Purchasing bulk food to save revenue
I execute a massive quantity of food shopping when my partner cannot. We typically start with a listing plus a budget quantity including what's going to be invested in groceries.
Make an effort to focus on saving money. Brand merchandise which can be well-known might be great, but store brands may be every single bit as very good, but just a little more affordable.
It truly is excellent to save money, your priority have to be good quality oriented. Hunt for sales. Save obtain ads you get inside your mail. Spend time at your household table and look the sales. I get pleasure from invest in goods which are ten for $ 10. I bought cat sup, and barbecue sauce plus some outstanding title brand Pasta gravy this way. I bought spaghetti in this way too.
I saved a great deal income that i could share rather several groceries along with other loved ones persons. I gave my mother in law food I got myself extra. I commonly get mother something. I appreciate share. She's on the fixed earnings and he or she is seniors. It'll assist whenever we can purchase a minimum of a couple of the identical form of items and tell loved ones. Eventually I used to be offered a terrific deal on ripe bananas. I bought two circumstances. I chock-full my freezer with cut bananas. I gave one more scenario towards the local police.
In the event you obtain people hamburger, pizza, and fried chicken coupons inside the mail, cut them out and save them. You won't ever know when a person in the household may possibly need to purchase a couple of of these products. Stash a couple of of these inside your purse or wallet.
Do you will need cold drinks for the family members whenever your traveling ? We saved lots of cash whenever we began getting your own drinks at household. All we did was put quite a few inside a convenient ice chest. Only then do we location the ice chest within our vehicle. We use to see 100s of miles each day for 13 years for the children therapy on her legs in a clinic. Our disabled daughter loved burgers from favorite locations like Carl's junior. Yet we introduced along substantial drinks and saved money when paper cup drinks went out. All we needed to do was pour drinks in people cups which the fact is had ice.
Make an effort to get can meals on acquire. They keep for nearly any really lengthy time. If you want canned corn, peas, eco-friendly beans. Obtain them on purchase.
If you'd like gravy in individuals small bags that 1 could mix with water which come in decent brands, then catch them on purchase. I purchased them three for starters dollar. I acquired a huge handful of them. Gave Joann's mother some. I'll involve some saved persons that demands them. If they're this isn't on obtain they're costly. Honestly we generally share food even if occasions aren't straightforward.
When buying meat, purchase it fresh. In the event you purchase raw chicken not have the capability to smell it period. If drumstick legs are yellow-colored through the narrow bone finishes, then do not purchase them. Obtain chicken only when it is on buy. Buy your chicken breasts nice fresh on obtain, or least as low a price they come. Think of this incredibly significant statement. You are able to obtain In A Low expense, AND Acquire The highest top quality FOOD. It takes merely some time to total the concentration.

Pre-Amp Tips For a Beginner
I picked up my first pre-amp from a guitar store the other day. My gear acquisition syndrome kicked in and I was helpless. I'm a sucker for a good deal. It is a BBE 381. I play through a 6505, and I also have a Crate G1500 which I just picked up last week from the same place. It is one of few SS amps I will with out a doubt say, hands down, ****ing killer. However I am a cave man of sorts when it comes to anything outside my guitar and amp. So like a kid with matches I wanna just go to town.... but I'm sure there are some cautionary words that I should heed before frying my 6505.
Where is a good place to start? Tube or SS? drive the amp? drive the pre? Crank them both? How will pedals affect my power levels? Could an OD or distortion hurt it if I drive them hard?
The Crate (obviously) blows away any clean sound MY 6505 has ever made...and I suspect this would be true for most. Do I a/b them and put the 381 in front of everything?
Man...I'm just not a techie when it comes to this stuff... Obviously I should start with my levels down, but I just dont know what to look for, or more importantly what to avoid.
Am I gonna need an attenuator? sounds expensive.... Shit. Help! Oh wisdom of UG...shine upon me...

...what purpose are you trying to acheive with the preamp? because your peavy already has a preamp in it which is where all the gain comes from.
you could run it into the crate for potentially a nicer sound.
Because it sounds to me (& dont take this as an insult) that you just bought it for the sake of buying it, without understanding what its for.

well, you have two main choices to use this preamp
1) make the amp clean, and plug this right into the front of the amp. this will cascade the BBE into the amp's preamp
2) send it to the effects receive of your amp. this will bypass the amp's preamp and you'll just use the BBE
i am really not too sure why you got this unit, your 6505 should get you plenty of gain. did you just want another option for preamp tones?
nothing to caution you about, the preamp isn't going to blow up anything. there is some risk of it sounding bad if certain levels are set too high, but it won't hurt anything.
as far as configuration, no one will be able to tell you what you'll like so just try things out. it won't matter about chaining OD and distortion pedals with the preamp (those OD and distortion pedals are pretty much just preamps themselves).
that amp won't need any attenuation, your volume levels should be similar to your amp's normal output
punk isn't dead, it's always smelled that way.

Yeah I didnt buy it because I need a pre-amp. The 6505's pre-amp makes me more than happy. I bought it to have an alternative to its disgusting cleans. I was thinking of it more as a chance to gain some versatility. My 6505's drive channel is all I could want and more. I mean to be honest...if it didnt have the sonic maximizer in it I wouldnt have bought it. Thats what I'm looking for. $50 bucks out the door, I had to. But you fella's are correct. No I did not need this thing. My friend and I have a habit of buying anything and everything. Then we put our gear in the same room...stare and smile for an hour then jam for 3 days. Essentially what I have learned is that this should be used to "color" my amps tone, and only slightly.
The 6505 has a very high end sound, what my former guitar teacher called "buzz saw". He isnt completely accurate but he isnt wrong either. I need the bottom end tightened up and maybe a bit more articulation at high gain levels. I'm seeking heavy tone without all the saturation. I seek fatter rhythms without being flabby on my neck P-up.
I'm not saying the 381 is at all a solution. Just a shiny new toy to play with. Thanks guys. I'm just gonna see what happens. Plus I dont have a good space to record in. So the direct outputs on the 381 at least will solve that, when the time comes.

