North Georgetown overpowers rivals
-records tumble on final day
By Emmerson Campbell
The rain at the Providence National Stadium did not put a damper on yesterday's events as Stephan James and other athletes set the track ablaze with their record breaking performances which saw North Georgetown triumphing.
One day after smashing Keith Roberts' decade-old 200-metre record, James, the 2012 under-23 400m South America's bronze medallist broke former national athlete, Tai Payne's 10-year-old 400-metre under-20 record en route to winning his third gold medal of this year's 52nd annual National Schools Cycling, Swimming and Track and Field Championships which culminated yesterday.
James, who also won the 100-metre event on Wednesday, completed the sweep of the three sprint events yesterday when he ran a blistering 49.8 seconds to break Payne's quarter-mile record by one hundredth of a second.
The 19-year-old sprint sensation's performances coupled with other outstanding runs from his District 11 mates, enabled North Georgetown to regain the Champions of Champions trophy from last year's winner, District 10, Upper Demerara Kwakwani.
North Georgetown amassed 72 points. Upper Demerara Kwakwani was second with 65 points while District Three, West Demerara, finished third on 51 points.
North Georgetown also won the Swimming and the Teachers' Championships, while Upper Demerara won the Track and Field. District Six, Corentyne, rode off with the Cycling Championships.
The following are the athletes who rewrote the record books yesterday with their outstanding performances:
District 10's Cassie George under 14 girls 400-metre (one minutes, two seconds), District 11's Jevina Sampson under 16 girls 400-metre (58.8 seconds), District Four, East Coast Demerara's Jason Yaw under 16 boys 400-metre (51.8 seconds), District 15, New Amsterdam's Melissa Byass under 18 girls 400-metre (one minute) and District 10's Shaquille Smart under-18 boys 400-metre (51.3 seconds).
At the completion of yesterday's activities, President of the Guyana Teachers Union, (GTU) Colin Bynoe praised the athletes and stated that he was elated that the championship was "a record breaking one".
According to Bynoe, a total of 30 records were shattered in the four-day event.
Bynoe also said that at the end of next week he will sit down with his team to short-list athletes for whom he would subsequently urge the government to pay special interest in as he is of the opinion that with support these athletes will represent Guyana at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.
2002 Commonwealth 400-metre gold medallist, Aliann Pompey, national 1500 and 5000-metre record holder Cleveland Ford and several former and active national athletes were in attendance.
Sponsors for the championships included Giftland Office Max under the Asics brand, Banks DIH Limited, Courts, DDL and the main sponsor Digicel.

As Simple As Snow by Gregory Galloway (2005)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I wasn't pleased that the author did not wrap up all the loose ends about minor characters.
I wasn't pleased that the author did not wrap up all the loose ends about minor characters.
Go get this book right now and read it, then report back. I'll be very interested to hear what you have to say. This is not your average young adult novel. Certainly the main characters are teenagers, and there is some angst, but it's not overdone. In fact, it's rather tasteful and sort of tangential to the plot, so you can look past it if that sort of thing bothers you. Pay attention when you read this book. I did, but I still didn't exactly know what happened when I got to the end. There are hints and clues and codes swirling together in a maddeningly teasing way all pushing you forward through the story, hungry for revelations and enlightenment, which may or may not come. You may find yourself frustrated at the end. You may not. I'm still a bit confused myself.
On the surface: Small town. New family arrives. Strange girl in said family exhibits odd behavior, such as writing detailed obituaries of everyone in town. Plain boy drawn to girl. Relationship is intense and full of mystery. Girl disappears. Disturbing events follow. Boy thinks girl is trying to contact him from some unknown location. Uncertain time passes. Resolution?
Below the surface: Alphanumeric codes. Houdini. Mail art. Mediums and psychic connections. Trickery. Small town intrigue. Family secrets. Misconceptions. Illusion. Deception. Allusions and predictions. Friendship and love. Time and how it manifests itself.
alex award scott brick 18 earphone, 2003 audie golden voice 2004 awards
i got this because i like scott brick. this was a good "listen". unfortunately the author has another book which is not on cd.
Wonderful book. Thoughtful writing and creative characters. I would love to give this book 5 stars, but not knowiing the name of the main chaaracter (______ G_____) takes away from the plot.
I was also very disapointed that the book didn't have a solution to the reason Anna left. It ends with G______ leaving his hometown, but he never finds out what happened to Anna or Carl.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399152318, Hardcover)A mesmerizing labyrinth of art, magic, cryptic codes, and young love that sparks the imagination and teases the mind-an arresting first novel about a young man's quest to unravel the puzzle his missing girlfriend may (or may not) have left behind.
Anastasia (Anna) Cayne is a complicated high school girl with a penchant for riddles and affectionate mind games, who spends much of her time writing obituaries for every living person in town. She is unlike anyone the narrator has ever known, and her energy and enthusiasm explode his quiet universe, revealing a world of Houdini tricks, strange art, covert messages, and ghost stories-although her past remains an even bigger enigma. Even so, he couldn't be happier.
But a week before Valentine's Day, Anna disappears, leaving behind nothing except a dress placed neatly near a hole in the frozen river, and a string of unanswered questions.
Determined to find Anna-to comprehend what happened, and why-he begins to retrace their past five months together. Soon the fragments of events, conversations, and letters (and new messages that continue to arrive) coalesce into haunting and surprising revelations about friends, about family, and especially, about Anna Cayne. And perhaps these revelations will solve the puzzle of Anna's disappearance, whether it was her own invention, or is simply another of life's great mysteries.

