The Castle
Historic house in Marietta, OH features Gothic Revival style architecture, tours, special events and activities for all ages.
The Betsey Mills was founded in 1911 under the name The Girls' Monday Club. The Monday Club was the result of a sewing class started in 1898 in Marietta by Mrs. Betsey Mills and other community minded women. The first permanent home of the Monday Club was the white frame house on the corner of Fourth and Putnam Streets.
The home was donated by Mr. and Mrs. William Mills in 1916. The home became the nucleus of the present complex constructed by Mr. Mills as a memorial to his wife. The Betsey Mills as you see it today was dedicated on June 13, 1927 and donated by Mr. Mills to the community of Marietta.
Today, the Betsey continues to offer programs and services for every member of the community. Pool Therapy, Warm Water Arthritis Workout, and Yoga are just a few of the many health enhancement programs available at the Betsey. Programs include a state licensed Day Care and Preschool Center, Red Cross Authorized swim lessons, and classes for all ages. Rooms are also available for meetings, special events and classes. The needs and desires of community members determine what classes and activities are offered. The Betsey Mills has always offered safe and secure housing for women in our dormitories on the second floor. The residents enjoy the peaceful nature of downtown living at a low weekly rate. The Betsey will continue to offer housing at low rates due to the support of the community through donations and volunteering for functions throughout the year.

Man Gets Arrested For DUI Wearing the Worst Shirt Possible. You would think that if you were going to get completely hammered and drive a car you wouldn't think, "Hey what a good night to wear my Drunk As Shit T-shirt!" Well this 21-year-old Oregon man did.
Ross McMakin was arrested last Sunday for allegedly driving his car onto a sidewalk, hitting a parked car and then attempting to strangle his girlfriend when she tried taking his keys away. The thing that was the cherry on top of the sunday was his shirt that stated 'Drunk As Shit.'
Police say that McMakin's excuse for driving was that his girlfriend didn't know how to drive stick, even though it was his own car. Among damaged pride, Ross was also charged with drunk driving, reckless endangerment, harassment and strangulation.

Work-Study in The Community
Work-Study in the Community
A Federal College Work Study award is an amount you may earn through employment on campus or in a volunteer position with a nonprofit community partner organization.
Federal College Work-Study (FCWS) is a federal work-study program providing part-time employment for eligible college students. Awards are need-based and are part of your financial aid package. The Federal College Work Study program does not guarantee you a job. It gives you an opportunity to earn wages for on campus employment or for service as a volunteer with a nonprofit community partner organization. Instructions on how to use your FCWS award as a volunteer serving a nonprofit organization or agency in the community can be found on the Financial Aid Office Federal Work Study webpage.
If you have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the fastest and easiest way to find out if you are eligible for FCWS is by following these steps:
- Go to MAX.
- Enter your username and password.
- Go to the Financial Aid tab.
- Click on "My Awards", select "Award by Aid Year", enter the aid year, and submit.
- Look at the section Financial Aid Award by Term for the aid year and the Federal College Work-Study line. This will tell you if you were awarded Federal College Work Study, the amount of the award, and whether you have accepted the award. The award amount is the maximum amount of money you can earn through the Federal College Work-Study program.
Even if a Federal College Work Study award does not appear on your Financial Aid account, you may still be eligible to receive one. If you have been awarded other financial aid, then contact the Office of Financial Aid to find out more about whether a Federal College Work-Study eligibility can be added.
Students may choose to work on campus or serve as a volunteer at an off campus nonprofit community organization or agency. Volunteer Central maintains up-to-date information on the many community organizations that welcome Work Study students, as well as additional resources to assist you in finding a volunteer position that meets your interests and schedule. Our staff will help you identify the opportunity that's best for you.
Nonprofit community organizations must complete and submit the Community Service Learning Agreement Form and a FCWS Job Description for the volunteer work that will be completed in order to host Work Study students. Experiential Learning and Career Management has existing agreements with a number of community partner organizations and we can help match you to a volunteer position.
The amount of hours you work will be determined by the amount of your work study award and the current, pre-determined hourly wage. Most students work about 8-10 hours per week. Your hourly wage will be no lower than the current minimum wage. You can confirm the work study wage through the Office of Financial Aid.
Once you have secured a volunteer placement with a community partner organization, you will need to follow the instructions for becoming a student employee of the Office of Financial Aid and complete the necessary background clearances. Once you are cleared to serve, you will receive information on time sheet and payroll processing so that you can begin service as a volunteer and getting paid. You will submit a time sheet to the Office of Financial Aid according to the University payroll schedule and you will be paid by Millersville University's Student Payroll Office every other week. Your site supervisor at the community organization will need to sign your time sheet.
You cannot earn more through the Federal College Work-Study program than your award allows. You will be notified if you approach your limit. You will then need to decide if you want to continue as a volunteer or leave the placement.
Nonprofit community organizations are usually understaffed and depend on every person in the organization, including volunteers, to meet their commitments. If you are absent, it will affect others. If you are unable to go to your volunteer assignment or job, you must contact your supervisor so they can adjust work schedules. If you leave unexpectedly halfway through the semester, your departure will create more work for someone else to do. Make sure you plan your schedule carefully so that you can meet your commitment to the organization and the people with whom you will be working.
You represent Millersville University when you work for a community organization through the Federal College Work Study Program. Millersville University is committed to devoting these federal work study resources to the Lancaster community as a partner in the community. As a student in this program, you will reflect that commitment. We are glad that you are interested in being a part of this opportunity, and we look forward to assisting you.

