This is a first chapter preview of Jimmy First And The Time Conflict.
Four years have passed since Jimmy was taken into the future by the renegade Time Guardian, Spiron. Jimmy is now eighteen years old and is preparing to go to Art College in London when he gets a call from Henry to go and see him at the shop.
Jimmy thinks that Henry has bought him something special to take with him to college but nothing could be further from the truth. Jimmy finds Auron, the Head… (more)

I was born in the Luton and Dunstable Hospital in 1954. I grew up in, and was educated in Dunstable, and moved to a small Buckinghamshire village in 1995. I've been married to Carole since 1973 and I'm the proud owner of two golden retrievers, Rory and Murphy.
I started an engineering apprenticeship when I left school in 1970, and qualified in 1975. I worked as an engineer in various Electronic Companies from 1975 up until 1989, when I decided I needed a career change and became an RF Sales Engineer, a job which I still do today.
I love to walk my dogs in the open countryside and I enjoy listening to all types of music. I've been an Eric Clapton fan since I was fifteen years old and have seen him play live around a dozen times. I've enjoyed reading since I was a kid and dreamed that one day I would write a story that people would want to read. So I finally took the plunge and started to write around five years ago. I've always loved fantasy, which is the genre I've chosen for my Jimmy First story.
The first book to make an impression on me was 'The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe', by C.S. Lewis. I was 11 years old. A teacher at my junior school, Stan Knowles, read it to the class. He was a brilliant reader and changed his voice to suit all of the different characters, as he took the class into the magical world of Narnia. I can remember never wanting it to end.
I didn't find 'The Lord of the Rings' until I was in my early twenties but it was worth the wait. Tolkien's beautiful prose and vivid descriptions made for a memorable read. I also liked Peter Jackson's films – one of the rare occasions where the film measured up to the book.
I can remember Roald Dahl saying that to write children's stories as an adult, you had to get down on your hands and knees to see the world as a child does. I've always believed that all of the great children's authors have a well developed sense of the child within them, which is why they can write such amazing stories.
I've lost count of the number of business meetings I've been in where I go off into some fantasy world or work out a plot for a new idea. So I thought it was about time I put some of these strange ideas onto paper. I grew up in the sixties and was brought up on Doctor Who ... and yes I did watch the Daleks from behind the sofa! But it was must watch TV and it fostered a life-long fascination with time travel.
I love the Jimmy First character; I love his innocence and his essential goodness. I wondered what would happen if he had the opportunity to travel into the future to find a cure for his cerebral palsy. 'Jimmy First and Destiny's Watch' is my first story to be published, and I hope that whoever reads it, will enjoy Jimmy's journey as much as I've enjoyed writing it ...

Here over at the PC community, we get almost zilch info about the game being fixed. Ubi just hates PC, don't they?
It was released on console first then about a month later...PC
When they create a patch for pc it will take longer than the consoles because PC's are more complex than consoles.
On top of that there are alot more issues to address on PC than the consoles.
My guess is that UBI want to release a permanent fix patch...it's every game developers way they want to release a patch that reduces the likelihood of another patch being needed.
We thought it was 1.4 but now they are working hard on 1.5 and we should just wait and see.
That's my logic anyway.

It's not about how famous you are for your skillset, it's about being hard to find.
No, Ubi just wants to milk PC community with bad ports unlike EA(which also milks but at least their games are working). Also i doubt they are developing something at the moment.
I read somewhere on the forums by Ubi-Antonio or something that a possible release could be coming within the next month! Don't know how true it is, am trying to find the quote :P
I really hope that the next update fixes all the connection problems when matchmaking and i hope it comes soon.

SIKESTON -- After a long wait, King David's Lodge No. 11 members will soon own their building.
In April 2002, Council members accepted an offer from the Lodge to rehabilitate a commercial structure owned by the city at 203 Luther and lease the building at $100 per month.
The group also asked if the city would deed the property to them at the end of the five-year lease. Chuck Leible, city counselor, advised during Monday's City Council meeting that the agreement documents instead give the Lodge first right of refusal if the city opted to sell the property following the lease.
After some discussion, Council members agreed to go ahead and turn the building over to them.
Leible was directed by council members to draw up documents to sell the building along with small adjacent strips of land to the Lodge at a nominal price of about $10.
In January 2005, a decision on the sale of the property was postponed for six months by council members due to incidents which occurred on Dec. 26, 2004. On this date, the Department of Public Safety responded to a report of armed subjects in the area outside the building followed by a call about an hour later for fight that escalated into an all-call for DPS.
Lodge officers explained the trouble was from someone ejected from the facility when the building was booked for a party to raise money for the building's operation.
Following that incident, Lodge officers decided to not allow any more fundraisers of that type to be held there.
In September 2005, council members again declined to sell the building to the lodge's officers and advised lodge members would have two years to demonstrate there wouldn't be any further problems there. Council members also rejected a request for a consumption of liquor license for the facility.
DPS Director Drew Juden advised council members Monday that no further incidents have been reported there.