POF Ambi Bolt Catch Release
Posted Jul. 31 2011 - 06:03 PM
Posted Jul. 31 2011 - 07:29 PM
I had a similar problem.....I swapped the bolt catch from one of my other rifles and it worked perfectly. I put the bolt catch that was on the POF and put it on my other rifle. It worked perfectly So I swapped them back... the original problem on the POF returned. I compared the two bolt catches and couldn't see any difference so I swapped them back to the opposite rifles...it worked perfectly... Needless to say I left them and have had zero problems from either rifle.......go figure
I have a POF 415 Gen 3 Lower, although the ambi release doesn't move enough to actuate the bolt catch out of the way. I used a RRA LPK and the kit from POF. Need some help, any ideas would be appreciated.

This is a discussion on Deer hunters let's hear from you! within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Tomorrow is opening day of modern firearms season in Kentucky. So as I have been preparing and double checking all my gear, I thought it ...
Tomorrow is opening day of modern firearms season in Kentucky. So as I have been preparing and double checking all my gear, I thought it would be fun to hear from others.
Share with us your chosen gun, caliber, hunting method, location and terrain, meat processing method or any other tidbits of fun information you wish.
I will be hunting on my own land in eastern Ky, which is very thick with hardwoods like white and red oak, hickory, walnut, beech, and poplar, with a few areas of pine.
It's very hilly, and steep, with many flats as you go up.
I will be using a climbing stand, situated over heavily used doe trails, in a position that let's me see the top of the hill and about 70 yards beneath me.
I'll set up with my stand facing the west side of the tree so the sun will not hinder my vision as it comes up.
My chosen firearms are the 270 Win with hand loads and the Colt 45 ACP for anything within 40 yards. The Colt will be loaded with my hand loads of a 225 grain TC lead bullet at 900 fps.
I will do all of my own meat processing.
Ok, your turn!
" Blessed is that man, who when facing death, thinks only of his front sight"
-Jeff Cooper
"I've noticed that everyone that is pro-abortion has already been born." - Ronald Reagan
"When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." Thomas Jefferson
You are only paranoid until you are right - then you are a visionary.
TN here, and tomorrow morning is opening day for MUZZLELOADER. Will use a Thompson break action muzzleloader. Thats a step up from the Thompson kit gun New Englander model, that I started out on decades ago. Leupold 2 x 7 scope.
I will be hunting essentially the same terrain as you, glockman. I will either use a summit viper climbing stand, or a popup ground blind. Im leaning towards the ground blind.
For modern rifle season, I will be using a new rig. A Tikka T3 chambered in .270, with a redfield 4 X 12 scope.
Shotguns and large handguns are all we are allowed to use in Ohio during gun season. I have an eighty-acre field along a river in its ninth year of a set-aside program, so I have plenty of deer. I generally get a large doe, and process it with a buddy's help. It fills my freezer, his freezer and a couple more for people I try to look out for. No, we don't have large freezers.
I use a 12-guage Mossy slug gun fitted with a muzzle-loader scope, and load it with Winchester sabots.
I set up on the ground along a fence row. If nothing is shaking there, I have a couple more spots I set up along the river, also on the ground. Flat terrain, four foot grass after they get beyond the mowed filter strips/fire breaks.
"I'm set up to play a game right now. However, I doubt most people would want to get into a gun fight with me."
Rob Leatham
Our terrain is right at the base of the mountains and the start of the desert. I use a 30-30 lever action gun it is short and easy to get in the brush. I process the meat here as with the farm animals we raise for meat. Our season is closed and the rut has yet to start. We have diminishing deer heards because we can't thin the forest tree huggers you know.
I coat my venison steaks with mayonnaise and fry them on very high setting. This keeps the meat moist and the mayonnaise makes a nice crust on the outer part of the meat. All the trimmings are made into jerky or smoked for a pemmican snack.
Good luck to you I was skunked this year.
I hunt on property near me. Its about 150 acres. I use a .270 Remington 760 pump action. The terrain is hilly, and somewhat choked with brush, and the longest shot I would have to take is 100 yards.
I typically ground hunt and post up near a spot where several trails converge in a valley.
I process my own meat.

