Beautiful looking, and so practical!
Alison from New York, NY– Verified Buyer
I was so happy when I received this barrel top chest. It is actually a nice piece of furniture, and has so many uses! I'm using it now for my kids' toys in our family room, and we can really stuff in a lot. Our playroom was always difficult to keep tidy, but now all those loose toys have a place to go, and Mom is much happier! It is sturdy, and I feel it will last for a long time. In fact, I'm planning on using it for other things once the kids are no longer into playing with toys. I feel this chest will be great for storage of linens, books, albums, etc. So I'm looking forward to using this chest for years to come! Love this purchase!
Looks good but not great
Kyle from Salem, OR– Verified Buyer
I bought this as a toy chest with the idea that once we outgrow the need for a toy chest, we can use it to store blankets, etc. It does look nice but the exposed screws everywhere does take away from the appearance. There was one screw the was shipped to us with it still sticking out and the head stripped. The quality department must really be lacking! Also, the bottom isn't real wood which concerns me that it may pull out if something heavy is placed inside (the bottom is raised from the floor by about 1/2 inch with two thin wood pieces for support). While I do like the safety support mechanism (closes the chest slowly when closing it and keeps it open when you want it open) it doesn't want to remain shut all the way so the lid is always about 1 inchannels open.
Perfect Chest
Michele from Baltimore, MD– Verified Buyer
I ordered this chest to store items in our spare bedroom to help keep it clutter free. It is perfect for my needs, was easy to assemble and is as described. The only potential downfall is that the bottom is not solid wood, but since I'm not using it as a toy chest and it will remain stationary, it isn't an issue for me. It has a soft close top to prevent little hands from begin hurt which is a definite plus!
Nice, Sturdy Toy Box
Keri from West Warwick, RI– Verified Buyer
Love this piece. The espresso finish is beautiful and the barrel top design is a perfect compliment to my baby's monkey pirate themed nursery. However is subtle enough that he will be able to continue to use it as he grows. The safety hinges protect little fingers from getting slammed in the lid as it closes. It seems to be sturdy and of a good quality. It looks more expensive than it was. :)
Decent toy chest
Toni from Conway, AR– Verified Buyer
I never write reviews, but I have relied on a lot of reviews lately for my purchases, so I figured I should give my opinion for others to make their decision also.
Toy Chest
Dawn from Sicklerville, NJ– Verified Buyer
Ordered this Toy Chest for my Grandson's first birthday. Fits all his toys, at least for now, and the lid closes with ease. Lid does not slam down and there is no worry about pinching little fingers! My daughter put the chest together and stated it took some time to complete but it was not a difficult task.
Good purchase overall
Marina from Damascus, OR– Verified Buyer
My husband set up the toy chest, said it was uneven on some parts and that it doesn't close all the way on the lid. But I like that it's slightly open so that it doesn't smash down on the kids' fingers.
Nice chest, love the no-slam lid
Shannon from Covington, KY– Verified Buyer
Pros: Sturdy chest, except for the bottom. The lid has a piece on the inside that holds it wherever you close the lid to, so it won't close on little fingers.
Pam from Colorado– Verified Buyer
The perfect purchase for my sixteen month old granddaughter. I read a review where they complained the lid didn't shut all the way. And they're right, there's about a 14 inch gap. However, I don't think you'd want it to close all the way. This makes it much safer and easier for little fingers to handle without the worry of them getting hurt. My little granddaughter and lift it and shut it all by herself without grandma being worried about her tiny fingers. Great quality and it's beautiful. Just about the cutest thing ever.
Fair Price
Jacquelyn from Tolland, CT– Verified Buyer
We have had this toy chest for about a month now and it is holding up well. It was fairly easy to put together, wish the bottom was a little thicker, but it seems to be holding up fine. The toy chest holds lots of toys and is very roomy. The overall appearance is nice as I have it in my main living room and it fits much better than a plastic one would. It took a few days for the lid to sit properly as the spring that helps it from slamming shut was very tight, but it closes nicely now. Certainly a good buy for the price!
OUR SKU # BP1041Barrel Top Toy Chest is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 01330, 01335, 01340, 01345

Kalamazoo Hybrid Fire Grills burn charcoal for the purest outdoor cooking experience
The Hybrid Fire Grilling Drawer burns charcoal above the gas burners
The most beautiful charcoal grill for your outdoor kitchen
Outdoor Charcoal Grills: Find the Best Charcoal Grill for Your Outdoor Kitchen
There is no substitute for a charcoal grill when it comes to outdoor cooking. A Kalamazoo grill delivers the authentic flavor and cooking experience of a real charcoal fire, plus it offers the convenience of starting that fire quickly and cleanly with gas. Kalamazoo hybrid grills are charcoal grills unlike any other — offering the ultimate in outdoor cooking flexibility.
How does a Kalamazoo grill with charcoal?
- The charcoal grill drawer is located directly above a series of powerful cast brass burners.
- Load the charcoal grill drawer with lump charcoal or natural briquettes, and then fire up the burners underneath. Once the charcoal fire has started, you can turn the burners off and cook using any charcoal grilling technique.
- The pure flavor and dry heat of the charcoal fire create the authentic charcoal grill experience.
- The ash from the charcoal fire drops through the openings in the charcoal grill drawer, past the burners, and down the hopper into a deep and convenient cleanout bin large enough to handle multiple grilling sessions.
- The burners are engineered to shed ash and feature a protective ledge above all the burner ports. Burners are warranted for life.
What else can a Kalamazoo grill do?
- In addition to being a charcoal grill, a Kalamazoo Hybrid Fire Grill is the ultimate gas grill. It is much more than a charcoal grill with a gas starter.
- For cooking with gas, simply leave the charcoal grill drawer empty and fire up the burners.
- A Kalamazoo grill can also cook with wood. Use the three fuels interchangeably or at the same time.
Does it really work?
- Yes. A Kalamazoo charcoal grill features a similar deep firebox design to those found on the best charcoal grills. Heat dynamics are ideal for direct, indirect and combination cooking techniques.
- The hood features a vent that can be opened and closed to raise and lower the temperature of a charcoal fire and to keep in smoke for barbecue.
- If you want the authentic flavor of a charcoal grill and appreciate the convenience of a gas grill, the Kalamazoo is the ultimate outdoor grill.

