Brewing a good cup is an art form, and Mrs. Teapots has some of the best leaf-steepers in Northern Kentucky. Try sweet or fruity teas such as Bavarian chocolate crème, Forever Yours almond amaretto, and peach apricot, or sip a simple Earl Grey. High-strung leaf drinkers can mellow out with decaf offerings or try whatever unusual brews were just added to Mrs. Teapots carefully curated selection of domestic and imported leaves. One of Mrs. Teapots' friendly servers can help you choose an electrifyingly tranquil tea that dances upon your tongue and steams down your throat to warm you from core to crust.
Setting up shop in a formerly run-down launderette, Lavomatic Cafe provides an opportunity to dine on hearty fare without attracting uncomfortable leers from surrounding shirt-folders. Charming exposed pipes and soft tones accentuate Lavomatic's décor, which creates a perfect setting for sampling the establishment's well-stocked wine bar. The menu offers a modest yet satisfying selection of comforting classics with a twist, like when grandma gets tipsy and mixes acids with bases. Start with small bites such as tater tots with chives, cheddar, parmesan, and ranch ($7.33). Warm up with tomato bisque ($5.35) or a fish sandwich with gruyere on an onion bun ($9.40). Refresh the palate with a fusion of flavors thanks to the pesto penne with kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and tomato confit ($15.16) or smoked pork chops with Sheltowee Farm mushrooms and red wine caramel ($20.47). Sharable sides such as cornbread ($2.92) and onion straws ($3.64) are also available.
Though the family-oriented grill's atmosphere mostly recalls a comfy Mexican restaurant (down to the homemade chips and salsa greeting you at the table), the menu touts tastes from across the globe. Try the signature Hawaiian-style ribs ($13.99 half order, $24.99 whole) marinated and grilled in a secret-recipe Jack Daniel's barbecue sauce, or take a Bavarian turn with the mett-n-kraut ($12.99), a German-style minced pork with sauerkraut on rye bread. Otherwise, opt for something more Italian such as the homemade meat or vegetarian lasagna ($12.99). Classic Tostado's burgers ($8.49) with your choice of toppings (including mushrooms, bacon, barbecue, and Swiss, Provolone, or American cheese) and reubens ($8.99) bring the around-the-world menu back home. True to its name, though, Tostado's also serves up Mexican dishes that range from familiar burritos ($9.99–$11.99, depending on filling) and quesadillas ($9.99–$11.99) to the creative Mexican hot dog ($6.99), which comes with sour cream, mustard, and pico de gallo.
Hyde Park Pizzaria specializes in NY-style pies, baked to crispy, thin-crust perfection in brick ovens. Chefs produce fresh, homemade dough daily for their pizzas and top them with the freshest ingredients, including tomatoes so alive they frequently escape from the store and hurl themselves at unfortunate actors. Pizzas range from $6 for a small plain (9") to $11 for a large plain (15"). You can also order up the brood-pleasing plain family size (14"x18") for $14. All your favorite toppings, from pepperoni to jalapeno peppers, are available for extra. Specialty pies range from $8.50 for a small to $16.50 for a large, or $19.75 for family size. The Meat Supreme comes loaded with the fruit of the beasts: tons of pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, and extra cheese. You can order up a rival pizza with the Veggie Supreme, holding mushrooms, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, green olives, and extra cheese. The Meatball comes with homemade meatballs, and the Deluxe Seven features a most-wanted combo of pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, bacon, and extra cheese. It is certifiably the most delicious number-based food, except possibly algebra flash cards dipped in marinara.
Essencha's leisurely tea lunch begins with your selection of either a hot pot of tea or a shot of matcha (finely milled green tea). The tea house lets you choose from over 70 varieties of high-quality blacks, oolongs, greens, whites, rooibos, herbals, and organic flavors. Essencha's passionate staff of tea-totalers will help you navigate this voluminous variety until you find the tea you never knew you craved. Next, a soup of the day or miso soup stretches tongue tendons, followed by a fruit salad or a café salad with seasonal greens, veggies, dried fruit, pine nuts, and lemon vinaigrette. After you fill up on finger sandwiches with your non-teacupped free hand, enjoy a scone paired with clotted cream and jam. A cupcake or triple-chocolate-chunk brownie caps off a meal fit for tea tycoons and tea-drinking raccoons alike.

