Teen writer pens imaginative, adventurous debut
January 7, 2014
Most 12-year-olds spend their summer vacations riding their bike, swimming and trying not to think about school, but Sammamish resident Jacqueline O'Hara sat with her computer and wrote.
During her 2012 summer break, O'Hara authored several small stories, which she began piecing together into a bigger novel. Eighteen months later, the results are available for everyone to read. Tate Publishing picked up O'Hara's story, "When Circles End," and released it Dec. 31.
"It was just kind of a way to stay ready for school when summer ended," the now 14-year-old O'Hara said of writing the novel.
Pine Lake student lauded for handling bus emergency
July 2, 2013
On the afternoon of June 11, Pine Lake Middle School student Ernie Yang nearly caught a ride a home with his mother, but his decision to ride the school bus turned out to be an important one.
Yang, 14, was on his way back to his Sammamish home with bus driver Adrienne Gelfer, whom he'd been riding with for three years. Gelfer made three stops, and most of the 70 students she typically carries got off.
Then Gelfer began coughing, and she couldn't stop. The bus sat alongside the road at a regular stop, which may have caused the dozen or so children aboard to believe nothing was wrong.
Pine Lake Middle School Geography Bee tests young minds
January 22, 2013
What Chinese river does the Three Gorges Dam span? The city of Baltimore is next to what large bay? In what city is the Suleymaniye Mosque, which was built to honor the 16th century Ottoman ruler?
Organizations donate $17,000 to students
January 1, 2013
Students at Pine Lake Middle and Cougar Ridge Elementary schools got an early Christmas present Dec. 12, when the Issaquah School Board approved more than $17,000 in donations from the schools' PTSA groups.
The Pine Lake PTSA gave $12,000 to support various teacher grants at the middle school.
The $5,350 from the Cougar Ridge PTSA will help make it easier for families to pay camp fees for students attending Camp Warm Beach, an environmental camp that fifth-graders attend every fall.
Student musicians rank among top performers statewide
December 4, 2012
Dozens of local students are among the state's top performers that have been chosen to participate in one of the Washington Music Educators Association's 2013 All-State Honor or one of the National Association for Music Education's All-Northwest performing groups.
The group of school musicians from throughout the state and region will rehearse and perform in concert under the direction of world-renowned conductors. The All-State high school honor groups and the All-Northwest groups will meet in Portland, Ore., Feb. 14-17. Junior All-State groups, grades five through eight, will meet in Vancouver, Wash., on Feb. 16.
This year's group includes students from all five of the district's middle schools and all three of the district's traditional high schools.
Students choose Barack Obama, Jay Inslee in mock election
November 27, 2012
Students statewide and in the Issaquah School District chose the same candidates as grown-up voters — Barack Obama for president and Jay Inslee for governor.
The exercise included 38,848 students statewide, including classes at Cascade Ridge Elementary, Endeavour Elementary, Sunset Elementary, Pine Lake Middle and Issaquah High schools in the Issaquah School District.
The number of students participating statewide shattered the record for participation — about 18,000 students — set in 2008.
Students choose Barack Obama, Jay Inslee in mock election
November 13, 2012
NEW — 8 a.m. Nov. 13, 2012
Students statewide and in the Issaquah School District chose the same candidates as grown-up voters — Barack Obama for president and Jay Inslee for governor.
The exercise included 38,848 students statewide, including classes at Cascade Ridge Elementary, Endeavour Elementary, Sunset Elementary, Pine Lake Middle and Issaquah High schools in the Issaquah School District. The number of students participating statewide shattered the record for participation — about 18,000 students — set in 2008.
Students cast ballots online from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2, and then Secretary of State Sam Reed's office posted the results online. The results in the statewide Student Mock Election reflected the outcome in the real election, albeit with different margins.
Newcastle actor's film debut is 'All I Want is Christmas'
November 6, 2012
Newcastle actor Ashton Herrild isn't mean or rude, but that may be hard to believe for audiences who saw him star as the bully Scut Farkus in The 5th Avenue Theatre's 2010 production of "A Christmas Story, The Musical!"
The 15-year-old Liberty High School sophomore is a hardworking student who enjoys doing a little acting on the side.
But for some reason, the charismatic teen keeps getting cast as an antagonist.
"I think it comes with the red hair," he said as he smiled and pointed to his ginger locks. "You see a lot of movies with red-haired bullies just because they may be different."
Fortunately, Ashton doesn't mind, and it's a good thing because he was cast as Jack the Jerk in his film debut, "All I Want is Christmas."
Issaquah High School graduates embark on trip of a lifetime
October 2, 2012
The transition between college graduation and the rest of one's life can be an uncertain time as students enter the job market and walk down the path to true adulthood.
So, three recent Western Washington University graduates with strong Issaquah roots decided that now was as good a time as any to head off on the trip of a lifetime, before a career gets in the way.
Matt Benson, Justin Kay and Andrew Baer have been friends since elementary school and the three have remained close through their time at Pine Lake Middle School, Issaquah High School and finally, Western Washington University.
The 2008 Issaquah grads will travel to Europe on a monthlong excursion, visiting England, France, Germany, Spain, and possibly the Netherlands and Italy.
Spurred by Skyline threat, absences jump 70 percent at other schools
September 25, 2012
Student attendance in the Issaquah School District tumbled Sept. 20, and absences spiked by 70 percent, as police investigated a shooting threat against Skyline High School.
District administrators decided late Sept. 19 to close Skyline the next day in response to the online threat and keep other campuses open. Staffers and students at other schools felt the ripples early.

