Hi, aside from the basics of biology I did in high schoool, I don't know anything at all about gardening. I want some vines to grow up over the back of my flat in London and eventually cover the wall. They need to be able to handle London winters and the easier to maintain the better. Can anyone tell me of any varieties I should be looking at?
Well, if it can handle a Yorkshire winter it can handle a London winter, so my father's ivy and ... what's the thing called? Looks like poison ivy ... Virginia creeper. That. They should do well. I have Hydrangea petiolaris here, which is rather prettier than plain old ivy, imo. According to the website, it grows up to 15m tall. Unless you're trying to cover a 5th floor or higher flat, that should be enough ... eventually.
It doesn't have to grow that high. You can prune anything, and it'll regrow from behind where you pruned it. With his ivy, he's got an annual job taking it down to 50cm from the gutters, and it's still in the attic again next year. It fills with bird nests every winter and spring, as it's elbow-deep on the wall.
Those are the clinging options that spring to mind. Hydrangea will happily grow as a bush in the open, but given a tree or wall it grows centipede legs and gets hold, then climbs up the surface.
The other way to do it is with trellises or wires. Some things will climb either, like some lonicera (honeysuckle) and akebia (chocolate vine) and some will only twine round fine stuff, like some other lonicera and jasmine (summer-flowering beesianum, that is, not winter-flowering nudiflorum). The drawback is that you'd have to drill into the exterior wall, hammer in wall plugs and either screw spacers to them and the trellis to the spacers or screw eye-bolts into them and tie wires all over the place. The advantage is that you could limit the vine's spread by simply not providing anything for it to climb. Just check out how far from support the vine you choose will reach. Jasmine's fairly tame that way, honeysuckle will droop flowering stems out maybe 60cm and chocolate vine will feel around for something else to climb up to a metre away. I really want to set one up indoors with a time-lapse camera on it and get video of that. It'll also grow as a low, loose bush if it can't find a support.

Because I believe in truth in advertising, I've decided to change God of War to God of Bore. Released in 2005 exclusively for the PlayStation 2, God of War is a third-person action-adventure game that I think would have made the ancient Greeks burn their temples and forsake their gods in an attempt to prevent anyone from making a game like this.
First, to me, the concept wasn't unique. Greek mythology? News flash: It's been done a hundred times in various formats (Hercules, Xena, The Odyssey). I don't think it matters that this particular format is a video game; it's still unoriginal.
Second, I thought the story was sloppy and unstructured. It started clean and exciting, but as the game progressed, I felt like I was just doing chores to see the next cinematic, which were pretty mediocre in my opinion.
Throughout the game, you get to see a series of flashbacks that reveal Kratos' life, but if you're like me, halfway through you can probably guess what happened. Also, it felt like the game was missing a boss toward the end, which hardly would have made up for the pathetic final fight anyway. During this fight, you battle a legion of Kratos "clones," which to me screams "reuse of video game assets due to apathy." It had nothing to do with the story because the point of the game was to kill Ares, not Kratos clones. Although, there is one scene that is suppose to be suspenseful but ended up being funny: A woman is hanging desperately from a rope and crying for help, and Kratos has to save her by solving a complex puzzle that takes about three minutes.
Speaking of puzzles, there were a lot in God of War, but I thought they were very "eh." There is one part in which you have to slide rocks into a certain formation to open a passageway. Boring. There is another part in which you had to find a hidden doorknob to open a door. Boring. It felt like a whole lot of filler.
Finally, I thought the voice acting was pedestrian. Kratos sounded like he had a Gorgon head crammed in his throat because the voice actor was trying too hard to sound tough. He probably suffers from the same throat cancer as Christian Bale's Batman. The dialogue was only memorable because I thought it was horrid. It was written just to get the job done. That I can't remember the music says something about my thoughts about the composer. I didn't think the sound effects were anything special either.
However, the gameplay was cool because of the bloody, bone-breaking, blade-wielding violence. But then again, so is every other super-violent game. I think the developers need to learn not only how to come up with original ideas, but also how to write an interesting story.
The graphics and concept designs also are excellent. The monsters are quite sleek and cool, especially the minotaurs and other two-legged monsters. It really got me in the mood for smashing things. Credit for this goes to Charlie Wen and Cecil Hong-Sik Kim, who designed all the awesome monsters and had nothing to do with the storyline. I think it's a shame they weren't in charge of making the game.
God of War would be suitable for teens and young adults, even though it is rated M. I would only suggest buying it if you like the designs of this type of game, but that creates the risk that this level of subpar storytelling will continue. Wait — it's too late. God of War 2 came out, which I thought was another unintentional nightmare altogether.

