How old.....*****UPDATE******
I wouldn't be upset with the SM for disciplining her (esp if she's the one with her all the time) I'd be annoyed at the soap thing, but yeah, the punishment all depends on the kid. Putting my 12-almost 13yr old-in a corner works because she HATES it! She hates having to sit still and not do anything/be restricted from activity, but it wouldn't work for my middle 2, they'd just sit there like "ok, whatever" lol.
With that said, washing a mouth out with soap can cause major issues and should be dealt with. Is there any way you can get dh and sm to agree to go to parenting classes? It sounds like she has no idea what to do with a 13 yr old. I don't agree that sp shouldn't discipline. The school disciplines, any after school activities have the right to discipline etc. BUT those same rules should be followed. No physical punishment. Sitting out, doing chores, even removing the fun stuff like TV, game systems, and cell phones.
Other than that, if they are unwilling to take classes, you might need to involve a lawyer so that this can be court ordered. I'm assuming there is a reason he has custody, whether that's so you can get on your feet or whatever. If that can't change, maybe at least it can be ordered that sm cannot physically discipline the child and that they need classes.
Well I think putting her in time out is better than spanking her or putting soap in her mouth. I think they need to have some consistent rules for dd sake. Either no swearing for everyone or no one. and generally (unless it's something major), you get punished once. From what I understand putting soap in a kids mouth can be dangerous and I can't see myself doing it, but you're dd shouldn't be talking to any adult like that either. How often is she there? If this is every other weekend, maybe get visitation cut back to once a month or less? Not sure, step mom seems like she's there to stay. How is your relationship with dd father, can you discuss this with him or step mom? Why did the custody change recently. if he wasn't around for 10 years than why suddenly the interest?
Quoting Christinaaz0919:
I 100% agree and I told him that, his response is because he's usually working and don't get home til 5-6pm, sometimes 7pm. I told him then when he gets home go sit down with dd and find out what happened; get both sides of the story. But he won't, he automatically believes sm. SM gets in the middle of everything. Ex and I get along fine and can compromise about visitation until she gets in his ear and wants things done her way. For example, I'm supposed to get dd from the 4th of July til the weekend before school starts in Aug. Ex and dd asked me if I wanted to take her from end of school til 4th of July, basically just trade. I said sure of course (especially just to get dd away from there). Now SM tells dd that if I take her when school ends, I have to bring her back June 30 because that's the halfway mark so that's only fair. And tells my dd to pass along the message to me. So now I have to call ex tomorrow to find out what is exactly going on and why in the hell is sm talking about any of this to dd since it specifically states in the custody papers we are not to discuss anything with her and she sure as hell isn't supposed to play messenger!
Quoting IamMex11:why is the sm disciplining her at all? this should be up to your ex!
If my 13yo called anyone an a-hole, I would be doing something about it, rather than being worried about the person who is.
You can't change how your DD's family disciplines their own kids. But you can change how your DD acts. And I would be spending the summer doing a major overhaul of that kind of behavior.

PCs shipments were down 4.9%% globally in Q4 to 90.3 million units because of "must-have" tablets and the dicey state of the world's economy Gartner said.
The researcher figures "Tablets have dramatically changed the device landscape for PCs, not so much by 'cannibalizing' PC sales, but by causing PC users to shift consumption to tablets rather than replacing older PCs. This transformation was triggered by the availability of compelling low-cost tablets in 2012, and will continue until the installed base of PCs declines to accommodate tablets as the primary consumption device."
"Whereas as once we imagined a world in which individual users would have both a PC and a tablet as personal devices, we increasingly suspect that most individuals will shift consumption activity to a personal tablet, and perform creative and administrative tasks on a shared PC."
"On the positive side for vendors," it said, "the disenfranchised PCs are those with lighter configurations, which mean that we should see an increase in PC average selling prices (ASPs) as users replace machines used for richer applications, rather than for consumption."
Anyway, HP is back to being number one after losing the prized slot to Lenovo in Q3. Gartner figures HP probably traded profit margin for market share. HP is also stronger than Lenovo in the consumer market, which counts during the holidays.
HP controlled 16.2% of the market last quarter, a pyrrhic victory scored on the back of flat shipments of 14.6 million units while Lenovo, now number two at 15.5%, increased its shipments 8.2% to 13.9 million units.
Dell's market share dropped two points to 10.2% on shipments that plummeted 20.9% to 9.2 million.
US shipments fell 2.1% to 17.5 million units in the quarter and EMEA shipments were down 9.6% to 28.1 million units.
Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system, released at the tail end of October, had no positive impact on PC market in Q4, a fact Gartner blamed on "lackluster form factors" from the PC vendors and a general "lack of excitement" compared to tablets and smartphones.
In 2012 as a whole PC shipments dropped 3.5% year-over-year to 352.7 million units. HP took 16% on shipments down 6.7%; Lenovo took 14.8% on shipments up 14.2%. Dell shipments were down 12.3% for a 10.7% market share, down a point. Asus was up a point or so to 6.9% market share after its shipments surged 17% to 24.2 million units.

