An exploration of parental sensitivity and child cognitive and behavioral development.
Date: August 2005
Creator: Ingle, Sarah J.
Description: The current study attempted to show the relationship of paternal sensitivity and maternal sensitivity and their possible influences on child cognitive and behavioral development. This study used data collected as part of the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care, which is a longitudinal, multi-site study. Correlation and regression analyses were computed to examine relationships between the variables at child age 6 and 36 months. Results indicated paternal sensitivity was a significant positive predictor of child cognitive abilities and a negative predictor of both fathers' reports of children's externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Maternal sensitivity was a significant negative predictor of mothers' reports of children's externalizing behaviors. Interpretations of these results and directions for future research are discussed.

The Influence of Parental Conflict on Late Adolescent Perceptions of Parental Support
Date: August 1998
Creator: Flint, Pamela
Description: The question addressed in this study is whether either parent's conflict style affected the supportive quality of the parents' relationship with the son or daughter. It was important to explore variables that affect support because supportive relationships with parents have been related to adolescent adjustment. Past studies have suggested parental conflict has a negative impact on the parent-adolescent relationship. Research in the area of mediators of perceived support in the parent-adolescent relationships is limited. This study focused on perceived support in the specific relationship of the parent and adolescent. Qualitative measures of conflict were used since they have been more strongly related to changes in parent-adolescent relationships than quantitative measures. In this study the supportive quality of the parent-adolescent relationship was operationalized as a measure of parental support, depth of the parent-adolescent relationship, and conflict in the parent-adolescent relationship (Quality of Relationship Inventory).

Filial Therapy with Immigrant Korean Parents in the United States
Date: August 2002
Creator: Lee, Mi-Kyong
Description: This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of filial therapy training in: (a) increasing immigrant Korean parents' empathic behavior with their children; (b) increasing immigrant Korean parents' acceptance level toward their children; and (c) reducing immigrant Korean parents' stress related to parenting.The experimental group, consisting of 17 immigrant Korean parents in the United States, received 10 weekly 2-hour filial therapy training sessions and participated in weekly 30-minute play sessions with one of their children. The control group, consisting of 15 immigrant Korean parents in the United States, received no treatment during the ten weeks. All the parents were videotaped playing with their child before and after the training as a means of measuring change in empathic behavior. The two written self-report instruments completed for pretesting and posttesting purposes were the Porter Parental Acceptance Scale and the Parenting Stress Index. Analyses of covariance revealed that the immigrant Korean parents in the experimental group had significant changes in 10 of 12 hypotheses, including (a) a significant increase in their level of empathic interactions with their children; (b) a significant increase in their attitude of acceptance toward their children; and (c) a significant reduction in their level of stress related to parenting. ...

Parent Psychopathology, Marital Adjustment, and Child Psychological Dysfunction: The Mediating Role of Attachment and Sibling Relationship
Date: August 2010
Creator: Hindman, Jason M.
Description: This study is part of a larger research project examining family attachment processes. The current study tests a family process model that postulates the mediating role of parent-child attachment and sibling relationship quality in the associations of parent psychopathology or marital adjustment to children's psychological dysfunction. A community sample of 86 families with at least one school-aged (8-12 years) child was recruited from area schools and organizations. Families came to the UNT Family Attachment Lab, where they participated in research tasks, including interviews, self-report instruments, and videotaped interaction tasks. Specific questionnaires used in this study included the Sibling Relationship Questionnaire, the Security Scale, the Behavior Assessment System for Children, the Symptom Assessment-45 Questionnaire, and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Using a single indicator for each variable, path analyses tested three paternal models, three maternal models, and three systemic models using different informants' (i.e., father, mother, child) reports of child functioning as the outcome variable. Results of this study highlight the positive relationship between parent marital adjustment and parent-child attachment security, as well as the inverse relationship between maternal psychopathology and mother-child attachment security. In addition, the inverse relationship between parent-child attachment security and child psychological dysfunction was significant across nearly all ...

School based child parent relationship therapy (CPRT) with low income Black American parents: Effects on children's behaviors and parent-child relationship stress, a pilot study.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Sheely, Angela
Description: This study examined the effectiveness of training low income Black American parents in child parent relationship therapy (CPRT). In response to the cultural values and challenges faced by low income Black American parents, the CPRT manual was adapted slightly for use with parents for this study. In this quasi-experimental design, 14 parents were assigned to the experimental group and 13 parents were assigned to the no treatment control group. Six hypotheses were analyzed. Different analyses were conducted based on the hypotheses. A two-factor repeated measures analysis of variance and analysis of covariance were conducted to determine if the CPRT treatment and the no treatment control group performed differently across time according to pretest and posttest results of the Child Behavior Checklist - Parent Version (CBCL) and the Parenting Stress Index (PSI). Additionally, partial η2 was calculated to determine practical significance. Five hypotheses were retained at the .025 level of significance. Findings indicated that parents who participated in the CPRT training reported a statistically significant decrease in parent-child relationship stress. Specifically, parents assigned to the experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in Child Domain (p < .001), Parent Domain (p < .001), and Total Stress (p < .001) of the ...

