At this point I am making ends meet just barely with the little enterprise I do out of home. But DD is 14 months old and I need at least a few hours a week to get things done. Plus I don't want her going all week without seeing other kids while I am working. I start looking at daycares again - mostly through other mommies I have heard talk about them. Again - 6 more visits and the knot in my stomach. None of them seem happy or safe for DD in some way.
Then, a girlfriend who is married to my best friend calls to tell me her mother has 2 morning slots at her home daycare and would take dd. I know the woman and go over to visit -the place seemsgreat and no knots in my stomach! DD starts going 2 mornings a week. After two weeks I experience the front door of the place to be unlocked every time I go to drop or p/up dd.
This starts to concern me as a regular practice as it happens every time - so I call my friend to see what she thinks of my concern. I had recently read "Protecting the Gift" and went to the Sheriff's station to run the zip codes of my home and the daycare to find several registered sex offenders of young children living in both our areas. My friend said she totally agreed about the locking thing and would say something to the mom - so I did.
the woman yelled at me and said she'd been doing business this way the whole time and i was the only one who ever had this issue - and got really mad but in the end agreed to locking the door. Meanwhile my dd is loving her and loving it there - and I can see the woman really cares for dd.
So 2 weeks go by and I am happy. The door is always locked now when I come. Looks like I can finally relax!
Yesterday, I go to pick up dd. As I am parking I see a parent leave the house with her child. A minute later I go up and find the door unlocked, partially resting open actually. I go in to see an empty room with with a 2 year old sitting in front of the tv (not the usual thing at all!) I call out Hello? Hello? No - one - nothing. My heart goes into my throat. Where is dd?
I go to the back of the house and find dd in a high chair in the kitchen. Again I call out Hello? and I hear the assistant in the back room and she pokes her head out and I ask if the other lady is around and she says yes - but that's it? So I get DD out of chair to go and I ask casually about if she napped, etc. Asst says yeah - great - then I mention the whole front room/door scenario to which asst. says - Oh Mrs. so and so just left before you, etc. I hang around to change dd's diaper and hopefully get a glimpse of the woman of the place but she never comes out so we leave and my heart is way up in my throat of course wondering what if my DD had been in that front room and someone else came in and took her when no one was there?
I call my friend - the lady's daughter and she seems to agree with my concern again. I go aorund all day with the knots and call the lady in the evening. By this time she's heard it all from assist. and daughter and lays into me right off the bat. She goes in to an explanation of how the earlier parent had just left and why was I making issue of it etc etc - that she is so "f-ing" tired and doesn't need this etc. When I open my mouth to speak she says "What do you want?" and I try to tell her I am so happy that DD gets treated so well and is so happy there - but that I just want to know if she can atleast see my concern as a parent about the door being left open. And she says "NO!" - that I am not in control of my emotions and making something out of nothing and making a drama out of nothing and she doens't need it. So I say ok - good bye - figuring she just will not take responsibilty or even consider anything about the door.
So later I talk to the daughter and my friend who have now talked to the lady and now are saying I am making something out of nothing and need to give her the benefit of the doubt etc. They say if I take dd out I will be short changing her and spiting myself. They cannot see my view or understand it at all now. My friend tells me I need to call the woman in the morning and as a courtesy tell her what I am going to do. Of course I have already paid her for the week and I guess she keeps the money. Also I am assuming she will yell at me again. WE all agree that dd is happy there and the lady andshe really love each other. When I drop dd there she cracks a big smile when she sees the lady and it's all good.
But am I crazy? Am I making something out of nothing? I look at going back to caring for DD 24/7 andtrying to work and I can't take it. Icannot pay for a nanny two days a week.
Please just tell me what you would do - take her back there? Am I nuts and creating something out of nothing? Do I havea gut instinct on this or am I fabricating a drama??
Help! I have to call her in three hours...

Maybe you ought to call the state agency that has given her the license to have a daycare in her home. Maybe leaving the door unlocked is against the daycare rules that the state has established, especially since there are a few sex offenders living in her neighborhood.
Have you spoken w/ the lady since yesterday? Is she in better spirits? Maybe she had a really stressful day and today is a better time to sit down and express YOUR concerns to her w/o going through her duaghter. First make sure you tell her that you think she is an excellent daycare provider and both you and dd love her dearly. Give lots of comlipents. Then, tell her that because sex offenders live nearby that you are very concerned about the door being unlocked. Make sure she knows that you understand that she has been doing it for years when the neighborhood was safer (I'm just speculating about the safety issue) I think you may get a better response. GOod luck and please let me know how it turned out.
I am not a single mother, but I have several friends who are or have been. I have the greatest respect for you. You jsut hanging in there. Things will work out.
Jenni and Helon
now, can i tell you what i do to get shosh time with other kids and me some ALONE time? i use a "Children's Day Out" program through a church. they are sometimes called mothers day out, but it's the same deal. shosh goes 2 days a week, and she can go from 9-1, but i haven't done the full 4 hours yet. they group the kids by age. some places provide snacks, we bring our own which is fine with me. oh, and we pay $70 a month -- which is pretty good considering she'll be going about 8 times a month, up to 4 hours each time!
i would suggest calling some churches in your area and seeing if they can help you out. i don't know your religious affiliation, but at 14 months, it's not an issue since they don't start up with the religious programs until 3 or 4.
anyway, if it were my decision to make, i would not go back, nor would i call her. she hasn't been courteous to you so i don't think she deserves any in return. i would probably write her a letter though, because that way she can't curse in your face and you will get all your points out without being interrupted.
good luck.
I haven't read Protecting the Gift yet but I have read The Gift of Fear and the author's big message is trust your instincts. Your gut is telling you this is not a safe situation, and I think you should go with your gut.
Also it's completely unacceptable for this woman to yell and curse at you. She's being paid by you, and has no right to treat you rudely.
I know it's going to be tough but I think you need to find a new situation.
Good luck, mama.

