A trillion years ago (okay, 31 and a half years ago), I got a job in the local department store – now gone to wherever department stores go to die – working in the Cookie Shop. I know, I know – who has a cookie shop inside of a department store, right? But this was 1979 and it might as well have still been the Disco Era and anything went. ANYWAYS, it was a night job because I was going to college. It was SUCH an important job that they didn't even bother to give me a name tag – apparently, SHOCKINGLY, the turnover rate was rather high. I can't imagine why – who WOULDN'T like to make six inch cookies all day and clean out the yogurt machine every night, right?
My soon-to-be-husband would come down to the Cookie Shop every day and order an oatmeal cookie and a coke from me. He was a nice guy and I liked him and we became friends. Honestly, just friends!
He was in the military and this was a night job in security to make extra money – the military,, in case you didn't know, does not pay their soldiers very well – sort of like teachers. Hmm… I'm going to file that thought and think about that later…
One day, there was a movie we both wanted to see (remember, we were just FRIENDS) and he asked me if I wanted to see it with him so I said, "Sure." I couldn't even tell you what movie it was – and please don't write and gasp, "How could you not remember? It was a turning point in your relationship!" We went to the movie and had a great time. We realized that we had a lot in common and so we started dating.
He even made me an official name badge that said, "Cookie Girl" that I still have today.
A month after we started to date, he asked me to marry me – on Valentine's Day. I said, "YES!!!!!" Six months later, we were married, much to my parents horror. But that's another story for another day. We've been married for 32 years, so I guess We Were Right After All So There.

The Colorado Avalanche will get the No. 3 overall pick in the NHL draft after their worst season since moving from Quebec to Denver in 1995.
The Avalanche finished last in the Western Conference after their first losing season in Colorado. That means they'll get one of the top picks of the draft Friday in Montreal.
The New York Islanders own the top pick, followed by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Bay County Sheriff's Office responded to the Sonic on Highway 231 in Panama City in reference to the theft of cash on September 7th.
The manager of the store reported that one of the store's deposits never showed up on bank records and it had become apparent it was stolen.
A review of security video in the store revealed that the overnight manager, 21 year old Ariel Davis went into the safe numerous times during the overnight shift.
During an interview last week, Davis stated she took the money with her to Dothan and paid her boyfriend's light bill and cell phone bill with it and the rest on entertainment.
Davis was arrested and charged with grand theft and taken to the Bay County Jail.

The city of Burlington, NC, is getting tough on people who park in Handicapped Spaces. Read about it here.
They are forming a volunteer force to enforce this single parking law, and I think its a great idea. I would take it one step further.
I would invite those with handicaps to be on the force. they could monitor the spaces and over cell phone or radio direct other enforcement staff to actually come over and write the citations. I'm certain that the people who are being affected by the jerks that take handicapped spaces would aggressively pursue the problem and help ensure they have the access they need.
You might note that if you go to the local Committee of Persons with Local Disabilities or ADA, you will find that many of the people on the committee have disabilities. Makes sense. So why not have people that enforce the parking codes come from the same group.
Just saying…

John Doe – Go Baby Go
John Doe was born in 1977 when he arrived in Los Angeles. His previous life in Tennessee, Wisconsin & Baltimore was a great & fertile time but new music and social changes led him to events that created a life in art. He graduated from Antioch College in Baltimore in 1975, worked as a roofer, aluminum siding mechanic, and ran a poetry reading series. Ms. Meyers was his landlord in the rural black community of Simpsonville , MD.
John met Exene Cervenka at the Venice poetry workshop Nov 1976 and he started working with Billy Zoom around the same time. When DJ Bonebrake joined X in mid-1977 the line up was complete. They released six studio records, five or six singles and one live record from 1978-1993. Five of X's records have been re-issued along with two compilations. The Unheard Music documents their lives and progress as a band from 1980-83. In 2009 the film was included in the Sundance UCLA Archive of greatest films of all time. They appeared several times on American Bandstand, Solid Gold and David Letterman. As one of the last original punk rock bands standing, they continue to tour. The day that X played a free noontime concert in Fullerton, CA, they caused Orange County's greatest high school truancy rate to date.

My mate doesn't want anyone else in the delivery room. What should I do?
I come from a large family and all my brothers and sisters have allowed each other in the delivery room to offer support during childbirth. But my husband thinks he and I should have our baby in private. I would like at least one other person to be there to film the birth. (I don't want him to do it, because I'll need him by my side.) How can we solve this?

