Teen Mom
Leah Messer Admits She Considered Leaving Jeremy For Corey!
Our jaws were dropping all over the place during Leah Messer's emotional therapy session with Dr. Drew during Teen Mom 2 Season 3's reunion show on Feb. 11, 2013. Girlfriend was a hot mess, and she basically had an existential crisis about whether she should leave her fiance, Jeremy Calvert, for her ex-husband, Corey Simms.
"Corey and I talk a lot," Leah told Dr. Drew. "We talk more than split up parents talk. We talk like we're best friends still to this day. There's a reason that we talk like that. I'm just saying. I don't want Jeremy mad at me, don't get me wrong."
But, wait — there's more. Leah went on to admit that she'd be willing to leave Jeremy for Corey!
"I could be happy with Jeremy, but I know we would still be a family if he [Corey] would be like, yes I wanna go to counseling," she explained. "And I would be honest with Jeremy and be like, I can't keep going down this road."
Meanwhile, poor Jeremy was all kinds of confused...
"I feel like I'm coming between a family," he said. "Keeping the kids from being happy. Keeping them two from being happy." Leah's response? "I care about you, it's just sometimes I can't get over my family or Corey … I think you know that Corey and the girls would come first. If Corey said yes then I would."
Wow, our hearts our breaking for Jeremy! And the craziest part? He stayed with Leah despite her mixed feelings! The good news? Leah and Jeremy are currently more in love than ever, and recently welcomed a new baby into the family.
"Wow, So much has changed!" Leah tweeted after Teen Mom 2's reunion show, which was filmed almost a year ago in March 2012. "I love where we all stand! I love my husband."
Phew! We were worried for a moment.

It's a popular cliché to say that you wait ages for a bus, and then three turn up at once. But is there any truth to this? Or is it a false impression formed because we notice coincidences more than other events? If true, are there laws governing this behaviour, and are there any natural phenomena that obeythe same principles?

African History
The discovery of "Lucy" in Olduvai Gorge
Africa is the place where people first originated, so African history goes back further than in any other place on earth. At first, about two million years ago, there may have been only about 2000 people in all of Africa (or anywhere in the world), and they lived by gathering wild plants and by scavenging meat that other, stronger animals had killed. About 1.9 million years ago, they began using stone tools, and about 800,000 years ago they began to use fire. Cooking their food on the fire to make it easier to digest may be what gave early people the extra energy to grow bigger brains and become modern people. These first modern people probably started out in south-east Africa.
Around 100,000 years ago, people living in Blombos Cave, on the seaside in South Africa, were gathering shellfish to eat. They may have been making bone fish-hooks to catch fish too.
By about 75,000 years ago, people in Blombos Cave were mixing minerals to make paint and carving abstract designs into blocks of red ochre. They made seashells into beads for necklaces.
Genetic evidence shows that until about this time - sometime after 100,000 years ago - Africa was the only place on earth where modern people lived. Then some people spread out along the coasts, going around the Arabian Peninsula and India and all the way to Australia. Still most people lived in Africa. But at the end of an Ice Age (not the most recent Ice Age but the one before that), people began to drift into West Asia, following the herds of animals.
Around 6000 BC, the climate in Africa (and other places) got gradually hotter and drier. The Sahara Desert was forming again. It was harder to find enough food. Some people in Africa began farming to get more food. They probably got the idea from West Asia.
With farming the population expanded quickly. By 3000 BC, there were so many people in Africa that they started to form into kingdoms. The first African kingdom (and probably the first big kingdom anywhere) was in Egypt, where the Pharaohs built the pyramids. South of Egypt, along the upper Nile river, the kingdom of Kush (modern Sudan) developed too. Kush and Egypt traded with the Babylonians in Western Asia and the Harappans and Aryans in India.
Around 1550 BC, with the establishment of the New Kingdom in Egypt, the Egyptians conquered Kush, and they ruled Kush for the next four hundred and fifty years, until the collapse of the New Kingdom in Egypt around 1100 BC. Then Kush became independent again, and by 715 BC Kush's King Piankhy was able to conquer Egypt.
But soon after this, West Asian people showed North Africans how to use iron to make weapons, and the people who knew how to use iron soon conquered the people who didn't. About 700 BC, the Phoenicians conquered part of North Africa and founded the city of Carthage. In 664 BC, the Assyrians conquered Egypt. The Kushites learned how to make iron from the Assyrians, and they used their iron to become even more powerful than they were before. When the Persians conquered the Phoenicians in 539 BC, Carthage became an independent kingdom that ruled most of the Western Mediterranean.
In the more fertile parts of Africa, the population kept on growing. By 300 BC, the Bantu people, who lived along the Niger river in West Africa, began to get too crowded where they lived. West Africa (now Nigeria and Cameroon) had fertile land in the zone between the Sahara desert and the rain forest, but it was small. Gradually the Bantu began to spread out from their home to other parts of Africa, mainly to the south and east, through the rain forest to the grasslands on the other side. Europe, too, was getting more crowded at this time, and soon North Africa had its second major invasion when the Romans attacked in the 200s BC. The Carthaginian general, Hannibal, terrified the Romans. But in the end, Carthage and the rest of North Africa, including Egypt, had to submit to Roman rule.
During the next several hundred years, southern Africa also saw a lot of political changes. The old kingdom of Kush lost power to a new kingdom to their south called Aksum (modern Ethiopia), who also traded with the Parthians, the Indians, and the Romans. When Roman North Africa converted to Christianity, many Axumites converted too. Some cattle and sheep herders from Central Africa gradually moved south to the grasslands of South Africa, taking their cattle and sheep with them. At the same time, the Bantu kept expanding, and learned how to farm and how to make iron weapons. By the 400s AD, the Bantu had taken over some of the East Coast of Africa and some of the grasslands in southern Africa.

