8 Comments About Parenting That Drive Me Nuts!Danielle
We all have those phrases and words that people say to and about us that kind of set us off right… well at least I know I do! Secretly I think all moms have them we just don't typically openly admit it!
Since my daughter was conceived I feel like I have been wearing a giant sign that says "Please give me your most offensive comment about the number of children I have", I think sometimes people just don't have a filter.
After a couple of my favorite phrases reared their ugly head this week nearly pushing me right over my polite in public edge — I thought I would share… of course this is where you guys should share the comments that drive you nuts too!
We can all bask in our comment misery together right?
Yay for rude comments!
The best way to handle them all is ot either ignore or zing them right back…right?
Oh! You must have your hands full! 1 of 8Of course my hands are full, I have three children all ages four and under...
Thanks for reminding me, because seriously I almost forgot!
Insert eye roll here!
Yeah, I have a lot of kids but I wouldn't change my life for anything!
Was she Planned? 2 of 8Um... what the hell kind of question is that?
What if I tell you she wasn't planned? Does that really change the fact that she exists?
No, she wasn't planned, but I love her just as much as if she was!
You are done… right? 3 of 8Magically my family size is up for debate!
If I wanted public opinion I certainly would ask for it, wouldn't you?
Maybe I will just become the next Michelle Duggar to chap some asses!
Oh they are REALLY close together! 4 of 8Yup... for damn near three years of my life I was pregnant and believe it or not I remember it!
I can only hope they will be just as close growing up with their friendships.
Growing up I wish I had a sibling close in age!
Is it stressful? You bet your ass it is! But it is worth every moment!
She must be sleeping through the night! 5 of 8Nope... not even close!
I wish she did, but she is still up say... a half dozen times a night.
She is adorable when she nurses back to sleep... I guess one day I will have a full night sleep again.
Till then I am slightly on edge... YA HEARD?
It is about time she stops breast feeding! 6 of 8Um... it is about time you start minding your own tits huh?
She is ONLY 10 months old... if she had a bottle it wouldn't be an issue right?
She can wean when she is ready!
Oh she is ONLY crawling? 7 of 8I hate these comparing comments!
Yes, she is only crawling, she is also only 10 months old.
I am sure your 10 month old spoke four languages and juggled dogs right?
Oh you are her MOM? Not the Nanny? 8 of 8I wish I can say I haven't heard this more than a couple times when I have been out with my kids.
I know I am young but am I really that young looking?
Or maybe my kids just don't look like me at all?

A college education is one of life's most costly investments. Graduation season is a good time to update a past column discussing what you should do after you've earned your diploma to protect and enhance the return on your investment.
Bryan Burkhart is a founder of H. Bloom, an innovative subscription floral service. Seventeen years ago, he was a freshly minted graduate of Wharton, one of the top business programs in the world.
In his column, "A 'Not-to-Do' List for Recent College Graduates," he mused about a commencement speech he might give.
"I have good news and bad news. First, the bad news: Despite your newly obtained degree, you don't know anything. You have no skills. If you are really lucky, you will soon land your first job. You are not entitled to that job. If you get it, you should be grateful for your good fortune and make the most of it.
"It will be hard work, sometimes backbreaking work, and you may feel that the work is beneath you. But the reality is that nothing is beneath you, because you don't know anything — yet.
"Now, the good news: You live in the United States of America, the greatest country in the world. If you work really, really hard, if you are happy to start at the bottom and work your way up, if you are ready to grind and scratch and claw, and if you catch a bit of luck, anything is possible."
When he started his first job at software vendor Trilogy, he knew it all and was ready to conquer the world. In retrospect, he was "terribly naïve" and "totally whiffed" on his golden opportunity.
Here's what he wished he knew then:
"I knew nothing." In spite of graduating from a top school, there is a "vast difference between studying business and doing business."
"I didn't know that I didn't know anything." This is actually worse than not knowing anything.
"I missed the opportunity to learn." Trilogy had a number of extraordinary folks who went on to accomplish amazing things. Because he believed he already knew everything, he missed the chance to learn from them.
"I thought I was entitled to something." Since it was Trilogy's good fortune to have him, he was entitled to be a strategic thinker and leave the daily blocking and tackling to others.
"I was confused about the meaning of hard work." If he was in the office and thinking big thoughts, he must have been working hard. In reality, he should have been doing the heavy lifting of calling potential customers, learning about their problems and presenting Trilogy's solutions.
My friends Mark, John and Mike Elwood run Elwood Staffing, a $1 billion revenue business headquartered in Columbus. We'd add:
Work is not an extension of college. Your degree/academic pedigree may get you in the door, but your GSD (Get Stuff Done) will be the key to your success.
Be low maintenance.
If you're not 10 minutes early, you're late.
Casual is great, but if you want to be taken seriously, dress and act professionally.
Make your boss look good and focus on how you can generate more value than you receive in compensation.
Good luck as you embark upon your career!
Mickey Kim is the chief operating officer and chief compliance officer for Columbus-based investment adviser Kirr Marbach & Co. He can be reached at 376-9444 or email@example.com.

