NVIDIA and ATI. The two giants struggling against each other in every sector, in every niche and pricing category of the market of video accelerators, on every retail shelf and at every hardware related conference. The topic is endless, and both companies are invariably throwing in new and new materials for theoretical reasoning, empirical research, practical debriefings and sometimes heated arguments.
This "global confrontation" of two titans is course preserved with the release of PCI-Express solutions as well, which we are going to witness in our review.
We have already covered the specifics of PCI-Express technical implementation in ATI and NVIDIA in our previous reviews, but now we'd better concentrate on the "heroes of the day".
So, meet the wrestlers on the carpet - RX600XT and GeForce PCX5750.
What adds to the intrigue is that the manufacturer of both boards is MSI, eminent for its abundant package bundles, smartly implemented and easily recognizable cooling system for its video cards, as well as for the superb product quality which by right deserves the name "brand", which brought the company a renowned reputation on the market.
The third participant of our today's contest is ATI's RX600 PRO video cards of reference design, with its rated frequency 400 MHz/300 MHz (600 MHz DDR).
We included just this specimen in the contest on purpose.
If we look at the table of positioning PCI-E solutions by ATI and NVIDIA and closely analyze the results our past tests as well as price characteristics of the boards, it becomes clear that X600XT can hardly be regarded as "absolute" middle-end solution. It is positioned right between the two "fires" of NVIDIA - PCX5900 and PCX5750.
It's just this X600 PRO that can be regarded as direct competitor of the latter, with the frequencies downgraded relative to X600XT and thus reduced price tag.
I presume you have already been aware of the character of today's contest, so we are moving on to the most interesting and detailed examination of our participants.

Congratulations on reaching 2.75 Million points and getting your new red sports car!
DerHahn! I don't have much time right now my friend. As you know, I'm generally spot on with the gas prices going up or down. Quickly and I'm gonna ask you and others to pass it on to everyone as I just don't have the time to do it this time. We might go back up on gas, or rather, WE WILL shortly by about six to 12 cents a gallon minimum with a strong probability of going back up 14 to 22 cents a gallon, possibly even more. In the midwest and the west coast, mountain states, Alaska and Hawaii, I expect the price jumps to be more. It's coming just in-time for the holiday you know! Keep in mind that you can always warn five to 10 or more of your buddies and they can do the same among theirs.
Congratulations on reaching 2.5 Million points and getting your new red semi!
Something different: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8VQfwgMwIE Enjoy! Pass it on!
Yeah, it is certainly tough to come by 100% gas in IL. Luckily there are a couple stations in Madison WI where I'm living now, that sell it for only about 20¢/gal above regular E10. That is the only gas I will put into my 1991 Mercury.
Hey there DerHahn! Just saying hello! Thought you might find this and the next one interesting! http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/talking-numbers/this-could-be-a-huge-warning-sign-for-the-economy-214332478.html
so much for 2,022 consecutive days. get sick and it's lost forever.
georgia working on law for everyone to stay right except for passing. duhhhhhhhhhhhh, been that way in many states for years. unfortunately too many don't do it. here's some experience, you have a better chance of avoiding speeding tickets if you move back to the right after passing.
Today is our mutual buddy GaryBowles Birthday. Stop by his WB and wish him a good one!

This Mustang Parts Installation Guide Works For
Tools Required
Installation Time: 2 Hours
Warning: When working on, under, or around any vehicle exercise caution. Please allow the vehicles exhaust system to cool before removal, as exhaust system temperatures can cause severe burns. If working without a lift, always consult vehicle manual for correct lifting specifications. Always wear safety glasses and ensure a safe work area. Serious injury or death could occur if safety measures are not followed.
Step 1: (Carefully read all instructions before installation) Disconnec the vehicles battery before removal of the OEM exhaust. this will allow the computer to reset itself with the new system, and prevent electrical accidents. To remove the OEM exhaust system, unbolt the clamps fastening the muffler inlets to the over axle pipes. Unbolt the muffler hanger brackets from the frame, and remove the mufflers from the vehicle (The brackets will be reused). Remove the over axle pipes in a similar fashion. Do not discard the OEM band clamps or damage the OEM rubber insulators, as they will be used to mount the new system.
Step 2: Remove the OEM hanger brackets from the mufflers and reattach them to the frame of the vehicle. (Make note of the hanger isolator orientation as improper installation will cause fitment issues). Leave all the clamps and fasteners loose for final adjustment of the complete system. Install the new mufflers by fitting the welded hangers into the rubber insulators in the brackets. Fit the new over axle pipes into place and fasten them to the catalytic converters and new mufflers using the OEM clamps at the converters and the new supplied band clamps at the mufflers.
Step 3: With all components mounted loosely, adjust the system for overall aesthetics and clearance of frame and bodywork. (MAGNAFLOW recommends at least 1/2" of clearance between the exhaust system and any body panels to prevent heat related body damage or fire).
Step 4: Once a final position has been chosen for the new system, evenly tighter all fasteners from front to rear. The supplied band clamps must be very tight to properly align the pipes and prevent leaks (Approx. 65ft-lbs). Inspect all fasteners after 25-50 miles of operation and retighten if necessary.

Basics of Glass Etching Using Etching Solution

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Etching glass was originally done by sandblasting, but today we have an easier and less forceful way to decorate glass. Follow this glass etching tutorial from Maria Nerius.
Etchall Dip 'N Etch etching solution
- Etching solution
- Glass to etch
- Resist or pattern stencil
- Large plastic container.
- Rubber or Plastic gloves.
Almost any piece of glass can be etched from a water glass, vase, or slab. The glass surface can be flat or curved, but if you are a beginner you want to pick a glass item that is easy to embellish and use simple designs/patterns. You use self sticking stencils for designs/patterns on glass. You can purchase pre-made designs or make your own from self sticking template plastic. Always wear plastic gloves when working with etching solution.
Etching solution is poured into a plastic container larger than the piece of glass you want to etch. If your glass item is lightweight you'll need to weight it with marbles, rocks or water. For example a glass cup would float in the solution so it must be weighted. You don't want any of the etching solution to get inside of the cup (etching the inside) so you need to know exactly how much solution needs to be poured into the plastic container. You do this by first placing the item in your plastic container and filling the plastic container with water to find the etching line. Once you have enough water to reach the top of the glass item, stop and remove the glass item. Now, mark an etch line on the plastic container with a marker. Remove water and dry the plastic container.
Fill marked plastic container with etching solution. Slowly lower your glass item into the solution. Most etching solutions take around 15 minutes, but read the labeling carefully. Once etching time has elapsed, lift item and rinse with running water, then clean with soap and water, and dry. Etching solution can be used over and over so pour it back into its original container. Clean your plastic container with soap and water before storing.
An easy project for etching with a solution is to take a small glass vase. Apply round label stickers to the outside of it. Prepare the etching bath and dip your vase. Remove after etching time has elapsed, rinse with running water, remove label stickers, clean with soap and water, and dry. It's a simple design, but gives you a feel of how the etching process works.

