Call Montville septic tank cleaning contractors to professionally and efficiently pump the tank clean and safely dispose the waste. This is important for health and sanitary reasons, do not allow the tank to overflow! This tank is used for on-site storage and disposal of biological waste and how often it needs to be cleaned depends on the size of the tank and the size of the family. The more people using the toilets, the more often the tank has to be pumped and cleaned.
Choose only the best Montville septic tank cleaning services for your needs. Getting the septic tank cleaned regularly is a must to avoid the contamination of your surroundings. These tanks are designed to hold solid waste and allow the liquids to flow into a leaching area to get absorbed into the soil. If these tanks are not cleaned regularly, the solids will not decompose fast enough and will begin clogging your leaching area, causing failure of the entire system and expensive replacements.
Montville septic tank cleaning contractors are experienced professionals and can carry out tank cleaning with both pumps and bacteria or other biological organisms based cleaners that are capable of breaking down the various materials that need handling. Never take a chance when it comes to the cleaning of the tanks. Ignoring this can cause the whole system to fail and contaminate the soil and water sources around your home. Call for the best professionals without delays!

Allowing the tank to go too long without pumping out the solid waste can cause serious contamination of the surroundings and is not a safe and sanitary practice.

Can your kid tie their own shoes?
January 2013
Posts: 242
My oldest is almost 9 (like 3 weeks away) and she flat out refuses to learn to tie her shoes.If my husband or I sit down with her and try to show her she cries like some one is chewing her limbs off. She wears sneakers that velcro and she has dress shoes and boots. She tells me there is no reason to learn to tie her shoes. There is this pair of shoes she's been dying for they're like converse and they're tall and lace all the way up. (if I was using the computer I'd post a pic) well I told her that I'll buy them for her as soon as she learns to tie because the shoes have laces. Well she googled them and found an off brand that look the same but have a zipper up the side. Now she wants those. Obviously I'm never letting her use google again lol. So how do I get her interested in learning to tie her shoes? She doesn't care that she's the only one out of her friends that can't and bribing doesn't work because she'll google her way out of it. Are there other older kids out there just not interested? I

Short answer: DS9 No. DS5 No. They are both developmentally delayed.

Hmm that's a tough one! Maybe take her on an adventure day, to a rock climbing wall or on a boat. Its not just shoes she needs to learn about. Teach her the importance of being able to tie knots securely.

I like
's suggestion. But I wouldn't get her the zipper shoes either. Why reward her refusal to even try?
Mine both can, but my son was a bit of a late Bloomer with the shoe tying. He's in 6th grade and only learned thus past summer. When my sister, his favorite aunt, bought him the Reebok's (I think they were Reebok's) with the bright yellow soles. He loved them, and wanted to use them for school, but said he wouldn't until he could tie them so he wouldn't be embarrassed. So I taught him the two loop method that I use. It worked, he wears those shoes to school proudly.
There is nothing to be gained from treating others poorly.
Don't be a dick.

My ds8, just learned this past summer, before he started 3rd grade. And, they still aren't very good. He loves the velcro shoes, so I still buy those. You don't have to worry about them coming untied and tripping over them, lol

Both girls learned in the month before kindergarten. So one was almost six and the other was turning six.

DD7 learned just before she started first grade, because she wanted a pair of twinkle toes or whatever they're called - the sneakers that light up - and we told her we wouldn't buy her a pair until she learned. So she did. It still takes her a fricking hour to tie her shoes, though. Next year I'm going with velcro just to avoid an ulcer.

DS 5 can't DS 13 can but he does it oddly . I don't know how he does it. Not the way I was taught , that's for sure. A guy at church taught him. He is super slow. We bought some things to go in his shoes they are actually called , Hickies . Lol. So now he doesn't have to tie them. It is just a whole lot easier ! He has issues with small moter skills. Add to that his shoes came untied all the time and his lack of depth perception and it's just safer too.

I remember learning to tie my shoes at 5 because my friend who was a year older taught me. Then I was able to tie the ribbons on my dolls dresses and was so proud of myself! It's funny how those memories come back to you. Has she any older cousins or anything who could teach her?

Ds 4 not quite but not from lack of trying he just gets soooo frustrated about it. But he has the want to learn it and I am determined he will know before kindergarten this fall.

