I still think it would be good to have a generic 18 holes of par 3 because any time we play a course that isn't on there, I'm going to use another course. Then, that will mess up that course's stats. Maybe there is a "note" section on the generic one where people can add a name. I really like how you can subtract a stroke, but it's hard to describe how to do it. Hopefully, people figure it out.
Thanks Dave!!
I'm psyched that you like Discasaurus, and I really appreciate all the feedback. Accurate course info is one of the biggest challenges for us. I think of them like a huge garden. Most things doesn't require much maintenance, but the whole system is constantly growing and changing. My small team doesn't have the local awareness that our users do so in the future, it might make sense to crowdsource the creation/updates so that you (the user) can help improve the app directly. In software development this is powerful stuff, but it'd difficult to execute well (e.g. dgcoursereview).
When it comes to supporting users in-the-moment, your idea could fit the bill. This is one of those things that we need to get right the first time so this definitely warrants some discussions within the Discasaurus team about options and inter-dependencies.
I hope folks continue to spread the word and give feedback like you @Atrain, and I look forward to seeing some scores pop up on the Discasaurus website this weekend. Have great rounds this week everyone!
I've paid for Apps that aren't this good! Love the Discasaurus website!
Lake Mendocino in Ukiah, CA. has two courses, North (9 holes, 1 set of tees, long and short pins), and South which you have already.
Thank you very much!
Hey I have an idea for a new app, but do not know how to go about it.
My wife has had 3 kids, and you know the time where things are just a little off and they think, it's time for a pregnancy test! So why not an App where they can pee on their IPHONE to find out? I think you should make this app, but only for IPHONE as I dont think peeing on Androids would be right!
Discasaurus is now available for Android: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.es3.discasaurus

Information for parents of Rural Scholars.
Why send your child to college? When you consider the benefits of a college education over the course of a lifetime in the form of reduced risk of unemployment and greater earnings, it's clear that a college education is more important than ever.
As a parent, you can be your child's #1 coach and advocate on the road to college. Important steps you can take include asking teachers and counselors at school about how to help your child enroll in the classes he or she will need for college admission and looking at options for financial assistance early on. One advantage of the Rural Scholars Program is that in addition to offering academic support from seventh grade through college, the program offers a limited number of full-tuition scholarships to Kent State's Columbiana campuses to scholars to who successfully complete the program. This scholarship will only be available to Rural Scholars – a much smaller pool of applications than that of most grants and scholarships.
The Rural Scholars Program will eventually offer a variety of resources for parents of students in our program. If you would like your child to participate, contact your school guidance counselor or contact us to find out more about the competitive admission process for rising seventh graders.
Not a Rural Scholars Parent? You can still do a lot to help your child get on track for college. The following websites and pdf files offer some useful planning advice and checklists.

Montgomery County has selected Bethesda-based developer StonebridgeCarras to build the new 2nd District Police Station in downtown Bethesda, and in exchange it will be able to redevelop the old one.
This marks the second attempt to replace the current police station at 7359 Wisconsin Ave., which was built in 1961 and needs nearly $200,000 in repairs, according to the county's Office of Planning and Development.
Originally a new station was planned for the corner of Cordell and Wisconsin avenues, to be built by Chevy Chase developer JBG Cos., but that deal fell through in November 2012. JBG backed out of the land swap after it failed to obtain all the land it needed.
The county issued a new Request for Qualifications and Developments Proposals earlier this year to kickstart the process again.
The new police station is slated for 4823 Rugby Ave., near Del Ray Avenue.
Before the deal can be finalized, the County Council has to approve disposing of the current Wisconsin Avenue property, said Greg Ossont, the Department of General Services's deputy director.
First, County Executive Isiah Leggett will declare the county has no further need of the parcel, which will be printed in the county registry, he said. Then there will be a comment period and possibly a public hearing.
"Then the council will approve that property disposition. We can't move forward until they approve of the disposition," Ossont said, adding he does not anticipate any problems.
The county has budgeted $9.25 million for the new 24-hour police station, according to county documents, but that may change as the project is finalized, Ossont said.
The new facility must have secured parking, a detention area and special entrances for transporting those in custody, he said.
"There are a lot of security concerns. It's also a public facility so it has to have good access from the street," Ossont said.
Once StonebrideCarras has designed and built a new police station in the Central Business District, "we will move in and then we will turn over the existing building," he said.
Doug Firstenberg, a principal with Stonebridge/Carras, said the company has not yet decided what it will build on the Wisconsin Avenue site.
"We've looked at hotel, we've looked at residential, we've looked at office space," Firstenberg said. "It's just a great corner. But we have to build the station first."
If all the paperwork is done by the end of this year, then design and pre-construction can take place in 2014 and the project can be finished by the end of 2015, Firstenberg said.
StonebridgeCarras has several other projects in the works in Bethesda, including a mixed-use project at 8300 Wisconsin Ave. that will have a 50,000-square-foot Harris Teeter grocery store and 359 apartments above.
The developer is also turning the former parking lot on Bethesda Avenue, known as Lot 31, into two mixed-used buildings — The Darcy and The Flats. The Darcy is a nine-story luxury building with 88 condos, and the Flats will have 162 rental apartments; both are expected to be completed midway through 2014.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Ancient Incas' best kept secret.
21 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Leione on Jul 16, 2014
Maca root is truly a superfood. 100 grams of it contain a whopping 475% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, 300% of copper, 85% of iron, 57% of pota ssium and vitamin B6, 39% of manganese, 29% of dietary fiber, protein, and niacin, 25% of calcium, 21% of riboflavin, as well as essential amino acids and phytosterols. Such a unique composition makes maca root a powerful endocrine system regulator, adaptogen, stress relieving and immune system boosting agent. No surprise it was revered by the ancient Incas. Maca root is great for treating hormone imbalances, hypothyroidism, low energy levels, anemia, menopause and menstrual disorders, osteoporosis, arthritis, rheumatism, stress, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, leukemia, tuberculosis, stomach cancer, infertility, and even HIV/AIDS. Maca root contains unique alkaloids that stimulate the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to better balance the entire endocrine system, boost and strengthen the immune system, increase energy levels, relieve the symptoms of stress and depression, help maintain healthy bones, joints, teeth, and even reduce the risk of cancer. But maca root is a very powerful product and can cause side effects in some individuals, so it should be taken in moderation. It is a fiber-rich vegetable composed of 25% fibers (oligosaccahrides, cellulose, lignins) and contains goitrogens (goitrogenic glycosides, or glucosinolates), which have some anti-nutritive effects and can cause stomach cramps, indigestion, and thyroid and hormonal issues in people with hormone-sensitive conditions, such as breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. These goitrogens are neutralized by cooking (in Peru it's always cooked) or starch gelatinization, which makes maca root powder a slightly concentrated and easily digestible product. Starch gelatinization is a simple process that involves heating starches in the presence of water, with the aim of gelatinizing the starches. Gelatinization of maca powder involves gentle heat combined with water, which opens up the starch molecules, softens cellulose and disperses many of the soluble fibers. In addition to making maca's alkaloids more bioavailable, it also deactivates myrosinase enzyme, making it so the goitrogens in maca are not metabolized. So, if you're prone to indigestion and stomach cramps, it's best to try the gelatinized version of this product. This organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free raw maca powder really works for me: since I started taking a teaspoon of this product daily, I haven't noticed any side effects, and it makes me more active and energetic. It has a slightly bitter taste, but goes well with yogurt, smoothies, shakes, cereal, granola, tea, coffee, chocolate, and great in cookies, pancakes, and muffins. Maca's flavor blends well with different fruits, berries, nuts, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. I would definitely recommend it. It's worth trying.