Former Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame Employee Waives Indictment
Posted 9/6/2013 11:29 am
Updated 1 year ago
The former assistant executive director of the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame waived indictment and pleaded guilty Friday in U.S. District Court in connection with stealing $118,300 from the Sports Hall of Fame.
The single count of access device fraud to which Jennifer W. Smith pleaded guilty carries a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine, but federal sentencing guidelines suggest her actual sentence will more likely be in the range of one year. No sentencing date has been set. Her plea deal includes payment of $70,000 in restitution in 45 days, and if she doesn't that amount will increase.
Smith, 47, used a Hall of Fame credit card as her own between July 2007 and November 2012, Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Givens said during the hearing in front of U.S. District Judge Brian Miller.
Smith used the card for such things as clothes, meals at restaurants and while on trips, Givens said.
Smith was fired from the Hall of Fame in December 2012, and a forensic audit was launched on her use of the nonprofit organization's credit cards.
Cassinelli said, though, that Smith has a theft of property charge pending in Pulaski County Circuit related to the credit card charges. Cassinelli said she expects that charge to be dropped as a result of her plea.

Written by George Freedman, DDS Monday, 31 May 2010 19:00
In First Impressions George Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experience.
Under Armour Performance Mouthwear
All too often, dental practitioners see teenagers or adults with their front teeth broken. In most cases, this is the result of a sports-related mishap and totally avoidable. While direct hard- object trauma injuries (such as baseball bat or hockey stick impact) do occur, it is far more common to see tooth fractures as a result as the jaws suddenly coming together too hard, too fast, and with great force. This can occur in any contact sport (and many noncontact activities, as well). Furthermore, as many athletes know from experience, closing the jaw can actually help you to perform better. In both ancient and recent times, leather bite straps enhanced performance in both sport and battle. Bite Tech's Under Armour Performance Mouthwear is designed to protect against inadvertent sudden closure as well as enhancing performance levels. Training and competition often cause the jaw to clench, compressing the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This triggers the release of hormones that can produce stress, fatigue and distraction. Under Armour's Performance Mouthwear appliance prevents the teeth from clenching; it pivots the jaw forward to alleviate pressure on the TMJ, eliminating energy-draining clenching. Independent university studies indicate that mouthguards can increase strength, endurance, and speed reaction time. A custom-designed mouthguard reduces athletic stress, reduces impact, and allows individuals to play better, stronger, and longer. The custom-fitted Under Armour appliances are far more precise than the typical pharmacy or supermarket boil-and-bite over-the-counter products. Under Armour Performance Mouthwear is an innovative provider of high-quality, scientifically designed, lab-fabricated appliances that offer maximum interocclusal and lateral protection for the teeth while enhancing performance ability. For more information, call (877) 248-3832 or visit bitetech.com.
ErgoVision HD Loupes Oakley Line
Magnification through surgical telescopes is a standard feature of 21st-century dentistry. At first, the perceived need for magnification was limited to older practitioners whose eyesight was limited by the normal changes that aging brings to the cornea. Today, however, given the exacting nature of many dental procedures, and the precision required for many procedures, even the educational process at the dental school level is routinely conducted with magnification appliances. Needless to say, the extended daily wear period of magnification devices makes it essential that the glasses and the attached loupes be both functional and comfortable for the practitioner. In recent years, sport frames have become a standard part of the magnification apparatus. It is very important, however, to differentiate between the high- and low-quality frames that are available to the dentist. SurgiTel has introduced the ErgoVision HD Loupes Oakley Line. Oakley is the most recognized high-performance optical frame company in the world, and its patented frame concepts combine with SurgiTel's patented telescope designs to provide a unique prescription for quality intraoral vision and enhanced visibility. The high-definition Oakley optics guarantee clear and sharp images when compared to the distorted dull images of low-optic-quality sports frames. The Oakley frame creates a 3-point contact relationship with the operator's facial structures; it grips the entire face, providing additional support and comfort even at the end of a long practice day. Numerous styles are available, including the M frame, the Half Jacket, the Radar, and the Bottled Rocket, all with proven performance and reliability. The ErgoVision HD Loupes Oakley Line offers high performance eyewear, providing with the dentist the best in vision, comfort, and style. For more information, call (800) 959-0153 or visit surgitel.com.
Clinpro 5000 1.1% Sodium Fluoride Anti-Cavity Toothpaste
|Our patients often ask us to recommend a specific toothpaste for their home use. It is reasonable for them to expect that the dentist, hygienist, or assistant be in a qualified position to make a suitable suggestion for this essential part of home care. Toothpastes must be efficient, effective, and easy to use. In addition, there are 2 additional major consumer decision points—the taste and the quantity of foaming during brushing. Should these criteria not meet the patients' expectations, they will exhibit a resistance to using the product, thereby allowing increased dental and soft-tissue problems over time. Dental professionals have additional toothpaste parameters: abrasiveness, remineralization potential, fluoride content, fluoride-releasing potential, and more recently, whitening capacity. 3M ESPE has introduced its Clinpro 5000 1.1% sodium fluoride anti-cavity toothpaste. It is an innovative, tri-calcium phosphate, low-abrasion dentifrice that provides a gentle cleaning with whitening results. Its 1.1% sodium fluoride delivers more fluoride to the tooth and has been shown to increase surface microhardness. Clinpro 5000 contains 5,000-ppm fluoride ions, providing greater remineralization and greater fluoride uptake. In fact, it has been shown in clinical studies to strengthen teeth. Calcium and fluoride ions cannot typically coexist over an extended period of time without reacting. Clinpro 5000's manufacturing process involves the development of a protective barrier around the calcium that permits it to remain stable in the presence of fluoride ions. Once this mixture contacts saliva, however, during toothbrushing in the patient's mouth, the barrier breaks down, making the fluoride, calcium, and phosphate readily available to the tooth. Clinpro 5000 provides safe and effective cleansing for exposed root surfaces, particularly in older patients. For more information, call (800) 634-2249 or visit 3mespe.com.

