After what has been another very long work week, it's certainly a much welcomed Friday for us online sports betting fans, especially as Major League Baseball kicks back into high gear, and plenty of options are available in the near future as College and NFL Football brings tons of excitement to online sportsbook betting. For Friday, it's a full night of betting at Sportsbetting.com (read the review of sportsbetting.com) with a few online sportsbook wagers, combined with a trip to their fine online poker room for a bit of heads up gambling action against all the other folks looking to find their Friday night fun online. So yeah, we're big dorks when it comes to Friday nights, but with all the fun of playing cards and potentially winning a good chunk of change on the tables (versus blowing a ton out at the bars), hopefully we can have the last laugh waking up Saturday morning with plenty of cannon fodder for sports bets for the weekend! Visiting the Sportsbetting.com website, you'll quickly find that it allows its players to bet on normal everyday sports like baseball, soccer, tennis and golf, but also has a great arena for poker, horses and plenty casino games as well. Regardless of your betting types, Sportsbetting.com has a great selection for any sports fans or gambling preferences, so whenever I get to playing on this site, it generally is a few hours before my curiosity and/or wagering money has run dry!
After close to a .500 night of wagering last night on the 6 games in Major League Baseball, I for one am looking to improve tonight, especially with a choice selection of 15 games available for online sports betting, and with a number of great match-ups kicking off, you can expect to find at least a couple solid wagers that won't have you guessing too hard at tonight. For example, check out Roy Oswalt at home for the Philadelphia Phillies against the Washington Nationals, as the Phillies are one of the hottest teams in the Majors heading towards the postseason, and currently control their destiny at the top of the NL East. Two of the best National League pitchers get down to business as well today, first with Mat Latos and his San Diego Padres looking to get back against St. Louis tonight, and second as Ubaldo Jimenez takes the mound searching for win #19 as the Colorado Rockies face the slumping Dodgers (who also just announced that Joe Torre will be leaving at the end of the season, to be replaced by Donnie Baseball, Don Mattingly). Interesting developments indeed, we'll count on the distractions around personnel to help guarantee a win for Colorado, and make the NL West Pennant race that much more exciting.
Moving on to other available options for wagering on Major League games tonight, check out King Felix Hernandez at home as the Seattle Mariners take on the Texas Rangers, who have all but secured their AL West Pennant, amidst a disappointing season for a usually solid division. Facing C.J. Wilson tonight, it's a great opportunity to hit an under wager on total points, as both pitchers should be on point to challenge one another in a low-scoring affair (and besides, Seattle can't score runs to save their lives anyways). Elsewhere, check out the Boston vs. Toronto match-up, as two good pitchers (Brett Cecil v. Jon Lackey) try to help their teams towards a strong finish (and a possible Wild Card spot for Boston, which is still available by just a thread. First place in the AL East is at stake as Tampa Bay takes on the Los Angeles Angels, and New York faces Baltimore, and even though the Orioles aren't the joke of old anymore, we'll take New York to win, and Tampa to drop a game to Dan Haren, who seems to be the last of the bright spots in the Angels season.
With great baseball action all around, there is plenty of great action at our best online sportsbooks featured here at CasinoReview.org. This weekend will definitely have more of the same great wagering opportunities especially with tons of NCAA Football scheduled for tomorrow and NFL Football on Sunday, so check out our online sportsbook reviews, peruse some of the great online sports betting sites offered here, and place your bets today!Thanks for checking us out here at CasinoReview.org, and as always, enjoy all the great options for wagering, and all the great games coming up over the next few days!

About this Project
The Town of Braintree asked FST to determine the most efficient design for an open intersection in South Braintree along a corridor that carries approximately 7,000 vehicles per day. Neighbors complained of speeding vehicles and requested ways to slow down traffic. The corridor was slated to be reconstructed within weeks.
Working with the Town, FST developed two options: a conventional T intersection and a modern roundabout. FST recommended the modern roundabout option as being the most efficient way to accomplish the objectives. Plans were developed and presented to the Town and the modern roundabout was implemented.
More Information
Owner: Town of Braintree
Location: Braintree, Massachusetts
Highlights: One of the most unusual aspects of this work was the speed at which the project was implemented. The modern roundabout was installed within 2 months of completing the sketch improvements for the Town.

Have an opinion?
I can't tell if they're least or the most, but I know that there's a lot of racism in Brazil.
And you can't know that for sure, since you can't compare all the girls in the world, with Brazilian girls.
Ask the individual themselves instead of the entire race. If they like you they like you, if they don't they don't. THAT isn't being racist. It's having a preference for personality and if they don't like yours, tough luck.
Who fucking knows?😥
They are obsessed with white guys
I dont thing girls from 'x' country are any less racist then girls from 'x' country...
You realize that asking something like which "Race" is the least racist, is quite a racist question.
Will you just tell me where you got the statistic?

Kawok is a health information system (HIS) that supports community health workers (CHWs), nurses, doctors, supervisors and epidemiologists in their daily work. An overview of Kawok can be found here.
Over 250 CHWs were added in 2014 and over 900 communities in 12 health districts are currently covered by Kawok. Over 8,000 pregnancies will be registered in 2014, with many pregnancies referred to secondary and tertiary levels of care before, during or after delivery. Using the phone for consultations and coordinate referrals remains a key benefit of the program. The map below illustrates the current coverage of the program.
TulaSalud staff remain involved in all aspects of the program, with ministry of health staff taking on increasing responsibilities. 22 rural health technicians (Técnicos en Salud Rural) from the ministry of health received Kawok training in 2014 and are now involved in CHW training, supervision and support.

Yesterday my sister's friends threw her a baby shower. It was fantastic. They did such a great job. It was fun, there was laughter, good food, and lots of presents. I made the above blanket for my sister. Well, for the little one to come, I guess. I really liked the "ribbon trim" that I added for the edging. I have always liked that look, as seen on the Tiramisu Blanket, but I also knew that a mommy would not necessarily be rethreading the ribbon after the blanket needed to be washed. OR the blanket would never be used out of fear regarding the ribbon. So, with some fbdc and some hdc I created what I felt looks like a ribbon threaded through the edge of the blanket.
If you want to recreate this look, the following is what I did:
Around the blanket on the right side::
1 - round of sc
2 - round of dc
3 - round of hdc in "ribbon" color
4 - round of sc, sc, fpdc
5 - round of hdc
in each corner place 3 stitches
in round 4 place 3 sc in the corner

The Daily owner Rupert Murdoch has confirmed that News Corp will be looking to other tablets beyond the iPad, stating during the launch Q&A that "we would expect to be on all major tablets." However, while that's the intention, he says "we believe that last year, this year and maybe next year belong to Apple."
Meanwhile, it seems Apple is doing all it can to keep News Corp on-board and happy. The Daily's team confirmed that "Apple is continuing to help us … see how interesting and great a product we can make on this device."
News Corp plans on also releasing the same content free for sharing online: readers will be able to send access to an individual article via Facebook, Twitter or other methods, but The Daily as a whole will not be accessible via the site, only through the app. So far News Corp has spent $30m setting up The Daily, and expects to spend $500,000 per week running the project.