I might look at church (if you go) and see if I could get to know a teen who may like to come over either after school or in the evening a few times a week and it would be much cheaper than a nanny. Would that work for you? That way you'd be home and your daughter would be looked after and if there was a situation, then you could handle it if needed! Again, just a thought...
The day care I take my son to, has a keypad on the door, you have to enter a code to get in, although there are lots of people in and out it seems really safe.
A new teacher, who had not seen me before (I normally drop my son off in the morning, dh picks him up after work) when I came to pick up ds, made me wait, while she called the director to check who I was......... it was kinda weird but the RIGHT thing to do - even though DS was yelling MOMMY MOMMY!!!
I have already complimented her endlessly and I explanied how much i have told her how great it is for DD. I hve gone out of my way to compliment her.
Keeping her there til I find another daycare? Isn't that puyting her in danger if the danger is there? I don't really understand thattactic.
I have to call ehr in an hour! Ugh! I don't know what to do...
Keep in mind that I know I live in a pretty rural area where it's not uncommon for folks to leave their vehicles unlocked (me me me!) and even front doors.
When we're home, the door is almost always unlocked. I believe that anyone who was bold enough to walk right in and take my child would probably do so with or without a lock on the door.
I also worry far less about registered sex offenders than the UNregistered, UNknown sex offenders. I think there are a LOT more of those. Now, I don't know how any of their brains function, but a sex offender usually offends someone they know...someone close that they can lure in. It's not as common for them to swoop down and snatch up someone they don't know, kwim?
SO...DD loves it there, the lady is good to her, and she obviously has a great reputation, right? Also...I know there have been times when my toddler was playing in the front room or sitting in the high chair and I stepped out of the room to go get something or pee or whatever.
All that aside, she swore at you. It'd be very hard to mend that relationship unless you can both forgive and forget. I'm all for the idea of finding a high school aged kid to help you out in the evenings. Our local Catholic high school requires a certain number of volunteer hours for graduation. Most of the girls prefer babysitting to anything else. Give that high school a call or post an ad at your church (if you have one). A public or private high school guidance counselor or principal might know of someone who would be great, too.
Good luck.
I would let it go about the door.
My kids are with the dc provider so much, it should feel as much our home to walk into as our own, kwim?
I'd be for a keypad, though. I think licensed providers are required by law to keep the door locked, though I prefer it's not.
That being said, I have a small home-based daycare and my front door is rarely locked when children are here. I feel that it is important for parents to feel as though they can stop by for "surprise visits" to check on their child at anytime during the day. I agree with the previous poster that a locked door isn't going to stop someone with evil intentions. Entry through a window would be just as easy (and yes, I do have the windows open as I write this- the fresh spring air is a delight after such a long winter). Of course, if I lived in a community that I did not think was so safe, I would reconsider.
To me, the bigger issue is that children should not be left unattended in the first place. Granted, there are times I have to quickly step out of the room- after all, sometimes I have to pee, a child may need help on the potty, or I may need to run into the other room to grab a towel to wipe up a spill-- you get the picture. But, I am never gone for more than a moment and even though the door is probably unlocked, I have bells hanging from the door that would alert me if it were to be opened- either by a parent coming in, a child attempting to dart out, etc.
Also, even if the two of you did not see eye to eye on a given issue, it was very unprofessional of her to yell and curse at you. It is absolutely unexcusable. Whereas I probably wouldn't take too much issue with the unlocked door (provided that the children are properly supervised) I would be greatly offended by her behavior and would probably not return my DD to her. That, however, is simply my personal opinion.
BTW, I also NEVER lock my car. Several years ago it was broken into and many possesions that I had in the trunk were stolen, but ironically, it WAS locked at the time. Go figure. Again, if I lived in a larger city, I'd then take the appropriate precautions...
I'm sure that you will make the best decision for both you and your DD.
The most important thing here is that, whether or not the daycare provider agrees with you about the locked door issue, you are paying her and she should HONOR your feelings and not criticize you. This woman is totally invalidating your feelings, and that is so inappropriate. You are not wrong, hysterical, or overly critical. It's not like you are criticizing this woman about her love life or what she eats--your concerns have to do with YOUR child, and that is your business and you have a right to be heard and respected.
I also think a daycare provider who yells at and SWEARS at a parent is mentally disturbed. What kind of language is she using around the children when you are not there? Your gut feeling is that something isn't right, and that's the truth!
I agree with the other poster about getting a teenage babysitter to come to your house. I would be very upfront with any potential babysitter/daycare provider in the future, and say, "I prefer this that and the other thing when you are watching my child. How do you feel about that?" And if the person argues with you or puts you down, then that is not the kind of person you need watching your child. And if you can have someone come to your house, you willl probably feel a lot safer because you can monitor things.
You can do it, mama! Stay strong.
Do you think you can find a highschool student to come to your home and watch your dd for you while you are there a few afternoons a week?? That might be the best way to still keep an eye on your dd, and get things done....
if she's caring for children, she has got to have insurance that will protect them, and she needs to be aware that not securing the entries to the house puts her at risk for lawsuits.
I hear you. And I live in the same city as you and I KNOW how hard it is to find a daycare provider that you don't have knots about... but at the same time....you are right about the door. IMO.
I think I would call her from a "solution" first position.
How can we make this work? Your daughter loves it t here. You feel she is safe there...except this one area.
Wouldn't it make sense for her...even if you weren't going there to at least have a policy of a LOCKED door.
Even if one of the children got out on their own...and god forbid something happened.... your provider would be in better position...legally if they had a LOCKED DOOR policy.
Even if she has had this daycare center for 20 years....it's not the same world anylonger.....
It might seem like semantics.... but given a choice of coming to her that "you are right and she is wrong... I t hink I would come from...this really needs to be fixed...not just for me..but really it makes sense, right" ....attittude....
I don't know if that is of any help.