Ferguson: I hate "lover"! I think it sounds so pretentious and like that "Saturday Night Live" skit with Will Ferrell and Rachel Dratch in the hot tub eating turkey. I've always found the term fiance in gay or straight relationships to be completely strange. It doesn't sound English or American at all. I love calling Justin "the lover I've taken on," but he doesn't care for that. So I just say "boyfriend." I think there's something really sweet and innocent about it.
CNN: A lot of boyfriends, and girlfriends in Maine, Maryland and Washington got some good news on Election Day when same-sex marriage was legalized in those states by popular vote.
Ferguson: I have such mixed feelings about it. Obviously, I'm so happy these states won marriage equality. It's also very tough for me. I went through it with Proposition 8 (in California), seeing the majority vote on the minority's rights. It's incredibly hard to swallow. I just feel like it shouldn't be up to the majority to vote on a minority's civil rights.
I'm thrilled that we are slowly making progress, and we have to make progress however we can. But I do look forward to the day we stop putting it in the hands of the states and make it a national thing. This is America and (marriage equality) should be part of the "United" part of our country.
CNN: What do you see as the biggest challenge between where things are now and the protection of same-sex marriage under federal law?
Ferguson: We're in a great place. There's a forward movement on this issue, and for many young Americans it's a nonissue. But one stumbling block is the lack of education about marriage equality.
I feel like there's a fear that the definition of marriage will be changed. Nobody's looking to change the meaning of what it means to be married. We just want to add to who has the right. It's the same thing as women wanting the right to vote. They weren't going to change the meaning of going to the polls and putting the card in the ballot; they just wanted the right to vote.
CNN: And whether you're voting or getting married, who doesn't like to wear a nice bow tie, right? Why did you pick this accessory as the cornerstone of your foundation?
Ferguson: I selfishly wanted to get involved in the fashion world anyway, but in a way that didn't feel like a huge undertaking. So I thought about what I like to wear and also what is literally the smallest piece of clothing I could possibly design. So we came up with the bow-tie line. It was Justin's idea to incorporate it into the foundation. We thought -- why don't we kill two birds with one stone? We'll start a bow-tie line and funnel the proceeds into a foundation for marriage equality. Then Justin came up with the idea of Tie the Knot, which just perfectly marries those two ideas.
CNN: I think people will appreciate the symbolism. Also, it matches your character in "Modern Family." I imagine your cast mates have been supportive. The chemistry there really seems to go beyond the set. Is that the case?

I have found this site just as helpful as sitting down and chatting for 2 hours with a local semi-retired locksmith, who was a wealth of knowledge!I'm currently a business student in college at Stevens Point, WI; I'm also a big fan of locks and security . I have some background in business as far as operations, accounting and liability. I'm looking to start up a business in Green Bay, WI, which only has (as far as I can tell) one major player in the industry. The town has a population of 102313 and surround populations of about 50,000. As far as demand, I have no doubt I could get enough business. I'm at the point of preparing a business plan to present to a bank to get the credit I need for a Business Line of Credit to get started up. I have not yet filed for a name as an LLC with the state of Wisconsin, but will hopefully begin that process soon. I'm turning to all of you, the true experts, for any advice you might have about starting up in my situation. I have an income currently of about $1000 a month working part time at a bank as I attend school. Because of this, I don't have very many tools. What I do have is an abundance of picks, bump keys and experience opening pin tumbler locks. I also ordered an auto opening tool set that was recommended to me by the local guy who I had dinner with. I don't believe I'm allowed to say the name on here because it's only allowed in the advanced forums . Also, I'm getting an HPC Premier Speedex 9160MC from another member of this forum from the Buy, Sell Trade section of the site . What other tools will I need to start off? I'm thinking that I can buy and outfit a used commercial van, then work from my apartment and be totally mobile until I can afford to rent commercial space. Or should I simply go right for the commercial space and immediately start building up merchandise that is commonly needed? I'm also planning on attending the local ALOA meeting next month and becoming a member and becoming certified as soon as possible. I realize there are ups and downs, but from a business aspect I feel that the marketing benefits to 'Licensed, Bonded and Insured' will greatly outweigh any other arguments . For an abstract I'm planning on finishing this year at college, and possibly one more year here at Stevens Point. In the time I'm here I want to gain as much knowledge as I can about the trade, collect as many tools as possible with my meager bank wage , and get some experience; possibly working part time for free for a local locksmith. Also having my marketing campaign all lined up (basically yellow page advertising. I plan on moving to the city about a month before the advertising would hit the streets and get settled in), insurance planned, registered and licensed by the ALOA, and bonded. Let me know what you think!!! EVERYTHING you guys have to say will be very much appreciated, even if you think it might be repetitive, please reply!Thanks!Ben, an Aspiring Locksmith

I've been tring to wait until after the September class before I go out buying all my big ticket food prep items. But, a few weeks ago I had some awesome carrot juice. It sustained me for hours. I bought a glass the next day, and again delicious. Then I tried the carrot and orange combo. Yummy.
So the owner of this little bodega type store is charging three bucks for @ a 12 oz cup. He uses straight produce no fillers or other stuff like Smoothie King or Wild Oats. not even ice or water. The only thing is all the wasted carrot shavings.
So I went home and made some juice and cut up carrots.I used a blender as I don't have a juicer. The flavor was good but the pulp gross. I had to force it down.
The bodega is 30 miles from my house and at $3 a pop surely it would be more efficient, green and enjoyable for me to juice at home. Since my family still eats cooked I could make carrot cake, with the pulp, every other day until I purchase a dehydrator.
Is this reasonable logic and would a $50 juicer do the trick?
I really want a vitamixer, which would be a later big purchase, but will it puree carots fine enough so that I dont have to chew my drinks?

