This is where you play back a recording, comment on it, share it on Facebook etc. It should be pretty obvious that to play a recording you simply click the "PLAY" button in the player, but let's briefly go through a few other things you can do on this page, as well as some tips on what to when you have problems getting a recording to play.
Comment on the Recording
Scroll down to the bottom of the page to leave a comment. If it's anything a SingSnap member loves, it's getting comments on their recordings! Keep it positive though, SingSnap is all about positive encouragement and if you can't find anything nice to say it's best to not say anything at all.
Flagging as Favorite
If you like the recording you may want to flag this member as one of your favorites for easy access to their recordings in the future. This is done by clicking the heart icon next to their username. You can also flag the recording itself as a favorite as well as the song and artist.
Share on Facebook, Twitter etc
Sharing on your social network site of choice is easy. We have buttons for Facebook, Twitter and Google+ located to the right of the player. For Facebook for example, all you have to do is click on the "Share" button and then (optionally) write something in the window that pops up and click the "Share Link" button to post it to your Facebook timeline.
Recording Your Version
Look for the button that says "Record Your Version or Duet". This will, as you'd expect, take you to a page where you can choose to make a duet with this recording (if allowed by the member who recorded it) or record your own version of it from scratch. This is also the button you click on when you want to add harmonies to your own recording. The button will then say "Harmonize Your Recording" instead though.
Link to the Recording
When participating in contests and challenges on SingSnap it's often a requirement to post a link to the recording you want to enter the contest / challenge with. To copy the link you click in the box to the right of the "Link:" text. The link will now be selected and all you have to do is click Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac). Now the link is in your computer's clipboard and you can paste it, Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Mac), in the message board reply. You can of course do this anywhere else too like in private messages, on your profile page etc.
Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions we get regarding this area.
Why isn't the song playing?
If the song isn't playing when you press the "PLAY" button you'll want to ensure that the song has fully loaded. Directly above the player controls you should see a black bar that indicates the loading progress. If that bar is all or partially gray the song hasn't fully loaded yet. In that case you simply wait a little longer, or if it seems completely stuck you could try refreshing the page in your browser. You may also wish to clear your browser cache and cookies to see if that helps.
Why do I keep having to wait for the song to buffer?
If you're seeing the buffering message repeatedly it's very likely that your internet connection has slowed down. If this is occurring you can press the "Stop" button and wait for the song to fully load. Slow internet connections will usually return to normal on their own but if it doesn't you can try restarting your modem and/or router (unplug the power for about 1 minute and then plug it back in) to see if that helps.
Why is song playback choppy?
The most common cause of choppy playback is related to system resources on your computer. Adobe Flash Player currently requires a 2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor, or Intel Atom 1.6GHz or faster processor for netbooks. If your processor speed is slower than that, or if your system is overtaxed running other programs, playback may become choppy. In this case closing any unneeded programs should help improve playback. To rule out other programs interfering with playback we recommend rebooting your computer if you have problems. We also recommend having just one browser tab / window open to avoid that other processes interfere with playback.
The player didn't load and I only see a blank spot where it should be, what should I do?
If the player hasn't loaded at all you most likely need to install or update Adobe Flash Player. You can download the latest version here:

Metro police say one person was killed in an overnight crash Sunday, on Sahara near Sloan.
The vehicle was traveling east on Sahara when the driver lost control. The vehicle struck a pickup truck before colliding with a wall, police said.
There were three occupants in the vehicle. Police believe the person killed was a passenger. Another occupant was transported to University Medical Center in critical condition, though it is unknown if it was the driver or second passenger.
The condition of the third occupant is unknown.

HAINES CITY, Fla. (AP) - More than 30 people who attended a central Florida dog fight could face charges.
Polk County Sheriff's Office deputies broke up the fight Saturday after getting an anonymous tip. One person was arrested and four dogs taken into custody by animal control. At least eight vehicles fled, but 15 others were abandoned at the grove, along with cellphones and money. Detectives are tracking down the cars' owners.
Sheriff Grady Judd says he'll aggressively pursue the cases but the investigations will take time.
Levern Gamble was charged with attending an animal fight. Authorities say he admitted to driving up from Miami.
The dogs will either be euthanized or given to rescue organizations.
Grady told The Ledger of Lakeland (http://ittybittyurl.com/2CK9) underground fighting networks use portable rings and determine the location at the last minute.

text: Grants up to $5,000 are available by the Kansas Health Foundation, in cooperation with K-State Research and Extension, for a Kansas Community Garden Grant. Applications will be accepted thru January 15. The program was introduced last year to encourage gardening as a healthy physical activity and to teach garden skills while encouraging gardeners of all ages to learn more about how to grow health promoting fruits and vegetables and incorporate them into meals and snacks. Another aspect of community gardening is that it can bring residents together in new ways to support personal goals in improving health. For more information about the garden grants, go to kansascommunitygardens.org or its also available at your local K-State Research and Extension office.

'My ears are still ringing from that little 318-hp Detroit'
September 12, 2011 | by: By Todd Cain as told to Lucinda Coulter
"I started riding 'shotgun' in my dad's Pete cabover when I was 3 years old. I remember looking at the pictures in Overdrive magazine, which he gave me to keep me quiet: That was 40 years ago.
"I spent my childhood and teen years riding coast-to-coast and learning from the best. In 1989, as soon as I turned 21 years old, I got my first long-haul trucking job. In 1992, I bought my first truck, and two years later, I owned three trucks.
"I'm no longer an owner, but I'm still a long-haul trucker. I pull haz-mat tankers for Miller Transporters, and I'm in my 22nd year of accident-free trucking.
"My ear are still ringing from that little 318-hp Detroit, and I'm still a big fan of Overdrive. Thank you, Guys, for some great memories.

Trash Talk – West Coast Tour Mix [Free Download]by äNDREW on Jul 20, 2012 • 2:15 PM No Comments
Trash Talk is by far my favorite active band right now, and it's a spot the Los Angeles quartet have held since around the release of Walking Disease back in '07. Just one of many reasons I dig this band so much is because Trash Talk, while not only unafraid to seamlessly blend metal genres, is further willing to show love for entirely different genres as well; they'll tour with OFF! and Odd Future with equal enthusiasm from one tour to the next, and in celebration of the mini-tour with Spaceghostpurrp this month, guitarist G. Carrots put together an ill '90′s hip hop tape featuring Cali-born classics such as "Ice Cream Man" by Dru Down, "Hard to Kill" by Spice1 and 10 other gems that'll have the homies trying to put five on it.
Stream above, download here, and check out Trash Talk this summer in a city near you.