I got pregnant after 18 months of infertility due to pcos using vitex and maca from navitus naturals the fist month. I feel that these products helped even though all the thanks is to God! I used the Macau in yogurt and oatmeal. The taste is tolerable.

My hormones were completely wrecked! Adrenal/cortisol imbalance, hypothyroidism, and after 4 years my hot flashes had come back! - I've taken this stuff for only 3 weeks now and can tell an absolutely DRAMATIC difference in the way I feel. I'm starting to feel great again and the hot flashes have diminished by about 90%. I can't wait to get to the endocrinologist to see my bloodwork test results. I expect I'll be taking this product the rest of my life. I'm so thankful I've found it!
product is okay, will never use iHerb again

I recently ordered a product from iHerb and received the wrong item. They absolutely REFUSE to send me a return label and have been completely UNhelpful in resolving the issue. It's too bad because I ahve been a long time customer (years) but because of the lack of response on taking care of their mistake, I will not take the risk of ordering from them again because if you need to return something, you won't be able to....
Definitely worth buying!

Maca is an adaptogen that is well known to increase libido for both men/women without affecting hormones. It helps to increase sperm count and motility, improve immunity, nutrient dense (rich in amino acid, phytonutrients, healthy fats, vitamin and minerals), nourishes the endocrine system, balances the hormones relieve exhausted adrenal glands which help to handle stress, increase energy levels, improve physical endurance and elevates our mood. This product is organic (no pesticides), kosher, vegan and raw (means that vitamins and enzymes are not destroyed by heat). Maca has a sweet and slight root taste. I consider it pleasant tasting. It's a good price for 454g of maca. Personally, I find that the libido boost and energy boost is quite observant. This is a good way to take maca as well as compared to those capsules of 500mg or tablets of 1000mg (seriously low in dosage). I like to mix with chocolate based blend like Amazing Gras s Chocolate to drink. My only complaint is that the zip lock tears off easily so you will require a container unless the powder will cake.

The Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit: Good for Nothing
You know those vacation spots where everything beckons: places to go, people to meet, things to keep you busy morning, noon and night?
Yeah, I hate those places.
I admit it. I'm a vacation vegetable. I want to do nothing. No lists to check off, no schedules to follow, no deadlines to meet, no timetables to reference, no guilt about it. Me, I like it where there's a drink on this side of me, the pool on that side of me, and the sun, preferably a tropical one, overhead.
So when I found myself poolside at the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, whose most pressing demand was that I kick back on a lounge chair and tip back the margaritas, Nirvana was achieved.
Considered a crowning jewel of the Riviera Nayarit, a sparkly stretch of Mexican coastline stretching 200 miles from San Blas south to the town of Nuevo Vallarta, the Grand Velas sits prettily on Banderas Bay, with the emerald-mountain majesty of the Sierra Madre rising up into the deep, tropical skies for a backdrop.
You know you chose the right resort when the lobby alone gobsmacks you. The Grand Velas constructed theirs like a Mayan hut ... if Mayan huts were the size of imperial concert halls, soared four stories and had inset fountains for centerpieces.
I stood there gaping like a landed fish for about five minutes. Because the open lobby shoots straight through to the equally open shorefront courtyard and its manicured gardens, whispers of flowers and the Pacific waft on every breeze. This is a hotel whose interior vastness gives the mind-bending impression of being bigger on the inside than on the outside.
I always considered hotels something of a bland necessity. I spend far more time outside one than in. A hotel room is a holding cell for my luggage and sometimes a place to hide the occasional hangover from daylight.
At the Grand Velas, I could hide not only my hangover but those of several of my friends. My room was bigger than my apartment. (OK, as I live in New York, this isn't hard to pull off, but you get the idea.)
Palatial rooms? Check.
As I inhaled the Pacific breezes and gentle scents of bougainvillea and lilies, I got as close as one does to a lung orgasm. This was my first "all-inclusive" hotel experience, but it wasn't until I was up to my ears in it that I realized what that meant. There is actually no compelling reason to leave the property. Everything you need is there, available at your discretion.
Like the whopping 12 kinds of margaritas some creative bartenders in the Lobby Bar can whip up. It was a virtual rainbow of unlikely ingredients -- who knew an avocado makes for a great margarita?
I've always been a tequila man, and if there was one challenge I was to meet, it was getting through all 12 libations, from the pungent chili pepper concoction to a tart tamarind entry. The hibiscus is tops in my book, but my hat was off to the hotel's signature Huitlacoche Margarita, made with Mexican corn truffles that imbue a rich, earthy flavor.
The same spirit runs through the hotel's other restaurants, Piaf and Lucca, whose respective and authoritative (French and Italian, AAA four-diamond) cuisines bring to the palate all the savory sensations of Europe.
The chefs are exactingly faithful to their trades; there was no watering-down or sugaring-up of foods I find in some restaurants to make this or that dish more acceptable to American palates. At Piaf, I was in France. In Lucca, I was in Italy. The presentation was astounding. Dishes are so beautifully prepared they reach the level of aesthetics where you don't want to eat them because you'll spoil the tableau. Tableaus taste great, by the way.
Of course, I did not fly all the way to Mexico to end up in Europe (no offense). For a taste of our next-door neighbor, Azul -- a poolside paradise rife with birdsong and open architecture that lets natural light and ocean zephyrs wash over you in equal measure -- faithfully serves up Mexico's rich culinary culture. The ceviche de Colima had me coming back for seconds. And thirds. And fourths.

Preview | RecapRonoh splashes his way to steeplechase title, Ingram blazes to 400 win in Lynchburg
Sunday, April 03, 2011JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 3, 2011) - For the second time this outdoor season, Ben Ronoh (Sotik, Kenya) topped the list of ETSU athletes in the final standings as he took first place in the steeplechase at the Liberty Invitational in Lynchburg, Va., while Jasmine Ingram (Frederick, Md.) flew past the competition in the 400-meter dash.
Ronoh, who won the steeplechase in March at the 49er Classic in Charlotte, clocked in at 9:48.77, about eight seconds ahead of Marietta's Terrance Wallace. Ronoh also took second in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 15:07.51. Joining the Kenyan among the top distance performers, Sean Duffy (Jonesborough, Tenn.) took sixth in the steeplechase at 10:16.63 and eighth in the 5,000 at 16:01.33.
After a conference-best mark in the 100-meter dash at the 49er Classic, Ifrish Alberg (Paramaribo, Suriname) was as good as advertised in Lynchburg, posting another top-ten A-Sun time to win the 100 in 10.80. Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) finished third in the 110-meter hurdles in 14.98, a top-ten conference time, while both Tim O'Dell (Palm Coast, Fla.) and Desmond Pierce (Morristown, Tenn.) placed eighth in their respective events. O'Dell ran 49.23 in the 400-meter while Pierce finished the 800-meter in 1:57.71.
Alberg and James teamed up with Quentin Greenlee (Morristown, Tenn.) and Robert Purcell (Raeford, N.C.) in the 4x400-meter relay, finishing third in 42.06.
Two athletes posted promising marks and one new record in the men's field events, as Matt Baum (Middletown, Md.) shattered his old school and conference javelin mark by a whole ten feet, taking third with a throw of 178-11 (54.54m). Jason Johnson (Springfield, Pa.) finally posted a legal mark in the triple jump, a fifth-place leap of 44-05.25 (13.54m).
On the women's side, while Ingram's winning time of 55.12 in the 400 - her second A-Sun top-five time of the season - topped the heap, Hannah Bowers (Jonesborough, Tenn.) finished sixth in 57.37. In the 100-meter dash, Emani Harrison (Columbia, S.C.) one-upped last week's finish in her hometown, taking sixth at Liberty in 12.62. Pooling their assets, the trio of Ingram, Bowers and Harrison joined Emma Bowers (Jonesborough, Tenn.) for a runner-up showing in the 4x100-meter relay, carding a time of 47.31.
In distance, Chelsea Clark (Fairmont, W. Va.) ran a respectable 1,500-meter time, finishing seventh in 4:56.62.
Buccaneer women's athletes scored in both horizontal events, as Bethany Lender (Altonna, Pa.) leapt above and beyond in the triple jump for a fourth-place 38-04.00 (11.68m) and Lexie Burley (Johnson City, Tenn.) made it into the top ten at 36-03.00 (11.05m). Among a three-way tie for eighth in the long jump, Kelly Monteleone (Verona, Pa.) leapt 16-08.00 (5.08m).
Like the men's team, two women's athletes featured in the field strength events, as Jasmine Foster's (Johnson City, Tenn.) 42-11.50 (13.09m) effort in the shot put landed her in fourth place and Lili Allison (Oxford, Ala.) heaved a 155-11.00 (47.53m) hammer throw, good for eighth in the finals.
Assistant Coach Eli Sunquist said the Bucs need the week off before conference, as the Sea Ray Relays in Knoxville were rescheduled to the same week as the A-Sun Championships in Jacksonville, Fla. "Everything is in place to have a great conference meet," said Sunquist, "we just need to execute when it comes time to step up to the line."
Sunquist also said the Bucs look forward to the warm weather at the early conference meet, which happens April 14 and 15. In overall points, ETSU sits in second place, comfortably ahead of Campbell by 102, behind A-Sun frontrunner Kennesaw State by 41.