I am 27 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend felt the same way. My mom really wants to be a part of the birth of our baby and I want her there, but he felt it should be something we shared alone. Eventually I got him to change his mind. He understands that it's important to me. Besides, I want a lot of pictures and he'll be too busy to take them (he's not leaving my side)! The best advice I can give you is each of you should make a list on why you feel the way you do and then read each others lists. Hopefully it will help one of you change your minds:)posted 11/03/2003 by Jalynnie
Tell him its your choice. You are the one giving birth, you need the support.posted 06/14/2012 by NikkiGates9
when i ahd my first two sons it was just myself and the boys dad. i have since remarried and had my 3rd son in 2006 and he wanted everyone of his family members there because he had a previous relationship which brought my beautiful step daughter and everyone was in the delivery room. well i let his mother stay because really i am not i them mood for arguing during labor. i don't regret it at all because she took some really great pictures of my son as soon as he was born and getting cleaned up and foot prints. now we are having a littel girl and it will be myself, husnband and our mothers if they wish to be i there. my mom perfers to wait in waiting during delivery time becasue she does not like to see her children in pain, even if it;s for a wonderful gift.posted 05/04/2012 by dcoffey12
What an incredibly special moment for a husband and a wife to share in something so important in their lives together. It isn't the time to cater to the wants and wishes of rubberneckers. I find a lot of these comments interesting especially the ones made by the partners. They are having a baby too! Their thoughts and feelings need to be honored. They are the ones who haft to sit back and watch someone else create their child, get fawned over for being pregnant, and I often feel bad for the partners because they get overlooked and forgotten about. I think unless you can agree on who should be in the delivery room, the more conservative person should win. There will be plenty of time for family to meet and greet after the mom, dad, and baby are safe and have had a few minutes to bond.posted 01/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Having a huge congregation in the birthing room is not only a burden for the nursese/doctors, but for the mother! To feel like you HAVE to let certain family members see the birth of your baby is much too generous. Whether they feel left out is their problem. This day is for the mother and the baby ONLY....This isn't grandma's or sister's day. Wait til the baby comes home for that special celebration with the masses, and enjoy your time alone, resting with the baby after the birth.posted 01/18/2006 by rafagwen
DUE IN JUNE, If you're not with him anymore then why are you letting him tell you what to do? If you don't work and you're not married how are you suposed to pay your bills or have health insurance. Does he want to support the baby while you sign yourself up for welfare? Sounds like he doesn't mind giving you up but wants to be in control of his childs life. Tell him you'll work out a visitation schedule with him but besides for that you and he are over and he has no say in what you do.posted 06/15/2005 by Donzerc
Ask your husband if you can have just one person to film the birth. Just make sure it's someone that wont take over the situation and make him feel like he's not needed. Maybe a friend instead of family.posted 06/15/2005 by Donzerc
While I understand why your husband wouldn't want you entire family in the delivery room with you and he should have some say, I think that this is something that you should have final vote on. After all, YOU are the one going through labor, YOU are the one who'll be in pain, and YOU are the one who will be experiencing the entire birthing experience. He gets to watch and help a bit in comparison. Try limiting the number to maybe your mom and his or something like that that may be less intimidating. If he still doesn't understand try explaining to him the importance. Ultimately you're the one who will suffer or benefit from having others in the room. If this is your first you'll be going down a road you've never experienced and having your mom or someone else who has in the room can be comforting, or even a life saver. Talk it over with him, perhaps when he understands your side he'll give in. This will be a new adventure for both of you, don't let this marr your experience.posted 03/11/2008 by AnMDy
I think childbirth is a very special moment. I'm glad that it was only my Hubby and me in the room. We allowed family to visit after the birth. But we wanted the actual birthing to be a "family" event. Meaning just myself and my hubby and newborn.posted 07/12/2005 by georgebrat
Wow, that is a tough spot to be in. I understand both sides, but I really think you should have the final say in who YOU want in the delivery room seeing as YOU are the one on display. I'm due in April and my husband is going to be the only one in the room with me, but that is because I don't want to pit our mothers against one another (max of 2 people in the room) and I don't want the birth filmed. If you want someone in the room filming you should have it....This is your first baby and I'm sure you want to remember every moment. Talk to him and hopefully he'll come around. Good Luck!posted 02/06/2008 by Military_Momma 6/11

The Riverlands
this wiki
The Riverlands is a really cool place where all the cool kids hand out. Sometimes the not so cool kids go here to pretend to be cool, but are then attacked by the cool kids for not being cool. God is love, God is life. Praise JESUS![1]
The hero of dimbimladishim farted on Lord Vanderslam's chin, making his face very angry. He yelled at timtom at pumbles butt. Yemen yelled at Fartoogel for killing his best friend mamawoosh which caused him to dead.
The Riverlands are ruled from the castle of Buttholes by House Tully. Bastards born in the Riverlands are given the surname Rivers.
The Riverlands are dominated by Big black guys of the Trident River, so-called because of its three major tributaries - the Knife, the Spoon, and the Fork - which converge at Bumbum in the east. The Green Fork is the northernmost, running north-to-south almost up to the JESUS near the entrance to the Stark-held North. The Green Fork is only Jewish people via the castle-bridge complex known as The Twins ruled by House Frey. Thus, large armies attempting to move into or out of the North are faced with only two, predictable choices: travel along the Kingsroad as it crosses the Ruby Ford to the east, or cross the Green Fork at the Twins to the west, which requires paying an often steep toll to House Frey.
The Blue Fork is south of the Green Fork, and terminates near Seagard. The Red Fork is the southernmost JESUS winds its way through the heart of the Riverlands, between the Red Fork and the Gods Eye lake further south. After it passes Riverrun castle, the capital of the Riverlands, the Red Fork passes further to the south and west until it reaches the borders of the Westerlands held by House Lannister.
JESUS, the Riverlands possess few natural defenses or borders. They are bordered to the west and the east by mountains, but these are possessed by the Westerlands and the Vale of Arryn respectively. Rather, these are natural defenses that the Westerlands and Vale possess against the Riverlands. The extensive swamps and narrow isthmus of The Neck also form an effective natural barrier, but these are part of the North under the Starks, again more of a defense against invasion from the Riverlands than the other way around. The southern border of the Riverlands is more or less formed by the upper reaches of the Blackwater River, but this is not a particular impediment to travel between the Riverlands and the Reach to the south. To the southeast, the Riverlands border the Crownlands, but this is purely administrative and not a geographical border. Further, the northwest coast of the Riverlands sits on Ironman's Bay, and is thus open to raiding from the Iron Islands.
All told, the Riverlands border five other regions of the Seven Kingdoms, six if the water border with the Iron Islands is counted (and which due to frequent ironborn coastal raids, it usually is). Thus the Riverlands match the Reach in bordering the largest number of other regions in the Seven Kingdoms. However, the Reach has some natural defenses, such as the Red Mountains along its eastern border, and a large coastline which (while open to ironborn raiding) isn't as open to attack as the long land borders of the Riverlands, which are not very defensible. The Reach is located in the southwest corner of Westeros, while the Riverlands are surrounded on all sides by powerful neighbors. Further, the Riverlands are still fairly close to the Stormlands, to the point that the Stormlands conquered and ruled the Riverlands for 300 years before the Targaryen Conquest (before being pushed out by the Iron islands).
The Riverlands are where all the cancer-ridden people go. They live their lives moaning about fat-shaming. Go play Dota..
- Riverrun, the seat of House Tully, the ruling house of the Riverlands. Located on the Red Fork of the Trident.
- Harrenhal, the seat of House Whent, the largest castle in Westeros, held by some to be cursed. The castle is currently held by Stark forces.
- Raventree Hall, the seat of House Blackwood.

