We're not sure what to make of these three races on Dragtimes featuring a Corvette ZR1, a couple of Mercedes, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, and a Porsche 911 TurboS. In the first race, the two Mercedes square off with the expected results, the E63 AMG tuned by Evotech with 730-hp leaving the stock S65
Ordinarily you'd think a stock Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 would be able to take on just about any comers. But a recent quarter-mile run at Palm Beach International Raceway during the StreetCarDrags.com event breaks that mold as a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon gets off to an unbelievable start and goes on to whip the Corvette. The ZR1
Team Penske driver Ryan Briscoe averaged 226.484 mph to win the pole for this Sunday's 96th Annual Indianapolis 500. While that time guarantees he'll be starting at the head at the field, there are some other benefits that the Indy pole sitter enjoys like getting the opportunity to run some hot laps in the 2013

Although we had booked the cheapest accommodation and no upgrade available we settled into our camp chairs enjoying our bottle of red wine surrounded by birdsong and the occasional crimson breasted shrike coming to feed on our rye biscuits. Our dinner was delicious and after our hot shower we snuggled into our tent for a good night sleep. Next time we will upgrade to a more spacious room but will certainly return.

I spent less time wallowing in self pity and more time snowshoeing today. It worked out a lot better for me. The trail hadn't been broken since the big snowfall yesterday (about a foot at the trail head ... and seemingly exponentially more as it went higher.) I was buried to my shins in soft powder, swinging my hips dramatically to take the strain off my knees. The fluid motion felt vaguely familiar. I couldn't quite place it. It was like walking in quicksand, or running in a slow-motion dream. My arms skimmed snow drifts that topped out at shoulder level, sending clouds of ice crystals air-born. That's when I realized where I had felt this before. I was swimming.
I received a reply from the Fireweed 400 folks. They told me what I was expecting to hear ... No, you can't ride our race unsupported. But the assistant director, George Stransky, did take the time to write a thoughtful suggestion:
"Last year, a friend of mine entered the 200-miler (which we support with Aid Stations every 25 miles and discourage support vehicles and crew), then turned around and rode back to Sheep Mountain. He was not an official finisher of the 400 and did not qualify for RAAM or John Marino points, but he did ride the "400 miles" unsupported. He was just not part of the race. He did, however, get the T-shirt, recognition in the movie (see the interview with number 500), and the satisfaction of completing the distance. And, we were NOT responsible for him on his return journey from Valdez."
Sounds like a win-win situation. The thought of entering the shorter event crossed my mind. After 200 miles one way, I'd have to find some way back to the beginning. Why not just ride it? But as I considered it more, I thought ... why enter the race at all? If I'm not an official racer, why not just ride it at a more convenient time? Better yet, why not ride several hundred miles in a more convenient place? I've always wanted to ride the broken loop from Haines to Skagway. At 350 miles, it would be a good week-long tour. Or a crazy 36-hour sufferfest. I can't decide which would be more fun.
But deep down, I know the reason I enter races is to cement motivation for the long preparation. It would be too easy to drop out of a self-styled quadruple century. I have little doubt that I'd never do it, even if I set a date and bought a couple of ferry tickets. There's something about an actual race that brings heavy shame on the heads of the do-not-shows. Better to finish dead last than to not show up at all. Maybe it's those T-shirts they send you. ("Oh, you like this Fireweed 400 shirt? Isn't it cool? Well, no, I didn't race it, exactly. No, I was sitting on my couch, eating Oreos and watching the Food Network. But I entered it. And look, I got this RAAM mug, too! Can you believe they were five for $16.95 at Big Lots?") Who would dare wear a shirt from an event you paid for but never attended? You might as well just slap on a scarlet "L" for "Lazy."
Either way, I'm surprised I'm still considering it so seriously. I need my knee to heal up fast, and get back on my bike soon, before I enter anything crazy. The last thing I need is another T-shirt.

Pretty Little Liars Shocker: Who is A?!?by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
MEGA SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading right this instant if you are yet to watch this week's Pretty Little Liars summer finale.
Because... holy total and complete craziness, people!
Let's start with the first revelation: Ali is alive!
This one has sort of been hinted at in the past. Red Coat did save the girls last season and many of the Liars have believed their presumed dead pal was actually still breathing somewhere.
Turns out, she's been on the run ever since her disappearance, fearful of her life. From whom?
From Ezra most likely. BECAUSE EZRA IS A! We repeat: EZRA IS A!
Yes, we've been down this path before with Toby and Mona, but it makes some sense, doesn't it?
He didn't shy away from Aria after learning she was his high school student. He's been close to Aria all along, giving access to many secrets and facts.
He appeared on the Halloween train. He suddenly had a lot of cash after Jason wrote that check.
It's shocking, it changes everything, but it really may be that EZRA IS A.
Do you agree this really is it this time? As we count down to the Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Halloween special and the debut of Ravenswood, sound off now:
Is Ezra truly A?
Watch the following interview, only available to U.S. residents, for insight from the man behind A himself, Ian Harding:
Ali's mom is A!!!! Or is she not? 😆😏😏
It all makes sense.why aria was never majorly hurt,he has a cup that says a ,when in the begging he was riding his bike then when he pasted an a poster was there.And Marley king said that the answers will be revealed at 3b (Ezra's apartment )
Aria is a open your eyes peps
When in the trailer of an episode aria said who is this monster. I shouted "ask ya boyfriend" lol
(Not really funny though)
I don't think ezra is A because ali had problems with A and ezra appeared at rosewood Almost a year after har disappearance.
Because Ezra obvisly is A I think the girls should find out on the show
I think it makes complete sense that Ezra is A because A is a guy and its either Jason or him and he is really close to Aria