I'm working on teaching DS5 right now. SO wants to just buy the velcro shoes, but he *needs* to learn. He's not going to wear velcro shoes in high school or at work is he? I learned in 2nd grade...I'm hoping to teach my boys before then. Honestly, though, I have no advice.

my mil works in a crèche and she says very similar things to me about the kids there. I'm not saying that's what the OP is doing, I'm just responding to your post. She has kids of 4 and 5 who can't open their own yogurt or peel a banana. She's frequently astonished by what my 2 year old can do because she's always been so independent and I let her do everything for herself as much as I can. It's sad that some kids are allowed become so lazy. (Again NOT directed at the OP as I don't know your circumstances).

Oh, I wasn't inferring the op was either, and I hope I didn't come off like that. More thinking about kids as a whole and how society is in general. Trust me, I am not perfect, and I really hope I didn't offend anyone.

Not really offended , not really. DS 13 has small moter skill issua and has to have many things done for him. In a pinch he can manage but I do a lot if stuff for him. He can tie his shoe , but I did it a lot because it was faster. He can open a bottle of drink but I usally do it. No strenth in his hands. He prefers the pants that have either one of the slider fasteners or jus elastic waist because he has issues with buttons on pants. We have gotten pretty good about working around his weakness. Yes I am teaching him how to do these things because I Wong be there all the time to do them but I will still help him some. Especialy when we are in a hurry.

That's what I thought. I have constant arguments with Stbxh though. He thinks I shouldn't be helping DS at all ! He does not understand that he has issues. He is just now starting to agnoledge that he has autism.
So all is good.
DS 5 is learning things like how to peel a bannana and open his own drink. He has the juice box down and is close to the bannana. It tends to escape or try to escape so it's best for him to do it over a plate. He has a bannana slicer that he loves to use. Then has to use a fork to eat the bannana. He won't walk around and eat it it has to be sliced. Odd boy ! He is all mr independent now lol. He likes to make his own pizzas and butter his own bread. We are teaching DS 13 how to use the oven because his favorite meal is an oven baked chicken breast. He is so happy when he cooks for himself. ( both of them )

My dd learned when she was 5. She wanted a pair of pink glitter high tops. I bought them on the condition she could not wear them in public if she did not tie them herself and if they were not worn for two weeks they would be returned to the store. She learned how to tie her shoes in one weekend.

Totally not offended. Honestly I think she's lazy. She can use the microwave, make a sandwich, open a drink even use a can opener but refuses to tie her shoes. It's just frustrating. She's going to be 9 darn it.

My 11, 9, & 6 yr old's can, 4 yr old cant. 6 year old learned last year,
. In his kindy class they encourage you to learn, if you learn you are made a shoe sheriff. Meaning kids who can't tie yet can come to you, instead of the teacher to get help. His teacher made a really big deal about it. I'm actually surprised that so many ( minus those that have any sort of delay) don't know how. I make sure my kids learn. Honestly I would not buy Velcro/ zipper shoes or boots until my child learned to tie shoes, of they are over the normal age for learning. Now if they have some delay or other reason that makes learning difficult, then I say go ahead, if its pure laziness, I'd quit making it easy. This is just my opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree with me though

I remember having these boards that had a pic of a shoe and was laced like a shoe. A lot of kids learned on that. My dad taught me before I was in school, but my DD8 would not learn for the longest time. I think she was almost 7 before she finally let her dad teach her. But it was insanely frustrating. I'm trying to teach my kids the manual way to do a lot of things. It seems like so many kids are being raised with instant gratification that it's a bit of a disservice to them.

DD10 just learned last year after I refused to buy her velcro shoes anymore. Plus, I would only let her wear her sneakers until she learned to tie her shoes. DD7 figured it out on her own last year, actually before DD10. She was fantastic at it! I guess it all depends on the kid. I'm a teacher at the middle school level, and I am constantly amazed at how many of my students can't tie their shoes or tell time on a clock!

When I was growing up, there was a universal list of shit you HAD to be able to do before starting school. Know all your colors, count to 100, recite the abc's/days of the week/months of the year, write your name, wipe your own ass and tie your shoes. Not sure when all that eas no longer a standard......but made sure all my skids mastered that list by 5.

