SocialGrow needs to do either ReturnPath or SendGrid to ensure our emails are whitelisted.
How do you compare the two? Under the Silver SendGrid option it looks like we are required to separately get an account and pay a fee with ReturnPath also.
I called the sales lines for both today several times and just got dumped into general mailbox.
Does anybody have experience with either one or could compare the two?

Leaving your car in the hands of a new driver can lead to unexpected consequences. With in-car surveillance cameras from BrickHouse Security, you'll always be with your teen driver or employee, promoting good habits. Choose from any number of functions, from car security cameras that face inside and outside, to in-car video systems with built-in GPS logging software so you get detailed location and speed alerts in addition to any video you capture. These car cameras are also great for providing evidence in case of an accident or insurance dispute.
An in-car camera is a great investment for any car owner, the same way an indoor camera system is for a home owner. One can be used as a car security camera or to to monitor the driving habits of employees or new drivers. Those designed as security cameras for cars will usually have features like night vision and a long battery life. A dashboard camera may also include features like GPS logging and speed reporting. For some, a miniature camera can make a good low-cost car cam. Though not particularly designed for the application, they are usually motion activated and capable of capturing any vandalism or break-in. Turning your car keys over to an employee or teen driver can be a scary prospect. Protect your investment with an in-car camera. Solutions like the View-I Dual Car Cam not only records video inside and outside your vehicle, but it also registers GPS data for total car monitoring. Get detailed speed reports as well as video evidence of your employee or child's driving habits in order to promote responsible driving. A car security camera can also be the perfect solution to avoid insurance disputes. Capturing video evidence of an accident can be essential in building a court case and proving guilt or innocence. Those interested in securing their vehicle from the exterior in a driveway or parking lot may also be interested in a license plate camera which can often be integrated into wired or wireless home security systems.

Well this just points up the potential for that entire contaminated West Valley Nuclear Waste Site to be swept into Cattaraugus Creek and Lake Erie. If the site is not dug up and cleaned out- bye bye Lake Erie.

Any idea how this has affected the DOE project and the "still migrating plume of radioactive groundwater"!?? http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/43501.html Has there been a radiation survey performed on the Cattaraugus Creek since the storms?

If you were between six and ten years old during the years 1971 through 1985, then there is a good chance you learned to read with help from The Electric Company. Comedy sketches, music, animation and special effects were the tools of this "video" classroom. Bill Cosby, Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Spider-Man Road Runner and others were the teachers.
The Electric Company was a product of its... (read more) time - perennially cool and hip, while never wavering from its educational goals; it was full of wit and energy and made learning to read fun. So, take a trip back in time with Spider-Man, Letterman, J. Arthur Crank, the Short Circus, Jennifer of the Jungle, DJ Mel Mounds, Easy Reader, Paul the Gorilla, Lorelei the Chicken and all the rest with THE BEST OF THE ELECTRIC COMPANY.

Gunter Grass's Poem About Israel, Iran, and War, Translated
by Heather Horn (source: The Atlantic) April 10, 2012On Wednesday, Nobel-winning German writer Günter Grass published a poem denouncing Israel's nuclear program and aggression toward Iran. The poem, in which Grass says he has kept silent on the issue for fear of being labeled anti-Semitic, has sparked controversy within Germany, where relations with Israel are often colored by a sense of national guilt for the Holocaust. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the poem's assertion that Israel poses a greater threat to world peace than Iran a "shameful moral equivalence." The poem also laments Germany's decision to sell submarines to Israel that are capable of launching nuclear weapons. ››read more
Threat of military attack on Iran not legal
(source: Leadership Online) April 10, 2012The International Association of Democratic Lawyers has condemned, in the strongest possible terms, the statement by United States President Barack Obama that the window for finding a solution to the standoff with Iran over its nuclear programme was closing and that intervention by Western powers in Syria is fast approaching. The association adds that these threats "are prohibited by the United Nations Charter and the doctrine of jus cogens." ››read more
Are we serious about talking with Tehran?
by Stephen M. Walt (source: Foreign Policy) April 10, 2012For the life of me, I can't figure out what the Obama administration is thinking about Iran. And I can't tell if the administration is more confused than I am. Let me explain. ››read more