Like other page layout applications, InDesign allows users to control the appearance of every element on a page. It helps format elements with style sheets, which collect formatting attributes for easy replication. But that's where the similarities end. InDesign CS3 One-on-One: Style Sheets demonstrates why InDesign's style sheets are far more powerful than anything found in any other page layout program. Pioneering electronic publisher and author Deke McClelland goes to the heart of InDesign's style sheets, and discusses how they define and guide just about every other program feature. He covers how to format words, paragraphs, whole frames, objects, tables, and even entire stories with a single click. Exercise files accompany the course.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts for InDesign Style Sheets from the Exercise Files tab.
In this exercise, we are going to modify a character style and actually, we are going to modify two character styles in one fell swoop. That is how cool this exercise is. I am working inside of a catch-up document called All character styles.indd, so called because I have now assigned all character styles to this document. This document is found inside of the O4 CharStyles folder. If you are still working inside of the Page 191 document, by all means stick with it. Alright now, where my One-on-One books are concerned, each one of the lessons inside of the book has a special color assigned to it and that color is the color that I use for headlines and callouts here, these special figure cross references and other special type inside of the document.
So in the case of this document the special color is blue, not brown, and in fact, you will be glad to know mud brown is never a choice. It's never one of the colors that I use inside of my book. So I need to take all of this mud brown text here which I call Autumn Brown of course, just to make it sound more attractive. All this mud brown text right here and I need to replace it with blue. There's a couple of different ways I could work. One way is I could go ahead and hide the Character Styles palette and I am going to bring up the Swatches palette and you can bring up the Swatches palette by going to the Window menu and choosing Swatches or you can press the F5 key and right there is Autumn Brown. Notice that Autumn Brown Swatch and by the way, you should make sure that nothing inside of your document is selected because were it selected if you went ahead and clicked on your text and then selected Autumn Brown, Oh my goodness! The problem becomes just so much worse. The entire document is now mired in mud.
Bad document! Alright, so Undo that modification there, press Ctrl+Shift+A, Command+Shift+A on the Mac to make sure nothing is selected and then grab Autumn Brown and you can drag it in the Trash. If you don't want to have anything to do with Autumn Brown anymore inside of this document, then throw it away. Drag it to the Trashcan or just click on a Trashcan icon if you want, in which case InDesign is going to come up and say, "Yo, bud. You have assigned, you may want to throw away Autumn Brown, you may think it is a really ugly color, but you have assigned it to some key items inside of your document. So I beg you to go ahead and replace that color with some other color." You would say, "Hey, PANTONE 203-1!" Because that is the primary color for this document.
And then you would click OK and that takes care of the problem. In fact, it really takes care of the problem. If I were to double click inside some text here, I will click inside the number right there between the one and the period, and I will go to my Character Styles palette, notice there is no override. And if I were to double click, it just says the settings are 11 point along with PANTONE DS 203-1. Hey, great, awesome. But what if you don't hate that Autumn Brown that much? You may want to use it elsewhere; you just don't want to use it for this type. Well, you go ahead and press Ctrl+Z in order to Undo the deletion of that Swatch, so it is still available to you, and by the way, anytime you want to assign color to a style sheet, that color has to be saved off as a Swatch, just little additional FYI there for you.
Alright, so. What's another way to work? Well, another way to work is again, make sure that nothing is selected, press Ctrl+Shift+A, Command+Shift+A on a Mac, just to make sure, then bring up the Character Styles palette. And since I want to affect both Step number and Step leader, remember that I have setup Step leader to be the child of Step number because Step leader, if I double click, you can see that Based On is set to Step number, great. So Step number is the parent. So the only one that I have to address, the only one that I have to edit is Step number. So I'll double click on Step number and I'll go to Character Style right there, which I could also get to by pressing Ctrl+4 or Command+4 on a Mac because it's the fourth entry inside this Character Style Options dialog box. So you can still switch around between panels using your number keys if you want to. Then I would switch from Autumn Brown, but of course, up here to PANTONE 203-1.
So it is not necessary to delete the swatch or anything like that, just go ahead and select it and then click OK in order to make your modification. And in that one operation I have updated both the parent Step number and the child Step leader styles. Awesome. In the next and final exercise, I will show you how to update yet another character style which will give you a glimpse into why in the world I am choosing to work this way.

About Us
Mission: to lend support to our fellow IBD family in a feel good, positive environment.
Vision: to be a national network of online and in person support to those who have Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a positive format which will share and embrace our personal journeys with the disease.
About Us: This group is for people with IBD or for family members/friends who support those with Crohn's Disease/Ulcerative Colitis. Why the name IBDJourneys? First off, living with IBD, every day is a journey. Then, let's take a look at the definition itself, "a journey means to travel from one place to another"! Is that not a complete description of what happened to us (life pre-IBD and life post-IBD) ? WE were in one place in our life and traveled to another (and what a long strange trip it has been). For the most part, the name IBDJourneys was born during my last hospital stay at Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC, July 2012. While sitting in the dayroom of the GI Surgical Care Unit, I noticed many patients congregating there and having a need.....a need to connect, a need to share and a need to have someone understand what we have gone through and what we are going through. I also noticed that small kindnesses to each other goes a long way---buying a little trinket from the gift shop, sharing a magazine with another, or simply a nod of understanding, followed up with a smile. :)
Forum: Our forum is set up like a journey. It brings us from our lives before the disease to "how are we feeling today?" (don't ya' just love when Dr's ask that question?) Please make a cup of tea, visit the forum and share. Keep in mind, your story may be the inspiration someone needs to get through the day!
This site is yours! Share your journey, inspire each other!
IBDJourneys has a feel good, positive environment, however dark the day may seem, it is my personal goal to spread some support and sunshine around! ---sharon coyle-saeed

