In the 1680s antiquarian John Aubrey was the first Englishman to mention the observance of April Fool's Day. He stated that it was celebrated all over Germany, but folklorists assume that the holiday was imported from France, where seems to have been well-established by the 1650s. They also speculate that this mock-holiday arose to fill the gap as the tradition of sanctioning all kinds of misrule during the Christmas holiday season waned (think the cruel jokes perpetrated on Shakespeare's Malvolio during Twelfth Night). In comparison, April Fool's was a more civilized occasion for mischief-making, being confined to one day and the only kind of horseplay authorized was to trick others into making public spectacles of themselves.
In the eighteenth-century England, perpetrating hoaxes upon the unwary was ubiquitous on April 1, if we can believe contemporary writers. Age and class came into play because children were allowed to try and deceive adults and members of a higher class could impose on someone of a lower class. Making an April fool of someone was not below the likes of Jonathan Swift, who in 1713 sat up late with some friends cooking up a prank. Convincing someone to go on a wild goose chase (or sleeveless errand as it is also called) for things that didn't exist, like pigeon's milk or the biography of Eve's mother, was a favorite ploy.
The first description of an April Fool's sleeveless errand was described in a notice in the April 2nd 1698 issue of Dawk's News-Letter: "Several persons were sent to the Tower Ditch [i.e. the Tower of London's moat] to see the Lions washed." One of the city's great tourist destinations, visitors since the reign of Elizabeth I went the royal menagerie to gawk at caged lions, tigers, bears, elephants, etc. The lions were kept in the barbican called the Bulwark, which was renamed the Lion Tower. The fast-talking trickster would convince his gullible victim that every year on April 1 the lions were taken down to the moat for a bath. All one had to do to enjoy the spectacle was enter by the White Gate. Of course, there was no such gate or any wet lions… In the nineteenth century, the merry sometimes distributed fake tickets of admission.
In honor of the day, here are two accounts of washing the lions from two eighteenth century children's books, which may be unknown in the literature on the holiday (they are reproduced from the British Library copies on Eighteenth-Century Collections On-Line). The first comes from the last chapter of Travels of Tom Thumb Over England and Wales (1746), where the intrepid little narrator confesses to being taken in by the story of the lions' public grooming (he also mentions that the most common visitors to the Tower lions are pregnant women, who want to know the sex of their babies!) .
The second, more substantial description of washing the lions comes from chapter 8 of Richard Johnson's The Picture Exhibition (1783). Here the narrator is a school boy, telling about the picture he drew of an April Fool's prank in progress. He clearly disapproves of the scene he records and there is something distasteful about the watermen's gratuitous cruelty towards the poor fellow from the country. While the tone of the narrator's lecture about appropriate behaviour is too prosy for modern tastes, it should be said in his defense that he was expressing quite enlightened views at a time when blood sports were tolerated and jokes based on highly offensive gender and class stereotypes could be told without embarassment.
P.S. Princeton has a plethora of lions to wash, if anyone on campus wants to revive the tradition…

West-Coast Programs Opens its Second Season at All Star Karting Facility
CONCORD, N.C. – After a successful initial year in 2012, the WKA West Super Series returns for its second season this weekend to the famed All-Star Karting facility in Prairie City, California.
Series organizers, acting off great momentum from a very popular first year, are excited to mirror the same tracks for a seven-race program again in 2013.
Seven dates will once again make up the calendar for the series' sophomore season, which will bring back series sponsors, Bridgestone, RLV, and Grand Products, along with classes that are sure to suit any karter.
As was the case in 2012, official practice dates, pit parking, and registration for each round will be held the day prior to each Sunday race day.
Classes for the 2013 campaign will spread all age categories once again, as well as consist of both two and four cycle machines, all running on Bridgestone rubber.
Returning deadline classes on the 2-cycle side will be the RLV-supported PRD Spec Senior, while for Box Stock Clone Senior will head up the 4-cycle program. Other classes offered for 2013 will be Kid Kart, Comer Junior 1, KPV Juniors 1 and 2, TAG, Shifter categories and Clone Junior Categories.
Like last year, West Series points will be posted on the WKA website. WKA currently is working on a 2013 season entry form and a web page devoted to the series.

Western Carolina's Markie-Lynn Studnicky scored the game winner at the 87:09 mark of the game off a ricochet. Samantha Hodge sent a shot to the net that caromed off the right post and to a charging Studnicky for the lone goal of the game.
The Catamounts outshot Chattanooga 14-5 with an 8-2 shots on goal advantage. The Mocs got shots from five different players with shots on goal from senior Tayler Shelby (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Crystal Mackezyk (Columbia, Tenn.). Hodge and Studnicky each recorded three shots for the Cats. Chattanooga keeper freshman Lauren Thomas (Germantown, Tenn.) made seven grabs in the game to two for WCU's Jennifer Lauer.
The Mocs will travel to Charleston, S.C., to take on the College of Charleston Friday at 7 p.m. at Patriot's Point and then over to The Citadel on Sunday afternoon. Check GoMocs.com for live stats.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by silvinacecchi so so so so tight!!!! I love this boots. After reading the reviews i decided to order 1 size up I usually wear a 7. They fit me ok but when i try to close the zipper it was impossible!!! I can't return this boot because i live far away so i decided to fight for them . I spent to hours using them, so they stretch and every ten minutes i closed the zipper a little bit more After using them for 3 hours i felt my legs were going to explode. I will still try to stretch then The quality is excellent. I love this boots 4.7.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by kat_heather Green/Grey Combo - Didn't Work Out Wow. I really wanted to like these boots but there were two major issues. First off, they came broken, with one of the top straps half-way pulled off with a gaping hole on top side of the boot shaft. This obviously happened when the first person to receive these boots tried to get them on and tore the strap. I realized this when I gave them a go. The shaft of the boot is comically narrow. I have rather slim calves and I got the boot on, but looked like I was wearing leg braces from the tightness. I still have nothing but love for Free People, but these boots are a travesty. 3.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by leopardkitten Great for skinny legs I took a chance after reading lots of reviews saying these ran small for their calves. I have rather skinny calves around 12" circumference and these fit almost perfect. There is about a quarter to half inch of space in the calves but that is bearable. I cannot stand the normal inch of space that I get when trying to find boots. I wish there were more boot makers like duo that sized based on calf width. The only problem with duo is that they don't have a lot of variations in style. 3.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sallie17 boots just love them too pieces perfect fit hope im the only one in australia with them sooooo happy 6.9.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MeganMoon Perfect for my legs! A+++ I have small calves and most tall boots I wear look ridiculous because my legs look like they are swimming in them but these fit GREAT! I am very pleased. The rusty orange color on the boot is a little lighter than the picture but other than that they are great and very comfy! 3.25.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LMJ extremely tight the boots look good, but they are for girls with skin legs. I am skim, but they are still tight. 3.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FaithHopeLove I am in LOVE with these Boots!!! Absolutely LOVE these!!! These are the first and only boots that have every fit me this well!!! I am bow-legged and have skinny legs, so other boots are way too large on my legs or make my bow-legs look worse. These hide them so well and are not too big for once. I would buy them in every color offered, if they had more choices. I bought the black/gray pair and will now be purchasing the tan/orange ones too. I have searched for years trying to find comfortable and cute boots that fit. I will shop here from now on. They are stylish, FIT amazingly well, are comfortable, and the sale price is a bargain also. I am in love and can't wait to wear them!!! I am petite, and they still look nice. They go up to my knees, but don't look too tall either. They would compliment any height. I have plenty of extra room in the calves and every place else to wear thicker socks.. I am usually a six 6.5 and bought the size 7. :) 3.11.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by xa00 the shaft for your leg IS way, way too small I just got my pair yesterday and everything was good until y tried to zip'em up! I have no intention on returning them as it is international shippment, besides, I do like them very much, so I'm just in the hope that they will stretch out. If you have any tips for that, I'll appreciate. 3.8.2013

