TREASON: Obama Regime Admits Billions given to Iran will fund ISLAMIC TERRORISM!
From Arutz Sheva
Days after Iran received hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief from the controversial nuclear deal, US Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday admitted a good portion of the massive funds will go to terror.
Speaking at the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Kerry spoke about the massive kickback Tehran is receiving after nuclear sanctions were lifted last weekend.
"I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists," he acknowledged to CNBC.
"You know, to some degree, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that can be prevented. But I can tell you this, right now, we are not seeing the early delivery of funds going to that kind of endeavor at this point in time."
Iran itself is designated as a state sponsor of terror by the US, and the US Department of Treasury designated the IRGC's Quds Force that is responsible for missions abroad as a terrorist organization back in 2007. Iran likewise has been propping up its Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah, an internationally recognized terror group which has an estimated 150,000 missiles pointed at Israel.
Kerry also tried to play down the estimates of just how much Iran is receiving in sanctions relief, with estimates placing the figure at between $100 billion and $150 billion.
He claimed those estimates were incorrect, saying that Iran owes a large amount in foreign debt and therefore it will "only" be left with a windfall of $55 billion to fund its terrorism.
Heavy concerns remain over the nuclear deal, given that Iran will be allowed to inspect its own covert nuclear sites such as Parchin, and likewise can simply wait for the limitations on its nuclear program to expire under the deal in 15 years. The leading state sponsor of terror has continued to show a hostile stance vis-a-vis America, recently capturing and releasing ten US Navy sailors. Read More

24 Hrs After 4 Teens Accuse Bill Of Raping Them On Plane, SECOND Dem Busted In Disgusting Sex Crime
For years, Bill Clinton has raped women and gotten away with it, despite countless testimonies from tearful women. But that could all soon change. Within the past 24 hours Bill has been launched into a the center of huge sex scandal, after 4 brave women are risking their lives to sue Bill in court, where they reportedly have evidence to prove that Bill raped them while they were teens.
As we learn vomit-inducing details about how Bill nicknamed the private jet "Air F*ck One," as the airplane became the crime scene for him to carry out his disgusting sexual assaults, another Democrat just got busted in a disgusting sex crime on his crew of female staffers. What makes this particular case extremely unsettling is the massive amounts of TAX PAYER CASH that was stolen to sweep these sex crimes under the rug.
According to breaking reports that has the hypocritical left in an uproar, "a leading Democratic congressman settled a wrongful dismissal complaint for more than $27,000 in taxpayer funding after he allegedly fired the staffer because she would not "succumb to [his] sexual advances," the Daily Caller reports.
Michigan Rep. John Conyers is a serial sexual predator who is being exposed as constantly victimizing his female staffers. This information is being released through sworn affidavits signed by Conyer's former female staffers, after right-wing investigator Mike Cernovich released the documents to BuzzFeed News.
One former female employee filed a complaint with the Congressional Office Of Compliance in 2014, alleging that she was fired for rebuffing Conyers' sexual advances. It was that employee who eventually received a $27,111.75 settlement in 2015, in exchange for a confidentiality agreement. The congressman did not admit to fault as part of the settlement agreement.
"In her complaint, the former employee said Conyers repeatedly asked her for sexual favors and often asked her to join him in a hotel room. On one occasion, she alleges that Conyers asked her to work out of his room for the evening, but when she arrived the congressman started talking about his sexual desires," BuzzFeed reported. "She alleged he then told her she needed to 'touch it,' in reference to his penis, or find him a woman who would meet his sexual demands."
Conyers regularly made sexual advances on female staffers and would ask them for sexual favors, according to the affidavits signed by his former staffers. "Rep. Conyers strongly postulated that the performing of personal service or favors would be looked upon favorably and lead to salary increases or promotions," one former employee said in an affidavit.
He also allegedly abused taxpayer funds to shuttle in women with whom he had sexual relationships.
"One of my duties while working for Rep. Conyers was to keep a list of women that I assumed he was having affairs with and call them at his request and, if necessary, have them flown in using Congressional resources," one affidavit states. Another staffer told BuzzFeed that Conyers, who is the longest-serving congressman, used taxpayer funds to fly women into see him.
This latest bombshell comes just mere days after we exposed how the Congressional Office Of Compliance spent a startling $17 million dollars of taxpayer money to cover their rape crimes by buying off the victims.
A brave congresswoman has blown the whistle on how tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds has gone towards silencing victims of rape by high-level government officials.
Rep. Jackie Speier told MSNBC that the U.S. House of Representatives alone has spent at least $15 million to settle sexual misconduct lawsuits in the last decade.
Thefreethoughtproject.com reports: "We really need to reform the entire Office of Compliance process," Speier said. "Right now it takes about 90 days for you to file a complaint, and before actually going through the mediation, you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement and then you are not represented by counsel, but the harasser is represented by the House of Representatives general counsel."
In many cases, as was seen with Harvey Weinstein, when ultra-rich and powerful individuals are accused of sexual assault, they respond by paying large sums of money to their victims, in exchange for an iron-clad, non-disclosure agreement.
It's high time that liberals are held accountable for their crimes. It's absolutely insane how Bill the Rapist and these other leftist predators have managed to stick their man parts in whoever they wanted over the years, all while the left wants to continue to invent fake sex scandals about Republicans right before an election is held.

Obama Suffers Complete Meltdown Over What Veterans Just Gave Trump On Live TV
For the past 8 years, Obama made it no secret how much he hated our military. He hollowed out our military capabilities to pre-world war II capabilities, while making it virtually impossible for our soldiers to protect themselves on the battlefield with the outrageous changes he made to our military's Rules of Engagement (ROE), resulting in the deaths of dozens of our warriors. To add insult to injury, Obama constantly treated our service members like crap, refusing to do simple things like return salutes to Marines assigned to his detail, where he reduced our Marines to his personal umbrella-holding servant boys. Obama also would go back on his campaign promise to "fix the VA," where hundreds of our veterans would go on to die waiting for medical treatment from their war injuries.
With Trump in office, things have taken a drastic and wonderful turn for the better. President Trump's love and appreciation for our military is constantly on full display with the genuinely nice way he treats any service member he comes into contact with. Whether it's chasing down a Marine's hat that's blown off, taking time from his busy schedule to visit our wounded warriors, going to a fallen soldier's funeral, or firing 800 corrupt VA officials who worked during the Obama Administration, Trump's sincere care and compassion for Americans truly knows no bounds.
So not surprisingly, when President Trump had the opportunity to honor our veterans over Veteran's Day, despite his busy 11-day Asia tour, he would drop everything to honor our Vietnam veterans with an incredible ceremony and a heartfelt speech. Trump took the stage to honor all of America's veterans, where he was flanked by 7 elderly Vietnam Veterans. But one of the veterans did something completely unexpected after Trump's remarks, that will probably have Hussein Obama completely furious.
Standing with Vietnam veterans behind him, Trump said:
"Our veterans are a national treasure, and I thank them all for their service, sacrifice, and patriotism."
"To each of you with me today, you are the heroes who fulfill your duty to our nation. And each of you, under the most difficult conditions, did what you had to do, and you did it well."
Unlike Obama who made every event on planet earth about him, President Trump then turned the microphone over to the seven Vietnam heroes behind them, giving them the opportunity to say whatever was on their minds. The third veteran to speak, who was wearing a Navy SEAL veteran hat, could only get a few words out before choking up and turning to Trump saying:
"Mr. President, from my heart, thank you for your support of the military, and it's an honor to be here as one of seven Vietnam veterans representing the 58,000 heroes that never made it home. Thank you so much," the veteran said.
Immediately overcome with his appreciation and emotion for a Commander-in-Chief who genuinely cares, unlike our previous president, the veteran then hugged Trump and began weeping. The touching moment begins around 3:55:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen any World War II or Vietnam Veteran ever hug Obama for anything he did for them. Obama had no issue stabbing our elderly veterans in the back, as we all remember the heartbreaking images of wheelchair-bound elderly veterans being turned away from visiting their World War II memorial after Obama decided to shut it down back in 2013 as part of his political ploy to make Republicans pay. Even the Park Police thought it was incredibly horrible what Obama did, and refused to follow Obama's orders and not let the veterans into the memorial.
Here's a recap of the disgusting way Obama treated our WWII veterans, via Stars and Stripes:
Wheelchair-bound elderly veterans pushed aside barricades to tour the World War II Memorial Tuesday morning, in defiance of the government shutdown which closed all of the memorials in the nation's capital.
The four bus loads of veterans — visiting from Mississippi as part of a once-in-a-lifetime Honor Flight tour — ignored National Park Police instructions not to enter the site as lawmakers and tourists cheered them on.
"We didn't come this far not to get in," one veteran proclaimed.
The scene was both emotional and comical at once. After it was clear they had lost control of the situation, Park Police officials stood aside, telling press that they had "asked for guidance on how to respond" to the breach of security.
The memorial was closed because of the government shutdown that started 11 hours earlier, after lawmakers failed to pass a temporary budget plan to keep nonessential federal programs operating. Republicans and Democrats have been stalled in budget fight for weeks, mostly over legislative add-ons dealing with the new healthcare law.
It's wonderful to see our veterans finally being treated well by a Commander-in-Chief who doesn't exist for the sake of furthering the Islamic agenda. You know Obama's got to be pretty mad right now after seeing how much our veterans LOVE President Trump!

