Did you ever look into working from home?

Can your mom babysit? My baby is 6 months old. I went back to work when he was 3 months and 1 week. Family will always be your best option! I am so thankful that my mom is able to take care of my baby.

You could work at home like I have the last 5 years. I'm with a huge team of moms that work literally from our homes. You can learn about us easily.
The team started in 1999 and has been great. Check us out! Hope I can help

Can you do your current job from home? Can you find a new work from home job? Can you start your own work from home business? Can you and her father arrange your schedules so one of you is with her while the other works?
Can you afford to not work? Before you answer that last one, actually go over your household budget in detail. A few families cannot survive without two paychecks, but many can live quite easily on one salary IF they are willing to live more simply instead of trying to "keep up with the Joneses". Also, after a detailed look at the work related expenses in the family budget (not just day care, but work clothes and cleaning; all the expenses of the second car and extra travel; the hair, makeup, and manicures; the lattes and lunches; etc.) that they are actually losing money when mom goes to work.
Good luck

If you can at all avoid going back to work, I think little ones do best when they are with their mommies. I was able to work out of my home with my first two children. I've had to work full-time with my 3rd and I believe your cautious feelings are warranted since a baby cannot tell you whether they are being treated well or not. My husband and I have worked different shifts to minimize child care needed. When we needed care a couple hours every morning when she was a baby, we had a couple relatives that were college aged that we paid to come to our house (just one at a time) for that time. When we were going to have anyone new watch her, we had them watch her for a couple afternoons while we were at home doing a task like painting the bathroom so we could see how the person interacted with our daughter before we entrusted her to them without us there.

Start small, like leaving your baby to go shopping or to a movie. I left my son with my father in law on my first day back and it was scary. I knew he was in good hands though. It got easier after that first day. Now there are days I dream of taking him to the sitter and taking the day off work for some me time... :).

After my first baby 5 years ago, I was supposed to go back to work, but could never get up the courage to go! I just couldn't imagine leaving my 12 week old with strangers. I am so glad I never did because it opened my eyes to the work at home opportunities that are out there! I love that I can work from home(which I am doing right now) and make a full time income only working 20 hours or less a week! It really is such a blessing and I truly love being able to be with my babies all the time. I recently became a Designer for Origami Owl and LOVE it! I am always looking for new amazing women to join my team. Take a look at my website at www.katiea.origamiowl.com and see if it is something you would be interested in. So easy and fun! Email me and we can talk! firstname.lastname@example.com No matter what you decide to do, you will make the right choice for you and your new baby! :)

All of my sitters but one were older so they had the "grandmother feel" to the baby. The one which was not an older lady was an older mom and my kids enjoyed her house as she had a little one which was between my two in age.

Stacey - posted on 01/18/2013
It can be very hard to trust anyone especially as a first time mom. I'd start shopping around now and ask other moms in your area where they take their children. I got extremely lucky the first time I had to leave my son with a sitter. He was about 6 or so months old and I found a day care center I thought would be good but they didn't have openings. They gave me a number to someone that used to work there and now watched kids at her house. At that point my son had full on stranger scare going on. If someone he didn't know even spoke to him he would burst into tears. When I went to this lady's house he not only let her hold him but didn't cry when I walked out to my car to get his play pen. She was amazing and treated him just like he was her own. She treated all the kids that way and even if they were sick she would keep them and just kept them in a separate room so the other kids weren't exposed. Now my kids are 11 and 10 and I'm just as nervous about trusting anyone with them as I was then. I fully admit I'm overprotective of my children.

Proof of Heaven
A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife
Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.
Then, Dr. Alexander's own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander's eyes popped open. He had come back.
Alexander's recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.
Alexander's story is not a fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.
This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Reading it will change your life.

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
When I was a kid, I would often dream of flying.
Most of the time I'd be standing out in my yard at night, looking up at the stars, when out of the blue I'd start floating upward. The first few inches happened automatically. But soon I'd notice that the higher I got, the more my progress depended on... see more

I bought this dryer about 6 years ago and have been secretly wishing it broke so I could buy a new one ever since! It's big, heavy, and takes FOREVER to dry my long thick hair. There's no advantage to the Ion button either, it doesn't seem to make a difference. My hair still comes out frizzy and crispy. My mom's blow dryer (revlon I think?)was half the price and dries my hair twice as fast sans frizz. The filter cover is also stuck so I can't even open it to clean it. It's getting two lippies for durability, I've dropped it a few times and it works fine. But it's performance is just not enough for my hair type.

I guess this product come in a variety of models because I had this dryer for now 6 years and it still works like charm. Mine is black eith blue and silver details. It is on the heavybut man does it dry! I was looking to buy a new hairdryer when I went on a vacation with 3 of my girlfriens. I was the only one who brought a hairdryer and all the girls were super impress by the power and how short it is to dry your hair with it. I have hair up to the middle of my back and I would say they are completely dry after 8 minutes!
I just hope it won't ever break because it seems there is a lot of irregularities when it come to this product

I use the metallic blue one that sells at Target for around twenty dollars. This is my HG hairdryer because of the quality for the super low price. I've had this dryer for almost a year, and it is still working better than ever. I'm not one who is willing to spend a lot of money on a hairdryer, but I also don't want something that doesn't work properly and gives me a nasty head of unevenly dried frizz. I use this with the concentrator it comes with to blow dry down the hair shaft with a Conair Ion round barrel brush. It has made such a difference compared with the dryer I was using before, which believe it or not, was a higher end $70.00 dryer I had previously purchased at a department store. That dryer made my hair so frizzy that I had given up on blow drying period. After moving and switching hair stylists, I asked her to not blow dry my hair due to it frizzing. She reassured me it would not frizz and explained that a ion hairdryer with a high wattage and a concentrator would make all the difference, so I let her blow out my hair and it looked gorgeous. I decided to get myself a blowdryer closer to the one she had used, and ended up finding this one. It really turned out to be a super cheap dupe for my stylist's hairdryer and I really love using it. When used properly and with patience, I achieve a lovely salon-worthy blowout, all without even breaking the bank! HG heat styling tool.

