I am a WAHM to DD (4.5) and DS (1.75) and we are unschooling and very happy with our decision.
The thing is, we have no help or family around and I was thinking about hiring a nanny/babysitter for 4-5 hours every week.
I am feeling guilty as anything, but it would help me get some work done uninterrupted (we have our own business and it's expanding so we hav eto work more at night at the minute) and a bit of time for me to do personal jobs like the odd haircut/ dentist for me.
So what do you think?
Slack or ok?
I'm not a big fan of labels...if something works for you, it shouldn't matter what it's called. :) That, and you have two very young children...I would think that when your child's not even kindergarten age, the situation you described isn't slacking...it's parenting. I don't see how having a babysitter impacts the type of schooling you're doing, especially since you only have an infant and a preschooler. If you have a babysitter 5 hours a week, you still have another 163 hours every week with her to teach her how you'd like to, regardless of labels. :)
(And many homeschoolers, unschoolers, public schoolers, and private schoolers use babysitters for a few hours a week...you can still educate your child how you see fit and have a little outside help).
thanks for replying.
I agree, we are trying not to label ourselves as that's where the limitations come in. But I suppose I have been feeling rather guilty that I am putting myself first, perhaps... I don't know...LOL
I'm all for labels, but I don't see anything un-unschooly about that.
You're not putting yourself first. Any homeschooler....any parent of toddlers...any PARENT needs some time off. I hardly think 5 hours of nanny care a week so you can earn money to put food on the table is 'putting yourself first'. IMO, you're not feeling guilty about the 'lack of unschooling" (because honestly, you didn't mention anything about unschooling beyond the title...for all we know, you are doing 50 hours a week of unschooling with 5 hours of nanny care on top.) It seems to me that you're feeling guilty about actually getting help. And about letting someone else care for your kids for 5 hours a week. I gotta say, 5 hours a week is so minimal. It's the equivalent of going to the gym a few times a week and using the in gym daycare...would that be guilt inducing selfish? Would it negate any schooling choice you made? Of course not!
Hi thanks again for replying.
I think I am at that naive, early beginner stage of life/unschooling/learning and because we have chosen this path I feel responsible for my children at all times.
I believe that unschooling will challenge me and help us all grow in the most amazing ways and it has already started by making go beyond my comfort zone and understand that my children can learn from everyone. Having a nanny will be another level for them, another perspective on their worlds, someone else to shape their ideals and knowledge base.
Perhaps I have been too rigid, LOL, and I know that will soon change. So by posting my own little personal situation here I appreciate the chance to grow and try and understand the value in what we have chosen.
This forum is great.

ITA with AllyRae. I had a mother's helper for my kids when they were little. Your children spend so much time with you! 4 - 5 hrs a week is nothing and I bet they'll have a blast! My kids are always happy to be with someone whose "job" is to play with them! :-)

I see unschooling as a spectrum. There are some radical unschooling families I know that make choices that pop my eyes out. I'm sure they think the same of some of my choices. All of us are just doing the best we can.
Oh my gosh, 5 hours of child-free time a week...I could fold laundry more than once every couple weeks. I could go to 3 grocery stores in 90 minutes and not have to buckle/unbuckle carseats. I could pick up the Oasis laundry soap (it breaks down into plant food) that I special ordered and not have it take 45 minutes. I could get out the front door without having to sit my 2 year old in front of youtube (she likes Glee songs) so I can brush her hair without holding her down and I could get out the door without having to chase previously mentioned 2 year old around house to grab her so I can get her underwear on her. I could...I better stop, all this fantasizing is making me jealous.
Created an instant family (7/89 and 5/91) in 1997. Made a baby boy 12/05 adopted a baby girl 8/08. Ask me about tandem adoptive nursing and living as gluten, dairy, and cane sugar free vegetarians. Homeschooling and loving it.
As an unschooling mom, I would have a sitter 5 hours a day if I could! :)

Welcome to White Rabbit Japan!
A clear folder to keep your notes and worksheets in! This is a brilliant re-imagining of Tokyo's intricate railway system by Korean designer Zero per Zero who won the communication design award for this series of railway maps for various cities all around the world .
According to Zero Per Zero, the subway and railway line map is the symbol of city. In their series of railway system maps, the Seoul-based design firm manages to cover all of the basics (stations, important landmarks, etc.), but also focuses on the major characters of the cities, e.g. famous sights, buildings and landmarks. In addition, they manage to incorporate the Japanese flag in their display of Tokyo. In other words, while these maps might serve a practical purpose, they'd also look good hanging on your apartment's walls.

those who used trigger shots
I used a trigger but my RE also had me on progesterone. I got my AF this morning after being off the progesterone for a few days. It could be that the trigger messed with your typical luteal phase. Definitely ask your RE and share what he/she says!
First round of clomid and trigger I did get pregnant but it was ectopic. Last cycle I did clomid and got the shot cd 12, was told to continue with my progesterone and test 16 days after shot. My last day of progesterone was 14 days after shot, tested - the next day and started full flow 2 days later. I am now cd2 and will be doing another 100 mg clomid days 3-7 and will trigger on cd 12 again. If I didn't do the progesterone I probably would have started af too early.
Sorry wish i could help
Quoting nicole2884:
I only did the trigger once an got my bfp at 11 dpo an i triggered late on cd20
Sorry wish i could help
Im glad you got a bfp and cant report how soon you got af :)
Did you take a hpt yet?