Getting Some Play: The makers of "Dear Esther" take on the rapture
Dear Rapture
After the amazing Steam sales that started off the summer, I was lucky enough to clear out some time to play Dear Esther this weekend. It's a decidedly unique experience, of course – an atmospheric first-person "story" with no violence or combat and an engaging, haunting narrative.
Developer thechineseroom is now hard at work on the title's spiritual successor, this time exploring the idea of the rapture, called, aptly, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.
From Beefjack.com:
Like its predecessor, it's being dubbed a "pure story game." But unlike in Dear Esther, you'll be able to do more than simply walk around. Rapture's world is all about interactions, and the way these interactions can shape the environment and the story it tells.
"The concept of it is this almost '60s-'70s Brit science fiction – this John Wyndham, John Christopher kind of thing – of how the end of the world would be responded to in a rural English location,' explains creative director Dan Pinchbeck. 'It's kind of like that film that was made after the Second World War about what would have happened if the Nazis had invaded – and actually, the film was so controversial because not a lot would actually change for the vast majority of people, or they'd just accept it really, really easily.'
These ideas got Pinchbeck thinking about the apocalypse, and how ordinary people would respond to its coming. "So we had this idea of going, 'Actually, if the world ended in a little village in Shropshire, it'd be inconvenient.'"
After the experience on Dear Esther's island, I'm very much looking forward to the next story/exploration based piece from thechineseroom.
We're in the downloadable dog days of summer now. But don't worry, that's far from a bad thing. On Wednesday, August 8, Xbox Live's Summer of Arcade continues with Hybrid, a third person shooter with funky, futuristic tech. It's developed by 5th Cell, the lovely folks who created Scribblenauts.
Also on the August 8, Hero Academy, the uber-addictive iOS tactical RPG, arrives on Steam. On August 14, the utterly delightful – and thematically deep – Papo and Yo is due out on PSN. On August 15, the gorgeous-looking Dust: An Elysian Tail arrives on XBLA.
By the middle of the month, AAA games will start trickling out. The party starts on August 14, with Darksiders II, the sequel to the best, most badass Zelda clone this side of Nintendo's official series. Sleeping Dogs – a hard-boiled action title set in Hong Kong. On the same day, The Last Story arrives on Wii – it's a hardcore RPG, and certainly one of the last "big" Wii games to hit the system. Finally, on August 19, the 3DS' next big thing – New Super Mario Bros. 2, arrives, as does the super-sized 3DS XL.

X5 Transmission Pan
Just had transmission pan (plastic) replaced on my 2008 X5 with 50K miles. Has anyone else had this expereience? Is this a recurring problem?
The transmission pan is PLASTIC??? Thats a first. I hope you had it replaced with a metal one! The transmission pan doesnt normally need replacement. However the gasgets need to be replaced if the pan is ever taken off. Replacing the filter is a good idea as well.

text: Democrats Not Sure They'll Participate in Benghazi Select Committee Print article Send a Tip by Kerry Picket 9 May 2014 post a comment House Democrats say they're still waiting by the phone for Speaker John Boehner's call, and until they hear from him, they cannot decide whether to participate in the Benghazi Select Committee to which Republicans were named Friday. "The speaker has not responded to respectful and reasonable requests for bipartisan standards. He has not responded. He did not return any phone calls that Leader Pelosi made to him yesterday. We are trying to find a way to make this work, but the Republicans have shown no inclination to make it work," Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) told reporters on Friday. Democrats want full access to the committee's documents and interviews, as well as input on who receives subpoenas. "If this is going to be a true bipartisan inquiry, we'll participate. If this is going to be a Republican campaign strategy, it's going to be harder for us to participate," Israel said, referencing the National Republican Campaign Committee's email to donors centered around the Benghazi Select Committee. When asked by Breitbart News to respond to Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's floor remarks Thursday that the accusation that the GOP is fundraising off the 2012 Benghazi attack is like the "pot calling the kettle black," Israel responded, "I don't know what she's talking about, quite honestly." Israel continued: We have asked the Speaker and his staff to consider a variety of options. I'm not going to talk publicly about what those options are, but we're looking forward to a reasonable response from the Speaker. ... The Republicans have passed a resolution creating a committee, but until the gavel is banged and the first meeting is held, there's room for us to discuss to make sure that this is fair and balanced and bi-partisan and not a witch-hunt. Israel, who is the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), repeatedly said Democrats were willing to involve themselves in the select committee, but may very well boycott if conditions they are offering Speaker Boehner are not met. Israel noted that Republicans should not have full control over determining the ratios, who gets subpoenaed, and who receives access to information. He also said: I believe we should participate, as long as we participate in something that is a truly balanced and bipartisan inquiry, but if the response by the Republicans is 'our way or the highway,' I don't know why we would want to participate in something. We have given them every opportunity and multiple chances to show us and work with us on a balanced and fair inquiry. And if every one of those requests has been met with rejection and partisanship, it would be very hard for us to participate. If Democrats do not participate in the select committee, however, they will not have access to subpoenaed documents immediately, either. "I'm hopeful that before we even get to that concern, that the Speaker and the Republican majority provides [sic] us with a process that's fair and balanced," Israel told Breitbart News.

