DEAR ABBY: My family has been keeping a secret from my grandmother. I have a 17-month-old daughter that she doesn't know exists. I wanted to tell my grandma from the start about her great-granddaughter (her first), but I am afraid to. My family thinks that telling her will cause too much stress on her. No one in the family takes my feelings into consideration.
I think my grandmother should know she's a great-grandma. The problem is, I don't know how to tell her. She's 90 years old. I'm afraid if I say something now, it really might be too stressful for her. Also, I'm afraid that if I reveal this secret, it will start a family feud.
I want a relationship with my grandma like I used to have. I cry every time I talk to her on the phone because I have to lie to her about my day-to-day life and why I can't come to see her. I am really starting to resent my family. Please help.-- SECRET MOMMY IN NEVADA
DEAR SECRET MOMMY: Your grandmother wasn't born yesterday; she's 90. I'm sure that in her decades of living she has seen plenty of life.
While she will probably be shocked that she was kept in the dark this long, I agree she should know the truth. She should also know that you love her, which is why you are telling her the news. She may or may not want to see her great-grandchild, but the choice should be hers.
DEAR ABBY: I'm in my 70s, married for 50 years. I worked outside the home for many years and earned retirement benefits. There have been many ups and downs in my life, for me personally as well as for members of my family. Of course, there have been good times, too. I feel blessed.
All my life I have been the "go-to girl" for my family as a daughter, sister, wife, mother and aunt for help or advice. I love them, but I'm tired. How do I retire my "crown" -- which has been overwhelming at times -- without hurting or alienating anyone?
There seem to be so many problems and only one of me. Many times I have felt stretched too thin, but now my health and energy are no longer what they once were. I'm reasonably healthy, but I'm very tired.
I value my Judeo/Christian belief of "doing unto others." Am I being selfish?-- GO-TO GIRL IN NEW MEXICO
DEAR GO-TO GIRL: Your mind and body are trying to tell you something important. I hope you will pay attention before your health suffers because it could if you don't start drawing the line.
There is nothing selfish or wrong about saying: "I love you, but I can't help you. I can't because I'm at a point in my life where I can't handle stress like I used to." And if the person doesn't get it, you should repeat it.
DEAR ABBY: I have a dear friend who I have been friends with for years. However, there is one thing I can't stand about her. It's her vulgar language. Every sentence that comes out of her mouth includes the F-word. She's not a soft-spoken individual, so others can hear her. It embarrasses me and makes me not want to be around her in public.
How can I tell her she embarrasses me when she talks that way?-- SOFT-SPOKEN FRIEND
DEAR FRIEND: Tell her in exactly the way you told me. It is kind, helpful and the truth. And please don't feel bad about doing so because you'll be doing your friend a favor.

1- WHY has this been kept a secret?? Do you plan to hide the baby from her until she dies? The time to tell her was 17 months ago. Tell her now.
2- Feel self important much?
3- "Hey, watch your mouth, there's kids around."
Was that so freaking hard!?

1 Grandma was 16 once too, so she wont be surprised that you got knocked up. Your family is embarassed, your granny can handle it.
2 Retire your crown?? How about you start by getting off your high horse?
3 Kids learn what they live, teach her how to talk without f*king using g*dam foul language.
#4 Jan 14, 2014
LW1: Tell your grandmother! She will handle this far better than your so-called parents did. I guarantee it! And go visit her now.
LW2: You can be helpful without taking on everyone else's stress.
LW3: This is a habit that is hard to break, but it would be in her best interest to clean up her act. Just tell her kindly.

1. Math time. Granny is 90. How old can mom or dad be? 60 give or take several years? That would make LW 30 give or take. Old enough to have a baby and be a responsible parent and old enough to know granny isn't so frail and decreppid that she will die when she finds out. Another theory......dad is much older than mom and granny is his mom. Which means he was a mommas boy who didn't leave the house until he was old enough to join AARP. That's the only way she could be a teenager that has to hide it.
2. Fake your death so they learn to solve their own problems. Go somewhere nice and relax.
3. My favorite work begins with f and ends in u c k. My favorite word is firetruck what did you think I was gonna say?

