Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Weezie, you can always send it to me.
Stephanie in Mena
Jillnjo, I'm just getting caught up on posts. Wow! What a beautiful quilt you have. I'm not a fan of yellow but I love the way you've used it. It ties all your other colors together and adds a spark. I really need to rethink using yellow in my quilts. You have a nice balance of colors in all your blocks and your blocks are done so well. Great job and congrats on finishing. This was a tough one!
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
Truely an amazing quilt!!! I love the sashing around the individual blocks, I think it adds to the look!
Everyone's quilts are just gorgeous! I am in awe. I completed my first block last night and am using 1930's reproduction fabrics. However, my block is a small 6 1/4" X 6 1/4" so I'm going to rip or either start a new one and aim for 6 1/2" X 6 1/2".
The quilts are beautiful
I am using Doreen Speckman's French Provincial line from many years ago.
txstitcher and gollytwo--show your progress on the FWS block threads. I'm slowly working on mine using Civil War Fabrics. It would be fun to see your blocks.
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.
I love all the beautiful quilts here..... It is very inspiring and I think that it would be something I would love to try myself. Thank you all for the beautiful work you have done.
Gee it disappeared before I could post a photo of my FWSQ that is 102x108, more than 145 blocks that depicts my childhood memories on the farm to current times, like no contrary wife at first, but there was a contrary husband square that reads 'wild thyme'. Creekside Quilts in Des Moines, Iowa, Jeanie did the quilting work that exceeded my expectations. Loved the support of the QB FWSQ group every week for two years, joined them again on PC trail which is almost done. Backside of quilt:

Freelance Pentester
I am new to this forum and glad to see many helpful advice on a hacker career.
My situation is that I have been working in the field of web application development for many years and now as a senior manager. In the area of web security, my knowledge is mostly about how to avoid xss, sql injection, some rule settings in network devices, working with external pentesters, Windows hardening...etc. That's basic understanding from developer point of view.
To gradually change my path to security, I wonder if its practical step one could be getting certified and try working as a freelance pentester. I am happy with low paid part-time jobs. Just want to know if this is a typical starting point.
Thanks in advance for any advice

A Soft Q3 Shouldn't Scare Google Investors: Canaccord
Google's (GOOG) third quarter earnings are due out on Oct. 17, and while there might be some anticipated weakness in the quarter, Canaccord Genuity's Michael Graham and Maria Ripps think investors should use any post-report dip to scoop up the stock.
The analysts reiterated their Buy rating and $940 price target in a note out today, writing that the search engine giant's risk-reward profile over the next couple years is "modestly positive...with a few potential tailwinds in 2014-15 including recovery from a two-year disruption of core search."
That said, they note that the company's rollout of Enhanced Campaigns could negatively impact the company's third quarter, a scenario that many investors are already expecting. "We believe any update on when Google Network growth might recover (i.e., when the impact of search policy changes may run its course) will be important. We are also focused on traffic acquisition cost (TAC) rates, as they have been moving steadily higher and represent one of the most significant downside risks to our three-year EPS outlook."
Still, they point to overall positive trends for Google, which saw traffic grow 3.1% and 4.4% year-over-year in July and August, respectively, according to comScore data, and has continued to gain market share.
They see four key variables effecting earnings in the coming years:
The growth rates of Web Sites and Network revenue, and their growth relative to each other. We believe the best case for Web Sites would be no deceleration over the next two years, while Network is more likely to accelerate after this year's search policyinduced slowdown. We note that Google Network growing so slowly this year has created a TAC tailwind for Google, as the TAC rate paid on Network revenue is ~10x that of Web sites.
TAC rates for Web Sites and Network – We are modeling slight increases in the Web sites TAC rate in our base case, but we think it is pretty likely that it goes up even from our base case forecast. We believe the upside/downside outlook for Network TAC outlook is more balanced.
Google gross margin – The combined effects of revenue mix and TAC rates creates a more negative risk/reward outlook for overall gross margin. We note little upside to our base case forecast, but in a pessimistic scenario, we could see as much as 130 bps of downside to our gross margin forecast.

Leaving Your Baby with Dad!Posted by Rochelle on Tuesday Mar 24, 2015 Under Child Care, Parenting
When you want to go to work or travel to some destination and there is no other person you can leave your kid with except your husband, you need to have the best tips on how to prepare the diaper bag. This will not only help them manage taking care of the child but also find it to be an interesting thing that they will wish it happened again. The things that you will be expected to have in the diaper bag will depend on some other factors. Among them is the time you will be away.
Essential things that you need to have in the diaper bag
To begin with, diaper bags are very essential for dads as these bags can hold every necessary item of your baby and he need not fiddle around and looking for the things. The best diaper bags have designated compartments for baby items. Get a bag for dads and start putting below listed items in it.
The diapers are a very crucial for you to forget packing them in the bag. The longer you will be out the more you need t have in the bag. You can have one for every hour and some extra two just in case you stay longer than you thought it would take you to be back from the place. The other thing you should include is the wiping materials. Ten wipes will not be a bad number as long as you are not going out for longer hours. The wipes are not only meant for the changing the diapers but also for the hands that might be sticky.
The hand sanitizer will make the father find it easier and comfortable taking care of the young one. This will be useful in the cleaning of the hands after he has made the changes in the diapers after every hour as mentioned before.
The changing pad is similarly necessary to spare your spouse from having the worst day in their life since taking care of children might not be something they are familiar. A good number of diapers feature one that you can reuse but a decision to have one that is separate will make things even better. Alternatively, you can replace the changing pad with the normal hand towel. With time the clothes that your kid will be putting on will get dirty and therefore it will be wise of your to have some extra clothing accompany the other things in the bag.
You child will of course need something to keep them satisfied when you are busy somewhere. The bottle (s) of formula should top you list of things to live your spouse with as you getting going. With the above information definitely you are in the best position to answer the big question, how to prepare the diaper bag when leaving the baby with dad.

