I have been listening to these SRS 2.3's that I got for my buddy and am delivering them to him this coming weekend. I have done the Solen caps/Mills resistor upgrades and redid the grills and all 4 side panels. I never had time to make new tops and bottoms. Oh well...that will be another trip home. But here's the thing. I swear that these 2.3's have LESS bass than my SRS2's. Not by a little margin...but VERY noticeable. Everything is wired correct, too. I confirmed that before putting the mid/woofers back in the cabinet and traced them all the way from the crossovers to the speakers. Plus, I just spent the last 15 minutes pulling the drivers out of the right channel again for the hell of it just to see if I had fudged something. Nope. And, it doesn't have that typical out of phase sound to them either. The right channel was the side that had the 4 vertical drivers that had the claw marks in them. (fixed that with silicone...works like a champ)
When I am playing stuff (read: anything) on the SRS2's, you can physically see the mid/woofers move. They barely even move on the 2.3's it seems like. It doesn't matter if I'm sitting between them at my desk or sitting 8 feet back on the couch. They are just lacking in bass. I think the 1C's have more bass than these! There are even times I thought the SRS2's had TOO much bass if there was such a thing. You'd never think that these even had a 15" passive in them!
I guess I'll pull the left channel woofers and see what's up. Man, this is discouraging. And the thing about it is...I thought the same thing when I first heard them BEFORE I had done anything to them! So, I had that as sort of a bench mark of what I started with. I went back thru some of the same tunes so it would be familiar. I think the Monitor 10B's honestly have more bass than these do.
Any ideas????

Tobacco Prevention & Control
The Tobacco Prevention and Control (TPC) Program of Snohomish Health District mission is:
To provide information, education, resources, policy and technical support to Snohomish County communities and partners in order to build capacity change regarding tobacco use and exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke.
This mission includes all forms of smoked and smokeless tobacco cessation, exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke, and youth prevention. Snohomish Health District is mandated to enforce the Smoking in Public Places Law (RCW 70.160 revised Clean Indoor Air Act) in partnership with city/county government and local law enforcement. The Health District also monitors and enforces youth retail tobacco sales laws in partnership with the WA State Liquor Control Board.
Hookah a Dangerous Trend
Hookah tobacco smoking is a
rising trend
among young smokers throughout the United States. The Snohomish Health District is charged with enforcing the state
Smoking in Public Places law
(RCW 70.160), which was approved by voters in 2005. All places that are open to the public or that have employees are prohibited from allowing smoking of any kind. Hookah smoke is just as
harmful as cigarette smoke
, full of toxins known to cause lung disease, cancer, and heart disease.
In February 2013, the Snohomish County Superior Court ruled that an Everett hookah lounge had intentionally and repeatedly violated the law.
Media release:
Hookah lounge can't allow indoor smoking

Quit Line Information

Quit Line website
: 1.877.777.6534
Tobacco use continues to be the nation's number one cause of preventable death, killing more people every year than AIDS, alcohol, drugs, murders, suicides, car crashes, and fires combined. Of all Americans who smoke regularly, 70 percent (men, women, and children) want to quit.
Policy Change and Adult Cessation:
Children learn how to behave by example. When policies are in place restricting smoking in public places such as restaurants, malls, parks and playgrounds, tobacco use becomes the perceived exception rather than the rule in adult behavior. Children observe and mimic the behavior of adults around them from a very young age.
One of the most significant factors influencing whether a child will experiment with and become addicted to tobacco is whether or not a parent or caretaker in the home smokes. By helping adults to quit tobacco, it helps to prevent children and youth from becoming tobacco users.

