5 NEWS UPDATE: Fire That Destroyed New Home Believed To Be Arson
Written by Your 5News Team

5 News Update:
The State Fire Marshal's Office has told 5 News that the fire that burned down a Barbour County home last week is believed to be a case of arson.
No one was hurt, but the family was ready to move into their new home in just a few weeks. They found it on Friday morning after it burned to the ground.
Officials said when they arrived on scene the house was already gone. Anyone with information is asked to call the Barbour County Sheriff's Department.
Original Story:
A new home burned to the ground Friday morning in Barbour County. That fire is being called suspicious.
The home apparently caught fire around 2:00 a.m.. Crews received the call about the fire around 7:00 a.m. but the home had already burned to the ground by the time they arrived on scene.
A family was about to move in, but none of the utilities were hooked up yet, so it is being considered suspicious.
The State Fire Marshal's Office will investigate the scene.

Tattoo artist and reality-TV star Kat Von D knows a thing or two about bad-girl glam. If you're ready to tap into your own rebellious side, check out the Kat Von D Collection (from $16) at Sephora. From bright red "Pout out Loud" lipstick to "Black Metal Love" eyeliner, the collection is anything but subtle. We particularly like the Kat Eye Brush Set, decked out in silver stenciled roses which are modeled after Kat's favorite tattoo.

T-Mobile's MyTouch 3G and BlackBerry Gemini 8520 in live pictures
Two of T-Mobile USA's unannounced smartphones, HTC MyTouch 3G and BlackBerry Gemini 8520, have just appeared in some leaked photos, confirming the fact that they'll be soon launched by the fourth largest US carrier.
Obviously running on Android (version 1.5, more exactly), T-Mobile MyTouch 3G looks exactly as you'd expect: a slightly modified version of the HTC Magic, which is already available in Europe.
The MyTouch 3G will be released in three color versions (black, white and merlot), but we only have images with the white one:
T-Mobile should announce the new Android smartphone this summer, but there's no word yet on when exactly this will happen.
As for T-Mobile's BlackBerry Gemini 8520 (aka Curve 8520), this looks just like the unbranded 8520:
Its features should include a QVGA display, optical trackpad, Wi-Fi, a 2MP camera and quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity.
The Gemini / Curve 8520 should be out before the end of 2009, coming with a rather low price tag.

Just when you think Sean Combs could not possibly change his name again he does. Obviously more of a publicity stunt than anything else but still, this is just silly. The artist last formerly known as "Diddy" now wants to be referred to as Swag. For one week only. Okay. I'm sure for that one week most people are going to stop using the word swag. For that I say thanks to Mr. Sean, Puffy, P.Diddy, Puff, Diddy, Swag Combs.
Think he's kidding? Nope, he even set up a new twitter account @iamswag to coincide with the new week long name change. Sean or Swag in this case had this to say about the change, "I decided that I'm gonna change my name for a week in honor of my comeback," "I've gone as Puff, Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, King Combs – my real name is Sean Combs – and for a week, this week only, you can call me by my new name, Swag."
In honor of his comeback hey? Does he plan on that comeback only lasting one week? In any event I think not just the city of Milwaukee but the entire globe should be grateful that this man single handedly put an end to the over usage of the word "Swag" once and for all. Sorry to all you Diddy fans out there, he's a good guy but please write him and tell him to leave his name alone already.
What do you think of Sean "Diddy" Combs changing his name to "Swag" ? Does it actually have swag, or is it stupid? Voice your opinion, leave a comment below and be sure to subscribe to stay up to date.

A pregnant mother is often asked if she has "picked out a name yet." In the Culture of Life, every person has a name. Delaying the practice of naming until birth only reinforces the idea that we don't have a person there until birth. A name should be chosen and used as soon as one discovers she is pregnant. Until the child's gender is known, two names can be chosen — one for a boy and one for a girl. The key is the timing of the decision. The names should be chosen as soon as the pregnancy is discovered, or even before that. As soon as the gender is known, one of the two becomes definitive. Every person has a name, and that includes the unborn.

First of all, ADT is the leader in developing innovative home security monitoring technologies that are created to give homeowners in Plevna the most advanced degree of security. With the introduction of their customer monitoring centers, located in various regions across the nation and operating 24/7, ADT forced competitors to try to keep up. So when you install an ADT monitored home security alarm in Montana, you are getting equipment that's incredibly user-friendly yet highly-advanced. In addition to the standard home intrusion sensors, ADT alarms also come with the ability to detect additional hazards, such as fire and deadly carbon monoxide.
An ADT Monitored Home Security System helps provide you with the reassurance in knowing your Plevna house is under the protection of an advanced level of security technology that the majority of competitors don't provide. Because of this technology, the majority of crooks will bypass homes with a "Protected by ADT" sign.
An ADT Monitored Home Security System in Plevna, MT gives you access to features that most home alarm companies either aren't able to offer, or charge a ridiculous amount of money for. These features include a network of Customer Monitoring Centers that operate 24 hours a day and are manned by highly-trained security experts, immediate response to alarms, built-in speakerphone access to ADT, and additional layers of home protection, such as fire and carbon monoxide detection.
Due to the features that are included with an ADT Monitored Home Security System in Plevna, most homeowners incorrectly assume that such protection will cost a lot. ADT has been in the business of protecting homes for over 135 years, so they have perfected the ability to offer an advanced level of protection services at a cost that isn't going to be out of your range.
Get an ADT monitored security system in Plevna MT and help protect your family today.

I've got a homework assignment that looks something like this: (numbers changed)
$$F(x) =\int_1^x f(t) \, \mathrm{d} t$$ $$f(t) =\int_x^{t^2} \frac{\sqrt{7+u^4}}{u} \, \mathrm{d} u$$
Find $ F\;''(1) $
I changed the numbers because I don't want the answer. This seems simple but I can't wrap my head around it. Any ideas?
Edit: I entered this in completely wrong for some reason. Will the same answer still apply?

The Office for Mission was created to design, coordinate, oversee, and implement ways for all members of the university community to come to a deeper knowledge and ownership of the mission. While the mission of the university is to awaken, nurture, and empower learners to ethical lives of service and leadership, the "how" and the "why" of the mission is shaped, inspired, and guided by the university's Catholic Lasallian heritage. The Office for Mission is located on the Winona campus of the university in room 113 Vlazny Hall. The office is staffed during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.) throughout the year.