Obama's Secret Agent Just Infiltrated WH While Trump's Out – Has Chilling Plan To Take Over Homeland Security
For the past 8 years, Barack Hussein Obama worked tirelessly to take down America as he alienated our allies and emboldened our enemies. While we all hoped this traitor would drive his golf cart into the sunset never to be seen again, that's sadly not the case, as he continues to obsess with ways to take Trump out by constantly trolling him with his "shadow government" and putting his little spies in the White House. Now it appears as though another Obama operative has managed to dupe Trump into a job, after the disturbing information that was just leaked about the person President Trump just picked to take over Homeland Security.
Muslims understand fully that to take down our country they must infiltrate every single facet of our government. Obama worked tirelessly towards this goal where he placed an ISIS-supporting Muslim terrorist by the name of Mohammad Elibiary in charge of Homeland Security back in 2014. The Muslim terrorist was let go a short time later amid allegations of a cover-up and due to massive outrage on the behalf of Americans.
"A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) adviser long engulfed in controversy over his radical views was let go from his role in the department last week after a long fight by lawmakers and others to revoke the individual's privileges at DHS," Free Beacon reported.
Fast forward to Trump's presidency, and Obama is still trying to implant his spies. Back in May, one of Obama's Muslims successfully got into Trump's administration. Trump's Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Habib Powell was discovered to not only be a Muslim, but good buddies with both Hillary and Obama's former Iranian Muslim Brotherhood advisor/terrorist, Valerie Jarrett as well.
Got News reported: "Dina Powell is frequently referred to as 'The Republican Huma Abedin' and is a member of Hillary Clinton's 'Vital Voices.' Powell is a good friend of Huma Abedin, who worked with her husband 'at the Clinton-linked consultancy Teneo.' Powell also has connections to Obama's confidant Valerie Jarrett."
After this near catastrophe, you'd think President Trump would vet his new staff members more closely. Now it appears as though another Obama spy has managed to infiltrate the Trump Administration after disturbing information was just leaked about Trump's current choice for head of Homeland Security who we're learning is nothing more than a bleeding heart lunatic liberal who loves Muslims just as much as Hussein Obama.
Breitbart reported on Kirstjen Nielsen's goal for flooding Europe with Muslim refugees, that's as just as ridiculous and unsettling as her orange spray tan.
President Donald Trump's nominee to head the Department of Homeland Security led a business-dominated committee at the World Economic Forum which insisted that Europe had no choice but to accept a huge wave of unskilled migrants from poor, conflict-wracked countries.
"The key policy issue confronting Europe is not whether to accept forced migrants but rather how to turn the associated challenges into opportunities," said the 2016 report by Kirstjen Nielsen's committee, titled "Global Agenda Council on Risk & Resilience."
The business leaders, political advocates, and bureaucrats in Nielsen's group recommended that security risks and economic turmoil be pushed aside to focus primarily on the benefits of cheap labor.
"Reframing the discourse surrounding refugees from one of risk to one that recognizes the substantial social and economic contribution they can make to their host societies is increasingly important in light of the current largescale influx of migrants into Europe," the report urged.
Nielsen's background and her role on the committee give no indication that she supports Trump's "Buy American, Hire American" economic-nationalist and civic agenda.
"Why would she be put in charge of Homeland Security," NumbersUSA's Rosemary Jenks asked Breitbart News.
"A lot of Kirstjen Nielsen's background, including her position in this report, indicates clearly she doesn't support Trump's immigration agenda," Jenks said.
The members of Nielsen's committee is a long list of globalist executives, all of whom gain from the continued flow of cheap, foreign workers and welfare-aided, consumer migrants into the U.S. and Europe.
If we wanted our government infiltrated with Muslim lovers, we would've just elected Hillary Clinton who made it her stated goal to flood Europe and America with millions of Muslims during her first term alone. Seriously. what's going on inside Trump's administration? What are Kirstjen Nielsen's goals for resettling Muslims into America? Is it just as drastic as her stated plans for Europe? How many more of Obama's agents will continue to infiltrate the Trump Administration?

Work is scheduled to begin next week to replace the Wrenn Road Bridge in Prospect Hill, the state Department of Transportation said.
The project is part of the DOT�s program to improve the condition of the state�s bridges. Built in 1957, the existing bridge over Sugartree Creek should be replaced to meet current and future traffic needs, the DOT said in a news release. The current bridge has load restrictions that prohibit some trucks and emergency vehicles from crossing.
Wrenn Road will be closed starting Monday and will remain closed during construction. Local traffic will be able to access homes and businesses from either end of Wrenn Road, but will not be able to pass beyond the closure points on either side of Sugartree Creek. Travelers will use Painter Road and Ridgeville Road as the signed detour route.
The work is part of an overall $7.3 million contract awarded in 2012 to Smith-Rowe, LLC of Mt. Airy to replace 12 bridges in Caswell, Guilford, Orange and Rockingham counties. The new bridge is expected to be complete by May 30.

About Me
Welcome to my MM profile.
I'm here to network with models, stylist, designers, photoshop wizards, MUA and other photographers.
Although I'm prefer paid shoots, I do still shoot the occasional TF. TFDL (Time for Download) to be exact.
I'm always looking for the select few who posses a great look and style. To be considered for TF work you need to have a few things:
- Hair and makeup fully done. - Getting a MUA and/or hair stylist works best but if you do it yourself please know what you are doing.
- A basic understanding and bag full of poses. - It's not fun to work with models that keep repeating the same 6 poses.
- A wardrobe you haven't shot with before. - I don't want to repeat the same look another photographer has already given you.
- Be energetic. - Expect to do some walking, running, climbing, handstands, cartwheels, etc.
- Some originality and creativity. - Go beyond what you have done before. Don't be afraid to step outside the box.
I do not pay models unless I'm being paid for a job. So please do not send me your rates unless I inquire.
I'm a spontaneous shooter. Most of my shoots were not planned. (except location) I enjoy shooting in that style as it keeps me looking for new ideas.
Sometimes I do have a new concept I'd like to try out and other times it's something I probably saw elsewhere that i want to give my personal touch to.
I don't mind fully planned shoots with big concepts, lighting, and the whole nine yards as I've done them before.
What you can expect from shooting TF with me:
A relaxed fun shoot with lots of crazy ideas.
3-5 images per outfit (sometime more) available at high res via download.
What you will not get from shooting TF with me:
Unedited photos. Not even for your myspace, facebook, twitter, et al.
A CD mailed to you. (If you require a CD you must come get it.) I make exceptions for models who live more than 1.5 hours away.
A boring shoot.
I'm available for portfolio development at an incredibly reasonable rate. Please contact me for further info.

