Once you have downloaded and installed the plug-in, navigate to your on-line store by going to View, On-line Store. Select your on-line store. Find and purchase the music that you want to buy.
If you are an existing customer, you will need to log-in to your account and follow the steps to purchase
your music.

Once you have purchased the music, navigate to Sync and click on Edit Playlist. Find the music that you want to copy to your LDP-600. Once you have found your music, double click on it and it will be part of the Sync List. Once you find all of the music that you want to copy, click on Start Sync. Windows Media 10 will copy the highlighted music to the LDP-600. Disconnect the LDP-600 from your computer. Here are some of the on-line music retailers that offer support for Windows Media 10:

Deciding to be a stay at home parent was very nerve-wracking process for my husband I but happy we took steps to understand it. Don't for a second think that you are alone when trying to figure out if being a single-income family is right for you. There is no definite right or wrong answer but a couple of things you need to consider.
Lifestyle Choice
Having a parent stay home full-time with the new little bundle(s) of joy is a lifestyle choice, some parents are quite happy putting their kids in daycare/in the care of family for work hours as soon as their parental leave is expired and that's fine. Initially when I found out I was pregnant the first idea that we agreed on was that we wanted me to be a stay at home mom until our little guy was old enough to be in school part-time. And after throwing around various numbers, costs and logistics of getting to and from work/daycare, we discovered that financially it would work for us.
Money, money and more money!
Most of us are really not aware of how much money it actually costs to go out and make money. First, let's think about Commuting. You will be faced with the costs of maintaining a second vehicle (repair/insurance & possibly a monthly car payment). You also need to make sure there is gas in the vehicle(s) to get you from point A to point B….and we all know how cheap gas is today *eye roll*. Maybe you would rely on public transit like myself since we are a 1 vehicle household. In either case both time commuting and costs need to be considered.
My Personal Example: Should I be a Stay at Home Mother?
So lets use my situation to see example numbers : 1 x 1 month transit pass = $160 for me and its free for Peanut since he is under 5 years old.
Getting him to and from daycare would add anywhere from 1-2 hours a day to the already 1-2 hours commuting to and from work. We'll be optimistic for my situation and say: work + commuting = 11 hours per day.
Obviously if you are going the route of the 2nd vehicle your monthly cost would be higher than that and the time getting to and from work would obviously vary.
Keeper of the Children- Day Care!
Next is daycare, which is not cheap at all unless you have very generous family members. Many daycare centers don't tend to state their prices online, probably because there are many deciding factors that go into their rates. The standard prices I have come across for my area is around $25 for a half day and $35 for a full day for my toddler.
So cost for a month we are looking at: 20 days x $35 = $700
Mama doesn't fit in her pre-baby dress pants no mo'-Clothing Costs
When at work do you need a uniform? Or maybe if you are in an office there is some form of dress code to be followed? Maintaining a wardrobe of some variety is not necessarily a monthly cost but it would still be present. Or maybe, if you are like me, after a 10-12 hour day of working and commuting you may not feel like making a home cooked meal so the odd take out lunch/dinner might sneak in.
All these little odds and ends can add up quickly. So again, let's be optimistic for me and say that I have $100 a month go towards 1x "I'm too tired to cook" takeout meal for the family, a 1x "I really should try to be involved at work" donation to a birthday/retirement/etc or maybe a "oh no I missed the bus,the day care is going to charge me a late fee for not getting there on time" sort of thing.
Now all these numbers were applied to my own net income. In my case, my job was paying me just above minimum wage here in Ontario which meant I brought home about $1400 a month net.
$1400 – $160 in transportation – $700 for daycare – $100 for incidental expenses = $440 free and clear and 220 hours a month spent getting it. Yup, you are reading that right…$2 an hour.
For some people $400 would make or break a living situation so they have no choice but to suck it up and do it. In our household we knew that with my husbands net income and some strategic belt-tightening that I'd be able to stay at home and care for our little guy as we had hoped.
Ways we Cut Expenses so I could be a Stay at Home Mom
- We cut cable tv out of the picture
- I use coupons to stockpile every day items that we use
- Created a budget
- Lived with-in our means
- Planned our meals
- We use fans instead of A/C on the tolerable-ish days.
- I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've run the dryer in this house since we moved here in February to help keep bills down.
Also with my time spent at home I've started getting into the DIY/Frugal state of mind. I've learned to make my own household cleaners & laundry soap. I've also learned how to make fresh homemade bread. Our little guy gets many of his clothes at Value Village and garage sales since he will grow out of them in 2 months anyway.
All these things can add up into savings, even the small stuff. Lastly, budget, *do not* start free-styling with your monthly expenses because you can so easily have money disappear on things you can't even recall buying.
So before you run into work waving a resignation letter, or before you sign away 8-10 hours a day of child raising to a daycare think about the outcome. Sit, write-down all the pros and cons to being a stay at home or a return to work parent before making any final decisions. Take the time to discuss what you are willing to do budget wise to make either happen.
Good luck
Guest Post By: I'm Melissa a stay at home mom who runs the blog A Rambling Stay at Home Mom. I have an 8 year old step-son, a 17 month old son and a loving husband. I spend my free time finding and writing articles to share with my fans. I also enjoy finding ways to make our own money go a little further be it by budgeting, couponing or maybe good-ole household DIY projects.