Chicago pulled to 2-0 with a short-handed tally when Miller wrapped around the back of the goal and put the puck into the empty net 3:23 into the last period.
Lindback (2-1-0) stopped 29 shots for Milwaukee.
Milwaukee (33-16-2-7) ended Chicago's shutout bid with 1:43 left in the third period when center Mark Van Guilder redirected a shot from defenseman Aaron Johnson at the doorstep past MacIntyre (12-5-1).

The Stokke Handysitt is more than just a high chair. With its timeless Danish design and innovative features, the Handysitt offers the ultimate in convenience, style, and function.
Designed for kids 6 months - 5 years old, the Portable Seat transforms just about any adult chair into a high chair. At only 5 pounds, it's a space-saving and portable seating solution that makes everyday family life a little easier.
And unlike usual high chairs that have trays that sit apart from the table, the Handysitt brings your child up to the table with you. Research shows that sitting together with the family at mealtime is an ideal place for language and social skill development. Now dining can become a time to bond and learn for baby.
How It Works
The Portable Seat's feet slide into pop-up hinges on the Chair. A hidden magnetic system then powerfully connects the steel arms of the Portable Seat to the Chair. A twist and pull separates them. Steel arms on the Portable Seat slide and adjust to fit different adult chairs. Once the arms are correctly extended, they can be tightened by hand.
The Portable Seat folds flat so it's easy to store or travel with. Hide it in a closet or car trunk, hang it on a wall, or stuff it in a suitcase. Folded, it measures 21.5″ × 3.5″ × 12.5″, and at only 5 pounds is the world's most compact high chair.
Because it's a versatile wooden high chair and more, you'll use it beyond the toddler years. Not many other high chairs can make that claim, and as your children grow, you won't need to buy a high chair, then a booster seat, then a chair. With the addition of the StandAlone (sold separately), you can turn your Portable Seat into a freestanding chair that can be used anywhere. That's a solid investment.
- Folds completely flat so you can toss it in a closet or back seat of the car, hang it on a rack, or put it in a suitcase
- Brings your child up to the table with you, rather than sitting apart from the family.
- Made from FSC-certified birch wood and steel, it's a strong, durable and environmentally responsible product
- 3-year manufacturer warranty on all parts
- Meets all US (ASTM) and European (TUV) safety standards
- Works on chairs with a back height of 12-18.5" and back width greater than 13.5".

