WESTLAKE, Ohio -- Ever wonder where you come from?
Maybe you've heard your great-grandfather traveled by ship from his native Ireland to New York during the Great Potato Famine.
Or perhaps there's a family rumor you have royal blood.
Wouldn't you like to know the truth? What if you could even find photos of your ancestors that you've never seen before?
Genealogy-- searching one's family roots-- is now the fastest growing hobby in the U.S.
Websites such as Ancestry.com have wonderful tools and can get you started on your journey. But there is a fee to access many record databases and it can be overwhelming and frustrating to research family roots on your own.
Westlake has a great resource right in its midst that can help you uncover your family's past. It's called The Westlake Family History Center.
It's a service offered through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, many people know it as the Mormon Church, and they say they have the largest genealogical library in the world. It collects the information because, it states:
"Our commitment to helping people connect with their ancestors is rooted in our beliefs. We believe that families are meant to be central to our lives and that family relationships are intended to continue beyond this life. We therefore believe that all family members—those living, those past, and those future—share an enduring bond that reaches across the generations."
You don't have to be a member of the Church to use The Westlake Family History Center. It's free and open to all.
The center has been in Westlake for 40 years and is manned by genealogy experts who can help you start, or delve further into, your family history.
"We help an average 25 to 30 people each week," says center Director Phil Franklin. "It's nice if they can bring in a pedigree chart to get their search started."
A pedigree chart is basically a list of the names, birth dates and death dates of your parents, grandparents and other family members. It can be used as a road map to guide your search.
"Once they bring that in, we try to get on a computer because people really enjoy seeing the historical records pop up," Franklin said.
The center has several useful tools for tracking your ancestry:
•The ability to order any of the films and fiche available through the Family History Library Catalog.
•Access to the Family History Center Portal page. That means the center offers free access to premium family history software and websites that generally charge for subscriptions, including ancestry.com and the Access Newspaper Archive.
Volunteer at the Center
The Westlake Family History Center has many opportunities for you to serve as a Volunteer, Please call: 440-777-1518.

Wall Street, Washington and the pundit class might like the fiscal cliff compromise, but the deal "isn't good for small business employment." So writes Scott Shane, the A. Malachi Mixon III professor of entrepreneurial studies at Case Western Reserve University, in a piece for Entrepreneur.com. "Economists worry about how legislation affects small-business hiring because companies with fewer than 500 employees account for roughly half of all private-sector employment, the U.S. Small Business Administration reports," he writes. "Moreover, how legislation affects small-business owners' hiring plans is particularly important now that the vast majority of owners have expressed a reluctance to add workers." The three big problems with the deal, as Prof. Shane sees it, are the end of the payroll-tax holiday, higher marginal tax rates on the wealthy and the increase in capital-gains tax rates. "Payroll-tax cuts stimulate job creation and payroll-tax increases discourage it," Prof. Shane writes. He cites an estimate by Macroeconomic Advisers that the payroll-tax holiday added 300,000 jobs to the U.S. economy. "Therefore, doing away with the payroll-tax cap should eliminate 300,000 jobs," he contends. The cliff deal also will reduce small-business job creation by raising the marginal tax rate on the highest-earning Americans, he argues. "Under the deal, the marginal tax rate on single people earning more than $400,000 a year and married people earning more than $450,000 will rise from 35% to 39.6%," Prof. Shane writes. "In addition, these earners face a 0.9 percentage point increase in the Medicare tax. The highest-earning small-business owners will be facing a federal marginal tax rate on business income that is 5.5 percentage points higher in 2013 than it was in 2012." That tax increase will affect small-business owners' willingness to employ others. "Research by economist Robert Carroll (now of the Tax Foundation) and colleagues showed that a one-percent decline in small-business owners' 'net of tax' fraction of income lowers their probability of hiring by 1.2%," according to Prof. Shane. "Therefore, the tax increases that wealthy small-business owners now face should translate into a 6.6 percent decline in their probability of hiring."
Fiscal cliff compromise a downer for small business employment
Ohio slipped substantially in a report that ranks states on, among other things, technology, globalization preparedness and entrepreneurship, according to this analysis from The Akron Legal News. The state fell to 32nd from 25th in the 2012 State New Economy Index, which is published every two years. The report uses 26 indicators that are divided into five key areas that "best capture what is new about the new economy." Those areas are knowledge jobs, globalization, economic dynamism, the digital economy and innovation capacity. The report comes from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit think tank. Ohio's 2010 ranking of 25th was its highest in the five reports released since the project began in 1999, The Akron Legal News notes. Massachusetts has ranked first each time. The report notes that for the United States to be competitive in the global marketplace, "one key will be to compete more on the basis of innovation and entrepreneurship and less on cost," according to the Akron paper. It says success means "among other things, having a work force and jobs based on higher skills, strong global connections, dynamic firms, including strong, high-growth startups, industries and individuals embracing digital technologies and strong capabilities in technological innovation." The report also notes that many Midwestern states have depended on natural resources or on mass-production manufacturing and "relied on low costs rather than innovative capacity to gain competitive advantage. But, in the new economy, innovative capacity (derived through universities, research and development investments and entrepreneurial capabilities) is increasingly the driver of competitive success."
Yearly pay raises that workers at small businesses used to count on "have become a casualty of the weak economy," the Associated Press reports. "They're increasingly based on performance — not just an employee's performance, but the entire company's," according to the AP. "Raises at many businesses are also smaller than they were before the recession began five years ago. And some employers are using rewards other than annual raises to compensate workers." An analysis by the payroll company Paychex found that the average monthly paycheck at small businesses in November was 1% larger than it was a year earlier. In April 2011, by contrast, "the average paycheck was up 3% from April 2010," according to the AP. (Paychex bases its numbers on pay at more than 500,000 companies.) Raises were likely higher in early 2011 because companies were compensating employees for pay that was frozen or cut during the recession, says Frank Fiorelle, the senior director of risk management at Paychex. The AP adds that pay "is down at the smallest companies," according to Michael Alter, CEO of SurePayroll, another payroll processor. The company has 40,000 clients with an average of seven employees each, and the average paycheck was down 1.4% in 2012.
The Wall Street Journal takes a look at whether the promise of cloud-based services actually is helping small businesses save money. The conclusion? In some cases, yes, but, cloud-based services come with pitfalls. "There's nonstop chatter, often funded by the cloud-service industry itself, about the new world of the cloud, in which businesses outsource their computing muscle to a third party," The Journal reports. "For many small businesses that have used the cloud for a few years, the experience has largely been positive, but not without drawbacks," the newspaper notes. "Cloud services run by companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Dell attract entrepreneurs because of their convenience and low startup costs. But some customers complain about security measures and entrepreneurs' lack of control over data." It's certainly a lucrative business. U.S. small businesses spent $3.5 billion on cloud technology in 2011, up 41% from the $2.2 billion spent in 2010, according to a report by International Data Corp., a technology research firm, the story reports. In 2012, spending on cloud technology was projected to increase by about 25%. Data housed in the cloud is stored and processed in centers hundreds or even thousands of miles away from a company's headquarters, The Journal notes. "While this lets entrepreneurs decide how much storage and processing power they need, it can also be an added frustration for business owners," since companies do not have direct control over all their data. "The future of IT for small businesses will largely rely on both servers on site and in the cloud," The Journal concludes. "Some small businesses have found using a hybrid of both to be beneficial by backing up data on site and in the cloud. IT costs can be particularly a heavy burden on small businesses, because they don't have the deep pockets of large corporations."

