PrevNext 1 of 12 Return to Article Next Gallery Posted Fri, March 30, 2012 2:55pm EST Courtesy of Camilla Akrans and Harper's Bazaar UK While the courtroom has become her second home, the star is finally cleaning up her act — and that includes her wardrobe! For her final appearance, she ditched her revealing tops for pearls and a pretty pantsuit. Take a look back at all of Lindsay's court outfits — she has come so far! Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to the court system, and while everyone is always so eager to hear about the fate of the star the outfits she chose to wear to court seem to get the same amount of attention! Lindsay definitely wasn't taking things seriously in the beginning when she would stroll into court in a slew of inappropriate get-ups. From sheer, cleavage-bearing tops to super-short dresses her look was SO wrong. However, now that she finally completed her probation and won't be returning to the court room she seems to have put things into perspective. She ditched her questionable wardrobe, instead opting for a conservative, pale blue pantsuit. She looked mature, appropriate and professional — this is the way she should have been dressing all along! Katrina Mitzeliotis Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan is free at last of formal probation on March 29, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said, "She did it," and added "she has done everything that this court has asked of her. Probation terminates today Now." And with that, Lindsay is finally free from a 2007 DUI case, though she's still on informal probation for her 2011 shoplifting conviction until May 2014. For that, Lohan must remain trouble-free, but doesn't have to report to a probation officer.

Lohan arrived in a modest all white ensemble but her face looked ghostly pale and her makeup was extremely unflattering, suggesting that she is stressed and anxious to hear the judge's response to her lackluster probation activities.<br /> Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan makes her way to and from yet another court hearing in Los Angeles, California on December 14, 2011. Today Lindsay was to report to judge Stephanie Sautner about her probation progress and had great reviews with completing some of her required tasks early.

I found a Marlin model 81 at a gun shop today, can anyone tell me anything about this model? it is a nice full size .22 bolt action with Ballard cut barrel, no microgroove, and no serial number, are they any good? I was looking for a model 25 but found this instead, I am thinking about going back and getting it for $125 with a J.C. higgins scope
OK it look's like it is a model 81DL with plastic trigger guard

The 80/81 series goes back a long way and has an excellent reputation for quality and accuracy. I believe they were replaced by the 780/781 around 1970. Yours would be much older without microgroove rifling. $125 sounds like a fair price. I know they often fetch $200 or more on GB if in good condition. Sounds like a nice piece of history.
1956 Marlin model 39A
1964 Marlin model 80DL
1965 Marlin model 980DL
1966 Revelation model 120 (Marlin 99 clone)
1970 Revelation model 105M (Marlin 80 clone)
1979 Glenfield model 15
1981 Marlin model 780
2014 Savage model 93R17
did a little research and it looks like it was made in the early 50's $100 for the rifle and $25 for the scope appear to be going rate
the owner of the gun store said he had a couple of motorcycles that he wanted to get running, so perhaps we can do a deal

I have a 81 and shes a very accurate 22. Mine is pre WW2. I would get it. Look in side the chamber and make sure the bullet guide at the top of chamber is not broke, you will see it in picture. Its a flat crooked metal gizzmo at tthe top .

If its a model 81DL it should have a peep sight on the receiver. I have one and it is a great shooter with the peep sight. Here's mine-
The one you're looking sounds like it should be a good deal and a good shooter with the scope.

cool thanks for the info
I think I will go back and grab it next weekend if it is still there
I have some dummy 22 rounds (like snap caps) so I can check how it feeds
is that a common problem with this model? is it a big deal to replace that bullet guide ?

May I resurrect this thread?
Just picked up a Mod. 81 in good condition. A little rough but I think it will clean up. What age would it be? Has no ser.# and no JM stamp.
Micro-groove barrel has "AL" stamped on left side just below sight dovetail. Alloy trigger guard, gold trigger and stainless bolt. Nice pistol grip stock Marlin Bullseye and black & white caps on both grip and butt. I know it will be a great shooter but would like to know more about Mod. 81.
Thanks, Steve
Micro-groove barrel puts it 53 or later, no serial # puts it earlier than 68. According to Brophy the white spacers were used on the bolt actions starting in 60. The gold trigger was added to the 80, 81, and 980 in 64, If the receiver is grooved, that would also put it 60 and later. He also says that in 60 the plastic trigger guards were now standard (someone may have changed your guard, or stock) . The problem (as far as aging one) with the old Marlins is that you could throw a bunch of random year parts into a pile and put together a fine rifle with whatever parts you happened to pick up. Most would interchange. Stock change is VERY common. Closest way to age is from barrel and bolt, but bolt change is common also. If you know your gun to be original configuration, I would say 64-67
Also a pic would help. Are you sure the "AL" is not a "DL" ? A "DL" with a gold trigger could put it 62-67
"AL" puts it at January '68, prior to the mandated serial numbers implemented that same year.
A word to the wise ain't necessary, it is the stupid ones who need advice.

