Every weekend my kids want to have company come over.

When I first lived alone, I was mildly afraid of the dark. I would hate investigating weird noises by myself and refused to leave the perceived safety of my bed in the middle of the night.

I've always been of the opinion that Play-Doh, Silly Putty, and all things gooey should be "outside" toys.

I have Mommy friends who have taken on a third job as chauffeurs. But they don't work for Uber. They work full-time jobs, take care of their families and then cart their children off to a variety of activities. They spend their evening hours away from their homes and behind the wheels of their cars. In the attempt to give our children lots of opportunities to learn instruments, play sports and learn conversational Mandarin, we have…Continue

May is National Mental Health Awareness month. We have come a long way as a nation over the last couple of decades in how we view mental health issues, however, we still need to continue to improve the way people with a mental illness are viewed and treated.
Mental health is simply our emotional, mental, and spiritual health. It is just as important as our physical health. In fact, the two go hand-in-hand. It is important for us to realize that people of all ages, race, ethnicity,…Continue

Co-sleeping is a fairly common practice and many parents sleep in the same bed or room with their young baby or toddler.

One of the best ways to develop relationships and build confidence is to have fun together as a family.

Parents/primary caregivers are the most important advocate for their children in all areas of their development, including social-emotional. May is Mental Health Awareness month.

The Travels of Sir John Mandeville: The Fantastic 14th-Century Account of a Journey to the Eastby John Mandeville

One of the most influential books of the medieval period, John Mandeville's fourteenth-century work was written, ostensibly, to encourage and instruct pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. A thorough compendium of medieval lore, the travel book proved to be a great success throughout Europe. (Among his alleged readers were Leonardo da Vinci and Christopher Columbus.)
The Travels professes to relate Mandeville's experiences in the Holy Land, Egypt, India, and China--where he served in the Great Khan's army--followed by his journey to "the lands beyond," countries populated by "dog-headed men, cannibals, Amazons, and pygmies." Five centuries after Mandeville recorded his observations in those distant lands, the volume's remarkably exacting accounts of events and geography were found to be probable fabrications.
Nevertheless, the book's widespread popularity and influence make it essential to the study of medieval English literature. An engaging mix of fact and fantasy, enhanced with more than 100 rare woodcut illustrations, it has retained its place as one of the greatest and most entertaining works of early English vernacular prose.

