Winning Isn't Everything. The Kid proved that technology can make up for some lack of experience. Yet I proved that with experience and an understanding of where a boat's pivot point is, how it steers from the stern, and the effect the wind has on your bow, you can dock anything, anywhere, anytime. All it takes is practice and remembering these three points: Go slow, always know where your drive is pointing, and use the wind. Oh, and one more thing: If you're a macho boat jockey who likes to keep his ego intact, don't challenge a kid with a joystick to a docking contest.
Maxum Control. Control Max is simply a bowthruster and a pair of stern thrusters operated by a joystick at the helm. The thrusters are small propellers installed in tunnels molded into the hull below the waterline. Operation is intuitive: Shuffle the joystick in the direction you'd like to go, and the boat responds-forward, backward, even sideways. Easy as pie.
The catch? There are several. For one thing, the system costs $4,000. You could get docking instruction from a professional captain for 1/10 of that. Electrically powered, Control Max runs on a dedicated battery that weighs about 100 pounds. Our experience dictates that adding weight aft affects a boat's speed and performance. This battery is also a parasite on your engine's charging system. It requires so many amps that your alternator will take longer to recharge both the Control Max battery and your boat's primary batteries. Therefore, we recommend a dual starting battery system, in addition to the dedicated battery, for any boat equipped with Control Max. This adds more weight and expenses.
Finally, unlike bowthrusters on large boats, the Control Max propeller tunnels are too small a diameter to get a paint brush into. Therefore, if you keep your boat in the water, fouling will eventually prevent the propellers from turning.
But for the Lotto-winning novice, those who don't have the time to practice, or even as a safer way of picking up a downed water-skier, Control Max works.

So far it has been good, I am outta food so I need to buy more. I really dislike eating at this level. Its hard for me to keep up. All in all its going well Im starting to feel the increased strength and stamina. No sides minus the begging lethargia and back pumps if I dont consume enough water. As long as I do my best to stay on top of everything it should be a good cycle
I will be back to bench on saturday so I am excited to see how my strength is. I should be repping 255 x 8 so we shall see.
I ended up stopping the cycle at 3 weeks for many reasons, mainly I didnt wanna continue if I couldn't put forth the time, work was just to busy, stopping at 3 weeks made the most sense to me.

Product Type: Rio Hair Removal

Made to be messy!
Rio Total Body Waxing Hair Removal Kit
Member Name: Kmoore13
Rio Total Body Waxing Hair Removal Kit
Date: 08/06/12
Advantages: Design is based on those at salons
Disadvantages: Products are of bad quality
Any waxer knows that this is a messy job but for some reason I found this kit made it even worse. I first brought it about 5 years ago when I started a beauty therapy course (it has long since been in the bin).
The design of it is exactly like those used in beauty salons only smaller and with less heating dials. It is easy to use and is really self explanatory. It does have different heat settings although I found these to be a little cooler than what you would use at salons. The black is quite stylish and it is small enough to easily store.
Quality of the products
There is a hard and soft wax provided in this kit, both I found to be of poor quality. This is compared to the stuff I am used to dealing with from a beauty wholesalers. Whether this is maybe because the wax pot took so long to heat it and in my opinion did not reach the optimum heat, anybody using this wax pot I would recommend buying other wax to put in it. I found it much much stickier than normal, especially with the hard wax and I actually found it hurt more but that could be due to the cheap wax strips that they provide. They are the paper ones whereas I always find it better to use the muslin ones (less pain and much more effective at removing all the wax and so the hairs). The cleaner they provided works on your skin/hands if you use loads on it. It does not however work on the actual wax pot which it is actually there for. I only used it on my hands in desperation because nothing else would take this wax off.
I think I only paid £50 for this when I brought it which is a really good price (some wax pots can be priced at £300+ (salon ones). However, the quality I feel reflects the price. Plus once the wax has run out you have to keep replacing it which I found was really expensive. A cheaper and in my opinion more effective method is either the hair removal cream or epilation. With epilation there is one off payment for the machine and you have it for as long as its electrical life will last. For decent wax you are paying around £10-15 a pot
Overall I would not recommend this product to a friend. Mine was used a few times and got so sticky and messy it ended up stuck in the box and stuck to the instructions and I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of sorting it out so it went straight in the bin. I must admit I was disappointed with this product but then my expectations were high because of the kit I used at college. This wood be fine for someone who has fine hair and has got the time and money to buy the products over and over again.
Summary: Overall I think this wax heater does the job but not greatly.

