Maintaining your vehicle
Oil change
Today's vehicle engines generally have extended oil‐change intervals beyond 3,000 miles, so it is recommended that you consult the specific maintenance schedule interval in your vehicle's owner manual.
At Sames Ford, an oil change is so much more than just an oil change. When you come in for The Works,® you receive a complete vehicle checkup that includes a synthetic blend oil change, tire rotation and pressure check, brake inspection, Multi‐Point Inspection, fluid top‐off, battery test, and filter, belts and hoses check – all for a very competitive price.
Fluid levels
Spark plugs
Belts and hoses
Belts and hoses play an integral part in your vehicle's performance. As belts age, the rubber becomes brittle, causing it to crack. If the belt is showing signs of wear on its outer edge, this is also a sign that it will need to be replaced.
Since coolant temperature is about 200 degrees, the hoses that carry it are extremely important. A belt or hose failure can cause loss of both power steering and the electrical charging system, as well as an overheated engine. If your engine overheats, this can cause the cylinder heads to warp, resulting in a very expensive repair.
Hoses are generally inspected for softness and swelling, hardening, cracks, chafing and heat damage. If any of these issues are detected, your hoses will need to be replaced.
Brake issues can start out small but worsen over time. Waiting to have them repaired can greatly increase the costs involved. Having your brakes inspected during a routine maintenance visit can help save you both time and money.
Discs should be inspected for rough spots, warping or damage. If they are shiny and show little signs of wear, maintenance is likely not needed. If they are damaged or warped, these parts should be resurfaced or replaced immediately.
Your vehicle has rubber and metal brake lines and both can crack and leak. Our technicians will first examine the rubber hoses to ensure they are soft and don't have cracks. They'll then check the hard metal brake lines for corrosion and leaking. If either is damaged, replacement is recommended.
- Have your tires rotated at every maintenance visit - see your owner's manual for specific recommendations. Tire rotations help ensure that your tires wear evenly, extending their life and the time between new tire purchases.
- Check the pressure of all tires, including your spare, at least once a month when the tires are "cold," meaning that the vehicle hasn't been driven for at least three hours. Recommended air pressure for your tires can be found on the placard typically placed on the driver's side doorjamb.

Forehead Lift Surgery in Turkey, Forehead Lift Surgery in Istanbul
Forehead Lift Surgery Cost in Turkey, Forehead Lift Surgery Price in Istanbul
What Is a Forehead Lift?
A forehead lift is the surgical removal of excess fat and skin, as well as a tightening of the muscles in the forehead area. It can correct sagging brows or deep furrows between the eyes. It is often done in conjunction with a facelift, in order to create a smoother facial appearance overall.
Who are candidates for forehead lift?
A forehead lift can help people of any age who have developed furrows or frown lines due to stress, muscle activity, or inherited conditions, such as a low, heavy brow or furrowed lines above the nose. However, it is most commonly performed on people ages 40 to 60, to minimize the visible effects of aging.
Forehead lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift or eyelid lift surgery.
Types of Forehead Lift
There are two types of surgical techniques available for a forehead lift, including the classic forehead lift and the endoscopic forehead lift:
- In the classic forehead lift, the surgeon will make an incision that is similar to a headphone-like pattern. This incision is called a coronal incision and starts at about ear level and continues across the top of the forehead to the other ear. The surgeon then carefully lifts the skin of the forehead removing any excess tissue and fat and, if necessary, realigns the muscles. During the procedure, the eyebrows may also be repositioned at a higher level, and any excess skin is trimmed.
- The difference between the endoscopic forehead lift and the classic forehead lift is the size of the incision. With the endoscopic forehead lift, the surgeon makes three to five short scalp incisions that are each less than an inch long. An endoscope is then inserted through one of the incisions allowing the surgeon to see the muscles and tissues underneath. In a different incision, the surgeon inserts another instrument that lifts the forehead skin. Excess tissue and fat are then removed and, if necessary, muscles are realigned. Like the classic forehead lift, the eyebrows may also be repositioned at a higher level. The recovery period and scarring is minimal, in comparison to the classic forehead lift.
About the Procedure
Although each procedure varies, generally, forehead lift surgeries follow this process:
Location options include:
- Surgeon's office-based surgical facility
- Outpatient surgery center
- Hospital outpatient
- Hospital inpatient
Location options may include:
- General anesthesia
- Local anesthesia, combined with a sedative (allows the patient to remain awake but relaxed) for adults
Some possible short-term side effects of surgery:
- Numbness and temporary discomfort around the incision(s)
- Swelling that may affect the cheeks and eyes
- Numbness on the top of the scalp may eventually be replaced by itching
- Pain is usually minimal
- Bruising
Possible Complications Associated with Forehead Lifts
Possible complications associated with forehead lift surgeries may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Although rare, the formation of a scar may occur. It can be treated surgically by removing the wide scar tissue, allowing a new, thinner scar to appear.
- Also uncommon is injury to the nerves that control movement of the eyebrows. This can cause the loss of ability to raise the eyebrows or wrinkle the forehead. Surgery may be necessary to correct this problem.
- The loss of sensation around the incision is especially common with the classic forehead lift. Although it is usually temporary, it can be permanent.
- During the endoscopic forehead lift, there is a slight chance of complications arising causing the surgeon to switch techniques and proceed with the classic forehead lift. This can result in a more extensive scar and a longer recovery period.

