Hey girls! So I had my 24 week check up today at the MW said I was measuring 27 weeks and I am 24 weeks.....and I am pretty sure about our date of conception.....the good news is that I 'earned myself an extra u/s" at my next visit. That is also the visit where the check me for gestational diabetes and all of that...I am kind of worried (even though she said there is nothing to worry about)??
Me and DH were both large babies but she said I have measured within normal range at all my other appointments and I am not that big....and I havent gained that much weight either...When I look at all my friends who are due around the same time as me or even before, I look smaller....so I am confused and worried....I know she is big because she is killing my ribs and she kicking non-stop! But I was just wondering if anyone has any insight on this??

Template talk:Indiana in the Civil War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|WikiProject United States / Indiana
|(Rated Template-class)
Flag of Indiana[edit]
Would anyone object if I replaced the image of the Indiana state flag in this template with File:US flag 35 stars.svg, the U.S. flag used 1863-1865 in the Civil War? The reason is that Indiana didn't have a state flag until the present one was chosen in 1917, so it's somewhat misleading to include it with a feature relating specifically to the Civil War. -- Cuppysfriend (talk) 19:08, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

What's Next
Our recently released research, Sustainability Incorporated: Integrating Sustainability into Business, calls out the need for business to further embed sustainability into its core strategies. The report highlights five pathways that sustainability practitioners can leverage to more deeply integrate sustainability into their business: employing business model thinking; putting materiality to use; applying a sustainability lens to products and services; tapping into culture; and leveraging transparency. In the fourth of a five-part series, which was originally published on GreenBiz, we focus on leveraging transparency.
SustainAbility has long recognized that corporate transparency is integral to sustainability. We have been active contributors to the evolution of sustainability reporting, from publishing our Global Reporters series (1994-2008) to fundamentally questioning reporting's present day value in "See Change: How Transparency Drives Performance." Ultimately, we recognize that reporting is just one tactic in a much broader, more strategic transparency evolution. With this in mind we explore how an emergent aspect of transparency – integrated reporting – can both drive and reflect larger efforts to integrate sustainability into business.
Guest contributor Seb Beloe is Head of Sustainability Research at WHEB Asset Management and a SustainAbility Council member. This article was originally published on the WHEB blog.
In November WHEB Asset Management published a blog highlighting deep flaws in ESG research that focuses exclusively on how companies operate, while ignoring the impact of products and services. In this article, we take aim at another part of the ESG industry that has become popular in recent years – ESG ratings.
ESG issues are clearly material to company performance – the question is which ones
It is important at the outset to underline that our investment process at WHEB utilises environmental, social and governance (ESG) information as a core part of our investment analysis. To quote from our Responsible Investment Policy, "We have strong conviction in the impact of ESG issues on company performance either in their own right or as a wider proxy for the quality of a business franchise, especially over a multi-year investment horizon."
It has been more than two decades since policymakers, scientists, NGOs and other changemakers gathered in Rio de Janeiro for a historic summit that would set the direction of sustainable development for years to come. Since the 1992 Earth Summit, progress on climate change and sustainability has been uneven, and, many will argue, disappointing. As the date of the United Nations climate change conference in Paris approaches, the global community is facing another seminal year, building hopes that the December 2015 summit will mark the beginning of a new chapter with ambitious goals and more decisive action.
For SustainAbility and GlobeScan's annual Sustainability Leaders survey, we asked expert stakeholders representing business, government, NGOs and academia across 82 countries to evaluate the progress that institutions have made since the 1992 Earth Summit and reflect on their expectations for the next 20 years.
The SustainAbility London office regularly invites practitioners from within our network to speak to the team over lunch to share insights from their own work as well as their perspective on the sustainability landscape at large.
We were delighted to welcome Adrian Henriques, independent adviser on corporate transparency, public sector accountability, and civil society development. Adrian is an experienced sustainability professional with more than 15 years in the field. He independently researches and advises both the private and public sectors – for the likes of M&S, Camelot, GRI and social enterprises – and is a Visiting Professor of Accountability and CSR at Middlesex University Business School.
With a long career in sustainability and the accountability agenda, we were interested to hear Adrian's perspective that "optimism is quite dangerous" in regards to the evolution of corporate sustainability and CSR over the last 15 years. Below are the highlights from our discussion.
SustainAbility's recently released research See Change: How Transparency Drives Performance proposes a solution to the stalled state of sustainability reporting and transparency. See Change highlights three key elements that must be addressed in order to gain the most value from transparency and reporting efforts: materiality, valuation of externalities and integration. This is the last in a three-part series that explores those elements.
Earlier in this series we explored how materiality and the valuation of externalities enable companies to focus their transparency efforts and leverage the value of sustainability reporting. This final article discusses how companies can apply materiality and externalities valuation to integrate sustainability across the business.
True integration of sustainability means that material issues effectively are addressed within business functions and seen as critical to the company's viability. Integration enables companies to understand internally, and — where relevant — communicate externally, how they create value and to better manage performance on critical issues.
SustainAbility's recently released research, See Change: How Transparency Drives Performance, proposes a solution to the somewhat stalled state of sustainability reporting and transparency. "See Change" highlights three key elements that must be addressed in order to gain the most value from transparency and reporting efforts: materiality; valuation of externalities; and integration. What follows is the first of a three-part series that will explore those elements.
Most sustainability reports contain vast quantities of information about a company's environmental and social impacts. While this generally means an increase in transparency, it also has led to lengthy, costly and minimally read reports. The resources devoted to gathering data and creating narratives ultimately are not bringing enough value to companies and their stakeholders. How can we improve these reporting efforts and ensure that the powerful data and narratives in these reports are leveraged to inform decisions? …
Labels can be tricky and distracting things. "Corporate citizenship," "corporate social responsibility," "shared value," "triple bottom line," "sustainable development," and "sustainability" are just a few of the terms used by the broad array of professionals nudging business to play a positive role in society.
It may seem a bit tenuous for someone in the full-time employ of an organization called "SustainAbility" to make such a pronouncement, but in keeping with the rose-by-any-other-name-would-smell-as-sweet philosophy, I suggest the discussion about labels be set aside for good and that 2015 be embraced as the year of The Obvious.
It is obvious, for example, that soiling your home—literally the dwelling in which you live, or figuratively the community from which you and others draw water, breathe air, produce food, and go about day-to-day life—with toxic substances that can quickly or slowly kill you is, well, a pretty bad idea. …
Reporting on an unsustainable business model
As I was reviewing the selections for "best report" for Corporate Register's 2015 Reporting Awards I found myself thinking, enough is enough. The most recent round of finalists includes British American Tobacco (BAT). It is true that the company is doing progressive things and has long been used as an example of a highly transparent company in a challenging industry. But if we want to create a sustainable future, can we continue to give plaudits to companies that lead in transparency and disclosure yet have fundamentally unsustainable business models? …
Sustainability reporting is stalled. Companies are spending too much time and too many resources creating lengthy reports that few read. However, sustainability reporting and transparency have also brought many benefits, helping companies manage key environmental and social impacts and build trust and credibility with stakeholders. And yet, we are failing to tap into the potential value of reporting and transparency – value that could provide vital information to more directly inform decisions that drive better business and societal outcomes.
