Why would I want a degree in child development?
A degree in child development will give you the knowledge and skills you need to be employed in a variety of jobs working with young children. If you enjoy working with children and possess integrity, honesty, and sensitivity to others' needs, then a degree in child development may be a good fit for you and your career goals.
Job Description
What do people with child development degrees do?
People who get their degrees in child development go into a variety of careers which involve the teaching, nurturing, and developing of young children. Some of the most common careers that people with child development degrees go into are listed below.
- Child Development Specialists: They work with children who have special physical or mental needs. Their duties include evaluating and monitoring children to determine physical and mental development, and developing therapy plans accordingly. They work with parents to make sure that their children are able to follow the plans that are laid out for their children.
- Day Care Teachers: They are in charge of caring for very young children (usually ages 1 through 4) whose parents have to work and are unable to take care of them during the day. Aside from supervising the children and making sure they eat and take naps, they also teach children basic skills through games and activities.
- Preschool Teachers: They are responsible for teaching young children (usually ages 3 through 5) the basic building blocks for future learning. They teach things like the alphabet, phonics, numbers, and counting. They also organize games and activities to help develop other skills like social and motor skills.
- Day Care Administrators: They are in charge of the daily operations of day care centers. This includes everything from meeting with parents, to ordering supplies, to making sure teaching and activity programs are appropriate for their students.
- Preschool Administrators: They are much like the "principals" of preschools, as they are responsible for the overall administration of their schools. They are in charge of everything from academic standards, to managing teachers, to disciplining students, etc.
How much do people with child development degrees make?
The median hourly wages for the most common jobs for child development majors are listed below. Aside from the figures for child development specialists, the figures were taken from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and are based on surveys which were taken in 2008.
According to CareerBuilder.com, the average salary for child development specialists is $54,184, which works out to be about $26.00 an hour.
The median hourly wage for day care teachers was between $11.32 and $18.08.
The median hourly wage for preschool teachers was $12.35.
The median hourly wage for day care and preschool administrators was $20.65.
Career Outlook
How popular are jobs for people with child development degrees?
Jobs in this industry are quite popular, and they will continue to be popular into the foreseeable future. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the jobs in this industry are expected to grow by about 15% through the year 2018, which is faster than the average growth rate among all jobs. Spurring the growth in this industry is the increasing trend of both parents working full-time jobs as well as the increased desire for parents wanting their children to have a formal education at even younger ages.
Career Path
How do I know if getting a child development degree is right for me?
The first question you have to ask yourself is whether or not you love children and you truly love working with and teaching them. If you can answer yes to these questions, then a degree in child development may be a good fit for you. If you are looking for a career that is high paying, then you may want to look at other degrees.

Literary expression takes many forms; from short stories to expanded documentation covering myriad subjects. Throughout history, authors have set themselves apart offering written works as diverse as romantic novels and epic tales of adventure, spanning several volumes. Within each genre, sub-specialists write in styles running the gamut from concise academic form, to sprawling embellishments of everyday encounters. Thanks to technology and the proliferation of the World Wide Web, there is a relatively new player on the field, begging the question: Are bloggers a threat to literary integrity?
Motivation Dictates Value
Before people had pencils and pens, drawings and symbols left on cave walls were effective communication. So who took responsibility for preserving thoughts in this way? The cave people skilled at drawing most likely bore much of the burden, but lesser illustrators surely weighed in too. As communication became more important to society, formalizing language and alphabets, more and more people took up writing as a form of expression. Early writers were not necessarily highly-skilled. But they wrote anyway, because they could. So the slippery slope of unskilled writers sharing ideas, whether or not they have the slightest clue how to do it properly, is nothing new.
It could even be argued that the same motivation existed for cave drawers as for some of today's bloggers. Fame and recognition, the desire to be heard and remembered, are motivators for taking pens to paper, charcoal to cave walls, and most recently, fingertips to keyboards. What has changed over time is the relative importance of fame, heightened in an information age placing great emphasis on celebrity and adulation.
The evolution of the World Wide Web continues to change the landscape for fame-seekers. An instant audience, perhaps millions, is a powerful draw for those committed to being noticed. As a result, many bloggers put the cart before the horse; adding to the blogosphere, before they really have something to say. Blogging's greatest threat to quality writing is found among 'vanity' blogs, serving only their authors; rather than informative, relevant content shared by capable writers blogging online.
Blog Economics
In addition to personal rewards for bloggers, the practice of sharing online carries cash benefits, once bloggers establish followings. Unfortunately, poorly written blogs yield returns for bloggers able to draw traffic, in spite of themselves. When poor content is rewarded with cash, it might appear as though it undermines quality writing, but it may be too soon to judge.
Blogging is an evolving pursuit, subject to corrections as it matures into a long-term phenomenon. And just as competition influences other economic trends, bloggers face free market influences, which may eventually serve to elevate good writing and take incentives away from bloggers spewing drivel.
Purely promotional blog content, disguised as education, is increasingly being called-out for what it is, filtering-out blogs without intrinsic value. Spam gives blogs a bad name, but it also makes legitimate content shine amid the noise. In other words, bloggers with something meaningful to share will prevail, but only with a firm commitment to high quality content, and perseverance sharing their messages.
Discouraging signs may show themselves in the short-term, but blogging is not a threat to quality writing over the long haul.

