They said/We said: Some of Whitney Houston's most memorable outfits to be auctioned. Is it too soon?
We knew an auction was coming, but is it too soon? Celebrity auctioneer Darren Julien announced that the highest bidders will soon walk away with a piece of Whitney Houston, as several memorable items donned by the late songstress will be auctioned off.
"You buy items just like a stock. Buy at the right time and sell at the right time, and they just increase in value," says the auctioneer—though we're sure Houston fans won't be pleased. Moreover, the auction is to take place at his auction house, mere blocks away from the Beverly Hilton, Houston's place of death.
Items that will surely bring in the most bids are the memorable pieces Houston wore in The Bodyguard, such as the floor-length black velvet dress priced for $1,000, a vest starting at $400, and most of the costume jewellery that graced the silver screen.
The auction is set to take place March 31 and April 1 at the Hollywood Legends auction, where collectors and fans can bid by phone, online, or in person. We just wonder if Julien has hired enough security. We're sure Houston's loyal fans will be protesting outside the auction house.
The Christian Post: "The auction will certainly make money. But many fans of Houston think it's too soon for an auction to be taking place." [The Christian Post]
Perez Hilton: "It's kinda sad. Houston's family can stop nasty looters from trying swipe stuff from the hotel room Whitney died in, but they can't stop seemingly class Beverly Hills auction houses. [Perez Hilton]
Elio Iannacci, features editor: "It is absolutely too soon. Fans can take solace in knowing that Whitney's legendary status will continue to outshine those who wish to inappropriately benefit from her name. To quote one Houston's most powerful hits, "The Greatest Love of All": "No matter what they take from me/They can't take away my dignity."

Wine sales a corker on home front
Beverages writer
Page Tools
For the first time this year, the value of Australian wine exports has slipped but domestic wine sales are soaring.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, domestic sales in May rose by 6.8 per cent, in seasonally adjusted terms, to 39.3 million litres.
With production at a record high and prices falling as companies are forced to sell higher quality wine at cheaper prices, domestic sales have surged. Red and rose sales increased 11.6 per cent on April and white wine sales were up 5.7 per cent.
Exports in May decreased by 6.5 per cent on April to 57.7 million litres.
The figures show that Australia exported 655.2 million litres, fetching $2.7 billion, in the 12 months to May. This was up 14.8 per cent in volume and 10.4 per cent in value over the corresponding period to May last year.
However, Australia's wine companies exported $226.2 million of product in May, down 2.7 per cent on the same month last year. In volume terms, this was up 1.5 per cent for the same period.
The average value of Australian wine exported in May was $3.92 a litre. This was down 4.2 per cent from the $4.09 a litre in May last year. In April this year, the average value was $3.74 a litre.
Over the past few months, dollars earned from Australian wine exports have been rising steadily from the $181.1 million exported in January.
Struggling with too much inventory, sliding prices, retail consolidation and a strong Australian dollar, many Australian wine companies are under pressure to build sales following this year's record vintage.

If you're having firewall problems when using the Catalyst test server, then just run it on another port, or open the default port in your firewall. The default is 3000, to change it, pass "--port NNNN" (with a new number) to the test server, simple. (And hopefully documented somewhere).
As for the rest of your question, I can't actually determine what the question is? Are you missing something? Quite likely, since Catalyst is quite a complex system. If you need more help using it, theres quite a good Tutorial in the manual, or hop on to the mailing list or IRC channel (both mentioned in the POD), and talk to people.

I drained the gas tank of an '86 Subaru Brat that has been sitting for years and old,thick,dirty,sludgy gas(?) came out.

I'm sad to say that Chromatic Craze will be coming to an end. It was certainly fun while it lasted! Thank you so much Laura, for having me on your team. I just adore color challenges, ad working with you, my friend!!!
I love these jewel tones. Here's the card that I made.
I used glossy cardstock and alcohol inks for my background. Then I just played around with some papers, shapes, and a couple of stamps. My sentiment is from Bombshell Stamps.
See the sheen of the glossy cardstock? I hope you will play along with the final Chromatic Craze challenge. Please be sure to visit the blog to see more creations, and give us a farewell. Thanks for stopping by, Have an inspiring day!

Bristol Rovers manager Paul Buckle has suggested he will chop his squad down to size in the coming weeks.
Buckle has drafted in 18 new players since his arrival at the Memorial Stadium and the former Torquay boss feels he still needs to let a few more go to balance the books.
The 40-year-old told the Bristol Evening Post: "There are one or two here who still might move on, and that always happens when you get a new manager and a big turnaround in players."
Buckle added: "It would be wrong of me to talk about players before something happens, but the squad isn't settled yet. We still have business to do and the futures of one or two people to sort out. I'll be happy when we get a really settled squad - but we aren't there yet."

Passenger strips and is tasered after flight from Malta
An EasyJet passenger was tasered after he stripped naked and challenged the pilot to a fight following a flight from Malta, the Daily Mirror has reported.
The burly, bald 51-year-old Briton also urinated against a wall at the terminal building in Manchester and got a slap across the face from his female companion
The man removed his clothes on the tarmac as he disembarked from the aircraft.
The newspaper said the trouble started mid-flight when the man, who appeared drunk, became abusive and started swearing at fellow passengers.
The captain tried to calm him down.
The man put his clothes back on before entering Terminal One, where police arrived.
They tried to control him but resorted to using a 'dry' Taser – where the gun is held against the target to cause shock and pain – when he refused to co-operate.
He was then arrested and escorted from the airport.

ALEXANDRIA, VA — The International Bottled Water Association has applauded proposed federal legislation intended to provide uniform information to bottled-water consumers. Introduced by Reps. Renee Elmers (R-NC), Jim Matheson (D-UT) and Richard Nugent (R-FL), the Bottled Water Quality Information Act (HR 4978) would make bottled-water labels uniform nationwide.
The measure would require bottled-water producers to prepare an annual quality report and make it available upon request. That report would provide information on the type of water source (e.g., spring, artesian, well, public water system) and the treatment methods used by the bottler, as well as the test results for the microbiological, physical, chemical and radiological quality of the water, as prescribed by federal regulations.
Bottled-water labels would continue to include the name and contact information of the manufacturer or distributor and the type of water source, and would add instructions for obtaining the current bottled-water quality report.
IBWA pointed out that bottled water is comprehensively regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a packaged food product. By federal law, the FDA regulations governing the safety and quality of bottled water must be at least as stringent as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards for public water systems. With regard to contaminants that have serious public-health implications -- lead as well as coliform and E. coli bacteria -- bottled-water regulations are stricter.
Bottled water, like all other packaged beverages and foods, is subject to detailed FDA labeling requirements. However, there is limited space available on bottled-water labels because of those federal requirements. The association noted that this constraint, along with ongoing interest in smaller, more environmentally friendly labels and packaging, makes a new uniform federal labeling standard very desirable, in order to ensure that the most efficient possible use is made of label space and that the information provided to consumers is consistent across all markets.
"Uniform standards will provide bottled water producers and distributors with a more reliable environment in which to grow their businesses and give consumers consistent product information," said IBWA president and chief executive Joe Doss. "They will also ensure that the bottled water industry will continue our tradition of quickly responding during times of emergency, without the risk of being slowed by contradictory state labeling requirements."
The proposed law would further establish the bottled-water industry as sharply focused on its customers, Doss added; and it will avoid a "patchwork quilt" of confusing state and local labeling requirements. "The bill is a win-win for consumers and the industry," the IBWA president emphasized, "and we call on the House of Representatives to quickly pass this important legislation."
Founded in 1958, IBWA's membership includes U.S. and international bottlers, distributors and suppliers. In addition to complying with FDA regulations, IBWA member bottlers must adhere to the IBWA Bottled Water Code of Practice, which mandates additional standards and practices that in some cases are more stringent than federal and state regulations. A key feature of the IBWA Bottled Water Code of Practice is a mandatory annual plant inspection by an independent third-party organization.