Looks like Mama Leone's left a note on the door, saying, "Sonny moved down to Davie." The yang to Mama Leone's yin, Papa Leone's (8922 Pine Ridge Plaza, Davie, 9544758877) takes the pizza recipe from the original New York tourist trap -- of Billy Joel's "Anthony's Song" fame -- and delivers it free to local residents. But the real claim to éclat lies in Papa's specials: Monday is the large "works," which includes pepperoni, sweet Italian sausage, and Canadian bacon, for $12.99; Tuesday is "Papa's fiesta," a large cheese pizza with choice of two toppings, garlic rolls, and a two-liter bottle of soda, for $11.99; and Thursday is a large garden pizza for $12.49. Movin' out never tasted so good.

About MeMy name is jasmin Robinson and im just a dreamer. I have always been the type of person that want to be a icon to other younger women. Let me back up a little, im 20 years old and I'm from California but I live in new Orleans now. I was born in Naples, Italy and I lived in Spain for years. I love to spend time with my friends and family but I have habit of working very hard. I feel like were on this earth for a certain amount of time and we should get everything that we ever wanted done. I don't want to be a product of where I live. I want to be so much more and I want other girls and women to know they can have the same. I have been making many goals for myself and the most important one is to stay positive no matter what im going through. I want to be in magazines, travel the world more, meeting new people, be on television and the whole nine yard. But at the end of the day I want to be in a position where others can touch me and I can reach out to them.CreditsBrianna RobinsonWinnie Robinson Corey Ellow Friends |

4 Years Of We Fear Silence With Boddika: Boddika + BNJMN + Braiden + Spokes + Dexter + Roman Lindau + Shooting Horses + DLVRY
"Our mission was simple; to banish any notion of quiet from the capital by facing only forward in everything we did from the outset. We Fear Silence was conceived in 2009 to bring together only the most innovative and experimental London promoters, all under one banner. Having always placed our emphasis on provoking thought, rather than adhering to trends and our cross-genre approach, we've always focused on quality and character rather than having one single musical direction. So, of course, after 4 years, we weren't going to let go off without a bang. Step up, Boddika."