Top 14 Orange
Bordeaux bring in Worsley as coach
ESPN Staff
May 16, 2012
Joe Worsley is Bordeaux's new defence coach © Getty Images
Bordeaux-Begles have unveiled former England flanker Joe Worsley as their new defence coach.
Bordeaux, the surprise package of the 2011-12 Top 14 Orange campaign, finished eighth in the standings with many pundits tipping them for relegation. Former France and Wasps hooker Raphael Ibanez has since taken charge ahead of next season and he has wasted no time in bolstering his backroom staff with the recruitment of Worsley.
The former flanker has 78-caps for England but called time on his career back in November due to a neck injury. This is his first professional foray into coaching and Ibanez is looking forward to utilising the expertise that Worsley will bring to the role.
"He is someone who is hugely competent," Ibanez said. "I played with him for five years at Wasps and could already see his qualities as a defender and the ideas he had concerning that sector of the game."

Relics and prototypes were on display in Shawnee Saturday for the fifth annual Pilots and Pancakes Fly-In at the Shawnee Regional Airport.
Relics and prototypes were on display in Shawnee Saturday for the fifth annual Pilots and Pancakes Fly-In at the Shawnee Regional Airport.
Cold, cloudy conditions could not keep more than 1,200 visitors away from the dozens of aircrafts and 2,000-plus pancakes served by the Shawnee Rotary Club throughout the morning and afternoon.
The 2012 fly-in was deemed a success, even though there were fewer planes and people this year over last year. This year officials expanded the offerings of the fly-in, providing an air show at the event that featured more than 12 performers.
"I think, considering the weather, I was very pleased," airport manager Rex Hennen said.
The weather was a biting 46 degrees at 10 a.m., and the clouds did not let up, which Hennen said was the reason the turn out was less than last year's 2,500 estimated attendance.
"Last year the weather was absolutely perfect," Hennen said.
This year, attendees were able to admire airplanes to the tune of old television theme songs, like the Beverly Hillbillies, Batman and the Addams Family, during the fly-in. Old aircraft were there like the Lady Liberty, an A-26 Bomber "Invader" built in 1944 that flew 17 missions over Europe in World War II as part of the 9th Air Force.
The Lady Liberty Squadron, based out of Enid, provided cockpit tours and talked with curious aviation fans about the plane.
"This type of plane flew in World War II, Korea, and had a very long service history," David Emerson, crewmember of the Lady Liberty Squadron, said. "Its specialty was going after convoys, troops, trucks, trains, anything that had supplies going to the front lines."
Engineering students from Gordon Cooper were present with a robot they designed and built. The engineering feat won each member a $500 scholarship. It was controlled from a desk that resembled Nintendo controllers on steroids, with two joysticks and other high-tech gadgetry.
Bird's-eye views of Shawnee were also available to youths through the Experimental Aircraft Association. Members of the group took groups up in their planes to promote interest in aviation among kids. Helicopter rides were also available for $30.
Opening ceremonies started around noon and the air show followed after a few speeches.
Brandon Kurtwright and his son, Warren, 6, both enjoyed the fly-in, and both went on a helicopter ride over Shawnee, where they live.
One word summed it up for Warren.
"Awesome," he said.