Working to Get My Dream Job
Emmanuel Haynes is being honored as a Youth Jobs+ Champion of Change.
My name is Emmanuel RaShad Haynes and I am a 12th grade student in the St. Louis, Missouri Public School System. I am the fourth of five children born to Timothy and Renee Haynes. I am a determined young man who hopes to become an entrepreneur and establish myself as a productive United States citizen.
In an effort to reach my goal, I sought out summer employment opportunities. My school put out flyers that showed zip codes in which students could participate in these types of programs. I then followed the necessary steps and obtained the opportunity of my lifetime. When I was asked at the orientation which career choice I would like to experience, I selected funeral director. The case managers at Mers Goodwill were able to find me a placement at a funeral home and when the owner of Ronald Jones Funeral Chapel agreed to allow me to be the only intern I was elated. The biggest question I was asked was, are you afraid? My answer was no becauseI want to own a funeral home someday and have the opportunity to help families at one of the hardest and saddest times in their life. It meant really seeing how the drugs and senseless killings were hurting a lot of young men and women in my neighborhood and how it affected their families and friends. This experience allowed me the opportunity to on a daily basis put on a suit and tie and display professionalism in difficult and nerve racking situations.
Through this opportunity I was able to go behind the scenes and experience the business side of the funeral home. I learned why it is important to have life insurance and how death can and does leave a burden on your loved ones. It is also important to have a vision and a plan for your life, and I am now determined to beat the statistics usually associated with the other youth of inner city North St. Louis, and I will not go to prison. In May of 2014 I will graduate from Carnahan High School of the Future and then attend college with a major in Mortuary Science. It is also my dream to work closely with my father to establish a Youth Center at our Church to create programs that will assist with living skills as well as training that will help them to select college majors easily instead of spending too much time trying to decide. The Outta Love Christian Baptist Church in St. Louis, MO is my church home, where we live by the slogan, "Everything We do We Do it Outta Love, and Outta Love is How We Do". I would like to thank everyone involved for this opportunity and I am going to help others in my future career, "Outta Love." I will also like to thank St. Louis Youth Jobs and Mers goodwill case worker Ms. Shakema for all her hard work and determination to help my sister, myself, and others. President Obama, thank you for believing in youth like myself so that we do see change. As a Champion of Change I declare that I will continue to fight to assist other youth to make changes in their lives.
Emmanuel Haynes is a 12th grade student from St. Louis, MO and is currently attending Carnahan High School of The Future. He participated in the Mers Goodwill St. Louis Youth Jobs Program as a Funeral Director at Ronald Jones Funeral Chapels.

For something like the kernel, keeping the source directories around if I haven't built that version before ( or if there have been major changes such as when I was upgrading only from a very old system that needed the old compatability sysfs options for less ancient kernels) is a good idea. If the kernel boots, I can get the config from /proc/config.gz - it's the ones that don't boot which are the problem ;) My scripts *used* to build (as root) in /usr/src because that was conventional and traditionally intended for root to build in, and kernels and anything else built manually as a regular user were in ~/. Nowadays I use a dedicated partition which doesn't get backed up, and which has _writable_ directories belonging to me and someone called lfs, and another directory that root uses in my scripts. So, you certainly want space to build things, and it needs to be writable by whoever does the building, but it doesn't matter where you put it. BTW, I mention "not backed up" because '/' '/boot' and '/home' get backed up regularly by fcron invoking an rsync-over-nfs script. That uses a *lot* of space on the server (typically 2.5 times the size of the data : the copy is then rsynced to a retention area using hardlinks for GDG-style backups) and my server disks aren't huge - main system now on a 1TB disk including the area the backups are first written to, and a pair of 1TB RAID-1 disks for inter-alia the backups themselves and also a lot of photos and media. There are probably an infinite number of sensible partitioning strategies, but knowing how you will recover if things go wrong (e.g. a dieing disk) should be a consideration. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce

Hence the reason why competition is considered to be good for consumers. In cases where one company holds a monopoly on all the goods or services in an area, the consumer has little to know bargaining power. A look at the phone industry is a great example of how introducing competition made things better for consumers. Back when "Ma Bell" was the only game in town, long distance and local rates were pretty well decided by whatever the phone company decided they should be.
After the telecommunications industry was deregulated, rates dropped considerably for consumers and laid the foundation for competition in lower prices in new technologies such as cell phones, Internet service, etc.

there is no right or wrong number of children one person should have. If you only have one, than thats whats ment to be for you. No one can choice that for you. I want lots of babies.

i have to admit, when i say to alot of people that i dont want another child, one is enough, they tend to look at me a bit funny. Even my partner says we have to have at least 2 kids, else the one you have ends up spoilt. i have to say i dont agree, if your gonna spoil your children you will do it regardless to how many you have.
so i can safley say, you can happily go along in life with just one. i just tell people now, i am happy enjoying my daughter at the minute, which is true, but i dont want anymore, they dont have to know that though.

Whenever someone asks me if I plan on having any more children after finding out I have just one child, I give them the same response. I don't plan on having any more kids, but if God decides to give me another one, I will have another one. Then I tell them that I'm an only child.
Aideen - posted on 10/27/2009
As an only child myself I have to say there is a plus side to being 1 of 1. I wouldn't say i was spoilt but I was able to have a very close relationship with my Mother which was great and of course piano lessons etc weren't such a huge strain for one child so i got a chance to try all those things out. (maybe a little spoilt in that regard, but not lots of toys). In contrast my partner is from a large family (10kids! ) and I feel he really missed out on that closeness to his parents and he followed his own path in life with little guidance from his family about career etc. I always had great support in those practical things...morgages, bank a/c... and talked about quite grown up topics at home so I think I was better prepared for adulthood.
Now as an adult (29) my parents have passed away relatively young and I have to say that I miss not having any very close family...besides my own kids and partner that is. I'm close to my cousins but a brother or sister is different really. To be honest I'd find it very difficult if I hadn't my own family started by time my parents passed away....I feel completely alone at times. This is one of the reasons we had our second child but it wasnt the only reason, it suited us.
I would try to ensure that an only child is close to some cousins at least as family relationships are for life regardless of most circumstances. I wouln't go so far as to say my parents should have had 2 as that was not practical for them and I am very appreciative of all the time I was able to spend with them and the support I received down through the years and the interest they were able to have in my life.
I's a tricky decision as we cannot predict the future...u could have a second child to avoid this being alone as adults and they might not get on as adults or live very far apart. Who knows!

