We stumbled across this fun find over at Think Geek. You won't need batteries or electricity to know the time any more. Here is a clock that is powered by water! It actually will work with any liquid, including beer or coffee.
The power of science and the beauty of engineering combine to form a sleek clock for the modern family. It is a great introduction to science for the kids and even has room for a flower.
At under $15 this Water Powered Clock is a great gift idea.
From Think Geek:
The Future is Available Today!
The water clock will display the time and date in clear easy to read numbers just moments after you fill the liquid reservoirs in the back with the liquid of your choice. We've had ours running for weeks so far and the water levels have barely descended and we haven't had to refill it at all.
The internal converter simply extracts electrons from water (or other liquid) molecules and provides a steady stream of electrical current acting as a fuel cell to generate power to the clock.
Attractively packaged with translucent blue siding and a mirrored front. You can even use the water reservoirs on the back to hold flowers! But guess what? Flowers aren't included! Neither are batteries! Neither is the water! Sad? Here, giving you the dimensions should make you happier: 6" x 4" x 2 1/2". Now buy one.

- Private Initial consultation
- Foundation Training
- Off Leash Training
- Behavioral Training
- Private Lessons
- In Kennel Training
- Individual Service Catered Specifically to Your Needs
There are three aspects to training: teaching a dog what something means, Habituating them to doing it, and transferring that sense of responsibility to the owner.
Training Program Overview
First, every dog or puppy must come in for an evaluation. The evaluation takes about an hour. We ascertain the temperament of the dog, discuss the goals that the owner has in mind, find out what kind of capabilities the owner has, and discuss any behavioral problems that are occurring. This time allows the owner to ask questions, make sure that he or she is comfortable with the process, and is willing and able to follow through with the training. We also discuss any safety issues or temperament problems that we find. Sometimes, a consultation is all that a person needs or wants. If so, we focus on the issues at hand. Some clients come in to discuss the suitability of a new dog, or even to discuss characteristics of different breeds before buying a dog. We try to maintain flexibility so that we can always meet the clients needs.
After the evaluation, we can proceed two different ways: we can train the owner and dog together in private lessons, or we can take the dog for in-kennel training. Private lessons are normally weekly, approximately 45 min in length, and can include multiple dogs within the household, and multiple family members. The advantages of this choice are that the owner gets to learn and be a part of the entire process. It can be a good way to build confidence with the dog. Also, the owner then has some basic skills to train the next puppy down the line him or herself.
The private lessons take longer to complete, it requires more work on the owner's part, and the results are largely a reflection of the owner's responsibility and commitment. In-kennel training, on the other hand, is faster and better if the owners are overloaded with commitments already. It is also the preferred way if the dog is stronger than the owner, or if the owner's capabilities are impaired in some way. If the animal is having an aggression problem, in-kennel training can provide the precise structure required to bring the dog around safely and quickly. In-kennel training is, however, more expensive. The owner comes to pick the dog up, then we have a session to transfer the training to the owner efficiently. It is then the owner's responsibility to maintain the training and stay alert to signs that extra help is needed. In-kennel training programs are either 2 or 4 weeks.

Puppy Problems and Prevention
Every new puppy owner has a thousand questions about how to raise their pup to be a confident, well-mannered dog. Vital information includes: stages of puppy development, techniques for teaching manners, housebreaking methods, and an understanding of dog mentality. If this is your first pup, or if you are thinking about getting one, call now for a consultation.
Obedience and Manners Training
Maximize the time you spend loving your dog by teaching it how to avoid the things that make you angry. Teaching your dog the rules of the house and the rules of society should be a top priority along with proper health care. The safety of your dog, and the sanity of your household depends on training. A dog's personality does not fully develop without training. It needs to be mentally challenged and to feel emotionally secure. Proper training fills both needs by giving the dog a purpose and a secure place within the family.
Behavioral Problems
Dogs can exhibit eleven different types of aggressive behavior and each has a different cause and cure. If the correct techniques are used, most of these patterns can be remedied with patience and determination. If your dog is signaling aggression, seek help immediately! Aggression issues generally become more pronounced over time, and not less. Growling, nipping, biting, staring, stalking, snarling and snapping are some behaviors that demand attention. Don't panic, don't procrastinate, call me for help.