Greektown businesses wary of economic effects of Circle Interchange reconstruction
BY TINA SFONDELES Staff Reporter email@example.com June 12, 2013 9:20PM
Greektown Chamber of Commerce President John Theoharis attends a meeting of business owners and Illinois Department of Transportation engineers Wednesday at the National Hellenic Museum. Business owners are concerned about the economic effects of Circle Interchange reconstruction plans that include rebuilding the Halsted Street bridge and create a flyover ramp. | Tina Sfondeles~Sun-Times
Updated: July 15, 2013 7:33PM
To John Theoharis, owner of two Greektown restaurants, Circle Interchange reconstruction will cause a traffic headache and create a physical separation that will ultimately cost business in an area that's just beginning to see an economic turnaround.
At the request of area business owners, Illinois Department of Transportation engineers participated in a fiery two-hour meeting Wednesday at the National Hellenic Museum to discuss plans to rebuild the Halsted Street bridge and create a flyover ramp — two lanes and two shoulders — above Halsted Street to get drivers from the northbound Dan Ryan Expy. to the westbound Eisenhower.
That's just part of the 4 1/2-year, $420 million project that will rebuild one of the nation's worst bottlenecks. Work on Halsted in Greektown could begin as soon as January. It will close one lane in each direction for eight to 12 months of construction.
"This is not a political thing," Theoharis, president of the Greektown Chamber of Commerce, told engineers. He said they didn't take into account the human factor, just the effect on traffic.
He argued that business owners have turned the area around economically and now they fear the repercussions that construction will bring.
"You have to understand where we are coming from," he said. "We came here when this area was burned out. We fixed it ourselves. We invested a lot of money in businesses, in homes. . . . Not many people believed in us."
He said the flyover will create a physical separation in the neighborhood, instead of encouraging CTA riders and University of Illinois at Chicago students to visit Greektown.
"UIC is part of our community as well. . . . I don't see how you guys thought of how it would affect my business, as far as construction, and also what it does to me. It basically separates me," said George Tsoukalas, owner of Athena restaurant. ". . . You're basically dividing us. You're splitting us down the middle. I don't care if there's an underpass underneath."
Engineers have narrowed the Halsted Street construction plans down to two, one of which would have created an underground ramp under Halsted Street. They said that plan would be unsafe because of roller-coaster type ramps and because flooding likely would be in underground tunnels.
Steve Schilke, IDOT project manager, told the group there is no choice but to replace the dilapidated cross bridges over Van Buren, Jackson, Adams and Monroe.
"At some point, the bridge needs to be replaced, so we have to replace it some day. That some day came within the next four years," Schilke said. "It came unfortunately for you, next year. And that is where it is, no matter what project, no matter what alternative plan is selected."
James Manolakos and his family own the Pan-Hellenic Pastry Shop, which was damaged in a fire in 2010 and later reopened. He said he's concerned that UIC students will continue to flock to University Village shops instead of supporting small-business owners.
"We are all independently owned places. We don't hope that the corporate mother is going to send us money to keep us going," Manolakos said. "Everything directly affects us."
Community members will get another chance to voice their opinions at a public hearing on June 27. The massive project is in the environmental assessment phase; the public review and comment process will end July 12.

November 24, 2014
RENO, Nev. (AP) - Nevada health insurance exchange officials concede there have been problems with issuing cards to some people who signed up for coverage and accurately calculating subsidies.
Similar problems have been reported around the country with the roll-out of the federal health care reform law.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports Fernley resident Gary Smith was one of those who purchased his plan before the deadline in December. By mid-January, he still had not received his insurance card showing proof of coverage.
Smith says he also was billed incorrectly for the full unsubsidized amount of $749, instead of $150 per month that included tax subsidies for which he qualified.
Exchange officials say they have identified the cause of the glitch and fixed the problem.

"Heacock watched me at the track meet and he told my coach (Jeff Conroy) that (Jim) Tressel would text me when I got home. I kind of knew then that they might offer me. Later that night, Tressel sent me a text message asking me if I wanted to join the Buckeye family and I told him "Yes"."
With quite an impressive list of offers to choose from, one might think that Williams may have had some hesitation before making his decision.
"No, there was no hesitation" he said. "I always made it very clear to my parents, coaches and Ohio State that if they offered me I was committing. I had some great offers and I was happy with all the other schools, but OSU was always No. 1."
The original timetable for Brewster's commitment was sometime this fall, and he had even scheduled official visits to see some of his top schools, but a magical evening at dinner with some of the coaches and some of the recruits families provided the perfect opportunity to publicly announce his decision to play for the Buckeyes for the next four or five years.
"I just love everything about the college in general," Brewster said of his reasoning behind this weekend's pledge. "I just think that by making my commitment now, that I will be able to really help secure a great class for Ohio State. I have already been talking to some guys, but now that it is official it will be easier for them to buy in to that."
"I actually went down to Ohio State for the spring game and things down there didn't go great for me," Mealer told GoBlueWolverine moments after he pledged. "They went pretty good, but I think it was just more of a sign that Michigan was the place for me. I just got done committing to Coach Debord. I just told him."