R. Kelly's Got Doo-Doo Butter In His Box
This is art that was made by Derek Erdman. You can buy one for $200 right here.
In 2005 and 2007, R. Kelly put out two installments of his epic hip-hopera "Trapped in the Closet" (Chapters 1-12 and Chapters 13-22), which was basically an unending music video series that spun a web of lies and deceit and sex scandals in the style of a soap opera. To be honest, I lost track of the storyline after that girl got impregnated by a midget (wait, that did happen, right???). I mean, if you haven't seen it, then 1) do you live under a rock and 2) WATCH IT NOW because I can't put the epicness of it into words. So when, last week, R. Kelly announced that he would release the third installment (chapter 23 and beyond) on IFC later this year, I was like NO WAY/HELL YES. The man clearly doesn't know when to stop, so it was bound to happen sooner or later, and one can only imagine what kind of weirdness will ensue.
Now if you remember, a mysterious package made its way into the complicated story plot and the last episode (chapter 22) ended with a cliffhanger – a series of phone calls that were like "WHAT'S IN THE PACKAGE HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS PACKAGE NO NOT THAT KIND OF PACKAGE WHAT'S IN THE PACKAGE?" It made all of our heads scratch, leaving us hanging for five years. Thankfully, R. Kelly confirmed that he will finally reveal the contents of the package: "And now here we are at chapter 23, trapped in the million dollar question – what the hell is the package? Well ladies and gentlemen not only am I ready to reveal what the package is, but I have many more chapters to share. I hope you're as excited as I am." OH YES WE ARE, ROBERT SYLVESTER, YES WE ARE.
In anticipation of the third installment, I've taken a quick survey of what people think will be revealed in this package. So, WHAT THE EFF IS IN THE PACKAGE??
Very likely. I mean, the guy is famous for wanting to piss on you, so it wouldn't be too surprising if one of his 'fictional' characters also wanted to give the gift of urination. In R. Kelly's mind, a box of pee-pee is kind of like a care package, so maybe it will serve as a piss, err peace, offering amidst all the drama.
The internet scares me.
A heartfelt twist would be if the mysterious package was actually just really sweet love letters from the aforementioned midget. But knowing R. Kelly's storytelling style, those love letters could be addressed to anybody. My bet is on the popo whose wife fucked the midget, because that is the most scandalous love triangle.
The midget motif is probably my favorite, and Big Man (the ironically named midget from the video series) seems to have made an impression on a lot of people's minds. The story kind of fell flat after the midget bit, so bringing back the midget plot – especially in the highly anticipated package reveal – may just be the greatest comeback option for Kelly.
I didn't know this was a 'thing' until now. Still not really sure if it's a 'thing.' On a related note, people have also guessed that the package will hold "a big piece of shit." But that's almost too typical.
I don't know about you, but I take WikiAnswers as a very reliable source. Maybe TITC will take an apocalyptic turn. Only time will tell.
Hey nerds! What do you think will be in the package?

Microsoft have made a very bold move with Windows 8, not only giving us a completely new Metro UI, but also removing the traditional start button that's become central to every Windows OS to date. Some people love it, others hate it. Personally I sort of like the fact that the new start menu is the Metro Start Screen and I think people will come to like it.
But of course, there's always going to be people who just don't like change. So I've discovered a way for you guys that will let you get back the start menu button.
Stardock who have a plethora of Windows modification tools have come up with a new one – Start8
Start8 will bring back the famous Windows start menu, albeit a new and improved one. First off, it re-inserts the familiar Windows 7 Orb in the far-left corner. Then it adds in a Metro Style start menu, which retains the brilliant search functionality. Also by right clicking on the Start Orb you'll also have the option to Shut Down or Run.
- Adds a "Start" menu to the Windows 8 taskbar
- – Enables quick access and searching of your installed applications
- – Adds Run… option via right-click menu
- – Adds Shutdown… option via right-click menu
- – Choose a custom Start button image
So maybe you guys want this feature, maybe you don't. Either way follow the download link below if you want to download Start8 and try it out.Download Start8

In 2011 Frenchman Alain Lellouche launched an exciting new concept on the fitness world. This concept known as 'aqua spin' is simply spinning, but in water. Aqua…spin. Geddit? This exercise trend has only recently hit the UK and with a number of classes now available in swimming pools, I took the plunge with Aqua Fit Pro; one of London's most popular aqua sports providers.
Yoga isn't exactly a new craze and if I'm totally honest, I'd always thought of it as 'exercise' for hippies and fitness fanatic celebs like Madonna and Gaga. There's always a lingo between fellow 'Yogi's' (look it up) and I can't help feeling silly that I don't really know what 'Zen' means. Because trying out a normal yoga class wasn't extreme enough for my first attempt, I decided to make it unspeakably hot. I'd heard stories of grown men needing to take time out due to the high temperatures and smothering humidity, begging the question: 'Why on earth do people choose to put themselves through this?'

After years of planning, construction is nearing on a project that will transport water between East Lyme and New London.
Officials from the two communities are slated to hold a ground-breaking ceremony today for the project that will carry water from the Lake Konomoc Water Treatment Plant, New London's reservoir, along Routes 85 and 161 to East Lyme.
Under the plan expected to be completed in May 2014, East Lyme will send water to the reservoir from fall to mid-May and then New London will send the stored water back to the town for the summer months when the town's population and water demand increases.
The proposal calls for constructing a pump at Lake Konomoc to send water in a transmission main along Route 85 to Sachatello Industrial Drive in Montville where it will reach a 425,000-gallon holding tank, according to a map. Then the water will travel along a road to where it meets Route 161. From Route 161, it will connect to East Lyme's current transmission main. A new pump station in East Lyme will then send the water back to the reservoir.
As in past years, East Lyme has implemented summer water conservation measures, that are in effect weekly from Friday until Monday. They ban watering lawns, washing cars and sidewalks, filling or cleaning swimming pools and serving water at restaurants unless a customer requests a glass.
"It will solve a longstanding problem for the town and East Lyme utility customers in terms of satisfying the shortfall," said East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica about the interconnection.
He added the project will both guarantee water for regular supply and add a pipeline to bring water to town in an emergency.
From a regional perspective, he said the pipeline - as well as other pipelines in the region that could come to fruition - would enable area towns to transfer water to each other if needed and solve a water shortfall anticipated over the next 20 years.
East Lyme residents had approved $10.9 million for the project in 2011. There is funding available from the state's drinking water revolving fund and the project received $300,000 in federal funds. The low bid for the project came in less than expected $9.9 million.
Barry Weiner, the chairman of the New London Water and Water Pollution Control Authority, said the project will boost regionalization and assist a nearby town with its water needs.
"New London is very happy and proud to take the forefront in doing that," he said. "If one area does well, we all do."
Under the plan, New London will also receive water fees from East Lyme, he said. The project will also benefit the region by supporting tourism and ensuring security against potential droughts, he added.
George Kansas, a project manager at Tighe & Bond, the project engineer, said permits are being obtained from the state Department of Transportation and he anticipates construction will begin later this month. Construction on Routes 85 and 161 that impacts traffic will happen incrementally and will be announced, he said.
The project will proceed from the water tank in the Montville industrial park to Butlertown Road and then to Route 161. This avoids the intersection of the two routes, explained Formica.