IMPORTANT NOTE: Several publications have reported that 31% of US adults prefer to be contacted via text message. In fact, this question was asked of cell phone owners who use text messaging, and 31% of these text messaging users prefer to be contacted via text when someone needs to reach them.
Some 83% of American adults own cell phones and three-quarters of them (73%) send and receive text messages. The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project asked those texters in a survey how they prefer to be contacted on their cell phone and 31% said they preferred texts to talking on the phone, while 53% said they preferred a voice call to a text message. Another 14% said the contact method they prefer depends on the situation.
Heavy text users are much more likely to prefer texting to talking. Some 55% of those who exchange more than 50 messages a day say they would rather get a text than a voice call.
Young adults are the most avid texters by a wide margin. Cell owners between the ages of 18 and 24 exchange an average of 109.5 messages on a normal day—that works out to more than 3,200 texts per month—and the typical or median cell owner in this age group sends or receives 50 messages per day (or 1500 messages per month).
Overall, the survey found that both text messaging and phone calling on cell phones have leveled off for the adult population as a whole. Text messaging users send or receive an average of 41.5 messages on a typical day, with the median user sending or receiving 10 texts daily – both figures are largely unchanged from what we reported in 2010. Similarly, cell owners make or receive an average of 12 calls on their cells per day, which is unchanged from 2010.
These results come from a nationally representative phone survey of 2,277 adults ages 18 and older conducted from April 26-May 22, 2011, including 755 cell phone interviews. The margin of error for the whole survey is +/-2.3 percentage points, while the margin of error for cell phone users is +/-2.7 percentage points.

The Conyers Garden Club met at the home of Susan Dodd on Nov. 13, with Susan Hicks and Joyce Andrews as hostesses. The members received a most informative program led by Elaine Nash of the Georgia Exotic Pest Plant Council. Ms. Nash discussed and identified native intrusive plants. She also gave the names and habitats of many Georgia native plants. These were pointed out as the members walked through the woods to the lake on Ms. Dodd's property.
Next, on Dec. 11, the Conyers Garden Club held its Christmas meeting at Beverly Rohrabaug's farm. The hostesses were Kathy Williams and Susan Klem. A highlight of the meeting was the traditional wrapping of Christmas gifts in all natural materials. Before opening the gifts, members shared how they created the packages. It was a festive, holiday gathering.More like this story

WVBR's Bound for Glory, North America's longest running live folk concert broadcast, broadcasts live from the Cafe at Anabel Taylor Hall at Cornell, on Sunday nights. Bound for Glory brings central New York another series of free folk concerts, on WVBR-FM, 93.5 and 105.5, and streaming on line at http://wvbr.com. We promise some excellent acoustic music, presented by long-time host Phil Shapiro.
The show runs Sunday nights from 8 to 11, with live sets at 8:30, 9:30, and 10:30. All three sets are different. Come to as many sets as you wish. Admission in the live audience at the Cafe at Anabel Taylor Hall, is free and is open to everyone in the area. Kids are always welcome. Refreshments are available. For further information, call Phil Shapiro at 607-844-4535, or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Find out about upcoming Bound for Glory shows, and about how you can help, through the Friends of Bound for Glory, by looking up http://wvbr.com on the Web. Everyone can listen to Bound for Glory on line. The website tells you how.
JUNE 26 ROD MacDONALD. Rod MacDonald is a long time Bound for Glory favorite. He's a social commentator with a sense of humor, but that humor's got a bite to it. He's a storyteller in songs, and he's a strong, and fun, performer. He comes to us from Florida these days. Welcome him back. http://rodmacdonald.net
JULY 3 ANDREW CALHOUN. Andrew Calhoun is a powerful songsmith, a quiet and sly performer, and a fine traditional singer as well. He's been researching the old American folk songs, and putting them back together the way they once were. He's fascinating and unpredictable. In from Illinois. http://andrewcalhoun.com
JULY 10 NORTH WATER. The duo North Water plays pre-bluegrass, early bluegrass, and old country songs. They come down from the North Country, and they'll probably bring some friends with them. Good harmonies, and harmonica, too. Full of surprises.
JULY 17 MAC BENFORD. Mac Benford is one of America's foremost clawhammer banjo players, and a fine, if quirky, singer of really old Appalachian songs. He radiates magic and good humor. At this stage we don't know if he'll be solo or with friends. He's a musical treasure, and he doesn't live very far away. Welcome him back. http://macbenford.com .
JULY 24 PETER SIEGEL. Peter Siegel calls what he does Radical Roots Music. He's a social commentator. And a singer of old songs, folk, pop, and jazz. He's a bundle of energy, who puts songs together in unusual combinations, and really gets the audience involved. Much fun. http://petersiegel.com
JULY 31 FRANKIE ARMSTRONG. We end our summer season, and our 44th year, with glorious British singer Frankie Armstrong. For forty five years she has been performing the old British ballads, and newer songs that fit with them. She's still got a big voice, and the ability to reach out to the audience, making these old stories live again. A wonderful show. http://frankiearmstrong.com .
From AUGUST 7th through the 21st, Bound for Glory will be Albums from the Studios, as Cornell resumes its Summer Break, and the Cafe at Anabel Taylor is closed. Give Phil a call at 607-273-2121. The 45th year of WVBR's Bound for Glory starts on August 28th.