Bend Fatal Hit-And-Run Plea Postponed
Updated On: Jun 28 2011 08:16:19 AM CDT
The Bend man who police said was driving the car that killed pedestrian Anthony Martin earlier this year, was set to enter a plea Monday.
That was postponed and Tuesday, the Deschutes County District Attorney's Office said Bret Biedscheid will be in for a settlement conference July 12th behind closed doors. If they do not come to a plea agreement, he is set to enter a plea on July 18th.
A grand jury indictment came down in April for the fatal January crash.
Biedscheid is charged with criminally negligent homicide and failure to preform the duties of a driver in an accident, a felony.

This is based in my real life or in Da, but, in both ways, it's important, and mostly, that you, my watchers, have to know this truth. And here's the proof why.
I was born on July 6 in 2001. Yes, you read correctly, I wasn't born at 199…something or another. That implies my age. I don't have, and never had, the necessary. I had almost 8 when I started my Da account as Tweetysweet, and held 4 years spending my time and love on it, on my passion, of course. So, they day I'm uploading this is going to be near my b-day and, that means, I'll be 13. People thought I had 14 or 15? No, I was younger than that, way younger the first draw I uploaded. And, with that in mind, I'll start my story, story that you have to know about.
So, as I said, I was born July 6 of 2001, and entered school, as all kindergarten kids, at the age of 5, 'cause where I live, we have pre-kindergarten, already having a few social problems. My classmates, the girls I was with in my class, would disturb or bother me with no reason. Now that I grew up and I know now the reason, I can't treat them as bad girls anymore, but I can't blame myself either. But, back then, I couldn't clean my name. I tried and spend the whole 7 YEARS until 6th grade to try and be nice and have at least some friends, but people would turn away or say "no" to my friend request. And, well, as expected, people kept bothering me, no matter how many, MANY times I looked refuge on my teachers and psychologists. Mainly, I thought I was done for: I thought for myself that I would be "forever alone" at the time, and started to close myself from the rest of the world, in a "bubble". But there was still a way to communicate myself with people, and those were my draws. Normally, adults, and mostly teachers and, sometimes, my classmates, approved of my draws many times, but I had a reason to draw: I wanted to forget the pain of being bothered, tried to close more and more in my "bubble", so no one could actually get in and approach to me in any way, and I didn't break out of it until now, 7th grade.
The reason I never went outside my "bubble" was simple. I didn't fight my problem anymore; I thought it was useless to fight it any further. I didn't have the enough strength that I have now, and I really regret my choices back then.
When 6th grade came, the problem I had grew smaller, but, it was still there. I'm going to be honest, I thought TWICE the idea of suicide, but never did it. People, mostly family, would either stop me from thinking it or, things that they would make to make me happy lend me to forget that. And, even the girls who bothered me started saying thing like "NO, Why WOULD YOU!?" or "PLEASE, DON'T!" And, those comments changed my mind completely. I was way sensible to people's feeling when they mean it, somehow.
Those…comments, to say it like that, made a great impact inside me, but, it didn't take the "bubble" out, barely made a scratch. It was permanent, or…so I thought it would be. I kept going to psychologists, until my mom founded a psychiatrist, and that psychiatrist recommended us a psychologist, that is now the one I go to.
Oh, try to remember that psychiatrist. It's going to be important.
So, I started going to the psychologist I was recommended to go. Her name was Constance, and she helped me get out of my bubble, she helped me get away from the problem, and told me things about social life, things that I ignored until then. I had to make some friends, after all, and I needed tips or I had to know certain things. All those years I was away from people, and, now that the "bubble" popped, I had to get a little closer.
A few days, or months, I don't remember exactly, I "met" this girl in my class. She's one year younger that all of us, but she's way intelligent than anyone. She came to me, and I heard her out. We became friends after that, we had similar liked, and we also could help each other, though I mostly help her out most of the time, but, either way, we wanted to be friends. I still remember a chat we had between ourselves; she told me something that really changed my life. It was something like this:
-Say—I asked—why'd you came that day towards me?
-You know what?—she answered—I actually wanted to be friends with you before, but I was too scared that you'd do me something, knowing that you got bothered the same way I was..
-Wait…you wanted to be…my friend before?
-Yup. I guess I made the right choice, huh?
When I heard that, I was shocked. People respected me enough to be friends with me before, but I got to "inside my bubble", that I didn't realize it. I never left the door half open, it was closed shut. I then realized, a few years later, that I had this way to "look" people; I looked at them like possible bullies or people who just wanted to bother me. I'm working to take that way to "look" away from me, and I'm doing it thanks to everyone, either here, or in real life.
After that year, my favorite cousin showed me a page called "Deviantart". I got sooooo into it; I just had to show people what I was capable of doing. But, I wasn't old enough, so my cousin used a false year. So, my age in Da isn't my real one. I got into Da quickly, I uploaded "scraps", that I thought were art, looked at things I liked, etc. So, I worked hard to make the technique I had to draw better. People started to look at me by my "cool-looking-advanced-for-age" draws, and I started liking the optimism they were giving me. I kept uploading 'til my mom figured out. Then, I had to look and check Da hidden, and I had to do it for a year and half. A problem with my classmates came out quick, and my parents took control of it. It was about Facebook, and, this time, they bullied me because I didn't have a FB account. My parents, after talking with the psychiatrist, asked me if I wanted a FB account, with them behind me to know what I did. I agreed, and my mom helped me do it. So, I had no problem to check Da in her eyes, in front of her, 'cause she knew what I was doing…or, part of it. She couldn't know more than me uploading more scraps to my account.
I met then this girl in Da, who started watching me, one of my first watchers. She was doing favorite and commenting my recent draws, and we ended up being friends. Her name's Andie, yup, it's Princess-Of-Freedom!
I started talking to her much more than I did with anyone I knew in real life, and those conversations cheered me up. I had fun and was happy to know someone, out in the world, was cheering me up, I had someone to trust on, even in the other side of the computer. Made me feel cool and fine, nothing was wrong then.
I had another problem after the bullying one. Anytime someone would do me something, a bad memory would pop and wouldn't stop bothering me. It was involuntary, so I couldn't take control of it. I had to live with them, without knowing what I could do against them.
That same year, I met TomFA, or Thomas, as I know him in real life. He and I had a strong friendship, and ended up more than that. Can't say it, but I'm sure (somehow without me knowing if I said it or not…) I said it once or indirectly.
When I had another problem, when I had a depression attack all of the sudden, my mom hook me into the conversation, and mentioned about all my life, 'cause I didn't notice it, really, back then. Da…my "friends"…Trini and Thomas… all. If it wasn't because of that, I probably wouldn't be writing all of this, since I tried suicide twice. I'm sure that, if nothing went right after that, probably would've done something stupid like suicide. I realized how good life can actually be and all, and I cried a lot that night. And, since then to know, I've been able to do things more calmed and see things in their good side, and left behind the pessimism I had. And, I also made myself a goal: make sure that the people close to me don't have the same problems as I did.
That's my dream and most important goal. Being known by leaving a step that people can follow, and make it so that we can live nice and happy, knowing the good stuff. No one deserves to be bullied or being treated bad, and make it so that people ruin others' life. And…who knows? Maybe you guys are aiming for similar things like me.
And that's why I'm still here in DeviantArt. Because I know that, somewhere, people can help in other places of the world. Besides, one of my goals is to be known with what I do and who I am. That's the 2nd most important, but still, is one of my dreams. I'm not aiming for a 50 or 90%. I'm aiming for 100% in everything, and that's what I like. Tough challenges.
But…enough about me. That's my story. So, what about yours?

