7 Things I Won't Buy Until My Toddlers Are GrownMolly Thornberg
With 1 and 3-year old boys running around our house, to say that things are destroyed often would be an understatement. This is my second go-around with a set of toddlers. My 2 older kids, a boy and a girl, are now 8 and 10-years old. I've survived this thing before, but there is something about the mischief in these 2 toddlers that beats the pants off the first 2, hands down.
In December, we moved into a new home. There is a list of improvements to be made but after the first month here, I quickly realized – several items would be delayed after I realized what a rampage the toddlers can go on. It's not just our home that the toddlers are good at destroying, with these 2 you just have to watch your back.
7 Things I Won't Be Buying Until My Toddler is Grown 1 of 8My toddlers have conquered and destroyed. Here are the things I'm hitting pause on purchasing until they are older.
New Carpet 2 of 8A year before we sold our last home, we had put brand new carpet in. WOW, did it make a huge difference! Our new home has a few rooms with carpet that are totally in need of replacing. With the amount of peeing and pooping on the floor - we will be waiting to buy new carpet until everyone is potty trained, dogs included.
New Sofa 3 of 8Our sofa is over 10 years old. I love the thing, and it's lasted us thru 4 babies. With the amount of cushion throwing that goes around here, I can wait another few years (maybe).
Blinds 4 of 8For some reason, the last homeowners upgraded only half of the blinds in the home. Maybe they had toddlers. The cheap blinds have been destroyed in a matter of months.
Fancy Clothes 5 of 8Everyday has my clothes covered in snot and drool. Someday, this will be just a distant memory and can enjoy nice clothes.
Walls Painted 6 of 8Fortunately several rooms in this home were already painted when we moved in. And unfortunately our toddlers have decided to add their own artwork to the walls.
Expensive Face Cream 7 of 8Nordstrom's gave me this La Mer face cream in a swag bag. It makes my face feel amazing. My toddler thinks it makes his body feel amazing - I caught him lathering himself with it. (this stuff cost more than my first car payment.)
Cute iPhone Case 8 of 8I so love this Kate Spade iPhone case... but not with my kids. I'm stuck using the trusty Otterbox Defender. It's not cute, but it protects my iPhone from pesky toddlers.

While I love these little munchkins with all of my heart, dear sweet children I'm not going to be blowing anymore money on nice things until you are grown.

There is no way around it, Hotmail is a POP system, it will not sync on a Mac or a PC.

Go to Mail, Contacts & Calendars in System Preferences, scroll down to "Add other account ..." and then "Add a Mail account" enter hotmail credetials and you are done!

Thanks a lot Matty_V.
The information in the link worked as treat. All my hotmaial folder synched. I willl explain the steps as all of us as I believe we have POP mail in Mac mail application and we don't have the option to chose iMAP. The steps if you have mountain lion are s;ight;y different than what was in the link and thery are:
1. Open Mac Mail.
2. From the File menu, choose Add Account…
3. Input Email Address/User Name as a dummy value, like firstname.lastname@example.com.
4. Input Password to a dummy value, like "password".
5. Click Continue.
6. You will recieve a warning message, just ignore it and click Connect
7. Choose Account Type: IMAP. you can choose Description as Hotmail
8. Input the following as the Incoming Mail Server: imap-mail.outlook.com.
9. in here, enter your actual username (including @hotmail.com for exaple) and actual password.
10. Click Continue.
11. Input the following as the Outgoing Mail Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com. Leave discription empty
12. Choose to Use Authentication.
12. Click Continue.
13. Click Create.
Enjoy guys. A big relieve for me now and I hope for all of you

I am very concerned about these ionstructions from Chrisma01. It says to "ignore the error message". But when you read the error message it actuallys says that "you might be connected to a server that is pretending to be "example.com" which could put your confidential information at risk!". And after you have made the necessary changes, you might have given your personal login and password away!!??
I don't know too much about this stuff, but will stay clear of any dodgy sounding instructions and stick to my GMAIL, which beautifully synchronises everything. Unless a more experienced and respected member here can advise. Maybe this should even be forwarded to Apple Support..
Csound1 Sep 26, 2013 7:40 AM
in response to gpress
You can ignore the error message, the Outlook Imap service is new and as such is an unknown quantity so far. But unless you distrust Microsoft it safe to use.
Gmail is superior though (at this time)
Chrisma01 Sep 26, 2013 10:57 AM
in response to gpress
Hi gpress,
I feel frustrated when people like you talk about others in a bad manner. you could have simply asked.
Anyway, if you read the instruction carefully you will notice that by the stage when you receive the warning message, you have not entered any correct data. What you actually do is to Mac mail transfer to the manual mail set-up than using the automated one and there will be no connection as there is no server called example.com. Then when you enter your correct credentials, you will modify at the same time the server's address to outlook server before you connect.
If you check the link that Matty_V has provided, it is from Microsoft and who answered the question is a Microsoft moderator.
As Csound1 said, it is a new service, and I think in the future this will be added to Mac mail anyway. I agree as well with Csound1 that Gmail is superior at this time, but for someone like me who recently moved to Mac and I am using my Hotmail for 17 years, then it is more convenient to stay using Hotmail.