Put a down payment on this gun for my girlfriend she loves it and I must say its very futuristic looking semi auto.
Px4 storms are great gun. I have the std size model with inox finish. Good gun, well balaced and a sweet shooter....
Love mine too, the magazine in PX4 won't feed steel case ammo. It has trouble "organizing" it and jams up inside of the clip. I read it in a forum somewhere, didn't believe it, bought some, now i believe it. Never a FTF or FTE with brass.
Trouble organizing? Does the magazine gets confused? Lol Well I hear it eats up any ammo you fed it. Will see FTF's do happen but the majority of the time it's do to user error and or an unmaintained firearm. Thanks for the heads up though.
I thought I knew better than previous posters about this issue too, I was wrong. Definitely not user error and mine is impeccably maintained. Good Luck.
Picking this pistol up on Friday she is going to be very happy
i don't make a regular practice of it but my full sized shot several mags of tula just fine.

First cleaning can't wait to take her to the range
CONGRATS on your/her New PX4-SC! When I first bought mine, I also purchased the Snap-Grip Mags, so I could get a better grip on the pistol. It worked just fine, however, Beretta recently came out with a Mag Adapter for the 17-Round Mags, that fit the PX4/CX4 Full Size/Carbine Mags that I have. I had three extra 17-Round Mags, and added the Adapter to them. Now it gives the Grip that Full Size feel, and it's great! The Adapter fills in the gap between the bottom of the Grip, and the bottom of the Mag, so it's now just like a Full Size Grip.
This is the Adapter:
Enjoy your new Beretta!
Thank you my girlfriend shot it and she loves it to I will check out the mags!

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Lid Burger
The Lid Burger is scientifically designed with the end-product in mind. The perfect burger for grilling. Given the propensity of ground beef to shrink as it cooks, one must find the right size of the pre-cooked burger. The Lid Burger is the answer and delivers the perfect burger every time. As well as being the right size and shape, the Lid Burger has more flavor due to its surface area.
Ground beef or higher grade burger
Ground pepper
Garlic powder
Swiss or sharp cheddar cheese
cooking spray
The plastic lid from a regular 2 lb can of coffee (henceforth referred to as "the Lid")
1 egg (optional)
1. Put the burger meat on a plate and add seasonings to taste. I like a little extra garlic on mine. Salt and pepper are a must. If you have any other spices you enjoy, feel free to add those as well. 2. Knead the meat thoroughly. Get right in there and squish the meat. Loose burger meat crumbles on the grill. If it's still crumbly after kneading, add a raw egg to the meat and knead again. 3. Spray the inside of the Lid with cooking spray. Make sure to get all the creases. 4. Pack the burger meat into the Lid. For a rarer burger, use more meat. For a more well-done burger, use less. I generally use enough to make it a "level" Lid, so that the meat is even with the rim of the Lid. 5. Gently peel the burger meat out of the Lid. Place it on a plate with any other Lid Burgers you will carry out to the grill. 6. If you are making many Lid Burgers, you may need to re-apply the PAM after every other burger or so. 7. Take the plate of Lid Burgers to the grill and grill them normally. When they are almost done, turn off the grill and give them a final flip. Add the cheese to the Lid Burgers. Close the cover for the grill. Let them sit for about a minute so the cheese can melt. 8. Remove from grill and build your Lid Burgers with your favorite bun and condiments. Enjoy with people who deserve an amazing burger.
The Lid Burger came as the result of my personal quest to find the scientifically perfect size for pre-cooked burger meat. Traditional burger stampers produce a final product that is closer to a meatball or a hockey puck than a burger. The Lid Burger gives you the perfect final burger size every time, and the Lid (from the coffee can) is something most people would throw away, so it's very economical. But size isn't everything. With more surface area than the "meatball" burger, the Lid Burger has much more of that wonderful backyard grill flavor. Additionally, you have better control over how thoroughly you want to cook them. All around, this is the best burger you will ever taste. I only make these for family members and close friends. The Lid Burger has never disappointed any of them, and has always earned me high praise as the chef.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock futures are looking to extend two consecutive sessions of all-time highs as inflation and New York state manufacturing reports came in weak, adding to expectations that easy monetary policy needs to persist for some time to come.
The global markets have been cheering expectations that Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen, who is tipped to be the next central bank chief, will continue on that path until economic data shows solid signs of improvement. During her confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee Thursday, Yellen emphasized the need for the Fed to continue to support the economy through easing measures.
Futures for the S&P 500 were rising 3.5 points, or 3.73 points above fair value, to 1,791.25, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were increasing 30 points, or 30.78 points above fair value, to 15,869. The Empire State manufacturing index unexpectedly fell to negative 2.21 in November from 1.52 in October. A climb to 5 was expected. Meanwhile, October import prices dropped 0.7% and was unchanged excluding fuel costs. September import prices were revised downward to a rise of 0.1% from a 0.2% gain previously. Nasdaq futures were higher by 5 points, or 4.26 points above fair value, to 3,415.5.
The Fed is expected to report that industrial production increased 0.2%, a slowdown from a rise of 0.6% in September.
LinkedIn (LNKD)LNKD shares were being bid higher after Stifel Nicolaus analysts initiated coverage of the stock with a "buy," endorsing it as the go-to platform for professional networking. Shares were up 2.13% to $226.15. Stifel also began coverage of Yelp (YELP)with a "buy" recommendation, praising it for its strength in going beyond just being an online directory to becoming a key connection point to local businesses. Shares were rising 1.78% to $68.45.

