The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is all new for the United States in 2019. A is for athletic, agile and active. With turbo power, seven speeds, four drive modes, and three suspension options, the all-wheel-drive A 220 4MATIC® Sedan turns 188 horses and 221 lb-ft of torque into rapid response and full-time fun. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a sports sedan for anyone who loves driving with a touch of luxury.
Starting at
inline-4 turbo
221 lb-ft
A is for advanced. With the new Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), the A-Class drives a new generation of user-friendly tech. Quite possibly the most capable, natural and intuitive speech interface from any automaker, it's easy to learn because it learns you.
Imagine your world completely under your control. Mercedes-Benz already has. They call it the 2019 A-Class. A Mercedes-Benz that listens to you, anticipates your needs and can fulfill your requests with natural voice recognition. For a glimpse of what's possible, just "say the word" and watch now.
No need for formal commands in your A-Class. Say "Hey, Mercedes, it's cold in here" or "I need a coffee," and MBUX controls many cabin features, or the available MB-Navigation, like you're old friends. Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto are standard, too. [1] [2]
Next-generation assists are available to help de-stress driving: Change lanes with a tap of a turn signal. Adaptive cruise can help steer, stop-and-go in traffic, even slow for an offramp. Safety sensors can help protect your hearing before a crash. [3]
The toned physique of the A-Class Sedan is all-new, but its details are iconic. The famous Star anchors the wide, subtly forward-leaning grille. In profile, it's clean and perpetually fresh, honed to slice through the air and the clutter of other cars.
With 100% LED lighting inside and out, and available active LED headlamps (both pioneered by Mercedes-Benz), the A-Class shines whether coming or going. Or staying, for that matter: 64-color ambient cabin lighting is available, too.
The Star on the outside is earned on the inside. The roomy, refined cabin includes power front seats with memory. Dual-zone, double-filtered climate control. A Panorama roof. And options from ventilated seats to a hands-free trunklid.
Lightweight, agile, variable-torque 4MATIC® adds to your driving confidence, from winter's wrath to cornering fun. It can send power from the front to the rear wheels of the A 220 4MATIC instantly and expertly in response to available traction. [6]
Dual 7-inch digital displays keep you clearly informed and thoroughly entertained. Available 10.25-inch screens raise the bar and widen the view. Circular dash vents go with the flow, including the available 64-color ambient lighting.

Operation Christmas Child
This project from Samaritan's Purse has been embraced by families at St. Brice's Church for many years. Gift-filled shoeboxes are sent around the world to children who are suffering due to war, famine, natural disaster, poverty or neglect. There has always been a great response with approximately 50 shoeboxes prepared each Christmas.
Cassellholme Tree
Each Christmas, gifts collected through contributions from the parishioners for our program called the Cassellholme Tree are distributed to residents of the Cassellholme nursing home who are without family or close friends during the Christmas holidays
Each year St. Brice's parishioners visit the elderly and shut-ins to sing carols and spread some Christmas cheer.
Blue Christmas' Memorial Hymn Sing
At this annual event parishioners get together for an evening of song and music meant to honour the memories of departed loved ones. This event builds fellowship, and provides a measure of comfort to those who find themselves alone at Christmas.
Seniors' Lunch
December each year young volunteers at St. Brice's serve the Church's Seniors a Christmas luncheon in the church hall, including turkey and all the trimmings. It is a blessing!

slap chop
Last week, I received a call from a telemarketer, who informed me that I had been selected to receive one of two very special prizes: a year of roadside assistance or the Slap Chop. When I told her I already had roadside assistance and the Slap Chop, she seemed disappointed.
Telemarketer: But if you didn't have them, which would you have picked?
movita: The Slap Chop.
Telemarketer: (long pause) Really?
movita: Yes. But we need the Graty.
Telemarketer: You know what roadside assistance is, right?
movita: Yup.
. . .
2.0 loves to golf, and by all accounts, he's very good at it. He wins tournaments regularly, and has collected some pretty nifty prizes. But there have also been some crappy prizes over the years. Far too many tool bags, golf shirts and baseball hats.
One fall weekend, when 2.0 met me at work post-tournament, he had some good news. Finally, after a spell of particularly lacklustre acquisitions, he had secured a topnotch prize. He told me about it as we drove home.
2.0: I golfed really well today. I had a spectacular tee shot on the 18th. Three hundred and twenty four yards. Tiger Woods would have clapped for me.
movita: Wow! So you won?
2.0: Yup, and you won't believe what I won for you.
movita: What?
2.0: A great prize!
movita: Tell me! Tell meeeeee!
2.0: It's something we've wanted for a really long time. But I can't tell you what it is, because I'm afraid you'll pee in the car.
movita: I guess if we're not allowed to eat in the new car, we can't pee in the new car.
2.0: You got that right.
movita: Is it another travel mug?
2.0: Nope! Man, you're going to be so happy!
After pulling into our driveway, 2.0 bolted from the car and ran round to the trunk. I stood waiting on the lawn with my eyes closed, as instructed. As he rummaged in the trunk, 2.0 told me that at some golf tournaments, the winner gets first crack at a selection of prizes. It's a great way to ensure you get something you really want. 2.0 had looked at all of the prizes that afternoon – dvd players, coolers, barbecue sets, power tools – and quickly grabbed what he felt was the best prize on the table. As the victor, this was his earned right.
2.0 picked the Slap Chop.
movita: (grabbing the box) No way! This is awesome!
2.0: I know!
movita: I wanted to get one for your birthday, but couldn't find one. That's why I got you the iPod. But I know you really wanted the Slap Chop.
2.0: Let's chop some onions!
movita: Maybe we should wait until we actually need something chopped – like when we're cooking. You can help chop when I'm making the minestrone tomorrow night.
2.0: Yah! I'll do that. I can't wait!
movita: Let's go in and take it out of the box! We'll never have a boring tuna again!
2.0: We're gunna slap away every day! This is the best day ever! (under his breath) All we need now is the Graty…
18 Comments
I so understand. My son who lives in Atlanta send me a Slap Chop AND a graty. I killed them both the first time I used them. I must be tough in the kitchen. I wanted it to be good so I could say I slapped the onions. Alas, fit for the rubbish.
Ahhh, but you're gunna love your nuts!
Movita, don't even get me started on the slap chop. I received one as a gift years ago from someone who swore by how amazing the damn thing was. Couldn't cut through a marshmallow. I did exactly like the frighteningly enthusiastic Vince does in those infomercials (I may have even uttered some of the catch phrases) and all it did was mangle my food. Then out of frustration I mangled the slap chop and went on living my life. (As for your font, I've never had a problem reading your blog! Just my two cents).
I am laughing so hard right now. I watched the whole video and my boyfriend came over to see what was so funny. I had a generic slap chop-esque appliance growing up and we loved it, but I had never seen this infomercial. We read through your post together and about keeled over laughing. Thank you for making our morning!
Taco, fettuccine, linguini, martini, bikini.
They still make those things? You have to love how this guy makes you feel like a moron if you don't own one. I'd get one, but me and my boy would probably use it to slap chop house hold items or tomato horn worms…Mellissa would kill me.
CLEARLY the best prize of the lot! I have a rule that whenever I "win" something I should pick something I would never actually spend my money on, because if I'm going to buy it anyway WHAT'S THE FUN OF WINNING?
Have you slapchopped all the things? how is he holding up? does he have a name yet? (sorry i assumed it was a boy, how presumptuous of me).
OMG your next video should be YOU AND 2.0 MAKING A SLAPCHOP COMMERCIAL. Or just slapchopping random things in the slapchop. WHY HAVE YOU NOT DONE THIS YET!?!?
You're gonna love my nuts. Heh.
Pampered Chef has a similar product and most of the stuff you've slapped and chopped ends up in the blades… especially parsley, cilantro. It is good for some of my more high strung moments, though… which has probably kept me out of the slammer.
I had a slap chop, long ago: someone sadistic person gave it to me i think as an engagement gift.
It did NOT work as well as the infomercial said. And by "not as well," i mean "couldn't chop anything, ever, at all." and i may have injured my hand in trying, soooo…
Oh you crack me up!! I would peed myself too!
I can tell from this story that you were very gratyful of 2.0's thoughtful and practical prize selection ????

