text: My skater child got new skates about 2 months ago. After being measured and fit by someone who knows what they are doing, she went up a full size in skates. She says the skates fit well in the toe and sides, but we go through three, four, five+ skate re-ties every practice session because she says the skates aren't tight enough on top (the area where you begin criss-crossing the laces through the hooks). The skate pro says that with this model Riedell, the padding can make them feel more cushy and roomy, and that yes, after skating a while the skates can heat up and loosen a bit. However, even when I tie the skates as tight as I can - and let me tell you, I put every ounce of pressure on the laces and even sometimes tie knots between each cross at the top - she's off the ice in ten minutes or less saying the skates still don't feel tight enough. Her coach has tied the skates, the skate pro has tied the skates, 200 lb. hockey players have tied the skates....everyone who should know what they are talking about says the skates seem tight enough even for the size of the jumps she's doing. I think it's all in her head. However, before I begin down the psychoanalysis route, I'm just wondering whether anyone else has truly had this problem of skates continually not staying tight enough - or feeling tight enough - at the top even though they fit through the bottom? And if so, were you able to solve the problem and how? We've had more tears over these darn skates, and I'm about to throw my hands up and say, "too bad, skate or don't skate." (Well, I have already said that, but I'm about to stick to it. ) But before I do so, I really want to make sure that there's not something I'm missing. I know it's hard to diagnose without seeing the skates/skater, but any btdt experience one way or another - either for yourself or as a parent of a skater - would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I read this on Mr. Bush's site (If you have clean wax (no chemicals in the hive) your queens usually last about three years. If you don't have clean wax, your queens usually only last a few months.)
Does this mean from pesticides from outside sources or from chemicals to treat hive pest ect.?
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but trying to learn all we can to do what is best for the bees.

text: This weekend I installed a Volant cold air intake. Immediately upon starting the truck I could tell it was there. The sound of sucking air was pretty cool and you could tell the engine could breathe. A quick test drive and I was glad I made the purchase. The truck comes alive when hitting the throttle. I have notice it doesn't take as much throttle to maintain the same speed as before on the interstate. Haven't had it long enough to tell about gas mielage but any gain is icying on the ake for me.

Nothing warms the body and soul like a hot bowl of chili or a hearty cup of soup midwinter. And our Facebook fans couldn't agree more. When we asked them which restaurant serves the best bowl, answers spanned the state.
According to them, you've gotta try:
Chili and French Onion Soup at Ole & Lena Kaffe Hus in Westby — Marie C.
This may be a coffee shop that serves up cappuccinos and pastries, but restaurant goers love the soup just as much. Friendly people, reasonable prices and a fun atmosphere keep them coming back.
Soup Bros. in Milwaukee — Lisa C.
Turkey Pot Pie, Bermuda Cheddar, Red Pepper Bisque. Owner Richard Regner has been serving unique and delicious soup by the bowlful for 13 years. The soup menu changes seasonally, but you'll get your choice of six vegetarian and meat soups every day.
Potato Soup at The Grumpy Troll in Mount Horeb — Jan P.
This micro-brewery was once a historic creamery. In addition to handcrafted beers, you'll find gourmet pizzas, fish fries, and yes, soups aplenty. Don't forget to grab a side of corn bread!
Chicken Dumpling Soup at Farmer's Home Restaurant in Antigo — Michelle B.
Farmer's Home is where the locals come to eat. In addition to homemade soup, courtesy of secret family recipes, customers rave about their old-fashioned drinks and fish fry.
6-Shooter Chili from Badger Brew Express in Rice Lake — Cody S.
Every chili has a secret ingredient or two. With "shooter" in the name, you may think this one has oysters. Not so. This chili gets its name from six shots of espresso!
Our fans sure have great taste. If you're still on the hunt for the best soups in Wisconsin, grab a cup of these other fan favorites:
Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup at Horse & Plow in Kohler — Christine B.
Ruben Soup at O'Riley and Conway's Irish Pub in Janesville — Jen B.
Cream of Broccoli Soup at Cream and Crepe Café in Cedarburg — Jennifer F.
Cheesy Potato Soup at Covered Wagon in Hawthorne — Deb H.

