KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The semi driver charged with slamming into a police cruiser parked along the side of the road pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment, a class E felony, on Monday. The driver, Eric Lewis was sentenced to 1 year supervised probation.
As a result of the plea agreement, the other charges against Lewis, which included Aggravated Assault, reckless driving, and failure to drive in a single lane, were dropped.
Police said Lewis fell asleep while driving a tractor-trailer truck on Interstate 40/75 in Knox County on March 14, 2012.
The truck slammed into Russell's cruiser as he was filling out paperwork. The car was parked on the shoulder and the emergency lights were operating.
An ambulance crew was passing by and Lewis pulled Lowell from the burning car.
Lewis was driving for FHS Trucking in Orlando, Fla.

Bank of New York Mellon Beats as Fee Revenue Grows (Update 1)
- Third-quarter EPS of 61 cents, beating consensus estimate of 54 cents.
- Total revenue of $3.675 billion also beats.
- Investment management fees rise 7% year-over-year
Updated with comments from Jefferies analyst Ken Usdin.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of New York Mellon (BK) on Wednesday reported a 7% year-over-year increase in management fees.
The trust and custody bank announced third-quarter net income applicable to common shareholders of $720 million, or 61 cents a share, soundly beating the consensus estimate of a 54-cent profit, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.Earnings increased from $466 million, or 39 cents a share, during the second quarter (which included a litigation charge of $212 after tax, or 18 cents a share), and $651 million, or 53 cents a share, during the third quarter of 2011. Total revenue for the third quarter was $3.675 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $3.596 billion, and increasing from $3.579 billion the previous quarter, and $3.683 billion, a year earlier. Investment services fees totaled $1.7 billion in the third quarter, down 1% from the second quarter, and down 6% from the third quarter of 2011. The company said "the year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower Depositary Receipts revenue, the impact of the sale of the Shareowner Services business in the fourth quarter of 2011 and lower Corporate Trust fees, partially offset by higher asset servicing and securities lending revenue." A third-quarter highlight for Bank of New York Mellon was $779 million in investment management and performance fee income, increasing 2% sequentially and 7% year-over-year, "driven by higher market values and net new business." Net interest income totaled $749 million during the third quarter, increasing from $734 million the previous quarter, but declining from $775 a year earlier. The net interest margin - the difference between the average yield on loans and investments and the average cost for deposits and borrowings - continued to narrow, to 1.20% in the third quarter, from 1.25% in the second quarter, and 1.30% in the third quarter of 2011. The margin squeeze is in line with most of the industry, with the Federal Reserve keeping its target federal funds rate in a range of zero to 0.25% since the end of 2008, while the central bank in September significantly increased its purchases of long-term mortgage-backed securities, in an effort to keep long-term rates at historically low levels.