Rising up from the frigid waters of the Aegean, Astarte intends to launch a scathing blackened musical assault on your ears. While they may be better known for their atypical band lineup than for their music, they mean business on this release, their fifth full-length in the past decade. Often dubbed a black metal act, this is my first experience with these Greeks and I hear a lot of melody lurking beneath the icy riffs and screams from the nether world.
Arguments can go back and forth over whether this is more black or more death, but who cares, it is heavy and that's what matters. The production has a loud modern sound with a dominant placement for the guitars and vocals. The drums could sound better, as they tend to blur together when too much is happening.
"Mutter Astarte" kicks things off with a thrashy feel complete with strong riffing and leads. I hear some of Arch Enemy's better moments in this song and others throughout the album. Maybe not-so-coincidentally, Angela Gossow drops by to guest on a song towards the end of the album. Guest appearances are all over this album, including Henry from God Dethroned and Attila of Mayhem. The other special guest is Nicolas Sic Maiis, from lead singer Tristessa's other band Lloth. He steps in on a barnburner of a song called "God Among Men". The chorus riff is whiplash-inducing. "Lycon" (with Attila) exposes their blackened roots with requisite tremolo progressions. "Everlast", part I of an acoustic guitar and piano pair of songs generates a compelling juxtaposition when a distorted guitar and her usual harsh vocals play atop the mellow piano during the song's climax. "Everlast II" keeps it instrumental and quiet, providing a calming end to the album.
Demonized is a caustic disc of extreme metal; thrash, death, and black. It has moments that drag, as all albums do, but certain moments when they really lock in are inspiring. I can imagine this record appealing to a wider set of fans than those that will actually get to hear it due to their small-label representation, so take a few minutes out of your day and spin a few of these songs.

An accident can happen at any time to anyone. Considering equal rights for accident victims and those at fault is therefore information with meaning for everyone.
It is not unusual for an accident victim to have a difficult time receiving payment due to them after an accident. It can be complicated for the person at fault as well. Dealing with insurance companies often comes into play throughout this process. This is when the lawyer is called to help the victim collect damages and to make sure everyone involved enjoys equal rights.
Calling on a lawyer helps those involved because a lawyer has been taughtto understand the law. Lawyers are trained to help accident victims and make sure they are provided with the proper benefits. If you are in Illinois, Chicago accident lawyers can not only help those who are not to blame for their accident, but those who are at fault, as well.
The issues can involve dealing with insurance agencies or others involved with the accident. There are financial responsibility laws to consider, as well as the rights of a client who is without insurance. Maybe the accident involves another party who is not covered by insurance. A person might be seeking monetary damages or coverage for bodily injury suffered.
No matter the situation, a lawyer can help clients or potential clients get equal justice. They can provide representation for their client and access case histories that could help with the case. Accident lawyers stay up-to-date on new laws or any changes in the laws.