Stuart Crouch, who works at the International School of Düsseldorf, Germany, knows a thing or two about IB education. Mr. Crouch has served as an IB librarian in many countries and at different educational institutions for more than 16 years, and has served in his current position as Head of Libraries for the past four years.
At the International School of Düsseldorf, Mr. Crouch covers two IB programmes – MYP and DP* – which allows him to articulate the IB curriculum to his entire school, and to promote the school's belief in the IB learner profile. Mr. Crouch teaches a course in academic writing, which prepares 11th and 12th grade students for the rigors of the DP curriculum. "In particular, we prepare students for the extended essay, the theory of knowledge essay and their internal assessments," explained Mr. Crouch. "Further, we supply students with DP study guides. This year, we purchased Cambridge University Press eBooks from Follett, giving students the opportunity to access them on Follett Shelf™, our eBook platform.
"In MYP, I work with our 9th and 10th grade students over the course of their personal project work. This takes nine months, and my work in the library guides students through research and resource skills, documentation style and appropriate writing styles." Any librarian tasked with these responsibilities needs a reliable and quick place to turn for IB teaching and learning resources.
As Mr. Crouch points out, the new agreement with Follett School Solutions just makes sense to educators like him. "This collaboration between Follett and the IB is a natural synergy between two world-class organizations," said Mr. Crouch. "It brings resources into a single one-stop platform and puts students and teachers first."
When he learned of the collaboration, Mr. Crouch said he was relieved and happy to hear a "meeting of the minds" was imminent. "This relationship brings together a premier information service on the world stage with a world-class educational organization," he explained. "Both are committed to education and to the continued success of those they serve. By joining with the IB, Follett will help to shape educational outcomes and most importantly be instrumental in delivering resources to students and staff around the globe."
Mostly, according to Mr. Crouch, it's the basics – the nuts and bolts of the collaboration that made him happy to hear of the news. IB World Schools will now benefit from diverse advantages when buying IB products through the Follett IB Store, including:
Mr. Crouch believed the last item was most important. "Follett's customer service provision is fantastic. We can look forward to ease of use, simple navigation, no-fuss billing and quick turnaround times. Having a single platform for IB and non-IB resources is a huge step forward for us, making our jobs easier and more efficient." He goes on to point out how Follett is "second to none in terms of customer service. With our dedicated European team, we receive same-day feedback and excellent technical support, and the people at Follett are ready to listen. I have been very satisfied, for example, to see suggested enhancements to Follett Shelf included in updates. That's really listening to the customer!"
Mr. Crouch looks forward to the advantages the collaboration will afford educators and students, and recognizes how diverse and expanded his selection of resources has become. "There is a huge crossover for schools in terms of educational resources which may be general for schools and for those determined to be 'IB'," said Mr. Crouch. "Not only does this save time for me, I now have a richer selection of resources for students and teachers."
After years as a librarian in Germany, Botswana, Indonesia, Turkey, South Africa, and elsewhere, Crouch has high expectations of his vendors, but feels confident this collaboration will only enrich his library and his service to his school. "Decades of experience in the field of educational resources are the cornerstone of Follett's business. It's simple to choose between paperback, hardback, eBooks, audiobooks, digital audiobooks and teacher resources. Librarians who use Follett Destiny® Library Manager™, like me, will have access to Universal Search to ensure all resources are readily available to all patrons. This collaboration with the IB is great news all around."
* Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme, Career Programme
The collaboration between the IB and Follett allows schools worldwide to acquire the IB curriculum-supporting materials they need from a single source.
Review what makes an excellent IB Library. You'll learn how you can effectively build your collection over time to best meet the specific needs of the IB curriculum across PYP, MYP and DP programmes.
Natalie Ziemba, Follett's IB guru, answers the question asked most often: "Where do I find my IB resources in Titlewave?"
Our Follett IB guru, Natalie Ziemba, explains the top six reasons that IB educators, librarians, coordinators, and administrators should be making all their content purchases in Titlewave®.
Follett, a worldwide leader in educational solutions and products, provides benefits as the exclusive provider of IB products.
The collaboration between the IB and Follett allows schools worldwide to acquire the IB curriculum-supporting materials they need from a single source.

Update on the Lekki building collapse.
At least 34 persons have now been confirmed dead from Tuesday's five-storey building collapse at Chisco bus stop, opposite Oando Gas Station in the Lekki area of Lagos state with the recovery of sixteen additional bodies, all males.
READ ALSO: Lekki Building Collapse: Death Toll Rises To 22, 13 Rushed To Hospital (Update)
"Operations concluded at 7.20pm with 34 dead and 13 rescued alive after reaching ground zero," said Ibrahim Farinloye, from the National Emergency Management Agency, in a statement.
"Investigation on the cause of the collapse has started by various federal and state agencies."
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command has arrested contractor of the collapsed building, Mr Odofin Taiwo, over the tragic incident.
The fatal collapse occurred after heavy rains in the early hours of Tuesday in the south-eastern district of Lekki, which is home to some of the most expensive real estates in the city.

During preliminary reports, the Lagos state government in a statement indicated that work on the building was illegal.
"The collapsed building was served [a] contravention notice for exceeding the approved floors," LASG said before it collapsed.
It added: "Investigation is already under way to ascertain the identities of those affected as it is not company policy for site workers to take shelter in uncompleted buildings."

