Why Do We Keep Using A Process Modelling Technique?
Recker, Jan C. (2007) Why Do We Keep Using A Process Modelling Technique? In Toleman, Mark, Cater-Steel, Aileen, & Roberts, Dave (Eds.) 18th Australasian Conference on Information Systems, 5-7 December 2007, Toowoomba, Australia.
|PDF (169kB)
In line with the increased popularity of process modelling, a plethora of process modelling techniques has been proposed over time. Yet, only a few have been widely accepted by practitioner communities. This in turn leads to the question of the drivers of continued acceptance (continuance) of process modelling techniques. While researchers have extensively studied continuance and acceptance of information systems, to date, there appears to be no study that has investigated the issue of process modelling technique continuance. This paper addresses this gap by identifying from prior research theories that purport to explain the formation of an intention to continue using a process modelling technique and integrating them in a hybrid research model. We subject the theoretical model to an empirical test with process modellers. The resulting model provides an in-depth understanding of a process modeller's continuance decision.

As a customer I actually like that there are not only new themes on the front page. But as some already said they should setup guidelines for what kind of updates that should give an author the advantage of getting back on the first page.
Adding a brand new slider, e-commerce system or any major update/improvement like this is intresting for me as a buyer.
But adding 1 or 2 new page examples with completely irrelevant content (5 diffrent pricing tables for a personal blog theme) is not even something that I understand why they approve here on themeforest.
Bought a samsung galaxy s5 and a Iphone 5s just to play war.

What´s wrong with the one you have found yourself? Since you only want a wordpress theme with that kind of menu why dont go with the one you linked already?

I think it is pretty nice with a few options but calendars that is not even up to date, themes that nobody would even download for free and nice looking but non working themes are really sad to see.
I would really like to see a more detailed search filter where I could decide what I want to show.
such as uploaded before/after (sometimes I do find stuff that I want to buy but still end up buying the newest one since there is no use in even trying to find the old one when 4 months have past).
Price based search where I can write min and max budget etc..
I know that price is a bit silly since most items dont even cost 50 usd but it would still make it easier to sort out stuff..

I also want it to be safe.
Down to and including 11.50 seconds E.T. in the quarter mile (about 7.37 in the eighth mile), a racer can run with a stock lap belt/shoulder belt system and any kind of OEM or aftermarket seat, bench or bucket, that is secured to the car. This assumes that the racer has enough sense not to use an unreinforced plastic/poly kitchen chair.
At 11.49, the racer must install a minimum 1 3/4" diameter, minimum 5-point rollbar (not to be confused with rollcage, which becomes necessary at 9.99 and can use smaller 1 5/8" tubing). He can still use any OEM or aftermarket seat that he wants to, as long as it is properly secured to the car. At 11.49 and quicker, the racer must install an SFI-approved 16.1 seat/shoulder/crotch belt arrangement. If the racer uses a stock OEM seat, the crotch belt may be routed around the front of the seat. If using an aftermarket seat, the belt must come up through the seat bottom in the vacinity of the driver's gonads. In either event,
the belt must be anchored behind the center of the driver's chestline.
I have gigged several thousand racers for this violation, anchoring the crotch belt out if front of the seat where it will do absolutely no good from a protection standpoint. When installing the belts, driver should sit in the seat and mark a place directly under the driver's gonads as the anchor point for the crotch strap.
o not install the crotch strap any further forward than this point.
If you are anchoring the crotch belt through sheet metal, install a large (like 3" diameter), thick flat washer on the bottom of the floor to prevent the connection from pulling through the sheet metal. If the tech inspector is worth a damn, he will be looking for this large flat washer.
Reading through this wiki tutorial that I wrote several years ago will help you to understand the geometry involved.....
Scroll down here to Section 20, page 18, where the section 4:10, Rollbar begins and read through the section thoroughly. Some of the verbage may have changed between the time I wrote the wiki article and this 2012 NHRA Rulebook link......
Here's an 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile E.T. conversion that may help some.....

While I do everything possible to ensure that my patterns contain no errors, sometimes they manage to sneak past me and my tech editor. Corrections for those errors can be found below.
Version 1 of this pattern (versions downloaded prior to October 28, 2014) had a mistake in Round 6 of the crown decrease section. This round should read:
Rnd 6: [P1, k1, s2kp2, k1] around. 40 sts remain.
This correction has been made in version 2 of the pattern.
Version 1 of this pattern (versions downloaded prior to August 3, 2015) had a mistake in Row 1 (Decrease row) of the second section of the Raglan Shaping. This row should read:
Row 1 (Decrease row): *K1, k2tog, k to 3 sts before m, ssk, k1, sm, k to Lace Panel, work Lace Panel sts, k to m, sm. Rep from * once more, then k1, k2tog, k to last 3 sts, ssk, k1. 6 sts decreased.
The "k2tog" in bold text was originally missing. This correction has been made in version 1.1 of the pattern.
January 16th, 2014: One correction for the Raglan Shaping section (page 5 of pdf): the needle size listed for the Set-Up Round should be Size A, not Size B
Where the pattern reads:
Rep Chart A, Chart B and Stripe Section 2 three times for a total of four times.
This incorrectly omits Stripe Section 1, and so it should read:
Rep Chart A, Stripe Section 1, Chart B, and Stripe Section 2 three times for a total of four times.

Dear visitor,
Short and to the point. Switching to us will make you smile, I am sure.
This is what we offer: One month loans, re-payable in total at your next salary
date.R500 to R1000 on your first loan. More than R1000 for those we know (affordability dependant). EFT loaned amount into your bank account.
If this is for you:We offer a very-very low repayment rate on loans R1000 and more applied for on
this website. Go on, apply and see what we offer. We are not aware of anyone even coming close to
what we offer.
The difference is very significant. The difference is more airtime,
tea and scones with your friends, enough petrol in the car to take you somewhere and back again.
The difference is huge. Say you are a regular and borrow R3000 at another establishment. Say you switch to us.
No more in store visits. Potential R150 even a R500 saving, every month. Now lets see what can be done with
R150 or R500. Now smile.
Basically you will need your own
bank account, e-mail address cell phone and be
permanently employed. We will however,
like at any other financial institution, take your credit history
and financial capacity into consideration before approval.
Sincerely yours,
The Paydayloans Management