LW1: A child should not be some dark secret that you are embarrassed and ashamed of. Its not healthy for the child or anyone. Tell her.
LW2: What Abby said.
LW3: Tell her its so Gdamn off-putting when she is fing swearing all the fing time.

L1: It's time to start acting like an adult and taking the best interests of your child at heart. Introduce your child to your grandmother. Be the example you need to be and start by being truthful.
L2: I get it. Some people fix others. This LW has been in that mode all her life and everyone is used to it and now she doesn't know how to get out of it. Sometimes no help is the best help you can give. She should take up that mantra.
L3: She can't be all that close if you can't simply tell her you really hate when she talks that way.

LW1: Again, vital information is left out. WHY don't they want you to tell granny about your baby? I'm guessing s/he is the wrong skin color.
If this is something you know you'll regret, you should tell her.
LW2: You can start being a flake. Agree to help and then forget or show up late or do a crappy job. Then people will stop asking you for help.
Or you could just be honest with them.
LW3: You can tell her of course, but be prepared to lose a friend. It will be difficult for her to stop; it will be easier to stop hanging out with you.

Interesting take by squishy. So if granny's and old school 90 year old racist, what good would come from telling her. Doubt it would suddenly make her change. Keeping her out of the loop might be in lw's best interest
#10 Jan 14, 2014
I never thought of that! I was thinking that they are very traditional and the child was born out of wedlock. But you could be right about the baby's skin color. Regardless, I think it is ridiculous to treat a 90-year-old woman like she can't handle the information. In 90 years, Grandma has handled plenty. My own grandmother was completely capable of handling anything life threw at her. But I still say, other than being upset that this information was kept from her, she'll handle this just fine.

If I was the mother of that child, I wouldn't be so worried about granny but the baby and setting the tone as being the parent of that child and making decisions in the best interest of the child.

I can sorta speak from experience here. I'm pretty sure my grandma would NOT have been happy about the color of my husband's skin but I'm also pretty sure that she would have been totally smitten with my first child.
Babies can be magic like that.
#13 Jan 14, 2014
Grandma is 90 and the first great grandchild happened 17 months ago. If this was the maternal grandmother than would make mom 55 to 65 and make the lw 25-35. If that were the case lw would say screw you if you are ashamed of my baby being out of wedlock or a different race I will tell grandma whether you like it or not.
So, I am going with a theory that dad is her only surviving child and he is much older than the lws mom. It is the only way the lw could be young enough to have kept this a secret.
And I am willing to bet she may be already know. Wouldn't a family acquaitance spill the beans not knowing she doesn't know? And they are in Nevada. I'm sure she has come across many a show girl who got knocked up.
#14 Jan 14, 2014
If I was the mother of that child, there would be nobody who could talk me out of telling my beloved grandmother about her from the get, regardless of the color of her skin or the circumstances of her birth.

Oh, I'm not thinking you'd (or anyone on here) would keep it from grandma. It was something that stood out to me though more so than worrying about how grandma was going to take it.

Yes, they certainly can. I was watching a Maury show a while back, one of those DNA test shows that you hate yourself for watching. A white woman was having a black man tested for paternity and his loudmouth mother was *screaming* that there was no way that child was her son's because the baby was so light-skinned. No way that white baby was her grandchild. The test results come back, and they are positive; her son is the father. After the break, they show grandma holding the baby and just cooing to him. Now that she knows it's her grandchild, the skin color is irrelevant; that is her grandbaby and she is pouring on the love. I'll never forget that show. The woman's attitude shifted so quickly.

You do realize that those shows are as staged as a WWF fight right?

Grandmothers are not as frail and naive as society makes them out to be.
The lw should tell her grandmother. She will not only live through the revelation but will probably be understanding of why it was kept secret.

Iwata spray gun questions
I am considering painting my 30 Model A streetrod myself and the spraygun I am considering buying is a Iwata. Basically because it is not an air hog and My compressor will handle it. The question is, can I paint the car BC/CC with the Iwata300-134LV? It is a ltttle smaller than the Iwata400. Should I use the 1.3 or the 1.4 tip Also and they speak of paint cap,I am not sure what they are referring to. Can someone shed some light? thanks, great site!
Iwata spray gun
I don't have too much experience with those model spray guns, but I have used the Iwata airbrushes before and they are excellent. I think the 'paint cap' that they are talking about is paint capacity for the pot.
I absolutely love my LPH-400
Best gun I have ever had imo, and I have many guns
go to the iwata message board and ask Hub.
I would order the 1.4 tip myself..Main thing is to shoot some practice layouts to get the gun adjusted just right so it shoots wet and slick with the material you are using..that goes for any gun that you buy..

