Supply is a lot better in the early months, that's at least on your side.
Agree with above comments on pumping. Also be sure to call hotel ahead of time to request a refrigerator for your hotel room, if you plan to bring the BM home. If flying, check the current rules for carrying BM on plane and think about where/how you will pump in airports/ on plane. (I pumped in my seat on the airplane and in quiet areas of the airport- with a cover, it is doable and no one notices).
Bring a battery pack and a manual pump just in case, especially if you're going out of the country to a place with a different power standard.
Try to line up your pumping times and locations ahead of time, as much as you can.
Mom to the Wee Beastie (2008) and Beastie 2.0 (2012)
Is there any way you can bring her along? That may be a silly question, as my job doesn't require too much travel. I did have a similar length trip when YDS was ~5 months and just brough him and my mom along to watch him. It worked out great, as far as BF and keeping supply up.
Mom to Sarah (Dec 2007), Chase (August 2010) and Ella (June 2012)
Leaving a 3 month old, flew from Michigan to Vancouver - stayed for 9 days.
In luggage, I packed a collapsed cooler, Freestyle pump, a bunch of milk bags, bunch of small gift bags, nursing cover, pump bag, cooler bag & cooler packs.
I pumped every 6 hours or so, for 20 minutes or so. I was OK with at least 2/3 output. I had a handsfree double pump (Freestyle), and did breast compressions. Milk was put in medela-type bags. I'd put fresh milk in a cooler bag (cooler pack frozen each night in hotel fridge), milk in hotel refridge as soon as possible, every night a gift bag of milk was taken to hotel's guest freezer. I collected water bottles throughout stay. Last night, I took several water bottles to guest freezer. End of trip, in collapsable cooler, was filled: frozen gift bags was surrounded by frozen water bottles. Clothing stuffed on top to fill up cooler space. Had no problems checking the cooler with frozen milk, even through CANADA customs. I did pump right after we completed customs and filled a baggie of ice from airport store, to sneak 'liquid' on the plane.
I pumped just outside port-a-potties, in travel vans, in hallways, in airport restrooms, in hotel lobbies, in museum/aquirium/resturant restrooms... anywhere I found time, a place to sit, and chilled - reading a novel and pumping.
Best pump session was a restaurant restroom couch. Talking to a peer, after conversation ended, she motioned for me to leave with her. I explained, I had to pump for a few more minutes. She turned bright red. She hadn't realized my nursing cover wasn't my shirt! :) Love that pump isn't heard over background music!

Who cares about voter fraud, anymore? ACORN guilty pleas ignored
Remember last fall, when every last moonbat was decrying voter fraud preemptively? Remember Diebold Derangement Syndrome? After the Dems won, of course, voter fraud dropped from their political radar screen.
And boy, would they love for the rest of us to fuhgeddaboudit.
Yesterday, three elections hoaxers who worked for the far Left group ACORN pleaded guilty in Seattle for their role in the biggest election fraud scheme in Washington state history (hat tip – Orbusmax). Didn't make the nightly news:
Three of seven defendants in the biggest voter-registration fraud scheme in Washington history have pleaded guilty and one has been sentenced, prosecutors said Monday.
The defendants were all temporary employees of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, when they allegedly filled out and submitted more than 1,800 fictitious voter-registration cards during a 2006 registration drive in King and Pierce counties.
No votes were cast in the names of the phony voters. Prosecutors said the defendants committed fraud in order to keep their jobs without actually registering voters.
King County election workers brought the fraud to the attention of prosecutors last October, after noticing that signatures on many registration forms looked like they had been written by the same person.
Those of you with long memories will recall that these are the goons who filed thousands of phony registration forms while sitting around a table at the Seattle Public Library, using names like the following:
Tom Tancredo
Dennis Hastert
Alcee Hastings
John McKay
Leon Spinks
Frekkie Magoal
Fruto Boy Crispila
I ask again: Why do we still fork over taxpayer subsidies to ACORN?