WMU'S WIN STREAK UP TO 12 IN A ROW: Western Michigan's win streak increased to 12 straight with wins last weekend over Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan. The Broncos have won their last 19 games and have dropped only four games during the 12-match win streak. The Broncos, who last lost to Ball State on Sept. 23, remain tied in the loss column with the Cardinals in the West Division, though BSU has played one more match than WMU. Western Michigan faces Toledo and Central Michigan on the road this weekend, then comes home to host Ball State and Northern Illinois in the final weekend of the regular season.
OHIO CLINCHES SECOND-EVER BID: Despite its Friday loss, the Ohio Bobcats clinched a spot in the MAC Tournament because Eastern Michigan, Miami and Toledo also fell the same evening. The appearance is only the second in the last 20 years (15 tournaments). The only other time Ohio earned a spot in the postseason was 1998 (pool play was used the first two years, 1980 and 1981). Ohio still holds a slim lead in the East Division and can wrap up the title with a victory Saturday over Bowling Green. That could also give the Bobcats a home date in the opening round of the tournament, pending the outcome of the Ball State at Central Michigan match Friday.
AN OMEN FOR NORTHERN ILLINOIS?: With last Tuesday's victory over Illinois-Chicago, the 2000 version of the Northern Illinois volleyball program became the 16th squad in school history to reach the 20-win plateau. The last three Huskie squads to accomplish the feat (1998-27 wins, 1997-27 wins, and 1996-27 wins) all advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
6,000 ASSISTS AND COUNTING: Ball State senior setter Emily Sallee, who became the MAC's career all-time assists leader on Oct. 20, became only the 11th setter in NCAA Division I history to amass 6,000 assists. The reigning MAC Player of the Year accomplished the feat in last Friday's win against Eastern Michigan. With 6,044 career assists, Sallee is tied for ninth with former Virginia setter Mary Frances Scott and is nine away from moving into seventh.
KARR IS MOTORING: Miami junior outside hitter Lee Ann Karr led the RedHawks in both of their weekend matches. She notched a match-high 18 kills in a four-game match with Akron and also led Miami with 12 kills in a three-game win over Buffalo. Karr posted six blocks over the weekend and had a .423 hitting percentage against the Bulls and a .366 hitting percentage against the Zips.
NEXT IN LINE FOR CENTURY MARKS: Kent State senior Carrie McEnery has inched closer to the prestigious 1,000 kill-1,000 dig mark for her career. McEnery had 22 kills and 35 digs in the two victories during the week. For her career she now has 979 kills and 975 digs. McEnery will become just the second Kent State volleyball player ever to achieve this mark. McEnery is currently eighth in the MAC in digs per game (3.13) and is also tied for seventh in aces per game (0.37).
ITS MERRILL EVERYWHERE: With 32 kills over the weekend, Ohio's Amber Merrill is once again ranked among the program's top five for kills in a season. She now has 446 this year, the fourth most in school history. She already holds the No. 1 (464) and No. 3 (451) marks on the list. Merrill, who has 1,435 career kills, is also 104 kills shy of equaling Lori Dyer (1539) as the school's all-time kill leader.
THE PRICE IS RIGHT FOR EMU: Eastern Michigan freshman Kristie Price has tallied 75 block assists on the season to lead the Eagles. That ranks her 11th for a single-season performance. She is eight shy of 83, which is the highest total for a freshman in EMU history (done by EMU's all-time leader Jill Hutton). She is 23 shy of making the career list at 98, which would rank her 12th all-time. Last Wednesday, Price had 10 total blocks versus rival Central Michigan, and finished the match one dig shy of a triple-double.
A DIG FEST FOR AKRON AND KENT STATE: In the five-game win over Akron last Saturday, Kent State had seven individuals with 10 or more digs. For the match the two teams combined for 229 digs. KSU group was led by seniors Carrie McEnery and Katie Leaf, who each had 20 digs. Freshman Tarrin Pelton had a career-high 19 digs while Chantel Vineyard added 17, Shiva Davis and Stephanie Doran each had 14 and Sarah Kutschinski had 11. Akron, meanwhile, had four players with 10-plus digs including three with 20-plus. Zip freshman Sandy Lewis led all players with a carer-high 30 digs, with Ashlie Case and Miranda Valentine each picking up 23. Ashley Lewis added 15 digs also for Akron.
THATS THE TICKET FOR THE BRONCOS: Western Michigan's matches versus Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan drew the top two crowds of the year for home contests in the MAC this season. WMU drew 1,083 fans to Fridays matchup versus CMU to establish a season best. Saturdays crowd of 1,159 topped that total and gave the Broncos a weekend total of 2,242 fans, an average of 1,121 per match. Western Michigan is now averaging 824 fans at home matches this season.
STREAK OF 20-WINS AT NINE STRAIGHT: For the ninth straight season, Ball State has picked up at least 20 wins, following the Cardinals' win over Eastern Michigan last Friday. Stringing together as many as eight 20-win seasons had happened only one other time in the history of the MAC. Western Michigan did it nine times from 1979 through 1987, though the conference didnt begin to sponsor volleyball until 1980.