Say cheese: EU strikes trade deal with Canada, looks to U.S.
By Robin Emmott and Philip Blenkinsop
BRUSSELS/LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - The European Union and Canada agreed a multibillion-dollar trade pact on Friday that will integrate two of the world's largest economies and pave the way for Europe to clinch an even bigger deal with the United States.
The deal will make Canada the only G8 country to have preferential access to the world's two largest markets, the EU and the United States, home to a total of 800 million people.
"This is the biggest deal our country has ever made," Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in Brussels, adding that it outstripped the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Talks between the two sides launched in May 2009 but stalled for months over quotas for Canadian beef and EU cheese. Harper and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso met in Brussels to resolve outstanding issues and seal the deal.
In a cheeky touch, chefs served Italian gorgonzola and Greek feta cheese at a four-course lunch laid on for the two leaders to celebrate the deal, which EU trade chief Karel De Gucht called a "template" for negotiations with the United States.
The deal marks a breakthrough for Brussels' free-trade agenda, which had previously achieved smaller agreements with South Korea and Singapore. It is expected to increase bilateral trade in goods and services by a fifth to 25.7 billion euros ($35 billion) a year, according to the latest EU estimates.
Barroso said he hoped the agreement could come into effect from 2015, after EU governments, the European Parliament and Canada's 10 provinces give their blessing. Continued...

Read an Excerpt
Part One
The First Chapter
The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the marketplace on one side to the churchyard on the other.
Sailing ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.
For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands -- Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly -- like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.
Three great friends I had in Puddleby in those days. One wasJoe, the mussel-man, who lived in a tiny hut by the edge of the water under the bridge. This old man was simply marvelous at making things. I never saw a man so clever with his hands. He used to mend my toy ships for me which I sailed upon the river; he built windmills out of packing cases and barrel staves; and he could make the most wonderful kites from old umbrellas.
Joe would sometimes take me in his mussel boat, and when the tide was running out we would paddle down the river as far as the edge of the sea to get mussels and lobsters to sell. And out there on the cold lonely marshes we would see wild geese flying, and curlews and redshanks and many other kinds of seabirds that live among the samfire and the long grass of the great salt fen. And as we crept up the river in the evening, when the tide had turned, we would see the lights on Kingsbridge twinkle in the dusk, reminding us of teatime and warm fires.
Another friend I had was Matthew Mugg, the Cat's-meat-Man. He was a funny old person with a bad squint. He looked rather awful but he was really quite nice to talk to. He knew everybody in Puddleby; and he knew all the dogs and all the cats. In those times being a Cat's-meat-Man was a regular business. And you could see one nearly any day going through the streets with a wooden tray full of pieces of meat stuck on skewers crying, "Meat! M-E-A-T!" People paid him to give this meat to their cats and dogs instead of feeding them on dog biscuits or the scraps from the table.
I enjoyed going round with old Matthew and seeing the cats and dogs come running to the garden gates whenever they heard his call. Sometimes he let me give the meat to the animals myself; and I thought this was great fun. He knew a lot about dogs and he would tell me the names of the different kinds as we went through the town. He had several dogs of his own; one, a whippet, was a very fast runner, and Matthew used to win prizes with her at the Saturday coursing races; another, a terrier, was a fine ratter. The Cat's-meat-Man used to make a business of rat-catching for the millers and farmers as well as his other trade of selling cat's-meat.
My third great friend was Luke the Hermit. But of him I will tell you more later on.
I did not go to school, because my father was not rich enough to send me. But I was extremely fond of animals. So I used to spend my time collecting birds' eggs and butterflies, fishing in the river, rambling through the countryside after blackberries and mushrooms and helping the mussel-man mend his nets.
Yes, it was a very pleasant life I lived in those days long ago -- though of course I did not think so then. I was nine and a half years old; and, like all boys, I wanted to grow up -- not knowing how well off I was with no cares and nothing to worry me. Always I longed for the time when I should be allowed to leave my father's house, to take passage in one of those brave ships, to sail down the river through the misty marshes to the sea-out into the world to seek my fortune.The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle.

