I'm a busy mom with full-time teaching and the kids' activities (homework, band, piano, baseball, church, etc.). I enjoy blogging, scrapbooking, reading, writing, and watching movies.
A little over 3 years ago, I remarried, and we have a blended family, so I have 2 more stepdaughters who live at home (ages 15 and 19) and a stepson, age 28. My stepson and his wife recently had twin sons who are almost a year old."

Most students called ineligible for tuition rebates
WindsorStar.com – news
January 4, 2012. By Rebecca Wright, The Windsor Star
About two-thirds of post-secondary students are ineligible for tuition rebates introduced this month by the provincial Liberals, according to the Canadian Federation of Students.
"There are a lot of exclusions to the grant that really don't make sense," CFS chairwoman for Ontario Sandy Hudson said Tuesday.
She said the province is refusing to make changes to the policy even though most students are ineligible.
The Ontario Tuition Grant is a new rebate effective Jan. 5 that offsets tuition costs for dependent full-time undergraduate students within four years of graduating high school. The annual rebate is $730 for each college student and $1,600 for each university student from families with incomes under $160,000 a year.
Although the Liberal government said more than 300,000 will benefit from the rebate program, the CFS said there are too many students that it does not apply to. Hudson said less than 50 per cent of all students in the university sector and one-third of college students will benefit.
The CFS presented a petition to the legislature signed by 40,000 students proposing that the $423-million to be spent annually on the rebate program be applied to all tuition fees. This would reduce tuition costs for everyone by nearly 15 per cent, Hudson said, adding the current application process to determine who is eligible is elaborate and also costly.
David Raymont, director of communication for the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, defended the program.
"The new Ontario tuition grant is progressive," he said. "It provides help to families and students who are most in need."
MPP Teresa Piruzza (L – Windsor West) said there are other grants available for students who are excluded from the tuition rebate.
"We actually have one of the most generous assistance programs in the country," Piruzza said. "There are a number of different types of grants and assistance that are available that open the doors to those people that may not be eligible for this program but may be eligible for another program."
Piruzza does not foresee any changes to the program but Matt Caron, St. Clair College Student Representative Council president, said there are some "tweaks" that need to be made.
"It's definitely a step in the right direction but hopefully within the next year or two, there are less restrictions on applying for it," he said. "But as of right now, any money off for students is fantastic and hopefully with the years to come it just gets better and better for students."
Andre Capaldi, president of the University of Windsor Students' Alliance, said he believes the grant will improve accessibility and help reduce the stress students are under.
"I think it's going to do wonders for the students here at the University of Windsor and I really commend the government for making post-secondary education a priority," Capaldi said. "And I think many students at the University of Windsor are going to see a positive impact in their lives because of it."
Capaldi, a member of the Ontario Young Liberals, said he is "overwhelmingly in support" of the new program and said he does not anticipate much criticism from students.

You're out running errands when you happen upon a toy store. So many cute things...anything your baby would like? As you peer closely at the infant selections, you notice that almost every plaything is labeled, in one way or another, as "developmental." It's not enough to just be fun -- toys today promise to impart knowledge of cause and effect, provide verbal or visual stimulation, teach object permanence, or boost brain activity. The not-so-subtle innuendo: You really can make your baby smarter! All of the sudden, it seems that this little impulse buy could mean the difference between community college and Harvard.
The right toys as tools
Toys as teaching tools Could what's in your baby's toy box actually have that much of an impact on his development and intellect? "Toys that are appropriate to a child's developmental level can be extremely important," says Helen Boehm, Ph.D., a Manhattan-based psychologist and author of The 2004 Official Guide to the Right Toys. "Toys can reinforce cause and effect. But if the skills involved in playing with the toy are beyond the child's abilities, he could become frustrated. In the same way that our work may be frustrating without the right tools, our children's play may be less challenging -- and not as much fun -- without the right toys."
But won't a baby pick up, say, the idea of object permanence on his own? Yes, but having the right tools at hand helps the process along and makes it more fun. "Parents have been playing charming but clearly important games, like peekaboo, with their children for generations. Whether we're using our hands, a doll that's hidden behind Mommy's back and brought out again, or the latest 'developmental toy,' we're fitting products into time-tested experiences. The toy is a tool," notes Dr. Boehm.
Christina Vercelletto is the products editor of BabyTalk.
Finding the right toys
The term "developmental toy" is just another way to describe a toy that's appropriate for the stage your baby is in -- it lets her practice the skills she's trying to master. But remember that each child is an individual. "Development is not totally a function of age but also of personality, intellect, and emotions," says Dr. Boehm. Also, boys generally develop fine motor skills (such as pushing a button) later than girls. If you observe your child and rely on age-based markers as guideposts, though, you'll be in the right ballpark.
Toys that require a skill just one step beyond your child's present abilities are worth trying if you help and she can imitate you. If you need to do most of the work to make it interesting, then your baby isn't quite ready.
Keep in mind, too, that a baby's attention span is short -- less than one minute for a 6-month-old. So a seemingly quick loss of interest in a toy doesn't necessarily mean you made a poor choice. Don't force a toy on a baby, though. If your child seems frustrated with a toy you offer, put it away and try again in a month or so.
Making it fun
The key to an ever-exciting toy is letting your child control the action. "Make sure your baby's doing it, not the toy. Babies want to make things happen," says Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., author of Dr. Toy's Smart Play. Your child should be an active participant, not a passive observer.
And to keep the good times rolling, the toy should grow with your child. Take a soft ball, for example: An infant can touch and look at it, an older baby can push it, and a toddler can throw or kick it. Books can also evolve with your child. Board books that are safe for a baby to mouth let him get used to the feel and look of the books he'll read later. As he gets older, he can look at the pictures, practice turning the pages, and pretend to read by babbling.
Put active toys, such as ride-ons, on your shopping list as well. Development means physical as much as mental. "The two are totally interconnected. Toys that help children with physical balance and coordination may help with language development as well. Gross (large) motor skills, such as crawling and walking, and perceptual skills are the underpinnings of learning to read, aside from promoting good health," says Dr. Boehm.
Dr. Auerbach suggests keeping these additional tips in mind as you shop for a toy your baby will love:
* "Music is wonderful stimulation. The softer, the better," she says. Crinkle noises and animal sounds are also great.
* Vivid colors engage babies most.
* Look for a variety of textures: satin, soft plush, smooth wood, bumpy plastic.
More for your money
Toys that both of you will enjoy don't need to cost a lot. But when you're buying several at a time for a birthday or holiday, the bill can add up. To decide whether the toy is a good value, ask yourself:
* Is it washable or easy to keep clean?
* Is it durable? Little ones are clumsy, so the toy should be able to stand up to a lot of lovin'.
* Will it travel well?
* Is it multipurpose (you can put it away and take it out again when your baby is at a different stage)?
* Can it be played with in more than one way? For example, pull toys can also be pushed.
* Could you buy two or three of a less expensive item that serves the same function, giving you more variety for the same price? One super-fancy musical toy may cost as much as three baby music CDs.
What not to buy
"You don't need fifty toys, even twenty-five toys. You should be selective," says Dr. Auerbach. Clutter can be overwhelming for everyone. Here's what you can leave on the store shelf:
* Yet another stuffed animal. A few furry friends have their place, but you don't need a menagerie.
* Flash cards for babies.
* Toys that are obnoxiously loud, flashy, or busy. Follow your instincts. If a toy is annoying to you, it will probably overstimulate your baby as well.
Play with me
Even a carefully chosen toy can only take a baby so far. The missing piece in the puzzle is you. "It's not just the toy; it's how the toy is introduced into the baby's life. The first developmental toy is the parent," says Dr. Auerbach. "Playthings should bring you and your baby together."
Contributing editor William Sears, M.D., the author of more than 30 books on childcare, offers these play tips:
* Play an instrument or musical toy just out of your baby's sight as he learns to turn to locate a sound.
* Place a favorite plaything a little beyond your baby's reach, then encourage her as she scoots toward it.
* Infants love to touch a friendly face. Let your baby interact with your face in the mirror, then touch his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth as he watches and learns.
The claims on the box are only generalizations of what your baby may get from a toy. If you're part of the game yourself, you can help her improvise to learn even more. At first, she'll just try to grab at a set of stacking rings, and then she'll chew on them. With you there to show her how to stack them and to cheer her on, she'll develop the control to do it herself.
Remember, too, that at the end of the day, all the toys in the world can't compare with attention from you. Exploring the grass and bushes in the backyard, splashing bubbles or animating a washcloth puppet in the tub, and listening to the sounds of the crickets at night are all enriching activities that don't require a trip to the toy store. Yet toys -- the right toys -- can make the days more interesting for everyone. What a developmental toy develops, really, is the relationship between you and your baby.

