Self-governing since 1620, Bermuda is the oldest and most populous of the British overseas territories. Vacationing to the island to escape North American winters first developed in Victorian times. Tourism continues to be important to the island's economy, although international business has overtaken it in recent years. Bermuda has also developed into a highly successful offshore financial center. A referendum on independence from the UK was soundly defeated in 1995.

Over 80% of its visitors come from the US. The sector struggled in the wake of the global recession of 2008-09. International business, which consists primarily of reinsurance and other financial services, is the real bedrock of Bermuda's economy, consistently accounting for about 85% of the island's GDP. Even this sector, however, has lost roughly 5000 high-paying expatriate jobs since 2008, weighing heavily on household consumption and retail sales. Bermuda must import almost everything. Agriculture and industry are limited due to the small size of the island. Bermuda's economy entered its seventh straight year of recession in 2015. Unemployment is 9%, public debt is growing and exceeds $2.3 billion, the government pension fund faces a $2.4 billion shortfall, and the economy has not attracted significant amounts of new foreign investment. Bermuda's FY 2015-16 budget projects a 12% larger deficit than FY14/15. The government announced it would borrow $125 million in 2015 to meet current operating expenses. Still, Bermuda enjoys the fourth highest per capita income in the world, about 70% higher than that of the US.

For Cape May County real estate owners who'd like to see nature without necessarily
diving in, the Wetlands Institute's aquariums or one of the county's many golf courses
offer the beauty of wildlife in a more modern setting.
Ocean County real estate is some of the most coveted in New Jersey, as the
County itself has the fastest growing population in the state. Located South of
Monmouth County and East of Burlington County, Ocean County real estate is within
short driving distance of Philadelphia, New York City, and
Atlantic City. The real estate in Ocean County makes up one third of the
New Jersey Shoreline, making it a great area for beach lovers.
Founded in 1850 when several townships broke off from the southern half of Monmouth
County, Ocean County established
Toms River as their seat of government. While initial growth of the area
was slow, Ocean County real estate has taken off in the last three decades thanks
to the development of its gorgeous coastline. Today, over 560,000 Ocean County real
estate owners enjoy the many benefits it has to offer.
With 27 parks, 20 libraries, and 19 museums, Ocean County real estate has plenty
more to do than just visiting the beach. Ocean county real estate owners also benefit
from the numerous golf courses, several professional theaters, and nearby amusement
parks such as Six Flags Great Adventure. Whether spending time on the boardwalk,
escaping to a nearby city, or strolling through a state park, Ocean County real
estate owners have plenty to be happy about.

"Panicked" was the word Captain Harold Laubach used to describe the situation at the Salvation Army distribution center Tuesday. With about 2,000 children signed up for the Angel Tree program this Christmas, the organization still needs gifts for more than half of them.
"It's an emptiness in the pit of your stomach, that there is nothing that you can do to help these people right now," says Laubach.
But they aren't giving up yet. With tremendous amount of faith in the community, Captain Laubach and city councilman Ray Aguilera are pleading with the community to save Christmas for hundreds of children this year.
There is just one week before distribution of gifts is scheduled to begin, and that leaves little time. The Angel Tree is located inside Pueblo Mall in front of the Sport's Authority store. All you have to do is take a card, buy the gifts, then bring them back to the tree. Another way you can help is to donate money in Pueblo at the kettles around town. You can donate to the program by writing a check and on the memo line indicating it is for the Angel Tree.
Kids 12 and under were eligible this year for the Angel Tree, the only other qualifying criteria were that they had to be residents of Pueblo County and their family had to prove their level of income. The Salvation Army says, the majority of those signed up are in bad shape financially.
KKTV's partner for our toy drive, Christmas Unlimited, plans to reach out to the Salvation Army to see if there is something they can do to help. The United Way of Pueblo and El Pomar both made financial donations of $1,500 and $2,500 respectively, Tuesday as well. Still, it's a drop in the bucket says the Salvation Army.
Their only hope of providing gifts to all of the children that signed up this year is with your help.