Second Hand Dogs
We can erase the mistakes of the previous home with proper care and the correct balance between love and respect. The transition from the shelter or pound to the new family can be eased through awareness of the dog's individual needs. Learning techniques designed to assert control over your dog without intimidation is very important to establishing a lasting bond.
Rehabilitation of Abused Animals
An animal that has been rescued from an abusive or traumatic situation needs to be taught the confidence that it has been robbed of and it's sense of safety restored. Otherwise, it will not develop into a healthy, mentally stable pet. Sympathy is not enough, understanding and action are the key.
Phobias can be overcome in an abused animal. This greatly increases the confidence of the dog and it's quality of life. The dog can only regain confidence through the trust it has for it's owner. Ease the unnatural tension in the abused or phobic dog's life through skilled handling.

Hi,not really sure where to post this so I choose here,has anyone used the Marcela Sanchez gumpaste? What brand do you use for best results and where do you purchase it? Thanks for your help.
I use Wilton gumpaste that can be found at any craft store or Michaels that sells Wilton products. I love it.
I use the Nic Lodge recipe which is by far my favorite gumpaste. In a pinch I use fondant mixed with quite a bit of Tylose and find that it dries up just fine.
I use fondant mixed with Tylose. This has worked well for me for many years. If you live a dry area, then Nick Lodge's gumpaste works well.

Overview Edit
There are many significant privacy concerns and issues relating to the Smart Grid. Four dimensions of privacy are impacted by the Smart Grid, including:
- Personal information — any information relating to an individual, who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by that information and in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his or her physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural, locational or social identity. Privacy of personal information involves the right to control when, where, how, to whom, and to what extent an individual shares their own personal information, as well as the right to access personal information given to others, to correct it, and to ensure it is safeguarded and disposed of properly. Personal information within the Smart Grid includes, but is not be limited to, information that reveals details, either explicitly or implicitly, about a specific individual's or specific group's type of premises and energy use activities. This is expanded beyond the normal "individual" component because there could be negative privacy impacts for all individuals within one dwelling or building structure. This can include items such as energy use patterns, characteristics related to energy consumption through smart appliances, and other types of activities. The energy use pattern could be considered unique to a household or premises similar to how a fingerprint or DNA is unique to an individual. Personal information also includes energy use patterns that identify specific appliances or devices that may indicate a medical problem of a household member or visitor; the inappropriate use of an employer-issued device to an employee that is a household member or visitor; the use of a forbidden appliance in a rented household. Smart appliances and devices will create additional information that may reveal a significant amount of additional personal information about an individual, such as what food they eat, how much they exercise and detailed physical information. This would also become a privacy issue in a university, office setting, healthcare facility and so on.
- Personal privacy — the right to control the integrity of one's own body. It covers such things as physical requirements, health problems, and required medical devices.
- Behavioral privacy — the right of individuals to make their own choices about what they do and to keep certain personal behaviors from being shared with others.
- Personal communications privacy — the right to communicate without undue surveillance, monitoring, or censorship.
Most Smart Grid entities directly address the first dimension, because most data protection laws and regulations cover privacy of personal information. However, the other three dimensions are important privacy considerations as well; thus dimensions 2, 3, and 4 should also be considered in the Smart Grid context because new types of energy use data can be created and communicated. For instance, we can recognize unique electric signatures for consumer electronics and appliances and develop detailed, time-stamped activity reports within personal dwellings. Charging station information can detail whereabouts of an EV. This data did not exist before the application of Smart Grid technologies.[1]
When considering how existing laws may deal with privacy issues within the Smart Grid, and likewise the potential influence of other laws that explicitly apply to the Smart Grid, it is important to note that while Smart Grid privacy concerns may not be expressly addressed, existing laws and regulations may still be applicable. Nevertheless, the innovative technologies of the Smart Grid pose new issues for protecting consumers' privacy that will have to be tackled by law or by other means.