Singltrek pod Smrkem (Czech Republic/Poland) Bronze-level
Photo by Tomáš Kvasnička.
Singltrek pod Smrkem ("Singletrack under the Spruce") is the first purpose-built mountain bicycle trail system in continental Europe. Weaving through the picturesque Jizera mountains above scenic villages with histories that date to medieval times, the trails provide nearly 40 miles of singletrack for riders of every skill level. The trail network follows the border between the Czech Republic and Poland, and every segment has been crafted with flow in mind.
In the character of the United Kingdom's highly successful Trail Centres, Singltrek pod Smrkem boasts a comprehensive trailhead facility that includes a bike shop, rentals, café, bike wash, showers and changing rooms — all situated above a gorgeous lake. Just 2 minutes by bike from the town center, visitors can easily access the trails while enjoying the unique culture of the Czech countryside.
Serving riders in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany, IMBA's first European Ride Center brings purpose-designed singletrack to an audience that is more accustomed to riding dirt roads and well-worn hiking trails. We're confident that this cross-border trail network will soon attract a large base of appreciative fans.

Tracking your credit score is one of the most important financial diagnostic tools you can use. You can think of your credit score like a thermometer. Much like a thermometer measures your physical health, a credit score measures your financial health and your creditworthiness. And just like a thermometer, your credit score can't diagnose your problem — but it can tell you that there is a problem.
Why Tracking Your Credit Score Matters
You might pay more for new credit – Lenders use credit scores as a tool to not only determine whether a customer is creditworthy, but also to determine how much interest that customer should pay. Lower scores present more risk to the bank, so they pass that risk right back to you in the form of a higher rate on home and car loans, credit cards and personal loans.
You might pay more for insurance – Insurance companies are also using credit scores to determine your level of risk, and in turn will charge you more. Many states allow credit scores to be used as a factor in determining premiums because credit scores can be linked to increased claims.
You may be denied a job – Did you know that over 60% of employers are checking credit before they hire an employee. Having a poor credit history can prevent you from getting that dream job.
Credit will impact where you live – Looking to rent an apartment? Be aware that most rental companies and landlords require a credit score check along with income verification and other financial documents that indicate your financial responsibility.
Large drops in your score are a red flag – your credit score is going to change from month to month, but what you need to watch out for are large changes in your score, particularly to the downside. Large drops in your score are a red flag that something negative has happened on your credit file. You need to get a copy of your credit report to determine exactly what the issue is.
Monitor for fraud – Identity theft is a huge problem these days. Monitoring your credit can alert you to problems that could be a result of identity theft.
Achieve your personal and financial goals – Certain personal and financial goals, like buying a car or a first home, are tied to your credit history and score. If you don't know your score, you're leaving everything to chance and have no idea what to expect when you apply. Don't leave it to the lender to fill you in — knowing your score can help plan to meet your goals so that you know what to expect going in.
Set a goal for your credit score – A good credit score can save you money, so why not set goals for you credit score? There are many common-sense steps that you can take to improve your credit score, but in order to know if they are working, monitor your score over time.
Monitor Your Credit Score for Free
You can monitor, manage and protect your credit and identity — all for free, with CreditSesame.com. Get your truly free credit score monthly, plus free credit monitoring and free identity theft protection – no credit card required, or trial periods. And, find out how much you can save with a mortgage refinance, low interest credit card or other loan option with Credit Sesame's debt analysis tools.

This is a photo of her doing my hair the night before I came home. We were so sad to leave each other (but smiled for the camera)
Now, after 6 years, we can be together!! She is the Godmother to both of my sons.
That is great news! My DH and I are going through the process to make him a legal citizen right now. It is a very expensive and long process we are about 1/3 of the way there. He works so hard to support us and makes very little for 80 hrs a week. I cant wait until we can have family nights together and nights off together. On his days off I work so we can make ends meet without a sitter. I know all to well the importance of the little liberties that I have from being born here. I feel so blessed to have found this group so that I can help our growing family in any way that I can while taking care of our soon to be LOs. OMG soon I will have to haul two LOs out to the deals..... Anyway CONGRATS!

I asked this question a few days ago but didn't get an answer. What happens if you return an item that had RR on it? Do they ask for the RR back?

