the son of a French painter, and himself born in France, came young into England, and rose to great business, though upon a very slender stock of merit. He was violently afflicted with the gout and stone, and died in May, 1723, at the age of fifty-four. He left a son whom he bred to his own profession. 2
(1675—1739.) 3
No painter of so much eminence as Jervas is taken so little notice of by Vertue in his memorandums, who neither specifies the family, birth, nor death of this artist. The latter happened at his house 4 in Cleveland-court, in 1739. One____________________
He was the eldest son of the celebrated Gaspard Netscher, and his most able pupil, excelling, like him, in small portrait disposed in family groups. Leaving Holland, he was much encouraged at the court of Louis XIV. ; but in 1715, the States of Holland having sent over six thousand men to the aid of George I., he obtained the office of their treasurer.
His great patron was Sir Matthew Dekker, a London merchant, of Dutch birth. By him Netscher was introduced to the royal notice, was favoured by the Prince of Wales (George II.); and was employed by the nobility to paint small family groups, inferior, but not greatly so, to those of his father. In 1722, he returned to Holland, and lived splendidly upon the fruits of his art, acquired in this country. His original friend, Sir Matthew Dekker, visiting Holland in 1727, endeavoured to persuade him to settle again in England, but without success. He died in 1732.—D.
[Theodore Netscher was born at Bordeaux in 1661, and died at Hulst, in Holland, in 1732. See an account of him in Van Gool's Nieuwe Schouburg, from which Descamps' notice is taken.—W.]

MURRELLS INLET, S.C. (AP) -- A man is in custody after authorities say he took a Georgetown County sheriff's cruiser and led police on a chase into North Carolina.
The Georgetown County Sheriff's Department says 35-year-old Camilo Diaz of Surfside Beach was a patient at Waccamaw Community Hospital in Murrells Inlet when he was seen walking away Sunday morning. Deputies tried to apprehend him when he got into a deputy's cruiser and sped away.
Diaz was stopped near Tabor City, N.C., about 50 miles away, driving the cruiser on its rims.
He is in custody in Georgetown County charged with grand larceny and failure to stop for blue lights. It's not known if he had an attorney.
Authorities are investigating just how he was able to take the cruiser.

Galigeo Acquires Location Intelligence Division Of APOS Systems Inc.
TORONTO, Aug. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Galigeo and APOS Systems Inc. today announce that Galigeo has acquired the assets, staff and activities of the Location Intelligence division of APOS Systems Inc., and is including them in its portfolio of Location Intelligence Solutions under the name "Galigeo-APOS LIS". For APOS clients and partners this will be a seamless transition because Galigeo will integrate the LIS software to its offerings, while continuing to provide and expand worldwide technical support, maintenance and specialized consulting services. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130828/NY70496LOGO)" With this acquisition Galigeo continues its leadership in Location Intelligence and Location Analytics software," says Galigeo CEO Christian Tapia-Stocker. " Galigeo's focus on modern, standards-based applications and services solidifies our leadership position of combining Location with business data in applications to improve business outcomes. The acquisition of the Location Intelligence division of APOS Systems Inc. accelerates that move." APOS' Location Intelligence software, when integrated with Galigeo's expertise with industry vertical and horizontal business applications, will serve as the centerpiece of Galigeo's innovative and forward-moving Location Intelligence (LI) solutions strategy. Galigeo's LI solutions will now include BI*Where, Retail*Where, Sell*Where, Galigeo Dashboard, and Galigeo-APOS LIS (for SAP® BusinessObjects™ BI solutions). This robust suite of industry-leading software (with more than 200 installations in 18 countries), when connected to BI, CRM and mapping platforms such as SAP BusinessObjects solutions, IBM Cognos, Salesforce.com, Microsoft, Esri and others, provides more than ample solutions to our current customers, protecting their LI investments today and providing a growth path for their future. " This acquisition improves Galigeo's market-facing capabilities to deliver enterprise-level location intelligence solutions in geo-marketing, sales optimization, law-enforcement, infrastructures and compliance. This investment supports our strategic agenda: continued expansion and growth, especially in the US, and commitment to our strategic partners, such as SAP and Esri," says Christian Tapia-Stocker. "APOS has known Galigeo as a strong business competitor in the Location Intelligence market during the 8 years we have been involved in this space," says Allan Pym, COO of APOS. "This acquisition takes Galigeo to a new Location Intelligence market leadership position, helping them take current and future customer organizations to new levels of success in their location intelligence and location analysis initiatives. APOS is now able to return to a pure focus on platform management solutions for SAP BusinessObjects, where we have been market leaders for almost 15 years." Location Intelligence adds the spatial dimension to standard BI and CRM systems to solve optimization, analysis, prediction and reporting problems. While all major business sectors can benefit, Galigeo focuses on retail, consumer goods, communications services, energy, pharma/life-sciences, manufacturing, government and homeland security.

My dog Bubba, a 13 1/2 year old Australian Shepherd had had a bout with pancreatitis a couple of years ago and Dr. Bauman and his staff have been extremely wonderful in taking care of Bubba. Most recently Bubba got very sick and I thought it was just another round of something he ate but unfortunately it was Stage 4 Lymphoma.Chemotherapy was recommended. However, at this stage and in his condition, I felt it was something I couldn't do "prevent the inevitable" for my selfish reasons.My faithful companion never exhibited any pain that he was in, he just wanted to please. There was no judgment, just sincere compassion, caring and love for my Bubba shown by the staff including Dr. Jennifer Close who most recently took care of Bubba. Jackie is an "angel" and takes care of not only the pets that come in, but their owners as well. Candace was extremely comforting the day we took Bubba in and treated Bubba and me with tender loving care. Their room where they took us was just beautifully decorated by Jackie who put a great deal of thought to it for a time such as this...a comfortable bed for your pet, not a cold table, with pet pillows, "rainbow bridge" poem, a loveseat, just so comforting for a time like this. Bubba crossed over with no pain, just peace. It was quite beautiful and I will never forget that moment. Thank You to all of you at VCA Village Animal Hospital for your love and care...I will not forget you.

