Renting a car can be a liberating and independent way of travelling around the island. It also can be a harrowing experience as Phuket drivers do not always adhere to the rules of the roads.
Most international car rental agencies are represented in Phuket and have counters at the airport. It is recommended to purchase all optional insurance available and check the dents and scratches carefully before driving off.
Rates vary depending on the size and make of vehicle. Remember Thais drive on the left side of the road.

April 27, 2010
ATLANTA—Georgia State University College of Law Professor Jessica Gabel was quoted recently in stories in both The Wall Street Journal and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on bankruptcy issues.
On Tuesday, April 27, Gabel was quoted in a story by Wall Street Journal reporter Dawn Wotapka on Milton and Patricia Harper filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection and averting forecosure on their 5,300-square-foot Atlanta home, which was built for the "Extreme Makeover" television show during the 2004-2005 season.
The couple had filed for their first Chapter 13 in early 2009, Wotapka wrote, as foreclosure loomed for their home. The bankruptcy halted the process. It's possible that the family was unable to fulfill the payment plan set up under the bankruptcy and thus had to file again this year–a common occurrence says Gabel.
Mortgage troubles came after the family used the house as collateral for a $450,000 loan, which was modified by Chase in 2008. Meanwhile, the family still seems to be trying to raffle off the house, which Gabel says is unusual.
"That doesn't pass the smell test. They're going to have to demonstrate to the court why they should proceed" with the raffle. Plus, she added, any post-bankruptcy petition income might have to go to creditors.
Read the full story on The Wall Street Journal website.
On Friday, April 23, Gabel was quoted in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution story by Péralte C. Paul on Mohawk Industries' recent $18 million settlement to end a lawsuit brought by current and former employees accusing it of hiring illegal workers, which, lawyers say, probably will result in similar filings across the country.
The lawsuit drew national headlines, Paul wrote, because attorneys for the plaintiffs went after the carpet and flooring giant using the federal and Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations acts. The key allegation was that company officials knowingly sought and hired illegal immigrants, resulting in depressed wages for workers who were here legally.
Using RICO "was an interesting strategy," Gabel said. "Because federal employment laws are limited to wrongful termination or bad practices, they were really trying to capture what they perceived to be this corrupt practice within Mohawk that we can get cheap labor by hiring illegal workers."

NIDDK-funded Study Finding: Gallbladder Removal May Be a Risk Factor for NAFLD
Researchers have found that people who undergo cholecystectomy—a common surgery to remove the gallbladder—may be at risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD, a condition in which fat builds up in the liver, is a common cause of liver disease in the United States. The risk factors for NAFLD, other than weight-related conditions, were not previously well defined.
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)-funded researchers conducted a review of 12,232 participants in the third U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey—a large, national, population-based study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ultrasonography for gallstone disease had been performed on all participants; subjects with viral hepatitis or significant alcohol intake were excluded from the study.
Researchers found that individuals with a history of cholecystectomy had a significantly higher prevalence of NAFLD, regardless of the length of time since surgery. Interestingly, the presence of gallstones, the usual reason for cholecystectomy, was not associated with NAFLD.
Researchers noted that the higher prevalence of NAFLD after cholecystectomy may be related to metabolic changes and alterations in bile acid transport.
NIDDK-funded Study Finding: Survivors of ALF Experience Lower Quality of Life—Particularly Acetaminophen Overdose Survivors
Adult survivors of acute liver failure (ALF) experience a reduced quality of life compared with the general population, according to an NIDDK-funded study published online in Liver Transplantation. Among the ALF survivors, those who experienced acetaminophen overdose (APAP) reported even lower quality of life scores than non-APAP survivors and people who underwent liver transplantation.
Researchers sought to characterize health-related quality of life outcomes for long-term survivors of ALF by conducting a retrospective study of 252 adult ALF survivors. Among these patients, 125 had undergone liver transplantation. A total of 157 patients, including 95 APAP and 62 non-APAP patients, were spontaneous survivors.
Researchers noted that APAP survivors may have reported the lowest quality of life scores due to higher rates of pre-morbid psychiatric and substance abuse disorders.
FDA Approves First Genotyping Test for Patients with HCV
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a test that identifies the genotype of hepatitis C virus (HCV) that a patient is carrying. The Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II, which can differentiate genotypes 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, and 5 using a sample of an infected patient's blood plasma or serum, will aid health care professionals in determining the appropriate approach to treatment. Because the various HCV genotypes respond differently to available drug therapies, knowing the type of HCV a person is infected with can result in better patient outcomes.
The Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II is approved for individuals known to be chronically infected with HCV. It is not approved for use as a diagnostic test or as a screening test for the presence of HCV genetic material in blood, blood products, or tissue donors. The test has not been evaluated in newborns or pediatric patients, or in patients with compromised immune systems, such as people with AIDS.

