My friend of 9 years... I really like him.
But he has agitlfriend. I think I've always liked him since we were 17... But it wasn't ment to be. I guess but I really like him and I think he does too but
I'm scared of asking and plus I'm dumb because he already has a girl but I can't help these feelings.. only good thing is I'll be getting shipped out soon and that should help. Right
Most Helpful Girl
My boyfriend has a best female friend he's super close to her he probably gets along with her better, has more fun with her than he does with me.. They are best friends for a reason. They went to a vacation together for her bday, he cares about her very much.
In the beginning of our relationship I asked him if he were never attracted to her romantically because I never had a guy best friend guys I liked a lot as friends eventually developed feelings for me so that concept just never convinced me.
He says he sees her as one of his 'dudes' and he never sees her like that. He says if something significant happens between them where that changes his perspective of her, he might be, but he doubt that.
And he was telling me if he ever attracted to her like that just because he likes her very much (as friends) and just because they get along great, that means he would have attracted to his guy friends the same way and ended up gay himself lol
and he says that he doesn't want to lose her friendship anyways by risking it like that.
He has a girl friend. Means he's attracted to someone else and having his romantic relationship with her. If he were seeing you more than just friend then you would have been his girlfriend not his friend.
Just be supportive. Keep your relationship with him as it is. Who knows things turn out bad between him and his current girlfriend and maybe he will find something in you in the future. Don't do any stupid things and ruin what you already have with him. And it's not right to touch a guy who has a girlfriend anyways.
Meanwhile, try to go out on dates with other guys. Don't kill yourself over this guy. Maybe you will find your right guy out there. Good luck.11|00|0
Thank you (:
This is actually perfect!
Cause I'm the girl who has guy friends and none have ever been romantic nor has the guy tried anything, except for this one who all of a sudden I'm attracted too. thank you for your advice (:

The row over the extradition of the NatWest Three intensified on Friday when a government minister accused the bankers involved of using a highly skilled public relations campaign to win over the public.
Baroness Scotland, who flew to Washington yesterday in an attempt to persuade the US to sign the 2003 extradition treaty at the centre of the controversy, said: "The defence has conducted one of the best PR campaigns ever seen."
She added that the case of David Bermingham, Gary Mulgrew and Giles Darby had involved a "frenzy of misunderstanding and distortion" perpetuated by the press, while it had also damaged the "special relationship" between the UK and US.
Before setting off for the US, the home office minister insisted those opposing the treaty had based their views on "myths". "There see...

Take Photo widget is not working on IOSAsked by RocioCorrea on October 13, 2016 at 10:35 AM
Tenemos una falla al intentar realizar el formulario. No lo permite. Anexo fotografia de la incidencia. Agradecere tu pronta respuesta ya que tenemos detenida la operacion.
JotForm Support
If you are using the take photo widget, this widget requires a secure connection to use. Try changing the URL used to access the form from http to https and the widget should work properly once again.
Instead of:
Thus we have been using, but this error is with all forms that include the option to "Take a photo". And including the "https"
We include the "https" in all our forms. Even we were already occupying that link anterirores days and until today the problem occurred.
JotForm Support
This looks to be specific to mobile. There have been a few other reports that the widget is no longer working. I will forward this to our developers to have a look. We will let you know via this thread as soon as this has been fixed.
ok, so... when we might have a solution to this issue? I ocuppy much this widget, an alternative?
JotForm Support
The alternative for now would be to add a file upload field to the form. You would have users take the photos on their phone first then upload the already taken photo through the file upload field. This should hopefully be resolved soon.
JotForm Support
Hi we apologize about this, unfortunately iOS does not support any webcam interface to support the widget. This is a mistake. The widget normally provides a classic file uploader to handle files.
We are currently looking for an alternative to make this work with iOS devices. Again we're sorry about this. Please try it again and let us know if you still facing the same issue.

This recipe makes the best crispy roasted potatoes we have ever had. Usually roasted potatoes are somewhat mushy and are not crispy at all. These potatoes are as crispy as french fries on the outside and soft in the middle.
The idea for these Banana Split Pancakes came from a request to try BananaWave BananaMilk. These pancakes are like having a banana split for breakfast, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Ethan made this quick video for his mother to show her how easy it is to make Roasted Brussels Sprouts.
Our Spinach Artichoke Ring was inspired by our friend Dianne's Vegetable Crescent Roll Ring. Refrigerated crescent roll dough gets filled with a creamy spinach artichoke dip and baked for an appetizer that combines the crackers and dip into one.
These Korean BBQ Soy Curls were inspired by our move back to New York City after fleeing New Jersey.
Early last fall, our good friends Nick & Liz friends had heard about the Beyond Burger from Beyond Meat and were very curious to try it. Having tried the Impossible Burger, they wanted to see how the Beyond Burger compared. We happily told them to come over for a Burger Brunch. This coincided with their needing a dog sitter to watch their sweet little Sandy while they went away for the night. As Sandy is one of the few dogs that our Riley likes, we were more than happy to host her for the night. With that all settled, Ethan and I needed to figure out what to serve with the burgers. In stead of making French Fries, I thought potato chips would be a better a idea. Sure, we could have just run to the grocery store and picked up a bag of any one of a wide variety of chips,