My daughter is not eating at allposted 02/07/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
My 12 MO son stopped eating altogether and started crying each time i put him in the high chair. My sister (being a paed) said that she had heard about an online nutritionist that is a genius with feeding kids. And i must say it was the best investment i ever made towards my child's health. The company is called Little Fusspot, and i think they are aussie based. Beth was my coach, she analysed everything Cain was eating, changed his diet, put him on a strict routine and within 3 days (possibly even less) things were dramatically different. The sensory chart was the best part, we slowly moved food from a danger food (makes him scared) up to a safe food (eats without hassle), his diet used to consist of toast and some fruits and how he eats everything. Its tough at first but once you start seeing results it makes the effort worthwhile. They don't deal with kids over 3 because she said habits are formed and experiences are shaped so i'm glad i didn't just let him 'grow out of it'posted 01/21/2015 by lunajye
I have been dealing with the same issue since I took my son off of formula. He is now 2 1/2 years old and I cant get him to eat what I call normal food, he does eat but its things I feel that are not healthy like animal crackers, French fries, chips or things of that nature. I have spoken with his pedi and she tells me that as long as he is getting some kind of food in his body then he should be find, because he is growing he way he should and his gaining the right amount of weight. I guess as mothers its our instinct to worry.....I will continue to read everyones post to see if I can use some of the great ideas....posted 01/16/2015 by liloneangel07
My daughter is 2 years old and she don't eat basically nothing but milk and juice...what can i do?posted 01/01/2015 by g_christopher01
My daughter is 2 and a half and she's been doing this also. She doesn't want to eat anything but berries and otherwise just asks for milk or juice all the time. Any meals I cook, I'm lucky if she'll take one or two bites, most of the time she just refuses. I sometimes feel concerned that she needs more nutrition but at the same time I don't think she's in any real danger so far. I don't make her special dinners, I just give her small portions and if she doesn't want it, I might end up throwing it away or trying to save it for later. I think it's pretty normal. I also give her those gummy flintstones vitamins, which at least she likes, so she's getting a little bit of something, lol.posted 12/29/2014 by kokobee
Ditto! 22 months old, used to be a great eater anything and everything... Loved sitting in his high chair eating and watching TV. Now he immediately wants to get down has no interest in whats in front of him and I'm thinking it might be the 2 year molar thing, obviously we all get paranoid when things are off the norm, but now I just take him to the fridge and he'll look around and sometimes pick something out (mostly milk and juice) but I've settled for a little more junk than unusal just to get the calories and hoping he'll balance back out! I'm THRILLED that I'm not the only one!posted 12/20/2012 by tstwistedchr
I have learned that u just can't worry there not goung to let there self starve don't try to force them lay snacks around the house and offer them meals let them no hey its there give them milk and yogurt and all and healthy juice only but only after a meal they grow out it thank god just got to hang in and keep doing what ur doingposted 09/27/2014 by timgabe0504
My child was younger but she like the squeezy fruits. Some come with veggies or yogurt. Probably no help but good kyckposted 09/26/2014 by Julesdad507
If the kid won't eat, too bad. They won't starve. Keep them hydrated with water or 50/50 milk/water instead. They'll get hungry enough and they'll eat. You are boss. Not them.posted 08/31/2014 by stoddard06
my 16 month old gets picky as well i struggle to get protein and veggies in her diet she loves fruit so i was making me a protein/ spinich smoothy and she loves it and knows none the wiser she is eating vegetables as long as i eat it she wants to try it tooposted 07/24/2014 by sammydmom13

She was a brave woman who faced the Moby Dick of poops, and lost. - Ashley's Closet
partyline - NO
I'd smell it ...
EDIT: DH still needs to make it up to you, either he gets night duty or you get a full body massage - oh wait, those are my dreams ...
Smell it..but it's probably bad. If it smells good now, then make sure oyu smell it again before using it. Try it too yourself. I always advocate tasting your own fresh expressed milk and then you will know if milk is bad later or not.
I once forgot to put 2 bottles of pumped milk in the fridge after work, one was left at room temp the whole time and had never been refridgerated, the other had spent some time refridgerated before I left work....the one that spend a little time in the cooler at work was bad and stinky..the other was fine.
Go easy on DH, mistakes happen. You will probably spill milk, forget milk and stuff like that too. :)
Mr&Mrs 5/2007
Tatebk- that is not for previously refridgerated milk. The 6 hours is for milk pumped and left at room temp
Mr&Mrs 5/2007
Bummer. :(
Try to look at it this way - yes, that milk didn't end up in your baby, but it wasn't wasted. It was milk removed from your breast, which tells your body to make more milk, so the net result is that you'll have more milk in the long run.

Treating customers like family and making sure they received the best deal out there on the products he sold.

