Do you/your children go to every event you are invited to?

It's that time of year when there are a lot of birthday/party/end of year event invitations. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of things we have scheduled.
Obviously there are times when you are invited to two things on the same time/day- in those situations I go to the person who invited me first, and send my apologies for the other.
Do you ever decline invitations when you don't necessarily have something clashing though, just because that might be the only free time you have in a week? Or because you know your kids are going to be exhausted if you take them to 5 things in one weekend?
Eg one day we have been invited to a morning, midday and early evening thing- it's technically possible to go to all three, but would be an exhausting day running from one thing to the next, DS2 would just have a micro-sleep in the car and then be really cranky by the 4pm thing... [I am not normally too fussy about my kids sleep but usually when it's just one thing, you can compensate in other areas... eg they don't have a day sleep, but you can put them to bed early, etc]
[I'm probably a bit more stressed than usual as it's also an incredibly busy time with DP's work so she literally sees the kids about 1-2 times a week at the moment and we really need a little bit of "down time" for her to reconnect with them on her one day off, plus do all the stuff around the house that builds up during the week]
I don't want to dissapoint anyone, because I know how dissapointing it can be if you organise a party for your child and not many people turn up, and I want their child to have a happy day. At the same time sometimes I think the tradition is to invite everyone from the playgroup/mothers group etc- so that no-one feels left out and that everyone is welcome- but the hosts are not necessarily expecting everyone to come (eg a group email sent out or everyone on facebook invited). I know for example when my DS1 was younger I would tend to either invite no-one or everyone from a playgroup, for this reason, but generally only about 1/2 the people would come.
Can anyone give some tips as to what the etiquette is here? Obviously leaving people hanging with no RSVP and then "dumping" someone's party for "something better" would be a big no. Is it ok to decline things when you don't technically have a clash, but are already committed to a couple of things that weekend and need to squeeze in some other jobs [Christmas shopping etc] ? Or is that rude ? Does it depend on how well you know the person, type of invite, type of event etc?

To me its pretty simple, I try to go to everything I can for the kids but there is a limit. If for whatever reason (too busy, too much etc) its not possible to go, I RSVP that we can't go.
I'm with Ferdinand as well, time is so limited on the weekends and if 2 events clash, I will choose the one that the family will enjoy more (unless its a family event)

I think it depends on how important the event is, whether that be the occasion, the person/people, whether the whole family is involved or whether we can divide and conquer..... So many things to consider.
For us, birthdays at this time of year are very important - we have a December birthday, so I'm conscious of that and if anyone is invited to a birthday party, I will take them, but if we were all invited to 3 things on one day, we'd probably not do them all. I'm not afraid of sending DH off to something without me though, so we might do that.
Most important is to let them know though.

I wouldn't be taking my kids to 3 events in one day, it would guarantee a meltdown (from them and me!) I usually try to take dd to friends birthdays if possible but if it clashes with something important that I have planned I might say no.
You sound like a very considerate person but its ok to put limits on socializing and prioritise family time (and chill out time!)

This. I have 4 children with birthdays in December so I am conscious of that. We also divide and conquer. We will often sit down and work out : "okay if you take dd to the party and on the way drop ds at basketball, then I will take so and so and so and so to their party and to the school picnic" etc then we all meet up at the end of the day completely exhausted.

Ok so if you can't go to something "just because" what do you tell the host?
schmach I know what you mean about December birthdays... almost all of one side of our family has Dec birthdays (which adds to the things, but then I also know what it's like for the kids who want to have parties then, so feel bad for the little kids we know who have birthdays now)
Posted 22 November 2012 - 09:11 AM
It depends, if 2 children from the same class on the one day I would try to go to both. If we don't go I would have RSVP'd and I send a gift. I know most people probably wouldn't think it necessary, but I like to.
I think a balance is important with family life and saying you're already committed is fine.
It would depend on how well my child knows the inviter and if your D1 is in primary I would take invites more seriously as it is an opportunity to meet parents that you might like to get to know better too, as well as I think friends and friendship groups mean more to children at this age.
For a primary child I would be happy to ask another parent to take my child with her's if I had a sleeper. Friends do these things for each other

I try to go to everything, but also try to limit outings on the weekend to just one. We need down time too!
Saying that though, my sons at the moment have SEVEN invitations to parties in the next 3 weeks. Just in time for me to have our third baby!?! argh. We are going to try to get to them all just so they don't miss out.

I'm really sorry, but we won't be able to make it. Hope X has a great party
3 events on one day .. honestly, it's going to depend on what they are. Can we split up and go to different events? If I have young kids, where are the events - if one of them is a home party and the child can sleep there?
We've hit multiple parties on the one day. As an occasional thing, I do try and manage to do all of them, particularly now when most of the parties are smaller parties, rather than whole class affairs.
We had one day a few months ago - DD2 had 2 parties, 1:30-4 and 2:30-4:30. We had a big talk about it. One of the other girls who was also invited to both decided to do both parties - left the first party early and got to the second party late. As DD1 had also been invited to the second party, we decided the DD2 would go to the whole of the first party, and say no to the second (they still got one of my kids LOL). But could still wish her friend a happy birthday when we turned up to pick up DD1.
Luckily, by now most of the school parties are ok - we all tend to have a vague idea of when parties are going to be on, for their close friends. And we do have a couple where the birthdays are within a couple of days of each other, and we have learnt to coordinate.
Whatever you choose, just make sure you RSVP. having someone not come can be disappointing, but it's much much worse if they are sitting waiting and you simply don't show up.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 11:36 AM
Just tell the host you have a busy weekend and will not be able to make it. They really only want to know if you will there or not, not that johnny down the road has a party on at the same time and he invited you first.
I are an effort for the kids to go to all parties. But this is because I know they enjoy them. If I thought it was too much or had something else I would rather be doing I would just say no.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 12:20 PM
We have this very thing happening on Saturday. It is going to be a big day and one that which requires alot of organisation - as it is DD1 will miss about 30 minutes of her party.
However both girls have been warned that they could miss any further birthday parties etc because we are very busy from now right up to Christmas/New Year.