Right now we are on our way to a ghost-town in Voona not too far from our motel to catch it in the sunrise before we go back for breakfast.
And yay, I feel alittle better! I don't think my nose is that stuffy anymore. I pretty much, I think, "just" have a half-nasty cough at times. I'm also using Listerine which is an effective mouthwash that also kills germs but man its strong! I pretty much get wet eyes every time and it feels like acid when u spit.
07.15 am
We just had breakfast at the motel which had a nice breakfast buffe. The lady working there was really nice and made us omelets based on veggies and other accessories of our choice
08.09 am
Now we are on our way towards three ghost-towns and then maybe tomorrow we will reach Antilope canyon which seems to be something really extraordinary! :)
10.49 am
So we just was at this tiny town with a few deserted houses. At first it didn't seem too interesting but there was some sort of wooden tower we checked out. It seemed to have an open antiques store just by it an inside was an old man running a museeum there. We decided to check it out as it was just a dollar.
The museum consisted of 15th something rooms that were litterally PACKED with an endless amount of old and dirty bottles and glasses, signs, tools, horns, paintings, stuffed animals etc. etc. etc... lol! There were also a stuffed model of a two-headed calf, know tv.
The tower were several stories high and the last two stories you had to climb by ladder to get to othe top.
When we got back down the funny and excentric old man wanted to show us item after item and handed us item after item from a glass cabinett to have us guess what it was.
I don't think we got any item right but he told us
on every item and it was everything from tools to cut off bull's balls with and old rusty spoons to scope ice cream with to dinosaour poo and a toothpick made of a raccon's penis
7.24 pm
So we drove on for a couple of hours, I was feeling very drained and tired for that part of the drive and slept alot during it. Then we left the main road for a possible ghost town up the hill. After driveing quite a while on a forrest dirtroad, about 14 miles / 2,25 mil, we reached a treatment plant. Possibly for natural gas as we had seen alot of signs for natural gas on the way up. Well, just past the treatment plant we parked the car by the roadside because there was alot of deserted wooden cottages just nearby, the "ghost town" we looked for.
(The weather up there was quite chilly. Only 53 deg. F / 11,6 grad. C and we had about 103 deg. F / 39 grad. C when we left our motel in the morning.)
I got some really beutiful pictures with a wooden house in the foreground and a small creek surrounded by green bushes and the mountain in the background. :)
9.10 pm
We are currently haveing dinner in the small town of Southfork were we also found a motel for the night so we are soon going there to rest and sleep after a long day in the car.

Rebecca's Biography
Cause of Choice: First Peoples Worldwide
Childhood Dream: To become a veterinarian, or a professional hitchhiker.
First Paying Job: Working in a record store.
Grandfather's Advice: "Being able to live in a moment with total presence, surrounded with silence is beautiful."
Rebecca Adamson is an economist and advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples around the world. She is the founder of First Peoples Worldwide and the founder and former director of the First Nations Development Institute.
Adamson was born in Akron, Ohio, in 1949 to a Cherokee mother and a Swedish-American father. After dropping out of college in 1970, she began working with Indian tribes in the Northwestern United States. At age 22, she was hired by the Coalition of Indian Controlled School boards and became deeply involved in the Indian-controlled school movement, which at that time was agitating for Native Americans to have increased control over their children's education. She has been fighting for the rights of indigenous people ever since.
After recognizing the vital importance of economic self-sufficiency to self-determination, Adamson founded the First Nations Development Institute in 1980, where she spearheaded the creation of the first microloan fund in the U.S. In 1997, she took her advocacy global with the founding of First People Worldwide. Since then she has led initiatives everywhere from Botswana to Australia promoting values-based investment, environmental stewardship, and self-determination for native peoples everywhere.
Adamson is active in many non-profit organizations and is currently serving on the Board of Directors for The Bay and Paul Foundations, the Calvert Social Investment Fund (the largest socially responsible mutual fund), the Calvert Group Governance Committee, and Co-chairs the Calvert Social Investment Fund Audit Committee. She served as an advisor to the United Nations on Rural Development and as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations' International Labor Organization for International Indigenous Rights. She worked with the World Bank to create the Indigenous Peoples Climate Action Fund in 2009, to address Indigenous Peoples' climate change issues. Adamson's decades-long work has established a new field of culturally appropriate, values-driven development.