Dr. A's Recipe For Lowering Cholesterol
You just got a call from your doctor's office and were told your cholesterol is high. Maybe you were told you would need to be placed on a cholesterol lowering medication. Or maybe it would be best to try "lifestyle modification" for a period of time and then recheck your levels and see if they improved. Perhaps your physician provided you with the TLC (Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes) recommended by the National Cholesterol Education Program of the US National Institutes of Health, which although very scientific, is not the most tangible and user-friendly. It states:
• You may get 25% to 35% of your daily calories from fat, mainly from unsaturated fat.
• Most of the fat should be monounsaturated, and only 10% of the fat should be polyunsaturated fat.
• Less than 7% of your daily calories should come from saturated fat.
• Eat no more than 200 mg of dietary cholesterol a day.
All great recommendations, but they still leave you wondering, what exactly does all that mean? You know you need to make some changes with respect to your diet and physical activity, but you'd like some specifics.
I put this quick handout together to shed some light into what are often nebulous lifestyle recommendations aimed at improving the health of our patients. These tips are not just for people with high cholesterol. They are for everyone. Whether you have high cholesterol and would like to eventually come off of your Lipitor or were told your cholesterol is a touch elevated and that your diet could stand some improvement or your cholesterol is perfectly normal and you'd like to keep it that way…I hope you find these tips helpful and relatively easy to follow.
First of all, cholesterol is affected by our genes AND our lifestyles. We can't change our genetic make-up, so let's do something about what we CAN change: the decisions we make on a day to day basis.
Of course we have all heard these first 5 basic concepts, but they're so important they deserve being repeated over and over again:
1. Aerobic exercise- I tell my patients who don't exercise at all to start slow and shoot for at least 3 days a week of ANY exercise to get the heart rate going. Whether it's zumba, tennis, power walking or jumping around your living room for 30 minutes to your favorite tunes, get up and MOVE! If you are already working out 2-3 days a week, you should increase the frequency so that you are doing so on most days of the week. Again, to avoid boredom, change it up! I definitely need variety to keep myself in the groove so I alternate between p90x, classes at the gym, elliptical, power walking and so on.
2. Stop smoking- if the risk of a whole slew of cancers isn't enough to make you quit, maybe the risk of heart disease is. Smoking has many many adverse effects, one of which is elevating LDL (bad cholesterol) and lowering HDL (good cholesterol)- basically the opposite of what you want. Stopping smoking will improve your health on multiple different levels.
3. Shed some pounds- losing weight will help lower LDL and boost HDL. Here is a link to a BMI calculator from the NIH in case you were curious.
4. Cut back on saturated fat- Hasta La Vista red meat, whole milk, coconut/palm oils, butter and deep frying. Instead say hello to extra-lean meats, skim/low-fat dairy products, olive/sunflower/safflower oil and grilling/baking.
5. Say NO to trans-fats-look for trans-free alternatives and stay away from fast food chains. No matter how enticing that burger and fries may look, it's just not worth it.
Now…what to eat specifically?
DR. A's Cholesterol Lowering Diet
1. Whole grains like whole wheat, whole oats and oatmeal, whole rye, whole-grain barley, brown rice, and popcorn. My most important prescription for lowering cholesterol is telling my patients to have a bowl of oatmeal every morning (made with low fat milk or almond milk) and add some ground flaxseed and/or chia seed for extra UMPH while it's cooking--jazz it up with some fresh fruit (peaches, bananas or blueberries are my favorite!) and nuts.
|Prescription: 1 bowl oatmeal q morning with fruit and nuts
2. Beans and legumes like garbanzo, kidney, navy, and black beans, lentils and edamame.
3. Fresh fruits like apples, pears, bananas, grapes, citrus and berries. The sky is the limit here!
4. Veggies like eggplant, artichoke, beets, spinach, broccoli, okra and peas.
5. Fatty fish and don't fry it! Grill or bake instead! Eat fish 2-3 times a week for optimum benefits. Get your omega 3 fatty acids on by going for mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, salmon, halibut. PS- ground flaxseed is an alternative excellent source of omega-3s.
6. Nuts like walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, pecans- not salted or sugared! Use instead of cheese or croutons in salads.
7. Oils like olive, canola, sunflower, safflower instead of butter or shortening when cooking! You'll be amazed at how tasty these are!
8. Egg whites instead of whole eggs are a solid protein source. Alternatively, you can try cholesterol free egg substitute
9. Foods fortified with plant sterols and stanols- OJ and yogurt beverages with added plant sterols or stanols can help lower LDL.
10. And don't forget! You don't need high calorie/high cholesterol ingredients to boost flavor! Say goodbye to sour cream, half and half and butter. Instead, discover your spice rack! Reach for turmeric, curry, cumin, paprika, cinnamon and the list goes on! And that's not all! Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, oregano, dill, rosemary, sage, etc are fabulous ways to transform an ordinary dish into an extraordinary one!
|Turkish Spice Bazaar!
One last point. This cholesterol lowering diet will not only benefit your heart. It will have your bones, digestive tract, brain AND palate thanking you :-)