MATIKOSH SPARKS BUFFALO: Freshman Lindsay Matikosh was the bright spot for Buffalo last week, posting double digits in kills in all three of the Bulls matches. She had 13 kills and six digs versus Cornell, 14 kills and 18 digs against Ohio and 14 kills and eight digs against Miami.
REMAINING CONSISTENT LATE IN YEAR: After starting the MAC portion of its schedule dropping five of its first seven, Bowling Green has turned the tables by winning seven of its last eight. The Falcons, with an overall record of 16-8 and a MAC mark of 9-6, are four wins shy of winning 20 matches in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1992-93, when BGSU accomplished the feat four consecutive years (1990-93). The Falcons have five regular season matches remaining to nab the mark, three against league foes -- Miami, Ohio and Buffalo -- and two non-conference contests -- Oakland and Cleveland State.
CMUS YOUNG IS ON THE ATTACK: Central Michigan sophomore Jenny Young continues to pound out kills for the Chippewas. She totaled 50 this past week while averaging 5.0 per game. Her season average is now 3.98 kills per game and it climbs to 4.34 in MAC action. After recording 291 kills as a freshman, Young has already amassed 374 this season. She already has 650 career kills in her less-than-two-year career, which ranks in the top 20 in the MACs active leaders.
PRESEASON POLL REVISITED: Below is a comparison of the leagues preseason poll, which was released back in August, in relation to where the teams stand with two weeks remaining in the regular season.
East Division - Pick - +/- Ohio - 6th - +5 Bowling Green - T4th - +2 Akron - 2nd - -1 Kent State - 3rd - -1 Miami - 1st - -4 Marshall - T4th - -2 Buffalo - 7th - even West Division - Pick - +/- Ball State - 1st - even Western Michigan - 2nd - +1 Northern Illinois - 3rd - even Central Michigan - 6th - +2 Toledo - 5th - even Eastern Michigan - 4th - -2
West Division - Pick - +/- Ball State - 1st - even Western Michigan - 2nd - +1 Northern Illinois - 3rd - even Central Michigan - 6th - +2 Toledo - 5th - even Eastern Michigan - 4th - -2
ITS BEEN A WHILE FOR KENT STATE: Kent State ran its win steak to a season-high four straight matches, all MAC contests. This is the first time the Golden Flashes have won four straight matches since they opened the 1998 season 4-0. The last time the Golden Flashes won five straight league contests was in 1997, when they finished second in the MAC East with a 10-6 mark.
BOWMAN IS MOVIN ON UP: Northern Illinois freshman setter Jenny Bowman continues to hand out assists at an impressive rate this season. With 1,430 assists, Bowman is currently 4th on the school's single season assist list despite having at least four more matches yet to play. Her 2000 assist numbers are also good enough to place the Minnesota native sixth on NIU's all-time assist chart.
LEWIS ON A RAMPAGE FOR AKRON: Akron freshman Sandy Lewis has been on a hot streak of late for the Zips. Lewis had a career-high 30 digs versus Kent State last Saturday to go with 18 kills and has seven kill-dig double-doubles in her last nine matches. She also dropped in a career-high five aces versus Miami the night before.
MAC PLACES TWO IN REGION RANKINGS: In the third NCAA regional rankings released Oct. 18, two MAC schools were named in the Mideast Region. Western Michigan was seventh, while Ball State was eighth. The final regional ranking will be announced on Nov. 15.
NCAA Division I Womens Volleyball Mideast Rankings (Nov. 1) School -- Overall 1.Wisconsin -- 21-2 2. Minnesota -- 21-1 3.Ohio State -- 20-2 4.Penn State -- 20-4 5.Iowa -- 11-9 6.Michigan State -- 13-8 7.Western Michigan -- 16-5 8.Ball State -- 18-4 9.Fairfield -- 19-5 10.Indiana -- 13-9
SHARING THE WEALTH: In 23 matches so far this season, Western Michigan has had three or players record 10 or more kills in a single contest a total of 14 times. Three Broncos have reached double figures in kills in the same match six times while four players have accomplished that feat on seven occasions. Angie Sillmon, Alberta Griffin, Monyka Paul, Zakiya Pope, and MMyia McQuirter all totaled 10 or more versus Eastern Kentucky Sept. 2
BSU'S HOME STREAK CONTINUES: Ball State increased its home winning streak to 30-straight following wins over Miami, Eastern Michigan and Toledo last weekend. BSU won all 13 home contests this year and ended the 1999 season with 17 straight wins at home, and the Cardinals will have to wait for the MAC Quarterfinals in an attempt to extend the streak. The Cardinals current streak is the third-longest active one in Division I, trailing Colorado States 42 consecutive victories and Northern Iowas 32.
THE HERD'S DIGGING MACHINES: Marshall nearly haunted Akron on Halloween by pulling an upset in Huntington. The Herd, who lost a tough four-game loss to the Zips, did plenty of digging in the contests as six players netted double digits in digs. Junior Kristin Bailey led all players with a match-high 24 digs, while Nora Keithly added 16 and Andrea Kastein chipped in 13. Also racking up double digits in digs were Jodi Fick and Ashley Barnard (12 each) and Wendy Williams (11).

