Mom Confessions
July 25, 2013 at 10:46 PM
On my son would be manning up to it for sure
July 25, 2013 at 10:46 PMI would remind him of his biological father and how he made him feel. I'm sure that'd be enough for him.
by AnonymousJuly 25, 2013 at 10:46 PM
If any of my boys got a girl preg she would move in with us! No way any gran baby of mine would be raised in any type of unfit situation!
July 25, 2013 at 10:47 PM
I agree with you. I don't see any other option..
July 25, 2013 at 10:47 PMIf I had a son, and he got a girl pregnant he would man up and take care of his responsibilities.
July 25, 2013 at 10:48 PMHe'd be at her becking(sp) call to his abilities that woman having had a child to strand his gf to be alone is a bitch
by Mom2five87July 25, 2013 at 10:48 PM
Um.. yeah. Of course. And any woman who wouldn't is just as much of a scum bag as her dead beat son.
July 25, 2013 at 10:48 PM
yep theres no way out of it
July 25, 2013 at 10:49 PM
My son would be manning up. I wouldn't pay for many things if any, but I'd be making him either get a job or "earn" money from me. I'd be getting to know this girl and trying to be supportive and friendly so I could have a relationship with the grandchild, and I'd be trying to get to know her family, since for a few years we'd probably all need to cooperate. My son would pay CS, even if it was only a couple dollars he'd pay what he could.

Maryland's Nick Faust hasn't played point guard regularly since he was 10 or 11 years old. But asked what has been the biggest challenge in making the transition from high school to college basketball, the 6-foot-6 freshman didn't mention his myriad new responsibilities or the pressure of playing an unfamiliar role in the Terps' starting lineup.
"I would definitely say stamina," said Faust, who was converted from shooting guard to point guard in October, after sophomore Pe'Shon Howard fractured his left foot during workouts. "You can't get winded. You have to keep pushing through."

IBM, Microsoft and BEA Systems on Monday will release a trio of proposed Web services specifications designed to answer nagging questions around reliability, integrity and business process workflow that are swirling around the emerging technology.
The highlight is a specification called the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4Ws), a workflow language that describes the number of Web services that need to be executed, the order in which they are executed and the type of data they share.
The specification is a combination of IBM's Web Services Flow Language (WSFL) and Microsoft's Xlang, two formerly competing efforts to create a workflow standard for Web services.
The trio of vendors also is introducing WS-Coordination, which offers the reliability that all the actions of a distributed application have executed as planned, and WS-Transaction, which rides on top of the WS-Coordination and ensures that a transaction is completed fully or that it is rolled back if all the actions are not executed.
The three specifications will work in harmony to solve the workflow issues involved in connecting and executing a number of Web services that may be running on disparate platforms internally or across multiple enterprises especially in an electronic commerce scenario.
Web services technology is sorely lacking a set of standards that would allow enterprises to go beyond the simple integration of two systems. What is needed is a sophisticated merging of a number of Web services to support a business transaction such as coordinating the booking of an airline flight, a hotel and a car rental into a single itinerary.
"We think these specifications will significantly increase the number of business problems that enterprises can solve with Web services," says Karla Norsworthy, director of dynamic e-business technologies for IBM. "You can model business processes that include a number of Web services and then you can bring in a level of reliability and dependability with WS-Coordination and WS-Transaction. People need to know that a whole business process executed. "
Norsworthy says a key to BPEL4WS is that it is an executable language, which means it can be used to not only write business processes but also to execute them. It also will allow developers to publish their business processes so other applications can call and execute those processes as part of their own workflow.
In terms of execution, BPEL4WS would allow a business process to interpret the data returned by any of the Web services in the workflow and act on that data. For example, if a business process was used to book an airline flight for someone arriving on a Tuesday morning and leaving on a Tuesday night, that workflow could look at that data and know not to execute the Web service that books a hotel for that traveler.
This is the second set of significant specifications IBM and Microsoft has teamed up to create. In April, the pair along with VeriSign developed WS-Security, a specification for securely exchanging Web services messages. The specification was recently accepted by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) as a proposed standard.
The latest standards effort on business process workflow will intersect with that work. "People writing business process workflow using these new standards may want to incorporate WS-Security," says Steven VanRoekel, director of Web services marketing for Microsoft. "It will all be designed to work together in the same architecture. It's all joining together to solve the plumbing problems that exist in Web services."
The business process workflow effort of IBM, Microsoft and BEA, however, is not the only work being done in this area.
Sun recently introduced its Web Services Choreography Interface (WSCI), which it co-developed with BEA. WSCI on Thursday was recognized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as an official submission that it will publish, but WSCI has not been placed on a standards track.
Also, the ebXML specification, a set of XML-based definitions for electronic transactions that is being developed by OASIS, has its own protocols for business process workflow.
"We see a need for convergence of work within standards bodies to reduce the complexity of Web services," says Ed Julson, group-marketing manager for XML and Web services at Sun. "The fact that IBM and Microsoft have combined their work [around workflow] is a good step."
Julson says if the duo's most recent work on business process is presented to a standards body and is unencumbered by royalty fees then Sun would consider supporting it just like it did with WS-Security.
"The work that was done on WS-Security was a good example for the industry, and if this most recent effort happens that way there is a good chance that Sun would support it," says Julson. He added that the decision obviously would hinge on the specifics of the specification, which Sun has yet to see.
IBM, Microsoft and BEA said they intend to eventually submit their work to a standards body, although they did not say which one.
The specifications will be published on the vendors' Web sites on Monday.