Hi all,
I'm just posting to say hello. My interests are in evolving from early subcultural dress (Mod and soul scene in UK) to style based look that I can mature with combining Ivy style, English tailoring, Italian soft clothing and USA west coast informality. I live in Nottingham UK, buy and sell clothes occasionally on ebay, participate in the Talk Ivy forum too and will be mostly at the 'Mod to Suedehead' thread here initially.
Thanks and remember...
Think Smart!

The logo talk is interesting in that I believe the Athletic Department is trying to establish a logo for our national idenity. Are we:
-Iowa State
In my book, we are known as Iowa State on a national basis. The same as Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Penn State etc. We will never be ISU, our ID is already Iowa State. LSU, USC, UCLA have established their letters, but not Iowa State. So in my view, the I-State logo will be used to identify us as "Iowa State" in a concise way, and to separate us from "Iowa." I'm sure research was done by Iowa State, and I believe the new logo came from that research.
Definitely not ISU but i think its close between Iowa State and Cyclones.
Might be, just seems the TV announcers, analyst and college pubs seem to use Iowa State the most. But that is only one persons observation. Maybe Cyclones is getting national use. It's a great name.
Cyclones is a kool monikor.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
"Cyclones" is the best thing we have going for us. But in order to establish a national identity, we need to seek out all the high profile games that we can get, especially in football and men's and women's basketball. The Florida St. game a couple years ago was a perfect example of what will build a brand. I guarantee that game opened a lot of eyes on a national level, not only with fans, but recruits. Go anywhere and play anyone........meaning play the big boys. Get our basketball programs in the high profile tournaments. Shuck one of our sisters of the poor non-conference opponents in football for a Miami, LSU, UCLA......whoever will take us. If it's a one and done away game, so be it. This will build the Cyclones brand on a national level.

- Item Category: Advertising

I have up for bid, a rare old vintage Texaco Service Light.It's written on the box: "A high density long range, bright beam multi-use 12 volt and light loaded with convenience features. For use in car, boat, airplane, truck or camper. Every vehicle should have one! A compact 2 ¾" tall, Less then 2 ½" diameter – fits snugly in the glove compartment. Its approximate 12 foot cord length winds up entirely inside the case – even the cigarette lighter plug-in device tucks away! Just like a smooth little unopened can when not in use!

A brand new design and functional concept in powerful spotlights no driver should be without. Made entirely in the U.S.A. Patent number 3,439,159. Other patents pending."

K12 online conference has started this week -- enjoy it!
K12 Online is a fantastic resource for all educators. There are many great speakers lined up for this year's conference. While I missed out on submitting this year (not having AC for most of August got me out of kilter) there are so many incredible educators there that it will be an AWESOME source of learning. Plan ahead and MARK YOUR CALENDARS to participate.
K12 online announces their themes and are also looking at including presentations in Spanish. The call to present will be released during NECC 2009.
Silvia Tolisano shares her very good outline of the keynote Julie and I did for k12 online as well as her reflections.
I love the thing she got from this -- why do some teachers take time to grow and others do not? What can we teach teachers to do that will help them grow?
Those who want to share a presentation they've done with the K12 online community, share at the K12 online fringe festival just starting up at notk12online -- ANYONE can submit a preso on ANYTHING. So, dust off those slideshares and vids and start sharing!
Time for K12 online conference proposals:
"We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for the third annual "K12 Online Conference" for educators around the world interested in the use of web 2.0 tools in classrooms and professional practice. This year's conference is scheduled for October 20-24 and October 27-31 of 2008, and will include a pre-conference keynote during the week of October 13. The conference theme for 2008 is "Amplifying Possibilities." Participation in the conference (as in the past) is entirely free. Conference materials are published in English and available for worldwide distribution and use under a Creative Commons license. Some changes in the requirements for presentations are being made this year and are detailed below. The deadline for proposal submission is June 23, 2008. Selected presentations will be announced at NECC 2008 in San Antonio, Texas, USA on July 2.

Schmidt Quotes
You can't outrun the Jewish!
My face touched the mustache of a corpse today, Bobby. I'm not afraid of you.
Maybe none of us should go to this funeral. The early buzz on this thing is it's gonna be a real drag.
Don't laugh when they call him "responsible," they don't know why it's hilarious.
There are plenty of things to be down about--the deficit, air pollution in China, "The Hobbit" wasn't very good...
Schmidt: Does it say "share stuff" in the Constitution of America? No, it does not. Nicholas, what does it say?
Nick: Don't share stuff.
Destiny might be a lady, but victory has a penis.

Maybe… Halloween is not that big here, and trick or treating is virtually unknown here. I haven't been invited to any Halloween parties either so far. But if in the end I do get an invite, then I will gladly dress up
Hopefully yes. I have a flapper costume I didn't get to use last year, so maybe it'll get some wear this year.
I am going as a victim of Jack the Ripper. In other words, a 19th century prostitute.
I'm still not sure. I always give it some thought every year, but in the end, I'm just too lazy, LOL! I have a ton of clothes & makeup to pull from if I change my mind.
I did as a child but my daughter attends a religious school, so we shy away from costumes.
Just today because we're having kids over for Trick or Treat — I'm Medusa! Rubber snake hat and black and green wig from Amazon, the rest is all makeup!
I teach Kindergarten, so I'm dressing up for sure. But it's hard to find a good costume for women that isn't the sexy version of something.
I went as a mermaid for my first Halloween party. I've got at least one more to go to, not sure what I'll dress up as, but I'm sure I will. I love Halloween
Went to a party last night. I dressed as Daria Morgendorffer, and did my friends makeup, who dressed as Pizzazz (Jem). I always choose characters that have glasses (since I cant' wear contacts without several hundred dollars and severe discomfort).
Yes – twice. One is simple and requires a No Makeup Makeup look.
The other is mardi Gras with the lashes and lips. But most of the eyes are behind a mask. Super easy.