Wags: Question
For those that have done Wags how are you getting your op's so low? When you give your totals are you not including tax, becuse most of my scenerios are all about $1 including tax. Can someone post a scenerio for me. Or i could post mine and you all can critique it.TIA!!!
I think it depends on how your state figures tax. I am thinking at my store that the tax is figured AFTER the coupons come off. So, tax on a few cents here and there is hardly anything. Also, there are some scenarios on Hot Deals. I think I posted about 7 different scenarios where you end up spending about $3.86 OOP (your OOP may be a little bit more if you are taxed on the pre-coupon price)

Rangers leave Habs in their dust at MSG
Lundqvist shakes off late injury to stand tall for his 30th victory of season
Saturday, 03.19.2011 / 12:06 AM ET / News
|Rangers forward Marian Gaborik, who scored the Blueshirts' fourth goal Friday, congratulates goalie Henrik Lundqvist on his sixth straight 30-win season.
By Jim Cerny, newyorkrangers.com
In an absolutely electric atmosphere at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, the Rangers exploded for five first-period goals en route to a passionately-played 6-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
With that victory, the Rangers have now won three in a row and five of their past six and tightened their hold on seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Their 80 points are four better than both Buffalo and Carolina, the latter of which rallied for a 3-2 overtime win over the Islanders on Friday.
The Rangers also moved to within five points of sixth-place Montreal with 10 games left to play in the regular season.
The victory might have come with a cost, however, for the Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist, who earned his 30th victory of the season Friday and became the first goalie in NHL history to win 30 or more games in each of his first six seasons, was barreled into by Montreal's Benoit Pouliot with three minutes left in the game.
Such was the force of the collision that Lundqvist flew backwards into his net, and his head snapped sharply backwards. Although he finished the game, Lundqvist remained down on the ice for several minutes and was tended to by team trainer Jim Ramsay.
"The tough part here is that I really didn't see him coming," said Lundqvist, who did not meet with members of the media until a full hour after the game was over. "My head was leaning forward and I took a pretty hard hit there. But we checked everything, X-rays were good, it's just that my neck is very stiff and sore. We'll see how it is when I wake up tomorrow, but I'm sure it will be sore for several days."
|Blueshirts alternate captain Marc Staal reacts to a goal by Brian Boyle at 18:16 of the first period. Staal assisted on the goal, which closed out a run of three goals in 1:07 and put the Rangers ahead 5-1.
As to whether or not he will be able to play Sunday in Pittsburgh against the Penguins, Lundqvist -- who has started 16 consecutive games -- said, "My goal is to be ready on Sunday."
On Friday night, Lundqvist was well supported as the Rangers scored five goals in a single period for the first time this season, eclipsing the four they had twice scored earlier this year.
It was the first time that the Blueshirts had tallied five times in a first period since a six-goal outburst against the Los Angeles Kings on Dec. 15, 1999. And it was the first time that they had tallied at least five times in any one period since another six-goal explosion against the Boston Bruins on March 17, 2007.
"Lately I think that has been the key for us, having great starts and then playing good hockey from there," said Vinny Prospal, who extended his point-scoring streak to eight consecutive games by scoring a goal and adding an assist on Friday. "Except for the Anaheim game, our starts the last five, six games have been really, really good. And tonight we just started rolling there in the first period."
The Rangers' scintillating start matched the playoff-like atmosphere inside a charged-up Madison Square Garden. The Garden Faithful greeted the Blueshirts with a standing ovation when they hit the ice and segued into a fever pitch during the national anthems of both the United States and Canada.
"It was awesome, you could just feel the electricity going through the building," said defenseman Michael Sauer. "It was exciting. We knew they were pulling for us and were behind us, and you just feed off that."
Brandon Prust made sure to give his team a big lift when he dropped the gloves with Montreal's Travis Moen, officially just one second into the game. With The Garden rocking even louder, Prust and Moen engaged in a prolonged fight before exiting the ice for five minutes each.
"I was just trying to jumpstart the team," said Prust. "The building was alive and was just such a great atmosphere. It was a spur of the moment fight, and we were both willing."
|Rangers forward Artem Anisimov beats Montreal starting netminder Carey Price for the game's first goal on a breakaway at 5:28 of the first period.
The Rangers regained the lead at 10:25 of the first when Dan Girardi blasted a right-wing shot high over Price's glove, nine seconds after Montreal had just killed off a Rangers' power play. The Rangers would blow the game open by scoring three goals in a span of 67 seconds later in the period.
Ryan Callahan was credited with his team-leading 22nd goal at 17:09 to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead, but only after a video review overruled the original on-ice call that Callahan's deflection had not crossed the goal line, after a great move and pass by Brandon Dubinsky started the play.
"That's a big goal because it gives us a two-goal lead, and we had no idea we'd score two more there," said Rangers head coach John Tortorella. "That was a power move by Dubi, a great move by Dubi coming out of the corner."
With the crowd still cheering Callahan's goal, Marian Gaborik whisked his 21st goal past Price from the slot just 32 seconds later to give the Rangers a 4-1 lead. Erik Christensen, who also earned the primary assist on Girardi's goal, set up Gaborik's score with a deft feed from behind the net.
The Rangers then took advantage of the reeling Canadiens again when Brian Boyle scored his 21st of the season, off a 3-on-1 rush up ice, at 18:16. At that point Jacques Martin, Montreal's head coach, removed the beleaguered Price from the game. Price surrendered five goals on 12 shots.
"To come out of the first period being up 5-1, that's great," said Prospal, who scored a power play goal with 2:42 to play in the third with Pouliot in the penalty box after running Lundqvist. "The fans really got into it and created a great atmosphere. It's nice to see an atmosphere like this with the building so alive."
Montreal scored single goals in the second (James Wisniewski) and third (Brian Gionta) to close the gap to 5-3, but the Rangers stiffened and regained control of the game following Gionta's score.
"Even when they scored we still had our chances," said Tortorella. "I thought (Alex) Auld made some great saves (after replacing Price). After their third goal I thought our forechecking picked up again and took over the game."
Off to Pittsburgh now with three straight wins, but with their All Star goaltender sore and questionable to play, the Rangers will look to continue their playoff drive Sunday against the Penguins.
"We're gaining momentum and playing with great energy," said Tortorella. "But we are also still fighting for our (playoff) lives."

