(CNSNews.com) - Republican George W. Bush has beaten Democrat Al Gore on the education issue, one political analyst citing various survey and research findings said, but the vice president's campaign workers vehemently denied the claim.
"That statement is ludicrous," Gore spokesman Dan Pfeiffer said. "Bush supports vouchers, and every public poll you see shows vouchers are unpopular."
Pfeiffer and other campaign officials also claimed Gore's education policies were on track with the goals of voters, and congressional and White House administration records show he has maintained a focus on improvements.
Six years ago, for example, Gore reportedly supported Goals 2000 legislation that established national educational requirements for all students and schools. He sponsored the 1991 National High-Performance Computing Act to develop a network to link students, teachers, and researchers and supported measures in 1999 to build and modernize 6,000 schools nationwide.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Gore also "opposed an educational voucher proposal that would have undermined public education," according to campaign officials.
"Gore will continue to talk about education, and why he opposes Bush's voucher plan," Pfeiffer said.
Bush's support for school vouchers, however, may resonate with a certain percentage of voters. Nina Rees, senior education policy analyst with The Heritage Foundation, said a recent Joint Committee for Political and Economic Studies poll indicated "57 percent [of blacks] are for school choice."
David Almasi, the director of Project 21 - an organization within The National Center for Public Policy Research that seeks to promote the views of blacks - echoed the findings of that poll in August when he touted the voucher plan as a "good vital solution" to the current educational system problems.
"I think it's too late for Gore" to recoup constituent support based on his education plans, Rees continued. "Bush has distinguished himself ... and done something that no other Republican has done."
Bush is not only addressing the issue of education on a frequent basis, she said, but also appears "comfortable" speaking about his related record in Texas and plans for the nation. Gore, by contrast, has seemingly taken for granted the constituent support his party has historically received on education issues, and in doing so, presented a non-caring attitude, Rees said.
"Bush never shied away from the issue of education, even before the primaries," Rees said. "One of the keys to show voters you care about the issues is to talk about them comfortably ... and he does.
"Gore, on the other hand," she continued, "didn't visit as many schools. He felt so confident on the education issue that [he and his campaign workers] didn't pay attention to what Bush was doing."
Even such efforts by the Gore campaign to quote unfavorable statistics and studies pointing to Bush's alleged inadequacies with the education issue in Texas have proven futile in swaying voters' views, Rees said, because those opinions give the perception that Democrats are desperate.
A Rand Corp. study released last week and utilized by the Gore campaign to criticize Bush's Texas record, for instance, suggested that education gains reported in that state may only reflect higher test scores, earned when teachers pressed students to cram for the exams, rather than actual learning.
"What the study shows is everything Bush has been saying about his achievements in Texas is really a myth," Pfeiffer said.
An earlier Rand report, however, had indicated that Texas led the nation in many areas of educational improvements and Gore's attempts to prove otherwise "didn't help" the Democratic cause, Rees said.
"A view of a lot of the folks on the left is that the Texas record is one we should be proud of," she said, explaining why efforts to belittle Bush's education policies have largely failed. "I've sensed that this is something [Democrats] are doing as a last resort. The fact is, the Democrats didn't think this was an issue they should be fighting for."
Zogby International September survey results released earlier this month indicated respondents favored Bush on four key education issues, and Gore, on three.
The American Values Poll asked participants of different ages, educational levels, regional demography, religion, political party affiliation, ethnicity, work status, gender, ideology, and labor union status if they supported Bush or Gore in seven school-related areas.
In the "totals" column, Bush won constituent favor for his views on academic standards, funding, student testing, and alternative teacher certification programs.
The majority of survey respondents preferred Gore's refusal to consider vouchers, except for white participants, who favored Bush's school choice plan. A majority also agreed with Gore's ideas for Head Start and his focus on teaching social skills rather than just reading and writing.
Gore also scored well in the area of charter schools, according to Zogby, which reported 54 percent of the respondents favored his plan; 37 percent, Bush.
"Gore's plan is pretty much ... no different from what Democrats have offered at the federal level, except with a few more bells and whistles," Rees said. "Bush's is the superior plan ... [and] focuses on streamlining the federal program, consolidating existing programs, and boosting academic standards."

I liked how in SA if you had 1* but equipped a gun the cops would shoot at you, made the game more realistic.

I liked how in SA if you had 1* but equipped a gun the cops would shoot at you, made the game more realistic.
Another question I have about SA is one of the early missions had this thing where I failed and then conveniently a Taxi was nearby and there was a button I could press (the right directional I think) to skip all the cutscenes and be right at my destination for the mission fast (CJ gets in the Taxi or something). This only occurred once in the entire game and I'm at mission #91 or so...why only one mission? Anyone else know anything about this?
It is just part of a mission friend that is all...
One of the latest problems I'm having on SA is spawning the mission "Breaking The Bank At Caligula's" which is part of The Heist that is to begin. I did the mission that comes right before it but nothing is happening and the Home Coming based missions are active instead. These missions have been pissing me off for days now.
It is an odd thing... But V.C.S had the ability to take the taxi from the hospital and the police straight to the mission giver
It is even in GTA IV
In my times playing the GTA 3D games and HD era, i have only visited the police stations or hospitals if they are mission based only
For just fun and chaos, i have never died or been arrested
Sounds like that Mega Man 10 trophy Mr Perfect where you beat the game without dying. Hardcore.
I read on a guide that if you date the nurse (I don't know where the other 6 girlfriends come from BTW) at 100%, you'll still have your weapons after you are wasted. Is this true? If it is, it falls under that category of things that I thought were a negative in the game, can be "completed" and fixed. I'm always on the lookout in SA for these and this was I had no idea about. Its like the driving sucks at the start of the game but then gets better as you play. This would be extremely helpful and might change my mind about not doing the Girlfriends side-quest (however its still a major chore and somewhat bore).
Can I use a tank in Territory takeovers? I have one in a garage and it might make this process faster if I use it.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh Garages, how I miss thee! hope they return in GTA5
Interesting that you mention garages because just yesterday I got my tank and put it into CJ's garage at Ganton (original spot) and it worked fine for gang territory takeovers (slower but safer and might save me time in the long-run too)...I just run them over. The problem is the 2nd time I put the tank in the garage I couldn't get in it or move it at all...its stuck!!! :x Now I'm worried I'll never get it out and the garage space will be screwed on this save-game. I tried a few things but no luck. If you go behind the garage you'll see the cannon part of the tank sticking out of the wall which is funny and predictable. I looked online to see if there was a fix for this problem and I found this which has good ideas I'll try. Its funny the exact same thing happened to the OP in that thread (and Canadian too!) just 7 years ago. The one difference is I don't have another vehicle or bike inside it, I took out the 2 cars I had in there before I put the tank inside.
There were no garages in GTAIV? Wow, the more I read about that game the more I learn how empty the extra content is in that one. Very superficial.
I saw this featured on Joystiq the other day. I thought it was amusing.
New banner for the OP:
Awesome Banner friend,
Onto The gta games.... With GTA 3 and San Andreas, do you think that they would have worked in reverse
Probably not. San Andreas had a larger map, more features, missions etc.
Speaking of GTA III, who do you think would have replaced Salvatore as the Don of the Leone Family? Joey or Toni? If it was Joey, do you think Toni would be okay with it?
That is a two way answer friend, because both would bank on that position and both would have the same outcome
Both then again you could had replaced the DON, since you are in favor with both toni and Joey..
On the reverse, i could see GTA 3 in 1992 and Sand Andreas in 2001... But i guess they would put claude at a disadvantage, because he would have to play both games or C.J would take the place of Claude in GTA 3 and Claude being the white gangster in 1992
I think it's probably Toni. While Joey is Salvatore's son, we haven't seen him do as much for the family as Toni (Liberty City Stories).
Maybe the don never really favored Toni or Joey as Don and in an act of hatred replaces that position with a new fresh blood
Toni would definitely be the successor, Joey being his son wouldn't automatically make him the new Don, that's not how the Mafia is, Toni was pretty much Salvatore's right hand man the whole time.
Anyone thinking of replaying San Andreas before GTA V comes out?
Love too, but my game is broke and i just finished the pain in the hole firing range :(

