Great Language Builder
By Andrea Pediatric Speech Therapist
from Concord, CA
About Me speech therapist
Great toy, use with ages 18 months to 6 years of age. I am a speech therapist, I use it to teach colors and concepts (in, out, on, under). I use it with expressive and receptive language. You can hide the inside pieces and then put them where they belong. Pretend to have stuffed animals eat them. So many uses for this and it is simple, compact, easy to take with me on homevisits.
Color Learning Fun
By Erin Lowmaster | Connected2Christ
from Oregon
Teaching children about colors can be fun with the Smart Snacks Peek-a-Boo Color Muffins from Learning Resources! This particular set has been great fun to use with my four and 1/2 year old daughter and my nearly two year old son. The possibilities of ways to incorporate different concepts and aspects in educating my children have been endless thanks to this well thought out kid appealing product.The Smart Snacks Peek-a-Boo Color Muffin set comes with 5 durable plastic 3-piece muffins that store in handy rotating stand which messures 4.5"H x 7" in diameter. The colors of the muffin bottoms covered in this set are red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Inside each muffin is a piece of fruit that matches the color of the corresponding muffin liner bottom, for example there are red cherries, a yellow slice lemon, blue blueberries, and so on. You can mix and match them however you so choose.The set is fantastic is helping reinforce color recognition! Children can play with this set in many ways. They can match the fruit filling to the colored cups. You could also let your children use the set when playing in their toy kitchens pr hosting pretend tea parties. For younger children, they might even enjoy a game of peek-a-boo. The muffin lids can be put on and taken off easily and that's much appreciated for little ones that can sometimes get discouraged or upset if having a problem attaching or detaching lids or parts of any kind.My son is turning two years old in a couple of weeks and I've been using this set with him daily. I'm pretty sure my son is starting to understand his colors a bit better just from our time spent with this. Sometimes I'll ask him to find other things around the house that are blue and he'll bring them to me.For example, I had a blue muffin out with the set and asked him to find something else blue, he in turn brought me his blue train toy. Though if I ask him what color the muffin is he'll say the name of his train instead of the actual color. We'll get there eventually and I believe this set will help tangibly and visually quite a bit. He loves when I bring the muffins out to play.My daughter whom is four already knows all her colors. She likes playing with this set when hosting her pretend tea and dessert parties. I can vouch with the use and play from both of my children, this set has held up exceptionally well. We've managed not to misplace anything in the set either. The muffins lids that snap to the bottoms and the stand has seen to that. These features are absolutely essential to any set making it great for storing when not in play.Overall, I highly recommend Learning Resources Smart Snacks Peek-a-Boo Color Muffins! It's great for color recognition, pretend play, and whatever else you can think up in having fun or teaching a child.

So Many Possibilites
By Cher @ Mom and More
from Chicago, IL
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
This muffin set has so many uses, especially for creative kids! It I initially for teaching kids their colors by matching the fruit with the same colored muffin bottoms. You can also then teach them about the five different fruits. Count with them, mix them up and play games with them, use them in a play kitchen, the possibilities are endless! After matching them up, my boys like to snap them all together and use them in their play kitchen (we now eat a lot of muffins!) All the muffins snap closed and can be stored in a nice rotating stand. The pieces are durable and my boys can close up and open the muffins all on their own.

and its generally people -like- you who bail on these things.
Your trash talk sounds store-bought with a coupon
That means it common, and I see through it
Or it's like yo mom, and anyone can do it
I show up and throw down
I blow up and go round
motherfuckers like it's my goddamn day job
You a homo bottom feeder like you Sponge-gay-bob
So lay off, knob, you don't want none of The Question
Your responses is faulty but my rap spits celestial
I'm slicing motherfuckers with heavenly swords
**** around and watch me level these boards
With these sick messages I'm leveraging
Leave your joints fucked like severe aging
And your muscles bloody bruised and contused
I'll hit you with rounds of abuse, Q can't lose
So if you wanna stay breathing, chill when you see me, Kiwi
You come half cocked, you'll get rocked...
And left with your head tilted to one side... like a beenie
Oh, ****, sorry man. I inadvertently lyrically murdered you. I wasn't even trying to **** you up and ****. It's just that this thread put me in **** talk mode.
for all of sircs problems he doesnt bail on throwdowns, probably because he does actually have real fights. so why dont you just leave it til its actually 100% gonna happen, and in the meantime, why dont you try out getting in the ring for an actual fight. that will already put you above 90% of the people on this forum who need to **** off passing opinion on those who put their ass on the line.