The 2012-13 US Soccer Development Academy preview is out and US Soccer Technical Staff Carson Porter had some high praise for Crew Academy standout Benny Swanson and the advatage of playing up in the system.
Academy teams that benefit from players playing up:
Porter: "The Columbus Crew does a nice job playing players up. Ben Swanson is a '97-born player who has just moved to Bradenton, Fla., and joined the U.S. U-17's and he benefitted from being a starter for the entire year last year with the U-15/16's despite playing up an age level. He also was rostered for the U-17/U-18's when they made the playoffs. These are great experiences that helped prepare him for the YNT system."
The college soccer season continued through the holiday weekend. Here's how some former Crew Youth players fared:
Akron Zips- (2-0-1) This Week: 1-1 D vs. Creighton, 2-1 W vs. SIU Edwardsville
Following the news that Head Coach Caleb Porter would become the next head coach of the Portland TImbers at the end of the season, Akron traveled to Omaha for the Ameritas Classic. The No. 6 Zips opened play with a 1-1 draw against hosts No. 3 Creighton on Friday. On Sunday, Akron beat SIU Edwardsville 2-1 with help Captain and Crew Soccer Academy product Chad Barson's opening tally. Wil Trapp, Andrew Souders, Eric Stevenson, and Thomas Schmitt all played key roles for the Zips in both results.
Louisville Cardinals- (1-2-0) This Week: 3-1 W vs. Belmont, 1-0 L at SLU
The Cardinals rebounded from last week's 3-0 loss to Maryland with a 3-1 rout of Belmont behind CSA's Alex Obbey's first goal of the season. Louisville suffered its second lost of the season Tuesday night on the road at Saint Louis.
Xavier Musketeers- (2-0-1) This week: 2-1 W vs. Wright State, 2-1 W vs. Cincinnati
Both Matt and Will Walker started and played significant minutes in the 24th ranked Musketeers' first win of the season against Wright State last Thursday in a 2-1 victory. The Walker twins each registered an assist in Xavier's weekend win against crosstown rival Cincinnati. Will Walker also had the game-winning goal in the 2-1 victory. Freshman Rhodes Moore played 27 minutes.
Boston College Golden Eagles- (1-0-0) This Week: 1-0 L vs. Boston U., 1-0 W vs. Fairfield
Goalkeeper Justin Luthy suffered his first loss of the season in crosstown showdown with Boston University on August 27 before earning his first shutout of the season at Fairfield on Monday night. Next up for Luthy and the No. 13 Golden Eagles is their opening ACC match against No. 4 Maryland.
UCLA Bruins- (1-1-1) This Week: 2-2 D at Maryland, 1-0 W at Virginia
Captain Matt Wiet led the No. 14 Bruins to a 2-2 draw on the road at Maryland in FOX Soccer Channel's National Game of the Week on Friday. To cap off the east coast road trip, UCLA traveled to Charlottesville, VA to top Virginia 1-0 in overtime.
The college soccer season kicked off this past weekend. Here's a look at how some Crew Youth alumni started the season in NCAA Division I:
Akron Zips- (1-0-0) This Week:4-0 W vs. Florida Gulf Goast.
Caleb Porter started five Crew Youth products in the Zips' rout of Florida Gulf Coast Friday night. Wil Trapp, Chad Barson, Eric Stevenson, Thomas Schmitt, and freshman Andrew Souders all played starting roles in the 4-0 win. Stevenson and Schmitt scored the first two goals of the match. In addition, Stevenson supplied the assist to Schmitt on his way to being named to College Soccer News' National Team of the Week.
The Crew's Director of Soccer Business Development, Jeremy Parkins, was at Cub Cadet Field for the season opener: "It was exciting to see five former players from our system have the opportunity to start for one of the top teams in the country... The first goal of the evening was Eric Stevenson with a shot from about 20 yards out, and so it was exciting to see that go in. Then, Eric found Thomas Schmitt for the second goal. It was exciting to see our guys scoring goals."
Louisville Cardinals- (0-1-0) This Week: 0-3 at Maryland
The Cardinals opened the season with a 3-0 loss on the road to Maryland. 2010 product Alex Obbey came off the bench and had one of Louisville's better chances in the 40th minute, but his attempt was blocked by the Maryland defense.
Xavier Musketeers- (0-0-1) This week: 1-1 D at Northwestern
Both Matt and Will Walker started and played significant minutes in the Musketeers' road draw against Northwestern. Matt Hill and freshman Rhodes Moore each came off the bench for Xavier. Matt Walker recorded three shots with one being on target, while Moore was able to force one shot in the stalemate.
Boston College Golden Eagles- (1-0-0) This Week: 2-1 W at Quinnipiac
Goalkeeper Justin Luthy saved five shots to help the No. 14 Golden Eagles to the 2-1 victory. Boston College returns to action Monday night against Boston University.
UCLA Bruins- (0-1-0) This Week: 3-2 L vs. New Mexico
The second-ranked Bruins fell to No. 6 New Mexico on Friday night. Defender Matt Wiet played the whole match and nearly recorded an assist from a long throw-in. UCLA returns to action on the road against Maryland on August 31.
The good folks at TopDrawerSoccer.com, Travis Clark and J.R. Eskilson, highlighted the Top 30 Homegrown prosepects playing in NCAA Division I this season. Which one of these players will follow in the footsteps of Aaron Horton, Matt Lampson, and Ben Speas?
From the article:
D Chad Barson, Akron, Senior (Columbus Crew): A solid center back and experienced senior -- Barson has played in 73 games in his college career to this point -- Barson is going to be a prominent figure on Akron's side once again.
MF Wil Trapp, Akron, Sophomore (Columbus Crew): A starter from day one for the Zips, Trapp is a deep-lying holding midfielder and member of the U20 MNT. He'll be a big part of Akron's season this fall, and is a strong candidate to sign a pro contract one day.
D Matt Wiet, UCLA, Senior (Columbus Crew) The two-time UCLA defensive MVP is going to get plenty of attention from the Crew staff. He is a center back with decent skill who is probably worthy of a Homegrown deal today. However, Crew signing both Barson and Wiet seems like overkill.