Hello all, I was wondering if I could get your opinions?
I enjoy walking as well as biking. In the winter I don't bike because the weather here is terrible, but I spent many hours walking. I was wondering about the effect of ankle weights, and wearing them throughout the day. I have weight to loose and am thinking any way I can burn calories by going about my daily routine I will invest in.
I also like to jog on the treadmill but sometimes I really feel it in my knees when I go up and down stairs. I was thinking that leg weights would be a good idea because they are below my knees and therefore there is less weight coming down on them. Do you people think that this makes sense?
I spend allot of time walking around with about an estimated 30 to 40 pounds on my back most days, but that is only to and from, as well as at school. This kinda bothers my knees a bit so when I go for walks I do not consider this feasible because I am trying to save my knees. That is why I thought ankle weights would be a good idea instead of weight on my back. Mind you my ankle weights wont be 20 Lbs apiece but I figure any bit helps, and I would also hope that since they are below my knees that they would not cause any fatigue on them.
What do you guys think?

It's official: the Nintendo Wii is no longer being sold to retailers in Japan. The end is nigh for the little white box that could.
Of course, this isn't the first console in history to be discontinued. In fact it goes without saying that every video game console ever made has been — or will be — discontinued at some point. But Nintendo is Nintendo and as the worlds' media stands by awaiting their seemingly inevitable end, have you ever wondered if news of discontinued consoles is being reported fairly?
I have, and considering the world has waved goodbye to two huge consoles this year — Wii and PlayStation 2 — I thought it would be interesting to put the reports to the test.
PlayStation 2 is probably the worlds' most enduring home console, enjoying a 13 year stint in retail stores before it was put to bed in January 2013. We can now compare directly how the media reported the news of the PlayStation 2's discontinuation with Wii's. Both systems have sold over 100 million units since their release. PlayStation 2's seven year advantage has graced it with 50 million extra unit sales. In fact, if you divide the console sales by how many years they've been available for, Wii has outsold PlayStation 2, one could argue.
Surely, the reporting of the discontinuation is as even handed as the consoles' marketplace performance, right?
That'll do, Pig.
The first report that shows up in Google is Joystiq's account of the PlayStation 2 discontinuation, reported on January 7 2013. Here's what they said about PlayStation 2:
Sony boasts total software sales for the console of over 1.5 billion, in addition to more than 150 million PS2s sold. Rivals Nintendo and Sega barely shifted more than 30 million units of the GameCube and Dreamcast put together. It's unlikely we'll see a console dominate its generation so resoundingly ever again. Out of respect for the countless hours of gaming goodness it provided us, we at Joystiq are tearfully doffing our hats in memory of that little black box. That'll do, pig. That'll do.
Ah, the smell of unbiased journalism. Oh wait, they're actually crying about it. Perhaps they sent off Wii with the same "doffing" of their hats?
There's still no indication that supply lines in North America or Europe have been altered, but we've reached out to Nintendo to find out precisely what the dealio, yo.
In any event, this means that there are now a finite number of Japanese Wii units in existence. We anticipate that the remaining new Wii units will undoubtedly be pitted against each other in a ruthless battle to the death – or a lot more people will be buying used Wiis, whatever.
As you can see, this particular publication shows indifference and probably understandably so. After their emotional farewell to PlayStation 2, it was probably inevitable that a second consoles' end wouldn't spark the same grief.
We recommend you buy… PlayStation 2
Engadget is next and they committed a cardinal sin in the world of jounalism: they recommended you run out and buy a PlayStation 2.
It's a sad thought, but let's remember the good times — the PS2's various iterations have been entertaining gamers for 12 years, and with over 150 million units purchased worldwide it's become the best selling console in history. We're not sure if the PS2 is still shipping to other regions, but its retirement in Japan is probably the beginning of the end globally, so we'd recommend you pick one up now if you intend to explore that extensive back catalogue one day. The PS2 era may be drawing to a close, but its legacy will live on and it can now rub controllers with the other greats in console heaven — we still miss you, Dreamcast.
A decidedly less emotional Engadget reported the Wii's discontinuation with less fanfare, suggesting that people go out and — heaven forbid — buy a Wii U if they can be bothered.
That was quick. Just a few weeks after it became clear that Nintendo would stop manufacturing the Wii for Japan, the company has quietly listed the console as "discontinued" (upper right) on its Japanese website. From now on, local gamers wanting a Wii fix will either have to pick up the backwards-compatible Wii U or hunt for leftover stock at retailers. It's not quite the end of an era when both the regular Wii and Wii Mini remain available in other countries; with that said, we wouldn't count on the last-generation system hanging around for much longer.