Investors in Zogenix Inc. (ZGNX) saw new options begin trading this week, for the March 22nd expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the ZGNX options chain for the new March 22nd contracts and identified the following call contract of particular interest.The call contract at the $5.00 strike price has a current bid of 25 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of ZGNX stock at the current price level of $4.33/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $5.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 21.25% if the stock gets called away at the March 22nd expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if ZGNX shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Zogenix Inc., as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing ZGNX's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $5.00 strike highlighted in red:

Rotary grilling up good times tonight
By: Bridget Jones, Journal staff writer
The Gold Country Fairgrounds will come alive today with a celebration of community and great food. The 26th annual Spirit of Auburn BBQ, hosted by the Auburn Rotary, starts at 5:30 p.m. with cocktails and dinner. This annual event is a chance for all community members to come together and reconnect while sharing a relaxing evening. "There're a number of people that with life, don't get out to community events that often, but they don't want to miss this event," said Rotary President Elect Mike Wilson. "I can't think of another community event that is as large … for the type of community event that it is." The barbecue will include tri-tip, chicken, ribs, salmon, corn on the cob, beans, salad, bread, and a dessert item, Wilson said. Community members can also enjoy bidding on items such as restaurant dinners, gift baskets, rugs, and cabin rentals at a silent auction. Similar items will also be raffled off every 15 minutes until 8 p.m., Wilson said. Children and the young at heart can also enjoy clown-made balloon novelties, face painting, a bounce house and a climbing wall. Wilson said these items make the barbecue fun for every member of the family. "We've definitely targeted it to be not only a business networking event, but also a family event," Wilson said. The Auburn Police Department and Placer County Sheriff's Department will also be in attendance with a chance for residents to see officials from the mounted patrol, Search & Rescue team and SWAT team, according to barbecue Chairwoman Mary Jo Payne. Proceeds from the barbecue started benefiting the community from the moment tickets went on sale. According to Wilson, various local non-profit organizations such as PlacerArts, Boy Scouts-Gold Country District and Auburn Little League assisted in the sale of tickets. Out of every $25 ticket sold, these organizations keep $15. The remaining $10 of every ticket sale were used to purchase the food for the barbecue. All other proceeds from the barbecue are put into the Rotary's benevolent fund, much of which is donated back to the community's non-profit groups. A large percentage of this fund goes to academic and vocational scholarships for local high school students. Last year Rotary donated $15,000 to these scholarships, said Wilson. With 1,200 people predicted to attend, Payne said the barbecue is like a big family meeting. "The people I invited last year…they hadn't seen (certain community members) for a long time," Payne said. "It definitely is many people getting together who haven't seen each other in awhile. I think it keeps the community at more of a small-town feel. That's why it's such a nice event." ---------- Spirit of Auburn BBQ Hosted by: Auburn Rotary When: 5:30 p.m. today Where: Gold Country Fairgrounds, 1273 High St. Cost: $25 adults, $10 children 13 and under Call: (530) 268-2857

America's least literate newspaper says Seattle is America's most literate city. USA Today (the one with the colorful pie graphs!) reports that Seattle earned its well-read reputation by beating out Washington, D.C., Minneapolis and, most importantly, Portland.
Just your average, every day Seattleite.
Jack Miller, the president of Central Connecticut State University, has been compiling the list for the past seven years. Miller's rankings factor in six indicators: "newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment and Internet resources."
The Number One ranking is nice and all. But I wonder if things would be different if someone just explained to Miller that Seattle isn't opening new bookstores, it's just shuffling around the ones that already exist.

