Child-hood memories both good and bad!

Childhood Memories
Date: 06/08/11, updated on 07/08/11 (188 review reads)
Advantages: Hear about my life
Disadvantages: you may not want to hear about my child-hood!
As I child I remember both good and bad memories, unfortunately some bad things we don't tend to forget and are scarred by them for the rest of our lives. On the other hand we will all have some good memories that will bring a smile to our faces when we think of them. I'm going to start with a few of my favourite memories.
I shared a room with my sister and we were always very close to each other. She's only 2 years older than me and we had the same interests so were always playing together and doing other things together. We had so much Barbie stuff it was unbelievable, every Sunday we used to get it all downstairs and take it in turns to choice various Barbie furniture and clothing for our dolls. We then used to each pick a part of the room and set up a little house/room for our Barbie dolls. We would play together for ages and if we weren't doing that we were playing board games together. We used to go on bike ride's together and my dad used to take us to the woods for a walk where would often collect conkers and fir cones.
I used to love these as a child. My dad used to take us on bike ride's up to the local shops where they had an old fashioned sweet shop (I'm talking about penny sweet's in jars). We would always get treated to a small bag of sweets or an ice cream. We also spent a lot of time with my granddad, who would always play games with us or help us colour in pictures. I remember one time we all went for a walk in the woods and my granddad got us lost and we have to climb down a big hill, which was covered in leaves and twigs, we all found that quite funny. We used to spend a lot of time at my Nan and Grandad's house, especially on a Sunday where we would go round for tea until late in the evening. In their spare room they used to have a wardrobe with lots of toys and games in and we were always allowed to choose something to play with. My favourite thing used to be called Fuzzy Felt and me and my sister used to play with it for hours. My auntie and Uncle used to live in quite a big house and often we would go over there to see them. I remember one night they had a bonfire and fireworks and we ate some lovely food and were allowed to play in the garden until late as it was still light at 9pm. They used to have these ride on toys there which I loved including a little milk float, police car and a little tractor with a trailer. In their attic they used to have lots more toys and when we went over there my cousin used to take us up there to have a look and play with a few of the toys, until it was time to go home.
Unfortunately I don't really have many happy memories of my big brother who is 5 years older than me. He was never very nice to me or my sister and always seems to be a problem child. He used to punch us quite a lot and hurt us. In fact it got so bad that we used to have to go and see a lady from social services every single week which I hated. I can't remember everything as I was very small but I remember the lady from social services very well including her name. I also remember having my toe broken by my brother and when my sister was running away from him, her slipping and hitting her head on the metal door frame. It wasn't just me and my sister he was horrible to, it was my mum as well, she got to see what a problem child he was when he tried to push her down the stairs! My dad used to work a lot as my parents were in debt so he was never around to help my mum and I think that's why my mum rang social services for help.
I remember when I was at first school being taken out early. My aunt came to pick me up and took me home; my sister was there with my brother. My dad had, had an accident at work and was in hospital. It turned out that the boiler where he worked blew up and his clothes caught on fire and he was badly burnt. I remember when he came home, he was covered in bandages and was very red and looked sore. I always remember the day he came home but don't remember anymore after that. When I was at first school, at one point I was very poorly. I came home from school and my mum had cooked my favourite dinner (sausage casserole). I ate it but shortly after was sick and felt very ill. My legs looked a funny colour as if they were covered from top to bottom in purple bruises. I remember being taken to the doctor's where I was sick again and then being taken up to hospital. I remember feeling very tired and ill and them taking blood from me. I was put in a room on my own where my mum could stay with me for the night. I remember waking up and them taking some more blood from me in the early hours of the morning. I caught a very bad virus (I can't even spell it) and they hadn't seen anyone with it before. I remember various doctors coming to look at me, even student doctors in groups as well. I was in hospital for a few weeks before I was allowed home again. I got some lovely cards & presents from the neighbour's friends and from the school too.
So there you go, some happy and some bad memories. Not everyone has the perfect life and we always go through bad experiences, but it's those experiences that make us stronger!
Thank you for reading and commenting on this review.
In answer to the questions which have been left for this review . . . I don't have anything to do with my brother since he was found guilty of a horrible crime and got sent to prison.

TWEAK Antibody detects recombinant and transfected levels of TWEAK protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding His110 of human Tweak protein. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
TWEAK (TNFSF12/Apo-3L) is a member of the TNF superfamily of cytokines that are typically involved in immune regulation, inflammation, and apoptosis (1,2). TWEAK mRNA is expressed in a variety of tissues and cell lines, with higher levels observed in the heart, brain, skeletal muscle and within the immune system (1). Like other family members TWEAK is a type II transmembrane protein that can also be proteolytically processed to form a soluble cytokine. Soluble TWEAK is a weak inducer of apoptosis in some cell lines (1). The receptor for TWEAK, known as TWEAKR or fibroblast growth factor inducible 14 (Fn14), is a relatively small member of the TNF receptor family (3). TWEAK signaling has been associated with apoptosis, proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and inflammation (4). Recent studies have suggested some therapeutic potential of TWEAK and its receptor signaling in regards to autoimmunity, cancer, and vascular injury (5-8).

