Subaru To Unveil First Hybrid Model at 2013 New York Auto Show
- Subaru confirmed for Edmunds that its first hybrid model will be unveiled at the 2013 New York Auto Show, but that it will not be based on the redesigned 2014 Subaru Forester.
- Subaru developed its own hybrid technology because it is fearful that using another automaker's technology might hurt the brand's image.
- The automaker will consider offering a plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle if the marketplace demands it.
TUCSON, Arizona — Subaru's first hybrid model will be positioned under the spotlight at the 2013 New York Auto Show, but it will not be based on the redesigned 2014 Subaru Forester, the automaker told Edmunds.
But don't expect a plug-in hybrid or an electric vehicle to follow any time soon.
The reason? Subaru's size and limited resources prevent it from making huge investments in new technology, at least for now.
"We're a smaller manufacturer. We're unlikely to take the lead for things that involve a lot of new technology like electric vehicles or whatever," Kenneth Lin, director of product management for Subaru of America, told Edmunds.
During a drive event in Arizona for the new Forester, Lin said Subaru had developed its own hybrid technology. Subaru has not revealed which model will offer the technology or any details about its hybrid strategy, prompting speculation the company might adapt another automaker's technology.
"That would have been the easy way to do it," Lin said. "I think for Subaru and Fuji Heavy Industries the goal was to make sure our hybrid was a Subaru and had the attributes of a Subaru. People who are loyal owners expect that."
Subaru is owned by Japan's Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Purchasing another automaker's technology is not unusual. For example, Nissan Motor Company marketed an Altima hybrid using Toyota technology. The Altima hybrid was offered from 2007 to 2011.
Since then Nissan has introduced the Infiniti M hybrid using technology it developed. Additionally, the company has announced that 15 vehicles using hybrid or plug-in hybrid technology will be sold globally by 2017.
Lin suggested that adapting another automaker's hybrid technology was a risky strategy, a strategy that potentially could harm a company's reputation, such as Subaru's.
"We felt that we needed to do it ourselves," he said. "That is why (development) has taken a little bit longer."
Lin said that because of Subaru's low production and sales volume, the automaker is one of the last companies to offer hybrid technology, and likely will be one of the last adapters of a plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle strategy if it chooses to offer that technology.
"We can't really take the risk of placing our bets on a particular technology" until Subaru is confident U.S. fuel economy regulations will not change or until the marketplace accepts a particular technology, Lin said.
Subaru is a small player globally. The automaker sold 707,000 vehicles globally last year, of which 336,441 were in the United States. By comparison, Toyota Motor Company sold 9.5 million vehicles globally, with the United States accounting for 2.1 million.
Edmunds says: Subaru will avoid plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles for as long as it can.

Is that mean Subaru will test hybrid waters with (most likely) smaller Impreza? I think I rather see Outback-hybrid... Rear wheels will be driven by el-motor(s) like in Highlander-hybrid?jacksan1 Posts:
Some Japanese sources are saying that Subaru's first hybrid will be based on the XV Crosstrek, to be released in the Japanese market in 2013.jacksan1 Posts:
Just located a Nikkei article dated 1/14/2013. It says that the Subaru hybrid is "expected to be based on the Impreza, with a displacement of approximately 2 Liter." The release in the Japanese domestic market is "this summer."
I am a manager at Sheehy Subaru in Springfield, VA. We had a meeting on the 1st of this month at the DC Auto Show with the Subaru Rep. He confirmed with us that the Hybrid will be available only in the Crosstrek. It will also add a "Green" Exterior color to the line-up for the Crosstrek. This Crosstrek will be available in the last qtr. of this year. Expect late fall.

Kim Kardashian is getting married, and just this week Kim and the future Mr. Kardashian were spotted shopping for wedding gifts at a store that seems to specialize in useless junk.
Don't worry, Lovelies, thanks to the power of the internet, we can see exactly what useless stuff Kim and her fiancee Kris are asking for on their special day.
Take, for example, the "Baccarat Cosmos Extra Large Vase":
Everything in the registry seems to fall under 'absurdly expensive' or just simply 'absurd', and this one definitely fits the former, costing a hefty $7,850. Don't get me wrong, I like it-- but even if I had that money to spend, I don't think it'd be on a vase for someone else's wedding present.
Over in "simply bizarre," we have this...thing, called "The Cactus Flacon (Number 2)":
At $450, it's one of the cheaper things on the registry, although I don't know what you're supposed to do with it once you own it.
Now, I will give credit where credit is due, I'm loving this choice of dish wear (it's Hermes!):
But overall, I think this wedding registry is more tacky than tasteful. If you want to form your own opinion, you can look at the whole list of possible wedding presents here.
What would you choose to bring to the Kardashian wedding, Lovelies? Anything of the list you just can't live with out? And can anyone tell me what a Flacon is?