Christianity not only leads its members to believe people of other faiths have goodness and wisdom to offer, it also leads them to expect that many will live lives morally superior to their own. Most people believe that, if there is a God, we can relate to him and go to heaven through leading a good life. Let's call this the "moral improvement" view. Christianity teaches the very opposite. In the Christian understanding, Jesus does not tell us how to live so we can merit salvation. Rather, he comes to forgive and save us through his live and death in our place. God's grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for savior.
Christians, then, should expect to find nonbelievers who are much nicer, kinder, wiser, and better than they are. Why? Christian believers are not accepted by God because of their moral performance, wisdom, or virtue, but because of Christ's work on their behalf. Most religions and philosophies of life assume that one's spiritual status depends on your religious attainments. This naturally leads adherents to feel superior to those who don't believe and behave as they do. The Christian Gospel, in any case, should not have that effect.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The Cherished Calendar Save the Date cards we personalized and ordered were perfect! Our wedding colors are black, white, and red and the design fit right into our theme. I was also able to add our wedding website to the backside of the card with some help from the design team. I went with the basic paper that was no additional charge as well as the basic envelopes and was surprised at the quality. They do not look cheap! The print quality of our pictures (which had been professionally taken) was great and the red of my Fiance's shirt in the pictures matched the red of the print in the design. I would fully recommend this product and plan on ordering the rest of the Cherished Calendar designs for our invitations, thank you cards, etc! The delivery was quick (even with the standard delivery option) the cards arrived much faster than stated."
"This is a great design and it was just what we were looking for! Everyone has shared positive feedback on the card. I didn't want to spend extra money on a higher quality of paper, so I stuck with the standard. It turned out great! We wanted to show several pictures on one card and this design was perfect. We're very happy with them and would recommend this design."
"The quality is great and the design is beautiful. I love my save the date. The only complaint I have is the pictures turned out darker than they are or how they appeared on the digital print. Would have liked the pictures to be a bit lighter and tad brighter. I still love them though. Very pleased!"
"The save the date turned out great. It was actually better then I thought. The paper material that was used was a good quality, better than I hoped. When we ordered I had to have the designer fix the calender to say the right day. They sent us an email with a proof and everything was right. We received the dates maybe a week after everything was reviewed and the actual order was placed. ill will be ordering my invites through this website as well. Great product and website!!"
"I was a little nervous ordering my save the dates online, but I'm so glad I did. This site is so user friendly and I loved the personalization pages, very easy to use. The cards were amazing!! So beautiful! My photos were taken in a field so the color scheme was perfect. I loved that I could put a photo on the back too. Delivery was super fast! I was bummed out that it said two weeks for delivery but it was here in less than a week! And absolutely check off design consult. It was free and the designer was super nice about giving suggestions. I am not hesitating to order my invites and whatever else I need in the future from this site!"

Going to Bed Angry
Sugar Mama: I blame "The Cosby Show" for a lot of things that went awry in my life. Lisa Bonet's clothes, which -- on her -- looked fabulous. On me? Dreadful. The whole "Gotta marry a doctor thing?" Bill's fault. (Thankfully, I gave up on that by the time Rudy hit puberty.) But the greatest Cosby offense on my life was that don't-go-to-bed-angry thing. Those two Huxtables resolved all marital issues pillow-to-pillow -- even if it took all night -- in order to insure a clear conscience during their rest, so they could start the following day anew.
I lost boyfriend after boyfriend during these kinds of nights! Because, here's the thing -- when I'm mad, I'm mean, irrational and dramatic. I'll suck the blood out of any issue and spit it in your face. And then cry about it, making you feel bad, forcing you into an apology.
What I really need at night is SLEEP. Sleep melts away most offenses. Or, at least, calms my beast. So, last night a friend commented on how Joe and I "never fight." "How do you guys do it?" she asked. I laughed and told her that we do fight, but that we never do it at night. "Sleep on it and your issues rarely seem as big in the light of day."
"Yeah, and then get up at 5 in the morning and get the hell out of the house." Joe added.
That was very funny, honey. I think I'll watch Cosby reruns until you get home tonight.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I just hate when they nerf some of the "move out of the way" mechanics, they're easy to understand. The Slabhide one is just wtf, I've never seen anyone fail on that... Maybe the odd one or two that spoke poor English and wouldn't accept any help regarding what to do.
I'm not sure how much it would effect people with low latency, I've had the odd lag spike when someone in my family decides to torrent but nothing that's gotten me killed.
Most mechanics are common sense, any that have to be learned can be tweaked slightly if the difficulty is too high. Don't tweak with common sense please.
The problem doesn't come from high latency, it comes from low graphics settings. Specifically, particle density. It becomes a lot harder to avoid standing in the fire when your graphics card is only up to rendering half of it, making it much less visible on the screen. But fire at least is colourful, falling bits of rock are not. Even worse is Corborus' burrow graphic, which I nearly always end up failing at since all that comes up on my screen are a few flecks of dust.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's not my fault for failing. But it does create fake difficulty in the game, and an imbalance between those who can afford mega-PCs, and those who can't (or those who own a Mac :P). WoW isn't the only MMO to suffer this; any MMO will suffer if your PC is cruddy enough, but it's a real shame that you can only change particle density on spell effects, rather than, say, texture resolution (i.e. have undetailed high-density effects instead of detailed low-density ones).
I've heard of this in the past, in gaming you should never be disadvantaged by your rig. Making spell effects noticable even on lower graphics settings should be something high on Blizz's list.
There's a difference between being ignorant and genuinely in a position like that.
I feel for you man.
Seeing as I don't know a lot about this, do you think Blizzard could solve this by potentially having two separate sliders for spell density and spell resolution? I'd rather the huge amount of fire be low detail and high density rather than super detailed and invisible too.