5 senses as next frontier for computers, IBM says
Computers, in the coming years, will begin to get a taste of the world, according to an IBM Corp. forecast.
They also will begin to see, hear, smell and even feel, seers at the Armonk-based company said in an annual forecast of the most significant technology trends during the next five years.
"We ask: What is the next big thing?" said Bernard Meyerson, vice president of innovation at IBM who owns more than 40 patents and was honored as the Inventor of the Year by the state Legislature in 1998. "What's going to move the world?"
The conclusion of Meyerson and others at IBM was that a revolution is brewing in "cognitive computing," an emerging field in which computers operate more like a human brain and help us think.
In the coming years, he said, computers increasingly will go beyond manipulating static data like spreadsheets and begin using sensors that provide a window into the rich world of data processed by humans through the five senses.
How will those advanced computers work?
In a telephone interview, Meyerson said the New Age computers will understand the implications of data but also be able to put them in context.
For instance, "hearing" computers may receive sounds from sensors on a hill and predict a coming mudslide, he said. Another computer, meanwhile, might be able to listen to a baby's chatter and, like a human, make a judgment on whether the child is happy or sad.
"Smelling" computers already are at work, sniffing the air in urban centers for hints of biohazards. But computers also could aid physicians in detecting the distinctive smell that warns that a person has diabetes, he said.
In theory, Meyerson said, sensors could be loaded with the distinctive chemical fingerprint of a banana, and say, the individual flavors of 50 other foods.
"After a while, you take enough likes and don't likes and they generate a profile," he said. This "machine that can optimize the joy of food" could optimize a recipe to fit the taste of an individual or balance taste with health factors.
Work on taste already is seeping out of the lab, Meyerson said, and IBM scientists have begun working with chefs at an unnamed culinary institute.
In the realm of sight, computers are learning to better recognize patterns as humans do. Possible uses include finding a face in a crowd or spotting disease in an magnetic resonance imaging scan and seeing how it fits in a patient's medical history.
Those computers of the future even could transmit a sense of touch to humans, Meyerson said.
"You're staring at pants that you want to buy online," he said. "Imagine there's a way you can mimic a texture vibrationally."
The vibrations could mimic the feel of a soft fabric or a hard fabric. Alternatively, the sense of touch could be transmitted through a set of pins.
"There are a lot of ways of attacking this issue," Meyerson said.
Compared with humans, however, the computers will be taking only baby steps at processing the massive amounts of data that humans deal with daily.
"Humans are hugely efficient in downloading data to themselves," he said.
As computers gain rudimentary senses, IBM researchers said, they also will gain increasingly fluid intellects that can help them use the information, much like IBM's Watson, the supercomputer that put questions in context to beat human contestants on TV's "Jeopardy."
"There's a reasoning component," Meyerson said of Watson. "It can rework priorities."
Still, even if Watson can beat us at "Jeopardy," the human brain remains the unchallenged model of data-processing efficiency, Meyerson said.
Although the circuits of Watson burn 80,000 watts of electricity, human brains get by with a mere 20 watts, 4,000 times less.

Every day six people are murdered in the U.S. by a spouse or intimate partner. The stories of killer spouses capture the attention of readers, who wonder how such normal and seemingly happy people can go over the edge. In every relationship there are "extreme moments" where scary feelings surface. But what happens when those feelings turn to action?
In 'Till Death Do Us Part, noted psychotherapist Robi Ludwig, along with journalist Matt Birkbeck, answers these troubling questions by identifying ten killer personality types. In Ludwig's practice she has found that within nearly every relationship there are extreme moments where scary and dangerous feelings surface. These are deep feelings and disturbing thoughts we all have, yet for the most part never act upon. But when that line crosses over into murder something has gone terribly wrong, and we all ask the same question, how could this have happened?
©2006 Robi Ludwig and Matt Birkbeck; (P)2006 Tantor Media, Inc.
"An intelligent and timely book, this will please true crime readers as much as those interested in psychology." (Publishers Weekly)
"Waste of Money"
Pedestrian prose and shallow insights from an author who is much too sure of herself. Uses stock analytical terms, but never truly penetrates the mind of a killer. Reveling in her role as an "expert," she'd be in her element on Oprah.
"Too late to say goodbye"
This audio book is just a lot of psycho babble.
There is no story line, it does not review cases IE: Lacy Peterson.
"Very Poorly Written"
This book is not for the reader who enjoys analytical true crime, or decent writing. If one were to remove all of the redundant language (such as "easily and effortlessly," etc.) the length would be reduced by half. I didn't know who Robi Ludwig was until I started listening. Not recommended.
"" I enjoyed this a lot""
" this book held my interest to the end, it was one sitting and I never got bored of the true stories, many high profile cases as well as some lesser known cases. Highly recommend for true crime buffs or anyone interested in phycological profiles of these types of people."
"Tortured throughout ..."
I stuck with it only b/c audiobooks - as quickly as I fly through them - are so costly. When I researched the blessed end, I so was happy that "Till Death Do Us Part."

What are Hybrid Sex Toys? It's pretty simple, they could be any type of erotic toys that can be used as both male and Female Sex Toys. These are also known as unisex toys, couples toys, vibrators and massage toys. You can find a wide range of these adult novelties from our Online Sex Shop.
Among the many hybrid sex toys available online, the vibrating ring, or the vibrating cock ring, seems to get a lot of attention. Probably because it can be used in all sorts of ways; on the finger (making it a finger vibrator), on a dildo or a vibrator, as an anal massager (prostate massager), and of course, it is put on a penis in order to keep it erect and to provide g-spot stimulation during sexual intercourse.
The Hot G Vibe ring is considered a hybrid sex toy. Why? Because it is a multi-tasking and it can be used in a variety of ways. It is made from Grade A silicone and it has a vibrating motor that lasts over 40 minutes. The ring is expandable so it can fit all penis sizes. While this not only accomodates just the average man's penis, it is built small enough so it can also be used as a prostate massager.
A prostate massage, otherwise known as milking of the prostate gland, is a process in which men can ejaculate without penile or testicular stimulation. All that is required is simple prostate stimulation– this can be done with one or two fingers or with a prostate massaging vibrator like the Hot G Vibe. The GVibe ring is small enough to snuggle into the anus, and its vibrators are strong enough to provide total stimulation to the P-Spot (male g-spot).
You may have seen on videos from youporn.com that women use the Hot G Vibe as a finger vibrator. This is one of the most popular methods of how women take advantage of the G-Vibe's great variability. When the GVibe is fitted on the finger, women can control exactly how fast or hard they want to rub their clitoris or g-spot.
Using two Hot G Vibes (one on each index finger of each hand), women can either do the following combinations:
1) G-Spot Stimulation & Clitoral Stimulation
2) G-Spot Stimulation & Anal Stimulation
3) Clitoral Stimulation & Anal
For men, they can try some of the following combinations of the G Vibe:
1) Put a Ring at the base of the penis, above the testicles (testicular stimulation)
2) Put a ring at the base of the penis facing up (provides clitoral stimulation for the female)
3) Putting a Ring on the middle of the shaft (Ideal for female G-spot stimulation
4) Slowly massaging the G-Vibe on the prostate gland (for P-Spot massages)
Try using the Hot G Vibe today and enjoy its wonderful variability as a hybrid sex toy. Purchasing a bigger HGV ring package will indeed give you enough vibrating rings to last several sessions alone or with your partner.
Get your Hot G Vibe Cock Ring today and start improving your sex life!