Shifting the Paradigm: IBOC Is Not Your Father's Radio
by Guy Wire
on 03.31.2003
It's amazing what some think HD-R will deliver over analog in the way of advantages and better performance - equally amazing that others believe the same digitally inspired innovations will instead be disadvantages and degrade radio listening everywhere. Even topics of new technology become political footballs passionately tossed around with spin and misinformation.
An engineer recently suggested on a popular list-server that after the hybrid conversion phase, we'd be able to turn off the analog modulation and replace it with all digital at the same analog power level.
Coverage would improve, he argued, and performance would be bulletproof. Early in this game, it's easy to overlook the details and misunderstand the reality of HD-R.
Truth and Consequences
Let's get this straight. The digital carriers on both AM and FM HD-R have to be approximately 20 to 23 dB below the level of the existing analog carrier. It's got to stay that way to preserve the existing coverage areas of all existing stations, otherwise massive interference would result.
It's hard to accept, but digital modulation is really that much more efficient. Two hundred watts of digital covers like 25,000 watts of analog. Station power listings will likely disappear from logos, letterhead and advertising one-sheeters in the coming era of HD-R; after all, "200,000 milliwatts" just doesn't hack it.
During the hybrid phase, existing receivers need to be able to reproduce un-degraded analog audio with the presence of digital noise in the passband. Suppressing the digital carrier 20 dB helps that considerably. When the last analog carrier is turned off years from now, the FCC may revisit this limitation in light of changing service contours vs. interference.
We can't dispute the fact that weaker adjacent channel signals on AM will be harder to hear for many when HD-R gets rolling. Radio engineers and DXers love to listen to weak signals, well beyond protected contours.
The average consumer almost never does and could care less. Don't expect the FCC to have much sympathy or relief for interference complaints coming from the fringes. As with most existing interference issues in our analog world, buying a filter, a better receiver or antenna will remain the standard remedies.
Smoke and Mirrors
Interference is a hot topic as HD-R rolls out. The issue often is clouded by smoke and mirrors. Too many analog receivers using sloppy IF and decoder designs can give the impression an HD station is splattering digital noise beyond its legal channel limits.
Don't be fooled by one receiver. The NRSC-specified occupied bandwidth RF mask for HD-R can easily be met by the new transmission gear out there. Marginally performing receivers are nothing new in radio. We can only hope that the Consumer Electronics Association will urge all radio manufacturers to build HD Radio-friendly designs from now on.
HD-R must employ audio bit-rate reduction to work in existing bandwidth-limited allocations. The debate over bit-rate reduced or compressed audio quality will never go away. Purists just won't let that happen.
Too many of us remember when audio codecs were first used to conserve bandwidth and recording space. SEDAT gave the process a bad name. But codec technology has advanced light-years and continues to improve almost continuously.
Dueling algorithms are a real issue, to be sure; yet in a world where consumers define high-quality audio as a downloaded MP3, we are forced to face a bar that has been lowered on a different set of goal posts.
Audio quality has been subjected to an escalating and more insidious form of degradation right out of the recording studios. Almost all CDs now come "pre-processed," complicating the mission of well-meaning audio processing aficionados eager to deliver that knockout sound for their PDs.
Gain leveling, limiting, equalization tweaks and even clipping have already been burned into the source material. Digital sampling and compression schemes just don't like clipped waveforms. Running your air product through another round of dynamic molestation before it hits the PAC codec creates yet another new challenge for HD-R - and a new realization.
Audio Unprocessing
Almost every engineer who has test-driven IBOC and HD-R on their stations has told us that the task of processing the digital audio quickly becomes the need to unprocess. Otherwise the audio coming out the other end easily turns into a pile of dog doo-doo.
The more you adjust an Optimod 6200 or Omnia-HD to make it louder, the more you keep coming back to the old "less is more" imperative. Sure, you need to provide some automatic level control for noisy environments like moving automobiles. But beyond that, plenty of headroom and a little protection limiting are about all you really need.
Without the nemesis of pre-emphasis, processing HD-R for both AM and FM becomes a completely different challenge. The emperor's clothes are little more than a see-though cape in this age-old battle.
The more important processing controls you will want to optimize are the ones that clean up or conceal codec artifacts. HD-R on AM uses a compressed datarate of 36 kbps. That delivers a scant 3 percent of the original audio information in stereo; 97 percent is cleverly ignored.
FM HD-R uses 96 kbps. Just a few years back, anything below 192 kbps was considered "marginal" for broadcast quality. Without question, MPEG and PAC have gotten better with every passing month, but innovative new digital processing tricks and products will mask many of the sins of compression and help make the air sound even better. Those who attend the NAB show and seek this out will be rewarded.
Cleaning Up
Even before your audio hits the processor, engineers and programmers preparing for HD-R conversion will help themselves the most by eliminating compression stages and reducing chances for dueling algorithms. Convert your stored music library and STL to all linear.
Fast workstations and big hard drives are now affordable. Insist on maintaining quality standards and closely monitor all imported audio sources, especially MP3s that arrive as e-mail attachments. Many that sneak by on analog will be hideous tune-outs on HD-R. As we're finding out all too often, all MP3s are not created equal.
A special plea to program directors: Don't embarrass yourself or your station by pounding HD-R with the same heavy processing you've become addicted to on analog. HD-R is your golden opportunity to make a clean break from the bad habits of the past.
Even the most unsophisticated listeners will be expecting digital radio to sound better. That means cleaner... like their CDs and (gulp) their MP3s. Insisting on the tired, old, highly processed "radio sound" on HD-R will not impress your present listeners or win over any new ones. If you're having trouble with this, listen to XM or Sirius for some clues.
If you are lucky enough to attend NAB, look closely at all the new HD-R related products being shown.
This is truly the showcase year for HD-R. New antenna combining solutions to be shown will mean many master or panel antenna users will be able to reduce their transmitter and operating costs substantially.
Hang onto that backup or auxiliary antenna near your main. It might come in handy for HD-R. Ibiquity now says that closely maintaining the same analog and HD-R coverage patterns to support the 20-23 dB differential is turning out to be not as important as originally assumed.
As more field data comes in, the reality of existing pattern distortions caused by mounting structures and performance variations delivered by different radiator types already makes FM coverage a sloppy game of horseshoes or hand grenades. HD-R is proving to hold up well in pattern nulls and is impressively tolerant and robust. The FCC should be watching this closely and do all it can to establish technical specifications that enable a responsible yet easier and more rapid conversion to HD-R.
Easier done than said
For covering yourself legally in the rollout period, STA requests are no longer needed. Simply send the FCC a letter within 10 days of turning it on, listing the basic transmitting specs and a contact name and number staff can call to follow-up on interference complaints (RW April 7, page 2). Curiously, antenna information is not required, at least not for this exercise.
Sounds like the commish is taking the path of least resistance here and will let listeners decide if they need help with interference, a new twist on "let the marketplace decide." There's no evaluation of specific station interference situations we thought might be undertaken before HD-R authority is granted, even for the more problematic AM band.
Leonard Kahn must be having a heart attack. It's a wide-open digital highway ahead for HD-R folks. Let's get busy.