Hi all,
Carried out the instructions supplied by "alexisyancy" and can report that all my folders are listed under a folder marked "Import" the same as AavUK.
My problem is that all the messages are numbered like 00000000-00000000.eml not named and also out of order making it impossible to find a particular message.
I would like to know if anyone else has this problem and have the resolved it or not.
Csound1 Oct 6, 2013 6:58 AM
in response to MacPar
Delete all that you Imported and setup Hotmail as an Imap account instead of POP.
MacPar Oct 6, 2013 11:32 AM

Thanks Csound1

Sophomore quarterback Josh Ringelberg passed for 301 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 109 yards and another score as Greendale crushed Wauwatosa West, 41-16, Friday night in a WIAA Level 1 Playoff game at West.
The win for the Panthers was their first in the playoffs since moving to D2 in 2008. Greendale, which lost to Tosa West, 37-30, in overtime on Oct. 5, put this game away early this time.
Ringelberg raced 74 yards for a touchdown with 11:02 in the first quarter and then tossed a beautiful 86-yard touchdown to sophomore wide receiver Cody Kmetz for a 12-0 lead at the 5:59 mark.
West sophomore running back Demaris Purifoy scored on an 8-yard run and Zach Veit booted the point after to cut the lead to 12-7 with 3:54 left in the first period.
But it was all downhill from there for the Trojans.
Ringelberg threw TD-passes of 33 yards and 39 yards to Kmetz to begin the second quarter and then added his fourth TD-pass of the game - 39 yards - to Nate Miller for a 33-7 advantage.
The Panthers added a safety with 44 seconds left, wen a bad snap from center went over punter Mickey Morgan's head. Morgan then slapped the ball out of bounds to prevent a touchdown.
Jake Zywicki, who rushed for 110 yards, scored on a 37-yard run to make the score 41-7 with 7:23 left in the third period. Mickey Morgan scored from 4-yards out in the fourth period and then the Trojans got a safety when a bad snap from center went into the end zone for the Panthers.
Kmetz caught 6 passes for 191 yards and three scores to lead the Panthers. Purifoy rushed for 119 yards on 34 carries.
West played without star running back Jameson Brock and wide receiver Develyn Ferguson.

Danny Ainge: 'This offseason is bigger, my expectations are high'
Armed with high-value draft picks, low-cost young talent and salary-cap flexibility, there's potential for the Celtics to sign a true impact player.
Armed with high-value draft picks, low-cost young talent and salary-cap flexibility, there's potential for the Celtics to sign a true impact player.
Patrick Towles follows a recent trend in the ACC -- and at Boston College -- with a graduate transfer at quarterback.
General manager Danny Ainge says shoulder surgery is an option for Kelly Olynyk; the Celtics plan to bring Isaiah Thomas to the draft lottery.
Tom Brady's diet has been a hot topic of conversation, and the Patriots QB used Facebook to tout one of his favorite foods -- avocado ice cream.
Clay Buchholz's numbers have been among the worst in baseball this season, and the Red Sox are winless in his starts as a result.
Danny Ainge on the team's eight draft picks this June: "That's eight swings. Eight swings of the bat. I've got eight mulligans. Maybe we'll draft all of them and hope one of them comes out, fight it out in training camp."
Danny Ainge asked if this summer feels anything like 2007 before arrival of KG and new Big 3: "I'm not sure we have a Paul Pierce on our roster. But I do think we have a lot more things to trade, a lot more things to move."
Danny Ainge said that Kelly Olynyk (right shoulder) is the only player on the Celtics roster that will consider surgery for his injuries. Ainge: "Surgery is a option and it is being discussed." Ainge said that Avery Bradley suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain in Game 1 of the playoffs and the team likely would not have brought him back at less than 100 percent.
Danny Ainge on sending Isaiah Thomas as team's podium presence at Draft Lottery: "He's our leprechaun."
Who has the best receiving corps in the ACC? It starts with Clemson and Florida State.
Danny Ainge on the big summer the Celtics are entering: "We look forward to every offseason. This offseason is bigger. My expectations are high this offseason, and yet I also know that it takes good fortune. We need the pingpong balls to bounce our way to give us the best opportunity. Whether we use that pick or whether we trade that pick, and in free agency, we have opportunities. And that's all we have. We have no guarantees of great things happening. We just have a lot of hope. And so we have a lot of work ahead of us, and we have to have plan A through Z. Usually it's more A through G, but we have A through Z this year just to have an opportunity to upgrade our team."
Former Georgia WR and current NFL draftee of the New England Patriots, Malcolm Mitchell, once struggled with reading. Now, he has a children's book and an invite to Reese Witherspoon's book club.
Derek Matlock has coached some talented pitchers. But one small tweak to Red Sox reliever Carson Smith's delivery might have made him the best of all.
Third-year Patriots center Bryan Stork on advice to rookies: "Just come in, keep your mouth shut, and do your job. I'm still doing it."
Patriots center Bryan Stork speaks with reporters at a charity event at Harvard. He was present with Jimmy Garoppolo, who handed off media duties to Stork.
Miami, Clemson, Florida State and North Carolina have 21 of the ACC's 24 verbal commitments from players in the ESPN 300 for the class of 2017.
Draft workouts begin today for the Boston Celtics, who own eight picks in June's draft.
Running back will be a loaded position in the ACC this fall with several stars returning and quality competition throughout the league.
Boston Red Sox starter Steven Wright turned to teammate David Price for advice to fix his knuckleball and it worked.
The Patriots showed once again how much they value developing the quarterback position, drafting Jacoby Brissett out of NC State in the third round.
Who will be the eight teams selected to the Super 8? Follow us all spring long as we inch closer to the heralded Division 1A State Tournament.

Zest. Not just for bathing any more.
"The Toyota Prius is much too powerful and luxurious a road car," thought Walter Mitty. "What I desire is a Zest Roadster. Pocketa-pocketa-pocketa."
The Car Music Project
"The Car Music Project was conceived in late 1991 by composer Bill Milbrodt, when his personal car, battered and road-weary, was nearing the end of its useful life. It had endured close to 200,000 miles of road life with little mechanical maintenance and even less cosmetic attention. It would cost more to repair than it was worth and the poor thing had virtually no value as a trade-in. The paint was faded, pesky springs poked through the upholstery, knobs and handles were missing, and the electrical system was iffy. It dripped oil, blew smoke, and made more noise than a cement mixer. It was time to turn the car into music."