Awesome book
i read this book before i got my nook and loved it. it was entertaining and always left you wondering what will happen next. it would be great for any young adults and elementary school kids it's really intresting and easy to follow along with. if you are not sure if you want to download this ebook i say yes!!!
Our family has fallen in love with the Classic Starts Series. This particular book; The Voyages of Doctor Doolittle is a darling story full of adventure that satisfies the interest of both kids; a first grade boy and preschool girl. The questions in the back allow the kids to think about the story and relate it to their own lives. The humor and conversations that materialize after are priceless! I would also recommend this title for fluent readers in lower grades (K-2)where age appropriate content matters.
My husband read this book for my 5 year old daughter and they both enjoyed it.
I have the same book except its a little different
This is a great book you and your kids will love it. It is a great source of literichure. Exploration is at hand!
Okay you 9 year old person is got to stop swiching and this book awesome.
The best book ever for all ages!!!!!!!!!
A very good story, but it has some formatting issues, like the title, instead of being on the top of the page, sometimes goes anywhere but the top. There are also some typos, random letters strewn about, and some missing puncuation which mysteriously moves to a whole section. But overall, it's very good. I would give it about 2 1/2 to 3 stars.
The story line in the book is great but there are several things wrong with the format. Like i could be in the middle of a page and it will say something completely out of conntext like the voyages of doctor dolittle. It is a little better is you use the smallest text settings but it is not completely avoidable.
Dr. Doolittle has a funny name that akes it sound very interesting. I wonder where he got his name from. Soinds very cool. Wanna read it someday.
The beginning was great but the end was boring. It was hard to finish the book.
Its an excellent old book to read and its a caldecott book. I love it.
This book is perfect. Everyone who is interested in animals and nature and who likes a good adventure story should read it. Flawless.
From the smallest ant to the biggest whale, Doctor John Dolittle studied and adored animals. In the story, 'The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle' the author Hugh Lofting presented the doctor to the world. Telling them about his voyages he took and the animals he talked to. It all started from a young boy named Jacob Puddleby, who is telling about his wonderful experience with the famous John Dolittle. Jacob's parents did not have enough money to send him to school. Jacob would walk around town and learn his own way. One day he sees a hawk that has a little squirrel in his grasp. Young Jacob scares the hawk just in time before it killed the squirrel. Scared and frightened that the squirrel was injured Jacob takes care of it. However he notices he doesn't have the proper education to treat it. So he goes in search of help the cats meat-man tells him about the greatest doctor ever doctor John Dolittle. There he goes in search for the great doctor. After visiting him everyday he becomes fascinated with animals and sooner or later he is living with the doctor and going on a voyage. The book had its strong points like the characters. John Dolittle seems like a great man, a man who seems to know all the answers in the world. He seems to be the kindest man to ever live. The young boy Jacob Puddleby had a voluminous amount of energy and always helping the doctor and thinking quickly. The book also had some weak points; in my opinion it was to short. This is a more of a mystery and adventure book. Another strong point would be the diversity of all the animals. The characters seem realistic such as Doctor Dolittle a man who loved nature. Also having stock characteristics such as the captain. I really do recommend that people should read this book. It makes you aware of nature and all it's amazing creations. It is a really good beach read, or a story that you can curl up in front of the fire. Either way you should read the book the voyages of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting, it sure to make an animal out of you.
This a magnificent book for those who LOVE animals. It is funny and unique. I've read it at least 5 times, Really!!!!! Prefect for 9 to 100yrs old.
Was my first chapter book, belive it or not. May be a little boring for young kids but is awsome for all ages!
Docter Dolittle seems like a both interesting and very good book at one time
Hi i'm Bravestar. Go to the fogotten warrior. For more info
Typo alert but still good read :)
This was a gift for my special little friend who is finally realizing her reading potential after finally having a teacher who understands her form of dyslexia and was able to "break through to her" thought and visual process and help her to make sense of the words and their order. Kudos to special teachers who take the time to really understand their students!!