Persian Saffron Chicken Kabob Salad
A while back, I posted my family recipe for Delicious and Nutritious Persian Saffron Chicken Kabobs. If you haven't yet tried them, you can click here for the recipe. The beauty of this dish is that when there are leftovers, you have a scrumptious lunch to look forward to the next day. Add the chicken kabob pieces (and leftover grilled veggies if you have them) to a bed of mixed greens and fresh veggies...a splash of fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil...and you have a delicious and flavorful salad to chow down on the next day!
Hope you enjoy!!

Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars
Get ready because these are gooooood! They are a perfect make-ahead snack for the entire work/school week...just store them in the fridge in an air-tight container and you're golden. You can play around with the ingredients...add raisins or other dried fruit, substitute a different nut (hazelnuts, pecans etc) or even try them with butterscotch morsels (I think that would be divine!)
Depending on your mood, alternate this recipe with my other make-ahead snacks on a weekly basis to keep it exciting!! Try my Bananarama Bars, All Natural Super Health Bars and "I can't believe they're vegan" Ridiculously Delicious Blueberry Muffins!

Jeffrey Bath and Alan Ericksen integrate medical imaging expertise into patient care
With the arrival of two new radiologists, Gifford Medical Center has created its first employee-staffed Radiology Department. Gifford previously contracted radiology services through outside private practices.
Radiologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries using medical imaging techniques—X-rays, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, Bone Density, Nuclear Medicine, and Mammography. They work closely with providers to provide accurate diagnoses and treatment recommendations.
"Having everyone on staff allows a seamless collaboration between the radiologists and our providers," said Director of Ancillary Services Pam Caron. "We offer up-to-date diagnostic technology services to our patients, and having these physicians on staff strengthens our ability provide to personalized patient care close to home, with experts who are part of our community."
Dr. Jeffrey Bath worked as a locum tenens at Gifford last summer and returned as a permanent employee in March. Previously he had a private practice affiliated with the North Adams (MA) Regional Hospital, which closed in 2014.
"I chose to specialize in radiology because I was attracted to the science side of medicine," Bath said. "I like to troubleshoot and work closely with other providers to find the best way to deliver patient care."
Dr Bath earned his BS and MD degrees from Tufts University and began training in Internal Medicine before changing to radiology. He completed a residency in Diagnostic Radiology at SUNY Upstate Medical University.
Dr. Alan Ericksen joined Bath in Gifford's Radiology department in May. He was partner and vice-president of Radiology Associates of Bennington (practicing at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center and Mary McClellan Hospital) before moving with his family to Tennessee in 2003, where he worked in practices that served several hospitals and as a locum tenens.
"After 12 years in Tennessee I really missed the country, so I am very glad to be back in Vermont," Ericksen said. "I also enjoy meeting and talking with patients, which is possible in a small hospital setting like Gifford."
Dr. Ericksen earned a BS from Houghton College and an MD from New Jersey Medical School. He completed a residency in internal medicine before deciding to become a radiologist, and then completed a diagnostic radiology residency (both at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School).
A child prodigy whose artwork was displayed in the Met and Louvre, he says that radiology offered him a way to connect his interest in the visual with his interest in medicine. He still paints and exhibits, and also plays the French horn.
To learn more about Gifford's Radiology department and the services offered visit www.giffordmed.org/Radiology or call 802-728-2214.