I am never gone for more than a moment and even though the door is probably unlocked, I have bells hanging from the door that would alert me if it were to be opened |
Mama to a boy EnviroKid 9 years old and a new little girl EnviroBaby !
I write about parenting, environment, cooking, and more.
I don't have a problem with the unlocked door, but I do have a huge problem with the daycare provider saying to you, "I'm so f---ing tired" !!! As if being tired is a good reason to neglect safe care, or as if being tired is a good reason to swear at a client. If she's too tired to be a decent person, then she should make getting a little bit of rest her first priority. She's unhealthy and out of control.
So, what can you do besides send your precious DD back to this awful woman?
What has worked for me (admittedly, on a smaller scale) is a childcare exchange. I do some freelance work, and so does my friend. My friend has a daughter the same age as my DS. I watch both toddlers on Wednesday mornings, and she watches them both on Thursday mornings. I get my Thrs. a.m. to do my freelance work, and the children get to play together. The children love the arrangement, and so do the mamas, because it is free, reliable, and trustworthy.
Do you belong to an association of small business owners or working mamas or something like that? Maybe you can find a partner for a childcare exchange.
Good luck!
I think the others were right when they said to listen to your inner "mama" voice that tells you this is wrong. It sounds like it to me.
Good luck!
On another note, we did always have an open door policy so her front door was unlocked, but children didn't have access to it. She had a buzzer on her front door that went off whenever the door was opened( and if we heard it, we always checked to see who it was), also she had a child gate between where the children were and the door so no child had access to the door. So it is one thing to leave your front door unlocked, it is another to leave it unattended with children having access to it. I think you are justifed for your concern. Also no one doing childcare should ever belittle a parent for their concerns, that is a bad sign all on it's own. It is one thing to not agree with them or not be able to accomodate, but you never belittle the parent for having the concerns.
So I would definitely look for new arrangements.
trabot - thanks - your input means a lot because you know the territory. Really "iffy" women (and sometimes their husbands or older male kids lurking around) with sheets on the windows and dingy walls. I can't go there!
To those of you who really took issue with the woman being mean. I feel very confident that she treats DD like gold. When we get there in the morning, DD cracks a big smile when she sees her and the vibes between them are nice. DD trusts her, I can read it on the wall like a newspaper. Also, when I come pick her up, DD is happy, natural, not aprehensive, playing freely, and trusting in posture. I believe she is treated very special there.
the lady swearing at me - being short, mean - whatever. Dd's happiness means so much ot me that i am not willing to let my pride get in the way. I agree it's not professional and doesn't bode too well for this woman's understanding of my concerns. I do not like that she discounts every concern I have and shuts me up and doesn't listen. Her communication skills are in the gutter. But she communicates with DD. i know she does not speak ill to DD.
Anyway - I am still not entirely comfortable but we spoke this am on the phone. Her demeanor was totally different. I think her daughter called her after hearing how distressed I was and asked her to listen to me for a minute instead of just blasting the hell out of me. I told her DD wouldn't be coming today. I told her I knew fully how great DD had it there in terms of being treated well - she told me that she gives DD the same special attention she gives her grandson when he's there and I know it is true. I told her I just wanted to know that it was going to return to being the way it had been for the two weeks prior when I felt secure because they had started locking the door. She said to me this time "of course it will" in a tone I felt reassured by. She made a sideways comment about her behavior the prior evening that didn't really apologize but let me know she knew she'd burned me a new one and it may not have been right.
So I am going to sleep on it a few days. I don't have to decide until Tuesday... send me good jusdgement vibes please.
And so much for my "brief" reply. Ugh! I gotta go to bed!
Anyway, I hope everything works out. Good luck and try to get some rest.
I wouldn't be as upset about the unlocked door, but I would be very upset with the unsupervised children! Even when I have to leave DD to pee I am always within earshot. For no one to even respond when you yelled, "Hello?" is scary. What if that had been a child yelling, "Help!" instead?
But ultimately it doesn't matter what I, or any of the other moms would do... you need to do what YOU feel is right. Trust your instincts - they're there for a reason!!!
I can only echo what other moms said, that our instincts are there for a reason. There are other situations out there more acceptable than this. No matter how well she treats our child. This is negligence, pure and simple. Dont discount it.
I never ever locked my door and during the summer I never shut it. (We didn't have air conditioning). I was however always in view of the children. there was never a time where someone could walk in and take them without me at the very least hearing. If you can walk in, take your child and still have noone notice would totally send up red flags to me.
As for what you are to do now. I don't know if it would be best to continue with that care provider. if she is irritated with you then she might take it out on you dd. Also you should feel free to discuss things wit hher with out the fear of being verbally attacked. Maybe you coulkd get a highschool student to come in two or three days a week. Could you line it up with your dd nap. If she sle[t for approxamately 2 hours before the babysitter showed up for three that would be 5 hours of uninterupted time for not too much money (we paid our high school baby sitter about $4 for two children)
The truest answer to violence is love. The truest answer to death is life. The only prevention for violence is for the heart to have no violence within it. We cannot prevent evil through any system devised by mankind. But we can grapple with evil and defeat it, but only with love—real love.
I notice that the posters who tell about "open door policies" tend to live in rural areas (from what I can see from their locations). Not that there's no criminals there, but they definitely can't go around unnoticed. MOst unknown-offender kidnappings happen in cities. LA just isn't Sioux Falls.
If your dd was able to establish a wonderful relationship with this lady, she'll also be able to do it with someone else. I think you got some great ideas here to tide you both over till you find a permanent solution (or even make these options permanent solutions), like swapping care with another working mom, a highschool teenager, church groups...
I, personally, would put up a thread right here on mdc, to find out if I could set up a little "take turns off" scheme could be set up with a couple mamas in town That way, you could iron out important differences BEFORE even meeting each other ~ and you would very likely end up with like-minded mamas.
I also read the other thread on this. I'd definitely go with the instinct. Good luck, tell us what happens!
Not having read what the other women have written, here's my thoughts.
1) Having the door unlocked. Someone should be watching the children at all times, or at least knowing where they are in the house. I'd say gating off the front room with the front door would be appropriate. I would worry about a child wandering out, or a freak sneaking in. One more vote for having supervision of the kids! How about a motion sensor beep that let's them know when someone comes in and out of the house?
How many kids do this woman and her daughter watch? How many little ones? What's the legal ratio of children to caregivers in your city per social services? Who's responsibility was it to be watching that 2yo alone in a room by him/herself??? THAT's worrisome to me.
My other thought was that for fire safety reasons as a legal requirement, they might HAVE to have the doors unlocked???
2) Having the door locked. I'd worry about not having immediate access to my child. I'd always wonder what was going on behind closed doors. What they could be covering up, what they could be doing while I'm waiting outside locked out. Having the doors locked gives me the heebi-jeebies!
To me what was even scarier than the door unlocked (and that was REALLY scary) was the 2 year old alone. Never mind someone walking in but the 2 year old could have walked out, choked, there so many things that can just happen in an instant!
Remember she is taking care of your CHILD. How does she react when one of the children ask for something for the 100th time. I know how I feel, ready to go crazy. Do you thing she just yells at the kid saying "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I am sorry but if my caregiver reacted like that twice in such a short time I would be out of there. I would not have a comfort level that she didn't react like that to the children.
I say, as many other have, go with your gut. It will tell you more than anything else. Think about you and your child first. Yes it may be incovenient for you now but how will you feel if something really did happen? The one thing we all have going as parents is knowing that we are doing everthing possible to keep our children safe. If we stop doing that were are we when something does happen?
Good luck and I hope it all works out for you.
Pardon me while I