worked on my spot yesterday and today. Of course deer were standing within 20 yrds thumbing for a ride on the four wheeler all over the place at mid day. In the morning of course they will be waving at me from 400 yards away and snickering lol.
Eastern Ky also. SKS 124 gr hollow points iron sights. SW9VE sidearm with 124 gr pdx 1 just cuz it always goes with me every place.
Have always done my own butchering, wrapping etc. Not a antler hunter (did that got some big racks and how many horns does a guy really need) as we love venison better than beef.
Good luck to everyone.
You dont have to believe a train is coming. Itll run over you anyway.
Our Kansas rifle season opens in a few days less than a month. I did not hunt the muzzle loader or bow season this year so I have not been out yet!
The big farm we have hunted the last few years is full of BIG KANSAS WHITETAILS! We use haybales for blinds,we drive steel fence posts into the ground & turn the square bales long ways & wire them to the fence posts.
My buck last year was 265 yards (lazer ranged) away crossing at first light from the praire grass bedding area across the harvested corn field into a large woodlot.
Our shots are all 200 yards or better. I shoot a Ruger 77 30/06 with a 180 grain Nosler & a hatfull of Reloader 22.
The other two hunters use a .270 Win. short mag the other a .300 Weatherby. Not sure about there loads.
Nothing quite like a deer hunt! Good Luck, Have Fun, Be Safe!
I deer hunt in Ohio and PA. I do a lot of archery hunting but if the tags aren't filled then to the gun I go.
In Ohio it's shotgun only so I use a Savage 220 bolt action 20 gauge shotgun and Remington copper solid sabot slugs.
In PA I use a few different rifles, whatever strikes my fancy. This year I'll be using a brand new Browning A Bolt in 7mm-08. I topped it with a Nikon Monarch 2-8X32 scope. It shoots like a dream with just about anything. I'm using 140 grain accubond handloads at around 2700fps.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
ML opener is tomorrow where I hunt. I'll be headed out with a Remington Genisis inline. Contemplating taking my bow as well. Lately I'm more confident in my bow than my ML. I've got a bow rack at my feet and can hang the ML from the bow rack on my left side.
I've picked up 2 with my bow so far. I need 2 more to get through to next season. I process all my own too.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!
"Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun. And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son." Josh Thompson "Way Out Here"
I admittedly suck as a hunter. 'Raised in the suburbs (my dad didn't hunt), I embraced my redneck roots late in life.
We have a large tract up in Greenwood with ponds and creeks, that is crawling with every type of wildlife imaginable. It's some of the most beautiful land I've ever seen (second only to West Virginia). Mike Waddell filmed a junior turkey shoot there last year (sadly, I was too busy with work stuff to even attend the event). Another buddy of mine is an amazing hunter and woodsman, and has taken me under his wing in instructing me in the ways of the wild. I still don't have the eyes to see the things that he does in the woods. If I see it, I can hit it (usually with a Marlin 30-30), but I usually don't have a clue as to what's going on around me. Fortunately, my buddy keeps my freezer stocked for me, regardless of my success level for that season.

I was getting all my deer hunting stuff ready, gun sighted in, clothes packed. However fate stepped in changed my plans. Climbing into bed on Thurs. night something popped in my knee , an emergency run and a MRI later I tore some ligiments in my knee.
I was heading up to Big Fork, MN in the Chippewa National Forest with a few friends. Oh well, maybe next year.
Now I have to figure out a way to get to the range and see if they have a chair I can sit on so I can get my shooting fix.
Good luck all and be safe.

Word of the Day, November 26, 2013
" Oh - we bring the Kingdom come, Oh - with every act of love. Jesus help us carry You Alive in us, Your light shines through. With every act of love. We bring the Kingdom come."
II Corinthians 4:7-9
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Paul tells us here that we have the treasure of God, love, grace, glory, the light and knowledge of Christ and the understanding of His word in us as believers. This is in us and not of us. We are nothing as human without Christ in our lives.
In the wilderness under the old covenant, God's presence was in a tent, however in the New Testaments and today He dwells in the believer's heart. This is a unspoken true and forms the basis for a Christ like life. But we need to remember that stress is only here on earthen. The power of God resides in the gospel that is not a product of human genius or clever intellect. Yet it resides in men's hearts, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. This should give us peace daily.
Paul had a thorn in his side and he was hard pressed from side to side and it may have been apparent that he struggled from time to time and even though Christians had trouble in their life then and today he still knew the excellency of the power of God. Paul had been stoned in Lystra and left outside the city for dead and pursued by hostile Jews and they certainly stirred up trouble for him wherever he went, but yet he still survived and he lived through Christ.
With Christ in our lives we can look upward to Him when troubles come to us. We do have troubles in our lives, but we are not in distress with Christ guiding us. We may be filled with uncertainty or having difficulty but with Christ we will not be in despair. We should never be despairing of His power and His grace and love to carry us through to the other side of our troubles or distress.
Paul was pursued from village to village, put in prison, threatened with severe torturing, stoned and eventually death itself for the Gospel of Christ. However Paul knew that our God never leaves us nor forsakes us. Like a clay vessel, we may be cast down and broken into little peace and sometimes foiled by satan and sin, yet we will not be destroyed. Maybe on earth, but we have eternal rewards with Christ in heaven forever.
" This world has nothing for me. This life is not my own. I know you go before me and I am not alone. This mountain rises higher. This way seems so unclear, but I know that you go with me. I will trust in you. We will not be shaken! "
Timothy Furness

The music you choose for your wedding really sets the tone for the day. An expert DJ or band can assist you in creating a playlist that suits your style, but it really depends on your personal musical taste, and that of your spouse and guests. In our new WinterBook, we compiled a list of tips for creating your playlist, and also asked several music pros to provide some unique playlist ideas.