I am so happy to see my little baby girl grow. She turned 1 this 24th.
4 thoughts on "Chibu is 1 yr. old"
I WROTE THIS ON WOMEN'S DAY….!!! tHOUGHT TO WRITE IN UR BLOG….!!!!
In search of an independent woman
Let the reasons go numb.
Don't think.
Thoughts might bring in some change.
They fear it.
Don't let those new ideas create havoc.
Let them stay out of range.
Why argue?
Why find it strange?
Don't let those ideas run around.
Keep them inside and arrange.
Don't bother the world.
Wait for the right time,
and be ready to derange.
I'm not satisfied with whatever I've written here but this is what came out of me when I was thinking of 'an independent woman'. Someone who is not easily welcomed in majority of social frames. She has to wear a tame, agreeable, sweet, affable mask. Even if she is tame, agreeable, sweet, affable and everything good, she has to keep her independence in a closet. And some have forgotten what it means to be independent. I'm not talking about throwing away all things traditional, but I'm talking about knowing and doing what is reasonably right.
Many women just follow the instructions given at the back of every relationship's package.
Following a wrong sleep pattern, I'm trying to make use of it and wish myself a Happy Woman's Day. The world has a very confused image of an independent woman. At least I am confused. So here I am, trying to ramble on about whatever comes to my mind after that thought.
Women are still portrayed in the Kitchen in children's Standard 1 books in India. Perhaps setting an example about what lies in the future for them. They should make food and feed their men just the way their moms did. Over past two hundred years, there have been scattered examples of vocal outbursts of independent women. Many were misplaced, many were mistaken. Feminism is perhaps the most misunderstood terms around.
I've celebrated this day as a literature student, reading Kamala Das, Simone de Beauvoir, Elice Walker and Virginia Woolfe. But outside the books and theories, there is a different reality. Poor women, they thought it might be about earning. They went out of home. Today, a woman earns as much as a man does. At least in some parts of the world. But she still 'tweaks', 'adjusts', 'squeezes' herself through so many uncomfortable moments that a man can forget over a cup of tea or a bottle of beer.
Lemme take a look around. Women from certain part of society in cities work, earn, drive, travel and live alone. But what about millions of other women?
I've been shielded through many cliches that a girl goes through. But out on my own, when I look around, I keep getting more confused. I should rather look inside. I speak my mind, I follow my heart, I write what comes in my head, I get disgusted at men who stare at me at railway stations, I get frustrated when my reason is compromised, I respect men who make attempt at understanding women, I pity women who do not understand their own value…. But I'm conditioned too. Just like anyother woman or man walking on the street or giving speeches for Presidential elections. Obviously the search can't end with one blog.
In search of PEACE !!!
+91 9925 000 544
Thanks for posting your comments on my blog Roopalee. You are truly multi-faceted. An Executive, a DJ, a poet and an independent woman. When are you turning a blogger as well? You already have a fan following I guess from DJing, you can announce your blog at parties and connect with many more like minded and nice people from all over the world. Think about it.
the pic captures her sweetness. happy birthday to her, even if a week delayed.
Thanks on her behalf Vagabond. Your comment made my day.

Investigating Sustainable Transport is a free research-based resource created by Centro to engage students in investigating transport issues in their local area.
This KS3 geography and citizenship resource has been designed to help increase students' awareness of how transport affects everyday life and how we can all work together to help make it a more sustainable system for all.
We have created this resource as a series of 9 connected 'lessons', structured into 2 sections: Investigating Sustainable Travel and an HS2 Mini-Study. HS2 is a planned high speed rail network which will have Birmingham at the centre. Supporters of HS2 say this would help to make the West Midlands far better connected to both London and other areas of the country, such as Glasgow and Edinburgh, and also enable easier access to mainland Europe.
Teachers' Lesson Plans (4.38MB)
There is also an editable version of the Students' Workbook, which can be filled in online and saved.

Winner: Colleen Cleary
Vice President, Havas PR
Colleen Cleary is a leading expert when it comes to media relations and celebrity partnerships—as vice president of Havas PR, Cleary is a senior client manager who specializes in cause and celebrity. Working with major media outlets and celebrity spokespeople, Cleary's pitches create millions of media impressions, enabling client messages to reach the masses. Her ability to work with varied types of clients and pitch to various media outlets sets her apart.
When Donna Karan's Urban Zen Foundation was looking to generate more press for its work in Haiti, Cleary created a proposal and presented it to Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN. Cleary was able to convince show producers of the seriousness of the topic as well as the expertise of the potential panelists. As a result, the show idea was accepted and in a matter of 24 hours, and over 1 million people soon knew about the foundation.
Cleary's advice to young PR pros: "I think the best path for anyone is to be well-rounded. Know traditional media, know social media and diversify your client base. Generalists with knowledge across many different fields make the best PR people," she says. —Jamar Hudson