Football Head Coach Sean Kugler Hires Offensive and Defensive Coordinators
Jan. 8, 2013
EL PASO – New UTEP football head coach, Sean Kugler, announces the hiring of Patrick Higgins and Jeff Choate to lead the Miners' offensive and defensive units, respectively on Wednesday.
Patrick Higgins, Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach
Patrick Higgins, who was a member of the UTEP football staff from 1998-2003 under Charlie Bailey and Gary Nord, has returned to the Sun City as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for new head coach Sean Kugler.
He has coached in nine bowl games – 2000 Humanitarian Bowl, 2005-2009 Las Vegas Bowl, 2010 New Mexico Bowl, 2011 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl and 2013 Heart of Dallas Bowl. He has also coached 15 players who have signed NFL contracts.
"I had the opportunity to work with coach Higgins here at UTEP," Kugler said. "I have known him for a long time. I can't think of a more detailed, organized coach to be our offensive coordinator. He has had a lot of great experience even since he's left UTEP, having been at Louisiana Tech, BYU and Purdue. He has been a head coach, a coordinator and a special teams coordinator. I have seen his work ethic up close and I'm excited to have him on board. He will do a great job."
Most recently Higgins spent two seasons at Purdue (2011-12), coaching the wide receivers and acting as the Boilermakers' interim head coach for the Heart of Dallas Bowl.
He was also Purdue's interim offensive coordinator for the final three games of the 2012 regular season with Nord sidelined due to a back injury.
Antavian Edison and Gary Bush combined to account for 15 of Purdue's 30 touchdown receptions in 2012. Edison earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors. O.J. Ross ranked third in the league in receptions per game (5.1), and Edison was fifth (4.5).
In 2011, Justin Siller led the Boilermakers with 50 catches, and Edison had a team-high 584 receiving yards. Purdue capped the seven-win campaign with a 37-32 win over Western Michigan in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
Higgins served as the outside receivers coach and special teams coordinator at BYU from 2005-10. The Cougars posted a 56-21 during that time with six bowl appearances, four bowl wins and two outright Mountain West Conference titles.
In 2005, BYU ranked sixth nationally in passing offense (310.1 ypg), 13th in total offense (462.4 ypg) and 24th in scoring offense (33.0 ppg). In 2006, the Cougars finished 11-2 overall and 8-0 in the Mountain West Conference, rating fourth in the country in passing offense (323.5 ypg) and total offense (465.5 ypg) and fifth in scoring offense (36.8 ppg). BYU was also 11-2 (8-0 MWC) in 2007, ranking 14th in the FBS in passing offense (298.4 ypg) and 25th in total offense (442.8 ypg).
The Cougars put together a 10-3 campaign in 2008, averaging 310.4 yards passing (sixth in the nation), 444.8 yards of offense (16th) and 34.2 points (20th). Austin Collie led the country in receiving that year with 118.3 yards per game, and also rated 12th in kickoff returns (27.5 avg.). He is BYU's all-time leading receiver (3,255 yards), earned All-America honors as a junior and currently plays for the Indianapolis Colts. BYU was 11-2 in 2009 behind another dominant offense that averaged 35.5 ppg (11th in the FBS), 281.5 yards passing (17th) and 427.2 yards of offense (21st).
BYU led the nation in third-down conversion percentage in 2009 (.556), finished second in 2008 (.557) and 2006 (.560), and ranked no lower than 21st among all FBS teams in the category during Higgins' six seasons. BYU was also ninth in the nation in kickoff returns in 2008 (24.6 avg.), and 20th in punt returns in 2006 (12.9 avg.). The Cougars were 17th in kickoff returns in 2007 (23.8 avg.).
Higgins spent the 2004 season at Louisiana Tech, where he was tight ends coach and special teams coordinator.
With Higgins as offensive coordinator, UTEP scored 30-plus points 16 times and 40 or more on eight occasions in a four-year span (2000-03). The 2000 Miners won the WAC title and ranked 22nd nationally in scoring offense (32.3 ppg), 27th in passing offense (248.2 ypg) and 36th in total offense (407.5 ypg). Quarterback Rocky Perez was eighth in the nation in passing efficiency (147.14), and Lee Mays was eighth in receiving (99.8 ypg). Brian Natkin was a unanimous All-America choice after leading all tight ends nationally with 64 catches for 787 yards. Natkin is currently a member of the UTEP staff.
Higgins previously was the Miners' wide receivers coach in 1998 and 1999. He worked with 22 All-WAC performers during his first stint in El Paso.
A native of Pendleton, N.Y., Higgins came to UTEP from Columbia University in New York City, where he had worked as running backs coach in 1997.
From 1994-96, Higgins was the offensive coordinator and special teams coach at Shepherd College, an NCAA Division II institution in Shepherdstown, W. Va. He was also responsible for coaching the Rams' quarterbacks and receivers. In 1994 and 1996 the Rams finished among the top-16 teams in the country in total offense.
Higgins has also seen duty as a head coach at St. Andrews Prep in Savannah, Ga. in 1993. He also coached college ball at St. Cloud State in St. Cloud, Minn. (wide receivers 1988), Quincy University in Quincy, Ill. (offensive coordinator 1990, defensive coordinator 1991) and William Penn College in Oskaloosa, Iowa (head coach 1992).
He earned his bachelor's degree in Chemistry, with a minor in Biology, from William Penn College in 1986. He received his master's degree in Exercise Physiology from St. Cloud State in 1989.
His wife's name is Karen.
Jeff Choate, Defensive Coordinator
Jeff Choate has coached in six bowl games -- the 2007 & 2010 Fiesta Bowl, 2007 Hawai'i Bowl, 2008 Poinsettia Bowl, and 2010 & 2011 Las Vegas Bowl.
"Coach Choate is the epitome of an energizer bunny," Kugler said. "His motor runs full 24/7. I had the opportunity to work with him at Boise State. He has worked on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. He was probably the top special teams coach in the country when he was at Boise State. He is one of the best recruiters you'll ever be around. He got the Texas pipeline started at Boise State. I'm excited about the unmatched energy he's going to bring on a daily basis to our program."
Choate comes to El Paso after spending the 2012 campaign as linebackers coach at Washington State. He coached three players to honorable mention All-Pac 12 honors – senior Travis Long, sophomore Cyrus Coen and freshman Darryl Monroe. The Cougars were eighth in the nation in tackles for losses (7.7 avg.) and 11th in sacks (2.9 avg.) last season.
Choate was on the Boise State staff for the previous six seasons, coaching the running backs (2006-08), linebackers (2009) and nickel backs (2010-11), while also serving as special teams coach all six years.
As running backs coach, he was instrumental in the development of Ian Johnson, who became both the Boise State and Western Athletic Conference all-time leader with 58 rushing touchdowns. Johnson ran for 4,183 yards in a Bronco uniform – second in school history – and led the NCAA in rushing touchdowns (25) and scoring (152 points) in 2006. He established a school single-season standard with 1,714 rushing yards that year.
Choate's linebackers played a major role in Boise State rating no. 14 nationally in both total defense (300.2 ypg) and scoring defense (17.1 ppg) in 2009. The Broncos led the WAC in six defensive statistical categories – passing efficiency defense, total defense, scoring defense, pass defense, tackles for losses and sacks allowed.
In 2010, Choate worked with first team All-WAC honoree Winston Venable as the Broncos rated second in the FBS in scoring defense (12.8 ppg) and total defense (254.7 ypg).
Among Choate's special teams protégés was Kyle Brotzman, the highest-scoring kicker in NCAA history (439 points) and the Broncos' career leader in punting average (44.6). In 2008, Choate coached Kyle Wilson, who led the country in punt return touchdowns (three) and ranked 12th in punt return average (14.2). Boise State's 2009 special teams unit was rated no. 1 in the nation by Phil Steele led by Titus Young, who returned two kickoff returns for touchdowns to garner first team All-WAC honors. Young averaged 26.9 yards on kickoff returns that season to rate 20th in the nation.
Boise State ranked in the top-25 nationally in kickoff returns in 2007 (10th, 24.7 avg.), 2009 (fourth, 26.6 avg.) and 2010 (23rd, 23.6 avg.), and in the top-25 in punt returns in 2007 (22nd, 12.3 avg.), 2008 (20th, 12.3 avg.), 2010 (16th, 12.7 avg.) and 2011 (18th, 11.9 avg.). The Broncos were rated as high as 12th in the FBS in kickoff return coverage in 2009, and 14th in punt return coverage in 2008.
Choate had previous collegiate coaching stops at Utah State (2003-04) and Eastern Illinois (2005), serving as the special teams coach at both institutions. He began his college coaching career as a graduate assistant at Utah State, working with the defensive line and the safeties.
From 1997-2001 Choate was the head coach at Post Falls (Idaho) High School and also served as athletic director the final two years. Post Falls advanced to the state playoffs in both 1998 and 1999. Before coaching at Post Falls, Choate was the defensive coordinator at Twin Falls (Idaho) High School in 1996 and was the head coach at Challis (Idaho) High School from 1994-95. He earned District Six Coach of the Year honors after Challis registered its first winning season in 10 years and made the playoffs for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Choate is a 1993 graduate of Montana-Western, where he served two seasons as an assistant coach while completing his degree. He played linebacker at Montana-Western.
He and his wife, Janet, have a son, Jory, and a daughter, Jacy.