National side sets score record in Pro Bowl romp
HONOLULU - The Associated PressA handful of shenanigans and plenty of points - yet still another ho-hum Pro Bowl. Whether the NFL's all-star game will return next season is a something the league will ponder the next few months after the NFC's 62-35 blowout of the AFC on Jan. 27.
"It's been an unbelievable week," Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson said, "And the thing was, if you watched us, everybody was competing today and it was really awesome."
Wilson at least got the crowd pumped up in the second half with some nifty scrambles and three passing touchdowns. There was also Houston's sack-happy defensive end J.J. Watt going out for a couple of passes as a wide receiver, and retiring Green Bay center Jeff Saturday snapping to two Mannings on opposite teams.
But while the NFC appeared unstoppable on offense, the AFC had five turnovers and scored most of its points well after the game was no longer competitive.
Entertaining game
Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph was voted the game's MVP with five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.
"Guys were competing, guys wanted to win and want to keep the game here," Rudolph said. "That was the point before the game. We want to keep this game rolling for future Pro Bowlers."
Watt, who had 20-and-a-half sacks for Houston, lined up as a wide receiver on the AFC's third play from scrimmage, but missed a pass from Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. He was targeted one more time, but didn't make a catch.
He later showed a television camera a bloody left pinkie, joking with NBC broadcasters that it was proof that the players were trying.
"Hey, Commish, we're playing hard," Watt said as he showed his finger.
Roger Goodell has said the Pro Bowl won't be played again if play didn't improve this year. Last year, fans in Hawaii booed as lineman were clearly not trying. On one play in that game, Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen did a barrel roll to switch positions with a teammate.
If players were coasting this time around, it was less obvious. The AFC just played poorly. And fans didn't boo much - the stands were relatively empty even though the game sold enough tickets to lift a local television blackout.
The game was trending on Twitter in the United States early on, but quickly gave way to the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the WWE Royal Rumble.
Saturday, retiring at the end of this season, played for both teams, though he came representing the NFC. He lined up on one play for the AFC to snap the ball one last time to Manning, his longtime former Colts teammate.
Saturday said it meant a lot to him that the Broncos quarterback, whom Saturday called a true friend, orchestrated the stunt.
"He's got a little more pull than I got," Saturday said. "He got it all set up and timed up for me, so it was really nice of him to do that."
Saturday played 13 seasons in Indianapolis, all with Manning - except 2011, when Manning was out with a neck injury. Saturday then played later in the game for the NFC, snapping to Peyton's brother, Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
Last play
Saturday's last play on the field was a passing touchdown by Eli Manning. Peyton Manning said it was nice for the NFL to allow the play to happen.
"It's something that I'll always remember," he said, "that he'll always remember to kind of get that one, final snap together after the thousands that we've taken together."
Giants wideout Victor Cruz broke a Pro Bowl record with 10 catches. Tampa Bay receiver Vincent Jackson had 91 yards and two touchdowns. Eli Manning threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns.
Cincinnati's A.J. Green had three TD catches for the AFC.
NFL officials said earlier in the week that the league wants to decide the future of the Pro Bowl by the time next season's schedule is released in April.
"We understood exactly what [Goodell] wanted, guys were making plays all over the field," Cruz said. "There was a little bit more high intensity than in years past and we were excited to play."

Kindergartner Suspended Over Bubble Gun Threat
A 5-year-old girl was suspended from school earlier this week after she made what the school called a "terrorist threat."
Her weapon of choice? A small, Hello Kitty automatic bubble blower.
The kindergartner, who attends Mount Carmel Area Elementary School in Pennsylvania, caught administrators' attention after suggesting she and a classmate should shoot each other with bubbles.
"I think people know how harmless a bubble is. It doesn't hurt," said Robin Ficker, an attorney for the girl's family. According to Ficker, the girl, whose identity has not been released, didn't even have the bubble gun toy with her at school.
The kindergartner was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation during her 10-day suspension, which was later reduced to two days. The evaluation deemed the girl normal and not a threat to others, Ficker said.
The girl's family is considering a lawsuit against the school to get the blemish - all because of bubbles - off their daughter's record.
"The mother has tried to get the girl in another school since this time, and they won't take the little girl because of this mark on her record," Ficker said.
The suspension comes one month after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, which has created a heightened sense of alert at schools across the country.
The Mount Carmel Area School District told ABC News, "We are confident that much of the information supplied to the media may not be consistent with the facts… The Mount Carmel Area School District takes the well-being and safety of students and staff very seriously."
ABC News' Gio Benitez contributed to this report.

Who is Kim Kardashian? Everyone has heard of this sultry socialite, but a lot of people don't know who she is or how her career got started at all. Check out Kim's profile that contains tons of her pics, her biography, trivia and quotes of this reality TV queen of our days.
Kimberly Kardashian is an American socialite, business woman, and star of the reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Kim is known mainly for her public social appearances and notorious sex-tape scandal. The 31-year-old first called public attention through to her profile by friendship with socialite Paris Hilton. Moreover, Kim is also the daughter of attorney Robert Kardashian (1944-2003), who became known in 1994 when his friend and client O.J. Simpson was arrested and tried for double murder.
Being one of Paris Hilton's party pals, Kim lifted her popularity by attempts to stave off the leak of a wicked home video she had made with then-boyfriend Ray J. Nevertheless, despite Kim's alleged legal actions to prevent the tape distribution, it was available on the Internet. Exactly this case made her Paris-like celebrity and led to the creation of the TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which focuses on Kim and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe and their big family. Later, Kim took part in Dancing With the Stars (2008) and appeared in various TV shows. After divorce with music producer Damon Thomas (2004), Kim Kardashian was later dated with a number of men, including Jessica Simpson's ex-husband Nick Lachey and Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush. She married NBA basketball player Kris Humphries in August of 2011, but filed for divorce 72 days later, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Kimberly Kardashian was born in Los Angeles, California, to attorney Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner (nee Houghton). Her dad was a well-known advocated who became even more famous after defending O.J. Simpson when O.J. was tried for the double murder of his wife and her friend. Robert, who was a third generation Armenian American died on 30.9.2003. Kim's mother Kris is of Dutch and Scottish roots. She divorced Robert in in 1989 and married Bruce Jenner, a former sportsman.
Kim has two sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, and a brother, Robert. Moreover, she has two stepbrothers – Burton and Brandon Jenner, a step-sister Brody Jenner and two half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Kim attended an all-girl's Catholic school in Los Angeles.
Sex tape scandal was the starting point to 'stardom' of Kim Kardashian. Kim built a life in the spotlight around. Kardashian's first television role was on Beyond the Break. The she continued with a reality TV series, named Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which starred her and her family and aired on the E! channel in the US. By October 2011, the series has aired 69 episodes over six seasons and has three spin-offs.
Kardashian was one of 13 participants on the seventh season of Dancing with the Stars. Mark Ballas was her partner. Kim was the third contestant voted off the show on September 30, 2008, finishing in 11th place overall.
Kardashian is the producer of The Spin Crowd, a reality television show about Command PR, a New York City public relations firm, led by her pals Jonathan Cheban and Simon Huck. The show follows them as they settle into their new offices in Los Angeles. Cheban appears in Kim's shows very often.
Kim also appeared at the 2010 MTV VMAs on September 12, 2010. Then she She was the subject and judge of a task on the ninth episode of Season 10 of The Apprentice in 2010; the two teams had to create an in-store display for her new perfume line, to be sold at Perfumania.
In 2011, Kourtney and Kim Take New York premiered on E!, after they opened a D-A-S-H boutique in New York City. The series is the second of three spin-offs from Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the first being Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and the third being Khloé & Lamar. As of January 2012, the series has aired two seasons.
Kardashian is a co-owner of a clothing boutique called D-A-S-H with her sisters Kourtney and Khloé. In December 2007, Kardashian posed nude for Playboy. In February 2008, Bongo Jeans hired her as their face model. She has also advertised Carl's Jr., Sugar Factory lollipops, and plenty of other products.
Kardashian starred in the 2008 disaster film spoof Disaster Movie as Lisa, and appeared in the How I Met Your Mother episode Benefits. She also appeared on the Season 3 premiere of the series 90210 with her sisters Khloé and Kourtney; they all played themselves.