CONCORD, N.C. – A set of New Concept Design bodywork and a $500 gift certificate for a custom paint job at The Shop in Maryland will be raffled off this weekend at the WKC Memorial Cup WKA Vega / TS Racing Road Racing Series national at Summit Point Motorsports Park.

Jennifer Lea Roberts, 41, teaches math at Summerville High School. She also works with kids needing extra support for graduation.
She is married to a former North Charleston police officer, Jerry, and has a stepdaughter, Stacie, who is currently in grad school at USC. AT home, she is "mom" to two Chihuahuas – Dexter and Kessler.
Last year, she was a District Honor Teacher of the Year.
Her 20-year teaching career began in Haut Gap Middle School on John's Island where she spent four years. She then came to DD2 and taught at Alston Middle School for seven years before coming to Summerville High School where she is beginning her 10th year of teaching.
She has taught social skills, social studies and math. She has a Master's from The Citadel and is certified in elementary, middle and secondary education.
Growing up in Irmo, which is north of Columbia, she earned her Bachelor's in elementary education at Clemson.
Why teaching? "I get to make a difference," she says. "As a Christian it gives me an avenue to do God's will."
"Sometimes, you are the [only] caring adult in a child's life."
Roberts works with At Promise kids. Some are homeless, some are single parents, some have personal or family issues. She also gets kids who have transferred to SHS and she helps them get up to speed. She helps those who struggle with math. Most of her students are in the 10th grade.
She is also mentoring a new math teacher.
She finds it difficult to select a best experience…"there are so many," she says.
There's one, she finds special, a student who struggled for five and a half years to graduate, went to night school and is now employed with DD2.
Her worst? Well aside from the student who threatened to shoot her over a detention (and whose brother had brought a gun to school the year before) which was, she says, pretty scary, there aren't many bad experiences.
When not in school, Roberts is active at St. George's Episcopal Church, she sings on its Praise Team and is a member of the Daughters of the King religious order. Not surprising as both her parents, although now retired, are Episcopal priests.
She loves working out and does so five to six days a week incorporating Zumba, Yoga and Body Flow (a combination of Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates) into her routine. She is a big Clemson fan and she supports her daughter who runs with USC track.
"I love to read," she says, "and enjoy best sellers, Patricia Cornwall, trilogies and series and I read what the kids are reading so I can keep up with them and understand them better."
Both she and her husband work 50 to 60 hours a week. Her husband, although retired as a police officer, works for CPD as a civilian in the digital evidence unit in forensics.
At school she is an athletic academic advisor working with student athletes to arrange tutoring and help them keep up with their academics, supporting teachers and students alike.
Her future goals? She has worked with online courses at SHS for the past eight years and is an ardent supporter of a future DD2 online high school. "I would like to be a part of that."

