If you are under age 30, gee thanks.
Your demographic voted 2-1 for Barack Obama. It was the largest demographic margin he had. Had the under 30 vote split evenly, Obama would not have had a second term.
Do you have any idea what is in store for America and you? You may not like it.
As a baby boomer, I have to laugh at what you have done. I have lived long enough to understand a few things. If you are under 30, you may not yet have realized the old truism, "the older I get, the smarter my parents got."
When I was 21, we were faced with a President almost as bad as Barack Obama. His name was Jimmy Carter. My first vote for President helped to send him packing. Of course the Republicans nominated Ronald Reagan. This year, the GOP offered you Mitt Romney.
As bad as Romney was, Obama was worse.
There is an old saying, "you have sown the wind. Now you will reap the whirlwind."
Democrat policies are going to make your generation the first generation in American history that will not be better of than their parents.
The left has pushed student loans as a method of financing your college. By taking all market controls out of the loan process, not only has it allowed massive inflation in the education sector which is driving the cost of your education beyond any reasonable point of return, it is also making it possible for students and banks to make insanely stupid decisions.
You can currently borrow $200,000 to get a degree that will net you a job that will pay you only $30,000 a year. Sure you can go spend $150,000 to get a degree in feminist studies at some Ivy League college but where the hell are you going to work?
On a Starbucks salary, you are not even going to be able to pay the interest, let alone the principle. Thanks to another "rock star" Democrat President, under most circumstances, you cannot discharge student loans in bankruptcy.
So as you enter your career, thanks to Democrat policies, you will be saddled with massive debt. What little you make from your entry-level job is going to have to cover your expenses plus you will have to make some kind of payments on those loans.
Do you need or want a new car? Forget it. Your credit will be destroyed. Save for a new car? Good luck. Your next car will probably be a previously exploded 1976 Ford Pinto.
Most people my age bought their first house in their twenties. Thanks to not only the student loan debacle but also the housing bubble that was brought about by Barack Obama's party, you will be lucky if you are able to buy your first house in your forties.
During the campaign, Paul Ryan made a great quote about kids still living with their parents at age 26. Forget 26, how about 36 or even 46?
Thanks to the provisions of Obamacare, many companies are slashing their employees' hours so they are now part-time employees. The new future for many of you will be putting together several part time jobs just so you can make ends meet. If you are among the lucky few who have a high demand job, you will possibly be able to get ahead. You will get the forty-hour work week, the insurance and the other benefits. For a majority of you, that will not be happening.
Like living with Mom and Dad? Let's hope Mom and Dad have room for you. Multi generational housing in many cases is going to become the new norm. If you get married, it won't be just a matter of will he or she say yes. It will also be, does Mom and Dad mind if you and your new spouse live with them.
Do you want to start a family? Again, it will become more of a family decision than just a decision between the two of you.
Obama's latest plan is the one that really makes me laugh at you. You see, if you are under 30, congratulations. You just became my generation's cash cow.
The Obama Regime wants to nationalize Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) and replace them with a government sponsored retirement plan.
Given how well Social Security and Medicare have been run, you should be terrified.
The leading edge of the baby boom generation turned 66 this year. The trailing edge will turn 50 next year. There are more of us and we vote in greater numbers than you.
Democracy's great Achilles heel is that sooner or later the people discover they can vote themselves benefits from the Treasury. Unfortunately this spells the beginning of the end for Democracy.
When we boomers start getting this government retirement system, do you know what is going to happen? Politicians already recognize the value of our votes. Every two years, they are going to come to us and promise us more and more lavish retirement benefits. All we have to do is vote for them.
An overwhelming majority will.
And every two years, we will be treated to the commercials claiming the Republicans are going to throw old people off the cliff. The Democrats always like to claim that Republicans are going to leave old people on the streets to starve and freeze. Why do they do that? Because that kind of advertising works.
So there will be an ever-growing government pension entitlement that someone will have to pay for. Since the people drawing the retirement won't be working, guess who that leaves?
The baby boomers are a unique generation. We are taking better care of ourselves. Our "youth" is lasting longer than previous generations. We will smash life expectancy records.
In his book, Physics of the Future, renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku predicts that we are just a couple of decades away from some great medical breakthroughs that could extend life expectancies by decades.
If you are under thirty now, you could be in your seventies and still paying for us baby boomers.
This is what you got by reelecting Barack Obama.
There is an old saying, "you get the government you deserve."
In this case, that saying has never been truer.