We live in a world where consumers are meant to operate free markets according to their own preferences, and that process keeps our world going—and supposedly efficient. It keeps us all happy because customers are always right. But all large public companies have a dominant responsibility to their shareholders. The economist J K Galbraith argued many years ago that commercial investment in product formulation and development must therefore deliver an adequate return and that this can often mean that it becomes essential to manipulate markets, even in the face of informed consumer preferences. Other economists, however, who like to believe that rational and exogenous consumer behaviour dominates markets, largely tended to ignore this argument, which is still regarded as marginal. It is not: the methods that industry uses to manipulate markets have become increasingly refined and development continues apace.
Market manipulation
Galbraithian arguments have huge implications now for better health in the longer term.1 Modern industry has become increasingly technical and sophisticated, which …

Gilmore recommends a delay of 10 months to avoid risking the occurrence of a serious mishap. But Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas Owen and Navy Vice Admiral David Venlet have rejected the recommendation wary of additional delays. Incomplete flight manuals, an untested ejection seat and a faulty generator are just a few of the issues at hand, according to the Wired article.

Buhl Community Recreation Center will be reopening its swimming pool with a colorful splash on Labor Day weekend.
That's because the pool and the natatorium enclosing it have been cleaned, scraped and repainted.
State prison inmates did much of the work that Buhl Rec staff couldn't do on their own and they scraped and painted at no cost to the non-profit community center, said Tony Rogers, executive director.
"We have a maintenance director and one part-time guy who just wouldn't be able to handle a huge undertaking like painting the pool," he said. "We reached out to the state Department of Corrections because they have painting crews they make available to non-profit organizations."
The department's Community Work Program assembles teams of inmates for public service jobs such as painting as well as picking up litter and cleaning up after storms.
Buhl Rec staffers spent several days draining the 135,000-gallon pool. They power-washed it before the crew of painters from the State Correctional Institution in Findley Township began scraping the walls of the natatorium and pool that were last painted six years ago.
"We're talking about $17,000 worth of work," Rogers said. "It was very useful because we try to keep our membership fees at a reasonable cost to the community we serve."
The painting crew was made up most days of eight or nine young men who were monitored by two guards as they worked.
"We felt that it was safe and a resource that was a great asset not only for our members," Rogers said. "I witnessed these guys working and they were happy to do the work they were doing. They had all earned the opportunity to spend the day outside of being incarcerated and giving back to the community."
Rogers said the painting crew expected to finish its work today.

Martin Sheen will reprise his role as Ben Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the actor said during an interview on Irish television yesterday.
Talking on RTE Television, Sheen said, "They've called me back, I don't know what the part is going to be, but I'm going to be 'Uncle Ben' once again in Spider-Man next year. We shoot it in February."
Of course, director Marc Webb revealed on the commentary track for The Amazing Spider-Man Blu-ray and DVD that Sheen had enjoyed the character and wanted to come back.
Sheen's son, comedian Charlie Sheen, also recently revealed that he once tried to get a Spider-Man movie off the ground with himself in the starring role.
The footage of Sheen discussing The Amazing Spider-Man on The Late Late Show isn't online yet, but below you'll find a moment during the Sheen interview when an audience member stares strangely into the camera; a handful of fans had reposted the video as "the creepiest audience member ever," and in response, RTE actually posted the moment separately themselves.
Now that's a network who understand how the Internet works!

