Wal-Mart: Always Low Wages
In the last few months, an unprecedented wave of labor unrest has shaken the retail giant Wal-Mart and its far-reaching supply chain. While the number of employees taking part in walkouts has been limited to the low hundreds, workers and labor activists are mounting pressure and threatening to stage a company-wide strike on Black Friday—the busiest shopping day of the year.
The Black Friday walkout is being organized by the Organization United for Respect at Wal-Mart (OUR Walmart), a group of Wal-Mart employees formed last year that works closely with the United Food and Commercial Workers union, or UFCW. OUR Walmart, which organized walkouts in October, is pushing for better working conditions, benefits, and an end to alleged retaliation by management.
The Black Friday strike would add yet another chapter to a wave of worker protests across Wal-Mart's supply chain. It all began in June when a group of immigrant guest workers at a Wal-Mart seafood supplier in Louisiana walked off their jobs. In September, workers at company warehouses in California and Illinois went on strike. The workers in Illinois eventually won back pay. California workers weren't so lucky—they started striking again last Wednesday. Shortly after those warehouse strikes began, retail workers backed by OUR Walmart started walking out of stores in 12 states.
Wal-Mart is painting the striking employees as a minority that's unrepresentative of its workforce. "The opinions expressed by this group don't represent the views of the vast majority of the more than 1.3 million Wal-Mart associates in the U.S," says Wal-Mart spokesperson Dan Fogleman. "Throughout all of these union-staged events, all of our stores were staffed up and open for business as usual. Likewise, we will be taking care of our customers on Black Friday and are looking forward to helping shoppers get a great start to the holiday shopping season with some great merchandise and our unbeatable prices."
Part of why the recent actions are so remarkable is that Wal-Mart is one of the most notoriously anti-union companies in the country. Based in right-to-work Arkansas, the retailer has maintained an almost entirely union-free workforce for most of its existence, even once resorting to shutting down a store in Quebec shortly after a successful union drive there. The company has never before dealt with coordinated labor protest on this scale. "In the past, Wal-Mart would fire people, would threaten people … and that would be enough to stop people in their tracks," said Dan Schlademan, director of Making Change at Walmart, another organization backed by the UFCW which works closely with OUR Walmart. "The difference now is workers are using Wal-Mart's own tactics to challenge the company and not backing down. Really, for the first time in Wal-Mart's history, the tools that are used to keep people silent and under control are now being used against them. That's significant."
Indeed, OUR Walmart has framed its strikes and the upcoming Black Friday action as an "unfair labor practice strike"—that is, as a response to the company's alleged retaliation against employees. Workers have already filed a handful of unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board—the independent federal agency that governs labor relations in the private sector. While Wal-Mart employees aren't unionized, they're still covered under the National Labor Relations Act, which protects the right of nonunion workers to go on an unfair labor practice strike without being permanently replaced.
Venanzi Luna, a deli manager at the Wal-Mart in Pico Rivera, California, said she's witnessed management retaliate against her co-workers. At Luna's store, where she and some of her co-workers went on strike in October, workers have filed two unfair labor practice charges. "If an associate speaks out, they retaliate by taking their hours, not giving them full-time hours, they write them up, they can 'coach' them,'" Luna says. "It's the little things that that they do, whatever they can file, anything for them to retaliate against associates that are either part of OUR Walmart or speak out against [Wal-Mart]. They've gotten to the point where they've fired associates because of it."
When asked to address those allegations, Fogleman said that the company has "strict policies prohibiting retaliation." He adds: "If someone feels they have been retaliated against, we want to know about it, so we can look into it and take the appropriate actions to resolve the situation," Fogleman says.
OUR Walmart isn't trying to push for union representation for Wal-Mart workers. The campaign is organizing behind a broad set of demands by building a network of allies and trying to pressure the company. "The fundamental difference is this isn't a collective-bargaining organization, it's a rights-based organization. At this point, there's not a battle for a collective-bargaining agreement, there's a battle to change the company," Schlademan said of OUR Walmart. "All the other things that are the heart and soul of the labor movement and of workers' organizing are there, which is collective action, workers pulling their resources together so they have a bigger voice, and utilizing the public to educate and build power to change the company." As the organization builds toward a Black Friday strike, OUR Walmart is partnering with the nonprofits Engage Network and Corporate Action Network to spread the message to Wal-Mart workers and potential allies nationwide. Organizers have set up a website where the general public can access a list of picket lines and "sponsor" strikers by making a donation.
Given the size of the company, it seems unlikely that the strikes will affect Wal-Mart's profits on one of its biggest days of the year. But whatever the participation rate proves to be on Black Friday, Schlademan said that OUR Walmart is in it for the long haul. "It's gotta start somewhere. … Workers are having enough. You look at the sit-down strike, you look at the civil-rights movement, you look at the women's rights movement, you look at anything, you look at Occupy, right? It started off with a few people sleeping in a park, and it grew," Schlademan said. "So this is a process—people are building a movement inside of Wal-Mart, and they're building a movement outside of Wal-Mart. What was in October was the beginning. What's gonna happen on Black Friday will be a continuation of that ... and this will just continue to build."

