Thrills, spills and trying times
By now you will probably know whether you have a 'climber' or not: Most toddlers at this age like to try to climb stairs (though he may still need your help) and to climb up on things that are about chest height, whether that's the sofa, chairs, toy chest, tables or anything else. They'll be able to haul themselves up and then turn around to sit down facing forwards, and then wait for your applause... By now they can also probably fetch objects to use as 'step-ups' to things they can't quite reach from the floor, and should have worked out (with your help) that the best way to come down is backwards.
'Climbers', meanwhile, seem to climb everything and anything. Constantly. They won't be content to climb up and sit down, but will want to climb on something and then stand up and walk about, or if possible, climb higher and maybe even jump off. One of ours liked to climb up into his highchair and grab a bib whenever he decided it was time to eat. Consequently, a room that was safe for your toddler a few weeks ago may now leave you barely able to blink. You can't really toddler-proof completely for climbing, but you can take a few steps to limit the dangers, such as moving coffee tables away from sofas, trying to make sure your baby can't climb up to a windowsill and trying to show him safe places and ways of climbing.
Communication / emotional development
Many seventeen-month-olds are able to say at least 15 words clearly at this stage, and may have started to use one or two of them together. As his ability to express his particular wants, likes and dislikes increases, you might be surprised how particular he is about certain things. Most toddlers like routine and will often be quick to point out to you what should come next, or when you've forgotten something: Whereas forgetting part of a bedtime routine a few months ago may have led to him being grumpy and more difficult to settle, he should now be able to let you know what it is he's missing, whether that's a certain story, blanket or goodnight kiss. Toddlers at this age can also learn routine very quickly, even over just a few days if you make a point of doing something at the same time on a daily basis.
It may only be a few months ago that your toddler was demonstrating frequent separation anxiety, but now the shoe is probably on the other foot, with you wondering where on earth he's got to. He's more sure on his feet and ever more curious of the world around him, so take your attention away for a few seconds and he's off to explore. If you have been wondering when you were finally going to lose your extra baby weight then now might be the time. It is though, a good idea not to always get up and run after your toddler. Try sometimes calling him to bring him back, or waving and saying 'bye, bye then, Mummy's going this way'. Of course when out of the home you'll need to watch very carefully and be ready to make a quick dash for it, staying close enough that he won't get into any danger.
You may be concerned if your toddler has outbursts of anger and frustration, particularly if he expresses it by slapping you in the face. He's also quite likely to show his independence by disobeying you quite deliberately at times. But both of these are perfectly normal: He's always trying to push his own limits and test the boundaries with you, which can be frustrating for both of you. Experts suggest that the best way to handle this is to remain calm, try a distraction and even ignore the behaviour where possible. Of course you're not going to ignore it when he does something dangerous, but making a big fuss is likely only to intrigue or entertain him and encourage more of the same behaviour.
Some time around now your toddler may move from one two shorter day-time naps to one long one, if he hasn't already. This can make your day a lot easier, giving you a longer chunk of time to get other things done. But the transition can be an awkward time, as your toddler tries to go for a longer stretch without sleep but then may give in just as you get to lunch time and wake up hungry not long after. You can help by giving him a bit of structure: If he's struggling to make it to lunchtime consider bringing his lunch forward a little to a time when he's still alert enough to eat well, and keep him nice and busy in the period leading up that. Some babies will prefer a long late-morning sleep, in which case the transition may be a bit easier.
At play
As your toddler's fine motor skills and co-ordination improve he'll enjoy building and making things, exploring different textures and observing how different substances behave when shoveled, shaped and poured. He can have a good go with simple, chunky jigsaws and might enjoy playing with playdough - although for now this will probably be limited to squishing it about. If you try playdough then make sure that whatever dough you use is non-toxic and, while a little bit will probably find it's way into his mouth without doing harm, it's best to discourage eating the dough.
Most activities are play to your toddler, even doing the vacuuming! It's perfectly normal at this stage of development for your toddler to seem more interested in the everyday household items that you use, than in his toys . And, as his self-confidence and independence grows, he'll want to do more and more things for himself, some of which you'd probably rather he didn't attempt alone or even at all.
What you can do
As with many aspects of family life, you'll need to know how to pick and chose your battles with your increasingly independent and determined toddler. If he's insisting on doing something alone that's time-consuming or messy his way, but not dangerous, then why not let him have a go at least sometimes, and save the definite 'no' responses for something that's dangerous or when you're in a particular hurry? It might be frustrating for you when he spends a good five minutes trying to put his socks and shoes on or unlock the door when you want to leave the house, but try to think of it as learning time that for him is every bit as interesting and valuable as sitting down to a jigsaw or playing in the sand. You can draw boundaries by allowing him to do certain things only with your help, or at certain times, and explaining why he can or can't do certain things alone.
When it comes to climbing, remember that saying 'no' may sometimes make something more attractive. Try taking a positive rather than negative approach; You can do this by drawing attention to, and encouraging, the behaviour you'd like - such as sitting down on the sofa and turning around to climb down backwards - rather than focusing on what your child shouldn't do, i.e. stand up and jump off the sofa.
NB: All babies develop at their own pace and some will reach developmental landmarks more quickly than others. This timeline is meant only as an approximate guide for parents. Premature babies will develop more slowly than full-term babies and can be expected to develop in line with their age calculated from their due date. If you are worried about your child's health or progress consult your doctor.

