One of my favourite dolls, won cheap from e-bay as the picture was over exposed making it look like a faded box and doll. Thankfully it was perfect :)

You put the blue ball in, you take the pink ball out! These intriguing sensory balls give kids a range of colors, textures, and patterns to explore. Best of all, the five smaller balls fit inside of the big, red ball, forming a fascinating, put-and-take puzzle. Baby will start by grasping and holding each tactile ball, experiencing the different bumpy, prickly, and wavy textures. Eventually, he'll learn to pop them in and out of the bigger ball, building coordination and color recognition skills while he plays. So much play value! For ages 6 months and up. See Product Details

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Comments about B. Toys Ballyhoo Sensory Toy:
It is a nice toy. I think it is a little too heavy for a baby to pick up easily. Also, the balls do not stay in it which is a nightmare for mommy. While the balls are the right size for a child to not swallow they are not dog friendly.

About Me First Time Parent
This is a Christmas gift for my cousin's son. My son has tried to play with this toy left and right, I have to keep hiding it. If my son loves it, any child would love it
Colorful fun!
By Sarah
from Lehigh Valley, PA
The bright colors always grab my little one's attention and the different textures are so fun! It is larger than I thought it would be and the small balls pop in and out easily. I can tell that it's going to be used for a quite a long time. My little three month old loves it already.

Sensory Ball Toy
By Nmbr1Tia
from New York, New York
About Me Child Care Professional
This ball is great and stimulating for a child who likes to touch and bite different textures. Each small ball has a different texture (bumpy, smooth, soft)you can squeeze them and some balls squeek and roll around. One thing I really like is the smaller balls fitting inside the larger ball creating a challenging little puzzle for an infant to try and solve. My neice and I are currently trying to work on getting all the balls back inside the holes.

Small and central hotel in Nurnberg. Cozy is the word -- good breakfast, small but clean rooms, good wifi. Walking distance to the center of the city. Friendly staff. Reception was closed when we arrived, but we'd been told to pick up the keys in the restaurant across the street. I'd come back.

Georgina's Raw Journey
The week so far . . .
It's been an odd sort of week. Great from the juicing point of view. Great from the weight loss point of view. Great from the hydration point of view. Not so great from the work point of view but appraisals are coming soon and I will be able to talk about it all then. I am not happy about my pay though and my promised pay rise is two years over due and others are getting pay rises. The writing may well be on the wall.

At their April meeting, Executive Director Kyle Fletcher told the Thomaston-Upson Industrial Development Authority (TUIDA) she has been encouraged lately by local industries when it comes to jobs in the community. She noted that even though Clearwater Paper has announced it will be closing the Thomaston plant by the first quarter of 2014, both Standard Textile and American Process are in the process of hiring more employees.
"Even with the sad news about Clearwater, I am very encouraged by the reports I am getting from our existing industries on their production and hiring," said Fletcher. "I think that is something we should all be encouraged about it and that is why we are trying to put such an emphasis on our existing industries because they are vital to our community."
Standard Textile will be adding 32 jobs in different areas of the plant and according to Plant Manager Bill James they are in need of filling the positions immediately to meet the needs of what they are doing. Fletcher and Georgia Economic Development Director E. Jane Caraway met with James and Human Resources Manager Michael Green to make sure they were aware of the new job tax credits that are available to the industry. They also helped to put them in touch with Workforce Development through the Georgia Department of Labor, which offers on the job training to employees.
As for American Process, which is a Research and Development Biofuels plan, plant manager Brent German told Fletcher that they are currently testing Brazilian sugar cane in an effort to break down the sugars to create an ingredient that could be used as an alternative fuel source. The company is in the process of constructing another lab and will be adding 17 high paying jobs such as physicists and chemists. They also have a three-year contract to do the sugar cane testing, so Fletcher noted they will be around for a while.
Fletcher also told the board that as hard as it is to lose Clearwater Paper, the plant itself will be very marketable to industries which are looking for a move in ready facility. The property consists of 72 acres, and a 326,000 square foot building with 30 loading docks.
"It is going to be a great available building and help eventually with our improvement efforts," said Fletcher. "It will be an attractive option for an industry looking for a move-in ready building and that's looking at the positive side of an industry having to close."

Hi Guys! I have something special for you guys! I have an idea where if you have in idea for a special run with rules you follow, post it in the reply section. It should look like this:
Name: Don't Need a Hand
Playable on: Super Metroid, and Primes 1 and 2
Difficulty: SM:5/10 MP1:8/10 MP2:8/10
Description: On this run, Samus needs to complete her objectives without the Grapple Beam.
EDIT: Hey guys! I have another challenge:
Name: SA-X. Is. DANGER.
Playable on: Super Metroid
Difficulty: SM: 10/10
Description: In this run, you must obtain ALL items the SA-X is known to use while getting one pack of missiles, all energy (all you can reach) and reserve tanks (again all you can reach), all super missile packs, and all power bombs (It goes for these, too). Plus, you must skip these items: Charge Beam, Plasma Beam, Gravity Suit, Grapple Beam, Spring Ball, Speed Booster, and High Jump. I have not tried this myself, so I do not know if you can complete the game without the speed booster. but there you have it, a challenge.

