After several unexpected delays to validate the tool to produce the receipts for the Federal Government's Children's Fitness Tax Credit we are pleased to inform you that the tool is now active for use within the Data Management System.
For the 2011 tax year it is necessary for you to produce the receipts on an individual basis; there is no tool in place for the mass issuing of receipts. While this is a feature that we may consider in the future it is necessary for us to experience at least one tax year with this system working on an individual basis before embarking on further development.
At this time we would like to remind all clubs that while Speed Skating is providing the tool for issuing the Children's Fitness Tax Credit receipts it is the club who is responsible for the accuracy of information contained on each receipt. Your club is in no way required to use this system to issue the tax receipts if it does not wish to do so. The system is designed to validate eligibility based on the birth date of members and their total membership fees paid at the club level in an eligible membership category. In the event of an error in generating a receipt it is possible for you to void the receipt.
For receipt amendments contact Mariamanda Espinoza by phone at the Speed Skating Canada national office. Similarly, once a receipted has been voided it is possible for you to issue a new receipt, however all voided receipts are indicated on the form.
For more information about the Child Fitness Tax Credit please consult the Canadian Revenue Agency's website
Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact with Speed Skating Canada at (613) 260-3669 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

In reply
I appreciate Dr Simon's reply regarding our study. We agree that medication prescribing in young children is too often based on anecdote and experience rather than evidence. However, in our experience, the lack of evidence on medications for children is partly because of the obstacles in conducting pediatric research. It is important to take proper precautions when conducting studies on children, but at times insitutional review boards, funding agencies, or physicians would rather use untested medications on children rather than encouraging quality research in controlled settings. At present, one of the most common problems new parents face, childhood sleep disorders, has few well-conducted randomized controlled studies. Although Congress passed the Pediatric Research Equity Act of 2003, which was endorsed by both the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services commissioner and the Health and Human Services secretary, it is still very difficult to conduct effectiveness translational research in children. It is time that parents and pediatricians start relying on evidence-based medicine supported and encouraged by institutions set up to protect and treat children.

The shawl is named after the Lady of the Lake from the Arthurian legend.
In many versions she is the one who gives Arthur the legendary sword Excalibur.
The nature and water theme of the lace and particular the metal pin which stands out in my parasol reminded me of this part in the legend.
The shawl starts with a circular cast on
and is worked in spirals from the inside out.
**Needle:** US2 1/2 (3mm) circular needle 24 inch (60cm) or longer
**Yarn:** 2448 yards (2240m) light fingering weight
**Notions:** Stitchmarker, umbrella with a 65cm radius
The pattern is written for an experienced or advanced knitter.
Lace is worked in knit as well as purl stitches.
Part of the lace is knitted in every row but it's easier then it looks.
It ends in generous ruffles which can be adjusted in length.

Understanding Mass Tort Defendant Incentives for Confidential Settlements: Lessons from Bayer's Cerivastatin Litigation Strategy
James M. Anderson
RAND Corporation
September 9, 2008
RAND Working Paper Series No. WR- 617-ICJ
U. of Pittsburgh Legal Studies Research
Settlement agreements that require a plaintiff not to disclose or publicize any information about her claim are both common and controversial. Under some conditions, however, a mass tort defendant will rationally choose to discourage such secrecy. A defendant can use publicity to act as a commitment device akin to a most-favored-nation agreement to increase its bargaining power with plaintiffs. The paper uses the real world example of Bayer's cerivastatin litigation as a case study to illustrate this theory in practice and to explore the public policy implications of this finding.

Welcome to WallerBlog. My little niche on the internet. My name is Jeremy Waller and….I confess I am an incurable entrepreneur. I am happily married to my wonderful wife and we have twin boys on the way!
I currently work for a really great company, but have a desire to eventually be working for myself.
I originally started this blog just for fun, posting funny videos, interesting sites and such. I soon found that a lot of people were doing what I doing, but they were making money off of it and I wasn't. So began my journey to earn an income online.
I'm now 4 years into this journey and haven't reached my goal yet, but I have learned so much along the way. I recently relaunched this blog to keep me focused on the high-value tasks that I know I need to do to find success.
I'm so glad you're here. I love helping people. I hope so much that what I share here let's you avoid so many of the mistakes I have made.
To our success!
Jeremy Waller

With each day that we draw closer to the NFL draft, the din of rumors, speculation and, of course, predictions grows louder and louder. Information is scattered around all corners of the media, and things just seem to start making less and less sense.
That's why we're here to help. The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the more complete overall rosters coming into this year's NFL draft, but it doesn't make their decisions any easier or carry less weight than other teams in the league.
If you want the latest updates on who the Bengals may be considering and the major storylines surrounding the team as the draft approaches, consider this your one-stop shop. Until the draft begins, this will be updated with everything you need to know about the Bengals' pre-draft process.


text: This being the 100th anniversary of the 1913 flood made me start thinking about the state of Tiffin after that horrible time. I'm sure there were people who hoped another flood would never happen, while other people rightly assumed it was much more likely to occur again. They had a choice, to build a flood wall or not. Most everyone benefited to some degree by the decision to build the wall, even now, 100 years later.