hey have a questions for the parents out there...my 4 month old is really congested...i asked the doc if there was something to give him and they said "no." I have a hard time believing that so i will ask you all. Is there anything out there that might be able to helo my LO. He is having a hard time sleeping bc of it and i suction his nose out as often as i can or when there is stuff in there. Please help. thanks
congestion problem with 4 month old
Have that same problem with my LO since she was born. Doctor told me to try saline spray to help loosen it and then suction it out. Just be careful with the suction because if you irriate the delicate tissue in the nose it can cause swelling and make more problems!! Also try elevating him while he sleeps and a humidifier or a steamed up bathroom. Other than that they told me there was nothing else that could be done. They did tell me to call back if the congestion made it where she couldn't eat at all or sleep.
My LO has had the some problem to and he is five months old. You can use saline spary its called Little Ones and I also got some Baby Rub vapor it is also by Little Ones. Just rub this on her chest and back and even put it on her feet and cover them up.
Njgray21 has some good advice too. I would use a humidfer that you can put vick in it and also try elevating.
It will take a couple of days. I hope this helps.
My 6 month old is really sick and I tried everything. My dr gave her a scrip for a decongestant. It has helped a bit.
May '08 Ma-Nee to Jade~(Apraxia, SPD)
BFF w/a SitLoaf
my little man is the same way ... the saline drops help loosen it up - my doc said to use it every 4 hours or so ... after you use it keep him elevated to help it drain .... the humidifier helps too at night and elevating him when he sleeps in the crib or just naps.... its so sad but not much more you can do .... the suction ball only works for me every now and then ... good luck and hope it gets better soon.
I'm having the same problem with my 2 month old. I have been using saline drops and try to suction out his nose. I know it's in there, but nothing really comes out. At night he has a difficult time taking his bottle because of the congestion. Advise???
Mrs. Greenbean Mommy to Noah 9/10/08
I had the same problem with my LO when she was four months old. My best investment was a vick's vaporizer. Also. my doc put Cam on C-phen drops. It's a decongestant for small children. he just cut the dose down for her. i don't know that your ped will prescribe this as my DD was congested for 3 weeks and needed some serious relief. Plus, a warm shower is really good, if you take her in the bathroom and let her sit in there while your showering, it will break all that up.
My LO had the same problem. When I took him for his two month check-up I brought it up to our Ped. And he told me to use saline drops and the "boogie getter" which I was doing. Turns out I wasn't using the "boogie getter" correctly. I was kinda of tilting it up instead of straight back, and since he showed me the correct way of doing it, Ace hasn't been congested as much. I use a humidifer at night and then in the morning when I'm getting him dressed for the day I suction his nose and hes good for the rest of the day. So if your not sure if you are using the suction correctly asked your ped to show you. (my ped even show me a diagram of the nose and where the congestion sits)
We had that problem recently and it lasted about 3 weeks! There really isn't much you can give a baby. We just did all of the stuff mentioned - elevated the mattress, saline solution and nose sucker, vapor plug ins (I didn't want to rub vapor on him this early), and a humidifier. It's exhausting but they do get better.
My LO has the same problem, the ped said it would begin to clear up on its own. She also said if she continued to be stuffed up to try all of the things you all have listed above. I have not really had to try many of them because the salien worked great.