Mitt's Messages
Romney's convention speech is a preview of the fall campaign.
Four weeks ago, Romney showed signs of switching to the governor message. But his convention speech signaled that he's doubling down instead on the businessman message. Obama "took office without the basic qualification that most Americans have and one that was essential to his task," said Romney. "He had almost no experience working in a business. Jobs to him are about government." By contrast, Romney argued,
I learned the real lessons about how America works from experience. … That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples, where I'm pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping. The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we'd ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a cornfield in Indiana. Today Steel Dynamics is one of the largest steel producers in the United States. These are American success stories.
Romney is betting that the success stories he can tell from his years at Bain Capital will outweigh the failed investments and tragic layoffs that were hammered by Democratic ads. The political rationale for making this bet is that Romney can heavily outspend Obama on TV ads for the next two months. The risk is that the stories of failure, outsourcing, and layoffs may have sunk into voters' conscience in a way that no success stories can undo.
5. Class warfare kills jobs. This is Romney's most creative message, and it might be his most crucial. Here's how he put it last night:
Is it any wonder that someone who attacks success has led the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression? In America, we celebrate success, we don't apologize for it. … His plan to raise taxes on small business won't add jobs, it will eliminate them. His assault on coal and gas and oil will send energy and manufacturing jobs to China …
The message isn't just that taxes and regulations hurt the economy. The message is that even Obama's rhetoric hurts the economy. The phrase "attacks success" conflates Obama's words with his deeds. It implies that every time Obama complains about offshoring, portrays Romney as a cold-hearted capitalist, or suggests that rich people should pay more taxes, he's discouraging business and slowing the recovery. Persuadable voters are unhappy with the lousy economy but aren't sure what, if anything, Obama has done to cause it. At worst, they see his failure as incompetence. The "attacking success" message gives them a sharper answer. It attributes the weakness of the recovery not to bad luck or incompetence but to Obama's ideology. And it creates a possibility that Romney can jujitsu Obama's main pitch—that he's the president of the middle class against the rich.
If that possibility pans out—if Romney can make Obama's message self-destructive by chaining it to the economy's struggles as a causal factor—Romney will win the election. And this, in turn, could explain why Romney is doubling down on his decision to run as a businessman. The businessman image and the class warfare argument work together. They form a coherent narrative about how Obama harmed the economy, how he would continue to impede it, and why Romney can be expected to make things better.
6. Freedom. This is a familiar Republican refrain, but Romney put his own spin on it:
We are a nation of immigrants. We are the children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the ones who wanted a better life, the driven ones, the ones who woke up at night hearing that voice telling them that life in that place called America could be better. They came not just in pursuit of the riches of this world but for the richness of this life. Freedom. Freedom of religion. Freedom to speak their mind. Freedom to build a life. And yes, freedom to build a business. With their own hands. This is the essence of the American experience.
That's a very well-constructed appeal. It links the interests of poor strivers to the interests of thriving industrialists. It links social conservatives not just to economic conservatives but to libertarians. It broadens the GOP demographically, welcoming immigrants of all nationalities to the party's worldview. And it weaves these groups together to form a definition of America that's cultural and conservative without being ethnic.
7. Selective socialism. Despite his paeans to freedom, Romney underscored his intention to defend two enormous areas of government spending. Obama's "trillion-dollar cuts to our military will eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs," said Romney. "His $716 billion cut to Medicare to finance Obamacare will both hurt today's seniors and depress innovation—and jobs—in medicine."
That's a straight-up, double-barreled betrayal of the GOP's stated principles about fiscal responsibility, dependency, and the size of government. Will Romney get away with it? Probably. It might even win Florida and Virginia for him. The question then, for his party and his country, will be what kind of mandate and future he has won.

What can I do if I think my mother-in-law's filthy house is a danger to our baby?
My mother-in-law's house is dusty, dirty and unsanitary. The septic system can't handle paper waste, so she keeps a small, open-topped wastebasket next to the toilet for used toilet paper and feminine products. It often goes un-emptied for days or even a week. She's a hoarder, so the place is full of old newspapers and junk. I don't want to spend the holidays caring for our baby in this environment, but my husband says we'll hurt his mom's feelings if we stay in a hotel. What can I do?

...and I still fear that the day will come when my husband says we arw going there I dont want to upset anyone or hurt their feelings but mil is obviously a drunk and mentally unstable and their house a health hazard, I moved to the other side of the world when I met mt husband so I have no family here and its so hard. On top of all this my husbands family are all rude to me and ignores everything I sa. i feel invisible and very alone in this!!!posted 05/06/2015 by annapetz
Well...imagine my shock and horrot when the family around the table burst out laghing when my MIL grabbed my breasts and sqeezed them! This haunts me forever. On our way home I tried to talk to husband about his mothers mental state but he got furious and defensive and said that Im the crazy one! His mother is a normal mediterranean mama and is just being loving.....I was very clise to leave him at that moment. Well years later, and many more visits to the unsanitary home filled with human and animal feaces and urine and cockroaches and filth and mold everywhere - I did leave him, but silly me came back and then got pregnant...after my daughter was born we visited once, the housecwas filled with cigarette smoke and I was given biscuits with mold on them, I took my baby and went out and sat in the car. That was it, I would not risk my daughters health for anything!!!! My husband and the family were so surprised... duh! I have refuswd to go to that house ever since, it is unspoken aboutposted 05/06/2015 by annapetz
My MIL and FIL are absolutely filthy people and their unsanitary habits have caused me unbelievable grief for 19 years now. My husband thinks there is nothing wrong with what they do and gets very angrt and defensive when I try to point out that it is not normal to cut up raw chicken, not clean hands afterwards and then grab cooked food with hands and put it on plates! But he would not do the same of course (or I would not have married him obviously).... My MIL is ab alcoholic and has mental issues, but the family denies this! She sits at the table when we eat and stares vacantly into the air and then suddenly screams that she wants beer! Total madness! FIL gets agitated and screams back ar her, at which she answers with the sh..t and f..ck words. OMG. I was in a state of shock for years over the every second weekend we would visit their house before my daughter was born! My MIL would always get drunk and she would reach out and grab my breasts and sqeeze them!! I was too shocked to saposted 05/06/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
Although your MIL may not see it this way, this is 100% a safety issue. Hoarders are similar to addicts; expect a tantrum from MIL, but do not take it personally and stand your ground. Explain the situation to your pediatrician and have your husband hear from a third party that it is unwise to have your child play/visit in that environment. Unfortunately, my in-laws are also hoarders. In 5 years of marriage, I have never been inside their home. Only certain people are permitted inside. I understand my MIL is probably embarrassed, but there is no chance that my child will be permitted there unless I can see it first. Did I mention that my husband's schizophrenic aunt lives there too? Never met her, but I understand that her disease is not well-controlled. It's funny, they will likely see me as the barrier to their grandchildren, not the junk or mentally-ill aunt :o(posted 06/29/2014 by MeiMei2014
I completely understand what you're talking about, my issue is with my own mother who threatens to not speak to me if I try to talk to her about her house. She says she likes it that way and to shut up and leave her alone. I don't believe you are wrong for staying at a hotel but the one thing you need to do is tell her about it. If it continues because everyone lets her do it then she will never change. The only way to change a situation is to confront it and the condition of someone's house is a testiment to how they treat their family and she needs to provide a sanitary place to house a family gathering. If she cannot provide that then she either needs to not have a family function or get a new house. I hope this helps.posted 08/20/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
my mother and father live in a tiny single wide trailer. Furniture is stacked on itself, and trinkets are all about. There is no floor room, and the carpet is possibly 30-40 years old. The neighbors dogs constantly get, murder my parents cats by ripping them into pieces, and attack other dog and chase humans. My mom also smokes, Despite my mom being hurt, and she was at first for a long time, i didnt cave in. Her home is no place for a baby. It is a hazard waiting to happen. She finally came to terms with it, and realized until she has a safer home, our kids won't be there. There was no arguing, just laying out of the facts. And it hurts her to know she doesn't have a home she can host with, but that's the price of living there. We all have things we want to do, but sometimes we need to make changes to do them.posted 11/11/2012 by Megan151
when i saw this i nearly died of laughter i thought i was the only one going through this. This is excatly my mother and laws house 4 cats and one dog. the walls are covered in grease from cooking which she refuses to clean, if though when i ask if there mold all over shower im told no there isnt, but im not a idiot.. sometimes the washrooms are not even cleaned for weeks and there are multiple people living there! im am not a b**** and im not ocd but cmon i wont be leaving my newborn there probably everposted 12/05/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I think your husband should stick up for you and his new baby.posted 10/02/2011 by TwoGirlsMommie
I have the same problem with my own mother. We live in another state and luckily the problem only arises on our occasional visits. Before my daughter was even born I informed my mother that we would not be bringing the baby to the house because it was not a good environment for her. I have stuck with this even as my daughter approaches her first birthday and another child is on the way. We stay with other family members and friends and my mother just has to make due with the time she has with her granddaughter. She has now cleaned one room in her home but it is still not enough and she will have to do more before I will budge on my children's health.posted 03/30/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
You should just come out and tell her why you don't come over. I love my MIL, but if there's something that I don't approve of or something that I think should be thought of, I tell her. That may be why we are so close. She also has some hoarding tendencies, but she makes sure the areas that may be unsafe to the kids are closed off.posted 03/19/2010 by PRETTYSKITTLE