America's Most Wanted: Power Ranking the Top 10 Problem Child Programs in CFB
By Sean Zerillo ,
College football is a business. But since it is also a sport, it is a business where winning means everything, since wins eventually translate to dollars.
With over 100 schools competing for the 10 spots in BCS bowl games, and the millions of dollars in revenue that they generate, corruption runs deep in the blood of college football.
Among violations schools have committed:
-Ignoring crimes by players
-Paying off recruits or coaches of recruits to influence decision of college choice
-Recruiting student-athletes with severely questionable character (players that wouldn't get into the school if they were a normal student) because they are talented football players
-Paying players for good on-field performance
-Illegal benefits and gifts provided to players
And all that's just scratching the surface.
The dynamics of college football change yearly as new sets of players move into the national spotlight. Some teams have a tradition of winning. Others have a tradition of getting into trouble.
A few fall into both categories, because once you start winning, its hard not to lie, cheat and steal to get yourself back to the top when times are tough.
What follows is a list of the 10 college football programs that have been in the spotlight the most for their transgressions—both on and off the field.
Is it Butch Davis's fault that his players were idiots?
The North Carolina Tar Heels defense was supposed to be among the best in the country in 2010. Heading into the season, they featured five potential first-round NFL draft picks on defense.
An NCAA investigation was launched at the beginning of the season which alleged illegal ties between Tar Heel players and NFL agents. North Carolina was forced to suspend 12 players, including six starters, for their opening game against LSU.
Among the players was Marvin Austin, a defensive tackle who may still be a high pick, who received illegal benefits totaling between $13,000 and $15,000 from agents while attending a party in Miami.
His teammates, wide receiver Greg Little and defensive end Robert Quinn, were also part of the group and received money, compensation for vacation travel and gifts like diamond earrings, among other things.
All three players were essentially kicked off the team, leading to UNC having a disappointing year in 2010. The university still doesn't plan on self-imposing sanctions since they say the players acted on their own merits and thus are responsible for their mistakes.
The NCAA investigation is still ongoing. We will soon see whether or not Butch Davis and his staff are hit with any severe penalties.
Tim Tebow is no longer around to clean up Florida's mess
From 2005 through September 2010, the Florida Gators had 31 players arrested. Although some were for relatively trivial things for which even the most common of college students face charges, at least a dozen were for felonies or violent misdemeanors.
Running back Chris Rainey became perhaps the most infamous among all the offenders after receiving a charge of aggravated stalking for texting an ex-girlfriend "Time to Die." Rainey was initially kicked off the team but was later reinstated.
Lineman Ronnie Wilson was also allowed back at Florida following a 2007 incident, where, following a dispute at a nightclub with a local man, he pulled an AK-47 out of his truck and threateningly fired it in the air. He was given two years probation.
Wilson was arrested again for possession of marijuana. He was eventually reinstated but never played. Wilson was arrested for a third time, this time for assault and battery, after striking two people at a party. Finally, he was kicked off the team for good.
The Gators do not have a history of accusations of corruption or serious NCAA sanctions. But their recent arrest tally is horrifying. Had Urban Meyer never been graced with the PR angel that Tim Tebow seemingly is, it's likely that his career at Florida wouldn't have lasted very long.
Thirty-one arrests in five years is embarrassing. And a fireable offense by itself. With Meyer gone, Will Muschamp needs to make sure things don't spiral out of control in Gator country.
Due to their recent record, The Gators are currently one of the most troublesome programs in college football.
Will Matt Barkley play in another bowl at USC?
Citing lack of institutional control, the NCAA hit the University of Southern California with a two-year postseason ban, a loss of 10 scholarships per year over three years and a vacating of all wins from their 2005 season when they lost to Vince Young and Texas in the national title game.
Reggie Bush had apparently, while a sophomore, taken payment in a verbal agreement to sign with a certain agent upon entering the NFL draft. Bush eventually signed elsewhere, and his story was outed.
USC was punished, and Reggie Bush was basically forced into returning his Heisman Trophy. The Trojans, however, did not have to forfeit their 2004 national championship.
At the end of last season, Pete Carroll obviously knew what was about to go down and fled for the Seattle Seahawks. Some may say it's unfair that his successor, Lane Kiffin, had to be hit with the sanctions Carroll had "earned" during his time at USC.
Tennesee fans, who saw Kiffin use the Volunteers to find greener pastures and eventually flee after one season in Knoxville, would call it karma. Lane Kiffin represents everything that is wrong with college sports. During his time at Tennessee, he lied to potential recruits about long-term stability and his intention to stay with the program.
There's nothing in the rules, however, that prevents a coach from leaving and accepting another job whenever he so desires. Despite the fact that he was under contract with the Volunteers, Kiffin was allowed to sign a new deal with the Trojans.
The real loser in this situation is Matt Barkley, USC's prized rising junior quarterback. Should he choose to leave after this season, Barkley will have never have had the legitimate chance to compete for a national title. The same thing goes for the current seniors on the team.
Mark Richt has to be wondering why his players can't stay out of trouble
Over the past few seasons, few teams have been in the news for arrests as often as the Georgia Bulldogs.
The most alarming part is that most of the charges have been directly related to alcohol. In 2008, Georgia players famously celebrated their No. 1 preseason ranking by getting into a fight at a bar. Two players had to be treated for injuries stemming from thrown beer bottles, while two others were arrested for public intoxication.
In the past three years, there have been at least eight DUI's, the most notable of which came from former Georgia Athletic Director Damon Evans, whose job title wasn't able to save him from spending a night in jail (despite his best efforts) and eventually getting canned.
Running back Washaun Ealey was among 11 Bulldogs arrested in 2010 alone. The sophomore tailback committed a misdemeanor hit-and-run and was driving with a suspended license.
With a declining win/loss record and increasing arrest statistics, Mark Richt's job is in serious jeopardy at Georgia. He was able to pull in a top-five recruiting class for 2011, but his efforts need to pay off elsewhere, especially with wins.
Richt also needs to do a better job of keeping his players in line. Otherwise, his control of the locker room and the security of his job may both be in doubt.
Nick Saban has done a tremendous job restoring Alabama's tradition
Alabama doesn't just spend the most money on its college football program of any school in the country (an astounding $31.8 million). They have also had their share of scandals regarding illegal spending by boosters on potential recruits.
During the 2000 season, Logan Young, a former Alabama booster, paid high school coach Lynn Lang $150,000 to encourage his star defensive lineman Albert Means to sign with Alabama. The scandal was outed by Lang's assistant at Trezevant High School, and in 2002, Alabama received five years probation, a two-year bowl ban and reduced scholarships to 21 per year over three years.
Young was sentenced to six months in prison for racketeering and had his entire relationship with the University of Alabama dissolved. He was eventually killed in his home in 2006 in what was originally thought to be a homicide but was later ruled an accident.
Alabama is currently on probation following a 2009 investigation that discovered student-athletes, including seven football players, had been charging textbooks and other expenses for their friends and girlfriends to the school.
The program was stripped of all wins from 2005-2006 and five wins from Nick Saban's first year in 2007.
Since Saban has arrived, there has been little negative attention around the Alabama football program, with the exception of a few rogue personalities.
Despite the issues early in his tenure, Saban has kept his players in check and has done a great job of turning around the storied program after their sketchy run in the early 2000s.
Still the only team in the history of college sports to receive the full "death penalty" from the NCAA, the Southern Methodist Mustangs of the 1970s and 1980s were about as corrupt as they came.
The program was slapped with probation five times between 1974 and 1985. The last, in 1985, stemmed from recruiting violations by boosters and assistant coaches.
Reports began circulating in 1986 that SMU had been paying recruits up to $25,000 in signing bonuses to attend the school. Tight end Albert Reese was found to be living rent-free in a Dallas apartment, with the payments being taken care of by a Mustangs booster.
Slush funds were also kept, and money was distributed to players for various expenses. Thirteen players were paid a total of $61,000 from 1985-1986 in amounts varying between $50 to $725 a month. The slush fund was kept by booster Sherwood Blount Jr., and the payments were made with full knowledge of the staff of the athletic department.
Since it was their second major violation in a three-year period, the NCAA decided to cancel SMU's entire 1987 schedule. They were also barred from playing home games in 1988, and their probation was extended until 1990.
They also faced a bowl and national television ban until 1989 and lost 55 scholarships over a four-year period. All previous boosters were forced to end their relationship with the school. Since recruiting became so difficult, the football team's situation soon became destitute.
Since 1989, the Mustangs are 66-169-3. They have only recently made it back to relevance under former Hawaii coach June Jones, who has gone 1-1 in bowl appearances in his three years in Dallas.
There is a wonderful 30 for 30 documentary about the SMU scandal titled Pony Excess.
Gary Barnett, the only person in America who thinks rape is no big deal
As the Buffaloes had the only female football player in the country on their team, news that there were major sex scandals involving University of Colorado football players was pretty disturbing for a nation to digest.
Kicker Katie Hnida alleged that she was sexually assaulted by teammates of hers at UC-Boulder, but her claims were dismissed by football coach Dan Hawkins.
Strippers were hired by the athletic department to entice recruits. Alcohol and drugs were offered at parties to make sure the players had a good time. These are the type of things the common man assumes happen behind the scenes on all recruiting visits.
But then women started coming forward claiming they had been raped by football players. Others were alleging they had been pimped out by the athletic department as a means of enticing recruits to play for the Buffaloes.
By February of 2004, there were six different rape cases pending against Colorado football players. By 2005, Barnett was forced to resign and took a nice $3 million buyout—not a bad bonus for ignoring wrongdoings by your players.
In June 2007, Colorado was hit with two years of probation and fined $100,000 for undercharging 133 student-athletes on meals (86 football players). They also lost one scholarship a year over a three-year period.
The rape charges were eventually dismissed in court, and the scandal went seemingly untouched by the NCAA.
On the field it was mostly smiles for Jimbo Fisher in 2010
Much like their in-state rivals the Miami Hurricanes, the Florida State Seminoles have a long history of success on the field and trouble off it.
Their more recent past is particularly troubled, however.
In 2007, the entire university was sanctioned by the NCAA following an elaborate cheating scandal involving 61 university athletes, including football players. Scholarships were reduced in 10 sports, the university was placed on probation for four years, and it was forced to vacate all wins in football (and other sports) from the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
The Seminoles also traditionally have one of the highest arrest records. Nigel Carr was the star in 2010, racking up three felonies and three misdemeanors—among them credit card theft, auto burglary and fraud.
Several of Florida State's receivers have been arrested on various charges in the past few years as well, leading to a never-ending rotation of new talent for Christian Ponder and EJ Manuel to throw to. Cameron Wade and Preston Parker, who was arrested three times and found in possession of a .45 caliber handgun, have been among the offenders.
Jimbo Fisher and Florida State pulled in a 2011 recruiting class that is considered to be among the best in the country. ESPN currently has it ranked as No. 1 overall. Nigel Carr and the other current troublemakers on the Seminoles were recruited by Bobby Bowden.
Now that Fisher is in charge, the content of the new Seminoles' character remains to be seen.
Fives years from now, will Auburn's national title and Newton's heisman stand?
These are the (alleged) facts:
Cecil Newton needed money to rebuild his church. He offered the services of his son, Cameron, a former Gator and then current national champion quarterback at Blinn Junior College, in exchange for payment—anywhere between $100,000 and $180,000.
It appeared as if Cecil was all set to accept an offer of $150,000 from Mississippi State. Cam then signed with Auburn. Next was the Heisman Trophy, then the BCS title game victory over Oregon. Cecil's church manged to get the money for its necessary renovations anyway.
The FBI is supposedly investigating and has made arrests in connection to Auburn booster Milton McGregor's alleged payment of $250,000 to Cam Newton's uncle. This money is believed to have been dispersed throughout the Newton family.
It looks like the Newtons got their payout-for-play after all.
In addition to the Cam Newton controversy, the Auburn Tigers have other sketchy tie-ins and going-ons. Over the last 10 years, at least five members of Auburn's board of trustees have also been members for Colonial BancGroup's board of directors. Colonial has serious ties with the university and its boosters and is a very powerful bank in the state of Alabama.
The connection to Colonial has (allegedly) allowed Auburn to launder players' money by providing them with unmarked debit cards, unnecessary loans and guaranteed winnings at rigged slot machines in Milton McGregor's casino.
Dirty doings indeed.
There's no way of knowing if anything is true right now, but if the FBI is investigating, eventually the truth will come out.
Both Cam Newton's Heisman and Auburn's national title are at stake.
The Miami Hurricanes teams of the 1980s forever changed college football. Their rough and tumble, in-your-face style exuded an ultimate form of confidence. This, which became known as swagger, helped take a troubled team from a small private school in South Florida from doormat to superpower seemingly overnight.
On their climb to the top, the Canes' players developed into a family and created a culture that became "The U Family" vs. the World. They believed in themselves and played for one another. The Hurricanes played with raw emotion and intensity and were encouraged by their coaches, particularly Jimmy Johnson, to be themselves at all times.
Problems arose, however, as players began to stretch the limits of what it meant to "be yourselves." Some seemed to take the advice to mean players were free to do whatever they wished—when they wished.
Throughout the late '80s, arrests began accumulating. Then there were accusations that Luther Campell (a.k.a. Uncle Luke of 2 Live Crew), a friend of the program, was organizing a pool that paid out to players for things like scoring touchdowns and recording sacks. Campbell has all but admitted he took a part in this.
There were rumors that bounties were placed on players from opposing teams. "Hit pools" were organized and money was collected from current and former players to be dished out to whoever laid the biggest hit in a given game. Former Hurricanes linebacker and head coach Randy Shannon is alleged to have held the money for the hit pool.
The Canes also became famous for their post-play celebration. However, following a 46-3 beatdown of Texas in the 1991 Cotton Bowl (where the Canes racked up over 200 yards worth of penalties), the "Miami Rules" were instituted, which essentially banned players from having fun while playing a game.
The program was hit with major sanctions in the mid 1990s. The NCAA forced the Canes to reduce football scholarships and sit out two bowl seasons after an employee in Miami's athletic department scammed the United State government by fraudulently filling out Pell Grant loan forms for players and taking a commission in the process.
There have been several shootings involving what were former and current Hurricane players. The most notable are the murder of Canes defensive tackle Bryan Pata and the murder/robbery of former Cane and Redskins safety Sean Taylor. Whether or not these incidences have anything to do with football, they cast a bad light because of the reputation that Miami has built over time.
The brawl with FIU in 2006 was a major black eye for the Hurricanes program. What was suppossed to be a friendly game between local teams turned ugly, leading to the suspension of 31 players (18 for FIU, 13 for Miami). President Donna Shalala looked on in horror as safety Anthony Reddick swung his helmet and current Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather attempted to stomp FIU players.
The brawl led to the firing of Larry Coker and the hiring of Randy Shannon, who proceeded to completely clean up the program. Since 2007, Miami has had only one player arrested. That dubious honor belongs to Robert Marve, who has since been kicked off the team and transferred to Purdue.
A negative reputation is hard to shed. The Miami Hurricanes have been, at the same time, good and bad for college football. Randy Shannon did a great job of cleaning up the program's image. Al Golden's mission is to continute instilling discipline both in the classroom and on the field.
But sometimes, it's cool to be bad. And the bad boy image is something that Miami's student body absolutely loves to embrace.
For now, they're still Thug U. As long as the players aren't getting arrested, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a respect thing. Because there is no badder team in the history of college football than the Canes.
They just need to get back to playing like it on the field.