Check out this one:
Product description on the Accutire Programmable Digital Tire Gauge: Accutire's programmable digital tire gauge is an easy-to-use, multi-featured gauge with an extra large, blue, back-lit LCD screen and ergonomic styling. It measures PSI from 5-99 pounds in 0.5-pound units, and includes the patent-protected Set Point programmable feature which allows for recording the factory-recommended tire pressure for both front and rear tires. Other helpful features include a white LED flashlight to make checking tire pressure at night or in the garage a cinch; an audible pressure signal; auto off; and a five-year manufacturer warranty.
My take on the product: This is a very cool gadget that will help make your tires last longer because you can easily program the tire gauge to the recommended PSI and check them whenever you are going to travel or whenever you are concerned with your tires. The digital reading is easy to understand and very accurate. This little hot product also comes with a 5 year warranty and a LED white flashlight to make it easy to check the pressure in the dark! NOW those two features are great! This would make a great present for anyone on your Christmas shopping list (well those who own a car :)

News & Analysis
CES: Too many cooks dumbing down smart TV?
Junko Yoshida
LAS VEGAS – Smart TV is turning out to be a slow learner, through no fault of its own.
As evidenced at CES here on Monday (Jan. 7), leading TV makers like LG, Samsung and Panasonic are scrambling to redefine smart TV, adding their own twist to the smart TV platform, with features ranging from magic remote and personalization to speech recognition.
Many of these new developments are simultaneously fascinating and confusing.
The original motivation behind smart TV was that it promised universal content search for TV viewing across Internet, TV broadcast, video-on-demand streaming and social media. Ed Border, senior analyst for TV systems research at IHS, said "the basic need for an environment where consumers can browse all the linear TV and Internet content, and choose one they want to watch" still exists, and "Google, Samsung, LG, Panasonic and others are fighting for this."
The power of smart TV search "will lie in the content deals and aggregation that platforms can achieve," explained Border. At a time when smart TV remains fragmented, no one has come up with a smart TV with complete control over the growing amount of content, apps and services.
Rather than drawing more attention to its incomplete video content search capability, smart TV advocates are now shifting focus to peripheral matters like user interfaces.
LG's magic remote
LG Electronics CTO Scott Ahn, for example, observed: "Smart TVs have many smart features. But the way consumers interact with smart TV isn't smart." LG's solution is a "magic remote" for its proprietary smart TV. The remote "lets consumers write the numbers to change channels, allows users to speak to the remote instead of a TV, or lets users to do one finger gesture, instead of strenuous arm gestures," Ahn explained.
LG's magic remote for Google TV.
The flip side of LG's magic remote for Google TV showing QWERTY keyboard.
A keyboard doesn't take the place of other remotes (ie direct tv or uverse) but it does allow good solo operation of web services.. I don't really think that it's necessary to have a universal TV interface. As long as they enable access to the most desired services, that's good enough. I'm still wondering who is actually using apple tv or google tv. I don't understand the value prop...
"The power of smart TV search 'will lie in the content deals and aggregation that platforms can achieve,' explained Border."
Absolutely not.
Honestly, I'm at a loss why there's this mental block on the subject of smart TVs.
I do agree with those who mentioned features like voice recognition, or other local bells and whistles, although those are also not necessary. But on this content thing, why do people make such a big deal of content, when there already are so many content aggregation sites out there that anyone can use?
Do tablets and smartphones sell because their manufacturers have walled off a lot of content? No. Do HDTVs sell because the manufacturers walled off content? Also no.
People already have their content sources figured out, and anyone who uses Internet TV knows that ever more portals become available over time, without any one CE vendor having to make any special deals with anyone. If anything, it is the attempt at making special deals that have gotten vendors, such as Apple and Google, in trouble with the owners of the TV content, in the past.
Perhaps I misunderstand what the word "platforms" referred to, in the quote.
I took it to mean the smart TVs themselves. If, instead, it refers to Web sites that aggregate TV content, like Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, YouTube, the cable and satellite companies themselves, and a long list of other more obscure sites that already exist, then I would agree.
Just making the point that there is no lack of content aggregation on the Internet already. So there's no reason to make it sound like this still neeeds to happen.
I still am not sure I understand your point.
Your answer to this example may help me understand.
I have a show I want to watch, say "No Reservations" by Anthony Bourdain and I have a smart TV (or Roku box, or Blu-ray player with the smart features) and accounts on Netflix, Amazon Prime (streaming) and Vudu.
Using the smart TV features (not a website via a browser), how to I find out 1) if this show is available to watch; 2) which service?
Ideally, I would have some way to type or search for this once, and then a "supervisor" feature would automatically find and start playing the TV show.
Which content aggregation or smart TV feature already provides this?
Get this right, then the vastly more difficult task of coming up with something worth watching.
Is that LG 'Magic Remote' ugly like something out of the 1970's, or is it just plain ugly? Yuck!
Frank Eory
I was thinking the same thing. A black brick with a bunch of buttons and a keyboard on the back? How innovative...
I have an Xbox, Samsung Smart TV and an Apple TV box. I work abroad and rely on a broadband connection to view TV programs.
I find all these devices are too limited in what you can watch.
Xbox have the right idea with its 24 hour baseball channel but so far that's about it. There are hardly any stations allowing access through the Smart TV.
Whatever remote comes with a smart TV, hopefully the makers allow folks to program them with an app on their smart phones too.
My question to LG Electronics' CTO Scott Ahn (who says "Smart TVs have many smart features. But the way consumers interact with SmartTV isn't smart.") would be: why not get rid of the remote for SmartTV altogether? If your TV is so smart, has built-in camera, why not implement gesture-based and speech-based commands? While you are there, implement facial recognition so I can train my SmartTV to differentiate my commands to those of my kids.
MP Divakar
Uggh, just uggh. Until these smart TV's have i3's embedded and run XBMC as the default I'm just not interested.
Gesture and voice control? A remote is faster, more accurate and a hell of a lot easier for me to program.
Streamed gaming services are interesting but my Steam account is better.
I have a smart TV now and the only time I use the "smart" features is when I press the wrong button on my Harmony remote.
@Servase: I agree a remote is faster... my point being (to the appliance makers) don't make things unnecessarily complex. If so many features are crammed into a remote and consumers are expected to 'learn' and adapt to those, then keep those expectations low! As Duane comments below, a good majority could not set the clock on their VCRs!
Gesture and speech-based control today is still primitive. Give it time, they will improve to the point of getting rid of remotes.
I hope I live long enough to have a holodeck in my house -that would be truly an immersive experience!
MP Divakar
Duane Benson
Sometimes I wonder if the manufacturers consider the majority buyer when decking out TVs with all of these features. The audience of EE-Times may appreciate web access, apps and a remote with a full keyboard on it. In the context of consumer electronics, however, "smart" should mean the the device is smart, not that the user has to be smart.