Neurological disorders and injuries that affect the brain, including developmental problems and injury from an accident or birth trauma, can influence the way a child thinks, learns, and behaves, and how a child expresses emotions.
Our team offers advanced diagnostic evaluation for children and teenagers referred by parents, teachers, or doctors who have concerns about a patient's cognitive abilities and attention, response in social interactions, and ability to control emotions or behaviors.
To identify complications potentially related to a neurological disorder or injury, we perform a comprehensive evaluation that includes an assessment of the child's functioning in a number of areas, such as:
We use an evaluation to understand each patient's individual concerns. We use the results to identify strategies and effective interventions that enable children and teenagers to realize their full potential.
An evaluation can help families, schools, and treating professionals in several ways:
If your child needs to see another specialist for services such as psychological therapy, medication, tutoring, speech/language therapy, occupational therapy, and medical care, our team coordinates referrals to other professionals at Children's National or in the community.
We can usually complete testing in one day, but make adjustments as needed depending on the child's age and functioning.
One of our neuropsychologists spends time with you and your child to learn more about your child's history, observe and interview your child, and conduct related testing. Testing involves hands-on and paper and pencil activities, and an interview. We also ask parents, teachers, and older children to fill out questionnaires about the patient's behavior.
To prepare for the evaluation:
After your child's evaluation, we schedule a follow-up appointment for you to meet with the neuropsychologist and discuss your child's strengths and areas of concern, and recommendations for next steps in care.
You then receive a written report in the mail detailing the results of the evaluation and the recommendation.
For more information and to arrange an appointment:
Children's National provides a healthcare experience designed with kids in mind, and delivers confidence and assurance when parents need it most. We provide a wide range of clinical services and specialties dedicated to improving children's health.
Have a question about a specific disease or condition or treatments or services we offer?
Children's National sees children from around the Washington, DC, metropolitan region, nation, and world who need the kind of specialized expertise and child-focused care we offer. No matter what your child needs, we can provide care that's just right.

just what I wanted, not a 'dark' black, it's a great colour
My future daughter-in-law fell in love with this cardstock the 1st time I showed it to her. We both agree that it is going to add the elegant touch she wants for the wedding invitations/announcements. And the style she wants is going to make my job of making them super easy. The name says it all "Black Tie"
I love this bling card stock. It's slightly heavier than regular Bazzill cardstock. This colour in particular is not a jet black, it is more of a very deep gun metal colour which has worked fine for my cards. It's a favourite.
I cannot have enough black paper. This paper will be used for scrapbook pages and cards.

Day 14: Jury asked for majority verdict in Albion players' sex assault trial
- Four footballers accused of sex assault and voyeurism are awaiting the decision of a jury at the Old Bailey this morning.
- Anton Rodgers, 20, George Barker, 21, and Lewis Dunk, 21, from Brighton, and Steve Cook, 21, from St Leonards, deny the charges.
- Last Friday the judge summed up the evidence from both sides before sending the jury out to consider their verdict.
- Last Thursday defence barristers gave their closing statements with each of them saying the woman's evidence was unreliable.
- Judge Charles Wide gave instructions to the jury, telling them to make a 'cool, dispassionate analysis of the evidence'.
- Last Wednesday, Lewis Dunk said he was in the room but did not see or hear anything because he was on the phone to a cheerleader.
- Anton Rodgers said in his defence that he had exposed himself and taken pictures but it was just "boy banter".
- Last Monday, George Barker, said he had exposed himself, posed for a picture and seen four photos on Anton Rodgers' phone.
- On Friday, January 25 Albion player Ben Sampayo told the Old Bailey how he had seen his colleagues 'giggling' while looking at pictures of the incident
- On Thursday, January 24 the victim broke down in the witness box, shouting that the players had "taunted" her.
- On Wednesday, January 23 the victim was accused of being a "prolific liar" who had sought relationships with footballers.
- Last Tuesday, January 22 the court was told the four footballers were a group of "arrogant young men" who took advantage of the unconscious young woman after the first game at the Amex stadium.
- The trial began with the jury being sworn in on Monday, January 21.
- The trial continues.

katesnanna..... just wondering.... is there a chance this is a copyright pattern? I am looking for ideas for our guild block of the month Lotto blocks for next year... This would be perfect! but I can't use it if it might be a printed pattern w/o getting permissions.....
If not a copyright pattern, would you mind if i used it and gave you credit for posting instructions on the internet?
Thanks.... this is such a great pattern... and it looks like no two seams butt up against each other when sewn into rows..... (really great when more than one person is making blocks).
More often than not... the person who wins our lotto blocks turns them into one of our 2000+ comfort quilts we give to our community each year. The scrappier the better!

I have several frames to extract and don't want to spend $ to rent an extractor for such a small amount.
This is my very-first harvest , so we are excited about getting some honey, even if it's a little.
Frames have both capped and uncapped cells.
I have a knife, uncapping fork, and some fine mesh filters.
I've heard of two separate methods: 1) cut off and crush - to allow honey to drip down through filter, OR 2) mildly heat pot inside another pot of water to melt wax away from honey, then separate by filtering.
Any ideas - greatly appreciated.