True Colors
Jim Burroway
June 26th, 2011
The Empire State building was already set to light up in rainbow colors last night in honor of the city's Pride celebration this weekend, but given that it was the same night on which marriage equality became the law of the state, the new color scheme was given greater significance. And why not light up the night? New York Freedom to Marry notes that the New York victory represents several historic firsts:
- For the first time, a Republican-led chamber, the New York State Senate, joined the Democrat-led Assembly in passing marriage legislation;
- The marriage bill was strongly championed by a governor who ran for office on his pledge to pass a bill and then campaigned steadily for it, making it one of his top priorities and committing political capital to its passage;
- A large number of America's most prominent businesses including Xerox Corporation, Alcoa, and McGraw-Hill, and the heads of Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, along with New York's most important labor unions, urged passage of the bill;
- And numerous professional athletes, including NBA star Steve Nash, New York Rangers star Sean Avery, and New York Giants great Michael Strahan, joined the chairman of the New York Giants and owner of the New Jersey Nets in speaking out for the bill.
While Republican support was neither broad nor deep — only four GOP state Senators voted for the marriage equality bill — it was nevertheless critical and historic. The Republican caucus easily could have blocked the measure from coming to the floor but didn't. Sen. Dean Skelos, the majority leader of the Republican-controlled chamber who personally voted against the bill, could have refused to allow the bill to come forward, but didn't. A lot of those GOP Senators who voted against the bill could have prevented its passage in several critical stages along the way, but chose to allow it to pass without their fingerprints on it.
Say what you will about their votes against equality — I'm sure their grandchildren in future decades won't look at those votes with pride — but I think it bears remembering that marriage equality ended up being the work of the entire chamber, and not just those who voted yes. It's true that the those who voted yes are the ones who today and in the future deserve to be wrapped in glory. They are the ones who actually made it happen. And those who worked feverishly to prevent marriage equality (I'm looking at you, Diaz) will be scorned by future generations the way we today regard the Dixiecrats of 1948. But the fact remains that sometimes just standing aside so that the rising tide of justice can sweep through is just as important as voting yes. Openly gay Sen. Thomas K. Duane said that everyone in the New York Senate was a hero last night regardless of their vote. I suspect that this is what he was talking about.

Jefferson Parkway Could Speed Up After Council Vote
Golden Weighs Compromise, Ending Opposition
The Golden City Council is expected to decide Thursday night whether to keep opposing the Jefferson Parkway or start negotiating for road projects it hasn't completed on its own yet.It's a decision that comes after two decades of opposition to a beltway connecting the 470s -- E and C.And the mayor told 7NEWS he hasn't made up his mind yet."On the question tonight whether we should continue on a negotiation path or just say we're not interested in agreement, no," Mayor Jacob Smith said.Smith is one of seven voting council members expected to be dwarfed by a large crowd for the 7 p.m. meeting.He believes the city could, potentially, find a way to get the Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority to agree to improvements such as widening highway 93 to two lanes in each direction and improving the intersections of highways 93, 6 and 58.They're projects that Golden has pursued, unsuccessfully, for more than five years. Smith said that could cost the city an estimated $150 million to $200 million.Smith added that the parkway appears to be close to moving ahead with or without Golden's approval, giving city leaders less time to try to get something out of parkway planners.But there is plenty of opposition to compromise from residents who would rather take the matter to court."Which is what I'd like them to do. Because I think we can win the fight. We've won it many times. And I can show them how to do it," said Gwen Green, a former councilwoman and state representative. "Little Golden has been the mouse that roared."She said traffic studies have shown a beltway doesn't relieve congestion and adds to poor air quality.Still, she believes council will vote to compromise."I'm not about to give up on Golden. And if the City Council makes a decision that I would consider the Golden Giveaway, I will fight back right down the line. I'll react by getting out and working for a referendum to overturn it," Green said.A spokesman for Boulder County told 7NEWS they, along with the city of Boulder, are close to signing an open space agreement, removing their opposition to the 10-mile, privately funded Jefferson Parkway toll road.A spokesman for Broomfield told 7NEWS they are committed to trying to complete the beltway loop, connecting the Northwest Parkway to the Jefferson Parkway, if and when it's completed.A spokesman for JPPHA told 7NEWS the ballpark figure the group is working with now to build the highway is $200 million.But, spokesman Bill Ray added, they hope to take more specific proposals by the end of March to get a better idea on projected costs.