We're really excited to start rolling out a new audio format for Indie Travel Podcast.
We wanted to tighten up our travel podcast, and we've found a way that we can do this, improve our story-telling, and make the world a better place.
Starting with this episode, 286, (iTunes, Stitcher or Soundcloud) we're rolling straight into it.
The breakdown:
Each podcast will comprise five parts,
- The intro
- Our week
- The feature
- Indie Travel Podcast tip of the week
- The outro
The intro and outro should be self-evident, but in the other sections…
Our week
We'll be talking about what we've been up to! We'll try to focus on experiences rather than a play by play, telling some of our favourite stories with events, places, and people — both good and bad — we find on the road.
We're going to start and end this section with some music or sounds we record during the week. In this episode, Surfing, Yoga, And Sustainable Living In Fuerteventura, we open and close with live Irish music we heard on the streets of Dublin. We'll be trying to grab church bells, buskers, train lines, public announcements and all sorts each week.
The feature
In 10-15 minutes we'll cover a destination, a set of tips, or an interview from travellers around the world. This section is designed to be interesting, enlightening, inspiring… but most importantly, helpful. As always, our goal is to help you travel well.
Indie Travel Podcast tip of the week
We've noticed we always come across some little titbit of information: a website we found useful, hints on navigating a bus station, something that made life easier on the road. We'll be snapping this on to the end of the show… and you know what's really cool?
We'd love you to contribute your tips! Your voice on the Indie Travel Podcast!
We haven't quite figured out how to do this — we'll probably end up with a digital answering machine you can record onto, but it's coming soon. In the meantime, you can record an audio tip with the voice memo app on your phone and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

We're now one of the top resources to find used machinery at prices that are below the standard retail pricing for preowned industrial equipment that is found online.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 24, 2014
Industrial equipment that is purchased in used condition is one way that some companies are saving money compared to purchasing newly released units in the U.S. The Stone Equipment USA company specializes in stone machinery and is now selling used water jet cutter equipment at new prices for buyers at http://stoneequipmentusa.com.
This price drop is now added to the current discount price structure that is attached to all machinery that is in stock this year. The entire company stock of water jet tools that are offered for distribution is now applied with the new sticker pricing announced for industrial buyers.
The Stone Equipment USA company redesigned its website at the first of this year to assist with public research for top quality stone machinery at affordable prices. The price drop for water jet saws, laser saws, CNC cutters and other tools is expected to increase the distribution by this company in 2014.
"We're now one of the top resources to find used machinery at prices that are below the standard retail pricing for preowned industrial equipment that is found online," said one source at the StoneEquipmentUSA.com company.
A new source of suppliers has contributed this year to the new inventory and source of price discounts. The reported price drop for the water jet inventory is one example of new policy changes that are affecting all machinery shippable in the U.S. An acquisition team now participates in the selection process to find good condition machinery now distributed to all buyers.
"We've increased the size of our inventory that is offered for public viewing this year as a way to introduce our new products and price structures online," the source said.
The StoneEquipmentUSA.com company is continuing its acquisition efforts through this year to provide more quality machinery at discounted prices. The customer service number at (305) 600-4950 is one way that prices are distributed to customers. The use of the online quote system at http://stoneequipmentusa.com/get-a-quote is now a secondary way to learn all stone machinery pricing.
About StoneEquipmentUSA.com
The StoneEquipmentUSA.com company is one of the independent used machinery resources that commercial and residential buyers use for locating different stone machinery online. This company has a full-time sales staff participating in customer assistance programs each day. The StoneEquipmentUSA.com website is able to accept price quotations for any equipment in stock in used or new condition. The price quotation feature is a new option for machinery buyers to review prices before making purchase requests. The customer service staff is now reachable through a new bilingual phone system to support all buyers.

