A FAMILY will hold a charity fun day in Bury in memory of their stillborn son — who died after his mother had undergone three years of fertility treatment in order to conceive.
Tyler Heys was stillborn on January 24 in North Manchester General Hospital, six weeks before his due date.
His parents, Bobbie Jackson and Jason Heys, were heartbroken and decided to make sure their son was not forgotten, and started to raise money for Sands, a stillbirth and neo-natal death charity.
Miss Jackson was told she could not have children, but had three years of treatment, only to lose her son in unexplained circumstances.
In addition, Mr Heys had planned to propose to his partner once Tyler had been born, but their marriage plans have now been put on hold.
Miss Jackson, of Walmersley Road, said: "Losing a child is every parent's worst nightmare. We could not gain answers to why this had happened, it was such a difficult time and still is.
"In this journey we found we were not alone. Many families experience stillbirths, cot death and miscarriages daily."
The fun day will be held on Saturday at Burrs Country Park, featuring a barbecue, arts and crafts and a range of entertainment in Tyler's memory.
There will also be a memory book, for people to offer their reflections and any similar experiences they have encountered.
Bury world champion boxer Scott Quigg has lent his support after hearing the story, and has donated a number of signed prizes for a raffle.
The 25-year-old said: "Bobbie and Jason told me about Tyler, it's so sad. I donated a glove and wanted to support the fun day at Burrs Country park and hopefully raise some funds for the Sands charity."
Miss Jackson says that more than £3,500 has been raised for the charity, and that it will be focused on services in Manchester.
The 29-year-old added: "It has been a difficult six months, losing a child after three years of trying to conceive and rebuilding our lives without Tyler here.
"It is so important to support a charity like Sands so that they can continue to support families like mine, and to invest into research to help parents understand why this happens."
The fun day starts at noon, and admission is free.

Raising interest rates to keep house prices under control risks "sizeable" increases in unemployment and could even undermine central banks' efforts to keep inflation stable, according to the chairman of the US Federal Reserve.
Janet Yellen said using tighter monetary policy to address financial stability risks was a "very blunt tool" with "significant limitations" that would increase the volatility of inflation and employment.
She said a range of studies had concluded that using interest rates to head off the US housing bubble during the mid 2000s would have caused significant damage to the economy while having a very "modest" impact on price rises. "A very significant tightening, with large increases in unemployment, would have been necessary to halt the housing bubble," she said in a speech on Wednesday.
While Ms Yellen did not rule out using rate rises to curb risks to financial stability, she said a macroprudential approach to supervision and regulation needed to play "the primary role" in managing these risks.
"Macroprudential policies, such as regulatory limits on leverage and short-term funding, as well as stronger underwriting standards, represent far more direct and likely more effective methods to address ... vulnerabilities," she said. "I do not presently see a need for monetary policy to deviate from a primary focus on attaining price stability and maximum employment."
Ms Yellen's sentiment was echoed on Wednesday by Andy Haldane, chief economist at the Bank of England, who described UK monetary policy as the "last line of defence" against financial stability risks.
Mr Haldane said that while there was a risk that some financial markets were getting "over-egged", it was the responsibility of macroprudential and regulatory policy to address these risks. "We've said at the Bank that monetary policy can on occasions have a role to play in insuring against these financial stability risks - not as a first line of defence but sometimes as a last line of defence."
Ms Yellen said policymakers should also focus on creating a "resilient financial system" which would make identifying bubbles less critical. "Such an approach should focus on 'through the cycle' standards that increase the resilience of the financial system to adverse shocks and on efforts to ensure that the regulatory umbrella will cover previously uncovered systemically important institutions and activities," she said.
Kristin Forbes, who joins the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee next week, recently highlighted the link between mortgage defaults and unemployment. In an evidence session with the Treasury Select Committee, she cited a study by the Boston Fed that found mortgage defaults in America were mainly triggered by job losses, not higher interest rates.
Meanwhile, Mr Haldane said he saw "precious little evidence" of the wage and inflation pressures that might lead the Bank to raise interest rates. "There is a chance that we are structurally overestimating inflation and wage pressures in Europe. That's why we are where we are," he said.

Despite changes in government and a turnover in administrations, one thing remains the same: agencies are under pressure to improve citizen services while reducing costs. A key strategy to achieving this resulted in the "Cloud First" directive in 2011: a step to push agencies to the Cloud for the common good. It stated:
Today's guest post is by Vamsee Kasavajhala, Principal Product Manager for the Oracle MiniCluster.
Issuing advisories has a cost: It costs the security team significant amounts of time to craft and send the advisories; it costs many of our downstreams time to apply, build, and test patches; and it costs many of our users time to decide whether to do an update, and if so, to test and deploy it.
Given this, the Xen Project Security Team wants to clarify when they should issue an advisory or not: the Xen Security Response Process only mentions "'vulnerabilities", without specifying what constitutes a vulnerability.
I asked Carl Olofson, Research VP, Application Development and Deployment, IDC to give our readers his view on where Oracle Exadata Database Machine fits in a company's digital transformation strategy. Here is his take...
Your company's digital strategy may be about entering new geographies or markets, launching new products and services, or improving customer loyalty – all to drive business growth. But this also puts your IT organization under intense pressures these days.
If you think about it, almost every business today is, in some fashion, a technology business. From SMBs to global enterprises, businesses depend on technology to manage operations, find new customers, communicate with customers, make important business decisions, and stay competitive. Technology goes beyond just driving operational efficiency and reducing costs. More and more, data and the technology that transforms it into knowledge drive business innovation and competitive advantage.
For all you cloud administrators out there, we salute you. We understand that managing private cloud environments can be complex. You have to provide secure and fully-isolated compute and networking resources for a whole host of different stakeholder organizations in order to support their myriad of critical enterprise applications. That means you have to monitor the hardware, troubleshoot incidents, execute disaster recovery plans, provision and migrate VMs, and even provide reporting on usage and chargebacks. Wow. I get tired just thinking about it.
As the new operational model of choice, cloud is changing how organizations work. It enables you to create new technologies, new applications, and new delivery models. It can help you work smarter and bring products to market faster. And eventually, your organization will rely on the cloud to run its entire operation.
Last month, we hosted a conversation around leveraging Oracle MiniCluster's simplicity, out-of-the-box performance and reliability to help enterprises adopt the same type of DevOps model that agile startups have adopted.
Big data is only going to get bigger. IDC projects that, "…by the year 2020, about 1.7 megabytes of new information will be created every second for every human being on the planet." And by that same time, Baseline projects that 1/3 or more of that data will pass through the cloud.