As Norse Gods, American super soldiers and billionaire playboy philanthropist technocrats in multi-billion dollar battle suits launch into battle across cinema screens throughout the world to a hail of cheers and applause from fans of adventure of all ages does anyone wonder who decided to put these characters together? As the Silver Surfer CGI expands the limits of modern special effects technology on the silver screen while being pursued by a man on fire across the skyline of Manhattan does anyone notice the slightly built, silver haired gentleman in glasses being turned away from Sue and Reed Richard's wedding? It's the man who created the flaming figure and put him in Manhattan, who created the platform upon which the Silver Surfer sails, the Hulk smashes, Ghost Rider seeks vengeance and Spider-man spins his web. Let's not beat around the bush. No Stan Lee, no Avengers, Spider-man, X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk. No Marvel comics. So no bringing Nick Fury, Namor and Captain America back from the dead. No Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Jack Flag. No Wolverine, Elektra, War Machine, Mary Jane. Definitely no Aunt May or J.Jonah Jameson.
Lee is a world class media operator before media operators were known to exist. Given opportunities many others had in the boom of comic books, Lee created something substantial, meaningful and powerful. He created a framework that would prove to be the single most well known and profitable set of franchises in history, revolutionise the way people read comics and bring a wry smile to many a fanboys face. He's Stan Lee. There is no one like him. And this is his story…
Stan Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber in a tiny apartment at the corner of West 98th Street and West End Avenue, New York City on December 28, 1922. His father worked a dress cutter, working only sporadically after the Great Depression of the 1930s. Lee had one other sibling, his brother , Harry Lieber, 9 years Lee's junior and described the one-bedroom apartment he and the rest of his family had lived in at 1720 University Avenue as "a third-floor apartment facing out back", with him and his brother sharing a bedroom and his parents using a foldout couch.
As a child, Lee has recently revealed that he was fascinated and influenced by books and movies, in particular those of legendary swashbuckler, Errol Flynn. Attending DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, Lee found entertainment and inspiration in his voracious reading habit. His penchant for writing was present early on, as a youth he worked such part time jobs as writing obituaries for a news service and press releases for the National Turberculosis Centre (where presumably he gained his chatty patter, while trying to alleviate the heavy language associated with such writing you can only imagine that writing anything lighter was a distinct joy), delivering sandwiches for the Jack May pharmacy to offices in Rockefeller Center, working as a trouser boy for a trouser manufacturer; ushering at the Rivoli Theater on Broadway; and selling subscriptions to the New York Herald Tribune newspaper. Graduating high school early at 16 and a half in 1939, Lee joined the arguably awkwardly titled WPA Federal Theatre Project.
At a young age, as other Practitioners such as Jack Kirby were roughing in the streets and studying to become artists, Lee had immersed himself in New York. He had mucked in and fronted life out on the island of Manhattan. He hadn't leapt straight for his dream job with both hands but done something immeasurably more valuable perhaps as a writer. He'd experienced the corners and seen the offices and lives of the average joe of Manhattan. This is something that would undoubtedly inform his work later in his career. This, perhaps, is where Lee's fascination with the struggle of the average guy formed. In the shadows of the heaven fingering ramparts of giant cathedrals to man's development and upper limits, there was still the guy making his way from one building to the next bringing sandwiches. New York is perhaps greatest of all cities for this, elevating it's environment to represent grandeur and greatness while presenting daily struggle and difficulty to the great majority of it's inhabitants that fuel it. It's not that no other major city such as London, Paris or Tokyo represented this with both squalor and riches, but nowhere else have they both been so obvious and pronounced and yet so mixed and reliant on the other or for so long than in New York. Without the lingering class systems of London and Tokyo or the leveled society of federal and social in Paris, a dress cutter's son, educated in the Bronx can wander into the marble lined halls of the Rockefeller center. It blended the exceptional with the every day. New York allowed the average person to witness Marvels.
Sometimes it's not what you know but who you know and Stan Lee's first step into comic books was with Timely Comics, thanks to his uncle, Robbie Solomon. Now an assistant on Timely Comics' division of Pulp magazine and comic book publisher Martin Goodman's company. Lee's cousin Jean was Goodman's wife, which would put Lee in good stead by the time he was hired by the great, Capatain- America-creating Joe Simon. But it wasn't an unstoppable climb to stardom for Stan Lee.
His duties were prosaic at first and much like that which he had had to do in previous work. "In those days [the artists] dipped the pen in ink, [so] I had to make sure the inkwells were filled", Lee recalled in 2009. "I went down and got them their lunch, I did proofreading, I erased the pencils from the finished pages for them". Marshaling his childhood ambition to be a writer, young Stanley Lieber made his comic-book debut with the text filler "Captain America Foils the Traitor's Revenge" in Captain America Comics #3 (May 1941), using the pseudonym "Stan Lee", which years later he would adopt as his legal name. Lee later explained in his autobiography and numerous other sources that he had intended to save his given name for more literary work, something that never really surfaced. Lee began immediately to have a lasting effect on the characters that still continue today, with this initial story also introducing Captain America's trademark ricocheting shield-toss, which immediately became one of the character's signatures.
He graduated from writing filler to actual comics with a backup feature, "'Headline' Hunter, Foreign Correspondent", two issues later. Lee's first superhero co-creation was the Destroyer, in Mystic Comics #6 (Aug 1941). The Destroyer was a field journalist, Keen Marlow, captured behind enemy lines and experimented upon with a super hero serum similar to that used on Captain America. The Destroyer was Lee's most popular character prior to the Fantastic Four and enjoyed a MAX imprint (Volume 4) through Lee's company Marvel very recently. Other characters he created during this period fans and historians call the Golden Age of comics include Jack Frost, (an amnesiac character made entirely of ice who woke in the icy wastes of the antarctic and is reminiscent of latter day Ice man Bobby Drake) debuting in USA Comics #1 (Aug. 1941), and Father Time (an interesting character used as back up material for Captain America 6-12, involving a hooded figure with a scythe who turns time against crooks), debuting in Captain America Comics #6 (Aug. 1941).
When Joe Simon and Jack Kirby left late in 1941, following a dispute with Goodman, the 30-year-old publisher made a decision that frankly, would alter the face of comics. He installed Stan Lee, just under 19 years old, as interim editor. Unsurprisingly, given Lee's capacity for operating seamlessly between mover and shaker in later years, Lee showed an ability for business that led him to remain as the comic-book division's editor-in-chief, as well as art director for much of that time.
But many of Lee's friends and colleagues of similar age had been called to war and in early 1942, Lee had his call to join the United States Army. He would serve stateside in the Signal Corps, the section of the army that provides communications, writing manuals, training films, slogans and occasionally cartooning. In true Stan Lee style, while Jack Kirby walked into enemy territory to draw maps, Lee's military classification, he says, was 'playwright' adding that only 9 men in the U.S. Army were given that title. Vincent Fago, editor of Timely's animation comics section, which put out humour and funny animal comics, filled in until Lee got back from his World War II military service in 1945. Danger of bad back from sitting in a chair too long seemingly averted, Lee returned and now lived in the the rented top floor of a Brownstone in the East 90s in Manhattan, much like a certain young man and his doting auntie managed to almost 50 years later….