Al Pscholka recall, Michigan House of Representatives (2011)
|Historical recalls
|Recall news
|Recall laws
|Recall Portal
On April 28, 2011 Benton Harbor City Commissioner Dennis Knowles filed language to recall Pscholka from office. It stated the Pscholka should be recalled "for sponsoring and supporting Public Act 4 that has robbed the citizens in District 79, namely the city of Benton Harbor, of their democratic rights...empowering a non elected emergency financial manager...(and) striking local municipal government representation for, of and by the people."[1]
Following the submission's rejection by the Berrien County Election Commission, Knowles submitted new recall language seeking recall on May 11.[2] At a meeting on May 22 the county election commission approved the language. The recall language is valid for 180 days, but Knowles must collect 6,718 signatures within a 90 day period in order to put a recall on the ballot.[3]
In early August, Knowles announced he had collected nearly half of the required signatures and plans to turn in the petitions on September 15.[4]

Wildlife, Jasper National Park
3 Reviews
3 Reviews
Favorite thing: Driving the Malinge Lake Road from Medicine Lake to Malinge Lake, a herd of bighorn sheep began crossing the road, holding up traffic for 20 minutes. A few of them came close to the cars; others stayed away. That was basically our entire wildlife experience in Jasper, except for some moose and deer later on.
Favorite thing:
%cThe wild life was one of our favorite things we saw int the Jasper National Park. They were everywhere. If driving, you must be aware that the animals do stand around in the road.
Fondest memory: Some fonest memories are the photos we have of the wild life.
Favorite thing: This is a common scene along Icefield Parkway -- whenever someone finds wildlife on roadside, it soon becomes a "deer jam" or "bear jam". Dozens of cars park in the middle of the road with lenses sticking out of their windows. Sometimes people walk around the animals trying to find the best angle (myself included). Anything that moves! One time I even saw tourists photographing crows and gulls in a parking lot. We got plenty of those in Los Angeles!

BET's First Scripted Series Puts Funny, Fresh Spin on College
By FRAZIER MOORE
By Frazier Moore
The Associated Press
Many college students see the diploma that awaits them as their ticket to success.
For Scottie, a perennial undergrad who's having too much fun to be concerned with success, that diploma would be more like his eviction notice.
Scottie is the happy-go-lucky hero of "Somebodies," a new comedy series premiering on cable's BET at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday .
"Somebodies" is notable in several ways.
It's billed as the first scripted series in BET's 28-year history.
With mostly black characters (notable enough for TV comedies and dramas), it has a funny, fresh angle on student life that should ring true for anyone who ever faced adulthood with let's-don't-be- too-hasty misgivings.
This is Scottie's brand of aversion. He's a party-going, churchgoing, easygoing guy whose unhurried journey of self- discovery is informed by kooky people with conflicting advice on the route he should take. They include his saucy ex-girlfriend and his four razzing housemates ("I got sperm that's gonna finish college before you do!").
There's a fire-and-brimstone preacher, various eccentric family members and new acquaintances such as Epitome, the outspoken founder of a campus black pride group whose acronym, B.O.N.C.E.R.S., is pronounced "bonkers." ("There ain't nothing more insane than a black man with a plan," Epitome cackles.)
When Scottie drops by his college counselor's office hoping to change his major again, she rips into him for never finishing anything he starts. Her warning for where this could lead escalates into a rant that smacks of an updated "Ya Got Trouble" from "The Music Man":
"Government assistance! Welfare! Rims that cost more than the car! Thirty-three-year-old grandparents! Sneaking chicken into the movie theater! Red Kool-Aid stains around the baby's mouth!"
Scottie's reaction? A mix of bemusement and sheepish acknowledgment that, maybe, there's a nugget of truth in what she says.
One other thing sets "Somebodies" apart: Hadjii, the mono- monikered whiz who created it, wrote all 10 half-hours, directed several, serves as an executive producer, stars as Scottie – and did it all not in Hollywood or New York, but in cozy Athens, Ga., where he attended the University of Georgia, then, after graduation, made his home.
He also made Athens the home for "Somebodies," which was filmed there this summer.
It's been a project long in the works for Hadjii, 32. It began years ago with a screenwriting class, where he showed his professor, Nate Kohn, a spec script he had written for "Seinfeld." Impressed, Kohn encouraged him to write about his own experiences as a black man and native Southerner. (He was born and raised in the coastal Georgia city of Brunswick.)
A film industry veteran, Kohn became Hadjii's mentor, then his producer. Meanwhile, Hadjii was developing his characters and story, while refining a comedic voice that has the laser incisiveness of Chris Rock and the knowing graciousness of Garrison Keillor.
"I want to be funny, but I don't want to be a joke," Hadjii said in a recent interview. Then, enlarging on his theme, he shifted into second person. "You want to talk about things that are relevant and have an impact. You want to deal with things that are important. You want to have heart."
His fellow executive producer Kohn points out: "There are no bad guys in what Hadjii writes. Scottie is trying to better himself, and a lot of people around him are trying to help them, even if they're crazier than he is."
"Somebodies" was first envisioned as a TV series. But, as an interim step, a feature-film version (and de facto TV pilot) was shot in 2004, with Hadjii starring and directing from his script. In 2006, it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The series deal with BET resulted.
Things fell into place just as they imagined. But it took a while to get there – so long that, during one delay, Hadjii wrote his first book.
"Don't Let My Mama Read This," subtitled "A Southern-Fried Memoir," was published this year and, like "Somebodies," deals hilariously with issues that matter to him – childhood, family, women, race relations, as well as avoiding crack and gunshot wounds .
"All I ever wanted to do was write," said Hadjii, explaining that filmmaking and acting "kind of happened like a natural progression."
Now he wonders if a natural progression will draw a white audience and other crossover viewers to sample his new series. Even luring older blacks could be a challenge, he said with a laugh. "They don't really fancy BET much. They just look at it as the boogie-woogie channel.
"But I think it's a channel that should be discovered, and it would be nice to play a part in that. It's my own little way of trying."
on TV
"Somebodies" premieres on BET at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

I love the detail and atmosphere you create in your images. I especially like images 6 and 9, but my favourite has to be image 5.
I didn't notice the girl in the tree right away and when I did it doubled the element of fear in the image instantly. Its amazing when an image evokes a real emotional response.
Great work!