1 May 1997 – 5 May 2005
|Preceded by

|Succeeded by

|Political party

|Polytechnic of North London
|Freelance journalist (feminism)
Candice Kathleen Atherton (born 21 September 1955), known as Candy Atherton, is a British journalist and former politician. After serving as a councillor in Islington, where she was Mayor, she was Member of Parliament for Falmouth and Camborne from 1997 to 2005. She now lives in Cornwall and is still active in the Labour Party and in public life.
Early life[edit]
She attended the independent Roman Catholic all-girls Convent of the Sacred Heart (now called Woldingham School) in Woldingham, Surrey, then Midhurst Grammar School in West Sussex. From the Polytechnic of North London (now London Metropolitan University), she graduated BA in Applied Social Studies in 1985.
Atherton worked as a journalist from 1980.
She also worked with ex-offenders, co-wrote a book on housing for single homeless people in north London, and co-founded a refuge for battered women in West Sussex. She chaired the Women's and Disability Committees of both Islington and the Association of London Labour Authorities.
In 1982, she led protests within the Labour Party and the CND movement against the Task Force sent to the Falkland Islands.[1] In 1984, she co-founded Everywoman magazine - a "post-feminist" women's magazine.
From 1986 to 1992, she served as a Labour councillor in the London Borough of Islington and was Mayor for the year 1989-1990. She went on to stand for Labour at Chesham and Amersham in the 1992 general election.
In the mid 1990s, she left London and lived in Westbury, Wiltshire, where in 1993 she stood unsuccessfully as a Labour candidate in elections to Wiltshire County Council.
She worked for the Labour Party and UNISON before being selected to fight the three-way marginal seat of Falmouth and Camborne, after the local Labour Party had imposed the first all-women shortlist in the country. Such shortlists were subsequently ruled to be in breach of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, and thus unlawful.[2] Despite that judgement, she remained in place as the candidate for the 1997 general election. Taking Labour from third place to first, she was elected Member of Parliament for Falmouth and Camborne, holding the seat until the election of 2005.
She doubled her majority in the 2001 election, having successfully campaigned for Objective One status for Cornwall, for the National Minimum Wage Act 1998, and for a university in Cornwall. She spearheaded the campaign to open a Minor Injuries Unit in Camborne Redruth Community Hospital - now used by more than 12,000 people a year - and the campaign to expose the nerve gas station at Nancekuke (RRH Portreath) in her constituency, an issue, surprisingly, that had been well known to the people of the area for several decades.
At the 2005 General Election, Atherton lost her seat to Liberal Democrat Julia Goldsworthy by a majority of 1,886. Goldsworthy was later accused of a dirty tricks campaign, as in her election literature she had published a photograph of Atherton looking rain-swept and dishevelled next to a photograph of herself looking smart, with the caption "Who do you want as your next MP?". A constituent accused Goldsworthy of turning the campaign into a beauty contest.
Paul Phillips, a gay aide Atherton employed for a year until March 2004, resigned and claimed discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, accusing her of homophobia and of asking him to find information on her Conservative opponent in Falmouth because he was also gay. The accusation of 'digging the dirt' was coined by the Tribunal Chair at the initial hearing and although Phillips denied that he had ever alleged this, the phrase stuck. Atherton denied having treated Phillips in any discriminatory way. The case was thrown out.[3] Atherton's record of voting in the House of Commons was generally supportive of gay rights.[4]
After parliament[edit]
From 2005 to 2008, Atherton was a Board member of the Housing Corporation and she chaired the Rural Housing Advisory Panel, which advises the British government on rural housing issues. Since October 2008 she has been a Board member of the Homes and Communities Agency.
In 2006, she founded Atherton Associates, a public affairs company,[5] and has worked for British Waterways and the Inland Waterways Association and with Weber Shandwick Public Affairs.
Atherton married a Cornishman, Broderick Ross, in 2002, and now lives in Falmouth. She is the Vice Chair of the Truro and Falmouth Constituency Labour Party and was member of the Labour Party's South West Regional Board.
In 2009 Atherton, her husband Brod Ross, her mother Pam Atherton and her mother-in law Betty Ross, all stood for election to the newly formed Cornwall Council. Atherton contested the Carn Brea North division, finishing third in a field of four, with 23% of the vote, while her husband finished last out of four in Camborne Central with 11%. Both seats were won by the Conservatives. Pam Atherton finished last out of six in St Day and Lanner with 3%, and Betty Ross finished last out of seven in Wendron, both of those contests being won by Independents.
Candy Atherton was elected to Cornwall Council in the 2013 local elections, representing the Falmouth Smithick division.[6]
In 2014 Candy acted as the spearhead to pass an Article 4 direction through Cornwall Council, a controversial piece of legislation which requires landlords planning to convert a property into a house of multiple occupancy (HMO) to have planning permission.[7]

New Image Guide: The Life and Adventures of a Haunted Convict
The James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection is pleased to announce a new digital image guide: Robert Reed, The Life and Adventures of a Haunted Convict, or the Inmate of a Gloomy Prison; an unpublished manuscript, [ca. 1858] (View all images).
In his memoir, written around 1859, Robert Reed attributes the wayward course of his life to the tragic loss of his father at the age of six. Reed recounts his experiences at the New York House of Refuge, the first juvenile reformatory in the United States, and later in New York's Auburn State Prison. Reed provides a wealth of vivid detail about his incarceration at Auburn, including a description of the horizontal black-and-white striped uniform which originated at the prison: "streaked clothes of shame and disgrace." Released from Auburn on May 1, 1842, he was reincarcerated there before the close of the year, "I return'd home and committed a crime wich brought me back to a gloomy prison." This unparalleled narrative is a unique resource documenting the lives of African-American prisoners in antebellum America.