SPRINGFIELD — Illinois officials say a strip club tax has generated less than 40 percent of the money that was expected when the surcharge was approved.
The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reports the "pole tax" raised about $380,000 in 2013. That's far less than the $1 million predicted when the measure passed the General Assembly in 2012.
Strip clubs can pay a $3 tax for every customer or an annual fee ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 based on sales.
Polly Poskin is executive director of the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
She attributes the lower revenue to the fact that the requirement only applies to strip clubs that sell or allow alcohol. Chicago bans alcohol at its strip clubs.

The Department of Sociology at Western Michigan University offers undergraduate majors and minors in criminal justice and sociology. Criminal justice students study the components of the justice system and its assumptions and implications for the larger society. Internships are often available and many interns pursue careers in the justice system. Sociology students study a somewhat broader range of institutions—educational, political, medical, religious and others—and problems including poverty, inequality, racism, sexism and economic dislocation. Both majors share a set of core methods and theories and both seek to understand the interdependencies of individuals, families, social groups and normative and regulatory systems in a society. Increasingly, this is done cross-nationally and cross-culturally as well as in direct examination of global systems of interdependence. Graduate programs stressing both theory and method include master's and doctoral programs.

Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Mitch Temple's book, The Marriage Turnaround: How Thinking Differently about Your Relationship Can Change Everything, (Moody Publishers, 2009).
Do you think your marriage should be making you happy? Are you trying to change your spouse? You may be carrying around a lot of marriage myths like these in your mind without even realizing it.
Our culture is full of commonly held false assumptions about marriage. If you believe them without examining them, they'll affect your marriage in ways that can be dangerous. But if you change your false beliefs about marriage to reflect biblical truth, you'll change your marriage for the better.
Here are some of the marriage myths you can overcome:
"The grass is greener on the other side of the fence." Although other men may seem better than your husband or other women may seem more appealing than your wife, everyone is human. Any other person you may choose to leave your marriage for will end up being just as flawed as your spouse. You're far better off using your time and energy to work on your existing marriage than leaving – causing yourself and others deep pain the process – only to see new problems spring up in a new relationship.
"Attitudes don't really count." Your attitudes determine your feelings and behaviors, so they actually affect your marriage profoundly. If you think negatively, you're likely to feel badly about your marriage and act in bad ways toward your spouse. But if you think positively, you'll often feel good about your marriage and choose good actions that will benefit your relationship. If your attitudes are on the right track, then the rest of your life – including your marriage – will be, too. So choose a hopeful attitude about your spouse and your marriage, every day. That will motivate you to make the positive choices that will improve your marriage.
"I need to change my spouse." No matter how much you'd like to change your spouse, you don't have the power to change another person. So instead of wasting your time and energy trying to change your spouse, ask God to help you understand, accept, and appreciate your spouse more. Get to know your spouse's unique personality better. When you're frustrated by one of your spouse's behaviors, pray about it and trust God – the only One who can change your spouse – to work in your spouse's life. If you want to change your marriage, focus on making changes in your own behavior, which will then change the dynamic of your relationship for the better and possibly inspire your spouse to change his or her own behavior.
Keep in mind that there are some aspects of your spouse that will remain the same, such as: gender, different communication styles, genetic influences, life history, and personality. Do all you can to show your mate that you accept him or her. Your unconditional love may motivate your spouse to change for the better (in ways that he or she can) at the right time and in the right ways.
"I didn't marry my soul mate." Marriage isn't a matter of finding the only person in the entire world you should marry or despairing that you've missed out if you haven't found that magical person. The truth is that you could have married any number of people and had your marriage would out just fine. Rather than worrying about finding a soul mate, focus on becoming one. Over time in your marriage, you and your spouse can become each other's soul mates by growing closer to God and each other.
An important part of building a soul mate relationship is simply showing up – physically and emotionally – no matter how hurt or hopeless you might happen to feel at a particular time. Also remember to keep your expectations of each other realistic. Your spouse is a real person who can't possibly measure up to a mythical idea of an ideal soul mate. Focus on your spouse as he or she actually is, and make up your mind to discover your soul mate – and become one.
"My needs come first." You know you have a consumer attitude toward your marriage when you catch yourself thinking or saying things like,
- "What am I getting out of this marriage, anyway?"
- "I deserve better" or
- "What's in this for me?"
But the more you focus on getting your own needs met in your marriage, the less likely that is to happen because your attitude will undermine your relationship with your spouse and make him or her less likely to want to meet your needs.
Research has shown that the marriages that work best are those in which both spouses decide every day to make sacrifices for the good of the other. Ask God to help you overcome your selfish nature and develop a desire to serve your spouse daily. Pray for the compassion and empathy you need for your spouse. Be willing to help your mate whenever he or she needs it – no matter how inconvenient it will be for you to help. Remember that, ultimately, it's God who meets your needs. Sometimes He just uses your spouse to do so. Whenever you're concerned that one of your needs isn't being met, pray about it and trust God to help you.