My friends and I have stayed in Union on several occasions and have undeniably had quite enjoyable experiences. The historic Union Hotel is one of my personal favorites with its theme rooms, whispers of the possibilities of ghostly encounters, fabulous cuisine and the delightful gentleman owners. The other business owners and residents of the community have always been pleasant and cordial.
So recently, when attending the motorcycle rally in Joseph, the choice of accommodations was clear. To stay in Union. That apparently was a mistake, as two of my dear friends had an unfortunate and quite honestly archaic reception at one of the Union eateries.These two gentle giants decided to go down the street from the hotel for dinner. Apparently, it was a "seat yourself" establishment. So they did. They waited quite some time for service and received none. When they approached the counter to order beverages and ask for a menu, they were informed, "we don't serve your kind here!"
Now, I am wondering, just what "your kind" is? Is it two of the nicest men you will have the opportunity to meet? Men who would never pass a stranded motorist without offering assistance? Men who still open door for ladies, men who have families, children and are highly respected in their chosen professions as well as their communities? Men who work hard, pay their taxes, support our troop and believe in God and country?
Would these men have been served had they motored into town on a crotch rocket, Honda or in a BMW or pickup truck? Would they have been served had they donned Dockers and loafers instead of jeans, boots and black leather chaps? Perhaps they should have been sporting crew cuts and mullets instead of a ponytail and incredible Santa-white hair. Or maybe cowboy hats and ball caps versus do-rags and helmets would have garnered service at this establishment.
Be assured, we are not gun-toting, drug-dealing, trouble-making bikers. We don't ride into town, terrorize the locals, start fights or steal. We don't break windows, trash hotel rooms, corrupt your children or kick the dog.
Let me tell you who "your kind" is. We are devoted spouses, parents, grandparents and children. We are loyal friends. We are mechanics, business owners, chemical engineers, veterans, teachers, secretaries, nurses and farmers. We come from every profession that may come to mind. We are faithful, we are volunteers, we support our favorite charities, MDA and the American Cancer Society to name a few. We are Harley owners and riders. Who choose to ride our motorcycles as our form of therapy, relaxation and comraderie.
We choose destinations that we hope to be interesting, with local history and flair. Where we can spend time with our friends and family. Eat a good meal, stay in a comfortable room and perhaps do our part to stimulate the economy in the communities in which we choose to spend our hard-earned money.
It is difficult to believe that in 2009, with a black man in the White House, our society has regressed back to "your kind" and "you people." This is not a racial bias, nor is it likely to be racial profiling for the sake of national security in Union as these two gentleman happen to be Caucasian. This is simply and unfortunately an immediate mistrust and fear based upon appearances and preconceived stereotypes.
"Do not judge lest you be judged yourselves. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it shall be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-2.
So the business owners and residents of Union can be at ease again. "Your kind" (at least our small group of "your kind") and perhaps other "kinds" who read this letter won't be visiting your community in the future.

Well I wasn't sure which of your 4 threads to comment to so I will pick this one, and just for future reference try and only create one thread for one question otherwise people might get a bit annoyed.
None of the big chains will carry live food but they will carry frozen, in order to find live food you will have to open your local telephone book and start making cold calls to the local fish stores, not many of them will carry live foods due to lack of demand and expense of stocking it.