Horrible app
This is obviously a homemade app. The girl is nice and patient, but really corny and fake, too. She's all, we're gonna have a hilarious time and then she's like yeah, I'm so funny and this is just a trash app. Got so confused learning fractions. Also the scratch pad doesn't work. Trash app! The girl makes me cringe!

Lindsay Lohan starts shortened jail term in L.A.
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A "scared" but resolute Lindsay Lohan began a 90-day jail sentence on Tuesday, trading nightclubs and Twitter messages for a small, isolated cell and an orange jumpsuit.
Lohan, 24, was booked into an all-female jail in south Los Angeles for violating her probation on two 2007 drunk-driving and cocaine possession charges.
The actress is likely to serve just 14 days behind bars, said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which runs the jail system.
Whitmore told reporters that nonviolent female inmates generally serve about 25 percent of their sentence. Good behavior and jail overcrowding programs also reduce the time in L.A. lock-ups, he said.
Beverly Hills Judge Marsha Revel on Tuesday ordered that Lohan must not be released to house arrest or electronic monitoring.
The "Mean Girls" actress, whose promising career has foundered during two years of strenuous partying, looked tired and tense during a brief, silent appearance at a packed Beverly Hills courtroom on Tuesday morning, where she was handcuffed and taken into custody.
Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, told reporters Lohan is "scared as anyone would be...and she's resolute. She does her time just like anyone else."
Local TV news helicopters showed live video of Lohan's journey, an unmarked car with tinted windows, to the 2,200-bed Century Regional Detention Facility. Continued...

Memorial plaques for sale as fundraiser
Early plans for the rebuilding of the Vinegar Hill steps included a decorative arch between two columns over the bottom of the stairway. But that feature was dropped from the current construction plans as a cost-saving measure.
Leaders of Downtown Indiana Inc. hope to get the arch reinstated in the blueprints. To raise cash possibly for the arch — and for future segments of the downtown revitalization project — the downtown business group is selling bronze plaques that can be personalized with memorials or short messages.
The plaques will be mounted on the risers of the 69 new steps.
Jess Bowman, main street manager for Downtown Indiana Inc., said each plaque will be individually sand cast in solid bronze and will measure 4 inches tall by 8 inches wide. Names of the donors or other appropriate brief inscriptions can be placed on the plaques. The inscription can have up to four lines of text with up to 20 characters per line.
The plaques are priced at $500 each and a sample is on display at the Downtown Indiana Inc. office in Old Borough Hall along North Seventh Street. More information on ordering a plaque is also available by calling Downtown Indiana Inc. at (724) 463-6110.

: Winter Routine
Is anybody else doing something different with their hair for the winter months?
My skin and hair usually get dry during winter so I went shopping and got some products that should last until November. Then I will repurchase if this new routine works.
I'm gonna start rubbing coconut oil on my scalp every night and sleeping with a bag on it or baggying only with coconut oil every night. Then in the morning I will rinse out and cowash.
Each weekend I will do a deep protein treatment. I've been doing deep moisturizing conditioners almost 3 times a week for the past 2 years so now I'm reinviting the protein back in on a regular basis.
Also, I bought this comb that I heard raving reviews on from the curly community and I'm hoping it will help with my detangle routine.
Background: this March 2013 will mark my 3 years of growing out my hair starting with a skin bald head. I will then have 7 more years to go in my 10 year grow out routine. I have not had any trims and I do check my hair for split ends each week.
My hair is now long down past the middle part of my back. I think it will be down past my tailbone by spring 2013.

And to My Nephew Albert I Leave the Island What I Won Off Fatty Hagan in a…
by David Forrest
No current Talk conversations about this book.
So far so cute, 'tho dated. Unfortunately the uncle is already deceased so we won't meet him or Fatty Hagan, but the story holds promise. What's interesting is that this book was mentioned in Aussie Readers, and I was able to find it in rural Nevada... yet somehow I don't think it's a classic.... I'm betting I saved it from discard by requesting it. It had to be somewhat popular though as it has at least two editions - my cover is different.
Ok, done. Quite charming, and very funny. Description from jacket:
Frankly, Albert's island is nothing more than a large treeless rock in the Scillies, just beyond the British territorial limit. Albert's inheritance is, in a word, worthless. But there is *something* interesting about it, and her name is Victoria, a nubile young woman in search of an all-over tan.
"As Albert is getting to know his island and Victoria better, a Russian fishing trawler (translate as spy ship) runs aground. The seventy by one-hundred-fifty-yard island develops strategic importance. The Russians lease half of it. The other half is soon invaded by the United States Marines.
"The confrontation produces more fun than ferocity, and the Russians, the Marines, and a decidedly un-Victorian Victoria and Albert settle down to enjoy every hilarious minute."
Author pseudonym of David Eliades and Robert Forrest Webb."
Today ( November, 2nd 2012 ) I received this book. Used, of course, it is out of print a rather long time.
As a teenager I was regularly lending books from the library, as a school-kid the library was free when you brought the books back in time.
Born and living in Germany, I read at that time mostly in German (reading in English started at the end of my school years).
This was one of books I remember most fondly and I searched for it, surprised to find it was out-of-print and even used
rather expensive. But I regularly checked on Amazon.de, co.uk and com and finally got the paperback for a good price in a very good edition.
As I prefer paperbacks and hardly buy any hardcover, that suits me.
I am fondly looking forward to reading this funny little book.
Reading mostly ebooks nowadays this book shows what publishers are doing wrong. Instead of me having to hunt down a cheap used edition and paying a high amount of money for shipping the publishers should look at the used book market and decide to offer books like this cheap as an ebook.
No publisher get's any more money from a used book!
Started reading it November, 3d 2012. Could not wait!
And it starts as good, as I remember.
Now at 50%. Typical British humor which reminds me of Tom Sharpe or P.G. Wodehouse. Or M.A.S.H. (I only know the movie and the tv-series, not the book). As much as it pains me to say, I only have read both Sharpe and Wodehouse in German translation (and only a few books of Wodehouse).
This book is not as bloody as some of the books of Sharpe (the bloody messes in Sharpes books may be disturbing for some readers).
Finished it just now. Well, maybe I remembered it still, but I saw the end coming a long way. No real surprise there, but a good conclusion.
Is worth the high price some people want for it used (50 to 200 Us$ p&p)?
Probably not. I paid way less and am glad I could wait for a cheap one to surface. Even then it was probably too much.
A hilarious book using the device of a young man who inherits a small inhospitable island and meets a gorgeous babe there to have some laughs about the cold war.
It made me laugh!