Switching to Perennial Energy Crops Under Uncertainty and Costly Reversibility
We study a farmer's decision to convert traditional cropland into land for growing dedicated energy crops, taking into account sunk conversion costs and uncertainties in crop returns. The optimal decision rules differ significantly from the expected net present value rule, which ignores uncertainties, and from real options models that allow only one-way conversion into energy crops. These models also predict drastically different patterns of land conversions into and out of energy crops over time. Using corn--soybean rotation and switchgrass as examples, we show that the model predictions are sensitive to assumptions about stochastic processes of the returns. Government policies might have unintended consequences: subsidizing conversion costs into switchgrass may not much affect proportions of land in switchgrass in the long run.

My first HTPC casePros: Good value, great styling, good ventilation, easy to add components, plenty of drive space. One of the features I liked was a hole on the back to thread a security cable through to prevent theft. Cons: CPU air shroud should be black, not gray, since it is so easily seen through the top. Front panel door hasn't broken but I wouldn't plan on stressing it too much. The cable to extend audio to the front panel was too short for my motherboard. It was difficult to install some PCI cards with large external ports connections, like the BNC connectors on my Surveillance DVR card. The external button to open the optical drive door doesn't make the best contact. Directions were really poor. A first time system builder would have had issues. Other Thoughts: Not sure if any other cases have this, but an included IR receiver would have been great. Even given its shortcomings, I am very happy with my purchase. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: cheap Cons: maybe its just my DVD drive but the buttons are kinda weird to push in and open the DVD drive, maybe other DVD drives are better? 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Rosewill FE-h010 ATX Media center CasePros: Very good looking case. very sleek , glossy black matched my other HT setup. Just small enough to fit in my TV stand with the other stuff, and not be awkward. It is full height, and takes full sized ATX motherboards, as well as conventional ATX PSU. it has room for at least 2 Optical drives as well as 2 HDD, and has top and side venting where extra fans can be mounted. I used a pretty small GPU an Sapphire 4350 512, fan-less, and mounted a 92mm fan above it for better cooling. There is a tunnel on the bottom side to route cooling air for the PSU, that seems adequate. LEDs aren't obnoxiously bright, like some cases. Cons: It does mount full ATX boards, but it is very tight at that size, I am glad I put my Gigabyte MA 770 DS3 which is ATX length but not width in it as it fit's very well. Biggest complaint is lack of airflow and not much room to keep the cabling out of the airflow. Other Thoughts: All in all an excellent value for the money, and not ugly. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Not for ATXPros: It is a nice looking case. I was impressed when i took it out of the box. Its a great price for a HTPC case if it did what it says. Cons: This case is not well designed for ATX. Yes the mounting holes are there. Completely unlabled and with no directions. But you can figure it out if you know what you're doing. The powersupply hangs over the edge of my board, blocking half the SATA ports, the powerbutton connectors, IDE port, and the power connector. If you need to work on it expect to pull the power suppy. And you may not even be able to access some of your ports. I could deal with those issues though, except my memory COMPLETELY blocks access to the connections for the second 5.25 bay. Which was the entire reason i got this case. Other Thoughts: I have never had a complaint of a Rosewill product, but of over a dozen builds this is by far the most unpleasent. Normally its enjoyable. Now, it is an HTPC. Space is expected to be tight, and they are generally a pain. I might even consider this case if i ever found a mATX with the features i need. But if youve got ATX or are looking at one make sure the front edge of the board has as little as possible on it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Case, GREAT PricePros: Price, Size, Function. Great case for the price, room for 2 optical drives, 2 hard drives, and a full size video card(Read: Full size, not oversize), Best card I've found for this is the new Nvidia Geforce 240 with native HDMI. Fits snugly but perfectly and has FULL native HDMI. Sound and Video. This case is as big as an audio reciever or 2 dvd players stacked on top of each other. Clean lines and looks great! Cons: Parts are still plastic and can break if you're not careful. Directions are far more useful as toilet paper. Other Thoughts: I like it! Full ATX MOBO Full size Vid Card and it fits perfectly in my Home Theater shelving. Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice Basic HTPC CasePros: Looks, size, Function, holds upto ATX MOBO with full size Video card ,but not the likes of a 5850/285 of course. Cons: No remote sensor or place for Remote sensor...3,5"bay is covered Other Thoughts: As other reviewers mentioned The PSU is mounted Plug forward inside the case... 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
WOW !!!!!Pros: for the money, this is awesome. Cons: possible power supply, but who knows....works as of now. Other Thoughts: buy it.. 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Rosewill Black/Silver HTPC RetailPros: -Matches decor Cons: -PSU is mounted on the front left hand side of the case. I moved the case after build and thought i shorted something out. No, the PSU cable got unplugged. Luckly, just a pop of the front panel gets you to the cable. Other Thoughts: Rosewill had a good idea on their hand. I would have preferred if it was going to be a front mounting PSU to allow the builder to mount it upside down so that the fan can effectively cool down the unit and maybe a vent to push out all that hot air. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Power Supply overheatsPros: Overall nice case. Came with parts bag, rails. I like the looks. The quality is pretty good for the price, better than I expected. Cons: The main purpose of this case is for HTPC. When I put the case on the shelf in my Armour with the doors open the computer starts to get really hot. The shelf is about 4ft wide x 2ft deep and 10inches tall. The problem is the power supply is mounted in the front of the case with metal covering/redirecting airflow to the PS fan. I thought I had a bad power supply so I tried another computer that normally runs cool and quiet but that too started to overheat within about an hour. I set the unit outside the Armour and it runs cooler as expected. Other Thoughts: I have not yet figured out what else to do, but it seems no matter how little the load is the PS overheats. The only cheap feeling of the case was the front usb/card reader door. I also had a difficult time putting the top cover on, tab alignment I guess. Case metal a bit thin but not that bad. I was really surprised that it overheated in such a roomy shelf, with that in mind I would consider your application before purchasing this case. 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

