When your child hangs limp in your arms, flopping forward like a battered rag doll, it's terrifying.
Everything leaves your body. Your breath, your mind, your soul, everything. I sat on the floor in my empty husk of a body while I clutched her as she drooped.
I said her name.
I shouted her name.
I cried her name.
And then, with a choke, she cried.
She sat up and looked at me and I came down from the place on the ceiling where I had been hovering, waiting and watching. I came down with all the force of the universe behind me and I pulled her close and rocked us both.
Ten minutes before she had slipped in the bathroom and hit her head on the side of the bath. She cried, I cuddled. She calmed down and we went through the usual routine of massage, pyjamas, cuddle, bed. No huge bump, no red marks – nothing as bad as I was expecting after the loud thwack of head meeting bath.
I put the blackout down to how frantically she was crying, how when she is wracked with gulping sobs she gets breathless. I put her to bed, sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when she asked and kissed her goodnight. I shut the door with tears rolling down my face. Never again do I want to feel my baby go limp in my arms while I am powerless and clueless and senseless.
Half an hour later the husband went to her when she cried. I felt something wasn't right so I followed. And then came the sick.
Beans has never vomited before, so it really scared her. She screamed and panicked and we shushed and stroked and tried to calm her down. She started wagging her finger at herself and saying no. She was telling herself off.
Clearly she had no idea what had happened and, assuming that she had made a mess, saw fit to reprimand herself. My heart splintered, bursting out of my chest with the impact.
No sweetheart, it's ok. You're ok. You are just a bit poorly, you're not naughty. You're a good girl. It's ok.
Her frightened eyes blink back at me.
Sweetheart, you've done nothing wrong. It's ok.
Oh dear.
I cuddled and shushed and paced.
We clean up as best we can and at some point it dawns on me that we should get her checked by a doctor. That's what they tell you to do isn't it? Isn't it? Suddenly I feel as helpless and lost as I did when I cradled her as a newborn and wondered what I was supposed to do with her. I didn't know whether we needed to take her to A&E or whether we were over reacting.
I remembered sitting with a friend at the age of eight in the sick bay at school, staring at the flaking layers of paint on the walls, red then blue then grey then blue, while she threw up into a mixing bowl as I held her hair back and tried to think of something else. Her mum came to pick her up and take her to hospital.
Yes. We should go.
And there we were for three hours. I naively assumed that young children – babies, she's my baby – are seen quickly, as are head injuries. I was wrong. For three, long, torturous hours we paced and soothed and paced and cuddled and paced and sung.
We sat in the overflowing waiting room and watched the sick and injured file in; the old in wheelchairs with bandaged legs or cut arms, the young with ice packs on knees and grazes on faces, the huddled pairs of women with no obvious affliction, eyes fixed to their mobile phones.
We questioned why we couldn't wait in the children's area. Where the door is closed and it's quiet and she can toddle and sit and be safe and calm. We just couldn't they said.
We soothed, we paced, we rocked, we sung.
I tried to keep my panic at bay.
We were seen, finally, and Beans was greeted by a woman in latex gloves shining a torch in her eye. She decided this woman was not her friend and I had to pin her against my chest while her shakes and her sobs reverberated off my rib cage and through my body all the way to my toes while the torch was shined and ears were checked I could soothe and pace some until the sobs subsided.
And then, once we had been made to feel like those parents, the ones who jump at the slightest scrape, we were sent on our way. Sent back home with a leaflet telling us that with children under four you only need to seek medical attention in the case of fits or constant vomiting after a fall or bump. Back home feeling stupid and scared and stressed and upset and worried and relieved.
I know I have a lifetime of worry ahead of me, a forever of caring and loving and feeling the fear. I know that wasn't the last time we will have to visit A&E, but I hope with every last ounce of my being that never, ever again will I have to be so helpless and scared as I was for the eternal five seconds that she hung lifelessly in my arms.

Whitney Houston's Daughter Bobbi Kristina Involved in Serious Accident
Former "Melrose Place" Actress Found Guilty of Fatal New Jersey Accident, What Will Her Sentence Be?
Robert J. Kaiser Voted The Best Personal Injury Attorney In Santa Clarita
When the tax filing deadline rolls around people scramble to get their forms finished and sent in, but the stress of turning in returns on time can be deadly. New research shows that more American's died in fatal collisions on the day taxes are due.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that more fatal accidents occur on Tax Day, which is typically April 15th, than any other day of the year. The research showed that fatal accidents increased 6 percent on average for every tax filing deadline over the past 30 years. Putting it a different way, an average of 13 more people will be killed in a fatal accident on Tax Day than any other day.
Dr. Donald A. Redelmeier, a professor of medicine for the University of Toronto explains, "Our research suggests that stressful deadlines can contribute to driver error that can contribute to fatal accidents." Factor such as driver exhaustion, stress, alcohol and less tolerance can lead to a tragic accident on tax day.
Careless drivers can cause injury or death to others and an accident lawyer can hold these individuals accountable for the pain they cause others. The families of the victims, who are wrongfully killed by a negligent driver, can hire an accident attorney to seek compensation for their pain and suffering.
Once an accident attorney begins working on a case the victims can be confident that someone is fighting for their rights and making sure they get a favorable settlement.