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. -- Active-duty service members and their family members lined up an hour early at the Pavilion on Friday afternoon for the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation's first two-day sale of used equipment and furnishings.
The event raised an estimated $25,000 that will support FMWR programs benefiting Soldiers and families.
"It went very well," said Bill Hicks, financial management officer for FMWR. "We're happy with this amount."
FMWR may hold another property sale sometime next year.
Active-duty service members and their families shopped Friday and purchased the majority of the merchandise. The sale was open Saturday to the public.
Items included ellipticals, treadmills, steppers, child care furniture, boats, campers, Apple computers, housewares, artwork and commercial-grade restaurant equipment.
The condition of the equipment and furnishings varied from slightly used to nonoperational due to missing parts.
Items were priced below market value.
Some items were sold through a silent auction. At press time, the silent auction sale of two boats and two RV trailers was still being finalized.
The fitness equipment, Apple computers, kayaks and canoes sold out quickly, Hicks said.
By the time the sale opened to the general public on Saturday, only about 5 percent of the merchandise remained.
Capt. Jermaine Athill, 704th Military Intelligence Brigade, said he came to see if there were "any good steals."
Athill, who likes to collect art, purchased two paintings for $2 and two comforters for $10. He said the merchandise was "pretty good."
Lisa Washburn, wife of Air Force Staff Sgt. Ben Washburn, purchased eight children's chairs and a wooden shelf for $15.
"I think it was really good," said Washburn, who lives in Patriot Ridge.
She said it was smart to offer reduced-priced merchandise to service members and their families.
"I'm really excited that I found really good things at this price," she said.

Health & Baby
Kids' Nursery Products Getting Safer, Consumer Agency Suggests
Sept. 19, 2000 (Washington) -- There may now be a bit less reason for parents to worry over their little ones' safety at home. Injuries to young children from nursery products have declined for the first time since the information has been tracked, the Consumer Products Safety Commission announced Tuesday.
The commission staged its announcement inside a suburban Virginia Babies 'R' Us, as mothers and screaming children shopped their way through the store.
"Safety standards for products that parents use with their babies every day -- like cribs, baby walkers, and play yards -- have saved lives and prevented injuries," said commission chairman Ann Brown. The commission started keeping records on the safety of these products in 1973.
In 1999, according to the commission, there were 65,400 emergency-department-treated injuries that were related to nursery products in children under the age of 5. But, that was a drop of almost 20% -- more than 15,000 injuries -- from 1995 numbers.
The improvement, according to the commission, is mostly due to fewer baby walker mishaps; in 1995, there were more than 20,000 such accidents in children younger than 15 months, but this number declined to just 8,800 last year.
Walkers had often propelled young children down flights of stairs. But in 1997, the commission helped revise a voluntary industry safety standard that made them less likely to do so. Now, to meet the requirements for the new safety standard, walkers must either be too wide to fit through a standard doorway or have features that will stop the device at the top step of a stairway. Meanwhile, companies have introduced stationary baby "activity centers," which are less risky than walkers.
"Using an old baby walker is basically a mistake," said Brown, urging parents to buy new ones that comply with the latest standards.
The commission also announced that crib-related deaths have plummeted more than 75% since the early 1970s. About 35 children died annually in the mid-1990s, compared with close to 200 each year in earlier years. Most of the recent deaths, Brown said, have been caused by old cribs that pose entanglement and strangulation dangers because of faulty hardware or slats that are too far apart, which can allow a baby's head to get caught.

The writer-director of In Bruges, the playwright-turned-filmmaker Martin McDonagh, sells out and makes his first Hollywood film, Seven Psychopaths, a commentary on selling out. Well, that and Hollywood's obsession with psychopaths. And his own.
True to title, it's about seven psychopaths and a screenwriter named Martin writing a movie about them.
But as a possibly psychopathic character tells the writer (Colin Farrell), "You're the one so fascinated by psychopaths. After a while they get tiresome, don't you think?"
Like generations of great talents "going Hollywood" before him, McDonagh takes his shot at having it both ways. He hired a quartet of the coolest character actors in the business and revels in the presence of Farrell, Chrisopher Walken, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell.
He imitates and takes a blood-stained swipe at genre nerds such as Quentin Tarantino or Joe Carnahan, and their movie-lover's style of bloody-minded movie. He has characters comment on situations and scenarios as they "rewrite" scenes, endings and shootouts for the screenplay Martin is sure will be big box office.
But don't get me wrong: Psychopaths is profane, gruesome and hysterically over the top. The sheer pleasure of watching Walken work with his disciples, Harrelson and Rockwell (maniacally mannered here), and watching McDonagh's alter-ego, Farrell, in another McDonagh role worthy of his talents, is undeniable.
Walken gives his pop-eyed glare and his patented colorful line-readings and eccentric pronunciations to every scene — "halucin-O-gens." Farrell wears a pretentious swoopy LA screenwriter haircut and acts hurt every time somebody criticizes his script-in-progress.
But as long as you remember that this is just a Smokin' Aces for the literary-minded you'll be fine.
(B) Directed by Martin McDonagh. R (strong violence, bloody images, pervasive language, sexuality/nudity and some drug use). 109 mins. In wide release.