Dez, I'm on a Mac - not even one of the expensive 12 or 8 core babies - just a 4 core. I put in 8 Gig of RAM and sprung for the video card upgrade to the ATI Radeon HD 5870 and I'm running all my settings on Ultra and it looks great! I get around 60fps in most settings. I little less in the busiest sections of capital cities and up to 120 fps in deserted areas. Spells and effects look great in dungeons. Not sure what you mean about being on a Mac.
Macs, especially mac laptops, make it more difficult or expensive to get a good video card. Combined with driver updates being tied to *Apple*'s release schedule (since you can't install separate drivers -- at least, nvidia doesn't seem to provide them) rather than the graphics card manufacturers, and you've got a somewhat shitty situation for getting high end graphics compared to the ease + cost on a PC.
Cataclysm seriously hindered my graphics on my mac laptop; my roommate is even more screwed. I can't upgrade the graphics card in my mac like I might be able to on a PC, and even if I could have purchased an upgrade at purchase time (I couldn't), the cost to get the cards that are supported by the mac tends to be higher on average.
You're talking about a high end machine already. There are a lot of people out there that don't have high end gaming rigs, and they are the kinds of people hurt. Dollar for dollar, getting good performance out of 3d games on a mac is more expensive than on a PC.
Sir Broose said...
I can't argue with the higher cost and difficulty of upgrading a Mac. That is definitely true. I read his comment as being on a Mac was like being on a cheap PC with crappy graphic abilities. Perhaps I misunderstood what he meant.

By Ashley Conroy - email
JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - It's an alarming statistic. Alzheimer's disease is on the rise. Studies show Mississippi isn't immune, and 65-thousand people will have the illness by 2025.
"We consider Alzheimer's a health care crisis," said Patty Dunn with the Mississippi Alzheimer's Association.
That crisis has prompted meetings like one held Wednesday, as members from the national and state Alzheimer's associations, lawmakers, and others discussed legislation about "adult guardianship" laws.
"This legislation because other states have and are considering the legislation would put us all together saying we recognize Mississippi," said Representative Bobby Moak, a Democrat from Bogue Chitto.
Noah Moore said he can relate to this legislation as he has a family member with Alzheimer's out of state.
If guardianship laws pass during the 2011 session, if needed, Moore could handle all legal documents with less confusion.
"It (guardianship laws) will be a vehicle or a means to be able to take control of this situation," said Moore.
Then there's the issue of ethnicity. African Americans are two times more likely to develop the disease than Caucasians, and Hispanics are one-and-a-half times more likely to be diagnosed.
"Potentially one of the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, which are high blood pressure and diabetes, and those risk factors are more prevalent in the African American and Hispanic community," said Dunn.
This simple fact is another reason Moore has decided to take action against a disease that impacts millions of Americans and the family members who care for them.
"And we just can't sit back and allow this to happen, and these persons be in our community, and their needs not be addressed," said Moore.
If you would like more information about this legislation and Alzheimer's disease, you can call the Mississippi Alzheimer's Association at 601-987-0020 or go to their website at www.alz.org/ms