Back to service areas
In 1738, the East Conococheague Congregation established the Presbyterians red meeting house at Moss Spring; the site selected due to this water source. By 1741 Antrim Township was established, including all the land in the area.
The land at the center of the township, would become Greencastle at the intersection of the much traveled trails, Baltimore and Carlisle pikes. Here is where Allisons Tavern hosted cattle and sheep herders and businessmen who would make their way south from Harrisburg and Carlisle to the Potomac to sell their wares or from Baltimore north to Pittsburgh bringing goods and then purchasing other items wanted or needed before the trip home.

Such a Pretty Scent
By Heather MacLeod
from London, Ontario
I really like the smell of Venetian Grove- it's like a spicy rose, but not a grandma type rose. I normally only use gentle body wash in the shower because I have very dry skin, so I was worried this would be too harsh for me. I was pleasantly surprised that my skin felt moisturized even before using the body lotion. Great scent and great product. I'm looking forward to trying more from Royal Apothic
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I would buy this product again
By Terry
from Toronto
When I received this product I was so impressed by the packaging. The more so when I opened it. It is mild and you can smell the fragrance of the lotion when you apply it to your body.I would try them all and choose which is the best.

A new product for me and I really enjoy using it. My favorite scent so far is Holland Park but really I have all of the scents and wear them all. Subtle and not over powering. I would have given 5 stars but I am still "testing" out the body lotion. Love love love this line. KEEPER.

I bought this as a gift for someone and opened the box containing the fragrance. Loved the clean fresh scent! A tiny spritz on the back of my hand lasted for hours! I'd like to get some for myself now.I do hope they come out with some sort of sampler kits in future, say the hand lotions, because I'd like to try them all , then decide which is my favourite!...or perhaps some sampler fragrances would be nice!