I just tell people that sorry, that weekend is already full. No need to specify that one of the things filling up time is a nap for the sake of everybody's sanity!
Posted 22 November 2012 - 01:04 PM
I used to try and "kid-pool" with other parents e.g. I would drop off mine and one or two others and other parent would pick them up or if it was a little kid's party would either try to off-load mine onto another parent or take an extra child with me. I laways felt that there would be plenty of family catch up time after the silly season finished.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 06:49 PM
Do you ever decline invitations when you don't necessarily have something clashing though, just because that might be the only free time you have in a week? Or because you know your kids are going to be exhausted if you take them to 5 things in one weekend?Yep absolutely. We started doing that when they were little and out of sorts if they spent too long away from their own beds. We just keep it up now as we like our own family time.
Its always the way though - Murphys Law I think. You can sit at home for weekends in a row, then bang, 6 things scheduled all on one weekend.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 07:05 PM
Of course it's not always possible to go to everything. But as the PP's have said, the most important thing is to RSVP. You don't need to give a reason, just as long as you let them know. I'm still astounded that so many people don't RSVP. A friend of mine ATM is still chasing up people for her DD's 1st birthday this weekend. So rude.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 07:12 PM
Why do people think they need to give a reason as to why they won't be thre ? I just say 'sorry we can't make it.'
My kids generally go to any parties they are invited to unless the invitation is from a random kid whom they have every little to do with, and it's an 'invite everybody in the class' party, or if they must don't want to go which sometimes happens.

We are invited to so many things - DH particularly because he has a large social group, but myself as well and we turn down more things than we attend. A lot of them are casual invites like a friend texted me tonight - she is going to a show on Sunday evening, would I like to come? (I know I will be too tired, so texted back to say so), Another sent a group email about going to a Japanese bathhouse on Sunday afternoon - again, I can't go because we'll be at my parent's place.
With kids things there are less, but we often get a message on a weekend morning from one school friend or antoher asking if we want to join them at a park or playcentre for a quick play and often have to turn it down - often simply because we have something on that afternoon and it get's to overwhelming to have appointments back to back. Birthday parties we will always try to make it to unless they completely clash or we are away for the weekend, or DS is sick.
If I really don't want to go or just need some quiet time and need an excuse I usually say 'we've got a family thing on". Which is true in a way, as we will be doing something as a family.

if there is too much on I will decline. It has taken me a long time to be ok doing that though. My 3yos preschool party is on a Fri night at a disco. I thought initially he could go but then decided that he is not really a party kid and that he doesn't need to go. We then got an invitation for something else though so luckily I did say no.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 08:10 PM
We do try to attend as much as possible but also are fine with the fact that sometimes things happen and you can't be in two places at once. This year I am really clamping down on Dec I am not doing 3 and 4 things in a day (we have done in the past). A couple of years ago I had 1 Saturday that months out I planned to have a dinner for my Birthday on a group of girls and I were going out for a nice meal and catch up..... Well in the weeks leading up to it we then ended up with 2 very close friends kids parties and DH's work Christmas Party all on that day.. I swear we spent more time in the car going between venues than we did at each function and by the time I got to dinner I was ready for bed lol...
Now I have a set limit on things and have already bailed out of one thing ( I was attending a gingerbread house workshop with the kids, but will grab my kit and we will do it at home) as it has fallen on the same day as a friends surprise birthday thing and DH's work kid's Christmas Party. I have purposely kept the following day free, then the following weekend I know there are 2 things on DH will take the kids to one and I will head to the other on my own once again keeping the Sunday free. What with Christmas and sport break ups I already have a fullish month so will be not taking on much more especially as my DD has been really ill recently so I don't want to run her into the ground.
Last year I noticed that with school not finishing until Dec 22 the older 2 were so fried and overwrought by Christmas that this year we are really pulling back on everything and DH and I were even mooting running away for a few days with the kids camping before Christmas just to veg (trying to work out a time we can though and not miss important stuff at school.
This year the priority is Family, school/ sports, inner circle of friends and then extended family and social circle. The main thing is to RSVP and no you don't need to say why just say can't make it or prior commitments. My aim is to reach Christmas as calmly and mellow as I can..
Posted 22 November 2012 - 09:02 PM
I only attend events I want to attend, even if I have no reason to not attend except that I don't want to.
And as PPs have said, you don't need to justify yourself.