When VCRs (video cassette recorders for you youngsters) were in every house, the running joke was that no one could program them and most of them spent their days with "12:00" blinking on the front panel, indicating that the clock hadn't even been set.
With a user interface track record like that, I don't expect so called "smart" TV's to gain any more acceptance than 3D TVs have.
I just think why not just make TV kernel like smart phone core with a super big screen. Let user figure out what kind of content service they want to install and see on the TV.
Some Guy
Just got a smart TV and they clearly haven't figured it out, yet. It comes with wireless, yet doesn't hardly use it. It's on my LAN (WiFi), and so are all the new Blu-Ray players and Game Boxes, so why do I need HDMI cables any more? Why can't I wirelessly display Windows from my PC on it? The value it brings is a physically large, high definition display that sips electricity and talks WiFi. Why is there a iPhone app that gives me a remote that does the keyboard inputs nicely, but can't talk to my cable box, or my PC? It doesn't have the horsepower to display my iPhone videos without skipping every 2 seconds, and can't (won't?) display my iTunes videos. Finally, where is the Windows PC app?
Frank Eory
The quote from the analyst says it all: "the basic need for an environment where consumers can browse all the linear TV and Internet content, and choose one they want to watch still exists..."
We live in a vast universe of content -- linear content either from a MVPD or streamed from the internet, and on-demand content from the MVPD, from local DVR storage and also from the internet. But to search any of that content, to have any clue about what one might want to watch and how to find it, we still rely on keyboards or black brick remotes filled with buttons, and we rely on multiple portals to do the searching -- everything from a web browser to a primitive hierarchical on-demand menu system to the 1980s-style spreadsheet interface that still dominates program guides.
Smart TV has gone almost nowhere since the day that phrase was invented. It's a shame too, because the market need is there, the content is there and the consumer frustration is there.
Consumers are reminded of this every time they turn on their "smart TV" and realize there are literally millions of things they could potentially watch at that moment, but the vast majority of those things would require some real effort to search, make a decision, and then push all the right buttons to start the delivery process.
Smart consumer, dumb TV.
I see no reason to assume that consumers become brain-dead only when watching TV.
Consumers have become perfectly capable of searching the web for anything they need. There are already TV content aggregation sites aplenty out there, including portals run by each of the major TV networks, and a bunch of others I already mentiuoned above. Plus, new ones seem to pop up on a regular basis. Just search, using any search engine you prefer. Smart TVs should have access to all of this.
As to remotes, how hard is it to provide a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard with the TV? Everyone knows how to use these devices already. What's the big deal?
Once the smart TV owner has set up his "bookmarks" or "favorites," on the TV's browser, he can do all of his channel searching with the mouse alone. Sitting on the couch next to him. This is really, really easy.
My suggestion to everyone out there who's looking for a smart TV, just buy yourself a PC to dedicate to this task. PCs are pretty cheap these days, and HDTVs can very easily be used as the PC monitor. This way, you needn't wait for the CE companies to figure this out.
Frank Eory
You're thinking of this like an engineer Bert, and also assuming that consumers will know exactly what they want to watch and how to search for it.
Instead imagine an intelligent assistant -- pardon me if I make the analogy of "Siri for video" -- where a child could ask, for example, to see something about African jungle animals, and the assistant would fetch a list of age-appropriate content on that subject. Or an adult could say "I'm looking for a sci-fi film that came out in the 90s in which the main character is a robot" but he forgets the name of the film.
A mouse and a keyboard for watching TV? That is a non-starter for almost everyone. If I want to go that route, I have a desktop computer in the other room, so why do I even need a TV at all in the main room? Oh yeah, because I want to sit on the sofa, relax and be entertained, and I don't want to expend a lot of effort in the process :)
All true, Frank, but honestly, I've done this and it's so much easier than people might think.
The searching for TV content is done like searching for anything else. No doubt, if people or CE companies get serious about Internet TV, search engines will be tweaked to make this easier. And too, I see no reason to raise the bar so much higher for TV content search than it is for any other search. I found all manner of TV content online, including cool portals no one ever mentions, simply by using Webcrawler. (Note: not insisting that Google is the only search engine.)
As to the remote mouse and keyboard, I can guarantee you that using a mouse is easier and more flexible than a using a typical TV remote. And the keyboard is used very rarely. Mainly, it would be used to set up new bookmarks, or to use the search engine, Once you've got your huge assortment of sites set up, you browse away with the mouse alone, while relaxing on the sofa. Optical mice work perfectly well on a sofa.
Siri is fine too, I'm not saying otherwise. It's just that I don't think the smart TV solution HAS to be dramatically more advanced and sophisticated than what PCs and tablets are capable of, in order to succeed.
Like Bert, I use a PC as a TV interface/portal and exclusively use a keyboard/mouse instead of a dedicated remote control. I think it all comes down as to how you views televisions in the big sense. I gave up on the notion that TV's are passive devices for entertainment. My television is nothing more than an oversized display which means the real power is at the other end of the HDMI cable.
Manufacturers are still clinging onto the old model that "The TV is the is the content source". I'm not going to spend %500 to upgrade it every 18 months because they put new hardware inside for a better YouTube experience. However, if it was an external device for $100, then I might consider it.
Smart TV should learn from Microsoft Xbox.
1) With Xbox you can navigate the menu by pointing in the air (if you buy the external Kinect sensor)
2) Xbox has instant fast user menu (vs Samsung TV menu which is very slow to load)
3) Xbox are gradually rolling out live TV network stations dedicated to sports,news and movies. Smart TV (ref. Samsung) is so far behind in obtaining licensing agreements.
Smart TVs should learn from the Xbox a few lesssons.
1. Having a fast easy to navigate system is good. My Smart TV has tons of built in apps which takes a long time to scroll through to get to the one or two I use. The Xbox has many more capabilities but it move quickly through the menus and has a single place to look for the stuff I actually use.
2. The XBox provide HD and enough power to be the Smart in the Smart TV link. However to watch NetFlix I have to pay Microsoft for a Gold subscription so I can pay NetFlix for the content. Luckily my smart TV can do NetFlix directly but my Smart TV cannot view content outside the walled garden of built in apps because the DLNA capability does not seem to want to work with much of anything.
In my mind the Smart in TVs should be able being about to talk to content sources. The TVs should be able to query the content sources whether it is a Blue-Ray player, an online source, my own server, or a cable box. I should be able to interact with the TV to select the content I want and the TV interacts with the source to get that content.
With some physically limitations of course such as the Disc has to be loaded into the player. But why can't the TV tell the player to play or pause the content. A single remote control because the TV is the center of the human interface.
Instead of spending money on getting licensing deals and adding new apps to a TV, just create a standard interface and protocal to talk with content providers. This allows focusing on improving that one piece of software that talks to any provider who wants to talk.
Outside of the TV world we call this a browser application and it uses the IP protocol to communication with any other computer in the world.