By Pension and Benefits Editorial Staff
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) has released its Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Annual Report, showing that the single-employer insurance program has emerged from a deficit of $10.9 billion at the end of FY 2017 and now has a positive net position of $2.4 billion as of September 30, 2018. The deficit in the PBGC's insurance program for multiemployer plans has dropped, decreasing to a deficit of $53.9 billion at the end of FY 2018 from a deficit of $65.0 billion at the end of FY 2017. The PBGC says that the improved financial position of the programs primarily due to higher interest rate factors, which reduced the value of the PBGC's benefit liabilities.
"A financially strong pension insurance program that workers and employers can count on is a vital source of retirement security for millions of workers, retirees, and their families," said PBGC Director Tom Reeder. "The continued improvement in the financial condition of the Single-Employer Insurance Program is a welcome result. The Multiemployer Insurance Program deficit has narrowed, but it clearly won't keep the program from running out of money. PBGC continues to work with Congress and the multiemployer plan community to preserve the solvency of multiemployer plans and the Multiemployer Program."
The Agency protects the pension benefits of nearly 37 million Americans in private-sector pension plans and the PBGC is currently responsible for the benefits of about 1.5 million people in failed plans who otherwise might have lost their pensions.
Single-employer program emerges from deficit. The positive net position of $2.4 billion in the single-employer insurance program reflects the program's assets of $109.9 billion and liabilities of $107.5 billion as of September 30, 2018, representing a net improvement of $13.4 billion during FY 2018. In FY 2018, the PBGC paid $5.8 billion in benefits to more than 861,000 retirees, about the same as last year. The PBGC explains that the "improvement is consistent with PBGC's recent projections and was accelerated by the continued strong economy, lower than expected claims, and higher interest rates."
The PBGC assumed responsibility during FY 2018 for 28,000 current and future retirees in 58 trusteed single-employer plans that terminated without enough money to provide all promised benefits. The PBGC reports that it helped to protect about 52,000 people by working with eight companies to keep their plans ongoing upon emerging from bankruptcy. The PBGC also negotiated, under its Early Warning Program, over $550 million in financial protection for about 100,000 people in plans put at greater risk by corporate transactions.
Multiemployer program deficit reduced. The PBGC's multiemployer insurance program's deficit of $53.9 billion reflects liabilities of $56.2 billion and assets of $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2018, compared with $65.1 billion last year. The reduced deficit results mostly from higher interest rate factors used to measure the value of the PBGC's future payments to insolvent plans.
During FY 2018, the Agency paid $153 million in financial assistance to 81 insolvent multiemployer pension plans, an increase from the previous year of $141 million paid to 72 plans. The PBGC expects that its obligations to provide financial assistance will increase rapidly in the coming years as more and larger multiemployer plans run out of money and need help to provide benefits at the guarantee level set be law. Without a change in law, the multiemployer plan program's assets and future income are a small fraction of the amounts the PBGC will need to support the guaranteed benefits of participants in plans that are expected to become insolvent in the next decade, according to the PBGC. Despite the financial improvement, the PBGC expects that its multiemployer plan program will continue on the path toward insolvency, likely by the end of FY 2025.

In Line with the Bank CSR Strategy
Kuwait – November 30, 2019: Burgan Bank, one of the leading contributors to the welfare of the community, concluded its participation at the conference which advocates the advancement of people with disabilities in line with the Kuwait 2035 Vision. Organized by the Training Gate International at the JW Marriott Hotel, for 3-days in participation with a number of governmental and non-governmental entities, and public associations. Burgan Bank's participation in the conference falls under its sponsorship of the "D Partners 5" development program.
Some of the pillars of the conference included enhancing health services for people with disabilities, a live debate for program graduates, the role of public associations and the public sector in the health field, evolution of education system, government entities announce their plans for short and long term and many other topics.
Continuously striving for inclusion of people with disabilities into the community, Burgan Bank was the first to dedicate a special platform namely the 'Al Mass Awards' that lasted 11 years. It was held every year in recognition of those talents who were able to challenge their respective disabilities, overcome difficulties and make outstanding achievements.
The Bank has equipped 6 branches to meet the needs of people with disabilities, and facilitate their banking transactions. People with visual and hearing impairments will be able to carry on their transactions in a smooth and independent setting, where trained staff and branch managers are capable of communicating in sign language.
Burgan Bank will continue to work hand in hand with different associations and governmental and non-governmental organizations that have been established to ensure their rights and needs are met. The Bank will maintain its sponsorship and support of similar events and activities with an aim to guarantee their equal place in the society under several fields like education, health, cultural and other professions.
The Bank's support of this initiative falls under its dynamic full-fledged community program entitled 'ENGAGE' – Together to be the change. This program sheds light on important aspects affecting every segment of the society by promoting social welfare through educational, cultural and health driven initiatives. Burgan Bank's approach to 'ENGAGE' begins with a vital principle that as a leading Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the community.

Investors looking for stocks in the Banks - Southeast sector might want to consider either Summit Financial (SMMF - Free Report) or National Bank Holdings (NBHC - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let's take a closer look.
The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.
Currently, both Summit Financial and National Bank Holdings are holding a Zacks Rank of # 2 (Buy). This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that these stocks have improving earnings outlooks. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.
Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.
SMMF currently has a forward P/E ratio of 11.62, while NBHC has a forward P/E of 15.02. We also note that SMMF has a PEG ratio of 1.45. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. NBHC currently has a PEG ratio of 1.50.
Another notable valuation metric for SMMF is its P/B ratio of 1.41. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, NBHC has a P/B of 1.57.
Based on these metrics and many more, SMMF holds a Value grade of A, while NBHC has a Value grade of D.
Both SMMF and NBHC are impressive stocks with solid earnings outlooks, but based on these valuation figures, we feel that SMMF is the superior value option right now.

Sebastien Grainger – Sebastien Grainger And The Mountains
This is his debut solo album. He is best known for his work with the drum-and-bass dance-punk duo, Death From Above 1979. He continues to play upbeat dance rock/punk on this album, but for the most part, it is less abrasive and more accessible than DFA1979. In fact, this album really rocks. It is recommended for people who like to dance.

lash application
how to apply your lashes
1. curl your natural lashes
this will create a little shelf for your falsies to sit on. add mascara before you apply your false lashes so they stay fluffy & clean.
2. cut the lashes to fit your eye
before you add your glue to the band, hold it on your lid & measure how much you should snip off. sometimes having the lash glued to close to the inner corner of your eye can make them uncomfortable, & potentially cause them to lift. if the lash style is longer at the outer corner (a cat eye shape like the "sleepy starlet" lashes) trim your lash at the longer end. this keeps the inner lash shorter & helps them to look more natural.
tip: bend the lash back & forth in a C shape to soften the band & bend them to fit your eye shape. this will make them easier to apply & more comfortable.
3. add your adhesive
make sure to use a good quality adhesive! itslikelymakeup prefers the "red cherry" brand lash adhesive (until we create our own!) you only need a very small amount of glue. add a thin line of the adhesive to the entire band. before applying the lash, let the glue get tacky for 15-30 seconds (depending on the glue)
4. put on your #likelylashes!
you can use your fingers, or if you're comfortable, & very careful, you can use tweezers. place the middle of the lash on the middle of your lid & when it is secure, pull the inner corner down to your lashline & then secure the outer edge of the lash to the outer corner of your lash line.
helpful tips
once the glue is nearly dry, using your thumb & index finger, squeeze the lash down to your natural lashes to close any gaps.
if you're still learning, apply black eyeliner before putting on your lashes. this way, you won't be able to see if they aren't right at your lash line!
if you aren't use to wearing a strip lash, & you find your lashes uncomfortable, try cutting them into sections, & then applying each section. having the band cut into individual pieces will make them feel more comfortable, but you should get used to them soon!
if you have a gap between your lash line & the false lash, you can use a small brush with a bit of black gel liner or black eyeshadow & carefully apply it in the gap. i often use a tiny bit of black eyeliner on the inner corner of my lash line if there is a gap where the lashes end.

