While my husband is deployed, how can I help my children cope?
- Jane
No two children — even within the same family — will react to a parent's deployment in exactly the same way. There are a few things, though, that all children seem to benefit from when their world suddenly changes.
The first is a sense of stability. In the face of big changes, even small things that stay the same — like a simple bedtime or mealtime routine — can be extremely reassuring.
The second is an acknowledgment of their feelings — both the good and the bad. When a parent leaves, kids may experience a whole range of emotions, from pride to fear to anger. Help yours express their strongest feelings. Drawing pictures, writing letters, or keeping a journal are all great ways to do this.
Keep in mind that kids who feel angry usually are upset by the situation and those perceived as causing it, even though they might express their anger toward others.
Third, kids need to maintain a bond with the parent who's away. Whether it's writing letters, looking at pictures and videos, saying a special prayer, counting down days on a calendar, finding where mommy or daddy is on a map, or making a scrapbook, creative ways to stay connected are important.
And finally, children need the remaining parent to stay emotionally healthy. It's easy to feel exhausted and overwhelmed when you're handling everything on your own. Offset those negative feelings by taking good care of yourself and getting extra support from relatives, friends, and other military families who've been in your shoes — particularly if you're finding it hard to give your kids the positive attention they need.

'Duck Dynasty's' Willie Robertson cooks up armadillo eggs on 'Good Morning America'Add to Favorites | Duck Dynasty
A big part of the holiday season tends to be lots of food. So much food that at the end of the meal you think, "I'll never do this again." You will though, so don't worry. If you're looking for some new things to try in this kitchen this year, the "Duck Dynasty" crew has your back.
The Robertson clan stopped by "Good Morning America" to cook up some of their favorite dishes, from the "Miss Kay's Duck Commander Kitchen" cookbook. Miss Kay gave a quick tutorial on her traditional duck and stuffing, but the fun happened when Willie Robertson made up a batch of his "armadillo eggs."
There's no actual armadillo in the recipe, but there's plenty of sausage, bacon, cream cheese and butter, so it's very healthy. The rest of the Robertsons were there to make banana pudding, crazy bread and cranberry salad, with quite a bit more butter put to use.
Adding these recipes to your dinner table will surely make things interesting, but not remotely healthy.

Florida Poker Bill Signed into Law
The Sunshine State officially signed a Bill into Law without the Governor's signature on June 13, 2007 to increase betting limits in Florida. Along with increased stakes, favorable revisions were made to hours of operation, addition of No Limit games, and added card room prize giveaways.
The Bill HB 1377 will become effective July 1, 2007.
Prior to this Bill becoming law "No Limit" games were not part of Florida poker rooms unless conducted in a tournament setting. With this new law Florida poker players will be allowed to play at cash tables that have No Limit Texas Hold'em. A card room operator may conduct games of Texas Hold-em without a betting limit if the required player buy-in is no more than $100.
Increased stakes at "Limit" Texas Hold'em games are also now lawful under this legislation. Previous "Limit" Hold'em games consisted of $2/2 but now players in Florida can bet at $5/5 tables.
According to one player at a local "Best Bet" poker Cardroom in Jacksonville, Florida , "It's about time they did something to make the games a little more interesting. I'm just happy they added No-Limit cash tables. The low stakes "Limit" games were a crap shoot because everyone called everything. It's good timing too because it's getting really hard to play poker online in the US with all the new laws passing."
Tournament stakes have also increased according to HB 1377.
"The entry fee for a tournament may not exceed the max amount that could be wagered by a player in 10 like-kind non-tournament games."
Many card rooms in Florida were previously set to only have $45 tournaments where most of the "buy-in" went towards the rake.
Because of such recent passing of the law many card rooms have not released their new blinds/ante/ and rake schedules. So far most card rooms like Pompano Harness in Ft. Lauderdale plan to have $1/2 and $2/5 "No Limit" Hold'em games.

Negotiators for the Orioles and Major League Baseball spent all of yesterday trying to finish an agreement that would compensate the team for the losses it expects because of the new competition it faces, but no deal was reached.
"We continue to negotiate, and we'll be back at it in the morning," MLB president Bob DuPuy said last night. "I continue to be optimistic."

"The reason they don't show up in crime statistics is because people aren't watching them," said Williams.
Statistics showing that black customers steal more "are not really an indication of who's shoplifting," he said. "It's a reflection of who's getting caught. That's a reflection of who's getting watched. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy."
Dido Kanyandekwe knows he is being watched. "But I joke with them; I see them looking at me and I say, 'Hello, I see you!' And I wave," said the 18-year-old college student in New York City, who was in Barneys on Monday buying a $600-plus pair of Italian designer sneakers.
"Most black people don't have the money to buy stuff at Barneys," said Kanyandekwe, the son of wealthy parents, before paying for the black leather shoes with a credit card. "But that does not mean all black people are not able to buy these things."
Black people are not the only ones who can face unequal treatment in stores. Hispanics have made the same complaints. And Sher Graham, a white woman who lives in Mobile, Ala., says black servers in the fast-food restaurants she visits often wait on black customers first.
A few months ago, she said, a black cashier started talking to black women standing in line behind her about their order. "When I brought this to her attention, she just shrugged her shoulders and completely ignored me. This action happens more times than not here in the Gulf Coast region," Graham, a consultant and speaker, said in an email interview.
Yet if the number of complaints is any guide, the experience is most common for African-Americans.
Candace Witherspoon, a wardrobe stylist in Los Angeles, went to a store in Century City last April to buy a purse and shop for one of her celebrity clients. She was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. In a letter to the company, Witherspoon said the sales associate barely greeted her, then ignored her, in contrast with her treatment of white patrons.
"As the other customers left, she said 'Thanks ladies for shopping. Have a good day.' When I left she gave me a nasty look and didn't say anything," Witherspoon's letter said.
Toni Duclottni, who runs a fashion web site in Los Angeles, recently went to a Beverly Hills department store intending to spend about $4,000 on shoes. But she took her business elsewhere after being ignored.
"It's frustrating to be constantly ignored and people pretend it doesn't happen," she said.
To her, the solution is simple.
"They rush to judgment, they jump into it assuming something without speaking to a person," Duclottni said. "They'd be surprised if they just walked up and said, "Hello, can I help you find something?' They'd be surprised."