Dunes closed to sledding, snowboarding
With several snow storms under our belts and more to come, DNREC's Division of Parks and Recreation is asking the public to help protect the dunes in Delaware's ocean parks by reminding residents and visitors that dunes shouldn't be used for sledding or snowboarding.
Dunes contain fragile habitat and provide protection for the beaches and the communities that border them. Recent storms have already caused some damage this winter.
Except for marked crossings, dunes are closed year-round to pedestrian traffic and activities in Cape Henlopen and Delaware Seashore state parks

403.6 - Blanket Purchase Agreements
OPR: Admin/Procurement and Contracts
1. Purpose. This chapter contains policy and procedures for establishment, utilization and administration of Blanket Purchase Agreements.
2. Authority.
A. FAR Subpart 13.2, Blanket Purchase Agreements.
B. DIAR Subpart 1413.2, Blanket Purchase Agreements.
3. Definition. A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a method of acquiring a variety of items within a broad category of goods without issuing individual purchase documents. A BPA is an agreement between the Government and a vendor that allows individuals authorized to use the BPA to place orders by telephone or in person with simplified documentation. A BPA does not obligate the Government to place any orders, nor does it obligate the vendor to accept any orders. Once an order against a BPA is given by the Government and accepted by the vendor, an enforceable contract is created. A BPA benefits both the Government and the vendor by minimizing the administrative time and cost of purchasing and payment.
4. Policy.
A. BPA Versus Other Acquisition Methods. When evaluating the various purchasing methods, a BPA should be selected if it is determined the most administratively efficient in terms of cost of processing, invoice handling, and necessary procurement safeguards.
B. BPA Vendors. It is the policy of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to establish BPA's with qualified commercial vendors, other Federal agencies or Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contractors (if permissible under the terms of the FSS contract). Whenever possible, a small business should be utilized for BPA needs. A BPA with a commercial vendor other than a small business may be established only after the Contracting Officer (CO) determines that a small business source for the item(s)/ service(s) to be ordered is not reasonably available. This determination must be in writing and included in the BPA file. If numerous purchases are expected, BPA's for items of the same type should be established with more than one vendor.
C. Separation of Duties. Completing a BPA transaction requires three steps: (1) initiating the requirement, (2) placing the BPA call, and (3) certifying receipt of goods/services satisfying the requirement. To avoid potential abuses, these three steps must be divided between at least 2 individuals.
D. Qualifying Conditions. A BPA should be established when one or more of the following conditions exist:
(1) A requirement for a variety of items in a broad class of goods, e.g., books, or electrical or plumbing supplies, for which the exact items, quantities, and delivery requirements are not known in advance and may vary considerably.
(2) A requirement to provide commercial sources of supply to one or more offices or projects in a given area that do not otherwise need authority to purchase.
(3) A non-BPA vendor has received a minimum of 15 purchase orders in the preceding fiscal year and is expected to continue to receive orders at that rate.
(4) A supplier agrees to accept orders by telephone, in person, or by letter in place of official purchase orders.
E. Exclusions. A BPA cannot be used for the following:
(1) To replace mandatory sources of supply or planned supply and material needs.
(2) Procurement of controlled property.
(3) Acquisition of items exceeding the small purchase limitation. Requirements will not be divided to avoid the small purchase limitation or an authorized caller's monetary limitation per call. (See 403.6.6B(2)(c) below.)
(4) Acquisition of services exceeding $2,500.
(5) Purchase of the following items (except by a warranted CO):
(a) Office equipment and furniture.
(b) Office supplies and desk items.
(c) Protective clothing or equipment requiring a signed certification. (See SM 403.30.)
(d) Supplies or services available through UNICOR (Federal Prison Industries) or Workshops for the Blind and other Severely Handicapped Persons.
(e) Items available through FEDSTRIP, General Services Administration (GSA) Customer Supply Centers, or GSA and Department of the Interior Credit Card Stores.
(f) Items carried in USGS stock rooms.
(g) Non-controlled field equipment. (See SM 408.10.)
(h) Automated Data Processing (ADP) products, including:
(i) ADP services such as programming or professional/consultant, excluding maintenance services.
(ii) ADP and telecommunications equipment requiring prior Information Systems Division (ISD) approval.
(iii) ADP software (initial purchase) and software upgrades exceeding $500.
(i) Any other items that require special approval or certification.
5. Responsibilities.
A. Administrative Officers (AO's) are responsible for:
(1) Administering the list of authorized BPA callers for their respective division according to the procedures set forth in this chapter.
(2) Coordinating reviews of division office BPA usage according to the procedures set forth in this chapter.
B. Small Purchases Chiefs are responsible for:
(1) Establishing, utilizing and administering BPA's at their respective headquarters or regional procurement office according to the procedures set forth in this chapter.
(2) Conducting annual reviews of division office BPA usage according to the procedures set forth in this chapter.
C. Warranted CO's located at field offices are responsible for:
(1) Establishing, utilizing and administering BPA's at their respective field office according to the procedures set forth in this chapter.
(2) Conducting annual reviews of field office BPA usage according to the procedures set forth in this chapter.
D. Authorized callers are responsible for utilizing BPA's according to the procedures set forth in this chapter.
6. Procedures.
A. Prerequisites. Before establishing a BPA, the warranted CO shall insure that the following agreements between the vendor and the USGS are reached:
(1) That purchasers/vendor agree to place/ accept orders against the BPA by telephone, in person, and/or by letter.
(2) That vendor/purchasers agree to generate/accept invoices prepared according to the instructions entered in the BPA. (Vendor Invoicing Methods are provided in Figure 2.) Advise vendors that improper or incomplete invoices will be returned unpaid.
(3) That the vendor will create a "sales slip" (i.e., receipt or delivery ticket) at the time of delivery.