I decided that I just couldn't make it to Alabama this summer with all three kids in tow. Traveling with the peanut gallery always takes a year or two off my life but I was sure it would be worse this time around. Jacob is a very busy little guy and he has a ton of items on his "to do" list. One of those items is to scream and writhe like crazy any time he is strapped into a carseat. My baby is a happy baby but not a happy traveler. Fortunately, the parents made the decision to come this way instead. I was more than elated to have my dad, stepmom, and stepgrandmother in town for 6 days. They just left this past Tuesday. We had a great time but I think I was over ambitious and tried to fit in too much. We made a marathon trip to Yosemite, Mono Lake, Bodie (Jakie stayed home with our babysitter on Friday and then with his Daddy on Saturday), and spent a day in old town Sac. We had also planned to go to Napa but everyone was too pooped.
I took a ton of pictures and haven't had a chance to go through all of them yet. The kids and I have come down with a cold. The peanut gallery are all on antibiotics for ear infections and are still running low-grade fevers. We all just want to sleep...a lot.
I thought I'd start with a few shots from Bodie. I've wanted to visit forever but we're usually only in Yosemite in the winter and Tioga Road is always closed. It was really spectacular and I could have spent the entire day there. Bodie has an interesting history. Small town. Gold discovered. Population rose to 10,000. With the rise of the population, along came the rise of lawlessness and saloons (65 in its heyday). Bodie became known as "the most lawless, wildest and toughest mining camp the far west has ever known". Frequent killings in the street. Town abandoned after WWII. Became a national park in 1962 and is considered by many to be California's official ghost town.

The erosion–corrosion of carburized and untreated low alloy steel (AISI 5117) has been investigated using slurry whirling-arm test rig. Erosion–corrosion tests were carried out in slurries composed of sand particles and either tap water or 3 % NaCl solution. The tests were carried out with particles concentration of 1 wt% and slurry stream impact velocity of 15 m/s. Silica sand having a nominal size range of 250–355 μm was used as an erodent. It has been shown that the erosion and erosion–corrosion resistance of AISI 5117 low alloy steel can be effectively improved by carburizing for all impact angles. However, the effectiveness of carburizing was the highest for an impact angle of 45°, where the erosion and erosion–corrosion resistance were increased by 60–40 %, respectively, compared with that of the untreated material. The results showed that the treated and untreated specimens behaved as ductile materials under erosion and erosion–corrosion tests, and the maximum mass loss occurred at an impact angle of 45°. SEM analysis showed that the erosion tracks developed on the untreated specimens were wider and deeper than that formed on the carburized specimens for erosion and erosion–corrosion tests.

AbstractWhile individual instances of Chemical/Biological (CB) detection sensor technology development have progressed steadily, deficiencies remain. An integrated multi-sensor network for CB detection is a promising concept for improving performance. New development is needed to address the complex challenge of how to optimally deploy and evaluate CB sensor networks to ensure maximum utility against an ensemble of possible release scenarios. This problem is complicated by elements including: a broad range of disparate CB sensor technologies, a lack of standard sensor performance metrics, quantification of multi-sensor performance, complex terrain, and undetermined release time and/or location. This proposal describes an innovative concept to address the general challenge of CB deployment and evaluation through an integrated use of historical weather data, CB sensor performance characteristics representation, physical plume modeling, and an extendable sensor array allocation and evaluation algorithm.

Bears counting on eight area products
Published: Sunday, February 13, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 13, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
It hasn't taken area players long to take advantage of the opportunity provided by having a college baseball program in their backyard.
Eight one-time area standouts have signed with coach Damon Towe and Blue Ridge Community College, the most the roster has seen in the program's brief three-year existence.
Catcher Adam Beasley (Hendersonville High), center fielder Luke Lovelace (West Henderson) and first baseman Theo Herila (T.C. Roberson) are expected to contribute the most in 2005, while pitcher Eric Stewart (Roberson), first basemen Kyle Radford (Roberson) and Cory Rose (West) and catcher Seth Corliss (West) will have to fight for time. Pitcher Chris Zimmerman (HHS) was a top returning player, but he's currently out with a sore elbow.
"The biggest thing is we've got a lot of guys from the T.C. Roberson program, the West Henderson program, who have been pretty much at good programs since they started playing," BRCC coach Towe said.
In all, 15 of the team's 30 players played high school ball in Western North Caroli-na.