The Obama Regime wants to nationalize Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) and replace them with a government sponsored retirement plan.>>
Can anyone find a credible source that Obama wants to nationalize private retirement accounts?
They been floating that idea for a year or so.
I heard that when he first got in office four years ago. Do not recall the sources, if there were any.
Charles, He doesn't have to nationalize our private retirement accounts in order to steal from us. Effectively, our IRA's, 401K's, etc., are already being "nationalized" and pilfered from by the "federal government". It is being done by a process whereby the Federal Reserve "creates" new money and then the new money, by one path or another, makes its way to the Treasury where it is used to purchase Treasury debt issues: Notes and bonds. That process increases the amount of dollars that are in circulation, the money supply, which results in a reduction of the material equivalent worth of the dollars that were already outstanding. That includes the equivalent worth of the dollars that measure and state the financial value of the holdings that we have in our IRAs, etc. We don't see any "money" disappearing when we look at our account statements but we will sure experience a reduction of purchasing power when the time comes that we need to sell our holdings and withdraw money to pay for the things that we need to live on. On an ongoing basis, the federal government is spending the balance that we will lose even though we may never realize that we had a loss. Sneaky psychotic bastards.
It is simply a sad fact that The United States Federal Government is a crime syndicate that, somewhat like a sneak thief in the night, is robbing the citizens of the nation.
And, by the way, this didn't start when Obama came to town. If you want to pick a time and a President for when the process of professionalized governmental thievery began, pick 1913 and Woodrow Wilson. A century of "progress" of a kind that only so-called "progressives" would bring to us and our country. Again, sneaky psychotic bastards.
That line scared me! I've been doing a lot of searching. The earliest claim of this that I could find came in January 2011, in an email sent out by Goldworth Financial.
Here's the thing, though: It was actually an advertisement designed to get you to invest in their gold products. You can see it still on their site here: http://www.goldworth.com/newswithviews.html.
So far I haven't found any supporting documentation -- just other people quoting and requoting the same underlying source.
Charles, this goes back more than 2 years. One of the newer articles is Now Obama wants your 401(k)
over at WND. It contains half a dozen links or so. Sorry to bring you a bunch of reading matter.
Please?...With a strong emphasis on CREDIBLE.
please go to this website and get activists in these states/ www.haltvoterfraud.com
Student loan debt isn't viewed as a problem by the youth of today because they're convinced the government is going to pick up the tab and they'll never have to repay those loans. Government paid tuition has been one of the most prominent demands of the "occupy" movement and I think you'd be safe in betting the farm that its going to happen and soon. After all, that is a major feature of a communist society, and that's where we're being steered by Obama and his Obamunists allies.
The truth is these under thirty that voted for BO will forever belive the repubs and the angry old teabaggers did this.
they refuse to see the truth they should read what pravda wrote about their leader.
I have news for you - under 30s are watching Bill Mahr and the other creepy "comedians" slander people like us - they do not even bother to look at our sites - they are opinionated little ignoramuses - sorry but that is what I observe
You nailed it.

The pageantry and dress of the academic procession introduces many of the more formal and significant events at Hope College. Inherited from the medieval universities of the 11th and 12th centuries when woolen gowns and hoods were worn by scholars for warmth in unheated quarters, the wearing of academic vestments and the procession were not adopted throughout the United States until the late 19th century.
Academic life in the Middle Ages began first in the Church, then in the guilds. The teaching guild was the guild of the Master of Arts, where the Bachelor was the apprentice of the Master and the dress was the outward sign of privilege and responsibility, designed to distinguish the wearer from the merchants and other townsmen.
Principal features of academic dress are the gown, cap, and hood. Both Cambridge and Oxford Universities, since the 15th century, have made academic dress a matter of university control, even to its minor details, and have repeatedly published revised regulations. American universities agreed on a definite system in 1894. In 1932, the American Council on Education presented a revised code which, for the most part, governs the style of academic dress today.
The cap worn almost universally in academic processions is the Oxford cap, better known as the mortarboard. From poetry we learn that the cap of scholarship was square to symbolize a book. The mortarboard is always black. A different style, called the Cambridge cap, resembles a large beret.
The use of a dark robe in academic processions is thought to have arisen from the clerical practice of wearing a cape or mantle in religious processions during the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities arose from cathedral schools. Traditionally, gowns are also black. In recent years, however, a number of universities have adopted other hues which signify the school's traditional colors, such as crimson for Harvard, blue for Yale, orange "hash marks" for Princeton, maize with azure blue chevron for The University of Michigan, maroon for the University of Chicago, and cardinal and black for Stanford. The Master's gown has long, pointed, closed sleeves. For the Doctor's degree, the traditional gown has velvet facing down the front and three bars of velvet across the sleeves in the color representing the discipline of the degree.
The academic hoods, worn around the neck and down the back of the gown, are lined with the official colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The binding or edging of the hood usually represents the subject of the degree as follows:

Nothing! It is a fair answer. Unfortunately, if you do not know something, especially if you do not know immediate answers to tricky questions posed by religion promoters, they triumph, without trying to find answers elsewhere.
"Aha, you see, they do not know!"
Lucky we, they have all the answers for us.

January is the first month of the year. January has 31 days, its birthstone is the red garnet and in North America it is known to be one of the coldest and snowiest winter months. Thus, January is a prime month for winter sports like ice skating, sledding, skiing and snowboarding—as well as doing more "general" snow activities like building snowmen and making snow angels!
The Latin word for "January" is "Ianuarius" and this is interesting because the Latin word for "door" is "ianua." Hence, "Ianuarius" brings to mind a vision of a door which makes January symbolic as the month that serves as the door to a New Year. Likewise, in Polish the word for January is "Stycznia" which means "joining" such as joining the old year to the new one.
January is well known for "New Year's Day," an international holiday that falls on January 1. This day is meant to be one of relaxation and welcoming in of the New Year. Hence, many stores and restaurants (especially small, family-owned ones) do not open on this day. January is also the time for "New Year's Resolutions" where people attempt to set goals to better something about themselves in the New Year. Generally, New Year's resolutions involve self-promises to lose weight!
During January in North America and much of Europe, the days are short and the night comes quicker. It can sometimes be dark before 5pm! Thus, it is a time of year when a lot of extra energy is used on artificial lighting and heating systems. January is also the only month when the North Pole is colder than the South Pole.
People who are born between January 1st and 20th fall under the zodiac sign of Capricorn (the Goat) while those born between January 21st to 30th are deemed Aquarius (the Water Bearer). Those who follow zodiac signs might find it interesting to note that both of these signs are ruled by Saturn.
January is also the month (along with February) that the Chinese celebrate Lunar New Year which is the biggest holiday in China.

5 News Update 8:00 p.m. (3/16)
A fire burned a home in Monongalia County to the ground Saturday afternoon, and shut down a busy road while crews battled the blaze.

Firefighters said three people were home when the fire broke out, but all of them were able to get out safely. Family members supposedly said they thought the fire started in the back bedroom.
At this time, officials said they aren't sure whether or not the blaze is suspicious.
Four different volunteer fire departments responded to the scene.