dd doesn't want to see her dad(38 Posts)
Thats it really.
Exp and I separated nearly a year ago. He has probably seen our dd's about 10 times. He last saw dd1 at the beginning of August. When I met him to handover dd he literally had to peel her off of me. She was sobbing and saying she didn't want to go. In the end she did go and was ok but she told me when she got home that she didn't want to again. She is still asking if she has to see him.
He hasnt been in touch (only to tell me hes met someone else and is in love )
So, do I force dd to go? I do try to encourage her but she still insists she doesn't want to go because she doesn't like it. Shes hinted that she is bored when she is with him and last week she told me that there was a picture of a woman and a young boy and boys toys in the house. I am now wondering if this is the reason why she doesn't want to see him.
When my parents split up I didn't want to see my dad (felt very angry with him coming an going as he chose etc) my mum tried to encourage me and I still remember 40 years later the terrible extra pressure that put on me.
It really was up to my father to make it right, he never did really and I wish my mum hadn't told me I should see him-it felt like I was seeing him to make them feel better about the split not me.
Every situation is different, of course, but at the moment what is your dd getting out of contact with her father really?
If my father had been different and stuck to a routine and did things I enjoyed then it would have been different but I only ever felt like I was being forced into spending time with him and accommodating what suited him.
I never knew when he would turn up and be back in my life. I think inconsistency like that is very disruptive and damaging.
Like I say betterthanever - there are a lot of factors. Inconsistent, unpredictable and unreliable is a negative when it comes to contact with a father.
Were I advising him I'd be pointing this out in my usual diplomatic manner...
Arranging for her to go to his sisters who she sees once a year wont be good for her will it...and wait and see if daddy turns up? I have never and will never force my dc on anyone.
I have decided I will continue to talk about her dad and try and encourage her to want to see him but that is all. It is up to him to repair his relationship with her. No one is forcing him to see her every two months. Its just when he has nothing better to do we are expected to drop everything and be there. Hows that fair
Agree totally cestlavie well put
lostdad you are a consistently good dad with normal human emotions. Agree with this Kids benefit from having a relationship with their dad however - unless the negatives outweigh the positives (and there are a lot of them).
I am not sure having her dad allowed to turn up as and when the mood took him is a good example to set for the DC's future relationships. I agree it is better than having her driven around by someone breaking the law though. She may feel differently when she is 15 - what happens now can be changed at a later date if she chooses to, it is the right's of the child after all - we must not let lawyers skew that.
I disagree with most of the posters here my mum did everything she could to facilitate our contact with a disinterested father, sending me off to see him crying just made me dislike him more. we didnt bond and resented each other terribly, him for me not wanting to go and me for having to go. He was not a nice man and even as a child I understood that. By the time I was old enough to refuse to go I didn't care about him and our relationship was well beyond repair. My step dad is my dad in everyday that matters. I haven't seen my biological father in many many years.
I would not force her but encourage her, maybe give her time to miss him. Assuming he is basically a decent guy maybe try to stress his good points a bit?
I think I'd still suggest going back to that on a set basis. At least she'll be safe and supervised there so you won't have to worry about her being driven by someone who has been drinking and it will keep the lines of communication open. She wouldn't be there overnight either. If you arrange it with his sister so that your DD visits whether her father turns up or not it will give her a more settled routine.
It would be very easy to break contact and he sounds like a waste of space, but how she feels now isn't necessarily how she'll feel at 15. By then she might not remember that she didn't want to go. Unless you feel she would be ill treated there I really think it would be good for her to have some connection with that side of her family. It might even be that your ex didn't like seeing your DD there because his sister was giving him shit about his parenting.
thing is with the school analogy is tha that particualr school isnt compulsory - education is though. if school isnt working - you look at reasons why, try to soelve them and if not - well you can always find another one.
knowing who your dad is, yes. v important.
not stopping a relationship - important too.
accepting how he is - yes and if that means you dont force a relationship then you dont.
op has tried.
she can try again in a few months. or if dd asks.
and in meantime get on with having a good life for dd and building relationships with other role models.
We tried that havantguard and he didn't like it so it stopped . The problem is there is no consistency. Its as and when he chooses which isnt fair. His relatives arent bothered i only hear from his sister at birthdays and I refuse to visit people who don't even ring to see how dc are. I wont force me and my dc on people
Are there any relatives of his she could have contact with? Somewhere she could go for the day on a regular, fixed basis where he could turn up if the mood takes him but she would be looked after by someone else? A grandparent or aunt?
True betterthanever - I agree with most of what you're saying.
I am giving the whole `granny' analogy because it can be hard for anyone who feels mistreated by an ex to be rational and child-focused about things (for a long time I needed a second opinion where my one was concerned and even now I ask my other half `Am I being a twat?' before I say or do something where my ex is concerned because I really want to have as good as a relationship as it is ever can be).
But with the analogy - I'm guessing that the OP's attitude if her DD said `I don't want to see granny' would be `Well, it is good for you AND granny to spend time with each other because she is one of the family and you should try to have a nice time together' (unless granny is not safe and/or abusive of course - but then again...surely we give people the benefit of the doubt rather than automatically thinking the worst of them???)
I'm not saying that in this case that the OPs ex is a good (or bad) dad. You and me BOTH know that there are different sides to the same story (hell...if the OP's kid was a boy instead of a girl she could be MY ex who is considered the waste of skin and she's talking about me).
Kids benefit from having a relationship with their dad however - unless the negatives outweigh the positives (and there are a lot of them). We're likely arguing by degree here - we've just got different benchmarks. Being `a bit crap' isn't really a hill of beans unless what you mean is neglectful or abusive.
One day she will learn that not all people are nice, I hope her dad doesn't become her first example.
Betterthanever- I have asked dd lots if times and sges gives various reasons. Hes not nice. He'll drink (he gas before, the driven her home), she gets bored....it goes on. I said in a previous post ex appears to be living with his new gf and her son and im sure dd picked up on this when she was last there.
I arent forcing her. Like someone said it is up to him to repair his relationship with her.
My concern now is how do I minimise any damage?
I am worried and upset that dd will be permanently damaged by his rejection, uninterest and lack of a father
You sound like a good dad Lostdad - that is how relationships are formed and maintained regarding you and your DS but if there were real reasons why your DS could not form a relationship with gran then you would understand surley and not force at all costs?
It sounds like the relationship the Op's ex has with his DD is an issue for some reason. I agree OP the sporadic contact is an issue here and maybe one reason - I don't have advice on how to solve that as you can't make him see her regularly and when he does have her, built the relationship. You can't build a relationship between two other people even if you wanted to, you can encourage it which is what you have been doing.
The thing I disagree with lostdad on is that is is not in the child best interest to have a relationship with her dad per se, it is in the child's best interest to have a good relationship with her dad and at the moment that isn't there - research clearly states that bad relationships can damange children. That is not to say it is to be abandoned at this stage but needs to be looked at which is what the OP is asking for help on, to just pretend there is no problem and force contact will not solve the issue. Again I'm being unhelpful really as this doesn't give you a solution OP.
I agree with those who have said if thier DC suddenly didn't want to go to school a good parent would ask why - not just force them. This happened to my DS, I found the root cause, it was solved and he was back to enjoying school. He was involved in the whole process, he knew he was able to express he was upset/frightened as it turned out, children have to be able to feel confident they can communicate thieir distress, so they don't grow up overly responsible and not abused by others. At your DD's age they are in the process of developing that emotional understanding, if it is not developed properly then she will have problems later in life.
So I guess what I am offering as advice is to try and find out why she does not want to go and if there is something that can be done and a regular pattern of contact is always a positive as DC need routine and knowing where they are.
I got a message from exp tonight saying 'i'd like to see the girls soon' I told him dd1 doesn't want to see him. We got home and he tried ringing the house phone.
I told dd about him wanting to see her. Her face dropped. She is adamant she doesn't want to see him. Such a difficult situation but not helped by his sporadic contact
I really feel for you, I was in this position 10+ years ago with my DC. They ended up being so adamant (but they were a bit older 8 and 10) that they didn't want to see their father than cafcass and the court ruled they didn't have to and should not be forced.
I disagree with the school/chocolate analogy, your DD at 6 may not be 100% able to express herself and 'know what is best' but she does know the difference between a decision such as only eating chocolate and saying she doesn't want to see her own father. At 6 her father should be a huge figure in her life and someone she is ASKING to see, and if it was any sort of healthy relationship a 6 year old would not be so adamantly saying no.
Similarly, if a 6 year old was adamant about not going to school I would be very concerned and investigate the reasons, not just simply force her. Yes, at the end of the day she has to go to school but if it was having such a negative impact on her then I would be investigating why, getting changes made or switching her school.
OP see what happens with time and cross the bridge of what to do when he does ask, but for now just keep mentioning her father in everyday conversation but not pushing and keep questioning when she does say no to seeing him. If you are doing all that, then you are doing nothing wrong and are acting in her best interest.
Another weekend is upon us and zero contact from exp.
I have to agree with sleepy fish on all points.
the sporadic interest does concern me. Last time we did handover he had to peel dd from me and she was distraught. Any mum wouldn't want to put their dd through that again would they? People were stopping and staring it was traumatic for both of us and exp was getting angry.
I have talked to dd on numerous occasions and encouraged her to try and she insists she does not want to see him. I am not sure what I should do if and when he asks to see her. My gut feeling is to stand by my dd. I don't want her damaged by traumatic handovers and I don't want her resenting me for making her go.
Her best interests are paramount and her safety is crucial obviously. If he is safe with her and if he is an OK parent (and I use the word `OK' because let's face it - everyone has different parenting styles) it is in her best interests to have a relationship with her dad.
I know my post comes across as a bit flippant and possibly a little barbed - but it's not meant to be. It's just that it's worth asking questions like that because it takes the emotional heat out of a decision that many of us find hard to step away from.
Children don't have the same judgement we do because they are children. Maybe at times the OPs DD would decide `she doesn't want to see granny' or `doesn't want to talk to granny on the phone'.
When it comes to my parenting style I am more in the traditionalist camp rather than the liberal one. If my son (who is 6 too!) said any of the above I would talk to him about why and probably conclude by telling him that he should see/talk to his granny and that's that. He's quite mature for his age too...but he's still a child and I see it as my job to act in his best interests (such as building a relationship with his grandparents that he will treasure when they are dead and gone) even if it means he is in a strop with me because he isn't getting his own way.
I'm his dad, not his best mate after all.
God...it sounds like I wear a top hat, handlebar moustache and use the phrase `By GOD boy - one day you'll THANK me for this' while giving him `six of the best'. I don't, by the way...
I think rather than 'would you not send them to school/let them live off chocolate' etc, more relevant is if it was seeing your parents that was making her have that reaction, and you knew there were the same reasons then what would you do?
Would you send her regardless to maintain some form of relationship, would you agree to contact but stay to make sure she's ok (or a relative she is close with accompany her if its not possible for you to be around ex), or would you say it's too unsettling for her seeing them and not force her to for a period of time/until she decides?
Personally with any relative I wouldn't force a relationship for at least 6 months or so if there had been these issues for a year and DC was that upset (regardless of whether or not they have a greater 'biological' relevance by being a dad, or they are an aunt, grandparent, or a second cousin twice removed..)
I have to disagree with others. I think sporadic contact with a disinterested parent is not necessarily in the child's best interests and potentially more damaging in the long term than no contact.
It really is not up to OP to repair her dd's relationship with her father. I would have thought it was obvious who's responsibility that was.
You can't force a father to see his child so why is it ok to force a child to see their father? I would take my child's feelings into account.
OP I feel for you. going through similar with the Ex atm. 7yo never wants to go. 4yo couldnt care less If he Tried. Ive had the same thing off Dd that he never takes them anyway and they just stay in the house all weekend etc. The last time they went she burst out crying the minute she got through his door saying she wanted to go home to Mummy. Hes meant to be having them this weekend but he hasnt contacted me to arrange. OP keep It as It Is for now and take comfort in the fact that youre Dd will.thank you for being the only consistent one throughout.
Thanks for all your posts. I have always been more than reasonable but to be quite blunt exp isn't that bothered about seeing her. He can go months. And then when he gets in touch I comply and he sees her....ue when it suits him. I think it is a classic case of 'all you sow you reap' :-(
That's really hard.
I am firmly in the camp of encouraging contact, keeping your own biased reservations out of it etc. Making sure your child feels secure when away from you and all that sort of thing.
But, the difference here is that her Dad isn't making much effort.
He isn't helping and his lack of effort is tbh what is behind it all.
Won't change nappies? god, yes you are dealing with a real prize here.
Be sensitive. But she's 6. She's not old enough to make such an important decision.
I've been jumped on before (and will be again in all likelihood)...if she decided to make another big decision such as she was never going to go to school again, only eat chocolate or something like that...would you say `She's very mature for a 6 year old and able to make her mind up' or `Don't push her to go to school/eat anything other than chocolate'?
Yes, leave if for a bit, let things calm down and your DD start to miss him and he start to miss your DD. Hopefully he will realise things aren't right and be prepared to make changes.
Make sure even though you don't push her to see him, you do talk about him and that he pops up into conversation as you don't want her to think she isn't allowed to talk about him or become scared of him.
if he hasnt asked and she has not asked to go then you are doing nothing wrong in leaving it.

