Now, it all makes sense:
(via SMBC)
"It seems like…" isn't an argument. It is an observation like "Ooh rainbows are pretty, it seems like they were painted on the sky" but, of course, we know that they weren't. If they want to speculate then fine but one could equally speculate something opposite. "It seems like physics wasn't designed. We don't call that lack of design anything."
Given these two opposing views we have no option but to refer to the available evidence in order to sort out the disparity. I see no evidence of a designer. I win, the teleological argument is bunk. Horrah! Can we all now have some cake or something?
SMBC does highlight how running away with a speculative idea is clearly in error. They deserve some cake just for that. It is special Internet cake. It seems tasty.
Woooooo-Hooooooo! I'm glad you like SMBC and I'm happy to see it's making the rounds. Those who dream it and do it are friends of mine. (sorry to wander off-topic)
The amusing thing (for me) about the teleological argument, is that you can use its reasoning to 'prove' that convincing artificial flowers are the same as real flowers.
What this comic says could be applied to virtually any argument for the existence of god, and we really should point it out more often.
No, that being is called The thing that made the things for which there is no known maker.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn't be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact email@example.com or 877-606-6161.

Children's symptoms of anxiety and depression, in some cases, can be associated with them feeling responsible for, or caught up in the middle of parental conflict. Children under the age of 5 may cry, act out, regress, or try to distract parents. Children age 6 to middle adolescence may try to intervene in the conflict. Cues that parental conflict is too high are: repeated attempts to reduce conflict, withdrawal, or exhibiting acting out behavior. Family therapy is crucial in minimizing the negative feelings for children who are experiencing distress and emotional pain. The strength of family and child therapy is bringing together the family system so the child can feel safe and secure.

I work with children from elementary age and up by building on their strengths, consulting with parents to help integrate the best structure into their lives, helping them expand their ways of expression through play, using expressive therapies and advocating for them when needed in the schools. I provide them with opportunities to practice the skills I build with them in our therapy sessions. I use cognitive behavioral strategies, expressive therapies and body work to engage with them and build opportunities to learn new skills.

POSITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SECTION OF THE CC OF THE KKE AT THE 11th ANNUAL CONFERENCE "V.I.LENIN, THE OCTOBER REVOLUTION AND THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD".
Source: inter.kke.gr.
The importance and timeliness of Lenin's work on the state.
100 years ago, a few months before the Great October Socialist Revolution and in particularly difficult and complex political conditions, V.I. Lenin wrote a fundamentally important work, "The State and Revolution", which, of course, was published for the first time after the October Revolution in 1918.
In this work, Lenin highlighted the essence and analyzed the class nature of the state: "The state is a product and a manifestation of the irreconcilability of class antagonisms. The state arises where, when and insofar as class antagonisms objectively cannot be reconciled. And, conversely, the existence of the state proves that the class antagonisms are irreconcilable."[1]

Bruno Mars Brings "Runaway Baby" to the 2012 GRAMMYs
He's well-known for his high energy and catchy hooks, and Bruno Mars gave a killer performance at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards tonight (February 12).
The "Grenade" singer showed up at the Staples Center ready to impress his contemporaries with his snazzy attire and silky smooth vocals on the song "Runaway Baby."
Bruno is nominated for a total of six Grammy Awards tonight, an accomplishment of which he's quite proud.
Mars told press, "It feels incredible. Me and these guys [Producers The Smeezingtons] locked ourselves in a studio not too far from here to work on this album, especially 'Grenade,' that's the song we worked the hardest on. That's our trophy right there. Of all the songs that we've been fortunate enough to be a part of this year, we were most proud of that one."

Chatham Acquires 51-Hotel Portfolio in JV
Wednesday June 11th, 2014 - 9:41AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
PALM BEACH, FL—Chatham Lodging Trust has completed the acquisition of a 51-hotel, 6,848-room portfolio from a joint venture with Cerberus Capital Management LP and Chatham in two separate transactions.
The combined total purchase price was $1.3 billion before capital expenditure reserves credited to the buyers of $39.7 million. Capital was the exclusive financial advisor to Chatham. Watchell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Hunton & Williams were legal advisors to Chatham.
Chatham acquired four Residence Inns by Marriott in Silicon Valley, comprising 751 rooms, for a net cash purchase price of $272.6 million, or approximately $363,000 per room, as part of the sale of the 51-hotel portfolio. The transaction consists of the gross purchase price of $341.5 million less reserve credits of $15.1 million, resulting in a net purchase price of $326.4 million.
Chatham is considering the redevelopment and expansion of all four hotels to increase the room count by 36 percent to a total of 1,023 rooms. The 272-room expansion would comprise a new lobby and public spaces in each location with an estimated aggregate cost of $59 million, or $217,000 per additional room. The all-in-cash cost for the four hotels, on a pro-forma basis, would be $331.9 million, or approximately $324,000 per room. The expansion would take approximately 12 months in each location and disruption is expected to be minimal.
A JV between NorthStar Realty Finance Corp and Chatham purchased the remaining 47 hotels in the acquisition for a gross purchase of $958.5 million, a net cash purchase price of $933.9 million after reserve credits, or $153,000 per room. NorthStar acquired Cerberus' 89.7 percent interest in the prior JV while Chatham retained its 10.3 percent interest.
Based on the net purchase price for the sale of the 51-hotel Innkeepers JV portfolio, Chatham experienced a non-GAAP economic gain of $80 million, or more than $3 per share. Chatham expects to recognize approximately $54 million of the economic gain in the 2014 second quarter, net of its continued 10.3 percent interest in the Innkeepers JV.