Attacks on the Press 2009: Yemen
• Government censors newspapers, establishes new press court.
• Two journalists jailed without charge; one missing after being abducted.
8: Newspapers banned for periods beginning in May due to their coverage of unrest in the south.
Continuing a steady years-long decline, Yemen became one of the most repressive countries in the region for the press. Journalists covering clashes in the country's restive south faced severe restrictions. Government repression reached its peak in May, when at least eight newspapers that had covered violent protests were barred from distribution, several papers faced criminal charges, and one paper came under direct attack from state security agents. Government officials established a special court for perceived news media offenses.

Bar-Sto says on a .40 to 9mm conversion for P226/9:That's the official line they have in their FAQ's section. Anyone ever actually done it without a slide conversion kit?For Sig firearms the 229,226. You only need to change the barrel and use 9mm magazines. On the 239 you only change the barrel and can use the 40 but not the 357 sig mags. On all these you can get factory 9mm mags for those.
No spring changes needed. The breech face is fine and the extractor on these type of firearms springs over far enough to catch the case head and extract reliably.

Reviews of this property
We had a very pleasant stay at this appartment. It is really perfect, brand new and very complete (with washingmachine, dishwasher, satelite TV). It was really pleasant to sit on the balcony. The bed and the shower are exellent, Also the location is good with the tramway nr 2 to take you down town. We were by car and could park in a garage around the corner and in the weekend free in front of the door or in the street around the corner. Vienna is a wonderfull city, and we would recommend the city as wel as the appartment very much.
Well located and quiet apartment, big enough to spend a few days for two incl. Dog in angenehmenr atmosphere. Shops around the corner, metro station just around the corner. The kitchen contains everything needed for the preparation of a three-course menus, the pans should on occasion, however, to be replaced because the coating dissolves. But that only a tip from someone who works in the industry; beautiful) Very Bad, pleasant bedrooms, mattresses are a little soft.
The handover was very straightforward and very friendly, we got rush hour causes a quarter of an hour later, which was not a problem.
To summarize: I would recommend the apartment at any time. Class!
Gut gelegenes und ruhiges Apartment, groß genug, um ein paar Tage zu zweit inkl. Hund in angenehmenr Atmosphäre zu verbringen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten um die Ecke, U-Bahn-Haltestelle vor der Tür. Die Küche enthält alles, was für die Zubereitung eines Drei-Gang-Menüs vonnöten ist, die Pfannen sollten bei Gelegenheit allerdings ersetzt werden, da sich die Beschichtung löst. Das aber nur als Tipp von jemandem, der in der Branche arbeitet ;) Sehr schönes Bad, angenehmes Schlafzimmer, Matrazen sind eher etwas weich.
Die Übergabe war völlig unkompliziert und sehr freundlich, wir kamen berufsverkehrsbedingt eine Viertelstunde später, was gar kein Problem war.
Summa summarum: Ich würde das Apartment jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Klasse!
We enjoyed our stay at the apartment which we found to be very comfortable and well equipped, and it was nice to be able to sit out on the balcony. While at first the apartment appeared to be a way from the centre, the close proximity of the underground and trams made this journey very easy.
Beautiful apartment in an older building. Unfortunately some noisy neighbors, even during the night time
Schönes Apartment in älterem Gebäude. Leider etwas lärmige Nachbarn, auch während der Nachtzeit
Location idealna- subway at the condo, apartment beautiful clean and allowing free to live for many days. At the next visit to Vienna I will not be looking for anything else.
Lokalizacja idealna- metro przy mieszkaniu, mieszkanie piękne czyste i pozwalające swobodnie mieszkać przez wiele dni. Przy kolejnej wizycie w Wiedniu nie będę szukał niczego innego.
We had a great time in Vienna! The appartement was located 2 minutes walk from the station. The key handover was a bit difficult because of the language barriere. We decided to change the place of the sleeping couch. When we did, we found out that the place underneath the couch wasnt cleaned. Also the holder for the showerhead was broken so we had to hold it while showering. These were the only disadvantages we had in the appartement. The appartement was very nice with a nice tv, bathroom, sleeping room and balcony! Perfect for a week stay in the beautiful city. Thai massage is nearby!
The small practical apartment offers many amenities and is very well equipped (apart from the missing egg cup ;-)) Nice is the proximity to the subway, the Danube and the shopping area. We liked that we could stay two hours longer because of our late departure is.
Although we remained hidden in the apartment, the traditional, we are happy to recommend it further.
Pair from the Ruhr
Die kleine praktische Wohnung bietet viele Annehmlichkeiten und ist sehr gut ausgestattet (bis auf die fehlenden Eierbecher;-)) Schön ist auch die Nähe zur U-Bahn, Donau und zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Gefallen hat uns, dass wir wegen unseres späten Abfluges 2 Stunden länger bleiben konnten.
Auch wenn uns das Traditionelle an der Wohnung verborgen blieb, empfehlen wir sie gerne weiter.
Paar aus dem Ruhrgebiet
Has everything worked out great, the apartment is centrally located and is super clean. We have felt ourselves very well :-)
Hat alles super geklappt, die Wohnung liegt zentral ist und ist supersauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt :-)
We were in the 2.Osterferienwoche threesome in the apartment. We were very pleased, from toasters to dishwasher (!) Everything was there, what you braucht.Die for a short stay handing over the keys worked perfectly. The car we were able to park around the corner in a convenient parking garage, and we had for public transport a 72-hour ticket. Outside the front door bus, subway, tram and plenty are Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.Wir would not hesitate to move back.
Wir waren in der 2.Osterferienwoche zu dritt im Appartement. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, vom Toaster bis zur Spülmaschine(!) war alles da, was man für einen Kurzaufenthalt braucht.Die Übergabe des Schlüssels hat perfekt funktioniert. Das Auto konnten wir in eine günstige Parkgarage um die Ecke parken, und wir hatten für den öffentlichen Nahverkehr ein 72-Std.-Ticket. Vor der Haustür sind Bus, U-Bahn, Straßenbahn und jede Menge Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.Wir würden jederzeit wieder einziehen.