Our latest research which launched today, See Change: How Transparency Drives Performance, proposes a solution. Informed by over 50 interviews and a survey of nearly 500 sustainability practitioners, See Change features three key elements of transparency, six case studies, and a practical tool. Specifically, the Transparency Advancement Tool guides companies to develop their transparency efforts by focusing on what is strategically important (i.e., materiality), valuation of externalities, and integration….
This interview was originally published in the summer issue of Radar Magazine – Issue 04: Better, Connected.
At the end of 2013, SustainAbility was pleased to welcome The Partnering Initiative (TPI) to share its London office space. TPI is one of the leading organisations driving the theory and practice of collaboration between business, NGOs, governments and others.
Rob Cameron recently spent a morning in conversation with TPI's Executive Director, Darian Stibbe, discussing the challenges and opportunities that cross-sector partnership and collaboration can bring to business, NGOs and governments.
Rob Cameron: Partnering is necessary for making progress in sustainability given the scale of the challenges we face. But it is surprisingly difficult to find great examples of partnerships that really deliver. How do you make partnerships successful?
Darian Stibbe: Firstly, there has to be an alignment of interest. We sometimes talk about 'Davos syndrome' in which, for example, a CEO of a company and the head of a UN agency agree to launch a partnership, but when it comes down to making it happen on the ground, there is the realisation that there is insufficient overlap of interest between the two organisations. You have to start off with a clear and necessary overlap of interest and that can be a challenge in itself. …
Sustainability reporting is stalled. That is, reporting is simply not driving as much impact as it could.
This is not to say that reporting has not evolved since its early days or led to important and useful information and action. It certainly has. Companies that have been monitoring and reporting on an array of social and environmental issues spanning many years have created numerous baselines, data sets, subject-matter expertise and collaborative relationships upon which to build.
Impact-wise, reporting has enabled efficiency gains, informed stakeholders about key issues, enhanced corporate reputations, and started to inform some investor decisions. …
This post has been co-authored by Michael Harvey and Margo Mosher.
Materiality has taken the main stage of the sustainability agenda – and for good reason. The practice of identifying and prioritising the sustainability issues that matter enables a company to make better decisions overall. When business leaders make decisions that recognise both financial and sustainability material issues, and the relationships between them, they can position their businesses to effectively manage operations and set strategies for the long term.
Conducting a robust materiality assessment that focuses on the most strategically material issues and engages corporate strategy teams in the process involves understanding:
- How can the materiality assessment process better serve the changing needs of a company?
- How can the outputs of a materiality process be integrated into the business?
- What is the best way to communicate the outputs of a materiality process, internally and externally?
- Who needs to know about these issues from the company's perspective, and how can they use this information?
SustainAbility has revised its own approach to materiality to help companies achieve greater integration of the outputs within this process. This approach – or "materiality 2.0" – addresses the above questions in a way that builds on existing good practice and reflects what we see as representing the next step in the evolution of materiality approaches. …
The continued downward slide of government leadership in driving the sustainability agenda forward, coupled with lackluster policy and advocacy engagement from the private sector, is the inconvenient truth revealed in this year's GlobeScan / SustainAbility Survey, The 2014 Sustainability Leaders.
While a clear majority of experts see collaboration with governments as the "most effective" approach companies can take to creating pro-sustainability policies, less than a third believe companies will engage in this manner, as noted in our 2012 Collaborating for a Sustainable Future report. …
World Cup season is upon us! The global event that football fans around the world have all been awaiting has started. All eyes are on the 32 national teams that will be competing in Brazil for the next five weeks.
I was 11 years old when my country, France, hosted and won the World Cup in 1998. The national pride when Les Bleus lifted the trophy before the eyes of millions of people around the world was overwhelming. Surely any event driving this much passion globally should never be called into question? But my grown-up self now wonders if all this enthusiasm could be used to drive much needed positive environmental change?
This article originally appeared in Radar Issue 03: What Chance Change? Exploring Sustainable Finance.
Jessica Fries helps companies integrate sustainability into core business processes and activities. Denise Delaney, based in SustainAbility's London office, caught up with her on the latest initiatives by A4S and IIRC.
Denise Delaney: Why establish a CFO Leadership Network?
Jessica Fries: The CFO Leadership Network is part of The Prince of Wales's Accounting for Sustainability Project (A4S). A4S's primary focus is on the role of the finance and accounting community in creating sustainable business models and a sustainability economy. We did some research in 2012, which really highlighted the perception among different groups that CFOs were unconvinced that there was a commercial rationale for integrating sustainability into the running and operation of the business. We had been working with a number of CFOs who felt very strongly that the commercial case was clear and were interested in developing practical ways to integrate sustainability into financial decision-making, understand what others were doing to advance thinking and convince their peers of the imperative to act. The CFO Leadership Network emerged. …
When our recent report Changing Tack asked: "What will it take to accelerate and scale systems-level sustainability solutions?" the answer helped define what we believe leadership will need to look like. Changing Tack presents the six attributes of leadership as follows: …
At the end of 2013, we asked a select group of clients and experts from our network what they thought would be on the horizon for sustainability in 2014. We published over 20 responses in the most recent edition of Radar and from time to time, we'll highlight those responses on our blog.
"I see the emergence of a new approach to sustainable marketing, an approach that is in tune with how consumers shop: moving away from the ineffective approach of just giving consumers information to constructing a shopping environment that will help consumers notice, remember, see and ultimately buy sustainable brands."
— Daniel Vennard, Global Sustainability Director for Brands, Mars Inc.
"An increased focus on ESG materiality assessment as a mainstream corporate responsibility practice (with the new focus on materiality in the GRI G4 guidelines, SASB, and IIRC efforts)."
— Steve Lippman, Director, Corporate Citizenship, Microsoft …
The long-awaited framework from the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) was released late last year, offering a set of guidelines to more deeply integrate sustainability into corporate objectives and to holistically account for the value businesses create. Integrated reporting (IR) is on its way to becoming the new norm for reporting.
At the integrated reporting launch in December in London, the Prince of Wales' comment that IR has the potential to "communicate value for the 21st century" echoes this sentiment. As described in an earlier blog post, the framework helps solve a number of problems presented by conventional sustainability reporting, such as the failure to account for all sources of value and impact, the overwhelming length of reports, and the challenge to communicate the important link between sustainability and financial performance to stakeholders. …
Between traditional news channels, blogs, and social media, it can be hard to keep up with what's making waves in the field of sustainable development. In this roundup we aim to cut through the noise with a handful of highlights that have caught our eye.
Improving Transparency to Tackle Corruption
Transparency International's latest report, Transparency in Corporate Reporting: Assessing Emerging Market Multinationals, evaluates the reporting practices of 100 companies in emerging economies including China, India and Brazil. The companies assessed in the study achieved an average score of 46% in reporting on their anti-corruption programmes with Chinese companies achieving the lowest scores….
Transparency on the rise
Corporate transparency is a wide and complex terrain, including everything from legally required disclosures to employee tweets, much of it having nothing to do with sustainability. However, an increasing number of transparency initiatives are focused on social and environmental outcomes, from the rise in sustainability reporting over the last twenty years, to more recent bursts of open innovation. This increase in transparency represents a tremendous opportunity for business, the environment, and society at large if six key elements are done right.
Transparency spreads far beyond reporting
With the generation and capture of ever-larger streams of data, many sustainability professionals are asking, "What is the future of reporting?" Given the pace and nature of the changes afoot, that might simply be the wrong question for those working to drive the sustainability agenda forward.