Now it's really time to put up or shut up as we have reached Jim Mora's favorite part of the season: The playoffs. Well, the fantasy playoffs. Per usual, I'll be here all morning to provide updates on the active and inactive players in today's early games. I'll be tracking the statuses of Rashad Jennings , Jordan Reed , Reggie Bush , Vincent Jackson , Tony Gonzalez , Adrian Peterson and others, so it's going to be a busy morning. Starting at about 11:30 a.m. Eastern, keep refreshing this post until the early kickoffs for all of the news on who's in and who's out.
-- According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Raiders RB Rashad Jennings is INACTIVE due to his concussion. Marcel Reece is expected to get the start, and he is on the PPR radar since he is such a competent receiver, but he is just a deep flex option against the Jets, who have the league's best run defense.
-- Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson is active despite a hamstring injury. He's a high-end WR2 versus the Bills.
-- Ravens TE Dennis Pitta will make his season debut today against the Vikings. However, he may not play much in his first game back from hip surgery. He is worth a stash but don't play him today. Dallas Clark is inactive.
-- Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell is active and will start against the Dolphins. His comeback from the scary hit he took and resulting concussion he suffered on Thanksgiving is pretty amazing. He is a low-end RB1 versus the Dolphins.
-- Lions RB Reggie Bush is active. He missed practice early in the week due to a calf injury, but he practiced Friday and is an RB1 against the Eagles.
-- Patriots RB Stevan Ridley is officially active after being a healthy scratch last week. Stay far away from any Patriots running back not named Shane Vereen today. RB Brandon Bolden is inactive. Also, the Patriots will be without WRs Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson. Perhaps this finally means more work for Danny Amendola.
-- Redskins tight end Jordan Reed is INACTIVE once again because of concussion symptoms. He practiced during the week and said he would play, but this is the fickle nature of concussions. Logan Paulsen will see more snaps in his place.
-- Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas is surprisingly active. He had been nursing a sprained ankle and did little work during the practice week. I think it means a few less carries for Lamar Miller, but I still think he is a RB2 in 12-team leagues against the Steelers. Miami should run a lot today in the snow.
-- Vikings RB Adrian Peterson is active. He gets a lot of rest during the practice week and plays. Start him.
-- Jets WR Stephen Hill is inactive due to a knee injury. You're not using him anyway.
-- Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez is active despite a toe injury that has limited him for a few weeks. He is a TE1, but Matt Ryan may struggle outdoors in the cold at Green Bay.
-- Bengals WR A.J. Green is active. He picked up a groin injury last week, but he'll play through it. Start, start, start.
-- Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is active. He was listed as questionable on the injury report, but that's what the Pats do. He is an obvious must-start.
Players who have already been ruled out for Week 13 include Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, Christian Ponder, Brandon Weeden, Darren McFadden, Denarius Moore, and Percy Harvin. The impact of their absences will be discussed in the fantasy analysis section below. For a full rundown of injuries around the league this week, click the link below to the NFL's official injury report.
Fantasy Analysis:
-- Cutler was able to go through some limited practice this week, so perhaps a Week 15 return is reasonable. Josh McCown will get his fourth consecutive start and is a top-10 fantasy QB versus the Cowboys.
-- Rodgers remains in a holding pattern with his fractured collarbone. The Packers won't rule him out for the season, but when/if he will play again this season is a total mystery. Matt Flynn will get another start after his horrid outing on Thanksgiving in Detroit. The Falcons present a much friendlier matchup, but Flynn is so bad, I can't recommend Jordy Nelson or any other Packers wideout as anything more than a low-end WR2.
-- Ponder is out after suffering a concussion last week. Matt Cassel gets the start versus the Ravens. That gives Greg Jennings a slight bump up, but you know the deal with this offense in fantasy: It's Adrian Peterson and nothing much.
-- Weeden is out as he also couldn't get cleared following his Week 13 concussion. Jason Campbell will start against the Patriots. You are still starting Josh Gordon, and Gordon is the only Browns player you should start.
-- McFadden returned last week from a hamstring injury only to suffer an ankle injury. That's the story of his career. If Rashad Jennings can't play, Marcel Reece should lead the Raiders' backfield in touches. But against the Jets' elite run defense, I don't want any part of him unless I am in a deep PPR league.
--Moore hasn't practiced since suffering a shoulder injury on Nov. 17. You can feel safe dropping him. Andre Holmes, who had a breakout game against the Cowboys last week, is a low-end WR3 in deep leagues. Rod Streater is also in that conversation but has less upside.
-- Harvin suffered a setback with his surgically repaired hip last week, so that will mean more targets for Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin again. Both are nothing more than WR3 options against the 49ers.