Steed Lord - Don't Hurt Love
We'd previously always sometimes been a little on the fence about Steed Lord. At times, elements of their nu-disco-housier than thou flare shone through whilst other electrobanger qualities suppressed our urge to give them a rad heaping of support. Don't get us wrong, songs like You and It's What You Do 2 Me are great... and frankly, their feature on Crookers' Transilvania was the highlight of the Italian DJ's debut long player. But it's a new upcoming EP that's got us in the grip of the quivers, and oh yeah, it's great.
Cut to the summer of 2011 and we see Steed Lord cooking up some amazing disco house tunes with their upcoming Eddie House EP. The troupe went back to their house roots on this mini album of theirs and released the first track a few months back on their Soundcloud page, so yeah, we're late on this, but geeeebs Louise it's a dandy ditty.
Give your full attentive ears to Don't Hurt Love.
Summa smash!

UPDATE: Funeral To Be Held For Baby Crystal's Sisters
The girls' family named them Gracie Lynn and Mariah Renee Stockton.
"I think the judge sent a strong message to this community and to all communities that this is a tragic event that has occurred. A mother has taken her child's life and that this type of conduct is not going to be tolerated in this community or any other," said Winnebago County States Attorney Joe Bruscato.
Winnebago County Judge John Truitt listened to hours of testimony before sentencing Katie Stockton to 50 years in prison. More than a dozen witnesses including doctors, police officers, and

For the first time, Judge Truitt allowed testimony and pictures of two infant skeletal remains found in the trunk of

"Adoption, safe haven, family and when you make choices to avoid or not make use of those options the message is that there are severe consequences," said Bruscato.