As I write, a four month old kitten named Simba is curled up next to me, resting against my thigh. He occasionally bats at the Sydney Opera House charm, a gift from Australian Sam that dangles from my bracelet. But mostly he is resting, purring contentedly like a finely-tuned motor in a well-maintained car.
This is new for me. I have not been exposed to animals very much throughout my life. Mostly, I have been fearful of them due to an unfortunate childhood experience.
When I was seven years old, my friend and I were skipping happily down the sidewalk, carefree as seven year old girls should be. Suddenly, it seemed out of nowhere, two German Shepherds appeared in front of us, fighting ferociously. Standing on their hind legs, they were as tall as me, and their sharp teeth were eye level. The growling was fierce, and the snarling terrifying.
I learned something last week about an agreement that protects historic bridges in Indiana, such as the covered bridge in Darlington, which was posted to the National Register of Historic Places on Nov. 28, 1990, and the covered bridge in Deer's Mill, which is "eligible for the National Register of Historic Places," according to Bridgehunter.com.
It was while reporting (researching) a story about the historic bridge over Eel Creek at Bowling Green that I learned a bridge that is on the National Register of Historic Places cannot be moved without the agreement of the Indiana State Historic Preservation Officer and the Advisory Council of Historic Preservation of the State of Indiana.
Wow, where did the summer go? Oh yeah, it pretty much floated away down Sugar Creek this summer with all the rain we have had.
Nonetheless, starting next week, real practices begin for the fall sports. That's right athletes the point in the year you all dread is near . . . Two a day practices!
Two a day practices are brutal, the athletes work incredibly hard trying to prove themselves to coaches (at least they should be). Coaches, of course, know who has been putting in the effort all summer long and those athletes that work the hardest usually excel.
Notes scribbled on the back of a Wright Brothers Overland Stage Co. Concert poster . . .
The good folks at the Hoosier State Press Association are partnering with all-around good guy Dave McChesney and his 1Up Software Company to create a first-of-its-kind motorcycle ride for newspaper folks (including readers) from anywhere in Indiana.
Why should you care – besides the fact that you are currently one of those aforementioned newspaper readers? Because the whole thing begins right here in downtown Crawfordsville.
Here's the scoop.
I've seen quite a few people lately suffering from swelling in their legs, most caused by problems with their veins.
To understand how problems with the veins develop, I have to provide a brief anatomy and physiology lesson. Fresh blood that contains oxygen and nutrients is pumped from the heart via arteries to the legs. The blood then moves across very tiny blood vessels called capillaries – this is where the oxygen and nutrients move out of the blood into the surrounding tissues. Waste products and carbon dioxide then move from the tissues into the capillaries and then into veins for the trip up to eventually reach the lungs, liver and kidneys where the waste products are removed.
Rosie Lerner, an Extension Consumer Horticulturist at Purdue University, has given the following home, yard, and garden tips to keep in mind!
HOME (Indoor plants and activities)
Take cuttings from plants such as impatiens, coleus, geraniums and wax begonias to overwinter indoors. Root the cuttings in media such as moist vermiculite, perlite, peat moss or potting soil, rather than water.
Order spring-flowering bulbs for fall planting.
Cut flowers from the garden to bring a little color indoors or dry for everlasting arrangements.
Before the ins and outs of the 2016 presidential contest become a preoccupation for many of us, it seems a good time to step back and look at the office of the presidency for which so many candidates are vying. The presidency inherited by whoever wins next November will be substantially changed from the position his or her predecessors occupied a few decades ago.
The President is now the chief — and sometimes the sole — actor in American government. He far outweighs the other so-called "co-equal" branches. The media covers the White House extensively, and the other branches much less so. People don't expect Congress or the Supreme Court to solve the country's problems. Instead, they look to the President for initiatives, for remedies, and increasingly — and sadly — to serve as a de facto pastor to the nation when we confront a tragedy.
2015 marks the 95th Anniversary of ratification of the 19th Amendment granting American women the right to vote. Throughout the year, the League of W omen Voters is celebrating various highlights of this anniversary.
The campaign for giving women in America the right to vote began at First Women's Rights Convention which convened on August 19, 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York. The women who organized this significant event started the effort that would take 72 years before final ratification.
The LWV of Indiana sponsored a "Go See Seneca Falls" trip July 9 through 12 to visit key locations in this long effort. Sue Fain and Gail Pebworth represented Montgomery County LWV on this trip. The two early major leaders of women's rights were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. These two with very different backgrounds had complementary skills and together built a strong national suffrage movement.
Over the years, especially since the Internet became prominent and widely used, my own ideas have received a lot of challenges. Some of these come from people with different positions on this or that but quite a few actually come from people who find advancing theories to be mistaken. They often just wish to pick and choose from among the innumerable ideas circulating and find fault with formulating a system or general position. They champion adopting the smorgasbord as the model for how one ought to think about the world. Rhyme or reason are shunned as somehow obsolete, old fashioned and instead a hodgepodge of ideas is favored, never mind internal contradictions, inconsistencies, etc.
What a talented young lady I met at the library where we spent a couple of hours together. Dance was her forte, having started at age five with dance lessons and acrobatics. She went through the sixth grade with lessons under Mrs. Cooper at the Masonic Temple and followed Bobby Hess awhile. Then there was none. Frustrated, she and Jane Sparks discussed creating a business to teach dance and the spark ignited. They held their lessons at St. Bernard's and recitals at the 4-H building. Every Saturday and weeknights she and Jane led dance. She giggled, "Well, we weren't no Dance By Deborah." Certainly, it wasn't like today as they had record players and rented outfits, but they did choreograph their own shows and I was just wowed by the memories she had made. Yet, she said, "But, I love the memories I'm making now!" And, Kathie Conrad Watkins is racking them up, big-time!

Meli is our new favorite brunch spot. We stumbled upon it in our neighborhood one weekend and we now eat there every single weekend (the week after we found it we actually ate there three times in one weekend - it's that good). It's not cheap but not overpriced for the amount and the quality of the food they serve. Everyone we have taken there has said it's the best breakfast they've ever had. It's perfectly fresh and delicious every time. They have daily specials and there is always something new and tasty to try. It's a truly incredible place. The only frustration is that the line does get long on the weekends during peak hours. I recommend going after 1:30 if you can wait that long - you'll be able to sit right away. They stop serving at 3 pm and are open until 4 pm. Seriously, the place is so good that it's contributing to my fiance and I wanting to stay in our current neighborhood when we move!

We live in the West Loop and found this restaurant about a year ago. We walk there to eat breakfast at least every 2-3 weeks. I have to say, that I am a very picky person and I just love it there! The menu is huge and the food is always great! Not only that, but the service is top notch as well. They have home made jams that they serve for breakfast and are incredible! They also have a juice bar with every kind of fresh squeezed juice you could think of. I have never even tasted fresh sqeezed apple juice before I went there and it was fabulous! One more thing that stands out besides all of the yummy food is the coffee. Everytime we go there my husband raves about how great it tastes. I am not one to get on the web and post reviews but this restaurant is worth it. There are usually lines out the door on the weekend mornings, but it never takes more than 20-30 minutes to sit down. Try to get there early.

Really enjoy all the interesting concoctions on the special sheet available tuesday through sunday. My new favorite thing is to stop in the morning and have one of the chef's fresh baked muffing. Today I had a low fat double chocolate one. In one word WOW!!!

You should probably think about usbloading.
Oh thank god. Something finally somewhat easy through this entire process. Thanks again guys. I'll get a new drive, swap it out, and let you know how it goes. Thanks again for all your help.
Edit: Out of curiosity, and more just to make sure I don't botch it with the wrong info, does anyone know the model of the older drives vs the new ones that can't play backup discs? Thanks.

Ipsa scientia potestas est.
Warning: Piracy is NOT supported. Word your questions carefully.
I don't really trust them with breakable things like that.
OK, so I've ripped it apart. It's a GC-2-D3-2 drive, from the looks of it. What are my options? Or can this really not play backup games now? If it can't, why could it before?
GRSHOPR i moved to usb loading because my GF's kid abuses discs and likes to shove stuff in the rom drive to see the pretty blue lights. With a big enough usb hard drive loaded with your games you can virtualy lock away the wii...
Problem with this place is the tutes are that damn good that one could end up not learning as deep as they should... Dont just rely on the tutorials understand your Wii...
@grass You can play backup discs with that drive. Your only option is USB loading, I recommend it, it's better, loads game faster, and more compatible then disc loaders. You can replace the drive with an older one tho
Sorry, I meant can't
Thanks. I'll start looking into the other tuts.