What do you do when a vaccine kills?
In the U.S., we like our drugs. We'll give any excuse, any reason, to keep them on the market. They have to get pretty dangerous before they're pulled from the shelves. Not so in India, as evidenced by recent events. The U.S. could stand to learn a lesson here…
What happens when girls start dying after receiving an injection of a pricey new vaccine, one touted as a miracle that will save countless lives?
If you're in the United States — well, we already know the answer to that. You give it to more girls, of course.
If you're in India, however, it's a different story. Recently, they took a novel approach to protecting young women. Rather than continuing to dose more girls with a potentially deadly substance, get this…
They stopped giving it to them.
After only four deaths, the Indian Council of Medical Research called for immediate suspension of the country's cervical cancer vaccination program. Don't get me wrong — four is still a tragic loss, but I say "only" to highlight the difference here in the U.S., where last summer the number was already hovering around 50 deaths the FDA says are potentially linked to Gardasil. And yet young women are still getting the shot every day.
The difference in attitude is amazing. Last summer, I told you about the CDC's and FDA's reaction to the emerging dangers of Gardasil ("Study reports on Gardasil's shady marketing," 8/27/2009).
By the CDC's count, there were 32 deaths linked to Gardasil at that time. Young women whose lives weren't lost were fainting and ending up with blood clots. And mounting evidence was already showing that the drug wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
Still, they kept giving it, and kept defending it, and continue to do so, even as the facts stack against Gardasil — in fact, the mainstream has been trying to find even MORE applications for this nightmare.
And then you have India. The vaccination program has become controversial after four deaths and complications among 120 girls were reported after the vaccine was given. Stomach disorders, epilepsy, headache are just a few of the side effects these girls had to deal with.
Health authorities in India are saying the vaccine didn't undergo enough testing before its approval. It looks like Garadsil could be outright rejected there.
Imagine that — health officials that actually look out for the health of the public, for the well being of a nation's children. I hope the FDA is paying attention to this story, because there's certainly a major lesson to be learned.

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) will negotiate with EU national governments on the establishment of a system for obtaining unitary patent protection, the Parliament has said.05 Dec 2011
'Rapporteurs' from the Parliament will try to negotiate agreement over a "package" of measures related to a unitary patent system, including regulations specifying the technical details of the patent system itself, the language regime to be used in unitary patent applications and approvals and the establishment of procedures for the operation of a unified patent court, the Parliament said. The "mandate" for the negotiations was approved in a vote by the Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee.
Governments will be asked today at a Competitiveness Council meeting to reach agreement on the plans, which involve 25 of the EU's 27 member states co-operating on a single patent scheme.
"The European Parliament's rapporteurs, who will negotiate with national governments, will treat the three proposals (unitary patent, language regime and unified patent court) as a package, meaning none will be agreed without the others," the Parliament said in a statement.
"According to the mandate, approved by the committee with 16 votes in favour and 3 against, the MEP negotiators will also ask that the three laws enter into force at the same time," it said.
Plans to establish a cheaper and more efficient way for inventors to gain patent protection across Europe have been mooted for years. Europe-wide protection is only possible at the moment by validating a patent registered with the European Patent Office (EPO) in each individual country. To be valid in a country a patent must be translated into its language. The European Commission has sought a cheaper system because of what it has said is the prohibitive cost of that process.
"The aim of creating an EU patent is twofold. First to reduce current patenting costs by up to 80%, so as to improve the competitive position of EU firms vis-à-vis their counterparts in the US and Japan, where patents are substantially cheaper. Second, it should help to avoid the legal confusion created when dealing with differing national patent laws," the Parliament said.
Last year 12 EU member states got together to push for an EU-wide patent system. Under the Lisbon Treaty nine or more EU countries can use the EU's processes and structures to make agreements that bind only those countries. The proposals are now backed by every EU country except Italy and Spain.
Under the unitary patent proposals a European patent holder would make only one application to the EPO for patent protection across the 25 EU countries that have signed up to the scheme, with successful patents being initially published in English, French or German and eventually translated into all three languages. Applications for unitary patent protection not made in any of those languages would have to be translated in order to be considered, although applicants would be compensated for the cost of this.
Italy and Spain have objected to the plans, with both lodging legal cases with the European Court of Justice (ECJ). Spain has said that restricting the language regime to English, French and German was discriminatory whilst Italy has said the plans are unlawful and would distort competition.
The European Commission has previously said that it can cost more than €32,000 in translation and other costs to obtain a Europe-wide patent, compared with an average cost of $1,850 in the US. The Commission estimated the overall yearly cost of validating patents in the EU to be €193m.
The rapporteurs will lobby for slight amendments to the current proposals in order to reduce the cost of renewing unitary patent cover for small businesses, the European Parliament said. The negotiators will also try to secure "special reimbursement and an easier access to patent protection" for the costs incurred in submitting applications not in either English, French or German, it said.
A draft agreement (31-page / 182KB PDF) on a guiding framework for the establishment of a unified patent court was published by the Council of Ministers on the 24 November. The Parliament said that its rapporteur "will seek to ensure that the litigation system is efficient, by giving it a decentralised structure, clear procedural rules and judges selected for their competence".
According to the Council of Ministers' draft agreement, issues that have still to be resolved before a unified patent court can be established include precisely how it will be financed and the level of court fees that would apply. There is also still disagreement over what languages cases should be heard in during proceedings in the unified patents court. Plans to give individuals up to seven years to decide whether to bring cases to the unified patents court or to national courts have also still to be agreed upon.
An unspecified number of the 25 member states involved in establishing the new unitary patent system would have to ratify the draft agreement before it comes into force, but that number must include "the three states in which the highest number of European patents were in force in the year before the signature of the agreement," the Council of Ministers' draft said.
The Polish presidency of the Council of Ministers wants agreement on the unified patent court at a meeting in Warsaw on 22 December, according to the draft.
"In order to ensure legal certainty for patent holders and third parties, in particular alleged infringers and the workability of the system creating the European patent with unitary effect, the establishment of a unified patent litigation system is essential. It is therefore necessary that the ratification of the draft agreement takes place and Court becomes fully operational as soon as possible," it said.
In March the ECJ forced the European Commission and 25 EU member states involved in setting up the unitary patent system to revise their plans after stating that the plans at the time would be incompatible with EU law. In an opinion it stated that plans to create a single court system for patents issued through the EU would interpret EU law but operate outside of the EU courts system, leaving citizens without recourse to action through the EU courts.
Since then the EU Ministers have been working on proposals for a dispute system that works within the existing EU judicial structures.
The European Commission's unitary patent proposals must be supported by the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament in order to come into force.