New grad rn :( I wanna cry - page 2
I was wondering if anyone will be able to help me... I am a new grad ADN RN in nyc. I am currently enrolled to get my BSN and will be done by Feb 2013. I have yet to find a nursing job, I have been working as a medical... Read More
- 0May 4, '12 by milliemm35Hi, I live in NYC and know exactly what you are going through. I felt like crying after graduation. In school everyone hypes you up for the big day when you get pinned and off you go to start earning top dollars. Noone mentions the fact that most hospital do not need an ADN new grad. Your best bet is to start stalking agencies, LTC centers, small community clinics. Private offices as you correctly mentioned employ MAs. Also try craigslist. I found a lot of available part-time offers. It was nothing but at least it was nursing. All you need is to get a foot in the door. Its great that you are getting your bachelors. The top hospitals in NYC are all MAGNET so your BSN fits nicely and they hire immediately. Don't give up!
- 0May 4, '12 by PrincessRN101Quote from srn789seems like the doctor/boss is taking advantage of you, because he knows the situation your in. and he's using u to manage his office, because you have the qualifications, without the pay.You are lucky you are trying to relocate. We have no place to go besides NYC. Relocation is out of the question. I wish there were private offices hiring here, most, if not all the private offices here (including the office I work in) hire MAs or CNAs that get paid half a nurses salary and do as much as a nurse would do. For me its not only about applying to hospitals, its getting a job anywhere, I just love working with pts so I wouldn't care where I worked, as long as it was a job in the field... I have faxed dozens of resumes to all the nursing homes in the area with no response .... I just wish there would be a light at the end of this dark tunnel... Lindsey.. I am so sorry to hear you got laid off... I am so afraid to lose my job that I literally do anything my boss says, my coworkers and superiors all think he is purposely taking advantage of me because he knows I need some sort of income, which just makes the whole thing worse.......... I hope we all three will have some good news this week....................... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- 8May 4, '12 by elprupTell your story to your congressman/woman. We need to tell everybody about how exceedingly hard it is to find a job as a new grad! Everybody I talk to, send letters/emails to does not believe me. Google "who is my congreeman" and you can start there. I have even written oprah, ellen, all the networks, president, etc. But until everybody does it, they will keep believing there is a nursing shortage. There is not a nursing shortage! Arrrrgggg maybe I should just be a pirate
- 4May 4, '12 by BelleMorteRNMaybe we should start writing newspapers, etc and start exposing schools that continuely accepting students while GN's can't get a job also.
- 2May 4, '12 by RNtobeinSoCalSenator Gillebrand (sp?) of NY is big on nursing issues, so contact her office. Also, I've heard you can work as an LPN/CNA type job in some hospitals that require BSNs. It's illegal in CA & NJ, but maybe NY is different. Even though you have your RN, they'll take you for a lower level job (and pay) until you earn your BSN, then you can roll into that job.
I would also consider Psych facilities, Surgi-Centers, Dialysis Centers, Women's Health Clinics, LTCs etc. FAX them your CV & cover letter and follow up in a few days to make sure they got it.
Get out of the job you're in. Contact your old Office Manager and see what he/she can do for you. Start doing volunteer work in a facility you want to work in - it will get your foot in the door and give you connections that you can use when your BSN is finished (Feb 2013 will be her sooner than you think).
No, there is no nursing shortage, but it isn't any schools fault. Suing them is not the answer - having a NATIONWIDE license is a good start (promotes mobility). Having a nationwide RESIDENCY program (like doctors have) is a good start! So once we get settled, let's vow to make a change, OK?
- 0yup youre right thats exactly what he is doing, and as I mentioned before dont have much of a choice unfortunately ......... So sad to see that someone else is in the same position as me in NYC ... its just tooo hard .... milliem did u find a job ????? elrup - its a good idea ... i just wish there was a better solution ...
- 0I dont think as a RN you can practice as an LPN or CNA in NY .. Im not sure though so I will find out.. And unfortunately the office manager currently still works for him, she is just in a lower position... Its hard for me to think of not being employed even for a week because I have a family and need every dollar ... thats not even including the school loans.. I wanted to volunteer, but due to the crazy schedule I have its almost impossible.. I faxed a few resumes today and I hope something will come out of them.. I am really trying not to let my current situation get me down ... I am trying to look forward no matter how hard it is ...

Jose Mourinho: In England I'm loved by fans and the media
In his post-match press conference, Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho claimed that he is hated by sections of the Spanish football media, in stark contrast to his beloved standing in England. "In England I'm loved," Mourinho told the assembled press – it was unclear how far into his cheek the Special One's tongue was as he said it.
Minutes earlier, after seeing Real Madrid exit the Champions League, Mourinho had told ITV Football's Gabriel Clarke that he might not stay at Real Madrid next season.