The genesis of Ingrid Croce's candid and engrossing new book about her late husband, I Got a Name: The Jim Croce Story, goes back to 1988. That was 15 years after the Philadelphia native and singer of such hits as "Bad Bad Leroy Brown," "Operator" - and "I Got a Name" - died in a plane crash.
"I didn't want to do this book unless I could do it right," the 65-year-old restaurateur, herself a native Philadelphian, says from her home in San Diego. "I thought about it over the many years I was in litigation" over the crash and record royalties, "and then when I got out of litigation and when I opened Croce's Restaurant as a tribute to Jim."

Scheduled to headline 6 of Europe's largest heavy metal festivals, MANOWAR embarks on this summer's "DEATH TO INFIDELS TOUR!"

In 2009, the crusade blazes through Europe armed with allies, HOLYHELL, and the legions of faithful metal warriors following the call to raise their arms, lock their wrists and sound the cry "HAIL AND KILL!"
"In every country in the world, there are the followers of "false metal." MANOWAR and our fans are disciples of "true metal" and feel the need to wipe the infidels off the face of the planet through the power of heavy metal MANOWAR style," said Joey DeMaio, bassist for MANOWAR.

The grand finale of the tour will be MANOWAR's call to arms for true metal warriors the world over, the Magic Circle Festival III on July 18, 2009 at the Loreley on the Rhine River in Germany where the world premiere songs from their forthcoming CD, entitled "Hammer Of The Gods" will be performed.

IT is a gruelling worldwide treasure hunt that has taken its participants to some of the most stunning locations on the planet.
Solving mysteries locked by centuries old codes, the ten contestants in Channel 4's newest game show The Search have delved into Egyptian pyramids, French castle vaults and even passed the ancient ruins of the Incas and the Mayans.
But tonight, in the show's finale, the quest for the 50,000 grand prize is set to be solved in a rather more humble location.
For the chest of riches that the team has been searching for over the past month or so will be discovered in Craigmillar.
Producers for the show - which is presented by Jamie Theakston - had been scouring the UK for a suitable place to end the series and decided to use the story of Mary Queen of Scots to film the final episode in Edinburgh.
The contestants in the finale will be seen solving clues in Edinburgh Castle and breaking codes used by the historic monarch to locate the buried treasure, which programme bosses decided to hide in the shadow of Craigmillar Castle.
Producer Lucas Green said: "The show has already seen the contestants travel to locations around the world, but we really wanted to bring it back to Britain.
"The ethos of the programme has been about code-breaking and mysteries, so the story of Mary Queen of Scots really fitted in with that.
"She used to regularly write codes during her life and they play a big part in Edinburgh's history. One of the last plots ever hatched during her reign took place at Craigmillar Castle, so it was an ideal location for us.
"We filmed at Edinburgh Castle and then found a very dramatic spot in Craigmillar to bury the chest."
The show has been inspired by the popularity of code-breaking mysteries such as the Da Vinci Code and also includes excerpts detailing the history of each location the team visits.
For the Edinburgh episode, the programme-makers also had to work together with the castles' operators, Historic Scotland.
Sarah Jones, assistant filming and events manager at Historic Scotland, said: 'The Search producers were looking for locations with not only strong associations with Mary Queen of Scots, but enough magnificence and presence to inspire the contestants to solve the final clues and discover the treasure.
"Filming began at Edinburgh Castle, with clues hidden within the royal apartments, where Mary, Queen of Scots gave birth to James VI of Scotland and I of England.
"Contestants also stumbled upon our dungeons, finding themselves trapped and caught in a game where only logic could save them."
Speaking about the filming in Craigmillar, Chris Tabraham, principal historian at Historic Scotland added: "Craigmillar Castle is a hidden treasure itself and so a fitting place to end this global quest.
"Beyond its great historical significance, the castle is simply magnificent. It is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Britain.
"Working with the Channel 4 team was a pleasure, and I hope we succeeded in our endeavours to bring both castles alive for the viewers, perhaps inspiring them to take a trip themselves to see Edinburgh's historical treasures."
The Search will be shown at 5.20pm on Channel 4 tonight.