|900 sq. ft.
|Property type
***Please read the listing description for all questions regarding the units bed arrangement, amenities, parking, check in etc. This will save time for you and me as most of the information can be found here ***
One of a kind panoramic penthouse located at the heart of the Las Vegas Blvd strip on the 52nd floor of Vdara with 270° surround views! This sky-high 1BD/1.5BA condo gives you breathtaking views of the Strip, Bellagio Fountain, CityCenter , and the scenic Nevada mountains!
This unit is not available through Vdara as there are only 6 of this kind in the entire hotel and this one is the biggest sitting on 920 sq ft. The unit also features a fully equipped kitchen and kitchenware is available upon request from the front desk any time during your stay.
Also, even though my pricing is already very competitive, I will still BEAT any price by 5% from a legitimate source with sufficient proof for a room at Vdara equivalent or higher than Panoramic suite.
- 270° views of Las Vegas
- Panoramic Views of the strip and Bellagio Lake
-A custom king-size bed with pillow-top mattress by Sealy
-Living room with pullout queen-size sofa bed
-High speed wired and wireless Internet access
- Media hub for Mp3 players, cameras, DVD players and game consoles
- Washer and dryer
- Four-burner electric cook top and microwave
- Stainless steel refrigerator
- Large spa-style soaking tub
Check In Process:
The check in process works just like if you were to book through the hotel or other sources. Once the booking is complete and payment is cleared, you will receive a reservation number. When you arrive to the hotel you will need to present any major credit card, an ID as well as the reservation number you will be provided with by me. Check in time is 3PM and check out is 11AM. Early check ins and late check outs are allowed, but only if there is no other guests checking in or out around the dates of your visit.
Bed arrangement:
The unit sleeps 4 people + there is a rollaway bed available from the hotel making it total 5. There is a King bed in the bedroom which sleeps 2 and a pull out sofa that sleeps 2 more comfortably. Vdara offers rollaway beds. I use to be able to reserve them for my guests but I can no longer do that. As a hotel guest you may call the hotel the day before check or on the day of check in and ask them to put one in the room for you before you check in. This always works and we have not had any issues lately. They have plenty of them and only on the big holidays is when they have a chance of running out.
By booking through me you will have access to all the hotel amenities such as pool, fitness center as well as access to free valet parking. Kitchen utensils are available upon request. We do not keep them in the room at all times due to instances where guests just end up losing them or just taking them when check out.
Recently there has been a trend of hotels adding daily parking fee on per night basis. Vdara jumped onboard and currently charges $15/night. By booking through me you will NOT be charged this fee as privately owned units are excluded from this new policy.
Please contact me via phone or through here for any additional information or any other special requests.
I stay at VDARA every time I come to Vegas. Best centrally located hotel.
The apartment suite is on the 52nd floor with awesome 280 degree views of the entire strip and the city. Looks down onto Bellagio water show and The Cosmo.
Kitchen, guest bathroom, Dining area for 4-6, Living room (with pull out bed), private Bedroom with corner views of city, huge bathroom with shower and separate huge tub.
Modern and clean with electronic blinds and blackout blinds.
Absolutely hassle free and fair rates for VDara.
Me and my two kids had a ball at this property. Gorgeous views of the mountains and of the streets of vegas. I've been to Vegas a few times and I can say for sure this was the first time I felt the true vegas spirit.
The penthouse had beautiful views! The views were definitely the best part of our stay! Hotel staff were very kind and super helpful!
A few of the downfalls of this place for us:
1. Hard to get to the strip from this place. You have to walk through a hotel and mall or walk through the Belagio to get to the strip.
2. Pull out couch is broken and sucks to sleep on! (Had to pay $40 a night for twin bed to sleep on.)
3. Little things in the penthouse were broken ex. to lamp shades, pull out couch.
4. No oven.
5. No one cleans the place until you check out. Had to wash our own towels, refill our toilet paper etc.
6. Only 1 tiny place to eat in the hotel, Starbucks and a bar.
7. Asked the owner a couple questions just prior to our stay and he never replied. However, he asked me if I was going to be out early on the Monday of my check out so that someone could check in early.
For the price, I think that I would have rather rented a hotel room and had cleaning service and two full size beds.
The place has breathtaking views of Las Vegas.
I stressed out do to only getting my information hours before my stay.
I had booked my stay 2 month before.
I was a bit skeptical about staying in this room because for the price, I thought the room was not going to be as nice as described. That changed instantly once I opened the door. The views are breathtaking (awesome view of the strip and the Bellagio Fountains at night). There is 1 1/2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, 2 TVs, and spacious bedroom. The curtains in the room will open and close with the push of a button. The staff is friendly and access to City Center, the Bellagio, and the Cosmopolitan are very close. If you are on the fence, stop thinking before someone else snatches this room up. We will definitely stay here when we return.
The penthouse and the Vdara were perfect! The Vdara does not have a casino so there isn't the normal cigarette smell you get when you walk into a property that has a casino. While the people watching isn't as great at the Vdara, it was refreshing to return to the Vdara and have a welcoming smell. The penthouse is amazing!!! The views are incredible and the condo is perfect. I don't have any recommendations to improve it at all. Perfect stay!

Roger Daltrey to open model railway centre
Roger Daltrey and Jools Holland are to open the world's largest model railway exhibition centre in Kent.
The Who rocker and the 58-year-old musician-and-presenter are part of a group of enthusiasts behind the £6.2 million Ashford International Model Railway Education Centre (Aimrec), which was granted planning permission by Ashford council last week.
Roger and fellow model railway fan Cliff Parsons came up with the proposal for the centre three years ago after a pub discussion of
how appalling it was of how little today's children know about Britain's proud rail heritage.
The 2.5-acre facility will display up to 30 enormous model railway layouts, many of them worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, with an unnamed member of the royal family offering one layout.
Visitors will download an app to their phone or tablet that will allow them to control the model railway layouts; immersive computer graphics will whisk them back in time and demonstrate how railways "transformed everything" from the "post and newspapers to horse racing and funfairs".
In an interview with The Independent newspaper, Cliff said: "Everything in there will work and be interactive. It won't be stuff in glass cases. "You'd be surprised how many people are into model railways. They're works of art; some of them are exhibition pieces that have taken more than 30 years to make."
As well as Roger, Jools and Cliff, pop producer Pete Waterman and businessman Sir william McAlpine are also involved with the centre, which is hoping to open in 2018.
And Cliff has also had discussions with Rod Stewart about getting involved in the venture, and also hopes to speak with another model railway enthusiast, Phil Collins.
Hamburg's Miniatur Wunderland, currently the world's largest model-railway attraction, pulls in 1.2 million visitors a year.
But the Aimrec is on track to rival those numbers - it's location is only 37 minutes from London and within easy reach of Europe's 10 million modellers.