About / Donate
This is my attempt at putting my children's school assignments online. I am writing it to make it available to other families as well. While it has made our school days run very smoothly, my grander goal is to enable other families to homeschool, especially anyone feeling like they couldn't because of time or money pressures. Other families use the curriculum because it gives them confidence in homeschooling. Others use it just because their kids love it! It's easy for mom and fun (yet challenging) for kids.
My children (as of 2015) are 2, 4, 7, 10, 13, 15, so you can see we have plenty of years of schooling ahead of us.
This curriculum is great for anyone who needs/wants to save money or time. As for money, the curriculum is free. The materials are online and free. You will need to have basic school supplies such as paper and pencils, but it requires no books or major supplies. In this way it is also good for those living overseas who have limited means of access to English books. As for time, this is a way for your children to work independently and to free you from planning. There are EP families who are successfully using the curriculum while the parents is working, having health issues, or even in school themselves. If you serve overseas, you don't need to put your kids in school so that you can learn the language; there's another option.
Your children will need access to a computer and the internet and to you! The children are often instructed to tell a parent or older sibling about what they just read. Be available or assign an older child to be available. Occasionally they may come to you and say they earned a high five or a hug. Please oblige! About once a week the kids also get a little something extra, just for fun, tucked into their school day.
This school is intended to be college preparatory. They will read challenging books and will always be reading something. Most of the books are chosen from the Robinson and Ambleside curricula. You can read the book lists and specific course descriptions on the individual course pages.
I have sought to make this curriculum comprehensive, but not intensive. The lessons are short, intended to keep the school day short. At one point I had three children doing school on one computer and they were able to take turns and finish before dinner without a problem. Also, children in the same age bracket (first through fourth -L- and fifth through eighth -M-) can work at the same time on half of their school day. My children spend their extra time reading, writing, exploring, experimenting, programming, drawing, creating, working, doing chores, helping others, and PLAYING!
This is a Christian curriculum. Not everything is overtly Christian, but I do point to the Bible from time to time in literature, science, history, etc. and seek to promote a biblical worldview. I also believe in a literal six day creation. I do choose to use materials that talk about millions of years because it is what's available, and it's useful for our children to know what's taught out there so they can be intelligent in a response to it. I do address it to varying degrees when it comes up.
The school year lasts 180 days because that is my state's requirement. Beyond that I believe children should continue schooling the rest of the year with reading, experimenting, exploring their interests and passions and the world.
I am not going to charge for use of my materials. I believe the Christian community should be about giving and receiving, not buying and selling. If you are using this curriculum, please consider giving a donation.
Also, please consider following the blog (click on "follow" down below on the right-hand side bar) or joining our facebook page (choose "show in news feed") to help me communicate with you. You can also join the Easy Peasy Facebook Group to talk with other families using the curriculum and to get your questions answered.

My Learning to Read Philosophy
When you read, you use sight reading. You don't sound out words. You see them and know what they say. That's how you can read quickly. Phonics is a tool for reading words you don't recognize. I teach my children the letter names and sounds. Then I teach them to read by sight words. Then I teach them phonics. Phonics is simple at that point because they can already read. All of this takes two years. I do this before they start "school" so that they can do "school" more independently and more effectively. All of my children so far are very successful readers and can read faster than I can, I who learned with phonics!
I mostly base my content on what is on my Links to All Things Free for Homeschooler's blog. I formed that as I looked for links for what we were studying for school. Things with materials get studied. I create my own materials if I can't find what needs to be covered. I don't tend to teach though. I let the teaching be done by the online materials. I also follow the broad schedule I established before my firstborn could even walk, a four year rotation through history and science themes. Beyond that I wanted to add that I am careful about what I teach my children and put before their eyes. There are many videos I didn't choose when studying WWII for example because I didn't want those images in front of their eyes, even if they are truth. I also don't study false religion. My children know the basics about it, but you won't find me teaching them about the gods of Ancient Egypt for example. They will know they had a false religion and worshiped other gods, but we don't need to learn all of their names and what they looked like. We live in a land of false religion and don't need any more exposure to it! It's demonic and not something we need to study. It also makes me careful around things like Native Americans and their spirit guides, etc. Not all literature the children will read is pure in every way. But, that's a way to talk about the world and choices and consequences and how we should react in certain circumstances…
My four-year rotation is:
- world history and biology
- early American history and animals
- geography and cultures with some history of each country and earth science
- modern American history and physics and chemistry
I grew up in a Christian home and have been following the Lord since I was 10. I never have had a time where I fell away from the faith. My family and I have been serving the Lord overseas since 2002. I don't talk about it much because we live in a Muslim country. I do not teach any denominational teachings. I believe that denominations fracture the body of Christ, so I consider myself only a member of the body of Christ. I attend a local congregation that doesn't have any denominational ties. I believe in walking in holiness and the fullness of the Spirit. Overseas I've worked with everyone from Baptists to Pentecostals. I cannot be called by any label. I try not to teach too much in the Bible curriculum, but at the same time there are things I want to point out to my own children using this. I try and ask questions and give them the reading to find their own answers, but I can't help myself sometimes. I do and try and hold my tongue when I know its a point where people disagree and have even put in, "Go ask your parents about what this verse means" instead of giving my point of view. There are a couple things I do bring up repeatedly as it comes up in Scripture. I do warn about false teachers (Christian labels and appearance don't automatically mean it's from God) and the occult (supernatural signs don't automatically mean it's from God…) Another thing I teach repeatedly is living by faith. It's something I've learned and am learning. I want my children and yours to know that God's word is true and that they can take Him at His word. It's the main theme as well of the novel I wrote, The King Will Make a Way. God is trustworthy and faithful and by faith He will save us in every sense of the word. Sometimes I've included some of the miracle stories we've experienced. We saw a baby born with no stomach be healed and survive after being given zero chance of survival. (BTW, that baby was born to a family that was Muslim by culture. The whole family came to Christ when the baby was healed and now they lead a fellowship of forty people.)
One final note about the Bible curriculum. I don't have them read everything. For example, when I put up Sodom and Gomorrah they read that it was destroyed because of their great sin, but they don't read the part about what they did, and I stopped before Lot's daughters decide they need his help to continue the family line. You can't avoid it all, I mean, Jacob has twelve sons, but it's not hard to skip over what happened to their sister Dinah.

Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I need! You are being such a blessing to us.
Thank you so much for offering this for free!! I have to go back to work and this will make it so easy to be able to continue to homeschool. Thank you and God bless!
Thank you so much! My daughter is 4 and I'm new to all this. You have made it so much easier. God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much for these plans and resources. I had no idea that some of these existed. I am "homeschooling" my daughter during the summer to fill in what I don't see her getting from the Public School and to keep her mind fresh. This is extremely helpful to have it laid out day by day and with links to all the resources! I have ideas of what I want to teach her and what I want to have her practice but have struggled to know how to actually have a plan for each day, even though I do have my teaching degree.
My daughter will be in 4th grade in the fall. We have done a box curriculum up to this point. She has done an intro into World History. What year would you suggest we start with for her?
I cannot thank you enough for what you have done here! We are not able to spend the money to continue her current curriculum and have spent several weeks looking at free/ cheap curriculum and resources. I "had" to get back on the computer tonight and couldn't explain why. The Lord took me directly to a link on facebook for you! What an awesome God we serve!
this is amazing, thank you!
So excited about this English. HUGE blessing!! How do I join the site and get a password? Starting school on Monday. Just found this and we are switching a few subjucts to this cur.!!!
This is FANTASTIC!! Started "getting ready 1″ with my 2 and 3 year old and "getting ready 2″ with my 6 year old. They LOVE it! I also started doing Khan Academy with my 10 year old and he enjoys it so much he asks for more "playing" time (usually getting him to do his math assignment is like pulling teeth, so this is HUGE!!). I cannot even imagine the amount of time you must've put into this. You are truly a blessing to our family and many others!! May God bless you immensely in return!!
I would love to have the password as well, if that's okay! :)
Thanks so much for all that you have made available. I sent a message in the box above requesting the password. Many blessings to you and your family.
Is there a way to make the McGuffey Reader any clearer? Sometimes we can read it pretty well magnified and other times it is too blurry to read. We are all loving your curriculum! Thank you so much!
Wow!!!! I have been prayerfully searching for a new routine for the last week or so. We are going to be moving out of the country to be full time missionaries and I will no longer have access to libraries. I've been a little stressed thinking about what to do!! I just discovered your site about an hour ago and cannot seem to get away from it. I believe this is my God-send!! You can't even begin to imagine how excited I'm getting the more I read and look over it. I'm so grateful for the hard work you must have put into this!! I will be schooling my 6/7 grade girls and will look forward to the coming grades. Thank you ssooooooo much!!! You're an answer to my prayers.
I just found about about this site. This is amazing!! Thank you for all you have done to help other homeschoolers!!
Oops! My typo! It should have read…I just found out about this site. I'm excited to start using it with my children! What a blessing and answer to prayer for me!
Thank you so much for all the time and energy that obviously went into this. I received a link from one of the forums that I belong to yesterday and when I checked it out I was amazed. My 17yr ds kept saying,"Someone put a lot of effort into this." He was greatly impressed. My 3 yr ds is loving the abc things,he already knows them but he's really enjoying all the videos and the alligator. My ^yr ds started on lesson 172 whispered and wanted to know if you could hear him read the words to you.:) If you do a forum I would love to join.
He was excited that at the 2nd reading that he knew all the words. I'll do the last when I'm done with this. I also wanted to tell you what an added blessing this is for me. Last year. I was in the hospital for 26 days and relied on my 2 wonderful teen boys to take care of the then 5 & 2 yrs. and the house. I'm much stronger now but am on o2 24/7 and some days my energy just isn't there making talking let alone teaching too much. Knowing that this is here has just emotionally takes a burden off of the dreaded what if I get sick again?
Again thank you
What a blessing you are the homeschool community!! Thank you so much for all the time and effort that obviously went into this curriculum.
This is just exactly what I needed!! I honestly cannot thank you enough.
This is an amazing curriculum. I was trying to do this for so long and now I have found someone who has figured it out for me. Thanks! I will pray about this and maybe try it soon. I'm definitely going to add it to my free homeschooling tab on my website.
I can't tell you how excited I am to have found you. I am in the Dominican Republic, and am at my wits end. I work full-time online, and homeschool my 3 girls, my son is done.. and I am so overwhelmed with lack of resources here.. I can't wait! Thank you so much! Thank you, Thank you!!!
Amazing…… Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH, thank you thank you thank you!!! :-) for all the hard work you have done to put this wonderful curriculum together. I have been home schooling for about 9years and it has been a struggle as my oldest has learning delays. I believe this maybe what I've been looking for. I want to jump right in but don't have internet access at my home and need a couple more computers. I know the Lord will provide for these things. thank you again.
I was wondering how the science and history units work? i understand that theres a level l and a level m but its supposed to cover all grades 1-8? so would we go through biology, zoology and chemistry with the younger kids in level l and then repeat the same things only in level m when they are older?
This is great…thank you so much for sharing this information…you have put a great deal of work into this…and I appreciate it so much. You are such a blessing to new homeschool moms;)
I was directed to your site two weeks ago. My 7 yr old son is terribly behind in reading. I told myself that if after Christmas if he was still struggling, I would pull him from school and home school him. Problem was, I had no idea where to start. So I joined a homeschooling community on yahoo for my city and one of the members directed me to this site. Well… let me assure you, that the work you have put into this site has changed the course of one young boy's life. He was floundering. He was being pushed from one year into the next and I had NO idea until this year how little he knows how to read. I went through your site and thought, OK I can do this! But my son was way behind year 2 so I started him Monday on year 1. He really could barely ready Jolly Robin lesson 1. I decided to follow year 1 (Also took my 5yr old daughter out and started her at getting ready 1) she is in Senior Kindergarten (I am Canadian) let him watch what she is watching, and also added extra reading from the reader for getting ready 2. 5 days.. 5 days is all I have done so far for my youngest boy. 5 days, and I was in tears when he finished his lesson today. IN tears. He read day 5 Jolly Robin reader and read MOST of it all on his own, and he didn't fight me at all for the entire day's lesson. AND he worked mostly on his own. The school wanted me to medicate him so he would sit still and listen… when the reality is he was frustrated because he couldn't read. If you have ever wondered why you have gone the extra mile for people you don't know (aka phonics etc.. you have mentioned you have done extra for us), please think of my son youngest son Avery (he is one of 5 brothers and a little sister) because I truly believe you just changed this boy's future by giving me the resources to teach my little boy how to read. Thank you. Thank you. For taking the fear out of home schooling for me and for providing me with the tools to help my son to read.
Thank you for this wonderful site. I've been searching, it feels like forever, for homeschool materials before I start my homeschool for my sons. This is a one stop place and I love it. It's easy to use and most of all you made it available free of charge. You are a true blessing to me. I'm excited to get started with using this material with my sons. Thanks again!!!!!
Should I strive to stay on a 5 day week, having a multiple of 5 as our Fridays? Are your Fridays shorter than other days? Does it make any difference?
Do you have a scope and sequence? I would love to take a look at it so I have a heads up :) Thanks. This site is amazing. I can't believe one person would take on such a huge job for the blessing of others for free. God bless you!
My 5th grader requested modern American history for 6th grade because he wanted to learn about the World Wars and my search for curriculum led me to your site. This is so exciting! Not only is your history just what we were looking for, we are missionaries in Congo and do not have access to bookstores, wal-mart and teacher stores, or libraries. Our internet is often unreliable or extremely poor so I am going to try it in advance this year with just one course to see how feasible it is for us. Thank you for the time and effort you have put into offering this gift to others!
Just wanted to say a few things, First we LOVE easy peasy so much!!! I recommended it to a friend whose daughter loves it and she also recommended it to 2 of her friends who also love it! So thank you, thank you, thank you!! Second I found a website for free piano lessons, my son is taking them and its awesome,(did I mention free?) http://www.freepianolessonsforkids.com Just in case you want to add it :)
I was wondering why their isn't a name for whom created this curriculum….I would like to have a name…and contact info….it would just be great to know who did this and put a picture to curriculum.
Love your website! Just an FYI… recently Google is redirecting your link to an advertisement. The only way I've got around it is to directly type your address in the address bar on internet explorer.

