I had been browsing your work a few days ago, loving the personality and detail in your craft and thought "I wonder if there is a bullie one" and BAM, here one is a few days later. I was 20 hours too late though, because someone already bought this cutie up. I will be more diligent in looking at your updates so I don't miss any future bullies.
Amazing details.

Describe the problem clearly.
The City of Seattle charges your cable company
a franchise fee to use the public rights-of-way for private enterprise. In other words, the fee is 'rent' the company must pay the City for using the public space to conduct their business. The
franchise fee is 4.4% of the company�s gross revenue, and is used to
support the Seattle Channel, community technology initiatives, the Citizens'
Technology and Telecommunications Advisory Board, and this Office of Cable
That depends on your cable company, although Wave, Comcast and CenturyLink provide the full range of television, telephone
and high speed data (Internet) cable services. Both companies offer programming
packages as well as pay-per-view opportunities.
Basic Service Regulations*
The City of Seattle has limited authority to regulate the rate for basic cable service, installation, and service charges related to basic service, including the ability to review FCC rate filings by Comcast to ensure that the filings are prepared in accordance with FCC guidelines.
Basic cable service (called 'Limited Basic' by Comcast) is the lowest level of cable television service a subscriber can buy. It includes, at a minimum, all over-the-air television broadcast signals carried pursuant to the FCC must-carry rules, and any public, educational or government access channels required by the cable operator's franchise.
The City does not have the ability to regulate any other rates or the rate for WAVE due to their federal classification as a small cable operator.
*On June 2, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an Order that would potentially remove the City's last remaining rate regulation authority. The Order (see FCC Report and Order 15-62A1) describes the FCC's decision that it will now presume that all cable operators are subject to 'effective competition' from satellite TV providers and rate regulation over basic cable service is no longer necessary. The Order will is not effective until approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). As of 6/5/2015, OMB approval is still pending.

The Order will is not effective until approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). As of 6/5/2015, OMB approval is still pending.
All Other Service Tiers
In accordance with federal cable law, the rates for any tier of service beyond the basic services tier, including pay-per-channel programming (i.e., a premium movie channel) and pay-per-program services (i.e., a pay-per-view sports event), are not regulated. Your cable company determines the rates charged for these services. However, your cable company may not require you to purchase any additional service tier other than the basic service tier in order to have access to pay-per-view events or premium channels offered on an "a la carte" or individual basis. There is no law that requires (or prohibits) cable companies to offer channels or programs on an "a la carte" basis.
For more information, see the FCC's guide on cable TV rates here www.fcc.gov/guides/regulation-cable-tv-rates
Yes. Comcast provides a discount of approximately $5 off of the monthly rate for any tier of cable television service for low income seniors, low income disabled, and people living in non-Section 8 subsidized housing.
WAVE Broadband also provides provides a discount of approximately $5 off of the monthly rate for any tier of cable television service for low income seniors, low income disabled, and people living in non-Section 8 subsidized housing.
For more information regarding cable television discounts, you can contact:
Comcast Customers call 1-800-266-2278
WAVE Broadband Customers call 1-866-928-3123
CenturyLink Customers call 1-800-244-1111

Yes. Seattle has the Cable Customer Bill of
Rights (CCBOR), adopted in 1999, which established standards for cable
companies and procedures and standards if those standards are not met.
Amended in 2002, the CCBOR specifies, for example, that if you don't get
offered an installation or service appointment within one week, you are
entitled to free installation or credit, depending upon the service
provided. The complete CCBOR may be downloaded here. If you prefer, we can send you a copy.
Please see the payment center page on this webiste for details on where to make cable service payments and drop off equipment. The City of Seattle does not accept cable payments or equipment.
The City of Seattle currently has franchise agreements with two cable companies,
WAVE and Comcast. To view their respective franchises,
please go to the franchises webpage. The City's Cable Code (SMC Chapter 21.60) also provides regulations that govern cable television in Seattle.
You may call the Seattle Community Media at 206-934-3966.
Public access provides citizens with a video "soapbox" to express themselves on whatever topic they choose, within a set of rules established by Seattle Community Media and applicable law. As long as the producer stays within these standards, the program can continue to be broadcast.
Because the program producer enjoys rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution, programs are not previewed before they are broadcast. Seattle Community Media�s rules, however, establish a process for reviewing a program if and when a complaint is received. If you watch a program that you believe is objectionable, please contact Seattle Community Media at 206-934-3966 for information regarding how to file a complaint. Your written complaint will trigger a review process. If the program is found to be obscene, that finding may result in a suspension of broadcast privileges for the program producer.
The City is not authorized to review program content on Seattle Community Media, therefore, it is best to contact Seattle Community Media directly regarding issues concerning programs you find objectionable.
Yes, to block channels you do not want to watch, you may call your
cable company and ask them to do it; use your converter box or remote
"parent control feature," or use your TV�s V-chip. Your cable company
should be able to help you with this process.
The FCC's Media Bureau is responsible for matters related to cable television. The FCC makes resource materials available on their web site at http://www.fcc.gov/
The Washington Utilities and Telecommunications Commission (WUTC) regulates telephone services in the state of Washington. You make contact them with questions or complaints by calling 1-800-562-6150 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also go to the WUTC website at www.wutc.wa.gov and click on "complaint form" on the right hand side of the WUTC home page.