The Importance of Spatial Design
As a marketing guy who's still mastering the whole opposable thumbs thing, I'm always impressed by our visual design clients–people like real estate developers, architects, interior designers and general contractors, who have the ability to transform a blank canvas into large scale, mixed-use developments for human use. When done thoughtfully, it's awesome!
Kirk Goldberry did a nice job capturing the importance of developing more of these "visual" people in his Harvard Business Review article, The Importance of Spatial Thinking Now. In it, he explained how we've lost momentum in spatial design ever since geographical training was predominantly removed from higher education in the 1940s. He explains how the resulting skills-deficit can hurt us, especially in an age where big data sets must be crafted into visually digestible communications.
Working with my talented clients, the article helped me realize how vital it is for us to keep developing visualization skills. I see the results every day in the form of concept sketches, blueprints and site plans. And in our online world where designs are no longer limited to physical constructions, Goldberry has convinced me that now, more than ever, it's important for young designers to reconnect with the long lost art of geographical visualization.
It's an exciting time. I can't wait to see how powerful computers, big data and a renewed commitment to visual design education from places like Harvard will help us live better, work smarter, and learn more.

If you hear music in the air, it could be coming from the Choralaires. The Starke County Choralaires are a chorus group that is a part of Melody Makers of Indiana. The Melody Makers of Indiana is the only chorus of it's kind in the United States.
The unique organization is made up of more than 350 musical women from all across the Hoosier state. Recently the Choralaires were awarded a grant from Kankakee REMC Operation Round Up. The ladies were thrilled to receive the grant and plan to use the money towards purchasing music and transportation fees.
The Choralaires have seen their fair share of road and plan to venture further according to director Susie Szynalski.
"They have different things during the year that we can go to like August 8th a couple of us are going to sing at State Fair. Usually about around 150 to 200 of us go there in the family arts building. Three years ago we went to Savannah, they opened three shows at Branson last year and next year we're going on a Caribbean cruise. They offer this to everybody in the state, we have to pay our own expenses. Usually we'll have 60 to 70 going to special events like that. People from all over the state get together and do that so there's a lot of opportunities to do other things besides stay in the county."
The Choralaires are always searching to add new voices. Anyone of any age who loves to sing is welcome to join. There is no audition required to become a member, and the new season begins in August after the State Fair.
At the beginning of the season the ladies receive 12 pieces of music that they practice throughout the year. During the summer they practice in the basement of St. Thomas Catholic Church every Tuesday from 2:30 until 4 p.m. Every June all the various groups from across the state meet at Purdue to sing all the pieces together.
For more information contact director Susie Szynalski at 574-772-4707,the treasurer Joan Stepien at 574-772-3745 or the president Pat Vanek at 574-896-2050.

Teach all children to be water smart
FEW images are as quintessentially Australian as a beautiful stretch of our coastline: the golden sands and blue ocean waters for which the country is famous and from which we derive so much pleasure. Many of us live near a beach, and at this time of year coastal towns buzz with families enjoying the sun and the sea, while others take advantage of local pools to escape the heat.
So it is a matter of commonsense that all Australian children should learn to swim and have an understanding of what to do if they find themselves in trouble in the water. Already this summer, 12 children have drowned a devastating loss for families and friends at a time when many of us are enjoying a break from work and school before the new year begins in earnest.
As The Sunday Age reports today, Victorian children are missing out on learning to swim properly, with Life Saving Victoria reporting that some schools are not meeting the swimming education standards required of them.
Schools are asked to do a great deal these days, and their role is far more extensive than simply teaching literacy and numeracy. The demands on them are growing, and budgets are tight. But teaching children to swim is as fundamental as teaching them to read and write, and it may well save their lives. If there are problems with transporting children to swimming lessons or accessing pools, these need to be sorted out immediately before the new school year begins.
Of course, parents also have an important role to play in ensuring that children stay safe in the water. Many will choose to start swimming lessons for their children before they reach school age. But it is also essential that children are supervised at all times around water whether it's at the beach or in a swimming pool at home and that adults set an example for water safety by swimming between the flags at the beach and knowing their limitations in the water.

It doesn't appear that there is one yet, at least that I could find. Their website is a pretty good place to look up the status of the bills. The link below will take you there but you have to register.Quote:

Even though the Governor vetoed Arizona SB1363 (Carrying a firearm in a "bar"), this bill was passed into law and signed by the Governor yesterday. They removed the "lifetime" part of it and added 1 year (to 5 years) before renewal and cut the training requirements in half.
1. Provides a CCW permit is valid for five years.
2. Stipulates that a CCW permit is renewable every five years.
3. Decreases the initial concealed weapon training program time to a length of eight hours.
4. Decreases the refresher course required for a CCW permit renewal to two hours.
5. Provides that a person will not be convicted of failure to present a CCW permit on request of a law enforcement officer for inspection if the person produces to the court a legible permit that is issued to the person and that was valid at the time of the violation.
6. Specifies, for the purposed of renewing a CCW permit, the permit holder is only required to submit additional fingerprints for the criminal records check the first time the permit holder renews his or her permit.
7. Requires all current permit holders to submit additional fingerprints for the permit holders next renewal cycle, regardless if it is the permit holders first renewal.
8. Extends the validity of a CCW permit held by a member of the United States Armed Forces, including a member of the Arizona National Guard or a member of the Reserves of any military establishment of the United States (military personnel), who is on federal active duty and who is deployed overseas until 90 days after the end of the members overseas deployment.
9. Provides a defense to any charge for carrying a deadly weapon without a permit by a member of military personnel, if the member was on federal active duty at the time the permit expired and the member presents documentation indicating release from active duty or reassignment from overseas deployment within the preceding 90 days.
10. Makes technical and conforming changes.
11. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
Bumper - How does this affect the issuance of non-resident permits? What is the current status of obtaining one?
I'd appreciate any info. I've been thinking of getting mine for Arizona.
I'll have to go back and read the law again to be sure, but I believe that there is no distinction between a resident or non-resident as far as the procedures or rules. Being right next door to us, that might not be a bad idea. I wouldn't mind having a Nevada permit now that I have a particular gun I carry all of the time. I would like to be able to carry when I cross that state line. Too bad California is so backward....
AZ makes no distiction on resident or non resident permits. This is a good step in the right direction, and shows that we can "baby step" too, Brady! Too bad about the bar bill, but way too much negative publicity, to the point where my wife thought it was a good thing it was killed, until I finally explained how it was to have worked....

