Lewis, 49, of Medford, registered to vote in the Eighth District on April 11, the same day he filed nominating petitions to become a state Senate candidate in the June 7 primary.

| Maggie Thompson (grandmother) †
Rose Thompson (grandmother) †
Susan Thompson (mother)
|Portrayed by:
|Matreya Fedor
Tyler Thompson was the daughter of Susan Thompson. Maggie Thompson was her imaginary friend.
She was mostly seen playing with Maggie, and, when the second man died, she noticed that a doll's head turned all the way around like the man who had died. When Sam and Dean come, they saw her playing with Maggie. Tyler did not know Maggie was actually a ghost, and at the moment, she was the only one (besides her grandmother) who could see Maggie. Then Maggie tried to kill Tyler so they could be together forever. Tyler was not sure, but was pushed into the pool. It's thanks to Sam, that she was saved. After that episode, Tyler told them she could not see Maggie anymore.
Tyler was briefly seen in "What Is And What Should Never Be" when Dean researched his old cases and found her obituary online (while Dean was held captive by the Djinn).

Brewers owner Mark Attanasio talks dollars and sense
One thing we learned during the Milwaukee Brewers season opener was that other teams apparently don't always like what Mark Attanasio has to say about payroll disparity in Major League Baseball.
Attanasio, in his ninth year as the Brewers' principal owner, was asked on WTMJ Radio about some salaries for star players and how the Brewers can remain competitive in such a market.
Host Jeff Wagner mentioned the Tigers, with Prince Fielder, Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander making $64 million combined this season, and Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees, who is to make more this season ($29 million) than the entire Astros' payroll ($26.5 million).
"Ah, well," Attanasio said with a laugh. "By the way, I have to be careful how I respond to this because it seems whenever I talk about somebody else's payroll I piss somebody off. So the big-market teams' guys, you know, start staring at me."
"We do it in a bunch of ways," Attanasio said. "We draft and develop our own players. A lot of the guys we have on the team now - Ryan Braun, Corey Hart, Rickie Weeks, Yovani Gallardo, Jon Lucroy - all guys we developed and then signed and kept on the team. Carlos Gomez we got in a trade and we signed him. We have done a really good job of developing our own guys and keeping them under the tent here in Milwaukee.
"Then we selectively sign free agents," Attanasio said. "Like we did with Kyle Lohse and Aramis Ramirez. Aramis was huge for us last year, and we count on both those guys this year."
The Brewers' payroll this season is expected to be in the $84 million neighborhood, which ranks 18th among MLB clubs.
Attanasio talked about his role in the acquisition of Lohse, who signed with Milwaukee for three years at $33 million.
"One of the things about the game is that you get numb to the money at some point," Attanasio said. "So it was more about do we give up the first-round draft choice. By the way, if it was the No. 1 draft choice or it was a top 10 draft choice, I don't think we would have done it. But this is considered to be a weaker draft. It's a middle-of-the-round draft pick. . . . It was hard to give up that pick. Doug (Melvin) and I probably spent 10 days back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Then we just decided to fall on the side of improving the team for this year."
Career change?
Bob Uecker, 78, has been broadcasting Brewers games on radio since 1971. He is in his 42nd season as the voice of the Brewers.
When he was interviewed Monday with Attanasio, Uecker was asked if he still was having fun and enjoying calling games.
"Absolutely," Uecker said. "I'm thinking next year - and this is as good enough place to do it as any - I'm going to try and become an active player in Japan. This is going to be it for me in broadcasting. I'm going to go over there. . . . I'll be honest with you. I am going to lie in the dirt for two hours. I'll be second base in Japan, in Tokyo."
Air up there
Bill Schroeder is in his 19th season as the analyst on Brewers telecasts.
He said the only aspect of his job that can be trying at times is the travel.
"The Brewers have been very good to me and as well as Fox," Schroeder, 54, told WTMJ Radio. "I look back at some of my early days and I can't believe they actually brought me back after my first couple of seasons. I have worked with a number of very good partners starting with Jim Paschke, then Matt Vasgersian, Daron Sutton now Brian Anderson. I'm very fortunate to have the partners I have had. The one thing that can get to you is not so much being at the ballpark, but the travel. Getting in late.
"In all honesty, I don't know how Ueck does it," Schroeder said. "He's getting up there. He still loves it. He's happy-go-lucky on these trips. They can extend, sometimes, nine, 10 days. You would never know looking at him. Travel, as the season goes on, can get to you from time to time. But I really don't think there is a tough part of my job."
Easy as pie
After the Brewers beat the Rockies, Fox Sports Wisconsin game reporter Sophia Minnaert was interviewing Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the winning run and give Milwaukee its first opening day victory since 2008.
In the middle of the live interview, teammate Carlos Gomez came up behind Lucroy in the Brewers' dugout, covered Lucroy's face with a shaving cream and scuttled away.
"Congrats on getting the first pie of the season," Minnaert said to Lucroy, who did not seem entirely pleased by the prank.
"That's the first pie of the season and probably going to be my last, because I'm going to go punch somebody," Lucroy said, trying to towel off the mess. "Ah, dang it."
Lucroy was all smiles though a few moments later when Attanasio came into the dugout, shook his hand and offered congratulations.