Dallas Social Media Marketing: SMC Showcase Spotlights Video In Campaigns
The Social Media Club of Dallas staged its annual Social Media Showcase this week, allowing marketing specialists to highlight how they used Facebook, Twitter, blogs and videos to solve business problems for clients. And while the event is geared towards other social media marketing pros, business owners still trying to figure out how new media fits into their strategies would have also benefitted from hearing about these compelling case studies.
A lot of great information was presented during the Showcase – blog fodder for more than one post, as it happens. In this instance, I wanted to highlight the evidence I heard about online video becoming more and more important to social media marketing strategies.
Radio Shack and Chevrolet made extensive use of video during their respective campaigns discussed at the Showcase. For Radio Shack, it was an attempt to boost its used electronics trade-in program, Trade-&-Save. Chevy, meanwhile, had it sights set on brand awareness at the recent South by Southwest Festival in Austin.
In the case of Radio Shack, its agency Weber Shandwick reached out to technology influencers as both partners and for distributing news of the campaign. "This was incredibly video-focused," said Weber digital supervisor Alyssa Gardina. "We needed to make sure that video content got shared. We had influencers posting about how much fun it was to work with Radio Shack" on its Trade-&-Save program.
Gardina says that may be because her team stayed in contact with those tech-savvy bloggers/vloggers. "When working with influencers, don't just film the video and leave. Follow up with comments on posts, let them know you're listening. You're building a relationship with them."
Chevy was out to steer more younger drivers to its brand, said Miker Stovall, Senior V.P. for content at Fleishman-Hillard. Keys to accomplishing that? Create unique SXSW experiences for attendees and provide lots of content, including exclusive content for those not able to attend.
"We had 90 pieces of original content" during the 10-day festival, Stovall said. "And I know you can define that a lot of ways, but this was mostly videos. That was our heavy lift there. We were producing video content around the clock."
The result? 41,000 new Facebook fans ("more than 4,000 new fans every day of the festival") and half-a-million views on Chevy's SXSW content hub. Stovall's simple mantra for content strategy: "Be useful, be entertaining or be ignored. If you can be entertaining to the people who can't be at the festival, then you can't be ignored."
Coming Monday: how a Dallas-based pizza business – NOT one of the big national chains, mind you – used social media to give back to the community.

SplashCast: Social Media and Growing a Business
For many, it's the ultimate work-based fantasy: being their own boss, setting up a business right in their own home.
Carrie Wilkerson did it. She left a career in teaching and built several businesses, all while raising a family. Carrie now consults for entrepreneurs/business owners and is helping others make the leap to starting their own businesses.
Carrie has published a book based on her experiences: The Barefoot Executive. It's filled with successful strategies and tactics for those wanting to chase their ultimate work fantasies.
SplashCast host Renay San Miguel interviews Carrie about the role social media played in helping her build her consultation business, and how she counsels her clients on their use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blogs to realize their entrepreneurial dreams.

Twitter Marketing: Taco Bell and Old Spice Get Saucy On Twitter
Old Spice got up in Taco Bell's face recently on Twitter, only to be taken down by the fast-food company's saucy reply. At least, that was the initial story in the social media marketing blogosphere and in some mainstream media reporting.
But oh, how quickly we all forget: it was just two years ago that Old Spice wrote a very successful chapter in the viral marketing handbook with its customized video responses to social media questions from consumers and celebrities. And earlier this year, Splash Media sang the praises of Taco Bell's social media strategy in this blog post.
Both companies are clearly comfortable on Twitter, and their tweet war was simply an effective lesson for all businesses in how to use humor and appear human in their social media – all in 140 characters or less.
The story so far: on July 9th, the people running Old Spice's Twitter account – known for absurdist humor that plays off the "Man Your Man Could Smell Like" meme – issued this tweet: "Why is it that 'fire sauce' isn't made with any real fire? Seems like false advertising." Taco Bell's tweeted response? "@OldSpice Is your deodorant made with really old spices?"
The exchanged was retweeted, blogged about, screencaptured and generally talked about for the rest of the week; mission accomplished for both marketing teams. We think this Splash Media screen capture/thumbnail tells the full story well: Taco Bell is also exploiting technology in its marketing in other ways. The company's use of chef Lorena Garcia and her new Cantina Bowl offering is the subject of a QR code where the "pixels" are made up of tiny lemons and avocados. This MediaPost story has the details.
It's clear that both Old Spice and Taco Bell know their audiences, stayed consistent with their humor strategies and are willing to explore new storytelling tactics. Extra points go to Taco Bell for its tasty response, but we think Old Spice still comes off smelling pretty good with its social media marketing.
What do you think? Please share your thoughts in our Comments section about how Old Spice and Taco Bell are using Twitter and what you think the lessons are for small/midsize businesses.

Twitter Business Marketing: Will New Search Features Help Business Content Fly With Customers?
Facebook's IPO face-planted and Google+ needs to add more users. Yet except for a June outage, Twitter keeps on flying right in its quest to become a useful and competitive social network. The addition of new search features late last week is another step in that direction.
Here's the big 140-character question: can those features also give some lift to business marketing content?
Answer: a little. If anything, it's more evidence that should help convince businesses to get deeper into Twitter marketing.
An official Twitter blog post goes into greater detail regarding the new features:
- Auto-complete, as with Google, makes suggestions for search terms as they are being typed into Twitter's search box.
- A "People You Follow" option helps narrow search results. If you're following brands and/or small and midsize businesses, this can help put a spotlight on not only new but previously posted content – all the more reason to offer up the best news-customers-can-use in those links.
Twitter had already announced spelling corrections and related queries, and is now providing real names along with user names in search results. And yes, all of it does sound a lot like what Google and Bing are offering their users, and therein lies the real story behind these recent changes.
Twitter's relationships with Google and LinkedIn – allowing tweets to be featured in Google searches and cross-posting of tweets in LinkedIn – are no more. Twitter executives obviously think they are ready to go it alone in the social media world, and a better search experience is key in that mission. This all could be leading to yet another heavily-hyped, social media-based public offering. But Twitter may also be seeing encouraging signs regarding business/marketing usage, and not just with its overtly-commercial offerings like Promoted Tweets.
Each new feature that keeps users flying longer on Twitter – and those may include mobile features forthcoming from company and third-party developers – gives the social network that much more power as a marketing platform. Who knows; when it comes to Twitter, the sky may be the limit.