"Happiness is everything." There's simply no such thing as a happy pill you can take for your marriage. Sometimes you and your spouse will go through circumstances that make you feel happy, but sometimes you'll encounter challenges that will make you feel unhappy. Just as your circumstances will constantly change, so will your feelings. So decide to base your marriage decisions on something much more reliable than your feelings – base them on timeless biblical truth. If you live by God's truths revealed in the Bible, you'll discover that right living – doing the right thing, even when it doesn't make you happy – will actually lead to more happiness in the long run because you'll be making decisions that protect you from lots of unnecessary pain.
So instead of spending your energy pursuing things that create happiness, direct your energy toward pursuing God above all else, and happiness will naturally come into your life. Rather than expecting your spouse to make you happy (which is futile), focus on serving your spouse, and enjoy the improvements that will bring to your marriage.
Be sure to forgive your spouse every time he or she hurts or offends you. Withholding forgiveness will prevent you from experiencing happiness in your life. Rely on God's help throughout the forgiveness process. When you decide to follow His call to forgive despite your negative feelings toward your spouse, God will give you His peace that you never could have experienced otherwise.
"It's okay to be rude – we're married!" Although you may feel so comfortable around your spouse that you think anything goes in your relationship, being rude will only harm your marriage. Marriage doesn't give you a license to mistreat each other. Take your little annoying habits seriously because they may be big deal to your spouse. Ask God to help you stop whatever habits bother your spouse, from putting your feet on the furniture at home to making sarcastic comments about him or her in public.
Be patient while your spouse tries to change his or her own annoying habits. Recognize the significant effect that rude behavior in your marriage has not just on the two of you, but also on others in your lives, like your children. Do all you can to treat your spouse the way you would like your spouse to treat you.
"I shouldn't have to ask." Your spouse can't read your mind, so he or she doesn't automatically know what you need. If you need something from your spouse, you usually do have to ask for it – and sometimes you have to ask several times until your spouse fully listens and understands.
Pray about your need first; then ask your spouse. Make suggestions instead of demands. Be flexible and don't push for a decision until he or she is ready.
When your spouse brings a request to you, don't get irritated or defensive. Instead, be thankful that your spouse cares enough to work on your relationship. Listen carefully, giving your spouse your full attention and refraining from making judgments or drawing conclusions until he or she is finished speaking. Seriously consider what your spouse is asking. Think and pray about it. Ask questions to clarify what your spouse needs. Remember that God calls you to put other's needs above your own.
"Conflict is bad." Conflict can be disruptive and scary, but like a good thunderstorm, it can clear the air. If you and your spouse use conflict constructively, it can help you each solve problems in your marriage and grow as people in the process. The key to effective conflict is learning when to engage and when to walk away.
Avoid destructive types of conflict, like criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling, and blaming. Use conflict to help clear contaminants out of your marriage and move you both in a positive direction. Follow these guidelines for fighting fair: Start the argument with a positive, respectful approach rather than with loud words, harsh statements, or judgmental accusations. Don't deny problems. Choose your battles, letting minor issues go. Schedule important discussions for the right times and places.
Avoid trying to do deal with issues during times of great stress or grief, and create an environment where you can be calm and not disturbed. Listen well. Don't use sex as a weapon in your arguments with your spouse. Never threaten divorce. Control your anger. Call a time out if either you or your spouse is becoming too angry, but be sure to come back later to discuss the issue again.
"A crisis means we're over." Every marriage experiences problems. Whenever you and your spouse encounter a crisis, it doesn't mean that your marriage is over. In fact, a crisis can actually strengthen your marriage if you trust God through it and learn from it. Pray for the help you need during a crisis. Commit to doing whatever it takes to work through the problem at hand.
Establish mutually agreed upon rules of interaction, such as no shouting or blaming. Cut off relationships with other people who have a negative influence on your marriage. Ask God to give you the discernment to know what to say and what not to say, when to speak, and how to say what you need to say.
"All pain in our marriage is bad." Pain is never pleasant to go through, but it can actually be a gift because it directs your attention to problems that need to be solved. When your spouse is in physical or emotional pain, never underestimate how much he or she may be struggling. Support your spouse without judging him or her; understand that your spouse won't be able to respond to you normally when in pain. Pray for your spouse. When you're in pain yourself, let your pain drive you to rely more closely on God and discover His grace.
"Marriage is just too hard." While marriage is definitely hard sometimes, it doesn't ever need to be too hard. Start making small, consistent investments in your marriage every day to make your marriage easier. You and your spouse can make deposits into each other's emotional bank accounts by doing or saying loving things for each other. Do what you can to cut down on the withdrawals you each make from each other's emotional bank accounts (ways you hurt each other).
Spend time doing simple activities together that you both enjoy, like walking or writing letters. Invest the time and energy necessary to keep romance alive in your marriage. Pray together and for each other often. Instead of relying on your own limited strength to maintain a close marriage, rely on God's unlimited power to guide and help you every day.