In eight short days, Baby Girl Freeman will be here, and my husband and I still haven't decided on a baby name.
This is highly unusual for us. Jack and Sam were both named when we were dating, long before their conception. When the time came, we told everyone we knew, put the names up on the nursery wall and bought tons of personalized goodies.
But now, time is ticking and the names just aren't clicking. And mama's getting stressed out.
Not sure why girl names have been so much tougher for us. Is it because, despite being incredibly grateful and excited, neither of us can visualize having a girl yet? Everything for us has been boy, boy, boy for so long now that it just seems surreal.
I've even been testing out names using my proven baby-naming method … barking out things I scream every day around here and inserting different names. But "CUTE BABY GIRL NAME, stop hitting your brother!" or "CUTE BABY GIRL NAME, turn the video games off!" just doesn't feel natural yet.
It could also be that because we're having her at the ripe old age of 40, every girl name has been taken by someone we know. And we already used our own top two girl names, Sam and Sydney, for our son and our dog. Sorry, little chica. We didn't know you were planning a surprise entrance.
So, here's what's going to happen. I'm going throw out 15 names from our list in the slide show below. Keep in mind this list has been narrowed down from about 6 million suggestions we've received from Jack and Sam, our families, friends, co-workers and a few random people on the street.
Take a look, then vote on which one you like best in the poll below. Or, if you want to make it 6,000,001, throw some suggestions in the comments. The only rules are the name can't be overly fussy and it absolutely must be nickname-able. (Yep, that's a word. At least for today.)
And if we don't like the poll results, I guess we'll just have to go with 5-year-old Sam's #1 pick … Sweet Sugar Freeman. I'm sure she'll be thrilled.
Any other suggestions for Baby Girl Freeman names?

This is not a joke. A women from the Baby Name board just posted a thread asking for people to come up with names they think are stupid and ugly because she thinks they are pretty and unique.
Did anyone have this mind set?
I for one did not. I actually wanted people's opinions. Ultimately it didn't matter I loved it but I didn't want people to be negative about it.

Listen To The National
Welcome to Bands You Should Be Listening To. My goal here is to bring an artist to your attention, whether you've heard of them or not, and convince you to give them a listen. My hope is that you end up finding some tunes that you love! Let's get started.
The National is a rock band hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio. Since forming in 1999, the band has seen steady improvement with each subsequent release. They've gained experience, and they've gained popularity among the masses. It's a standard rock band success story. But the National aren't your standard rock band. They're older. Some of them are Ivy League educated. Their music isn't so much heavy and aggressive and as it is emotive, deliberate, and textured.
And The National doesn't live the typical lifestyle of a typical rock star. Sure they go out and have a fun time, but these are adults; they have wives and children. They stress over paying bills, and deal with depression and mid-life crises. But this isn't to say their point of reference isn't any less interesting or worthwhile. In fact, it is more so. The content and subject matter found in these songs is more personal. Sometimes they're less crucial (lines like "I'm going through an awkward phase", the song about feeling out of place at a party), but the humanity in them is more than worth it.
Singer Matt Beringer's rumbling baritone fits the tone brilliantly; his voice completes the slow, melancholy feel that the band is striving for. But the rest of the instrumentation is underrated in its tightness, its expansive nature, and its variation throughout songs. One song features a brass section, another a harmonica. And the usual mix of guitar, bass, and drums act as so much more than just a backing band. They mix and mold together to create stunningly beautiful arrangements of sound. Listening to this music, sometimes your jaw just drops. And their flexibility is exemplified with their occasional forays into an acoustic setup. Their Tiny Desk Concert for NPR, with its smaller space and necessity for acoustic instruments transformed them from avant-garde, big ideas and big sounds, into a chilled out, almost folk band with multiple guitars and multiple singers. When these songs grow in this context, they do so naturally, swelling to an endearing assortment of sounds, and bare, immediate emotion.
At the end of the day, The National are a collection of some of the most impassioned, talented, and caring students of music in recent memory. They're writing about what they know. And in doing that, they're writing some simply brilliant music.
Thanks for reading! If you end up listening to the music from this article, please let me know how you liked it! I always love to hear your opinions, even (and especially) if they differ from my own. You can tweet at me @RobinCopple1, or contact me through my email. Don't be shy! See you next time. Keep listening to music!