Scientific advances in genetics over recent years mean that we know a lot more about the microbes that live in and on us in their trillions.
Many countries have invested a lot into research toward understanding the interactions within the human body's ecosystem and their relevance to health and disease.
The two terms microbiota and microbiome are often used to mean the same thing - you will often see them used interchangeably. There is a subtle difference between the meanings, however, and so this article will distinguish between the two.
Fast facts on the human microbiota and microbiome
Here are some key points about the human body's microbial populations. More detail is found in the article.
- The human microbiota is made up of trillions of cells - including bacteria, viruses and funguses - and they outnumber our own cells tenfold.
- The biggest populations of microbe reside in our gut - the gut microbiota. Other habitats include the skin.
- The microbial cells - and their genetic material, the microbiome - live with us in an innate relationship that is vital to normal health, although some species are also opportunistic pathogens that can invade us and cause disease.
- The microorganisms living inside the gastrointestinal tract - also known as the gut flora - amount to as much as 4 pounds of biomass, with every individual having a unique mix of species.
- The microbiota is important in nutrition, immunity and effects on the brain and behavior. It is implicated in numerous diseases when the normal individual balance of microbes is disturbed.
What are the human microbiota and microbiome?1-3
The human microbiota comprises the populations of microbial species that live on or in the human body - the commensal bacteria, viruses and funguses (and other single-celled animals such as archaea and protists) that call our bodies home.
Each of us harbors anywhere between 10 trillion and 100 trillion microbial cells in a symbiotic relationship that, in the normal healthy state, suits both them and us. Estimates vary, but there could be over 1,000 different species of microorganism making up the human microbiota.
All of the genes inside these microbial cells, meanwhile, are what constitute the microbiome.
In a similar way to deciphering the human genome - by sequencing all of our genes - the microbiome has been subject to intensive efforts to unravel all its genetic information.
The following video about the human ecosystem has been produced by the Genetic Science Learning Center of the University of Utah, Salt Lake City.
It is a good introduction to the various habitats for different types of microbe in and around our body, including the differences between the dry environment of the forearm and the wet and oily environment of the armpit.
The total of microbes in the human microbiota may be highly numerous in terms of cell numbers and species, but the microbes are so small that, while they outnumber human cells, they make up only about 2-3% of our total body weight.
Ongoing research over the past decade has elucidated the genetic diversity of these communities, which varies according to site.
A study published by the Human Microbiome Project Consortium in the journal Nature in 2012 found that:
- Samples of mouth and stool microbial communities are particularly diverse
- In contrast, samples from vaginal sites show particularly simple microbial communities.
The study characterized the great diversity of the human microbiome across a large group of healthy Western people but asks numerous questions that may be answered by further genetic research. How do microbial populations within each of us vary across our lifetimes, and are patterns of healthy colonization mirrored by disease-causing microbes?
"How large a role does host immunity or genetics play in shaping patterns of diversity, and how do the patterns observed in this North American population compare to those around the world?" the authors write. Some answers are provided by more recent findings covered on page 2.
Recent developments on human commensal microbes from MNT news
Stress during pregnancy 'alters vaginal microbiome, influencing offspring development'
This paper in the September 2015 issue of the journal Endocrinology looked into the question of whether "disruptions to the vaginal ecosystem could be a contributing factor in significant and long-term consequences for the offspring."
Alterations to the eye microbiome of contact lens wearers may increase infections
Bacterial populations in the eyes of contact lens wearers were more typical of the eyelid skin flora than of the eye surface of non-lens wearers' eyes in this research presented in May 2015.
Why is the human microbiota important?4-10
The microorganisms that have evolved alongside us and form such an integral part of human life perform a range of roles. They are implicated in both health and disease, and research has found links between our bacterial populations, whether normal or disturbed, and the following diseases:
Microorganisms such as bacteria are vital for health as well playing roles in disease.
- Asthma
- Autism
- Cancer
- Celiac disease
- Colitis
- Diabetes
- Eczema
- Heart disease
- Malnutrition
- Multiple sclerosis
- Obesity.
The human microbiome has an influence on the following four broad areas of importance to our health: nutrition, immunity, behavior and disease.
In addition to helping themselves to energy from the food we eat, gut microbes are essential to the availability of nutrients for ourselves. Gut bacteria help us break down complex molecules in meats and vegetables, for example. Without the aid of gut bacteria, plant cellulose is indigestible.
Gut microbes may also have an influence on our cravings and feelings of being full after eating via their metabolic activities.
The diversity of our microbiota is related to the diversity of our diet, and adolescents trying out a wide variety of foods display a more varied gut microbiota than adults who follow a distinct dietary pattern.
Without contact with the microorganisms that colonize us from birth, our adaptive immunity would not exist. Adaptive immunity is the part of our immune system that learns how to respond to microbes after first encountering them, enabling a more rapid defense against disease-causing organisms.
Scientists have found profoundly ill effects in germ-free rodents - rodents that are sterile of microorganisms - and an underdeveloped immunity is among them.
The microbiota also has relevance to autoimmune conditions and allergies, which can be more likely to develop when early microbial exposures are disturbed.
Scientists have found intimate relationships between the brain and the gut microbiota.
Because of its involvement in digestion, the microbiota can also affect the brain. Some have even called the gut microbiota a "second brain."
Small molecules released by the activity of gut bacteria trigger the response of nerves in the gastrointestinal tract.
Links have also been observed between the gut microbiome and brain disorders such as depression and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD).
Gastrointestinal bacterial populations have provided insights into gut conditions such as the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Low diversity in the gut microbiota has been linked to IBD as well as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
The nature of the gut microbiota has been linked to metabolic syndrome, and dietary modification has shown an effect on this cluster of risk factors via prebiotics, probiotics and other supplements.
Gut microbes and their genetics affect our energy balance, and brain development and function. As a result, research into the effects of gut microbes on the developing brain and diet-related disorders is ongoing.
Antibiotic disturbance of the microbiota can lead to disease, including the emergence of infections that display antibiotic resistance.
The innate microbiota also plays an important role in resisting intestinal overgrowth of externally introduced populations that would otherwise cause disease - the "good" bacteria compete with the "bad," with some even releasing anti-inflammatory compounds.
On the next page, we give an overview of recent research on the human microbiome and provide further details about the gut microbiome.

Insulation: A Smart, Behind-the-Scenes Investment
If you live in a home that's more than a few years old, it's probably worth your time to figure out if it's properly insulated. With the right insulation, you can create a more comfortable, consistent indoor climate and significantly improve your home's energy efficiency.
How to Select Insulation
What is Insulation R-Value?
R-value measures how well certain building insulation materials, such as foam insulation, can resist heat. The higher the R-value, the greater the performance of the insulation. Keep in mind that if insulation is compressed, the R-value will decrease.
Insulation Types and Forms
The most common types of insulation are fibreglass, cellulose and foam. These types of insulation are available in a number of different forms depending on the location and R-value you intend to add.
Blown-in or loose fill insulation is usually made of fibreglass or cellulose (recycled paper fibre). It's blown or sprayed into place with a machine and is ideal for use in hard-to-reach areas, such as attics. It can also be used to fill wall cavities or to top up existing insulation.
If installing blown-in insulation yourself, you can rent a blowing machine from a Home Depot Tool Rental Centre.
Batts are pre-cut sections of fibreglass or rock wool insulation that are designed for easy handling and use between framing, such as studs and joists. They can be used in floors, walls, attics and ceilings.
Foam board insulation, or rigid panels of insulation, can be used to insulate almost any part of your home, from the roof to the foundation. Polystyrene and polyurethane are the most common materials used in making foam board. Foam board insulation sheathing reduces heat conduction through structural elements like wood and steel studs.
Latex or polyurethane spray foam insulation can be used to fill small gaps and cracks and is ideal for sealing around doors, windows and vents. It sets quickly, and can be trimmed, painted or stained. Special equipment may be needed to apply foam to larger areas.
Vapour barriers help control the amount of moisture that passes through insulation and are commonly used when framing the exterior walls of a house. If moisture from either direction is allowed to build up within the stud or cavity walls, the heat-conducting moisture will cause the insulation to lose its R-value and allow mould and rot to set in over time.
Radiant barriers deflect radiant heat, which can pass through other types of insulation to further increase your home's energy efficiency.
Calculating the Costs of Insulation
1 Determine if your home is already insulated
If you have insulation, find out the type and compare it to industry standards for R-value. Remember: The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation.
2 Calculate any additional insulation needs
If, for example, industry standard is R-50 and your depth is less than this, subtract the R-value depth you have from 50 to determine the amount needed to top up.
3 Measure the area needing insulation
Measure the length of space needing insulation. Batts of insulation generally come in 16- or 24-inch widths to fit the spaces between wall and attic framing.
4 Determine the type of insulation to use
Decide what type of insulation you want to use. Manufacturers cut batts into 4- foot lengths. Once you determine which product to use, divide your total from Step 3 by the square footage per bag. Find the cost for insulation and multiply one unit by the total you need to complete the job.
Other Areas to Insulate
Another way to control heat loss is by improving the quality of your windows. Low emissivity (or Low-E) windows do not allow as much heat to pass through, keeping your house cooler when it's hot and warmer when it's cold. Shrink film and weatherstripping are low-cost alternatives.
Insulate water heaters to prevent costly energy loss. Look for insulating pre-cut jackets or blankets with an insulating value of at least R-8. Adding insulation to your water heater can reduce standby heat losses and save you water heating costs.
Wrap pipes with tubular insulation to prevent freezing and help keep water hot. Use quality pipe insulation wrap, or neatly tape strips of fibreglass insulation around the pipes. Insulating your hot water pipes reduces heat loss and can raise water temperature, allowing you to use a lower temperature setting.
Insulated heating and air conditioning ducts operate more efficiently and vibrate less, reducing noise. Properly sealing air leaks using metal or sealant tape and insulating air ducts located in unconditioned spaces such as attics, crawl spaces, garages, or unfinished basements can also help improve your home's energy efficiency.
DIY Installation Tips and Tools
First, make sure that your house is properly ventilated. Adequate ventilation is necessary to prevent too much heat and condensation from building up, as well as to provide fresh air. Next, plug leaks to prevent air from getting in and out in areas around windows and doors. Always fix leaks before installing insulation, as they may be difficult to find after the job is finished.
Safety Tips
Working with insulation can cause itching and skin irritation, so make sure you take proper safety precautions:
The basic tools needed for an insulation project are: a tape measure, utility knife, straight edge, lightweight stapler, or hammer tacker to secure insulation in place, and a putty knife. Additional materials may include a drywall compound and expanding foam sealer.
It's also a great idea to bring a portable light, especially when working in attics and crawl spaces, plywood to stand on, a rake for insulation adjustment, and insulation supports. All these tools and materials will come in handy during your project