Francis Scott Key's Star-Spangled Banner (Paperback)
Francis Scott Key was a very busy man. He and his wife had 11 children. He was a lawyer and many people came to him for advice. But whenever he had a moment, he would jot down a line of poetry. He loved writing poems. When the War of 1812 broke out, Francis became even busier. He was well-respected and often called upon to help keep the peace as the war between the United States and England raged on. One fateful night Francis and his friend helped talk the British Navy into releasing a prisoner of war. But they couldn't return home just yet because the Battle of Fort McHenry was starting! If the British captured the fort, America might very well lose its independence. Francis and his friends could only sit on a boat and observe the battle. For 25 hours they watched in awe. What Francis saw inspired him to write a poem that would become America's national anthem! This Step 3 reader is perfect for children who are ready to read independently.

ssh-copy-id makes it easy to transfer a public key to a remote machine.
Is there any equivalent tool for moving a private key?
Don't do this! (see answer)

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Good practice says that you shouldn't copy private keys from one machine to another. When you need access from a new client machine, create a new key on that machine, and set up the corresponding public key in your
Doing this allows you to disable access from one client machine at a time, if you need to (suppose a laptop was stolen, for example).

2015: It was the worst of times, and it was the best of times.
It was far from the worst year of my life, but it was not a fun year. It was the year I started rebuilding my life.
2015 taught me many lessons. It taught me that I do have the capacity for love, and that I do have the courage to put myself out there and handle the joys and the heartbreak that entails. It was a year of loss, but reminded me that I am richer for having known those who chose to leave my life, and especially for knowing those who left this world last year.
2015 was a year where I cut some baggage and drama from my life. It was a year I let some chose to leave, and while it was painful, I am the better for it. It is good to have anchors for the storms of life, but having anchors who just want to drag you down into the depths with them are things to be cut. It was and is a reminder that you can't save anyone, if you can't and won't save yourself.
It was a year that saw me move from being homeless to having a home, or at least a room in a home. My landlord is a good person, and has encouraged me to grow, and to be a bit more social in life. He, and his house, are a bit unconventional, and I've loved that. Having a place where I'm accepted as I am, and encouraged and challenged is an amazingly wonderful thing.
2015 was the year I decided to make some moves, from some part-time employment to changes in my writing and photography. Part of that is a return to some of my roots (photography), and to finally taking the long-encouraged plunge into fiction. It's not just that I am more than a bit burnt-out on PR and marketing, but was stagnant — not an easy admission to realize or make. My initial forays into fiction have been well received, and I have plans to work to take that much, much further in 2016.
2015 was the year that reminded me that family is not just blood, but the friends we make — including some friends I never knew I had. This process started a couple of years ago, and I realized in 2015 just how rich I was for those people. What I am doing now would not have been possible without them. 2014 ended on a very low note for me, one that scared me as I had hit a point where I truly did not care if I lived or died. 2015 saw me start back up from that point.
It was a year where I met some very special people, including a very special lady. It taught me that I may actually be able to love and cherish, and while the plans to spend the rest of my life with someone did not work out, I was shown that such was and is possible. I am also glad to have that lady as a friend as I move forward into 2016.
2015 ended with me physically, mentally, and emotionally tired — and that is a good thing. Hard work never killed anyone, and is good for body and soul. That is far more than mere physical labor.
2016 starts with new opportunities at the part-time job, and I love the challenge and opportunity. It starts with new opportunities for the writing and photography I love. It starts with a lot of thought and reflection done in 2015 about what I truly want in life, and some ideas on how to make those things happen.
2016 will, with a lot of hard work, be much better than 2015. That's true of any year, but this year starts with some good foundations in place. It may not be a comfortable year, but making changes, improving ourselves and our lot in life is never comfortable. It is, however, the only way to grow and improve.
2016 will see loss, that is a given. Some will die, and some will chose to leave my life. Some will not like the choices I make, or that I will chose to embrace parts of my life of which they disapprove. That is their choice, and I will wish them well. I will mourn those who die, and will work to remember them with a smile and thanks for being a part of my life.
2016 will be a year of hard decisions. Every year is. For some decision points, there may be no good options for the immediate — the key is to make the best decision possible not just for the immediate, but for the long-term. One good thing about starting is that we can chose to keep that which is good and best, and let go of the parts that hold us back. New lives do not have to be a mirror of the old.
To the worst of 2015, I say good riddance. And thanks for helping me think and grow.
To the best of 2015, I say thank you, and for making it possible for me to be in a place where I can improve and grow.
May 2016 be a good year for us all.