The Smart Grid will greatly expand the amount of data that can be monitored, collected, aggregated, and analyzed. This expanded information, particularly from energy consumers and other individuals, raises added privacy concerns. For example, specific appliances and generators can be identified from the signatures they exhibit in electric information at the meter when collections occur with great frequency as opposed to through traditional monthly meter readings. This more detailed information expands the possibility of intruding on consumers' and other individuals' privacy expectations.
General invasion of privacy concerns Edit
Two aspects of the Smart Grid may raise new privacy legal issues. First, the Smart Grid significantly expands the amount of data available in more granular form as related to the nature and frequency of energy consumption and creation, thereby opening up more opportunities for general invasion of privacy. Suddenly a much more detailed picture can be obtained about activities within a given dwelling, building, or other property, and the time patterns associated with those activities make it possible to detect the presence of specific types of energy consumption or generation equipment. Granular energy data may even indicate the number of individuals in a dwelling unit, which could also reveal when the dwelling is empty or is occupied by more people than usual. The public sharing of information about a specific location's energy use is also a distinct possibility. This raises the concern that persons other than those living within the dwelling but having access to energy data could likewise automate public sharing of private events without the dwellers' consent — a general invasion of privacy.
The concern exists that the prevalence of granular energy data could lead to actions on the part of law enforcement — possibly unlawful in themselves — and lead to an invasion of privacy, such as remote surveillance or inference of individual behavior within dwellings, that could be potentially harmful to the dwelling's residents.
Law enforcement agencies have already used monthly electricity consumption data in criminal investigations. For example, in Kyllo v. United States,[2] the government relied on monthly electrical utility records to develop its case against a suspected marijuana grower.[3] Government agents issued a subpoena to the suspect's utility to obtain energy usage records and then used a utility-prepared "guide for estimating appropriate power usage relative to square footage, type of heating and accessories, and the number of people who occupy the residence" to show that the suspect's power usage was "excessive" and thus "consistent with" a marijuana-growing operation.[4]
As Smart Grid technologies collect more detailed data about households, one concern is that law enforcement officials may become more interested in accessing that data for investigations or to develop cases. For instance, agencies may want to establish or confirm presence at an address at a certain critical time or even establish certain activities within the home — information that may be readily gleaned from Smart Grid data.
However, the Supreme Court in Kyllo clearly reaffirmed the heightened Fourth Amendment privacy interest in the home and noted this interest is not outweighed by technology that allows government agents to "see" into the suspect's home without actually entering the premises.[5] The Court stated,
|We think that obtaining by sense-enhancing technology any information regarding the interior of the home that could not otherwise have been obtained without physical intrusion into a constitutionally protected area, constitutes a search [and is] presumptively unreasonable without a warrant.[6]
Second, unlike the traditional energy grid, the Smart Grid may be viewed as carrying private and/or confidential electronic communications between utilities and end-users, possibly between utilities and third parties,[7] and between end-users and third parties.
Current law both protects private electronic communications and permits government access to real-time and stored communications, as well as communications transactional records, using a variety of legal processes.[8] Moreover, under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), telecommunications carriers and equipment manufacturers are required to design their systems to enable lawful access to communications.
The granular Smart Grid data may also have parallels to call detail records collected by telecommunications providers. It is unclear if laws that regulate government access to communications will also apply to the Smart Grid.
In short, the innovative technologies of the Smart Grid pose new legal issues for privacy of the home, as well as any type of property location that has traditionally received strong Fourth Amendment protection. As Justice Scalia wrote in Kyllo:
|The question we confront today is what limits there are upon this power of technology to shrink the realm of guaranteed privacy.[9]
New privacy concerns raised by the Smart Grid Edit
The ability to access, analyze, and respond to much more precise and detailed data from all levels of the power grid is critical to the major benefits of the Smart Grid — and it is also a significant concern from a privacy viewpoint, especially when this data and data extrapolations are associated with individual consumers or locations. Some articles in the public media have raised serious concerns[10] about the type and amount of billing, usage, appliance, and other related information flowing throughout the various components of the Smart Grid.
