The construction of a new Burger King is going ahead despite objections from a nearby school.
Construction of a new Burger King branch is under way on Cameron Rd between Fifth and Sixth Aves and within 20m of Tauranga Primary School.
In November the school petitioned Tauranga City Council about the additional traffic it believed would drive down its street once the fast food outlet opens.
Tauranga Primary School deputy board chairman Kevin Allum suggested two options that would solve the problem.
The first would be to make the Fifth Ave entry to Burger King a no exit.
The second would be to put a physical barrier on Fifth Ave so that vehicles exiting on to the road would be forced to turn left and left again on to Cameron Rd.
Tauranga City Council transportation operations manager Martin Parkes said the council had decided against those measures for the time being.
He said the council was removing some parking from around the Cameron Rd exit to allow traffic to get out more safely and installing a pedestrian refuge at the intersection of Cameron Rd and Fifth Ave to help students cross.
Burger King had also agreed to install a left-hand turn arrow at the Fifth Ave exit, he said.
Mr Parkes said he believed it was unlikely the fast food outlet would increase the amount of traffic past the school, which is split across both sides of Fifth Ave.
Traffic counters had already been installed so the council could monitor the change in traffic volumes once the restaurant opened.
"We want to see what actually happens when Burger King's open. There may not be an issue," Mr Parkes said.
He said other measures could be put in place if it was deemed necessary once Burger King was trading.
A spokeswoman for Burger King said they were on track to open the restaurant by the end of March.
"We have had very positive meetings with Jenny McNicol, the principal of Tauranga Primary School, and have no issue at all with the changes she has asked of us. We are committed to being a good neighbour which includes being receptive to the community."

Six Flags Astroworld will auction off loads of the closed amusement park's equipment in a chance for collectors to acquire some Houston history. It's not just memorabilia items says Six Flag's Donna Maria Jendritza.
So too is the carousel. The three-day auction starts Friday at the former park. The rides will be on the block on Saturday. Astroworld closed its doors in October after 37 years. Not all rides will be for sale, many have been moved to other Six Flags parks. The rules and regulations of the auction are posted on an auction web site.
Oklahoma City-based Six Flags Incorporated had operated the park since 1975. Six Flags officials opted to sell the 109-acre site rather than make additional investments during a time of dwindling attendance. A real estate agent said he expects the parcel, which sits across the street from Reliant Stadium, will be split up and developed for a myriad of uses.

Shareholders may also get a 28% stake in the purchaser, EnerSys which is based in Pennsylvania. EnerSys's acquisition of Invensys subsidiary Energy Storage Group will make it the world's largest industrial batteries company.
ESG is a supplier of standby and motive batteries and battery chargers. These are used to supply back-up power to ensure that equipment, mainly in the telecoms and information technology industries, will continue to operate.
Privately owned EnerSys is controlled by Morgan Stanley Capital Partners, which will issue warrants to Invensys that, if exercised, will give it a 28% in the US group. Insiders believe that EnerSys could now float to enable Invensys to realise its warrants. The Americans will also supply Invensys with products and equipment for its Power Systems division.
EnerSys markets brands such as Exide and Hawker. Many of them are used in forklift trucks. ESG has 15 manufacturing facilities in nine countries and employs 5,000 people.
The deal will have to be cleared by regulatory authorities in the US, France and China. Haythornthwaite said: 'This significant transaction continues the board's focus on reducing the level of indebtednessî

In this CNN piece, If You Hear God Speak Audibly, You (Usually) Aren't Crazy, author Tanya Luhrmann writes that talking to God, and hearing answers, is common in people who pray. She doesn't affirm whether or not God actually speaks to people (thank god), only that the people who claim to hear God arent' crazy.
I have to ask this: If you believe that God DOES talk to you, then don't you feel a little bad that he didn't answer the prayers of all those parents of kids who had cancer? What kind of God talks to you about your life, but allows an entire race of people to be killed, an entire country to be victimized, or a school to be terrorized? Who was praying when they were murdered? Why didn't God talk to them and warn them? "It wasnt' their time," "it's not for us to know" or "they went to a better place" are not good answers.
So, yes, if you believe God talks to you, you are nuts.

What is it?
The Mondeo is Ford's long-serving large family car. It's been around since 1992 in various guises and the current version, introduced in 2007, has been treated to three new engines - two diesels (a 1.6 and a 2.2 TDCi), one petrol (1.6 EcoBoost) and a special grille to improve its aerodynamics.
Is it any good?
Sharp looks and handling to match have always been strong points for the Mondeo and there's no change there. All three new engines are remarkably quiet and refined, but they behave differently. The 1.6 TDCi diesel is relaxed in the way it delvers its power, but it's very competent in most situations, especially on A-roads and motorways. By contrast, the 1.6 EcoBoost petrol engine responds well to hard driving. It's punchy from the off, but runs out of steam as the revs rise, so it's better suited to town driving.
The 2.2-litre TDCi diesel engine is as smooth as they come. With 197bhp, it's hardly short of poke, but its additional weight makes itself felt at low speeds. However, you couldn't ask for a more relaxed, long-legged motorway companion.
As for the fuel-saving aerodynamic upgrade, Ford is now offering the Mondeo with its 'Active Grille Shutter'. This automatically opens and closes the slats on the grille when the engine doesn't need cooling and can reduce aerodynamic drag by up to six percent on the move.
Should I call the bank manager?
Price is the Mondeo's sore point. Although it's not a rip-off, it is, in typical Ford style, a bit more expensive than the competition. Prices start at £17,705 for the most basic model, but you'll pay £18,700 for the entry-level 1.6 EcoBoost Edge, while an equivalent 1.6 TDCi 115 costs £19,795. The 2.2 TDCi is only available in higher trim levels and starts at £24,105 in Titanium spec. The most expensive Mondeo of them all is the 2.2 TDCi automatic estate in Titanium X guise, which costs £30,610.
The Ford's saving grace in this respect is its impressively low running costs. The new 1.6-litre TDCi engine emits only 114g/km and returns 65.7mpg, which is a big draw for anyone who covers high mileage. The 1.6 petrol returns 44.1mpg and 149g/km, while the 2.2 TDCi offers 47.1mpg and 159g/km.
The Mondeo has long been regarded as the car to beat in this class and it's still at the top of its game. The new engines and lower emissions make it even more appealing, especially for business car users, who make up the bulk of customers for cars like the Ford. Handsome, cheap to run and good to drive, the Mondeo is as good as it's ever been.