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:03am
I'm here at the 4th annual Maverik Showtime at Western Connecticut State in Danbury for one of the top recruiting events in the country, running from Monday evening until Thursday afternoon.
Maverik employees and former 'Cuse All-Americans Paul Carcaterra, Mike Springer and Joe Ceglia run this event and have done a seamless job with this showcase's new format. 2014's (about 220 rising juniors) and 2015's (about 120) are split up for the first time this year, with four games running each session on two separate fields.
Overall, there's an absolute wealth of talent here - there's plenty of college coaches here but they'll really start rolling in on Wednesday morning. At night in the camp's main attraction, there will be an All-Star game for each class.
By my count, about 25 of the rising juniors in attendance have made verbal commitments. I focused mainly on that group, so that's who I'll cover in this installment. At some point on Thursday, a similar writeup as this will go up on the rising sophomores. A final morning session will occur on Thursday before everybody heads home.
I'll make sure to post All-Star rosters on here late this afternoon. The 2015 game will take place at 6:45 in the stadium, followed by the 2014 game at 7:45 in the nightcap. Wednesday is the biggest day for college coaches to attend.
Ryder Garnsey (Brewster Academy '14, N.H.), who is one of the better uncommitted guys out there, is an enjoyable prospect to watch. He surveys the field exceptionally well, knows when to dodge and knows when to dish it off. Love his stick as well. Teammates Peter Lindley (Darien '14, Conn.), a lefty finisher, and Justin McBride (Cold Spring Harbor '14, N.Y.), an established feeder, are also solid. It didn't take too long for it to be apparent that recent Syracuse commit Bradley Voigt (Penn Yan '14, N.Y.) has the best stick skills here. The lefty put on a show, showing off a gorgeous Indian pickup and spin-around finish in one quick motion. He's been filling up the nonexistent scoresheet all camp long. With that said, Pierre Byrne (Culver Academy '14, Ind.) has been doing the same, but may be more complete. The ND verbal is a capable carrier, feeder and finisher, and rides hard as well. Of course, he's the son of Irish assistant Gerry Byrne, so his lacrosse IQ makes plenty of sense.
A player that is on a hot streak is Kieran Mullins (Islip '14, N.Y.), doing a phenomenal job turning the corner and scoring and connecting well with Sean Lattimore (Auburn '14, N.Y.), who is Penn assistant Judd Lattimore's cousin, all camp long. James Hewell (Woodberry Forest '14, Va.) is a nice shooter, as is Connor Vercruysse (Yorktown '14, N.Y.).
Other Attackmen Who Impressed: Carson Dutkanych (Park City '14, Utah), Colby Hall (Lincoln-Sudbury '14, Mass.), Riley Thompson (Culver Academy '14, Ind.), Christian Cuccinello (Mountain Lakes '14, N.J.), Mason Burr (Simsbury '14, Conn.)
The talk on the sidelines is that Adam DiMillo (Bishop Timon St. Jude '14, N.Y.) is perhaps the best player here, which I'd agree with. Unfortunately for those coaches, he was snatched up by Maryland back in December. The Buffalo native simply won't stop scoring, possesses excellent speed and is an asset at the face-off X. He's a surefire top 10 junior in my book. Really nice midfield crew on Team 6, led by Will Robinson (West Morris Mendham '14, N.J.) and Trevor Hodgins (Churchville-Chili '14, N.Y.). Hodgins is small for his position but has an outstanding skillset, while Robinson is solid at the face-off X, dodges hard and has ideal size for Division I. One of the most impressive athletes at the camp is definitely Austin Sims (Fairfield Prep '14, Conn.), who scored two goals in a morning game and is a speed demon with great decision making and a nice stick. He is getting looks from Virginia, Yale, Penn, Duke and Princeton, among others.