The fact that county school buses are not equipped with radios created a minor spat between school officials and a parent, but also highlighted the need for the district to find a solution to this problem. School officials say they are working on a solution, but it comes down to finding the funds.
The communication issue resurfaced two weeks ago when Diana Wells, a parent of a Lafayette Elementary School kindergartner, was at her house when she saw a school bus pass by and the driver was using a cell phone while the bus was full of kids.
She reported the problem to Adam Pugh, superintendent of the Lafayette County School District. He was helpful and told her he would take care of the problem.
She didn't notice the driver do it again and thought the problem was solved, until one recent morning when she saw the driver of a different county school bus talking on a cell phone.
Wells was aware that it's illegal for those with a commercial driver's license, such as a school bus driver, to talk on a cell phone when driving.
She called the school district again and was told she must speak to Eddie Murphree, the district's transportation director. The conversation with Murphree didn't go as well as Wells' earlier conversation with Pugh. Essentially, Murphree suggested that Wells call the Mississippi Highway Patrol if she has a problem with the behavior of the county school's bus drivers.
Wells did as she was told and called the Highway Patrol as well as the governor's office. Wells spoke with Jennifer Turner, CDL license director with the Mississippi Highway Patrol in Batesville who plans to investigate the incident. Turner is also a parent of children in the Lafayette School District.
"It is required for bus drivers to have a class D license and when driving they can't be on their cell phone," Turner said. "It applies to everybody, but especially school bus drivers."
Specifically bus drivers are barred from using wireless communication devices if a minor is on board. Fines are up to $500 or $1,000 if an accident results. The law took effect in 2011.
School bus drivers in the state are also banned from text messaging.
Turner said such complaints are not common and said she is unsure why the transportation director would ignore the parent's complaint.
"I am going to look into that," Turner said.
Murphree said he regrets how he responded to the parent.
"I gave her a sarcastic answer and she took it as verbatim," Murphree said. "Sometimes we are human; we let our emotions get involved and make a comment we wish we could take back later on."
Murphree said that stress caused him to get frustrated rather than explain to her about the buses.
"I spoke to both drivers about the cell phone usage," Murphree said. "One had an emergency call as her dog had been run over and the other one answered when it rang and I have told them not to answer other than emergency."
While Pugh acknowledges that the bus drivers should not be using their cell phones for personal use, they are currently being used for emergency use.
"If there is an emergency that comes up, we want to be able to be in touch with them," Pugh said.
A recent example was a student that got on the wrong bus. Every bus driver was called on their cell phone until the student was located.
"We are having several conversations about that," said Pugh, who was a former superintendent in Pontotoc. "Something I would like to do is have radios. In Pontotoc, we had radios on all our buses so if we needed to get in touch with them we were able to tune in from the office."
Pugh said the expense is cost-prohibitive for the district to purchase a new digital systems but he is looking into other radio options. A cost estimate is not yet available.
Murphree said he was not aware of the new law, but he also feels that radios are a good idea for the district. And despite the recent cell phone complaint, Murphree said the bus drivers do an outstanding job and work hard to get a lot of children home safe every day.
"They are people out here busting their tails," Murphree said.
"Transporting kids to and from the school is the most dangerous thing that we do," Pugh said. "We want to get them here safe and we want to get them home safe."
Wells said her daughter is not riding the bus.

An enthralling investigation into the mysteries of music. Have you ever wondered how off-key you are while singing in the shower? Or if your Bob Dylan albums really sound better on vinyl? Or why certain songs make you cry?
Now, scientist and musician John Powell invites you on an entertaining journey through the world of music. Discover what distinguishes music from plain old noise, how scales help you memorize songs, what the humble recorder teaches you about timbre (assuming your suffering listeners don't break it first), why anyone can learn to play a musical instrument, what the absurdly complicated names of classical music pieces actually mean, how musical notes came to be (hint: you can thank a group of stodgy men in 1939 London for that one), how to make an oboe from a drinking straw, and much more.
With wit and charm, and in the simplest terms, Powell explains the science and psychology of music. Clever, informative, and deeply engaging, How Music Works takes the secrets of music away from the world of badly dressed academics and gives every one of us—whether we love to sing or play air guitar—the means to enhance our listening pleasure.
©2010 John Powell (P)2010 Gildan Media Corp
"Powell conveys the material with enough humor and cocktail party facts to keep the book light and fun." (Publisher's Weekly)
"Great book - wrong narrator"
The book was entertaining, enlightening, and educational, plus funny. The only problem was the book was written by a Brit, using many humorous British expression and slang. The reader was American and the contrast of British writing and American reader didn't work. At the end of each chapter the author, John Powell, comes in and demonstrates with guitar or other instrument what the chapter was about. The author is hilarious and I wish that he or another Brit had read it. I recommend it highly and I learned a lot!
Computer Programmer and Worship Leader. Have enjoyed reading since my mom got me hooked on Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie prior to my teen years. My brother got me hooked on audio books after I started having a longer commute to work. Love a variety of genres.
"Nearly everyone will get something out of this!"
As a guitarist, choral director and musician of over 30 years, I have a pretty good understanding of the physics of music as well as music theory. However, I came away learning a number of new things from this book AND with a more solid understanding of things I already knew.
While I agree that a British reader may have made the listen a little more fun, the narrator was fine for me. The author's recordings at the end of chapters were good in most cases, but his demonstration of vibrato and rubato were generally not that obvious, even to someone who knew exactly what he was doing and trying to communicate.
His explanation of the overtone series and how they contribute to an instrument's sound was VERY good, as was his explanation of how the pentatonic scales were mathematically derived (something that I didn't know).
The author also did a good job near the end of the book explaining the weird "names" for classical compositions. His appendix explaining the intervals and songs that used them was also very good.
Only other criticism (and it is a small one) is that the use of terms tone and semi-tone is less common than whole step and half step, which may confuse some readers a bit.
All in all a really nice read and the author has a GREAT sense of humor!
"Every musician should read this!"
A easy and fun read about everything music. A complete explanation of how sound and music work, from origins to how and why we listen. I recommend this to every musician and every music lover. Rikki Swin
avid audio books listener
"Great background info for a beginning musician"
I am just starting guitar lessons and the info in this audio is amazing. I knew some of it, but not the background. I've recommended it to several other friends who are music students.
"I recommend this to anyone who is in to music!"
I would listen to this again so that I could brush up on some of the very helpful points this book makes.
tired teacher
"Great book for learning more about music"
This book is so entertaining! It is funny and clever and very enlightening. The narrator has just the right style, the right mix of humor and seriousness to make it funny and informative. I enjoyed almost all of it. It is written for non-musicians in an effort to help them understand what music is all about. The author does a great job of hitting so many aspects of music, but for me, a professional musician, it was a little elementary. With that said, I did learn a few things that I can use in my classroom, and that made it all worth it. I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the workings and meanings of music.
I must add that I am glad the editors did not have the author read his own book. He interjects on several occasions with musical examples that have been discussed by the narrator. He is very hard to understand. I liked his interjections and loved his use of his guitar playing examples, but the narrator, Walter Dixon, brings the book to life.
Matt Mole
"Outstanding. Making a technical subject easy."
I've already listened to it three or four times. It really is interesting and well presented.
First time I've heard Walter Dixon. I like his presentation.
"Funny and inspiring"
The examples and the author's comments at the end of each chapter
The author
No, it is a book to study slowly
"Something for everyone."
I enjoyed this book beginning to end. It provided a wide variety of information, examples and stories about music that anyone could gleam insight from. Very entertaining and educational.
"A Shade of Gray"
Rather lifeless narration, as others have said. His voice is quiet and tedious. I also felt for much of the book that this company had discovered a man incapable of humor. Wasn't there a Saturday Night Live sketch about a disease where people were incapable of finding anything funny...He tells these jokes like he has no idea what a joke is. There is very little change in voice. The information was pretty interesting though, somewhat basic. But it will teach you to tune a pentatonic harp, and I learned enough that I felt my money was well spent. I'd have listened to it all in a few days if I could have kept my head up for more than two hours straight through the narration. Though he seemed more subtle and understated than stodgy by the end, when I'd adjusted to him.