And if so, was it cut and left cryptic to sell future DLC?
Mass Effect 3 has been derided since its release as having an unsatisfying and spectacularly bad finale that has disappointed fans of the otherwise phenomenal series. But now a new conspiracy theory is circling the internet, and if proven true, could mean that this terrible ending is actually pretty incredible, and we were all just too blind to see it.
The "proof" comes in the form of a collection of internet postings and a new definitive "Loose Change" style video which aims to show how we've all missed the point. I'll post it for you below, and though it clocks in at twenty minutes, if you're a fan, it's definitely a must watch.
I won't summarize it in full (obvious spoilers ahoy), but the general idea is that in reality, the entire ending sequence is occurring in your character's mind. The bad guys of the series, the Reapers, are attempting to "indoctrinate" Commander Shepard, a process they use to seduce powerful figures into helping their cause, and the final choice you make is either you accepting or resisting their influence.
The details are small at first, but they start to snowball, and by the end, the theory doesn't sound so crazy anymore. It explains many aspects of the game that are otherwise out of place. Shepard's visions of a lost child, the fact that he winds up with an injury he supposedly inflicted on another, the two second sequence that shows him stirring in earthbound rubble at the end. And a fact not mentioned in the video, that your last save in the game allows you replay the alleged dream sequence if you made the "wrong" choice from the exact moment reality supposedly ends.
And I did in fact make the "wrong" choice according to this, and I was disturbed when I realized that two of the three options, controlling the Reapers and combining organic and synthetic life, were also the aims of the indoctrinated Illusive Man and Saren respectively. Uh oh.
What is not made clear in this theory, or the video, is what the scenes mean AFTER the decision is made. As discussed before, they all more or less show variants of the same scene, giving little or unclear resolution to Shepard's actions. This is the sequence that upset people the most, and the video explains it away as "hopeful visions," but that's not exactly satisfying either.
It is also entirely plausible that the ending is not metaphorical at all. That everything happened the way we thought it did and Bioware really did drop the ball. But further evidence against this straightforward view is that Bioware has not screwed up the story up until this point, and the "indoctrination theory" being true would prove they're smarter than all of us.
But the fact is, true or not, the indoctrination theory is a win for Bioware. Even if it's not what they intended, enough pieces are there where if they came out and said it was true, people would believe them. They now have a way out, as they can now appropriate the theory as something they planned all along, even if that wasn't the case.
If it really was what they had in mind, it would be a master storytelling move viewed from one angle, as it's a huge mind-bending twist for players that was too high concept for almost everyone who played. But when you stop and consider it, the decision to handle such a twist the way they did would remain creatively atrocious. I've recently speculated that the "sameness" of the endings is really a plot to sell more DLC, as if there were three different, complete endings, that wouldn't be in the cards. The fact is, even if the last sequence is the indoctrination process, it's still a gut punch to fans to cut out a true ending, and sell it later as DLC, which I now believe has been their intention all along.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
The three companies working on Waitsfield's municipal water project are working to complete as much as possible before inclement weather halts construction for the season.
Contract 1, held by the Sicard company, is continuing along Route 100. The company is currently working near Full Circle Auto and will then move its efforts beyond Village Grocery in Waitsfield Village and continue north on Route 100.
"They are trying to install as much pipe as they can by December 1 which is the deadline for working along Route 100. Then they will move to the Dugway Road and be there for a week or two before they shut down for the season," said Waitsfield's municipal project manager Henry Erickson.
The second contract, held by the Munson Company, involves work along Tremblay Road. That company is cleaning up and should be finished this week and will then shut down for the winter. Workers are cleaning up along the edge of the road where they installed patch pavement and working up to the section where they went overland through the woods to get to the water storage tank site. They are cleaning up limbs and trees and installing additional erosion control measures.
The third contract is to install the water storage tank on Bushnell Road and that project will not happen until next spring.
Kingsbury Construction has the fourth contract which also involves installing water lines. That company is working on Long Road, up to the point where it crosses Reed Road. Part of that contract will also require boring underneath the Long Road, two-thirds of the way to Bushnell Road, under the crest of the hill.
"That will take place this year if the boring contractor can get here in the next couple of weeks. Otherwise it will wait until spring," Erickson said.

RE: At Any Price
At Any Price is going to the Telluride Film Festival
Quote:A number of films will head directly to Telluride from their world premieres at the concurrent Venice International Film Festival: Xavier Giannoli 's comedy Superstar, which looks at what happens when a man suddenly becomes famous; Ariel Vroman's The Iceman, a dramatic feature in which Michael Shannon plays the real-life Mafia assassin Riochard Kuklinski; Ramin Bahrani's At Any Price, in which Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron play a father and son brought together to defend their family farm...
Plus later they quote Michael Pollan's notes in the Telluride guide:
Quote:AT ANY PRICE takes us on a harrowing journey into the modern, post-Monsanto farm belt. This is a place where the pressures on farmers to "expand or die," as one character puts it and to rat out their neighbors creates a world in which good men find themselves resorting to desperate measures to maintain their hold on the land and a way of life that is falling apart.
Now for some excerpts from the production notes...
Quote:The fiercely competitive world of high-tech agribusiness is the backdrop for AT ANY PRICE, a drama that melds timeless themes of fathers and sons, ambition and rebellion, morality and survival, with a sharply de-romanticized view of modern farming. "I spent about six months in the Midwest observing the life of farmers," says writer/director RAMIN BAHRANI about his heartland portrait. "I'd ride with the farmers in their massive 48-row air-conditioned GPS planters and they'd talk to me, almost like a therapy session. A lot of the stories and emotions in the movie came from those conversations with real farmers."
Quote:The Second Son