TICONDEROGA — Although some Ticonderoga Elementary-Middle School students will say goodbye to Principal John W. Donohue when they leave this year, they'll find him waiting for them as the new High School principal.
Donohue starts his new job July 1; the Ticonderoga School Board recently picked him as the new High School principal from a field of several candidates.
He has been the Elementary-Middle School principal since Bruce Tubbs retired in 2012.
The High School has had an interim principal since Michael Graney departed in January 2013 to become the new principal — now the new superintendent — at Bolton Central School.
A graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh, Donohue was a head teacher and special-education instructor at Ticonderoga before becoming Elementary-Middle School principal.
"I am very excited for my move to the High School," he said by email. "It was not an easy decision to leave the Elementary-Middle School. I have worked in this building for 12 years, and it has become part of my home and family.
"However, when the position came up this year, it was a great opportunity for me to work at the high-school level in a community that I love."
Ticonderoga Superintendent John McDonald Jr. said the district will now seek a new Elementary-Middle School principal.
"We have already started the process of advertising for a new K-8 principal, and we hope to make an appointment in April."
He feels Donohue is an excellent choice for the position at the High School.
"John has done an outstanding job as our K-8 principal over the past two years, and I fully support his desire to expand his educational leadership experience as the High School principal," McDonald said by email.
"His knowledge of curriculum and the Common Core (standards) will be a great asset to take to this new position."
He said Donohue's experience at the Elementary-Middle School will be useful in his new post.
"His knowledge of and work experience in the Elementary and Middle schools will help bring a K-12 perspective to the High School. I am very proud of the work he has done, and I have every confidence he will continue to succeed."
Donohue was given a three-year contract by the School Board and will start at a annual salary of $82,400.

Another upcoming Broadway show, the Broadway revival of the musical Brigadoon, has also announced postponement. This production, which was not scheduled to open for many more months, says its delay is due to an inability to find a suitable Broadway theater for its planned spring 2009 opening.

Formed in New York, USA, in 1974, Milk And Cookies initially comprised Justin Strauss (vocals), Ian North (keyboards) Sal Maida (bass) and Mike Ruiz (drums). A power pop band with a quirky sense of humour, their sole album inspired comparisons to Sparks. Soon after its release Maida quit to join Venus And The Razorblades, and Jim Gregory, and then Jay Dee Weiss, replaced him in Milk And Cookies. North soon left, too, to form the punk-inspired Neo and Ian North's Radio, while Weiss then became a founding member of the Knickers with James Destri (who later was a member of Blondie). Strauss and Ruiz managed to keep their band going until 1977.