Agrium shareholders reelect board members following Jana dissent
1:58 PM MDT | April 9, 2013 | Lindsay Frost
After delaying its annual shareholders meeting and a back-and-forth battle for director control with hedge fund Jana Partners (New York), Agrium announced today that its shareholders have reelected all twelve of the company's incumbent board directors. Jana Partners, a shareholder in the company, had announced its opposition to the company's current strategy in October 2012, urging them to split off its retail segment and nominated five of its own members to Agrium's board of directors.

Kenny Dement, a former two-term county commissioner and a fixture of St. Mary's County adult softball, died Wednesday at the age of 78.
Born and raised in Callaway, Dement worked for the St. Mary's County public schools for 20 years as a bus driver instructor. After two previous campaigns for county commissioner, he was elected as a Republican in 2002. He served for two terms, ending in 2010. He wife of more than 50 years, Shirley, died in April 2009.
St. Mary's County government ordered Wednesday that all county flags lowered for five business days effective in remembrance of Dement.
"He was a good guy. He wouldn't do anything to hurt anybody," said Thomas A. Mattingly Sr., former commissioner who served on the board with Dement. "I enjoyed working with him."
"I think the legacy he'll leave ... is he was one of the three votes to institute senior property tax relief," said Commissioner Larry Jarboe (R), who also served with Dement. "Without his vote we wouldn't have the senior property tax [cap] the county has."
Dement "was a loyal servant to the people of St. Mary's County," said Commission President Jack Russell (D) in a statement. "I enjoyed working with him and his presence will truly be missed."
Dement served as the president of the St. Mary's County Slow Pitch Softball League for more than 30 years and was one of the founders of the St. Mary's County Softball Hall of Fame, located at the Chancellor's Run Regional Park in Great Mills.

2. I would say you are twisting my words...but...since your just making up arguments out of thin air I think I'll pass on repeating myself again. What's the phrase "you don't throw the baby out with the bathw water". That describes the theory on Ireland pretty well.
3. Your right. There are signnificantly more than 10 good players in every draft. However, Von Miller, your example, is an elite special player. He makes a good player look bad. Those players you draft and adapt your scheme to fit them.
4. You evaluate players using the protocols and scales handed down by the person with final say. You apply your bosses policies. That's how it works. What I have seen out of him that makes me think he will build a winning roster are Ryan Tannehill, Jonathan Martin, Tyler Thigpen, 5 picks in the first 3 rounds, and 40+ million to spend in a year when Jennings and Wallace will hit the open market.
Also, did you notice your wiki posting used the word "typically" and "normally"? Anyone who followed the Dolphins knows that Miami's situation was not typical or normal from a GM standpoint. Typically and normally the GM, as you put it "controls player transactions and bears the primary responsibility on behalf of the team during contract discussions with players. The general manager is also normally the person who hires and fires the coaching staff, including the head coach". Ireland did neither of those things. That changed one year ago when Philbin became head coach. That is when the clock began to run on Ireland.
Thank you for the quotes from Wiki.
LOL people are too much on this site... talk about battered wife syndrome.
Folks we just had our FOURTH straight losing season with no end in site and we are still defending the GM?

Gourmet Dessert Sauce & Toppings
The Best Sauce & Topping Products To Make Your Good Desserts Taste Great
We love the gourmet dessert sauce category because it epitomizes the magic of specialty foods—how they can transform good dishes into the great ones with no more effort than opening a jar. You don't even have to pre-plan: if you keep your pantry stocked with a jar of gourmet dessert sauce, you'll always have the components of a great dessert. (Part of the trick: Add a great dessert sauce to a plain pie, pound cake, cheese cake, brownie, pudding, etc. As long as the base product is good, a great sauce or topping will make it seem that much better.)
If there's a great dessert sauce you want to be sure we don't overlook, click on the Contact Us link on this page to tell us about it. It if isn't something we'll be able to find easily, be sure to give us the contact information, URL, etc.