RE: At Any Price
HERE Is Another Review With A Spoiler.
Dean (Zac Efron) wants to be a NASCR driver to escape his rural existence. Dean sees his father's dubious ethics first hand and doesn't want to drawn into his world, but at the same time is loyal to his mother Irene (Kim Dickens) and aware of his place within the small-town world.
Grumpy Dean (Efron rarely gets to smile here) gets his big chance to prove his driving talents, but an unnerving track incident sees him lose his nerve and is faced with reassessing his future. He pushes away young girlfriend Cadence (a lovely debut by Maika Monroe) and has a sexual encounter with Meredith, but more importantly finds himself drawn to his father's side as he tries to fend off a seed company investigating his working practices.
His new found determination leads him to a dramatic incident that while finally bringing father and son together also locks them into a moral decision that sees them complicit in a dark secret. The final scenes play on Henry's face as he realises the road he has taken, though frustratingly the film never places any real sense that Whipple father and son have deep regret or remorse and are certainly never brought to account for their actions.

RE: At Any Price
Reviews thus far
THR Reviews David Rooney:
Quote:The characters played by Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron in At Any Price could almost be contemporary American agricultural family counterparts to Arthur Miller's Willy and Biff Loman. Their conflicts don't resonate on the same scale as Death of a Salesman, but Ramin Bahrani's accomplished, well-acted film is an engrossingly serious-minded heartland drama, rich in moral ambiguity, that examines the challenging relationship of fathers and sons in the difficult terrain of modern commercial farming.
Hitflix review Guy Lodge:
Quote:It put me more in mind of the muscular Hollywood melodramas crafted by the likes of Nicholas Ray and George Stevens in the 1950s, back when star-driven character dramas about middle American insecurities were still big business -- and not just because Bahrani's improbably secured the services of dreamboat Zac Efron, who looks more like a studio raffle prize circa 1957 with each passing film.
The Playlist review Oliver Lyttelton:
Quote:It's a film on a fairly intimate scale, but dealing with big, modern themes – the cost of the American dream (as the title might suggest), the destructiveness of competition, the sacrifices parents make for their children and vice versa, and what people will do in order to survive. And being told in the form of an good old-fashioned melodrama, closer to "Giant" or "Death Of A Salesman" then anything else, it risks being unfashionable, and indeed the film was the first we've seen in Venice to receive a few scattered boos as the credits rolled.
First showing review
Quote:Nearly every aspect of At Any Price is spectacular, and Bahrani does not miss a single detail. From the very start, which opens with Super 8 cam footage of the family growing up, to the score, to the performances, to the intricate story itself, to the human relationships and characters. Even what the local community thinks of them, and the dynamic relationships between farmers and customers and corporations, it's all there, and all accurately portrayed. It's beautifully shot, tremendously acted (by Quaid and Efron) and honestly, very affecting. The emotional journey this film took me on was phenomenal, and I did not expect it at all.
Variety review
Quote:The two leads are in fine form here: Quaid poignantly reveals the jumble of insincerity and good intentions beneath Henry's boisterous exterior, while the callow streak that Efron has often displayed as an actor has never felt as raw, vital and emotionally explosive as it does here. Before it reaches a full-blown Sturm und Drang pitch, the tense father-son dynamic feels believably rooted in a long history of resentments and misunderstandings, yet it's also complicated by Dean's willingness to defend his dad against those who seek his downfall.
Guardian review
Quote:It's an unusual premise and some of the acting isn't bad, but the story is messy and unsatisfying with a plot-hole you could drive a dozen combine harvesters through, the ending is an outrageous fudge and the lead performance from Dennis Quaid is strange to say the least – for which responsibility must probably be shared between director and actor.
Indiewire review
Quote:Given real struggles to convey, Quaid delivers some of his finest acting in the movie's closing scenes, his furrowed brow pointing to a pair of focused eyes that say a lot more than the script's rampant issue-based dialogue. Efron keeps pace with a less demanding but equally tense turn that easily tops anything else in his comparatively shorter oeuvre.

RE: At Any Price
Roger Ebert's review
Quote: Ramin Bahrani, the best new American director of recent years, has until now focused on outsiders in this country: A pushcart operator from Pakistan, a Hispanic street orphan in New York, a cab driver from Senegal working in Winston-Salem. NC. His much-awaited new film, "At Any Price," is set in the Iowa heartland and is about two American icons: A family farmer and a race car driver. It plays Sunday and Monday in the Toronto Film Festival.