There are also concerns across multiple industries about data aggregation of "anonymized" data. For example, in other situations, associating pieces of anonymized data with other publicly available non-anonymous data sets has been shown by various studies to actually reveal specific individuals.[11] Frequent meter readings may provide a detailed timeline of activities occurring inside a metered location and could also lead to knowledge about specific equipment usage or other internal home/business processes.
- Potential Privacy Impacts that Arise from the Collection and Use of Smart Grid Data
Smart meter data raises potential surveillance possibilities posing physical, financial, and reputational risks. Because smart meters collect energy usage data at much shorter time intervals than in the past (in 15-minute or sub-15-minute intervals rather than once a month), the information they collect can reveal much more detailed information about the activities within a dwelling or other premises than was available in the past. This is because smart meter data provides information about the usage patterns for individual appliances — which in turn can reveal detailed information about activities within a premise through the use of non-intrusive appliance load monitoring (NALM) techniques.[12]
Using NALM, appliances' energy usage profiles can be compared to libraries of known patterns and matched to identify individual appliances.[13] For example, research shows that analyzing 15-minute interval aggregate household energy consumption data can by itself pinpoint the use of most major home appliances.[14]
NALM techniques have many beneficial uses, including pinpointing loads for purposes of load balancing or increasing energy efficiency. However, such detailed information about appliance use can also reveal whether a building is occupied or vacant, show residency patterns over time, and reflect intimate details of people's lives and their habits and preferences inside their homes.[15]
In 1989, George W. Hart, one of the inventors of NALM, explained the surveillance potential of the technique.[16] As the time intervals between smart meter data collection points decreases, appliance use will be inferable from overall utility usage data and other Smart Grid data with even greater accuracy.
In general, more data, and more detailed data, may be collected, generated, and aggregated through Smart Grid operations than previously collected through monthly meter readings and distribution grid operations. In addition to utilities, new entities may also seek to collect, access, and use smart meter data (e.g., vendors creating applications and services specifically for smart appliances, smart meters, and other building-based solutions). Further, once uniquely identifiable "smart" appliances are in use, they will communicate even more specific information directly to utilities, consumers, and other entities, thus adding to the detailed picture of activity within a premise that NALM can provide.
The proliferation of smart appliances, utility devices, and devices from other entities throughout the Smart Grid, on both sides of the meter, means an increase in the number of devices that may generate data. The privacy risks presented by these smart appliances and devices on the consumer side of the meter are expanded when these appliances and devices transmit data outside of the home area network (HAN) or energy management system (EMS) and do not have documented security requirements, effectively extending the perimeter of the system beyond the walls of the premises.
Data may also be collected from plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). Charging data may be used to track the travel times and locations for the PEV owners.
Privacy impact assessment Edit
The Privacy Sub-Group of the Cyber Security Coordination Task Group (now called the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel–Cyber Security Working Group (SGIP-CSWG)), which is responsible for addressing privacy on the Smart Grid, particularly in the area of consumer-to-utility information exchanges, has issued a high-level privacy impact assessment (PIA).
- the privacy implications of the Smart Grid are not fully understood
- there is a lack of formal privacy policies, standards or procedures by entities who are involved in the Smart Grid and collect information
- comprehensive and consistent definitions of personally identifiable information do not generally exist in the utility industry
- distributed energy resources and smart meters will reveal information about residential customers and activities within the house
- roaming Smart Grid devices, such as electric vehicles recharging at a friend's house, could create additional personal information
- smart meters and the Smart Grid network will be able to use personal information in unlimited numbers of ways
- despite the 2000 resolution adopted by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners urging the adoption of privacy principles, few state level utility commissions have begun to assess privacy and the Smart Grid
- future research is necessary and conducting further PIAs is critical.
Privacy concerns arise when there is a possibility of discovering personally identifiable information (PII) such as the personal habits, behaviors and lifestyles of individuals inside dwellings, and to use this information for secondary purposes, other than for the provision of electricity. Electric utilities and other providers may have access to information about what customers are using, when they are using it, and what devices are involved. An electricity usage profile could become a source of behavioral information on a granular level.