Debutant Williams: I felt nervous, excited, scared...everything!
Derrick Williams revealed his mind was a torrent of emotions when Paul Lambert called him from the bench to make his senior debut at QPR.
Williams went into the action as a second half substitute for Chris Herd and slotted in wonderfully at left-back.
But the calm exterior of the 19-year-old betrayed a sea of sensations as he stepped up for his first-team bow.
He said: "It was good. I really enjoyed it.
"I didn't know what to feel. When the gaffer said my name I was nervous, excited, scared...everything.
"When I got out on the pitch though I felt comfortable. It was a great feeling.
"And it was obviously good to get a positive result. It was a good atmosphere too. The crowd feel right on top of you at Loftus Road. But it was good to hold out for the point."
Williams revealed reassuring words from the manager before he entered the fray helped him cope with any lingering anxieties.
He added: "The gaffer said 'you wouldn't be here if I didn't think you were good enough.' That helped a lot. That gave me a lot of confidence as I went out to play.
"Having other academy graduates out there helped loads too. Just thinking that they've been through exactly what I've been through with the likes of Tony and Kev.
"I just got out there and concentrated on getting tight to the QPR lads as much as I could. It worked so I was very happy.
"The whole team were superb. I thought the back five were class. I thought we were on top at the back.
"I want more now. I will keep working hard now and hopefully I will get another chance."

According to the Daily Advance newspaper, 51-year-old Stephen Carter now faces six charges of engaging in sexual activities with children.
The newspaper reports a Perquimans County grand jury handed down the additional indictments Thursday against the former leader of Camp Cale Retreat in Perquimans County. The paper says Carter is out on bond until his trial date, which has not been set.
A Baptist summer camp director in Eastern Carolina is facing sex crime charges against children.
Stephen Carter has been indicted on felony first degree sex offense against a child and felony indecent liberties with a child in Perquimans County.
Carter is the director of Camp Cale Retreat in Perquimans County. Todd Tilley, the Perquimans Clerk of Superior Court, says Carter is not allowed to have any contact with people under the age 18, with the exception of his own children. That stipulation was imposed by the magistrate.
Carter was arrested on July 1, Tilley said, for an alleged incident on June 15. Carter posted an $80,000 bond and remains free.
Tilley said it is up to the district attorney to set Carter's next court date now that the grand jury has indicted him.

Adventure Activities in Cancun - Try if you dare
by Nina Stampfl, an AOL Travel ContributorPosted Oct 21st 2010 04:17 PM

1. Swimming with Whale Sharks
There are not many travel destinations that can offer swimming amid the world's biggest fish. Isla Holbox is a small island located northwest of Cancun, attracting visitors for its fascinating flora and fauna. There are dolphins, manta rays, green turtles, flamingos and numerous other bird species, but the absolute highlight here is the yearly arrival of whale sharks – they find the warm Caribbean waters to be ideal feeding grounds. Without a doubt, one of the most adventurous and daring activities in Cancun is swimming or snorkeling with these peaceful giants. The whale sharks are in this region between June and August. Various operators in Cancun offer tours.
2. Diving in Cenotes
Cancun lures visitors for its marvelous beaches, but the high number of world-class diving spots along the Riviera Maya also makes it an attractive place for an adventure vacation. To top that off, daring divers also find the possibility to dive inland in the so-called cenotes – sinkholes filled with groundwater spread all over the Yucatán peninsula. Cenotes are filled with fresh clear water, and the visibility under water is excellent. Scuba Cancun offers diving excursions to the cenote Dos Ojos (Two Eyes), part of the Nohoch Nah Chich cave system, the world's largest underwater cave system, and to the cenote Chac Mool. Non-divers can also participate in these adventurous tours and explore the cenotes with a snorkel and a mask.

Prices vary
3. Scuba Diving in Cozumel
The island of Cozumel, located about 50 miles south of Cancun, was just a fishing village until the early 1960s, when French explorer Jacques Cousteau discovered it as a diving paradise. Cozumel is particularly famous for its good underwater visibility the whole year round and the spectacular marine life. Those tempted by scuba diving should definitely give it a try while staying in Cancun. Diving centers in Cozumel offer scuba diving and snorkeling tours. The possibility of wall diving and swimming through tunnels and canyons make diving here a great adventure activity in Cancun, even for experienced divers.
4. Snuba, Snuba Doo and Sea Trekking
Xel-Ha is a wonderful natural lagoon with crystal clear waters less than 80 miles south of Cancun. It is also an archeological site and is the location of a huge aquatic theme park, which offers a variety of fun activities for children and adults. There are still a lot of fish swimming in the bay, and the park's services make it possible for the whole family to discover this large aquarium on a sea trek or snuba dive. Sea trekking is walking underwater with a helmet that supplies air. Even non-swimmers can do it. Snuba is underwater snorkeling. Instead of breathing through a snorkel you're breathing through a tube that supplies air and allows you to submerge into the underwater world. Kids between four and seven years old can share this experience with Snuba Doo.

Daily 8:30AM-6PM

5. Go on a Canopy Tour
Selvática is an adventure park located in the middle of the Yucatan jungle south of Cancun, which offers various adventure activities off the beaches. The real adrenaline rush is the Extreme Canopy Adventure. You will glide through the air at dizzying heights on 12 long ziplines, the so-called "extremo circuit." After this white-knuckle experience, you will be taken to a nearby cenote, where you can swim or jump in from zip lines.