Bothell man convicted of pulling gun on woman during Kirkland road-rage incident
By CARRIE RODRIGUEZ
Kirkland Reporter Editor
December 5, 2012 · 5:00 PM
A Bothell man was found guilty on Monday of pulling out a gun during a Kirkland road-rage incident in April.
A jury found Phillip Warren Baxter, 64, guilty on one count of second-degree assault during his trial in King County Superior Court.
His sentencing is set for Dec. 19 and he faces three to ninth months in jail.
The victim in the case claimed that Baxter pulled his vehicle in front of her car in Kirkland's Juanita neighborhood the morning of April 10. She said his car was driving at a speed of 15 mph in a 35-mph zone, according to charging documents.
She admitted to following the driver closely as she hoped he would speed up. But the woman claims Baxter slammed on the brakes and forced her into another lane to avoid hitting his car, and she proceeded around his vehicle.
When the woman stopped for a red light, Baxter pulled up beside her and both drivers rolled their windows down, the documents continue.
The drivers yelled at each other and Baxter displayed a loaded .38 caliber revolver and pointed the gun at the woman, according to the documents. The woman claimed he shook the gun at her like someone would "shake their finger at someone who did something wrong."
A Washington State Patrol trooper later stopped Baxter based on the woman's report of the license-plate number and recovered the gun in a holster on Baxter's hip.