Able to simultaneously charge four tablets, this 48W Aukey AIPower quad-port car charger is the most powerful we've tested.
The company's Lightning connector is already reversible on the eight-pin dock side, but Apple might start offering a reversible connector on the other end as well.
Whether it's because you like the pretty design or because you need its superior functions, these are USB drives you do not want to lend to your mates.
The Samsung Power Sharing cable lets you donate power from one compatible mobile device to any other gadget that charges with a micro USB port.
Or a 32GB drive for $16.99. Either way: lots of extra storage for your Android device! Oh, and your PC, too.
Commentary: Intel aims to eliminate USB, HDMI and the power cable in its quest to create the wire-free PC. But the journey will be a long one, and uneven in terms of its challenges.
DisplayPort technology lost out to HDMI in the marketplace, but it could get some help from next-gen USB connectors coming in 2015. Don't kiss those copper cables goodbye just yet.
Even when it's working well, the Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router has nothing to justify its expensive price tag.
If you need lots of extra storage space in a compact package, the LaCie D2 Thunderbolt 2 is a great accessory for your Thunderbolt 2-enabled Macs.
With a Raspberry Pi and USB gamepad controller letting you run riot on your sofa, this student project is couched in innovation.

JANESVILLE (WKOW) – Janesville Police say alcohol may have been a factor in a single vehicle crash that injured two people early Sunday morning.
The Janesville Police Department responded to a single vehicle injury accident on the Milwaukee Street Bridge around 2:23 a.m.
Authorities arrested the driver of the vehicle, 25-year-old Veronica Walker of Janesville, on a charge of OWI causing injury. Police said Walker and a passenger were transported to Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center by ambulance for treatment of injuries.
Officials said a second passenger was arrested for violating probation and was transported to the Rock County Jail.
Witnesses told police that Walker was traveling west on W. Milwaukee Street at a high rate of speed when the vehicle jumped the south side curb, entered the sidewalk and struck the bridge railing.
Officials said Walker's vehicle spun around and struck the railing with the rear portion of the vehicle and eventually came to rest facing in a northbound direction on the sidewalk just east of the Riverfront Athletic Club.
Police dispatched the City of Janesville Street Department to secure approximately 30 feet of bridge railing. Authorities said the vehicle and bridge railing were severely damaged.
Police said estimates were not available for the repair and replacement of the cement railing.

Table and chairs
Barb from Mishawaka, IN– Verified Buyer
I bought a 48 inch round table with adjustable legs and five of these chairs in different colors. The only probably we had, was we couldn't decide what side of the table we wanted up1 One side was a pretty oak and the other side was a light gray. Both the parents and kids , LOVED the set! This is really a awesome set that is very well made, you can't go wrong!
Sturdy and adorable!
Cynthia from Marietta, GA– Verified Buyer
Okay, these chairs were not cheap, but they are so well made and because of the design of the legs, practically topple proof. I bought the purple color (2 of them) for my grandkids' playroom (in my home) and they are just right for the Lego table (I also got on this site along with the flat top you can put over the Lego top). So much fun!

10 Reasons to Use Multimedia in the ClassroomPosted by Barbara Schroeder on August 4, 2010
By incorporating multimedia in their instruction, teachers can capture attention, engage learners, explain difficult concepts, inspire creativity, and have fun. However, there are many tools available and many ways to use those tools. If you are a teacher searching for a technology tool to accomplish certain learning goals or outcomes, you can easily be overwhelmed. Given the limited amount of time teachers have during the day, why should you take the time to learn about and use these tools? I'll try to answer this question.
Following is a list of ten reasons you should use multimedia in your classroom. As you investigate and try these and other tools, you will notice that they are social–encouraging sharing, feedback, publication, and other experiences that support learning. By modelling social learning and learning with technology, you will be preparing your students for success in today's rapidly changing world.
1. Facilitate and develop a community of learners through online ice-breaker activities. These activities offer fun and easy ways to get to know each other while also providing outlets for student creativity. A neat tool that works well for this is VoiceThread. Students can use a computer web-cam to record a video of themselves and view other students videos, all on one page.
2. Help students visualize difficult concepts or procedures more easily by using static or dynamic multimedia. I have used a very simple and efficient software called ScreenSteps, which allows you to quickly create visual handouts for learners. Teachers and students can use Jing software to record a screen shot or video, which produces a video tutorial or information about a website, embedding the video on their website or sending it to the student as an email attachment. These types of software provide a great way for teachers to make the most out of their multimedia and online resources.
3. Scaffold learning through activities enhanced by videos and online games. When assigning reading about an obscure historical event, you might want to create pre-reading activities by having students watch and comment on videos that fill in needed background knowledge. Searching for videos about events on Global Grid for Learning (GGfL), for instance, can provide needed support and add to a student's gap in knowledge. Then you could embed these videos on your class website, blog, or wiki. Or have students add to a playlist as they locate more videos on the topic.
4. Make language and culture come alive through the viewing and creation of audio and video instruction. Students could view videos and television programs available online and stay up to date on current events in that country. They could also create their own videos and share them with another class, comparing cultural norms and addressing other questions through a group blog or wiki.
5. Provide a "menu" of authentic assignment options for students to complete, allowing them to explore and identify their passions and talents. Encourage them to create and publish an original digital story. Have them produce a weekly podcast show for the classroom, highlighting events of the week, using blogs. They might also want to film their developing skills in a sport or record their progress in learning a musical instrument.
6. Enhance accessibility through the use of powerful multimedia software tools. Encourage students to use a speech-to-text tool to write their next essay or short story. This is especially helpful for students who have fine motor challenges or students who have trouble with keyboarding. Use auto-captioning features to create accessible multimedia for students with hearing challenges.
7. Enable visualization of concepts and their connections through collaborative construction and discussion of concept maps. One of my all-time favourites is CMap tools, a free, multi-platform software tool that can be downloaded to your computer. Students could work in groups, constructing a concept map and even recording within CMap tools this construction.
8. Encourage collaboration and feedback by integrating assignments with tools that support conversations and comments. For instance, have students post their slideshows and have them view their classmates' presentations, and post comments. Or have students create video comments on video sharing sites such as TeacherTube. Use collaborative software such as blogs and wikis for students to easily create, edit, and publish their work. And make sure you provide information for parents to access these social media sites to see what their children are doing.
9. Make learning situated and personal with easy to access information from you and the rest of the world. Have students subscribe to your class Twitter and blog feeds and enable them on their mobile devices, if possible. Or, have them use a Twitter aggregator, such as Tweetdeck, to stay on top of news announcements. Show them how to subscribe to dynamic sites using RSS Readers and how to read and track updated content. Have them subscribe to podcasts and rate those podcasts. Allow students to contact you using SMS.
10. Help students document and present their learning through authentic assessments. Instead of taking an end of term test, have students collect their work and detail their progress on their Learning Log, using any number of free blogging tools. Show them how to tag their posts, how to create categories (which could be the course objectives or standards), how to link to artefacts, how to write reflections, and then set aside time at the end of each week for reflection and documentation of their work. At the end of the term or semester, students could then refine their Learning Log, turning it into a showcase Portfolio, presenting it to the class and parents, discussing their work, what they learned, and where they want to go from there. Not only would this individualize their learning experience, but it would make students more responsible for their work and enable them to experience learning as being life-long and active.
As you can see from these ideas, you can easily align instructional goals and empower instruction through using appropriate multimedia tools. It takes some planning, time, and expenditures (video cameras, software), but in the long run, your students will reap many benefits, such as taking more responsibility for their learning, becoming aware of their learning and how to document it, and realizing their own creative potential.
6 Responses to "10 Reasons to Use Multimedia in the Classroom"
Technology has a key role to play in our teaching resources and has not yet have achieved anything like its full potential in education. A crucial feature is that any facility should engage children in conversation to discuss the content rather than sit back and be absorbed in watching or playing the game. Point 8 maybe should appear as item 1?
A key to children's learning retention is through practice and much of this can occur at home. The disadvantage of some of the school facilities is the cost to replicate these at home.
Thank you for a most well thought-through article. As a teacher I would argue against Alistair's re-arrangement of your list. The collaboration and feedback can only come after the child has actually attempted to do some work for themselves!