About Me Grandparent
Comments about One Step Ahead 26 Piece Puzzle Mat Letters Foam Play Mat:
My grandson crawls in comfort on this mat. I can seat comfortably and play with him. It comes apart easily to show him the letters in the mat. I just wish it were larger or less expensive because I'd buy another one or two to fill our floor.
Loved it until it fell apart
By JoJo's Circus

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I loved this letter puzzle mat as a soft flooring, teaching letters and words, and just general play. Also, when stored, it makes a great sitting stool or stool for little ones to reach countertops when helping in the kitchen. I would give it five stars, but the red parts started disintegrating after a few years. It was only the red and I'm not sure why.
This was my 3rd order
By Bin Ma
from Loveland, CO
A recent move to a house with cold concrete floor in the sun room prompted us to order more of these mats to cover the entire area. The grandbabies now have a very cheerful and much safer play area.
Love this set!

About Me First Time Parent
We purchased this set along with the 10 piece number set and the border pieces about 9 months ago and love them. We have hardwood floors and my 6 month old had just started sitting up on his own so we wanted something softer for him to play on. These floormats fit the bill perfectly! My son is about to turn 16 months and we still use them and want to purchase more for his play room. One of the things I loved the most about the product was that you could purchase borders for a more finished look.
Love it!!!
By Stasha11
from Chicago, IL
I love playing with my son on this mat! It's bright and colorful but also safe and sturdy. It does a great job of dividing an open room by defining a separate play area. Much better quality than mats I've seen in stores, while in the same price range. It comes cleaner than the floor or carpeting does so I don't worry if he is on his tummy playing with toys in his mouth.
Great purchase

My 8 month old granddaughter is just learning to crawl,move around from place to place and these mats provide a safe surface for her.