Miles turns 1
Seeing Ashton's story inspired us to write a little about our son Miles. Miles was born 4 days earlier than Ashton on May 6, 2013.
Miles in the NICU
At our 20 week ultrasound we found out Miles had spina bifida. In an instant our world changed forever but we could never imagine how it would be for the better.
Maternal Fetal Medicine at Akron Children's Hospital saw us every step of the way and we felt so trusting of the hands our son would be in. When he arrived on May 6, he was taken to the NICU where he would be taken such great care of by the best.
During his 11 day stay, he received a back closure surgery and the placement of a shunt. No words can express our complete faith and gratitude we have for his neurosurgeon Dr. Hudgins. What a God send Akron Children's Hospital has in him.
His first year also brought us to the Vision Center where he had eye surgery done and another coming up. Again, he has been treated with the utmost care and expertise.
As we reflect on his first year of life, we are so thankful for the gem in our own backyards, Akron Children's Hospital. Those who have been there know what an amazing place it is and how lucky we are to have it. Those that have not been there let me just tell you it is one of a kind.
From the nurses to the doctors, to the techs to the desk staff, everyone goes above and beyond to make your child happy and healthy. And as a parent there is nothing more you could ask for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

My 10 year old daughter and I will be travelling to the Netherlands to see my sister who is currently living near Arnhem. I am very familiar with northern France, and spent a week in Holland when I was her age but don't remember a whole lot about it. I would love any suggestions for the best day trips to take. We have a fairly small budget so overnight trips will have to be limited, but I would make the "right" trip work. She loves anything historical and wants to "see stuff from when the old people lived"! How cool is that? If I could I would take her all through northern France, into Belgium, and then back through the Netherlands. I would be ok with northern Germany as well. We leave in a little over a month and haven't started planning anything!!! Help!!!

You are very close to what is my favorite Dutch city, Utrecht. It has one grand canal, lined with cafes, trees, and antique shops. It is a very busy and popular place, but nearly everybody you will encounter is Dutch (as opposed, to, um Amsterdam). You can walk endlessly and find more commercial delights (like the great frites, and the flower stands by the canals - - and take her into the department store Hema to look at knick knacks - - there are also great cheap knick-knack shops). My second favorite Dutch city is Leiden, which is a much longer trip, and has many of the same allures, but in a different configuration - - Delft is a hop, spring and jump further, and Den Haag has a Holland in miniature feature, along with the great beach in Scheveningen. If you can make it up to Hoorn (through Amsterdam and up the interior coast) that has a charming old fishing village atmosphere. The cheese market in Alkmaar is also classic (check days/times for the best action with the old clothing). Then there's Amsterdam, with the Anne Frank house, but you could almost save Amsterdam (with its teeming stoned tourist masses) for another trip, though the carnival atmosphere at the Dam might be fun, as well as a trip to the Artis (zoo).
Report Abuse
One of the most famous battles of WWII was fought at Arnhem.
The Den Haag has a Holland in miniature feature mentioned by dforh is Madurodam. This is a fascinating exhibit for all ages. If your daughter likes water and amusement parks a visit to Duinrell near Wassenaar is something she will never forget. My daughter, then about 10, loved it. I was 60 and also loved it, especially the water slides.
I like Zaanse Schans for windmills and old buildings. Other Fodorites have other favorites and I'm sure they will make suggestions.
I have lived in Haarlem for four years in the past. I recommend a visit if you have time to go over there. It would probably take a couple of hours to get there by train. Check schedules at the Nederlands Rail site www.ns.nl/en.
Report Abuse
I wouldn't skip Amsterdam. Anne Frank house, a tour through the canals, and the newly reopened Rijksmuseum. And visit het Grachtenhuis, to see how the rich lived in the 17th century.
'teeming stoned tourist masses' is quite an exaggeration. And I wouldn't visit a zoo in Amsterdam with a kid interested in history. She will love Amsterdam.
Report Abuse
Arnhem has a an open air museum, full of stuff from when the old people lived. http://www.openluchtmuseum.nl/en/
As a break from museums Burgers Zoo www.burgerszoo.com is superb, or maybe a trip to Hoge Veluwe for a bike ride, http://www.hogeveluwe.nl/en/14 and if she is up to it the Kroller Muller museum.
There is also the Africa museum in Berg en Dal, the Dutch water museum, http://www.watermuseum.nl/(only in Dutch at the moment) and plenty of WWII stuff around Arnhem.
Have a look at http://www.arnhemnijmegenregion.com/ for lots of info on things to do around Arnhem and Nijmegen.
Zaansche Schans is very touristy and often full of Chinese coach parties. That said it will probably appeal to a 10 year old - she can see clogs being made, go into windmills and the like. A long trip from Arnhem though.
Definitely do at least a day in Amsterdam.
In Utrecht there is the Speelklok museum www.museumspeelklok.nl/?Language=en. Also there is the Dick Bruna house, though she may be a little old for that http://centraalmuseum.nl/en/visit/locations/dick-bruna-house/.
Muiderslot is also great for kids, as is nearby Naarden.

Arnhem is a nice city. If your little girl is interested in castles, close to Arnhem is Castle Rosendael. Do bring dry clothes if you go there, in the garden "de Bedriegertjes" are designed to get you wet
Already mentioned by "hetismij2" is the open-air museum.
Probably less interesting to a little girl, but the Airborne museum at Oosterbeek should not be missed. It is located in the old Hartenstein hotel, where General-Major Urquhart quartered the allied headquarters during the battle of Arnhem in WWII.
Other castles in the neighbourhood include house Zypendaal (very close to Oosterbeek & Arnhem), Ammersoyen (in Ammerzoden), de Canneburgh in Vaassen (which is my favorite because that is where I spent the better part of my childhood) and last but not least: Castle Doorwerth (slightly further away). If you have a bit more time and don't mind traveling a bit further, Muiderslot should certainly be on your list.
If she's interested into even older history, a short trip to Xanten (Germany) may be a good choice (http://www.apx.de/english/index.htm). It's about an hour drive from Arnhem but may be worth the visit. Also, in Nijmegen (very close to Arnhem), visit the Valkhof Museum.
Also worth a visit: Dorestad museum (Wijk bij Duurstede) and Paleis het Loo (Apeldoorn). The Dorestad museum shows a lot about how people lived in ancient times. It's small, but cozy. Paleis het Loo provides a very different view on life, built in the 17th century it was a secondary home to the King Willem III en Queen Mary II. Very pretty and nice gardens!

I will second Xanten and its Roman outdoor park/museum. It is a great location for children and will allow her to say she has been to Germany. I would suggest to go even further into Germany, because less than two hours from Arnhem is Köln (Cologne) with one of the most impressive Doms (Catherdrals) in Europe as well as several great museums, including a Roman one.
Have fun!

Wow! What wonderful suggestions! I definitely wanted to do a day in Amsterdam (I think that is precious plenty for what we need to see) but the open air museums sound wonderful. I recall going to a fishing village when we were there and no one can seem to remember where we went...of course this is the one thing that stands out in my memory so I want to be sure that I take her to somewhere similar!
I have never heard of Xanten, and am very excited! I am not sure my sister has even heard of this place...looks like the perfect place to go! We may even be able to roll this into a trip to Cologne and a ride down the Rhine.
Thank you all so much for the wonderful suggestions!!!