Sorry to break the news to you – but this is not a story. This is another last gasp effort of another sorry-arsed fading dying union to create something that is not there – a groundswell of employee tumult to unionize. Walmart's employees are doing very well compared to their neighbors and contemporaries, particularly within their strata: those in competition for similar jobs. And job security is something they have that their peers do not.
Why do you suppose that despite the fact the union has been throwing millions of dollars at convincing workers to unionize, the unions have only gotten spotty results where they have made traction and they have only made even a minor dent in some 600 out of 4,600 U.S. store locations… hmmmm?!?!?!
There is zero fear in Walmart employees emanating from the company, scaring them out of unionizing or listening to organizers – common sense is what's separating Walmart employees from unionizers.

Shouldn't you point out that you work as a consultant at a firm doing business with Wallmart? Before posting your BS? (I have no affiliation with Wallmart the strikers or any Union.)
I'm just a simple IT guy, who doesn't like being treated as a chump by people like you. PS your routing software sucks, who wrote it a 10 year old with an H-1B and a fake IIT degree?

One might think working at Walmart, Target, McDonalds and so forth is simple, but it isn't as easy as one might think. A number of reduced wage health results have been found which exact a physical toll on the people in these kinds of careers.

There are a lot of cases when Wal-Mart employees are taking part in walkouts, definitely something bothers them and they want some changes. When I bought a Generator Extension Cord from a hardware store I went to Wal-Mart to buy a present for my daughter but some of the workers went on strike and I had to return home.

Tonyblack wrote:Part of the reason (I think) that Vimes is so annoyed with Vetinari at the end of the book is that in just about every other Watch book, the story has ended with Vetinari dishing out some reward. Either a new dartboard and a pay rise, or even a knighthood for Vimes. Vimes feels that somehow Vetinari is manipulating him and he doesn't like it. It's clear that he's doing the same thing in Night Watch and ultimately Vimes is tempted by the restoration of the Treacle Mine Road watch house.
But he knows how manipulative Vetinari is and it annoys him that he always ends up being manipulated.
Remember, though, that the reward in NW is the first that Vetinari gives him without Carrot's pre-involvement. From "Men at Arms" on, Carrot is always the one who has that little conversation with Vetinari at the end that gets Vimes his reward...Carrot's price for not asseting his claim to the AM kingship. Also, when Vimes gets promoted, Carrot gets more power. He's not as innocent as he seems.

The three core services of MMM Training Solutions are:
"Many of the world's most admired corporations, from GE to Goldman Sachs, invest in coaching. Annual spending on coaching in the U.S is estimated at roughly $1 billion". - Harvard Business Review
The demand for Executive Coaching in India has seen a rapid growth in the past 3 years. Business Coaching is primarily a service that is provided to the senior executives in an organization. This is because of two reasons:
So what is Coaching?
"Coaching takes a holistic view of the individual: work, corporate values, personal needs and career development are made to work in synergy, not against one another." - British Journal of Administrative Management
"A personal coach can help you by getting you to spell out what it is that you really want and then working with you to make the changes that actually enable you to get there." - The Vancouver Province
"A coach is part advisor, part sounding board, part cheerleader, part manager and part strategist." - THE BUSINESS JOURNAL
The ebb and flow of the global economy mandates that top leadership should be able to not only adjust rapidly to change but also take along the organization seamlessly. So flexibility and reliability are two characteristics that leaders should possess. The enhancement of these characteristics is a focus of Executive Coaching. Also, undergoing Business Coaching enables them learn the skills and to provide Coaching and Mentoring to their subordinates; thus building a culture of continuous improvement.
"Business coaching is attracting America's top CEOs because, put simply, business coaching works. In fact, when asked for a conservative estimate of monetary payoff from the coaching they got… managers described an average return of more than $100,000, or about six times what the coaching had cost their companies."FORTUNE Magazine
Soft Skills Training is an important part of Management Training as it has a significant impact on Leadership Development. The Soft Skills Training conducted by MMM Training Solutions focuses on enhancing oneself, being an innovative and critical thinker and being an adaptive leader rather than a manager. These qualities help managers to adapt quickly to an ever-changing and highly competitive global marketplace.
In the yesteryears there was great focus on technical skills. But now organizations realize that Soft Skills, and not hard skills (such as technical skills), enhances Emotional Intelligence, which enables one to become an adaptive leader. An adaptive leader not only influences their team but also contribute significantly to maintaining relationships with their customers and developing a successful business.
Today organizations that conduct corporate training have a Learning and Development Department that focuses only on the Professional and Personal Development of their employees. A large part of the corporate training is centered on soft skills as this makes better managers who know how to handle their people more effectively. This in turn positively impacts employee retention.
Some of our sought-after programs are Business Communication, Global Business Etiquette, Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity, Leading the 21st Century, Coaching and Mentoring. These programs constitute a major part of our Management Training and Leadership Development Programs.
MMMTS' primarily focuses on Training and Development. Our Soft Skills Training Programs encompass a wide array of soft skills that cover areas that are a critical part of everyday professional life. From basic Business Communication to Problem Solving and Decision-Making MMMTS offers a wide range of customized soft skills training programs that addresses the individual business needs of each organization. It is an integral part of corporate leadership training in today's world. In fact, there is great speculation that one of the sectors to be in front of the boom in the next global upturn will be training and development as the route to gain enhanced productivity will be through training. We, for one, can attest to this fact as we have seen an exponential increase in the demand for our leadership and soft skills training programs.
Our Soft Skills Training Programs are customized after extensive discussions with key stakeholders. The programs vary based on the level of the employees, objectives of the program and the nature of the industry. Based on the principles of Adult Learning, our programs are 85% experiential and we use Role-Plays, Training Games, Business Case Studies and group discussions to make the learning relevant and applicable. Our client list is a testament to our effectiveness.