SplashCast From The Past: Cisco Builds Its Social Network
It was April 2011 when Splash Media reached out to John Earnhardt, who leads the corporate communications/social media teams at networking giant Cisco. Since that time, Earnhardt's company continues to practice what its preaching when it comes to embracing the tenets of digital marketing.
Since host Renay San Miguel spoke with Earnhardt, Cisco launched The Network, a technology news site that doubles as a great example of a large company successfully using content marketing techniques (Intel and John Deere are two other companies providing what is now being called "brand journalism" in digital marketing circles). Cisco realizes that the company can cover its own industry as well or better than most traditional news media outlets, while avoiding promotional or commercial-sounding content for its own products/services.
In this interview, Earnhardt talks to San Miguel about where Cisco views the value in each of the three top social networks – Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Pediatricians recommend children drink low fat or skim milk to help prevent obesity but a new study suggests it could actually contribute to weight gain among preschoolers.
Researchers tracked the milk consumption and weight of 11,000 children at two and again at four years old. On average -- kids who drank full fat milk weighed less than those who drank low fat or skim milk and low fat milk drinkers were more likely to be overweight or obese by the age of four.
Researchers say whole milk makes children feel fuller faster and they are less likely to eat more food.

Map of Illinois' Poverty Rates. Submitted Photo.
Marion County Poverty Rate High, County on Poverty WatchMarion County has a poverty rate above average for Illinois, but it's not in the top ten. The Chicago-based Social IMPACT Research Center's report on Illinois poverty has been released, showing the counties with some of the highest poverty rates in the state. The state poverty rate is 15-percent. A family of four is in poverty if it has an annual income below $23,021. Information is based on the U.S. Census Department's 2011 American Community Survey.
The Marion County poverty rate is 16.5-percent, 1.5-percent above the state rate. According to the report, 3,350 people were considered in poverty in the county. The child poverty rate is 26.6-percent, compared to the state average of 19.4-percent. Median household income in the county is $38,182, lower than the state average of $52,967. The county is ranked 9th in the state for unemployment, with jobless claims at 3,464.
Marion County is on a poverty watch, meaning the county received a score of a four or five on the well-being index and will be monitored closely. 36-counties out of Illinois' 102 counties are on the watch or warning list. The warning means the county received a score of six or above on the well-being index and needs to take corrective action.
Illinois counties with the highest poverty rate include Jackson County at 33.7-percent, Alexander County at 31.3-percent, and Champaign County at 23.4-percent. Jefferson County and Wayne County are also on poverty watch, with Clay County on a poverty warning.

By Sgt. 1st Class Doug Sample, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 27, 2005 The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure recommendations could not have come at a better time as the Army begins realigning units overseas and looks for a clearer picture on where to put them, service leaders said during a media roundtable May 26 in the Pentagon.
On May 13, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld proposed the closure of 15 active Army bases, seven leased bases, 176 Army Reserve installations, and 211 Army National Guard facilities.
"The timing for this BRAC has been perfect for the Army because it has allowed us through our analysis process to figure out the right location to reset units from overseas as we bring them back," said Geoffrey Prosch, principal deputy assistant Army secretary for installations and environment.
"The analysis has given us that fidelity, and it has also enabled us to validate where we are standing up these 10 new brigades," he said, referring to the Army's transformation to a modular force structure that calls for an increase from 33 to 43 maneuver brigades.
Meanwhile, Prosch said, BRAC 2005 will allow the Army to meet its goal of streamlining its portfolio of installations, part of which is being done through an integrated global presence and basing strategy.
That strategy, he said, will determine how units and assets overseas will be "reset and relocated."
In Europe, he said, some 148 installations are expected to close and thousands of troops and their families returned to the United States.
According to the Army's new basing strategy for units returning from overseas, the 1st Armored Division headquarters and three heavy brigades will go to Fort Bliss, Texas, while a brigade from Korea will head to Fort Carson, Colo.
The 1st Infantry Division headquarters and an aviation brigade will be based at Fort Riley, Kansas. Several small maneuver-enhancement brigades and support units will go to Fort Knox, Ky.
Craig College, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for infrastructure analysis and director of the Army Basing Study Group, said several units will deactivate overseas, and soldiers from those units will be reassigned elsewhere.
In all, he said, more than 47,000 troops from overseas will be reassigned to units in the United States.
Those soldiers, he added, will return as "individual replacements and fill out new modular brigades throughout the Army." Still, any move back home by troops overseas will not likely happen before summer 2006.
College said several heavy brigades in Germany slated for Fort Bliss won't get orders to the U.S. until the BRAC Commission make its final recommendation and the plan gets approval from Congress and the president. That action will not come before late fall or winter, he said.
"I don't see any units moving in large numbers until the summer of 2006, and I suspect those wouldn't be large numbers," College said. "I would expect to see the process accelerated in the years 2007 to 2009."
College also added that no move would take place until the installation or the local community is ready to accept the influx of soldiers and their families.
He pointed out that Army secretary Francis Harvey and Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker have been "adamant" that installations and communities are prepared to accept the new units. "That means things like housing, schools, and that panoply of support services that any family, whether you wear a uniform or not, needs to be able to function," College said.
"We will ... ensure quality of life is enhanced, and we're not going to move people until the communities and facilities and the installation are ready for them," he explained.
However, just as important for the Army is that BRAC 2005 will save the service billions over the next two decades, money that will further support Army transformation.
BRAC 2005 is anticipated to generate a 20-year gross savings of about $20.4 billion, and a net savings of $7.6 billion for the Army.
That figure is "three to four times higher" than the savings of the four previous BRAC rounds combined, College said.
In addition, he said, closing overseas facilities will save the Army $2.5 billion more annually and $28 billion over 20 years.
Said Prosch, "Our big goal is to win the war, transform the Army, and get resources to accomplish the first two."