Cloud Computing
Customs and Border Protection Chief Technology Officer Wolf Tombe, shown here at a 2010 Government Technology Research Alliance presentation, shared his agency's hard-won lessons on early cloud migrations at a Jan. 29 FCW Executive Briefing.
Customs and Border Protection was one of the first federal agencies to adopt cloud computing, and the Homeland Security component responsible for protecting U.S. borders has plenty of lessons to share with the rest of government.
With the hype about the cloud and the types of services it offers -- infrastructure-, software-, storage-, and platform-as-a-service, to name a few -- increasing by the week, federal customers may attempt to deploy expensive, high-profile services right away simply because they can.
That's what CBP did a few years ago, making email-as-a-service for its 60,000 employees one of its first major cloud projects. According to Wolf Tombe, the agency's chief technology officer, it was a huge mistake.
Tombe, speaking Jan. 29 at an executive briefing in Washington, D.C., said the agency did not specify with the vendor how the migration to cloud email would occur, nor did it contractually demand visibility into the vendor's cloud infrastructure.
Upon signing the contract, Tombe said, the agency learned the vendor would initially be able to migrate only about 100 users per week to the cloud. A server blade failure soon after led to a total system outage, getting CBP'S email-as-a-service offering off to a terrible start.
"We should have known we were in for trouble," Tombe said. "It wasn't what we signed up for, and we're still not seeing the cost realization you'd expect for cloud. It was a custom infrastructure built for us -- not a managed service."
Tough lessons like that have hardened CBP'S cloud acquisition strategy, and their lessons serve well the rest of the federal community. According to Wolfe, they include:

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Agencies have spent almost $23 billion on legacy IT over the past three years, according to reports to Congress. Is a revolving fund the answer?
The United Kingdom will go live with its governmentwide digital identity platform, GOV.UK Verify, in the coming days. The U.S. government will need a little more time.
What contracting officer representatives really think is needed to fix contract management.
Just came across this. Good article. In one respect the "cloud" is a pricing model, much like "time sharing" was in the '70s. But, managing todays diverse technologies is magnitudes more complex than those days. Luckily, todays underlying technologies can help by providing core architectural controls. This should not be seen as an opportunity to turn a blind eye to the management infrastructure that supports your business. Basic concerns that drive solid business, engineering and security practices must remain under the customers control. The vendor's job is to provide service and technologies that support those concerns. It can be a good partnership when managed well.
Tombe wants 99.999% availability, that means 5 minutes of downtime per year. It costs 200 time more than 99.5% availability, which allows 3 hours and 39 minutes of downtime per month. Why would anyone expect the higher level of availability to be free? Who will bear the costs? Shouldn't the customer who expects less - say 99.5% availability - pay less as a result?
"Tombe said agencies should demand 99.999 percent -- sometimes called the five nines -- and should subsequently demand not to pay extra for it. "
Really??? How does that work? Each "9" is an order of magnitude more effort to deliver, and that entails additional cost. Someone's gotta pay for it. Why not just demand ten 9s?
Mr. Tombe's comments are entirely accurate.
"Tombe said CBP demands open standards in its cloud acquisitions. Agency personnel must make a special request if they wish to purchase a proprietary solution."
What sort of "special request" was made for the Oracle Exalogic purchases?

I used actually in this sentence but my teacher said that doesn't make sense. He looks like fearless but actually he is not so brave. What did I do wrong?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There is something wrong with that sentence, but it's not the word "actually". To be grammatical, the first part should be something like: "he looks fearless but", "he looks like he is fearless but", or "he looks like a hero but".
In this construction, an adjective should go directly after "looks". You can put nouns or phrases after "he looks like".
In my mind, the "actually" sounds a little off where it's located.
I would say, "He looks fearless, but he is actually not so brave."
I think this may just be a matter of personal preference, as I don't see anything grammatically incorrect with either construction.

This paper examines available data, develops a strategy and presents a monthly, global time series of fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions for the years 1950–2006. This monthly time series was constructed from detailed study of monthly data from the 21 countries that account for approximately 80% of global total emissions. These data were then used in a Monte Carlo approach to proxy for all remaining countries. The proportional-proxy methodology estimates by fuel group the fraction of annual emissions emitted in each country and month. Emissions from solid, liquid and gas fuels are explicitly modelled by the proportional-proxy method. The primary conclusion from this study is the global monthly time series is statistically significantly different from a uniform distribution throughout the year. Uncertainty analysis of the data presented show that the proportional-proxy method used faithfully reproduces monthly patterns in the data and the global monthly pattern of emissions is relatively insensitive to the exact proxy assignments used. The data and results presented here should lead to a better understanding of global and regional carbon cycles, especially when the mass data are combined with the stable carbon isotope data in atmospheric transport models.