My USB port write-up
Problem: Not enough 12v outlets.
Solution: Consolidate any devices drawing power from a USB port to have its own port. What I used: 12v to USB adapter (See end of post for information on picking out an adapter) 22AWG Stranded wire or better Crimped Eyelet Add-A-Circuit Fuses (stock fuses didn't fit in AAC) Dremel, soldering iron, etc. Finding a fuse to tap into was easy. Since I have a Prerunner I could tap into the 4x4 circuit without affecting anything. http://www.fire-foo.com/img_links/tw...d/SANY0039.JPG Fuse choice: AACs have two fuse slots, one for the primary circuit you're tapping in to and one for the circuit you're adding. It isn't usually well documented which slot is which, so you will have to do a little figuring on you're part. (It is important that you don't use the wrong slots!) I would suggest that for this mod you try and use a 3A fuse for the USB charging circuit and use the standard fuse rated for the original circuit in the second slot of the AAC. Also note that the fuses that normally fit in the truck WILL NOT fit in the AAC. I gutted a 12v to USB car adapter so that I could fit it in one of the buttons below the radio. I was getting impatient as my dremel was low on charge so it's not as prefessional looking as I would have liked. http://www.fire-foo.com/img_links/tw...d/SANY0037.JPG Another picture showing the amount of wire used. The red crimp shown is where I connected the ground later. http://www.fire-foo.com/img_links/tw...d/SANY0034.JPG The most time consuming part was feeding the wire through the back of the dash. http://www.fire-foo.com/img_links/tw...d/SANY0040.JPG http://www.fire-foo.com/img_links/tw...d/SANY0041.JPG Once that wire was complete I went back and connected the ground to the radio mount. http://www.fire-foo.com/img_links/tw...d/SANY0042.JPG Then just push the button back in. http://www.fire-foo.com/img_links/tw...d/SANY0043.JPG http://www.fire-foo.com/img_links/tw...d/SANY0044.JPG The USB port is actually sitting flush unlike how it was in the earlier pictures. I could have taken it slower while fitting it and make it look more professional, but due to it's position you don't pay much attention to it. This mod works great if you have a mp3 player since it's right next to your Aux jack, but it could be placed anywhere. If you plan to use this with an Iphone or Ipod please take note of the following: Quote:
Found it at radioshack, but it would most likely by cheaper at either of those places.
good job!
we did something simmilar on my friends first gen. tapped in to a cig outlet and hid the usb in the center console |
Nice job man! Good writeup!
Nice i need something like this when can you come over?
Nice work! I need to get on that!
This is exactly what I have been wanting! I don't have much experience doing this kind of stuff though, did you have to solder the wire onto the USB adapter?
Also, how did you feed the wire behind the dash? Did you have to disassemble anything at all? I have a 2 port USB adapter that I would be completely willing to disassemble and put inside the dash if I could figure out how to get this done exactly... |
Modifying your 2 port USB adapter could prove tricky as I had just enough space in the spare switch to mount my one port, but I'm sure it could be done. |
This is a great idea and write up. Nice job!!
EETaco, thanks for the idea- great mod! I did change it up bit though to fit my needs. I used a double USB car adapter from Best Buy (19.99), I know a bit more expensive but I couldn't wait. More importantly I placed the "Mini Add-A-Circuit" in the #6 Slot (Door Lock System) so that the the USB ports would have constant power. Great for charging iPhones, Mp3 Players, etc when the truck is off!! I am a newbie so if someone knows of a reason I shouldn't do this I'm all ears. 2009 4x4 DBL CAB TRD OFF-ROAD
OK, so I have a question. Wouldn't this just provide an output voltage of 12V? I was looking at the 120v to usb plug and cable that comes with all iPhones, and it converts that wall current to an output of 5v. Someone unknowingly just taking a usb to ipod cable and plugging it up to this mod would possibly fry the device, right? The actual cables don't regulate or convert voltage.
The 12v USB adapter is what converts the 12v to 5v. This mod just simply hard-wires the adapter so that it is not taking up one of the accessory plugs. Unless you're using some non-certified adapter or something unknown, USB is spec'd to carry 5v.
Cool, thanks for the clarification. Great idea as I was wondering what useful item I could place in those blank switch covers.
That's a great idea! I have been thinking about what to do with thos blank switch plates; thanks for planting that seed in my mind! I also like the double USB port idea. I think I will use a separate dual port connector and solder it directly to the adapter board (instead of trying to mount the adapter bd. to the switch plate). I am going to do the 12V accessory plug mod (to make the 12V plugs always active), and then connect the USB adapter to the wires going to the 12V accessory plugs. 2 mods at once!
. Question: is there a 5VDC source on the electrical panel that can be tapped in to (trying to plant another seed here)? . |
Way too much work man. You hacked the hell out of that dummy button.
I got one of these: http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US...9235302_ra.jpg http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1218064404513 Mine is similar but even smaller and does not stick out. If I were to actually add a USB port, it would be directly into my HU. But, I've been too lazy and no tools here =[ |
I like it Viet, but as Frank stated, It would be nice to keep the 12V ACC plugs available. Besides, hacking is more fun. I plan to make mine a bit more presentable though.

Not really long ago, Bollywood and its viewers witnessed a never-seen-before kind of event in the Yashraj studios, Mumbai.
The cover looks really aristocratic with the whole set of winners each one giving a unique and polished posture. The first row showcases the three elegant ladies Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha and Farah Khan with their respective awards.
In the second row besides Madhuri, stands the one and only Badshaah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan and alongside him poses the ever-so-graceful Kajol Devgn. Next to Kajol is the 'pride of hindi film industry' Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, who looks yet so refreshing even after staying here for decades. Besides him is the South Indian Beauty, Vidya Balan.
Next to Vidya, is the 'latest' debutants of Bollywood, namely Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh, who made their spot visible among the other Veterans. Accompanying these two, are Karan Johar, Arbaaz Khan and Vikramaditya Motwane escorting the cozy look.
Ardent fans haven't even dropped those highly-paid off memories of their favorites winning the black lady; and now here it is, the brand new still-to-be-unveiled cover of the latest issue of India's most popular entertainment magazine'Filmfare, what else! Have a look'

Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
CALGARY, Alberta -- Ben Bishop is having a breakout season, Olympic nod or not.
The 6-foot-7 goalie made 19 saves in his fourth shutout Friday night, sending the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames.
Rookie forwards Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov scored for the Lightning, who have gone 7-1-1 in their past nine games to move within two points of first-place Boston in the Atlantic Division.
Bishop has earned points in 10 straight games (8-0-2) and is 22-5-2 this season. He is tied with Boston's Tuukka Rask for the NHL lead in shutouts and is one back of Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury for the most wins.
"That might have been one of our best games of the year from start to finish," Bishop said. "Seemed like we had the puck most of the game. The big thing tonight is we never took our foot off the gas. We played a full 60 minutes."
Bishop, who has seven shutouts in 76 career games, shrugged off any disappointment about not being named to the U.S. Olympic team Wednesday.
"I just want to go out there and play my game. I thought the guys did a great job in front of me, made it easy on me," he said.
Lightning coach Jon Cooper complimented Bishop for how he's handled the situation after the three goalies selected by USA Hockey for the Sochi Games next month were Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick, Buffalo's Ryan Miller and Detroit's Jimmy Howard.
Bishop has the NHL's top save percentage at .936 and ranks third with a 1.83 goals-against average.
"I understand the decision USA Hockey made, I completely do. They went with some experienced guys that had proven track records," Cooper said. "I'm really happy with the way he's responded. I'm sure a lot of guys would hang their head and say, 'Poor me,' and all he's done is elevate his game. It's a testament to his character."
Calgary ended its five-game homestand with four straight losses in regulation. Since the Christmas break, the Flames have one goal -- by rookie Sean Monahan -- in the past 245 minutes, 5 seconds.
The Flames got defenseman Dennis Wideman back after he missed 16 games with a broken hand. But even with his presence on the power play, Calgary went 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
"We're not good enough. We've got to find a way to generate more," captain Mark Giordano said. "Every mistake right now is magnified because we're not scoring goals. We're wasting pretty good efforts from our goaltenders."
Both goals in the second period came less than 10 seconds after minor penalties to veteran Calgary forward Mike Cammalleri had expired.
Shortly after Cammalleri returned from an interference call, a penalty he took while the Flames were on the man advantage, Teddy Purcell found Palat open in the slot and he sent a quick wrist shot into the top corner past Karri Ramo at 5:23.
Almost 5 minutes later, this time after Cammalleri returned from a penalty for closing his hand on the puck, the Lightning struck again. Kucherov scored with a wrist shot off a setup from Palat, who extended his point streak to five games (two goals, four assists).
Perhaps the most dangerous early chance Bishop faced came in the first period when Mikael Backlund was hooked down on a partial breakaway by Eric Brewer.
The Flames were unable to generate much on the resulting power play.
Making his first start in five games, Ramo was excellent. Playing against the team that drafted him in 2006, Ramo was perfect on 13 shots in the first period, keeping Calgary in the game.
He made 27 saves in all and fell to 6-7-3.
Ramo was especially sharp in the third period, too. As the Flames pressed to get back into the game, the Lightning were able to counter with some dangerous chances, including three breakaways that were stopped.
"It's extremely frustrating," Flames wing Lee Stempniak said. "We definitely feel like we're letting the goaltenders down. They've played great. Every game, they've kept us in it and given us a chance. It's definitely a disappointing feeling for the 18 skaters out there letting them down."
Game notes
Tampa Bay is 13-7-4 since center Steven Stamkos (broken leg) has been out of the lineup. Stamkos is back skating with full equipment now and is nearing a return. ... Calgary LW Lance Bouma (ill) did not dress. ... The Lightning improved to 16-1-1 when they score first. ... The Flames have just two wins in regulation in their past 30 games. They've won seven games in overtime or a shootout during that stretch. ... Cammalleri was a minus-2 to fall to minus-21 on the season, which is second-to-last in the NHL ahead of only Edmonton's Nail Yakupov (minus-25).

More often than not, our area's musicals are graced by terrific voices. But every once in a while, a performer will come along whose vocal gifts and interpretive skills positively knock you out, causing you to silently mouth one word at your theatergoing companion: "Damn." The Quad City Music Guild's current production of the Disney musical Aida, directed by Bill Marsoun, doesn't have one of those performers. It has two.

A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Rock Island Masonic Temple
Theatre audiences are often witness to romance and, with the right director and performers, occasionally even to true love on stage. Yet it's rare to find passion and even rarer to witness carnality, two qualities that the Prenzie Players present in abundance in their juicy new production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Rock Island Masonic Temple.

Chiefs v Sharks - Live
80 PENALTY, CHIEFS, CRUDEN! 37-29. Cruden adds the three-pointer which means the Sharks are denied a deserved second bonus point for losing by less than seven points! This after Frans Steyn inexplicably plays the ball on the ground at a ruck. Cruden's kick is the final act of the half as the referee blows his whistle shortly afterwards to bring proceedings to a close. Both sides deserve credit for making this game the entertaining spectacle that it was. Although the Chiefs held the lead throughout, the Sharks can hold their heads high as they never surrendered and gave their all for the entire game.
79 PENALTY, SHARKS, LAMBIE1 34-29. Lambie narrows the gap to five points after the Chiefs are pinned for being offside.
78 Cobus Reinach intercepts a pass from Messam at a scrum and sets off on a 45 metre run towards the Chiefs' try-line. He is hauled in from behind, inside the home side's 22, by Tim Nanai-Williams!
75 The Sharks launch another attack inside the Chiefs' half. They're chasing the game now but once again commit a handling error at the critical moment. This time it's Anton Bresler who knocks on!
73 The Sharks take the ball through several phases inside the Chiefs' 22 but the home side's defence holds firm. The Sharks eventually lose possession when Viljoen knocks on at a ruck.

67 The Chiefs try to launch another attack into the Sharks' 22 but Craig Clarke knocks on at the critical moment.
64 Meyer Bosman runs onto a long pass from Lambie but is bundled into touch by Masaga!
61 CONVERSION, SHARKS, LAMBIE! 34-26. Lambie adds another two-pointer and the Sharks are still in this game!
60 TRY, SHARKS, DANIEL! 34-24. Wiehan Herbst sells two defenders an outrageous dummy before sending a long pass to Keegan Daniel, who gets in for the Sharks' fourth try!
59 Cruden spots the Sharks' defence lying flat and puts in a 35-metre clearance kick which rolls into touch on the Sharks' 22-metre line.
57 The Sharks put huge pressure on the Chiefs at a scrum inside the home side's 22. Nick Crosswell does well, despsite all the pressure, at the base of the scrum and when he goes to ground Pulu clears his line with a kick into touch.
54 PENALTY, CHIEFS, ANSCOMBE! 34-19. Anscombe steps up and adds the extra three-pointer after the Sharks' backs are penalised for being offside.
51 Lambie launches an up-and-under which Masaga gathers in mid-air despite the attentions of three defenders!

47 TRY, CHIEFS, NANAI-WILLIAMS! 29-19. Cruden puts through a grubber kick which Piet Lindeque fails to deal with. The left wing knocks on and Nana-Williams dives onto the ball behind the Sharks' try-line to secure his side's fourth try!
45 Frans Steyn manages to put pressure on Augustine Pulu at a ruck, inside the Sharks' 22, and the Chiefs' number nine knocks on. Advantage Sharks!