Cheryl ZibiskyNeed a kid's costume, pronto? Desperate to find a replacement babysitter hours before your dinner reservation? Help is on the way.
You Need: A Halloween Costume
The bad news first: A white sheet and a kid do not a ghost maketh. To cobble together a costume, read on.
The Quick Fix:
For Girls: Her closet probably has the makings of a fairy princess -- a leotard, a wand, a tutu. Just add glitter gel to her face and hands. "Whether the costume is accurate to a character doesn't matter. Kids will go for it," says Laurel Burke, co-owner of the Spook Shop costume store, in Bellingham, Washington, and a film production designer. For a crown, cut points into a sparkly or colored translucent school folder and glue the ends together, says Burke.
For Boys: Got a big cardboard box? Cut off the flaps and cut holes for arms and a head. Spray-paint it silver or decorate it with markers and you have a robot. To make feet, cut a hole into the bottoms of two shoe boxes for him to put his ankles through, then have him put on his shoes underneath.
For Both: Superheroes fly with everyone. To make this costume, all you need is a cape, an eye mask, and a logo. If you can't find an eye mask, draw one on with face paint; you can make a logo out of construction paper according to your child's whim. "Suddenly, he's Super-Pickle!" says Burke.
For more quick and easy ideas, see Quick, Easy Halloween Costumes
You Need: A Gift for a Teacher
If you had planned ahead, you might have bought a thoughtful, pampering gift. Or, at the very least, a "World's Best Teacher" mug.
The Quick Fix: Gift cards are a slam dunk, provided they're not too specific (such as one for a clothing store that might not suit someone's taste), says Fran Shea, a kindergarten teacher in Putnam County, New York, who has been an educator for 18 years. Stick to spa treatments, dinner at a local restaurant (pick one that is on the way to school to save more time), department stores, or bookstores. "I love those," Shea adds, "because I can buy books for myself or the classroom." As for the amount, anything from $5 to $50 is fair game -- but $100 is too much. (See Real Simple's Tips for Parent-Teacher Conferences)
You Need: A Birthday Card
Construction paper and markers can be cute, but they also say, "We forgot!"
The Quick Fix: For a less harried alternative, download and print this card on heavy stock paper. Or try www.yahoo americangreetings.com/printables for card downloads (registration gets you free access for a month). For the future, consider ordering a set of personalized gift tags to keep handy. The styles at www.roseberrycreekdesigns.com have all kinds of kid-friendly pics -- ladybugs, trains, baseball gear--to go alongside your name ($16 for 30 tags). The site www.wittydoodles.com has tags with cute stick figures ($29.50 for 30 tags).
You Need: A Birthday Present
What, your closet of generic go-to gifts for this type of emergency is empty? Oh, right. You remember to stock it only when Target is closing in four minutes and you have zero time to shop.
The Quick Fix: For this emergency, hit the Internet. The website www.gifts.com lets you select a participating store from hundreds of options (including KB Toys and Nickelodeon), choose a dollar amount, and print out cute, personalized gift certificates. (The certificates can also be e-mailed directly to the recipient.) Know any young movie buffs? They'll give two thumbs-up to Fandango Bucks -- illustrated, brightly colored movie passes from www.fandango.com.

Is your child ready to stay home alone? That may depend on the laws in your state. Check with your local child protective services agency to find out age guidelines for your area.
If your child meets the age guidelines, does she also:
- Follow family rules? For example, she'll comply if you say, "No friends over while I'm out."
- Tell the truth? If you can't trust your child, she is not ready to be home alone.
- Know how to keep herself safe? For example, she won't open the door to a person she doesn't know. She won't tell a caller that she is in the house alone.
When you decide she's ready:
- Keep your outings short and stay close to home. For example, go up the street to the grocery store. But don't drive an hour for an afternoon of shopping at the outlet mall.
- Let her know where you will be and leave a phone number if possible.
- Leave contact information for a neighbor or other trusted adult in case she can't reach you. Be sure to tell the adult your plans.

Galley Gossip: How Being Married To A Flight Attendant Is Great Training For The Job
Hi Heather, My wife is a flight attendant and for some time now I've been looking to make a career change and was thinking of becoming a flight attendant myself. I can see how she enjoys it and has fun with it and I'd like to try it, too. Do you think it would be a good or bad thing to bring up in an interview situation that I am married to a flight attendant or does it matter at all? Obviously being married to one gives me a greater insight and depth of understanding of the job and what it involves compared to many other candidates. I have a degree in Microbiology so I have somewhat of a brain, although my wife might debate that with you. I also co-managed a bar in Ireland before I came to the United States so I know what it's like to have to deal with difficult and intoxicated customers. I also was an airport screener for a while and I'm a state certified emergency responder. I'd like to think these things would make me a strong candidate. Just curious what you think. Thanks for your time, Brian.
Based on your work experience alone, you sound like the perfect candidate to me! You're comfortable cutting people off handling intoxicated passengers, you're familiar with the responsibilities that go along with working at an airport, and you have a pretty good idea of what life is like in the sky. Being a certified emergency trainer will only make you more attractive to the airlines. Your wife, I'm sure, has mentioned that no one ever dies in flight, right? At least not until a doctor can make an official pronouncement. This might be why so many flight attendants have nursing backgrounds. Some are even senior enough to hold a flying schedule that allows them to balance a nursing career at the same time. These are always my favorite flight attendants to work with because when there's an emergency in flight, they tend to take over. That being said, I truly believe it's your wife that makes you a standout.

February 24, 2014 - Awesome boots for that muddy spring garden. They also look good with shorts for washing thee car!
February 23, 2014 - great boot...does seem a bit narrower in case you would want to wear heavier socks with it...esp. in the toe box...
January 20, 2014 - Excellent deal! They aren't snow boots so if you plan on wearing them in cold weather I suggest going up a size. I got my true size and I can fit my orthotics in them easily. I was impressed with the quality and service of this site and will use it frequently.
December 29, 2013 - I absolutely loathe them. These el cheapo pieces of crap are from China, and the tops of the boots are not blunted/smoothed down, so they cut into my calves big time. My legs are yet to heal. Not to mention in this winter, I cannot balance worth a damn & there is NO traction.