My latest pattern. I had great fun creating all the different cat-like creatures for this piece. You will notice that the cats start repeating before the colours do. This is because I first made a simple B&W outline version which I then tiled before colouring. This repeating colour version is made up of a 5×4 grid of the B&W version. I am currently finishing off a similar pattern made up of bear-like creatures and have many more ideas to visualize before this series if finished. I will probably upload my B&W version at some point as well as some other coloured ones. Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Update: You can now see the B&W version here
adorable, individual, repeat, tile, lots, seamless, duff, jordan_duff, frivolous, cat, wrapping_paper, wallpaper, catachresis, fun, vector, children, outline, sketch, pattern, bright, cute, colour, character, kids, soft, color, things, illustrator, jordan, pastel, cats, childrens, silly, loose, characters
This is a tiling pattern? That is so cool! I'm looking forward to bears :)
:) I really like these. They are wonderful, and make me smile.
Love this, would make great fabric. :)
Cool work, wasn't this just on the home pg too!?

- The Department of Justice reportedly wants US Airways (LCC) and AMR (AAMRQ) to sell assets at key airports across the U.S. in order for it to approve the carriers' merger.
- In a complaint in August, the DOJ listed over 1,000 city pairings where the airlines dominate and where their tie-up could hurt competition.
- Reports last week had focused on an offer from the airlines to divest rights at Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport, where they hold a combined 69% of takeoff and landing slots. However, the companies have also offered to sell rights at airports other than Reagan.
- If the sides can't agree to a deal, they are due to go trial on November 25.

Save money for the taxpayer, this administration couldn't save a penny for anything even if you super glued it to Obama's forehead. This is ALL about corrupt government politics. The fly on the wall must have heard " I want some too, and what are you going to give me for the good people of my state" a hundred times. This what happens when you mix marxist idiots with people trying to grow a business.
1000 city pairs??? Didn't know the government is now the experts on running the airline business. Can't get a simple healthcare website going but yet completely up to speed on every city pairing in the country. Gee, how many city pairs did the government analyze for the UAL and CO merger? To make life "fair", why doesn't the government analyze every business from cereal makers, to auto makers, to clock makers, to pharmaceutical makers and see if they can't find someone who has perhaps a bit of an advantage!!! Our government is out of control!!!

