Rapist stepdad traded Mum in for a younger model… me
I thought I could trust my stepdad Ray, so what did he mean when he said he was trading Mum in for a younger model?
By Aimee Downing, 20, from Willenhall, West Midlands
I'd just packed my last teddy in my little suitcase when I turned to take a final look at our dingy council flat.
'Come on, love,' Mum smiled as she held out her hand. 'It's time to go to our new house.'
I couldn't wait to move into our new place with Mum and her boyfriend, Ray. They had been together for about a year before Mum decided to bring Ray into our lives full-time.
I couldn't explain it, but Ray gave me the creeps. There was just something about the way he looked.
But Mum liked him and he was like a knight in shining armour, whisking us away from our cramped, run-down flat and into a proper house.
'You'll like it here,' Ray said, as he lugged our boxes inside and started unpacking. I nodded as I returned his awkward smile and ran to my new bedroom.
We enjoyed days out and trips to the cinema as a family but it was only a few months before the cracks began to show.
'Do that thing again,' Ray said one day, a serious tone in his voice. 'You know, when you wiggle around on the floor.'
I looked up at him as I got down on the carpet and lay on my back. I'd done it since I was a little toddler, writhing around and wiggling.
I was just innocently playing, being a kid – but Ray was looking at me intently as my body arched and jerked on the floor.
'If you do that again, I'll take you horseriding at the weekend,' Ray said a few days later. This time I noticed his breathing become heavy as he watched me, rubbing his hand over his trousers.
The next time he offered me a McDonalds, and the time after that he bought me a Chinese from the takeaway.
At just 11, I was too young to understand what was happening but I just shrugged as I got down on the living room floor, and gladly accepted the treat afterwards.
In time, we moved into another lovely new home, but Ray's behaviour only grew more sinister. 'I'll pick up Aimee from school today,' Ray told Mum one day.
'That would be a real help, thanks love,' Mum said as she went out to work.
That night, at home alone with Ray, I asked him to tickle my back. I loved having my back tickled. 'Sure,' Ray smiled. 'Come over here.'
But after tickling my back, Ray's hand snaked lower towards my bottom.
I thought it was strange when Ray starting asking me if he could tickle my back after that. And when his hands made their way down to my bottom or my vagina, I froze.
I loved having my back tickled but I didn't love this. I didn't really know what was happening but when Ray made me touch him too, I knew it was wrong.
'No,' I said. 'I don't want to.' I watched Ray's face cloud over with anger. 'Don't be silly, I'm your stepdad. You're supposed to make me happy,' he spat.
He threw whatever he could find on the floor in a fit of fury. He never hit me with the objects, but he hated not getting his own way.
Then one day, after I'd turned 12, I was getting ready to go out and play with my friends. I ran down the stairs, grabbed my coat and was just about to head out of the door, when Ray appeared.
'Let's go upstairs for a tickle,' he said. 'I want to try something new.' Something about the way Ray looked at me, told me I didn't want to play his new game.
'No, I can't,' I told him. 'I'm going to my friend's house.'
But before I could turn towards the door, Ray had launched at me, grabbing me by the throat. 'Please, stop!' I cried, 'you're hurting me.'
But it was no use. Ray grabbed a fistful of my long hair and dragged me all the way up the stairs. It felt like my scalp was on fire. I was in agony.
He shoved me down onto my bed and as he tore my clothes off, I tried to focus on the posters of horses and Hello Kitty on my bedroom wall.
Ray grunted as he forcefully pushed his fingers inside me. I reached out for a blanket, clutching it to me as I winced in pain.
Then, as Ray climbed on top of me and brutally raped me, I covered my face with the blanket. I didn't want to look at him as the pain tore through me.
'This is our little secret,' he smirked afterwards. 'Be a good girl, Aimee.' I went to the bathroom and sobbed. I'd never felt more scared, or more alone.
It was just two weeks before Ray pounced again. He'd sent Mum out on an errand and knew that he had me alone.
'Shall we have a tickle?' he said. My heart hammered in my chest. I didn't want to, Ray's tickles hurt.
'No,' I said, as I fled upstairs and locked myself in the bathroom. Ray thundered after me, banging on the bathroom door so hard I thought it would cave in.
'Get out here, you stupid little girl!' he raged. 'No one loves you, you're worthless.'
I cowered in the corner until I heard the front door click open. Mum was home. I listened as Ray ran downstairs and tore into her. He'd found his next target.
I heard them crashing and banging around as Ray yelled at her, and in that moment I realised if I didn't do as Ray wanted, he'd hurt my mum.
Ray's abuse was unbearable – but I had to protect her. She was my mum.
After that, I quickly learned to read Ray's moods. More often than not, he'd lead me upstairs for a 'tickle' whenever Mum was out. Every time, I'd pull the blanket over my face in a bid to black it out.
'You know, you've got a nicer body than your mum,' he told me. 'She's too fat for me now. I'm trading her in for a younger model,'
As he turned to look at me, a sick glint in his eye, the true horror of what Ray meant dawned: the younger model was… me.
'If you don't make me happy,' he spat, 'I'll strangle the dog and beat your mum.' I had no choice but to comply.
By the time I was 14, Ray was raping me almost daily. I didn't dare tell anyone, but I was desperate for it to stop.
I had a little notebook, which I called my diary, and in the middle page I wrote, my stepdad is abusing me. Help.
I took the book to school and even left it on my desk – desperate for a teacher or a friend to pick it up and read it.
Only, the person who found it was… Ray. I'd left it at home one day and Ray had found it in my room.
'Have you got anything to tell me?' he asked, before slamming the book hard into my face. My eye wasn't right for weeks afterwards. I was tortured, trapped – and alone.
After Ray had forced himself on me, Mum would come home with a takeaway and as she laid the food out on the table, Ray was in a great mood.
As I watched them tuck into the pizza or Chinese, I felt sick to my stomach. They were enjoying a cosy family meal, only no one knew the terrible secret that was holding the family together.
For two more years, I endured Ray's sick abuse. As I grew older and more able to resist, he even tied my hands behind my back as he raped me. He even begged me to kiss him. Sick.
Then one weekend, when I was nearing my 16th birthday, I stayed the night at my real dad's house.
I relished the opportunity to get away from Ray but he wouldn't let me forget him. He bombarded me with text messages.
I'm coming to pick you up, he typed. And when I didn't respond, he just resorted to abuse. You stupid girl, he wrote. And, you know what I'm going to do to you when you come home.
It was relentless and Dad must have picked up on the barrage of messages and my anxious mood.
'Is everything alright, love?' he asked, gently. I couldn't keep it in any longer. In that moment, I broke down.
'He's abusing me,' I blurted as I dissolved into tears. 'Ray, he's sexually abusing me.' Dad's face crumpled in pain but he rushed over to me and wrapped me in a reassuring hug.
'It's ok, you're safe now,' he soothed. Dad and his wife called the police who came round to take a statement.
Officers apprehended Ray, who had seen the police car at the end of our street and fled through the back garden and over the fence. He didn't get far before he was arrested.
I was taken to a safehouse and officers ran invasive tests. discovering Ray's DNA inside me. In December 2010 his trial went to court.
When he was handed an indeterminate sentence with a minimum of 52 months for rape and sexual activity with a female child family member, the relief was enormous.
Finally, I had justice. That monster wanted to trade Mum in for a younger model but I was just a child. Now, we're both moving on – without him.
Aimee's mum, Nikki, 43, says: "At the time I couldn't see it, but looking back, Aimee was his girlfriend, not me. Ray told me I was too fat and ugly to have sex with. Ray was obsessed with timing. He would always call me at work to find out precisely what time I'd be home. Now, I realise it was so he could make sure I'd never walk in on him and my daughter. When Aimee told me about the abuse she suffered my world collapsed from under me. I had a nervous breakdown and ended up in hospital. It was my job to protect her and I failed her. She doesn't blame me, but I'll never forgive myself."
Aimee knew that selling her story to the national press would help her raise awareness of sexual abuse and support other victims. We sold her story to Take a Break magazine, reaching a wide readership of women.

