Do you use just your right foot to work the gas and brake, or do you use both feet?
This recently came up during a carpool to lunch. I was surprised and thought it a good pre July 4th topic!

Like Fred Flintstone, driving around with bald feet.

When I was very yong and read a lot of "Car and Driver" I thought the both feet scenario was good.
After I drove a few more miles I switched to the conventional right foot accelerator/brake - left foot clutch method.
Seems to work fine for me.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:01 UTC
Right foot only (left for the clutch), I heard people that use both feet have a tendancy to wear the brakes down much faster since they have weight on the brakes at all times.

Depends what vehicle I'm driving. Most of the cars I have access to have three pedals, so my right foot operates throttle/brake my left foot operates the clutch. When on the race track both feel will use the brake pedal, say a high speed bend where I only need a light dab of the brakes, that way I can stay WoT take off the speed and exit at full chat, this is very important with a turbo engine.
In my truck it only has two pedals and for the most part I use only my right foot, my left food braced against the dead pedal to keep me in a comfortable driving position. When offroading I'll use both feet as it makes it a lot easier in some situations. But again, most of the time right foot doing both jobs is easier. That stems from driving a manual more than an automatic though.

Right foot works the gas and brake. Cannot stand when people use 2 feet unless they are working a clutch
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:02 UTC
I just use my right foot.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:02 UTC
left foot for the clutch, right for the brake and gas.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:03 UTC
I only have 1 foot, so I use it. It's heavy.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:03 UTC
For my manual transmission it's right foot gas/brake left foot clutch. In an auto transmission I use right foot for gas/brake and mister left foot gets a break.
One reason why the both feet scenario in an auto is discouraged is by using the same foot for both gas and brake you never press both at the same time! That is a bad idea for many reasons.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:03 UTC
Right foot only (left for the clutch), I heard people that use both feet have a tendancy to wear the brakes down much faster since they have weight on the brakes at all times.
You don't keep your foot planted on the brake pedal. If you're wearing down the brakes you're driving around with the brake lights on too. That is bad driving.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:03 UTC
Both even though it's an automatic. Oh and I'm that slow B@&%*D that happends to be in front of you.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:05 UTC
I was always taught that a two foot/two peddle method was bad. they do tend to wear on breaks and necks, stopping short, not letting off the gas first. this method should only be used in the case of the need for an emergency power stand.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:06 UTC
Who uses feet? I'm strictly cruise control and up and downshifting.
Seriously though, even if I had 2 feet I'd only use one...
Seriously though, I've got 2 feet and just use one... When I get my AARP membership I'll be officially licensed to drive around the world with my left turn signal on and brake lights on at 10 miles an hour under the posted speed limit...
In the left lane.
I can tell tomorrow's a holiday.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:06 UTC

kill it with fire
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:09 UTC
Single foot method, unless the vehicle has a clutch. Haven't driven one of those in a while.
Lately it's been the two foot pedal method as I have been riding my bike to work nearly every day.

No feet, I moved into the same building I work in. So I just have to go down 1 flight. 86 steps between home and office. I'm literally the little old lady who only drives her car to church. When I do, its the one foot method for gas and brake. When I ride with someone, it's the two foot method, trying to stomp on the brakes on my side of the car when they seem to have forgotten there is a car in front of us that is stopping short. For some reason, it doesn't seem to help.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:16 UTC
If the car is an automatic and fast and takes corners well, I use both feet. Cant ghost them corners and power brake with one foot.
That was the old days, about 20 years ago. Now I drive a standard little four banger and use both feet cause it's a standard and you got to shift it manually.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:28 UTC
How odd, I must confess I've neither heard of nor seen anyone using both feet for the gas and brake. Well, except for the time I forgot I was driving an automatic and about threw everyone through the front windshield when we came to a stoplight.
Jul 3, 2012 at 1:33 UTC
I'm strictly a right foot for both brake & gas kinda guy. My ex would use one for each - drove me crazy. Maybe it's because I know how (and like) to drive a car with a clutch. Even when I drive my great white whale (extended cargo panel van) I use the one foot. That's why they put that dead-pedal thingy down there - to rest your left foot on.
Jul 3, 2012 at 2:13 UTC
It had been forever since i'd driven an automatic and then i got into my wife's car last week and went to clutch and hit her brake. Yeah, I was that idiot in the parking lot people were wondering what the heck i was doing.
Jul 3, 2012 at 2:15 UTC
I asked because i rode to lunch with friends and we were talking about the daughter of one of them getting her permit. Not using both feet to drive came up and our friend who was driving us to lunch revealed he drove with both feet and always had.
I was shocked. I was told never to do it and just sorta took it for granted!
Awesome responses guys. Making the afternoon cruise by :)
Jul 3, 2012 at 10:10 UTC
For me... this is a stupid question because you fail in life if you don't know how to drive a manual.
...and if you know how to drive a manual, you'll know that for 99.9% of people the left foot is always the clutch foot... or doing nothing in an automatic.
That other 0.01% of the time when left foot braking is acceptable is if you're a competitive racing driver in a corner where you need it for the car you're in... and I don't imagine many (if any) here are racing drivers.
Actually, I'd go so far as to say that you'd likely only need left foot braking in competitive kart racing, or maybe even rally racing... where as in circuit racing there are few cars/circuits that would benefit from it.
Jul 4, 2012 at 1:42 UTC
I drive like Ricky Bobby - If you ain't first, you're last
Jul 4, 2012 at 5:11 UTC
I was taught to drive a manual, and therefore use the left foot for the clutch and the right for the brake and accelerator. When I drive an auto, I just use the right foot to operate both pedals. I own and drive both types of gearboxes.
If you only drive an auto, it is faster to use brake with your left foot rather than to switch from accelerator to brake.