Remember the 2012 droughts that ravaged a meaningful portion of the U.S. corn and soy bean crop? If you are expecting them to occur with more regularity in the future, then miners and marketers of the fertilizer component potassium, or potash, could benefit if you turn out to be a better forecaster than your local weatherman.
When assessing the benefits of the three most common fertilizer components -- nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium -- potassium leaps out as the clear-cut choice when hoping to protect against arid conditions. The nutrient produced by companies like PotashCorp (NYSE: POT ) and Agrium (NYSE: AGU ) allows for more efficient utilization of water by corn, soy beans, and any number of other crops or plants. According to PotashCorp, treating an acre with 100 pounds of potassium has the potential to boost yields up to 50%.
Taking that math into account, it's hard to understand why farmers the world over would choose not to utilize this critical soil nutrient in some form or another. As the No. 1 producer of potash in the world, PotashCorp is much more exposed to the ebbs and flows of global demand. It received a nice boost when China finally settled contract negotiations last December, and its spring purchases should be a record. Unfortunately, many forecasts estimate that potash supply should remain well ahead of demand for at least the next five years.
All of that could change, however, with a few more droughts like the one the U.S. experienced in 2012. Because the world depends so heavily on the production of U.S. farmers, it is critical that our yields keep growing in tandem with the worldwide population. If we can maintain a rate slightly ahead of that, it would provide a buffer in down years. As arable land continues to disappear, fertilizer demand is seemingly guaranteed to rise.
Investors who are still nervous about this oversupply weighing on prices could look to Agrium for some potash exposure without the same dependence. The company's retail segment offers a revenue stream that isn't solely reliant on fertilizer demand. Its other offerings among pesticides, fungicides, and various application services still benefit from the growth in agriculture but don't necessarily play favorites between fertilizer nutrients.
For most farmers, one nutrient just isn't enough. A nutrient that has paired well in the fields with potash is nitrogen. Companies producing nitrogen-based fertilizers have been experiencing excellent margins over the last year thanks to cheap feedstocks provided by North American natural gas. With more than 80% of its revenue stemming from nitrogen fertilizers, CF Industries (NYSE: CF ) turned in a return of 32% in 2012, well above the 11.7% of the S&P 500. Unfortunately, natural gas prices have risen and likely pressured the stock a bit lower. Year to date, shares have underperformed a hot market by 18.6%. One thing investors should look for here is higher-than-expected demand because nitrogen's supply and demand balance is much tighter than that of potash. If this takes place, prices and, in turn, nitrogen fertilizer producers' stock will likely rise.
Droughts aren't the only enemy of our global food supply
With less and less arable land available around the world, increasing yields from existing plots could become vitally important to keeping up with expected population growth. Cheap and effective fertilizers could be the key to achieving this goal. As the global leader in potash production, PotashCorp has established several barriers to entry that make it nearly impossible for competition to break through. Click here now to access The Motley Fool's premium research report that covers precisely what these barriers to entry are and details several other key reasons why PotashCorp presents such a compelling investment opportunity today.

on March 9, 2014 - 12:01 AM
By Tracy K. Smith
5pm on the nose. They open their mouths
And it rolls out: high, shrill and metallic.
First the boy, then his sister. Occasionally,
They both let loose at once, and I think
Of putting on my shoes to go up and see
Whether it is merely an experiment
Their parents have been conducting
Upon the good crystal, which must surely
Lie shattered to dust on the floor.
Maybe the mother is still proud
Of the four pink lungs she nursed
To such might. Perhaps, if they hit
The magic decibel, the whole building
Will lift-off, and we'll ride to glory
Like Elijah. If this is it – if this is what
Their cries are cocked toward – let the sky
Pass from blue, to red, to molten gold,
To black. Let the heaven we inherit approach.
Whether it is our dead in Old Testament robes,
Or a door opening onto the roiling infinity of space.
Whether it will bend down to greet us like a father,
Or swallow us like a furnace. I'm ready
To meet what refuses to let us keep anything
For long. What teases us with blessings,
Bends us with grief. Wizard, thief, the great
Wind rushing to knock our mirrors to the floor,
To sweep our short lives clean. How mean
Our racket seems beside it. My stereo on shuffle.
The neighbor chopping onions through a wall.
All of it just a hiccough against what may never
Come for us. And the kids upstairs still at it,
Screaming like the Dawn of Man, as if something
They have no name for has begun to insist
Upon being born.
TRACY K. SMITH will read from her work at 7 p.m. Thursday in a Canisius College Contemporary Writers Series event in the Grupp Fireside Lounge, in the Richard E. Winter Student Center, 80 Hughes Ave. She is the author of three collections of poems. She is the author of three collections of poems, "The Body's Question" (2003), which won the Cave Canem prize for the best first book by an African-American poet; "Duende" (2007), winner of the James Laughlin Award and the Essence Literary Award; and "Life on Mars" (Graywolf Press, 2011), which won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. This poem originally appeared in "Life on Mars."

Labels: Hiking in Sondrio province
In September of last year I wrote about a wonderful fundraising event that was put on by veteran Alpini of Ronco Briantino. The Alpini, in case you don't know, are the alpine brigade of the Italian Army and while it shouldn't be any surprise that we attended their function to aide Abruzzo's earthquake victims (good food, good wine, great people and I am there!), it did come as a small shock to learn that they had stumbled across my post. Viva the internet! In that post I made it very clear how much I wanted one of their cool Tasi e Tira tshirts. [The phrase basically means to quit talking and pull, a verbal reinforcement to keep going when the going gets tough.] Well imagine my surprise when a recent email invited me to pick one up for myself.
MotH and I met with the Alpini a few nights ago and I cannot say enough on how nice those guys are. We were taken on a tour of their "baita" (home) where they meet, took a peek into their kitchen and dining hall, and both of us received Tasi e Tira tshirts. Today I was going to wear my new tshirt when my twin sister came over to help with making plum preserves, but changed my mind. The last thing I wanted was her asking for the tshirt off of my back.
Okay I was kidding about the twin sister; the image above was 'shopped. I'm just happy, over the tshirt, over the fact that summer vacation has officially begun and MotH can have some down time. Food festivals here we come - Mr B is giving a hint on what's in store next.