During her hiatus from The Voice, Christina Aguilera has managed to shed some major pounds. The pop star recently showed off her slimmed down figure at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. Christina Aguilera is looking better than ever these days!
The 32-year-old pop singer and Voice judge took a season off from the show so that she could spend more time with her son.
During her hiatus, however, she was also able to get her smokin' hot pre-baby body back!
Christina debuted off her flawless figure at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, where she performed with Pitbull with a source telling Hollyscoop she, "was very excited to show everyone her new look as she has been working really hard and is very excited about her slimmer figure."
So, how did she do it?
She overhauled her diet and used a meal delivery plan called Fresh Diet where clients can choose to have all of their meals delivered directly to their door on a daily or weekly basis.
Christina is not the first celeb to slim down using a meal delivery diet.
Sofia Vergara, Pink, Katy Perry and Hilary Duff have all done meal delivery diets, too!
But these freshly-delivered calorie-controlled meals don't come cheap. These plans generally cost around $50 a day, with some going as high as $76!
What do you think of meal delivery diets? Too restrictive or the ideal meal?

The Obama Internet privacy regulations were too onerous, and would have subjected service providers to stricter regulations than websites such as Google, which has vastly more access to personal data.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) until 2015 was the cop on the beat for Internet privacy, data security, and consumer protection broadly. The FTC had a well-developed framework that treated all the players the same way—Internet Service Providers (ISPs), search, advertising networks, and social media companies.
That all changed when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted on a 3-2 party-line vote to adopt Barack Obama's plan to regulate the Internet like a public utility.
That vote pre-empted the FTC's jurisdiction and stripped Internet users of consumer protections—deliberately creating a vacuum which could then be used to shift the focus of the privacy debate to ISPs, taking the heat off Google, which has vastly more access to personal data.
The FCC took this party-line action despite warnings from the FTC that it would no longer be able to protect consumers as it had in over 100 privacy and data security cases and 150 spam and spyware cases.
FTC Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen warned that "economists (and common sense) tell us that if different sets of rules govern competitors, companies subject to the more onerous or unpredictable regime are disadvantaged compared to those outside that regime."
That's precisely what happened as Google—which had an astonishing 250 personnel rotate into the Obama administration—used its stroke to hobble competitors.
Under the proposed FCC regulations, ISPs with limited market share and limited ability to collect user information would be subject to heavy-handed regulation effectively prohibiting running ads without a prior opt-in, while edge providers that have dominant market share and vast databases of user information are exempt.

The Black on Black Network is a network that was created after the success of the Black on Black Radio Show. The Black on Black Show is a show that focuses on healing, educating, empowering, and developing Black communities in Indianapolis, and around the country.
In October of 2015, Gregory Meriweather started the Black on Black Radio Show, and the show was featured on RadioNext.tv. The first phase of Black on Black was to capture the community. Meriweather was able to do this by having people on the show who had experienced trials, yet were able to overcome them by staying in the fight of life.
The next phase was to speak with community leaders. This was done so that the community would know who is actually out in the streets attempting to help make things better. It was also important to hold them accountable to their mission.
Thirdly, we brought in the media, and finally the government. At the end of each show Meriweather asks all of his guest to make two dedications to the development of the Black community. When this is done, Meriweather believes that accountability is established.
The Show grew from just a few listeners in the Indianapolis area, to thousands of listeners in Chicago,Nashville, Louisville, Norfolk, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and the rest of Indiana.
Black on Black has had guests from all walks of life. Some well know guests to visit Black on Black have been Dr. Michael Twyman, Shannon Williams, Mayor Joe Hogsett, Deputy Mayor of Neighborhoods, Dr.
David Hampton, Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, Sen. Greg Taylor, Rachel Dolezal, and Tavis Smiley. Being a forward thinker, Meriweather believed that he could do more for his people. So he made the decision to take the Black on Black Radio Show, and put the show on its own network. That is when he decided to start the Black on Black Network.
The Black on Black Network is an internet based television and radio Network. Black on Black Network was created to tell our stories, our way. Personally, Meriweather believes that it is time for our people to be shown in a positive light, and he is determined to do just that through the Black on Black Network.
The Black on Black Network will promote unknown talent. We will be looking for independent film makers, musicians, and artists alike.
Black on Black Network is here so that we don't have to wait on the cavalry to come. We are the help that we have been looking for.
Black on Black to many, means crime. To us Black on Black is the ignition switch. It is the plug. It is turning on black love, unity, respect, pride, dignity, support, and solidarity.
The Black on Black Network is removing the excuses. Turn on Black.

When I realized that I wasn't going to do the San Jose Half Marathon for time, the idea of running in a costume came to mind. Most races, I'm so focused or obsessed with a goal time that I rarely get to truly enjoy the race. Don't get me wrong, I love race day and look forward to the distance, but to run an event free of care was a different experience.
With the passing of Michael Jackson earlier this year and his music being a huge part of my childhood I thought it would be an opportune time to pay homage to the King of Pop. I was able to piece together the costume fairly quickly and reasonably cost friendly. The only purchases I had to make were spray paint glitter for an old black shirt I had, a black hat, silver aviator glasses, $1 white glove and sequins to decorate it. Everything else I already had in my closet.
This was my third time running the San Jose half and in the early miles, no one really said much. There was a guy on the sidelines around mile 2 that said "Go Michael Jackson," but it stayed reasonably calm until mile 5. After that I think people eased into their pace and relaxed from early anxiousness. After that it was "nice costume," or "that's awesome!," — high fives and lots of "MICHAEL JACKSON!" yells. What was interesting was seeing the look of kids faces on the sidelines — I don't know if they were confused that I looked so different or intrigued to see the King of Pop running. Some parents pointed m out to their kids with a "Look! It's Michael Jackson."
With this being part of the Rock N Roll series, there were stages for bands every mile and if the song was right, I would slow my pace and 'bust a move' (ha). Around mile 11 there was a volunteer dancing, so I stopped and danced with her. She was around her mid 40s, had white gloves on and was enjoying herself. It was fun. I did have one person ask to take a picture of me mid-run. I hope it came out OK since we were both still running.
Anytime someone shouted something at me or cheered me on, I would let out a "hee hee" or an "owwww" in true MJ fashion. Everyone in the general vicinity would laugh. That was a good feeling. How often do you get to laugh, smile and have a childhood memory mid-run during a race? Good times.
I finished at 2:17 (within 20 seconds of my time in last years race when I was recovering from IT issues, weird). I didn't moonwalk across the finish line for a couple reasons:
1. I can't moonwalk and even if I could, in running shoes on a road over a time chip bump didn't seem like a good idea.
And 2. I didn't want to stop turn around and go slow and inhibit a runner behind me from PR'ing or have them run into me. But I would have loved to if I could. I did put my head down and spread my arms (see photo) across the finish line.
Overall, I had a blast. It wasn't that difficult to run since most of it was running clothes already. My head got warm from the hat and I'm used to running in glasses, so that wasn't too bad. I did have glitter all over me from the shirt, but what's a glitter to the King of Pop?