These start out working great but quickly lose power and strength- don't want to replace a dryer every six months. I expect the motor to last at least a year. Cleaning did not help the motor just craps out.

Obviously there are several different versions of this dryer from the descriptions in the reviews, and some are better than others. I have the travel version that is blue and has a folding handle. Cost was $29 Cdn I think. I just bought my second one -- my last died after a few years of heavy use. I tried another cheap dryer and noticed how frizzy and dry my hair seemed.
Anyway, on mine there are three settings: high, low and cool. I tend to use the high setting as it has more force, and flip back and forth between the high and cool (which are beside each other) with my thumb so it doesn't get super-hot. This dryer definitely leaves my hair shinier and less frizzy than other dryers although I haven't compared many ionic ones. I don't find it super heavy or hard to manipulate so maybe those reviews are for other models. I also haven't had the sparks-flying issue (knock wood) although I've only used my new one for a week.
This dryer didn't come with a diffuser and I didn't want to give five stars because the settings aren't particularly versatile, but for me this is a good compact dryer that wasn't too expensive, and it dries my hair fast.

I dont understand all the bad reviews about this dryer, i love it.
When my mom had one (the last two years) i would constantly steal it cuhs it worked faster than my shitty revlon one. Then it broke, after two years, because my cousin got water in it or something, (fell in sink)
Anyways, i bought a revlon dryer, another small other brand one, and well, i went to go and buy this again because the other ones took forever, didnt get hot at all, and were loud..><;;
It is big, but i dont mind, cuhs my hair dries WAYY faster with the amount of air that blows out of it.

This dryer is horrible! At first I thought I was just imagining it. It took way longer to dry my hair than with my old dryer. My hair was always fizzy. And then today it broke after only a few months. The OFF/low/high switch just stopped working and then it started popping at me. Don't buy this! Spend a little extra and get a better dryer!

My mom owns this. What a piece of junk.
I find it difficult to handle. Things get pretty hot and heavy with this dryer, but not in a good way! The concentrator doesn't help much for straightening my hair. The words on the settings are rubbing off after a month of use, so you can't even tell what setting you're putting it on.
And you know the universal-fit Conair diffuser that's supposed to fit on any dryer, especially the Conair ones? You know the one. They sell it on exactly the same shelf as this dryer. Yeah, it doesn't fit. GREAT JOB, CONAIR.

Gets pretty hot. Very heavy. Seems to leave my hair poofy.
I only dry my hair every two to three days, so I keep putting off buying a nicer dryer. But I've never been able to just dry my hair without flat ironing it to make it presentable. I know I need a new one ,but this one isn't so bad that I have to have a new dryer right NOW.

I got this on sale for 18 bucks, originally 30 bucks at my local drugstore. i really wanted a blowdryer iwth a concentrated, and i got this one. I realized that the cool function can only go on high speed and not low, which was weird. Also, the concentrator is way too wide, about an inch wide. i suggest for you to get one that is very narrow. also, it's a bit heavy. It does do the job and dry your hair though. Also, it's cute cause it's blue. at least the one i have.

Vote no on hunting bill
Beware, fellow citizens of Kentucky. The truth about hunters is finally out. Hunters have always claimed the reason they want to kill wildlife is to keep them from starving. But, if voters approve the amendment to Kentucky's Constitution as written in the upcoming election, it would mean that even if an alternative method of wildlife management were available, they would have to kill them because it would be the preferred method required by law. Please vote no on this issue.