Memorials important to human experiencePublished 12:10pm Saturday, May 25, 2013
I've attended two services this week for people who have died.
Earlier this week, I had the honor of serving as a chalice bearer at my good friend Harry Slyhoff's funeral at St. James' Episcopal Church. Thursday night I went to a visitation in Montgomery to honor Billy Chesser, whose daughter Mitzi Waldo is a close friend.
That certainly doesn't make me an expert on memorial services, but in two of the past four days, I'd spent lots of time thinking about those who have gone before us.
When I was young, I used to dread going to funerals. It was uncomfortable, facing the death of others and the sadness that came with death. I wanted to get out of the church, or the cemetery, or the funeral home as fast as possible, to shed the experience as quickly as I shed my hot coat and tight tie and stiff black shoes and to get back into the more comfortable places and clothes of everyday life.
While attending a funeral service is still a bit uncomfortable, I have realized that my old attitude was all wrong. I was putting the focus on me, not on what is important.
I've come to understand that memorials and funerals play a deeply meaningful part in the human experience. We all want to be remembered, to have an effect on the world after we've passed from it. Memorial services help us do that.
This week it's been very obvious to me that while the actual funeral or memorial service is held because someone died, much of the value of the service is to the living. It's a time for people who were connected by the deceased person to gather, to express our sympathies, to share stories that celebrate the lives of those who died and to keep their memory alive.
A memorial service helps us create a common experience, a "marker" of sorts.
I've been struck this week by how much of the memorial services were filled with joy. It's a bittersweet joy, of course, but the hugs and laughs and smiles and tears helped renew and strengthen friendships.
A couple of years ago, my wife and I realized that our porch could be a dangerous place. It's elevated above our concrete-floored carport, and we have a wooden porch swing that, if you really get it swinging, can reach out over the carport. It occurred to us that if a small child were to walk behind the swing when it was moving, it could knock him off the porch and onto the concrete carport six feet below.
The porch is held up by brick columns and wrought iron supports. So we called Harry, who worked with Robinson Iron, and asked him if he would take a look at the porch and suggest what we could do to make it more safe.
A few days later, we walked outside and to our great surprise saw a beautiful wrought iron fence had been welded into place behind our porch swing. There was a "wet paint" sign on it. Nothing else. We called Harry and thanked him profusely and tried to compensate him for installing the railing. He wouldn't accept any payment, saying only, "You took some photos of my daughters once that meant the world to us."
I won't ever forget that. Harry's unsolicited gift that day was a gift twice given. He gave us a beautiful railing. But more importantly he gave me a tangible example of how to treat others. This week, during his funeral and in the days leading up to it, I heard similar stories told by many of Harry's friends. And that experience will keep Harry alive to me, as a role model. His life will affect mine for years to come.
Monday is set aside as Memorial Day, a day to remember those who have died in service for the U.S. armed forces. It's not just a time to spend a Monday on the lake or eating barbecue. It's a time to remember those who have died in our service and to keep their actions and memories alive as we go forward with our own lives.

- Wed, Nov 4, 2015, 1:11 AMHi David,
I have been a daily user of Onetopic for severral years, a fan of sorts
In the good old days Onetopic INCLUDED section Zero, so the tabs would be atop section 0, which to me was awesome!
When you went to section 1, it would take up the realestate used by section 0. What a space saver it was!
Now you get the tabs bellow section 0 (or main section).
Anything can be done about that?
Many thanks for your terrific course format!
- Thu, Nov 26, 2015, 2:51 AMHi David,
This is a popular format for our users. We are starting to add community plugins to our 3.0 Instance and we are wondering if you have an estimate on when this will be "certified" for 3.0?
- Fri, Dec 18, 2015, 6:02 AMHow can I set default tab colors for new courses without going tab by tab?
- Fri, Feb 5, 2016, 12:51 AMIs there any plans when this plugin will be available to Moodle 3.0?
- Sun, Feb 7, 2016, 1:44 AMReady!! Compatibility with moodle 3.0+.
Plus in current version: Topic summary as template.
Please, test and send feedback.
- Sun, Feb 7, 2016, 6:05 AMThank you, David!
- Thu, Feb 11, 2016, 10:55 PMThanks for the plugin.
When i try to duplicate a topic using Tabs edition utilities (whitch is set as sublevel) i get a ERROR 500 - INTERNAL SERVER ERROR. I have checked the .htaccess file but there is nothing there, also i change permitions from 666 to 644 but same result. Please can you verify....
Thanks in advance
- Fri, Feb 12, 2016, 12:41 AMHi Martinez...
I try but I not can replicate problem with "Duplicate a topic". The 500 error is a server error, check the timeout or other server characteristics. So, enable you the depuration in moodle and paste here some displayed message.
- Mon, Feb 15, 2016, 5:59 PMHello again David.
I've checked moodle status and everything is ok (see attached pic)
I'm using hostgator as host and looking to the adress bar it shows: myDOMAIN/course/format/onetopic/duplicate.php?courseid=5§ion=2&sesskey=XXXXXXXXX
and it continue giving me ERROR 500 - INTERNAL SERVER ERROR... please can you help me with this...
picture of moodle status...
- Mon, Mar 14, 2016, 9:38 PMHello David,
I'm using One Topic format for some time, however after I migrated to Moodle 3.2 I noticed a small problem, it is no longer creating the general forum at zero topic and as a consequence of this process the zero topic is inactive, with no option to enable .
- Tue, Mar 15, 2016, 2:22 AMHi Rafael...
the course format not create the news forum, this is created by the block "News items". Add this block in your course and the forum will be created automatically.
- Wed, Mar 23, 2016, 3:49 AMHi, i installed onetopic but i get an error message on bottom of each topictab:
"Function print_section() is removed. Please use course renderer function course_section_cm_list() instead."
I am using a Tikli theme with 3.0.....any advice on this error message? Thank you!
- Fri, Apr 8, 2016, 5:32 AMHello - we use and really like this OneTopic plug-in as a way to provide information to our users. We would really like to be able to color the text. When we add color tags in the HTML strange things happen. Any chance this is something that can be added to the wish list. Thanks!
- Fri, Apr 15, 2016, 8:07 PMHi, We are testing onetopic format in our Moodle 2.9.5. Look's like it works fine but tabs don't look like they should. I mean text is not inside borders. Tab is like divided to three rows. First part of the border then text and second part of the border. Something like that:
Any idea what to do?
- Sat, Apr 16, 2016, 2:47 AMHi Jukka...
usually, it is a problem with the graphic theme. In some cases, you can use the next line in order to correct the problem.
.format-onetopic .onetopic .tab_content { display: inline; background: none; }
Put it in the CSS file into the current theme.