Italian Artisanal Fishermen in Sicily. Small-scale low-impact fishing methods play a major role in sustaining fishing communities. They also contribute to maintain better protected, resource-rich seas and coasts.
The report, Onboard employment, proposes a series of measures to be implemented in the next decade to make Spanish fisheries 100 per cent sustainable and analyses the effects they would have on the economy and employment in Spain. This summary shows that this set of actions would increase economic production by €4 billion and create over 60,100 jobs; as well as deliver better protected, resource-rich seas and coasts. Last year, a first report examined the economic and social conditions of the Spanish fishing industry and looked at the part small-scale low-impact methods play in sustaining fishing communities.

'The Bold and the Beautiful' lands in the Emirates
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The American soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful" is taking the show on the road again, this time all the way to the money-soaked shores of the Arabian Peninsula.
Cast members including Katherine Kelly Lang and Don Diamont began filming scenes Monday overlooking Dubai's skyscraper-studded skyline. Among the sights they're taking in are the city's main man-made palm-shaped island and the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
The crew of the show, which celebrates its 27th anniversary on air next week, will continue filming down the coast in the United Arab Emirates capital of Abu Dhabi.
Some scenes there are being shot at the Emirates Palace hotel, an opulent beachfront complex that is arguably the city's swankiest place to sleep. It's a popular stopover spot for visiting royalty and heads of state as well as deep-pocketed tourists stopping by to pick up a pricey souvenir from its gold bar vending machine.
"Daytime shows don't typically get out on location, certainly not the way we have," Diamont, who plays businessman Bill Spencer on the show, told The Associated Press during a break from filming. "I think for the fans it's very entertaining to show these exotic locales."
"The Bold and the Beautiful" has filmed overseas before, including in Italy, Mexico and Australia. But executive producer and head writer Brad Bell says the UAE is the farthest the show has traveled from its Los Angeles base.
Bell said he has long wanted to film in the Emirates because he is fascinated by the country's rapid growth and over-the-top attractions like the Palm Jumeirah island.
They chose to go for it now because lead actress Lang wanted to take part in last weekend's Abu Dhabi International Triathlon.
"I said 'we're going to load up the station wagon, get all the guys together and we're going to shoot there.' Because it's something I've always wanted to do," Bell said.
Cast members are shooting parts of nine episodes during just three days of filming in the Emirates, he said.
In the show, Spencer takes Lang's character, Brooke Logan, to the Emirates to get married. While the crew is reluctant to divulge too many details, things could go awry because her on-and-off-again lover Ridge Forrester, played by Thorsten Kaye, is also in town for filming.
Lang's character has been married so many times on the show that even she can't remember.
"I don't count anymore," she said.
"The Bold and the Beautiful" has a wide international following, and says it is seen by millions of viewers in more than 100 countries.
It has been popular for years across the Arab world, though competition has grown as viewers tune in to increasingly popular Turkish soap operas and round-the-clock news and movie channels.
Episodes of the soap opera air three times a day on the Dubai One satellite network.
"Many people here come up, say how much they love the show," Lang said. "I didn't know how popular it was here."

Hi, I am a d3 college wrestler who wrestled in high school, took a year off my freshman year of college, wrestled again last year as a sophomore, but didn't get a match due to some eligibility issues.
My top wrestling mainly consists of cross wrists, crab rides, and cross body riding (legs). I was wondering If I should transition my game to more college oriented moves. Should I learn to do more with arm bars? Will getting stronger and continuing use of my current top arsenal work at the college level? How can I improve my top game?

Recently, the New Jersey legislature passed a bill, A2647, implementing new notice requirements on employers of 50 or more employees. This new law requires employers to conspicuously post a notice advising workers of their rights to remain free of gender inequity or bias in pay, compensation or benefits or other terms or conditions of employment under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and the federal Equal Pay Act. Both laws prohibit wage or compensation discrimination based on gender.
Timing of Notification
Once the form notice is issued by the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development (Commissioner) and final publication is made in the New Jersey Register, employers are required to provide notification: (1) within 30 days; (2) at the time of hiring, if a worker is hired after issuance of the notice; (3) annually, on or before December 30 of each year; and (4) to an employee, anytime upon request.
Form of Notification
This written notification may be publicized in many forms, and is not limited to hard-copy documents. Employers may make written notification available via any one of the following ways:
Employers who employ workers who do not have a company e-mail address, or who do not have internet access, are advised to rely on distribution of the notification via printed material. This will limit any claims that an employee did not receive such notification because he or she did not have the required means.
Notifications Shall Not Be Limited to English Language
This notification shall be available in English, and Spanish, and any other language deemed by the Commissioner as the first language of a significant number of workers in the state, at the discretion of the Commissioner. Employers shall post and provide the notification in English and Spanish as well as any other language under which such notification is available and which the employer reasonably believes constitutes the first language of a significant number of the employer's workforce. Employers who are uncertain as to whether a language is considered the first language of a considerable number of its employees are advised to post and provide such notice to avoid any liabilities or penalties in connection with this act.
Employee Acknowledgment
Employers must require all employees to sign and return an acknowledgment confirming that the worker has received the notification, and has read and understands its terms. Acknowledgments must be signed by the worker, either written or electronically, and returned to the employer within 30 days. Employers are advised to maintain these signed acknowledgment forms in the employee's personnel file, or a file maintained by the employee's supervisor.
While the statute became effective on November 19, 2012, employers are not required to take any action until the Commissioner issues the form of notification by regulation. This process, which can take several months, involves publication of the proposed form of notice, a 60-day comment period and publication in the New Jersey Register, which would contain the final form of notification. Final publication in the New Jersey Register will trigger the employer's posting and distribution requirements.
Once the final form notices are published, Pepper will issue a follow-up Client Alert with further information and a link to the form notices.
If you have any questions about the information provided in this Client Alert, please contact any of the authors.