The following was also posted on the National School Boards Assocation's Center for Public Education blog, The Edifier.
Articles this past weekend by the Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) and the Associated Press strongly suggest the answer is yes. AJC attempted to answer this question by analyzing state standardized test scores from all 50 states to identify districts and schools that had statistically unusual fluctuations in their year to year test scores which is an indicator that cheating may be taking place. Although the unusual fluctuations do not prove there was cheating it does point to the strong possibility that cheating is in fact taking place. As a matter of fact, the newspaper used a similar methodology in 2009 which helped uncovered extensive cheating in Atlanta public schools.
But is cheating as prevalent across our public schools as the articles strong imply? The answer is quite simply no. When you actually look at the data from AJC you see that about 200 out of the nearly 15,000 school districts (which includes charter school districts and other special districts) analyzed by AJC had suspicious test scores like those found in Atlanta. This represents just 1.3 percent of all school districts nationwide. Keep in mind, even within these districts most schools showed no signs of cheating.
In fact, when AJC calculated how many individual students were likely to be directly impacted by cheating, just a tiny fraction (less than 1 percent) of the 13 million students examined were enrolled in the grade level within the schools where cheating likely took place.
Of course any cheating at the school or district level is not acceptable but the data does show that the AJC's assertion that the results "…suggest a broad betrayal of schoolchildren across the nation" is not only overblown but outright wrong. In fact their data shows that cheating is limited to a small proportion of districts and even smaller proportion of students nationwide. So parents and the general public should be confident that teachers and administrators in close to 99 percent of districts act in an ethical and professional manner.
Does this mean cheating shouldn't be a concern? Of course not. More work needs to be done by state and district leaders to ensure that the integrity of the test results are not compromised and that struggling students are appropriately identified so they receive the support and resources they need to actually improve their performance. In the case of the districts identified in the article they need to look further into the data to determine if in fact cheating is going on in their schools. Or whether the fluctuations are due to highly effective instruction in high scoring grades and ineffective instruction in following low scoring grades. Either way, districts need to know why there are such fluctuations so they can either eliminate any cheating or focus on improving instruction in grades where test scores drop.
While statistically large fluctuations in scores indicates a strong possibility of cheating, as anyone who has seen the movie Stand and Deliver, great teaching can lead to unpredictable increases in student achievement. And those teachers should not be considered guilty until proven innocent. But it also doesn't mean that such indicators of cheating should be ignored either. Either way, the actual data shows that cheating is limited to a small number of schools nationwide contrary to what the AJC and Associated Press articles imply.