Thanks madam for this very very useful article.This article gives me much needed information about the use of multimedia package in classroom.
Barbara Mam,
Thanks you for this most useful article,which gives insight about the use of multimedia in the classroom atmosphere.
In this global era of teaching, this is a very relevant article.

March 19th, 2012
A service was held today in honor of my good friend Ross Greco. I loved him dearly. His wife Melody asked me to say a few words about him at today's service…
"When Melody asked me to say a few words about my buddy Ross here today, I knew that I had to do it. I had no idea how to do it. I just knew that I couldn't chicken out. That would be selfish. That would be thinking about me. Today is all about Ross. Today is about giving Ross the all love and respect he has earned in this world. And my friend Ross would never have chickened out. Ross would never shrink from his responsibility. Ross wasn't that kind of guy.
I have often said, when trying to describe Ross to someone who didn't know him, that if I was an employer, I would want to fill my whole organization with people just like him.
In all the years I've known him, and for most of those we worked together, I never once saw him fail to help anyone he encountered that needed help. It just wasn't in him. If he COULD help you he would, and if he couldn't help you he would FIND someone who could. He was tireless, never looking for the EASY way, just the right way.
But there was another side to Ross that we all treasure equally. He was wonderfully funny. I remember watching him tell the same TRUE story about himself… FIVE times to different groups of people… each time laughing so hard I was brought to tears. Anybody here that knew Ross will understand when I say that one day not too long ago, when my garage door jammed half way open, I started to laugh. Not because there was anything funny about having a broken garage door, but because it instantly brought to mind one of his funniest stories.
Nobody could want a better son… nobody could want a better brother… nobody could want a better husband… nobody could want a better father… and none of us could want a better friend. Ross had a favorite little thing he liked to say to people. When he said it, he would act like it was a joke… but it really wasn't. He would say "I want you to know that I'm here for you… and when I'm not here for you… I'm there for you."
I've really only known one person like Ross in my whole life, and that was my dad… who coincidently, passed away in the middle of March just 5 years ago. When he did, I said something about his place in this world, that also applies to my good friend Ross… On the day Ross died… March 12th, 2012… the status of everyone on Earth went up a notch… because suddenly there was more room at the top."

As you may already know, our mission at YouVersion is to help as many people as possible freely engage with the Bible, no matter where they live or what language they prefer. And of course, one way we do that is by providing as many reading plans as we possibly can in various languages.
While we agree that it would be fantastic if we could offer all reading plans in your language, we are only able to offer reading plans in different languages as a result of the work from our translation teams. Our volunteer language translation teams work very hard to translate the different reading plans and other areas inside our app.
If you are interested in helping to translate from English into your language, then we'd absolutely love to have you join our team of volunteers! You can sign-up directly at http://volunteer.youversion.com/become-a-volunteer. Volunteering with YouVersion is a fantastic way that you can literally help reach people all over the world with the message of God's love!
Another way to for you to help add more reading plans in your language into YouVersion, would be for you to contact any churches or organizations that might have devotionals or Bible studies in your language. If you find that these organizations are interested in providing their materials to a broader audience for free, we'd love to chat with them once they are ready to go. (see also the link at our support site called "Submit a New Reading Plan to YV" )
We look forward to working with you.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