B. Preparing a BPA. Figure 1 illustrates a BPA, Forms 9-1134 and 9-1134-B, showing required information and leaving blanks where specifics are to be inserted. Verbatim use of pages 2-4 of Figure 1 is not required; however, the information provided there and in 403.6.6B(2) through (4) below must be included in each BPA. The BPA number and vendor name must appear at the top of each page of the BPA. Prepare BPA's as follows:
(1) The first page of a BPA is Form 9-1134, Order for Supplies or Services, marked with text common to all BPA's. Follow these additional instructions when preparing the Form 9-1134:
(a) Insert information unique to the BPA such as issuing office, BPA number, vendor name and address, shipping address, discount terms, underlined items in the body of the form, and the name of the CO establishing the BPA. In the "CONTRACT NO." block at the top of the form, enter the type of BPA; i.e., "Open Market", "Intragovernmental", or the Federal Supply Schedule contract number. (See paragraph 403.6.4B, above.)
(b) Leave blank the columns entitled, "ITEM NO.", "QUANTITY ORDERED", "UNIT", "UNIT PRICE", and "AMOUNT" on the Form 9-1134.
(c) Warrant Level Required to Sign a BPA. The CO signing the Form 9-1134 must have procurement authority equal to at least the total of expenditures anticipated on the BPA in any fiscal year.
(d) Invoicing Instructions. Mark out the instructions entered after "SEND INVOICE TO:" on the lower left corner of the Form 9-1134, and insert "Consignee" (as shown in Fig. 1). Instructions for submitting invoices are included on page 3 of the BPA.
(2) Page 2 of the sample BPA (Fig. 1, Form 9-1134-B, Order for Supplies or Services (Continuation Sheet)) includes standard notifications to the vendor. Fill in blanks for BPA-unique information such as the vendor name and BPA number (top), the maximum order limit, and the table showing the names and order limits of individuals authorized to place calls under the BPA (further instructions provided below). If the list of authorized callers is lengthy, it may be incorporated by inserting a reference in page 2 where the list would normally appear.
(a) Setting the Maximum Order Limit. The maximum order limit is the greatest dollar value permitted for each order to be placed under the BPA. The maximum order limit should be equal to the highest ordering limit from the authorized caller list. (See paragraph 403.6.6B(2)(c) below.) The maximum order limit cannot exceed the small purchase limitation.
(b) Selecting BPA Callers. Choose only individuals who (1) have a bona fide need to use the BPA; and (2) will exercise their authority to place orders properly. The list of BPA callers is subject to periodic review and update. (See paragraphs 403.6.6G(1) and (2) below.)
(c) Selecting Caller Ordering Limits. BPA caller limits are established by SM 205.4.3E, Delegations of Procurement Authority, as amended by USGS Instructional Memorandum OPC-91-001 dated May 31, 1991. Caller limits are dependent upon whether the authorized caller holds a CO's warrant:
(i) Authorized callers who do not hold a CO's warrant may place individual calls of up to $2,500.
(ii) Authorized callers who are warranted CO's may place calls of up to the limit of their procurement authority or the small purchase limitation, whichever is lower.
(3) Page 3 (Fig. 1) contains standard instructions to the vendor and a space where the billing method is to be inserted. Billing methods are addressed in Figure 2. Include the following to insure correct preparation of invoices by the vendor:
(a) The correct USGS billing address, which should be the address of the USGS office placing orders against the BPA; usually the SHIP TO/Consignee address on the Form 9-1134 (Fig. 1).
(b) A requirement that the vendor submit an original invoice and one copy to the billing address referenced above, not to the Office of Financial Management (OFM) (Fig. 1).
(c) The text from Figure 2 for the invoicing method selected.
(4) Page 4 (Fig. 1) includes FAR provisions common to all BPA's and required certifications to be completed by the vendor.
C. Executing the BPA. The BPA will become effective once the following steps are completed:
(1) Distribution and Signature. Send two copies of the BPA to the vendor for certification and signature. The vendor must return both copies to the CO. The CO then signs both copies of the Form 9-1134, enters the date signed in the "Date" block and in the "DATE OF ORDER" block (top), returns one copy of the BPA to the vendor and retains the other in the BPA file.
(2) Prepare the BPA File. The file for each BPA will include a justification of non-availability of a small business (if applicable; see paragraph 403.6.4B above), a copy of the BPA and a BPA Log (see paragraph 403.6.6E(1) below and Figure 3, Form 9-3035, BPA Log) of orders placed against that BPA only. Copies of invoices, competition worksheets and requisitions, if used, will also be placed in the BPA file as orders accumulate. (See paragraph 403.6.6E(2) below.)
D. Placing Orders.
(1) Who May Place Orders. Only those individuals included in a BPA's list of authorized callers may place orders through that BPA. A BPA call cannot be placed by an authorized caller who (1) initiated the requirement, and (2) will certify receipt of the goods/services fulfilling that requirement. (See paragraph 403.6.4C above.) Anyone not included on the list of authorized callers may not place orders until they are added to the list using the procedures in paragraph 403.6.6G(2) below.
(2) Order Limits. Authorized callers may place individual orders up to their limit of authority stated in the BPA. (See paragraph 403.6.6B(2)(c) above.)
(3) Information Exchange Between Caller and Vendor. To insure that delivery, billing and payment is proper and timely, authorized callers must provide vendors complete ordering and delivery information. Authorized callers and vendors shall identify and include on invoices any discounts that are available.
E. Documenting Orders.
(1) Logging BPA Calls. Authorized callers must keep a written record of each call placed against a BPA by completing all items in that BPA's Log (Figure 3). Authorized callers should assign the next call number in sequence, and record a detailed description of items ordered on the BPA log. A serial, stock or part number alone is not a sufficient item description. If additional space is required, the description may be continued in the blank description blocks below.
(2) Documenting Competition. Orders exceeding $2,500 require a written record of competitive quotes solicited or, if unavailable, a record of unsuccessful efforts to locate competitive quotes. USGS Form 9-3009, Small Purchase Competition Worksheet, or another approved competition worksheet must be used for this purpose. Attach the Form 9-3009 or competition worksheet to the BPA log in the BPA file.