Hunter Pence Santiago Casilla Brian Wilson Sergio Romo Jose Mijares Buster Posey Gregor Blanco Joaquin Arias Clay Hensley and Manny Burriss were both DFA (Designated For Assignment) and both elected for free agency. Burriss has since signed a minor league deal with the Reds. Eli Whiteside was claimed off waivers by the Yankees on 11-05-12. He then signed with the Yankees ($625K) to avoid arbitration.

Since Sound Sleep takes a while to kick in, it only works if you take it early- 1 1/2 to 2 hours before going to bed. It seems to lower my blood pressure and help switch my mind "off," making it easier to fall asleep. That also means that I don't wake up groggy. I highly recommend this product!

It took AAPL some years to be released in the VZ market. Nokia has bigger fishes to fry globally other than persuading Verizon's 110 million mobile customers who has a strong affinity with AAPL and Samsung products. In due time it will be released to VZ. Capturing the lower end smartphone market is a bold move for Nokia alongside a strangle-hold on the feature market, again globally. LONG NOKIA are the words for the day.

Im glad Nokia did not announced any high end phones today. It would've destroyed the 920's image. Elop and team sees the bigger picture on how to secure Nokia's future by capturing the feature market and help them transition to the low cost Lumia lines. Higher end phone should be save later in the year to create more buzz and not steal the spotlight off the Lumia 920, which is still considered the most innovative phone in the market.

Nokia is in a middle of a transition, killing off Symbian for the Asha line and manufacturing all types of Lumias. The new assmebly line is on its way, ETA 1 month and i'm sure assembly restructuring as well ;)

I don't understand why MSFT leaves such a sour taste in the U.S.. MSFT is a big part of the American computing systems and resources if they like it or not. The only valid reason why people despise MSFT because of the gigantic presence they have here, which automatically labels them as sell out's. I will never understand that motive of thinking. People here are not easily satisfied even it brings conveniences to their lives and always looking for new and innovative product not in the norm. Which leads to your comment "manages to dissociate consumers from negative Windows related associations that are still prevalent" it makes total sense. Nokia with its new fresh look and specs still gets frown upon here due to their association with MSFT. A catalyst is needed to remind these folks how Nokia was in the past. The problem with that marketing strategy, as being humans, we easily forget.