After spending the summer playing with the United States U-15 and U-17 National Teams, Crew Soccer Academy standout Benny Swanson has accepted an offer to participate in the US U-17 Residency program in Bradenton, Florida.
The 15-year-old Grove City native hopes his decision will help him secure a spot in next year's U-17 World Cup.
"It's a great opportunity. It was kind of hard to pass up," Swanson said. "The [FIFA U-17] World Cup is next year in Dubai. I would like to make that roster, hopefully. If I don't, I hope I just learn every day in training in that environment with that pro mentality."
"It's great for our organization," Crew Technical Director Brian Bliss said. "Obviously it's a little bit premature to be speaking about Benny as a future pro for the club, but he's on the right track. It gives credibility to our organization on the youth side as to what we're doing."
Bliss says residency can only help Swanson's promising skill set.
"Right now, he's only getting three or four days of training each week, he's going to get five or six days each week training with the top players in the country at his age [in Bradenton]." Bliss explained. "He's got the ability to break down players off of the dribble and create on his own. He works for the good of the team in terms of being a team player. He's got an eye for the pass and can deliver it. He's got a multitude of skills and being in that environment for the next year, it's going to make him a better player."
The young midfielder's drive and skill set reminds Bliss of a certain US Men's National Team mainstay.
"He's got a lot of things Michael Bradley had," Bliss said. "Bradley grew physically really quick at the end, but he was also undersized. [Bradley] had the ability to dribble, pass, create, and had the same attitude and hunger for the game that Benny has. There are some comparisons. They may be unfair because Michael is a full national team player and I don't want to put pressure on [Swanson], but he's got a lot of this same [skills]."
Being in the same sentence with Bradley and others who attended the U-17 Residencty previously such as Landon Donovan, Brek Shea, and Eddie Gaven is still surreal Swanson says, but he remains determined to one day don the Black & Gold as a professional.
"It's kind of surreal, but I've been working hard. That's where hard work will get you," Swanson said. "The Crew has helped me a lot to progress as a player and as a person."
"[Playing professionally for the Crew] would be a dream come true," he finished.
The Crew Soccer Academy's U17 squad finished in third place of the 2012 Generation Adidas Cup Thursday in Tukwila, Washington. The U17s topped the San Jose Earthquakes side 3-2 behind Benny Swanson's game-winner.
Hilliard native Nathan Kohl won the Golden Boot at the tournament, scoring six goals in all.
The squad was made up of players born in 95 and 96 from CSA, CSA Wolves, Challenger Crew Juniors and Grand Rapids Crew Juniors:
Matthew Appel (Canal Winchester, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
William Bayemi (Canal Winchester, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Aiden Bean (Powell, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Brady Blackwell (Dublin, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Sam Brown (Ann Arbor, MI) Crew Soccer Academy Wolves
Julian Castro (Lorain, OH) Challenger Crew Juniors
Georges Daoud (Columbus, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Dominic Grida (North Royalton, OH) Challenger Crew Juniors
Carter Grimm (Columbus, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Noah Hutchins (Columbus, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Tyler Kidwell (Dublin, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Nathan Kohl (Hilliard, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Andrew Lewis (Rockford, MI) Grand Rapids Crew Juniors
Andrew McKelvey (Dublin, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Charlie Reymann (Worthington, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Carter Richardson (Dublin, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