WSJ's Best Political Writing of 2012 — in an E-Book
The 2012 political campaign was grueling, costly and unpredictable. And now you can relive it.
The Wall Street Journal recently released an e-book, "The Wall Street Journal's Best Political Writing of 2012." Produced with Inkling.com, the book – in articles and video — retraces the arc of a remarkable, and historic, campaign year. Using innovative story-telling, extensive investments in public polling, and old-fashioned street reporting, the book allows readers to understand the forces that shaped Campaign 2012.
Starting in January, with a look at three key counties in Ohio, Florida and Colorado — the book tells tales of opportunities grabbed and opportunities missed, of sudden surges and just-as-sudden falls — by President Barack Obama and the Republican hopefuls, including eventual nominee Mitt Romney. It brings to life the grind of the day-to-day, month-to-month battles, the small changes that seemed to bring hope, or despair, to each candidate in turn.
More than anything, though, the book lays clear the basic divide that continues to mark the electorate, and our elected officials.
As we wrote prior to the election in November, "after hundreds of millions of dollars in ad spending, tens of thousands of air miles and scads of campaign rallies and emotional speeches, amazingly little seems to have changed over the past 10 months. Polls show that voters are still almost evenly divided between Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney, indicating the degree to which Americans are fundamentally split over how they would like to be governed."
The book is available for $4.99 at: https://www.inkling.com/store/book/best-political-writing-2012-wsj-1st.

I have been suffering with severe headaches accompanied by
This answer was rated:
I have been suffering with severe headaches accompanied by severe sharp pains in my right ear since last September. I hung in there until January before I saw a doctor. I was diagnosed with an ear infection and treated. The headaches and ear pain persisted and I went to the ER, where a CT scan was done to check my mastoid bone. I was given more abx and told my CT was fine. 1 week later my doc called me and upon reviewing my CT scan in her office, she noticed a 3cm mass in my left brain. She called me at home and instructed me to go back the the ER, she would call ahead. I went back to the ER, where I was told after no further testing other than a neuro-check that it appeared to be an arachnoid cyst, they don't cause any symptoms and that my pain is probably from a sinus infection. I was given percocet 5/350 and sent home. My doc kept up with the percocet since it was the only thing providing some sort of relief, she sent me to an ENT, who has found nothing wrong. Now she has put in a neuro consult. I have had no further diagnostic testing since the original CT, my doc has stopped the pain mess, and has started trying migraine medications. I am on my third "trial" since last week and no success. The neuro can't see me until June. I am scared because the pain in my head and ear just wont let up. Its been 6months. I am getting depressed because of it. Im going to die of liver failure from the amount of nsaids im taking just to keep it somewhat tolerable. Im scared of whatever this thing on my brain is. My doc wont even guess what it is, even though the ER says its a cyst. It all started a a month and a half after the the birth of my son. Can someone please tell me what I can do? I have tried everything, even tying a tube sock around my head so I could sleep. The ER thinks Im nuts and the doc says that percocet is no longer indicated even though Im in tons of pain. The headache feels like all the pain of a migraine but in one area, no light sensitivity or any of that, just sharp stabbing constant pain in the left deep in the left side of my head and right ear. Sometimes I hear a shifting sound in my ear top, when it get real bad. Please give me some advice on how to help my doc help me, what it could be on my brain, and what I can do for the pain, I think my doc thinks im a junkie or something.

Dear JACUSTOMER u6613fin: You definitely need to be evaluated by a Neurologist or Neurosurgeon before June if you are in severe pain and on no further pain medications. You may want to ask your doctor for a referral to a Neurosurgeon ASAP because arachnoid cyst usually are treated based on the location of the cyst and the size. Waiting til June for your initial neurological evaluation and therapeutic intervention by a specialist is and should not be accepted and you should address this issue immediately and consistently with your primary care physician until a new referral is made for you because you are symptomatic with this "cyst" and are no longer being given care that you certainly deserve!

My doc did send a referral, there are only 2 neuros who accept my isurance and the earliest appointment is in June. My doctor gets agitated when I ask her questions, or ask why the pain med is no longer "indicated" though I still have pain. I have concerns of why she hasn't ordered any further tests. My mom says its is medical negligence or something. The only thing I can get the doc to do is keep trying more migraine medications. They seem to not help at all if not make it hurt more. My doc has sent another referral for an appt asap but there has been no response. Do you have any further ideas, do arachnoid cyts cause pain? Why wont my doctor help me? I have been going to that practice since I was 15. I do.t understand.

Dear JACUSTOMER u6613fin: I certainly can not get in between the relationship you have with your doctor, but as your mother has mention, better care is needed for your immediate comfort and relief. When you are not receiving the care you deserve from a professional health care provider, you have rights as a patient to find someone who will provide the care you need. The most important thing right now is getting you better so that supercedes how you may feel about how long you have been with a health care provider, if the needs are not being met to your satisfaction, or especially if your condition is worsening. Yes, an arachnoid cyst can cause headache pain and you need to call the referred Neuro doctor's office and ask for an appointment sooner because of your worsening symptoms. You may want to contact the new doctor's office manager is he or she has one in the office and explain your present condition indicating that you can't wait until June. You can also contact your insurance company and ask them to give you the name of a Neurologist or Neurosurgeon who takes your insurance who can see you before June and explain to the insurance company that you do not want to keep going back and forth to the ER and I'm sure the insurance company does not want to keep paying for an ER bill over and over and will help you to find a Neurologist who takes the insurance.