TDK Semiconductor becomes Teridian Semiconductor
A leading provider of mixed-signal integrated circuits, TDK Semiconductor Corp., recently announced that it has changed its name to Teridian Semiconductor Corp. , effective immediately. The company was acquired from TDK-USA (subsidiary of Japan-based TDK Corp.) by Golden Gate Capital , in partnership with the U.S.-based semiconductor management team.
'The company's new name, Teridian Semiconductor Corporation represents an important step in our evolution as a leading mixed-signal device company. We believe the timing of the re-branding is especially important as we launch a number of new products in the residential and industrial meter, smart card reader, Ethernet, and WAN markets,' says Gerald Fitch, president and CEO of Teridian Semiconductor.
Teridian Semiconductor is an Irvine, CA-based fabless semiconductor company that designs and develops advanced analog and mixed-signal ICs. The company is reportedly working with customers to facilitate a seamless name change transition. Golden Gate Capital is a San Francisco-based private equity investment firm with approximately $2.5 billion of capital under management.

"Making it Real" will address tasks as varied as controlling epileptic fits, making robots walk like humans and understanding why things rattle.
Professor John Hogan, leading the project, said: "This funding is a huge endorsement of our approach to applying mathematics to practical problems.
The four-year project will employ research assistants and post graduates.
The challenges will be addressed using a new form of mathematics to be developed by researchers based in the Bristol Centre for Applied Nonlinear Mathematics.
"(The grant)will allow us to attract the world's top researchers in the field to come and work with us in Bristol on some very challenging real-world problems," said Professor Hogan.

Kit: 10 Items for Every Glovebox
Like a shoebox filled with letters from your old girlfriend (you don't still have that, do you?), no one wants to open your car's glove compartment. What on earth could be in there -- a non-functioning drugstore flashlight, insurance cards from 2009, a Spandau Ballet CD, perhaps some ketchup packets? Good god. We don't even know you. Clean out your filthy glovebox, ditch the garbage and start stocking it with these ten essentials.

From Chuckie Keeton to Joe Hill and Hunter Sharp, the Aggies' offense had a strong showing in the first scrimmage of the year Tuesday.
Keeton finished 16-of-22 for 180 yards with two touchdowns while backup Darell Garretson as 14-of-25 for 122 yards and a touchdown.
Hunter Sharp, from Antelope Valley JC, led the receivers with five receptions for 90 yards while JoJo Natson had four catches for 36 yards. Hill rushed 13 times for 67 yards and a touchdown.
Utah State coach Matt Wells was happy with the team's performance, especially with Keeton.
"Chuckie was really accurate and got off to a fast start," he said. "I'm proud of how the No. 1 defense played in the red zone."<

text: I have a 99 Deville. Everytime i drive this car, I find something new. I did some searches and found my sway bar thing might be loose. But that's not my problem. I'm in NYC and recently it snowed. Snows gone but it left me with some problems. My traction control is overly precautious now. I had a traction control light. I cleared it, never came back. After that though, every time I leave a light, my traction control engages for a couple seconds. Pisses me off. And on top of that, everytime I'm at idle or turn off the car, I hear bubbles coming from under the dash, probably from heater coil. I checked though and the coil isn't leaking. I got air in the coolant system somehow. I did the headgasket leaking check when you take off the coolant cap and check for bubbles. No bubbles. I think I may have a leak somewhere though because I had to add coolant 2 weeks ago. How do I get these bubbles out of my coolant system. It sounds like an aquarium.