Information Resources > Mobile Communication and Information Devices Policy
Information Resources > Mobile Communication and Information Devices Policy
Effective September 1, 2011 The University of Kansas has implemented a new Mobile Communication and Information Devices (Mobile CIDs) policy. This policy replaces all previous cellular phone policies and covers the entire University of Kansas and University of Kansas Medical Center. (Including the Wichita and Salina campuses) While the entire university will follow the same policy, each campus will establish procedures to implement the policy.
In general, based on functional role within the University, employees fall into one of two groups of employees. Employees determined to be in "Group 1" will be eligible for supplemental salary up to a specified amount per pay period to cover the cost of mobile communication and information devices and services. An employee may not receive more than one mobile CID salary supplement. The amount of supplemental salary authorized is based on whether the supervisor has determined that the employee requires voice only, data only, or voice and data service in order to perform his or her duties. Supplemental salary to cover the cost of mobile CIDs is subject to payroll tax withholdings. It does not constitute an increase in base pay, will not be included in any percentage calculations for increase to base pay, and does not qualify as compensation for retirement contribution purposes.
Employees determined to be in "Group 2" will have their CID device and service paid for by direct University budget. Group 2 employees who wish to have a mobile CID for personal use are expected to carry a second individually owned device. University owned and supported CIDs are for business purposes only. The mobile device user must "validate" their monthly statement prior to Telecommunications paying the monthly bill for service. All mobile devices for employees under Group 2 will be managed by the Telecommunications department.
The full text of the policy can be found on the main KU poilcy web site.
Below are the various forms used to request a cellular phone or mobile device for either Group 1 or Group 2 type employees. These forms must be completed by the end user and the department. For current group 1 employees, a new form must be submitted only if the funding source is changing.

School funding is based off how many students are in each school
VANDERBILT, MI -- Every student counts and on Wednesday, struggling schools hoped absences were down and children were in class.
Twice a year, schools do a student head count and Wednesday was one of those days.
The number of students is a major factor in how much revenue the districts will get from the state.
Some schools use big and small incentives to get kids in class on this important day.
In Vanderbilt, "School Count Day" coincides with "Student Appreciation Day." The students get a special treat. It's because school administrators say in a small school like this one, it's imperative every person is counted.
"Ice cream bribes people," laughs one Vanderbilt student.
And if bribery is what it takes, it's a small price to pay in the big picture. Wednesday, Vanderbilt students weren't only served the most popular lunch, called the "walking taco," the school sweetened the deal with community donated, all-you-can-eat ice cream.
"It's important for everyone to be here because if one person doesn't show up, then it's a big difference," said student Jake Ormsbee.
"Every dollar is extremely important, with all the cuts education has received, we can't afford to lose any of those students and the more students we get, the better off financially we are," said Vanderbilt Principal Michelle Kihn.
Here's how the funding works with Vanderbilt as the example: 155 students are enrolled, and each student receives about $7,400. 90 percent of the year's funding comes from the October count, which equals $1,032,300 in its yearly state funding.
The number of students is up one from last year. The other 10 percent in funding comes from a head count in February.
"We're small, we're struggling, we're doing whatever we can to get our numbers up, we have a great school, a great staff that's dedicated," said Kihn.
Traverse City had similar incentives Wednesday, including several schools having special lunches and activities to urge filled seats.
"The enrollment for TCAPS has been staying very steady, so this change to the 90 percent funding isn't going to have a huge impact on us, our enrollment is pretty steady and actually may be a little ahead of last year," said Traverse City Area Public Schools employee Chris Davis.
Still, both districts say with reduced state funding, revenue is more important than ever.
We also talked with Cadillac schools. They counted 95 fewer students from last year, a number the superintendent says isn't surprising because families are leaving the area to look for work.
Schools do have an extended window to count the students who had excused absences because of sickness.