At some stop - maybe Fulton street - you turned to me. "Can I borrow your pen?" you asked.
"Sure," I said, and gave it to you.
"I know!" I said. "Who does that?
"I mean, that woman did," said my pen. "But yeah, I know what you mean."
The doors closed. For the next four stops I sat on the train, confused.
Why did you do this, Becky (I am going to call you Becky. If you think this is rude and presumptuous, you should hear about what happened to me on the train this morning)? Maybe you are dealing with some pen-related issue of which I am not aware. If so, my mostly sincere condolences. That sounds weird and sad. Maybe you have been jilted by a man who looks like me. Or a woman who looks like me. If any woman looks like me, especially with this half-beard*, my completely sincere condolences.
My best theory is that you read the following in my notebook: "Ugly sounding lady frigging hot as crap". Now, I can understand how that could sound offensive. I'm writing a comedic radio show right now, and was working on some fake radio dating personals. Some lady with an uncouth demeanor who talks about what a friggin miss america or whatever she is. I will readily admit this joke is not going to set the world on fire in its current state. But it was also a one line brainstorm! These notes are not ready to be released into the air, like hundreds of doves! If they were released, most of them would immediately fall to the ground, misshapen and flightless and sometimes a little sexist. But I was not showing them to you, you were READING MY NOTEBOOK.
Anyway, that's my theory. That you walked away from the train thinking "Well Becky, you struck a real blow for feminism today."
Maybe I'm reading this wrong. Maybe you suffer from a Memento-like brain disorder, and immediately forgot that you had a pen in your hand upon borrowing it. Or maybe you knew it was my only pen and you wanted to point out how reliant we have become on simple technologies! If so, thank you! I had no goose with me from which to pluck a new quill, nor an ink pot into which to dip an improvised writing tool. My perspective has been broadened!
When I got to work, I rode the elevator with Paul Rudd and I was like "Paul, the weirdest thing happened to me, man" and he was like "Oh no buddy what was it? What floor are you going to? I'll get off and walk you to your office so we can process this together, bud-style." and we really hashed it out.**
In any case, if you get this, let me know what it was about that situation that caused you to ask for and then immediately dispose of my pen. I am curious. Let me know what color the pen was, or what it said on my notebook, or do something really invasively passive-aggressive, so I know you're really Becky.
Love Always,
Confused Penless guy
p.s. I am not looking to date you. I do not think we are compatible. I have a
number of pens I would like to hold on to, and you seem to feel exactly
the opposite.
p.p.s. Also, I am dating Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor because I like
strong-willed independent women who don't throw my goddamn pens out of
the subway train.
p.p.p.s. I am maybe not literally dating her, but the rest of that is true.

I hate to see people wear long faces, as if they were ill,
making their day a boring one, perhaps thinking of an unpaid bill;
the first thing I do raising up is pull up my blinds:
let the sunrise gently kiss my pretty flowers!
Lots of times I fell into depression wanting to cry,
and shrouded in bleak thoughts, all I saw was shadows and darkness...
I couldn't breathe...I needed to escape, not die!
So in the briefest time, I took my stand against hurtful loneliness!
A new person was born, and that's no small victory...
as I kept telling myself, " For your heath's sake, smile! "
It worked like a cure, and my whole mind and body
were transformed...living worry-free and feeling fine!

Does anyone remember climbing on this cannon at Clark Park? Sadly this poor fellow has been put out to pasture and time has not been kind. There was a time when many small towns in the US had cannon to commemorate the fight and sacrifice of others for this country. Unfortunately the idea of children playing on weapons was too much for some to swallow and many were taken away. Agree or disagree, it certainly is nice to see this friend again.

For most of us today, we think of horses as beautiful creatures, who graze on farms or act as pets for the privileged. But there was a time when they were our co-workers, sharing the daily loads. And like people, some were better at their jobs than others. Here is a look at a trophy acknowledging a top-notched work term, an employee of the month so to speak.

Louisa Fowler's Seashell Art Returns to Mukilteo
A large and artistic picture frame, created in Mukilteo more than a century ago, is coming home. It will be welcomed at the Lighthouse in a ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 7. The frame was made by Louisa Fowler, daughter of Mukilteo co-founder Jacob Fowler and his wife, Mary Warren Fowler, daughter of an important Indian leader who signed the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855. "First Daughter" Louisa decorated the solid wood frame with shells and colored rocks collected long ago from the beaches of Puget Sound.
This relic of Mukilteo's past is currently in storage in the Everett Museum of History. Neil Anderson, whose parents attended Rosehill School, has been instrumental in arranging for the loan of Louisa Fowler's artwork to the Mukilteo Historical Society. Neil, who has written several articles for the MHS Newsline, volunteers with the Everett Museum of History. He was able to locate this object from Mukilteo's past after being shown an article describing it in The Seattle Sunday Times, February 23, 1964.
Louisa Fowler's seashell artwork will be displayed in Quarters B in the exhibit, "Mukilteo: The Way We Were."

Right of Way
By Rob Elder
On the coast of northern Sonoma County, where the Pacific Ocean batters rocky cliffs, a legal and ethical dilemma is emerging as pieces of shoreline break loose and tumble into the sea. Since California is a coastal state from top to bottom, the situation has statewide implications.
A little more than years ago, a private community known as The Sea Ranch was allowed to build houses along this 10-mile strip of coast. In return, the public was granted a permanent easement to use 3.5 miles of bluff-top trail at the north end of The Sea Ranch. The agreement, passed into law in the Bane Bill, also required five public rights of way within The Sea Ranch from Highway One to the coast.
But since then, waves have torn away huge chunks of land. In one spot, the trail itself recently slid into the ocean. That place, and several others where the cliffs' edge is only a few yards from the trail and coming ever closer, are within the 3.5 miles where public access is required.
For now, the section where the trail collapsed is closed to the public. Sea Ranchers skirt around the cave-in, detouring through a fellow resident's front yard.
While Sonoma County's Parks Department tries to decide what to do, Kate MacIntyre, chair of The Sea Ranch Association board, vows not to give an inch.
"We should reject any request for additional use of Sea Ranch lands," she declares, quoting the original deal, embodied in legislation known as the Bane Bill: "no additional public access requirements shall be imposed at The Sea Ranch."
This reminds me of a story about Jon Yardley, book editor of the Washington Post. According to his sister, when they were children their father every Sunday gave each of them two nickels, one to put in the collection plate and one to buy an ice cream cone after church. As they crossed a little bridge over a creek on one Sunday morning, Jon tripped and one coin flew from his hand, dropped between the planks of the bridge, and was lost in the creek.
Whereupon, his sister says, Jon immediately exclaimed: "Oops! There goes God's nickel!"
In this case, is the public's nickel the one that now lies beneath the waves, or is it the new edge of the continent? It seems harsh to say that public access was lost; yet what if the bluffs continue to erode until more and more Sea Ranch "commons" (community property) and perhaps even some homes would be taken to provide a new path? That's harsher.
I live on The Sea Ranch, so I'm affected, although my property is not threatened. As a practical matter I'd like to see a compromise. But I can't think of one.
That's what makes this such a dilemma. It seems unfair for the government to try to amend the agreement retroactively. But clearly the intent of the law was to provide public access to the coast.
The entire California coastline is eroding bit by bit, and existing arrangements on who has what access are bound to become outmoded as the coast erodes and changes shape.
Manmade trails and manmade laws are always impermanent where the sea attacks the continent. Day in and day out, year in and year out, the Pacific never stops pounding.