We are piloting iPads in our elementary campus this year, in groups of 5 per classroom. We offered the chance for our e-Learning leaders to apply for the opportunity, and almost all of them jumped at the chance. It has been an exciting and steep learning curve for us so far. Since I had never used them in the classroom myself, it has been a year of networking, learning, researching, reflecting and collaborating. It has been incredible watching the iPads literally transform the learning environment in the classroom. In addition, we also have a hub of 20 iPads in the library that can be signed out as a class set. In no particular order, here are some insights and reflections from our pilot:
10. Logistics are what frustrates teachers the most, and also what is the most difficult to manage. Since iPads are actually not designed to be shared devices, we have run into several problems with accounts and sharing. Figure out consistent systems for buying apps, managing the plethora of iTunes accounts, and common agreements for charging, management and organization of the devices.
9. Have an iPad PLC. Our team of e-Learning leaders meets about once a month to reflect on the experience, share ideas, and problem solve. This has been invaluable. As we move forward and continue to roll out iPads to the rest of the classrooms next year, we need leverage the power of our e-Learning leaders and offer more opportunities for iPad PLCs.
8. Mess around. The teachers that have been most successfully integrating the iPads into their classrooms have been willing to try new ideas, have collaborated, and been very comfortable with the unknown. You don't need to be remotely tech savvy to be successful!
7. Buy the right accessories. Our first cases were terrible, and did more damage than good. We didn't have 'dongles' to connect them to our projectors or docking systems for charging. If you are going to go for it, do it right!
6. Focus on creation apps, not content specific apps. This is where kids are enhancing their learning, and developing their higher order thinking skills. Using the iPad for edutainment is not in our game plan.
5. In your Professional Development sessions, actually show teachers examples of student work or the possibilities with different apps. Run the PD as an informal symposium where teachers can showcase or explain how they managed a particular learning task. We got the most positive feedback from these sessions.
4. Don't reinvent the wheel. So many schools and so many people have done this work before you. Get on Twitter, e-mail your friends, ask around. On so many occasions we found out that other schools had been struggling with the exact same challenges.
3. Make a plan. But don't be afraid to change it.
2. You do not need to be an expert on an app in order to introduce it to your class. So many times, we have discovered features of an app together. Our students feel proud to be testing the apps, increasing their sense of ownership and even writing app reviews on the blogs.
1. Keep yourself grounded in student learning. When people ask what my job is, I tell them it is to move student learning forward. I just happen to be a Technology Coach. Technological bells and whistles should never distract from meaningful and authentic learning.
What other insights would you add to this list?

The Ball Drop
Can you imagine what it feels like to be crammed in the same spot on the same street for 8 hours? It was killer. The first countdown they did was to 'celebrate' that we only had 6 hours left standing on the street until midnight. I seriously thought we were going to have to leave. We did have a great view of the ball drop though and they did put some good entertainment on. Carley ray Jepson, psy and Taylor swift kept us going along with a few cool people we were stood next to.
7 countdowns later and the clock struck midnight. I really didn't think it was ever gonna come. It was an amazing experience though when all the confetti came down and everyone was 'happy new yearing' I'm glad we went but I'm also glad we will never ever have to do it again. Like ever.
Happy New Year Everyone!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –- The Progressive Insurance Nashville Boat and Sportshow for recreational boaters, fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts is preparing to launch in its new home – the Music City Center – from Thursday, Jan. 23, through Sunday, Jan. 26.
The show will feature hundreds of new boats for sale, plus a dose of summer fun with nautical attractions and educational offerings for all ages.
There will also be a special appearance by John Godwin from the hit series "Duck Dynasty." Goodwin will make an appearance Sunday, Jan. 26, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Godwin is a recurring guest on "Duck Dynasty" and has been an employee of Duck Commander since 2002.
His main title at Duck Commander is decoy technician, which means he figures out the exact spots decoys should be placed and works on all equipment after the hunt to make sure it is ready for the next day's hunt. He also builds the duck calls, manages supplies and oversees the shipping department.
Other new features slated for this year include the "Be a Diver" pool that will give attendees the opportunity to scuba dive for free, while a replica of a real pirate ship will be on hand to let adults and children dress like a pirate and have their picture taken.
Show staples, including the fishing seminar series and the Bass Tubs of Oklahoma Fish Tank, will be back again this year.
Returning to the show is Paddlefest, hosted by Canoe Kentucky, to provide attendees a chance to try out kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddle boards in a large on-site pool. It has become one of the most popular demonstrations at the show as interest in those sports has increased in recent years.
"Because Middle Tennessee is full of small rivers and waterways that are ideal for paddle boats, coupled with an active-lifestyle population, we expect Paddlefest to draw a lot of attention again this year," said Kim Muncy, the show manager.
The popular annual show will begin taking advantage of the increased space and amenities at the new location with hundreds of boats.
The new 180,000-square-foot location will also allow the show to expand further in the coming years, organizers said.
Other features will include daily fishing seminars for all experience levels from local professional angler Joey Monteleone, and free kids boating safety sessions through the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital Water Wise Program.
Tickets are $6 on Thursday, Jan. 23, for those 16 and older, and $9 the following three days. Children younger than 15 are admitted free throughout the show.
To purchase tickets or find out more information about the boat show, visit www.nashvilleboatshow.com.