US Workers Lost $37 Billion Waiting for In-Home Services
According to a new survey, American workers lost an estimated $37 billion dollars sitting at home waiting for the cable guy and other in-home service providers during the past year.
The survey, which was conducted by Zogby at the behest of Ohio-based mobile workplace solutions firm TOA Technologies, included interviews of more than 1,000 U.S. citizens, at random, regarding their experiences related to waiting for home-based services, Jason O. Gilbert of the Huffington Post reported on Monday.
The study discovered that more than half of all those interviewed (58%) had been forced to wait for a service professional to arrive at their homes during the course of 2011, Gilbert said, and that "the annual cost of waiting per individual is equivalent to removing the average American from the workforce for more than two days."
"It's clear from this year's 'Cost of Waiting' survey that customer service needs to be a top priority for businesses in the current climate, not only because it can negatively affect a company's performance but because poor service around wait times has financial penalties for a company's own customers," TOA Technologies CEO and Co-Founder Yuval Brisker said in a statement.
"Waiting has a huge potential impact on both individual customers and the economy as a whole. Broadband, cable, satellite, retail and utility companies can actually help consumers save lost earnings at a time when so many people are looking for ways to conserve every dollar," he added. "All they need to do is respect the consumers time by reducing the 'wait window,' keeping their promises and arriving on time, sending the right person to do the job the first time and by communicating effectively throughout the process using every available means."
The Beachwood, Ohio-based company, who's initials stand for "Time of Arrival," created a special type of software, known as ETAdirect, that can allegedly reduce expensed acquired during that four to six hour "wait window," Fortune reporter Colleen Leahey said on Monday. She says that the software "acts as an air traffic controller of sorts for workers and technicians out in the field," and can "slash wait times for deliveries down to one hour."
The TOA study also revealed that Americans had to wait an average of four and a half hours for their service appointments, and half of them reported being forced to use a sick day or a vacation day so that they could be at home to wait on a service specialist or delivery to arrive. On the whole, the survey revealed that U.S. residents took the equivalent of nearly three days off of work to wait for cable, satellite, or Internet service, furniture delivery, etc., Gilbert added.

New Film on Codex Alimentarius Outlines Vital Role of the National Health Federation
In this 10-minute video, filmmaker Kevin P. Miller outlines why the Codex Alimentarius Commission, working under the auspices of the United Nations and the Food and Agricultural Organization, has become such a dangerous and bureaucratic nightmare, and why consumers need to educate themselves about what will happen if Codex standards are adopted worldwide.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2010
In his latest film, international award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller (The Promised Land, Generation RX) examines the possibilities of a future where international government bureaucracies like the WTO and Codex Alimentarius "" working in league with multinational corporations, control the food and medicine supply worldwide.
"SHADOWS OF THE FUTURE was produced to help consumers understand the threat Codex standards and "Ëœguidelines' present to them," Mr. Miller explained. "People need to know how 'Free Trade' deals with the WTO have tied us into a strange bureaucratic alliance, and how it imposes restrictions on our lives and freedoms."
In this 10-minute film, Miller outlines why the Codex Alimentarius Commission, working under the auspices of the United Nations and the Food and Agricultural Organization, has become such a dangerous and bureaucratic nightmare, and why consumers need to educate themselves about what will happen if Codex standards are adopted worldwide. But he also states that people need to know that there is something they can do to fight this international movement "" and that there is an organization they can trust to fight on their behalf. "By supporting the vital work being performed by the National Health Federation at the actual Codex meetings, consumers can aid the NHF as they truly do speak to power. NHF is the only health-freedom organization at Codex that is promoting medical freedom of choice, all the while they combat the deceitful agendas that Big Food and Big Pharma are pursuing through Codex Alimentarius. And they are doing so in clear public view before the World."
Founded in 1955, the NHF is the World's first and oldest health-freedom organization. They are the only health-freedom group to be accredited and allowed to speak and present evidence at Codex meetings. Since Codex is where the political and economic battles are being waged for the future of the food and medicine supply, NHF is playing an increasingly vital role in fighting for those who demand access to safe water, non-GMO foods, dietary supplements, and inevitably alternative medicines of all kinds.
"I felt it was important to produce this update about Codex and feature NHF's role in fighting for millions of consumers because it's important for people to know that we have a powerful, true voice standing against the international bureaucracies and their multinational corporate partners that want to usurp our freedoms. More people need to be aware of the threats "" and realize that if they pitch in and support the NHF's work at Codex meetings, it will benefit all of us "" now and for decades into the future."
You can learn more about their ongoing efforts and achievements at http://www.TheNHF.com. The film can be seen online at http://www.thenhf.com/article.php?id=2576.

Anyone else's 3 year old refuse to use the toilet? My son will not use the toilet and it stressing me out. I personally believe that he should be potty trained by now..... what do I do?
Potty Training
The opposite of what you are doing now....stress. Whether you believe that your child should be trained by now or not, obviously HE isn't ready. IMO potty training is child controlled, not parental controlled. You can't force them to train and as many times as we hear it, it is true....they WILL train!! They WON'T go to kindergarten in a diaper. My ds (who is now almost 9) didn't completely train until almost 4. I admit it, I stressed about it. We fought with him, bribed him, punished him, everything you can think of. It didn't work. ONLY when we let go and let him do it on his own, did it happen. I KNOW it is hard when you know they are smart enough to get this and they don't. It has nothing to do with intelligence. Trust me, just relax, let go of trying to control it, and he WILL train. Don't talk about it, encourage it, or anything for awhile. When he starts to get interested (and he will) then encourage him. Trust me on this...it is easier to let them lead on this. Good luck!

I'm there with the frustration times 2!! I've got twin boys!! They just turned 3 a little over a month ago and I've been back and forth on the pullups/big boy underpants debate!! My dad just asked me today "so are the twins out of pullups yet?" Luckily today I only put them in pullups for nap so I just said yes and left it at that!! There's no amount of yelling or time outs that will make them understand the concept of 'holding it in'. There are times that they WANT to go on the potty, but other times out of pure convenience they CHOOSE to go in their diaper/pullup/big boy underpants... It is definately frustrating... but its definately going to take them just up and deciding to do it on their own for no reason other than their own personal preference as to where they want to pee and poo...
I wish you the best of luck in your potty training and please take comfort in knowing your 3 year old isn't the only three year old that isn't trained yet! It definately makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone!!
April ~ Mommy to Alex (11/1/05) Andy (11/1/05) Nick (6/5/07) and Rainbow Pumpkin due 10/30/11
Potty training is difficult and different for each case. My 3 y.o. is almost there but there has been some steps forward and back. Maybe you could try going cold turkey on the Pull-Ups? Chances are he's going to wet the bed anyway even after he's fully trained, so maybe if he knows he can't go in the diapers he'll be more open to the potty. Good luck!