"Active" groupings
Do you guys have suggestions on what is "Very active" "Active" "Moderately Active" dogs?
For instance: -My dog usually has 2x1.5 hour walk daily. -During the walk, he spends about 45 min playing fetch (swimming for his ball in high summer). Some portions of this running is uphill. -The other 45 min he's just walking with me (him trotting, me going my usual slow pace), though sometimes he'll take a break and play with a familiar dog. -His play style is about 50% chasing/being chased by the other dog, 50% mock attacking or mock growling (he thinks he's a peacekeeper). Knowing this, would you say he's very active or only active? I read how other posters have said their dogs are actual working dogs - they run around herding goats. Still other posters run or bike with their dogs. I bring him to a small state park and we walk the trails while playing fetch. That's pretty much it. What would you consider this activity level to be? I wish there are guidelines.... This food I'm feeding him now is ziwipeaks - I should adjust the feeding based on whether he's very active or just active.... |

It's safe to say the new Chadwick 4-H club—Green-N-A—is a growing program, as it approaches the close of its first year.
"The kids came up with the motto, 'Think outside the bark,'" said Dawn Phillips Simon, club sponsor.
"We started in August and by the end we had 500 plants," Simon said. " We had to transfer them into different pots three different times."
The club's name Green-N-A—like DNA—reflects its specialized efforts in horticulture, utilizing the Chadwick School District's sizable greenhouse, which the group shares with the high school FFA.
The club received a $1,200 grant to build planter boxes for the spring. Continue Reading

For all of you who participated in, gave to, or heard about Live Below the Line, this new game is for you! It challenges you to balance your extreme poverty budget for everything in life, not just food and drink.
Guest blog by Hanna Burmeister from Live58.
So are you up for a challenge? Try living on $1.25 a day.
No, really. Try it.
In fact, you don't even have to leave your seat to do so. Live58, an alliance of non-profits working together to see the end of extreme poverty in our lifetime, has just launched a new game called Survive125 that gives you the chance to do just that - try and survive on $1.25 a day.
The World Bank defines "extreme poverty" as living on the US dollar equivalent of $1.25 a day, or less. For the nearly 1.3 billion people around the world who currently live in extreme poverty, surviving on $1.25 a day is not a game, it's a dangerous reality.
Deciding between paying for a uniform so your child can go to school or buying firewood and food for the day is not a choice many of us have to make. Sending your daughter to work in a factory for some extra income knowing there's a risk of her being victim to sex trafficking may seem like an awful choice, but for many families living in poverty it's a decision that could mean the difference between having enough money to eat, or starving.
Survive125 is an interactive game that puts players in the shoes of Divya Patel, an Indian woman with four children, trying to survive on $1.25 a day. Players will be faced with many of the impossible choices that those living in extreme poverty have to make every day.
Through this game, Live58 hopes to both educate and inspire people on issues of extreme poverty. Not only is Survive125 an educational game, it's an experience. By placing themselves in the shoes of someone living in extreme poverty, players are able to struggle with hard decisions and ultimately choose their future.
Think you can live on a $1.25? Play and see if you can Survive125.