What does Unit Engineering mean?
Today's Hudson First is Unit Engineering in 1932. Any clue what this is?
The 1932 models introduced "unit-construction" engineering, which combined the all steel body and floor pan together as a single unit. The "unit body" was attached to an X-member frame with twenty-two attachment points. Engineering and Safety!
This (above) practice was one of the reasons the thirties Hudsons were lighter than they looked. Mutually reinforcing frame and body meant each could be made a bit lighter.
Thank you both for your insight. Big help.
This (above) practice was one of the reasons the thirties Hudsons were lighter than they looked. Mutually reinforcing frame and body meant each could be made a bit lighter.
No-one quite believes me when I tell them that my '36 Terraplane is a fair bit lighter than my Subaru Impreza which looks very much smaller! -
Another thing that amazes folks is that from mid-thirties until the stepdowns, Hudsons typically had better than 50-50 weight distribution. My '47 C8 sedan has 150 pounds more on the rear axle than on the front. What other American car of the time matched that?
Indeed. I put my Terraplane over a weighbridge one axle at a time to work out the total car weight and front and rear axle weight, and it was also a little heavier in the rear than the front.
Park, according to the weight sheets I have in the General Information Handbook your Commodore 8 Sedan was listed with a shipping weight of 3330, license weight of 3305 and a total weight of 3430, split at 1730 front, 1700 rear.
Looking thru these sheets the balance is incredible. Most front and rear weights are within 50 or 60 pounds front to rear, or less.
Alex Burr
Memphis, TN -
Alex, I got that data from your info sheets, but must have misread something. Anyway, I'll take a 30 lb. difference as 50-50. I recall being astounded back in '55 when I stuffed an eight in a '35 Terraplane coach and it still had better than 50-50 distribution. No darn wonder it was hard to squeak the tires on my stock '37T !
Thank you everyone! Thanks for giving me some great information.
Todd -
It always amazes me that a lot of Hudson's weigh in at less than modern cars. I don't think the industry cares about weight savings much now. They should...we would probably get better gas mileage. Even with plastics and and aluminum block engines they weigh more which I don't quite understand how that is.
New car extra weight comes from a ton of insulation, so we can wisper to each other, A/C, cruise control, electric heated bucket seats, TV's and pretty much all the conviences of home except the kitchen sink. Unless it's a minni camper. LOL

Fabric of Their Lives
There's a new exhibition of works by the quilters of Gee's Bend, Alabama, whose lives have been transformed by worldwide acclaim for their artistry.
- By Amei Wallach
- Smithsonian magazine, October 2006, Subscribe
Annie Mae Young is looking at a photograph of a quilt she pieced together out of strips torn from well-worn cotton shirts and polyester pants. "I was doing this quilt at the time of the civil rights movement," she says, contemplating its jazzy, free-form squares.
Martin Luther King Jr. came to Young's hometown of Gee's Bend, Alabama, around that time. "I came over here to Gee's Bend to tell you, You are somebody," he shouted over a heavy rain late one winter night in 1965. A few days later, Young and many of her friends took off their aprons, laid down their hoes and rode over to the county seat of Camden, where they gathered outside the old jailhouse.
"We were waiting for Martin Luther King, and when he drove up, we were all slappin' and singin'," Young, 78, tells me when I visit Gee's Bend, a small rural community on a peninsula at a deep bend in the Alabama River. Wearing a red turban and an apron bright with pink peaches and yellow grapes, she stands in the doorway of her brick bungalow at the end of a dirt road. Swaying to a rhythm that nearly everyone in town knows from a lifetime of churchgoing, she breaks into song: "We shall overcome, we shall overcome...."
"We were all just happy to see him coming," she says. "Then he stood out there on the ground, and he was talking about how we should wait on a bus to come and we were all going to march. We got loaded on the bus, but we didn't get a chance to do it, 'cause we got put in jail," she says.
Many who marched or registered to vote in rural Alabama in the 1960s lost their jobs. Some even lost their homes. And the residents of Gee's Bend, 60 miles southwest of Montgomery, lost the ferry that connected them to Camden and a direct route to the outside world. "We didn't close the ferry because they were black," Sheriff Lummie Jenkins reportedly said at the time. "We closed it because they forgot they were black."
Six of Young's quilts, together with 64 by other Gee's Bend residents, have been traveling around the United States in an exhibition that has transformed the way many people think about art. Gee's Bend's "eye-poppingly gorgeous" quilts, wrote New York Times art critic Michael Kimmelman, "turn out to be some of the most miraculous works of modern art America has produced. Imagine Matisse and Klee (if you think I'm wildly exaggerating, see the show), arising not from rarefied Europe, but from the caramel soil of the rural South." Curator Jane Livingston, who helped organize the exhibition with collector William Arnett and art historians John Beardsley and Alvia Wardlaw, said that the quilts "rank with the finest abstract art of any tradition." After stops in such cities as New York, Washington, D.C., Cleveland, Boston and Atlanta, "The Quilts of Gee's Bend" will end its tour at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's de Young Museum December 31.
The bold drama of the quilt Young was working on in 1965 is also found in a quilt she made out of work clothes 11 years later. The central design of red and orange corduroy in that quilt suggests prison bars, and the faded denim that surrounds it could be a comment on the American dream. But Young had more practical considerations. "When I put the quilt together," she says, "it wasn't big enough, and I had to get some more material and make it bigger, so I had these old jeans to make it bigger."
Collector William Arnett was working on a history of African-American vernacular art in 1998 when he came across a photograph of Young's work-clothes quilt draped over a woodpile. He was so knocked out by its originality, he set out to find it. A couple of phone calls and some creative research later, he and his son Matt tracked Young down to Gee's Bend, then showed up unannounced at her door late one evening. Young had burned some quilts the week before (smoke from burning cotton drives off mosquitoes), and at first she thought the quilt in the photograph had been among them. But the next day, after scouring closets and searching under beds, she found it and offered it to Arnett for free. Arnett, however, insisted on writing her a check for a few thousand dollars for that quilt and several others. (Young took the check straight to the bank.) Soon the word spread through Gee's Bend that there was a crazy white man in town paying good money for raggedy old quilts.