He is fondly remembered for his heroic contribution to humanity as a Christian educator, apostle to the poor and underprivileged, and advocate for justice and solidarity. With Saint Mary's Signum Fidei Award, the university recognizes an individual, group, or organization for extraordinary service to the vulnerable and marginalized members of society. It also recognizes and honors work that promotes human solidarity. The award's name, Signum Fidei or sign of faith, is taken from the great seal of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools; and it is to this international educational network that Saint Mary's University of Minnesota belongs.

Today's podcast looks at how the Conservatives can win the next election. Ed Miliband's speech seems to have focused Conservative minds onto what needs to be done to win the next election. All big political parties are, to use a well worn phrase, broad churches. While the influence of a Party's different parts tends to ebb and flow, the package of policy outcomes are normally acceptable to all. When they are not, political movements splinter, as we are seeing on the Right with UKIP. Ed Miliband's speech has had effect of uniting the right. We now understand more clearly what we are against, thus we are closer to agreeing what we are for.
Paul Goodman (Conservative Home) – The Conservatives can win the next election if the public trust Cameron's capabilities over Miliband's, even taking into account the horrendous demographics.
Ruth Porter (Institute of Economic Affairs) – Miliband's speech has galvanised the Right around the around the question of what to do about the rising cost of living.
Kate Maltby (Bright Blue) – The Conservative Party need to make sure that they focus on the common ground, and not worry about UKIP.
Carl Packman (Labour blogger) – The Conservative Party is at a crossroads, but it is still dominated by neo-liberals who are unsympathetic to workers.
Annesley Abercorn (EU candidate) – British manufacturing can be great again
Mario Creatura (Activist from Croydon) – The grassroots need to expand by doing things that actually engage people.

Overhead lights suck. It's as if some terrible person designed them specifically to cast dark shadows under our eyes. We're much fonder of gentler light sources like this Eloquence Globe Chandelier ($400). It casts a soft, sparkling glow through an orb of glittering glass crystals, which we suspect will have us looking warm and rosy as we welcome visitors.

Kelly Clarkson has a special announcement for all her fans out there! Two days ago, June 12, she and husband Brandon Blackstock gave birth to their first child together. The name? River Rose.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for any kind of news. Clarkson has been relatively quiet in the last few months of pregnancy and only a few pictures have been taken of her being pregnant. After months of Kelly's tweets of how sick she had gotten during pregnancy, the powerhouse singer-songwriter took to her Twitter account today to announce the news!
Brandon and Kelly were wed in October of last year in a small very intimate setting in Tennessee. After getting overwhelmed with planning a big wedding, they decided it was better to go small and make it a perfect day.
Blackstock is step-son to Reba McEntire. His father also happens to be Kelly's manager since 2007 when Reba took the budding star under her wing and gave her the guidance she'd need to be a woman in such a lucrative industry. The singers also went out on tour together twice, singing on stage together the entire time. Since hiring Reba's husband as her manager, Kelly has expressed how easy her job has gotten and finally has the right team of people around her that she also now calls her family.
Being pregnant didn't stop Clarkson from going into the studio. She recorded a duet with Martina McBride and recently, tweets appeared from a songwriter who had Kelly record her song.
Kelly had planned on recording two albums, but as always, as time goes by song choices change and old material generally stays that way. The Grammy winner wants to release a full country album and another pop album. But with baby Clarkson finally joining the world, plans might change! Will we see new music by the end of the year? Maybe, maybe not but she's sure going to have a new chapter in her life to write and sing about.
All we know, is that we hope River Rose gets some of her mother's extraordinary talent and maybe one day, she will carry on the "Idol" winner's legacy!
Congratulations to Brandon and Kelly in such a special moment of their lives!

The holiday season is in full swing. This time of year always seems like a good time to reflect on those things for which we are grateful. The list often includes family, friends, employment, and freedom. I would like to add to that list. I am grateful for the staff at the Utah Driver License Division.
I work for Intermountain Donor Services, and have the opportunity to meet with driver license employees from time to time. Their job is often thankless. They sometimes have to deny someone a driver license because they did not pass the eye test. Others are turned away because they do not have the correct documentation with them. They are very good at remaining calm and impartial even when the person on the other side of the counter is angry. Keep in mind, they didn't make the rules; they enforce them. By doing so, they keep us all a little safer, for which we should all be thankful.
I also appreciate that, in the midst of their busy jobs, they take time to answer questions about organ donation and direct people with questions to our website and office. In Utah, 70 percent of people age 18 to 65 are registered donors. Utah recently received a national silver medal of honor for the performance of the donor registry. The majority of people on the donor registry made that decision on their driver license or ID card. So, they are not only keeping us a little safer, they have helped save many more lives by helping get the word out about donation.
So next time you visit a driver license office, keep in mind that if there is a long wait, it is only because they are taking the time to work with others who, maybe like you, have questions or other needs. You may want to pick up a brochure and learn a little more about organ, eye and tissue donation while you wait. Or even better, go to www.yesutah.org before you go to get your driver license to get this information so it will be easy to say "yes."
So please, take an extra few seconds to say thank you and smile at the examiner who is helping you. Chances are you might be the only person to do so that day.
Dixie Madsen is the public education coordinator for Intermountain Donor Services

Kevin Love trade rumors now indicate just one team is left in the race. The Cleveland Cavaliers star in the Kevin Love trade rumors now, with all indications pointing to a deal coming with the Minnesota Timberwolves very soon. According to a report from ESPN on Thursday (July 31), "the Chicago Bulls have become increasingly pessimistic about their chances of trumping Cleveland's offer." It all means that Love could be teaming up with LeBron James again very soon.
Love and James helped Team USA win the gold medal in basketball recently, so both players are very clear on what the other one brings to the table. For fans of the Miami Heat that enjoyed how much Chris Bosh helped spread the floor for James, it would probably be even more enjoyable for how Love could do that for the Cavs. With Kyrie Irving as the point guard, though, it would clearly damage the value of all three players in the world of fantasy basketball.
The main reason that a deal between the Cavs and Wolves hasn't been completed is that Andrew Wiggins cannot be dealt just yet. He has to remain in Cleveland for at least 30 days after signing with his first team. It won't stop the No. 1 overall draft pick from going to a new team, it just forces there to be a slight delay in the action. This could temper the excitement of these latest Kevin Love trade rumors, even if it now just seems like a formality that the teams will get a deal done.
The oddsmakers already state that the Cleveland Cavaliers are the favorites to win an NBA title after acquiring LeBron James. Those odds would only get better if the team acquires an All-Star power forward. As for fantasy basketball statistics, Love won't match the numbers he had in the 2013-14 NBA season. His averages of 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds per game will take a hit, even if he does start finding more team success than he has ever had.