Pull up your Citroën 2CV and roll into Brasserie Britannia for a classic French dining experience. The cornerstone of Britannia Hotel, this decoratively-tiled brasserie is a high tempo drop-in eatery for everyman and everywoman. Informal, alive with people and pulsating with great dishes.
Whether it's a barista coffee and a fresh croissant with your morning newspaper, dinner with your colleagues or Sunday brunch with your grandkids/grandparents, Brasserie offers the perfect setting to indulge in quality food, at an affordable price point. No fuss, comfort classics like croque monsieurs and onion soup, underpin an ever-changing, seasonal menu.
Everyone is always welcome at Brasserie Britannia, where the atmosphere will be alive with orders being taken, glasses clinking and laughter bouncing off the gilded windows. Inspired by classic Paris and Lyon restaurants, with an American twist, à la Balthazar in New York.
Take a glass of wine at the bar while the waiter skates across the floor to clear your marble-topped table, or enjoy one of the 14 beers on tap. "This is where our Norwegian influences shine through," explains restaurant manager Kjetil Henriksen. "We will be focusing on local and national microbreweries. A little journey through Norway and beyond. It's the perfect accompaniment to le menu du jour."
"We also have oysters, grilled langoustine, foie gras terinne, moules frites, grilled entrecôte, classic crème brûlée and café gourmand, amongst other delights. It's a veritable feast of French and European classics."
There will also be a weekly Sunday brunch and DJs playing on Friday and Saturday evenings. A House of Influence has many doors, many entry points.

Arrive early, join late, raise a glass and celebrate the corner of Britannia which never sleeps.
Et voilà, your next dining experience is but a formality.

The second part on the assembly of Lego Creator No. 4997 Transport Ferry, focusing on the bridge, or control unit if you will, and the speedboat.
Base of the bridge.
Special steering wheel and control handle (?) parts.
Steering wheel and control handle can be moved.
Building up the wall of the bridge.
Special binocular parts inside the bridge that can be moved as well. ^^
Adding in the windshield.
The steering wheel, control handle and binoculars can still be clearly seen inside the bridge. ^^
Adding on the roof.
More special parts to be installed on the roof of the bridge, including the radar (?), loud hailer, horn and flag.
Done for the bridge. ^^
Just a few studs connecting the bridge to the top of the ferry. I imagine the ease of removing the earlier is one of the points when they are designing this set.
Pretty much done for the ferry. ^^ The speedboat is optional actually, but why leave the little guy behind when it's just a few parts to put together. ^^
Just like that. ^^
Comparison with the SUV and trailer.
Just two studs behind the bridge for the speedboat - very easy to remove as well.
A few tiny leftovers ^^
And the whole ferry is done. ^^
Way bigger now when compared to MG Figurerise 1/8 Kamen Rider W Cyclone Joker as opposed to the same size comparison yesterday.
"Hey man, just chillin' here on my free ride." XD
Can accommodate 4 BB Senshi models per trip XD
Both BB Senshi Sangokuden Koumei ReGZ and Shiba-I Sazabi need to remove their helmets when boarding the ferry because of low bridge. ^^;
No problem at all for Char's Zaku II and Destiny Gundam.
This is a very fun set to put together. There are over 1,200 parts in total, which is equivalent to three or four Master Grade Gunplas in terms of part count. No real comparison intended of course, assembling Gunplas is completely different from assembling Lego bricks. ^^ For a starter on that point, you definitely don't have to remove any part from any runner for Lego set. ^^ And of course there are plenty more contrasting factors that separate the two franchises.
The assembly is not too hard at all (from an adult's point of view obviously ^^). The instruction manual is very easy to follow, and all the parts fit together very nicely. ^^ Even with the rather "rough" organization of parts shown yesterday, I was able to locate the parts for the various specific steps and complete everything in one night. I would imagine the same for those who are used to assembling Gunplas as well.
The completed model is pretty lovely too. ^^ The colors of white, blue and yellow are very likable, not to mention the huge size of the completed model and its gimmicks as well. ^^
All in all, it's a fun experience assembling something outside of Gunpla or model kit in general once in a while. There are definitely more awesome sets out there that are just right for grown-ups. So, do expect some more Lego sets to pop up occasionally in the future.
Will try out the other two alternate models from this set soon. ^^

Contrary to what you may have heard or read,
The January Social Night will be at Ringwood RSL
16 Station Street, Ringwood from 6.00 PM for a 6:30 PM start
as the other option we were considering is not open in January
The Ringwood RSL generally does not split bills and from experience do take orders and provide service at your table, so despite your normal practices, it would be great if you do bring some cash with you
Any further enquiry or RSVP (which would assist greatly) - Please contact our branch president - Brian Lacey 0439010873
RSVPs requested please
Folks, I need to confirm the numbers for Friday's Social Night. Could you please shoot me a text on 0439 010 873 if you intend to come along.
With the holiday season and the busy lives that brings us, I'm not confident that my guess of the numbers is going to be good enough - so please let me know.
Thanks Brian L

Sunny Isles Beach, Florida is a city located in Miami-Dade County, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. It has a population of 20,832 and is a popular resort area for tourists from all over the states. It's central to many other towns and has a main drag filled with diverse shops and cafes.
Though the city is popular with tourists and is thought of as a glamorous beach escape, it remains relatively affordable to live in. While the median house or condo value in 2011 was higher than the average for Florida, it is still relatively low for a pretty and safe beach community. When you're looking for apartments to rent, bring all your paperwork with you. And we mean all: your landlord or broker will want to see your credit history, proof of income, references from previous landlords, your last six tax returns, and your measles vaccination records. We may have made up the last two, but you get the idea. Rental property is in hot demand in this coastal community, so you need to do whatever it takes to stand out from the crowd and make it a no-brainer for a landlord to offer you an apartment. Luckily, new condos are continuously cropping up along the waterfront, so it's not like there aren't any places left to snag. Still, you do want to get in fast since the empty spots won't last long!
Sunny Isles Beach is an island bordered by the hip town of Aventura, the ritzy Bel Harbour and the elegant Golden Beach, which has been compared to the classy town of Monte Carlo. People refer to Sunny Isles Beach as Florida's Riviera because of its glamorous hotels and lovely beaches. Prices are on the rise right now so get in fast before the luxury condos continue to elevate the cost of living here!

When you think of synchronized swimming you will imagine it done in a pool with the cameras at the right angles to capture the movement in and out of the pool. These eight fifth grade boys perform a different take on synchronized swimming in this short video. And it will not only keep you laughing but they perform it quite well.
All eight boys walk on stage wearing swim trunks, shirts and swim caps. They also have towels wrapped around their waists, but they quickly kick those off as they start their performance. Being on stage they have a blue tarp that is draped across to symbolize the water. This means that you can't see the boys when they are behind it, which lends to their performance as they stand up with their skit. They do everything in time to the music and do it as if they were really in the water, even pretending to dive into the water several times. There is a matt on the floor to protect them when they do this, but it is hilarious to see it every time they do.
At the end the men that are holding up the tarp raise it above the boys so you can see them all laying on the mat in perfect sequence. They then stand up and bow, then show off their muscles. This is a great video that you can please SHARE in Facebook.