Thiruvananthapuram, April 15: A day after the Rajya Sabha election that exposed the deep divisions within the ruling Congress in Kerala, the debate within the party has started acquiring a distinct caste and communal undertone.
The proponents of the debate seek to paint the poll-related developments in the party as a clear manifestation of the ejection of a Hindu, particularly upper-caste Nair, leadership in the state Congress.
This debate has menacing portents for the party high command and the state government, particularly because they are led by two Christians Sonia Gandhi and A.K. Antony, respectively.
This caste-communal line of reasoning is being put forward essentially by a clutch of MLAs in the rebel group led by veteran leader K. Karunakaran, whose candidate Kodoth Govindan Nair was defeated in the poll on Monday. The Karunakaran camp has been for long viewed as the Nair lobby within the Congress in Kerala.
The message given by the manner in which Leader (that is how Karunakarans supporters refer to him) was treated during the candidate-selection process and the vile strategy that was employed to defeat his nominee is that the high command sees no use in him or the community. This cannot be seen merely as an individual insult, it is the humiliation of the entire community, said a legislator belonging to his group.
Throughout Tuesday, journalists and political observers in the state capital became witness to the advancement of similar theories by several others in the group, including several MLAs.
The suggestion that one of the victorious official candidates former state unit president Thennala Balakrishna Pillai also belongs to the Nair community was treated with derision by the advocates of this theory.
Karunakaran represented the true strength of the Nair community in the states social and political spheres. A political has-been like Pillai cannot claim to represent the community, said another MLA, who is also a leader of the Nair Service Society, a social organisation of the Nairs.
Though the debate has caught on in the internal circles of the Congress, the overt political climate in Kerala on Tuesday was one of relative calm.
There was no concrete move from the warring Congress factions or from the Opposition CPM, barring a statement from Karunakaran alleging the involvement of a particular liquor lobby in threatening and buying over several MLAs who would have otherwise voted for his nominee.
Karunakaran did not name the liquor lobby but the general impression is that his comment was aimed at relatives of AICC general secretary Vayalar Ravi, who was one of the official candidates who emerged victorious in the Rajya Sabha election.
This comment also had a caste angle, because Ravi belongs to backward class Ezhava community, which has traditionally locked horns with the Nairs in societal interaction.
The voting pattern in Mondays polls also came in for some speculation.
One theory that did the rounds was that five MLAs of the Karunakaran group had crossed over to the official side while two partners in the United Democratic Front (UDF) the Kerala Congress factions led by K. Balakrishna Pillai and T.M. Jacob had voted for Karunakarans nominee.
Karunakarans demand that the MLAs of his group be treated as a separate Opposition block would take some time to acquire concrete political dimensions because the next session of the Assembly would be convened only in June-July.
However, indications are that the Karunakaran group would ultimately end up with 18 to 20 MLAs in its fold. The official Congress leadership is apparently working on five to seven MLAs of the group and has reportedly succeeded in turning them around.
But even the departure of 18 MLAs from the Congress to the Opposition ranks will make life difficult for the UDF and particularly for chief minister Antony. For, the reduced majority in the Assembly would make Antony more dependant on the Indian Union Muslim League and the Kerala Congress (Mani), two parties with a strong minority base.

I use it and have for over a decade. My favorite part of it is the ability to scan the network in seconds and find the computer I'm looking for. If it's the local lan then it takes a couple of seconds. This feature alone is why I use it.
The have another product that they sale with Proxy Pro that allows you to setup a server that users machine check in and out of. I'm looking into this to allow me to see those users not connected to our VPN.
I'd like Proxy to add a Bomgar type device so that the check in/out server would also allow screen captures of the session.
If some or all the above info would feed into spiceworks then even better. A plug-in would be nice for spiceworks.