Smart Money: The Effect of Education on Financial Behavior
Shawn Allen Cole

University of Virginia
April 11, 2012
Harvard Business School Finance Working Paper No. 09-071
Household financial decisions are important for both households and the greater economy. Yet, our understanding of the process of financial decision-making is limited. Applying standard and two-sample instrumental variables strategies to census and credit bureau data, we provide the first precise, causal estimates of the effects of education on financial behavior. Education has large effects on financial market participation and smaller, but statistically and economically significant effects on financial management. We find that education improves credit scores, and dramatically reduces the probability of declaring bankruptcy or suffering foreclosure during the financial crisis. Examining mechanisms, we show that cognitive ability increases financial participation, and discuss how education may affect decision-making through: attitudes, borrowing behavior, discount rates, risk-aversion, and the influence of coworkers and neighbors.

I don't really care if Sonic's in personally. I would rather get it sooner than delay if Sonic's the reason.
I don't think that they would make sonic a character and have him playable for a press conference in such a small time span. sakurai said he was getting slowed up in development but he expected everything would go fine. he prolly wants to add voice chat and better online. that's my theory, you heard it here first!!Originally Posted by manufan15

Arts Exhibition: Ainu Treasures: A Living Tradition in Northern JapanJanuary 20, 2013 - May 5, 2013
Manoa Campus, East-West Center Gallery, John A. Burns Hall
The Ainu are an indigenous people of Japan. "Ainu" means "human" in the Ainu language. They once inhabited northern Honshu (Japan's largest island), Hokkaido, southern Sakhalin, and the Kurile Islands. Most Ainu now live in Hokkaido, with a limited number in Tokyo, in other parts of Japan, and abroad.
In recent decades, indigenous people throughout the world have taken the initiative to revive their traditional cultures and the Ainu are no exception. One of the examples of such an attempt is a project for Ainu artists to make replicas of Ainu artifacts owned by various museums. This activity is helpful for the Ainu people to regain what has been lost and integrate the traditional skills of ancestors into contemporary works. Moreover, these new cultural resources inspire both innovation and creativity among Ainu artists.
This exhibition features modern Ainu masterpieces and reproductions of Ainu artifacts held by Hokkaido University's Botanic Garden Museum; early 20th century Ainu handicrafts from the Bishop Museum in Honolulu; historic and contemporary photographs of Ainu craftsmen; and video clips showing historical and social context.
Curator: Michael Schuster
Guest Curator, Photographer: Koji Yamasaki
Additional research: Masaru Kato, Nanako Iwasa, Vincent Mitsuharu Okada
Exhibit design: Lynne Najita,Michael Schuster
Guest visual artists and lecturers: Toru Kaizawa, Jirota Kitahara
Guest performers: Oki, Marewrew, Shusei Toko, Ikuo Yamamaru
The Ainu Treasures project was made possible by generous support from The Japan Foundation and Hawaiian Airlines.
Additional support provided by the Hawaii Pacific Rim Society, Friends of Hawaii Charities, Honolulu Festival, The Foundation for Research and Promotion of Ainu Culture, The Ainu Association of Hokkaido, and contributors to the EWC Foundation, including members of the EWC Arts 'Ohana.