It flakes off!
By patice
from Hamden, CT
I bought this mat because it looked beautiful and thick enough to protect my kid from bumping his head on the floor when he was learning to seat, crawl, etc. At the begining we loved it, but after a few months the red pieces started to peal off! There were flakes everywhere, it was a nightmare! Not recommendable for infants and toddlers! We don't wear shoes in the house, so it is not like you can say that our shoes damaged the mat. Plus, as I said it was only the red pieces flaking off. It's a shame because the mat is otherwise lovely, especially because it is really thick and colorful.
Good quality, very functional
By KC
from Washington, DC
It's great for my 5 month old. He has a safe play area and loves feeling all the different textures. And I know it's going to be great as he grows older - it will be a puzzle but also a learning tools for colors and letters. Definitely recommend.
By Sasha
from Queens, NY
I bought one for my then 17 months old daughter. She loved it as soon as I opened up the box. And so did we, my husband and I. It is easy to clean, the colors are so pretty for a child's room. In addition, it is warmer to sit on the mats than just floor. I loved it so much that I got a set for my new niece, as well as "set of numbers" and just solid colors for both of them.
Great Product!
By D & J
from New Brunswick, Canada
I love this for my son, but I am afraid it is not going to work for a learning aid as I had hoped; it is hard to see the letters when there are toys over them. However, it is thick enough that he is not taking the pieces apart all of the time (this was a problem I had with a different set). It provides a nice cushion for when he stumbles.
Great product
By JB
from Chicago
We have a small apartment and this floor crated little space for our 4 month old in our living room. It's not too soft which I was afraid off and is perfect on our hardwood floor. We've been using it for over a month now and I don't see any signs that it's been used.
By Mommy to 4
from NC
These are much better than any other mats I have owned. They are thicker, and are much easier to keep clean! The only negative is there is an obnoxious smell.
Great alphabet mat!
By Papa
from Canyonville, Or
16 years ago this made a wonderful safe toy for a two year old to build forts and then knock them apart knocking the letters out. Then it became a great tactile alphabet teaching tool. Just bought it for his 21 month old brother. Quality is high like 16 years ago and the cycle of life begins again. Grand kids are so much fun.
piece of mind
By Mom of 2
from Centereach, ny
We use this mat for my 8 month old who is rolling and starting to crawl. I don't have carpet as I did with my daughter, so I was always afraid to put him on the floor. With this mat I am less worried about him hitting his head. I put it down when he is on the floor and pick it up when he is done. Love the little storage bag. Great product. I will be ordering the numbers to make it biger to put in the playroom.

Buy it :-)
By Mama to Little Ethan
from Buffalo
I looked at these letters several times over a 6-8 month period, compared it to other mats, debated whether it was a good idea....So glad I decided to purchase it, you don't need all the borders just the letters will do, great to have a place where we can lay out all his toys at playtime.As an added benefit it makes a great photo backdrop - I can't tell you how many great photos I ended up with while my son played on this mat already.

But diversity is more than numbers. It is also about ensuring that female candidates are being considered for a variety of positions, said Jennifer Lawless, director of Women & Politics Institute at American University.
"Nobody believes there's any overt discrimination," Lawless said pointing at women who occupy top posts in the Obama administration.
"Defense and Treasury: Those are male-dominated issues and frontiers, and those are the areas where woman still have to shore up their credentials and prove themselves more," Lawless said.
"We've reached a point in time where the Cabinets have become increasingly diverse. The next challenge is to make sure we're not pigeonholing women into those positions," she said.

BELFOR Oklahoma emergency teams are on-site in Moore, OK helping with the recovery efforts following a devastating EF-5 tornado. The local offices are reinforced by the on-site presence of BELFOR's National Disaster Team which deployed equipment and resources along with emergency response specialists from coast to coast.
Please keep the affected communities in your thoughts as the rebuilding process continues.
BELFOR CEO Sheldon Yellen will be featured on Epic Bosses, a special episode of UNDERCOVER BOSS that will provide fans of the show with updated information on some of the most compelling episodes. This fourth season finale will air Friday, May 17 at 8:00-9:00 ET/PT.
The BELFOR episode of the show first aired on January 16, 2011. Over 13 million viewers tuned in to see Sheldon disguised as Tom Kelly try his hand at installing drywall, removing soot and inspecting a crawl space. The episode was one of the most popular ones of the entire series, and has since aired repeatedly in the United States and overseas.
Sheldon's expressive demeanor, as well his concern for his employees, was so powerful that the episode received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality Program in 2011.
BELFOR National Safety Director and head of BELFOR Environmental Larry Holder, CR, received the Restoration Industry Association's [RIA] highest honor, the Martin L. King Award, at the 2013 Leadership Summit and Industry Expo in Las Vegas, NV, April 23- 25. The award recognizes exceptional service and dedication to the restoration industry. Larry has been in the industry for over 20 years, and during that time, he has served on critical task forces and advisory committees that created essential industry standards and guidelines for the RIA.
"To have been selected for the Martin L. King Award from among the many highly deserving RIA volunteers is truly an honor," said Holder. RIA represents over 20,000 professionals from 1,100 member firms. BELFOR is the only restoration company that now has had two recipients of this award.
BELFOR Sterling has again won the prestigious Chrysalis Award, 2013 National Award for Residential Insurance Reconstruction, after the custom rebuilding of a fire-damaged home in the Washington DC area. Senior Estimator Bruce Cook and his team not only handled the emergency services and restoration, but they also worked with the family to reconfigure the interior space, upgrading and expanding the kitchen, adding dormers and converting the attic into additional living space.
The BELFOR Sterling office has been a regional as well as a national winner of the Chrysalis Award in commercial and residential categories over the years, and has previously won a Decade of Excellence Award reflecting their long-term commitment to excellence and professionalism.

how about losing to Loki and Nerrad twice. I got screwed in all 4 games vs these guys. Drew Brees lit me up for 11 td passed in 2 games. Nerrad lit me up with the titans RB in the first game and in the second game and that POS Packer TE lights me up for 2 TDS on monday night game. lol
The only thing positive about this years league was not losing to Motownbear. lol
I lost this season cause I invested a pick on Hester lol but at least I won last year
my brother won the pot this season.
hopefully next year I have time to play in the dabear league so that a catastrophe like nerrad winning wont happen again lol
i kicked some ass this year. Chris Johnson was the mvp of fantasy football.
still waiting for you to be a superfan bud
tonight or tomorrow ill do it.
lol I was on a crazy regular season streak after trades with Benj(thx btw). The bye killed my flow and I got smashed in my first playoff game.