Thomas Dekker -- who played John Connor in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" -- just got a deal he couldn't refuse in his DUI case.
Dekker just pled no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving in connection with an accident in which a 17-year-old bicyclist was injured. Dekker was arrested on two counts of felony DUI and placed on $100,000 bail. He was eventually charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI.
But apparently the case fell apart when prosecutors learned the bicyclist was at fault -- riding without reflectors the wrong way on a freeway on-ramp.
Dekker was placed on two years informal probation and agreed to take a 12-hour alcohol ed class and pay a $300 fine.
Dekker's lawyer, Blair Berk, could not be reached for comment.
"... the bicyclist was at fault -- riding without reflectors the wrong way on a freeway on-ramp."
Geez... Why not just WALK into traffic?
Of course these DUI idiots are going to hire that Yenta Blair Berk to get them off the hook. So what else is new?
Erin Andrews Video-VIRUS FREE!
The bike rider was at fault? Was Thomas drunk or not did the bike rider pour booze down his gut befor the cops arrived? This sounds stupid he got off because he is who he is. This is so los angles if it was anyone else the dui would have stuck.
It seems to me drunk drivers get off my daughter and 2 grands were hit by a 19 years drunk driver and we are the victims, the cop he was with try to cover it up when state trooper got there he said my daughter was not driving the car and the kids were not in the car we are going through hell because the cop is dating the lady whom house they were at with a 19 hear old drinking and the kids were really hurt he did go to jail got out and is still drinking just happen a few days ago, some people don't want to take responsibility for wrong doing
Why do all these child actors keep causing trouble?
I betcha the next idiot'll be Dakota Fanning.
Can't wait for the excitment to unfold. Stuckup self-righteous bitch.
I want "Terminator Sarah Connor Cronicles" to come back to tv or a straight to dvd movie. I wish Thomas the best and hopefully will get a Season 3 of TSCC.
This is why hollywood disgusts me. I'm so sick of celebs getting slaps on the wrist for a DUI. What if he killed the person on the bike? Regardless of what the bicyclist was doing, IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE DRUNK. So sad, the more money you have, the more laws you get to break.
Everyone is entitled to lapses in judgement. Everything I've seen or read about Thomas has made him seem like a decent person. He's young and he made a mistake. I'm certain that he's smart enough to learn from it and find a way to make up for it. Just because he's a celebrity doesn't mean we have to nail him to the wall.
He was lucky this time, he didn't kill anyone, and no matter how you want to blame him the biker who wasn't wearing reflective clothes, who was driving the wrong way up into oncoming traffic should also be given a warning! I'm sorry but cyclists cause far too many crashes these days by weaving into the wrong lane by moving too close too you so that you have to swerve to avoid them. Just over the Xmas period I was a passenger in a car where there were two cyclists in front, looked like father and son, it was pitch black and they were wearing BLACK with no reflectors. They were lucky the driver missed them as they moved in front of her because they were almost invisible until you were on top of them!!
No lights, nothing!!
I'm not saying this guy shouldn't have been charged with DWI if he was under the influence, but the reason his charges were reduced were strictly because of the cyclists own actions!! Let's hope this kid gets his act together now before he ends up both doing drugs and alcohol trying to escape the child star curse that seems to affect so many these days!!! It's not as if he's got off scot free and this charge will always be on his record hm?!