For degree, see Choice of Majors, below.
The Pre-Dental advising track is designed for students who have
demonstrated an interest in dentistry-related fields. Students
declaring an interest in this concentration will be designated as
Pre-Professional and be tracked for progress throughout their
academic career at the Mount.
At the College, we prepare students for several Pre-Professional
programs which include Dentistry, Medicine, Physical Therapy,
Physician Assistant, Podiatry, and Veterinary.
Choice of Major. No school of dentistry
requires a specific major of its applicants; however, they
recognize the importance of a strong foundation in the natural
sciences which includes biology, chemistry, physics and
mathematics. The current "Pre-Dentistry" curriculum offered at the
College follows the course requirements recommended by the American
Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) and is similar to that
offered by virtually all schools in the US.
It includes:
Although these course requirements can be met while pursuing any
area of study at the College, they are embedded in the Biology
major. The Division of Natural Science is of the opinion that
completion of requirements for a BA in biology best prepares the
students for further studies in areas of their choosing. This is
supported by a recent report "Scientific Foundations for Future
Physicians" from the AAMC (Association of American Medical
Colleges) and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), which
recommended that medical and premedical education evolve from a
static listing of courses to a dynamic set of competencies.
The competencies defined as the knowledge, skill, or attitude
that enables an individual to learn and perform in medical practice
include the ability to:
All the competencies defined above are addressed in the Biology
Academic and scientific accomplishments, while important, are
not sufficient for entry into professional programs. A critical
aspect is the development of physician–patient relationship. It is
expected that the incoming students be altruistic and dutiful.
Students are expected to be aware of community and public health
issues and understand that there are several complex,
non–biological causes that can result in poor health. While a
commitment to making evidence-based decisions is required, it is
also expected that the future professionals will make ethical
decisions, based on compassion, respect, and integrity.
There are many advantages to being a Pre-Dental student at the
Pre-professional advisor. A Pre-Dental advisor
is available for consultation about your progress towards
acceptance to dental school. Regular meetings of Pre-Professional
students, reminders about deadlines, formation of a
Pre-Professional committee for recommendations, and one-on-one
personal attention from our full-time faculty advisor are what you
can expect as a Pre-Dental student at the Mount.
A strong peer group. Science majors quickly
become a part of the science community at the Mount. Students who
have majors within the Division of Natural Science take their math
and science classes together and quickly form study groups,
supporting each other in their courses. This peer support is a
great way to make new friends with goals and attitudes similar to
your own.
Peer tutoring. Science majors work together
toward a successful college career as upper-classmen serve as peer
tutors (as one-on-one or drop-in tutors, or as recitation leaders)
and all students have the opportunity to get help to support their
learning efforts. Not only will tutoring provide you with income,
but it will also help you to build your resume and strengthen your
knowledge base.
Research. All full time faculty members have
PhD degrees in a variety of different fields and can offer you the
opportunity to develop a research project which will help you to
apply your coursework to real problems. A research project not only
will enhance your knowledge and ability to integrate your learning,
but it will impress graduate schools and future employers, giving
you an edge when you move on from your studies at the Mount.
Learning science as a process. Many of our
laboratory courses use inquiry-based collaborative learning to
introduce students to the process of science and give you an idea
of what scientific research is all about.
Mentoring. All science students are assigned a
full-time faculty advisor to help you explore career options, plan
your course schedule, and follow your academic progress. New
freshmen are assigned a "science sibling" before coming to campus,
so that they have the opportunity to ask questions of an
upperclassmen, student to student.
Opportunities outside of the classroom. You
could be a student representative at division meetings, an officer
in the Biology and Chemistry honor societies, or participate with
the American Chemical Society student chapter on campus. Students
organize speakers, museum tours, hiking trips, campus activities
like faculty vs. student quiz bowl, and science night for
elementary school students. You'll get involved in things you
enjoy, while providing you more opportunities to meet new people,
interact with the faculty, and develop your leadership skills.
Students declaring an interest in this concentration will be
designated as Pre-Dental / Pre-Professional and will be tracked for
progress throughout their academic career. The advisory committee
will write a joint recommendation letter in support of a student's
candidacy only if the student has met the criteria listed
Dentistry is a profession comprised of primary health care
practitioners who evaluate, diagnose, prevent, and treat disease
disorders or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area, and
other associated structures and their effects on the human body.
There are two dental degrees: DDS, Doctor of Dental Surgery, and
DMD, Doctor of Dental Medicine. Dental schools decide to award
either degree, both of which indicate general dentistry, because
the curriculum for each degree is the same.
Besides the general dentistry described above, there are a
number of specialty areas in dental practice:
Dental Public Health is the science of dental
practice relating to community rather than the individual. Dental
diseases are prevented and controlled through organized community
efforts, particularly through education.
Orthodontics is a dental specialty concerned
with growing or mature dentofacial structures. Through diagnosis,
interception, and treatment, movement of teeth can be accomplished
by the use of corrective appliances (braces).
Periodontics is the specialty of dentistry
related to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseased tissues
supporting and surrounding teeth (gums). Dentures are made to
maintain oral health, function, and esthetics.
Other specialties include: oral and maxillofacial surgery,
pediatric dentistry, and prosthodontics.
The projected 2004-2014 national employment outlook predicts a
25.8% increase in jobs for healthcare practitioners and those in
technical occupations.

"For me, the Wolves were a stepping-stone to make the National Hockey League. I went to Chicago after my fourth year of being a professional and I was really underachieving," he recalled. "John Anderson and everyone else in the organization pushed me to be a better athlete and really helped me develop as a player. The Wolves, for me, were really pivotal in my career and I don't know if I would have made the NHL without them."
Popovic made the most of his three seasons with the Wolves, racking up 78 points in 138 contests. He also made quite a few friendships along the way.
"I keep in touch with Jason Krog and Darren Haydar," he said. "I got married this summer and they came out there. I just spoke with coach John Anderson last week. When you are in a winning atmosphere and positive place, you tend to develop great friendships with those you play with. I think that I made more friends in those few years there than I did anywhere else."
When Popovic thinks back to the challenges he faced he can't help but laugh. His biggest challenge came when it was time to move on from the Wolves.
"The organization was such a good place to play and at the same time they have high expectations. Once you were there, you didn't want to play anywhere else."
Everyone there is just like a big family, and it was just a blast. The coaches, the owners, they really care. The things I remember the most were the golf outings, the Get Fed events. I tell you one thing, my wife (girlfriend at the time) loved going to the games because she was treated so well. It's funny, not only do the players want to go back, but the wives and girlfriends do too."

How do I use LifeProof around water?
Last Updated: 10/25/2012 8:48 pm
LifeProof is designed to reliably seal your iPhone against water provided you carefully follow the instructions.
During Use
Never open the charge port door, case, or headphone port while in water as it will flood the case, causing damage to your phone.
You can use all features as normal above water.
Feel free to use the LifeProof case freely in the pool, ocean, hot tub, or in severe weather.
Do not exceed a depth of 6.6 feet (2 meters) underwater. While the case has been tested to substantially greater depths, it is sensible to allow for this margin of safety to avoid disappointment.
In underwater environments, the touch screen will not respond because of how the electronics work. You can use the touch screen above water to start and stop video recording or music playback if you like.
When using the Camera App you can use the "Volume Up" button to take a picture.
The video camera and microphones continue to function under water.
Wireless signals do not work well under water and may fade.
When you come to the surface, some water may be trapped on the outside of the camera lens. A quick shake of the phone should remove it instantly.
It is usual to see a small stream or bubbles escaping from the microphone or speaker vents when first submerged.
After Use
Clean your case liberally with clean fresh water to rinse off all salt, dirt, sand, or chlorine. Shake off excess water and dry with a clean, soft cloth.

(August 2, 2010) - On Aug. 2, U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) visited the campus of Hagerstown Community College to present a ceremonial check for $1.8 million as part of a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to support HCC's alternative energy technology program.
"This funding will allow us to greatly expand our alternative energy program," said HCC President Guy Altieri. "During the next three years, we anticipate that through credit and non-credit courses in this area, we will be able to train 675 students, who will be able to take these skills and get good jobs in this growing industry."
HCC received the money as part of a the U.S. Department of Labor Community-Based Job Training grant to expand training in clean energy technology. HCC's credit-based program includes an associate degree in alternative energy technology as well as certificates in solar/wind energy and geothermal energy. Non-credit courses will also be offered as a way to allow students to explore areas in this field or add to their existing job skills.
"Jobs are the key to our economic recovery and this job training grant for the U.S. Department of Labor will make it easier for residents of Washington County to obtain the training they need to get jobs in new and emerging industries," said Senator Cardin.
For more information on HCC's alternative energy technology program, contact Tony Valente, lead instructor, at 301-790-2800, ext. 581, or via e-mail at email@example.com.