Grizzlies' James Johnson enters not guilty plea in domestic violence case
Memphis Grizzlies basketball player James Johnson entered a not guilty plea in court Monday morning after being charged with domestic assault Saturday.
Johnson, 27, was arrested Saturday after an altercation with his wife of two years and her mother.
He appeared before Judge William Turner with his lawyer, Leslie Ballin, and entered the plea.
Turner said Johnson can't directly or indirectly contact his wife or mother-in-law, can't use any drugs or alcohol and he can't go home or any other place his wife or mother-in-law might go.
On Saturday, Callie Johnson reported to police that her husband, the 2009 16th overall Chicago Bulls draft pick, slapped and choked her.
According to an affidavit, he punched a hole in a wall while trying to grab their child, but his mother-in-law got the child from Callie Johnson. James Johnson then allegedly pushed his mother-in-law, grabbed the baby and "ran off."
While police were taking statements from Callie Johnson and her mother, James Johnson returned to his Downtown home, where police arrested him.
He was released from jail Saturday on a $1,000 bond. After court, Ballin maintained his client's innocence.
"I hope that my client gets the exact same treatment as if he were not a basketball player," he said. Johnson remained silent at the urging of Ballin, but took photos with fans outside the Shelby County Criminal Justice Center.
Tamika Brown took pictures with Johnson, who was signed to the Grizzlies out of the NBA Development League in December 2013.
"I think there's two sides to every story and every man is innocent until proven guilty," she said. "We weren't there. It's one-sided."
Brown said she doesn't think a man should hit a woman under any circumstances.
"If it did happen, then he needs to pay for what he's done," she said.
The forward averaged 7.4 points per game this season.

Product description
Snowdrops. That's what the Russians call them - the bodies that float up into the light in the thaw. Drunks, most of them, and homeless people who just give up and lie down into the whiteness, and murder victims hidden in the drifts by their killers. Nick has a confession. When he worked as a high-flying British lawyer in Moscow, he was seduced by Masha, an enigmatic woman who led him through her city: the electric nightclubs and intimate dachas, the human kindnesses and state-wide corruption. Yet as Nick fell for Masha, he found that he fell away from himself; he knew that she was dangerous, but life in Russia was addictive, and it was too easy to bury secrets - and corpses - in the winter snows...

Customer reviews
By Leigh 20 Jan 2012
By Greg Cooke 17 Dec 2011
I bought this plodding attempt to craft a thriller on the basis of being on the shortlist for the Man Booker. After reading this, I'm forced to agree with the critics who say that the prize is being 'dumbed' down. If this is the debut of 2011, it must have been a pretty thin field. Various bells and whistles are dropped into the text to alert you to 'something thrilling is coming up' - "I hadn't done anything to be ashamed of, had I? Anything you could hold against me? Not really. Not yet." One review compares the book to 'like Graham Greene on steroids'. I'm afraid that Miller is suburbs away from being in the same street as Greene.
Review quote
"Snowdrops assaults all your senses with its power and poetry, and leaves you stunned and addicted" Independent, "A superlative portrait... Snowdrops displays a worldly confidence reminiscent of Robert Harris at his best" Financial Times, "Reads like Graham Greene on steroids... Miller's complex, gripping debut novel is undoubtedly the real thing" Daily Mail, "Miller brilliantly showcases Moscow as his novel's strutting, charismatic star... disturbing and dazzling" Sunday Telegraph, "Tight, compelling... A totally gripping first novel" The Times, "A tremendously assured, cool, complex, slow-burn of a novel and a bleak and superbly atmospheric portrait of modern Russia" William Boyd, "Superbly atmospheric...Elegantly written, and spot on its detail" Observer, "A chilling first novel about the slide from relative innocence into amorality. I love the honesty of the writing, and the way the furious cold of a bitter Moscow winter gradually emerges as a character in its own right" Julie Myerson, "Intoxicating... It will whirl you off your feet and set your moral compass spinning... A.D. Miller's sophisticated and many-layered debut novel skewers the relationship between victim and abuser, self-delusion and corruption, love and moral freefall" Spectator

National Dance: Tango Undoubtedly, tango holds a privileged
position in
the representation of the Argentine abroad. While, basically, it
is known as a dance and a music which can be sung, tango also contains
a particular language (lunfardo), certain usages and customs, and
even a characteristic philosophy identifying tango people. At an
international level, in order to distinguish it from so many other
forms that appear in dance halls, it is known as Argentine tango.
It was this which gave rise to all the other forms.
The birth of tango took place towards mid-19th century, with the
formation of dwelling conglomerates around the young city of Buenos
Aires. Those who lived there, peasants from inland, European immigrants
and some disadvantaged porteños (born in Buenos Aires) made
up a new social class. Perhaps as a way of identifying themselves
as a group and of feeling they belonged in their new home, they
began to create cultural expressions derived from this mixture.
This was the start of tango, characterized by its extremely closed
codes, which were only accessible to the working classes.

Probiotics are helpful bacteria that support digestion and immune function and produce active forms of B-vitamins. The most common types are Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. Within each type are many strains that confer health benefits when present in sufficient amounts.*
PureBiotics™ formulations contain only the most studied and stable strains of probiotics. Each formula provides guaranteed culture counts of 12 to 15 strains. The balance between Lacto and Bifido cultures varies depending on each formula's purpose.
Research shows that levels of Bifidobacteria decline with age. However, both Bifido and Lacto cultures are depleted by chlorinated water (including baths and showers), oral contraceptives, antibiotics, x-rays, alcohol, diabetes, ultrasounds, parasites, etc. It is virtually impossible to avoid probiotic depletion in the modern world.*

Later today, NASCAR will unveil a brand new, first of its kind, Fan and Media Engagement Center at its headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. The center, created in partnership with Hewlett-Packard (HP) Enterprise Services, is designed to help NASCAR and its partners collaborate, make decisions, and improve the "NASCAR experience" based on insights from a variety of media, including digital, print, television, radio, video and social.
The development of a Fan and Media Engagement Center was first announced in June 2012, but was discussed within NASCAR for over a year. Its home is the 8th floor of NASCAR Plaza, where NASCAR's digital team operates. That digital team has recently gained strength due to the expiration of a deal with Turner Sports that allowed Turner to manage NASCAR's digital properties. Those rights, which Turner controlled for ten years, have been transferred back to NASCAR. With all of that in mind, NASCAR could not have picked a better time to introduce its Fan and Media Engagement Center.
"This is the brain-child of [NASCAR Chairman and CEO] Brian France," explained Steve Phelps, NASCAR's Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "He had this idea for a while, but we weren't in a position from a technology standpoint to get to where we needed to be until about a year ago. After a lot of due diligence, we chose HP. From a product and service standpoint, [HP] was clearly the right company to go with."
NASCAR is banking on HP's ability to assist with the monitoring of all chatter that has anything to do with the NASCAR brand. Social media tracking systems are nothing new, and NASCAR believes the Fan and Media Engagement Center has much more to offer than existing suites of services in the social media space. "The system tracks social media, but also allows us to ingest and understand what is happening in traditional media," said Phelps. "Anything being talked about, written about, video, local affiliates – this system can capture that and we can have an understanding of what is happening from tone to the specifics of what is being talked about."
HP is tasked with providing the industry-leading technology to give the Fan and Media Engagement Center its engine. In an interview for this article, Charles Salameh, Vice President/General Manager: Enterprise Services – Americas at Hewlett-Packard was sure to point out that his company's offering is more than a tool, it is a platform. "The big part of the Fan and Media Engagement Center that makes it unique is that most of what is out there today is in the social media space," said Salameh. "This has expanded beyond social media to pick up broadcast, blogging, television, radio, which is then aggregated and sent out for digestion for the users who wish to use it. HP's integrated solution not only benefits NASCAR's complex ecosystem by allowing real-time data capture and analysis across a wide variety of media, traditional as well as digital, tailored to specific audiences within the industry. It also brings great insight to HP; very much a win-win situation."
NASCAR's goal is to enhance its ability to connect with the media and fans more effectively and efficiently. The company's commitment to innovation is something everyone can root for.