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
I can't remember exactly where designer watches come in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but I'm sure they're in there somewhere. That might explain how Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL ) has managed to make such a strong and extended run. The stock is up 12% this year, and 50% over the last 12 months. All that growth has pushed Fossil's P/E to 18, but it's still substantially cheaper than many of the luxury brands it mingles with.
That in itself isn't a good reason to buy Fossil, but it does make it more attractive. In addition, the watch retailer also has strong sales growth and excellent brand tie-ins. Here's a rundown of the three reasons I like Fossil, right now.
Retail sales rising
Fossil is a wholesaler first -- we'll cover that next -- but it also runs a successful retail business. Last quarter, the company boasted a 4.3% increase in comparable sales, bucking the cold-weather downer that many retailers saw. That increase resulted in retail sales accounting for almost a quarter of total sales, and highlighted the strength that Fossil's own brand has.
As a retailer, Fossil has worked to grow the share of its income generated in its own stores. That has led the company to expand its product line, and it now carries bags, jewelry, and other accessories. While not every category has made a splash each quarter, the company has managed to make itself a force to be reckoned with in the mall. Comparable sales have now grown for the last 20 quarters. That's a trend investors can get behind.
Wholesale growth
On the wholesale side of the business, Fossil is really playing to its strengths. Last quarter, wholesale revenue rose 13.5%, with the European division seeing the strongest growth. That business competes most directly with the Movado Group (NYSE: MOV ) , which produces watches for most of the designers that Fossil doesn't cover. To compare, Movado's revenue was up just 6.1% last quarter. Fossil's edge came from the company's strong portfolio of brands -- which is what we're going to call a segue.
Strong brand portfolio
The company produces watches for Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS ) , DKNY, and Adidas, to name a few. That stacks up against Movado's collection of Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, and Coach. Recently, Kors has been driving the train at Fossil. Management on both sides of the partnership called out the strength of the business, with Kors calling out watches as one of its biggest business drivers. Watches have helped Kors push its comparable sales along at breakneck speed, and that's not going to stop anytime soon.
While Movado's Coach tie-in is generating sales, the company has struggled to strike the right tone with the watches. Later this year, Movado is going to give it another try, repositioning the brand message associated with its Coach line, in the hope that it will help spur sales.
Looking ahead, Fossil is hopeful that its partnership with Tory Burch will start to accelerate sales. Burch is rumored to be mere months away from an IPO, and industry onlookers have been referring to it as the next Kors. If that pans out, Fossil could see a jump in sales as the brand explodes into the marketplace. With its strong Fossil brand sales, excellent wholesale growth, and huge potential in its growing portfolio, Fossil looks like a good bet.
Michael Kors is one of today's hottest high-end fashion brands, and that's translated into one of the best-performing stocks in retail -- since its debut on the market in late 2011, the share price has more than doubled. But with all that growth, has the stock finally become too expensive, or is there still room left to run? The Motley Fool's premium report on Michael Kors gives investors all the information they need to make the right decision. We cover the key must-watch areas, opportunities, and threats to the company that investors need to know. To claim your copy, simply click here now for instant access.

Skip to comments.Russian PM not joking extraterrestrials live among us according to MIB documentary
Posted on 01/03/2013 6:36:29 PM PST by BenLurkin
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedevs off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy after all, but to a recent Russian television documentary titled Men in Black that reveals many details about an extensive cover up of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
However, a more accurate translation of what Medvedev actually said about the Men in Black phenomenon was: You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name. So Medvedev was referring to a Russian documentary film titled Men in Black, not the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name...
Russian Men In Black (MIB) documentary, a number of prominent UFO cases in Russia and the USA are discussed. The Roswell UFO crash is covered, along with a number of extraterrestrial abduction cases, and UFOs disabling nuclear weapons facilities. The documentary examines testimony that extraterrestrial bases have been established on Earth, and that some are in restricted US military areas with the full knowledge of the Pentagon. The documentary even goes on to seriously discuss President Eisenhowers alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, where agreements were reached with some of the visitors giving them permission to take some of the Earths resources in exchange for advanced technology...

I'll deliver the Hugs the next chance I get. XO
It's been nice, you know. I haven't had to change a diaper yet, and I have barely even noticed them up at night. I'm starting to like this job of Grandparent.
I will put some little mitties in the mail on Monday. Marshall is too beautiful to scratch his own face! My son was BALD until he was almost 9 months old, so Marshall looks great! Like a BOY!
That's sweet Face!
For now he is wearing socks on his hands. The cuffs help keep them on.
My daughter and son were bald too, lol.
I hope the mitties get there before Marshall starts school...
Too late Hun! I've been teaching him. I told him about stars, and soil, and growing things, and light, and, lol, can Ya tell I'm loving this?
There is so much for him to learn.
And you only have 18 years at worst, a lifetime at best. You GO, Gramma!
We always need more baby pictures! I could look at his adorable tiny face forever! (But my Offspring are getting in trouble ...)
You're going East in one month, but not to where Bob lives.
I'm very nearly at the center of the East, right next to the drain.
You can see the vortex forming up in the sky on a daily basis.
That happened in Oklahoma, too ... but it was just weather, not the Wrath of God.
That's true...but perhaps he could meet us...?
I got a sample of the latest Steampunk coloring book in email yesterday...I am amazed and curious, and need to learn more so I can color the pages intelligently. I mean, how uncool would it be to color some Steampunk pages in psychedelic colors? *blech*
I gotta go to bed, kids.
Life has crept up on me, and I don't want to give in to it...
Busdaddy has pneumonia. I'm still waiting for details.
Meck. library has some Steampunk design books. I'll check them out for your visit! Colors tend to be neutrals or muted, with flashes of brilliant accents.
Take care, big time! Rest, tea, vitamins and yarbs!
I printed those samples, too, and I have the book on order. I may try the one with the balloons tonight. I've mucked up the Alhambra geometric pattern I was doing: too many colors, even for me. When you've copied the page from the book, there's no cost to giving up!
LOL, they are so cute before they get in trouble.
By comparing the coloring book to the paper-doll book, we can do the Authenticies of Color! I am so clever! And also, I can get the library books ...
You have a few months ... until he rolls over and then does it again ...
Oh my.
He will be rolling over soon!
And then crawling!
Oh my.
4 months is average for rolling. 9-10 months for crawling. You have plenty of time, and it will seem like forever to the parents!
Ridiculous notion. Mapquest says it would take eight hours drive-time, and maybe a hundred dollars in fuel.
Each way.
Maybe I could stop by my printer's, and pick up several boxes of books.
Don't forget that little connection method is right on the Palm. Choose Local and Bluetooth to PC/Handheld. The first is above the little sync symbol, the latter is in a drop list below.
See how it is? No one tells me nuttin'...
This module must have been left out of your Babelfish. Click on this to add the tamale module to your Babelfish account... ;-)
No problem. After dumping about 4" total of solidified globull warming on us, the sunbeams were out in force today and natural thermal forces caused the mass of solidified globull warming to assume a watery appearance... ;-)
Please wait,Salivating taking place.
Steamed in Corn husks...this is going to be fun! :)
*Your module was installed successfully and is now ready to use.*
Morning everyone. Happy Daylight Savings Time.
Thanks. I think the problem I'm having now is the stress (no other word I can think of) of getting the vehicle, and the fiasco at the DMV. It just takes a while for it all to show up, and then it smacks me upside the head. Having Busdaddy sick has been stressful, as well.
As soon as it's lighter outside, I will go check on Busdaddy. But I need some coffee, first!
Then I will come back and work on the PDA again.
I did that, RG, but it is giving me the message that the "serial port is in use by another application." I don't know how to remedy it.
I'm thinking of uninstalling everything and reinstalling and see if that helps. Other than that, I'm stymied.
We're going to be having some 80 degree weather by next Sunday. YAY!
I'm heading out. I'll be back after a while.
Hi 'Face!
See you later. :)
Hi Face. Send some of that weather this way soon, please.
uh oh ... and me thought I was being good. Shame on me.
hey I was in the top two. You were #1.
You were breathing too loudly.
It's 50 here, according to my beeber. When I leave for church at noon, I won't have to wear a coat.
The cat was late today. I was up soon after 6:00, EDT, but I had to get Kathleen and her dad up, and then pick up Tom and Elen from an overnight at church, and then DP and Pat went to Mass and I was herding the other kids ...
Also, I had breakfast.
If am understanding correctly the library kitty said to stop breathing? Okay, am beginning to stop. Wasn't snoring earlier was I and this caused the rebuke? Sorry library kitty!
Maybe, when you recover consciousness, the kitteh will have moved on to rebuke someone whose heart is beating too loudly.
okay blackout coming ... falling down and not getting up.
Where do you find the time for Breakfast?
Do you have to create folds in Space-time in order to eat?
Herding kids...LOL.