DS *attempted* around the 4-5 age, but it was truly terrible and he couldn't go around like that. We just had him keep working on it (DH & I were all amazed with this no-shoe-tying, no-clockface-reading stuff too!). He can do it now well enough to go to school and retie when needed, but as I said it seems to take appx a year to git er done. He can also read a clockface

Mine learned to tie their shoes in Headstart (preK). It was through no actual effort of my own, I assure you.
I'm trying to teach Spawn now (he's 3) and so far, he's mastered making one hell of a messy knot LOL The bunny ears, swoop thing, just doesn't compute yet for him.
My two oldest stepsons didn't learn how to tie their shoes until they were like 10 and 11, and wore velcro-fastening shoes, dress shoes, or cowboy boots. (I'd never heard of such, and was just dumbfounded at their not knowing, at their age.)
I saw this on Pinterest the other day and thought it was a cute idea:

DS8 has been able to for a couple years, DS7 refuses to try. He is sooooo frustrating at times. Gives up and cries about a lot of things to get out of it. Reading, hanging up clothes, tying shoes. And many other things. Ggrrrrr!!!!!

DH told me that when he was in first grade, he was kept in from recess on the first day of school because he didn't tie his own shoes. Obviously this wasn't they covered in kindergarten. His mother was mortified when she found this out in the last few years. She said she would have vigilant about teaching him if she had known that would happen.

I learned when I was in 2nd grade I think. My mom had completely given up on teaching me but my big brother taught me. He also taught me how to ride my bike. Ok I was 13 when I did that.
Here is my big secret. The person who taught me how to read an anolg clock was ....... DH. No one ever taught me ! Not a teacher , not my mom , no one. I did not know how to do it. I just always had digital . I asked him what time it was and he showed me his watch and it was analog ! I asked again and he showed me again and I'm like , and what time is it ???? He wa so shocked ! So yep There it is I was 20 years old when I learned how to read a clock face. I wear an analog watch now , still have to look at it for a second to figure it out when I'm sleepy. I swear I'm not stupid ! No one ever taught me. Mom said I just wouldn't listen. I don't remember them trying.

DD10 yes, DS8 no, DD7 no.
With DS, its a struggle to get him to find his shoes let alone have time for him to practice, I dread the day he wants shoes that tie and wants to do it himself but its always a time issue, we're just always in a rush. DD7 let's me tie hers and I plan to teach them both this summer. DD10 learned at age 6 but she was interested and wouldn't let me do it for her anymore.
You and me, we go way back.

DS7 knows how to tie his shoes. It just depends on his mental state if he can at the particular moment.
I have been working with DS5. He has mastered zipping his coat & manipulating the buttons on his pants but is getting very frustrated at the whole shoe tying ordeal. And once he gets it, I'll move on to DS4 (he's working on reliably wiping his butt lol).

Along with the no tie thing she can't ride a bike. She got a brand new bike for christmas 2 years ago and she's never touched it. When she has friends over they ride it. I don't know if she's even capable of doing it she just doesn't try. She can ride a bike with training eheels tho but at her age I refuse to put training wheels on her bike. She can roller skate and ride a scooter tho.

We literally had to force my son to learn. It was hell, but it is now his favorite thing to do. He keeps asking when spring is so he can ride. That's why I stand by my thoughts that it's important to make kids learn to do things they think are hard.

She's got it in her head that without training wheels it'll be too hard. The bike thing doesn't frustrate me as much as the tieing but it still bugs me. I don't push her to ride her bike but when it's nice out (not for another 6 months...its 4 below here now) I ask if she'd like to try and it's always nope. That's it just nope.

That is what he said...it would be too hard. One day last spring, my husband and I took snacks snd water outside and said that's all we were doing all day long. We took bathroom breaks and lunch breaks, but no tv, no other games, etc. He crie at first then realized we were serious. He could ride by 1,pm(started at about 10 am) training wheel free. He was so happy and we ceebrated with ice cream with my parents, and he was bragging to all the neighbors. I learned to ride late(and tie shoes) because I was sort of the same way as a kid. I always eished my parents just made me. I acted like I didn't care, but I really,I felt dumb around my friends.
I had to do the same with the shoes. I wasn't sure if it was the right thing at the time, but I think it was. He is a happy kid.

my sister NEVER rode a bike when we were little. We grew up in a small town and that is what you did, I rode my bike everywhere, that was one of the best gifts growing up. I still don't think she can ride one.