Sorry I usually dont post here I was just in your shoes a few weeks ago and I gave up yep i told her fine you can go to school in diapers! I never asked her if she had to go never brought it up and now she goes all day no accident and most days at night with out an accident she potty trained her self lmao!! She has always liked to do things her self and me forcing her to use the potty was hurting the process more!
Just wanted to chime in... my older girl didn't potty train until she was 3 years and 4 months old. That was when SHE was ready, despite my stressing out over it. I didn't push the issue a ton, but I was stressed out about her being so old and not potty trained. I felt like all the other kids her age were trained. Anyhow... each child has their own agenda! My Nov. baby trained a LOT earlier than my older kid but that just goes to show how different each and every child can be :) Don't stress, momma! It will happen
My babies -- 8, 6, 3, 2, baby boy April 2012
I'm in the same boat... Damien shows all the signs that he's ready, but he will NOT use the toilet. BUT the same happened with my 8 1/2 year old, he didn't potty train until he was 3 1/2, that was after I gave up trying ;-)
My daughter just decided to use the potty on her 3rd birthday (11/24). Since then she has been using it more regularly. I agree with one of the posts above that the child controls this and not parents. I am very proud of her for finally getting into to it. I guess it's finally her time.
Still no interest here.....
after our bought with him holdign it in, I gave up. He knows his school is ready for him whenever he decides to pee and poop on the potty. He knows what he has to do. We just haven't brought it up in a couple months. He very randomly asks to go on the potty so of course we have him go but he never goes. Just says "nothing yet" and gets down. I guess we'll get there some day. I may start bring it up again after the holidays.

Private buses and lorries in the State are expected to stay off the road on April 1 as a mark of protest against the hike in third-party insurance premium, partial de-regulation of diesel prices, and anti-dumping duty on import of tyres. While lorry owners are expected to be on strike indefinitely, private bus owners are likely to stage a token strike for a day or two.
Their strike is in solidarity with a nation-wide agitation called by national bodies such as the All India Motor Transport Congress, All India Confederation of Goods Vehicle Owners' Associations (ACOGOA) and the All India Bus Operators' Confederation (AIBOC). Apart from hitting supply of essential commodities, the strike is expected to affect normal life in coastal Karnataka where private buses provide a bulk of transport services.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, ACOGOA president B. Channa Reddy termed government taxation of the transport sector as "exploitative". AIBOC president K. Rajavarma Ballal said, "The rise in the rate of insurance premium for third-party motor policy is a culmination of the anti-road transport policy of the government."
He said that buses would stay off the road for two days in coastal Karnataka and for one day in other districts.

Kamiak girls soccer takes third in districts
Knights beat Snohomish 2-0, plays Issaquah Saturday for berth at state
"To switch it around from the last time is huge," Kamiak coach Beth Stewart said.
In the regular season match at Snohomish, Kamiak entered undefeated in league play, but left 3-1 losers in a game Snohomish owned from the beginning.
Thursday night was the opposite.
"From the beginning, I think the girls just dominated," Stewart said. "They had control of the game."
They outshot the Panthers 18-10, but didn't do any damage until the second half.
Early on after halftime Chardalise Madrigal and Baylie Lux-Lowry had a pair of quick passes that set up Christine Heisen for the game's first goal. In the 54th minute Tylor Adcock added an insurance goal on a long ball played from 45 yards out that bounced over the keeper's head.
Kamiak's win sets up a rematch with Issaquah in the district crossover game that will be winner-to-state, loser-out contest. A year ago the Knights traveled to Issaquah and lost 1-0. This time the game will be held at Kamiak.
"Big home game," Stewart said. "That's one of the things the girls are excited about."
At Goddard Stadium
Goals--Tylor Adcock (K), Christine Heisen (K). Assists--Baylie Lux-Lowry (K), Chardalise Madrigal (K). Goalkeepers--Kamiak: Shannon Peth. Snohomish: Taylor Knapinski. Records--Kamiak 14-5-1 overall. Snohomish 13-5-1.