Published: August 26, 2014 at 12:27 AMI as wondering why this was getting no attention on this site really, but I am glad to see someone is covering it.
I'm not a thrill coaster person so much, but the thing about this that has me excited is the new parking and entrance upgrades. It seems like they may be about to make the park more awesome looking and convenient to drive up and park. From the pictures it looks as if there may be more opportunity to park closer to the walkway to the front gate now and the walkway up to the gate is going to be awesome. I'd say this improvement in infrastructure will have a long term great impact on the park. Very excited about it and hoping to see more family friendly additions in the future to go along with this thrill seeker drawing addition. It will be an excited coaster to watch while walking in though, even if I have no intentions of getting on it.
Published: August 26, 2014 at 3:34 AMThanks for the update, Matt. Do you know if all the work you mentioned will be accomplished before the start of next season, or is the transformation something that will be ongoing for the next few years?
Also, if one was going to visit Carowinds.... any recommendations on places to stay nearby that are great for families?
Thanks, and go Gamecocks!
Published: August 26, 2014 at 5:12 AMGreat article, and it looks like Fury is going to be a great addition to the park. I know the effect that Gatekeeper had on Cedar Point in reenergizing the entrance to the park- Fury will do the same for Carowinds. Plus Cedar Fair is focusing more on foods- I with they would do so more at Cedar Point (although we do have those amazing perch sandwiches that James Rao couldn't get enough of while here ;+)
Published: August 26, 2014 at 5:34 AMThe expected opening day for Fury is slated for Spring of 2015. If construction completes along a similar timeline as Intimidator we are probably looking at an April 2015 opening date.
Some of the speakers at the media reveal also hinted that their 2015 announcement would make a big "splash" so I suspect a water park is in the works and will open after Fury.
There were a couple of two star hotels right at the Carowinds entrance. They are certainly the most convenient but nothing exceptional. I stayed at the Quality Inn and found it to be reasonably priced and clean. Their included breakfast was also decent. If you are looking for more deluxe accommodations just head a little deeper into Charlotte
Published: August 26, 2014 at 5:38 AMHow long will the ride be? The full POV video is only 1min 40, so do they keep you from unloading untill after the 3min 30 has passed?
Published: August 26, 2014 at 6:42 AMThis is nice to hear. My wife and I are planning a whirlwind theme park trip next year and Carowinds was on the list. Im looking forward to checking it out about this time next year.
Published: August 26, 2014 at 7:30 AMSadly the iconic Plantation House at the entrance will be torn down. While I welcome the entrance improvements, it's a shame the entrance will lose the southern identify and become more generic.
Published: August 26, 2014 at 9:28 AMI guess record setting coasters haven't abated. I wish more amusement parks will try to have more well-rounded experiences. Watching the video was enough for me.
Published: August 26, 2014 at 10:38 AMHaving ridden Leviathan earlier this summer, Carowinds is looking at a sure hit from Fury 325. The layouts look very similar, and I had a similar impression to the POV of Leviathan as I do for Fury, meh. However, Leviathan is easily one of the top 10 coasters on the planet, and Fury looks to even one-up Canada's top coaster. The redesign of the entry plaza was desperately needed for this park because the current entry forces guests into a bottleneck, which is why they needed to open a second park entry over by Afterburn.
Published: August 26, 2014 at 6:49 PMWhen they first announced this, I was baffled by the marketing. Calling this the "tallest, fastest giga coaster in the world" seems like a bit of a stretch. By throwing in the giga moniker, it only positions itself as being the tallest and fastest coaster in a field of five (since the strata coasters are taller and faster).
But then I started hearing coworkers talk about it (because they always like to believe they'll hear about these things before me). When they describe it, that little "giga" descriptor is lost in translation so they think Carowinds is getting the tallest, fastest coaster in the world.
I have to commend Cedar Fair on that one. They HAD to know that this was going to happen. On the one hand, it's a little disingenuous to allow that kind of misinformation, but it's not really something they can control. Their announcement is 100 percent truthful. It's not their fault people don't read good.
Published: August 27, 2014 at 6:49 AMI also find it interesting when parks tweak their claims to make them seem more impressive then they are, but it does seem to work. Only the coaster nerds really know the score, and these ad campaigns typically stay true to the facts, but present them in a way to impress the general public. Personally, I would have instead presented this as the world's tallest and fastest B&M coaster on the planet, because the "giga" term is pretty meaningless.

Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Volume Three
by David R. George, III, Keith R.A. DeCandido (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Like the other books in the Minisiers "World of Ds9" this book contained two distinct stories by different authors and one was significantly better than the other. in this case the Story by Decandio about Ferginar was fantastic. The descriptions about the world seldom seen on T.V. was great the story of Quark trying to once again weasel his way into the Negus's favor, why still standing by the idea that Rom is an idiot is hilarious. The "relationship" between he and Ro Lauren develops well and is worth 5 stars on its own.
Unlike the others in the series the less good story is not horrible. George is getting better, but he went from one extreme to the other. The last "re-launch" title he wrote had like 90 chapters in it, this one has only 7. The story focuses mostly off site at the new "changeling home-world" The descriptions of the changeling lifestyle outside of being as a solid leave something to be imagined, and that imagination didn't do well for me. Also some of the ideas don't seem quite in line with what we know of the the Changelings from T.V. such as the founders having belief in their own god. Also the secondary story, focuses back in the alpha quadrant and mostly on the station is were the real interest is, certainly they are setting us up for a T'arnatar focused story to come, one that the relaunch serious desperately needs. Also at least twice we are lead to believe that one of beloved characters dies, do they? Well I won't let that out, and I'm not sure if George does either. This story probably deserves a 3 on its own, leading the book to a 4 star.
Keith R. A. DeCandido takes us to Feringinar with Quark and Ro Laren, then David R. George III offers a tale about Odo, Taran'atar, and the Dominion. While not as compelling as other books in this series, Niners should read this books to keep up with the ongoing relaunch.