Posted by jolee king jr on June 3,2008 | 07:51 PM
I just got back from the Tacoma Art Museum to see the Gee Bend quilts and still have etched on my mind the most striking art exhibit I have seen in years (from any museum, anywhere). The womanly art of quilting- that part that goes beyond the craft of stitching fabric together is newly defined by this collection and can be compared to nothing else. On the way out of town, I dropped in at the Washington State Historical Museum to see the "art quilt" exhibit there. I found myself disappointed as I immediately missed the uninhibited freedom and economy of the Gee' Bend quilts. To read their stories and soak in their art made this a day I will never forget.

Whimsical Rooster Watering Can
By Shannon
from Orlando, FL
I think it is super cute, and unique, however, a bit small. It will serve as a gift for my supervisor who has our office set up like a rain forest, she is always walking around watering all the plants. I know she will get a kick out of it for her birthday/can't wait to see her reaction! And, I know it will be used and make a great conversation item for her. I expect it to last as long as she'll have it, I really hope it does but it's too early to tell.

Advertising is an investment in the growth and future of your business. Consumers who buy products or services from firms like yours almost always buy them from a business that they knew about before their need occurred. Advertising increases the likelihood that more consumers will know who you are when they are ready to buy.
Advertising has other important benefits: it helps defend your revenue from competitors, it encourages repeat business, it can improve employee morale, and make it easier to hire the best people.
So should you advertise? Absolutely. The trick is finding the right medium for your business and budget. It's vital that whatever you choose, the media must reach enough of the right people, reach them frequently, and reach them with a compelling enough message to stick in consumer minds.

Juice Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer
Juice Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer Reviews
Bad reaction
I have used dermatologist recommended products for many years and I wanted to try something more natural and gentle. I reacted badly to the products... many breakouts. I ended up back in the dermatologist's office the day after Christmas. I contacted the company and they said I was probably allergic to one of the fruit acids. Definitely not a good match for my skin. — 5 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
Truly Oil-Free Moisturizer!
This is a very balancing lotion. I love the fact that this is organic because it makes it so pure and hypoallergenic, not to mention that it doesn't clog pores either. This was my first time trying a plant-based moisturizer too. In general, during dry seasons, my skin tends to get dry patches at my cheeks, jawline, or near the chin area ever after applying a moisturizer. With this, however, I di...read moredn't have any dry patches and it evened out my skin surface. It has no traces of silicon so it actually does help restore skin's surface and possibly boost cell renewal. I also loved the fact that it was so light-weight, even during the summer. I had no breakouts and my skin wasn't an oil slick! The best part is that its skin smoothing properties makes it possible for my skin to look and feel good for makeup application. The only downside that MIGHT happen for SOME, is that it could be sticky. That's how it was for me, so I tried a trick. I left my face slightly damp after washing it in the morning, THEN applied this moisturizer. My skin soaked it up immediately without feeling sticky and obviously, due to the dampness, the moisturizer had a better spread over the skin surface too. Overall, this is a very gentle, healing moisturizer. The only thing I could ask for is some SPF, but it really is so light-weight that I don't mind wearing sunscreen over it. Aside from the skyrocketing price of $28 for a 2oz. tube, I highly recommend trying this product! — 9 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Not good for people with Rosacea?
I received a small sample of this in my monthly Birchbox and I do like it but I did notice that after about 10 days of use my rosacea was a bit more noticeable. I checked out their website and some of their products (mostly the peels) were listed as a no go for people with rosacea, so I'm wondering if that translates slightly to their whole product range? The smell is great and it did leave my skin feeling great! — 1 year, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