Wish no longer. Rockbox offers all those things, wrapped in an easy-to-use installer.
Rockbox is an open-source firmware replacement for a variety of music and video players. The interface is very similar, regardless of the device, and as I don't have access to anything other than an iPod, this review focuses on it. You certainly don't need an iPod to use Rockbox, but because Apple's products are so popular, I was happy to see a wide variety of iPod models are supported. Check out the Rockbox Web site to see whether your media player will work.
To get Rockbox on your iPod, the developers offer two options, automatic and manual. The automatic option appealed to my lazy nature, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I think this was largely because my iPod was formatted with the HFS (Apple) filesystem instead of the FAT32 (Windows) filesystem. On an iPod with the FAT32 filesystem, the automatic installer is very slick and downloads the latest version of the programs directly from the Internet. I wish the automatic installer had worked for me off the bat, because then I could have just suggested you use it (which I still do) and forget about the manual stuff.
Thankfully, the documentation is very helpful even if you are forced to use the manual method. Here's a brief overview of the procedure, but be sure to read the documentation before attempting it on your own. It's not terribly difficult, but it requires extensive use of the command line. My suggestion is to try the automatic installation program first, and resort to the following method only if the installer doesn't work for you.
Go to www.rockbox.org, and click on Manual at the left. Find your specific device on the list, and go to the instruction manual provided. The installation section is helpful, and following it will ensure success. Here's a rundown of the steps:
If you have an iPod that was formatted for use with OS X, you need to convert the filesystem to FAT32. You either can plug the iPod in to a Windows machine and have iTunes reformat it, or follow the directions provided in the Rockbox manual to reformat it with Linux command-line tools.
Download the appropriate version of Rockbox from the Web site and extract it directly to the iPod. If done properly, there should be a folder on the iPod called .rockbox with the program inside. It should be at the root level of the iPod (not the root level of your computer), and because it starts with a dot, it won't be visible by default.
Next, download the font package, available from the Extras section on the Web site. The font package is the same, regardless of what media player you have, so you can't go wrong when downloading it. Just like with the Rockbox software, the fonts need to be extracted at the root level of the iPod. (The fonts actually reside inside the .rockbox folder, but the zip file is designed to be extracted at the root level of the iPod, and it will put them in the correct place.)
Finally, install the Rockbox bootloader. This is the part that causes the iPod firmware to load Rockbox instead of the original iPod software. Download the Linux version of ipodpatcher (link provided in the installation manual), and execute it as root:
# chmod +x ipodpatcher # sudo ./ipodpatcher
Assuming all goes well, you should see a message telling you the bootloader has been installed. Feel free to do a happy dance, and then hold down Menu + Select to reboot your iPod into Rockboxy goodness (Figure 1). If you have problems along the way, and corrupt the partitions on your iPod (as I did once), just plug it back in to your iTunes machine, allow it to repair itself, and start over.
Now that you have Rockbox installed, let's talk a bit about what you can do with it. Yes, with a name like Rockbox, your iPod now sounds threatening and weapon-like. And sure, if you throw it hard enough, you probably could hurt someone with it, but really, there are more productive things to do with your new media player. Let's look at a few.
Shawn Powers is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal. You might find him chatting on the IRC channel, or Twitter
Simplicity would be nice, yes. The other stuff is easy though.
It'd be nice to have a more simple Rockbox UI, yeah. I hope someone comes up with a nice way to edit the menus, that way perhaps we could download new customized UI's and some day _perhaps_ someone would think to make one that's as simple as the original one, only allowing us to play OGG files and shuffling a single playlist (the two things I miss in Apple's firmware).
BTW, for iTunes users, there's a method for playlist conversion. Basically, it boils down to using Songbird with the Playlist Export Tool to turn the playlists into m3u files and moving those over to your iPod.
For synchronization I use:
rsync -avW --progress --size-only --delete ~/Music/* /Volumes/IPODNAME/Music/
And put database.ignore in the iPod_Control/Music folder, since my 60GB iPod is more than big enough to hold two copies of my music library.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Lake Erie Monsters - 1 Center Ice - Cleveland, OH - 44115-4001 - (216) 420-0000 - Family of Companies |
Win Streak Ends at Four in RochesterTweet02/17/2012 9:37 PM
Patrick Rissmiller extended his goal-scoring streak to four games when he opened the scoring on the Monsters second power play of the night at the 17:59 mark of the first period. Tyson Barrie, returning to the Monsters lineup after four games with the Colorado Avalanche, found Rissmiller open in the right circle, and Rissmiller one-timed the puck off the near post and into the Rochester goal. Greg Mauldin also assisted on Rissmiller's eighth goal of the season. Marcus Foligno, Derek Whitmore, and T.J. Brennan scored for Rochester in the first 5:28 of the second period, bringing a premature end to Monsters goalie Gerald Coleman's evening. James Reid, who hadn't played since January 26th, relieved Coleman. Stefan Elliott scored on a wrist shot from the right point at 9:42 of the second period for his third goal of the season to pull the Monsters to within one, 3-2. Dean Strong and Peter MacArthur recorded the assists on the goal. Following a brilliant save by Reid on Rochester's Alex Biega in the third period, the Americans continued their pressure as Whitmore found the back of the goal to extend the Rochester lead to 4-2. Rochester's Maxime Legault and Brayden McNabb scored late in the third to secure the 6-2 win for Rochester. Coleman (8-3-1) stopped 13 of 16 shots in net for the Monsters before being pulled after 25:04 of action. Reid stopped 19 of 22 shots in his relief appearance. David Leggio (15-14-1) beat the Monsters for the second time this season. The Monsters and Americans meet again Saturday night on "Cavs Night" at The Q, featuring appearances by Cavaliers rookies Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson. The action can be heard Saturday night on AM 1220 WHKW and seen live on MY 43 THE BLOCK WUAB. NOTES: Rissmiller has one point in each of his last six games, and one goal in each of his last four contests... Coleman has started 10 straight games in net for the Monsters, a franchise high... The Monsters are 0-3-0-0 against Rochester this season... With an assist, Strong has points in four straight games... MacArthur's assist was his first as a Monster, and first point as a Monster; he has now played two games with the team... Mauldin's assist extends his point streak to four games; he now has seven points (3-4-7) over his last seven games. |

Conscience is a killer.
Holy crap. This is the greatest show on television. There is no way I could ever be convinced that there is another show out there that even compares.
The storyline is pure brilliance in its intricacy. The conclusion of the very first episode of season 1 is still a main part of the plot on the start of season 5.
Episode 1, Season 5 was nothing short of fantastic and I'm giddy to watch future episodes.
Episode 1: Quote of the week-
Mother of young gunman: Why are you arresting my son?
Vic: He ran a stop sign.

By John Gaydon
Yes, I was walking in the bush just 5 minutes from home with my wife and daughter, when we came across one of Australia's most notorious Reptiles, a Death Adder. It looked just like the one in the picture, sunning itself on a rock.
We were about 3 meters away when we saw it, and gazed at each other for quite a while. These snakes can strike to about 60 cm, although you have to step on them to get bitten, and they are the fifth deadliest snake on the planet. This was a visible killer, and even thought it's bite is often fatal, the invisible killers in the form of toxins, heavy metals and pesticides are far more lethal to humans.
If you are bitten by a Death Adder, you are rushed to hospital and given antivenin. Hopefully you survive. With invisible killers, they build over a long period of time sneaking up on you. In many cases your body is severely damaged before you are even aware you have them, and the medical system ahs real problems dealing with these toxins.
Of course, there is always a reason for everything, and many of today's chronic diseases can be explained as a reaction to a build up of toxins in the body. This is where we have a problem. The Health System uses drugs to suppress symptoms and cure diseases. This doesn't remove the toxins which cause them.
This is why we are so excited about Activated Liquid Zeolite. His product safely grabs toxins at the cellular level and whips them out of the body without harming any organs. As you gradually reduce the body burden you are able to better absorb nutrients, your immune system strengthens, and you have not only a great chance at vital health, but your body may be able to fight off other health challenges you face.
Personally, at 57 I have focused on removing toxins as my main health strategy for over 30 years. I combined this with a positive mental attitude, fabulous nutrition, regular exercise, and doing things I am passionate about, to be really healthy.
Why not consider getting the toxins out of your body – Activated liquid Zeolite is just about the best way to do it!
John Gaydon has been researching Natural Health for over 30 years. Recently he came across a revolutionary new detox product which removes heavy metals and other toxins safely. John can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit his web site at http://goodhealthbeginshere.com

The placenta (for those of you who've forgotten 8th grade biology) is involved in fetal development.
It's where a mother's blood passes nutrients and oxygen to the blood of a fetus inside her.
With the help of the umbilical cord, it's how a mother nourishes a developing baby.
For these, it's how a baby can nourish a young tree.