Neither of my girls can tie their shoes. They are 8 (will be 9 in May) and my little one just turned 5. They aren't even interested.

I remember being in kindy and asking a random passing teacher (she taught first grade) to tie my shoes at recess. She delayed whatever it was she was on her way to do and spent the entire recess teaching me how, and it worked. Told me she'd rather spend the time to get me through it than spend the next year as my teacher doing it for me. As it turned out I didn't end up in her class.
Ds3 has shown an interest, but no skill at all, and DD is 2 days from 2, no attempt yet.

Project - A Shot From My Summer Vacation by LightkeepersDaughter posted 08/19/09 at 10:52 PM Galleries: Photography This is a shameless request for an ego boost! I took this shot, out on a fishing trip with my brother and his wife, in July. I have it on my desktop at work - and today, a colleague asked me if I'd taken the picture. When I replied "yes", her response was "Wow! - you must have an amazing camera!" Well - yes - I do love my Rebel T1i - and photography is just my hobby - but, I thought maybe the photographer might have helped a little bit! :) So……..if you're so inclined, I'd appreciate your encouragement…. :) Rosemary |

Comments about Cordoba 6 Drawer Chest:
This piece is extremely heavy, which is really a plus as to being solidly built, etc. We had to move it upstairs, so that was a problem, but not a fault of the piece. We wanted storage space for sweaters & out of season separates. It is fine for that purpose.

She's the voice of people from all walks of life — from murder defendants to those fighting traffic violations — and in the past five years, court interpreter Ofelia Sandoval has seen it all.
The 36-year-old Atwater native sat next to a Planada woman on trial for murder, kidnapping and child endangerment for the past two months.
The high-profile case wasn't Sandoval's first murder trial — it was the fourth felony murder trial she's handled since taking the job.
Sandoval provided translation services to Spanish-speaking defendant Maria Teresa Ceja Robles, from her arraignment to the verdict. Robles and her ex-boyfriend were found guilty of killing a woman and stealing her infant.
For eight consecutive days, Sandoval relayed Ceja Robles' emotional testimony to jurors, while still translating every word spoken by the judge, attorneys and other witnesses.
"In the courtroom, they have to shift between the two languages all the time," said Court Executive Officer Linda Romero Soles. "Being an interpreter is a very important job in the courtroom, and their position requires them to have strong memory and communication skills."
It was a big undertaking for Sandoval, especially in a trial that had themes of bestiality, extreme abuse and a heinous murder.
But through it all, Sandoval remained calm and kept her "poker face" on — which isn't always easy. "You're on the stand and things come up and sometimes they're sad or funny," Sandoval said. "And you have to not show emotion on the stand. Sometimes that's difficult."
Before becoming a court interpreter, Sandoval worked as an elementary school librarian. The mother of two still participates in story time and other activities at local schools.
' ... We're all human'
Sandoval's background of working with children makes it especially difficult to provide interpretation for cases involving crimes against kids.
"Many times on the stand my eyes get teary because we're all human," Sandoval said. "It doesn't mean you don't hurt for the victim or their families. But in the courtroom, you have to be 100 percent unbiased."
Sandoval, who is an employee of the courts, does more than just provide Spanish-English translation. She also interprets pauses, nuances and inflections — sometimes at speeds of more than 180 words per minute.
"You just convey what they say, you're not there to clean anything up," Sandoval said.
Merced County District Attorney Larry Morse II said those inflections were especially prevalent during the Ceja Robles murder trial. "It's very challenging because they have to also be able to convey the emotion of what was said," Morse said. "Ms. Ceja's manners would rise and fall based on the question, and Ofelia had to absorb what was said and convey it to the jury in the most accurate way possible."
Morse said he experienced many exhausting days during the two-month homicide trial, but realized Sandoval's days were even more difficult.
"I can't even imagine how physically draining it must have been for her," Morse said. "Translators are unsung heroes in the criminal justice system."
Grateful to deputies
Sandoval said she considers the Sheriff's Department deputies to be heroes — especially during an incident in 2008 when they stopped a man who ran through security with a butcher knife. Deputies shot him as he tried to enter Presiding Judge Brian McCabe's courtroom.
"It was a miracle and it was because of the deputies' training and experience that no one got hurt," Sandoval said. "I want to publicly thank them for that."
Amid the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly, Sandoval has become a vital part of the Merced County Superior Court system.
"I think because she's a seasoned interpreter. She's always done a professional job for the court," Romero Soles said.
Morse agreed. "I can't imagine an interpreter having more of a challenge than this trial — all of the interpreters conducted themselves with just incredible professionalism," he said.
But after it's all said and done, Sandoval does her best to leave what she's heard in the courtroom. "You just get used to it after a while," she said. "I still have a heart. You just learn not to take it home with you."