Today was the first official day of the World Cup in Odaiba Bay, Tokyo. The cable park is located almost directly in the city center. The backdrop is amazing; there are giant bridges and buildings everywhere. This cable is unique in the sense that it is on an open bay, so there is a high tide and a low tide. The difference is approximately two meters, or six feet, which is a lot regarding the distance from the cable to the water. Six feet makes a huge difference in what air tricks riders can pull off.

Jennifer Sanford, M.S., LMFTMFC#53158
Jennifer Sanford is a marriage and family therapist and a respected
business coach. She specializes in finding one's happiness and peace whether it be within the life of the individual,
within a relationship or within a family. Her experience and training allows her the insight necessary to work with
individuals, couples and families.
well rounded insight and experience includes working for fifteen years in the Financial Industry, founding two successful
businesses and obtaining her Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Her experience of the business world gives
her added insight in to the dynamics that take place at work which often tag along through the front door of the home, knowingly
or unknowingly (or vice versa).
nature is one of compassion. She is skillful and empathic when working with clients. Jennifer believes that individuals and
families already have the answers, but not always the permission or roadmaps, to change or to discover new ways of being.
Her deep passion stems from her belief that within all people rests the innate ability to heal.
Her therapeutic views have been influenced by teachings of Western
therapists and have been inspired by the contemplative, mindfulness-based approaches of the East. The mindfulness-based approach
emphasizes one's awareness of the present moment through meditation and attention-focusing exercises. The art
of mindfulness is a critical ingredient which allows us to be more present in our day-to-day connections with ourselves, those
we love and care for and those we cherish.
She works with her clients to help them feel more empowered to create and nurture the lives and relationships they
want for themselves and were meant to lead. Jennifer is constantly amazed and humbled by the courage, adaptability and uniqueness
of each person's story. She considers it a privilege to be a therapist and respects the tenacity of the human spirit
to guide the individual towards wholeness.
Common themes
which inspire individuals to come in for therapy are:

The windmill was one of a pair, as there was a smock mill built alongside in 1797. This mill had the tallest smock tower in the United Kingdom. The mill collapsed in 1960.
Outwood Windmill (TQ 328 456 ) was built for Thomas Budgen (1640–1716) in 1665. The original deed for its erection is still in existence. Thomas Budgen borrowed the money to finance the building of the windmill from two of his brothers-in-law. He was able to repay them within two years. The builders of the mill are traditionally said to have watched the Great Fire of London glowing in the distance, some away. In 1678, Thomas Budgen was convicted under the Convecticle Act as a seditious preacher, and fined £20.
John Budgen took the mill on his father's death, and in 1715 was paying Quit Rent on the mill, a malthouse and a brick kiln. John Budgen died in 1765 and the rent was paid by his widow until she died in 1768, when Ezekial Budgen took the mill. Ezekial Budgen was involved in a quarrel with his brother Isaac, which led to William Budgen (Ezekial's nephew) being granted a piece of land in near the mill in 1796 with liberty to erect a windmill upon it. By 1806, the mill was in the possession of John Jupp. William Jupp took the mill sometime before 1880 and ran it until he died in 1934. In 1929, the Windmill Section of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings recognised the mill as "of paramount importance". A new pair of Spring sails were needed in 1931. The Society paid for Thomas Hunt, the Soham millwright to make and fit these at a cost of £80. William Jupp agreed not to sell the mill for demolition as a condition of the work being done. Publicity generated at the time led to an increase in orders at the mill. On 30 October 1931, a meeting was held to appeal for funds to replace the older pair of sails. Hilaire Belloc, who at the time owned Shipley windmill in Sussex, was the main speaker. Sir Joseph Rank was one of the subscribers. In 1933, a pair of sails was purchased secondhand These had previously been on the Black Mill, Forncett End, Norfolk, which had been demolished in September 1932. These replaced a pair of sails that had been on the mill for in excess of sixty years. William Jupp died in 1934.
Stanley Jupp then took the mill. In the 1930s, the mill was little used, and started to deteriorate. Plans were drawn up for further restoration, but were postponed due to the war. Milling ceased at Outwood in 1949 when the breast beam cracked and the windshaft dropped causing the sails to touch the roundhouse roof. Temporary repairs were made by millwrights E Hole & Son of Burgess Hill, followed by extensive repairs, including a new breast beam and prick post, in 1952. One of the sail stocks was found to be defective in 1955 and a new pair of spring sails was fitted. A grant of £750 from the Ministry of Works being given to enable the work to be carried out, on condition that public access would be given on appointment. The older of the two stocks broke in January 1956. E Hole & Son fitted a new stock and sail on 25 October 1958. William Jupp ran the mill until 1962. In the autumn of 1962, the mill was bought by the Thomas brothers.
On 12 June 1964, the mill was caught in a severe thunderstorm. The mill was tailwinded, and only saved when the new owners turned the mill so that the wind was side on to the mill. In 2003, the mill was offered for sale, with a price tag of £600,000.
On 24 November 1796, William Budgen was granted leave to erect a windmill on a plot of land near the post mill. The smock mill was run by the Budgen family until 1885 when Edward Scott, of Woolpits Mill, Nutfield bought the lease of the mill for £1,225. The mill was later worked be Edward's son, and in 1903 one of the sails broke whilst the mill was at work. It was worked with only two sails until 1914, assisted by a portable steam engine as necessary. In 1950, the preservation of the mill was proposed. A survey undertaken in 1953 showed the mill to be suffering from rot to the cant posts and sills at the south west side (facing the prevailing weather) and the cost to be prohibitive. The mill collapsed in the early hours of 25 November 1960.
Outwood Smock Mill, also known as High Mill, was a tall smock mill of five storeys, with a stage at first floor level. It was built on a low brick base less than high. The cant posts were long, and the mill stood high to the top of the cap. This made it the tallest smock ever built, although not the tallest smock mill (Outwood windmill is currently not open to the public.