Make a handy outfeed support that adjusts to fit your table saw, band saw, planer or router. All you need is some scrap wood and a handful of inexpensive casters.
Swiveling casters will roll in any direction, so you can use the support on either side of the table saw or other tool.
Once you've established the correct outfeed height for a shop tool, screw a cleat to the support and you'll never need to adjust it again.
Need a hand to support jumbo workpieces at the table saw, drill press, band saw, router table or planer? You'll work a lot safer and easier and achieve better results if you grab some scrap wood and construct this stand. You'll need:
Lay out mounting lines every 1-3/4 in. along the 1x4. Attach the casters with the pan head screws, staggering the casters on alternate edges of the 1x4 so they won't collide when they swivel. Center and screw the 1x2s on one end of the plywood to make a T-shaped base, and screw the caster board to both 1x2s.
Clamp the whole assembly to a sawhorse and hold it alongside the tool's table. Adjust the height so the tops of the casters are flush with the table. Screw on a separate height adjustment cleat for any other tools you have that could use more support for long boards. Then you won't have to waste time on setup every time you move to a new tool.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

the -r2c-'s programming style and precision.

This answer will no doubt reassure many actual or potential users of
your program. I am not clear that it rules out all possibility either
of misunderstanding or of clashes of role. I would certainly advise
documenting what you do under this heading so that users or readers of
the program don't jump to the same conclusion.
In general, the answer is just to pass the names of temporary
variables from one program to another. Using globals doesn't usually
bite, largely because other programmers don't use them, largely
because they know they can bite.
A small refinement in your program would be to use -summarize,
meanonly- whenever all you want is r(sum). The option -meanonly- is
poorly named, because it yields more than the mean, including the sum.
Also, there is a small potential loss of precision in passing (e.g.)
`r(sum)' rather than r(sum) or in using locals rather than scalars,
unless you know that the numbers involved can be captured accurately
in macros.

CEH self study - eligibility code
I will be taking the CEH exam EC0-350 in a week's time . I have received the eligibility code as well. I must admit that I am not so confident of passing the exam, so might postpone it to another week.
But, I wanted to know if I failed the exam can I use the same eligibility code used in the 1st attempt, to register for the exam second time again? Please clarify? I am not able to obtain any information from EC-council on this.

Beginning this fall, Pulaski Tech will offer young adults with developmental and learning disabilities post-secondary education and pre-employment skills in the areas of culinary and hospitality.
The program - called Pulaski Tech 3D - is two-year program, during which students can earn certificates in culinary and hospitality functions. They begin with a core curriculum that teaches the foundations of hospitality and employability - hospitality skills, professional conduct and sanitation. Students can then choose to work on specific certificates. Some examples of certificates are Certified Prep Cook, Certified Banquet Server, and Certified Housekeeping Assistant.
Classes begin on Aug. 16 and will take place Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., at the Arkansas Culinary and Hospitality Management Institute at the college's Little Rock-South site.
The Pulaski Tech 3D program name means new dimensions for people with developmental disabilities.
"Just as a 3D film adds a whole new dimension to the film experience, the 3D program is a whole new way to approach learning differences. It is fresh, limitless." said Pulaski Technical College instructor Linda Ducrot, who is directing the program.
In addition to classroom experience and hands-on skills, students will get help with planning, coaching and mentoring. Staff will help students improve their critical thinking skills, independent functioning and professionalism needed for the workplace

Rihanna and Chris Brown broke up after her high-profile assault at his hands, but now there are reports that the couple is back together again. This news certainly shocked the world, but Hollywood is full of romances that take EVERYONE off guard. Check out our gallery of the most outrageous and tell us, HollywoodLifers — which was the most shocking romance?

text: One day I officially announced to my wife that I was gonna start a Fett build. She asked me why I always had to pick the most complex costumes to do. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment. Got my bucket in recently from Buck Rogers on the 501st sale thread. I read in the 501st requirements that there has to be a translucent lower piece in the rangefinder topper. The rangefinder topper I got was just 1 solid piece. Is there a way to paint the lower piece to give it a translucent look? Worst case I'll just get another bucket from someone here and use my current one for painting practice. I have a flightsuit, vest, spats, and collar on order from Arkady. The Jetpack and boots are also on order from MoW. I went ahead and started a few parts from pepakura but the parts I already finished may be replaced by the parts I got from the Cargo Hold not too long ago. The shin tools I got from a Jango friend of mine. They need some cleaning up but it's 1 less thing to worry about. I know it's one of the more difficult builds because of the details but I'm hoping my OCD will help me with the accuracy. I feel like I need to sell a kidney to get funds for more parts that are needed.