F. Processing Invoices. Vendors will submit invoices to the consignee, as stated in the BPA. The Prompt Payment Act requires consignees to insure that invoices (1) are proper; i.e, prepared in accordance with the BPA invoicing instructions, (2) are properly certified, and (3) arrive at the payment office (OFM) within 5 days of receipt. For this reason, consignees must complete the following steps in the most expeditious manner possible upon receipt of an invoice:
(1) Determine Acceptability. Immediately upon receipt, insure the invoice is prepared according to the invoicing instructions stated in the BPA. If the invoice is improper or incomplete, return it to the vendor with a brief note explaining the reasons for return.
(2) Record Date of Receipt on the Invoice. The receipt date may be handwritten or stamped. The Prompt Payment Act requires that vendor invoices be paid within 30 days of receipt. If the receipt date is missing, the Prompt Payment Act assigns the date the vendor issued the invoice as the beginning of the 30-day payment "window". If payment has not been made by the 30th day, late payment interest penalties are added to the invoice amount. Late payment interest is deducted from program funds, thereby reducing the amount available for future purchases.
(3) Affix the Certification. Apply the following certification to the original only:
(Form 9-803, Accrued Expenditure Report)
(4) Complete the Certification. All items in the certification must be completed and signed in original; otherwise the invoice cannot be accepted for payment by OFM. Figure 4 provides an example of a properly certified invoice. Avoid these common mistakes when certifying an invoice:
(a) Improper Signatory. To avoid potential abuses, an individual who initiated the requirement and placed the BPA call cannot certify the invoice for goods/services received from that call. (See paragraph 403.6.4C above.)
(b) Unauthorized Purchases. Do not certify invoices for improper purchases. Invoices received by OFM for items not authorized for purchase using BPA's will be returned to the submitting office. Such transactions must be processed according to agency procedures for ratification of unauthorized purchases.
(c) Duplicate Certifications/Invoices. Do not certify any document submitted by the vendor other than an original invoice. When an invoice is received, check it against invoice distribution dates in the BPA log to insure the invoice just received is not a duplicate. Also, check your most recent Report 268, Monthly Status of Funds, and the Federal Financial System (FFS) to ascertain if the invoice was previously received and/or paid by OFM. If the BPA called for submission of summary or itemized invoices (field offices only), do not submit individual invoices or delivery tickets to OFM for payment.
(5) Distribute the Invoice.
(a) After steps 403.6.6F(1) through (4) above have been completed, use whatever delivery mode is appropriate to insure the invoice reaches OFM by the 5th day after receipt. According to the Prompt Payment Act, invoices received by OFM that are not original, proper, and properly certified cannot be accepted for payment.
(b) File one copy of each invoice with the BPA log sheet containing the corresponding order.
(c) Enter the date each invoice was distributed in the appropriate block on the BPA log.
G. Administration of BPA's. Once a BPA has been established, follow steps 403.6.6G(1) through (6) below to insure proper usage and maintenance of the BPA.
(1) Review of Authorized BPA Caller Lists. Updated BPA caller lists are to be issued upon completion of the following reviews, or upon request:
(a) Reston, Virginia; Denver, Colorado; and Menlo Park, California: Updates will be issued semiannually. Each division AO located in Reston, Denver, and Menlo Park shall submit a list of BPA callers to its respective Administrative Division procurement office by November 5 and May 5 of each year. Both the AO and the cognizant procurement office should insure that BPA caller lists do not include individuals who have abused their calling authority. After approving the lists, the procurement offices will provide copies to BPA vendors.
(b) Field Offices: Updates will be issued as required. CO's located at field offices may update caller lists as changes occur or when a significant number of changes has accumulated. CO's should insure that BPA caller lists do not include individuals who have abused their calling authority. After approving the lists, CO's will provide copies to BPA vendors.
(2) Adding/Deleting BPA Callers. Interim changes to the list of authorized callers will become necessary due to employee turnover, abuse of BPA ordering authority, or other events. BPA callers may be added or deleted as follows:
(a) Reston, Denver and Menlo Park: Division AO's at these locations shall request additions or deletions to BPA caller lists by memorandum to their respective Administrative Division procurement office as they occur. The procurement office shall amend BPA caller lists as requested. Upon request, procurement offices will advise vendors of callers added or deleted since the last BPA caller list update.
(b) Field Offices: CO's located at field offices will add/delete callers to their BPA caller lists as changes occur. Upon request, CO's will advise vendors of callers added or deleted since the last BPA caller list update.
(3) Changing BPA Terms and Conditions. If changes to the BPA become necessary, such as addition/deletion of clauses or changing the invoicing method, the CO may incorporate the new method by (1) preparing a Form 9-1134A, Order for Supplies or Services (Amendment), or a Form 9-1134 marked "AMENDMENT" at the top, or (2) canceling the BPA according to 403.6.6G(6) below, and reissuing it using current procedures for establishing BPA's. A change will become effective only after an amendment has been signed by the vendor and the contracting officer.
(4) Review of the BPA Document. BPA documents should be reviewed occasionally by the issuing office. If significant deviations from the provisions of this chapter are noted, such as outdated clauses or terms and conditions, BPA's should be amended according to 403.6.6G(3) above, or canceled according to 403.6.6G(6) below and reissued using current procedures for establishing BPA's.
(5) BPA File Maintenance. Documents retained in the BPA file, excluding the BPA document itself, may be removed from the file and destroyed 3 years after final payment. Documents which may be removed include log sheets, invoices, competition worksheets, and noncompetitive justifications.
(6) Canceling BPA's. The issuing office may cancel a BPA by preparing a letter to the vendor announcing the cancellation and requesting the vendor's acknowledgement. Send one copy of the letter to OFM. Place a copy of the letter in the BPA file along with the vendor's acknowledgement, if received. The BPA file may be destroyed 3 years after final payment of any unpaid invoices.
H. Review of BPA Calls. Reviews must be conducted at least once each year to insure that BPA's are used properly. Reviews may be scheduled more often if necessary. BPA call reviews will be conducted as follows:

Pakistan Squad for Champions Trophy 2013 Afridi Dropped
Pakistan Cricket Board has announced 15 member squad for ICC Champions Trophy 2013 today on 30th April 2013 at Lahore. Pakistan's best all rounder Shahid Khan Afridi dropped from Champions Trophy 2013 Squad including with the one of the most young talented batsmen Umar Akmal and Sohail Tanvir. PCB has announced not a balanced squad for Champions Trophy 2013 because we are going to play in England where Afridi's omission is justified he is out of form plus this is in England where you don't need too much spinners. Its not only SA series, he hasn't done much before that on both domestic & international.

Common Questions and Answers about Yeast infections hot tubs
I had reoccurring

avoid synthetic fabrics for your underwhatevers, stick with cotton, also avoid wearing too tight of things there; change out of wet swimsuits ASAP (
thrive in that environment); avoid
and very hot baths; and I know of some women that have resorted to going sans-underpants aside from on their period or when wearing a skirt and that was what it took to stop recurring yeast infections.

Over 2 years I have had recurrent
especially after having sex with my husband. I decided to go for a check up and had to repeat a Pap smear because my doctor of 15 years wanted it repeated for a reason she did not tell me. One of her associates re-examined me 4 months later while she is on vacation. I am menapausal and thought that the menapause had something to do with the yeast infections. My husband of 21 years say that he does not cheat nor has he.

Definitely have your mom take you to the doctor you don't want to have to worry about this anymore and it's nothing to be ashamed of. I used to get
from a public pool and the

To maintain a steady temperature, water is circulated and re-circulated through the
tub to pump out cold water and pump in
water. So, is a
bath safer than using a hot tub? A hot bath, which is not uncomfortable or scalding, is a safer way to relax. In a bath much of your upper body will remain out of the water, making you less likely to overheat. Additionally, the water in a bath begins to cool off, as opposed to a hot tub, further reducing any risk of overheating.

Do you feel the sore throat with ulcer could be related in any way? 6. Do you feel I could have had a bacterial infection from the
and/or sex? I would like to add I had not had sex with anyone else but this person for over a year. Thank you for your time and knowledge. It is definitely a worthwhile service you are providing all of us here and I greatly appreciate the dedication put into answering all our questions.

(This is where it gets tricky - you might need to verify that it's
, and not a bacterial infection. Apparently bacterial
are more common, and need to be treated in another manner.) But nothing works like the Vitamin C. You might also consider trying to change your diet. Before I had discovered Vitamin C I changed my diet drastically, cutting out all sweets and carbs, as well as briny foods and alcohol - and this seemed to help as well.

Like I said you can't rule out any STDs that you haven't tested negative for at a conclusive time frame.. IE a herpes test is conclusive at 3 months post an exposure. Yes,
Trick is a questionable STD... some doctors don't consider it to be an STD as you can get it from other sources such as hot tubs.. we can't tell you if you have any thing whether STD or bacteria. You test shows you were negitive so if you continue with symptoms then return to your doctor or a urologist.

It definitely sounds like a

One can also purchase acidopholis which is the bacteria found in yogurt. It is fairly inexpensive and can be purchased at most drug stores and health food stores, though CVS and such stores have inexpensive brands.

And you're right regarding rashes and

substance that grows because of the warmth and moisture of the navel. The one thing that cures
is yogurt with active cultures (which is in more store brand yogurts). Eat a container of yogurt everyday until it's gone and then a couple of times a week to keep it from returning.

After having a long and meaningful conversation with Calista Joshuan, I would like to take the time and publically aplogize to the whole Dover Academy.What I did was stupid. There are no words I can express on how terribly I feel for the actions I have done. I apologize for the people I may have directly or indirectly affected with my actions. I realize that I, an an adult, must step up and act maturely with my job. And from the past week, I have been doing a pretty bad job at jus that. I'm not trying to back my actions up by blaming anyone, I'm just stating an apology out to everyone out there. Now while debating on if I'll continue to stay at Dover; slips to get out of my class are available at the main office.

I don't think it'll be that easy. I'm probably going to start everyone off at a lower prestige school and let them get hired elsewhere depending on how they do.
Someone PM'ed me a while back about Sura. He's on the block.
Marion, snow, Pryzbilla on the block. Will listen to offers on mash as well.
Take me down for Butler! Also do anyone know if Sports Plus on Canal is open? Or ever open on Sundays? Fellow New Orleans
South Alabama.
Kensucky... real creative. Dibs on UK if starting anywhere WKU if lower prestige.
Dalambert, Ostertag, Tinsley, Brown, and first round picks on block
I call UNC if we start anywhere and if we start lower, I'll take Davidson.
how about we stop calling teams and just wait until the league actually exists?
I'm not trying to be a debbie downer or anything, but I've never seen where two leagues is a good thing. It hurts activity in both leagues.
Best bet would be to wait until this one is done, and if yall would rather BSH's college league than this NBA league then he could run that one.
I would definitely prefer the pros.
But if we did a college with lower teir teams, my favorite off all time were the Tulane teams coached by Perry Clark wit Kim Lewis and the Posse, closely followed by the Tim Floyd coached UNO teams with Tank.
If anyone needs points before the All Star break ends, I'm offering $8 and a second rounder for a First Round pick.
I personally like a faster paced league, but it is what it is and the commish does his best with what fits into his agenda.
From what I'm reading in these posts, this league is set to be finished at a certain point?

Washington (CNN) -- A decade-old benchmark for determining when a driver is legally intoxicated -- the 0.08 blood-alcohol content rate -- should be lowered to 0.05, reducing the amount a motorist can imbibe before being presumed to be drunk, federal safety officials said Tuesday.
At a meeting in Washington, the National Transportation Safety Board voted to recommend that all 50 states lower the threshold to reduce the nation's drunk driving death toll, which has plateaued at about 10,000 deaths a year.
Lowering the rate to 0.05 would save about 500 to 800 lives every year, NTSB staff members said, and is a crucial part of the board's attempt to eliminate drunken driving in the United States.
Under current law, a 180-pound male typically will hit the 0.08 threshold after drinking four drinks in an hour, according to an online blood alcohol calculator published by the University of Oklahoma.
That same person could reach the 0.05 threshold after two to three drinks in an hour, according to the calculator. (Many factors besides gender and weigh influence a person's blood alcohol content level. And many states outlaw lower levels of inebriation when behind the wheel.)
All NTSB recommendations are advisory and do not carry the force of law. But the independent agency is influential on matters of public safety, and its action could spur action from like-minded legislators and transportation departments across the country.
Board members -- meeting Tuesday on the 25th anniversary of the deadliest drunken driving highway tragedy in the nation's history -- said something is needed to jolt states into continued drunken driving reforms.