Feast: + 2 Health and + 1 mana per unit kill
It's about 20 health and 10 mana per minute in lane, and about the same in the jungle. Not super exciting. It's basically a biscuit every 4 minutes. But here's a look at why it's pretty bad. If your sustain already keeps you going, 20 health and 10 mana isn't going to make a difference.
Fury: + 1.25%/2.5%/3.75%/5% Attack Speed for 4 points. Cool. 25% buff from its current numbers
Sorcery: + 1.25%/2.5%/3.75%/5% CDR for 4 points. Cool. 25% buff from its current numbers.
Butcher: + 2 damage to minions/monsters. Cool.
Double Edge Sword: + 2% damage dealt and + 1% damage taken if melee, otherwise + 1.5% damage dealt and taken.
This point may seem like shit, but consider how much time you spend doing damage without taking it. Split-pushing. Farming. Being ranged.
Brute Force: + 4/8/12 AD at level 18.
33% buff from its current numbers.
Mental Force: + 6/12/18 AP at level 18.
33% buff from its current numbers.
Spell/Blade Weaving: Spell damage increases auto-attack damage by 1% stacking up to 3 times, and vice versa.
Are you Jax?
Martial Mastery: + 5 AD.
That's a lot of AD.
Arcane Mastery: + 8 AP.
That's a lot of AP.
Executioner: increases damage dealt to targets below 20/35/50% health by 5%.
Dangerous Game: Restores 5% of Health/Mana on kill
Probably good on assassins, who like Executioner as well.
Warlord: Increases bonus AD by 2%/3.5%/5%.
Archmage: Increases AP by 2%/3.5%/5%.
Frenzy: Crit = + 5% AS, but stacks up to 3 times and last 3 seconds.
Essentially, one lucky crit won't help as much anymore, but lots of crit will help more.
Devastating Strikes: + 2%/4%/6% Armor/Magic Pen.
This is a nerf, but there are also alleged Penetration changes in the work, so who knows what this will mean. Essentially, Riot sounds like they want to make flat pen kill squishies, while % Pen only kills tanks. As such, I think they're nerfing % Pen so you have to really itemize to kill tanks.
Arcane Blade: 5% of AP on-hit.
Captain Teemo, on duty!
Havoc: 3% Increased Damage
Block: Reduces incoming champion attack damage by 1/2
Unyielding: Reduces incoming champion damage by 2 if melee, 1 if ranged.
Recovery: +1/+2 Heath Regen/5 seconds.
12 health per minute? That's worse than Feast, although you don't have to constantly kill minions to benefit from it.
Enchanted Armor: + 2.5%/+5% Bonus Armor/MR
Unlikely to be valuable unless you're buying a good deal of Armor/MR. After all, Legendary Armor never caught on this season. But this is at a much lower point level, and has barely any good competition on non-junglers. I could see it being an ok pick on laners, since they won't want Tough Skin.
Tough Skin: Reduced jungle damage by 1/by 2.
Bladed Armor: Returns 1% of current health in damage to jungle monsters that attack you.
Being % Current Health, this will no longer steal buffs! I still consider it weak.
Veteran Scars: + 12/24/36 Health
Don't compare this to the old Veteran's Scars; it falls short, but it stands up better against Durability; it gives about a third of the health at level 18, but is better until level 6 (this is the cutoff point Riot is trying to set for a lot of their flat vs per level runes)
Juggernat: + 3% Max Health
Old Juggernaut gave you 4% of your Max health with 3 points; now you get 3% with 1 point! Talk about a buff.
Oppression: 3% DR vs CC'd targets
Hardiness/Resistance: 2/3.5/5 Armor/MR
The same masteries you know and live, but higher up in the tree
Perseverance: +1/2/3% of your missing health every 5 seconds.
How strong is this? Well, if you have 500 health (level 1) and are at half health (250), you will get 2.5 Health per 5. That's 25% more health regen than Feast gives you, and 150% more health than Recovery gives. As your health goes up, it only gets stronger. It's stronger than Mundo's passive whenever you're below 70% health (and when you're above 70% health, are you in dire need of Regen?)
Second Wind: +10% Healing when below 25% health
I could see this being cool if you have lots of lifesteal or healers on your team. But it's definitely situational unless you're Aatrox.
Swiftness: reduces slows by 10%
Only costing 1 point instead of 2 is definitely a buff, but the problem is that if you're getting slowed, reducing the amount of the slow probably isn't going to do much for you.
Reinforced Armor: Reduces incoming crit damage by 10%
Are you against an Ezreal? Probably less good than if you're against a Tristana. I just feel like this is such a late game mastery that it won't catch on. But I could be wrong.
Evasion: Reduced AoE damage by 4%.
I think this is pretty decent. Mages rarely focus tanks, so most of the magic damage you take is AoE.
Legendary Guardian: + 1 Armor and + .5 MR per nearby champion.
1 point of this gives you 5 Armor and 2.5 MR in teamfights. That's 3 points in Hardiness and 1.5 points in resistance.
In a 1v1, it's only worth 1 Armor and .5 MR, for about 1 point in Hardiness/Resistance.
So the 1 point mastery is worth in between 1 point and 4.5 points in masteries. I'll take it.
4 points of this gives you a whopping 20 Armor and 10 MR in teamfights, for 18 mastery points worth of resistances. And let's not forget the extra 1 point of Armor and half point of MR from Enchanted Armor 😀
Runic Shield: 50 HP shield that regens on respawn
This point is straight up terrible.
Tenacity: 15% CC Reduction
Much better as a one-point wonder than a 3-point drain
Phasewalker: Faster Recall. *snore*
Fleet of Foot: + .5%/1%/1.5% Movement Speed.
I'm sad to lose the 3% Movement Speed from Utility, but this is much more readily available.
Meditation: +1/2/3 Mana Regen per 5 seconds
You either like Mana Regen or you don't
Scout: Longer cast range on wards.
This is way better than longer sight range on wards. It makes warding brushes a lot safer.
Conjurer: traps and other conjured units last 10% longer
Teemo and Shaco and Nidalee just got 10% more annoying
Summoner's Insight: 4/7/10% Summoner Spell CDR
Good before, good now!
Strength of Spirit: 10% of Mana Regen -> Health Regen
Do you stack Mana Regen?
Alchemist: 10% longer potions/elixirs
Uh…cool. Because when I want to all-in people with Fort Pots, I definitely run 9 in Utility.
Biscuiteer: 20 health and 10 mana per potion
If you buy more than 1 ward per minute, this beats out Feast!
Greed: GP5
Wealth: Gold
Runic Affinity: Increased Buff Duration
Are you a jungler/mid? Cool!
Vampirism: +1/2/3% Lifesteal/Spell Vamp
This is alright enough, but getting 3 points means sacrificing damage elsewhere, and if your damage is low, your lifesteal/spell vamp will be too.
Bandit: + 15 gold on Kill/Assist?
This Mastery is for supports.
Scavenger: + 1 gold per nearby minion death
Just No
Expanded Mind: + 2% Max Mana
Are you Singed? 2% of 1000 Mana is 20 Mana, so I don't see this as that exciting…
Inspiration: + 5 XP every 10 seconds when near a higher level champion.
Unless you intend on just living in solo lanes….
Intelligence: + 2/4/6% CDR and + 4/8/12% Activated Item CDR.
A nice buff to add activated items to this.
Wanderer: + 5% Movement Speed out of combat.
This is a lot of Movement Speed at the start of your ganks. It probably won't be that useful while clearing, because minions count as combat.
9 points in Offense never felt so good. Junglers didn't get much out of 9 points in offense; AD/lvl didn't kick in until carries had too much damage, and % Pen didn't do much to increase your damage. As a result, you either invested the whole 21 points to get the early game boosts to damage or you picked up AD/lvl and % Pen and didn't really help your early game damage at all. 21 points in offense will really only pay off now if you pick up pure offensive items, something that has been dangerous in the past in the jungle. Maybe the new gold will change this.
Defense now has a lot of scaling strength in the top of the tree, with its flat strength coming at points 9+. This may seem paradoxical, but the nerf to the early tankiness available is a buff to bruisers. In Season 3, everybody put 9 points in defense, so bruisers and tanks weren't really special early game in tankiness. Their benefits were LATE game tankiness, which often didn't really set in until they had been out-scaled by carries. Now, champions who invest in defensive masteries will actually be significantly tankier than other champions early game.
Utility is basically the same, but loses the XP, while gaining more accessible Movement Speed. What does this mean? It means getting INTO a gank will be a bit easier. Getting around the map will be easier. Sticking on a target will be a bit harder, but not noticeably.
0/21/9 got a small buff; your early game Movement Speed in combat is up.
9/21/0 got a huge buff; your early game strength will be great compared with that of 21/9/0 carries.
9/9/9 now has two viable endings: 9/9/12 (for Lifesteal) or 9/12/9 (for Armor). I look to see these page be very strong.
0/9/21 is still strong, but doesn't get you an early 6. However, it gives you 5 biscuits, a TON of Movement Speed, and even extra gold early game, and sacrifices tankiness. I think this style is weaker now, but not by much. The lower Smite CD will also alleviate that.
21/9/0 does seem weaker to me, objectively. I'm not sure much can be done about that.