Snorlax drastically changes metagames by itself and can be a pain to face, but if utilized correctly, it can be an amazing asset to your team. It is a monster through and through; be careful when facing it.
There aren't words that can explain how much Curselax affects the metagame. Snorlax in general is a huge force to be wary of, but with Curse, it is a monster. It has the perfect build for one too: high HP and Special Defense, fairly nice Attack, low Defense, and dreadful Speed. If Curselax is the last Pokemon on your team, there is a strong possibility that you can make a comeback, as Snorlax can boost up and beat down common counters such as Skarmory, which can no longer phaze it.
Curse, Body Slam, and Rest are all obligatory moves, but the attack in the third moveslot depends on your playstyle and team. Earthquake hurts Tyranitar, Jirachi, and Metagross, but leaves Snorlax powerless against Gengar. Shadow Ball solves the Gengar problem and hits other uncommon Ghost-types, such as Dusclops, a lot harder. However, it does only slightly more damage to Metagross than Snorlax's STAB moves already do, and Snorlax will thus lose in the long run. Shadow Ball also leaves Snorlax as setup bait for Tyranitar, which is never a good thing. Fire Blast's pros are fairly obvious: it 3HKOes Metagross and can break Gengar's Substitutes, which prevents it from using Focus Punch. As a further plus, it is also unaffected by Will-O-Wisp. However, Fire Blast's greatest use is to nab the OHKO on Forretress and the 2HKO on most Skarmory, which none of the other moves can. However, it too provides setup opportunities for Tyranitar. Hidden Power Steel also breaks Gengar's Substitutes while hitting Tyranitar super effectively. However, as with Shadow Ball variants, Hidden Power Steel Snorlax loses coverage on Metagross and Jirachi.
68 Attack EVs and 132 Defense EVs give Snorlax Attack and Defense stats of 300 and 200 respectively. The rest of the EVs are split between HP and Special Defense, and an Adamant nature boosts its Attack.
This set can be a pain to take down overall, as it can sponge both direct attacks and status conditions with ease while dishing out heavy damage with STAB Double-Edge. It might not pack the same late-game punch as the Curselax variant, but it is nonetheless an amazing sponge and a valuable asset to most teams.
Snorlax can put a Choice Band to good use with its excellent bulk and good base 110 Attack; it fits in nicely on a Choice Band team as it is able to sponge special hits for the rest of your team. Return is the preferred STAB move for power and reliability, but Body Slam is always an option for its 30% paralysis rate. Selfdestruct OHKOes any opponents that don't resist it, and even some that do; for instance, even Skarmory needs maximum physical defense to survive.
SubPunch Snorlax might not be as useful as the other sets, but the element of surprise can help it snag an extra KO or two. This Snorlax can't do much to either Metagross or Skarmory, however. Body Slam has the dual purpose of providing reliable STAB as well as paralysis support, which also helps Snorlax keep its Substitute intact. Shadow Ball dents Ghost-types such as Gengar and Dusclops, which is crucial as they are immune to Body Slam.
This set requires some prediction, but if used correctly, Snorlax can badly hurt most of its switch-ins. It's really versatile and could definitely clean up the opponent's team if you save Snorlax for the late-game.
Due to Snorlax's immense special bulk, most opponents will aim to take it out with physical attacks. Counter takes advantage of this by putting Snorlax down to low health; it can then go out with a bang with Selfdestruct. Body Slam can paralyze opponents and hence enable Snorlax to outspeed them and use Explosion, but Return is stronger. The filler move depends on the team, but Shadow Ball is generally the most useful as it ensures that Ghost-types don't wall Snorlax cold.
This is a very risky set; even though this Snorlax is extremely hard to take down, it is also easy to wall. However, with the support of a Pursuit user to trap Ghost-types and Dugtrio to take out Metagross and Tyranitar, Snorlax can pull off a late-game sweep.
Other Options
Double-Edge is an option over Return or Body Slam on any set for its greater power, but it gives Snorlax nasty recoil, which can hurt when coupled with Spikes and sandstorm. Therefore, it is recommended only on the RestTalk set. Similarly, Flamethrower is always an option over Fire Blast; as long as Snorlax doesn't use a Special Attack-lowering nature, it should 3HKO Skarmory and do enough damage to break Gengar's Substitutes. It also prevents Snorlax from being stalled out of Fire Blast PP. Thunderbolt and Thunder are two other decent special attacks Snorlax can hold off Skarmory with; Thunder can also paralyze opponents. Snorlax won't do much damage to Suicune with either, however.
Belly Drum can work; if it does, it's extremely dangerous. Yawn, Block, Charm, Psych Up, Protect, and Toxic are all novelty moves as Snorlax is better off just attacking. In general, with Snorlax's versatility, it can mix and match moves and end up with a good set most of the time.
Checks and Counters
Counters to Snorlax depend entirely on its set. Weezing gets the first mention because it's physically bulky enough to take most boosted hits and can use Pain Split to feed off of Snorlax's higher HP. Furthermore, Weezing has access to moves such as Haze, which will eliminate any boosts Snorlax can muster from Curse, as well as Will-O-Wisp, which will harshly reduce Snorlax's Attack stat while also negating Leftovers and causing a little extra damage. Weezing can hit relatively hard with Sludge Bomb, and if required, even turn to Explosion to finish off Snorlax.
Virtually any Snorlax set is walled early-game by Suicune, which can Roar away its Curse boosts. However, Suicune gets worn down by boosted hits pretty quickly and will be forced to Rest; there's always the possibility of Snorlax using Selfdestruct on Suicune as well. If Snorlax lacks a Fire- or Electric-type move, Skarmory can come in for free, set up Spikes, and phaze it away for Spikes damage. If Snorlax is the last Pokemon, however, these two counters have a harder time. Skarmory will only be able to beat Curse Snorlax if Skarmory carries Counter and the latter lacks a Fire- or Electric-type move. Suicune is faster and can set up Calm Mind, though it has little chance of coming out on top unless it has gained several boosts before Snorlax switches in.
Another pain for Snorlax is Celebi. Without a boost from Choice Band or Curse, Snorlax cannot easily 2HKO Celebi, which means it can stall out Snorlax with Leech Seed and Recover; it also shrugs off Body Slam paralysis thanks to Natural Cure and Heal Bell. To prevent losing to a Resting Snorlax, Celebi can set up Calm Mind and take down Snorlax with Psychic, as long as it plays it safe with Recover. Again, it needs to be wary of Selfdestruct. There's also the Metagross / Tyranitar / Gengar triangle addressed in the first set; if Snorlax doesn't have the right moves for them, they will beat it. However, note that it can stall out Gengar that lack Focus Punch more often than not, even if it doesn't have anything to hit Gengar with.
Fighting-types make for more offensive checks or counters to Snorlax. None can repeatedly come in on STAB Return, Body Slam, or Double-Edge and live to tell the tale, but they can switch into predicted Rests, Curses, and, to an extent, Snorlax's coverage attacks as well, and hit it on its relatively poor Defense; Focus Punch will hurt Snorlax even after multiple Curse boosts. Heracross puts a big dent in Snorlax with Brick Break or Megahorn, while Medicham can use Hi Jump Kick, but the best checks are Cross Chop users such as Machamp, Primeape, and Hariyama, as a critical hit will OHKO Snorlax no matter how many Curse boosts it has. Besides all this, Snorlax generally isn't good at taking physical hits from the likes of Aerodactyl and Salamence.