There are a number of ways of how to get to Phillip Island, but it is really geared to driving your own car.
Car – from Melbourne, take the Monash Freeway (M1) - remember that the section of freeway between the city and Toorak Road is a toll road.
At Heatherton Road, look for the signs to Phillip Island and the Mornington Peninsula, then exit for the South Gippsland Freeway/Highway (M420) to Cranbourne, avoid roads to Pakenham and later to Hastings.
Continue through Cranbourne and shortly past Lang Lang go straight ahead onto the Bass Highway (A420) where the South Gippsland Highway veers left to Korumburra and Leongatha.
The Bass Highway takes you through Grantville and past Bass.
Just outside Bass follow the signs to Phillip Island on the new link road which opened in December 2013.
The Phillip Island Tourist Road will take you through San Remo, over the bridge, through Newhaven and on to Cowes.
Distance from Melbourne to Phillip Island is about 130km to the bridge at San Remo, plus 16km to Cowes. Travel time will be traffic dependant but 1:45 hour should cover it.
An alternative route is via the Princes Freeway.
Instead of turning off for the South Gippsland Highway continue along the Monash Freeway until the exit to Koo Wee Rup (road C422).
Turn onto the South Gippsland Highway after following the signs through Koo Wee Rup township.
This route is basically the same distance and time-wise as via Cranbourne.
I prefer to drive via Cranbourne to avoid the narrow one lane each way road between the Princes Freeway and Koo Wee Rup.
Coach – V-Line coach runs daily between Melbourne (Southern Cross Station Coach Terminal) and Cowes, taking about 2.5 hours, a little less on weekends.
Or you could catch the coach at the Dandenong Station. There are four coaches each way Monday to Friday and two on each of Saturday and Sunday.
Weekend coaches are wheelchair friendly but not all are during the week.
On the island, coaches stop at Newhaven, Surf Beach, Sunderland Bay, Sunset Strip, Smiths Beach and Wimbledon Heights before arriving at the Cowes terminus, at the corner of Chapel Street and Thompson Avenue, right in the middle of town!
Cost is
$11.70 each way. Ring V-Line on 136 196 for more details.
Ferry – Inter Island Ferry runs between Stony Point on the Mornington Peninsula to Cowes every day, subject to weather and bay conditions.
There are three trips each day (morning, noon and late afternoon) except that Monday, Wednesday and Friday don't have the noon trip but Friday also has an additional evening trip.
At Stony Point the ferry leaves from very close to the train station (Stony Point to Melbourne). Services are co-ordinated to facilitate train/ferry links.
The ferry arrives at the Cowes wharf at the bottom of Thompson Avenue, handy to the centre of town.
times are half an hour and cost $12 each way. Ring them at 03 9585 5730 for
more details or bookings.
Now you know how to get to Phillip Island, read on to find out how to get around if you aren't driving.
Getting around Phillip Island
Other than your own car, there are a number of options to get around the island:
Bus services
Car rental
Available from Phillip Island Holiday Hire on 03 5952 5402.

Access Statement (or what wonderful facilities we have here!)
Disabled facilities
We have a certain amount of disabled play equipment and facilities. Every effort has been made to allow reasonable access to the park, however the upper woodland area, where the play structures are located, is naturally sloping and needs to be assessed as to individual needs.
Our BeWILDerboats
You can take prams and buggies on to our BeWILDerboats however it's a little bit more tricky with wheelchairs. So, there's an alternative route that you can use to enter the park - our Treacherous Trail - which is just as magical as the boat ride (and it gets you up and close to the Twiggle houses!)
We don't accept dogs but we can recommend a local kennel
Sorry, no dogs (except guide dogs) - Twiggles are scared of them! However, we get a lot of enquiries from holiday makers who bring their dogs on holiday, so we recommend two kennels: If you're coming from the South or West then Crostwick Boarding Kennels is best. They're a 12 minute drive away from us (approx. 6.7 miles). Give them a call on 01603 737240 and speak to Jane. If you are coming from the North or East we recommend using Broadland Cattery who are 9.7 miles from us (17 mins away). Call Lesley on 01692 580202.
Ticket Office
You can purchase your ticket upon arrival however, to avoid queuing and ensure speedy entry into the park you can book online.
Great food outlets
There are 3 outlets dotted around BeWILDerwood to de-hungerise hungry families. Have a look at our Food & Drink section to find out more.
Picnic areas and lots of seating
All over the place. But to be more specific, we have seating dotted around the main structures of the park. Some comfy so you can sit and watch if you get tired. Some uncomfortable wooden seats so you get back out playing as soon as possible! All 3 food outlets have seating as well, however the Munch Bar seating area is specifically for Munch Bar customers only.
There are 2 blocks inside BeWILDerwood and 1 block in the car park (Follow the wee signs around the park to find them!).
Baby changing
Facilties are available at 2 of our 3 toilets blocks (the block near the Munch Bar and the block in the car park).
Park Rangers on site (otherwise known as The Twiggle Team!)
To help you find what you need, round up lost kids and ensure fair play throughout.
First Aid facilities
Nee Nar Nee Nar... If you hurt yourself and need help, look out for a member of the Twiggle Team who will make sure you get mended and back out playing as soon as possible! The majority of the team have been first aid trained so you're never too far away from someone who can help.
Loads of free parking
We have plenty of FREE parking, including designated disabled and coach parking, right by our door.
Great shop
Home of the strange, the wild and the weird, our Bizarre Bazaar is the shop to beat all shops. Come in, explore and enjoy. From the tiniest of Twiggle Door treats to the funkiest of fun things, we have something for everyone.
Being a natural woodland site shelter from the sun and rain is everywhere. Our canvas sail covers offer further cover from the sun and rain.
Smoking areas
Twiggles don't like smoking (because it stains your teeth and makes your breath smell) so you are only permitted to smoke in the car park.
Public telephones
There are no public telephones within BeWILDerwood (all Twiggles and Boggles visit each other rather than calling!). However in cases of real emergency we can dial out to the real world.
Cash points
Twiggles use a currency called 'Bobletts' so there are no real world cash points within BeWILDerwood. The nearest cash point facility is in Wroxham. BeWILDerwood does not provide a cashback facility however cards are accepted throughout the park.
The Norfolk Broads Cycling Centre
The Norfolk Broads Cycling Centre is located in the car park at BeWILDerwood. You can hire quality bikes and tandems from Broadland Cycle Hire and obtain all the information you need to enjoy a pleasant ride along the country lanes around the park. Please note that bicycles are not permitted in BeWILDerwood.