The Individual Mandate: How Sweeping?
The so-called "individual mandate" – the provision under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires most individuals to carry a minimum level of insurance coverage and is now being considered by the Supreme Court – has emerged as the least popular element of the reform law and the prime target for…Perspective Read More

Molly deflated and died
I had a female silver molly that I called a bad word, cause she was a fin nipper... rather nipped the fins of one specific female platy. Anyhow I found her this afternoon and she looked completely deflated and appeared to have fin lock. I segregated her to the one gallon tank for "observation." about two hours later she died.
I checked my parameters. PH 6.5, GH 180, KH 0, NO2 1, NO3 40, AMMO <.25, Temp 74, 55 Gallon 3 week old tank, 3 emerald cats, 3 molly, 3 guppy, 5 platy, 6 fry, gravel bottom, lightly planted, last water change 40% 3 days ago.
All the other fish are as active and colorful as they have been. It is worth mentioning that her fin nipping behavior towards the female micky platy started a week ago. They both appeared gravid and I figured it was a female territory thing. The platy would nip back then swim away. In the past week I've segregated 6 fry of undistinguishable origin as none of my females looked any less fat. They are not even a half inch and have no significant markings. Just translucent fish with big eyes.
Anyhow, yesterday she was the biggest fish in the tank at 2.5 inches and looked about ready to birth. I could see the babies, but no clear view of eyes through her skin. This afternoon she looked completely deflated and her belly was concaved. She was drifting along the bottom but not moving her fins or tail. There are no signs of the fry (if there were any), and as I said, everyone else looks fine.
Ideas? Maybe this was her first batch and the labor did her in? What else could deflate her? Is there something I could have done, that would be worth knowing if I see this again?
Hi, 6.5 PH is a bit low for livebearers, they like their water pretty hard, but I doubt this caused it. Not sure what causes this to happen, as I've only seen it at the pet stores, but it is possible she died giving birth. I can't help much with this, but maybe someone else can.
I also wanted to say, if you can get a decent picture of the fry, we can distinguish if they are mollies or platies.

Right now I can only swing top shots. The fry tank isn't ready yet. They're currently in a breeder net box thingy. My guess is five blue platy and an sunset platy. I think they'll be ready to transfer over tomorrow. I've been running the other tank for a couple days now.
** This is standard gravel not the larger stuff. These guys are SMALL.
Well, I guess I can't tell haha. Well, I think a side shot would help. I can always tell which fry is which and I have balloon mollies, platies, and guppies.
But since it looks so small, I'm going to guess platy. My molly fry are always bigger than my platy fry. But then again the eyes kind of remind me of a molly.
Guess I'm not as good at telling the difference as I thought. Maybe someone else will know. If you can get a side shot I can probably give a sure answer. ^_^ But others may be able to tell form the top shot.

NOW she hates having her head rinsed?!?
Deanna, Happy mommy to Madeline Rose, Due 6/28, born�7/8/09
Proud co-owner of Kingoberry Frozen Yogurt!
Sorry I have nothing better to offer lol I would just tell my boy to suck it up and that he has to have his hair washed. Lol. I'm a mean momma.
I would just remind her that she has to get her hair washed, it's part of being a healthy big girl. Hopefully it's just a phase.
How about having her lean back into the tub of water, submerging her hair and you running your fingers thru her hair to get it rinsed... maybe that would work??
It's a girl!! Born June 2, 2009
2010 Golden Boob Award Winner! ( . ) ( . )
We do "head back, eyes closed" and have a towel handy for hair rinsing, in case any water splashes into eyes. It always works for us!

