From Never Having Taken A College Class in June to FCCA Bound! - page 2
I completed 22 out 31 general education credits and all the nursing exams with Life Span 3 passed yesterday! All this was completed in about 5 months! I spoke to my advisor and she told me to look out for an email which will... Read More
0Nov 28, '12 by BarbaraNMQuote from CLUVLPNTHANK YOU!! Wow, that is very impressive... <letting the inspiration surround me> !!!!!!BarbaraNM: My routine was as follows: I completed the 22 gen ed credits from the end of June through the middle of October. During this time, I had also completed Transitions, Health Differences, Health Safety. I really wanted to make the FCCA by January, so I decided to go full speed ahead and knock out the remaining 5 nursing exams at the end of October. I took the remaining 5 exams over 5 weeks, one exam a week, using only studygroup 101 study guides as study material. I really like studygroup 101. Highly recommended.
0Nov 28, '12 by BarbaraNMQuote from Medic625WOW... more inspiration! Congratulations to you, too, Medic625! Info Lit - Penn Foster... ! Check it out!That's incredible! I also started the program mid-June. I've completed all my prereq's (except the info lit course) and 5 of the 8 nursing classes. I'm working on the LS ones now. I felt like I was flying through it, but now I think I should've used your plan. Good luck with the fcca.
0Nov 29, '12 by missnurse01congrats!
1Feb 25, '13 by CLUVRNNatnat122, I used studygroup 101 to reinforce the information that I already knew. About ninety percent of material on nursing exams I had committed to memory since I was taught the same material in my LPN program. The study guides were used only to clarify points that I was uncertain about; I did not study the entire guide word for word. This strategy helped me take one nursing exam per week with A's and B's on everything. I always live by the addage: Study smarter, not harder(ie, don't study material you already have mastered! Concentrate only on your weak areas). Hoped this helped a little. Good luck!

Flickr Integrated Photo Editors
19 Jul 2006
If you are looking for a simple photo editor, and don't mind the slowness of uploading your photos to a server for your quick fixes, you should give
(pronounced pix-en-ate) a try. It provides all the basic corrections like an auto-exposure (called Enhance), fill flash, rotation and even some manual control over saturation, brightness and hue. But what's particularly cool about PXN8 are the fun tools, including the easiest way to round the corners of your image that I've seen yet, and a nice little lomo filter. PXN8 also integrates easily with Flickr, so once you've uploaded your photo, getting the edited image into your Flickr account is a simple button press. PXN8 is for smaller images (under 1Mb)... uploading a jpeg image from my 20D (about a 6 Mb file) took a painfully long time, and then it resized the image down to a web size. But once my photo was uploaded, all of the corrections were very quick. For the image above, I applied the lomo effect (which would have worked better on a darker image) and rounded the corners, pushed the changes over the Flickr and was done in about a minute. Or, for even an even more tightly integrated editor, check out
, which works on photos you've already uploaded to Flickr, but want to make quick changes to. Moving into the "editing" space was a bit slow for my large images, but unlike PXN8, Preloadr seems to keep my image size intact... so it's not too surprising it's not as zippy. Preloadr also offers more advanced tools, like layers, a histogram and even an exposure curve... but leaves off some of the cool quick fixes (like the lomo filter and rounding the corners.) Still, if you are working with 1Mb or smaller file sizes and just need to brighten up your whites or saturate your colors, Preloadr may be what you need. Technorati Tags:

Caitlin Woods - Miss Uintah County
I am, Caitlin Woods, Miss Uintah County 2013-2014. This year with my title I have been able to do so much with my platform an addiction free life. Being raised with addictions plaguing my family for generations, I knew I wanted to make a change somehow. It wasn't until a series of life changing trials in my family and community that I decided I had to become pro-active. Friends and loved ones were dying from their addictions. Marriages were falling apart, even in my own home. So, I decided that I needed to make a difference. I am working to help people find their freedom and gain their lives back from their addictions. This is a national struggle! My platform "An Addiction Free Life" has already started to change lives. I am now a co-founder of Allegiance Addiction Recovery Center. In a way, my trials have created my dreams. I would like to thank my parents and family for supporting me throughout this crazy but amazing journey. I would also like to thank my amazing sponsors that have helped support me financially to be able to provide the things which I have for the community. There are so many other people that I would like to thank for sharing their support and stories with me. I would like to make a special thank you to my beautiful Miss Tess Barton and her family. They have been along side of me through everything as well as Marrin Pearson and everyone who helps with our pageant. This has been an unforgettable year and I cannot thank everyone enough!
Marrin Pearson - Miss Outstanding Teen
My year as Miss Uintah County's Outstanding Teen has been magical! When I first started to compete for this amazing title a year ago, I thought I would never win. When pageant day came I decided I was just going to go out on the stage and have fun. At the end of the night I was proud of how I had done, and then when they announced my name as the new Miss Outstanding Teen, I was shocked. This year has been full of fun and amazing activities that I will never forget. I have been so blessed to not only participate in the activities all over the County but to be able to go to schools and church groups to spread and share my platform, In My Skin. It has been so much fun to help the community with anything and everything they need. Also being a role model has been awesome. A big part of being Miss Outstanding Teen for Uintah County was that in October I got to go compete with 27 other talented and beautiful girls for the title of Miss Utah's Outstanding Teen. It was such a blast being able to go compete and represent the County and meet fantastic new friends. This past year I have learned so much about myself that I never knew. It has also helped me improve in so many different things. I used to be pretty shy and quiet, and now I can't go anywhere without talking to at least one new person.