Missing premed Indian boy found – drowned
September 25, 2012 in Community News, Email Newsletter
Earlier From: Huffington Post – A Northwestern University pre-medicine student vanished after an off-campus party on Saturday, and the college has declared his disappearance an emergency.
Harsha Maddula, 18, was last seen leaving the party on Ridge Avenue in Evanston, Ill., at 12:30 a.m., the Chicago Tribune reports…
Family members said he's never gone missing before and that he's a sharp-witted straight-A student. Partygoers said he left the gathering with three or four people, and wasn't visibly intoxicated, according to the Daily Northwestern. So far, there's no indication of foul play, cops told the paper.
The group eventually arrived at another off-campus party before realizing they lost Harsha on the way. It is not clear how Harsha separated from the group while traveling between the two locations, which are less than eight minutes apart by foot.
Harsha called Weinberg sophomore John Kim at 12:10 a.m. Saturday and asked where Kim was. Kim replied he was still at the party on Ridge Avenue and Harsha said he was "going to see if he could make it over there," Kim said.
Friends say PARC president Linzy Wagner, a Weinberg sophomore, called Harsha at about 12:35 a.m. and asked where he was. Harsha told her that he was back in his room at PARC, which was not true according to UP. This was the last known contact from Harsha. The friends contacted UP around 6:45 p.m. later that day.
Latest News: His body was found in the Harbor. Our deepest condolences to Maddula family! RIP!

French police get Megane RS
Renault has delivered 70 Megane RS models to the boys in bleu for 'rapid intervention'
Posted: 16 Feb 2011
Fancy your chances against the Gendarmerie, mon amie? Well, better be packing some heat, because now French rozzers have got the Megane RS. Seventy of 'em.
They've opted for the 'Chassis Cup' version complete with 18s and a limited slip diff, while the engine was tweaked to meet their 'specific needs'. Yikes.
Durisotti, an approved Renault coachbuilder, strapped in the special police equipment, and as you can see, the result is pretty cool.

Content Marketing: Encouraging sales and upsells at the point of purchase
Many marketers think of content marketing as a top-of-the-funnel activity. This could include a video to build brand awareness, or an e-book to grow the email list.
But what about using content to encourage sales and upsells at the point of purchase?
On a recent trip to Maine, I came across a great example of point-of-purchase content marketing, although I'm not sure the content's author would have labeled it as such.
How to eat a lobster
This is a great example of where point-of-purchase content marketing can help: when you have a product that novice customers might not know how to use.
For a tourist who has never eaten a lobster, a placemat like this could be the tipping point between:
- Buying the less expensive (and easier to eat) lobster roll or lobster meat salad or something more familiar like a steak
- Buying the premium-priced product with the higher margin – lobster
No one wants to order a lobster (or any product) and look like a fool because they don't know how to eat it. They are less likely to order because they don't see the value in it.
That's why this placemat is true content marketing, by my definition. This isn't an overt sales piece; it was executed in a way that teaches someone how to do something.
Even for myself, as I have eaten a lobster before and was going to order one anyway, it helped me enjoy it more as a refresher for exactly how to eat the lobster since it had been a few years since I've eaten one.
Opportunities for point-of-purchase content marketing
The great opportunity for point-of-purchase content marketing is this:
When a customer needs to be taught about the product to make a
decision that is better for them.
This likely falls into two major buckets: product education and product differentiation.

ELIZABETHTON — Car burglaries are often difficult crimes to solve, but the Elizabethton Police Department was able to make a quick arrest recently when the suspect allegedly used credit cards taken from the burglaries to make a couple of purchases just a few miles and a few hours from the scene of the crime.
Joshua Carriger Oliver, 19, 1615 Burgie St., was arrested by Officer Ryan Brackett on one count of possession of stolen property and two counts of illegal possession/ fraudulent use of a credit card. He is scheduled to answer the charges in Sessions Court on Sept. 26.
Brackett's investigation began when he was called to 213 Parkway Blvd., on reports of burglaries of vehicles belonging to Summer Hughes and Albert Williams sometime between 4-7 a.m. Friday. During his investigation, Brackett learned that a credit card stolen from one of the vehicles had been used at the Holiday Market, 2226 W. G St.
Brackett said the card had been used at 7:47 a.m. Friday to make purchases of $54.33 and $3.29. A store surveillance camera recorded the transaction and the receipt was signed by Joshua Oliver.
When Oliver was questioned, Brackett said a Best Buy credit card taken from the car burglary was found in Oliver's possession.

YOUNG gamers rejoice - video games may not necessarily make you fat. A study of schoolchildren in the US suggests the pastime is not driving childhood obesity.
Previous studies of adults and those in their late teens have found that playing video games and watching TV is linked with a slightly higher body mass index (BMI) than non-gamers and those who watch less TV than average, supporting the common view that "screen time" - a sedentary activity - contributes to obesity.
A team at Michigan State University in East Lansing selected a group of 482 12-year-olds and followed them for three years. Parents and children responded to six waves of surveys covering each child's internet use, how much they played video games and how often they used a cellphone. Parents were also asked about their children's exam scores, height, weight, race and socioeconomic status, while the kids were tested in reading, mathematics, visuospatial recognition and self-esteem.
The team found that while video games were used more than the internet and cellphones, none of these activities predicted a child's weight or BMI. Instead they found that race, age and socioeconomic status were the strongest predictors (Computers and Human Behavior, vol 27, p 599).
The researchers also found some benefits of technology use: children who used the internet more had higher test scores in reading. Those who played more video games had better visuospatial skills, though also lower school grades and lower self-esteem.

Tis the Season for Cooler Weather
in Central Alabama...
As part of normal procedure, the National Weather Service in Birmingham issues frost advisories and freeze watches and warnings to coincide with the end of the growing season in the fall and the beginning of the next growing season in the spring. On Thursday, November 25th, Thanksgiving Day, we will end the issuance of frost advisories, as well as freeze watches and warnings for the fall season. These products will resume on or after March 15th.
Hard freeze watches and warnings will still be issued when temperatures are expected to be 15 degrees or colder anywhere in Central Alabama. These watches and warnings will be issued with the normal heading of NPWBMX.
With the fact that Central Alabama has only experienced one or two locations with freezing temperatures this year, we thought we'd take a minute to review some statistics about when we normally see the first widespread freeze.
The map below is a depiction of the median date of the first fall freeze during the 30-year climatological normals period of 1971-2000. The median is defined as the middle value of an ordered set of values. In other words, 50% of the time freezing temperatures occur before the given date and 50% of the time freezing temperatures occur after the given date. The map is divided by color into 10-day increments. Two facts to point out: notice the further south you travel down the state, the later the first freeze date. Also, notice the areas shaded in blue in the northern most counties of the state. These areas are part of the Tennessee River valley, which illustrates how bodies of water will hold enough heat to keep nearby land from freezing.
Taking a look at some actual numbers for 2010, as of November 4th, Birmingham has only dropped to 39 degrees this fall, on October 5th. The median average date for the first freeze at Birmingham is November 10th. By November 19th, Birmingham has had a freeze 90% of the time. By November 30th, Birmingham has had a first freeze 99% of the time.
As of November 4th, Montgomery has only dropped to 39 degrees this fall, on October 30th. The median average date for the first freeze at Montgomery is November 13th. By November 17th, Montgomery has had a freeze 75% of the time and by November 29th, Montgomery has had a freeze 90% of the time. By December 11th, Montgomery has had a first freeze 99% of the time.
The last time the Birmingham and Montgomery areas did not experience a fall freeze was in the Fall of 1931. The first freeze that cool season was not until January 10, 1932 in Birmingham and January 31, 1932 in Montgomery. Montgomery also did not have a fall freeze in 1923. This is based on observations from 1900 to 2009.