Democratic Governance and Human Rights
If I had to summarise what France does for human rights in a nutshell, I would say that it consists in transforming human rights into actual rights, by which I mean going from the ideal as it is invoked to the law as it is applied. That confrontation of the
ideal and the real is without a doubt the most difficult part of what we do. It brings us up against all the obstacles that the world puts in the way of the furtherance of rights. But it also stirs the heart because there is always a human dimension. In fields as varied as access to healthcare, the training of journalists, prison conditions and the demobilisation of
child soldiers, France is there, taking action. Those initiatives are true to the human rights strategy defined by the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs. We are producing this brochure because responsibility stands at the heart of what we do. We have an obligation not only to do what we say but also to say what we do, to establish tracking indicators and
to evaluate the effectiveness of our policies. France's commitment to the cause of human rights stems from an obsession to serve not only the principles attached to its name but also the interests of the children, women and men who place their hope in it.

Hi everyone,
Complete new to all this. 43 year old male. Battled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for > 20 years. Had Orchiectomy in 2000. At that time advised sperm count was very low. Went on to father 3 kids with my wife
Recently found out my Testosterone is 239 ng/dL, below reference range of 348-1197, and hoping it's a source of much of the debilitating fatigue I've battled.
My friend works for a hormone replacement company, and recommended double strength gel (300MG/ML) initially (they usually do pellets). They casually mentioned that it *can* affect fertility, but usually it comes back after you stop taking it.
We still want more children, I researched it online some, and found out that a zero sperm count after supplementing testosterone is very common. Decided to get 2nd opinion, so got an appointment with local urologist who I saw yesterday. He said sometimes people still get pregnant on the gel, but would recommend Clomid. He's running some more blood work to check pituitary axis is working.
Haven't found much specific info online, just lots of body building sites
Are there any drs on here that could give me some clear advise?
- is Clomid the way to go? Heard horror stories of side effects
- heard of people taking gel along with HCG - is that a good option? Does it really sustain sperm production, as well as testes size (don't care about size) if taken with T gel.
- are there other options out there?
- how would I find a good Dr locally? Urologist had heard of HCG, never treated with it.
- can I go it alone with my friend at the hormone clinic? He's not a Dr. They have a new dr and several NPs. Not sure how experienced they are.
- what # for total testosterone do I want to hit to feel better?
I'm really in a quandry - desperate for some relief of the fatigue etc. which is horrendous, but don't want to sacrifice fertility.
Really looking for some concrete facts based on studies, treatment of patients, and any personal experience.
Thanks in advance!

Go Back
By Veleisa Patton August 11, 2011
It goes without saying that Visit Orlando does a fantastic job of showcasing their city for media. The tour created for WEC writers, in my opinion, went beyond the expected: the writers saw a side of the city I'm quite sure that not many, not even Orlando natives, have an opportunity to experience.
Friday night, the host hotel for the media, Peabody Orlando, started everything with a welcome reception in the Rocks bar, where the journalists had a fantastic view of the refined dining space and the outdoor pool and water park area. The Peabody recently finished a half billion dollar renovation, and the results are dazzling. From there, it was on to the One Ocean Show in Shamu Stadium at SeaWorld Orlando. The Show, with trained killer whales as the entertainment, not only entertained but educated; between sets, the audience learned about the conservation efforts of the park. Afterward, the group even got to meet some of the animals helped by SeaWorld: a toucan, sloth and other curious animals that delighted everyone and caused a flurry of pictures. We capped the evening with an informational dinner in the private event space and a Q&A on how groups can enjoy the kind of experience we just enjoyed.
Our group got an early start the next morning at the Citrus Club for a tourism roundtable with Visit Orlando CEO Gary Sain. While enjoying a private breakfast, the media learned about the city's role as a leading meeting destination and the more than $4 billion in new developments. Gary had a great comment how Orlando works with planners to not only create incredible return on investment but also a return on ideas. After this, the topic turned to sustainability at a Clean the World hands-on recycling event at the organization's headquarters. Clean the World works throughout the hospitality industry and the sanitizing session demonstrated the dedication that the organization and its volunteers have to providing soap for impoverished areas of the world.
Next we were off to the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA), part of the University of Central Florida's Center for Emerging Media. Truly a highlight, the reps at FIEA explained the growth of the interactive and digital media industry, its tie to the local economy and how groups and associations are making use of the technology in learning and presentations.
A behind-the-scenes view of the Amway Center, home to the Orlando Magic, revealed several spaces available for events, each with a distinct environment. The added bonus was a catered lunch provided by Amway in the Fairwinds Tower Room, with a clear view of downtown, and the opportunity to speak with Scott Joseph, Orlando restaurant critic and writer, who discussed the evolution of Orlando's fine dining scene. The day ended with a tour of Medical City at Lake Nona, an attraction for medical groups who use the research laboratories and education facilities, and one of the venues that makes Orlando a popular destination for medical meetings. After an extensive Q&A, the group was ready to make it back to the Peabody and prepare for the opening night reception at Disney's Epcot Alive!
A huge thank you goes to Jennifer Dienst and the Visit Orlando team, all host venues, the media themselves for being such a receptive audience to the locations and everyone involved.