Frenchman Samir Nasri led Manchester City to a good star of their title defense, but didn't come easily as Southampton put a good game and took advantage of City's defense mistakes.
The Citizens suffered an early blow at the seventh minute when Sergio Aguero fell down after Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne tackled him cleanly. The Argentine injured his right knee and left on a stretcher after standing up and talking some steps. Dzeko came in as replacement.
At the 16 th , Man City on attacking mode and Nasri with a nice back hill set up for Tevez who is taken down by Hooiveld in the box. David Silva took the penalty but his horrible shot was deflected by Kelvin Davis.
After some monotony for 20 minutes, City would get on the board at the 40 th after Nasri put a lovely pass to Tevez who shot past Davis's near post. Southampton protested calling offside on Tevez goal and it was very tight indeed but referee Howard Webb did not call it.
The second half was a goal fest filled with emotion with Man City dominating and Southampton running effective counterattacks.
During the first ten minutes, the Citizens had three straight great scoring options Dzeko, Clichy and Silva but none of them were able to shoot on target after being inside Southampton's box.
Then at minute 59 th it was Southampton who had a couple of good touches between De Prado and Lambert who curled the ball past Hart to tie the game.
Nine minutes later Jack Rodwell made a bad pass after a City took a corner kick, which created a good counter for Southampton and Steven Davies scored brilliantly to leave City in shock.
Man City however reacted quickly and Dzeko scored after a mix up in the Saints' box at the 72 nd minute.
Mancini's boys kept dominating and creating chances until man of the match Nasri got a deserved price after Southampton defense cleared a cross poorly and the French took a rocket shot from the penalty spot to give City a deserved advantage.
The game's intensity went down in the last minutes as City controlled the game. Southampton will receive Wigan on Saturday while Man City will visit Liverpool on Sunday.

Greetings. I am a new mama with a bath time conundrum. My dd is nearly 6 months and does not like taking a bath. Is it because we don't give them to her regularly? I can count the number of baths we've given her on two hands. Now we wish to make it a more regular thing, 1X or 2X per week. But she is not too happy about it. She isn't throwing huge fits or anything, but it is clear that she is uncomfortable and the longer she is in there, the more unhappy she gets. The last two times I went in with her to see if I could offer some reassurance, but same thing: she is def not digging it. So bath time is a three minute in-and-out flurry instead of a relaxing part of the night time routine. I was looking forward to baths, as well as swimming. I hope I haven't ruined it! Perhaps I should add that we do not use any special bathing devices, just the plain ole tub. We have debated whether the water is too hot or too cold. Just not sure what to do. Any advice?
Its my super DH , my lovely DD (11/15/11), ferocious Future Cat, and myself
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I don't think that you did anything to ruin bathtime for your baby. Some babies just don't care for baths. Your dd will probably grow out of it and learn to like baths eventually. For now I would just stick to the in and out, three minute baths and hopefully your baby will come around soon. I mean, be calm, make sure the temp is good, and all that stuff. Your vibe and everything will rub off on baby. But you're not hurting her by giving her a three minute bath that she doesnt dig yk?
Or you could try the shower. I never got into showering with babies until they are older, but some people swear by it.
Every single baby of mine (4) hated bathes. One liked showers, the rest just did not like getting wet. Once they got older, that changed, now I usually can not get most of them OUT of the tub! They all love water. The baby is 9 months now and just started allowing me to take him into pools, but he still dislikes the bath/shower.
My boys didn't like the bath because they were cold. I used to fill it up only four to six inches or so, trying to be safe and cautious, but eventually I learned they liked a FULL bathtub. Which is totally unsafe, I know. But they like their bodies to feel submerged, so with my youngest I let it go to his chest and my older one gets a bit more water. I just sit by the tub and stay there. Is your DD sitting up already?
Coffee, Vintage and Kids. My Life.
Yes, yes! All good suggestions to try. I feel better. Thank you!
Its my super DH , my lovely DD (11/15/11), ferocious Future Cat, and myself
@CherryBombMama : My dd is not sitting up by herself yet. But I am not oppose to trying the full bath when she is. ;)
Thanks again everyone.
Its my super DH , my lovely DD (11/15/11), ferocious Future Cat, and myself
the baby i had who hated baths loved swimming pools. once she was old enough to take baths with her older sisters, she stopped hating baths.
drowning in hormones with 4 daughters and an understanding, loving hubby. also some dogs. my life is crazy and we are always learning.

My son loves the water, but hates the cold feeling of the part not submerged, so I just fill the tub up all the way and bring him in with me. He sits with the water up to his chin, with me supervising and ready to grab him if need be, of course, and he has a wonderful time.
My 9 month old niece HATES baths. Everytime we give her a bath, she's screaming until she loses her voice. We've tried just giving her sponge baths, baths in the sink, showers, everything. We've only found two things that make baths bearable to her. Either her brother (who is 2) has to be in the tub with her, which none of us understand since he loves being in water and is splashing and screaming and just making bath time a party (though i could be the fact that she adores him). The other thing is one of us sits in the tub with her, holds her head and neck up, and she just floats in the water.
Had my beautiful baby boy 12/5/12
My twins also hated baths, but I ALSO did the "being ultra safe" new mom thing with only a little water and it being temperate at best. I'm sure they were freezing. I'm much more ok with slightly warmer water and more of it this time. It did get better once they could sit up and play, though! Now they love it except getting their hair rinsed (we're still working on the mechanics of "look up!" while we pour the water.)
Edit: OH! And I wanted to mention that we did eventually work bath time into the night time routine, but for a long while instead of relaxing them, it just riled them up - they'd get out of the tub and run around the bedrooms like little crazy people... naked of course. So... look out for that, but don't let it get you down. :)
Mama to twin boys, Oct-'09 and baby girl, Apri-'12!
This babe doesn't love to take baths but my older daughter and I really do. I've gotten DD2 to relax and enjoy the bath more by always taking the bath with her, making sure the water and the room are plenty warm and nursing in the tub. She has been enjoying them more, she relaxes and doesn't cry. She's not at the point where she's old enough for splashing and playing yet.
@ parsley - I am going to try nursing her in the tub... that will be an interesting experiment. Thanks everyone!
Its my super DH , my lovely DD (11/15/11), ferocious Future Cat, and myself
Just throwing in my two cents here... I didn't bathe DS much at all until he could sit up well on his own, mostly because he hated it. But once he started sitting up by himself, he started enjoying them more.
Here's how I introduced baths the second go around... Once I got the running water to a decent temp, I'd sit him naked in the tub at the end opposite from the faucet, plug the tub and let him watch it fill up... adding bubbles, etc. He could see the water rising up to him and thought it was very funny, splashed and laughed and played. It was like he was a totally different baby!