This fabulous villa in Faro Park, Playa Blanca is positioned well with fabulous sea, lighthouse and Fuerteventura views from the patio and the balcony areas.
The villa has an off-road parking space and a small gated porch area leading to the front door. The large entrance hall has a table and mirror (so you can make sure you are looking your holiday best!). On the table is a full information pack and tourist information, designed to help you make the most of your holiday.
The stairs off the hallway lead to the master suite, which we'll come back to later.
The large lounge area has twin leather setttees and a coffee table. There is a good selection of books and DVD's to watch on the TV. There's a large picture window to the pool and double french doors to the patio area which has a table, six chairs and parasol. There is complimentary WIFI
There are six comfortable sun loungers surrounding the electrically heated kidney shaped private pool which has a hand rail for easy access.
Around the side of the property there is another outdoor eating area with a large table and seating for eight, this is covered over and well-lit. Doors off this area lead to the utilty room with washing machine, tumble drier, iron and ironing board and the kitchen area.
In the fully equipped kitchen you will find a dishwasher - no washing up on hols! There's a fridge freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and cooker here, but if you don't feel like cooking indoors you can use the BBQ!
Back to the hallway, there are three doors leading to the following - family bathroom with walk-in shower and hairdryer, two twin bedrooms with double wardrobes and windows to the pool area.
Upstairs the master suite is huge with a good quality double bed, windows with sea views, and an onsuite bathroom. Double wardrobe with security safe and patio doors out to the impressive balcony area which has another table and chairs. You'll want to spend lots of time up here taking in the sea views and watching the sun go down with a glass of wine!
Faro is Spanish for Lighthouse and as its name implies that is just where Faro Park is. Adjacent to the lighthouse and on the southern most tip of Playa Blanca. Although a 7minute drive, or 1hour 20minutes walk out of Playa Blanca, Faro Park has its own charm.
The villas are located either side of a quiet road, and in well kept mature gardens, the surrounding area is one of natural beauty.
Faro Park is served by the local regular, reliable bus route, and for a euro or so, you can reach the village or venture further around the island. A taxi ride would cost around 3e to reach the village. Some holidaymakers drive out, park in the village and then get a taxi back after sampling the local vino! A head-clearing walk the next morning along the beachfront promenade to collect the car is a relaxing start to the day!
As there is an array of shops, bars and restaurants actually in Faro Park, you don't have to venture out until you want to.
Within walking distance from any of the Faro Park Villas, you will find a commercial promenade.
There is a wide selection of places to eat and drink in, or take away. These include 4 English bars, a Spanish bar, a Chinese restaurant, and an English owned café where the baker cooks overnight a mouth-watering array of delights to sell the next morning.
There are 2 supermarkets, the bigger one of the two stocks nearly all that you need, apart from fresh meat and fish, although both are available frozen. As there is quite a community of English residents/villa owners in Faro Park, the shop sells some English produce too. No need to miss out on your English breakfasts though, either buy your ingredients there, or let one of the restaurants cook a full English Breakfast up for around 3.50e.
One of the beauties of Faro Park is the proximity to the sea, with the super promenade meandering along the sea front, all the way along to the new Marina. Although it would take some time to walk it, why not hire a bike and admire the view along the coastal path. There are lots of lovely places to stop and take shade from the sun whilst you gather your thoughts and refresh your senses.
Many of the Faro Park villas have incredible sea views, across to Bocaina straights to Fuerteventura. Regularly you will see ferries, cargo ships, fishing boats and occasionally cruise ships going by.
It's a fantastic place to base your holiday, and although the rock pools and southern tip of the island waves are fantastic to watch, especially when the sun sets, it is strongly recommended not to venture on to the rocks or attempt to swim. The lighthouse is interesting to look at and again a perfect venue to watch the sunset. Do not be tempted to venture into the sea. The tide and waves can be dangerous.
Only a short drive away is some of the wonders of Lanzarote, The Timanfya Mountains, and Papagayo Beaches. The villages of Femes, El Golfo and Las Brenas, all with their own delights.

|Hi Angie, Just a quick note to say thanks for all your help during our holiday, which was much appreciated (even though we booked direct with Dave &Jan). The transfer through Canal was efficient and on time as was the car hire company. We would also recommend Cassa Pedro on the beachfront in Playa Blanca as an excellent restaurant to eat. See you next year no doubt Regards Steve, Lorrain and kids.

|Hi Lee, Just a quick note to say thank you very much for our stay at Casa Jadaryga. It was a very comfortable villa and we really appreciated the work done by the housekeeping team and pool maintenance team while we were there. A special thanks to you, Angie and Peter for sorting out the replacement car so quickly for us when the car hire company messed up again. It was great that you all went out of your way to get us picked up immediately and have the Zafira waiting when we reached the villa. But all ended well. Suffice it to say that there's no way we'd try to use them again if we return!! Anyway, will be in touch if we fail to resist the temptation to go to Lanzarote again next year ... All good wishes to you all, Grania and Peter Foster and family.

|Been back at work a whole week already,(sold eight cars,) I must be good! Anyway, thank you very much for the excellent preparation of the villa that we rented. I was well impressed with the contents of the fridge( beer and bubbly) plus the nice touches of the flower petals round the sinks and by the beds.It made me feel very special,( I hope you dont treat all guests that way) Must dash busy busy, Regards Ted.

|Apr 2006
Hi to you all and Happy Easter Just to say thanks again for your help in arranging the holiday for us and for sorting out the courtesy appartment on our last day. There is only 1 other place that we have been back to for a holiday and the last time was 9 years ago. We came back here, not only because of the weather, villa, location and the laid back Lanzarote way but additionaly as it is a pleasure and an honour to deal with you as you make us feel welcome from the moment we arrive to the moment we leave and this ethos we can see is something that everybody at Montona strives to do. We may be back in the summer or at half term in October if not we will be back next year. Thanks again, Stephen, Lorraine, Ackora and Kofey Hoilett.

Hi Angie, Hope you are all ok. Just to let you know we had a really nice letter from Denise and Peter (our last guests) saying what a wonderful holiday they had and how lovely it was to arrive to welcoming lights,music and wine etc. They also commented on how efficiently the boiler was replaced and that they would love to book again ! Sounds as if we have made someone happy and its really nice to be told about it isn?t it? We still haven?t had any luck on flights for Easter but are still trying ! Regards to all, Jan Walker.
|Mar 2005
|Just back in work since yesterday after our lovely break in Casa Jadaryga & wanted to say thanks again to you guys for sorting us out with such a nice place & special thanks to Dave for coming to our rescue the other night when we foolishly locked ourselves out !!! We really enjoyed the break (our last before baby arrives) and we'll definetely consider a return visit. I've already recommended your website to a number of people. Anyway - thanks again and enjoy the sun !! (dull & grey here today !!) Imelda & Aidan Corcoran Co Kildare, Ireland.