Keep WR Beautiful Partners with GMC to Fight Litter
Warner Robins community members take a stand against littering in this week's "Going Green, Saving Green. They're targeting cigarette butts, which happens to be a big issue nationwide.
Hundreds of cigarette butts were collected from the Warner Robins Georgia Military Campus.
"We didn't think we'd find that much," says GMC Student Alex Sampson.
All those butts where found on just one block.
Keep Warner Robins Beautiful Board member, Ben White, says "They might not normally throw a can or a bottle...cigarette butts just seem to be one of those things that you know that they don't consider to be litter."
White says it's a big problem, "cigarette butts are the #1 litter item in America."
To help curb the issue, students at GMC partnered with Keep Warner Robins beautiful and counted cigarette butts that were tossed aside on the ground.
Sampson says, "Sadly, maybe about 80 to 90 cigarette butts, which was really shocking for us because you normally don't think of that as being a big issue.
Through a grant Keep Warner Robins Beautiful handed out cigarette containers to local businesses.
White says, "They have to clean up the cigarette butts in front of their businesses. A lot of the businesses are aware of that being a major litter issue as well."
According to White, less trash means less money spent cleaning up the mess. He says after the receptacles were passed out there was a 14% decrease in the number of cigarette butts on the ground.
It's just one step toward preserving the community.
Sampson adds, "It also helps the whole City of Warner Robins to see that we care, and we're making a difference to make sure we do keep it nice."