Breast engorgement
If you do not see our video content, you need to install an updated Flash Player.
The latest Flash Player is available for download @ adobe.com.
It's normal during the first week after a baby is born for a mother's breast to become heavy, and tender, and full as the milk is coming in. And even before that as the blood flow is expanding and the lymph flow is expanding to allow the milk to come in. But sometimes that progresses to something we call engorgement. I'm Dr. Alan Greene and I want to talk briefly about engorgement. What causes it, how you can prevent it, and what to do if engorgement does happen.
We call it engorgement if the pain becomes really severe because the milk is so full in the breasts that it squeezes shut some of the blood and lymph vessels. So causes swelling in the tissues. It's not just too much milk. It's real swelling of the breasts. And it can be quite painful and make nursing kind of difficult.
Probably the best way to prevent engorgement is frequent, early feeding. If you feed as often as the baby wants to, and at least every 2 to 3 hours when the baby is awake during the day, and no longer than 4 or 5 hours one stretch at night during that first week will often prevent engorgement. Engorgement is less common, too, if you don't do supplemental feedings.
But even if you do everything perfectly, some women will still become engorged. It's not a guarantee. If you do and don't do anything, the engorgement will likely last for 7 to 10 days. But if you take steps to treat the engorgement, usually it will be gone within maybe 24 to 48 hours, at least the worst part of it.
So what does treating engorgement mean? It's a couple of very simple steps. The first one is really to try to empty the breasts completely. Again, going back to frequent feeding and to encourage the baby to nurse to finish the first breast first. Don't try to switch breasts in between, but start and let them empty as much as they can. And then only after they come off it their timing, try the other breast. Then start with the opposite one next time.
Then you can do a lot with cool and warm compresses. Doing a cool compress in between nursing can help reduce the swelling and reduce the tenderness. And then a warm compress you want to switch to in the 10 to 15 minutes before nursing to help encourage let down and help the breast drain more fully. You can actually get compresses that are made for this purpose that you can warm or you can cool. And they can fit inside a nursing bra.
Another thing that can be very helpful are cabbage leaves. There have been a few studies suggesting this and a lot of personal experience people have had just taking a cabbage leaf out of the refrigerator and wearing it as a compress. There seems to something in there that does help. Whatever you do, you may also want some pain relief, something like acetaminophen. And if that's necessary don't hesitate if that's something that's going to keep you nursing because breast milk is the very best thing for kids.

Martin Hall has been involved in WAC since the conference in Southampton in 1986 that led directly to the formation of the World Archaeological Congress.
At the time Martin was writing about the relationship between politics and archaeology, with particular reference to the way in which a racially biased history and archaeology was being used to justify white dominance in apartheid South Africa (for example, see Martin Hall, "The burden of tribalism: the social context of southern African Iron Age Studies", American Antiquity 49(3):455-467, 1984). As a South African Martin was affected by academic boycott movement and like 25 other archaeologists in that country, he was not permitted to attend the Southampton conference.
The formation of WAC had a significant effect on raising awareness of the politics of archaeology within South Africa, and encouraged a small group of "intellectual activists" within the country. When Mandela was released in early 1990, South African archaeologists were able to participate in WAC meetings as observers, and when the first democratic elections were held in 1994, the ban on South African participation was formally rescinded. This - fortuitously - coincided with the third WAC Congress in New Delhi, and so it was natural that Bassey Andah led the proposal that the fourth WAC Congress should be held in South Africa. Martin was appointed Academic Secretary and, at the 1999 Cape Town Congress, was made President. In the role of President, Martin's focus was to try and align WAC with a rather different world from the one in which it was born.
At the Fifth Congress in Washington in mid-2003, participants from many parts of the world came together to express concern about the new ligaments of power, dominance and cultural imperialism. Their contribution demonstrated that alignments between marginalized and oppositional voices are very powerful in the international forum of practicing archaeologists.

Incognito™ Kid-Positioning Seat - Dark Gray
Traditional belt-positioning booster seats are designed for a different time in a child's life. A time where bright colors, heavy padding, and personal cup holders make riding in them fun. Great when your child is 5 years old – not so much when they're 8!
Children grow at different rates, and at different ages. While one 9-year-old may be well within the Adult Seating Safety Zone * , another 9-, 10-, or even 11-year-old may not. Therein lies the car seat challenge – at least as far as your child is concerned.
Even though you know what's best for your child in terms of vehicle safety, your child likely won't agree…especially if their friends are past the point of riding in boosters. You want your kids to be safe – every parent does.
The Safety 1st Incognito™ is a NEW Kid-Positioning Seat. Designed to prevent slouching, it is more comfortable for your child to ride on. Most importantly, it keeps the seat belt positioned where it should be.
Offered in a variety of colors to match most car interiors, the Incognito Kid-Positioning seat blends into your vehicle's seat and helps eliminate kids' worries about what their friends think about them still riding in booster seats. Most importantly, it delivers peace of mind for parents who want their child to be safe – no matter their age!
- For kids 60-120 pounds & up to 60" in height
- Prevents slouching and ensures proper seat belt positioning
- Gives a safer and more comfortable ride, without the look of a traditional booster car seat.
- Offered in 4 colors designed to match most vehicle interiors
*Adult Seating Safety Zone: To reach this zone, a child must be big enough to use the car's seat belt without slouching, with their back against the vehicle's seat back, with their knees bent over the edge of the seat, and with their feet flat on the floor. The lap belt should rest low, on top of the thighs, and the shoulder belt should lie comfortably across the middle of the chest.
Booster Height Range: 47"-60"
Booster Weight Range: 60-120 lbs

History is the teacher. Click the links.
In 2007, inmate Craig Burdine died at the Sandusky County jail after being repeatedly electroshocked by guards, deputies and Fremont police officers using Tasers.
In early 2011, a 26-year-old sleeping man, Bryan Jones, was killed by Sandusky County deputies who used high-velocity ammunition in high-capacity weapons they weren't even authorized to carry that tore off his arm when they killed him. BCI, the state crime lab, suggested he committed suicide by cop but didn't explain how a sleeping man could do that.
In early 2012, a schizophrenic inmate at the Sandusky County jail denied her medications was allegedly sexually exploited for hours by jackboot guards who gratified themselves taking advantage of her and were later paid $5,000 each in agreements drawn up by the county prosecutor's office that included secrecy provisions apparently designed to protect others.
Currently, Sandusky County judges Barabara Ansted and John Dewey, court administrator Brock Kimmet, county prosecutor Tom Stierwalt, coroner John Wukie, sheriff Kyle Overmyer, detective Sean O'Connell, special prosecutor and defense counsel for the county Dean Henry and BCI all have seemingly contributed to a credibility gap that exists with regard to the county's multiple investigations of the killing of 19-year-old Jacob Limberios on March 2, 2012.
History is the teacher and given the pattern — of just the known abuses — public officials from Sandusky County likely should sharpen their rhetoric because another family will be victimized soon by this incompetence and the refusal to acknowledge or address it.
Today, tomorrow, next week or next month, it will happen this year.
Another family will call out.
Another family's legitimate concerns will be ignored, for as long as it takes county officials to craft a legal position that suggests plausibility where none exists, or for as long as it takes and with whatever it takes to wear down that family and quiet their protests.
Every public office — from BCI to the AG's office, the Ohio Supreme Court to the U.S. Attorney for Ohio, the FBI, the Justice Department, and every public agency in between — that looks away from the problem is part of the problem.