The Story of the Kelly Gang is generally regarded as the world's first feature length film, preceding D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915) by nine years. Its 70 minute length was unprecedented when it was released in 1906. The movie traces the life of the legendary Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly (1855-1880). It was written and directed by Charles Tait. The film's approximate reel length is 4,000 feet (1,200 m). It was released in Australia on the 26th December 1906 and in the UK in January 1908. The film cost an estimated $2,250 and was filmed in Melbourne, including the suburbs of St Kilda (indoor scenes), Eltham, Greensborough, Heidelberg, Mitcham and Rosanna.
Only about 10 minutes were known to have survived. In November 2006 the National Film and Sound Archive released a new digital restoration which incorporated 11 minutes of material recently discovered in the United Kingdom. The restoration now is 17 minutes long and includes the key scene of the Kelly's last stand. However, a copy of the programme booklet has also survived, containing both extracts from contemporary newspaper reports of the capture of the gang, and a synopsis of the film, in six 'scenes'. The latter provided audiences with the sort of information later provided by intertitles, and can help historians imagine what the film may have been like.
In 2007 The Story of the Kelly Gang was inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register for being the world's first full-length feature film.
Among the surviving images are two scenes that suggest considerable sophistication for that time. The scene of the police shooting parrots in the bush skillfully positions the shooter in the middle ground to the left of the image, firing upwards toward the far right, with the gang watching him from close foreground. The capture of Ned is shot from the viewpoint of the police, as Ned advances, an impressive figure weaving towards them under the weight of his armour and the shock of the bullets.
In June 1880 Ned courageously made his last stand. Surrounded by police and trackers at the Glenrowan Inn, Ned and the Kelly Gang wore suits of armour made from steel weighing a heavy 40 kilograms. Ned had planned every step. There were at least 20 people inside the Inn at the time but they slowly made their way out the back door when all lights were out. Many were shot thinking it was The Kelly Gang but all men were inside at the time.
Making their way back inside the hotel numerous amount of times to reload their guns they were shot but not enough to kill them yet. Joe Byrne died inside the Hotel due to a bullet hitting him in the groin towards his right leg. At only 19 Dan Kelly died inside the hotel along with best friend Steve Hart. Police found them after the hotel had burnt down with many bullet wounds to their body, with their head pieces off.
Prepared to fight, Ned stepped out and gave it his best shot. He managed to escape through the police lines but returned a number of times ready to fight. Soaking in blood he didn't give up.
The first showing was in Melbourne at the Athaneum Hall on 26 December 1906 to much controversy. Many groups at the time including some politicians and the police interpreted the film as glorifying criminals and in Benalla and Wangaratta the film was banned in 1907, and then again in Victoria in 1912. The film toured Australia for over 20 years and also showed in New Zealand and Britain. The backers and exhibitors made "a fortune" from the film.

Yoshikado Visiting the Old temple at Soma
This triptych captures a popular climatic scene from the kabuki stage. The warrior Taro Yoshikado appears at a temple before a frog sage to ask for supernatural powers to avenge the murder of a warlord. Princess Takiyasha, the daughter of the deceased warlord, lives in hiding at the temple, honing her powers for the same purpose. She appears at the center, releasing a ghost from a chest. In this early work by Kunichika, the influence of Kunisada is clearly evident, particularly in the stylized treatment of the faces.