A styling spray that gives hair body from root to ends. It creates sexy movement, touchable hold, and a buoyant feel over a wide range of climates and humidity, for those wanting hold and body without the heaviness of styling products. Amazon Infinity Mist turns up hair's volume, adding incredible body. It retains moisture and provides amazing styling versatility to all hair types without weighing hair down. You'll see and feel the benefits after just one use.
I am fond of spray setting lotions, and ordered this ptoduct when the setting spray I had been using by Neil George, was not available. This is an exceptionally large bottle, making it a good value. It has a unique slide closure on the neck of the bottle, which, after I figured out how to use it, I really liked. The slide keeps the liquid from spilling out if the bottle gets knocked over. The spray went on nicely, and was not sticky at all. My only complaint was that the hold was not as good as the Neil George product I had been using.
Spray through damp hair after shampooing and conditioning. Do not rinse out. Blow dry and style, or let dry naturally.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.
There are no DOT restrictions on the delivery of this item – you may elect to have this item sent through any of our delivery methods.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MeggDogg from Horrible Product. Do not Purchase I bought this lavender wax 2months ago and have attempted about 4 times to remove hair. It never works. The consistency is too thick and obviously not sticky or waxy enough to do the job. Waste of money...straight up!! Disappointed!!
Date published: 2016-02-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by samo from The best By far the best wax on the market. I used to wax with honey/lemon but this wax is so much better. I also don't know why but the lavender is better than the non lavender version. The only issue I have is that it's not well stocked in stores.
Date published: 2015-05-01
Rated 5 out of 5 by jalbertso from GOOD STUFF Been using it for many years now, and the only product i've used for ALL my waxing needs. Yes, this kit here, works for my legs, bikini area, underarms, and facial hair. Gets a little red after, but if u knew what u were doin you can make it go away and no bumps after! Only one complaint that I did see others mention; needs more strips!!!! (though i will say i am getting better over time with using less of them and therefore having more left over :) *By the way, I'm arab so the hair is definately THICKER and in a lot MORE places and this works just fine.
Date published: 2015-03-13
Rated 1 out of 5 by Tbar from DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT You're going to see bots saying "it's so great" IT'S NOT! You apply the wax, hold the skin taut and pull and the strip simply rolls off the wax. The wax doesn't even adhere to the strip, it stays on your skin and takes about 4/5 tries applying and ripping the strip off again. This product leaves bruises, dark marks, and most of all all the hair you wanted gone, STILL THERE. Don't do it. Don't do it. Do not waste your money whatsoever!!
Date published: 2014-07-25
Rated 4 out of 5 by Natti from Best microwave at home wax I have tried many types of waxes and I believe this is the best microwave at home wax there is. I have sensitive skin and coarse hair which makes it difficult to find a wax that will get all my hair out without stripping my skin as well. I tried the extra strength version and it would rip my skin out. I use this for underarms, bikini line and stomach.
Date published: 2014-05-07
Rated 1 out of 5 by mmarie from Bruised Me!!! Do not buy his item if you plan on using it for your panty line area. I used as instructed and his protect didn't pull up the hair but bruised me instead. I would rather have stuck with the razor burn. What a waste of money!...
Date published: 2014-04-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by cblair78 from Love It!!! I have used this product for years & absolutely love it! I do home waxing on my upper lip & sometimes my eyebrows & it removes the hair completely! Tried using a different product once & did not work as good as this. I will never use anything else.
Date published: 2013-12-09
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tati from Effective but harsh This product gets rid of all the hairs on my body, short or long. It is particularly great for underarms because it's impossible to wait for those hairs to grow full length (I think that's just disgusting to see). So yes, it needs to be a strong wax and it does sometimes feel like it pulls the skin off as well. But if you use it correctly it is fantastic! You only need to apply it once and it should pull everything! Even those tiny upper lip hairs. Comes off with ANY oil, even vaseline or whatever you have on hand.

