Ford's medium-duty F-650 and F-750 trucks are being built in the U.S. for the first time. They started rolling off the line at the Ohio Assembly Plant this week after being previously built in Mexico.
The production move helps secure more than 1,000 hourly UAW jobs and a $168 million plant investment in the United States.
"Our investment in Ohio Assembly Plant reinforces our commitment to building vehicles in America and to delivering best-in-class commercial trucks," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president, The Americas. "Working with our partners in the UAW, we found a way to make the costs competitive enough to bring production of a whole new generation of work trucks to Ohio."
Opened in 1974, Ohio Assembly Plant employs nearly 1,400 people. In addition to now producing all Ford F-650 and F-750 models and configurations, the plant also produces Ford E-Series cutaway vans and stripped chassis.
Dodge is bringing back its Plum Crazy exterior paint hue. Back for a limited-production run, the color choice will be made available on 2016 Dodge Challenger and Charger models, including the ultimate-in-performance, 707-horsepower SRT Hellcat models and 485 best-in-class naturally aspirated R/T Scat Pack models.
"Powerful muscle cars painted in impactful colors make Woodward Dream Cruise the perfect setting for Dodge to debut the newest generation Challenger and Charger models in Plum Crazy," said Tim Kuniskis, President and Chief Executive Officer – Dodge Brand and SRT Brand, FCA – North America. "And with our strongest muscle-car arsenal ever, we knew it was time to reach into our Dodge paint code archive and offer our high-performance R/T Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat models in one of the most iconic exterior colors of all time."
Originally debuting in 1970, Plum Crazy hue spans several generations of muscle-car collectors and enthusiasts and has been a signature Dodge muscle car color ever since. Plum Crazy will open in September, one month early for sold orders only on 2016 Dodge Challenger or Charger models with production beginning this November.

Vasmay Lounge
269 E. Houston St.,
New York, NY 10002
This venue is closed.
When the owners of three East Village institutions (Nice Guy Eddie's, the Library, and Julep) painted the old Meow Mix bordello-red then hung neon beer signs in the window, the previous, lesbian clientele probably wept. But the changeover isn't a total loss. Now a desexualized neighborhood rec room, the bar suggests an adlib party that could peter out, or ramp up, any minute. There's a pool table at rear and a barrage of tchotchkesMexican streamers, a plastic palm tree, a mirror with Madonna painted on itadding plenty of color. Even when only a dozen, mostly male, customers are sitting at the few cocktail tables or on the incongruous car-seat bench, the small room feels full. A jukebox stocked with thrash and twang longs to draw East Village pub crawlers westward. But the owners' Avenue A joints have all the cred and the crowds. So far, Vasmay has the clutter.

One of the main things that parents can do with their preschool children is just simply read to them. If you can read to your child for 20-30 minutes a day, you will be surprised at how much they will learn. There are tons of children's picture books that teach about science, history, and the world around them with simple stories and pictures. Take advantage of these books when you are reading to your children and don't try to reinvent the wheel by forcing yourself to follow a preschool curriculum.
Your child might enjoy filling in workbooks and that is fine. Sometimes children will fill in whole workbooks and not retain any of the material though. Most of the fun of preschool comes in doing hands on activities with your children. If you are at a loss for ideas, just check out my 101 Ways to Make Preschool Fun books here and you'll have more than enough fun interactive times with your children.
They say that the more senses we use, the better we retain the material we have learned. Use this concept when teaching your preschool child. Read to them and interact with them and they will learn so much that it will make your head spin. Children love working along side of us and experiencing the world with their parents. Once you start homeschooling preschool this way, you will be able to move right on into Kindergarten and beyond.
Feel free to leave comments or questions for me if there is anything you need to know about homeschooling preschool or finding preschool ideas and activities.

Check Yourself: 7 Home Maintenance Tasks You Should Tackle in October
Oct 2, 2017
Ah, October. Temperatures are dropping, the days are growing shorter, and the pumpkin spice latte is, in a word, inescapable. But before you go hog wild with the Halloween decorations and settle in for that horror movie binge session, take some time to prep your home for winter's onslaught (buzzkill, we know!).
Luckily, we're here to make it a breeze with our handy checklist of home maintenance chores to tackle this month. Some of these are so quick and easy that you won't even miss a beat of that "Friday the 13th" marathon (although we'd recommend skipping "Jason X." He's in space—do we need to say more?) Read on for details about where to start, and who to call if you need reinforcements.