Coaches here seem to adore Craig Berge (Massapequa '14, N.Y.), a 6-foot-1, 185-pound playmaker who put up 21 goals and 23 assists for the Chiefs this spring. Berge makes things happen with his hustle, smarts and lacrosse IQ. Jake Marino (Harrison '14, N.Y.) dazzled with his shooting from the outside, tallying a hat trick in the 8am game on Tuesday. P.J. Bell (Nobles & Greenough '14, Mass.) is a formidable prospect with solid athleticism, demonstrating great fundamentals and working well with his teammates. Kevin Hutchings (Marcellus '14, N.Y.) had some great moves from up top and could really pull it.
Others Who Impressed: Luke Palmadesso (Yorktown '14, N.Y.), Peter Dyson (Choate Rosemary Hall '14, Conn.), Joe Lang (St. Ignatius '14, Calif.), Benjamin Kennedy (St. Andrew's '14, Fla.), Frankie Stubbolo (Cold Spring Harbor '14, N.Y.), Mike D'Alessandro (Don Bosco Prep '14, N.J.), Ian Kadish (Skyline '14, Wash.)
It seemed as though a lot of the top defensemen here are all on an even playing field, while the offensive players separated themselves from the pack. Solid consistency with this D group as well. Among the standouts was Sam Dovan (Fairport '14, N.Y.), a rangy kid who communicated and played well off ball from what I saw. Chase Bly (Sewickley Academy '14, Pa.) showed excellent speed, a big asset in the clearing game. He could have the best acceleration of any defenseman here. Marcus Henry Cunningham (Glen Ridge '14, N.J.) is built well and impressed by flat out putting the ball on the ground. Kyle Nawrocki (Hauppauge '14, N.Y.) passes the eyeball test with his 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame and throws punishing checks, showing he's a Division I prospect for sure. Luc Valenza (Foxboro '14, Mass.) is an absolute beast with serious wheels and footwork, doing a really good job causing trouble in between the lines at the LSM spot. Another impressive recruit is Nick Panara (Pittsford '14, N.Y.), who represented Upstate N.Y. at the Under Armour tourney and looked to be one of the more complete longpoles at the event. I loved his awareness, ability to talk and stick work, in particular, all of which made it evident that he could play virtually anywhere.
Others Who Impressed: Jack Harrington (Greenwich '14, Conn.), Reid Randall (Brewster Academy '14, N.H.), Andrew Benedict (St. Joseph's Prep '14, Pa.), Salvatore Fama (Immaculata '14, N.J.)
Tyler Blaisdell (Thayer Academy '14, Mass.) is proving himself as one of the best keepers in the class, with great well-roundedness. The saves he makes are impressive and acrobatic at times, but clearing might be biggest skill. Tommy Heidt (Brunswick School '14, Conn.) did a tremendous job in between the pipes, making a ton of stops and showing a lot of energy and poise outside of the goal. His outlets were almost always on the mark. Bound for Loyola, Grant Limone (Weston '14, Conn.) has outstanding size and made every save he should have made and then some, also communicating with his D deftly. Another kid coming off a strong campaign at Under Armour weekend, Nick Marrocco (Duxbury '14, Mass.) has schools like Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and Colgate all over him thanks to his play. He followed it up this weekend by demonstrating very quick hands and good positioning in cage.
Others Who Impressed: Phil Huffard (Darien '14, Conn.), Danny Dolan (Garden City '14, N.Y.), Bradley Nordstrom (Brophy Prep '14, Ariz.), Jason Nerreau (Fairfield Warde '14, Conn.)