Tax revenues in African countries are rising as a proportion of national incomes, according to the inaugural edition of Revenue Statistics in Africa. In 2014, the eight countries covered by the report - Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritius, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia - reported tax revenues as a percentage of GDP ranging from 16.1% to 31.3%.
These ready-made tables and charts provide for snapshot of aid (Official Development Assistance) for all DAC Members as well as recipient countries and territories. Summary reports by regions (Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Oceania) and the world are also available.
The Open Government Review of Morocco is the first of its kind analysing a country's open government policies and practices and their institutional and legal frameworks for implementation against OECD instruments. By bringing together a multitude of OECD instruments and expertise in different areas of public governance, the Review provides Moroccan policy makers, public sector officials and civil society activists with practical indications on how to improve and successfully implement their national open government agenda. In addition, the Review contains a list of recommendations on which to build Morocco's Action Plan for the Open Government Partnership.
The government maintained its policy of improving the business climate and encouraging private investment in 2014 so as to support economic transformation. These efforts gave Morocco a ranking of 71st out of 189 countries in the World Bank report Doing Business 2015.
The OECD and the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco today signed a Memorandum of Understanding on a two-year Country Programme which will support Morocco's reform agenda.
The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes published today new peer review reports for the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan and Morocco.
The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 120 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing.
The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention.
The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. "Fishing expeditions" are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard.
All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction's legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.
With Africa's population set to double by 2050, modernising local economies will be vital to make the continent more competitive and to increase people's living standards, according to the African Economic Outlook 2015, released at the African Development Bank Group's 50th Annual Meetings.

Urban, seaside, cultural and business tourism accounts for 10% of Morocco's gross domestic product; in Tunisia, the figure is 5% (2011). Saharan sites are part of the main tourism circuits: Moroccan and Tunisian sites are accessible to travellers arriving in Agadir, Marrakesh, Sousse or Djerba. With ten million visitors in 2012, Morocco is themost popular tourism destination, followed by Tunisia (6 million), and Algeria (2.6 million).

Re: Fill Flash on Av, 430EXII, 60D Help
To add to what Lemming51 has already stated, it doesn't matter what shooting mode you are in, the sync speed for a 60D is 1/250th of a second. That being said, if you do go into high-speed sync mode, know that you will lose about 2 stops of light from your flash. If you've set the flash to ETTL mode, it should compensate for the loss (assuming you aren't close to full power). If the flash is set to manual, you'll need to bump the power yourself.

Who's the favorite? The roles have changed out West

DETROIT -- This is the hockey witching hour.
The moments before a playoff series begins, when teams are dissected and probed and prodded from beyond the dressing room walls, those teams do their best to gird themselves against all of the words and voices that swirl around.
Teams see themselves as they want to be seen, not how others seem them, and do whatever it takes to maintain that illusion.
But, on the even of the conference finals, as much as the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim ...