we have 5 guys who 'could be a 50 goal scorer' and not one 6'7" horse on the blueline.
when are 'you people' going to figure out that you can't win with 12 quarterbacks and no O-line. we have TOOOOOO MUCH of one kind of player and not enough of every other kind of player needed to win.
and come the draft we will be adding another 'could score 50 goals' 18 year old. like it not, this team will not win before management makes some very big decisions on personnel. Probably, one of Eberle or Yak will be not be part of the team when it is time to win. that decision will hit this management team in the face in about 2 years, when all these flashy kids still can't win.

The National Park Service has acknowledged that that more than 250 tule elk died inside the fenced Pierce Point Elk Preserve at California's Point Reyes National Seashore from 2012 to 2014, likely due to lack of access to year-round water. While nearly half the elk inside the fenced area died, free-roaming Point Reyes elk herds with access to water increased by nearly a third during the same period.

Несколько текстов для зачёта (Cordless Telephones)Посмотреть архив целиком
Cordless Telephones
Cordless telephones are one of those minor miracles of modern life - with a cordless phone, you can talk on the phone while moving freely about your house or in your yard. Long before cell phones became so cheap that anyone could afford one, cordless phones gave everyone the freedom to walk and talk within the privacy of their own homes. A cordless telephone is basically a combination telephone and radio transmitter/receiver. A cordless phone has two major parts: base and handset.
The base unit of the cordless phone is plugged into the telephone jack on your wall. If you open up the base and expose the circuit board, you see several components that carry out the functions of the base:
phone line interface - receives and sends telephone signals through the phone line
amplifies signals to and from phone-line interface, user controls and speaker phone (if present)
broadcasts and receives radio signals to and from the handset
power - supplies low voltage power to the circuits and recharges the battery of the handset
Phone Line Interface
Phone line interface components do two things. First, they send the ringer signal to the bell (if it's on the base) or to the radio components for broadcast to the handset. This lets you know that you have an incoming call. Second, they receive and send small changes in the phone line's electrical current to and from the radio components of the base. When you talk, you cause small changes in the electrical current of the phone line, and these changes get sent to your caller. The same happens when the caller talks to you.
Radio Components
The radio components receive the electrical signals from the phone line interface and user controls (keypads, buttons). The radio components convert the signals to radio waves and broadcast them via the antenna. Radio components use quartz crystals to set the radio frequencies for sending and receiving. There are two quartz crystals, one for sending signals and one for receiving signals. Remember that the base and handset operate on a frequency pair that allows you to talk and listen at the same time (duplex). The radio components include an audio amplifier that increases the strength of the incoming electrical signals.
Power Components
A DC power cube transformer supplies the low voltage required by the electrical components on the circuit board. The power components on the circuit board work with the power cube to supply electrical current to re-charge the battery of the handset.
In addition to the above components, some bases also have audio amplifiers to drive speakers for speaker phone features, keypads for dialing, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) for caller ID, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for power/charging indicators, and solid state memory for answering machine or call-back features.
You can carry the handset with you throughout the house or outside within the range of the base transmitter. The handset has all of the equipment of a standard telephone (speaker, microphone, dialing keypad), plus the equipment of an FM radio transmitter/receiver. When you open up the handset, you can see these components.
The speaker receives the electrical signals from the audio amplifier in the radio components and converts them into sound. When you remove the cover from the speaker, you see a large round permanent magnet with a hole in the middle and a deep groove surrounding the hole. Within this deep groove is a coil of fine copper wire that is attached to a thin plastic membrane. The plastic membrane covers the magnet and coil.
The microphone changes the sound waves from your voice into electrical signals that are sent to the audio amplifier of the radio components. A microphone is essentially a speaker that works in reverse. When sound waves from your voice move the membrane, they make tiny electric currents either by moving a coil of wire within a magnet or by compressing the membrane against carbon dust.
The keypad allows you to dial a number. It transfers the pressure from your fingertip on the appropriate key into an electrical signal that it sends to the radio components. Below the rubber keypad is a circuit board with black conductive material under each button. The keypad works like a remote control. When you press a button, it makes a contact with the black material and changes its electrical conductance. The conductance sends an electrical signal to the radio components indicating that you have selected that number.