The MagazineThe Debate WinnerHow the Republican contests help Obama.Dec 19, 2011, Vol. 17, No. 14
• By FRED BARNES
Romney, more often than his rivals, was declared the winner of debates. But he turns out to be a loser. He was too cautious, declining to make a strong pitch for conservatives and thus broaden his base of support. Gingrich was expansive and had nothing but praise for the other candidates. He was the big winner of the debate sweepstakes. Along with Obama. He's marketed, with some success, the notion that the 2012 election is a choice between the rich and the middle class. Caught up in debates, Republicans have been too busy to give this notion the drubbing it deserves. Fred Barnes is executive editor of The Weekly Standard.

Romania will not ratify the highly controversial (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement)ACTA until the agreement won't be altered as to comply with demands recently formulated by the European Court of Justice, the minister of Communication Dan Nica told a press conference today (Thurs).
A day earlier, Prime Minister Ponta said the Cabinet is not going to endorse the agreement as his government has to make sure that the provisions of such an agreement will not harm the individual freedoms and the privacy of each citizen.
Romania signed ACTA last October together with 21 other nations in Japan. Since then, following massive protests, several EU countries announced they ditched the agreement because it does not protect the freedoms and the free circulation of ideas.
ACTA was initiated by Japan and the United States with the aim to fight counterfeited goods and computer piracy as well as the film and movie industry piracy.
Its provisions however galvanised the online community who accused the promoters of the agreement of trying to control the internet and infringe the privacy of internet users by forcing internet providers to spy and report on the activities of the users.
Romanians staged massive protests trying to force the previous right-wing cabinet to ditch the agreement.

Former South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia recalls his time with the Gamecocks as very difficult because (head coach Steve Spurrier) is very tough to play for, Garcia said this week in a wide-ranging podcast interview with OutkickTheCoverage.com.
It was a tough gig, and I didnt handle it very well, Garcia said. It was very high pressure at all times, and I didnt help myself by getting in trouble as soon as I set foot on campus.
Garcia mostly shouldered the blame for his rocky tenure at the school, during which he threw for 7,597 yards, third-most in school history.
I was (darn) immature back then and hard-headed, he said. I wish I could take back some of the things I did up there. I think my life would be a little bit different than it is right now if I could.
Garcia touched on many subjects during the 42-minute conversation, including the events that led to some of his five suspensions, former teammate Marcus Lattimore, the Gamecocks win over then-No. 1 Alabama and even Jadeveon Clowney.
He also addressed his dismissal from the team, which he again said was due to failing an alcohol test during a probationary period.
Former South Carolina athletics director Eric Hyman says you failed your alcohol test so you are dismissed from the team. It was pretty tough to deal with. My immediate thought was, Now what? No NFL team is going to take a shot on me because of all the past indiscretions.
About his suspension from his final spring practice for a violation of team rules at the previous seasons bowl game, Garcia said he and a teammate had girls in their room past curfew on the first night of the teams stay in Atlanta.
The whole (rumor) about being drunk and it being the night before the game that was completely inaccurate, he said.
Garcia told the website he is training in an effort to take one more shot at a professional football career after being kicked off the South Carolina team in 2011 and then making a brief appearance on the roster of the CFLs Montreal Alouettes.
Im getting the itch back, he said.
If that doesnt work out, the military is not out of the question, he said.
Garcia recapped his recruiting process during the interview, including late interest shown by Oklahoma.
Looking back, maybe that would have been a better idea, Garcia said.
Garcia still enjoys the No. 20 Gamecocks success, he said.
Its awesome being an alum, but I just wish things had ended a little better for me, Garcia said.
Spurrier sold Garcia on the idea of building a tradition at South Carolina, said Garcia, who said friends tried to steer him away from the Gamecocks by saying Spurriers college quarterbacks rarely found success in the NFL.
Me being hard-headed, I said, Forget that, I am going to set a new mold, he said.
The recruiting process turned out to be much different than his college experience, he said.
Its a lot different when you get to the school, thats for sure, he said.