Matthew 19:18 ESV »Et Jésus dit:, "Vous ne devez pas assassiner ..."
Note de l'éditeur: Dans toutes les Écritures, Dieu a clairement fait savoir que verser le sang innocent est assassiner, et qu'aucun meurtrier qui entreront au Paradis. En plus de la mort de l'enfant à naître, avortement nuit aussi considérablement les femmes et de nombreuses fois, familles, maris, copains et toute une sphère de relations connectés et entourant chaque avortement. Souvent, culpabilité permanente et autres services sociaux, relationnel, problèmes spirituels et même physique suivent l'assassiner des bébés innocents dans le sein. Pastor Jim Bakker estime que cette question, avortement, peut-être la question la plus importante qui apporte le jugement de Dieu sur cette nation plus que tout autre.
The daughter of a woman who died because of injuries sustained in Dr. Kermit 's clinic in Philadelphia testified that her mother had lost consciousness and that clinic staff kept her from attending to her mom.
Karnamaya Mongar, 42, a survivor of 20 months in a refugee camp in Bhutan, died after some unlicensed member of Gosnell's staff provided her with a fatal combination of oral and intravenous drugs.
Yashoda Gurung told the jury through her Nepalese interpreter that she tried to go in and wish her mother well when she noticed that her mother wasn't awake.
"My mom was sleeping," she testified. "That's what I thought. I tried to wake her up and the lady said 'Leave her alone'."
Gosnell is charged with third-degree murder in Mongar's death along with seven counts of first-degree murder for killing babies who were born alive in his clinic. He faces charges for performing abortions after 24 weeks in violation of federal law.
President Barack Obama finally weighed in on the trial.
"If an individual carrying out an abortion, operating a clinic or doing anything else is violating medical ethics, violating the law, then they should be prosecuted," the President said on NBC's Today show.

Friday 2 December 1664
Lay long in bed. Then up and to the office, where busy all the morning. At home dined. After dinner with my wife and Mercer to the Duke's House, and there saw "The Rivalls," which I had seen before; but the play not good, nor anything but the good actings of Betterton and his wife and Harris. Thence homeward, and the coach broke with us in Lincoln's Inn Fields, and so walked to Fleete Streete, and there took coach and home, and to my office, whither by and by comes Captain Cocke, and then Sir W. Batten, and we all to Sir J. Minnes, and I did give them a barrel of oysters I had given to me, and so there sat and talked, where good discourse of the late troubles, they knowing things, all of them, very well; and Cocke, from the King's own mouth, being then entrusted himself much, do know particularly that the King's credulity to Cromwell's promises, private to him, against the advice of his friends and the certain discovery of the practices and discourses of Cromwell in council (by Major Huntington) did take away his life and nothing else. Then to some loose atheisticall discourse of Cocke's, when he was almost drunk, and then about 11 o'clock broke up, and I to my office, to fit up an account for Povy, wherein I hope to get something. At it till almost two o'clock, then to supper and to bed.
- According to Clarendon the officer here alluded to was a major in Cromwell's own regiment of horse, and employed by him to treat with Charles I. whilst at Hampton Court; but being convinced of the insincerity of the proceeding, communicated his suspicions to that monarch, and immediately gave up his commission. We hear no more of Huntington till the Restoration, when his name occurs with those of many other officers, who tendered their services to the king. His reasons for laying down his commission are printed in Thurloe's "State Papers" and Maseres's "Tracts." — B.

Liberty is the great parent of science and of virtue; and a nation will be great in both always in proportion as it is free.Thomas Jefferson
There is one thing even more vital to science than intelligent methods; and that is, the sincere desire to find out the truth, whatever it may be.Charles Pierce
Blogging is not rocket science, it's about being yourself, and putting what you have into it.Unknown
Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a sunny spring day.W. Earl Hall
We have lost the art of living, and in the most important science of all, the science of daily life, the science of behavior, we are complete ignoramuses. We have psychology instead.D.H. Lawrence
We keep, in science, getting a more and more sophisticated view of our essential ignorance.Warren Weaver
As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress.Marcel Proust
Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.Stephen Butler Leacock
...mathematics is distinguished from all other sciences except only ethics, in standing in no need of ethics. Every other science, even logic, especially in its early stages, is in danger of evaporating into airy nothingness, degenerating, as the Germans say, into an arachnoid film, spun from the stuff that dreams are made of. There is no such danger for pure mathematics; for that is precisely what mathematics ought to be.Charles Sanders Peirce
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof.Ashley Montague
Poetry is not the proper antithesis to prose, but to science. Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to metreSamuel Taylor Coleridge
Poetry is as exact a science as geometryGustave Flaubert
I warn you against believing that advertising is a science.William Bernbach
Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander the Great, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon; without science and learning, he shed more light on things human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of school, he spoke such words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, he set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art, and songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times.Philip Schaff
But probably every age gets, within certain limits, the science it deservesC.S. Lewis
History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical.Marc Bloch
Art is not a pleasure, a solace, or an amusement; art is great matter. Art is an organ of human life, transmitting man's reasonable perception into feeling. In our age the common religious perception of men is the consciousness of the brotherhood of man-we know that the well-being of man lies in the union with his fellow men. True science should indicate the various methods of applying this consciousness to life. Art should transform this perception into feeling. The task of art is enormous. Through the influence of real art, aided by science, guided by religion, that peaceful co-operation of man is now obtained by external means-by law courts, police, charitable institutions, factory inspection, etc.-should be obtained by man's free and joyous activity. Art should cause violence to be set aside. And it is only art that can accomplish this.Leo N. Tolstoy
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.Charles Darwin
A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge.Dr. Carl Sagan
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.Albert Einstein
We should remember that there was once a discipline called natural philosophy. Unfortunately, this discipline seems not to exist today. It has been renamed science, but science of today is in danger of losing much of the natural philosophy aspect.Hannes Olof Gsta Alfvn
There is no knowledge and science like pondering and thought; and there is no prosperity and advancement like knowledge and science.Ali bin Abu-Talib