Is video modeling enough to teach parent-child interactions? Toward a systematic evaluation of the key components of video modeling.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Whaley-Carr, Anna Marie
Description: Parent-child interactions help set the foundation for a child's development. It is therefore important to investigate the relative efficiency and efficacy of procedures used to train them. One procedure that researchers continue to explore is video modeling. The current study evaluated the effect of a video model that displayed favorable parent-child interactions and a modified model with embedded instructions to determine if the introduction of either of these models would alter parent-child interactions. Both models were presented alone without supplemental guidance. Three families were involved in the study. The results showed no systematic change across families or conditions as a result of video viewing and are discussed within context of the needs of the parent, adequate stimulus control, community to support behavior change, measurement sensitivity, and influence of methodology. This study provided a great baseline for future studies to explore the necessary components to create an effective video model.

Life is Sweet
For years, Interact Theater has showcased the efforts of disabled artists and creators, along the way producing plenty of entertaining, engaging, and thrilling theater. The company's latest production, Life Is Sweet, looks at life through the eyes of those with Down syndrome by transforming a 15th-century morality play into a modern meditation on everyday virtues. The work, based on The Summoning of Everyman, stars Eriq Nelson as Everett Mann. As he looks back on his life he is visited by several modern-day virtues. These are performed by a number of Interact actors "with an extra 21st chromosome." Tod Petersen (A Christmas Carole Petersen) directed the piece, which grew out of a series of sessions where the cast and creative team improvised and developed their unique characters and look at life. Previews are November 4-5, the show officially starts November 11.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Wed., Nov. 10, 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, 3 p.m.; Wednesdays, 11 a.m. Starts: Nov. 4. Continues through Nov. 27, 2010

Preliminary designs for what a tablet PC in slate format and the corresponding user interface would look like have popped up on the Chromium project developer page.
The keyboard would be available in a software version, with various interaction modes. Input can also be via context-sensitive overlays. Zooming and navigating with tabs along the screen edges are some additional ideas.

(By Rich Bieglmeier) Thursday was a day of mixed economic reports and more worries about stagnant fiscal cliff discussions. Jobless claims were much lower than anticipated, coming in at 343,000 versus expectations of 370,000. Retail Sales gained 0.3%, which is better than October's flat reading; however, November's result was only half of the 0.6% forecast.
Both sides in D.C. pointed the finger at the other side and blamed the other party for a lack of "compromise" on fiscal cliff talks. Intrade puts it at 84% that we are cannonballing on January 1, 2013. But don't worry; the papers are starting to say we can handle a small cliff dive that lasts a short while without causing too much damage.
The snail paced discussions were blamed for the markets turning red on Thursday. While talks in the nation's capital are inching along, volume was fairly brisk. Although stocks dropped, and volume was solid, the state of the indexes didn't change much. As they say in basketball, no blood, no foul. No technical damage has been done.
[Related -Lululemon Athletica inc. (LULU): Near-Term Risks Could Further Derail Investor Confidence]
There isn't much in the way of economic news today that's going to upset or invigorate traders. At 9:15 a.m. EST, Industrial Production will be announced. The street believes the post Sandy blues are over, and we'll see a rise of 0.3%. Miss, beat, on target, the result might move the market at the opening bell but forgotten before lunch.
In all likelihood, stocks will get most of their work in early in the day and fade as the final bell of the week approaches. If the NASDAQ wiggles it way a touch lower on Friday, you might read a bit about the index suffering the "death cross," which is when the 50-day average moves below the 200-day average. We don't worry too much about it as a standalone event and with a 50/50 track record. Now, if the S&P and Dow join the death cross party, then iStock would be a little twitchy.