I drink alot of dark roast coffee. But house blend and breakfast are my favorite k cups. Pike is the worst just my opinion
Having had the Pikes Place, I thought I would give this lighter version a try. To me it was so bad I threw it out. My household agreed but I see others enjoy it. It tasted old, bitter, thin on taste. Left a bad taste in our mouths. But I still like Starbucks coffees and will keep trying. Just bought the decaf house blend since we like decaf in the afternoon and hubby only drinks decaf. I agree with others, Starbucks needs more decaf choices.
Best coffee if you want and full bodied flavorful but not bitter coffee. I hope Starbucks never stops making this in K cups. Love, love, love it.
I love the breakfast blend. Not so strong that I can't tolerate it, but strong enough to be a rich, robust cup of coffee. Very pleased with the coffee as well as the service I received.
I love these k-cups! just waiting for a decaf brand
I bought this after trying many of the different brands for the K-cup line. I have to say it was the best I have tried so far. It has a full rich flavor with out that too strong taste.
I am a one cup coffee girl. The taste is very smooth. Love it.. Not strong like some of the others. Enjoyed!
Will buy this again..
The "Breakfast Blend" is a wonderfully smooth start to the day. Not too acidic, not too woody, just right.
I've tried all the Doughnut Shop and other K-Cup Coffee, But this one is hands down the very best. You can even smell the difference as well as taste the difference. Perfect Coffee first thing in the morning. You should try this before you buy something else.
I was SO excited to see Starbucks come out with K-cups only to be disappointed there are no decaf offerings. You don't have to drink caffeine to appreciate good coffee. In fact, the decaf drinkers might have a greater appreciation for good coffee because we obviously don't drink it for the "kick". I realize we are the minority, but not even one decaf is a real bummer, Starbucks!

Offered today per his twitter
Scheduled for JD2
Offered today per his twitter
Scheduled for JD2
i say got damn
Hold on. Were those high school football teams? Incredible speed and size on both sides.
I think Torrodney just became my favorite recruit.
Appears athletic and quick. I'd like that next to our crew of big nasties just fine. Who does he favor and where is he originally from?
Haven't had a good Rodney in the Houston area since Rodney McCray or James Rodney Richard.
Why hasn't this guy been getting more attention? He seriously reminds me of Jadeveon Clowney. He's not quite as freakishly dominant as Clowney, but he's tall, fast, and powerful, and blowing up plays in the backfield constantly.
We're not gonna get him cuz we don't play DJ Screw over the loud speakers at our games, and with him being from H-town...he will take that as a big diss.....and with a name like Torrodney, I doubt he will like that fiddle $#@!.
35 ish on 247 list. Everyone just offered - ou, lsu, aggy, and Texas.
that is one quick defensive end. damn.
UT, OU, Baylor all offer DE Prevot
Torrodney Prevot (Houston, Texas/Taylor) scored a huge trifecta Thursday.
The talented defensive end woke up Thursday morning with three offers. He scored three more within roughly a 90-minute span by early Thursday afternoon, as Texas, Oklahoma and Baylor all put themselves in the running for Prevot's services for 2013. Prevot had offers from LSU, Texas A&M and Utah, which he picked up earlier this week.
"It's amazing," said Prevot, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound end. "I'm just trying to stay humble and keep focus."
Baylor was the first to offer late Thursday morning. Oklahoma offered quickly afterward. Texas then offered minutes after that.
Of the three, Texas and Oklahoma seemed to spark Prevot the most, although he is quite intrigued by Baylor. He has been a longtime fan of the Longhorns, and he has had the utmost respect for Oklahoma for several years. Defensive ends coach Oscar Giles has been Prevot's recruiting contact at Texas.
"The city of Austin is amazing, and I've always liked Texas," Prevot said. "It used to be my dream school. I've always followed Mack Brown. The coaching staff is great, and I would love to see them grow in interest."
He then added something special for Longhorns fans.
"I like the color of burnt orange," he said.
As for Oklahoma, there's a high level of admiration for the program and what it has been able to accomplish. Prevot has been in contact with Sooners defensive ends coach Bobby Jack Wright. Prevot likes the fact that the Sooners have won seven national championships and are constantly in the running for a national title.
"Oklahoma is a terrific team. I would play there. The interest is definitely there," Prevot said. "We will see the best of what they have to offer and see what I can offer them as an athlete."
The wildcard of the trio is Baylor. There's a lot about the program that Prevot doesn't know -– other than the fact that the reigning Heisman Trophy winner played there -– but he's willing to learn and wants to hear more from head coach Art Briles and his coaching staff.
Prevot said inside receivers coach Kendal Briles has been his primary recruiting contact.
"I've never been to Baylor," Prevot said, "but I have heard of the interest this past summer. Up until then, it hadn't been that serious."
The winner of the Prevot sweepstakes will get a player who uses his quickness to his advantage against larger defenders. Prevot, who runs the 40 in 4.5 seconds, was an all-district selection in 2011 after recording 53 tackles and 12 sacks. Because of his speed and awareness, Prevot is being looked at as both an end and an outside linebacker.
Whatever the case, he's just happy to get looks -– and he's hoping more offers will follow.
kid has a high motor and seems to not quit on plays........making the tackle on a WR screen was enough for me.
Anyone buying 220lbs? Kid looks super skinny, but also looks like he could add a good bit of weight and be a real baller.
Slow down on the Jadaveon Clowney stuff. C'mon son.
I like that production against that level of competition. Name is also awesome.
Ya, why is it not anymore? Because we had a couple down years? Come on man
Maybe Rod Wright can help pull TorRodney - Alief connections and all.
It's amazing how much it has changed in the last 30 yrs. Somebody was just asking me about Funplex the other day - I said you mean Fame City. Had to look it up now and see that...
Beechnut Oaks acquired nearly eight acres from Houston Waterpark Associates for the development of a senior apartment complex. The vacant land was home to the former Fame City Waterpark at the northwest corner of Beechnut and Eldridge.
Oh the memories...
What about Sesame Place?
Woah, nostalgia blast there.
Yeah, recalling that one hurt my brain.
He's like a hybrid of Lawrence Taylor and Demarcus Ware, only better.
I thought Mack didn't offer unless you came to JR day. I guess he was a late bloomer on their radar?
With a name like that you can't pass up on him...
Man, Torrodney and A'shawn in the same class would be tits. Torrodashawn.
How do you say the name? It's French right, so ....Tour-rod-knee Pray-voh?
Confirmed that hes skipping a track meet this weekend to attend JD2.
His teammate just committed to a&m, but hopefully getting an offer from his dream school outweighs that
I remember when player highlights were uploaded to YouTube where people on mobile devices could actually view them. Those were the days.