His quest leads him unexpectedly to questions about the gods and their creations ...and what those creations do when they believe that those gods have forsaken them. FERENGINAR: Political turmoil threatens to unseat Rom from the leadership of the Ferengi Alliance. A scandal involving criminal charges against Rom's former wife uncovers secrets which could not only bring him down but could undermine all the well-meaning changes his regime has introduced. Worse still, hardcore capitalist Quark has been enlisted by Rom's political adversaries to join forces with them against him, with promises of all the wealth and success Quark has ever dreamed of ...as long as he helps them to overthow his brother.

I leave for five minutes and ALL this stuff happens.
HAD A GREAT WEEKEND WITH FRIENDS. And brought my new friend Stomach Flu with me. It was awesome. Sort of. But I'm back and ready to roll. So let's!
C.I. SHARPTON? This story by The Smoking Gun is seriously awesome. If you've not read the sordid tale of the right good Reverend Al Sharpton and his ties to various and sordid criminals and criminal enterprises, pop some popcorn and settle in. Although the writing is awful, the details are many. IF this is true (and I say if because I've watched too many movies where someone is framed by the government), it is scandalous and if the Rev. Al was given the same treatment by liberals that they give conservatives, he would be banished to Siberia for his complete lack of credibility or principles. It will be interesting to see how diligently the media sweeps this under the rug.
THE INTERNET IS MAKING US STUPIDER...AND COMMON CORE CODIFIES IT This story from the New York Times should be a warning shot to every parent who lets a small child use a tablet. There are studies out now that indicate how we skim and read things on the internet is actually changing our ability to comprehend what we're reading. And the effect is not just online, it's bleeding over to novels and any other reading that requires complex thought. Why did I drag Common Core into this? Because instead of recognizing that reading a classic novel, as boring as that is, they are using short texts from the web to teach reading comprehension. Put those together and you have yet another generation who can't think their way out of a box.
YES, PASS THIS PLEASE! I hate red light cameras. Hate. Them. I've read enough studies on the accidents actually CAUSED by red light cameras to think they are simply a money making racket for the municipalities who employ them. But they are BIG money makers so don't think this bill to end their reign of terror will be passed without a fight.
PEOPLE ARE AWESOME. Not all the news is bad news. This story out of the Springs will make you happy.
HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO PAY FOR OTHER'S LEAVE TIME? The bill that may or may not be working it's way through the Legislature is very well-intentioned. And it will be sold as a compassion way to help low income workers. However, it comes with a price tag for every worker in the state. So? What are you willing to pay?
QUICK, WHAT DO YOU SPEND THE MOST ON? I'll give you four answers to choose from: food, clothing, housing or taxes? What if I told you that you spend more on one of those things than the other 3 COMBINED? Would that help? It should, and the fact I just shared should tick you off.
I SURE WISH SMUG LIBS WOULD READ THIS It's a thing to hurl the invective, "what's your source, Fox News?" in the world of smug liberals and I will henceforth refer them to this article. It does a nice job uncovering just HOW fair and balanced Fox really is. Unlike many of their trailing competitors.
THIS IS THE BEST CAMPAIGN AD YET And well done to the Brophy campaign for going this route. Watch it and enjoy.
AS TEMPTING AS IT IS TO BELIEVE, NO SELFITIS IS NOT A REAL THING Did you hear the news story that the American Psychiatry Association declared the compulsive taking of selfies to be a mental disorder? It's a hoax. But I found it to be completely plausible when I heard it too. It already has a name though, it's called "narcissism".
JEB BUSH IS NOT MY HOMEBOY ANYMORE Jeb Bush as an excellent Governor for the State of Florida. He righted the ship in education and put the state on good financial footing. When he left office, I would have happily voted for him for President. But since he started pimping Common Core as the answer to all problems he lost me. And this weekend he threw the gauntlet down on immigration and I'm not picking it up. What did he say? I'll play it for you.

This month, the Clean Water Act celebrates four decades of safeguarding our waters. The landmark legislation has worked to keep streams, rivers, lakes and the Chesapeake Bay fishable, swimmable and drinkable.
Passed on October 18, 1972, the Clean Water Act set a new national goal "to restore and maintain the…integrity of the Nation's waters." A revision of the 1948 Federal Water Pollution Act, the Clean Water Act helps states establish water quality standards and gauge restoration success. It regulates the discharge of wastewater into rivers and streams and of dredged material into wetlands. And it helps states implement conservation practices to cut back on pollution from non-point sources like urban, suburban and agricultural runoff.
But what can YOU do to keep our water clean? Use this list as a guide, and take a look at our How To's and Tips for more ideas.

10. Dispose of unused medicines properly. To keep medicines out of our waterways, don't pour unused or expired drugs down the sink or flush them down the toilet. While some medications can be thrown out with household trash, consumers should take precautions when doing so. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends removing the medication from its original container and mixing it with coffee grounds or cat litter to make it less appealing to children or pets. Place the fouled medication in a sealable bag to prevent it from leaking or breaking out of a garbage bag. Or return unwanted medication to a consumer drug return location or community drug "take-back" program.

9. Use non-toxic household cleaners. Substitute common household cleaners with safer alternatives. Warm water and baking soda can clean and deodorize kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Olive oil and lemon juice can polish furniture. And vinegar can soften hard water deposits.

8. Take proper care of your car. Wash your car on grass or gravel rather than pavement so that wash-water loaded with soap and exhaust residues doesn't run off of your property and into storm drains. Or, clean your car at a commercial carwash, where rinse-water is often recycled and reused and wash-water is often treated before it is released into the sewer system.

7. Take proper care of your lawn. Test your soil with an at-home kit or a mail-in test to determine how much fertilizer your lawn needs. If you decide to fertilize, do so in the fall; spring rains can wash fertilizer off of lawns and into storm drains. Avoid over-application and keep fertilizer off of sidewalks, driveways and other hard surfaces, where it can be washed into local waterways.
6. Pick up after your pet. Pet waste contains nutrients, bacteria, viruses and parasites that can wash into local waterways if left on the ground. Nutrients can promote the growth of algae blooms, which contribute to dead zones in the Bay. Bacteria, viruses and parasites can threaten the health of humans and wildlife alike. Use a plastic bag to pick up dog waste; tie the bag closed and place it in the trash. Double-bag cat litter and place it in the garbage.