We have made it easier for you to make your police registration appointment by arranging for the police to come to the University campus on the following days:
Dates: The following Mondays and Wednesdays in January, including Monday 6, Wednesday 8, Monday 13, Wednesday 15, Monday 20, Wednesday 23, Monday 27 and Wednesday 29 January Time: 09.30 – 14.50Venue: Deri House, 2 – 4 Park Grove (map ref. 60)
You can make an appointment on our online booking service at:
If you miss all the appointments in January, the police officer will also be providing a registration service on Wednesdays 9.30 – 14.50 throughout February and March. You can book your appointment on the online booking system above.
To register with the police for the first time you will need:
Please come to your appointment with all the above items. If you don't have all the documents the police cannot issue a Registration certificate.
Normally appointments only take 20 minutes. Though this depends on the number of questions the police need to ask you and if you've completed the questionnaire correctly.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your appointment time, so you should not have to wait too long.
Want priority? Make an appointment!
People with appointments are given priority over those who do not have appointments. So if you turn up at the International Office without an appointment, you will have to wait. Please be patient, staff will try their very best to try to get you seen by the Police that same day.
Your police appointment is a very important and is a priority for you when you first arrive. In fact it is more important than attending any University classes or activities. This is because it is a legal immigration requirement of your entry into the UK. If you fail to register with the police you could be prosecuted and there will be a note put on your immigration record. This will negatively affect any future visa applications you may make to extend your stay in the UK.

Our slab-built home in Central Florida was built 1958 and has badly corroded galvanized pipes. The pipes are in/under the slab and are not accessible for replacement. Three locations need hot water.
LOCATIONS: The 3 locations are built against outside walls, and each has a cold-water spigot located outside and within 3 feet of the required point-of-use. Each of these outdoor spigots is the termination on a pipe that "stand ups" a couple of feet out of the the ground and serves nothing else except occasional garden-hoses (ie: they are not mounted on the wall and appear not to be served by pipes from inside the house).
TEMPERATURES: The measured outdoor water temp coming into the house is 73 degrees, but 65 degrees is possible during the dead of winter (February). Our desired output water temperature is 110 degrees max (!) at each of the three locations.
TURN-ON FLOW: Our desired flow-requirement for the 'turn on' of hot water is 0.5 GPM (less is preferred) at each location.
MAX FLOW RATE: Two of the locations need a max flow rate between 1.5 - 2.5 GPM, but 1.0 - 1.5 GPM is the desired max flow rate for the other location.
POWER: The house has no gas service of any kind, and I will not install gas. Electric service is 200 AMP and I have 10 vacant slots available in the breaker-box.
WIRING: Due to previous-owner changes, one location already has an unused AWG12-2 (and bare ground-wire) cable available under that bathroom's vanity, and I have already tested it and found it usable. One location must be wired during current work (we are re-siding). The remaining location will either be wired during current work or will be put off until more funding is certain.
SALVAGE: When these point-of-use tankless electric water heaters have been installed the present 40 gallon heater will be removed and offered on freecycle.com; its under/in-slab piping will be abandoned.
HELP WANTED: Advice will be appreciated, especially advice about wiring and breaker sizing, about siting the units, about our expectations (described beside the capitalized headings, above), and (especially) about reliable brands, and (also especially) about service and satisfaction experience.

One-Year Flood Anniversary
Today marks the one-year anniversary since devastating flooding hit the area. Last year, over five inches of rain fell over the course of 18 hours, leading to a rapid water rise in the Illinois and Fox Rivers. In Marseilles, seven barges struck the dam, causing significant damage and leading to flooding in homes along the river. Representative Adam Kinzinger recently announced $35 million for dam repairs which are expected to take three years to complete. According to the National Weather Service in Chicago, the Illinois River in La Salle crested at a record breaking 34.4 feet and the Illinois River in Ottawa crested at a record breaking 473.7 feet. The Vermilion River in Leonore crested at a record breaking 30.3 feet.
Hog Farm Hearing
Residents from Wenona, Lostant and surrounding communities filled the bleachers at Fieldcrest East Middle School Thursday night for a public meeting on a proposed hog farm. Officials from the Illinois Department of Agriculture and the company of the hog farm, Sandy Creek Lane, LLC, gave a presentation of the farm and answered questions from those in attendance. The main concern of residents was potential rufuse leakage into the aquifer and the odors that may emit from the farm. The Marshall County Board now has 30 business days from last night's meeting to submit a non-binding recommendation to the Department of Agriculture for the construction of the hog farm.
Illinois Marijuana Fees
Illinois regulators crafting the first rules for the state's new medical marijuana industry have lowered patient fees and deleted a section that angered gun owners. Patients would pay $100 a year to apply for a medical marijuana card in Illinois under the revised preliminary rules. Disabled people and veterans would pay $50 annually.
1993 Murder
An Illinois man who was imprisoned before DNA evidence cleared him of murder has filed a new lawsuit accusing authorities of conspiring to frame him for the death of his girlfriend. Alan Beaman was convicted in the 1993 strangulation death of Jennifer Lockmiller and spent 13 years in prison. The Illinois Supreme Court reversed his conviction in 2008.
Rutherfood Sexual Harassment Suit
A man suing Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford (ROOTH'-ur-furd) for sexual harassment wants more time to respond to Rutherford's motion to have the lawsuit tossed out. A federal judge has delayed a decision on whether to dismiss Edmund Michalowski's (mik-oh-LOW'-skeez lawsuit. Rutherford says the claims of his ex-staffer are motivated by politics. The lawsuit surfaced as Rutherford was running for governor.
Child in Hot Car
A southern Illinois man has pleaded guilty in the death of his 23-month-old son, who died in a hot car while his father passed out after drinking. 33-year-old Wayne M. Hubert of O'Fallon entered the plea Thursday to charges of involuntary manslaughter and endangering the life of his 6-year-old daughter. A complaint says Hubert strapped 23-month-old Nathan into a car seat last June in a vehicle parked in his driveway. Officials say he went into his home, drank alcohol and passed out. The mother later came home and the child was found.
Tight-rope Chicago Skyscrapers
Daredevil Nik Wallenda is in Chicago scouting possible locations for a tightrope walk between two Windy City skyscrapers in the fall. The high-wire walker says he first would check out Willis Tower. Wallenda has walked across the Niagara Falls and Grand Canyon in the past two years.
World's Largest Covered Wagon
Workers in central Illinois have finished most of the repairs to the world's largest covered wagon. The 40-foot-long, five-ton wagon fashioned from Illinois oak and steel sits along Old Route 66 in Lincoln. It was damaged by 50 mile-per-hour winds during a January storm.
Potential School District Funding Cuts
Illinois Senate Democrats say most school districts in the state will see major funding cuts if the temporary tax increase is rolled back in January. They say general state aid will be reduced by $450 million and Chicago's public school funding would drop by $173 million.
State Unemployment at a Low
Illinois unemployment has hit a five-year low. State officials say the March rate was 8.4 percent -- the lowest mark since January 2009. But Illinois still has one of the highest jobless rates in the country. The national rate last month was 6.7 percent.
Valentine Wife Murder
A trial for a Peoria man accused of killing his wife on Valentine's Day 2013 has been delayed again. 38-year-old Nathan Leuthold's murder trial was rescheduled for mid-July. Leuthold's trial was to begin March 10 until it was rescheduled for May 5. Leuthold has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the Feb. 14, 2013 death of Denise Leuthold. Authorities accuse him of staging a break-in at their home and shooting the woman to death.