Prevoting, using mobile devices with NFC technology, and a new Express Voting LaneYou're at your local voting booth, and waiting in line to vote is one of the least productive things you can be doing right now. You look around and you see there's people using their phones tapping a box and leaving out the booth in 30 seconds. Welcome to November, 2016. You don't know anything about the new Voting Express Lane and you arrive at your local voting booth, and while looking around you see signs with QR codes about downloading the new offline pre-voting app. You see people on their phones waiting in line, so you give it a try. You log in, 5 minutes go by and you've marked all the mayors you want to be elected and the governor.
You now have two choices: wait in line to get a unique id that's embedded into a QR code, or grab some paper and a pen and wait in line and manually vote...again. You got things to do, so you scan the QR code, the app connects with your voting data, and you wait in line. When you reach the booth, there's a tablet and an NFC tag area. You tap your phone, a confirmation asking you if you're sure about these choices pops up, you hit ok. In the background, the voting data is sent to the local server and it gets double checked by humans and a computer. Green light shows up, and you're back to doing the things you love to do.
I would love to save time doing this because when I first voted last year it was a hour long process. It shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes! Any money received for this project will go towards an agency that will build the application. The inspiration for this idea came from the NFC Tag Writer by NXP for Android phones, LevelUp, and Usability of Mobile Voting Using NFC Technology by Kerem Ok, Vedat Coskun, and Mehmet N. Aydin.
This is basically an updated version of a survey collector, so it can work great in events, seminars, and activities alongside Textizen. To be used in Puerto Rico or any other city or state officially it must be accepted by it's government.
The benefits for the government is that they can get real-time dashboard analytics on who's winning and the location of where the votes are coming from. It reduces the time to count the votes and the data will be released to the data portal where news agencies can air it on tv after the set time. Usually in the afternoon. Also there will be an increase of people voting who will normally not vote due to the interactive gamified aspects of prevoting.
The demo can be found at: http://prvoting.modrnize.us/demo/

Definition of gnu in English:
A large dark antelope with a long head, a beard and mane, and a sloping back. Also called wildebeest.
- Genus Connochaetes, family Bovidae: two species, in particular the abundant brindled gnu or blue wildebeest (C. taurinus).
Example sentences
- In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson's gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu.
- Every February, give or take a couple of weeks, more than a million wildebeest, or gnus, gather in the south-eastern quadrant of their quasi-circular migration route.
- With his travelling companions he stood on a hill looking down on the savannah stretching to the far horizon, gigantic herds of gazelle, antelope, gnu, zebra, and warthog grazing and moving forwards like slow rivers.
Late 18th century: from Khoikhoi and San, perhaps imitative of the sound made by the animal when alarmed.

They won't talk: Dallas Cowboys, facility builder
My latest story about the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility collapse adds to a growing list of unanswered questions.
An early one was: Why didn't the thunderstorm of May 2 wreck other structures nearby (right)?
Ensuing ones included: Who was the final engineer of record? What happened to the city of Irving records that should show this? (See my colleague Brandon Formby's update on this issue.)
Did the Cowboys know when they hired designer/manufacturer/builder Summit Structures in 2003 that one of the company's other big tentlike facilities had recently collapsed in Philadelphia, just six weeks after opening? Did Summit workers themselves build the Irving facility, or was the labor subcontracted? If so, to whom?
Newer questions include: Why did the Cowboys, many months before the Irving disaster, hire building-collapse expert Charles Timbie — the engineer who diagnosed design flaws behind the Philly warehouse failure? What exactly did he tell the team was wrong? Why did the team turn to a second consultant, a non-engineer and former drug dealer named Jeffrey Galland? Which of his recommended fixes were not done and why?
The Cowboys are giving a blanket "no comment" to all my questions. Canada-based Summit isn't answering much of anything but did have local spokeswoman Laurey Peat put out this statement over the weekend (click below to read the whole thing):

Getting to Fraser Island from Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is located about 3 hours drive North of Brisbane (approximately 300 kilometres) and around 2 hours North of Noosa. You simply follow the Bruce Highway out of Brisbane, through Gympie (about 1 1/2 hours from Brisbane) then take the Maryborough exit. From Maryborough follow the signs to Hervey Bay, which takes about half an hour.
The town consists of around 50,000 residents and is famous for fishing, boating, holidaying, but it is probably most famous for its seasonal visits by Humpback Whales (June to November). The car/passenger ferry terminals are located at the south-east end of the bay which can be reached by following Boat Harbour Drive all the way to the end and making a left hand turn. Once you have finalised you hire arrangements with us you can collect your National Park Permits and Vehicle Access from the barge landing sites. The ferry takes between 25 and 40 minutes to reach the island from which you are then ready to undertake you 4wd adventure.
The Kingfisher passenger ferry runs from Urangan Boat Harbour and costs $48 return (adult), $24 return (child) and runs 4 times daily. You can also travel on the Fraser Dawn Vehicle and Passenger ferry from Urangan for $110 per vehicle (this is a return trip and includes up to 4 adults). Extra passengers are $6 per person return. Both barges take around 45 minutes.
To save money, fuel your vehicle up before arriving on Fraser Island.