Corned Beef and Cabbage is probably one of the most popular St. Patrick's Day or Irish meals out there, but how about cooking one main course and having two separate meals? That's exactly what we did. We boiled everything in a pot for dinner and had corned beef and vegetables. Then for lunch we had Reuben Sandwiches! It's quick, easy and absolutely delicious!

Whether it be for a birthday or a major holiday, finding the right gift can be a time-consuming (and almost painful) process. What do you get someone who seems to already have everything? How do you even start looking for a gift for one of the pickiest people you have ever met? What if you barely know the person? To find the quickest, correct answers to such critical questions, you have to go shopping in the right place. Instead of spending hours browsing the shops in the nearest mall or plaza, try making a virtual visit to the Basil Street Gallery.
Our Basil Street collection is absolutely filled with gift ideas for every type of person. Unless the lucky guy or gal goes shopping at Basil Street, he or she probably won't already be the proud owner of stunning functional Egyptian decorations such as the Eye of Horus Egyptian Vase or a Pedestal Statue of the Egyptian Cat Goddess Bastet. These stunning items remind us of the splendor of ancient Egypt with the bright gold, silver, and lapis lazuli colors.
Basil Street also plays host to a variety of beautiful tabletop accents, art-deco lamps, unique accent furniture items, and much more. While shopping the gallery for gifts, you might also want to buy a few stunning resin garden statues for yourself. However, don't wait until tomorrow to buy them because today happens to be the last day of our Labor Day Sale.
Buy any of the items on the Design Toscano site by the end of today, September 3rd, and enjoy a 20% discount!
The Labor Day Sale ends on September 3rd and cannot be combined with other offers.

Fall may be approaching but we still have several weeks of warm weather to enjoy before the backyard is visited by the sharp bite of frost. There's still several days to take daily dips in the pool, weed the garden, and host beautiful evening parties in the backyard. Those garden festivities will of course require a certain degree of lighting and some of the most dramatic lighting comes in the form of certain angel statues. Add lighting and personality to the backyard with Majestic Angel Guardians of the Gate Statues. These stunning angel sculptures were cast from 19th century Italian originals that adorn the interior of a beautiful Italian cathedral. In the cathedral, they act as heavenly-themed candle holders and will have that same other worldly effect in your garden.
Pair those extraordinary standing angel sculptures with a pair of beautiful kneeling Bergama Renaissance Angel Statues. Modeled after Italian angels that were sculpted during the Renaissance, these breath taking statues feature similar realistic details, majestic wings, and a large candlestick holder. One of these fantastic angels makes a beautiful addition to the backyard but two will look simply stunning as they flank the entranceway to your garden. For additional garden angel lighting, impress guests further with a detailed, high quality replica of Michelangelo's Kneeling Angel with Candlestick Statue.
Find and save on these extraordinary angel statues and hundreds of fantastic resin garden statues at Design Toscano today.

Am I correct here in thinking that Google extended the support for Calendar ActiveSync to continue working until July 31, yet Microsoft is yanking the Google Calendar option now, but not adding in CalDAV support in?
So Google was screwing customers, then gave more time so Microsoft could support the new way Google was forcing people onto, now Microsoft is screwing customers by yanking the option early and not adding in the new way Google offers?
If I remember correctly that was only for WP8. W8 was screwed from Jan 31st. (unless I am extremely wrong)

Girl Stories: Cookies to Summer Camp — Jan 21, 2014
"I made enough Cookie Dough to pay for almost three camp sessions!" says Gracie, a Girl Scout Junior from Ames.
During last year's cookie program, Gracie sold over 800 boxes of cookies, which helped her go to her favorite summer camp session: Pony Tails! Do you want to go to camp with Cookie Dough too? Check out Gracie's tips below!
Gracie's Tips for a Great Cookie Program:
- Set your goals and plan ahead! I wanted to sell over 800 boxes of cookies, so I figured out that I would have to sell about 25 boxes a day (with some days off for family time).
- Be aware! I learned that people in our neighborhood get home from work after 5pm, so I would wait until after 5 to go door-to-door to sell cookies with my parents. This way I don't waste time knocking on doors when no one is home.
- Practice, practice, practice! It was helpful for me to practice my sales pitch with my family members.

Document and Forms Workflow
This solution receives documents via fax and e-mail, automatically imports them into the repository and executes the appropriate workflow based on the information pulled from either the content of the document and or the name of the document. Once brought into the system, utilizing the MSI Profiler the user can review the document to ensure it is completed correctly and they can update the appropriate metadata. If the document is faxed in, it can be automatically converted to a "fillable" PDF form based on the assigned document type. Once the document is converted to a "fillable" PDF form, the appropriate metadata for the document is automatically transformed to the "fillable" form. The process management dashboard enables a user to track what documents are in what queue in the workflow. The user can also click on the numbers in the dashboard to see the documents that make up that number. If they click on the document in the list, they will be presented with the MSI Profiler application in order to view and process that document.