Los Angeles highlights
LA gayborhoods
Santa Monica Boulevard is the focal point of most of the area's LGBT action—with probably the best lesbian nightlife on the West Coast. Silverlake, once seen as a gay leathery village is still home to a wide swath of LGBT hot spots.
Eventful LA
June's pride event and Halloween in West Hollywood—both huge street events with lots of flair—as well as the August's Sunset Junction street fair in Silverlake, are not to be missed. Get tickets for the Outfest in July, or Fusion, a film festival for LGBT people of color in March.
Fun and games
Attractions in this enormous metropolis are varied as your imagination -- shopping on Rodeo Drive, studio tours in Universal City, romantic boardwalks in Venice and the landmark Disneyland.
Around the area
Downtown includes great museums and the ethnic enclaves of Little Tokyo, Chinatown and the nearby Korea Town. A ferry trip to Catalina Island oozes an upscale Mediterranean vibe. LA has also upped its cultural cache with many new museums, opera houses and theaters.
Insider tips for Los Angeles gay travel
Beware June Gloom and the Santa Anas
Two LA-specific weather phenomena are the fog banks and overcast skies that can hang around for days in June (and sometimes from March to August), and the Santa Ana winds that can make you feel like Dorothy in Kansas.
Join a live studio audience
Probably the only way you'll actually see a celebrity in LA is by seeing a TV show being taped. Tickets are free, and are sometimes handed out on Hollywood Boulevard or Universal City.
If you don't drive, stay in West Hollywood
If you don't drive or are wary of LA's monumental traffic, and simply want to focus on the city of angels' gay life, stay in one of WeHo's upscale hotels. You'll be within walking distance of gay nightlife, shops and restaurants.

Vivid Sydney starts today - and you can win a trip.
25/05/2012 , 11:36 AM by Dominic Knight
Sydney's always been a city that lives for summer. We cram our weddings, barbecues, picnics and parties into summer and the month on either side when it's blissfully warm outdoors – well except during this last summer, anyway.
The only problem is that there are seven other months of the year when we shiver and huddle indoors in houses that don't have proper central heating like they would in places like Canberra and Melbourne who aren't suffering under the delusion that their climate's the same as Cairns'.
Vivid Sydney was created to bring the city alive in winter, and it's been luring Sydneysiders out of their homes in June for five years now with a potent combination of engaging light displays, intriguing talks and compelling music. And from tonight until 11 June, the area around the Rocks and the northern end of the CBD will be lighting up again.
Don't forget to check out some of the fascinating live music on offer from acts like Florence & The Machine, Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Efterklang who I interviewed on Thursday night's show. The ideas section has lots on offer too, including the Sydney Film Festival and lots of talks on subjects like art, gaming, architecture and new media.
The Evening Show is giving away a trip to Vivid, including accommodation, dinner, a bridge climb experience and flights for those in NSW and the ACT who don't live in Sydney. All you have to do is tell us your most vivid winter memory in fifty words or less.
I think mine would have to be when I moved to England aged 8, and saw snow for the first time on Christmas Day. White Christmases are a rarity in London, but that day we woke up to see the familiar world blanketed in pristine white. We forgot about presents and turkey and threw snowballs, made snowmen and got deliciously cold. What's your most vivid memory?
We've also put together some podcasts where my voice guides you around the fantastic lighting displays, explaining who made the displays and what to look out for. Make sure you get out and see them, because they're always spectacular! And celebrate Sydney coming alive even though it's cold outside...