Chennai, Jan 11 (UNI) A popular city-based publishing house, Manimekalai Prasuram, will release 22 books under various titles on January 13 during the annual Chennai Book Fair, which began here a couple of days ago.
Manimekalai Prasuram Managing Director Ravi Tamilvanan told newspersons here yesterday that the books would cover a variety of topics, including tips on success in life and biographies.
The books included an English book on ''Complete Oral Health Guide'', written by Bangalore-based dentist Mageswari, the Tamil version of Shakespeare's famous play Othello by Pazha Mani and life history of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK supremo M Karunanidhi titled ''Dr Kalaignar: A Guide for Human Life'' by Akbar Ghouse.
He said more than 2,500 books of Manimekalai Prasuram were on display and sale at the book fair.
The publishing house was holding talks with an official in London to launch e-books by releasing books in CD formats and on internet.
''The investment will be on higher side. Talks were on with a person in London and we hope to launch it in six months' time,'' he said.
Manimekalai Prasuram had already released a CD version of 1,000 essays written by his brother, writer and journalist Lena Tamilvanan, running into 45 hours.

Pain - Masochism and Tyler Durden
I am not most people. I like pain on a few different levels, and I appreciate it as being equal to pleasure or anything else I might experience. I also value it as a part of my personal philosophy. because not all pain is the same, and different types of pain are valuable in different ways.
You see, the human body is not made of glass. Small cuts and bruises and scrapes WILL NOT KILL YOU. You might not like it, but this is a valuable thing to know. Your body is an amazing machine, it is capable of amazing strength and able to endure extreme temperatures, to function with little food or water for days on end, to withstand a variety of diseases and traumas. People are stronger then they give themselves credit. Tyler Durden is my hero in part because of his desire to test his own physical limits, and his desire to see others do the same. When you are broken or bleeding or doubled over in pain, you are alive and in the moment in the purest sense of the word.
Pain is also important as a counterpoint to pleasure. For some people pain feels good, for others, it's a nice little jolt to remind of how good the good things feel in contrast to something a little nastier. What may be a horrible feeling for some is enjoyable to others.
The point is, there are a range of physical experiences your body is capable of. Some people enjoy certain sensations more then others, and you should not fear or judge those who choose to do that.

Blue/Violet Hair
I got super bored with my hair last week. The black dye was fading and my sides were growing in and the whole thing looked like a mess. So I got some bleach and ultra violet dye and cut it with some left over dark red/pruple I had left over and did this! I also gave myself a nice leave in treatment and trimmed the ends since the bleach was hell on my hair.
Bonus shot of me being silly. I like chewing on my tongue ring.

My Make Up - Geometric Brown
So I decided to go ahead and finally post one of my makeup routines. This one is pretty quick and basic, and fun for school days. I usually find brown shadows boring so this is my answer to that, fun shapes!
First step is foundation, I use covergirl clean. Super cheap and nice coverage.
Now things get weird. use some plain old scotch tape to mark where I want my eyeshadow to have a clean line.
Peel off the tape and we're left with a nice clean line.
Then I draw on my eyebrows. I use a plain black eyebrow pencil most days and just touch up my lines with a wet q-tip after.
Then I layer on a few coats of lash blast mascara. This stuff is really nice, no flake and very little clumping for the price.
I usually put a thin coat of nude lipstick on as well. I like Maybelline lipsticks, they come in a million colors and are pretty cheap.
And then we're done! What do you think should I post more make up walk throughs?

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) accused President Trump on Friday of being more open with Russian officials than he has been with the American people.
"The president of the United States disclosed more to Russian officials than the American public. This isn't normal," Harris wrote on Twitter.
The President of the United States disclosed more to Russian officials than the American public. This isn't normal. https://t.co/XcLmA9gnm4— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) May 19, 2017
Included in Harris' tweet was a link to a New York Times article reporting that Trump had told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during a meeting last week that firing FBI Director James Comey relieved him of "great pressure," presumably because of the bureau's probe into the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia.
In that same conversation, Trump referred to Comey as "crazy" and "a real nut job," according to the Times.
Trump has faced a steady flow of controversial revelations over the past 10 days, including that he asked Comey in February to end the FBI's investigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
The Senate and House intelligence committees are also probing possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow. The president has repeatedly denied any sort of coordination between his campaign and Russia or any improper connections with the Kremlin.