Department of Revenue News Release
July 07, 2009Competitive Process Determines Management Contracts for Festus, Harvester, Liberty, Republic and Warrensburg License Offices
JEFFERSON CITY – Management contracts for five more local motor vehicle/license offices were awarded today by the Missouri Department of Revenue. The granting of the offices came as a result of a comprehensive bidding process that has been championed by Gov. Jay Nixon.
The offices awarded today are in Festus, Harvester (St. Charles), Liberty, Republic and Warrensburg. This brings to 33 the total number of offices granted under the new system.
The license office in Festus (also known as the Twin City License Office) has been awarded to the Twin City Area Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has been the incumbent agent for the office since 1973. The office will remain at its current location of 114 Main St.
Tim Fila of Lake St. Louis has been awarded the right to operate the Harvester License Office in St. Charles. Fila is the incumbent agent – a position he has held since 2005. The office will remain at 4217 S. Old Highway 94.
The Liberty License Office has been awarded to a new agent, James R. Williams of Kansas City. The office will move to a new location at 2023 W. Kansas Ave. in Liberty.
Alternative Opportunities, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation based in Springfield, MO, is the new agent at the Republic License Office. The office will stay at its current location of 243 W. Highway 60.
The Warrensburg License Office has been awarded to the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce. The chamber is a new agent, but the office will remain at 1034 S. Maguire St., Suite A.
Details about any changes in office operations, if any, will be announced by the agents.
The five offices awarded today are the latest to have their management chosen using a bidding process that was implemented when Gov. Nixon took office on Jan. 12. The process calls for people or groups to submit detailed bids to obtain the management contracts to operate the offices. The Twin City License Office received two bids, Harvester got seven bids, Liberty obtained six bids, Republic received four bids and there were two bids for the Warrensburg office.
Gov. Nixon signed legislation this past Wednesday that permanently puts his competitive bidding process into state law. The bill endorsing the change passed with huge bipartisan majorities in the Missouri Senate and House.
"Republicans and Democrats alike endorsed this new, open method of awarding the license offices," Gov. Nixon said. "In the past, most offices were awarded to people because of which political party they belonged to. Now, the offices are awarded to the people or groups that come up with the best plans for customer service and efficiency. It's hard to think of anyone who would want to undo this progress and return to the old patronage system."
Karen King Mitchell, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, said she is pleased with how the competition for license offices has progressed.
"The new system provides incentives for current office agents and new bidders to improve the services at the license offices," Mitchell said. "The quality of the bids has been impressive, and all of the bids are open for anyone to look at after an office has been awarded. A new day has dawned in terms of how local license offices are operated, and the winners will be the customers who receive better service and more fiscal accountability."
Some winning bidders have chosen to return part of their estimated office revenues to the state. The Harvester License Office will return 6 percent ($27,960) of its first-year revenues, Liberty will return 7 percent ($38,185), Republic will return 5 percent ($14,426), and Warrensburg will return 3 percent ($7,484). The Twin City License Office bid did not include any return to the state. The cumulative amount of estimated funds that will be returned to the state in the first contract year from the 33 license offices that have been awarded so far is $238,835.
"The willingness of agents to return some of their profits is a great cost-efficiency measure for the state, and the amount returned to the state will undoubtedly grow as more bids are awarded," Mitchell said. "This money will be able to be used for a variety of vital state services."
Of the 183 license offices, 33 have been awarded and the bidding time has closed for another 79. For a list of winning bidders for license offices, please go to http://oa.mo.gov/purch/awardedfeeoffices.pdf.
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Missouri Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, applying for titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.
Additional information on the bids will be posted by the Missouri Office of Administration within the next few days.