City car crash damages houseMay 22,2013Car crash
damages house
A car crash at the intersection of Forest and South streets in Rutland damaged a home when one of the cars careened into the porch.
Two children in one of the vehicles were taken to the hospital for examination, according to city police.
Police say two cars crashed in the intersection at around 9:30 p.m. Sunday. One of the drivers, 26-year-old Bethany Thompson of Rutland, failed to yield to another car already in the intersection driven by 29-year-old Sheila Nichols of Rutland, according to police.
When the two vehicles collided, Nichols sandals reportedly became stuck to the pedal and she was unable to stop the car before it struck the porch of the house at 101 Forest St. The damage to the structure was described as significant with more than $2,000 worth of repairs estimated by the homeowner.
Police said two children ages 3 and 8 who were riding in the backseat of Thompsons car were taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center after the crash.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

I got this product on final clearance and was delighted by the weight and quality of it. The colors are great and very close to the picture shown. I'm 115lbs with thin wrists and the fit is great - it slides on easily (the stretch is forgiving) and isn't so large on me that it's flopping around when I move my arms. Some of the orange beads have small holes and imperfections kind of like coral. Its nothing that affects the overall look of the piece, in my opinion.
I'm small (150cm) and skinny so everything is like that with my body :)

Reader Forum: Acquisition
An FCW reader argues that award fees lead to better work from contractors
That's because they are in business to make money, and they are correctly incentivized by the better profit potential of an award-fee contract.
As a contractor myself, I know we put our best effort and best people into the work to earn that award fee. We want the profit, and we don't want to fail or perform at any level less than excellent in a performance-based contract. In the end, we earn that award, and the government achieves its important mission-performance goals. Everybody wins.
That win-win characteristic is the reason why the government is committed to more performance-based contracting in our capitalist economy.
As the Office of Management and Budget asserts, financial incentives, such as cost-plus-award-fee contracts, should be used in performance-based contracting when they will induce better quality or lower costs in the agency's mission performance. In its guide, OMB provides many examples of demonstrably good work by contractors as a result of performance-based contracting. For example, NASA reduced program costs for the space station by $350 million since 1990 through the use of special contract incentives — pretty good work, I'd say.
Perhaps the best example of successful performance-based contracting is the Interstate 10 freeway repair that occurred in California after the Northridge earthquake in January 1994. The heavily damaged freeway was reopened on April 11, 1994, just 84 days after the earthquake and 66 days ahead of schedule. That earned the contractor a bonus — i.e., an award fee — of $14.8 million from the California Department of Transportation.
Does it qualify as an "obscene profit"? I don't think so, especially when you consider how many billions of dollars of lost economic value were saved that would otherwise have occurred in California during those 66 days.
Performance-based contracting provides another incentive beyond that initial profit. Every contractor knows that his good performance on a performance-based contract is the key to winning future contracts. If he performs poorly, he will damage his reputation and lose the chance for future business. Therefore, he will do everything to please the customer and avoid failing.
There is only one caveat for performance-based contracting and award fees, the same caveat that OMB notes. The contract must carefully and quantitatively define what constitutes good performance and have a quality assurance plan that monitors, measures and rewards good performance correctly and objectively. It's when those elements are missing that contractors don't produce as required, as the FCW reader pointed out.