From: firstname.lastname@example.com ("T.McCormick")
Hi there, Well here's my story, back in November I sent an email to the SF-Lovers asking if anybody had any questions they wanted Robert Jordan author of the Wheel of Time asked as I was going to a book signing of his, here in Glasgow.
However to my dismay, I discovered I couldn't make it to the book signing in the afternoon, so I typed a small letter to Robert Jordan explaining my situation and including a list of the questions which I had received via the internet, asking if he could possibly answer the questions at his leisure. I also give him a copy of the Wheel of Time FAQ which I had received via email and which I had printed and bound.
A couple of weeks later I received a reply.
I would have emailed this response to Sf-lovers sooner however my rights to the network had been restricted, however my position has now changed and what follows is the questions I posed then the letter he sent me.
Question 1
When will the next book be released (UK & USA) and what will it be titled?
Question 2
Do you currently think it will be 7 or 8 books total, also will the books continue to remain as 'chunky' as tFoH &tSR?
Question 3
In tFoH, in the chapters "The Far Snows" and "A Short Spear," was the timing of events deliberately precalculated by him, or not? If the first is true, I'm not asking for an explanation --presumably we'll get that in a later book. I'm just asking for a yes or a no. (If he wants to know why the question was put, please just say the two words "time zones.")
Question 4
Ask him if he knows about all the Jordan junkies on the network. Tell him we love his books and are frenzied to know when the next one is coming out. Get him to confirm that Verin is not Black. (not that he will of course; then again, those of us who know, know that she isn't) Please find out if Lews Therin balefired himself in the prologue in EotW, or if he just drew too much of the OP. If it isn't critical to the continuing plot, I'm sure he'll say.
Question 5
We don't want to pry; however it was rumoured that you had suffered a heart attack recently and your devoted readers are concerned for your welfare;
Question 6
What is the name of the next book and will Perrin be in it a bit more than tFoH.
Question 7
I have found and read your Conan books, however are there any other books that you have had published and are there any other books unrelated to the Wheel of Time that you are working on?
Robert Jordan's ReplyEdit
I found the compendium fascinating. It is startling how much your group has puzzled out correctly, but I have to tell you that some of what you worked out is wrong, concerning both me and the books, but I have it in mind not to tell you which parts. That way you can have the pleasure of figuring out for yourselves where you went astray. (Easy to say that when I'm four or five thousand miles away.)
With regard to the covers, both my editor and I have fought long and hard to get them to be the way they should be. And obviously with a high futility quotient. Countless descriptions of Trollocs, pointing out that Rand is approximately 6'5"--'6" tall, descriptions of the swords, of Perrin's axe, etc.
The "dwarf Moiraine on a pony" problem was only the first, along with Lan being in armour and the Robin Hood clothes. I do not assign blame. On those occasions when either my editor or I have been able to speak directly to Darryl Sweet, the problems in sketches have been solved handily for the most part. (You did not realise that there were discrepancies in the sketches which never made it onto the covers, did you?) Sometimes you just give up after awhile; with Rand's height, for instance. After five books showing him as maybe 6' tall, I've simply bagged trying for the extra 6". As for the changing hair colours, I fear you must look to the printing process for that blame. When we see the cover painting, all colours are as we wish them to be, but then we must hope that the colours are reproduced with some degree of faithfulness on the actual covers. The expense of printing covers and/or dust jackets is such that no publisher is going to throw away a set and reprint simply because the characters' hair has changed colour.
Now for your questions.
l) The next book (#6; Lord OF CHAOS) should be released in the UK in November 1994. I'd have it out quicker if I could, but it does take a little time to write these books.
2) At present I am indeed hoping to complete the cycle in either seven or eight books. I am 90% confident that I can do it in seven, 95% confident that I can by eight. The thing is, as a famous manager of an American baseball team once said: "It ain't over till it's over." I know the last scene of the last book and the resolutions of all the major story lines. I have known these things since the very beginning. It is just a matter of getting there. And I am afraid the rest of the books very likely will be as large as SHADOW and FIRES. Sorry. I've been thinking about asking the publisher to include a shoulder strap. At least I haven't topped a thousand pages in Hardcover yet.
3) Yes, the timing was calculated. I know how far to the west Seanchan lies.
4) I know about the "Jordan junkies" (ahem! Blush!), now. Lews Therin did not use balefire on himself; he simply drew as much of the One Power as he could, then kept on pulling it in. As for Verin: read and find out. Surely you agree with Oscar Wilde about the suspense? I will try to keep you right a tiptoe as long as I can.
5) No, I did not have a heart attack, nor any sort of medical problem whatsoever. My wife did have heart surgery, she has made a full recovery); this may be the source of the rumours. Many thanks for your concern.
6) LORD OF CHAOS is the title of number six at present. (See #1.) A working title, but I like it. As for Perrin, he will definitely be back sooner or later.
7) I have been a writer for seventeen years now, and have had a number of other books published (Westerns, international intrigue, historical fiction), as well as essays, dance review and theatre criticism, but no other fantasy save the Conan novels. I've written only one piece of short fiction in my life, aside from school assignments, and it was never published. I will probably write in those other genres again from time to time; I enjoy them. I am working on something unconnected with THE WHEEL OF TIME, though I have not yet begun writing it. (Books percolate about in my head for a long time before anything goes onto paper.) It will be the next thing after THE WHEEL is complete. It will be fantasy, in a different universe than THE WHEEL.
My editor says it will be people's chance to see a society like the Seanchan Empire, but that is simply because most of the action will take place in a culture much like Seanchan. The main male character, who is shipwrecked there, comes from a place that might he considered a cross between Elizabethan England and the Italian city-states of the Renaissance with touches of the seventeenth century. I intend him to be a man in his thirties, a man of some experience and worldliness in his own culture (though this does him only occasional good where he finds himself), in contrast to Rand's innocence and naiveti. The major female character is a noblewoman of the land where he is shipwrecked; by the law, whatever is cast up on the shores of her estates belongs to her: the ship, its cargo -- its crew. Of course, a good many details will surely change between now and the commencement of writing (they always do), but that is the general form. No working title yet beyond SHIPWRECK. I expect to do the story in two or possibly three books. As far as any message to the folks on the net.... It is really quite an honour to find out that so many of you want to discuss my books in such detail. Frankly, I'm both pleased and amazed that you have put so much time and effort into it. Well, I hoped Iwas writing something that would hold people's interest; it seems maybe I have.
One thing -- don't think you've reached bottom in your digging. I tried to make the books fairly simple on the surface, and quite complex underneath. You've dug up a number of points that I thought I had buried well enough that they wouldn't come to light for some time yet (don't expect me to say which ones), and you've also dug up one or two that I never buried in the first place (no hints there, either). Jordan's Law, I think, can better be stated along these ~lines: "Ah, you think you know how the game goes now? Very good, gentlemen. what say we increase the bets just to make it interesting?".
End of letter.