GenderWatch is a full text database of publications that focuses on the impact of gender across a broad spectrum of subject areas and countries. Subjects include: business, education, literature and the arts, health sciences, history, political science, public policy, sociology and contemporary culture, gender and women's studies and more. Indexed are journals, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, regional publications, books, booklets and pamphlets, conference proceedings, and government, NGO and special reports.
Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Our little leather card pouch features a leather zipper pull and single compartment. Perfect for storing your plastic, money or spare change, this leather pouch can be used for storing many of your small necessities.
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
I purchased this little card wallet for my trip to Europe! The size and color are perfect and I want to buy more to match!
This was great for my many membership and gift cards. Just the right size to stick in my purse.
Awesome great company! This is where I shop always 100% satisfied!
What a lovely little pouch and so well made; really like it.
I use this to store and keep track of all the gift cards that I receive from work and as gifts. Good way to organize.
Quality leather. Timely delivery. Good color choices. Love the packaging.
I orginally purchased one punch for myself and two for gifts. Love mine so much, I have purchased an additional five for Christmas gifts. I did monogram all of them for I know it a gift they will life with such superior quality of leather. Leatherology does a first class job packaging...very elegant. This is now my go-to gift when I want to give something sepecial!
Excellently made, very pleased with product
Purchased this as a gift and had it monogrammed. Very nicely made.
Delighted with the colour and quality of the pouch. Will buy again.
Excellent product and excellent people to deal with!
It was nicely packaged and is a nice product. I am satisfied with it. I appreciate the timely delivery also.
I know this is advertised as a card pouch but it is so functional that I have several in different colors: 1) Credit Cards; 2) All family medical cards; 3) All membership cards such as Sam's; BJ; Costco; Hertz; Avis; United; AAA; AARP ; 4) Change for parking meters and other quick purchases....convenient size to fit into an evening purse or in my pocket....quality leather....LOVE this product!
great item and quality
Just perfect size...love it! Excellent leather and great workmanship.
I bought this pouch to carry the credit cards I don't normally carry everyday (dept. stores, etc.),coupons, and loyalty cards when I go shopping. I used to use a business card case, but it was too small for Macy's coupons. This works perfectly.
Looks nice but zippered opening makes it hard to get cards into pouch,...while a few do fit, it takes some careful work to get them in.....bought for a gift and was a little disappointed at how few cards would fit
This card pouch is exactly what I was looking for. It fits all my credit cards, it does not take much room in my purse, it is simple and very practical. I love the color, and the quality is great, too. Simply perfect!
I love this little pouch! Well made and very cute. I would definitely recommend to a friend
This single pocket leather pouch is fine for carrying ID, a few credit cards, and a few paper bills.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

FLL mat discussion
Linda B. submitted a couple of images (one of them from Marco at techbrick.com - thanks, Marco). You can see her notes about the mat - comments?
Update : David Levy pointed out on the forums that techbrick.com also has added a zip file download for the Climate Connections worksheets here.
8 comments:
Maybe the direction things will be placed in two different places on the mat, and the robot has to make them both point the same way?

"Where oh where do we put the Polar Bear? And what about all those people?". First... outside of the scope of FLL, those are really *excellent* climate questions :).
Within the scope of FLL, isn't there usually things that you try not to displace or knock down? People & Polar Bears would both fit into that catagory...

We noticed that the outline for the ice on the mat doesn't match the model that is given with the instructions.
I have added some details regarding this on our team blog at:
- Aug 6, 2008, 11:04:00 AM
- James Trobaugh said...
Look just below the rainbow ( to the left of the insulation mark ) and you can see where the bike will go, there are marks for the tires and the stand in the middle.
The pieces outside of the ice are 1x4 white bricks I'm guessing, maybe ice that has broken off?
The ski behind the ice I think mark where two of the skier minifigs will go...not sure why.
I wonder if you have to place the levy bricks in a fashion to stop the storm ( the wheel in the storm machine )
- Aug 6, 2008, 11:27:00 AM
I think the 2 insulation pieces should be placed on the 2 square markings near the mountain without the icecap.
- Aug 6, 2008, 1:48:00 PM
bmjzkIs the mat really 122cm by 244cm? That's way bigger than last year.
- Aug 6, 2008, 2:37:00 PM
FLL usually puts an easy mission near the base so newbie teams can get some easy points. My first thought was that "release the storm" was the easy mission. But having just had tropical storm Edouard go through Houston, I don't think storms are what you want to release. Maybe the robot has to maneuver around the trigger without releasing the storm, or points will be deducted.
Is the house pretty heavy? It might be easier to lower it than raise it.
- Aug 6, 2008, 3:19:00 PM
- James Trobaugh said...
I too was thinking the storm is something we have to avoid...at least until the end when we have prepared for it properly.
The house is tough to lift, but I have noticed that you don't have to use the lever to lift it, so your bot could maybe just grab the house in some way and lift it into place with out using the geared lever?

The gown's skirt is two layers, with blue satin underneath and a white tulle overskirt with golden highlights. Barbie® has extra-long golden hair adorned with a lovely crown. Her accessories also include a choker, earrings, golden ring and of course, "glass" slippers.