I am wondering what would be the best bang for my buck.
There is a price difference between the three. Is it really worth the money to pay more for the Glock or XD or would I be happy buying the Taurus?

I am wondering what would be the best bang for my buck.
There is a price difference between the three. Is it really worth the money to pay more for the Glock or XD or would I be happy buying the Taurus?
I'm a big fan of my XD45C.
Have only owned the PT145 and I like it.
I have owned the XD, the glock 27 (not the 30 but pretty much same size), and the pt-145 and I have to say the pt-145 beats them all hands down in terms of trigger, grip, accuracy, and carry comfort. I cannot speak to longevity beause I have but about 2500 rounds through each of them. I sold my XD to a friend, gave the 27 to my brother as a gift and I still own the PT.
IMHO it is not worth paying more.
I have a Kahr P45 on Lay-Away.
For me, I like Kahr. They have always been reliable and the Trigger is IMHO the best out there for a DAO Autoloader. I have a PM9 at the present time that I use as a second BUG. If the P45 is anything like the PM9 it's a winner.
I used to have a Glock 36, but it was the most unreliable 45 I ever had. My EDC, off-duty, is an N-Frame 4" Barrel .45 ACP Revolver. I have "Six For Sure" and five more in the J-Frame before I have to start thinking about a reload, or going to the second BUG.
I realize that not everyone wants to carry a BUG, or two. I personally prefer to do that. I've seen enough that I don't carry one handgun, unless it's dictated by policy.
I know it's a little on the exspensive side, but I would look at Kahr if you are seriously considering a .45 ACP for CCW.
Biker :tumbleweed:
Best bang for the money........its hard to beat the XD45.
For a compact .45 I have always preferred the S&W 4516. All stainless steel, 8 rounds including the one in the chamber. They made models 4516, 4516-1, 4516-2 and 4516-3. Mine is a 4516-2 Special Model which means the "decocker-safety lever" will only decock the hammer. It has no "safe" position, it springloads to the ready to fire position. The pistol is always ready to fire just like all my other pistols.
Had to vote for the G-30. I carry it all the time. Probably one of the most accurate handguns I own too. Just picked up a G-36 and so far has been reliable. I want to get a couple hundred more rounds thru to make sure.
I was surprised at the difference in thickness at how much better I can hide the 36. Even riding in a holster meant for the 30 , I can put it iwb just about anywere and not worry about it printing.
I am not a big fan of the XD's. Nothing against them,they shoot well and are gaining a reputation fo reliability, but I don't see the point in a grip safety on striker fired guns. Just seems like one more thing to go wrong. And believe me, Mr. Murphy and I know each other well :rolleyes:
The Taurus does have my interest though too. I thought it was a neet little gun when it came out. Wouldn't mind trying, the 145 or the 645 (?).
I think it's a pretty close tossup between Glock and XD, but I'd throw my vote to Glock. I like their grip angle better... I feel like I have better control and recovery time with it.
I'll take glock over the others any day.My experience with tarus was anything less than good.I own a springfield too just not xd.I just look
around and see how many law enforcement agencies carry glock
over all others.Cops are the hardest customers on any products
so that why I take glock.
All the pistols you brought up are great handguns. I love my Taurus, it's only a PT140, but it's the same platform. Glocks are great, just not my cup of tea. I'm also a huge fan of the XD. What feels best in your hand? What are you most comfortable with?
I have no Idea what one cost now, but I have been very Happy with my Cold Defender. But then I am a 1911 type person. Needless to say I checked other.
O.K. Here's an "other" vote for the Sig P245. Super accurate. Totally dependable. Thin enough to conceal well. Versatile in that it can sport an extended (8 round) mag if one wants a full length grip and the standard 6 round butt disappears under a shirt.

Texas Tech Breaks Into Two National Polls
Tech receives first ranking in NCBWA poll since 2005
Feb. 17, 2014
National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Poll
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech won three of four games over the weekend against third-ranked Indiana and is now starting the week in two national top-30 polls as National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and Collegiate Baseball have ranked the Red Raiders 28th and 30th, respectively.
It marks Tech's first national ranking since Mar. 12, 2012, when the Red Raiders received a No. 27 ranking by Collegiate Baseball. Tech was ranked three times during the 2012 season - its highest by Collegiate Baseball at No. 24 on Feb. 27.
The Red Raiders break into the NCBWA poll for the first time since Mar. 21, 2005, when Tech was tabbed 25th in the country.
The Red Raiders won the final three games of the series against Indiana this past weekend with a 10-5 game two win, 6-2 victory in game three and a 7-0 shutout in the series finale on Sunday.
The Texas Tech pitching staff tallied a 1.25 ERA in 36 innings of work while seven of the nine pitchers who saw action have an ERA below 2.00.
The Red Raiders were led by numerous players at the plate during their opening weekend, including sophomore infielder/outfielder Eric Gutierrez (.500, .647 OB%), sophomore outfielder Tyler Neslony (.444, HR, 6 RBI, 1.111 SLG%), junior shortstop Tim Proudfoot (.467, 3 RBI, 1.000 fielding %) and junior second baseman Bryant Burleson (.400, 4 2B, .667 SLG%) to name a few.
The Red Raiders will host Oral Roberts this weekend, Feb. 21-23, for the Brooks Wallace Memorial Series at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.