First of all you wrote a very nice plugin! This one is going to be huge!
I see that is still in BETA testing so I just want to help you out.I found one problem with your module that is CRITICAL.
Use case :
1) You have 2 users.
2) Vote 'Like' with first user -> counter for post gets set to 1
3) Vote 'Like' with second user -> counter for post gets set to 2
4) Vote 'Unlike' with second user -> counter gets set to 0 instead of 1! However I have enabled 'Show voters after post/page content?' and I can see the first user. But the counter is 0.
I will write also a list of futures that I think is very important to be added for the success of this plugin in another topic.
Many thanks,

Is this compatible with Gravity forms?
Is this compatible with Gravity forms?
Have you tried it?
I use Gravity Forms and you could simply set Gravity Forms to upload to the path you want, and not worry about having to set anything with this plugin 'to work with' another plugin.. if that makes sense to you. The point is to not try and make another plugin work with or rely on another = limits your probs should ONE of them not work / gets updated / you uninstall one / etc.
So you could simply use:
add_filter("gform_upload_path", "change_upload_path", 10, 2);
function change_upload_path($path_info, $form_id){
$path_info["path"] = "/home/public_html/yourdomainfolder/new/path/";
$path_info["url"] = "http://yourdomainhere.com/new/path/";

The above is called a filter, you put that in your theme's function.php
Also, at minimum security I would drop a blank index.html file in that folder also. There are a number of other ways to more soundly protect someone from directly listing the folder, the blank index is ONLY if someone tries the folder without calling on a file/page.

If you need post holes deeper than 2 feet to get below the frost line, you'll be digging out beyond 2 feet by hand.

Very dissapointed in the descriptionof the item. I bought it to dig about 100 fenceposts and when it arrived I found out it only goes 22 inches deep. I thought when I bought it 30-36 inches but it really did not say on the description. The price was wonderful and the quality looks okay, but I doubt if I will be able to use it. I wasted my money because the description did not say how deep it would go.

About Me Professional
Bought in anticipation of purchasing post hole digging power unit. While waiting for the power drive to arrive I completed the fence posts installation by hand and am returning the auger.
Worked great
By Robert
from Del Rio, TX
See all my reviews
Works great in dirt or soft gravel. Does not work on hard materials like rocks. Worked on most of the post holes for my fence and saved me a lot of time. Well worth the money.

Love the 6" Auger
By The Farm At Rock Hill
from Burlington NC
This auger bit work perfect with the 1.5hp gas auger.
works great on my depot power mate power head
By jimt
from aurora co
this uses a small clevis pin to attach to the head where the powermate used a 10mm bolt. hole was in the right position to hook right up. works great. also this six inch goes into heavy clay a lot easier than the eight inch that came with the power head. if doing 4x4 this six inch is all you need.
Super fast and easy
By Balancing low cost and useful
from Lincoln, NE
I was completely amazed how fast and easy it worked in my clay backyard. I have spent 30 minutes digging a post hole with mannual diggers so I was very skeptical that it would work at all. It would dig a 24" deep hole in 60 seconds. I did use the manual diggers to clean out the loose dirt in the bottom of the hole.

Photos: See what streets will be nightmares due to President Obama's visit
This afternoon, President Barack Obama is scheduled to make an appearance in the Denver area as part of his continuing advocacy of tougher gun-control laws -- like the ones recently signed in Colorado. It's always exciting to have the POTUS in town, even if he seemed to be here every other day during last year's campaign season. But his arrival tends to cause traffic nightmares, and with the NRA urging its members to stand up in protest even though the event's not open to the public, this stop could be even worse than usual. Look below to see where street closures will happen.
The President will be speaking at the Denver Police Academy, 2155 North Akron Way. The scheduled start time is 2:30 p.m., but the Prez isn't exactly known for being punctual, so it could be considerably later than that, with the after-effects likely to impact rush hour in the area.
According to the Denver Police Department, there will be two main street closures. The first blockade will go up at Central Park Boulevard at Montview Boulevard, with Central Park Boulevard off limits....
Central Park Boulevard at Montview Boulevard.
...past the Denver Police Academy building....
The Denver Police Academy.
...to East 21st Avenue.
Central Park Boulevard at East 21st Avenue.
The other main closure begins at Central Park Boulevard and North Akron Way....
Central Park Boulevard at North Akron Way.
...with North Akron Way shut down until East 22nd Avenue.