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In December of 2011, my wife and I planned our yearly trip to Costa Rica. We made reservations for the new year in Playa Guiones with a travel agency called Nosara Travel & Rentals. The agency is run by two expats named Heidi and Rick. We planned a 7 day/8 night stay in one of Heidi and Ricks luxury rentals that featured precious hardwoods, a weekly maid, and was patrolled by Security Pacific. Little did we know that we wouldnt even stay an entire day with Nosara Travel & Rentals.
On the surface Nosara Travel & Rentals seems like a great resource for vacationers...until you deal with the dishonesty and bad business practices of its owners.Heidi and Rick are NOT property owners- they are vacation property brokers. They help local property owners rent to people looking to stay in Nosara and Costa Rica. They collect a commision from the property owner on all transactions completed through their business. [continued below]....
To reserve our rental, Nosara Travel & Rentals asked for a CASH deposit of $1200 (half of the total due on the rental). They would not provide a contract or a formal receipt for this CASH ONLY transaction. They would not accept credit cards or checks. We received an email one month before our stay confirming they had received our cash deposit. This gave Heidi, Rick and their staff nearly 30 days to prepare the property for our stay. Instead, they took our money and gave us an unlivable, unsafe, and unsanitary rental.
Upon our arrival, the rest of the rental fee was required in CASH. In speaking with several friends who are business owners in Costa Rica, and with the Ministerio de Haceienda, we were advised that this practice is ILLEGAL in Costa Rica. Nonetheless, we agreed to Nosara Travel & Rentals terms and received the keys to our unit. The home was represented as a luxury rental. Upon arrival, we found it was far from it.
- We were told by the representative who brought us to the house that it had been cleaned that day. It clearly had not. When we complained to the broker, she insisted it had been cleaned the day before.
- A worm infestation was present in our bedding, on the floor and surfaces around the house.
- Our linens included stained sheets and pillows. The couches and daybed were also stained.
- The trash had not been taken out and the receptacle in the bathroom contained human waste from the previous renter.
- Surfaces in the kitchen, bedroom and living areas were covered in layers of dust and dirt.
- A chair broke apart into pieces once sat upon by my petite wife. Upon inspection, the chair had previously been broken and haphazardly glued back together creating a dangerous situation.
- The house did not have functioning hot water.
- The broker represented the property as a 5 minute walk to the beach. The actual walk was 20 minutes.
- We were promised security guards who would be watching the house at all times.
During the first and only night of our stay, two men appeared our doorstep around 1 AM.
When approached, they fled from the house on a dirt bike. We never saw a security guard during our time at the property.
Over $2400 in payment to Nosara Travel & Rentals for one terrible night.
Additionally, we had to secure another hotel reservation for the remainder of our stay. After checking into our new hotel we attempted to recoup all or at least some of our money from Nosara Travel & Rentals. We entered their office and spoke with one of the brokers. She said she would ask the owner if they would refund us our money then aggressively and rudely questioned us before asking us to leave her office.
We later received an email saying that the owner would not refund our money. After asking for reimbursement of the 20% commision Nosara Travel & Rentals received from the property owner, we were told to contact their attorney with any further correspondence about the matter.
For your own sake, do not do business with Nosara Travel & Rentals. Its a shame that people like this move down from the States and conduct business in this manner. By only accepting cash payments for their transactions, they are leaving customers without recourse and, more importantly, they fail to contribute taxes that are needed to grow and support government programs, infrastructure and education in the local community.
If youve been affected by Nosara Travel & Rentals or any other shady rental businesses in the Nosara/Costa Rica area, do as we have done. Go to the local newspaper and tell them your story. Report your experience to the Department of Tourism or a local trade organization. Take legal action against those who have wronged you. In doing so, you will help put these businesses in their place and help the local community as well.
We love coming to Costa Rica. The people are so friendly and welcoming. In order to preserve the report between locals and visitors/expats, businesses like Nosara Travel & Rentals must not be successful. Help support the Costa Rican Department of Tourism and Pura Vida by only supporting reputable local businesses!