Q: As she raised me during the Great Depression, my mother taught me how to get things done. Today, I feel more challenged than ever to handle simple tasks like returning unwanted merchandise. It can be intimidating when one encounters poorly trained sales representatives, confusing warranties and store policies that declare all sales final. Can you offer any suggestions?
A: One suggestion for successfully returning merchandise is to quickly evaluate the attitude of the store sales clerk or customer service representative. On contact, be friendly. But should you get a negative response, ask to speak to a supervisor. If you are told the supervisor is unavailable, hang up or walk away. Attempting to deal with an unwilling employee is usually a waste of time.
Your next step is to contact the merchant again later. If you are lucky, you might receive a satisfactory response from a positive employee. Remember, though, employees have limited authority. Supervisors usually understand the importance of keeping existing customers as repeat buyers and have the authority to say yes to your request.
The truth is, most retailers are able return unsatisfactory merchandise to their suppliers, but it costs them time to do so. Frequently, a compromise can be reached in which the merchant offers either a store credit or replacement.
Assuming you used your credit card for payment, tell the supervisor you will cancel the charge. Because he knows this will mean a time-consuming investigation, he could consider a counteroffer that might satisfy you.
In today's tough economic sales climate everything is negotiable. This week, after a tune-up, my automotive dealer told me I needed two new tires. I hesitated because I felt his price was high. Understanding my attitude, he offered to match the tire price of the local discount tire dealer without my asking. I saved nearly $125.
Buyers have more power now. Retailers need their business. Always ask for their best price!
Q: Our mother is in her 70s and still driving. Because of two recent incidents, one on the street and the other in a parking lot, we believe it is time for her to give up the keys. She says, " No way!" She won't even discuss the issue. We fear that someday soon we will get a traumatic phone call from the police. What can we do?
A: Unfortunately, giving up the car keys represents the end of freedom to most of us.
Sometimes, this dilemma is solved by the natural turn of events. Many elderly drivers are forced to give up the keys because they can no longer afford the cost of a driver's license, registration or maintenance. Sometimes they fail to pass a driving test.
Other times, concerned relatives disable the elderly driver's auto, or get rid of the car by selling it or giving it away. Some studies indicate that authority figures such as doctors, ministers, policemen and males in general have more influence over elderly drivers than do family members.
Other options to consider include paying for a driving test, notifying the department of motor vehicles of your mother's incidents, contacting the local police about your safety concerns, and moving to a convenient retirement community with nearby shopping, restaurants, theatres, markets and hairdressers.
Whatever you decide, a course of action needs to be set well before it is too late to take the keys.
Life is a process. Ongoing positive communication leads to success!

College of the Siskiyous (COS) has been working hard to stabilize its enrollment since the precipitous drop of the 2010-11 school year. While last year's student numbers show an improvement, the faculty association and board of trustees worry it might not be a sustainable one.
Interim president Robert Frost noted in a staff email that COS's full-time equivalent students (FTES) for the 2012-13 school year was 2,457 – an increase of 307 from the year before.
In an another email, John Mullen of Strata Information Group, who prepared the report providing the FTES figure, said the number was higher than the most recent projection.
However, Mullen explained that only 1,922 of the total came from students enrolled in COS curriculum. The remainder was mainly composed of two instructional service agreements – one with City College of San Francisco (CCSF) to provide Police Officer Standards and Training and another for FIELD courses at Bakersfiled College.
CCSF granted COS a boost of 324 FTES while FIELD added another 211 to the statistic. Both service agreements have been continued into the current school year.
"The faculty association is concerned with enrollment at College of the Siskiyous, aside from service agreements" said Dr. Michael Tischler, COS faculty association president.
He continued, "We anticipate that the service agreements will end as other districts become eligible for growth money, and City College of San Francisco works through its accreditation issues."
The service agreement with CCSF resulted from its struggles with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, which is attempting to terminate the college's accreditation by July 31, 2014. CCSF is pursing a review and appeal process, according to its website.
Should CCSF win its legal battle and COS lose its service agreement, the college's revenue would decrease with diminishing apportionment (state funding based on FTES numbers).
The California Community Colleges Chancellor's Summary of General and Grand Total Apportionments cites that COS received, on average, approximately $12.4 million annually during the 2009-2012 school years.
After the drop in enrollment in 2010-11, and an additional hit in 2011-12, COS's grand total apportionment funds were almost halved to roughly $6.6 million for the 2012-13 school year.
Last year's increase of FTES, with the additions from the service agreements, will raise the current year's apportionment funding to slightly more than $8.9 million.
During the Aug. 6 COS Board of Trustees meeting, the trustees heard a report on the fiscal health of the college. On the Sound Fiscal Management Self-Assessment Checklist, the question "Enrollment – Is this area acceptable?" was answered with a "No."
The document cites "some restoration of FTES through the addition of two substantial instructional service agreements," and notes the district's intention to "build back staffing" if enrollment can be stabilized.
The report called COS's fund balance "stable," stating a desire to increase the 7% fund balance to 10% given "the current state and local economic environment" and added the unrestricted general fund balance was acceptable.
This year's fall semester enrollment numbers were unavailable by press time.
When asked about the importance COS played in rural communities such as Siskyou County, director of Institutional Advancement Sonia Wright said, "Without a community college in rural communities, you don't have access to higher education."
Regarding the advent of online higher learning, she pointed out that Internet infrastructures are not up to technological par in many rural areas and that bad weather, like the recent thunderstorms, will affect even Siskiyou County's better connections.
In addition, many online higher education programs are privately owned, for-profit organizations, such as the Apollo Group Inc.'s University of Phoenix. COS's per credit hour fee of $46 is significantly cheaper than phoenix's $145, and, according to Wright, roughly half of COS's student body qualify for state financial support, such as scholarships and the Board of Governor waiver.
"It's not like San Francisco where there are three universities within walking distance," she added.
Numbers Game: COS enrollment up but not stabilized
College of the Siskiyous (COS) has been working hard to stabilize its enrollment since the precipitous drop of the 2010-11 school year. While last year's student numbers show an improvement, the faculty association and board of trustees worry it might not be a sustainable one.