David is a government contracts attorney on Husch Blackwell's Technology, Manufacturing & Transportation team. He represents manufacturing and technology clients, as well as several transportation clients, including those in the air, trucking and logistics sectors. A special focus of David's practice is contracts awarded by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). As an independent federal agency, the USPS has its own procurement rules. Well-versed in this unique environment, David regularly advises clients on a variety of issues, including selection and award, protests and disagreements, contract administration, contract interpretation, subcontracting, compliance, changes, equitable adjustments, claims and disputes, false claims, government investigations, due diligence, audits, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, termination and debarment. He also serves as counsel to the National Star Route Mail Contractors Association (NSRMCA), for which he writes a monthly column on postal contracting.
David regularly litigates claims, protests and other matters before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (USCFC), the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA), the USPS supplier disagreement resolution official and various U.S. district courts. With the government intensifying its efforts to find fraud under federal contracts, David frequently assists contractors facing False Claims Act investigations and litigation. He represents clients ranging in size from Fortune 100 companies to sole proprietorships.
David's notable work includes:
David commenced his legal practice in 1982 as an honors attorney in the Office of Contracts and Property Law at USPS headquarters. For six years he advised postal officials on procurement matters, litigated contract claims and handled agency protests. After entering private practice and representing clients in standard federal agency procurements, David realized how vastly those rules differed from the Postal Service's procurement environment. To help contractors succeed within this special environment, he developed three popular training courses on postal contracting. More than 1,000 contractors have attended these seminars. Since 2001, David has annually compiled and published a list of the Postal Service's top suppliers. Recognized as an authority on postal contracting, he is highly sought-after by the media on postal procurement topics.

#1: my bed in my lovely Nourse triple. The heating is wanky such that sometimes the room feels like a jungle and sometimes the heater is just blowing cold air at us, but room draw lottery numbers for next year come out tomorrow and I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to live in this hall again next year...
#2: my desk. My excuse is that I just took an exam and that organization becomes a secondary concern when you're busy, as does laundry. Notice the two free frisbees Carleton has given me on the right side of the middle shelf.
I don't put much effort into decorating my room--my bulletin board is about the extent of it. It has important quotes like one from my psychology prof ("you're in a giant operant box, my friend!"--she said this to my psych of learning class recently and I'm still getting over it) or from a high school math teacher ("there's no such thing as stupid, just lazy"). There are pictures of friends from home and here, a doll my friend here from Russia gave me, a desk lamp from a graduated senior who also gave me all of his paper clips, hot cheetos and gummi worms (again, can you tell I have a few exams this week?), assorted memories, and no less than four organic chemistry textbooks.
#3: You can always find me in a study room on the south side of the third floor of the library on Sundays and most weekdays, complete with hot tea, an orgo textbook, and (often) my boyfriend the Classics scholar. These rooms are well heated and generally quiet with low foot traffic, since your view of most of the floor is blocked by these moving bookshelves. Those who don't frequent the libe won't find this side of the floor anytime soon...I hope.
Honorable mention: the dining hall--one of the places in my life where I feel like I have a good amount of control over how things go. Line cook Nathan can always be counted on to be grumbling loudly over by the grill about how the students (student workers and student eaters) are getting him behind, while Ben on the far end is constantly running out of garlic breadsticks or whatever the student favorite of the night is, and Erica and Ben on the other side are always good-naturedly willing to help me find the elusive waffle batter or decide whether to humor the clamoring students by opening another tub of ice cream close to closing time.

StarPoint Screening Relies on Managed Hosting Provider INetU to Eliminate Downtime
INetU met all of StarPoint Screening's requirements of service, reliability, speed, integrity and price.
Allentown, PA., 03/22/2011
Tenant and employee credit report and background screening provider
StarPoint Screening
has moved its entire business server infrastructure to INetU for the online company's managed hosting needs. INetU was selected to eliminate downtime through its service level agreement and fully managed, highly accessible custom hosting platform.
"We were experiencing significant pain points due to the downtime of our previous hosting provider," said Kelly Gontarski, owner and president of StarPoint Screening. "Every minute we were down resulted in lost revenue for us. After interviewing many companies, INetU met all our requirements of service, reliability, speed, integrity and price."
To fix StarPoint Screening's chief concern, downtime, INetU now manages all servers that were previously run internally. Frequent downtime is an unacceptable occurrence for an online company and StarPoint Screening chose to alleviate this issue through INetU's service level agreement of 100-percent network uptime and team of system administrators. INetU monitors the server environment 24/7/365 to achieve its goal of eliminating downtime and ensuring StarPoint Screening's website is up and running at all times.