Buzzer or Ringer
When the radio components of the handset receive the ringer signal from the base, they send electrical signals to the buzzer. The buzzer changes those electrical signals into sound much like the speaker does. You hear the buzzer sound and know that someone is calling you. In some phones, the speaker is used to make the ringer sound and there is no need for a separate ringer.
Radio Components
The radio components of the handset are like those of the base - they convert electrical signals from the microphone into FM radio signals and broadcast them at the same frequency as the receiving crystal of the base unit. The radio components also receive radio signals at the same frequency as the broadcasting crystal from the base, convert them to electrical signals and send them to the speaker and/or buzzer (ringer).
The handset's battery supplies the power for all of the electrical components in the handset. All cordless phone handsets have a rechargeable battery (nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride or lithium). When the battery runs low, an indicator light on the handset usually lights up or flashes. In some phones, a "beeping" sound may also indicate a low battery. You then recharge the battery on the base of the cordless phone.
The GE cordless phone that we dissected was from 1993. Modern cordless phones have the same functions and much of the same hardware. However, many of the electronic circuits that were once achieved with transistors, resistors and capacitors have been replaced with integrated circuits. This advancement allows the handset to be either smaller with the same functions or the same size with more functions.
In summary, a cordless phone is basically a combination of a telephone and an FM radio transmitter/receiver. Because it is a radio transmitter, it broadcasts signals over the open airways rather than specifically between the base and handset.

China today said its decision to invite the head of the Indian Army's Northern Command was part of a consensus between the two countries to enhance military ties to maintain peace on the border pending a final settlement of the boundary dispute.
Maintaining that there is no change in China's stand on the border issue, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said both sides will aim to improve ties during Lt Gen D S Hooda's visit.
Gen Hooda would be the first northern area commander to visit to China since Beijing denied a regular visa to his predecessor Lt Gen B S Jaswal in 2010 on the grounds that his command area included the "disputed" Jammu and Kashmir.
Asked a media briefing here what prompted the change in China's stand, Hua said "Our position is consistent and subjected to no change. But our consensus is there," she said.
Lt Gen Hooda's visit is scheduled from December 14-19 during which he will visit various military and civil establishments in China, including the PLA Headquarters at Beijing and the Lanzhou military region and exchange views on measures to further peace and tranquillity along the LAC, officials said.
Elaborating on China's stand, Hua said "We need to have more exchanges and mutual visits between the two militaries so as to jointly uphold peace and tranquility of border areas".
She said "China and India share very important consensus that is pending final settlement of the border question, both sides should remain committed to maintain peace and tranquility of the border areas".
"That is why during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit this year both sides agreed to conduct more exchanges and have annual exchanges and interactions between the two militaries," Hua said.
"The visit (of Gen Hooda) is a step to implement the consensus. It will enhance military-to-military exchanges and mutual trust and help us to properly manage the border area and better deal with emergencies and maintain peace and tranquility of the border areas," she said.
In 2010, China had also resorted to issuing "stapled visas" to residents of Jammu and Kashmir on the same grounds of it being "disputed" which drew strong protests from India.
In retaliation, New Delhi also cancelled all military-to- military exchanges.
After hectic diplomatic parlays, China subsequently rolled back its decision to issue paper visas to J&K residents.
After that a multi command military delegation headed by
Maj Gen Gurmeet Singh of the then Northern Command of the Indian Army visited China in 2011 formally resuming military ties between the two countries.
"We should all make greater efforts to implement the consensus. We would like to show our sincerity and make efforts to enhance our exchanges with Indian military. This feeling is mutual," Hua said.
Both sides consider Gen Hooda's visit important as the Ladakh sector which falls in his command saw maximum number of "incursions" by Chinese troops resulting in tensions.
The major incursions included the one at Daulat Beg Oldi in Ladakh ahead of Premier Li Keqiang's 2013 visit to India.
A similar incident took place at Chumar in Ladakh region during the visit of President Xi Jinping a year later. Both were resolved after several days of talks.
However both sides established Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) to address such issues.
Besides making efforts to improve relations between the local commanders, the two sides also opened more border points including in Ladakh for both militaries to meet and interact.
The India-China border spans about 3,488 kms of which 646 kms falls within Jammu and Kashmir.