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Sin By Silence' tag.
Our partner Women Make Movies brought to our attention the upcoming broadcast of the film Sin By Silence on the Discovery Channel on October 17th. Sin By Silence follows Brenda Clubine, who has been locked up for 26 years for murdering her abusive husband. She started Convicted Women Against Abuse (CWAA), the first support and advocacy group of its kind – for women in prison, by women in prison. I had the opportunity to interview filmmaker Olivia Klaus about the film.
Telegraph21: What inspired you to make Sin by Silence?
Olivia Klaus: My world was shattered by a three-minute phone call. I had always heard about domestic violence, but it was a problem that happened to other people. Yet, there it was…on the other end of the phone. A close friend of mine was a victim. As my mind started racing for ways to help or fix things, I realized that I was completely helpless. I had no answers, no solutions. I held that phone in silence as I heard the dark secrets of a seemingly perfect marriage unravel.
My painstaking journey to help continued as I started discovering women's shelters and organizations. Yet, they offered extremely limited resources for victims and those trying to help. Then a conversation with a colleague, Dr. Elizabeth Leonard – author of Convicted Survivors- changed everything. She started talking about her own inspiration for solutions to the crisis at hand. She suggested that my quest include a trip to the most unlikely place – prison!
Since that first visit to prison, and meeting the incredible survivors of Convicted Women Against Abuse, I found that I could never pretend that life was the way it was before. These women were serving life in prison for killing their abusive husbands and I slowly realized they were the experts on domestic violence that I had been searching for. As months of meetings went on and relationships were built, the women soon found out that my background was filmmaking and approached me to help tell their stories. I knew with this request came a long journey, yet I knew their voices must be heard. If these women's stories could be heard beyond prison walls, then I just knew that countless lives would be saved…..and Sin by Silence was born.
Telegraph21: What do you want viewers to take away from the film?
Olivia Klaus: The title of the film comes from an Abraham Lincoln quote that states, "To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards of men." So, it is our duty to start conversations about this silent problem so that we begin to create environments for victims of abuse to feel comfortable to finally ask for help. To finally speak up and say to that friend, "Is everything alright? I'm really worried about you." Just saying such a simple phrase could eventually be the difference between life and death for someone. With four women dying a day due to violence in the home, it's definitely worth the effort to speak up!
Telegraph21: How did you first connect with the organization Convicted Women Against Abuse?
Olivia Klaus: When I had started on the journey to help my friend, I started discovering women's shelters and organizations. Yet, they offered extremely limited resources for victims and those trying to help. Then a conversation with a colleague, Dr. Elizabeth Leonard – author of Convicted Survivors – changed everything. She started talking about her own inspiration for solutions to the crisis at hand. She suggested that my quest include a trip to the most unlikely place – prison!
The first time I visited the California Institution for Women was in 2001. I was nervous that evening, wondering whom I was about to meet. The group Convicted Women Against Abuse (CWAA) was comprised of women who had killed the men they once loved. But when the meeting started, I was slowly introduced to women who could be my neighbors, my friends, my sister…or even myself.
Since that first meeting, I have been unable to turn my back on the women of CWAA. They, along with my friend, opened my eyes to a part of the world that I never knew existed. Once that silence had been broken, I found that I could never pretend that life was the way it was before.
Telegraph21: What can be learned from Brenda Clubine's experience?
Olivia Klaus: I think the most important thing that Brenda and the women of Convicted Women Against Abuse experiences teach us is that abusive relationships can happen to anyone. Abuse sees no boundaries of age, race, class, religion or education – and the statistics show us the fact that 1 in 3 women will experience some sort of abuse in their lifetime. Anyone can find themselves in an abusive relationship having to defend their life. In a split second everything can change.
Telegraph21: What was the most difficult part about filming in the California Institution for Women?
Olivia Klaus: Filming didn't just happen overnight. There were many approvals needed from the California Department of Corrections. Yet, since I had been a volunteer with CWAA, something that could take a media crew up to six months to gain approval happen for me in one month's time. I was already an 'employee' in the eyes of the officials and employees at the institution. They knew my heart and knew my passion to help these women.
Month after month, year after year, I drove the 70 miles to be at every CWAA meeting. I listened to experiences that were living nightmares. I began trying to raise funds. The women of CWAA believed that they could be a part of impacting the "outside" world and gave the first $1000 – a donation made up from average wages of only 10 cents an hour.
We began the process of filming countless CWAA meetings under the horrible production conditions of prison and state schedules. By participating and listening in on these interactions, we documented several women's epic stories as they began to discover hope and dignity. Many interviewees openly expressed gratitude for the freedom to tell "the whole story" to someone with whom they felt comfortable. A surprisingly large proportion of the women stated that this was their first opportunity to openly reveal their lives, their abuse, their experiences, and their perceptions. Many members who used to remain in the background started to find their voice and members started inviting other inmates they met on the yard. An entirely new sense of purpose was given to the women of CWAA and a sense of empowerment came from finally being able to have their voices be heard.
Telegraph21: Your source of inspiration?
Olivia Klaus: People have always been my inspiration. I have always had a passion to be a voice for the voiceless. So, I guess it was only natural for me to become a filmmaker because I believe that changing the world starts with a story. Simple or complicated, it doesn't matter. A good story, well told, can change lives, change laws and can change you.
Telegraph21: What are your thoughts about the continued misconceptions about Domestic Violence in the United States?
Olivia Klaus: Not too long ago, newspapers were cluttered with headlines of the very public act of violence against Rihanna. Overnight, Rihanna's private nightmare became a public debate. "She deserved it." "She is trying to get attention." "She started it." These kinds of comments revealed a startling response to teen dating violence and the statistics prove it – 1 in 3 teens experience abuse, 2 out of 3 teens who experience abuse never report it.Sadly, Domestic and dating violence isn't going away anytime soon. Laws are not able to change what goes on behind closed doors. I do think the government plays a vital role in the solution for a violence-free future, yet I think the more important role lies within communities, friends, family and neighbors who step in to help someone experiencing abuse. Every day we can take a step towards improving the quality of our own lives and communities. I wish there was a quick solution, but the fact is that this is going to be a long journey towards change.
One simple thing that everyone can do to make a difference, is to watch Sin by Silence when it premieres on Investigation Discovery on Oct 17th at 8pm ET/PT. Nearly 78 million hones will have the opportunity to get to know the incredible CWAA women. I encourage everyone to use this opportunity to invite their friends over to learn more about the issues. Through the women of CWAA stories of terror and hope, we can all better understand the cycle of violence, the signs of an abuser, and how each and every one of us is responsible for changing the tragedy of domestic violence.
Telegraph21: Do you think the criminal justice system in the United States provides sufficient services for women in prison?
Olivia Klaus: To this day, Convicted Women Against Abuse remains the only inmate-initiated battered women support group in the entire U.S. prison system. Women who remain behind bars, serving a life sentence, are in pain and need the resources to help them heal. Yet, unfortunately most Corrections Departments in this country would rather spend their budgets on guard salaries than help the people who need it the most.
That is what makes CWAA so amazing and unique – started by inmates, run by inmates, to help inmates. We should all take a lesson in activism from these women. Because if they can come out of the worst nightmares, to become healed and empowered women who have helped change laws from behind prison walls; than we most certainly can do our part to make a difference out here by inviting our friends over to watch the television premier of Sin by Silence on Oct 17th and start the ripple effect to make our homes and communities safer.