...it'll resemble this....

The DPD encourages drivers to "be patient and be prepared to use alternative routes" during the afternoon and early evening hours. Good advice -- but that won't prevent plenty of commuters from grumbling tonight.

Re: Shouldn't TU98 be a FAKO?
starry1 wrote:
I know I'm furious. I was denied for Care Credit today (applied to take care of some emergency dental bills) and my TU score was 498 when myfico has been telling me its 533. Waste of money is all it is.
Furious at what? What score did Care Credit use? Was it a FICO? TU provides 21 FICO scores to lender although only half that many are common. Of the common FICO scores used, the one used by myFICO is one major revision before the most useful TU FICO of all, the one used for a mortgage. That still makes it FAR more useful than any TU score provided by anyone else.
It isn't as useful as TU FICO 04 Classic but it is still worth far more than the FAKO scores out there that may not even move the correct direction with most changes.
I would guess that Care Credit uses TU New Account Model 3.0, which isn't a FICO and has a range of 150-950. Second guess would be a PF Industry version of FICO, which have generic ranges of 250-900. Does it say FICO on the letter? Does it give a score range? 498 and 533 aren't that far apart, only 35 points.
I think the real problem is that a 533 TU FICO 98 will get a denial for almost all credit applications without security.
To call TU FICO 98 a FAKO is extreme. It is worth far less than the EQ FICO sold here but it is still far better than any FAKO sold elsewhere.

About the look
I paired this Gap sweater with white denim jeans by J Brand, which I should mention, are one of my favorite pairs. 'The Babe' cut is no joke. I read a few rave reviews and am convinced. The scarf I am wearing also duals as a hoodie. I found it a little quirky and could not resist.

WARNING : 2015-2016 version of the course specifications
|Seminar on Greek archaeology
Duration :
|30h SEM, 5d FT Tr. Pr.
Number of credits :
Lecturer :
|Thomas Morard
Language(s) of instruction :
|French language
Organisation and examination :
|Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
|Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents :
|This specialised course adopts a critical approach to developing precise and original subjects, which are not covered in the general bibliography, and which are renewed each year, encouraging the acquisition of recent research.
The Peloponnese. In the footsteps of Pausanias
During the 2011-2012 academic year, we will conduct an archaeological exploration of the Peloponnese, using the Preiegesis or the Description of Greece, a publication drafted by Pausanias between 150 and 175 A.D. under the reigns of Antoninus and Marcus Aurelius. This will involve introducing students to sites which are sometimes poorly known, by integrating the latest results acquired on the ground and by attempting to follow the traveller's descriptions. This comparison of material and literary sources will allow us to test archaeological identifications and to reconstitute the interpretative approach used by researchers, who were sometimes too heavily influenced by a text, the real ambitions of which have been poorly identified.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
|This course aims to allow students to master the basic concepts acquired in the Baccalaureat by integrating more specialised issues, leading them to use their analytical and critical skills and to consequently prepare themselves for research. In particular, care will be taken to encourage the indispensable complementarity of the sciences from Antiquity, in relation to sites and artistic creations in the Greek world in their historical context through, in particular, literary and epigraphical texts.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|Good knowledge of the basic concepts covered during the Baccalaureat.

This paper explores the assertion that much of clinical diagnostic thinking is based on the rapid and unconscious matching of the presenting problem to a similar, previously encountered, problem. This 'non-analytic' form of concept formation has been described in the psychology literature for over a decade. From this theory, we deduce and test several hypotheses: 1) Diagnosis is based in part on similarity to a particular previous example. In studies in dermatology, specific similarity accounts for about 30% of diagnosis. 2) When experts err, these errors are as likely as novices to occur on typical presentations. For residents, general practitioners and dermatologists, about 40% of errors were on typical slides. 3) Features are re-interpreted in light of diagnostic hypotheses. In radiology, attaching a standard positive history to the film bag increased the number of features seen on both normal and abnormal films by about 50%. 4) Experts cannot predict errors of other experts. In dermatology, experts predicted only 11–60% of errors committed by their colleagues. We conclude that amassing prior instances is an important component of expertise, and education should recognize this element.