Was the village Spakenburg? My cousin from Doorwerth (Arnhem) took me to Spakenburg once - it's sort of a badly-kept secret. Some of the older people still used to dress in traditional clothing, who knows what they do nowadays. I bought a beautiful traditional jacket from there. It's badly signposted, I think because they don't want people coming there, understandably. It's a former fishing village, but the community has sort of grown beyond that nowadays. I'm sure there are any number of small villages you could visit, though. Another one coming from Amsterdam might be Marken - not really near where you'll be but worth a look.
Report Abuse
The village could have been Spakenburg, or Urk, or Marken, or even Volendam.
Sakenburg is close to me, and I like it a lot. During the summer they have Spakenburger days every Wednesday which are interesting to visit. It is hard to get to by public transport though.
Urk is a former island on the edge of the Ijsselmeer, also well worth a visit.
Don't aim to visit either on a Sunday though.
Report Abuse
Volendam is the only name of those listed above that I recognize. That doesn't mean the rest aren't where we were. My recollection is that of a 10 year old that went where her parents took her. I had no idea where I was and when. We toured the Netherlands in 4 or 5 days and my dad was the type that had us going from morning until we couldn't hold our eyes open. He does not even remember the village (no help there).
We will be fortunate to have access to vehicles with free gasoline so we can drive wherever we so choose!
Do any of you know anything about the Rhine river tours? I recall doing one as a child and being bored silly. However, I had seen just about ever chateau there was to see in France by that point so seeing more that just happened to be located on the side of a river were really unimpressive. I am not certain my daughter would share the same sentiment. She has seen the Biltmore House, but that is about it. Any suggestions as to a trip to the Rhine that would only require one hotel night?
Report Abuse
Rhine River tours: The river cruise is only part of the experience - the more interesting part is checking out the villages and castles. This suggestion for two villages and two castles includes never-destroyed Marksburg Castle:
1.) Take the train from Arnhem to Bingen, the southern end of the scenic Middle Rhine. On most days, there's a 9:07 train to Cologne (arrive 10:45.) Suggest you pause in Cologne for a look at the incredible Cologne Cathedral and a quick bite to eat at the station. Then catch the 11:53 train to Bingen (one change of train in Koblenz, arrive in Bingen at 13:43. (Standard adult fare for Arnhem-Bingen is 69€ for most trains, but if you can pinpoint the date, a cheaper fare, as low as 39€, can be had at the German Railways site: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en )
2.) Walk to the KD boat dock and catch the 14:30 boat north. Cruise to St. Goar for the best part of the river (takes 1.5 hours.) Your DB (German Railways) train ticket doubles as a 20% off coupon.
Schedule: http://www.k-d.com/en/kd-scheduled-cruises/
Regular fares: http://www.k-d.com/en/kd-scheduled-cruises/day-cruise-rates/#c620
3.) Drop bags at hotel in town. St. Goar has the most scenic setting of any of the Rhine villages - 3 castles are visible from the docks. Still time to see Rheinfels Castle if you want to (self-guided): http://www.st-goar.de/17-1-rheinfels-castle.html
4.) Day 2: Take a morning train south for a visit to Oberwesel or Bacharach (5-10 minutes south of St. Goar.) Return to St. Goar for lunch, fetch bags. Ferry across to St. Goarshausen (ferry runs all day) and walk north to the station there (a few minutes.) Take the train to Braubach for Marksburg Castle tour (you can leave bags with the TI office there, as there are no lockers.) Take train back to Arnhem in evening.
This day's train ticket could start in St. Goarshausen and end in Arnhem with a stopover scheduled in Braubach - you might schedule a 3-hour stopover for the tour and a meal.
The morning jaunt to Bacharach or Oberwesel and back to St. Goar requires a ticket of course but ought to be pretty inexpensive - about 7€ round trip for the two of you to Bacharach, less to O'wesel.
St. Goar accommodations: http://www.st-goar.de/612-1-.html
Report Abuse
Of course, if your gas is really free, you should just drive the route above instead. The ferry mentioned is a car ferry. Not sure about parking in Cologne though, and in St. Goar, you'll want to park at your hotel first then take the train to Bingen to begin your cruise.
Report Abuse
Arnhem also has a wonderful zoo: http://www.burgerszoo.com/
And if she likes theme parks, there are plenty of that in the Netherlands. The biggest, most famous and yes also most expensive is de Efteling in Kaatsheuvel. Smaller ones are Hellendoorn in Hellendoorn (they have a new water slide park opening), Ponypark Slagharen in Slagharen, Drievliet near The Hague etc.

It's the one, it's the only, it's the greatest book around — it's "Poopendous," the "number one" book on everything "number two."
Author Artie Bennett brings his scatological tome to the Staten Island Children's Museum on Feb. 9 for Literacy Day.
Whether you like it or not, poop happens, and children want to learn about it. Bennett's newest book teaches kids all about doo-doo, from the droppings of animals big and small, to how humans in different cultures make use of the waste.
So bring your little ones, ages 5 to 7 years old, and share some giggles with Bennett's rhyming rap about ca-ca, doo-doo, flop, guano, scat, and dung.
Artie Bennett at the Staten Island Children's Museum on Feb. 9 from noon to 4 pm. Free with museum admission.
Staten Island Children's Museum [1000 Richmond Terr. at Tysen Street in Randall Manor, (718) 273–2060; www.staten

The Virginia Department of Transportation has a new web tool that shows the status of plowing in northern Virginia neighborhoods.
Once it snows at least two inches, residents can find out the status of plowing in Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William county neighborhoods at http://novasnowplowing.virginia.gov.
Users will be able to find out whether crews are plowing, have plowed or have not started a particular snow map. Street-by-street progress is not shown.
Users can enter an address in northern Virginia to see a color-coded snow map that indicates the plowing status in that area.
Green indicates a neighborhood has been plowed. Yellow means plows are in progress in the neighborhood. Blue indicates plows have not yet started the neighborhood. Gray means the area is not maintained by VDOT.
VDOT is looking for suggestions from the public to make the site better.

Maggie Grace Gets 'Taken' Yet Again
Maggie Grace is about to be Taken again — again.
At least, she's about to return to the Liam Neeson action franchise for the upcoming Taken 3, Deadline reports, reprising her role as Kim Mills. There's no word on the plot, although Neeson is back on board, and Forest Whitaker has a part to play as well.
In other Grace news, the actress has landed a starring role on an untitled new CBS drama focused on the fast-paced and power-hungry world of Wall Street. She'll star opposite Charlie Cox as a legal counsel named Jaime, described as "smart, ambitious, savvy and has a conscience." Basically, all of the things Shannon wasn't on Lost.