I was wondering what the difference was between the blank fleshing blade and the fleshing blades that I have seen for sale? Some people sell a "soft blank fleshing blade" and a "soft fleshing blade". They also sell a "hard blank fleshing blade" and a "hard fleshing blade".
What does the "blank" mean? I also wonder what most people prefer? I am pretty good at sharpening almost any kind of steel. Should I get a hard blade to start with?
Return to Tanning Category Menu
The blanks are just the formed steel that has the holes drilled or cut into it. The "Blade" has been sharpend and has had the lip put on it.

It would appear that after our 3 heavenly, gorgeous sunny days here in Salzburg we may have consumed all the sunshine for our 2-week allotment. That does make me a bit sad, but it's imperative to remember why the rain is necessary and, in fact, sublime!
At a recent dinner party (oh God, it was good! And the recipe can be found in the new Opera Singer's Cookbook: Die Oper Kocht!) I couldn't get enough of the gorgeous flowers that were abundantly and proudly strutting their stuff. I leave you in peace to enjoy the hard labors of the rain that so dutifully falls on this lovely, historic, sonorific town!
PS – Don't forget you can now follow me on Twitter if you like!!
Wonderful photos.
Some videos on youtube, from monday Norma performance in Salzburg..:)
I adore Dahlias, even though they are deemed too unfashionable nowadays!
Took some pictures in Edinburgh a couple of months ago, the Royal Crescent after the rain was magical: http://flic.kr/p/85z912
But then I adore icy conditions too, everything just glistens e.g: http://flic.kr/p/7GZ5AK
1. More gorgeous photos. I can't decide whether your voice or your pictures are the more beautiful.
2. What about putting your cinammon roll recipe on your blog? Good Kansas cinnamon rolls should be made available to all.
3. I hope your twitter whatever doesn't detract from your blog. I don't do "twitter" but I adore following your blog.
Rain – a little bit now and then – may be good. But what we have got this summer is, as Heinrich Heine said, "a winter, painted green". ;-))
Hello dear Joyce!
Those pictures are amazing!
You sing so nice and you also are a great photographer!
I'm studying to be an opera singer, it´s such a big dream. But I also have a big passion for photography.
I hope you are fine.
Au revoir!!!
Love, Lili (México)
These photos take my breath away! I must confess, I'm tempted to scratch and sniff my screen.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Eynsham, Near Oxford, United Kingdom, 2010/08/19 - Hytec has today announced that it will host a complimentary webinar, dedicated to helping trusts understand the requirements of version 8 of the IG Toolkit (IGT).
IGT version 8 assessments must be submitted by all health and non-health organisations by 31 March 2011. In addition, trusts and SHAs must submit their Baseline and Performance Update submissions by 31 October 2010.
Robin Ingram, Hytecs Information Assurance Officer, and presenter at the webinar said, Version 8 is more rigorous than its predecessors and includes several material changes. Its more challenging to complete and a lot more time-consuming than previous versions as organisations are required to go into greater depth about their policies, procedures and processes.
Hytecs webinar Understanding IGT V8 will explain the changes in version 8, and allow participants to put their questions to industry experts. Participants will learn:
what the changes are;
what they mean;
how the changes impact the requirement to complete the assessment;
what needs to be done before 31 October 2010; and
the consequences of failing to comply.
Mr Ingram concluded: Everything in the IG Toolkit is there for a reason, either to protect the N3 network and all organisations connected to it, protect Spine applications, or protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of patient data. Therefore its crucial that we help trusts to understand the requirements and ensure they comply with the assessment process.
Who should attend
Those responsible for, and tasked with, completing an IG Toolkit assessment; including:
Chief Executives
Information Asset Officers
IG Leads
Data Protection Officers
Caldicott Guardians
IM&T Managers.