I've also hear nothing but negative comments about only having one child. I've been told that it's not fare to my daughter not to have a sibling. But is it fare to bring another child into the world and not being able to provide for them.Everyone thinks she's going to be alone but will be growing up with friends kids and family that are the same age. People need to learn to keep their comments to themself. I don't think there is anything wrong with only having one child.
Shayna - posted on 10/24/2009
I love children, I love being a mother, I love having a family. However I came from a large family and although I enjoyed the company I never wanted that for myself. My hubby & I have a son together, and that's all we plan on having. I don't care what people think of me in any way. I want to travel the world with them, pay for his full education and many other aspects of his life, while living mine to the fullest.
I did have a miserable pregnancy being deathly sick and alot of complications. I also had a miscarriage after having my son, that is when I drew the line and decided I would not let myself go through that again, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

My Partner and i have had very long dicussions on this subject.
we have a beautiful baby boy who is almost one..
we have both decided that we are not ready to have anymore children at this stage, and arent too fussed if he is our only child but we havent completley ruled out other children.
I have a younger brother and there is only 20months between us, but yet my partner has an older sister who is 9 years older. so he pretty much grew up as and only child.
i honestly think its one of those things that has to be decided between the family, and if people have an opionion on that well.... as long as a family you are happy then it doesnt matter what other people say and do....
S - posted on 09/22/2009
I am an only child myself, and I can tell you from experience, it is not bad at all. Actually, it was lots of fun!
My partner and I have decided to only have one child and we get a lot of criticism because of it. You know, the whole concept of a nuclear family (2 parents, 2 kids, etc) is a fairly new concept (less than a 110-yrs old). Family is what you need and want, and if that means 10 kids (granted, need to make sure you do it responsibly, and you can provide for them, not only financially but psychologically) or 1 is completely up to you and your husband, not the rest of the world.
Only children don't all turn out to be spoiled brats that cannot fend for themselves, or whatever else people like to think. It is up to you to make sure your baby has a balanced life and that's about it. I cannot imagine my life with a sibling, so I guess my parents did a good job, and I hope I can do the same for my daughter.
Lindsey - posted on 09/21/2009
I think it is a personal choice however you have to think someday you are going to be gone and do you want to leave your child alone? Cousins and other family dont compare to a brother or sister. I too only wanted one child until a family member with no siblings told me why they wished they had a sibling.
Lacey - posted on 09/21/2009
Of course, everyone is different and what works best for you in your family situation may be different than what would be ideal for others. Both my husband and I are only children, so we've definitely decided that we didn't want our son to be an only child and we are planning on having at least one more. Each family situation has its pros and cons. Talk about it openly with your partner and list the pros and cons you see with a single-child family situation and with a multiple-children family situation. Only you know what will work best for you.

i absolutely agree. there could not be a better response to that question. how many children you have is a personal choice.

I am an only child. I am 52 years old and both my parents are deceased. When I was growing up I saw how my firends argued with their siblings but also how they were there for each other and always wanted that. I was always allowed to have friends go places with me and stay over night but it's not like having a sibling. When my parents were ill I would have loved to have someone to talk to about it and help me deal with things. Now I have no one in my family left except for MY family I have with my husband. I was never spoiled and very much loved but sometimes lonely. I see alot of posts on here about what is best for the PARENTS but are you also thinking about what is best for the child you have. I agree though it's a personal choice and if you can't afford to have another one then please don't The picture on my profile is of my 2 children

i would definitely consider having at least 2! my husbands uncle and aunt only had one and he is off the wall and totally spoiled and doesnt know how to share! also when he has children, they wont have any cousins! and personally, i had alot of fun playing with my sisters growing up, i dont think that anything could have replaced that. also, it gives you a break, they will always have a playmate!

I personally want to have another child because I grew up with 2 brothers. We were all very close and it was like having a BF living with me my whole life...However, who cares what anyone else thinks, you have to do what YOU want.

Having one child can be a pro and a con :)
I am an only child myself so i can tell you an only child can be abit spoiled, but its good in someway as well because we are closer to our parents.. I am very close to my mother, if i had of had a sibling i wouldnt be as close i see this now.
It depends what sort of family you have too . My mother was a solo mum so this worked better for us.

I just had my first baby in June. In about two years we are going to try for one more. I think having 2 kids is a good thing, because I don't think one kid should grow up with out a brother or a sister, because they will always have someone to be with them, when me and my hushand are no longer here, I have a sister and I am so happy to have someone to go to if i need someone to talk to, I don't know what I would do with out a sister,

I'm an only child - I don't really mind being an only child but I will never understand the bond that people with siblings share which is something that would be nice to experience in a sense but I was fine growing up on my own. One of my cousins lived with us off and on and I didn't like sharing my mom with them sometimes, lol. My mom and I have a really close bond and I feel lucky about that - maybe I wouldn't be as close if I would have had a sibling - who knows. I agree with Sara - I mean, I know I was spoiled (to an extent) but it's true - you will spoil your kids regardless of how many you have. I say, do what makes you feel happiest and what you think you can handle. It's what you think that matters - you have to raise them!

Well Iam the youngest of 7 children so I love the idea of a big family, and couldnt imagine being an only child. but I think as long as your child is surounded by lots of people that love him and are close to him through out his life then it doesnt matter if he is an only child. Dont listen to other people if you only want to have the one then just have the one and dont feel bad about it.