Persian Visions
Memories of a Bloody Revolution
The Revolution of 1979 saw
two different cultures clash violently. Overnight women's lives changed. Homes
were taken away, Iranians lived in fear of executions and women lost all power.
The atrocities of Ayatollah Khamenei made martyrs of many men and women.
Vahdat fled her homeland and journeyed to Barcelona, London, Texas and, finally, Milwaukee. She finds inspiration for her paintings and prints in the religion of Zoroaster-Baha'i. This belief is one of a healing cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Her abstract painting, A PersianGarden, presents a pregnant woman in a fertile field of pomegranate and fig trees as seen through eyes of children. Pomegranates symbolize knowledge from the tree of life, and figs signify the abundance of food and well being. To portray the violence of the Revolution, a large mural was inspired by Picasso's Guernica.
Her most recent series of prints, "What WillBefall Her?"and "Objects of Violence"show the sufferings of women and children in Tehran. Her prints are stripped down of all color, shading, and oil mediums to witness the stark realities of rape, murder, child trafficking and fear.
These compassionate drawings are done with charcoal pencils on blank paper. One poignant sketch shows a pregnant woman's embryo stressed by Tehran's social upheaval. Others show a rape victim ostracized by the community and boys and girls violated by slave dealers.
Passionately and sometimes tearfully, she reveals these heroes. Her response to her experiences has always been non-violent.�She continues to teach at MIAD and to bear witness to Tehran's chaos in her role as an artist and a war-tested warrior. ��

What is the ECB doing?
The ECB has reopened what had become a dormant programme of buying the debt of various eurozone countries in the secondary market. It's a fire-fighting measure to try to calm markets. Having bought Greek, Irish and Portuguese bonds, they are for the first time this week now buying Italian and Spanish debt.

2 Broke Girls: Scoop on the future of Max and Caroline's cupcake business from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez
Here's some scoop on 2 Broke Girls from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez's The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 1/22/13.
I'm a big CBS comedy girl. So anything on HIMYM, BBT or 2 Broke? — Nikki
Max and Caroline have faced many foes on their path to success but here's one they probably could have never seen coming: a puppeteer. In an upcoming episode, the two will encounter a man with a sick obsession with marionettes who plans to sue the girls for damages after injuries are sustained. Did I mention the injuried party is a puppet?
2 Broke Girls returns with 2×15, 'And The Psychic Shakedown,' on Monday, February 4, 2013 at 9pm on CBS.

Note: This article was updated on August 29, 2014. Visit 70 Common Things That Go Wrong During a Disaster.
Prepper and survival tips, tools, and strategies for becoming self-reliant at any age
RamboMoe says
That's a good list, there is a lot of stuff on here I have never thought about.
Chandra says
Seems to me to be a good idea to have some preps stored somewhere besides your home. In case your home is inaccessable. Also store fuel and food seperately so your food does not burn up too in a fire.
Patriot4Ever says
There are MANY things you left off the list. I am referring to TEOTWAWKI / SHTF type scenario's, not a natural disaster. In that situation, you would not be working WITH Government agencies, but the opposite, as they ARE the problem then. There will be racial violence, looters/marauders, house to house raids, supplies from external sources would be non-existent, etc. I won't enumerate them here in open communication, but a diligent Google search yields a wealth of information. To adequately envision the scenario I described, combine aspects from the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Vietnam War, Race Riots,Mad Max, and Enemy of the State … You'll get the picture then!
Ron G says
Excellent article. After 14 years of Emergency Management I think you nailed this one.