Fair information privacy principles Edit
Fair Information Practice Principles describe the manner in which entities using automated data systems and networks should collect, use, and safeguard personal information to assure their practice is fair and provides adequate information privacy protection.
Notice and purpose for use of PII Edit
The new smart meters and accompanying potential and actual uses create the need for utilities to be more transparent and clearly provide notice documenting the types of data collected, and the purposes for collecting the data. Within the Smart Grid implementation a clearly-specified notice must describe the purpose for the collection, use, retention, and sharing of PII. Data subjects should be told this information at or before the time of collection.
Choice and consent to use PII Edit
New smart meters create the need for utilities to give residents a choice about the types of data collected. Utilities should obtain consent from residents for using the collected data for other purposes, and as a requirement before data can be shared with other entities.
Collection of PII Edit
In the current operation of the electric grid, data taken from meters consists of basic data usage readings required to create bills. Under a smart grid implementation, meters will collect other types of data. Some of this additional data may be PII. Frequent meter readings may provide not only a detailed time-line of activities occurring inside a metered location, they could also lead to knowledge being gained about specific equipment usage or other internal business processes.
The proliferation of smart appliances and utility devices throughout the grid, on both sides of the meter, means an increase in the number of devices that may generate data. The privacy risks presented by these smart appliances and devices on the customer side of the meter are expanded when these appliances and devices transmit data outside of the Home Automation Network (HAN) or building management system and do not have documented security requirements, effectively extending the perimeter of the system beyond the walls of the premises.
Data may also be collected from electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs/PHEVs). Charging data may be used to track the travel times and locations for the EV/PHEV owners.
Because of the associated privacy risks, only the minimum amount of data necessary for the utility companies to use for energy management and billing should be collected. However, the amount of information collected may vary, depending on whether or not power generation occurs on the premises. Home generation services will likely increase the amount of information created and shared.
Use and retention of PII Edit
In the current operation of the electric grid, data taken from meters is used to create residents' bills, determine energy use trends, and allow customers to control their energy usage both on-site and remotely. The new smart meters, and the Smart Grid network, will have the capability to use the collected data in an unlimited number of ways.
Information should only be used or disclosed for the purpose for which it was collected, and should be divulged only to those parties authorized to receive it. PII should be aggregated or anonymized wherever possible to limit the potential for computer matching of records. PII should only be kept as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.
Individual access Edit
In the current operation of the electric grid, data taken from the meters is obtainable by consumers from their own homes. The data collected in a Smart Grid implementation may be stored in multiple locations. Currently, there is no standardized process to allow residents to access to their own corresponding PII that may be stored throughout the Smart Grid.
Currently, customers are able to access their account information through their monthly bill, utility websites, and annual terms and conditions statements. The utilities that comprise the Smart Grid should establish and provide to all customers a process to allow them to inspect their corresponding PII, and to request the correction of inaccuracies. Customers should also be informed about parties with whom PII has been shared.
Disclosure and limiting use of PII Edit
Significant privacy concerns and risks exist when PII is inappropriately shared without the knowledge and consent of the individuals to whom the PII applies. Data collected through smart meters should be used solely for the specific purposes for which it was collected. If utilities wish to use the data for other purposes, or share the data with other entities, they should notify consumers, clearly communicate their plans, and obtain consent to use and share the data as described.
Security and safeguards Edit
The data collected from smart meters may potentially be transmitted to and stored in multiple locations throughout the Smart Grid. Establishing strong security safeguards will be necessary to protect the PII from loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
Accuracy and quality of PII Edit
The data collected from smart meters and related equipment will potentially be stored in multiple locations throughout the Smart Grid. Meter data may be automatically collected in a variety of ways. The ability to inappropriately modify data could be significant in utilities where access controls are not appropriately set. Accordingly, establishing strong security safeguards will be necessary to protect the information. Since meter data may be stored in many locations, and therefore, accessed by many different individuals and entities and used for a very wide variety of purposes, PII data may be inappropriately modified. Automated Smart Grid decisions made for home energy use could be detrimental for residents (e.g., restricted power, thermostats turned to dangerous levels), while decisions about Smart Grid power use and activities could be based upon inaccurate information.