System? Are you referring to build-a-bear approach, I don't know anyone else ready for that type of consumer satisfaction, especially the younger generation. The fast food generation, with instant gratification mentality, or just plain lazy kids. Not to many people in the U.S. are introverted thinkers, most fall into the herd mentality.
Maybe one of the main reason U.S. Consumers are taking so long to catch the Nokia fever again due to they're affinity with Apple and Samsung. I'm the only one in my circle who owns a 920. :(Feb 15, 2013. 04:45 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
The graphene material also in Nokia's pipeline which can can be applied to 3d phone chassis printing . Henry Ford had the patent on the first plastic automobile which was 30% lighter than metal built.
I'm not really sure Nokia device knows different avenues to increase business productivity, but I believe NSN will be a big player in that category. NOKIA hardware seems to be targeting individual customer preference globally at the moment through telecos partnerships. Although with MSFT OS ecosystem, a lot can happen in the future. WP8 experienced 100% growth from 2011-12 a small gain of 1.8 to 3%. Compared to others (% wise) its a big jump. :)Feb 15, 2013. 04:33 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Medicaid managed care is providing a safety net of care coordination to millions of at-risk Americans and is improving patient outcomes and quality of care, while reducing states' healthcare costs, according to a recent Lewin Group report that was prepared for America's Health Insurance Plans.
A state looking to cut Medicaid costs should not reduce benefits or lower payment rates, but should instead expand its managed care program, according to the report.
The Lewin Group released a similar study five years ago and returned to the same subject, achieving similar results. In its latest report, The Lewin Group reported Medicaid managed care health plans improve beneficiaries' access to services and have earned high satisfaction ratings from enrollees, in addition to improving care and saving money.
The researchers pointed out that while nearly half of Medicaid beneficiaries are enrolled in managed care plans, more than 80% of national Medicaid spending is in the fee-for-service setting.
AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni says Medicaid managed care plans coordinate care, offer patient outreach not available in fee-for-service Medicaid, provide focused chronic care and disease management programs, offer preventive services, and give non-healthcare assistance to beneficiaries in areas such as finding alternatives to nursing home care.
"The bottom line of The Lewin Report is that we are providing high value and cost-effectiveness for states at this time of economic crisis," she says. "At this time, we are providing better quality, more access, and a higher degree of satisfaction to beneficiaries than traditional Medicaid programs. That's quite a legacy."
After analyzing 24 recent studies of Medicaid managed care programs, The Lewin Group reported that:
James Carlson, president and CEO of AMERIGROUP Corporation, which covers 6.7 million Medicaid beneficiary lives in 14 states, says care coordination helps millions of Americans who would otherwise be lost in the healthcare system. He adds more states understand the benefits of Medicaid managed care.
"I do think that we as an industry have matured to the point that the states understand that these programs have to be reasonably well funded because it would cost more if they didn't have us ... More often than not, we're finding states that appreciate the involvement of the private sector," says Carlson.
Not every state has been satisfied with its Medicaid managed care program. This has been most notably the case in Florida. However, other states have experienced more positive results, which The Lewin Group highlighted.
The Lewin Group wrote, "It is clear that—through carefully crafted managed care program design that is tailored to the state's Medicaid populations and geographic landscape—real opportunities exist for states to benefit from expanding the Medicaid managed care model to eligibility categories and services heretofore largely excluded from managed care."
Rather than cutting eligibility, eliminating benefits, or reducing provider payments, The Lewin Group and Medicaid managed care supporters say states should instead look to expand these programs, given current budget pressures.
Given these positive results, Ignagni says AHIP supports a plan that would allow anyone under 100% poverty levels to be eligible for Medicaid. Those levels now vary by state and are not strictly based on income level.
Carlson also suggests that states change laws that would allow Medicaid beneficiaries to not have to recertify their eligibility every six months.

DERBY DAY: Jordan Deacey takes on two Workington players during Wednesday's 1-0 win against the basement boys. Avenue are home to local rivals Harrogate Town tomorrow afternoon
Ian Whiting / / Sport
James Knowles is hoping to mix business with business as his day job and his playing career run in tandem.
The Avenue defender has his own company, Football Tours International, and has this week been working alongside a top coach from Spain.
Knowles wants to get him doing some sessions with the Avenue squad on his next visit and feels the club could even benefit from a pre-season trip to the continent.
Knowles said: "I am very fortunate because being a semi-professional footballer has allowed me to set up my own company. We organise and arrange tours to and from the UK and Europe for anyone from pro teams to schools and junior clubs.
"We have had a highly qualified coach called Albert Vilness running sessions at schools in Wakefield and Leeds this week. He has come from the Catalonia Football Federation and coaches from around here have been coming along just to watch him and the methods he uses.
"Even the coaches have been learning from him and seeing something different so I decided to ask John (Bradford boss Deacey) if Albert can do some sessions with our lads up at Avenue.
"John is open-minded and forward-thinking. He is always learning and looking for ways to develop his players. The thing is that at the moment, at this stage of the season, the games are coming thick and fast so all our training is about recovery and getting on the ball.