Song Bird Feeder
A Large Feeder for Backyard Bird Feeding
19 1/2" tall.
Accommodates six feeding song birds at one time.
Squirrel Proof: They try, but they can't retrieve seeds from the 1"
diameter by 3/4" deep holes and eventually give up. 1"
diameter hole keeps bullying from larger birds to a minimum.
Easy Filling: Just slide the roof up and pour the bird seed in the
top. Durable 3/4" thick Pine and corrosion resistant screw construction.
Winter time is when birds need help finding food, especially during
severe weather. Constant feeding is their sole source of energy and
Sunflower seeds are a premium feed as they are a high energy
and nutritious food source, leave less waste than some other seeds and
attract popular bird species including Finches, Chickadees, Nuthatches and
Finches have specially adapted bills for cracking seeds
Chickadees and Nuthatches snatch seeds and fly to another
perch where they peck the seeds open while holding them with their feet.
Assembly required (see instructions and plans below).
Securely suspend feeder where predators cannot sneak up on
feeding birds and where it can be easily reached for safe refilling.

World AIDS Day: Finding Hope in the Figures
Today is World AIDS Day... and here in the city, that means the annual reading of the names of those lost to the disease.
The 24-hour vigil is taking place at City Hall Park.
Also, the lights of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Arch in Washington Square Park will be turned off tonight in observance.
An estimated 20,000 New Yorkers don't know they're infected with HIV –- out of the 100,000 locals living with the disease. The city has more HIV/AIDS than any place in the country, and here it's the third leading cause of death for people under 65. About 4,000 new cases were diagnosed last year. That number has held steady, despite the city's Health Department circulating free condoms and discouraging risky behaviors.
But looked at another way there might be some hope in the figures, released today. HIV testing has increased dramatically, which most health leaders consider a positive development. And with more and more people getting screened, you would expect new diagnoses to increase. So the flat number could actually indicate progress.

Our Family is Complete BG
Started by ~A2~ , May 29 2009 03:05 PM

Posted 29 May 2009 - 03:05 PM
Hi everyone.
Just thinking out loud on this really and looking to see who is interested.
After the recent closing of the Completed Families section I have started up a a couple of BG's where are a little slow (1 child families, 2 children families, 3 children families)
Sooo..... I am wondering if one Buddy Group would be better.
Whether you have 1 child or 4 if you family is complete then this Buddy Group is for you.
Come in and chat about anything. (well almost anything )
Anyone interested, post here if so.
Posted 03 June 2009 - 11:24 AM
Ok i will be the first to post that our family is complete for now this is not to say that once the kids are older that i won't look into fostering or Adoption but us having Bio children there will be no more.

Posted 05 June 2009 - 01:34 PM
I'll swing the other way!
I used to the Completed Families area (just noticed that it has disappeared!) and wonder if there might be the most need for a seperate group for the parents of only children? Some of them have onlys by choice but there are many others who have completed their families at 1 child for reasons beyond their control and are still struggling that they will be unable to have more kids. Lots of issues there...... the completed families with '1' child would be living quite a different life to the completed family of '4' children IYKWIM. Just my 2 cents worth.
Edited by BabyJoel, 05 June 2009 - 01:35 PM.
Posted 06 June 2009 - 01:28 PM
Thanks for everyone's posts so far.
I have started up threads for 1 Child, 2 Children and 3 Children families but they didn't get many posts in them which is why I posted here.
BabyJoel - I can find the link to the 1 child families if you want to start posting there, do you know other members who may be interested in it?
Will keep watching, everyone else seems to want to post in this thread, would that be right? Happy to revive the 1 Child one and keep this one if that suits everyone the most.
Back soon
ETA: I have bumped up the 1 Child families thread again.
Posted 06 June 2009 - 02:01 PM
Hi Ali,
As a mod, I can imagine it would be hard to work out where to place and what to call new groups, I don't envy your position!!
Hopefully (fingers and legs crossed) I won't need the support of the 1 Child only Completed Families Group but I know that I it heaps when TTC #2 and feeling emotional about having an only child but wishing things were different. I don't think the threads got much traffic but the Mums with 1 child only who did make it there gave really good advice on how they'd dealt with accepting the reality of having only one child, when for most of them the choice had been taken out of their hands. Of course, there are those like me who had one and were still trying for more and some Mums would no doubt not go back to the thread if they became pregnant but IMHO there's probably the most need for a place for the Mum's with just one. Whether they're there by choice or chance their lifestyles would be different to the majority here on EB who have 2 or more kids and I imagine they'd have lots of support/advice to give to Mums of other only children.
Just see if there's any more responses I guess?
Edited by BabyJoel, 06 June 2009 - 02:03 PM.
Posted 14 June 2009 - 11:33 AM
BabyJoal~As Ali said there is a thread that is set up for parents of only children as you are right it is different raising an only child compared to having 2 or 3 or more.
I suppose there is a difference to being complete by choice and complete by circumstance.
Posted 10 July 2009 - 05:52 PM
I only just worked out that the forum I had subscribed was not appearing on my list. Hence I have not commented.
I think many in the one child families group may be similar.
I liked having a 1 child family group
Posted 10 July 2009 - 06:13 PM
JRA - There is still a one child family group and a link was placed in the last thread in the Completed Families section, sorry if your notifications did not tell you it was there.
If you like I can pm members of the group and let them know although I am sure if they went back to the last thread they would know.
Posted 27 July 2009 - 11:38 AM
just bring it back to the first page incase anyone else would like tostart posting in this thread.
cheers Emily
Posted 19 September 2009 - 07:57 PM
Ive completed my family, after having 4 kids I made sure they fixed me when the bonnet was open.
Would love to find a nice group of people to chat to.
Im Teresa and Im a mum to 3 boys and a girl. We live in Sydney.
Posted 09 November 2009 - 06:39 PM
Another here who is finished.
DP and I have a nearly-three-year-old daughter. I have had another child - who turns seven soon - but she chose to live with my ex and they don't live nearby so DD2 is basically an only child. We're done with our family. We live in Sydney.
I have the referral for a gynae for a tubal sitting on my desk waiting for our crazy Christmas plans to be done with (there might be only 3 of us - but DPs family is huge with a huge amount of little kids!) so I can ensure no accidents mess things up (unlikely though, given that I'm on depo which has always been failsafe for me).
Anyways just giving this thread a bump to see if anyone else is around.
Posted 16 November 2009 - 07:21 PM
Yeah, I'm still around.
I'm in Melbourne, have 2 kids - 8yo DD & DS who turns 1 on Friday.
Posted 13 February 2012 - 09:08 AM
Hi everyone.
I realise this group is an old one but I am reopening it at a members request.
Please post and introduce yourself if the group is of interest to you.
Posted 13 February 2012 - 09:48 AM
Thanks Ali!