Map: How Travelers, Expatriates And Service Members Spend Thanksgiving
By editor
Originally published on Fri February 15, 2013 8:52 am
Thanksgiving has all the makings of a uniquely American tradition: parades, football, pumpkin pie, roasted turkey. But for Americans living in other countries, observing the traditional way can be a challenge. We asked those who will be abroad this Thanksgiving how they'll be spending the holiday — and what changes they'll have to make to their celebrations. We received more than 1,200 responses from our Facebook followers. Some of the most common issues? Finding an inexpensive turkey or locating canned pumpkin. Here's a sample of what you said. Responses have been edited for space.

2012 Suzuki SX4 Base AWD Crossover w/ Tech Pkg Review
|by marccinvt
"Terrific Car"
I love this car! It's good on gas, allows you to turn of the AWD during the summer and just run on front wheel drive, saving on gas. It's awesome in the snow. Unfortunately I need something that can tow a trailer and two snowmobiles.

Dollar General hits it out of the park in 2Q
Retail Editor 8 -- Home Textiles Today, August 31, 2010
Goodlettesville, Tenn. - The home textiles department is among the areas where Dollar General is experiencing an uptick in sales, executives said while commenting on the retailer's record second quarter performance today.
Fatter gross margins - up 101 basis points in 2Q to 232% of sales - help boost net income for the quarter ended July 30 by 51% to $141.2 million, or 41 cents per share.
Executives also credited the retailer's EDLP strategy for the gain.
"We avoided sweeping reactionary moves and instead only made changes that were strategic and sensible. That approach paid off for us with productive sales without margin sacrifice," said Rick Dreiling, chairman and ceo.
Sales rose 10.8% to $3.21 billion during the quarter, with comps up 5.1% on top of an 8.6% bump in comps in the year-ago period.
As many other retailers have noted in reporting quarterly results, Dreiling cautioned the combination of unemployment and under-employment is keeping consumers on edge and retailers pummeling prices.
"Consumers continue to experience significant challenges, and the value messages from all retailers were highly promotional. This has been one of the toughest competitive environments I can remember," he said.
Nonetheless, Dollar General raised its earnings outlook for the full year today to $1.68 to $1.74 per share. Previously, the company had expected EPS of $1.62 to $1.69. The retailer anticipates sales will rise 8.5% to 10.5% for the year.
Dollar General plans to step up its store opening program in the second half, with about 600 new units and 500 remodels/relocations.
The remodel - which includes raising shelf profiles by 7 inches to expand merchandise offerings - started rolling out to the domestics department, among others, during the second quarter.

Place-based knowledge is an emerging new paradigm for engaging the whole-of-community in meeting the challenge of biospheric change. In opposition to discipline-based research programs, which seek to offer top-down general solutions, it promotes place-based 'perceptual' knowledge. This knowledge is eclectic, flexibly deployed and relational.
Through the study of the immediate environment, place-based knowledge promotes a spiralling outward array of connections that connect the local to the global. Its mandate is to create the space and time where perceptual immersion in the local environment can engender intellectual appreciation of, and emotional identification with, the environment as a whole. It recognises that quantitative, empirically-based information needs to be embedded in qualitative experience if it is to lead to action. Sustaining our environment is inseparable from sustaining ourselves. Research should be linked to recreation; and both should be sources of respite and self-healing.
A primary goal of place-based education is community-building. In contrast to old land management policies, place-based planning recognises that places are relationships not resources. They derive their value from the stories they harbour. They are or should be opportunities for communities with attachments to them to meet, to cooperate and to create new scenarios for their own futures. Attachment-building occurs virtually as well as through experiential exposure to the place. Indeed, it is a key feature of place-based knowledge that it locates the local within a network of places, communities and other agencies whose common interest is the procurement of sustainable environmental and societal evolution.
The name of the project refers respectively to lava flows, water flows and language flows and to the problem they pose of description (or catchment). The proposed region of the project is the town of Camperdown, the surrounding volcanic plains and the (roughly) north-south Mount Emu Creek/Hopkins River.
The object of thinking geomorphology (or landscape values), water passages and attachments and extinct language flows together is to apply the principles of place-based learning to the practical challenge of defining 'sense of place'. It is understood that 'place' is a highly problematic descriptor of belonging, particularly in a colonial and postcolonial context.
The working hypothesis is that 'place' is better thought of in terms of rates of exchange: the interest attributed to certain aggregations of natural and human capital is a product of creative investment and ongoing cultural production. The processes that broadly underwrite the 'knowledge economy' and more importantly incubate senses of belongings involve a poetic capacity to think - to narrate - different phenomena within a shared domain of immanence or becoming. In contrast with teleological understandings of place, community and wellbeing, that understand these instrumentally - therefore amenable to top-down planning-place-based learning models argue for the heuristic value of places. That is, places as intensifications of flows, pose the problem of catchment, tracing its process and passage rather than standing as repositories or destinations.