"Albert or one of his colleagues will be coming back over around Easter and I'll be asking John if we can make the most of the visit."
Knowles feels the benefits should not stop there and is going to suggest a pre-season trip to Avenue's board of directors. Four or five days of warm-weather training would be a boon, especially with a couple of friendly games against local sides or other clubs on tour factored in.
Knowles added: "The Catal-onia Federation have a place in Salou where they run courses and the facilities there are fantastic. We could work on base fitness and ball skills.
"It would be a great opportunity to do double sessions and really get fit. That would set us up for the first five or six games of the season.
"The last couple of years we have not started well and this season we were particularly poor but we did have Nathan (Hotte, Avenue's skipper) suspended and a couple of injuries.
"I think we would definitely hit the ground running if we had a week to work on things and the points you get from the first half a dozen games can be vital to your season.
"I'll speak to the board and John about it. Maybe if the club couldn't cover the cost then the lads could chip in. I'm sure the lads would be keen, although they might get a bit of earache from their other halves. But it wouldn't be a lads on tour thing, it would be strictly professional."

Peppa Pig is a children's television programme broadcasting on Channel 5 and Nick Jr. in the UK, Nickelodeon/Nick Jr. in the USA, ABC 4 Kids and Nick Jr. in Australia and Discovery Kids in Latin America, including Brazil. Each episode is approximately 5 minutes long. The show revolves around Peppa, an anthropomorphic female pig, and her family and friends. Each of her friends is a different species of mammal. Peppa's friends are the same age as she is, and Peppa's younger brother George's friends are the same age as him. Episodes tend to feature everyday activities such as attending playgroup, going swimming, visiting their grandparents, cousins, going to the playground or riding their bikes.
The characters wear clothes, live in houses, and drive cars, but still display some characteristics of the animals on which they are based. Peppa and her family snort like pigs during conversations in which they are speaking in English, the other animals make their respective noises when they talk, with some exhibiting other characteristics, such as the Rabbit family's communications of squeaking sounds and their enjoyment of carrots. The Rabbits are also the sole exception to the rule of human-like habitation, in that they live in a burrow in a hill, although it does have windows and is furnished in the same way as the other houses. The characters also blush when embarrassed and their mouths are used to express other emotions such as sadness, happiness, irritation, bewilderment and confusion. Although the mammals are anthropomorphic, other animals are not, for example, the ducks, Tiddles the tortoise, and Polly Parrot. In addition, the narrator of the series John Sparkes reinforces the action and humour, saying things like "Oh, dear" when something unfortunate happens (such as George starts crying) or "Look out!" when a character is doing something unsafe (such as Peppa riding her bicycle without looking where she's going).
The first series of 52 five-minute episodes started on Channel 5 on 31 May 2004, and had its American première as part of Cartoon Network's Tickle-U preschool television programming block on 22 August 2005, and Noggin in December 2007 and January 2008. As of 2014, the series currently airs on the Nick Jr. channel in the US. In the United Kingdom, it can also be seen on Nick Jr., the same with Portugal, Italy, Benelux, Scandinavia and Australia. In Taiwan, the show can be seen on Playhouse Disney. The second series of 52 episodes began on Channel 5 on Monday 4 September 2006, with Cecily Bloom replacing Lily Snowden-Fine as Peppa, amongst other cast changes. The third series started broadcasting on the Channel 5 kids block, Milkshake! on 4 May 2009 with Harley Bird replacing Cecily Bloom as Peppa.