Cisco's New Prime Time Video Conferencing from VoIP Supply, Fit for an Executive Boardroom
Buffalo, NY, Dec 04, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- By now a lot of businesses that have remote workers or employees who travel frequently have probably heard about the benefits and cost savings of Cisco TelePresence video conferencing.
Skype and Google Hangouts are popular options for quick and dirty video solutions but they won't scale well when a business needs a fully immersive video communication system to collaborate with multiple sites and large groups of people.
This is where Cisco TelePresence Codecs step in; Cisco's premier, large scale video conferencing solutions fit for an executive boardroom.
These professional grade video systems from Cisco are available in three models with 1080p HD video and ultra-wideband audio and are built for applications like dedicated studios for video calls, boardrooms, auditoriums, education, and telemedicine.
Cisco TelePresence Codec C40: The C40 is for standard video collaboration projects and can turn any general meeting space into an HD video room with two microphones and up to four remotes sites streaming at 576p.
Cisco TelePresence Codec C60: The C60 makes collaborating on complex projects feel natural regardless of the setting and can connect up to four HD video sources and four microphones.
Cisco TelePresence Codec C90: The C90 is the most powerful and flexible video interface to serve large venues with a personlized touch via five simultaneous video inputs, 12 direct HD sources, and eight mircrophones.
VoIP Supply was recently recognized by Cisco as an Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) for Cisco TelePresence Video Express solutions. In short, this ATP certification from Cisco ensures that VoIP Supply can deliver these comprehenseive sytems and have them shipped within days.
VoIP Supply is celebrating its new certification by offering a free 32" LG LED display with the purchase of a new Cisco Telepresence system.
The bad news is, it's the end of the year and who has time for a massive video deployment The good news is, it's the end of the year and businesses are still eligible up until December 31st to qualify for the Section 179 Tax Deduction that includes equipment, computers, computer software, and more.
"Cisco video solutions are relied upon all over the world, and VoIP Supply can be relied upon as an authorized Cisco TelePresence provider," said Garrett Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at VoIP Supply. "It might be year end but it's still a great time to get started with video conferencing from Cisco, add a free LG display to your business, and take advantage of the Section 179 tax deduction." For additional information contact a VoIP Supply video conferencing consultant today by phone at 855-820-8006 or via email at VideoConferencing (at) voipsupply (dot) com.
About VoIP Supply VoIP Supply, LLC (
a division of Sayers Technology Holdings, is North America's leading supplier of VoIP equipment and integrated communication systems for businesses of all sizes, service providers and resellers. Widely recognized for its depth of product knowledge and industry expertise, VoIP Supply sets the standard for vertical E-tailing - providing value-based pricing across its comprehensive product catalog, expert technical support, rapid product provisioning and installation, global logistics services and market-making promotions for manufacturers of all sizes.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

Hi guys,
i had on kid ask me this last week. hes a good kid and always telling me who and where people in his class are getting games from :pound: .
Anyway, he asked if it was ok with us (techies) and his teacher, if the school could hold a design competition to design windows 7 logon and wallpaper screens. (the site is changing to W7 this year).
its not just him, but other kids (and teachers) are really excited about the move.
i dont have an issue with this, but thought id ask you guys who have modded the logon screens about the difficulties i might face.
Am i shooting myself in the leg with trying to deploy a modded logon screen....

HYPNOBIRTHING - a gentle way to give birth
What is HypnoBirthing?
HypnoBirthing is a form of childbirth preparation that believes in women's innate ability to give birth gently and easily.
By learning how to relax profoundly, women are able to enter easily into a relaxed state during labour. In this relaxed state, they are free to release the powerful cocktail of hormones that are necessary for labour to progress and for the baby to be born.
The key hormone in this cocktail is oxytocin. Oxytocin is the true "love hormone", essential in the most intimate activities: sex, labour and breastfeeding.
The HypnoBirthing Course will teach birthing couples
• Deep relaxations in which the participants learn to go easily into a profound state of relaxation.
• The "tools" that they will have on hand during labour, including gentle breathing techniques and visualisations.
• Information about birth physiology, nutrition, choosing their caregiver and the options they are likely to have during labour and birth.
The HypnoBirthing course also recognizes the importance of the birth partner. As the woman's prime support during labour, the birth partner also learns the same methods to enter relaxation, gains an in-depth understanding of the birth process and learns how to be a confident advocate for the mother and her needs.
Are you in Barcelona?
Join us for our next course date on Saturday September 27th and Saturday October 4th.

This is not your average war story- the narrator is not a soldier, but a taxi driver, and eventually, not even that. However, the story still touches on important themes of death, coping, and relationships.
Hemingway's writing is very straightforward- and if you like flowery language, this might be a bit dull for you.
Personally, I enjoyed the no-nonsense writing, though I did not become particularly attached to Catherine.
I'm a fairly voracious reader and somehow this book had always passed me by so I decided to catch it up. I cannot believe that this is considered a classic. All right, from time to time, the writing is excellent but overall I would have to say that the plot is puerile and the writing is generally infantile. I can think of at least half a dozen books that will give someone a better taste and feel of the First World War: for a Canadian experience, try The Wars (Findley); for a German outlook, All Quiet on the Western Front (Remarque). Additionally, I'd recommend Birdsong (Faulkes) and Regeneration (Barker), and don't forget to read Dr Zhivago (Pasternak)!. And that's saying nothing about the tons of wonderful poetry...
This book sounds beautiful read aloud--share it with a partner or friend this way!
I read this as a teenager, then again as an adult. Definitely worth a second time around.
A look inot the life of one man and his love during the War. Absolutely loved it and would reccomend it to any one!
I read this book because it is a well-known classic, but I got half way through it and could not finish it (and I enjoy reading all sorts of novels). I thought it was boring and the dialogue between the main characters just didn't interest me.
My first Hemingway novel and it was excellent. Hemingway's knowledge of the english language and his simplicity is what makes this book a classic. The book was an excellent read, and it certaintly won't be my last Hemingway novel.