Internet Security CentreMobile SecurityMobile Protection ResourcesBullGuard plays down fears over 99% Android security hole
The recent reports indicated that a massive 99% of Android phones are vulnerable to attacks caused by improper implementation of authentication protocols, leaving personal information open to theft by third parties and resulting in growing concern about the safety of user data. This threat isn't new, however, and needn't be as big an issue as originally suggested.
"This is something we've known about for some time" states mobile security expert with BullGuard, Claus Villumsen. "It was first discovered in February 2011 by random independent groups and it's piqued the interest of other parties only recently. Though there are things the end-user can do to avoid being caught out, it is down to software manufacturers and vendors to update their applications so that they can use a more secure, encrypted protocol to manage data" he continues.
With the responsibility ultimately lying with Google to provide a solution, it has, already offered a software update that fixes the problem in the form of Android 2.3.4, but the issue for many users will be getting hold of the patch.
"Providers are typically quite slow in offering Android updates to Smartphone users, and it can be a frustrating wait for many who would consider themselves to be needlessly subjected to threats and other problems that have already been fixed" says Villumsen. In response, Google is reportedly working more closely with wireless carriers in order to provide Android updates to consumers in a more timely fashion.
In the meantime, there are steps users can take to help ensure they are not a victim of this latest attack, and BullGuard is advising consumers to, where possible, use a secure HTTPS protocol from a web browser rather than proprietary software to synchronise data and access services such as Picasa.
"Applications such as Facebook started using client-server communication in encrypted/secured formats, so this issue has been fixed by app providers, albeit slower that we'd have wished" states Claus Villumsen. "The flaw is strictly dependent on whether the application knows how to use HTTPS or other communication venues that support encryption so it will mainly be up to the software developers/vendors to fix it. In the meantime, our advice to users is to avoid synchronizing information over unsecured wireless networks, since that is the root of all problems" he concludes.

Man Fights for Daughter's Citizenship
By: Kristin Anderson
Updated: January 30, 2013
"According to the laws when they were born, the laws in effect, they were born American citizens," said Carl Reeves.
"Now is the time to find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as the land of opportunity," said President Obama Tuesday.
The day after a plan to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants, Reeves doesn't understand why he has to pay to prove his daughter's citizenship when she should already be an American citizen.
"Why am I submitting a form for her to be something she already is?" asked Reeves.
She was born to an American father and Filipino mother, but the Philippine hospital made a mistake and didn't do what it should have.
"She, at that time, didn't know that the hospital where they were born, they gave her a deal but they didn't, they apparently didn't report it to the immigration," Reeves explained.
Now Reeves has to submit a form and pay $600 to prove her citizenship. This coming after he left his job after his wife has become sick and is going through chemo.
"All the paper that we've got says that they are American citizens. And her green card is about to expire. And i thought, well why should i pay for her to have a green card that don't give her citizenship when all these other people are getting it for free and she's already an American," said Reeves.
She may be, but convincing the federal government of that is most likely going to take a fight.

Comments about Sherwood Elite Fins:
As a follow up to my first review I finally got these puppies wet. Spent 2 hours snorkelling and got 2 dives on them as well. These did not disappoint. Very light weight. Easy to put on in the water or on deck. Easy to remove in the water while maintaing a hold on the fin thanks to the heel strap.The slightly positive buoyancy allowed for a better trim. In current at the surface you don't need to kick hard to move against it. Note however that I'm a strong kicker. These fins are very powerful and efficient.Thanks to sherwood for producing these excellent fins with XL sizes of 13 and 14s.
Comment on this review
So far so good
I just got my fins today so haven't got them wet yet. I did however want to post a review as reviews for these fins are non-existent making it harder for online customers to purchase.Firstly, get the sizing right. Sherwood has sizing for these fins on their site. I used this to validate my size and it fits well. I wear size 13 with width of 2E/EE shoes. With my size 13, 5mm hard sole boots I get a comfortable and snug fit. As the straps aren't adjustable sizing becomes even more important. If you wear 14s as long as you are a 2E/EE you should be ok. Note I tried the fins dry not wet and we know wet makes a big difference.Secondly. I like the silicone heel strap as an alternative to spring straps. It seems very solid. Obviously they won't have a working life comparable to SS springs but I get the feeling they don't affect the buoyancy and allows the fin to remain light weight.Come weekend I will get these babies wet and see how they perform both snorkeling and scuba so for now I can't talk about efficiency. From the outside they look exceptional added to the fact they have an extremely comfortable foot pocket where the upper portion appears to be "rubber" hence the comfort and a plastic like foot plate. This alone makes these more comfortable than my other scuba fins which I love dearly.Lastly I can't forget LP. Thank you for the quick delivery and satisfying my order to perfection.