Seriously... STOP THINKING THIS WAY.
It doesn't matter how much you make per hour. What matters is that you make X profit from X materials in X auction cycles. By auction cycle I don't mean 12/24/48 hour periods, I mean how long it takes for prices to go from prime selling to prime buying during their daily/weekly/monthly/seasonal cycles. Once you start getting into how much you can make in an hour you hit a wall of random possibilities and variables.
So STOP THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH GOLD YOU MAKE PER HOUR. Instead, think about how many glyphs you sell on a weekend, or how many you sell on thursday when your most hated auctioneers compete with you. Think about how much gold you make after a week of selling pygmy oils or netherweave bags. Think about how many flasks of endless rage you can sell on a busy raid night a half hour before most guilds raid.
I hope this opens a few eyes. Making gold on the stockmarket or wow auction house are not measured in hourly amounts for a reason. There are just too many variables to decide just how much you can make in an hour. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't, but if you are persistent you will make a consistent amount of gold doing whatever you do.
Seriously... STOP THINKING THIS WAY.

I completely agree, the amount of money I make in both places varies.
I'm sort of getting the feel for the best days to sell certain items on Bronzebeard (created toons on there almost two months ago) and started actively playing the AH on that server a few weeks ago.
I logged on WOW this morning and saw that someone in trade was leaving the server. I got a lot of cloth 75% off the normal price, also snagged up a lot of Northrend herbs too for a similar deal. I got lucky in that case.
I definitely agree that consistency is very important.
Indy said... October 17, 2009 at 9:16 AM
An interesting perspective. I think the reason people tend to think of 'gold per hour' is that spending time on the AH directly competes with farming -- mobs, herbs, ore, etc -- the various methods of which are fairly well represented by average 'gold per hour'.
So, a rational person looking to maximize his income needs to consider the opportunity cost of working the AH, really.
Peter said... October 17, 2009 at 9:49 AM
I think Indy explained it fairly good. If people reliably have 3x hour every week to spend at the AH, they want to know exactly how much profit they can expect comparing to the profit they can get from, say, 3 hours of farming. And gold/hour does this very well.
However, the problem being, as you mention, is that it can vary widely depending on a lot of factors.
I myself use a gold/hour estimate comparison. From that I know the making and selling rods return me far greater profit/hour than the saronite shuffle. That doesn't mean that I can make more money, but it helps me prioritize when I don't have time to do everything I want.
Wow, I completely disagree. For me, making gold is a means to other ends. So, I want to make as much gold, with as little time investment as possible. I understand your point - that you won't be making a steady x amount of gold every hour, and that at a certain point investing more time (per week or within a cycle) won't yield more gold.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that determining the optimal use of your time is a simple function of comparing gold_made/time_invested for the different options.
Even if you have huge swings in your gold/hour, you can still calculate (or give an indication of) how much gold you make per hour as an average. And if you want to hit home the principles that you are really describing, drop a standard deviation and a graph of diminishing returns along with your reply.
I need to disagree- gold per hour is perfectly relevant to traders. If I can increase my profits on enchanting mats by grinding saronite, I'm increasing profits at the expense of my time. If I can buy inks instead of milling them myself, that will cost me money (assuming I can buy herbs for the same price as my supplier), but will gain me time I could be using to craft for another type of market.

Both sides have great points!
Anonymous said... October 17, 2009 at 12:41 PM
I love it when people say they make 3000g an hour grinding mobs after they sell everything on the AH... Selling stuff on the AH isnt instant. You do need to look at how much you make in a cycle. If I put 200g worth of bags on the AH, and they sell, sure, I could say it only took me x minutes to make the bags and logged out, but you also have to take into account that other people will undercut you, so you wont always be "selling instantly". In a business, you don't go by the profit of a good day, you go by quarterly earnings. A quarter being a cycle.
Onewing said... October 17, 2009 at 7:50 PM
This is the same style of argument against using an addon like GearScore for PUGing raids. The overall argument is accurate, but the application of the argument is not.
Gold/Hr and Gearscore both give an overview of a situation. They provide information. No, you should not use Gold/Hr as the measure of how good a gold maker you are in the game, just like you should not use Gearscore to measure how good of a raider you are.
But it still information and it is still useful. The world does not work like Kant's Categorical Imperative. Just because you cannot apply something to all situations doesn't mean it does not have a valid use. Gearscore is immensely valuable when PUGing an instance. The reason it gets a bad rap is because people use it wrong.
Gold/Hr is immensely valuable when evaluating time spent farming a material vs gold spent buying it on the AH (this is where I use G/hr the most). The reason G/hr gets a bad rap is because people use it as an e-peen. And just like when talking about their real penises, they have a tendency to greatly exaggerate and forget that the size isn't always what matters.
Wait, did I just take it too far?
Markco said... October 19, 2009 at 11:27 AM
Excellent comment!
Bill said... October 19, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Measuring gold/hour is like measuring weight loss. Or DPS. Its valuable to understand your gold/hour, as long as you calculate it appropriately. Don't "step on the scale" at the wrong interval.
All these measurements can assist you in getting better in your given task. You just need to understand what they mean. And over what period.
ShAgGy said... October 19, 2009 at 5:50 PM
I completely agree with this, i actually think the same way about real life xD.
Pythos said... October 19, 2009 at 11:39 PM
Lots of good points were made in this little debate.
One thing I'd like to add though is that the term gold/hour is somewhat different for different people. It depends mainly on how you play, or how much time you have on your hands.
For example, I play 3-4 hours a day on a good day. Out of that, I spend 30 minutes sorting out my AH sales (gems, savory fish etc). When I'm traveling, I'll be lucky if I can log on for 10 minutes, let alone go farming. My playtime is not spent on farming, its spent on pvp, heroics with friends or the odd short raid (VoA, Ony). On an average day I could probably get 100-200g sales (revenue, not pure profit) from gems. So with 30 minutes time investment, does that mean I get 400g/hour?
What some seem to forget is that AH is a way for you to earn gold WITHOUT actual effort. Sure you have to prepare and craft things, but you don't have to be actually *farming* in order to gain that 400g/hour. I can be doing things I find fun (which is purely subjective) while still earning gold. The only dailies I do regularly are the JC daily because it takes less than 10 minutes. I only do argent dailies when I feel bored.
The good part is that I still have enough gold income to support all my character's needs such as enchants and gems, without farming. So for me, gold/hour is irrelevant, as I casually play my character whenever I can. But I can see how its relevant for more hardcore players who have the choice between farming and playing the AH, so I guess its an important tool for everyone.