I am 27, my husband is 29, and we're just now 6 months pregnant with our first. I don't know if we will have another or not, but the subject gets brought up, always by others in the form of "well, when are you going to try for another?". And, honestly, that question irritates me a little. We tried for over 2 years to have this one, and it was a long, stressful, emotionally draining process, and if #2 would be the same way, I want no part of going through that again. I plan to spend as much time as I can loving this one and devoting our lives to making his special. If we choose to have another one, that will be later and I wish others would let me enjoy this one before badgering me about another one. People can be very rude when they think they know whats best for you and your family. I find a polite, "I'm not sure yet, I want to enjoy my first before I worry about another" usually works. Just brush them off, love the one you've got and if your life brings you another one, love it too. :)

I have 3 wonderful daughters but haveing one child isnt so bad because then you can have a lot of one on one time but if you got help like a husband or bf then i gess haveing a nother one for a play mate isnt so bad.But that is your choice..
Lisamarie - posted on 09/20/2009
I was a one of 5 children n I enjoyed growin up wiv siblings. I always wanted four children and my hubby wanted 2 so we've compromised and are going for 3. My daughter is 2 and a half n my son is 10 weeks. I think it is down to personal choice. My babies are perfect they both started sleepin thru the night at 6 weeks and are very calm through the day, although my daughter is going thru her terrible twos, I love being a mummy and nothing makes me happier. We pay for our children so we're not 'scrounging' off the tax payer and they are both well looked after.
I do not agree that children with silblings share better though, my daughter, an only child until recently is brilliant at sharin everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) but my 3 nephews (All siblings aged between 6 months and 3 yrs) are terrible at sharing and do not let my daughter play with anything of theirs and she just does as shes told, bless her. lol
I think whether you have a second child depends on your first, my daughter was brilliant so I had no qualms about having another, but if I had my oldest nephew (born four months before my daughter) I don't think I'd have anymore but they went on to have two more and want more! So it jus shows it comes down to how many children you, your body and your wallet can take. :)
Deanna - posted on 09/19/2009
oh, yes. My husband and I had only one child for 5 1/2 years before I had my second child, who is 8 1/2 months now. My husband and I started trying for a 2nd child when my first child was 2, it just took us about 3years? I've noticed people looked at us like we didn't have a full family, even though we felt like a full/close family. Everyone around us had at least 2 kids, which seemed to make our family the odd one out. People would always reference how an only child doesn' t know how to share as well as children with siblings even in the same setting when my child was clearly sharing better than theirs? No matter what, it seemed like having one child wasn't good enough. This is not true, it's how you raise them. My only son went to a pre-school/day care center since he was 18 months old and did well at sharing with other kids and with mom & dad because we tought him. He still shares well to this day. The only child gets a bad name, unfortunately. I believe the only child is sooo lucky because they have the individual attention of both parents (in our case). We could spend all of our time with him when we wanted. You tend to have more time and more patients with one child. After having our 2nd child, it seems like our love in our family has grown even more. It's amazing to see the children's love for eachother, I wouldn't change that for anything.
Ruth - posted on 09/19/2009
Bill Cosby always said that you're not a real parent if you only have one child because you always know WHO DID IT. But all jokes aside, I think it is a good thing to have more than one child if it fits into your plans and lifestyle. I am a mother of 5 children (4 boys and 1 girl). My sons are very close and see each other as friends not just brothers and for the most part my daughter is included in that too. However, being the only girl gives her the experience (on a minor level) of being an only child. There's only so much togetherness for her with her brothers. But I definitely think it is better to have at least 2 children health permitting.
Sandi - posted on 09/19/2009
Bottom line.....it's the choice of the parents. Some people only have one child cuz of the health risks that come with having another child or are unable to have another child. Other people just prefer to just have one child. Either way no one has the right to judge you for the amount of children you do or do not have. Just remember that their opinions are just that......opinions. I hope this helps!!
Timbrel - posted on 09/19/2009
i do not think that how many children you have decides if the child is spoiled or not...it is the parenting...yes i know a lot of kids who are an only child who are spoiled but once again thats because of the parents...i am one of 7 siblings and yes i was a spoiled brat!
Emma - posted on 09/19/2009
well think if it this way if you have one thats older and one thats younger the older one will be able to do more like stay up latter and have more firends over and stuff like that and the younger one is going to ask you so many questions like why cant i do that and wine untill they can do the smae
Mandi - posted on 09/19/2009
I'm 31 and expecting my first baby next March. Up until now, I was not interested in having any children, but I firmly believe that we would all be alot happier if we cared less about what "other" people say/think and did more of what really makes US happy. My advice is: If you are happy with one child or several, Kudos, you're ahead of the pack! Just enjoy what you have and be grateful.
Jackie - posted on 09/19/2009
Its your body, your family, your home and your sanity. If one is all you want that's all you should have no matter what people say. There is nothing more wrong with having one child as there is having 18 children. The reality of the misconception of single children is from post war times. People were encouraged to have more children since the war was over and needed to be encouraged because they were scared to have more children. In Canada they began paying parents to have more children with "Baby bonus" which I might add we still get to this day. Its all propaganda and about population control. Don't allow people to make you feel guilty for your choices and do whats right for your family. Think of it this way.. what if only one is what you can have and it wasn't a choice would they be saying those things to you? Of course not they would be saying "Enjoy the one you have" "Be grateful you have one".
Theresa - posted on 09/19/2009
I think that decision. I have four, and a lot of people would say that is too many. some people say that you should at least have two. My thing is that if they are an only child, god forbid that you and the father passed away, who would they have. There is nothing like having someone to be there for you like a brother or sister can.
Rachael - posted on 09/18/2009
I have one child she is 18mnths and iam considering having another child altho my daughter is perfect... and everything we could have ever wished for. My partner works alot and we are renovating our home so i think now is not a good time for us to have another. Im only 24 but my partner wants to be a young parent so he may only want another one in the next few years. Its deff up to choice, everyones circumstances are different and i think its important to consider how you are going to raise your children and provide for them. Im going to have to go back to work soon but have loved being a stay at home mum. If i have another i would want to be at home with them for as long as i could aswell. Mothers are judged too much its like everything you do has to be accepted by everyone else.... . People should just be happy for you and what you decide... because it is YOU that has to do the work and live your life :)
Heather - posted on 09/18/2009
I don't think it's a terrible thing...I know plenty "only child" children. 1 can be blessing enough. However, I do think they miss out on a lot not having any siblings. I have 3 children and for what they share with each other is incredible! Their cousin is an only child and he doesn't have or will never have the closeness that siblings share. It's unfortunate, I believe.