Pokemon Battle Revolution
Review by gohangeorge
"Flashy... that's about it."
Pokemon Battle Revolution is the first game in North America for the Wii that has online capabilities. It's also got flashy graphics... that's about it, though.
The graphics, as one would expect, are superb. The move animations have been completely redone, making them very flashy. However, some of the more rudimentary techniques look mundane, and though this is to be expected, they could be glammed up a bit to just a little less flashy than uber moves like Roar of Time and Spatial Rend. However, I have two complaints with the graphics; physical moves often don't look like they're physically hitting the foe, and all pre-DP Pokemon models are reused from older games (i.e. I immediately noticed how my Groudon looked the same as he did way back in Pokemon Colosseum, with the same animations and everything!).
The sound is about at the same level as DP. Moves make noise when you hit the other guy, but the BGM seems to be a bit mute at times. It also seems underpowered when squaring off against Colosseum Leaders (IMO it should be a bit more upbeat when facing them). There's also this ridiculously annoying announcer (with the SAME VOICE FROM THE POKEMON ANIME) who comments on every little thing. His comments quickly become tired, but he can be turned off.
There is also a lack of just about anything beyond battle. Unlike in the Stadium games, there are no minigames (which, I might add, are the Wii's speciality at the moment). Unlike in the Colosseum games, there is no Story mode. There is just you, a set of Pokemon, and battling. True, it's nice to be able to create your own look for your trainer and choose their statements during battle, but it doesn't quite make up for the lack of variety in the game.
The ability to import your DP Pokemon was very nice. It made me feel like my hours and hours spent raising my Lv100 Gallade seem worth it as I watch him kick serious butt, but the fact that I can't train my other Pokemon to match his awesome strength sucks. Essentially, Pokemon on Battle Revolution are static; they don't gain EXP, thus cannot evolve or learn new attacks. The ability to become stronger is the reason for battling, which is taken out of Battle Revolution.
It's not a bad game... it just gets boring fast due to its lack of variety. Rent it, if you will, but 'tis not worth the $50 price tag.
Graphics: 8/10
Sound: 6/10
Gameplay: 4/10
Overall: 5/10
P.S. 3-D Lucario still rocks!

I am currently studying for a Bsc in Wildlife & Practical conservation. Whilst at university I joined the dive club. I have always been fascinated by marine life since watching underwater documentaries as a child, but never thought I would be lucky enough to have the opportunity to dive there myself. It has been a wonderful, exciting revelation to be able to dive beneath the waves all around the UK to see the wonderful precious and diverse marine habitats and wildlife that thrives in our temperate waters!! I have definitely got the bug! and I hope to be able to dive as often as possible into the future. So far I have only dived around the UK waters and I am excited about one day diving in other countries, but for now I am passionate about what our UK seas & shores have to offer and would love to become more involved in protecting them.
I Hope I can find more like minded people around the North West of England to team up with and go for a dive in our local waters.

Well actually, when people observe another side of History being that the Tea Party participants who dressed up as Indians were actually Masons and the place where they met and organized the rebellious act against Britian by dumping Tea was actually the first Masonic lodge in America.
GOP symbolizes in the minds of Republicans as them being the original Americans of the U.S. and Tea Party symbolizes those who rebel against the original system. Since these Caucasians came to America and took over, they came with an original system of Britain.

Can't edit the submissionAsked by sercanselvi on April 29, 2016 at 10:26 AM
I embedded my form (FormID: 61126355480149) in to a secure page and wanted to test it one last time before launching it. When I click to the edit link in the notification email I can't see my submission, I get an empty form and need to start filling out from the beginning.
When I tested the same form before (with the same email text) I did not have any problems with editing the submission. How can I solve this problem?
I think I solved the problem!