James Brolin Reveals He's Returning to 'Castle'
We don't usually find ourselves with scoops here at Antenna Free TV, but you never know when you're going to luck into a piece of information that no one else has, which is exactly what happened when I chatted with James Brolin yesterday.
It was about as far from a scoop-seeking situation as you can get, really: the interview had come about in conjunction with his upcoming Hallmark Movie Channel film, Christmas with Tucker, and once we'd finished chatting about that, my biggest concern was making sure that I had a chance to ask him about the experience of having guest-starred on Community as Jeff Winger's father earlier this year.
After he discussed that role, however, which he admitted that he'd taken on because his daughter had all but ordered him to do so, Brolin added that "more fun, and more in my taste, was when I did the episode of Castle for a friend of mine who produces the show, Armyan Bernstein. He said, 'Please come and do this one shot,' this other father, who they've been talking about for five years and who was an assassin who never knew his son. So I read it, and we discussed how we might make the role more interesting, and we were very successful at that."
Then, in as casual a manner as you can imagine, Brolin revealed, "And now I've just gotten a call saying, 'Could we do it again?' And I said, 'Well, there's no reason for me to do another episodic show…unless I can show you the complete other side of this character, the one you might be afraid of. Rather than you finding out he's a good guy, you find out he's good in front, but…well, anyway, I said, 'If I'm gonna do another one, I'd like to have it as talked-about as the first one.' So I start Castle again on… I go to New York next week, and then I start Castle the following Monday."
Apparently, this is breaking news.
Not that there hadn't been talk of bringing Brolin back – on July 22, TV Guide's William Keck noted that executive producer Andrew Marlowe was planning the return of Castle's father – but this seems to be the first confirmation that it's actually happening.
You're welcome, Castle fans!

The bad thing about not driving is a good thing.
Monday, March 19, 2012
I don't drive. Not because I don't have a car, even though I don't (though my partner does), and not because I can't, cos I have driven before, and owned cars.
The reason I don't drive is because it freaks me out, but that's something for a different post.
The point I'm coming to is that since I don't drive that means I have to either walk, bus, taxi or get a ride from someone. Since I'm not made of money taxis are out. Buses can be can be unreliable, don't always go to where you want, or aren't necessary for shorter distances, so they're out more often that not. And I don't think it's fair on my friends to always be asking them for rides, so I don't really ask for them unless it's important or an emergency.
That leaves walking. And like I have previously mentioned in other blog posts with walking my daughter to pre-school and back that equates to about 2 hours walking a day, 3 days a week.
This is something I have to do. I have to take her to pre-school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. And I have to pick her up in the afternoons as well. No matter what, that is what I do.
The only bad thing is that I even have to do it when it's cold, wet and windy.
Then again..... Who could ask for better motivation to keep up the exercise?
I can't give in to any excuses; "I'm too tired", "It's too cold and/or wet outside", "I just can't be bothered today", "I have a wee bit of a sore foot". I can't let the excuses win because then I would be letting my daughter down, and hampering her education.
In another 7 months she will be starting primary school (OMG that is getting too close), and then I will be walking her there 5 days a week. Sure, it probably wont be as far as I walk now, but something is better than nothing.
Now if only I could apply that kind of motivation to other aspects of my life.

I walk as much as possible, as I don't have a car and cannot drive. And, btw, 7km isn't that far. My friend walks that daily to and from work, and he makes the trip home and to work a few times a day. I love walking, when there's a purpose, or with company. It's great exercise, it's free, and I love walking on wet and windy days, down by the water, watching the waves come up over the wall. It's a 2.2km round trip for me from home/work and back, and that's only 25 minutes or less of my time :). I can only imagine the distance you're covering in that length of time for your walks!

I wish I could walk to work, but 7km with a laptop is a little far! that is such a superb way of getting in exercise! I loved doing the same when I stayed at my sisters, walked the kids and the dog to school!

I also don't have a car, and I bike pretty much everywhere no matter what the weather. But today I was leaving for work and found a flat tire so had to walk in the storm and begged a ride home, because dark and stormy for a 30min walk is much worse than dark and stormy for a 10 min bike ride.
So many SP seem to have problems getting ANY expercise, for people like you and me we have a baseline of daily exercise just for going through our lives and that puts us ahead of the game in terms of health and fitness.

Chris Froome pulls out of Giro di Lombardia
- By VeloNews.com
- Published Oct. 5, 2013
Sky's Chris Froome has withdrawn from Sunday's 107th Giro di Lombardia, citing back pain.
"Sadly, I won't be able to compete at Il Lombardia on Sunday," Froome announced via the Team Sky website.
"I had some back pain at the world championships last weekend and it hasn't settled down as I'd hoped."
Team doctor Alan Farrell said a scan indicated "an inflamed sacroiliac joint."
The 242km "Race of the Falling Leaves" starts in Bergamo and finishes in Lecco. Joaquím Rodríguez (Katusha) won the season's final monument last year.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Good evening. I'll be assisting you with your question.
You have several options, but the most viable is what you've brought up.
First, you can ask the judge to require the exchange to be done at a neutral location.
I agree - when I suggested this...it was ignored.
Second, you can ask the judge to order your ex to bring the child to you.
It is important to have a specific time for the exchange. If your ex will not comply, your only option is to go back to the judge and ask him to be held in contempt.
Roger, do I need to file a motion? "Aks the judge" is a bit vague
Yes. I'm sorry. You have to file a motion, which asks the judge to take the action you request.
Roger, I know Texas is not Indiana, but to file a motion would I likely go to the courthouse?
The judge will generally not require a hearing on a matter like you've described. However, if you make a motion for contempt, there will almost certainly be a hearing.
Is there really any point is asking for "contempt"? Does it really DO anything?
It depends on the situation. If a person is held in contempt, the judge has lots of options, ranging from a warning, to a fine, all the way to throwing someone in jail.
Thank you
Glad to help.
Can I do anything else for you?
If not, please remember to "Rate" my answer. Have a good evening.