Fort Drum Soldiers showcase culinary skills before competition
February 28, 2013
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- Fort Drum's 14-Soldier Culinary Arts Team showcased their culinary knowledge and techniques by hosting a three-course field meal for 10th Mountain Division (LI) leaders Friday at 10th Sustainment Brigade Dining Facility in preparation for the 38th Annual Culinary Arts Competition next month at Fort Lee, Va.
"I'm not really a connoisseur of fine food," said Maj. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, Fort Drum and 10th Mountain Division (LI) commander. "But I know when good chow tastes good, and this tasted pretty good to me."
The general and the attendees were treated to an appetizer composed of seared halibut, roasted carrot and ginger puree with seafood mousseline, lemon grass beurre blanc, and Asian pear, apple and carrot slaw with citrus vinaigrette.
For the main entrée, guests were served ancho cocoa-rubbed ribeye with beef ragout, mushroom risotto ball, glazed root vegetables, and sautéed kale with bacon, veal reduction and horseradish foam.
Those who wanted dessert were treated to white chocolate mousse with a cherry glee center, mint caviar, almond clusters, mango sorbet on a mint chocolate brownie, macerated fruits and a cherry rum sauce.
After lunch, the general presented a coin of appreciation to Spc. Christopher McClinton, junior chef of the Culinary Arts Team, for his hard work and dedication.
Nineteen teams will compete in March in the Armywide competition at Fort Lee. It is the largest culinary arts competition in the United States.
"I think this is probably the best team I've seen in Fort Drum in years," said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Wade Froehlich, 10th Mountain Division food adviser. "It's probably one of the best teams I've seen overall in the Army in the past seven or eight years."
Members of the team have been preparing for more than three months with continuous training, Froehlich said. They practice every day for eight to 10 hours.
The maximum team size is 15 personnel, including the team manager and team captain. Team managers can compete; however, the total number of competitors may not exceed 15.
Last year, the Fort Drum team brought home four gold, 14 silver and 18 bronze medals in events like junior and senior chef; live cooking for pastry, cake decorating and savory dishes; nutrition; team field cooking; student skills; cold table display and ice carving.
"Fort Drum has not placed in the top three teams since 1999," said Sgt. 1st Class Michael Bogle, captain of the Culinary Arts Team. "I was on the winning team in 2011 with the Pentagon. I believe this team will place in the top three this year. These Soldiers are outstanding; they are eager to learn and dedicated."
For Soldiers who will be going to the competition for the first time, they could not be more excited.
"I have worked from 4 a.m. yesterday till 7 a.m. today," said Pfc. Shelby Tumbleson, G Company, 210th Brigade Support Battalion, eyes lighting up. "I'm super pumped. I'm so excited I can't express it in words."
Other members of the Fort Drum Culinary Arts Team are Sgt. David Allen, Sgt. Micah McKamie, Sgt. Sarah Proctor, Sgt. Kevin Wadlington, Sgt. Brandon White, Sgt. Jared Wilson, Sgt. Ryan Woolman, Spc. Marie Espinal, Spc. Michael Sanders, Spc. Cristina Tapia and Pfc. Jasmine Blade.

Everything should be on the SL disk. Insert the SL CD into the drive, reboot the computer and hold down the "C" key when it's rebooting. When the install menu comes up look for disk utility in the menu at the top. After you've erased and reformatted the drive you can proceed with the install.
BTW, I just read in another forum that you may have to set a jumper on the Momentus XT to reduce the bit rate from 6Gb/s to 3Gb/s so that it's compatible with your MacBook 6,1. Let us know how everything goes.

Located near the Oregon State Capitol in the heart of Salem, the museum's collections reflect the rich Pacific Northwest culture and explore the history of art around the world.
Special exhibitions range from classical works to modern masters, while the permanent galleries feature works by Pacific Northwest and Native American artists as well as a diverse collection of Ancient, European, American and Asian art.
Farewell to our dear friend
Rick Bartow (1946-2016)
The Oregon art community lost one of its most beloved artists and friends on April 2nd, when Rick Bartow passed away after a long illness.
John Olbrantz, the Maribeth Collins Director of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, says "Rick was one of the most important artists of our region, creating wonderful and evocative art that combined contemporary studio practices with Native American imagery. There was an intense immediacy and honesty to his artwork that I truly admired and appreciated. He was a major force within the art community who forged meaningful and lasting bridges between the native and non-native communities. He leaves a remarkable artistic legacy through his archives and art, not only at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, but across our entire region and country including the National Mall in Washington, DC."
Rick will be deeply missed, but he will live on forever through his truly powerful and profound art.

One of my girls is like a fountain. If she didn't pee and poop I would swear she spit up everything I just fed her. I talked to the pediatriction about it and she suggested I had rice cereal to her formula to thicken it up so it will stay in her stomach. There isa medical term for it but I forgot. I guess her valve opens up so when most babies burb she spits up. I've been doing this for 5 days now and it seems to be helping, it didn't fix the problem but it is better.

We tried what Henslee said about feeding almost upright and only one spit up since last night! We also slow her down. I think she is just too excited and can't stop to catch her breath/ eats too fast. It's helping, thought I'd pass it on incase anyone else is having this issue!

This review is from: SUPERMICRO CSE-M14T 2.5" mobile rack
Pros: * Need only one power connection
Cons: Fan is waaay tooo noisy, but for SSDs do not need it with positive case pressure. It is easy to remove and disable alarm. Using for 4 SSDs.
Other Thoughts: Can use a 40 to 60mm fan adapter and put a nice quiet 60 mm fan on back of unit when in case if needed.