41 Aaron Cruden gets the second half underway with a deep kick which Jean Deysel gathers. He sets up a ruck just outside his 22.
40 The sharks set up a ruck inside their 22 and Lambie kickd the ball out 10 metres from the quarter line. The hooter sounds to signal half-time and the teams head into the sheds. What an entertaining half that's been! The Chiefs started like a house on fire but the Sharks have doused the flames and are right back in this match! We'll return in 10 minutes with the second half!
39 CONVERSION, SHARKS, LAMBIE! 24-19. Lambie narrows the gap to five points when he adds the extras!
38 TRY, SHARKS, MINNIE! 24-17. The Sharks launch another drive from a line-out and once again Minnie gets in for the five-pointer!
37 Viljoen launches an up-and-under which Anscombe collects. He goes to ground and is pinned for holding onto the ball on the ground. Lambie puts the ball out on the Chiefs' five-metre-line.
35 Riaan Viljoen kicks for touch, from inside his 22, but his effort slices off his boot. Aaron Cruden is under the high ball but Viljoen gains a reprieve when the Chiefs fly-half knocks on!
33 TRY, SHARKS, MTEMBU! 24-12. Lubabalo Mtembu picks up at the base of a scrum and passes to Mcleod who offloads to Lambie. The Sharks pivot is tackled just short of the line but manages to free his hands and gets a pass away to the on-rushing Mtembu who scores his first Super Rugby try!
32 Brodie Retallick is penalised for not rolling away after making a tackle inside his 22. Sharks skipper Jean Deysel opts to take a scrum.
30 The Chiefs are on the attack inside the Sharks' half and Ben Tameifuna carries strongly. He goes down under a challenge from Minnie and then Augustine Pulu knocks on when he tries to play the ball at the ruck.
27 McLeod sets off on a 40-metre run from inside his 22 and shows Messam a clean pair of heels! He offloads to Ndungane but Tikoirotuma does well to haul him in from behind!
25 Tikoirotuma runs onto an inside pass from Aaron Cruden and only a great tackle from Charl McLeod prevents him from getting his second five-pointer!
23 CONVERSION, SHARKS, LAMBIE! 24-7. Lambie slots a difficult spot-kick from close to the touchline!
22 TRY, SHARKS, MINNIE! 24-5. The Sharks get their maul going off a line-out, close to the Chiefs' try-line, and Derick Minnie crashes over under a mass of bodies!
19 The Sharks try to attack with a driving maul at a line-out, but lose possession when Nick Crosswell manages to hold up Derick Minnie when the maul becomes static. Nothing's going right for the visitors at the moment!
17 CONVERSION, CHIEFS, ANSCOMBE! 24-0. Anscombe adds the extra two points and the hosts have a huge buffer now!
16 TRY, CHIEFS, NANAI-WILLIAMS! 22-0. Tim Nanai-Williams pounces on a loose pass from Pieter-Steph du Toit to Ndungane and sets off on a 55-metre run before dotting down!
13 CONVERSION, CHIEFS, ANSCOMBE! 17-0. Anscombe adds the two-pointer and the Sharks seem shell-shocked by this fine start from the Chiefs!
12 TRY, CHIEFS, AKI! 15-0. Liam Messam powers his way through three tackles before offloading to Bundee Aki who gets in for his side's second try!
10 CONVERSION, CHIEFS, ANSCOMBE! 10-0. Anscombe adds the extras to extend the hosts' lead!
9 TRY, CHIEFS, TIKOIROTUMA! 8-0. Asaeli Tikoirotuma runs onto a pass from Liam Messam, at the back of a line-out, and slices through the Sharks defence before scoring under the posts!
7 PENALTY, CHIEFS, ANSCOMBE! 3-0. Anscombe opens the scoring, from the kicking tee, after the Sharks are pinned for being offside.
6 Bundee Aki does brilliantly, with a beautifully-weighted pass which puts Lelia Masaga into space! He sets off on a 35-metre run and it takes a desperate tackle from Odwa Ndungane to halt his progress!
4 Lambie gets a chance to open the scoring, from the kicking tee, after Tanerau Latimer is penalised for obstruction. The Sharks' pivot's effort is just wide of the uprights, however.
2 Lambie throws a long pass to Jannie du Plessis who is smashed backwards by a huge hit from Mo Schwalger!
Kick-off Pat Lambie gets the game underway! His kick is gathered by Aaron Cruden, who offloads to Gareth Anscombe. The full-back kicks for touch and puts the ball out close to the halfway mark.
Team news The Chiefs have made a late change to their run-on side. Richard Kahui has withdrawn with a hamstring injury and is replaced by Bundee Aki.
Team news Chiefs coach Dave Rennie has made a host of changes to his side, which sees a total of nine new players in his starting line-up. Prop Michael Kainga gets his first start of the year in the front row with Toby Smith. Hooker Mahonri Schwalger gets his second start of the season having returned from a knee injury and is joined by lock Craig Clarke who is back in action after a lengthy period on the sidelines. Nick Crosswell starts at number eight after Fritz Lee was ruled out with a broken finger, while openside flanker Tanerau Latimer benefits from Sam Cane's surprise demotion to the bench. In the backs, Augustine Pulu gets the nod at scrum-half in place of Brendon Leonard. Richard Kahui starts at inside centre alongside Tim Nanai-Williams and Gareth Anscombe is back at full-back.
Team news Sharks boss John Plumtree has named a starting XV decimated by injuries for this encounter. Missing are the likes of Paul Jordaan, Bismarck du Plessis, Tendai Mtawarira, Jacques Botes, Lwazi Mvovo and Louis Ludik. Regular skipper Keegan Daniel has been dropped which means Jean Deysel takes over the captaincy. Lubabalo Mtembu starts at number eight and Lions stalwart Derick Minnie has been drafted into the Sharks set-up and will play on the flank alongside Deysel. Francois Steyn starts at outside centre while Charl McLeod and Piet Lindeque get a run at number nine and on the left wing respectively. Craig Burden is back at hooker and packs down alongside Jannie du Plessis and Wiehahn Herbst while Kyle Cooper, Franco van der Merwe, Daniel, Marcell Coetzee and Cobus Reinach must make do with bench spots.
Welcome Hello and welcome to the Waikato Stadium in Hamilton for this Super Rugby hit out between the tournament's defending champions, the Chiefs, and last year's runners-up, the Sharks. Yes folks, it's a repeat of the 2012 final! That means that the visitors are out for revenge which sets the stage for what promises to be an entertaining duel. So don't go away! We'll return shortly with team news.

Espanyol have dismissed reports suggesting that Steve Finnan could be set to leave the club in January.
Tottenham and Arsenal have both been linked with the experienced right-back, who only joined Espanyol from Liverpool during the summer.
They are reported to be interested in taking Finnan on loan, but Espanyol have no plans to let him go.
Finnan has struggled with injuries since his arrival in Spain but coach Mane regards him as an important member of his squad.
"I am convinced that Finnan will be decisive in our defence," Mane said in the Spanish press.
Sport director Paco Herrera added: "Finnan stays in Espanyol because he is a main man for the second part of the season."