Windows Movie Maker can help. Start by importing the video onto your PC. Import only the bit you want to e-mail, and keep it short. You don't want to clog up people's inboxes; every minute of video takes up around 350KB. Now select Finish Movie, then Send In E-Mail. Movie Maker compresses the file into a format that's suitable for e-mailing and attaches it a new message, ready for you to address.
Other video editors can do the same thing: Look for a setting that compresses the video down to as small a size as possible.

351 windsor too small?
i got a 85' crown vic 2-door im restoring it it has a 302 in it now i wanted to put a 377 stroker in it because it uses the same motor mounts as a 351 but its a 5500 lb car i want this car to be fast as hell will a 377 give me the torque off the line as a big block would give some suggestions on this also i want to put a supercharger on this with dual carbs am i gonna kill the 377 give me your suggestions thanx!
i think if you're looking for a little more jump off the line, you could just change the gears in the rearend. Also, i don't think i'd put on supercharger. Why not just put on nitrous? It's a lot cheaper and power is there whenever you want it. Are you sure that car actually weighs 5500 lbs ?
"Well done is better than well said." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
could you fit a big block in there? if yes, then just do that. that would definately give you good torque of the line. But as for the stroked windsor, i dont know much about the 377, but i read that the 393's are torque monsters. Put a blower on that and youll be flying.
351W is a great engine they have what is called a long arm assembly it consists of 351W block and crank and 400m rods (6.58 in) uses KB pistons number KB276. this assembly will produce around 175lbft more torque than a stock assembly and in a heavy car torque is what matters most and a shorter stroke will give more and quicker rpms than a stroker comparably built
thanx for the answers um tom i have absolutely no clue what your talking about haha sorry
the car actually weighs about 5800 lbs actually its a boat thats why i wanted to know if goin to a big block would be better suited for this car because ya know everyone hates to lose especially when u got a car that everyone else thinx is a dog i want to surprise people with the kind of power comin out of this thing shoudl i concentrate on higher rpms as well or just concentrate on low gears and instead of gears like 373's put something more along the lines of 410s or the extreme 456's?
If you really want to jump off the line then go ahead and get a big block. You cant beat the low end torque and plus if you need more you can always stroke it up to 572. I would think that at least 3.73s would be the way to go. The only thing that would suck is that youd be fillin up like every day. But hey, youd get off the line power.
For a detail performance report of you vehicle send me the information on your car as you want it prepared.
I'll run this data through a computer program called PC HOTROD and email the reports back to you.
Email me at the following address I'll return a data sheet for you to fill out and return to me.
If you don't know information such as transmission gear ratios and such, just tell me what kind of transmission you have and we can figure it out for you.

text: House Ways and Means Committee releases $36.2 billion budget proposal The fiscal 2015 state budget proposed on April 9 by the House Ways and Means Committee bolsters support for students and public education at all levels, with increases over current spending similar to those proposed by Governor Deval Patrick in January."The House followed through with a commitment to increase Chapter 70 funding by $100 million for K-12 public schools, which will keep them at their required foundation level," said MTA President Paul Toner. "That is a promising sign."Moreover, the budget proposed by the Ways and Means Committee is slightly better for higher education than the governor's proposal," Toner continued. "Our hope is that the Legislature will ensure another year of tuition and fee freezes at our colleges and universities, which would contribute to access and affordability for students."The House proposal totals $36.2 billion, compared to Patrick's $36.4 billion plan.Compared to current spending, the House package includes a 2.3 percent increase over current spending in Chapter 70 education funds for K-12 schools, a 5.7 percent rise in higher education spending and a 5.2 percent increase in early education and care."These increases in spending keep our public education system on the right track but do not fully address all of the needs of Massachusetts students," Toner said. "The MTA will continue advocating for the full range of resources needed to help every student succeed."The House is expected to debate the budget proposal later this month. Following House action, the Senate Ways and Means Committee will release its own version of the budget.

MLB loosened its social media rules Tuesday and got a big pop in digital traffic.
MLB, on its All-Star Game on Tuesday, for the first time allowed players to use social media while a game was in progress. And to encourage that, computer stations for player use were set up adjacent to each clubhouse – although players could only use social media after they left the game.
MLB says that the All-Star Game, according to data from Bluefin Labs, generated 807,603 comments on Facebook and Twitter – a 257% increase over last year. By the end of the first inning there were more comments than total comments last year. Comments with the Twitter hashtag #asg generated 30% of all comments.
MLB says "nearly a dozen" players used the social media room and tweeted from their personal accounts. A few players answered fan questions via MLB accounts.
Perhaps coincidentally, Fox's overnight TV rating rose 3% from last year – the event's first overnight ratings hike in four years.
Spice rack: MLB's national TV rights, after the 2013 season, are now up for grabs. NBC seems interested, partly because it's now the last-place network so it doesn't have to worry about displacing fall primetime hits with MLB playoff action, and partly because its cable NBC Sports Network needs higher-profile sports. But incumbents Fox, Turner Sports and ESPN also seem interested. What might happen if MLB TV rights get shuffled might also affect futures of high-profile baseball announcers like ESPN's Dan Shulman.