The Golden State Warriors announced on Friday that guard Shaun Livingston underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on the big toe of his right foot earlier in the week. Livingston is expected to be out a minimum of six-to-eight weeks.
Livingston, then a member of the Brooklyn Nets, first suffered the injury on April 8 in Miami. He was diagnosed with a sprained toe, which caused him to miss the final five regular season games. Livingston returned for the playoffs and played in all 12 Nets' games.
Livingston still suffered from the injury when the Warriors signed him to a three-year contract on July 11. As part of the treatment, Livingston's right foot was placed in a cast. During a re-evaluation last week, the injury was found to still be present and surgery was necessary.
The surgery was performed on Wednesday by Dr. Richard Ferkel at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Van Nuys. A procedure was done to clean out debris in Livingston's toe and he will be in a splint for the first three weeks. Livingston will most likely be unavailable for the start of training camp at the end of September.
Livingston is coming off a season where he averaged 8.3 points, 3.2 assists, 1.4 turnovers and 1.2 steals in 76 games with the Nets. He started 54 games and averaged 9.1 points on 47.6 percent shooting. In 22 games off the bench, Livingston averaged 6.2 points on 51.0 percent shooting. The Warriors signed Livingston to improve their bench, which was one of the worst units in the league last season.
Livingston, 28, will serve as All-Star Stephen Curry's primary backup. But he will also play alongside Curry and spelling Klay Thompson in the process. With the 6-foot-7 Livingston being a solid and versatile defender, new Warriors coach Steve Kerr should have no problem putting him and Curry on the court at the same time.

Genre: Drama,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 43min
JIN-ROH's setting is Tokyo-not the Tokyo of the future, but of an alternate past. In the bizarre, ironic tradition of Philip K. Dick's THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE, JIN-ROH presents a Japan that lost a different Second World War-not to America, but to Nazi Germany. Now, more than ten years after the defeat, the occupation troops have left, but their legacy is JIN-ROH's twilight-zone city where the domestic terrorism of "The Sect" plays out in everyday bombings and street battles against the counter terrorist Capital Police-and their elite armored, helmeted, and red-goggled Special Unit.

Dems sweep Ventura County, Brownley wins 26th congressional district
By Michael Sullivan 11/08/2012
With the end of gerrymandering and the control of state and congressional districts put back into the hands of citizens, rather than politicians, red-dominated politics in Ventura County came to an abrupt end this week. With the exception of the re-election of Assemblyman Jeff Gorell, R-Camarillo, Democrats swept state and congressional offices in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, and thanks to voters in northern Los Angeles County, Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, managed to keep her seat in the 27th state senate district, though east Ventura County voters had chosen Republican prosecutor Todd Zink.
The real game changer, however, was the election of Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Oak Park, to the newly drawn 26th congressional district. Representing only small portions of Ventura County, including Port Hueneme, Naval Base Ventura County, Oak Park and a small section of Oxnard, Brownley was not a familiar name to those who would be voting for her. Having lived in Santa Monica for most of her tenure as an assembly member, only moving to Ventura County in February, it seemed like a long shot that she could take on the popular state senator, Tony Strickland. Known for his conservative policies, the Thousand Oaks resident had served six years on the assembly and was elected in 2008 to the 19th state senate district by a very slim margin over termed-out Assemblywoman Hannah-Beth Jackson, D- Santa Barbara.
It was a fairly unpredictable battleground, with only a slight democratic edge. Rep. Elton Gallegly stifled the competition for 25 years, carving out his constituents via gerrymandering and keeping a tight hold over Ventura County in the 24th congressional district, as well as the 23rd and 21st. But with the newly drawn lines of the district by the Citizens Redistricting Committee, the 26th district, representing much of Ventura County and now with a democratic edge, Gallegly announce his retirement in January and the seat was up for grabs.
Brownley said that she wasn't planning on running for the district until Ventura County Supervisor Steve Bennett, who had announced his intentions to run for the race in November 2011, bowed out at the California Democrats Convention in San Diego in February to fight for his seat on the Board of Supervisors. Bennett, as of Nov. 8, secured his position on the board over retired Fire Chief Bob Roper by a 53-47 percent margin. When Bennett bowed out, Brownley said she received phone call after phone call from area democrats asking her to take on Strickland for the congressional district.
"I gave it a lot of thought and waved a little money at it to see if I had a shot at winning it," she said. "I gathered more information and found that I had a fighting chance to win this one."
With only two public forums, one at Cal Lutheran University and a less publicized telephone conference with AARP members, the only word voters got of the two candidates came from mailers and advertisements. But when it came down to it, the democratic edge proved to be Strickland's downfall. By a 52-48 margin, Brownley was declared the winner on Nov. 7, with Strickland calling her and sending his congratulations.
Brownley will give up her state assembly seat on Dec. 5 and will be sworn into congress in January. So what will Brownley do when she gets into office?
"First and foremost, I will set up a staff that will best serve the folks in Ventura County," she said, adding that she will continue focusing on issues that she fought for in California, like the California disclose act and the national federal disclose act. She also wants to work on overturning the Citizens United case — "There is so much money being spent [on these elections]." She also wants to work on No Child Left Behind, which is up for re-authorization in the coming year.
Brownley's main concerns, however, are much broader.
"The larger picture is to put the economy back on all cylinders, expanding middle class, making college more affordable, preserving Medicare," she said. "Honestly these are bigger, more macro issues that I have heard over and over again, that these thing most Ventura County residents are concerned about."