Childcare Dilemna

Sorry to hear the sitter isn't going to work out; it sounds like she really wants more of a nanny position. Good luck with the home daycare search. Barrett was in home daycare for about a month while I worked a temporary job. It worked out great for both of us. The woman watching him was very experienced and professional, and Barrett had the opportunity to interact with other children and play with new toys :) I am sure you will find someone who you like and can trust with taking care of David! Please keep us updated.
|Thu, 06-24-2010 - 5:01pm
Well as it turns out she told me this morning before I had a chance to talk to her she was resigning. She said she needed more $ around $15. I don't know where she's going to find that kind of $ around here to be honest as most of the babysitters are going between 7-9. $15 maybe more for a nanny but a good one. Also she said needed to find something closer to home. She drives 25 minutes to get here. So anyway we are going to try and find an in home daycare for my son. We found a few providers that are pretty good. One I just got an email from she only wants to watch 3 kids at most which I really like the idea of. None of them are more than 4 kids total and some of them even have 2 adults per 4 kids. All of them are within 5 minutes of our house.
Her freind will watch our son as next week is her last week until we can find something else. She watched him while our sitter was on vacation. She said she would watch him evenings/weekends if we ever needed anyone.
I can't blame her if they need the $. I know they've had a lot of house repairs lately but we just can't afford that kind of money. I don't know who can afford to pay a sitter $15 especially if it's not evening/weekend. We pay her $11.00 for evening weekend. Maybe a doctor or a lawyer but definately not my husband or I.
I think part of it is her friend is a nanny and they do a lot more and she makes $15 but she watches 3 kids and takes them places. She doesn't have experience as a nanny and only has 1 year of childcare experience all together. So I think maybe she thinks she should make that much. but when I went through the childcare websites and looking for sitters the going rate here is around 7/9 for regular and about 10/12 for evening/weekend except for teens it's a little less.
|Thu, 06-24-2010 - 3:30pm
I hope your conversation with her went well. If it were me, I would tell her what is up, just like others have said.

Can you and your sitter come up with a compromise where she has the ability to make additional income while still watching David for the same amount? Would you be willing to let him go to her home or have her watch another child at the same time in your home? If you guys could work something like that out, she could still be making at least $8/hour and you wouldn't have to pay any more!
|Tue, 06-22-2010 - 2:12pm
I'm not BTDT, but I think it's totally reasonable for you to ask her if she can work 6 hours a day (and mention that the fees of the day-care). I'd tell her that you would understand if she wasn't able to do it, and that you would prefer to stick with her since you like her so much, but that you will have to go with day-care if she's not able to do it. I'm sure she won't fault you for getting the most for your money, especially if you make it clear it's not about her qualifications or anything.
If she does decline, I would make sure to let her know that you still want to use her for evening/weekend sitting.
Good luck!

Howdy All,
Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday, sorry I didn't reply sooner but with the holiday and family visiting from all over that map I just didn't have the time.
Since yesterday I have taken the time to "research" webalizer posts here and have noticed that I am not the only one with this problem. I have tried some of the suggestions here and I have noticed a few differences possibly related to my using Fedora Core 5.
I first tried to check my "cron" file by running crontab -e. This file came up empty. Yet I found a crontab file, the contents are such:
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
I have also found cron folders ( cron.hourly, cron.daily, and so on) in the /etc directory. In the cron.daily folder is a file called 00webalizer. The contents of which is a simple if statement:
if [ -s /var/log/httpd/access_log ]; then
exec /usr/bin/webalizer -Q
I have found webalizer stats files in the "/var/lib/webalizer/" directory. Oddly they are current. These files are pretty cool and informative...but there is no individual info for the different virtual web sites and I can only access the info from the above directory.
My guess is that I have to make some changes to the webalizer.conf file. Yet there are quite a few and I'm not sure which to change and what changes to make!
Hope all this helps...I realize this is alot of info! But I figured more was better!