Where I stayed
The Glan Yr Afon Inn
We have decided to extend today's walk to try to give ourselves an extra rest day in Prestatyn. After all, we have had three rest days in Chester, so we should be in good shape and with Dorothy taking our backpack in the car, it seems an opportunity not to be missed. Also we had been planning to stay in Northop but there did not appear to be any accommodation in the town so we have booked ahead at a pub in the delightful sounding village of Dolphin. Because of our extended destination we have decided to stick with the most direct route we can find while still avoiding main roads.
We find our way out of central Chester relying as usual on Debby's innate sense of direction in towns. We walk along the town wall to the Tower and then on to the Dee River Coastal Path, which is a tremendous purpose built bike and jogging path, which leads straight out of the city up the early stretches of the estuary. We are all surprised when we come to a sign welcoming us to Wales. It feels like we are still in the outskirts of Chester and we had no idea Wales was so close. Keith looks worryingly at the sky, but for the time being it's a very pleasant day with no rain in sight. He questions whether we really are in Wales.
We meet a local along the path who tells us within half an hour we will witness one of the great spectacles of the River Dee. It is the change of tide which will bring with it a significant wave as water begins to pour back up the Dee from the sea. Apparently there is a 35 ft. spring tide which will flow on today's new moon. Fancy us happening by at this momentous time. When the event actually occurs, it is not quite as impressive as we had been led to believe and we see a 10 in. wave followed by endless deep brown effluent flowing back up the river. We are glad we are not going to be in Chester when all that arrives.
As we press on down the interminably long straight track, Keith begins to worry about Mike's lack of conditioning and just whether this was a good idea of his to join us. Still, no-one is more game or more determined than Mike, so on we go. We cross the river just before reaching the power plant, with steel and paper mills in close proximity. Now we have entered the light industrial area of Connah's Quay. We are temporarily waylaid while we find an exit which will take us under the rail line and out into the residential area beyond
Needless to say, as the group reach the lunchtime pub, having almost deliriously fantasised over the various soups and chicken and ham pies which will be available, all hopes are dashed. The pub is closed. Talking to a local, we are told the nearest functioning pub is some distance away. It seems such a cruel fate, especially with Mike experiencing his first day with us and looking so completely done in. On leaving this village we do find a small convenience store where Keith is able to obtain the proverbial life saver pork pie, while Debby eats a tasteless chicken salad sandwich. Mike can't face food but downs a bottle of water at last. He is eagerly awaiting a call from Dorothy to inform him just when she will be picking him up in the car.
With Mike's call still awaited and after perching uncomfortably on a sharp stone wall for 15 minutes to have lunch, we press on. Now we are walking through lovely farmland along very small back lanes. We pass through Northop, which was to have been our original destination today, and can only reflect at the level of tiredness we are experiencing, perhaps this means the decision to extend will prove an unfortunate one
We reach the village at 4.30 and stop in the Blue Bell Inn, where reunited with Dorothy, we consume cups of tea while chatting with the landlord. Unwittingly we have landed in a walkers' pub and one that receives about 150 walkers a week through its doors. We have a good chat with the landlord who is very interested and quite envious of the adventure we are tackling. He advises us on a great little walk to end our day today, which involves scaling the adjacent Halkyn Mountain for some lovely long distance scenic views. We are not sure we have it in us to do this, but with the tea having warmed us, we decide to have a go. First though we have our goodbyes to say with Mike and Dorothy. Mike has done an incredible job and walked nearly 20 miles. He is red faced and tired out, but has displayed all the features which we know have made him such an awesome competitor during his life so far and of course those genes have passed into his offspring. Before departing Mike explains the incredible admiration that he has for Debby who has kept going like the rabbit behind Keith's long striding giraffe.
We manage to descend to dinner and are very pleasantly surprised to find our pub has a good restaurant with very well cooked food
When we finally hit the bed, thinking nothing would stop us sleeping, we become aware of the shocking state of the bed. It makes loud squeaking and creeking noises every time we turn over. Eventually we pass out.