New baby Coraline Vivian EDD 2/10/15! Arrived on her own time on 1/16/15!
I would try a "lil Rinser" it's a plastic visor that goes over their face and ears and keeps water from running down, They're about $12 at Bed, Bath and Beyond
DS Jan. 07, Twin Boys Jun 09, and DD April 2012
DS did this a week or so ago, it I figured out it was because his ear was hurting! He didn't want me to get water anywhere near his ears. But he's weird about getting things in his face (probably gets it from me lol) So as soon as I wash his hair, he has to wipe his face off with a towel to get the water off before we can continue.
I also use this to help too. The front piece is rubber so it bends over their head, and they can tilt their head back and it gets almost no water into their face. TOTALLY worth it.
Mom to Kaden - 6-25-09 and Ross - 9-20-12; Wife to Donnie - 08-13-11
Klair does the rinsing herself. I soap her up and she lays back in a shallow water tub and swooshes her hair around. She does pretty well for a 3.5yo. Maybe try that? Good Luck.

Skip to comments.CBS Radio News "Now at least Federal authorities might be able to punish the filmmaker"... "
Posted on 09/28/2012 10:14:41 AM PDT by Tirian
Short CBS newscast at noon (ET) Friday on the filmmaker taken into custody on probation violations. I was taken aback by Raviv say, and I checked the broadcast posted at the URL to make sure I had heard right.
Asterisks indicate spoken emphasis in the broadcast:
ANCHOR (Steve Kathan) "The man behind the anti-Islam video that sparked outrage in the Muslim world is still in jail in Los Angeles for a probation violation.
RAVIV "I'm Dan Raviv in Washington. The short movie posted on YouTube has had a lot of diplomatic impact. It was *clearly* designed to insult the Prophet Mohammed, and a senior Obama administration official told CBS News last week that no one in the Middle East seems to believe that the US government could not stop the film from getting out. Now at least Federal authorities might be able to *punish* the filmmaker."
ANCHOR The Dow is down 69. This is CBS News."
OK, this was only a short newscast, but it seemed dance very close to blurring the line between punishment for probation violation and for the film.
The Obama Administration and DOJ have made him a target
for the rest of his life for their State religion.
What would the founding fathers do....
This is an effort to silence speach, if I was the judge, I would hold all of these federal officers and prosecutors in contempt of court.
The courts aren't supposed to be a tool of suppression of human rights.
Yeah, punish him for using the internet!! Cut off his head!! They'll be punishing all of us soon for the same thing.
Hence my tagline...
It was a judge who ordered him not to use the internet for a specific period of time. How that judge had the right to do that is beyond me.
Arrested for Blasphemy. Who da thunk it?
They are going to throw the book at the guy
Any way to look up CBS coverage of Last Temptation of the Christ?
The Internet is a way to speak now a days, this would be the same as the judge ordering him not to write letters.
If he was using the internet to carry out fraud?
And this movie may have been one more fraud - it can't have cost as much as some reports say.
Oh noes, what about the chil'run?
FAUX News said yesterday he has ties to a cousin with a terror group out of Egypt, hmmm!!!
Dan Raviv's report, "clearly designed" to chill free speech.
Americans can forget about the alphabet soup networks. The networks work for the radical islamists. btw ... there are no moderate islamists. Paid well (I hear) for their lies and anti-American activities and work for the enemies of America.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Dershowitz to defend this guy and made this a public trial..
this is a 1st amendment issue, and how exactly did that 1st judge state he couldn't use the internet ?
no email?....
I don't get that...that is akin to stating, no TV while on probation..
Full on nazi publications and programs are published in the USA. With rants against blacks and Jews. This is LEGAL in the United States. So is this anti-muslim movie. So was Bill Maher's anti religion screed. And half the films in Hollywood that trash Christianity.
We can't stop freedom of speech only against Obama's protected class.
What happened to "...but I defend to the death his right to say it"?
What has happened to our free republic?
How obama, the courts and the government do a lot of things is beyond ALL of us.
If they can order you not to use the internet, they can order you not to use the phone, listen to the radio, watch T.V. or speak at all. Most people you tell this to will say "Oh, they won't go that far."
That is actually a fairly common condition of probation. The thing to remember about conditions of probation is that the alternative is jail.
FAUX News said yesterday he has ties to a cousin with a terror group out of Egypt, hmmm!!!
So does freakin' Hillary.
Holy Hussein Head, Batman....
That's enough to get any left wing freak whacko mad enough to go out and get MORE VOTES FOR OBAMA!
Actually they want to go further, much further. zer0, hilery, the communists, and the islamists have made a deal. The media is being paid well to lie to Americans. Best be prepared, and dagnabit, I wish I was wrong.
Sharia Law does not recognize the First Amendment.
It is a Federal Blasphemy arrest. I don't expect it to happen but would notbe terribly surprised if the kenyan extradites the fellow to Egypt if he can get Morsi to demand it.
Judges have wide latitude to impose whatever they wish as parole terms. The person can refuse and do jail time. But if they accept probabtion then they accept the terms. I suppose a judge could order him to stand on his head in public every day and recite apologies if he wished.
They guy is screwed if he violated parole terms. Normally nothing would happen but now the feds are after him and will find a way to screw him over, e.g. Jaywalking, whatever it takes
Scapegoat Number One
Watch for Obama to have a few more blown up by a drone in Libya around the middle of October.
He will be America's Hero, spiking the football again all the way to November 6.
I'm starting to wonder if perhaps the entire Libya and Egyptian 9/11 embassy attacks aren't an orchestrated set up.
A September Surprise.
That's some scary Shiite.
If you are on probation--that is, if you have been convicted of a crime--the court can order you to do a lot of things in lieu of imprisoning you.
Producer Of Anti-Islam Film Was Fed Snitch
L.A. man began cooperating after 2009 fraud bust
Interesting that Nakoula's websites track back to connections with 0bama.
Proof Positive - In My Opinion (who created Innocence of Muslims)(Obama)
Interesting that Nakoula's partner in the film was a palestinian Muslim with terrorist connections who was also watched by the Feds for three decades but never arrested and frequently bailed out by the Feds.
Why is the Coptic Christian filmmaker partners in crime with Coptic Christian hater?
Nikoula and Eiad may have made the film.
Someone else has been handling distribution and promotions.
Obama issues a Federal Fatwa!
Conspiracy thinking or not, I feel this whole thing was an inside WH job gone bad.
Zero need to keep the "I Killed Osama" going, but it lost traction. When I heard the terrorist say "We are All Osama's", something began to smell OBAMA.
Zero's October Surpise would be to go in and arrest all those OSAMA's, send in the FBI, be the HERO. lol.
I think the whole thing was ELECTION motivated, and will hopefully get him impeached, and destroy hillery for good.
He can't be punished for making a movie. But he can lose probation and be incarcerated for the previous crime.
Ping to comment #26.
This is what I was telling you!
Well, since I have no intention of EVER paying the tax penalty for not buying their unaffordably expensive new health insurance (my affordable catastrophic insurance will be outlawed), I fully expect to be jailed for tax evasion in a few years. Sneak a hacksaw or file in to me when you visit the jail. Thanks.
Yeah, but they rarely find anyone in violation of probation since the jails are usually overcrowded already, and Parole Officers don't want to be bothered with the paperwork. They violated him specifically because of the film. It had nothing to do with the fact that he accessed the internet against the order of the court. I'd like to know how long he'd actually been accessing the internet prior to the time the White House blamed the movie for the attacks.
Look at it this way, you'll be in a Federal joint, and you can hang with the rest of us tax evaders.
I should have specified that they rarely find anyone in violation of probation for committing a minor offense like using the internet, even if it is part of his probation. Had he been using the internet to commit the same defrauding activities that got him the original charges, now that's a different story.
He usually only works on Appeals.
You're exactly right (though people don't often commit minor probation violations in such a public way). Of course this is selective enforcement of the probation violation. My point is simply that the probation condition itself is hardly unusual.
We've become a fascist police state.
"Journalists" in favor of gov't censorship? Who knew?
The severity of this coordinated Leftwing attack against the 1st Amendment cannot be understated. This effort is tantamount to restricting the air we breathe.