It's Saturday and I have been snuggled up on the couch for approximately 5 hours now. Well, I did get up for a couple of meals, but planted myself right back where I started after the food was consumed. Eventually I will have to shower and actually get dressed, but for now... lazy I will be!
I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs for a little 5 for Friday!
1. I'm still loving every single thing about having Joelle at my school each day. This week we had a little extra time together since I had the short after-school duty. We had several little girl talks and were able to catch up before hurrying out the door. I am cherishing these moments!!! On a sidenote- I only fixed my hair once last week. I wore far too many ponytails with a bang bump. It's time to wake up a little earlier!
2. Speaking of Joelle... this happened. "If I were a teacher for the day I would shake my booty in (front of) the whole class."
and she would... she really would!
3. AND, Joelle and I have become obsessed with this cute cockapoo on Instagram. I'm fairly certain I need Charley to come live with me ASAP. I even have matching green sunglasses. #meanttobe
4. Now let's talk about actual classroom happenings. We are regrouping like crazy. I used some of my new dice from Amazon with my kiddos this week. They loved rolling numbers before adding!
I also used THIS freebie as a Regrouping challenge on Friday. There are 30 problems that I posted around the room. I gave my kiddos about 30 minutes to complete the problems. Anyone who completed them ON TIME and CORRECTLY received a small prize from me. I had so many students who were thisclose but only 4 out of 41 that were victorious! They were so excited to take on a challenge and worked like little busy bees! They asked if we could do something similar every Friday... sure thing, kiddos!
And, I know that I said I WOULD NOT be videoing this regrouping chant, but apparently I lied...
(right-click on the picture to save)
because this happened...
5. This week we finished up our Penguin Math Stations. This little friend's partner moved to a different homeroom, so he got to work with me. He soon found out that having me as a partner would help him get his work finished speedy quick! Turns out I'm not as much of a distraction as a 7/8 year old ;)
Okay, now I must shower. Y'all have a great weekend!

text: Well I decided to make a few calculations as to when we should see the Verizon Nexus One. It took 22 days after the FCC filing for the T-mo N1 to hit the shelves. It took 46 days after the FCC filing for the AT&T/Rogers N1 to hit shelves. We've already passed the 22 days so I'm just leaving that out, however... If it takes 46 days like the AT&T version, we should see it out on April 13th. However, if we average the days, that gives us 34 days which puts us at April 1st. Purely speculation, however, may give some insight as to when we'll see this hit shelves!

|Saint Madeline Sophie Barat
|12 December 1779Joigny, France,
|25 May 1865 (aged 85), Paris, France
|Venerated in
|Roman Catholicism
|May, 1908 by Pope Pius X
|24 May 1925 by Pope Pius XI
|May 25
Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat (December 12, 1779 – May 25, 1865) is a French saint of the Catholic church.
She was the daughter of Jacques Barat, a cooper who worked with the vineyards. Naturally bright, she was educated by her older brother Louis, a monk. When she was ten years old, France underwent the French Revolution with its suppression of Christian schools. The education of the young, particularly young girls, was in a troubled state.
As Madeline grew older, her brother feared she would be exposed to too much of the world, and so brought her to Paris with him. She wanted to be a Carmelite lay sister, but with Father Joseph Varin and three other postulants, she founded the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1801, devoted to the Sacred Heart and dedicated to teaching girls.
She was in contact with other Catholic figures of the time, such as Venerable Leo Dupont, the Apostle of the Holy Face.[1] She became Superior General of the Society at age 23 and held the position for 63 years. Receiving papal approval of the Society in 1826, she founded 105 houses in many countries; Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne and four companions brought the Society to the United States.
Mother Barat died in Paris. She was canonized on May 24, 1925 by Pope Pius XI.
Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois, was named after Mother Barat and it merged with DePaul University from 2001 until 2005. In 2005, however, DePaul decided to close the school and focus its financial resources towards their other campuses in Chicago and surrounding suburbs where they had a satellite campus. The final class at Barat College finished June 11, 2005, exactly 100 years to the day the first class graduated.
'Barat' is the name of a house at Woldingham School, a Sacred Heart institution in Surrey, England.
Baradene College of the Sacred Heart is a girl's high school in Auckland, New Zealand; one of their six houses is called 'Barat'.
Sophie-Barat-School Hamburg (Germany),an elite school, was founded and named after her. It is led by the Sacré Coer.

In Greek mythology, Nycteus (pronounced: /ˈnɪkˌtuːs/ or /ˈnɪkˌtjuːs/; Greek: Νυκτεύς) was a king of Thebes. His rule began after the death of Polydorus, and ended when he was succeeded by his brother Lycus.
Nycteus and his brother Lycus were the sons of either Chthonius, one of the Spartoi,[1] or of the nymph Clonia and Hyrieus, the son of Poseidon and the Atlantid Alkyone,[2] or of Poseidon and the Pleiade Celaeno. The two brothers fled from Euboea after they murdered King Phlegyas, settling in Hyria and then moving to Thebes, because they were friends with Pentheus, its king.[3]
Regency of Thebes
Nycteus had two daughters by Polyxo, Nycteis and Antiope. Nycteis married Polydorus, who was the successor of Pentheus, and their son was Labdacus. However, Pentheus and Polydorus both died soon after, and Nycteus became regent for Labdacus.[1] After Antiope was impregnated by Zeus and fled to marry king Epopeus in Sicyon, the Bibliotheca reports that Nycteus killed himself in shame, after asking Lycus to punish her.[4] Pausanias, however, states that Nycteus led the Thebans against Epopeus, but was wounded and carried back to Thebes, where he died after asking Lycus to continue the battle.[5] Lycus succeeded him as regent of Thebes.