Ignoring someone you like?
Ignoring someone you like? Guys, this one's for you. Do you ever purposely ignore a girl your into just to see how she reacts? If you do, why??... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I would never do that to someone I care about. Right now I am being ignore by the person I planned to spend my life with, we used to look at different places we wanted to live after we got married one day. It hurts me being ignored more than if she said she just didn't love me anymore. I don't know how someone can disconnect there feelings from going from planning post marriage and future life events with a person to cutting them out of there life completly out of the clear blue.
There are days I feel fine and then there are days where I sit thinking what I could of done to deserve this. Where we went wrong and there are days I feel like I rather be dead knowing I had something so amazing and so great and that it was just tooken from me. I try to make contact with her but the longer I go without hearing from her I figure she is getting farther and farther from the time she said she loved and cared about me. It's to the point now where even if we did get back together I don't think it could ever be the same because I would always know she could abruptly ignore me again.
What Guys Said 7
I'm 17, and a male.
Personally I would normally not ignore someone I have feelings for. Although there is this girl, we had a thing and even went to prom of 2009.
It started out as her friend suggesting to me that I should ask her to prom, I thought she was pretty cool at that time so I did. We went to the prom and we both enjoyed ourselves and were happy. That summer I didn't make any efforts to contact her, because I wanted to give her space and take things slow, and for the fear I was moving away.
After the summer ended, I didn't move away and we did end up hanging out a few times during the summer. She went to a school-sponsored camp that summer also. In december of 2009, I asked her out after talking to the same friend of hers (I know she had a thing for me at that time for sure), we went out and 2 days later she dumped me. About a month later I found out that another friend of hers had feelings for me and started to treat her very bitterly and she dumped me because of that. We kinda had an on-off type of relationship for the next few months, until late May came along, and she confessed to me that she had feelings for another guy she met at her camp, and had for a few months but apparently did not tell me due to not wanting her father to find out.
Of course I took this the wrong way at the time and was under the impression she used to me hide her secret, but it turns out her Father had thought I was a nice kid and was pressuring her into dating me (which I guess eventually turned her against me). Things were kind of the same between us the next few months after we explained stuff to each other better and more clearly.
After summer of this year, I've attempted several times to keep in touch with her, but she's started avoiding and ignoring me. Now it almost seems like she purposly flirts with other guys in front of me to try and make me jealous, so for the past month or so I've been starting to ignore her more and try to move on (I come from a rural area, not many girls to pick from :S). Since then she's started to try and flirt with me several times, but still ignores me on places such as Facebook and such. I sent her a message asking her if I did anything that turned her against me or such, and she said that I never did anything. She won't talk to me about why she's been acting like this or anything, so I just kind of gave up.
So yeah, ignoring someone in my opinion will get someone's attention, but also could hurt them in the process. I'd personally call it giving them space, but some people are just weird and won't explain anything. It may work for some people, but if they truly have feelings for you, I doubt they'd enjoy that too much.
What Girls Said 11
The only reason why I've ignored a guy in the past is because I REALLY REALLY liked him and was too nervous to acknowlege him. So, my shyness may have come across as "aloofness". If I didn't like him like that at all it would be easy for me to look at him, talk to him, approach him, etc.
I usually only "ignore" guys when I'm really nervous/shy to talk to them because I like them a LOT and either I"m not sure how he feels about me, or I sense that he's not that interested in me anyway. :-/
But I never just ignore guys on purpose to be mean, or just to see how he will react. That's stupid IMO, and playing games.
Wow! You couldn't of said it any better! lol I do the same things with girls all the time! Weird huh?
You are both seeing other people? Well I would not make a move until I found out how serious he was about the other girl. You must not be happy in the relationship you are in if you are interested in this guy. I think the only reason he would ignore you is he could get in trouble if the other girls friends saw him talking to you? But I am starting to understand do guys will ignore if they need space to think.
Ok have you and this guy been on a date yet? If not it might help the guy to make the next move if you show interest in him by talking to him every chance you get. Me and this guy have been on more than 4 dates and now I am ignoring him waiting for him to make the next move so I don't look foolish.
Heck I run from hi . I just am a wreck around him, afraid I guess. Its' funny cause I can talk to him as long as he isn't too close to me. Too close, like walk into my work with him and I run the other way. Other times I see him I start shaking. He has many different effects on me...Sometimes I'm scared, sometimes I start shaking, meaning I get nervous, other times I am confident and have actually been able to touch him.
You and I are two peas in a pod. I do the same exact thing. I can be so confident and then other times I shake like a leaf and studder, its like I have no control over my body. Same guy too. I don't know why I am like this.
Mee too, I don't know how to overcome this
:) That's adorable. Probably not good, but adorable.
Have an opinion?

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - Kristin Blanchette (Sudbury, Mass.) and Jessie Groszkowski (Reisterstown, Md.) scored four goals apiece to lead the University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team to Saturday afternoon's 21-7 America East victory against Binghamton University at the East Gym Complex.
UNH, which scored 20 goals one day earlier at Albany, is now 3-10 overall and 3-0 in America East. Binghamton is 0-9, 0-4.
Blanchette, whose four goals and four points are career highs, gave the Wildcats a 2-0 lead with free position goals at 1:44 and 2:56. Groszkowski then scored at 3:32, set up the first of three tallies by Katie Leland (Timonium, Md.) 13 seconds later and struck again at 4:16 to quickly extend UNH's advantage to 5-0.
The Wildcats went on to score the first 11 goals of the game - in a span of 10:55 - before Bearcat Laura Gabbamonte (three goals) scored at 12:35. UNH retained control of the game, however, and took a 14-3 lead into halftime. The home team never trimmed the deficit below 11 goals in the second half.
Sarah Cahill (Lexington, Mass.) matched her career high of three goals and also had two assists to establish a career-high five points and Renne Nemmers (Englewood, Colo.) scored two goals to give the 'Cats five multiple-goal scorers. Single-goal scorers for the 'Cats were Jill Albee (Pembroke, N.H.), Nicole Evans (Scituate, Mass.), Kelly Blaney (Stony Brook, N.Y.), Lura Dosdall (Wellesley, Mass.) and Jen Smith (Marshfield, Mass.). Dosdall also had two assists to finish with three points while Albee, Evans, Smith and Blaney were credited with one assist each. The goal by Evans marked her first career point. Bronwyn Leto (Oswego, N.Y.) finished with two assists.
UNH starting goal Danielle Martin (Ellicott City, Md.) played the first half and Julie Bevad (Sea Cliff, N.Y.) went the final 30 minutes. Both goalies were credited with three saves. BU goalkeeper Allison Steinberg made six saves.
Groszkowski, who is the school's career leader in goals with 161, finished the game with six points (4-2-6) and is now No. 2 on UNH's all-time points list with 185.
UNH returns to action April 25 vs. Stony Brook. Game time at Memorial Field is 3:30 p.m. The regular season concludes April 27 (1 p.m. at home against Boston University.