Is There a Date Widget That Can Disallow FUTURE Dates?Asked by technologypainkillers on June 06, 2013 at 10:49 PM
I see two date picker widgets, one that emphasizes birthdays, and one that's a general date picker.
The general date picker has a configuration setting that permits me to disallow PAST dates, but there is no provision for disallowing FUTURE dates.
Ironically, the birthday picker does not prevent future dates. I know some C-Sections are planned, but one would expect 99.9% of the uses of this widget to be for specifying a birth date in the past. ;)
One of my form questions is asking explicitly for a date in the past, but I cannot configure either of these widgets to prevent a future date.
Please, advise.
Thank you! :)
Mike Strong
You can apply conditional logics "AFTER" or "BEFORE" to the date pickers
For example, I have made this test form so when someone chooses a date after 2012-12-31 , a warning message will show up (I used a Free Text HTML field for the message)
I hope this sorts out your requirement
Wonderful! Thank you! I'll investigate tomorrow morning!!
Mike Strong, President
Technology Pain Killers, LLC
@ technologypainkillers
We also have implemented a new feature on regards to your request
Conditionals logic: Use comparative dates
You can now prevent your users to submit the form if the dates are not between the date range so you can hide the submit button if the dates do not match the time range .
WOW! Thank you! I'm speechless. :)

When your Cadillac Commercial Chassis was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values American engineering in their automobile.
If you can't slow down your vehicle, then you are bound to get into an accident. Brand new Cadillac Commercial Chassis disc brake calipers ensure a safe driving experience.

text: PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Five Below, Inc. (Nasdaq:FIVE) today updated previously communicated fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 net sales and earnings guidance based on quarter-to-date results for the period from November 3, 2013 through January 4, 2014. The Company announced that net sales for this nine week period increased by 25.4% to $185.3 million while comparable store sales for this period decreased by 0.5%. Based on this quarter-to-date performance, the Company now expects net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 to be in the range of $208 million to $210 million, comparable store sales to be in the range of -1.5% to -0.5% and GAAP net income to be in the range of $23.3 million to $24.3 million, with a GAAP diluted income per common share range of $0.43 to $0.45 on approximately 54.0 million estimated weighted average shares outstanding. Excluding $0.9 million, or $0.02 per adjusted diluted share in tax-effected expenses related to the founders' transaction (1), adjusted net income is expected to be approximately $24.2 million to $25.2 million, or $0.44 to $0.46 per diluted share based on estimated adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 54.6 million. Thomas Vellios, Co-Founder and CEO, stated: "We did not meet our sales expectations for the holiday season as adverse weather negatively impacted traffic to our stores, which are heavily concentrated in the Northeast and Midwest regions. This was exacerbated by the shortened holiday season during which we simply did not make up the weather-driven sales shortfall, especially in those key shopping days just prior to Christmas. In addition, we see room for improvement within certain merchandise categories that underperformed against our expectations. While clearly disappointed with our holiday comparable store sales performance, we continue to be pleased with the performance of our new stores, in particular the performance of the new Texas market."

pbxnsip Cisco 7960
Tips on using the Cisco 7960 phone with the pbxnsip PBX
Cisco's 7960/7961 and 7940/7941 are probably the most popular VoIP phones today. The PBX supports the SIP version of this phone and most of the features are accessible through this endpoint.
We used a Cisco 7960, Firmware Version POS3-07-5-00 (Boot Load ID PC030300, DSP Load ID PS03AT46) for the tests. Previous versions have problems with the authentication; therefore it is a good idea to move the phone to this version.
Recently Cisco released the 8.x series of the firmware, and it seems that Cisco is taking SIP quite serious now. If you can, use the latest 8.2 version, which seems to be really good.
Plug and Play
The PBX supports plug and play for the Cisco. There are two ways to make plug and play happen:
- Specify the tftp server address in DHCP. This is the typical way that Cisco phones expect these settings. If you are using DHCP servers in Linux, IOS or Windows, this should be no problem and is definitively the best option for you.
- Manually specify the tftp address in the interface of the phone. This is usually the last resort when you are using DSL routers with built-in DHCP servers, which typically do not provide a setting for the tftp server.
If the device is used with the plug-and-play, then the MWI is set up automatically. If the device is set up manually, you must set the "messages URI" was set to the account URI, so that pressing the messages button will go to the mailbox account. If you don't do this, the phone will not display the MWI events.
Other usage comments
Interestingly, the Cisco does not offer an option to reject a call. The phone support the Alert-Info header (which changes the ring melody), but it does not support the Call-Info header which is necessary to get the paging feature working.

Domestic Violence | 2002
Jump to
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department
In Tampa Bay, Florida, the film begins and ends, in private homes where the police have been called to intervene in domestic disputes. In between, in a structure which moves through day to night, the film details the work of The Spring, Tampa's principal shelter for women and children. Sequences include intake interviews, individual and group counseling sessions, anger management training, staff meetings and conversations among residents and between residents and staff. As the women talk, a picture is built up of the patterns of power and control which underpin the relationships from which they are fleeing, and of the obstacles to their ability to escape. What is also revealed is the complexity of the tangled web of damage which encircles these women, and often their children too.