Childhood disintegrative disorder is also known as Heller's syndrome. It's a very rare condition in which children develop normally until at least two years of age, but then demonstrate a severe loss of social, communication and other skills.
Childhood disintegrative disorder is part of a larger category called autism spectrum disorder. However, unlike autism, someone with childhood disintegrative disorder shows severe regression after several years of normal development and a more dramatic loss of skills than a child with autism does. In addition, childhood disintegrative disorder can develop later than autism does.
Treatment for childhood disintegrative disorder involves a combination of medications, behavior therapy and other approaches.
Children with childhood disintegrative disorder typically show a dramatic loss of previously acquired skills in two or more of the following areas:
Loss of developmental milestones may occur abruptly over the course of days to weeks or gradually over an extended period of time.
When to see a doctor
Children typically develop at their own pace, but any loss of developmental milestones is cause for concern. If your child has suddenly lost previously acquired language, social, motor, play, thinking (cognitive) or self-help skills, such as toilet training and feeding, contact your doctor. In addition, if you suspect that your child has gradually shown a loss in any area of development, talk with your doctor.
A pediatrician usually performs developmental screenings at regular well-child visits. If you think your child may have a developmental disorder, talk with the pediatrician. If your child's doctor suspects a developmental disorder, you'll probably be referred to a team of childhood development specialists for more detailed testing.
To get the most from your visit to the doctor, prepare in advance:
For childhood disintegrative disorder, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions anytime during your appointment.
Be prepared to answer questions from your doctor. Your doctor might ask questions such as:
For a child to be diagnosed with childhood disintegrative disorder, he or she must meet the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association, summarized below. This manual is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Normal development includes age-appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication, social relationships, and motor, play and self-care skills.
Loss of previous skills, after at least two years of normal development, in at least two of the following areas:
Lack or loss of normal function occurs in at least two of the following areas:
Your child's doctor should perform developmental screenings at well-child visits or if you suspect that there's a delay in your child's development or a loss of age-appropriate skills.
If your doctor sees signs or symptoms of a developmental disorder or delay, your child may be referred to one or more specialists for evaluation and diagnosis. These may include a child psychologist, a child psychiatrist, a doctor who specializes in conditions of the brain and nervous system (neurologist), a pediatrician specializing in behavioral and developmental problems, a hearing specialist (audiologist), a speech therapist, a physical therapist, and an occupational therapist.
These professionals may perform some or all of the following tests:
Your doctor may also want your child to have several developmental tests to measure how your child performs skills compared with other children of the same age. These tests measure the following skills:
Test results allow your health care team to look for underlying medical or neurological conditions that may be causing your child's signs and symptoms, rule out other conditions or diseases, and make an accurate diagnosis. Then the team can develop the best treatment plan for your child.
There's no cure for childhood disintegrative disorder. Treatment for the disorder is basically the same as for autism. Treatments to relieve or lessen symptoms may include:
Although abilities and behaviors vary greatly for children with childhood disintegrative disorder, the outcome is worse than for children with autism. The loss of language, cognitive, social and self-care skills tends to be severe and unlikely to improve. Children with the disorder generally need lifelong support with the activities of daily living, and may eventually need residential care in a group home or long-term care facility.
Some parents choose to supplement traditional medical treatments and behavior therapy with alternative therapies. The safety and effectiveness of alternative therapies for autism spectrum disorders have not been proved.
Always talk with your doctor before trying a new therapy. Your doctor can help you understand the risks and benefits, and alert you to any possible side effects or interactions with existing medications.
Child disintegrative disorder is a rare, serious condition. As a parent or family member affected by this disorder, you'll need support to cope with the condition. Here are some suggestions:

I'm working with panel data and I'm also new in that. I would like to know how to check for multicollinearity among variables. > > I know the corr comand, but this is not for panel data (unless you work in wide format, but in that case I'm not sure if the results are very good). Then I can use xtcorr, but this should be used after xtgee and I think that the spirit then is to check correlations among residuals, not correlations among variables. > > Can someone help me and give me a hint on how to check correlations among variables before start working? > > Thanks for your help! > Sincerely, > Tomas _________________________________________________________ http://www.latinmail.com.

The player in RLH is exiled military hero Nick Conner who is living
out the rest of his military career on a mining space station called
the Forsetti. He has a few friends on the space station but it's made
bearable due to the fact that his fiancé is on board. He comes back
from an ordinary science trip to find the station has been overrun with
an alien species. So his goals are to find and rescue as many friendlies
as possible (including his love) and get the hell off the station. It's
not going to be easy though because the aliens are bio-organic masters.
They are not only taking over the ship, but are slowly turning it into
a living organism. RLH is an action adventure game in a true 3D environment.
Players will have to construct new weapons, set traps and sometimes
even use themselves as bait to survive.
Release Date: Summer 2001