John Schuman (Columbus, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Ryan Scott (Grand Rapids, MI) Grand Rapids Crew Juniors
Benjamin Swanson (Grove City, OH) Crew Soccer Academy
Blake Townes (Canton, MI) Crew Soccer Academy Wolves
The Crew Juniors U-19 advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championship game with 2-1 victory over Empire United SA Syracuse on Thursday morning behind goals from Mike Walker and Cole Denormandie. The 2012 National Championship game will be televised on Fox Soccer Channel at 8pm Saturday night live from Rock Hill, SC. Midfielder Wil Trapp will join the U-19s for the National Championship, fresh off a fourth-place finish with the United States U-20 Men's National Team at the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland.
Captained by Crew Soccer Academy product and Akron standout Wil Trapp, the United States U-20 Men's National Team beat Turkey 1-0 on Monday to advance to the third place match on Thursday against Chile. The U-20s rebounded from a 2-1 defeat to defending champion Denmark in their opening match on July 21.
The U-20 National Team's assistant coach Brian Bliss will return to Columbus following Thursday's match to resume his duties as Technical Director for the Crew. Soon after, Trapp will return to Akron to begin training for the 2012 season.
Crew Technical Director and United States U-20 Men's National Team assistant coach Brian Bliss and Crew Soccer Academy product Wil Trapp left Columbus on Monday for the 2012 Milk Cup in Northern Ireland. The U-20s will train at Liverpool FC's facilities this week before their opening match on Saturday against defending champions Denmark. After finishing in third place last year, Trapp feels the U-20s are poised to make a run at the title in 2012.
"I'm pretty excited," the Akron midfielder said last week. "We've got a good group going. I think with the team we have, we can make a good run at the final."
"The level of competition is good," Bliss added. "It's still, from those countries and the U.S. as well, the preparatory phase leading up to the next cycle for the (FIFA U-20 World Cup) qualifying period. So it's a good opportunity for us to get into Europe and play some quality European teams to measure ourselves and see where we're at. We're looking forward to it. We've been invited to that tournament for a number of years and we've done well in the past there. I think we have the same expectations this time around."
Trapp has split his time between this summer between the U-20 National Team, training with the Crew, and playing with Bliss and the Crew Juniors Super-20s.
"I've been playing a lot of high quality games, training with the Crew as well has been helping me a lot," Trapp said of his progression in 2012. "Just working on speed of play, it's gotten a lot faster. My range of passing as well. I think playing with the National Team, as well as training (with the Crew), has really pushed me to the next level a little bit more."
"(Trapp) brings the same stuff to the table every time," Bliss complimented the Gahanna native. "He brings a good attitude, professionalism, he knows his role, and he's a leader when he's on the field. Organizing, he's generally in possession of the ball, and guys look to him for that stuff whether it's with (the Crew) or the U-20s."
The U-20 National Team will compete against Chile, Denmark, Mexico, Turkey, and host Northern Ireland at the Milk Cup.
The Crew Juniors Under-20 team, coached by Crew technical director Brian Bliss, closed out the USL Super-20 regular season by winning the Midwest Division with a perfect 7-0-0 record. In the last three games of the season, the CJ 20s defeated Cincinnati's Kings Soccer Academy 6-1 on July 5, followed by a pair of Michigan club's – 2-0 over Waza FC on July 7 and 8-1 over Alliance Academy on July 8. The 20s are now qualified for the USL Super-20 Championships in Bradenton, Fla., which are set to begin on July 19.