On December 16, 2009, Kardashian made a guest star appearance on CBS's CSI: NY with Vanessa Minnillo. In 2009 she had a cameo as club bouncer in the 2009 porn film spoof Deep in the Valley.
Sanford Siegal, the creator of the Cookie Diet, sued Kardashian, claiming she defamed him on Twitter. According to Siegal, Kardashian tweeted in October 2009 that he was "falsely promoting" that she was on the cookie diet. Siegal filed a claim in a Florida state court claiming the statements are false and defamatory. He also alleges that Kardashian was on QuickTrim's payroll when she posted the tweet. Kardashian's tweet appears to stem from an article on CookieDiet.com, that named Kardashian as one of many celebrities who saw positive results on the diet. Kardashian sent a cease-and-desist order to Siegal, demanding the link be removed.
In 2000, Kardashian married music producer Damon Thomas; but four years later they got divorced. Afterward she dated R&B singer Ray J, NFL star Reggie Bush and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin. She also dated model Gabriel Aubry.

In late April 2007, Kardashian dropped the suit and settled with Vivid Entertainment for $5 million.
Kardashian has supported the recognition of the Armenian Genocide on numerous occasions and has encouraged Barack Obama and the United States government to consider its acknowledgement. On April 21, 2011, a few days before the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, she wrote about the issue on her blog in an effort to put it under spotlight and also sent a tweet to her fans urging its recognition.
Kardashian began dating NBA player Kris Humphries of the New Jersey Nets in October 2010. They got engaged in May 2011, and married on August 20, 2011 in Montecito, California. A two-part TV special showing the preparations and the wedding itself aired on E! in early October 2011, amidst what the Washington Post called a "media blitz" related to the wedding. After 72 days of marriage, Kardashian filed for divorce from Humphries on October 31, 2011, citing irreconcilable differences. After filing for the divorce, Kardashian asked the court to order Humphries to pay his own legal expenses. On December 1, 2011, Humphries filed his response to Kardashian's petition, requesting an annulment on the grounds of fraud or if the court will not grant an annulment, a decree of legal separation rather than Kardashian's requested divorce. Several news outlets have surmised that Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries was merely a publicity stunt to promote the Kardashian family's brand and their subsequent television ventures. Her former publicist has also claimed that her short-lived wedding was indeed staged and a ploy to generate money. Kardashian has since filed suit against him, saying his claims were untrue. A widely circulated petition asking to remove all Kardashian related programing off the air has been followed since their split.

By her sisters, Kim is known as the diva of the family.
Kim: (about bullies) I always hated the people that would bully kids, the girls that were so forceful and just catty and rude,… …I was always neutral, friends with different cliques. I like to think I was popular, but I was pretty quiet. I was a little shy.
Kim: I feel lazy when I'm not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me, and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was, 'I know you're gonna be OK. I'm not worried about you.'
Kim: I am Armenian, so of course I am obsessed with laser hair removal! Arms, bikini, legs, underarms…my entire body is hairless.
Kim: I have to be in a relationship in order to be intimate. I'm not the one-night-stand kind of girl. Despite the rumors.
Kim: I don't even drink! I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year's Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick. So I don't touch booze – I'm always the designated driver.
Kim: You make mistakes, but I don't have any regrets. I'm the kind of person who takes responsibility for it and deals with it. I learn from everything I do. I work very hard, I have so many things going on in my life. Get to know me and see who I am.
Kim: I work out a lot but my New Year's resolution is to eat better. I eat way too much sugar. In fact I ate two sachets of sugar on my way to this interview. You have to work out. Growing up with my step-dad [former Olympic decathlon gold medalist] and my mum, who have both advertised exercise equipment, it was instilled in us that you have to work out. Bruce would always ride bikes and we all love to work out.
Kim: The perfect date for me would be staying at home, making a big picnic in bed, eating Wotsits and cookies while watching cable TV.
Kim: White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white.
Kim: I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others. Please drink responsibly and it's never acceptable to drink and drive!
Kim: Holidays are the best. I couldn't imagine being from a small family.
Kim: I've just had enough of people misrepresenting me. Get to know me and see who I am.
Kim: You have to have fun with it (paparazzi), you have to be cool with it.
Kim: (on the public attention to her posterior) I have no idea where this all attention came from. I have always dressed the same – it's nothing new. I think people just started picking up on it – I don't even know how it happened. And there are all these rumours about whether it's fake or if it's real.
Kim: That we're all trust-fund kids and we have it so easy. If anything, I find it the complete opposite. I know people think we drive around in these nice cars and we do whatever we want and our parents will pay our credit cards, but that's not the case. Sure, my parents were generous; I got a nice car at 16, but at 18 I was cut off. I've worked really hard. I opened the store myself. Even Paris and Nicole-they're completely independent, too.
Kim: (after being told Britney Spears fancied her) She said she loves me, and loves my butt and how she wants to be my lesbian lover. I mean, what do you say to that other than 'no thanks'. Actually, maybe I would do it for a million bucks.
love you
Kim, come to Africa. You have fans here.