If people bring so much courage to the world, the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks everyone and many are stronger at the broken places. But those it will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these, you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

"One option is going to be a tube."
Those words from C's pediatric GI doctor took me by surprise. I knew my two-year-old was small. I knew he had severe feeding problems. I never imagined what life would have in store for us. Last year, C had a g-tube surgically placed and we started giving him four bottles of formula each day. His behavior was erratic. I noticed sugar highs and lows. I knew there had to be a better way to nourish him than to make him go through sugar crashes and fill him with artificial ingredients.

C's feeding therapy group has been going really well. They're exposing him to a lot of new foods, some of which he used to eat regularly but eliminated from his diet. One of those foods: apples. He likes to "make them crunch!" I can't even explain the joy in my heart when he requests to eat apples!

I have made my own laundry detergent and my own toothpaste, but deodorant? I haven't dared to go there yet. I naturally sweat – a lot – and I have a fear of putting a natural deodorant to the test only to have it fail me midday. I have a fear of smelling funky!

Review: Soft, Organic Cotton Sleep Sack by Merino Kids

There have been many times that a car trip overlaps with the kids' bedtimes. We often put them in pajamas before we drive home, but we still need to put them into sleep sacks when we get back home. I didn't know that a car-seat compatible sleep sack existed until I received this Merino Kids Organic Cotton Sleep Sack for review. They actually have a patented safety belt aperture that allows the freedom to move baby from car seat to stroller to crib without disrupting sleep patterns. Very cool.
Celebrating warm weather parties with Tastefully Simple Caramel Macchiato Frappé Mix
Disclosure: As a blogger for Tastefully Simple, I receive compensation and product for review purposes. The opinions below are entirely my own.
We had 12 adults at C and Baby Jo's birthday party last weekend. I wanted to serve up a fun, out of the ordinary beverage that they would enjoy. Hubster and I are big frappé fans so it was only fitting that we would utilize this Tastefully Simple Caramel Macchiato Frappé Mix. I have to admit that after prepping for a joint birthday party with 12 adults and nine children in attendance, I was thankful for a beverage that was very quick and easy to prepare.
Putting All Of Our Memories in One Place with Blinkbuggy
Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Blinkbuggy. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.
Baby Jo is turning one tomorrow. I cannot believe that one year has passed already. I may or may not be in denial! With everything that has happened this past year, I sometimes feel guilty that I wasn't able to soak in her first year adequately. We were so preoccupied with C's medical needs – trips to the hospital, countless tests, doctors, therapy. Even the daily tube feedings take a lot of additional time. I wonder if Baby Jo feels a little lost in translation as we run around to various appointments and the like. On the other hand, it's the "normal" that she's come to know.
Get a great deal on event tickets with ScoreBig!
Disclosure: I received a credit to make a purchase on ScoreBig for the purpose of this review. The thoughts and opinions below are entirely my own.
When Hubster and I were dating, we went to NFL games, NBA games, MLB games and hockey games. We bought concert tickets and even went to a few theater productions. It wasn't until later, when we were married and living on a tighter budget, that we realized we weren't able to attend all of the events we wanted because the ticket prices were higher than we could afford. If there had only been a place where we could name the price we were willing to pay and get an instant answer. If only there was a place that offered no fees and free delivery. That's right – there is. ScoreBig offers tickets that are always below box office price, up to 60 percent below face value.

As close to homemade baby food as you can get with Beech-Nut's new just gentle cooking™.
Disclosure: I am participating in a review program with Beech-Nut and MomSelect. Although I am receiving product and compensation for this post, the thoughts and opinions below are entirely my own.
I'm one of those moms that is a little obsessive about knowing what is going into my children's mouths. I was already like this when C was a baby, but now that he's been through all of his health issues I'm even more adamant about proper nutrition and zero additives. For the most part, I made both of my kids' baby food; but there were occasions when I didn't have time or it wasn't possible to travel with a bunch of homemade baby food. Beech-Nut has answered the call of moms like me who are looking to take all of the added junk out of baby food and give our babies real, natural ingredients just like we would make.

Spring is in the air! Okay, well, it was for a day or two before the snow decided to come back. I'm still thinking spring – bright colors, citrus, sunshine and warmer air!

Tastefully Simple introduced their new spring-summer line and there are some fun new gluten-free items to try!

Cutie P'Tubies Review & FLASH Giveaway: Making tubies cute one pad at a time!
Disclosure: I received complimentary product from Cutie P'Tubies in exchange for this review and giveaway. The thoughts and opinions below are entirely my own.
It doesn't seem to matter which barrier cream we use, how tight C's g-tube button is, or how active he is…fluid leaks out regardless. We were using gauze for a long time. That always fell off if we didn't use tape, but if we used tape then C's skin would break out. I eventually gave up and didn't put any dressing around it, resulting in some stains in that area of his shirts. During a late night Pinterest session, I came across some adorable g-tube pads. I didn't even know that these existed! I clicked through to the Cutie P'Tubies Etsy store and found the motherlode of cute for G tube pads, J tube pads, Cecostomy pads and Trach pads.