Speeches, including one from a wounded veteran of the war in Aghanistan, singing of the National Anthem by Princeton High School choir members and a color guard presentation were part of Princeton High School's observance last Friday of the Nov. 11 Veterans Day.
A group of active-duty U.S. army personnel and veterans, mostly from the Cambridge-Isanti area, were the main participants.
Army Sgt. Brian Webb, from the army recruiting center in Cambridge, read a poem called "Soldier," following it with the statement: "Remember as we go forth today, our soldiers, now and in the future, are soldiers for life. They are strong and resilient, creative and determined. I am confident this generation of soldiers we are recruiting will join the remarkable generations of men and women who wore this uniform and left an enduring mark on this nation.
"The army is the strength of the nation and our soldiers are the strength of the army. The future soldiers who will stand with us in the formation will carry on the same traditions."
Webb then thanked veterans for their "hard work, dedication and the great job you do or have done."
Dan Grotte, past commander of the Isanti VFW post, mentioned the formation of the five branches of the U.S. military, with the army being the first. But while they are all different, their members, as a whole, are military, he said, adding: "We fight together, play together and love together."
Grotte, who served 22 years in the army, was in duty stations across the globe and served as a military sniper, called military personnel a close-knit group. They are "like brothers and sisters," sometimes fighting among themselves, but who have a "heartfelt need to be together" and remain "military for life," Grotte said.
Military members will continue to serve beyond their time in the service, such as in veterans organizations and volunteering, he added.
Army Capt. Thomas Billig's speech delved into why people serve in the military. He began by noting that he was an Army Ranger stationed at Ft. Benning, Ga., when the terrorist attacks on the U.S. occurred on Sept. 11, 2011. He said that he and about a dozen other Rangers took in the news while crowded around a tiny portable TV in a wilderness area where the Rangers were training. He remembers watching as the second plane crashed into the second Twin Trade Tower in New York City.
The thought that he and his fellow army Rangers were going to war and put their military skills into action, was "exciting," he said. But that was slowly replaced, he continued, by the reality that "silently crept in," the fact that he was about to "embark on the most dangerous and uncertain period of my life."
Billig said he had joined the army for selfish reasons, in that he had run out of money and couldn't continue college and didn't like being a line cook for a living. "I didn't realize then that the army would bring meaning to my life in the way that it did," he said.
Billig ended up serving four times in Afghanistan, and completed more than 200 combat missions, during which he was in more than 100 firefights, he said, "in some of the worst places in Afghanistan…" He said he was wounded three times in combat and received valorous awards for his action, but also lost many friends and soldiers.
"Some say the wounds that cut the deepest are the ones you cannot see," he said.
As Billig talked about why soldiers serve, he said that "individual achievement was not the cornerstone of this profession." Leaders, he explained, stress teamwork and cooperation, and that it those qualities that are necessary in an organization.
Delving further into the reasons for serving in the military, Billig said: "If you were to ask any veteran one reason why they serve, he or she would tell you that they serve because of the soldier to the right or left… They serve because they want to be amongst the most honorable people they have ever met. It is the people in this profession that keeps us in this uniform.
"And through this camaraderie, service members realize they are part of something much greater than themselves. Through this realization and the bonds forged during difficult training and combat, soldiers are proud to be serving a higher purpose.
"They are proud to wear this uniform which demonstrates a commitment to excellence and a commitment to the nation. It demonstrates a commitment to protect freedom, our way of life, and our fellow citizens. It takes a profound strength to wear this nation's uniform.
"Though one day we remove this uniform, no amount of time, nor strife can sever the golden thread uniting veterans in a unique and everlasting bond."
Billig later stated that soldiers and veterans don't see themselves as being brave or special. "We just say that we are doing our jobs," he explained.
But veterans do appreciate the simple recognition of their service, he said, urging his audience to thank a veteran or soldier in uniform.
PHS Principal Pete Olson, who was a school band director earlier in his career, played "Taps" on trumpet during the closing of the ceremony.

You've Got Questions...I've Got Answers
Tuesday, April 24, 2012Filed under: all about me, Filed under: baby gear
2. Where does Caroline sleep at night? Thanks to Mimi, she sleeps in a bassinet right next to our bed. We knew we wanted her in our room for the first few weeks {possibly even months} just for peace of mind, and to make it easier for middle of the night feedings and such. We got the Kolcraft Bassinet with sounds, vibration, and it has an incline so she isnt sleeping flat on her back, which helps with reflux and such. We absolutely love it! Even better, it's got room storage underneath it as well. CC has yet to sleep in her pack n play since it's a little too large so this has been a necessity!
3. How are you keeping up with your normal routine right after having the baby? Maybe I should do a "day in the life" post soon to show you just how I feel like I am barely treading water. There is the good, the bad, and the ugly and I assure you each day has an assortment of all three... basically, I am just trying to stay as positive as possible and tell myself that this initial newborn stage will be difficult, but she's only this little once and I need to savor every moment.
4. What have been the items you have used most with Caroline so far? As far as newborn necessities, I am definitely going to voice my opinion, as I think it's helpful to "pay it forward" to other mommies out there. I was given lots of advice and I know it's been so beneficial, because the world of babies is just way too overwhelming.
Aden + Anais Muslin Blankets: hands down, the best there is. They are lightweight, comfy, easy to swaddle little bit, breathable, and have the cutest designs. I want 10 more of these!
Aden + Anais Burpy Bibs: a bib plus burplcloth in one...same great absorbent material as the blankets...these are the favorite in our house!
A&D Ointment: when CC gets redness on her bottom from one too many "wet" diapers, I apply this to her wrinkled little tushy and she seems to get some relief ASAP.
Soothie Pacifiers: I know they say some babies aren't picky about pacifiers, but Caroline is quite the little diva and will only take a soothie made by Avent. Lucky for us, these are the same pacis that are used in Wubbanubs, which make the thought of using a pacifier a little more appealing.
Cloud B Sleep Sheep: we love the different sounds on this handy dandy stuffed animal and we use it everynight to calm Caroline to sleep after she feeds. Now I can see why so many people use noise machines to help them sleep!
My Breast Friend Feeding Pillow: I wouldn't have had this to use if it wasn't for my good friend Amber. She brought it over to me to borrow and I haven't put it down since. This is WAY better to use for breastfeeding rather than the Boppy, as it straps on to you and is more "snug" during feeding time. It also has a little storage pocket, perfect for mini lotion, lanolin cream, and emory boards so I can file CC's nails when she is "occupied".
Green Grass Drying Rack: this is the perfect rack for drying multiple bottles and such all at the same time, not to mention it will accomodate all brands...it also adds a fun pop of color to the kitchen counter, too- quite the conversation piece I assure you ;)
Medela Pump in Style Breastpump/Bottles: Another alert of a must-have if you plan on feeding a la boob...thanks Amber, I owe you one for this, as well. This boob tube pumper makes it SO much easier to pump, and faster, too. Not going to lie...this is one of the least glamorous parts about being a mom, but nutirition wise, momma's milk can't be beat.
Carter's Sleep and Plays: Caroline has lived in these onesies since the day she came home from the hospital. They come with either zippers OR snaps, and they are the absolute best and most comfortable clothing for everyday wear. Plus, they are way easier when it comes to diaper changes which seem to occur way too often.
I'm sure there will be tons more products I rant and rave about in the future, but these are ones that stood out to me from day one, and have made life way more pleasant.
5. How tall are you? I'm 5'4", but almost 5'5" on a good day ;)
6. What's the best piece of advice you have been given? For me, it's something my grandmother has enstilled in me for as long as I can remember...it's all about knowing that I am not in control and that I should talk to God each and everyday and put my complete trust in Him. He listens no matter what-when I am happy, when I am sad, and I know that as long as I have Him on my side, I can tackle anything life throws at me. Having a relationship with God has transformed my life and I have my grandmother to thank for that.
7. What is your most prized possession? I know we shouldn't get wrapped up in possessions and physical things, but the one item that means the most to me is my wedding ring. It signifies a once in a lifetime love, a commitment to put my marriage above all other, and whenever I look at it, I know that I have someone that loves me unconditionally, forever and always.
If you've got other questions for me, feel free to send them my way!