Sunday Sound Out
Julian is still hanging on and fighting. He amazes me. Even more so, his mother amazes me. Although her little boy is dying before her eyes, she exhibits such strong faith. It's really inspiring.
I'm meeting a fellow blogger for lunch tomorrow! Any guesses as to who it is? I may or may not eat lunch, but I'm definitely getting some Tirimisu for dessert! I'll have pictures tomorrow night because whether my blogger friend likes it or not, I'm having our waiter take pictures of us! :D
Now for your questions...
(In regards to the video Clay made when he swiped Austin's camera...) But the real question...how did the mess on the floor get there? Was it Clay or Austin??!!?!?
I think it came with the house because it's been there as long as I can remember.
HEEELPP!! I can't see the videos you post!
You have to open your eyes.
(In regards to the video Clay made while swiping Austin's camera...) thanks for the video - who would have thought that your house was to quiet with 6 kids??? I was thinking for some reason that it would be a noisy house, but the video proved me wrong!
HA! The baby was sleeping, the other kids were at school and Clay was quiet because he was being sneaky. If I ever made a video of dinnertime at my house, I'd scare you guys silly.
Did you scream at him for wasting a fish?
Oh heck no! You couldn't pay me to eat fish, Kool aid or not. Besides, according to hubby and kids, the fish had freezer burn which really doesn't surprise me. It had probably been in the freezer for 4 1/2 years because when I'm at the grocery store I buy the healthy stuff. I buy fish, and lettuce, and tomatoes, and all sorts of wonderful produce. Then I get home, put it away, and promptly forget about it until it has positively liquefied at which point I throw it away. Very economical, no?
Just curious if your husband reads your blog. It drives me crazy when my wife tells our friends/families about the stupid things I do, you multiply that by thousands. Maybe it helps that you also blog about the crazy things you do.
Yeah, he reads it. It doesn't bother him. And yeah, you're right - I do almost as many stupid things as he does. Almost. He's a good guy though. He puts up with my mood swings. I mean, he would put up with my mood swings if I had them. Which I don't. Why are you yelling at me?!!!
The only thing I have to add is -
Good thing it wasn't that lady's $60 roast that he marinated in Koolaid!
Baaaaa! My poor reader and her $60 roast! You're never going to hear the end of it, huh? :)
(In regards to the Kool Aid fish...) What in the world was he thinking?
He tries not to.
I love Dr. Seuss. My favorite is Go Dog Go! (Do you like my hat?)
I do! What a hat! I like it! I like that party hat!
Why can't they just follow a recipe?
Because men think that following a recipe, reading the instructions, or stopping for directions is cheating.
Is there a due date for our part of the assignment?
It's an ongoing assignment that will run until May. And for those who asked if it mattered where you're from - not at all. You send a card/letter from anywhere. We're all looking forward to seeing where all the cards come from.
Maybe I have missed it somewhere, but what does Etsy mean????
I'm not sure if Etsy stands for anything, but it's kinda like an online craft show. People can sell their homemade items on Etsy (kinda like eBay or Amazon, but for handcrafted items.) We've done several reviews for Etsy shops on Mamaslike.
I don't really understand the UFO thing, though. I wish I could pause the slide show to see it better. It just looks like part of a stadium to me. Is there a story?
Soldier Field used to look like the first picture - a great building with very cool, Greco-Roman architecture. In 2003, they remodeled Soldier Field by plopping a big, stupid looking spaceship on top of it (in the second picture). Because of that, it's no longer a national landmark.
Dawn--you HAVE to be kidding that he used green lemon/lime KoolAid! Please tell me you are not serious???
I couldn't make this stuff up!
Just reading todays blog and Ive had an immediate picture in my mind of the poor lad Harry Potter when the owls delivered all of the mail in one day.
Haaaaa!!! I'm watching Harry Potter right now! That's pretty funny!
I can't wait because I get to send Austin a letter from Austin, TX! Man, is he going to get a ton of mail!
Very cool! He just said, "I wonder if I'll get something from Austin, TX?"
How do you manage to have a water/ice dispenser on your fridge? My floor would be littered with ice and water.
When our fridge died a couple years ago, we looked and looked for one without the dispenser, but they were really hard to come by. Apparently they don't make many like that anymore. And I frequently have a puddle around the water dispenser.
Ack!!! the top of the fridge is my spot too!!! Where will we keep the knives?!?!?!?!?!
I don't know!!! I thought and thought about this, but I can't think of a better spot for the knives. Instead, I just took the bowl of goodies down so he doesn't have a reason to climb up there anymore.
Nice job with the video editing--it looked like you used Microsoft Movie Maker, is that right?
Hee hee, um yeah. I did a great job, huh? I'm just talented that way. My son had nothing to do with it. He didn't help me one little bit. No sirree. I figured all that out on my own, I did.
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with my vacuum sitting out when not in use.
Why put it away when I'll just have to drag it back out in 5 minutes...
Maybe you should decorate a cardboard box with pictures of veggies and stick the cookies in there. THAT would turn the kids away for sure.
LOL! Nope, actually I'm blessed with really good eaters. My kids love veggies.
How do you keep the kids from playing on the video games 24/7?
Are you supposed to do that?
And plus, YOU BUY YOUR KIDS COOKIES? WAY COOL! Hee hee hee!
I got them for Jax (who's obsessed with those cookies) because he'd had a really bad day and because we're going to be putting him (well, all of us really) back on the Feingold diet. His behavior has been really off lately and the diet (which eliminates artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives) helped with his behavior and self control tremendously when we were on it before. The main reason we stopped the diet is because we simply couldn't afford it. Why is it that healthy food costs so much more than junk? Anyway, we're going back to that next week, so it was a treat for him.
By name...How many ER visits, due to injuries, have there been for each child?
:::Snort::: Like I can remember all those???
Put it this way, we're on a first name basis with the doctors at the ER.
so do you have any good advice on how to have a girl? :)
Just give away all your saved girl clothes.
A question for next week... see, I am helping you out and it's only Monday!...where did you go to college and what did you major in (other than grammar, HA)?
Actually, I didn't go to college.
When you put up the questions for the Sunday Shout Out, do you cull them over the course of the week, picking out your favorites to save, or do you wait until Sunday and then go through all the comments to choose what to answer?
I go through all of them again on Sunday.
It seems like large families are prone to receiving negative comments. How do you deal and cope with these comments? From your blog, it seems you are able to find humor in them. Or at least deal with them in a humerous way. Do they secretly offend you or are you really that lighthearted? Will there be a chapter in your book about dealing with comments and defending one's family in a positive manner?
Negative comments absolutely do not bother me. I generally ignore them because they're from ignorant people who don't know what they're talking about. I don't have the time or the inclination to defend myself to a stranger who thinks they know everything based on the little bits I write on my blog. Or sometimes I publish them because they're just so darn stupid they're funny. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but this is MY blog and I won't be publishing stupid or mean comments that are intended to judge or insult me or my awesome readers.
Alright...last Sunday someone asked the question about how you do the line crossed through certain words with blogger. I was EXCITED! Not so excited for your answer! Share your secret :)! Pretty please with sugar on top, and whipped cream and a cherry....{see know I probably sounded like one of your children :)!}
OK, since you said, "please". You can either use < "s" > word you want to cross out < / s > or you can use < "del" > word you want to cross out < / del >. Just don't put the quotations marks or spaces between each character.
And I have a Sunday Shout Out question I have been dying to ask, and not sure if you've ever addressed it on the blog, and maybe it's even worthy of a complete post? How on earth do you feed a family of 8 dinner every night? I would love to know how you organize that, and what do you feed them??
Good question. Brooklyn had a late nap and is still awake, climbing on my lap right now. I'm having a hard time typing, so I'll pull together some tips and address this later this week.