Once you reach the top of Sokoban, you encounter the zoo. Beyond the zoo are three closets. One of the closets contains the Sokoban prize, either an amulet of reflection or a bag of holding. Take it, for it is reward for solving Sokoban (or for carefully following the instructions from the Sokoban spoilers).
NetHack brass Edit
We now discuss the situation in the variant called NetHack brass. After completing Sokoban, there is one more puzzle for you to solve. This puzzle is a choice.
In brief, each of the three closets contains a prize. You may open the closets and view the prizes: an amulet, a bag, or a cloak. The caveat is this: grab one prize, and the other two disappear. The choice is always between the following:
All monsters and pets will avoid stepping on or touching these prizes, so do not believe that you can find a way around the restriction that you may take only one prize.
So how is it done? Which prize do you take, or do you leave the choice for later?
Selection strategy Edit
The situation may disturb your strategy. Instead of taking the one prize that was there in vanilla, you may hesitate and leave all three prizes in their closets, to make the decision later. You may fear Random Number God, and believe that if you take, for example, the amulet of reflection, then you will soon find another amulet of reflection sitting in the dungeon.
However, before we proceed, we need to consider the possibility of damage to objects. In NetHack brass, objects (other than artifacts) that provide magic resistance or reflection can wear out from resisting or reflecting one time too many. So, finding a second amulet of reflection would actually be good, because you gain a replacement for if your current amulet disintegrates.
Instead of leaving the three prizes for later, the better strategy is to immediately take the one prize that you want the most and pretend that the other two prizes never existed. This is one of those cases where survival is better than long-term planning.
Choosing the cloak Edit
The cloak of magic resistance is probably the best prize, because magic resistance is so rare and valuable.
You may not want to take the cloak because you think that you will gain magic resistance some other way. Obviously a Wizard who already started with this cloak should not take another one. Also, some roles can gain magic resistance from carrying their Quest artifact around, these are exactly as in vanilla:
- Archeologist: the Orb of Detection
- Caveman: the Sceptre of Might
- Knight: the Magic Mirror of Merlin
- Monk: the Eyes of the Overworld
- Tourist: the Platinum Yendorian Express Card
- Wizard: the Eye of the Aethiopica
These five roles (not the Wizard) should mull whether they think that they can survive without magic resistance until they are able to defeat their Quest nemesis.
After you take the cloak, then in the distant future you may wish for a silver dragon scale mail (instead of a gray dragon scale mail) and gain reflection that way. (That is unless you fear that your cloak will disintegrate and you need a replacement. However, that is a decision for later, not now, not here in Sokoban!)
Choosing the amulet of reflection Edit
If you choose not to take the cloak, then you have a choice between the amulet of reflection and the bag of holding.
Reflection is a useful defense to have. It can deflect dangerous rays. If you still lack magic resistance, then reflection can even save you from the Gnome With The Wand Of Death.
Outside of Sokoban, reflection is probably easier to find than magic resistance, because in addition to checking random amulets, you might also encounter a polished silver shield. (Maybe someone should check the exact probabilities to verify or refute this.) The Perseus statue on Medusa's level has the same chance of a cursed polished silver shield as it would in vanilla NetHack.
Avoiding the bag Edit
When choosing the Sokoban prize, avoid taking the bag of holding! (That is unless you already scored both magic resistance and reflection.)
Yes the bag of holding is tempting, because weak characters with less strength often have troubles carrying the weight of their inventory around the dungeon. Without a bag of holding, you will often have to drop items because you cannot carry them all. However at least the cloak of magic resistance or the amulet of reflection would give you important defenses.
Note that you may find a bag of holding in the Gnomish Mines, or Minetown may sell you one. (Know that NetHack brass always fills Minetown with many shops.) Thus you better search for a bag of holding in some other location.
If you cannot locate a bag of holding outside of Sokoban, then save it for a wish. Exactly one bag of holding should last you the entire game, as long as you prevent it (and your stuff inside) from exploding.