When I find a company or brand that I love, I tend to stick with that company. Whether it is a store I shop in that has great customer service, a restaurant that has delicious food without fail, or a product that continues to work for me time after time, I don't usually switch from a brand that I am consistently happy with. One company that I am loyal to is Cool Cuts 4 Kids.
Cool Cuts 4 Kids is the nation's largest salon chain just for kids. The friendly stylists are experts when it comes to working with kids, and are trained to deal with different temperaments, special needs or sensory difficulties. The salons are bright and colorful, and even the most hesitant kids will want to go in and play!
We have been going to Cool Cuts 4 Kids since Rylie had her first real haircut before she was a year old. She has since been back several times a year, including the first and second times she decided to get her hair all chopped off. Bryce also had his first haircut there, and has been back many times since.
Oh and by the way, first haircuts are a big deal at Cool Cuts 4 Kids! When your child has that first haircut, you will receive a certificate with a lock of their hair, and you can also purchase a photo magnet for all of those pictures you are sure to take!
Bryce was in desperate need of a haircut a couple weekends ago, so the two of us headed out to Cool Cuts 4 Kids to get him looking cool. I really just wanted the back and sides trimmed up, since we decided to let the top grow out a bit. I still can't decide how I want his hair, but when we had it cut really short the last time, I didn't particularly like it. (It wasn't the stylists fault...she did what I asked her to do.) Here is the "before" picture. I know it isn't long by any means, but it was definitely time to get it cleaned up.
When we arrived at Cool Cuts 4 Kids, Bryce ran right over to the play section for little kids. In this section there is a train table, a Lego table and a TV. Of course Bryce went right for the trains!
Big kids will also find entertainment at Cool Cuts 4 Kids in the form of video game consoles that they can play while waiting to get their hair cut.
Once it is your child's turn, they get to go to one of the fun stations to get their haircut. There is a princess station for the pretty little princesses, or race cars for the little speed racers. There are TVs with DVD players at each station to keep kids entertained while the stylists work their magic.
Haircut time is so much fun for Rylie and Bryce these days, but it didn't always use to be that way. Both of my kids used to scream their little heads off while getting their hair cut, and the stylists were always patient with them, even though they were trying to cut hair on wiggly kids who would not hold still. Now, though, my kids climb right up in those chairs with a smile!
On this particular visit, Bryce watched Cars while he got his hair cut. He followed directions well and moved his head when he was asked to.
He even sat still when she got the clippers out. Well, almost. After all, it tickles!
A few minutes later he was out of the race car and up in the front of the store. You see, there are toys up there for the good little girls and boys. You can also purchase some great hair care products made especially for kids.
My kids don't usually ask for toys, but Bryce did this time and asked for a car. How can I say no to this face? After all, he was very good!
I was very happy with the way his hair looked after it was cut. Now I just hope the top grows faster than the back!
Is your little one in need of a Cool Cut for this summer? I highly recommend checking out Cool Cuts 4 Kids if you haven't already. Now through July 15th, you can receive $5 off any service ($11.95 or higher) at Cool Cuts 4 Kids. Just print out the $5 off coupon and take it to a location near you!