So glad to hear someone has the same wasteful shopping/refrigeration techniques that I do. I keep thinking there must be a better way to keep the frig/freezer organized so things don't get lost, but we're always digging up items from the land that time forgot.

Since your husband reads your blog... I think that he should know that Kool-aid line-green chicken is near genius.
Don't forget, they laughed at the Wright Brothers!
Hang in their chef - and burn those recipes! They'll only hinder your creative flow!

Hi Dawn. I'm a brand new blogger to this neck of the woods. I decided move over here because your blogs were recently introduced to me and I loved them. I was inspired to make a change. You don't know me, but - thankyou.
I'm hoping to get to know people on Blogspot and thought I would start with you :-)

I just wanted to say hi to you from Norway. I am 34, mum to a six year old boy, a three year old girl and stepmum to a 20 year old boy. I am reading your blog every day, and I ham laughing so much!! Beeing a mother is a gift isn't it. It really makes us charish our sense of humour.
- January 14, 2008 at 4:36 AM
Thank you for the updates on Julian. I signed up for his Care Page (and someone else's I know) and i get the e-mails so its always funny to see who tells me first there is an update.
i like the video of Clay, but I can't watch it around my kids becuase they don't need more ideas.
- January 14, 2008 at 7:35 AM
I love "Go, Dog, Go", too!
But it isn't a Dr. Seuss book...its by P.D. Eastman.
Having remembered it fondly from my childhood, I went to buy it for my son and was very surprised to find it wasn't by Dr. Seuss. :)

We have 5 kids. My problem is cooking when some of them are gone. One time last year most were gone and it was just me and 2 kids. We ate out because I didn't know what to fix for only 3 people. Then I realized most people only have 2 kids. My friend burst out laughing when I told her.
- January 14, 2008 at 8:27 AM
Hi Dawn, I am guessing the readers roast was a prime rib roast. That would have cost 60.00. I have a question. Do you plan on sending the kids to college? Are you saving for it now? We only have 0ne child and can't even save for him. I bet you will beable to send them after you sell a million books! Kristine in Michigan.
- January 14, 2008 at 8:46 AM
I hate to be THAT reader. Go Dog Go is not by Dr Seuss but by P.D. Eastman. The librarian in me insisted I correct that.

Great sound out! Thanks! It really makes Monday mornings a bit more bearable.
Speaking of BEARable - I was SHOCKED to see Soldier Field! Waaaah! I had no idea they re-did it. I prefer the landmark it was.
Looking forward to your dinner tips as that has been a question I've had for you as well!
- January 14, 2008 at 9:34 AM
I always sort of thought Etsy stood for Etc. (like if you said it out loud -- et see). Which makes sense considering the wide variety of products they have on their website. just a though

Healthy food doesn't have to be more expensive than junk, but you do have to take more time planning and cooking (not that you have a lot of time with six kids!). You might look for the Desparation Dinners cookbooks, as well as the Cooking Light Superfast Suppers cookbook. They are both really helpful at getting a from-scratch (mostly, anyway) meal on the table FAST. I dont' have six kids, but I do work full-time and get home at 5:30 and cook dinner every night (fussy family).

Tell your husband that my husband actually made green eggs and ham when our 20 year old was 3. He thought he was so clever for doing it, he even took pictures.

Just a tip for the next time your refrigerator goes out. When we bought our house a few years ago the old occupants left a fridge behind. We went looking for a fridge and discovered that Whirlpool made a model that was just the refrigerator (no freezer). We got the fridge only version since we had the little freezer in the fridge that was left behind. We planned on buying a deep freezer later, but inherited one so we didn't have to buy. The fridge only version does not have a water or ice dispenser. The front has only one handle and is flat. It is wonderful having that much food space for our family of eight.

Thanks so much for your blog. Your a breath of fresh air! I am a mom of 7 so I totally am there with you! LOL I'm just not good with words like you are! To describe my days.
- January 14, 2008 at 11:28 AM
FYI - Dr Seuss didn't write Go, Dog, Go -- P.D. Eastman did. I find a LOT of people have that misconception. Please don't perpetuate it! Maybe if enough people read it on this blog, a chain reaction will start and give that wonderful author his due recognition!

Good luck with the Feingold diet again. I have heard many wonderful things about it. AND, YES!!! healthy food does cost more than junk. I try to justify the cost by saying that it offsets the cost of medicine and copays for doctors. It must be a conspiracy. :-D

I was wondering why there were no comments yet and realized: OH, that's cuz you were out with ME for lunch!!!!
(still quietly glowing inside, not only from the wine, but from such a great time! ... and laughing that so many of my questions at lunch--ER visits, cookies, etc were answered here on Sunday Shout Out!)