Residents Want Road Sign Relocated
Dozens of people showed up for a public meeting with FDOT to ask that one sign be moved back. For Southbound traffic, the foundation has been laid for a sign that alerts drivers when fog is less than a mile away.
Keeping the sign in it's current spot allows drivers one chance to make a U-Turn before hitting the fog.
Some residents said they need more time to make a decision, but officials said moving the sign would mean some drivers may not see it and would add additional expenses to move it.
One concerned resident, Ed Buckley, said, "I don't think traveling, going 65 miles an hour with kids in the background and it's probably already bad weather giving them as little time as possible to turn around isn't a very smart decision."
FDOT Engineer, Peter Vega, said a lot of discussion and thought went into deciding where the signs go but they will take these comments into consideration.
Officials did not comment on how much it would cost to move the signs, but 30% of the work is completed and officials said all the signs should be put up by Spring 2015.

These Kids are FIGHTERS!
Need a little inspiration today? These tough kids will do the trick!
This video was created by patients at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchkock (CHaD) and features children, families, doctors, nurses and administrators lip-synching the Katy Perry's power anthem, "Roar."
The hospital's Child Life Specialist Holly Gaspar helped organize the production, and she says "All of our CHaD Kids have a roar. Sometimes we hear it, sometimes we see it, and sometimes we feel it. They are strong, they are brave, they are all fighters."

Why are chimpanzees so fascinating to us? Is it because they are so much like us, sharing 98 percent of our DNA? Does this cause people to minimize their wildness? Or is it the reason we forget entirely that they are inherently wild animals? Does our propensity to anthropomorphize diminish our respect for these majestic primates?
According to a 2008 study published in the journal Science, it does. The results of that study indicated that the frequency with which we see chimpanzees in movies, TV, and commercials leads the general public to believe that chimps are not endangered. In fact, they are listed as endangered by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Red list. Chimpanzees are already extinct in 4 of the 25 countries in their natural range. Since the 20th century, the estimated chimpanzee population in the wild has been reduced by a staggering 70-80 percent.
Chimpanzees in captivity however, are another story. More than 2000 chimps live in captivity right here in the US. Half of those are in biomedical research and about a quarter of them live in sanctuaries. Only 12 percent of chimps living in the US live in AZA accredited zoos. That leaves nearly 250 chimps in unaccredited facilities or private ownership. In fact, there are over 100 chimps documented as private pets in the US.
How did we get to this point? While the IUCN may list chimps as endangered, it has no recourse for individual countries. Each country makes their own list of endangered species that are protected by their local laws. Chimps in the wild are threatened by habitat destruction and bush meat consumption, but it is all too easy to point the finger at a country halfway across the world. We can and should support these far away places. The Oakland Zoo has made a huge impact by supporting the Budongo Snare Removal Project.
However, there are still 2000 chimpanzees in the US, and they didn't get here by accident. Chimpanzees are the only species that our own government has double listed in our endangered species laws. This is confusing because the United States government classifies WILD chimps as "endangered" and CAPTIVE chimps as "threatened." This means captive chimps are not afforded the same protection under federal law that every other endangered species receives. Therefore, private breeders are selling chimps to unsuspecting families as pets. Chimps are dressed up in clothes for our entertainment in movies and TV. Because chimpanzees are portrayed this way, many people lack the understanding and appreciation for one of the world's most intelligent animals.
As an AZA accredited zoo, the Oakland Zoo participate s in the Chimpanzee Species Survival Plan (SSP). Recently, the chair of the Chimp SSP began an ambitious project to document ALL chimpanzees living in the US and educate the public about their plight, not only in the wild, but here in our own country. The website, www.chimpcare.org, is not only educational, but gives us, as consumers the power to make choices in our daily lives that will affect how chimps are treated here, in our own backyards. Chimpanzees are not just hairy people; they are majestic, magnificent animals that deserve dignity and respect.

Review: Toshiba Satellite S55t- A5277
Are you searching for a laptop which can handle your class works and as well as some gaming in your downtime? Here is the best choice for you. Toshiba has launched, Toshiba Satellite S55t- A5277, a laptop with 15.6 inch screen having touch- screen feature in it. This product has a powerful Intel Core i7 processor with 12 GB of RAM. Apart from these this laptop has much more features in it.
After the features it comes of design. When you look for the design of this notebook you will find it quite similar to the other products of Toshiba satellite like Toshiba Satellite p55t. Satellite P55t and Satellite S55t are designed with some changes in the Toshiba Laptops. The Ice silver colored aluminum lid makes this product more attractive.
As this notebook has many newly added good features then, its common that it will have some negative features also. Here I have brought some good as well as negative features of this product for you. Let's start with the good features of this product:
1). Powerful core i7 processor stands as the strong point of this notebook. There is no notebook out there in market which has core i7 processor so strong.
2). The second amazing feature of this product is its impressive graphics quality. The graphics quality which you will find in this notebook is quite difficult to find in any other product of its type.
3). Keyboard of this notebook is the best part of it. The keyboard of this notebook performs really excellent.
Apart from these three features there are many other good features in this notebook but the above mentioned three are the best in it. When we are talking about the good features of this product then how could we skip the negative features of this product? So, here I have bought some negative features of this product also:
1). Very dim low-res display stands as the most unsatisfying feature of this product.
2). Second comes the poor viewing angles. If you won't get to see anything properly in the screen of your note book then why do you invest your money in this product?
3). The very poor battery life of this product holds it back. You have to charge your notebook in a very short period of time. This makes it difficult to use when you are out of your place or you forgot to pack your laptop charger with you.
There is no more defects in this product rather than these above mentioned three. But all the three above mentioned features are some major defects in this product which holds this product back and make it weaker than other products out there in the market. After reading all the features of this product are you interested to buy this product? If yes, then don't waste your time in thinking so much. Just move on and buy this product for yourself or any other member of your family. If no then, search for any other product available in the market.