According to Accenture – 2013 Global Consumer Pulse Survey, "85 percent of customers are frustrated by dealing with a company that does not make it easy to do business with them, 84 percent by companies promising one thing, but delivering another; and 58 percent are frustrated with inconsistent experiences from channel to channel."
Consumers expect more from the companies they do business with. In response, many companies are shifting from managing their business based on an application-, account- or product-centric approach to a customer-centric approach. And this is one of the main drivers for master data management (MDM) adoption. According to a VP of Data Strategy & Services at one of the largest insurance companies in the world, "Customer data is the lifeblood of a company that is serious about customer-centricity." So, better managing customer data, which is what MDM enables you to do, is a key to the success of any customer-centricity initiative. MDM provides a significant competitive differentiation opportunity for any organization that's serious about improving customer experience. It enables customer-facing teams to assess the value of any customer, at the individual, household or organization level.
Amongst the myriad business drivers of a customer-centricity initiative, key benefits include delivering an enhanced customer experience – leading to higher customer loyalty and greater share of wallet, more effective cross-sell and upsell targeting to increase revenue, and improved regulatory compliance.
To truly achieve all the benefits expected from a customer-first, customer-centric strategy, we need to look beyond the traditional approaches of data quality and MDM implementations, which often consider only one foundational (yet important) aspect of the technology solution. The primary focus has always been to consolidate and reconcile internal sources of customer data with the hope that this information brought under a single umbrella of a database and a service layer will provide the desired single view of customer. But in reality, this data integration mindset misses the goal of creating quality customer data that is free from duplication and enriched to deliver significant value to the business.
Today's MDM implementations need to take their focus beyond mere data integration to be successful. In the following section, I will explain 3 levels of customer views which can be built incrementally to be able to make most out of your MDM solution. When implemented fully, these customer views act as key ingredients for improving the execution of your customer-centric business functions.
Trusted Customer View
The first phase of the solution should cover creation of trusted customer view. This view empowers your organization with an ability to see complete, accurate and consistent customer information.
In this stage, you take the best information from all the applications and compile it into a single golden profile. You not only use data integration technology for this, but also employ data quality tools to ensure the correctness and completeness of the customer data. Advanced matching, merging and trust framework are used to derive the most up-to-date information about your customer. You also guarantee that the golden record you create is accessible to business applications and systems of choice so everyone who has the authority can leverage the single version of the truth.
At the end of this stage, you will be able to clearly say John D. who lives at 123 Main St and Johnny Doe at 123 Main Street, who are both doing business with you, are not really two different individuals.
Customer Relationships View
The next level of visibility is about providing a view into the customer's relationships. It takes advantage of the single customer view and layers in all valuable family and business relationships as well as account and product information. Revealing these relationships is where the real value of multidomain MDM technology comes into action.
At the end of this phase, you not only see John Doe's golden profile, but the products he has. He might have a personal checking from the Retail Bank, a mortgage from the Mortgage line of business, and brokerage and trust account with the Wealth Management division. You can see that John has his own consulting firm. You can see he has a corporate credit card and checking account with the Commercial division under the name John Doe Consulting Company.
At the end of this phase, you will have a consolidated view of all important relationship information that will help you evaluate the true value of each customer to your organization.
Customer Interactions and Transactions View
The third level of visibility is in the form of your customer's interactions and transactions with your organization.
During this phase, you tie transactional information, historical data and social interactions your customer has with your organization to further enhance the system. Building this view provides you a whole new world of opportunities because you can see everything related to your customer in one central place. Once you have this comprehensive view, when John Doe calls your call center, you know how valuable he is to your business, which product he just bought from you (transactional data), what is the problem he is facing (social interactions).
A widely accepted rule of thumb holds that 80 percent of your company's future revenue will come from 20 percent of your existing customers. Many organizations are trying to ensure they are doing everything they can to retain existing customers and grow wallet share. Starting with Trusted Customer View is first step towards making your existing customers stay. Once you have established all three states discussed here, you can arm your customer-facing teams with a comprehensive view of customers so they can:
- Deliver the best customer experiences possible at every touch point,
- Improve customer segmentation for tailored offers, boost marketing and sales productivity,
- Increase cross-sell and up-sell success, and
- Streamline regulatory reporting.
Achieving the 3 views discussed here requires a solid data management platform. You not only need an industry leading multidomain MDM technology, but also require tools which will help you integrate data, control the quality and connect all the dots. These technologies should work together seamlessly to make your implementation easier and help you gain rapid benefits. Therefore, choose your data management platform. To know more about MDM vendors, read recently released Gartner's Magic Quadrant for MDM of Customer Data Solutions.

At Valspar Data Management is Key to Controlling Purchasing Costs
"Raw materials costs are the company's single largest expense category," said Steve Jenkins, Global IT Director at Valspar, at MDM Day in London. "Data management technology can help us improve business process efficiency, manage sourcing risk and reduce RFQ cycle times."
Valspar is a $4 billion global manufacturing company, which produces a portfolio of leading paint and coating brands. At the end of 2013, the 200 year old company celebrated record sales and earnings. They also completed two acquisitions. Valspar now has 10,000 employees operating in 25 countries.
As is the case for many global companies, growth creates complexity. "Valspar has multiple business units with varying purchasing practices. We source raw materials from 1,000s of vendors around the globe," shared Steve.
"We want to achieve economies of scale in purchasing to control spending," Steve said as he shared Valspar's improvement objectives. "We want to build stronger relationships with our preferred vendors. Also, we want to develop internal process efficiencies to realize additional savings."
Poorly managed vendor and raw materials data was impacting Valspar's buying power
The Valspar team, who sharply focuses on productivity, had an "Aha" moment. "We realized our buying power was limited by the age and quality of available vendor data and raw materials data," revealed Steve.
The core vendor data and raw materials data that should have been the same across multiple systems wasn't. Data was often missing or wrong. This made it difficult to calculate the total spend on raw materials. It was also hard to calculate the total cost of expedited freight of raw materials. So, employees used a manual, time-consuming and error-prone process to consolidate vendor data and raw materials data for reporting.
These data issues were getting in the way of achieving their improvement objectives. Valspar needed a data management solution.
Valspar needed a single trusted source of vendor and raw materials data
The team chose Informatica MDM, master data management (MDM) technology. It will be their enterprise hub for vendors and raw materials. It will manage this data centrally on an ongoing basis. With Informatica MDM, Valspar will have a single trusted source of vendor and raw materials data.
Informatica PowerCenter will access data from multiple source systems. Informatica Data Quality will profile the data before it goes into the hub. Then, after Informatica MDM does it's magic, PowerCenter will deliver clean, consistent, connected and enriched data to target systems.
Better vendor and raw materials data management results in cost savings
Valspar expects to gain the following business benefits:
- Streamline the RFQ process to accelerate raw materials cost savings
- Reduce the total number of raw materials SKUs and vendors
- Increase productivity of staff focused on pulling and maintaining data
- Leverage consistent global data visibly to:
- increase leverage during contract negotiations
- improve acquisition due diligence reviews
- facilitate process standardization and reporting
Valspar's vision is to tranform data and information into a trusted organizational assets
"Mastering vendor and raw materials data is Phase 1 of our vision to transform data and information into trusted organizational assets," shared Steve. In Phase 2 the Valspar team will master customer data so they have immediate access to the total purchases of key global customers. In Phase 3, Valspar's team will turn their attention to product or finished goods data.
Steve ended his presentation with some advice. "First, include your business counterparts in the process as early as possible. They need to own and drive the business case as well as the approval process. Also, master only the vendor and raw materials attributes required to realize the business benefit."