I am Raven Jiang, an undergrad majoring in Computer Science at Stanford University.
My favourite pastime is thinking about digital technology and the way in which it guides human behavior. Some recent topics I find interesting include: copyright reform, Internet censorship, increasing wealth disparity as a result of technology, liberation technology, Bitcoin, gender and racial equality, online education, and political fragmentation.
I used to run Ramblings of DarkMirage, a blog on Japanese pop culture, back in secondary school. This was around the time BitTorrent and WordPress came into existence and inevitably shaped my teens.
In my opinion, we are all products of our time whether we obey it, fight it, or ignore it. By understanding the era we live in, we see where we stand in the bigger picture.
Technology is a force of evolution that exerts selective pressure on our behavior, psychology, and physiology. This can be some as mundane as our odd habit of constantly swiping our thumbs over a piece of rectangular glass, or it can come in much more visceral forms, such as performance enhancing cybernetic augmentation.
When Google Glass becomes Google Lens, will privacy survive as a concept? As digital copyright enforcement becomes granular and instantaneous, will every act of expression require micro-payments? When our brains are eventually wired directly to the network, will we still be human? These are the questions through which I parse the growth of technology.

Justin Bieber Takes DNA Test
November 22, 2011 by staff
Justin Bieber Takes DNA Test, Justin Bieber has reportedly taken a DNA test, to disprove Mariah Yeater's claims that he's the father of her baby boy. TMZ reports the 17-year-old singer took the test on Friday night in New Jersey, and it's now up to Yeater to provide DNA results for her son.
Yeater, 20, claims she and Bieber had a sexual encounter following one of his concerts last fall. Her paternity lawsuit against the "Baby" singer was withdrawn earlier this month, and an attorney for the 20-year-old said they were trying to settle the matter out of court with Bieber's camp.
TMZ reported last week that the singer is still considering legal action against Yeater and her lawyers, even though her lawsuit was dropped.
His spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, told the website, "We intend to still hold them accountable."

- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Providers & Services industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 175.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $2.13 million to -$1.61 million.
- The gross profit margin for PDI INC is rather low; currently it is at 16.98%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -4.91% trails that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$6.46 million or 628.88% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- The share price of PDI INC has not done very well: it is down 13.40% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- PDI INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PDI INC continued to lose money by earning -$0.31 versus -$1.75 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 32.3% in earnings (-$0.41 versus -$0.31).

About a 2hr drive. An neither of us drive. So we text not everyday but pretty near. he's in the process of moving an said that after the move an what his work schedule is will dictate when we meet. Which is fine. But i have so many questions about meeting an when an what to do. So cuz neither of us drive i most likely will take a train. But do i get a hotel cuz that's pricey or stay at his place? Now we have learned deep things during our convos. I am attracted to him an him to me. So how soon is too soon to have sex? Do i go for the wknd or just a night or should i go at all? Lastly. He deleted his profile from the site me met on. Should i take that as a red flag?