Technology is really developing bit by bit in its quickest possible time. You will just suddenly realize that our world has undergone a lot of innovation already. Even the way to contain enjoyment and happiness has changed. Long ago, people are having fun with interactive games like basketball and dodge ball only. Today, you can now be entertained even when you are alone in your house or room. Thanks to internet and online games that made it possible. Especially today, because you can now have an easy access to the internet and play the game you want.
Play Girl Games in Your iPod Touch
Internet can now be accessed through many devices aside from desktops and laptops. It includes smart phones, tablets and iPod touch. An iPod touch is a touch screen device by Apple that looks like a phone but can provide you many features like a smart phone has except texting. It has no slot for sim cards. You can browse, take pictures and play here. Wi-Fi helps you to access to the internet using this device. It's a good thing because it is small and handy yet it does what a smart phone can do except texting. You can also consider buying an iPod touch because by having this, you will have a separate device from your smart phone so your phone's battery will not be easily drained.
For this reason, game developers took this chance to extend the limit of playing girl games like Baby Hazel. It allows the players to play games when they are not using desktops or laptops. They can also play the game in more comfortable way because an iPod touch is a touch screen device. This will help them to score higher than playing in desktop. It is said to be convenient also because you can bring your iPod touch with you in case you switch places.
If you haven't tried playing online games, then it only shows that you are being left behind of what is in today. Surrounded by various devices which are products of advanced technology, setting aside your chance to access the internet is like missing half of your life. Are you not wondering why people spend long hours in front of their computer that they can even skip their meals? If people are not facing their monitor, for sure you can see them holding their phones or tablets continuously tapping the screen.
What People Get from Playing Games Online?
We can never blame people why they became addicted playing games online. Of course everyone would want to get away from our busy lifestyle that we also would want to breathe and feel relaxed even for just a couple of hours. And one of the best ideas that we can ever take hold of is playing games online that we can do anytime and anywhere we want to. Certainly, this can help us alleviate the stress that we feel everyday thus giving us the energy to work for tomorrow's activities.
As a matter of fact you can have lots of choices what games you want to play for free. Because of this, people from all over the world are tempted to play games online. You can play games of different genres depending on what really suits your taste. You can even play games with your family and friends which is a good way for you to strengthen relationship. If you want to try playing an exciting game that you can easily control, Happy Wheels is something for you to consider. It allows player to pick for a character and the course to take. Never let your character fall or else you will lose the game. Most players failed to reach the final point which makes this game a great challenge for players.

When it comes to gaming, there are so many variations to it. There are different genres or types of games that could be played and enjoyed by many. But here, the certain type of game is not the concern, but where the game is made, and how it is played.
Computers and Entertainment
Computer games are the kind of games which are played on an electronic device that is able to process data and show output on a screen. This new method of gaming has evolved from the invention of the computer, where a computer's main purpose used to be just to process data. Nowadays, computers have turned into something people incorporate in their daily lives for them to get entertained and continue their days.
Gaming on Computers
There are a lot of games which are available on computers. Mainly, these days, there are two types. The first type is the offline game, while the second type is the online game. An offline game is a computer game which does not require internet connection in order to be played, while the online game requires an internet connection to be played.
Online Games
As stated above, there are different types of games that can be found. Online, there are many varying types of games. These games differ in two, the flash games, and the real-time games. Flash games like baby hazel are games which only require internet connection for it to load before gameplay, gameplay itself does not require internet connection. Real-time games, however, do require an internet connection as it is being played. Flash games are a popular type of game, and are very vast in numbers, types, and genres for they are easier to develop in contrast to real-time games. When it comes to gaming, the internet is one of the best places to look.
Babies are never too young to play. They should be given this opportunity in their lives. Basically, playing helps in the child's development. This is not surprising anymore knowing that a child could not undergo any serious undertakings yet. If this is the case, parents need to realize the importance of baby games. There are friendly games out there which could be practiced all the time. Apart from this, reading books aloud would be very helpful too. Reading should go alongside with playing. Discovering new things is made possible this way. This would be the start of the child's exploration to things.
Playing with Babies
Playing and interacting with babies could be done whenever the parent or the mother likes. There is no need for restriction in here. There are signs when the child wants to play. For instance, he would look around and smile all the time. However, a different thing would be noticed once he is no longer interested. One good sign of this is crying. Remember, babies always want to be with their parents. They are considered to be the favorite companion in here. This only goes to show that the child depends on the parents so much. Meaning, elders play a vital role in the overall development of the baby. They need to be on the look all the time. It would not hurt to place the kid on a blanket. This may also be done on a pad. Just in an area where he will be comfortable. Once done, put on soft toys. Do not be scared if the baby wants to experiment with such. This is pretty normal. Experimentation with the environment happens all the time.
Toys do not have to be expensive. Erase this common mistake for it is not true. Give anything that is worth playing with. Then, the child would learn.