Organization is a word that not many people like to hear while they are working inside of the home or outside of the home. I think I get so anxious about my home because there are four of us and that equals a lot of chaos. I have come to the conclusion that when I am organized, my days run a lot smoother. Of course, I have a one year old and a three year old, so my days are always VERY unpredictable. I wanted to take some time to share with you some ways that I stay organized while running my own content business.
Write down your to do list
I prefer to write down my to-do list because then it is right in front of my face all day. Sometimes I will open up an excel sheet and just list everything I need to do. Some people prefer to use task websites that help them check off tasks as they get done. Google has a task list attached to the email. Just a few are:
All of these are free and great tools to use while you jot down your to do list. I have to keep in mind that there are tasks besides working that I need to keep track of and these tools help me along the way.
Do as much as you can the night before
My mom always taught me to lay out my school clothes the night before. I kind of carry that idea with me about everything. If I have somewhere to go the next day, I try to pack my bags beforehand. The same goes for clothing, I always lay out clothing before if I have somewhere important to go the next day. I also try to tidy up my house the night before, so I don't have to spend as much time cleaning in the morning. Just think of all the little things you can do to help make your next day a lot smoother.
- Set out frozen meat the night before.
- Start a load of laundry before you go to bed.
- Start an outline of a project before you call it a night.
- Put up a few marketing ads before you go to bed.
Take care of yourself as much as you can
This is one area I need to be more proactive about. I have decided that I am more organized when I am refreshed and taking good care of myself. I have been eating healthy and exercising more and that has helped my days run a lot smoother. As hard as it is to do, try and do one thing for yourself each day so you have enough energy to get through the day and stay organized!
Good luck and please share your methods for staying organized while working at home!

Building an inexpensive container fountain is something we've all thought of doing. The sound of water tumbling down the rocks in a container fountain is so soothing. An inexpensive container fountain is hard to find. Luckily, building a quick and inexpensive container fountain using just a few items is easier than one might think.
You'll need a small fountain pump.
These can be purchased at home improvement stores. The smaller ones are quite affordable. If the plan calls for building a container fountain over a foot high, a more powerful pump may be needed. Check the label on the pump prior to purchase for sizing.
Check the length of the tube.
When purchasing the fountain pump, be sure the flexible plastic tubing that comes with it is long enough to go from the bottom to the top of the fountain. Building a larger container fountain may require more length. If more length is needed, purchase the next size up so that it can slide onto the other one and continue in length. You will also need hose repair tape or plumbers epoxy to seal any gaps. These are available at building supply stores as well.
A waterproof fountain container will be needed.
This can be anything the imagination comes up with. I like to use an inexpensive glass container for a delicate fountain look. Free is the most inexpensive option for a container so check around the house before buying one. Look for something with a fairly wide top opening to avoid spillage.
You'll also need an assortment of rocks.
For building a smaller container fountain, check craft supply stores for small inexpensive bags of river rocks. Rocks for building a larger container fountain can be found at home improvement stores, landscape supply stores or in the back yard.
Follow this step by step procedure for building a container fountain:
1. Fill the container base chosen completely with water. This step is to check for leaks. Do this in the sink or bathtub to lessen the mess. If the container chosen is not waterproof, another one will have to be found, prior to building.
2. Set your container in the permanent fountain location. It may be too heavy to move once you are done building. This is especially important with a glass container fountain. The rocks are heavy. The glass may shatter from the weight if the fountain is moved after building.
3. Center the inexpensive fountain pump on the bottom of the container fountain. Push gently on the suction cups to adhere them to the surface. Do not glue the pump to the fountain as it will need to be removed for cleaning and maintenance. The fountain cord should face the back of the fountain so it can't be seen. Just loop it over the back so it hangs down freely outside the container fountain. If there's an on/off switch on the fountain pump itself be sure it is in the on position before adding the rocks to the fountain. Plug it in once the fountain is built.
4. Check the flexible plastic tubing to see that it will extend all the way to the top of the container fountain. If not, this is the time for adding the hose extension mentioned above. Once the two pieces of tubing are pushed together, wrap them tightly with the hose repair tape to seal gaps. Plumbers epoxy can also be used for this sealing job.
5. Begin piling rocks up around the container fountain pump and filling the fountain. As the rocks are added, be sure the tubing remains centered. Rocks should be stacked so as to allow water flow to the pump. Continue stacking rocks until they come about two inches from the fountain top. The rocks should be used to conceal the obvious appearance of the electrical cord.
6. In the center of the fountain build up a small pile of rocks in a decorative fashion for the water to cascade down. The flexible tubing should be centered and concealed in the pile. Cut the flexible tubing off even with the top of the rock pile.
7. Fill the inexpensive container fountain about ¾ of the way with water. To keep away pond scum, add a cap full of chlorine bleach. Pets and small children may be inclined to drink from the fountain. If you have pets or small children, omit the bleach.
8. Plug in the fountain. It may take a moment to prime. When the pump starts working, it may be necessary to rearrange the rock pile for the flow or pattern of flow desired. Now stand back and enjoy the new inexpensive water feature you are responsible for building all on your own!