5. Replace asphalt or concrete with pervious pavement. Porous materials like brick or stone pavers, pervious concrete or gravel allow water to drain through hard surfaces. A porous sidewalk or driveway, therefore, allows the ground to absorb stormwater runoff, reducing pollution into local waterways. Pervious pavement can also cool its surface better than its impervious counterpart, reducing on-site temperature and improving local air quality.
Image courtesy Will Merydith/Flickr
4. Collect rainwater with a rain barrel. A one-inch rainstorm on a 1,000 square-foot roof can result in 600 gallons of usable water. Install a rain barrel underneath your home's downspout to capture it! A single rain barrel can collect up to 80 gallons of water, which can be reused to water your lawn and garden. Excess water can be stored in an additional barrel or diverted into a patch of plants that will soak it up before it can run off of your lawn.
3. Install a rain garden in your backyard. Designed to capture stormwater and allow it to soak into the ground, rain gardens are often filled with native plants able to withstand short bouts of flooding. But these bioretention cells do more than clean and curb stormwater. Rain gardens also provide insects and animals with valuable habitat and add aesthetic appeal to your yard.

2. Grow oysters. Popular on dinner plates across the watershed, the eastern oyster is critical to clean water. A natural filter feeder, the oyster is capable of cleaning up to 50 gallons of water in one day. While historic populations could filter the entire Bay in one week, habitat loss, disease and historic over-harvesting have contributed to a dramatic decline in native oyster numbers. Now, a host of organizations—including, for instance, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR)—have started at-home aquaculture programs for citizens with waterfront access. Participants raise oysters in floating cages and return the adults to be planted on a reef elsewhere in the Bay, where they will continue to grow, filter water and reproduce.

1. Teach a child about the Clean Water Act. From science to civics, the Clean Water Act has a lot to teach a child. Teachers and parents alike can use online resources to explore the law, like a selection of water "sourcebooks" that cover drinking water, wastewater and wetlands or a lesson plan that links law-making to the outside world. Learn more about just how and why teachers should educate students about the Clean Water Act on Bay Backpack.
Striped bass spawning success is at an all-time low in the Chesapeake Bay.
According to data from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the number of juvenile striped bass in the Maryland portion of the Bay fell 97 percent in the last year.
Image courtesy Eddie Welker/Flickr
To track striped bass reproduction rates, biologists take a series of summer seine net samples at more than 20 sites in four striped bass spawning areas. This year, the average number of juvenile striped bass caught in each sample was 0.9. Last year's juvenile striped bass index was 34.58; the long-term average is 12.
Biologists have blamed unfavorable weather for the decline.
"Generally, warm winters and dry springs are unfavorable conditions for fish that return to freshwater to spawn," said DNR Striped Bass Survey Project Leader Eric Durrell. Like the striped bass, white perch, river herring and other anadromous fish also experienced low reproductive success this year.
But biologists "do not view this low value as an imminent problem," said DNR Fisheries Director Tom O'Connell. "Three consecutive years of poor reproduction would be necessary to trigger mandatory conservation measures."
According to the 2011 Striped Bass Stock Assessment released by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, striped bass along the Atlantic coast are not overfished and overfishing is not occurring.
This Halloween, thrill-seeking river rats can take a trip to a graveyard—a ship graveyard! Mallows Bay, located on the Maryland shore of the Potomac River, contains the largest known shipwrecked fleet in the Western Hemisphere. A quick search on Google Maps or a look at this image from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) shows the fleet's massive imprint on the waterway.
This steamship fleet was intended to be used during World War I. But faulty construction and the war's end rendered the fleet useless. The steamship vessels, totaling more than 200, were towed to Mallows Bay, where they were packed together so tightly that you could, according to reports, walk for a mile without touching the water.
Local watermen protested, afraid that such a high concentration of "garbage" would affect their livelihoods. Some vessels were burned, but many others were left to sink and rot.
Today, many are visible above water, but some 140 more lurk beneath the Potomac's surface.
The above-water steamships are now home to non-human inhabitants. Great egrets can be found nesting on the decks, while vegetation peeks out from beneath the rust. On some vessels, trees as high as 50 feet tall have sprouted!
To see how the plants and animals of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem have made a home out of these sunken vessels, check out these photos and videos from kayakers who have paddled through the wreckage.
Perhaps the "haunting" nature of Mallows Bay is not one of humans that have been left behind, but resources that have been ill-disposed and forgotten.
Want to see this ghost fleet for yourself? Launch a canoe or kayak at Charles County's Mallows Bay Park to explore the ships up close!
Sometimes, even a single tree can make a difference. And it helps when that tree is a big one.
For six seasons, Baltimore County has held a Big Trees sale in an effort to put big, native trees in Maryland backyards. Since its inception in 2009, the program has sold more than 750 trees to Maryland residents, augmenting the state's existing forests and moving Baltimore County closer to its pollution reduction goals.
Big trees are integral to the health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests clean polluted air and water and offer food, shelter and rest stops to a range of wildlife.
But big trees can be hard to find. To provide homeowners with the native trees that have high habitat value and the heft that is needed to trap polluted runoff, species like pin oak, sugar maple and pitch pine are grown in a Middle River, Md., reforestation nursery. The one-acre nursery, managed by Baltimore County's Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability (EPS), began as a staging ground for large-scale plantings but soon expanded to meet a noticeable residential need.
"We used to give incentives to homeowners to buy large trees at retail nurseries," said Katie Beechem, Environmental Projects Worker with the EPS Forest Sustainability Program. "But we found that homeowners were buying smaller species—flowering dogwood, crape myrtle—that didn't achieve the same benefits…that large native trees like oaks and maples and river birch can provide. We were able to fill this big tree niche."
Emails, signs and word-of-mouth spread news of the sale to homeowners. Some travel from the next town over, while others come from as far as Gettysburg, Pa., to walk among rows of seedlings in black plastic pots.
Staff like Jon-Michael Moore, who supervises the Baltimore County Community Reforestation Program, help residents choose a tree based on growth rate and root pattern, soil drainage and sunlight, and even "urban tolerance"—a tree's resistance to air pollution, drought, heat, soil compaction and road salt.
One Maryland resident picked up 15 trees to line a fence and replace a few that had fallen. Another purchased two trees to soak up stormwater in his one-acre space. And another chose a chestnut oak simply because she had one when she was a kid.
Out of the 12 tree species that are up for sale, oaks remain the favorite.
Whether red, black, white or pin, oaks are often celebrated as the best big tree. Oaks thrive in a range of soils, drop acorns that feed squirrels, woodpeckers and raccoons and create a home for thousands of insects.
Discussing the oak, Moore mentions University of Delaware professor Doug Tallamy. The entomologist once wrote that a single oak tree can support more than 500 species of caterpillars, which will in turn feed countless insect-loving animals.
But can one big tree make a difference for the Bay? Moore nodded: "Every little bit helps."

Kim kardashian denies calling nigerian women' apes'
Basketmouth recently revealed his kind of comedy is different, it's different from other comedians because he has to be original and be himself on stage.
Basketmouth told the NET, "The Nigerian flavour; my kind of comedy is different. It's different from other kinds of comedians because I have always wanted to be me, original and myself on stage. I have worked on my brand for years to get to where I am right now. What I'm going to be bringing on stage is going to be different from what I have even done before. I want to give it my best; I want to make Nigerians proud. I am not just doing this for myself or career; I'm doing it for 'Naija'. "

I didn't go out of my way to buy a car neither did I fly all the way to Belgium to buy a car, it was just a coincidence that I just bumped into the car. It was also coincidental that I was the only person that ordered it from this region. ' he said about the car.