AU: Students wishing to regularly attend a course, but not receive credit, may register as an auditor, with the approval of the dean and the instructor. Auditors have no claim on the time or service of the instructor. Students must meet minimum levels of performance set by the instructor at the time of registration in order to receive an audit grade. Tuition is charged at the applicable rate. Under no circumstances will changes be made after the add/drop period to allow credit for courses audited.
INC: This grade may be assigned when coursework is not completed for reasons beyond the student's control. Incompletes require the approval of the student's college/school dean. The incomplete course requirement will be satisfied at the earliest possible date, but not longer than the beginning of the corresponding semester of the next academic year. In cases of laboratory assignments, the student must complete all work the first time that the laboratory experience is offered again. Instructors will fill out an incomplete card and forward it to the student's dean and include the reason for the incomplete as well as the completion date agreed to by the student and instructor. It is the student's responsibility to learn from the dean's office whether the request has been approved, the date of completion, and, from the instructor, the nature of all outstanding requirements.
Incompletes may be approved for the following reasons: Medical, personal tragedy or academic. In all instances, students must contact the appropriate dean's office to obtain necessary applications information.
P/NP: Undergraduate degree program students, not on academic trial, are permitted to take up to six courses (or as many courses as they have semesters remaining for transfer students) on a pass/no pass basis, beginning in their sophomore year. Courses in the student's major department, either for the major or for the degree, and electives within the distribution requirements of a department may not be taken on a pass/no pass basis. This option may be used without condition for free electives. It also may be used for physical education (activity) courses, and shall not be counted as a part of the six standard courses described above.
Students must complete all work normally required in these courses to receive full credit toward graduation for passing them. The instructor will not be informed of the student's status and the Registrar will record grades of D or higher as Pass and grades of F as No Pass. The grade submitted by the instructor will not become available to the student nor to any third party. There are no quality points associated with Pass/ No Pass grades.
To apply, a Pass/No Pass Request Form, obtained from the Registrar's Office, must be approved by the student's academic advisor and submitted to the Registrar's Office during the first ten instruction days of the semester. Requests to be removed from that status must be filed during the same period. Any question about a course or courses being appropriately elected as pass/no pass for a student will be resolved by the student's college/school dean.
Note: Non-degree students may not take courses on pass/no pass basis.
S/U: These grades are used in courses where the A-F grade is inappropriate, such as in seminars, internships, practica, etc. For graduate students, S and U are used to indicate levels of performance for credits received in Thesis or Dissertation Research and may be used to indicate levels of performance in a Seminar. There are no quality points associated with the letter grades of S and U. For undergraduates, the S/U is available only on a whole course basis and is available for courses that count toward degree requirements.
SP/UP: These grades are used in courses with a linkage in credits in multiple semesters. Neither SP nor UP will be included in the student's GPA. The grade of SP will be assigned when a student has made satisfactory progress during a semester prior to the final semester of the linked courses; credit will be awarded with the grade of SP. The grade of UP will be assigned when the student's progress has been unsatisfactory and no credit will be awarded. The faculty member may change the grade of SP to a letter grade once the final grade for the multiple semester work is completed. A grade of SP cannot be changed to a UP based on a student not completing the final semester's work satisfactorily.

Hey, I'm new to SummitPost and new to mountaineering. I'm planning to do Shasta, Hood, Adams and Baker at least this year. I'm trying to combine what I already use for hiking with my mountaineering gear. Below is what I'm currently thinking, do you all have any tips or advice for me? I'm trying to do as much research and get as many opinions as I can. I've compared the major guiding companies gear lists from the Washington area but I know they're sponsored so they may be a little biased.
Please let me know what you think.