Colleges and universities are no doubt watching the development of biometrics security with interest. Biometrics might be the remedy for a number of headaches for schools, such as authenticating exam-takers for online programs, dealing with students who frequently lose their campus ID cards, and thwarting professional thieves trying to rip off the bookstore.
Companies are coming out with new systems that scan fingerprints, a face, or an iris, or that match voices to a recorded database. Users don't need to remember a password or carry a piece of plastic, although some systems work through smartphones.
However, biometrics aren't foolproof, as NPR's All Tech Considered noted. Savvy fraudsters could trick a biometric system with a high-resolution photo of a face or a recording of someone's voice. If that happens, taking care of a hack becomes more difficult.
"Either a password or a biometric can be stolen," David Cowan of the Bessemer Venture Partners investment firm told NPR. "But only the password can be changed. Once your fingerprint is stolen, it's stolen forever, and you're stuck."
Some suggest biometrics might be helpful only with low-risk security, such as locking down mobile devices to keep snoopy roommates out.

Like everything else, your driver's license can also be misplaced, lost or stolen and you find yourself unable to drive. The first thing you must do when you don't find your license is to look for it in every possible place. It could be left in the car, in your bag or purse, or could have made its way to the laundry basket. If it is only misplaced, you can probably find it and spare yourself the extra effort and cost of replacing a lost driving license. In case you suspect that it is stolen, you must report to the police immediately.
The first and foremost requirement for replacing a lost driving license is the physical presence of the applicant in the state of California. Other states may allow a replacement online, through phone or snail mail too. You can visit the DMV office in person to get a new driving license. Your license must be valid at the time it got lost or stolen for you to be able to get a replacement. Other documents you will need to accompany are your identity proof, address proof, photographs, social security number etc. Make sure that the documents you provide are same as the documents provided last time during the original issue of the license. Those who are under 18 may also need to get the application signed by either both of their parents or legal guardians.
For replacing a lost driving license, the applicant has to visit the local DMV office and apply in person. If you are from the same state and possessed a valid driving license, you do not need to appear for the test again. After your application is accepted, an interim license will be provided that will be valid for 90 days. The replacement will reach at the address provided in your application hence it is important that it is your current address. If you are not in your own state when the license is lost, you can apply for a replacement online or through phone if your state allows it.
If possible, wait till you get home to apply for replacement. Visiting the DMV office in person makes things easier and transparent. You can also fill the application online if it suits you better.

The daily life of raising 4 wild and wonderful boys and one spunky and amazing daughter.