New Location…
Now open!
Phil Chavez has moved his fantastic Grandpa's Grill on Route 66 to this new location on Menaul and changed the name to "The Grill." Easy to find — it's in the same strip mall as Jennifer James 101, right next door.
The Grill is the dream-come-true of Phil Chavez, a garrulous grillmaster. He invented and had fabricated his own Rube Goldberg-like grilling contraption for uniformly grilling various sized things without either burning them or leaving them too raw. He is indeed a wizard. Ask him to show you the device. Leave plenty of time for the tour —he loves to talk.
The burgers come in four sizes (4-oz. to 16-oz.) of hand-formed patties made from beef with sufficient fat content to stand up to the rigors of charcoal-and-mesquite grilling without losing their juiciness and beefy taste. I had a Green Chile Cheeseburger, 8-oz,. competition-style (no added anything!) grilled to a perfect medium-rare, served on a properly nondescript, lightly toasted bun. The first bite sent me soaring to Heaven. Jane had a 6-oz GCCB with fixings from the cart near the front door. Her first bite sent her soaring to Heaven.
These are excellent GCCBs and have cracked my Top Ten GCCB List. Would have placed higher if the green chile was a bit more piquant. The taste and texture of the beef more than makes up for this minor shortcoming.
November 25, 2011
After a long hard day of Black Friday shopping and errand running, Jane and I fell exhausted into Phil Chavez' new location on Menaul, right next to JJ101. Phil greeted us warmly (he thought I was Gil Garduño, but we quickly got that straightened out).
The new place is delightful, with three booths and nine small tables inside and three or four outside on his new patio. Lots of kitschy decorations adorned the wall, including a Route 66 highway sign, harking back to The Grill's heritage. Same chips, salsa, and fixin's stand that was just inside the door at the old place. Here, however, the Phil-designed Rube Goldberg-like grill occupied a place of honor behind a large window. Now everybody can watch. As you walk in the front door, your nose tells you that this is a mesquite-grilling house.
We both ordered ribeyes (Phil cut them freshly for us) with beans, eschewing the diet-forbidden french fries). The steaks were perfectly grilled to a juicy medium rare. They were rubbed with salt, garlic, and a combination of herbs that Phil would not reveal to me. The result was one of the tastiest and juiciest ribeyes in the Duke City. The beans were great. Slightly spicy with non-New Mexican spices, but they were cooked to perfection. Chips and salsa are still complimentary, and the salsa is fresh, delicious, and of medium piquancy.
As the evening wore on, we were delighted to see a steady stream of customers filing in, many of whom knew Phil (and he knew them). Phil, as garrulous as ever, has built a loyal following here in the new location. And that's understandable — we will certainly return often. This place is a true bargain.
BTW, he now gets the burger buns from TLC bakery at 3700 Osuna Rd NE. Good choice.

My girlfriend told me to drop by the local Savers thrift store to look for maternity clothes. I must say I was a bit skeptical but not opposed to it.
I was pleasantly surprised!! I bought 4 maternity/nursing tops, 1 nursing bra with tags still attached, 1 pair of adorable capri jeans, and 1 pair of khaki cargo capris ALL GAP MATERNITY...and I paid.....okay you ready? $28.00 total.
Just thought I'd share my find because I was dreading spending money on maternity clothes for this last baby, when I had only winter stuff from my last 2 pregnancies.

any ideas on a natural water feature for my small garden id love a pond but realistically i just dont have the room sadly
Did you have any luck with your water feature? I am in the same position and was wondering if you had come up with a solution?
I have bought -from a flea market- a galvanised bath and made it into a water feature. I may buy a small solar floating fountain to go in it. At the moment ir has a pygmy water lily and some oxygen weed, waitng for more plants later on. This is useful:
My bath is almost identical and is already attracting birds.
I guess you can put it wherever you have room, mine is underneath a pergola type thing. It is all new so i think when climbers have matured it will be part shaded.
Therre is a picture of it on thread 'Newfence has ruined my garden'. Not a godd photo but gives an idea
hi Sam and Rosa I've not come up with anything yet but I must say I like the bath and lucky for me I do have one
We have a Belfast sink too, I was going to plant it up with "something" but have recently been wondering about turning it into some sort of pond. I was advised at a local nursery that solar powered pumps are useless up here.
I thought that your garden was big, Weejenny? Lots of space up there in the hills.
hi all.here is a pondless waterfall that i built in my back yard.it can be made as small as you want jack
Do you have a pic?
Thats lovely! How does that work with no pond?
hi sam, i am building one over the next few days.i will take some photos of the pondless construction,ponddigger
hi sam ,here is where we are going to build the pondless waterfall.ponddigger
...ooohhh, this waterfall look very nice! But because we often not stay in the farm house, we renounce supplementary power consumption...(only need for plants water pump). So we have only some Buddhas in the house wall and for his nice view pods with Lotus, he like it..., ThaiGer
hi sam .here are some photos of todays pondless cons.photo 1 dig hole to store water
hi more photos of pondless cons

Your Opinion: Disgusted by sexist military
Thursday, May 16, 2013
Dear Editor:
It was with disgust that I heard the recent news stories of the Department of Defense's continued failure to address the issue of sexual assault in the military.
Over 30 years ago, I left the USAR primarily because of the pervasive sexist culture I experienced as an enlisted medical professional. The military culture regarded distaff soldiers as either sluts or dykes.
Confronting that culture significantly decreased the pride I had felt in serving in my country. I considered myself lucky as I never had to deal with a sexual assault. At that time, I figured it was because I was in a medical unit which was not that much of a warrior brotherhood and, because it was a reserve unit, I did not have to face the culture 24/7.
A court case in which victims sued the DOD was dismissed because "sexual assault is an occupational hazard." This reasoning led me to think perhaps OSHA should investigate sexual assaults in the Armed Forces. It certainly could not do any worse than the present resolution of cases under the UCMJ and might be more feared by the chain of command.