Germany's Company Tax Reform Act of 2008
The article outlines Germany's recent company tax reform. The act will become effective from January 1st, 2008, except for some minor points and for companies with an alternative fiscal year. The description comprises the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, repeal of declining-balance depreciation, changes in the trade tax, and tighter rules regarding transfer prices and loss deduction. Close attention is paid to new instruments such as the interest limitation, preferential treatment of retentions, and the final withholding tax. The paper provides political background, evaluates the changes economically, andputs them in legal and international perspectives.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

|Vitamin A (from Fish Liver Oil)
Vit A increases transferrin - higher doses can be detrimental to anyone low in iron, asthmatics, etc. I do not recommend vit A in this dose because it is too effective - used regularly, it causes me to get breathless (in a very unpleasant way) and I end up having to supplement other things to compensate (when they're normally not necessary). Suggest limited/occasional use only. I want a natural vit A, however it seems impossible to find one in lower doses, especially one that isn't cod. If this review was helpful to you, please click YES below - thank you. For reviews of all the products I have purchased from iHerb, please click my username above.
Vitamin D & Vit A as Retinol: More recent research has discovered that the ratios of these two vitamins may be of paramount importance in order to extract optimal health benefits, and unfortunately, modern cod liver oil does not supply these vitamins in healthy ratios to each other. People who took vitamin A supplements in cod liver oil, or in supplements, had an 18 percent increase in death rates. Cod liver oil that is clearly excessive in vitamin A as it only has 3 to 60 units of vitamin D per tablespoon but between 150 and 12,000 times as much vitamin A. Both vitamins are essential to obtain optimal health benefits, however, the ratios can become dangerously unbalanced -- much like the omega-3/omega-6 balance, which has become inversed in our modern diet. Cod liver oil is a highly processed food that was never consumed by humans prior to recent times. Dr. John Cannell, of the Vitamin D Council, recommends not taking vitamin A as retinol, (as in cod liver oil), because the vitamin A blocks the positive actions of vitamin D. Dr. Cannell raised questions about the efficacy of cod liver oil due to its highly variable and frequently excessive amount of vitamin A. Typically modern cod liver oil contains far less vitamin D than it used to, due to the deodorization process used today which removes much of this essential nutrient. Dr. Cannell and other prominent researchers believe the vitamin A contained in most cod liver oil is excessive, and can reduce the effectiveness of vitamin D by inhibiting the binding of its active form to your DNA, effectively preventing its ability to regulate the expression of your vitamin D-responsive genes.