Who can afford a bunch of kids these days unless you marry into money! (or win x-lotto) It's a drain on Centerlink and whoever pays taxes. It's true that the average size of a family these days has declined- either through marriage break ups or simply because they cannot afford to raise six kids like our parents did! If you are happy with having one child that's great. Your child wont be any better off being an only child compared to one that has 5x brothers or sisters. When they all get to year 1 at school I am sure they will be able to walk, talk and wipe their own bum regardless of how many siblings they have or don't have! Do what you feel is right for your own family. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. So what if you can only afford or want to have one child...just be lucky that you even have a child as some people can't have kids.

My husband and I basically had the same conversations you and your husband did as well. I, too, had an amazing pregnancy and loved being pregnant and the whole experience. Then when I I say that, and then I say that we are not thinking about having more children, they look at me like I am nuts. So, I just smile and try to remember that people are entitled to their opinions and they don't need to affect me if I don't let them :) Easier to write than to do, I know.

My husband and I have decided we only want one. When people hear this they assume that we do not like being parents. I had an amazing pregnancy, delivery and my daughter is pretty easy going. We chose to only have one before we even had her. I love being a mom. Also, alot of people tell me that I have plenty of time to change my mind as I am 24. We have really thought about it and while I never say never, we have decided that one suits us perfectly. My family feels complete. I am completely happy. Besides, in this economy who can afford a bunch of children. I want to be able to provide my daughter with a good life, and unfortunately this involves having money.

I have a4 month old daughter and i am only 20 years old, but i have been thinking alot about whether i do actually only want one child or two, (two being the maximum i would have) I would like to look at it from my perspective and say that one is enough and easier for me, but when i look at her i dont ever want her to be lonely, i can imagine if i were an only child i would want someone closer than i friend that i have known either all of my life, or all of theirs. I have heard that having a sibling and having monitored peer and social activities will help keep the child in line (as in, not getting into bad things in their teen years, because they wont be forced to always look to their friends for company)

I just had my first five months ago, and while I see peoples' points as far as having a playmate for my son, I think that in the corrupt world we live in, with all the drugs, sex, and voilence, it takes everything a parent has to raise their child right. That's why me and my fiance decided to just have one. We're going to focus on raising our son right, and hope he makesgood choices in life. It's all up to the parents, not anyone else.
Dhaisyduke - posted on 09/17/2009
I am one of three kids.. a younger and older brother... and before kids I always wondered why people would want just one kid... but after having my son, i realized how fulfilling that one child is to you.... having said that, I also believe that having siblings brings so much for your child.... growing up, of course, I fought with my bros and hated them both at different times in my life, but I also remember all the fun I had with them... and now I feel so close to both of them and they have given me so much more -- b/c experiencing being an Aunty is also a great experience.
But that is definately your choice!! If you truly only want one then have one.. if you are on the fence... just think about how much a sibling will bring to each of their lives and yours!!
Good luck!
Angela - posted on 09/17/2009
I will be honest, I do not completely understand only wanting one child, I do understandhow that can happen. My husband and I wanted two children but I had started college classes and we were not sure how a second child would fit into our lives. If it was not for the fact that I unexpectentantly got pregnant, I am not sure if we would have done it. I now realize that it really is up to you and your lifestyle. Kids are expensive and if both parents are working I cannot imagine how hard it would be to have more then one.
Kristi - posted on 09/17/2009
one seemed easier, but now i have 2. i found out that i kinda spoiled my first when it was just him--thats easier to do with just one. i think that is why there is so much negativity, although i know some people who werent onlys that are just as spoiled. people tend to steriotype only children as spoiled rotten brats, but that is really only a steriotype, like all blonds are empyheaded, and all redheads have bad tempers (although that last one may be true :) )

I think its a personal choice. I personally would like to have more than one child because I grew up with siblings and enjoyed the companionship. However, my husband was an only child and he turned out just fine!

Personally its yoru own choice, if you only want one then only have one, but to me, i know its weird but i think a minimum of 2 is good, cause at least if something happens to the parents, although there would be plenty of people to love and care for the kids, at least they would have each other to get through it, its not the same, coz there wouldnt be anyone else made up of the same as them, think im proberly confusing you more than anything but do you get what i mean........

I just had my third baby. I had a boy and a girl, ages 6 and 5, and now gave birth to a girl. We totally love our kids. We may not be able to spoil them like some people do, but kids don't need that much, if you spoil them too much they get a distorted view of life and won't know how to cope if they're put in certain situations. I think all children need a sibling for companionship. On the first day of school for my son, my daughter who is 1 year older, took him by the hand and helped him through the day. They tell me they play together at recess and sit by eachother at lunch. At home they fight like crazy, but when they'r on their own, it's like it's them against the world. It's nice to see that. It's just my opinion, but you may miss out on certain things you wouldn't otherwise experience.

Have one do the best job you can and know that you did the best job you could! you may change your mind tho once your baby is like 7 or 8 and is able to help with a new baby and really likes being an older sibling!!