At last pot grown herbs!!
But pleeaase Ocado IMPROVE THE QUALITY!!! Arrived very pale are spindly. Did green up a bit on the window ledge after a couple of days however the taste just wasn't very strong. Flat leaf Parsley is supposed to be 'superior' to curly, not in this case though. I agree with the other reviewer, please Ocado find stock from the U.K.. Paying a bit more is worth it if it actually has taste and doesn't end up in the bin!

Great in the winter
I only buy parsley in the winter when I can't get it from the garden, but this is really tasty and fragrant and a useful stopgap until the weather warms up!

Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn is sorry about how his cheesy moustache looks, but its for a good cause.

Brady Quinn apologizes for his sorry-looking stache
November 29
By RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star
Quinn and fellow quarterback Matt Cassel are wearing moustaches this week as part of Movember, an initiative that raises funds to support the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
It looks terrible on me, so Ill be excited to shave it off this week, Quinn said. Were trying to bring awareness to prostate cancer. A lot of men are out there facing that battle, so we try to bring awareness to it in a subtle way.
Quinn says the moustache is not growing on him.
I hate it, he said. I think I look absolutely ridiculous, so I apologize to every Kansas City fan, the organization, as well as anyone who is just a fan of me. I apologize.

Better data drives better ag decisions, and data is getting bigger and bigger. How will you manage it?
I wasn't going to write about it. I truly wasn't.

It was a Super Bowl ad that grabbed our attention for its shear simplicity, not its shock factor. Paul Harvey sharing his, "So God Made a Farmer" tribute.
Find new alliances? Sit down and work out compromises? Editor Susan Crowell is all for it, just as long as we're not dealing with the HSUS.
Most of us are science illiterate. That's why emotion and public perception steers policy, not science. A GMO opponent changes his mind.
I don't know what they're doing in D.C., but it's clear what they're not doing. The work we sent them there to do.
Agriculture drives a huge chunk of the economy in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. And that's not hyperbole, it's fact.
Editor Susan Crowell shares the importance of seeking others' advice when it comes to improving your farm. Grazing councils are a great example.
Some are touting New York's yogurt empire as the equivalent to California's Silicon Valley. Editor Susan Crowell says let's hope it keeps growing, one spoonful at a time.
Anti-GMO sentiment is based on faulty science, emotion, a mistrust of big corporations, and even conspiracy theories. Editor Susan Crowell serves up her thoughts.
Any time we can increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables, we win — both from a health and an agricultural production standpoint.

No two farmers manage their farms the same way — one organic grower could have higher risk of bacterial contamination than another, and the same could be said of a nonorganic grower.

Hi all,
My boyfriend and myself have been discussing the possibility of heading to Africa for a hunt (for specific plains game). This forum has been a great place for me to acquire some of the answers I've been looking for.
I think the biggy for me is in a few of my inquiries I've been contacted by a kind of a go between or representative living in the States to set up an African hunt, but how do you know that they are who they say they are? and is this a common practice?
I just want to make sure that when we do this, that we actually get to experience this probably once in a lifetime hunt, then be taken for a very expensive lesson.

Make certain you check references as in more than one. Ask experienced hunters about the agent's reputation as well as the PH you will be hunting with.
If it does not feel right, it probably is not.
Which country are you thinking about hunting?
BTW if I receive unsolicited calls, letters, or emails from outfitters that I have not heard of they all go in the garbage.

Thank you for that advice, I will be definitly taking it! I guess if I'm questioning the email, then it shows me that it should be garbaged.
We are thinking South Africa, I've heard good things about it.