Fit-for-Her beckons guests to a facility designed from a woman's point of view, pampering them from cranium to phalange with a full array of spa services. The Forever Young facial spends one hour tinkering with the body's flux capacitor as it attempts to firm skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines. All facials bathe visages in a refreshing cloud of steam and exfoliate the porous epidermis, layering on a customized mask to address individual skincare needs and guarantee admission to the spa's midnight costume ball. In addition to facial buffing, sure-handed staff members coax stress out from the neck and shoulders with a thorough massage, aiding and abetting the facial by firmly turning frowns upside-down.
Paradise Cosmetic MedSpa restores youthful form to bodies of all types by banishing excess fat with patented LAPEX 2000 LipoLaser technology. The low-level, noninvasive laser targets recalcitrant flab that won't respond to exercise, diet, or motivational lullabies. The process pinpoints fat cells deep under the dermis, disrupting their membranes to release intracellular fat and microscopic anchors, which are carried away by the body's circulation. Each of the 40- to 50-minute procedures helps melt fat away without harming neighboring blood vessels, peripheral nerves, or skin. Although each 40- to 50-minute procedure helps contour the body, Paradise Cosmetic MedSpa recommends a total of nine sessions over three weeks to burn away a total of 2–9 inches of fat from the stomach, hips, back, arms, neck, or knees.
Avanti Medical Spa's microdermabrasion treatment sloughs away dull, spent skin cells, rejuvenating the epidermis and dampening the effects of aging. During the treatment, an experienced aesthetician uses a small handheld device to polish away the top layer of skin with a steady stream of microcrystals and whisk away epidermal evidence with a steady anti-stream of vacuum. The one-hour procedure can increase the effectiveness of skincare products, stimulate collagen production, even out skin tone and texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and mild acne scarring. After the procedure, clients can immediately resume everyday face activities such as smiling and biting Tootsie pops.
Inside Envision Salon & Spa, clients sit by a cozy stone fireplace while owner Danni Glenn channels 25 years of advanced cutting and coloring experience to craft their new look. The cosmetologist mastered European coloring techniques under the guidance of Keune's top educators. She went on to spend the next five years as an educator for the company, traveling throughout northeast Florida to share her skills with other salon professionals and flamingos born as natural brunettes.
Sharing the relaxing, sage-green space with Danni is nationally certified massage therapist Marla Taylor, who soothes achy muscles and clogged energy flows with reiki healing sessions or soothing LA stone-therapy massages. Guests can move from the serenity of her candlelit treatment room to enjoy a soothing facial or Shellac manicure, or just relax in the reception room's cushy, asymmetrical chair.

Global warming spurs commercial fishing moratorium in U.S. Arctic
Spurred by global warming worries in the U.S. Arctic, a federal fisheries council has established a moratorium on commercial fishing in a vast area off Alaska's northern coast.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Spurred by global warming concerns in the U.S. Arctic, a federal fishery council on Thursday established a moratorium on commercial seafood harvests in a vast zone off Alaska's northern coast.
In a unanimous vote in Seattle, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council approved the plan in response to the dramatic retreat of summertime ice in Arctic waters.
The plan covers a nearly 200,000-square-mile area stretching from the Bering Strait waters near Russia to the U.S. maritime boundary with the Canadian Arctic. The plan will be forwarded to the U.S. Commerce Department for final approval, and would be a boost to State Department efforts to negotiate similar fishing closures off the Arctic coasts of Canada and the Russian Far East.
There are currently no commercial harvests in the federal waters of the U.S. Arctic, which stretch from 3 to as far as 200 miles offshore through the Chukchi and Beaufort seas.
But many believe that pressures to fish those areas will increase in the years ahead if warming waters cause a migration there of pollock and other species that now sustain major harvests farther south in the Bering Sea.
"The rate of change in the Arctic is fairly well understood," said David Benton, executive director of the Marine Conservation Alliance, which represents commercial fishing groups, processors and Alaska communities. "What is not understood is the way that it's going to affect the marine environment and the Arctic people."
The council is a mix of federal, state and industry officials who help set the rules guiding North Pacific commercial harvests, which are the largest in North America.
Their plan would not impose a permanent ban on commercial fishing. Fishing would be allowed only if additional surveys indicate harvests could be sustainable and not harm the broader marine ecosystem.
"This is a precautionary approach," said Eric Olson, a Native Alaskan who chairs the federal council. "It's protective. It lays out a framework for fisheries development in the Arctic."
The summer ice pack retreated to its lowest level on record in 2007, and last summer marked the second-smallest ice pack. Climate scientists expect that global warming, caused by the buildup of greenhouse-gas emissions in the atmosphere, will cause the melting of the summer ice pack in Arctic waters by about 2030.
There have been relatively few surveys of fishery stocks in the U.S. Arctic. The latest effort was last summer, when federal fisheries scientists in Seattle chartered a fishing vessel for a three-week cruise. The top species found in the survey included Arctic cod, a fish that is important for Arctic marine birds and mammals, and snow crab, according to Elizabeth Logerwell, the lead federal biologist.
The survey nets also caught small amounts of pollock, Pacific cod and Bering flounder, three commercial fish Logerwell said were not noted in a 1977 survey. Small numbers of the species might have always inhabited the waters, or they may have migrated north in recent decades as summer ocean ice retreated.
The plan's passage reflects an unusual consensus between the fishing industry and conservationists. Jim Ayers, vice president of the environmental group Oceana, called the plan a "model for management of the Arctic Ocean." He said he found common ground with industry officials in numerous late-night conversations fueled by coffee and whiskey shots.
The plan also has garnered support from Native Alaskans in the Arctic. They are wary of the impacts of a large-scale commercial harvest upon whales, seals and other marine life that support their subsistence harvests.
But there is interest in the king crab that now congregate in federal waters off Kotzebue in northwest Alaska. If surveys indicate a sustainable harvest is possible, officials of the regional borough would like to leave that option open for a local fleet.
State Department officials say they already are discussing ocean conservation measures in other Arctic areas.