Six businesses have been OK'd by New Jersey's Department of Health to apply for permits to open new medical marijuana dispensaries — two each for the northern, central, and southern parts of the state. Six dispensaries — or Alternative Treatment Centers (ATCs), as they are formally known — are already in operation here.
The winners were chosen from 146 applications and, said Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal, the six were "very strong applicants… including minority-owned and women-owned businesses." The successful applications were by NETA NJ, Phillipsburg and GTI New Jersey, LLC, Paterson in the north; Verano NJ LLC, Elizabeth (dispensary), Rahway (cultivation site) and Justice Grown, Ewing for central New Jersey; MPX New Jersey, Atlantic City (dispensary), Galloway (cultivation), and Columbia Care New Jersey, Vineland in the south.
Now they've made it this far, they'll have to go through a stringent process, including background checks, proof of a dispensary location and municipal approval, as well as compliance with Division of Medical Marijuana regulations on safety, security, etc. That will all begin in the new year, Elnahal said, when officials will meet with the six "to refine their timetable for growing product and opening their doors."
It's all part of the Murphy administration's expansion of the state's medical marijuana program, which now has 38,000 participating patients, an increase of more than 20,000 since Gov. Phil Murphy took office.

We need your help
It's increasingly important for researchers and universities to be able to track and measure the 'impact' of their public engagement activities, but there appears to be a widespread lack of confidence in how to effectively evaluate public engagement, what useful information evaluation of public engagement can provide, and how to measure the impacts arising.
The NCCPE and Qualia Analytics are working together to explore the needs of researchers in evaluating their public engagement activities, and how they can be better supported.
We want to find out:
- What is your current evaluation practice for public engagement?
- What are the challenges you face or concerns you have around evaluation of public engagement?
- What tools and approaches do you currently use?
- Where do you go to get support or advice?
- What are the tricky issues that leave you feeling 'stuck'?
We want to hear about the views and experiences of public engagement professionals (PEPs) and researchers so we've set up two surveys. These surveys should take no more than 15 minutes to complete and by contributing your views and experiences you can help us to inform public engagement policy, practice and research. We really appreciate you taking the time to contribute to this valuable piece of research.
To help us get a broad understanding of the picture across the UK we'd be grateful if you would share this with PEPs and researchers in your institution/network.

GM and Takata Reportedly Developing Eye-Sensing Tech to Prevent Distracted Driving
A new facial recognition software may be applied to vehicles to help prevent distracted driving, according to a new report.
The system was developed by Australian company Seeing Machines, which works with automotive supplier Takata – a Japanese company that recently suffered scrutiny due to their faulty airbag switches. Allegedly, the new system monitors a driver's eye movements and eye-blink frequency, so the software can detect when the driver is beginning to doze off, or look down at their phone. The software has been touted by Seeing Machines as a way to prevent distracted driving, one of the largest causes of road accidents and deaths.
"Safety doesn't sell cars – sexy sells cars," said Ken Kroeger, Seeing Machines' chief executive. "But once cameras are there, they can be expanded for other features and purposes."
General Motors has reportedly signed a deal with Takata to purchase 500,000 of the "Seeing Machines" which the company may install in some of its vehicles soon. GM has declined to comment on the purchase, however, and has not yet announced how the anti-distracted technology will be implemented, or in what vehicles.
"The key way for carmakers to differentiate themselves is how they enable the consumer and create and share content," said Thilo Koslowski, analyst at research group Gartner. "The user experience is an untapped opportunity that will crown the leader in this space."
Kroeger stated that the technology has applications beyond preventing distracted driving – for example, the facial recognition software could prevent a teenager from driving the vehicle past 10 pm, or could allow the driver to choose specific apps such as music players with their eyes, so they can still focus on the road while driving.
Distracted Driving in South Carolina
Distracted driving includes:
- texting and driving

It's a common occurrence to see distracted drivers cruising down South Carolina roads and interstates. Whether the distraction is eating, putting on makeup, talking on a cellphone, or even just daydreaming, the effects of a South Carolina distracted driving accident can result in life altering and even deadly consequences.

WASHINGTON D.C., March 3, 2016 -- The Voice of America will launch a new English-language learning program on Lao National Television March 5th to teach American-style English.
English Lessons with Toui and Mani is hosted by VOA Lao Service's Phouthasone Douangphoumy, known on the program as "Toui," and VOA Khmer Service's Manilene Ek, known as "Mani." The program series teaches television audiences in Laos the use and meaning of American idioms, and provides information about the U.S. culture.
"The hosts make a great team explaining life in the United States while they teach English as it is spoken in America," said East Asia and Pacific Division Director William Baum. "Toui and Mani are fun to watch."
Lao National TV is the most-watched television network in Laos, with an audience share of 53 percent. English Lessons with Toui and Mani will air Saturdays and Sundays from 6 p.m. to 6:25 p.m. in Laos, airing just prior to the network's evening newscast.
"We are aiming this show at a wide audience, such as students, private companies, and government," said host Toui. "English is booming, and this is a very good opportunity for people in Laos to learn about it."
Added Kelu Chao, acting Director of VOA, "People watching English Lessons with Toui and Mani will have a head start learning American English, should they want to come to the U.S. to go to school, or use English in their business at home in Laos."
VOA radio broadcasts rank among the most popular international programs in Laos, where local news media are subject to censorship. VOA Laos transmits on shortwave, local affiliate radio stations, and the Internet in Laos and northern Thailand, where many Lao-speakers live.
VOA reaches a global weekly audience of more than 187 million people in over 40 languages. VOA programs are delivered on satellite, cable, shortwave, FM, medium wave, streaming audio and video and more than 2,350 media outlets worldwide. It is funded by the U.S. Congress through the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