Sister Wives on Anderson Cooper: Talk Plural Family, FLDS Controversy (Video)WendyM
Sister Wives season 3 kicked off last week with the Brown family's adjustment to Las Vegas and the announcement that fourth wife Robyn is pregnant.
Today, the Sister Wives ladies and husband Kody Brown sat down with Anderson Cooper to talk about their lifestyle and beliefs.
The Brown family shed more light on their family and how it differs from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). Anderson also had kids on his show who escaped from the FLDS.
One of Brown's daughters, Madison, said that there's a misconception about their polygamous family and FLDS, saying that when she told a friend that they were polygamists, the friend commented, "'Oh, like FLDS?' and she asked me if I had to marry my uncle and if my dad molested me. That's not us. That's sick and wrong to me."
Another of Brown's daughters, Mariah, said that she would like to be part of a plural marriage, noting, "I love looking at all my moms and seeing the relationship that they have with each other and how it's so sisterly and so loving. I love that. It's something I decided I want to do in my life."
Third wife Christine addressed the curiosity over how many wives there are, saying they're "just working on our family, what we have." She also explained to Anderson that she always wanted to be a third wife, though she does take a little heat from Cooper about just why third is the best!
"Sister Wives" airs on TLC Sunday nights at 10 p.m.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
Alasdair Soussi | 21 Dec 2013 12:46 GMT | US & Canada, Libya, Malta, Scotland, United Kingdom
Glasgow, Scotland - Lockerbie was one of the most infamous attacks of the modern age, a crime that claimed hundreds of innocent lives and thrust a sleepy little town into the full glare of the world's media and watching public.
That crime was the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and Saturday marks 25-years since the American-bound airliner fell out of the skies above Lockerbie, Scotland. Killing all 259 passengers and crew on board and 11 others on the ground, the December 21, 1988 bombing lead to the largest criminal investigation in Scottish legal history.
For the victims' families especially, the anniversary is a chance to remember loved ones who lost their lives that terrible winter's night. But, divisions between those who vigorously endorse the guilty verdict handed down to the only person convicted of the bombing, Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, and others who gravely doubt the safety of his conviction and are pressing for the real "truth" behind Lockerbie remain as entrenched as ever. The Libyan himself proclaimed his innocence up until his last breath when, nearly three years after his compassionate release from a Scottish jail, he died from prostate cancer at his Tripoli home in May last year - yet his death did little to unite what has become an ever-increasing divide.
'Red herring'?
"What definitely happened over the course of the Lockerbie investigation is that the police and the forensics people missed a shed load of evidence showing that the bomb was actually introduced at (London) Heathrow," says Morag Kerr, author of the new book Adequately Explained by Stupidity? - Lockerbie, Luggage and Lies, who contends that the bomb was not, as the prosecution successfully argued at Megrahi's trial at a specially convened Scottish court in the Netherlands, loaded onto an Air Malta flight at the island's Luqa airport by the Libyan.
Once the police saw Malta it was a lost cause.
- Morag Kerr, author
"Whether that was pure incompetence or whether they were being prodded - it may have actually been a combination of both."
Kerr told Al Jazeera that one of the golden threads of evidence against the man who was convicted in 2001 - the clothes, which were said to have been wrapped around the bomb and which were traced to a shop in Malta owned by Tony Gauci who testified to selling them to Megrahi - was "a red herring".
"Once the police saw Malta it was a lost cause," says Kerr, who is also secretary-deputy of the UK-based Justice for Megrahi campaign. "The coincidence of the red herring that led them to Malta I think convinced them that they got the right guy. And, at that point I think it was a lost cause that they were ever going to go back and investigate Heathrow."
Strong 'circumstantial evidence'
While the likes of Kerr are adamant that both the direction of the investigation and Megrahi's guilt were grave errors - others take the opposite view. Richard Marquise led the FBI's task force on Lockerbie and refuses to be swayed by any notion that the investigation was flawed or that Megrahi suffered a miscarriage of justice, though he does lament the acquittal of Megrahi's co-accused, Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah.
"When we did the investigation, we collected all the evidence that was available… and when it was all said and done the evidence we collected pointed to Megrahi, Fhimah and Libya," says the retired special agent, speaking to Al Jazeera. "We always hoped that we would get, through the years, more information that would substantiate that in greater fashion, but unfortunately we didn't get a lot. But, the circumstantial case was as strong as I've seen in my career, and I think the judges got it half right - I think Fhimah was involved although the circumstantial evidence was not quite as strong as it was against Megrahi. But, I'm convinced of [Megrahi's] guilt."
Stephanie Bernstein lost her husband on Pan Am Flight 103. Like Marquise, the American is emphatic that all the evidence points towards Megrahi.
"He did not wake up one morning, along with Fhimah, and say 'we've got nothing better to do, lets put a bomb on a plane,' they were agents of the Libyan intelligence service so they were of that part of (Muammar) Gaddafi's Libyan regime," Bernstein told Al Jazeera. "So they absolutely did not act alone - but I've got absolutely no doubt about [Megrahi's] guilt in terms of what he was convicted of."
As a dissenting voice to those of Bernstein, few are more high profile than Jim Swire. The Brit lost his daughter in the bombing and has consistently rejected the trial's outcome, arguing that the wrong man was convicted for the atrocity, and that two crucial points remain unanswered, both of which he and involved members of the British relatives are intending to officially challenge through an application for a further appeal against Megrahi's conviction or another route.
"Our position is that we've always wanted to know the truth about why the plane wasn't protected and who it really was that killed our loved ones," Swire told Al Jazeera. "And, we're not just going to go away because the (Scottish and British governments) are refusing our reasonable requests to give us that information… I've taken steps to organise the British relatives - and we are having a series of meetings with lawyers, but there won't be a satisfying statement about what the British relatives are going to do until the third week of January at the earliest."
Megrahi: A scapegoat?
Yet, as to searching out other avenues of blame for the Lockerbie disaster and giving credence to the claims made by Kerr and others who, by way of published works, have cast doubt on the eyewitness account of Gauci selling the clothes, Malta airport being the starting point for the bomb and other aspects of the evidence, Bernstein remains unmoved.
"These are old recycled stories - none of these are new," says Bernstein, who argues "the real story of Lockerbie is the dogged determination of the Scottish police and the FBI and Scottish law enforcement in general who covered every single inch of that territory (of debris) by foot". "If you said to me a couple of months ago, what would you predict about what would happen about press coverage around the 25th anniversary, I think we all would have predicted this."
But, why the widely-reported difference between the conviction of the US families who believe in Megrahi's guilt and many of their UK counterparts who have expressed grave doubt? Swire claims that the stateside relatives "seem to be ready to accept what their government tells them much more readily than many of us do".
"When the trial was ongoing, it was two British relatives, one of whom was me, who were there and watched the trial unfold - and became convinced to their horror that they were seeing a scapegoating of Megrahi," adds the retired GP, who contends that the American families likely "wish I would just go away and forget it all".
But, even for many of those on the other side of the Atlantic who are themselves yet to be convinced of Megrahi's innocence, there is a belief that efforts to clear his name must be directly confronted if only to lift a shadow from one of Scotland's most revered national institutions.
"Lockerbie is a huge cloud hanging over the Scottish justice system," Magnus Linklater, a leading Scottish political commentator, told Al Jazeera. "It's almost as if the allegation that Megrahi is innocent is the default position. But, that in its turn has not been tested and it's been allowed to go unchallenged and it's high time that it was properly challenged."