A Sandwich a Day: The Mac 'N Cheese Grilled Cheese at Tom + Chee in Cincinnati
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year--so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Tom+Chee started out as a booth on Fountain Square, selling grilled cheese sandwiches from a space next to Eli's—you may remember the name from another one of our featured sandwiches in Cincinnati—to hungry office workers on their lunch break.
They've come a long way since then, with two brick and mortar locations downtown, one in Northern Kentucky, and another recently opening in Louisville. And while Kenji has already explained the wonder that is their grilled cheese donut, I usually skip that decadent sandwich in favor of this one: the grilled Mac 'N Cheese with cheddar and bacon.
Creamy macaroni and cheese, savory bacon, and gooey cheddar is an amazing combo, even when not in a sandwich, and the generously buttered and grilled white bread adds a satisfying crunch. It's a sizeable meal; I usually eat half and save half for later. It's also a great value at $6.50, though I would save some room in your lunch budget for a soda, as this sandwich tends toward the salty side.

If you haven't noticed already, many of the newer European vehicles are coming out of the dealership with factory installed LED daytime running light bars either on the headlight or where the fog lights would be. This innovative design is taking over the OEM (Original equipment manufacturer) world by storm; you see these types of lights on all the newer Honda, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, and many other manufacturers! Unfortunately, not every car manufacturer has jumped on board this design train just yet, but we have a solution for those car manufacturers; introducing our new 10w Exact Fit LED Daytime Running Lights (styled after the Mercedes-Benz W204 C-Class) for the 2011 and up Chevy Cruze.
This entire assembly is exact fit and will replace the lower fog light area of the Chevy Cruze without having to modify anything; simply clip off the original piece and replace with ours. Each lamp contains five (5) individual high power LED chips that produce 5w each, providing a total of 10w per lamp producing a 6000K Xenon White color. These will be noticeable during the day and night and will give your new Chevy Cruze that updated European look. The installation is also very straight forward, simply connect the two wires (positive and negative) to any power source you want the lights to turn on with such as your existing fog light wiring or any other 12v power source.

Ubertwitter is awesome. I'm doing some testing for them right now and one thing that everyone will be stoked about on the next version is that picture uploads are WAAAAAAAY faster now!! Pictures upload almost instantly! This is one of many improvements.
There will be ads in the next (free) release, but let me tell you, it really doesn't get in the way like I thought it would. Its just one bar that takes up the same amount of space as one tweet, and it doesn't stay on the screen when you scroll through the timeline ether.
I'm not gonna say too much here:27: but trust me, if you like UT now then you will LOVE the next version!
I had been using UT, but recently switched over to SocialScope. The main reason is that I didn't like uploading the pictures to uberpic. I have been through a bunch of twitter clients in the last week and UT was my favorite before getting SocialScope.
I look forward to the new version of UT and will try it out as soon as possible after it comes out.
I'll give it a shot. Maybe it'll be better than tweetcaster.
Thanks for the updates Tommy :fing02: I might have to give uber a go again
I've given both UberTwitter and SocialScope second chances. Still neither satisfies my preferences like TwitterBerry does.