Retailers are slowly moving toward acceptance of mobile payments, but smaller merchants have often felt left out of the mix. Many processors who handle retail payment transactions charge extra fees on mobile transactions, pricing out smaller businesses that want to let customers pay for goods or services via a mobile device.
But an offering from McLean, Va.-based Sage Payment Solutions initially developed to handle such businesses as charitable organizations or medical service providers is now being directed at small retailers.
Although there are a number of mobile offerings in the market, what is different about Sage is the pricing. It comes with a set-up fee that can run as low as $10.95 per month with no additional mobile processing fees.
"We view mobile devices as an extension of most small businesses' payment options," says Greg Hammermaster, president of Sage Payment Solutions. "But most mobile offerings require retailers to pay extra fees on transaction devices beyond what they would pay on other point-of-sale devices."
Hammermaster notes that some mobile offerings add 1 percent plus upwards of 37 cents for each transaction. While this pricing may be acceptable to businesses that don't process a lot of credit card transactions, it can be quite costly for businesses using mobile devices to process credit cards on a regular basis, he says.
Instead, Sage charges a standard monthly payment processing fee that has no additional surcharges for mobile transactions. "We believe that the exorbitant transaction fees being charged in the market today do not work in the retail environment," Hammermaster says. "We believe that retailers should not have to pay more on mobile transactions."
Compatibility counts
Security is an important component of any mobile product, and the Sage solution provides end-to-end encryption and is compliant with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. All customer data flowing through Sage Mobile Payments is encrypted before it leaves a customer's cell phone and no personal data is retained on the mobile computing device.
While many mobile services are limited to a small group of compatible phones, Sage's service is compatible with more than 400 phones.
"A lot of businesses have sales reps in the market and they are all using different types of phones," Hammermaster says. "You need to be compatible with all of them or you will have to require them all to purchase new phones — a costly endeavor."
Sage is working on tests to integrate the delivery of coupons or gift cards via mobile phones. In such applications, customers can get a coupon texted to them, and can then click on a link to redeem the coupon online or present their phone at a retail location's POS. Among the more obvious applications for this capability would be fast-food or pizza delivery restaurants, Hammermaster says.