Why WordPress.com is the best blogging platform . period!
March 22nd, 2009 by adminIt's not a secret that we are huge WordPress secrets for blogging, especially since we have been offerring SEO blog templates for WordPress for years. If you are an expert you already know that WordPress has Meta tags and other built in amazing tools for SEO. You know that WordPress.org offers the MU (Multi-User), and the blogging software for FREE. Which always catapults the most feature rich blogging tool in to being #1.
So Why is WordPress.com the best blogging platform? Because it helps you setup a blog on your own domain for custom hosting within minutes and only $15/year (yes that is a year), DID WE MENTION INCLUDING THE DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION? YES, THAT IS TRUE.
Some of us are not technical, and so the fact that WordPress.com hosts our free blogs is great, but we really want to be professional and blogging on our own domain allows us all to do that. So the fact that it is super easy is another best feature. Folks, I tried and spent hours on TypePad the (self proclaimed professional blog), it stinks. I was willing to pay the $149/year (thank god they did not charge my credit card), but it was too rigid, templates were not professional enough, and the SEO was weak. I expected so much more, but I would have just settled for an easy interface, but they simply made things hard for me to navigate. Also TYPEPAD fees are non-refundable, so DO NOT BUY or Pay full in advance they do not prorate your monthly payments. After the 14 day trial, you are literally hosed, stuck with their weaker blogging system.
Blogger and Blogspot are easy and Ok, they also allow domain hosting, for free I think. Blogger blogging platform, is owned by Google, so it's not that bad, nothing Google does is bad. It simply does not have the features and customization that WordPress.com blogging has.
Anyway, It's taken me a few days to blog about this topic as I have been busy blogging about my wife's book Mommy's Little Money$Maker, an Inspiration Guide for Mom's to start a business or earn a part time income. Check it out at MomBite.com, she has been blogging their every day. She plans to provide a daily MomBite, a featured business owned and started by a Mom that can help to inspire other Mom's. Enjoy and don't be afraid to pass it on to other Mom's. Thanks!