Taking A Roadtrip As A Family, Takes The Right Vehicle!Written by lyricsmama on August 20, 2012 – 9:12 PM -
As you saw from my first post of our summer vacation, we were able to take a long with us another guest, the 2013 KIA Sorento, as you can see we had some packing issues, but once those were resolved and we were on the road, we were alllll good!
We spend the night in Georgia on our way to Florida, the 2013 KIA Sorento held up well with three adults, and 1 child and our luggage. My best friend occupied the back second row seat along with my youngest daughter, as my oldest daughter decided to tag along and ride with her grandparents. They had lots of room, and were very comfortable back there, even with my daughters booster seat.
The weather was HOTTER than HOT, but we were riding comfortably all the way to Florida and back thanks to the Sorento's great air conditioning, that we could each set the temperature for as well, if I wanted it colder, and hubby wanted it not so cold, we could fix that with the dual climate controls.
All of the controls were right at your fingertips, from the windshield wipers, turn signals, Bluetooth, radio and cruise controls, everything within the drivers reach, so I never felt like I was trying to 'navigate' through the car to find things. I also loved that there were 2 preset's that were able to be set for the driver's seat. So, when I drove, I'd just hit the #1 and the seat, steering wheel, and side view mirrors were all set to where I set them when I was driving. If hubby was in the drivers seat, he'd simply press #2 and all settings would be for his preference. This was excellent since we're very different in size. Another amazing thing about heading to Florida in the Sorento…. Cooled seats! That's right, the drivers and passengers side seating had the ability to be cooled, or heated! The lumbar support was also great for the long ride.
As with most car's these days, the 2013 KIA Sorento has a keyless entry and push button start. The satellite radio kept us alive during the ride. While the kids enjoyed Radio Disney on the way down, on the way back, us adults got to listen to some hits from the 90s and today on a variety of different XM and Sirus stations. Having the ability to contact our parents driving in the other vehicle was also made easier by the hands free connectivity with Bluetooth. An easy "Call Mom" after hitting the button instantly dialed them and connected them to us.
We used the GPS a few times while in Florida, it was very easy to use once we punched in the address we needed, and it gave directions clearly.
I loved the option of the 3rd row once we were unpacked. We were all able to go a lot of places with everyone together in one vehicle, however, it's probably also one of my least favorite things about the car (if you remember our packing situation at first), if you need a 3rd row, and also need trunk space, I'd probably skip the Sorento, you just can't have both.
Gas mileage was decent for a mid size SUV. We averaged about 26 MPG on the highway, which is what I expected. We didn't do a whole lot of city driving so I couldn't really give you a good gauge on if the 20 MPG city they claim the Sorento does is accurate or not.
The 2013 KIA Sorento is a great car! For a family of 4 it's perfect, any larger, I'd be a little weary about it because of the trunk space or lack there of. Take a peek at the video below to check out the interior.
We had a great time on vacation, and with the KIA Sorento, if I had the chance, would I drive it again? Own it? Take one on vacation? Probably, even with the space issues aside it drove well, kept us comfortable and got us to where we needed to be all in one space! See what the girls thought below.
You can visit the KIA website to find specifications about the 2013 KIA Sorento or to find a local KIA dealer near you where you can test drive and check one out in person.

Family Vacation – Day 1Written by lyricsmama on August 9, 2012 – 9:23 AM -
5am alarm… Time to get up!! Time to load up the 2013 KIA Sorento with our luggage and we're on the way, except there's one problem….SPACE!!!
The KIA Sorento comes equip with 3rd row seating, however, small, but easily my two kids could fit back there, the only downfall, is that with 3 adults, 2 kids and a dog, lifting up the 3rd row, means loosing trunk space. Unfortunately with the Sorento you need to decide, do you want the extra seating, or do you want the trunk space. With the 3rd row up for seating, all I could get into the trunk area was a case of pop, 2 reusable grocery bags, and some shoes. That wasn't going to fly!
We had decided that since the 2013 KIA Sorento does have roof racks, we'd store all of our luggage on top, but my oldest daughter fixed the situation for us by asking to ride with her Grandparents! GREAT!! The 3rd row can stay down, and now we have PLENTY of trunk space for all of our luggage. The 2nd row bench fits my youngest daughter in her booster seat, my dog in the middle and one adult (my best friend) on the end. Lots of room for everyone!
Gas along the way wasn't too bad, the highest we've encountered so far was $3.49, to fill up, the 2013 KIA Sorento at that price is probably about $55. I've been keeping the car topped up whenever we see a cheap price though so no real fill up for me, close but not to empty. Although it's been pretty hot and humid outside, everyone in the Sorento has been nice and cool! The back seat has their own A/C, the front seat has their own A/C and even the passenger can adjust their own setting so if hubby is too hot or too cold, he can change his side while I enjoy the cool breeze at my set 70 degrees.
We headed out on the road, for an almost 12 hour ride. Florida the destination, and being 18 hours away, we decided we should stop for the night, so we made plans to stop in Locust Grove Georgia at the Red Roof Inn. Where I'm now writing you from. The Red Roof Inn was chosen because they're pet friendly!! They accept all pets, any size for NO EXTRA FEE!! And this is a NexGen Red Roof Inn meaning it's been renovated and its BEAUTIFUL!
It's 5am, everyone's asleep, and I'm awake… maybe I'm just excited because today, we make the 7 or so hour trek down to Florida and start our Disney Vacation!!!! A 12 hr drive alone, you'd think I'd be tired out of my mind. Its been a smooth comfortable ride though, and I'm ready to head out and start my day! Onward to Florida for some Disney Fun, Sun and maybe all the adults will get to play some Gala Bingo while we're down there, Florida is infamous for Bingo games isn't it? My mom would be thrilled as it's one of her guilty pleasures…
Wish us luck and safe travels, we're on our way!!!