Since I have had only infants since I was licensed two years ago and had no one for a year of that time, this spring we will be starting to ready our side yard for a play area. Any suggestions where what and how to start? lol I need some ideas to give to my husband :) The first thing we are doing is fencing that area in, for two reasons, we've wanted to do it for 10 years and we have weird neighbors that my husband despises :( So...if anyone has suggestions it would be appreciated and also...what is the "stuff" that is required under swingsets etc?? thanks in advance :)

I don't have to have anything under my swingset here. A lot of places require wood mulch/chips to be placed and it needs to be a certain level. I would ask your licensing rep that question.
I have tons of outside ride on toys, sidewalk chalk, lots of bubbles, a sandbox and a wading pool for summer. This will be our first summer with daycare kids, so I'm not 100% sure what we will use the most of.
I don't have to have impact material under the swingset since I'm a daycare home. Other than our swing set, we have a few ride-on toys, a small wagon that one kid can ride in and one kid pull, a little cottage/climber with a slide, and a little sandbox with digging toys. I also have splash balls, a sprinkler and a water table for summer.
If I had it to do over, I wouldn't have built my playset...I'd have done something like this instead:
I loved the playset at first, and the kids play on it all the time..but it was like $800 and now I have to put down mulch & timbers (more $$) and it's just so dangerous. The littlest kids always want to play on it and it's 4-5' off the ground...totally not age appropriate for the 1-4 yr olds I care for (age appropriate is 1' off the ground per year of age...so 4' for the 4yr olds & the 5' area shouldn't be used by any of my dcks)
I DO think I will be making a water wall of some sort this summer...something like this:
or this:
and I will be building a sandbox...like this:
Fencing... LOCKED gate from inside out..
Shop garage sales this Spring.. & check resale shops for ride on toys.. basketball hoop & a few fun toys... kids can have a great time & you don't need much to start!!!

We built a swingset/play yard and put sand under it. I love it for my home daycare and the sand is not as messy as I thought it would be. I have heard from other providers that pea rock is very messy.
Ride on toys, a basketball hoop and scooters are favorites. We have a small little tykes teeter totter that is popular too. I agree that shopping garage sales is a great idea. We have a large patio off of our garage that is great for riding toys, sidewalk chalk and balls. I would love to add a little playhouse.
Good luck and have fun!
If I could do one change (hubby would NEVER agree to this though) it would be to have a cement track pored around the whole outside of the yard, wide enough for 2 bikes. Then the kids could ride in circles around my fenced in yard and the only play would happen in the back yard. I could have my garage back as all the bikes would be stored in a storage thing back there too.

That is so funny! My hubby WANTS to pur a cement track around the perimeter of our whole yard! Now it's just paying for it.
Last spring we put in a wooden swing set and climber. I agonized over what surfacing to put underneath. Wood chips, pea gravel, sand...oh my! Well I finally decided on pea gravel and I LOVE IT! It has been great. I have not had any problems with it at all. Zero mess in my opinion. But I only take 2 1/2 yrs-5 yrs so infants/toddlers could be different.The last pic on this link shows the playset with pea gravel.
We want to add a little playhouse like this one.
I also want to add some natural elements like xbox widow mentioned. This site has some cozy outdoor pics that gave me some inspiration
Lots of fun ideas!
I was about to ask this same question... I am making a large sand box, I just don't have toys for it yet...

Hey, I'm Karen!
We are from Fruita, Colorado USA. We are pastors of a Hebrew Roots Congregation. We love to visit other countries and explore other cultures. We speak some Spanish, but are not completely fluent. We grew up in Southern California, and moved to Colorado in the late 80's. We have 4 grown children, and 11 grandchildren who all live very close to us. We are both in our 60s and we love to travel. We have been wanting to explore Costa Rica for awhile now.
We were thinking of reserving the Mariposa Casita but have decided we would rather book the Tucano Casita instead if it is available. We are renting a 4x4 vehicle to get there and are spending a couple of nights in Heredia before we come to your location. We look forward to meeting you.