What's your plan for introducing the baby to Jessa?
Just kidding…our friends gave us some information they had read about it when they had their little boy, so we'll go through that and heed the advice. As well, I'm going to check out what Cesar Milan says about it (no, seriously) because he knows his shit.
The things I've learned thus far are bringing something that the baby was wearing home from the hospital before we bring the baby home so Jess can smell it and become familiar; practice pushing the stroller around while walking Jessa (we have to do this for sure as Jess is a little scared of big roll-y things); train her to not come into the baby's room unless invited (this will be hard as it used to be Jessa's room…oops); and just make sure to give her lots of love and attention so she knows she's still important (this is not something we learned from anywhere, this is just something we will do because…well, because).
We'll see, though. I already feel awful because she's definitely responding to the changes around the house already, like my ever expanding belly (there's getting to be very little room on my lap for her), the fact that we're constantly keeping the place spotless for showings (I think she gets sad when we vacuum up her hair off the rug), and just the energy in general. Our girl is a bit anxious and is definitely responding. So hopefully she'll react well to the baby. I just want her to be happy…it breaks my heart to think that she might freak out about it and be sad.
Sigh. Here's hoping.

Flanders wants Western Front added to UNESCO'S World Heritage List
The Flemish minister-president Kris Peeters was in London last weekend for the official inauguration of the Flanders Field Memorial Garden. Designed by Bruges landscape architect Piet Blanckaert, the garden contains 70 sandbags of soil gathered from First World War military cemeteries in Belgium. At the ceremony, Peeters said the garden "symbolised the coming home of the sons of Great Britain who did not return from Flanders Fields". He added that the Flemish government is now in talks with UNESCO to have the Western Front battlefields and war cemeteries recognised as a World Heritage Site by 2016.

(Suitable from 6 months)
Order in the next 9 hours 13 minutes for express home delivery on Monday
The basic booster is a must for any household.
It is suitable for children who can sit unaided and can be used up to a maximum weight of 22.7kgs (50lbs).
The booster has a 3 point safety harness so your child will be restrained in comfortably and most importantly safely whilst they are in the seat. There is also an attachment strap to secure your booster to the chair and hold it in place.
The booster also has 4 white rubber feet to ensure a firmer grip to the chair that it is positioned on.
It is made from plastic and can be cleaned easily using a damp cloth to wipe over it.
Suitable from approximately 6 months to approximately 4 years
This booster seat is brilliant for meal times. We previously ordered a few to allow our younger children to sit at the table with the older children, this has proved very successful and has encouraged social interaction between all ages, making dinner time more relaxing, calming and a group activity. It has encouraged children to try feed themselves, when they can see older children doing it, try new foods, and feel part of the group. It is easy to clean and we also use it for our day to day activities such as painting ect. I would defiantly recommend this booster seat! Stacey - childminder
We use this product at various times throughout the day. Very east to clean apart from the straps, but with a 22month old it's fairly unavoidable. Otherwise it's the perfect chair for my child!
Excellent value for money
Sturdy but comfortable booster chair. Great value, much cheaper than many others of the same design and material. Easy to fit to a chair and nice colour. My 18 month old loves to now sit at the table with us! Only downside is the chair now won't go under the table with the seat attached however that's more our style of table and chair than the seat.
Bought 2 of these as I am a grandparent of twins. Used in my house every time they visit. Good progression from high chair, very stable and enables children to sit at the table and be part of the meal with adults. Very easy to clean.

I find it amusing that the 2-3 people who are always so eager to comment and demonstrate their…Read More'outr age" and "disgust" when anyone even mentions for a split second that maybe faas has some ares that need immediate and drastic improving in order to better serve the community and the animals in their care, are, all of the sudden strangely quiet when it comes to actually trying get something accomplished to save the life of one of the animals they claim to care so much about...this dog would have been put to sleep...that was the solution on how to deal with such a "dangerous" creature...i hope now people can begin to see that all of the times someone said "that dog didnt need to be put to sleep" or "the management at faas set that dog up for failure" or "faas is NOT doing the right thing and just sweeping it under the rug"...nobody was making that up. it was all true. This is the first time anyone from faas has shown any form of diligence in their moral duties, and look at what happened. turns out that this puppy wasn't "dangerous and vicious". great job Trish King! Another perfect assessment based on your 20 however many years of "experience". For the sake of the animals i hope you are proven wrong many more times in the future. Oh, and Mim, if you are reading this, maybe you can start seeing ALL of the animals in your care as something more than liabilities and numbers on a spreadsheet, or are we all going to have to suffer through another one of those misleading "euthanasia is a last resort at the Alameda Animal Shelter" type posts?

The shelter needs to stop looking at their animals as liabilities and numbers, because they are…Read Morepain feeling, breathing, loving beings that just need a chance and someone to believe in their ability to be rehabilitated. There are some animals out there that should be humanely euthanized, but this beautiful and loving girl does not fit that category. She is not a dangerous dog, and deserves a chance at a wonderful life around people that will love her.

Well if it's happened before, maybe that's why it doesn't look too serious? My feeling is that they …Read Moremust assume that it isn't an actual threat but a hoax. Of course you would want to be cautious and cover your bases anyway. I guess you can't close the school every time there is a vague threat. As far as the date goes, it didn't seem to have significance to me either, but maybe it is significant to the person that placed the grafitti. It just seems like a pretty strange handling of it to send parents at Paden and Bay Farm the same letter as you send to the parents at Alameda High.