On my quest to rid our personal products of chemicals and dyes, I tried a few soaps from Grandma's Pure & Natural. These products are made without detergents or chemicals. It's just pure and natural soap like, their website says, "folks used to make 100 years ago."

In an age of Facebook announcements, Instagram pics and tweets, I find myself yearning for the personal touch of a paper wedding invitation, birthday card, photo card or birth announcement. There's something special about opening up that piece of mail and holding that paper in your hand. Call me crazy, but I even love the smell of the cardstock. Yeah, that might be weird, but this is coming from someone that enjoys the smell of a paperback book, too.

I'm working on going gluten-free this year. It's not easy. I mean, who doesn't love bread? As a Tastefully Simple blogger, I've had the opportunity to try beer bread and it is delicious. I like to make it for parties or when we watch sporting events on TV. Going gluten-free means that the traditional Beer Bread Mix was out of the question. Thankfully I don't need to give it up, because Tastefully Simple makes a Gluten-Free Beer Bread Mix!
Because 13-year-old girls like Griselda Shouldn't Be Subjected to Gang Rape. #LocustEffect
Disclosure: As a member of the #LocustEffect launch team, I received an advance copy of this book for review purposes. The thoughts and opinions below are entirely my own.
Thirteen-year-old girls shouldn't be plucked off the street on their way to church. It's safe to say that Griselda's abductors had no fear of prosecution for their crime. Why? Because the law enforcement system in Guatemala, like many in the developing world, are corrupt and of no use in protecting the poor. Impoverished victims cannot pay bribes or afford numerous trips to police offices and courts. For 4 billion people in the world, every part of the justice system is broken – police, prosecutors, courts. It doesn't work. Gary A. Haugen writes in The Locust Effect, "Sadly, the public justice systems in the developing world not only fail to protect the poor from violence, but they actually perpetrate violence, protect perpetrators, and make poor people less safe."

Tastefully Simple Fabulous Fudge™ Review and Giveaway!
Disclosure: As a blogger for Tastefully Simple, I receive compensation and product for review purposes. The opinions below are entirely my own.
There are few things like the holidays that bring about sensory memories. For me, it's the memories of big snowflakes falling from the sky, singing Christmas carols in the car while looking at Christmas lights, feeling the warmth of a peppermint mocha in my hands, and the smell of my mom's maple fudge. That fudge is set out next to the Christmas cookies every year and it disappears pretty quickly! Nothing can compare to Mom's fudge, but Tastefully Simple has come really close.

I received a sample of this product for review purposes. The thoughts and opinions below are entirely my own.
C is just getting to the age where he's afraid of the dark. He likes to turn off the lights and say, "It's dark in here." But just moments later, he'll follow that with, "It's scawee! I'm scared!"

Now that I'm a mom of two, I don't do my nails as often as I'd like. It always seems to take a lot of time, and then I need to clean it up a little with nail polish remover. I can't color in the lines very well. I was excited to receive a sample of Nail Cones. They call it, "A deliciously easy way to apply nail polish!"
myheartsaKEs Review and Giveaway!
Kylie creates beautiful hand-stamped, personalized jewelry at her Etsy shop, myheartsaKEs.

I love silver jewelry, and myheartsaKEs' washer necklaces are exactly what I was looking for.
Review: Boogie Wipes
Disclosure: An Amazon affiliate link is included below.
Ever struggle to get the crusty boogers off your sick child's nose? I certainly did. C would get so angry with us when we tried to wipe his nose. He'd flail, kick, cry and shake his head wildly. Then I remembered hearing about how great Boogie Wipes are. My practical side was skeptical – wouldn't a wet washcloth work just as well? After fighting C for two days during his latest cold, I decided to give the Boogie Wipes a try.
Review: Magid Disposable Nitrile Gloves
Cleaning – it's a dirty job, but we all need to do it. Now that we have a moving, grooving child in our home, I find myself cleaning a lot. I enjoy the sparkly sheen of a clean home, but I don't like how cleaning chemicals dry out my skin. While I clean the bathroom, I like to wear disposable gloves to protect my skin from harsh chemicals. I like that I can peel off the nastiness of bathroom grime and put the glove in the garbage when I'm done. I received a box of 100 disposable nitrile gloves from Magid Gloves & Safety Manufacturing Company LLC for review and got to work testing them!

Review: Baby Bjorn Babysitter Balance
Disclosure: I have not been compensated for this review. An Amazon affiliate link is included below.
When C had colic during his first eight weeks, Hubster and I were desperate to find anything that would help him. Hubster had heard about the BABYBJORN Babysitter Balance from a supervisor. We balked at the price, but we were sold after Hubster conducted further research on the product.
Motherlove Diaper Rash and Thrush Salve Review
After being very pleased with the Motherlove Nipple Cream while breastfeeding, the kind folks at Motherlove sent me their Diaper Rash & Thrush salve to try. I'm so glad that they did!
C typically does not have any diaper rash; however, he's had quite a bit of redness since he started teething. We avoid changing C's diaper during the night because it causes him to wake up too much. By the morning, his little butt is red. We started applying Motherlove Diaper Rash & Thrush salve before bed and also when he wakes up. The redness has significantly diminished in the past two weeks. In fact, on most days C does not have any diaper rash. We apply the salve even when his bootie isn't red for preventative measures.