When you are ahead of the HR for a large corporation no doubt all sorts of issues come across your desk and among them.
Both with victims who are alleged to be well they're not allegedly male or female -- -- victims who are male and female.
And you hear all sorts of things you better be able to explain.
What exactly harassment is in the workplace and specific to some of the breaking news this last week what sexual harassment is.
To talk about that is Gregory.
Human resources officer for Dow Jones to the Wall Street.
Journal Wall Street Journal's part of yeah -- this -- the -- you think anyway good to have you you know you're one of my favorites.
By the way it's Greg GA -- -- -- more cheese that you can imagine it's liable tweeted out so you've got -- want to follow him on Twitter you always have such great ideas.
-- for workplace issues and having good interviews and so on and so forth this morning that we're gonna talk a tough topic.
That's in the news primarily because -- -- GOP presidential candidate running right now who has women coming out of the woodwork.
Some of them are our public.
Others of them or not it yet.
Alleging sexual harassment what is a working definition for sexual harassment.
There are few workplace issues that are more serious more sensitive but also more ambiguous which makes it very difficult then the issue of sexual harassment.
Simply -- sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances.
Inappropriate comments requests for sexual favors that create a hostile work environment.
So when you talk about what a hostile work environment is.
And what really constitutes sexual -- harassment he can vary from workplace to workplace depending on the culture of the workplace.
And win the ambiguity comes and are they comments that are isolated that are -- that are pervasive and that's where the difficulty comes there.
Everyone knows the traditional stereotypical.
You have a supervisor there.
Who request sexual favors from a subordinate and if -- subordinate doesn't.
I'm acquiesce to those requests then they lose their job or they don't get a promotion or they suffer some other adverse employment action.
That's an obvious sexual harassment.
Less obvious are the ones that are not as overt and that's really what goes on in most.
When it happens it certainly doesn't want -- -- most workplaces but what happens it's it's much less over an -- You've got some examples and we can put this on the screen sexual innuendoes and a lot of people told jokes in the workplace.
You know an -- -- can be pretty rough and tumble places to work I mean I hear the F bomb -- its offensive but it's usually not a super.
You know yeah but we've gone through these long courses here work and -- something makes you feel uncomfortable you speak up.
And and it's very effective because a lot of times people don't even realize that they're offending you.
How do you handle a sexual innuendo and -- if -- got us to put up on the screen I'd love to see it.
I would have to type out.
Are okay -- how they weren't there can spell -- -- -- -- anyway co -- to another after an interview -- that is good for -- was it was for me.
Now I mean -- Right so it's OK let's talk about innuendoes in general innuendoes in general.
I have contacts anything can be made to sound completely innocent.
-- are being made to sound completely suggested.
So it really is that depends on the relationship between the two people it depends on how it said it depends on the contacts.
But the -- very clear about this.
Isolated incidents that are very serious.
Offhand comments and teasing is not illegal now in -- you -- -- issue is not.
Game it's an offhand.
If it's isolated.
If it's teens being and it's not very serious.
Then that's not a legal and what we know what they think is one man experience is another man's not closer -- that's where the ambiguity comes.
And and how serious.
The comment is it -- certainly can be.
One isolated incident that is so serious that merits.
-- jumps in termination immediately.
There are other isolated incidents that it's just two people who had a misunderstanding.
And the person who made the comment recognizes that it offended the other person can -- really apologetic.
And that kind of behavior never happens again they haven't been accused of that before you noted in a file or something like that.
If you don't need every single conversation between two employees in the workplace in a file that's all you be doing all they won't have.
I have to remember Harris it's what will happen.
Number is that the lies and learn the workplace has become our social places where we need to make friends it's where we meet -- and and and what do you mean it's a lot of people -- there's yeah.
Apple themselves so -- leaving out the good read the lives and behavior and what's acceptable and what's inside of -- -- outside of work having a drink after work and still working okay with colleagues.
Let let's -- they're getting asked out by a supervisor.
One example and I don't -- -- -- good luck it's his co worker.
I'm sorry I forgot to call you back have gonna make it -- -- supervisor says take me out for beer don't keep helping you know it's okay first -- -- else that's.
That what is a legal term and out when you asked for service that it.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Also print and didn't it keep it actually actionable -- that.