First name origin & meaning:
Swedish: Son of Andrew
First name variations: Andersen, Anders, Andy
Last name origin & meaning:
Scottish and northern English: very common patronymic from the
personal name Ander(s), a northern Middle English form of
Andrew. See also Andreas. The frequency of the surname
in Scotland is attributable, at least in part, to the fact that St.
Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, so the personal name has long
enjoyed great popularity there. Legend has it that the saint's relics
were taken to Scotland in the 4th century by a certain
St. Regulus. The surname was brought independently to North America by
many different bearers and was particularly common among 18th-century
Scotch-Irish settlers in PA and VA. In the United States, it has
absorbed many cognate or like-sounding names in other European
languages, notably Swedish Andersson, Norwegian and Danish
Andersen, but also Ukrainian Andreychyn, Hungarian
Andrásfi, etc.

The recurrence is for Motzkin number, which is defined as follows: $$M_{n+1} = \begin{bmatrix} \dfrac{2n+3}{n+3} & \dfrac{3n}{n+3} \\ 1 & 0\end{bmatrix}^n \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1\end{bmatrix}$$
where $M_{n+1}$ is the $n+1$th Motzkin number.
I wonder is there an equivalent form without having to divide by $n + 3$ because the value after calculation must be modulo with another number $m$, where the division doesn't apply for modular arithmetic. For example, something like: $$\text{some terms} \cdot M_{n+1} = \begin{bmatrix} 2n +3 & 3n \\ 1 & 0\end{bmatrix}^n \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1\end{bmatrix}$$
The motivation came from this thread How to compute linear recurrence using matrix with fraction coefficients?

As the fire burns in Boulder, the school year begins and 9/11 is only a few days away, many of us as parents think daily about the safety of our children while they are in and out of school. Should a terrorist, natural disaster, or school violence situation arise, the Douglas County community, in honor of National Preparedness Month, has come up with a way to train citizens of our neighborhoods in managing these emergency and disaster situations - the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
The CERT Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood, workplace or other areas following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
CERT is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. Through training, citizens can manage utilities and put out small fires; treat the three killers by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock; provide basic medical aid; search for and rescue victims safely; and organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective.
In addition to supporting emergency responders during a disaster, the CERT program builds strong working relationships between emergency responders and the people they serve. CERT teams also help the community year-round by helping with community emergency plans, neighborhood exercises, preparedness outreach, fire safety education, and workplace safety.
CERT courses are coming up soon! Details include:
WHEN: Sept. 11, 18, 25 and Oct. 2; 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
WHERE: Lone Tree Civic Center, 8527 Lone Tree Parkway, Lone Tree 80124
For more information, contact Gary Stephenson at 303-858-1973 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
More About the CERT Program
CERT is an integral part of Citizen Corps, the grass-roots movement that actively involves everyone in making our communities and our nation safer, stronger, and better prepared. All over America, communities have organized Citizen Corps Councils to inspire people to take action and get involved.

The UN World Food Program's (WFP) director, Ertharin Cousin, was in Syria today to meet victims of the brutal civil war. She also held talks with high-ranking government officials about gaining access to hungry Syrians trapped by the fighting.
Cousin visited a WFP food distribution center in Damascus. There she met displaced persons living under dire circumstances, including 32 members of an extended family sharing one apartment.
"The Syrian crisis is more than numbers. Every family that I spoke to shared a sad story of tragedy and loss. I am overwhelmingly moved by the resilience and the spirit of the Syrian people. It is essential that the international community continues to support the provision of basic humanitarian needs," said Cousin.
WFP is trying to feed over 4 million people inside Syria, many who are trapped by the fighting. Gaining access to these areas requires extensive negotiations with the combatants.
WFP needs about US $35 million a week to fund the relief mission. In 2014 the cost of feeding Syria's war victims will be around 2 billion dollars. It is one of the largest hunger emergencies of this generation.
Cousin says, "The humanitarian situation in Syria is getting more difficult every day, as almost half the Syrian people are now food insecure." Special foods like Plumpy'Doz, which prevents deadly child malnutrition, are being distributed.
WFP depends entirely on voluntary donations. A relief fund has been set up at the WFP web site.

The Airport Extreme doesn't seem to have an IP access-control list (ACL) to block outbound access to a particular IP address. Is there any way to add a null route or a blackhole for a specific IP so that it cannot be accessed from the local network? For instance, an iPad connected to WiFi would not be able to connect to the IP.
You can set the Airport to get DNS from a service like OpenDNS, and then set a blacklist at OpenDNS to block the IP you don't want the iPad to connect to. This would affect every device that connects to your Airport, not just the iPad though.
It's a solution, but not the one you were looking for. The forums at Macworld and Macrumors have a lot of people commenting about how you can't blacklist directly with an Airport Extreme, and this seems to be the solution that works for them. From one such post...
So, someone who is tech savvy could still manually set the iPad to use a different DNS server to bypass the OpenDNS option.

Is it safe to eat peanut butter during pregnancy?
I am 11 weeks along and I have been trying to eat a variety of different foods in order to expose the baby to different vitamins and future tastes. I am having mixed feelings about peanut butter. I am a teacher and I see so many kids with peanut allergies and I often wonder how that happens. I only eat peanut butter maybe once a week. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!