CNET First Look
The WD VelociRaptor offers great performance.The WD VelociRaptor makes an excellent storage solution for housing a large amount of data that's frequently accessed and manipulated.
-Hi guys, it's Dong Ngo here and today I have something in my hands that actually feels really good that I want to get angry and throw it somebody, but before I get violent, let me be lovely and tell you what this is. This is the brand new 1 terabyte VelociRaptor hard drive from WD. Now, this is not any hard drive. This is the only on the market for consumer that actually spin at 10,000 RPM of others. The means it's very fast. It's also very reliable and come with a full 5 years of warranty. Now, 1 terabyte is not a big deal in the world of desktop hard drive, but take a close look. This hard drive here actually a 2.5 hard drive mounted on a hitching to make it a desktop hard drive that plus the fact that it spins at 10,000 RPM make it very impressive that it offers 1 terabyte. -Unfortunately, when it takes the drive off the hitching, which you can, it doesn't fit in a laptop because it's actually very thick, but you do that one too to high end hard drive in a laptop, but in a desktop and most specifically as the secondary hard drive with the main hard drive being an SSD. That's because this hard drive here offer very fast data transfer speed and like all hard drive, it doesn't sub perform the limited program or a cycle, which all SSD do. More of that plus the performance, check out the full review at CNET.com. Now, this new hard drive here is not cheap costing around $300 making it about the most expensive hard drive you can find on the market. For that reason, you probably don't want to use it as a weapon to throw at anybody or maybe should. Think about it. If all the stuff you throw each other cost this much when they offended, you will say, hey, then you go home save for a few months and maybe you get a second job, get myself a bunch of VelociRaptor hard drive and you'd be very intimidated. You take me very seriously too. And speaking of being serious, look, I have 2 of them right here waiting and it's not because I am offended or angry, but it's because-- Once again, my name is Dong Ngo and this has been the first look at the VelociRaptor from WD. You desktop computer deserved one.

What Foreign Man Should Be Aware When Looking For Girl In Ukraine
The fact that Ukraine is home to the most beautiful girls is known far away abroad. In the past ten years in the near and far abroad marrying Ukrainian woman is considered as successful step. Every day international dating sites have hundreds of fresh foreign men who are looking for the woman of his dreams in Ukraine. Of course, not all of them have "serious intentions" which they declare in their application form. Very often all foreigner wants is just banal sex tourism, where foreigners want to find easy relationships cheaply.
However, foreign romance, marriage or sex searchers are increasingly available overestimate naivety of Ukrainian girls. And just underestimate their innate practicality. Girls do not always anxiously eager to take on the burden of marital duties or take a dip in the storm of passion, often they want to travel at the expense of the secured fan, visit with him expensive restaurants and hotels, get some precious little thing to remember about meeting or some sum of money. In this case, many of the "brides" postpone sex for a long period, until the fan finally begins to doubt the sincerity of their feelings and goals of not cheap platonic friendship. Then the bride can gently inform foreign man that, unfortunately, she likes the other, or simply disappear.

Surprisingly, some foreigners for a long time do not realize that they are used. Girls get money in different ways. For example, they take gifts from men – clothes, appliances, etc., and the next day pass gifts to the store and take the money back. There are unscrupulous agencies who are building their business on these girls, they write wonderful letters, and by the grooms are buying apartments and cars.

CNBlue's Jong Hyun confesses to getting plastic surgery on his ear
Orange Marmalade star Jong Hyun's cauliflower ear compelled him to go under the knife.
On yesterday's episode of the KBS 2TV's variety program Our Neighborhood Sports, the show decided to focus on judo. Jong Hyun took on the role of instructor based on his experience with martial arts. "During middle school until my first year of high school, I did judo, " he explained.
He evened admitted that he had plastic surgery on his ear because the repeated blows developed into cauliflower ear: "I exercised while dreaming of medals. In middle school, I even got a gold medal after only six months of training. I got a cauliflower ear while I was training. It was a bit severe, so I had some of it removed."
Despite that one procedure, the "Cinderella" singer insists that he is all natural. Honestly, I didn't know much about cauliflower ear until recently. The way it forms is very surprising. Nonetheless, it's great to see the CNBlue member being completely honest with his fans about cosmetic work he had done.

Thank you Stephen Lippy! I recently filed two claims simultaneously with Stephen's assistance. He took all the stress and worry out of the process. He recently hand-delivered two checks to me totaling in excess of $20,000. The process took no more than 4 weeks from start to finish. I know for a fact that I could not have managed my claims and received this payout without his support and professional guidance. I've already referred Stephen to two of my neighbors. Highly recommended!Steve A., Boca Raton
It is very nice to know that I can send you someone who has just had a loss and know that you will take good care of them. My daughter was terrified by the insurance company and you handle them for her and made the process easy. I can't thank you enough for helping her. If you hadn't help her they were surely going to take advantage of her. They offered her $1,500 for her damage and she just settled for $68,000. You are the pit bull of adjusters and I'm glad that you were able to help.John,
My mother who lived in Grandview had a terrible flood in her unit from a faulty washing machine hook up. Stephen Lippy was able to get her a $28,000 settlement for the damage. He really fought for my mother's best interest. Would recommend highly.Marty C.,

No Program for January
Dear Members and Friends,
IBAP has been a great success for more than 15 years, connecting business-minded people through a social platform, encouraging exchanges of business cards, wine and a topical presentation. The association and it's board members have always sought holding an officially registered status that required transparency, accountability and audits. Over the years the dedicated effort of several dozens of people, mostly members but not all, and numerous knowledgeable companies never reached attaining the final stamp. There are many thoughts and impressions as to why (or why not?), and we could fill many monthly programs with discussions on this topic, but all comes down to the never ending process we've been in for years and years trying to achieve a registered association by a process that matches our goals of clarity and transparency. Perhaps with the new government will come new ways that support our registration as an association in Thailand. In the meantime the IBAP board will place our "association" into a suspended state. We shall keep communication lines open through the website and emails, and if we are made aware of available interesting programs we will support holding a social meeting to present another evening.
Thank you,
James Firth, IBAP President