he's married. he married her. he fucking married her… old news at this point and yet these thoughts cross my mind and i am so angry… just rollin down the road havin a fine time blastin some bitchin blues and then - and suddenly i am so fucking angry.
1 year agoand if you do think of me… you think of how much I have always loved you and of how much I believed in you and in us and you think of how long I waited for you and of how I love you even still even as write this even as you read this even as you think of this know that somewhere I am loving you as I have do always will and you think of my deathbed scene with no mate to grieve me and no children to continue me… you think of me dying alone.
1 year ago…close enough to be distracting. I'm 500 miles from home - from you - and this is the first time I've "found" you in a stranger's face… still, I am not surprised.
But the wave of missing you I felt with this recognition was shocking in both its suddeness and strength.
So here I am, standing in a corner tumblr-ing about you instead of making an effort to find the man who'll help me forget that you've been the only one I wanted to spend my forever with for most of my adult life (and for most of those teenage years before).
2 years agoWhen I say forever it is not because I mean it in the present moment. It is because I am committed to meaning it in the future.
This is obviously based on the feelings and beliefs of the present, but feelings and beliefs change. Without deeper commitment, such things change and don't change back. Past forevers come to an end. Previous promises become lies.
My forevers are forever.
Not talkin' 'bout a year
No not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
In my life anymore
Forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it end
i miss you.
i miss the you that you
were when
you still wanted me.
i want you.
i want the you that you
were when
you still loved me.
i love you.
and still, i love you.
7 years since I last saw or spoke to him… I can't even remember when I last wrote him anything but unsent letters. Somehow it feels like I only completely comprehended this - how long it has been - after learning he had married someone else. My world felt (still kinda feels) like someone had pressed a fast forward button. And then they put it in slow motion…
Seven Years. These words were on heavy rotation in my mind that day. Except it was more like seven years! And as the day wore on I tended more towards saying them aloud while generally doing everything with more force than required.
open door… seven years. Wham!
move books to table… Slam! seven years.
climbing stairs… Stomp-stomp! seven Stomp! years.
… … … … … … …
Somehow - despite his silence - my waiting without wondering, my faith without facts… my belief that our life together was meant to be and therefore would be - eventually… became habit.
2 years ago | 2 notesI haven't had such fun listening to a song in a while - it's kinda like Nancy Sinatra on speed - and I've always loved this use of crazy. Thanks again Miranda for another great tune.
Go and fix your makeup
Girl it's just a breakup
Run and hide your crazy
And start actin' like a lady…
Leave it to me to be
Holdin' the matches
When the fire trucks show up and
There's nobody else to blame…
- "Mama's Broken Heart," Miranda Lambert
2 years ago | 1 noteI was beginning to think I had listened to "our" songs and sad relationship songs on replay enough times to become immune. Then this new song comes along to add a fresh perspective to the collection and, for a few moments, I am wrecked.
But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I'll be ok
But I'm not going to
ever get over you
- "Over You," Miranda Lambert
Yes, the guy in this song is dead, but you have to listen through to figure it out and I was in tears at the first chorus. "How dare you…" His death means this is not the break-up screaming "How DARE YOU!!!" Here, the anger is channeled through love - it is the sorrowful anger of grief.
I discovered this is a much better match for my emotion these days than any you-left-me-I-hate-you song. I've never hated anyone, certainly not the man I've loved more than any other (so far). However upset or crazy or pissed I would be (am) at times, my love for him was always there too. It still is even though he is not and so, despite his being very much alive, I grieve.
"How dare you? I miss you…" Perfect.
2 years ago | 11 notesHis last words to me were about calling me in the afternoon (so we could figure out a time to see each other).
He did not call. Not that afternoon. Not ever again.
His failure to do as he said transforming the very last words I ever heard from the love of my life - thus far - into an "I'll call you" brush off. I can not convince myself this was his intent as he was saying them.
I am too sad about this to be angry anymore.