Role of iodine in the human body
Iodine's main role in the human body is to help with thyroid function and the production of thyroid hormones. A role in immune response is played by iodine too. Thyroid hormones, which are produced with the help of iodine, play a role in the metabolism of cells, causing iodine to play a role in them as well.
Consequences of insufficient levels of iodine
Not having a sufficient level of iodine intake could lead to an enlargement of the thyroid gland, also known as goiter. With that, the production of thyroid hormones are affected. Along the way, metabolism can be affected as well, which leads the health and well being of the body to decrease.
Major source of iodine in a human's diet
Iodine is mostly found in salt, milk, and yogurt.

So I got behind on blogging due to laziness, the holidays, fighting kids or some other random excuse. I figure with me starting back to work next week I may not be back here for a while.
Christmas was great celebrating with 3 kiddos and me and Tom both being off. The kids got far far too many gifts but they loved them nonetheless. Dane's favorite gift was the wrapping paper his gifts came in. He basically played with it much of the day. Oh well maybe next year he will actually enjoy the gift:)
Dane went to his occupational therapy appointment and saw the international adoption doctor and they stuck my boy many times that day. He was NOT a happy camper. So far most of his lab work has been negative or normal and we will be repeating a few of them in a few months to see if they are back to normal. We are now going to be seeing an eye doctor, a hearing doctor, and a feeding evaluation will be done as well. We start physical therapy this week to see if we can get my little man walking someday soon. We got some positive feedback from his doctor and we are left with a few wait and sees. She would like to see if all the therapies help him before we go into anything invasive right now. I have complete faith that we will not have to go that far. My little Dane just needs to be put to work to get them legs up and moving.
Anyway I have enjoyed being off with my babies and am going to miss them when I go back to work. They all fight like cats and dogs but they still love each other. Sometimes I see Dane and Gabe play together and I know one day they are going to be best buds. Lindze chooses the day as to who she wants to deal with between her two brothers. Oh the life of an almost 9 year old girl. I love my hubby and my kids and life is pretty great right now:)
A New Door Opens
This is our continuing journey to bring home our third child. We are following our hearts and God's will and starting a waiting child adoption from China. Wish us luck!!!

One Month
It is amazing how much a child can change. One month ago today we received this little boy that would be our son. I guess I should say we were blessed by God himself to be chosen to be his parents. What an amazing experience to adopt a child. We've done it 3 times and each time it was a little different.
With Lindze we were inexperienced in adopting much less international adopting and in parenting so it had all kinds of firsts. We were brought to a building with 8 other families and we saw these nannies carrying these little girls around and we waited for our names to be called so we could be "presented" with our new daughters. Our name was called and we were holding this rather shocked one year old. It was absolutely surreal because in those few minutes we became a family of three just like that. Lindze was and is a complete joy to parent. I could not have asked for a better child as my "first".
With Gabriel 4 years later it is a totally different story but the main gist of it is that we brought home this very tiny 6 week old and can I tell you how different it is to receive a 6 week old versus a one year old. All I can say is many sleepless nights but what a Godsend to be given the opportunity to actually parent a little baby. This is something I never thought I would experience in our pursuit of a family through adoption. Out of nowhere we became a family of four. Gabe is growing so fast and even though some days he really really tries my patience, I love everything about him. You never know what he is going to say or do. He is another one of my true blessings.
Now with Dane 12 families were loaded on a bus and taken to a building where we all waited for different vehicles to arrive from different cities with all of our kids. Most all of the kids arrived before Dane got there. You see they had to drive 4 hours from Nanyang in order to bring him and one other little girl. We were standing around watching and all of a sudden they brought in this tiny little boy bundled in 5 layers of clothing and then we heard Dang Jin Wei and they just put him in our arms. His shock was written all over his face but he was so bundled he couldn't fight us. We had to sign guardianship papers and then we were taken back to the hotel. Boom family of five just like that.
So in one month Dane calls me "ma ma" and Tom "da da". He says "bye", "bah bah". He sign languages "more" when he is eating. He has rolled over twice and has learned to finger feed himself. He actually took a few sips from a bottle the other day without me squeezing it in. All in all he is making strides everyday. I cannot wait to see where he is a year from now because I know he is going to keep amazing us everyday. So anyway Happy One Month Anniversary to our peanut Dane. We love you!!!!!!!!!