Planning the renovations for your bathroom has to be laid out properly. This includes everything from planning the theme, the look, the fixtures and deciding who is going to work with the renovations. The typical initial reactions would be to do the renovations themselves since they do not need to pay for labor fees. But, if someone is to make a comparison between the need to rent additional tools and equipment and if unwanted mistakes happen, the labor fees are typically worth spending.
In most cases, these contractors have extensive knowledge and experiences about what a bathroom needs. These typically focus on the efficiency aspect such as managing the electric wirings, the plumbing and other set ups that might be needed.
How to Find a Reliable Contractor
Finding a trustworthy contractor is important, especially if you are looking to renovate your bathroom in the most efficient and most cost-effective way possible. Here is a guide for hiring bathroom renovation Sydney contractors:
* Ask your friends or relatives if they know of a reliable contractor. In most cases, they will provide you feedbacks as well as to the quality of work they provide. If your friend or relative had their bathroom done just done recently, all the better, you might be able to see a glimpse of their workmanship.
* The contractor must have knowledge of the different aspects of renovating a bathroom. This will include electrical connections, plumbing set up and the proper installation of bathroom fixtures.
* Make sure that your contract includes all the necessary scope of the job. It must be complete with the outline of what will be done during the renovation, materials and fixtures that are going to be used, explanation of what they will do during the renovation. It is also worth noting the duration of the renovation.
* Settle with a definite computation of how much the service would be as well as when the payment is going to be fully paid. In some cases, having a clear understanding of cancellation penalties would be a great idea.
* Finding a contractor that offers warranty that covers the materials and the workmanship is also worth discussing.

How is this made possible by the way? It is for there is an exceptional business structure being employed by the mentioned website. It is originally designed by the creators of Quibids. Basically, they see to it that customers purchase packs of bids first. This is a mandate before shopping into the website. Such bid costs $.60. These are the bids being used in the buying of goods. Apart from the money that consumers have to pay in order to create bids, there is a participation fee being charged. This is the key to the generation of a decent amount of profits. This is the lifeline of the organization. They have to assure that the rates are a bay. In getting free packages, games could be played. This is something very rare in the web these days.
Indeed, Quibids is an auction website. There is no website like this where clients are only obliged to bid one cent at a time given. This is very wise considering the fact that items would receive thousands number of bids. This is the technique used by Quibids. This is not found in other auctions website out there. Buyers who are interested must see to it that they learn more about the mentioned site.
EPC certificate are prevalent in England as well as in Wales. These were put into practice from 2007. Such certificates are applicable for domestic properties that have four or more bedrooms. Over time this certificate has been extended to smaller buildings as well. This certification has come into being as a result of a directive of the European Union for the energy performance of buildings. That again has been brought into British law. Many experts however, are not sure of the accuracy of EPC procedure. They feel that the procedure followed in such a certification is inaccurate and low on reliability, especially when it comes to listed and old buildings.
Assessment Of Energy Saving
For such certification an energy survey needs to be done. This is performed by an assessor. The assessor will visit a property and examine certain key points. They will look at the domestic boiler system in use, insulation of lofts, radiators and hot water tanks. They will check the double glazing of the windows and so forth. They then make observations that are put into a software program. This then calculates the energy efficiency of the home or building. A single number is provided by the program as a rating for energy efficiency. There is a recommended value added that offers potential for improvement. There are environmental impact figures calculated as well from this program.
Ratings On Energy Efficiency
There is a table presented of the estimated energy bills produced per annum where improvements can be made. The survey needs to be paid by the householder. The cost of the survey amounts to sixty pounds or more for a four bedroom building. As per the age and construction type of a building the assessors make assumptions on the insulation properties of the different building elements. If the building owner can provide evidence of insulation having been improved upon due to improvements in the home, the assessor will override his or her assumptions. Today there is a lot of emphasis on energy saving. Governments are enforcing such certifications to make people aware of the need to make their homes more energy efficient.

Pretty straightforward, really easy. Sprinkled a hint of allspice on the pork and cooked it on the George Foreman. Composed the salad on plates rather than tossing, seemed quicker & easier to portion that way. Served with garlic naan.

Hey, whoa whoa whoa.
Everyone needs to calm the fuck down and remember what a private life is. Guys, this is disappointing as hell. Be happy for Darren and move on. Sure, there's that fangirl part of us all that's just going, "fdklfjslkfjds NOOOOO fdsoifjdslk", but we can't let those feelings take over. I've known about this fact for a while, and now that it's out in the public, it's up to us as Darren's fans to respect his private life and just go back to loving him for what he does best, which is being himself and acting and singing and being a kickass person… WE DIDN'T LOVE HIM BECAUSE WE THOUGHT HE WAS SINGLE, DID WE? That's what I thought.

Halloween Candy Resources & Tips
2 Reviews
Add Your Review
If you love M&M's then you will really love the fact that you are able to get your favorite milk chocolate candy in a bag that contains 42 ounces of candy and is able to be resealed. These candies are bite sized and are great for parties, flights, trips that include long drives, over night parties, game night, and even for a gift basket to tell someone that you hope they get well soon.
You are able to get the great taste that you love and be able to reseal the bag to make sure that they stay fresh for as long as possible. If you have a sweet tooth, with a bag this large, you are sure to find that you will be able to meet that sweet tooth time and time again. This means no more trips to the store in the middle of the night but instead you can just reopen the bag.
Avoid melting. Free ice packs with expedited shipping
Choose expedited shipping and we'll include free ice packs with your order.
In warm weather months, CandyStore.com includes ice packs free of charge with all at-risk orders that are shipped using expedited shipping methods (2nd Day or Next Day)!
Ok, Great!