iPhone Takes Screenshots of Everything You Do
Well this isn't creepy at all. Making matters worse…there doesn't seem to be any way to prevent it from doing this.
If you've got an iPhone, pretty much everything you have done on your handset has been temporarily stored as a screenshot that hackers or forensics experts could eventually recover, according to a renowned iPhone hacker who exposed the security flaw in a webcast Thursday.

Here's a public-education challenge for the oil and gas industry: Teach journalists the difference between production quotas set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and actual production.
When OPEC raises or lowers its quotas, many news agencies report that it has raised or lowered production.
It happened again Sept. 15. OPEC ministers in Vienna lifted the collective quota for members other than Iraq to 27 million b/d, effective Nov. 1, from 26 million b/d (OGJ Online, Sept. 15, 2004). And news agencies reported that OPEC was raising production by 1 million b/dnot all of them, of course, but enough to spread confusion.
As misreported, the story seems to be that oil supply soon will increase. In fact, OPEC members together already are producing 1 million b/d more than the new quota and can't manage much more. Quota compliance, always elusive, would in fact lower production.
To pick another nit, OPEC doesn't produce oil. Its members do. OPEC mainly holds meetings in nice hotels at which the oil ministers of member countries negotiate production quotas and eat well. Afterward, most members' oil industries produce at rates that best serve government revenue needs.
When production rates approximate quotas, as they sometimes do, analysts salute OPEC's management. When the rates stray greatly from quotas, as they also sometimes do, the analysts predict the group's demise.
In either case, OPEC ministers eat well at their meetings and probably smirk at those news stories announcing that they've agreed to adjust production rather than quotas.
Does this matter? Not much.
But the oil industry is big, complex, and destined never to be popularly understood. It would profit from any improvement to public understanding of its fundamentals.
Journalists who can't tell the difference between quotas and production probably don't know the difference between NGL and LNG, either, or between refining and production, or between ozone smog and greenhouse gas.
Imprecise reports issuing from such bewilderment do little for the quality of debate on issues crucial to the energy industry.
Yes, journalists should know better. Unless someone in the industry educates them, however, they never will.

"Fortunately art is a community effort - a small, select community living in a spiritualized world endeavor to interpret the wars and the solitude of flesh." - Allen GinsbergI went on a little road trip with a friend along the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway just south of Santa Fe, N.M. About midway through our Saturday adventure we came to a small village of about 400 residents called Madrid. I was quickly reprimanded by my friend that it is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable: MAD-rid not Ma-Drid!This historic and picturesque small town is apparently a haven for day-trippers like us who stop to find out more about this small piece of heaven nestled on the northeast side of the Sandia Mountains. When we arrived I was immediately drawn in by the mystique and intrigue of the colorful main street, not to mention some of the street signs such as, "Camino No Se" and "Peaceful Way."After we parked we began our exploration of the town. I was taken aback by the energy prevalent there. It felt as though I had literally entered another dimension. This dimension carried a frequency of other-worldliness with all the creativity, kindness, cooperation, support of one another, and sense of "community living in a spiritualized world."Most everyone residing in Madrid is an artist of some kind - a painter, a sculptor, a writer, a designer and builder of works of art, a jeweler, or any other sort of creative endeavor. And as far as I could intuit, everyone was extremely supportive of everyone else in each pursuit of a creative livelihood. In the community of Madrid it seems that the words of Piet Mondrian, "Art and life are not separate domains" is a living truth.Spending the afternoon sauntering down the lively streets and enjoying the dozens of galleries owned by the residents was like a trip back in time as well as a trip back to the future. The love energy present in all the artisans and residents brought back memories for me of the "peace-love-and-rock-n-roll" that was pervasive in the '60s, which I savored then, and do still today. And it brought me to the present time of the birthing of a new humanity for the future of humankind in which we consciously choose to embody those qualities of love, joy, community, service, creativity and peace.It seems the people of Madrid understand the concept of conscious evolution and the emerging possibility of sustainability in our world because they are co-creating just that in their village. Everything there is built on the foundation of cooperation, a big tenet of conscious evolution. The Madroids, as they are lovingly referred to, embody the qualities of the Essential Self - love, joy, unity, care for Mother Earth, cooperation, peace, awareness, creativity and co-creation. They seem to have an understanding of moving from ego to essence. They live by the creative impulse residing within them. They model for us a new way of being.The time spent in Madrid was so magical and inspiring that I didn't want to leave. And yet I know I will go back, many times. It might be a worthwhile "Bucket List" item for you to ink in to experience some day. What a great way to witness the new evolution, conscious evolution firsthand! I encourage you to find ways this week in which you experience the qualities of community, love, joy, compassion and peace.