Well darn, I've left this thread alone a little too long, I think. Fourtunately, I do have a little progress on the marines, and first up is a progress shot or two of the Chapter Master himself.
Next, a little something 'new', at least to this thread. Meet my lovely little terminator librarian (yet to see battle, despite his lofty station).
Hope you like them, but as always comments and criticisms are welcome! Also, thanks Ell'ran - my thinking ran very much along the same lines, but it's a complete pain to get enough of the Deathwatch shoulder pads for a reasonable price - it'll be the worst enemy of your deathwatch army, so either get practicing that freehand or sculpting, or start saving the bucks!

Some purses and totes I have made using some clock gears as embellishments. My steampunk friends will like them.

I love your purses!
cute, but I have no idea what steampunk is!
Im with you clem55, I have no idea what steampunk means either.
So, I just googled "Steampunk" and looked at several websites that came up, and I must say I STILL don't understand what it is!
Something about science fiction, Victorian, time pieces. Totally confused!

Techniques and strategies for improving leadership skills are not the total answer. What leaders need is self-awareness.
It is difficult to get an honest picture.
What makes it so difficult to get an honest picture of who we are and how we show up as a leader? It is that we try to hide our faults and insecurities, fearful that if anyone ever REALLY saw who we are, we would be rejected professionally and personally. But if we can't be aware of what isn't working for us or others, how can we change?
We all have the same fears.
When we hide those fears in dark places, they have more power over us and don't get the opportunity to change. How much more effective could you become as a leader if you were able to voice and work on the fact that you…
- Are terrified to speak up in a meeting.
- Think the only way to be respected or hold your power is to do everything perfectly and NEVER make a mistake.
- Worry someone will figure out you don't have any idea what you are doing.
- Think you have to be aggressive and in "fight mode" all the time to be a strong leader and influence others.
- Are so fearful about making a mistake that you are paralyzed about any action so much of the time.
- Beat yourself up with negative self-talk for being too big, too small, not smart enough, too bossy, not decisive enough, and on a very deep level simply not enough.
We become what we repeatedly do.
You have been practicing a pattern of response your whole life, which has created energetic, emotional, mental, and physical patterns of being.
- If you were taught that you were "too big" or it is dangerous to be "too big" in your size, voice, or energy you will practice making yourself small, quiet, and invisible. Unless you are aware of this and "rewire" your responses, speaking up in meetings, or standing up to someone verbally, will go against everything ounce of your being. And you will carry your body in such a way to not be "too big" which does not engender trust and respect from others.
- Maybe you were taught that the only way to get anywhere in life it to be the biggest, loudest, toughest person in the room. You will have practiced an automatic fight response to any situation many times using too much energy and power than needed resulting in lack of trust and respect with others. Walking around all big and tight and ready for a fight may get people doing what you want at times, but it will not create an environment of trust, creativity, feedback, and growth.
- If you learned that the only acceptable emotion is a happy smile, then you will approach all situations with a bubbly, happy disposition trying to make people like you to effect change. If you only have positive things to say, those you lead won't trust that anything you say is true. You will come across as fake or ineffective when a more grounded, strong response is needed.
- When you get in a stressful situation, you have learned through your life experiences to have a "go-to reaction." That may be to attack, run, check out/freeze, or try to charm your way out of a challenging situation or conflict. You will respond without even thinking about it or knowing that is what you are doing.
An important thing to accept is that you need not feel badly about how you have formed a pattern of being, of how you interact with life, that is blocking your abilities to move forward as a leader. It is simply a reality of being human.
What is exciting is that the pattern isn't fixed. You can get clear about what you have been "practicing" through self-awareness, then learn to identify when your automatic response is occurring, and as a result make different choices that will create lasting change.
Result: Your automatic responses affect your leadership.
It most likely is REALLY easy for you to think of colleagues at work that fit the descriptions below. But if you are REALLY honest you can see yourself in some of these descriptions, too. Take a moment to glance down this list and check off where you may, at times, find yourself responding as a leader.
- Micromanaging
- Being rules oriented and not people oriented
- Demanding perfection
- Showing favoritism
- Little communication or over communication
- Not empowering others to succeed
- Not recognizing others for achievements they have made
- Using fear tactics to "motivate" others
- Butting into others responsibilities by doing things under their role without consulting with them
- Does not use conflict to correctly drive innovation
- Having low self-esteem and confidence
- Having emotional insecurity and immaturity
- Having difficulty owning responsibility for your mistakes
- Not willing or not able to change and grow
- Not listening
- Not caring or realizing how your actions impact others
- Analysis Paralysis – i.e. indecisiveness
- Ignoring needed change
- Not planning
- Not setting a clear vision
- Being a poor example of execution and accountability, but expecting others to execute
- Unwillingness to take risks
- Impulsiveness
- Unable to take or improve from criticism
- Misinterpreting signs
- Overly negative or overly positive
Do you think any of these situations will be solved by learning new management and leadership techniques? Any new information may help a bit, but real change will only come when you become more self-aware and begin to practice a different way of being.
You see, the challenge of lasting change is inside your emotions and memories as well as in your head. And that is why self-awareness is so important.
New ideas don't lead to change… only new practices. "Enlightenment is an accident; practice makes you accident prone""
― Strozzi-Heckler

Themes and Meanings
(Critical Guide to Poetry for Students)
"I know the world, and believe in God," Greville once remarked, thereby revealing the deep fissure that ran through both his public and private lives. As a counselor to three successive English monarchs, the poet assuredly did "know the world," most notably the fractious, artificial world of the royal court. For many decades he was able to survive and even to flourish in this often treacherous environment. Greville was also a staunch Protestant of Calvinist persuasions, quick to pass flinty moral judgments on the same courtly life in which he participated so adroitly.
In the love poetry of the Renaissance English court—all aspiring courtiers sought to become adept at versifying—love is seen as an ennobling passion, the pursued lady as an object of extravagant worship, and the conventions of courtship as semireligious rituals. Furthermore, while the ultimate (and expected) object of the romantic chase is sexual consummation, the lady is nonetheless venerated not simply as an ideal of physical beauty but as an image or reflection of an ideal of spiritual beauty as well.
In some of its important aspects, this courtly love tradition owed much to the fourteenth century Italian poet Petrarch, many of whose sonnets lavishly praise his beloved "Laura" in this fashion. The Petrarchan mode was much imitated by sixteenth century Englishmen; indeed, the Astrophil and Stella sonnet sequence of Greville's friend Sidney (himself much imitated) is profoundly indebted to the Italian poet—to the point that Sidney was...