We can learn from this brilliant testimony as we undertake the struggle to defend the Church against this unjust Edict. We call upon all of our readers around the globe to pray for his Excellency - and for all of our Bishops. We pledge to stand in unwavering solidarity with them.

WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - On Wednesday February 16, 2012, the Most Reverend William E. Lori, the Bishop of Bridgeport and Chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee for Religious Liberty, gave testimony before Congress. He appeared before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the United States House of Representatives.
Bishop Lori spoke on behalf of all of the Catholic Bishops of the United States. They are unanimous in their effort to have the HHS Edict which seeks to compel Catholic institutions and organizations to distribute contraceptives and abortion inducing drugs as well as offer sterilization rescinded. Now is not the time for Catholics to be critical of the US Catholic Bishops. Now is the time for all of us to stand with them.
The Bishop's testimony was brilliant. We want all of our readers to learn from it as we all undertake the struggle to defend the Church against this unjust Edict and a New Catholic Action. We call upon all of our readers around the globe to pray for his Excellency - and for all of our Bishops. We pledge to stand in unwavering solidarity with them. Here is Bishop Lori's complete testimony:
Bishop William Lori
Thank you, Mr. Chairman and distinguished members of the Committee, for the opportunity to testify today. For my testimony today, I would like to tell a story. Let's call it "The Parable of the Kosher Deli."
Once upon a time, a new law is proposed, so that any business that serves food must serve pork. There is a narrow exception for kosher catering halls attached to synagogues, since they serve mostly members of that synagogue, but kosher delicatessens are still subject to the mandate.
The Orthodox Jewish community-whose members run kosher delis and many other restaurants and grocers besides-expresses its outrage at the new government mandate. And they are joined by others who have no problem eating pork-not just the many Jews who eat pork, but people of all faiths-because these others recognize the threat to the principle of religious liberty.
They recognize as well the practical impact of the damage to that principle. They know that, if the mandate stands, they might be the next ones forced-under threat of severe government sanction -to violate their most deeply held beliefs, especially their unpopular beliefs.
Meanwhile, those who support the mandate respond "But pork is good for you. It is, after all, the other white meat." Other supporters add "So many Jews eat pork, and those who don't should just get with the times." Still others say "Those Orthodox are just trying to impose their beliefs on everyone else."
But in our hypothetical, those arguments fail in the public debate, because people widely recognize the following.
First, although people may reasonably debate whether pork is good for you, that's not the question posed by the nationwide pork mandate. Instead, the mandate generates the question whether people who believe-even if they believe in error-that pork is not good for you, should be forced by government to serve pork within their very own institutions. In a nation committed to religious liberty and diversity, the answer, of course, is no.
Second, the fact that some (or even most) Jews eat pork is simply irrelevant. The fact remains that some Jews do not-and they do not out of their most deeply held religious convictions. Does the fact that large majorities in society-even large majorities within the protesting religious community-reject a particular religious belief make it permissible for the government to weigh in on one side of that dispute? Does it allow government to punish that minority belief with its coercive power? In a nation committed to religious liberty and diversity, the answer, of course, is no.
Third, the charge that the Orthodox Jews are imposing their beliefs on others has it exactly backwards. Again, the question generated by a government mandate is whether the government will impose its belief that eating pork is good on objecting Orthodox Jews. Meanwhile, there is no imposition at all on the freedom of those who want to eat pork.
That is, they are subject to no government interference at all in their choice to eat pork, and pork is ubiquitous and cheap, available at the overwhelming majority of restaurants and grocers. Indeed,
some pork producers and retailers, and even the government itself, are so eager to promote the eating of pork, that they sometimes give pork away for free.
In this context, the question is this: can a customer come to a kosher deli, demand to be served a ham sandwich, and if refused, bring down severe government sanction on the deli. In a nation committed to religious liberty and diversity, the answer, of course, is no.
So in our hypothetical story, because the hypothetical nation is indeed committed to religious liberty and diversity, these arguments carry the day. In response, those proposing the new law claim to hear and understand the concerns of kosher deli owners, and offer them a new "accommodation."
You are free to call yourself a kosher deli; you are free not to place ham sandwiches on your menu; you are free not to be the person to prepare the sandwich and hand it over the counter to the customer. But we will force your meat supplier to set up a kiosk on your premises, and to offer, prepare, and serve ham sandwiches to all of your customers, free of charge to them. And when you get your monthly bill from your meat supplier, it will include the cost of any of the "free" ham sandwiches that your customers may accept. And you will, of course, be required to pay that bill.
Some who supported the deli owners initially began to celebrate the fact that ham sandwiches didn't need to be on the menu, and didn't need to be prepared or served by the deli itself. But on closer examination, they noticed three troubling things. First, all kosher delis will still be forced to pay for the ham sandwiches.
Second, many of the kosher delis' meat suppliers, themselves, are forbidden in conscience from offering, preparing, or serving pork to anyone. Third, there are many kosher delis that are their own meat supplier, so the mandate to offer, prepare, and serve the ham sandwich still falls on them.
This story has a happy ending. The government recognized that it is absurd for someone to come into a kosher deli and demand a ham sandwich; that it is beyond absurd for that private demand to be backed with the coercive power of the state; that it is downright surreal to apply this coercive power when the customer can get the same sandwich cheaply, or even free, just a few doors down.
The question before the United States government-right now-is whether the story of our own Church institutions that serve the public, and that are threatened by the HHS mandate, will end happily too. Will our nation continue to be one committed to religious liberty and diversity? We urge, in the strongest possible terms, that the answer must be yes. We urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to answer the same way.
Thank you for your attention.