Playgroup Activities
A number of parents have written or rung asking about the sort of activities they should expect to find in these pre-school groups and what will their toddler gain from the experiences.
I have listed a few of the typical things you would expect to see the children involved in, when you visit a toddler group, playgroup or school.
Sometimes a group can be limited by space or lack of storage facilities, as most under five's provision tends to be run out of church halls, scout huts and the like. This means some will not be able to offer an outside play area. This is not so important if the child is only going to be there for a couple of hours but if you are looking for a longer or full day session this could be a strong disadvantage.
Have a look at a few different groups to get a good feel of what is available in your area and the differences between them.
Craft and messy play
A wide range of different painting, drawing, printing, cutting and sticking, collage and junk modelling activities and projects, that are changed frequently, play a big role in pre-school groups. They give your child an opportunity to explore many different materials, textures, colours and substances. It will help to develop their hand eye co-ordination, imagination and develop fine motor skills needed for learning to write at a later stage. Dough and clay which they can mould with their hands will help with manipulative control and is a good way to introduce the pre-mathematical concepts of weight, length, size and shape. With sand and water play, your child will be raking, pouring, digging and emptying and filling containers, thus discovering about volume and quantity.
Books, stories and poems
There should be a good range of books that the children can reach in a 'book corner' or 'book box' depending on space, so that the children can look and choose books for themselves. The books should be changed regularly and kept tidy so the children can see what is available to them, this will also encourage them to keep returning to the book area to see what's new as well as look at old favourites.
Dressing-up & role-play
Play shops, restaurants, wendy houses, mini kitchens, and dressing up clothes, are a very important part of the pre-school curriculum as they provide endless possibilities for imaginative play. This is a time when children also learn to share and co-operate with each other through their own imaginary games. Some for the first time in their lives.
Table games, construction toys
A good range of construction toys will include duplo, construction straws, flexi tiles and wooded bricks. With these toys children learn to experiment with shape, space, and balance also how to solve simple technical problems. Table games will include jigsaws, peg boards, card and board games like matching pairs, snap and find the odd one out. These games require children to concentrate and will develop sorting, matching and sequencing skills, they also introduce the concept of good sportsmanship! I bet you are saying I know plenty of over five's who are in floods of tears if they lose a game, we can but try to instill these disciplines into our children.
Circle time
This is when the whole group sits down together to sing songs, use percussion instruments, clap, stamp, and act out rhymes such as Five Current Buns,The Farmers in the Den or Ten Green Bottles. Most small children really enjoy musical activities, it is also a good way to introduce concepts such as rhythm & counting whilst developing listening skills and memory.
Some groups will also have 'Show and Tell' this is when children bring things in from home to show their friends and talk about it. Discussion Time is for talking about a particular topic or maybe a theme of the week such as homes, animals, nature, or food. This teaches communication and language skills through talking and listening to others, asking and answering questions. A well-organised group will offer a good range of 'Circle Time' activities. It will also tell you the parent about how imaginative and involved the staff is with the children.
Physical & adventure play
Sessions can be with or without equipment. Children can learn to hop, skip, roll, peddle a bike, walk along a balance bar and join in a music and movement class. If the group has a playground there will be more scope for running, ball games, climbing, learning to swing and using see-saws. These activities will help to develop self-awareness, muscular strength and co ordination and control of the body (gross motor skills).

Enhancing Technology Commercialization through SBIR/STTR Reform
Post-World War II era U.S. science, technology, and innovation policy has been defined by a linear approach to public investment in basic research. For many decades, this policy worked because the United States was one of the few countries with the technological capabilities to translate research into new products and services. But in today's intensely competitive global economy where nations are fiercely competing for innovation advantage, this paradigm is no longer tenable. Robust public investments in basic research remain critical, but equally as important are investments and institutional reforms to commercialize new ideas from the laboratory into the marketplace.
To advance the debate on potential policy reforms, the House Technology Transfer Caucus, Co-Chairs Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, and Innovation Associates are convening a series of Capitol Hill briefings featuring leading experts in innovation policy.
The first of these events will examine reforms to improve the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. SBIR/STTR are critical policy tools federal agencies use to support small business R&D and innovation. While recent program reauthorizations increased the share of agency budgets set-aside for SBIR/STTR, more needs to be done to maximize the value and commercial potential stemming from these programs. This panel discussion will investigate the reforms that are needed to advance SBIR/STTR and boost commercialization through small businesses.

Jul 2014 - $21.00
The price reflects a Passport America price for two days. The second two days were $42. The campground is poorly marked. I had problems finding the campground. Need more and better signs. The only dumpster was up a long hill and in back of a work area. Had to ask several people the location. Not a pleasant walk. The sites were large but not level. No individual maps were provided to find the site or where anything was. - roybrody
Sep 2011 - $19.00
The lady who gave us our site did not know the price per night. The sites were so uneven that after trying 3 sites we decided to leave. The sewer hook-ups were at the front so our hoses wouldn't reach and trees were in the way of our slide outs. - User1608
Jul 2011 - $20.00
Driving into the park was over a rutted gravel road. The park is laid out in concentric circles so keeping a rig on the road and away from trees requires full attention. The sites are somewhat level but make sure you have lots of leveling planks/blocks. The park was in need of some TLC - looked ragged and well used. Our 34' fiver would not fit the assigned lot especially our slides. In the middle of vacation season in northern MI, only a few sites were occupied, mostly appearing to be full-timers. That was the straw that broke us - rather than attempt to shoehorn our rig into a tight sight, we bailed. The counter man was quite willing to see us go and wished us luck in finding a campground (we did - east about 15 miles). So if rustic camping is for you and your rig, this might be the place, especially considering their cheap rental rates (even cheaper if you are a Passport America member). But if you prefer well maintained, spacious camping, IMHO, you might want to keep on driving to another campground. - Owlet

FLINT, Mich. (AP) — A $1 million federal grant to the University of Michigan-Flint will assist military veterans in earning an accelerated degree in nursing.
The Flint Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1qoALHv ) Friday that the three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will help the school develop the program and launch it in January. The program ensures that students complete requirements for the degree and are prepared for the registered nurse licensing exam.
The program also is designed to build on veterans' previous training. Assistant Nursing Professor Beverly Jones says she's pleased about the grant because as a veteran she knows the difficulties experienced by many with military backgrounds.