Great product
This review is from: SUPERMICRO CSE-M14T 2.5" mobile rack
Pros: 1. Well-made (metal frame, not plastic)
Cons: 1. Annoying typos in the user guide
Other Thoughts: I'm using these with Intel X25-M SSDs, and they work great. The case fan provides more than enough cooling for SSDs.

More than one nervous medical student has entered Robin Mulroney's hospital gown from the bottom to listen to her lungs.
Aspiring doctors also have been known to forget to release blood-pressure cuffs after taking the vitals of their "patient." And there was the time a student inserted a speculum upside-down during one of LoriLynne Lawson's many pelvic exams endured in the name of training future physicians.
The days when medical students learned how to examine patients just by watching real doctors in action and then trying it themselves are now supplemented by people such as Mulroney and Lawson: "standardized patients" who are paid $20 to $50 per hour to let students poke inside their ears and tap on their stomachs.
These fake patients, many of them professional actors looking for extra money, can cry on demand when they are "diagnosed" with cancer or Alzheimer's disease. Strong memorization skills are a must: Patients have to stick to a script saturated with family history of disease, medications, sexual history and surgeries.
Standardized patients are in higher demand than ever in Colorado with the opening of a second medical school in the state last year, Rocky Vista University in Parker. Rocky Vista, an osteopathic school, and the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine each employs about 60 actor-patients, some of whom work for both schools.
The universities also have high-fidelity simulators — manikins ranging from $20,000 to $250,000 that take over where actors cannot: Give birth, have heart murmurs, bleed out, receive drug injections and require intubation.
Many actor-patients say they don't do it for the money but to help future doctors develop empathy, better listening skills and a gentler touch. After their exam, patients evaluate students as part of their grade.
"I want them all to succeed," said Rich Beall, who also has worked for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and had a TV role on "Perry Mason." He doesn't hold back when it comes to constructive criticism.
"If someone comes in with a lab coat that's not clean, you note it," he said. "I had one gal come in all dressed for a Saturday night."
"Patient" doing her part
Mulroney, who has worked as a standardized patient for nine years and now trains others, believes she's doing her part to prevent that rare "doctor from hell" encounter. She recalled a real-life experience in which a specialist walked into the hospital room of one of her relatives, flopped into a lounge chair and without even introducing himself announced, "So you have lupus." The doctor kept talking "90 miles an hour" even after the woman burst into tears.
"His empathy, his patient care for the whole patient, the emotions of the patient, it was just tragic," Mulroney said.
Last week at Rocky Vista, 10 first-year medical students wearing white lab coats and clutching medical bags lined up outside their assigned exam rooms. One was so nervous beforehand that she put her fingers in a yoga pose and sighed, "Zen." With the sound of an alarm, each student knocked on an exam-room door and stepped inside to greet an actor-patient sitting on an table.
The students had 50 minutes to perform a routine physical examination, observed by faculty and recorded in a control room down the hall.
Meredith Kirtland, 26, sailed through the "patient encounter" after she had practiced on her fiance and some friends. "Just a couple questions about your sexual history," she told her male patient at one point. "Sorry, it's a little uncomfortable topic."
Her professor's one small critique: She should have lowered her patient's pants farther to feel his lower abdomen.
Kirtland was too busy running through a mental checklist to think about the fact that the patient was an actor. It was a lot easier to examine him than her friends, who are "kind of giggly and you know it's not real," she said. "Everything else in that room is so real. What better way to learn it?"
The highest-paid patients are gynecological and urological teaching associates who guide students through pelvic exams. Lawson, a 53-year-old with scars from a C-section and a breast lumpectomy, has had up to 14 gynecological exams in one day.
She had one student remove the speculum without closing it. And she chuckles remembering some of the clumsy statements students have made, as in, "Let's just take a feel now, shall we?"
Lawson doesn't tell everyone she knows about her job. "Some people say, 'Ewww, how do you do that?' Some people think you are prostituting yourself," she said.
But Lawson remembers holding her daughter's hand during her first pelvic exam. "I was glad they knew what they were doing and hadn't just practiced on a plastic doll," she said.
"Making a difference"
Gynecological teaching associates typically are feminists "who know their bodies like no other" and have a "real strong belief that they are making a difference in the world," said Gwyn Barley, director of UCD's Center for Advancing Professional Excellence, which employs the actor-patients. Men submit to urological exams, she said, because there are "so few opportunities of any sort for students to learn the male genital exam."
"There is so much kind of mystery," she said. "You can't just ignore the male reproductive system."
Chelsea Williamson, 25, became a standardized patient after she was laid off as a cabinet designer last spring. She has found that some medical students need to work on their listening and sensitivity.
While she was portraying a girl with severe psychological problems who cuts herself, one student kept saying, "Gotcha." Another said "Great!" after she informed him that her parents were dead.