Thankfully there was somewhat less gushing and more information when it came to Wii but surely if you're going to come out and tell people to buy PlayStation 2 while they can, a similar recommendation from the publication for Wii should be in order, no?
Real Gamers
The Escapist Magazine took an escape from level headed reporting when it gushed over the PlayStation 2, a practise that is showing a trend.
Sadly, the beloved console's age is finally catching up to it…
It's difficult to understate the importance of the PlayStation 2 in its prime. Not only did Sony secure several important early exclusives (including Grant Theft Auto III and Metal Gear Solid 2), the system came with backwards compatibility for PS1 titles, ensuring it had a massive catalog available at release. Perhaps more importantly, the PS2 launched with full DVD playback support, making it a tempting option for non-gamers seeking to make the switch from VHS players. All told, the PS2 sold over 150 million units and encompasses a library of over 2000 games.
While the PS2 is still being produced for the rest of the world, that's unlikely to continue for much longer. The console still sells millions of units annually, but those figures are steadily dropping, especially with a new console generation on the horizon. On the bright side, the system isn't terribly priced these days, so anyone wanting a unit still has time to get one before they disappear for good. At that point, I imagine millions of players around the world will have a brief moment of silence for the many games that have come and gone.
PlayStation 2 is beloved, apparently. It must be — 150 million units over 13 years doesn't come lightly. But Wii has hit 100 million in just 7 years, surely it's still loved?
Just a few weeks after Nintendo announced that production of the Wii would "end soon," the axe has fallen – and the end has come not with a bang or even a whimper, but just a tiny little notice in the upper right corner of the Wii website.
The Wii had a good run, and although it may have never earned the respect of "real" gamers, it sold more than 100 million units after launching in 2006 and at one time struck fear into the hearts of both Sony and Microsoft. Give that its successor, the Wii U, hasn't managed to even approach that level of success and, with all due respect, probably never will, it really is the end of an era.
Ah, so not only did Wii fail to become a real console, Nintendo will never produce anything that will match its success. Sorry, Nintendo 3DS, you don't count apparently.
With all due respect, that is just a ridiculous thing to write especially when you consider the PlayStation 3 has only hit about 78 million worldwide sales.
What we can see here is that, in general, the PlayStation 2 is getting much better treatment in the media than the Wii. With Sony's console, the media has painted the discontinuation as an emotional turning point for the gaming society. With Nintendo's, the notion of taking Wii off shelves is something to be scoffed at: a largely irrelevant that no one is going to care about.
The truth, of course, is that in both cases we all still have our PlayStation 2 or Wii somewhere in our homes and in our lives. Some store their old consoles in the closet, others keep them powered up and operating for years on end while others still take to eBay at opportune moments to cash in on their horde.
Whatever the case, console discontinuations aren't new and the only sad thing about the process is how the media use it to spur on a baffling narrative that somehow Nintendo is ultimately doomed or that despite it being the only company on the planet that exclusively focuses on video game hardware and software, it's an irrelevant joke of a publisher that has no idea what it's doing.
While it will ultimately be an unpopular move to highlight the few of many publications that clearly display this behaviour, I do think it's important that the industry identifies where all the negativity comes from and why it's coming from those places and most scarily, how subtle is it. Crying about one console while slamming another is immature for these huge media corporations and should not be condoned. After all, we turn to these publications for news about the entire industry not to be sold a product. These are news outlets, not shopping malls.
It's probably fair to point out that the three examples listed above were chosen because they were the easiest to find: all examples had both a story about PlayStation 2 and Wii. Some of the others, such as IGN, had one but not the other. It's also clear that Wii's discontinuation has much more media coverage than PlayStation 2 did, and most of it is negative in the sense that most of the reports doubt Nintendo's ability to follow up Wii's success in the future, or point out Wii U's sales shortcomings.
None of any of the PlayStation 2 coverage I found had anything negative to say about Sony or the console itself.
How do you feel about the way video game news is presented in the larger sense? Is there room for improvement, or is there merit to subtle bias?