A New You: Soar to new heights of achievement this year
As with the changing of seasons, at different times in our lives, circumstances, as well, change. Sometimes, we are in a dry, slow spell, and situations appear stagnate. At times, we may wonder, as with autumn's falling leaves, if one by one our dreams have slipped away. Or we might have experienced cold periods of hurts, disappointments and setbacks, where difficulties overwhelmed us.
But, hold on. You're coming into a new season of change and transformation where circumstances will change to your benefit.
I read in the Bible, in John 2:1-11, where it tells us that Jesus, His mother, Mary, and the disciples were guests at a wedding in Cana. The wine ran out, and through the urging and expectation of His mother, Jesus took the six water pots filled to the brim with water, and He turned them into wine. However, He created not just any wine, but the finest of wines. Jesus brought something new and better to the guests at the wedding. Instantly, there was a change.
Likewise, positive change is approaching you. Blessings are coming your way that will bring you to new heights of achievement. Windows that were closed in the past will now swing open. And suddenly, you'll be propelled forward.
Out of the blue, good people will come into your life. And, in a flash, amazing opportunities are going to find you. Your career will take off, and conditions won't be as difficult anymore. You're moving toward your miracle.
So don't give up; extend your hand. Do not be discouraged or impatient. Your heart's desires are right within your grasp. God's hand of blessing is going to take you along a brand-new, wonderful path.
Listen, God is whispering to you today:
* "I will fill your life with good things and renew your strength like the eagle." Psalm 103:5.
* "Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed." Deuteronomy 28:6.
* "I am going to restore the years that were lost." Joel 2:25. Continued...
No matter what has transpired, God has not forgotten about His promises to you. So keep on trying and persevere in the direction of your goals. Continue to do your very best. In a moment's notice, you can go from seeming failure to great success, from sickness to complete health, from shortage to abundance, from loneliness to companionship. A season of change is forthcoming.
Years ago, a friend of mine was in a terrible relationship. After she finally broke it off with her boyfriend, she finished her education and became a nurse. With the hard lessons she had learned from her previous relationship, she knew what she wanted in a life partner, and even jotted down on a piece of paper a list of attributes she hoped to one day find in a husband.
Time passed, and my friend held onto the dream in her heart of someday being married to her soul mate. She continued to enjoy her life, traveling, participating in hobbies, and advancing her career. Some would shake their heads and say disapprovingly to her, "You're getting older," and "Your biological clock is ticking." One person even uttered, "Stop being so fussy, there must be someone suitable for you to settle down with and marry!"
Those negative words hurt. However, my friend mustered the strength to ignore the remarks and was unwavering with her faith in God as she plodded onward. "I paid no attention to the hurtful comments and insults," she declared. "I didn't get caught up in defending myself, and I avoided arguments. It doesn't bring any benefit and just wastes time and energy."
My friend told me how she didn't want to just 'settle' for 'less than' the perfect mate God had for her. She asked the Lord to give her strength to see her heart's dream come true, and thus, she remained patient, even though her prayers were not yet answered. For silence does not mean God is idle. Remember, it takes careful arranging and precise planning for God to line up the right people and right circumstances that are best for us.
Then, at the hospital, quite unexpectedly, one thing led to another, and my friend met a wonderful man who was an employee there. They began dating. Six months later, they joyfully got engaged and a year later, were married. Now, they share a wonderful life together with their two precious children. The hand of God moved her to her destiny.
Last fall, my daughter went on a field trip with her school to a science center. My husband was a chaperon; and when they returned home, he told me that when they arrived at the center, the teachers lined up the students by their last name. Since ours starts with a 'V,' my daughter was last in line. Next, out of the blue, the science center's tour guide came by and said to the group of students, "Turn around, we are going to start viewing the exhibits from the back." Instantly, my daughter went from being in the back of the line, to leading the line.
Maybe you've sacrificed and waited and have been in the background in the past. But, be on the lookout. Expect to experience God's best, for instantaneously you can move to the forefront.
God is getting ready to do extraordinary things in your life. So spend daily time in prayer and worship. And faithfully persist in walking forward. With each step you take, you're getting closer to triumphing. Your time is coming. The season of change and transformation is almost here ... and your beautiful dreams will become a reality.