US judge tosses gun conviction against Buju Banton
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A federal judge in Florida has tossed a 2011 gun conviction against Jamaican reggae singer Buju Banton after concluding a juror did independent research into the case during the trial.
Banton is serving a 10-year sentence for convictions on cocaine conspiracy and trafficking charges stemming from a 2009 arrest. He faced an additional five years for the gun charge.
U.S. District Judge James Moody on Wednesday said jury foreman Terri Wright should face a criminal contempt charge for researching the federal Pinkerton rule, which involves liability among conspirators for the actions of other conspirators.
The verdict on the gun charge depended on the Pinkerton rule. Moody threw out that verdict and said it was up to the U.S. government to decide whether to retry Banton on that charge.

IssuesEthics Reform
Patrick Morrisey believes we must reform how the Office of Attorney General operates. As Attorney General, he will:
- Hire private lawyers through a competitive bidding process;
- Return settlement monies to the taxpayers and not allow precious state resources to be used for self-promotion or pet projects of the Attorney General;
- Improve transparency so the public has much greater visibility into how all resources are allocated;
- Eliminate trinkets and other wasteful items and use the resources to fund legal challenges that take on the EPA and other federal agencies that impose mandates on our citizens and prevent our children from obtaining gainful employment. West Virginians deserve an Attorney General who will prioritize job creation, rather than trinket distribution;
- Provide competent legal counsel to our state departments and Medicaid Program to ensure that health benefits for our citizens who need help the most are not put at risk again.
Patrick Morrisey supports repealing Obamacare. He strongly opposes the individual mandate that will apply a civil penalty on citizens (for the first time ever) if they do not enter into commerce, purchase health insurance, and sign a contract with a private party. That is the opposite of freedom and establishes a dangerous precedent for our country. If the government gains the ability to force an individual to enter into a private contract, it will arguably be able to penalize individuals when they don't eat broccoli or go to the gym.
Patrick Morrisey is also deeply concerned about how this law is financed. The law creates a new benefit, but pays for it by increasing social security taxes, cutting Medicare, and shifting massive new financial burdens to the states. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are already under great duress and will be further compromised under this new law. We need health care reform in our country, but we have to be honest with the public about how it is structured and financed. We simply cannot continue to borrow money from our children and grandchildren and live beyond our means.
As a lawyer in private practice, Patrick Morrisey assisted the 26-states in their lawsuit to overturn the individual mandate and helped the U.S. House of Representatives in their efforts to replace the law. As Attorney General, Patrick Morrisey will join the multi-state lawsuit against the law and ensure that our state's interests are protected.
The Office of Federalism and Freedom
One of the best ways for our state to grow economically is to refocus on core constitutional principles of limited government and to create an environment that allows businesses to flourish in this state. That is one reason why Patrick Morrisey intends to create an Office of Federalism and Freedom in the Office of Attorney General. We will aggressively challenge unconstitutional mandates and regulations that have been stifling job growth in our state. The EPA is currently waging a war on coal that is costing our state thousands of jobs. That must come to an end. We need an Attorney General who will bring the full weight and power of the office to bear against overreaching federal agencies. Wouldn't it be helpful for West Virginia to finally have an Attorney General who will be a true leader against many of the federal government's destructive economic and regulatory policies? The Office of Federalism and Freedom will be an important part of our efforts to advance economic growth and personal freedom in our state. Moreover, we will establish this Office without spending a penny of new taxpayers' monies – we will restructure the Attorney General's Office, reform it, and ensure that we reprioritize how the Office allocates resources.
Patrick Morrisey is pro-life and will fight to protect the unborn.
2nd Amendment
Patrick Morrisey is a gun owner and strongly supports the Second Amendment. Moreover, he believes that the Office of Federalism and Freedom will be a valuable resource to allow West Virginia to become even more vigilant in terms of how it asserts citizens' Second Amendment rights.
Enforcing Our State's Consumer Protection Laws
Patrick Morrisey will vigorously enforce state consumer protection laws. At the same time, he will focus on areas where the federal government is strangling our state through excessive regulations. In addition to having an advocate for consumer protection, West Virginia deserves an Attorney General who will fight against the federal government's policies that are eliminating our jobs and freedom.
Morrisey understands the importance of maintaining strong consumer protection in West Virginia. While serving as the Deputy Staff Director and Chief Health Counsel to the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee, Morrisey worked closely with the Federal Trade Commission on a variety of matters to bolster transparency and increase competition in the health care industry. Morrisey's efforts on behalf of consumers have helped to save tens of billions of dollars.
As Attorney General, Morrisey will vigorously pursue allegations of consumer fraud against individuals and businesses that seek to prey on our citizens. At the same time, Morrisey believes the Office of the Attorney General must do a much better job educating individuals and companies about the complexity of our laws and developing model compliance programs to ensure that laws are not broken in the first place. Unlike his opponent who frivolously spends money on self-promoting ads, Morrisey will ensure that our taxpayer money is wisely spent.
Get Involved
What people are saying...
Morrisey is "committed to changing the ethics environment in the state and challenging excessive federal and state regulations that make West Virginia one of the most unfriendly climates for starting and maintaining a business"
~The West Virginia Record