Episodes and DVD releases[edit]
There is a line of Personalised books in which your child can be added into the story with Peppa and her friends.[3] There is also a series of books based on Peppa Pig, one of which, Peppa Meets the Queen was written to coincide with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
A 15-minute film called Peppa Pig: The Golden Boots[4] was released on 14 February 2015[5] alongside several episodes of the TV series.[6] To date, it has grossed £2,326,328.[7]
Peppa Pig World Theme Park[edit]
Peppa Pig World a family theme park located in the New Forest, Hampshire,[8] opened on 9 April 2011 at Paultons Park, Hampshire, UK with 7 rides, an indoor play zone, a muddy puddles water splash park, smaller play areas and themed buildings.
Peppa Pig, the Entertainment One (eOne) brand, grossed over £200 million in UK merchandise sales in 2010, far exceeding the 2009 figure of £100 million. Additionally, for the first time in the brand's history, NPD figures for the year reveal that Peppa Pig was the number one pre-school property in the total toy market for 2010 – moving up four places from its previous position in 2009. Now in its seventh year, new licensees continue to join the Peppa Pig licensing programme, which currently has 63 licensees on board.[9]
In addition to episode DVDs, a variety of licensed Peppa Pig products are available, play including video games and other toys such as playsets, playing cards, vehicles, and stuffed toys. Merchandise has also been expanded to include household items such as bathroom products, stationery,[10] bed-linens, food, drink, clothing, and jewellery. Licensees include Holland Publishing in the United Kingdom.
Criticism, controversy, and safety concerns[edit]
Peppa and her family did not wear seat belts in the first two series. After receiving several complaints, Astley Baker Davies announced that all future animation would include characters wearing seat belts, and that the relevant scenes in the first two series would be re-animated to include them.[11] Similar changes were also made to early episodes with characters riding bicycles to add cycle helmets, which were not included in the original versions.[12]
In April 2010, during the UK General Election campaign, E1 Entertainment confirmed Peppa would not be attending the launch of the UK Labour Party's families manifesto "in the interests of avoiding any controversy or misunderstanding". Peppa had previously been used to promote the Labour government's Sure Start programme.[1]
In 2012, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation received a complaint that the episode "Mister Skinnylegs" was not appropriate for Australian audiences, since it encouraged befriending spiders. Given the toxicity and widespread distribution of some dangerous Australian spiders, notably the common Redback Spider, the complaint was upheld and the episode not aired again.[13]
In late May 2014, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Mark Scott expressed fears about the future of Peppa on Australian television, given Australian federal budget cuts to ABC funding that were said to affect its ability to pay for, and broadcast, overseas media products such as Peppa Pig. Australian media noted the character's appeal to Australian toddlers and echoed concerns about the future of her Australian distribution rights. Australian Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce made reference to the character as a menu item at a Thai restaurant, while conservative columnist Piers Akerman thought that Peppa "pushes a weird feminist line".[14] On 28 May 2014, then-Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull quelled fears about the future of Peppa Pig on Australian TV, by tweeting that: "Contrary to media rumours, Peppa's is one snout we are happy to have in the ABC trough".[15]
During September 2015, the cartoon once again entered the realm of political parody, as commentators referenced it when making light of the supposed Piggate scandal revolving around David Cameron.[16]

Respond to Review of Suprem
by ieve
Review: It also happened to me and my boyfriend. We asked for the vegan option and still there was cheese in it. We felt like they were trying to fool us thinking we wouldn't notice. But that was in 2008, I'm not sure if they still do that as now they have a completely vegan day each week. The food is good though. The place is too noisy and the decoration seems cheap and tacky. It's not cozy at all, except for the relaxing room upstairs where you can have an after-meal rest.

Author has written 19 stories for Life With Derek.
More frequent news updates can be found at www.facebook.com/SEZCPL
I am...
A mum - to two beautiful boys.
A wife - to a very supportive husband.
A sister - to a nice guy who deserves someone his equal.
A daughter - to the hardest working people.
I am also...
a librarian - let's face it, what else is there in life?
a graduate - Computer Engineering if you are interested.
a veteran - of life for four (ahem) decades. (Therefore too old to be using fan fiction for the fandoms I inhabit).
easily upset - by people who speak without thinking...be warned.
I write...
what I want to read.
as realistically as I can.
for a young adult audience. If that isn't you, you take responsibility for your own actions.
I want my stories to...
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS: (One of the benefits of being a school librarian!)
"Marian" by Judith Grimshaw (available for download) - she's a friend and the plot looks great! Give it a go! (There are sequels).
"A Company of Ghosts" by Berlie Doherty - If you were stranded on a haunted island - alone - what would you do every day? What would you think about?
"Rooftoppers" by Katherine Rundell - Above the roof tops of Paris there is a secret world.
Anything illustrated by Chris Riddell...but, especially:
"Fortunately, the Milk" (perhaps for younger readers but who cares?)
"Goth Girl" (Likewise)
"The Graveyard Book" (Chris Riddell editions!)
"The Sleeper and the Spindle" - a very anti-pink version of Sleeping Beauty.
I have written nearly 40 stories for the Life With Derek fandom. A selection is published here. The rest have been retired and won't be coming back! SORRY!
Other Information:
Cover art is by SusanMarieS. (Many thanks!)
The Legacy has a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9CoHq0MXEA (Thank you to Vicky for allowing me to persuade her to adapt her video to fit!). Please watch and review it. It is amazing!
Update: I am currently reviewing the content of some of my stories in order to put them into ebook form. I don't have the time or the inclination to do this for every story so you will find some of the less popular stories will disappear completely. Over time the successful stories will be re-edited and re-published on here. The editing will take the form of correction of mistakes where I spot them - please don't point them out I've been aware of most of them since day one! It will also include the removal of some of the author's notes.
I know this won't necessarily be a popular decision but it's the one I'm happy with. X