Title: Perfect for rainbow party
Date: Apr 04, 2014
There were a few boxes that were glued incorrectly and I had to pull apart and then tape the bottom when putting together, but was so pleased with appearance it was no big deal. The size was perfect to make them look full. Last year the boxes I ordered were too big. Very happy overall with product, service and delivery.

Rick Carter's Board of Education Inauguration Speech
Board of Education Inauguration
December 3, 2012
I would like to thank everyone for coming out today for the inauguration. I especially want to thank the board for their confidence in electing me to serve as their chair.
My next thanks are to Tap Fitzgerald, our outgoing chairman. Tap has done an outstanding job this past year guiding us through what seems like a never ending series of difficult budget years. His soft spoken, easy going demeanor has served the board well. Again, thank you Tap.
This will be my ninth year as a school board member. Over that time I have attended hundreds of meetings, performances, and events. But over that time three days a year have become most special to me.
The first is each year the school department has a breakfast on the first staff day back from summer break. The entire staff meets at South Portland High School for breakfast and then a presentation in the auditorium. To visit with and witness the incredible talent we have at all levels gives me great pride as a school board member, gives me thanks as a parent when my sons were in school and still now that they're not, and gives me hope for the future of all of our kids in South Portland.
The second day I look forward to is in the spring the South Portland Teachers Association has its annual retirement celebration. Here retiring teachers are recognized and honored. Some I have known as teachers of my sons, to whom I give special thanks, while others I may be meeting for the first time. In either case, to be in the room with teachers who have dedicated their lives to educating and improving the lives of thousands of children over the years is humbling.
The third day is South Portland High School graduation. It is the day that we, as students, parents, families, teachers, and community celebrate education. We recognize and honor the hard work, dedication, commitment and spirit that our kids have given over their year in our schools. We cry with sadness that they are leaving and pride that they are going forward, all the time knowing we have prepared them for success.
These three days have become very important to me. Individually they represent the beginning and end of a person's education story in South Portland with the beginning of school to graduation for students or retirement for teachers. Collectively they represent a commitment to excellence in education.
As I said earlier, this will be my ninth year as a school board member and in that time I have witnessed tremendous challenge, change and growth. Before I joined the board, in 2001, with citizens backing, South Portland built or renovated our elementary schools. Also with citizen backing we are currently undergoing a complete renovation of South Portland High School. Both votes exemplify the strong support South Portland has always given its schools.
But beyond the facilities, we have pushed education reform to address the various needs of different students. We have stressed the importance of rigor, relevance, and relationships. We know as educators and parents that if kids are challenged they will meet that challenge. We know as educators and parents that if kids don't see the relevance of what they are being taught they will tune out. We know as educators and parents that a child will thrive when they have a positive relationship with an adult at school, whether it is a teacher, an ed tech, or a bus driver.
We must ensure that we have the right people in place to do the job, that we have the right infrastructure, and that we have the right educational practice in place to ensure each student's success. And I believe that we do. Our improvements in facilities, staff and programming have not gone unnoticed. For example, our elementary school population has increased from 1343 in 2001 to 1543 in 2012, a 15% increase. This increase is a result of all of the hard work that has taken place over the past decade. I couldn't be prouder that South Portland is once again the school system where parents want their kids. We have become an education destination. But we can't stop there. We must continue to improve. We must strive for the success of all students. We must work together as board members, educators, parents, city officials and community, for there is nothing that we do as a society that is more important than educating our children.
Thank you.
Rick Carter, Board Chair

But perhaps it doesn't do to overemphasize Puglia's rustic lack of sophistication; witness the photographs displayed on Bruce's website that show her new collection modeled by a local girl on the beach nearby. "She's not a model, though," clarifies the designer. "She's a law student."
On a veranda, Moroccan woven-reed cushions, topped with pillows covered in raffia-trimmed silk by Liza Bruce, line a banquette; the table has an African stool for a base topped with a tin tray, and the brass lantern is Moroccan, as are the straw mats on the floor and wall.

I may purchase one of these, I want to play new Pokemon and Zelda games, but didnt want the 3ds...but this...this makes me happy
I thought this was a wind-up at first: BBC - Newsbeat - Nintendo aims at young gamers with new handheld console
top-hw-red.pngNintendo has announced it is launching a new handheld games console, seen by many as an attempt to strengthen profits.The new 2DS, a stripped down budget version of its 3DS model, will go on sale in Europe on 12 October 2013.
Announcing the 2DS as an "entry point" console, Nintendo confirmed it will be compatible with all DS games.
One analyst described the move as coming "out of the blue".
"Nintendo is expressly going after a market it's always really known how to cater for: kids." said Daniel Krupa, UK Games Editor at IGN.com
"If anything I would've expected an upgraded version of the 3DS, not a budget version."
They have also announced price cuts to the Wii U with the Deluxe version down to £192 from £225.
I'd be surprised if the new handheld sells TBH. With smartphone gaming going stratospheric the age of the dedicated handheld in almost over I think.