Putnam County—On Friday, March 8, 2013, the Putnam County Department of Child Services contacted the Putnamville Post of the Indiana State Police concerning child molesting allegations against a Cloverdale man. State police detectives immediately began an investigation which ultimately led to the arrest of the suspect during the early morning hours of March 9.
Arrested: Richard W. Stuart, age 21, of Cloverdale, Indiana
Charges: (3) counts of Child Molesting, Class A felony
Incarcerated in the Putnam County Jail with no bond
During the investigation, state police detectives were able to determine that over the last approximately six months at a residence in rural Putnam County, Stuart is alleged to have engaged in various sex acts with a five year-old female acquaintance.
The case was investigated by ISP Detectives First Sergeant Jeff Hearon and Detective John Goldner, ISP Crime Scene Investigator Sergeant Jim Cody, and the Putnam County Department of Child Services.
Under the law, criminal charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

"John Chamberlain: Choices"
Guggenheim Museum,
New York
This much-anticipated survey of John Chamberlain's work, the first in a U.S. museum since 1986, unexpectedly became a memorial show when the giant of postwar American art died in December, at 84. Nearly 100 pieces will be on view, including dozens of his signature crumpled-metal sculptures made using salvaged automobile fenders, hoods, and roofs, as well as examples of his diversions into painting, photography, and sculpting with foam, resin, and foil. Blending an Abstract Expressionist bravado, a Minimalist affinity for industrially fabricated materials, and Pop references to this country's beloved car culture, Chamberlain's work is about as quintessentially American as it gets.

Is it possible to overcome of the feeling 'worthless' for you haven't been loved enough ever?
Lots of people feel alone and worthless for they are alone and not loved enough.but what if you are aware of the answer which is 'this is not true.you are precious', can you get over this feeling by the help of your consciousness?
Eric Hazelle
Dec 21 2012: A true and mature love is outward, not inward centered. Love others, and you will become a person of worth to them. (OK, easily said, hard to do. Those who have never experienced love, such as abused and neglected children, will probably have a difficult time learning to love others.)
- +1
Dec 21 2012: Quite agree with you Eric. "Love others, and you will become a person of worth to them." (and then to yourself).
Some have the notion that we first have to love ourself in order to love others. But I think we are born with all inclinations to love ourselves first. We have to be taught (forced) to share, think of others and that is what 'being raised' is all about.
When anyone is depressed or sad, the last impulse is to regard others, while that is the best road to recovery.Dec 18 2012: If you don't feel loved enough , love more ! :)
Dec 20 2012: ı do so.that's what ı learned from my experience of not being loved enough..
Dec 20 2012: ' love more ' means: don't expect anything in return.
I know , it's almost impossible for us humans, but just try, do the best you can, you'll see what happens :)
Rob Cork
Dec 17 2012: Trump feelings with choice. Choose to believe God loves you and that you are unique in His sight. Pray to that One who loves you that He will lead you to where you can be loved and appreciated. Then go where you can be loved. It maybe closer than you realize - be open to receive.