Nice! Its Free Wi-Fi! Oh Wait A Minute!
There are two words in the English language that are my absolute favourites, Free Wi-Fi! You can forget everything else, with a good wireless connection you can work, surf and stay in touch. Who needs anything else? Nevertheless, you still have to watch these marketing people; they will try anything to catch you out!

Build A Free Wi-Fi Network With Wefrii!
Becoming part of something big is not the sort of thing that is offered every day, but this is the vision of Thanasis Zografos and Lazaros Agapides! They have come up with Wefrii and the plan is to allow anyone the ability to create a free wireless broadband network.
Wefrii is run on mesh technology and a cloud controller, this means the network can be managed totally online using the Wefrii suite of services that are already built into the devices and control panel. The potential is clear for any business to provide free Wi-Fi and advertise the business too.
To build a network, you need to add Wefrii points at home, at work and anywhere else, the more points you have the bigger your network becomes and anyone accessing the free wireless will be greeted by a fully customisable landing page with information and advertising on show, which is cool feature on its own.
This is not something that everyone is going to jump on, but for those who can see the potential the Wefrii system is worth looking at further. To get involved with the Wefrii wireless network, you can back the project from just $256 or £160; in return, you will receive a single Wefrii point in Orange.

Keeping up to date with technology – four things you need to keep an eye on
So what about technology these days? It seems you can't go from one day to the next without something brand-new being released, leaving you and your out-dated equipment or software looking on like a mini-disc user browsing hopelessly in HMV.
Stop worrying now, as this guide will help you keep up to date with the latest in technology.
iPhones are still probably the most desirable of all the smartphones, especially since they have a new operating system due for release this Autumn, but there are plenty of others out there that might also interest you.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a whopping 13 Megapixels camera, 5 more MPs than the iPhone 5, so keep that in mind if you take lots of photos.
More of a music fan, you say? Well the HTC One packs HTC BoomSound; dual frontal stereo speakers with Beats Audio.
The Internet is a marvellous thing. On it you can talk to friends, do some banking, keep up to date with news, run a whole business and … look at funny cat videos.
With the Internet being such an integral part of our lives these days you need to make sure you have a package that fulfils all your web needs. BT Broadband has a number of packages and offers at great prices, find out more here.
So you've got yourself a great broadband package sorted, now let's see what laptops you can look at all those funny cat videos /carry out that important online banking on (delete as appropriate).
The Sony Fit 15 comes with Intel i5 processing power, 4GB of memory and a whopping 500GB hard drive. However, if you're a fan of Apple, or you simply want to move away from Windows then the MacBook Pro might be the one for you. It features a stunning Retina display with over 5 million pixels, the latest operating system (OS X Mountain Lion), dual-core Intel Core i5 processors and seven hours of battery life.
Tablets are great for when you're on the move, as you pretty much have your whole world in your palm. The iPad is perhaps the most widely known tablet available but the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 is also a fantastic piece of kit, boasting an impressive 16MP camera, powerful dual-core processors and Android 4.0 operating system.

The Cost Of Data Recovery In The Cloud
As more and more business and personal users turn to the cloud for their storage solutions, the issues of security and data recovery become a main topic of conversation. There are remote data protection, storage, backup and recovery services available and with the details on this useful infographic, The Future of Online Backup there is help available.
The infographic shows some important details on how the internet is expected to grow over the next few years and therefore is important for both business and personal cloud users to understand the implications of storing data online. As well as ensuring that there is a back plan in place should the worse happen. It could be time to consider just how much is your personal and business data worth to you?
According to the backup and recovery service provider Iron Mountain, any company seeking effective remote data protection and recovery needs;
Disaster recovery that is as fast and complete as possible
Management of the increasing cost and complexity of data growth
Compliance with regulations that demand uniform processes and accountability
There are plenty of cloud services available these days, but what happens if the provider goes out of business or suffers a catastrophic outage that could mean all or some of the data is lost? There is always the possibility of deletion through a cyber attack, without a back or recovery solution in place the damage could have serious implications. With so many backup and recovery solutions available, it is not going to hurt to check out what is on offer.

Classic Phone Boxes Painted TARDIS Blue In Leeds
As part of the Leeds Electronic Ordnance & Digital Information System (LEODIS) project twenty four classic red phone boxes have been refitted with the latest technology to provide a free Wi-Fi hotspot. These blue boxes are solar powered and although traditionally users were supposed to step inside the box, these boxes are closed with handy touch screens that allow passersby to access phone and information services.
According to the Doctor (the aql Doctor) CEO and Founder, Dr Adam Beaumont, he said in the press release;
We wanted to create an icon for Leeds – something unique which if you had your photo taken next to it and uploaded it, for example, to facebook, friends would say – aha ! you must be in Leeds! We're hoping that the boxes become something that the residents accept as part of the cityscape

Falcons Drub Center, 12-2
ANTELOPE - Colfax scored five times in its first at-bat here Thursday afternoon and never looked back on its way to a 12-2 Pioneer Valley League baseball win over Center.
The Falcons, now 6-3 overall and 3-0 in PVL contests, used Michael Wilson's two-run double as the key rap in the first inning outburst. Wilson had a 2x3 afternoon at the plate and drove in three runs.
Also having a hand on offense in the romp for the Falcons were Devon Loomis (2x3, RBI) and Dave Campbell, R.J. Hurley, Chas Reisinger and Ryan Glazner, all with one hit apiece.
Colfax junior Wes Woodward went the distance in the five-inning run-rule shortened game for the mound win.
The Falcons are slated to host Bear River Friday in a 4 p.m. PVL game. Colfax then opens play in the River City Tournament on Monday in West Sacramento.

Bihar suspends tainted IAS officerJune 30th, 2011 - 4:30 pm ICT by IANS
Patna, June 30 (IANS) An Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, K. Senthil Kumar, was suspended by the Bihar government on charges of corruption, an official said Thursday.
"Senthil was suspended by the state government as the department of personnel and training has agreed in principle to go ahead with the prosecution sanction sought by the Vigilance Investigation Bureau against him," the official said.
Senthil, a 1996-batch Bihar cadre officer and currently on central deputation, has been charged with committing financial irregularities amounting to Rs.7.46 crore when he was the commissioner of the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) in 2009-10.
In February last year, a vigilance team conducted a raid and seized documents from the PMC office. Senthil, who was present in the office, had sneaked out through a backdoor.
The vigilance investigation revealed that Senthil had connived with developers and the land mafia for personal gain.
Officials say the vigilance probe revealed that Senthil had immovable properties in Patna, Delhi and Chennai. He reportedly also owns a cafe and a departmental store in Patna.

Very neat mate!
Test session of the new locomotion system using an animator created using the Animator Editor of the IGDE ( shadows disabled since this has been originally a night map with increased light for taking this video ). Blends between various motions ( walk, run, crouch, move sidewards ) as well as looking around ( up-down and left-right ). The camera is attached to a special bone and therefore all camera motions are animated. This allows for a better immersion and more rich camera motions to get away from the simplistic head bobbing we know from todays games. While running straight ahead the head bobbing is small but running sidewards it is much stronger. The system works using a simple Locomotion script class you can easily use. Animations are loaded from animator XML files and can therefore be edited with the IGDE by artists not requiring programmers/scripters in between.