Baby Girl
We spent the day hanging out at home. We are having new cabinets done and the house was a MESS! The kids and I went to Lowe's and ran some errands. Half way through the day I decided that we would be going out for pizza! We bought cupcakes to take with us too. Sis was thrilled to go out...as were all her brothers.
Sis trying to show us "3" on her fingers.
Happy Birthday to Sis!!
On Sat. Sis and I are going on a special shopping day. We are going to go spend some time together and pick out her gift. On Sunday we will have cake....again and do a bit more celebrating. I'm so thrilled to have such a sweet and spirited little girl. Happy Birthday big 3!

Merry Christmas
I hope you have the Merriest Christmas. This picture was our Christmas card this year. It was taken at our favorite place on the Oregon coast this past summer. We love the beach!! This was one of the nicest days we have ever spent on the beach in Oregon. Warm weather and no wind. A dream come true. We walked for a couple miles and enjoyed each other's company. A perfect day.
My Christmas wish is that all of us take time to pray for those less fortunate. Really, that means the majority of the world. Let us not forget how rich we are. Let us share those riches for the good of all. I especially hope and pray that many more families will adopt children this year. The only thing an orphan wants for Christmas is to have a family. To be loved and cherished.

My Idea
In the past I wanted everyone to wait to eat it until after Christmas. You might think that is insane....Cam certainly did. The kids were good and wouldn't eat any candy off of the house...but the husband was another story. He would "sneak" bits of candy off and think I wouldn't notice...or that the kids wouldn't notice. Hah! Mr. P is a mini me and has eagle eyes that don't miss a thing...especially missing candy off the house he built and was patiently waiting to eat! Cam just couldn't resist a munch and he could not understand me making a big deal out of it. Well, that is one of those man vs. woman or husband vs. wife things that we could go round and round and debate and explain and in the end we would just look at each other in frustration. The whole Mars/Venus thing.

Gingerbread House
Everyone had a turn to spread the thick glue like frosting. Side Note: The Toy Story shirt Baby George is wearing has it's own story. He is obsessed with the shirt. He wears it constantly. And, when I finally peel it off of him to wash it....he cries and asks for it every two minutes. It's truly unbearable so I've taken to letting him wear it for 48 hours straight. Don't judge. The second you pull it out of the dryer and let him have it....total bliss.
Serious work spreading goo....I mean frosting.

All Choked Up
It reminded me of when I was little and we would go see my Uncle Larry perform in his Christmas program. Uncle Larry has Down Syndrome and lived in a group home. I can remember as a kid trying to hold back my tears as I watched Larry and the other residents sing Silent Night and do all of the sign language signs for it. Precious. I realized today that my wee ones were getting the same experience in Tuba's classroom. I was proud of my kids. They don't blink twice at seeing people with special needs. They know that Tuba is special and that he has an owie in his brain but that he is also just like the rest of us.
As I drove home I was all choked up with emotion. I had such a nice time. Those kids know exactly how to celebrate the love of Christ and His birth. With joy. Joy to the world!

Party Day
My Mom threw a party for me at her house. Thanks Mom!! It was fun to enjoy adult company for the night. The following night the kids took me out for Chinese food.
Here's Cam and I next to my Mom and Bill's tree. Wow! It's always gorgeous.
TMI?? I don't care. It's my blog and I LOVE this photo. I LOVE this man! I LOVED my birthday. Aren't we cute? Yes!

Gotta Love the Girls
But, in all the fast paced hoopla going on in my life I had the most amazing thing happen. On Sat. morning I was home in my nightgown when there was a knock at our door. I opened the door to find two girlfriends holding a latte for me. Wow! They handed me a craftily written poem telling me to pack my bags for an overnight trip to the city! Wowwwwwwy!
We stayed downtown in a beautiful hotel, had wine and appetizers (all loving packed by these great friends) in our room, went to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory (yum!), had fun at a martini bar and walked around the city and enjoyed the Christmas decorations. We stayed up way too late chatting. The next day we had lunch and then came home to husbands and kids who missed us! Nice!!! What a blessing these women are to me. Thanks you two!!!! Love you SO much.
Makin' a wish for the next year!

The Birthday.....Year!
Shopping Girl
Her next purchase was a pretty headband and then Grandma bought her some play shoes, boa and another headband. She was in heaven. The was thrilled to have two packages to carry.
Monday, November 29, 2010
Of course what holiday is complete without pie? NONE! I baked my heart out making two pumpkin, one mile-high apple pie and a big pan of dark chocolate brownies. Yummy!
Of course I was first in line to hold my new niece. Scrumtious I tell ya!!
We had such a nice time. It was a real winter wonderland with snow. Beautiful. The kids had a blast and we ate ourselves silly. I'm thankful for so much this year. The top of my list. Cam being done with school, Cam's new job, and Tuba's lack of seizures.