KIA Has Won Over My Heart With Their Optima Hybrid! #KiaTestDriveWritten by lyricsmama on June 26, 2012 – 12:20 AM -
As you know from my previous posts here, and here, I recently had the chance to test drive the 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid for a week. Now, I have been reviewing different vehicles for a few years now, and I can say that the KIA Optima Hybrid is by far my favorite so far.
Hybrids normally have the reputation of being small little cars, nothing like a sedan or family vehicle, that is until KIA moved into the spotlight with their Optima Hybrid. This 4 door sedan fit my family like a glove. Normally we have a few issues, my husband being 6'1" and my oldest daughter with legs that go on forever, she a lot of the time doesn't have the room she needs if she's sitting behind him. Not an issue at all in this vehicle. They both have a ton of leg room, head room and space between them.
Gas mileage is phenomenal! For the majority of my time with the Optima I did a lot of city driving. My normal routines, what I fell in love with…Even with city driving, it took me almost a week for my gas gauge to go below FULL!
We decided to take the KIA Optima Hybrid on a little road trip, about a 3 hour drive to Muncie Indiana where we used to live, and where my oldest was born. I wanted to take it on a highway trip just to see how we would do on gas. About ½ hr into our trip, my gauge finally went to below a full tank. The three hour trip there and then another 3 hours back, even with using the A/C all the way, it left me at about a ½ tank, much better than what my Sebring would have done for us.
The trip was comfortable for everyone, lots of room, and with the XM Sirius radio, the kids were entertained for a while with Radio Disney, and we were entertained for a while with our favorite station The Heat.
Check out the video below to get a peak at what I had to drive around for the week with the 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid….
The electric battery for the car is in the trunk, however, it doesn't mean lack of trunk space. The trunk is very deep and we were able to get groceries in and out without a problem.
With the touch screen menu in the car, you can also sync your cell phone, which is perfect when driving and you have the controls right on the steering wheel as well, hands free, no fumbling around trying to make a phone call and putting your safety in danger. The car also has built in navigation, and you can even see how eco friendly your car is being! There are settings on the screen where you can view how your car is working while your driving as well.
Everything in the car is mainly digital, my only real complaint about the KIA Optima Hybrid is something small and petty and probably most people wouldn't even notice. Your left and right blinkers, VERY hard to hear when your in the car, meaning that if you turn left and it doesn't automatically shut off, it might be a while before you notice your blinker is on (one of my big pet peeves).
The KIA Optima Hybrid also has climate control for both the driver and passenger, so if you're hot and your passenger is not, turn up your side of the air conditioning! Heated AND Cooling seats are also included on the driver and passenger side, as well as two A/C Adapters and a port for USB and your iPod.
The ride itself is smooth and QUIET!! If you've never driven a hybrid before, when the electric battery kicks in, you might think the car stopped or stalled out, that's how quiet it is. Love it!
I could go on for days about how much I love the KIA Optima Hybrid. If you're in the market for a new family vehicle this is definitely one to check out, find your local KIA dealer and go check them out for yourself, take a test drive, even if your not in the market right now, it can be something to keep in the back of your mind for a future purchase, I know it's in the back of ours….

A View Of The 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid From My Kids Eyes #KIATestDriveWritten by lyricsmama on June 22, 2012 – 9:13 AM -
Last week we had the chance to check out the 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid. I must say, this is an amazing family vehicle! Being a hybrid alone keeps this car on my radar, it took us almost a week for the gas gauge (which is digital) to come down from a full tank, and that's with mostly city driving.
My worry with this vehicle was that would be be roomy enough for a family of 4 to travel comfortably in? It sure was! Compared to some other hybrids which seem smaller in comparison, and nothing I would really consider as a family vehicle, the KIA Optima Hybrid exceeded my expectations.
My full review will be along in a few days, but as always, my girls have to have their say when it comes to items we review, and cars are no exception. Check out some of the features my girls loved the most, and what they didn't like about the Optima as well, then stay tuned for my full review and tour of the interior in the next few days.

Meet The 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid Deluxe! #KIATestdriveWritten by lyricsmama on June 7, 2012 – 3:52 PM -
It's always an exciting time when I have the chance to test drive an awesome vehicle for a week. This week, I'll be reviewing the 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid Deluxe. I'm super excited about this vehicle, it's not your typical hybrid. Not only does it look amazing, kind of sporty, but it's super roomy and holds a Guinness Book of World Record! Here's the run down on the 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid.
The 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid Deluxe is designed to increase aerodynamic efficiency, to do this KIA has included enhancements such as a lower ride height, unique front and rear fascias, underbody pan, and grill shutters. These few things combined contribute to a lower coefficient of drag, more so than the Toyota Prius.
The KIA holds a 2.4 L hev, 206 HP, 195 lbs of torque engine and gas milage is 35 MPG city / 40 MPG Hwy. With the KIA Optima Hybrid's system when the vehicle stops and the electrical load is low, the engine will cut off which saves fuel consumption as well as cuts emmissions. The KIA's electric motor will kick in no matter what speed your going, which will save fuel on your gasoline engine by expending less energy as well as emitting fewer pollutants through the exhaust. As with other hybrid vehicles any time the breaks are applied the regenerative breaking system (RBS) will charge the battery.
The wheel size on this vehicle is 215/55R17, you'll also find 11.8" vented disc brakes and comes with mud and snow all season tires. This vehicle also comes with a NHTSA 5 star crash safety rating and is the 2012 IIHS top safety pick along with receiving the US EPA "Smart Way" certification mark. This car is also equip with electronic stability control and an anti-lock braking system, tire pressure monitoring system, dual front advanced airbags, dual front seat mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags in both the front and back row.
As with all other KIA vehicles the KIA Optima Hybrid Deluxe is covered by KIA's comprehensive warranty program which offers consumer protection (see dealer for details). The KIA Optima Hybrid Deluxe is also made in the USA and as I stated above, has set the Guinness World Record for the lowest fuel consumption by gasoline car traveling through all 48 contiguous US states getting nearly 65 MPG over nearly 8,000 miles!
I can't wait to share with you my exact thoughts and review of this vehicle in the upcoming days, stay tuned for my posts, videos and photos of the 2012 KIA Optima Hybrid Deluxe.

Ask Christianbook
Q: whats the difference between paperback and trade paperback
A Paperback is simply a book that has a glued spine and a paper or cardstock outer cover.
Mass Market Paperbacks are distributed the same way newspapers and magazines are. Typically the paper is of poor quality, readily yellowing over time. These books show up in regular book stores but also in nontraditional spots such as airports, drugstores, and magazine stands.
A Trade Paperback is a larger book, often the same size as the hardback original. Typically the paper is of better quality than in the Mass Market books. Sometimes, even the text on the pages is exactly the same as that of the hardback copy, especially if put out by the same publishing house. Their price is higher than that of an MMPB but less than a hardback.