Dear god you must be a saint. I'm just starting out on number one and he's isn't even walking yet. How you've gotten up to 6 kids and kept your sanity is beyond me. Found your site a coulple of days ago through a link about the pokemon cards. Kudos to you for selling them on ebay.
Little Pepito
P.s. While its great that your little boy trusts you so much to show you his neat climibing trick, I think I would have killed the kid for climbing up the fridge to steal the cookie. Heaven help me I'm expecting my own to do the sameone day. ^-^

Sorry to burst your bubble folks, but Dr Seuss did not write the book "Go Dog Go". The author and illustrator of that book, as well as many others is P. D. Eastman. I thought you might be interested in the following that I found on Wikipedia:
Philip Dey Eastman (November 25, 1909–January 7, 1986) was a screenwriter and children's author.
A protegé of Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss), Eastman wrote many books for children, in his own distinct style under the Dr. Seuss brand of Random House Beginner Books, including:
Are You My Mother?
Go, Dog. Go!
The Best Nest
Flap Your Wings
The Cat in the Hat Beginner Book Dictionary
Red, Stop! Green, Go! (
What Time is it?
Sam and the Firefly
Sam and Gus Light Up the Night
Big Dog... Little Dog, with additional illustrations by Peter Anthony Eastman
"My Nest Is Best"
"The Alphabet Book"
He was the illustrator for many more:
A Fish Out of Water, by Helen Palmer
Robert the Rose Horse, by Joan Heilbroner
I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words, by Michael K. Frith )
I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words, by Michael K. Frith
He wrote:
Snow, illustrated by Roy McKie
Big Dog...Little Dog: A Bedtime Story

Hi Dawn, Re: The Feingold diet - have a look at the following website http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/ as it is a similar diet but in my experience better!
- January 14, 2008 at 5:37 PM
I gave up hiding things in the kitchen cause those kids of mine can sniff out anything nice at 30 paces. I now hide things in the laundry cupboard behind the washing powder because I know it will be a cold day in hell before they venture in there!

Hi Dawn, I noticed you mentioned starting back on the Feingold Diet and I was wondering what you are "treating" with this diet? Our 3.5 yo is autistic and we are about to start down the "fun" road of alternative treatments. Always looking to other moms for suggestions. Thanks again... And I found Julian and read back through most of Mimi's posts. I have been hugging my kids harder this week.

about the comment about large families, i come from a large family, 7 kids, 3 boys 4 girls (2 were twins). we always got negative remarks, but i wouldn't trade any of them for anything. if you had asked me when i was a kid though, i would have said take them all!

Hey Dawn,
This is in regards to comments people make about big families. I have 2 kids and a stepdaughter, and that's enough for me, although I also did daycare when they were little, so I had my fill of a house full of kids. This past weekend at hockey, some parents were discussing families with more than 2 kids, and they were flabbergasted by the mere thought of a person having more than 2 kids. One of them even said she was sure glad her kids were 6 years apart, or she wouldn't have been able to handle it!! Both her and her husband have extremely well paying jobs, and let me tell you they want for nothing, take several vacations a year, spend time in hotels for tournaments (when I drive back and forth to save $$), eat out, etc. They just couldn't understand how people could afford to clothe more than 2 kids. I was flabbergasted! I didn't know how to tell them - it's a different lifestyle, but an even more rewarding one than having ALL the STUFF! I was speechless - hard to do!!!

"You can either use <> word you want to cross out < / s > or you can use <> word you want to cross out < / del >. Just don't put the spaces between each character. "
Is this just for Blogger? Do you have to highlight the word? This really didn't make sense; can you explain in more detail. I'm sorry...I'm computer illiterate!!!

For decades, it has been obvious that there are irreconcilable differences between Americans who want to control the lives of others and those who wish to be left alone. Which is the more peaceful solution: Americans using the brute force of government to beat liberty-minded people into submission or simply parting company? In a marriage, where vows are ignored and broken, divorce is the most peaceful solution. Similarly, our constitutional and human rights have been increasingly violated by a government instituted to protect them. Americans who support constitutional abrogation have no intention of mending their ways.
Since Barack Obama's re-election, hundreds of thousands of petitions for secession have reached the White House. Some people have argued that secession is unconstitutional, but there's absolutely nothing in the Constitution that prohibits it. What stops secession is the prospect of brute force by a mighty federal government, as witnessed by the costly War of 1861. Let's look at the secession issue.
At the 1787 constitutional convention, a proposal was made to allow the federal government to suppress a seceding state. James Madison, the acknowledged father of our Constitution, rejected it, saying: "A Union of the States containing such an ingredient seemed to provide for its own destruction. The use of force against a State would look more like a declaration of war than an infliction of punishment and would probably be considered by the party attacked as a dissolution of all previous compacts by which it might be bound."
On March 2, 1861, after seven states had seceded and two days before Abraham Lincoln's inauguration, Sen. James R. Doolittle of Wisconsin proposed a constitutional amendment that said, "No State or any part thereof, heretofore admitted or hereafter admitted into the Union, shall have the power to withdraw from the jurisdiction of the United States."
Several months earlier, Reps. Daniel E. Sickles of New York, Thomas B. Florence of Pennsylvania and Otis S. Ferry of Connecticut proposed a constitutional amendment to prohibit secession. Here's my no-brainer question: Would there have been any point to offering these amendments if secession were already unconstitutional?
On the eve of the War of 1861, even unionist politicians saw secession as a right of states. Rep. Jacob M. Kunkel of Maryland said, "Any attempt to preserve the Union between the States of this Confederacy by force would be impractical, and destructive of republican liberty."
The Northern Democratic and Republican parties favored allowing the South to secede in peace. Just about every major Northern newspaper editorialized in favor of the South's right to secede. New York Tribune (Feb. 5, 1860): "If tyranny and despotism justified the Revolution of 1776, then we do not see why it would not justify the secession of Five Millions of Southrons from the Federal Union in 1861." Detroit Free Press (Feb. 19, 1861): "An attempt to subjugate the seceded States, even if successful, could produce nothing but evil — evil unmitigated in character and appalling in content." The New York Times (March 21, 1861): "There is growing sentiment throughout the North in favor of letting the Gulf States go."
There's more evidence seen at the time our Constitution was ratified. The ratification documents of Virginia, New York and Rhode Island explicitly said that they held the right to resume powers delegated, should the federal government become abusive of those powers. The Constitution would have never been ratified if states thought that they could not maintain their sovereignty.
The War of 1861 settled the issue of secession through brute force that cost 600,000 American lives. Americans celebrate Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, but H.L. Mencken correctly evaluated the speech, "It is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense." Lincoln said that the soldiers sacrificed their lives "to the cause of self-determination — that government of the people, by the people, for the people should not perish from the earth." Mencken says: "It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of people to govern themselves."

NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 26: A cyclist waits to cross the street while a winter snow storm hits the region on December 26, 2012 in New York City. Snow, mixed with and changing to rain, is expected to hit the New York City area this afternoon into the evening. Credit: Getty Images
(AP) -- A powerful winter storm system pounded the nation's midsection Wednesday and headed toward the Northeast, where people braced for the high winds and heavy snow that disrupted holiday travel, knocked out power to thousands of homes and were blamed in at least six deaths.
Hundreds of flights were canceled or delayed, scores of motorists got stuck on icy roads or slid into drifts, and blizzard warnings were issued amid snowy gusts of 30 mph that blanketed roads and windshields, at times causing whiteout conditions.
"The way I've been describing it is as a low-end blizzard, but that's sort of like saying a small Tyrannosaurus rex," said John Kwiatkowski, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
The system, which spawned Gulf Coast region tornadoes on Christmas Day and a historic amount of snow in Arkansas, pushed through the Upper Ohio Valley and headed toward the Northeast. Forecasts called for 12 to 18 inches of snow inland from western New York to Maine starting late Wednesday and into Thursday and tapering off into a mix of rain and snow closer to the coast, where little accumulation was expected in such cities as New York and Boston.
The storm left freezing temperatures in its aftermath, and forecasters also said parts of the Southeast from Virginia to Florida would see severe thunderstorms.

Schools on break and workers taking holiday vacations meant that many people could avoid messy commutes, but those who had to travel were implored to avoid it. Snow was blamed for scores of vehicle accidents as far east as Maryland, and about two dozen counties in Indiana and Ohio issued snow emergency travel alerts, urging people to go out on the roads only if necessary.
Some 40 vehicles got bogged down trying to make it up a slick hill in central Indiana, and four state snowplows slid off roads as snow fell at the rate of 3 inches an hour in some places.
Two passengers in a car on a sleet-slickened Arkansas highway were killed Wednesday in a head-on collision, and two people, including a 76-year-old Milwaukee woman, were killed Tuesday on Oklahoma highways. Deaths from wind-toppled trees were reported in Texas and Louisiana.

The day after a holiday wasn't expected to be particularly busy for AAA, but its Cincinnati-area branch had its busiest Wednesday of the year. By mid-afternoon, nearly 400 members had been helped with tows, jump starts and other aid, with calls still coming in, spokesman Mike Mills said.
Jennifer Miller, 58, was taking a bus Wednesday from Cincinnati to visit family in Columbus.
"I wish this had come yesterday and was gone today," she said, struggling with a rolling suitcase and three smaller bags on a slushy sidewalk near the station. "I'm glad I don't have to drive in this."
Traffic crawled at 25 mph on Interstate 81 in Maryland, where authorities reported scores of accidents.
"We're going to try to go down south and get below" the storm, said Richard Power, traveling from home in Levittown, N.Y., to Kentucky with his wife, two children and their beagle, Lucky. He said they were well on their way until they hit snow in Pennsylvania, then 15-mph traffic on I-81 at Hagerstown, Md. "We're going to go as far as we can go. ... If it doesn't get better, we're going to just get a hotel."
More than 1,400 flights were canceled by evening, according to FlightAware.com, and some airlines said they would waive change fees. Delays of more than an hour were reported Wednesday at the three New York City-area airports, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
In Arkansas, some of the nearly 200,000 people who lost power could be without it for as long as a week because of snapped poles and wires after ice and 10 inches of snow coated power lines, said the state's largest utility, Entergy Arkansas. Gov. Mike Beebe sent out National Guard teams, and Humvees transported medical workers and patients. Snow hadn't fallen in Little Rock on Christmas since 1926, but the capital ended Tuesday with 10.3 inches of it.
Other states also had scattered outages. Duke Energy said it had nearly 300 outages in Indiana, with few left in Ohio by early afternoon after scores were reported in the morning.
As the storm moved east, New England state highway departments were treating roads and getting ready to mobilize with snowfall forecasts of a foot or more that was expected to start falling late Wednesday and through Thursday.
"People are picking up salt and a lot of shovels today," said Andy Greenwood, an assistant manager at Aubuchon Hardware in Keene, N.H.
As usual, winter-sports enthusiasts welcomed the snow. At Smiling Hill Farm in Maine, Warren Knight was hoping for enough snow to allow the opening of trails.
"We watch the weather more carefully for cross-country skiing than we do for farming. And we're pretty diligent about farming. We're glued to the weather radio," said Knight, who described the weather at the 500-acre farm in Westbrook as being akin to the prizes in "Cracker Jacks - we don't know what we're going to get."
Behind the storm, Mississippi's governor declared states of emergency in eight counties with more than 25 people reported injured and 70 homes left damaged.
Cindy Williams, 56, stood near a home in McNeill, Miss., where its front had collapsed into a pile of wood and brick, a balcony and the porch ripped apart. Large oak trees were uprooted and winds sheared off treetops in a nearby grove. But she focused instead on the fact that all her family members had escaped harm.
"We are so thankful," she said. "God took care of us."

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive literature review about albinism as an inherited metabolic disorder of melanin synthesis along with those related conditions impacting the visual system. As such, it addresses eye care emphasizing the visual consequences of albinism along with diagnostic and treatment options. Methods: Background knowledge about ocular development is given as well as information about etiological biochemical and genetic processes. The current classification, clinical findings and their assessment and management options are presented based on recent results of research. In conclusion, two case reports are described as examples of visual care options. Results: Melanin plays a big role in the retinal and chiasmal development. Melanin biosynthesis can be disrupted by different genes in various ways which leads to the current classification of albinism. Clinical findings include fundus hypopigmenta-tion, nystagmus, iris transillumination, photophobia, foveal hypoplasia, excessive chiasmal decussation, reduced visual acuity, high astigmatism (with-the-rule), strabismus and decreased stereopsis. Treatment options to improve visual acuity, fixation and binocularity are (tinted) prescription lenses and contact lenses, low vision aids, surgical procedures and vision therapy. Medication and supplementa-tion for increased pigmentation are currently being tested on mice. Conclusions: Albinism is caused by genetic mutations resulting in ocular and cutaneous hypopigmentation. It establishes various phenotypes that require different therapy approaches in order to improve vision and therefore quality of life.