Vote of the week: How much do you spend at a theme park?
Written by Robert Niles
We have two questions this week, about the amount of money you spend on a theme park visit, not counting the admission ticket or parking.Tweet
Think about your last few theme park visits, and how much you spent on food and merchandise. Then try to divide those amounts by the number of people and number of days on your trip. (Thanks to TPI reader Brian Emery for the topic suggestion.)
Let's talk about theme park expenses in the comments.
Readers' Opinions
From Bradley Robertson on January 18, 2008 at 1:40 PM
For food my wife and I generally eat a decent breakfast and bring snacks to eat during the day. Then in the early evening we will usually just get a couple of burgers, or sometimes just go home/back to the hotel depending on when the park closes.
For Souvenirs it really depends. I buy a shot class at every park I visit and sometimes a shirt. But at Disney that rule goes out the door and the last couple of times we've spent $250-$500.
From Deidre Dennis on January 18, 2008 at 1:43 PM
I think before we started doing theme park vacations that I followed the advice of many folks who said to eat outside the parks, unless it's a special/scheduled dinner such as a Character Breakfast type of thing. We went to Disney World a couple of years ago and we were tempted to purchase a Disney World T-shirt right on site - about $22 per person. Since we needed to pick up some groceries, we found a local KMart and they had the identical shirts for about $5 per person. So from now on, unless it's something really special, we look around town before picking up those type of souvenirs.
In Disneyland, there are a bunch of sit down restaurants outside of the resort, such as Po Folks. I think Tuesdays kids under a certain age eat free, and that restaurant is similar to a Cracker Barrel. I learned early on that if you spend some time doing research, you really can save a lot of money and still come away with a good time and nice souvenirs to take home with you. It's helpful that some of the parks let you bring a backpack/bag with you and we always fill ours with water and snacks to munch on throughout the day.
From Russell Meyer on January 18, 2008 at 6:51 PM
It really depends on the park. At Six Flags parks, we'll rarely spend a dime, and usually will go out of our way to not spend any money in the parks. We will occasionally eat in a Six Flags park, but we usually will use a coupon or just split an entree between the two of us. At Cedar Fair parks it really depends on what kind of mood we're in, and how long we stay in the park. Our average park visit is typically not more than 6 hours, so we'll usually eat before we go in, and then eat after we leave. If we pull an all-day in a Paramount park, we typically will eat inside the park. At Busch parks, we usually will at least split an entree, or at least each get something small. Disney and Universal are completely different animals, and we've spent from $0 on some days and over $300 on food on other days.
Souveniers are pretty rare, and usually consist of a t-shirt if there's one that strikes my fancy. Even in Disney and Universal, we usually don't buy souveniers aside from toys to quell my Star Wars fanatacism in MGM or Once Upon A Toy.
From Ryan Traylor on January 18, 2008 at 11:58 PM
For me it really depends on the park I'm visiting. If it's a recurring park like SFMM, Knotts, or Disneyland, I generally will spend very little on souvenirs. Food however, I leave SFMM and go to Wendy's, but I will eat inside Knotts and Disneyland.
However, went to Disney World last year, and got free Disney Dining so didn't spend a thing there. But blew it on souvenirs.
From Larry Zimmerman on January 19, 2008 at 5:46 AM
One of the consistent quality items at Busch parks is the FOOD. My favorite food ride is the Stanleyville Smokehouse...er, the Fest Halle...I mean the Crown Colony restaurant...Darn. Too many good choices. You get my point.
As for souvenirs, we usually get shirts each year. We have bought hats and visors in the past, but they usually last more than a year (unless you're wearing them on the fantail of the Disney Wonder while underway. Somewhere there's a dolphin wearing one of my hats.)
From Erik Yates on January 19, 2008 at 5:47 AM
I agree with Russ and Ryan, depends on the park. Since Universal, disney, BGT and SWO are my "home parks" we visit them quite often, so we tend not to spend a whole lot when we are there, doing things like packing snacks and drinks for the kids. Souvenirs are a rarity unless it comes to things like first rides, and pictures, but even then we only do it if we get a discount using our passes. When I travel to parks that I'm not likely to visit again any time soon due to sheer distance from my home, I make sure to grab something, and I also want to sample the food so that I can make a solid decision overall on whether or not I'd like to visit again.
From Mark Hollamon on January 19, 2008 at 6:24 AM
Since my wife and I live in Orlando, we usually make dining out a part of our theme park experience. Disney has some world class restaurants. You are going to spend some coin to experience them, but we have found that if you use a Disney Visa from Chase to earn rewards you can pretty much get a comp meal every other month. If you are a regular traveller or visitor to the parks you really should look into a rewards program.
Universal is another story. We love Mythos and of course you have Emerils' restaurants (we like Tchop chop much better than his signature restaurant in City Walk) and Latin Quarter is not bad, but other than Tchop Chop we really would not visit USF with any excitement for the food.
SeaWorld is just plain bad! I would brown bag it before eating there. The only decent place for my $ is Sharks and it is overpriced for food. The experience is nice, but you can get that at the Coral Reef in Epcot.
From Matthew Baker on January 19, 2008 at 6:32 AM
Food, maybe $20-ish (at Disneyland; less elsewhere). Souvenirs, I get them sometimes but not on every visit; maybe $~10/visit if you average out what I spend over the course of several visits. (This at Disneyland too; elsewhere probably not at all.)
From Bill Lohr on January 19, 2008 at 7:26 AM
It really depends on the park. At Kings Dominion we will spend 0 to very little on food or anything else. At Dollywood we will eat all our meals at the park and get some gifts as well normally. If the park has a quality all round product we spend and also if they have good food we will spend. Parks that do not we tend to eat before or after we go to the park. Disney we go crazy each time and spend way to much on everything.
From Adrienne McDonald on January 19, 2008 at 7:32 AM
For souvenirs we get those flattened pennies for us & collector spoons for Mom in law & sis in law. I'll get some postcards if I don't have certain ones already. If I have enuf money, I'll get a shot glass for my best friend. As for food, we eat up, a lot, before the park. We take snacks to eat on the way but if we're still hungry by the time we get there, we'll eat somewhere close by. We rarely eat anything at the park. Last time, we just ate some Cold Stone Creamery ice cream...one order split between us two. The first time we went to SFFTx we ate at the big walkin place w/the picnic tables in it (anyone who's been I'm sure knows what I'm referring to) & ate there that time. At PKD, we ate at the pizza place looking out at Anaconda & Volcano. It was too pricey for us so we ate a bunch of breadsticks. We usually eat before & after the park visit unless we REALLY hafta eat then we just eat the least expensive place. We headed to the new Johnny Rockets at SFFTx but it was like $10 for a burger only so I said forget that! The coupon book really didn't have much as far as meal discounts. My husband is the one who usually has to eat. I'm usually good for the day til we eat after we leave.
From Eric Ey on January 19, 2008 at 9:18 AM
I frequent Disney often, but never do I but souveniers. I have 4 disney souveniers, none of which I bought: A Tower of Terror Mickey, a then I have three things from Year of A Million Dreams: The Pin Lanyard, The Dream Fastpass, and the Dream Mickey Ears.
In terms of food, I eat inside of Disney Parks 95% of the time. My favorite places to eat inside the park are Red Rockett's Pizza Port, where the pasta will feed two along with a bread "stick"(more like a loaf) with really good food. My other favorite is the Taste Pilots Grill in DCA, which is "slightly" over priced, but has really good burgers and criss-cut fries!
If I eat outside, I eat in DD at Wetzeles Pretzels (sp?) Cheap, fairly decent food. You can always walk onto Harbor Boulevard and find all types of food too
From Chris Walton on January 19, 2008 at 9:54 AM
As far as souvenirs go, I'm into the smaller and relatively cheaper niknaks like shot glasses and magnets. Most times when I buy shirts, I never end up wearing them, except a couple of them.
From Lawrence Smith on January 19, 2008 at 11:33 AM
I spend most of my money on food & games at the parks. As for souvenirs, I rarely buy them unless it's a park I'm visiting for the first time. Then I'll usually buy a ride photo or a magnet.
From Robert OGrosky on January 19, 2008 at 12:16 PM
It counts what parks Im going too.
When I go to my local SF park or any SF park I spend very little money. The food is usually awful so we araely eat any meals at all in the parks and the souvenirs also suck so I rarely buy anything in the park, unless it is one I wont go to for awhile, then I will try to find a shirt to buy.
Now when we go to parks in FLA/CA or other parks on vacation like BGW/Dollywood etc, we will eat many meals in the park and buy alot of trinkets/shirts etc because I find them to be good qaulity and something I would want.
SF needs to lower the prices of the food they serve and increase quality if they want any of my families money. And the same goes for shirts etc that are sold in the park. When one has a medicore experience in a park(which for me anyway is common in a SF park) it doesnt put me in a mood to spend any money at that park.
From Phillip Florendo on January 19, 2008 at 3:23 PM
I'm willing to skip a meal and starve a bit to save some money at a theme park. ...Probably not a good choice health-wise, but c'mon... food is expensive.
From TH Creative on January 20, 2008 at 8:14 AM
Okay let's do a little math here:
Magic Kingdom (2006 Attendance 16.64 Million Guests)
The 6% who spend 0-$10 generates - $4,995,000
$538 million in gross revenue.
That's estimated annual gross revenues from just one Walt Disney World park
From Derek Potter on January 21, 2008 at 12:05 PM
It really depends on the park. My home parks have particular places from which I always have to eat. I'll usually have at least lunch and drinks from every park. How much depends on the quality. I'm not much of a game person, although I've been known to drop quarters at the arcade like mad once in a while. I do have a little collection of pins and patches going, so if they are available, I'll probably pick one or two of those up. I spend a decent amount of money, but probably never more than a hundred bucks on my most expensive day. I also can spend no more than 10 to 15 as well. It just depends.
From Ben James on January 21, 2008 at 2:12 PM
I typically spend less than $20 per visit. My home park is SFStL. But when I went to BGA I spent about $100 between food and souveniers. that same week I got to go to WDW where I spent $800 in 2 days between food and souveniers (never been before). Then I spent $300 and UO and IOA.
From Mike West on January 22, 2008 at 10:46 AM
Tickets for California parks I usually get for free, so that enables us to junk food to our hearts content. Corn dog, funnel cake, frozen lemonade, & refills of soda in the Souvenir cup are all it amounts to(What's that $100) =)
HOWEVER don't follow that pattern at Hershey!!! or you'll really miss out. Everything is real food tdhere compared to any park in the world. THe sliders(real cheese not from a pump, the barbecue, & the mac n cheese(possibly the best I've ever had anywhere).
At Disney, I can honestly say I've never had anything good to eat(the epitome of exhorbitat pricing for nada is the $8 donald duck puck). Even Blue Bayou is hideous food, but who can resist the atmosphere, or the air conditioning. Here's a tip, at some parks look for the chicken. (Great America has a chicken dinner place, & so does Knotts. At least its not theme park food, & its hard to mess fried chicken up. Souvenirs, I'm content to buy last years sale items, unless its a super cool new ride t shirt. The smashed penny thing is great! We started collecting for a friend & now have started our own book.