Legal that that's -- -- and you but as supervisors saying to a subordinate notes to opera beer that's not.
I mean I've gone -- I don't drink beer but I've gone out for wine.
You know an image that yeah I -- -- yes whatever that in the.
Order for you to get information or or in order -- -- to advance your career in order you to keep your job.
There is a quid pro quo you do this for me I -- do this for you.
And if that do this for me is something sexual nature that is clearly and obviously.
Sexual harassment.
Let's talk we have a wonderful historians sitting between this year and I don't want to -- David Patricia.
Joins us -- future erratic joins us.
In between Greg and -- it historically.
We saw Anita Hill we've seen women come forward.
What do you say historically about where this country might be abusive sexual harassment because we're really seeing the public backlash against Herman Cain that you have seen with the others maybe it's the nature of the allegations I don't know.
It's it's kind of seeping into the public consciousness.
There were polls which indicate Republicans were very aware of -- they were 80% aware.
Were very the half the people still didn't know anything about this.
What we're we're schizophrenic in this country about this.
I was yesterday afternoon the -- of the Letterman show and it was like Herman Cain highlight -- of jokes it was one after another.
The audience was all.
It seemed to be into it there where -- city on their hands.
I was sitting there I don't watch the Letterman show.
And frankly how much of the material on that show was sexually offense is yeah to me.
We are scared so you know this country as -- well I I think we're hypocrite and well yeah article -- And what god comes into the living rooms what comes into the monitors.
I'm here in your Green rooms from other networks or whatever.
Is is amazingly offensive but do that work and your -- talk about.
That was the difference I think it has changed dramatically and in human resources for over twenty years and I think there has been greatly heightened awareness.
These sensitive issues in the workplace and I have to say I believe most workplaces.
Have their act together and that means.
That they published policies and they make it very clear to employees.
What behavior is acceptable state standards of conduct.
And what the consequences are and just as importantly what the remedies are for employees who feel like -- -- -- to just then ever because I mean I gotta tell you these women who come out against Herman -- -- woman who -- 45000 dollars off.
Shouldn't say -- but was paid by the restaurant association.
I there was another will reportedly who was paid 35000 dollars this other woman the one who came forward the pilot woman.
Said that she hasn't been offered many admit that when asked -- one of the other networks would you accept it well.
Well -- just.
You know I mean she's thinking about it should consider -- bloody bloody.
I mean are we -- to -- does it if so does that maybe take away from from the sexual harassment.
I don't know if -- no.
-- just say do you think we are litigious society and I do you think.
The law actually address this that if you want to bring a claim against it an organization particularly in this area.
If the organization.
Has posted a policy made it clear to employees that this behavior is unacceptable.
And if you're subject to this behavior -- the remedies here -- the guidelines here that things you need to do to give the -- employer an opportunity to remedy the situation.
And you don't take advantage of that.
Then you're unlikely to and in -- court so that is to help.
Avoid all this unnecessary litigation.
We -- sometimes it's just misunderstandings or not misunderstanding but bad behavior doesn't rise in the level of harassment.
But needs to be addressed immediately need to be addressed.
-- And you need to make sure it doesn't happen again.
All right unwanted attention from clients.
This is tougher because I guess the client isn't necessarily anybody's employee.
You are sexual harassment can occur from clients -- -- from colleagues you know how really responsible.
The employer is responsible for protecting their -- let's read this on the screen getting don't want to suggest that attention from clients question I once was given a simple red rose by an important client it made me -- comfortable.
But I didn't know how to handle it I didn't want to make him mad what should I have done.
It cannot contact the context is so difficult there.
But if someone does one thing like that that makes you uncomfortable if -- to I think reasonable choices.
What has to say the person listen thank you very much for the gesture but in the future and this is not necessary.
This said that.
I say what you would say it is here but I had.
Yeah we'll let -- upset the client because that over the company and us.
You know I think people understand now so or if you're afraid that you might have set the client by saying that.
Then you ignore it the first time if it's just that one gesture and -- that one rose and there was no follow up nothing else adjust them about it.
If it doesn't happen again and then there's no harm no foul if it happens again or progresses from there -- you owe it to yourself.
I think the company frankly to tell that vendor listen.
Thank you very much of the attention this is not necessary what what we need to do is stick to the business relationship that we have and how -- help feeling that way.