(page 2 of 2)
What I experienced at the Reform biennial, frankly, is the same thing that I always have loved most about my father's unique way of expressing his Judaism. The biennial's inclusiveness, striving for unity, love of humanity without judgment, and honest respect for the individual/collective journey of the soul were hallmarks of his approach. Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the movement, spoke about the importance of "audacious hospitality" above all else, and these words reflect my own mission in this world.
I would like to believe that I share this mission with my detractors. Aren't we all trying in our own way to bring meaning, peace and unity to the world?
In my opinion, peak spiritual experiences happen when we are able to connect to something greater than ourselves, bigger than our own limited existences, beyond time and space. What the Jewish people desperately need at this moment is a greater sense of Klal Yisrael — Jewish peoplehood.
At the Reform biennial, I did not have a religious experience, but a community experience: My soul made aliyah to the greater Jewish community, to Am Yisrael. A portal opened and I saw us as one, connected and bound together by common history and purpose.
I'm still the same person I have always been. I still appreciate and follow the ritual I was raised with, still feel profoundly connected to the way I have always practiced my own Judaism. My statement was one of inclusivity. It is tragic to me that it has been misconstrued as a denunciation of the Orthodox world wherein I was raised.
Put another way, at the Reform biennial I had a true "Shlomo moment." I was blessed to experience the love for Klal Yisrael in a way I could intellectually grasp but frankly had never felt before.
To those whom I have offended — ki va moed: The time has come for us to break down the walls of denominationalism and simply be Jewish. It is time for a new way, a new vision, a new moment for us all.
My song stays the same but my kavanah (intention) is deeper, my eyes are open, my family is larger.
My new recording, "Soul Daughter," will be released this month. Produced and arranged by Josh Nelson, it features performances by the Broadway cast of "Soul Doctor," the play about my father's life that I was blessed to co-create.
As I have been completing my singing for the recording, I feel that I am singing my father's music from a new, expanded place in my heart, with more tears, vulnerability and longing than I ever was able to feel. As an artist, I thank you for allowing me to access this place in me.
I pray that we will all continue this important conversation, but perhaps with a new level of respect, as brothers and sisters, in the way my father would have want of us.

California is back in the news. On Saturday, Governor Jerry Brown announced that the state's budget deficit would exceed the original estimate he made in January of $9.2 billion. The new deficit is projected to be a remarkable $16 billion. With state spending still through the roof, unemployment at 11 percent, and poverty on the rise in the Golden State, hope is diminishing that California's finances will ever return to normal with anything short of a declaration of bankruptcy.
So how did California get in this ugly predicament? The same way the federal government did; by interfering with free market forces by erecting a massive welfare leviathan. The only difference between the caretakers in Sacramento and the caretakers in D.C. is that the latter have the political luxury of printing money to forestall the inevitable day of reckoning. Sacramento does not have that same luxury and unless something drastic happens, it faces insolvency right now.
The five features of the welfare state that have brought the current financial calamity upon California are overregulation, bureaucracy, high taxes, social welfare programs, and unionization.
Overregulation and bureaucracy go together. It has been said that the fastest-growing entity in California is government and its biggest products are bureaucracy and regulation. California's environmental regulations have always been legendary, but little noticed is the enormous bureaucracy built to regulate most other areas of life. Maintaining these ever growing monstrosities costs a fortune. Additionally, their onerous regulations are one reason that for the seventh year in a row Chief Executive Magazine's survey of 500 chief executives ranked California as the nation's worst state to do business in.
Besides regulations chasing business from the Golden State, there are also high taxes. Statists claim that California's budget deficits have been caused by an ever-shrinking tax base. This is the old chicken before the egg argument.
The reason the tax base continues to shrink is precisely because taxes are so high. California has the 48th worst business tax climate. Workers who earn more than $48,000 a year pay a top income tax rate of 9.3 percent, which is higher than what millionaires pay in 47 states. Its sales tax is one of the highest in the nation, at 8.25 percent. Rounding out the levies that rank among the highest in the country are its capital gains taxes, gasoline tax, and vehicle license taxes. High taxes are a big reason why the state has seen a net loss of four million citizens to other states in just the last two decades. When government raises taxes, the astute find ways to avoid them. The industrious cut back their enterprises and in the case of California, many simply left for lower tax states.
Lastly, Californians have voted for and built a huge social welfare system that puts an enormous strain on the state treasury. The state has about 13 percent of the country's population but 33 percent of its welfare recipients. Add to that the union contracts of state workers and it is no wonder California is a sinking financial ship. Her prison guards and public school teachers are the highest paid in the country. As of 2009, the average pay and benefits package for a firefighter was $175,000 per year.
California is not alone. For decades, the United States, Greece, and Spain have created welfare states that have choked the lifeblood out of the free market. All face grave financial circumstances today. The free market's great revenge is that welfare states cannot last forever. Their inevitable collapse comes because they are not self-sustaining. They grow by feeding off the labor of hard working citizens either through higher taxes or inflation. At some point either those sources dry up or the social programs become so large that no amount of money could ever be raised to keep the scheme going. Like Spain and Greece, California is facing immediate financial insolvency. The only thing keeping the United States from the brink is Bernanke's printing press.

A lot of things may be automated these days. But at the Sheep Barn, it still takes a human being to shear a sheep. It also takes determination, strength and quickness. Contestants shear four sheep each. They're judged on the time it takes them , the quality of the shearing, the condition of the fleece, and how they handle the animals during the shearing.