MDM Day in New York a Huge Hit, Thanks to YOU!
Beyond our wildest expectations—not to mention our original room reservations—the Third MDM Day event on February 19th was a tremendous success, a "three-peat" if you will. Expecting 100 attendees, we had nearly 500 registrations and a crowd of 350 who braved the weather, including a quarter of whom traveled from outside the tri-state area, to join us in New York City for a wall-to-wall day of MDM discussion and presentations.
Gartner Estimates Growth for MDM Market and Positions Informatica as a Leader in The Magic Quadrant for Customer Data Solutions
Over the last few weeks I've been saying that the incredible popularity of our MDM-related events is a sign that MDM is a vital and growing market. Now I consider it reassuring that analysts agree. It's also reassuring to see Informatica positioned as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Master Data Management of Customer Data Solutions, a position that Informatica has held for four years in a row.
In Gartner's October 2013 Magic Quadrant for Master Data Management of Customer Data Solutions, analysts Bill O'Kane and Saul Judah estimates that the total software revenue for packaged MDM solutions was $1.6B in 2012, an increase of 7.8% from 2011, as compared with a 4.7% rise for the overall enterprise software market. Further, O'Kane and Judah estimate that the MDM of customer data solutions market segment was worth $527M in 2012, an increase of 5.4% from 2011. The analysts go on to say that the customer MDM market is far from mature, and that just 40% of the organizations surveyed by Gartner were beginning MDM initiatives.
One of MDM's most important benefits is a single view of the customer across company departments and siloed systems. In this Magic Quadrant report, the analysts describe some of the business drivers for obtaining this view. For the banking and life sciences sectors, the analysts include "Compliance and risk management drivers, such as 'know your customer,' anti-money laundering and counterparty risk management in the banking sector, and Sunshine Act compliance in the life sciences sector." I believe that many other industries could similarly benefit from trusted customer interactions. Another set of drivers they list are "cost optimization and efficiency drivers," and finally, "revenue and profitability growth drivers," explaining that examples of such drivers include "initiatives to improve cross-selling, upselling, and retention."
Finally, the analysts observed a trend which we believe supports Informatica's view of the importance of all-encompassing MDM solutions that can manage master data across enterprise. As noted in the report, "Many organizations have now invested in creating a new central system to master their customer data, with the majority (an estimated 80%) of organizations buying packaged MDM of customer data solutions, as opposed to building the capability themselves."

New York's Recent MDM and Data Governance Summit Was a Blowout Event
If the recent MDM and Data Governance Summit was any indication, Master Data Management is an extremely hot topic these days. The summit was highly successful, drawing over 400 attendees comprised of business users and architects of every stripe.
I want to highlight one presentation that spoke to me directly. Quintiles is a company you may remember if you went to Informatica World 2013. Quintiles provides biopharmaceutical development and commercial outsourcing services via a vast network of over 27,000 employees across the globe. At the summit, John Poonnen, Quintiles' director of product engineering, told of the company's journey to multidomain MDM, which was key to enabling a web-based platform for delivering real-time insights into patient, study, site, and program activities. Poonnen presented to an audience of over a hundred technology and business professionals. (more…)
Who's the Top MDM Vendor – IBM, SAP, Oracle, or Informatica?
The MDM space is filled by a number of well-known players. In addition to Informatica, you'll also find IBM, Oracle, SAP, and a host of other vendors. But who's the leader of this space?
The Information Difference is an analyst firm that specializes in MDM, and this firm has been watching the MDM space for years. Recently, The Information Difference compared 12 different MDM vendors, ranked them using 200 criteria, and published their findings in a report of the MDM landscape for Q2, 2013. The firm compared the vendors' MDM offerings across 6 categories: data governance, business rules, data quality, data storage, data provision, and data movement.
Three Chances to Dig Deeper into MDM
I'm astounded by the incredible turnout and response to MDM Day and other MDM-related events at Informatica World, and again, I see this as a sign of MDM's importance in the business world. Attendees told their stories, swapped best-practices, and shared their visions of using MDM to improve up-sell, cross-sell, and other important business metrics. But now let's keep the momentum going. Here I want to tell you about three free webinars that will help you to dive more deeply into MDM, and take your initiatives to the next level. The first is for any large organization, and the other two are for pharmaceutical companies. (more…)
MDM Goes Big at Informatica World 2013: Here's What to Expect
Informatica World 2013 is right around the corner, and I'm eager to tell you about all we have planned. This year, MDM will play a prominent role, as you can see by the sheer number of MDM-related sessions presented by Informatica customers, partners, and employees.
Here are just a few highlights:
Has MDM Crossed the Chasm? Musings of a Marketer at Gartner MDM Summit
The general feeling, at the recent Gartner Master Data Management Summit, was one of excitement. It wasn't just that this was the largest MDM Summit to date with 600+ registrants; it was also the buzz in and around the convention center. The conversation wasn't about promises and "what ifs," it was about tactics, and 2nd or even 3rd generation MDM initiatives. This growth is a sign that MDM has matured past the initial phase of high expectations, in Gartner's hype cycle. To put it in Geoffrey Moore's terms, I think it's a sign that MDM has crossed the chasm from early adoption to more widespread, pragmatic adoption.