Format: e-book, paperback, audiobook
Format read: audiobook
Series: stand-alone
Rating: 18+ sexual content, language
Genre: Contempory Romance
Goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30291914-sweet-cheeks
Hollywood is all glitz and glam and people think that the lime light is where it's at. That is unless you are living in it. A young man goes to Hollywood to follow his dreams and in doing so, he had to leave behind his first love, Saylor.
I love the story because it's sweet (almost sweet enough to give you a cavity) but it's a struggle of learning whether or not to give someone who broke your heart a second chance. Hayes wants a second chance at the girl who got away and who he hasn't been able to let go. He is beyond romantic and will make you swoon (especially at the part of the story when he tries to win her over).
I am a huge fan of Sebastian York when he does audiobooks. At first, I had a hard time differentiating him from the characters that he's done over a few different audiobooks. But after the third book of his narration, I found that I like him very much. He has a very masculine, deep, raspy voice and I love it. It's very intoxicating. He gives the characters he's reading for a masculine feeling and who doesn't want a voice like that for a male lead in a romance novel.
The story does have a HEA and it is a very sweet story. There isn't a whole lot of drama (except for that Hollywood drama that you can't avoid) and the headlines certainly add for a juicy story. But Hayes and Saylor do what they need to do to make it work. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?
Rating: A
You can buy the book on Amazon , Barnes and Noble , Kobo, iBook

Kevin Kilbane has been filmed rapping
Vanilla Ice's 90s classic 'Ice Ice Baby' to a group of Ireland fans at Euro 2012.
The former Ireland international can be heard showing off his ice-cool delivery of the track during the video filmed in Gdansk, which lasts over a minute.
Kilbane is at the tournament with the BBC and has his audience entranced.
His only forgotten lyrics come towards the end when a fan has to chime in with '…no I just drove by' to help out.
The former Everton and Wigan Athletic winger even managed to put on an impressive faux-American accent for the rap, all but covering his Lancashire twang.
He wrote in a piece for the Daily Mail recently about just how impressed he has been with the Irish presence at the tournament.
'It has been a real eye-opener for me,' he wrote.
'From the moment I got on the plane in Copenhagen to be serenaded by dozens of lads, to arriving in Poznan old square on Saturday evening and just seeing and hearing and standing open-mouthed at the sheer numbers, it's been absolutely brilliant.'
The Irish team will be hoping that their fans can be in just as good voice as Kilbane for their remaining two group games where they will face Spain and Italy.

Rugby season has begun and this year Proactive Nutrition has been working alongside Sligo rugby club as their performance nutritionist.This is the first year the team has taken this dual approach of fitness paired with nutrition and I have been delighted to be involved and work alongside the coaches.
Initially I met with the coaches and we discussed the season ahead and some challenges that had been identified from the previous year. As the team's performance nutritionist my primary focus was to develop individualized nutrition plans to achieve each player's performance related goals. This began with nutrition preparation during preseason to get them to optimum fitness for the season. I met each player individually for a consultation. In this consultation they completed an in-depth health questionnaire and I took a number of measurements which included body fat percentage along with going through a one week food diary that they had kept previous to coming into me. Each of the players had different goals for their nutrition, as with any client, but each consultation was specifically geared around improving nutrition for achieving optimum fitness and energy requirement on the pitch. I then analyzed each diet plan through nutritional software and designed each player a tailor-made meal plan based around their specific requirements, their rugby training schedule and day to day activity levels.
The benefit of a tailor-made meal plan is that it is designed specifically around lifestyle factors, nutritional goals and your sport. Each player depending on their position would have very different nutritional requirements. Dietary analysis was a good tool as it gave each player a greater insight to the impact of certain food choices on their fitness level and recovery. Many players were interested to see their specific requirements for carbohydrates, proteins and fats along with whether their diet was balanced overall.
Most of the team were aware that nutrition is fundamentally important for peak performance on match day. However, many had questions on what to eat, how much to eat and when is the best time to eat for training sessions and in the lead up to games. The coaches and I had spoken about match day nutrition and how energy levels in the second half of games in previous seasons had posed a challenge, so a huge focus was put on match day nutrition. Nutrition for game day begins long before kick off so each player was given match day nutrition and hydration tips and also received a tailor-made game day nutrition outline. Although many people have different nutrition suggestions about what a rugby player should eat, the main nutrition goal is to maximize energy by making correct food choices and to ensure they are efficiently hydrated to sustain the length of the match.
It is evident already that the Sligo players's discipline to their nutrition plans and fitness is paying off on the pitch. Looking forward to a winning season ahead.