Kate Middleton is pregnant! No, seriously, for real this time.
While speculation of Prince William's royal heir kicked into high gear last week, St. James's Palace this morning confirmed the worst-kept secret in England, and announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first baby.
The signs were all there—check out the hints of Kate's pregnancy!
"Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," the palace said in a statement this morning.
No doubt intending to keep this highly public news as private as possible, there was no word on whether Kate and Wills are expecting a boy or girl, or a possible due date for the little royal, though as an announcement has been made, she's clearly past her first trimester.
Kate Middleton revealed the hints of a baby bump last week—see the pic!
The palace did announce that Kate was "in the very early stages" of her pregnancy, however, and today was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London due to suffering hyperemesis gravidarum—in other words, acute morning sickness. She's expected to remain in the hospital for just a few days and will rest at home after.
"The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news," the palace said.
As is the world at large and those in favor of the continuation of the monarchy, we're guessing. Congrats!

Test welds on 1/8" mild steel seemed to be fine. It would seem like some kind of contamination but I don't know from what. Any clues as to what I was doing wrong?
Try using a gas flow rate of 25CFH of 100% Argon. Porosity is usually caused by contaminants like paint, oils, or water. Or your shielding gas is not protecting the molten metal.
Turn off any fans in the room and keep drafts away from where you are welding. Sometimes a gas regulator will give you a false reading. I would recommend a flow meter with the ball indicator for the best accuracy in gas regulation. Or if you are in doubt turn your gas flow up. Just be carefull not to crank up the flow rate too high or it will stir up the air around the weld and that will cause porosity problems also.

You've done worse. Being serious, have you ever seen a "big boned skeleton?" Me neither.
***Update - I don't respond to winks and if I don't email you back within 72 hours it means that I appreciate your email but I'm not interested. The volume is a bit overwhelming and I'm not one to keep 10 conversations going as it loses focus." High integrity, high self esteem, empathy, loyal, outwardly friendly and comforting, ethical, open, non-judgemental, spontaneous, witty, rational versus emotional in most situations and nurturing. That is both me and what I'd prefer. I smile all the time and hope that you do too. This is a fun life we have, and if you aren't having fun....take a look around you. You probably aren't ready to date. I won't fight in a relationship, not to say I'm not passionate, but fighting has no relevance for me nor does nagging and if you think PMS is acceptable, please move on to the next profile. I don't do well with thin skinned or entitlement. I'm not looking to save anyone financially or emotionally, I want a partner. I want someone with a career. Nothing against stay at home mothers, I'm just not looking to be in a relationship with one. Boy, I'm sounding a bit negative, sorry. I've run across some really down and out people lately that have no reason to be dating as their time would be better spent in therapy! I work out quite a bit, but not out of fear or anything negative...I really enjoy it. I just believe in a healthy lifestyle and if working out is not a part of your life, it's not going to work as it's a lifestyle. I'm glad that you are naturally thin, but it takes more than that. It's hard finding a nice way to say this, but I'm most physically attracted to women 5'8 and over that have a strong will and can pick up a kettlebell. Exceptions are rare as it's a big world and I know what I'm looking for mentally, physically and emotionally.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.

Grunge, Indie and punk are my favorites. I like to laugh and be entertained when I turn on the TV, pretty simple. Sitcoms with laugh tracks don't entertain me.
Anything but sitting on the couch playing video games. I don't understand that lifestyle. I like being outdoors whenever possible.

Johnson and Johnson's McNeil Consumer Healthcare has recalled yet another one of its products.
This time Tylenol for infants has been found problematic and the company is recalling 574,000 bottles of the popular, grape-flavored pain and fever reliever for infants.
According to the company, there is nothing wrong with the actual medication. The problem is that parents and caregivers are having difficulty with the newly designed bottle.
"McNeil is initiating this voluntary recall as a precaution after receiving a small number of complaints from consumers who reported difficulty using the Infants' TYLENOL® SimpleMeasure™ dosing system," states a press release on the J&J website.
A YouTube video posted by McNeil features a young woman explaining to parents how to use the new dosing system. Towards the end of the video, however she informs viewers that they can receive a refund if they have problems with the system.
Parents who have purchased Infants' TYLENOL® Oral Suspension 1oz. Grape - Lot Numbers: BIL0U00, BIL0V00, BIL3500, BJL2D00, BJL2E00, BJL2T00, or BJL2U00 can call 1-888-222-6036 or log on to www.tylenol.com for more information or to get a refund.
Benadryl for infants and children, Zyrtec, Motrin, liquid Tylenol and Rolaids are among the products that J&J has recently recalled.

Netflix and Carrots. Bieber and Smoking.
I need a doctor. Following a hasty web-diagnosis, it would appear i'm suffering from a bad case of "reactance". It's the reason i'm becoming "motivationally aroused" when the internet suggests things i might like to do next. Apparently you can't catch it, but i'll swear my 2 year old has passed it onto me, like he passes on all other coughs, colds and bugs.
Because my 2 year old is suffering badly from reactance. So much so that he is often in tears and rolls round the floor in dismay. It's heartbreaking to watch. Vegetables are the trigger. Offer him a carrot and he goes ballistic. But strangely, when i say he can't have a carrot because he won't like it, he demands one. Reactance is making him very resistant to persuasion.
My reactance flared up when i was on Netflix. It had been incubating online for a while. I like Netflix a lot, but on this occasion its clever engine told me once too often what i might like to watch next. I know it was only trying to please. It's not Netflix's fault: at £5.99 a month it has to be helpful and constructive in the way it surfaces up its library.
It told me, again, that i should watch the feature length, award-winning documentary Food Inc (#humblebrag). With the lurch of a reactance-diseased man, I clicked straight to screwball comedies to find the most mindless thing on offer (Carry on Up The Kyber, in case you were wondering. Yes, i know. A classic).
I'm bored of content search being positively helpful (is that heresy?). I no longer want to be presented with results which are so constructively personalized. Like all good first-world citizens, i get bored of a comfortable, easy, life.
I want my content search to be confrontational. Tell me something i won't like. That used to be called bad, stupid search. Now i'd call it clever reverse psychology. Start responding to what i won't do next.
Search needs to deal with my reactance (for which there is no cure). Treat me like a two year old – don't spoonfeed me; beat me with mind games.
When i search for carrots, tell me i can't have any carrot search results because based on my online grocery shopping profile and history, it's unlikely i'll like carrots. Then, like a two year old i will scream for carrots. I will pay handsomely for carrots.
And it's not just me who wants more positive displays of negativity. Over in the renegade Southern States they're rebelling too. Academics in Texas (aren't they a band? didn't they once open for Fleet Foxes?), have been messing round with things you won't like on Facebook. Enemygraph is an app that helps you define things you'll hate rather than like. I like this. Currently Tobacco seems to be the most hated thing – amazingly beating Justin Bieber into number two spot. Now i know smoking kills, but people, please, keep some perspective.