I was curious about this too, since I'm 26 weeks along now, and can't seem to go a day without eating peanut butter! I did a quick search of the peer-reviewed literature (this means that scientists did the study and had fellow scientists checked their work) and found this study from 2003 that says there is no link between consuming peanuts during pregnancy and your child having a peanut allergy (NEJM,March 2003, Volume 348:977-985). They have also ruled out a link between soy consumption and peanut allergy ( J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2008 Jun;121(6):1455-9). Please note, I'm NOT an MD, and of course you should always ask your doctor about the latest findings in the scientific world... I'm just posting this because it's what I came across, and I am a scientist (chemist) so it's reassuring for me!!posted 06/03/2009 by chemgirl42
I ate a LOT of peanut butter when I was pregnant both times and neither of my children have any type of food allergy. I have a friend who avoided all of the "potential allergic" foods while pregnant and her oldest boy has quite a few allergies to foods. I agree that I think the allergies are hereditary and don't have anything to do with eating the foods while pregnant.posted 11/19/2007 by Jill5270
It's recommended that you avoid it if you or your partner have allergies, otherwise you are OK.posted 09/18/2007 by Kat_Kelly
I had gestational diabetes with all 3 of my pregnancies, so had to have some protein for every meal and snack (6 times a day). Peanut butter was about all I could stomach day after day, so I ate tons of it. None of my 3 kids have any peanut allergies, nor any other allergies. Nobody in either mine or my husband's family has food allergies. However, a friend of mine ate peanuts nearly every day of her pregnancy because she craved them, and her child has severe peanut allergies. He can't even be in the same room as an open jar of peanut butter without a reaction. Maybe it's coincidence, but I think that certain people may be more predisposed to allergies, and for those that are, those daily servings of peanuts may just be enough to bring out the allergy. Moderation in all things is always good when you are unsure, and if you have any family history of allergies, I'd be extra careful.posted 11/25/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Women have been eating PB for a long time but the allergies are just now becoming common. PB use to be made in a pure state (just peanuts), but now is often made with partially hydrogenated oil: and there is an abundance of the trans fatty oil in other foods being consumed in todays world, one in which allergies have become "the norm". Coincidence?posted 12/16/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I have a four year old son who was diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy after touching peanut butter at 14 months and swelling all over. We have no family history of peanut butter allergies, but do have environmental allergies in our family (which our allergist says is usually a common finding w/ people with pb allergies). I went thru my second pregnancy about a year ago, and was told by my son's allergist that I needed to avoid peanuts and peanut products throughout the third trimester and while breastfeeding. He said that the peanut protein cannot affect the baby until the third trimester. Although living with my son's peanut allergy has been one of the most frightening experiences of my life, I felt comfortable with our MD and trust that his answer was based on the most recent research. My advice is to find an MD that keeps current with the latest research, and that you trust, and ask him/her all of these questions. You can get some crazy advice from people on these sites!posted 11/26/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I read on this site when I was pregnant that if my husband and I didn't have food allergies then it would be OK to eat peanuts/peanut butter. So I did. Now my daughter has a severe peanut allergy. I don't know if I caused it but I sure will not be eating peanuts with the next pregnancy. Too risky.posted 10/28/2007 by JLCand?
I highly suggest avoiding in while pregnant and breastfeeding! There is no history of food allergies in my family except for my first born who is severely allergic to peanuts. I ate peanut butter a lot while pregnant and even more while nursing. After all it was one of the foods handed out by WIC. Something I believe they shoud change! My second child I avoided peanuts at all cost, which was easy since we can't have it in our home due to my oldest being allergic. My second son has no food allergies at all. So yes, I do believe it is smart to avoid eating any of the top food allergens while pregnant! Better safe than sorry. It may be a bother to you to avoind eating something you like, but consider how horrible it is for your child to go through life with this life threatening allergy! I wish I had this information back when I was pregnant.posted 11/06/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Listen up moms to be. Peanut proteins CAN cross the placenta and cause your child to have a peanut allergy. This comes straight from my daughter's allergist. My 4 year old has a peanut allergy. Not a single person in mine or my spouse's family has food allergies. I consumed a lot of peanut butter while I was pregnant. Now, in order to have a food allergy, you have to have been exposed to the food first. The very FIRST time my daughter was given peanut butter she had a severe reaction. The first allergy test showed a severe allergy to peanuts. The next test, a year later, showed a significantly decreased reaction. Approximately 20% of children will outgrow this allergy, and I believe that this type of exposure ( in the womb ) raises the chances of a child outgrowing the allergy.posted 03/28/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I've just asked my doctor the same question and his response was avoiding peanut butter when pregnant/breastfeeding MAY help prevent peanut allergies but it's just a theory at this stage. I ate moderate quantities of peanut products during my first pregnancy and, maybe it's a coincidence, but unfortunately my little girl has just been diagnosed with a peanut allergy despite no family history of any food allergies. This time I won't be taking the chance.posted 11/19/2007 by adnil2222

City of Wilmington Launches 2013 Senior Fan Drive
Posted on 05/30/2013 4:12 pm
Friday, May 30th, the City of Wilmington will begin the 2013 Senior Fan Drive, where senior citizens, who cannot afford or do not have access to a fan or air-conditioning system, can receive relief and combat the rising temperatures of the summer season.
The Wal-Mart Store #2555 supported this year's Senior Fan Drive by donating $688.00 towards the fans. This Wal-Mart Store discounted the price of the fans from $16.88 to only $10.00.
"The Mayor's Office of Constituent Services is happy to partner with Wal-Mart Store #2555 in order to provide these fans to the City's senior population. What may just feel like a warm day to some, can be life-threatening to our older residents or those with respiratory ailments," said Director of Constituent Services, Jill Morrison.
The annual Fan Drive serves senior citizens and individuals with respiratory problems to ensure they have the necessary resources to fight the summer heat. Dangerously high temperatures can lead to heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or more severely, heat strokes.
"As summer approaches and temperatures rise, we must take care of our seniors and those in need by providing fans and necessary resources so those folks can safely and comfortably beat the heat," said Mayor Dennis P. Williams. "I would like to thank Wal-Mart for supporting our efforts to offer comfort and support to our seniors during this upcoming summer season."
To qualify to receive a fan applicants must:
- Must be a resident in the City of Wilmington.
- Must provide a driver's license or state i.d. which shows their address within City limits. (if the license or i.d. doesn't not show current address, they may bring a utility bill)
- Must be 55 years of age or older OR if a resident is younger than 55 but has respiratory problems, he/she may bring in a letter from their doctor.
- Fans must be picked up between 9:30a.m. - 4:00p.m. Monday-Friday in the Office of Constituent Services.
For more information please call the Office of Constituent Services office at 576-2489.