I got my BFP about a week ago and believe that I'm about 4 weeks pregnant. So far I've noticed that I get these pains around where my ovaries are, on and off. They are dull achy type pains and my uterus feels full and achy as well. I'm worried because I didn't have these pains with my first baby and my last pregnancy ended in miscarriage so I'm nervous.Very nervous. I just keep waiting for something to go wrong and really hope this isn't anything too concerning.
Anyone else have these pains and they ended up to be nothing??

A) This brings up a couple of misconceptions about saving image files. The first is how saving or resaving a file in a different format works. Let's take an example of a simple file shot with a digital camera and recorded in a high-resolution JPEG format. I'll call the file image.jpg.
First, I'll open the file in Photoshop. Regardless of the name of the file, it's now sitting in Photoshop in Photoshop's native file format. Something similar happens in any image-processing program. It can only edit in its native format.
I make some adjustments. Next, I decide to save the file, so I'll save it first in the native image format. At this point, I have to tell Photoshop to save it in something other than its original file type, even though it's in the native file format while being worked on. I go to File > Save As and select .psd and save the file as a copy. Now, I end up with a file on my hard drive called image.psd.
I also want to save this file as a TIFF file so that I can put it on a CD and send it in for publication. With the image still open in my image editor, I select Save As and choose TIFF as the file format. The new TIFF file is created on my hard drive, but the actual file open in Photoshop is still in its native file format because, again, an image-processing program can only make adjustments to its own file format.
Next, to send the image via e-mail to friends, I select Save As and this time choose JPEG. I could continue doing this, saving GIFs, PNGs, TARGAs, PICTs, BMPs and all sorts of other file formats, but realize that I'm still working from the native file format (which is the same as the image.psd file). When you use Save As, a new file is created, but the open image isn't affected.
Ultimately, it makes no difference in what order you save files from an open file in your image processor. It also doesn't matter if the files are compressed or uncompressed because as long as the file remains open, it's still at work in the native file format. It's only when the file is closed that you could have problems, but even then, it would be with compressed files, such as JPEG, not uncompressed files such as the native file format or TIFF. If you closed a file to a JPEG format, then reopened it and saved it again as a TIFF, you'd lose quality because of the compression changes.

guys answer me too please i'm in a hurry...
as i said i have to return the game in 10 hours...
guys answer me too please i'm in a hurry...
as i said i have to return the game in 10 hours...
NO FORMATTING WON'T HELP, that's why no one suggested it! you could try the methods that were actually suggested though, just a thought.
Its only happening with back ups right now. I popped in a copy of burnout paradise and it ran fine. BUT the ps3 did crash recently while attampting to run a back up and it created a crash log it looks like in flash. Is this normal?
did you say these to help me? i thought these are for rebel's issue. anyway, in my case, all games work fine, except heavy rain that i copied from original disk myself... and as i said the copying once went wrong and i did it again.
do you think restoring file system still helps me?
no your issue is different, did you install the heavy rain 2.0 update? what happened?
IF that doesnt work since you're only having problems with one game ripped from an original disc that is known to be working you should try different payloads and maybe backup managers but try the update first or you're just wasting your own time.
ok thanks, its still downloading, my internet speed is low, it will be over in 5 hours, and i will tell you what happened...
thanks again.
How would I go about doing the system restore? Been out of the scene since the early psp days when I used to develop homebrew.
Lol nevermind. This is what I get for posting when I first wake up. I'll try it and let you guys know if it fixes the issue.
See if this will help the 80010017 error.
Go back into Account Management in your console, and de-activate it. wait a few seconds, and then activate it again. Try your game again and see if it will then load.
Only having this error problem with spiderman 3 backup for my nephew. Since no one answered my thread ill give my bit on this one. If your certain your hdd and blu ray player is ok (you can play other backups ect) its to do with the eboot.bin commands demanding something the backup can't produce.
You cannot access account management unless logged into PSN. Which I can't on 3.41...