Fashion accessories fall-winter 2012/2013: scarves for women
All sorts of scarves for women that is relevant to this season of color and shape are undeniable proof that fashion accessories are not only beautiful, but also comfortable.
During stoles have long been well established title sign accessory that, warming us from the cold and wind, at the same time complements our image and gives it complete.
Knitted scarves for women
Most fashion gurus offer wrap up the season in a beautiful knitted scarves for women, because today it is simply must-have. Most importantly, do not forget the key installation this winter: a scarf for anything in the world does not have to be boring!
Therefore, designers have created a collection of stoles of all colors and shades. Most actual colors are green, black, chocolate, mustard, purple, red, blue, and shades of gray. In addition, the trend lines are considered to be multi-colored stoles and models, decorated with prints all kinds: ethnic, which used Kira Plastinina at the latest collection, geometric, striped or polka-dotted. Preference of many fashion gurus – large knitted scarves for women.
The length of your scarf, you can choose yourself, as long as it was sufficiently wide and deep. For example, Marc Jacobs created a number of extremely large knitted scarf-like wraps, the length of which is hardly enough to completely wrap the shoulders. These scarves for women he proposes to fix the huge decorative pin. And to create an unusual image of the multi brand Marc Jacobs, recently introduced a new flavor DOT, wraps up his mannequins at once in two scarves. As the world famous brand Mulberry, he presented to the public for extremely long scarf decorated with lush fringe.
These winter accessories made of colored yarn, the brand offers a wrap around his neck, and then attach a thin elegant sash around the waist. Other well-known brands such as Cacharel and Kira Plastinina , added with a little scarf romanticism and sensuality in the images they created. Cacharel, which will soon be replaced by the concept, offering my scarf playful bows to the side, and Kira – wrap up yourself in the gentle and lovely scarves, are fully embroidered with small white beads. All the designers this season have converged on the view that mandatory decoration winter stoles this season are a variety of brushes, pompons and other original features. Do not forget about stoles embossed binding. No doubt you will like dark green scarf Monika Chiang stoles or the color of dark chocolate from Marc Cain.
Snudy also not out of fashion LIC, or scarf-pipe which is simply indispensable in the frosty winter days. The thing is that he is not only virtually windproof, but also can be used as a cap. This winter, give preference to large pipes, stoles knitted or models with a variety of patterns (knobble, Xhosa), and a very wide scarf that can easily wrap several times around the neck. Stylish scarves, pipes can be found in almost every collection presented this winter. Marc Jacobs offers an incredibly voluminous Snudy that completely cover the shoulders, something similar can be found in the collection of Helmut Lang , and Nonoo and Alice + Olivia stopped at a small, but despite this, very cozy LIC major breeding. As for the democratic brands, which include H & M and Vero Moda, a campaign which starred Alexa Chung , they opted for bright color LIC every possible length and binding. Besides LIC knitted, fashion brands also offer scarves leather, fur, or even chiffon.
Scarves baktusy
Scarf-baktus not losing its leading position from last season, and it's safe to say that this model will be one of the most popular this winter. These original scarves for women, shaped like a triangle, a number of benefits that cannot be underestimated: the relevance, convenience, versatility, allowing these stoles can easily fit in any way.
The trend this season – colorful baktusy supplemented pompoms or tassels. Tippets Volume stoles made of jersey and strongly reminiscent of stoles are also relevant accessories winter 2013. Preference is given to long and wide models. These world-famous brands such as Vivienne Westwood, Mara Hoffman, Nicholas K, as well as many others in the fashion world claim that bright knitted stoles you'll not only be the most stylish and compelling, but at the same time you will feel comfortable and cozy. Scarves, fur stoles – one of the main trends of the season. Popular are not only bright and colorful, but the pastel-colored models, and leopard print, a trend which has become a star. With regard to the length and shape of the fur, it is not important. This season, any actual fur, whether long or short. In addition, this winter does not matter, your scarf is made of real fur or not.

Who Invented The Guitar?
Posted In: Music & Sports.
The most commonly used instrument known to mankind would have to be that of the guitar. It's so widely used and popular not because of any form of elegance but because it's actually extremely easy to pick up and use. None of the music that you hear today, or even yesterday for that matter, would ever sound anything close to what you hear it as had any form of a guitar not been used to push the sound of the track forward. Despite the excessive popularity of the instrument, a question some of even the most renowned musical practitioners have asked is: "Who invented the Guitar?" Well, let's start from the beginning.
Gaetano Vinaccia
The year was 1779, a man of Neapolitan decent who went by the name of Gaetano Vinaccia created the guitar in its earliest form. Of course, the reason he made this new device was because his family was already known greatly for their crafting of mandolins and he wanted to try something a little different with the mandolin formula. So in reality, this guitar was actually a mandolin in its first stage of play.
Antonio Torres Jurado
It wasn't until the 1850's that this new "mandolin" would start to become its own instrument when a man named Antonio Torres Jurado, from Spain, would add on his own attachments to the instrument to help differentiate itself from the mandolin name and become its own thing, known as a guitar. Therefore, Spain is where the guitar was first noted as being its own instrument and being strikingly utilized to help define the Spanish culture and its musical endeavors.
The electric guitar
Of course, the attachments would not end with Jurado as much later in the year 1936 a man named George Beauchamp would take the same concepts implemented by Jurado but would take it a step further by creating the electric guitar. The electric guitar is what gives songs that very interesting sound you hear so much of all the time in hit material by the world's most popular artists and bands, and believe it or not it all started in a small shop by a mandolin inventor, go figure.
String based instruments: The violin and the piano.