I want to know more about youth and smoking or chewing tobacco
Youth Tobacco Prevention
Tobacco use, the nation's number one cause of preventable death, can be considered a childhood-onset disease. One-half of all teens who smoke start by the age of 14 and 10% start between the ages of 9 and 10. Over 90% of people who smoke started prior to age 18.
Sub-sections of our culture continue to support the view that tobacco use is cool, sophisticated and an acceptable way to rebel. Mainstream media often supports tobacco use as a cultural norm by portraying smoking and tobacco use in film and on the internet.
Forty five children in the state of Washington start using tobacco every day, and one-third of them will eventually die from it. The Tobacco Prevention and Control Program staff at Snohomish Health District works to prevent youth tobacco initiation in the following ways:
Retailer Education:
Tobacco Prevention and Control Program staff work with state and local partners to educate businesses which hold a tobacco retail license. This effort is done during compliance checks as well as through mailings, media campaigns, and one-on-one educational sessions with management of local tobacco retail establishments.
Other resources for youth prevention:
Ending Nicotine Dependence (E.N.D.)
END is an eight-module tobacco cessation and reduction curriculum specifically designed for youth. The Utah Department of Health, Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Program designed this curriculum
Teens Against Tobacco Use (T.A.T.U.)
TATU is a peer education program provided by the American Lung Association of Washington (ALAW). Middle and high school students are trained in media literacy, tobacco and health advocacy, and presentation skills, enabling them to discuss issues with their peers and younger students

How do I report a violation of the Smoking in Public Places Law?
Enforcement of Washington's Smoking in Public Places Law (RCW 70.160)
The Health District's Tobacco Prevention and Control Program is the enforcement agent in Snohomish County for implementing Washington's Smoking in Public Places Law. In November 2005, Washington voters passed Initiative 901 by 63%, passing in every county in Washington.
This comprehensive measure to protect workers and the public from the devastating health effects of secondhand smoke went into effect on December 8, 2005, and applies to ALL Washington workplaces (including bars, taverns, restaurants, bowling alleys and truck stops) and public spaces. In addition, smoking is prohibited within 25 feet of all doorways, entryways, windows that open, and ventilation intakes of public places and workplaces.

What can I do about the secondhand cigarette smoke I am breathing?
Secondhand Tobacco Smoke Information and Resources
Secondhand tobacco smoke (SHTS) is a mix of smoke coming from the end of a burning tobacco product and smoke exhaled by smokers. This complex mixture has more than 4,000 chemicals, 50 of which are known to be probable carcinogens (human cancer-causing agents).
In 2005, the California Air Resources Board identified Environmental Tobacco Smoke as a toxic air contaminant for which there is no safe level of exposure. People exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke are more likely to develop a host of preventable diseases including lung cancer, coronary heart disease, and breast cancer, especially in younger, primarily premenopausal women. The Tobacco Prevention and Control Program staff at the Health District works to reduce or eliminate exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke from indoor and outdoor public places in the following ways:
Choosing Smoke-Free Housing:
Washington residents are protected from secondhand tobacco smoke in all workplaces and public places, but many people who live in rental or condo multi-unit housing are distressed to come home to find they are breathing uninvited secondhand smoke in their own homes. There are things that you can do. Click
to download the "Choose Smoke-free Housing" pages or
to download the booklet in booklet form. This will be a starting place for ideas of how to make your home smoke-free. Everyone should be able to breathe smoke-free air where they work and live!
Tobacco-free Parks:
The tobacco-free parks project began in 2001 as a joint effort between local communities and Snohomish Health District. Fourteen communities in Snohomish County, as well as Snohomish County Parks and Recreation have adopted resolutions declaring their park facilities to be "tobacco-free for our kids." The campaign educates community members about the harmful effects of secondhand tobacco smoke and provides a healthier outdoor environment. When kids see a park free of tobacco use, they are more likely to recognize this as the norm.
For further information about how to implement tobacco-free parks in your community, call 425.339.5279 or send an e-mail to
Policy Education:
Our goal is to create public policy change in order to reduce and/or eliminate exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. The Tobacco Prevention and Control Program educates policy makers and elected officials about the science behind secondhand tobacco smoke.
No Items To Show...
A past campaign for veterinarians and pet groomers provided information about the dangers of secondhand tobacco smoke to pets as well as people.