And yes, please do a "day in the life"! Us soon to be moms are curious as to what are life will become in a few short weeks! :) Those must-have items are fabulous too, I'll take all the advice I can get! :)
awww on the ring!ReplyDelete
I love Q&A's and re: the ring that's exactly how I feel about a wedding ring, hence why it's so important to me. Thanks for putting into words exactly how I think/feel. :)ReplyDelete
I've been wrapping myself with a tight ace bandage and it makes all the difference. I think it helps to have extra support while your muscles are still figuring out what to do again.ReplyDelete
Love this!! Getting all the tips I can before Millie gets here.ReplyDelete
Would love to read a "Day in the Life" Story of having a new born. As a gal who doesn't have kids, I would love to know what to expect if I decide to have a lil one!ReplyDelete
Such a sweet post - the last two answers are so adorable, and I agree totally!ReplyDelete
I definitely think you should do "A Day in the Life" post! I'm getting ready to have baby number 3 and would find it quite fun to read :)ReplyDelete
This was a great post! I hope you are able to do the "day in the life" post. I think it would be really neat to read!ReplyDelete

RE: How to tell Mathematica to stop conditional testing in an If statment if one condition is niether True or False? McCarthy evaluation rules? 'and then' test?
What about a more specific test?
xc = Table[i, {i, 1, 3}];
x = 5;
If[x === b && xc[[10]] == 4, Print["True"], Print["False"], Print["Can't
If[NumericQ[b] && x == b && xc[[10]] == 4, Print["True"], Print["False"],
David Park
djmp at earthlink.net
From: Nasser Abbasi [mailto:nma at 12000.org]
To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
I can better describe this with simple example:
------------- code ------------
xc = Table[i, {i, 1, 3}]
x = 5;
If[x == b && xc[[10]] == 4, Print["True"], Print["False"], Print["Can't
----- end code -------------
In the above, 'x==b' is neither True nor False, since 'b' has no numerical
But what I want is when this happens, for Mathematica to NOT continue with
the testing if xc[[10]]==4 is True (because even if it is True, it will
not change the outcome, which is can't decide.
I am looking for something like 'and then' which says to test the next
condition only if the one just tested was true.
The interesting thing is that if 'b' had a value, say 7, which makes the
first test (the x==b) to be False, then Mathematica does the right thing,
and will not try to check the xc[[10]]==4 condition. I need it to do the
same thing when also the result of the check is 'undecided', not just
'False' or 'True'.
Is there a way to do this? Notice in the example above, I get the error
that xc[[10]] is out of bound, but still get the can't decide message.
It is clear to me that the way Mathematica does it now is not the right way.
I do not see why it tries to check for xc[[10]]==4 when it will not make a
difference to the final result.
any thoughts?

ROAD safety measures are set to be introduced near Heron Hill Primary School after parents slammed the 'dangerous' new position of a crossing patrol.
For years the lollipop lady serving the school stood at the Heron Hill Spar, on the corner of Esthwaite Avenue, but she was recently moved by Cumbria and its contractor Orian after the crossing was deemed 'unsafe'.
Parents said the new spot on Hayfell Avenue meant most children and parents had 'crossed the most dangerous part' before getting to her.
Lyndsey Goodyear, who has a son in Year One at the school, said: "We realise that the school patrol employer must also be safe, but we feel her position is not using her role efficiently and our children's safety is being compromised."
- PROPERTY: Downstream, Old Hutton, on market with Milne Moser for £395,000
- PROPERTY: Radio 2's Jo Whiley shares secrets of her festival-style home
- 70-year-old man missing from Kendal
- Man arrested on suspicion of murder after Kendal house fire will face no further action, police confirm
School crossing patrol Janet Beaty said there were plans to move her further down Hayfell Avenue so more children would reach her before having to cross at the Spar.
Ms Goodyear said this would be 'better' but added: "The best places would be outside the Spar or outside the school itself."
A spokesman for the county souncil said: "Following a review of the school crossing on Heron Hill, it has been temporarily relocated a short distance while a full assessment is undertaken to determine the most suitable position for the crossing."
He went on to say the council was looking to introduce 'appropriate' safety measures in the area, which were likely to include new signs, flashing lights, road mar-kings and an advisory 20mph speed limit.
l Children at another Kendal school have joined their local county councillor in launching an appeal to find a new lollipop person to help them cross the road.
Pupils at Ghyllside Primary School and Coun Geoff Cook are appealing for help from anyone who may have time to spare to help them cross the road safely.