Moe released by Patriots
Friday, May 31, 2013
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots released former Missouri wide receiver T.J. Moe on Friday.
Moe signed a rookie contract with $30,000 in guaranteed money after going undrafted out of Missouri — the most lucrative deal for a Patriots undrafted free agent in the offseason.
According to multiple reports, Moe was released under the waived/injured designation, meaning he would be able to join the Patriots' injured reserve if he clears waivers. It is unclear when Moe was injured, who attended Patriots workouts as late as Wednesday.
Moe totaled 188 receptions for 2,101 yards and 11 touchdowns at Missouri.

Keltie Colleen Shops at Lovely!
Très chic cool girl Keltie Colleen stopped into Lovely Los Angeles during our Watters trunk show to play dress up and dream up her ideal wedding gown. We loved having the gorgeous "The Insider" reporter in the shop telling us which fashion trends she's loving and what bridal musts she just has to have at her upcoming nuptials! Here's a little snippet from her blog about her day with us:
"We are knee deep in planning with my amazing wedding planner Tori Hendrix from Sitting In A Tree (she's the best!) and I've been working on designing my wedding dress with my favorite brand Watters. Before they started a single stitch, the whole team flew out to Los Angeles to host a Watters trunk show at the happiest place on earth, no not Disneyland, Lovely Bride.
I visited Lovely Bride (and met manger Merrill who is like the cool, hip fashionable sister you wish you had) and tried on all the dresses from the brand new Watters collection for inspiration for my final dress. I'm obsessed with their use of color- pale grey, baby pink. I am also in love with their use of lace, vintage darlings eat your heart out! They also had this AMAZING veil, full of glitter- I HAD to try it on….
The shoppe is a little, quaint white bridal-wonderland in Los Angeles (they have one in NYC too) that stocked unique dresses that you could never find in the mega-stores. Everything is tres chic + really perfect for a bride like me, who wants something amazing, but a little unique too."
Aww thanks girl! We had such a blast! To learn more about Keltie and her amazing life interviewing celebs and keeping up with the hottest fashion trends visit her blog and follow her on twitter and instagram: @keltiecolleen

BOULDER — University of Colorado's Chucky Jeffery led the Buffaloes to their first Associated Press ranking in five seasons and their first top-10 win in over 10 years, and as a result picked up some well-deserved conference and national recognition on Monday.
Jeffery was named the espnW National Player of the Week and Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week for the week of Dec 10-16. She also received national and Pac-12 Player of the Week honors from collegesportsmadness.com.
A 5-foot-10-inch guard from Colorado Springs, Colo., Jeffery averaged 18 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 46 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free-throw line in wins over Denver and No. 8 ranked Louisville last week.
Against Louisville she had a game-high and personal season-best 22 points along with seven rebounds, four assists and one steal as the Buffaloes claimed their first win over a top-10 opponent since defeating No. 5 Stanford in the 2002 NCAA Sweet 16. Jeffery recorded season highs from the 3-point line (2-of-5) and the foul line (8-10) as she became the 16th player in team history to reach 1,300 career points (1,317).
Jeffery had 14 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals in the road win over Denver on Dec. 11. She notched her second double-double of the season, and 22nd of her career, tying Sandy Bean (1978-82) for fifth on CU's all-time list.
The two wins allowed Colorado to remain one of only eight unbeaten teams in NCAA Division I (9-0) and crack the Associated Press poll this week at No. 25 for the first time since Jan. 14, 2008.
Jeffery's Pac-12 Player of the Week honor is her second, as she received the same award on Dec. 5, 2011. It's Colorado's fifth overall Pac-12 weekly award and fourth this year. Arielle Roberson is a three-time winner of Pac-12 Freshman of the Week so far this season.
Colorado will return to the court on Saturday, Dec. 22, by hosting Utah Valley at 1:30 p.m. at the Coors Events Center.