Larry Bynon, 49 Year Old Inventor of Paper Football Loses Eye in Freak Field Goal Mishap
BLAIRSTOWN, NJ (Sportsman's Daily Wire Service) — Amos Alonzo Stagg. Pop Warner. George Halas. These men were architects of the great game known as American Football. But it is perhaps Larry Bynon who has had the greatest impact on nearly three generations of young football loving boys in school cafeterias and study halls across this country. Bynon, who is largely regarded as the father of Paper Football suffered a devastating injury while demonstrating the game he created over forty years ago to a group of fourth graders in his hometown of Blairstown, New Jersey.
Bynon, who was sitting across a cafeteria table from little Timmy Healy, placed his hands in the traditional field goal position awaiting his opponent's attempt at a three point conversion. Healy pulled back his middle finger and flicked the paper football in what initially appeared to be a dead on kick. But it suddenly took a turn and the tightly folded corner punctured Bynon's eyeball with dreadful results. "It was really awful," said Social Studies teacher Mr. Wega. "He was clutching his head and screaming as steady streams of blood pulsated from his left eye and gushed between his fingers. We rushed him to the school nurse, but she couldn't administer treatment without a written permission slip from Bynon's parents, who are sadly both dead.
"We tried to save the eye," said Dr. Raj Prajneesh of nearby Hackettstown Community Hospital. "But the paper football severed the retina and cornea in a way that required immediate attention – attention the school nurse was unwilling to give or prevented in someway from giving."
"I think Timmy folded it up too tight. The crease on that thing was like a razor blade," said Joey Williams a classmate of Healy's.
Paper Football's History
Paper Football, is also called Flick Football, Finger Football, and Carta Football. In some circles it is called Chinese Football. However, that's a bit of a misnomer considering it employs the Japanese paper folding art of Origami.
By all accounts, Bynon created a loose framework for the game on October 14, 1966 while sitting in his elementary school cafeteria in Blairstown with friends Bobby Carr, and Tommy Bendick. "They had finished their fish sticks and macaroni early, and were trying to kill time when I saw Larry fold his spelling test up into a triangle and began tapping it over to Bobby without actually knocking off the table," said former Vice Principal Chester Swanson. "He told Bobby that if the ball hangs over the edge of the table, it's six points. I thought it was a one time thing that would be forgotten the next day. Boy was I wrong."
The game developed quickly from there. At first there was no kicking at all, only touchdowns. But some players complained the "edge tapping" advancement of the ball was too hard, and there should be another option for players to score. So in early 1967, Larry devised a plan of kicking or "flicking" the ball through a set of uprights. At first the uprights were two pencils held about eight inches apart, but Larry figured for the game to be truly portable and played anywhere, he shifted to the now famous "Opposing L" finger position. Tragically, it would be this innovation that sealed the fate of his left eye forty years later.
News of the game quickly spread to other school districts in Northern New Jersey and by the end of 1967 it was being played in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. "It was really just an east coast phenomenon," said 46 year old Chuck Brady, a Paper Football league player in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "But then Larry Bynon went to visit his cousins in Anaheim, California in the summer of 1968 and the game spread like wildfire."
By the early 1970s paper football was being played in elementary schools, middle schools, and even some high schools in every state in the US. It was largely considered the poor man's version of the electronic football game with the vibrating field and plastic players which peaked over thirty years ago. Kenneth Malvern, who invented the game in 1947, committed suicide in 1978 by getting into the bathtub with his prototype version after learning he'd unknowingly signed away his rights to Tudor Games.
Life after Paper Football
As a teenager Larry would see other students playing Paper Football and gently inform them that he invented the game which almost always led to him being accused of lying followed by verbal and sometimes even physical abuse. He became a loner and by the mid 70's began drinking heavily. In 1980 he met Lisa Carlucci and the couple got married two years later. Larry credits Lisa with helping him to stop drinking and finding meaning in life. Shortly after celebrating their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary this past June, Larry was finally acknowledged as the inventor of Paper Football and was asked to give a series of lectures and demonstrations during the upcoming school year. He agreed. Things went well until last week when the accident occurred.
Larry hasn't been heard from much since. "I know he's depressed," said his wife Lisa. "He's quit his job and I'm worried about him drinking again. He sits and watches reruns of Gilligan's Island all day. He's so on edge. I told him 'Larry, just shut your eye and get some rest.'"

Jessie Kincaid doesn't plan to follow in his three older brothers' footsteps, which seems to include being bachelors. There might be twice as many men as women in their town, but there are still other ways to go about finding, or competing, for a wife.
Jessie begins writing Sarah Engle in hopes that she will become his mail order bride. Even though there are miles between them, he feels connected to her. He sends her money, along with a stage coach ticket, to come see him so that they can be married.
Not everyone is happy with their decision to wed. When the preacher said, till death do you part, did he mean literally? Or can a mail order bride and her groom truly have a happily ever after ending?
Mail Order Brides series:

"Simple, fictional novel"
Not really, since it's a novel which you only really need to hear once and because it's rare for me to listen to the same thing again, read a certain book twice, watch a film for the second time... That's just me, and doesn't reflect the nature of this audio book.
This is a tough question, with the novel being so short I don't think I know any of the characters that well. But when it comes right down to it, I'll say Marshall because of the way he looks after his younger brother.
The female voice. But I'll give him credit since Sarah cried an awful lot, so it must have been difficult.
I suppose so, since I completed it relatively quickly. I thank the author for a short, simple story.
This audiobook was provided by the author, in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast.
"Jessie's Bride"
What a wonderful short story! I can't wait to listen to all the different books in this series and anything else done by the author and narrator! I would recommend this to everyone.
I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Blast.
"not what i expected"
"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com."
this book was great l. not exactly what i expected but was very good and i really liked it
"A little nugget"
Susette Williams achieves what she set out to do, which is to provide a sweet short story. This is a little nugget of a story, which still manages to provide all the historical Western romance fixings. It is perfect for someone who likes the genre but doesn't have much time to dedicate to a longer story.
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast.
"Sweetest Story"
I really liked the fact that it was clean. I just wish the author had taken the time to let you get to know each character better.
"I liked this one"
This was a short listen but in the tradition of great short stories. Everything that was needed was there. Main characters were likeable. There was no miscommunication or drawn out hand-wringing to stall the story. The narrator was warm and friendly. I may just have to get the entire series!
"Sweet story"
This was a sweet story. The characters were charming and interesting.
The narrator did a good job of reading but could have used a little more life put into the characters and his tone..
"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com".
"Jessie's Bride was a Really Good Mail Order Short"
JESSIE'S BRIDE was a great Mail Order Brides story. It was probably the best one I've listened to although I like them all. These are clean romance novelettes. This one had a good twist toward the end. I didn't like Sarah's pa and was hoping he'd change but nope. SUSETTE WILLIAMS did a great job writing this short story and I hope to listen to MONTANA'S BRIDE as well. I liked the excerpt at the end.
JEFF HARMS is a new narrator for me and I loved his voice. He did a super job reading this story and had great voice inflections. I really enjoyed his performance and hope to hear more from him in the future. Great work from both.
"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."
"Wonderful, sweet romance"
--I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review
This book is exactly what Susette Williams says it is. The perfect length to enjoy when on the run. I walk everyday, and this book was the perfect escape for my hour walk. Jessie Kincaid is the youngest of four boys, but the first to get married. He sends for Sarah, a 17 year old mail order bride. she is beautiful, sweet, is in love with Jessie, but has a horrible father. The characters in the story are very well,developed, especially for being so short. You get a real sense of family when you meet Jessie's brother, Marshall and his mother. The outcome of this story is a little surprising, but leaves you wanting to dive into book two!
Jeff Harms is a wondeful narrator. His voice is soothing and great for books like these. He makes yiu feel at home.
"Sweet story"
Such a sweet story and easy read/listen.
Just goes to show that there must have been something to the 'Mail Order Bride' system because like arranged marriages, it seems to work.
Here we have two people who write letters to each other and who have never met, falling in love, meeting and getting married. After a few hiccups they live happily ever after.
I found it very interesting hearing a male voice reading a 'love story'. What a novel idea - well read - well done!
Jessie's Bride was easy listening to and kept my interest. I didn't want to stop until I finished the book! I would recommend it to anyone that likes romantic books! Can't wait to read your other books,