Concrete slab foundations serve as the base of many structures, including homes, commercial buildings and storage buildings. As structures settle or shift from ground disturbances, the foundation slab may sometimes crack. This can be something minor that simply needs filling in or something major that needs the assistance of a contractor. It is best to find out which type of damage you have before proceeding. If a contractor tells you that it isn't a major concern, consider repairing it yourself and saving some money.
Things You'll Need
- Epoxy concrete sealer kit and applicator
- Scrub brush
- Water
- Water hose
Locate the crack in the foundation. Scrub the area with water and a scrub brush to loosen particles, then rinse out the crack with a water hose. This will ensure no small, loose pieces are inside. Allow the area to dry completely.
Place injection ports over the crack. Use the epoxy paste that comes with the kit to secure them to the floor. Space them based on the floor thickness. If the thickness is 12 inches, space the ports 12 inches apart.
Spread the epoxy adhesive that comes in the kit over the crack and around the base of the ports to seal the crack shut. This will keep the injection material from coming back out and force it to work its way down into the crack. Wait 45 minutes for the epoxy to dry.
Inject the material into a port at one end of the floor crack. Inject the substance until it starts to come out of the next port. At this point, insert a cap into the first port and move on to the next one. Keep doing this until you finish the last port. Allow to dry for two days.
Tap the ports with a hammer to detach them from the floor.
Chip the surface seal off with a chisel if you don't care for the look.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Steve ensured that everything was in place for us.
A good get away from the hustle and a comfortable stay.
Thanks Steve.
We had such a great stay! We actually used this place to stay for Derby. It was about an hour drive but wasn't overpriced. We didn't mind the drive at all because we knew what we were coming back to. Great place for a rainy day with fire burning fireplace, tin for the rain to bounce off of, a covered front and back porch and lots of extra blankets. We finally got a sunny day on the day we were checking out. The grounds were beautiful either way! Thanks again.
Great layout of the house, where everyone can crash upstairs and have fun downstairs. Everything is in great shape, lots of fun stuff to do. Would definitely come back again!
We had a big group stay and there was plenty of room! We enjoyed using the properties features like the bonfire, games, grill and the Polaris! It is a beautiful place and if ever in Kentucky we will be back here for sure!
We enjoyed our stay at the Rustic Lodge in the middle of bourbon country. Everything was clean and neat with plenty of space for our extended family. The property is beautiful, and we enjoyed seeing the bison roam the fields and the birds eat at the bird feeders. The location was perfect for us to explore area distilleries. We would recommend this property for a visit to this area of Kentucky.
Spent three days with friends at Kings Ranch. The home is very nicely done and well appointed. Located close to Bardstown and very convenient to the Bourbon Trail. The property is magnificent, lots of hiking trails. Our group spent the evenings on the back porch watching deer close in and on the distant hills as well as buffalo in the pasture next door. Many thanks for a great stay.
Our lodge is located at the middle of the BourbonTrail -just 5 min off BG pkwy at hwy 555 (exit 42). Bardstown is 15 min west and Lawrenceburg/ Versailles just 25 min to the east. The quaint historical towns of Springfield and Bloomfield are 10 min away. Check-in time is 4pm. check-out is noon.

Demi Lovato Bouquet
November 14, 2011 by staff
Demi Lovato Bouquet, Demi Lovato has just had a flight scare recently. On Sunday, November 13, the 19-year-old songstress shared to her Twitter followers that she has just got off a flight "where the flight attendant said he was glad we landed and was scared that weren't going to."
The former "Sonny with a Chance" star's tweet, which was closed with the hashtag #lovely, prompted a fan by the username of xcadaverx to ask her the reason why. In her response, she explained, "they couldn't land it because of crazy wind/turbulence!!!"
Just hours earlier, the "Skyscraper" singer tweeted about Tiffany Thornton's wedding to Christopher Carney. She first congratulated the newlyweds by writing, "Had such an amazing day…. Congrats to the new Mr. And Mrs. Chris Carney," before revealing, "Ps…. Guess who caught the bouquet…… ME!!!!! "
Demi starred opposite Tiffany on "Sonny" from 2009 to 2011. After the sitcom was canceled in early 2011 following Demi's exit, Tiffany stars in its spin-off, "So Random!". At Tiffany's Saturday, November 12 nuptials, the "Camp Rock" star served as one of her bridesmaids while her rumored boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama took the role as a groomsman.
Wilmer, who was recently snapped kissing Demi in front of his house, revealed his involvement on his Twitter account. "Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Carney, honor to be groomsman..," so he tweeted. "What a memorable evening for all of us.. #LoveWinsAboveAll."

Adelaide star forward Josh Jenkins says the death of former coach Phil Walsh influenced his decision to extend his AFL contract.
Jenkins ended months of speculation about his future on Thursday, signing a five-year contract extension to keep him with the Crows until at least the end of 2021.
The 27-year-old has been in career-best form this year, leading the Crows' goal-kicking with 44 majors and averaging 5.7 marks per game.
His contract had been due to expire at the end of the year, with Brisbane reported to be among the clubs pitching lucrative offers for his services.
Jenkins said the decision to stay with the second-placed Crows had been helped by the side's strong performance this season.
He also highlighted the tight bond formed between teammates following last year's shock death of Walsh.
"I mentioned from the very start that I was keen to stay in Adelaide. I always had that intention," Jenkins told the Crows' website.
"We're all here for success. The reason I've been more than happy to commit for so long is because I don't think we're far away from that.
"With the demographic of the group, what we've been through and how we've become so close, and with the team playing such good football, I think we can sustain that."
Coach Don Pyke said Jenkins had developed into a strong leader on and off the field with an exemplary work ethic.
"We are rapt Josh has decided to stay as his form and progress this season has been fantastic," Pyke said.
"He provides real flexibility and balance to our line-up, can play minutes in the ruck and is always keen to learn and improve his game."
Jenkins, a late bloomer who made his AFL debut aged 23, was drafted by Essendon but traded to Adelaide in 2011 before playing a game.
The Victorian native said he was happily settled with his long-term partner in Adelaide and confident of playing well into his 30s.