what to buy
How much coverage do you need? Each state has certain minimum requirements for bodily injury and property damage coverage. It's always worth double-checking the numbers on your state insurance commissioner's website. Most experts recommend purchasing more than the minimum; however, you need at least enough coverage to cover your assets, and purchasing the state minimum is generally only enough to keep you driving legally. If you're on a tight budget, though, that's certainly better than nothing and will keep you out of worse difficulties in the case of an accident.
What type of coverage do you need? Liability coverage is required by law of all car owners, but it covers only expenses related to bodily injury or property damage you do to others. If you want your own vehicle covered in the event of a crash, you'll need collision coverage, and if you want it covered for anything other than a crash -- a nasty hailstorm or vandalism, for instance -- you'll need comprehensive coverage. Another major consideration is uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, which will cover you if the person who hits you didn't pony up for his or her own policy. If you do not own your car outright, more coverage will be required by your lender.
Is the car insurance company reputable? In recent years a plethora of online only insurance companies have cropped up -- aimed mostly at very high risk drivers who can't find insurance elsewhere. Some are highly-rated companies, and are often subsidiaries of larger corporations that specifically handle high risk drivers. Do your homework, though, if you're dealing with a company that you've not heard much about. Check their Better Business Bureau ratings and be sure they have a solid financial rating as determined by A.M. Best. Also, high-risk drivers should double check the premiums in their state's assigned risk program. Assigned risk is never cheap, but could still be a better deal than a high-risk policy from a less-than-reputable insurer.
Tracking programs may be the future of auto insurance. Pioneered by Progressive Insurance with their Snapshot program, these telemetric devices are to cars as the black box is to an airplane. They track your every driving move, from braking, acceleration, speed and more. Then, the insurance company can use that data to give you discounts based upon good driving habits. At this time, they do not penalize you by raising your rates, but many think that these trackers will someday do just that. Right now, only a few auto insurance companies have car tracking programs, but at least one study estimates that by the year 2020 more than 25 percent of auto insurance revenue will be generated by car tracking-related policies.

For a man who swears that he isn't looking past what's on the plate right in front of him, an appetizer named Steve Forbes, Oscar De La Hoya sure seems to be licking his chops a whole bunch as he contemplates his entree (Floyd Mayweather) and his dessert (Miguel Cotto), his fistic last supper.
Oscar took questions form the press on Wednesday afternoon, as he he winds down his training camp in Puerto Rico in preparation fro his May 3rd showdown with Contender alum Forbes at the Home Depot soccer field in Los Angeles.
The fight will be shown on "free" HBO, and is perceived by Oscar and pundits to be a rust-shedding exercise against a foe who holds some vaguely similar skills and characteristics as Mayweather.
De La Hoya (38-5) , should he gobble up the Forbes (33-5) appetizer, as he is expected to by many, has a re-do set with Mayweather on September 20, in Las Vegas.
Any true fight fan recalls that Oscar faced off with Floyd last May 5, and ODLH dropped a split decision to the man then referred to as Pretty Boy Floyd, but whose nickname was switched to "Money" after he finished counting the piles of dough he took home for beating Oscar.
The subject of Mayweather, and the third and final fight of 2008 for Oscar, his career capper, came up pretty often in the call which was held for 126 journalists. Could there be a danger that Oscar could have his best laid plans upended by the light-hitting 31-year-old, Forbes, because he's focusing not on the task in front of him, but on his to-do list? He says he will not get surprised by Forbes, and will be ready to rock on May 3.
"I've been training since January for this fight," he said. "I'm taking the steps to be ready."
"The steps" include a re-partnering with Floyd Mayweather Sr, who stepped away from Oscar's corner when Floyd Jr and ODLH scrapped. Freddie Roach filled that vacuum, but Senior is back with Oscar, and the fighter sounds ecstatic about that.
"Mayweather has taken me to another level," he said, "the way he does in all my fights. Freddie is a tremendous trainer, in the top two or three in the world. But me and Floyd have a connection, working good together. Overlooking Forbes will not be the case." He will not make the same mistake he made against Felix Sturm in 2004, when he underestimated the German, and escaped with a UD12, he told the journalists.
Oscar said he called Senior a few months after the faceoff with Junior and there was no weirdness involved. Just about every day, the fighter and trainer talk about Oscar's performance against Junior, ODLH said, and he admitted he is "training for Floyd." But, he hastened to add, his mind is on Forbes. "My main goal is to beat Floyd Junior," he then said. If I'm Forbes, and I'm hearing this, I'm emboldened.
Oscar said he's right around 150 pounds now, and that he still doesn't hate the drudgery of training camp. "I want these three fights and go out a champion," he said. "I know for sure my last time in the ring will be in December."
Bless De La Hoya, he really does seem able to convince himself that he will be able to perform at a higher level than he has before, each and every time he gloves up. This time, he said he thinks that we have not even seen his best, what he's capable of doing. He'll be popping jabs, 40, 50, 60 a round, he said, on May 3.
Oscar told the press that he was not reuniting with Floyd Senior merely to get a publicity pop. The trainer has finally taught him, after all these years, how to relax in the ring, and that could well be the key to propelling him to a win over Floyd Junior, he said. He's feeling so optimistic, he said, he might well fight another five years. Oscar paused and then said, "That was a joke."
But future plans are definitely on his mind. There's that open date in December, for instance. Who might snag that plum assignment?
"You can't really rule anyone out," he said. He intends to beat Forbes, and then Money Mayweather and then.....?
"Obviously Miguel Cotto is considered one of the best," he said. "He's fighting Margarito, obviously we know that is an easy fight for Cotto." There you have it--Mayweather/Oscar winner gets Cotto. Most of us who follow the sport intently have believed that to be the most logical path, so that's not earth-shattering breaking news.
Concerning his promotional business, ODLH said he wasn't getting into MMA right now, that he'd like to see the industry settle down first. He also took the time, as did Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, to toss some jabs at the Nevada Commission, because their judges haven't been kind to Golden Boy fighters in recent months.
Oscar didn't get the nod against Floyd and JMM didn't have his hand raised against Pacquiao, and Schaefer counts five other instances where the Golden Boy fighter was snubbed. Oscar initially took pains to compliment the commission when asked about this phenomenon, but Schaefer was more heated in his critique. He said that he thinks Oscar won't leave it to the judges on May 3, and said moving forward he hopes Nevada judges will be "more honest." Oscar then came back to the subject, in a more heated tone.
"It does piss me off that Golden Boy doesn't get the necessary respect," he said. "We can do something about it and we bare going to do something about it."
Hey, maybe May 3 will be Free Optometrist Visit For the Judges Night at the Home Depot Center?
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