Atherton Plastic Surgery offers a variety of facial rejuvenation options, and each procedure is custom tailored to meet your needs. During consultation, Dr. Weston will talk with you about your cosmetic concerns and goals and recommend the best solution for you. Select from the list below to learn more about available treatment options for the cosmetic concerns you'd like Dr. Weston to address.
- Acne scars
- Double chin
- Droopy eyebrows
- Eye wrinkles
- Facial folds
- Facial skin laxity
- Jowls
- Neck bands
- Prominent chin
- Prominent ears
- Sagging eyelids
- Torn or stretched earlobes
- Turkey neck
- Undefined cheeks
- Volume loss
- Weak chin
Brow Lift / Endoscopic Brow Lift
Ideal for droopy eyebrows, horizontal forehead creases and frown lines, a brow lift, or forehead lift, is a procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive brow lift procedure.
Cheek augmentation
Cheek augmentation can increase cheekbone projection, creating greater definition and restoring volume to the cheeks.
Chin Surgery
Chin surgery can correct a weak or undefined chin, as well as an over-projected, prominent chin, by either advancing or reducing the chin. Chin implants are also commonly used to improve chin definition and projection.
Dermabrasion skin resurfacing is an effective treatment to reduce the signs of facial aging and correct skin irregularities, such as acne scars.
Ear Surgery
Ear surgery may involve otoplasty, or ear pinning, to correct prominent or large ears, or earlobe reconstruction for torn, split or stretched earlobes.
Eyelid Surgery
To correct tired eyes marked by crepey, sagging skin and fine lines, eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is usually the most effective option.
For overall facial skin tightening and rejuvenation, facelift surgery provides the best results. A facelift can also correct jowls and deep nasolabial folds, or the creases that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth.
Facial Implants
Facial implants are used to improve and enhance facial contours and symmetry, especially in the chin, cheek and jawline areas.
Fat grafting
Fat grafting allows you to relocate fat from an overabundant body area to your face, effectively correcting wrinkles and restoring volume to the cheeks, under eyes and lips.
Neck lift
Skin laxity in the neck and the dreaded "turkey waddle" can be corrected with neck lift surgery, along with neck bands and wrinkles.
Neck Liposuction
Stubborn fat deposits can be permanently reduced in the neck and chin area with neck liposuction, and chin and jawline definition can also be improved.

There were plenty of organizations to rescue all species of animals from dogs and cats to birds and rabbits. There were no facilities for the intake of reptiles. People who own reptiles as pets had no outlet to relinquish ownership if needed or a place to acquire additional information on care and husbandry. In addition, native species were being destroyed due to lack of education. These three individuals Russ Johnson, Daniel Marchand and Debbie Gibson launched the Phoenix Herpetological Society (PHS). The mission was to have a facility to house reptiles until forever homes could be found and to educate people on responsible pet ownership and the importance on conservation and desert safety.

to estimate the length of a job. When you create a customer:job list report,
you can add columns that show the start date, your projected end date, and the

Beijing Guoan sack coach Zaccheroni
Beijing Guoan has sacked its head coach Alberto Zaccheroni on Thursday after a 0-2 loss to Hebei China Fortune in the Chinese Super League (CSL), according to resources within the club, his assistant Xie Feng would be the interim head coach.
The Italian replaced Gregorio Manzano as the head coach of Beijing Guoan in Janaury, but has endured a tough start in the CSL with only 2 wins in 9 games and ranked 10th place in the 16-team league.
After the 0-2 loss to Hebei China Fortune on Wednesday, some supporters gathered at Beijing's Workers' Stadium players and staff entrance, where they shouted "Zaccheroni out!". It was the second time such protest had happened.
Media reports on Thursday said Zaccheroni had been sacked and the club confiremd to Xinhua in the night that they have discussed the dismissal of Zaccheroni right after the match with China Fortune, but there are some follow-up work should be done so the club's official statement has not yet been released. The Italian's assistant Xie Feng will be the team's interim head coach before the new coach being appointed.
Zaccheroni established himself as one of the world-class coaches in 1997/98 season when he led Udinese to the 2nd place in Italian Seria A. Then in the next season, he won the Seria A champion with AC Milan which was the highlight of his coaching career. He has also won the Asian Cup with Japanese men's national team in 2011.

Intrinsic Value of Sustainability in Higher Education
ARAMARK's Leadership Series Tackles the Role of Higher Education in Forwarding Sustainability
Sep 06, 2013, 07:00 ET from ARAMARK
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ARAMARK, a global leader delivering food, facilities and uniform services, is pleased to announce the release of the 2013-2014 edition of Presidential Perspectives. Now in its eighth year, Presidential Perspectives is a collection of 10 thought provoking chapter essays authored by college and university presidents. This year's theme of "Elevating Sustainability Through Academic Leadership," addresses how colleges and universities can support environmental stewardship initiatives while incorporating sustainability into their curriculum.
"America's colleges and universities are responsible for the majority of the scientific discovery and technological invention that has advanced sustainability science," explains Dr. Michael M. Crow, President, Arizona State University, and author of the edition's Foreword. "For academic institutions, fostering teaching and research that advances sustainability thus requires new institutional arrangements. But, more broadly, universities should be at the vanguard of producing societal transformation and solutions to the challenges that confront humanity."
In addition to remaining competitive academically, today's higher education institutions must also appeal to today's socially active students and ensure that they are providing a variety of sustainability programs as well as implementing environmental stewardship practices on their campuses.
The first chapter essay of the series, entitled "Liberating Liberal Learning: Integrating Sustainability in the Curriculum," authored by Dr. David Shi, President Emeritus, Furman University, explains that "education for sustainability involves helping students imagine—and eventually enable—a better life for all by taking the long view about what really matters." When evaluating the impact of sustainability on higher education, Dr. Shi asserts that its reach goes far beyond the institution, the campus community or the individual student.
"Ultimately, sustainability is a strategic way of enhancing the interactive dynamics of people and place over time," writes Dr. Shi. "It requires balancing the growth in human population and societal expectations with the earth's limited resources and carrying capacity. What could be more important than for students to develop the competencies necessary for creating a more sustainable civilization?"
Additional topical essays featured in the Presidential Perspectives series include preparing students for careers in sustainability, implementing environmentally responsible programs and practices on campus, the future of sustainability and its impact on higher education and more.
"It is easy for sustainability to become lost in the higher education dialogue given the myriad of other data, financial challenges, and public scrutiny," said Dr. Scott D. Miller, president of Bethany College, who along with Dr. Marylouise Fennell, senior counsel for the Council of Independent Colleges and past president of Carlow University, serve as executive editors of Presidential Perspectives. "An institution's commitment to sustainability may seem like a luxury in and of itself at a time when higher education finds itself defending the value of a college degree; however, perhaps it is precisely because of the current economic environment that the tenets and impacts of sustainability deserve a second look".
Contributing thought leaders for this year's Presidential Perspectives include:
- Dr. Michael M. Crow, President, Arizona State University
- Dr. David E. Shi, President Emeritus, Furman University
- Dr. Judith Ramaley, President Emerita, Winona State University
- Dr. Mark Huddleston, University of New Hampshire
- Dr. Wim Wiewel, Portland State University
- Gloria Cordes Larson, Bentley College
- Dr. Jonathan C. Gibralter, Frostburg State University
- Dr. Harry Lee Williams, Delaware State University
- Dr. Theodora J. Kalikow, University of Southern Maine
- Dr. Paul W. Ferguson, University of Maine
- David F. Hales, President Emeritus, College of the Atlantic
Beginning in September, one chapter essay of Presidential Perspectives will be released each month on www.presidentialperspectives.org. Current and past chapters also can be viewed on this site or by visiting www.aramarkhighered.com.

Regulation News from Finance Magnates: MiFID II Timestamping: White Elephant or White Knight?
If the financial industry looks at MiFID II timestamping with fresh eyes, it might just find that it can deliver powerful business benefits.
A major shake-up in employment across financial services can be expected thanks to advanced technologies like machine learning, according to a high profile report presented at this week's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Ian Salmon is a regulation expert who currently sits on the FIX Community MiFID clock sync panel and works with networks performance solution provider, Accedian. In the past, Ian has headed up global marketing for ITRS, and been Head of the MiFID programme and Global Product Marketing Director for Fidessa.
The narrative surrounding MiFID II so far hasn't exactly been a positive one and few in the financial services industry have cast ESMA as the hero of the story. While the industry accepts the need for changes to certain practices, MiFID II represents the most far-reaching change ever to hit the industry in one fell swoop. Change of that magnitude is scary; it's also potentially expensive and difficult. So some trepidation is understandable, however, is it possible we're telling the wrong story? Could it be that, if approached holistically, some of the changes mandated by this impending regulation could actually result, through 'unintended consequences', in positives for the business?