Question: I have a property for sale in Queensland, and recently signed a contract with a fairly long sale period of 90 days, that was not set to become unconditional until 60 days in.
The contract explicitly states that the buyer was to pay a $20,000 deposit on acceptance. I had assumed the deposit had been paid, but actually found out about 10 days after signing that the buyer had not yet paid, claiming he had an agreement with the agent that it would be paid in the following days – more than two weeks after signing!
At this point I started to have second thoughts about the sale, partially because of the ill feelings I now have about both the agent and the buyer, and because I also now feel that maybe the price I had agreed to is too low.
With this in mind, I told my solicitor to let the buyer know that I was terminating the contract because he was in breach since he had not paid the deposit. But now, I have just been told by my solicitor that the buyer is threatening to sue for wrongful termination because of his supposed agreement with my agent. It is unclear whether my agent actually made such an agreement, but nonetheless the buyer is now threatening to put a caveat on my property to protect his rights.
I don't want to be bullied, and I really don't want to sell to this guy. So, I'm wondering, what are my rights in this situation? Does he have a case to put on a caveat? And worse, does he have a case in court?
Answer: The consequences of a vendor terminating the contract are quite serious and the facts need to be fully investigated before advice specific to your situation can be provided. The following is an outline of the general principles and should not be relied on without specific legal advice about your situation.
The general rule is that failure to pay the deposit is a fundamental breach of the contract entitling the vendor to terminate the contract. In that situation, the purchaser would not have any remedy against the vendor nor would it have the right to lodge a caveat against the title unless there was some variation of the usual contract which provided for the deposit to be paid at a later date (or not at all).
Where an agent has acted without the authority of the vendor and made an agreement with the purchaser for the deposit to be paid at a later time, it is unlikely that this could bind the vendor. The purchaser would probably have the right to sue the agent for damages.
However, in circumstances where the purchaser commences proceedings against the vendor it might be better to reach an agreement with the purchaser on commercial basis rather than get involved in a lengthy and costly legal battle where there can be no guarantee of the outcome.
In other words, in your particular situation if the buyer is now able to pay the full deposit and settle on the basis of the contract signed (in terms of settlement date and price) it may be wiser for you to complete that contract with the buyer than spend thousands of dollars fighting him in Court.

text: Hold off on tearing into the ceiling. Although it will probably have to be repaired eventually, and it is true that opening it up may provide visual location of the actual leak, start by investigating the shower. Remove the little chrome eschtcheon around the shower arm ,and look in there with a flashlight. Remove the trim plate from the shower valve, and look back there with a flashlight, and lastly, if the shower is turned on by pulling up a button on the tub spout, then remove the spout and see if ther is evidence of a leak on that connection, going back into the wall. It can have a leak which does not occur during a bath, but only during a shower when pressure is increased at that tub connection.

: MediaTakeOut.com learned that the Ohio police have arrested a 25 year old daycare worker named Heather Koon, 25. They say they found a video of her giving oral relations to a one year old boy.
Police learned of the abuse when they made a routine visit to Heather's boyfriend, James Osborne - a convicted sex offender. According to a police report, they searched his laptop and found a video file of Heather "engaging in sexual conduct with an unknown infant".
It turns out that boy was one of the children at Heather's daycare.
This is a VERY SICK WORLD that we live in.
First her name is " koon" -2 her man is a *** offender #3 the system should lock up these monsters for LIFE!! A pervert WILL NEVER CHANGE JUST BECOMES A LIL WISER ON HIDDING IT!! These kids& adults have to live the rest of their lives in fear & all kinds of mental anguish so these azzholes should be UNDER THE JAIL!!
Um o_O like really? Thats so disturbing. I knew it was white ppl smh where all the racist trolls now?? Yall "precious white women" are disgusting and foul. Black ppl may have our issues that we need to work on but most of us dont do sh it like this. *** near everytime you hear a story like this the ppl are white, but yet we are the ones being looked at as animals?? #stopit
Thus my reluctance to send my child to daycare. My baby is a year old. I would be on the front page of my local newspaper if this heffa did this to him. To those who think this is a good thing for this baby or he's somehow lucky, that is the furthest thing from the truth. He has been violated, plain and simple.
This happened here outside of Cleveland.
Sick that she would do this working for a daycare, while living/dating a level 2 predator. I have my baby in two weeks, and *** like this is y my son won't b entered into daycare no time soon. Just can't figure out how this went unnoticed at the center, unless she knew the family and baby sat 4 them.
that *** is sick.
but that aside, so i'm guessing what i'm supposed to take from these comments that next time i want to say something openly racist against black people i should just go ahead and get it off my chest, right? or is it only okay when black people are racist towards white people?
-Questioning Things!

Book Description:In Six Years Lucy R. Lippard documents the chaotic network of ideas that has been labeled conceptual art. The book is arranged as an annotated chronology into which is woven a rich collection of original documents—including texts by and taped discussions among and with the artists involved and by Lippard, who has also provided a new preface for this edition. The result is a book with the character of a lively contemporary forum that offers an invaluable record of the thinking of the artists—a historical survey and essential reference book for the period.

Serves six to eight.
Feel free to use large tomatoes cut into wedges rather than cherry tomatoes.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, immediately putting them onto a platter where their juices can collect. Scatter the mozzarella and the corn kernels over the tomatoes and sprinkle everything with the salt and pepper; top with the mint. Drizzle with the vinegar and then with the olive oil. Toss gently.

by 22Twain, 8/14/2013I have made this many times, and everyone loves the fresh flavors and different textures. I agree with the previous reviewer regarding the amount of oil. Just 1-2 Tbs drizzled over the salad makes it great. Using basil rather than mint is equally as good. Whenever we want a fresh, quick salad for unexpected guests this is our first choice.
by Amy, 8/4/2008I give the flavor 5 stars! I rate the recipe 4 stars because I think 1/2 cup of olive oil is way too much. I just drizzled a little over the salad before tossing.
by wheatprincess, 1/9/2008Great salad, great olive oil tasting menu. I went to the olive oil store and got the recommended kind of oil for each of the recipes. Guests could really taste the difference.