Seminoles and Tigers tangle in ACC affairMar 4, 2012 - 3:57 PM Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - The 22nd-ranked Florida State Seminoles will close out their season as they host the Clemson Tigers at the Donald L. Tucker Center for an Atlantic Coast Conference matchup.
Clemson will be looking to sweep the season series with the Seminoles after it earned dominated Florida State to pick up a 79-59 victory in the first matchup on Jan. 7. The Seminoles will be protecting their 30-28 lead in the all-time series.
The Tigers have won five of their last six games to improve to 16-13 overall with an 8-7 mark in ACC action. Clemson is tied for fifth-place in the league standings with Virginia and NC State after its 58-56 victory over Virginia Tech on Thursday. Coach Brad Brownell will need his team to improve its outside and free-throw shooting before the ACC Tournament, as it went 0-of-10 from beyond the arc and converted only 14-of-25 from the charity stripe in their win over the Hokies. Clemson is a very good team defensively, as they average just 59.7 ppg, which is the second best allowed average in the ACC.
Clemson will look to the trio of Andre Young, Tanner Smith, and Devin Booker to guide it to its fourth straight victory. Young is leading the team with 13.2 ppg. The senior guard finished with 10 points his last time out. Smith led the team with 14 points including the game-winning foul shots on Thursday in the win over Virginia Tech. Booker is adding 10.7 points and a team-high 6.9 boards per game to provide inside toughness.
Florida State ended its two-game losing steak on Thursday as it downed the Virginia Cavaliers, 63-60, with yet another buzzer beating three-pointer. Head coach Leonard Hamilton's team has locked up third place in the ACC regardless of the outcome in today's game. FSU struggled with its outside shooting during its two-game losing streak, as it made just 9-of-38 from beyond the arc and only 21-of-38 from the foul line during the two-game span. The Seminoles bounced back and drained 7-of-16 from deep, including a top-ten game-winner by Ian Miller, versus Virginia on Thursday. The Seminoles are outscoring their opponents by an average of 7.6 ppg this season.
The Seminoles are led by Michael Snaer. The junior shooting guard leads the team with 13.8 ppg after he was held to 12 points by Virginia on Thursday. Most coaches would love to have a guy like Snaer on their team in the final minutes of games as he has been clutch this season, draining game- winning three- pointers to help FSU defeat Duke and Virginia Tech. However, the Cavaliers suspected Snaer would be getting the ball in the final seconds of their tied up contest. With Snaer being denied the ball, Ian Miller launched a contested three-pointer which dropped in and gave FSU much needed momentum as it nears the ACC Tournament. Bernard James, Okara White, and Bernard Gibson all play vital roles for FSU as well. James is grabbing 8.2 boards per game.
No one has shouted yet.

Don't get dropped from the courses you're looking forward to taking. Payment in full is due when you register for your Foothill classes, and when you add subsequent classes. Foothill College will drop you from classes for nonpayment of fees. To keep your seat in the classes that you've registered for, you must pay the entire balance due by Monday, Sept. 9. You'll be dropped for nonpayment Sept. 10 and your seat will be given to another student. To pay fees or sign up for the payment plan, access your MyPortal.fhda.edu account.
Payment Options
• Log in to your MyPortal.fhda.edu account to pay your balance using a credit or debit card, or pay in person with check or cash at the Admissions & Records Office (Room 8101).
• You can choose the quarterly payment plan, which divides your balance due into three equal payments that will be collected during the current quarter. The first installment is due when you sign up for the plan.
• To enroll in the payment plan, log in to your MyPortal.fhda.edu account and follow the sign-up instructions.
• Payment plan installments can be made with a credit or debit card or by using your checking or savings account.
• There is a $25 fee to participate in the quarterly payment plan.
• If you have a prior unpaid balance on your Foothill account, you are not eligible to enroll in the payment plan.
You're Responsible for Officially Dropping Your Classes
• If you choose not to attend your classes, you're still responsible for initiating the official drop process.
• Log in to your MyPortal.fhda.edu account and follow the instructions to officially drop courses. You can also drop courses in person at the Admissions & Records Office (Room 8101).
• Failure to officially drop classes will result in assessed enrollment fees for which you are financial responsible, as well as failing grades on your college transcript.
Applying for Financial Aid? Read This!

Doctor Who celebrates 50 with eyes on global space
By Alexander Winning
LONDON (Reuters) - Thousands of "Doctor Who" fans from across the world descended on London on Saturday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a sci-fi series that has gripped generations with a quirky blend of time travel, merciless robots and evil aliens.
"Doctor Who", first aired on British television on November 23, 1963, is the world's longest-running science-fiction series according to Guinness World Records, telling the story of a half-human with two hearts and the power to travel in time. It is now a major part of BBC efforts to press sales overseas.
From its inception it had British children cowering behind sofas, untroubled by sometimes less than convincing sets and aliens that looked frequently like men in rubber suits.
The doctor's chief enemy, the Daleks, are an alien race forced by an apocalyptic war to retreat into robotic shells, bereft of all emotions bar hatred; mansized salt cellar-shaped villains with probes reminiscent of sink plungers and flashing lights on their heads strangely similar to those on a car seen widely on British streets in the early 1960s.
Scrapped 24 years ago, it re-emerged in 2005 in what many view as a more sophisticated form, going from strength to strength.
As well as building a strong fan base in Britain among so-called "Whovians", the show has made its mark in the United States, Australia and Canada and is expanding in other languages to markets such as China, Brazil and Mexico.
Randy Bloch, a computer engineer from Chicago, Illinois, was one of an expected 24,000 fans gathering at a conference center for a 50th anniversary edition, "The Day of the Doctor", to be broadcast in more than 90 countries and 15 languages.
Some wore Dr Who costumes, took part in workshops, bought up merchandise and took part in workshops. Continued...