How can I partner with the SHD Tobacco Prevention Program?
Community Collaboration, Mobilization and Engagement
In Snohomish County, the Health District works with many medical providers, social service agencies and education partners to focus on priority populations such as people living in poverty, minority groups, people with mental health or chemical dependency issues, and others with known rates of high tobacco use (compared to the general population).
The goal is to ensure that providers, particularly those working with these priority populations, have the tools and capacity to best help those clients or patients ready to quit tobacco. We work to raise awareness of local tobacco prevention and cessation efforts and to build sustainable change at the local level. This is done by providing outreach and training to community leaders and policy-makers, promoting technical assistance and information regarding best practices and policy change to community organizations and businesses, and providing educational information to the public via local news sources and on this website. We promote public discussion among partners, decision makers, and stakeholders about tobacco-related health outcomes and the burden of resulting chronic disease on our community. The Tobacco Prevention and Control Program welcomes the input and involvement of community members and organizations.
Trained adult volunteers are needed to assist with educating retailers about tobacco sales laws to minors. Teams of volunteers may focus on one or more communities providing resource packets to businesses licensed to sell tobacco products. Having friendly community volunteers stop by with information reminding businesses about minor sales laws is one effective strategy in helping to reduce access of tobacco to children under 18 years old.

Daya Satakam Lecture Series 2012

Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai
Daya Satakam is a religious hymn collection composed by Vedanta Desika in praise of the Lord's Daya (mercy, grace, sympathy and compassion).
I have faith in my country, and especially in the youth of my country. My hope is in you. With an immense amount of feeling and enthusiasm in the blood, will come heroes who will march from one corner of the earth to the other, preaching and teaching the eternal spiritual truths of our forefathers. And this is the great work before you. Each one of you has a glorious future if you dare believe me. Have tremendous faith in yourselves, like the faith I had when I was a child, and which I am working out now. Have that faith, each one of you, in yourself — that eternal power is lodged in every soul — and you will revive the whole of India. Ay, we will then go to every country under the sun, and our ideas will before long be a component of the many forces that are working to make up every nation in the world. We must enter into the life of every race in India and abroad; we shall have to work to bring this about.We must go out, we must conquer the world through our spirituality and philosophy. There is no other alternative, we must do it or die. The only condition of national life, of awakened and vigorous national life, is the conquest of the world by Indian thought.
Now for that, I want young men. "It is the young, the strong, and healthy, of sharp intellect that will reach the Lord", say the Vedas. This is the time to decide your future — while you possess the energy of youth, not when you are worn out and jaded, but in the freshness and vigour of youth. Work — this is the time; for the freshest, the untouched, and unsmelled flowers alone are to be laid at the feet of the Lord, and such He receives. Rouse yourselves, therefore, for life is short. A far greater work is this sacrifice of yourselves for the benefit of your race, for the welfare of humanity. I will tell you in plain language that you work best when you work for others. The best work that you ever did for yourselves was when you worked for others. This life is short, vanities of the world are transient, but they alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive. Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvelous work. The moment you fear, you are nobody. It is fear that is the great cause of misery in the world. It is fear that is the greatest of all superstitions. It is fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is fearlessness that brings heaven even in a moment. All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; Stand up and express the divinity within you. Therefore, "Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached."