Lindsay Lohan -- ARRESTED FOR FIGHTING
Lindsay Lohan ARRESTED FOR FIGHTING
Lindsay Lohan was ARRESTED at 4 AM Thursday in New York City for allegedly punching a woman at a New York City nightclub ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Our sources say Lohan was at Club Avenue when she got into some sort of argument with a female patron and it became physical. We're told cops came and arrested Lindsay for allegedly assaulting her.
Law enforcement tells us prior to the fight words were exchanged between Lindsay and the woman as they sat in separate booths near each other. Lindsay said something to the effect of, "Give me my space." Some time passed and then, for some reason, Lindsay allegedly punched the girl in the left side of her face.
We're told by the time cops arrived Lindsay had left the club and was a passenger in a car that was leaving the area. Cops intercepted the car and made the arrest.
While Lohan was in cuffs, she kept repeating, "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?"
Lindsay was booked for 3rd degree misdemeanor assault, given a desk appearance ticket (meaning she must show up in court in the near future) and released several hours after she was taken into custody. Law enforcement says she was "visibly tired" at the station.
We're told investigators went back to the club looking for security footage of the alleged altercation.
And this isn't Lindsay's only legal problem. TMZ broke the story ... she is about to be charged with lying to cops in June after her car accident on Pacific Coast Highway. She told them she was a passenger in the Porsche when actually she was driving.
And, if Lindsay is formally charged with the latest crime, it could trigger yet another probation violation.
Story developing ...

< Features
Initial Experience
After installing a new Fedora desktop system there are a few essential things to set up before use. We want to provide a simple, easy, and safe way to do these things.
- Name: Matthias Clasen, Jasper St. Pierre
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 19
- Last updated: 2012-09-07
- Percentage of completion: 50%
A functioning prototype of the initial-setup application and its gdm integration has been written and the complete application is targeted for GNOME 3.6, see http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/Features/InitialSetup. We have a 0.2 release that is currently undergoing package review.
Since we have not gotten things testable in time for F18, the new plan is to get the package reviewed and available in F18, and only do the integration in gdm for F19. This also gives us more time to coordinate with the anaconda team to avoid overlap with the installer.
Detailed Description
The initial-setup application will be started during the first boot of a newly installed Fedora desktop. It walks the user through a few essential setup setups:
- Show EULA/license screens (not sure if we really need this for Fedora, but the initial-setup application will support showing licenses/EULAs in a generic way)
- Select your language
- Get on the network
- Create a local user account or connect to an enterprise system
- Set the system time/location
- Optionally, show legacy firstboot screens
- Set up online accounts, such as gmail or exchange
The first few of these steps supersede equivalent firstboot functionality, and we expect that initial-setup will replace firstboot for the desktop spin. In contrast to firstboot, which
- runs halfway through the graphical boot
- uses a different environment and
- ends up on the login screen, initial-setup will
- replace the login screen (only for the first boot),
- use the same environment as the regular desktop and
- smoothly transition into the user session
We also want to offer a 'tour' of the GNOME 3 desktop at the end of the setup tasks, to help new users find their way in GNOME 3.
The gdm mode of running an application instead of the login screen, with the option to smoothly transition into a user session may also be used to run the 'try-or-install?' application on the live cd, before starting the liveuser session. Doing things this way will allow us to offer a language choice for the liveuser session in the 'try-or-install?' application (which is something we've lost when we switched to autologin for the liveuser).
Benefit to Fedora
We will provide an improved and smoother initial experience for new users of the Fedora desktop, and let them configure relevant parts of GNOME so that they end up on a fully functional desktop after going through the initial setup. In addition, the install experience of the desktop spin may be improved.
- complete the initial-setup application
- license/eula support in initial-setup needs to be implemented (DONE)
- add support for enterprise accounts (DONE)
- investigate including legacy firstboot screens (#677787)
- the initial-setup application needs to be packaged review
- gnome-shell needs a 'kiosk' mode that is suitable for use in this scenario (DONE)
- affected packages
- gdm
- gnome-shell
- firstboot
- the 'tour' part needs to be designed and implemented
- later on, the gdm integration can to be made flexible enough to accommodate the livecd 'try-or-install' use case
How To Test
- Boot a desktop livecd. Verify that you first see the 'try-or-install' application. Choosing 'try' should smoothly transition to the liveuser sssion, similar to the F17 livecd experience. Choosing 'install' should run the installer.
- Boot a freshly installed desktop system for the first time. Verify that you don't end on the login screen, but see the initial-setup application.
- Verify that all the screens of the initial-setup application function as expected and the settings are persisted into the newly created user account
- Reboot the system again. Verify that you don't get the initial-setup application again, but instead go to the login screen (or autologin, depending on the choices made when creating the user account)
- Touch the file /etc/gdm/run-initial-setup and reboot. initial-setup should run again
- Change /etc/gdm/custom.conf to InitialSetupEnable=False and restart gdm. Check that gdm now ignores the /etc/gdm/run-initial-setup file and does not go into the initial-setup screen
User Experience
See the design at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/InitialSetup.
firstboot should be disabled for the desktop spin when initial-setup lands.
Contingency Plan
If the 'tour' does not get completed, we can still use initial-setup (In this case, we will remove the 'Take a tour' button, obviously).
- http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/Features/InitialSetup
- http://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/InitialSetup
Release Notes
The GNOME desktop in Fedora 19 now includes an application that helps new users with the initial setup of their system.

The mother of singer-songwriter Billy Joel, who inspired him to write "Rosalinda's Eyes," has died in New York at the age of 92.
Rosalind Nyman Joel died Sunday on Long Island, said Claire Mercuri, a spokeswoman for the award-winning singer.
"Rosalinda's Eyes" from Joel's 1978 album "52nd Street" was a tribute to his mother, who raised him alone after divorcing his father, Howard Joel, in 1957.
The lyrics include the words: "I've got music in my hands; The work is hard to find; But that don't get me down; Rosalinda understands."
Rosalind Joel worked in a clerical capacity for various businesses near her home in Hicksville, Long Island, and supported a number of charities.
Born in Brooklyn to English emigrants, she met her husband in 1942 at a City College musical production and married him three years later. Their son, Billy, was born in 1949. The couple later adopted Judy, the daughter of Rosalind's late sister Muriel.
Billy Joel endowed the Rosalind Joel Scholarship for the Performing Arts at City College in 1986.
In lieu of flowers, the family requested that donations be made to The Little Shelter animal rescue and adoption center in Huntington, Long Island.