Tarver: I'm Going To Let My Hands Go With Green
Antonio Tarver has promised fight fans will see a different fighter then he makes his cruiserweight debut later this month.
The former light-heavyweight world champion will challenge Australian Danny Green for the IBO title on July 20.
Having lost back-to-back fights with Chad Dawson in 2008 and 2009, Tarver is rebuilding his career and last time out - in October - beat Nagy Aguilera at heavyweight when he weighed in at a whopping 221lbs.
Now preparing to fight at the 200lbs limit, Tarver said: "I'm in great shape, you're going to see my muscles, you're going to see me looking fabulously in shape and you're going to see a different fighter.
"I'm going to let my hands go like I did in most of my best light-heavyweight fights, when I fought guys like Glen Johnson the second time.
"When I let my hands go and I'm standing there toe-to-toe and boxing sort of like I did with Clinton Woods, I'm a hard guy to beat."
The American is not too bothered about Green, saying the Sydney fight will boil down to how he performs.
"I haven't watched any film on Green. I've seen some fights, but I let my trainers do that. I'm not worried about film because I can watch any film, and nobody he's faced looks like me.
"I don't get stuck on watching film too much because the last time I did that, it was against Eric Harding. By watching film I never thought that Eric Harding could ever beat me on my worst night, and it was one of my worst losses. I got my jaw broke, and I never did that again.
"I worry about me. I'm not really worried about Danny Green because he's got two hands and he can't throw but one at a time, and that's a simple thing to worry about - one punch at a time coming at me.
"He's not going kick me, he's not going to throw both hands, so I simplify it. We're going see what his best hands can do against my two best hands."
His trainer Jimmy Williams says Tarver is "sharp as he's ever been" at the age of 42.
Williams, who Tarver has returned to again having worked with him as a child, said: "he's been fighting for almost 20 years and it's still in him.
"I brought him back to the basics and fundamentals that got him to where he was.
"He's bigger than Danny Green, taller, and more experienced. The guy has no skills...we can run him."
Green is going to kill this bum. He is a disgrace for the decaying sport. I'll like to see Green make a very lucrative fight like he deserve. He's been underestimated even when he is one of the best pfp…Comment by Da7thsign on 07-07-2011
Does anyone have any videos or pics of him training? I want to see what kind of shape he is in because he's talking as if he's back in prime shape, but the last time he was fighting it was…Comment by Evil Abed on 07-07-2011
Fix the title.Comment by TyrantT316 on 07-07-2011
Tarver frustrates me. I am actually ok with him commentating...but his fighting in recent years lacks passion. He's too relaxed and for a period I think got too focused on landing more Jones KO2ish shots on all of his opponents…Comment by Thickear on 07-07-2011
Tarver will be found wanting for energy, even in a slow motion fight. Granny Deen by decision.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (8)

ew... I never liked guys in tight suits...
It's so trashy, it's already funny again.
this is damn great! but what happened to k? just taking a pee i guess
then the RGB boys came crashing the party.
Arnold Santillan
the RGB boys have been converted. it took some mutilation to convert them into honest CMYKers.
you're right concerning yellow.
you're wrong concerning black.
in inkjet printing, black is a colour.
it's called "4C" printing, not "3C".
Perhaps it's mainly in Canada, but there are a lot of ads using this 'body suit' technique these days, which is why this doesn't work as well for me. They all look the same.

A family with roots in Turlock is hoping that their old neighbors and friends can come to their aid as they find themselves far from home and unable to return because of a medical crisis.
As the Stanislaus County Fair opened its gates Friday for the 105th anniversary of the event, Central Valley residents gathered to partake in the sights, sounds, tastes and memories that can only be found at the fair.
A hospital CEO, school board trustee and representatives of Turlock's police and fire departments will soon trip the light fantastic while trying to raise money for local nonprofits as part of the 2016 Dancing With the Turlock Stars event.
Type of business: Furniture store
Once a year the Fresno Food Expo brings together growers, processors, manufacturers and industry service providers from across California to connect and discuss business with buyers worldwide.
For the first time since 2013, California's almond crop yield is projected to be over two billion pounds.
There are a number of signs that Turlock is finally turning the corner on economic recovery. The downtown is bustling with shoppers and diners. New companies are breaking ground at the City's industrial park and longtime Turlock businesses are expanding their operations.
Turlock residents will soon have a park unlike any other in town, complete with opportunities for both adults and children to exercise and play.
July in the Central Valley is always a hot prospect. While nowhere near as hot as last week's record 104 to 106 degree temperatures, the thermometer will hover around the 90 degree mark as the Stanislaus County Fair makes its 2016 debut on Friday.
As the summer progresses and more people turn to the outdoors, the area's mosquito abatement districts are reminding residents that West Nile Virus is a serious threat in the region and precautions should be taken to avoid the potentially deadly bites of mosquitoes.
Nearly 12,000 community members lined Main Street in Turlock on Monday as the city celebrated the nation's birthday with its annual Fourth of July Downtown Parade. Visitors saw a number of new sights in Turlock for the holiday, including the first time that a Stanislaus State president has participated in the parade and the revival of the car show.
When Turlock resident Russell Lanini goes out for a drive people stop and take notice. Of course, it would be hard to not notice the two-and-a-half ton truck bouncing down the road.
Come Monday night the warm July sky will sparkle and twinkle with fireworks all around Turlock neighborhoods, and the Turlock Fire Department wants to remind residents to only use those that are legally permitted in the city.
Turlock residents driving along Countryside Drive may have noticed the assemblage of buildings that are being constructed as part of the latest Monte Vista Crossings expansion. The final phases of development, Monte Vista Crossings South and Countryside at Tuolumne, will make local shoppers happy as over 80,000 square feet of retail will be added to the space.
From coast-to-coast, people from all over the United States will be celebrating the coming holiday with friends, family and of course lots of fireworks. This Independence Day weekend provides the unique added bonus of a three-day weekend, meaning more time to enjoy visiting loved ones and another day off from work.

This is a short paragraph of an email I was sent by them..."Before going any further, Lynn, let me make one thing clear . . . you were selected for publication on the basis of your previously published photo. Your new photo, which you will select for this edition, will be accepted for publication on the basis of your previous accomplishments. Your prior photo was among the most interesting pictures we have encountered, so we wish to feature your artistry in this special edition and make this special prize money available to you and the others who have been chosen. You are under no obligation whatsoever to submit any entry fee or subsidy payment, or to make any purchase of any kind."
But then they ask for money to claim my prizes. They are a complete rip-off and should be stopped before they scam even more people. The worst part is they have a personal photograph of a family member that who knows what they are going to do with it, and probably will cash in themselves using my photo.

That is the thing that burns like an open wound oozing with betrayal all on account of one's own gullibility, I guess I have mostly my self to blame for believing. I received a letter from them also, stating that I was selected for publishing, and that I was a "semi finalist" my art was recognized ect.. and I was so happy, I then checked my email in junk, (I had them on spam) and saw that I was was invited to the convention in Las Vegas and selected win some stupid award, and maybe 20,000 dollars, but now I'm not going(obviously) and I'm most definitely not buying their stupid "book" I loathe them deeply. They've fooled us all into thinking our art was good in their eyes, but we're are nothing but another statistic,mindless fools, another dollar. I hope they fall to pieces for what they have done, I would rather be not good, than be nothing, and to them you and I are nothing.
I'm glad I never told my family that I was so stupid, I'm glad I never paid for anything, and for those of you who have, my deepest condolences, may your pockets see a better day,and your hearts heal from humiliation.