Etiopathogenesis of malignant tumors is not yet explained which implies that laryngeal cancers are still a mystery too. Prolonged exposure to environmental agents increases the risk of malignant tumors.
Risk factors are smoking, alcohol, air pollution, deficiency, early respiratory disease, and heritage. The greatest importance is given to smoking.
Laryngeal Cancer Symptoms
Supraglottic cancers spreads quickly locally and metastasizes early. The most common symptom is hoarseness. In addition there are also problems in breathing, difficulties when swallowing, sore throat and neck, feeling the presence of some kind of foreign bodyin the throat, cough, bloody sputum, bad breath, and enlarged lymph glands in the neck. Supraglottic carcinomas do not go with hoarseness, as early symptoms. In the beginning, they are characterized by slight symptoms. The first symptom which draws the attention is the pain that is aggravated by swallowing.
The most typical symptom of glottic carcinoma is the constant hoarseness of variable intensity, which develops to the agony (loss of voice). Hoarseness is the early symptom of glottic carcinoma. Disturbances of breathing, bloody sputum and cough are the symptoms of advanced illness.
Subglottic cancer symptoms are deceptive. The growth of laryngeal tumors causes shortness of breath as the first symptom, but in fact the illness has already advanced. Disturbances of breathing develop gradually with the spread of tumor formation and stenosis. At first they appear in an effort to breathe and later inspirational strider (wheezing) emerges, followed by cyanosis (blue). Over the time is patient is relatively well adapted to breathing through a narrow gap next to the cancer.
Laryngeal Cancer Diagnosis
The diagnosis is set through the clinical, endoskopic, radiological and histopathological examinations.
Laryngeal Cancer Treatment
Validated methods for the treatment of laryngeal cancer are surgery, radiotherapy or a combination of these two methods. Chemotherapy is adjuvant in some combinations, but never a primary therapy.
Therapeutic results are evaluated by five-year cancer survival. A patient who was five years after completion of treatment without clinically apparent tumor is considered to be cured. The natural evolution of untreated laryngeal cancer patients leads to the death usually one year after the onset of symptoms. Prognosis depends on several factors such as localization and dissemination, metastases, histological nature, immune status, early diagnosis, type of therapy.
Globally laryngeal cancer of all localizations have been successfully treated, particularly by surgical treatment, which is why early diagnosis is very important.

The starving polar has been the face splashed on media platforms as the icon of climate change. This visual has a strong impact on us – we see the ribbed polar bear, helpless at sea – and our conscious tugs at our minds. But this visual has led us to externalise the notion of climate change, to think of it as something that happens at the far reaches of the earth.
According to a recent study in Nature Climate Change, climate change has already negatively impacted on 47% of mammals and 23% of bird species.
There is undeniable evidence that the climate is changing. The earth is warmer now than it has been in recent history, with 2015 being documented as the hottest year on record (National Geographic). The rate of warming over the last fifty years is at least double that of the previous fifty.
How does climate change impact wildlife?
This recent study has found that our rapidly changing climate has adverse effects on many species. This includes lifespan, diet and their ability to adapt.
"It is likely that many of these species have a high probability of being very negatively impacted by expected future changes in the climate," said author Michela Pacifici of the Global Mammal Assessment Program at Sapienza University of Rome.
Smaller animals and burrowing rodents are less affected by the global rise in temperature. Instead, marsupials and primates living in the jungle or forested environments are vulnerable to rising temperature. This is compounded due to land degradation and deforestation. It also impacts on the animals, such as elephants, who have a long lifespan and take their time to reproduce.
Birds are even more sensitive to disturbance in climate and weather patterns. A warming climate affects the birds living in cold and high altitude areas, who cannot find a cooler environment. It also disturbs aquatic birds, because the ocean has been acting as a heat sink, storing heat and CO2. It has slowed the rapid progression of global warming in recent years, but the consequences of disturbing the equilibrium are still unknown.
Part of a global ecosystem
Predicting and accurately calculating the effects of climate change on wildlife and biodiversity. It is a complex ecosystem. Mark Lynas' "Six Degrees" (2008) featured a rather apocalyptic view of climate change, stating that the human race has already gone too far, and done irreparable damage to the global ecosystem. This serious read shocks the viewer into realising how intricately interconnected all life is, and that a flap of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane.
We live as part of the global ecosystem. We are not separate from it, as much as we would like to be. If we even lose on key species to the ecosystem – it could upset the balance. In one year, America lost 23.2% of their bees – which had a devastating knock-on effect on pollination and our food resources.
If we continue down the trajectory we are heading, consequences of climate change will catch in a quick, unstoppable change of events. But it is not just about looking into the future. biodiversity (and people) are being affected by the phenomenon now. We need to ask ourselves what we can do now.

DevoManc Workshop
As part of the national Parliament Week 16th – 22nd Nov 2015
Hosted and convened by the Public Services Group at Manchester Metropolitan University
For further information contact Dr Rory Shand - email@example.com
Following Chancellor George Osborne's announcement in 2015 that his government planned to foster a 'northern powerhouse' in the North of England, this event examines the key issues and organisations involved in this initiative, and the implications for cities such as Manchester. The Northern Powerhouse agenda raises questions, in terms of devolution, regional and national governance, regeneration, and the role of public services, the voluntary sector, businesses and communities in these areas. For example, would harnessing the economic strength of cities such as Manchester increase regional power, or would this simply strengthen existing inequalities? What would the role for communities be in the potential economic development of these areas? Does the northern powerhouse have implications for governance nationally, and might it hasten an English Parliament, as well as the advent of devolution in areas across the North of England?
10am arrival
10 – 12 Devo Manc discussion with MMU Public Services Group Staff
12 noon lunch
1pm – 2pm student workshops
Workshops open to all levels and with invitations to public services A level, Foundation and HND students.