As part of 150th Birth Anniversary Celebrations of Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai has launched "Experience Vivekananda" Project, an initiative to spread Swami Vivekananda's personality and message through state-of-the-art multimedia galleries at Vivekananda House utilizing short inspirational videos, 3D animated movie clips and a Holographic presentation. There would be five facets to this experience. They are:
1. Indian Culture in the Eyes of Vivekananda : Art Gallery
The present Art Gallery at Vivekananda Illam has exquisite paintings by eminent artists to chronologically depict India's grand traditions from Vedic to the present times. The proposed plan is to enhance the Art Gallery by introducing fiberglass models and dioramas illustrating turning points of our cultural heritage.
2. Making of Vivekananda : Multimedia Gallery
This section would present how the traditions of India that consummated in Sri Ramakrishna got transmitted to young Narendranath and transformed him into Swami Vivekananda.
3. Vivekananda, the Man and His Message : Multimedia Gallery
The existing photo gallery at Illam presents all the known photographs of Swami Vivekananda supported with information from relevant portions of his life. The proposed plan is to enhance the gallery by introducing LCD displays with color photographs of Swamiji. Short inspirational video clips on Swami Vivekananda are designed to reach out to the present day youth. Special attraction is the 3D animated short films and holographic presentation that will give visitors a realistic experience of Swami Vivekananda.
4. Vivekananda, the World Mover : Multimedia Gallery
This new section presents the impact of Swami Vivekananda's thoughts on national and international leaders.
5. Vivekananda's room : Meditation Room
The room where Swami Vivekananda stayed during those nine days in Chennai is a great experience by itself. This room needs to be maintained so as to preserve the sanctity for the generations to come.
Please join us in offering tributes to the Prophet of modern India and the modern World. Your contributions can be made online here http://www.chennaimath.org/istore/category/donations/
National Youth Day Competitions are conducted by Math every year to carry the message of Swami Vivekananda to the youth of the nation. Students from VI to XII Stds as well as from colleges participate in large numbers.
This year to commensurate with 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, the competition is based on 150 inspiring quotations of Swami Vivekananda covering various topics such as education, patriotism, personality development, etc.
The response from schools cutting across religious and social barriers especially from Panchayat and Government schools is remarkable.
The books play an unlimited role in bringing the youth in a disciplined manner. The need of the hour today is to give guidance and good books to the youth in order to improve their life style.
The lectures and writings of Swami Vivekananda made a great impact by producing successful and renowned people. Based on his ideas Monks and scholars have written many books in English and Tamil. It is your duty to see that these best books are available for the students and the youth. For that we have formulated a scheme called EVERYWHERE VIVEKANANDA.
We have selected 100 books each in Tamil and English from 900 titles published by Sri Ramakrishna Math so far and introduced a "New Pack". This pack contains books on Self improvement, self confidence, concentration, memory power, yoga, meditation and also Sri Ramakrishna and Sarada Devi's life history and teachings.
Price details of the packs are given below:
TAMIL Rs. 6000/- Rs.4500/-
ENGLISH Rs.7250/- Rs.5500/-
We would request you to take part in the Holy service by buying the New Pack and distributing the same as gift to thousands of schools, colleges and Libraries. The books are packed in a compact packing and sent to you by Roadways. We can also send the books directly to the Library/School/College of your choice.
We will take up an oath to see that the books of Swami Vivekananda are available in all the schools, Colleges and Libraries before 12thJanuary 2014, the birthday celebration of Swami Vivekananda. We should realize that our country as well as individual's growth is based on our assimilation of Swami Vivekananda's message.
Those who would like to participate in this scheme, can submit their request here.

I thought I would post this here because I will be using my computer mostly for playing games.
I decided I need a computer of my own this week so I did a little research and bought this:
I bought it with the intention of upgrading the graphics card to this:
Now I just realized that it requires a 450W power source. I believe the PC I got is only 300W, although I can't find the information anywhere. So here are the questions:
1. Is there an easy way to check how many W's my power supply is?
2. How easy would it be to swap out my power supply for a new one? like this one:
3. With the cost of the new graphics card and power supply would it be cheaper to return the PC and build one from scratch? I don't want to spend more then $1000 for PC and monitor.
I really don't need a top end PC. The games I want to play are Civilization 4 (on max settings) and Supreme Comander (on low - mid settings). All the other games I play are older and should not be a problem for and new PC to run.

All right, let's try another tack.
"Cost to guarantee croaking": how many pop points do I need to spend to guarantee that I can kill a Diwigible? I'll be using the 41Cost Orc Archer (9Hits, 18Attack, 0Defense, 1Move).
I need 200Attack to guarantee a Diwigible croak (as the minimum roll is 50%). For 200 Attack I need 11 Orc Archers (and a little bit more), but already I need to invest 451 pop points. This is significant.
So a proposed way to a solution may be to make it so that the cost to guarantee a unit's croaking* must not exceed the cost of the unit itself.
*: fudge factors: croakable by what? Does it have to be guarantee, or can it be some other odds like 95% chance?

What you should be comparing is the 7*Orc Archer + 126HP Carrier stack, versus the best flying ranged stack you can build if limited to units with 30HP.
Why? Why limited to 30HP?
And I kinda thought the comparison is fair- ground units, vs. ground units that use the Diwigible hack to move faster. Plus, if "ground units will always be more efficient" then what's the problem? In any case, it's always worthwhile to compare air and ground stacks, to see what the extent of the imbaness is.
Will look over your numbers now.