The world community plunged into a euphoric state of celebration in 2008 when Senator Barack Obama was elected President of the United States. People of all races and ethnic backgrounds were overjoyed at the election results, and were convinced that our nation was now finally moving in the right direction.
Now the 2012 elections are upon us, and it seems that many of these same Americans who were elated over the historic election of 2008 are now deeply disappointed, believing that they made the wrong choice when they voted, and vowing not to make the same mistake in 2012.
Issues stemming from the economy and health care to the handling of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq - and now Libya, people are starting to feel that they have been "duped" into believing that President Obama represented true change for our nation, ridding us of the customs and practices of past administrations that have not only kept us divided, but that have also hindered our ability to lead the rest of the free world in the establishment of a global democracy.
The dissatisfaction that is being expressed in regards to the job that President Obama is doing is nothing new. As Americans (and as human beings), it seems that we are never satisfied with anything. We continually strive to reach new heights, break records, and do better than the individuals and groups that came before us.
We construct homes and office buildings – but the next one has to be bigger or taller. We build planes, trains and automobiles – but the next one has to be bigger or faster. We have athletic teams and coaches that work tirelessly to win national or world championships – but their victories are short lived as we chant "repeat" and begin making plans for next season almost immediately after the contest.
When it comes to presidents, Ronald Regan was considered one of the greatest leaders of our time. However, after we make a close, detailed examination of his time in office, we discover that we were not completely satisfied with the job he did.
The problems and issues faced by us today as Americans go all the way back to the founding of our nation. If we are not satisfied with the job that President Obama has done, it is because we are not satisfied with ourselves as Americans.
President Obama can only be as good as we are, and if we as Americans have yet to find the remedies to resolve age-old issues that stem all the way back to the founding of our nation, then it is not President Obama we need to look at – we need to look at ourselves.
What we need to understand is that until we as Americans make the commitment to genuinely reduce and eliminate our deep divisions all political, ethical and racial lines, and work together to solve our common problems, we will never be satisfied with not only our current president; we will never be satisfied with any president.
The challenges we face today in our nation are bigger than President Obama – and from the looks of things in our present-day world, the challenges we face may be bigger than us.

If you use TurboTax, then here are some things to consider when putting together your return:
Contributions: The government has a variety of retirement plan options like the IRA. There is also the HSA program for healthcare expenses.
You have until April 15th to contribute to these. In fact, if you plan on contributing to a Keogh or SEP, the deadline is October 15th if you opt for an extension.
These programs can provide some great deductions. But of course, they can be extremely useful for hitting your retirement goals.
Audit: It's scary stuff. Although, unless you earn over $200,000, the chances are slim that you will be audited.
Regardless, it is still a good idea to be diligent with your return, especially when it comes to deductions. As should be no surprise, the rules can get confusing. Can I deduct my commute to my office? What about the meal I had with my friend – who may turn into a client?
For the IRS, there are certain categories that are red flags. Some of the notable ones for businesses include: travel, entertainment, meals and vehicle use.
Of course, make sure you have receipts for all your deductions. You should also use some type of accounting app like QuickBooks or Xero.
Losses: If your business has posted losses for the past three years, the IRS may consider your business to be really a hobby. In this case, you may lose many of your deductions – and be on the hook for back taxes.
E-File: Yes, file your return electronically. It's easy to do and will mean that the error rate will be lower.
Home Office Deduction: The IRS has become more lenient on this. For example, you do not have to meet with clients in your home (that's good news!) Then again, the office must be used exclusively for business.
The IRS has even introduced a "simplified" home office option. It allows for a deduction of $5 for each square foot, up to a maximum of 300 square feet.
In fact, there is no need to file a Form 8829. Instead, you will use a worksheet on Schedule C.
Obamacare: You have until March 31st to either sign up for it or not. If you decline, you will be on the hook for a fine of either 1% of your yearly household income or $95 per uninsured adult ($47.50 per child). The cap per family is $285.
But if you do decide to get Obamacare, you might be eligible for tax credits, which will lower your premium.

Symstream's technology allows the transmission of data across
cellular mobile telephone networks via a unique data transmission
method that is secure and reliable. At its core, the design uses
a patented communications protocol that converts data into audio in a compressed and efficient manner.
Unlike packet-switched technologies, this enables data to be cost-effectively sent over the
voice network with virtually 100% reliability and security.
The public mobile networks offer network coverage often comparable to satellite, while providing the benefits of cost effectiveness and anytime, anywhere, around the clock availability.
Data is transferred from the wireless terminal which sits inside each remote device to a server-based switch/gateway which is part of the Symstream Solution (called a CelXchange) that provides the two-way connection to the host computer via the wireless network to the CelXchange. The CelXchange connects to the wireless network through an ISDN line (or similar) to the Gateway Mobile Switching Centre and to one or more host servers, as determined by the client. This connection to the customers host servers is either through a private network or the public internet, depending on the particular installation. It is possible to pass sensitive data to the host server as all traffic between the CelXchange and the host is encrypted just as traffic through the wireless network is encrypted using data over voice, GPRS or 3G. This protocol is used over and above these different channels depending on the nature of the host and the remote devices and could be transparent IP or a similar communications protocol or an optimised protocol for the client's application.
The company's technology solutions are built from component products including a range of wireless terminals and modems, intelligent embedded processor modules, infrastructure gateways, servers and switching equipment (the CelXchange) and our browser-based, end-to-end, Souran Network Management System (NMS) for equipment control and monitoring and visibility for the client of their entire data transaction process.