Homeopathic Blues
One of the things that scares me as a skeptic is the possibility of someone I care for, someone close to me, falling victim to some quack alternative medical scam because they weren't thinking critically at the time.
Alternative medicine?
Alternative to what, medicine that's based on genuine evidence?
For one thing, it's inventing a false dichotomy of alternative vs. science-based medicine, since if the majority of alleged alternative treatments actually worked, and could be shown to work in properly controlled studies, they wouldn't BE alternative.
They'd be, well, medicine, and that would be it. Some of them are, despite being hijacked by Alt med advocates as their own.
Those claimed alternatives that really do work, and I mean better than placebos do, better than sugar pills, have been shown to work and are currently being used as part of regular medical practice.
But it's not the alternative treatments that have some small efficacy that bother me, it's the treatments that have no real support from reasonably-conducted studies, many of which are based on debased magical ideas with no scientific plausibility to begin with, much less being not even being supported by the data.
It's no surprise that those who practice such implausible modalities shun the use of controlled and blinded experiments because those things rather inconveniently 'don't work for them.'
I wonder why….? *crickets chirping*
There is a spectrum of efficacy for differing medical modalities, all the way from the completely worthless, implausible treatments to those well-supported by medical research.
The more implausible treatments have either not been shown to work under reasonable test conditions or have been shown not to work under those same conditions.
I have yet to see someone suffer from even frequently repeated overdoses of entire bottles of, say, homeopathic sleeping pills much less just doze off into la-la land, despite the recent spate of skeptics overdosing all over the world, to no effect, not even a yawn.
What's kept me from doing it is the fact that the local pharmacies I've been to so far have more integrity in the stock they carry than I've anticipated. Damn. Well, maybe I should be pleased – bully for them.
I'm afraid the only thing homeopathy will ever cure is your thirst, and to paraphrase comedian Dara O Briain, while you can't overdose on it, you can f**king drown from it. After all, it's just water.
By the way, my diabolical Big Pharma paymasters have just emailed me to inform me of the payment in my sooper sekret Swiss bank account for writing this post. Baaah!
Posted on Sunday, 7:50, February 27, 2011, in Medicine and tagged Homeopathy, Humor, Ramblings, Sarcasm, Silliness, Snark. Bookmark the permalink. 8 Comments.
Really great post. Thankyou, I'll be e-mailing it to some woo-minded friends, who see me as nothing more than a "closed-minded skeptical Science Teacher and geek". Ohhh the irony…Actually, I think it *is* the irony that drives me quite insane, that and the frustration, that despite being a teacher (and used to being listened to), I can't get people to take me seriously. I've even been told "Oh, you're so skeptical!" (meant in a bad way)!
well the question i always had was why anyone would need to buy a second dose of a homeopathic product rather when they could simply continue to dilute the first … continue this thought process and you get an idea of what a sweet deal this particular approach to medicine must be for the practitioner only ever having to continue to dilute ingredients and you might very well come to the conclusion that the practice is, needless to say, completely fraudulent … largely taking advantage of the placebo effect in my option … and yes it can be harmful though it is undoubtedly the benign form alternative medicine in my opinion due the simple fact that the extreme dilution makes it unlikely to produce toxic side effects or interfere with legitimate treatments … also, while it can be harmful, it's certainly no where near as harmful as something like smoking … again just my opinion

Top Picks: 'Downton' returns, a celebration of the funny women of the small screen, and more
Writer Gretchen Rubin studies how to be 'Happier At Home,' National Geographic ranks the best trips to take in the coming year, and more.
Making them laugh
Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Betty White, Mary Tyler Moore, Marla Gibbs, Joan Rivers, and more – these are the Funny Ladies of the small screen that PBS profiles in "Pioneers of Television." Some, such as Ms. Moore and Ms. Burnett and even Ms. Rivers, initially saw themselves as serious actresses. But producers (Carl Reiner, for instance) saw them differently, and collectively these women helped write the history of early TV. Tune in Jan. 15 at 8 p.m. to see how these women influenced later performers such as Phyllis Diller.
Downton mania
If you are not one of the fans who are already dotty over Downton Abbey – and you know who you are – now is the time to jump on board. The sudsy period drama set sail for its third season on PBS in the United States on Jan. 6. If you are still running to catch up, you can either drop the dollars for a DVD combo pack of the first and second seasons or head over to YouTube and watch a five-minute recap of the first two seasons at http://bit.ly/DowntonRecap. And if you want to race ahead, the complete third season will be available on DVD and Blu-ray Jan. 29.
Home and happy

Duke of Gloucester Honors Men and Women of the Royal Air Force
The Duke of Gloucester paid a visit to the RAF Oldham recently, where he honored several members of the Royal Air Force with medals, commendations, and awards for length of service. The Duke serves as the Honorary Commodore for the RAF station, and is known for his commitment to honoring the men and women of the British military.
According to an article from This Is Hampshire, the Duke said to the honorees that, "Your role is absolutely vital for so many of the tasks that the British forces are carrying out". The Duke presented medals and commendations in twelve different categories. Among the award winners was Flight Sergeant Lee Renard, of the 27th Squadron, who airlifted six injured civilians in a Chinook after they had been caught up in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan in 2008. One of the civilians died on the way to the hospital, but five other lives were saved because of his actions.
After giving out the awards, the Duke watched as a RAF display team performed stunts in a Chinook helicopter. He also helped to plant a cherry tree at the helicopter support memorial in honor of Armed Services Day.

In doing so, the big southpaw topped out at just 91.7 mph on his fastball (according to Brooks Baseball) and relied heavily on his changeup to get outs. However, he told Mark Feinsend of the New York Daily News that he's not concerned about the radar gun right now.

I keep getting email info from them telling what they are doing to preserve our rights and the spokesman, Dudley Brown was supposedly at the SHOT show. Anyway, they ask for money for what seems to be good issues, but I never heard of them. I belong to the NRA, the 2nd Amendment Foundation, and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. I know who they are and what they are doing. I hate to short change a good organization, but I worry about obama and his tricks. What if this group it talking big, and taking names, not to mention money? Anyway, if any of you ever heard of this group let me know, OK. Thanks. Dave

I can't say I've heard of them either. And anyone can make a web page. Anyone have any first hand info on them?