Every effort must be made to ensure that PII collected throughout the Smart Grid, and at all locations where it is stored, is accurate, complete and relevant for the purposes identified, and remains accurate throughout the life of the PII.

The Arizona manifestation of the Ferguson movement began on December 2nd, 2014 when a police officer in Phoenix fired upon and killed an unarmed, suspected drug dealer, Rumain Brisbon. Immediate parallels were drawn between Brisbon and Mike Brown, giving birth to Arizona's own "Ferguson." From this birth, two sub-movements formed; Justice for Rumain Brisbon and Black Lives Matter Arizona.
Black Lives Matter Arizona comprised clergy, National Action Network, and African American activists from the Phoenix area, including the outspoken Reverend Jarrett Maupin. Justice for Rumain comprised millennials, immigration activists, and a smattering of other special interests. Orbiting around these two groups are Carpe Locus, Nation of Islam, and Wave of Action-Phoenix, all of whom lend their support. The Justice for Rumain group attracted more militant voices while Maupin's group seemed to attract more tempered activists. Plenty of people rose to leadership status in the various movements but Black Lives Matter Arizona was clearly in control, and Rev. Maupin was the de facto leader.
That was until January 7th, 2015 when Reverend Maupin participated in three, staged, police scenarios armed with a body camera and a simunitions gun. In one of the scenarios Maupin is faced with a large, unarmed suspect charging toward him. Maupin fired his sim-gun "killing" the suspect. Later, when reflecting on the entire experience Maupin stated very clearly that people "need to comply…for their own safety." Within hours of the newscast, the video of Maupin went viral on social media. By the next day, it was filling Facebook streams and Twitter feeds of friends and foe. It was quickly evident the Maupin video was going to be the watershed moment for Arizona activists.
On Friday the 9th, Yonasda Hill, the Justice for Rumain co-chair, issued a short statement on Facebook wherein she declared, "Stop police terrorism. We will never comply until the police comply. We are a movement of many leaders not just one leader." A few hours later the entire Justice for Rumain committee issued a statement declaring the news story a "media stunt." They went on to state, "Jarret Maupin is not our leader" and demand the officer who killed Brisbon be indicted. Tia Oso, an outspoken immigration activist and committee member declared the news story propaganda and reiterated Maupin did not speak for the group. Interestingly enough, she stated they were not anti-police, a sentiment she apparently abandoned when she penned her own statement wherein she unequivocally rejected the premise of seeing things from the police perspective. She accused Maupin of furthering police injustice, racism, and civil rights violations. Her final slap to Maupin came in the last paragraph when she stated, "There is no room for those who are focused on personal gain and glory at the expense of the community."
Another activist linked with Justice for Rumain went even further referring to Maupin as an "Uncle Tom" and several more epithets and slurs. She engaged in direct debate with Black Lives Matters Arizona organizer Katt McKinney who tried in vain to explain why communication with the police was essential for change. Kim and her followers overpowered Katt's arguments and affirmed their opposition any cooperation with, or understanding of, the police. Kim, Tia Oso, and many others revealed themselves to be anti-police extremists hell bent on breaking the system rather than working to correct its' ills.
The division could not have come at a worse time for the movement. Super Bowl XLIX is just around the corner. The groups need to be unified in order to carry out any effective direct action. If the Justice for Rumain group does not unify with Black Lives Matter-Arizona, they will be forced to the outer extremes of the group which means their tactics will go from bringing attention to their cause, to "smashing the system." A proposition that would lead to quick infiltration by the police, and an even quicker demise. Other groups have experienced a similar demise; Occupy: Phoenix and Shut Down all Ports are just a few. In many ways the dynamic at play in Arizona is one that will soon, or already is, affecting the Ferguson movement across the country. Specifically, do they strive for reasonable catharsis with law enforcement, or do they fight?
One shows promise, the other desperation.