For Emergency Response Dial 9-1-1
To Report a Non-Emergency Crime Dial 456-2233
On Friday morning, January 18, 2013, at about 3:45 a.m., Spokane Valley Sheriff's Deputies responded to a transformer fire at an Avista substation at Barker and Euclid. Spokane Valley Fire had responded to a transformer fire at the substation and saw the
fence surrounding the station had been cut open. Deputies found a large opening in the fence and were able to see footprints leading into the substation.
An Avista employee responded to the scene and told deputies a ground wire had been cut and removed from the transformer on fire. The employee said that removing the ground charged the transformer with over 7,500 volts of electricity causing it to ignite. The
employee said the suspect(s) more than likely were burned from cutting the ground. Several other ground lines were removed inside the station. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.

Should I mention my miscarriages when people ask if this is my first baby?
After two miscarriages, my husband and I are expecting a little girl in June. With the due date drawing near, my tummy is really starting to grow. Many people ask if this is our first baby, and we usually say 'yes,' but I feel guilty not mentioning the other two babies we've lost. Is it inappropriate or should I mention them?

It's always difficult to know whether or not to mention a lost child. I've caught myself comparing this pregnancy to the one that I lost when talking to people, and they ask if I have other children. I politely with a smile on my face tell them no I lost the first one but it's never far from my heart. It usually goes pretty well, and if they want details I do not hesitate to tell them because more often than not I end up giving them my phone number to give to someone who has or is dealing with the same issue.posted 06/14/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I know how you feel. My first pregnancy was ectopic, but that baby will always be my first, at least to me. I am now seven months pregnant and people ask me if this is my first all the time. Sometimes I say yes, because it's easier, and generally these are strangers making conversation. But it always bothers me. Sometimes I explain that I lost my first. I know it makes people uncomfortable, but there are times when I need to honor that child more than I need to accommodate strangers' feelings. My therapist, who also suffered miscarriage before giving birth to two living children, says that I should do whatever I need to do at that moment. Either way you answer, the question will remind you of your loss, and I certainly sympathize.posted 05/31/2004 by JenBlk
In the same way we answer "fine." when people ask us how we are (whether it's true or not) you can say yes at first. Most people are not engaged and intimate enough with you to really appreciate your full answer. Think of it like casting pearls before swine- are the people asking truly going to honor the memories of your two babies?posted 08/06/2008 by brigittassen23
I am so sorry about your losses but I think the polite thing to do is keep quiet about your miscarriages. It is a very personal and private thing, I can't imagine what the benefit would be from mentioning it to every Tom D*ck and Harry who asks if this is your only child. I once asked a woman if her daughter was her only child and she said she had one miscarriage and then got very quiet and sad. It was very uncomfortable and I felt sad that she couldn't just take joy in the daughter that she had.posted 10/03/2008 by Zorro222
Every child is a gift and a blessing. Whether they get to stay with us here on earth or we have to wait to see them in heaven. I have 3 in heaven! I had a blighted ovum, my son died at 19days because he had unbalanced chromosomes,& 4mo. after him I had another miscarraige. Now I'm due in September, and we have no idea if the baby will make it because I'm a carrier. We do have a wonderful 2year old boy who brings us such joy. God has brought us through alot, and even if we lose more, we will be thrilled about each one. I don't always tell everyone that I have had other losses, but I think it's great if you do honor the babies that you have in heaven. You will always love them and they are apart of your family.posted 02/12/2008 by genius0528
I would say it is totally up to you. Although I've never experienced a miscarriage, I can assume sometimes it may be a little difficult for you to mention. Don't feel bad about it. Sometimes you may also put others in an awkward situation by telling them that because not everyone knows how to respond to that kind of news. Then on the other hand, you may be offering helpful information to someone who has also had a miscarriage and may be having a difficult time coping with it. That's why we're all here because sharing stories help and somtimes heal. Do what you feel is warranted in each situation.posted 09/18/2007 by 3izenuf
I have had several miscarriages and I'm expecting in October ,however, if persons ask if it's my first pregnancy I usually say yes. I don't see the need for them to know my history and to go on in a long storyposted 04/15/2016 by a BabyCenter Member
don't be an attention seeker and say yes! If you are struggling with your previous losses get professional help but don't burden yourself and other people with that... The entire world does not need to know...posted 07/03/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
you didn't have to if you feel uncomfortable doing that.posted 02/23/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
No you don't have to tell them that unless they're asking about it.posted 01/04/2015 by a BabyCenter Member