The world's second-worst wakeup call.Posted by Donna Freedman on Feb 28, 2011 | 13 comments
If just before bed you get one of those odd, fleeting thoughts along the lines of "The fire alarm is going to ring," pay attention.
Yep: At around 6:30 a.m. I was awakened by a shrieking siren. I'm glad I've learned to listen to those weird little flashes I get from time to time. When the shrieking started, I was ready to roll.
Even as I sat up I was pulling on my coat (right next to me in the little Bat Cave that is a pod bed). Fumbled for my glasses, snapped on my fanny pack and pulled my backpack out with me as I stood up, right into the shoes at the foot of the bed.
Grabbed my jeans (which held my house keys as well as $100 USD and about 35 GBP plus a pocket full of change) and stuffed them into the backpack. Stumbled four steps to the cupboard, which I'd left unlocked because I was the only person in here last night, and pulled out my suitcase and computer.
The computer went into the backpack and I was pulling the suitcase out the door with me, probably 60 seconds after I first woke up.
Baby, it's cold outside
I had been sleeping in sweatpants and T-shirt, unlike some of the folks trudging down the fire stairs. I saw people in boxers and nothing else, people in shorts and camisoles and people in flannel PJ pants and undershirts. Relatively few of them were carrying anything. I guess they weren't as paranoid-prepared as I was.
We waited in a fine drizzle. Luckily, I got a spot under the theater marquee next door. (Apparently "Grease" is still the word.) The fire department arrived and even I could see this wasn't real: One firefighter went in.
After about 25 minutes we were allowed back inside. Apparently something had set off the fire alarm in the adjacent building – it wasn't actually burning – and this one went off as a precaution. Or something like that.
So I missed an hour of sleep. At least it wasn't a real fire, which would have been the worst wakeup call.
Now I'm going to get up off the floor (no desk here) and go on about my business. First I need to put some butter on the ciabatta rolls I bought last night and eat one of them for breakfast; the other two are my road snacks, along with an apple and some dried cherries).
Then I'll put on my jeans, pull the sheets off the bed, leave my room key-card at the front desk and head out to the subway* to Victoria Coach Station.
Cardiff, here I come. Here's hoping the Megabus is worth at least as much as I paid.
*Sorry, I just can't call it "the tube." Neither would I call television "the telly" or sausage with potatoes "bangers and mash." I would if I lived here, but I don't.

Fun fact: There's an entire network of awesome sites just like Tomopop!
Maybe you didn't know about them. Maybe you did and forgot about them. Possibly you've been avoiding them because you heard they all had some STDs. Well, I'm not here to confirm or deny the potential rumors of which site has what, but I can tell you now that you definitely should be enjoying all the wonders that the Modern Method network has to offer and not just Tomopop.
As such I am bringing easy access to the most interesting things on the network to you. Welcome to Wha' Happened, a daily recap of all the awesome that's gone on around this wonderful network of sites. Each day, I'll be bringing you the cream of the cream from each site... or just the posts with boobs. We'll see how it works out. So come on in, the water's been cleaned since that whole cheese fondue incident.
Fable: The Journey preview. Is it on rails? Yes... or maybe no. I'm not sure.
Assassin's Creed III reveal trailer. Renaissance Italy to the U.S. Civil War? Yup, nothing happened between those times.
Street Fighter X Tekken review. Two fighting games together at last. But does this strange relationship breed good or evil?
BADaptation: Mortal Kombat. Lots and lots of fanboy rage.
Men in Black III trailer. Josh Brolin does the greatest Tommy Lee Jones ever. Possibly better than Tommy Lee Jones does Tommy Lee Jones.
Keanu Reeves has read the Bill and Ted 3 script and likes it. Keanu Reeves can read?
Shonen Showdown. Missed your favorite anime or manga? Not a problem because Japanator's got you covered, with a fancy new logo to boot.
Why tsundere girls are appealing. I'm not cool enough to know what a tsundere girl is, but judging from the header I find them appealing. Also, science!
Cats. Now in idol group form.

From whitening to ultra-sensitive, there are a multitude of toothpastes available on today's market. How do you choose? Start by selecting one with fluoride, which will prevent cavities. Other things to consider are flavor, whitening potential, tartar control and price. Often the biggest difference between two brands is packaging, so don't get hung up on the finer details. Consider selecting fun flavored toothpaste for children, as it will encourage them to brush regularly.

Did you know that tea can stain your teeth even more than coffee? Many other foods can cause tooth staining, including deeply colored sauces like tomato and curry, highly-acidic sports and energy drinks, red wine, cola, dark berries, artificially colored candy and many others.
At Andrew Sklar, D.D.S, PC we recommend that you rinse your mouth with water after consuming any of these stain causing food, or use a straw to sip sodas and iced tea. Please call us at (855) 391-2732 if you have any questions about foods and your dental health.
Overwhelmed by your choices? Here's how to choose the right toothpaste for you. While your toothbrush does most of the plaque removal, abrasive agents in toothpaste will scour food particles and plaque from your teeth. Fluoride is the best-known toothpaste ingredient, added to make the outer tooth structure more decay-resistant.
Laurel sulfates, the most common surfactants, can dissolve plaque and fight bacteria. They also provide a foam that helps to carry away debris. Still not sure? Ask Dr. Sklar for a recommendation by calling our office at (855) 391-2732.