And for his music flair, '… I did a single in the past with Faze, it came out but nothing happened. I didn't push it because I didn't like it. I did one with Darey, I pushed it and I did another one with Eldee The Don.
Until I did with Wizkid I almost didn't want to release it so it was like let's just try and see how it goes and we did two singles and people liked it and definitely some people hated it but I'm going to release the album regardless so I have to complete that part of my journey and by the grace of God it's going to come to pass this year.'
We hope to see this music soon…

Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is the initial add-on pack for Borderlands. Originally released as a digital content download, action in it is centered in the town and surrounding areas of Jacob's Cove, which is on the fictional Jakobs Corporation owned Island unofficially named Zombie Island. Here players are tasked with the completion of 20 exclusive Borderlands missions, involving the zombie infestation of the island, as well as various optional side quests.
As the name of the island suggests, players will be kept busy honing their skills at dispatching zombies, zombie bosses and the other undead beings as efficiently as possible. In-game money is earned for these kills and available weapons come both in the form of randomly generated weapons and unique items taken off defeated bosses. The level of undead action experienced is directly tied to players' progression within the single player campaign within the main game, making for gameplay closely tied to the main game, and a zombie fest not to be missed.
Key Game Features
- The new explorable region of Jocob's Cove, containing further sub-regions.
- 20 unique Borderland missions.
- New undead enemies, including Pumpkin Heads, Tankenstein and others.
- New unique weapons.

Famed bond-king Bill Gross and his trusty sidekick, Mohamed El-Erian, of Pimco are super smart. And rich. Really rich. Did you know Bill Gross is worth 2.1 Billion? Dollars. US. Dollars. And, did you also know the bond king actually collects stamps? — The more you know.
And, the truth is Billy & Co. would probably be even smarter and richer if they'd just trademarked that catchy phrase they coined, The New Normal.
Think about it: It's new, yet safe and familiar. That's what we, in the biz, call marketing gold. Well, gold before it dropped off a cliff…
Now, the way I see it, locking down such an insightful and colloquially colorful phrase like The New Normal would have almost certainly brought Pimco a lot more coin (or stamps)– the TV and t-shirt licensing rights alone; especially in the face of the dwindling margins inside the investment management world.
Think about it: the New Normal explains almost any change from whatever normal was at the moment before. Hot pink this season? The new normal. Gold. Going up? The new normal. Going down? The new normal.
It's perfection. Perennial. Poetically poignant. A purple polka dot in a field of posies. (ok, that last one was a bit much; I just wanted to keep using P-words.)
And why am I saying all this you may ask… go ahead, ask.
Well, I've been tracking Pimco's New Normal portfolio for some time now. And, while we have all been busy lapping up the idea that the new normal was somehow new, we also seemed to forget that there is absolutely no place where "normal" exists.
Normal is only your myopic impression of a moment in time, a moment that has now just passed you by. There it goes again… And again…
Two seconds ago the old normal was not reading purple polka dots in a field of posies. Then it was the new normal. then it wasn't. All in about a nano-second. Is your mind blown yet?
Of course change is the only constant, and once we realize this — we can no longer accept such elementary ideas of what normal is, can we? And yet we do.
See, once you think you've found normal, new or not, you must also accept that you just missed it by trying to find it. That's the whole enigma wrapped in a riddle game of life. But it is a catchy slogan, The New Normal. And Bill & Mohamed rode that one hard too.
It's just too bad it's a terribly mediocre investment strategy, still.
This is the performance of the allocation Mohamed El-Erian of Pimco suggested you use to emulate their New Normal strategy, compared to the S&P 500.
And this is the same portfolio compared to a boring 60/40 Portfolio.
So, I guess the New Normal is that the new normal is no better than the old normal.
That's all for today, class. Next week we tackle going Meta in a Beta world…

Sue Kristoff Becoming a MompreneurElance_Cathy | Jan 21, 2008
Part 3 of a 3 Part Series
This is the final article in a three-part series spotlighting professional women who are using the internet to begin or continue new careers on Elance while simultaneously starting and raising their families.
Just like the two previous stories in this article series spotlighting Mompreneurs, Sue Kristoff (Elance ID: skristoff), started her freelancing career to have more time with her family. "Freelancing allows me to be at home with my children, especially during their early years, while still maintaining my professional career. I no longer have to pay for full time child care, or have a long commute."
The decision to move to freelancing was easy for Sue. Here's how she analyzed the decision:
First, Sue's one hour long commute to her job at a research firm outside of Boston was grinding, and she needed a change. Sue notes, "While I was pregnant with my second son in 2005, I realized that on weekdays I was spending more time with my older son in the car than I was being with him or playing with him at home. That just didn't feel right to me."
So after her second son was born, she decided to leave the world of full-time work and form her own consulting company. The Kristoff Group LLC was established in February 2006, and celebrates two years of business next month.
Second, while her previous professional background is in Mechanical Engineering, Sue's professional work experience has always been very multi-disciplinary. "While my background is in structural engineering and testing, a large portion of my work entailed writing proposals, presentations, test plans, technical reports, and other forms of technical writing. I've always loved writing, and unlike many of my engineering colleagues, I actually enjoyed writing these technical documents," said Sue.
Sue found Elance while searching the Internet for technical writing opportunities. Sue found that with her broad set of skills, she was well-poised to launch her new freelancing career in the Writing & Translation category.
Third, Sue's husband was willing to adapt his schedule to support Sue's new freelance work schedule.
"My husband works from home 3 days per week for his job, and this helps with day-to-day logistics. He also will take the kids out for the day some Saturdays so I can have continuous work time," said Sue. "I do end up doing a lot of work at night and on the weekends, but I certainly wouldn't return to the commuting full-time working life I had before."
The result? Sue has a growing freelance technical writing business through her company, The Kristoff Group, LLC, that she operates from home. Right now, she spends 8-12 hours working each week, and will increase the number of hours as her children get older.
"Freelancing is an ideal situation for me because I can decide how much work to take on as a freelance consultant while taking care of my family," said Sue.

Hello Sue,
It's great to see how you have applied your engineering skills to writing, and then took the enterpreneurial step of creating your own business out of it! It takes a lot of intelligence and skill to start your own business, and it's awesome to see that dedication to your family and children at the same time.
Good for you, and continued best of luck.

I'm happy for Sue but I hope, no one gets this wrong. If you have a small child or even more than one, you won't be able to work when the child is around. Working at home is no solution at all. You cannot combine children and work at home if you don't have a good babysitter who takes the children away for the time you're working. Don't fool yourself in thinking, working at home will solve your problems. It won't. I'm a single mom and I worked at home for 2 days a week for a huge company. It only works if you're 'not at home' for your child for the work time.

Kudos to Sue for making a decision full of positive implications for her family. We are moving past the time when women felt they had to make an either/or choice. Career...or...family? The internet allows us to use our skillsets to have both!