quote: 3. TCO is far more important than initial purchase price
quote: First you sound like a car person - c-segment, b-segment, who talks like that about car buying?
quote: Thrid - the Volt is over $40,000 - what world do you live in?
quote: Second, who cares what the price you'll get in 10 years, yes 10 years, after owning the car?
quote: If someone says the Volt is a 47,000+ car.. well that is just dishonest. To get 47,000 you must check every single option, including chrome wheels.
quote: Your saying "who cares what price I pay for using the car, I just want it to appear cheap." Really? You don't care how much it costs to use you car? Btw, I got this great wallet. Its free. But it destroys money. Its free though, so you can't get cheaper than free.
quote: How is it "dishonest"? Anyway this is really immature nitpicking and you know it.
quote: Also industry data compiled over years and years shows that most people who buy new cars, only keep that car around 5 years.
quote: So again, economically, the Volt makes no sense.
quote: Yes good value for your money is somewhat correct, but if I can get a car for even 1/2 the price of the Volt, that's the one for the majority of buyers.
quote: From your posting I can see you don't fit in with the cheap car crowd and probably could afford the Volt. Well go ahead and buy it. No one esle will - that's the point we are trying to get you to see! Most everyone can see that the Volt is NOT a good buy! What is there added on to it that makes it $20,000 better than the Prius? I didn't say better, I said $20,000 better!
quote: True, but that just doesn't matter!
quote: Thanks to a wholesale blitz by people mainly wanting to make a political statement the perceived value of the Volt has been reduced and the perceived cost increased. The end loser? The US taxpayer. Congrats everyone!
quote: If your statement is the Volt is garbage because its too expensive for the majority of US citizens... well I take exception.
quote: I never ONCE called the Volt garbage or said it was low quality or a poor value.
quote: But we know now that gas prices hurt SUV sales, NOT media coverage.
quote: Ah I knew it. That's your angle.
quote: Brevity is the soul of wit, after all :)
quote: Its the only Car made in AMERICA that is able to be run 100% on AMERICAN made fuel sources from AMERICAN raw materials
quote: AMERICAN made fuel sources
quote: If you two can explain why the most hyped vehicle in our countries history since the Ford Model T has totally flopped, besides an attempt to blame the media, I would love to hear it.
quote: I know about segments, nobody uses those when they buy a car. NOBODY.
quote: And I don't think the Volt was hyped more than any car in the past say 75 years
quote: And I don't think the Volt was hyped more than any car in the past say 75 years.
quote: Nor do I think the sales from one year where cars were not even available to purchase really count yet as a flop. (I was not until Nov. 2011 did cars even start arriving in most of the US. Gee, 3 months on the market and its a flop?!?)

High Resolution Capacitor Meter
author Roman Black:
Roman Black has described an easy to build Pic based high resolution capacitance meter on his web site. In need of a way to measure my junk box cap collection, I quickly saw the advantage of his design and built a copy.
When using a DMM cap tester it is soon apparent that they work well on the larger caps, which is not really that helpful as the large caps are usually well marked. Small caps, in the pf and nano range, are a different story, tiny cryptic markings, if at all, and inconsistent, non-repeatable readings on the DMM.
What a treat then to use Roman's 0 to 50 MFD cap tester and be able to read down to several pf, with rock steady, repeatable results.

Williamsport forward Achilles Watson asks coach Allen Taylor the same question every game.
"Who's the man?" he inquires.
Watson is not asking rhetorically and he is not looking for praise. He simply wants to know who the opponent's best player is because he wants to guard him. Watson knows his role and he embraces it.
Article Photos
Achilles Watson of Williamsport steals the ball from Charles Cox of Westinghouse in the second quarter Saturday at Williamsport.
He excels at it too. Watson might not light up the scoring sheet, but he does all the little things that are necessary to win and Williamsport is thriving with him in the lineup. Watson scored 11 points, grabbed six rebounds, dealt three assists, blocked two shots and made two steals Saturday as Williamsport hammered visiting Westinghouse, 81-44. All five starters scored in double figures and the Millionaires improved to 5-0 for the first time since the 2001-02 season.
"I'm having so much fun. It was a great night," Watson said. "I like this role more than scoring. Playing off the bench last year helped me get up to the speed of the game and I've learned to play better."
It is showing. Jahad Thomas is a reigning all-state player and Isaiah Washington and Chris Kinley have earned Division I scholarships. Williamsport is loaded with scorers, but it needs a defensive stopper who crashes the boards and can help in all areas. Watson is that player.
Williamsport never trailed last night, but Westinghouse was making a big second-quarter run before Watson made a nice inside pass to Tyler Gardner with 44 seconds remaining. That sparked a 6-0 run that put the Millionaires up 35-20 at halftime. Watson then started the second half with an assist to Washington and scored inside off a Thomas assist, making it 43-20. A putback, a block and a rebound that led to a fast-break basket was part of a first-quarter run as well, highlighting all the qualities Watson provides.
"Achilles is doing an outstanding job on the boards and he is being very selfless. He is sacrificing himself for the good of the team by taking on the team's top scorer every game," Williamsport coach Allen Taylor said. "He knows he has to exert a lot of energy on defense but that he has his teammates to pick up the slack on offense. And just by him doing his role he is getting his points because he's crashing the boards and getting those putbacks."
All the Millionaires are flourishing in their roles and it showed as they hit 54 percent of their shots and played stifling defense while efficiently and unselfishly moving the basketball. Thomas scored 23 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, dealt five assists and made five steals while Washington had 16 points, five assists and three steals. Kinley was a force inside with 12 points and 15 rebounds, while point guard Herb Stelly brilliantly ran the offense and scored 11 points while adding six assists.
Williamsport played about as well as a team can in the fourth quarter, outscoring Westinghouse, 27-8. The Millionaires made 10 of their 14 shots and opened the quarter on a 16-0 run. Williamsport players consistently worked for good shots and rarely put up bad ones, finishing with 23 assists.
"That (unselfishness) shows the kind of character we have and the kind of players and we are and shows how well we want to play for Coach," Watson said. "The more we play together the better we get, but there is always more to learn and there is more we can improve on."
"That's what we look for. We look to see everyone moving the ball and sharing the ball," Taylor said. "They did a great job looking for each other. We knew when they extended their defense the backdoor cuts were going to be there and it just about worked to perfection. They were making good passes and finishing strong."
Stelly found Washington for an alley-oop on Williamsport's second possession and set the tone for his night. The senior point guard seems to be getting better every time he plays. He was a defensive ace last year and still is, but he also is becoming an offensive weapon and is doing an excellent job finding open players while also providing some scoring punch.
"Herb has always played point guard and last year he kind of finally came out of his shell," Watson said. "Now he is kind of exploding."
So far, so his the whole team.