To drain the wounds both those bodies -- pre made -- of the experts aren't sure exactly how they now.

Slowed by a pair of artificial hips, University of Miami basketball coach Jim Larranaga climbed gingerly up the ladder Saturday afternoon, scissors in hand, a sellout BankUnited Center crowd cheering him on, orange confetti littered all over the court, and an ill-fitting "ACC Champions!" T-shirt pulled over his suit and tie.
Blaring from the speakers was Drake's rap song: Started From the Bottom. The music is not exactly Larranaga's style, but it has become the rallying cry for this plucky Hurricanes team, which rose from unranked and unnoticed to No. 6 in the nation (as high as No. 2 a few weeks ago) and Atlantic Coast Conference regular- season champion after Saturday's 62-49 win over Clemson.
The coach clipped off what was left of the net, let out a few of his trademark piercing whistles, and waved that net around so hard it looked like his shoulder might come out of its socket. Larranaga then placed the net over his head and around his neck as if it were a diamond necklace.
"It's a piece of memorabilia you will keep for a lifetime," Larranaga said. "I still have pieces of net from years and years and years ago. It's something players feel is very special. You don't get to do it all the time. Some programs do it like almost annually. But we haven't done that here. When you do anything for the first time, it's very, very exciting."
The Hurricanes finished the regular season 24-6 overall and 15-3 in the ACC. Atop Duke. Atop North Carolina. Their 24 wins ties the school record set in 2001-02, when the Canes went 24-8. They will be the No. 1 seed when the ACC tournament opens Thursday in Greensboro, N.C.
The ladder, confetti and video montage had been on hold since Wednesday night, when the Canes were upset by Georgia Tech. Those three days of waiting and anxiety made the postgame celebration all the sweeter, as did the fact it happened on Senior Day, with the families of the team's five seniors in town for the big occasion.
Those proud mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles and cousins were treated to quite the emotional afternoon. So was the crowd of 7,972, which included Heat owner Micky Arison and former UM and Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly.
"It felt good," senior Trey McKinney Jones said of cutting the net. "We accomplished one of our goals. But this is not the last net I plan on cutting down."
Added sixth-year senior Julian Gamble: "It was surreal, hard to describe. This is something we've all dreamed about. After that loss Wednesday, we put a little bit more pressure on ourselves, but what better night to do it than Senior Night, for us seniors on our last time in this gym to win the outright championship is great.
"Going from being last in ACC, to being a team with a lot of expectations and not really living up to them, to this year people not thinking we were as good as we turned out to be. I wouldn't trade this for the world."
Gamble's only complaint was that the scissors were dull, and players had a hard time snipping the net. "That's the same scissors we use to cut our tape off every day, so we'll try to have some sharper ones when we get to Greensboro."
Of the seniors, Kenny Kadji had the biggest day. He was the game's leading scorer with a season-high 23 points and also had a game-high 12 rebounds. The score was tied 25-25 at halftime, and Kadji scored seven consecutive points early in the second half to open up a 34-28 lead. His three with 3:10 remaining put UM up 55-41.

User Review for Step2 WaterWheel Activity Play Table
I bought two of these for my nephews, and they each loved it! They are 16 mos. & 2.5 yrs., and they could pour water through the waterwheel ALL DAY; parents will enjoy the open-ended imaginative play it encourages. Setup couldn't have been simpler - just pop the legs in the bottom, put two pcs. on the wheel & fill it up!
User Review for Melissa & Doug Plush Giraffe
This giraffee is exactly what I hoped for and is even more adorable than the picture..it will be the pefect addition to my daughter's "zoo animal" nursery theme....those beautifully detailed eyes are so authentic.. I love it!!
User Review for Gigatent Fantasy Palace Play Tent
this was the best gift ever
User Review for Little Tikes Fold n' Store Picnic Table w/Umbrella
I was looking for templates to make my own kids' picnic table from lumber when i stumbled on this table. I do love to build, but i couldn't pass up a kids table that folds for storage, comes with an umbrella and seats 6 or more kids... for under $100! We did have a little trouble fitting the umbrella pole into the center hole in the table, but with a little advice from the little tikes customer service line (lubed it up with dish soap) it fit fine. I happen to be one of those crazy people who enjoy assembling things such as this, but this particular thing wasn't that fun. The directions weren't difficult to follow, but it was a little awkward at times. Take the advice in the directions and assemble this product on top of a work bench or table. All in all, a really great purchase.
User Review for Step2 Naturally Playful Big Folding Slide
I bought this slide for my grandson's 3rd birthday in June. He loved it and so did his 4 year old brother. After playing on it in the yard, the 4 year old suggested taking it to the pool. It was an even bigger success, they just love sliding on it. I don't know what they ever did without it. FIVE STARS!!!
Outdoor Toys
Outdoor toys are fun and family friendly but they provide a chance for the family to bond while enjoying some great weather and some exercise.
Play Tents N Tunnels are quickly becoming one of the more popular outdoor toys. The tents are great for camping in the backyard. They are a fantastic idea for the indoor as well. A child tent can become your child's own private place to hide and play and are often cozy enough to fit up to four children inside. Play tunnels are also fun and exciting for children. They are ideal for crawlers who want to play hide and seek or for bigger children who to attach them to child tents. Our models of play tents and tunnels come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Another popular child outdoor toy is the Sandbox. The sandbox is a classic outdoor toy which is enjoyed by children of all ages. We offer many different varieties of sandboxes. Take a look at the Step2 Crabbie Sandbox. This bright colored sandbox is perfect for sand and water play activities.