Have a look at EffectWidgetReplacingPipe.UnionHandler: production of "wi:union" is written in the template generator. Having start/endSAXFragment allows to move this to the widget itself. Of course, this isn't totally equivalent to today's generateSAXFragment, since in the case of container widgets it iterates recursively on its children.

Oh Hampi, how I love thee. When we travelled to Hampi, I had already fallen in love with India and to be honest — was a little apprehensive about how the North would differ to the South. There are so many different opinions floating about as to which section of this vast country is better, and why, so I became a little pressured by it all.
Hampi is a handy travelling segway from where I started my trip, in deepest darkest South India (Kerala) to Goa, and then Mumbai. So it is, for sure, still in the South but is located more centrally in the state of Karnataka. We travelled by bus, and, it felt like, in time to an ancient city of ruins with two distinct sides. The bazaar, and 'the other side of the river'…….which in traveller terms, was kind of mythical.
To get to the 'other side' you could probably wade through the ankle deep water for 20 metres but in actuality you grab a small (and insanely packed) boat across. All of which costs you about 10 pence. Once there, you can cycle around the beautiful rice fields and enjoy some of the great hostels located on the river. Actually, we stayed in the Bazaar the whole time, but I'd definitely recommend a night or two across the way. If only to enjoy a breakfast of Chai and Jalebi whilst enjoying the views of Lakshmi the elephant having her morning bath!
The Bazaar is the heart of Hampi. From here you can enjoy one of the many bars, restaurants and Holy Sadhu's (a common bunch of scammers FYI) and the Virupaksha temple, where monkeys gather daily, and are fed by the monks! The star of the show is obviously the UNESCO World Heritage site ruins, which are genuinely a little bit breathtaking. This being India, things are pretty casual and you have access to things that you probably shouldn't but that just adds to the adventure!
Okay, enough chat now. I'm sure I have convinced you to hit Hampi up asap. Here is my Photo of the Week: me looking pensive after a frankly perilous cycle ride through the ruins………

Charlie Rangel is a new man on the campaign trail – energetic and everywhere as he pursues one last run for Congress. Tuesday's vote will tell if it's enough to overcome an image of a once-censured, tired, Capitol Hill insider.
Sen. Thad Cochran is facing a tight runoff Tuesday in the Republican primary with the tea party-backed Chris McDaniel. Looking for an edge, he's appealing to African-American voters. It's a tactic that has raised eyebrows.
Powerful Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel (D) is facing a tough primary challenge, but no one's talking about a Democratic insurgency. It's just politics as usual.
Facing six tea party challengers, two-term Sen. Lindsey Graham is unapologetic about his differences with conservatives over issues such as immigration reform.
The pacification of the tea party movement had settled into conventional wisdom in the 2014 campaign season. An outsize victory by unknown David Brat over Rep. Eric Cantor, the No. 2 House Republican, upends that view.
A better test of California's two big political reforms – an 'open' primary system and citizen-led redistricting – will come in November. But Tuesday's primaries yielded more competitive races and more candidates seeking middle ground, reformers say.
Joni Ernest won the Republican primary for US Senate in Iowa and now has a chance to take a Democratic-held seat. With viral Internet ads, a compelling story, and good shooting aim, she's united the tea party and GOP establishment behind her.
Republican Neel Kashkari, a supporter of abortion rights and gay marriage, is given little chance against Gov. Jerry Brown in November. But he could have a big impact on the California GOP's future.
Tea party Republican Chris McDaniel barely leads Sen. Thad Cochran in the Mississippi primary, with the race perhaps heading to a June 24 runoff. If Mr. McDaniel wins, Democrats hope he could implode like other tea party candidates have.
Monica Wehby is strongly positioned to challenge Sen. Jeff Merkley (D) of Oregon. But her story as a moderate Republican and physician has been interrupted by reports about personal relationships.
Political newcomer David Perdue was top vote-getter in Tuesday's GOP primary for the US Senate seat in Georgia. Neither he nor Rep. Jack Kingston, who also advances to the July 22 runoff, is an insurgent Republican.
Sen. Mitch McConnell easily vanquished his tea party challenger in Tuesday's primary, but the general election in November promises a sterner test. The big question: Who is Alison Grimes?
Sen. Mitch McConnell is poised to defeat a tea party opponent in Kentucky's Senate primary on Tuesday, but Democrats still enjoy a registration advantage in the fall general election.
In their campaign to succeed retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Georgia Republicans have traded heavy blows that could be costly come fall. But Democrats still face an enthusiasm gap.
Tea party favorite Matt Bevin is challenging Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in the Kentucky Republican primary election next week. Here's how he thinks he can beat the powerful incumbent.
In a handful of states, including Georgia, Democratic Senate candidates are counting on black voters to turn out big time to help them win. But signs are that enthusiasm for Democrats has been slipping among African-Americans.
Kentucky residents say Obamacare needs fixing, but they also find things to like about the state's exchange, kynect. That means the health care law may not be the spear tip that GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell, up for reelection, had hoped.
If Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell were to be defeated in November, it would hardly be the first time that one of Washington's mighty had fallen. Here's three congressional leaders who lost.
Tea party candidates might not even make it to a runoff in the GOP contest for an open US Senate seat in Georgia. Key reasons: limited war chests and opposition from establishment Republicans.
Ben Sasse, winner of the GOP Senate primary in Nebraska, has heavyweight backing from tea party groups – and he gives the insurgent wing an important victory. But he talks more like a uniter than a member of a rebel cause.

We enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage so close to downtown and the beach! The pool was really enjoyable during a 90 degree day! Quiet & comfortable for my daughter & I to spend a Mother/Daughter weekend. Taking the trolley to Perkins Cove was so much fun! There were 7 weddings that Saturday, and we were able to see one of the bridal parties getting their pictures taken on the Marginal Way as well as later as they went past in their rented trolley car, waving at all the well wishers! Great time in Maine!
This was our forth year staying at Jen's cottage and again it was absolutely wonderful! It's nice to pull in and see the same neighbors in the adjacent cottages, they came out to say hello and welcome us back. We know them by name (even Charlie the dog) and they are just amazing people! Our family expanded this year, so there was 4 of us and there was still plenty of room in the cottage for sleeping quarters. The boys loved the pool and spent many hours swimming the day away. We took the trolley to the beach, Perkins Cove for a lobster boat tour, did the transfer to York for some Zoo time, and Foot Bridge Beach for some fishing. There's never a lack of things to do in the area!
Thanks again Jen for sharing your cozy cottage with us :) See ya again next year!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage. Everything we wanted to do or see was within a few minutes from there. The surroundings were neat as a pin, the pool immaculate, and the cottage was perfect for the two of us. Owner Jennifer was extremely helpful, and available by phone to answer any questions we had. This was a quiet relaxing vacation that we'd love to do again.
I can't say enough about what a delightful place this is, the cottage was quaint and charmingly decorated with a touch of the sea. We had a wonderful time, it was close to the trolley stop, there was lots of shopping close by, the beach was a shot ways away, great dining, & relaxing by the pool. Our neighbors were welcoming & pleasant. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet Jen but would like to say thank you for a providing such a lovely place to stay. My eight year old said "I want to make this a tradition and come back every year and when I'm older I want to bring my kids here"
Would highly recommend staying in this cozy cottage, very comfortable, one bedroom with a closet ! Front porch area with futon and table and chairs, kept the windows open had a nice breeze . The pool area was fantastic, nice grounds with picnic tables, restaurants nearby, and easy walking to Footbridge Beach or take the Trolley. Loved our vacation!
Would love to return to this place! Thank you Jennifer, you were wonderful!
Went this summer and when we arrived all the garbage from the past owner was still inside, a lot of dirt and sand was on the floor.. not too neat and clean. Plus at the end of the trip I realized that my kids forgot 2 pairs of google which the owner confirmed to have found. I asked her many times by phone to mail it to me and she didnt botter to call back and when I reached her for the 4th time, she told me she didnt want to invest the 7$-8$ that it would cost to mail it to me when I mentioned that my kids were very sad to have forgotten them. Wouldnt have been a big deal, right ? I think she'd rather have a bad review instead of a nice comment of gratefullness to show to other customers !!!

The model number is definitely RE646ED-1. The Type is 3S1, not 351 as I originally said. The Serial number is as noted above.
It is possible the stove is more than 20 years old, I suppose. I think I'll just leave it as is and do the best I can with other means. Thanks for trying. And I suppose I'll just consider it an expense attempt.....

This is the best thing I've seen all week. Thank God for people like Tom Cotton who stand up and speak the truth! God bless this American Hero!
From CSPAN
Senator Tom Cotton on Senator Harry Reid: "As a junior Senator I preside over the Senate, I usually do it in the morning, which means I am forced to listen to the bitter vulgar incoherent ramblings of the Minority Leader. Normally, like every other American, I ignore them. I can't ignore them today, however." He also says, ""The happy byproduct of fewer days in session in the Senate is that this institution will be cursed less with his cancerous leadership."