text: When I first started to hunt deer, the experts of the day said I should focus on deer sign. Things like primary scrapes, boundary scrapes, hub scrapes, territorial rubs, rub lines, licking branches and signpost rubs dominated their language. As a result, I walked through the woods dazed and confused. I tried hard to figure it all out and even harder to apply it where I hunted, but the pieces never fit. I was always guessing more than seemed wise. It was like putting together a jigsaw puzzle where half the pieces were blank, or worse, they were missing altogether. Frustration set in after a few years of bumbling and ultimately I gave it up and became a terrain and cover hunter. I determined that patterning deer using sign didn't work, so I started looking for something simpler. My search took me to the soil conservation office where I picked up my first aerial photos. Everything changed that day. Things suddenly made sense. Using the terrain and cover to suggest funnels and natural travel routes actually worked and it became the foundation for all my hunting. From then on, I didn't (and still don't) spend much time looking at sign. That's when I began to shoot some nice bucks. Along Came Trail Cameras I soon found that while sign forces you to guess, a trail camera tells you everything you need to know: what, where, when. For me, the cameras didn't diminish the art of the hunt; they did, however, make it easier to figure out where to focus. Basically, if you are hunting logical stands in a part of your hunting area with the most nice bucks, you are more likely to shoot one than if you are hunting logical stands elsewhere. The cameras just give you another tool for playing the odds. Trail cameras, however, are a double-edged sword: They sometimes teach things we can use to kill a certain buck and they sometimes tell us that nothing of any size is living on the farm. In the past, ignorance was bliss and we would hunt with great expectation and care because we hoped Mr. Big was lurking nearby. When we don't find Mr. Big in our photos, however, it is easy to become sloppy. Be careful not to fall into that trap because the camera doesn't tell you everything. Never assume that because you don't have photos of a nice buck that none are in their vicinity. I killed three bucks last season and I had photos of all three of them. Two were regular visitors to the camera while the third only showed once at a distance. I didn't even know it was the buck I shot until I took a closer look later. He could just as easily have passed 10 yards farther away and the camera never would have picked him up at all. Camera Lessons I killed those two during the high-activity days of the early rut. So, patterning is a relative term. The cameras didn't make it easy, they served only to help me narrow down to the best general areas that year. It paid off once, which is definitely enough. I felt like I was playing the odds by hunting closer to the home of that buck rather than randomly bouncing around. There are times, outside the rut, when it is much easier to pattern bucks. During the early and late season, it is certainly possible to narrow down the patterns to the actual trails the deer are using, because at these times careful use of the cameras can put you in the right tree rather than just the right area; as a result, you can afford to put more stock in what the photos tell you when the bucks are staying at home. I know many bowhunters who run their cameras all summer. Sure, that is fun and you get to look at many nice velvet deer, but many of those deer will move to a new range once the bachelor groups break up and the food sources change. Summer photos are much less valuable than photos you get after the bucks shed their velvet, break up and settle into their fall ranges. As a last word of caution, I don't like to educate and alarm deer just to get their pictures. So I am reluctant to run a lot of cameras, and especially reluctant to go deep into the timber. I try to set my cameras where I can drive right up to them. Where legal, consider a pile of corn to put the deer in front of the camera. Where this practice is not legal, set up near trails and field edges where you can catch the deer coming and going, where you have easy undetected access.

j8m8l - that's going to make one heckuva science fair project! I am still in school too - the modeling backgroud really helps! I plan on doing either actuators (my afther told me that was college level) carbon fiber composites (and demonstrating it my completely making a micro plane with a CF prop and wheels, etc) or, who knows? Maybe if I get really intersting, maybe I'll even follow David Dewit's footsteps! It would be incredible to have an IR system of my own, that could enable me to build ~.3oz indoor flyers.
David, I am almost 100% sure that there would be enough interest. I would buy one. My friend who is intersted in this stuff would buy one. A few folks reading this thread would buy one. What is that, anyway, a $500 profit already? AND, it will become popular ONLY if folks find out about it. You have to intruduce it to the world, and then folks will find out about it, buy it, build it, tell their friends, they'll find out about it..... the entire RCworld was only imagined and created by one person. There was ZERO interst. Only the guy himself (who I believe was [still is alive] John Worth, the guy who started Cloud 9, and writed an article every month for www.rcmicroflight.com Once he made it, only then did it become popular! Plus, what's the difficulty of making two or three kits, and seeing what happens. You don't need a website. You could do here in this forum. If you sell a lot, and see a future in it, then make a website and watch it grow! Heck - at least you might as well start a thread asking for the interest level and see how many folks reply! Just my little ideas. Just my 2 cents. -Michael P.S. Dewit, David!!! I really apologize - I had to say that. How is Dewit pronounced, anyway? Sorry! |

On the Max1595 which package?
I'm trying to make a parts list for the rx,the mini infrared transmitter and the pic programmer. Trying to get everything from Digikey. Apart from the LTC3200 what else will have to be ordered from a place other than digikey? I plan on building the tx without the joystick just 2 pots with a stick(rudder and ele) and add a 3rd pot for throttle with a rotary control like volume on walkman. The code will have to be modified and hopefully the 1684 has 4 analog inputs. Andy suggested a programmer. Which would be better Koichi's or the one here? http://www.jdm.homepage.dk/newpic.htm There is not much difference Which socket will fit the 1684 and is there a plugin socket that will fit the 12C509? I'm not up to speed on the SMT sizes and packages so a link to a primer on this and PCB layout would be appreciated if anyone knows of such. Billy |