RE: At Any Price
Another extract (the Zac-related parts) from a Toronto Festival review:
"Zac Efron has spent the last few years increasingly diversifying his career, and has done an excellent job of recasting the image that he could quite happily have settled for and been successful at. Instead, he started shifting gears in 17 Again, took on a drama like Charlie St. Cloud, has a great little role in the upcoming Liberal Arts, and will soon be seen in Lee Daniels' The Paperboy, alongside Matthew McConaughey, John Cusack, and Nicole Kidman.
"Ramin Bahrani's 'At Any Price' is an excellent further example of this recent trend, switching gears and going for something more challenging, different in spades to his earlier films, showing us just how strong a dramatic actor he is as well.
"Starring the brilliant Dennis Quaid and Efron as the father-and-son leads, At Any Price is a moving drama that lives absolutely in its characters....
"Quaid and Efron are brilliant in the leads, with the former giving a strong portrait of a father willing to do anything to get ahead in his business life, only to discover that he is doing it at the cost of losing his family, and later realising what that means for him. Efron, too, is stellar as the young Dean, giving further proof of what a fantastic actor he's becoming, and an indication of where his career will be heading in the years to come. During the Q&A of its North American premiere, Efron spoke of his hopes to do more roles like this, and that would definitely be something to look forward to."

I know how I personally affect these metrics. I have an Amdroid phone that I use occasionally for web surfing when I'm out and about but I use my ipad almost all of the time. I take it anywhere I go and since most places have wifi I'm good to go.i use Chrome on the iPad so my bookmarks all sync between the phone, desktop and iPad but I obviously prefer using the Internet on a 9.7 inch ipad over a 4.3 inch phone. I am surprised by the iPhone numbers though, I would much rather use my phone than my iPod touch. My phone has a bigger and much better screen than the iPod. Maybe Android users really are just using them as glorified feature phones, in which case the carriers are hosing them for data plans they aren't using.
iPhone and iPad once again lead web usage metrics, this time for Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales
Continuing the confusing trend of Android dominating in market share but iOS continuing to lead -- by huge margin -- in mobile web usage share, both Apple's iPhone and the iPad reportedly eclipsed Google's Android in Thanksgiving and Black Friday online shopping use over the last few days. This according to IBM Digital Analytics Benchmarks:
Mobile Shopping: Mobile purchases soared with 24 percent of consumers using a mobile device to visit a retailer's site, up from 14.3 percent in 2011. Mobile sales exceeded 16 percent, up from 9.8 percent in 2011.
The iPad Factor: The iPad generated more traffic than any other tablet or smartphone, reaching nearly 10 percent of online shopping. This was followed by iPhone at 8.7 percent and Android 5.5 percent. The iPad dominated tablet traffic at 88.3 percent followed by the Barnes and Noble Nook at 3.1 percent, Amazon Kindle at 2.4 percent and the Samsung Galaxy at 1.8 percent.
We've seen this again and again, iOS web usage reports that dwarf the competition. Tablets, of course, are understandable. Apple is the market leader. The iPhone, however, while often the best selling phone in many markets, doesn't outsell all other phones -- or all Android phones -- combined in the market.
So what explains the discrepancy? Do people upgrading from feature phones to a cheap or big screen Android simply keep using it as a feature phone and not bother with things like web browsers? Is the web browsing experience on Android somehow less discoverable or enjoyable? Do expert users simply not care to use the web?
None of those explanations make sense. Chrome on Android is easy to find and easy to use. So why aren't Android users using it?
Maybe that's the wrong question. Maybe the right question is why are iPhone and iPad users using the web so much? What is it about Apple's products that make using the web so much more discoverable and enjoyable?