text: Home Mobile Slideshow Road Warriors' Essential Mobile Toolkit If you spend more time with your smartphone and tablet than a computer, here's what you should have with you. By Galen Gruman, Executive Editor, InfoWorld | Jan 2, 2014 6:00 AM PT Share All Slides SLIDEFEATURED PRODUCTS Tools for life on the go Charger block and charge/sync cables Protective cases, sleeves, and covers for tablets Networking gear Audio cable Headphones and earbuds Presentation gear Camera gear Bluetooth keyboard Specialty mobile hardware Mobile gear for home and office More InfoWorld mobile slideshows Share this Slideshow Direct link: Tools for life on the go You can do amazing stuff via smartphones and tablets, even when not in your office. But to tap their capabilities to the max, you'll need to pack some peripherals. The following are my picks for what you need for your iOS and Android devices. Charger block and charge/sync cables When traveling, bring one charge/sync cable for each device -- you never know when you need to charge more than one simultaneously. Retractable cables can save space, but they tend to break easily, so using rubber bands to corral more-durable cables is a better idea.Also bring a charger block that can power two devices -- many do just one device, so you need more outlets and chargers. Be sure it supports tablets' higher wattage requirements on at least one port. If you rent cars a lot, get a second charger block that plugs into a cigarette lighter port. I like PowerGen's dual-port USB wall charger and its car charger due to their compact size, nice design, and reasonable prices. Protective cases, sleeves, and covers for tablets Many kinds of protectors are available: sleeves, portfolios, cases, and covers. Choose one based on aesthetics and your usage patterns -- sleeves need to go somewhere while you work and are best suited as protection while in transit, for example.I prefer the combination of a separate screen cover like the Apple Smart Cover and case such as Speck Products' SmartShell because I can put aside the cover while holding the iPad, reducing its weight. You won't find such magnetic covers for Android tablets, so your best option is a case designed for your specific model, such as the Samsung Book Cover. (I'm not a fan of screen films, as they're typically messy and not durable.) Networking gear A smartphone or cellular tablet can act as a hotspot for other devices, if your data plan supports such usage. But you should still consider getting a mobile hotspot. Most are tied to pricey contracts, but not the Karma, which provides pay-as-you-go access for $14 per gigabyte. Multiple users can share one device but keep their data accounts separate. It uses T-Mobile's 3G network, so it works only in urban cores, but a Sprint-based LTE version is due this spring for faster, broader coverage.The Trendnet N150 travel router is great for hotels that don't have Wi-Fi but do have Ethernet jacks, or that charge per Wi-Fi device. Use it to connect all your devices via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Audio cable Although more and more cars support Bluetooth audio streaming or have a USB port for connecting a smartphone to a stereo, many -- especially rental cars -- do not. But they have an auxiliary port, so carry around a standard 3mm audio cable. You'll also want it when watching a movie on a hotel or other older TV via a VGA cable.If you travel with a companion frequently, consider getting an audio splitter so that you can watch the same movie from one tablet. Headphones and earbuds For long plane rides, you'll no doubt want to listen to music or movies on your mobile device. Get a pair of good headphones if you travel a lot; unlike earbuds, they cut out a lot of the engine and cabin noise. Although it's pricey and a bit bulky, I especially appreciate my Bose QuietComfort 3 when going cross-country or overseas.The rest of the time, keep a pair of good earbuds handy. Klipsch's Image S3 has very nice in-canal earbuds, with great sound and a nice array of colors. Apple's EarPods fit nicely if, like me, you don't like the kind of earbuds that insert into your ear canal. Presentation gear An iPad or iPhone is a great presentation device, thanks to the Keynote app and iOS's video-out and screen mirroring. You'll need a VGA adapter or HDMI adapter cable -- probably one of each. I also recommend Apple's Keynote Remote app, so your iPhone can remote-control your iPad (or Mac) presentation. If you travel a lot, carry an Apple TV for wireless presentations via HDMI displays, plus Kanex's ATV Pro VGA adapter.Some Android devices support video-out, through a MicroHDMI or MHL-enabled MicroUSB port, via an HDMI cable or MHL cable. Samsung has a MicroUSB-to-VGA adapter, as does iKross, as well as a MiniHDMI-to-VGA adapter. Too bad there's no widely supported Apple TV-like option yet. Camera gear The iPhone and Android smartphones have become most people's digicams, thanks to their quality cameras. But SLRs remain critical for pros and even many amateurs -- who like to transfer their photos to smartphones or tablets for image editing or simply to upload to Facebook or Flickr. Consider a phone-mountable SLR like the Sony DSC-QX10.Some Android devices come with MicroSD slots to make such transfer easy. Otherwise, you'll need a MicroUSB cable that works with your camera or need a card reader adapter to use various media cards.For iPhones and iPads, you'll need an SD or MicroUSB adapter. Apple's Camera Connection Kit provides both for the Dock Connector. For Lightning devices, Apple offers a separate SD card reader and MicroUSB adapter. Bluetooth keyboard Some people hate the onscreen keyboard of a tablet or find it suffices for only short bursts of typing. The answer to that is a Bluetooth keyboard. You can use any Bluetooth keyboard with an iOS or Android device, but you'll prefer one designed for your OS to get its specific keys.I like Logitech's Tablet Keyboard (available for iOS and for Android). Many users love the Zagg Keyboard Case for iPad. The Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover also has fans raving, with versions for the iPad Mini, iPad Air, and older iPads. All these keyboards protect both the keys and your iPad's screen, and all work as a stand. Specialty mobile hardware People in certain professions can take advantage of specialty hardware for their work. iOS devices have the widest range of such options.The Square Credit Card Reader lets retailers take card payments almost anywhere, from farmers markets to concerts. And the Epson Mobilink P60 lets retailers print receipts via Bluetooth. The Automatic tracks your mileage, driving routes, and gas costs.There's a wide range of iPad add-ons for musicians, from 1K Muktimedia's iRig MIDI connector to K&M's iPad holder for music stands. Ben Harvell's "Make Music with Your iPad" book tours the options.Physicians and nurses might want AliveCor's Heart Monitor (which transmits its readings to an iPhone), the Withings blood pressure monitor, or the AgaMatrix glucose monitor. Mobile gear for home and office When you are back at the office or at home, you'll no doubt still use your mobile devices. You'll want some mobile tools there, too.Charging blocks are handy, but I also have installed Cooper Industries' TR7745W USB-equipped power outlets near my desk and entryway for easy charging for my devices -- and my visitors'.Lantronix's xPrintServer lets any iOS device print to any printer on the network. There are three models: small office/department, home, and large office.Docking stands are also handy, especially for smartphones and small tablets. I like the simple, swooping Konnet iCrado Pro stands. There are versions for the Dock, Lightning, and Samsung connectors, and they come in many colors.