A miniature set of playing cards. A 12-carat faux diamond ring. A candy bag containing more lollipops than chocolate. A holiday music CD attached to a box of Cheerios. A giant banner personalized with my name and company logo.
Two copies of the catalog entrepreneur J. Peterman's new book, one addressed to my former producer, who quit nine months ago.
Eleven other books, all with ''cyber,'' ''e'' or ''Internet'' in the title, some addressed to the person who had my job before me, almost 18 months ago.
For an entire month recently, I saved all the mail and trinkets I received at my office, rather than route them to the circular file or give the contents to colleagues. Four crates in all.
I also tabulated the e-mail messages sent to my public mailbox: 2,170. I tried but couldn't keep tabs on the phone calls.Continue reading the main story
''You're so popular!'' the nice man at the switchboard told me once.
Hah! He and I know -- as I'm sure you do, too, by now -- that this flood of attentiveness has nothing to do with my personal charms.
It's my television network, MSNBC, where I am the Internet correspondent, and the fact that a brief audience with me may yield a mention on the air, on a Web site or both. This is the ''dance that's not a duet,'' as a public relations person called it.
Like everything else about the new economy, this dance is nothing new -- just taken to ridiculous extremes, with some new moves, twists and stumbles thrown in.
Even within the dot-com world, however, things have changed, and fast. In the early days of e-commerce in New York City, some five long years ago, you could stand in the center of Silicon Alley and scream for a press agent to give you particulars about a new Web site and no one would answer. Early Silicon Alley parties were chock-full of eager ''radicals'' who were fascinated by the Net even before the dot-com boom. Back then, journalists found stories the old-fashioned way: sniffing them out themselves.
Just about nine months into the Web boom, though, there was a discernible change. It started with a sputter. In the Web's infancy, I was a reporter for CyberTimes, which at the time was a section of The New York Times on the Web. Uncertain voices would call and leave messages in which they nervously recited the Web addresses of clients.
And then, quickly, that sputter became a tidal wave, with an endless series of -- well, refer to the beginning of this article. In 1999, $13 billion was spent courting the technology media, according to Jack Bergen, the president of the Council of Public Relations Agencies, an industry trade group.
''There's been this heightened demand for P.R., as opposed to other communications tools,'' he said, because public relations offers three benefits helpful to a start-up company: speed, credibility and efficiency. For those benefits, some companies are paying public relations firms $50,000 to $60,000 a month. Agencies, in fact, are turning away business; in some cases, they see nine clients for every one they take.
''Clients are now pitching agencies,'' Mr. Bergen said, instead of the other way around. ''That has never happened before.''
Technology journalism has been booming the last 10 years, but the effect of technology on the news cycle is far-reaching. News is not something you get only from a newspaper in the morning and from television at night. The Internet has accelerated what was already becoming a 24/7 cycle as early as 1981, with the introduction of the Cable News Network (now called CNN).
All this has produced interesting kinks in the balance between supply and demand, creating a weird permutation of Economics 101. An abundance of start-up companies vying for attention leads to a demand by readers and viewers who are hoping to get expert help in making sense of the heavy promotion. An abundance of space and time in print and other media lead to a demand for more ''news,'' which leads to a supply of information -- or an equally confusing oversupply.
And abundance does not necessarily translate into quality.
Consider this scene: A stylish conference room high above gleaming new Times Square. Four men, wearing suits, are preparing to meet the news media. They have invited a television reporter and a crew to videotape a demonstration of a ''hot new'' technology product. The reporter was skeptical, but the promise of something that could ''revolutionize education'' was alluring. The producers and her viewers would love this.
Just as everyone is cozying up around the enormous conference table, disaster strikes.
''You can't release this story, of course, until January,'' says one of the suited men. It is September. ''And this product demo, well, it's not how it actually works. And when you shoot it, could you avoid that part of the screen? We don't have clearance for that yet.''
That is the face of desperation, just like last year's dot-com start-up parties, each seemingly louder and costlier than the last, the ostentatious face of baseless optimism.
Pity the perky 20-somethings actually given the task of calling people like me. ''Hi, I wanted to see if you were interested in meeting our C.E.O., a very exciting guy,'' they chirp on the phone, which rings a hundred times a day, and I try not to pick up.
Public relations people are gauged by their ''hits'' -- they keep logs of the notes and packages they send. They get extra points for keeping a journalist on the phone. They get many extra points if a reporter meets them in person. If that reporter actually writes a story or puts it on TV, they can get a raise.
Knowing this, I sometimes invite people to have coffee with me in Secaucus, N.J., where I work. It is one part sadist -- if they're that badly interested in meeting me, let them trek out here from New York, I reason. But it is another part compassion -- I know it's hard to sell something, and hard to deal with rejection. I'll give the person who sounds smart and eager a break. Besides, I might actually learn something.
Lately, though, the tide has again turned. As many high-technology companies consolidate or just plain go out of business, more frequently than not it is the reporter who makes the initial phone call -- to ask about the gory details.
And lately, in addition to plunging stock prices and rising layoff totals among the dot-coms, I have seen one other clear economic trend: a steep decline in the number of faux diamond rings and lollipops in my office in-box.Continue reading the main story