Problem with daylight savings time?
So i think that the US is springing forward timewise tonight at 2am EST. Where I am, it is currently 1:05am... However, my iphone as of right now is reading 12:05 am. If it was automatically adjusting, wouldnt it read 2:05am?
is anyone else having this problem?
At 2am, it should set itself forward to 3am. Never had any issue with any of my Apple devices, either the Macs or the iPods.
i was hoping it would. i just thought that it was weird that it set itself back one hour first, only to jump forward two hours at 2am?
I am in Maryland, so Eastern Standard Time. My iPhone is still displaying 1242am, despite the official time being 142am. I was just worried that my alarms will get thrown off tomorrow morning. I might as well just wait the 18 or so minutes to see what the phone decides to do. It just struck me as odd that it jumped back an hour
Problem solved. it jumped forward 2 hours. weird, but i guess it worked out. thanks for help
Not sure, if Apple fixed the DST bug in iOS 4.2. Having a hard time finding it in the release notes of 4.3. Guess, we'll know later into the day.
Verizon iPhones Fell Back an Hour Instead of Springing Ahead
And it looks like some AT&T iPhones took a hit too.
FWIW, the iPhone itself doesn't necessarily control the time on your iPhone, the time in 99% of cases will by synced from your mobile provider's network. So until they update the time on their network, your time on the phone won't necessarily be correct.
Daylight Savings Time is Evil!
A little off topic, but I thought I would take the opportunity to vent. :)
Ok, I'm good until we have to go through this again in Oct.
IMO either leave things alone, or since we have the technology, adjust weekly. Pick a city in each time zone and set it up so every Sunday morning the sun rises at 6:00 am. At least that way our biological clocks wouldn't get so out of whack.
Don't know of anyone that likes getting home from work after dark - especially in the winter. I agree DST all the time.
The biggest argument I heard for changing the time is in the winter months, moving the clock back an hour makes it lighter in the morning which is safer for kids walking to school.
That was a huge part of the argument against expanding DST a few years ago.

Guys would you let your girlfriend have a threesome with another guy?
My boyfriend and I communicate really well about like what turns us on and off and what our fantasies are, etc. He's always saying that he wants to... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
It all depends on your relationship. I personally would be up for it. my girlfriend gets hit on all the time and I've told her if she wants a 3 way with another guy that its cool I just wouldn't want it to be someone we know as there might be an emotional attraction going on as well behind the scenes and that could make things messy down the line. I would say talk to him (after sex) and tell him what you want to do it, perhaps pick up a guy in a club or on craigslist or something. It all depends on if you both agree on it.
What Guys Said 21
It's not easy to answer this question in general.
It is one point to have this or any other sexual fantasy that your boyfriend could not fulfill, but is a complete other point to put it into action.
If you really want to experience this so badly, you should do this, IF otherwise you would regret it the rest of your life.
But I'm not sure, if it's a good idea to ask your boyfriend for this, doesn't matter if he would get involved or not. If you would ask him you should be aware of, what you will do if he says no.
If you are sure he will be okay with this, and/but you will not do it if he is not, then ask him. Otherwise don't do it or do it VERY secretly.
I'm not sure if I would say yes, if my girlfriend would ask me this. But if this is one of her deepest desires I think I would be okay with this, maybe only to prevent that she would regret it her and my lifetime. But in this case I would prefer that she would do it without my knowing. And if I would discover it I would understand her excuse.
You know your boyfriend better then any other, I hope, so you have to choose the right choice.
Have luck!
(Btw, if you do so, maybe you would tell me, how do you liked it. Sometimes fantasy and reality are different, better or worse.)
Personally, I don't know, I would probably do it. Getting the right guy would be a problem. You aren't f***ing one of my friends, that is for sure. But if somehow you could come up with the right guy, I'd be OK with it. If you guys are in to fantasizing and all that, do it. I don't think I would try to quell anything my girlfriend wanted. As long as I was part of it.
Basically, speaking on behalf of the average good guys out there. We unite and say you should be single if you want to do that type of stuff. Period. No ifs no buts. If your sure you want to do it then speak to your boyfriend about it. Just don't be supprised if he dumps you there and then or if he does say yes don't be supprised if this issue comes back to bite you in the arse 6 months down the line.
The Male population
Lol...my boyfriend is a decent understanding guy. he's not so shallow or insecure that he would do what you would do. he would never dump me for asking about something. he's mature and kind and we would talk about it like we have talked about other things. that I already know because I know the kind of man he is. he isn't the type of man who runs away at the mention of something like this. little boys do that not men. anyway I just don't know if he would say yes that's all I'm wondering.
- Show Older Hide Older
Yeah well thank god I'm not dating them right? Age has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I'm only 20 and I've met 40 year old boys. And yes I think running away when your girlfriend tells you something that she hasn't even done yet but would like to do is childish and immature. You want her to lie to you basically. Again. guys like you are not even in the same realm as my boyfriend. Like totally different caliber. It's OK if you think I'm a "slag" I'll sleep at night I promise babe.
Either way I'm not here to argue with you. I wouldn't want my girlfriend to lie to me. I would sit down and discuss it with her and tell her that if she wanted to do stuff like that she would be better off being single. The fact that your getting all defense about this shows your lack of understanding from the point I'm trying to make. Good for you if you have a boyfriend who is willing to share your sexual fantasies with you. I just think you've got replies from the wrong type of men.
Everyone else is right here. It's OK to explore your sexuality with your boyfriend but if you even consider asking him to let you have sex with another man let alone many, don't be supprised if there's a whole in the wall shaped like your boyfriend. And yes I would dump you quicker than you can say "3".
You have no right to ask him if you love him and if he agree's then it quite obvious that your getting your love feelings mixed up with lust.
Sorry to be so blunt but that isn't love and everyone knows it.
So you're saying you wouldn't have a 3 some with 2 girls?
- Show Older Hide Older
Lmao. wow.
I absolutely agree with you, chuckone!
It'd be very, very detrimental to your relationship, no matter what you think at the moment. It's also a bit selfish. I wouldn't even be with a guy that would be fine with me doing that.
Fantasies are great because they can be your secret and they're safe. It's just better for them to stay fantasies sometimes.
I would appreciate that my girlfriend was that honest with me and didn't just go bang a bunch of other guys. I would appreciate that honesty so much that I wouldn't rule it out completely. I would have to have a real long talk with her about it so she understands my feelings on the subject. If it turns out that it isn't for me I would hope that she cared for me enough to not lie and just go do it anyway. If my girlfriend went out and did it anyway I consider that cheating and break up with her. Hope I helped!
Well, if my girlfriend asked me for a threesome, I would say yes probably. But only if we find the right guy (not my friend or hers).
And after that, I would asker to find a girl too, so be prepared for a threesome with another girl.
But if she asked me for a gang bang, that I would say no too. That is a very bad thing to be seeing by a bf...
Why is that ? if you don't mind me asking.
Because seeing her being f***ed by multiple guys at same time is disgusting.
The other guys will have no respect for her and, because I'm her boyfriend, I do care about that and I don't want to see that.
Would you like to see your boyfriend being dominated by 4 or 5 girls at same time?
I would do it but not with a friend or anyone you'd have to be around later - pretty awkward. And make sure there's absolutely no contact of any kind (physical, eye contact, whatever) between the guys. As long as those conditions are met it would be hot seeing my girl s*** another guys d*** and get f***ed in front of me. I don't know about the whole gang bang thing, but her with a couple guys (me being one) is a major turn on. Same as threesome with another chick.
Depends on the guy, if he is comfortable sharing you, other issues like stds etc, and possiiblity of complication if you end up liking someone else more than him, it has happened etc..
Stds wouldn't be an issue. testing. and I wouldn't ever start liking someone just because I had sex with them. I love my boyfriend. I might love sex with another guy but I wouldn't love them like I love my boyfriend. by the way my question was would YOU let your girlfriend do it?
I would dump her within 24 hours of her bringing this up...long enough to round up my gear or move hers into the hallway.
I won't mind Ma girl and her friend with me
- Show Older Hide Older
Wow just for communicating with you? geez lol
Haha das wen is de best
I've actually tired this with an ex of mine many years ago. We've always talked about during sex, how hot and freaky it would be to bring a guy/girl even a couple into the bedroom.
So when we finally put everything together and it was all said and done. I can tell you this, no matter how much your boyfriend loves you... He will never look at you or treat you the same after that.
If you're fantasizing bout sex with other men, even if you don't put a face on them, then something is lacking in your relationship. Maybe he can't get you to that screaming toe curling orgasm or he's not showing you enough attention in general.
Anyway, My mistake was not giving her enough attention and allowing the gang bang. She ended up loving it and if you love something... It's not gunna be a one time thing. She started working late or hanging out with friends from work.
She said she'd never do it again, but I caught her and that was the end of us. I'm not saying it will end your relationship... but there is a very good chance.
What Girls Said 3
My current guy will find guys to do me, because he knows I like the kinky stuff like that. We lead a very open relationship and he has been very happy to watch several of his guy friends work me over and I have enjoyed watching him do other girls. Its a lifestyle and not everyone is good with it, but all you can do is seriously ask your guy friend and see what happens. Good luck and I can tell you that these things you want to do are hot and such a turn on while they are happening to you.
I envy you lol
I know I'm not a Man. But on this topic, I say no Man who truly loves, respects, honours and cares about his Women would ever let another Man have sex with her, let alone see her naked or even think of her in that way. If my Boyfriend even hinted it was OK for me to have sex with other Men I would be worried and I would leave him. If a your man is suggesting that he's OK with it I would really be worried. Open minded or not, it's just wrong!
I disagree. so you think people from cultures throughout history and even today all over the world where polygamy and polyamorous relationships are common don't respect, love, and honor one another? that seems a bit ignorant and uncultured to me (not to mention way too conservative of a view for my taste) but to each is own. love your pic though. jessica alba? she's hot. :)
I totally agree with your answer JayJay. But if she likes being treated like a whore then it's her choice I guess.
Have an opinion?