i know that it's different based on your area and everything like that. but i just need a rough estimate of what you would charge for a two tier cake ( 8" and 6") decorated in buttercream with a pink circus theme.
the flavor is graham cracker cake with ganache filling.
what would you charge?and what is the cheapest price you could do it for?
AStarting at $181.50 before tax or delivery.
do you have a flat rate for a basic buttercream decorated cake by size? and then if the decorations are complex, it becomes more expensive? or if they add fondant?
i know my question is probably silly, but i am new and i've really never done this before outside of work.
i'm part of a baby play group in my community and one of the moms needs a cake for 25 people and a smash cake for a first birthday party. she wants a price right now, or as soon as possible, but i would need to go to the store and cost everything out, which i plan on doing, but i'd like to give her a rough estimate now. i'm afraid to undersell myself and then everyone will want a cake that i make no profit on, but i also don't want to be outrageous either so no one will order any...
ADepending on your costs you are looking at a price between $100 and $300. There is no single "cheapest price", it all depends on how much you want to pay yourself.
thank you
maybe a better question would be,how much would this cost you?
Original message sent by kaylawaylalayla
maybe a better question would be,how much would this cost you?
Including ingredients, labor, and allocated overhead, somewhere in the $70-250 range.
thank you again. and thank you for not making fun of me.
now she only wants a ten inch.
Well, that should be around the same price, with those same specs. A 10 inch cake will have more servings than an 8 and 6, but won't require the stacking, a larger box or second cake round, but looking at your costs, the price should be close.
AWhat is this customer's budget and how many servings do they need? These questions should be asked at the beginning of the order process to help quickly narrow down what is reasonable and what is not.

BC to raise stakes money
Breeders' Cup Ltd. and the National Thoroughbred Racing Association plan to contribute additional purse money through the Breeders' Cup Stakes program to 113 races in 2004, a 10-race increase over last year.
The total awards for the 113 races will be $7.2 million this year, up $800,000 over 2003. The awards for individual races range from $100,000 to $25,000, in some cases doubling the total purse for the stakes.
While all horses will be eligible to run in any of the Breeders' Cup stakes, only horses nominated to the Breeders' Cup are eligible to win the additional purse money. The program was created in order to allow Breeders' Cup-nominated horses to earn additional purse awards throughout the year, rather than just on Breeders' Cup Day.
A portion of the increase in additional purse awards in 2004 was raised by an increase in the starting fee for horses in the eight Breeders' Cup Championship day races last year, according to Jim Gluckson, a spokesman for Breeders' Cup. The starting fee for those races was raised in 2003 from 2 percent of the total purse to 3 percent, an increase criticized by some owners.
The 10 new Breeders' Cup races in 2004 include the $400,000 Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park, with $100,000 of the purse eligible for Breeders' Cup-nominated horses; the $200,000 Monmouth Oaks at Monmouth Park, a race that was renewed this year after a one-year hiatus ($100,000 in BC funds); and the $200,000 Pat O'Brien Handicap at Del Mar ($50,000).

Boss Rafa Benitez has urged Newcastle United fans to have faith in his selection policy.
The gaffer has taken light criticism from some sections of the United fanbase for his insistence of switching the team around from game to game.
But, in a 46-match Championship season, Benitez sees this as necessity.
And he is urging fans to be patient with his selection. He says in a lengthy season, his selection isn't always about the present. He's playing the long game, too.
The Spaniard explains: "I try to do things in a normal way. In try to be professional and make the right decisions. But you cannot keep everyone happy in football.
"If I pick one player, some fans will ask why I didn't pick a different one instead. That is normal. I can accept that.
"I can understand why fans are saying, 'Why he doesn't he pick this one or that one', but as well as concentrating on the present, we are also having half an eye on the future.
"The present is the next game, Brentford, and we are already looking their team and their squad and trying to analyse what we think they will do."
While the visit of Brentford to St James is of immediate concern to Benitez he revealed he already has one eye on the January transfer window.
Twelve players came through the doors in the summer, but that doesn't mean Benitez is done in the market.
He said: "The fans have to be confident that we are doing our jobs.
"But at the same time, we are also thinking about January, and even the season after that.
"But at the same time, we cannot lose our focus and our focus has to be the next game.
"We are concentrating on the present, but at the same time, having an eye on the future.
"We are really football-orientated in terms of trying to improve things on the pitch, and I don't know if that has always been the same (in the past).
"I had a meeting with Lee Charnley this week where we were talking about the academy, scouting and people within the staff. "We are trying to manage the football club in a way that everybody is expecting. I think the fans are happy with that, but I am also happy if they want to criticise the manager for the way he picks the team."

text: Hello, I like my 45mm Olympus but it has a little bit too much shaking and slight jello with my inspire....didn't find a workaround for this until now...balanced the lens, then front heavy, then back heavy....but the shake is still there. What is your experience in comparison with the 25mm Olympus ? Are there also vibration/shake/jello problems with this lens or is it really steady with video recordings ?

Spicy Cheese Puff Appetizers
Recipe by 2Bleu
This inexpensive, yet very easy to make party tray appetizer is packed with flavor.
Top Review by 3KillerBs
I don't know if I messed these up or not, but they were rather bland. The little boys like them, but the D&D players sent almost all of them back home. They do hold nicely and were almost no trouble to make. Maybe some garlic would improve them? It would be nice to have a little more guidance in the directions. I didn't know how much to beat the egg whites. I went with foamy but didn't go all the way to the hold-a-peak stage. Also, I only got 26 puffs instead of 50 before I ran out of cheese coating.