Foundation 150 153rd Ave, Suite 300 Madeira Beach, FL 33708 |
Background on Childhood ObesityChildhood obesity continues to be a serious problem in the United States. Over the past 30 years the prevalence of overweight children has tripled. One in three American children remains overweight or obese. More than 12 million young people, aged two to nineteen years, are considered obese. Obese 10-14 year olds have an 80% chance of being obese as adults. Pediatricians are diagnosing diseases in overweight children that were once thought of, primarily, as "adult" diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and some types of cancer can be traced to obesity, poor diet and lack of physical activity. Even for children at a healthy weight, most have unhealthy diets that put them at risk for coronary heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, osteoporosis and other diseases. Only 2% of children (2 to 19 years) meet the five main recommendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a healthy diet. These guidelines emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products; includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts; and is low in saturated fats, trans-fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium) and added sugars. Children and teens typically over-consume calories, saturated fat, trans-fat, refined sugars and sodium. They under-consume fruits, vegetables and whole grain products. Three out of four American high school students do not eat the recommended 5- 9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. The reasons for these trends are many:
The obesity and diabetes (diabesity) epidemic seems hard to address on a big-picture level. However, research shows that small changes can result in major improvements in the health of individuals. These improvements, in turn, can help to reduce health care costs. Updated September 15, 2011 |

This is a big deal folks so keep this in mind before you take any compensation of ANY kind from Delta. Before you could use 3 ETV ( electronic travel vouchers ) per ticket per person.
Staring tomorrow the new "enhancement" will be only 1 per ticket. This has been confirmed by me from the Platinum Medallion line and others HERE and HERE !
I hope we all understand what this means? If two people say take a "bump" you can only use one ETV unless you split the reservation. And we know how good DELTA "IT" is so who knows if you will end up on the same flights etc!
You will see the change when it comes here:

11 Responses to "Breaking NEWS DELTA – starting tomorrow you can only use 1 voucher per ticket not 3!"
So to make sure I'm clear… if you have 3 – $100 vouchers and you have a flight you want to take for $300, historically you could have used all 3 and paid for the entire flight. Now, you will be able to use 1 and have to pay the cash for the remaining $200. You will need to have 3 flights in order to use all of your vouchers.
I can see this being a problem if you have a lot of vouchers that need to be used before expiring, but is there something I'm missing?
I sent them a note. Along with the difficulty getting low level award tickets it seems like it's becoming harder and harder to see the value proposition in Delta versus the competition.
Bumps on Delta are now useless. I will not take any bumps on Delta unless I am reaching my destination within an hour.
I just booked some cheap fares to extend / "convert" 2 ETKs I have.
Very glad I caught this tonight as I was planning to do this in a couple of weeks if I didn't find a use for them. They are much more valuable to me with the pre-12/15 terms.
The t's and c's have definitely been updated to call out the different terms for these before and after 12/15
Wow… I accumulated $1200 in Delta vouchers by volunteering to get bumped repeatedly over the course of 36 hours. But they were in small amounts. For example, when I was offered a $400 voucher to be bumped, I was given two $100 vouchers and a $200 voucher. No idea why, but it didn't matter to me at the time since you could use them together. Thankfully I used my last 3 to book a flight from London to the states next week!
I must not be reading this right…based on the link to Delta's page, it says that you can combine them at the bottom:
Can I combine the Certificates and eCredits I already have?
Some Certificates and eCredits can be combined, giving you a chance to redeem multiple Certificates for the same trip or for multiple passengers if your Certificate's terms and conditions allow it. If you have more than one Certificate to redeem:
Click the Redeem Multiple Certificates button.
Identify your Certificates by entering their Certificate numbers, along with any other required information. You can also enter your SkyMiles information to view all of the Certificates associated with your account.
Select the Certificates you'd like to redeem.

Roselawn Cemetery is Belfast's main municipal cemetery. It opened in 1954 and is also home to the City of Belfast Crematorium
Roselawn is currently the only graveyard we operate with new burial plots available. However, we only provide a grave burial service and do not offer natural burials in the cemetery.
For the third year running, Roselawn Cemetery has been awarded the Green Flag, which recognises the best open spaces in the UK. It is one of twelve of our parks, cemeteries and open spaces to receive this award.