A lot of recent releases have been 3DS only so if more DS games come out my kids will be happy.
I thought this was a joke at first... it's not that nice.
No folding, the screens are going to get scrached.
2d... i can do that on my 3ds.
Better battery life, but only just.
Plays DS games... so does the 3ds.
Nintendo are worried about not making as much money as they expected, so they release something pointless instead of making more GOOD games.
The Zelda WiiU looks cool though.
I think the 2ds shape might make it more comfortable to hold for long periods of time. I cant afford to shell out for a 3ds xl which i would really love, and i rarely take it any further than the car. the screens should be ok if it lives in a case i suppose. It looks like its designed to live on a table and be played from the tabletop, which would lead to uncofrtable sitting positions though
That's actually quite appealing. I never turn the 3D on when using a 3DS (so it's pointless to me) and my plucky old mk1 DS has cracked apart. I can't stand mobile games apart from Angry Birds - I'd buy this just to play Mario Kart 7 alone.
I don't really understand why it doesn't fold...it just looks weird. Surely with all the DS releases, the hinge and whatever components connect the screens are not exactly expensive any more?
Could the not folding be a problem? I know in some DS games ive played, closing and opening it was required to solve puzzles.
So whats the verdict? To little too late or perhaps a surprise hit for them?
I think it'll do well tbh.
I think the point is that many parents, me included, did not buy a 3ds for their children because the 3d caused problems and was proven to harm the development of their eyes. A cheaper non 3d version? Yes I am interested.
Up against Nexus7's, iPad Mini's and mobile phones I don't really see much of a future market for dedicated handheld consoles. The main problem I have (and the reason I never bought one) isn't so much the hardware but the fact that Nintendo still insist on charging £30-40 for their handheld games and I just don't see how they can justify charging as much as a full price console game.
A tablet or smartphone might cost slightly more initially but at least once you own the thing most of the apps are free or next to nothing to buy.
It'll be interesting to see how the tablet style 2DS feels ergonomically compared to the clamshell design though as I always found my old DS too small to play comfortable for any longer then 15 minutes.

I cant help but feel nintendo dropped the ball in recent years with the WiiU and 3DS, interesting point made by Haggis though about price of online gaming, mobile platforms are starting to take off a bit now I think, it will end up with only the big boys like Sony bucking the trend here, largely because of the more adult natured games, nintendo have long been a bit too childish for me and all cute and cartoony.
Yuh, as an old-time Ninty fan I don't really get this one either! I suppose it's a kids (i.e. under 7s) version of the 3DS - so that the 3D effects don't ruin the development of their eyesight - and to mop up that corner of the market?!! I can't see it being a big hit tho, I mean the raw appeal of the DSes was the the flip open/fold away portability. So I wonder how long it'll be until Ninty release the 2DS XL... I think it's high time they innovated some more instead of just reinventing the Nintendo DS/Wii.