text: It may not have anything to do with "wanting Dupree", it's just that sometimes you need a salary to throw in the deal to make the numbers work. Dupree's salary is more useful in that respect than Mejia's would be. If you waive Dupree, you lose that salary "chip" that you may have needed to make a beneficial trade work. The decision really had to be made on the basis of financial implications.

American Icons: "Fiddler on the Roof"
How a milkman from a Russian shtetl became a Broadway star and a hero of postwar American culture.
Surely one of the least likely heroes in American theater is a singing milkman from a small village in czarist Russia. But that milkman, Tevye, became one of Broadway's most beloved characters in the 1964 musical "Fiddler on the Roof."
Tevye — citizen of the mythical shtetl of Anatevka, beleaguered father of five daughters, target of persecution — made his debut in 1894, in a series of stories published in Yiddish by Sholem Aleichem. Aleichem eventually wrote a play called "Tevye the Milkman," which premiered in New York in 1919. But it was the short stories, in an English translation, that caught the attention of Joe Stein, an up-and-coming librettist on Broadway. He bought a copy of Aleichem's book in 1960 and shared it with his collaborators, composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick. The three of them saw the makings of a musical.
Director Jerome Robbins — who had won a Tony and an Academy Award for "West Side Story" — wasn't sure about it, recalls producer Hal Prince. " Jerry said, 'What the hell is this show really about?'" Tevye's struggle to marry off his daughters to the right men — or to fend off a pogrom — didn't seem like the making of a hit. How would the story appeal to non-Jewish audiences? Harnick was exasperated by the questioning when he finally exclaimed, "It's about tradition!" Robbins was satisfied, Prince recalls, and told them, "Now go write a song called 'Tradition.'"
"Fiddler"'s success — it ran on Broadway for eight years, a record at the time — marked a shift in American culture. In the postwar years, Americans were beginning to embrace their ethnic roots, and Ellis Island became part of our national narrative. Joe Stein made a critical change to Aleichem's stories (which usually end badly for Tevye): Stein has Tevye and his family lose their home, but set out for a brighter future in the United States. Tevye came to be seen not as an emblem of the backwards old country, but as a prototypical immigrant, struggling with changing times and mores. "He is trying to shift and bend and acclimate as necessary to keep peace in his home, and to understand himself," says Alisa Solomon, author of "Wonder of Wonders: A Cultural History of Fiddler on the Roof." "He makes error after error in these stories in how he relates to his daughters, and for the reader, he never quite comes to satisfactory self-realization," Solomon says. "That's part of the tension in the stories that's so beautiful."

The most authentic account is that by Hakluyt in 1582, and though it is rather long, it is worth extracting in full.
This was Hakluyt, who must have been known to Lyly; and for the following reason.
Returning to Wales he once more set out with ten vessels, but concerning his further adventures Powell and Hakluyt are silent.
(Bohn's), is the following, purporting to be from Hakluyt, vol.
In 1600 Hakluyt included a more accurate translation in his Principal Navigations.
The "Travaile" was first published by the Hakluyt Society in 1849.
Two accounts of this voyage are to be found in Hakluyt's collection (pp. 466 and 476).
The words of the grant are handed down to us by Hakluyt, vol.
The second was in 1536, under a leader named Hore—a voyage of which a graphic account is given in Hakluyt.
The details of that gallant fight stand in the pages of Hakluyt.