Mark Zuckerberg Initiated And Finalized Facebook's Instagram Deal In Just Two Days
According to multiple reports, Mark Zuckerberg was able to pull off the Facebook/Instagram deal in only two days. Some will call it a confident move by a savvy young CEO, while others will say it's just a hurried youthful blunder. Either way, the deal is done and we're anxious to see how well Facebook implements Instagram into their culture. But hey, back to deal! What happened?
Here's how the New York Time puts it,
Mr. Zuckerberg was blunt: Facebook wanted to buy Instagram. Over the next 48 hours, Facebook and Instagram hammered out the details for a $1 billion cash-and-stock deal, the social network's largest acquisition to date, the people said. By the end of Sunday, the deal was done and announced the following day.

Justin Ross Harris Trial: Dad Cries Over Son's Prolonged Agonizing Death In 120° Car
So NOW he's upset! Justin Ross Harris broke down in court Oct. 18 as a medical examiner detailed the long and agonizing death his 22-month-old son Cooper suffered after allegedly being left to die in a steaming hot car. Keep reading for more details on the dramatic courtroom developments.
He finally lost his cool! Justin Ross Harris, 35, actually showed some emotion in his murder trial for allegedly leaving his nearly two-year-old son Cooper inside a steaming hot car to roast to death. He began sobbing uncontrollably as a former Cobb County Medical Examiner Brian Frist took the stand in his trial to detail the "prolonged" and "agonizing" death Cooper suffered while Justin went to work at an Atlanta area home depot.
"I believe he went through various stages as he was passing," Brian testified. "He would've experienced nausea, a headache, dehydration, seizures, anxiety…." OMG that poor child! The outside temps on the June 2014 day were in the 90's, and testimony revealed that inside the car Cooper cooked to death at 120 degrees, with his eventual cause of death being hyperthermia. That's just so horrific.

Click for more pics of Justin Ross Harris and little Cooper
Justin continued to need the Kleenex to wipe away his tears as the jurors were shown 34 autopsy pics of Cooper's lifeless body. Some of the photos were taken shortly after the toddler was removed from the car and were SO hard to look at. So now Justin is finally showing some sadness over allegedly leaving his son to die a slow, agonizing death in the worst way possible then claiming it was all just a terrible accident.
He sure wasn't broken up about Cooper's death in the hours that followed according to another witness. Mark Wilson was in a holding pit facing DUI charges when the cops brought Justin in. He claimed the defendant nonchalantly said "What's up, guys?" and didn't appear sad or upset. Justin never said what he was in for and the two went on to make small talk for several hours until they were up for processing. It was only the next day on the news that Mark found out he'd been arrested for the death of his son and told the court that Justin absolutely did not seem like someone who has just lost a child.
HollywoodLifers, do you think the jury will end up convicting Justin in Cooper's death?

Transfers: I will transfer ownership to direct descendants within four generations - the same as Find A Grave guidelines. Otherwise, I'm happy to add to memorials and make links, just click on the "Edit" tab on the top right of the memorial.
One line of my ancestors (CROSE) lived in Tippecanoe Co., IN in the 1820s. Some of their cousins lived in the next county to the south, Boone, and some south of that in Hendricks Co. I have taken photos mostly in Boone and Hendricks, including the older, more difficult to read stones. Hopefully, these photographs will be around longer than the headstones. Many are on the verge of not being readable - even with the sun at a good angle and using tricks to bring out the text.
Since I've been doing genealogy research for a number of years, I can see a real benefit in seeing headstones, rather than relying on a transcription. To me, the important thing is to be able to read the inscription (names & dates, child of ...), but not really the verse below it. It's also important to know who is buried next to who. I'll mention that if I notice a connection.
Cemeteries that are completed - meaning that I photographed everything and have posted all that was readable. Other transcriptions may have more names.
Beck - Bethel (Boone Co.) - Bethel (52nd St Indy) - Beth-El Zedeck South Browns Wonder - Jones - Lowry -Macedonia - Mintonye
- Mt Union -Mt. Zion - North Branch
- Oak Hill (Sect 1-30, 34N & 34S)

- Prebster - Old Union Church - Richland - Robison - St. Malachy West - Salem - Sparks - Taylor - Trotter (I can only find 33 of the 64 markers) - Weaver - Zionsville
I currently use a 10M Canon Powershot camera which will take pictures at 3648 x 2736 pixels. Normally I reset the resolution to 2272 x 1704 and then on the computer, especially with worn headstones, I turn up the contrast 20-30%, and lower the brightness 5-10% and keep the compression at 98 to 99%. When I started posting for Find a Grave, the photo file size limit was 250 KB, then 350, 500, 750, 2000 3000 and now 8000 KB. I use photo editing software that I downloaded for free - it's much better than what Canon or Olympus gives you with their camera. With Photoscape I know the file size before I save the file.

Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief
This week the House considered H.R. 152: Appropriations for Sandy Disaster Relief. You may recall that funding to help states cope with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy passed in the Senate before the end of the year. That package was supposed to be taken up by the House on January 1st but votes were cancelled late that night. As you can imagine, this resulted in a tremendous amount of criticism, particularly from lawmakers and residents of impacted states. After the backlash, a small portion of the funds necessary to address the damage of Hurricane Sandy passed in the House with a promise to take up the rest of the funding this week. The House finally acted Tuesday, but not without controversy.
The Senate passed legislation providing $60.4 billion in disaster relief at the end of the year. Two weeks ago, the House approved $9.7 billion in funding. This week, a two pronged approach was taken. First, a measure to provide $17 billion in funding was considered. Then, an amendment was considered that added $33.4 billion more to the aid package. This brought total funding for Hurricane Sandy relief to $60.1 billion, slightly less than the Senate bill.
You will see in the voting chart that quite a few members did not support providing disaster relief. Many argued that funding should be fully offset by making cuts elsewhere. This approach would have applied different rules on Sandy than existed for all other major storms in recent memory, including Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Andrew. Those circumstances were rightly deemed emergencies, funding was provided without being fully offset, and it was provided much more quickly. No one is disputing the devastation that Sandy caused, and those impacted deserve a helping hand. I voted YES. H.R. 152 passed and the entire vote is recorded below:

Formative Years
The "School of Engineering" at the University of Saskatchewan was founded in 1912 when the current administration decided to gather closely related courses under one title. The first courses offered at the School were in Civil Engineering and were taught to six students by C.J. Mackenzie.
Chalmers Jack MacKenzie was appointed the first Dean of the College in 1921. C.J. Mackenzie is well known for designing and building Saskatoon's unique Broadway Bridge, a project intended to help the unemployed during the depression. He also took a lead role in developing nuclear research in Canada, joining the National Research Council (NRC) in 1939 and becoming its president in 1944. In 1984 the College adopted the Mackenzie dress tartan tie as their own, in honour of C.J. Mackenzie who died that same year. In January, a distinguished alumnus is invited to speak at the C.J. Mackenzie Gala of Engineering Excellence, the College's annual flagship event honouring the achievements of students, faculty, staff and alumni.
On April 26th, 1916 the first Bachelors of Engineering degrees in Civil Engineering were awarded at the first graduation ceremony to three students - Spencer Ball, George Oliver Thorn and Rueben John Hanley. October 28, 1920 marked the opening of the new engineering building with a dance in the first year drafting room. Now with a formal place of their own, this spirited group of students produced their own chant:
Levels, transits, calculus
Spiral curves and the rhombus
Offsets, tangents, hemispheres
Who are we? The Engineers!
The 1920's saw the formation of an ethical base that set engineers and engineering apart from other professional groups as they developed a set of principles to guide them in their work and service to the community. These principles culminated in the passing of the Professional Engineers Act in 1930.
The Depression and WW II
Through the Great Depression, engineers persisted in seeking their education. Tuition fees were raised, the Broadway Bridge was constructed, and the College adopted a coat of arms. As well, Chemical Engineering was added to the curriculum in 1931, and Geological and Engineering Physics in 1937.
The 40's brought about major change due to the Second World War. Because of the demonstrated importance of engineers to the war effort, the College of Engineering became the largest College on campus for the first time. As well, the College saw its first female graduate, and Electrical Engineering was introduced.
Petroleum Engineering was instituted in 1952-53, and Ceramics was removed around that same time. It was also in the fifties that the engineering students were at war with the law students, bringing about such events as the abduction of the Legal Eagle and the Derby Squash Episode.
Half a Century
In 1962 the College celebrated its 50th anniversary. Mining Engineering began in 1963, along with Engineering Sciences. Grants for research passed the million-dollar mark, and the College was able to purchase more sophisticated equipment. In 1972 the Space Engineering Division broke away from the University to become SED Systems, the first such commercial move of its kind. The late seventies saw the change from a thesis to a design project in most disciplines. The 70s also saw the advancement of the SAE super-mileage vehicles, which would ultimately set world records in fuel efficiency.
By the summer of 1980, the College had a new modern building, being the last Campus building constructed using the English system of measurement. A redeveloped curriculum greeted the students of the eighties and that decade marked the end of the famous "Godiva Ride. The nineties saw the rise of the double degree program in engineering due to the ongoing technological advantage gained by the wide-spread implementation of computers. The College's longest serving Dean, Peter Nikiforuk, retired in 1997.
Within the last eight years the College has seen the establishment of several research and teaching related Chairs, including the Listwin Family Chair in Innovative Teaching (renamed the Jerry G. Huff Chair in 2007) and the La Borde Chair in Engineering Entrepreneurship, the first of its kind in Canada. And in 2007 the University of Saskatchewan Space Design Team took first place in NASA's 2007 Space Elevator Competition for the third year in a row.
Plans are underway to celebrate the achievements of the first 100 years at the College of Engineering in September 2012, and one can only imagine what Engineering graduates will achieve in the next century and beyond. The people of the College of Engineering - students, alumni, faculty and staff – and their gifts of time, talent and treasure, are what will continue to create the long-standing tradition and history of this distinguished institution.

"The University Council represents a meaningful and positive change at Willamette, embodying the spirit of the Joint Agreement which calls for more robustly deliberative, inclusive and consultative decision-making processes," said Seth Cotlar, professor of history and a faculty representative on the committee.
The University Council is designed to serve as an advisory body with broad representation — including students, faculty and staff from all schools. The group is charged with ensuring that faculty, staff and students play a meaningful role in guiding the strategic direction of the university.
The University Council also provides informed and representative advice and input to the president and senior administration regarding programs, policies and initiatives that affect the common interests of faculty, staff and students. It is also a forum where faculty and student leaders can introduce and discuss academic or student life initiatives that may have broader impact on the university community.
"This is a great opportunity to involve students voices in important university decisions," said Liz Gill, 2016–17 ASWU president. "Though I am the official representative from the CLA student body, I will consult with and include my fellow students in the work of the University Council."
The University Council is expected to become the central coordinating body for the various groups charged with shared governance of Willamette. Members of the council are expected to consult with and communicate back to the groups they represent about matters considered by the council.
"I look forward to consulting with this broad group of campus representatives as we work together on our shared goals as an institution and expand shared governance," said President Steve Thorsett.

Ohio governor signs order to expedite slots at racetracks
The Ohio Lottery Commission on Monday passed several rules governing slot machines at Ohio racetracks after Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed an executive order allowing the rules to go into effect on an expedited basis.
The executive order allows the lottery commission to approve rules without undergoing a 75-day state review process, to the benefit of casino companies and racetrack owners that are eager to obtain gambling licenses from the state. In the order, Kasich said that he had determined that an "emergency exists" in the state, citing the revenues the slot machines could provide to the state.
Earlier this year, Kasich reached a deal with casino companies to allow slot machines at racetracks through the Ohio Lottery Commission. The state's seven racetracks, including its three Thoroughbred tracks, have been authorized to operate a total of 17,500 machines, and they are expected to begin submitting applications for licenses within the next four months.
All three of Ohio's Thoroughbred racetracks have been purchased by casino companies in the last year. Penn National, which owns Beulah Park near Columbus, has said that it will apply to relocate Beulah to Dayton, to avoid competing with a casino it is already building in Columbus.
The existing rules require racetrack owners to invest $150 million in their casinos and pay a $50 million licensing fee. Unlike most other states, racetrack casinos in Ohio will not be required to subsidize their horseracing operations with slot-machine revenues, and Kasich's earlier order authorizing the machines gives the state the right to set agreements between tracks and horsemen if they cannot come to terms on revenue-sharing contracts prior to the casinos opening.