Actually, I have no idea what is going wrong, but I had the
same problem when compiling xli 1.16 on Redhat 3.0.3 (i.e.
with gcc 2.7.1-1 I think).
gcc failed to compile "main.c" (as far as I remember). I could
get around that by compiling the offendinf file without
optimisation (i.e. without the "-O" option).
After that I got a woring xli ECOFF binary.
Hope that helps!

Monsoon's last gasps may have come and gone
The monsoon doesn't officially end until Sept. 30 but the storms that socked the Valley on Monday and Tuesday may have been its final act.
Matthew Hirsch with the National Weather Service said the state has entered a drying period.
"It is possible this is the end of the monsoon here," he said. "The monsoon moisture has shifted into Colorado and New Mexico and across the desert southwest we're just expecting increasing dry air."

Mobile games are a hot category these days. Multiplayer tablet games, on the other hand, are a bit harder to come by. The larger form factor lends itself well to multiple players gathered around a virtual game board, but few apps pursue this route. Fireballs HD is one of those few. Up to four players can join a Tron-like game, competing to keep their fireball alive without hitting the trails of others.
We can't say we didn't see it coming, considering we saw this preview of the tablet-optimized SwiftKey keyboard during CES, but what SwiftKey is announcing today looks quite a bit different, to say the least.
Allow me to introduce Swiftkey Tablet - a tablet-only Honeycomb keyboard set to launch around the same time as the Motorola XOOM tablet. Sticking with the 3-way-split design, the new holographic look reminds me quite a bit of Tron.
Buried deep in the depths of the Honeycomb SDK that was released yesterday, this Tron-inspired Honeycomb logo, which, as we later found out, was actually part of the Honeycomb Easter egg. Whether this logo is THE Honeycomb logo or not remains to be proven, but it is definitely official, as it came straight from the SDK. Judging by my reddit submission, many of you liked it quite a bit but had ideas of your own of how it could be modified to be more in tune with the Android theme.
The Android team sure has a sense of humor. Previously, in the Froyo SDK, besides tons of awesome code, they've also added a function called wtf() (What a Terrible Failure) and an even more hilarious isUserAMonkey() that returns true if the user interface is currently being messed with by a monkey.
Examining the Honeycomb SDK docs released earlier today, armed with a hint from Roman Nurik, I found the following gem: fyiWillBeAdvancedByHostKThx().

Capital lease analysis
For the purpose of evaluating whether a lease is an operating or capital lease, the University uses the Financial Accounting Standards Statement 13 (FAS 13), and certain subsequent amendments and interpretations. The UC Guidelines on Capital Leases (pdf) as they pertain to real estate (Guidelines) and a Power Point outline of Capital Lease Analysis - The 90% Test (pdf) are presented to support campus efforts to screen leases for possible capital lease treatment.
Capital lease analysis is:
- complex involving four separate, basic determinations based on a complex matrix of rules,
- subject to FAS 13 rules (presently 47 pages) that are periodically amended and interpreted, and
- dependent on subjective judgments despite involving quantitative processes.
Ultimately, the decision to classify a lease as a capital lease, which places it on the University's balance sheet and counts it as debt, is made by the campus Controller and is reviewable by the University's outside auditors. Any significant lease that could be a capital lease should be reviewed very carefully. In assisting the campuses in this review, RESG typically screens the lease with UCOP Financial Management, which may elect to review the lease with the University's outside auditor to assure that the accounting treatment is fully confirmed before the lease is approved. "Debt by Accident", i.e. entering into a lease and later determining that it will be booked as a capital lease and therefore as debt, has to be avoided. Note that the Guidelines and other materials in this section are ONLY screening tools and they do not assure that a lease that appears to be an operating lease will ultimately be treated that way. Any lease that is even close to one or more of the four capital lease triggers described in the Guidelines should be reviewed with OP as early as possible.
In addition to the Guidelines and Power Point presentation, a template is provided to calculate whether a lease is a capital lease pursuant to the 90% Test, one of the four capital lease tests. The 90% Test template allows the lease practitioner to plug lease terms and market data into a model to take a first cut at determining whether or not a particular transaction is deemed to be a capital lease under the 90% Test. In the University's experience, the 90% Test (xls) is most often the reason that real property leases are categorized as capital leases
For a lease of space in a building which space cannot separately acquired (e.g., as a condominium interest), the 90% Test may not need to be performed. If the University is leasing not more than 40% of the building, it is deemed to not make sense to purchase the entire building (even if the 90% test would indicate the lease terms represent a capital lease). For situations in which the University leases more than 40% of the building and the 90% test indicates a capital lease, contact RESG to see if the space in question might qualify for an exception on this basis.
RESG is available to answer any questions you may have regarding the Guidelines or the 90% Test template and to assist you in screening leases for capital lease treatment.

Walk the stand up to the tree. 5. After the stand is up, simply lift it up and out of the stakes, and remove them.

Customer Reviews
help with one person setup. I recomend using a come along winch for heavy stands.
Great way to anchor the base of the ladder stand so it can be lifted. Did it solo but would be nice to have a helper.
I'm only 5'6, and getting a bit long in the tooth, so I still wasn't able to get an 16' ladder stand up by myself. I removed a section of the ladder and was able to set it in place. I've struggled with setting ladder stands in the past and this item did make the job much easier. Realistically, it's a two man job no matter how big you are.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I agree and disagree with some of the comments posted here. 10 mans CAN be harder because of the need for each person to do their part. Are they harder right now? Absolutely not.
I run mostly 10 mans and I find the content just as easy, if not a bit easier. No worries about MC on Kel'T...no "LF1M, must be SPriest" for Razuvious....etc etc. Heroic is a bit harder and requires a bit more for the moment.
Maybe soon, we'll see what real hard modes like ZA with 4 chest timer can do for an instance. Even Sarth 3d with 10 man is harder, but the reward isn't necessarily worth the effort. A bear mount guaranteed...so worth the effort.