They say you should never take a holiday in the same place twice, but the Yarde Orchard Bunkhouse on the Tarka Cycle Trail in north Devon made such an impression on me that I found myself staying there twice this year.
We cycled the Tarka Trail in summer last year while staying with friends and loved it. Following the old railway line between Braunton and Meeth, the 30-mile trail is traffic-free and surfaced for cyclists and walkers. My sons - Hugo, five, and Louis, nine - are both keen cyclists and they soared happily along.
During that trip we made it as far as East Yarde, where I chatted with David Job, the owner of the Yarde Orchard Cafe. I inquired about the timber building he was constructing at the bottom of his vegetable garden, which turned out to be an eco-friendly bunkhouse with solar-heated water, a wood-burning range and a reed-bed system to deal naturally with water waste. It was not due to open until 2008 and, as this was to be the only accommodation right on the trail, we promised to come back.
So this Easter we returned for my first stay at East Yarde. The children's bikes had been locked up since Santa dragged them down the chimney and it was time to blow off the cobwebs.
Although the area is easily accessible by train, I wimped out and drove, nervous of unpredictable weather. We arrived seven hours later, after several car-sickness stops and the inevitable halts to adjust the bike carrier. The ever-affable David greeted us like old friends. We had the whole building to ourselves, which was a luxury. The wood-burning range was packed with sweet-smelling apple wood, the hand-made bunkbeds awaited the test of boys' bouncing and appetites were soon revived for David's home-made pizzas from the cafe.
This is clean, simple hostel accommodation with two dormitories, a small practical kitchen and a family bedroom. We had a great first night's sleep, waking up early to add logs to the range, the only heat source in the hostel, which was still awaiting radiators. It didn't matter in the slightest - donning extra cardies, we were perfectly cosy. Our bedrooms looked out on to the wooded banks of the trail which, even though it is part of the National Cycle Network's Coast-to-Coast route from Plymouth to Ilfracombe, is relatively quiet. This 30-mile off-road section is a bit too lightweight for serious Lycra-clad cyclists, so it is perfect for families, either walking or cycling.
The trail follows the River Torridge, the fictional birthplace of Henry Williamson's Tarka the Otter. Living in London, it was a delightful relief to watch my own little otters take off at speed, with a sense of freedom they never get in the city. The route was lined with wild primroses and narcissi, as well as an eclectic collection of sculptures and, depending on which bits you tackle, it is sided either by woodland or the sandy shores of the Torridge estuary.
From a practical point of view this holiday is superb. No battles with bike racks before heading off every day, no picnic preparations - just get up, make breakfast, jump on the bikes and go. In the mornings, the children went up and down the trail immediately outside the bunkhouse or played in its landscaped hilly garden as we sipped a second cappuccino from the cafe.
David's cafe is brimming with good homemade food, all locally produced. The bunkhouse is at one of the highest points on the trail, and one incentive to get back up the long, gently sloping hill after an early-morning cycle to Torrington was the promise of the Yarde's Cyclist's Breakfast: Cornish smoked bacon, local sausages, free-range eggs and organic baked beans.
For other supplies, the thriving market town of Great Torrington is accessible by bike, car or bus. There seemed to be two of everything there: two greengrocers, two butchers and two bakers. The Green Lantern on the town square, a bakery with a cafe, is a must. I felt as if I had stepped into a Hovis advert, with racks of iced buns, scones and enormous warm squidgy loaves being emptied from their baking tins on to the shelves.
We couldn't leave Devon without one trip to the beach, and riding 12 miles along the trail took us to Instow, a small town on the sandy banks of the estuary where the rivers Taw and Torridge meet, which is ideal for paddling. It may sound like a long way, but it's amazing how many miles you cover on these mainly flat surfaces without even realising. The children couldn't believe it at bedtime when I told them they had cycled 24 miles that day.
Yarde Orchard is not only a welcoming place to stay, it is also great value, in a superb location and as friendly as it is eco. So a couple of months later, when a girlfriend and I decided we needed a mid-week break - no work, no kids, no hassle - I knew exactly where to head; this time by train. We took the 9.04 from Paddington to Exeter, changed onto the Tarka Line train to Barnstaple and walked straight into Tarka Trail Cycle Hire, conveniently located on the station platform just metres from the trail.
Equipped with shiny new bikes, Laura and I took a gentle three-hour ride along the trail, arriving through Yarde Orchard's gates in time for afternoon tea, after a couple of stops for snacks and shandies at some of the converted railway stations along the way. The primroses had been swapped for wild orchids, the narcissi for an abundance of aromatic wild garlic and the fields were full of lambs, foals and calves.
I wasn't sure whether the cafe would still be open when we got there, so I had pre-ordered a Devon hamper from Red Earth Kitchen. Arriving to home-made beef and mushroom stew, new potatoes and hot chocolate pudding made the 18-mile cycle seem worthwhile.
After a great night's sleep in the tranquillity of this rural idyll, with the apple trees now in full blossom, we awoke refreshed and ready to cycle all the way back. It was raining, however, so we were able to postpone our departure and enjoy David's coffee and chat for a bit longer. We finally hit the trail again and, after a few hours more cycling we caught our 5pm train to London. I slept all the way back, exhausted, relaxed and already planning my Yarde Orchard hat-trick. I have been spoilt until now by always having the place to myself, as it is still pretty unknown. So next time I am going to book the whole place, filling a train carriage with family and friends, hitting the trail in convoy (kids and all) and ordering David's pizzas all round, for the perfect autumn pick-me-up.
A bed in a shared dorm at the Yarde Orchard Bunkhouse, Torrington, Devon (07972 786306; yarde-orchard.co.uk) costs £12 (£8 for under-16s). Rental of the whole building (sleeps 14) is £140 for the first night, and £120 for subsequent nights.
Bike hire from Tarka Trail Cycle Hire (01271 324202; tarkatrail.co.uk) costs £10 per day for adult bikes, £7 for children's bikes. Adult bike, plus child's tag-along bike, costs £17.50 per day. To order a map of the Tarka Trail from Sustrans see sustrans.co.uk.
A hamper of fine Devon food can be pre-ordered for delivery from Red Earth Kitchen (redearthkitchen.co.uk) for menus and to order online. Main courses from £4.75 per person, or £27 for 6 people.
Catherine travelled with First Great Western (firstgreatwestern.co.uk) from London to Barnstaple.
Five child-friendly bike trails
Ryde, Isle of Wight
The island is ideal cycling territory with more than 200 miles of cycling paths and 12 marked routes of different lengths and difficulty. A good family option is the circular route from Carisbrooke; the kids will love scrambling about the ruined castle before setting off through country lanes across Westridge Down. Stop off at the Crown Inn at Shorwell - roughly half-way - for some excellent pub food.
· Isle of Wight: 01983 813813; islandbreaks.co.uk
New Forest
Skedaddle offers a three-day self-guided trip to the New Forest, perfect for young families, based in the pretty town of Brockenhurst, where the routes all begin and end. Easy, pastoral cycling beneath the forest canopy, kids will love the ponies and cattle that roam freely around the route. From £180, including two nights' B&B.
· Skedaddle: 0191 265 1110; skedaddle.co.uk
Lon Las Cymru, Wales
At 250 miles long, Lon Las Cymru is the ultimate cycling tour of Wales, but it can be broken down into manageable chunks that will make a great weekend break for families with teenage kids. The Brecon to Cardiff section runs on the largely traffic-free Taff Trail, and is mainly downhill, dropping 700ft in 30 miles. The fairytale Castell Coch is a great stopping-off place and the Wern Ganol guesthouse is comfortable.

Norfolk coast cycleway
The 59-mile route from Cromer to King's Lynn takes in the stunning beaches of the north Norfolk coast - meaning there are plenty of opportunities to take a break for a spot of sandcastle building - the vast stretch of sand at Holkham beach is stunning. The route takes in the pretty town of Wells and the Holkham National Nature Reserve. Stop for lunch at the Victoria at Holkham .
· Bike hire: cyclenorfolk.co.uk. The Victoria: holkham.co.uk/victoria_01.html
This 200-mile section of the North Sea cycle route takes in five counties. It can be done in sections: the Bamburgh to Berwick-upon-Tweed stretch (about 16 miles) is delightful, and a five-mile detour takes in spectacular Holy Island, where you can stay at the Crown and Anchor.

Two beautiful fastbreak give-and-gos between Stricklen and Johnson in the final minute gave Tennessee a 36-27 lead at intermission. Massengale had 15 points in the first half to lead all scorers as the Lady Vols shot 52 percent.
Down by as many as 11, Georgia cut the deficit to five on a 3-pointer by Meredith Mitchell with 2:05 left in the first half causing the Lady Vols to call timeout.
Massengale continued her assault on the hoop with a putback lay-up with 3:51 left in the first half as Tennessee took a 30-20 lead.
Vicki Baugh's first basket of the game with 5:41 left in the first half put the Lady Vols up 28-19.
Tennessee opened the game strong, taking a 20-11 lead in the first 8:13 as Massengale made her first four shots including two 3-pointers.
The Lady Vols return to the hardwood on Sunday as Tennessee travels to Arkansas for a 3:30 p.m., match-up that will air on ESPNU and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.