EXCLUSIVE: Elton John backs Paddick's campaign for Mayor
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
We all look forward to seeing the expenses of this dinner/soiree appear on the electoral commission's website in due course!
So is it appropriate and proper to refer to David Furnish as Sir Elton's "boyfriend"?I know he doesn't have an official title, as a wife would, but certainly the fact that they have had a civil partnership should at the very least earn him the title "partner".If gay journalists don't even take these partnerships seriously enough to give them proper respect in their commentaries how can we expect non-gay people to take them seriously in our society?
Paddick haters emerge from the woodwork…
Zeke, you're right on that. The reason why is that its NOT marriage and not regarded as nothing more than legally recognised partnerships, much like a business partnership. In any case, we are banned from marrying. British Gays unlike their fellow brothers and sisters across the globe are the only ones who distinguish themselves by apparently not wanting marriage equality, they prefer to be segregated and to be looked at differently while enjoying many of the rights of "straight" marriage. Rather conflicted I think and to some degree, hypocritical. So be it, if that's what they want. You and I want something better.They have to ask themselves this question though, if civil partnerships are so equal, then why are straights banned from these legal unions especially if they opt not to marry? Why should both orientations be banned from the other's rights to form marriages or partnerships? The fact of the matter is, and they can rant and beat up on me as they wish, and quite frankly, I don't give a damn, is that they are and NEVER will be equal. Another thing, British Gays don't want to be equal to straights and they regard marriage as a straight institution anyway and not appropriate for Gay people. Odd that several other countries who had civil unions/partnerships long before anybody in the UK was remotely interested in equality, abolished them for real marriage. I wonder why? Another thing that irks me is that many Gay websites insist on using the word "marriage" in reference to civil partnered couples. What is that all about? Denial perhaps?
We should be aware the rampant homophobia within the nazi BNP. This is what Richard Barnbrook, the nazi BNP's mayoral candidate for London, says about homosexuality:"There is a close analogy here with homosexuality. No one knows what causes some individuals to do what the majority of any healthy society places on a scale somewhere between distasteful and abhorrent, but some individuals will behave in that way whatever the bulk of popular opinion … [in] the present circumstances where such "alternative lifestyle choices" are presented as valid – even superior – by the most powerful behavioural modification programme in human history".(http://journals.democraticunderground.com/top10/244)This is what Nick Griffin, the leader of the nazi BNP, said about the anti-gay Admiral Duncan bombing:"TV footage of …gay demonstrators flaunting their perversion in front of journalists showed why so many ordinary people find these creatures so repulsive".(Spearhead [BNP magazine], June 1999)Griffin and the nazi BNP have also denounced homosexuality as "form of behavioural deviancy" and "not a valid lifestyle choice". He claims the BNP speaks for "the majority of the population" who, he says, believe "homosexuality is wrong" and that it "needs to be pushed humanely but firmly back into the closet". Griffin warns that if gays continue to "press their aims further" there will be an "almighty backlash" which will result in the imprisonment of all homosexuals.('Putting the record straight', Nick Griffin, Identity [BNP magazine], December 2003).Nick Griffin has also stated that the nazi BNP wants to extend Clause 28 to encompass, for example, the media. This is what Nick Griffin said:"There's plenty of people making soap operas that present homosexuality as a wonderful lifestyle, which as a matter of fact it very often isn't. But plenty of people promoting it are heterosexual. So if you fined or even imprisoned a BBC filmmaker for breaching those laws, then it's not persecuting a homosexual necessarily, it's persecuting someone for breaking those laws".(http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,11913,783675,00.html)A BNP spokesman told the PinkNews.co.uk that homosexuality is a disease. This was the BNP spokesman said:"Some unfortunate people suffer from homosexuality so we will just have to tolerate them. If I was one I would be ashamed and would remain celibate".(http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-2658.html)

A 20-year-old Hawaiian Paradise Park man was sentenced on Friday to 25 years in prison for a brutal attack on a neighbor during an October 2011 home invasion.
In a deal with prosecutors, Seferin Tilipau pleaded guilty in January to charges of first-degree burglary, first-degree assault, first-degree robbery and unauthorized entry to a motor vehicle. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped a charge of second-degree attempted murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence upon conviction.
According to court records, Deputy Prosecutor Shannon Kagawa asked Hilo Circuit Judge Greg Nakamura for a 30-year-prison term, while Tilipau's attorney, Deputy Public Defender Melody Parker, requested that Tilipau be sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Tilipau forced his way into the home of then-69-year-old Mary Davy on Oct. 22, 2011, punched her in the face and stabbed her numerous times with a pair of the woman's gardening shears.
Tilipau, who is deaf, was assisted in court by two sign language interpreters, one for American Sign Language and another to translate to and from ASL in a sign language dialect understood by Tilipau.
The judge said during sentencing that Tilipau's conduct was so seriously dangerous as to warrant consecutive sentences on the assault and unauthorized entry to a motor vehicle charges for the purposes of punishment, deterrence and community protection.

It's interesting - I worked in the news industry for many years, largely considering news wire stories for publication on a newspaper website. With the growth of the internet as an information distribution system, it's becoming more and more apparent which papers depend heavily on wire content and which do a higher percentage of original content. Why should I go to my local newspaper's site, for example, if the content there is 99% the same as that on any other site, because it's all from the wire?
In addition, I know a lot of newspapers that are considering dropping news wire coverage all together. The AP, for example, really raised the prices they wanted to charge newspapers to use wire stories online, and as a declining industry, many newspapers simply can't afford it, especially when it doesn't add a great deal of additional value to the site. It's all becoming an unfortunate vicious circle.

Welcome to Quail Ridge Kennels Continued education on canine care, nutrition,disease prevention and genetics are an integral part of my operation. A selective, ethical breeding program produces healthy, happy, quality breed standard puppies. My kennel is inspected weekly by families in search of a new puppy and annually by a licensed Veterinarian and by the USDA. The fifteen adult dogs that live in our kennel receive individual hands on attention daily. My dogs are treated with respect combined with quality care and love. Assuring the present and future quality of life, safety, health and happiness of our adults and puppies is our first priority. Romps around the farm and the occasional dip in the pond are routine for the dogs. |
Climate controlled buildings, spacious 36' runs and toys for play keep our dogs healthy and happy. |
The Nursery was specially designed to provide comfort, safety and sanitation for our mothers and their babies. Cameras constantly monitor our nursery. Shorter 8' runs provide ample space for moms while caring for their babies. Whelping boxes lined with plush carpet keep moms and babies warm and cozy. Raised flooring in the nursery keep young active puppies clean and dry. Moms enjoy a little time away from the kids with regular "Mommy's Time Out" |
Inside housing is a 5' X 5' stall lined with smooth fiberglass for easy cleaning. Thick washable rubber mats provide comfortable bedding for our girls and guys. Quality feed combined with an endless supply of continuous clean fresh water is standard. Trent is quickly taking his Daddy place as the #1 Puppy Player. |
Cleaning, filling feeders, baths, micro-chipping and basic health checks are just a small part of the daily routine. |
Tasks include washing down outside runs, power washing inside housing, vaccinating our adults as well as our puppies and preparing the travel crates for puppies going home . |