League of Legends vs. Dota 2?
Let's cut right to the chase. DFC Intelligence recently claimed that Dota 2 had surpassed League of Legends as the most played "core" PC title (in the west) during these first few months of 2013. While this news may have been riveting for Dota 2 fans everywhere, there is a major question to be asked: What numbers were they looking at in order to arrive at such a bold statement?
To put things into perspective once again, i'm looking at the first source of information that came to mind regarding the popularity of League of Legends, which is Twitch.tv. Right now on 4/14/2013 at 2:55 PM Central, there are 105,541 viewers on Riot Games watching the LCS 2013 EU Spring W9D2, in "English". The most viewers I could find on any single Dota 2 channel a few minutes later was 12,507 viewers of ThePremierLeague (Kaipi vs. Alliance). There are also just over 10,000 people watching FnatiC play Empire on ThePremierLeagueRU. Two other Dota 2 channels are at just under 5,000 viewers as i'm typing this. I'm sure you can do the math. After all, you were smart enough to visit ReadyUp Gaming, weren't you?
Yes, a quick comparison like that contains many variables and is not conclusive, so we should look at some solid "concurrent player" numbers. Riot have stated that League of Legends "sees over 500,000 peak concurrent players every day on just the EU west shard." According to SteamGraph, Dota 2's highest concurrent player count was 325,897 users worldwide. So, again, what were the DFC going by when they made this announcement?
Well, here's your answer. DFC's David Cole says their findings were based on hours played instead of concurrent players. I'd like to add that this can simply mean Dota 2 players slurp down more energy drinks than LoL players. Cole added, "LoL does have alot more users and we may have underestimated LoL. Thing is we have never seen anything like it so we have been pretty conservative. But Dota 2 is still big." Really, guys? Why was there an "estimation" in the first place?
By the way, Riot Games channel (LCS 2013 EU Springs W9D2) has gone up from 105,541 viewers to just under 120,000 viewers in the last 30 minutes before going off air.

Okay ladies I need a little help here. My EmmaLee (4.5 yrs old) told me last time that I was pregnant with my son Broderick (2 yrs old) two weeks before I took a pregnancy test. Two days ago EmmaLee told me once again that I was pregnant out of the blue with babies. I was shocked because I have been having a headache and being really tired. I took a test today but it showed neg. Should not have my period until the 21st of this month. I did the ring test over my palm years ago and it said that I would have 4 babies and it should that same thing each time I have done it at baby showers or whenever. Always girl boy girl boy. I have my girl and I then had a boy. My hubby told me to try the ring over my belly. We both held it to see three different times. It went in big circles and then straight into a straight line. Such as saying girl and boy in there. Now for my question has anyone tried the ring on a string over their belly and have it go in HUGE circles without you being pregnant??????
Ring test or other wives tales on if you are pregnant
I think for fun we should all do this test and see how many of us end up being preggers this month!

I am confused. What is the ring test??

Hoping for�Pink or Blue or both!
You put your wedding ring or some other type of ring on a sting of your hair or a thread. Hold it above your belly by a couple of inches. If the ring moves in a big circle it is suppose to be a girl and if it moves in a straight line back and forth it is suppose to be a boy. Also I read that you can only see a pulse in a ladies neck if she is pregnant. And you can see mine.
As far as I know there are two ways to do the test. One is with a thread and needle and the other with thread and a ring. To do it you just attach the ring/needle to the thread and let it hang motionless. This is the hardest part. Once it is positioned motionless over your tummy have someone else hold it straight and still it will supposedly move. Round and round for a girl and back and forth for a boy?? I think. Its an old wives tale that many do on their palms as well. When I did it on my palm it predicted I would have up to five children, two girls and three boys. Never did it to predict pregnancy though. Fun idea!
Kassie (25) DH (37) DS born 5/12/08 Jayden Bentley 12/03/09!!
Is it right so far for you on what babies you have had when you did it over your hand. Mine said girl/boy/girl/boy. So far girl then boy so I guess we will see.
I had boy/boy/girl/boy/girl and I have one boy working on the next! lol
Kassie (25) DH (37) DS born 5/12/08 Jayden Bentley 12/03/09!!
How fun! I tried it, and apparently I'm having a boy. Guess we'll know more next week. AF is due 1/14

Avast ye to me blog!� mtgracie.blogspot.com
It's fun to see what comes out of it. MTGracie was that over your belly or palm
I did the ring test today about a dozen times and all of them WIDE circle. Even if I started it in a side to side rock it endd up going round and round. Looks like another girl. We aren't finding out the sex but was hoping boy. I did it with my first pregnancy too and it was right on. Someone else try and post, it would be fun to see how true the test is.

A Vintage Dining Room in Falmouth, England
written by:
Eujin Rhee

Andrew Meredith
March 15, 2013
"It's far more satisfying to give new life to an old object than to just pick something from a catalog," says Kathryn Tyler, an interior designer based in the UK. For over a decade, Tyler has been scouring and collecting vintage finds from local thrift stores and websites. The dining room in Tyler's
home in Falmouth, England
, plucked from our
Interior Design issue
, is a shining example that holds the designer's bric-à-brac—a trio of black bowls and a $30 three-pieced wooden table surrounded by a set of 1950s Carl Jacobs Jason chairs Tyler snagged on eBay for $400. A graphic Ellsworth Kelly poster mounted on the painted white brick wall ($3!), brings a little color into the otherwise neutral room.