Critical Reports
If a diagnosis is deemed "CRITICAL" by the reporting pathologist, examples being unexpected malignancy, unexpected infection in an immunocompromised patient, evidence of a clinical mishap such as a perforated body viscus/ organ, or an unexpected clinically significant inflammatory process such as vasculitis, we we attempt to communicate the report to the clinical team by bleep or mobile telephone number. Occasionally the consultant pathologist will telephone, email or text message the consultant clinician – this is more common at weekends. If electronic communication is made only MRN and initials of patient should be used . Details of all such communication are recorded in the report

Ammon sent me an email with regard to an auction on Ebay where by the looks of it a Webmaster has been up to no good and is making a few dollars in selling some hosting on a .gov site.
The auction is now finished and the winning bidder has successfully purchased a site on a 'golddust' .gov domain for the cool sum of £5,200!
In the grand scheme of things this might be considered a bargain based on the link opportunities from the trusted .gov tyope domain, but look at one the disclaimers attached to the sale.
What? Are you crazy, are you telling me that for £5,200 English pounds I am not even guaranteed a years hosting with this and that anythink that is uploaded could be removed within a matter of hours?
I haven't mentioned the seller has no Ebay history, this is madness, I hope the purchaser of the sale gets their money's worth, but for £5,200 I can't see that happening.

acting my age...
The "happy spring" card was created for Papertrey Ink's sketch challenge today. Used my Pink Paislee London Market paper, Papertrey dies and sentiment stamp from tag-its. Topped it off with my favorite felt flower. My second card was submitted for this week's challenge over on the Create blog. Valentine...
Added a few more varieties of yarn to my small collection for more flowers. Added a crochet flower, topped with a canvas button I created using the i-top, backed with pom-pom trim and added a little paper flower to the top of the button.

Both are so cute Andrea, but I am in love with the second! Sweet blooms, image and buttons! Be brave ;)ReplyDelete
I hate the dentist too. Had to go quazillion times last year. Eek! The first card is my fav. The new Pink Paislee lines look great.ReplyDelete
Andrea! These cards are romantic and lovely!ReplyDelete
I sympathise with you andrea, im undergoing dental treatment, getting a bridge crown and now I have a sinus infection which is effecting all the nerves in my teeth ... ouch!!! im on antibiotics , so hopefully all will be well for me next week to get it fitted.ReplyDelete
As for your cards love them, :)
happy weekend x
hope your dental visit goes well :)
what a lovely take on the PTI sketch. gorgeous romantic layers :)ReplyDelete
I love them both! Beautiful work! As for putting on your big girl pants, I've had way to much medical stuff to deal with and my motto is, if I get a shot, I get to shop! Makes those crummy days a little easier! :)ReplyDelete
Holy guacamole, all your cards are so sweet! I am adding you to my Reader so I don't miss a thing!ReplyDelete
BTW I am going through some dental stuff too.....waaaaay too much $$$!
I love all of you projects! I do have question about the ribbon you used on this card..where is it from and what is it called? :)ReplyDelete

Location: Cotton Ginning ResearchTitle: Pneumatic Conveying of Seed Cotton: Minimum Velocity and Pressure Drop Author
Submitted to: Transactions of the ASABE
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 4/10/2014
Publication Date: 4/11/2014
Citation: Hardin IV, R.G. 2014. Pneumatic Conveying of Seed Cotton: Minimum Velocity and Pressure Drop. Transactions of the ASABE. Vol. 57(2): 391-400. Interpretive Summary: Electricity is a major cost for cotton gins, accounting for approximately 20% of variable costs. Over 50% of the electricity used at gins powers centrifugal fans that are used for pneumatic conveying of seed cotton, lint, seed, and foreign matter, generating air flow that moves material through ductwork. A small reduction in conveying velocity will significantly decrease the energy required to convey material. Advances in control technologies, primarily the development of lower cost adjustable-speed drives for large electric motors, could make fan speed control feasible in cotton gins. However, further research on pneumatic conveying in cotton gins is needed for the development of these control systems. Models were developed that accurately predicted the minimum velocity needed to convey seed cotton and the additional pressure required when conveying seed cotton as a function of seed cotton mass flow rate, pipe diameter, and air density. Cotton cultivar, moisture content (from 8.2-11.1%), and pipe diameter did not have a practical effect on the parameters of these models. For a representative conveying system in a commercial gin, with a pipe diameter of 0.508 m, an air density of 0.95 kg m-3 (air is heated for drying), and a mass flow rate of 3.7 kg s-1 (approximately 21 bales per hour), the minimum conveying velocity predicted by the model was 14.9 m s-1. A typical velocity used in conveying seed cotton in gins is 22.9 m s-1. If the conveying velocity was reduced to 10% above the minimum (to provide a safe operating margin), the air velocity would be reduced 28%. The estimated reduction in the pressure required by the conveying system would be 35%, resulting in a total reduction in energy consumption of 53% for the fan in this conveying system. The models developed in this research will enable the development of fan speed control systems for pneumatic conveying in cotton gins. These systems will use lower air velocities under appropriate conditions, thus reducing energy use and the air volume that must be treated by cyclones to reduce dust emissions. Furthermore, fan speed control systems should reduce the likelihood of choking conveying pipes during adverse conditions, such as seed cotton with high moisture content. The improved understanding of pneumatic conveying theory resulting from this study will lead to more energy-efficient gin designs.
Technical Abstract: Electricity is a major cost for cotton gins, representing approximately 20% of variable costs. Fans used for pneumatic conveying consume the majority of electricity at cotton gins. Development of control systems to reduce the air velocity used for conveying seed cotton could significantly decrease electricity use and cost. A greater understanding of the theory of pneumatic conveying of seed cotton is necessary for development of these systems. A negative pressure conveying system was constructed with a feed control, conveying pipe, separator, and fan. Air velocity was measured at the system inlet and outlet and in the conveying section when testing with air only. A differential pressure measurement was taken in the conveying pipe, and temperature and relative humidity were recorded. Two pipe diameters, two cultivars, two moisture content levels, and three seed cotton feed rates were included in the experimental design. Seed cotton was fed into the conveying system, and the fan speed was decreased until choking occurred. The minimum differential pressure measurement indicated the saltation velocity. A segmented linear model was fit to the log transformed data to identify the mass flow ratio and Froude number (Fr) corresponding to the minimum pressure. This model accurately fit the data (R2=0.88) and resulted in the following equation for finding the saltation velocity: '=8.90*10-5*Frmin5.04, where Frmin is the Fr at the saltation velocity. The solids resistance factor at velocities greater than saltation was found to be 0.179*Fr-1. This model had an R2 of 0.91 and predicted the pressure drop with 14.2% error. Pipe diameter, cultivar, and moisture content level did not have a practically significant effect on the models developed to predict saltation velocity or the solids resistance factor. These models may be useful in designing control systems for cotton gin conveying systems, resulting in significant electricity and cost savings.