Some time ago I ended up on the phone with another very experienced foster mom. She mentioned that she doesn't take kids over the summer - she is a single mom with two adopted daughters (from fostercare) and she takes the summers to devote time to her daughters, who sometimes feel a little ignored with other little ones coming in and out. When I find her phone number, I am going to ask the logistics of this..
We have always been of the mind that we take all our kids whereever we go (on family adventures, that is), rather than get respite care. We have a sibling pair now, and we've taken them with us on our summer camping trips. Here's the thing; turns out, they don't travel well. Camping trips have ranged from tolerable to disasters. There are just some real psychological issues that make new experiences and changes in routine out of the question. We've canceled a couple trips later in the summer, staying home and plan adventures from here.
However, we are planning on taking the family (DH, myself and DS) on a road trip next summer, like for a week or two. I know DCFS would let us take kids, but I can't count on having kids that can handle this sort of trip (for instance, these two would not). If it turns out we have kids with us who could handle the trip, I'd be willing to recant, but I don't want to be in a situation where we've planned this trip and we have kids who can't handle it that don't go on to another better placement (family, permanency, etc.) I'm not sure how to go about that...
Does anyone else out there take scheduled breaks from fostering? If so, how do you arrange that? Do you just tell social workers when they place kids that you are out for that time?
My daughter's foster mom and dad took amazing trips. They had a a lot of foster children, all with medical needs. Each child did respite with a nurse/health aid. My feelings toward this practice have been sort of a roller coaster ride. I found out about it long after our daughter had been placed with us.
Most of me thinks you need to do anything you can to keep yourself "charged" to be a good foster parent. A tiny piece of me worries about the affect that these vacations had for my daughter. I do know that the social workers involved thought that these vacations were totally acceptable.
I would either set up respite for the time you'll be gone, or, if the timing works out, close your home temporarily for your "break."
We wanted a summer vacation and were told our FS was going to be with us all summer, so we planned with him in mind. We didn't go as far away as we would have liked, only planned a weekend instead of a week, etc. I thought we did a good job meeting everyone's needs with the planning. Turns out, he suddenly (with two weeks' notice) got moved the day we left. If we'd had a month or more, we could have had a nice long vacation. Instead, we left for our weekend a little later, and without FS. It turned out to be a nice, relaxing weekend anyway.
We closed our home for that weekend and a few weeks beyond to get ourselves together and enjoy part of our summer "just us." It worked out well, and we had no pressure to reopen before we were ready.
I don't think there's anything wrong with putting the kids in respite if you need to. It's better than resenting them for not being able to take a vacation, and way better than resenting them for "ruining" a family vacation. Plus, I have heard that lots of times the kids love going to respite b/c it's like a vacation for them, too.
We take a lot of breaks because we keep having biological children! We are currently on a 2 - 4 year break, until this about-to-be baby is between the ages of 2 & 4. I let our cw know once I'm pg & he puts us on "no vacancy" until we are ready again. We did respite for another mom earlier this summer. She was flying across the country to visit some relatives and, while she would have had no problem taking her dfd, since dfd was 1, it meant buy her a plane ticket or have her ride on lap for 6+ hours. Her baby was able to stay with us and play with our kids, no problem. She cried some cuz she didn't know us and wanted me with her all the time, but overall it was positive for everyone. If you do not have foster kids close to the time of the trip, let your cw know that you are "no vacancy" until you come back. It's really no big deal. If you have kid(s) that could handle the trip and you want to take them, take them. If they couldn't handle it, you should have enough time before your trip to schedule respite.
If it were me, I probably would go on no vacancy at the beginning of the summer just to be on the safe side, if we did not already have a foster placement. It would put my mind at ease, no "what ifs". Then go back on vacancy when we returned from the trip. Fostering is definitely also hard on the kids who live with you, I would enjoy the mental break for me AND them.
We have provided respite for a foster family for the same sibling group three different times, usually for about a week. It has allowed them to enjoy a family event and go on a vacation alone. We have a little farm and same-age kids who got along pretty well, so the children in care accepted the respite very well thinking it of their own vacation.
1 me + 1 hubby + 4 kids + 5 goats + 3 pigs + 3 dozen chickens + 6 ducks = 1 crazy place
I always felt uncomfortable with respite. It was as much a matter of not knowing the family (and type of family) that would have my "kids" and partly because I felt like they would feel abandoned again and/or not a part of the family... especially hearing about our adventures when we got back.
So yeah, we did take breaks. And to be honest, it wasn't even just to go on trips or anything--it was a time for our family to reconnect and just "be" in a way that we really couldn't be with the other kids in the house. We learned to take 8-10 weeks at a time because it TOOK you a full month to feel like you were alone again. Like the other shoe wasn't going to fall. Don't get me wrong: we rarely had a really difficult placement... but things were just different and we didn't even realize that until we were on our first break (which happened by accident). After that, we instituted breaks.
In our case, we just kept in close contact with our resource worker (it's like the caseworker assigned to the care and feeding of the foster/resource families). They were good about it.