With a production of Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida at the Pantages Theatre, Theatre Latte Da and Hennepin Theatre Trust launch a new annual partnership called Broadway Re-Imagined. According to Latte Da artistic director Peter Rothstein, "Our five-year collaboration with All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 (co-produced with Cantus) has done very well. And I love the Pantages. It's a Broadway house but has a more intimate feel."
For economic reasons, most of Latte Da's productions are smaller-scale and play in smaller venues. But Rothstein has experience directing large-scale musicals at such venues as the 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle. (His production of Guys & Dolls there came to the Ordway in 2011.) Reimagining Broadway shows fit right into his aesthetic. "I'm bringing my own point of view," he says. "My work is about reconception, not deconstruction. It resonates in a different way."
As far as reimagining Aida, a Tony-winning musical based on Verdi's opera, "our point of departure is different," Rothstein says. The show begins and ends in a contemporary museum, where a statue comes to life and narrates the tale set in ancient Egypt. "Our whole production takes place in the museum. It's more overtly a performance than it was on Broadway. It's staged like a rock concert."
Rothstein admits that reimagining works is trickier when put in a Broadway house such as the Pantages. "The audience comes with different expectations." But if anyone can meet those expectations, it's Rothstein and company. Jan. 3–27. Pantages Theatre, 710 Hennepin Ave., Mpls., 800-982-2787, hennepintheatretrust.org

Hi all
Is there any way of selecting all the countries in the load players from option on the startup screen or do you have to keep clicking on every nation, which when you get to around the letter N gets really slow and unresponsive.
Many thanks.
Hi all
Is there any way of selecting all the countries in the load players from option on the startup screen or do you have to keep clicking on every nation, which when you get to around the letter N gets really slow and unresponsive.
Many thanks.
Have to go through every one I'm afraid. This part could have been so much better designed. I don't know why they didn't just design a pop up menu that stays there when you click one nation rather than having to start from the top after every click.
http://www.ddtgenerator.co.uk/) you can use to load your chosen leagues but why the hell they use drop down menus instead of tick boxes is beyond me.
See the sound thread. Or the numerous other specific comments I and many others have made on the sheer backward/dated idioicy of the user interface. It makes me personally angry because I have been posting since 2004 about this specific issue (forget the others) and they just ignore it. Then they'll come on and say 'its all very well criticising the game but you have to show some suggestions to improve it' etc. Not aided by the fact that yes, a lot of positive stuff is drowned out in the ocean of ******** babble on these forums but thats their problem for not employing a Community Manager and doing it properly. Grrr. I need a lay down now. BBL.

Don't load every player from every nation, especially if your computer is hanging just at the selection screen.
even if you want say, 10 countries players, its crazy with the drop down. I would much prefer checkboxes on a single scrolling screen.
This is something i long tp be able to do, it's so annoying having to select them one at a time and the option should certainly be there for those that wish to use it.
I loaded all players from Africa for a game I started in France, too awhile to select all the countries and had to look afew up on Wikipedia.
Don't understand why I couldn't just select load all players from Africa for example. Even selecting continents would be better that what there is at the moment.
Yeah I would have done if any decent ones came through. I was playing as a lower league french club and clubs in france don't need work permits for African players. I thought if I retained a larger number of African players more regens would also be African.
Is it really that stupid of an idea ? :confused:
I'm playing as En Avant de Guingamp in Ligue 2 with just the large database, there are more than enough players from the former french colonies like ivory coast or mali or the north african countries. The african nations cup has just gone by and I think every side I looked at had a full compliment of players. What I'm saying is not "dont bother with african players" or anything of the sort, just that the game 'knows' how to load the kind of players you'll want. It's programmed that way. The 'load all players from' drop down was introduced as a sort of ugly way of saying "i want my mates in wales to appear in the game for a laugh" or "I want to manage san marino", not "i dont want to miss any talents in Senegal"

Everyone Has Poop in their Butts: Napalm, Omen, Domkey, BaldiPOSTED ON April 12th, 2009 BY Calvin
With "Everyone Has Poop in their Butts," we seek to show how even the most famous b-boys and b-girls are still everyday human beings who do normal–and super-weird–non-bboy things.
Our latest entry shows Napalm, Omen, Domkey and Baldi as they go crazy in a bathroom in France. Looks like it's out of an episode of "B-Boys Gone Wild" or something.
Check out previous entries with Kid David, RoxRite, Omar, Hella Hung, Cloud and Katsu.

This book is a collection of photographs taken at the start of two yachting races. The first race was the Barcelona World Race, the first non-stop sailing race around the world with two crew on board. 2007 was the first Barcelona World Race and it happens every four years. The second race was the Vendee Globe. This, the everest of the sailing world, is arguably one of the hardest sporting events man can do. Non-stop around the world, single handed. Sleep deprivation, icebergs, hurricane force storms, they all happen and in places where the nearest land is over 2000 miles away. Both races take around 90 days to complete. On both occasions I was supporting Alex Thomson onboard Hugo Boss, a friend of mine from Gosport, hence the 'slight' bias towards his yacht.
The book is 74 pages long and contains over 70 images mostly full page or there-or-there-abouts.