Classification - the nine Orders
galleries of trilobite images
is often called the age of the trilobite. Trilobites radiated
repeatedly, expanding in diversity and distribution beginning
with and after the Cambrian
Explosion, but also suffered periodic declines in major extinction
events. Nine
Orders of Arthropod Class Trilobita are recognized. Trilobites
particularly flourished in the oceans of the Cambrian and Ordovician
periods, beginning around 540 million years ago, with a diminishing
number of families persisting until the Permian. The number of
families actually peaked in the Late Cambrian when an extinction
event removed many. The morphological diversity actually peaked
in the Ordovician. Many more families were removed at the end
of the Ordovician 440 million years ago during a great ice age
where ice sheets advanced to the equator. The diminished number
of trilobite families that survived to the Silurian radiated into
new and exotic forms, and still more exotic spiny and pustulose
forms in the Devonian. The Devonian was punctuated by periods
of rising seas that disrupted the reef systems where the trilobites
flourished forcing selective adaptation. The end of the Devonian
saw the Frasnian-Famennian event where only Proteus survived into
the Carboniferous. Despite reduced ancestry, with decent with
modification ruling, these trilobites filled the same ecological
niches such that adaptation led to a repeating of many of the
forms of their extinct cousins. While the genetic path was assuredly
different, the newly evolved forms had recognizable morphological
similitude with those long extinct. Regrettably, trilobites never
truly recovered in the Carboniferous, with but a handful of genera
extant by the Permian. Failing to adapt to deep-water habitats,
their vulnerability to climatic change remained and led to their
disappearance prior to yet another great mass extinction at the
end of the Permian. The age of the trilobite yielded to the age
of the insect.
occupy a special place in the hearts of collectors and professionals
alike. To these cohorts: "trilobites are very pretty".
Riccardo Levi- Setti in his book "Trilobites"
describes them as the butterflies of seas. Richard Fortey's more
recent book "Trilobite! Eyewitness to Evolution"
wonderfully projects this professional paleontologist's love
of trilobites. There are also many wonderful websites that reflect
a labor of love of the webmaster; particularly among these is
Sam Gon's site, "A Guide to the Orders of Trilobites"
that is, at once, artistic and a distilation a huge amount of
science into concise, non-recondite language and illustrations.
I'm sure Sam's site has and will continue to increase the number
of people who consider that trilobites are very pretty. The
of trilobites is due in large part to the magnificent preservation
of their calcified exoskelton that is seen in a myriad of forms,
many very exotic; the many trilobite forms evolved due to natural
selection for features of trilobitearmament
and stealth, in the ageless arms race between predator
and prey.
comprise a complex and huge clade of arthropods with estimates
of number of species ranging from 10 to 15 thousand among the
nine distinct Orders. The extinct trilobite represents a problem
for classification, a problem unlikely to benefit from modern
genomic science. Darwin was confident in his conjecture that trilobites
descended from one Pre-Cambrian crustacean ancestor. But, the
trilobite's position in the universal tree of life remains a mystery
today, with debate remaining whether their closest extant cousins
are, for example, the horseshoe crabs, the spiders or the scorpions.
Classification requires following the tree of life back to points
of branching. This we cannot do for the trilobite whose first
appearance in the fossil record is in the Cambrian. When they
appear, they are already diverse in form, and dispersed in geography,
clearly indicative ofthe incomplete nature of the fossil record.
The highly diverse soft-bodied and jointed-legged animals that
were ostensibly produced in the Cambrian explosion, but must also
have Pre-Cambrian ancestry intensify the mystery. Among the Cambrian
fauna, the crystal eyes of trilobites are unique. In the eyes
is a strong clue, since the fossil record indicates pre-sight
neural tissue existed in forms of worms that also
contain segmented morphology also retained in the trilobite forms.
Mystery is allure for those with a scientific propensity, and
the trilobite does not disappoint. Reading Fortey's book, you
can almost feel the author's sadness that these magnificent animals
that once dominated life on Earth, declined near the end of the
Paleozoic with but a single order surviving to the Carboniferous,
before it too faded away.
scientific bible for Subphylum Trilobita are books within the prodigious Treatise
on Invertebrate Paleontology, Volume O, published and sold by the Geological Society
of America through the University of Kansas (usually just called "the Treatise"
by trilobite aficionados). Trilobites are divided into 9 Orders. The original
treatise, first published in 1959, covered 8 Orders. In a major effort, Trilobita
is under revision. Harpetida has been recently split from the Ptychopariida. The
first volume of the revised Treatise covering two Orders, Agnostida and Redlichiida,
was published in 1997. We await this effort's completion for the final volume
to incorporate the other seven orders.

Google, Facebook, and the Cold War
Ron Callari of Inventor Spot recently wrote, "It's hard to say, looking twenty to thirty years into the future, just how different the digital landscape will look. Semantic Technology, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Web 3.0 are presently only toddling along in their infant stage. What they will look like in the next few decades is only guesswork on our part. However if we were pressed to gamble on the outcome, a smart man's wager might be that the last two digital super powers left standing will be Google and Facebook [with the possible exception of China]. A CNN Money report describes this evolution as analogous to the 'Cold War,' to conjure up imagery of what transpired between America and the Soviet Union, post World War II." Read more

Usually I'm a big fan of pizza express, and have eaten at the St Martin's lane before, but never again after today. First of all our waiter had a huge # of tables to deal with himself, and so the order taking was very slow (not his fault - he performed well under the circumstances). The drinks order then back with the wrong beer, when the lasagne arrived it was still frozen in places and microwave hot in others, and lastly the deserts apparently ran out between the time of order taking and the time of delivering (since it was only 7pm in the evening, how they had planned to get through the whole night was beyond me). Just another unfortunate demonstration of how standards are slipping. Still, we were cheered up by an excellent view of a drunk footie fan outside whose trousers kept falling down before he himself fell over and proceeded to eat discarded McDonalds fries from the pavement.