Gestational diabetes is a condition that occurs during pregnancy. Like other forms of diabetes,gestational diabetes involves a defect in the way the body processes and uses sugars (glucose) in the diet. Gestational diabetes, however, has a number of characteristics that are different from other forms of diabetes.
Glucose is a form of sugar that is present in many foods, including sweets, potatoes, pasta, and breads. The body uses glucose to provide energy. It is stored in the liver, muscles, and fatty tissue. The pancreas produces a hormone (a chemical produced in one part of the body, which travels to another part of the body in order to exert its effect) called insulin. Insulin is required to allow glucose to enter the liver, muscles, and fatty tissues, thus reducing the amount of glucose in the blood. In diabetes, blood levels of glucose remain abnormally high. In many forms of diabetes, this is because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin.
In gestational diabetes, the pancreas is not at fault. Instead, the problem is in the placenta. During pregnancy, the placenta provides the baby with nourishment. It also produces a number of hormones that interfere with the body's usual response to insulin. This condition is referred to as "insulin resistance." Most pregnant women do not suffer from gestational diabetes, because the pancreas works to produce extra quantities of insulin in order to compensate for insulin resistance. However, when a woman's pancreas cannot produce enough extra insulin, blood levels of glucose stay abnormally high, and the woman is considered to have gestational diabetes.
About 1-3% of all pregnant women develop gestational diabetes. Women at risk for gestational diabetes include those who:
· are overweight
· have a family history of diabetes
· have previously given birth to a very large, heavy baby
· have previously had a baby who was stillborn, or born with a birth defect
· have an excess amount of amniotic fluid (the cushioning fluid within the uterus that surrounds the developing fetus)
· are over 25 years of age
· belong to an ethnic group known to experience higher rates of gestational diabetes (in the United States, these groups include Mexican-Americans, American Indians, African-Americans, as well as individuals from Asia, India, or the Pacific Islands)
· have a previous history of gestational diabetes during a pregnancy
Causes and symptoms
Most women with gestational diabetes have no recognizable symptoms. However, leaving gestational diabetes undiagnosed and untreated is risky to the developing fetus. Left untreated, a diabetic mother's blood sugar levels will be consistently high. This sugar will cross the placenta and pour into the baby's system through the umbilical cord. The unborn baby's pancreas will respond to this high level of sugar by constantly putting out large amounts of insulin. The insulin will allow the fetus's cells to take in glucose, where it will be converted to fat and stored. A baby who has been exposed to constantly high levels of sugar throughout pregnancy will be abnormally large. Such a baby will often grow so large that he or she cannot be born through the vagina, but will instead need to be born through a surgical procedure (cesarean section ).
Furthermore, when the baby is born, the baby will still have an abnormally large amount of insulin circulating. After birth, when the mother and baby are no longer attached to each other via the placenta and umbilical cord, the baby will no longer be receiving the mother's high level of sugar. The baby's high level of insulin, however, will very quickly use up the glucose circulating in the baby's bloodstream. The baby is then at risk for having a dangerously low level of blood glucose (a condition called hypoglycemia ).
Since gestational diabetes most often exists with no symptoms detectable by the patient, and since its existence puts the developing baby at considerable risk, screening for the disorder is a routine part of pregnancy care. This screening is usually done between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy. By this point in the pregnancy, the placental hormones have reached a sufficient level to cause insulin resistance. Screening for gestational diabetes involves the pregnant woman drinking a special solution that contains exactly 50 grams of glucose. An hour later, the woman's blood is drawn and tested for its glucose level. A level less than 140 mg/dl is considered normal.
When the screening glucose level is over 140 mg/dl, a special three-hour glucose tolerance test is performed. This involves following a special diet for three days prior to the test. This diet is set up to contain at least 150 grams of carbohydrates each day. Just before the test, the patient is instructed to eat and drink nothing (except water) for 10-14 hours. A blood sample is then tested to determine the fasting glucose level. The patient then drinks a special solution containing exactly 100 grams of glucose, and her blood is tested every hour for the next three hours. If two or more of these levels are elevated over normal, then the patient is considered to have gestational diabetes.
Treatment for gestational diabetes will depend on the severity of the diabetes. Mild forms can be treated with diet (decreasing the intake of sugars and fats, in particular). Many women are put on strict, detailed diets, and are asked to stay within a certain range of calorie intake. Exercise sometimes is used to keep blood sugar levels lower. Patients often are asked to regularly measure their blood sugar. This is done by poking a finger with a needle called a lancet, putting a drop of blood on a special type of paper, and feeding the paper into a meter that analyzes and reports the blood sugar level. In fact self-monitoring of blood glucose helps manage gestational diabetes and prevent complications. When diet and exercise do not keep blood glucose levels within an acceptable range, a patient may need to take regular shots of insulin.
Many babies born to women with gestational diabetes are large enough to cause more difficult deliveries, and they may require the use of forceps, suction, or cesarean section. Once the baby is born, it is important to carefully monitor its blood glucose levels. These levels may drop sharply and dangerously once the baby is no longer receiving large quantities of sugar from the mother. When this occurs, it is easily resolved by giving the baby glucose.
Prognosis for women with gestational diabetes, and their babies, is generally good. Almost all such women stop being diabetic after the birth of their baby. However, some research has shown that nearly 50% of these women will develop a permanent form of diabetes within 15 years. The child of a mother with gestational diabetes has a greater-than-normal chance of developing diabetes sometime in adulthood, also. A woman who has had gestational diabetes during one pregnancy has about a 66% chance of having it again during any subsequent pregnancies. Women who had gestational diabetes usually are tested for diabetes at the postpartum checkup or after stopping breastfeeding.
There is no known way to actually prevent diabetes, particularly since gestational diabetes is due to the effects of normal hormones of pregnancy. However, the effects of insulin resistance can be best handled through careful attention to diet, avoiding becoming overweight throughout life, and participating in reasonable exercise. A 2003 report also linked smoking to increased risk ofgestational diabetes.

Glucose— A form of sugar. The final product of the breakdown of carbohydrates (starches).
Insulin— A hormone produced by the pancreas that is central to the processing of sugars and carbohydrates in the diet.
Placenta— An organ that is attached to the inside wall of the mother's uterus and to the fetus via the umbilical cord. The placenta allows oxygen and nutrients from the mother's bloodstream to pass into the unborn baby.