"Crucially, the outcome of being digitally fluent relates to issues of responsibility, equity and access. We all have the right to fully participate in a digitally-enabled education system and in an increasingly digitised society. If we work with fluency in the way we use technologies, we are able to keep ourselves safe online and take full advantage of life chance opportunities such as being able to apply for work, manage our finances, or be part of our local community).
"In the years ahead, digital fluency will become a prerequisite for obtaining jobs, participating meaningfully in society, and learning throughout a lifetime. (Resnick, 2002, p. 33) [via White, 2013]"
As more services — health, civil, safety, even voting — move online, it has never been more important to ensure citizens are not disenfranchised from accessing services that are central to the well-being of all."
What is 21st century literacy and how do we help students become better communicators?
Rebecca Alber says:
"In today's world, being literate requires much, much more than the traditional literacy of yesterday. According to the NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English), twenty-first century readers and writers need to:
Gain proficiency with tools of technology
Develop relationships with others and confront and solve problems collaboratively and cross-culturally
Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes
Manage, analyze, and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information
Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multimedia texts
Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments"
The Facebook family safety center has information on safety. I still feel it is very convoluted and very confusing but it does have some information for educators and parents on the site.
For those comparing the FTC's stand against Facebook with Google Buzz, here is the Forbes article on the April 2011 Google Buzz settlement. We will have our Digiteen students looking at this material as they discuss privacy.
This person uses Google forms to collect sensitive student application data and didn't realize when she checked "share responses" that it would mean that the students could see what the other student's said. If you are a teacher using Google forms in the classroom, realize that you never check the box that says share answers when creating the form. What you do is share the spreadsheet behind the form to those who want to see the data.
If you're going to use Google Docs, make sure you train your staff or this could be you. Also teach your students who are using forms as well.
Some nice resources on creating a safe social network page. A document and an Interactive Whiteboard powerpoint file to use.
Common sense media has just released a new report "Zero to 8: Children's media use in America." Our students on Digiteen are reviewing this report for their research, maybe you should take a look too.
How to use your ipad and iphone screen to help you be more successful.
This would be good information to use as you talk to students about digital citizenship. From the US Federal Trade commission this vdieo and website talks about "free trial offers" and what you are giving up when you sign up for them.
" * Rule 1: Remember the Human
* Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life
* Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace
* Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth
* Rule 5: Make yourself look good online
* Rule 6: Share expert knowledge
* Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control
* Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy
* Rule 9: Don't abuse your power
* Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes"
This is such a great conversation about digital citizenship with Terry Freedman on the Ning and 158 commenters (mostly students.) Great reading.
This page shows that things bookmarked digital_literacy through the group automatically go to the students in the project. The teachers (who all use diigo) just tag throughout the year to have things ready to go into the wiki when it is time for the project.
This is a great example of checking your facts. I teach students to always always confirm things they read on wikipedia with another credible source. Looks like newspapers are even less credible than we thought as some reporters need to learn to check their sources! Great article for digital citizenship discussions.
"The moral of this story is not that journalists should avoid Wikipedia, but that they shouldn't use information they find there if it can't be traced back to a reliable primary source," said the Guardian's readers' editor Siobhain Butterworth.
40 literacy blogs aggregated on one pageflake. This is a great example of the building of customized PLN's to help others understand the purpose of a PLN. If you're a librarian or working with literacy -- why not set this to be your start page - even for just a few days to see what happens. Or, even better - use your favorite rss reader and construct your own Personal learning network using many of these blogs.
Lisa thuman blogged about the recent changes to the Children Internet Protection Act (CIPA) -- to those people who have rejected social networking and chats -- you're required to "educate minors on appropriate online safety including cyberbulling and interacting with others on social networking sites and in chat rooms."
How are you going to do this without using safe alternatives and then coach them on it? This is REQUIRED in the US if you get erate funds.
Get out there and get busy -- time for pushback. Lisa Thuman's article on this is an excellent read.
I highly recommend that elementary and middle schools at least sign up for a school code for woogi world - this is a great tool suggested by Hoover City schools for teaching digital citizenship. My daughter (my intrepid tester of all kid virtual worlds) loves it and says she thinks it is great for kids.
the 31 day comment challenge is a program to promote effective, meaningful comments run by several amazing edubloggers -- this is an example of something that those interested in facilitating effective communications should discuss and participate in.
Kevin Jarrett talks about his week at one of the leaders in innovative technology, suffern Middle School. An excellent read to see what this digital revolution is all about. Wow!
Incredible wiki page about online surveys and forms. I highly recommend that we begin to have our students conduct surveys as part of authentic research. This is an excellent page about this topic. (The rest of the wiki is nice as well.)
Kristin Hokanson's excellent wiki with many Web 2.0 resources. Excellent site!