Thanks Mike for the prompt and detailed reply. I may still need a workshop manual as the car is eight years old and stuff is happening. Any suggestions for a good manual? Regards

Power Politics and the Indonesian Military
Taylor & Francis, May 1, 2003 - Political Science - 304 pages
Throughout the postwar history of Indonesia, the military have played a key role in the politics of the country and in imposing unity on a fragmentary state. The collapse of the authoritarian New Order government of President Suharto weakened the state and the armed forces briefly lost their grip on control of the archipelago. However, under President Megawati, the military has again begun to assert itself, and re-impose its heavy hand on control of the state, most notably in the fracturing outer provinces. Based on extensive original research, this book examines the role of the military in Indonesian politics. It looks at the role of the military historically, examines the different ways it is involved in politics, and considers how the role of the military might develop in what is still an uncertain future.

Doc here with an important article from Alex (from Alex and Lauren fame) about what is currently going on at CVE in Gastonia, NC. What Alex has to say is important, and it may mirror what is going on in different parts of the country as we speak. As much as we like to have fun here at The Journal, please keep in mind that "this thing of our's" is an endangered species in many (if not most) parts of the USA and Canada. The story Alex weaves for us is a cautionary tale. Alex, you have the floor:
Hello Good Doctor,
Yes, indeed, we are still alive and kicking. A bit overworked lately which, sadly, has cut into play time and has left even less opportunity to write about the times we do get out for a bit. Enough whining.
Things have been interesting at CVE lately, but for all the wrong reasons. I have written a bit about it on our site (http://1playfulcouple.com/), including my take on the whole thing. There are a couple of things that have put CVE on the radar of public observation.
I chatted with the owner of the place the other day. Other than being frustrated with a guy who has access to the web, he is not particularly concerned. City officials have inspected his place, law enforcement is aware of the business ( he has been in the Adult Entertainment business in Gastonia for years) and there does not seem to be any sort of pressure from the city to do anything.
The other issue stems from another adult bookstore in town that has been forced to close due to a zoning ordinance, which stated that an adult business could not operate within so many feet of a residence, a church, etc. When the ordinance was put into effect in 1994, businesses had eight years to comply. The owner of the business challenged the ordinance. After 16 years, he has lost the final battle and has to close his place at the end of this month. He is not going quietly. He posted a rant on his store's website saying that if he has to go, his competition should have to leave, too. Although they are in compliance with the zoning rules, he claims that they violate a "one use" ordinance, which states that only one kind of adult business can operate under one roof. His complaint found its way to the local paper.
As I said, I chatted with the owner and the zoning people were out not long ago to look at CVE. Apparently they come through from time to time. They seem to have no issue with how the business is set up.
This is a long, dry tome with no exposed tits or throbbing hardons, I realize. But for "One of America's most trusted authorities on the current state of adult theaters", I thought you might want the details. More than that, I think these things should remind us that our "playgrounds" are often at risk these days. Adult theaters are few and far between. Only a fraction of those that are open are "couple-friendly" and many of those face pressure from politicians, preachers and the recession. Let's remember to support them. Learn the names of your city, county and state officials who have made a target of adult establishments and vote accordingly at the next election. (If you don't know their names, ask your local adult business owner. He/She will be happy to tell you!) Participate in city and county government meetings when these issues come up for public debate. And, by all means, support your local business financially.
OK, Doc. Enough of that. I promise to write something a bit more salacious next time. If you deem this worthy of your readership, so be it. If not, I feel better just getting it off my chest! I suppose a few minutes with the Doctor is supposed to have that effect, right?
Doc here again... Excellent advice from someone who is an expert in "this thing of our's". My advice is to re-read it again later, as it's outstanding food for thought.
Also make sure you check out Alex and Lauren's site at http://1playfulcouple.com/