'Lost:' Should Mr. Eko come back for the final season?
- August
- 14
Lost-philes have been buzzing all summer about the dead (or possibly dead) island castaways we'll see returning in some form to the island next season.
Daniel, Juliet, Charlie, Claire, Boone and Shannon are either confirmed or all but confirmed for a comeback.
While making the rounds to promote "G.I. Joe," actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has also been pretty vocal about wanting to make another appearance on "Lost."
He asked to be written off the show in Season 3, which didn't exactly make the producers happy.
The doors might have opened for him again, though, since lots of his former co-stars appear to now be headed back. He gives hope to Eko fans wanting to see more, telling Entertainment Weekly:

We have had talks about some things they might do for the final season and there are other dead folks coming back allegedly but at the moment it is still a maybe. A strong maybe but I have not shot anything yet or signed any contracts. But I'm hoping.

So what do you think? Would you want to see more Eko?
In fact, which castaway are you MOST looking forward to seeing again?

Anyone who operates a Porsche knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. When your Porsche 356B rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who values the tip of the spear in sport in their automobile. You picked your 356B because its German engineering and unrivaled handling struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
Don't gamble with you and your passengers' safety; each component should be inspected for functionality and replaced if necessary. Perhaps the most important safety parts on your Porsche 356B are your headlights. It is impossible to drive at night without your Porsche 356B headlights. If you happen to notice one of your headlight bulbs not projecting light forward from your vehicle when you turn it on at night, it should definitely be inspected and replaced if necessary. And if your car or truck is ever in a front end collision, new headlights should be installed because of potential damage.
Bring your 356B back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Headlight bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts.

When it comes to Porsche 356B Headlight parts, you can find them for 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Can I export to spreadsheet and view payment confirmations?Asked by Janet Loos on March 09, 2015 at 12:47 PM
I work for a company that hasn't liked the professional version of wufoo forms. I've used jotform for my company and have loved it (I've only used the free version). Before we switch over, I need to know if we can export entry data to a spreadsheet and if that spreadsheet would show if payments went through or not. (Right now, we have to sign into wufoo, and click on each individual entry to check if paypal entries went through and it has been quite the hassle for us).
JotForm Support
Hello Janet,
Please be noted that the data will be visible in your form's submission page only when the PayPal payment goes through successfully. If the payment was not successful then the submission will be listed separately in "Incomplete Payment" section.
The submission will only be listed in your form's submission page if the payment was successful or you manually complete the payments.
Please be noted that if the payment was successful, the submission data will display the "Payer Info" and "Payer Address" separately. I believe that should be the key for you to figure out if the PayPal submission was successful or not and it will also display you the "Transaction ID" as well. The excel file should display the submissions as shown in the screenshot below:
Hope this answers your query
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!