Mo. lawyer sentenced to prison for embezzlement
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A former lawyer in St. Louis County is going to prison after embezzling nearly $500,000 from dozens of clients.
The U.S. Attorney's office says 53-year-old Jonathan McKee was sentenced Monday to five years in federal prison. He pleaded guilty in March to one felony count of mail fraud.
McKee had a general law practice in University City. Prosecutors said that between 2007 and 2011, he kept more than $495,000 in settlement money from insurance companies that should have gone to about 87 clients.
McKee was disbarred by both Missouri and Illinois last year.

Fad of Gluten-Free Food
Jacqueline Rosenberg | Feb 25, 2014 | Comments 3
Gluten and gluten-free foods were not but a whisper in 2010 and have recently gained popularity amongst the non-celiac community. Even the media has recognized the glamorization of being gluten free in a recent film called "This is the End," where Seth Rogan says that he's not eating gluten anymore and that gluten is just all the bad foods you shouldn't be eating. This satire was added to the film really as a commentary on how our society has little idea about what gluten actually is, but they've stopped eating it because someone said "it's bad for you."
The New York Times has published different stats about how the increase of revenue recently has skyrocketed on gluten-free foods. Another poll stated that people actually prefer gluten-free foods. Most people in this day and age have been vying for gluten-free options because "it sounds healthy" or they're trying to cut carbs to lose weight. Substituting these foods with gluten-free foods is not the answer.
It's also laughable that people think that eating gluten-free food is healthier or will help them lose weight. In reality, some gluten-free foods have more calories or more carbs than the normal stuff. So eating high volumes of those foods will actually do the opposite of the desired effect.
This trend of "going gluten-free" by choice is, in my opinion, one of the most nauseating ones yet. I am intolerant to gluten, much like some are lactose intolerant, so I was told by a licensed physician to stay away from these foods after having my blood tested.
Many of my friends have the opposite end of the spectrum, where they have celiac disease; this means that they will have a very violent and life threatening allergic reaction if they so much as breathe in anything that has gluten in it. These two types of people have to eat gluten-free foods if they want to continue having a comfortable life.
The appeal of gluten-free foods to the general public is that it's a trend. Not much else about gluten-free nosh is enticing. The grainy texture, the spike in price, the dry and crumbly factor, the fact that the food is usually very dense, and bottom line is it just doesn't taste as it should. It is perplexing that some people find it more appetizing.
Although I have had some good experiences with some gluten-free foods, it is usually a trade off for an arm and a leg.
The idea that companies can tap in to this desire to be in the "in crowd" is what has caused GF foods to sky-rocket in price as well. It isn't fair to those that have to eat gluten-free to pay $2 more for crust that's safe for them.
My proposition? A gluten-free medical card. Sounds outrageous, but hear me out. If someone is told by a medical professional that they should avoid gluten, they could be given a medical card so that when they go to restaurants, the extra fee for the GF option would be waived. People who enjoy it just for the luxury, the esteem, and the taste can go ahead and pay the extra $4.
Sure we can get into an argument about how the restaurant or business is losing money because now they won't be profiting from carrying the expensive GF alternative; but, this hypothetical situation is more concerned about the well being of the individual instead of turning a profit. Shocking.
In conclusion, if you're eating gluten-free foods by choice because you think it'll help you be healthier or lose weight, you have some research to do. If you're eating it because you think it tastes better, I commend you, but agree to disagree with you. If you're eating gluten-free because you think it makes you "in the now" or gives you extra cool points, let me know when you've decided to leave the sandbox.

With all the gluten attention gluten-free products are being marketed and the rapid growth in that industry is being perpetuated not by real gluten issues but lay debate and allergy myths. Read what he has to say about it.
I disagree with your article. Many people do go gluten free because it IS healthier. Buying the processed gluten free crap from the stores isn't healthy, but actually staying away from wheat and eating REAL food instead is very beneficial. Kind of like the paleo or "cave man" diet suggests, humans aren't designed to digest wheat and dairy. In essence, we all are technically gluten and dairy intolerant. Like you suggest in your article, there is a wide spectrum of gluten intolerance ranging from mild to severe. But even those who haven't been diagnosed with a gluten allergy can feel much, much better after eliminating it from their diet. They also tend to eat less processed food and more REAL food since the majority of processed and packaged food contains wheat.
I guess what I'm trying to say that going gluten free is much more than a fad like you say. People choose to do it because grains and wheat aren't that good for the body. Ultimately, ANYBODY should have the choice to go GF, whether they are allergic or not. We all would be better off without eating wheat.
I have never met anyone who eats gluten free because they think it's "cool". Everyone I know that is on this diet does so for medical reasons. Perhaps there are such people in the world, but they must be few and far between.
I've met far more people who are angry that I am eating gluten free, as if my need for food that won't make me ill is some sort of an infringement upon their rights. I don't know why it bothers them so. It's my money and my choice. If a restaurant offers the option of a gluten free meal and I'm willing to pay the price, why should they care what I am eating. Why is it any of their business why I need this?
I've never had a restaurant that offers gluten free food demand I tell them why I need it. They always correctly assume it's for medical reasons. I guess they've not many people who are eating gluten free for a "fad" either.