Montcalm Township Fire Department fights grass fire at local farm
MONTCALM TOWNSHIP — A grass fire at a local farm coincided with the first day of spring Tuesday.
The Montcalm Township Fire Department responded to the fire at 3:50 p.m. at Petersen Farms just east of M-91 between the East Montcalm Cemetery and the Montcalm County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Fire Chief Clif Dickinson said Adam Petersen of Petersen Farms called in the fire.
"When I got there I realized it was bigger than what they had let it on to be," Dickinson said. "It was going pretty good."
Adam Petersen declined comment.
Dickinson said the farmers were burning a back field when the wind picked up and the fire went out of control. The blaze ended up burning eight acres of farm land.
Firefighters cleared the scene around 5:45 p.m. after responding to their first grass fire of the year.
Dickinson said Montcalm Township ordinance requires residents to obtain burn permits before burning anything. Dickinson said the hot weather makes burning anything particularly dangerous right now.
"I'm not issuing any burn permits until we get some rain," he said. "It's too dry out there."
Firefighters wore leather boots, long pants, long sleeves and helmets for safety reasons while extinguishing the fire in 80-plus degree weather.
"It makes it kind of miserable," Dickinson admitted.

Owasso Student Suspended For Fight Off School Property
There are 325 comments on the News on 6 Tulsa story from Sep 30, 2009, titled Owasso Student Suspended For Fight Off School Property. In it, News on 6 Tulsa reports that:Morgan Burger got into a fight off of school grounds, across the street at a Kum & Go.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at News on 6 Tulsa.

What a moronic father. He should be thanking the school for trying to the stop the child from going down the wrong road. He is just embarrassed that he has not made the effort to discipline his son.
#2 Sep 30, 2009
I dont think the school can deny the student his opportunity to complete his homework and assignments can they? I'd just enjoy my three days off, and take the good with the bad. Doesnt look like it was much of a fight by the pictures.

yep burger.. thats right try an make ur son the victim here...LOL. no wonder hes where hes at an im sure its not goin to get any better with ur kind of my poor boy attittude. wont learn any lesson will he

PS i think your pic together speaks volumes
#5 Sep 30, 2009
If this boy were the Colonel's son I whip him from Tulsa to the state line and thank the school for helping teach him a lesson. As for the low life dad, he'll probably buy the boy a radar detector when he gets his first speeding ticket!

If the parents would put as much energy in to raising children as they do griping about poor Jonny being punished, we would have fewer issues like this.
#7 Sep 30, 2009
Funny thing: I never, EVER fought when I was in school. EVER. Other kids fought... but I had parents who taught me right from wrong. Too bad this dad didn't do the same for his son. You have no sympathy from me. This does send a message:
#8 Sep 30, 2009
Have any of you thought that maybe this kid didn't initiate the fight? If that were my son I would be very upset that the school is giving punishment for a fight that happened off of school property JUST to make a statement to the other kids. They have no jurisdiction over a store accross the street. Yes, the dad should punish the kid if it is due..but NOT the school!
#9 Sep 30, 2009
Another example where the school system has taken on th role of parent because parenting isn't done at home. My da always toldme (and I told mine) that if they got in trouble at school, they'd get it worse at home. Since this was related to a school function, th school system set a good example by disciplining this young man and setting the tone for others. The dad isn't doing his kid any service in the long term by attacking the school publicly instead of in private,because now the kid will think he can run to Daddy whenever he does wrong and it'll be defended, right or not. Bottom line, if you don't want others involved in the discipline of your children, you need to make sure your children respect (and maybe a little old fashioned healthy fear) you enough not to do wrong and expect you to defend it.
#10 Sep 30, 2009
Was the other kid suspended for fighting too? Because if he wasn't, this certainly was not fair. All you people going off on the father, yeah, the kid shouldn't be fighting and there are obviously some issues there. But hello, the bigger issue here is the school taking its "rights" too far. So you punish someone BEFORE they commit a crime on school property? How does this make sense? This kid did nothing wrong on school property, how can they punish him? Hell, they might as well punish all the kids that fight at home with their siblings, because you know, that could end up happening on school property too.
#12 Sep 30, 2009
Amazing that most of these comments are about the father. I think he is right to stick up for his son. Why a three day suspension? What happened to after school suspensions or Saturday suspensions? Seems harsh for a warning. To send a message to the other students? Does Owasso have rampaging hordes of kids that need to be controlled with school detentions?
How far does this reach? If a kid was followed home from school and had a fight in his yard? Or would it have to be 200 kids parading behind that makes it a three day suspension? What if it was just 10?
Since: Sep 09

I Agree with Losing our freedom, the rest of you go ahead and disipline your children today because you know sometime in the future they will not make a good choice.

This is why my son goes to private school. Owasso school district has made many bad decisions. I have two older children that graduated from the High school and that was a BIG reason we chose private school. My daughter who was in 11th grade wanted to change classes because of a really bad teacher the only other class offered was across the street and I was told it was to dangerous for her to cross the street. Yet the Quarterback at that time was able to with out a problem. Not to mention that he crossed the street to take the class from his mother. When I moved to Oklahoma I was told that Owasso was the best school system in the area. They have proved more then once that is not the case anymore.
#15 Sep 30, 2009
Well, since any student can begin a fight at any time rather on school grounds or not, then use their justification and just suspend all the students because they "might" start a fight. This superintendent has crossed the lines of discipline.
United States
#16 Sep 30, 2009
Yes, your son should be punished for fighting across the street from the school. This is still a school related issue and Tulsa kids are suspended for this very thing all the time. How, might I ask, is the school using your son??? You obviously condone this kind of crap or you would not be making such a fuss.
No violence period. Your child and the other one planned this at the school.
Rather then teaching your son to take responsibility for his actions your teaching him how to whine and moan because he is being served discipline.
#17 Sep 30, 2009
What was the suspension for the other kid??? What about the 200 that watch? Why didn't they get a "message"?
#18 Sep 30, 2009
Get over it dad! Gee....the kid needs to be punished!!!
#19 Sep 30, 2009
Ok will someone please explain how in the world 200 students left the game and went across the street to watch a fight and not 1 Owasso police officer saw this. Half the Owasso police department is at the football games. I agree with the parents of this boy, and have experienced fighting at a game with my own son in the past and the police dept. just kicked them out of the game. The school system is wrong and the asst. superintendent in my opinion is worthless. I have called him in the past with concerns in the schools and he NEVER returned my call.
#20 Sep 30, 2009
The question isn't what should be punishment be... it's about who should determine the punishment!
United States
#21 Sep 30, 2009
Gee after reading the responses on here, I wonder if anyone actually heard what the father said. He is punishing his son for fighting and is handling it at home. I agree that if you want to send a message then make it a in school suspension that you actually have to do work, away from your friends. Give extra work. Making him stay home, yeah that's real punishment.