Not only that but there is also a fun Monday Mania challenge issued by 1LUVNMAMA that really had me stepping outside my comfort zone. This week Mama wants us all to create a 3D gift set and matching card. I highly recommend that you head on over to CA&Friends and/or Mama's blog to see what she has made for her inspiration... O-M-G! I am still in complete awe of her paper crafting skills, I swear there's nothing this talented crafter can't build out of just cardstock and pretty papers! :)
Now for me, the card part is no problemo but I honestly don't do much 3D work, so I really had to put my thinking cap on. Hmmm... what would be a fun gift to make using my stamps? Why not pull out the old Badge-a-minit and whip up some fun pieces of flair (any other Office Space fans out there? LOL)
So that's just what I did and I wanted to use some of the very first TGF stamps that I ever bought... the three little fairies; Tink, Eva and Chloe. I don't know if they technically count for Club Anya, especially since I don't think they are even in the store anymore (sadness), but I just had to show them some love. Plus I'm secretly hoping that Marie will eventually expand this line with at least three more of these cuties... hint, hint, wink, wink, fingers crossed! ;)
Then I simply made a quick little box with an acetate cover that slides on and off and the matching card. It's no where near as impressive as Mama's but I am A-Okay with that! :)
Alrighty, it's time for me to go enjoy the day... hope yours is lovely too!

What, you are asking, does this have to do with TMNT? Read on...
In May of 2012, after a roughly forty-year hiatus, I returned to an art form with which I'd had a brief but passionate encounter as an undergraduate: pottery.
I only took one semester of "Ceramics 1" at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst back in 1974, but I loved it -- especially working on the wheel, throwing bowls and mugs and goblets.
So why did I wait forty years before taking it up again? Long story.
Two and a half years ago I began taking private lessons and then classes with local "practical potter" TIffany Hilton, who proved to be a wonderful teacher. I have continued to study with her and in fact will be taking another of her classes soon.
Last year, when I was finishing up a class with her, TIffany surprised me by asking if I would be interested in making some bowls for an upcoming charity event called "Empty Bowls" being put on by the Amherst Survival Center on March 9, 2015. The way it works (as I understand it) is that local potters make and donate ceramic bowls, and local restaurants donate food, and for the price of an admission ticket (proceeds going to the charity), patrons can choose one of the bowls and get it filled with food, taking the bowl home with them after the meal is over.
It sounded like a cool thing, and I was flattered that my teacher thought enough of my skills that she asked me to do this. So I wedged up a bunch of clay in her studio, and in a couple of hours had thrown a dozen bowls of varying shapes and sizes...
… then, a week or so later I trimmed their feet (and signed my name to the bottom of each bowl, complete with my traditional small TMNT head sketch)…
… and sometime after that, once TIffany had done the first (bisque) firing...
... I dipped them in one glaze, adding a few brushstrokes and spatters with a second glaze.
A few days ago, TIffany told me that she'd done the final firing, and I could come and view my bowls before they went off to their final fate.
I was happy to see that they'd come out just about as I had hoped they would. I'd used two of Tiffany's glazes, "cream" and "olive green", which, when combined, create a beautiful bluish-green color. Here's a group shot of the twelve finished bowls, ready to go:
I don't know if there are any tickets left for the event -- I actually had an oddly difficult time finding information about it online -- but here's a link to the Amherst Survival Center Facebook page which might help if you are interested:
I have no idea who will end up with the bowls I made, but it tickles me to think that maybe, just maybe, someone who is a TMNT fan might get a pleasant surprise when they turn their bowl over and see something like this:

WILSON� Sanderson Farms officials announced this week their decision to abandon plans to open a large-scale chicken processing plant in NashCounty.
WILSON� Sanderson Farms officials announced this week their decision to abandon plans to open a large-scale chicken processing plant in NashCounty.
�That�s good news,� said Wilson Mayor Bruce Rose, just minutes after learning about the decision on Tuesday. �That�s good news.�
A NashCountycommissioner partly attributed the decision to legal battles surrounding the proposed plant site. The city of Wilsonlaunched two of three lawsuits that have been directed toward the Sanderson project and, in November 2010, the council decided to spend at least $1 million to challenge the project due to concerns about area water supplies.
Sanderson Farms issued a statement on its website Tuesday saying NashCountywill not be the site for a new poultry processing plant. The decision was made in collaboration with NashCountyofficials and is a result of �various timing issues,� which company officials declined to discuss.
Wilson City Councilman James JohnsonIIIsaid he�s excited about the prospect of Sanderson Farms moving its plans to another location.
�Unfortunately, my excitement must be guarded,� said Johnson, who is also mayor pro tem. �Due to the lack of any substantial North Carolina regulations on industrial poultry farming operations, we may face environmental impacts from any other proposed location. With Sanderson�s announcement, I sincerely hope that Nash and Wilson can come together to begin the healing process. Our region faces many challenges and they can only be met with a united Nash/Wilson partnership working together to solve them.�
The project � more than two years in the making � has been embroiled in controversy because of health, environment and quality-of-life concerns but equally supported by Nash-area officials due to the economic boost the project could bring to the region.
�The city committed a lot of money on this and we fought hard for this,� Rose said. �It�s well worth every penny we spent to keep that company out of our community. Wilsonis a great place to live and we certainly didn�t want anyone to come in to destroy our way of life.�
Sanderson officials have walked a fine line trying to balance company interests in expanding the corporation while keeping distant from local concerns. The project has been surrounded by three lawsuits, all designed to challenge the Sanderson project. And even though NashCountyhas won each lawsuit, including the most recent on Friday, Sanderson officials still made a decision to pull out.
�While we are disappointed that NashCountywill no longer be considered for this project, we understand the need for certainty with respect to Sanderson Farms� ability to move forward with construction in a timely manner once the other contingencies are met,� said Robbie Davis, NashCountycommissioner, involved in recruiting Sanderson Farms. �Unfortunately, various legal challenges will not allow us to meet Sanderson Farms� schedule without the possibility of delay. We are grateful for the very professional manner in which Sanderson Farms has negotiated with our board and staff during the entire process.�
The announcement follows a recent decision by Sanderson Farms, after the company waited 18 months, to commit to locating in NashCounty. The planned 185,000-square-foot processing plant was promised to create 1,100 jobs and a company investment of $95 million � a certain economic boost to the region.
Sanderson officials announced plans to open a plant in NashCountyin August and the NashCountycommissioners approved an incentive package, which was negotiated with Sanderson officials, in September. Part of the package included giving Sanderson Farms 145 acres on N.C. 97 where the processing plant was planned to operate.
NashCounty�s $1.2 million purchase of the N.C. 97 property, in 2010, for economic development was recently challenged in court by two farmers who asked the court to void the property purchase because Nash officials did not hold a public hearing before the purchase. The county held a public hearing in October and won the case in court. The court decision opened the door for the county to transfer the property to Sanderson Farms.
Nash County Manager Bob Murphy declined to provide any details on when the county would transfer the property to Sanderson Farms when asked on Friday.
No indication was given by Sanderson officials or NashCountyleaders that the company had been considering changing its plans. Joe Sanderson Jr., Sanderson�s chief executive officer, has consistently said that the company is committed to the NashCountyproject.
�We very much appreciate the hard work of everyone in NashCountywho worked diligently to recruit us to the area,� Sanderson said. �We also appreciate the support of the local community and the business and political leaders who welcomed us to NashCounty. We remain committed to our growth strategy and, toward that end, have been evaluating and will continue to pursue alternative locations that will enable us to continue our pattern of steady growth as market conditions allow. Today�s announcement will affect the location, but not the timing, of the next poultry complex for Sanderson Farms.�
Mike Cockrell, Sanderson�s chief financial officer, declined to talk about the company�s decision and did not say where the company would seek to locate its next plant.
Sanderson Farms has previously considered other areas of the state, including WayneCounty, where an incentive draft was prepared but later removed when the company decided in 2011 to put the project on hold. The majority of the company�s work has been in NashCountywhere tests have been performed on the proposed plant site on N.C. 97 and property purchased for a hatchery.

Benchmade Construction
Each Berkeley piece is constructed one at a time by an expert artisan. The entire case is reinforced with time-tested joinery, built and assembled by hand and then hand sanded and finished before it comes to you as a fully assembled piece. Our commitment to benchmade construction ensures you receive furniture that's built to last a lifetime.
Solid Wood
We source our solid woods within the U.S., which has some of the strictest forestry standards in the world. Every board is hand selected for color consistency and strategically placed to create a cohesive appearance. The natural markings of the wood make each Berkeley piece one of a kind. The Berkeley collection features solid wood frames, doors, drawer fronts and bases.
Wood Veneer Reinforcement
Berkeley pieces have wood veneer tops, sides and interior panels, and unfinished wood veneer exterior back panels. Berkeley's wood veneer is made by applying a layer of solid wood to premium grade particle board. This combination of materials increases structural integrity because it doesn't expand or contract with seasonal humidity changes like solid wood. Berkeley's wood veneer is thicker than the industry standard and CARB 2 compliant for low emissions.
Berkeley is available in a beautiful range of natural and stained woods. Stain colors are meticulously applied by hand and layered until the perfect color is achieved. A clear low-sheen lacquer is used on both natural and stained woods to protect and seal the surface. Regardless of your material selection, the grain of the wood is allowed to show through for a natural look.
Drawers and Glides
Each drawer front is solid wood and perfectly aligned within the frame of the piece. The drawer boxes have Baltic birch plywood sides connected with dovetail joinery and a wood veneer bottom. Ball-bearing glides function smoothly even when the drawer is filled to its 100-pound capacity. Drawer interiors are hand sanded and sealed with lacquer for a smooth, snag-free finish.
Doors, Shelves and Hardware
Select Berkeley pieces feature sliding doors with paper cord panels. Woven in Iowa using traditional methods, the paper cord panels are framed in solid wood. Hidden premium hardware allows doors to glide smoothly. Some storage pieces have solid wood doors with concealed, fully adjustable, soft-close hinges that open 110 degrees. Shelves are made from wood veneer and rest on adjustable steel pins. We designed Berkeley's distinctive steel pulls exclusively for this collection.