Solar wafer production of SolarWorld
Learn about how our Freiberg facility produces wafers from silicon in the video.
More information on following websites:
SolarWorld Industries Sachsen GmbH
SolarWorld Americas
Solar wafer
The main product for solar cells
In the second production step, highly pure silicon is melted into blocks at 1,410 degrees Celsius and it then hardens. These blocks are then formed into square columns. These columns are cut into extremely thin slices, or wafers, using state-of-the-art wire-cutting technology. After cleaning and thorough final testing, the monocrystalline and polycrystalline wafers form the basis for the production of solar cells.
The SolarWorld subsidiary, Deutsche Solar GmbH, produces solar wafers at the Freiberg site. This facility is one of the largest manufacturers of polycrystalline solar silicon wafers. The Solsix brand wafers produced in Freiberg are not just further processed to solar cells within the SolarWorld group, but also by numerous external solar cell manufacturers worldwide.
Wafers are also produced at our production site in Hillsboro in the USA. The focus at this facility, however, is solely on monocrystalline technologies. The expertise utilized here forms the basis for the leading technological role of SolarWorld in the USA.
The highly pure silicon is poured into a coated mold made of highly pure quartz material and melted at temperatures of more than 1,400 degrees Celsius. Only a single crystal is pulled from the melted silicon mass during the production of monocrystalline wafers. In the production of polycrystalline wafers, the liquid silicon mass hardens and thousands of small crystallines are formed into a block. The blocks created this way are then cut into square columns in the next step.

Wireless Helps Teachers Learn and Stay Connected
Through decades of research, the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF) has documented the importance of collaboration in enabling teachers to improve their practice. Often, however, the norm for teachers in the United States is to work in isolation, cut off from colleagues and from technology that can help them access resources and expertise. This isolation is especially detrimental for new teachers, who are at the highest risk for leaving the profession.

urgent care...i have excruciating back pain...possible kidney stones...they are checking...have been in a lot of pain...they get to send my pee away to check and see if it's something bigger like a tumor...
I was sad today...and i think God must think I'm pretty tough...because he won't give us more than we can handle....so I feel honored He thinks I can handle all this...
Remember, the most beautiful flowers grow out of manure (poop)...ha ha ha ha!
I gotta go, I'm burning up and my back is killing me....
typed very slowly...ha ha ha...huge love and pain free backs.....your kandee

Ouchie! I had surgery a year ago to have a stone the size of my entire right kidney taken out. Let me tell you, from the time it was diagnosed in Sept '08 till they did the surgery in Jan '09 I was in a LOT of pain. Aleve was the only thing that kept me from trying to remove my kidney by myself in the process. Good luck and lots of positive energy being sent your way!

Just remember it's not God trying to hurt you its the devil. Someone that loves you wouldn't hurt you.
Don't let any stupid people tell you it's God trying to teach you something either, the devil likes it when people blame God for something he's done.
The greatest con the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Don't forget that.
You're in my prayers :D

Cranberry juice and water followed by more cranberry juice. Repeat step one but don't drown yourself. It won't fix the court thing but it'll help the kidneys and the pain. Hope this helps.

Hi Kandee,
My dad tells me all the time:
"Every time you call and tell me how ur world is falling apart because of (xyz), you somehow find the strenth to get through it, even when you are TELLING me u can't do it. And look at you. Ur still here, talking about how much (xyz) sucked. But you had the strength all along". Yes, XYZ DOES suck! But you will make it out just fine, and be strong enough to deal w/ another XYZ! Oh goodie! I promise,things will be fine. Just ask my dad :-) Take care.