Very. Good size kids love it great service love it
I had a good experience. Candy in bulk is much better to buy than going to a store and getting a bunch of small bags.
Pros: Easier to buy bulk

IBT or NJASAP? NetJets Pilots To Choose Next Month
An agreement was recently reached between the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP), the latter of which seeks to break away from IBT Local 1108 to form an independent NetJets pilot union. The pact will "resolve the question of the NetJets preferred representative for collective bargaining by a secret ballot election conducted by a mutually acceptable third party." Under the agreement, the vote will take place next month, and a simple majority will determine the winner–either the IBT Airline Division or the NJASAP. If the NetJets pilots choose to retain the IBT, then the NJASAP and its leadership "will discontinue its efforts to replace the IBT as the collective bargaining representative." But if the NetJets pilots vote in favor of the NJASAP, then the IBT will relinquish representation rights to the independent group as of July 11. If that happens, there would be an "orderly transfer of executive board duties" to the Flight Options pilots, who in 2006 voted for representation under IBT Local 1108. The accord also calls on the parties "to explore the potential of a cooperative relationship" in the future.

We are continuing our discussions of diets, dieting, and the various ways people have attempted to lose weight. In the last article we looked at the phenomenon of women's magazines as a huge factor in the return of calorie counting after World War II. And we saw the rise of meals in a can, which are still with us today.
What Is Dietary Fiber and The Glycemic Index?
The History Of Diets And Dieting, Part VI More Approaches To Weight Loss
Last time we continued our discussion of the history of diets and dieting by talking about the first low calorie diet plan, and about the beginnings of counting calories. We also looked at diets that were based on 'magic pairs' and on special food combinations said to promote weight loss because of some supposedly long-forgotten-but-now-rediscovered chemical connection between the two foods. These connections were said to somehow fool the body into absorbing less nutrients than the individual foods, eaten separately, would provide.
The History of Diets and Dieting Part V The First Low Calorie Plan
We've been discussing the history of diets and dieting. It may seem obvious to you that the idea of the calorie, at least as it pertains to dieting, must have been with us since the beginning of dieting. However, such is not the case. As we discussed last time, it wasn't until the 1890s and early 1900s that chemists Wilbur Atwater and Russell Chittenden did the initial work of measuring food as units of heat that could be produced by burning it. But from the get-go, the calorie concept has never been nearly as scientific as it may appear.
The History Of Diets And Dieting Part IV
Our low carbohydrate way of life is not new, dear readers. Last time I told you that the world's very first diet book was a low carbohydrate plan written in the mid 1800s by William Banting. Banting was told about this approach to obesity control by his ear doctor, Dr. William Harvey. Dr. Harvey said that he had heard about healthful advantages from a diet low in sugar and starch while he was in Germany and Paris. He related that he had traveled to attend a lecture given at Stuttgart by a celebrated physician and professor, Dr. Niemeyer. Dr. Harvey had also gone to Paris to hear a certain Doctor Bernard report on using the diet plan for treatment of diabetes.
Sugar By Any Other Name Would Be As Sweet
There is another small subject concerning carbohydrates that needs to be addressed before we move on to discussing protein. What about all the forms of actual sugar? Are they different? Is it safer/better to eat certain ones? Well-meaning friends and relatives often say, "But, this is made with a 'special' sugar that has vitamins and minerals! It is good for you." Do you know what to tell them? No? Well, then read on.
The History Of Diets And Dieting Part II
The History Of Diets And Dieting Part III
We've been talking about diets and dieting. Dieting for weight loss has really only been a potential issue for the average person in the last few hundred years because prior to that, most people's problem was getting enough food, not getting too much. But by the mid 1800s obesity was becoming a problem for some people.
The History Of Diets And Dieting Part I
With this article, I'm starting a series of columns that look at the history of diets and dieting – the plans and the personalities behind the plans. We are all so used to the idea of diets, that it is hard to believe there was ever a time when the "D word" wasn't on everyone's lips from morning to night.
Fat Is One Kind Of Lipid, But There Are Others
As we have seen in a previous article, fats and oils are members of a category of substances known as lipids. Other lipids include the compounds known as waxes, phospholipids, and steroids. Last time, we spoke about waxes, and in this article, we'll discuss the other important lipids. Additionally, I'll have some more things to say about cholesterol, since cholesterol is one of these other lipids.

Thousands of fans and gawkers poured into Marlins Park in Little Havana this morning for FanFest, checking out the team's new digs. If you were one of them, we'd like to hear what you thought. Give us your review. Did you like the Home Run Sculpture or find it hideous? What about the overall color scheme? Were the seats to your liking? What was your impression in general? Here's your chance....