I feel like having babies/ttc/pregnancy has been a part of my life for so long, that now Im feeling a little strange?? I dont want anymore children, but at the same time, its sort of like, well, now what? I am kept very busy, 3 in school, but I still wonder how long it will take me to move on from that mindset of having babies etc.
Im still breastfeeding our youngest, who is almost 16 months now - he is the oldest out of all the them to still be feeding. He still loves it, & Im in no rush to wean.
DH had the snip last June, it wasnt an easy descision, one that we ummed & ahhed over for a few years. I decided to use my head & not my heart. Right now we are in a small house, & adding more children just isnt practical. We dont live near family, so theres no daily/weekly support from them helping out. So it came down to both of us saying, its just too hard, we hardly have enough time for the older kids, & school work, outside activities, let alone fun all together time, so we dont need anymore kids. IF we waited til we get into a bigger house, it could be years, & ideally I wouldnt want a large age gap between the kids, so no more, all done!
I felt quite emotional the day we heard the results. Wow. So final. Now we are set to move again, into a smaller house ( crazy I know....its through DH's work, we will be paying minimal rent, while we rent out our house...pay off the mortgage, then buy a big house on big land... ) & its time to sort through things.....including the baby things!!
Ive been waiting for my brother to have a baby, as I really would love to help them out. We were the first out of both sides of the family to have kids, & have never had anyone to give us hand me downs, it has been pretty exy to buy everything....so Ive been holding onto these things in the hope of passing them along! DH's sisters have each other for that kind of thing...but Im waiting waiting waiting for my little bro to start his family! Theres minimal storage in the new house,what to do with all these teeny clothes?!
DD started highschool this year. Wow! Its a whole new era, we're both enjoying all the new things that go with it so far. She was feeling so sick of primary school, & feeling too 'mature' for the system there! DS2 also started kindy, thats been a big adjustment. He is a really loud full on boisterous, energetic kinda kid, who could be a bit of a handful, so having him at school 5 days a week has been so different. I had been busting for him to go, as some days I felt like I was going crazy, but now he is there, I feel a bit sad!! ( crazy isnt it?! ) He is growing up too.
Theres so many things Im looking forward to doing with my kids getting a bit older. Simple things like gardening,hobbies/craft, that I just havent been able to start, as theres always been a little baby/toddler around. DH is a cop, does alot of nighshifts, so its all over the place with when he is home. Im just flat out getting all the 'must-do' things done, without being able to start on something fun, just for me.
I havent worked in years, & thats another thing playing in the back of my mind. Should I work again? What would I do? It would have to be in school hours, never weekends, or holidays. Being at home can be isolating. Id like to go out & do something for a bit of money, to keep my mind busy, to be around other adults, & to have some variety in the monotony of motherhood. Having said all that, I dont want it to interfere with anything, & I never want to be 'too busy' to be there for the kids!! Something to think about anyway, Im in no rush, ideally when the youngest is in preschool/school.
Anyway, love to hear all about others & their lives
Chat soon,

We would fit into this group too. We have 4 the youngest being 6months and we are done!
Have a referral for hubby to get the snip.
Love love love the baby stage and would have more of those but don't want any more kids (which of course you can't have them stay babies!)
I am also happy with our even number after being a family of 5 for 7.5 years adding another baby certainly was an adjustment!

Summerstar - Ditto! Love being pregnant ( I loved my belly, the whole thing...well mostly! ) And also just LOVE babies....always got me into have more- cluck cluck! But yes, dont want more 'kids' lmao!!! Good luck for DH, its a 'freeing' feeling I find. I hope it goes smooth for him, my DH had a rough time, wouldnt recommend it to anyone ( but he had some scar tissue around that area, so that didnt help! )
Hope to chat more

It is essential when selecting your suppliers that you choose those that not only offer you the best prices, but also the best service. Some companies that have achieved ISO9000 accreditation will deal only with companies that are also accredited, seeing the quality symbol as an indication of a 'quality' company. Others might have a list of criteria that a supplier must meet before they will purchase from them.
Should you receive a request for goods that none of your regular suppliers can fulfil, then you need to identify suitable sources. Generally, you would draw up a shortlist of possibles and send each a request to quote for the order. Your list could be compiled from the following sources:
When choosing which quotation to accept, you might compare commercial aspects such as price, discounts, payment terms or delivery dates, and particularly with lucrative orders you might also visit the suppliers' premises. Once your decision is made, you would add the supplier to your approved list.
It is important that you regularly evaluate all suppliers, not just new ones, and monitor their performance. The types of things to measure would include:
It is up to you to determine what is acceptable and what is not; given the choice between a company which is cheap, delivers on time, rarely sends defective goods but whose staff are surly and unhelpful, and one whose prices are average, which usually delivers on time, rarely sends defective goods and whose staff are very pleasant and helpful, which would you plump for?
You might determine a scoring or rating strategy, perhaps weighted in such a way that those elements that you consider most important score more highly than those less important to you. You might set upper and lower levels of acceptable performance, so highlighting suppliers that deviate from the norm. Whatever you do, you must have some sort of system for evaluating performance.