My name is Elena Scarlett Bates. My husband is Lucas Theodore Xavier. We were married June 30th 2022 in a botanical garden. We honeymooned for 2 weeks on the Big Island of Hawaii. We live in Portland, OR.
2022: I am interviewed on Ellen! They tell my story of the organization I started in college that helps arts education for elementary school students. It is called ARTS USA.
2023: Lucas gets a job offer in Berlin, Germany where his sister is also living. We decide to take it. I leave ARTS USA to my friend Claire to run. As an organization, we decide that my move ia the perfect oppertunity to become international. ARTS Germany(or ARTS Deutschland), and ARTS Canada(LETTRES Canada) are added this year.
2024: Lucas' close cousin Quentin and his wife Laura die in a car accident, leaving their kids in our care. I was nervous about adopting the kids because I didn't have any of my own. But little Bennett Rhys(4)and Ivy Laura(2) are too sweet to ignore. We fly out and meet them in New York, then fly back with them to Germany.
2025: Lucas and I think its about time to try for our first baby. We try for months but cannot get pregnant. We stop, and decide for adoption. Although we were planning on bringing home A baby, we brought hme TWO. Anneliese Adela and Arlo Henry are welcomed when they are 2 weeks old.
2026: Although I have 4 young kids, I feel restless not being able to work. I open a small bookstore called "The Bookworm" or "Die Bucherwurm". I hire a few employees but I mainly run it myself. I let the kids play in the kids section where I can watch them at all times.
2027: The kids are begging for a puppy. Lucas and I finally give in and decide to adopt 2. Two female dauchaunds are named Liesel and Lotte are welcomed to the family.
2028: Lucas' sister Kirsten and I decide to open a daycare. It is next door to the bookstore, where I can still keep an eye on things. It is called Sunshine Daycare(or Sonnenschein Tag-Pflege)
2029: Still unable to concieve, Lucas and I adopt a baby girl named Lorelei Adelaide.
2030: Although we love Berlin, Lucas is offered a higher position in Massachusets. We had been missing the convienience of the US, and my partner Claire was pregnant, and ARTS USA needed me back. We leave the Bucherwurm and Sonnenschein to my sister-in-law's care. We move just outside of Boston in a colonial style house.
2031: Just as we had settled down in Boston, Lucas was offered CEO of his company in England. I had always wanted to visit Britain, but never had the time while in Germany. I hated to uproot the kids again, but they didnt seem to have any problems(when they reacted by talking in Britiah accents.) We move to a suburb of London.
2032: My close and widowed friend Skye dies from a heart attack. There is no immediate family to take her daughters in, so we offer to adopt them. Rose Elena(11) and Juliet Cora(8) are flown into London to live with us permanently.
2034: Lucas and I decided that 7 kids was definately enough. But the tables were turned when I got pregnant! We were elates when I, myself, was going to have a baby. Little Maxwell Gray made child #8!
2035: While I was out starting ARTS UK, the kids decide to play with matches. They caused a fire in the backyard which eventually made ita way to the house. We moved to my sister-in-law Kirsten's house for a 3 months. Most of our belongings were saved, but enough damage was done to the structual system We moved to a larger home stone house with a big backyard.
2036: Lucas and I decide to get a family cat. It is a female munchkin cat named Ruby.
2037: Kirsten, my sister-in-law has a baby girl! I help name her Charlotte Fiona.
2038: My younger sister Gwendolyn moves in with us while studying abroad. She says for a semster. Gwen loves playing with the kids on the weekends and taking them to movies.
2039: I am somehow, magically pregnant! Oliver Jude is welcomed the same year that Bennett heads off to college!
2040: Lucas and I get another cat to keep Ruby company. She is another munchkin named Ellie.
2041: With ARTS UK doing strong, I allow myself to own a new bookstore. It is called the Bookworm.
2042: Turns out our cat Ellie was a boy all along! Renamed Elliott, he got poor old Ruby pregnant. We keep one of the kittens, named Matilda. Six others, Hattie, Petunia, Poppy, Louie, Henry and Eloise are given to new homes.Boys: Maxwell, Bennett, Oliver, Elliott and Archer.
Girls: Rose, Juliet, Aria, Cora and Scarlett
Sorry for any random spellings. I'm probably on my nook!