Gagner, 5-foot-11, 202 pounds, has played in 481 career games with Edmonton, recording 101 goals and 295 points. He was drafted first overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
Purcell, 6-foot-3, 203 pounds, has played in 310 games with the Lightning since being acquired from the Los Angeles Kings on March 3, 2010.

2014 Draft: 7th Round, 185th OverallSubmitted by pete on June 28, 2014 - 11:41
Name: Cameron Darcy
Position: Center
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 192 lbs
Club: Cape Breton QMJHL
Well seasoned overage prospect has taken the long route through North American junior hockey on the way to being drafted. Darcy's stops include playing with the Dexter School in Massachussetts prep hockey, the USNTDP, Northeastern University, the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL, and Cape Breton of the QMJHL. Along the way, he won a U18 WJC Gold Medal with Team USA. This year, he led the Screaming Eagles in scoring and plays a balanced all-around game. Plays a pro-style, north-south, shoot-first style of hockey. Above average hands in tight.
Needs to improve his skating and his upper body strength.
Checking liner and minor league depth.
Alex Killorn Lite
2014 Draft: 6th Round, 170th OverallSubmitted by pete on June 28, 2014 - 11:02
Name: Cristiano DiGiacinto
Position: Left Wing
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 186 lbs
Club: Windsor (OHL)
Mean, agitating winger gets under his opponent's skin. Has some ability to pass and shoot the puck, but his primary task is to get the other team off their game. Classic lower line checker is at his best when the other team is trying to strangle him.
Late bloomer struggled to be picked up by a junior team until this past season. Below average skater, particularly in terms of his acceleration.
Fourth line agitator
Zac Rinaldo
2014 Draft: 4th Round, 119th OverallSubmitted by pete on June 28, 2014 - 10:10
Name: Ben Thomas
Position: Defense
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 190 lbs
Club: Calgary (WHL)
Assertive, aggressive player at both ends of the ice. Strong upper body with a high compete level. Excellent puck handler with the much coveted righty shot who loves to jump in the play. Loves to jump in the play, but responsible enough not to get caught for odd man rushes the other way. High compete level.
Poor backward skater with mediocre lateral agility compounded by poor reads and hockey sense in the defensive third.
Projection: #5 defenseman
Comparisons: Cody Franson
2014 Draft: 3rd Round, 80th OverallSubmitted by pete on June 28, 2014 - 09:27
Name: Brayden Point
Position: Center
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 160 lbs
Club: Moose Jaw (WHL)
Dynamic puckhandler with top notch creativity and playmaking skills. Well above average hockey sense and soft hands in tight around the net. Shifty, darting, hard to catch and even harder to stop.
Tiny, and at 160 lbs lacks the strength to stand up to the rigors of the pro game. Questionable whether his frame can support putting the bulk on he needs.
Second line scoring center or AHL/European league scoring champ.

This Just In!
Vietnam-era veteran allegedly denied use of service animal
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development today announced that it is charging two Poughkeepsie, New York-area landlords with violating the Fair Housing Act for allegedly refusing to allow a Vietnam-era veteran suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder to have a therapeutic service dog in his apartment. In addition, HUD's charge contends that the landlords, Gerald and Patrick Paribelli, who manage and own the Apartment Buildings of South Street Builders, Inc., in Highland, NY, retaliated against the veteran by threatening to evict him because he filed a housing discrimination complaint.
The Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful to refuse to grant persons with disabilities reasonable accommodations, such as changes to rules, policies or practices that allow them to fully enjoy their home. The Fair Housing Act also prohibits coercing, intimidating, threatening, or interfering with a person for having exercised their fair housing rights.
"Every day, the men and women of our armed services risk their lives to defend our freedom," said John Trasviña, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. "It's our duty to ensure that our service members, as well as everyone who calls America home, have access to safe and affordable housing, free from discrimination. HUD will continue to vigorously enforce our nation's fair housing laws on behalf of our nation's veterans and those currently serving."
In his complaint, which was filed with HUD and the New York State Division of Human Rights, the resident alleged that the owners failed to grant his request for a reasonable accommodation when they denied his use of a service animal doctors had prescribed to reduce his post-traumatic stress, depression and seizures. Although one of the owners acknowledged that he had heard of assistance animals being used to treat these disorders, the landlords denied the tenant's requests for a therapeutic service dog because his apartment building had a "no-pets" policy. HUD's charge of discrimination also asserts that the landlords told the tenant that he would need to start looking for another place to live because he had filed a housing discrimination complaint.
The HUD charge will be heard by a United States Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) unless any party to the charge elects to have the case heard in federal district court. If an ALJ finds after a hearing that discrimination has occurred, the ALJ may award damages to the complainant for the damages suffered as a result of the discrimination. The ALJ may also order injunctive relief and other equitable relief to deter further discrimination, as well as payment of attorney fees. In addition, the ALJ may impose civil penalties in order to vindicate the public interest. A federal district court judge may also award punitive damages to the complainant.
FHEO and its partners in the Fair Housing Assistance Program investigate more than 10,000 housing discrimination complaints annually. People who believe they are the victims of housing discrimination should contact HUD at 1-800-669-9777 (voice), 800-927-9275 (TTY). Additional information is available at www.hud.gov/fairhousing.
HUD is the nation's housing agency committed to sustaining homeownership; creating affordable housing opportunities for low-income Americans; and supporting the homeless, elderly, people with disabilities and people living with AIDS. The Department also promotes economic and community development and enforces the nation's fair housing laws. More information about HUD and its programs is available on the Internet at www.hud.gov and espanol.hud.gov.