A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a blood test that provides information about a person's liver and kidneys, body sugar and protein levels, and electrolyte and fluid balance.
Doctors order a CMP test to help diagnose liver or kidney disease, as well as conditions like diabetes. Doctors also use this test to monitor people who have health problems or are taking certain medicines.
Several different tests are done in a comprehensive metabolic panel. It includes all the tests in the basic metabolic panel, in addition to a few others. The good news is you should only need to get blood taken once. The lab uses the same blood sample to run all the tests.
The CMP helps doctors look at:
In an emergency, technicians can co the comprehensive metabolic panel test without any special preparation. But the results are more accurate when a person has been fasting. So your doctor may ask you not to eat or drink for 8 to 12 hours before having your blood taken.
You should tell your doctor about any medicines you're taking because certain drugs might alter the test results.
A health professional will usually draw the blood from a vein in your arm — most often on the inside of the elbow, but sometimes on the back of the hand. The technician cleans the skin surface with antiseptic and ties an elastic band (tourniquet) around the upper arm so the veins swell with blood and are easy to see.
Next, it's time for the needle. It should feel like a quick pinprick. Occasionally, it can be hard to find a vein so a nurse, doctor, or technician may need to try more than once. That's not the norm, though — most people's veins are easy to find.
It's best to try to relax and stay still during the procedure since tensing muscles can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. And if you don't want to watch the needle being inserted or see the blood collecting, you don't have to. Look the other way and maybe relax by focusing on saying the alphabet backwards, doing some breathing exercises, thinking of a place that makes you happy, or listening to your favorite music.
The technician will draw the blood so it collects in a vial or syringe. Collecting blood will only take a few minutes. Once the technician has enough blood, he or she removes the needle and covers the area with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. After the test, you may notice some bruising — that's normal and it should go away in a few days. Don't be afraid to ask the technician if you have any questions about the blood draw.
A blood test is a safe procedure and there are no real risks. Some people may feel faint or lightheaded during a blood test. And, while nobody really loves needles, a few teens have a strong fear of them. If that's you, talk to your doctor since there are ways to make the procedure easier for you.
The blood sample will be processed by a machine. It usually only takes a few hours or a day or so for your doctor to get the results (in an emergency, results on some blood tests can come back much faster). If your doctor thinks the test results show signs of any problems, he or she may decide to do other tests to find out what the problem is and how to treat it.

Sanchez Watt has signed a two year deal with Colchester United where he will join former Arsenal youth Craig Eastmond who has already signed for the U's.
Watt arrived at Arsenal when he was discovered aged just seven amid interest from Barcelona.
A product of Arsenal's youth academy, Watt signed his first professional contract with the club in 2007 but he has failed to develop as the club had hoped and after a number of season's out on loan, Arsenal released the player this summer.
Speaking prior to the transfer at the end of May, Colchester's assistant manager Mark Kinsella had said
"We would definitely be interested in Sanchez.
"We've got Craig Eastmond and the pair play off one another.
"They've been at Arsenal together for a number of years and they bring the best out of one another's games.
"If we could bring the pair of them to Colchester on a permanent basis, it would be fantastic."
We wish them both all the best at their new club.

Plus, if you feel like getting out of town on Fourth of July but don't yet have plans, it's not likely you'll get a hotel room at this point. So hop in the car, head over the Golden Gate and follow all or part of our Marin coast itinerary: from funky hippie parade to gourmet picnic to an expensive, but luxuriously relaxing, view of the SF fireworks.
Look of the Week: Patriotic Panache
This week we were faced with a style dilemma that always leaves us a bit perplexed: how to pull off red, white and blue without looking like, well, a contestant in the Miss Liberty pageant. Don't get us wrong, we usually jump at any excuse to get a bit themed-out and the Fourth of July happens to be one of the best reasons to do so, but this year we decided to skip the star-spangled bikini and opt for something a bit more seaside chic. So without further ado, our look of the week:
A Punch-Drunk Fourth: Not Just for Old People
There's no better way to serve a crowd than a punch. It might take a little preparation, but so does potato salad. And once you've got it all together, you can just sit back and enjoy the day. Here's an adaptation of one of my favorite recipes—a classic, going back to the golden age of punch in the 18th century England (no, the woman in the photo is not from the 18th century, although she could be), when tea and rum were prized commodities for the seafaring nation.
Regent's Punch
Serves about 16.
4 lemons
6 oranges
2 limes
4 bags of green tea or 4 teaspoons green tea leaves
1 cup superfine sugar
2 cups brandy, try VSOP cognac
3/4 cup dark rum
1/2 cup light rum or cachaca
A Down-and-Dirty, Last-Minute Fourth of July BBQ
The situation: Since your house has a view, your friends have elected you to be the host of the fireworks party.
The problem: You haven't had time to even think about what to cook.
The solution: A menu of grilled sausages with spicy mustard, German potato salad, fruit kabobs and chilled raspberry cream pie.
• Rosamunde Sausage Grill (545 Haight St., 415-437-6851) doesn't just make the best sausages in SF, they sell them uncooked too. Our perennial favorite is the spicy beer sausage. Pick up as many as you need ($3 a sausage) and while you're at it, add in some of their great potato salad to-go.
Why Fourth of July in The Mission Kind of Sucks
The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday. No gifts, no obligations—just beer, pyrotechnics, grilled food and a long weekend. At least, it used to be my favorite holiday, until I moved to San Francisco five years ago. More specifically, I moved to San Francisco's Mission District. You may cry gentrification all you want, but trust me—on Independence Day weekend, the neighborhood, known for fancy coffee shops and slick restaurants, returns to its lawless, wild west-like roots. Lying in bed on July 2, 3, 4 or 5, listening to M80s being deployed what feels like mere inches from my bedroom window, I imagine I'm living in London during the Blitz and that someone in my building has accidentally forgotten to pull their black-out curtains.
A Guide to the Area's Best 4th of July Fetes
With the Fourth of July just around the corner, how will you celebrate our country's Independence Day? With so much on tap around the Bay Area, we'd wager you won't have any trouble finding something to do.
Groove alongside 100,000 of your closest friends to the tunes of some of the area's greatest jazz performers on three main stages. Arts, crafts and food vendors will occupy 10 blocks should you get restless and need to exercise your legs. July 4-5, 10am-6pm, free.