A little update
Anyway Dane is doing well. He is finally sleeping through the night after a few nights of screaming starting on Saturday night when we got home. We have come to the conclusion that he is at a 6 month developmental level due to his inability to roll over, crawl, feed himself, or walk. We feel that no one ever worked with him when it came to sucking a bottle or sippy cup so he never learned. So our biggest issue right now is lots of problems going to the bathroom. He just doesn't get enough liquid so he is constantly constipated. We have been doing everything humanly possible to help him but he just lays on the floor and cries with sweat beading on his little face in order to go potty. Heartbreaking to say the least. We are going to his doctor on Tuesday to see what he suggests and then we will see an international adoption specialist plus occupational therapy in January. I am praying they can come up with some suggestions on how to get him to drink.
So I keep wondering is part of his delays due to no one working with him in his foster home or are his delays due to an underlying issue or because he was a premie? We contemplate this all the time. Is he going to grow up to be a normal developing little boy or is he always going to be "delayed"? We will love him no matter how things go.
We have run into lots and lots of jealousy issues with our 3 year old and his behavior has taken a drastic turn for the worse. He is constantly in trouble and in time out. If I hold Dane or play with Dane, Gabe gets right in the middle or he will take Dane's toy away. If I hold Gabe, Dane starts to cry. Really driving me nuts!! Also as Dane gets use to his (and Gabe's) room, Gabe has been sleeping with me and now he refuses to go back to his room. My sleep which was already completely messed up is now even further messed up by my 3 year old rugrat.
Now my Lindze has become such a helper since Dane came along. She is always quick to jump in if he starts crying or if I need someone to feed him for a moment while I deal with Gabe who has decided he cannot feed himself anymore:/ She loves both her brothers but I think she is sort of smitten with her Asian brother. I wonder why;)
So that is my life right now. Our first post placement home visit is this Friday so time is moving right along. I actually worked on my next schedule for work last night so in a little over one month I will be going back to the Vandy night shift thing again. I am interested to see how I handle 3 nights a week with 3 kids. I do have a sense of peace now with adopting. I know we have a mountain to face with Dane and his delays but it is so refreshing to know that after so many years of adopting and trying to adopt.... We are done. I know there will always be that little voice in my head that asks... What about Alek Manas? I have dealt with and accepted what happened to our attempted adoption in Kyrgyzstan and know I never had any control over that situation. What I do know is in January of 2005 Tom and I one day after receiving our one year old daughter Lindze were at her orphanage in Nanchang, China looking into a nursery full of babies and we both said that we had to bring one more home because it broke our heart to see so many babies laying there without families. We have fulfilled that promise we made so many years ago and our little family is complete and I am so at peace now.

15 More Hours
Well the time has come. We leave at 6:30 tomorrow morning for our long awaited journey to bring home our little Dane. It seems like this has taken forever but we actually started this China adoption in February of this year. We are going to be staying in Beijing a few days in order to see several of the sites and then on Sunday we fly down to Zhengzhou where our little peanut has been living for the last 20 months. On Monday the 19th, orphanage personnel will bring us our sweet boy. I cannot wait to wrap my arms around that sweet boy and tell him how much I love him. We will spend several days in the Henan province doing various paperwork and of course celebrating Thanksgiving with many other adoptive families that we will have the pleasure of meeting and spending many days with. On November 24th we fly down to Guangzhou which is where the US consulate is. This is where we get Dane's final paperwork in order so he can come home with us. We go to the consulate on November 29th and take the oath. On December 1st we fly home and thanks to a 14 hour time difference we actually arrive in Nashville at 10:00 PM December 1st. We welcome anyone who wants to meet Dane to the airport that night because we may not be leaving our house for a while once we are home.
I have a few prayer requests... One is that we have a safe flight. We are flying on 8 different flights while we are gone and as we have done this before, I still worry about our safety with that much flying. I ask that you will keep Lindze in your prayers as this is a long journey and a lot to take in. She gets to see firsthand how we went about bringing her home and I don't know how this is going to affect her. I also ask that you pray for sweet Dane who is getting ripped out of the only home he has only known and getting thrown into strangers arms. I cannot imagine how this is going to upset him. I know eventually he will be okay but please pray for the initial few days and that God will heal his poor little broken heart. My last prayer request is for my little Gabriel. We are leaving him for almost 18 days. We plan on Skyping with him as much as humanly possible but leaving him is tearing me up and I haven't even left yet. I love that kid and I have given him a kiss and a hug every day since the day God blessed us with him at 6 weeks old. My brother Brandon and sister in law Catherine are going to be caring for him while we are gone and I know he is in great hands. At this point it is all in God's hands and I know he will take care of us.
I will be trying to update everyone via Facebook or through my blog as we go along on our trip. Thank you for all the support and many prayers that have been sent up as we have journeyed toward getting Dane home.

Monday, October 29, 2012
Can it be true? We are actually going to China in 16 days and we will be getting our sweet peanut on November 19th. By God's grace and love we are almost at the end of our adoption journey. As of right now we fly out on November 14th and then fly home December 1st. We are flying Korean airlines which is great because when we went to Kyrgyzstan we were in pure misery so everyone is excited about our "good" flights. We are excited about everything!! So now begins the panicked packing and making tons of arrangements for leaving Gabe with my brother and sis in law. I have decided the worse part that I am facing now is leaving Gabe. I have seen that little squirt every day since we brought him home at 6 weeks old. I would gladly give up much sleep to see my babies everyday and get that kiss, hug and "I love you momma". Hopefully between Skype and Facetime I can talk and see him face to face much!!
So keep the prayers coming that everything is smooth sailing and we get our boy with no issues. Also please pray for Dane as we are about to take him away from the only family he has only known since he was one month old.