As you probably have read the site has/is being revised, so traffic has been a little slow, but is coming back quickly. There are several guys that post on here that conduct hunts in South Africa. Namibia is another good plains game area. There are also several people on the site that have made multiple plains game hunts in these countries. Hopefully they chime in.
Always be careful when choosing an outfitter to plan your hunting experience. There are quite a few respectable and successful US States based outfitters, this forum also contains some great information. I would make sure you get references of people who already went on hunts with their outfit to get their personally opinion of the trip. The cost alone makes you have to do the proper research.

Thank you both. I do look forward to meeting new people, I will also do research and ask the questions . And I am starting to feel better about this now,

It depends on how big of a sable you are looking for...I know it's pretty high on my list. For free range hunts you can try Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Namibia, and Mozambique too name a few. There are always fenced it properties in most countries. Prices range from $6000 to $15000+...it all depends. It all depends. Some places the trophy fee is low, but the daily fees are high.
I really like the Limpopo Province for big kudu, but heck they can be found all over South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe...the critical question to ask is how many are on the property and what quality is available. Anything in 50+ inch range in very good. The east cape kudu will be small in length but it's fun to hunt. A good kudu can go for $1000 to $3000...it all depends on the quality and the outfitter.

Hi Shylow
Welcome to the forum & youd get all your questions answered here, there are very fine & thorough professional outfitters to cater to your desired trophy animal you intend taking. Check out the references as Mike 70560 stated , gather the knowhow of the outfit you wish to hunt with and the PH guiding you, and this forum shall furnish very satisfactory replies.
So happy hunting and may you guys bag a trophy class sable

That is a valid question. One thing you can do is read more about them on their website, and/or contact some previous clients, or google them. This forum may also help you in verifying if the agent or outfit is legitimate.
The advantage of using an agent in the US is that you have a local contact for all your inquiries, information and booking. It is not always easy to contact people overseas and it also helps in case something goes wrong like flight delays etc.

Big, big changes have been in the works! I am now completely FREE!
On May 31, 2008, I finished drafting my resignation letter for my full time job of over nine years. Yes, that's right, I'm taking the freelance plunge -- officially going solo and becoming a self-employed entrepreneur.
This is something I've been looking forward to for such a long time now! Anyone who knows me knows of the insane hours I've been keeping -- working 60 to 70 hours a week, with not more than four to five hours of sleep a night, all to juggle working a full-time job, running my own web design business part time, and not to mention that thing called having a life -- which, in my case, is heavily centered around an almost 3-year-old.
I had my "AH-HA" moment the Sunday before Memorial Day. I was playing outside with my daughter in the sandbox, while sitting in a lawn chair right beside her. Watching and hearing her play, looking up at the clouds floating and birds flying by in the sky, hearing the relaxing sound of wind rustling through the palm trees, watching the squirrels playing (and napping) in the tree... a combination of things in that single moment, made me realize that this is what it's all about.
My husband and I moved here a few years ago -- we had this house built on the lot that we picked (much more bang for your buck than where we were previously renting an apartment). It finally hit me that we moved to be in this beautiful place to enjoy each other and our house and our lives, now with a beautiful baby girl (OK, toddler -- she's not a baby anymore!).
I realized these last few years living here, especially since my daughter was born, have literally flown past me in the blink of an eye. This year in particular has gone by so quickly! And what was I doing? Instead of enjoying the back yard on a regular basis, I was cooped up inside this office. Missing out on her growing up -- missing out on LIFE!
Now, I must say that I did work from home, and it's something I was so incredibly grateful for! I have been able to witness so many of my daughter's "firsts" -- her first smile, first bath, first time rolling over, first time crawling, first time walking... heck, even the first time she tried to get something from her Daddy (chocolate covered raisins), and then came to ask me when he said no! (Where did she learn to do THAT so quickly!)
It's a lot of the little things, too. Working so much, I was constantly tired and stressed and thinking of work. So even when I'm with my family, my mind was still at least half on work, if not completely checked-out and wishing I were asleep.

I'm trying to install Adobe CS5.5 (Master Collection) in our teaching labs. These machines do not have direct access to the internet, you have to enter a username and password for the proxy sever. I'm having trouble with Adobe Community Help: it prompts for proxy authentication multiple times, typically there are three separate prompts (which appear simultaneously) when you first open help, but additional prompts appear sometimes when navigating. On some pages five new prompts appear!
I've done some experimentation to try to see what's going on, and it looks as if the multiple prompts are associated with multiple sites, for example help.adobe.com, code.jquery.com, and api.demandbase.com.
I've already disabled the automatic updates for AIR and for Community Help itself, and disabled Adobe Live services using the AdobeOnlineDefault registry value.
1) Is there any way to make Community Help prompt ONCE and reuse the username/password provided whenever it visits a new site?
2) If not, how do I file this as a bug?
3) Is there any way to *force* help to open in a web browser instead of in Community Help? (Note that the usual configuration option doesn't work in this scenario; the calling application, e.g., Photoshop, appears to be trying to confirm that the web site is available and falling back to Community Help when it can't.)
4) Failing any other solution, where can I find a complete list of sites used by Community Help so that I can whitelist them?
So far I have:
but this isn't nearly complete.
Hi Harry: I think this technote should answer your question: "Disable internet access from CS5 Community Help Client for system administrators" -- http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/849/cpsid_84992.html.
Also, another good resource for you would be the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE). This is a specialized toolset designed for sysadmins to manage installation and deployment of the Creative Suite across network environments. Using AAMEE, you should have the option to deploy CS5.5 without installing AIR or Community Help (you can uncheck them from the install dialog box).
Here's a link to the download: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
Be sure to check out the AAMEE deployment guide: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/c reativesuite/pdfs/AdobeApplicationManagerEnterpriseEditionDeploymentGu ide_v2_1.pdf
Mark: the setup described in that technote is no use to us because it requires each user to have their own copy of the help content. We have thousands of users and can't afford the disk space involved.
I'm already using AAMEE, but I haven't tried not installing the Community Help application. I'll give that a go.
Hi Harry: I am escalating your issue to the Help engineering team. Give me a day or two to investigate and follow up. Sorry for the difficulties and thanks for your patience.
Is there an update on this? We are having the same problem.
Hi: this issue will be resolved in the next update/release of CS. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide a backwards-compatible fix for public distribution at this time.