A/N: I know, I know, long time no chapter. But I had some family matters to deal with, and softball has been hectic. Then I got this taken away while I was writing. Forgive me? Or you can yell at me in a review.
From last chapter:
A few hours later, the pair was sitting on the couch. It had been a long day for both of them, and they were pretty worn out.
They had spent a while chasing Cucumber throughout the apartment building while in his batman outfit. That had definitely been fun. Jane and Lisbon had been acting like a couple.
And as mindless TV shows plagued the television screen, a question haunted Jane's mind. He couldn't get rid of it.
"Lisbon?" He asked hesitantly. "Do you love me?"
Lisbon peeked through her eyelashes at Jane from her spot to his right, curled up around his arm. She wasn't sure that she had heard him right.
What would she say if she had?
Did she love him?
She knew that the definition of love was 'a strong affection or attraction' or something of the sort. Lisbon knew she was attracted to him, and she knew that he knew it too. Earlier today had definitely been a clue. How could he possibly think that saying he would only ever make love to her wouldn't want to make her jump his bones?
He truly was an idiot. An insufferable idiot at that.
But you didn't need to love someone to want to sleep with them, right? Because she definitely knew that she wanted Channing Tatum, but she didn't necessarily love him. Well, with that bod…
A strong affection. Did she have a strong affection for Jane? Yes, she knew that without thinking. All of the Red John cases flashed through her mind. How many times had she wanted to console him, comfort him in the warmth of her arms?
An infinite amount.
She turned to him, and gave him a horrified look.
"Jane! You don't the right to ask me that! You don't have the right. I wasn't the one that walked out! I was there. I showed you thousands of times that I will always be here for you. How dare you ask me that?"
"Teresa, I know I did you wrong by leaving! I just… I just kept having flashbacks. Of her," He looked guilty. "I didn't want it to be like that. I'm not married to her anymore, and I want you. I want to be with you. And I just wanted to hear you say you want me too,"
Jane had been seeing Angela while he was kissing her.
She looked devastated.
"I should've known," Lisbon laughed, "that you weren't over her. I don't even think I care about that. But to think that you were seeing her the whole time…"
She shook her head.
"I don't think I'll be able to do it,"
"Teresa," Jane said, grabbing her hands, "look at me. Please? I didn't want to do that to you, and I needed to sort a few things out, and I left without really thinking it through,"
Lisbon turned her eyes from his.
"I promise you it will never happen again. And if it does I will stop doing whatever I'm doing. I promise. I'd do anything to have you,"
"Yeah, okay Jane,"
"Anything," He practically growled. "I may not have showed you very often, but I love you. Only you,"
"How do I know you're not lying to me, Jane? I don't have any proof. You're in the negatives with the points, right now."
"Tomorrow," Jane told her, "tomorrow I will it all about you. Anything you want. Clothes, shopping, diamond ring, another pony, whatever you want. I don't care."
"So what, now that I don't want to deal with your crap, you will be perfect? Now that I've come to terms with it, you say you love me?"
"No, Jane. I stayed for hours waiting for you to come back, with a really good reason for why you left. When I cried, I begged you for a chance to make it up to you, but now I realized that it wasn't me. It was you,"
She looked back at him. "Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? I'm not your toy, Jane. You don't want my love. You just like to see me broken, huh? Well you got what you wanted,"
A tear trickled down Jane's cheek. He didn't even try to hide it.
"That's what you really think, isn't it? Why won't you let me make it up to you? Why won't you let me be with you?"
"Dammit, Jane! I'm scared,"
"Why are you scared? What are you scared about?"
"I'm scared of what I might let you do, or what I might do for you that would seriously screw up my life. I'm scared of what you might do for me,"
"I will always be there for you, I will never go away. I will certainly never allow you to make a decision that would put you in danger," he told her, then cupped her face in his hands. "I love you. Please believe me, Dear. I meant it when I said anything."
Jane took Lisbon in his arms and stroked her beautiful raven hair with his fingers as they both cried. He kissed her cheek.
"I will always want you, even if you don't want me. I will always protect you. Will you let me be there for you, and make my job easier? Just tell me what I can do to be forgiven,"
Lisbon swallowed heavily. "I love you, Jane,"
"I know, Teresa. I know,"
A/N2: This was a super short chapter because I have to go to my Dad's house and I don't have anything ready. This is the last angsty chapter, the next few will be relatively happy. There will be a max of three more chapters, I think. Just tell me what you want in upcoming chapters, please.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A hot start at the plate by the University of Utah's offensive put the Roadrunner baseball team into a quick hole it was never able to climb out of in a 12-1 loss to the Utes Friday at Hardt Field.
The match-up was the first in a four-game series, which will continue with a doubleheader Saturday at 11 a.m.
Utah (2-3 overall) entered the game hitting .255 following a four-game season-opening series at Loyola Marymount, but quickly jumped on CSUB starting pitcher Mickey Jannis, scoring four runs in the first, three in the second and two in the third.
Leadoff Michael Beltran opened the game by reaching on a fielding error, and later scored on a single by Corey Shimada. Rick Cron followed with an RBI single and Austin Jones capped off the first-inning scoring with a two RBI home run to left field.
Four hits accounted for the Utes three second-inning runs, including a home run by Shimada, while three hits scored two runs in the third.
Jacob Valenzuela replaced Jannis in the fourth, holding Utah scoreless in the inning, but a three RBI homer by Cornu put the Utes up 12-0 through five innings.
Things settled down for the Bakersfield pitching staff after that, as freshman Spenser Messmore threw three successful innings, striking out one and giving up just one hit, and Korie Walkley closed out the ninth by allowing one hit and forcing three ground outs.
The 'Runners (2-3 overall) were able to get one run back in the sixth, beginning with a Brandon Boren single up the middle. With two outs and Boren on second, Jeremy Rodriguez hit and RBI single to center. Martin Medina looked to keep the rally going with a single up the middle, but Jason Kudlock flied out to right field to end the inning.
Brian Budrow took the win for Utah, striking out six and allowing one run on eight hits in seven innings of work. Tyler Andersen pitched two innings or relief, striking out four and allowing a pair of hits.
Score by Innings R H E
Utah................ 432 030 000 - 12 13 0