"Augustine believed in the power of a community dedicated to the collective pursuit of truth and Christian friendship. At Villanova, this spirit comes alive through the students, faculty, staff, administrators, and Augustinian Friars who are united in a passionate pursuit of knowledge and service to others. This mutual commitment to Veritas, Unitas, Caritas – Truth, Unity, Love – serves as a living embodiment of the University's Catholic and Augustinian mission and creates an environment that fosters exciting opportunities for learning and growth."
Fr. Peter Donohue, OSA
Consistent with this visionary statement, the Center for Faith and Learning provides the opportunity to explore the vocation of the mind and the depths of the Spirit in the way of Augustine, who searched for knowledge in the context of community.
The activities of the Center promote critical inquiry in the context of community and friendship, where those who enter the dialogue, seek integration of faith, which is the hallmark of Augustinian pedagogy.
In the Faith and Learning Scholars program Faculty Mentors and Student Scholars together will:
On April 23, 98 sophomore, junior and senior Scholars gathered with their faculty Mentors and distinguished guests in the Villanova Room for the final Dinner Dialogue of the year. The article discussed was "Inspiring Faith and Engaging Reality: Promoting Virtue in a Secular Age", by Mark Ravizza, SJ. TheFaith and Learning Scholars program, now beginning its fifth year, is a three year long program and features "Dinner with Big Questions," i.e. Augustinian-styled Dinner Dialogues held four times annually attended by the scholars seated together with their faculty mentors.
The 24 Senior Scholars of the Center for Faith and Learning Faith and Learning Scholars program pictured here with Director Dr. Beth Hassel, PBVM, D.Min (front row, right), received their set of red and gold Honor Cords, representing faith and wisdom, at the close of the event. Similar to their Mentors these are worn at Commencement:
Left to right, back row: Jessica Swoboda, Noah Thacker, Christian Bruni, Kelly Gabriel, Wyatt Kimble and Alexander Kuczmarski.
Middle row: Lilly Rizzo, Sara Thoms, Megan Hopkins, Conor Dawson, Meaghan McCann, Rosalina Jowers, Anna Bauer, Brian DiCola, Mark Mullany, and Kimberly Tower.
Front row: Sarah Garwood, Elisabeth Nichols, Colleen Francke, Elizabeth Prather, Jennifer Warren and Dr. Hassel, Director.
Not pictured: Alexander Abdalla, Tiffany Ferrette and Mary Sondermeyer.
Senior Scholars Say:
"Our dinner dialogues were always like a breath of fresh air for me -- they helped me take a step back and consider my faith, something that I don't always make time for in my day-to-day life. Those moments became very important to me over the past three years."
"I have had the opportunity to meet a group of people all with the same focus of school and integrated faith. I never thought I would be able to connect with these students (and faculty) in one setting. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to experience faith and learning these three years."
"I'm a more confident person. Not just in my faith life, though that's certainly true, but I feel like a more well-rounded individual for having participated in this program. I'm more open. I'm more comfortable talking about myself and my experiences."

The tower by davincipoppalagWatch
©2008-2016 davincipoppalag
The Pemaquid point light tower on a beautiful day
Wonderful capture!!!
WOW!!!! beautiful shot!!!!!!!
thats it i wanna live there tooooo
me too
Beautiful colors, I love the softness. Great shot.
Highly romanticised colours and settings, could be straight from a painting and carries the same weight and quality as pleasant childhood memories do.
This looks almost a painting. Love the softness of it.
From the shots it looks lovely, I just wonder how much nicer it would be seeing it first hand
Its really even better in person Chris. You can smell the salt air, and feel the sea breeze and hear the surf.. it's all part of the feel of the Maine Coast.. its just great..
Excellent shot Dave, great composition!
Again you have captured one of my favorite things perfectly
this looks like a postcard- so perfect!
Wonderful capture David!