Xtra (Canada) (02.05.13)
Chlamydia is now the number one reported sexually transmitted infection (STI) in Ottawa, Canada; rates have been steadily increasing for three years. To stop the increase in reported cases, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) has reintroduced an anonymous bathhouse testing project to try to curtail the extent of this sometimes-silent bacterial infection in the gay community. Males frequenting Club Ottawa and Steamworks can anonymously take a survey and provide contact information and a urine sample for an STI test. Dr. Patrick O'Byrne of the University of Ottawa developed the self-directed bathhouse testing project in 2007 with Rick Dias of OPH's Sexual Health Centers, declaring that if an individual does not want to visit a clinician, the bathhouse is an option.
Throughout the past 10 years, chlamydia diagnoses have steadily risen in Ontario, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. Chlamydia accounted for 82.1 percent of all reported STIs in Ottawa and 63 percent in Toronto in 2012. OPH reports that it recorded 1,618 cases of chlamydia on average per year, from 2005 to 2009. That number rose to 2,314 cases in 2010. Dr. Vera Etches, the City of Ottawa's associate medical officer of health, says it is impossible to know the precise number of chlamydia cases in Ottawa's gay men, because the sexual orientation of a person tested at a sexual health clinic is not recorded unless that person tests positive for HIV. Though the transmission rate in the gay community may be difficult to determine, O'Byrne felt that the need to reintroduce bathhouse testing was crucial. Andrew Brett, communications director for the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT), says that even though chlamydia is mainly transmitted among heterosexuals, the rise of chlamydia concerns ACT because any STI makes an individual more susceptible to HIV infection and vice versa.

Mélissa Nepton Fall/Winter 2012
Melissa Nepton is one of those promising designers with a big future that has just emerged onto the scene. We first saw her when she was on the TV show "La Collection," and was voted into the finals by the judges. Then she went on as an exchange student to the École Nationale Supérieure des arts Décoratifs in Paris, from there she went on to become a designer and buyer later in Montreal.
I was very excited to see this Fall/Winter 2012 collection by Melissa. Such a great mix of textures and big collars, her wool and knits where just MAGNIFIQUE. We saw such a great selection of Grey, White, Carmel and a little turquoise. Noelly (AKA miss SLY) said "The silk ponytail sported by the models almost had an equestrian feel to it all." Also the great mix of hush puppies foot wear put it all together well.

Sony Reveal Grand Displays
By Ty Pendlebury | Wednesday | 01/02/2006
Sony have announced two new rear-projection screens for its Grand Wega range, a 40-inch and a 50-inch, using 3LCD technology.
The two displays, the 42-inch KF-E42A10 (the 'E42') and 50-inch KF-E50A10 (the 'E50'), feature a native 1280 x 760 resolution, HDMI and PC inputs, and a brand new graphical user interface.
"With the advantage of 3LCD technology, customers can be assured of brilliant and true-to-life image quality never seen before," says Koichi Osaki, Group Product Manager for Display. "In addition, these Grand WEGA TVs boast the full range of AV connectivity, High-Definition (HD) capabilities, DVD progression, and standard NTSC/PAL signals for more flexibility and convenience."
Both the E42 and E50 utilise Cinema Black Pro technology which is designed to improve image quality and contrast levels by controlling the models' light output during dark scenes. A circuit simultaneously samples the brightness content of the video signal and adjusts the iris opening to deliver the best possible brightness, contrast and black level to audiences, for unparalleled clarity and quality.
The KF-E42A10 42" retails for $2,999, while the KF-E50A10 50" retails for $3,999, and both are available now.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I can't say enough about how excellent this invitation is! We ordered them for our winter wedding and they are just exquisite. The paper is heavy and is very good quality, while the silver/grey text matches our wedding colors. All our guests are raving about them! I wish WPD had a wedding program to match this design because we would definitely use it!"
"This invitation is absolutely amazing! The quality is perfect. I could not have asked for a more perfect invite to set the tone for our formal wedding! And the custom charcoal color came out to match perfectly!"
"I can't even express how thrilled I am with these invitations. They are absolutely beautiful. The paper is heavy, and the engraving is gorgeous. I couldn't be happier."
"The paper quality is amazing. The paper is thick. The design is beautiful. I ordered it as a sample. It is the most expensive sample I ordered but I fell in love with the invitation."
"I ordered this invitation after seeing about 15 other options. I loved the paper quality and the raised type. The gray and white color combination is not too feminine or masculine, so it appeased both the bride and groom. It's a great option for a modern type of wedding but with some glamour as well."