Former city attorney ID'd as driver in fatal hit-and-runApril 11,2013By Brent Curtis
Staff Writer
Former Rutland City attorney Christopher Sullivan has been identified as the driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash in the city Wednesday night.
In a statement issued by city police Thursday evening, Sullivan, 53, was identified as the driver although police also said he has not been charged with any crimes in relation to the death of 71-year-old Jane Outslay who died hours after she was struck while crossing Strongs Avenue at about 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Police Chief James Baker said Sullivan, through his attorney, turned his vehicle over to detectives who are examining it. The make and model of the vehicle were not disclosed and Baker said the vehicle was being sequestered while the investigation continued.
While Sullivan, who was city attorney under former mayors Jeffrey Wennberg and John Cassarino, has not been charged with any crimes, Baker said charges were pending and Rutland County State's Attorney Marc Brierre and the Vermont attorney general's office were involved in reviewing the case.
A press conference has been scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. to provide further information in the case.

Fernwood director earns awardPublished 11:26pm Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Fernwood Botanical Garden has announced that executive director Carol Line has been honored as the recipient of the 2012 Award of Merit from the American Public Gardens Association (APGA).
Line was nominated by colleagues and Fernwood staff for this national award, which she received at the annual APGA conference at the Hyatt Regency in Columbus, Ohio, on June 21. The award was presented by Sarah Maietta, APGA membership manager, who worked with Line at APGA and has known her for many years.
"Carol has worked incredibly hard, and perseveres and moves through her career with grace and humor," Maietta said. "Her love of plants and public gardens is infectious and one she shares with members and visitors alike."
The Award of Merit recognizes an individual APGA member who has performed with distinction in the field of public horticulture and has excelled as a public garden professional at one or more institutions.
In addition to her work at APGA, Botanic Gardens Conservation International and Fernwood, Line has worked at some of the nation's finest public gardens, including the Huntington Botanical Gardens, Denver Botanic Gardens, The Morton Arboretum, Chicago Botanic Garden, the Arnold Arboretum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
She currently serves as the chairwoman of the small gardens professional section of the APGA and has served as the APGA publications committee chair.
"APGA has been central to my life and career for almost 30 years," Line told 500 colleagues present at the awards ceremony, many of whom she has worked with over the course of her career. "I rarely have missed a meeting, and I've become a lifelong student of gardens and how they work."
Line added that when she interviewed for the position of executive director at Fernwood almost five years ago, she "dropped a few names." She referred to her APGA colleagues as her support system and thanked them for their support through the years, which she said has made all the difference in her career and her work at Fernwood.
"As Fernwood prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2014, Carol has been said to lead the garden with a fresh, relevant, and ambitious vision, confidently paving the way for another 50 years of extraordinary adventures and amazing opportunities within the Fernwood community," Maietta said.
Line reminded APGA members that they are all very fortunate to work in the public garden field. "We strengthen our communities, conduct important research, educate, enrich, beautify and help to save the plant. We do good work," she said.

Against Leviathan: Government Power and a Free Society
Recorded: Wednesday, September 29, 2004
September 29, 2004
Oakland, CA
What is fundamentally wrong with government today? Since 2001, despite low inflation, federal spending has increased by a massive 28.8%, creating the largest deficits in U.S. history and the highest rate of government growth since the "guns-and-butter" presidencies of Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson. At the same time, federal agencies have been given new powers to secretly search anyone's property and intercept phone, Internet, and other communications, as well as inspect health and financial records. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, economist and historian Robert Higgs alone predicted this explosion of government power, as politicians have again taken full advantage of a frightened American public.
At this special Independent Policy Forum based on his new book, Against Leviathan, Dr. Higgs will present an unflinchingly critical analysis of the abuse of government power, including pork, the welfare state, protectionism, trampling on the Bill of Rights, and governmental responses to a continuing stream of "crises," including foreign wars, both hot and cold. Dr. Higgs combines an economist's analytical scrutiny, an historian's respect for the facts, and a refusal to accept the standard excuses and cruelties of government officialdom.

Great looking psd. Love that header image of kinkakuji, who's the illustrator?
Hi, it's included in the theme description, at the "credits" section. Check him out.
It looks like Alexander Scott website: http://ckcallen.com
Hi Buddy. Let's clarify things a bit:
You have already posted this comment at the HTML version of this theme: http://themeforest.net/item/rythm-one-page-responsive-html5-template/3327626 and I have already replied there. Perhaps you should make a research and be 100% sure before you start posting implying that my design is a copy of http://ckcallen.com , because as it is clearly stated here: http://drbl.in/fJBs it is not.
However, thanks for the heads up, I discovered it thanks to your comment, and I have already contacted the designer about this.
I do not know what your relation with the designer is, but since you seem to be so passionate about this issue (posting the same comment on two themes) , this is what I had to say.
Hey imagineallt -
I have no idea who you are, but cool down man – I was the one that saw John's design and decided to reverse engineer it! Buy John's PSD or HTML5 template and you'll be happy. I just decided to do it myself, that's all.
John – sorry for all the headache!
Thanks for that Chris