Age and Ageing Specialty Group Scope
The Age and Ageing Specialty Group's unique areas of research activity are:
Healthy ageing and frailty; organising and delivering interventions for health promotion; the ageing process and early markers of ill health; modelling links between disease and functioning; the effectiveness of clinical and social care, education and lifelong learning; and environmental conditions for ageing well.
In addition, the Age and Ageing group brings added value to studies led by other groups and networks in: dementia, stroke, heart failure and osteoporosis.
To ensure the inclusion of older people at the cutting edge of pharmaceutical and digital technology research.
Supporting statement
The group's statement of scope has been informed by the FUTURAGE Road Map for European Ageing Research, which was developed with the involvement of several members of the UK Age and Ageing Specialty group. It was launched in Brussels in October 2011 and is the product of the most extensive consultation ever undertaken in this field. The FUTURAGE road map acts as a plan for a Europe-wide coordinated approach to ageing research, and was developed with the shared perspectives not just of research scientists, but of many different stakeholders including policy makers, practitioners, business people, older people and their Non Governmental Organisations. It identifies the main priority themes for ageing research for the next 10-15 years.
These priority themes cover many more aspects of ageing than just health and health care, but the two that are of most direct relevance to the Age and Ageing Specialty group are "Healthy Ageing For More Life In Years" and "Unequal Ageing And Age-Related Inequalities". The Age and Ageing Specialty Group has mapped FUTURAGE priorities map onto the current portfolio activity to see the extent to which it addresses relevant priorities, and also identify potential gaps in Age and Ageing network research.
Two additional and specific research areas afforded high priority both by the Age & Ageing specialty group, and in the European road map to ensure the inclusion of older people at the cutting edge of digital and pharmaceutical technology research are:
Accordingly, the NIHR Age & Ageing specialty group encourages the participation of older people in NIHR portfolio research studies. Members of the group have published a guide to good practice in recruiting older people into clinical research (McMurdo et al 2011).
Key messages are:
McMurdo MET, Roberts, H., Parkers, S., Wyatt, N., May, H., Goodman, C., Jackson, S., Gladman, J., O'Mahony, S., Ali, K., Dickinson, E., Edison, P., & Dyer, C on behalf of the Age & Ageing Specialty Group, NIHR, Comprehensive Clinical Research Network.

The multi-tasking German driver who created a mobile office in his car complete with laptop, printer, and two phones is nothing unusual in the land that invented the motorway - and where speed limits on most of those motorways are still non existent.
These police pictures of German lorry drivers stopped this year including one caught this week with what looks like a breakfast buffet show that the Germany like to make the most out of their cabs.
As well as the fruit basket the cab of the 51-year-old stopped at Steinen included a coffee machine, a cutting board and of course a Munich football club logo hanging from the rear mirror.
The drivers face charges of driving with a limited field of vision and were ordered to remove the objects before they were allowed to continue on their way.
Likewise these other drivers all caught by Swiss police this year were ordered to remove the cab extras, and told they faced a fine for the same offence.
The car driver stopped after speeding with the mobile office in the front of his Ford Mondeo was caught in Germany, obviously reluctant to stray too far from the office.
The 35-year-old workaholic, who was stopped by police on the autobahn, had the car complete with a laptop, printer, and two mobile phones as well as a navigation device, a GPS receiver attached to his windshield, and a voltage converter to power the precarious set-up.
Officers fined him 120 euro for speeding and 'driving with improperly secured cargo'.

The Tragedy Paper
Perfect for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why and Looking for Alaska, Jennifer Weiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author, calls Elizabeth LaBan's The Tragedy Paper "a beguiling and beautifully written tale of first love and heartbreak."
It follows the story of Tim Macbeth, a seventeen-year-old albino and a recent transfer to the prestigious Irving School, where the motto is "Enter here to be and find a friend." A friend is the last thing Tim expects or wants—he just hopes to get through his senior year unnoticed. Yet, despite his efforts to blend into the background, he finds himself falling for the quintessential "It" girl, Vanessa Sheller, girlfriend of Irving's most popular boy. To Tim's surprise, Vanessa is into him, too, but she can kiss her social status goodbye if anyone ever finds out. Tim and Vanessa begin a clandestine romance, but looming over them is the Tragedy Paper, Irving's version of a senior year thesis, assigned by the school's least forgiving teacher.
Jumping between viewpoints of the love-struck Tim and Duncan, a current senior about to uncover the truth of Tim and Vanessa, The Tragedy Paper is a compelling tale of forbidden love and the lengths people will go to keep their secrets.

GIFtastic: Colts keep coming back, beat Tennessee
Just like the Colts, the GIFtastic will always come back, even if it's a little dicey for a while!
Apologies for how long it's taken for this to come up, but it's been a crazy week. Big thanks to our staff for their work these last two weeks, as they've done a tremendous job. Also kudos to the readers on the CA Charting Project, which has kicked off and is going to be extremely helpful as we move forward.
Now, on to the good stuff.
The Colts put themselves in a hole again last Thursday, crawling out in the first quarter and falling behind 17-3. But, they put together a phenomenal third quarter and rode it to a 30-27 win and a seemingly insurmountable lead in the AFC South. The Colts now have a chance at a bye in the playoffs, which is a bit difficult to fathom, but will need wins against a few key AFC opponents in order to earn that.
But first, the Colts had to beat Tennessee. Here's how they did it, animated internet pictures style.