Take Action: Veolia
Are there any Veolia contracts in your community?:
Use this tool to find out!
|Watch this video and adapt these "Boycott Veolia" lyrics for your own use!!
- Divest from Veolia
Is your church or school invested in Veolia? Are you invested in Veolia? Contact us at email@example.com, and we can help you check. Other campaigns have successfully divested from Veolia; use these examples to start strategizing your own campaign and educating the public about Veolia's crimes. Also learn from the WE DIVEST campaign, which targets one of the biggest financial services in the U.S., TIAA-CREF, and calls upon this giant pension-fund service to divest from companies complicit in the occupation, including Veolia. Don't forget to sign their petition!
In any campaign, use your resources. The United Methodist Church task force's report recommends Veolia for divestment, along with several other companies supporting the Israeli occupation. The BDS Movement and Palestine Solidarity Campaign websites also have excellent Veolia campaign pages with further resources: background information, articles, a sample divestment letter, maps, and more.
- Exclude Veolia from public contracts
Companies can and should be excluded from bidding for a public contract, or being awarded one, on ethical grounds or on the grounds of grave misconduct. The main thrust of the "Derail Veolia" campaign in Europe has been to demand that public authorities (mostly local municipalities) exclude Veolia from public contracts for aiding and abetting war crimes, and/or ethnic segregation. For example, in the Cambridge Bin Veolia campaign, students voted to break their university's contract with Veolia based on its compicity with Israeli human rights abuses. If your city or school does not weigh in such ethical concerns, you can help pass a resolution to allow for such considerations. This is a cause that can bring together many groups interested in corporate responsibility.
Find out if your town has Veolia contracts --- check our preliminary list, ask your local municipality, your school, your church, or your community what contracts it has with Veolia and when they terminate or are up for renewal. Find out if there are contracts that Veolia might bid on, or if new bids are being considered. If you find contracts not on our list, please update us at email@example.com.
Even if your council has no contract with Veolia, or only a long term one, you can ask for Veolia to be excluded from all future contracts until all related illegal activity ends. Companies, universities and local officials need to consider the effect on their reputation of doing business with a company like Veolia, complicit in ethnic segregation and war crimes. Many universities and businesses are not bound by transparency requirements, but provide avenues to this information willingly to those invested in their operations. Additionally, local governments are required to be transparent with contract information.
Campaign tactics may include lobbying officials and representatives, teach-ins about segregation in the West Bank, presentations at official municipality meetings, local township meetings, media work, petitions, demonstrations, and presenting legal challenges with the help of legal counsel. Public employee unions usually oppose the privatization of public services, and they are natural allies in a Veolia campaign.
- Current campaign approaches
First, check to see if there are Veolia contracts in your community.
1. If your community has no Veolia contract...make it Veolia Free! Lobby your local municipality to pass policy motions excluding Veolia from bidding on future contracts. Pass a resolution in your school or church to remain Veolia Free.
2. If Veolia is bidding or likely to bid on a local contract, or if one of its contracts is up for renewal, launch a campaign pressuring the decision-makers not to use Veolia.
3. If Veolia runs a local service such as a wastewater plant, a landfill, or a transportation service - use this location in order to educate people in your community about the occupation, colonization and segregation in the West Bank.
Here is a Veolia Flier that can be used or modified as part of your own campaign.

Victim Speaks Out For the First Time Since Child Porn Suspect is Sentenced
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Less than a week after a Santa Maria child sex offender is sentenced for child pornography, one of his victims is speaking out for the first time.
"When I heard him in the hallway, I knew it wasn't my brother, I knew it wasn't my dad. He was getting closer to my room, he already opened my brother's door and I was afraid he was going to open mine," says the young victim, Kaitlyn Lacasse.
Kaitlyn Lacasse, 14, describes the terrifying moment when her neighbor and family friend, Scott Childers, 25, broke into their home last July.
"My husband said what are you doing here? He thought he left his cell phone. That's when I told my husband there's something in our house, he's watching us," says the victim's mother, Helen Lacasse.
A week later, Helen found a video camera hidden inside a vent in her daughter's bathroom.
"The night that we found the camera, he left. He had never left before, he guarded the door very well," says Helen.
The family later found out the man they trusted had been video taping Kaitlyn in the shower and in her room for months. He then distributed the footage online through child porn websites.
The family says Childers told them he took off Kaitlyn's window screen because he said it was broken. They found out he cut it and tried to break in.
"We were totally blinded by who he was," reacts Helen.
Investigators discovered Childers made sexual advances over the Internet to as many as a dozen young girls, by pretending to be a 16-year-old boy.
"Some girls that were his victims, didn't know him for who he was, didn't know his age, Kyle was a popular name he used," says Helen.
Childers has to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. As for Kaitlyn, she says she's glad he's finally paying the price.
"I feel relived that he can't do anything anymore," she says.
Childers has been sentenced to 10 years and 8 months in state prison. He will also have to pay restitution to the victims.