As much local politics as humanly possible. Send your tips, releases, stories, events, etc. to firstname.lastname@example.com. And get LL Daily sent straight to your inbox every morning!
The Food Truck Wars The Feds and Our Parks
Good morning sweet readers! Good news out of Maryland yesterday, where a judge dropped absurd charges of illegal wiretapping against a motorcyclist who recorded a traffic stop on his helmet camera, posted it to YouTube, and wound up having police raid his house at 6:45 a.m., being arrested and facing felony charges. The fact that so many law enforcement officials believe that it's illegal to film cops while they are acting in their official capacity is pretty frightening. News time:
Money Pit: Yesterday's big news was that the District is facing a projected $175 million budget shortfall. The main culprits: lower than expected tourist spending and capital gains revenues. CFO Natwar Gandhi delivered the grim news to a handful of councilmembers, Almost Mayor Vincent Gray, and Mayor Adrian Fenty. All eyes will be on Gray to see how he manages the news. Will he raise taxes on the wealthy, as some councilmembers have proposed? Or will he cut into the budgets of city departments, whose employees are represented by the unions that supported his candidacy? Gray didn't say one way or another, but seemed to rule out employee furloughs in this article by the Post's Nikita Stewart and Tim Craig. The Posties also note that solving this budget gap may also be a test for Almost D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown, who said he hasn't decided on whether he'd support tax increases. Finance Chairman Jack Evans is making it clear that the only real solution is to make cuts. D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute's Elissa Silverman says revenue increases "need to be part of the discussion and solution." Not happy with Gandhi's projections, natch, is his nemesis, Councilmember David Catania. Catania says Gandhi botched projections on how much the new city-owned United Medical Center is going to cost and how much Obamacare is going to save the city. "I don't understand how we can have spending pressures exist before the fiscal year has begun," Catania tells the Examiner's Ben Giles. "I'm not suggesting we don't have a budget problem, but I think we need to know the full scope of the problem before we go public." The Examiner's Harry Jaffe compares Gandhi to Superman and says Gray ought to make sure the "adult in the room" sticks around.
AFTER THE JUMP: Reax to Obama's Take on DCPS; Boat People's Future; Voting Totals ...
Well, That's True: The president made some news yesterday by saying he thinks the $60,000 a year he's paying in private school tuition for his two daughters is worth it. Obama actually said, "I'll be blunt with you: The answer is no, right now," when asked on the Today Show if he thinks his daughters could get the same kind of education at a public school that they are getting at Sidwell Friends. Kind of no-brainer, right? Isn't that the whole point of paying all that extra money? Obama also added that there are some "terrific individual schools" in DCPS, but as a whole, the schools system is "struggling." Seems reasonable, right? Well, let's all go nuts anyway. The Examiner's front page screams: Obama Disses D.C. Schools. The Post has front page story by Nick Anderson and Bill Turque which quotes Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee as saying Obama's comments were a "fair assessment." "We have indeed seen good progress over the last few years, but we still have a long way to go before we can say we're providing all children with an excellent education." A Post reporter went to the Francis-Stevens Education Campus near the White House to get comments from parents picking up their kids. The 'rents didn't seem to care. Not so in Bruce Johnson's report on WUSA9, where some parents didn't appreciate the prez's comments. NBC4's Tom Sherwood gets reaction from Gray and Washington Teachers Union president George Parker, who both said the president should know that D.C. has some great public schools, which, as it happens, is exactly what the president said. The Times also devoted a lot of ink to Obama's comments in this story by Deborah Simmons, which has a quote from D.C. State Board of Education member Mary Lord about Secretary of Education Arne "I don't do politics" Duncan: "Memo to Secretary Duncan: If you would like to move to the District of Columbia, pay taxes and vote, you're welcome... otherwise, butt out of our local politics and certainly do not make or perpetuate the impression that 'Race to the Top' is all about Michelle Rhee." An interesting thing to say to the guy who probably had a pretty big say in who received RTTT funding.
Boat People Got No Reason to Live: The Post's Derek Kravitz reports that the future of D.C.'s 150 or so "boat people" who live in the Southwest at Gangplank Marina are facing a "murky" future as developers plan a $1.5 billion transformation of the waterfront to include hotels, apartments and new shops. Developer Monty Hoffman says it's "unclear how the public marina will be incorporated into the development, but his team is looking at examples in other cities, such as Boston, New York and Seattle." LL thinks the idea of living on a boat sounds cool, and wants to know how much those houseboats cost.
Now Go Back and Double Check: The final vote tallies are in at the Board of Elections and Ethics, and hardly anything changed. The Post's Mike DeBonis reports that the addition of 9,000 more absentee and same-day registration ballots only changed the gap between Fenty and Gray by one-tenth of a percentage point. DeBonis also notes that a plan to allow absentee voters to vote via encrypted e-mail (is there an app for that?) has some people worried about the security of such a plan.
TBD's Sarah Larimer rightly notes that when public officials tell start talking about "the children" they're full of "total malarkey."

Jewellers brace up for Akshaya Tritiya, stock up gold to meet sales hike

Sutanuka Ghosal & Ram Sahgal , ET Bureau
KOLKATA/MUMBAI: Indian jewellers are in a rush to stock up their shelves in the run-up to the auspicious gold-buying day of Akshaya Tritiya on Monday, making miners in Australia and South Africa work overtime to meet the sudden surge in demand from the country.