The race took place in the fields behind the South Fish Creek Rec Centre (basically behind the Shawnessey YMCA). It was a one mile loop around a soccer field and stormwater/overflow pond, as you can see in the map below:

Had a great time catching up with them all before it was time to head outside, warm up and start the race.

Then we hit the mud. And the pools of water. The gravel paths around the pond were flooded with water, and made for some muddy bits. I nearly lost a shoe to the hungry, grabby mud! After that first loop, I nearly had half a mind to just run to the finish line and be done with it, haha! But that would have made the part of me which was determined to run a 10k race really unhappy and unfulfilled. So it was on to the next muddy loop. And it was muddy:

The volunteers were fantastic and cheered all of us on. They were trying to help me count down the laps, and many thought I was already on my last lap when I had one more to go. Thanks for thinking so highly of my ability to run, but I just don't run that fast!!
I was also encouraged by my friends Keith and Michelle, who cheered me on, took pictures and generally hung out with me to chat and provide encouragement by the side of the race just when I needed it the most.
By the last lap, I started enjoying running through the varied terrain. By then, I knew where to avoid the mud, generally by running on the grass by the side of the path or through the ankle deep water on the gravel. I thanked every volunteer since I felt a kinship with them, having seen them 6 times, getting their encouragement and well wishes. I was very happy to see the finish line:
|Heading to the finish line, as taken by Michelle
|Sprint to the finish, as taken by Keith
I crossed the finish at 1:04:30!! For a moment I thought it was a PB; then I realized that the race course was only 9.5k distance. However, once I was done, I did a self-assessment of my body and my mental state. I felt awesome! No nausea, no pains or aches, just a sense of well being and achievement. I think the smile here said it all.

BEIJING, China, August 12. BY Thursday morning, one of the primary names in the event might be on the top step of the podium when the medals are presented in the women's 200 butterfly. For now, the Chinese are loving the fact that Liu Zige is the top qualifier after the preliminary round. Swimming in the third of five heats, Liu was time in 2:06.46.
Five athletes managed to break 2:07 with France's Aurore Mongel finishing in the second position behind a time of 2:06.49. Japan's Yuko Nakanishi was next with an effort of 2:06.62 and China's Jiao Liuyang kept the Asian roll going by checking in at 2:06.89. Otylia Jedrzejczak, the defending champion from Poland, was fifth in 2:06.91.
Japan's Natsumi Hoshi gave her country two individuals in the top six as she stopped the clock in 2:07.02. Occupying the next two positions were American Kathleen Hersey (2:07.65) and Denmark's Micha Jensen (2:07.77). The United States' Elaine Breeden was ninth in 2:07.92 and will need to move up a place to land in the championship final.
Great Britain's Jemma Lowe was 10th in 2:08.07 and reigning world champion and world-record holder Jessicah Schipper of Australia was next in 2:08.11. Schipper won the bronze medal in the 100 butterfly and will undoubtedly be among the leading gold-medal contenders. The rest of the semifinal field will include Audrey Lacroix of Canada in 2:08.54, Australia's Samantha Hamill (2:08.83), Petra Granlund of Sweden in 2:08.97, Great Britain's Ellen Gandy (2:08.98) and South Africa's Katheryn Meaklim (2:09.41).