iPhone and iPad once again lead web usage metrics, this time for Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales
*Do people upgrading from feature phones to a cheap Android simply keep using it as a feature phone*... this explanations make a perfect sense... RENE...since those devices are poured in tons at no costs... those became literally the new dump phones... because those people don't actually need any smart phone.... nor they can handle the complexity of andrOS....
One of those metrics that no one really cares about except iPhone users trying to make themselves feel ok about the fact that android is completely dominating worldwide.
Do you have any idea how stupid that makes you sound?
These metrics show that people use their iPhones to do a significantly higher amount of web surfing than people using android phones. Web browsing consists of a huge percentage of phone usage, so it shows that it's very likely that android phones do have a massive market share, but don't have the majority of their features used. Unless there's some group of magic apps that people on Android use instead of web browsing. I look at the phones most providers sell, and generally there's 1 iPhone at however much, then a SLEW of android phones for, generally, free and maybe a couple basic phones that are the same price. Basically, anyone getting a phone is likely to pick an android phone due to the fact that you're getting more than a basic phone at an equal price. All of my nieces and nephews that are on a restricted budget have various android phones. It's the only logical decision.
Simply put, android has a bigger market share, but they're not used as consistently and AS a full smartphone as the iPhones are.
That doesn't mean Android phones are bad, not at all. I think competition is amazing and I'm blown away by what Android phones are doing, but these endless knocks against the iPhones and the ENDLESS touting of "we haz MARKET SHARE BEASTED!" Doesn't have the same kick looking at these percentages.
I feel like a lot of ipad users may not have any other device to go on the internet so that could be why you see such a huge difference in traffic. I'm sure a lot of us know someone or know someone who knows someone that ended up deciding to just buy an ipad instead of a computer for whatever reason.
a year and a half ago when i purchased my first ipad 2 I had a laptop and a desktop PC. I gradually started using the ipad more and more, then i bought one for my wife and another one for my mom, sold mom's laptop and threw my old desktop PC to the garbage. now all of us use ipads and iphones basically 99% of the time. rarely i go back to my laptop for some occasional pc stuff. iPads btw helped us to significantly lower down the electricity bills. So yeah it depends what you really use your pc for. if internet and email mostly then many people tend to buy ipads. so you are correct, lots of ipad users simply dont have any other devices, because well... ipad is really all what they need.
LoL - keep holding onto these stats, just like those iphone market share numbers, tablet market share numbers, number of apps, etc. etc.. Just setting yourself up for your dreams to be crushed again. Keep grasping for those straws :P
Actually, I think your questions are pretty satisfying reasons:
"Do people upgrading from feature phones to a cheap or big screen Android simply keep using it as a feature phone and not bother with things like web browsers?"
- I'd say the answer is yes to a large extent. The experience browsing on most phones has been so horrible, people don't use it. I used 'smart phones' for years beginning with the Palm Treos and until the iOS devices, they simply weren't worth the frustration. Even if this is now different, I'd guess old habits die hard. Plus, Android is installed on all sorts of crazy devices which aren't that conducive to use, even if the browser is decent. Then, do you even want to get me started on the horrible cellular contracts? (When you've got 250 or 500 MB of data, you don't do a lot of browsing).
"Is the web browsing experience on Android somehow less discoverable or enjoyable?"
- Answered above, but I think it's more the devices themselves which are often the problem.
"Do expert users simply not care to use the web?"
- Even if they do, there aren't enough of them. Like it or not, us tech geeks make up a pretty small percentage of smart-phone and tablet users.... especially on Android!
Then, there is the factor that a lot of Android devices were pushed out as freebies for signing up for things like cable tv or internet access. Most of those ended up in storage bins. Usage is what matters, not 'shipped.' Those of us who have been in tech a long time might see some parallels here with Windows. The number of 'shipped' windows units always was WAY higher than those actually in use.
"Then, there is the factor that a lot of Android devices were pushed out as freebies for signing up for things like cable tv or internet access."
Sure, Android has the market share. It's no question why, they give away their devices. When you can get an android phone for free on a year contract, people just wanting a phone are of course going to go there. Fiscally picking a cheap, old android phone, especially when it's for younger people, over an iPhone, is abundantly clear.
Just because something has tons of market share doesn't mean it's better.
If you think Robin`s story is impossible..., last munth my friend's cousin basically broght in $4638 working a thirteen hour week from home and the're buddy's mother`s neighbour has done this for three months and brought home more than $4638 part-time from there labtop. apply the guidelines on this link, ))>> bit40.cøm <<((.
Many good comments and possible reasons have already been listed here. I'd add an observation of people I know who have Android devices - they often seem reluctant to pull their devices out and do a quick online check for something. I'll use my iPhone any time, any where, to look up anything, at the drop of a hat. I see other iOS users act similarly, more so than many of the Android users.
Another observation is that I am not a techy-geeky person, not at all. But I actually USE my iPhone as a tool to do things, to get things done, like a hand-held pc. I use a wide assortment of apps to accomplish these things. Many of the Android users I know do very little with their devices, other than phone calls, texting, email, and some pictures. But often very little else. I've never understood this. Especially since the devices seem quite capable, especially the newer models with the newest 2 versions of Android OS.
I think Rene glossed over the real reason. Android users who upgraded from feature phones don't really use their smartphones for anything more than they used their feature phones. These are the buyers who upgraded for little or no cost and "why did they buy a smartphone?". They buy the Android either a) because they know they are supposed to upgrade to a smartphone or b) the guy in the store sold it to them. They still text and talk, but have little clue (or interest) about mobile web. I work with a lot of Android users who have no idea how to change settings on their phones. These are the friends who turn to us to ask questions about their tech devices. My standard reply is that I've never owned an Android, but i can figure out most simple devices. A few seconds later, I already know more about their device than they ever will and I've taught them how to use it. I'll bet this scenario is familiar to many iMore readers. :-) iPhone users certainly are not all knowledgeable, but they tend to be a little more involved with their devices.