Commodity prices crash: Golden time for buyers as everything gets cheaper

Sutanuka Ghosal , ET Bureau
KOLKATA: Gold, crude oil and a wide spectrum of materials from aluminium to zinc tumbled as weak data from China reinforced the gloomy global demand outlook, bringing good news for Indians, who relish buying precious metals and will spend less on petrol and cooking oil. Oil firms cut petrol prices by more than Rs 1 - the third reduction since last month - while jewellers are excited about a jump in demand as gold has fallen to a 15-month low of...
Why gold might yet lose its price advantage
January 13, 2013
Sugata Ghosh , ET Bureau
For centuries, demure Japanese brides with their white face make-up and painted red lips were happy with obi, a kimono sash, as a gift. De Beers changed all that in the late 1960s. An ad blitz drove the message that it's the diamond ring that symbolised the modern woman. A market was born. Decades later, a lobby of gold miners tried something similar in India. It hired the leading lady in the most-watched saas-bahu soap to run a string of ads on television and in newspapers, where the lady, by then a household name, told her adoring viewers how lucky it was to buy gold on Akshaya Tritiya â€" a holy day for Hindus and Jains.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

I've never made my own ice cream but if I were going to make one, I might start here. growing up in Florida, I ate a lot of guava: fresh, paste, turnovers, amazing cookies, etc. and guava will always have a soft spot on my taste buds.
have you ever made your own ice cream? how easy or hard is it? I've been thinking about getting an ice cream maker this summer and would love to know some tips.

Russian pro to make Christchurch home in 2013

Q: At the age of 25 you must be entering the peak of your career – What inspired you to come to New Zealand to play?
The hockey season in New Zealand starts during my holidays here in Russia. I usually play hockey with other guys in off-season to keep myself fit anyhow. Playing for the Red Devils gives me another challenge to help my new team to defend their NZIHL title as well as the whole new experience of playing in a different league, with a different environment and players. It will also help me to get ready for my next season here in northern hemisphere. And of course, trip to New Zealand is the trip of my lifetime!
Q: Import players in the NZIHL have an almost mentoring role – here to raise the level of play. How do you feel about taking on that role on the ice?
I'm very positive about this. I'll be more than happy to share my knowledge and experience with local guys and I hope it will help to lift the Red Devils up to the next level.
Q: Who are some mentors and inspirational players you've come across in your career?
I've played for quite a number of teams during my career and met lots and lots of good players, but will never forget influence of two players that I was lucky to play with. Without doubt, the first one is Jaromir Jagr who I played with over in Omsk during the 2008 KHL campaign. I was so excited just to step on ice with him and play alongside 'The Legend'! I have to say that Jaromir is a Pro! I was really impressed with his workaholic attitude; he always was the hardest working guy in every practice and even in every shift of every game and obviously he's got amazing skills.
Later on, when I moved to play in Ukraine, I met another awesome guy and great player – Andrei Nikolishin. Playing with Andrei in the same line was really good experience. Very smart guy and strong personality; Andrei really was like a mentor for me. (Andrei played 600+ NHL games and represented Russian a number of times)
I've learnt a lot from those two players and willing to share this with local guys in New Zealand.
Q: Off the ice what parts of New Zealand are you looking forward to?
I'd love to see the Pacific Ocean, whales and the beautiful New Zealand nature. I'd also like to get a taste of the New Zealand lifestyle. I love visiting new places.
Q: What do you like to do to relax?
I'm a family guy. My wife and I can just have a walk in park or go to movie. We also love travelling and that's another reason why I've chosen Red Devils. Believe or not, but I always wanted to visit New Zealand.
Q: What would you like to be doing after your time with the Red Devils?
I'm looking at possibility to sign for one of the top-European leagues. Maybe this year or next, not sure yet but I'd like to test myself in one of those leagues.

New London — "We shall overcome, we shall overcome. Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome someday."
From the mouths of about 150 people, the words of the civil rights anthem filled State Street Monday morning as public officials, clergy, city residents and others gathered to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with the 28th annual march from City Hall to Shiloh Baptist Church.
"We are joined here on Martin Luther King Day, and I hope that we have not yet become complacent," the City Council president, the Rev. Wade A. Hyslop, said on the steps of City Hall before leading the march. "Dr. King's dream will only be kept alive if we the people continue to work towards it."
"We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand today."
Led by Hyslop, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio and City Councilor Anthony Nolan, the group stretched across both lanes of the road, singing with linked arms. A police cruiser escorted the procession.
"Today, as we gather on what is a nice, warm day to be marching in our streets, we remember the warm heart of a man who spoke to us with courage," Finizio said. "He spoke to us with courage about civil rights, he spoke to us with courage about economic justice."
As the singing marchers made their way up State Street toward Huntington Street, their ranks grew. One man, who seemed surprised to stumble upon the march as he exited the Honey Plus convenience store, joined the group for a few blocks before going his own way.
"We live in a city that is very diverse, but we don't act with diversity in this city. I think it's time for us, really, to start looking at things that happen in and around our city and how we can interact with one another," said Hyslop, who is the pastor of Trinity Missionary Baptist Church.
"Black and white together, black and white together, black and white together today."
The multiracial group that marched through downtown served as affirmation that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is about more than just one man and his legacy, but is indeed a national holiday.
"I want you to understand that this is not just about people of color. I've heard many people say that Martin Luther King Day is a black holiday. Martin Luther King did a lot for every individual who is an American," Hyslop said. "We need to stop thinking that it is about black people on Martin Luther King Day, it is about everyone who is a citizen of the United States of America."
During a stop in front of the Superior Court building on Huntington Street, the march paused as the officials reflected on inequities in the justice system and offered a prayer that King's dream of racial harmony would be realized in the city's neighborhoods and schools.
"Celebrating Martin Luther King's life is not just about a moment of historical trivia," U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, said as he marched with the group on Cottage Street. "It is an opportunity to again examine his example, his thoughts and his words, and to connect them directly to what is happening right now in this country."
Upon arriving at Shiloh Baptist Church, the marchers were greeted by the Rev. Benjamin K. Watts, who then led a church service in honor of King's birthday.
As people began to fill the pews, the church's band and choir performed a spirited rendition of the song that began on the steps of City Hall, complete with a driving drum beat, a soaring electric organ and the inspired voices of many.
"We shall overcome, we shall overcome. Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome someday."