Using ground turkey instead of the traditional beef allows for much less cooking time, so instead of hours on the stove you are ready to go in under 30 minutes. Tip: This version is a bit mild. If you want a little more kick, just add some extra chili powder. Serves: 4 Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes until onion softens. Increase heat to medium-high, add ground turkey and stir, breaking up large pieces with the back of a wooden spoon. Add the chili power, black pepper, and cumin; stir and continue to break up the meat to incorporate the spices. Allow mixture to cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the black beans, pinto beans, tomatoes, 1 cup of chicken broth, and corn. Taste and add salt if needed. Continue to cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more broth if the chili is too thick. To serve, ladle chili into bowls. If desired, top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

The wonderful thing about the Internet is it's always growing. The dreadful thing about the Internet is it grows faster than any one person can ever manage. Below are some hand selected blogs that you should be reading if you own a small company or write software. I will keep the list updated as I find more interesting articles and blogs that I read regularly.
- Kalzumeus – Admittedly it took me about two years to finally pronounce the name of Patrick's blog correctly. Fortunately, you don't need to know how to pronounce it to find a whole wealth of information there about building a software business. Patrick has done it and writes extensively about it. His newsletter is not to be missed either.
- Planscope – Brennan Dunn owned a software consultancy, left it, and started building a product named Planscope to help freelancers. In that time he has written a book and started The Freelancer's Guild (I'm a member) along with a whole host of other products. His writing is clear and actionable.
- Groove – Groove is a newer blog to hit the scenes, but it has made a splash both with it's openness and actionable content. I highly suggest reading it several times over as it contains a ton of great information.
- 37Signals – The poster child for building a successful (mostly) bootstrapped business, the 37Signals blog Signal vs. Noise contains a lot of helpful information. Their writing is less actionable these days as 37Signals grew.
- Buffer – I have become a huge fan of the Buffer blog since I started using the Buffer application to post and track links on Twitter. Their app is great, but their blog is amazing. Tons of great content, and updated frequently by a wide variety of authors so you get lots of different ideas.

Unemployment is at double digits in metro Atlanta and Georgia.
Unionized public workers are taking it on the chin in many states.
So was it wise for Lockheed Martin workers in Marietta to reject a strike recommended by their union leadership?
The leadership was trying to stop Lockheed from reducing the retirement plan for new workers, AJC reporter Marcus Garner writes. Instead of the more lucrative existing pension plan, new employees will get a 401(k) plan.
As best they can, unions are supposed to fight two-tier systems that treat new and existing workers differently.
What's more, the change, which the company said it needs to remain competitive, is not small potatoes, Garner reports.
Union members said a current 30-year employee could draw nearly $730,000 in pension money over 23 years after retiring at age 55, Garner writes.
That compares with the $42,000 payout a new employee would have for retirement after the same time at the company and at the same age, Garner reports. With the 401(k) plan, Lockheed will contribute $1,400 a year for each new worker, in addition to employee contributions.
The difference wasn't enough, however, to convince a two-thirds majority to vote to strike, Garner writes.
What do you think? Smart move or short-sighted?
Will workers at other companies face similar choices in the future?

Having been involved with Lockheed/Marietta over 20 years, your first two sentences state the case quite well. Large govt. contractors are the last to get real concerning all benefits, including retirement. As stated by the new CEO over there, the bottom line is the bottom line. To stay competitive, Lockheed (indeed, all govt. contractors) have to follow the lead of GM, Chrysler, et al, and not only cut retirement benefits, but look at all cost effective measures to stay viable. Unfortunately, the inequitable treatment of tenured employees versus new hires is regrettable, and will of course cause new tensions in a workplace already stressed.
March 7th, 2011
7:47 am
It seems interesting that the union comments and the article only count the company's contribution to the new 401(k) plan when making a comparison to the current plan and do not even factor in any knid of interest over that 30 year period. Makes you wonder if the union and/or the AJC are trying to present a biased view.
March 7th, 2011
7:58 am
I'm glad the employees decided not to strike. A strike right now would have only added fuel to the fire in the rupublican backed fight against organized labor. The package offered is a decent one considering the current economic landscape. Government contractors like Lockheed rely on taxpayor money to be profitable, so luxuries like pension plans need to go. Now, if we find out that Lockheed execs recieve millions in bonuses over the next three years, I think the union will have every reason to fight for that piece of the pie when the next contract is up. But the pie should be in the form of percentage based bonus' or one-time payouts. Life-long obligations are just not sustainable.
March 7th, 2011
8:08 am
Maybe union members are starting to see that they have a choice of allowing their employers to make a profit, or not having an employer.
March 7th, 2011
8:11 am
The line "The deal also… increases pension payments from the company by $11 a month" is vague at best, misleading at worst. That $11 is per month per year of service, going from $77 to $88, a 14% increase. Thus, if an employee had 20 years of service, the monthly payout would go from $1540 to $1760, a $220/month increase. For 30 years, that'd be a $330/month increase.
March 7th, 2011
8:12 am
If they would have went on strike people would have been asking what to do with that big empty lot up there in Marietta in a few years…
I cannot believe the union president was "disappointed." Shouldn't she listen to what the workers want?
Unions are the serpent squeezing the life out of the US

Good- It would have been a bad image on those workers. They obviously don't know that the UR in GA is 10.4%!
March 7th, 2011
8:32 am
I'm glad the union members decided to go against the call to strike. They should be thankful to have a job, given the state of the economy. Unions have far outlasted their usefulness, and should be disbanded. It amounts to guaranteed income/benefits for the worker, and higher prices for the rest of us. Just look at the auto industry for an example.
March 7th, 2011