DH: Robert Duncan MacLean (25)
DW: Bailey Elizabeth MacLean nee Lennox (25)
Robert and Bailey were married June 13th, 2020 in Boston, Massachusetts. After the wedding and a 2 week honeymoon in the U.K., they decided to stay in the area and set about fixing up their first home: a three bedroom brick house.
2021: Robert and Bailey begin a charity for abused women and their children, called St. Monica's, after the patron saint of wives and abuse victims. This charity is close to their heart as a friend of Bailey's, as well as Robert's cousin, were both in abusive relationships.
2022: Bailey and Robert take in a foster child from the charity named Penelope Grace, who is three years old, after her mother returns to her abusive relationship and is declared an unfit mother. They adopt Penelope a few months later, when her mother signs the papers.
2023: A year after adopting Penelope, Robert and Bailey discover that she's pregnant! On June 17th (almost exactly a year to their three-year wedding anniversary), she delivers a little boy that they name Duncan Robert MacLean, in the tradition of Robert's family of reversing the names Robert and Duncan with each generation. Penelope is thrilled to be a big sister, and loves taking care of her baby brother.
2024: Bailey's great-aunt, Maeve, dies and leaves them her huge house on the outskirts of Boston. They decide to move there, as the neighborhood and schools are both great. This is the house: http://www.onarchitecturesite.com/im...rian%20era.jpg
2025: Bailey conceives again and on November 5th, delivers a little baby girl named Maeve Elizabeth MacLean, named after her great-great aunt and her maternal grandmother. Duncan and Penelope are both thrilled to have a new baby sister, who is affectionately nicknamed "Mae".
2026: Robert and Bailey are both interviewed on Barbara Walters about how it is with two demanding careers (he is a engineering manager, she is a famous historical author), three children and running a charity for abused women at the same time.
2027: Two years after Maeve is born, Bailey and Robert discuss having another baby. A week later, they discover she's already pregnant! On May 30th, she has boy and girl twins named Aileen Isabelle and Owen Lennox MacLean. Aileen is named for her paternal great-grandmother and her aunt, and Owen is named after his paternal great-grandfather and given his mother's maiden name.
2028: Robert and Bailey take the whole kids on a three month vacation to Scotland, since they both still have family living there, and because they want the kids to know their roots. The highlight of the trip for them is when Penelope proudly announces that she's proud to be Scottish and a MacLean, since both of them have tried very hard to make her feel like she is a member of their family.
2029: Robert and Bailey take another vacation, just themselves, to sunny Hawaii for two weeks as a second honeymoon. The kids stay with Robert's parents for part of the time and with Bailey's parents the rest of the time,making it a vacation for the whole family.
2030: Bailey and her sister-in-law Isabelle open a daycare in addition with St. Monica's, called St. Nicolas', after the patron saint of children.The daycare is to watch the children of women re-entering the workforce or school after escaping abusive situations at home.
2031: Its been three years since the twins were born, and Bailey misses having a baby. A few weeks after discussing this with Robert, she realizes she's pregnant again! On August 9th, she delivers a little girl named Matilda Monica MacLean, after a famous English queen and her parents' charity. She is affectionately nicknamed "Mattie" by her siblings.
2032: The house burns down! Thankfully, the family isn't home at the time. They stay with Robert's parents for a few weeks (making it a very tight squeeze), while they look for a new home large enough for their family. Finally, they find a new house: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3...3e4ko1_500.jpg
2033: Bailey is interviewed on a radio talk show host about being an author, working towards her PH.D. in European history, and being a mother of six children, while helping run a charity. She gives advice and tells funny stories about her children, and everyone agrees the show is a wonderful success. Numerous donations pour into the charity afterwards.
2034: Robert's younger sister Katherine comes to stay with them for awhile, after graduating from medical school. She stays for six weeks before finding an apartment and moving out, although her apartment is nearby. She and Robert use the time to improve their relationship and they become closer.
2035: Triplets are abandoned by their mother at St. Monica's, since her new abusive boyfriend doesn't want the trouble of raising kids. They are only three years old and Robert and Bailey willingly take them in and adopt them. Their names are Lucy Rose, Emma Anne and Noah James MacLean. They are willingly accepted by their siblings, and are especially close to Penelope.
2036: Bailey and James agreed to try for one more child (after all, if they can handle nine, they can handle ten) and try IVF, since Bailey is now forty-one. It works a little too well and on October 27th, she delivers twin girls named: Kelsey Charlotte and Aubrey Katherine MacLean.
2037: Robert's great-uncle, William, dies and leaves all his money to Robert, who was his favorite out of all the children. His estate comes out to 5,000,00 dollars! Robert and Bailey put a good chunk of the money into college funds for the children, invest some of it, donate a good part of it to St. Monica's and save the rest of it.
2038: Driving home from school one day, Bailey and the kids discover a huge abandoned dog that is starving and sick. It turns out to be an Irish Wolfhound and they adopt it, and name him Duke. He's a giant teddy bear when it comes to the kids and is fiercely protective of his family.
2039: Robert's cousin, Abigail, comes to stay with them for a few weeks while she gets out of an abusive relationship (she part of the reason that Bailey and Robert started St. Monica's for). After a few weeks, she leaves and moves to Vermont to get away from her abusive ex. She continues to email the family pictures of her new life and thanks them with helping her get away.
2040: Bailey has a 'miracle' pregnancy three years after the twins are born! On November 19th, she has a little boy named William Alexander MacLean, after his paternal great-great uncle and his maternal great-great uncle. He is affectionately known as Will by his siblings, and his brothers are overjoyed to finally have another boy in their female-dominated household.
2041: Penelope, who is now twenty-two and finishing up a degree in biomedical engineering, comes home for Christmas with her boyfriend of eight years (they met their freshman year of high school), Daniel. They announce that they're engaged!
The end!