Which CMS do you use?
With all the rush about making our websites easier and easier to edit, I have often wondered what CMS's other designers use for their clients.
Currently I use CMSFromScratch. - Open-Source, White-Labeled, Simple, and Easy.
So fellow designers and developers what do you use for CMS?I've been using Cushy for my clients.I have written my own cms (EdMin Webmanager) because most of the cms systems I had seen were to heavy/complicated etc. for clients to work with. I made a system what is fast and easy to use; that's what is important for most people.There is a lot of good discussion about this at the following link:
- DonnaI use Textpattern, joomla and now wordpress. ive been wanting to use cushy but all the plugins for wordpress make pretty much anything possible and i just havent had time or a need for it yet.I'm interested to read how good the security issues are on the different systems. Anyone ever had any trouble, or have had pages with injectet scripts?I used to use e107 (and still do for some projects), but had actually been using PHPBB recently to handle user registrations and data as well as my forums and building my database driven content around that. Since the upgrade to PHPBB3, they changed the way users and sessions are logged in, so I started building my own. I got the user data and all that set up right, complete with privileges, but got stuck designing the forums properly so I put that project aside. My question for you guys is, do you recommend using a CMS, or should I stick with designing my own?I often use Joomla, despite being a little clunky here and there, there are loads of components that can tailor it into quite a specific use to suit your clients requirements.
For example I've used it to build sites with functionalities like Product Reviews and Real Estate Management, with the help of commercial components.
I'd love to know if there are other CMSs with similar capabilities, Drupal appears to be pretty extendable but tends to require some hardcore coding knowledge to get there!

Mitral Valve ProlapseMedical Author:

Mitral Valve Prolapse OverviewMitral valve prolapse (MVP) is also called click-murmur syndrome, floppy mitral valve syndrome, and Barlow syndrome after the doctor who first described MVP. The mitral valve is one of 4 valves in the heart. It opens and closes to control blood flow between the heart's left atrium and the left ventricle. The mitral valve has 2 flaps, or "leaflets." In mitral valve prolapse, one or both leaflets of the valve are too large, or the chordae tendinea (the strings attached to the underside of the leaflets, connected to the ventricular wall) are too long (redundant), resulting in uneven closure of the valve during each heartbeat. Because of uneven closure of the leaflets, the valve bulges back, or "prolapses," into the left atrium like a parachute. When this happens, a very small amount of blood may leak through, moving backward from the ventricle to the atrium. The valve still works well, and the heart pumps normally. Prolapse does not cause damage to the heart over time. Only 2% of people have other structural heart problems along with mitral valve prolapse. Previously called the most common heart valve abnormality, mitral valve prolapse was thought to have affected 5-20% of the general population, mainly women. Now with newer, wiser echocardiographic criteria, it is thought to affect only 2-3% of the general population, and it is most often diagnosed in people aged 20-40 years. Mitral Valve Prolapse CausesFor most people, the cause for mitral valve prolapse is unknown.

By ANDREW GALVIN / The Orange County Register
Q. Why was Ralphs indicted?
A. Ralphs is accused of violating federal laws by, among other things, reporting false names and Social Security numbers for rehired workers to federal agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service.
Thursday's federal indictment accuses Ralphs Grocery Co. of the following crimes:
Conspiracy to commit federal offenses
False representation of Social Security numbers
Identity fraud
Falsifying and concealing material facts within the jurisdiction of a federal agency
Money-laundering conspiracy
False statements and concealment of facts relating to an employee benefit plan
False statements to a federal agency
Obstruction of justice
Aiding and abetting and causing an act to be done
Oct. 11:The United Food and Commercial Workers union begins a strike against Vons supermarkets.
Oct. 12:Ralphs and Albertsons supermarkets lock out their employees who are members of the union.
Oct. 31:Union withdraws picket lines from Ralphs stores. Union's goal is to try to break the unity of the employers by enticing Ralphs into a separate settlement.
Jan. 2: Union files a lawsuit accusing Ralphs of rehiring some locked-out workers under false names and Social Security numbers.
Jan. 14: Union returns pickets to some Ralphs stores.
Feb. 4: Ralphs acknowledges U.S. attorney has begun investigating allegations of illegal rehiring.
Feb. 26: Tentative agreement reached on new contract.
Feb. 29 :Union members overwhelmingly vote to approve the new contract, ending the strike and lockout.
March 1: Union drops lawsuit against Ralphs as part of settlement of strike issues. U.S. attorney's investigation continues.
July 29: The Register reports that Ralphs has admitted that some of its store managers allowed locked-out employees to return to work, citing a company memo obtained by the newspaper.
Nov. 17: The Register reports that the U.S. attorney has offered immunity from prosecution to Ralphs employees who were rehired if they cooperate with prosecutors, citing a letter obtained by the newspaper.
Dec. 15: Ralphs is indicted.
Q. Why did Ralphs lock out its workers?
A. Ralphs had an agreement with two other supermarket chains, Vons and Albertsons, to negotiate as a team with the United Food and Commercial Workers union, which represents supermarket workers. After the union launched a strike against Vons in October 2003, Ralphs and Albertsons locked out their employees who were union members. All three chains kept their stores open by hiring replacement workers.
Q. Why did Ralphs rehire some locked-out workers?
A. When the labor dispute began, the union set up picket lines at all Southern California stores belonging to the three chains. A few weeks later, the union withdrew its picket lines from Ralphs, hoping to entice the chain to forsake its competitors and negotiate a private settlement with the union.
"Because senior management was not expecting the unions to stop picketing, Ralphs was ill-prepared for the increase in business at its stores," the indictment says. "Ralphs needed several hundred well-trained, experienced and reliable grocery workers who could operate its stores competently and efficiently perform necessary functions, such as receiving, bookkeeping, price integrity, stocking, rotating and displaying produce and cutting and displaying meat."
Q. Why were those employeesrehired under false names andSocial Security numbers?
A. According to the indictment, Ralphs adopted a company policy in anticipation of the strike that said, "Under no circumstances should (store directors) knowingly hire members from the striking bargaining unit."
The indictment alleges that the term "knowingly hire" was adopted "to allow store directors to hire locked-out and striking employees if they could plausibly deny knowing" that applicants were locked-out Ralphs employees. Ralphs hired workers under false identities so that managers could plausibly deny knowing they were locked-out employees, prosecutors say. Ralphs denies the allegation.
Q. Why was it important that Ralphs not appear to be rehiring locked-out employees?
A. Ralphs had an agreement with Vons and Albertsons not to rehire any striking or locked-out employees from any of the stores. Also, by rehiring some of its own locked-out employees, Ralphs could have been found to be engaging a "selective lockout," which is illegal under the National Labor Relations Act. Such a finding by the National Labor Relations Board could have made Ralphs liable for back pay to all of its locked-out workers.
Q. Are any Ralphs employeesbeing prosecuted?
A. No Ralphs employees are named in the indictment. However, the indictment says that "Ralphs engaged in a company-wide course of criminal conduct which was intended to, and did, undermine the labor action." Ralphs' regional managers and store directors were given "tacit approval, if not encouragement, by Ralphs senior management to hire locked-out and striking employees as temporary replacement workers," the indictment says.
Q. What does Ralphs say?
A. Ralphs admits that its stores rehired about 200 locked-out workers under false Social Security numbers. However, Ralphs says the rehiring was done by individual store managers on their own initiative and wasn't part of a company-wide plan.
"Individuals were trying to help people who had worked for them who were suffering," Ralphs spokeswoman Lynn Marmer said. "Going 141 days without a paycheck is a very difficult circumstance." Ralphs adopted the "knowingly hire" policy not to tacitly encourage rehiring but because, "It's not really fair to discipline someone for taking an action when they didn't know," she said.
Ralphs says it has taken disciplinary action against the managers involved in the rehiring. The company adds it has cooperated with the federal investigation from the start.
Q. Does the indictment credit Ralphs for its claimed cooperation with investigators?
A. No. "When federal law enforcement agencies began to investigate Ralphs senior management first attempted to falsely minimize the extent of the company's illegal conduct, and then attempted to shift responsibility for that conduct to lower levels of management, falsely blaming store directors and others," the indictment says.
Q. What sort of punishment could Ralphs face?
A. Prosecutors said they could seek as much as $100 million in back pay for Ralphs 19,000 locked-out workers, plus other fines. However, the labor board's Los Angeles office has found that Ralphs did not engage in a "selective" lockout in violation of federal laws, Ralphs said. The union is appealing that ruling.
In a filing Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Kroger Co., Ralphs' parent, said it "does not expect the ultimate resolution of this matter to have a material effect on the financial condition of the company."
Q. What does the union say?
A. The indictment "vindicates our position all along," said Greg Conger, president of the union's Local 324 in Buena Park. "One side played fair during the strike, and another side took another route."
Rick Icaza, president of Local 770 in Los Angeles, said: "Tens of thousands of working families were harmed by Ralphs' illegal activities. Every single one of them must be made whole." The union alerted authorities to Ralphs' rehiring practices in 2004.