Okay so my boyfriend of 9 months has friends that are girls obviously and he lets me go through his messages when he text them, but when I ask him if I can read the messages of him and his baby momma he says "no, because that's none of your business" what's the difference? Is it honestly none of my business just because she the baby momma? She wants to be with him without a doubt and he already told her he will never get back with her, that their only talking because of the baby girl which is 2. What should I do? Or where should I not cross the line?
Baby momma drama !!! Ugh?

Why are you going through his messages in the first place there should be trust. there really isn't any "baby momma" drama either your creating it. It sounds like your insecure more so with the mother of his child as I understand there is more of history there that obviously won't go away. you should trust his word that he wants nothing to do with her in regards of a relationship of being together but having a relationship (being cordial etc) for the best of the daughter. although I agree its difficult to be with someone who has kids, I myself have a son. For my situation my sons dad and I literally never talk unless its about our son, that being said his wife and I talk all the time through texting etc. She understands me more. I'm not going to say were best friends but I do talk to her about stuff and there is a line that I do draw with some stuff with her maybe try building a relationship with her see if that helps. I know its not going to be easy. but if I can put the past behind and do whats best for our son ( he cheated on me when I was 9 months pregnant and after with her, neither one of us having a clue) it took time of course to get this point of course but after almost 7 years I can honestly say my sons dad and I get along great because our son needs to see we can all get along and be there for him. because that's the most important thing11|00|0
I've tried to plenty of times, and she just doesn't want to, she's the type of person if she can't have him, no one can and if he doesn't do what she tells him to do he can't FaceTime the daughter (they live in a different state) I guess my whole issues is I know he doesn't want to be with her, I just want to know what they text, because when we first started dating, 3 months into it I found out he would still tell her I love you and I want to be with you, just to see the daughter, and that's why I have a doubt, what if he's still doing that beside my back, like lastime we were in bed and she was calling him and he ignored her and she called 6 times he went upstairs to talk to her and told her that he was playing games upstairs and he's phone was charging downstairs, like why didn't he just tell her he was with me? And one time I wrote a quote on he's arm and but it on he's snapchat and when I left o guess she called him crying saying to take it down because she didn't want to see it
And he ended up taking it down? Like really it was literally just a picture of he's arm and what I wrote with a caption of "Abi 💞" and it bothered me that he took it down like why do you care so much about her feelings?
yikes, that's wrong that he has to do what she says otherwise she holds their daughter against him.. if she continues id take it to court. I have a friend that sounds like you girls in the same situation , he was messaging her stuff like that because she's crazy and if he told her that stuff I guess she wasn't as crazy... Have you asked him why he cares about her feelings like he doesn't want to hurt her feelings so he says whatever she wants to here.
You shouldn't need to be looking through any of his texts period.00|00|0
He lied to be before 3 months into our relationship Che was so telling her I love you and the only reason I found out is because the baby momma found me on Facebook and sent me all their messages, she's the tyoe of girl if she's not happy or if he doesn't do what she tells him to do Kiel send money or things, he can't see the daughter or FaceTime her

Re: [Hammock Camping] Which hammock and bag for cold and warm weather?
Expand Messages
- As much as I am looking forward to trying hammock camping I have to admit
that sleeping on the floor/ground has been good for my back (as with anything -
it depends on what is the problem - I have multiple herniations).
I am interested in some of the answers - the end of the month I am going
'cabin camping' with our Boy Scout troop - and as the only woman scheduled to go I
may literally end up out in the cold to be compliant with youth protection
Ohh - I do have a suggestion - think tyvek as a light weight addition for
keeping warm - I used some this past November to supplement gear I had and I LOVE

- Since the weather usually comes here from the west/ south & north 'Lake Effect' snow doesn't happen here as much as it does to Northern Indiana, Michigan State and points East of Lake Michigan. This is because there aren't major bodies of water to the west to feed the snow. The most apparent and often 'Lake Effect' is during the summer as it is 'cooler by the lake' (up to 1mi inland) and in the winter it is warmer by the lake (~5-10 degrees).
still no overnight camping on the lakefront or in anywhere I know of in the metro area (25-35 mile radius from downtown) though. But there are lots of out of the way forested areas where you cant be seen.