Thanks for the replys. The organization is not registered in Washington or anywhere as a lobbyist organization or a (501)3c or anything else that I can find. If you find any more about them pleas post it. Thanks. Dave
I received emails from them and ole Dudley seems to be a bit on the radical side of the discussions on the 2nd Amendment. After a few of these radical emails, I put all email from them on my "Ignore" list and they're now deleted as soon as they arrive. I may just not sign on to that email account any more. It will be canceled if I don't log on once every 3 weeks anyway. I only used it once when I registered for a bulletin board I no longer post on. I don't trust this group. Just a feeling on my part...
Thanks AcidFlash, I got the same feeling. Generally, the groups that are working hard like the 2nd Amendment Asso put out what they are doing and they are being harassed by some anti-gun group. Dudley seems to be taking credit for other organizations work. Dave

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 4,169 Views**Edit:Thanks for the frontpage and daily award**
**And i know how much this animation is similar to some animes and I've been explaining since the 2nd episode. This series is never about originality in the first place.
I will be working on alot more original stuffs in the future so just keep a lookout. :) **
Superhero Slayers Reel 4
In this episode the focus is back on the Fantastic Four and the X-men.
The Superheroes will continue their battle against the unknown enemies.
This episode is kind of a continuation of the previous episode, which is too long so i cut them off and put it as an individual episode, Hence the short length and the fast pace.
It took me really long, mostly because of school and outside work. I'm so glad its now finally completed.
Although it is another build-up episode, but it is shorter and more compact than the previous one.
And sorry for the lack of plot progress, the lack of originality and change of style, since this project started out for me to practice my animation skills and technique, the style is therefore visibly different in each episode.
Thanks all the VAs for lending their voices.
Thanks D-mac and Shard for working with me on this project again.
I'll probably be working on more original projects from now on, so I'm really not sure how will the future of this series goes.
Hope you enjoy watching!
I'm really surprised on how much everything improved.
From animation to the choice of background music.
What I'm really impressed about is the voice acting. Clear, crisp, and very good.
This includes the different camera angles. I loved every single of it.
The story/plot goes smoothly and is really interesting.
But the camera shaking effect sometimes seems unnatural.
even though this looks more like a movie trailer...
I'm not complaining. I'm looking forward for the next episode!
keep it up
awesome enough
its awesome worth the front page but you need to work at the arm to head ratio the heads kinda big
I have to say! Honestly
I am extremely impressed with the effort and work you have put into this! :D I was at the edge of my seat! This series is getting better and everyone played their roles absolutely perfectly. (I am especially impressed with ShockDingo who played the Thing)
The animation was solid as to be expected and I really like the character designs. :D
Be sure to keep up the fantastic job.
I was hoping this episode would be a little longer though, but that's only a small problem.
Great job to all of you, (Deven, Kira, Lioncourt and all those involved). I will definitely be checking into the next episode.
5/5 - Shadow Dinosaur Rates this Flash Movie - :D
Wow the was awesome!
5/5 10/10
really great. action series are rare here on newgrounds and its nice to see one thats really good
the sound effets and the music worked really well
and the drawings arent the best, but i like them and i dont blame you, drawing that many characters you might wanan keep it simple. but the hulk was really well done! i can only imagine the time and effort put into this and it really shows. i cants wait for the next one and i'l be sure to check out 1-3 great job
Puts me in Suspense.
Very interesting and somewhat original animation.
That purple hair dude pulling some naruto shit was tight.
The fights was a bit epic, and your showing improvement each flash you work on.
Story/Plot was good and all settled in.
Characters were cool (good and bad guys)
It still need some improvements like the mouth movements (as everyone is stating) Although I look forward in seeing Superhero Slayers 5.
Great work 4/5 and 9/10.

Cramer Quick Take: Cheap iPhone Not the Solution
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Is Apple (AAPL - Get Report) stock cursed? Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com Wednesday he thinks it is.
Cramer said Apple is simply over-owned by investors who are still expecting the stock to grow by 30% to 40% a year. That's simply not going to happen, noted Cramer, which is why the stock continues to flounder.
So is a cheaper iPhone the answer? Cramer said a low-end phone certainly helps in China and in other emerging markets around the world, but it will not be the killer product that reignites Apple's stock price.
He said Apple is making more of an attempt to be all things to all people, so if another iPhone helps bring people into the Apple ecosystem, he's on board with the decision. Cramer currently owns Apple for his charitable trust,Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This deck is pure class. It has everything; pop, strength, style and durability. It feels sturdy underfoot, so when you land a trick down a gap or down a ledge or set, it feels secure, and not as if it'll break unlike some others. It has a slight concave, but even though I'm really flat footed, its hardly noticeable, so flip tricks are made easier and when you go to flip into a trick and then grind, the grip tape isn't directly on the floor, therefore isn't wrecked. The graphic is standard zoo york, and in my opinion goes well with gold trucks and black or white wheels. I love it. Would definately recommend if you are unsure to buy it or not, worth every penny. Doesnt chip easily, and follows zoo yorks motto 'unbreakable' perfectly. 10/10 for sure!

Tips for Shedding? I know the weather is changing, but our 8 month old golden is shedding like crazy! I even found hair in the fridge this week. I'm diligent about brushing him a lot. I even bought a furminator brush to help and I'm getting a chihuahua's worth of hair off our boy daily! My daughter always says, we could make a chihuahua out of that hair. Any tips? This is our second golden so I'm familiar with shedding. I've never had a dog that didn't shed but never had one that shed this much. Thanks! |

No getting around it, my house is decorated in Early American Fur. Actually I've had Goldens that shed really bad but none as bad as Ky sheds. Tip: Routinely clean the vent under and behind your fridge, if you don't the fur will clog it and burn out the motors. I speak from experience
__________________ On particularly rough days when Im sure I cant possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100%, & thats pretty good |

Ha! I thought we were the only ones who decorated in this manner. |

I can vacuum and I don't even get to put the machine away before the hair is blowing across the hard floors. I have a Dyson animal and it works great but 2 goldens are more than a match for it or the Hoover upstairs I just accept that hair all over is a fact of life.

Whoa wait a minute , these dogs shed , no one told me that , great now what am I going to do???!!! kidding :-p haven't got to that stage yet, then again she has only been home for a week , yikes Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

Surrender. You will get used to it or make yourself crazy by fighting it. The more you brush the more is disturb and the more will fly out. Living with these golden threads is a small sacrifice for all the love and joy that these special beings bring into our lives. |

Granted, many of the problems seem to be due to users that just don't have sufficient experience but try it anyway (due to the fact it's mentioned in the book as an LFS-specific package management method), but I think that, even taking that into account, it's really more trouble than it's worth.

UPnp in Qt
I'm looking for information about how to map a port (UPnp or Nat-PMP).
I use to help some friends through Remote desktop, and many of them, have routers but the don't konk how to open a port or they don't know the user & password of their router, and let a opened port is not the safe, so othe other day I started looking for the way to do a simple Upnp program just enable/disable a single port (TCP ).
I googled a lot but I couldn't find a working example, and I'm just starting Qt, I'm Lost, don't known where or but to find info about it.
i need the info about how to do this for Linux(ubuntu) or/& Windows

Don't know if it would help you, but take a look at HUPnp [herqq.org] – it uses Qt.