Dr. Stephen Pompea
Observatory Scientist
Department Head, Education and Public Outreach
National Optical Astronomy Observatory
Stephen Pompea has been an innovator throughout his career.
As a college student, he worked on a major interdisciplinary research project on the evolution of the Moon with a fellow student, and they continued this work in their spare time until it was published in Nature magazine. As a teacher, he dressed and performed as Galileo to motivate his students. His astronomy class designed and built an inflatable planetarium. As an aerospace engineer, he invented the world's blackest coating (which was patented) for use on NASA space telescopes, designed an inexpensive motor that worked in space at temperatures near absolute zero, and invented a new method of undersea communication using lasers.
His innovative approaches to science education were recognized in 2016 when he was named the recipient of the Robert A. Millikan Medal from the American Association of Physics Teachers for his "notable and intellectually creative contributions to the teaching of physics." His contributions to science education are in many diverse areas.
He served as the U.S. Director for the highly successful International Year of Astronomy 2009 and led the U.S. Telescope Kits and Optics Challenges Working Group. He was invited to both the first (2009) and second (2016) White House Star Parties, and created a high-quality telescope kit for students to see the rings of Saturn. Over 200,000 people worldwide now own their own "Galileoscope". He was the director of one of the nation's largest programs for teachers and students to conduct authentic astronomical research with observatory telescopes, including the Spitzer Space Telescope. He co-led a project for the International Year of Light 2015 that used problem-based learning to address the challenges of light pollution.
Dr. Pompea was the co-lead for a large, long-term program at the University of Arizona to train science graduate students to work in K-12 classrooms. He has consulted on many leading- and bleeding-edge education projects with organizations such as the NASA Classroom of the Future, the University of California, Berkeley's Space Science Laboratory, the Space Science Institute in Boulder, and the Lawrence Hall of Science. These innovative projects have included the design of science centers, science exhibits, instructional materials, and multimedia programs.
In 2011 Dr. Pompea was awarded the Esther Hoffman Beller Medal from the Optical Society of America for his contributions to optical sciences education and especially for his work in creating the Galileoscope student telescope kit. He is a Fellow of SPIE¬–The International Society for Optics and Photonics and also is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America–one of the few astronomers elected as a Fellow of either society. For his educational work, he has received many honors, including two NASA Group Achievement awards and the Metropolitan Education Commission's Crystal Apple Award. He was named a National Association of Geoscience Teachers Distinguished Lecturer from 2007-2010.
After teaching junior high and high school in public schools in Colorado, he joined Martin Marietta Aerospace in Denver, holding the rank of Senior Engineer when he left. He then served as Instrument Scientist at the University of Arizona for the NASA NICMOS instrument for the Hubble Space Telescope and later served as Infrared Instrument Scientist for the international Gemini 8-Meter Telescopes Project. He has consulted widely on the design of optical systems.
Dr. Pompea did his undergraduate work in physics, space physics, and astronomy at Rice University, his Master's in physics teaching at Colorado State University, and his Ph.D. in astronomy at the University of Arizona.
He is the author, coauthor, or editor of 15 books in optics and science education, over 125 papers, and has given over 365 presentations at professional conferences. Pompea is an adjunct faculty member of the University of Arizona with previous adjunct appointments at Colorado State University and the University of Arkansas.
Since 2002, he has led education and public outreach programs at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory. He was named as NOAO's first Observatory Scientist in 2014.

GO-LIFE MALE + FEMALE NASAL MINIMAL CONTACT CPAP/BiPAP MASK - Philips Respironics £120.00
This is the Recently Released GoLife CPAP Nasal Mask which comes in 2 different versions for Men and Women, and the masks are as unique in shape and structure as the men and women who wear them.GoLife is Philips Respironics' first Nasal Pillows Mask to be built around the unique features of men and women. The result is a gender-specific fit that provides tremendous stability. At first glance it's clear these two masks share a common platform, yet they're quite different.
The most obvious distinctions are the attractive colours that differentiate GoLife for Men and GoLife for Women, but the real beauty is more than skin deep.
Hope2Sleep's personal evaluation is:-
- The super lightweight 15mm tubing is of enormous benefit to prevent drag and loss of seal.
- Unique vertical angle on the pillow means superior fit which gives improved sleep.
- Head gear is very soft and the great variety of pillows which come in the pack, ensure this mask will fit perfectly first time. (Once you have determined the correct size for you, then further Pillow Cushions can be ordered separately in individual sizes).
A closer look reveals the true design advantages of each:
- The GoLife platform is built around a simple concept with few parts.

Hello -
I would like to free up space in my sidebar of my blog (reverse-mortgage-information.org) by moving the seach function to the far right of the header (hopefully on the same line as the header or tagline without increasing header width).
I've tried inserting '<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>' at various places in the code below and also through "admin/options" but without luck. (My PHP/CSS skills are well below novice level.) I also searched on the forum, but did not find anything.
'

/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>'
Can anyone help me with this? Or is it not doable for some reason?