So, I manage an Ice Cream Shoppe, right? I see all the bills and such that come through, and I'm amazed at how stupid some of them are. Today we received a notice that we had to be in compliance with these new labor law posters, which I'm fine with. But why do I have to pay ten bucks a pop for these things? If it's a Federal Law that I'm required to follow, shouldn't the materials be free? Sure, it's a trivial amount, ten bucks, but it expands to other areas. Even though we're not fast food, we are required by state law to have a grease trap. Shouldn't the state pay for it? Install it? Clean it? If they don't want to pay for there own laws, then why make them?
Nov 25 2009, 10:14 PM
Talking of grease traps, I have a contract with a big restaurant to clear out their grease trap every fortnight and it's a horrible - well - greasy job. Ice cream shoppe needing such a thing? Who wrote that one? LOL

A little Ice Cream Bang Bang amirite?
Nov 26 2009, 04:58 AM
I work at a grocery store and we have the same posters plastered all over our break room. I've been there for almost four years and we've gone through 4 sets of posters. It isn't a lot of money but really they should just have the rules printed out on some paper and put somewhere employees can see it. As long as it is kept up to date it would be fine, but that would just make too much sense I guess.

Also I would love to taste the sweet grease of Ice Cream.

By: Authors Posted: June 21 2010 7:30 AM 0 Colbert I. King was feeling froggy on Father's Day. He pointed out the contradictory behavior of GOP darlings Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich, who have taken President Obama to task for being from a "broken home." Some of his critiques include their serial marriages, i.e. "broken homes," and their propensity for younger women and affairs. He also tosses Sarah Palin in the mix for a myriad of things, including allowing her teen daughter's then-boyfriend to share a bedroom in her house, before the pregnancy or the marriage. It's clear that people in glass houses should not throw stones, especially when someone is watching.SOURCE: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/18/AR2010061804320.html Get what we're watching delivered to your inbox everyday!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Brandi Glanville on LeAnn Rimes's New Album: "I'm Surprised It's So Bad"
The war of words continues between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville and the woman who came between her and now-ex Eddie Cibrian, country singer LeAnn Rimes.
Brandi gives her complete assessment of LeAnn's new album, Spitfire, in the latest issue of In Touch Weekly. And though it starts with a compliment, her review is certainly not a rave.
"LeAnn has a great voice, but she needs to work on her songwriting," snipes Brandi. "I'm surprised it's so bad."
Brandi quotes one of LeAnn's new tracks, one called "Borrowed" in which the 30-year-old sings about borrowing a man who belongs to another woman.
"She's not going to win any fans by writing a song about breaking up a family," Brandi asserts. "It's old news — no one wants to hear you cry over getting everything you wanted."
Fair point. In case you missed it, Brandi and Eddie ended their eight-year marriage in 2009 and Eddie has since confessed to having cheated on Brandi with LeAnn. He and LeAnn wed in 2011.
And here we are four years after that affair, still dwelling on it. Isn't it time to let this water go under the bridge? We're siding with Brandi on this one.

|Brain to plasma amyloid-beta efflux: a measure of brain amyloid burden in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
|Reference Detail
|Reference ID:
|The deposition of amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides into amyloid plaques precedes the cognitive dysfunction of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by years. Biomarkers indicative of brain amyloid burden could be useful for identifying individuals at high risk for developing AD. As in AD in humans, baseline plasma Abeta levels in a transgenic mouse model of AD did not correlate with brain amyloid burden. However, after peripheral administration of a monoclonal antibody to Abeta (m266), we observed a rapid increase in plasma Abeta and the magnitude of this increase was highly correlated with amyloid burden in the hippocampus and cortex. This method may be useful for quantifying brain amyloid burden in patients at risk for or those who have been diagnosed with AD.

In his latest attempt at solidifying international legitimacy for an independent Palestinian state outside of peace negotiations, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas laid the first stone of what is set to become a Palestinian embassy in Brasilia, Brazil, on Friday. The land, donated by the Brazilian government, is in the same region as other diplomatic missions and will make Brazil the first country in the Americas to host a Palestinian embassy.
Brazil is just one of four South American countries last month to officially recognize a Palestinian state within the boundaries set after the 1967 Six Day War, with the others being Argentina, Bolivia, and Ecuador. In 2011, Uruguay, Chile, and Paraguay are also expected to formally recognize a state, and Ecuador is expected to open a Palestinian embassy.
Palestinian President Abbas at a ceremony in Brazil on Friday where he laid the first stone of a future Palestinian embassy.
Rather than help the Palestinian cause, supporting the creation of an independent Palestine outside of negotiations will only harm the Palestinian people. Aside from the fact that the Hamas-Fatah rift has no end in sight, making a cohesive Palestinian state on the Gaza Strip and West Bank extremely difficult, if not impossible, to achieve, it has the potential to bring about a devastating war, as Israel vies for control and the PA tries to rid the West Bank of its Jewish communities, not to mention the probability that empowered Gaza militants will attack.
For the sake of holding on to any chance at creating a true and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, instead of aggravating the situation by recognizing a Palestinian state, countries should be constructive and put pressure on the Palestinians to adopt realistic positions and to continue negotiations.