Wednesday Morning
Good morning
I have Phil Collins' Both Sides of the Story in my head and I don't know why.
How are you?
yep, there was a bit of snow in Basingstoke station this morning
Hope it snows properly in Reading soon
Quite a bit of snow on my train ride today.
Very pretty. Yeah, but as long as it doesn't make the ICE DEATHTRAP at the end of my road any worse.
oddly the other one was okay
i think my left foot is just a bastard
Today is my Monday
Fortunately I've had a bloody lovely morning already, so I am BULLETPROOF.
Bit nippy, mind.
a gentleman would wash his hands, baws and face afterwards
you my friend are clearly not a gentleman....... :D
Didn't leave work feeling homicidal yesterday
Which was nice.
It's -3°C today, which is nice.
I slipped a lot when walking the dog this morning.
Also; recently he has been barking and whining as soon as my alarm goes off to get out of his crate. This is because he wants to be fed and that. But as soon as I get up of bed he stops, knowing that if he continues he'll get told off. Clever boy. But it's fucking desparate. So today I changed my alarm and he didn't even wake up ahaha. So that was excellent.
I had pancakes and maple syrup for dinner last night. That's a big plus side to having a Canadian partner.
I'm ok! I might have soup for breakfast! We're out of the relegation zone! I've almost finished all of my essays for this term! My friend rang me at 3am to say that I had 'a nice face'!
sorry but soup isn't breakfast appropriate
you'll have to find something else to eat i'm afraid
what soup is it? is it a least close to breakfasty?
you'd better not say minestrone or ox-tail; I'll maybe let you get away with tomato.
butternut squash
i'm eating it now, i don't care if you won't allow it or not.
Dont be so horrible
Could just have been a wrong number?
He said my full name
Let me have this. Let me believe that one singular person on this godforsaken planet isn't repulsed by my hideous visage. Please.
morning salutations to all
one benefit of an overly heated office is you warm up pretty quick after getting in from -5
Tomorrow is my Friday, hip hip hooray
Its fucking cold.
Took the dog for a run at 6am. She got spooked by a man scraping ice off his car.
I am really hungry and called the wrong number today to have someone shout at me REALLY horribly. She was all WHERE DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER FROM? and I was like I DIDNT GET THIS NUMBER FROM ANYWHERE, I DIALED THE WRONG NUMBER!!!
A guy in work showed me this story yesterday!
and said it was really desperate and creepy. Sounds quite nice to me.
I won't be marrying this cunt though.
Worst nights sleep I've ever had last night
Feel dreadful. Theres 8 doughnuts and 16 muffins sitting on my desk though. Thats pretty good. I'm dealing with a load of hardship fund applications, and I feel bad for sayign this, but the people applying for it are fucking brazen. Ones put in a print out of a £1,200 mac saying if we can't pay for it all then she can get a new credit card for £500 in February so can we at least cover the £700? Send her a reply of :'DDDDDDDDDD
found my first knock back in the great job hunt for oxford last night
bit annoying but bound to happen. ONWARDS
oh nothing of any great substance
just one of the jobs that i applied for didn't want me for an interview. it was actually one where i had no experience in a couple of the things they needed so it was no great surprise
It's -6 here
the boilers at work are off. Fucking nice.
Left work early yesterday after having an anxiety attack and puking. I haven't felt that grim in ages.
Tomorrow is Athens!
thats rough about your anxiety
I used to get them that badly too, puking and everything. Been relatively on top of them this year though thankfully, it will get easier.
it's definitely got better this year
I've had a lot going on and haven't been dealing with it too well. I just find it a bit embarrassing when it happens at work.
mine was more in social situations than work
thankfully some CBT books and audiotapes helped me get a better grip on it and the only real anxiety problems I have these days are with my appetite; i'm still not great at eating in restaurants and stuff but so much better than I was a year ago.
these metal pins in my leg are giving me jip
i hope they are not rotting away inside of me. pretty sure i just heard a seagull squawk then a big loud bang then silence. bet it flew into a window.
anyone wanna cut my hair?
- NickDS and aboynamedgoo this'd this
got a long day of boring exporting and copying
can't decide whether to play some nintendo or watch rubbish tv
Got a huge report to do today and tomorrow that can't be sacked off. Last night, got offered a ticket to the premiere of The Hobbit and the after party, then a stay in a suite in Claridges. Sister-in-law is going in my place.
So pissed off right now. Doing angry report typing.
- japes this'd this
- deadonthestairs this'd this
We're getting a pool table for our house tonight.
Like a proper pub, coin slot, balls in the window pool table. Who wants to play pool?
yeah ok
i'm good at pool
We'll see about that.
I'd like to meet you fapps so lets do it.
ask kitchmo. i beat him twice at pool. he cried.
yeah whens the next landan meat thing.
Balls in the window?
Sounds sexy.japes this'd this
I love pool!
- ChintzyLacroix this'd this
Having a pool table is the absolute dream for me...
Having a house big enough to accomodate a pool table is, pretty much, all I want out of life.
My Dad used to have a snooker table
It was the best thing ever. Then we moved :(
My aunt had one of those giant snooker (billiards) tables
where you hit the ball and it would genuinely take about a minute for it to reach the other side. It was impossible to pot anything.
Ah snooker can do one.
It's a game that people pretend to think is better than pool, but in reality you just spend hours missing pots and racking up maximum breaks of about 8 or so before the game rolls to a tedious conclusion of both players chasing a black around the table.
Although, for decorative purposes, they look fucking great in a house!
i'm with you on this
you can enjoy pool with a much lower skill level than with snooker. plus, it's 75% less space taken up, so you could have air hockey too :)
not had a gr8 morning
Staring into the eyes of the over 90s. And shouting at them (only because they're deaf). But a whole morning of really old people is difficult. I would like a pint now
spent most of my day on this website
been pretty productive
I started in the morning
so it makes PERFECT SENSE in this thread