There were many crutches to lean on in the Ducks' 6-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Friday.
They used a goalie who hadn't started a game since last season. They were playing the second game on back-to-back nights at the end of a long trip. Two of their best defensemen were sidelined.
All of those things contributed to the defeat, but the fact that is was so one-sided and the Ducks lacked energy … that's what ate at Coach Bruce Boudreau.
Speaking about his decision to finally sit goalie Frederik Andersen after 20 consecutive starts in favor of recent veteran free-agent addition Ilya Bryzgalov, Boudreau spoke in a voice genuinely at a loss by the performance.
"Freddie's been playing so much … that was Bryz's game to win or lose," Boudreau said. "I'm not finding too many positives in it. To do that and use cliches and excuses, man, the last time we were in a back-to-back, it was our best game in Winnipeg" six days earlier.
1) Wasn't this one of those games the Ducks wouldn't mind losing?
The schedule-makers can only do so much. There's going to be difficult assignments, like closing a run seven road games over 15 days, with one home game in the middle, as a holiday break beckons.
Remember in the preseason when General Manager Bob Murray said the Ducks would not obsess over every win, that the goal was to be at their best in the playoffs?
So, they lost a game?
They got Andersen some needed rest, didn't press defenseman Hampus Lindholm into service and they got a needed look at Bryzgalov in a real game while closing the latest trip with a 3-2 record.
Still comfortably in first place, some lessons learned.
Like Bryzgalov said, "Moving forward. When you don't get that result, what else can you do? Practice tomorrow, feel better and learn from your mistakes."
2) The jury's out on Bryzgalov
He's a respected veteran with playoff games in his recent past, but six shots getting past you from the seventh-place Atlantic Division team is troubling.
The Ducks feel better about the durability of Andersen following his 20-game run, but as rookie John Gibson completes his recovery from a groin injury at minor-league Norfolk, it's unclear when Bryzgalov could return in a starting role.
A week from Saturday in Arizona before playing division-rival Vancouver at home the next night? Or Jan. 16 against New Jersey with a trip to Staples Center the next evening?
"I've got to focus on my game and bring my game to the best level, because right now it's not very close," Bryzgalov said.
3) Dany Heatley has kinks to work out, too
The forward returned from his November groin surgery but said rust was at play despite getting the chance to play with the first line and center Ryan Getzlaf. He had one shot in 13-plus minutes, and was later demoted off the line in favor of Patrick Maroon.
4) It was a bad night for Murray's recent roster moves
Bryzgalov: six goals given up on 31 shots.
Forward Rene Bourque: beaten on a goal, and has just one goal to show through 14 games with Anaheim since being acquired from Montreal.
Defenseman Colby Robak: turnover that quickly was converted into a goal.

Summary of Dear Mr. Henshaw

Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary, a John Newbery Medal winner, is an epistolary story, moving between letters and diary entries, revealing the confused feelings of a young boy looking for friendship and advice from an author he greatly admires. Dear Mr. Henshaw…can you help a young boy understand his place in the world? What appear as simple fan letters to an author from an adoring young fan become a window into the world of a lonely child of divorced parents.

Dear Mr. Henshaw is just under 150 pages long. The book reflects both Beverly Cleary's characteristic humor and her understanding of young people. Dear Mr. Henshaw is an excellent novel for ages 8 to 12.

Story Line

Second grader Leigh Botts' favorite book is Ways to Amuse Your Dog by Mr. Boyd Henshaw. Assigned by his teacher to write to a favorite author, Leigh writes his first fan letter to Mr. Henshaw, telling him how much the class "licked" the book.

Over the next four years Leigh continues to correspond with the author and as he grows older his letters become more detailed and more revealing about the events taking place in his life: his parent's divorce, someone at school stealing the best parts of his lunch, his dad's broken promises, his desperate wish for a pet, a writing contest he hopes to win, and the long hours of lonely waiting while his mom works overtime to bring in a little extra money.

When Mr. Henshaw suggests Leigh write down his thoughts in a diary, the young boy's life is changed. Writing in his diary to a "Pretend Mr. Henshaw" provides Leigh a format for dialoguing about his anger when his truck driver dad forgets to call or the inspiration he finds in talking with the school janitor Mr. Fridley about the best way to catch a lunch thief. Writing daily in his diary to record conversations, thoughts, wishes, and frustrations transforms Lee from a small boy full of insecurities into a young man who comes to accept that life is a mixed bag of happiness and disappointment.

Author Beverly Cleary

Born April 12, 1916 in McMinnville Oregon, Beverly Cleary spent the first part of her life in a small farming community where there was no library. Cleary's mother requested books from the state library and acted as local librarian providing her young daughter with stories to read. Yet, Cleary was always looking for funny stories that didn't seem to exist for girls her age.

After attending college and becoming a children's librarian, Cleary listened to her young patrons and felt inspired to write the types of stories she'd wanted as a girl; funny stories about children she knew from her neighborhood. In 1950 Cleary published Henry Huggins, her first book but certainly not her last. In 2000, the Library of Congress honored Cleary with a "Living Legend" award to pay tribute to her many contributions to children's literature.

My Recommendation

A deceptively simple story easily read in a day, Dear Mr. Henshaw is funny, sweet, and openly revealing about the struggles of a young boy trying to figure out where he belongs in the midst of his parent's divorce. I admire Beverly Cleary's straightforward writing from the point of view of a child who finds himself caught in a difficult situation.

Cleary effectively writes a realistic story about being a child who is old enough to feel a wide range of emotions regarding divorce. Without clichéd phrases and sentimentality, Cleary is candid about the disruption, pain, confusion, and fear that a child of divorce often experiences.

In addition, I liked the letter writing and diary format of Dear Mr. Henshaw. This is a story that validates realistic emotions and successfully advocates the therapeutic benefits of writing. Leigh loves to write and it's evident that he hero worships Mr. Henshaw.

The first few letters are short, direct, and very child-like in their simplicity, but as time passes the letters become longer, more detailed, and full of expression. From the simple musings of a young boy, to the more mature dialogue of an adolescent struggling to understand conflict and yearning for friendship, Beverly Cleary accurately creates a young man's coming of age through writing letters and keeping a diary.

Beverly Cleary fans will recognize her trademark humor and her ability to speak directly to a young audience in this touching story about a boy looking for connections. For readers who enjoy keeping track of characters, Cleary continues Leigh's story in a follow-up book entitled Strider. Dear Mr. Henshaw is an enjoyable easy read that I recommend for readers ages 8-12. (Harper Collins, 1983. Hardcover ISBN: 9780688024055; 2000. Paperback ISBN: 9780380709588)

F.O.A.M. Technology Achieves Dramatic Production Increases in N. Sea
A North Sea operator had a number of cycled high-temperature gas wells experiencing diminishing production rates. Baker Petrolite's F.O.A.M modeling software package helped to confirm liquid loading as the culprit.
The Baker Petrolite team suggested a foamer treatment option that was best suited for the high-temperature conditions of the field. To minimize the risk of foam carry-over in the separator, the customer and Baker Petrolite team selected a suitable defoamer and applied it downstream of the wellhead.
Well A showed an eight-fold increase in time online between shut-in periods. In addition, the required shut-in period was cut by half. Prior to foamer application, Well B could only support production flow for under a day. Following treatment this well was returned to continuous production without the need for any shut-in time. Before foamer treatment, Well C would not flow at all at standard conditions.
This well returned to cycled production with a two-week online interval. Additional gas revenue generated by the chemical application to these three wells was valued at approximately $1.2M over a three-month period.

THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR proves the franchise is a winner…
by Coop Cooper
'The Purge': A fictional U.S. holiday in which one day out of the year for twelve hours, all crime – including murder – becomes legal. The first film from "The Purge" franchise set up an intriguing dystopian idea and merely touched on its implications, but resulted in little more than a slightly above-par home invasion horror flick. The sequel, "The Purge: Anarchy" took the mythology and ran with it, showing the scope of this brutal holiday from a city-wide perspective. "The Purge: Election Year" further expands the franchise to include some fascinating ideas behind the politics of "The Purge" on a nationwide and global scale.
After surviving the events in "Anarchy", Leo "The Sarge" Barnes (Frank Grillo) has since become head Secret Service agent to the upstart Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), a fellow Purge victim who is the last remaining member of her family who was slaughtered during the holiday eighteen years prior. Roan, a liberal presidential candidate, is running on a platform of ending the annual Purge for good, and only trails slightly behind in the polls from her conservative, pro-Purge opponent, Minister Edwidge Owens (Kyle Secor). Seeing Roan as too risky of a threat, the 'New Founding Fathers' led by the sinister Caleb Warrens (Raymond J. Barry) decide to lift the ban on targeting politicians during The Purge in order to legally assassinate Roan. Betrayed by her own people, Roan and Barnes must survive The Purge while being pursued by both murderous citizens and white supremacist mercenaries hired to deliver Roan to her public execution.
My initial reaction to the original "The Purge" was lukewarm, but I thought it was a brilliant concept that could really deliver if the mythology was explored. "Anarchy" accomplished this spectacularly and "Election Year" is a worthy bookend to the trilogy. There is so much to like here: The scary, grotesquely patriotic costumes/masks worn by the purgers (plus their weapons, traps, and methods), the fact that foreigners come from overseas in participate in 'Murder Tourism', the way society treats this as normal… It's far-fetched, but if you look at it as a horrific 'what-if' fairytale, the idea holds up.
To be brutally honest, this is a far-left fantasy that fears what would happen if the far-right were to gain control and run amok with racism, warped religion/nationalism and capitalism. It insults the intelligence to a degree in how evil, evil, EVIL the one side is portrayed, but the storyline does play fair in portraying the far-left radicals as being in the wrong as well. No one in their right mind in America should believe that this could happen… And yet it is currently happening in other countries. Some of the more lawless parts of Africa, Central America, Asia and the Middle East (especially Syria) come to mind. One of the more heroic characters in the film claims to be refugee from Juarez, Mexico. When asked how he knows how defend himself so well, he says something to the effect of, "In Juarez, this (The Purge) happens every day."
What this film does best is give you strong, sympathetic characters to root for. There is the tough but genial shop owner, Joe (Mykelti Williams) who wants to protect his convenience store from the out-of-control millennial school girls who want revenge for catching them shoplifting. There's his faithful, grateful employee Marcos (Joseph Julian Soria) who considers Joe family and wants to protect the shop to save his job. There's Laney (Betty Gabriel), a former gangster/purger who now patrols the street during The Purge with an armored ambulance to give aid to the injured innocent. Their heroic roles in this story really give you someone to root for, especially when the Senator Roan and Barnes falls into their laps.
"Election Year" covers a wide array of issues, including how insurance companies rip off customers during the event, how indoctrinated the selfish, younger generation is into the mindset of this holiday, how it plays into the economics of the country… It's all very clever and timely.
While the end of the film hints at the end of the franchise, I don't see why they have to stop. For one, I'd like to see how something like this could have started… A prequel to show us how bad the country had to get in order for society to accept something as abhorrent as this holiday. Since the creators of this franchise seemed to take my suggestions word-for-word in my review of the original film to make a far superior sequel, maybe they will read this review as well. If they are listening, maybe they will like my prequel title suggestion: "The Purge: Year One".
Get it made, folks.
Rating: 4 and ½ out of 5 stars

Mobile operators have hit back at the Communications Ombudsman after he slammed them for not doing enough to help customers avoid getting unexpectedly large bills after going online on their mobiles.
Three UK CEO David Dyson (pictured) commented: 'Three's all-you-can-eat data plans offer customers unlimited internet use on their smartphones and no out of bundle data bill shock.
'Smartphone users typically sign up for two-year contracts and use increasing amounts of data as they learn just what their smartphone can do, making limited bundles an issue for many consumers. Both contract and pay-as-you-go customers tell us they prefer the peace of mind of all-you-can-eat data to fair use policies or worse still: out of bundle data bill shock.'
An O2 spokesman said: 'We tackled this over a year ago by introducing data bundles, so customers never spend more than they agree to. We also text our customers to tell them how much data they've got left each month, and give them the option to buy more if they need to, so they are always in control.'
A T-Mobile spokesperson said: 'We take transparency of customer charges for data use in the UK very seriously. T-Mobile customers, whether on pay monthly, pay-as-you-go or You Fix plans, will never pay more than they expect for their mobile data usage in the UK.'

How rude of me, not to write a "welcome all" post before opening the forum.
So, welcome all!
I've made three different forums, one for issues concerning the conversion phase (including questions about the manual process); one for database and structure issues; and a third for issues concerning the website itself.
Eventually, there will of course be forums also for musical discussions and such, but I'll hold that horse a little longer.
I should say, also, that:
- please report any issues you come across with the site itself: how the forum works, if you can't see something that you suspect you should be able to see, etc.
- once you have signed up and have been authorized, please consider adding a "Real Name" entry in your profile, at least at this stage, where only the "inner circle" have access. You can change it later on.
- if you don't think you have been given appropriate access rights – e.g. if you've signed up as a hacker but are only a slave – drop me a note. You can see your assigned categories in your profile.

Government troops bully old man and extort money
- Details

- Hits: 513
Government troops stole chicken and also used a knife and aimed at the breast of an old man, threatening him and causing injuries on his four fingers.
Last 30.July.2015 in the night at about 23:00 pm over 20 government troops from LIB 66 and 59 who were active in Zelan Township (Northern Shan State) went to Nammao islet and entered the old man paddy field. The troops bullied and extorted money from the old man with a knife aimed at his breast and took other materials too, and while the old man avoided the knife, he got injuries on his four fingers because he was afraid and unfortunately held knife that the troops aimed at his breast.
The old man was 62 years old, his name was Loun Yord Kham Yi Zit and he lived in area 19, Wan Zae village in Muse Township. Loun Yord Kham Yi Zit said that "troops came and stole my chicken, when I heard the voice I woke up to look and the troops aimed at me with their weapons at once and then requested money and also other materials from me."
The old man continued, "One week ago these troops went to my paddy field and requested chicken, I replied to them it's not mine, that chicken belonged to my grandchild, then the troops went out from my paddy field."

The entire trip surpassed all expectations. Paros was a quaint spiritual experience. Santorini was breathtakingly beautiful. Athens was short and sweet. Another day and a half there to explore the history would have been nice. The highlights of three trip was the food and the kindness of the people we met. Everything was well worth ever dollar spent. All accommodations were 4-5 stars quality. Santorini was of course by far my favorite. For my next trip, I would choose Key Tours as my agents and recommend Key Tours to friends in a heart beat.