Angela Williamson is a third-grade teacher at Indian Creek Intermediate School.
Reporter Magen Kritsch recently asked her the following questions:
Why did you want to become a teacher?
As an elementary student, I struggled, but I was very fortunate to have supportive family and teachers. They both worked very hard with me and helped me grow into a very successful student. The many wonderful educators that I encountered during my school years inspired me to go into the teaching profession. I love guiding my students in their educational journey and helping them reach their fullest potential. My hope is that I can make a positive impact on their lives.
Name one thing you have learned from a student.
I love my job because I learn something new every day from my students. A life lesson that I've learned throughout my years in teaching is to always be curious.
What is your favorite subject to teach?
I love to read, and I'm passionate about teaching my students to enjoy literature, too. I enjoy helping my students find a series or a genre that they love to curl up to and read. When a student comes to me and says they don't like to read, I consider that a challenge, and my hope for them is that they find the love in reading before they leave my class.
What is your favorite part of teaching?
I love building a relationship with my students and their families and getting to know them. I have met so many wonderful people and love the diverse personalities and cultures that I've encountered throughout my years of teaching.
What is one book that has had an impact on your life?
"Your Best Life Now," by Joel Osteen
What is your favorite website?
Teachers pay Teachers — It's packed full of wonderful ideas I can utilize in my classroom.
What is your favorite aisle in the grocery store?
Well, since I shop at Target for my groceries, I like to hit up all the clearance aisles in the other areas of the store.
How many texts do you send in a month?
Too many.
What happened on the
happiest day of your life?
The three happiest days of my life were when my three boys were born. Priceless.
What is your morning routine like?
I wake up and usually spend just a few minutes reading. Most mornings I walk on my treadmill and then get myself ready. Then, I wake up my three boys and get them ready for the day. On the way to work, I crank up the radio and sing or listen to a book on audio.
If you had a round-trip ticket anywhere, where would you go?
I would love to go to Europe, more specifically to Italy.

Nick Diaz Interview on Beatdown...
Seriously, for the love of God, as soon as the podcast is up you have to listen to it. I have never laughed so hard in my laugh. I was seriously in tears. Diaz was so faded. Some quotes:
"This is the year of smoking pot...what the **** year is it...I train and smoke to much pot and don't pay attention to that bull****."
"People think im a joke and I'll kick your ****ing ass"
"As long as I live i will continue to whoop ass for the good of Man Kind"
"They shove meth amphetamines right down your children's throats"
"My Gym is pretty clean... we all smoke pot... we don't do drugs"
"What the ****? Where's my fruit? I want my real fruit!"
"People won't smoke ****ty weed but will eat ****ty food"
"They're feeding it to your kids, feeding Red-40 to your children, giving them a chemical imbalance. You gave them too much ****ing red Kool-Aid with red-40 in it and they're bouncing off the ****ing walls"
"healthy food and healthy weed are good things and if you don't agree...**** YOU!"
"I just want a little shack that I can shoot rabbits out the front door with shotgun."
"If you aren't hanging out in your back yard fighting and smoking pot, you might not be a mixed martial artist. And if you are a mixed martial artist and you aren't doing that you're probably a big ****ing *****."
"I live in my parents house and smoke pot. I don't give a ****."
I was seriously in tears at work trying not to burst out in hysterical laughter.

Roles and Responsibilities
The Coordinator
The Coordinator is the primary contact for the Kennedy Center throughout the Any Given Child program, and enlists the participation and support of other community leaders. The position is held by a person who works full-time at the initiative's lead organization, rather than a volunteer. The lead organization supports the Coordinator's efforts by providing the space, materials, equipment, and supplies for Community Arts Team (CAT) meetings.
The Coordinator's responsibilities include facilitating meetings with the Kennedy Center consulting team, maintaining communication with CAT members about tasks and meetings, arranging for materials needed for meetings, providing staff to take meeting minutes, following up on action items between meetings, and distributing approved minutes to the CAT. In addition, the Coordinator attends meetings with the Kennedy Center consulting team prior to and immediately following each CAT meeting and participates in monthly phone calls with the Kennedy Center consulting team.
The Community Arts Team
The Community Arts Team (CAT) is the heart of the Any Given Child strategic planning process. The CAT is comprised of high-level leaders from a diverse cross-section of the community and is responsible for developing and distributing survey instruments that identify arts education resources provided by the schools and the community, reviewing the data resulting from the surveys, and developing long-range goals based on the data.
The Working Group
The Working Group is a small cadre of leaders from within the Community Arts Team (CAT) that are identified jointly by the Coordinator and the Kennedy Center consulting team.
The Working Group discusses issues affecting data collection, communication, and long-range planning. It meets between and immediately following CAT meetings during Phase One. Ideally, the Working Group includes: the Coordinator, a school leader, a member of the philanthropic sector, the researcher in charge of data collection, a member from the communications sector, and an arts organization representative.
The Implementation Committee
The Implementation Committee begins its tenure during Phase Two. It may be the same group of community members as the Community Arts Team (CAT), but often includes new representation. Most communities invite high-level decision makers to serve on this committee, which ensures that the CAT's long-range plan is resourced and carried out. The Implementation Committee is responsible for staffing, funding, programs, communications, and marketing.
The Kennedy Center
The Kennedy Center consulting team attends and facilitates each of the Community Arts Team meetings during the Strategic Planning Phase (Phase One) of the project. In collaboration with the Coordinator, they develop meeting agendas, evaluate the progress of the Any Given Child program, discuss and plan for staffing and resources, address any challenges or questions that emerge, and assist the Coordinator in overseeing the initiative. During the Implementation Phase (Phase Two), Kennedy Center staff may visit to meet with the Implementation Committee and to view the work of the initiative in action. The Kennedy Center consulting team is available throughout the year for consultation by phone and email.