Sounds like a winner.
Sprint reportedly to offer its own annual smartphone upgrade plan
T-Mobile JUMP. AT&T Next. Verizon Edge. Now Sprint, the United States' other major wireless carrier, is getting into the upgrade game with One Up, a new upgrade program to match the others. One Up is slated the same day that the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s go on sale - September 20, 2013, according to Cnet.
According to the report, Sprint's One Up will let you buy the phone you want with no money down, paid for in 24 installments. If you cancel your service early, you're responsible for the balance of the device cost, but after one year, you can upgrade to a new phone and start the clock over again.
What's more, One Up customers will get a $15 discount on Sprint's Unlimited, My Way or All-In plans. This offers Sprint customers a very palatable alternative to either AT&T or Verizon's upgrade programs - which enable you to upgrade but don't discount service. The report suggests it'll be even cheaper that T-Mobile's bargain-basement unlimited plan.
It was inevitable that Sprint would need to follow suit with the other U.S. carriers, but it's a bit surprising that it's taken them this long to get a program together: T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T announced out their respective plans in July within a couple weeks of one another.
However, it's not coincidental that Sprint is announcing this the same time that the new iPhones go on sale - a lot of customers of all four companies are going to be looking around for the best deal before committing to pay for a new phone. Major events like an iPhone release are a significant opportunity for customer churn, so Sprint is very interested in retaining as many of its customers as it can, as well as adding some new customer to the rolls.
Smartphones can be really expensive, and these upgrade plans make it easier for cash-strapped smartphone users to get the latest hardware as painlessly as possible. The upgrade plans are also a strong incentive for customers to stay loyal.
The One Up deal isn't official yet, and a representative contacted by Cnet refused to comment. But assuming it's legit, One Up should give penny-pinching smartphone shoppers a strong reason to consider America's third-largest wireless carrier.

Sprint reportedly to offer its own annual smartphone upgrade plan
Hmm... actually sounds good, so far. We'll see once all the numbers are in..
The discount on Sprints the All-in plan(includes 5gb tethering), $110/mo down to $95 a month is still more expensive than t-mobile. Tmo is $70/mo for unlimited(includes 2.5 gb tethering now) + $20/mo for phone. With Sprint you're still paying for the phone on top of the $95/mo.. Probably around $20-30/mo; depending on the phone you pick.
Sooooo, this is what I think it will look like with their Unlimited plans compared.
T-mobile: $70/mo + $15-22/mo + $10/mo for Jump = ~ $102
- (Also doubles as Warranty)
Sprint: $95/mo + $20-30/mo = ~ $125
- (I think higher because downpayment and doubles as One Up plan / phone payment)
Not too big of a difference if above numbers for Sprint prove true.
But at least it's not a complete rape fest like AT&T and Verizon.
Sounds like an option, if only sprint were a reliable/fast enough network around here to consider it. I don't care if its free... With the network reliability my parents have with their 4S's on sprints network (having to go outside to make/take a call and text messages they send me taking 1-2 weeks at times for me to receive them), it's not even an option.
Sent from the iMore App
Listen - that may be a good deal - but I've been on Sprint since the 4s came out, and can't wait to get off my contract. In fact, I have it circled on all my calendars.
I live in Nashville. I work near a university that has Sprint towers on campus. I get full bars. And the data NEVER works. It takes forever to send text messages. Maps never download. There is a stretch on my drive home where I never have any data.
This has been a horrible experience. I'm not the only one in town that feels this way.
To be honest - you could give me a Sprint phone and service for free - and I would turn it down. Its just not worth the headache I've had. I never thought it could be as bad as others said - but it is.
sounds like theres some serious issues. i mean im in TN too. East TN to be exact (Johnson City) and I have full bars and data is not an issue with my iPhone 4s and yeah Ive been with them since the 4s came out.
I wouldn't if it was me.
Sprint service is the worse. I live in north jersey right outside and of NYC and we still don't have any LTE coverage. 3G speeds are unusable and ridiculously slow. I will be leaving for AT

Food Safety Research Priorities
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has developed a listing of the top food safety research areas of interest.
While FSIS is not a research funding organization, it recognizes the importance of keeping abreast of the latest scientific endeavors as well as its role in promoting research in areas important to the FSIS mission. This listing supports three of the FSIS 2011-2016 Strategic Plan goals:
- strengthen collaboration among internal and external stakeholders to prevent foodborne illness,
- effectively use science to understand foodborne illness and emerging trends, and
- implement effective policies to respond to existing and emerging risks.
These priorities are presented as suggestions for researchers interested in pursuing food safety objectives that are relevant to FSIS regulated products. This list of research areas of interest may be useful to researchers who are preparing grants for submission to agencies that fund food safety research (e.g., USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (http://www.nifa.usda.gov), National Institutes of Health (http://www.nih.gov), http://www.grants.gov), or researchers with resources to conduct such research.
While FSIS is extremely interested in these research areas, this interest does not imply that the data and/or technologies generated by this research will be endorsed by FSIS.
This list represents FSIS' current assessment of priority research that will help further its public health mission; the list will be updated biannually. We encourage researchers to contact Dr. John Johnston by email (email@example.com) or at (202) 365-7175 with questions. We also welcome information about research on related topics not currently listed here.
Select "For More Information" for any of the topics in the table below for a more detailed description and suggested research studies.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis End Their Vacation With Dinner at Red Lobster … With His Entire Family
Now that he has filed his divorce papers with Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher is getting serious with current girlfriend Mila Kunis!
We already reported that Ashton was taking Mila to meet the family in Iowa for the holidays, but now we have learned how the happy couple spent their final evening with the family.
Us Weekly reports that after a week of family bonding, Ashton and Mila joined nearly two dozen members of Ashton's family for a Christmas dinner at Red Lobster on Dec. 26.
Witnesses report that the dinner was very casual, with Ashton wearing a sweatshirt and jeans and Mila wearing minimal makeup. Mila talked about her family and Africa as Ashton kept an arm around her waist throughout the meal.
A witness told us, "They were both laughing ... She looked like she was almost part of the family — she got along well with them."
Just one day later, the couple was back to having a one-on-one lunch in Chicago. It certainly seems like the meet-the-parents went well. Could Mila and Ashton be in it for the long haul?