Triploid African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) produced through cold shock 3 min post fertilization were compared to diploid offspring of the same parentage at 66 days of age. Triploid fish were significantly shorter (11%) and weighed less (18%) than diploids but showed no significant difference in mortality or cannibalism, which can be an important source of losses under aquaculture conditions. Erythrocytes of triploid fish were more oval shaped than the normal spherical shape of diploid erythrocytes, were significantly larger (38%) and had nuclei that were significantly larger (25%) than observed in diploid fish. Erythrocyte morphological characteristics show potential as an indicator for the detection of triploidy in African catfish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mrkrmark EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS The check-in was smooth and quick. Room was quiet and comfortable - linens were crisp and clean. All in all, a very good experience August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by solo702 Good sleeping The beds are very comfortable and make for good sleeping. August 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MMM247 Not the Sheraton Hotel experience I am used to I was disappointed with this stay. There were dirty socks left in the room behind the curtains and a dirty wash cloth under the chair. Hotel staff were not the usual friendly type - this was especially odd since this stay was in the south. When I called regarding the free continental breakfast, I was told I was not at the right level to receive the benefit but no explanation on how I could get to that level. This is not a typical Starwood experienced. August 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Happyrscott Excellent Hotel!!! We stayed here as a rest stop on the way to Florida and really enjoyed our stay! The overall hotel was very clean and polished, especially the guest rooms. The best part of our stay was the employee interaction! Check in was friendly, we were greeted in a very friendly manner by a housekeeper as we were making our way to the room upon arrival. The best part was the omelet chef at breakfast on the morning of 12/22/2012!! The breakfast was excellent!!! January 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Julie48 NC Farm Bureau Conference March 2013 150 ladies and guests attended the 3 day conference. A number of us chose to eat at the Seasons. My table of 3 arrived at 6:30PM. Waited 15 minutes for MENUS (I got some myself). Hostess said "they ran out of menus". Watched the room and saw a disorganized staff mostly carrying 1 dish at a time. Food delivered by guy in a jump suit (manager?). Observed other tables receiving food irradically and even the wrong bill. In short- a poorly run restaurant. March 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CDL2014 My Go-To Hotel in Durham I will always stay at this hotel when I visit Durham, North Carolina (which is often). Whenever I have to drive or fly in, this hotel is very easy accessible and clean! August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by michale always pleasant stay My wife and I stay here some 6 to 8 times a year when we attend seminars at Duke. The hotel is always a good experience and many restruants in the area, although the breakfast is among the best at the Imperial and they have the 'worlds best omlet maker' July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Larken Not as good as usual I stay here several times a year and usually enjoy this hotel. I'm usually taken pretty good care of as an SPG Platinum member, but this time I was put in a first floor room, had to go back and ask for a key to the club room and the wifi was abysmal so I was unable to get any work done. July 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KA110 Great Features Very elegant, bedding was super nice and employees are very accomodating. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tournament1 Very clean This hotel was very clean! Great amenities and friendly staff. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Doctor19104 Good for conference but lacking amenities I attended a 3day professional global health conference at this Sheraton. It is very convenient to the airport. The beds are comfortable and the rooms have been updated. Water and coffee are provided gratis in each room. There was no minibar nor any food or drinks (other than water) in the room. The beds are comfortable, the shower pressure is acceptable; but the hot water faucet came off in my hand on the bathroom sink. September 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by mom4 The bell staff is exceptional. Bell staff was exceptional. Had requested adjoining rooms several months prior and spoken to two different staff members in the 10 days prior. We had also requested a frig, and they called to say they didn't have anymore. At that time, asked " We are still adjoining right?'. Was assured we were. At check in we were told they don't guarantee adjoining rooms. Also cobwebs on ceilings of both rooms and carpet was dirty. March 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gordon31 Superior Service Hotel This is a superior hotel in every sense of the word. Our needs were met, special requests were taken care of promptly,food service was great, and personal attention was more than satisfactory. I am planning to reserve a room at the Sheraton Imperial for my upcoming visit to Durham next month. July 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ConnorC dated rooms Great staff- always- I stay here 5 or 6 times a year. The bedrooms are dated, public areas nicer. Noisy on side facing I-40. Access to the gym is a great plus (main reason I stay here, even with the $7 fee), but agree with other reviewer that they should have their own fitness center for those who don't need full gym. Food is fine and priced well. Good location. Even has a 2 mile jogging trail right by hotel. October 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MILLIE553 Customer Service The customer service at this hotel was outstanding. Dean the doorman met us with a smile that lasted throughout my stay. He was warn and welcoming.The check-in did not go as I planned with the 1st person but I quickly found another person who quickly found me a room. I had a little mishap there and Andrea quickly rectified it. Throughout my entire stay I found this to be the BEST CUSTOMER HOTEL SERVICE EVER! October 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ConnorC nice staff, needs updating the hotel is older. Staff always very professional. only gym is a very nice full servie fitness center next door, for $7-great for a full work out, but if you just want to run for 30 min on a treadmill, it is steep. Outdoor pool is nice The rooms are a bit beat up, though they have begun to update the bathrooms. lounge/business center are nice. restaurant breakfest buffet is good, other meals not very good. March 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ROSEDEDS2014 ROSE DEDS Show Owner From the bottom of my heart I would like to say THANK YOU to all of the employees of the Sheraton Imperial Hotel. I had the privilege of staying for 8 long long days. As one of the owners of the doll show I was amazed with the quality of care that was provided for all of us. I only had to ask and whatever I needed was provided. June 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by TaraKiwi Good room, bad food I was here recently for a conference. While the room with clean and comfortable, the food was not good at all - particularly lunch and dinner. Poor selection of healthy foods and fairly tasteless overall. The shining expection was breakfast for which I had a delicious omelet three mornings in a row. Also, very easy to get to the highway and anywhere else you might need to go in the Raleigh-Durham area. June 12, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kimmie67 May Stay Room 1005: Smells like the exhaust fan from a restaurant. All of the fumes from the Concierge Suite or the Restaurant must be leaking into this room. Heating/AC unit thermostat didn't work correctly, would go on and off. Like it kept tripping in the system. Not enough towels... For a two night reservation, I only had one bath towel, one hand towel and one washcloth. May 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by racrefsyst nice stay this room was really great. comfy bed and sll the amenities. August 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jerry98 Huge disappointment Upon check in I was greeted with the worst attitude ever. I was told that although I have a gold membership I would be extended no privileges as only platinum members get upgrades or benefits. My sister -- also a Starwood gold member had checked in half an hour earlier and said she received a complimentary upgrade to the concierge level and was sipping wine and enjoying hors d,oeuvres. October 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roland79 Excellent Stay Staff was very friendly, room was the quality expected from Sheraton, Seasons restaurant was excellent. We ate there twice for Dinner and twice for Breakfast, excellent made to order omelets and buffet. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CarolinaRecyclers Very, very nice. Most hotels should take lessons from this hotel's staff members Stayed here because our work conference was booked here. I usually feel like a hotel is a hotel, they are all about the same. Just give me clean sheets and a decently clean facility and I'm good. However, here after I checked in, I told my husband (who giggled at my comment) "The clerk that checked me in was one of the friendliest, most easy going ladies I have ever dealt with when checking in." Most desk clerks I've dealt are fine, but she was most definitely different. Through the rest of our stay, we found that this hotel was different in many other ways. They simply just just did everything right - not just okay, but very very good. The doormen too - they had a genuine cheery attitude and smile that will have you walking away with a smile and feeling (as corny as it sounds) a bit uplifted! I wish I could bottle whatever it is that this Sheraton feeds their employees and bring it home for my employees !! February 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nicksname Fitness Center fees Great fitness center and pool right on the grounds, so I thought I would enjoy the stay because daily exercise is important to me. Instead it turns out that you have to pay EXTRA to use the facilities. Most hotels do not charge that so I was dismayed. Otherwise, a nice facility. The staff was great. June 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by nora3994 Check In I sent my reservations in January., When we arrived at the hotel , at 12:00 the rooms were not ready. I can understand that. WHen I came back at 4:00 the rooms still were not ready. The lady with me was 83 years old and on oxygen, the staff did not show her any compassion, we finally got a room at 4:30. the lady that talked to us was very inconsiderate. March 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Stevied1 Front desk staff was not very friendly The front desk staff was not very friendly at either check- in or when I checked out. I am a gold member and thought I would have access to the club lounge, which was denied. Then I changed clothes to workout, called the front desk to find out where the fitness facility was. I was told I had to pay $7 to workout. I would not recommend this property to anyone! November 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JNC1977 Good stay My Alumni Association scheduled our annual Holiday party at the hotel, so my husband I and decided to spend the night. We were very thankful for the restuarant since the weater was cold and rainy when we arrived. We stayed one night, but everyone was nice and helpful. We were able to receive an early check-in and a late check-out without additional costs. December 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Donna513 Clean and comfy but lacking in amenities Double beds not queen. No microfridge in rooms. A small refrigerator can be reserved but not guaranteed, no microwave on it. These are the only reasons that i would choose another hotel, as even the low priced hotels have micro-refrigerators standard in their hotels. The "fancier" hotels such as sheratons, really need to catch up with the times! March 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Losanno Good Business Hotel; Very Friednly Staff This hotel is conveniently located and the staff are excellent (very friendly and accommodating). I stayed for a few nights and as a Platinum was upgraded to a Club Floor room. The Club Lounge includes breakfast, snacks, and even complimentary alcoholic beverages, which is a very nice touch. I'll return next time business calls me to the area. March 25, 2014