Set amid the botanical garden area of Springfield, Illinois Washington Park is a lovely statue, the Angel of Hope.
With the widespread wings visitors are drawn to the beauty of the statue and it is not until you are next to it that the significance of the statue comes to light. The bronze angel, the only one of its kind located in central Illinois, has a child's face.
Built in 2008 by the Springfield Angel of Hope, a Non-Profit Group founded by parents who have lost a child, they raised all the necessary funds to pay for and install the angel statue. While the angel in Washington Park is the only in central Illinois there are nearly 100 Angel of Hope Statues in other communities across the country with seven others in the state of Illinois
Dedicated in October 2008 the event drew nearly 700 people to this special the angel that measures 4'3" tall and has a wingspan of 5'2". With some careful observation, you can read that the angel even has the word "HOPE" written on the angel's right wing. The Angel of Hope foundation has over 600 area children's names the names on a Memorial Wall behind the angel statue. The dedication ceremony ended with the release of white doves.
The website shares, "Situated in a beautiful natural setting, the Springfield Angel of Hope Statue provides a peaceful place for grieving, remembering, and healing. The children whom the angel statue commemorates should be playing, working, and living in our community - now they will be honored at the Springfield angel statue site for generations to come."
The story behind the angel is a touching one. The original Angel of Hope Statue is located in Salt Lake City Utah and was modeled after the statue from the book The Christmas Box, a worldwide best-selling story by author Richard Paul Evans who wrote about a woman who mourned the loss of her child at the base of an angel monument.
Facts show that the story that while fiction did describe a statue that once existed but was later destroyed in a flood. The Angel of Hope website said that when grieving parents were seeking out the angel as a place to remember their own children that the author Richard Paul Evans commissioned a new angel statue.
While the statue is a draw to anyone visiting the park, each year the public is invited to attend a 30 minute candlelight remembrance ceremony on December 6 at 7 p.m. at the Angel of Hope Statue. Candles are lit and attendees often bring a white flower to place at the base of the angel statue in memory of their children.

Chicken Salad (and a giveaway)
A few years ago I discovered Patsy's Chicken Salad. It opened my eyes to the use of dried cranberries and poppy seeds in my chicken salad, and I've never turned back. It takes a normal chicken salad over the edge. Over the years, I've sort of adapted it to my own so I don't have to look up the recipe every time I make it. Sometimes I add apples, sometimes grapes, sometimes nuts. Just depends on my mood.
- 1 large chicken breast, cooked
- 1/2 apple (I used Fuji, but Granny Smiths are great too)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup fat free plain yogurt
- salt and pepper to taste
- Chop the chicken breast into small bite-size pieces. Combine with all other ingredients. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors mesh and the cranberries will plump a bit.
The name says it all…these crackers are CRUNCHY. You can't eat these things quietly. I wasn't sure how these would be since the first thing I noticed was that they're gluten-free. Gluten-free stuff tends to have a strange texture sometimes, but these are just like "normal" crackers. My husband even got upset when I insinuated I might bring some to work to share. I believe the exact quote was, "I'm not sharing!"

Attention Hoosier Employers, HR Personnel and CPA's
This year you will notice a decrease in the amount you must pay the federal government in Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) premiums. This is due to the fact that in the fall of 2015, the State of Indiana repaid in full the unemployment insurance trust fund loan from the federal government, which was incurred during the Great Recession. As a result, FUTA taxes paid in 2016 will be $42 per employee, instead of $168 per employee.

Making profitable and efficient wind energy accessible
As the high wind speed sites across the world become saturated the focus has shifted to providing efficient wind turbine solutions that operate at a lower wind spectrum. Suzlon's S9X wind turbines meet these needs.
Taking into consideration the stated dynamics of wind energy, Suzlon has created the S9X suite of turbines - S95 and S97, with a 2.1 MW rating for all markets, which is an evolutionary advancement over the successful S88 wind turbine. The S9X's design starts with the current S88, boasting over 4,100 MW of installed capacity in 11 countries and globally averages over 97% availability, making it Suzlon's most robust turbine until now.
Key inclusions in the S9X design are:
1. DFIG converter featuring variable speed2. Larger swept area with rotor diameters; 95 and 97 meters3. 80-meter, 90-meter and 100-meter hub heights

The annual Baseball Winter Meetings got into full swing Monday in Lake Buena Vista, FL. While the Cubs made a number of roster moves last week, speculation was that there wouldn' be too many moves made this week, And there weren't. This then begs the question, are the Baseball Winter Meetings even relevant anymore?
According to an article in the Tribune by Paul Sullivan, these meetings are not that relevant anymore. In the article, Sullivan cites both Hoyer and Chicago White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn as saying that in this day and age of modern technology, information is passed via text and email, which is much quicker than phone calls or waiting to talk in person, which may explain the flurry of activity last week, leading up to the winter meetings.
The Winter Meetings traditionally have been the time when general managers could get together and discuss players and potential trades in person. And while there's still somewhat of a need for face-to-face communication, it appears it is less important than when the Winter Meetings began, thanks mostly to modern electronics.
In fact, as the winter meetings wrap up today, the Cubs so far have made one deal, and that was not announced until this morning. The Cubs traded Brian Bogusevic to the Miami Marlins for Justin Ruggiano. Both men are outfielders. It is said that not only has Ruggiano played all three outfield positions, but he also hits better on the road, or outside the Marlins home park.
There is still speculation on online forums that Jeff Samardzija will be traded, though when asked Epstein told reporters that there was "no trade imminent" and that Samardzija had been given three options, sign an extension, be traded or stay for now. At this point, Epstein has said that Samardzija will be the Opening Day pitcher.
In one other bit of news from the Winter Meetings, The Major League Baseball Rules Committee has ruled to ban collisions at home plate, forcing players to slide instead of run over the opponent's catcher. This is in response to fears of concussions and major injuries like those suffered a couple of years ago by San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey. The Players Union is expected to approve the ruling.

Technical Article: Oracle Magazine Java Developer of the Year Adam Bien on Java EE 6 Simplicity by Design
By Janice J. Heiss on Jan 06, 2011
From the article:
"Java EE 6 consists of a set of independent APIs released together under the Java EE name. Although these APIs are independent, they fit together surprisingly well. For a given application, you could use only JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0, you could use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.1 for transactional services, or you could use Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) with Java Persistence API (JPA) 2.0 and the Bean Validation model to implement transactions."
"With a pragmatic mix of available Java EE 6 APIs, you can entirely eliminate the need to implement infrastructure services such as transactions, threading, throttling, or monitoring in your application. The real challenge is in selecting the right subset of APIs that minimizes overhead and complexity while making sure you don't have to reinvent the wheel with custom code. As a general rule, you should strive to use existing Java SE and Java EE services before expanding your search to find alternatives."