I have worn Desire for nearly 15 years. It is the cologne/perfume that will drive men & women simply crazy. It is simply yummy and sweat pounding sexiness in a bottle. What really bothers me is the price. I up still last year paid no more than [$] for a bottle. Late last year and now it is well over [$] a bottle which is way to much. No one was buying this that I new of and men and women at all times would ask me what I was waring when I had it on. No I would not tell them but simply say it's my favorite and I don't want the world to be waring as well. There is one other that I really love that I would not tell of either. It is still at a cost that is affordable. This is a must have for men who really want to know they smell great and that smell is sending out the bait to meet your mate, partner, spouse. I hope it comes down in price I'm on my last bottle. It will make a great gift for that someone special or that someone you want to be special. Hope this helps eveyone.Blessings,

Comments about Alfred Dunhill Desire Cologne:
Absolutely stunning cologne. Received plenty of compliments and longer than usual embraces from many of my female friends. Judging by the description given, I made a blind pick with this one, and it did not disappoint. It honestly gave me an added bonus to self confidence as soon as I put it on; you'll know what I mean once you try this. Definitely worth it, if you like this type of scent. The description of the item is highly accurate. (Please note, this is my opinion, but I truly believe you can't go wrong with this.)

From the Rocket to the Clownface: Mini Golf in June Melby's "Family and Other Hazards"
What did your childhood summer consist of? Swimming pools, games of frisbee, putt-putt golf? For June Melby, a Decorah resident, it was the latter--and only the latter.
When she was ten years old, her family bought a miniature golf course in Wisconsin with no employees, no expertise, and no idea of the memories they would create. Host Charity Nebbe talks with Melby about her family and her years growing up on the course.