Weekly news, emails, and group-running articles for student leaders. Check in every week for new postings!
Subscribe to receive "This Week" emails in your inbox here. Leaders and members of affiliate groups, off-campus supporters, and others are welcome!
In this message:
Darwin Day is a fantastic opportunity for your secular student group to take part in a national celebration of education and science. Groups around the country, and around the world, will be taking part and celebrating the birth of one of the most important scientists of the modern era.
We have posters and brochures to order if you plan on having an event observing Darwin Day on campus. Be sure to order the materials (via tabling supplies) soon!
Special offer for Secular Student Alliance members and partners! From now, through June 30, 2015, you can get an exclusive 25% discount on the purchase of an educationally licensed DVD or digital stream of No Dinosaurs in Heaven—a documentary about the importance of teaching evolution, not creationism, in our schools. Produced and directed by Emmy award winning filmmaker and science educator, Greta Schiller, the documentary weaves together two strands: an examination of the problem posed by creationists who earn scientific education degrees, only to advocate anti-scientific beliefs; and a visually stunning raft trip down the Grand Canyon, led by the National Center for Science Education Director Dr. Eugenie Scott, that debunks creationist explanations for its formation. "Great movie and discussion after led by members of our biology department!" - Brent Jensen, Faculty Advisor, Secular Student Alliance at College of Southern Idaho View the trailer and download a free digital discussion guide. Order now, in time for Darwin Day! Receive 25% off with SSA coupon code SSANDH. Purchase the film for your group, or recommend it for inclusion in your school's library collection (faculty advisors can make the request)—and ensure it's availability for SSA future generations! Contact them with questions, or to invite the filmmaker for an in person or Skype Q&A.
The Secular Student Alliance is a non-profit organization and relies almost entirely on donations to continue to operate and serve our many student affiliates and individual secular students. That's why we are asking for $15 a month during 2015 to help us continue to achieve the great things we do. Students may not have the means to contribute but it would help us a lot if you spread the word through social media and elsewhere!
Learn more about the $15 for '15 campaign and share the campaign stories as well. Send people here to contribute. Use the hashtag #15for15 when sharing!
We are now able to offer copies of comedian Keith Lowell Jensen's Cats Made of Rabbits as well as Atheist Christmas with full public screening rights to affiliate groups!
SSA affiliate groups may now borrow the films from SSA national at no cost, complete with public screening rights. You can show the film in any way that you'd like. We include a copy of the public license agreement so that your campus has the documentation it needs. This opportunity is available right now! However, we do have limited copies on hand, so please request a copy as soon as your group has an idea of when you would like to screen the movie.
Check out all the movies you can screen to your group from us on our webpage!
Darwin Day is just a few short months away, so it's never too late to start planning an event in honor of that day. Darwin Day is about celebrating how science and reason make our lives better. Darwin Day is not just about celebrating the Theory of Evolution and the connectedness of all life but is a celebration of scientific explanation. Charles Darwin used his life as an example of a pretty impressive break from the always more comfortable traditional norm in favor of the evidence. You may hold many different types of events for Darwin Day. You can bring a speaker to campus or simply have a little chat and reflect over the importance of the day. Moreover, you can combine multiple events into a day-long celebration, or even a Darwin Week! We have lots of ideas in our Darwin Day hub. We will also have branding materials to send out soon, so look out for those!
In the aftermath of a grand jury's decision not to indict the officer that shot and killed Michael Brown this week in Ferguson, Missouri, we have heard from many of our student leaders who want to take action and are looking for guidance. We at the national Secular Student Alliance have several calls to action for our students and student groups who are frustrated, angry, hurt, and feel compelled to act. Check our website for some ways you can get involved.
This is a final reminder for the Openly Secular Remove Your Mask video contest which ends December 1st! Prizes amount to $3,000 in cash! First place winners will win $1,000, second place winners will win $200, and there are three $100 prizes for runner up winners. There are separate student and non-student categories. Videos featuring individuals and groups of two or more people are allowed, however all people must be 18 years or older.
Check out the website for more information and to submit your video.
The Interfaith Youth Core developed a great resource on tying in one's own theology or ethical philosophy into why they practice interfaith cooperation. The purpose of this resource is to further strengthen the pluralistic basis for interfaith by narrating a mutually enriching rather than mutually exclusive basis for persons of different spiritual identities. The perspectives represented are: Christian, Islamic, Humanist, Jewish, Hindu & Sikh.
Many opportunities of interfaith cooperation stem from one's own religious literacy. Studying this resource will help your group better negotiate and parlay with religious student groups interested in interfaith community service opportunities or simply entering a space of mutual understanding and respect. Learn more about how secular students can get involved with interfaith opportunities on our website!
Lex Bayer and John Figdor, authors of the book Atheist Mind, Humanists Heart: Rewriting the Ten Commandments for the Twenty-first Century, are running the ReThink Prize contest. As part of the promotion for the book, they are asking members of the general public who identify as secular to submit ten top beliefs to live life by in the 21st century. Participants can also vote for their favorite beliefs of other contestants. Ten contestants with the best beliefs will win $1,000 each. All the rules for the contest can be seen on their page. Submission ends November 30th, so enter soon! Want more chances to win money? The Openly Secular Remove Your Mask video contest (which also ends November 30th) is still going on!
Beginning in the summer of 2015, the Humanist Service Corps will support Songtaba and other Ghanaian human rights organizations working to restore dignity to women who have been accused of witchcraft and banished to "witch camps." Although the women are relatively safe from violence once they are in exile, the living conditions are deplorable. They do not have access to basic education and health care, and they are unaware of or are unable to exercise legal protections under Ghanaian and international laws.
Applications for this service trip end December 15th. Go to the Foundation Beyond Belief website for more information on this great opportunity.
If your group has a really cool event coming up, or you've done something noteworthy, not only should you Brag It Up to us, you should also send out a press release! Press releases can seem rather daunting, but no worries - we have an exceptionally comprehensive resource for you on how to write press releases. We even have a fill in the blank press release for you model your own after! If you're still stumped on how to write or send a press release, we also have a real live human being for you to talk to! Kelley Freeman is our Communications Associate and can answer any questions you have about media, proofread your press release, and get you local contacts you can send us your press release! Feel free to email her with any questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