I don't yet see if it is a correct good argument, though. I don't see a situation in which the user wants a fuzzy match for the merge. Every edge in the graph represents a diff that a specific user approved. This conversation is not about the fuzziness inherent in the production of those diffs, right? (That is a different but related issue so it can confuse discussion.)
So with this graph:
a / \ b1 c1 | b2
assuming that the user who generated the diff from a->c1 generated the diff they intended to, and the user who generated the diff from a->b1 did the same, and the user who generated the diff from b1->b2 did the same, then I don't think the user who asks for the merge of the two branches would ever want the fuzzy solution which ignores the a->b1 edge and the b1->b2 edge in favor of using just the a, c2, and b2 states.

God of War 3 Remastered Trailer: A Decade on Mount Olympus
SCE Santa Monica is bringing back God of War 3 in an Olympus-sized Remastered version.
SCE Santa Monica is bringing back God of War 3 in an Olympus-sized Remastered version.
Sony is hard at work bringing one of its flagship series over to the PlayStation 4. That's right, our favorite, angry Spartan has a new God of War title in the works.
Like a dude using a laptop with his pants around his ankles, Kratos has always been known for doing his own thing. The rage-fueled Spartan has gotten his rocks off by slashing enemies into oblivion. Everyone onscreen, even innocent bystanders, were nothing but fleshy balloons to be popped into red level-up orbs. But his next game, God of War Ascension, will change all that.
Even though 'God of War 3' was supposed to be the final installment in the franchise, we knew that Kratos would be back. Now we learned that Kratos will, in fact, return in what appears to be a prequel called 'God of War: Ascension.'
In the latest ad for Playstation 3, real life version of Kratos from 'God of War', Solid Snake from 'Metal Gear', and Nathan Drake from 'Uncharted' all swap war stories.

THE PRESIDENT'S TRIAL; Excerpts: The Clinton Case Against Article II, Subpart by Subpart
Published: January 22, 1999
(Page 4 of 8)
But the literal truth here, while it may appear legalistic and hairsplitting, is, in fact, a defense to both the perjury and the obstruction of justice charges under the rule of law. While the President and Ms. Currie and Ms. Lewinsky had discussed cover stories while their improper relationship was in progress, there is simply no evidence that they discussed this at any time when Ms. Lewinsky was a witness in the Jones case. . . .
What Clinton Was Thinking
Subpart 5 alleges that at the deposition, the President allowed his attorney to make false and misleading statements to a Federal judge, characterizing an affidavit in order to prevent questioning deemed relevant by the judge.
It alleges obstruction solely because the President did not say anything when his attorney, Mr. Bennett, cited Ms. Lewinsky's affidavit in an unsuccessful argument to Judge Wright that evidence concerning Ms. Lewinsky should not be admitted at that point because it was irrelevant to the Jones case. At one point, Mr. Bennett, the President's lawyer, states that according to the affidavit, there is no sex of any kind in any manner, shape or form.
Now, this claim, which also is presented in the perjury section, as Mr. Craig pointed out, is deficient as an allegation of obstruction both as a matter of fact and as a matter of law. But I will say one thing: the direct evidence on this point is uniquely available because there is only one witness who can testify about what was in his thoughts at a given moment. And the President has testified at great length in his grand jury testimony about what he was thinking at this point. . . .
Now, Mr. Manager McCollum made a very polished and articulate presentation to you, and he predicted that the President's lawyers were going to argue that the President sat in silence because he wasn't paying attention. And we have indeed argued this, and it is the truth based upon what the President has testified he was thinking about.
But Mr. McCollum went on to argue that there was circumstantial evidence available from the videotape of the President at this deposition. He stated, and I quote him:
''We have already seen the video. And you know that he was looking so intently. Remember, he was intently following the conversation with his eyes. I don't know how anybody can say this man wasn't paying attention. He certainly wasn't thinking about anything else. That was very obvious from looking at the video.''
Well, you all saw the video during the House managers' presentations. And we saw a lot of the President at the deposition, yesterday, when Mr. Craig played the first part of it.
If you observe the President, throughout the time you have seen him on the video in the deposition, you will conclude that the look on his face was no different from when it was during other discussions or arguments of counsel about evidentiary or procedural matters. The videotape does not, fairly considered, indicate that the President was in fact focusing on the lengthy colloquy among his lawyers or that he knowingly made a decision not to correct his own lawyer.
Now, the President has received a great deal of criticism because, at one point in his grand jury testimony, when asked about Mr. Bennett's statement, the President responds to the prosecutor that whether Mr. Bennett's statement is true depends on what the meaning of the word ''is'' is; that is, there is no sex of any kind. That has gotten its share of laughs.
But when you read the President's grand jury transcript in context, this was a serious matter. And it's apparent that the President was not in any way describing what was in his own mind at the time of the deposition, but he is rather discussing Mr. Bennett's statement from the vantagepoint of the President's later grand jury testimony. He is interpreting what his own lawyer was saying. And Mr. Craig pointed this out yesterday.
Retrospective Assessment
That interpretation was not perjury in Article I, and it's not obstruction of justice in Article II. What the exchange was -- was that the President, in response to one of the prosecutors, explains why on one reading, Mr. Bennett's statement may not be false.
Now, it may be hairsplitting, and it may be professorial, and it may be technical. But the important thing is it's a retrospective assessment. The President is not talking about himself; he is talking about how to construe Mr. Bennett's statement.
And what he says is, there is a way in which Mr. Bennett's statement at the deposition is accurate; that is, if Mr. Bennett was referring to the relationship between the President and Ms. Lewinsky on that date, it was an accurate statement because the improper relationship was over a long time earlier.
Now, the relevant point here is that the President's disquisition on the word ''is'' and its meaning was not an attempt to explain his own thinking at the time of the deposition, but was, rather, his later interpretation of what Mr. Bennett had said at the deposition. In light of the President's direct, unequivocal testimony, this speculation about what was in his mind is simply baseless, and there is, in fact, no evidence to support the charge leveled in Subpart 5 of Article II.