Sponsor: Travel website – India road trip [http://routebyroad.com]: Gardening has been considered to be one of the most therapeutic rewards for North Americans. Gardening stimulates all of the senses, giving great satisfaction and pleasure. Hydroponics is the growing of plants without the use of soil. There are a variety of benefits associated with hydroponic gardening. When plants are grown using hydroponics, the roots do not need to search for required nutrients. The nutrient solution is provided directly to them, which results in plant growth, which is more abundant. Incorporating hydroponics into an outdoor garden can help add interest and intrigue. The natural conditions available outdoors in the summer make it a perfect time to...Read More
The Pros and Cons of Going Hydroponic
Hydroponics is a Latin term, which literally means working water. What it means to horticulture is the growing of plants without soil. Hydroponic gardening is an exciting field that offers solutions to several problems faced in the world of food production. For impoverished people who live in a terrain or climate inhospitable to agriculture, hydroponics offers a means of growing food. In areas where food is traditionally produced, but where fields are over crowded or stripped of their nutrients, hydroponics is a way food can be produced using a minimum of space and resources. Hydroponic growth leads to an increase in production over traditional farming in two ways. For one, hydroponic gardening just plain saves space. Plants can be placed...Read More
The History and Growth of Hydroponics
Hydroponics means working water and comes from the Greek words hydro and ponos, meaning water and labor. Many different civilizations have utilized hydroponic growing techniques throughout history so they are not a new method of growing plants. Giant strides have been made over the years in this innovative area of agriculture. Throughout the last century, scientists and horticulturists have experimented with different methods of hydroponics. One of the potential applications of hydroponics that helped continue research was for growing produce in non-arable areas of the world. Hydroponics was also integrated into the space program as hydroponics easily fit into their sustainability plans. The research for their plans is ongoing. By the...Read More
Starting Small What Hydroponic Beginners Typically Grow First
Hydroponics is the concept of soil less gardening. The word hydroponics comes from two Greek words, hydro meaning water and ponics meaning labor. This concept has been around for thousands of years and many countries, including China, Holland, Germany, and Australia have used hydroponics for crop production with results that are quite amazing. Hydroponics is proven to have several advantages over regular soil gardening. The growth rate on a hydroponic plant is 30 to 50% faster than a soil plant that was grown under the same conditions. The yield of the plant is also greater. There are many reasons for the drastic differences between hydroponic and soil plants. Root growth is stimulated in the hydroponic plants due to the extra oxygen....Read More
Quick Results for your Hydroponic Veggies and Flowers
Have you ever wanted a garden that would produce beautiful flowers and delicious fruits year round? You can if you create a hydroponic garden in your home. A well-balanced nutrient solution for your hydroponic garden is the key to success. The nutrient solution circulates around the roots of your plant and the formula will either make your plants happy and fruitful or kill them. The perfect level must be found for the plants you are trying to feed. The pH level for plants determines what type of nutrient solution that they need. Acid loving plants need a pH level below 7 while other plants need a level above 7 to achieve optimal growth. In addition, for optimal absorption of the nutrient solution, air must be allowed to circulate around...Read More
Pondering the pH Factor in your Hydroponic Garden
There are many factors that are important in hydroponic gardening and one of the most important factors is the pH factor. The nutrients, water, trace elements, growing medium, and the gases at the roots have different electrical charges that are all engaged in a constant battle. All of these items surround the root system to exchange positive and negative charges, which helps the nutrients absorb into the roots to feed the plant. The pH is the most important factor to monitor because the pH of a nutrient solution reads the outcome of an electrical battle between the roots and everything that surrounds them. The run off from growing plants in pots is the best place to measure the pH level. The protein and enzyme molecules in a plant are...Read More