Fresh coffee was available to citizens as they entered the police training room on Sept. 10, for the first of eight weekly citizens police academy classes hosted by the Goose Creek Police Department.
About 18 citizens attended the unique opportunity to learn about the police force.
"We live in a great country where we can freely assemble," 34-year law enforcement veteran GCPD Chief Harvey Becker said.
Becker has spent 33 of his years in law enforcement at GCPD and 25 years as chief.
Patrol Division Commander Capt. Shawn Laffey said he has spent all 18 of his years in law enforcement at GCPD. He said there are 46 traffic patrol officers.
Capt. David Aarons is the special operations division commander and essentially runs the citizens police academy. He has spent 17 years in law enforcement, most of them at GCPD.
Crime Prevention Specialist Kevin Scott said he's been at GCPD nearly five years.
"The intent is not to teach you to be a police officer, but to inform you of why we do what we do," Becker said. "You're educated and informed and you can educate and inform your friends.
"We are not as effective as we can be if you don't trust us. We need you to be our eyes and ears. I don't think we want to live in a police state where there is an officer at every corner. Hopefully this (academy) will lead to a stronger trust-based relationship."
Scott said every city faces challenges, and Goose Creek is no different.
"Drugs are there," he said. "I don't care what socio-economic neighborhood you live in. We don't have a bubble over Goose Creek. What we're seeing more and more of are meth labs. It's scary stuff."
Becker handed out a 10-question multiple choice quiz to test each citizen's knowledge of GCPD and overall police operations. This included information such as the $33,000 annual starting salary for a certified police officer and the 2013 department budget of $6 million, a question many got wrong.
Becker said it is a 24/7 operation that includes holiday pay. He said fringe benefits are health insurance, retirement and workman's comp.
"Salaries are much of the operating cost," Becker said. "Gas. There's always a motor running."
This is the third year GCPD has had enough interest from the public to conduct the classes. The first one was in 2004 and the last one was in 2007.
"It's a collateral resource," Aarons said. "Everyone who comes here has already worked a full day."
A monthly report handed to citizens showed in August 2013 there were 86 crimes against persons, 110 against property, 10 traffic DUIs, seven bench warrant cases, seven alcohol violations and three weapons violations.

The S.C. Sea Grant Consortium is funding a social-science research project developed by Annette Watson, Ph.D., assistant professor of human-environment geography in the College of Charleston's Department of Political Science. For this project, titled "Coastal Livelihoods and the Local Sense of Place," Watson and her colleagues are studying three different populations — commercial, subsistence and recreational fishermen — in rural McClellanville, suburbanizing Awendaw and urbanizing Mount Pleasant. The researchers will use innovative interviewing techniques and quantitative analysis to help long-time residents and newcomers identify special fishing places that they want to protect and find commonalities for land-use planning purposes.
Residents of these three rapidly changing communities in northern Charleston County share a respect for the health of local waterways. "We're trying to get a holistic picture of what people are thinking about the coast and its waterways and what they want for the coast," said Watson.
The project aims to determine the senses of place experienced by life-long residents; spatially measure access to coastal resources historically used by life-long residents; determine the relationship between long-term residents' economic practices and their environmental values; test whether different community identities can find commonalities in their values; and develop common indicators that community leaders can use to track changes through time.
Additional growth is predicted to occur along this corridor of Highway 17 known as the "Sewee to Santee" region, and this research will address similarities in social-ecological relationships to assist community leaders with land-use planning.
Watson and her colleagues are actively seeking long-time residents and newcomers who want to participate in the study. To learn more about the project or volunteer to participate, contact Watson at 843-953-5864 or email@example.com.
The S.C. Sea Grant Consortium seeks to enhance the practical use and conservation of South Carolina's coastal and marine resources to foster a sustainable economy and environment. The consortium is a member of the nationwide network of 33 Sea Grant College programs, and is supported by the State of South Carolina and the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program, U.S. Department of Commerce.

Pop singers are always the best-looking bunch of people when on stage. How someone could be all made up, dancing vigorously and still keeping tune to the song is truly a testament to their skill.
And that's where this video comes in:
Though we all know pop stars tend to mime on stage, leaving the rest to play decks and stage theatrics, it's great to know someone at the sound desk wants to have a memento of their handy work.
The most recent of Britney's lip-synching antics was last year in Australia, where fans were so upset that they left within a few songs.
Given that Britney's been on the scene for so long, it's a given that she's most likely lip-synching. But does it matter?
Top of the Pops has been through various set-ups for miming and backing tracks since their 1964 start-up.
Janet and Michael Jackson, Milli Vanilli, Ashlee Simpson, Queen, even 50 Cent and R. Kelly have mimed on stage. Yet people are still going to their concerts.
Well…actually those aren't perfect examples.
This reminds me of professional wrestling, and how finding out about it all being fake was like learning Santa discouraged a working union for his elves.
Now when I see it, it is something entirely different. Instead of "Ohh, that looked painful!" it's now "Wow, that was well orchestrated!".
I had to come to terms that it was all entertainment. If I loved the album for what it was, then I shouldn't need to see a live performance.
Well, this is how one would think under those conditions, but oh how wrong it is to think such a thing.
I've been to gigs that have forever opened my mind, and it was because it was the true power of performance.
Britney Spears can continue, but can't charge the same arm-and-a-leg price. People still bring handwritten signs to professional wrestling.

Summerville will grow from zero pediatric emergency or urgent care units to two later this year, with both Summerville Medical Center and MUSC Children's Hospital planning specialty facilities.
Summerville Medical Center announced in January it would build a pediatric emergency room as an adjunct to its main emergency department.
It also plans to expand a dedicated inpatient pediatric wing, building upon a temporary facility that opened last summer.
The emergency room will have dedicated pediatric ER physicians – the hospital is currently recruiting five new doctors – and both the ER and inpatient unit will have "child-friendly" art, colors and lighting.
CEO Lou Caputo said Trident Health System looked at its statistics for young visitors at its three emergency rooms and was "really taken aback by the sheer volume."
It decided to focus its pediatric care at the Summerville location because of the area's demographics.
"It's a young population, a child-bearing population, so we decided we needed to really improve our pediatric service and expand our capabilities," he said.
As a father of three himself, it's exciting to be able to offer "a greater depth and breadth" of pediatric services, he said.
The new services should be ready in early fall, he said.
Meanwhile, MUSC Children's Hospital is moving forward with plans to build a pediatric after-hours care center a stone's throw away, at Ladson Road and the entrance to the Planter's Retreat apartments.
John Sanders, the administrator of MUSC Children's Hospital, said the site should be open within a year.
It will provide the same services as after-hours facilities in North Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, he said.
Those units provide care for colds and flu, strains, sprains and fractures, simple laceration repair and foreign body removal, among other services.
Sanders said pediatricians like that the service is there for their clients nights and weekends, and the hospital is practiced at keeping the primary care doctor informed of the care it provided.
Most importantly, the hospital understands the needs of children, he said.
"Kids are not little adults. That's all we do," he said.
Children often react differently to illness than adults, he said. Because the hospital's doctors and nurses work only with children, they know what to look for, he said.
The hospital recently went before the Commercial Design Review Board, which gave conditional approval for the site layout but asked the hospital to rework the building design by looking to new medical offices on Midland Parkway for guidance.