How To Apply For A Non-Immigrant Visa
With very few exceptions, applicants must appear personally for a visa interview. Interviews are by appointment only. Visa issuance cannot be guaranteed. Appointments cannot be scheduled or changed directly through the Embassy or Consulates.
Appointments are scheduled via the website:
If, after using the website you need technical assistance, please call the help desk at (+39) 06 9480 3777 (Italian Number) or 703-439-2365 (US Number). You may also use Skype at usvisaitaly.
On the day of the interview, applicants must present the originals of all required documents. Only applicants with interview appointments will be allowed inside the Consulate. There may be a wait of two hours for the interview.
For security reasons you may enter only at the scheduled appointment time. Do not arrive early. DO NOT bring bags, backpacks, suitcases, baby carriages or any other large or bulky objects. The consulate cannot store them, and you will be refused entry. We advise you to not carry any electronic objects, either. All electronic objects (iPads, MP3 players, computers, mobile phones, etc.) must be checked with security, and can be retrieved as you exit. This can create a delay for you. The embassy is not responsible for any article you leave with the security checkpoint.
We advise you to NOT make final travel plans or purchase tickets before receiving your visa. There is no guarantee you will receive a visa, and sometimes long delays are possible for those who do receive a visa.
If you are renewing your visa, and meet specific requirements, you do not need an interview.

Judge Megan Shanahan
Hamilton County
Municipal Court
Municipal Court Judge Megan E. Shanahan represents Hamilton County's Fourth Judicial District.
Judge Shanahan was elected in November 2011 in a landslide victory in which she carried 77 of 86 precincts and took over 60 percent of the vote.
The Cincinnati Enquirer named Judge Shanahan as one of the "Women to Watch in 2012," and noted that with her election she became the" youngest of the 14 Hamilton County Municipal Court judges, achieving a growing respect as a courthouse leader and political force."
Throughout her career, Judge Shanahan has shown a commitment to public safety. Prior to joining the bench, Judge Shanahan was a senior member of the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office, and made her mark as one of its top litigators. She was entrusted with the most serious cases that the office handled. She successfully tried over 50 jury trials
As an assistant prosecutor, she was a courtroom pioneer in prosecuting child predators. In a past case, she persuaded the court to allow closed circuit television for the live testimony of a child victim. This allowed the child to testify in a separate room so as not to be intimidated by his offender, while at the same time protecting the defendant's constitutional rights. The jury voted to convict due to the child's testimony.
It is this type of innovative thinking that was rewarded by the Hope in Heels Organization, a group that recognizes those who advocate for victims of crime. She was the recipient of the Peggy Caldwell Award for her professionalism, creativity, and determination in working with victims of violent crime in 2009.
Judge Shanahan's career in public service began in the Butler County Prosecutor's Office. She diligently prosecuted those who violated the obscenity laws, while also protecting free speech. She successfully negotiated the closure of a business that sold pornography and obscene materials. She also prosecuted the largest child pornography case in Butler County history, as of 2003.
Born and raised in the coal country of western Pennsylvania Judge Shanahan, the youngest of eight children, earned her bachelor of arts degree from Kent State University in 1995 before going on to earn her law degree from the University of Cincinnati's College of Law in 2000.
Judge Shanahan frequently lectures at schools and civic groups. She has supported the Cincinnati Living Hope organization that helps provide transitional housing for homeless women and their children. Judge Shanahan is a member of St. Cecilia Church in Oakley. She is married and resides in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I'm 18 weeks pregnant with twins, and I've gained 3 pounds. I didn't have morning sickness, but I was about 10 pounds over weight when I got pregnant. The doctor told me to count that ten pounds as my 1st trimester weight, and then start putting on pounds in the second trimester. I was condernced that I had only gained 3 pounds, but the doctor wasn't. I get ultrasounds every two weeks and the boys are growing at a normal pace, so I'm considering myself lucky.posted 05/31/2011 by Gliebetwins
Well I feel a little better. I am 18 weeks as of yesterday and I am still one pound in the negative. I don't show at all and I can still fit in all of my clothes. When I say I'm pregnant people laugh and think I'm joking. I was put on a strict "weight gain" diet if you can imagine. Cream cheese on my bagel and frozen yogurt and ice cream. I have to laugh. I have never tried so hard to gain weight.posted 01/10/2011 by librielangel1225

LAS VEGAS – Manny Pacquiao's suite, which has a separate room for him, a kitchen, a holding and dining area and a mini-bar, was buzzing with activity Thursday even as his rematch with Tim Bradley looms on the desert horizon.
After working out for the last time at the Top Rank Gym a few blocks away from The Hotel, the official residence of his team, Pacquiao staged a mini-concert at the main receiving area before dining on steamed white rice, chicken tinola, fried fish, mushroom beef, vegetables and two bottles of Fiji natural artesian water.
Pacquiao didn't look and act as though he is about to embark on a crucial fight that would determine what's down the road the 35-year-old future Hall of Famer.
Pacquiao belted out four songs, including a gospel tune, as a large crowd of people took pictures with him, including Sen. Ralph Recto, Bacolod City mayor Bing Leonardia and Navotas congressman Toby Tiangco.
Before heading back to his room, Pacquiao held a short chat with Recto but they didn't disclose what they talked about and Pacquiao spent the rest of the evening reading Biblical verses as two aides gently massaged his calf, tired from all the beating caused by an eight-week training preparation that kicked off in the Philippines.
"I am ready to go," said Pacquiao, who will attempt not only to beat the 30-year-old Bradley but exact payback following the heartbreaking spit decision he suffered when they first fought in June 2012 at the MGM Grand, the same venue where they will square off Saturday night.
Before calling it a day, Pacquiao watched an NBA game between the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors on television with former PBA player and coach Rino Salazar, now living in Alaska, just a few feet away and later met with key members of his staff.
Pacquiao is expected to breeze through the official weighin scheduled Friday afternoon after which he will consume a full-sized meal and spend the rest of the day holed up in his suite.
"No problem with the weight," said Pacquiao, who will be fighting for the 24th time on American soil after making his debut here in June 2001.
Earlier in the day, Pacquiao staged a light workout in the presence of Roach and members of his training team and was lively and cheerful during the entire proceedings.
Also present when Pacquiao worked out were Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, who he defeated in 2009, Russian Ruslan Provodnikov and Chinese Olympic legend Zou Shiming, all trained by Freddie Roach.
They are all going to cheer for Pacquiao at ringside as the fighting congressman aims to turn back the hands of time.
"My time is not yet up," said Pacquiao, who intends to fight in the next two years before finally announcing his retirement.