Best Unsecured Credit Card After Bankruptcy?
Q: How soon can you get an unsecured credit card after bankruptcy? I'm a few months out and want to rebuild my credit and get one that's unsecured as soon as possible.
A: Getting unsecured after a bankruptcy is definitely an uphill battle, but it's not impossible. There are a few things to keep in mind:
- Don't randomly apply, instead use this strategy
Every time you apply for credit (of any form) something called an "inquiry" is recorded on your credit report. Having too many of those inquiries can negatively affect your score (until 12 months later, when they are no longer counted in FICO's scoring model). So to minimize the number of inquiries made, you need to be strategic and NOT randomly apply for cards. Your best best is to check first if you are matched for any offers. There is only one issuer that I'm aware of that let's you do this.
- Be realistic with your expectations in today's credit environment
Yes, it's been a while since "the great recession" but that doesn't mean banks went back to doing business like they used to (giving credit to anyone with a pulse). Creditworthiness has to be proven now more than ever. An unsecured credit card after bankruptcy discharge probably won't happen immediately. You'll likely have to start with a secured card for at least a little while, but some are a lot better than others (which we'll discuss in a moment).
- Stay away from creditors that were part of your bankruptcy
Example: If a Bank of America credit card was part of your chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy filing and they lost out on thousands of dollars, the last thing you want to do is hit them up for an unsecured credit card afterward (or at least not for quite a while). As a general rule, when you're in the early stages of rebuilding your credit, it's probably best to stick with banks that were not burned in your bankruptcy filing. For example, I've heard American Express won't even touch you with a 10 foot pole if you included them in your filing.
- Don't use a high percentage of your credit limit
Whether you end up getting a secured or unsecured credit card, don't use a high percentage of your credit limit. Why? Because a part of your FICO score is the credit utilization ratio (what percentage of your credit limits you use). Most people wrongly assume that the more they spend, the better… that's not how it works.No one knows the magic ratio since that information is FICO's secret, but the consensus is that using more than 10 percent to 30 percent of your credit limit at any given time will negatively impact your score. So spending above 30 percent of your credit limit should be avoided. Keep in mind that even if you pay your balance in full every single month, the amount reported to the credit bureaus is the balance listed when your billing cycle closes (before your payment is made).
How to get an unsecured credit card?
As mentioned, getting one right after a bankruptcy discharge probably won't happen. You will likely have to start out with a secured card and then transition to an unsecured card.
- If you are less than 18 months out it's going to be difficult to get an unsecured account. And if you're at this stage, you don't want to just randomly start applying for unsecured cards and hoping for the best, because each credit application results in a hard pull inquiry (a credit check) which can adversely impact your score for up to 12 months. Being that you're already at the bottom, the negative effect on your score may seem trivial. But still, it's best to avoid that, right? This is why I recommend you check out this affordable secured card if you fall under this category.
- If you are more than 18 months out, your chances of getting approved for a basic unsecured account are better (although you may have to wait 'til ~24 months out). When I say "basic" I'm talking about a no-frills credit card without a rewards program (and you don't see a lot of those nowadays). You can view the best ones here.
Something to keep in mind: If you get an unsecured card… great! If you get a secured card… that's also great! Either type will work just fine credit building purposes, assuming you use it responsibly and the account reports to all three credit bureaus.

As the once-touted savings of municipal electric aggregation programs start to recede across some Illinois communities, Des Plaines officials want to wait until June before deciding whether to place an aggregation referendum question on the November ballot.
Utility giant Commonwealth Edison is expected to announce its newest electricity supply rate by June 1, Des Plaines officials said. That rate will help aldermen decide whether the city's residents could realize any savings on their electricity bills by switching to a third-party electricity supplier.
"You wonder, should we even do it?" questioned Ald. Dick Sayad, 4th, at a recent Des Plaines City Council meeting where aldermen agreed to table the discussion of an aggregation referendum until the June 16 meeting.
"Maybe three years ago, this might have been a great idea to do," Sayad added.
Following a change to state law in 2010, more than 600 Illinois towns, counties and townships have ditched ComEd or downstate utility provider Ameren Illinois for a third-party supplier, according to the Illinois Commerce Commission's Plug In Illinois website.
At the time, many of those communities where voters passed referendums on municipal electric aggregation claimed big savings for residents and eligible small-business owners.
Des Plaines officials declined to place an aggregation referendum question on the ballot, opting instead to let individual residents decide whether to leave ComEd for another electricity supplier.
The North Shore Electricity Aggregation Consortium — which includes the member communities of Deerfield, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Park Ridge and Skokie — claims to have saved its participating residents and small business owners more than $32 million over ComEd's electricity supply rate from June of 2012 through this May.
Much of those savings, though, were due to ComEd being locked into an expensive, long-term electricity supply contract that expired last June, according to David Kolata, executive director of the consumer advocacy group, Citizens Utility Board.
"It was very easy for companies to undercut the utility price," Kolata said.
From October of 2012 through May of 2013, ComEd's electricity supply rate hovered around 8.3 cents per kilowatt hour, according to ICC figures. Some third-party suppliers, meanwhile, boasted rates around 4.1 c/kWh.
ComEd's rate plunged in June of last year, and is now listed on the ICC's website as 5.523 c/kWh for the period of January through May of this year. That rate, however, does not reflect a monthly "purchased electricity adjustment" that can either raise or lower the rate by up to 0.5 c/kWh in a given month.
As third-party supplier rates start to match or exceed ComEd's rate, some communities have sent residents back to ComEd.
Officials in Fox River Grove rejected third-party supplier bids last June, according to a village news release, as the bids failed to produce any savings over the ComEd rate.
The village plans to seek new bids once ComEd announces its new rates, the release states.
Those new rates are not likely to offer the various third-party suppliers with much room to beat the utility provider, Kolata said.
"It it's just a pure commodity competition, it's doubtful you'll see many great deals," Kolata said. "To some extent, it's tough to undercut the utility price."
But, Kolata added, those third-party suppliers could find a market by offering an added value over the utility company, either through investments in "green" energy or utilizing technology to help communities achieve greater energy efficiency.