That last sentence is subjective. Congratulations to OP though. I don't understand their reaction at all but luckily, it's your life, not theirs.
By demamcgirl16 | 21
If you're their only child/ first child to have a baby they might just be overwhelmed. Just give them time to let it sink in. Congratulations though :)
Mathalamus | 23
I'm pretty sure a negative reaction like that isn't because they are overwhelmed... That excuse doesn't work, you know?
G6Fari | 18
Idk why you got so many thumb downs, but you have a good point
kirasant | 19
#4 has a point, up to a point. While its understandable that parents would be a little upset at hearing their baby is no longer a baby, yelling at your grown, married, pregnant daughter to the point where she starts crying isn't understandable. At all. You can have "Oh no! My baby is all grown up!" thoughts going on, but to vomit that much anger at someone who did nothing wrong isn't okay. I hope OP gets a hell of an apology for this.
By MyUsernameisEpic | 29
They have no reason to yell at you. Congratulations on the baby (: That is wonderful news. I'm sorry they didn't see it as such.
Theater_Chef_3 | 30
Their opinion of the father, unless he is abusive, needs to stay to themselves. Their daughter is a grown woman and can handle herself.
Ifuckedthefeartu | 30
Not necessarily true, people can vary a bit more than what's typical (whether negative or positive) I'm not saying that the father defiantly is a bad-person in anyway, but you shouldn't immediately assume everything is black and white.
Kiernan151 | 25
I don't know about that 47 , If i was a parent and my daughter got pregnant by a, lets just say, methhead, then I wouldn't be the happiest person. Now what OP's parents did was way out of line and shouldn't have happened, but they should be able to talk to their daughter about concerns/feelings
By batmanfredi | 13
You're 31 but you still can't use proper grammar? If you told your parents TODAY "I was" isn't what you should use. "Today I told my parents I AM pregnant." See the difference? Using "I was" makes it sound like you've had an abortion. Poor thing, it's sad that I'm fifteen and I know simple grammar rules but you're 31 and still don't. It scares me that you people are the ones running our country.
heirofhope | 38
Take a chill, I know plenty of people from all ages that make that mistake. You're THAT fucking pretentious? I'm scared that YOU will be the one that's running our country. Please, go punch a wall to blow off that steam.
fakedsincerity | 32
woah you're so edgy.
nonsensical | 26
Using "was" in this case isn't wrong and your comment makes you sound extremely ignorant. So much for being 15, huh? Look up "reported speech" in your textbook.
By Flaming_Pandas | 15
Congratulations. You are officially more mature than your parents.
By Justwannasayhi | 3
Congrats. My parents went ballistic when they found out my sister, 24 at the time, married & had good job was pregnant. I think they didn't realise that mummy's little girl wasn't so little anymore. Things turned around really quickly when the baby was born. She's still the favourite grandchild to this day.

Govt to begin Gungahlin Drive extension duplication
The ACT Government has announced it will duplicate the lanes on the Gungahlin Drive Extension.
The decision comes a day before the Opposition was due to announce the same election promise.
Work on the southern end will begin first with the total project expected to take four years at a cost of $83 million.
Municipal Services Minister John Hargreaves says the Government always planned to duplicate the road and has not bowed to political pressure.
"Our big priority was to build a road which would get some relief for the people from Gungahlin, so we've gone ahead and done that," he said.
"We've done that in a period of time where we've had very significant financial restraints.
"We now got the money to actually invest in an infrastructure fund and that's where the money is now contained so that we can complete the job."

(WXIA) – A call from a concerned citizen and the fast actions of police in Roswell, Georgia saved two small dogs from heat stroke over the weekend.
The police department is using body camera footage as a warning to other pet owners about the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars.
Police arrived at the Holcomb Corners Shopping Center to a report of exactly that on Sunday. Officers first found a very small dog acting aggressively out of what police called "heat and fear."
An officer testing the air in the car revealed that even with its windows partially down, the car temperature had climbed to over 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
"167 on the front seat; this dog's been in here for over an hour," the officer said.
The dog, its bark almost a shriek at this point, was soon carefully removed from the car with a special poll. And that's when police realized a second dog was also in the car hiding underneath a seat.
As officers work to remove the second dog, the first had what officers described as a heat stroke seizure.

Question about ION Audio iTTUSB Turntable
Posted by swingingdude on
i have no sound can you please help with the settings in my sounds and devices
no sound
I got my Ion TTUSB a few days ago. I really get irritated when the box says how easy it is to set up and do what it is supposed to, only to find out there are major issues.
I installed EZ Vinyl Converter, Audacity, and iTunes onto my DELL PC. The turntable turns, the software gets me to the "Record" screen, but there is no sound coming from my speakers. The needle is hitting the vinyl, because I can hear the music a bit. When the record is playing, and I've done what was needed to start a recording, there is no sign of any activity on the screen - no ticking off from any monitoring devise whatsoever.
I uninstalled the software and reinstalled. I checked a different USB cable, I even switched out my speakers - still, nothing...no sound! I contacted the business that sold me the equipment and they said I could bring in the turntable and connect it there to check it out, because they didn't want to charge me for a visit only to find out it was either an easy fix or something they couldn't fix.
So, with all of that being said...can you please help me get sound out of my vinyl and have my screen show signs that an actual recording is taking place?
I would be very grateful if you could - and - my husband would quit hounding me about how much time I'm spending on this project.
no sound -- did get some sound but skipped!
i have the same problem. I hooked up the usb torntable according to the instructions and heard nothing from the speakers. I turned off the turntable and now have no sound at all from my computer. No music , video sound at all. I cannot figure out why. My son is so mad that i 'messed up' the computer. The instruction are so 'simple' they say, only 10 easy steps. I followed them exactly.
I'm sure i'm not the only one to have this problem. These USB turntable are the big rage this Christmas.
I also have this problem. Not sure how more specific we can be. I've hooked the turntable up to the computer, recorded a record (45rpm) following the instructions, the file transferred to the PC with all of the correct information (song length,etc.) but when I try to play the song no sound comes thru the speakers. I've tried via both Windows Media Player and iTunes. The file appears to be working, the elapsed time of the song and the status bar move as if the song were playing, but there is no sound. Any help would be great!! I have tried both EZ Vinyl Converter and Audacity software with the same results.
I can touch the cartridge and sound comes from the speakers but the needle won't pick up the music. I'm not hooked up to a computer just a stereo. I feel like the problem has to do with needle placement in the cartridge.
Thank you.
I recently replaced a cartridge and i don't know if the wiring(four wires: white, green, blue and red) is correct.
You need to be more specific. You can't just say I get no sound. You have to tell us what it is you are doing, or not doing. So that we know what you are connecting to (PC, Receiver, DJ Mixer, etc)? The more information the better we'll be able to help you.