The T 90 is the first high-end headphones with a completely open design utilizing our revolutionary Tesla technology. Only headphones of this kind can bring across the feeling of closeness and transparency - nothing stands between sound enthusiasts and their music. The perfect music experience in undisturbed surroundings. With the T 90 being tuned to spontaneous listening enjoyment, the music fan can immediately immerse himself in the sound. The T 90 combines the neutral analytic sound of the Tesla transducer with a full, warm timbre and a joy of playing that brings pleasure with it from the very first note. The T 90 not only stands out due to its high level of sound quality but also from its elegant appearance. The velvet materials used on the headband and ear pads ensure endless listening pleasure and wearing comfort.
www.macrewind.de 09/2013Title: Test: beyerdynamic A 20 / 90Author: Frank Borowski
Translated from the original German article[...]At a price of around 500 Euro the T 90 is a little bit expensive, but its sound … my goodness! The T 90 is not only a little bit better than the mentioned other tested products, it's the best of them.
Audio 08/2012Title: It's all in the head!Author: Alexandros MitropoulosFive headphones tested: beyerdynamic T 90, Focal Spirit One, Fostex TH-900,PSB M4U 2, Sony MDR-MA-900
Translated from the original German test report
[...]The T 90 is the latest addition to the headphone family. As a first model with open design it shall provide a natural listening sensation. The impression of being acoustically isolated from the outside world will not be the case when putting the headphone on. The workmanship of the T 90 is beyond all doubt. Massive, precisely crafted stainless steel yokes give not only a noble look, but also a robust stature. With regard to the headband and the ear pads, the manufacturer prefers a soft microfiber material which ensures excellent comfort in combination with a weight of 330 g.[...]The piano in Aaron Parks' "Riddle me this" (from "Invisible Cinema") was impressive with an open and natural sound. The bass also reached the lower depths and remained defined and dynamic. Even at high levels the sound from the T 90 remained unchanged.Sound Quality: 85 pointsPrice/Performance: Very good
Stereo 08/2012Title: Loudspeakers? That is old school.Author: Ulrich WienforthTested: B&W P3, beyerdynamic T 90, HIFIMAN HE-300, Philips Fidelio L1, PSB M4U2, Sennheiser HD 700, Sony MDR-MA 900, V-Moda CrossF LP 2
[...]The low frequencies of the T 90 sound rather slim, but concise. Its sound is very transparent, highly defined with pleasant mids and light transparency. A great headphone for long-term listening!
Price/Performance: Very good

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – A conference high and program record seven members of the 2013 MAC Co-Champion Central Michigan gymnastics team received Academic All-MAC recognition, the conference office has announced. Honored were seniors Emily LaFontaine and Meaghan McWhorter, juniors Emily Heinz and Brittany Petzold, and sophomores Kylie Fagan, Halle Moraw, and Taylor Noonan.
The Academic All-MAC honor recognizes a student-athlete for excellence in athletics and academics. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average and have participated in 50 percent of the contests for that particular sport.
LaFontaine, who possesses a 3.67 GPA, was a mainstay in the CMU uneven bars and floor exercise line-ups in 2013, competing in all 14 meets in each event. Ranked No. 7 in the MAC in the floor exercise at season's end, she placed second in the event at the MAC Championships with a final score of 9.825, including earning a perfect 10.000 from one judge. LaFontaine, who scored a 9.700 or better in both the floor and bars in 13 meets, totaled 11 top three finishes for the season, including four title wins.
A political science major with a 3.62 GPA, McWhorter competed in the vault in all 14 meets, anchoring the line-up. She earned the highest score in the MAC this season, a 9.900, tying teammate freshman Kirsten Petzold. Her score also tied a career high and ranks 10th in CMU program history. McWhorter scored above a 9.800 in the vault in 10 meets, including a 9.825 at the NCAA Regional, and recorded eight top three finishes, with three title wins.
Heinz, a biology major with a 3.78 GPA, competed in the vault, balance beam, and floor exercise in 2013, establishing career highs in all three events. Ranked No. 4 in the MAC in the balance beam at season's end, she placed second in the event at the conference championships. Heinz totaled 13 top three finishes for the season, including four title wins.
A health fitness major with a 3.88 GPA, Petzold was named MAC Co-Gymnast of the Year and First Team All-MAC this season. She was the MAC's No. 1-ranked all-arounder in 2013, posting the second highest total for the season, a career high 39.400.

EDMONTON - The oilsands, Canada's biggest industry, make an economic contribution to the country that in 2012 was far greater than Saskatchewan's, a new study has determined.
And with oilsands production expected to double by 2025, the benefits to Alberta and every province, as well as the U.S., are expected to double. That's according to Oilsands Economic Benefits: Today and in the Future, a report prepared by U.S.-based IHS in co-operation with three Canadian university business departments and various petroleum associations and companies.
The study found that oilsands production supported more than 478,000 direct, indirect and induced Canadian jobs in 2012 — three per cent of all jobs in the country — and contributed $91 billion of Canada's gross domestic product. Saskatchewan's contribution to GDP in 2012 was $78 billion.
By 2025, 753,000 jobs — equivalent to five per cent of total Canadian employment in 2012 — will be linked to the oilsands.
"Oilsands production already represents a significant economic contribution to the Canadian economy, with annual expenditures already greater than the gross domestic product of half of the Canadian provinces," said Jackie Forrest, IHS senior director, who heads the IHS CERA Oil Sands Dialogue.
IHS expects oilsands production to double from the current level of 1.9 million barrels per day to 3.8 million by 2025.
The oilsands are a capital intensive industry, with continuing investment needed to sustain production. In fact, 80 cents of every dollar made by oilsands operations was reinvested to maintain and move production to market in 2012, said Kevin Birn, IHS associate director.
"The economic benefit of oilsands is considerably greater than the amount of money oilsands companies invest, or the number of people who work directly in the industry," Birn said. "Each dollar invested in oilsands spurs additional spending across other sectors of the economy. Oilsands development depends on a multitude of other industries — such as construction, engineering, geology, finance, manufacturing, environmental analysis and hospitality."
The study expects government revenues from the total effect of oilsands investment in Canada to jump from $28 billion in 2012 to $61 billion in 2025.