That's right you read it correctly, I am building a .45 acp Mauser.
I ordered the kit from Rhineland.
I had an ATI Mauser scout stock I had intended for another project but I decided to use it for this instead.
I have a ton of 45 brass and loaded ammo with only a Smith and Wesson 625 revolver to shoot it through, so why not a .45 carbine.
I am using a Spanish La Carona Mauser i got for $115. It had been radically bubbaized before I got it. The bore was rough and the stock had been hacked up really bad, however the action was nice and smooth and just needed to have all the crud cleaned out of it.
So I got the barrel off the action cleaned it out.
I Installed the Rhineland barrel and lock nut on the action following their instructions. I head spaced it with a dummy round. I will be going to a shop this weekend to double check the head space with a set of gauges just to be safe.
the two biggest challenges will be cutting out the bottom of the ATI stock for the magazine adapter and getting roll pins or some other type of pin to go through the stock to hold the magazine adapter in. Unless someone has the other version ATI stock that uses the metal trigger guard they are willing to trade for one with a molded trigger guard.
Here is where the project stands at the moment
So I think it is off to a good beginning.

despite the fact that I hope I'm in *** living by the time the entire automotive universe goes hybrid, I drove the prototype GS450H that Lexus delivered to us on my 100-mile commute last night. The exterior is different enough for me to be interested in it, and the interior is quite fine, in a luxurious sort of way.Big news is: the car is a freaking rocket. It just flies when you touch the accelerator. The bad news is: steady state driving quality is kind of like being driven by someone who can't a steady speed. It surges forward slightly, drops back, surges, drops...The Honda Accord hybrid had that same feel and it's totally annoying.
As an owner of an Accord hybrid I should disagree but I know what MeanJean means. The braking system is even worse: it's much more difficult to modulate than a regular vehicle.
I've noticed the same thing in Toyota/Lexus hybrid cars. I can't really decide it is in the hybrid system itself or in the continuously variable transmission. When you don't have an actual gear to hold at one rpm, it seems like its harder for the transmission to stay smooth during, say, highway driving.
thats unfortunate. hybrids make sense when they operate exactally as an gas engine with the only perceived difference being the improved gas milage.people often ask the question "why shouldnt you be willing to pay more for a hybrid, your willing to pay more for a v8?" the difference is that if i pay for a v8, or any performance option, i dont just want the extra power. i want everything about the v8 from the sound to the different driving experience. when i but a hybrid i want to not notice that its a hybrid.i will never own a hybrid until it delivers a similar driving experience as a normal engine but costs me less in the long run. the day that the technology can deliver that i will go and buy one.

Windows 8.1 Hits RTM, Aims to Win Back Customers
Jason Mick
August 27, 2013 7:12 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Start Button, boot to desktop, tile tweaking, tutorials, and many other changes look to win back customers
It's a time of turbulence for Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), the world's largest PC operating system maker. Amidst many struggles, Microsoft's ebullient leader Steve Ballmer announced that he will be
stepping down during the next year
, a
somewhat unintended departure
that his critics have
long been clamoring for
I. Ballmer's Bane Revisited
While Windows Vista may be Mr. Ballmer's
greatest disappointment
, the driving force behind his departure was arguably Windows 8.
Windows 8 started off a promising concept, but fell victim to a myriad of flaws and shortcomings, which have led to the
biggest percentage drop in PC sales ever
. One major issue was the scope of the redesign -- Microsoft dropped a very new and different interface on consumers with the graphically rich "Modern UI" (aka Metro) homepage and a slew of new multi-touch gestures. Where other similarly complex OSs such as Android include a built-in tutorial that helps teach users how to use the new UI, Windows 8 had no such tutorial. As a result many customers
wrote Windows 8 off quickly, "downgrading" to Windows 7
Other critical flaws in Windows 8 include Microsoft's inability to enforce
its intended touchscreen requirement
-- a critical pillar of the optimal Windows 8 consumer experience -- and Microsoft's
unwillingness to listen to customers
who wanted a backup traditional Start Button/Start Menu when in Desktop Mode.
Even as Mr. Ballmer prepares his exit, his company is aiming to fix some of its Windows 8 misses with Windows 8.1.
The Start Button hovers in Windows 8.1 allowing a fast return to the Desktop Mode. New users are now greeted with tutorials to help them learn the foreign interface in more of a friendly fashion. [Image Source: CNET]
Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 RT
hit Release to Manufacturing
(RTM) on Wednesday. The OS will be released consumers on Oct. 18 as
a free update for all Windows 8 users
II. Windows 8.1 Aims to Turn Around Windows 8 Flop
The RTM build should pack a near complete feature set -- include the aforementioned missing tutorials and Start Button. While
not the Start Button that some consumers were hoping for
, the new Start Button hovers familiarly in the lower left-hand corner, allowing you to quickly flip into and out of the Modern UI -- essentially an unrolled Start Menu -- with a click. Windows 8.1 also
restores the ability to boot to desktop
-- rather than the Modern UI Homepage.
It also integrates
numerous other improvements
, including unified themes; new Modern UI core apps; the ability to unpin, group move, and resize tiles at will; and an improved Windows Store.
Microsoft has taken a gamble by putting the people behind Windows 8 and its mobile twin Windows Phone 8
in key positions of leadership
, during the
recent executive shakeup
. This is a clear testimony to the fact that while Mr. Ballmer may be being shuffled out the door, Microsoft's Board of Directors believes the company was headed in the right direction with Windows 8 and merely failed on the delivery.
Windows 7, Microsoft's
greatest sales success
, was born out of the ashes of the
poorly received Windows Vista
. Likewise Microsoft is looking to hone the sooty carbon of Windows 8 into a diamond with Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 RTM is the last major milestone in that pre-release refinement process.
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