Who, other than the military retire at age 55? It's a fair deal, the union members should be happy with it.
March 7th, 2011
8:39 am
Now, if we find out that Lockheed execs recieve millions in bonuses over the next three years, I think the union will have every reason to fight for that piece of the pie when the next contract is up.
And that is exactly what will happen!!. I was hoping Lockheed would not go down this road. What does everyone think that has been going on since the early '80's? These companies has been offloading their pension contracts and obligations on to the federal government ( The Federal Guaranty Corp.) and giving the money that would have gone to the pensions to CEO's who havent lifted a finger to help. Why do you think average wages in this country have gone DOWN 4% since 1980? , while CEO pay has gone up over 230%.
March 7th, 2011
8:40 am
This proves that the union rank and file is smarter than their leadership. Yes this decreases what a new hire receives. Big deal. That is exactly what has happened in most businesses over the last several years. Not just GM and Chrysler but also to employees of smaller companies like Genuine Parts, 3M and Coca Cola. The days of cushy, employee contributed retirements have ended. We HAVE to go back to more personal responsibility and a lot less "waiting for the guvment" to attend to our needs. Lockheed employees are no different and should be held to the same standard.
March 7th, 2011
8:42 am
By the way, Larry. Lockheed has not off-loaded their retirement obligations to the federal government. That has primarily been done by failed companies. It isn't as simple as "I don't feel like paying for this any more".
March 7th, 2011
8:59 am
The deal is more than generous. I find it amazing that there is even any discussion of it.

The unions in Wisc, Ind, Ohio, etc should take a hard look at this decision. At least some union members see that the time, they are a-changing. With our economy, we simply cannot afford to pay for union pensions and benefits, and they days of bus drivers making six figures with 12 weeks off are over.
This morning on Bortz, he played a clip of a Wisc union member asking a Gov Walker supporter, "why do you have a right to your money?" Shows just how out of touch most of these unions are.
March 7th, 2011
9:14 am
The defined-benefit pension is fast becoming a thing of the past, even in government jobs. Very few organizations can confidently make pension promises 40-50 years out. The idea of a new employee today retiring at 55 and spending the next 30 years collecting a company pension is just not realistic, union or not. I have a pension payment due to me from a previous employer. So far the management of that money has changed hands three times, so the chances of me getting a check from the legacy of that company starting in 2031 are pretty slim.
March 7th, 2011
9:16 am
In this case, the union workers at Lockheed made the correct decision not to strike. Union leaders seldom listen to their members. If the national defense budget is cut a good bit, then Lockheed may have a large empty parking lot……………strike or no strike. Personally, I am against unions. However, if I had been union bred perhaps my opinions would be entirely different.
March 7th, 2011
9:21 am
Absolutely, they did the right thing. Trying to hold on to an old-style retirement plan is nothing more than sticking your head in the sand. While I have the opportunity I want to mention that your article last week on Delta Air Lines on-time performance was just more of the same the fish-wrapper coverage I have come to expect from this newspaper/fish-wrapper. On the heels of your latest round of Delta bashing came this: Delta was ranked the most admired airline worldwide in Fortune magazine's 2011 World's Most Admired Companies airline industry.

My Dad was a laborer at Lockheed and was promoted to a position that gave him direct super vision over mostly union workers. He was well respected by his teams, but he found it virtually impossible to discipline or fire people for not working, for showing up drunk, for hiding out and sleeping on the job — repeatedly. The union would have them back on the job within 48 hours and the bums knew he couldn't do anything about it. Now we have OSHA and a host of other gov agencies to help ensure a safe workplace and a fair wage. Unions have an unfair stranglehold on many important businesses. Their goal's are generally far more lopsided in their own interests than anyone could logically accuse of management – yet management is not allowed to take any action to level the playing field, and unions just want more and more and more.
March 7th, 2011
10:11 am
@ James — really, who is fleecing who. Why should tax payers be burdened with bailing out companies like Lockheed when they can't fund these fat pensions that are far and above the average worker? (its already happened brother — I lived through it in the 60's and 70's with Lockheed) The average tax payer get's nothing like this and they've got to pay for someone else's? Abraham Lincoln was right — there is no America without labor. But guess what, now there is virtually no labor because of unions (they make it somewhere else).
March 7th, 2011
10:13 am
"The difference wasn't enough, however, to convince a two-thirds majority to vote to strike, Garner writes." Duh, do you think it might have been because it doesn't apply to them? I don't like the two tiered pay schemes. Bad for morale.
I was surprised the vote wasn't closer. It was short-sighted and selfish but necessary under today's conditions. It would have been great if they could have made a valiant stand, but nobody wins in a strike, but I suspect the company would have come up with a little better offer. But not enough to fight over.
If the Tea Party gets its way, they'll all be out of a job anyway.

What astounds me the most is that the posters do not aspire to reach the pay levels of Lockheed employee's. They wish to bring the wages down to their level.No wonder the middle class is gone.

Perhaps these overpaid,greedy,self-serving Union slugs have finally wised up and seen the handwriting on the wall. They are now going to accept reasonable salaries and benefits just like the rest of us honest stiffs in the working world or be out on the streets! Just like in Wisconson the general public is fed up with Union thuggery!!! That is esp true of the criminal Union chief thugs!!

March 7th, 2011

Pretty simple. We have a job offer for you new employee. We have a 401k to offer. Do you want the job? He can say yes, or he can say no.

Somone showed some good sense for once at Lockheed.
March 7th, 2011
12:12 pm
for those concerned about two-tiered systems. where do you start to make changes? the new workers can accept or decline the position if offered. at least they have a 401k plan. how many employers stopped offering those in the last couple of years? plenty.
another thing in some of these types of employment situations, you've got long time employess who don't work very much, or then there are those who "retire", yet come on as a well paid part timer, keeping another new position unfilled, and prevents another employee from moving up the list for promotions or whatever. happens way too oftern in the city / county / state governments too.
March 7th, 2011
12:21 pm
Sorry Denise, we can read and do simple math. We know that the last two strikes were complete failures when we came back with exactly the same offers after losing 8 weeks pay. You should be thanking us for showing some common sense. A strike on this contract at this time would have been the end of the Union at Lockheed as we know it. We did you a favor!
I hope you're ready to come back to work in the plant or retire because your days as President are numbered. I see at least 1300 votes against you.
March 7th, 2011

those overpaid,greedy,self-serving CEOs have finally won the battle. maybe lockheed can hold on the line on cost over runs on the JSF. lol.
March 7th, 2011