I normally (lazily) head for pizza express when I'm in a rush and don't want to take the risk of somewhere I don't know, but felt a bit let-down by it for the first time. It was absolutely packed on a Tuesday night, so service was pretty slow (I guess probably understandably). My main gripe though was when I ordered my pizza (the new veggie one - can't remember the name) where artichoke was in the title and listed as the first ingredients. When it arrived however I had 3 smallish pieces on the whole pizza - I just felt a bit cheated by them, especially when the cost was higher than most at £9.50ish from memory. Bit of a let-down compared with other branches I've been to - maybe because it's tourist-land there??

I've eaten here many many times over the years of working and living in the neighborhood, during lunch mainly but also late in the evenings and for take out. Overall I would say they absolutely hold up to the good name of the brand, however there are occasions that the service can be slow especially when paying and certainly when collecting a pizza to take away.
My main problem with this branch is that the waiters and waitresses expect a tip, as obviously there are a lot of tourists visiting, but the service doesn't really provide anything other than expected of a pizzeria. The food is always exceptional, as expected.
Definitely recommend, a bad experience is few and far between.

I turned up at 12.30pm with 5 others and we were placed in the table next to the only other diners. It takes 15 minutes before anyone takes orders, even though most staff are standing around doing nothing, leaving our waitress to rush around to get everything by herself including the drinks. One pizza turns up 10 minutes after all the others with a burnt base, others have uncooked bases. We leave without having pudding as it would clearly involve being there for the rest of our lives.
This was the worst Pizza Express experience of my life. An appallingly badly managed branch that lets the whole of the rest of the chain down.

The Port of Le Havre plans to go forward on its planned infrastructure expansion after a public debate that aired environmental concerns about the project.
The Le Havre Port Authority said Friday it will take into account the contributions made during the public debate as well as those made during the meetings and consultations that followed it.
"The working meetings and consultations held since the end of the public debate have helped the Supervisory Board take the best decision and continue the studies," said Jean-Pierre Guellec, the port's project manager.
The port authority said it selected two main options for the development of the alluvial plain that would preserve wetlands or create a nature reserve.
It said more environmental studies must be undertaken to include the nature reserve and choose the best option by the end of next year.