Wash Post's Parker equates Palin's "death panels" falsehood with Slaughter's dentures story
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From Kathleen Parker's March 3 Washington Post column [emphasis added]:
What do people remember from the summit, to the extent they watched? They surely remember Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan hammering the Republican message about deficit spending in the health-care legislation. And, they remember New York Democrat Rep. Louise Slaughter telling about a woman who, because she had no insurance, had to wear her deceased sister's dentures.
There's nothing to laugh at here, obviously. If true -- and she dared us not to believe her -- it's a pathetic tale. Right-wing talk show hosts who have made sport of Slaughter's story don't get much credit for cleverness, but truly, sometimes an anecdote is too strange to be effective.
Maybe Republicans can trade Sarah Palin's "death panels" for Louise Slaughter's dentures and call it a draw.
As a political point, however, the contrast between personal anecdote vs. mastery of health-care economics is stark and telling. If you're in the market for competence, which vendor gets your attention?
Fox News personalities advance Palin's "death panel" claim
Politifact names "death panels" its "Lie of the Year"
Let them eat applesauce: Right-wing media mock the uninsured
Limbaugh calls Slaughter's tale of woman who wore dead sister's dentures the "sob story of the day"

Excellent work! This made me get an A grade! Cant thank u guys enough!
Today—in honor of the Grammys—we explore the literary legacies, word origins, and surprising factoids behind some of the expressions and terms in the lyrics that had many of us singing along in 2013.
Category: Record of the Year
Winner: "Get Lucky," by Daft Punk
This infectious chart-topper lured many onto the dance floor in 2013, but its literary opening lines might've inspired a few intrepid souls to take a trip to the library: "Like the legend of the phoenix; all ends with beginnings." So what does the legend of the phoenix have to do with ends and beginnings?
The phoenix finds its origins as a mythical bird in Egyptian and Classical mythology. It had brilliant red and gold plumage and a lifespan of no less than 500 years. At the end of its life, the phoenix would construct a nest and set it and itself on fire. From the ashes, a new phoenix would emerge. This fantastical lifecycle made the phoenix a symbol of immortality, resurrection, and resilience, and over time the word itself took on new meanings reflecting the qualities of that exalted bird, such as "a person or thing of peerless beauty or excellence," and "a person or thing that has become renewed or restored after suffering calamity or apparent annihilation."
Nominee: "Radioactive," by Imagine Dragons
This tale of personal transformation with apocalyptic themes takes its name from a word coined by the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, Marie Curie. Curie and her husband coined the French term radioactif in a paper for French Academy of Sciences in 1898. The word made the leap to English almost immediately, and a figurative sense of "emanating extreme energy characterized by unstable and hazardous behavior" emerged shortly thereafter.
Nominee: "Locked Out of Heaven," by Bruno Mars
In this upbeat tune about an amorous awakening, crooner Bruno Mars confesses that prior to meeting the object of his lyrical affections, he preferred to play it safe in love: "Never had much faith in love or miracles; never wanna put my heart on the line."
Believe it or not, the expression to lay it on the line meaning "to place something, such as your heart, at risk" has only been used in English for a short while. The earliest citation on record is from 1929 from short story by Damon Runyon.
Nominee: "Royals," by Lorde
Lorde sets the stage for her anti-bling anthem with the following lyrics: "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh; I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies." Although a literal interpretation might conjure a harrowing scene in which our songstress damages her pearly whites by chomping diamond-encrusted popcorn in the movie theater, most of us understand the line "I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies" to mean that she came to gain knowledge of diamonds by watching movies. But where does the expression cut one's teeth come from?
Originally, the expression to cut one's teeth referred to the growth of new teeth by youngsters or the teething of infants; the figurative extension of this expression, meaning "to do at the beginning of one's education, career, etc., or in one's youth," expands on the theme of graduating from babyhood to a new to a new level of maturity or experience. A lesser-known variation on this expression is to cut one's eyeteeth, referencing the upper canine teeth that are located just below eye.
Nominee: "Blurred Lines," by Robin Thicke
In the context of now-ubiquitous hit single, the expression blurred lines was widely understood to mean something akin to "mixed signals." Although this interpretation seems straightforward to us now, the expression might have fallen flat in a different era, specifically a pre-Elizabethan era. The word blur did not enter English until the mid-1500s. Prior to that, close approximations to blur available were blot, as in "a spot or stain, especially of ink on paper," and blear, as in "cloudiness, dimness." In fact, blur is thought perhaps to be an onomatopoeic blend of these two words. Had Thicke written this song in 1513 rather than 2013, his lines might have been blotted instead of blurred, resulting, perhaps, in a song about a botched folio or sloppy love letter as opposed to the rituals of courtship. Blot has also carried a figurative sense of "a disgrace" or "a blemish on one's reputation" since the 15th century, which, considering the controversies the song has engendered since its debut, would make for a fitting double entendre.
Excellent work! This made me get an A grade! Cant thank u guys enough!
Excellent work out there! Had to give a presentation on smiliar lines and I cant thank u the bloggers enough for this! Kudos!
I liked it a lot.
I want to send my complements to the Bloggers! I so enjoy the mental paths they take me on! Such great & funny writing! (Like the one the other day that included the discussion about the missuse of words; ie.
Irregardless! ) Thank you! Your efforts are duly noted! Fun stuff!
This is an example of:
Edutainment… Right!?!
This was an especially intriguing and interesting article.
Many times, you can't even understand the lyrics in a song much less deciphering the meaning of the words.
This report explained in detail what the artist was singing about to us!
Thank you for enlightening us regarding the great songs of 2013.