No matter what happens, everything will be okay.
I read the story Ian wrote. There's only 1 little hole that I can see, but it's not that big of a hole. Just wondering why your Mum left for LA without getting the child/ren(?) to the neighbor before leaving. That's it. Be prepared to answer that question. Forewarned is forearmed.
Kandee, the child protection folks have much bigger fish to fry than you. They're dealing with horrific abusive situations and just want to make sure your kids are ok. It seems to me that both you and child services have the same objective - to keep your kids safe. Even the policeman was looking out for your child's best interests, even if he was a little short sighted. Don't make anyone into the bad guy, especially if they are involved in law. Just provide the facts and let them be self-evident.
So take a deep breath, hold it in the lower belly, let if swirl around in there for a second, then breath out up through your spine and out the top of your head.
Do not let the word 'authorities' bother you. You're the Mum which is just as authoritive. You just have to line up your ducks about the course of events and explain it and provide evidence to prove what you say is the truth.
You have many positive resources and character references available. Use them. Get statements in writing (or better in person at the court) from the children's teachers, or people who have daily experience with you and the children together who are not related to you, the neighbor, a babysitter etc, and the phone bill to prove you made the calls to ensure your children were safe.
This is not about emotions or love, it's about the law and evidence. It sounds like you can prove that you did all you could do to ensure the children's safety while you were away, and that your daily life with them is healthy which can be proved with the help of the school.
Again, everything will be ok. The stress of the situation is probably the cause of your back pain. If you can afford it, please go get a massage. If you can't afford it, explain it to the therapist, and catch up with the bill later. Your health is most important. You can't take care of anyone without it.
Do the breathing thing again. Yoga stretches if you can. Everything WILL be okay Kandee. It might suck for a little while with paperwork and procedures, but it will be ok.
Feel free to contact me via my YouTube channel - 'Exploreall' or my paranormal research channel - 'Spookypalooza' - and I'll get right back to you.

AW KANDEE!!!! I hope you feel so much better!!! and while you just MIGHT be in bed while reading your comments...i just want you to know that I am saying a prayer for you right now...just wait for a minute.
Ok, I prayed for you that God will continue to use you for the beautiful, positive, flowery role model that you are. :) You are right, God doesn't give us more than we can handle. And you are a tough cookie!!!!! You mean so much to me and I feel like you are the big sister I never had!!! Don't give up! Don't forget Job and the struggles that he went through. God is using you for so much good in this life and this blog is only one way to prove it. I love you Kandee. God bless you. :)

at first i felt sympothy but things just seem to keep coming
now in addition to child endangerment criminal charges, now Kandee has new charges towards her of Truency. She allegedly let her child flunk out of school.
The schools had to show proof of this to have the charges layed so I am just baffled.

Kandee, you might have kidney infection. Is the pain on the lower part of your back? This may be it. You need to drink lots of water, so that your kidneys can purify themselfs, and your body too! But it has to be pure water, not vitamin water or soda(although I love vitamin water =D ). You could see a doc and about it...
Best of luck and get well!

Hi Kandee, my daughter has been getting this for a while now. For her it is a kidney infection, cleared up with cipro antibiotic. She gets fever, terrible back pains, etc. Woman, you have to stop to take time to pee!! That's part of my daughter's issue. She's in high school with such a rushed schedule that she doesn't want to take the time to pee, so she holds it a long time and ends up with a urinary tract infection that spreads to the kidneys. Not something to mess with! Drink lots of sugar free cranberry juice, but get some antibiotics, and if necessary, there are some cranberry supplements you can take that help ward that stuff off, but you have to take a bunch of them.

@ Amanda - What a pathetic person you are if you have to stick your nose into other people's business! You certainly have issues if you find it necessary to make that many comments about something which is none of your business. You must be filled with so much bitterness about something in your own life that you have to try to hurt others as a way of expressing it!
@ hello - You just made a fool of yourself! Check your spelling! If you're still attending school I suggest you pay more attention in class!
Kandee - I hope your pain eases soon.

Hang in there, Love. I really and truly believe that when we're faced with challenges (that seem like they really may be more than we can bear) that God does allow us to go through it. He knows that we can handle it...and guess what? We survive it so that we can reach down and help someone come up out of the same situation. You're gonna be such a monumental help to someone who's gonna be in your same situation but that person may be considering suicide but because they have you as an example of someone who's "been through the fire" and came out in tact, maybe a little burned on the edges...but still okay.
You hang in there cause someone out there needs you to share your war story and your battle scars.

aaawww kandee!!
i wish we knew each other personally so that i could come on over and help you out with everything and support you and run errands and just help with everything.
this court thing is crazy. i read some news thingy from one of the links and i see what you mean about poop comments from people. me reading them = me getting ready to whoop and hand them their asses. what pathetic idiots. seriously do what the celebs do and act like the tabloids/press dont exist (unless they dont twist your words and actually do what reporters usED to do and investigate and research the case their writing about).
i really do wish i could just drive over and help with everything.
stay brave and keep fighting
(also you really should read what kirsten wrote - sounds like good advice).. i wish i was a lawyer - i would come to your rescue