"Zombies don't represent anything in my mind except a global change of some kind. And the stories are about how people respond or fail to respond to this. That's really all they've represented to me."Within the past couple days or hours, something very strange has happened. Maybe the Synthetic Plague the government was working on got unleashed. Maybe a voodoo priest's spell went awry. Maybe an alien space probe broadcast a weird signal at the Earth, or fell to Earth and brought radiation with it. Maybe there's just no more room in Hell. Whatever the cause, the result is the same; the recently dead have risen, en masse, to feed on the living. With each victim they claim, their numbers swell, and no force on Earth can contain them. As society collapses, it's up to the Big Damn Heroes to fight their way to safety or keep shooting until things blow over. The Zombie Apocalypse has arrived. While Horror is assumed to be an inherent part of the zombie apocalypse, not all the horror and conflict comes from the zombies themselves. Instead it can come from the reaction of the living humans involved, and how they respond to the state of fear and violent chaos brought about by the zombies. Often, the answer is "not well". The breakdown of society, the fear that your Fire-Forged Friends could be infected and turned against you without warning, are at least as important to a zombie story as the zombies themselves, if not more so. Common to virtually all Zombie Apocalypse tales is that, regardless of the reason zombies attack living/non-infected people, they never attack other zombies. Whether they'll attack animals other than humans varies, but it's rare for The Virus to affect other species, probably because it's cheaper and easier to film humans in make-up than to work with animals, whether trained, animatronic, or CGI. Due to the threat that zombies pose (they did just become the apocalypse, after all), protagonists of more serious works are required to become very genre savvy very quickly (but will demonstrate genre blindness with regard to the word "zombie" itself). Failure is often the only option in these stories; rarely do they have an ending that could be considered "happy" by typical standards, or indeed one where humanity survives as a species. Another main staple is that things will always, always go From Bad to Worse. Either from the character's actions or circumstance which are out of their hands, no matter how improbable it is. The Militaries Are Useless trope is a must in such a movie to avoid the film ending in five minutes. If they ARE actually competent, they'll just also happen to be evil. The collapse will also take place very quickly, over a period of weeks or months, instead of years. This prevents society and/or the main characters from adapting, and also makes Convenient Comas somewhat plausible. In the occasion where collapse occurs in a couple of months, a nuclear submarine or aircraft carrier could realistically be expected to weather the entire outbreak start to finish in perfect isolation and safety. This will never be brought up. Characters will also assume that their portable radios have infinite reception and frequency range, and local dead air means a completely global collapse. The audience may not need to speculate about this, if a Spreading Disaster Map Graphic crops up in the opening credits. Another common staple of the Zombie Apocalypse is that the zombies are often not the most dangerous enemy that a survivor will face. It's usually other survivors, power-hungry maniacs or regular-hungry people who want to attack you to get at your food and shelter. Expect an aesop about how Humans Are the Real Monsters to be thrown about (after all, a zombie is just a degraded human!) Subtrope of Our Zombies Are Different. A member of The Undead trope family. See Night of the Living Mooks for cases where zombies don't threaten the end of the world. See also Zombie Gait, Everything's Deader with Zombies. Raising the Steaks is what happens when humans are not the only creatures that can be infected by The Virus. The zombie apocalypse is almost always a case of Guilt-Free Extermination War requiring that everybody be armed. Expect a healthy dose of Infant Immortality - for despite a population of millions of children at any given time in any human population very few will become (visible) zombies - and when they do show up it will just be one child zombie, for audience effect. Also expect the Incongruously Dressed Zombie to turn up for occasional comic relief. The trope Zombie Apocalypse refers to any kind of undead apocalypse the common traits of this trope are that the undead spread rapidly, wipe out humans primarily by eating or biting them, and are usually highly infectious - even if the undead happen to resemble vampires or yet another kind of monster more than zombies. If you are looking for different types of Zombie, see Our Zombies Are Different. Not to be confused with Vampire Apocalypse: The Series by Derek Gunn. A Zombie Apocalypse can be considered a sort of Came Back Wrong on a very large scale. Also known as a "Zombocalypse".

It's sad to see good people fight over the past.
Anyway hitting on the rest of the culprits doesn't really absolve those responsible within the BundesRepublik.
However...where do we draw the line morally, historically, socially. If we were to hold a grudge againt the current German State and its subjects then wouldn't that offset our own claims on Individual responsibility, reformation, evolution?
I understand JustBrowsing but the issues are far more complex and include intent, necessity and contingecy on the behalf of the then German Bundes Republik. However it excludes that old historical scrutiny...the Cold War being there.
Bottom line is: the World does not revolve around Poland.
Neither did this thread until Mr. Potatohead here showed up
Ah, denying that a Pole is a human, a traditional characteristic of certain German thinkers.Neither did this thread until Mr. Potatohead here showed up
After 6 million of its citizens were mass murdered, destruction of huge amount of cultural sites, documents, books, works of art, and industrial damage that totals 640 billion dollars. Not to mention those areas were main battlefields in WW2 and had to be reconstructed, a process that even today isn't finished. In addition those territories were compensation for territories lost by Poland not for war damages.Poland got valuable industrial areas in Silesia and good ports in Pommerania and east Prussia and is in a much better strategic position than pre war Poland.
Nope. Germany never paid compensation to Poland.So they were compensated better than any other nation after WW2, which is just as they also suffered most
It's an old news, but the issue remains open.The lower house of the Polish parliament voted unanimously on Friday to seek compensation from Germany for damages suffered during World War II. The resolution passed with a vote of 328-0, with one abstention.
Should Germany be forced to pay reparations, the cost could exceed €525 billion ($640 billion), according to the latest estimates.
Most Polish industry was dismantled or destroyed by Germany during the occupation, not by USSR.Of course the industry was largely dismantled by the USSR
Poland today is in worse economic situation compared to Western Europe than it was before the war(comparing it in 1939 to western Europe in 1939). Economically and demographically Poland never recovered from German extermination attempt and losses inflicted by Germans.but still the basic requirements were there and the Poles made something out of it as we see today.
Hey Mr. Patatohead, stop trolling and spewing your Poland #1!!11 **** here.
The stuff you quoted was there for about 30 seconds until I edited it.
You monitor this thread in real time? Your F5 key must be pretty worn out
Get a life man! I don't know where you are in Poland but from my experiences (Lodz, Warsaw) you can do a lot of better things on a Saturday in a polish city than flame wars with germans
Good Lord, a Pole who plays the victome role. Who would have thought?
Note: No one cares for guys who take the morale high ground from the losers positions. Its like the guy who gets no *****, the one who gets bullied all the time in school and cries about the bad bad world and how much better he is than anybody else not realizing that he is the real loser in life.
If I were a Pole I would be ashamed of you. Fortunately, most younger Poles think way better of themselves, looking at Germany with a kind of confidence and respect who try to live an ordinary life for their own future.
You Sir, are the real historic loser. You Sir, have no future in Poland or anywhere else beside internet forums trolling threads.
What's going on here?
Too bad StormzSTA is banned, he would make good comment.