Cute Book
By Mom of Two in MN
from Minnesota
About Me Bookworm
This is a very cute little book. My 8 month old loves to read it and touch all the fun textures. The only reason I gave 4 stars was lack of consistency. The book starts out with all baby animals and giving proper names but somewhere around the middle they just give up.
Super Cute!
By Mama of 2
from MI
My son had this book before we bought it as a gift for my nephew. It has a lot of pages and bright colors. We love it and it's such a good price!
Highy recommended!
By Silly Sadies Mommy

Great for little hands. Keeps my daughter entertained, she uses this book everyday. Great price for book! My daughter even "pets" the bunnies, says "awl" and gives the book a big hug! I'm so glad I got it!

My son loves the fuzzy bunny the best! Yet he chews on the book and is kinda ruining it unfortunatly. Very colorful and fun, my 9 month old son loves it.
One of my son's first books
By Mom-arazzi
from Las Vegas, NV
My son loved the textures and colors in the book. We got this when he was about 18 months old. He was eventually able to tear it apart, but he insists on keeping a couple of the pages from it to play with almost daily. It's a good starter book for the kiddos!
Love It
By Zippers and Snaps
from Westminster, MD
I was thrilled when I got this as a baby gift, one of my son's first books, because I've used this company's travel guidebooks (oddly enough) and they are so high quality. Anyway, he's loved since he could hold a book and it's still one of his favorites - he loves touching the furry bunny, dog, kitten, monkey, etc. Some strange choices (zebra? snail?) but I wish there were more books like this...

My 16 mo old son loves this book! Out of a 100+ books, this is the one he brings to me over & over again. It keeps his attention.

Crompton was a good prospect out of N.C. He came to Tennessee during one of the toughest stretches in UT history. He must be pretty good, how many of you naysayers have every made a dime from your vast athletic talent? He kept his nose clean played hard for 3 different Coordinators and has had a not untypical attempt at living his dream of playing pro football and doing what he loves. He is a Vol for life. I respect and appreciate the kids who give it their all for Tennessee. Even Bray, not that I approve or applaud some of his actions, but for those of you who never did anything stupid in college, cast your stones, sorry for your boring life. How could anyone wish Crompton or Bray anything but the best? Most of the mouths on this site never played a down in HS let alone anything after HS. The ugliness and negativity is reflective of poor self esteem, bitterness, Godlessness, immaturity and hopelessness. This behavior is ridiculous and does nothing but negatively reflect on the program. I can barely read this site anymore. Get a clue. I cheer with bright eyes everyone who chose to wear the orange. All Vol all the time. Get real.