Financial Fridays with Julie Pratten – Bailout
Friday 30 January 2015
Welcome to Financial Fridays, your usual helping of buzz words and ideas for Banking & Financial English activities you can use as warmers, fillers or full-blown lessons. This week's Financial Friday feature covers bailout, another topic which continues to ignite heated debate almost a decade after the financial crisis emerged.
If you have any requests about any particular aspect of banking and finance, we would love to hear from you, so please feel free to post your questions.
This Financial Friday features:
- BANKING BUZZ – a handful of banking buzzwords. Why not send us your favourites?
- FINANCIAL FRIDAY FOCUS: Bailout. Last year Bailout was named "Word of the Year" by Merriam-Webster for getting the highest number of lookups online. Bailout was first used to describe rescue from financial troubles in the late 70s when the US government gave Chrysler an injection of cash. Recently, top bankers have been testifying how they used government bailout funds. It is one of those discussion points that never fails to stimulate debate: Should banks be bailed out with tax payers' money? Don't they have insurance funds or reserves to protect themselves from collapse? What systems are in place to protect consumers?
- BLUE CHIP LINKS – suggestions for further reading and listening material on our featured topic and more.
Select the correct answer, A or B.
1 TARP A The term used for the US government's Wall Street bailout bill.
B Banks that are in trouble and need financial aid to stay afloat.
A A central bank ratio used to calculate the risk of domestic banks' lending.
B A key reform to strengthen capital and liquidity regulations.
A An institute established by the BIS to assist the strengthening of financial systems.
B A report about a bank that has serious financial stability problems.
4 Contagion
A The spread of market fluctuation and volatility from one country to another.
B An increase in interest rates by a central bank in one country that causes other banks to follow.
5 Plain vanilla
A Standard language used in lending agreements.
B The most basic version of a financial instrument
Activity 1 Flipped learning
Lead in questions: Bank bailout
● Give your students these lead in questions prior to a lesson on bailout.
What is bailout? Should banks be bailed out by the government? What are the arguments for and against? How much has bailout cost governments?What precautions are banks obliged to take to safeguard themselves and their investors funds?How can these be strengthened?
Activity 2 Vocabulary guessing
● Use this vocabulary guessing activity as a warmer or filler. If your students need a bit of help, you could give them the first letter of each word or write up the missing words.
Look at this short text about bank bailout in the UK.
Some of the words have been replaced with the names of vegetables. With a partner discuss what the missing words could be.
A bank (1) potato package totalling some £500 billion (approximately $850 billion) was announced by the British government in October 2008, as a response to the global financial (2) carrot. This decision comes after a series of major (3) onions in the stock market and concerns about the (4) cabbage of British banks. The plan aimed to restore (5) garlic confidence and help (6) bean the British (7) beetroot system, and provided a range of short-term interbank (8) peppers and (9) cucumbers £50 billion of state (10) cauliflower in the banks themselves.
Activity 3 Discussion
● Use this thought-provoking reading material to stimulate discussion about what is wrong with the banking system today. 'The Bankers' New Clothes' by Anat Admali and Martin Hellwig highlights weaknesses in today's banking system. http://bankersnewclothes.com/
Activity 4 Dictogloss
● Turn the following brief description of the The Bankers' New Clothes into a dictogloss. Create the dictogloss template by deleting some (or all) of the words. Read at normal speed, then give students time to compare their versions by asking each other questions (● no peeking!) ● You may need to read the text two or three times, depending on the level of your group.
The book 'The Bankers' New Clothes' by Anat Admali and Martin Hellwig highlights what is wrong with today's banking system. Recent years have illustrated the fact that risky banking practice can damage the economy. However, some bankers argue that a safer banking system would limit lending and slow economic growth. The Bankers' New Clothes examines this claim and the rhetoric bankers and politicians use to rationalize the lack of reform. The book shows that we can have a safer and healthier banking system and stimulate lending without the high price to society in the last few years. Banks are as fragile as they are not because they must be, but because they want to be–and they get away with it.