Consumer Reviews of WEIL-MCLAIN boilers

Location: Montreal, Canada
Satisfaction Rating:
"Requires Manual Restarts"
Ultra unreliable boiler, constantly requires manual restarts - sometimes several times a day! Cannot leave unattended in winter or in return I will find my house frozen.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Junk Junk"
I bought this house in 2001. This boiler worked fine the first six months. Then it decided it didn't want to start. I had the service guy come out and it would work fine for a couple weeks. Since then I have had them out no less than a dozen times. Here is a list of things that had to be replaced. The blower, castiron water jacket, igniter, control module, transformer and the cone. Now, May 2013 when it gets damp outside it refuses to start. Save yourself some grief and do not buy a Weil-Mclain!!
Location: Pembroke, canada

"Worst Company Weil - McLain, stay away"
I bought these Weil McLain 2 years ago. In less than 3 years, it started to leak from the heat exchanger. I called the company for the warranty but they refused to give it. We argued and they asked me to ship the boiler to their manufacturer in the United States of America to diagnose the problem and after checking they will let me know if it is still covered or not. I got a quote for shipping from them and it is almost $700. Again, they did not give me a guarantee if they will replace it or repair it. It took me over 20 emails to reply, and after all they refused to cover the warranty on it.
Location: Burlington, VT
Satisfaction Rating:
"Ultra 155"
Installed in '05. Generally reliable, then this winter, within 2 weeks it was "red tagged" by the gas company due to a failed gasket. Then the blower died and left us without heat for 24 hours. When technology works, it's wonderful. When it doesn't, it really doesn't. Think very carefully before buying one of these.
Location: Seeley Lake, MT
Satisfaction Rating:
"Don't buy this boiler"
We have had continual problems since installation in 2005. The boiler goes out frequently, requiring manual reset . We had to replace the controller board twice and the entire firebox, seals, etc. once. It still doesn't work consistently, requiring us to have people constantly check it while out of town during mt winters. It will be out the door shortly!
Location: Xenia, OH
Satisfaction Rating:
"Avoid Weil-McClain"
We spent thousands of dollars on a new wm boiler and could not be any less happy with it. It shuts down and 'locks out' in the coldest weather and doesn't seem to be fixable. The repairman has been here countless times and even brought a WM area rep once and we still have problems. We were induced to buy by being told we could save up to 40% on our gas bill. After three heating seasons, we have had exactly a big fat zero reduction in our CF usage. Our old boiler wasn't even a problem, just the pump. This was a HUGE mistake. I hate this boiler. I would never, ever recommend buying a WM boiler unless I had a grudge against the person and wanted some really great revenge.