Nigel Coates is one of the few English architects who is also renowned as a designer. He maintains the original and coherent idea that architecture and design should carefully reflect the confusion and sensuality of the city. His first success came about in Japan, where, during the 80's and 90's, he designed more than twenty buildings and interior designs. His work reflected that original mixture of enthusiastic intuition and culture that were intrinsic to him.
He subsequently built a wide range of shops, restaurants and museums in Europe and Great Britain, including the National Centre for Popular Music and the Geffrye Museum, both in England. These two works were chosen to represent England at the Biennial of Architecture 200. His furniture design and objects in glass, like those for Hitch Mylius and Salviati play with association and context and merge their stylistic references into sensual flowing forms.
Throughout his career, Coates promoted his ideas by means of exhibitions and publications, amongst which is his most ambitious book "Guide to Ecstacity". He is also a professor of Architectural Design at the Royal College of Art, London.
Wit, whimsy and warmth abound in the world of Slamp, an Italian lighting company founded in 1994 by former fashion show designer Robert Ziliani. From the beginning, Slamp has been mixing up a veritable cocktail of contemporary, high-concept aesthetics spiked with a cheeky attitude, and creating sophisticated, contemporary lighting with a playful ambiance.

The Jackson 3?
By Tony Hicks
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 at 1:24 pm in Uncategorized.
I know we should never officially wish death on anyone and all – at least that's what my grandma used to say. Then again, she didn't know Joe Jackson.
Simply put: Joe Jackson needs to be dealt with. Quickly, quietly, and with a minimum of fuss.
Reports surfaced Tuesday that Jackson is making plans to take Michael Jackson's three children on tour in 2010 as the Jackson 3. Celebrity biographer Ian Halperin told the Sun newspaper in London that Joe wants to take 12-year-old Prince Michael I (the one who looked terrified at Michael's memorial), 11-year-old Paris Michael Katherine (the one who looked terrified at Michael's memorial), and 7-year old Blanket (the one who looked terrified at Michael's memorial), on tour, with a world-class backing band. Supposedly he gave two of them recording contracts with his label already (you remember, the label he was pushing to a reporter before his son's body was even cold).
What the hell would the kids do… stand on stage, clutching action figures of their father, looking terrified, while music played behind them?
Suddenly Debbie Rowe taking the kids doesn't look so bad. Suddenly Dick Cheney taking the kids doesn't look so bad.
Supposedly, at least one family member is livid, saying old Joe seems intent on doing this. Because screwing up his own nine kids wasn't enough. Joe's pushing 80 – can't someone just kick his ass and be done with it? Why is this guy so scary to them? Tito's got to want a piece of him by now. You can do it, Tito. We're all behind you.

Congress first approved funds for Absecon Island in 1996, and the first phase was completed in 2004, before LoBiondo married his current wife. The couple moved to the Ventnor home in 2005, according to the statement.
"When Congress authorized earmarks, the Congressman's focus was always the needs of the communities he represents," the statement read.
The Post cited lawmakers from Georgia and Maryland for earmarking beach replenishment funds for communities where they own vacation homes.
But they are pikers compared to Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), who earmarked $100 million in projects to revitalize downtown Tuscaloosa, according to the Post. Shelby's title business, with a nephew's legal practice as a tenant, survived in the redeveloped area, which includes a new federal courthouse, while other properties were taken.
The location of Shelby's business "was the worst block in town," another local businessman, whose nearby holdings were acquired for the redevelopment, complained to the Post. But the project has transformed a formerly blighted area. Shelby told the newspaper that any benefits to him were so "remote" from the public purpose as to be irrelevant.
Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (D-Tex.) made a similar argument after obtaining $665,000 to widen a road past his family's food processing plant and nearby commercial property he was developing, according to the Post. The newspaper reported he and his wife had certified they had no financial interest in the road work.
Hinojosa told the Post that he sold the development property before the earmark went through, and a spokeswoman for the family company said it had not discussed the roadwork with the company that bought the site.
The executive branch is often faulted for having revolving doors between key positions and industries that benefit from regulatory and funding decisions, exemplified by the Wall Street executives who have filled high-profile positions in the Bush and Obama administrations.
But ethical requirements have been far lower in the legislative branch. There is little transparency in congressional finances, although ethical requirements differ slightly in the two chambers. Senators are supposed to certify that neither they nor immediate family members stand to benefit from earmarked funds. In the House, the restrictions apply only to representatives and their spouses, not to parents, children or other connections.

"Where Peace Lives" is a book of timeless wisdom for people of all ages. Both children and adults will delight in the adventure to free the angel Peace who has been locked in an unbreakable glass box and can't get out. The only hope for the world; to find the three keys to set Peace free. Inspired by the universal teachings of Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Buddha, Jesus Christ, Moses and Mohammad, the story teller (who is never mentioned by name, gender or age, so each reader can make this journey their own) discovers that the "Three Keys to Peace" are not physical keys. To learn what they are, Robins invites you to read the book.
This book was written to inspire the world to study, learn and practice more peace. To encourage parents to become their children's peace teachers and insist that our educational system include the study of peace. "Peace can be right after English, just before history and not on the days kids have science and math." "Where Peace Lives" is a call to action to strengthen our peace 'muscle', and make it our most dominant, global trait. Written in the vein of "The Little Prince" and beautifully illustrated, "Where Peace Lives" is a classic in the making.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Where Peace Lives" will go to City Hearts, a non-profit dedicated to healing the effects of violence and discrimination through the inclusion of Art in the inner city classrooms (www.cityhearts.org), and Earth Rights Institute, working to ensure a global culture of peace and justice.