Using coupons has always been a great way to save money on the things that you buy regularly, and avid coupon fans will be happy to attest to that. Many people believe, however, that taking the time to find the right coupons is too difficult to make it worth their trouble. This really doesn't have to be the case, however, and the money you save using coupons is well worth finding out how to find the best coupon deals in the easiest way possible.
Online coupons have given a whole new meaning to saving money, and many people are beginning to realize just how easy it is to find them and use them. One way to find online coupons is to simply use an Internet search engine and search for online coupons for the merchandise that you are considering buying. Another way is to use some or all of the many online coupon web sites that are available. Online coupon web sites focus almost exclusively on giving consumers information on what online coupons are available at any given time, and how and where consumers can use them to save money. One of the best ways that online coupon web sites help consumers is by listing "coupon codes" for various online stores. Coupon codes are coupons that are basically all electronic – you simply enter these codes into a special box when you are purchasing something from on online store and the savings are deducted from the price before you finalize your purchase. Online coupon web sites will list the codes that are still valid, and let you know where they can be used. These web sites will almost always update their findings daily, so you can always be aware of what savings are offered at what stores every day. Though you may be able to get these coupon codes through the actual store's web site or through advertisements, it can save you a lot of time to be able to view all the codes at once on one web site.
Finding coupon deals is no problem once you put just a little bit of initial time and research into it. One of the first things that you want to do is go to your favorite search engine and enter such terms as "online coupons", "coupon codes", or perhaps "Internet coupons". The search engine will most likely bring up a large list of web sites that offer online coupons and online coupon codes. Check through a number of the sites and decide which ones have what you are looking for. Once you've narrowed it down to your favorite online coupon web sites, the next step is to put these on your browser's "favorites" list. If any of the online coupon web sites require registration, then do that also. Although there may be online coupon web sites that charge a fee to use them, there are plenty of good online coupon web sites that don't – and the latter are the ones that you want to use. Each day (or every other day if you like), take a little time to log on to the Internet and check your list of online coupon web sites. Look for the latest online coupons codes for the online stores that you frequent regularly, and also look for the latest printable coupons that you can use at the local stores that you go to.
For the online coupon codes, you can either write down the codes, how long they are good for and which stores you are going to use them at, or you could possibly keep a list in your own database or spreadsheet. It all depends on how Internet savvy you are or want to be! When it is time to do your online shopping, check your coupon codes, find the ones that you are going to use, and start saving money!
Once you get into the habit of you using online coupons and online coupon codes, especially through online coupon web sites, you'll see the savings that you are realizing almost immediately. In this day and age when the price of just about everything is at an all-time high, using online coupons and online coupon codes makes a great deal of sense. They can help you maintain the lifestyle you are accustomed to without having to stretch your already strained budget even further. Using online coupons to help save money on your regular purchases is a win-win situation all around.
With online coupons and online coupon codes, you can save money on basically any type of purchase. Groceries, appliances, pet products, automobile accessories, hotels, travel fares, restaurant meals – savings can be realized with all of these by using online coupons or online coupon codes. For most of the things that you purchase, there is simply no reason not to use online coupons.

Internet Coupon Shopping
What is it?
Internet coupon shopping is just what it sounds like: you can find them on the internet, and use them at a particular store's website. Even companies that are mostly offline- driven, now expect a certain portion of their sales to come from online – so they give offers and incentives to drive people to their websites. It also doesn't hurt that once a company's internet business credibility is establish, it's oh-so-easy to just keep clicking and adding to that little electronic shopping cart.
How do I do it?
You can find these coupons in all manner of places. In the newspaper, you might see an advertisement for a company, and at the bottom you might find a promo code – which you can then take to the company's website, and enter it in for a nice little discount.
Possibly the most frequently used offline-medium to driver shoppers online, will be found on the radio. The company runs an ad on the radio, and you hear it…but how great would it be if you could SEE it. They want you to SEE their company. So you'll almost always hear the website name, and around 30% of the time, you'll hear those magic words again: "Enter Promo Code XXXX, for a limited time offer."
Just in case you missed it: The promo code IS the Internet Coupon.
Can you use them over and over?
In some cases, the promo code is used not to give a discount, but to showcase certain products – as in a promotion. In that case, you'll probably be able to use it more than once. It would be like shopping in a store that sells buttons at 10% off. You buy 10 leave, and then walk back in: the buttons are still 10% off. That's a promotion.

Six Gift Shopping Tips to Keep Your Personal Information Safe
Tips for Gift Shopping Online
1. It's always safer to use your home computer. Just be a little wary of computers in public areas. There could be spyware on them that gives other users access to your financial information.
2. Type in the retailer's online web address rather than clicking through a link in an e-mail from the retailer. This will prevent you from being reeled in by a "phisher". A "phisher" uses a fake Web address and e-mail that pretends to be a real site. What may happen is, if you click "reply" on one of these phony e-mail messages, you are sent to the phony site where crooks can steal your passwords and financial information.
3. Always look for the padlock or a color bar at the bottom of an online retailer's Web site. This way you know that the information you enter is encrypted so no one can copy it.
4. Use more complex passwords and save them in a password manager. Using this software makes it easy to store multiple passwords. With it you only have to remember only one master password. How does a password manager work? You download it and it sits safe and secure on your browser along with the web address of your login pages. The first time you sign into an account of any kind the password manager asks if you want to save your username and password. You then give the username/password combination a name so you can locate it in the password manager.
5. You can use a single use credit card number. This is an excellent idea. Citibank, Bank of America, and Discover offer these numbers to cardholders. It's called the ShopSafe program. How it works is that you receive a number that is linked to your account but is not your actual credit card number. It keeps your true account number off the Web and out of merchant databases by generating a random, substitute number in its place.
6. Top search engine results are much more secure sites than those further down the list. If you're doing searches on the internet it's better to select sites higher up the list as possible on the first page of results.
Gift shopping is definitely a pleasure and convenience. If you follow these few tips, you'll have extra peace of mind knowing that your personal information is safe and secure.

Dogwood people, coming and going.
If you frequent our coffee bar and haven't noticed already, we have some new faces around here! We are excited to have some awesome new people on our team, but are also super sad to see two of them go.
Christopher Oppenhuis, former roaster and current barista, will be moving back to his original dancing turf of Chicago with his lady where he will be experiencing new, magical roasting fun and hopefully getting back to a healthy diet of Chicago style hot dogs and tacos.
Maria Driscoll is moving to NEW ZEALAND. No, really! Wow.
These two were also Dogwood's first competitors! Super exciting and we're very proud.
I am personally saddened to see these two go, since I have known them both for 7-8 years, before we made coffee together. I'm not sure exactly where Christopher and I met, but undoubtedly it was in some basement in Chicago over a case of PBR and some punk/noise/hardcore. It's a little blurry. Maria has been a close friend of my family for many years and has been with us and supportive over some difficult times. I will dearly miss working with both of them, but I'm also excited for their future adventures.
Our new Dogwood Coffee people are Kristin Clarke, Holly VerHage and Liz Elton! Check out the "people" section for bios, Liz's coming soon.
Cheers, stephanie