We're on our third placement, and have had a break of at least a month. Etween each placement. That seems like a very good thing.
We actually met the kids we have now while doing respite for their previous foster family, who apparently used it a great deal. (There were many issues with that family that we have been working through with the kids...)
So, my goal is to not use respite. Our only form of 'respite' is our parents, who have their licenses, and I don't think of that as respite; just what a family does. (our bio son and any kids placed here visit the grandparents for occasional evenings away for DH and I; they love it.)
We are going to plan multiple trips during July. I guess as soon as these guys leave (maybe Sept.?) I'll try to get the info in our file and we'll start notifying the social workers when they call that they can certainly place kids with us, but we will be 'closed' and they can use their best judgement on whether we would be a good place for that child. My concern is that social workers will say 'no problem, it should be a short placement' to get the kids in (we have 2 openings and our area, as in all areas, is desperate for sibling placements) and then we'll be in a sticky situation in June when kids are still here and we are leaving. Our parents can't take kids for that long, and I hate, hate, hate the idea of taking our son on an adventure and leaving other kids behind. Like I said, I am open to taking them, but there is always the possibility of kids who can't hang with it, such as these two.
I guess IF we are in that situation it will go back to the social worker, not us, (as we warned him/her) but that won't help the kids at all...
Anyway, the only breaks we take are between placements. We actually just canceled a much-needed vacation so we could take a placement of preemie twins who are our son's brothers.
We're really picky about placements now and only accept bio relatives to our adopted son or children with a very high chance of becoming adoptable. We figure we'll invest a few hard years now without regular family vacations in order to be able to take them in the future. Once we've built our family of 2-3 children, we will probably just stop fostering until our kids are grown. It's just way too stressful and restrictive.
Most of me thinks you need to do anything you can to keep yourself "charged" to be a good foster parent. A tiny piece of me worries about the affect that these vacations had for my daughter. I do know that the social workers involved thought that these vacations were totally acceptable.

Superb show, excellent fights
Superb show, excellent fights
Someone fill me in, what did Whiteford say? Was Stevenson close to finishing Turner in the first?
any videos???
Gutted I missed it, this is the first show I've missed. Glad rich and chris and the whole vision team put on another fantastic event.
Sounds like some cracking fights were on display.
Where videos?
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Fights are being shown on TV at some point so don't know if they'll be online
Great show, Very well matched fights well done lads.
Peter McCafferty vs Ryan McShane was amazing and people are forgetting that it was only Peters second and Ryans first fight!
The Hammer brought it, Svennson can argue about the stoppage if he wants but he was not defending the 30 odd punches to the face was he?! haha
WWW.BRIANHYSLOP.COM Dinky Ninja Fight Team #1
Well in Mark Handley. Never doubted ya!!!
The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
Great show, well done the vision team.
Couple things from my point of view, first fight a couple guys seemed annoyed at the stoppage, The lad from lions den wasnt defending him self getting hit with shots from mount, some hit the gloves but some got through he wasnt trying to improve his position and not intelligently defending himself. Not going to let him get beat senseless over a c class fight and £100
Fight with Christopher Svenson, he diliberately kept the arm triangle on after the guy had tapped, after i told him the fight was over and even after i tried to seperate them, bit of a poor showing on his part. His opponent did go out after he tapped but was ok.
From what i seen Peter mccafferty was excellent, seen him sparring at the griphouse last few weeks, keep an eye on this kid.
Good result for Jamie Nolan, i expected Gaz P to take that fight, and with Graham armstrong winning, decent night for Mataleon. Well done Dean Caldwell.
Shaun Taylor looked very impressive beating an unbeaten guy from a good team and behaving himself.
Whiteford made a massive statement on the European scene doing what i expected to and jumping on Svenson, the idea of a bad stoppage here is absurd, the fence kept Svenson up or he would have been on the timekeepers table. Dont try and spoil a great achievement from Rab by moaning about it. Rab's ready for big things.
Turner showed how tough he is again, he fucked a throw in round one and ended stuck under mount, Adam landed some good shots initially breaking Grahams nose, it was never near getting stopped though. The broken nose meant graham had to change up his game plan mid fight and win the last 4 rounds. Adam as everyone knows is a tough tough guy and kept going when a lot of people would have took outs. All the guys in our team have nothing but respect for Adam. Turners now got 19 pro wins under his belt at 24 years old.
Guys at the show got to see 2 excellent champions getting crowned.

Replacing current implants with 800cc high profile silicone. Is it worth it?
- italianprincessnj
- Last updated: 5 years ago
I currently have 700cc moderate profile (I think, since they are wide) silicone implants that are under the muscle. I'm a big D cup. I want to go bigger and I want my breasts to stick out further. I want to be a DDD. Can I accomplish this by going up to 800cc with a high profile implant? I know I can accomplish a DDD size with saline implants since you can go beyond 800cc, but I want to stick with silicone.

Thor is epic. It's not true to the lore but it's a good film. There are no spoilers in this review (from my POV). Disappointments? Sure. Rene Russo was less than epic as Frigga.

Wyrd Designs – The Holy Tides – Winter Nights
Just as our pagan cousins celebrate the eight major sabbats or holidays that comprise the Wheel of the Year, for those of us in the Northern Tradition we too have somewhat similar key celebrations that we call holy tides. Some of these celebrations, like the one now upon us known as Winter Nights, are more [Read More…]

When it comes to religious, pagan celebrations most people are familiar with the eight holy days or sabbats that comprise the Wheel of the Year. In the Northern Tradition, we do not call these celebrations sabbats. Instead, based on words (like the Old Norse hátíðir) used to describe the most holy of these celebrations (like [Read More…]

At first I thought it was a temporary fluke of some sort, but now, after more than three hours, I'm absolutely sure that Google Reader has some sort of problem. I've yet to receive a single update from Reader eventhough I'm very sure that there are new items in my subscriptions list. The last update I received was this post from PapaJoneh.
I'm starting to get really irritated by Google Reader and I think it's inevitable now for me to look for a more reliable feed reader. Here are some things that I dislike about Google Reader:
- Lack of search facilities
- Mysterious update cycle; I have no idea when subscription are updated, but I know for a fact that it's not "live". I've lost more than my fair share of ReviewMe opportunities because of this
- Doesn't accept spaces in tags
Yup, that's not a lot, I know. However, in terms of quality of feed reading, the first two items alone are very irritating to me as a feed subscriber. Of course the recent release of Google Gears and email-to-friends features in Reader got more than its fair share of web exposure, however, I fail to understand why more effort wasn't put into the core function of Google Reader; ie. improving the feed subscription and reading experience.
Do you use an online feed reader? Yes? Please recommend some to me. I got a feeling that I'll be dumping Google Reader very soon.