Kandee, you are in my thoughts and I am sending you love and strength. I wish you could go see my mom in L.A. She is a healer and I know you two would hit it off. She's from Japan, a place where it's not weird to believe in a higher power or spirits or energies. I will let her know about you and how you are doing. She's a mom to everyone she meets, even older people! I know she could be of some help to you. I just want to let you know, I support you and I'm sorry you're in pain and feel as though you're being tested. You are strong and you can live through this and come out of it better that you were before. Please believe in yourself as I believe in you and as do so many others.

Kandee, I hope you do feel better, I've passed a couple of kidney stones, my 1st one at work, and they wouldn't let me get off and get some help and I went into shock, the 2nd took me a year to pass, i was sick all year in 2007 cuz i caused me to have an infection in my urinary tract, but had no idea what it was until it passed, and i was amazed that I didn't hurt when i passed it.
Sending prayers for you, God will be there with you all the way!!! God Bless, Love Ya!!!

Kandee why did you delete my posts? You're not hiding anything are you???
I was just being honest.
We do not know you.
Things we do know for sure
1. You are good at makeup
2. You probably would have been a good actress
3. You are fun to watch
4. Your child was left alone for an undetermined amount of time and started a fire
5. You were unreachable via cellphone while your child was alone and you were in a diff state
6. The police officeer deemed your home to be dirty
7. You now have new charges of Truency to accompony the child endagerment charges
8. You only have custody of one of your 3 children
Are you guilty of the criminal charges against you????
I have no idea the judge will decide that in a few weeks but the above points are solid facts :)
Im sorry you feel the need to delete facts Kandee. That is not a good sign :(

"Hello" (you don't even have the courage to have a name) Thanks for the recap of the allegations Kandee is being charged with. Although you have enough smarts to say that it is for the judge to decide, your motivations clearly come for a place of spite and jealousy. Keep drinking your haterade!!
Kandee, looks like you have made some mistakes but so has every single person on this planet. Oh, but our "Hello" friend is actually the only person who hasn't I guess. Keep your head up, learn and improve from your ordeal. Lots of love and light!
- February 4, 2010 at 8:27 PM
- Amber said...
Um "Hello" I think that your mom must have forgot to teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.
wow what a coward bully taking cheap shots and trying to kick someone while they're down.
Everyone leaving comments is leaving thoughts of encouragement and if Kandee wants to delete your comment that's her right. This is her blog after all.

You know, I spoke to my lawyer friend and he said this was one of the stupidest things he's ever heard. What parent doesn't carry hairspray and a lighter? And he told me that you shouldn't worry and if you have ANY other legal questions, you're free to ask. =)
And also, he said you are allowed a lawyer, and if you can't afford one, they SHOULD give you one...unless its a family practice law (I can't remember specifically) then you just need a defender. I can't remember, it was sooo much lawyer lingo, I got confused. But let me know if you have any other questions and I'll relay it to him. I think his office is in LA.

Also, to "Hello"....What single mom with 3 kids who doesn't have a nanny or a maid and has a full time job have a near perfect home?
Maybe in a "perfect" world...but there is no such thing.

- AmberIsland said...
Kandee, We have a lot in common. I am a Mother of 3 children and also had a run-in with Child Protective Services which ended in me losing my children for a couple months because I hadn't the money to get a lawyer to represent me. It took 3 months for these accusations to be finally proven wrong and for me to get my children back home!!! (The legal system is so tortuously slow) After they got home they were in dire need of counseling and so afraid of leaving me for even 5 minutes. About 6 months later I started getting horrible pains in my side and I kind of shrugged them off until I was absolutely debilitated one day. These pains lasted for 4 days, then I couldn't stand anymore so I went to the hospital - turns out I have a Gall stone the size of a $2 coin (Canadian) stuck in the tube exiting my Gall Bladder. Well, then they insert a tube and bag into my Gall Bladder (without anesthetic and awake) which I had to wear for 2 months while my huge and inflamed Gall Bladder has time to settle. I finally just got it removed a couple months ago & I feel SO much better !!! It's strange how 2 people who have never met can live their lives and go through almost identical trials. You WILL come out of this life-speed bump a better woman. Love, Amber.