It took just two changes for the Vikings to defeat West Ranch 43-37 at Valencia High on Friday night.
"We knew we just had to play our game and not like we did last time against them," said Valencia point guard Lindsey Hill. "This time we were smarter with our passes and we had Starla (Wright)."
That combination proved to be just enough to power the Vikings (19-5, 6-2) as they turned the ball over only 11 times in the game, and Wright chipped in with 12 points. Hill had a game high-14 points.
After West Ranch (12-11, 5-3) started the game by jumping out to a 6-2 lead, Valencia bounced back with a 9-0 run to take a lead it wouldn't relinquish.
One of the keys for Valencia was keeping the Wildcats' leading scorer Erin Ruiz to only four points and one field goal.
"We went to a funky defense with a chaser to stop Ruiz," said Valencia head coach Jerry Mike. "We didn't want her to hurt us and we didn't want to lose because of her. The chaser worked pretty well."
With Ruiz held down it was up to the rest of the Wildcats to pick up the slack.
Wilson finished with a team-high and season-high 12 points.
"We didn't mind Ruiz down. Tori (Wilson) stepped up and our post players played real well," said West Ranch head coach Randy Smith.
With their post players scoring, both teams battled evenly until the fourth as the Vikings took a 33-30 lead into the final frame.
Then, it was Hill and Wright who led the charge for the Vikings as they held back each spurt from West Ranch.
The Wildcats cut the lead to 39-37 with 1:13 left to go, but Wright then knocked down two free throws with 21 seconds left to seal the game. Two more from Wright provided the final margin of 43-37.
With the win, Valencia remained one game back of Saugus in the Foothill League standings.
"That was a nice win," Mike said. "We wanted to keep pace with Saugus should they fall. We feel like we should be up there with them."
For West Ranch, it is still looking to make the playoffs after its fast league start.
"We just want to win two more games and head into the playoffs," Smith said. "So we'd better be ready to play come next Tuesday against a good Hart team."

Voice of profession ignored – PPTA
The government is clearly determined to pay only lip service to the hundreds of secondary teachers who gave the Education Amendment Bill (No 2) a resounding "no" through written and oral submissions.
In the Education and Science Select Committee report back to parliament, there are only minimal changes to the bill, which threatens to undermine the teaching profession and places students at risk.
While the committee's recommendations were passed "by majority" they were not unanimous, with reports from a number of members reflecting this, PPTA president Angela Roberts said
"The committee was clearly strongly divided," she said.
The bill dismantles the New Zealand Teachers Council and replaces it with a new body – the Educational Council of Aotearoa New Zealand (EDUCANZ).
One of the biggest risks of the new body was the danger in which it placed students by threatening the council's core functions, Roberts said.
EDUCANZ has a range of overly ambitious functions that stray into territory outside the domain of a registration body, she said.
"The real risk is the loss of the council's basic functions as it becomes subject to a political agenda," she said.
"Teachers, parents, students and the wider community want a registration body that focuses on ensuring only those teachers who are competent and safe among young people are able to enter or remain in the teaching profession. Loading the council with all these other functions threatens that."
A major concern among teachers who submitted on the bill was the fact there would be no elected teacher voice on the council as all members would be appointed by the minister of education, Roberts said.
"The government has attempted to throw teachers a bone by changing the teacher membership of the council from 'a maximum of five registered teachers' to 'at least five registered and currently practising teachers' – but those teachers will still be appointed by the minister. There is no guarantee they will be people the profession would choose to represent them."
The name EDUCANZ also reflected distain for the profession.
"This name would make it unique among teacher registration bodies across the world in not mentioning 'teachers' or 'teaching' in its title," Roberts said.
The amended bill did not meet teachers' bottom lines for a council that will represent them, she said.
"There are no elections, no union nominees and practising teachers will be a bare majority appointed by the minister."
Roberts encouraged teachers to strengthen their existing body by voting in the upcoming New Zealand Teachers Council elections.
"The committee has ignored us so we need to fight for our voice by using the existing channel," she said.

Topic: FINALLY!
Just wanted to let my CC family know that I'm FINALLY getting an MRI for my left knee. It has been very swollen for about 8 months now. Started in August of last year. I went to urgent care as the knee and the entire leg was very swollen. I was checked for Baker's Cust, Arthritis, Gout, Psuedo Gout, Bloot clot...all negative. Then doc's did not seem to care. I went back to my PCP and he sent me to a 'quack' orthopod. All that doc did was give me a shot in the knee and suggested PT.
I told him I had a terminally ill husband at home and could not take time for PT and besides I walk 4 miles a day and what good was PT when he did not know what was wrong with the knee? I suggested an MRI but he just poo-pooed that idea. Without an MRI how could he know WHAT was wrong and how could he know that PT would help. Answer = fired that doc!
Scheduled another appointment with another Doc who is reputed to be very good w/knees. Wasn't in his office 5 min. - he touched the knee in one place and said 'hummm, I think it's a torn meniscus' (which is what I've been saying all along) and then 'and you have NOT had an MRI?' That was last week, and I go in at 1pm for my MRI. If it is a torn meniscus, I will need surgery to repair it. He also could not believe that the other docs never even attempted to drain the fluid from my knee. He says I have over a 1/2 soda can of fluid on the knee.
Just goes to show - If you don't like the opinoin of a doctor GO GET A SECOND OPINOIN! Not just with CC but with anything!!
Love and hugs,

Bond Street Theatre Partners with Epic Actor's Workshop to Present 'Bhopal' in the US, India, and Nepal
New York City's Bond Street Theatre collaborates with the Indian-American Epic Actors' Workshop to present Rahul Varma's trenchant play, Bhopal. The production, which addresses environmental disaster and corporate responsibility, will be featured at four festivals in three countries: the US on November 18, India and Nepal from December 1-8, 2012.
The play depicts the true story of the Union Carbide pesticide plant explosion in Bhopal, India, which left 20,000 dead and hundreds of others blind and sick. The 1984 event still has repercussions across the region today due to the company's failure to clean up the polluted lake and water supply.
Combining Bond Street Theatre's visual-physical theatrical approach with the colorful and stylized work of Epic Actors' Workshop, the play is both dramatic and surreal. The production, directed by Joanna Sherman, premieres at the South Asian Theatre Festival at the Crossroads Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ, on November 18, 2012 at 4 pm. Tickets can be purchased here.