A somber event also will be a celebration when the 10th annual candle light vigil, "Remembering Those We've Loved and Lost," is held at 5 p.m. Saturday at The Promenade mall.
"People seem to look forward to it every year," said organizer Linda Mejia.
As does Mejia, a Temecula resident and code enforcement officer in Murrieta.
"It's just awesome the memories I have from every one of them," she said.
People who have lost loved ones to illness, accidents, combat, suicide or to any other cause are invited to attend the vigil and light a candle in their honor.
"When we first started, people used to think it's about losing a child," said Mejia, whose son died of cancer 13 years ago. "No. This is for anyone who wants to take that time to remember their loved one."
It is scheduled in December because the holidays can be an especially difficult time when loved ones have died.
"The holidays go by and people think the typical things at Christmastime, shopping, decorating, presents,'" Mejia said. "But the awareness is there that there are families and people not in that mode. Lives change forever with the loss of a loved one."
Crowds have ranged from 100 people to an estimated 800 following the attack of Sept. 11, 2001, Mejia said.
Mejia expects a large group Saturday to hear a talk from author Don Piper, who wrote "90 Minutes in Heaven."
Participants are encouraged to bring nonperishable foods to benefit local food pantries, and stuffed animals to benefit local children's charities.
Mejia's memory of the inaugural event is that 400 stuffed animals were collected and donated to children facing crisis.
It's suggested participants bring chairs and dress warmly for the vigil, which will be held in the plaza of the mall.
The event will include music, but the highlight is the candle lighting.
"When you light that candle and feel that flame, you know that fire is forever lit," she said. "Lighting that candle is very special."
Candlelight vigil
The 10th annual "Remembering Those We've Loved and Lost" candlelight vigil is being held this weekend.
-- When: 5 p.m. Saturday
-- Where: The outside plaza at The Promenade mall in Temecula, 40820 Winchester Road
-- Information: 951-775-5163

Nicki Wig
By Sami81
from Undisclosed
The wig is cute and combs out great. However, the pink part of the wig rubbed off all over my outfit and chest and it looked like I had a rash. It did come off once I scrubbed it, but I would not wear this wig with anything light in color or if you wear a top that does not cover your arms and chest.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Council support for property tax boost dwindles
The Spokane City Council on Monday will decide if it will ask voters to approve a property tax increase to help balance the city's budget next year.
At a meeting earlier this week, there appeared to be little, if any, support on the council for the tax proposal, and council members Nancy McLaughlin and Steve Corker argued that it should be pulled from the agenda. But other council members said they preferred to hold Monday's hearing to hear from the public before making a final decision.
City administrators say there's a $6.6 million deficit that must be dealt with to balance the 2012 budget. Spokane Mayor Mary Verner said earlier this month that she opposes asking voters for the higher property tax and prefers raising hotel taxes, diverting money from red light camera tickets and other measures to balance the budget.
Earlier this year, some council members expressed willingness to consider asking voters for a property tax increase for libraries. But interest has fallen after Verner criticized property tax increases as a budget solution and after a city analysis showed that a raise in property taxes (called a levy lid lift) may not produce as much as expected if property values continue to fall.

Gulf Arab monarchies will hold their next summit on December 30 and 31 in Bahrain, a government spokesman announced Wednesday.
The five other states in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) -- Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates -- had all agreed the date, the spokesman told the official Gulf News Agency.
The GCC has since 1999 held two summits each year, the first consultative and the second decision-making.
The last gathering took place in Muscat in April when the council called on Iran to resolve a territorial dispute with the United Arab Emirates through dialogue and said it was keen to strengthen relations with Tehran -- MANAMA (AFP)

Thirteen area softball players were among the 455 that received all-state designation by the North Carolina Softball Coaches Association.
In Class 1A, Cherryville�s Paige Wyont (senior pitcher/first baseman) and Macey McSwain (senior first baseman/pitcher) were named all-state, as were Lincoln Charter�s Emily Kenley (sophomore pitcher), Josie Weber (junior pitcher) and Sarah Kenley (senior catcher).
In Class 2A, North Lincoln and West Lincoln each placed three on the team. North Lincoln�s selections were Payton Bruce (senior third baseman), Hollyn Franklin (junior pitcher) and Courtney Trickle (sophomore catcher). West Lincoln�s selections were Rylee Marsh (senior pitcher/first baseman), Madison Ferguson (sophomore first baseman/pitcher/designated player) and Brittany Ormand (senior catcher).
In Class 3A, Ashbrook�s Dee Dee Wallace (sophomore second baseman/first baseman) and Marah Branham (freshman catcher/third baseman) made the list.
The NCSCA selected 74 all-state players in Class 1A, 136 in 2A, 109 in 3A and 136 in 4A. Association members and non-member coaches are allowed to nominate players for the awards but not every coach participates, according to the NCSCA website. The website also states that there is no arbitrary cutoff for the number of players receiving the award. Between 3 and 4 percent of the state�s high school softball players receive all-state recognition, the website said.

My mate had 9 bikes and his motorbike stolen this weekend, he spent some time recently securing the garage after we had a break in.
Obviously he's totally gutted. I'll be doing what I can in terms of searching, and he'll be letting people know too.
What went:
Black Giant Anthem X1 large, Fox 100 forks, Hope pro2s on Crest Rims, KCNC seat post in red
Red Giant Anthem X3 large
Black Santa Cruz Heckler, Chris King Wheels and Reverb
Koga CX
Koga Signature Road bike
Koga Carbolite Alfine hub
An ally HT
Giant Anthem X4 small
Kawasaki ZX6R, green and black with a number 58 on the front and back.
If you see anything, reply to my email address in my profile.
This has to stop, someone like my mate works incredibly hard to pay for his kit, he trains really hard and has done really well in races too; just for someone to come along who doesn't deserve anything to steal his hard earned property.