Not durable at all
Oct 1, 2013 | Posted by | Gender: Male Sport Interest: Triathlon Age: 35-44
Already on my second suit, like other reviews I used mine once...that's right once and the seems tore apart in the calf. Sent the suit back to TYR and after 6 weeks they sent out a new one. When I took that one out of the box it already had a small tear in it. For the PREMIUM price you're paying these suits should be built to last. TYR SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED.
Best or worst part of the story, the second suit that they sent with the small tear in it... I threw out the box, thinking the suit was ok, three months later when I took it out of the plastic wrap to use it for first spring swim I found the tear, TYR WOULDN'T REPLACE IT ! The tags are still on it hanging on a wetsuit hanger in my closet, pretty sure if I try and put it on the small tear in the shoulder seam will open up completely... Horrid quality

Infamous Church to Protest ATL Final Four
The infamous Westboro Baptist Church known for its web domain godhatesfags.com and disgusting funeral protests has found a new target for its hate: The Final Four.
That's why the group will be in Atlanta next weekend to protest the crown jewel of the NCAA tournament that starts on April 6th.
Reads the website:
"The only thing you brutes - players, coaches, fans, and sports media alike - worship more than your nasty sex parts/lives is your sin-riddled over-hyped sports arenas and activities…But you won't go into the Final Four Atlanta orgy-of-gross-drunken-nasty-reveling without being warned by the faithful servants of WBC, with this core message…FAG MARRIAGE DOOMS NATIONS!"
We take it they haven't caught the Florida Gulf Coast fever yet.

With breast cancer being the second leading cause of cancer death in women (according to the American Cancer Society), the center was designed to provide women with the necessary tools to help prevent and fight breast disease. Patients can take care of all their needs in one appointment, including the scheduling of follow-up procedures and appointments.
"Having all services in one facility is an enormous benefit to our patients, allowing them to receive answers and information immediately," said the Center's Director, Arlene Sussman, MD, a breast-imaging specialist and the Director of Winthrop's Breast Health Program in the Institute for Family Care.
Dr. Sussman stresses the importance of breast self-examination and routine mammograms to her patients as one of the best methods for prevention and early detection of breast cancer.
"Mammograms allow us to find the tiniest cancer tumors--and when you're talking about cancer, size does matter. The smaller the tumor, the better the prognosis," stated Dr. Sussman.
The new facility also has an experienced clinical nurse specialist on-site to act as an educator and help guide patients diagnosed with breast disease through the difficult process of taking the next step.
"The Breast Imaging and Diagnostic Suite combines the excellence only an academic center can provide coupled with superior and comprehensive outpatient services," added Dr. Sussman. "The feedback we've received from our patients and the community since we opened our doors has been outstanding."