I've been in a bit of a Mommy rut lately. I think part of it is the time of year. We're knee deep into the school routine, fall sports are coming to a close, and the Holiday Season is just around the corner. Everything is going 90 miles a minute, and there are days I can't catch my breath, let alone plan a solid dinner or wash enough clothes for everyone to have a matching outfit. This is hard. And, sometimes it just seems harder than it should be. It's loud, messy, confusing, and crazy hectic.
And, every day I wonder if I'm doing it right.
Over the past few weeks on Facebook, people have been counting their blessings. In some ways it's been very sweet, very quaint, and very humbling. But, to be completely honest, in other ways it's been a little annoying. It made me wonder if I was the only one who had bad days, and wished for early bedtimes for my hoodlum children. EVERYONE was thankful for their beautiful, caring, sweet, loving, obedient children. I was thankful for Diet Coke breaks to help me deal with my children (who weren't exhibiting those more than wonderful qualities).
Then, last week at preschool, a teacher stopped me in the hall. She went on to compliment my youngest as a sweet, smart, very polite young man. After quickly scanning the halls and realizing her compliment was for MY child, I thanked her and beamed down at my littlest hoodlum. He beamed right back and me and went on chattering about his day and what he learned. As he went on (and on and on), I had one of those a-HA moments, overcome with gratitude and thankfulness for my life.
Even if I'm not doing it right-at all.
Because, I've been given the blessing of Motherhood, and I should be thankful for all the loud, messy carpooling. I should smile when the kids commence their arguing, and laugh when red kool-aid spills on my freshly mopped floor. I should look at them in wonder and awe when their world collides with my own. I've been known to give the advice of "This is your life, live it and love it." Sometimes, I forget to listen to myself.
Thank goodness for this week, and for Thanksgiving. Thank goodness we have a holiday to FORCE us to say an outloud "thank you" for our blessings-blessings too numerous to count.
I am thankful for my three hoodlum children, for their laughter and their cuddles. I am thankful that they are unique, creative, and very, very independent. I am thankful for the time we share as a family, for our family traditions, and for the opportunity to relive childhood three times over. I am also thankful for my washing machine, dishwasher, the invention of windex, and earphones.
But, most of all, I'm thankful for the moments inbetween the chaos. The moments when I know I'm not doing it right, and somehow it all works out. And, as if that wasn't a sappy enough way to end this post, I'm thankful for the opportunity to give thanks-the opportunity to be still and just take it all in. I guess I fell for that Facebook status update of thanks after all.
God Bless us Every One. Have an amazing Thanksgiving. Stock up on those cleaning supplies, buy and extra SD card, and take a moment to see the day in slow-motion.

The idea behind No Logo Norway Chess was not only to arrange one of the strongest tournaments in the world, but also to show the world our beautiful country and region. A traditional chess tournament is normally held in a fairly neutral venue, where the game and the players are in focus. We will of course also focus on the players, but we will give the event a edge by showing beautiful and unique surroundings while playing chess.
The event got a lot of positive feedback from the viewers and spectators from around the world last year. Not the least from the players and their seconds and families. We will of course bring this feedback with us in No Logo Norway Chess 2014. Another important element here is of course our partners, which in various ways benefits from this from of organizing the tournament.
Starting with sea view
This year we bring players, audience and press out on the beautiful island where we find Flor & Fjære. This year the tournament is opened with sea view and beautiful flowers outside the windows during the a blitz games. This was the favourite venue for Sergey Karjakin who won the tournament last year. Now we'll see if it gives him good fortune to start the event there this year.
Factory hall
One of the most exciting tournament venues last year was the Aarbakke AS factory at Bryne. Also the players were very pleased with this venue. Here they could sit behind a glass wall, without any noice from the spectators. The audience could follow both from a tribune, just a few meters from the stars, or from screens situated in different places in the building. As we all know a chess game can take some time to finish, and during the games at the Aarbakke factory the spectators used the opportunity to look around the hall and study the techniques and products. We are very happy that Inge Brigt Aarbakke is a sponsor and partner also this year, and will again open his great factory hall for players and spectators.
New shool building
Vågen Videregående Skole, a high school located in a modern building in the center of Sandnes, is a new venue this year. Cooperation with Vågen Videregående fits well with our focus on young talents and chess for the future. Increased interest in chess in all age groups is very positive in many ways, and such cooperation with the educational institution is very important. We look forward to seeing many young chess fans at Vågen Videregående in June.
Main venue
Scandic Hotel Stavanger Forus is this year's main arena, and several of the rounds will be held there. All though the players will be staying at the brand new Scandic Stavanger City hotel which opened its doors in May. Again this year we have cooperation with Bavaria and we look forward to transporting the chess players to the playing venues with great chess cars. The cooperation with Scandic is excellent and they have promised chess surprises for all their guests during the tournament.
School tournament
Norway Chess school tournament will be played this year at Vitenfabrikken (The Science Factory). We believe this is the perfect place to gather students to play chess. Around 160 students will fight over the chess boards here the 6th of June.

Borderlands 2 Freezing [Latest Gearbox Post #2857]
I got BL2 at midnight release and have played it every day until now, it keeps freezing on me constantly. I try to load my game. Freeze. I try to make a new character. Freeze. I sit in the menu too long. Freeze. I installed it to my hard drive. Freeze. I clean the disc and try again. Freeze. I traded it back in and got a brand new copy. Freeze. I joined a friends game and it worked for 10 minutes. Freeze. I have played DVDs, Netflix, and Other games and they work fine, but when I play borderlands 2 at all, you guessed it. Freeze.
Here's my checklist I went over:
1. Not corrupted save, because I can not make a new character without it freezing.
2. I installed it to hard drive, but got nowhere.
3. I cleaned the disc and got a new copy.
4. I tried everything else available on my Xbox and they worked perfectly.
5. When I joined a friend's game it worked until we hit a loading screen.
6. I played the game fine until I got to the quest in Lynchwood about fighting the Sheriff; That's when it started to freeze.
7. Still freezes on different Xbox.
8. Still freezes after cleared cache.
Hopefully Gearbox looks into this and updates this problem soon.

Re: Borderlands 2 Freezing
Clean your system eache, this is the cause of ALOT of freezing related issues and is often overlooked. If you don't believe this can do anything, let me tell you it eliminated the freezing on Fallout 3 when I first bought it and discovered cache clearing.
NOTE: This will remove all your game updates (NOT DLC, updates that are required to download upon starting the game. For example, the title updates from Battlefield 3 will not be erased but the other updates will be.). Simply restart your Xbox and redownload each update just like you would normally to replace them.
1. Hit the Xbox guide
2. Find the Settings tab
3. Select System Settings
4. Select Storage
5. Highlight whichever memory device Borderlands 2 is installed on
6. Press Y for device options
7. Select Clear System Cache and press Yes.
Many people I know have never cleared their cache which means it can cause ALOT of loading issues that usually cause freezing.