Are you looking for the perfect day trip from Amsterdam? Or a place where you can walk off the extra calories gained from binging on all those Dutch pancakes, croquettes and fries? Maybe you just want a quiet getaway break from the craziness of Amsterdam in general?
Abeno | Authentic Okonomiyaki in London
Okonomiyaki's are fantastic! For those who haven't heard of this amazing dish, think of it like a Japanese pizza type pancake with a cabbage, egg, spring onion, ginger and tempura batter dough base plus toppings of your choice. Now, at first, this might not sound particularly appetising, but you really have to try it yourself to appreciate the intense flavours and textures that explode in your mouth when you take a bite!
The Hawksmoor Burger
Hawksmoor prides itself on being one of the best steak houses in London, and rightly so, as the steaks are to die for. The burgers however are less well known, but knowing the high quality of meat served from Hawksmoor, we knew we were in for a treat. As part of the lunch menu, they offer a 'Hawksmoor Hamburger with triple cooked chips' deal for £15 and this is what we went for.
Flat Iron | Great Steak for a Tenner
So, we first heard of this great place on Twitter, God bless Twitter! Flat Iron Steak was set to be served above the Owl & Pussycat pub in Shoreditch. As with many cool things in London, it opened in the guise of a pop-up restaurant and was open for just a few weeks in August.
Romantic Venice in 21 Stunning Shots
Venice. Romantic, mysterious and one of a kind! From the Grand Canal to the Rialto Bridge, and from gondolas to street markets, enjoy our photoblog of Venice in 21 stunning, typically Venetian, Photos.
Spectacular Fireworks Display in Blackheath, London
The Blackheath Fireworks display is a bit of a big deal in South East London. It's one of the biggest free community events in the capital and on Guy Fawkes weekend is the talk of the town. Year on year it gets bigger and better and it is now attracting up to 100,000 people from all around the South East. That's pretty impressive!
And for good reason, as the fireworks display on show was spectacular! Definitely the best year yet! Here are some of the pics we took whilst marveling at this explosive show, enjoy!
Goodman | Is This The Best Steak House in London?
So, as we entered the Mayfair branch of Goodman and walked through, there was a good vibe about the place. We admired the exposed brickwork, the American style decor and the loud chitter chatter of punters. The interior was nice, with dimmed down, ambient lighting which created a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. First impressions were good!
Bo Innovation | The Demon Chef's Michelin Starred Restaurant
Alvin Leung, the 'Demon Chef'
Alvin Leung is a truly remarkable chef. He spent 20 years of his life working as an engineer, then 9 years ago with no prior training, he opened Bo Innovation, now a restaurant holding 2 Michelin stars. To put this feat of achievement into perspective, only 2 self-taught chefs have ever earned Michelin stars; the other was Heston Blumenthal.

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta says they'll be standing by coach Antonio Conte after he was called to trial in the latest Italian betting scandal.
Conte and several members of his staff were charged with failing to report an attempted sporting fraud while at Siena as part of the investigation into a betting scandal.
"There is deep bitterness at seeing our members brought into the situation, as they are very professional and fair, so we believe in their good faith," Marotta said at the presentation ceremony for the Serie A 2012-13 calendar.
"We have handed the reins to Conte, we're happy with him and he will be Juventus Coach now and in future, regardless of the outcome of the sentence. We will find a solution."

So Twitter had this feed that allowed users to post possible Joe Biden debate lines against Paul Ryan. I found this to be incredibly imaginative and amusing, especially with lines such as…
The America I knows takes pride in signing the back of the check.
"Is this almost over? I heard there were Spaghetti-Os in the break room."
When Obama and I were killing bin Ladin, we didn't have time to propose a budget
…and the ever popular…
No words, just visualize Paul Ryan with a laser pointer and Biden running around the stage trying to catch the red dot….
I have to say this will likely be the most amusing debate in history! The Gaffe Machine that is Biden – the utterer of pearls such as…
"I promise you, the president has a big stick. I promise you." –Joe Biden, citing Theodore Roosevelt's famous quote, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." (April 26, 2012)
"Jill and I had the great honor of standing on that stage, looking across at one of the great justices, Justice Stewart." –Joe Biden, mistakenly referring to Justice John Paul Stevens, who swore him in as vice president, Washington, D.C., Jan. 20, 2009
"Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." –Joe Biden, Athens, Ohio, Oct. 15, 2008
and, of course
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." –Joe Biden, referring to Barack Obama at the beginning of the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, Jan. 31, 2007
Against Paul Ryan…
"We had the highest poverty rates we've had in a generation. One in six Americans are in poverty today. These policies are making it worse. So why should we keep throwing money at failed programs? And what we're saying is, 'Let's reform these programs and get people off of welfare and back to work.My mom relies on Medicare. We all owe her and all of our seniors a better program – one that they can actually count on. … We propose to put 50 million seniors, not 15 unaccountable bureaucrats, in charge of their personal health care decisions."Big-government economics breeds crony capitalism. It's corrupt, anything but neutral, and a barrier to broad participation in prosperity.I don't consult polls to tell me what my principles are or what our policies should be.
Look, only in Washington is not raising taxes considered a tax cut. Nobody's getting a tax cut here. We're not cutting taxes. We're preventing tax increases from occurring.
versus this:
Hmmmmmmmmm…. wonder who will win THAT debate!

People who don't use their vacation time are starving the economy.
Okay, maybe that's a little bit of an oversimplification, but a new study by Oxford Economics conducted on behalf of the U.S. Travel Association found that Americans who chose not to use all of their paid time off deprive the economy of $160 billion in total business sales and $21 billion in tax revenues.
And while not all of that money would be derived from folks traveling — after all, not everyone will be able to splurge on a getaway and will instead opt for a staycation — a lot of it would be.
For instance, the report states that if all unused personal time were successfully converted to travel, leisure travel spending would be $99 billion dollars greater. Of course, that's not going to happen, but the report estimates an additional $67 billion could realistically be converted into travel spending.
The reason the dollar amounts are so high is that a staggering 42 percent of Americans ended 2013 with unused vacation days. Of that 42 percent, the average amount of unused vacation time was 8.1 days — enough time for a road trip through California's national parks, a relaxing cruise or two to three extended weekend getaways!
And the sad part of the whole thing is that while not everyone has money in their budget for a vacation, most people choose not to use their vacation time because they think they're being responsible.
"My company needs me."
"There's too much work to be done for me to take off."
"Leaving now would affect my overall performance."
But these beliefs are often simply not true.
Survey Says: Travel Makes Us Happier
Research continues to show that employees who take time off to recharge are significantly more productive upon their return to work, a fact most managers recognize. According to the report, most managers believe that taking vacation time improves their employees' mental health (76 percent of respondents) and physical health (67 percent). Similar numbers of managers believe that time off enhances their employees' personal and social lives. The bottom line: Healthy, happy people are healthy, happy workers, and managers know it.
Those who use all their vacation time are also being more responsible to their country (cue patriotic music). If each employee who currently leaves paid time off on the table were to take just one additional day of earned leave each year, the economy would benefit by $73 billion dollars.
So the next time someone you know says they don't plan on using up all their vacation time, feel free to give them a lecture on why taking vacations, even one as short as a weekend getaway, is so important to their employers, themselves and their country.
Ditch the Hotel: 10 Cheaper Ways to Stay
And if they still insist their workplace can't survive without them? Well, tell them to send me their days off. I know I can find a use for them.

People who don't use their vacation time are starving the economy.
4 Responses to "How the Road Not Traveled Is Hurting the Economy"
The only economy I feel I need to help is my own.
That's all very we'll for those that can afford to have a vocation.
Take your vacation time people. I don't care if you sit on the sofa and daydream. That time is important. You don't own the company you work for…they should be able to get along without you for a while.
There's also a difference, and I'm not sure they accounted for it in their study, between unused "carryover" vacation time and that which is lost. Some of us carry over the time to use the next year for a better, longer vacation, or, in systems without separate sick leave, to cover in case we are sick.

The drawn-out crisis: It's the Obama way
The election is over, a new era begins—and it looks just like the old one. A crisis is declared. Confusion, frustration, and a more embittered process follow. This is . . . the Obama Way. Nothing has changed, even after a yearlong campaign that must, at times, have looked to him like a near-death experience. He still doesn't want to forestall jittery, gloom-laden headlines and make an early deal with the other guy. He wants to beat the other guy. …
You watch and wonder: Why does it always have to be cliffs with this president? Why is it always a high-stakes battle? Why doesn't he shrewdly re-enact Ronald Reagan, meeting, arguing and negotiating in good faith with Speaker Tip O'Neill, who respected very little of what the president stood for and yet, at the end of the day and with the country in mind, could shake hands and get it done? Why is there never a sense with Mr. Obama that he understands the other guys' real position? …
The president would only benefit from showing he has the command and capability to meet, argue, press and come to agreement. It would be heartening to the country to see this, and would impress the world. And the Republicans would like to get it done. …
So they're weakened, they want this particular crisis to end, and they badly need to win entitlement reforms that would, in the end, buttress the president's historical standing—and the president isn't working with them every day and making a deal?
Thanks for the heads-up and FUP.

Thanks, Democrats: your inspired leadership has reduced America to the level of sophistication of a heartbroken teenager, wondering why Mr. Perfect isn't, while we conservatives are the three neurons off in the corner that are actually firing, that she is not yet able to listen to.
Tanks a whole bunch, and reat assured I will never forget, and I will never vote for a Democrat as long as I breathe.

I'm going to be doing something similar with Petra Němcová, a model from the Czech Republic you probably haven't heard of. Neither have I, but I was simply blown away by what a stunning specimen she is. She used to star on TLC's "A Model Life" until the network moved on to more important things (Honey Boo boo). She's a very successful model, having worked all around the world on dozens of big name campaigns including Victoria Secret. She was featured in every Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue from 2002-2006, and was the cover girl of the 2003 issue. She's also hit the covers of FHM, Cosmopolitan, Shape and Glamour magazines. So why haven't we seen so much of her as of late? Petra's last term in American television was on "Dancing With The Stars", in which she was eliminated after 5 episodes. This is exactly why the "lap dance" should qualify as an artistic dance form.

Pregnancy is a joyous time for expectant mothers. But it's also a challenging time physically and emotionally. Every mother experiences some discomfort during pregnancy. Most symptoms go away quickly or can be easily relieved. If any of these problems persist, or cannot be relieved easily, talk to your health care provider.
Fathers who understand the physical changes of pregnancy and the common discomforts are more able to help minimize them.
Half of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting during the 4th-14th week.
Possible Causes: hormone changes • low blood sugar • tension, worry and fatigue can make it worse
Relief: give yourself extra time in the morning • eat dry toast or crackers and then rest before getting out of bed • eat small, frequent meals throughout the day and aim for healthy foods high in protein or cabohydrates • keep your kitchen well ventilated and cut down on cooking time • eat a high protein snack at bedtime to relieve morning sickess due to low blood sugar • avoid rich, spicy, acidic or fried foods and eat less fat in general • though it's important to keep yourself well hydrated, try to drink fluids only between meals, and limit them during meals • sniff lemons, the smell of a cut lemon may help your nausea • try acupressure bands on your wrist; drugstores sell a cotton wristband called sea-band (help to fight seasickness and have helped many pregnant women through morning sickness) • talk to your doctor/ midwife before taking any drugs
Possible Causes: decreased physical activity • relaxation of bowel caused by hormones
Relief: drink 8-12 large glasses of water daily; water rich in antioxidants and electrolytes such as smart water or neo water help keep you hydrated longer than regular water • eat foods high in fiber (raw fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread and erelas, prunes) • add 1-2 tsp. of wheat bran to your breakfast cereal • exercise regularly • discuss laxatives with your doctor/midwife before using
Possible Causes: pressure of uterus • lack of exercise • constipation, straining • not emptying the bowel when needed
Relief: drink 8-12 large glasses of fluid daily • eat food high in fiber • add 1-2 tsp. of wheat bran to cereal • exercise regularly (including kegels) • use cold compresses or ice
Possible Causes: decreased activity of the intestines caused by enlarging uterus and hormones
Relief: Chew your food well • have only small servings of foods that cause gas eg. corn, beans, cabbage, lentils
Possible Causes: may be inherited • pressure of uterus on veins in abdomen • hormones relax walls of veins
Relief: avoid wearing clothing or stockings that are too tight on your body or legs • wear support stockings instead • exercise moderately during pregnancy; a brisk walk helps to improve circulation • elevate feet above heart level when sitting or lying down • avoid sitting with legs crossed • sleep laying on your left side to avoid increased pressure on your inferior vena cava
Possible Causes: elarged uterus pushes stomach upwards • hormones relax muscles at opening allowing digestive juices to go back up esophagus
Relief: eat small meals frequently during the day • avoid spicy and fatty foods • avoice coffee, tea, and alcoholic drinks • take fluids (soup, juice, milk) 1/2 hour after solid meals, not at the same time • avoid lying down right after meals • use pillows to raise your chest and head when you sleep • talk to your doctor/midwife or pharmacist about antacids before using
Possible Causes: breast tissue high in the armpit enlarges and puts pressure on the nerves • stooped shoulders
Relief: place hand on shoulder and make circles with your elbows • practice good posture • wear a supportive bra (80% of women wear the wrong bra or the wrong bra size). Signs of an ill-fitting bra:
- backaches
- shoulder grooves
- the back rides up
- the straps dig into your shoulders
- you have red marks on your body after you take it off
- you tug at your bra throughout the day
- you have bulges at the tops and sides of the cups
- you have bulges on your back
Possible Causes: enlarging uterus presses on the veins, slowing blood return from the legs

The usual...house training Chi help
Ok, heres my story...
We really struggled to house train our other dog from a puppy, we tried various methods but she seemed to defy them all, esp the '
puppies wont mess near where they sleep
' idea...
We bought her a crate and she literally 'messed' herself everyday, id have to bath her and clean the crate...horrible job. (there wasnt anything medically wrong either)
So we turned to the puppy pads which she caught onto, as she got older we trained her to bark at the back door and she was housetrained...although, we got her spayed at 6 months (before her 1st season) I believe doing so is a risk to incontinence and I believe perhaps this made things worse as she never to this day managed to hold her wee for long when we 'werent' there and we were also told this could be attention seeking.
When she was older we picked up with crate training again and this time it worked whilst we werent around and she learnt to hold it (the majority of the time anyway, she still sometimes had accidents!)
Now we tried everything with her, letting her out every 20 mins, etc etc she certainly had a good routine but still we couldnt leave her for long and return to a mess free house she just sometimes wouldnt wait.
I remembered when we went to collect her from the breeder the puppies were in like a 'pen' seperate from the mother and now I wonder if the breeder kept the puppies like that for some time she probably never got chance to learn to be clean off her mother?
So when we got Pixie we were a little disheartened when we read Chihuahuas are quite difficult to train? And I admit we havent been as enthusiastic with Pixie recently (8 motnhs) probably due to our exuberated experience we're almost giving up thinking we're failures! But I need to sort this..
We tried to puppy pad train Pixie, although I found this really difficult to re-position her onto a pad as opposed to bigger dogs as her wee's were so short she'd stop and I wouldnt get chance to praise her on the pad!
She didnt seem to pick up anything from our other dog barking at the door and weeing outside either.
Pixie is crated at night although I have noticed she wont hold it and WILL wee in her bed. So Ive recently started leaving the crate door open and the indoor potty out (in her own room not ours), Ive noticed she doesnt go at all UNTIL we are up/awake??? Why does she wait for me to be up to go to the toilet (on the carpet)?
Im also still having great difficulty spotting her going to the toilet inside the house, shes so quiet I turn around and its on the floor within a split second...(I never shout at her etc) so I cant practice the reinforcement!
With other dogs they do seem to have a pattern - ie after playing or after food they want to go to the toilet, Pixie 100% doesnt.. I cant predict it, and she doesnt seem to go 'that often'!? I can put her outside hoping she will then I can praise her but she just doesnt no matter how long I stand there, as I say she doesnt go that often?
The only time I can guarantee she'll wee is when we greet her, so now we have to practically ignore her to avoid her weeing whilst she jumps around (poor thing!)
Im not getting angry about it as the accidents are so small but I need to get to grips with why Ive had 2 dogs that ive failed to housetrain yet out of the people I know with dogs, Ive put in the most effort. (& funnily enough I had a dog when I was a child and my parents failed to house train her properly either, a Cocker Spaniel!)
When we collected Pixie from her breeder I noticed she was sleeping with her mum in a GIANT crate (probably the largest sized crate you can imagine!) and she was weeing in there in front of us, again this probably didnt help her learn to be clean if she was allowed to do this from the start, even her dad wee'd in her bed!
Ive had foster dogs and can manage to train my dogs to be well behaved etc but house training must be my weakness!
Any help other than the usual, or if anyone else has similar experiences with their Chi's toilet habits - most welcome

Sorry, that must be so frustraating. My dogs are trained only in the dog room with the dog door to the outside, the second they get on carpt, most of them will pee or poo. Is it possible to leash her to you, that way you will be aware where she is at all times and she won't be able to sneak off and potty. When she squats, you say loudly "NO!", pick her up and take her outside for 5 minutes. Even if she doesn't pee in those 5 minutes, bring her in and repeat. I think with you not reprimanding her at all when she potties in the house, she has no idea it's wrong. Good luck and I hope this works. Also in the morning before I pee, I take all the dogs outside first. This has really cut down on the accidents in my room, though I do have a couple of pee pads down and they use them during the night.

Oh, yeah, I can identify! Although not a Chihuahua, I am trying to re-train my granddaughter's 4-year-old Yorkie, Samantha, who did well as a young dog, but has been moved three times in less than three years and her potty training went by the wayside big time. She doesn't give any signals and is very quick, so it's almost impossible to catch her. She's been with me going on three months now and we are making some progress. She would potty in her bed, on the couch, on the carpet, on her favorite blanket, anywhere. I keep her confined closely when I can't be right with her and watch her. I try to set her up for success, small area with potty pad until she uses it, then more freedom. She has caught on and knows when she uses the potty pad she gets a great treat and gets to be loose with me and the other dogs. She is doing well, but it has been very frustrating. Have to praise, praise, praise good things and ignore bad things. Patience and persistence are the watchwords with potty training. Some days I didn't get to praise her even once, just had to hang in there and try to catch her in the act while keeping her confined. Had to be consistent and tell her gently "no, no," pick her up and put her on her potty pad and then tell her "good girl" just for being there. I have to be very gentle with Samantha. She is easily intimidated. Now she will go to her potty pad most of the time even when loose in the house, but I don't let her loose for very long and never when I can't watch her.
I've potty trained lots of puppies very successfully, but have never tackled a grown dog. We are making progress and I believe it can be done, but it doesn't happen quickly or easily.
Good luck with your furkids. I hope you have great success eventually!

It's sort of reassuring to read this! We've had problems with both our chis, though it doesn't seem as bad now as the early days, but can still be so frustrating. They are crated at night, and Honey (she's 15mths now) never messes in her crate, but Gary (10 mths) will occasionally. Our carpet is minging, and we just bought a carpet cleaner, we always have a puppy pad out, which is used a lot, but accidents - that seem more like laziness than accident - still happen.
Last week, me and hubby were sitting at the dining rom table playing a game, and Gary came and cocked his leg, weeing over hubbys slippers.... he wasn't best pleased, specially as the kitten then ran up his leg with his claws out... ouch, but very funny from where I was

So relieved to know others have suffered the same!
As some of you will know we've 'just' got a new puppy Chi (9 weeks old) and we have got her housetrained in just a couple of days!!
Shes going straight to her indoor potty or pads, phew finally one of our dogs is housetrained!
But it makes me wonder - why has she understood yet Pixie and our EBT generally dont when we're doing the same training?
I just hope Pixie will catch on too, in the meantime ive just got to stalk her around the house to hope to catch her doing it first!

My puppies trained to the pad very easy...then they hit their 'teens', 5 to 7 months, and their training went out the window. Billy and Pepper are fully house trained, after the bobble in their teens, but Smoke is another story, he will pee in the house on the carpet. I have no idea why house breaking worked for two and not for all three. All my other dogs I got older and only Lexxi is house trained from all of them, the others are still works in progress.

Wow, I feel pretty fortunate after reading these posts!
I had always heard Chihuahuas (in general) were difficult to housetrain. Everyone thought I was insane when I agreed to take on a 5 month old rescue that was an owner surrender for this very reason.
I had her housetrained in 2 weeks time. I've often wondered if sometimes we start too early with them? Before they are actually mature enough to control themselves and understand fully what we expect from them?

It's taken 104 years but New Zealand is on the cusp of its Olympic century.
The honour of winning the 100th medal, and 19th silver went to 49er class sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke overnight.
It would have gone to 1500m man Nick Willis but he dropped away in the closing stages yesterday as he sought a second Olympic medal to sit with his silver from Beijing four years ago.
There would have been a nice symmetry to that; Willis was New Zealand's flagbearer at the opening ceremony and it would have come in an event for which New Zealanders retain a special affection, courtesy of Jack Lovelock, Peter Snell and John Walker.
Race walker Harry Kerr was the first of three New Zealanders who won Olympic medals, yet will always have an asterisk against their name, if not to signify any sort of black mark.
It's just that Kerr, who was third in the 3500 metre walk in 1908, along with tennis legend Anthony Wilding and swimmer Malcolm Champion - New Zealand's first gold medallist - four years later in Stockholm, represented Australasia.
New Zealand was still in its relative infancy. It must have seemed a logical thing to do, attaching oneself to the bigger neighbour.
The list also includes New Zealand's only Winter Olympic medallist, slalom skier Annelise Coberger who until very late on sat in the gold medal position at Albertille, France 20 years ago.
Of the 100, almost half come from athletics and rowing, each having won 21 medals. Athletics was out on its own until rowing's surge in London.
The medals are spread over 12 sports and there's some curiosities. Who remembers Christchurch marksman Ian Ballinger winning the country's only shooting medal in Mexico City 44 years ago?
And before Burling and Tuke, who were New Zealand's last sailing medal winners, excluding those standing on boards?
The quest for the 10 needed to reach 100 was laid out months ago by the New Zealand Olympic Committee as the target for London.
Mark Todd and his eventing chums kicked things off at Greenwich Park last week; the outstanding rowing squad made Eton Dorney a place that will find a place in New Zealand Olympic folklore, just as Lake Casitas, outside Los Angeles, will always ring a special bell for those who were there when the canoeists shook the paddling world with four gold medals in 1984.
The cyclists and Valerie Adams collected their medals, leaving two talented young sailors to raise three figures.
Who are five Olympic medallists you should know? Read here.

GSU President Hosts Last Spring Convocation
GRAMBLING -- Grambling State University President Dr. Frank Pogue spoke at his last spring convocation on Tuesday morning.
He used it as the first of a few last opportunities to say what's on his mind and to thank those who helped him during his nearly five-years as president.
It's Dr. Pogue's fourth time retiring after 52 years in academic leadership.
"I'm excited," said Pogue, after the convocation speech. "I feel sad in a very special way."
Pogue says he faced many challenges in his five years -- such as correcting audit findings and last year's football boycott, but the biggest challenge he says, has been budget cuts.
"I have had two budget cuts every one of those five years," said Pogue. "We have spent an enormous amount of time trying to remain afloat."
Pogue said many organizations and universities face serious challenges these days. He said he doesn't have any advice yet for the next person to fill his shoes.
"He or she, will be entering one of the finest institutions in the country. it's a lot to work with here," he said.
In his nearly 30 years of teaching at GSU, faculty member Willie Daniel has watched several presidents come and go.
"He's involving individuals, throughout the communities, to get together and be committed to the future of Grambling," he said. "Through him and his philosophy of giving back, I've established an endowed scholarship in my name."
He hopes the next president shares a certain trait of Pogue's.
"The academics are going to be there, I don't have an issue with that. The skills are going to be there. But is there a special suit, a special favor of the next president to generate funds? That's what we sorely need at this university," said Daniel. "We need someone who is very strong in fundraising, from the stand of corporate dollars."
Dr. Pogue says he is moving closer to family in Delaware. He will work as a consultant with a national firm that helps univerisities hire leadership. He says he will assist in finding a new president if invited to do so.
In leaving GSU, pogue says he will miss the simple things.
"When I look out my window at grambling, I see the students and faculty walking across the campus and I see myself," he said.
GRAMBLING, La. (GSU Press Release) -- Grambling State University President Frank G. Pogue's last spring convocation is Tuesday at 11 a.m., and he's looking at it as the first of a few opportunities to say what's on his mind and to thank those who helped him during his nearly five-year stay as president.
"This will be my last spring convocation at Grambling State University, and I plan to highlight some of the many accomplishments for which I am thankful, thankful to faculty, staff, students, alumni and supporters for sticking with me and helping me get these things done," said Pogue. "I'll point to some things from a few years ago when we first started dealing with severe budget cuts and new performance expectations, and I'll remind the audience about some things they may have forgotten.
The convocation will be held in the T.H. Harris Auditorium, the place where Pogue has led spring and fall convocations each year since 2009 when he arrived as a consultant and quickly became interim president before landing the job permanently.
The spring convocation theme is "Enhancing the Academic Profile of Grambling State University," and Pogue will be the only speaker other than those providing a welcome or invocation. The university's World Famed Tiger Marching Band will play twice. Under the direction of choral director Natorshau Davis, the university choir is scheduled to perform "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing," arranged by Lloyd Pfautsch, and "Oh, What a Beautiful City," arranged by Stacey V. Gibbs.
GSU's eighth president, Pogue plans to talk about widely known accomplishments as well as some improvements that may have gone unnoticed.
"This can be considered a "State of the University" address," added Pogue, who is scheduled to retire June 30. "If anyone wants to know what specifically has been done in my nearly five years at GSU, join us at the convocation and you'll hear about many of those things -- and how I feel about Grambling State University and the many people who are committed to empowering us to enhance our academic profile."

Dealership has 2-years free oil changes, ding/dent/windshield repair for 1-year along with free car washes and some other stuff.
I got all the price and additionals in writing from the dealership manager and sales manager before I ordered it to make sure there was no misunderstandings when it comes in. Price was agreed upon with NO INCENTIVES INCLUDED since I did not know if there would be any at delivery. If there are incentives (which there should be atleast $500 if I finance through Ford and $750 if I get my private offer in time) and that will only make my agreed price even lower.
They are still making money, too.
How are they still making money if the are paying for oil changes, sirius, tint, etc?