Drug approval process in Scotland under review
The decision-making process at NHS Scotland's drugs approval body is to be reviewed, following concerns about the inconsistent availability of certain medicines.
Scottish health secretary Alex Neil said the review of the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) was in response to concerns about raised by patients, clinicians and charities.
The SMC's role is to evaluate all newly licensed medicines and advise NHS boards on their clinical effectiveness and value for money.
Following a green light from the SMC, health boards draw up a set of criteria for prescribing medicines. If medicines to not receive the go-ahead, then health boards do not make them routinely available.
But individual doctors can prescribe medicines that are not accepted for routine use for patients in certain circumstances via patient treatment requests.
Cancer Research UK's public affairs manager in Scotland, Vicky Crichton, welcomed the review.
She said: "In a health system with limited resources, SMC does an essential and difficult job well. But there have been concerns raised about patients's ability to access effective medicines.
"It's important to look at the evidence and make sure the system is robust so that patients get the best treatments at a good price for the NHS. We look forward to making our contribution to the review."
The new review will assess the systems by which new medicines are made available across NHS Scotland, from the national level to local decision-making, Mr Neil said.
The SMC's assessment processes will be benchmarked against similar organisations elsewhere to test their effectiveness by independent expert Professor Philip Routledge.
Meanwhile, chief pharmaceutical officer Professor Bill Scott will look at how the SMC's decisions are implemented by NHS boards to try to deliver a consistent approach across the whole of Scotland.
Mr Neil said: "We know that the SMC is globally respected and has the fastest and most efficient medicine review process anywhere in the UK.
"Some clinicians, charities and patients have, though, raised concerns about access to medicines, so it is only right that we look at ways that we could potentially improve access arrangements.
"Scotland's NHS is renowned as being at the forefront of new technologies and innovation - I want to make sure that the same is true of access to new medicines."
SMC chair, Professor Angela Timoney, said the consortium was confident that its work was "rigorous" and of high quality, adding that people from around the globe visited Scotland to learn from its approach.
"We are always willing to learn lessons from other countries so my colleagues and I will support Professor Routledge in his work," she said.

Zainab Mir is a beautiful, sharp-tongued campaign strategist with a penchant for stirring up controversy.

Can these ambitious Muslim women juggle two cultures, high-powered careers, and unexpected men—including a right-wing talk radio host—to have it all?

Woods/Stricker Romp as U.S. Takes Lead at Presidents Cup
It was all smiles for Tiger.
THE U.S. TEAM TOOK a one-point lead over the International squad on Day 1 of the Presidents Cup at Harding Park in San Francisco. Thursday was Foursomes—also known as alternate shot—and all but one of the matches were competitive. On Friday the teams will compete in Four-Ball (best-ball) matches.
Americans Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker romped to a 6 and 4 win over Internationals Geoff Ogilvy and Ryo Ishikawa by making every putt they looked at. Or at least it seemed that way. Anthony Kim and Phil Mickelson and Kenny Perry and Zach Johnson also won for the U.S. side.
Partnering with Ernie Els, Adam Scott holed the winning putt to earn a point against Hunter Mahan and Sean O'Hair. Vijay Singh and Robert Allenby also got a point for the Internationals. The final match of the day was halved when American Justin Leonard rimmed out a three-foot putt on the 18th hole.
Here's what I like about watching the Presidents Cup.
Harding Park
I've watched a lot of tour golf over the years. I won't say I have all the tour stops memorized, but I do know a lot of the golf courses, and especially their final nines. However, I know virtually nothing about Harding Park since the pros rarely play there. It's interesting to watch them attack a different course, especially in a go-for-broke match-play event.
Match Play
Match play is so rare on the PGA Tour and other world tours that I find it fascinating to watch. I know that, unless it's the Ryder Cup, match play is a ratings killer. But that's not my problem. I enjoy it anyway. There's a whole different vibe. And also a different kind of pressure, as everyone witnessed today on the 18th green.
Ryder Cup Lite
The Presidents Cup isn't the Ryder Cup, and never will be. That's fine. The atmosphere is not as intense; the players are loose. It is what it is. I actually like seeing the players display some emotion, smile more and be less robotic. It's refreshing.

Match play is a lot of fun to watch. It's a whole different game and it provides a break from what we normally see every weekend of the year. It brings a little team spirit which of course does not exist in the normal golf match.
Discount Golf Clubs
I watched, but I really don't care for team match play whether it's in the Ryder Cup or the President's Cup. I think match play is the only way to go one on one but TV has to bounce around so much to cover what's happening on the course that it ruins the watching experience for me. I don't know a better way to stage it, however.

Mexico CityIt's hard not to adore a city that has authored a bold 15-year initiative called Plan Verde (Green Plan). Now roughly half way through those 15 years, Mexico City is transforming itself from one of the world's most polluted cities to one that's environmentally friendly and progressive. But there's more: Mexico City's thriving business district now offers up splendid international cuisine and world-class shopping. Of course, it's still possible to knock back tequila at any grand old cantina or groove to world-class DJs on a rooftop terrace at any number of new hotels in Mexico City. And yes, mariachi bands still stroll Plaza de Garibaldi. Nor is it far from most any of the Mexico City hotels to the 12-block Zona Rosa and its antiques and boutique clothing. In the historic center, stone carvings of the Templo Mayor still harken back to the Aztecs. Below find a list of our selection of boutique and luxury hotels in Mexico City.

Grand Theft Auto Planned For PSP
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games
Yes, you did read the title correctly. GTA on the PSP. Now there's yet another reason to add to the top reasons to get a PSP. According to BBC News, this announcement came right after "the UK games industry posted record sales figures." According to these figures, GTA: San Andreas sold more than 1 million copies in the first day that it was on sale. My guess is that this game will be one of the most highly anticipated games for the PSP. What better than to inflict some havoc on some poor defenseless city on your way to work on the subway or while waiting patiently at the doctor's office.