Product Description
The class 10.9 steel cap screw has a zinc plated finish, a non-serrated flange hex head with an external hex drive, and meets Japanese Industrial Standards JIS B1190 specifications. Class 10.9 steel, composed of quenched and tempered medium carbon steel, is often used in applications where strength is the primary concern. The material is magnetic. The zinc plating offers corrosion resistance and a reflective appearance. The flange hex head has six flat sides that wrenches can grip to turn from the side, enabling use when there is no space above the head for a screwdriver. The non-serrated flange acts like a washer to increase the fastener's bearing surface and distribute the clamping force over a larger area, providing grip and reducing damage to mating surfaces.
Cap screws and hex bolts are threaded fasteners with thick hex-shaped heads that can be used with threaded nuts or in areas with limited clearance above the tapped (threaded) hole. Cap screws have slightly different dimensions than hex bolts and have a washer face underneath their unflanged hex head to act as a large bearing surface against the mating material.

Christmas In Norway With The St. Olaf Choir
WOSU TV will feature several holiday music specials in the coming week and it all begins on this week's SUNDAY SHOWCASE.  Join us this Sunday beginning at 2pm for an afternoon of  festive music.
On Monday evening at 9pm it's music from the St. Olaf choir in their new program, CHRISTMAS IN NORWAY WITH THE ST. OLAF CHOIR.  This Christmas special was filmed in Trondheim, Norway's magnificent Nidaros Dom cathedral, one of the oldest Gothic cathedrals in the world. Featured performers include the renowned voices of the St. Olaf Choir  from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. The program showcases the rich choral music traditions of two countries, presenting traditional Christmas hymns and carols in both Norwegian and English as well as accompaniment by a string quartet, piano, organ and Hardanger Fiddle, a traditional Norwegian instrument. The St. Olaf Choir, the pioneer a cappella choir in the U.S., has a long standing relationship with Norway, dating back to 1874 when St. Olaf College was founded by a group of Norwegian-American pastors. Join us Monday evening, December 23 at 9pm for this holiday special.

By Y.S. Eco Bee Farms25 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Oct 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.24 lbs (0.11 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I used to think that I'm a long sleeper because I used to get lethargic even if I slept for 6-7 hours/night. But when I'm taking this, I can go with just 5-6 hours of sleep each night during the week so not get so tired. I'd definitely recommend this to people with low energy level.
I'm not sure if the bee products have helped against my allergies but they haven't made them worse. I have allergies every spring and this year is no exception. I was a bit unsure first if it was safe for me to take products that are full of pollen that I'm really allergic to, but I was just fine. I didn't get any alarming symptoms (e.g difficulty to breath, swelling of my throat).

David Levinson, who founded Big Sunday as a Mitzvah Day at Temple Israel of Hollywood in Los Angeles and grew it into a nonprofit organization that attracted 50,000 volunteers of all ages for a weekend of giving back in May has been named by Governor Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver as the inaugural Nonprofit Leader of the Year as part of the 2009 National Conference on Volunteering and Service.
Levinson's philosophy that everybody can give grew from a 200-person day of volunteering at 19 sites in 1999, the first year, to include participation from synagogues, churches, mosques, public schools, neighborhood groups and individuals of all stripes to work together to build and renovate homes, rehab apartments, wash dogs, spruce up school yards, entertain the elderly and much more. More than 500 sites benefited on the weekend of May 2-3,2009, from Solvang to San Diego.

Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen did some solid work last night in helping Dallas earn a 2-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks. He got things started in the first period, though, to help give the Ducks fits stopping Todd Marchant on a shorthanded breakaway. Lehtonen's lunging glove save helped set the tone for the rest of the night that if the Ducks wanted to score, they'd just have to try harder.
NHL on NBCSN: Rangers, Penguins renew acquaintances on Rivalry Night
Tonight, there's a big Metropolitan Division showdown at Consol as the Pittsburgh Penguins host the New York Rangers. You can catch the game on NBCSN (8 p.m. ET), or watch live online with NBC Sports' Live Extra.
Some relevant linkage for tonight's affair:

PHT Morning Skate: It's not like they robbed a bank
PHT's Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what's happening and what we'll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.
Calgary Flames head coach Bob Hartley seems pretty chill about healthy-scratching Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau and Lance Bouma. That goes for Monahan and Gaudreau in particular, noting that they're "great kids."
Besides … it's not like they robbed a bank. (NHL.com)
Uh oh, did Nazem Kadri make the throat-slashing gesture to Mark Giordano? See for yourself in the video above. (Puck Daddy)

Despite tough fight, Stars hand Wild their sixth straight loss
The Minnesota Wild put together the kind of effort that would beat a lot of NHL teams on Tuesday. Unfortunately for that beleaguered group, it wasn't enough to edge the Dallas Stars.
Despite generating 40 shots on goal and generating 1-0 and 2-1 leads, the Wild lost to the Stars 4-3 in overtime. With that, they've lost six straight games.
(The view doesn't get much prettier if you pull away a little further, either, as Minnesota's only won once in the last month, going 1-9-2 in their last 12.)
Ultimately, the Stars' big guns were too powerful. Tyler Seguin generated two assists and so did Jamie Benn, who set up John Klingberg's overtime game-winning goal.
Again, the effort sure seemed to be there for the Wild, even if they're far beyond the point of accepting moral victories.
As frustrating as this must be, Minnesota's not that far from a playoff spot. Still, it has to sting to see "Close, but not good enough" as a prevailing theme as of late.
Royal beating: Lucic, Kings crush Bruins 9-2
The Boston Bruins welcomed Milan Lucic back on Tuesday. Maybe they shouldn't have extended such a warm welcome to the Los Angeles Kings overall, however.
You won't see many games as lopsided as this one, at least in 2015-16, as the Kings walloped the Bruins by a humbling score of 9-2.
Lucic wasn't just there, either, as he scored a goal and an assist in his quite triumphant return to Boston.
Tuukka Rask had a short night in Boston's net, yet it wasn't as if Jonas Gustavsson enjoyed his time. It was a pretty sound beating by all accounts.
This dominant win is a heck of a way for the Kings to begin an imposing seven-game road trip, which continues against the New York Islanders on Thursday. The Bruins probably want to burn the tape on this one themselves, as they're about to head on a six-game road trip.

Oh how the smell of money draws us in. Really, who could stare at US$ 1.2 billion and walk away? Yammer has agreed to that nice tidy sum and joins Microsoft's ranks. Everyone has a thought on it, and it isn't all nice.
The Yammer /Microsoft Story
According to the companies, Yammer is joining the Office Division and the team will continue to report to David Sacks, Yammer CEO. It will continue to develop standalone applications, but will also be integrated with the likes of SharePoint, Office, Skype and MS Dynamics CRM.
That's the gist of this story.
According to David Sacks in a blog post:
With the backing of Microsoft, our aim is to massively accelerate our vision to change the way work gets done with software that is built for the enterprise and loved by users."
Now I know this is no surprise as it's been around the block "unofficially official" for a week or so now, and we really aren't getting much more information other than it is "official" and it's subject to "regulatory approvals".
The Industry Point of View
I've been saving some of these for this day, because they comments from the vendors in the industry are nothing short of interesting:
Microsoft's acquisition validates the critical nature of social connectivity as an enterprise capability. If over the coming years MSFT is able to build out a fuller capability, they and the companies that invest in this technology might see a return on their investment. What the market needs to know is that fuller capabilities are available now, and that companies that use them are already getting a functional and financial benefit from the full-featured enterprise collaboration software that Moxie delivers today." – Tom Kelly, CEO of Moxie Software.

Battery life is one of the most discussed aspects of the iPhone, but some handsets have it worse than others.
If you bought an iPhone 5 in the six month window between September 2012 and January 2013, you could be eligible for a free replacement due to a battery fault.
Apple first launched its iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program back in August 2014, and has now extended it past its original deadline of March 1, 2015 to January next year. That means that if you're one of the affected customers, and you've not yet done anything about it, you've still got a bit longer to do so.