Darci Marchese,
NANJEMOY, Md. - Can you imagine being outdoors all day at summer camp in this heat? Some experts say make sure your child is educated and slathered in sunscreen before he walks out the door.
"Start talking at home about how to be safe in the sun," advises Doria Fleisher, Associate Director at Melwood's Camp Accomplish in Nanjemoy, Md.
She says parents need to make sure their children are aware of the dangers of heat exposure and to be aware of what their bodies are telling them.
Fleisher says teach children to speak up to their camp counselors and tell them when they get tired or need a break. She says children also need to take personal responsibility and make sure to drink plenty of water.
She also advises kids to help out other kids. If children see a fellow camper without water, make sure to encourage him to drink up.
If you have younger children, don't take a chance of letting them put on their sunscreen after they arrive at camp. She says slather on the sunscreen at home.
Fleisher says put the sunscreen on scalps, arms, legs, shoulders, ears and even in between their toes depending on their shoe-wear.
What do camps do in extreme heat? It's all about flexibility.
Fleisher says they bring children in from the outdoors and switch to indoor activities.
She says they take on the "we're not going to be able to do that today let's do this instead" mentality.
While extra pool time is a good option, there are dangers associated with that, too.
She says pools are "actually a great place for kids to get dehydrated because they don't notice that they're hot."
She says they take several water breaks while at the pool.
While kids get hot and sweaty, Fleisher says there's still room for fun.
She says during last year's mini heat wave, they painted the kids during "Jungle Week" and had fun spraying everyone with a hose to remove the paint and have fun staying cool.

The requirements for filing a Certificate of Foreign Birth are the same as for other adoptions. Oregon law provides for the issuance of a Certificate of Foreign Birth if a child born outside the United States to parents who are not U.S. citizens is adopted through an Oregon Court. A child born in Canada to parents who are not U.S. citizens will have a new birth certificate created by the Province where the birth occurred. If a Certificate of Foreign Birth has already been filed in another state and the child is re-adopted by a second set of adoptive parents, the documents should be forwarded to the state where the first Certificate of Foreign Birth record was filed.
If a child is born abroad to at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, the birth certificate is usually registered through the U.S. Department of State at the time of birth. If a person born abroad is not registered through the U.S. Department of State before the age of 18, then proof of citizenship needs to be obtained from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Naturalization office.
When a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Oregon approves an adoption for a Foreign Born child, the Oregon Vital Records office prepares a new birth record and the original birth record and the adoption documents are placed in a sealed file. Vital Record sealed files can only be opened through a court order from an Oregon Court even when the birth parents are known to the adoptee or the adoptive parents.
To create a new birth record and issue a certificate after a court has approved and filed the adoption decree, we need the following:
An original certified copy of an Adoption Report form showing the original seal and signature of the court official certifying the document. If an Adoption Report is not available, we must have an original certified copy of the Adoption Decree and an adoption fact sheet. The fact sheet provides information about the adoptive parents for the new birth record that may is missing in the adoption decree.
A $50 fee. This fee includes an amendment fee of $30 and a $20 fee for a certified copy of the new birth record.
A completed birth record order form The order form should list the child's new adoptive name and adoptive parents' names. The Vital Records mailing address and payee information are available on this form.
For children born outside the United States except Canada:
Tony Bojanowski, firstname.lastname@example.com
When you call or email, please provide:
1. The name of the child before and after adoption, date of birth and place of birth;2. The approximate date the court approved the adoption and/or the date you submitted the documents and the fees to our office;3. Whether you received any correspondence from our office or submitted any additional fees or documents in separate mailings.
When preparing an Adoption Report for submittal to a court in Oregon, see Form DE45-24.
Adoption Information Sheet: If you are submitting an original certified copy of a Adoption Judgment/Decree, please complete the Adoption Information Sheet Form 45-20 and submit with the court document.

AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- The simple things can be the hardest to do in fashion, because you have to do them well.
Take the white shirt. Designers Peter Som and Max Azria both said a plain white button-down shirt is their favorite thing to see on a woman, and versions of it have been on nearly every catwalk during the previews of Spring 2014 at New York Fashion Week that entered their third day Saturday.
But these basics are far from simple for designers. Prabal Gurung said that with such crisp pieces, you can't hide behind embellishment or interesting fabric. When it's simple, it has to be perfect.
"Ease isn't easy," echoed Jason Wu, who showed feather-light and sometimes sheer slip dresses that were carefully constructed. "The things you think are going to be simple can sometimes be really hard."
Lucky magazine Editor in Chief Eva Chen wore a white button-down to previews on Friday and said the versions popping up on runways -- whether as detail peeking out from a dress or reflecting spare 90s minimalism -- are "nothing if not wearable -- with jeans and ballet slippers, with a ballgown, and everything in between."
"This season, when it comes to choosing a white shirt, it IS all about the tweaks and the details. Is the cut cropped (a silhouette of the season, whether you like it or not!), are there details or embellishments at the collar?" she said by email. "Those details are what feminize a white shirt and make it special."
As if fashion fans didn't already know his name and the youthful, hipster aesthetic he owns at New York Fashion Week, Alexander Wang spelled it all out for them at his runway show Saturday.
Several of the models who zigzagged the complicated catwalk at the West Side pier that the designer often uses wore looks adorned with "Wang."
Wang, who now splits his time between his own label in New York and Balenciaga in Paris, sat Kanye West, Kerry Washington and Miguel in his front row and first came out with uncharacteristic crisp and clean looks. Think of the cotton miniskirts and cropped button-downs that his downtown muse would wear if they were invited to the country club over a weekend.
Eventually, though, those morphed into laser-cut leather, which seems more of a fit for his customer.
Erin Wasson, a longtime friend of Wang's, walked in a white jumper -- sans shirt -- that hid the designer's name under each pleat, visible with each step.
It's "Wang-xiety," said Courtney Love from her front-row seat.
Prabal Gurung's spring collection was built on the idea of "the idealized woman."
But don't confuse Gurung's feminine muse with a girly one: The sheath dresses with unexpected cutouts and harnesses, and the pearlescent pink shirtdress and sky-blue draped dress with a cascading back ruffle were more chic than sweet.
He also showed a crisp white shirt -- seemingly simple from the front --that had an open back engineered with a clear, plastic harness.
The finale gown, a black column with a white satin panel embroidered with vertical blocks of black and purple sequins, was incredibly artful and worthy of the elaborate stage setting. Gurung had all the models boxed inside clear plastic panels, and one by one, they'd take a spin around the runway.
Transparency was a theme here, including an eye-catching sheer sheath with a giant, hand-embroidered red rose, paired with a slim rose-painted pencil skirt. There also was a printed PVC raincoat worn with green silk skinny pants.
Gurung said in an interview that sometimes the craftsmen he works with are skeptical of his requests, but together they'll take the risks. "They look at me perhaps as if I have 12 heads, you know," he said. "I always say, 'Look, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out,' but at least we have the satisfaction of trying."
Jill Stuart had rock chicks on holiday in mind for her edgy but girly spring collection.
Caftans, micro-minis and teeny shorts with tunics came mostly in the requisite black and white for a beachy yet chic-y vibe.
The designer said in a backstage interview that she had just returned from Patmos in Greece when inspiration struck, though this Stuart girl is a rock girlfriend of yore.
"I was thinking what they should be wearing on this great holiday, or what they'd be wearing back in 1971 and in the south of France," she said.

Thanks a ton!! I think they should be shipping soon I hope! :D Come post a photo in the shirt on my facebook wall if you have a chance, I'd love that! :D facebook.com/rtofirefly

This is great. Believe it or not I was on the verge of doing similar but just with Matt Smith on Dalek drums. Spotted your far better version in the Tee Fury forums whilst struggling to do a Matt caricature and obviously gave up the idea! I bow down to your greater vision and far better execution ;)
Well thank you very much! Great minds think alike :)
– rtofirefly
Haha, thanks Bamboota that means a lot! I know your PROCRASTINATE shirt is going to kick some major ass…once it's done watching tv :)

This was definitely well done. Brilliant idea.
Why, thank you very much! :)

Thank you very much Adam!

Awesome concept. Bought this on teefury (wearing it right now to be exact)
my god that's adorable
Just a small warning. If you buy this shirt in Dark Blue, the shoes that are outside of the circle are very hard to see, at least on the shirt I got.
I bought the girlie fit t-shirt – amazing, I've now gone and bought the hoodie so I'm never without – this is the best Who shirt I've ever seen – mixes my love of Who and music perfectly – can't wait to show it off at the Doctor Who Experience! Thanks for making it – truly inspired!
so glad you love it! thank you so much! :)