needed to make something for my new 24-incher, so i came up with this soft, dark, cross-hatched, minimalist texture. you can see it in action here [link] (just added 2560x1600 by request)
nice one.. can u plz write a tutorial on it? plz
Cool thanks
only all created in PS?
only all created in PS?
Thanks, yeah it's all in Pshop. It's about 200MB. It's 4 layers of pattern with differing transparencies and shades of grey and then about 3 layers of highlights and 8 layers of noise and scratches and grunge effects all in a big (read as: slow) smart object that has 6 different effects on it for lighting and color.
Wow, that looks great!
This one's a keeper. Great job. There is enough contrast between the light and dark areas to camouflage my LCD's *slightly* uneven lighting. Thanks for the 1920x1080 size too.
Sure, thanks for the comments. It's great to hear what sizes are important! I just got a 24" LG and am using 1920 for the first time. I'm surprised how many people are using that size.
Simple, Clean, Minimal, 2560x1600, = Nice
smooth man lovin it
Cool texture
Cool, thanks. That's what I was shooting for. I made a custom pattern for the hatching, then gave it some depth and shadow and then layered on noise and lighting all as a smart object. The base file is 230MB.
Very cool!
Ahhhh mannnn
I love you!!!!!
And thanks for thinking about us, the 1080 users
I love you!!!!!
And thanks for thinking about us, the 1080 users
Sure, thanks. I started with 1920x1080 because I just got a new 24" LG monitor for the holidays.
Nice wall, you've thought to make a color version? Like a light blue
Looks nice. Lately, I've been really into simple things like this.
Is this 2560x1600? If not could you please make one.
Sure, I just added 2560x1600 to the download.
nice and simple. +fav
Big thanks mate! It's funny what makes it onto the website but not the group and vice-versa.
Now if I only had a matching dock with the same "black" as in the Wallpaper

This volume had its genesis in the conference Civilians in War: 100 Years After the Hague Peace Conference, held in New York in September 1999. The conference was generously sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, whose president, Vartan Gregorian, cochaired the event with Rita E. Hauser, Esq., chair of the Board of the International Peace Academy (IPA), and David M. Malone, president of IPA. Elizabeth M. Cousens, also from IPA, designed the original project, which was ably brought to fruition with the assistance of Charles K. Cater.
The involvement of the Carnegie Corporation of New York went well beyond the role of sponsor. In addition to the critical and much appreciated role of David C. Speedie in conceiving the project and Stephen J. Del Rosso Jr. in encouraging the transformation from conference to edited volume, Dr. Gregorian has helped shape the agenda in this important emerging field of international concern and action. To him and all the staff at the Carnegie Corporation, warmest thanks.
Most of the contributors to this volume have built upon papers presented at the conference. Their work was enriched by the interventions of the many able and eminent persons who attended. It is not possible to list all these interventions, but special mention should be made of the keynote address by Canadian Minister for Foreign Affairs Lloyd Axworthy and the address by U. S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Harold H. Koh. Building upon the discussion that took place at the conference (both on- and off-the-record), further chapters were solicited. It has been a rewarding experience to work with all these authors in the final development of their contributions.

An armed neutrality was preserved in both world wars. Sweden's long-successful economic formula of a capitalist system intermixed with substantial welfare elements was challenged in the 1990s by high unemployment and in 2000-02 and 2009 by the global economic downturns, but fiscal discipline over the past several years has allowed the country to weather economic vagaries. Sweden joined the EU in 1995, but the public rejected the introduction of the euro in a 2003 referendum.

Sweden remains outside the euro zone largely out of concern that joining the European Economic and Monetary Union would diminish the country's sovereignty over its welfare system. Timber, hydropower, and iron ore constitute the resource base of an economy heavily oriented toward foreign trade. Economic growth slowed in 2013, as a result of continued economic weakness in Sweden's European trading partners; Sweden's economy experienced modest growth in 2014-15, with real GDP growth above 2%, but the country continues to struggle with deflationary pressure.