Now that we've added some text and images to our page. Let's talk about we go about setting the alignment for the elements. I'm still working with the draft.html file that I've been working with for the past couple of movies, and I'm going to start by clicking my cursor into this paragraph here. First paragraph in the main text here, because before you can align anything you have to first select the item you want to align, and clicking inside a paragraph is the equivalent of selecting the entire paragraph when it comes to setting alignment. Notice that I have these alignment buttons down here in the properties and inspector, and they looked like just like the alignment button that you find in the standard word processor.
Clicking each one will change the alignment of the paragraph. So, we have Align Left, which is the default alignment, whether you have an alignment button selected or not so you can see everything is aligned to the left there. We have Center, and I should just mention that you can click the alignment buttons on and off like so, we have center, we have Right, everything is aligned to the right now, and we have Justify, so now the text all lines up nicely to both edges of the box in which it's contained. So, it's just that easy to set the alignment. Now, keep in mind when you are aligning text you are always aligning the entire paragraph. You can't have just the first lines be Left align, and the next ones be Right aligned for example.
You can only have different alignments, if you have different paragraphs. If I wanted a second paragraph to have a different alignment, I'm free to do that just by clicking within it, and I can have that be Centered if I want to, or Right aligned, and is completely independent of the proceeding paragraph. Of course, if wanted all the paragraphs in this box to have the same alignment, which I most likely do I could select both paragraphs, and set their alignment simultaneously. If you are especially lazy, I mean efficient, you'll be happy to know that you don't have to select all the paragraphs in their entirety.
Just as long as your selection includes at least part of the paragraphs that you want to align, the alignment buttons will work. So, just for with the couple lines from both paragraphs selected there I can Left align, or Center, or Right, or Justify them both. Now, in the previous movie I talked about the difference between paragraph breaks, which is what you get when you press the Enter key while typing like we have here, and line breaks, which is what you get when you press Shift + Enter, which is like what we have here. I mention that {italic}Dreamweaver {plain}still considers text with line breaks to be a single paragraph, that means text down here where I have the navigation and in sight credit separated by line breaks, is considered a single paragraph and therefore can only have one alignment.
Whether I have my cursor on the top line of the bottom line, whether I Left, Center, or Right align them, notice that the alignment changes for both of those lines. Generally, you'll want text with line breaks to share a single alignment anyway, and when we're talking about aligning text or images, the kind of unspoken question is, what are you aligning to? The answer is, that you are aligning your text or images to whatever is containing them. If you open a new blank page and type some text, that text is going to be aligned to the left and right borders of the page itself, because it is not contained in anything else.
But, on this example page we are using everything is contained within boxes, so the text and images aligned to the boxes edges. For example, the four images that we put up here are contained within this colored box here. If I click next to them and put my cursor there, I can set their alignments within this box by clicking Left, Center, Right, or even Justify it again, and we'll just Center those. So, that's aligning text and images. Now, bear in mind that this is only one basic method of sending alignments, we'll be learning other methods a little later, including how to set vertical alignments, because you might have noticed that we've only been playing with Left, Center, Right and Justified, but not say, top, middle and bottom alignments, but don't worry will definitely get to that.
Lastly, I want to point out that while you play around and experiment with alignments, {italic}Dreamweaver {plain}is quickly and invisibly writing and re-writing the necessary code to display your text or images in the alignment that you want. Let's switch over to Code view and take a look at this. Notice it does so by adding the align attribute to the paragraph tags here, or in the case of the text with the line breaks down here we have a div tag that has the align="center" attribute applied to it. Every time you make alignment change {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} re-writes that code. It's nice to know that you can play around as much as you like while {italic}Dreamweaver {plain}seamlessly handles all the behind the scenes stuff for you. Let's save this page and move on the next movie.