Rainbow Reviews publised a detailed review of the anthology that featured this mention of my story:
"However, the stories that did hit that nerve, and successfully took them with me ~ some of those will be lingering in the back of my mind for a long long time. Deep, to-the-bone, icy-shiver creepers, and a couple of kick-to-the-gut visceral thrillers.And in another comprehensive review, AlexDraven (Librarything user) described the story as "Brutal horror - Dexter meets Bret Easton Ellis ****." Four out of five stars and comparison to a personal hero (Bret Easton Ellis) is pretty great. Thanks Alex.
"Jamie Freeman's "Hollow," for example, delivered that fine blend of irresistible revulsion, provoking an actual physical reaction with it's clear-as-ice descriptions, while forcing me to keep turning the pages to see exactly how badly things would work out."

Watch the video below for details you won't get in the written copy:
Out of all the SUV's in this price range that I've driven so far, the VW Tiguan has got to be my favorite. Why? Well for starters it's got that sassy "German feel" to everything about it. From the way it steers, corners and handles – it's a vehicle that begs to be driven hard.
It has great body lines – clean, elegant and stylish all at the same time – I find it very stated actually. In fact, given the competition out there, it really is – to me – the best looking SUV in its class. While I realize this is totally subjective, I'm okay with that.
- 2.0L 4-cyl. engine
- Automatic transmission
- Up to 21 cty/27 hwy mpg
- All-wheel drive
- Navigation System
- Bluetooth
- MP3 Player
- Satellite radio
- Side/Curtain Airbags
- Stability Control
- Traction Control
It does a really great job of helping the driver to feel much more "at one" with the vehicle than most others I've driven in its class. There's a sublime sense of "road feel" and handling predictability that goes to really help it feel very solid.
The interior is exceptionally well-rounded. A very good combination of materials, looks and functionality make the Tiguan an easy ride to fall in love with. Easy access controls, everything within reach and easy to read for the most part – except the climate control.
The audio system is good but not near the greatness that is the Fender-based audio system that VW offers. It's good but not great – will be "good enough" for most, however, the more discerning ear will opt for the Fender.
Seats are firm yet soft and very supportive – would I prefer to see full power seats at this price? You bet and to that point, I think VW really messed up.
Rear leg room is pretty good, all things considered with the available cargo space and overall size of the Tiguan – seats back there are equally supportive as the front, sans all the available adjustments.
Seats are firm yet soft and very supportive – would I prefer to see full power seats at this price? You bet and to that point, I think VW really messed up.
The ultra-responsive turbo-charged motor is a really good fit here, it revs quickly and never feels under-powered. Even the torque comes alive rather quickly – VW has done a kick-ass job with the design of this motor.
The main issue I didn't really care for – which also plagued the Turbo Beetle – is that this same automatic transmission sort of feels like a goat meandering around the pasture eating whatever it stumbles upon – in that, often, I'd finding it "trying too hard" to find the right gear. This issue seemed to go away while in sport-mode, however.
Rare cargo room is here in spades with enough space to haul at least 18 cases of wine (assuming the back seats are folded down).
Another pretty cool feature is the massive glass roof you get by scrolling back the built-in sun-shade. My only issue with this is that the "sun-shade" is perforated and not a solid piece of material – I'm sorry, but when I want to block out the sun, I want to do so completely.
The Tiguan is easily one of my favorite SUV's in its class – a blast to drive, great handling, good looks and just an overall feeling of "yeah" will entice you to give it a serious look if you're in the market for a crossover SUV in the lower to mid 30's.

Wizards point guard John Wall called his upcoming absence because of a left knee injury "a minor setback." Team president Ernie Grunfeld labeled it "a bump in the road."
However it's described, Wall is expected to miss the 1st dozen or so games of the NBA's regular season after the Wizards expounded Friday that their best player — the No. One overall pick in the 2010 draft — was diagnosed with the early stages of a stress injury to his left knee cap.
The Washington Wizards said the injury doesn't require surgery. If his rehabilitation goes as expected, Wall will be sidelined for about 2 months in all, including about the 1st month of the regular season, which starts Oct. 30 for Wizards.
Wall asserted he "started feeling discomfort" about a month back, and he got an MRI examination that Grunfeld related didn't show any sort of problem. But Wall still was bothered by his knee while working out and went for a 2nd opinion.
He was examined Thursday in New York by orthopedic expert Dr. David Altchek, and a new MRI revealed the injury.
"Just something that happens when you work out very hard; that's all I can say," Wall said.
"It's very tough for me," Wall added.
He led the Washington Wizards by averaging 16.3 points and 8 helps last season. He also topped the team with 95 steals and averaged 4.5 rebounds.
The Wizards finished 20-46 during the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season, 2nd worst in the league.
"The great point about this is that we caught it when we did. It is not going to be a best-case scenario, but we also have to look at this in a good way. … My expectations of what John can do this year, it being his 3rd year, is not going to modify. He's just going to start a little later," Washington coach Randy Wittman recounted. "We were lucky that we came and saw it before there was any type of fracture or anything of that nature."
The Wizards open training camp Tuesday at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. They also expect to be without their 2nd best player, Nene, for most of training camp. He has a foot injury.
Until Wall can return to action, he announced, "I'm going to try to be there and be a coach and a mentor."
But he also pointed out that he wants to "make sure I don't rush back."
To help fill the void, the Wizards agreed to terms with vet guard Jannero Pargo on Monday. He averaged 5.6 points per game last season for the Atlanta Hawks, his 5th team in an 8-year career. NFL lines
"We have a deep roster at this time, and we've got a lot of players at a lot of different positions," Grunfeld asserted. "We have players that may pick up the slack, and it is not going to be up to one player."
And, as Wittman noted: "Clearly, we're going to miss John."