'Me Too'
- Label: 'Lojinx'
- Genre: 'Pop' - Release Date: 'November 2004'- Catalogue No: 'LJX005CD'
Our Rating:
York's global exports FARRAH have bottled something about being sensitively 14 that will never fade.
These are familiar, crazily familiar, riffs, tunes, drum fills, chord shifts and dynamic quirks that you've heard and loved a million times. From THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL, through EELS to SQUEEZE, FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE via BLINK 182, WEEZER and WHEATUS, it's Power Pop, innit? And lovely too.
But don't analyse. Don't listen carefully. Don't write a treatise. It's schlopp really. Where FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE get close to CAMPER Van BEETHOVEN for perfection in banality lyrics, FARRAH stick carefully to banal. Where BLINK 182 have the sheer power to drive a room of kids to a frenzy, Farrah tend to tour a lot in Spain, France and Japan. Not understanding is a prerequisite.
This is their second album – so they've got the hang of it. Damped chords, a squealing outbreak of guitar riffs, a roller coaster melody like Sonic The Hedgehog sped up. Harmony singing. Down the line four four drumming and light additions of production gizmos like hand claps and retro synth noises parked discretely in the lower regions. It's light, breezy and cheerful.
"Daytime TV" is as much a stand out track as any other, with Haemorrhoids, Judy and that pudgy bloke on the sofa. FARRAH don't go far poetically speaking. "First and Last" is a very sweet tune with clean acoustic guitar and minimum fuss. Lovely hand claps. "I drank until I couldn't drink a – gain / I missed you like a fix and like a friend" … well, yes.
All of the songs sound like something you've heard before, which I guess is part of the point. Maybe a bit of BEN KWELLER here and bit of DAMIEN GOUGH there. But when Jez Ashurst puts down the pen to sing a non-drum cover of JOE JACKSON'S "It's Different for Girls" the outside world intrudes a little. This killer song is as strong a statement of what songs of the mundane can aspire to as you will find. But Jackson's angry hurt passion becomes light regretful whimsy and if you're not careful you start thinking about other great English writers. ELVIS COSTELLO maybe. Stop it. This is FARRAH and we're having lots of fun.
After "Girls" we're back with Kwellerish "Half As Strong" and the bouncy cheeriness of chart could-be "Wake Up" that seems to use a Theremin. Hooray for that, and three cheers for a hugely infectious chorus. There's a noisy "secret track" too, coming late on the tail of "The Last Word" which offers the excrutiating wonderfulness of "you put the dick in dictionary". Just so you know, eh?

I mean, they got the domain and kingdom right. Can we really expect reporters to be able to tell an echinoderm from an arthropod? /sarcasm
I remember seeing this or similar footage about a year ago. Numerous debates raged on YouTube over what the creatures were as the reporters and various stories referred to them as sea spiders. I remember some folks insisting I was wrong. I tried to infer what the taxa is at one point, but can't remember how far I got. A common comatulid crinoid in that region is Promachocrinus kerguelensis, but I'd need to see one of these up closer to tell for sure.