This has only happened a couple of times - first time about 6 months ago and then again tonight. Both times, I'd worked very hard - the first running 10k fartlek but really pushing it and tonight after a spin class. About 15 mins after exercise, I notice part of my vision is blurred - a bit just off centre , with a couple of squiggly line type things. Very disorienting, but it goes after about an hour. Any ideas? Any others have experienced this?
yep I get blurry vision if I'm pushing myself exercising - reckon it's bp related as I have low bp - vision returns to normal when I cool down though.
If yours persists it might be worth a check-up by your GP?
I would suggest its to do with heat, dehydration and possibly blood sugar levels.
Sometimes I get fuzzy vision after exercise and sometimes light headed, this does go after a short period, but for me I think it is low blood pressure.
When I last had it checked, my rested heart rate was around 42, which I was told was quite low.
As suggested by others, get yourself checked over, in case it's something completely different.
Thanks for this. I am experiencing this for the first time right now, after a hard game of netball - having not played for 20 years. It's reassuring to know that I am not going blind!
I get a similar thing on very rare occasions, sometimes after exercise but sometimes just at work, the vision comes back to normal after 30 to 60 minutes. I don't get full blown migraines but talking to people that do this is often the first sign that they are about to get one. As others have said if it worries you see a GP as the worry is possibly a trigger for it as well.
I have experienced this on only a few occasions in ten years of running. I went to my GP who did checks said i was in very good health etc. Happened again about a year ago. GP then sent me for an ECG. Again everything very normal. Everytime i experience these symptoms is when i push myself very hard.
glad it's not just me. half way up the 4th hard hill on evening club run (had been out in the morning too) It was like looking through a kaliedescope. Was definately running on empty.
As soon as I started cooling down it was back to normal, and the first thing I reached for in the fridge was a jar of jam with a big spoon, somethign I never do, so body was tellign me to get some sugar in.
If that's not the early stages of a migraine I'll eat my hat.
I've suffered from migraines on and off since my early teens and I have learned that hard exercise can trigger them: both full-blown and (more often) just the aura stage that you describe. I have found that I can miminise their occurrence by taking care to be well hydrated and to make sure that I have had a snack before running. I had a rash of them last year when I started doing a hard interval session at lunchtimes but having a mid-morning snack made a big difference.
I sometimes get exercise-induced migraine, usually when I've pushed very hard and not been properly hydrated. Mine starts with visual disturbances and develops into a dehabilitating headache within about 30 minutes, if I can get some painkillers and an electrolyte drink when I first notice my vision going funny then the migraine is usually less severe.
BUT please go and see your GP to get a proper diagnosis.

17 on Loader Guest House has for the past three years been privileged enough to host the permanent retrospective exhibition of the Art of Leda Troedson. The current works on exhibition are but a small fraction of a large body of her work which has never been exhibited. Some biographical information: Leda Troedson (born Rhode) was born in Porterville on the 26th of August 1926 and died in Cape Town after a long illness in March 2005. She was 78 years old. Schooled in Cape Town and educated at the University of Stellenbosch where she studied science (in itself an unusual study choice for women in the 1940's), she worked for many years at the Medical and Dental Council in Johannesburg before changing career paths and

KLAUS TIEDGE: Pride of Africa is an anthology that presents a clear break from documentary wildlife photography. In this series, the animals play as important a role in the images as the environments that they inhabit. Tiedge often composes his images against dramatic backdrops, creating breathtaking scenes which portray a certain fictional quality. Through taking advantage of the "modern digital darkroom", this artist has successfully traversed the boundaries between painting and photography. This year he will be unveiling his new

De Waterkant personalities: Rug designer Pierre Antoine
Anyone strolling around the streets of Cape Town's trendy De Waterkant area may have noticed a building tucked behind a giant bougainvillea and teeming with beautiful carpets on the corner of De Smit and Dixon streets, roughly between the original Cape Quarter and its gleaming new extension. This typical De Waterkant cottage has for many years been the home and initial business of carpet expert and rug designer Pierre Antoine, whose contemporary hand-woven floorware is gracing the floors of some of the world's most exclusive destinations and private residences. Since establishing Fibre Designs Rug Gallery five years ago Antoine has worked on renowned international projects including South Africa's most
Roadtrip Essentials
This week I packed up the unreliable little (sh)Citi Golf I refer to as "The Chad", and headed on out into the great unknown with My Old Man. Doing our own great trek, we dominated bustling metropolises the likes of Colesberg, Laingsburg and Bethlehem - and I only mention these because, relative to the other little dorpies we dashed through, this lot are fast-paced urbanisation. In the face of frequent 20 minute "stop-before-passing" roadworks, however, and throat-croaking attempts at "She'll be coming round the mountain" (which starts to mock, when the trip begins to seem interminable) I realized the necessity of... A ROADTRIP SURVIVAL KIT. So for those heading on out, Indiana-Jones

AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds wants nothing more than to pass the Babe at home, and the San Francisco slugger has one more chance before hitting the road again.
Bonds went without a home run for his fifth straight game, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run in the Giants' 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.He remained at 714 home runs a week after hitting his last homer, and is one from moving past Babe Ruth and into sole possession of second place behind Hank Aaron's 755.Giants manager Felipe Alou hoped Bonds would play in Sunday's series finale before the team heads to Florida for three games followed by three against the Mets in New York."My plan is to put him in the lineup," Alou said.Pedro Feliz lined a go-ahead, two-run triple to left in the fourth and Matt Cain won his second straight start, not allowing a hit until a one-out double to Garrett Atkins in the fourth on a breezy and cool Bay Area evening."I like that," Feliz said of batting in RBI situations. "That's the opportunity to get them."Bonds splashed a foul ball into McCovey Cove some 400 feet away on the third pitch he saw leading off the second inning, then lined out to right field one pitch later. That foul into the water was the closest he's come to homering at home in 2½ weeks.The seven-time NL MVP walked on five pitches in the fourth with nobody aboard. He came up with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth with two outs and popped up to third on the first pitch, then flied out to center in the eighth."Obviously we didn't want the situation when he came up with the bases loaded," Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said. "That brought a lot of drama to the ballpark."The number of fans standing when Bonds bats has greatly diminished as this chase drags on. The media contingent is dwindling, too."Smaller crowd every day," Alou said. "If Barry hits 715, I'm going to be here by myself."Before the game, Bonds posed for pictures and hugged fans on the team's on-field photo day. Bonds was jovial, smiling often though declining to sign autographs for the many seekers. He took part in the session for nearly an hour.The 41-year-old Bonds hit home run Nos. 500, 600 and 700 along with 660 and 661 to tie and pass his godfather, Willie Mays, in San Francisco's waterfront ballpark. In 2001, Bonds hit the final three of his 73 homers at home to break Mark McGwire's single-season record of 70.Bonds has gone 17 at-bats and 23 plate appearances since hitting 714 on May 20 at Oakland against left-hander Brad Halsey. He went 29 at-bats without a homer after hitting No. 713 with a 450-foot shot May 7 in Philadelphia.Cain (3-5), who pitched a one-hit shutout last Sunday at Oakland that ended a four-start winless stretch after he had his turn in the rotation skipped once, allowed two hits in 5 2-3 innings and left after issuing consecutive two-out walks to Brad Hawpe and JD Closser in the sixth.Cain struck out six and walked five in a 108-pitch performance. His scoreless innings stretch ended at 14 2-3 on Closser's fourth-inning RBI single to right that tied the game at 1.Armando Benitez recorded the final three outs for his first save since May 8 and third in five chances.While his work has been limited, Benitez said he has stayed ready."I'll be focused on the game," he said. "I'll be doing my thing."Closser, starting at catcher a day after being recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs, also threw out two baserunners on steal attempts in the Rockies' season-worst fifth straight loss.San Francisco's Travis Ishikawa earned the chance to be in the lineup for a second straight day after going 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in his first major league start Friday night, then tripled leading off the fifth.Josh Fogg (3-3) lost for the first time in six career appearances against the Giants."It wasn't important to me if he hit 715 or 8 million. It didn't matter," Fogg said of Bonds. "My job is to win ballgames, whether guys hit home runs or not. ... He's one of the best to ever play the game."San Francisco's Omar Vizquel had reached base in nine straight plate appearances before a fly out to center in the fourth.Game notes
Rockies 2B Luis Gonzalez, who left after the first inning of Friday's 9-0 loss with inflammation in both wrists, came to the ballpark Saturday to be assessed by trainers, but was given medication and sent back to the team hotel to rest. He didn't get much sleep Friday night because of the pain in his wrists. The disabled list is still a possibility. ... Colorado LF Matt Holliday was out of the lineup a day after getting hit with a pitch from Jason Schmidt in the right thumb in the fourth inning. His thumb remained swollen, though Holliday was hopeful he could play Sunday.

Dayton's annual Fourth of July fireworks show will be different on two fronts this year — it will be significantly bigger than last year's, and it won't actually be in July.
Dayton's fireworks will be tied, as usual, to the CityFolk festival, which brings arts, music and food to downtown, this year on June 28-30. The fireworks display will go off at 10 p.m. Sunday, June 30.
"It sounds funny because it's in June, but it's our way of boosting support for the CityFolk festival," said Joe Parlette, the city's interim director of recreation and youth services.
The city approved a two-year fireworks contract with Rozzi Company — which provides fireworks for the Cincinnati Reds and numerous regional festivals — for $60,000 per year. Rozzi last did the Dayton display in 2006.
Parlette said that $60,000 investment is the same as the past few years, but he said Rozzi's proposal called for about 6,500 fireworks shells, or nearly 3,000 more than last year's display.
"Last year's show was outstanding, and to think we're going to have 3,000 more shells in the same timeframe, you can only imagine what it's going to look like," Parlette said.
The fireworks will be launched from Deeds Point, making RiverScape MetroPark a prime viewing area. Parlette said there will be many more 200-foot shells this year that can be seen primarily from downtown, but also an increase in larger shells that can be seen from a distance.
The CityFolk festival will have gated entrances and will collect admission fees, but Parlette said those gates will come down at 6 p.m. June 30, so those coming solely for the free fireworks display can find their spot.
Kathleen Alter, executive director of CityFolk, said the fireworks day usually draws the biggest crowd of the festival weekend, with people who came mostly for fireworks seeing all the festival has to offer.
"Hopefully it draws new people to CityFolk," she said. "It definitely benefits all of us."
Several other local Independence Day celebrations, including Centerville's Americana Festival and Kettering's Go 4th event, will be held as usual on July 4, which is a Thursday.

A COUNTRY AFFAIR REBECCA SHAW ISBN# 1-4000-9820-3 May 2006 Three Rivers Press 1745 Broadway, New York, NY 10019 Paperback $12.95 U.S. 288 Pages Fiction Rating: 4 Cups
Kate Howard, a receptionist, wishes to be a veterinarian. Working alongside, Scott, a very handsome Australian, piques her interest more while caring for animals.
Errol 'Scott' Spencer, a vet, takes care of large animals. He is most intrigued with Kate and would love to know her better but someone stalks from the wings determined to keep him at bay.
Adam Pentecost, Kate's boyfriend, intends to keep things the way they are with or without Kate's consent. He does not agree with her going after her dreams.
Bunty Page sets her sight on Scott and is determined to keep him at any costs.
After arriving in Barleybridge, a small village situated in the Yorkshire hills of England, Kate accepts the receptionist job at the Veterinary Hospital. The quaint community is an area where everyone knows their neighbors as sheep graze on the countryside. It is all new to Kate who is a bit reserved and inexperienced about a few things. Kate loves her new job while meeting the people and helping to take care of the animals. She finds a renewed interest with Scott who notices her ambitions immediately. Scott encourages Kate to follow her dreams. He believes her caring devotion would make a good Veterinarian. Throughout their time together a friendship forms into a relationship that Kate would love to pursue but she learns another wishes the same with Scott. The two have much to resolve with their changing lives and those around them but Kate finds she may have more decisions in her lap. With thoughts of Scott possibly never being in her life, she realizes she must make some tough choices before it is too late.
A Country Affair instantly grabbed my attention. The story was so mesmerizing and the landscape absolutely captivating, I felt as if I was in the midst of everything. The secondary figures made such an addition to the storyline. Kate is a well written character that I immediately fell in love with as she goes through many trying emotions, while Scott has his own dilemma's to conquer. Ms. Shaw brings a village to life in this incredible story that reaches out and touches the heart. She leaves the reader with anticipation to read more of Kate and Scott's journey. Her tender tale is refreshing and vibrant and I look toward more of her impeccable writings.

Use only outdoors

I bought 4 to use on a toy school bus which I built for my grandchildren. I discovered that they emit a strong, unpleasant odor. Nothing that I have tried eliminates or even reduces the odor. Dish washing detergent and even an odor eliminating chemical have not worked.