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Mark Martin continues to defy his age, becoming the third-oldest winner in NASCAR history.
The pole-sitter, 50, pulled away on a restart with six laps to go for the victory in the Subway 500 on Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway.
Martin, who has waffled on retirement several times in the past four years, led 157 of 312 laps. He was out front when teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s accident brought out a caution with 11 laps to go, erasing a four-second lead he held over Tony Stewart.
Crew chief Alan Gustafson debated with Martin on strategy before the Hendrick Motorsports team called Martin in. He won a close race with Kyle Busch off pit road, then Busch was flagged for speeding.
Martin settled into second place behind Ryan Newman, who didn't pit. Martin then shot past Newman on the restart and cruised to his first win since Kansas at 2005. It snapped a 97-race winless streak.
"No burnouts for me," he radioed his crew. "Just a backward Polish victory lap for my man Alan Kulwicki."
The last 50-year-old to win a Cup race was Morgan Shepherd in 1993 at Atlanta. Harry Gant holds the record as the oldest driver to win a Cup race. He was 52 when he won at Michigan in 1992.
Before Martin, only three drivers 50 or older had won Cup races: Gant, Shepherd and Bobby Allison.
Stewart was second, followed by Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Greg Biffle.
"I knew I had to go," Martin said of the last few laps. "I went one way, and that didn't work, so I went the other … and made it work."

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends which could subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 3 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Hold."
CenturyLinkDividend Yield: 5.80% CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.80%. CenturyLink, Inc. operates as an integrated telecommunications company in the United States. The company operates through four segments: Consumer, Business, Wholesale, and Data Hosting. The average volume for CenturyLink has been 5,048,200 shares per day over the past 30 days. CenturyLink has a market cap of $21.2 billion and is part of the telecommunications industry. Shares are up 15% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. TheStreet Ratings rates CenturyLink as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, expanding profit margins and increase in stock price during the past year. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 3.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 0.6%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for CENTURYLINK INC is rather high; currently it is at 57.45%. Regardless of CTL's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 4.47% trails the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 31.9% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $298.00 million to $203.00 million.
- Net operating cash flow has declined marginally to $1,380.00 million or 0.50% when compared to the same quarter last year. In conjunction, when comparing current results to the industry average, CENTURYLINK INC has marginally lower results.

Hello Fellow Cruisers!
Anyone know if someone traveling with me can pay for their Sign & Sail account with a separate credit card than the one used to book the cruise.
We have several people in the cabin and everyone would like to pay for their own expenses with their own credit card.
Anyone ever done this?
Hi Mary,
Absolutely yes. The credit card used for booking has nothing to do with securing the Sail & Sign accounts. They won't know the credit card used for booking when the accounts are set up. Each person can secure their account online or in person during the check-in process.
Each person will have a seperate folio of charges. They can also change the credit card, or use another method of payment to secure the account by going to the Info/Purser's Desk.
Best regards from another 1993 Carnivale cruiser. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif
Thanks Dwayne!
I thought it was okay but we usually just pay cash for individual accounts -- now that the kids are old enough to pay their own way, they want to use a credit card!
Went on the Celebration in January -- had a wonderful time. Dad & I cruise every January and selected the Celebration because of my past experience on her in June 07. Will post my review in more detail and one of our upcoming family reunion cruise on the Imagination, sailing March 10 when I get back.
Happy cruising, and thanks again!

Lake California >> A Verizon Wireless proposal to construct a 120-foot monopole communications tower within the Lake California subdivision will be heard by the Tehama County Planning Commission Thursday.
The public hearing for the company's application for a use permit will be heard at 9 a.m. at the Board Chambers, 727 Oak St. in Red Bluff.
The proposed tower is 1.5 miles away from the nearest residential dwelling.
The site is next to a Rio Alto Water District water storage facility, about 1.5 miles east of Interstate 5 and 1-mile west of Riverview Drive.
The tower would include a generator pad and equipment shelter.
County staff is recommending the project be approved.
The Tehama County Zoning Code allows new transmission towers in any district upon securing a use permit.
The 1 acre site and surrounding area is described as undeveloped open pasture.
Mock-up photographs included in the staff report shows the very top of the tower may be visible above the tree lines in some areas.
The site can be reached by a gravel road and is accessibly by a locked gate, managed by Lake California's facilities personnel.
The communications tower, equipment shelter and generator pad wold be enclosed in a 40- by 40-foot fenced area.
One fruit tree would be removed to allow space for the fence.
County staff concluded the project would have no impact on the area's aesthetics.
The Planning Department has not received any written comments from concerned residents in the project's vicinity.