The Greater Tallahassee Area Chamber of Commerce is once again not supporting Leon County's proposed health care plan and the half-cent sales tax to support it.
Chamber members met Tuesday afternoon to possibly reconsider their position, but a change of mind couldn't be reached.
Chamber Chairman Bryan Desloge said, "It was by no means a unanimous decision, but the executive board and the full board ultimately decided in a majority that we should vote no against the sales tax, we felt that it's just not the time or the place for this."
Leon County officials say they're not surprised by the Chamber's decision.
Vince Long, Leon County Deputy Administrator, said, "We think this plan is actually one that has the best chances of succeeding for approximately 9,000 people in our community who are uninsured."
Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare's Board of Directors will meet on Wednesday to decide whether it will change its position. The board has said the November ballot is far too crowded for such an important issue, asking for it to be pulled off. The Capital Medical Society and Capital Regional Medical Center have endorsed the county's plan.
Leon County voters will decide in November whether to increase their sales tax by a half cent to support a health care plan for the uninsured. If approved, Leon County would have one of the highest sales taxes in the state at eight percent.

How To Take Your Vidoe Gaming To The Highest Level
More and more people than ever can remember video games as kids. This notion doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon, and video games are more popular than ever.
If you want to give a child a video game as a gift, pay attention to the ESRB rating. This rating is going to tell you the age range that is deemed appropriate for the particular game. It can ultimately help you figure out whether or not you want to purchase the game.
Download a glimpse into the games you purchase it. This kind of demo will allow you to figure out whether or not it's worth it to buy the full version. Make sure that you exercise safety precautions when doing this. Only download from reputable sites.
The small download will tell you whether your system is capable of running a game. If you do not know what you are doing, remember that you can just delete it after you get the information that you need.
When buying games for kids, only buy those without violence or adult content.
Be careful when it comes to online gaming. There is sometimes a monthly fee for access to these sites. Always check out any gaming websites that children want to visit because all their friends are playing there.
Take advantage of the parental control settings. You may want to check to see if it is an online compatible game. If it can be, try limiting your kid's Internet access. You may also want to check their friend requests and limit the amount of time they play excessively.
If your child plays video games, then join in with them and play their games. Playing with your child can yield a great way to understand what the games are all about. Try asking questions and show that you are interested in their gaming adventures. Hands-on experiences are always the best!
The PS2 is 12 years old and kind of outdated, but it is cheap and has a great library. There are many titles available and they're a remarkable difference in cost of newer system games. There are a lot of previously-played games on the market for this already made.
Make sure to monitor a child's online games. Be aware of people they play with. Some predators use online gaming in order to manipulate young children. Protect your children by only allowing them from playing with friends.
Check the review of the game before you go out to buy a new video game. Some games are on sale because they are no fun. The online reviews and Metacritic score allows you to get the game is like.
You could possibly get special bonuses by ordering early. These types of extra bonuses can include insider tips and features that may only be available pre-release.
A good cleaning kit will get those games back in running condition. There are tons of cleaning kits available on the market.
If you notice that your child is getting too involved in a video game or is demonstrating signs of aggression or anger during game-play, you may need to put them into some sort of a time out.
Don't let playing video games be your free time. Too much time spent on video gaming can be unhealthy.You have to make sure you do other activities also.
Monitor your children if they play an online video game play. While many have ESRB ratings, many also carry a warning about how situations in the game can change to something that doesn't fall within that rating. You must make sure your kids are not seeing anything inappropriate when they're playing in this situation.
Play online games for free instead of purchasing a brand new one. You can enjoy playing games but without paying a lot for them.
You can also play new-release games online in free trials to see if you have a gaming system connected to the Internet.This lets you to find out if you enjoy a game before you decide to make a purchase. It also allows you some free practice before you leap into the game itself. Try the demos so you will not be sorry.
Try renting your kids video games before buying it. Most stores won't take a game back if they're already opened, but the games are expensive. Renting a good idea since it won't cost you that much to test the games out.
An online forum is a great place to start if you are going to buy video games.Forums are a variety of different games and consoles. Users provide reviews on the games and they aren't paid to do so by those who endorse the product for money. They will give honest reviews.
Video games have been a important part of the childhood of more than one generation. They have undergone a phenomenal change through the years. You can only dream of where video gaming will go in the future. So much fun to thing about it and imagine all the possibilities of future games.