Icon Brands Group Inc. filed a lawsuit against Iconix Brand Group Inc. in Los Angeles federal court on Aug. 2 over trademarks. Icon Brands Group's lawsuit includes allegations of false designation of origin, trademark infringement, unfair competition and misappropriation against Iconix. In court documents Icon Brands said it used the IIKONN (pronounced "icon") Brands Group trademark since July 2004. In 2006 the company changed its name to Icon Brands Group. Iconix sent the company a letter in April of this year asserting that it had held a trademark for "Iconix Brand Group" since July 2005 and that the Icon Brands Group name was too similar, according to the complaint. In its letter Iconix asked Icon Brands Group to stop using its name and find an alternative trademark and name. Icon Brands Group asked the court for an injunction and damages. Icon did not return calls for comment. "As far as we are concerned, Icon's claims have absolutely no merit. Icon changed its name from IIKONN to ICON more than a year after our company adopted the Iconix name and ICON ticker symbol," stated an Iconix spokesperson.
Nine West Development Corp. and Nine West Footwear Corp. filed a lawsuit against unnamed defendants for allegedly creating Facebook.com profiles that use the Nine West brand name without authorization. According to documents filed in Manhattan federal court on Aug. 24, the John Doe defendants created a profile on Facebook for Nine West shoes without permission. The owners of the profile then created a group named "Nine West-Model Auditions" which solicited pictures of applicants' faces, bodies and barefoot toes. The group page said winners would receive an all-expenses paid trip to New York. Approximately 400 Facebook members joined the group as of July. Following a request by Nine West, Facebook removed the group. Subsequently, Nine West said it discovered another group under a different alias with the same false audition listed, which had attracted 226 members. Nine West alleged trademark infringement, false description, false representation and other claims in its complaint. The company asked the court for an injunction, damages and to require the individuals behind the Facebook groups to hand over all documents, photos and other information they had received from anyone who responded to the postings.

Second, they DO NOT pick up after the dogs. They say be careful of the dogs because they eat each others poop. This dog took a massive dump, it smelled and the employees could care less. 4 dogs smelled and ate it all up, to where there was just remains and finally they picked it up. I am used to working with pets, but how ignorant they were with the dog poop was appalling. I saw this happened 3 times. When a dog is humping they put it in "timeout". They say it was just for a few minutes, and the dog was left there for 2 hours, in a small crate, not even the right size with all the dogs free reigned. [continued below]....

Hey guys, my name is Rachel, or as you guys know me, freehugproductions or smile.it.confuses.ppl. Judging by my two names, I guess you can sense I'm sort of a hippie/tree hugger type of girl. I love anything vintage, including my record player which I lug around with me everywhere, and obviously reading and writing. I wish I could say that writing was a passion, but that's certainly not the case. It's a disease that I fear I will never get over. I simply cannot stop!
Anyways, about my personality. Something you must know is my love for my family and close friends I consider family. I have five amazing sisters and zero annoying brothers. I'm caught somewhere in the middle in my family which means I'm almost always ignored and have to mediate random sister-on-sister parent-on-parent violence.
Other things you must know:
1. I'm one of those always happy/optimistic giggling girls. I'm often called SunRae, Giggles, or Smiley
2. I'm a bit of a Jesus freak. I go to a small Christian College and love every second of it. No worries! I won't stand at a corner yelling at you that you'll burn in Hell or what not, that's crazy! You're beautiful and perfect just the way you are and I love you for it.
3. Nerd alert! I'm about the biggest nerd you could ever meet. Sign me up for random nerf wars, larping, shopping cart racing, dancing in public places, singing through stores, fingerpainting people under the moon, free hug campaigns downtown. Oh yes, and anime. People never see that one coming, but it's there. Also, I can tell you anything about any superhero ever. [Especially Xmen!]
Peace, Love, Zombies

Skip to comments.Report: Bush surveillance program was massive
Posted on 07/10/2009 5:12:21 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
WASHINGTON The Bush administration built an unprecedented surveillance operation to pull in mountains of information far beyond the warrantless wiretapping previously acknowledged, a team of federal inspectors general reported Friday, questioning the legal basis for the effort but shielding almost all details on grounds they're still too secret to reveal.
The report, compiled by five inspectors general, refers to "unprecedented collection activities" by U.S. intelligence agencies under an executive order signed by President George W. Bush after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Just what those activities involved remains classified, but the IGs pointedly say that any continued use of the secret programs must be "carefully monitored."
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
It was just terrible I tell you, but we can still do it.
Kept us safe for years.
Bush's surveillance program may have been massive, but you ain't seen nothing yet. And, the motivation will be quite different.
2 Points.
#1 - No more attacks in the US.
#2 - How many US citizens have been prosecuted for crimes OTHER than terrorist related acivities due to these programs?
--Benjamin Franklin
Just sayn ;-)
This probably explains why we never had the promised 09-11-01 II while President Bush was in office.
So then are we to assume that Obama is not using the same techniques? or he is only because its Obama its OK?
This is being made public now for the following reason: Nobama's poll numbers have been tanking, so it's time to drag Big Bad Bush out of the closet so The Kenyan can demonize him - again. The political game that is being played with our national security is astounding. And, disgraceful as well.
This is nothing new. We already knew all about this. What we are seeing here is just the drive-by digging up a corpes and dragging it around the courthouse square to divert attention from zero's meltdown economy. It's all kabuki theater. Makes me want to puke.
Beat me by 22 seconds. You are spot on.
He kept us safe for nearly 8 long years, regardless of the democrats efforts to undermine the war and our own country.
This is being made public now for the following reason: Nobamas poll numbers have been tanking, so its time to drag Big Bad Bush out of the closet so The Kenyan can demonize him - again. The political game that is being played with our national security is astounding. And, disgraceful as well.
Indeed! And have you noticed the lazy Southern drawl is back at times?
Anyway, didn't Obama decide to continue this surveillance?
Thank God for President Bush....He did the job he was supposed to do....COMMANDER IN CHIEF means you do what you gotta do!!
Wrong context.
so you have been on freepr since Feb of this year...and have no qualms about Obama's destruction on a massive scale of our society...yet use this quote in relation to Bush?
TROLL lurking.
Boola boola boola Bush, the boogey man.
Now, not so much...
I guess they finally decided that Nixon was really dead, they kept dragging him out of his grave when convenient, now it's Bush.
"2 Points.
#1 - No more attacks in the US.
#2 - How many US citizens have been prosecuted for crimes OTHER than terrorist related acivities due to these programs?
Excellent points..
Gentlemen don't read other people's mail, but since you have already, what did they write?
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
—Benjamin Franklin
Do you suppose they had jihadists capable of delivering dirty nukes back then? Just askin'...
So then are we to assume that Obama is not using the same techniques? or he is only because its Obama its OK?
Another great question for the freakin' hypocrites...
They had to get Bush back in the headlines now that O's polls are slipping! The way the media is covering for the recent G8 ogling photo is disgusting.
I doubt Ben would apply that to our enemies. But a lefty would.
"#2 - How many US citizens have been prosecuted for crimes OTHER than terrorist related activities due to these programs?"
There you go - introducing logic. You might as well sprinkle holy water on a vampire as confront a liberal with logic...
Do two ravens make a right? Nah...didn't think so!
Ergo, BO is free to sniff teenage butt.
I agree with your assessment.
There were real dangers aplenty when Franklin made that quote, and he was certainly aware of them. Foundational principles don't change
That doesn't address my statement.
I posted the Franklin quote to apply founding conservative wisdom to the case of a modern liberal president (Bush). Your personal views concerning "lefties" are off topic and of no interest to me.
These apparently are not the IGs who have been fired for not playing along with the Democrats.
What liberty has anyone given up?
And you are dodging. I said, I doubt Ben would have applied that statement to our enemies. But a lefty would. You've danced but not addressed what I said.
No terrorist attacks after 911 in the United States.
Nuff said.
If it kept innocent American citizens from being murdered, I don't care if they found out every single thing about me.
Benjamin Franklin wsnt dealing with people flying airplanes into buildings and killing 3,000 people.
"Our enemies" existed when Franklin made his statement, and what he said applies now the same as when he spoke. It's not complicated.
You're either a nut or a troll.
That is precisely the sort of moral relativism that has lead to the trashing of our Constitutional principles in almost every regard.
God bless President Bush and our brave troops.
Franklin was referring to our own citizens and not enemies of our country. A fact that seems to have slipped by the noob.
God bless President Bush and our brave troops.
The quote from Franklin was referring to our own citizens and not terrorists.
Franklin would have never approved of eavesdropping on American citizens inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying.