Happy Birthday iPhone 3.0! (Tell iPhone 4.0 We Said Hurry!)
One year ago today Apple held their iPhone 3.0 SDK Sneak Peak event and released iPhone 3.0 Beta 1, giving all of us our first look at cut, copy, and paste, MMS, tethering, Spotlight search, Voice Memo, in-app purchases, turn-by-turn navigation, stereo Bluetooth, pervasive landscape keyboard, P2P gaming, and whole bunch more.
Now, a year later, we've gone to version 3.1.3 release and 3.2 beta, from 30 million iPhone and iPod touch devices on the market to over 75 million (and 150 thousand iPad pre-orders), and don't even get us started about the apps.
So happy birthday iPhone 3.0, and if it isn't indelicate of us to say, should you see iPhone 4.0 lounging around the Apple labs, please do tell it to hurry along. We're about ready to preview it now.
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

Happy Birthday iPhone 3.0! (Tell iPhone 4.0 We Said Hurry!)
Make it work in South Dakota and I'll Take 2. otherwise Apple does have one fault its called AT&T
Yep, AT THIS TIME last year, we had 3.0. This year AT THIS TIME we have.......(cue the crickets). 3.2?? For what?? Mostly iPad. Been stuck with 3.1.3 for a loooooooong time now, watching all the pretty NEW PHONES roll out. Yawn. Getting tired of all this. Apple is making it real hard to get excited about a new something anymore. It's starting to look like the iPad is this years wonder child.
If they do a unified email box, I hope it would be an option to use or not. I hated the unified email on my Blackberry.
A home screen would be nice. Multitasking is overdue. Faster rendering in the web browser would be good...no more checkerboard patterns when I scroll...please. Less obtrusive notifications are always nice. Oh...how about a better battery that is changeable? I don't think any of these things are wild ideas...
@Scott.. This time last year we still had 2.x. Apple gave us a Peak at what was in store for 3.0 but it didn't drop until the summer.
I'm so bored with my iPhone at the moment. I really want some juicey news about OS 4.0 T_T
Having categories or stacks would be nice, as I hate how unorganised the homescreens are. Having grouped notifications on the lockscreen would be amazing. Themes for the Springboard would be sexy ;D
Won't need to jailbreak after that.
Yeah, I'm kind of bored with my car only having four wheels, requiring gasoline, and my steering wheel needing to be turned by hand. I wish they'd hurry up and change these things even though they've worked for over a hundred years. Things that aren't broken should be fixed because I'm bored.
Maybe we won't get a 4.0 this year? Maybe just 3.2? Apple's been pretty busy with iPad and maybe next iPhone will be more a hardware upgrade than a software one? Anyway, it's hard to believe that they wouldn't demo 4.0 (and release Beta SDK to devs) at least a couple months prior to its release. Of course maybe they'll just be a little late this year: demo 4.0 in April and announce new iPhone in July?
- in old English accent *
" whate'er "
haha, yay! No, please... have 4.0 hurry up!

Composer and arranger George Paxton was a busy man during the late 1930s and early 1940s. Paxton grew up in New Jersey, where he learned to play the saxophone as a youth. He formed his first group, a six-man outfit, in 1933 while still in high school. The band included guitarist Tony Mottola and saxophonist Herbie Haymer. The three later moved to New York, where Paxton was hired to write arrangements for bandleader and Meadowbrook Inn owner Frank Dailey.
In the late 1930s Paxton joined George Hall at the Taft Hotel as an arranger and sax player. When Hall went on tour in 1940 Paxton remained in New York and found work arranging for Bunny Berigan and singer Bea Wain. He briefly moved to Cincinnati to join Charlie Spivak but soon returned to New York to arrange and play sax for Ina Ray Hutton, who had recently disbanded her all-female orchestra and formed a new all-male group. Hutton reportedly paid him fifty percent of her profits for his talent. He eventually came to play an important role in the band, becoming its music director and de facto leader. Paxton also arranged for Vaughan Monroe and Sammy Kaye.
In 1944 Paxton left Hutton to form his own orchestra. The band gained notoriety after a year-long run at the Roseland Ballroom and subsequently toured the country. Paxton revamped the group in 1945, dropping its string section and hiring better musicians, and the improved band soon became a fixture on the New York scene. Vocalists included Alan Dale, Liza Morrow, Dick Merrick, and Gene Williams. Standout musicians were trumpeter Guy Key and saxophonist Boomie Richman. The orchestra primary label was Majestic, however their songs were also released on the Guild, Hit, and MGM labels.
In 1949 Paxton took the position of house orchestra leader at New York's Capitol Theatre. He later went into the music publishing business and co-founded the Coed record label in 1958. Coed's biggest stars were Adam Wade, the Crests, the Duprees, and the Rivieras. The label went out of business in the early 1960s.

It happens a lot — someone likes you, but you don't like the person back, at least not in that way. What's a guy to do? Ignoring her would be rude. Telling her to go away or saying "no way!" would be unkind and hurt her feelings. But not telling the truth about it doesn't work either because then she might think you like her, too.
One boy said his dad told him not to hurt the girl's feelings, which made him really confused. How do you not hurt someone's feelings when the answer is "no"?
Being honest about how you feel is always a good thing — as long as you say it kindly, without being mean on purpose. It shows the kind of person you are and it's part of being your best self. Don't forget that it's a compliment when someone likes you. Maybe she thinks you're cute, funny, kind, smart, cool — just irresistible in whatever way.
It feels good to know that someone likes you. But it doesn't feel so good when you like someone, then find out that the other person doesn't feel the same way. So she's probably going to be disappointed. Still, maybe you can think of a friendly compliment to give her when you tell her you just want to be friends.
Here's an example: "You're a nice [or cool, pretty, awesome] girl, but I like you just as a friend, not a girlfriend. I hope you're OK with that."
Good luck and we hope that works!

late 13c., "a parrot," from Old French papegai (12c.), from Spanish papagayo, from Arabic babagha', Persian babgha "parrot," possibly formed in an African or other non-Indo-European language and imitative of its cry. Ending probably assimilated in Western European languages to "jay" words (Old French jai, etc.).
Used of people in a complimentary sense (in allusion to beauty and rarity) from early 14c.; meaning "vain, talkative person" is first recorded 1520s. Obsolete figurative sense of "a target to shoot at" is explained by Cotgrave's 2nd sense definition: "also a woodden parrot (set up on the top of a steeple, high tree, or pole) whereat there is, in many parts of France, a generall shooting once euerie yeare; and an exemption, for all that yeare, from La Taille, obtained by him that strikes downe" all or part of the bird.

In 2010, Georgia's total international trade turnover was USD 6.7 Billion, an increase of 199% since 2005. This success can be contributed to Georgia's more active role in the global economy and its steady growth in FDI since 2004.
To protect investors and to enhance Georgia's role as an investment destination, it has established bilateral treaties on investment promotion and protection with 32 countries and has concluded double taxation treaties with 31 countries across the globe.
Georgia's Customs Code is on par with European standards and has streamlined its Customs procedures to simplify the import and export process. Highlights of the Customs tariffs are:
