A DISTURBING documentary is set to expose the bizarre world of adult babies.
The fly-on-the wall programme shows fully-grown adults dressing up as babies,
having their nappies changed and being cared for as an infant.
It SHOWS adult babies attending fake nurseries in the UK and US, alongside
other adults – including their SPOUSES – who pretend to be their mums and
One adult baby, Derek, says: "When I put a nappy on it takes me back to that
time when I had no stress."
Many claim their desire to regress to an infantile-state is not sexual but
about escaping the pressures of being a grown-up.
Derek adds: "As soon as you mention adult baby, they all think it's something
to do with children and it's, you know, paedophiles.
"We don't want to be with children. We want to be the child."
In the trailer for the Channel 4 film – entitled The 15-Stone Babies – the
wife of an adult baby says: "I think in most wives there is a bit of a
mother bond with her husband."
Another woman is seen showing the camera crew around her play rooms, stuffed
full of oversized toys and objects.
When asked how old she is today, she replies: "Um, I don't know. Daddy might
The film reveals how adult babies are now connecting through social media,
with one claiming there must be "a good 200,000 to 500,000 maybe in just in
the US and the UK".
Others admit their strange fetish makes them feel lonely and alienated from
One male adult baby says: "They just think I'm weird and a freak and never
want to talk to me again."

With the start of the summer transfer window drawing ever closer, the clubs are constantly making moves behind the scenes.
Last year, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho acted fast in the summer window and the 51-year-old has reaped the rewards this season. Arguably the most influential additions Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa arrived at Stamford Bridge by mid-July but the Portuguese manager would've been drawing up plans months in advance. And the Special One has already bagged one signing.
But it's Manchester United who have made the biggest signing so far with the acquisition of Memphis Depay, with the Dutch star having completed his medical earlier this week.
The Evening Standard broke the news that Raheem Sterling will 'definitely' quit Liverpool this summer. The player's agent, Aidy Ward, said an offer of £900,000-a-week would not keep the England star at Liverpool, who have since rejected an opening bid from Manchester City.
Juventus are said to be readying a £30 million offer for Chelsea's Oscar, Manchester United have made Atletico Madrid's Mario Manzukic their number one target, while new West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is ready to splash the cash at Chelsea and Barcelona.
Elsewhere, Manchester United lead the race for Gonzalo Higuain as Van Gaal hopes to resurrect Marquinhos, while the club have been given hope in signing Ilkay Gundagon.
Slaven Bilic is hoping to use his Besiktas connections to bring Demba Ba back to West Ham, as Chelsea warn Real Madrid that Thibaut Courtois will cost £75 million.
Thursday's bombshell originates from France, with reports suggesting that Falcao could snub Chelsea in favour of a move to Liverpool, leaving Mourinho to consider a move for Charlie Austin. Stunning.
On Friday we heard Liverpool are stepping up their pursuit of Falcao, while new West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has set his sights on Loic Remy and Esteban Cambiasso.
Meanwhile, Manchester United will test Tottenham's resolve over Harry Kane as Arsenal plot an £18 million raid on Juventus youngster Daniele Rugani.
But what's in store today?
The latest news is that Arsenal have made progress in their move for Chelsea's Petr Cech, Falcao is closing in on Blues move and Mats Hummels is now considering leaving Borussia Dortmund.
Keeping up so far? Here's the latest!

Trauma warnings move from Internet to Ivory Tower
By Lisa Leff, AP Monday, April 28, 2014, 12:05 am TWN
San Francisco -- It seemed like a modest proposal, or so thought Bailey Loverin, a literature major at the University of California, Santa Barbara: what if professors were prodded to give students a written or oral heads-up before covering graphic material that could cause flashbacks in those who had been sexually assaulted, survived war or suffered other traumas?
The idea proved popular with Loverin's classmates. Student government leaders at UCSB endorsed it. Faculty at other schools, editorial writers and online pundits had a different reaction, calling it "silly," "antithetical to college life" and reflective of "a wider cultural hypersensitivity to harm."
"What I have heard from a lot of people who don't fully understand the issue is, 'Life is life. You are going to get your feelings hurt and you should just suck it up and meet it head-on,'" Loverin, 19, said. "But a girl just raped a month ago and sitting in a classroom for the first time again isn't ready to face that head-on."
The uproar over her "Resolution to Mandate Warnings for Triggering Content in Academic Settings" has called public attention to the use on college campuses of "trigger warnings," a grassroots phenomenon that had spread quietly from the Internet to the Ivory Tower.
This year, the University of Michigan, Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, Oberlin in Ohio, Rutgers in New Jersey, Scripps in California and Wellesley in Massachusetts all have fielded requests from students seeking more thoughtful treatment of potentially troubling readings, films, lectures and works of art.
Trigger warnings are advisories often written in bold type and affixed to a post, tweet, YouTube video or increasingly, a class syllabus. Long a feature of feminist web sites and originally used to warn rape and abuse survivors, they are designed to give people who might be negatively affected a chance to opt out.
The topics students are asking to be cautioned about cover a broad swath of human suffering.
At Michigan, speakers at an English Department event on bias said trigger warnings were needed for racially offensive book passages. The UCSB student resolution suggests they are appropriate for portrayals and discussions involving "rape, sexual assault, abuse, self-injurious behavior, suicide, graphic violence, pornography, kidnapping, and graphic depictions of gore."
"Classrooms have always been spaces where difficult, traumatic stuff got dealt with," said Angus Johnston, an associate professor at Hostos Community College in the Bronx, New York, and historian of student activism. "What's different now is, partly as a result of this new ethos in the online world of trigger warnings, you are seeing people being willing to assert themselves and say, 'My emotional well-being does matter.'"

Christina Aguilera's Beverly Hills Bandage Night Out
Spending a night together, Christina Aguilera and Matt Rutler were spotted out and about in Beverly Hills, CA on Friday night (June 1).
Looking absolutely flawless, the 31-year-old rocked a teal Herve Leger bandage dress, black leather jacket and yellow heels as she walked hand-in-hand with her "Burlesque" set assistant boyfriend.
The pair had quite the eventful evening as they started off by grabbing dinner at "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant Sur before heading out to the Roxbury Nightclub and ending their evening at the Roosevelt Hotel.
In other news, it looks like the blonde bombshell might not be the biggest fan of her former Mouseketeer Britney Spears' newest gig. As previously reported by GossipCenter, the "Circus" songstress was recently added on as one of the newest judges on "The X Factor," but according to a recent article put out by Star magazine a source says Aguilera was not happy when she heard the news.
According to the so-called insider, when "The Voice" judge saw a TV announcement about Britney's newest job she "was throwing things and cursing," adding that she thought Miss Spears "acted like a zombie" and was "going to be a disaster" as a judge.
However, a friend of the "Dirty" songstress says the story is "totally not true" and also added, "She is very happy for Britney."

Lovely Van Ride and Fancy Coffee Machine
Pre-workshop Mix and Mingle
Introduction and Welcome
We received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from both Dr. Eric Green, the Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, and Karen Rothenberg, J.D., M.P.A., the Senior Advisor on Genomics and Society to the Director, National Human Genome Research Institute. Karen reiterate our reason for coming together:
"The purpose of this workshop is to generate dialogue about the intersection of science and the theatrical arts among participants with interest and expertise in science, medicine, bioethics, policy, education and the theatrical arts. The workshop will also seek to stimulate a community of playwrights and theatre professionals interested in engaging with scientists to encourage public discourse on issues related to biomedical research and genomics."
As part of preparation, Karen shared a chapter from her book, The Drama of DNA: Narrative Genomics, which she co-authored with Lynn Bush. As with this workshop, the book explores the intersection of drama, genetics, genomics and bioethics.
Panel 1: Uncovering the Drama in Science
Karen asked each of the playwrights to speak about what had inspired their plays and how they went about the process of learning the science.
Panel 2: Real‐life Drama and the Future of Genomics
As the scientists shared some of their most intriguing case studies, I sat with my mouth agape. They were mindful and obliged to keep patient confidentiality, but shared enough about psychological conditions and medical circumstances for us to understand the ethical dilemmas that many scientists and clinicians face. I couldn't take notes fast enough and saw the my theatre colleagues were deeply affected as well.
Selfishly, I decided to take art in this workshop because my new play, Among These Wild Things, addresses science, religion, and art. The lead character, Jesse Lee, is agnostic and a geneticist, whose research is centered on identity, race and genetic variation. She's married to Nigel, an art historian, who recommits to his Jewish faith after the loss of his grandfather. Once he does, their marriage is put to the test. I knew this workshop would help me understand Jesse's world better and I'm thrilled to announce that I'll working with Vence Bonham to learn even more.
- Part of the allure of science has to do with discovery, seeing something for the first time, something that has never before been seen.
- Also, being able to see something so small or far away, and even extend your power of sight into even the future of things that will happen.
- Working with patients, there is a strong desire to understand what is happening with their health. The unknown is frightening. Patients lose credibility with family, friends, colleagues, and other doctors when they are unable to identify their illness.
- Equally, they are many who simply do not want to know what is happening to them. At times, this can cause an ethical dilemma. If a family member has a genetic illness, but does not want to know or chooses not to tell anyone else in their family, geneticists have to decide whether or not to intervene, and how to do so ethically.
- It was also interesting to learn that many cultural, family, and religious beliefs are often barriers to understanding the root cause of an illness. If people believe that illness is caused not by genetics, but by sinful behavior, then geneticists have to determine how to establish credibility against such deeply firm beliefs and traditions and share information that may be life saving.
Discussion: Fostering a Dialogue between the Arts and Sciences
We talked about possible commissions and ways that scientists could participate in community engagement initiatives related to productions. We shared how working with scientists early in the writing and rehearsal process was beneficial to theatre artists. Someone suggested possible embedded residencies in science labs or observing clinician during consultations. We even addressed the need to make room for conflict. Meaning, while the artists could certainly help get information out to the public about new discoveries and advances, there must also be room to dramatize the emotional and ethical push back. While organizationally this may prove challenging (and would in any discipline), therein lies the drama of the human condition that we're all interested in exploring.
All in all, it was a worthwhile and invigorating experience. I was delighted to learn that this would be the first of many collaborations. Theatre has a long history of addressing social, political, and cultural issues. The sciences—especially the intricate, rich, deeply personal, and ethical complexities of genomics and genetics—have an enormous impact our everyday lives. When theatre artists and scientists work together, we can open up, clarify, and engage with scientific literacy, which may not be understood by society at large. Doing so will not only break down the barriers that often exist between scientists and the public, but also encourage learning and curiosity. It is the hope of many in the room that by having a greater understanding of the role and impact of genomics on human biology, we can improve our health and medical practices.
"The discussion overall was really intriguing; but what captured my interest was a statement made by William Gahl, who is also the Director of Undiagnosed Diseases at NIH. He said that a patient without a diagnosis has no credibility -- not only with coworkers, friends and family, but also with the medical establishment. He told the story of a woman with an undiagnosed ailment that affected her in strange, horrible ways. One weekend she stubbed her toe. Because of her condition this minor accident led to fatal consequences. She called her primary care doctor on a Saturday to report the problem, and he essentially said "take two aspirin and call me on Monday." By Monday she was septic, and she died.
It hit me that this lack of credibility she suffered was also with herself--because she didn't reject the doctor's counsel and go straight to the emergency room. Even though her experience to that point would have suggested she probably should have. She tried self-care, which was a fatal error.
And it strike me now how badly we need answers in this culture. When we don't have them, we when can't find them in medicine, we categorize the sick person as a crank, a crazy, a hypochondriac. But in reality, modern medicine is often at a loss -- there are strange conditions and ailments that affect people, and there are no answers. No one can figure it out. And it's a great tragedy that so many people have to suffer needlessly in order for the rest of us to maintain what is really a self-delusion---that there are always answers to be had. That science has everything under control.
It doesn't."
The Drama of DNA: Genomics in Performance
"Spending the morning at the NIH speaking with some of the world's leading scientific minds; and then the afternoon rehearsing these wonderfully detailed and layered scenes (with the gift of having the playwrights in the room) was an honor and a treat," Serostky said. "My father has been a science educator for over forty years. The passion he has for science in no small way inspired the passion I have for theater. These two communities can intersect and overlap in meaningful and productive ways."

How to set up a homework station
Nicole Avery from Planning with Kids shows us how to set up an efficient homework station. A homework station motivates kids to get it done!
Currently in our home we have one main homework station. The older kids predominately use it, but at times the younger ones do too, so we need a set up that works easily for multiple users of varying ages.
To set up a homework station you need to keep in mind how many kids will be using it and what homework will be completed in the area. For us, a key requirement of the homework station was for it to be out in the open and close to the main rooms of the house. The reasons for this were two fold:
- The younger children often still need parental guidance with their homework
- And for the older children, the temptation of surfing the internet when they should be doing homework is much less if mum and dad are close by.
With multiple users having to share the space, we also needed a way for the kids to store homework they were working on but yet to complete. For this purpose we have a KEJI 5 Drawer Desktop File which allows each child to have a safe place to store works in progress and other items they like to use for homework.
The kids have other bigger items they use for homework as well, so to prevent piles of books covering all the workspace on the desk we have a simple magazine file to store homework exercise books and notebooks.
While the children do have their own individual school stationery, we keep a communal caddy with a set of stationery on the desk. I wish I could say that the caddy is always this full, but alas that is not the case. A tip for those new to homework is to not only buy stationery items for school, but take advantage of the back to school sales and stock up on the essentials for home as you will certainly need them throughout the year!
We recently purchased a retractable mouse which has been fantastic for keeping the homework area neater and it is much easier for the kids to use.
The pin board at the moment is uncluttered as we are in the back-to-school phase, but it is used much more once the kids start getting their homework assignments, exam timetables and important dates.
Posted on it at the moment are:
- a quote chosen by me – I aim for something a little inspiring and that will reflect my philosophy on education.
- the homework schedule for one of the primary school kids – this was created by him and he scheduled out how he could fit in his homework requirements around his after-school activities. The first few times he did this, I helped him, but both he and the 10 year old create themselves a new homework schedule at the start of each term to help them keep up to date.
- the to do list for one of the secondary school kids – it outlines what he is required to do before he starts playing on the internet of an evening. Simple things like finish his homework, tidy the desk, get his bag ready for the next day, etc.
Combined with technology items like the computer, USB hub and chargers, this is what our homework station looks like. Being such a high use area, we try to keep what is on the desk to a minimum, so the kids can have a clear space to work at.

Kid Loki
from Journey into Mystery and Young Avengers - headpiece, tunic, gloves and boots
Links to picture(s) of your commissioned item:
Timeline (how long your order took to process):
My deadline was San Diego Comic Con
Mar 1. I e-mailed Nic asking for a quote.
Mar 2. Nic asked me to clarify which items I needed and my estimated budget. I replied with my estimated budget and that I wanted the tunic, headpiece, gloves and boots.
Mar 3. Nic gave me a price breakdown of all the pieces ($220 for tunic and gloves; $180 for headpiece; $150 for boots - $550 total). I agreed to the price and sent him a 60% deposit upfront. He sends me his measurement sheet once he receives the payment.
Mar 4. I send Nic the measurement sheet.
Mar 17. Nic asks me for my head circumference (the measurement was not listed in the original sheet).
Mar 18. I reply with my head circumference.
Apr 5. Nic sends me a picture of the completed headpiece.
May 3. Nic sends me a picture of the tunic and gloves, and he tells me that the boots will be ready in a week. I requested to have some black dots added to it, and offer to pay extra for the materials and extra labor. He has me clarify what dots I am referring to.
May 4. Nic quotes me to have the dots added to the tunic ($20), and I pay for the dots as well as the second half of the payment.
May 9. Nic lets me know that he added the dots to the tunic.
May 12. I receive a picture of the boots from Nic and I am quoted for shipping. I pay for the shipping the same day.
May 14. According to the USPS website, this is when the day the package was accepted.
May 23. The package arrives, though I technically do not get it until the next day because no one was around to sign for it the first time.
Whenever I e-mailed Nic, I always received a fast response. Usually the same day or the next day.
The cosplay was completed very quickly. I was able to wear it at a different convention so this makes me very happy. ^_^ The gold lining on the tunic is very lovely, and it seems I could wear this on a daily basis if I wanted to. One side of the circular piece is attached with velcro, and you can open this to have access to the zipper. Neat!
Another commissioner had trouble with the gloves fitting her, but the gloves seemed to fit me rather fine. The boots are very durable as well, so you could walk around in these for a very long time if you wanted to.
I had a phone conversation with my mother who told me that maybe I should wear a jacket whenever I'm outside a convention setting so that I wouldn't embarrass her. -_- But she was so excited to take my picture when I actually got it, haha. So, that's something! :-)
The headpiece was beautiful and so solidly constructed, but, unfortunately, it did not fit my head at all. I gave a measurement of 56.5 cm, and I measured the headband of the piece to be approximately 48 cm. If you see the pictures, you could see that it was open in the back, most likely so it could stretch to compensate for a larger head size. However, the material the band was made of was very inflexible so this did not work out.
Even if the headpiece was bigger, it still would probably not fit because the larger issue was its shape: it was completely circular. It seemed to me that the band should have been more of an oval, not a circle (or at least make the band out of something more flexible). I even tried it on a styrofoam head with a slightly smaller head circumference, and the headpiece would not sit on it properly. I ended up having to deconstruct the headpiece to replace the band with something more flexible. The headpiece was $180 by itself, so this was pretty disappointing.
Also, the dots on the gold trim all fell off. :-( Which is a bummer because I paid extra for them.
Despite this, I was overall pleased with how things turned out.
Like some other people have mentioned, he tends not to send progress pictures but only pictures of completed work. Personally, this did not bother me because I feel that commissioners should be given some space to do their work without someone hovering over their shoulder all the time. But others may feel differently on this matter.
He has you pay the Paypal fees (Paypal states that the buyer should not pay the fees). Also, this does not bother me but may be an issue with others.
Also, on the measurement sheet, it does mention to measure with your undergarments. I would say this also includes socks which I did not do. The boots were a tad too snug and this may have been avoided if I measured my feet with my socks on.
Keep in mind that Nic works from China, so, if you live outside of China, your package may have to go a long ways. Fragile things may risk breaking no matter how well it is packed. Part of my headpiece broke in the mail, but he did wrap this piece in a lot of plastic, then wrapped it in the cosplay clothes which was additionally wrapped in bubble wrap. I had such a hard time taking it apart that it made me wonder if the post threw the thing against a brick wall. o_O

I'm going to call this one either gang initiation or mistaken identity where the girls were using a target's vehicle;BY ADAM H. BEASLEY email@example.com
Two young women whose car was riddled with bullets overnight, leaving both in critical condition, have been identified b Miami-Dade police.
The women -- Oneida Cano, 20, and Marian Zorrilla, 17 -- were airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
''They are critical but it is believed that they are going to pull through,'' said Detective Mario Rachid, a Miami-Dade police spokesman.
Nine shots were reportedly fired in the Fontainebleu Park neighborhood -- with five hitting one occupant. The other female was hit once in the face. The victims were still in their car when police arrived.
The shooting happened about 2 a.m.
Two women traveling in this black Mazda are in critical condition after unknown shooters riddled the car with bullets in West Miami-Dade on Wednesday night.
The amubush took place at 10155 NW Ninth St. Cir., just north of Fontainebleau Boulevard. It is in Fontainebleau Park, a 1970s high-density subdivision of winding roads dotted by two-, three- and four-story apartment buildings and condos between Northwest 87th and 107th avenues north of Flagler.
Authorities ask anyone with information to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).
Miami Herald reporter David Ovalle contributed to this report.

I was wrong, just another lover's quarrel.WEST MIAMI-DADE
2 held in drive-by shooting
Two buddies confessed to plotting to kill two young women in West Miami-Dade, police said.
Two pals face charges they stalked and gravely wounded two young women in a drive-by shooting in Fontainebleau.
Nianthony Martinez, 20, and Angel Emilio Gamez Jr., 21, were charged with attempted first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Neither man has a criminal history. Both described themselves as college students. Both confessed to the murder plot, Miami-Dade police say.
Oneida Cano, 20, and passenger Marian Zorrilla, 17, were wounded Thursday morning when someone in a passing car peppered their black Mazda with gunfire.
Martinez had dated Zorilla, but their relationship had ended. Her new romance was Cano, police said. ''He couldn't accept the fact that she had a new friend,'' said Miami-Dade Detective Mario Rachid, a spokesman.
A call placed to the Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers tip line helped detectives crack the case, police said.
The women were shot about 2 a.m. on the road outside 10155 NW Ninth Street Cir., just north of Fontainebleau Boulevard.
Both women were airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Shot about five or six times in the stomach, Cano is recovering at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Zorrilla, shot through the left cheek, was released Friday.
Martinez and Gamez had been ''planning [Zorrilla's] demise for awhile,'' according to a Miami-Dade arrest report.
Police said that on Wednesday night into early Thursday, Gamez drove Martinez around as they hunted their prey. Martinez wielded his buddy's 9mm handgun.
They conducted a surveillance on Cano at her job. The pair followed the car but lost it. They found her again on Northwest Ninth Street Circle, along a quiet strip of gated condos, police said.
Martinez confessed to ''putting on latex gloves, a hoodie and loading a 9mm firearm,'' a police report said. He peppered the Mazda with bullets, police said.
Martinez, a Miami Dade College student, is from West Miami-Dade. Gamez, also of West Miami-Dade, lives about three miles from where the women were shot.
Gamez graduated in 2005 from Coral Park Senior High, where he was a member of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps and drill team.
He had attended Florida International University, where he had joined the fraternity Sigma Alpha Mu. His frat nickname: ``Squidward.''
But Gamez had dropped his affiliation with the fraternity about a year ago, said FIU senior Danilo Cabrera, the president.
''He's not really an active brother,'' Cabrera said.
Gamez had recently taken a job as a Florida Power & Light customer service rep.

I knew both Angel and Nianthony. We Used to LARP (Live Action Role-Play) together at tropical park. I flipped out when I heard of this. Sometimes you think you know people but the reality is that you don't. Nianthony even had a crush on me and wanted to date me. I have letters he sent me when I was in the military. This world is pretty crazy. You gotta watch out with who you hang out with and talk to.

Bookstore | NONFICTION | NATURE
An injured fledgling crow literally dropped into our lives. While pondering the responsibility and effort to raise it, son Tim asked the simple yet pointed question "What do you have to do anyway?" He was right and the answer will be found in this book that really just happened because of the crow, Shadow. As we reared him to adulthood and eventual return to the wild, our neighbor Mike proclaimed it: The Summer of Shadow.
This true story took place at our home atop a Missouri Ozark ridge not far from St. Louis. The experience provided the opportunity for us to share with others the nature of this remarkable bird. Married to wife, Dot for more than fifty years with five children and four grandchildren. Interests include wildlife rehabilitation, fishing and camping. Favorite pastimes would include spending time with old friends and music. A Research Fellow of ASCAR, American Society of Crows and Ravens; a Media Contributor to Crows.net.
"That evening Shadow was not inclined to fly to the roof to seek a roost due to his drooping or re-sprained wing, so we resurrected his intermediate cage and placed it on the ledge of the front bedroom bay window where he spent the night in safety."

text: At least in Indiana if there is shared office space it would be legal to carry there. I don't know if your state allows campus carry, but it is legal here. Just because a federal office is in the building does not make the entire building a federal building so it would be legal to carry up to the point of the threshold of the ATF office. Just do not enter as you are now on federal ground. Unless the building is being rented by the federal government, how would that affect things if the ATF space was being rented and did not actually belong to them?

Happy 5th Birthday To My Aiden!!
This adorable boy, Aiden, just happens to be the baby I gave birth to 5 years ago today!
He is everything I could have ever asked to chase around all day! ALL BOY. ALL LIGHTNING! ALL FIREWORKS, ALL THE TIME!! Not to mention, such a great caring and loving son and brother. He loves his sisters as much as he loves his Angry Birds toys... really!
Happy Birthday, Aiden. I can't wait to celebrate with you today and this weekend at Disneyland, and NOW (if you were listening this morning you know this story) on Sunday with all your friends! It will be ALL ABOUT YOU. As it should be.
I love you,

We don't know what's going on, but after decades of British musicians trying and more often than not failing to crack America with their music, over the last year our homegrown acts seem to be achieving phenomenal success in the US.
The latest in a long line of UK stars to make their attempt at cracking the US charts is X Factor girl group Little Mix and early indications suggest the ladies are going to be huge.
We have loved Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh Anne Pinnock ever since Tulisa put them together on the ITV show back in 2011 and we have always hoped the ladies would go on to conquer the world, One Direction style.
They seem set to do just that, as the group have just released their first single across the Atlantic and it seems to be going down very well indeed.
The song which topped the UK single charts when it was released here last summer is climbing the charts in America and Canada quite swiftly and as we speak, it's sitting at 55 and 27 in the US and Canadian iTunes charts respectively.
The girls haven't even done any promotion work on the record yet, as they're pretty tied up with their UK tour, so we can only imagine what a sales boost they receive when they skip across the pond to make their personal appearances and give their countless promo interviews.
Jade recently admitted that she hates competing with One Direction, but we don't think the lovely ladies have anything to worry about. It seems that al things BRIT are pretty darn cool in the States right now.
As well as Little Mix and 1D, The Saturdays have their own US reality TV show Chasing The Saturdays airing at the minute and recently released their new single What About Us to American audiences.
Don't forget that The Wanted just confirmed that they will also be launching their own series on E! in America this June, which will see them making their third album in LA.
Little Mix released their third single 'Change Your Life' in the UK this week and in Wednesday's mid week chart figures, it was revealed that the song was sitting at number 12. The official chart positions will be revealed this Sunday evening.
Listen to the song and leave your comments below…. Are you proud of the girls? Let us know!

Dai Young today challenged London Wasps to bounce back and push for a Heineken Cup spot by defeating Worcester on Friday night.
Having looked tired while losing 30-19 to London Irish on Sunday, Wasps must rediscover their true form in just five days and Young has tailored training this week to deal with the short turnaround.
The loss ended a five-game winning run in the Premiership and saw Wasps drop one place in the table to fifth.
A top-six spot will guarantee a place in next season's Heineken Cup and, despite last week's defeat, Wasps head to Sixways with a seven-point cushion over seventh-placed Bath.
Young wants his players to register at least three wins from their remaining six games as they chase a place in Europe's top club competition.
"The initial goal was to have a solid season but now we want to finish in the top six," he said.
"Worcester will be very tough and having looked a bit jaded against Irish we realise we have to get back to our previous level. The last thing we want to do is let it slip."
Having endured an horrendous run of injuries last season, the ownership saga and narrowly avoiding relegation, Young is used to dealing with pressure.
Now, with a new investor, a stronger squad and an Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final with Leinster on April 5, the former Lions and Wasps prop has every reason to remain upbeat.
Young said: "I have been at the club for 18 months and at times it has felt as if I've been here forever. It has taken a lot of hard work by everyone at Wasps and we are in a far better position than a year ago.
"Of course, there were times when I sat down last season and felt things were just conspiring against us and some things were out of our control.
"We just had to battle on and I was always convinced if we could just hang on then things would improve this season. We have exceeded expectations at this moment in time but there is still a long way to go.
"The really pleasing thing about last season was the spirit at the club because if anything could have gone wrong then it did, but we weren't an unhappy camp — despite the double whammys.
"Things could have quite easily crumbled and that spirit gave me a lot confidence coming into this season. One things is for certain, it's never going to get as bad as that again!"
The rise of 21-year-old Joe Launchbury from rookie lock last season to England second row has given everyone at the club a massive lift. Furthermore, this season has also seen the emergence of Christian Wade and Elliot Daly as potential internationals and they have helped the club move up the Premiership.
Meanwhile, London Irish No8 Chris Hala'Ufia has been suspended for two weeks for striking Wasps hooker Rhys Thomas in Sunday's match.
Hala'Ufia was given the punishment at a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing and cannot play again until March 12.

CNNF MVUM Update September, 2009
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is currently working on their first revision of the MVUM. The MVUM displays those roads and trails that are available for public motor vehicle use. The MVUM is available on their website at: Motor Vehicle Use Maps for the Chequamegon-Nicolet. Hard copies are also available at no charge at Forest Service offices.
The MVUM is updated annually, with the next update to be available in March of 2010. The Forest Service is currently accepting requests for changes (both additional trails and possible closures) to the MVUM. The comment deadline is November 30th, 2009. Requests need to be extremely specific. General requests for more or additional trails are of no value. Forest Service Route Numbers and specific map locations must be included along with your requests. Both the Forest Service and WOHVA are available to assist users in obtaining this information.
Currently, the Forest Service has received only a small handful of MVUM change requests. It's disappointing that more Forest users have not come forward with requests for additional roads, trails and routes. Remember, for your favorite routes to be included on the MVUM you have to ask. The world is run by those who get involved.
To be added to the mailing list to receive updates on this Travel Management Project, mail your request to: Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Travel Management Project Mailing List, 1170 4th Avenue South, Park Falls, WI, 54552. If you're a current WOHVA member you need do nothing. WOHVA has supplied your information to the Forest Service and requested they add you to both the SOPA and Travel Management Project mailing lists.
Representatives from the U.S. Forest Service will be available at the 6th Annual Wisconsin Off-Highway Vehicle Association OHV Enthusiasts Workshops (April 16th, 17th & 18th, 2010) to debut the latest version on the MVUM and answer questions about the MVUM process, the Travel Management Rule and others issues of concern to OHV enthusiasts. Be sure to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity.
ok well one problem i'v notices on this is that theirs not a big enough following and or general knowledge of the trails
"Remember, join and advocate (that's) the two most important things that you can do", to quote my friend Del Albright from the BlueRibbon Coalition.
The easiest way to become & remain informed is to join your local 4WD club and support your state and national organizations.
i agree but theirs not any marketing or adds about events or anything around here anyway that might be a good idea to further get people involved

The Windows Key, also called WinKey for short is most often used to launch the Windows Start Menu. However, did you know that it can perform a lot of other functions when pressed in combination with other keys?
Here are some useful Winkey combinations that you might find useful (in the list below "Win +" means "press the Windows key along with…"):
- Win + E: Run Windows Explorer
- Win + R: Show Run window
- Win + U: Run Utility Manager
- Win + D: Show Desktop (by minimizing all windows, press this combination again to restore them)
- Win + F: Run Windows Search
- Win + L: Log out from Windows
- Win + B: Go to Windows taskbar notification area
- Win + M: Minimize All Windows
By using suitable Winkey combinations, you can save a lot of time and be more efficient when using Windows. For example, if you need to look for certain files or shortcuts on your desktop, you can just press Win + D to minimize all windows and gain quick access to the desktop.
Sure beats minimizing twenty windows manually, right 😉

I've heard some in here use the NILIF ( nothing in life is free ) approach. I incorporate it as well at times.
"Dogs want good stuff. If the only way to get it is to do what you ask, they'll do it.
Good leadership encourages good behavior by providing the guidance and boundaries dogs need.
Practicing "Nothing in Life is Free" gently and effectively communicates to your dog that you are the leader because you control all the resources."
Besides the obvious benefit of controlling resources....leadership, IMHO..goes well beyond controlling the resources. Too many times, I have seen my wife "ask" the dog...coupled with a wishful hope that the dog will mind her....it's amusing to watch at times but she doesn't care much for my chuckles. I also believe setting a dog up for success rather than failure has great merit to it..especially in the beginning learning phases. Patience to me, means...waiting for the best moment to get the desired result rather than giving a command and hoping for a good result.
I recall with the jumping as a pup routine ...I would greet my pup with a high value treat in hand and made sure she saw it before having the chance to jump up on me....if she jumped up on me, I would verbally mark with a "NO"....leave the kennel ( with treat in hand ) and try again in a minute or so. In the beginning, I'll bet the dog didn't get it's treat barely 1 out of 10 times....but patience....patience. 1 out of 10 times became 2 out 10 and so on over a short time span..until the dog was no longer a jumper. I also put an emphasis on the down/wait training and utilized that in conjunction with treating for not jumping on me.
Lots of different dogs out there and I assume what worked for me most likely will not work for others....but patience, proper expectations, confidence and leadership most always win the day.
Oh, I appreciate your weather situation as I live in MN.....however the first day of spring was wonderful today!

Life Balance
5 Tips to Being in BALANCE
Do you have to complete things, just to get them out of "the way" and find yourself just grinning and bearing rather than enjoying things?
Do you always find yourself running like a motor that can never be turned off?
Are you off -balance, teetering on the tightrope of your daily life, but you still haven't learned to give yourself a plank instead of a tightrope to walk on? If you feel like you are about to fall off, you are not in balance!
Do you tell yourself, "I will get there," but you never do get there, because there is always some other excuse for not balancing your life?
If the answer is "yes to any of these, Stop and take time for yourself! Not next week, not tomorrow, but daily! Here's how:
- Take as little as 15 minute a day, and slowly increase over time, to focus on quieting your mind and settling yourself, which means no work, no cell phone, no checking emails, no catch up phone calls…just time to breathe, calm reserve, just time for quieting the mind.
- Asking yourself during this time "What is it that I need to replenish myself? What am I avoiding by stopping and slowing down? Do I have fears that keep me going and doing more, fears that I am not good enough or others will get ahead if I slow down. These are irrational thoughts that keep us from doing things that make us become a more holistic person,complete person!
- Begin today, and everyday, by saying to yourself "I will learn to allow myself time to think about what I can do for myself each day that gives me the feeling that I am taking care of myself."
- For each of us incorporating less into our daily hectic lives free up time to spend with our loved ones, including our most beloved – ourselves! We can't be there for others if we are not fully there ourselves.
- Remind yourself you are a human being and not a "human doing." Decide how you want to divide your time rather than have time divide you!

One of my (many) pet peeves is when I get an email from a co-worker and it has LOL or some other ridiculous nonsensical slang or text term. It grates on my nerves! This afternoon my boss called me into his office to ask me what "samesies" meant. I looked at him with a tilted head, put my hands on my hips and replied "huh?" with an extremely confused look on my face. He proceeded "S - A- M - E - S - I - E - S." I had to google it. Has Urban Dictionary replaced Merriam Webster and no one told me about it? WTF?!?!?!
In case you are wondering according to Urban Dictionary "samesies" is "a cooler way of saying 'me too'. Usually used when trying to sound lame in order to get a laugh out of the person you are trying to impress. Also used by dudebroze." "Dudebroze?" HUH?
You may want to bookmark Urban Dictionary.

Barrick scraps co-president structure in management shuffle
By Euan Rocha
TORONTO (Reuters) - Barrick Gold Corp said on Monday that Jim Gowans, a veteran miner and one of its co-presidents, was retiring and that he would not be replaced, as the miner moves to thin out its ranks and create a leaner operating structure.
In the latest reshuffle, Kelvin Dushnisky, who has served as co-president with Gowans for a year, has been named as president and will continue to report to Executive Chair John Thornton, a former Goldman Sachs executive.
Toronto-based Barrick said Gowans would step down as co-president immediately, but stay on as an adviser to the chairman until he retires at the end of the year.
Analysts said the exit of Gowans, who has four decades of industry experience, leaves a void of first-hand mining know-how in Barrick's senior ranks.
"The loss of a senior executive with the mining experience of Jim Gowans does reduce the 'bench strength' of the overall management team," noted Barclays analyst Farooq Hamed in a note to clients on Monday.
Barrick said the move is a continuation of its strategy of putting more responsibility in the hands of its mine managers.
"As we become leaner, more efficient and more keenly focused on a smaller number of core assets, we're empowering our leaders in the field to function as true business owners," said Thornton in a statement.
Dushnisky joined Barrick in 2002 and served as co-president with Gowans for a year, prior to that he headed the company's government relations, investor relations and communications. Continued...

This is a discussion on Moles within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; So its getting warmer and i havce been surveying the yard, and I think I have a huge mole population. My backyard looks like it ...
So its getting warmer and i havce been surveying the yard, and I think I have a huge mole population. My backyard looks like it has scads of large anthills ( we are talking 1 foot in diameter and 3-6 inches high) all over it, and they come up every day. I have a sizeable yard to cover (1-2 acres) and I need to deal with these critters with extreme prejudice. I have dogs that walk and play in the yard, they are not allowed to run free except in supervised fetch with a tennis ball. While over a few beers the discussion has wandered to shotguns, probably not the best idea
Any suggestions? With the dogs the mole traps probably are not agood idea. Anyone use those poisned worms?
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
Moth balls dropped into their holes (let me correct that, into their burrows) will eventually chase them away. You must be dilligent though, everytime you see a new hole, treat it.

Your "problem" is not with the lowly Mole. They are so tiny, they would not even be noticed
You have a problem with the Meadow Vole, A mouse-like critter that can breed like crazy and they dig those tunnels you see.
Hard to get rid of, but they have a long list of predators that find them extremely edible, cats being one of them.
Good luck dealing with them.

These have worked well for us. Don't see how it would harm a dog either...our didn't even give it a sniff.
How does a mole trap work? | How to kill moles
Here in Texas the mounds are made by gophers, the moles burrow shallow tunnels. There are poison pellets you can drop in both and cover up, get it from feed store.

jack russells or parsons for those who are politically correct love to hunt stuff like that, moles, voles, gophers ect. my dad use to always walk around chewing gum and putting that in in their burrows. seems to work for us.
Please do not use edible poison of any type. If the dogs ingest it they could well die, if they ingest a dead vole, mole, gopher they could well die then.
I have successfully used the poison gas bombs, which are very controllable and thus safer for pets.
I have another alternative I'll find the link to and post....................A very fun alternative...........
Here it is.....just looks FUN!

Who says you can't build a better mouse trap? That rodenator is awsome!
I think the moles are in your yard because that's where the food source is. Moles eat grubs. Peel back a few square feet of sod, a couple inches deep, and see if you have grubs. If you treat to kill the grubs then the moles will leave. Another pest that likes grubs are armadillos and skunks, and they will root the grass up and make a mess.
My parents have the same problem with gophers. They started using an audible devise that makes what is apparently an unpleasant noise to the animals and encourages them to go elsewhere. It would be a great idea for you since you have dogs...you don't want to accidentally poison them. I'm sure any home and garden place would know what I'm talking about. Something to think about.
I have trapped more moles in my life than I know what to do with. If you use a Mole Trap like the link above, you can get pretty successful and removing them. The key is to dig out the mound, find the actual tunnel and then dig down where the jaws are. You want the bottom of the jaws to be lower than floor of the tunnel and so it can close freely. The trigger of the trap should be about 1 inch above the floor of the tunnel. Then COVER the hole, use a piece of sod, or carpet or something similar. Do not fill the hole in with dirt. When the mole passes through, it will get caught in the trap.
Option 2, shove a garden hose as far into the hole as possible and turn on the water - let it run for a day. This will force them to move - you have a large yard so this option is not advisable as they will just move into another area of your yard. (And my neighbor always wondered why he had so many mole holes, when I had so few.)
Option 3 - Not really recommended, but a lot more fun, but a bit more expensive with the potential of being VERY expensive. I have used a variety of fuels, (gas, kerosine, diesel, etc.) My favorite was diesel. (it burns longer, and more smoke). Flood several holes with the fuel, the more fuel the better, and the more holes the better. Ignite the fuel - but PLEASE make sure you do it safely, and that the fire won't spread. Try to get all the different holes you flooded with fuel ignited. The fire, heat, and smoke will drive the moles to fresh air, or they will become BBQ. If you do it right, you will have some great target practice.
Moles tend to move and dig at night, your best results will be evening or early (very early) morning hours.
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
Their bodiest cant digest the the gum. Goes for all the little diggers. Constipation will get you sooner or later.

j/k, but I do like that story.
Kat, following the google shopping links, I realize my charger is only 4-step, not 8-step like the other link I had provided that shows off the higher end 7002 model. (If I bought mine all over again, I'd probably get that one "just because", even if I probably don't need what it can do).
Maybe Fun's hypothesis is correct about your battery going south, but I won't be the least bit surprised if your battery is just fine. I think I originally bought it when I suspected a hungry battery after a slightly longer crank one day when starting the car. My car is not a DD, my battery is now just a couple of months shy of 5 years, it took 24 hrs of charging and of these, were +20 hrs of the "fast charging mode" to get it up to 80% capacity? I mean, that's a lot of charging for a battery that has been acting perfectly since. I push the start button and no hesitation ever since.
Also, I almost can't keep track of all the cars it's been used on. I have a friend who had an Explorer that was basically non-operational (3rd car, maybe even briefly a 4th car?) that he finally wanted to sell. He couldn't get it to start at all, and remembered that I had my "special charger". I told him how I would give it at least 24hrs for a fair chance, and to their happy surprise, it revived the battery just fine. That vehicle was sitting there for a quite long time too.
I realize after seeing DSX's shopping link, that our sponsor DD could be pretty competitive once you apply a coupon code. I believe I got mine from DD, now that I think about it, and I was surely timing it with a detailing supply purchase I'm sure.

Bringing out his inner hippie, Josh sported a tie-dyed T-shirt, cargo shorts, a white beard, and a blue bandana, as he amped up the self-promotion.
His wife was nearly unrecognizable as the billboard-buying actress, in a pink leopard-print mini-dress, a huge blonde wig, and hot pink heels.
On Twitter, the "Big Girls Don't Cry" singer shared a photo of the couple's costumes with the comment, "Happy Hollywood Halloween! #Halloween #Hollywood #Angelyne #DennisWoodruff @FergieFootwear"

Five-Run Sixth Ignites Omaha in 7-4 Win
Omaha takes a 2-0 lead in the American Conference Finals against Oklahoma City
By Oklahoma City RedHawks | September 5, 2013 7:22 PM ET
Oklahoma City - The Omaha Storm Chasers scored five runs in the top of the sixth inning and hung on for a 7-4 win against the Oklahoma City RedHawks in Game 2 of the PCL American Conference Finals Thursday in front of 4,482 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
The win gave Omaha a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series, which now shifts to Omaha's Werner Park for Game 3 Friday.
The RedHawks had taken a 4-2 lead in the fourth inning on a three-run homer by Jon Singleton before Omaha's offense broke out in the sixth inning.
Oklahoma City's opponent had scored first Thursday for the 10th time in the last 11 games, including the regular season.
A sac fly by Omaha's Rey Navarro scored Lane Adams, who walked, for a 1-0 lead in the second inning and extended to a 2-0 in the top of the fourth inning when Paulo Orlando grounded into a force out and Adams scored.
RedHawk Brandon Laird singled to left field to score Jose Martinez, who got on base with a single, to cut Omaha's lead to 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Singleton followed with a booming three-run homer into the Devon Energy Deck on top of the right field wall put the RedHawks ahead, 4-2.
Omaha scored five times in the sixth inning on four hits. Mitch Canham reached on a RedHawks fielding error and Navarro scored to cut the RedHawks' lead to one. A RBI double by Gorkys Hernandez tied the game, 4-4, with one out. A two-run double by Irving Falu put the Storm Chasers back in front, 6-4, and a RBI single by Ben Broussard gave Omaha a three-run edge.
The RedHawks are now 12-23 overall in the postseason, including 6-12 at home. They were charged with three errors in the game and allowed four unearned runs in their seventh straight playoff loss.
Omaha starting pitcher Clay Mortensen (1-0) allowed four runs and five hits over 5.0 innings. He walked two and struck out four. Zach Jackson was credited with the save.
RedHawks starter David Martinez pitched 4.2 innings, allowing two runs and four hits. Reliever Eric Berger (0-1) was charged with the loss, allowing five runs and four hits in 1.0 inning. He walked two and struck out one.
The RedHawks continue their best-of-five playoff series with Game 3 in Omaha at 7:05 p.m. Friday at Werner Park. Live coverage begins at 6:35 p.m. on AM 1340 "The Game," 1340thegame.com, or through the free IHeartRadio mobile app.

border property
Specifies the properties of a border drawn around an object.
Property values
One or more of the following space-delimited values:
- border-width
Any of the range of width values available to the border-width property.
- border-style
Any of the range of style values available to the border-style property.
- border-color
Any of the range of color values available to the border-color property.
CSS information
|Applies To
|All elements
|Initial Value
|(see individual properties)
Standards information
- CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3, Section 4.4
The border property is a composite property that sets the width, style, and color values for all four sides of an object. Unlike the shorthand margin and padding properties, the border property can't set different values on the four borders. To do that, one or more of the other border properties (that is, border-bottom, border-left, and so on) must be used.
You must specify a style when specifying a width or color; otherwise, the border does not render.
All individual border properties not set by the composite border property are set to their default values. For example, the default value for width is "medium".
The declaration "border: thin" is identical to "border: thin none"; the default value for the border color is the same as the text color if one is not initially set. Therefore, not only does this declaration set width to "thin", it also clears any style or color values previously set.
Setting a border to 0 or omitting the border property causes no border to be displayed. Supplying the border property without a value defaults to a single border.
If a color is not specified, the text color is used.
For more information about supported colors, see the Color Table.
The below image shows the content, padding, border, and margin areas of a basic box. The red labels illustrate the edges of each of these areas.
This example uses the border property to create a square with a purple border.
The following image shows the result of the CSS below.