Oracle Provider for OLE DB in Oracle8i Release 3 (126.96.36.199.0)
Features Overview
August 2001
Product Summary
Introduced in Oracle8i Release 2, the Oracle Provider for OLE DB gives ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) developers high performance and efficient access to Oracle databases. Because it is a native OLE DB provider, it offers data access optimizations and access to Oracle-specific database features, such as support for LOBs, PL/SQL stored procedures, and REF CURSORs. All these Oracle features and data access optimizations are generally not available in other third-party Oracle OLE DB providers. By adhering closely to the latest Microsoft OLE DB specification, the Oracle provider allows ADO developers to take full advantage of OLE DB without having to sacrifice use of Oracle database functionality.
Oracle7, Oracle8, and Oracle8i database servers can all be used in conjunction with the Oracle OLE DB provider.The latest features in the Oracle8i Release 3 OLE DB provider are highlighted in this paper.
The Oracle Provider for OLE DB was built to improve data access performance and reliability for ADO developers. It enhances performance by using direct Oracle8 Call Interface (OCI) connections, rather than utilizing ODBC as a bridge to OCI. Figure 1 demonstrates typical data access using the OLE DB-ODBC Bridge.
Figure 2 shows data access using the Oracle provider.
Oracle's data access strategy has been built to handle the high-volume, high-load of Internet application environments. The Oracle Provider for OLE DB leverages Oracle's proven Internet infrastructure to ensure a highly reliable, fast-performing and secure data access.
The Oracle Provider for OLE DB supports the following features:
New Features in Oracle8i Release 3
New features in the latest OLE DB Provider include:
The Oracle Provider for OLE DB provides high performance and reliable access to Oracle databases for ADO- or OLE DB-enabled applications. Current ADO and OLE DB programmers should be able to easily migrate to the Oracle provider since it complies with the latest OLE DB and ADO specifications and allows access to Oracle-specific features.

Lowell, MA show presale?
So, the tour list says that the pre-sale for Lowell starts today, but it does not come up on Chrome, IE, nor my iPhone, even with "cookies allowed". Does anyone know when the pre-sale will actually be up and available? I'm hoping to at least make this show since we were shut out on Birthday Bash tix (but going to Cabo anyway!)....

"Black Lightning, Year One - Part 5"
Writer: Jen Van Meter
Penciller: Cully Hamner
Inker: Cully Hamner
Reviewed by: Neal Bailey
Tanner, in Black Lightning's costume, fights the hero in front of an unmarked police cruiser. A policeman sees the pair. Back at the apartment, Tanner takes off the outfit. A gang member outside the house sees Black Lightning, who offers a message to his boss.
The sorcerer realizes his rituals are not working, and is perplexed that Black Lightning isn't Jefferson Pierce. He is weak with the city finding hope, and commands Tobias Whale to bring Tanner before him before realizing there are other ways.
Jefferson helps students fix the field, installing a new sign and then sending the kids to class. He calls his wife in Chicago with news that the 100 have bought the land the school is on. She suggests trying to get the state to object to the purchase in court.
Black Lightning attacks Tanner and his crew while they extort money from a woman with a broken arm. Lighting apologizes for attacking Tanner when the rest of the crew is taken down, and asks why they're buying the school. Tanner thinks it's the upcoming track meet.
The Whale orates at said track meet, and when he's finished, he hangs Jefferson a picture of Tanner tied up and bloodied. Black Lightning makes for Tanner, but Superman stops him (Clark was reporting on the track meet) and tells him the magic is growing more powerful at the track, sending him back while Superman takes care of Tanner.
At the meet, people start to hallucinate creatures. Black Lightning tries to stop them, and with Henderson's help manages to stave off the chaos before it grows too grim.
Over Henderson's narration about how the city slipped into its chaos because of the creature's influence, Black Lightning takes a bullet meant for two track athletes. The athletes rally to protect him as the creature moves to make Lightning his new host.
A paramedic patches Lightning just in time for him to attack the creature as Superman returns bearing Tanner. Superman punches the creature, but the creature turns into a whiff of smoke and disappears.
Tanner leaves to be with Connie, and Black Lightning resolves to defeat the creature.
Story - 5: These are the longest summaries I've had to write since Infinite Crisis, and for a reason. There's just ten different kinds of awesome and detail packed onto every single page of this. I can honestly say I feel like I'm a part of this neighborhood... literally.
The creature, the sapping thing that takes a community's identity away from it, is one of the most poignant and relatable metaphors in a comic I've read since the anthropomorphic Gog, and one of the best I've seen in comics. I have the singular issues, but I'm gonna buy the trade of this, because it's a repeat read.
The family feel, the subtle things (like the building behind the phone conversation to indicate Chicago, done so well), to Clark in the background without them saying, "HEY, KIDS! LOOK! SUPERMAN!" Using the character because it's, you know, part of the story! Amazing.
It's awesome to see the creature weakened by a community in harmony, and heroic to see Pierce take a bullet so readily. All of that power, and he's still a human, and this book isn't afraid to show that. In fact, it shows it so well that you care deeply for all involved.
I want the Whale in the main DCU. He's that much of a slimebucket, provided he isn't dead by the end of next issue.
There are few books that I feel like it's my privilege to review them, mostly because the act of creation necessitates that it's our privilege to read. In this case, however, I'm quite the opposite. My life would be worse without this experience. That's rad.
Art - 5: Cully continues to knock it out. Subtle character nuance coupled with a real sense of distinction for each and every scene. That creature is just hands-down bloody well creepy.
I also particularly enjoyed the scene where Tanner plays Black Lightning, because you can tell, looking at it, that he'd pass, but it's still obviously Tanner, as it would be in real life. That was pulled off exceptionally well.
Cover Art - 5: A symbolic representation of most of the issue's practical dilemmas, with the oddness of seeing Pierce fighting himself in costume. Intriguing, and a great cover.