Four Injured In Iowa Crash
Four people were injured when a pickup and SUV collided on Highway 92 near Griswold, Iowa around 10:30 Friday morning.
Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker tells NewsRadio 1110 KFAB it appears one vehicle turned in front of the second one near the Pottawattamie-Cass County line.
Three of the victims were taken to the Alegent Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha. Two of them had to be airlifted. The fourth victim was transported to the hospital in Atlantic, Iowa
A witness said there were elderly couples in each vehicle.


text: I'm trying to find out what the base price would be on an unrestored 1956 Chevy Stepside. 6 cyl on the column. Straight body, hasn't been run in years and probably needs a fair amount of work to get it running again, but in good basic shape. Rust, but nothing extreme. Where would I go to find out what it should be worth? Don't want to make an offer until I have a general idea. Thanks!


text: Hi all, I just joined this site and it looks like there are a lot of knowledgable people on here. I have an 09 WRX with 23.3k miles on it, I have a Cobb AP flashed currently to stage 2+AEM 91 severe low wastegate. I live in the chicago area and the temperature has dropped a bit since winter is about here. I have an AEM CAI, and catless exhaust with the tune. I was driving the other day and just as I was getting under boost the car starts hesitating in 3rd gear and kind of sputtering and the acceleration was pretty bad. I think it is because it is colder out so tonight I tried to log it but didn't get a great log since it just hesitated a bit and the exhaust sounds like it backfires when I let off the throttle. I have no trouble codes at all, it drives fine when I am not trying to get power out of it and I don't really beat it up that much so I'm thinking I was over boosting or on the verge of it or maybe a boost leak. Can someone advise me on what could be happening?

We want to do this, too. We don't have a house in mind yet, not planning until next spring or so. But we'll have probably 10% to put down at the time. We think we'd rather go for a big house that's not pretty than a small house that's "move-in ready". After-all, we'll have 5 kids... And a small budget... But I've never been through renovations before. (well, not by a professional. Dh once reno'd our tiny bathroom. Took him 3 years to get it finished! NEVER again!) Were you able to live in the house while this major work was going on? Or did you plan to stay in your old home/apt while the reno was being done? How long did it take you?

1. Re: ADF Faces or FaceletsShay Shmeltzer-Oracle Dec 24, 2008 12:25 AM (in response to 670507)For future reference you might want to post these type of questions on the JDeveloper forum which is a bit more active:
JDeveloper and ADF
In any case - facelets is just a JSF implemantation and a templating mechanism.
ADF Faces is a set of JSF components that can run on either the RI or the Facelets implementations of JSF.
What ADF Faces gives you is over a 150 components that you can use to create your forms - those components have built in Ajax functionality.
When you choose to use facelets - you'll still need to choose a set of JSF components - and those can be the ADF Faces components.
The one area where Facelets and ADF Faces both have solutions for is templating for JSF - you can use either of them.
The question is why do you think you'll loose flexibility when using ADF Faces vs Facelets?

We've started a new blog for our news check it out here
We are a group of divers who are dedicated to the exploration of the marine, river and cave environments of Western Australia (and the rest of the world) and to having serious fun in the process.
We believe that the safest and most effective method to achieve this goal is to follow the DIR (Doing It Right) philosophy of diving as taught through Global Underwater Explorers.
Our goal is to enjoy:
This is a largely Members Only site where we can keep each other up to date with whats happening and share resources.