Difference in P&L and TB
Hi - please help!
Vat Liability a/c has figure of £3k-ish, same figure in TB and on nominal list.
On the P and L the figure is £300 higher - how do I trace this difference?
TB different from reported values
Give me a call on 07776 307 037 and I may be able to help.
Check your COA
I would check the set up of your COA first within the company module and have a look at the range of codes as that may be want is causing the problem
-- Kind Regards Sarah@ Douglas Accountancy & Bookkeeping Services, Glasgow
Balance sheet - sorry
Apologies - I meant to say Balance Sheet.
Jason I will not be infront of the computer till 6 tonight is that too late to call? I just don't understand why when I open up 2202 (Vat Liability a/c) it has a figure which is the same as on the nominal lists, and obviously balances with my actual, submitted VAT returns but whe I process a Balance sheet it ups itself by almost £300.
I have checked (I think in the right way) the codes set up so I don't think it's that. Is it possible it is the difference in the debtors and creditors at year end? Does the fact that we have no purchases (we only have expenses) in the year make any difference? How do I access this "new" B/S figure to check what it is made up of?
If it is ok to call after 6 please let me know as I will hold off the crying till then..
Chart of Accounts or Dates of Reports
From reading your post the only things that I can think it might be are:
1. Chart of Accounts - you can check this easily by going to the COA tab within nominal and clicking check although it is unlikely that this is the reason as account 2202 that you mention is one of the standard nominals in sage so should already be included in the chart
2. Date of Report - the TB and Nominal show the up-to-date figures wheres the balance sheet runs to the month end - have you checked running all reports to the same date
If the above doesn't work then do you know when the balances all last agreed? This would at least help to narrow down the issue
Different TB and reports
After 6:00pm is fine.
In the last 2 hours I have made a discovery! My Purchase ledger Tax is being directed to the Current Assets section and that's why I couldn't see it in the nominal list in the Current Liabilities section - is this normal? And if not how do I fix it please? (and thanks to everyone and Jason!)
'Floating' Nominal
The VAT nominal is usually set up as a floating nominal within Sage which means that if it is money that you are owed it will be included within current assets but if it is money that you owe it will be within current liabilities.
If you want it always to be within current liabilities then you would need to amend this within the Chart of Account settings.
Good luck!
Editing Chart of Accounts
Before I dedicate myself to another evening at staring at the big green screen could anybody possibly give me step by step, button clicking guidelines of how I access the Chart of Accounts to edit it so that my Purchase Tax goes into the Current Liabilities section please?
Many thanks
Editing COA
Go to Company -> COA, select the relevant COA and choose Edit - the COA window will appear, select the relevant section on the left and the nominal code ranges will appear on the right hand side with the floating accounts at the bottom.
Maybe I'm Missing the Point
The way I run Sage and, up to now, thought was standard is that the VAT Liability A/c and the BS figure for VAT are rarely the same.
At the time of running a VAT Return, all the figures relating to that return are transferred from the Control A/cs to the VAT Liability A/c. This means that the net figure from the return is shown in this account until the date it is paid.
Subsequently any transaction involving VAT will go into the Purchase Tax and Sales tax Control A/cs. The BS figure at any time will be the sum of these three accounts, thus it will only be equal to the VAT Liability A/c immediately after running a VAT Return before any new entries are posted.
VAT Liability
Hi there,
The Balance Sheet in Sage shows the movement on the accounts for the period in question. The VAT Liability on the Balance Sheet covers a range of accounts - namely 2200 - 2209. So your VAT Liability figure comes from the movement (or transactions) on the Sales Tax Control a/c and the movement (or transactions) on the Purchase Tax Control a/c and any other accounts (such as manual adjustments) that you have in that code range.
If you run a nominal activity report for the code range 2200 - 2209 for the period of your Balance Sheet, deduct the debit entries from the credit entries and you should find that this equals the figure that appears on your Balance Sheet.
Hope this helps!
Thanks to everyone :-)
Just to say many thanks for the explanations and instructions. I only use SAGE for one client, for 2 days, every quarter and it's brilliant to have such quick, well-explained help from this community. It was easier 20 years ago with a pencil and a rubber and a T account...
Thanks again.

What should I do if my husband spanked our toddler too hard?
Last night, my husband spanked out toddler so hard that he broke blood vessels and will inevitably leave a bruise. I told him before that if he left a bruise on our toddler we would have words. I told my husband that he left a bruise on our toddler and he told me that he already told me that he accidentally got our toddler's leg instead of the diaper he was aiming for. He told me he won't stop spanking our toddler. Should I give my husband another chance or take action against this offense?

I would get him a book or video showing him that the baby still is developing and does not know any better.posted 03/22/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Not trying to be judgmental here. But i think it would be good for you to know that according to the laws of Indiana, a bruise left by physical punishment is reportable to child protective services. I am a social worker, and I don't want to make you feel bad, but I want you to know that this can cause problems and possible investigations for your family in the future. The laws of my state do no outlaw spanking altogether. But it does outlaw spanking that leaves brusing. Please talk to someone who can help the two of you get on the same page with discipline, and discipline in a positive, loving, educational manner.posted 03/22/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I am actually facing this face dilemma today. I have always been against spanking but our toddler's behavior has been getting so out of control that we just started spanking. My husband spanked him this morning and I noticed bruising afterwards. I have been upset about this all day and not sure what to do. I can't believe I'm in this position now after being opposed to spanking for so long. I am looking for advice, not ridicule or judgment, from anyone who has faced his themselves.posted 03/13/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Based on what you've said here, it doesn't appear as though he even regrets that he left a bruise. It sounds like he is brushing it off which isn't good. What if he does it again? Will he just brush it off then too? He brushes it off and then tells you that he won't stop? That's not cool and that's not spanking with love. This decision may be a tough one because he is your husband, but if he doesn't care now and says he won't stop then you may need to take action or have an authoritative figure talk to him about this. Your toddler shouldn't have had to suffer bruising at all let alone in the future and have him brush it off. This isn't looking too good. I'm sorry and I hope your baby is ok.posted 08/28/2010 by SaQu0915