Halie, "Why is My Butt So Big?" [Eye Candy x Gallery]
If you watched Cincinnati Bengals superstar Chad Ochocinco's VH1 reality show, The Ultimate Catch, this past summer, you couldn't have missed Heather, the contestant shaped like the number eight. However, the Portland-to-Miami transplant is better known to your favorite rappers as Halie, the name she models under. The 23-year-old, 34C-24-41–owner has bettered videos such as Jeremih's "I Like," Trey Songz's duet with Nicki Minaj, "Bottoms Up," and Rick Ross's "Aston Martin Music." Forget unscripted television—take one look at her frame and ask yourself, "What's realer than that?"
How was it shooting the "Aston Martin Music" video? We hear it went down like a mini-movie.
That was chaotic—it was kids and police officers and cars and a lot of different locations. I had a throwback scene in the video, where Ross is supposed to be younger. I'm the neighborhood girl that Rick Ross wants to have when he gets older.
So are you the girl that a guy should have when he gets older?
Of course. I'm very catering to my man. I like to have fun, keep it spicy and new, cook and clean for you—I do it all.
Being half-Black and half-White, have you always embraced your curves?
As a child, I had to get adjusted to [my curves]. I used to have a big butt in elementary school. I went to an all-White school, so I used to cry every day to my mom, "Why is my butt so big, and why do those boys pick on me?" She had no answers for me.
What brought you to Miami?
I've been in Miami for, like, three years now. I came out here one year for spring break and never went back. I never knew this kind of stuff existed: staying up all night, partying and drinking, beaches, sun. I was like, "This is way better than Portland!" —Bonsu Thompson

Egypt beat Mexico in Volleyball Men's U23 World Championship
Egypt beat Mexico 4-1 to claim their second win in the 2017...
League leaders Hull lost 2-0 to fellow high flyers Derby County thanks to two first half goals from Jacob Butterfield, in a result which saw Hull lose their first place position to the visitors.
Hull XI: McGregor; Odubajo; Davies; Maguire; Elmohamady; Clucas; Livermore; Huddlestone; Maloney; Diame; Hernandez.
Derby XI: Carson; Christie; Keogh; Shackell; Warnock; Hendrick; Butterfield; Thorne; Martin; Ince; Weimann.
After an even start, the Rams opened the scoring after a counter attack was thwarted by Elmohamady's last ditch tackle, however the ball ricocheted to Jacob Butterfield who finished past McGregor.
Hull struggled to create chances against a Derby defence which is among the best in the league, and they paid for it when a Derby cross was cleared by Curtis Davies only as far as Butterfield, who scored his second with a spectacular volley from just outside the box into the bottom corner.
Hull's best chance of the first half fell to Abel Hernandez, after he was found by Maloney's cleverly disguised pass however his shot was saved well by ex-Liverpool keeper Scott Carson, who appeared to be wrong-footed.
As the second half started, Maloney sent a corner to the near post to find Elmohamady who appeared to intentionally handle the ball, however it was not spotted by the referee due to the crowded area.
The frustration continued for the Tigers as Shaun Maloney weaved through into the Derby backline, only for his low effort to go just wide of Carson's goal. Soon after, Maloney was put one on one again by Abel Hernandez, however his goalbound effort was again saved well by Carson.
Hull were first going into the game, however the 2-0 win for Derby puts them at the top of the Championship table, although they could be overtaken by Brighton or Middlesbrough over the weekend who play Birmingham and Huddersfield respectively, with Brighton in the better position of the two.

The hotel didn't look to bad in the photos on their website and there appeared to be no bad reviews.
On arriving I knew it would be bad news because the place was very grubby and they asked us to pay BEFORE we leave.
We hadn't even got to our room and there was litter left on window sills, the cleaners had thrown all of the dirty sheets into the hall way (which we had to step over) and there was a general pungent odour.
The room its self was dirty, there was blood on the duvet, the bathroom mirror was broken and there were foot prints and bogeys on the wall.
When we left to visit the round-house the lady on reception asked us to leave our key: which we refused to do, only to be told "Well we have a master key anyway so we can still get in your room if we need to".... I still have no idea why she felt the need to tell us that but I made sure I left no valuables in the room!
Our room was on the 3rd floor and I was quite shocked to see they were using the fire escape stair-well as a storage area for cleaning supplies and fresh linen so in the event of a fire you would find it extremely difficult to get down the stairs!
And to top it all off the bed was knackered and now I've got a back ache.
I'd have been better of setting the £100 the room cost on fi

Mango Chicken Spinach Salad
Recipe by Amber Dawn
Very Tasty Salad, a refreshing change from the average salad. Found this through WW. Only 5pts per serving
Top Review by Suzie Sue
Good salad - very easy. I didn't have any mango nectar so I just used some tropical fruit juice that I had (100% juice). With the juice the dressing was a little runny and could have used more zing, but otherwise it had good flavor. I will add a little more vinegar next time and will try to find the nectar. I also added sugared almonds, but I think pecans would be even better. I marinated the chicken with a 30 minute marinades (store bought) rather than the broth. I will make this again.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup fat-free chicken broth
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 4 cups spinach, baby leaves
- 2 medium mangoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1⁄3 cup mango nectar
- 2 teaspoons honey mustard
- 1⁄2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon table salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat broth in a small nonstick skillet.
- Add chicken in one layer; cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Arrange spinach on a large serving platter; top with mangoes.
- (To cut a mango, spear the fruit with a large fork. Hold it in place on a cutting board and peel with a paring knife. Cut off thick slices of fruit, then dice.) Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and arrange over mangoes.
- In a bowl, stir together nectar, mustard, curry powder, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.
- Pour over salad and toss; serve.
- Yields about 2 1/4 cups per serving.