Heat 111, Clippers 89
MIAMI -- The Los Angeles Clippers had their full team for the first time this season, but it wasn't enough as the Miami Heat cruised to a 111-89 victory Friday night.
LeBron James led the Heat with 30 points, six assists and five rebounds. It was his fourth straight game with at least 30 points, tying Dwyane Wade's team record.
In those four games, James is averaging 31 points on 73-percent shooting.
Wade added 20 points and seven assists, and Mario Chalmers had 18 points as the short-handed Heat, playing without two regular members of the rotation, rolled.
The Clippers hung with the Heat for the first quarter, trailing 30-29. But the Heat outscored the Clips by 11 in the second quarter and put the game away by outscoring them by 13 in the third.
Miami made 53 percent of its shots, including 15 3-pointers.
The Heat, leaders of the Eastern Conference, improved to 21-3 at home this season. San Antonio (22-2) is the only NBA team with fewer home losses so far this season.
Because of a flu bug that has ripped through the Heat team, Wade missed the morning shoot-around but still played in the game. James is battling a cough, and Chris Bosh and Ray Allen missed the game.
Even so, James had another stellar game and passed Sherman Douglas for fourth place on the Heat's career assists chart.
Heat forward Chris "Birdman" Andersen didn't put up much in the way of statistics -- eight points and four rebounds -- but he celebrated the fact that Miami picked up his contract for the rest of the season.
The Clippers, meanwhile, which had won two straight over the Heat, including earlier this season, are winless in Miami since March 10, 2008.
Apparently, it is going to take the Clippers some time to come together. Point guard Chris Paul, who missed the past nine games due to a bruised right kneecap, had three points and two assists.
Other Clippers who returned were forward Blake Griffin (strained left hamstring), point guard Chauncey Billups (left foot tendonitis) and shooting guard Jamal Crawford (sore right shoulder).
Griffin had 13 points and five rebounds; Billups had seven points and four assists, and Crawford had 13 points and three assists.
In addition, Paul and Griffin -- both clearly frustrated by their team's play -- were hit with technical fouls.
Notes: Chalmers left the game midway through the first quarter due to a lower-back strain but returned in the second quarter. ... Bosh missed his second straight game due to the flu. Allen is the latest flu-bug victim, missing the game. ... Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro has noticed a trend with James. "He's going to the post a little more than before," Del Negro said before Friday's game. "There are just so many ways he can put pressure on you." ... Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe is one of six NBA players invited to compete in the dunk contest on All-Star weekend in Houston. Del Negro said Bledsoe has done a good job this season when he has had to fill in at point guard. "He has picked his spots on when to be aggressive," the coach said. "He plays the passing lanes as well as anybody on defense. The experience he got will hopefully make us stronger down the stretch once we get fully healthy." ... The Clippers' six-game road trip continues Sunday with a game against the Knicks and ends Monday in Philadelphia. ... The Heat plays host to the Lakers on Sunday.

King Kong Seeds | Big Buddha
During the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup we were gifted with a hand picked selection of 'Gorilla Glue' seeds which we grew out and selected a really fruity chemmy (Chemdog) hybrid strain. We took this to our test rooms to be pollinated with a White Widow & Cheese feminised pollen. From these results is where we discovered the 'King Kong'.... A multi hybrid strain with some of the best yields we have seen as well as delivering a unique, sour fruit charged taste and a real powerful high synonymous with a combo of white widow, cheese and chemdog!
peace & love, Big Buddha
'King Kong..Go BIG or go home...'
As with all Big Buddha seeds from Original Seeds Store, when you buy King Kong you know you are going to get something really special. And as you can probably guess from the name, King Kong weed seeds are monsters - Big on strength, big on flavour and big on effect. From her Super Bud parentage, this little lady knows how to produce. And as all the King Kong seeds available from Original Seeds Store are feminised cannabis seeds, you know you are going to get results every time. Dense, conical buds are just saturated with the most delicious coating of resin that is a sight to behold, especially when you think flowering is finished in just 7-8 weeks. In the flavour she is skunky and sour, but with an uplifting focused effect that just goes on and on. King Kong cannabis seeds are incredible for relieving pain, nausea and anxiety, and stimulate the appetite so that you will be eating like an ape in no time.
And when this all comes in yields that are going to blow so many other medical marijuana strains out of the water, you will soon realise why King Kong marijuana seeds should be in every serious growers collection.