the union at Lockheed does nothing but protect the sorry-assed workers that get fired and run to the union for protection. if they worked anywhere else they would be hunting a new job
March 7th, 2011
12:53 pm
To answer the question of who retires at 55, mainly the CEO's who are paid millions of dollars in salary and bonuses. It is interesting most of the people who have negative comments about the union are not union members. I hope this does not come back to bite those folks since management will now always have the power to dictate to employees how they will be working and what pay if any they will receive. First the teachers and now the manufacturers. This is going back in time.
March 7th, 2011
1:02 pm
Realistically, how many new hires will ever work long enough at the company to retire? Most of us on this blog over 65 probably passed through there.
A lot of us are retiring at 55. That's the dirty little secret of Social Security and pension income averaging. We'd be better off financially without SS if we worked on to 65. But that's a big if. After 35 years of hard labor we can barely make it to 55. That's why I say to raise the age again to draw full benefits is a non-starter.
March 7th, 2011
1:06 pm
In bashing unions it is easy to forget how oppressive American working conditions were before labor unions began to appear. If you enjoy a forty-hour week, perhaps a couple of coffee breaks during the day, time-and-a-half for overtime, a vacation every year, paid holidays, you can thank those union members of old who bargained for and struck for those benefits. Do you honestly think management would have done anything on behalf of the worker had it not been compelled to do so? You may not be in a union, and you may not work in a union shop, but the benefits you have were earned by union workers and you should make no mistake about that.
March 7th, 2011
2:23 pm
Common Sense, downsouth and Paul…"The defined-benefit pension is fast becoming a thing of the past…"
True. Thus the latest contract is a good deal; raises and bonuses; not bad. New-hires will/or should know this coming in. If there's "friction", it'll be because the union, not necessarily the new hires.
Too much power…"virtually impossible to discipline or fire people for not working, for showing up drunk, for hiding out and sleeping on the job — repeatedly. The union would have them back on the job within 48 hours…" Also true. I've seen this myself with most unions. It's not just private sector either. Most of us would be astounded and perplexed with what postal (union) workers get paid and the fact that it's near-impossible to fire one.
Rick … Coal miners need unions; very few others do this day and age. I hate excessive CEO pay as much as the next guy. But, that has nothing to do with being unionized. It has everything to do with being a shareholder and voicing your opinion with the boards of directors, etc; or, declining to give your business/hard-earned money to a business with which you disagree.
March 7th, 2011

Funny, unions are supposed to be about solidarity, but it looks like the older employees who had pensions sold out the younger ones!
March 7th, 2011
6:11 pm
This is why unions in the south are jokes. What do you think the teamsters would have done? At least the teachers in Wisconsin are standing together. Paying dues and your fellow union member sells you out!
March 7th, 2011
6:53 pm
The union at Lockheed Martin did the right thing in voting not to strike. I've lived through several strikes and what people don't realize is that after the union benefits run out for the people walking the picket line, their rank and file suffer immeasurably. They have their electricity, telephones and gas cut off. Their kids show up at school wearing old clothes and worn out shoes. Eventually they lose their homes. Even when an agreement is reached and the rank and file return to their jobs they really never make back the money they lost during the strike. You can review all of the empirical data of strikes and their aftermath. You'll find that NO ONE wins in a strike. This fact needs to be drilled into the minds of everyone whom is either a member of a collective bargaining unit or in management of a company that employs unionized workers. All we have to do is to look back a bit during the Eastern Airlines strike when thousands upon thousands of jobs were lost when Eastern finally went out of business. The southern part of Atlanta hasn't really recovered to this day to the level it was before the Eastern strike.
March 7th, 2011
7:19 pm
I don't understand why the Union didn't support this for "new hires". A new hire has a choice to go work somewhere else if they don't like the job/compensation/benefits package that the company is offering.
March 7th, 2011
7:19 pm
Eastern was a private funded company. Lockheed is a government welfare cash cow. $600 toilets and cost plus contracts are gravy. If union members making $60,000 – $65,000 per year can't hold out for a week or two, then they are a pretend union.
March 7th, 2011
7:21 pm
It is because union members paid the price in the past you have those benefits. Modern union members in the south are soft and gutless.
March 8th, 2011
9:15 am
The rank and file did not approve the strike vote. They took the deal offered because it's a good one. These days, new hires don't get as good a deal as us old heads.
I've been in my union for almost 30 years. Many who are not in unions have no clue what it means to be a member, and of the benefits. Remember this: management and the union sign a contract. Once the contract is signed, then management and union has to live up to it. It's a two-way street.
Sure there are unions that are corrupt, but the majority of us union workers realize if the company doesn't make money, then we don't make money. Conversely, if work conditions are unsafe, and workers are not treated according to the terms of the contract, then it's trouble for both parties (lawsuits, etc.)
March 8th, 2011
9:45 am
"These days, new hires don't get as good a deal as us old heads."
Like I said, the older union softies who should be strong sold out their union brethern. Southern unions are fake …….as long as I get mine, I don't care about you.
What, does "IAM" stand for "I am the only one to be concerned about?"
March 8th, 2011
11:33 pm
The workers should have gone on strike to get a lot more money and better benefits they deserve. Lockheed is underpaying their workers big time and a strike would have made management pay a lot more. Hopefully, the union can get a strike together next year.

"Yes,Jane said it was because you were the cause of the vamp[ire slaughter going on,"nessie said. "So,and i we havent killed that much,"i said,defensivly. "Jane is stubborn,she will probably be back,"bella said. "Ill be ready,"i growled. "Lexi,you cant kill a volturi member,"Alice said and i had another vision of the day there was that standoff. The volturi…Continue

All of us teens sat on the porch and talked. Seth put his arm over my shoulders. I smiled and blushed. I looked over at collin and crysta. Collin was whispering sweetly in crystas ear. I looked over at trishchen and lara. They were staring into eachothers eyes intently. I looked at brady and vanessa. Brady was moving a strand of hair out of vanessas face. I smiled and how good everyone was together! Seth truned my gaze to him and kissed me,sweetly. So i guess now that wearwolfs can have…Continue

potty training 2 year old daughter
I started potty training my daughter this week. The first 3 days i took her to the potty every 20 min,with no success. Ive noticed she actually would hold it and go in between breaks. the last 2 days i switched to every 40 min with no success. She actually embraces the whole idea but the problem is she just wont pee nor poop. I read books,sing and she ll stay sometimes like 10 min sitting there. Am i doing something wrong? does this mean she is not ready? Im considering letting her run butt naked and let the accidents do trick, then switching to underwear. Since i read that wearing Pull Ups just delays the learning. anyone have any suggestions??? thanks