It can make them better than they were - better, stronger, faster.
Just like in TV's The Six Million Dollar Man, the visiting creator of a new wearable exoskeleton for high-performance athletes is using cutting-edge technology to push the human body to its furthest bounds.
Canadian sports scientist Joe Dolcetti, chief executive of LILA Movement Technology, unveiled his Exogen Exoskeleton at AUT University's Milennium Institute this morning before a group of elite trainers from New Zealand's rowing, weighlifting, yachting, netball and rugby sevens teams.
The suit, designed to apply muscle resistance while still allowing its wearer full movement of their body, is presently being trialed by some of the US' top sportspeople, including players from the NHL, NBA, NFL and pro-baseball league.
Demonstrating it ahead of its international launch in Las Vegas next month, Mr Dolcetti told the Herald he was keen to offer an exclusivity deal to the All Blacks ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup.
He and his team spent ten years developing the exoskeleton and trialing it with high performance athletes around the world.
In doing so, they created a training product capable of targeting specific muscles, movements and skills.
Among the suit's functions were light-weight resistance pads that could be applied to most any of the body's muscles or movements, adding loads ranging from 50 grams to 10 per cent of the wearer's body weight.
Mr Dolcetti said the suit's design allowed athletes to adjust the suit to meet the training requirements of their sport, while allowing their bodies full flexibility and movement.
His research had shown the training in the suit resulted in a 17 per cent improvement rate in power and speed after five weeks, a 10 per cent improvement in muscle recovery and a 12 per cent boost in energy expenditure and calorie burning.
Presently, AUT University's Sports Performance Research Institute of New Zealand (SPRINZ) is researching its effect on various aspects of performance.
The research sought to establish a body of empirical evidence for the benefits of training with the exoskeleton, and AUT's research team saw potential to improve training results through its use.
Mr Dolcetti said AUT University had been chosen as its first international research partner as it was recognised as one of the world's leading research centres for the study of human performance - specifically in the areas of strength, speed and power.
"Collaborating with a New Zealand team was also a draw card - home to a sports-mad and active population and New Zealand has something no other country in the world has - the All Blacks," he said.
"A lot of countries play sports but Kiwis live it. It just made sense."
Dr Adam Storey, of AUT University, said while the suit had just been unveiled, there had already been "a lot of interest" in it from New Zealand's high-performance sport sector.
The New Zealand Rugby Union did not immediately respond to requests for comment this afternoon.
*Dr Storey is seeking participants for a study to determine the effects of the Exogen vest on strength and power during Olympic weightlifting movements across a 5 week training period. People interested can phone him on 021 212 4200 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Her spokesperson has confirmed the news, and on Thursday Sam took to Twitter to thank her fans for "all your kind messages".
Crohn's Disease can lead to abdominal pain, ulcers and weight loss, and it's thought that petite Sam will now need to dramatically alter her diet — including adhering to a liquid-only diet for six weeks to reset her bowel.
"It's Sam's diet that will be most affected by the diagnosis," a source told the Daily Mirror. "She is suffering from lots of ulcers, so she needs to give them time to heal before she looks at the long-term effects of the diagnosis.
"At the moment, she is just trying to cope with the excruciating stomach cramps. That has been the most difficult thing. Now, she is working with her gastroenterologist to see if she can work around her illness.
"Sam won't let things hold her back, she dealing with it in the best way she can. She knows she can't change anything, but she can educate herself about the disease."
Sam posted this picture on Twitter alongside the caption "Just woke up..."
On Wednesday, Sam and her pregnant sisterBillie Faiers were pictured leaving a private hospital in Chelsea. Sam, who was wearing a T-shirt with the slogan 'Choose Life', locked arms with her supportive sibling, who recently announced that she was engaged to long-term boyfriend Greg Shepherd.
On Tuesday, the sisters were in high spirits as they went shopping for baby bits of Billie's child. Sam took to her Instagram account to share a picture of the duo with the caption, "Successful baby shop today."

DormCo.com Breaks Down Its Newest Selection of Dorm Room Rugs and Talks Rug Trends and Tips
DormCo explains its latest inventory of basic, designer and eco-friendly rugs.
Buffalo, NY, August 01, 2014 --(
)-- According to DormCo.com, the premier online vendor for college dorm supplies, the finishing touch to any dorm room is a rug. DormCo sells a variety of rugs in different, colors, patterns, textures and prices to suit almost any college student or style. From basic to designer, DormCo said its lineup of rugs is one of their most diverse product categories.
"We have more than 500 rug listings on our site," said Jeff Gawronski, owner of DormCo. "We truly have a color or design for everyone, no matter what their budget is."
Budget-friendly rugs fall under the Basic (Under $40) category on DormCo.com. Many of the most popular basic rugs feature solid colors and soft fabric, like the bestseller College Plush Rug. But not all basic rugs are devoid of pattern, according to Kerri Linsenbigler, a customer service representative at DormCo.
"There really isn't anything basic about these rugs," Linsenbigler said. "We have a bunch of cute chevron rugs, striped rugs and more intricate-patterned rugs for less than $40. We even have some for less than $30."
The next tier, Designer Rugs, retail for more than $40, and usually feature larger sizes and patterns. What is truly unique to DormCo, however, is its collection of Eco-Friendly college dorm rugs, Gawronski said. These rugs are made from recycled materials, like cotton and plastic, and they won't break the budget.
"The majority of our Eco-Friendly rugs are priced under $40," Gawronski explained. "You don't have to pay a fortune for earth-friendly dorm accessories."
Rug size depends on the rug, according to DormCo. Many of the rugs come in a variety of sizes, and there is the option to upgrade for an additional cost. When choosing a rug size, Linsenbigler recommended checking the dorm room's dimensions and talking with roommates or suitemates before purchasing.
"A larger rug, like a 4'x6' or 6'x9,' looks better in the center of a dorm room," Linsenbigler said. "So you would want to coordinate with your roommate so the color matches both of your bedding. A smaller rug, like a 3'x5,' is the perfect size for next to your bed or in front of a futon. That size is easy to mix and match with your own dorm décor since it won't creep in to your roommate's side of the dorm."
Whether it's basic, designer or eco-friendly, Gawronski and Linsenbigler agree a dorm rug is an essential dorm room accessory for college students. To browse DormCo's complete inventory of dorm rugs and other dorm products, please visit www.dormco.com. For more information, and to have any questions answered, please contact DormCo at email@example.com or 888-925-2899.