IT is unfortunate that commercials on radio, television, in newspapers, and elsewhere portray mild scaling of the scalp or skin as "the heartbreak of psoriasis." Many individuals with mild dryness of their skin or ordinary dandruff immediately begin to worry that they may have psoriasis, a fear that may not be dispelled easily. Also, patients with psoriasis eagerly purchase each new product in hope of helping their disease. These advertised formulations are quite bland and have very little, if any, beneficial effect in controlling the lesions of psoriasis.
The reasons for these commercials are quite obvious. They are profitable to the manufacturer and the advertising media. However, it is probable that more harm than good comes from this approach to treating patients with psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a common but complicated disease that is not amenable to control by over-the-counter or through-the-tube preparations. In fact, detailed regimens worked out on a

Regarding the original post, anyone can be beaten on a given night, let alone against a terrific fighter. All a guy has to do is show up with his B game and all fighters do. And Tyson with his B game is a beatable fighter. So is Frazier.
Gee! Fancy attempting to correct my post and getting the year of the fight wrong?
The Tubbs Tyson fight was the 21st of March 1988.
Now ,to address your point ,if you have one.
I used the ****ogy between Tyson and Tubbs ,and Frazier and Mathis to illustrate the difference in one shot power between them.
Mathis, when he fought Frazier was unbeaten he had fought NOBODY,was not ranked and had no business fighting for any version of a title.
It took Frazier 11 rds of constant bombardment to wear Buster down enough to get the stoppage.
Tubbs when he fought Tyson was a ranked contender he had ,had 25 fights losing only one a split dec to another contender Tim Witherspoon.,among his wins were victories over contenders ,like.
Bonecrusher Smith,who held a version of the title at one stage.
Greg Page , ditto
Jimmy Young a long time contender.
Tubbs ,was kod with one shot,in a two round blow out,that lifted him off his feet and deposited him sideways.
Tubbs went another four years being stopped again and as late as 93 was still good enough to go the distance with Champion in waiting Rid**** Bowe ,in fact many thought he won that fight
.Tubbs was still beating fringe contenders five years after Tyson destroyed him.
My summary is this ,that Tyson had the following advantages over Frazier.
Faster hands.
Quicker at closing the distance
More power
Two fisted power
Better chin [tried and tested]
Much more versatile with his punch choices and placement.
This means to me Tyson wins it and by stoppage.
I dont like Tyson as a man ,I think he is a **** ,just for the record.
By the way the Japanese put the cash incentive up for Tubbs, not King
This thread is not about fighters showing up with" their B games", it's about matching two men up in their prime.
Gee? Do people still say that in the States?
Gee Whitakers, thats an old Pat Boone song.
Are you a fan of the Walton's?
Only joking

Check out the latest news and insight from the ever-evolving world of institutional investing and hedge funds from around the globe.
Read More Industry News >
New York-based Mariner Investment Group announced that it has hired a former senior executive at Goldman Sachs to run the firm's newly-launched global emerging market equity portfolio.
Mariner said in a statement released Thursday that the fund, which employs a global emerging market strategy, will capitalize on Richard Rumble's 15 years of experience in emerging market equities. Rumble was previously the head of global emerging market equity proprietary trading at Goldman Sachs.
The new portfolio runs on Mariner's new multi-strategy platform. eVestment reported last week that the platform will be managed by a slew of hedge fund professionals across the industry who will have the opportunity to provide the firm with strategy-level investment expertise while having the support of Mariner's infrastructure and the potential to create future stand-alone hedge funds.
Managers will oversee portfolios with initial investments ranging from $50 million to $100 million on behalf of the fund. Mariner has already hired Eric Pellicciaro, the former head of global rates investments at BlackRock, to oversee the fund's global macro portfolio.
Founded by former Bear Stearns fixed-income executive William Michaelcheck, Mariner is a multi-strategy hedge fund focused on fixed income and credit arbitrage with about $10 billion in AuM.