Re: Borderlands 2 Freezing
I'm having the same issue. Just started happening yesterday.
Here's my text from another topic I created.
Begin frustration.
I originally purchased BL2 on Tuesday and I played it successfully, without freezing, until yesterday (Thursday). It then proceeded to freeze on me during the intial loading screen for the game (usually at the publishers info screen) and also during loading screens for the game and during the game itself. Currently, my game is frozen while fighting a boss.
In order to attempt to fix this I switched to my old original xbox (currently have a Slim). The issue still occurred. I also got an exchange on the game from the store and the issue is still happening. I deleted the cache based on another post in the Gearbox forum.
Short version:
Freezing issues
Tried multiple Xboxs
Tried without game installation
Tried with game installed
Tried different copies of the game
Tried clearing the cache
I'm stuck and would really like to play the game.

Re: Borderlands 2 Freezing
I'm having the same problem, I figured out that the problem is linked to the profile on the system, if you try and play with a different profile it should work, aleast that was what worked for me.
Hopefully they come but with a fix for it soon

Re: Borderlands 2 Freezing
Wow, I'm glad I finally found someone with all the same problems as me. I hope they fix it soon. I wish the devs would give us a heads up. I dont care when its fixed I just want to know its being looked into. I didn't preorder the game and buy the season pass so I couldnt play it on the account I bought it on.

for joggers, slow runners, run/walkers and newbies
What a nightmare day, and it always happens when I'm off the next bloody day.
Podds - we are opening one of those Studio Schools where pupils work 9-5, follow the usual school teaching plans, but then have a work placements from the age of 14. They also have to stay until 5pm which includes homework time and extra activities. The priciples of the school are quite exciting, they get GCSE education plus work experience and can go onto 6th form and BTECs etc. I hope it does what its designed to do, because then we would be having people leaving school who know what "work life" is all about too.
I cant remember much else, apart from DL is on a train again, Spence is enrolling DL for a marafun and Daffs is busy working a 4 day week. Normality resumes
Today I have spent the whole day working out a new 7 day rota, with a whole raft of issues to resolve with it. Finally done, and one of the team comes to see me to hand in their resignation. But think its sorted now
Border peeps are checking illegals, we're ok actually its just our "systems" need updating. But you know what its like, you go through everything with a fine toothcome just to be sure there is no nasty surprises.
Am going home because my brain is mush, Stoke this weekend so wont be in much. Play nice
I'm feeling a bit and not sure whether to say anything or keep
I think I mentioned a while back the boy saying he wanted to move English sets because the teacher can't control the class & he's finding the mucking about annoying, well he came home today saying for the last 20 minutes of the lesson they played heads down, thumbs up!!??
Now I can quite understand a 'filler' in infants, although at our school any 'spare' time would be filled with a story or 'circle time' and perhaps at a push at juniors...but at seniors when they are just back from a holiday!!??
Perhpas they were learning the imperative, Spence?
"Bossy Verbs"!
A long and lovely day for me! Went to work pretty much planning to hand in my notice this morning Then had performance review which was SO lovely and full of exciting things that I'm plotting how I can stay there FOREVER
Eating rice pudding now
Chuggs - 4 day week is indeed well planned - 4 days until October now (when my job runs out, but we'll worry about that nearer the time). Tomorrow I shall be meeting some people for tea, and doing some painting, and buying some fake moustaches for our not-christmas party next week
Oh, and maybe a run or summat
Daffs - I really don't know how you can be so laissez faire re jobs........if I didn't know where the next month's money was coming from to pay the mortgage and the bills I'd go nuts worrying about making the dogs homeless......oh and me and Mr P too !!
I postes last night, but RW chewed it up and spat it out it seems
Daffs, I love your philosophy on life, like Podds, I worry if I haven't enough to pay the bills and need to have what I feel is a safety net in the bank! Having said that, we have also lived on very little money, only just enough to get by on, but we are still here and none the worse for it!
Happy Birthday Meldy
*Puts on party hat*
*Goes to put on clothes*
What a wonderful attitude to life, Daffs. Perfect proof that owning "things" isn't the only route to happiness.
My eyes ! My eyes!!!
Happy Birthday Meldy Mouldy!!
*Strips off and puts on XB's party hat!!*
Love it Daffs I was like that when I was young, free and single and only wanted to travel....but now it's children & kids!!
children and kids, spence, blimey
Ah daffy the coroporate is still our beloved Daffy the bohemian - hoorah
Spence, sounds to me as though a chat with the school might either set your mind at rest or perhaps draw their attention to the fact boy isn't happy about what is happening during maths
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOUR ROYAL M......ELDYNESS will there be cake ?
Candied peel, chuggs small bits in cakes are ok but how does C2 eat them?
a bossy verb, Pippi? Sounds as though I need to be in your class at school - could you give me some examples?
Love the sound of the fevver game, sluggy. Do you and MS play it too
Podds, whilst I agree that every kiddywink matters and deserve the best conditions to enable them to achieve their potential in exams, as you say, are we actually doing them any favours by seeming to legitamise their foibles and making allowances for them. As my counsellor chum suggested to me everytime Cush barks and lunges at another dog, we cross the road to avoid them so as far as she is concerned, it works because she believes she has 'seen them off' Not sure I explained that very well but you know what I mean!
Work is ok but I find myself having to brief solicitors and counsel on on the finer points of EU law (which I know little about) prior to going to tribunal- thankfully my boss is very good! Today is badminton with an acquaintence who has resurfaced and then being touched up by Dean - I'm such a tart
*follows spence's example and strips off clothes but puts on dunce's hat*
Getting this off my chest
Mother in law's house around the corner is rented to a young couple and their 2 kids. I've got to go round today to investigate why a light that "was working" but "is not working now". Under cross examination from Mrs XB, it seems that they haven't tried replacing the bulb. FFS.
This is what happens if you molly coddle children.