Today, I want to share some words from someone who inspired and encouraged me from the very beginning. But first let me share a bit of our story…
When I started photography, I never really felt that I fit in, especially within the photography forum I regularly visited and participated in. I was never a popular one; I would post something and if I was lucky, I would get one comment. I felt that my work was different and I just couldn't grasp my head around everything…wondering why? Why didn't anyone like my work? Was I on the right path?
And then, eight months after I began photography, I attended Cheryl Jacob Nicolai's workshop and part of the workshop was a portfolio review. I was scared to death! I prefaced the review with, "I know my work is different than everyone else's" and apologized. She reviewed my portfolio and shared with me that it was okay to be me. That it was okay to be different. To just keep doing what I'm doing and not worry about anyone else. She reassured me that MY path was the right track. And…that's exactly what I did. Here I am, five years later, proud to be different (not only photography, but life in general).
Words Every Aspiring Photographer Should Know
Style is a voice, not a prop or an action. If you can buy it, borrow it, download it, or steal it, it is not a style. Don't look outward for your style; look inward.
Know your stuff. Luck is a nice thing, but a terrifying thing to rely on. It's like money; you only have it when you don't need it.
Never apologize for your own sense of beauty. Nobody can tell you what you should love. Do what you do brazenly and unapologetically. You cannot build your sense of aesthetics on a consensus.
Say no. Say it often. It may be difficult, but you owe it to yourself and your clients. Turn down jobs that don't fit you, say no to overbooking yourself. You are no good to anyone when you're stressed and anxious.
Learn to say "I'm a photographer" out loud with a straight face. If you can't say it and believe it, you can't expect anyone else to, either.
You cannot specialize in everything.
Know your style before you hang out your shingle. If you don't, your clients will dictate your style to you. That makes you nothing more than a picture taker. Changing your style later will force you to start all over again, and that's tough.
Accept critique, but don't apply it blindly. Just because someone said it does not make it so. Critiques are opinions, nothing more. Consider the advice, consider the perspective of the advice giver, consider your style and what you want to convey in your work. Implement only what makes sense to implement. That doesn't not make you ungrateful, it makes you independent.
Leave room for yourself to grow and evolve. It may seem like a good idea to call your business "Precious Chubby Tootsies"….but what happens when you decide you love to photograph seniors? Or boudoir?
Remember that if your work looks like everyone else's, there's no reason for a client to book you instead of someone else. Unless you're cheaper. And nobody wants to be known as "the cheaper photographer".
Gimmicks and merchandise will come and go, but honest photography is never outdated.
It's easier to focus on buying that next piece of equipment than it is to accept that you should be able to create great work with what you've got. Buying stuff is a convenient and expensive distraction. Spend money on equipment ONLY when you've outgrown your current equipment and you're being limited by it.
Learn that people photography is about people, not about photography. Great portraits are a side effect of a strong human connection.
Never forget why you started taking pictures in the first place. Excellent technique is a great tool, but a terrible end product. The best thing your technique can do is not call attention to itself.
Never compare your journey with someone else's. It's a marathon with no finish line. Someone else may start out faster than you, may seem to progress more quickly than you, but every runner has his own pace. Your journey is your journey, not a competition. You will never "arrive". No one ever does.
Embrace frustration. It pushes you to learn and grow, broadens your horizons, and lights a fire under you when your work has gone cold. Nothing is more dangerous to an artist than complacence.
I hope that you love Cheryl's words as much as I do. And always remember to embrace your differences; it's what makes you you and your photography special.

How to be a Good Caregiver, Tips From a Patient
Published Jan 30, 2014
By Renee Hoskin
Learning from the tips and tricks of professionals is always helpful, especially when offering care to a friend or family member. As a care management organization, we often solicit advice from our clients and others living with complex chronic conditions on how their family members can better support them. Below is a round-up of tips from people living with RA on how you can be the best RA caregiver.
Be patient. One thing that could make you the best RA caregiver is to remember that you must have patience with your loved one. When walking, it can take a minute to get their joints warmed up enough to start moving, or they may forget the best ways to cope with the pain. Be patient with your loved one, and they will be more willing to listen to your advice.
Slow down and rest together. Something as simple as walking can be incredibly tiring for someone living with RA. Remind your loved one to slow down and rest often, and reinforce this behavior by slowing down and resting yourself. You can be the best RA caregiver for your loved one by simply staying by their side, even when all they need is a nap.
Learn about health resources and carry medications. It can be difficult for those living with RA to remember every single pain remedy they are supposed to follow, and flair ups can happen at any time. One way to ensure that you are being the best RA caregiver is to remember to carry anti-inflammatory and pain killers with you, in case they forget.
You should also remember that people living with RA often take mediations for other conditions. For example, RA can pose threats heart health and a heart-specific care management program might help them cope.
Plan ahead. Running errands can be very difficult when energy is low, or when suffering through a flair-up. An easy way to ensure you are being the best RA caregiver is to plan outings ahead of time. Is it slippery outside? Ensure your loved one is dressed warmly, and with the right type of shoes. Are you walking to the store? Try to get the most labor-intensive part of the day done first. Planning ahead can help reduce the risk of RA pain, and ensure your outing goes as smoothly as possible.
Eat together. Just like the rest of us, people living with RA often have plenty on their mind, and they may not always remember to eat the right foods. If you want to be the best RA caregiver, be a partner in eating. Know which foods might help lower RA inflammation and reduce pain, and always eat healthy foods when you are together – including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, olive oil, and fish – that may help both of you feel better overall.

Baby Honey Gourami
When I went to go clean my aquarium I noticed my honey gourami male was guarding some baby fish. Can I clean the aquarium sand without replacing a lot of water so that I don't disturb the bubble nest? It's a 55g tank and the other fish are 12 harlequin rasboras and 2 female gourami. I don't really plan on breeding these little guys, but I don't want to completely ruin their chances of survival either :)

Don't know about your question but if you want hem to survive hard boil a egg and put just yolk in a small plastic container and add alittle bit of water so it becomes like a paste and feed small amount to babys every day sometime twice a day and make sure to put some live plants that they can hide in under the bubble nest planted in gravel depending on plant but it has to be live or they won't get enough food to survive
Yeah you could take less out to keep the nest from being disturbed.Increasing your biodiversity increases your stability.
You know what this tank needs? ........................ Crypts.

Thanks. I'm debating whether or not I want to try to raise them because I'm moving in 3 weeks and I doubt they would be big enough to survive the trip.
they grow quite fast though. If you get them to survive the first few weeks they get much tougher. The biggest challenge for the first weeks is getting the tiny fry to feed. my honey gourami breeding tank is where I squeeze out the sponges of the other tanks, to provide the young ones with micro-organisms.

The only way I could think of to do this is to replace $h$ by some function $f(h)$ such that $[x+f(h)]^2+1=[x+g(h)]^2$ and this would get rid of one of the square roots, but I was not able to find $f(h)$ .