I can still feel the softness of my baby on my body! I've just now come and sat at my laptop to write this article – after cozying her into sleep. I nursed her first and then carried her in both my arms with her body close to my chest and my face touching hers. She likes my cheeks against hers. And, I relish her feel. That feeling of holding your baby so close – so very close that you can melt into her warmth and softness, this emotion is beyond the realm of words and expression. Yet, you know what I'm saying…
Some days she likes to sleep by being carried in my arms, other times she just wants me to tuck her into the bed while I sit close or lay near her. There are no rules out here. But, mostly, she loves my touch, the warmth of my voice ("mamma is here" or a song or mantra) as she drifts into sleep.
Having experienced such close contact with my babies – first Pari and now Sufiana, I can't fathom how babies feel and thrive when they are carried in those container-like things – those basket-like hand-held carriers dangling at knee level. Or, babies snapped into a stroller, almost completely draped with a blanket, being pushed around in isolation. No contact, no touch, no interaction. My heart really shrinks at such sights.
On the other hand, a baby in arms or in a sling/carrier – snuggled with the mother – the mother nursing the baby or talking to him/her, the baby feeling secure due to the touch, the warmth – I resonate with that.
So, this blog post today is unique. Because, this topic is close to my heart. And, there's something for you and your baby to win. There's a giveaway! A ring sling for all you mammas and papas (and, would-be parents) from the beautiful mamma of two – Chinmayie of Soul Ring Slings. It's a worldwide giveaway. So, don't hesitate to enter – no matter which part of the world you live in.
Carrying my baby – in arms or in the sling is beautiful and beneficial in so many ways – for my baby's emotional needs, health, learning. We have no stroller or any other carry-device. I think a stroller not only isolates my baby and hinders communication and touch between her and me, it's also inconvenient and impractical – specially here in Goa with beaches where-ever you go. A stroller can't be pushed around on sand; one has to end up lifting it from point A to B. Even in crowded streets and places where there are steps or pavements, I feel it's hard to maneuver the stroller. A ring sling or a baby carrier, in comparison, can be a boon when outdoors.
There are so many benefits to carrying your baby up and close – in arms, in sling or a carrier. I've been researching a on this topic and felt like I must share in this blog post, some of the key points.
The miracle of touch!
A baby who's in close contact with the mother will be more content, happy and alert; will sleep better and grow well. Of all the senses that infants experience, the sense of touch is the most profound. The warmth of the mother's skin helps regulate their body temperature, their heart rate, breathing, their overall sense of well-being. So much so that preemies (babies that are not full term) or full term babies who are underweight can gain health and vigour by being round-the-clock with their mother in skin-to-skin contact or Kangaroo Mother Care. There is no separation of the mother and her baby.
The Next Nine Months!
Babies need and want to be touched, held, snuggled for a long, long time after their birth. It's said that the nine months that the babies live inside the womb is not long enough for their gestation to be complete. They take birth because they have to – due to the large size of their heads. But, the gestation continues for the next nine months after the baby is born. Their growth and brain development happens if womb-like warmth is provided by keeping in affectionate touch (and loving communication) with the mother for the next nine months.
Encourages Exclusive Breastfeeding
It's been seen that mothers who carry their babies in arms, sling or carrier are more likely to nurse them often, interact with them and involve them in their daily activities. When the baby is close at heart – and at eye-level, the mother can take cues to nurse in a timely way. And, the baby doesn't need to cry it out to be able to communicate. Less gap between feedings will mean more fat content in the breast milk that the baby will get.
Baby-wearing (hmm…odd name!)
You might find it strange, but I didn't know, until recently, that carrying your baby in a carrier or sling is called Baby-wearing. Well, yes – the name baby wearing sounds odd to me because it conveys you WEAR your baby on yourself. Infact, I've read and heard many mothers talk this way, "I wear my baby…". Why would you "wear" your baby? Is she/he a piece of clothing, an accessory?
I wear the sling and carry my baby in it. Or, I hold my baby in it. Even, I snuggle my baby in it. I feel, we should use the words properly. For, words can shape our thoughts.
But then, even though the term baby-wearing sounds inappropriate, the intention and science behind carrying the baby in a sling or a carrier is based on sound research and study. (article by Dr. Sears)
Receiving The Soul Ring Sling
Hence, when Chinmayie of Soul Ring Slings contacted me recently to ask if I'd like a Ring Sling for my baby and then review it, I said yes.
And yet, I took a while to say yes.
For one, I hesitate to review products on my blog – that dilutes my focus and purpose of this blog. I've always put my energy and intention into sharing stories and learnings from my life – as an unschooling mother and as a life-long learner.
Secondly, I have a baby carrier from when Sufiana was two months old that she rejected again and again. I never got around to using it because she didn't want to be carried in it – even though it's the best that I've found here in India. It's ergonomic, made of soft cotton. But, Sufiana refused to stay in it. And, I retired it to the cupboard after a few trials. Hence, I wasn't sure if the Soul Ring Sling by Chinmayie would go down well with my baby.
Finally, Sufiana was already into her active crawling and standing stage when Chinmayie wrote to me. And, I was more comfortable carrying her in my arms – when indoors. It gave me the flexibility to pick her and leave her to play and explore independently more frequently and with ease, than a carrier would allow.
But after some thought I went ahead and said yes to Chinmayie. I thought I could try the sling option of carrying Sufiana when outdoors; specially at the beach. I love to take long walks on the beach but carrying her constantly in my arms or Avie's can be tiring and back-breaking.
I thought, if it would work for Sufiana and for me, reviewing the Soul Sling on my blog would open up options for other mothers and babies, especially in India – where we've had no ring slings so far in the market. So, I drew an exception to review this particular product.