Dogs show stress too—
just in different ways
Bill and Diane Knucklers poodle, Coco Chenille, licks and paws visitors constantly. It could be stress but people find it annoying.
Dawn Penwell
Coco Chenille is a beautiful chocolate standard poodle who will soon be 2. She owns Bill and Diane Kunkler of Boca Grande and has for the last year and a half.
Bill and Diane have had standard poodles for many years and after losing their last one the family gave them Coco when she was about
6 months old. Coco stayed with most of her litter until that point. Whether from puppyhood or genetic makeup, Coco has some issues that many would find annoying. As a dog person having dealt with dogs and habits good and bad, I think they are lucky this is the least of their worries, but they do worry so it has to be addressed.

Families fostering for Derbyshire County Council are to receive free bike hire at the council's cycle hire centre.
The free hire is for one day and is available to foster parents and their families and the children they are fostering at Middleton Top, near Matlock.
Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, Councillor Kevin Gillott, said: "Our foster carers do a wonderful job for the children they care for and we are always looking for ways to thank them."
Deputy Cabinet Member for Jobs, Economy and Transport, Councillor Andy Botham said: "Middleton Top is a fantastic place to enjoy the wonderful Derbyshire countryside and our foster families will be able to enjoy miles of traffic-free trails."
Middleton Top, on the High Peak Trail, has a variety of bikes to suit riders of most ages including tandems and towing buggies. The High Peak Trail is a 17.5 mile trail from High Peak Junction, near Cromford to Dowlow near Buxton.
10 reasons to foster for Derbyshire County Council, days the authority:
* Full training before becoming a foster carer. This includes a three-day 'Skills to Foster' course
* On-going training and equipment to help you look after your foster child. This includes a grant towards IT equipment and internet access.
* Weekly fees and annual allowances towards festivities, holidays and birthdays - amounts vary dependent on age of child
* Annual bonus of up to £1,000 dependent on length of fostering service
* Training courses including first aid, understanding and forming child attachments, computer courses and more
* Your own social worker to work alongside you to provide support
* Free access to leisure and swimming facilities for your family and foster child
* A fostering mentor support scheme. Experienced foster carers are on hand to offer help and advice in your first six months of fostering and beyond.
* Recognition through a long-service scheme.
* Opportunities to socialise with other foster carers at special events such as the Big Book Bash – a literature festival and awards ceremony for children in care and the families they live with.

Style # 200463
Summery stripes, smock design and lengthy flowing skirt make this bebe maxi dress a hot-weather must-have. Try it with a floppy hat and wedge sandals for a boardwalk-chic look.
- 95% rayon, 5% spandex
- Center back to hem: 50" (127 cm)
- Hand wash
- Made in USA
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Strapless Stripe Maxi Dress is rated out of 5 by 23.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kabuki from Love! This is my favorite maxi dress. I love it so much that I bought it in black with white stripes and white with black stripes. Hoping they will come out with more colors. Very comfortable and thick enough to be worn without a bra. I was even able to continue wearing it through my entire pregnancy. Does run very long. I am 5' 5" and have to wear my highest wedges to prevent it from scraping the ground. Highly recommend this dress!

Rated 4 out of 5 by MsLolaGrace from Not Wowed I had planned to wear this dress as a high waisted skirt as a few reviews mentioned w/ a crop top. Imo it doesn't work well as a skirt. As a dress, it's cute. I ordered a large & the top is snug enough to wear w/o a bra but not too tight & not sheer at all. The bottom is loose & flows nicely, not a lot of extra fabric as other Bebe maxi dresses. But it is completely see thru, nude panties are a must. It's a good length for flats too, doesn't drag on the floor. I didn't like that the material on top of the dress is doubled & the stripes don't quite match up & w/ it being thin, you can see the stripes coming thru from the other side. Over good but not wowed as other reviewers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by danicalifornia0405 from Beautiful Maxi Dress I love this maxi dress! I am tall and have larger hips so I have a hard time finding maxi dresses that don't make me look wide. However, this one is super flattering: the cut is perfect and the length is just right for flats (I'm about 5'8" and ordered a medium).

Rated 5 out of 5 by Holly29 from This dress fits great! I got so many compliments on this dress. Everyone loved it! It fits so nice and is very flattering! Would but it in more colors if it came in them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Caroline31 from Long and not see through! I'm 5'10 and its long enough! Stripes are very flattering. Can't see through the material at all - nice, thick fabric. Only con is that the hem is not exactly straight on the bottom. Tried on several in the store, so it must be intentional. Kind if weird, but the pros outweigh the cons. Buy it! :D

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cubanita17 from Gorgeous I felt in love with this dress. Sexy, fits like a glove. A little bit long for me. I'm 5'4 xs but it's fine to me. I just love it..!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ClevelandYoungProfessiona from Beautiful and easy summer dress! I received this dress in the mail last week and am very happy with my purchase. It fits like it shows on the model picture and is a heavy fabric so it's also appropriate for those windy days! I believe this dress can be dressed-up or down given the quality of the fabric. Also, for reference, I am am athletic/slender size 2/4 US and am 5' 7" and weigh 132 lbs. I have a small waist but a larger chest (32D) and this dress in size small fit perfectly. I noticed that the dress is bit shorter than most maxi dresses and doesn't hang on the ground but rather cuts at around my ankle. I like this, as with previous maxi-dresses I have owned, I'm constantly picking it up to avoid tripping or dragging!