"Gold Series Failure after 15 years"
Front cast iron section of boiler cracked and leaking after just a little less than 15 years of service. Requires complete replacement. Have a 19 years old Blue Series Weil McLain in my other house, has worked well without problems. Company changed hands in the 1990's and quality control was not maintained.
Location: Anchorage Alaska
Satisfaction Rating:
"Frustrated in Alaska"
We had a new Gold gv-3 installed in July 2009. after about 2 years it sarted making loud banginfg noises (explosions) which would dislodge the direct vent exhaust gasket and allow exhaust fumes into the house. These were investigated and determined to be "hard Starts" About 2 months ago a very loud explosion woke us up. I inspected it to find the exhasust duct blown apart and the vent cap blown off the top, the cap was found in my yard. Since then, the unit make a low rumbling noise upon start up and we've had technicians and distribitor reps out at least 4 times to attempt a diagnosis to no avail. This mornigng it was 57 degrees in my house 0 F outside! Apparantly after another service call a pump is malfunctioning since it is pumping hot water out of my house! Try your luck with a different brand!

"Cracked case, refused warranty at 2 years old!"
Boiler is 2 years old, the cast iron assembly cracked (which is stated to have a lifetime warranty). They refused warranty so I had it welded, cracked again in another spot the next winter. Now they say they will warranty it if I pay shipping on the old unit back to them, then wait 3-5 weeks for the replacement! Stay away, they are junk!
Location: Michigan
Satisfaction Rating:
"Ultra 80"
Constant eo2 code. Have to manually restart. This problem has occurred steadily over 6 years !!!! This was a NEW boiler installed in a NEW home. We are now forced to purchase a new furnace. Weil-McLain could care less.

Throughout the week, Mike Tanier will be out and about and filing dispatches from the Super Bowl city.
Colts owner Jim Irsay is one of the N.F.L.'s most eccentric personalities, a man whose interests transcend not just the gridiron, but our very plane of existence.
Anyone courageous enough to seek a glimpse into Irsay's psyche can find one at "Chaos is a Friend of Mine," an exhibit of rare literary works, classic guitars, and other artifacts collected by Irsay, which is on display at the Indiana State Museum from now until early May.
The exhibit's title is a Bob Dylan quote and is not meant to comment on the current state of the Colts organization or Irsay's relationship with Peyton Manning. Irsay's love of classic rock is evident from the many iconic guitars on display, including vintage models used by Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards, and George Harrison. A gift to Irsay by Stephen Stills features an elaborate Colts horseshoe on the headstock. "He has stacks and stacks of guitars," said exhibit guide Becky Weber, who helped select items for display.
The most culturally significant item on display is Jack Kerouac's original manuscript for "On the Road," a 140-foot long scroll of taped-together typing paper, the single-spaced text extending across a pedestrian trestle that connects two museum halls across a canal before ending at the point where the author's dog chewed up the manuscript. Irsay's collection is the first major exhibit to use the walkway as a display area. "It's the only place the manuscript fits where it would not block a fire exit or something," Weber explained.
Doug Farrar of Yahoo! Sports put the manuscript in football perspective. "It's a little bit shorter than Peyton's current contract," he joked.
Other items on display include letters from George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other historic figures; Mike Myers' glasses from the Austin Powers movies, a signed Andy Warhol soup can, and an original script of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." The only theme connecting the items is that they appealed to Irsay; taken together, they provide more insight into his mind than his Twitter account, itself a cross between Keith Richards and Kerouac. The exhibit has attracted some kindred spirits. "I wish we could make a tape recording of people standing in front of the Monty Python script," curator Mary Jane Teeters-Eichacker said. "Everyone starts reciting lines from the movie."
There were few visitors at the museum on Saturday morning, but business has been brisk all week. On Sunday, the museum hosts a party with the kind of eclectic guest list only the Super Bowl can attract: Archie Manning, Paula Deen, and the cast of Cirque Du Soleil. One meal by Deen will probably be adequate to feed the entire circus cast.
There is also some Colts memorabilia on display, but the biggest draw for local fans is situated at the museum's main entrance: the Lombardi Trophy that the team won after the 2006 season, flanked by the A.F.C. Lamar Hunt Trophies the team won in 2006 and 2009.
The Lombardi Trophy has noticeable fingerprint smudges, which neither Teeters-Eichacker nor Weber could account for. "The delivery men are supposed to wear gloves," Teeters-Eichacker explained. Original Peyton Manning or Tony Dungy fingerprints, perhaps? Or did the curators have to wrest the trophy from Irsay's unwilling hands?
It may be a long time before the Colts get their fingers on another Lombardi Trophy, and Weber expressed the frustration many local fans have with the recent sniping between Manning and Irsay about the state of Manning's injured neck and his future with the team. "Most people wish that the two of them would keep it in the family," she said.
After all, it's only a flesh wound.
Mike Tanier writes about the N.F.L. for The Times, Football Outsiders and NBC Sports. If you are in Indianapolis, look for him out and about: he will be the one complaining about the lack of authentic cheese steaks.

This means that they have gators, snakes, raccoons, monkeys, turtles and all manner of critters right in their own house! If you love wildlife and get excited at the idea of handling snakes and alligators this book holds enough and more entertainment for you. Derek Badger, the star of 'Expedition Survival' is arrogant, inept and egotistical. He gets himself bitten by all kinds of creatures and gets entangled in sticky situations.
Children can quickly relate to the emotional struggles of young Wahoo, who feels 'different'. Firstly because of his wacky name and also because of his quiet and introverted nature. When Wahoo meets Tuna, who gets beaten up by her drunken father he feels immediately sympathetic to her plight and insists that she travels with him and his father. As the two grow and bond, there is even an element of romance in their relationship. But what will happen when Tuna's drunk father shows up at their campsite waving a gun?
Also, don't miss Hiaasen's two best-selling environmental thrillers Hoot and Scat. They are both adventure novels in which school-age children take on big company officials in order to protect the endangered species of Florida. These suspense-ridden books are page turners. They can also be read over and over again because Hiaasen has managed to weave so many layers into each story.