My brother LOVES "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons. And Imagine Dragons is one of my cousins' favorite bands. I think they're pretty good myself. Except for Bruno Mars, I haven't heard of any of those other artists (don't chew me out, I don't know much popular music except for Christian music–you'd think I would, being 13, but…).
However, I still think "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO is the best dance song ever. It is not humanly possible to hear that song and not start dancing. Believe me, I am a TERRIBLE dancer and avoid any type of dancing whenever possible, but that song still has me dancing.
As of my Minecraft exploits yesterday, my status has been upgraded from tree puncher to coal miner.

Prompt Corner: ACO VIRTUAL
ACO VIRTUAL transforms the way Melbournians experience classical music.
ACO VIRTUAL, a ground-breaking interactive, surround sound and vision installation presented in the Salon in February pushed new boundaries in digital music technology and education, all at the touch of a button.
The installation was presented at Melbourne Recital Centre in February in a Melbourne exclusive.
The brainchild of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Mod Productions and BSound, the installation, which was also a finalist at the SXSW Festival, featured projections of 13 orchestra members in a circular installation with the sound of each player coming from the direction of their projection.
These images were controlled via an iPad, allowing visitors to zoom in on particular musicians or sections of the orchestra, listen to the individual sounds of each instrument or turn them off and step in with their own instruments to play along. An iOS app provided more background information on the orchestra, repertoire and the technical aspects of the project.
Younger visitors were especially captivated by this new way to experience and control classical music. These guests included students from Stawell Primary School, Tate Street Primary School, East Geelong, and secondary students from a range of Bendigo government schools, many of whom had never had exposure to the music of Bach, Grieg, Smalley and Piazzolla, nor these instruments. Some had never been inside a professional music venue before.
"I really enjoyed it. I'm going to practice a lot so I get better on my violin."
(Bendigo Instrumental Music Program)
"It was great turning the players on and off using the iPad. You can't do that in real life."
(Bendigo Instrumental Music Program)
"I like the creativity throughout the whole building"
(Tate Street Primary School, East Geelong)
ACO Virtual marked a new kind of musical journey for the Centre in bringing new audiences to classical music via alternative settings, bridging the gap between classical music and the digital world.
ACO Virtual at Melbourne Recital Centre was made possible by the support of Naomi Milgrom AO, Benefactor of the Centre's New Music Leadership Circle.

Washington House Inn is centrally located on a lovely street of shops in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. The building itself is very cool....exposed beams, amazing old wood floors, brickwork, lots of history here. The staff was exceptionally kind, friendly and helpful, but never chatty or intrusive. Very easy check-in and check-out. Very nice hot egg casserole breakfast with a cold area of cereals, fruit, yogurt, nuts, etc. Big dining room with many tables for dining with your own party. Wine and snack hour had wines from local Cedar Creek Winery. Coffee/tea and delicious ice water with fresh fruit added were available all day. Our Living Social coupon included a wine tour (which we did not do because the weather was too beautiful to go inside) and 2 passes to the local movie house (historic building right next door to the inn). We had a nice dinner at the Anvil Pub down the street followed by the movie. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We were THRILLED that we could turn off our room's A/C and open the windows for fresh, spring air. Unfortunately, we were facing the back of the inn and there was quite a bit of noise from some kind of mechanical item cycling on and off all night. Still, to be able to open windows in an inn is rare. We loved this place and the friendly staff and would stay there again in a minute! Also, the Living Social coupon was a really good deal....thanks!

A couple of weeks later, Ballmer called me in and proposed that I transfer over to manage Windows. Sounds like a plum job right? Well, that wasn't so obvious at the time. Windows had been announced the previous year with much fanfare and support from most of the existing PC vendors. However, by the time of my discussion with Steve, Windows still had not shipped within the promised timeframe and was starting to earn the reputation of being "vaporware." In fact Ballmer had just returned from what we internally referred to as the "mea culpa" tour to personally apologize to analysts and press for the product not having shipped on time and to reinforce Microsoft's definite plans to complete it soon.
Further, Microsoft's strategy to get IBM to license Windows had failed. IBM had rejected Windows in favor of its own character-based DOS application windowing product called TopView. With IBM still the dominant PC seller, Microsoft would have to market Windows directly to IBM PC users. It would be the first time the company sold an OS level product directly to end-users (unless you count the Apple SoftCard, a hardware card that enabled Apple II users to run CPM-80 applications on their Apple IIs, which I had also previously managed). Since I had been the product manager that had the most experience with marketing technically oriented products through retail channels (rather licensed to PC vendors), Ballmer thought the job might be a good fit. In addition, he pointed out that since Windows was intended to expand the appeal of PC through its easier-to-use graphical user interface, it should appeal to my more end-user product experience and interests.
At that point Windows was no longer considered the company's star project, as it had become a bit of an embarrassment. Even internally there were doubts among some in the company that Windows would ever ship. Also, because Ballmer had already burned though four product managers to try to get there–people who now had been either reassigned or were no longer at Microsoft–the product was developing a reputation for career death. Apparently prior to offering the job to me, Ballmer had tried to persuade Rob Glaser, already recognized as a bright, up-and coming talent, to take the position. But Glaser turned him down. When Glaser heard that I was offered the position, he even stopped by to counsel might that it would be a bad career move.
This made me think that perhaps the offer to me was a ploy by Gates and Ballmer to fire me because of their disappointment in dealing with Turbo Pascal and my suggestion that perhaps my assignment to managing programming languages was a poor choice on their part. It seemed clever: give me a task that no one else had succeeded with, let me fail as well, and they would have not only a scapegoat, but easy grounds to terminate me. So, I confronted Gates and Ballmer about my theory. After their somewhat raucous laughter they regained their composure and assured me that the offer was sincere and that they had confidence in my potential success.
So, in January of 1985 I transitioned over the Windows team, but even as I assumed my new role, I discovered that the Windows development architect and manager, Scott McGregor, a former Xerox PARC engineer, has just resigned. Ballmer himself took up McGregor's role as the development lead in addition to his other responsibilities.