It has been suspected by most people with at least half a brain in their heads that the media has been lying to them. Nobody trusts the media anymore. Nobody looks at their news, be it newspaper or television broadcast, and thinks that what they are seeing is telling them the truth.
Some might think that this is a bad thing, but in reality, it is not. It is a good thing, especially for us. Our (((enemies))) in the media are losing their credibility, so there will necessarily be a kind of void that can be filled. We only need to tell the truth and use facts, and people will come to us. People that have agency and are focused on politics can tell, especially in the information age of the internet where we can fact check things easier than any generation in existence before us, whether or not a media outlet is lying to them.
The media has been crying wolf for so long that nobody takes it seriously anymore. So now when they want people to believe in their message they are kind of screwed. For too long, they have been saying that rioters lighting cities on fire and chanting for the deaths of our wonderful police officers are "peaceful protesters." They have been saying that people who bash people's head into concrete are victims of racial violence when they get shot by the people they are trying to murder.
Hey, Trayvon was a gud boi he dindu nuffin!
People have been hearing this narrative for a long time, and they are fed up. They are fed up with being able to fact check liberal race narratives online and see how blatantly dishonest and contrived they are.
The right wing doesn't gain popularity in this country until after the left keeps pushing and pushing their own agendas and nonsense. It isn't until "peaceful protesters" attempt to murder politicians that the people with agency that aren't shitlords actually realize how dishonest the left in general and the media in particular actually is. It isn't until these crooks pedestalize those who subvert our society by threatening to murder people for not believing the same "tolerant liberal" things that they do that people can see how severely lacking in principles the left ultimately is.
And so what does the media do after all this crying wolf? After all this ridiculous nonsense about "hands up, don't shoot" and "Black lives matter"? Do they 'fess up and come clean, telling people that they have been dishonest? or do they double down on their narratives and their lies?
They double down on their lies, of course!
So now, not only is the media blatantly lying about politicians and political campaigns that they don't like, but now they are also treating people who assassinate these same people like they are some kind of hero. The headline that should scare anyone into speechlessness was this, which is an article run on CNN. CNN has given an interview to the attempted murderer of Donald Trump. This man, by the way, claimed that he "wanted to be a martyr."
A martyr? A martyr for what? A snobbish class of (((globalist elites))) who want to sell out our country to foreigners so they can turn a profit? Rich (((one-percenters))) who want to break our laws by importing millions of illegal immigrants?
(And yes, you are only doing the bidding of the people you hate if you hate the "one percent" yet are pro-immigration. It's basic supply and demand. If you increase the supply of a commodity without increasing it's demand, the price goes down. Labor is a commodity, and is therefore subject to supply and demand, so the value of wages will go down by importing millions of workers. This is not really all that difficult to understand, but I doubt you paid attention to economics class in high school or college. Tl;dr: illegal immigration is a labor-busting operation.)
And as for the media crying wolf, I read a piece earlier today where even some journalists on the right were leaving (((Breitbart))) in the wake of the (((Michelle Fields))) scam because it was becoming a "propaganda mouthpiece for Donald Trump's campaign" or some such nonsense like that. The mainstream media seemed to gloat over this, like it had won something.
Don't those journalists see that the only other place they can get a job is with these media crooks? Don't they realize that their only other option are local broadcasting in the middle of what they would, given the propensity of media people to be leftists and left-leaning, probably sneeringly call "flyover states"? It's either that, or the (((mainstream media crooks))) that I mentioned earlier.
If they knew anything, they would see what we all can see, and that is that the mainstream media is implicitly condoning the assassination of a presidential candidate.
What the hell is wrong with these people?
Speaking of (((Michelle Fields))), it has basically been thoroughly debunked by video evidence that her allegations are false. For those of you who have been living underneath a rock, this woman alleged that Donald Trump's campaign manager had assaulted her like she was some kind of rag doll. Upon this story hitting the mainstream, (((Ben Shapiro))) quit (((Breitbart))) along with this (((Michelle Fields))) woman over (((Breitbart's))) alleged support of Donald Trump in the wake of the allegations.
Damn, that was a lot of echo to type!
I don't read (((Breitbart))) all that often, but the video clearly showed that Trump's campaign manager did not choke, slam or accost this woman on any level. Clearly the allegations were bullshit from the beginning. A room full of journalists and cameramen and not a single one of them recorded an altercation of any kind, no police report was filed, and no audio or video was released by this (((Fields))) woman.
You know, it's the same woman who has repeatedly lied about men physically assaulting and sexually assaulting her and cried 'victim.' Yeah, that woman.
So now this lügenpresse is promoting blatant lies as though they are true. Not only that, but they are treating the man who tried to murder one of our great nation's political candidates as though he is some kind of rebellious counter-cultural icon.
Our (((wolf-criers))) in the media have done nothing but shout and shout blatant lies. "Everyone is racist," "if you are lower than me on the progressive stack, then you are a Nazi that wants to oven 6 bazillion jooz, or are just a monstrous privileged, ableist, cisgendered, scumbag shitlord that needs to check his privilege," etc. Even blue-pilled normies are fed up at how blatantly this nonsense is being beaten across their heads and how mind-numbingly dull and predictable these degenerates are.
Fortunately, when the wolves finally come, there will be nobody to hear their shouting anymore. These major media corporations would never again have a job if Donald Trump's proposition to bring back slander and libel laws was enacted. People are tired of these (((people.)))
Don't weep for them when nobody is there to listen when the worst happens to them. Don't give any of them a single shekel when they are homeless and on the streets after Donald Trump sues them into poverty for blatantly lying and slandering him and every other right-winger.
Don't you dare shed a single tear. They've abused their power for too long, and watching the (((media))) lose their minds as the most successful candidate in years calls them out on their lies and nonsense is fantastic.
They've cried wolf and nobody will listen anymore. And that should fill us with hope.

Energy Materials and Climate Change
Thursday, August 11, 2011, Noon
Building 50 Auditorium
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
The widespread integration of renewable, intermittent energy sources such as wind or solar is dependent upon the development of efficient large-scale energy storage systems for load-leveling the electric grid. Similarly, the acceptance of plug-in hybrid electric — and especially pure electric vehicles — hinges on the availability of intermediate scale, safe, low-cost energy storage batteries to provide driving ranges that exceed the psychological barrier of 100 miles. The first part of the talk will present a perspective of energy storage systems based on Li-ion batteries, and a synopsis of their fundamental chemical and materials science basis. The challenges, opportunities and perceived limits for future improvements will be presented, including storage devices that go beyond Li-ion. In particular, significant advances are possible through the exploitation of nanoporous materials and these will be highlighted in the second part.

Wouldn't it be great if you could get the front page for newspapers all over the world? Well, now you can with Newseum! Just select the country you want to see the newspaper for from the tabs at the top of the map. You can choose from: USA, North America, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, Middle East, Oceania, South America and Africa.
If you don't like clicking around on the map, you can view the front pages of today's newspapers two more ways. You can view them as a thumbnail gallery by selecting Gallery or you can view them as a list by selecting List. You can also always go back to viewing the map by selecting Map.
I like this Web site, because I can read the front page news from my hometown of Lorain, Ohio! It gives me a brief glance into what's going on back home. I just go to the USA map and mouse over Ohio until I see the Morning Journal come up. I click on it and it opens the front page in a new window for me.
Now, I also want to mention the navigation links at the very top of the page. Those links give you the option to print out the front page you're looking at, view it in a .PDF format, as well as, closing the page out.
I think this Web site is bookmark worthy. Check it out today!