The University of Texas at Austin Speech and Hearing Center, founded in 1938, is the oldest program of its kind in the state of Texas. The center, founded three years prior to the establishment of the universitys Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders in the College of Communication, is a shining example of the symbiotic relationship shared by the university and the city of Austin. The program provides graduate students with a training ground for their clinical studies, and at the same time, offers invaluable services to a sector of the Austin community that might otherwise fall between the cracks of insurance and bureaucratic divides.
The center provides services for a variety of hearing and communication disorders, including congenital and acquired hearing loss, developmental speech and language disorders, voice disorders, and speech and language disorders due to stroke, head injury and other neurological impairments. Communication and language groups are available for clients with aphasia (the inability to produce and understand speech because of brain damage) and for parents with children who have language development problems. According to Director Ann Hillis, clients range in age from newborn to elderly. The centers youngest patient was one month old and the eldest was a man in his 90s.
We serve a wide spectrum of the community, she says. Its amazing what we can do with the space that we have. This is a tremendous opportunity to help people. There are so many people with hearing and speech difficulties. We currently are having a difficult time servicing the needs of our clients, and the demand just keeps growing.
Services are offered on a sliding fee scale, and rarely does a need go unfulfilled. However, due to growing popularity of the centers services, time and space constraints are increasing concerns. The center, originally housed in the Department of Speech Communications, is located in the Jesse H. Jones Communication Center CMA Building. Hillis walks through the offices and labs and points out masses of equipment that occupy every nook and cranny of space.
In 1993 we logged 2,000 client visits, says Hillis. In the year 2001 we logged 6,000 client visits. This represents a 300 percent increase in service in an eight-year span.
According to statistics provided by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, one in 10 Americans has some type of communication disorder, and nearly 28 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. Children are the most prevalent victims of hearing problems, with one in every 22 infants born with a hearing disorder, and about 5 percent of children under the age of 18 experiencing some degree of hearing loss.
These statistics drive the centers SHARP program. SHARP (Sertoma Hearing Aid Recycling Program) is a collaborative between the universitys Speech and Hearing Center and Sertoma, a national organization whose acronym and ideology denote services to mankind. Sertoma collects discarded hearing aids from hospitals and nursing homes and covers the cost to refurbish them. These hearing aids, which normally cost several hundred dollars, are then made available to the centers clients for $30.
We fit anywhere from 50 to 60 hearing aids per year, says Hillis. Sertoma has been wonderful to work with. This program is invaluable to our clients and it provides us with a vital learning tool for our students clinical practicum.
According to Mark Bernstein, associate professor of Speech and Hearing, U.S. News and World Report magazine ranked the centers graduate program 12th out of 119 in Speech-Language Pathology and 15th out of 66 in Audiology in the year 2000. (These are the most recent figures available). For the fall 2002 semester, 54 masters students were admitted to the program, out of 137 applicants (39 percent). With prominent national rankings and an elite, dedicated group of graduate students enrolled in the program, the center is well respected in the community and across the nation. It boasts one of the few bilingual/multicultural programs in the U.S., and therapy and testing are offered in English and Spanish.
As Hillis completes the tour of the facilities, she ponders a hand-drawn painting that was given to the center by a grateful client.
I just wish we were capable of expanding the program, she says. Communication is the very core of our existence. What we do within these walls is provide people with the means to express themselves. We offer an extremely valuable service to the community. In all honesty, I truly believe that we are one of the best kept secrets in Austin.