KENT, Wash. (AP) - Matt Hagan raced to his fourth victory of the year to extend his Funny Car points lead, beating Bob Tasca III on Sunday in the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways.
Hagan also outran Alexis DeJoria, Johnny Gray and Courtney Force en route to his ninth career victory.
``The chemistry of this team is something I've never had before,'' Hagan said. ``It shows on the racetrack and it trickles down from the top, where (crew chief) Dickie (Venables) is a great leader. It's phenomenal to strap into this race car and know I have the opportunity to win every time I sit in it. I like to get patted on the back as much as anyone, but this is 100 percent hats off to my team.''
Morgan Lucas won in Top Fuel, and Vincent Nobile topped the Pro Stock field.
Lucas claimed his first victory of the season and eighth of his career, knocking off David Grubnic in the final. Lucas finished in 3.908 at 296.57, while Grubnic followed in 4.253 at 256.31.
Nobile won for the second straight week and picked up his third victory of the year, beating four-time season champion Jeg Coughlin in a rematch of the final round last week in Sonoma, Calif. Nobile's posted a 6.586 at 210.54 in his Dodge Avenger, and Coughlin had a 6.615 at 210.60.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 613 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by RAM Good For The Price I have been using these weights consistently for two weeks for 4-5 times a week with a squat rack that I bought on Amazon. The weights have a good feel to them, but the paint chips really quickly from the 2" hole due to the ridges on the bar. If you're not worried about the aesthetics, these are pretty solid. The grooves for hand placement have good grip, but can be a bit rough if your hands aren't callused at all. I noticed this doing power cleans. Overall, I'd buy another set of this when my lifts are getting closer to needing multiple 45's or when my friends or fianc� join in. April 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Erin I love it Its great i love it definitely worth the money i have no complaints April 23, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jake Excellent Price, But the Weights are Non-Standard Dimensions I bought this set on sale for $199.99 along with the Fitness Gear Pro half rack. Obviously this is geared towards beginners, or people that don't have the change to drop on expensive brand name weights. For that purpose, with the price in mind, it's a heck of a deal. I've loaded the bar up with all of the included weights for deadlifts and as far as I can tell its held up pretty well. My one complaint, and one that I've seen other reviewers mention, is that the plates are fatter and shorter than regular Olympic plates. This really only matters for the 45's, because when doing movements like deadlifts, or anything that starts off the ground you're at a deficit of a little over an inch. To resolve this I just grabbed another brand's 45 lb plates that are the right height. Other than that, they're iron weight plates with a solid bar that I most definitely recommend. April 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jrjones79 Great product Picked up from store was easy and quick store employs very helpful April 22, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Melanie26 Great product Great product for home use. Just not a fan of the ridges on the bar. April 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Duayne Great value This is a good value for the lbs of weight you get. April 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by JShane High quality and great price I was very pleased with this weight set. It was on sale for $219.99, which is $100 - $150 cheaper than equivalent weights on amazon. The weights are very accurate (both of my 45 lb plates are 45.4 lbs) and grips make them easy to hold. Overall, very pleased. The bar only holds up to 300 lbs so I'll have to buy a stronger one eventually, but the weights alone are absolutely worth it. April 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Donnie Great product at a great price. Great quality at a great price. This has been a great set to get me started and then will be passed along to others interested in getting into olympic lifts. April 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jhook Great item!!! Husband and I purchased these to lift weights at home. Good quality for a great price. April 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nyetro Very nice Cast iron plates with cut out grips! Awesome price as well. April 12, 2016

I'm scared of tearing again -- should I have a c-section?
I had a bad tear during the birth of my first child a little more than a year ago. It was a third-degree tear that went right up to my anal area and took 3 1/2 months to heal fully. Now I'm four months pregnant with my second child, and my ob-gyn is offering me the choice of a planned c-section because she can't guarantee that I won't tear the same or worse this time. I'm not sure what to do -- does anyone have experience to share?