The injury bug has arrived at New York Yankees camp early this year, as outfielder Curtis Granderson suffered a fractured right forearm after being hit by a pitch in his first at-bat of spring training on Sunday.
The injury is expected to keep Granderson out 10 weeks, meaning the 31 year-old All-Star could make his regular season debut roughly around the first week of May.
This is a critical injury to the Yankees, as Granderson's offensive production will be tough to replace in New York's lineup. In addition to the loss of Granderson's bat, this hurts the Yankees experiment of moving Brett Gardner to center field and Granderson to left field. Granderson hasn't played left field since 2007, when he played just two games there, so he could have used spring training to adjust to the position switch.
With Granderson out, veterans Juan Rivera and Matt Diaz will have an open battle in camp to compete for more playing time. Joining the two experienced Major Leaguers will be Zoilo Almonte, a young prospect who impressed during spring training last season and is looking to make an impact.
Last season the speedy slugger hit .232 with 43 home runs and 106 RBI in 160 games. He has a total of 108 home runs in three seasons in the Bronx.

Hollywood Glamour: The Cream Suit
April 17th, 2014
It's no secret that I love suits. Nothing makes a man look sharper and more sophisticated. And from my experience, a well-tailored suit can open doors and bring opportunities, especially in LA (as I wrote about here).
Most guys already have a navy or grey business suit, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Once you start dabbling with different fabrics, fits, constructions, etc. it really opens your eyes (and the eyes of others) to the value of stand-out tailoring. It's also never been easier to build a tailored wardrobe that extends beyond the every-guy basics, thanks to affordable off-the-rack options from brands like Suit Supply and J.Crew, as well as a number of reliable Made-to-Measure clothiers.
I write a lot about the merits of investing in high-quality, perfectly fitting, staple business suits. The bespoke suit that gets you the job and stands up to conference room gunfire. What I don't write about enough, I think, is the other side of the spectrum; investing in affordable options to keep your wardrobe fresh, unexpected, and most importantly, fun. After you have the workhorse staples (navy, grey, pinstripe, etc) I would consider investing in suits that are a little more style-forward and casual-friendly for all those times that you're not punching the clock. After all, suits don't have to be synonymous with business.
Here's a great example. An off-white cream suit is a rarity, but such a beauty. Especially in a cotton/silk blend. This color of suit is synonymous with Spring, as well as sophisticated men of class and wealth. Think Jay Gatsby or Michael Cane in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (every man of class and wealth has his secrets).
Here's some ideas on how to make the off-white suit a stand-out piece in your Spring wardrobe.
1. Spring Wedding
Want to be the best-dressed man at that big outdoor wedding coming up? This is an easy win.
Just make sure the groom is not wearing a white/cream suit as well, because you don't want to show him up on his big day. Or maybe you do, that's on you.
I had to go full Gatsby and bring out the big guns on this one; 18 karat gold shades, gold collar pin, vintage Rolex, custom crocodile shoes.
The double-breasted cream suit just calls for luxury finishes.
Thanks to my friend, and former agent, Andrew Weitz for the custom made pocket square.

2. Go-To Summer Trousers
A lightweight pair of ivory trousers may be the most underrated piece of menswear for Spring.
You can wear them with literally anything and they instantly add class to your look – even if it's just a tucked-in t-shirt (more on that later).
Another underrated menswear piece is the navy shirt. This one is vintage, faded and a little beat-up – which is exactly why I paired it with these clean tailored pieces.
The navy windowpane on this linen jacket and the navy tassels on the suede loafers bring this look together in a subtle way that's not too matchy-matchy,

3. Creams & Camels
A monochromatic outfit in rich shades of creams & camels is perfect for a fancy Spring afternoon.
Call it "French Riviera Chic" because it gives off a vibe that life should be easy and breezy.
I've been mentioning silk suiting for a while now, but this is the first ready-to-wear version we've featured with visual pilling, which adds a really unique texture.
Plenty more on menswear silks as we inch closer to summertime.
I got this one the other day and thought it was an interesting question: "It seems like you're often dressed-up, even over-dressed, especially for LA. Do you always have occasions to dress in tailored suits?"
I don't think you need an occasion to wear a tailored jacket or trousers. I wear them in casual situations all the time, because I feel good in them, and people tend to respond positively to tailoring by choice. Of course, it also helps my business, and my brand. I'm quietly trying to bring back Hollywood glamour, and make lightweight casual suits in cool again in LA…more on that later. Once I'm gone, if I'm remembered as that guy who was often over-dressed, at least I'll be remembered for something positive.