News Release
Thursday, February 17, 2011
Lyn Peters, Director of Communications
PH (360) 902-8731 firstname.lastname@example.com
DFI Joins WA Jump$tart, Community Organizations To Encourage Residents To Commit To Saving During "Washington Saves Week"
Washington joins national campaign aimed to help residents "Build Wealth, Not Debt"
OLYMPIA – The Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) is again working with the Washington Jump$tart Coalition and Washington Asset Building Coalitions to promote Washington Saves Week as part of the national America Saves Week campaign.
Organizations throughout our state are coordinating Saves Week activities aimed at changing behavior among individuals and families. For details, visit http://dfi.wa.gov/financial-education/wa-saves/.
Understanding that having an emergency savings, retirement funds and being able to manage one's debt are crucial to Washington residents' personal financial security, Governor Chris Gregoire has proclaimed Feb. 20-27, 2011 Washington Saves Week.
"Too many families are just one unexpected car repair away from financial trouble," Gregoire said. "I encourage all Washingtonians to participate in this program, and learn how to prepare for emergencies, or retirement. Financially stable families are key to our economic recovery."
Washington State Treasurer James L. McIntire agrees. His office clearly understands the importance of financial preparedness and fiscal responsibility.
"It is my job as State Treasurer to be fiscally responsible with state dollars so that we can make sound investments for the future and not incur more debt than we can afford," McIntire said. "The same is true for families across Washington. We need to save today for investments we want to make in the future - whether it is for college education, buying a new home or retirement. That is why our office works with organizations such as DFI and Jump$tart to provide financial education and resources to Washington families so we can 'Build Wealth, Not Debt'."
DFI is honored to be among the many organizations committed to helping Washington residents in their efforts to attain their goals of financial freedom.
"Part of carrying out DFI's mission — 'Regulating financial services to protect and educate the public and promote economic vitality' — includes helping consumers get the information and financial education they need to make sound financial decisions," DFI Director Scott Jarvis said. "Encouraging participation in Saves Week is an important component of that financial education."
We invite all Washington residents to participate in Saves Week, Feb. 20-27, 2011 by visiting www.americasaves.org and enrolling to be an American Saver. Submit your Washington Saves Week event or find an event in your area at http://dfi.wa.gov/financial-education/calendar.htm.
If your organization wants to support Washington Saves and promote the campaign, the Saves Week organizers offer a variety of promotional materials at http://www.americasavesweek.org.
A few ways your organization can get involved include:
- Distribute America Saves fliers and brochures and display America Saves posters
- Set up display/area for reading/research and Web access to saving, debt reduction and wealth building
- Host motivational workshops and topic seminars for patrons and employees
- Encourage enrollment as a Saver
- Place America Saves Week article(s) in employees newsletter and patron news
- Enclose an America Saves flier as a payroll stuffer
- Place a link to America Saves/Washington Saves on Web site and internal network
To learn more about the campaign and register, visit the national Web site www.americasavesweek.org or Washington Saves Week at http://www.dfi.wa.gov/financial-education/wa-saves/default.htm.
If you would like a presenter to come to your site, DFI and/or Washington Jump$tart member organizations can assist with finding a speaker. Send a request to email@example.com, email@example.com or contact Amy O'Donnell for more information at email@example.com.
Together we can show our support and commitment to helping our community members "Start Small, Think Big" and "Build Wealth, Not Debt."

When writing about your website, should you include the "http://" in your URL? Here's a rule of thumb. For offline use, such as business cards and envelopes, drop the "http://" prefix. But for anything electronic, such as word processing documents or e-mail messages, always include the "http://" because in many applications it makes your link clickable.

I think I found the solution I need . . .
I'm not the only one whose attention is in needed right now. Our computer is also in demand by others in my house. Those Webkinz don't take care of themselves, you know.
7 comments:
You need a wife to handle all the niggling little details of life so you can create!ReplyDelete
Webkinz? That's funny. We play with them at our house too and I'll give you a tip to keep them healthy.ReplyDelete
Are your children putting them to sleep in their beds when they're done playing with them?
Make sure they do that each time after they're done playing and your pet will be much happier and healthier. Remember to give them water and vitamins too.
You'll see a big improvement and you can leave them for days and weeks. It's not like the giga pets or some of the other ones that you have to keep alive and play with EVERY DAY!
My daughter tells me too that if you take them all on vacation that will boost their health but the price of a vacation for all of them is dependent on how many webkinz you have.ReplyDelete
OK, if I was being COMPLETLY honest, I was just on Webkinz.ReplyDelete
And not for my kids, either.
I have always, ALWAYS dreamed of having an Alice. Not the live-in, meddling, maid outfit part, but the cooking, cleaning, help with the Webkinz part :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for validating my wish!
I've always said I need Alice to come live at my house! I call dibs.... :)ReplyDelete
IF you find Alice, clone her and send her to my house.ReplyDelete

Virgin Atlantic: $2 gateside gift-wrapping at New York JFK
Virgin Atlantic is offering a special "wrapping service" for its New York passengers traveling with Christmas gifts.
Beginning Wednesday and running through Friday, the airline will post "Virgin Helpers" at its Terminal 4 gates at JFK "to assist passengers with their wrapping needs."
The service won't be free – it'll cost $2 per package – but Virgin Atlantic says that "unlike baggage fees, 100% of the proceeds will benefit Virgin Unite, the non-profit foundation of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group."
Virgin Atlantic's carry-on gift-wrapping option comes as the Transportation Security Administration continues to warn holiday travelers against bringing wrapped presents through screening checkpoints.
The agency says "while wrapped gifts are not prohibited, if a bag alarms our security officers (then they) may have to unwrap a gift to take a closer look inside."
But since Virgin Atlantic's "Helpers" will be posted at the gate and beyond security, its wrapping service will allow Christmas passengers to arrive at their destination with a wrapped present while still meeting security requirements.
"We're hoping to add a little extra holiday cheer to our passengers flying experience this holiday season," Chris Rossi, Virgin Atlantic's Senior Vice President for North America, says in a release.