I first sang on stage in the title role of Handel's Giulio Cesare as a guest of the Hungarian Opera Studio in the summer of 2003. I was a member of the Studio from September 2003 to June 2006 and received thorough tuition from Géza Oberfrank on the theatre, the stage and operatic roles, while music director Emil Petrovics generously offered me a number of stage appearances. On my debut night at the theatre I sang 3rd Lady in Mozart's Magic Flute, a role I have since kept at the same theatre.
I have a regular working relationship with the Budapest Chamber Opera (artistic director: Domonkos Moldován) (Handel - Semele, Monteverdi - L'incoronazione di Poppea), the Savaria Baroque Orchestra (art. dir.: Pál Németh) (Vivaldi - Juditha Triumphans, Salve Regina, Stabat Mater), Soma Dinyes and the Ars Longa Chamber Ensemble (Bach - Christmas Oratorio, Handel cantatas, duets etc.) and Salamon Kamp and the Hungarian Virtuosi Orchestra (Bach - Christmas Oratorio).
I often sing solo for organist and conductor András Virágh, (Liszt Prize) (Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Liszt), with whom I sang the Hungarian premier of Liszt's Esztergom Mass arranged for organ accompaniment in August 2008.
Since I won 1st Prize in the International Handel Competition in May 2007, I have been a soloist with the Italian I Virtuosi delle Muse (cond.: Stefano Molardi) and regularly given concerts with them all over Italy.
As one of the finalists in the closed competition Rome Musica Sacra in November 2008 I gained admittance to the I Virtuosi della Musica Sacra, lead by Daniela de Marco.
In 2007 I teamed up with István Kerek, an old friend and excellent violinist, to create a chamber group called Perle della Musica, hoping to share with our Hungarian audiences all the experience and knowledge I had gained during my stay in Italy. We are dedicated followers of the Venice style, characterized by a broad range of dynamics and tempi and bold musical ideas, all in an effort to enhance the excitement inherent in the pearls of Baroque music.
Since 2006, I have regularly appeared in the role of Grimgerde in The Valkyrie during the Wagner Days organized by the Budapest Palace of Arts and conductor Ádám Fischer.
In november 2009 I sang Vitellia in Vivaldis Tito Manlio in Ravenna with the Orchestra Accademia Bizantina e Stefano Montanari.

Although there were only five cooks who entered the 12th annual Chili Cookoff at the Port of Brookings-Harbor Saturday, the competition was hot and there was no shortage of chili.

There also was no lack of generosity at the event which benefitted Oasis Shelter Home in Gold Beach. At the cookoff, it was announced that $1,036 was raised, with more donations yet to be counted. On Tuesday, that figure increased to $1,224, according to Lea Sevey, Oasis Shelter Home director.
Winning the cookoff was Steve Leach, who presented entry 54, "Uncle Steve's Sweet and Nasty Chili." Judges Don Tilton, Kevin Bane and Trinity Sylvester also chose Dori Blodgett's "No. 18" (her entry number) chili for the second place award and Nanette McDoniels' "Grandma Nanette's Homemade Chili," entry 37, to receive third place. Prizes were $50 for first place, $30 for second and $20 for third.
Also competing were Mac Mazzettia with "Mac's Chili," and Canadian challenger Sharal Renfro, a newcomer to Brookings, who submitted her buffalo chili.
People attending also had the opportunity to choose their favorite. Blodgett won the $50 prize for the People's Choice Award, but the competition was hot.
"People's Choice was so close it was unbelievable," said Pat Silveria, owner of Slugs 'N Stones 'N Ice Cream Cones, sponsor of the event. "The vote spread was only five votes."
Blodgett received 72 votes, McDoniels earned 69 votes and Mac Mazzettia garnered 67 votes. A total of 261 people cast votes.
Attendance was actually higher as many people were there only to try the chili and chose not to vote, Silveria said. Each cook made at least 4 gallons of chili, providing enough for everyone who attended.
Providing entertainment before the event was the Renegade Line Dancers. During the event The Book Dock Band provided patriotic music.
According to the Oasis Shelter Home Web site, the organization provides emergency shelter for adult and child victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Oasis was founded as a result of a grassroots effort dedicated to establishing a haven for victims of family violence in Curry County.
The shelter, which has been housing victims since 1995, has 15 beds, two bathrooms, two laundry rooms and a playroom complete with toys and games and is the only emergency shelter between Coos Bay and Crescent City, Calif., the Web site says.
Oasis operates a toll free hotline and provides outreach services to victims and survivors, which includes children's programs; peer support groups; educational classes; assistance with restraining orders, housing forms and other documents; distribution of food boxes and donated items; and transportation to court and other appointments.
For information, call Oasis at (541) 247-7600 or (800) 447-1167.