Social and Cultural Foundations of Education (During EDF 672)
WHAT: Consortium of Overseas Student Teachers
WHO: 15 universities across the continental U.S.
WHERE: 15 countries worldwide
Student Requirements:
Miscellaneous Facts:
Ourense, Spain: This program offers an opportunity for students in the College of Education to explore the educational system and cultures of the Galicia region in Northern Spain. Students will also be teaching in the local schools, either in English or Spanish based on student needs. Students will be placed depending on two considerations: 1) Their certification needs dictating placement at the secondary or elementary level 2) Their major/minor needs if secondary. There is no language prerequisite for this program. Students will participate in a dual placement program that facilitates half a semester placement stateside and half a semester placement abroad during the teacher assisting semester.
Students will be housed with host families, thereby immersing them in Spain's culture. Students will explore Ourense by taking a tour of the city and trips to The Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral, the Capilla del Cristo, the Ponte Vella (Old Bridge), and the Spa and Thermal area. Additional cultural experiences include weekend trips to Santiago de Compostela, a leading Catholic pilgrimage route originated in the 9th century and home to Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Students will also spend a weekend in Albergue "Os Biocos" where they will go hiking, make astronomical observations, visit medieval castle "Castillo de Castro Caldelas", explore Roman mines, and see century old chestnut and oak trees. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to participate in excursions to Madrid and Portugal.
This experience could greatly impact a student's ability to teach in a multi-cultural setting. It will also offer students the opportunity to experience another culture and assist in the creation of culturally competent students and educators.
This program is designed to give graduate students in the College of Education (COE) an opportunity to learn about social and cultural differences and apply their learning to systems of education in the U.S. while visiting the Dominican Republic. The EDF 672 Social and Cultural Foundations of Education course is one of two courses (EDF 671 & ED 672) that graduate students are required to take in the COE Foundations unit. EDF 672 will be offered as a study abroad section in the Dominican Republic. Students will enroll for the spring session at GVSU and spend two of those six weeks in the Dominican Republic. Three pre departure meetings will take place while in the U.S. For distance students, these meetings will be available via Skype. Additionally, a web-enhanced component will be available for students to complete some course work prior to living for the Dominican Republic.
Program excursions include trips to Samana, Museum of the Mirabal Sisters, Playa Sosua (beach), Cento Leon Museum, and an overnight stay in Santo Domingo. An emphasis on higher education will be included in the curriculum. Students will visit two very different universities in Santo Domingo and in Santiago. They will learn about the structure, organization, and student experiences (school persistence) in both the private and public university system in Dominican Republic.
Stellenbosch, South Africa - The College of Education at GVSU collaborates with the University of Stellenbosch School of Education to offer education students a six week teacher assisting experience in area elementary or secondary schools, in English medium classes. GVSU students first complete their required coursework and the first ten weeks of their teacher assisting in a West Michigan school. The last weeks of their teacher assisting are completed in a South African school. During the South African school vacation, GVSU students participate in travel and touring throughout the Cape Peninsula, one of the most beautiful regions on the planet.

Electoral map gives edge to Obama
By John Whitesides, Reuters Thursday, May 3, 2012, 11:41 am TWN
WASHINGTON -- The battle for the White House is still in its early, often silly stages — a time when issues such as the economy and national security can be overshadowed by spats over which candidate would be better for dogs.
But in the end, the Nov. 6 election between Democratic U.S. President Barack Obama and presumed Republican nominee Mitt Romney will hinge on 10 politically divided states, nine of which Obama won when he defeated Republican John McCain in 2008.
The states range from former Republican strongholds such as North Carolina and Virginia to a few key battlegrounds — namely Ohio, Florida and Nevada — where a sputtering economy gives Romney a chance to break through. Pennsylvania, Colorado, Iowa, Arizona and New Hampshire also are up for grabs.
Obama dramatically expanded the political playing field for Democrats in 2008 by winning states such as Indiana that had not backed a Democratic presidential contender in a generation.
In this year's state-by-state race for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the election, Obama is the early favorite in states that would give him 227 electoral votes. Romney leads in states that would give him 180.
That gives Obama larger room for error than Romney as the two wrestle for the 131 electoral votes at stake in the toss-up or "swing" states.
A state's electoral votes reflect its number of seats in Congress, most of which are based on population.
Larger states such as California (which has 55 electoral votes and likely will go for Obama) and Texas (which has 38 and is likely to back Romney) can be windfalls, but in close elections, narrowly divided states such as Ohio (18 votes) typically determine the outcome. All of the states except Maine and Nebraska award all of their electoral votes to the candidate who carries the state.
When Obama rolled up 365 electoral votes and nearly 53 percent of the popular vote to defeat McCain in 2008, Obama's personal ratings were strong and he did not have much of a record on spending, deficits and healthcare for foes to target.
But jobless rates above 8 percent, and public doubts about Obama's leadership on the economy and his landmark healthcare overhaul have helped push his approval ratings below 50 percent since then. That has put him at risk in several of the key states he won in 2008.
"Obama will be playing defense, but he has some ground that he can give up and still win," said Bruce Haynes of Purple Strategies, a bipartisan consulting firm that is conducting monthly opinion polls in swing states.
"To some extent, he's running a national triage operation, and he just can't lose too many patients," Haynes said. "He can lose a few states from 2008, but he has to have some firewalls."
How Romney Could Win
If Romney can hold all 22 of the states won by McCain in 2008, he could start his path to the White House by reclaiming Indiana and Virginia — which until Obama came along had not backed a Democrat in a presidential race since 1964 — and North Carolina, which had been reliably Republican since 1976.

"We're seeing China and other countries grow into significant players on the web," said WebSideStory vice-president Geoff Johnston.
"Businesses should take note of this as they develop their online strategies."
The company, through its StatMarket division, bases its numbers on surveys of millions of internet users accessing some 125,000 sites worldwide.
The increase in Asian Internet usage comes at a time when the Chinese government has been cracking down on web access, closing Internet cafes and asking Internet companies to sign promises that they will not post content offensive to the Chinese government.
Yahoo! China has signed that pact, Yahoo! officials in the US have confirmed.
A group of 18 Chinese dissidents and intellectuals on Monday published a "declaration of Internet users' rights" in protest of this pact. The declaration calls for complete freedom for Chinese people to surf the Internet.
The Beijing government's official estimate showed some 46 million Internet users in China in June, but some private surveys put the number at above 50 million.
Online rating service Nielsen/NetRatings said recently that 56.6 million Chinese live in Internet-connected homes, making China second only to the United States in the number of home Internet users.

A steering team for the Kent State University Airport has begun planning the development of a new master plan. The public may help determine the future of the airport by participating in a series of public information meetings in early 2013.
Kent State University has owned the public-use, general aviation airport on Kent Road (S.R. 59) in Stow since 1942 and uses the facility to support its aeronautics program, one of 32 accredited aviation education programs worldwide.
"One of the many things that makes Kent State University a special place is its delivery of programs and majors not offered on other college campuses," said Todd Diacon, Kent State's senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. "Having modern airport facilities is the basic building block for the continued excellence of this program."
In 2004, the airport completed a master plan, which was then updated in 2006. At that time, the university was considering closing the airport and moving operations to another nearby airport.
University leaders are now reassessing the recommendations of the previous plan, and a new plan is required to take a fresh look at the airport's assets and to determine its needs.
According to KSU officials, the airport is a significant economic driver locally, supporting not only the university's aeronautics program, but also local businesses, community services and private pilots. The new master plan must take into account how the airport can best serve the needs of all members of the community.
"I am pleased that the airport master plan is being developed to guide and support upcoming operating and investment strategies," said Gregg Floyd, senior vice president for finance and administration at Kent State. "We have deferred any reinvestments in the facilities and infrastructure until this master plan is completed, and the needs are becoming urgent."

"I 'thought' under the terms of the person whom 'DONATED' this land for an Airport, that the land and the site, 'MUST' remain a Kent State University airport facility???