Please Help - Uh...how Do I Respond To This?
Decorating By yellobutterfly Updated 27 Mar 2009 , 1:56pm by online_annie
I did a cake for a lady this past weekend. Originally her referral came from a friend of hers who had ordered the dumptruck cake in my photos - that cake was done in May. She contacted me immediately after and gave me her date then for her March party - yeah 10 months in advance, and I'm not even that busy, usually people just tell me a week or so ahead of time, lol.
I talked to her thru e-mail a few times, and told her I'd do the cake, but to contact me closer to the deadline with the details. She had cupcakes and cookies from me in September (which are the polka dot cupcakes and coordinating cookies) at the same friend's house for a mom's group party, and since then e-mailed me pretty often to talk about what she wanted, etc. I did her cake Saturday, it's the space cake in my photos. Today I got this e-mail from her:
"Hi, Julie. Thank you for bringing the cake. I'm sad to say that I thought it did not taste like the cupcakes I devoured at _____'s house. The buttercream just didn't taste like buttercream to me. How were ___'s cupcakes made? Was it different frosting? What type are you planning for Friday? Thanks! L"
Uh...I use doctored cake mixes, this was white cake and so were the previous cupcakes...I still used buttercream frosting with the same flavors I always use - almond and vanilla...but I did recently switch to SugarShack's icing recipe...which really tastes the same as my old recipe - the Brite white recipe on here (altered without the salt, icing base, vinegar and creme bouquet and subbing in almond and vanilla)...and very good, I like sugarshack's better because it smoothes better and handles easier...I am so at a loss, I've never had a complaint, and this lady had ordered ahead 5 dozen cupcakes and 2 dozen cookies for her son's school b-day party this friday...what do I tell her? how should I respond? HELP!!
Let her know that you had UPGRADED your frosting recipe, but that if she prefers the old recipe that you will use that on all of her future orders.
I completely agree with prterrell. If she preferred the first recipe, use that instead. She gets what she wants and you get to retain her order. I think it's great that she is communicating with you so well.

Bandit Queen (1994)
Yes, there really is a Bandit Queen (1994). Her name is Phoolan Devi, and she doesn't want you to see this movie. When she got out of jail she protested the release of her own biopic and was joined by the Indian government, who censored the film. It's no wonder, thanks to the brave performance by the darkly erotic Seema Biswas. She's the kind of thief who steals every scene she's in, especially when she's not wearing a stitch of clothing.

Betty's Lean, Mean Three Bean Salad Recipe
The KFC bean salad is a versatile dish that you can serve to your family, guests or take to a pot luck meal. It is a classic dish, but you can easily modify the recipe to suit your individual preferences. Consider changing the types of beans you use. Garbanzo beans (chick peas), black beans and black-eyed peas are tasty alternatives.[5] Consider spicing up your salad with a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce. You can modify this recipe to include a southwestern flair by adding sweet yellow corn and a bit of spice.[6] This salad blends well with fried chicken, potato salad or a baked ham.

Girl About Town: Orangina's #ShakeLaVie Party
By Lily Smith
Beautiful people, killer music, zesty performances and an endless supply of Orangina. Girl About Town spent Wednesday evening sipping the iconic citrus drink and mingling with celebs at Orangina's #ShakeLaVie ('Shake of Life') party.
The event was at the eccentric Jewel bar right in the heart of Piccadilly. Upon arrival, the evening's destiny was in our hands: guests were told to roll a dice, which determined which room they were to spend the later part of the night in. Each room had incredible artists and acrobats, from the pianist-turned-hip hop performer Tokio Myers, to Café Del Mar's regular opening act Beats Boutique. We were fed and watered with delicious canapes and a selection of Orangina cocktails; the 'Gina Ball', made with amaretto, vodka and Orangina, went down an absolute treat.
Who'd have thought that the Chelsea elite would be such big fans of Orangina! "I couldn't miss tonight," tiny Louise Thompson told me. "Orangina literally is my favourite drink." A refreshingly humble comment from the girl we see sipping Moët & Chandon on our screens every Monday night.
I then bumped into Hugo Taylor and Oliver Proudlock and had to ask their views on the recently announced engagement of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews, brother of their good friend Spencer.
"It's glorious news, any engagement is glorious news," said Proudlock. "Spencer will be epic man! He'll definitely be the cheeky uncle when they have children."
"I'll think he'll be great," Hugo agreed. "He is a good role model, despite what people think or the things he has done in the past."
After the glasses were drained and plates emptied, we were treated to a performance from the gorgeous Whinnie Williams. The 27-year-old Londoner is storming the pop scene and, with her striking looks and stunning vocals, there's nothing stopping her. But, believe it or not, she has not always been as glamorous and confident as she seems now.
"When I started doing music, I had serious problems with my nerves," she told me. "I wouldn't sing in front of anyone. My mum took me to one hypnotism session and it cured me completely – I never get nervous anymore."
She also explained to me her nickname 'Sunday Girl' which she sometimes uses as an alias. "My first job was a Sunday job in a pet shop when I was 17," she said. "I was really quiet when I was younger. And people kept forgetting my name and because I only worked on Sundays, they called me Sunday Girl."
I asked her where we should look out for her in the future. "I have just filmed my latest music video – Real Damn Bad - in LA with my boyfriend. We were filming in a boiling hot desert on a motorbike. It was hell – I had to learn how to ride a motorbike in the heat, whilst wearing a tight black catsuit." We can't wait to see that!

some "protein flake" may occur in good Whisky and adds to the ambience LOL
If you dispense from a small shelf cask it just collects on the bottom and is not a problem - but for round table sessions first pour the whisky into your best Crystal Decanter and then fill the glasses from that after all that is purpose of the decanter again adding to the ambience :-)