AWD's favorite line from the movie "Trading Places" was when Louis Winthorpe (played by Dan Akroyd) said of Eddie Murphy, "He's probably wearing my Harvard tie…like, oh sure, HE went to Harvard!" What an a**hole! And a perfect representation to the rich communist bastids that infect Harvard and the Ivy League universities.
Texas Senator and conservative superstar Ted Cruz had the unmitigated audacity to tell the truth about the comm-a-nists at Hah-vahd. He accused the Harvard Law School faculty of having had "twelve" Communists who "believed in the overthrow of the U.S. Government" on its faculty when he attended in the early nineties. Oops! No more Grey Poupon for you, Senator!
Well, the upper-crust brats at Harvard didn't take kindly to Senator Cruz speaking the truth. The Harvard Crimson student newspaper said:
If you think Harvard is a revolutionary communist hotbed, don't apply. If you think Harvard is full of "pinheaded" professors, don't enroll. And if you think Harvard pollutes the minds of its students, don't walk out of here with a degree—and certainly don't get two.
They left out "if you want to learn how to balance a checkbook, don't apply at Harvard! Or any other Ivy League snob-a-torium that knows a lot about theory but nothing about reality! The cabinets of the past several administrations have been filled with Ivy League-tards who have fancy degrees but can't piss and hit Earth in the real world!
Ivy League universities are really no different than other universities, except the students are hairy and smell worse. Most come from rich, well-connected families who can get their spoiled, worthless brat offspring accepted knowing they don't have the skills to deliver pizzas. The other group accepted into Ivy League schools are Affirmative Action losers who couldn't get into a community college in their towns without preferred pigment.
Duke University is called "the Ivy League of the South." It's populated with rich, yankee kids from the bankrupt hellhole of New Jersey who weren't either rich or connected or black enough to get into Hahvahd. So they go to Durham. AWD attended NC State (Go Pack!). My accounting professor also taught at Duke. Same material. Same lectures. Same tests. Only Duke graduates were supposed to be oh-so-better educated than the "lowly state universities." AWD got an A in both accounting classes I took. But I was too sexy to be an accountant and accounting ain't no job for a man.
The Harvard Crimson brats continued:
If only we could have spoken to a young, wide-eyed Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney, or Bill O'Reilly. We would have assured them that it was okay to be anti-intellectual, and that millions of people around the world do it every day. Although we didn't share their dread of academia, we would have tried to make them feel comfortable with the lifestyle they were preparing to lead. We would have attempted either to disabuse them of whatever cognitively dissonant impulses gave them the urge to attend Harvard or, at the very least, try to prepare them for the potentially scary environment that awaited them. For one, we would warn them that Harvard has a few liberals.
It's the "intellectuals" from Harvard and their ilk who have given America a $16 trillion national debt, Cash for Perfectly Good Cars, $1 trillion non-Stimulus Bills, ObamaCare and other disaster zone legislation that has piled mountains of debt on us lowly commoners who know how to make a buck and live within our means.
AWD will tell you one damn thing. Academics are losers! They never have made one dime of profit nor have they ever signed the front of a paycheck. They create nothing except politically correct claptrap that doesn't work to indoctrinate rich brats who have never had a job. I would as soon hire a guy who has worked as a dog poop scooper in Waxahachie, Texas than some spoiled brat with a Harvard degree. Sure, every now a Ted Cruz squeaks out of Harvard without becoming a drooling socialist but, for the most part, Harvard graduates are no different than what comes out of UT in Austin or any other America school.
One thing AWD has learned. The rich take care of their own. In Dallas, SMU graduates are guaranteed high paying positions from SMU alumni because they play golf with their daddies at Dallas Country Club. If one is a minority or a member of the lucky sperm club, you'll have no problem getting into one of the fancy big-name universities. Sure, you won't know sh*t when you graduate but you'll get big jobs you really don't deserve ahead of those who have worked their entire lives to earn such positions.
George W. Bush was a C student at Yale. He would have been a C student at Harvard or Collin County Community College. But he had a wealthy daddy who had been the Director of the CIA. His disastrous results as President show that an Ivy League degree didn't make him smart. Obama shows that the PC route into Columbia and Harvard don't do anything for you except further indoctrinate you into socialist ideology.
Academics work in theory. ObamaCare is a perfect example. Oh sure, the libtards believe everyone should have health insurance…as long as it is paid for by the taxpayer. In reality, the only thing ObamaCare will accomplish is putting American companies out of business! Since the academics who dreamed up that nightmare legislation have never run a company or had to pay insurance premiums for their employees, they have no @#&*ing idea of how unrealistic ObamaCare is! And I'm still waiting for any of the academic geniuses to explain how moochers who receive free healthcare at hospitals and clinics today are going to pay for health insurance under ObamaCare!
AWD knows people who attended Harvard and other Ivy League schools. They weren't any smarter than the rest, only better connected.
The wealthiest guy in my city is a plumber. He started a plumbing company and grew it by hard work and sacrifice. He can also balance a checkbook. He now lives in the largest house here and is very wealthy. But he drives a pickup truck. His tax dollars are taken to pay the salaries of professors who couldn't turn a wrench at his company yet complain about his greed and the evils of capitalism.
Screw Harvard! Want American government to succeed? Fill it with businessmen who know how to create wealth instead of libtards who teach how to divest in stock funds that include firearms manufacturers! Haven't the over-educated/under-smart done enough damage?
Here's the Wikipedia entry about Ivy Leaguer Timothy Geithner's education:
Geithner spent most of his childhood in other countries, including present-day Zimbabwe, Zambia, India, and Thailand where he completed high school at the International School Bangkok.[7] He attended Dartmouth College, in the tradition of his father and paternal grandfather, graduating with an A.B. in government and Asian studies in 1983.[7] He studied Mandarin at Peking University in 1981 and at Beijing Normal University in 1982.[8] and earned an M.A. in international economics and East Asian studies from Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in 1985.[7][9] He has studied Mandarin[7] and Japanese.[10]
Geithner can't even pay his own taxes accurately! His performance as Secretary of the Treasury proves he would have been a window-licker on a short bus if not for his rich, well-connected parents.
Screw Harvard! Screw Ivy League communist brats! Screw academic frauds who, outside of academia, couldn't succeed as a line worker in the fast-food or janitorial industries!
Preach on, Senator Cruz! Expose the frauds for what they are! The fact that Barack Obama graduated from Harvard tells me all I need to know about the joint!
Go Wolfpack of North Carolina State! Go to Hell, Carolina! And Harvard? Kiss my big ol' state university educated ass! And don't bother applying at my company!