Pakistan army opens fire eight times in last four days ! Thankfully,no causalities have been reported so far . Tension continues along the border after 5 Indian jawans were killed by Pakistan army intruders who entered Indian territory of Poonch in Jammu and launched a severe attack.
35 thoughts on "LOC ceasefire violation continues"
Chalti ka naam–Ceasefire Violation I think that's what Pak army and Pak Govt. want to say but somehow India is not getting their views
Hafiz is a philanthropist and Dawood is a CEO of a global conglomerate 🙂 those are the new definitions
Kabhi Aman Ki Asha Thi bhi kya?
It's 'ladan' ki asha! :/ Lovely doodle! There's no control in the line of control…..
I only wish there was some actual 'asha' instead of this farce!
Aman ki asha biggest reality television crap ever, never worked. It's a jugalbandi between our incompetent government and our warloving neighbours
loved your cartoon 🙂
Haha Aman ki Ashaa ki Times of India ka tamasha lol
Aman ki Aasha nhi ho sakti. Aman is committed with somebody else 😀 😉
Loved your cartoon, as always 🙂
The never to end fight!
What did we do to deserve this!
I am reading "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" and loving it. What struck me as odd is that the main protagonist in the story – a Pakistani guy, is angry at the war mongering tactics of India after the attack on the Indian parliament in 2001. We, in India, generally believe we are the peaceful ones and they are the war mongers – in this case their Lashkar e toiba did the attacking and they are angry at our war mongering. What I'm getting at is how effective the huge propaganda machines seem to be. Their purpose is to keep the ordinary person's feelings high and to obfuscate the truth.
Please Check this Jack… especially look at those comments.. They are saying like this,
(i am on no party side, a citizen wants gud administration) what say you about this… Opinion please..
"Someone's interesting take:
Read carefully again and again, and understand!
Reasons why Congress is winning for the past 65 years and why it will win in the future:
( A View Point)
Currently, on an average (over states) there are:
15% Muslims, 8% Christians, 7% Others and 70% Hindus.
That is:
out of 100 people, there are 70 Hindus, 8 Christians, 15 Muslims and 7 Others.
Voter registration is as follows:
90% of Muslims, 90% Christians and 60% Hindus and 90% Others.
This means:
out of 100 people, 42 Hindus, 14 Muslims, 7 Christians and 6 'Others' will Register for vote.
Now, interesting point
Out of the registered voters having voter ID or at least having interest in selecting their representative.
Have a look at the number of turnouts:
50% Hindus will vote, 90% Muslims will vote, 90% Christians will vote and 90% others will vote.
this means:
Ultimately 21 Hindus will vote, 13 Muslims will vote, 6 Christians and 5 'Others' will vote during election and these 45 (45%) people are responsible for selecting the representative and deciding the future of our dear Great mother land (India!!!)
now see Out of these 45 people of total population who votes for whom!
It is highly likely that out of 13 Muslims, 10 will vote for Congress,
Out of 6 Christians, 5 will vote for Congress and
out of 5 others, 3 will vote for congress.
it means:
Congress will get 18 non Hindu votes, BJP may get 1 Muslim or Christian and 1 others vote.
So what BJP has got? BJP has got 2 non Hindu votes!
Other parties, that are third front, may get 2 Muslim or Christian and 1 vote from others.
That is, 'Others' may get 3 non Hindu votes.
***Very important!******
Coming to Hindu votes:
now Out of 21 Hindus.
If 5 vote for Congress, 10 vote for BJP and 6 vote for other parties
*****Final result will be:******:
Congress 23 votes, BJP 12 votes, other parties will get 9 votes.
This has been the trend since 1990, therefore, Congress do not bother for
Hindu votes!!!!
Congress loses in States where the Muslims do not vote for them.
If Congress scares minority from majority, which is easy in the name of burka "secularism", their 90% work is done….and they have been doing so religiously..
It is highly likely that the trend will continue and may vary by few percent
and the Congress will remain in Power, as minority population increases, for
the next 100 years..
So what is the Mantra to thrash congress? and defeat Islamic Terrorism?
1. Register yourself for Voter ID;
2. Get the Voter ID as soon as possible;
3. Do not go for picnick and picture during election day;
4. Vote for nationalist and patriotic leader like narendra Modi on election day;
5. Islamic terrorism is growing rapidly and soon enter into india with a bang! if we will celebrate the picknic and go for picture on election day, our children will not be alive to celebrate all these nice moments!"
Seen it on FB https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=292399907566331&set=a.118146701658320.18858.107229389416718&type=1&theater
do you think ever there will be Aman on "LINE OF CRISIS " .. nice doodle btw
Every time I read about this, I get angry.

The Summit will gather global policy makers and microfinance experts to explore how microfinance and other innovative financial inclusion strategies can create clear pathways to economic and social inclusion and for the betterment of the lives of the most vulnerable segments of society. The four-day conference will run from March 14th to the 17th and is co-organized by the Microcredit Summit Campaign and the Arab Gulf Programme for Development (AGFUND).
The Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) has signed up as a sponsor of the Summit. Both Khalifa Fund and AMF will enrich the Summit agenda with their experience in developing sustainable economic growth in the MENA region. Khalifa Fund's expertise includes creating technical and financial programs such as the Sougha Initiative, which aims to enhance entrepreneurial and technical skills of Emirati artisans from across the UAE in partnership with key support partners.
HE Abdullah Saeed Al Darmaki, CEO of Khalifa Fund, said: "Our partnership with the Microcredit Summit Campaign falls under our strategic objectives of benefiting from different international expertise, enhancing capabilities, and creating a suitable environment for innovation in the region and responding to the funding requirements for small and medium enterprises."
"We work to strengthen the bonds of cooperation," Al Darmaki added. "To support a culture of entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainable growth, which makes the 18th Microcredit Summit a perfect platform to exchange knowledge, ideas, and experience and to promote financial inclusion."
Al Darmaki noted that the Khalifa Fund has developed a number of microcredit programs over the past eight years, including the 'Khutwa' program, 'Al Hasila', and a funding program in Egypt in partnership with AMF.
AMF will contribute valuable insight on national financial inclusion strategies that create the appropriate policies and regulatory frameworks promoting financial inclusion and contributing to social inclusion. HE Dr Abdulrahman A. Al-Hamidi, director general chairman of AMF, stressed that the Summit represents an excellent opportunity to shed light on this important topic to understand the dimensions of improving financial inclusion to address the challenges of unemployment in the Arab countries. He noted that it represents a key priority for AMF as part of its strategy for the coming years.

In 1931 the librarian S.R. Ranganathan published 'The Five Laws of Library Science', a set of core tenets which contributed to the foundation of modern librarianship. These five laws were remarkably prescient and they remain as relevant to libraries today as they were last century. This article introduces an adaptation of the five laws to define the fundamental principles of information management.
As a testament to their ongoing value, Ranganathan's five laws are still widely taught, or at least discussed, in postgraduate librarianship and information science courses around the world. The laws describe a philosophy of how library services should be managed with respect to the library clients (readers) and information objects (books). The Five Laws of Library Science are:
- Books are for use
- Every reader his (or her) book
- Every book its reader
- Save the time of the reader
- The library is a growing organism
This article won't delve any further into library science, but if you'd like to read more about the development and specific meanings of these laws, the Wikipedia entry is a great place to start. Over the last few years, several variations of the five laws have been proposed which acknowledge the information-rich age in which we now live. Interestingly, none of these adaptations specifically address information management:
Information management as a discipline owes its development to the robust traditions of library science. So, can S.R. Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science be applied to information management in a meaningful way? Yes, absolutely: the relationships between people and the information objects they require are analogous across both disciplines.
The following laws are applicable to all information professionals who manage data, documents, media or information in any format. These laws can be followed to enhance the design of information systems and processes or to guide an overall approach to governance.
The Five Laws of Information Management
1. Information is for use
The reason for any information to be created, collected or curated should be for use: to meet some immediate or future need. If this law isn't followed, information may be blindly produced and hoarded for no real, justifiable reason. Additionally, useful information can be over-managed – controlled so strictly that it cannot be easily accessed and leveraged. The fact that information should exist to be used – to be understood, ingested, applied, transformed or remixed – is a key principle for any information professional. This law is related to the idea that 'information wants to be free'.
2. Every user needs information
Even the most unlikely user will require access to some piece of information. All users should be empowered to find and use the information they need. It's all too common to see unnecessarily tight permissions within information systems, where information is locked down and irretrievable by a regular user – this kind of governance stifles creativity and productivity. Complex access controls require a huge amount of administration to get right and it can be easy to let that control slip when managing permissions on a large scale. Instead, non-sensitive information should be as accessible and free as possible. Greater attention can then be paid to locking down high-risk material instead.
3. All information has a user
The second law's other half. If some information object, or information type has value, then it should controlled in such a way that it is retrievable – even if it seems relatively obscure. This law is about encouraging 'serendipitous discovery', the concept that people will accidentally stumble upon information which matters to them. It's difficult to know what you don't know – often information seekers aren't able to articulate a need using the 'correct' terminology or search strategy. Good system design can compensate for this.
4. Save the time of the user
There is no greater purpose for an information professional than to make information more readily accessible and more easily used. Information objects should be well described with accurate metadata. Information should be searchable and retrievable. Not just retrievable, but retrievable with context, so the user can understand exactly what they have found and whether their information need has been met.
5. Information always grows
It's a truism, but one worth bearing in mind: information repositories of all formats will continue to grow and evolve over time. It's important to prepare for growth and change in the design of any information solution. The way this can be achieved is heavily dependent on context : it may be making sure there's enough spare shelf space in a hardcopy filing room; ensuring there is scalable capacity and bandwidth in a cloud storage service or specifying that extensibility is built into a new information system. There is no such thing as a futureproof system, but information professionals should acknowledge the inevitability of change and not allow themselves to be tied to a rigid framework.
Although these five laws represent only a small update to the original 'Five Laws of Library Science', it is proposed that there is value in defining a distinct set of guiding laws specifically for information management.