Welcome to Valley View Schools Special Education Department. Kevin Phillips is the Special Education Coordinator and he can be reached at email@example.com or at (937)855-6581, Ext. 228. He can also be reached through Lisa Minton, the Special Education Secretary, at (937)855-6581, Ext. 240, who works the early morning hours.
Additional services provided through the Montgomery County Educational Service Center (MCESC) include a K-12 school psychologist (Kaitlyn Lang – email@example.com or 855-6581, Ext. 243) and a Preschool School Psychologist (Denise Kovacs - firstname.lastname@example.com or 855-4203, Ext. 273), as well as two part-time Speech/Language Pathologists and a part-time Adapted Physical Education Teacher. The district also contracts with the State Support Team Region 10 (SST10) for other supports as needed such as audiology, hearing intervention, orientation and mobility, and other related services. For assistance, please contact us at one of the phone numbers or email addresses listed above.
Thank you.
The special education department serves approximately 250 students who have been identified as having disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA 2004). Services are provided in accordance with Ohio's Operating Standards for Children with Disabilities and the Special Education Model Policies and Procedures.
School age students, ages 5-21, who qualify for special education services, under IDEIA, are identified as having disabilities in the following areas: Autism, Deaf-Blind, Emotional Disturbance, Hearing Impairment, Intellectually Disabled, Multiple Disabilities, Orthopedic Handicapped, Other Health Impairment, Specific Learning Disabilities, Speech/Language Impairment, Traumatic Brain Injury, Visually Impaired. Preschool students can be identified with these same disabilities and the additional category of Developmental Delay can also be considered.
Special education services for each student with disabilities are written into each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP). Services may be provided in a variety of settings, with the goal being to educate each student in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE); which means providing services in the regular classroom environment to the maximum extent possible.
Preschool children with disabilities, beginning on their third birthday, are entitled to the same type of services as are school age students. Preschool students can be served in a center based delivery model or an itinerant delivery model with a visiting teacher. Questions concerning this program should be addressed to Kimm Hackworth at (937) 855-6581.
Each building operates under an Intervention Model to help determine if a disability exists. Our high school primarily utilizes an Intervention Assistance Team to help teachers design and document the use of interventions in their classrooms. Our K-8 buildings are using Response to Intervention model to help provide individual learning experiences in the form of classroom and small group interventions. These interventions are designed by the building RTI team to positively impact the student's educational program by enhancing his/her chances to make progress in the general curriculum. Screeners are in place to look at all children to determine the need for tiered intervention. However, parents who have concerns about their child's educational progress should contact their child's principal or classroom teacher to discuss those concerns.
Sometimes the interventions designed by the IAT/RTI team are not enough to meet the needs of an individual student. Based upon the student's response to the interventions or the student's apparent need for special instruction, the student may be referred for an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education. In such cases, the school psychologist will become involved and relevant data will be collected including the various interventions tried and the results of those interventions. If the information seems to warrant it, a meeting is held and a building team, including the student's parents, meets to determine if the student is suspected of having a disability. If that is the case, parent permission is received and the process for a multi-factored evaluation is started. After completion of this evaluation, the team (including the parent) reconvenes to determine if the child meets legal criteria for eligibility for a specific disability. If the child meets eligibility criteria, the team (including the parent) will develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) with specific goals and objectives, specialized services, accommodations as needed, and a determination of where the services will be provided for the child.
Any Parent who may suspect their child, birth through 21, has a disability, should call the Valley View School Special Education Director, at 937-855-6581 ext. 228.
For special education or psychological records, please contact Lisa Minton at (937) 855-6581 ext. 240 before 10:30 a.m. or email her at email@example.com . She will need the date of birth of the person you are requesting records for, and that person will need to come in and sign a "Release of Records" in order to get copies.
You can find the "Whose Idea Is This" booklet and more information on the Ohio Dept. of Education website at www.ODE.state.oh.us .
Parent Notification of Scholarship Programs for Students with Disabilities
Your child may be eligible for a scholarship under the Autism Scholarship Program or the Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship Program to attend a special education program that implements the child's individualized education program and that is operated by an alternative public provider or by a registered private provider.

Smoke makes him anxious
42 Attachment(s)
I've really never had a problem with Kaiju being afraid of pretty much anything before. I can't remember if I saw this behavior in my old house...maybe a little bit but it is much more pronounced in the smaller space.
When there is a good amount of smoke coming from my kitchen (like tonight when I was reseasoning my cast iron skillet) Kaiju gets extremely anxious. He starts panting quite a bit and doesn't get like terrified or anything, but definitely anxious. He occasionally whines, paces the apartment, and comes and nudges my hand (his "there's something wrong, mom" gesture).
Has anyone ever experienced this before? What did you do about it?
At least I never have to worry about a fire sneaking up on me, I suppose. :rolleyes:
I don't know how you cook :) just kidding lol But in all seriousness, Gunther does this when I have my fire pit going outside. Sometimes I move closer him to sit in the grass by him and calm him. Mostly I ignore his behavior and his desire to be with me brings him in. Not that any of that helps since one is outdoor intentional and one is indoor not intentional. But yeah, I go through it too. I think Kaiju is just doing his job. Good dog!!!!!!!!!!!