From swing sets to wagons, we have outdoor toys for all sorts of family enjoyment. Outdoor toys are great because they let your children let out all that stored up energy and they're not as wired at the end of the day. Some toys also expand the imagination and foster creativity.

National Summit 2012
On Thursday, 10th May 2012, we held our third national summit
Hosted by the Greater London Authority at City Hall, London the event included a range of debates both timely and relevant to the sector. The event was open to Network members, visual arts networks and people interested in knowing more about our work to date, and the topics we thought as a Network the visual arts should be discussing.
We created this page to provide information, along with papers and provocations related to the programme for the day.
Networking Event - ICA Debates
On Wednesday, 9th May 2012, the evening before the 3rd national summit, the ICA hosted a series of debates on behalf of Turning Point Network. Will Gompertz led the event, which included three debates.
Summit, Debate 1 - Measuring Value
What new forms of measuring value could we consider in order to find ways of:
- Advocating for the need for a myriad of visual art organisations to receive public funding?
- Articulating the deferred value of small organisations investing in or commissioning early artistic practice and CPD that leads to bigger and better things?
Find out more, and read about the panel...
Summit, Debate 2 - Alternative Economies
What other forms of non cash economies can we adopt to enable artists and organisations to continue to develop their practice in this difficult financial climate? What forms of gift economies are artists embracing within their work?
Find out more, and read about the panel...
Summit, Debate 3 - Conceptualising Engagement
Quality of experience is a key concept in Arts Council England's strategy, and a KPI for many NPO organisations, however, Arts Council England has not produced a conceptualisation that would enable this concept. Doing so is vital activity, so how do we do it and what should we consider?
Find out more, and read about the panel...
Summit, Debate 4 - Visual Arts and the Education Agenda
What arguments can the visual arts collate to demonstrate the value and importance of visual arts education within all levels of education provision and how can the sector support investment and growth within the creative industries post Education?

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Book Review - Prometheus: The Art of the Film
Prometheus: The Art of the Film, by Mark Salisbury. Foreword by Ridley Scott.
London, Titan Books, June 2012, hardback $39.95 (192 pages).
Prometheus: The Art of the Film, the coffee table art book for director Ridley Scott's Prometheus epic science-fiction feature, is a "visual companion" more than a "making of" volume.
As production designer Arthur Max explains, Prometheus is a not-quite-a-prequel to Scott's classic Alien (1979), about the discovery by the human crew of the interstellar tug Nostromo of the wreck of an ancient alien spaceship containing a deadly biological lifeform, on the distant planetoid LV-426. The vaguely-backplotted Alien gave rise to many questions, which Scott felt could be answered in a new film with no direct connection to Alien.
Prometheus, released on June 8, 2012, begins with a scene of a huge humanoid on primordial Earth disintegrating himself so that his DNA will eventually evolve into humanity. In 2089 A.D., archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) discover a 35,000-year-old star map on the Isle of Skye that they feel proves the extraterrestrial origin of mankind. Elderly mega-rich industrialist Sir Peter Weyland offers his corporate resources to construct an exploratory spaceship, the Prometheus, to investigate the location on the star map that they hope will lead to these "Engineers". In 2093 Prometheus, with a crew of about a dozen in cryogenic suspension watched over by the android David (Michael Fassbender) reach the planet labeled LV-223. They find a lifeless world with several spaceships of the Engineers, including one with the pilot still aboard near a huge artificial Pyramid. Over the course of the film, the Pyramid proves to contain numerous active deadly lifeforms (including a prototype of the later Alien) which they theorize are biological weapons of the Engineers. The one Engineer proves to be still alive and attacks them. To keep the Engineer from returning to Earth and releasing his deadly cargo there, the Prometheus crashes into it. The film ends with Shaw and the decapitated but still active head of David, the only survivors, preparing to leave on one of the other Engineer ships to search for the Engineers' origins and learn why they are hostile to humans.
(This answers several of the questions raised by Alien, such as how the Weyland Corporation, the owner of the Nostromo, already knew about the "face-huggers" and wants a specimen.)