I am an avid reader of The Times and usually enjoy reading it daily. However, I am appalled at the letter published Saturday, written by Lamar Wilbanks. He professes to be such a devout Christian and yet had written such hateful, toxic bigotry, which is totally counter to the teachings of Jesus.
I'd like to commend the gentleman who planned to stand on top of Slack's to raise the $10,000 for the Salvation Army. I've always donated to the annual Christmas fundraiser and thanked the people who took time and effort to stand out in the cold or rain to ring the bells.
The city of Gainesville is up to its same old dirty tricks. Its leaders failed in their scam annexation attempts a couple of years ago, and now they're trying again. They've shrewdly set their "public hearings" for times when impacted business owners cannot attend to look in their faces and register outrage publicly. The City Council also has done its very best to minimize awareness that meetings are even being held on Monday.
My expressed opinion from a recent newspaper article in The Times concerning the at-large voting process claim versus elected mayor and city form of government:
While I was casting my vote at the recent presidential election, I realized how easy it would have been for me to punch the wrong button and select the wrong candidate, and about the possibility of not being able to correct the error I had made and therefore, God forbid, my vote had counted.
I have been grieving since the morning of Nov. 7. It is not because of the re-election of President Barack Obama. His election to another term of office is really insignificant in the big picture. His only legacy will be leaving the nation more racially divided than when he took office.
When will it stop? Black Friday is carried into Saturday and maybe Sunday, too.
To the residents and travelers on Price Road and Thompson Bridge Road:
Congratulations to Melvin Cooper and the staff of Gainesville Parks and Recreation for being named agency of the year. Thank you for the hours of recreation that many generations have enjoyed.
Every year about this time (holidays), the trash drop-off sites are busy. Often, vehicles are backed up, six or eight, waiting.
Another election has come and gone. The president is about to finish his first term in office and start his second. I woke up the day after the election, and imagine my surprise when the world had not come to an end.
I cannot understand why anyone would vote for the Republican Party nominees because they trust in their money, and they don't care for people who don't have money. They clearly stated that 47 percent of the population was not profitable or any good. For America, is this the word of God or Christ Jesus? No.
There is no way to know who reads the opinion submittals that The Times prints or how they think and what their level of knowledge is. The contributors to this section are "flying blind" but hope our efforts are well-received and possibly beneficial. Perhaps it may be appropriate to provide a very brief resume for the readers.
It's a shame that people in our own town need help with different things, such as electric bills, medical bills and a lot more things. Sure, they offer help, but when they really need it, they're told no more funds are available.
On the morning of Nov. 15, my husband called me on his way to work as he always does. That morning he had passed something he had never seen. At the intersection of U.S. 129 and Jesse Jewell Parkway was a man preaching, Bible in hand with a headset connected to a speaker.
The holiday season brings out the best in many, and I have seen a multitude of blessings come from the season of giving we have just completed with The Medical Center Foundation's Healthy Journey Campaign.
With the holiday season, especially Christmas, the news fills with stories about threats to our most sacred religious values, Christmas and prayer in school. Two recent letters published in The Times touch on these subjects.
Has anyone noticed that record-breaking temperatures are taking place all over the country, including Georgia? New York recently was under a blanket of snow, as much as 9 feet in places. Schools and businesses were closed and even the Buffalo Bills football game was moved in only the third week in November.
It's Christmas. It's the end of the year. That time of year where everyone is enjoying the holiday festivities and winding down from their busy lives. It's a time for joy, for peace, for happiness, for forgiveness and for kindness.
Well, it's almost Christmas again and it's supposed to be a happy time of year. It's meant to be a time to focus on the one it's really all about, our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Life in a small town is great for a while. Many of us grow up in the comfort of a small town where we all gather on Friday nights to cheer on the local football team and go to church on Sunday mornings.
In spite of rain and clouds on a recent Saturday, our city of Lula, as well as other towns in the area, was busy preparing annual Christmas celebration festivities on Dec. 6. Our mayor and council had voted to purchase new (and much needed) Christmas lights and decorations for the town.
OK, this is crazy. It's Christmas shopping time and no one cares who they run over with their carts! My mother is 95 years old and when a female heard the words, "I can take someone over here," this person was like a race horse and bumped my mother's cart. But at least she got to be first in line!
On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to offer condolences to the family, colleagues and many friends of Attorney Joe B. Sartain Jr. of Gainesville on his recent passing.
On Wednesday, I read about the humanist group suing Hall County Schools over prayers. The complainants were listed as Jane Doe, Jane Roe and Jane Coe due to the fact identification posed a risk.
Wednesday, I read in the paper that this group called the humanists have filed a lawsuit against the Hall County School District for promoting prayer and Christianity.
I tend to agree with the humanist group to remove prayer in school. Likewise, then schools will be compelled to remove all the Five Pillars of Islam in Common Core.
This time of year we begin hearing about the "War on Christmas," as the nonreligious seek to enforce the constitutional separation between church and state. Others talk about a "War on Thanksgiving" as early shopping begins to infringe on family time and Thanksgiving time. But there's another war far more displeasing to God, at least according to Jesus.
Many thanks should be extended to all the local restaurants who provided free dinners to veterans on Veterans Day. Such a positive, supportive attitude only serves to strengthen the community and the country. A week later, I was impressed to see a restaurant in Buford extend the honor by providing literally hundreds of free dinners to local veterans.

Merry Christmas
I am tired of the small minority of people who take away the joy enjoyed in celebrating Christmas. The aclu and others believe we need to be politically corect but I say celebrate what ever you want to but as for me and most...we are glad that God's plan happened and I am thankful for it. To my family, friends and everyone in Salem...Merry Christmas! Jesus is the real reason for Christmas.

The "five golden rings" are the first five books of the Old Testament called the Torah which are generally considered the most sacred and important of all the Old Testament. The "four calling birds" are the Four Gospels. The "three French hens" are the Three Persons in God or the three gifts of the Wise Men. The "two turtle doves" represent the two natures in Jesus: human and divine or the two Testaments, Old and New. The "partridge" is the piece de resistance, Jesus himself, and the "pear tree" is the Cross.

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" celebrates the official Christmas season which starts liturgically on Christmas Day and ends twelve days later on the Feast of the Epiphany. "My true love" refers to God, "me" is the individual Catholic. The "twelve lords a leaping" are the twelve basic beliefs of the Catholic Church as outlined in the Apostles Creed. The "eleven pipers piping" are the eleven Apostles who remained faithful after the treachery of Judas. The "ten ladies dancing" are the Ten Commandments. The "nine drummers drumming" are the nine choirs of angels which in those days of class distinction were thought important. The "eight maids a milking" are the Eight Beatitudes. The "seven swans a swimming" are the Seven Sacraments. The "six geese a laying" are the Six Commandments of the Church or the six days of creation.