20 & 47 All Day Long...
Recognize!! So excited to see these guys kick *** next year. Side note Knott was #12 on Ubbs ESPN best players list and AK47 made #9
Ranking the Big 12's top 25 players: No. 9 - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
article is all over the map has us last at RB even though White was productive and Tech's back was injured and it "derailed their running game". If he was projecting next year I'd buy that but then why would he have MO and the Mason jars 1-2?
It's deffinitely a recap of 2011.
I think we get knocked because we had a significant chunk of rushing yards come from the QB position. White still had more yards than the leading rushers for KU and TTU though. And ISU had more rushing yards average than both teams as well. In fact, I have no idea how anyone could call TTUs rushing attack better than ISUs. My guess is that Ubbs liked what Stephens from TTU was doing before he got hurt. He apparently didn't appreciate Whites contributions to our team either and didn't watch Woody running over people like a truck.
good for them
Right on! :yes:
I don't know why, but in my head I like to think these two guys just absolutely hate each other, and it fuels the fire to be better than the other. I'm sure this isn't the case, I just want to feel like these guys are never nice to anyone.

Will Winter Season Radials Reduce Ice Rut Accidents ?
It amazes many who live in warmer climes that those up north regularly as a matter of course as a vehicle owner have to get their "car ready for winter". Many think its simply a matter of checking your antifreeze coolant levels in their radiators , making sure that that windshield washer antifreeze is good for 40 below zero , that their batteries hold a good charge ready to start their vehicles on the coldest January Northern Alberta night and lastly that their interior heaters work "just right". Few think of their tires when it comes to the pre-winter seasonal tune ups at their local garage or auto dealership.
Wintertime driving conditions in many parts of the country call for special tires , sometimes chains to pull in snow and ice – as well as to stop in both a short distance safely. Without question, snow tires increase traction for both pulling and stopping on both ice and snow. There are two reasons at least for this – the deep groves and the much larger tire footprint areas. On ice and packed snow this larger "footprint" often means much more than any differences in tread design and designs. That being said winter-time tire studs, although once very popular, are now relatively uncommon among seasonal drivers, due to their destructive effects on roads and highways and are not legal in many precincts. While there are specialized tools available to yank out those tungsten metal tire studs , your set of winter seasonal tires may be at the end of their tread life anyways. You may just want to pick up a set of new replacement tires at a local Vancouver Canadian "Big Box Store" or OEM factory authorized auto dealer parts center. Yet another economical means is to source out a set of good low km used winter tires online. Yet if you are traveling out of state or province to a jurisdiction where the treads are both legal and essential for mountain driving safety you may want to keep two sets of winter tires on different sets of rims. An excellent resource for lower mainland BC , Surrey, Coquitlam & Maple Ridge auto owners of all models and brands for winter tire selection and deals can be found at this online website link.
One point to note and remember – winter tires , can be noisy on dry pavement – never mind the clicking sound emanating from studded tires at high traffic speeds. On the other side of the road so to speak – the nosier the tread design or designs the overall better performance on the roadway by your wintertime tires in the snow. Compromise to reduce noise also reduces tire and vehicle pulling power in loose snow and mud driving conditions. All in all it can be said by auto service and vehicle safety experts , that full-circle , welded-lug chains provide several times more pulling power than even the most highly rated , and expensive snow tires , but are of course a lot less convenient and even unsightly for automobile owners and motorists. If there is one lesson in life its plan early. Most people whether its for their income tax , or automotive repair or maintenance wait till the very last minute. Its a case of putting out fires or management by crisis.
You can bet when that on that very day of the cold snap , when the snowstorm / blizzard arrives that the wait for the CAA or AAA rescue tow truck will be hours and hours . On top of that just venture into the icy parking lot or service repair area of your local Canadian tire only to find that out the long waiting times involved for even an estimate for your vehicle. On top of that it does not take a genius to spot that with all the frost covered windows of frozen vehicle out there on the lot that you are really at the end of line when it comes to auto repair service. Spare yourself the inconvenience and delays that are unnecessary. Plan ahead , early for your winter tune up and to buy snow tires and winter time tyre chains long ahead of the first storm and the maddening rush.
Lastly what about tire chains? Not every driver knows how or wants to under their vehicle to put them on. If there is one simple and practical point it can be said about tire winter time chains is that when buying chains purchase them early – way ahead of the winter time driving seasons. Pleasant and safe driving.
In the United States and Canada, a "snowflake on a mountain" symbol means that the tire has exceeded the industry requirement from a reference (non-snow) tire. In the BC Canadian area factory approved winter snow tires can be purchased and installed via this website link