contributed to both the web based survey and the workshop that was held last week.
The club is very pleased with the "exceptionally high" response rate that the survey elicited. "This makes the replies very valuable and meaningful, especially when added to the feedback from the workshop held last Wednesday" said Geoff Matthews, President of the club.
He also added that "the number of responses was higher than for clubs over 3 times our size playing rugby at higher levels than Penrith! This will now form the base from which our committee will move forward with our Development Plan."
"Producing this Plan will put Penrith in the elite band of clubs in the Country and it provides further recognition for your 'Whole Club'

'You can do more than you think'
Originally Published: February 24, 2010By Jim Caple | ESPN.com
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- With famous Canadian humor, Vancouver began Sunday's closing ceremonies to the Winter Olympics with a good laugh at its own expense.
A clown crawled out of a trapdoor in the center of the BC Place floor, plugged in two enormous electrical cables that exploded with sparks, and then mimed pulling a rope to raise the faulty fourth cauldron leg that stubbornly and infamously stayed down during the opening ceremonies.

Thomas County voters approved the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, known as SPLOST, on election day. The one percent sales tax passed with 70 percent voter approval.
A resident of Thomas County, Gail Lancaster, said, "I'm absolutely thrilled at the results of the SPLOST vote. I, of course, voted. This, of course, was something that was very much needed and I think it passed because the people of Thomas County have a tremendous amount of pride."
The six-year, $36 million tax will fund a multipurpose county building, recreation, library expansion, and a communications tower. It will also help restore the historic Thomas County Courthouse.
Thomas County resident Alesha Hauser said, "I went on the tours of the courthouse building and saw there was really no room for expansion for anything really in the building, and saw how they were functioning, and I feel that we really need a new courthouse in Thomasville."
While the majority of the voters in Thomas County are in favor of the latest tax, some residents worry about its financial impact.
John Clayton, a resident of Thomas County, said, "It's kind of devastating to the poor people and the disenfranchised people of Thomas County, Georgia."
The concern over the tax's effect on the community could be one of the reasons SPLOST was defeated 16 months ago, but Gail Lancaster feels the people were misinformed.
Lancaster said, "Once there was a proper campaign, a very good campaign launched to explain these issues to the public, you see what happened. What happened was voters expressed their clear approval of the SPLOST.

Do you know what part you need?
Have you ever done a repair like this before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS344915
With this thermostat, a dryer's heating element will cut out if the internal temperature reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The element will kick back in when the temperature drops to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Differential of 60 degrees.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
This clothes dryer thermal cut-off kit includes one high limit thermostat with a limit of 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and one thermal cut-off fuse (309 degrees). This kit also includes flat heaters with jumper wires.
PartSelect is great for providing parts as requested. Unfortunately, neither of the 2 parts I ordered were on my machine. My bad for not looking at the actual part instead of the description. A word to the wise!
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First I had to take the back cover off. I removed the heating element and the thermostat and replaced them with the new repairs. It was relatively simple---any handiman could do it and would not require a repairman. We talked to a salesman at Sears to see what they thought the problem could be and then got on the internet. The best part was that the repairs came within a few days of placing my order. That was super!!!Thank you for your fast response.
Measured resistance on thermostats & heating element. Found thermostat open so ordered replacement part and heat again.
Frist I looked on Parts Select site at there diagrams to figure out where the heating element was . After that it was easy to remove the back panel and expose the heating element box.The screw holding the element is a little hard to get too , but still easy to remove.You have to pull the box out a little to slide the element out. the only thing I did wrong was not buy both thermostates at the same time,and I had to spend a little more because the one part is not sold by itself. Over all a breeze
I followed the video offered by your website and it was very informative and right to the point. Was very brief and easy to follow. I ordered the parts before 10:00am and received the parts the next day with the regular shipping.Very good website others need to benchmark you. I will use your service for future repairs and refer you to others.