Seminar vs Workshop
Seminars and workshops have become a part of our lives as we see an advertisement of a workshop or a seminar every other day in newspapers and on websites. These are certificate oriented courses that are conducted to impart latest knowledge to participants in professions that are dependent on practical skills. But many remain confused by the differences between a seminar and workshop as they cannot decide on one or the other. Both seminars and workshops are equally valuable for anyone involved in a skill based professions as they tend to impart latest knowledge and emerging trends. However, there are basic differences in the style and methodology of these two types of courses and this article intends to differentiate between the two to enable readers to go for one or the other depending upon his requirements.
There are lots of professions where people feel that they need to upgrade their skills as with passage of time, newer methods and techniques come into play and people need to learn and master them to attract more clients. Thus people look to attend short term training courses such as seminars and workshops to enhance their skills and to learn new techniques rather than attending full time courses that are costly and also require investment of time which is not possible for working people.
A seminar is typically lecture oriented and though it delivers same content to the audience as a workshop does, the involvement and interaction with the audience is limited or at least less than a workshop. A seminar is better suited when the number of participants is more than a hundred. This does not mean that one cannot have an engrossing session in a seminar and it all boils down to the skills of a teacher imparting knowledge to the participants to make sessions more interesting and lively. Seminars are mostly held at places where there is a classroom environment and audio visual aids make up an integral part of the presentation in a seminar.
In a workshop, on the other hand, participants play a more active role and there are times when personalized help and assistance is forthcoming from the teacher. Individual attention on participants is possible because typically in a workshop, the number of participants is kept low purposely. Lecture play a lesser role in a workshop and more attention is given to impart the knowledge through practical mode. Workshops are held mostly at places that are open and more spacious than what are required for seminars. This is necessary to let the participants have a clear view of the technique that is being demonstrated by the teacher.
In brief:
Seminar vs workshop
• Seminars and workshops are short term training courses designed to help working people enhance their skills.
• Seminars are lecture oriented and better suited when the number of participants is large. Personalized attention is not possible in seminars though teachers can make sessions lively with their skills
• Workshops are more in the manner of demonstration of techniques by the instructor and have lesser number of participants.

Does incest really happen in rural areas or the south that much?
Having come from a small farm town (in Nebraska by the way) I only heard one case of (almost) where a brother and sister in my school were drunk and got naked, but fortunately the brother walked away. Anyways does incest really happen that much in rural areas or the south. I always hear jokes about West Virginia or Arkansas or even Kansas. What do you think?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
you really wouldn't know about it because incest is very taboo and no one would talk about it. I am from georgia by the way. I was in math class with this boy who said that his parents are 2nd cousins.i think it would be more likely to happen in very small isolated rural areas because overtime if people don't leave town and they all stay in one area, most people would happen to be related in some way, so they would get together that way.my dad's ex girlfriend told me a story in her family...she has 9 brothers and sisters that lived in her household, but her dad traveled a lot and cheated so she had several other half brothers and sisters. well one of her nieces met this guy and they hit it off and fell in love. when they were going to announce their engagement they ended up finding out that they were related. :(
What Girls Said 4
Certain religions and cultures might be more likely to arrange marriages between family members, but I don't think incest between immediate family members (like brother and sister) happens much anywhere. In general people don't tend to be attracted to their siblings. I don't think that certain areas have more incidents of sibling incest- I'm pretty sure it's a rare thing all round.
I have never heard of a single instance of any religion condoning or arranging marriage between family members.
Not immediate family members, but cousins and the like.
No? Astonishing! Can you tell me who were the mother(s) of the children of Cain and Abel?