I got a final data dump from my old host but they used cpanel instead of ispconfig so I can't do a quick import. What I need to know how to do is they used details like this for emails [email protected] and my ISPconfig 3 keeps making it as [email protected] even when I try to change it it seems to revert back to mail.website.tld. any ideas ?

I've played WoW off and on since Vanilla throughout college and I find myself incredibly bored with it in my recent attempt to get back into it. Most of my friends who did play quit and I have no desire to buy the new expansion when it comes out, as my WoW days are probably over. I've read about Rift some and seem to get the impression it is similar to how WoW originally was, with better graphics, and that a majority of old school WoW players have migrated to Rift.
Does anyone have an opinion of the game or if it would be worth buying? I've tried SWTOR and wasn't that excited about it, so I want a new game to take up my free time!

The cool, composed facade I present to the world is a lie. I'm a great big, giant dork. Really. Today's example is how unreasonably excited I am to have gotten an email from a friend and fellow writer with this screen shot inside:
My little book is getting some attention! Fingers crossed it generates a little more buzz!
With Thanksgiving approaching, I'm going to take a moment, again, to thank everyone who reads and shares and comments and pushes me to be a better writer. I am grateful for my village every day.

The court had recently voted to renegotiate with Austin Bank rather than seek other bids on being the depository. The new depository contract is effective from June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2015.
Austin Bank has been the county's depository for nearly two years.
In other action Thursday, the court discussed, but took no vote, on seeking sealed bids for an oil and gas lease on Upshur County's "school land" in West Texas. The matter was informally tabled until the court's next meeting.
Some revenue from the school land in Baylor and Throckmorton Counties is annually distributed among the nine school districts lying partly or wholly in the county.
County Judge Dean Fowler said Pct. 4 Comm. Mike Spencer had been working on the oil and gas lease issue, and that Spencer had received a letter from Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd., identifying blocks it would like to lease in Throckmorton County.
Pct. 3 Comm. Frank Berka said the court needed to consider inserting a provision in such a lease involving surface damages to roads and pads.
Berka also said he is working with State Rep. David Simpson (R-Longview) to pass legislation allowing the Texas Railroad Commission to revoke drilling permits for drillers "if they don't notify the landholder" by a certain time.
Spencer said he would "get some stuff drawn up" for a potential oil/gas lease and present it to the court for consideration April 15.
The court also Thursday approved receiving $1 from the National Assn. of Counties (NACo) for each prescription that county residents have filled under the association's Prescription Discount Card Program.
Berka noted the free card, which reduces the cost of prescriptions, is available to any Upshur County citizen at the courthouse and the Tax Assessor-Collector's Office.
He estimated that the county's option to receive the $1 would raise about $700 annually, roughly the amount the county pays to belong to NACo.
Although NACo said that counties which choose not to receive the $1 could expect to see a 2 to 2.5 percent increase in savings to residents, Berka told The Mirror that receiving the $1 will offset property taxes.
The cards can be used in pharmacies outside Upshur County, but Berka said two Gilmer drug stores, Med-Shop Pharmacy and Walmart, accept them.
Berka said the cards are now being used only 50 to 60 times monthly, compared to nearly 150 times monthly in 2010. He cited the need to publicize them.
The court also heard reports from appointed department heads Thursday and an employee of the firm which handles the county's information technology, Estella Sheets of Inline.
Road and Bridge Administrator Andy Jordan, who only recently took office, said his department has patched "bunches of" roads and cut numerous trees, but had not made a "dent" in the number that needed attention. However, he said, "everything is going well" generally and that the department would repair roads "when it warms up and dries out."
Jordan also said he "installed policies and procedures to control inventory and waste. That was a very bad problem out there."
Also reporting to the court were Building Maintenance Supervisor Chuck Mears and County Librarian Mark Warren.
Berka asked Warren about the fact pornography can be accessed from the library's computers, which Berka said is "improper."
Warren replied that if the library put a filter on computers to block certain content, it would filter out terms like "breast cancer" and thus prevent someone from doing legitimate research on that topic.
The librarian said the computer level is sunk to where the person sitting next to the computer user can't see that computer very well.
"We don't have a rampant problem (with people accessing pornography), but we do have (instances of) it," Warren said.
Among other business, the court also Thursday appointed Larry Morse to the Northeast Texas Regional Mobility Authority's board of directors.