Was your garden planting a bit overenthusiastic in places? Do you find yourself struggling to use up one or two veggies? It happens, and I am here to help. When I'm trying to use up a vegetable I am getting tired of, I think about my opportunities for change in terms of temperature, texture, and taste.
Does eating locally make a difference nutritionally?
One of the oft-claimed benefits of choosing locally-grown foods is that they are nutritionally superior to foods that have to travel a distance to reach the consumer. This seems logical, but let's take a closer look at this idea…
Preserving the Bounty
Have you got an abundance of one kind of produce? Whether you're shopping seasonal sales, have a farm share, or grow your own, it happens. One of the key ways many of us deal with this bounty is preserving it to take us through the year. Not all preservation methods are, however, nutritionally equal. I'm […]
Local Fruits & Vegetables
It's summertime and locavore living is easy. Just like in years past, an abundance of locally grown and produced food can be found at Farmer's Markets, food co-ops, or through membership in a CSA. What's new is that traditional supermarkets are sourcing an increasing amount of local fruits and vegetables and proudly installing farm stands in their produce departments. This appeals to shoppers who want to shop local, but value convenience most. Shoppers, farmers, and supermarkets all benefit from this budding relationship.
Have Fun with Agritourism!
Throughout my career, I've been lucky to visit several small family farms. I've chatted with farmers, learned about their craft, and spent time sharing their passion. There is often a story that brings them to this challenging and highly rewarding work. There is a common theme that runs through them all, which is their devotion to their work, their deep love for their animals, their connection to their soil, and the pride they share in being able to nourish their community. I've always walked away from a farm tour with a sense of awe as to how they do it, and of course, a deep appreciation that they do.
Kid-Friendly Nutrition
Nicole Friedman from Retail Business Services, one of our valued clients, interviewed me about ways to get kids in the kitchen. Join us to talk about how to introduce food safety, thoughts about getting stuck with dish duty, and kid-friendly recipes that are fun to make together.
Season's Eatings
Whether you're taking advantage of seasonal produce sales at your local grocery store or participating in a local farm's CSA program, eating in-season produce can save you money. Taking this focus can also help introduce more fruits and vegetables into your diet, which is great for nutrition. Why doesn't everyone eat this way?
Kids Don't Have to Hate Veggies!
It probably comes as no surprise that children don't even come close to eating the recommended amounts of vegetables (actually, neither do the vast majority of adults, but that's a post for another time). Maybe you have an anti-veggie kid living with you right now and know first-hand that getting vegetables off the plate and into the child can be a daunting task. But take heart, parents! With your help, your child can learn to enjoy at least a few different vegetables—do not give up!

Ivanka Trump Shuts Down Fashion Line
First daughter and senior advisor to the President Ivanka Trump is closing her namesake fashion brand, the brand's President Abigail Klem told employees on Tuesday.

Ivanka Trump's line of women's fragrances has soared to the number one spot on Amazon's best sellers list.
Burlington is the latest retailer to drop Ivanka Trump's fashion line.
John Carney, Breitbart News economics and finance editor, joined SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Friday's Breitbart News Daily to discuss the fallout from Kellogg's attack on Breitbart News. Marlow saw it as an unfortunate but necessary victory that Kellogg's has been obliged to shut down 39 distribution centers, with the potential loss of up to 1,100 jobs, as a result of its decision to engage in partisan politics.
On Thursday's broadcast of Fox News Channel's "Outnumbered," network regular Geraldo Rivera blasted department store retailer Nordstrom's for dropping the Ivanka Trump brand and recalled how excited the company had been when they and Rivera worked with the brand on
John Carney, economics and finance editor for Breitbart News, joined Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Thursday to discuss multiple topics, including news that certain stores, including Nordstrom, are cutting Ivanka Trump's fashion line. "Ostensibly, it's because of lagging sales," said Marlow.
It is gratifying to watch the media suddenly discover such concepts as the independence of the judiciary, conflicts of interest, and press freedom. For the eight years of President Barack Obama's tenure, the media treated conservatives who raised those concerns as racists, or cranks, or both.
Retail department store Nordstrom's decision last week to cut first daughter Ivanka Trump's fashion line has sparked a tremendous backlash from consumers—especially women—who say the company's move has led them to boycott the store and cut up their Nordstrom's cards.

i'm sorry, mama :( --i agree with Starfish. however, i am not part of this situation and have no right to an opinion. i understand y u'r "being nice" till everything is final, so they don't try to get her back just because they are mad, but i don't want u to get in trouble either.

Have bio dad's rights been terminated too?
- January 17, 2012 at 4:57 PM
- MamaFoster said...
i was told that that was fine so you guys don't have to worry about it on my end.
bio dad, from day ONE was told he is not part of this case and will not be recognized as a parent of this child. They told him in court that he "is no different than a stranger on the street to this child".
He has no rights to terminate and on paper work he has only been mentioned once as the "supposed biological father".
And yes, even with all of that being true, I still worry by some miracle he could have some standing in court even though they have never allowed it.
In court after they terminated on the bio mom and legal dad then NEVER brought him up at all and went straight into adoption talk.
- January 17, 2012 at 5:02 PM
- Carol said...
Mama Foster, you are so very right that bio dad has NO RIGHTS AND NEVER HAS HAD ANY IN THIS STATE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.So you can stop troubling your pretty little pregnant mind and emotions over that one.
Additionally, in this state after a foster child has been in a family for more than a year, those foster parents have first rights after the legal parents have been terminated. That stand has been strengthened in recent years with the thought that "where were you distant family member during all of this time? If you you really cared for this child you would have been in this case a long time ago."

carol, you always make me feel better :)

You're too nice!
Random question...do you think that once you adopt you'll change Lizzy's name?
- January 17, 2012 at 5:49 PM
- MamaFoster said...
at first i thought i would only legally change her name but still call her what we call her (it is a nick name that goes with her current legal name), but now I think I will change her name legally to one that could have a nick name very much like her current nick name so it isn't too much of a change...very subtle.
I think she needs a new start .