Hello, how was your week? I finished getting my last infusion Thursday at the hospital so hopefully my iron is back to where it should be. At least I feel lots better, just need more strength.
Our sympathy to the family of Nancy Woodson.
Also our sympathy to Tommy Vaughn and the family of Sara Vaughn. Tommy was a cousin of Bob's.
Also sympathy to the family of Mr. Alfred Davis. I had met he and Jo earlier and they also got married in May like Bob and I did the same year.
I have been eating the best green beans. I had a small amount of seeds left from a yellow green bean that has been in our family, I expect close to 100 years. I always remember the family called it uncle Edward and uncle Clarence beans. Their parents before them had the beans and before them their parents had the beans. I don't know the history any further back. This bean has always been in the family. I gave some of the seed to Ada Dorris Soshe and Joey raised some and she shared a mess with me. They sure were good and brought back a lot of memories.
C.W. and Martha Harris brought me a couple of cantaloupes and they were good. Hester Coursey brought me some good ole cake. Yum, yum good.
I hear Wanda Coursey has been moved from the hospital to Creekwood nursing facility in Russellville. Hope she can soon feel a lot better and can be back home real soon. There is just no place like home is there?
Remember the Johnson reunion which is September the 20th and will be at the activities building at Elk Lick. The lunch will be potluck. We usually eat near 5 p.m. A reminder the plates, cups and utensils will all be furnished, so don't worry about that.
Today was the last service at Elk Lick with former pastor Bro. Art Hatfield, as he has resigned. Where ever he and Mrs. Jane go, we wish the best for them.
Enjoying supper with Martine Brown on Saturday night were daughter Rozena and Pat Stanley, granddaughter Lynn, her hubby Jeff and their little daughter Kayla and her friend Hunter. All had a good meal and time together.
As September is here some known birthdays are: the 8th Garry Seras, the 11th Marian Carter and Addie Hendley, the 13th Baahnah Hendley, the 15th Meredith Johnson, the 18th ole Jim Turner and Rohan Singh, the 17th my cousin in Florida Omanel Robertson, the 19th Barbara Borders and my granddaughter Krista Lynn in Georgia, the 23rd Dean Harrell, the 25th Barbara Belilies, the 27th Gabby Ezel and the 30th Weston Wright and Frieda Pitchford. Hope all have special days.
Happy anniversary to George and Bev Witson on the 1st ans the 30th to Jason and Baahnah Hendley. Enjoy these special days too.
Sorry our good friend Dick Dickerson is having so much sickness. He says he is just not feeling very good at all. Maybe a wee bit better. He had several doctors appointments this past week and is already scheduled for more this week. We sure do hope his problems can be found and corrected. Hope you feel better okay?
Until next time, have a good week and smile, makes someone's day.

"I looked at a lot of sites to find a twins card that looked good and I found it here! I had never heard of Tiny Prints until then and I know I will use them in the future. The card looked so good and very colorful! I loved it!"
"I loved the background design on this card. I order a sample of this along with two others. The only thing that I personally didn't like about this invitation was how big the word "Baby" was at the top. Other than that its super cute! True to color and size."
"When I ordered this I thought it was gonna come in a more vibrant color,I knew it was not gonna have the glitter finished,but the blue looks actually gray. Other than that it's what I wanted."
"Originally I had bought baby shower invitations at a store. They were cute but my handwriting is so bad that after I filled out a few I was disappointed. I wanted something more professional looking. So I went online and checked out some websites. I needed something beautiful and fast. Bingo! The mother to be was thrilled when she saw the quality and design of the invitation and they arrived within 2 days!! Unfortunately to mail the invitations I had to pay extra postage. I didn't realize until I received the order confirmation, that due to the envelope size, additional postage would be required. So that meant a trip to the post office. More time and money spent! But just so you know, there is an envelope that will accommodate the invitation and not require additional postage. Some how I missed that choice in my haste in placing my order. Overall I am super happy with the product!!"
"I absolutely loved this invite. I received a ton of compliments on how cute and colorful it was. I don't really have a theme for my baby shower, just bright and fun. This card was perfect."

Page 2 Presented by Daniel Toriola A Review of the Six Figure Income (SFI) Opportunity By Brian Garvin SFI is the central figure in the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs covering cleaning, personal care, pet care and many other online businesses. The company invites people to take part in their program and to benefit from the SFI income opportunity. The SFI income opportunity was first launched in 1998 and has now grown to encompass tens of thousands of affiliates in countries all over the world – as such the SFI income opportunity is believed to be the biggest affiliate network in existence. SFI has been a member of the Better Business Bureau for many years. They had up the marketing for the IAHBE and Veriuni. Veriuni includes health products, pet products, cleaning products, communication products and more. I remember being in SFI and all the MLM Big Wigs were promoting it constantly. You would see it in emails everywhere. Many of this marketing came from ProStep Leads back in the 2001 days. The company offers a unique experience to its affiliates as it combines network marketing and traditional direct sales with the technological advances of the internet. The existence of the internet means that SFI is working twenty four hours a day, seven days a week dealing with thousands of requests every day. This huge coverage means that a growing number of people are profiting from the SFI income opportunity. Tens of thousands of independent affiliates means that SFI can reach millions of consumers and businesses and this in turn means that those who are engaged with the SFI income opportunity are enjoying running a successful business and earning a good income. One of the things that affiliates seem to consistently praise the SFI income opportunity for is the amount of support and training that they get – this support is not just while affiliates are getting set up; the SFI income opportunity offers its affiliates ongoing support and training. On top of this there is an affiliates network where affiliates can discuss their business and internet marketing concerns and successes with each other. Becoming an affiliate and taking advantage of the SFI income opportunity has brought business success and satisfaction to a large number of people. Some of the SFI affiliates had tried several money making opportunities and affiliate sites before coming across the SFI income opportunity. For most of these people joining the SFI program has brought them business success and financial freedom. From the information available the SFI income opportunity really does seem to have the edge over many such other opportunities. Because it encompasses so many different business opportunities there is something to satisfy everyone who chooses to become an affiliate with SFI. The SFI income opportunity offers its affiliates the chance to make an increasing amount of residual income while they are gaining business acumen and internet marketing know how. Most affiliates say that signing up with SFI costs nothing and providing they follow the advice that they are given then the SFI income opportunity offers them the chance to give up the day job and have a successful home Make Money Through Online Income Account Make money online through a professional business.

A World of Underinvestment
Michael Spence calls for international cooperation to boost investment in struggling post-crisis economies.Luca Bruno/Flickr
After World War II, policymakers recognized that deleveraging depended on nominal economic growth, which in turn depended on a global recovery. Like them, today's policymakers should use – and even stretch – their balance sheets for investment, while opening themselves up to international trade. READ MORE