Athletics at Mercer
Mercer University is an NCAA Division I institution and competes in the Southern Conference. Mercer first fielded an athletic team in January 1892 when its football team played the University of Georgia in Athens. It was the first college football game played in the state and one of the first in the Southeast. Mercer, in the fall of that year, would defeat Georgia Tech in its first football game ever.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Mercer University Athletic Department is to develop well-rounded student-athletes academically, athletically and socially. The program is committed to integrity, sportsmanship and equal opportunity for all students and staff.

The indoor volleyball team saw 88 percent of its athletes named to the roll, while women's soccer saw 86 percent of its roster named. Overall, 12 of Mercer's 18 teams had at least 70 percent of their student-athletes listed on the roll.
The Southern Conference, which begins its 96th season of intercollegiate competition in 2016, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. Member schools, in addition to Mercer, include: The Citadel, East Tennessee State University, Furman, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Virginia Military Institute, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Over at Nieman Watchdog, Dan Froomkin summarizes a panel discussion of the media's failure to challenge the Bush administration's Iraq spin, including some suggestions for how to improve. Here's one of the best:
Acknowledge scoops by rival news organizations, then follow them up, like a relay team. "One of the things that I did in the book that I think maybe would be useful if people did more often just generally in daily reporting, was to give credit and follow up on other people's reporting," Mayer said, referring to "The Dark Side," her recent chronicle of the Bush administration's war on terror. "There is some kind of bias that editors have that if somebody else has broken a story, and you even acknowledge that they've broke the story… that you can't do your own version of it. And in fact, what it prohibits then, is following up and adding on…. It would have been better if the New York Times and Washington Post [had] said, 'What are these curveball stories?' and ran with it and took it further." Tom Rosensteil, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the panel's moderator, pointed out: "[T]hat's very much the model that scientists use in trying to investigate a problem, who do not work in large institutions but really sort of work as singular researchers in collaboration with each other."
It's been striking how much this hasn't happened over the past 8 years -- particularly to anyone who remembers how the Times and Post spent the Clinton era trying to one-up each other on the phony Whitewater story.

Thought i would star this thread for those of us that love Stargate. I am currently working on two SG1 uniforms,
I have two uniforms a green combat uniform and the black covert uniform. I managed to get a lot of the stuff from disposal stores and the rest from ebay, still saving to get the 2 jackets there is a guy in Poland that has them really cheap. Once I get them I can start sewing the patches on and the costume will be complete. I still have a few alterations to do to a few bits and pieces but here are a few pics from the weekend.
A very special thank you to Reactor Drone for letting me have access to his Stargate weapons they are awesome, and a very big thank you to starfire and kooky for taking the pics.
I will try and get pics of the individual pieces up later, as well as the black outfit when i can.

Film Company introduces new Super 8mm Film
By James DeRuvo (doddleNEWS)
Watching the long, slow death of Kodak has been painful. Having been forced into bankruptcy, and staving off speculation that Apple and Google will be in a bidding war for the lion's share of Kodak Patents, the company that was once synonymous with photography and filmmaking has secured almost a billion dollars in "junior debtor in possessing" financing, for exit financing that will enable them to reorganize and emerge from Chapter 11 by the Spring of 2013.
"The significance of this agreement for Kodak is that it establishes a clear path for our emergence as a stronger, more focused company. The significance for our customers, partners and suppliers around the world is that it solidifies our ability to continue to serve them, innovate for them and contribute to their success," said Antonio M. Perez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The financing comes in the form of nearly a half billion in new term loans, another $317 million in lien notes. The financing is contingent on Kodak being able to sell off it's digital imaging patent portfolio, which will go to auction and will allow heavyweights including Apple and Google to fight over them like vultures over a dead carcass. The critical component is that Kodak must get at least $500 billion for their imaging patents. If they fall short, the financing falls through.
Additionally, Kodak can convert up to $567 million of their loans into exit financing if they are able to resolve all their pension obligations in the UK and sell off their Kodak's Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses as well. What would be left after that? Well, mostly just the name, which Kodak plans to mirror what Polaroid has been doing, which was sold off and is not placed on everything from cameras to stereo speakers and more.
But Kodak is also looking to leverage a niche market of theirs that simply refuses to die … Super 8mm film. Kodak is announcing the release of Vision 3 50D Color Negative Super 8mm film beginning in January. It will join similar film stocks in 16mm and 35mm varieties, as well as Kodak Tri-X Black and White still camera film which Kodak continues to manufacture. The Vision 3 50D film is designed for low speed, bright ambient light conditions.
"There are a wide range of Super 8 users around the globe, and this gives them another stock for their toolbox," says Kodak's Mike Ryan, director of film technology for the Entertainment Imaging Division. "Now filmmakers turning to the small gauge format can take advantage of the finest grain motion picture technology on the market to craft the distinctive look they desire from a film captured image."
I know what you're thinking … in today's digital driven era, that sounds like a fool's errand. But Super 8mm film is still very popular with students, film programs, and every day users, and believe it or not, Hollywood still uses Super 8mm as well. The only challenge is finding a place to process it. Kodak stopped processing film in 2010 when the last batch of Kodachrome was processed in Parsons, Kansas.