In keeping with annual tradition, the Vaughan bequest of watercolours by Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) will go on display in the National Gallery of Ireland from 1-31 January 2009. Admission is free.
The 31 watercolours of the Vaughan Bequest on show span the artist's career and include a number of examples from his Continental tours, which depict stunning locations like The Doge's Palace in Venice, Lake Lucerne, and the fortresses at Bellinzona in Switzerland. Some of his most striking works in watercolour were produced during the 1840's, and show how the artist magically captured the effects of light.
This year the Turner exhibition will be shown alongside a display of 17th 18th and 19th century silhouettes and miniatures which were bequeathed to the Gallery in 1985 by the notable Belfast collector and historian, Mary A. McNeill. This collection includes exquisite portraits by Richard Cross, Henry Bone, and Augustin Édouart.
A brochure written by Niamh MacNally, Exhibition Curator, to complement this special display will be available from the Gallery Shop. A series of free public talks on Turner and the McNeill bequest will take place during January, on Tuesdays at 10.30am and Sundays at 3.00pm. Admission is free.

Kids learn about 'being green'
The Lutheran Church of the Cross Creation Care Team hosted two Eco Summer Camps in August to teach first- through fifth-graders about sustainability and "being green."
Alicia Green, who has taught children about science and the environment for more than 20 years, conducted the sessions at the Nisswa church. Green has a science teaching license and a bachelor's degree in biochemistry.
The focus was on teaching hands-on, inquiry-based experiments, engineering projects and cutting edge green technology while trying to save the planet.
Topics included discussing the different cycles that occur on the planet, examining the recycling system, learning the powers of the sun by making solar cars, learning about the wonders of wind and harnessing wind power, and spreading awareness of all they learned.
Children who participated planted two community garden plots at the church, practiced yoga poses and met area farmers and ate locally grown foods as a snack.

well today was the first day I went in. We hit 50 above finally. thats a 70 degree increase in less than 48 hours!
I went into the weak hive first. it looks like they never moved from their original cluster and died right there.
strong hive did somewhat better. They did still die but the best I can tell they starved to death. They started strong both hives started at the front of the hive. This hive worked its way to the rear within the first 3"es or so from the top of the bar, plenty of stores below them. The queen was on the 2nd to last frame. A bunch made it into the feeder on the other end that was full of dry sugar, they burrowed down oh 1/3rd of the way. I saw them come out the end of january so I know they made it that long or slightly longer. The vent I had was right before the frame feeder full of sugar.
That hive had a TON of water in it! I had the entrance choked down to 1/2 x 1/2" and had the cover (strip of ply wood) over the the frame feeder wedged up 1/4" or so of the starved out hive...the other hive I was able to get completely through.
both were in golden mean hives. I'm contemplating swapping to warre's but doubt I can get them done before the bees arrive this year if I keep going at this. Its hard to justify killing off every year at 150+ per hive per year.
I'll try and post pics tomorrow....the starved out hive I couldnt get in too deep, broke off a few frames, still too much ice on the one side of the hive opposite the window. I did pull 4 or so bars out.

'Short-term' IT skills fixes criticised
Page Tools
Australia's IT industry is heading for a disaster if the Government resorts to short-term remedies such as immigration to fix what is touted as a skills shortage, the director of a leading IT recruitment firm in Melbourne says.
Vincent Teubler, managing director of VTR Consulting, said bringing in people on 457 visas to plug a hole which had been created by bad industry practices over many years would create a snowball effect.
"There are problems in the recruitment cycle which need to be sorted out. Companies used to recruit graduates, keep them trained and able to handle changes in technology as these were taken on board. Now, the response to a change in technology, is to go out and look for consultants to handle things," he said.
"If one brings in a team to handle a one-off high-level task, then it is understandable. But industry is increasingly depending on contractors and part-timers; what happens when they need a full-time staffer? There is nobody with the requisite skills.
"But again, rather than take in a graduate and train the person, a company prefers to hire a contractor, pay him whatever he asks and solve the problem temporarily. This culture has to be changed if we want to avoid a repetition of this situarion," Teubler said.
He said the industry organisations which were pushing the barrow of bringing in people on 457 visas had their own conflicts of interest.
"The Australian Information Industry Association represents industry. Of course, companies like to hire people on 457 visas because they are cheaper. So is it surprising that the AIIA backs the 457 solution?" he asked.
"The Australian Computer Society earns its income from evaluating people for IT skills and seeing if they are suitable for migration - wouldn't they be inclined to opt for the migration solution?"
However, he was quick to add that the ACS had recently taken a stand on migration that was praiseworthy.
Teubler said the IT Contract and Recruitment Association also stood to gain if the number of contractors grew.
"The more candidates that are in the ICT market the easier it is to fill opportunities from clients and ipso facto the easier the job of the recruiter. Easier equals more income and easier equals less costs (as it takes less time to find candidates).
"However you will also note that ITCRA (in its submission to the Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone) sought the considered opinion of 7 of its 180 odd members 2 of which are Contractor Management Companies not ICT Recruiters and are actually Associates not full members. (CXC and Entity solutions). These contractoir Management companies make money among other things by 'sponsoring' ICT professionals on visas. So arguing for a 10 percent increase would be like securing a 10 percent increase in your sales!"
He asked: "How come nobody has asked why we are approaching the immigration minister to fix a problem of skills shortage within the IT industry. Don't we have an IT minister in Australia?
"What we need is a coordinated approach - people representing all interests should sit down and the Government should formulate policy based on our country's interests. If I ran a business the way IT policy is being conducted at the moment, I would be doing just one thing - running the business into the ground."
Teubler said the employment downturn which the IT industry faced a few years ago was due to the unnecessary number of 457 visas issued. "There were too many people on these visas working in Australia. So it was only natural that there would be a large number of unemployed people among Australian residents."
He said the encouragement offered by the Government to offshoring was adding to the problem. ""Far too many of the big consulting firms that bid for and win ICT BPO business get the work done in part or in total offshore.
"What happens to the locals? They can be hired and in the process acquire additional skills which are needed for these kinds of jobs which are growing in number. But, no, a conuslting firm, which has registered outlets in India, China, or wherever, sends the work offshore."