You know the story. You watched something as a little kid and thought it was awesome. Decades pass, you see it again through adult eyes and it doesn't hold up. Sometimes the memories are better than the reality. That cartoon you watched every day as a child is utterly unwatchable as an adult. That movie you watched repeatedly in your youth bores you or insults your intelligence today. Yes, you know the story. Dark Night of the Scarecrow, thankfully, is not that story. The remarkable story here is that of an earnest little 1981 made-for-television spookshow that still holds up nearly thirty years later.
Dark Night of the Scarecrow takes place in a quaint farming community where denizens have country-fied names like Skeeter, Philby, Bubba, Marylee, Harless Hocker, and Otis P. Hazelrigg. Mentally challenged adult Bubba Ritter (the future Dr. Giggles, Larry Drake) plays in the field with Marylee (Tonya Crowe), neither aware that local mailman Otis P. Hazelrigg (Charles Durning) watches them with binoculars from afar, seething that the fully grown man-child be allowed anywhere near this delicate young girl. The subtle script only hints at Hazelrigg's motivations: Some sort of incident clearly went down in the past with seemingly timid Bubba injuring someone, not to mention Bubba's mother's insinuation that Hazelrigg is a potential pedophile lusting after Marylee.
Marylee gets mauled by a vicious dog while playing with Bubba. False word has spread that Bubba killed Marylee. Hazelrigg rounds up three local hayseeds to form a lynch mob. Terrified, Bubba runs home to momma; she tells him to play "the hiding game" until everything is sorted out. Bubba attempts to hide by dressing up and playing scarecrow in the field where the four hateful hicks find him and gun him down execution style. No sooner has the rain of gunfire subsided than word comes over the CB that Marylee is badly injured but not dead and that Bubba is actually the one who saved her from the dog attack. Hazelrigg puts a pitchfork in Bubba's hand, and the quartet claim self-defense.
Some time passes. Acquitted due to lack of evidence, the remorseless murderers are arrogantly defiant, even celebratory, in the face of the district attorney vowing to prove their guilt and the anguished cries of injustice from mother Ritter. But then the scarecrow begins to appear in their fields – death follows.
Are the deaths murder or accidents? Is it all just a coincidence, or is someone targeting them? Is it the district attorney going to extreme lengths to coerce a confession? Is it Bubba's mother getting the divine justice she promised them? What about little Marylee, having developed a serious case of creepy child syndrome following her attack and telling people Bubba is still alive, still playing the hiding game? Or, as Hazelrigg refuses to believe, could it be Bubba's spirit back to gain retribution from beyond the grave? The only thing for certain is that everything Hazelrigg does from this point to get them out of their predicament just digs his grave that much deeper.
Spooky is not a term you often hear used to describe today's horror movies. This is not a horror movie that is going to make you jump out of your seat. This is not a horror movie that relies on gory kills. The characters with one exception are all adults, not dumb teenagers or horny college kids. Dark Night of the Scarecrow is the very antithesis of today's horror movies and could probably never be effectively remade because it would end up an I Know What You Did Last Summer clone with young people being slaughtered by a slasher dressed like a scarecrow instead of the "Twilight Zone"-ish campfire story ripe with subtlety, mood, atmosphere, and delicious irony.
The planting of the pitchfork in Bubba's dead hand is immediately followed by a sweeping, unearthly wind that blows through as the four killers stand silently before the dead man crucified in scarecrow garb; this few seconds of eerie calm does more to establish a true sense of something ominous to come than all the basement dank in every Saw movie combined. Moments like that are the reason this little TV movie from 1981 that had fallen into the cracks of obscurity still holds up today and will continue to hold up for years to come even as most of today's disposable horror movies fade into their own deserved obscurity. If you've never seen Dark Night of the Scarecrow, you owe it to yourself to seek out this spooky masterpiece.
VCI Entertainment have done us all a favor by releasing a digitally restored print of Dark Night of the Scarecrow so that this wonderful film can be rediscovered. VCI even dug up the original CBS Network World Premiere Promo that aired right before the October 24, 1981 premiere broadcast.
The only other extra on the DVD is a bit of a mixed bag from my perspective. Writer J.D. Feigelson and director Frank De Felitta team up for a commentary track that too often boils down to Feigelson laying out the intent of a particular scene before deferring to De Felitta, who responds with a short answer affirmative. De Felitta is somewhere in the neighborhood of 90 years old, and it would appear he needed to be led at times. Between that and the infrequent long pauses, I found the commentary a tad on the dry side. Though there are some interesting nuggets of information such as Charles Durning's initial reluctance to take the Hazelrigg role because he wasn't keen on playing a character with no redeeming values and a brief debate as to whether or not Dark Night of the Scarecrow is the first movie to feature someone falling victim to a woodchipper.

This, I think, marks the end of doctor/patient confidentiality; and I seriously wonder as to the integrity of attorney/client privilege.
Whoever pays them employs them. That's the way it's been since they used to make house calls in the 1950's.
I was even discussing the confessional with my parents.
What if the priest is carrying a phone with him.
He may be unwittingly allowing "others" to listen in without knowing it.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've arrived at a point where the government has violated The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. No Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Since the government has no Constitutional right to seizure of our personal information, it has no right to act on the basis of information gained unlawfully.
Following the Constitution used to be engrained in American Citizens, such that they would do things in accord therewith as a matter of course. Going forward, this will be coerced and acquiesced to, as the GOP has acquiesced to their subservient, unable-to-impeach status.
Physicians are hereby ripped from their previous relationships of confidentiality and following the Constitution and turned into Constitution-abusing snitches, doing great harm to their patients. They should rebel, which of course under the NDAA will be considered a "belligerent act" (See belligerentact.org).
Or are We the People going to do something about it?
A person still has a right to refuse any medical treatment that they want. My plan is to stand on that right along with the 5th amendment right.
I started this years ago. When they ask me to step on the scales, I just look them straight in the eye, smile, and say no thank you, I'll pass on that.
It won't matter after Obamacare.
Ronald Reagan nailed it perfectly when he shared this observation. You cant socialize the doctors without socializing the patients.