By Sen. Goeff Hansen
We owe so much to the patriots who answered our nation's call of duty to protect our lives at the cost of their own.
Memorial Day gives us the chance to stand together, give thanks and pay tribute to the heroic servicemen and servicewomen who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom.
Since our nation's founding, more than 1 million men and women have given their lives in service to our country. That's why it is so important to preserve the "memorial" in Memorial Day by honoring those who have died in the cause of freedom. There are many ways to commemorate their sacrifice, including:
• Attending a local ceremony or parade. I will be paying tribute to service personnel at several Memorial Day events planned in my district.
• Observing the National Moment of Remembrance. This observance asks Americans to pause in their daily activities at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day to honor those who laid down their lives.
• Flying your flag at home or the office at half-staff from sunrise to noon.
Let's take the time to remember our country's fallen soldiers on this special day and make sure their legacy of sacrifice and service is never taken for granted or forgotten.

FLINT, Michigan - A 30-year-old Flint man is in the Genesee County jail after his 2-year-old daughter shot his 3-year-old daughter in the hand Wednesday afternoon, said Flint police Sgt. Marcus Mahan.
The children found the loaded gun on the father's bed, Mahan said.
The 3-year-old was taken to Hurley Medical Center by the dad, and then transported to the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's hospital, Mahan said.
The 2-year-old also had a gun powder burn to her lip, Mahan said. He is waiting to hear on the condition of the children.
The mother was not at home at the time of the incident, which happened at about 2:30 p.m. at 101 E. Lorado Avenue.
Police are seeking a warrant for the father for felon in possession of a firearm and child endangerment, Mahan said.

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
Since its separation from Tyco International last year, ADT (UNKNOWN: ADT.DL ) has given some value to its investors -- up slightly more than 10% in exactly one year. However, since riding up near $50 per share in the early months of 2013, the stock has given back the bulk of its gains, leaving investors wondering if something is wrong. In many ways, ADT is a phenomenal business -- it's a market leader (the largest security company in North America) with increasing recurring revenue (the best kind of revenue) and nearly unparalleled customer service. The problem, at first glance, appears be a matter of valuation, which allows for little flexibility in short- and near-term results. Is this the case?
Growing gains
After moving out of its parents' house in October 2012, ADT has proven that its business continues to grow and its growth platform allows for plenty of upside potential, in stock price and otherwise.
The key to ADT's future is Pulse, its version of home automation. Using its existing sales and distribution channels, ADT is finding success in its Pulse product, even with sharp competition from some big names such as Verizon and Time Warner, which have arguably better distribution channels and a more recognizable imprint in customers' homes. Home automation is still a young industry, and market penetration is well under the 25% that ADT security systems hold.
ADT is comfortably capitalized, and will be able to plow enough money into the Pulse business to continue its foray into the segment and, at the very least, maintain its market share or (more likely) grow it. Currently, more than 4% of ADT's customers are signed up for Pulse, leaving nearly everyone as a potential upsell. The promotional opportunities here speak for themselves.

ADT is a cash flow machine, and these cash flows come in on the back end. Up-front expenses for the company are high regarding customer acquisition, but with an average of seven years, each customer remains so the company's gains right now are far more beneficial three years down the line -- the breakeven point for profitability.
A near-21 times forward earnings multiple makes the company look expensive, especially considering that it is not a fast grower. However, this metric does not quite tell the story. Once again, ADT's cash and earnings come from accounts acquired a few years ago. In the meantime, costs are high and earning potential looks limited and, thus, richly valued.
All in all, ADT isn't a bargain based on today's fundamentals. The Pulse growth platform, though, is quite compelling and spells for even greater cash flows in the future, which will find their way into investors' pockets. Playing on the growth of home automation and business with sound economics, ADT looks appealing today.