The Robinson family was in a state of disbelief as they heard the verdict of not guilty for Jonathan Ferrell, who was charged with murder in the shooting death of Wyatt Robinson, Jr.
Tension had been growing between the two families during the week before the shooting. Jonathan Ferrell had called Rebecca Robinson and arranged a meeting to talk to her of a suspected relationship between his wife and her husband. Wyatt and Rebecca Robinson had each made one visit to the Ferrell home to talk. After hearing of another conversation between Mrs. Robinson and Mr. Ferrell, Mr. Robinson decided to go to back to the Ferrell home on the evening of November 21, 2010. Closing arguments Friday morning told two different versions of what may have happened during that visit.
Prosecuting Attorney Todd Goudy told the jury Jonathan Ferrell may have been angry about the relationship Robinson was having with his wife. He said Ferrell may have manipulated the situation to get Robinson there, giving him an opportunity to shoot him. He said the fact Ferrell armed himself before going out to talk with Robinson may have been an indication of a premedition. He reiterated testimony of concerns and theories about the number of times and placement of shots, as well as where Mr. Robinson's body was after being shots ended.
Defense Attorney Brian Abraham told the jury Wyatt Robinson may have been angry and ready for a fight when he went to Ferrell's house. Abraham said Mr. Ferrell may have been afraid Robinson might harm him or his family and armed himself for protection before going out on the porch to ask Robinson to leave. Abraham concluded the story saying Ferrell's instincts may have taken over and he shot Robinson after being hit in the face hard enough to loosen his teeth and knock him off balance. He said witnesses testified to one long shot or one burst of shots, the expert had demonstrated how the placement might have come about and the crime scene was compromised following the shooting and the two casings found away from the porch may have been kicked or otherwise carried away from the others.
The only two people who could know exactly what happened that night were Jonathan Ferrell, who was able to tell his recollection of the events that led up to the shooting, and Wyatt Robinson, who took his version to the grave.

I just wanted to share something that few on here knew, although many knew I was sick last year and early part of this year. This birthday stands as a testament to the power of God, and I want to give Him all the glory. I was told by my specialists in Feb. of this year, that I was dying, could go anytime from lung damage caused by pneumonia and prednisone. BUT God.........

In Italy, Train Passengers Now Enjoy Free E-Books
December 27, 2012 | 2:09 pm
By Dan Eldridge
If you're the type who regularly follows international news of the ever-expanding e-book scene, you may have already heard about the unusual business collaboration between the Italian book publishing company known as RSC Libri, and the Italian train company, ITV. The partnership, which was announced at The Bookseller's FutureBook 2012 conference in London, and which has been dubbed E-books Aboard!, "will give passengers on Italian trains free access [to] e-books," according to The Bookseller. The general idea, as the post explains, is "to study the way consumers read and discover digital content." Assuming the experiment leads to any particularly eye-opening findings, it'll probably be...

Investing in a Sustainable Future
EPA's award programs lead to innovative solutions and green jobs.
Two of EPA's signature awards programs – the People, Prosperity, and Planet (P3) Student Design Competition for Sustainability and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program – have furthered the Agency's goal to advance innovation in the name of a cleaner environment and have also led to job growth.
P3 is a college competition that promotes solutions for a sustainable future. In the first phase of the competition, student teams are awarded a grant to develop a prototype technology designed to solve an environmental challenge in a sustainable way. The student teams bring what they have developed to the National Sustainable Design Expo in Washington, DC, to compete for even larger grants.
Winning teams receive additional ("phase II") grants that allow them to further their designs and bring them to the marketplace. Past winners have translated their success into the real world by starting small businesses and nonprofit organizations.
The impact of those success stories can be seen in the form of new jobs and a cleaner environment.
A 2009 winning P3 team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently established STG International , a nonprofit organization. The team, led by engineering students, designed a solar power generator that produces electricity using heat rather than photovoltaic cells.
STG International's goal is to install this energy technology in underserved communities throughout the world. So far, they have installed generators at four field sites – at Eckerd College in Florida, and at a school, a health clinic, and a village power plant located in rural southern Africa. The organization employed seven people in 2011, and the organization's work was featured in Discover Magazine and has won several awards including the ASME IShow, National Collegiate Inventors & Innovators Alliance Award, and the MIT 100K 20 Year Award.
Another P3 award-winning team started the nonprofit organization One Earth Design (OED) . This team won the P3 award in 2010 and was made up of students from Harvard University, MIT, and two Chinese universities.
These students collaborated to design and build Solsource 3-in-1, a solar powered device that cooks, provides heat, and generates electricity. Co-designed with rural communities in the Himalayas, Solsource 3-in-1 eliminates the need to burn fossil fuel and cuts down air pollution associated with traditional technologies.
OED employed 29 people in 2011, and their work has been recognized by the Dutch Postcode Lottery Green Challenge, St. Andrews Prize for the Environment, MIT $100k Competition, Clinton Global Initiative, Lemelson Foundation, Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship, and Yunus Innovation Challenge.
EPA's SBIR program provides awards to small businesses to translate innovative ideas into commercial products that address environmental problems. EPA is one of 11 federal agencies that participate in the SBIR program established by the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982.
One of EPA's biggest SBIR successes is that of Ecovative Design LLC (Ecovative) , a small business that creates renewable and biodegradable insulation and packaging materials. With support from SBIR, Ecovative developed two materials: MycoBond™, a basic material to replace hydrocarbon-derived synthetics in packaging (e.g. styrofoam), and Greensulate™, an insulating application of MycoBond™. Both materials are created by using technology that begins with growing a common white fungus on low-value agricultural byproducts (such as cottonseed hulls), which are difficult to dispose of and degrade. This technology requires 10 times less energy and emits 5 times less CO2 than petroleum-derived equivalents. Ecovative has taken this technology to the market and business is booming! They are even opening another manufacturing facility this summer.
Another successful SBIR winner, Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. (ATMI), recently won the prestigious Tibbetts Award from the Small Business Administration (SBA). ATMI won this award for the critical role they play in research and development and for their success in driving innovation and creating new jobs.
ATMI was also inducted into the Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) Hall of Fame based on its development of the Novapure Dry Scrubber System. This System uses an innovative solid scrubber material with 30 times the capacity of activated carbon, designed especially to reduce toxic air emissions from the semiconductor industry. ATMI is a great example of a company working to improve the environment while also strengthening our economy by creating jobs.