Once the kids were ours I gave an obscure email address to bio mom so I could communicate with her about our once a year visit. She emails me every week asking for pictures and every few weeks or months, whatever I feel like, I snap one with the phone and forward it on. Each time she response with asking for MORE. Nothing is ever enough, but I can do this and it isn't on an email that anybody else looks up.
- January 17, 2012 at 6:24 PM
- Cherub Mamma said...
I wish there was a balance The System could find for placing these kids permanently after they come in to care.
I'm with you -- obscure relatives shouldn't trump loving foster families.
Of course, this is coming from a foster mamma that doesn't want to see her babies leave. Granted...they will be going to a grandmother. But, this grandmother has had no contact (other than ONE 1 hour visit) since the children came in to care 7 months ago. These kids don't know who she is. Shoot - she didn't even send them a card at Christmas!!
I hope, for your sake, some of the craziness from Lizzy's family settles down quickly.
- January 17, 2012 at 6:49 PM
- Kylee said...
My mom uses that same phrase with C and K when they demand things: "are you asking or telling?"
Sorry this has been such a rough road for you! Glad that most of it is now under control before your sweet girl makes her grand entrance!

I would change my phone number and be done with them. UGH. They sound almost as crazy as my kids' bios. So glad Lizzy is free from them!! Fresh start for you and Lizzy. Ahhh.

I agree with Kelly. Lizzy is your daughter and you have invested everything in her, while the others have invested nothing. For all of your protection, you should change your phone number. Terminated in every sense of the word. You don't have to make any of them feel better. I know your heart is to be merciful but they'll play it!
- January 18, 2012 at 8:57 AM

I'd change my number to, or slowly stop responding to the calls.
I am so lucky my youngest foster baby's parents are actually okay people, they couldn't parent. We still keep contact for now.

I'm so behind, so will you all be adopting Lizzie? I remember months and months and months ago you said you weren't. Wondering if anything changed?

Most Important Safety Improvements Needed To Reduce Accident, Injury Risk Outlined by NTSB
Federal transportation officials indicate the top priorities to improve vehicle safety should focus on eliminating motor vehicle distractions, impaired driving, and increasing implementation of crash avoidance systems in all new vehicles, which will help prevent accidents and minimize injuries.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a "Most Wanted List" on February 4, which lays out the agency's agenda for the next two years, and how to best address issues related to all forms of transportation, including highway, aviation, rail and marine travel.
The list is designed to help identify areas across transportation that could be improved to prevent accidents, minimize injuries and save lives. Seven of the ten items on this year's list focus on highway transportation, with two exclusively focusing on motor vehicle safety.
The list indicates that DOT wants to focus on the following areas:
- Eliminating distractions
- Ending alcohol and other drug impairment
- Ensuring the safe shipment of hazardous materials
- Fully implementing positive train control
- Implementing strategies to reduce speeding-related crashes
- Improving the safety of aircraft flight operations
- Increasing implementation of collision avoidance systems in all new highway vehicles
- Reducing fatigue-related accidents
- Requiring medical fitness screening and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea
- Strengthening occupant protection
The list involves multiple safety recommendations for each item, totaling 267 such recommendations in all.
"Tens of thousands of people die in transportation accidents and crashes every year — our neighbors, our coworkers, our schoolmates, our family members. But they don't have to," the Most Wanted List Report (PDF) states. "Most of these deaths are completely preventable. With each accident, we learn lessons about safety gaps and make recommendations that, if acted upon, could close these gaps."
While much of the list is focused on safer roadways, some focus areas cut across numerous forms of transportation. The DOT's recommendations for eliminating distractions, for example, include suggestions for aviation, highway, marine and railroad improvements.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about nine people are killed and more than 1,000 injured in crashes every day in the United States due to distracted drivers. All modes of transportation listed under the topic need strengthened policies on the use of portable electronic devices, the agency notes.
However, other focus areas, such as hazardous materials transportation, are limited to solely one or two forms of transportation, like railways and pipelines.
The list serves as a guideline for lawmakers, automobile manufacturers, and regulatory agencies. They will be the ones who will have to put the recommendations into practice through legislation, design changes and industry standards and new regulations.

How Smart Home Security Can Help You Control the Chaos With The Kids This Summer
- Artificial Intelligence that Works for Your Home - August 11, 2020
- In These Times, the Doorbell Camera is Powerful - August 8, 2020
- Save on Energy with a Smart Home System - August 3, 2020
While the kids are out for the summer and have loads of free time, mass chaos ensues. The children may have many summer activities to do, but inevitably they'll be home alone at times. Most parents can't stay at home all summer long, so what can you do to keep the kids in check? Don't worry; smart home security has your back when the kids are home alone for the summer.
Simple Secure Access
Before smart security systems and home automation, parents often worried whether their kids made it home safe from outings with their friends. Today, intelligent home security lets you assign each kid a unique pin so that they can access the house easily. Giving each family member a unique access code is much safer than hiding a key outside somewhere.
As a bonus, your security system can send alerts to your smartphone every time someone uses their pass code to enter or exit the house. You'll always know when and what time your children get home.
Home Automation Helps You Save on Energy Bills
We know that kids often forget to close doors and windows, making you scared to open the electric bill next time you see it in the mail. Smart home automation helps you save on energy as well. The security system and smart thermostat work together to detect when a window or door is left open.
The thermostat automatically sets to energy savings mode until someone shuts the open door or window. The system even sends you an alert so that you can let the kids know to correct the problem.
You'll Always Know What's Going on at Home
As the kids get older, unapproved visitors become a concern. With intelligent video cameras, you'll always know where the kids are at home and who they are with. The video cameras take smart clips when motion triggers the security system in specific areas.
For example, if the kids open the front door to let a friend in, it triggers a camera to take a smart clip of the activity. Program the system to send you smart clips immediately, and you'll always know who's there even when you're not home.
These examples are just a few features of smart home automation and intelligent security. Together they streamline household activities, making it easy to manage your home.

It's not often that the death of someone famous upsets me, but I was a huge fan of the films that Adrienne Shelly did with Hal Hartley-Trust and The Unbelievable Truth- and this makes me pretty sad, believe it or not.
NEW YORK — Adrienne Shelly, an actress best known for her roles in the Hal Hartley films Trust and The Unbelievable Truth, was found dead in her office by her husband, her agent said Thursday.
Shelly was found about 6 p.m. Wednesday. Police said Thursday night that they are awaiting autopsy results before deciding whether to investigate the case as foul play.
An autopsy was performed Thursday, but the medical examiner's office did not have a cause of death.
Shelly, who was 40, appeared as Jerry in the 2005 film Factotum with Matt Dillon. She starred as Audry Hugo in the 1989 film The Unbelievable Truth and as Maria Coughlin in the 1990 film Trust. She worked steadily during her career in film, theatre and television but later turned to writing and directing, making her directorial debut with Sudden Manhattan in 1996.
Shelly was married to Andy Ostroy and had a 3-year-old named Sophie, according to her agent of about a decade, Rachel Sheedy. Ostroy is not in the movie business. Born Adrienne Levine in Queens and raised on Long Island, Shelly lived in lower Manhattan with her family and had been focusing more lately on writing, directing and caring for her daughter, Sheedy said.
Shelly recently wrote and directed a film called Waitress, which starred Keri Russell and Nathan Fillion.
"She was so psyched about the film," Sheedy said. "She gathered an amazing cast, and she was really happy and excited to hear back from Sundance about it."