Me: Zoey Brianna Mercer (25)
Husband: Leo Michael Mercer (26)
We got married on the beaches of Hawai'i.
Honeymooned in Paris, London, and Ireland.
Year #1: I feel sick a few weeks after we get back from our honeymoon, so I go to the doctor thinking its the flu. But, when I get to the doctor's, she tells me I am 7 weeks pregnant! On a routine check up at the doctor's, we find out we are having all girl triplets! 3 months later, on June 18th, I give birth to Paris Alaina, Londyn Savannah, and Ireland Taylor.
Year #2: After the girls were born, we really wanted a boy. We tried and tried and tried. After 3 months Leo and I found out we were expecting again. We waited until the birth to find out the gender of the baby. On September 6th, I give birth to beautiful baby boy. We name him after his daddy. Lucas Michael "Luke".
Year #3: My younger cousin, Addison Noelle "Addie", becomes pregnant right after her 16th birthday. Her parents are very upset and I am too. She was told not to get pregnant in high school and is ashamed of herself. She then goes on to tell us that she didn't know who the father was. (She hadn't dated since Junior High, instead she focused on school). A few months later, on May 12th, Addie gives birth to a baby girl, and names her Mikenna Sophie "Kenley". We end up finding out that Addie was drugged and then raped by her old boyfriend, Walker Isaiah. She decides that she can't keep the baby because she has to focus on school and work. We offer to adopt baby Mikenna, and Addie is very glad that we offered and she excepts.
Year #4: After adopting Kenley we decide to adopt again. This time a baby boy from Pakistan. We name him Holden James.
Year #5: My sister Haley and I start a new baby, toddler, and maternity shop. We call it Bippity-boppity Baby Boutique.
Year #6: We have another baby boy, on October 19th. We name him Noah Jacob.
Year #7: We love buying things for Noah from our boutique and we want to have more children so we can use it. 4 months after Noah turns 1, we find out that we are pregnant. I am put on bed rest when I find out that there is more than one baby. There are 3! 2 boys and a girl! We name them Jackson Leo, Colin Matt, and Kadie Nicole. They are born on March 9th.
Year #8: Paris, Londyn and Ireland are now 7, Luke is 6, Kenley is 5, Holden is 4, Noah is 2, and Jack, Colin, and Kadie are 1. My best friend, Alexis Bailey "Lexi" is getting married to her high school sweetheart, Nick Wesley. Our whole family was in the wedding. The older triplets were junior bridesmaids. Luke and Holden were junior groomsmen. Kenley and Kadie were the flower girls. and Noah, Jack and Colin were the ring bearers. And, obviously, I was a matron of honor and Leo was a groomsman.
Year #9: The wedding was very hectic, but also a lot of fun. And, even with our overly large family, we decide to help little ones in need. We found out from the same adoption agency that we got Holden from, that his mom was pregnant. She knew that we would be the perfect parents and since we already had her older son, she didn't want to split up any potential biological siblings of his. She is pregnant with a boy and a girl. Twins! We name them Aidan Kale and Emmilyn Kristyn. We nickname her Emmi.
Year #10: After being a mom of 12 kids, we wanted to let the world know how crazy it is for us, and to let every other parent out there that is difficult but many things are rewarding. I decide to write a book just for that purpose. Our book is published on August 30th.
Year #11: We decide to take a break from having kids. However, 2 months later, lo and behold, we find out that I am pregnant. A few months into the pregnancy, they find that there is more than one baby. There is 3! 2 girls and a boy! We name them Isla Simone, Leah Makenzy and Joel Asher.
Year #12: A few months after the triplets are born, Emmi gets sick. She is rushed to the hospital one day and we learn she has 3 brain tumors. 2 of them are cancerous. We are devastated. She has surgery to remove them all and was on a straight road to recovery. It doesn't come back and she is a very active 3 year old. This influences us to start a charity.
Year #13: We try to focus on Emmi getting better, but we fall unexpectedly pregnant with a little boy. We name him Owen Bryce.
Year #14: Our older triplets are 13, Luke is 12, Kenley is 11, Holden is 10, Noah is 8, the middle triplets are 7, Aidan & Emmi are 5, the youngest triplets are 3, and Owen is 1. We decide to continue to expand our family when we learn that Holden, Aidan & Emmi's mom is pregnant with another set of boy/girl twins. We take a trip (without the kids, except for Holden, Aidan and Emmi) to Pakistan to get the twins. The kids are very excited to see their mom. We take home the twins after a 5 day vacation in Pakistan. We name the babies Khloe Eliza & Kolten Brady.
Year #15: Holden, Aidan, Emmi, Khloe and Kolten's sister is pregnant with multiples. She is only 18 and feels she can't take care of 3 babies, let alone one. The kids' mom told her about us and she feels that we are a good pick for her babies. The triplets are G/B/G. We name them Greer Isabel, Bentley Isaac, Genevieve Imogen "Eve".
Year #16: The triplets' best friend's older sister (age 23), is getting married. Paris, Londyn, Ireland and Paris's friend are bridesmaids. The day goes well and Benny and Eve learn to walk. They danced (as well as new walkers could) and they walked all around (and fell multiple times too).
Year #17: The kids are getting bigger, and we decide to adopt again. This time a single baby. A girl! We name her Aria Josephine. She has dark blonde hair and hazel eyes.
Year #18: Aria is getting bigger and bigger everyday. She is the cutest little girl and the smallest of all the kids. We thought we were going to stop with just her but I feel that I need a few more pregnancies. Leo agrees and we get naturally pregnant with 3 girls! We name them Tessa Lucy, Tegan Charlotte and Tatum Brooke.
Year #19: We get sick and tired of the cold in Massachusetts and when we learn that Leo is getting transported again, this time to Texas, we are stoked. We move 3 months later to a small town near Austin.
Year #20: We wanted to have another baby in this new state so we decide to get pregnant. We end up having another set of triplets! 3 boys. We name them Wyatt Preston, Beckett Cooper, Gavin Miles.
Paris/Londyn & Ireland, Luke, Kenley, Noah, Jackson/Colin & Kadie, Aidan & Emmi, Isla/Leah & Joel, Owen, Khloe & Kolten, Greer/Benny & Eve, Aria, Tessa/Tegan & Tatum and Wyatt/Beck & Gavin
5 singletons + 2 sets of twins + 6 sets of triplets = 27 kids

There are several comic shops in Cardiff. Forbidden Planet has lots of stores as well. Many of these small shops sell online I believe.

THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
BBC Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles and Greg James are packing their bags early and taking their shows to Carlisle a week before Radio 1's Big Weekend.
The pair will broadcast their shows live from Cumbria from Monday (May 9) to Friday (May 13) when they arrive a week ahead of the main event. In addition to their daily shows, Chris, Greg and their teams will be getting out and about in the city and surrounding areas, meeting the residents and celebrating all that Carlisle has to offer.
The pair will immerse themselves in the local community for a whole week, and they also plan to meet the city's students in a Q&A session during the week.
Chris Moyles says: "The Big Weekend is always the highlight of my year and I'm so excited that we get to go up to Carlisle for a whole week beforehand and settle in before everyone else arrives. I'm hoping the good people of Carlisle are going to show us a good time!''
Greg James adds: "I'm really looking forward to this year's Big Weekend and to bring my show live from Carlisle. Chris and I will be out and about meeting the locals during the week and I'm hoping we can experience the best of the city!"
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is the UK's biggest free ticketed festival and 40,000 lucky music fans will be able to enjoy performances across four stages at Carlisle Airfield where the event is taking place – the Main Stage; the In New Music We Trust Stage; the Outdoor Stage and the BBC Introducing Stage. This year's artists include, Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, The Black Eyed Peas, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding.
A truly multiplatform experience, Radio 1's Big Weekend will be broadcast on Radio 1, with a major interactive presence online and many live performances available to watch on demand. There will be highlights on BBC Three and extended performances can be seen via BBC Red Button on digital TV during the weekend.

MP demands answers over hospital deaths
Last updated at 20:30, Thursday, 22 March 2012
Workington MP Tony Cunningham is demanding answers after it was revealed that seven people died in north Cumbria's main hospitals after falls or blunders.
Leaked documents showed that four patients died after falls at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary over a seven-week period from September to October last year.
Three others died in what have been labelled high-level or serious untoward incidents.
It is not known when they died.
The details were revealed in documents leaked to BBC Radio Cumbria.
One patient who died had been monitored using a telemetry machine with a flat battery. The incident was labelled high level.
Another patient left a ward and was later found dead in what has been treated as a serious untoward incident. An investigation has been launched.
A diabetic patient became unresponsive and died.
North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs the hospitals, said in response that all diabetic nurses must be trained on trust policy for management of hypoglycemia.
The leaked report also referred to a patient who was involved in a near drowning incident.
An action plan has been implemented since that serious untoward incident, said the trust.
It is not known whether the incidents happened at the West Cumberland Hospital or at the Cumberland Infirmary.
Details were also revealed about an hour-long power cut at the West Cumberland Hospital.
Electricity back-up systems and emergency lighting have been reviewed following that incident, the document said.
Mr Cunningham said he would demand answers from the trust's chief executive about how the incidents had happened and what had been done to prevent them happening again.
He will also table questions to the Secretary of State for Health, he said.
He added: "If we are not given proper answers I'll call for a public inquiry.
"It is extremely disturbing and worrying and we need to find answers quickly as to what's gone wrong and make sure it doesn't happen in the future."
Patients at the two hospitals were paid £2,087,511 in compensation for medical blunders in 2010/11.
Another £225,574 was paid for non-medical claims such as loss or theft of property on hospital grounds.
The NHS Litigation Authority said there had been 70 complaints referred to it for clinical negligence and 17 non-clinical referrals during the year.
Eight of the medical claims were for maternity matters, with £657,540 paid out.
Details released to the BBC under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that in September and October 2011 there were 29 falls in the two hospitals compared with nine in the same period of 2010.
Injuries ranged from fractures to bumps, grazes, cuts and bruises.
In three cases there were no visible injuries.
Eight of the 2011 falls happened at the Whitehaven hospital with the rest in Carlisle. Five of the 2010 falls were in Whitehaven.
Between January and November 2011 there were 116 falls at the hospitals, compared with 103 in the whole of 2009 and 69 in 2010.
It is not known whether the falls led to the four patients' deaths, which are now the subject of inquests.
A trust spokeswoman said: "Overall we have not seen an increase in the number of patients falling and in fact, they are reducing year-on-year.
"However, there was a short period when there were a number of falls which concerned us and, as we take patient safety very seriously, decided these needed further investigation."
She said everything was done to prevent falls which were always investigated thoroughly.
The trust has a falls team which work across the hospitals.
Glenn Turp, Royal College of Nursing northern regional director, said: "The RCN has been warning for many months that there are serious potential risks to patients when staffing levels and the skills mix are not right. We have also raised our concerns with the Care Quality Commission, the local NHS GP Commissioners and the strategic health authority."
l The two hospitals have meanwhile been rated among the worst in the country by staff who work there.
Responses from staff to a national satisfaction survey ranked the hospitals in the bottom 20 per cent.
A large proportion said they would not recommend North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust as a place to work or receive treatment.
A trust spokeswoman said it was committed to working hard to improve things for staff and patients.

Have your say
You don't have to look far for the answer - incompetent management and inadequate staffing levels. The Trust's own survey of it's staff delivers a damning indictment of Dr Neil Goodwin and his management team. It is totally unacceptable that we have hospitals which the staff themselves wouldn't feel safe being admitted to. Goodwin has to turn this situation around in double quick time, or he must go.
A few years ago I had to go into Whitehaven hospital for investigations. I had to be 'Nil by mouth'. As I am an insulin diabetic I had to be put on an Insulin?glucose drip.......during the night I had a serious hypo......it was discovered that I had been put on a insulin only drip!! I nearly died!....I left the next day without the investigations taking place....I will NEVER go to Whitehaven again!