Paperback: 102 pages Publisher: Petite Grande Idée (April 4, 2011) ISBN-13: 978-0615459349 With Christmas on it's way, My Monster Burrufu by Alberto Corral would make for an excellent stocking stuffer or gift for your child! This is an enchanting story about an outgoing, unique and friendly little girl who tries with all of her might to befriend a very reclusive monster, who just wants to be left alone in his lonely attic to write his stories and eat stolen chocolate chip cookies. The book is filled with beautifully drawn black and white illustrations. This story has a very important central moral: don't judge someone by how they look; it's what's inside that counts. It's a kind of "don't judge a monster by his fur" type of moral, which is applicable to children and adults alike. |

When writing a Web application from scratch, it's easy to feel like you can get by simply by relying on a DOM manipulation library (like jQuery) and a handful of utility plugins. The problem with this is that it doesn't take long to get lost in a nested pile of jQuery callbacks and DOM elements without any real structure in place for your applications.
David Luecke offers a MIT licensed collection of extremely useful DOM helpers and special events for jQuery 1.7 and later. This is not a UI project like jQuery UI or jQuery Tools. Instead, it is all about providing low-level utilities for things that jQuery doesn't support. If Underscore is jQuery's functional-programming tie, this is jQuery's bald-spot covering toupee.
What is a unit anyway? In the best case, it is a pure function that you can deal with in some way — a function that always gives you the same result for a given input. This makes unit testing pretty easy, but most of the time you need to deal with side effects, which here means DOM manipulations. It's still useful to figure out which units you can structure your code into and to build unit tests accordingly.
The parallax scrolling effect has been popular ever since sites such as Nike's Better World introduced it on their websites a few years ago. The parallax effect with regard to interfaces has been around since the 1980's when it was first used in video game titles and subsequently in games themselves. More recently it started to make an appearance in web interfaces.
Every aspiring Web developer should know about the power of JavaScript and how it can be used to enhance the ways in which people see and interact with Web pages. Fortunately, to help you be more productive, Sam Deering can use the power of JavaScript libraries, and in this article he will take a good look at jQuery in action.
If you haven't heard, there's a new kid in town: CanJS. What better way to dive into what this new framework offers than to build a contacts manager application? When you're done with this three-part series, you'll have all the tools you need to build your own JavaScript applications! Building a JavaScript application without the right tools is difficult. While jQuery is great at what it does, a DOM manipulation library doesn't provide any infrastructure for building applications. This is specifically why you need to use a library, like CanJS.
JavaScript's prototype object generates confusion wherever it goes. Seasoned JavaScript professionals, even authors frequently exhibit a limited understanding of the concept. Angus Croll believes a lot of the trouble stems from our earliest encounters with prototypes, which almost always relate to new, constructor and the very misleading prototype property attached to functions. In fact prototype is a remarkably simple concept.
It's rare nowadays to find a web designer who can't code his own designs. With so many resources online and in print that teach the basics of HTML and CSS, and due to the fact that these languages aren't rocket science, there are now a lot of graphic designers who have at least basic knowledge of markup and styling. But with an HTML and CSS foundation comes great responsibility. If an HTML or CSS feature doesn't work in certain browsers, we need to ensure that we offer those browsers a secondary or fallback experience.
This article is concerned with one technique for managing one aspect of type, one that's been hard to do online but is routine in print: maintaining a consistent vertical rhythm, which in turn allows us to achieve a professional layout.
Web developers create some awesome jQuery & CSS3 tutorials. Today we want to list some of the best from 2012. Enjoy this fantastic collection of useful jQuery and CSS3 tutorials!