Our Soul Ring Sling
As I received this gorgeous yellow ring sling in high quality fabric, I couldn't wait to carry Sufiana in it. I went through the manual and a video of how to wear it to carry your baby. And, off we headed for a long walk along the fields.
We were in for a joyful surprise.
The very first time Sufiana sat there – wrapped by the Soul Ring sling – taking in the beautiful sights and sounds as I walked briskly, pausing every once a while to show her something or the other, she was comfortable. She never once protested as she had done in the carrier. I walked along for 10 minutes. She was happy. Another 10 minutes passed. I was heading further and further along the fields. It was almost dark by then. But, both she and I were so happy, I couldn't stop. Good for us that Avie was with us so we could negotiate back home in the dark – the fireflies glowing in the paddy fields. I could walk that whole distance and back home – all by myself, without handing her over to the hubby, which we normally do when we carry her in our arms – I hold her for a while and then he takes over. We take turns.
But, with the ring sling, I could carry Sufiana the whole time with ease, while Avie walked with Pari. Pari was glad for the exclusive company of her father. And, Sufiana was happy in the sling – amused by the dangling fabric on my right side and the ring on my shoulder!
After that evening walk by the fields, I've carried her in the ring sling when walking on the beach mostly. The soul ring sling has made our beach walks much more relaxing. I must add that, before i put Sufiana in the sling, we spend ample time playing with her in the water. I never put her in the sling right away because that would deprive her from free play in the sand and in water.
At home, I still prefer to carry her in my arms because I feel that gives the freedom to her to move around a lot and come to me to be picked up when she wants. Carrying her in arms means that I can put her back on the floor (for play) more frequently.
Practical and Convenient When Indoors
If your baby is younger, the Soul Ring Sling can be a great help indoors too. You can carry your baby when doing chores; your baby can be a part of your day watching and learning from the real world, at the same time being in close contact with you. Let's face it, however much a mother may want to be with her baby for as long as possible, there are chores to be finished, meals to be cooked, other kids to attend to and care for. So, the ring sling helps you do both – you can be with your baby while you're going about your day.
Independent Play, Quiet Time and Physical Activity is Equally Important
As much as I recommend carrying babies in sling (for intimacy and convenience), I feel one need not (actually, must not) carry the baby for long hours. I feel that when my baby is happy and content, she should be given the freedom to be by herself exploring her environment at her own will and pace. Our babies are far more wise and intelligent and capable than we think them to be. They ought to get their own quiet time to relax, reflect and just be. They don't need to be continually stimulated by our adult world.
Also, babies need physical activity as much as we do. They need to stretch, curve, roll, raise their arms and feet to gaze at them, put their feet in the mouth. They want to lie down on their back and tummy. All this physical activity is excellent for their growth and development, including brain development. Hence, being strapped or wrapped for long is not ideal. Sufiana, for one, never wants to be carried for long – at home or outdoors. The moment she's at the beach, she wants to be in water!
Intimacy with Mother is Vital for Babies' Content
The fact is – for babies to be content and happy (so they enjoy their own quiet time and play independently), they must have received their intimate and quality time with the mother – her touch, talk, interaction, love, cuddles, nursing. A good ring sling can go a long way in ensuring all of this. And, the Soul Ring Sling, in my opinion and experience, can provide this experience to the mother and the baby.
The Soul Ring Slings come in a range of heart-warming colours. And the fabric they're made of is soft, breathable cotton linen, which is gentle on the baby's body. Check out Soul Sling's Pinterest page.
I've experienced that wearing the ring sling right is the key. Wear it wrong and you can end up with strained neck or shoulder and stiff back. So, check out the Soul Slings videos to see how you can wear your ring sling.
In the picture above, I'm carrying Sufiana in our yard. This was the first time I wore the sling. As some of you have figured out, I'm NOT wearing it right – the fabric on my right shoulder is gathered up rather than being spread out and down. So, though I didn't realise the strain then, I felt it later.
Now, for the Giveaway
Chinmayie has offered to give away this mint-coloured cotton sling from her latest Classic Cotton Linen Blend series. It's soft as cotton is and sturdy as a Linen. It's good to carry your infant or toddler. The fabric is soft, so you can adjust it easily and wear with ease no matter you're a beginner wearer or experienced.
This giveaway is open to all of you around the world – no matter where you live.
Chinmayie is also offering a flat 12% discount on any sling they you buy from her website. To avail the discount offer, use the coupon code 'MOMMYLABS12'.
The coupon will be valid starting today (Nov. 19), for a month.
How to Enter the Giveaway:
To enter the giveaway, I request you to leave a comment below sharing why you'd like to win this Soul Ring Sling. That's it.
But, hey. Wait! You can get a second entry – by sharing a story about your child – a story that highlights the bond between you and your child.
But, this is optional. Share if you'd like a second entry in your name. Share, even if you don't want to win the sling. Who wouldn't want to read such lovely stories of mammas and babies. I sure do!
The giveaway ends on November 28 – until midnight – any time zone.
Chinmayie is celebrating her son's first birthday today. Head over to Soul Slings facebook page to share your greetings and join the celebration.
Finally, what's your experience and learning with regard to carrying your baby – indoors and outdoors? Did you use a sling or a carrier or did you prefer any other way? Do share if you feel like. And, enter the giveaway to win for yourself or for a mother/father (because fathers want to carry their babies too) and baby you know, who might find it useful.

Please book your accommodation at the quiet off the beaten track retreat centre www.villa-amatista.com and call me or email me to find out when my next visit is.
Airport transfers are possible, and a unique detox package can be arranged.