A lower-than-expected water rate hike is still too much for Queens residents already drowning in bills.
The New York Water Board will adopt a 7.5 percent rate hike approved by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on Friday, May 13. The rate hike will go into effect on July 1.
Assemblymember David Weprin introduced a bill in January that if passed, would cap the annual water rate increase to a maximum of 5 percent – or the current inflation rate. Weprin said that even with the Water Board's 7.5 percent increase, he will still fight to push his bill, Assembly Bill 2672, through for next year.
"We have to do something to limit these rate increases," Weprin said. "The middle class is being squeezed and it's getting out of hand."
Supporting Weprin's bill, Councilmember Dan Halloran said that a water rate hike could prove to be devastating to working families.
"High water bills hit middle class families and homeowners in forms of higher rents and maintenance fees," said Halloran. "They're another hit to the already-vulnerable pocketbooks of Queens families, who are struggling to make ends meet as it is. By limiting the amount the rate can go up every year, we will force the Department [of Environmental Protection] to tighten its belt and cut waste on the massive projects that have put it in this situation."
The 7.5 percent increase in the water rate makes 2012 the 15th consecutive year with a rate hike – though this year's is far less than last year's 12.9 percent hike.
DEP Commissioner Cas Holloway said that the department took steps this year to reduce costs and that is why the hike is so much lower than last year. Holloway said that the DEP initiated an 8 percent budget reduction in 2011, saving approximately $76 million per year. He went on to say that this year's 7.5 percent hike reflects the amount of additional funding the DEP needs to cover its budget.
"When I became commissioner last year, I committed to take every reasonable step to keep water rates as low as possible – and still meet DEP's fundamental obligation to deliver high-quality drinking water to nine million New Yorkers, and treat 1.3 billion gallons of wastewater that the city generates every day," he said. "That task is particularly challenging given that federally mandated, but unfunded construction projects account for nearly 72 percent of DEP's capital commitments since 2002. This has driven up our annual debt service costs by approximately $700 million over the same time period – and unsustainable pace for New Yorkers who are struggling to make ends meet."
Halloran said that is the main reason he is throwing his support behind the bill.
"Queens homeowners are paying for the cost of overruns on billion-dollar filtration plants," said Halloran. "The city must be responsible with the taxpayer's money, and this bill will make that happen."

(PhysOrg.com) -- The Herschel Space Observatory has snapped its first picture since blasting into space on May 14, 2009. The mission, led by the European Space Agency with important participation from NASA, will use infrared light to explore our cosmic roots, addressing questions of how stars and galaxies are born.
The new "sneak preview" image was taken in an early attempt to demonstrate that Herschel works, and, in particular, that its telescope is focused and correctly aligned with the science instruments, and to whet our appetites for what's yet to come. It shows the Whirlpool galaxy, which lies relatively nearby, about 35 million light-years away, in the constellation Canes Venatici.
The galaxy was first observed by Charles Messier in 1773, who gave the beauty its official name of Messier 51. Back then, astronomers, including William Herschel, the observatory's namesake, catalogued objects like these as fuzzy nebulae without knowing their true nature. Later, Messier 51 became one of the first of these fuzzy objects observed to have a spiral structure, a finding that eventually led to the revelation that galaxies full of stars exist far from our own.
The image is a composite of infrared light captured with Herschel's Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer at three wavelengths: 70, 100 and 160 microns. Herschel's full wavelength range spans 55 to 672 microns. The blue and white areas show where stars are actively forming, while the brown regions contain cold dust. The brightest blue dot at top left is a smaller, companion galaxy.
Longer-wavelength light inherently does not produce pictures with resolution as high as those obtained at shorter wavelengths, such as visible light. However, because Herschel's mirror is the largest infrared astronomy mirror ever launched in space (3.5 meters, or about 11.5 feet across), it can take the sharpest pictures to date at the particular wavelengths it observes.
During its prime mission phase, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, also a space-based infrared telescope, could see shorter-wavelength light, with wavelengths ranging from 3.6 to 160 microns. Because the two telescopes are able to see, for the most part, different wavelengths of light, their results complement each other, highlighting the multifaceted features of cosmic objects. Spitzer's shorter-wavelength infrared view of the Whirlpool galaxy, in comparison to a visible-light view, can be seen at gallery.spitzer.caltech.edu/Im … age_name=ssc2004-19a .
Herschel is in the final stretches of its journey to the second Lagrange point of the Earth-sun system. The observatory will spend its lifetime, estimated to be at least three-and-a-half-years, orbiting this point, which is about 1.5 million kilometers (930,000 miles) from Earth on the opposite side of our planet from the sun. After a cover protecting the telescope's instruments was popped open on June 14, engineers and scientists commanded the telescope to take its first test picture. The telescope is still being commissioned, with science observations expected to begin later this year.
Herschel is a European Space Agency cornerstone mission, with science instruments provided by a consortia of European institutes and with participation by NASA.

Local Entrepreneur is Awarded Prestigious Honorary Doctorate from Leading University
Dr. Pearse Lyons, president of the Kentucky headquartered company, Alltech, received an honorary doctorate from one of Ireland's leading universities on 3 November 2004. Dr. Lyons, who is Irish born, is a former student of the institute, where he received his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry in the 1960's. The day marked the start of the 150 year anniversary celebrations for University College Dublin, the largest college of the National University of Ireland.
Dr. Lyons pursued his studies after University College Dublin, graduating with a Masters and Ph.D in Brewing Technology, before establishing Alltech in 1980.
Also receiving a doctorate was David Byrne, former European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, who coincidentally was also a keynote speaker at Alltech's 20th Feed Industry Symposium in Kentucky earlier this year. Other recipients included former US Congressman Bruce Morrison, who instigated a green-card lottery for over 50,000 Irish nationals in the 1990's and Michael Flatley, the famous Irish-American who brought a modern version of traditional Irish dancing, 'Lord of the Dance', to international acclaim. The University selected 19 people for their achievements in science, law, socio-economics, politics, arts, and academic excellence.
Speaking after the ceremony, Dr. Lyons said; 'I'm really delighted to be back to my former university where I took my first steps into the scientific arena. This is such an honour, and I am very proud to be here with other great achievers'.
He continued; 'Alltech's success can really be traced back to my days here, where I got the idea of pursuing a Ph.D on a specific strain of yeast. This strain became the basis of Alltech's flagship yeast product: Yea-Sacc?1026.'
Alltech was founded in the 1980 and is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. The company is truly multinational, with operations in 76 countries and 1,500 employees around the world.