How people can get engaged in the Olympic movement
When I was asked by BRUTE to write a blog, I had some hesitation. We just started the school year here at Oklahoma State University and time was of the essence. Then I found out it came with a one week deadline and I really had reservation. Yet after visiting with one of our wrestlers who just returned from an international competition I found inspiration. I realized that I did not have to write an entry. I only had to convey in words the passion he feels for being the best. Continue readingread more

In praise of fathers
Fathers Day is Sunday. Let the grill buying begin!
My husband is a father, and a darned good one. (Widdle Jr. is smart, kind andlike his stepmotherjust a wee bit crazy.) Both my brothers are fathers, and good ones, too
although God is repaying T-Bob for the sins of his youth in the form of his rambunctious son, Alexander. Karma never fails.
But whenever I hear the word Daddy, I think of mine. He demonstrated, in word and deed, that a real man is kind, gentle and provides for his family. He wasnt perfecthe distrusted redheads and his sense of humor was somewhere around zilch. He was a staunch, God-fearing Baptist who nonetheless liked his beer. I can still hear him saying, A womans hair is her crowning glory.
I wore bikinis, but never in front of him. Til the day he died, when I was 24, I think he genuinely believed I wore woolen, knee-length bathing costumes.
His name was Roger but everyone called him Sonny, because he had three older sisters. He was quiet, honorable, and never spoke ill of others. You hear that a lot: He never said a bad word about anybody. In his case it was the gospel truth.
I am his daughter in ways large and small.
He was shy unless he was in church or at a Masonic meeting. Im shy except among friends, or after two glasses of wine. He worked hard and loved his family. Ditto. He could choke a nickel until it hollered; describing me as frugal is like saying Niagara Falls is damp. Having scored the trifecta of being Southern, Welsh, and creative, he tended to brood. Ask my husband how broody I can be. (I like to think Dad and I are in good company, along with Welshmen Dylan Thomas, Richard Burton, Lawrence of Arabia, et al.)
Dad was well-read and curious about everything. He devoured newspapers, magazines, books and the Bible, which he read cover-to-cover twice. He used to tell us stories about Alexander the Great and Aristotle, Napoleon and Thomas Jefferson. He could speak, write and read Latin, which still blows my mind. He had atrocious handwriting. For fun, he carved horses and dogs and doll-sized furniture out of knotty pine. He also shot a mean game of eight-ball.
Daddy was remarkably private. None of us knew he was voted best-dressed in high school, and was editor of both his college newspaper and yearbook (Campbell College in Buies Creek, N.C.) until after he died. For all I know he has a Pulitzer stashed somewhere. He simply didnt talk about himself.
He didnt care for cats, air conditioning or asparagus. He liked his steak well done, by which I mean charred to a crisp. He was very thin and for years struggled to gain weight. He traveled widely while in the Army, and as a result never roamed again. The farthest I can remember him going was to the Outer Banks. (When I was 12 we moved 75 miles from his birthplace, and he wrung his hands and muttered under his breath for months.) He looked exactly like Barney Fife, except his brown eyes were larger and dreamier. He had a crazy little spaniel he used to feed Vienna sausages to.
As he lay dying, my adult brothers crawled into his bed, wrapped their arms and legs around him and begged him to stay.
He was such a good man, and we miss him every day. Happy Fathers Day, Dad.

Comment on this review
Very disappointed...
By HS
from Florida
I am highly disappointed with my purchase, mostly because half of it never even arrived. I was incredibly excited when I saw that GeoSafari was still around. I remember playing with it at school as a child. I knew that the laptop, along with the expansion card pack, would be the ideal Christmas gift for my son. I purchased both the laptop and card set on Thanksgiving. I received the cards rather quickly, but the laptop didn't come with it. I waited and waited and waited. Finally, I received an email last week stating that they were sold out and discontinued. I realize that things happen, so I am not necessarily mad that I didn't get what I ordered. I just find it very inconvenient that I now have a card set that is virtually useless and must find a way to return it. It just seems like a hassle that could have been avoided with an organized record of inventory.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We sincerely apologize for your experience. Could you please email us at email@example.com or call 800-995-4436? We'll gladly take the card set back. Thank you.

I am sorry for your loss too.
I never showed any signs either. Blood pressure and urine were always fine, until I went into labor. The only sign I had was the horrible pain in the upper quadrant.
Kristin, I too was told that the baby must be pushing on my ribs or the pain was from my uterus expanding.

HP Pro 8600 AIO printer, Vista x64 on an HP computer. No surprise that the full software & drivers didn't install fully. It installed enough to print, establish wireless network connection. Not enough to scan or even access setting up scanning from the printer (to certain folder, etc.). Their "print & scan doctor" tool said "a driver is missing." OK - can I have a clue? Buy a vowel?
I'm looking for suggestions on how to pamper installing the full software / drivers, so it doesn't fail again. It's a serious issue w/ HP printer drivers. Many users (at direction of support people) just keep uninstalling / reinstalling, w/ no better results.
Everything's up to date on my system -AFAIK. MS installer & .Net framework are updated. I don't know why so many have problems installing the software so everything works (except bad programming) - especially scanning & faxing. I only need scanning. I NEVER have problems installing anything else - except Nvidia GPU drivers.
If anyone has a similar HP printer, how many hp services show in services.msc? This printer is showing NO HP entries in Services. And none for this printer in msconfig - startup.
I don't know how it differs from older HP printers, but other models I've seen had several services, like:
- HP CUE Device Discovery
- HP Network Device Support
- hpqcxs08
- Net Driver HPZ12
- PML Driver HPZ12
And maybe others. The names of drivers / services for this printer that appear in services.msc may be different than those, but it has to have some - surely?
Those services were usually found in reg HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services, IIRC. But they obviously didn't get installed there.
There are LOTS of logs from installation - can't find any (so far) that list errors installing drivers or creating reg entries.
I can do a full uninstall (using their L3 uninstaller utility in the installer package, but need to find out how to get it to install CORRECTLY. Wait till a full moon, or something... ANY suggestions?