Skip to main content
I really want to have sex. But, my boyfriend isn't ready and he said I could have sex with my ex who left me because I wasn't ready. I need to know if i should or not?
My friend got Chlamydia and got treated for it. Then about two months later it came back again. Do you think the medication didn't work or do you think he cheated on his girlfriend?
How often do parents have sex?
I'm 18 years old and I recently just lost my virginity. It wasn't very painful at all as I had heard it might be, in fact the pain I felt was very minor and more so irritating to my vagina than anything. The thing that I was worried about though however, is the fact that after he entered, I felt nothing. At first I thought that maybe it was because he doesn't seem really big in size, but after reading up on it, I guess he's pretty average. And although I felt nothing, he did. So I don't have a clue why this is so. Also, I've never really found pleasure in fingering either when he does or when I do it myself because I don't get a sensation from it. Could this be related? I just want to know if you any information that might be useful to me. Thanks.
I've been confused about my sexual attraction to a guy I've liked for the past 2 years. He has always made it clear that he only wants sex from me, but he has no romantic feelings for me, and I've always been confused about how far I've wanted to go with something so unstable. Recently we started our first year at the same college, and I guess with the new freedom and everything I decided that I would try to have sex with him. In that attempt, I just couldn't allow myself to do that, cuz when it started to hurt more and I started thinking about did I want to permanently lose something that I can't have back. But now after the situation I feel like I regret that decision and I want to try again, because I can't stop thinking about it. How can I let him know that? And am I wrong for wanting to have sex with someone who clearly only wants me for sex? And is it bad that I felt uncomfortable discussing what I want to do with him? I've looked around your site, and I see that it doesn't have much information about friends with benefits? Is that because it's condemned?
Ok, me and my girlfriend just now started to have sex and it's like still hurting her after like the 3rd time we couldn't really do it too long that time because it hurt her. And I'm worried if I'm not doing something right because I don't want to hurt her I want it to be enjoyable for her. What Do I Do!
My boyfriend is respectful of my wishes not to engage in pre-marital sex, but lately, he has been teasing me with his penis and sometimes applying pressure "down there." Then I always make sure he doesn't push any further, but a few times he has pushed a little bit into my labia. But lately, I have been wondering I have lost my virginity...have I?
I have been with my girlfriend for 2 months and I want to do a little more then just kiss. How can I tell her that without her thinking I'm taking advantage of her or her thinking that's all I want?
The truth is: I am scared. But also anxious, excited, curious. My boyfriend and I have an attraction unlike any I've ever known. He always tells me to let him know if I want to stop, and then he will stop. I want to be intimate with him, and I've definitely thought about it, but it could always be too much too soon. I feel we may engage in sex soon. I don't really know how to do anything, though. I think I'm ready for it, but we're both still young, in high school. I'm afraid for what will happen, for what I am or am not capable of. I want to make him happy, but not always at the cost of myself. I cannot get pregnant; this is my forefront concern. Sex has always been displayed as something funny by my friends, and dangerous by my elders. To me, it's more a... beautiful thing? I'm not sure. With my less than adequate experience, I honestly don't know. I know that I love him; is that enough?
I was wondering exactly what "blue-balls" meant for guys. My boyfriend mentioned it recently when he was complaining that I didn't go all the way when we were messing around. (I was touching him inside of his pants, but didn't give him a full-out hand job or oral, so he didn't "get off.") Although I understand the basic concept of painful internal pressure building up because of no outlet, what I was wondering was just how much of a problem this is: is it very likely to happen to him or not? There wouldn't be any more than an hour between arousal and an opportunity for him to jack off, and, to me, it doesn't seem like it would be much of an issue since he does so regularly, which, as for my understanding of the matter, would keep the pressure relatively low. I know it didn't happen to him that day, because I asked him a couple of days later, but now it's sort-of in the back of my mind when we're hanging out. Now I'm nervous about getting him turned on, because I feel pressured to do more than that. Its not like I have problems with giving him a hand/blow job, but I don't always want to, for various reasons, and now I feel awkward about doing anything at all if I'm not in the mood for doing something that would get him off. Thank you for your help!