As we waited for the green flag, the dude rolled down his window to expel some cigarette smoke, and out with the smoke came some of the best-sounding Bob Seger that I'd heard come from a car audio system. I didn't see that one coming—his choice in music or the quality of those tunes. I'm guessing that fella couldn't get $500 for that car if he were giving away his girlfriend with it, but there's little doubt he has a sound system hiding within that was easily valued at three times that much. I would've opted to foot some cash for a hood with less rust or a tail light that required less duct tape for operation, but apparently he valued his tunes. The light finally turned green, and I gave him a thumbs-up as I left him sputtering at the starting line.
When I got home, I pulled the new North American Hunter custom AR from the back of my truck and headed for the gun safe. As I removed the gun from its case, I admired it and realized the Corolla-driving thug might not be as backward as he originally seemed. In the shooting world, there are a pile of opinions about how much one should spend on a high-quality riflescope to complete a rifle setup. I've actually heard shooters—whose opinions I value—talk about spending three times the value of the gun on a scope to put on that gun. Now, I don't know about all that, but I do know the most accurate rifles are completely worthless without a good scope companion.
When my Web Editor, Josh Dahlke, came to me with the news of giving away a sweet DPMS/North American Hunter AR, my immediate question—after wiping the drool from my beard—was in regard to his optics plan for the giveaway. When he told me to figure it out, I made an immediate call to Wisconsin to talk with my Vortex Optics buddy.
Let me make a promise to you now that this blog will never—ever—turn into a product whoring venue, but when I come across something fantastic, whether it's gear or tactics or whatever, I'm compelled to spread the gossip. If a friend of mine came across some secret that drastically improved his hunting success and didn't tell me about it, I'd be pissed. Get what I'm sayin'?
And for whatever reason, Vortex has been a bit of a secret—at least with most people I talk optics with—and I have no idea why. I hunted whitetails with a Vortex scope last fall along the Missouri River in South Dakota, where deer hunting tactics almost exclusively involve taking a sniper's perch high in the river breaks … and great optics can make or break a hunt. Those optics made my hunt.
And that's exactly what I wanted atop the custom AR package we're giving away. Chambered for 5.56 NATO (and it accepts any .223 Rem. round, too), I asked for a 2.5-10X scope, and that's the exact configuration I got when a Vortex Viper HS landed on my desk from Phil, our mail-delivery master, the following day. This gun is a coyote's worst nightmare, and I'm going to cry like a baby when I have to take it out of my safe and give it away to the winner.
Don't get me wrong: This gun is no Corolla—it's more like a brand-new Silverado. And with this scope, it's like adding $10,000 worth of after-market accessories. In the right hands, any rogue 'yote that hangs up within 400 yards is going to be in serious trouble.
Keep your nose to the wind—and stay tuned this week at HuntingClub.com for the AR giveaway. When it drops, you'd better sign up to win before I change my mind and keep this rig.

I work with the german-based CMS which called Contao to ensure that my clients have total control over their websites. I'm really skilled in that. All time of the project i completely round it up with things dance around the screen. With other words, i use Jquery and CSS3.
I create websites that look good, offer great usability and functions as they should. I also redesign your old website if it needs a complete makeover. I'm up to date with the newest design trends and develop further every day. I know what looks good today.
Mobile Devices
I think every modern website should now work effectively across a wide range of mobile devices. Layouts should change, images and text should be modified for smaller screens and anyone visiting your websites should can use it with any device. The magic word is 'Responsive".
HEY! I'm Marcel Boer, a German-based Designer & Developer focused on creative Projects.
Every customer I work with, is unique. And therefore every customer should also get a product what is also unique. Before i start with a new project, I always think to myself about the realization and the goals of your new website. Because, it isn't just another website in the internet. It is yours!
One of the most important things in my life is skateboarding. And to connect that with my creativ thinking, i film skateboarding with pleasure since 2012. Most of my freetime I spent my time with that. Not to earn money, just to hang out with my friends and create some nice footage.
I will be available for work soon. But for now, feel free to contact me if you are interested in working with me. Either by e-mail or on facebook. It's your choice.

Edgwarebury Park
Edgwarebury Park is a 22 hectare park in Edgware in the London Borough of Barnet.[1] It was once part of the manor of Earlsbury, which was first mentioned in 1216.[2] In the later Middle Ages it was owned by All Souls College, Oxford, and there is still evidence of the older landscape of fields and woodland. Hendon Rural District and Middlesex County Council bought the land in two parts in 1929 and 1932, and the park opened in the latter year. It is now owned and managed by Barnet Council.[3]
The park has extensive sports facilities, a playground and ornamental gardens. During the 1990s, Watling Chase Community Forest planted a new block of woodland in the north east corner. Edgwarebury Brook runs down the western side, with Edgware Way Grassland adjacent.[3][4]
Edgwarebury Park is a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation, its most distinctive feature being its magnificent old hedgerows. Fine old oak and ash trees tower over the bushes, and the wild service-tree is an indicator of the hedgerows' antiquity. The park is an excellent site for birdwatching. Species include song thrush, mistle thrush, great spotted woodpecker and whitethroat.[4]
There is access from Edgware Way and Edgwarebury Lane.