Nichiren, the son of a fisherman, was born in the village of Kominato, on the Pacific coast of the present Bōsō Peninsula in eastern Japan. When he was 11 years old, he entered the Buddhist monastery of Kiyosumi-dera, near Kominato, and after four years of novitiate received the Buddhist orders. Buddhism in Japan had become more and more doctrinally confused, and the identity of the various sects was based more on...

Vaishali (Bihar), Oct 19 (ANI): Sitting in his small unkempt studio, known as Bamboo Art Centre, artisan Sitaram Malik is concentrating hard to carve out a piece of art from a dead and dry bamboo.
Forty-year-old Malik has created many statues, facemasks and replicas of famous buildings which have won him laurels and awards.
A seasoned artist, whose artifacts are in big demand in India as well as overseas, earns a living out of bamboo art.
He says the art can come to the rescue of rural unemployed youth in his village. All he wishes is that the government should patronise and promote it.
"We request the government and the people concerned that there are many possibilities to create employment for the youth. The government should start a big industry so that mass production can be started. So, unemployed people can start working and earn their living," said Malik.
The artiste has trained many young people, who in turn are encouraging others in learning the skills of making bamboo artifacts.
Students who have learnt how to put bamboo poles and reeds in use are making household items like furniture, dustbins, tea mugs, wall hangings, and jewellery not only for their personal use but also for sale.
"We encourage children in the village to pursue the art. We have trained people elsewhere and created job opportunities. There were people who were unemployed they took training from this centre. They are now working and earning a decent living," said Nabal Kishore, an artisan.
The artisans say depending on the traditional bamboo art will not only preserve and promote the art, but will also stop rural people from migrating to cities in search of jobs.
Bamboo is split into thin strips to craft beautiful items. Sourcing bamboo is economical and viable as it is the fastest growing woody plant in the world.
Some of the prime species of bamboo have recorded growth rate of three to four feet in a single day. By Ajay Kumar (ANI)

Nolensville released their police chief of the last seven years on Wednesday.
Mayor Jimmy Alexander confirmed that Paul Rigsby and another officer, Troy Buckley, were no longer town employees.
Mayor Alexander said that it was a termination without cause because they wanted a change of personnel.
Nolensville has launched a job search to fill the position of police chief.
Mayor Alexander said that the search will take time because they want to find the appropriate person.
In the mean time, police officer David Hazlett will serve as interim police chief.
According to Nolensville's city Web site, Rigsby's leadership over the last seven years has helped the police department become a full-coverage department instead of part-time.

Shaftesbury| England
Sunday, March 2, 2014
I find comfort in quiet mornings. For those who know me, as of late I've been stretching myself in many directions with hospital work, on-call shifts and efforts to keep growing creatively that at times I wonder if there is an easy how-to guide on doing it right.
(It is overcast and gray in Dublin right now and I am still in bed, a very good thing right now).
At the end of February we attended a food photography workshop held by Marte Marie Forsberg in dreamy Shaftesbury, England. She truly is a visual story maker: the way she speaks is gentle and even, closing your eyes listening to her images suddenly appear clean, vivid and emotive. Learning to play with light using simple boards, create shadows, understand our camera settings was a joy to learn under her tutelage.
George Maguire once said 'the eye is always caught by light, but shadows have more to say'. I cannot think of a better way to describe her work. And as for Shaftesbury, well it just does not get any more idyllic than that. My little heart is already dreaming of spending many long cottage days there when I grow old.
*To Ajda and Tricia, a very heartfelt thank you for being the sweetest angels on my very Murphy's law day that Saturday.

text: We received trade execution reports from an active trader who wanted to know why his larger orders almost never completely filled, even when the amount of stock advertised exceeded the number of shares wanted. For example, if 25,000 shares were at the best offer, and he sent in a limit order at the best offer price for 20,000 shares, the trade would, more likely than not, come back partially filled. In some cases, more than half of the amount of stock advertised (quoted) would disappear immediately before his order arrived at the exchange. This was the case, even in deeply liquid stocks such as Ford Motor Co (symbol F, market cap: $70 Billion). The trader sent us his trade execution reports, and we matched up his trades with our detailed consolidated quote and trade data to discover that the mechanism described in Michael Lewis's "Flash Boys" was alive and well on Wall Street.

La influencia de las instituciones en la racionalidad del individuo a partir de Adam Smith
[The influence of institutions on individuals rationality from Adam Smith]
The Neoclassical Theory assumes that individuals are essentially selfish and maximize the utility of their income, measured on some utility scale. It defines the rationality of individuals based on preference relations, which should not change by the context. However, it is a fact that individuals do not generally use these "market rules" with their families, friends, colleagues or in their neighborhoods. This behavior has been seen as "Bounded rationality" or "failures" in the individual's behavior. The main objective of this paper is to explore this kind of behavior and pose some questions about how institutions influence the preferences and decisions of individuals in some contexts. The assumption we have is: In reality, the homo economicus considers context as additional information and reacts on that basis. He adapts to the community with which he interacts as a matter of "survival". We conclude that there is a "Broader rationality" in that behavior, which goes beyond the one defined in the Neoclassical Theory, which is applicable in highly specific conditions.