Yep...and the old 1950 Chevy hit a few clinkers on the way. But, it was a wonderful time and Christmas was so special. I really hope and pray we can get back to that wonderful time of joy and peace and celebrating Jesus' birth.

I remember the snowy streets and cold as my Dad took me to town to get tangerines for a Christmas treat and listen to him sing Silver Bells...we were not wealthy but rich with love and that's what Christmas should be all about...God's love!

Now that your tummys are full and cookies are being baked and the "global warming grinch" has made it cold, icy, and snowy...are you counting the days until Christmas. Remember those who cannot be home because they are serving to keep the world a safer place. And, don't forget those who are suffering due to a lousy economy. Please pray for God's protection and much love during theses times. Remember, Jesus is the reason for Christmas.

I love Christmas, it is my favorite holiday. I really enjoy giving gifts. I always try to setup a Christmas tree and a train set to go around it if I have time. Last Christmas was pretty much ruined when my good friend Bill Pearce died on Christmas eve. It was a very sad day for me. I do not share the belief that Jesus was in any way divine, but I think there is enough proof to believe that he might have existed. I have never held a belief in any kind of supreme being. As an Amateur Astronomer I can tell you that our Solar System is not located anywhere near to the central point of our Galaxy. In fact our Sun sits on what is known as the Orion spur in between the Sagittarius and Perseus Spiral Arms of the Milky Way Galaxy. There is nothing really unique about it, except of course it is the Solar system we call home. The idea that any kind of supreme being would take an interest in it is really laughable. Still it is my favorite time of the year. I do love Christmas.

As we get close to the Thanksgiving holiday, we see stores decked in Christmas decore. Do you think we might remember, if only for awhile, that we celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas.
The gifts are wonderful, the decorations are beautiful and the songs make us happy but no match to our Savior.

I have decided I want to go to school to get a degree and make more money than I am now. I definitely know I don't want to be making $9 an hour for the rest of my life and I want to actually do something with my life instead of working in a dead end job like I am now, with the job I have now I feel like I'm as far as I can go with this job and I'm only making $9 an hour not being able to make ends meet. The problem I have is the closest college that offers what I want to do is 2.5 hours away from SD which means one of us would have to give up custody. I really don't want to give ex custody for the next 2 years and only being able to see the kids on the weekends, and I know that would be the smartest choice as I would be busy with school and a job. I also don't expect ex to be willing to give up joint custody. I just don't know what to do. The college in the town I live in doesn't offer anything I would be even remotely interested in, and the 2 colleges that are in the next town over (only half hour from ex) is the same way. I don't know what to do, I need to do something and get a skill in something. I just don't know how to make it work without ex putting up a fight, or me losing out on raising my kids.
Not sure what to do here, advice please

"He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have." Socrates
I have looked into online colleges, but most of what I want to do is hard to do online, if its even offered online. And I really don't want to go to school for something I don't really want to do, I'm the kind of person that needs to be interested in what I'm doing to stick with it.
ETA: I do have a couple options that I could do online, but I really want to try to make this program work, since it is something I have wanted to do for a really long time.