In its ongoing series of tributes to Hollywood figures (including James Dean, Katharine Hepburn and Gregory Peck), the U.S. Post Office is adding iconic directors John Ford and Frank Capra to the list.
Both will be honored with Great Film Directors postage stamps in 2012. John Ford dukes it out in my personal pantheon of best directors of all time with Akira Kurosawa. The stamp features John Wayne in The Searchers, which Peter Bogdanovich considers one of the four Westerns that "must be seen by any civilized person". While Ford's Best Director Oscar-winners---The Informer, The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley and The Quiet Man--are all must-sees, I prefer the great westerns Rio Grande, My Darling Clementine, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and the movie that launched John Wayne's career and set the model for many westerns to come, Stagecoach. No one had used a moving camera on location in such a visceral way before.
Frank Capra is also up there, and only improves with time. He won Best Directing Oscars for It Happened One Night (also a Best Picture winner), Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and You Can't Take It With You, but his fave classic is his 1946 classic It's A Wonderful Life. The stamp features Capra and his It Happened One Night stars, Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, her famous leg extended. It was shocking at the time.

read that new parents should ban all visitors including family for first week to bond with baby
A friend read somewhere that it is important that only the parents be with baby for first two weeks in order to bond with baby. I think this is terrible, arent grandparents family too.

I think it's important for Mom and Dad to have at least three days alone as a family with the new baby before a ton of visitors get invited over to see the new arrival. This excludes grandparents and maybe immediate family. MOM NEEDS TO REST and shouldn't feel obligated to entertain a bunch of people while recovering from labor or cesearean section. At least three days home from the hospital is going to be my rule before we allow visitors, OTHER THAN immediate family.posted 10/20/2007 by kelly and baby tom
I'd say it really depends on how the new mom feels. And, whether she (and dad) are comforted or overwhelmed by crowds. I think that bonding, with parents, grandparents, etc, is truly more of a lifelong process. The real issues are the health and sanity of the new parents and the health of the baby (RSV season, etc.) So, if you are a new parent - try to take it easy, make sure you email photos right away, stuff like that. If you are a grandparent - be patient, try to help not crowd, and remember when you brought your little one home!posted 10/23/2007 by 2isLots
I'm gonna agree w you on this. I doubt even if I tried I could keep my Mom away from her first grandchild for a week. You will still be the two most important people in your baby's life even if they also bond w grandparrents & other family.posted 10/01/2007 by Vladibunny
we banned all people from staying at our house and put "visiting hours" on when people could come over - this included grandparents. We wanted this to be a special time to establish our own family and figure things out for us. it was a very special time and a recommend it to all!posted 04/08/2008 by 1stgrandbaby

Tim Tebow's future as an NFL quarterback has been a hotly debated topic since his freshman season at Florida. Three years after Tebow was drafted in the first round by the Denver Broncos and nine days after the New York Jets placed him on waivers, the former Heisman Trophy winner finds himself without an NFL job.
Sports television network execs may be waiting to pounce on the world's most influential athlete according to Forbes, but are there ANY teams still considering taking a chance on Tebow behind center?
Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports reports the same hype and media circus that makes Tebow attractive for ratings and sponsors is likely keeping him out of most NFL camps. Some of the chatter Silver dissects includes a Patriots source saying the team is unlikely to sign Tebow because Coach Bill Belichick "hates" him as a player. The Patriots, with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels — the former Broncos coach who drafted Tebow — have been linked to Tebow as a possible destination. But the Patriots' source said the team won't take a chance on Tebow as a situational player because "they wouldn't like the circus that comes with it.
Circus seems to be a familiar thread that NFL executives fear when considering adding Tebow to their roster — even if it's of no fault of his own. He's a proven leader, but his poor mechanics, footwork, throwing motion and lack of accuracy appear to be too much of a gamble when combined with the media and fan frenzy that have followed his NFL career in Denver and New York.
Silver reports:"He seems like a great guy to have on a team, and I'd be tempted to bring him in as our backup," one NFC head coach said Wednesday. "But it's just not worth dealing with all the stuff that comes with it."
In a business in which coaches and general managers strive to avoid distractions, Tebow, as one NFC offensive coordinator told me last spring, carries more of a stigma than Terrell Owens.
Or, in the words of one AFC head coach to whom I spoke recently: "You don't want to put up with the circus."