BBC Children in Need has revealed that Gary Barlow will once again be bringing some of the biggest names from the music industry together in two concerts which will help to change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.
Chris Evans and Fearne Cotton will host both nights, which will be combined into one TV programme for broadcast on BBC One and BBC One HD during the Appeal week.
Gary Barlow says: "I'm very excited that these incredible artists are giving their time for a special Charity that is close to my heart. This year, BBC Children in Need Rocks is going to be bigger and better than ever, doing not one, but two concerts. There are still some great acts we're keeping up our sleeve to announce in the coming weeks and there will be a couple of surprise moments on stage as well. And who knows, I might even get up on stage too."
BBC Children in Need Chief Executive David Ramsden says: "Gary has created two amazing evenings that will help to change thousands of young lives across the UK.
Please visit bbc.co.uk/pudsey for full details and ways to get involved in this year's Appeal.

Knowledge and Productivity in Technical Support Work
In this paper, we examine the process of technical support work and the role of knowledge in enhancing the productivity of such work. We develop the concepts of problem-solving tasks and moves to describe technical support work, while using call resolution time and problem escalation as measures of productivity. Using hierarchical log-linear modeling, we establish the link between problem-solving moves and productivity. We find that the mix of moves exercised in technical support strongly depends on the formulation of tasks by those requesting support. Because the formulation of tasks is performed by users, knowledge management initiatives must target users as well as support providers to have the desired impact on productivity.

The mission didn't start automatically for me. I had to go to the location Mark A?
- At some point after Blitz Play and after you've bought the Sonar Collections Dock, a blue question mark will show up on the dock, signifying a Strangers and Freaks mission for Michael. After speaking with the Abigail Mathers, this mission essentially starts, though you certainly don't have to immediately start it. When you get around to collecting all the Submarine Pieces, and you've received a phone call from Abigail, that's when the 'A' should show up...so, if you're seeing the A, the mission was essentially a success, and you have to meet her for it to properly conclude.

10 bucks?!
10 flipping bucks! I was quit unamused upon finishing this quest. On top of that, her stinking Asea conked out on me halfway up the dirt road! I have the PS3 version so it seems that was my one shot of getting said car. I got screwed twice!