Loved this movie !! Cracked me up !! No clue what movie the supposed critics watched but I figure they fastforwarded through the whole movie and missed what it was all about.
SUPER FLICK !! I totally agree with jbw620. As usual, the critics do not know jack. For anyone over 14, this is a great fun family movie that at the end will leave everyone with a big smile and their toe tapping. Buy the DVD or see it on VOD. It will make your \"family weekend\" great.
screw the critics-see this movie. family and loyalty, not individuality is what we\'ve lost in this technological world we live in. this is a good movie because it makes you feel for each of the characters (except grandma).

As the puppetmasters lose their control, they will do many, many more false flags. The only way they can get back control of the population now is to create fear. But if you are angry, rather than fearful with the many many more false flags we will most certainly witness, you have the upper hand and all the control. I am angry.
Now I am going to let it all go and meditate on how the power-mongers will lose even more control than ever. Just gonna put it out in that great vacuum, my will super-powered, and let events fall into place.
Wait wait wait. False flags? Name some false flags and what the purpose of those false flags were.

After a campaign that has been dominated by competing attack ads and arguments over issues that have nothing to do with the lives of Connecticut residents - among them who has a poorer record of not paying their bills - the Senate race between Republican Linda McMahon and Democrat Chris Murphy should over the next two weeks move to matters of substance.
Beginning today the two candidates will clash in four debates over just 11 days. This will put to test the knock on Mrs. McMahon that she cannot move past her talking points and into a substantive discussion of the issues. Rep. Murphy will be forced to defend his congressional voting record and respond to some of the blistering attacks coming from the McMahon campaign.
If the public is paying attention, these series of debates could have a significant and potentially decisive impact on a race that is now essentially tied. A Quinnipiac University poll released last week showed 48 percent of likely voters supporting Mrs. McMahon and 47 percent backing Rep. Murphy. The poll also showed the McMahon campaign's blizzard of political mail attacking her opponent, combined with negative TV and radio spots, has damaged the congressman's reputation. While 45 percent hold a favorable opinion of Mrs. McMahon, only 36 percent now see Rep. Murphy favorably.
In this critical election that will decide who replaces influential Sen. Joe Lieberman and could potentially determine which political party controls the Senate, it is critical that voters depend on more than campaign propaganda to determine their selection. These debates provide the chance for the candidates to be tested on the truly important issues in this campaign - the economy, job creation, the future of health care in America, getting federal spending under control and assuring the long-term viability of the Social Security and Medicare programs.
The candidates have major policy differences. Mrs. McMahon proposes a series of tax cuts that she says will get more money in the hands of business and consumers and get the economy moving, but she has not adequately addressed the spending cuts that would be necessary to allow that approach without driving up the deficit. As part of deficit reduction Rep. Murphy supports increasing taxes on the wealthiest, returning to tax rates charged during the Clinton administration. Mrs. McMahon would repeal the Affordable Care Act, while Rep. Murphy would push to implement it. Neither candidate has proposed policies for controlling entitlement spending.
The first debate is today at 11 a.m. on WFSB Channel 3, a studio event with no public access.
At 7 p.m. on Oct. 11 the candidates will appear at the Jorgenson Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Connecticut. That debate is sponsored by the Hartford Courant and will be televised on Fox 61.
On Oct. 15 The Day, WTNH and the Garde Arts Center will sponsor a debate at the Garde in New London. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. for the 7 p.m. event that will be telecast on MYTV9. The Robinson & Cole law firm is also a sponsor of the debate.
On Oct. 18, the candidates will hold their final debate at the Connecticut Broadcasters Association meeting in Hartford. That debate is not open to the public, but will be broadcast by several TV and radio stations at various times. Check listings.