Here are great suggestions you can employ to make your credit report help you score low-interest credit deals.
- Make it a habit to order your annual credit report, at least every six months. This way, you can have the chance to closely monitor your credit activities, particularly your credit card transactions as well as your loan repayments. Furthermore, you can have the opportunity to scrutinize the entries in your report and check if there are errors or inconsistencies that must be disputed, immediately.
- Get rid of errors in your credit files. In case you discovered that your report contains items, which could potentially hurt your credit score then, you should write and send a letter of credit dispute to the firm that issued the erroneous document. That way, the personnel of the credit bureau can conduct a probe on your claim and make the necessary changes in your credit file, especially if the employees of the firm discover that your credit dispute is valid.
- Always stick to responsible credit and payment habits. The best way to build and maintain a solid credit profile entails living up to the terms and conditions of your credit agreement. For example, you need to keep up with your payment schedule by submitting timely payments of your bills or monthly dues. For credit cardholders, you should spend within your credit limit and avoid going overboard with your credit card charges. Meanwhile, for loan takers, be sure to stick to your payment terms and don't settle your debt before the agreed-upon payment date. In so doing, you can prevent your credit score from sliding down and affecting your financial prospects. At the same, your responsible credit habits will help you avoid incurring pesky fees and charges which could compromise your personal or household budget.
- Safeguard your credit information, all the time. Don't be a victim of credit fraud and identity theft! After all, getting ripped off by the schemes of fraudsters and online hackers can inflict severe damage to your credit history.
- In fact, it can ruin your chances of qualifying for affordable credit deals, later on.
So, you should see to it that you will disclose your personal, contact, and financial details ONLY in secure commercial establishments and shopping sites. And be wary of the activities employed by unscrupulous organizations to steal your identity and commit fraud by using your credit information.
- Negotiate for a raise in your credit limit. Did you know that a sudden rise in your credit limit can work to your advantage? After all, it can help keep your debt-to-limit ratio low, which can in turn boost your credit rating. And with a high credit score, for sure, you will receive plenty of offers for low-interest credit programs.
Hence, you should be ready to talk to your card issuer and haggle for a raise in your credit limit, especially if you have been consistent in submitting prudent and complete payments of your monthly dues. Just remember to do it in a courteous manner so as to improve your chances of convincing the credit card firm to accept and approve your request.

Task Force Keeping Tuscawilla Safe
Ocala leaders are trying to restore a popular park to families. A woman was recently raped at Tuscawilla Park, but an established task force is set on making sure that type of violent crime does not happen there again.
The incident happened overnight last Thursday.
Thomas Anthony Degennaro was arrested and police believe he was an acquaintance of the victim. Both are homeless- as transient people often visit the park. That is one of the issues that prompted the launching of "Operation Tuscawilla."
"We are trying to address those issues also trying to address any other problem we have, you know, drugs or crime problems in the neighborhood," Tye Chighizola, City of Ocala Growth Management Director and Operation Tuscawilla Team Coach told TV20.
The citizen and city task force also looks at redevelopment and improvement projects to the park. Chighizola says that next on the agenda is re-establishing a neighborhood watch group.

Hartley, who has been missing practice time with a left ankle injury, was ruled out indefinitely by UConn on Thursday. She did not practice with the team Thursday and there is no timetable for her return.
"As far as I'm concerned I don't care if she sits out until January," coach Geno Auriemma said Thursday after practice. "I just want her to get to the point where it's 100 percent healthy and we're not worrying about it the rest of the season."
Hartley has been in and out of practice for most of the preseason and has been wearing a protective boot on her left foot. She has participated in individual stretching and agility drills on the side court during practices, but did not get the response from her ankle that she wanted. Hartley was not made available to the media after practice.
"Her presence brings a lot. . . . but we're still trying to push through and do what we can without her," sophomore guard Brianna Banks said.
The exhibition game (7 p.m. Gampel Pavilion) will give UConn fans their first look at highly-touted freshman Breanna Stewart, a 6-4 forward who figures to see substantial playing time. Stewart will make her debut along with newcomers Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck.
Although the Huskies obviously want Hartley back on the floor, both Banks and Jefferson will likely benefit with more playing time. With Hartley out and Caroline Doty on a short leash due to her past knee injuries, Banks and Jefferson will get more minutes according to Auriemma.
The starting lineup for the first exhibition remains a mystery. According to Auriemma, Stefanie Dolson, Kelly Faris and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis are three likely starters.
"I'll just pick two names out of a hat and go for that," Auriemma said of the other two spots.

Why do you bring politics and conspiracy theories into just about every thread you post in? Maybe you're just prone to suspecting conspiracies everywhere due to the fact that your profile on this site is a lie - you've been banned here at least twice before, including one profile with your real name. You've persistently used this site as a platform to spread your paranoid fantasies about bankers, politicians and the "global elite" while hypocritically misrepresenting yourself in a dishonest fashion. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Equality for all is not about molly coddling people or "western liberal social engineering" - equality in the political sense is about the right for everyone to have equal access to education, health care, the right to vote, freedom from arbitrary discrimination (gender, sexuality, etc), and other basic, fundamental human rights that one should expect in a modern, progressive society. As such, I think politics are irrelevant to this discussion. Because ultimately, politicians aren't telling everyone they're special - society is.
A few people have mentioned the internet as a critical element of this rising tide of mediocrity glorification, and I have to agree with that. It's this unfettered international platform that's giving absolutely everyone a voice (not a bad thing inherently) to spread their opinions as fact (not such a good thing). Two decades ago, we got our information from books, journals, magazines and newspapers. We trusted these sources largely because the people writing them had qualifications and demonstrated expertise in their respective fields (well, for the most part - I'm not including trashy celebrity rags which have been around since the dawn of publishing). Referencing and fact-checking were par for the course. But these days, anyone can put any information out there for the whole world to see, and increasingly people are accepting this information without thinking about it critically, or doing any fact-checking themselves.
Similarly, increasingly easy access to technology is giving everyone the ability to indulge creativity on a whim, regardless of whether they've actually put any prior effort into developing any of their creative skills. Suddenly anyone who downloads a crack of Photoshop and cuts a few animé pictures from art on the web, sticks it on a background and blurs some pixels is celebrated as an artist on deviantart. And people's perception of what's good and what isn't is naturally being dragged down because of this flood of crap that's being celebrated as good.
Great art has always been outnumbered by poor art. But I don't think we've ever experienced an age where the crap is praised as much as it is today, simply because we've never before had a platform that's made so much crap available to everyone until very recently. What started as the information superhighway has turned into something else, something uglier. Of course the web still has many advantages, and I think these do outweigh the negatives, but we cannot ignore this increasing tide that's skewed the signal to noise ratio.