Chandy inaugurates Thunchathu Ezhuthachan Malayalam University
Keralites living in different parts of the globe got their best birthday gift ever on Kerala Formation Day on Thursday with Chief Minister Oommen Chandy inaugurating Thunchathu Ezhuthachan Malayalam University.
Described by politicians, academics and literary luminaries, who witnessed the inaugural, as a "dream-like gift for the Malayali on the 56th birthday of Kerala," the university will not only promote Malayalam but also encapsulate the quintessence of Malayalam culture and its legacy.
Mr. Chandy lit a lamp and unveiled a plaque announcing that Malayalam as a language, with five Jnanpith laureates to its credit, deserved much more than it was getting.
"Our next aim is to gain the Malayalam language the classical status," the Chief Minister said to the applause of a large gathering at Thunchanparambu, courtyard of the home of Thunchathu Ezhuthachan, the patriarch of Malayalam language.
Love for language
"We (Malayalis) are not fanatics but we are aficionados (of Malayalam). We love our language," Mr. Chandy said. Describing Malayalam as a global language, the Chief Minister said it was not confined to Kerala alone. "This is a moment of glory for the Malayali diaspora around the world," he said.
The Chief Minister said that generations born and brought up outside Kerala should also speak Malayalam. The Malayalam Mission, he said, would do everything possible for that. He congratulated Education Minister P.K. Abdu Rabb, who presided over the function, and Vice-Chancellor K. Jayakumar, who was special officer for the university, for their efforts to materialise the university.
He also honoured the winners of the Ezhuthachan Award, the biggest recognition by the government for language and literature. He draped award-winners M.T. Vasudevan Nair and T. Padmanabhan with shawls.
Minister for Finance K.M. Mani, Minister for Power and Transport Aryadan Mohammed, Minister for Tourism A.P. Anil Kumar, E.T. Mohammed Basheer, MP; Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, Deputy Leader of the Opposition; MLAs Abdurahman Randathani, M.P. Abdussamad Samadani, P.Sreeramakrishnan, P. Ubaidulla, T.A. Ahamed Kabeer, M. Ummer, N. Shamsuddin and Mohammedunni Haji; district panchayat president Suhara Mampad; writers C. Radhakrishnan and M.M. Basheer, Collector M.C. Mohandas, historian M.G.S. Narayanan, Calicut University Vice-Chancellor M. Abdul Salam, and Tirur Municipal Chairperson K. Safiya were among those who spoke.

I don't believe in New Year's resolutions (why wait until tomorrow when you can do it today?) but I understand the appeal. After all the hustle and bustle of the holidays you need a restart and what good timing with New Years. Anyway, if I did make New Years resolutions one would be to finish all my unfinished projects! Anyone else have piles of crafts or fabric lying around mocking you with their incompleteness? I hate that! This year I vow to be better! Click on the pictures to find more info about these patterns.
I was so excited when I bought this skirt pattern and the fabric for it. The perfect project to test out my new dress maker's shears. But the holidays caught up with me and I'll I've done so far is cut out the fabric pieces. This will hopefully be my first project to tackle.
I've already cut the fabric pieces for this dress (A) out of a super soft baby blue-ish silk. The slippery and stretchy nature of this fabric is what is holding me back from finishing. I'll have to do some very careful pinning and sewing to make sure I don't end up with the dreaded "one side is 2 in longer than the other" situation. Ever had that happen? This is more of a springtime dress so I may make some other more seasonally appropriate projects first.
My first attempt at this shirt was with a way too slippery fabric that was bulkier than I imagined and didn't suit the pattern well. I gave up about halfway through. My second attempt with a lightweight plaid flannel was much better except the shirt bodice ended up way too big. I'm going to have to go back and sew up the sides and add a few more buttons. This size discrepancy was discovered several weeks ago and now I've almost completely lost interest in fixing it. Who knows when I'll get around to it. That's what I get for using the manufacturer's sizing instructions instead of cutting a couple sizes smaller. Anyone ever have that happen?
I've also got a pair of shorts that are about 1/3 finished and have been sitting in a box somewhere since 2008! Simplicity discontinued the pattern or else I'd find a picture. What is the longest you've had a project go unfinished? I hope you are more diligent than I am.

Memory Cloud is the winning design for a lighting installation in the new Memorial Student Center 12th Man Hall. Designed by RE:site (Norman Lee and Shane Allbritton, Artists) and METALAB (Andrew Vrana, Joe Meppelink and Michael Gonzales, Architecture + Fabrication), the project will hang in the atrium to create an animation of students, from the past and present, walking by. The silhouette animations are created from archived footage of time-honored traditions: the Corp of Cadets, the Texas Aggie Marching Band, Kyle Field traditions, and past graduations. Additionally, Memory Cloud can convert a real-time feed of students passing by into a ghost-like version.
The sculpture is made with 4,000 energy efficient and networked LED nodes integrated within transparent tubes of various lengths suspended from a diagrid framework. This creates a vibrant, illuminated pointillist sculpture and a program controls which nodes are turned off and on and what time to display the animation. There are 12 layers or rows of lights and each can be programmed with a different sequence. Viewers can see movement from a variety of angles and see dynamic figures running, biking, or walking by in a parade of university spirit. The dreamy animations are at once vintage as well as modern and the Memory Cloud is where you can remember ghosts of the past and present.