Ive offered Samson $1 million to live here. no joke.
I was not there but can seee this is a first class venue. BEAUTIFUL. nOW HOW DO WE PUT A WINNING TEAM IN IT? FIRST GET THE OWNER OUT. hE HAS THE 2ND WORST TEAM IN MLB, WENT BANKRUPT WITH MONTREAl and get a new stadium for the looser. QUESTION FOR YOU: WAS THIS WORTH THE LAYOFF OF TEACHERS, POLICE AAND FIREFIGHTERS AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE INFASTRUCTURE OF MIAMI? a BROKE CITY, NEEDS MONEY, POOR OWNERSHIP, ECT. tHIS STASDIUM, WHICH THEY CAN NOT FIND A SPONSOR TO HANG THEIR NAME ON THE BUILDING IS A LOOSING AFFAIR. (FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC) THIS PLACE WON'T LOOK SO GOOD IN AUGUST WHEN THERE ARE 3,000 FANS IN IT.
Do not like the green walls surrounding the field
Worth EVERY penny douche....
muy lindo, un stadium de primera
Felicidadez Marlins
would be much nicer if we didn't have to pay for it.
Great day at fan fest. A number of players out signing autographs, Carlos Zambrano seemed very nice. The stadium is beautiful, truly unique with all the splashes of color. Very Miami. The home run structure looks very cool but reserving final judgement till Giancarlo Stanton sets it in action.
SANBAR you're a joykiller!!! There isn't a bad seat in the house at least not in the lower bowl.
Overall looks great. The batters eye is too light of a shade of green. I bet they change that quickly, probably before the home opener.
Sightlines are terrible, with huge blind spots in the outfield corners even from the most expensive lower-deck seats. How could anybody not notice that?
SANBAR: You are beyond clueless! You sit here today questioning how this team is going to field a winner?!? Are you aware that this team is going into the 2012 season with a $100M payroll and improving players? Oh, and the laying off of teachers and police have nothing to do with the financing of the stadium! Teacher and police salaries are not paid by tourism taxes and that's by law!!! One has nothing to do with the other, but in your little feeble mind that's all you can corrolate together!
DAVE: Please explain to me how YOU "paid" for this?!?! Did you stay in a hotel in Miami-Dade County? Did you rent a car in Miami-Dade County? If you did, then you paid a share. If you didn't, then not a dime from your taxes went to it! Get the facts, buddy!
Michael A.R., you are right and Sanbar's wrong about teacher and police layoffs and salaries, but even though local people didn't pay much of the tax money that was used to finance the stadium, the money was ours. We weren't given a chance to vote on using it for the stadium, specifically because of the concern that we would vote against that. Although Sanbar is grossly under-informed on some details, his lingering anger over the deception involved is legitimate and very widely shared.
Went to the fan fest today. Nice little stadium. 9.50 burgers and 10.00 pizza. Agree with witz, there were some blind spots. Nice view of the skyline from the promenade, nice breeze today. That Home Run piece of art (??) is really huge. Only when you get up close you realize how big (and horrendous) that thing is. I didn't park in the garage area, which means that if you are not a season-ticket holder, you are in for trouble. I had to resort to the old days of Orange Bowl and find a spot in the neighborhood close by. By the way, that surrounding area is scarier than ever.
I just got back from Fan Fest....230 mile drive...it's definately a WOW! I got one autograph...Omar Infante. Wanted more but the lines were way too long. A vast improvement with the hot dogs....Had a great time.
WAY better than I thought...REALITY is better than the fiction I hear above...it WILL bea HUGE success !!!!
All the new ballparks have the sightlines blocked in the outfield corners. It doesn't really matter since 99% of the action is in the infield. Better than staring straight stat the left fielder when sitting down the line at Sun Life.
Came down from WPB and had a great time today at Fan Fest. Traffic wasn't bad at all. Took just 15 minutes longer than the old football dump. The stadium is beautiful and the Home Run display is certainly colorful. Looking forward using my 20 game pack.
Wish I could have seen it but here in AZ as a fish fan. Thanks for the descriptions and prices/quality of food etc....Cool to see Palm Beach and Broward fans still coming out certainly all deserve a nice ballpark to watch a game.
The nachos are horrible. They should have a suggestion box.
I love baseball but, personally, it would hurt my pride and my soul deeply if I spend 1 single penny with the Loria clan, I dislike them immensely, I dislike what they did, how they got the stadium on the backbone of a city in financial trouble by pushing around a bunch of inept very low end politicians of very low moral fiber. However low the bar or morality was set by the politicians on this one, it was surpassed greatly by the lowest of the low morals of Marlins ownership on all aspects and particularly on how they lied and defrauded the citizens to stick it to a city and its people with a bill for $2.4 billion dollars after all financing is calculated for that stadium. It is certainly a debt that Miami and its citizens will be stuck with for generations to come before it is paid while the carpetbagging millionaire Marlin owners from Palm Beach go slumming to Miami and collect their winnings.
To make matters worse, they insist on using that horrific PR man, that quack duck voiced pitchman Samson as the face and voice of the organization (nepotism, yes, I know but still...). When I hear his voice on the radio or TV I change stations.
And after all is said and done, people will NOT go there in sufficient numbers after the newness of the park wears off. There is not enough money in Miami to support such an enterprise for so many games per season and the people of counties to the North have been evicted and excluded by the Marlins because where the stadium was built ... IT IS A HORRIBLE LOCATION TO GET TO AND PARKING WILL BE A PROBLEM. If you do not believe it, try going there now, any day from Monday - Friday at about the time you would go to a game.
Concerning the hat Logo. Love the new Logo but the Logo size is way too big. Seems gheto to me. They should offer a hat Logo a bit smaller, classier. Then i can buy one.
Marlins designed the hat with that in mind... marketing to the ghetto thugs...who else wears a baseball cap as everyday/prison/formal wear...
i thought it was amazzing! its going to take some getting used to but i loved it. i cannot wait for the 1st game, april 2nd
I was at the fanfest. The park is great, a real baseball park. I sat in different areas and the view is OK. Today I purchased tickets for the second Marlins-Yankees game and I was also able to purchase parking. I simulated purchasing tickets for Marlins-Astros game and parking spaces were available. Would this be an index that not too many people have bought season tickets? The only detail that I did not like was the horrible home run sculpture. I think it might be a distraction for hitters
Do you think Samson would actually lie,stretch the truth,omit facts or fib about the true amount of actual season tickets sold ???? Really? Who woulda thought?
Samson's wife has said he lies in his sleep
Hey Sanbar, Teachers and Police officers would be getting the cuts with or without the ballpark. GET OVER IT!! BTW maybe you should have paid attention in class a little more because you KEEP MISSPELLING L-O-S-E-R!!
Ballpark is absolutely beautiful and is probably one of the nicest ballparks in all of baseball today. Million times better than playing in that football stadium where they win Marlins Championships!!
Attended Fan Fest...Turned off 12 Ave on to 7 Street and traffic came to a halt. Got to the first garage and sign said "LOT FULL", second garage..."LOT FULL". I looked at the side streets to park and could only think of "SOUTH BEACH TOW" TV show. I ended up at the justice center and walked across the 12 Ave bridge like I used to do for football games. I love the ballpark especially the standing room area around the whole perimeter. But concessions!!!! $3.50 for a 12oz soda (filled with ice) and $9.00 for cold, dry chicken strips. I guess I will be filling up at the Wendy's across the street.
My company worked on the project for over a year and we still have yet to get paid all of our monies. we are not even close to getting paid what we are owed. This whole stadium was built on lies and coruption. The whole Minority Status and minority percentage is BS and they know it.