Are they worth doin? or do you cover all the correct leg muscles doin deads and squats ?
Are they worth doin? or do you cover all the correct leg muscles doin deads and squats ?
They pretty much cover the vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis and the rectus femoris because the 4 muscles need to some together to create the movement so do build up a lot of solid muscle but adductor and abductor work is needed aswell.
I personally don't like them. Leg extensions (and leg curls) shouldn't be used as a substitute for squats and deadlifts, which should form the basis of your leg workout regime.
I do leg curls as they're directly applicable to guard. Leg extensions suck though, squats and deadlifts are the way.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
Leg curls make sense to me. Tonnes of people have weak hamstrings (Myself included) which actually bring your squat down and make your legs more prone to injury.
No longer playing World of Warcraft. Goodbye fond memories
Don't hang around under bridges if your scared of being trolled!
Yeah, true. But squats and deadlifts are better to train that movement
Leg curls don't really have a better option. You can get pieces of equipment where you basically do the opposite of a leg curl (hold your feet in place and raise your body) but I've never seen one let alone tried it out so no idea how good they are.
Hamstrings are worked in squats and dl, but only as an antagonist so they're not getting a particularly hard workout.

Oh honey I know, I do. I get so frustrated sometimes, so down. I think, jeepers, shouldn't it be easier than this by now? Shouldn't I be better at this? Haven't I learned anything at all?
What I have learned, though, when I am in those fox-nipping spots, is to do exactly what you did: wait in faith. Wait in faith for beauty. It always appears. He always appears.
Love you, Laura. - July 16, 2012 at 11:00 AM

I feel this with you. That guilty feeling of circling back around to truth when I think I should already know it. Diana Trautwein said this to me once and I've held it close to my heart: Life is a spiral, you know? We keep circling around our core issues. The beautiful thing is,it takes less time each go-round. And this: It doesn't make you unsuccessful as an over-comer (the circling) - it marks you as quite human, it reminds you of your dependence on God and others. And Laura, your feeling His presence in the violin playing seems to be just that.

I love how you said that God stretched your definition of "home" to include the new place you were. Isn't it such a blessing that His body is universal and when you meet brothers and sisters in Christ, you connect instantly. We just returned from vacation and had the same experience of being "at home" in new churches. Thanks for sharing! Hugs,

Home really is wherever His people are gathered, isn't it?
And simple faith and trust really do trump knowledge and insight, every time. Knowledge is only beneficial to the extent that it teaches us to more quickly yield to His Spirit. - July 16, 2012 at 1:02 PM

I know what you mean about those little foxes. Sometimes the slow grind of everyday irritants can hang us up more than real trouble. Music is truly a supernatural gift that is able to transport us out of those stuck places, and I love the way you put it, "how music stretched my definition of home." Beautiful post from a beautiful sister!!

You who have such a beautiful spirit -- it never ceases to amaze me how fearful you get of your own inadequacies, when you have so many talents you use well, and when you project such thoughtfulness and caring.
Part of your feelings (and mine) are Satan's little darts to make us want to give up. And part comes from our background or temperament or faulty body chemistry or past hurts. But I believe God allows this to keep us humble, to keep us turning to him instead of thinking we're trusting him when we're really acting in our own supposed competence.
So glad you were given the gift of being uplifted! Blessings today, Laura. - July 16, 2012 at 2:31 PM

Beautiful, Laura! If we take the first step toward Him, He is there, running to meet us with open arms, giving us exactly what we need when we need it, speaking through violin arias or kind faces.

Those "little foxes" really are something! I think they're wreaking havoc all over the place. I'll pray for you, Laura, that God lifts your spirit and empowers you always for the tasks He places in your path. :)

Oh, sweet friend - this just whispers so to my soul! Beauty is a primary means of Spirit-nudging for me. And when the times of desolation come - and of course, they come regularly, don't they? - well, there is always some small spot of beautiful that brings the breeze of consolation wafting through the fog. So glad for your moment, so grateful for you.

"This feeling of empty is when faith becomes an anchor" and "how music stretched my definition of home" - yes! May the Lord keep you open, waiting, and ready when He decides to show Himself strong in your life.

Oh, I can identify...I think people respond to the real us, to the honesty of saying that things are broken and falling apart... and it takes Jesus to put it back together, even though we don't know when it will happen.

"This feeling of empty is when faith becomes and anchor." Yes. Sometimes empty comes as we're stripped of everything we think is important...and He is left, shining brightly. All. Enough.