We had a wonderful stay in Lisboa and especially in this gorgeous appartement. Very clean, comfortable and in the middle of the nightlife of Bairro Alto. The welcome and introduce was warm and very uncomlicated. Absolutely advisable!
HORRIBLE ESTANCIA!! Llegamos y no tenia cortinas, las pusieron por la tarde el dia que llegamos.El ruido por la noche es insoporable,se encuentra en una calle de bares y tuvimos que usar tapones porque sino era imposible dormir El wifi no es tal sino un wifi que es una tarjeta sim a un router portatil. Total, que solo tuvimos internet dos dias y malamente porque según los anfitriones se quedaba sin saldo.La television no fuimos capaces de encenderla. La limpieza del apartamento al llegar escasa, el espejo del cuarto de baño tenia manchas de agua de otras personas anteriores. Las almohadas parecían unos cojines sin relleno. NO LO ALQUILÉIS.
Charmant petit appartement à la décoration vraiment sympa dans un quartier bien animé.
La rue est très passante, composée de multiples petits bars où les fêtard boivent l'apéro à l'intérieur et dans la rue. Ambiance festive et animée jusqu'à tard dans la nuit.
Cela ne nous a pas dérangé, une fois les fenêtres fermées le bruit reste correct.
L'appart est mignon, propre et la douche à jets bien agréable (même si ça met un peu d'eau partout dans la salle de bain). La cuisine a tout ce qu'il faut pour faire à manger et le café.
Nous vous conseillons ce petit cocon, parfait pour un séjour en amoureux!
이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
First of all, the staff was very kind and polite! Alex managed a cab and helped us out for our emergency flight.
The place looked proper and big. The bathrooms were ok and clean.
The rooms and beds also ok
The main reason we won't stay here anymore was the extreme noise of the club below us. We stayed from Thursday till Sunday and the nuisance was enormous!
We also disliked the fourth floor without elevator but that felt like peanuts compared our sleep during the nights.
In case of emergency, like fire, there was no escape possible. Except for jumping outside the window from 10 mtr high.
For us we liked the location during the day but we recommend another place as well.
The apartment looked really nice and it's location is great, even though it's hard to find a parking spot for free.
However it lacked in kitchen suppies e.g. coffee mashine or bowls.
Apartment is really nice and location is good - really close to Barrio Alto, tram 28 etc but on a quiet street.
Arrived late and had a rather unfortunate issue with the key which meant we couldn't get in on the first night.. however the hosts we're very helpful in fixing this for us and covered extra costs incurred.
Would recommend.
The location to the centre of Lissabon is great, however, it is very noisy during the night.
The balcony is nice but the furniture is bad.
Almost all the electric instalations was damage and therefore quite dangerous for children.
The cleaning was rather bad.
positiv...nice contact....5 stars
thank you
Amazing appartment, beautifully decorated and perfectly equipped. Only a 10 min walk away from the Bairro Alto. Our host was great as well! I'd go back to this flat any time!

The Kelly catalog came today. Its 0 out today, a stiff wind blowing from the north west. The snow in the driveway is deeper than the plow on the old Ford. Put the blower on the john deere and spent as long as i could stand it, blowing out. I had been doing fine this year, but a few pages in to the Kelly book and now spring fever has hit; hard. I have started a mental invintory of what i have, what needs repaired / painted and what I need to buy. Its tempting to walk down to the yard and tap on the sides of each hive, to see whos alive and whos not. But I havent the heart to do that to them in this weather. Just before Christmas, we had a couple of mild days and it was apparent that all 7 were healthy and happy. As cold as its been, I am sure they are alive. I always seem to lose them in the spring, when the humidity gets high and the nights still get cold.
Dos anybody else start feeling this way this early?