Prime Minister's Official Residence
The building of Kesäranta was completed in 1873 and the villa was originally given the name Bjälbo. Kesäranta is situated in Meilahti, which at that time lay outside the city of Helsinki.
At first, Kesäranta was the summer villa of architect Frans Ludvig Calonius who had designed the building. Kesäranta was purchased by the State in 1904 to serve as the summer residence for Russian Governor Generals. Over the past years, Kesäranta has become known as the Prime Minister's Official Residence.
Villa for Governor Generals
Initially Kesäranta was a two-storey wooden building with a square floor plan. In 1887, the villa was acquired by Carl Robert Ignatius, a cashier at the Bank of Finland, who had master builder Elia Heikel design among other things a 20-metre tower and seaside veranda which were added to the building.
At that time, Nikolai Bobrikov served as Russian Governor General in Finland and his harsh policy of Russification was met with broad resistance by the Finnish people. The Senate Finance Department, predecessor of the Government, conducted the actual sale to the State in secrecy. No mention of it appears in meeting minutes of the time.
Architect Johan Jacob Ahrenberg was commissioned to make the necessary changes to the building and its furnishings. A new kitchen wing was attached to the main building and a glazed veranda was built on to the side of the building facing the sea.
It is unlikely that Bobrikov lived in Kesäranta before his assassination but the succeeding Governor Generals, Obolenski, Gerard, Boeckmann and Seyn, did take up residence in the house. After the Finnish Civil War in 1918, both the German Commander von der Goltz and, a little bit later, General Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim lived there briefly.
Prime Minister's Official Residence
Since Finland gained independence, Kesäranta has served as the Prime Minister's Official Residence.
In the summertime, the Finnish Government holds its informal evening sessions, better known as evening school, at Kesäranta. These take place on Wednesday evenings and date back to the latter part of the 1930s, when Prime Minister Cajander adopted the practice of inviting ministers to Kesäranta to discuss and prepare matters to be handled in the Government plenary session on Thursday.
A thorough renovation of the main building took place in the 1950s and again between 1981 and 1983. At the same time, a town plan protecting old buildings was applied to the area.
As to the appearance of the villa itself, the main building was restored to look as it did at the beginning of the century. This necessitated rebuilding the tower and veranda, which had been pulled down in the 1950s.
The renovation work that took place between 2003 and 2004 focused on refurbishing the interior and improving the functionality of the building. The ceilings of the basement rooms were raised and the press room was extended and changed to be adaptable for various functions. The former accommodation rooms on the first floor were altered to better meet the demands of private living. At the same time, the wear to the building brought about by continuous use and harsh weather conditions was repaired.
The courtyard of Kesäranta includes a seaside sauna, maintenance building, guard's house, pavilion, jetty and tennis court.

Baby high chairs make meal times a breeze
High chairs are the place where all of your baby's meals are going to take place. You can find plenty of styles from a standard wooden high chair to convenient collapsible models that you can move out of the way after dinner. Just like the washable covers of baby's car seat, you can find all kinds of easy to clean options so you can handle those inevitable mealtime messes without extra hassle.
Booster seats are built with your toddler in mind. They're made to help them sit up high enough to eat from your dinner table. They come in fun designs and many are even branded with their favorite movie characters. Other boosters come with snack trays that can be attached, and the option to attach it to a chair and use it as a makeshift high chair. Just like you keep baby's toys tidy with pacifier wipes, you'll want some safe anti-septic wipes on hand to clean up your baby's booster chair.
A collapsible high chair will easily fold up for transportation when you're headed out on a family trip. You will be able to store it out of the way after the meal is done when you're visiting family or friends. Whether you're on the road or in your own family kitchen, Kmart has the best high chairs to make meal times a breeze.