Mission Type: Flyby, Orbiter
NASA Center: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Europa Multiple Flyby Mission Study Report
The Europa Multiple Flyby Mission concept would send a spacecraft to the Jupiter system to perform repeated close flybys of the giant planet's large moon Europa to investigate its potential habitability. The spacecraft would collect information on Europa's ice shell thickness, composition and surface geomorphology. The notional science payload consists of four instruments: a Shortwave Infrared Spectrometer (SWIRS), an Ice-Penetrating Radar (IPR), a stereo Topographical Imager (TI), and an Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS).
The nominal Europa mission would include 45 flybys of Europa at altitudes varying from 1675 miles to 16 miles (2700 km to 25 km). In the course of performing these flybys, the mission would also fly by the Jovian moons Ganymede and Callisto, although these flybys are solely to shape the orbit and would not drive science priorities.
The notional mission would launch from Cape Canaveral in the early 2020s and spend 6.5 years traveling to Jupiter. During this time, the spacecraft performs gravity assist flybys, first of Venus and then two of Earth, before swinging out to Jupiter. Upon arrival at Jupiter, the spacecraft would perform a nearly 2-hour main engine burn to allow capture into Jovian orbit. The spacecraft then performs four Ganymede flybys over the course of three months to reduce orbital energy and align its trajectory with Europa.
The mission would minimize the hazards posed by Jupiter's intense particle radiation environment in a manner similar to the Juno mission. The spacecraft would spend most of its time well outside the most intense regions of radiation, only diving in close to Europa for brief periods to collect precious science data during flyby encounters. The radiation hazard would be further minimized by placing the spacecraft's most sensitive electronics into a shielded vault. The vault would be placed in an area surrounded by propellant tanks for additional radiation shielding.
The Europa flyby campaign would be comprised of four segments each designed to provide good coverage of a wide region on Europa with consistent lighting conditions. During each flyby, a preset sequence of science observations would be executed. On approach the spacecraft would perform low-resolution global scans with its IR spectrometer ("nodding" the spacecraft's field of view back and forth across the moon, much like the Cassini spacecraft does during its moon flybys), followed by high-resolution scans with that instrument. At 1,000 km the ice-penetrating radar, topographic imager and ion and neutral mass spectrometer (INMS) would power up. The radar pass would occur from 250 miles (400-km) inbound altitude to 250 miles (400-km) outbound altitude, during which stereo imaging and INMS data are acquired continuously. During departure, the IR spectrometer would conduct additional high- and low-resolution scans as the spacecraft moves away from Europa.
Once the nominal mission (45 flybys) has been completed, the mission could continue to execute Europa flybys during an extended mission. The spacecraft would eventually be decommissioned via targeted impact on Ganymede before its propellant runs out or radiation damage compromises its electronics.

"This is a beautiful card. The paper is good quality (a thick card stock), the design is really cute, and they arrived within a few days. I also had a great experience using the designer--it really gave me peace of mind to have someone proofread and tell me it looked OK on their end. I am incredibly happy with these. Just beware: these are pretty pricey, and they cost more to mail because of the square shape (70 cents a piece!)."
"I love this design for holiday cards. We used it for 2014-2015 and the product turned out perfectly. The design is darling. I love that the words from a little Christmas tree. Also the photo sizes are perfect. Other designs were too big or oddly shaped."
"Most beautiful holiday cards we've ever sent out. Using the super express shipping went great---they really did arrive in 2 days (AMAZING!). Only complaint is that the print on some of the cards was very light (ink must've been running out), but it was too late to request a correction or get anything done about it. Paper quality was great--thick and study, photos printed beautifully. Overall, VERY pleased and would absolutely use TinyPrints again."
"This year I chose an OLD photograph taken at our wedding 38 years ago. The card I selected was perfect for the photo, which itself was not that sharp an image. For the first time I got a lot of responses back complimenting the card. It was a big success."
"The most beautiful card, such great quality. This was a great choice. Can't wait for the next occasion to order more cards. Everybody loved the cards and thought that I spent a fortune, thinking that I hired someone to do my cards, that is how beautiful they turned out."