Why would anyone have to give up custody. 2 hours is not far at all. Maybe you could do one week on one week off?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag of Cyberpunk and Cyberpunkish Speculative Fiction Tales,
John Kwok (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cyberpunk (Paperback)
Victoria Blake's "Cyberpunk: Stories of Hardware, Software, Wetware, Revolution and Evolution" is both a history as well as a contemporary exploration of where Cyberpunk exists within speculative fiction. It is a history in the sense that includes such genuine classics as William Gibson's "Johnny Mnemonic" and Pat Cadigan's elegant, and lyrical, "Rock On", as well as John Shirley's later, still memorable, "Wolves of the Plateau". It is also a statement as to where the cyberpunkish strain of speculative fiction exists in the present, with relatively new stories from the likes of Daniel H. Wilson ("The Nostalgist"), Cory Doctorow ("When Sysadmins Rule the Earth") and Paul DiFilippo ("Life in the Antropocene"). The most surprising tales included in this collection is a mid 2000s cyberpunk tale written by Jonathan Lethem ("Interview with the Crab" and Kim Stanley Robinson's "Down and Out in the Year 2000" written back in the mid 1980s as a literary critique of cyberpunk's obsession with "the street", that surprisingly, could be seen as one predicting the advent of the Occupy Movement. Overall, the collection's literary collection is uneven in quality, and one that should be noted for not including a brilliant literary stylist like Michael Swanwick, recognized too by many as one of the pioneers of cyberpunk fiction. Those interested in reading a truly memorable cyberpunk short story collection should look instead at Bruce Sterling's "Mirrorshades", merely to see why it was so compelling a literary movement and one whose influence still endures within speculative fiction.
4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars,
This review is from: Cyberpunk: Stories of Hardware, Software, Wetware, Evolution, and Revolution (Kindle Edition)
I really liked the breadth of ideas in this compilation. 8/10
4.0 out of 5 stars Very absorbing collection,
Peter Quenault (Edenbridge, Kent. UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cyberpunk: Stories of Hardware, Software, Wetware, Evolution, and Revolution (Kindle Edition)
I like the way the stories took you in different directions of potential future states. Some seemed to finish too soon just as I was getting my head around the bigger picture and could imagine greater depth of story. I found quite a lot of application to real life scenarios especially in the older stories. Overall absorbing and inspiring.
4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed bag, but overall good,
This review is from: Cyberpunk: Stories of Hardware, Software, Wetware, Evolution, and Revolution (Kindle Edition)
I'm definitely glad I bought it, and it was worth the price, but some of the stories were rather weak (one in particular was pretty dire), and some were not exactly what I would call cyberpunk. On the whole though, it's worth a read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the pennies!,
A.J. Waters (Faversham, Kent. UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cyberpunk (Paperback)
Such a fantastic collection from great writers. And so much to keep you occupied! This truly is the ultimate Cyberpunk collection!

Ha. Green and Gold Rugby right up there with Keo as the biggest tin-foil conspiracy site in sports...
Green and Gold is just a shocker. Only two of the yellow cards were for infringements.
If Cooper goes to Eels, wallabies are proper ****ed for the WC...and the Reds will die yet another death.
ARU would want to up there offer and up it now!
EDIT: pretty piss-weak of Cooper if he does go considering how the Reds stood with him over the last 3 years.
I hope he stays with Union.
De Villiers annoyed by flow of "intellectual capital" | allblacks.com - official site of the All Blacks
Interesting article - especially his comments that Chris Jack spending time in SA was the key to a revamped AB line out.
Interesting to see Cooper considering going to league. Must be the first high-profile union player somewhere near his peak to defect to the junior code for ages.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"I don't believe a word of Pietersen's book, but then I don't believe a word anyone else has said either."
- Simon Barnes renders further comment on KP's autobiography superfluous in a sentence
I'm not too sure what likelihood of his change in codes is to be, as both Cooper and the ARU have denied any switch in the immediate future anyway. From stuff.co.nz: "Wallabies X-factor Quade Cooper has revealed he wants to scale great heights in rugby union before considering any thoughts of switching codes. Despite a report his manager last week held talks with NRL club Parramatta, Cooper has told AAP he's determined to help the Wallabies to the 2011 World Cup and continue Queensland's Super rugby revival." Would personally doubt very much he'll be lost to league in the next couple of years.

I'd say it was just his manager playing the "negotiation time is near so bump up his value with a bogus offer from a rival code" game.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Awesome Recruiting' started by lakecitygator, Jul 15, 2013.
Probably trolling if that's the case
Whats up with this Trent Harris kid, is he some one the staff really wants, he is committing at noon today?
Looks like Justus (spelling?) Reed took the spot that Harris wanted. Harris had told the other schools recruiting him that he was going to commit to UF, but right after he did that, Reed committed and may have taken the only available spot at that position for this class. If he does commit elsewhere, then he waited himself out of this class. We will see.....
Well do you know enough to say who you think is better between the two
Reed is the better player regardless of ranking, he just needs to add weight. Harris should have committed earlier this year and his spot wouldn't have been taken. But you never know, maybe the staff will take him anyway, but I doubt it. Either way I'm glad we got reed
Good as long as we got the better player and reed will almost certainly add weight
Speaking of adding weight, Ermon lane tweeted the other day that he is at 207, he started the summer at 196 gained 10 pounds
Harris to miami
Jake Brown @Jake_Brown 1m
4-star LB Richard Yeargin III (@ryearginIII) named a top five today: #Clemson, #Florida, #Michigan, #NotreDame and #USC.
all have put out a top 5 recently
Every one of those last names would look good on the back of a gator jersey haha
All have florida in their choices
It's amazing how many of these top recruits are naming Michigan, and how many they are already getting. I'm glad they are though, if Ohio State is the other option up there.
It's good, urban will implode again.
Sherrod Pittman just committed to USCe
Saw a post from Zach on GatorSports that Pittman did not have a committable offer.
Makes sense. AZ hinted that he probably wasn't at the top of our board.
Didn't Mushchamp say in an interview a year or two ago that 65% of the kids he's recruited to come to UF were at the FNL's....I seem to remember that.
I am not sure if he said that or not. I know he said that most of the commits have camped at UF something like 90 percent. Right now every player that is committed besides Angus and maybe Cook has worked out at camp.

City health savings disappoint Manchester officials
"We were hoping the plan change would save money," said Guy Beloin, the city's assistant finance director.
Beloin told the committee that claims data had to be further analyzed to determine whether the higher than anticipated health costs were being driven by city employees getting more treatment or by higher costs for care.
Later on Tuesday, the full Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to move forward a proposal for the city to hire a $48,000-per-year wellness coordinator who would provide guidance to employees on nutrition, exercise and receiving preventive medical care. The board voted, without discussion, to send the proposal to the Committee on Human Resources.

Can You Be a Cloud Hero? Oracle Cloud Solutions Drive Transformation
In the world of fiction, superheroes have been known to turn to Oracle Cloud solutions for help.
But in the real world, while almost everyone now understands the potential value of cloud computing, not every organization has yet realized its potential. That's because not all clouds are created equal. But Oracle Cloud customers—more than 10,000 of them and more than 2 million users relying on Oracle Cloud every day—have a better choice.
Oracle Cloud Solutions are the most comprehensive and integrated, as well as the most modern and flexible—and they offer the greatest reliability and security. Check out the customer snapshots below to learn how these customers became cloud heroes when they implemented Oracle solutions to transform their businesses.
British Telecom
One of the world's leading telecom providers, British Telecom (BT) saw its IT infrastructure grow to include 17,000 databases and 30,000 servers.
To reduce cost and complexity, BT initiated a project to migrate its non-UK business data from a mixture of disparate spreadsheets, various accounting platforms and software, and legacy Oracle systems onto a single instance of Oracle E-Business Suite. To help make that happen faster and more efficiently, BT selected Oracle Managed Cloud Services to host its financial modules at Oracle's Texas data center.
"By consolidating many disparate systems and standardizing onto a single financial management platform, hosted by Oracle Managed Cloud Services, we have greatly improved transparency, efficiency, and control throughout our non-UK business operations," explains Mark Wade, customer experience director, BT.
Domino's Pizza
The world leader in pizza delivery, Domino's Pizza has some 9,000 hourly employees. Because the typical turnover rate for retail hourly employees is in excess of 50 percent, Domino's faced a significant challenge in attracting and retaining exceptional staff.
In response, Domino's turned to Oracle Taleo Cloud Service to recruit top talent, align that talent to key goals, manage performance, and develop and compensate top performers. So far benefits include
After a series of major acquisitions, AutoTrader—the largest digital automotive marketplace in the US—decided to standardize on a single, integrated platform that included reliance on Oracle Managed Cloud Services.
"We embraced Oracle Cloud Services because Oracle has the expertise to manage its own technology platform, so we could allow our technology and business folks to focus on the technology that is more core to our differentiation and our success," explains Dallas Clement, CFO, AutoTrader Group.
Read Oracle Magazine's "Engineered for Heroes," a fictional account of how a familiar superhero uses Oracle Cloud to manage global operations and train heroes.

Chalice (pipe)

|See also
A Chalice, also known as a Wisdom Chalice or Chillum Chalice, is a type of smoking pipe used most often by members of the Rastafari movement. It is a sort of water pipe with a hose, or drawtube, for inhaling. The water cools and filters the smoke and the hose provides additional airspace for cooling. A screen embedded in the crater protects against drawing in burning particles to clog the interior.
The word Chalice (along other premutations such as chalwa, chali, etc.) is often used to refer to marijuana itself, which certain Rastafari consider to be of specific religious importance as they believe it is a gift from Jah. The term 'Lick the Chalice' refers to Rasta communing with Jah.[1]
A bong-like chillum equipped with a water filtration chamber is sometimes referred to as a chalice, based on a quote from the Biblical book of Deuteronomy.[2] Thanks and praises are offered to Jah before smoking the chillum.[3]