Talk Fusion, the innovative video marketing company founded by CEO Bob Reina, is continuing on its push toward a fantastic 2016 year. Reina and his company just landed the coveted Product of the Year Award from Communications Solutions. This is the second big media award that the video marketing guru has landed and we expect to see more accolades pulled down as the year progresses. This award is given to companies that work incredibly well with their products and services to create a driven voice and market for happy customers.
For Reina this award hasn't just been a long time coming, it's been well deserved also. Talk Fusion was established by CEO Reina a few years ago when he couldn't find a program that fit his needs on the marketplace. Reina initially had wanted to utilize embedded videos in his marketing emails but none of the popular email clients at the time had that as an offer. So Reina pulled together a group of IT gurus and thus Talk Fusion was born.
Reina calls this latest award, "just the beginning". He goes on to say that the company has huge plans for the future as they seek to "stay ahead of the curve" and really push the limit on what All-in-One video marketing has to offer in the current digital climate. With that being said it is easy to see that Reina isn't just making this up as he goes, he clearly has a plan and is implementing it masterfully.
Talk Fusion is one of the first complete video marketing solutions on the internet and as such the company is blazing some trails. The company was established back in 2007 and has grown exponentially over the past several years. Right now Reina is showcasing a 30 day free trial program that seeks to tempt customers into giving the highly effective program a shot. So far Talk Fusion has established itself as a powerhouse in the marketing world and they don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Reina has already been aware of how important it is to give back, staying active in the charitable world.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do people go through as a group? What about my individual situation and condition?
In a typical treatment program, the 28 days are interrupted by people entering and leaving the program sporadically. Our unique group approach eliminates these distractions. Don't worry, you'll receive individual treatment for your specific situation. Each Participant will engage in over 120 hours of counseling, much of it individual.
2. What's the matter with typical 12-step programs?
12 step programs are successful for some but they don't work for everybody. The Clearing is a 12-Steps alternative. Unlike the 12 steps, we treat the core issues underlying addiction rather than addiction itself; healing follows naturally. Check out more ways we're different from typical 12-step programs.
3. Why does the Program last 28 days?
Our Program is progressive, one day builds upon the next. 28 days may seem like a long time but the days will fly by. Extended, focused time is necessary to fully integrate what you learn.
4. What is the composition of the group?
Groups will be a mixture of men and women. All Participants are screened for their willingness and motivation to heal.
5. Will I have to give up my cell phone and computer?
Internet-enabled phones and computers are available to check out but due to federal HIPAA privacy laws, we are required to guarantee you and your fellow participants confidentiality. This means that personal cameras, including computers and phones with cameras, will not be permitted.
6. Will I have a roommate?
No. Each participant will be assigned a private room with their own private bath.
7. What if I want to leave early?
If our Program is not working for you we will assist you in transitioning to another program or home.
8. Can I smoke?
Smoking is permitted in designated smoking areas.
9. What if I don't like the people in my group?
Let's face it, over 28 days you will likely encounter some challenge with someone in the group. At The Clearing, we use these occurrences as opportunities to look deeper into the source of the upset to bring forward both resolution and learning. Of course if any individuals behavior falls outside acceptable norms, our staff will promptly to address the issue appropriately.
10. What happens after I finish?
Over the last three days at The Clearing, you and your family will participate in our Family Care Program which allows you and your family to spend time with counselors in order to transition back into your life. After you return home, you can access our counselors by phone, email and Skype.
11. Is this covered by insurance?
Insurance plans and coverage vary widely, and many insurance plans cover residential treatment. Some of The Clearing's Program fees may be covered by your insurance plan. At this time, we will be an "out-of-network" provider under your insurance plan. We will look to you for full payment upfront, then you can get reimbursed by your insurance company, based on your plan coverage. For planning purposes and budgeting, we are currently developing a standard estimated "bill" with all the insurance codes on it so that you can work with your insurance provider to see roughly what they will reimburse. We will help in any way we can.
12. Is there 24/7 supervision?
Yes. Staff is onsite 24 hours a day.
13. Why do you need to apply? Can't I just sign up?
The Clearing is not for everybody. We work hard to assist you in determining whether The Clearing is the right place for you. The successful applicant has carefully considered their options, is ready to actively engage and is seriously ready to improve their life.
14. What's the food like?
Glad you asked! We know food is an important consideration and our food is unlike anything you'll find at most residential treatment facilities. Our menus have been prepared by an island-based chef and rely heavily on his knowledge of the best locally-sourced, fresh ingredients.
15. Do I get any free time?
Yes. Monday – Saturday, you have free time 7:00-10:00pm for homework, reading, relaxation, etc. Sundays are also an off day where you are free for afternoon family visits and island activities.
16. Can I leave the island during the program?
No. Once the program has started, unless for an emergency, we require all participants to remain on San Juan Island.
17. Can I have visitors?
Yes, visitors are allowed on Sundays. Phone and email will also be available.
18. Can I detox here?
No, our Program is post-detox. If you need to complete this step first, we'll be happy to assist you in locating an appropriate program for you.
19 Do you provide medication?
We will inventory your prescribed medications upon check-in and support your personal protocol. If additional medications are necessary during your stay here, our consulting physician will prescribe them and they will be distributed by our dispensary.

My former boss, Sir Wawa, once told me, respect is something you've to earn, it's not something you force people around you to do. I totally agree but I realized, respect is something you have to learn as well. If you can't have it, at least try your best to know it and give it, who knows it's the only thing you need for you to have it in return.
This act might appear somewhat big but a lot of times, it manifests on the simplest of things, take the following examples:
1. Respect for the things you no longer have.
Yes, it's not easy to totally let go of the things you are accustomed to but you've to accept the fact that once you've decided to throw it away, someone or somebody else will pick it up and own it and perhaps, put more value to it than what you are capable of doing. Lesson, think a hundred times first before you decide to leave, and stop coming back for it. You left it, forget about it. After all, it's you who wanted it.
2. Respect for somebody else's feelings.
Not because you want to prove something about yourself, you have to do anything and everything even if it will cause a strain to other people's happiness or peace. You still want to test the waters, fine. But what does it say about you?
3. Respect for yourself.
Look at you after what you've done. Did you get what you've come back for? Did it make you happy? Like what Sir Wawa said, you've to earn it and what better way to do it than respecting yourself first.

A Safari Web Browser For Windows…Kinda
Well, this one is kind of far fetched but the
Swift Web Browser
is supposed for those people who like Apple's Safari browser. At least the header on their site reads "Like Apple's Safari? Get Swift!" It definitely doesn't look like Safari and the only similarities that you will find is in the rendering engine since it uses the Apple WebKit. I would go into details about the features but, well, there aren't really any :) . The Tools menu has no options and all of the other menus are very basic. I can't imagine that people would seriously want this browser in Windows when there are several other browsers that have much better site compatibility. The only reason I could see this being useful is if you didn't have access to a Mac computer and wanted to test out your site to make sure it is compatible with Safari. Swift is in the Alpha stages so it is way too early to be judging anything. All browsers have to start somewhere and
even Firefox started off with only the basics

Top Review by Memorymaker
This is now a favourite in our house. I like it because it reminds me of when I was a kid and it's SO simple I can whip it up in a flash for lunch boxes. The kids LOVE it! We also like varying it with some mini marshmallows or corn flakes. The mix does need to cool slightly though or the marshmallows melt. Thanks for listing this one!