Proceeds to benefit need-based scholarships for SC State students
ORANGEBURG – SC State brings a longtime black college football rivalry, as well as a weekend of events with a "purpose" to Charleston, S.C., for the second annual Lowcountry Classic, Nov. 16-17.
The signature event of the Lowcountry Classic II is a football game between the Bulldogs of SC State University and the Aggies of N.C. A&T State University on Saturday, Nov. 17, at The Citadel's Johnson Hagood Stadium.
However, the football game and other activities are not what makes this weekend an "Event with a Purpose."
The game and surrounding festivities are designed to raise funds for need-based scholarships at SC State, and organizers hope this year's classic will bring in more than $250,000.
"We've already raised more than $155,000," said Lowcountry Classic II Chairman Maurice Washington, who also serves as chairman of SC State's Board of Trustees. "We've set a goal of $1 million in five years, but aspire to reach it in three."
"It's important to us that we ensure that every student, no matter what their socio-economic status, has the opportunity to pursue an education at SC State," he added.
In addition to the football game, other events surround the classic. Events for Friday, Nov. 16, include a Celebrity Golf Tournament, Chairman's Reception and Silent Auction, HBCU Seafood Jam and a Step Extravaganza.
The Celebrity Golf Tournament, sponsored by the Charleston Chapter of the SC State University National Alumni Association (SCSUNAA), will begin at 10 a.m. at the Charleston Municipal Golf Course, 2110 Maybank Highway, Charleston, SC 29412. Tournament registration will be held between 8:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. For additional information, contact Melvin Williams at (843) 270-6235.
The Lowcountry Classic II Chairman's Reception and Silent Auction will be held from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the ballroom of the Charleston Marriott Hotel, 170 Lockwood Boulevard, Charleston, SC 29403. The reception will feature musical performances by legendary jazz musician Gerald Albright and a special appearance by actor/director Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
The HBCU Seafood Jam, sponsored by the Charleston Chapter of the SCSUNAA, will be held from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Charleston Yacht Club, 17 Lockwood Drive, Charleston, SC 29401. Tickets are $25. To obtain tickets, contact Tim Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Step Extravaganza, hosted by comedian and national radio personality Rudy Rush, will begin at 8 p.m. at The Citadel's McAllister Field House, 171 Moultrie Street, Charleston, SC 29409. The step show will feature teams from nine historically black fraternities and sororities, local high schools, and musical performances from Cupid and DJ Unk. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance through the Lowcountry Classic Web site and $20 at the door.
Events for Saturday, Nov. 17, include a President's Fitness Walk, College Recruitment Fair, Chairman's "Great Tailgate" and, of course, the Lowcountry Classic II Football Game.
The President's Fitness Walk, part of SC State President Andrew Hugine's Health Initiative, will begin at 7 a.m. in Riverfront Park.
A College Recruitment Fair will be held between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. in Burke High School Auditorium, 244 President Street, Charleston, SC 29403. The college recruitment fair will offer on-the-spot admissions and scholarships. High School Seniors are encouraged to bring their official or unofficial high school transcripts and national examination scores to take full advantage of these opportunities. The event will also feature the Coca-Cola Family Festival in the school courtyard. The college fair is sponsored by SC State's Office of Admissions, Recruitment and Scholarships and the Charleston Chapter of the SCSUNAA. For additional information, contact SC State's admissions office at (803) 536-7186 or (800) 260-5956.
The Chairman's "Great Tailgate" will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Johnson Hagood Stadium parking lot, Congress and Hagood Streets, Charleston, S.C.
The Lowcountry Classic II Football Game, featuring the SC State Bulldogs versus the N.C. A&T Aggies, will be held at 1 p.m. in the Johnson Hagood Stadium.
Information on all Lowcountry Classic II events, tickets, tailgating and accommodations is available on-line at www.thelowcountryclassic.com.
The Lowcountry Classic debuted in Charleston in 2006, while SC State completed upgrades to the Oliver C. Dawson Stadium. The first classic proved to be successful enough to prompt classic organizers to make the Charleston-based game an annual event.
"It's a perfect fit [for Charleston]," said Charleston Mayor Joe Riley. "The thought of it being an annual event makes it even more thrilling and even more worthwhile."
"Charleston is a wonderful and supportive community," said Washington. "It supports good causes. If you have a cause that is worthy of its support, this community never fails to rally behind it and that is exactly what has happened with the Lowcountry Classic."

A private interview is a great time to encourage children. It gives the parent an opportunity to ask questions and to share testimony.
Why do interviews?
I want my children to know that we will be regularly asking questions of them. I want them to know that at some point, they will be asked about a variety of pointed topics that they will need to answer. I figure starting at the younger ages will mean that when they are older and I really want these interviews happening, the interviews will just be a part of life. So far, my children all love it.
Who does the interviews?
It can really be either parent. My husband does the interviews for two reasons. One is that I feel like I talk to the children regularly already. This is an opportunity for him to stay in touch with what is going on in life and to also develop a special bond with them. Another reason is he is the head of our household. Now, I am all for strong women and girl power and all that. Being the head doesn't mean he is the final word (or only word); it is serving as Christ served and serves. It is loving and protecting and providing. These interviews definitely do not need to be done by the father; it can be the mother instead. You could take turns. For us, we do father.
Who should be interviewed?
My husband does everyone from Brayden, our oldest age 9, on down to Brinley, our youngest age 2. Brinley's are short :). Even if your child can't talk, you can take the child into the room and share your thoughts and feelings about the child and say a prayer with the child.
What is talked about in an interview?
- I think it is wise to include prayer in the interview. They start with a prayer and end with a prayer. My husband says one prayer and the child says the other.
- The child should be able to talk about any topic. Any subject, problem, experience, or concern should be freely spoken of. It is important to take these concerns seriously. Do not brush them off or tell them their concerns seem big now but someday they will be small. As humans, we learn line upon line. Many of our own concerns now as adults will seem small in retrospect. That doesn't mean they are small now, and the same is true for your children. If you dismiss their concerns, they will have less reason to share their concerns.
- You can ask about how relationships are going. How are sibling relationships? Friends? Teachers? Peers?
- To prompt them to talk, my husband asks questions about what they are involved in. He asks how school is and who they play with at recess. This can lead to other questions coming up naturally. He asks about each activity they are involved in.
- My husband has the child set at least one goal to work on for the month. He asks them if there is anything they want to improve on. He wants it to be their own idea and not him telling them what to improve on. At the next interview, they review the goal and talk about how it is coming. He lets the children set their own goals, though he will help guide them to certain goals if he has seen a need. If they have a hard time, he will bring up anything that has come up in the interview. "Do you think there is anything you might want to improve with your siblings at home?"
- My husband always shares things he appreciates about the child. He shares how he feels about them and things they are good at.
A private interview is a great way to establish a time and place your child can share private concerns. It is a great time for you to ask those hard questions (has anyone tried to show you anything inappropriate at school? What will you do if they do?). It is a great time to connect to your child and share your testimony with your child. We have loved this new tradition, and I can tell it really makes my children feel an extra dose of "you are loved."