FLYLEAF will join forces with DROWNING POOL for a U.S. tour in February/March. Exact cities and dates will be announced tomorrow.
FLYLEAF's new lineup made its live debut on November 1 at the Grand Stafford Theater in Bryan, Texas in front of a sold-out capacity crowd of 400. The show featured the debut of new singer Kristen May, who replaced original vocalist Lacey Sturm after the latter abruptly departed the group in October. Sturm left the band on the eve of the release of its third album, "New Horizons", which came out on October 30 and sold 20,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 16 on The Billboard 200 chart. Sturm issued a statement about her exit from the group she co-founded, saying, "I am very thankful to have recently become a mom to one of the greatest blessings of my life, my son Jack . . . I understand that, for me, living life to the fullest in this season means to step down as the lead singer for FLYLEAF." The new album follows up 2009's "Memento Mori" and FLYLEAF's self-titled 2005 debut, which have combined to sell more than 1.6 million copies in the U.S. DROWNING POOL's fifth album is due out in early 2013 via Eleven Seven Music. The band teamed up with producer Kato Khandwalla at House of Loud Studios in New Jersey, as well as John Feldmann (THE USED, STORY OF THE YEAR), and completed the CD in Dallas. Singer Jasen Moreno, who previously fronted fellow Texas band THE SUICIDE HOOK, is DROWNING POOL's fourth and newest frontman. Jasen replaces vocalist Ryan McCombs, who exited the group at the end of 2011 after a six-year stint in the lineup. Moreno made his live debut as a member of DROWNING POOL on July 8 at a club in Ardmore, Oklahoma. DROWNING POOL's video for the song "Saturday Night" was directed by Jon Bertorelli and produced by Daniel Livschultz, both of Vulpine Films.

Nitegirl54 |
Quote Sky and Meg: every one hopes casey is alive .. i think he is alive. i hope .. cause who does'-nt love casey- I didn't like Casey before, how he treated Gwen whenever she was around, he was so cold toward her, and when he found out she was pregnant. He lied about sleeping with her and fathering her baby, he was a jerk to Gwen, and I didn't like that when he was like that, but he has changed and has grown up and matured, and he shows his soft side now, and he is loving and sweet to Maddie, and also now he and Gwen worked through their past relationship, and all, and now he is Gwen's friend, I like that. So he's now a good guy, and I want him to live too. So he and Maddie can finally be with one another.... |

For those who want the highlighting text feature but not sure how to make it work in TB 3.0.1 or newer version. I struggled and got it to work.
First you need to install an add-on called Mr. Tech. Then follow Warsev's instructions to install. Make sure to check the box allowing Mr. Tech to override maxVersion compatibility. Restart TB. Good luck
Thank you for sharing but does not work in TB 3.0.1.
Try searching for Highlight Text 1.0 and tweak a little to work with newer TB version.

What Does it Mean to be a Student With Unusual Enrollment History?
Students who receive federal student aid promise to use that financial aid only to meet educational costs (such as tuition, fees, books, and living expenses while enrolled). If you receive a Federal Pell Grant award, you may not use the funds for any other purpose. When you submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you sign a Statement of Education Purpose indicating your understanding that the financial aid is for educational costs only.
The U.S. Department of Education works to identify potential fraud and abuse of the Federal Pell Grant Program. Students are not permitted to enroll in college just long enough to receive credit balance payments before leaving school. In order to identify instances where students enrolled only to receive credit balance payments, the Department of Education flags the records of students who have "unusual enrollment histories".
Examples of an enrollment history that would prompt further investigation include:
- when the student received Pell Grant funds at three institutions over two award years, and
- when the student received Pell Grant funds at three or more institutions in one award year.
If a student record indicates an unusual enrollment pattern, the current school must determine whether the student enrolled in multiple programs solely to obtain the credit balance payment. The student will be asked for an explanation and documentation that demonstrates that he or she did not enroll only to receive a credit balance payment. If the student did not earn academic credit at one or more of the prior schools, the school will need to review records and collect additional information about the previous enrollments. The school then makes a determination about whether to approve or deny eligibility for federal student aid.
If a student is denied eligibility for federal student aid due to an unusual enrollment history, the school will provide a process to appeal the school's decision and give information regarding how to regain eligibility.

Specializing in training for high-debt borrowers and the people who love them, Heather has provided guidance and information to thousands of students and recent graduates. She has contributed to student debt relief policy for the House Education Committee and others in Congress, and spent more than six years advocating for public service loan forgiveness, which allows more recent graduates to dedicate their careers to the greater good.