Hi Sue! I always feel inspired when I read about mompreneurs like you. I wish to be one, too, BUT I am quite hesitant, having a lot of questions in my mind. I am now in my 50's and have kids who are all big enough to manage their schoolwork with little supervision. I am proud to say they are all doing well. I used to teach Writing courses for college students in a university but had to give that up when my kids were starting school and needed much attention and help from me.
With more time in my hands now - and with writing being a favorite love of mine - I am considering going into freelance writing as a hobby and as a source of income. Do you think now is still a good time for me to pursue this dream? Your advice would be most appreciated.

audimax - I totally understand what you are saying. I do not do much work while my kids are up and about. I generally work during "nap time" in the afternoon, in the evening after they have gone to bed, and on the weekends when my husband can take them for a few hours. In the fall when both of my kids are in school at least some of the time, I will have the flexibility to increase my capacity a little bit. Yes, it is difficult to schedule, but the point of working from home, at least for me, is so that I can BE with my kids.
Naomi - Everyone's situation is different. You can read the three articles on the three different moms in this series and see three totally different stories and solutions. If you are interested in freelancing, then perhaps try out a job or two and see how you like it, and see what sort of commitment is required. The great part about freelancing is the flexibility. You are in control of the hours you work, the capacity of your backlog, and the frequency of your work cycle.

PM asks police to probe oil graft claim
Gatt will not vouch for anyone
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi has asked the Police Commissioner to investigate an allegation that kickbacks were paid for Enemalta oil purchases nine years ago.
The decision was taken after a newspaper yesterday published documents claiming to show that a member of Enemalta's oil procurement board had sought commissions from a company that supplied oil for the power stations.
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said Dr Gonzi asked the Police Commissioner to investigate the allegation and take all the necessary steps "in the shortest time possible".
Reacting to the news, Labour leader Joseph Muscat said he was "shocked but not surprised" by the revelation.
Addressing party supporters at a meeting in Rabat (see page 5), Dr Muscat said the allegation "helped explain" institutional resistance to switching to gas-powered energy generation. He also challenged Dr Gonzi to say whether he or his advisers had at any point gotten wind of corruption allegations.
The case dates back to 2004, soon after an oil procurement board was set up by then Enemalta Minister Austin Gatt.
Dr Gatt yesterday insisted he was never warned that any member of the oil procurement board was taking kickbacks or engaging in corruption.
"Nobody ever came to me to say there is a suspicion that somebody could be pocketing some money in the procurement board of Enemalta. Absolutely no one came to tell me that about anyone," Dr Gatt said when contacted.
MaltaToday claimed that Frank Sammut, who sat on the oil purchasing committee, received thousands of dollars from Dutch oil firm Trafigura that supplied Enemalta with its fuel oil requirements.
The paper printed an invoice belonging to a Gibraltar-based company, owned by Mr Sammut, showing that Trafigura was charged more than $19,000 in the form of a "consultancy fee" over a contract of sale for the supply of oil to Enemalta.
The money was allegedly to be paid into a Swiss HSBC bank account that belonged to Mr Sammut's nominee company.
Mr Sammut served on the procurement committee until 2005 but for many years was also chairman of Mediterranean Offshore Bunkering Company, a state-owned firm.
The story came hot on the heels of an opinion piece in The Times last Friday by a former Enemalta manager, who alleged that a decision to ditch a proposed gas pipeline was influenced by "a powerful lobby" of fuel oil importers.
Engineer John Pace, a former manager at Enemalta responsible for electricity generation and EU affairs, wrote that Dr Gatt had introduced a number of changes when taking over Enemalta, including the way fuel was bought.
However, Dr Gatt yesterday reiterated there was "no relation between the so-called oil lobby" and the Government's decision not to opt for a gas pipeline in 2003.
Dr Gatt said he could not vouch for Mr Sammut. "I can't vouch for anyone."
He said that when he became minister nine years ago the oil procurement committee was "strengthened" from a small internal board to a larger 10-man board, which included Mr Sammut and representatives of the Finance Ministry, the oil division, the Central Bank and Enemalta.
"We nominated a large board of 10 people from different fields where decisions were taken together, not one or two persons deciding alone," Dr Gatt said.
He insisted that his job was to appoint these people in conjunction with Enemalta's board of directors.
"But if one of them turns out to have been corrupt that is for the police to establish and investigate. I never got involved in the procurement procedure," Dr Gatt said.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech distanced himself from the 2003 happenings, pointing out that he was not even involved in politics at the time.
Mr Fenech, who is now responsible for Enemalta, agreed with the Prime Minister's decision to call an investigation into the allegations.
He said that when taking over Enemalta two years ago the corporation's oil procurement procedures were reviewed to make sure they were "tight". The review took place in 2011.
Asked if this review was carried out because of suspected corruption, Mr Fenech said: "No, but obviously good governance dictates that you review your procedures rather than introduce them and leave them there."
Attempts to contact Mr Sammut by phone yesterday proved futile and nobody answered when The Times knocked at his house.

Top fermented beer which undergoes a secondary fermentation in bottle. It is intense gold, almost orange in color, with aromas of fruit in syrup (pineapple, peach and apricot), candy sugar, bread crust and a note of chives from the Belgian hops of Poperinge. Warm and sweet on the palate with a firm fizzy finish. Strong and structured, sweet and inviting. A tribute to a friend who went missing, who we may meet again one day, just like the sun that is hiding behind the hill.
Winterlude is also named after a Bob Dylan song, a perfect fit since it is a winter warmer. The idea of winter as an interlude representing both the pause before awakening and the oblivion before new life.
This beer is inspired by some varieties of the Belgian Tripels. The hops come from the Poperinge region, a variety I have always been fascinated by. I connected with one of the region's local farmer and had him set a preferred variety aside from his most recent harvest.
Because it combines incredibly well with food, Winterlude has always made us proud with our catering industry clients.

Plurk You
I've been wanting to write about Plurk for a while.

PayPal's Live Chat Falls Short

The User Experience Relationship
Last week a co-worker forwarded these images on the differences in how people communicate to the customer based on their role, e.g., marketing vs. advertising vs. branding.

Last Sunday, April 6, brought the launch of the long-awaited Facebook Chat. According to TechCrunch, the feature is so far only available to select members.

Not entirely surprising given the backlash that has previously occurred when FB releases new stuff without any warning or feedback and then [Keep Reading…]

Today is my Gotcha Day, it's been two years since I came to live with Mommy & Grandma. Boy, do I love them, and Mommy got me some yummy peanut butter cookies for a snack to celebrate. I'm one lucky dog.
Yes, I tell you, spring is on it's way, You know how I can tell, because I can smell the flowers starting to bloom, I do have a pretty good nose that smells all. Also, Mom got my hair cut last week, so I now have my spring haircut, and boy do I look handsome. I'm so glad spring is on it's way, because I was really getting sick of all this snow that we had this winter. Now, I love snow, but one can only take so much. Bring on the nice weather, Mother Nature, I've been more than ready for it.
Today, Mom took me to PETCO, because Santa Claus was coming for a visit, and she wanted me to meet him. It was a great day, not only did I meet Santa Claus, but I got my picture taken with him. What a nice guy, so this that guy that comes to our house every year and leave presents for us, I like him alot, he gives such yummy treats to me. I also made alot of new doggie friends, who also were going to meet Santa too.