The birth story of Kendra Villanueva's baby girl is so crazy and wild that it's hard to top this one. Statistically, the chances of something similar happening to another woman is so low that we probably won't hear of it again in our lifetimes. As reported by KRQE-TV, the Albuquerque, New Mexico woman gave birth after she was struck by lightning.
With just two weeks left to go until she hit her due date, Villanueva and her partner were out in a front yard watching Fourth of July fireworks when they were both hit.
"We were actually going inside because we hear the lightning and the thunder. The next thing we know, we woke up on the ground and everybody was just trying to keep us calm," said Ian Gordon, the baby's father.
Thankfully, firefighters arrived to the scene within minutes and rushed them to the hospital, where Villanueva underwent an emergency C-section. The baby girl, who they've named Kimberly Samantha Rose Gordon, remains under observation at the hospital but is expected to be okay.
While mom and dad suffered injuries from the lighting strike, his eardrum was blown out and both face long-term muscle spasms, they're thankful that they're all alive. The extraordinary turn of events has even given them inspiration for a nickname for their baby girl — "little Flash Gordon."
Little Flash Gordon may only be a few days old but she's certainly beaten the odds already. A doctor who treated the family said that there's only ever been 11 recorded incidents of a pregnant woman being struck by lighting anywhere and only about half of those babies survived.
Imagine the birthday story she'll get to tell her friends when she grows up! All the little boys will definitely probably think she's way cool for having survived being struck by lightning, that's for sure.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Maybe that nightmare in Seattle was a turning point after all.
And it has nothing to do with Lance Easley, Golden Tate, M.D. Jennings and those shouts of disbelief at television screens inside the visitors' locker room.
In the first half of that Sept. 24 game, Aaron Rodgers was sacked four times more (eight) than Cedric Benson ran the ball (two). Green Bay tried to spread the field and paid the price. For this team, spreading the field with three, four, five receivers doesn't quite have a 100 percent success rates. Defenses are ready.
So as this year progressed, coach Mike McCarthy and Green Bay adjusted. McCarthy has caught flak for being stubborn with the pass. Yet over the past two months, he has stayed remarkably patient with the run.
McCarthy dismisses the theory of forced "balance." But there's no denying the 2012 Packers have been more committed to the run than the 2011 Packers.
"I don't just sit there and click it once when we run and click it once when we pass," McCarthy said Sunday after Green Bay's 24-10 win over Minnesota on Saturday. "That's what you guys do. That's 'balance.' That's not the way we play the game. (Defenses) have a little bit to do with it: DuJuan Harris has something to do with it. I'm excited about what he's given us.
"We always start with the run. Our first meeting in the morning will be the run game, and that has never changed. It's important. At the end of the day, we're going to do what we need to do to get that ball in the end zone."
And that map this season includes a committed running game.
At the NFL scouting combine in February, McCarthy said the Packers would change the way they run the football. Nearly a full year later, Green Bay hopes that renewed focus pans out. When McCarthy says part of it is what defenses are doing, he's referencing the Cover-2 looks. When defenses sit back with players in coverage, the Packers need to generate a running game.
To make defenses respect the run, to take pressure off Aaron Rodgers.
True, Rodgers had another MVP-caliber season with 4,295 yards, 39 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. Yet last year's playoff loss — with a friendly reminder in Seattle — was proof that the Packers needed to win in different ways offensively.
The 2011 NFC Championship was a bloodbath. Commitment to the run game is one solution.
"If you're running the ball and you're having a little bit of success, you get into a groove and you get more confidence running the ball," offensive coordinator Tom Clements said. "It has helped to slow down the pass rush, so we're a little more well-rounded than we had been earlier. So it's a benefit."
McCarthy is no longer going through an entire half with his starting running back receiving only two carries. And he's no longer calling seven straight passes with a 21-3 lead as he did at Indianapolis.
Since that loss to the Colts, a Packers running back has received at least 13 carries in 11 of 12 games. He's letting running backs — be it Benson, James Starks, Alex Green, Ryan Grant and now Harris — get into a rhythm and they've responded. The five combined for 1,251 yards and six touchdowns in the regular season. A year ago, Starks, the starter, maxed out at 13 attempts.
It's one way to dull a pass rush, to zap the impact the 49ers' Aldon Smith and Justin Smith can have on a game.
Harris only rushed for 47 yards in Saturday night's win over Minnesota. But his 17 carries also meant the Vikings' pass rush couldn't tee off all night. The infrastructure this season seems to be in place to run the ball more in January.
Then again, nobody's doing cartwheels after the Packers managed only 2.5 yards per carry against Minnesota. Half the battle is a commitment. And McCarthy hasn't wavered for three months.
The other half is production. San Francisco and the NFL's fourth-ranked run defense will be a tall task.
This postseason, left guard T.J. Lang doesn't want Aaron Rodgers to shoulder too much responsibility.
"You can't put that much pressure on one guy to go out there and try to win games for you," Lang said after Saturday's game. "Our offense, we've shown that when we can't run the ball and we're forced to pass the ball all the time, teams can drop seven guys into coverage and they can be tough on us."

After blaming users, besmirching competitors and finally offering a free iPhone 4 case to appease customers, rumor has it that Apple could relent in the biggest way: revising the antenna on the iPhone 4.
Apple's company line for a while has been that it will look into the signal attenuation — the disruption of the iPhone 4's signal strength when held a certain way — and decide what to do about it. That "what to do" could be revising the antenna architecture, according to an executive with Mexican mobile carrier Telcel. The company man says that it could happen as soon as September 30th.
It sounds like the executive was just being upfront and trying to calm worried consumers, according to Ars:
While announcing the launch of the iPhone 4 in Mexico, Telcel's Director of Value Added Services, Marco Quatorze, told CanalMX that initial units would exhibit the same antenna problems as those released so far in the US. He also said that Apple would be providing free cases to all iPhone 4 buyers who request one from its website.
However, Quatorze also said that after September 30--the date Jobs promised an update on the antenna issue and the date that the free case program expires--Apple will begin supplying revised iPhone 4 devices that "do not have the reception malfunction."
This isn't standard operating procedure, not by a long shot. Having an executive stand up and say there's a better unit on the way is sure to bite into the iPhone 4's early sales in Mexico. Telcel did add that early adopters would have an option to trade up, but words like this makes the current iPhone 4 nothing more but a placeholder.

Terry Lawless dies.
2 comments:

There was also a very good tribute to Lawless in the Hackney Gazette of 31/12/09. A whole page from boxing writer Len Whaley, plus quotes from Jimmy Tibbs, Frank Bruno and Jim Watt.
Watt in particular argues be only won a world title due to Lawless, and Whaley made the interesting point that many did not expect Lawless to succeed in boxing management as he had not been a successful boxer (he was a former clerk on the docks).
The article does not say what became of his old gym, the Royal Oak in Canning Town, but I think we can probably assume it is now yuppie flats or an institution for religious whackos?

Six-year-old Sophia Resti was born with a congenital bone disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease. She requires oxygen to help her underdeveloped lungs breathe and uses an adaptive stroller to get around. She learned to sit up only about a year ago.
Yet despite her numerous challenges, Sophia rises above it all. She recently underwent two surgeries to strengthen her legs with rods and is starting to bear weight on them. This is a giant step for Sophia and the entire Resti family. "Some doctors said she wasn't going to make it. She has proven a lot of people wrong," her mom said. "We call her our sunshine and she truly brightens our world."
To help her meet these incredible milestones, Sophia has been receiving home healthcare services from St. Mary's Healthcare System for Children since she was a baby. Her nurse coordinates her care to make sure she receives the services she needs. Sophia regularly receives a complement of physical, occupational, and speech therapies at home or at school.
The sunny Sophia attends kindergarten, loves music and all things sparkly— to match her sparkling personality.
"She is only 2 feet tall with a larger than life personality," beams her mom. For her indomitable spirit, Sophia was chosen to be a Grand Marshal for the 2013 Walk for St. Mary's Kids.

Hello everyone,
I would like to get some advice from experienced users (professionals or regulars) in PCB Design flow, especially in complex PCB boards.
I already made PCBs, following the "basic" design flow as shown in this picture :
But now I'm starting to make larger PCBs which are more complex, and I have some questions in the PCB Design step (red rectangle of the previous picture), especially in the "Trace Routing".
For example, I draw the schematics of a complex board and do the simulations, then I design the Layout to finally have something like this :
And I wonder to know the "Correct Flow" to design the layout correctly :
After placing the components, should I start with routing the "signals nets", and then routing the "Power nets VCC_5V, VCC_3.3V, ...", and finally do a ground plane with all GNDs ?
Or is it necessary to route all the nets at the same time, hoping having something correct ?
Thanks for your help !
Hello, The biggest challenge most PCB designers face on larger boards that contain many nets is laying out the board so there is minimal crossing of ratsnest. I have designed many boards both large and small and typically placment of components to minimize crossing nets is about 60% of the work load.
The actual routing is the easy part really. It is kind of like joing the dots in an old game. The routing of any net can go very smooth if the placement is done well.
For power and ground nets you have to consider a little more. Looking at your design you should consider how many layers the board will span. If it is a 4 layer board you could use the inner layers for power planes or trace routing too so in general the routing of power and grounds on larger boards comes down to how many layers the design will need to route all the traces.
On a multi layer design with inner planes available most designers will fan out component leads for power and grounds and then seed a suitable via to the planes. When all the power and grounds are routed in normal routing of the signal nets would be the next step.
There is not really a right and wrong way to go about it, Key thing would be to look at the placement and see what will work best.
Main things to consider in advance are.

Hope this helps