THere is a nice article about elective c section http://womenshealth.about.com/od/pregnancyrelatedissues/a/preplanCsection.htmposted 08/14/2005 by Kaliopa
Good luck!! Want some advice, do what your heart tells you. I am the same boat, I haven't been the same since I had my daughter 4 years ago. I tore bad with her. Now that I am 26 weeks pregnant with a boy, I am sooo scared. I talked to my doctor about it, and she gave me a choice. I choose c-section, and I am happy with that!!posted 08/13/2005 by shortie91200
I had a 4th degree episiotomy while giving birth to my 9 lb 3 oz daughter back in 2001. I also hemorrhaged and was very anemic after the birth. After 18 hours in labor and 3-plus hours of pushing, my OB used the vaccuum extractor, my daughter had a broken clavicle, my breast milk never came in, and I was miserable and in pain for months. I feel like I missed the first 4 months of my daughter's life. My second child will be born by cesarean on August 4th, unless she decides to come sooner...and I couldn't be more at peace about the decision. My OB has been amazed that I haven't had incontinence or needed reconstructive surgery as a result of the first delivery. After doing my own research, I asked my OB about the C section for this baby. It wasn;t pushed on me but was discussed openly and ultimately left up to me. From my perspective, the recovery associated with a planned C-section has got to be better than what I endured the first time. I encounter well-meaning people who express sorrow that I am having the Cesarean for this birth, but I am very comfortable in my decision. Every woman in a similar situation must be allowed to make her own educated decision--not based on scare tactics or horror stories. We women must support each other...always remembering that the only right way to give birth is the way that ultimately results in a healthy mom and baby.posted 07/19/2005 by evasmom01
I know exactly what you are going through. I had a 4th degree tear with my first pregnancy 2 1/2 years ago. Eventually everything healed without any complications. I am now 5 months pregnant and my doctor has strongly suggested a c-section with this delivery, due to the simple fact if I have another 4th degree I could be incontinent of my stool and gas. I do not want to wear a diaper this early in life so I have decided on a c-section. I have researched so much about c-sections and you really are able to bond with your baby as in a vaginally delivery. Of course everything has its pros and cons, but for me wearing a diaper was not something I wanted to risk. Just remember it doesn't matter if the baby comes out of your stomach or vagina you are going to love him/her so much!!posted 07/15/2005 by jmwebster
I am trying to make the same decision. I just came home from my chidlbirth ed class where she really underplayed the risks of tearing and the long term effects of sphincter injury. I have an injury from a perianal abscess/fistula repair that left me with chronic mild fecal incontinence and chronic perineal pain so that I can't go on motorcycle rides with my husband anymore and have pain after every bowel movement. The idea of having a 4th degree tear from childbirth is frightening and I am considering an elective c-section to avoid that possibility, despite knowing full well it is major surgery.posted 05/15/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
i have to say to all of you that have gone through this painfull exprireance that I am very soory.I had to be cut with my frist and that along was horible,but from what I understand it is alot better then tearing.I would see if you can be cut at the frist sign of tearing that way your body has less trama,and posibly heal easier.posted 05/05/2005 by Nonny69
i had a vaginal birth with my son, i am only 4ft 11, he was 7lb 9oz which was big for my size! the labour was only 5 hours, no pain relief and he shot out without me even pushing! ("easy" ur probably all saying! - no way) it resulted in me tearing badly and it took the doctor 1 hour 30 mins to stitch me back up (V.V.painful) i was given 2 shots of local aneasthetic and took gas & air all the way through but it didnt work and i could feel every stitch...i tore in my perineum millimeters away from my rectum, and the labia was torn almost completey in 2, it was just hanging together by a thread of skin!. im not sure to what degree the tear was but my doctor said it was the worst she had ever seen. I know it wasnt 4th degree as it didnt go all the way through my rectum...but it was close enough! Its taken 5 months to heal, i still get pain now and then and have only just been able to resume a sex life! i do want another baby, although i am terrified that i will tear again, or worse! i have thought maybe i would have a c/s next time or maybe have an epidural to slow the labour and give my perineum time to stretch??dont know if that would work? In my experience though, the stitch up process was a lot worse then the actual birth!!posted 04/18/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Well ladies I think that we are just screwed either way. The birthing process is just part of the 'curse' of being a woman. Either way we give birth, whether vaginal or c-section, is going to be painful in some way. I think that woman should be able to choose which way they want their babies to be born. After all, it is your body and which ever method of birth you think will cause you the least amount of trauma I say go for it. Being a woman is a hard job but someone has to do it. :)posted 03/20/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I agree with the "Anonymous" remark about scaring Janice with the C-section. No woman is the same. No delivery is the same. And a doctor will tell you straight up it is your decision whether or not you should have a c-section. Yes, it is true they get more money for the procedure, but in the instances I have read (having experienced a 4th degree tear myself) the doctor was simply telling them that there is no way to determine the outcome. It is YOUR decision if you are that concerned. What kind of doctor would they be if they had no regards to what you think or feel about your childbirth experience?? ONLY YOU know what it was like if you had a bad experience. Doctors advise you and give you the pros and cons of your decision. I'm scared to death of a vaginal delivery. With my first, I tore ALL the way, with an episiotomy. I couldn't walk for 4-6 weeks. Going to the bathroom was a joke. I couldn't even lay or sit comfortably at all and cried out of pain most of that time. My baby was only 5 lbs and had crowned, but was stuck. He was delivered by forceps and had no problems thank God. I'm now 35 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and asked my doctor what he thought. After looking back at the information of my first delivery, he straight up told me, the vaginal birth would go smoothly, or it won't. He has measured me and checked me, but told me it was ultimately my decision. I am going for the c-section. Yes, I'm scared. But I would be scared either way. Some women can pop children out without any meds, no tears and no episiotomies. And I think that is great. But to start putting doubt in your OBGYN by telling Janice that "be careful, the doc just wants more money"-I'm sorry, that is wrong. I'm guessing Mama Bear hasn't ever had a 3rd or 4th degree tear, let alone a c-section. I think what Janice needs, as what I had needed, is just information about the procedure. Naturally, everyone recovers differently. Everyone has different needs. I know that there are women who had a bad c-section experience and a good vaginal experience. Great. That doesn't mean Janice will. Janice, I think your decision, whatever it may be, SHOULD be based on your gut feeling. Having the experience that you did with your vaginal delivery, knowing how your body dealt with the recovery, makes you AND your doctor the only two people qualified to make your decision. Thank God we have c-sections today-many women wouldn't have their children today, let alone be alive, if it wasn't for that procedure.posted 02/09/2005 by keengirl
I am on baby two in month 5, and was asked to participate in the pilot study called CAST (c-section after Anal Sphincter Tear) and it has been an a trip. Several east coast University and Military Hospitals are conducting the study with 40 women, I am 1. At week 36 they are going to randomize me to vag or c, and that will be the study. 20 will go vag, 20 will go c, and doctors will soon know what is really better. I am indeed sorry that the results will not come in time to help any one pregant now, but this will help one day. Keep hope, there are lots of us out there with the same fear, just know that whatever happens, it will all be worth it in the end. God keep you and your babies to be.posted 01/23/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