Lejan .
Dec 16 2012: Hello Gülçin,
- +1
a conscious awareness of ones 'personal preciousness' may not always be enough of an answer to those who feel 'worthless' due to a lack of 'external' love. Especially if the same conscious awareness realizes, that this 'personal preciousness' becomes inflationary by the simple fact, that it applies to anybody as well.
The usual understanding of 'preciousness' is related to scarcity and its 'value' diffuses in the face of 'plenty'.
By this concept, any 'diamond' falls in (personal) value the very moment they become as numerous as ordinary pebble stones.
Maybe this is why many of us seek for this 'one in a million' to find true, mutual and personal 'love' within another person, as we are social beings and as such we also need some sort of external 'appreciation' of our personal 'preciousness' to have this important feedback for internal confirmation and to give this 'appreciation' in return, to 'mirror' this affection to the person who is giving it freely to us.
The personal definition of 'love' does vary and what is felt as such for some, may be felt by others just as 'liking'.
This feeling of 'worthlessness' does not appear instantly. It develops slowly over time, over many years of hope and disappointments and it sneaks in silently by the numbers of external devaluation. Depending on personal and emotional 'strength', the period may vary in years until ones self-esteem gets negatively affected and when the 'worthlessness' starts to settle in.
The only 'cure' I am aware of is to be lucky enough to finally find this very personal love one is seeking for, and if this does not happen, to 'move on' as internal stable as possible. We may all know this times of 'struggle' and we may all know people, who really never 'made' it. The list of compensation attempts is long and highly individual, yet it stays a compensation and does not substitute the feeling and knowledge of 'being loved' by others.
Today, this tendency seems to be on the rise ...
Dec 20 2012: hi Lejan,
thanks for ur answer.. ı accepted or still trying to accept that we are alone for this is the truth of our existence and we are lucky if we find someone who will give this external love...Dec 21 2012: Just a few suggestions that may help.
1. If someone I loved was having problems with depression I would get them on anti-depressent medication since sometimes a large part of the problem may be physiological - I advise that you do this if possible.
2 Identify areas in your life where you are "keeping score" and stop keeping score - ego works both ways and you don't want the highs and lows of scoring or not scoring as in more/less money, more/fewer friends, ...
3. Practice "not thinking" as in meditating where your only thoughts are about your breathing, or a mantra - and try to go longer and longer without concious thought.
4. Get, if possible, the book "Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon who went brain dead and revived to tell us of his journey into the afterlife - he incidently was given up for adoption by his birth mother as an infant and struggled with being/not being loved.
Best wishes.
Gail .
Dec 19 2012: Yes. But you must first become self-aware. To do that, you must walk through your fears and always be honest with yourself and others. You must open your mind to possibilities that you have learned is not possible. (You are truly perfect).
- 0
When you have done this, you will find that you are very isolated in the world, but that isolation is well worth it compared to the alternative.Dec 18 2012: Yes, but I am not sure you are ready for the answer the conscious mind might give. Could you be ok with the idea that you are alone, and at the same time not ? Please let me know if you would like me to explain further
Dec 20 2012: please do.ı'll be pleased to hear futher from u and yes,ı know that we are alone for this is the truth of our existence.(ı am interested in existientialist philosophy and u know this is one of the main concerns of this philosophy that we are alone) thanx for ur replyDec 16 2012: Hello,
Possible? Yes! And I agree there are lots of people. Being aware on social networks, by newspaper and TV reports, by magazine stories----yes we know loneliness and feelings of low worth or self esteem are real.
Ministry is a widely used word applied to relationships between people and groups. If we care about ourselves, we can care about other people and minister to them with friendship and sometimes simple gifts meeting their needs. If we have a low self worth, then it is worthwhile to reach out to others and relate honestly, that is honestly tell them friends are needed. Tell the right people and they will respond.
My answer is a BIG YES to your question. If the feeling of being worthless is due to failure to recognize one's skills and talents, then could you remind them of their skills and let them use their talents? Or can you help them develop skills? Confidence is usually what is missing when a person feels worthless. The fact of friendship shown to persons is evidence of something deep inside people which can develop into like and then love. Love is the desire to do something good for another person. What better possibilities for overcoming worthlessness is there!
What to do when a whole community or group feels worthless? Do you have class discrimination in Turkey? I will let the experts comment on group or community situations of low self worth or low self esteem.
Dec 20 2012: mark,
thank u so much for this detailed answer.ı know that low self-esteem shows that something is misinterpreted to value ourselves.and I asked this question for not I have low self-esteem or I dont appreciate myself or others but I asked this to learn some other ways of overcoming this feeling..
And the answer to ur question is that yes,there is invisible class discrimination in Turkey,Cause here in Turkey like many other countries,people, who seem self-confident thanx to their educations,high financial status, dont have self-esteem in real and therefore they define themselves by defining the others who belong to lower classes of society.
may ı ask what did u mean by saying ''I will let the experts comment on group or community situations of low self worth or low self esteem.''?Dec 16 2012: How do you know lots of people feel alone and worthless? Have you talked to lots of people who said they felt this way?
Dec 17 2012: Think about how many children who have been abused. There is a large amount!! Most likely they later on feel this way. Including myself. I was abused and neglected and then taken away from my mother at 6, put into the home of my grandmother. I felt like a burden. I am sure I am not alone since there is a report of child abuse every 5 seconds. 80% of 21 year olds who were abused as children have at least one psychological disorder.
I don't feel worthless now, but I have. I know people who feel this way.
greg dahlen
Dec 17 2012: Sorry about all that, Haley. How is it you felt like a burden living with your grandmother? Aren't grandmothers generally warm and loving people? Mine were.
- +1
Dec 19 2012: The relationship changed, but she was not really around me much before I lived with her anyways. She was no longer grandmother but basically my new mom.
I never felt that she was warm and loving toward me. But I was also very shy and liked to keep distance. She did care about me though I believe, I can't think of another reason why she would have allowed me to live with her if she wasn't a loving person in some ways.Dec 20 2012: hi Haley,
this was excitely what I meant when I asked my question.there are lots of People like and me (I also was ignored and hurt in many ways by my family and some others and this cause also low self-esteem in me and I struggled with this for a long time ) and this proves that there are lots of people who havent been loved enough...
thanx for ur answer and sincere sharing of ur life story...Dec 16 2012: We cant be loved by everybody; because even if we are so lovely, we would have people who are either jealous, arrogant or just not suited to recieve our love.
But even if we are not as lovely as our imagined ideal of the lovely, we still have people who care and are willing to give if we are open to recieve.
More importantly, God is the source of love, the agape from heaven; if we recieve his love we would live in that awareness. And our lives would glow with change.Dec 16 2012: I notice you are a teacher of art and ESL. I think you can be a force for good in this respect by showing students how much you care about and value them. Your students need not feel lonely or unvalued.
Anyone can, in fact, be a force for good by showing such attention and caring to the lonely of any age.
A person who gives consistently from his heart, for example by reaching out in a personal way to the lonely, is unlikely to feel worthless, I think, and very likely to be loved back by many he touches.
Some might find this too sweet an answer, but I believe strongly in this. Martin Seligman's TED talk on positive psychology does not, as I recall, address love as a component but does, as I recall, suggest the benefit to happiness and self-worth of service.
If you have not yet listened to that talk, I recommend it.
Dec 20 2012: hey Fritzie,
thanx for ur answer.yes That's what I amtrying to do in my life.I am trying to do my best to show my students and my kids that they are good and precious to be loved much and they respond very warm to my attitude which shows me that there is always a way out to overcome and to get well...Dec 20 2012: and could u please recommend me this talk? thanx
Dec 16 2012: What is your definition of "loved enough"?
Humans react to their environment, and eventually, if one experiences too many derogatory comments/situations/etc, it will affect his/her thoughts/emotions, changing from " I am good" to "I am bad." Even the strongest mind can be broken by social pressures.
Dec 20 2012: my defination is 'loved enough' is that if one person feels precious herself/himself without feeling the need of proving his/her preciousness, this person would be said to be loved enough... and ı agree that lots of derogatory comments and situations may cause this low self-esteem...
li Miao
Dec 16 2012: When will we feel precious and worthy?
- 0
I personally think it's mostly when we have the strength to love
Being loved and feeling connected with others and a group will also make us feel worthy