After World War II, burial space at Belfast City and Dundonald Cemeteries was limited. Belfast Corporation (now the council) was forced to look outside the city boundaries to find a suitable site for another graveyard. They eventually bought land at Crossnacreevy from Down County Council and work began on the new burial ground. Roselawn Cemetery was laid out in 1952 as a 'lawn' cemetery and the ground was formally consecrated in 1954. Roses were planted along the main driveway, giving the site its name. In 1961, the City of Belfast Crematorium, the first of its kind in Ireland, opened its doors, with the first cremation taking place in July 1961. However, pressure on burial space continued and, in 1979, the cemetery was extended by 17 acres. Further land has been added over the years, and the site has been landscaped with lakes to make it more appealing to visitors.
The cemetery contains the remains of an ancient ráth or ringfort. A ráth is a fortified settlement made of earth. The site at Roselawn is believed to be from the Iron Age or early Christian period.
Search burial records online using our search facility.Search for burial records in Belfast from 1869 onwards. Around 360,000 records are available from Belfast City Cemetery, Roselawn Cemetery and Dundonald Cemetery.
Among those buried in Roselawn Cemetery are Northern Ireland footballer George Best (1946-2005) and Unionist MP James Kilfedder (1928-1995). The site also contains graves connected to the Troubles, including those of police and prison officers, soldiers and victims of the Abercorn Restaurant, Oxford Street and La Mon House Hotel bombings.

Construction jobs are gone. We're not going to do much more rampant over-development for a while (hopefully).
As long as we depend on Big Development for jobs, FLA will stay in a Depression. We need to give diverse businesses reasons to relocate here. The hype for health-biotech fad is just another handout for Big Development to build more. Plenty of office parks and industrial zones sitting vacant ready for for-profit job-creating companies.
We need to cut the good-old-boy cronyism so that companies can be confident they are entering a level playing field and welcome in FLA.

The story on Rick Scott and what the fraud was actually about:
In the early 1990s, Rick Scott was one of the most vocal critics of Hillary Clinton's health care plan (a.k.a. HillaryCare). Under Bill Clinton's administration a myriad of ambiguous and complex Medicare regulations were created. Full compliance was not feasible. It was more a game of gotcha and revenue than of law enforcement. The government was criticized in the media for classifying simple mistakes as "fraud." Dozens of prestigious health care institutions paid millions in fines, including Yale Hospital, Duke University Hospital, Harvard University Hospitals, University of Chicago Hospitals, Johns Hopkins, and industry giants Tenet and Columbia/HCA.

Neither he nor Ribio are going to be effective in reducing imports from China or manufacturing things here. We don't produce anything here anymore. We consume and give China tax breaks to boot to take our jobs.
Even many of our American Flags are made in China by the lowest bidder.

Thanks for the help fighting hunger
We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the civic organizations, businesses, commands and community members who helped to make our "Christmas in July Food and Fund Drive" a success.
We received just over $15,000 in cash donations and 9,400 food items during the month. This drive was originally started because we see a decrease in the amount of donations during the summer months with people taking vacations, having company and attending all the events of the season, etc.
Unfortunately, hunger doesn't take a vacation. We have seen a 10 percent increase in requests for food and a five percent decrease in the food donations we have received compared to this same time last year.
From all of us here at Help House, please accept our sincerest thanks for your continued support of Help House. We would not be able to keep feeding the hungry in our community without you.

ColdCraft Effects Sweet Kiwi
ColdCraft Effects
The first of our limited run Custom Shop effects is the Sweet Kiwi, a thick, modern Fuzz/Distortion with plenty of girth, bite and harmonic content to take your riff rock to the next level. Dead simple two-knob operation puts no-frills tone at your fingertips.
Based on cascading power amp designs, the Sweet Kiwi has all the thick fuzz and volume boost needed to stand out. 3 stages power the Kiwi, combining op amp clipping for musical sizzle and power amp stages for thick, juicy muscle. The fuzz control increases the input drive to the power stages. The combination is best described as a fuzzy, saturated amp.
Used as a standalone effect, it's equally at home with clean, semi or dirty amps. You can also stack the Kiwi after your boosts, overdrives and other filter effects for even more over the top, singing lead tones, even those ratty, raspy, low gain fuzzes that we all love for our riff rock. The bass content is thick and strong, fitting for all sorts of power chords, riffs and leads.