Dear Supporters.
Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of Maine voters stood for equality, but in the end, it wasn't enough.
I am proud of the thousands of Mainers who knocked on doors, made phone calls and talked to their family, friends and neighbors about the basic premise of treating all Maine families equally.
And I'm proud of this campaign because the stories we told and the images we shared were of real Mainers -- parents who stood up for their children, and couples who simply wanted to marry the person they love.
We're in this for the long haul. For next week, and next month, and next year-- until all Maine families are treated equally. Because in the end, this has always been about love and family and that will always be something worth fighting for.
Thank you. Thank you for everything you did. Thank you for digging deep and giving one more dollar to run our TV ads, for making those phone calls for one more hour. This campaign was, from the beginning, powered by people like you who rolled up their sleeves and did the hard work of change.
Stay the course.

The event, held just before the UK Budget for 2013, aimed to identify the gaps in public finance data and in political understanding and making recommendations for improvement. The questions asked included: 'Are parliamentarians and their constituents, let alone media and think-tank commentators sufficiently literate to make sense of the numbers? If not, how can this be addressed?'
Paul Moxey, head of corporate sector and risk at ACCA, attended the event and spoke there about the need for transparency. He explained: 'Fiscal transparency has become a philosophy of governments seeking to improve both finances and their own popularity. The drive for transparency has inspired governments to publish spending data, whole-of-government accounts, and a wide variety of other documents. This can only be a good thing.'
However Mr Moxey added that there can sometimes be a gap in understanding of what is produced and why, explaining: 'As an accountant, I am often asked if there can be true accountability if numbers are not properly understood? My answer is no; but then governments have a tough job to do in communicating complex information to many audiences, from civil servants to journalists and to the interested public.
'An example is the UK's whole of government accounts, which consolidates the audited accounts of over 1,500 organisations across the whole public sector, so it is bound to be complicated; running to 243 pages it is still clear; but then I'm an accountant and am used to looking for the key issues.'
Paul Moxey also points to the need for trust and accountability, especially in the parliamentary system, highlighting the work of the Parliamentary Select Committees which have proved to be an important means for holding governments to account.
ACCA has highlighted in the past that training and development is key to understanding government finances. In ACCA's recent report, Setting high professional standards for public services around the world, ACCA highlighted the need for fiscal transparency as being important for the benefit of the public.
Mr Moxey added: 'For the public to hold public services to account, information needs to be understandable, accessible, clear and timely. Therefore, ACCA is supportive of the definitions set out by the Centre of Public Scrutiny (UK) for promoting transparency, accountability and inclusiveness of information in public services. And for MPs, training and induction is also important when it comes to understanding public finances.'
Mr Moxey concluded: 'This was a timely and relevant event which showed that there is a need generally for more financial awareness among MPs, journalists and the public.'

So far so good -
Ari, Las Vegas, NV
A few of the balloons where broken and they don't have the same shape when you put the air. The shape is like a pear.
Great Product! -
OhWetFun, Ames, IA
I use these balloons for a water balloon game. Out of about 6 bags this past event, only a few total balloons had holes, compared to many per bag from other brands. Great product!

Early College High Schools (ECHS) are innovative high schools located on or in close proximity to a college campus that allow students least likely to attend college an opportunity to earn a high school diploma and 60 college credit hours. Early College High Schools:
Under the authority of Texas Education Code (TEC) §29.908(b) and Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §102.1091, the TEA has developed a designation process for Early College High Schools. The designation process ensures that districts and colleges operating ECHS campuses maintain the integrity of the model, which was researched and designed to target and serve students who would not otherwise consider attending college.
The designation process, which has historically occurred in the spring, will be moved to fall in 2014. This new timeline will facilitate a more coherent student recruitment and enrollment process. In addition, the change in the timeline will enable the TEA to finalize plans to refine and update the designation process, including completion of an online application. This work will strengthen ECHS programs moving forward.
Information about the Early College High School Designation for the 2014-2015 school year is provided in the To the Administrator Addressed letter