hopefully you aren't helping these kids with their spelling tests, because
Yikes !!!
Are you nannying now ? Because it seems you spend a lot of time on here giving bad advice.
Get back to work you're on someone else's checkbook.
they don't owe me anything after dealing with there kids for 10-11 hours a day. Did I make the right choice to leave. I really feel bad for that dog and have been thinking about calling animal control center because they are being cruel to that pet.
Anything that they refused to pick up (unless it was their "special" toy) went into a basket that went in a closet and stayed there until the first of the next month. When I'd bring it out, it would be like a new toy to them and they'd appreciate it more.
I have found counting down from 5 is highly effective. It's slightly more gracious than three seconds, but is much more final. who's going to go into negative numbers?? This has worked for me from age 1 (Yes. One-year-olds will respond promptly when properly trained.) all the way up to teenagers.
State clearly the behavior you desire to be executed (e.g. come to the table for lunch, begin toy clean-up, etc.) and inform them to be done by one. I then say while holding up the corresponding number of fingers, "Five, four, three, two, one, and DONE."
I feel this is the best method for displaying proper authority while simultaneously giving them ownership and a "deadline" so-to-speak. :)
Getting a kid to sit still for a haircut is fairly easy for me. I just tell them about the time my own son was fidgeting and turned his head at the exact moment I trimmed the hair above his ears, causing me to snip a piece of his ear off. They either sit still after that or ask their moms to please let someone else cut their hair! :)
Wow. That's an intense story! First, we all make up things in our head. Especially as nannies, we are aiming to please the children as well as the parents -when in fact, most of the children would rather NOT be with us because they simply prefer mom and dad. It's tricky, many parents don't get the balance we strike.
That said, after hearing your story, I'd bet pretty much my entire salary that they did not fire you because you didn't call them! If you were expected to call them every time the kids acted up, you'd absolutely know it. No one likes a tattle tale...especially if you're calling them to tell them their kid something so awful-it would me THEM look bad and put them on the spot while they were at work. No one wants to be in that situation.
Here's what I think: They were mortified, embarrassed, and terribly ashamed. How do you maintain a respectful work relationship with your nanny after your kid crosses the line like that? Where do kids learn racism?...They don't just make it up. Think about that. It's environmental.
That doesn't mean that I think they handled the situation well at all. They could have called in a family+nanny meeting and given you a chance to educate them about racism and hatred. You could have worked with the family to create a lesson for them or they could have even brought the issue to school (which is a likely place it came from) and discussed the matter with teacher.
Either way, many things could have been done BY THE PARENTS to make the situation right, and it would have been a great learning experience for everyone. But they didn't. They probably weren't made of the "right stuff".
Shake it off-have a plan next time (and hope to never use it)! But I'd say, forget about feeling guilty for not calling right away. Chalk it up to kids being kids! You nailed it when you said he was pushing limits. The kid didn't know the gravity of the N-word and as the expert childcare provider that you undoubtedly are...you knew that and didn't make a stink of it.
You did the right thing. You addressed the issue exactly when you should have and left it up to them to handle it. But instead of taking the high-road, it sounds like they burrowed under the rock of shame and let you go so they didn't have to feel so bad.
P.S. I think there needs to be a FORUM for Nannies by Nannies to address issues. Maybe a FB group...? Ideas....?Either way, its a delicate balance being a nanny and addressing issues with other nannies with concern and interest without sounding like gossiping school girls. Right nannies?! We need support too!

LEAN ON ME: John Wellwood, of training company 100% Effective, based in Escrick, brings Trinidad's bosses up to date on the art of lean manufacturing
/ Profiles
POCKLINGTON-based 100% Effective is working to improve businesses around the world with its training and consultancy packages.
As a small business, employing a team of six, the firm has secured a number of large overseas contract wins with multinationals, beating competition from larger counterparts.
Growth overseas has seen revenue from non-UK businesses increase from just over ten per cent in 2012 and 2013 to 31 per cent the first half of 2014.
In 2013 hundreds of delegates took training from 100% Effective, both in-house and online, in 30 different countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Australia, China and Mexico.
Philippa McIntosh, marketing manager at 100% Effective, said: "So far this year we have built on this trend and delivered training to countries we've never operated in before, such as Romania and Norway.
"We're building strong relationships with our big name clients such as Ricoh, PWC, TUI and Visa Europe which we expect to generate further sales.
"Our overseas clients are thrilled with the service they are getting because we have more flexibility than big names and can help meet their unique needs every step of the way."
Bosses at 100% Effective say they are already well underway with plans to open franchises using their UK business model in Denmark, Germany, Luxemburg and Spain, with further expansion planned in 2015 in Australia and Africa.