All Verizon FiOS promotion codes and promotions are collected, analyzed and then posted on here as soon as they become available. You should always look for a Verizon FiOS promotion code or available deals for the broadband service, because you will miss out on great bonus savings otherwise. Verizon Broadband offers some of the best promotions on internet, phone, and cable TV bundles in the country and if there are any FiOS promotion codes currently available for customers to use, you will see them listed here.
Whether you are an existing or new customer, you should read through and see for yourself whether you can use a Verizon promo code to get a discounted rate on your internet or cable TV service today. Make sure you commit and sign up if you find a deal you like though because Verizon promotions expire and you don't want to regret after the fact. The offers below are last updated in March 2014.
Most Popular Verizon Promo Code and Online Only Promotional Offers
A deal worth considering is the current FiOS triple play bundle promotion. The monthly price is $79.99 for 2 years, but the extras make this deal pretty sweet. For starters, you get a $300 prepaid Visa gift card for signing up for the triple play FiOS deal now. This makes the package roughly $67.49 a month for 24 months since you have the promotional monthly price of $79.99 minus $12.50 a month (based on the $300 gift card divided by 24 months). And of course, the $300 is mailed to you well before the promo period ends (more specifically, 90 days after you install service) too. On top of that, Verizon is throwing in a free Quantum Speed Upgrade on the Internet, which triples the Internet speed for free the first year!

The Message (MSG)
33 1-4 Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah and Rachel and the two maidservants. He put the maidservants out in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last. He led the way and, as he approached his brother, bowed seven times, honoring his brother. But Esau ran up and embraced him, held him tight and kissed him. And they both wept.
5 Then Esau looked around and saw the women and children: "And who are these with you?"
Jacob said, "The children that God saw fit to bless me with."
6-7 Then the maidservants came up with their children and bowed; then Leah and her children, also bowing; and finally, Joseph and Rachel came up and bowed to Esau.
8 Esau then asked, "And what was the meaning of all those herds that I met?"
"I was hoping that they would pave the way for my master to welcome me."
9 Esau said, "Oh, brother. I have plenty of everything—keep what is yours for yourself."
10-11 Jacob said, "Please. If you can find it in your heart to welcome me, accept these gifts. When I saw your face, it was as the face of God smiling on me. Accept the gifts I have brought for you. God has been good to me and I have more than enough." Jacob urged the gifts on him and Esau accepted.
12 Then Esau said, "Let's start out on our way; I'll take the lead."
13-14 But Jacob said, "My master can see that the children are frail. And the flocks and herds are nursing, making for slow going. If I push them too hard, even for a day, I'd lose them all. So, master, you go on ahead of your servant, while I take it easy at the pace of my flocks and children. I'll catch up with you in Seir."
15 Esau said, "Let me at least lend you some of my men."
"There's no need," said Jacob. "Your generous welcome is all I need or want."
16 So Esau set out that day and made his way back to Seir.
17 And Jacob left for Succoth. He built a shelter for himself and sheds for his livestock. That's how the place came to be called Succoth (Sheds).
18-20 And that's how it happened that Jacob arrived all in one piece in Shechem in the land of Canaan—all the way from Paddan Aram. He camped near the city. He bought the land where he pitched his tent from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. He paid a hundred silver coins for it. Then he built an altar there and named it El-Elohe-Israel (Mighty Is the God of Israel).