Turf Manager Jake Tyler fights effects of brutal winterWritten by Don Lee | | email@example.com
Jake Tyler's job is to see to it the Mud Hens aren't, strictly, muddy.
Add his job to the list of those made harder by the winter nobody in our region is sorry to see leave.
Making sure the "Field" part of Fifth Third Field is ready for the Mud Hens' home opener is generally a laid-back job — aerate the soil, add a layer of sand, spread fertilizer on the grassy parts, mow it a couple of times.
Add up to 16 inches of snow and ice, though …
"Normally we've got four weeks to get two weeks' [worth of] work done," Tyler said, laughing. "Now we had three weeks to get a month and a half's worth of work done."
Snow normally protects the grass and ground from the worst of the winter cold, then melts in the spring, helping to thaw and warm the ground.
"Definitely not a normal year," said Tyler, whose official job title is sports turf manager for the Mud Hens. "Depends on how you define normal, I guess."
The ground froze, and froze deep. Snow and ice piled up — about 16 inches in the part of the field that, until about April when the sun traces a high-enough arc in the sky, gets no direct sunlight at all.
On the day before spring officially started, parts of the ballpark's loading dock was piled deep with snow — snow that had been shoveled from the field by hand, by a crew of eight men, because the deep-frozen ground was too fragile to use heavy equipment.
And the limited sunlight and near-zero evening temperatures meant there were only a few hours each day to get that work done without causing more damage to the ground.
"It took some ingenuity" to work around that, Tyler said.
That ingenuity included putting one of the infield tarps to unexpected use as a hothouse of sorts, to melt the 16 inches of snow and ice shielded by the stadium walls from the low winter sun.
The tarp was spread atop the ice, its edges weighted down with piled-on snow. Then two industrial-sized space heaters were set up at either end, their exhaust hoses stuck under the edges. The two heaters put out a total of a 1 million British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour, Tyler said. (Just to compare, the space heater that's been under your desk all winter might run about 5,000 BTU, tops.)
Those two heaters kept the temperature under the tarp in the 70s even as the outside temperature passed zero on the way down. It was still three days before the ice and snow melted, Tyler said.
All that melting and shoveling got Tyler and his crew — which includes full-time assistant Cory Myers and, in a "normal" year, two other crewmen — to the point where they could think about doing the things they usually do to prepare the field: tilling to aerate the clay parts, fertilizer on the grass, the first pass with the mowers.
It's about more than having a field that looks good, Tyler said. There are plenty of stories about how dirt that's not firm enough can cause a player to lose his footing, or cause a ball to take a bad hop and injure someone.
"Our goal is to have a safe field for the players. We don't want to cause any injuries," he said.
And then there's the intangible effect of walking into a baseball stadium, through the gates and up to the seats and catching that first glimpse of the playing field.
For the fans, Tyler said, "walking out to that field and seeing the green grass makes it feel like spring, even if it's not."

So I just went in and had my IUD taken out today. Our son is already a year old...14 months to be exact and ideally I would like to get pregnant sometime before our son turns 2. I had some concerns since I still have not had my first postpartum AF, but I went and had testing and an ultrasound and I think it's related to extended breastfeeding. In saying that I guess I am just waiting for weaning and for ovulation to restart again.
Have any of you had luck in charting your fertility while breastfeeding? Or is that pretty much a hopeless cause?
Anyways, we are not officially ttc since I am not officially fertile, but I am just curious about some of your experiences.

Uncle Bob's is the first time I have used self storage. I was leery and walked away from a different company before I found the Two Notch location. The staff greeted me with friendly conversation and laid everything out quickly so that I could begin moving in ASAP. Have never felt so welcome walking into a store!!!Kevin from Columbia, SC

The manager at the Bush River Rd location was THE reason I rented there. She was very up front and helped me with what I wanted to. She gave me a great deal and even provided with a lock (which I returned). If every manager were this good, every space would be filled always.Robert from Irmo, SC