University of Georgia partners with The Creative Circus
The University of Georgia's Grady School of Journalism & Mass Communication Department of Advertising and Public Relations has partnered with The Creative Circus to offer the first ever Summer at The Circus. Through this offering, students can earn up to 6 hours of upper-level elective credit offered by the Department of Advertising & Public Relations while studying onsite at The Creative Circus in Atlanta. During these eight weeks, students will develop and refine skills such as critical thinking, branding, concepting, packaging and marketing, all in the innovative, unconventional approach we take here at The Circus.
"This program is a creativity boot camp, and we are very excited to partner with one of the best portfolio schools in the country to offer students a better creative understanding and skill set," said Dr. Tom Reichert, Head of the Department of Advertising & Public Relations at UGA. "The program is helping to develop tomorrow's leaders in creative communication. Even students pursuing an account management track will benefit by honing their skills and gaining a greater appreciation for good creative."
Dave Haan, executive director of The Creative Circus, is extremely pleased with the partnership. "For years, many of the best students at the Creative Circus have come to us with an advertising major from The University of Georgia" says Haan. "It is an honor and a pleasure to build a partnership with the Advertising and Public Relations Department at UGA. We believe that it will strengthen both schools and put us both in better positions to turn out well-trained advertising professionals."
Classes have started for this summer, but we expect to take applications for Summer 2014 this upcoming fall.

This touches on a question I would love to be able to answer Why is MySQL so much more popular right now, especially in the OpenSource community? As a database I find its architecture with multiple underlying engines and other quirks to be rather dubious. Then there is the issue of commercial licenses and exactly when you must have those and what it will really cost. Yet it is pretty ubiquitous. How come? Why isn't postgresql more on developer's minds when they think of OS databases? Amazon cloud has great scalable MySQL support but apparently not postgreql. Why? Is there something about postgresql that is bugging all these people or what? - samantha On Jul 29, 2010, at 10:16 AM, Ivan Sergio Borgonovo wrote: > On Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:52:46 -0700 > "Joshua D.

Hi. I've been overweight all of my life but I have noticed that my double chin is the feature that absolutely destroys my self-esteem. I'm a college student in Ohio and I have been seriously considering liposuction for my chin. I can't even look at photos of myself without bursting into tears. I don't know exactly what procedure I would need or how much it would cost and that scares me because I'm working with VERY limited funds. (Around $1,000-1,400). What are my options?
Double Chin Reduction Questions? (photo)
Doctor Answers 10
Double Chin Reduction Costs
For the most cost effective procedure performed with the highest standard of care, consult with surgeons who own their own nationally accredited surgery center.
To understand your options, consult with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons

Double Chin reduction options
I would recommend liposuction of your neck. This procedure can be done under oral sedation, IV sedation, or general anesthesia along with local anesthesia. It is less costly to have it done with oral sedation and local anesthesia. This should make a big difference in your life. Good luck !
Chin Liposuction for the double chin
At this early stage in your life, chin liposuction would be ideal as the skin can rebound well after surgery. Good Luck. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Chin liposuction could work well for you
It is quite possible that chin liposuction can help improve your contour. Usually a double chin can be greatly improved with liposuction if the skin has good elasticity. Given your age it is quite likely that your skin elastic enough to adequately tighten after liposuction and give a significant improvement.

Liposuction of Neck and Chin
Liposuction of the neck and chin areas will produce an improvement in that area for you. You may be able to find a plastic surgeon to perform this for you for $1500 or so. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Addressing a double chin
Simple liposuction will only address a minimal amount of fat that is present in the submental space. A neck lift will need to be performed to address any subplatysmal fat. It is also very important that patients are at their ideal body weight which can be measured through body mass index. Liposuction is performed for diet resistant fat once patients are at their ideal body weight.
Neck Liposuction for Double Chin
Your best treatment option would be liposuction of the entire neck. This could be done most economically by doing it under local or light IV sedation anesthesia. You also appear to have a slight chin deficiency so its simultaneous treatment would also be helpful but that may not fit into your budget.

Liposuction for double chin.
By your photos, it appears that you might be a good candiate anatomically for liposuction of the chin if the overlying skin has good elasticity.
I would caution that this is a quick fix of one area and that a more healthful approach would be a great weight loss program. Your emotional response to seeing photos and bringing tears says that this is a very troublesome for you. Is this a large enough issue that you continually focus and it disrupts your life? If so, I would recommend discussing this at length with your surgeon. Good luck.

Double chin reduction
From your photos, it does appear that you would be a candidate for liposuction of the under chin/neck area. This should help to improve your double chin, although generalized weight loss would probably help as well or in addition to the liposuction. The cost is going to vary so you will need to check around your area to see what your options might be.

Your Accommodation - Monarch ratings
Official ratings are set by relevant overseas authorities (where applicable), but unfortunately do not represent a consistent way of comparing accommodation standards from one country to the next. We have established our own Diamond ratings to help you choose. These are based on our own knowledge at the time of going to press, and take into account facilities, food, service and location as well as the characteristic differences between hotels and apartments. The ratings are given on a scale of 2-5 diamonds and represent a range from basic good value without frills to above average with extra comfort. Properties with a 'plus' rating are those which have that little something extra that stands them apart. Not all accommodation within the same rating will necessarily offer the same facilities.