Even if it's a frigid 13°F outside, it'll always be a balmy 80°F inside this rugged, waterproof warmer. The Caulk Warmer keeps caulk, glue, sealing tape - even gloves - pliant and ready to use.

Best Uses
Hot caulk is one of those things you don't realize you need until you've tried it. I spend a lot of time with caulk. Having always gotten by with cold caulk, I was a bit skeptical that I really needed hot caulk, but, after trying it out, I can truly say that hot caulk is a million times better than cold caulk. There's no great secret to it: you just slip your caulk into the sleeve, and voila! Hot caulk at your fingertips. The sleeve holds about 8-9 caulk tubes comfortably and warms them up in no time. The caulk goes on easier and spreads out smoother, no more clumping and uneven spreads. After trying it once, you'll wonder how you ever lived without hot caulk.
Best Uses
This is the answer for those frigid days that can really impact your caulk's performance. The snug, enveloping sleeve generates ample penetrating warmth to bring your caulk up to speed and ready to flow smoothly so you can maintain a steady work pace. The 12V power source is a big plus and the cord is more than long enough to reach the back seat.
The material is easy to clean so no need to worry about caulk stains. All in all, a great product that addresses an age old problem.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has launched a software testing lab which aims to identify and prevent glitches from being deployed in its live environments.
Dubbed the AFP 'Technology Innovation Centre', the Federal Police and its technology partners will use the Canberra-based facility to test new software programs prior to purchase or deployment.
An AFP statement described the facility as a "multi-platform environment which allows for rapid system deployments and evaluations."
The statement suggested products could be tested against AFP data sets in "real-time", with the results projected via an "advanced audio-visual system."
AFP Chief Technology Officer Scott MacLeod said the lab would help the Federal Police "identify emerging technologies in support of current and future operations and business needs".
"The centre positions the AFP at the forefront of new and emerging technologies and will play an integral role in enhancing the AFP's crime fighting capability," he said.
It was pitched as a means to "enhance innovative thinking in the field of ICT".
The launch event was not open to the media.
One source invited to the launch event told iTnews that law enforcement officers fighting cybercrime were rarely praised for their innovations as hackers are, due to the secretive nature of the AFP's work.
"An innovations lab would be a great way to encourage their efforts," he said.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - A four-game series between Texas and Tampa Bay for control of the AL wild-card lead settled nothing.
The standings remained as they were prior to this set at Tropicana Field, with the Rangers and Rays tied at the top.
Elvis Andrus knocked in three runs, Craig Gentry had four hits with an RBI, and the Rangers earned a split with a critical 8-2 win on Thursday.
The teams have a half-game lead over Cleveland in the wild-card race. The Rangers clinched the season series for them at 4-3, giving them home-field advantage in the wild-card game if they finish with the same record as the Rays.
An anticipated pitchers' duel between Texas' Yu Darvish and the Rays' Matt Moore never materialized as both struggled on the mound.
"Neither guy was on top of his game tonight," Rays manager Joe Maddon said of the two starting pitchers.
Darvish (13-9), who had lost a career-high four straight starts, needed 109 pitches to complete five innings. The Japanese right-hander surrendered just two first-inning runs, but matched a personal worst with six walks.
Moore (15-4) lasted only four frames, allowing six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits. He struck out six and walked one in his first loss since June 14.
An RBI single by Alex Rios staked Texas to an early lead, but the Rays took advantage of Darvish's erratic control to move in front.
The outing began with a hit batsman for Darvish, who issued three two-out walks in a four-batter span. James Loney followed a free pass to Evan Longoria with an opposite-field double down the left-field line to score David DeJesus. Desmond Jennings forced in another run with a bases-loaded walk.
Texas, though, regained the lead with a power display in the third as Moore gave up solo homers to three of the first four batters. Mitch Moreland led off with a blast to left-center field, and Andrus and Rios clubbed back-to-back drives to left with one out.
"We're playing better baseball," Andrus said. "That's how we're looking right now. You can see how everything is starting to fall on track."
In the next inning, Gentry and Ian Kinsler, following a double steal, each scored when Andrus beat out a two-out chopper to short.
A two-out run-scoring single by Gentry made it 7-2 in the seventh, and Geovany Soto added a leadoff smash for Texas two innings later.
Darvish picked up his first win since Aug. 12. He had two no-decisions before
the losing streak ... Gentry had three of the Rangers' five stolen bases ...
Texas outhit the Rays 16-7 ... The Rangers were 3-for-16 with runners in
scoring position.