'Homeland' (Showtime) |
Showtime's "Homeland" has won the Golden Globe award for best television drama series for the second year in a row. It triumphed over a field that included "Breaking Bad" (AMC), "The Newsroom" (HBO), "Downton Abbey" (PBS) and "Boardwalk Empire" (HBO).
The series wrapped its second season on Showtime in December. Based on an Israeli series called "Hatufim," it stars Claire Danes as a psychologically troubled CIA agent who believes that a U.S. Marine, played by Damian Lewis, has been turned by Al Qaeda after eight years in captivity. The show premiered to rave reviews in 2011 and swept the Emmys this past September, but some critics were less pleased with the dramatic plot twists of the second season.
"Breaking Bad," about the downward spiral of a cancer-stricken high school chemistry teacher turned crystal meth kingpin played by Bryan Cranston, has been nominated for numerous Emmys. But it has proved a tougher sell with the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. This is the first time the show was nominated in the series category, and only the second nomination for Cranston, who won the lead actor Emmy for three years running. The final eight episodes of "Breaking Bad" will air on AMC later this year.

Set in Prohbition-era Atlantic City and featuring Steve Buscemi as a crooked-politician-turned-gangster, "Boardwalk Empire" recently wrapped its third season on HBO. It won in 2011. "Boardwalk Empire"also starsGretchen Mol, Michael Shannon and Kelly Macdonald."Downton Abbey" airs in the U.S. as part of the long-running "Masterpiece" series, and garnered record ratings for its third season premiere Jan. 6. The British-made show follows the trials and tribulations of the aristocratic Crawley family and their team of servants. It stars Maggie Smith, Dan Stevens, Hugh Bonneville and Michelle Dockery.
"The Newsroom," a behind-the-scenes look at a fictional news show starring Jeff Daniels as a flawed but idealistic anchor, was considered a long shot going into the evening. Created by Oscar-winning writer Aaron Sorkin, the series was met with fierce criticism when it premiered last year. However, the backlash wasn't enough to sour the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., which nominated "The Newsroom" over favorites like "Mad Men" and "Game of Thrones."
The Golden Globes are being held at the Beverly Hilton and are being televised on NBC.

4dr Sdn H4 Man 2.5i
Starting at $16,600 | Starting at 19 MPG City - 27 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
With a fresh interior and exterior in 2010, the 2011 Subaru Legacy continues as a sophisticated mid-size sedan with excellent road manners, ample room and standard all-wheel drive. Powering the Legacy is your choice of three horizontally opposed boxer engines, starting with a 2.5-liter 170-hp H4, peppy 2.5-liter 265-hp turbocharged H4 or the torquey 3.6-liter six-cylinder with 256-hp. With a 5-speed automatic, 6-speed manual or CVT transmission, the Legacy achieves up to 19/27 mpg city/hwy. Notable features include available leather seats, voice activated NAV, Bluetooth, a reverse camera, 18-inch wheels and 5-star safety ratings. With lots of interior room and competent all-wheel drive handling, the Subaru Legacy competes well with Mazda 6 and Volkswagen Passat.
Subaru has long been known for standard all-wheel drive in all of its models. The Legacy brings Subaru's reputation for safety and reliability to a stylish mid-size sedan capable of surprising performance. MSRP starts at just under $20,000, and estimated mileage performance across all trims is 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
Following a complete redesign in 2010, the Subaru Legacy returns for 2011 with few changes. Biggest among them is that in the middle of the range, the 2.5GT Premium has been dropped. With a modest bump in price, that car has gained several standard features, such as a moonroof, fog lights, satellite radio and various interior appearance enhancements.
For 2011, the Subaru Legacy is available in seven trim levels. The 2.5i is the entry-level trim, and comes in Premium, and Limited trims. In the middle of the range is the 2.5GT in Limited trim, and the 3.6R in both Premium and Limited trims tops the line.

Administrative Law Judge John G. Van Landingham issued an 85-page opinion stating the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering was incorrect in granting a pari-mutuel barrel-racing permit to Creek Entertainment in Gretna. What that will mean to Creek Entertainment, which owns and operates a card room and simulcast betting venue at it Gretna facility, is still uncertain because the parent company plans to appeal the ruling, according to Antonio Jefferson, Gretna city manager.
ALICE DU PONT Times Editor Now that what has been described as a "very active" Legislative session has drawn to a close, State Sen. Bill Montford's office released the following accomplishments for Gadsden County. "North Florida has something unique and special and it must be protected and recognized," said Montford in a press release.
Sheriff Morris Young went to Washington earlier this year to see if he could get support for the youth center he hopes to open in Quincy and a few other projects that require funding. Last Thursday Washington — in the person of Congressman Steve Southland — came to him.
After a short meeting in his office, Young and Southerland visited the 74,000-square-foot former tomato packing house that sits on 34 acres that he hopes will become a multi-purpose youth center.
Gov. Rick Scott used the power of his veto pen Monday to put the skids to three Gadsden County projects which totaled $750,000.
The most expensive item to get the ax was the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office request for a community and recreation enter for $400,000.

With the start of the 2013 hurricane season just a week away, Shawn Wood, director of Gadsden County's Emergency Management Office, said the county is getting ready.

The Munroe softball team played errorless softball to pull off a major upset over district rival Aucilla Christian in 2A Region 1 semifinals. That win earned them a berth in the regional finals against Academy at the Lakes for the second straight season.
Unfortunately, the errors they avoided against Aucilla found them down in Wesley Chapel and doomed them from a repeat trip to the state finals. AATL won 9-3 and only three of their nine runs were earned.