Sony hopes to release Firefox OS phone in 2014
0. phoneArena posted on 26 Feb 2013, 04:16
Sony Mobile says that through a partnership with carrier Telefonica, it hopes that will be able to release a handset powered by the open source Firefox OS some time next year; some manufacturers have already produced models running on the OS such as ZTE, Alcatel and Geeksphone while LG and Huawei have expressed an interest in the OS...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Sony do a FireFoxOS, but NOT WP...
It's really a bitch slap to Microsoft and Baldy Balmer.
7. jsdechavez (Posts: 758; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Sony should make WP instead. Much like they did with the iconic X1 and X2, the original Xperia.
17. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
maybe they are not doing it coz microsoft is trying to promote xbox through wp and sony is doing the same thing with the playstation certification.
19. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Yes youre right cause sony dont see any1 buyn any windows phone latley not too mention their greedy law suits against android. Sony is a company whos open up too other os that will drive sales.
23. ZeroCide (Posts: 785; Member since: 09 Jan 2013)
This is till 2014. There could be a few windows phones in the works between now and then.
2. tusshharish (Posts: 342; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
sony put firefox os in tipo dual and sell it ....lol...
3. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
i think Sony must go for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu has more potential to threat Android.
4. wendygarett (unregistered)
Keywords: thread android, thats why sony refuses to flamebait his partner :)
9. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
but they must choose an OS which has more capabilities in order to attract the customer, and i think Ubuntu has more potential to do so.
5. nikenturd (unregistered)
It will be overpriced as usual
6. jsdechavez (Posts: 758; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
and won't sell well..
8. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
and you'll remain butthurt as usual
10. nikenturd (unregistered)
SONY is so yesterday....get over it fanboy...their last great product ( innovative) was the Playstation 1....has been irrelevant since....other than walkmans and discmans, they never really made something worthwhile
11. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
so would you please introduce the most innovative brand of the world?
there is no doubt that Sony is among the pioneers of digital world and will remain as before.
butthurt fanboys like you can't accept it.
12. nikenturd (unregistered)
They pioneered things that was great in the 80'90's....but since we are talking about NOW, I guess you argument is completely pointless since Sony is just playing catch up for awhile now.....no matter what they do, people will just shy away due to their incompetitive pricing
13. tahnik (Posts: 189; Member since: 17 Jul 2011)
Well,Sony was at a stack when tsunami hit them and they lost 6 factories in Japan....
That was the only chance of Samsung and they used the chance very well...
14. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
so you didn't name the pioneer at the present time.
21. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
and youre blind as usual. SONY have made some low budget phones in case u don't even see it
15. FireDragon (Posts: 117; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
Sony really really need to have an OS complete in their own control so they will be able to put their own magic in it like UIQ.
Personally I wanted to them take on with webOS or better MeeGo, but let see how much FireFox OS will allow them to go. I am little excited about it even though an year of wait is a long long wait.
16. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Oh but didn't Sony mention that they would only be looking at High End phone customers?
18. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Oh snap now this i gotta see!
20. Jyakotu (Posts: 854; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
I love Sony as a company, in fact they're my favorite electronics company. However, I think it's ironic how they're looking into making a Firefox OS phone, but won't even consider making a Windows Phone. IMO, Windows Phone has more potential to take off. I see Firefox OS as a very niche OS, much like webOS was (admit it, it was a niche OS and very few people owned a Palm Pre/Pixi). But to each their own. Maybe they'll be the first to make a high end Firefox OS phone.

Website : http://www.rimc.org
The Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC), Dehradun traces its origin to the Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College, inaugurated on 13th March 1922 by his Royal Highness, Prince Edward VIII the Prince of Wales. It was then located on the premises of the erstwhile Imperial Cadet Corps ( also called Rajwada Camp), set amidst 138 acres of lush green countryside adjacent to Garhi Village in Dehradun Cantonment. During his address to the first thirty-seven cadets he said, "It is the first few blows on the anvil of the life that give the human weapon the set and temper that carry him through life's battles". The Prince also made reference to the old Indian tradition of "Guru and Chela". This relationship of mutual love and reverence has formed the basis of RIMC ethos.
RIMC has a long history and rich traditions. Over the year the alumni has produced many leaders of society, both military as well as civil. Four chiefs of Army staff and one chief of the Air staff in India; one Commander-in-chief of the Army and two chief of the Air staff in Pakistan; scores of officers of General/Flag/Air rank, Commanding corps, fleets, wings and divisions and other distinguished appointments both sides of the border. Besides, many high civilian dignitaries like Governors, Ambassadors, Ministers and Captains of industry have passed through the RIMC's hallowed portals. Portraits of such luminaries adorn our walls at strategic places as inspiring beacons for young students of the day.
Nested in the foothills of the Shivalik ranges in the sylvan surroundings of the Doon Valley, the RIMC has a sprawling campus of 138 acres; an ideal setting green and serene for developing young minds. It houses a mint township, a mini India with 250 boys selected from every state strictly on merit by a written examination, interview and a medical test.
The College is administered by the Union Ministry of Defense, through the Directorate General of Military Training, Army. RIMC (Limca Book of Records confirm) is perhaps the only institution in the country where exams for Class X and XII are conducted twice a year, in May and November. These exams/certifications are recognized by CBSE. The College offers the science stream only at the +2 level. However, to prepare cadets for the UPSC examination for entry into NDA, social sciences are also taught. The curriculum requirements are exacting yet exciting in their variety. Every activity is objective based and precisely timed to mould future leaders.
Periodic tests are held regularly to ensure that the cadets grasp and assimilate the course of study covered in each month. After the term end examination, each cadets academic record is comprehensively analyzed and his position in class decided; both curricular and extracurricular achievements of a term are recorded in his dossier. Due weightage is also given to the sessional work done by a cadet both in terms of class work and homework for his promotion to the next class. Cadets are familiarized with the modern objective type of questioning to prepare them to competently face the UPSC Examination for entry to the NDA. RIMC has shown excellent results in sending 81% cadets to NDA from each course (as compared to the national average which stands at 0.6 %).