Add some cayenne pepper to that beast and you will have to drink it extra slowly and will enjoy it even more!
YieldServes 2 (Or 1 Very Hungry Person)
2 frozen bananas (chopped)
1 cup nut milk
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1½ tablespoons raw carob powder
1 tablespoon cacao nibs
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 tablespoon flax or hemp oil
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 Medjool date
Recipe Directions
1. Blend frozen bananas with nut milk. If your blender objects, add more milk, which will thin the smoothie, or use a spatula to free up the blades.
2. Add the peanut butter, raw carob powder, and any other optional additions. Blend until smooth.
3. After blending, add the cacao nibs. Blend again but only once or twice to keep the cacao nibs crunchy.
Vegan_Vancouverite's ThoughtsBy Vegan_Vancouverite
This smoothie is an incredible taste explosion! It is very thick and filling–-definitely a treat worth getting up for.
I generally use a nut milk consisting of 1/4 cup dates and 1/4 cup soaked pumpkin seeds blended with 2 1/2 cups of water, keeping the remaining milk in the fridge for later.
Other nut butters can be substituted, but the peanut butter and chocolate combination is outstanding.

Wow, I've got to try this one! I think I'll use almonds w/maca to try to get some of that peanut butter-like flavor. Thanks!
I've never seen raw peanut butter? Can you get it in the US?
Making this for my breaky-fast. Looks good.
I used coconut w/ with the water. Peanut butter, raw cacao powder, 1 frozen nanner and 1 room temp nanner and a squirt of raw local organic honey. The only problem is drinking it too fast rofl. Man it really tastes like reeses cups in a glass. I might add cayenne next time to slow down the process. Now that's a HAWT chocolate.

Reese's peanut butter cup in a glass and raw. What a deal!
omigosh this looks good!!
Luna blu- I know the same one at sunfood nutrition. Yes, they are the only ones without the aflatoxins. I bought the jungle peanuts, but not the butter yet. They are really good, you should try them sometime. But yes, the almond butter is my fav too! I'm gonna make some today. :)
David Wolfes Sunfood Nutritian brand has raw jungle peanut peanut butter. You can get it on the Sunfood Nutrition site as well! It's new. Aparetnly these peanuts are the only ones without the aflotoxin (sp.?) mold so they are able to remain raw and un processed. I personally don't dig peanuts, almond butter is my fave!
Recipe sounds good tho! :)
debbietook - you can get raw wild jungle peanut butter at rawguru.com. :)
This sounds great. I use Raw Almond Butter. I have a Blendtec and my greensmoothie with chard is so ground up that its a nice creamy consistancy to pure liquid depending on how much water I put in. You can use the Blendtec to make your nut butters as well. Can't wait to taste this. Thanks for the recipe!
FuzzyWuzzy - I find that chewy smoothies can be fantastic, unless of course it's a green smoothie - chewy chard is nightmarish.
humanimal - I'm curious as to how much cayenne you would add - perhaps an 1/8 teaspoon or less?
debbietook - I confess that while my peanut butter is organic, it is probably not raw. Nevertheless, *Samara Anne*'s version sounds wonderful!
by *some almond butter I meant 1 c. haha sorry
I don't know how most people make their peanut butter but to yield 2 c peanut butter I'll process 1 c of soaked then dehydrated raw peanuts until smooth but a little chunky and then mix it with some raw almond butter and a little almond oil, avocado oil, macadamia nut oil or other moderately light-flavored oil. Enjoy (add salt to taste if desired)

This may be just the solution I'm looking for. I always drink my smoothies too fast. But with some nibs blended in, I'll be forced to 'chew' my smoothie! Thanks!