"I know of a few parents who are considering buying their children, some as young as two, an iPad for Christmas - am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?"
Start the discussion
No, you're not. Such presents introduce materialism to children at too young an age. Also, it is a waste of the Earth's resources. It allows negative influences to reach vunerable people, including children. It also makes them a target for being mugged. I believe the technology is also harmful to a child's learning ability.
My Nephew has cerebral palsy, his arm movement is restricted He loves reading, he can't use play stations and Xboxes, he is very bright and is somewhat high functioning. He struggled with bullying at school, and struggles to socialise. Although it's not the same, we got him a Kindle when they were new, He loves it, he get books, carry it around, he was one of the first and it's benefited him socially as his friends had never seen one. He uses an IPAD which belongs to his parents friends, and he is like a different person. They can't afford to buy him one outright, and as a family we can't justify getting him one as it's not fair on his siblings as we can't afford to buy them all one. One day they will be cheaper as newer ones come out, and we believe it would really benefit him. I know it's different, it's not about the latest toy with him, but there are cases where it is a good idea. I also have a niece who was bought a new laptop and camera by her dad, she is very social but quite large, she was popular because she is socially adept and has the latest toys. Once the laptop was unfashionable she asked for a new one, her parents have 2 other children and said no. So she broke it, knowing it could be replaced under the guarantee, the same with the camera. So I do see where you are coming from. The IPAD has been marketed more as a leisure tool than anything else so it's bound to appeal to kids. It's really up to parents to set boundaries, and establish what they can and can't afford. It's a big shiny thing. They all look the same. A lot of kids walk to school unsupervised and if people rob adults, a kid will be a pushover. It should really be up to the school to say no one can bring them. Or phones, and the decision should be final. When I was at School my mates brought things to school for break time, my Mum wouldn't let me take mine so I didn't lose them or break them, as a result I wasn't included in the other kids circles and everyone though I was a liar because no one ever saw my toys. I lived out of the catchment area so not many kids from school ever came to my house, I had different friends outside school. The thing is, My toys never got lost or trashed, but they are only things, I never had the upset of another kid stealing things, but I missed out socially. I know it doesn't really matter in the long run. The school shouldn't let kids bring their own things in at all. But if parents can afford to splash the cash, then it's up to them ultimately, but as with my nieces, they might end up digging in for the long haul every time technology and fashion moves on. Even my nephew wants a newer kindle despite there being nothing wrong with the old one.. when we asked him why, he can't give us a genuine answer which we can't rebuff, but it doesn't stop him complaining. Personally I think kids should be taught the value of things, no matter how rich the parents. So yes and no is my answer.
"So yes and no is my answer." - Could not you just have said that? I feel it is far too young, why? What would a two year old want with an ipad? He/she would play with the packaging more, and this is not good for the child's health – end.
City 10 - you are in a very judgemental mood and a bit discourteous to Chappy who obviously took the time to write a considered response. I too have a relative who is disabled. Such technology has enhanced his life immensly and it's quite offensive of you to mak the comments you did.
I think that whole idea of it is stupid full stop. I wouldn't say C10 was being judgmental, he said his reason why. Whereas you haven't Musicalk. I have to agree at just 2 years of age what would be the point of it all, meaningless.
Really? Sorry don't believe that for one minute. No one is going to buy a two year old an ipad so anyone even giving that part of the discussion serious consideration should give themselves a shake. Does technology harm a childs development? It certainly can if over exposed to it. However as technology is part of everyday life children should learn to use it along with all the other areas they develop. It's when other aspects of a childs development are ignored and replaced with consoles, tv, smartphones, dvds, 'membership' websites like moshi monsters etc that causes damage.
I agree with Chappy in regards to children with disabilities etc, but not as young as 2, I dont think its useful at that age, far too young, I dont believe they would really know what to do with it, my son wouldnt of. My 2 youngest are at infants and junior level, and most of their homework now requires the internet, finding information etc, specific sites and printing out. I dont really like it to be honest, id prefer a traditional option for their homework at that young age, such as using books to find information, or just plain writing. My daughter is only 6, and its ridiculous that her homework sometimes is to find certain info on subjects and print it out.
I agree with chappy as well - fine if it helps less able children. Otherwise....we (and im assuming adults 30+) are in a different age to children today - they need to use new technologies as they appear. With anything electrical, its a question of the amount of time they spend online and balancing that with outdoor/active activities. As for the child who broke her laptop as she knew the guarantee would provide another one....one word to describe her - BRAT - and another for the parents - FOOLS!!!
Im an older mum to my 2 youngest annabros. I have 2 grown up children who have left home and have their own lives in their 20's and my 2 little ones. i must admit I find the change in education hard to follow, I do prefer the traditional methods.
And I do think traditional teaching has been lost somewhere. My son has autism, but mechanically reads to a high standard, in fact he can pick up anything and read it, his assessment recently was age 11 (he is almost 8) but its much higher then that at home. Unfortunately he doesnt understand a word of it, but at least its a basis to work from. Same with maths, he can add and subtract into the thousands, but give him a two pence and a pound and he thinks the 2p is worth more because its bigger in size. But this isnt from school, his reading is because we have a love of books, he was reading before he started school, and maths the same, I love maths myself and excelled in it at school. As far as IT goes, I have qualifiations, and I did buy him a laptop aged 4, but only for the purpose of his reading comprehension, I devised a program where I could scan in books and words came up (before kindles were invented lol) and also a word recognition audio program. The hope was that the 2 combined might trigger an understadning of what had been said/read, but so far it hasnt helped. To be honest the way teaching is now, if i hadnt of started him off, i doubt he would be able to read as well as he does, when he started school it was months before he had even brought home a book, and it was what I would give a 2 year old, there was no assessment to see what he could read, it was poor right up until now, a little better in his juniors :/
annabros - yes she is s brat - but her parents aren't fools - she's overstepped the line, to the point where she doesn't show gratitude for ordinary gifts from other family members, no matter how big their age difference, and how much they tried to get her something they think she'd like. I don't believe in conceding and giving her money, as she will just waste it on junk food. She doesn't even save a copy of her downloaded music - it's disposable to her, so even itunes vouchers are off the list. But her parents have 2 other children to think about and have never fell for her consumerist tantrums or behaviour. Now she is 18 she has to learn the ways of the world. Her Mum stopped buying food in that she likes, and gets stuff for the family a couple of years back and if she doesn't like it she has to either buy it herself or do without. I also agree about 2 year olds, but there are people with more money than sense, and probably see it as a surrogate parent. As for negative comments, I don't let it bother me. There was no justification in the post, despite the fan club backing it up a couple of posts later. It's simply not worth arguing about.