Oct 4, 2013I bought this game with low expectations which I suggest people buying this game should do. The positive things that I liked about this game are the character and unit customization you can edit a whole battalions appearance, there armor, and there weapons that they use. I really liked the historical setting especially backed with the cinematics from the History Channels show on the 100 years war, and I felt that you could get tactical with this game like moving units to flank or setting up an ambush in a forest, etc.... Now to the things I didn't like about it, I didn't like how expensive it was I paid $20 for it at Gamestop, the graphics leave a lot to be desired, and the story was a little lack luster. But all in all I suggest at least trying this game out for you can have some fun playing it but its definitely not an Age of Empires, or a Total War game. So I highly suggest getting this game with low expectations and the ability to have fun with a game like this.… Expand
Oct 18, 2013I really wanted this game to be good, and it had good ideas in it, being able to customize your soldiers, being able to strategically come up with your tactics and stuff. But it just doesn't work on the Xbox, while on the battle scenes the graphics are poor. The atmosphere is gone, and it has turn based real time battles! which totally takes away from the idea of a turn based map, with real time battles, such as the total war series. It just feels like one big boring chore to sit through.… Expand
Feb 2, 2012This game inticed me last spring when it was released: however, with no reviews on it by critics or users, I forgot about it until just recently when I noticed that it was half priced. Buying it new I took a chance thinking that a game claiming to have authentic armour, realistic battles, and a TBS mixed with RPG element would have redeeming qualities to enjoy. Besides, the Hundred Years War was the most interesting time period in Medieval warfare. To imagine this game, imagine Total War: Medieval trying to be brought to consul. Okay? Now strip away about 3/4 of that. The battle maps' views are limited in sizing up the enemy forces and you can only go in so close to view the action. It has authentic armor, but everyone is the same. No where near the unique individual soldiers in Total War series. The battles have no choreography of a struggle taking place like TW, just arms pumping up and down in unision. When enemies are routed, there is no cutting them down, your men just stop and wait for orders. The movement of your forces don't allow you to put them in any formation; oblique, spearhead, or such, they just march in regular formation. Adding new weapons and armour to your men doesn't mean much when you can't see them in action or in visual, so the RPG element really falls flat. There are cutscenes with filmed reenactors about the progression of the Hundred Year's War, but it doesn't take too long for you to realise that they are using a lot of the same scenes over again. The only thing stopping me from trading this game in right away is that I don't think it would be worth the gas money to get there.â… Expand

Did you know that Americans spend, on average, over $30,000,000 a year on beauty products? It is a staggering number, but it is true. If you are looking into a career in cosmetology you need to keep this figure in mind. Many people fail to consider the fact that a career in cosmetology has the possibility to extend beyond cutting and styling hair. In this article you will be able to read more about the career paths that you can pursue when you obtain an education in cosmetology.
Salon Booth Rental
The most common option for cosmetologists is that of renting a booth and working in a salon, being a hired employee in a salon, or starting your own salon business. There are positives and negatives to all of these options. If you are thinking about renting a booth in a salon consider these positives and negatives that may come with this option. The positives may include the following:
- You can set your own schedule (within the salon's business hours)
- You can manage your own business
- You keep all your earnings (minus the booth rental fee)
- The ability to choose your own product line
- Possibly make more money
The negatives may include the following:
- You may have to compete with other hair dressers
- Your job may not be secure
- You may make less money during slow seasons
- You have to do your own advertising and marketing
- You have to do your own book work, including filing quarterly taxes
- Sometimes work in a negative professional environment
Salon Employee
If you are an employee in a salon owned and managed by someone else, you can encounter positives and negatives just like while renting a booth. The positives include the following:
- Greater job security
- Mentoring, guidance, and education by the salon owner
- A flow of customers based on quality and relationships
- A team atmosphere among stylists
- Book work and taxes handled for you
The negatives may include the following:
- Being at the mercy of the salon owner for your schedule and hours
- Having to sell the salon owner's product line choice
- Having a set hourly or salary wage
- Your career movement may be limited
Owning a Salon
Another salon option is owning your own salon. While you may be working in your salon doing the same thing that you would be doing as an employee in a salon owned by someone else, you have the added responsibilities and benefits that come along with owning your own business. Some of the benefits of this option include the following:
- You can set your own prices and hours
- You can set your salon apart from others by the type of stylists you hire
- With hard work and effort, you can build your business as well as your bank account
- You can choose your own product line
- You have control over your own business destiny
The drawbacks that may come along with this option include the following:
- There are expensive start-up costs
- There is a large responsibility on your shoulders for the success of the salon
- You have to be responsible for all human resource issues
- You have to be responsible for all bookkeeping
No matter what option you choose, you have the opportunity to be successful in a cosmetology career. You can also learn more about your options, you can read more.