I saw this question posted to one of the fitness pages I currently follow. No plans in this post to give credit where credit is due because I do not want to credit a perfectly awesome page with lots of great advice in a negative post. Don't worry, page, I will credit you in a superly-awesome amazaballs way.
Yep! You're catching on quick…this, my friends, is a rant.
Now I have been struggling with my weight since 2009 when I hit the highest weight I had ever seen on a scale. I was matter-of-factly morbidly obese and BREAKING the scale at 346 pounds. No! Seriously. I broke it. When I would stand on the scale, the weight from my body would push the metal down and stop the little spinny thing from rotating.
I mean, I was SOOO much of a sex kitten that my rolls had rolls and I think (according to some lovely family members) my butt started to sprout another butt. I mean it…I had a mini ass coming off of my ass. I had a double ass.
Since this photo I have lost a lot of weight…and by a lot, I mean that I've lost a human and a half. There was a short period after the death of a close relative that I gained about 50 or 60 pounds in between. This weight gain prompted me to go even further into the fitness realm and make even MORE healthy changes like managing macros, building muscle, and taking the steps needed to not only lose weight but achieve greatness. Still a work in progress…
There were so many people who "worried" about me. Told me that I shouldn't really shovel ANYTHING into my body because I had already eaten enough and that I was going to kill myself if I continued on this way. With a smile I would walk away…stop at the drive thru and literally EAT those words. Nothing anyone said had an effect on me…well, of course, other than hurting my feelings.
I know what you're going to say… "It's for your own good."
To beat you to the punch. My answer to your ignorant statements justifying the reason why these people said such hateful things is, "bullshit." They didn't say it to be constructive, or loving because there were absolutely no other suggestions stated other than me losing weight. They didn't say it because they were worried. They said it because they saw an opportunity to belittle the person they considered a lesser human being because of her size.
Is there a way to help someone lose weight without being hurtful? ~Some user on Facebook, somewhere.
There is truthfully no way to suggest a lifestyle change of this magnitude to a person who is not ready to make those kinds of changes. The only thing you will do by trying to "help" is hinder any kind of progress that the person has been trying to do on their own.
Maybe, instead, consider this.
What if they are happy, confident, and content with the skin they are in? If the person you speak of is actually happy to be who they are and pleased with their appearance…then there is absolutely nothing you NEED to do to help them. Besides minding your own business.
If you know for a fact that being overweight is not where the person wants to be and you would still like to help. Try inviting them over for a healthy meal -I am assuming you know how to eat healthy if you are making such judgments- and show them what you can do with food in a healthy way, without all of the junk added. Schedule a day to get together and slowly walk around an interesting area in your neighborhood or use your guest pass at the gym.
If you want to be proactive. Help them. Don't just assume they are full of greed, lazy, and against change. Fat people are not your punching bag, they are not diseased, and they are people just like you. They just happen to be people that if pushed too much can sit on you and gouge your eyeballs out with their cereal spork -so- I would advise against being a dick.
❤ Scatter.

05-05-04 Defiance's Niese shuts down Celina
By Marc Tobias firstname.lastname@example.com
Celina's Western Buckeye League baseball title hopes took a bit of a hit on Tuesday against Defiance when the hometown Bulldogs ran into a buzzsaw named Johnathon Niese. Niese was phenomenal for Defiance, as the lefty came one out away from firing a no-hitter against Celina while compiling a 4-for-4 day at the plate. A Brian Geise single with two outs in the bottom of the seventh was the only thing keeping Niese from having the near perfect day. Niese helped Defiance, ranked No. 7 in Division II, to come away with a 5-0 win, and more importantly, move to 5-0 in the WBL. Celina, ranked No. 6 in Division I, suffered its first league loss to drop to 4-1 in WBL play. Niese finished with 10 strikeouts while allowing just two walks and one hit batsmen to pick up the complete-game victory. "He's the best we've seen all year," said Celina coach Bruce Boley. "Defiance always seems to have a run of guys, an all-star cast of people they could run out on the mound, and he definitely ranks in with the best of them." It was the second straight game where Celina appeared to struggle a bit at the plate, but still the Green and White entered yesterday with a team batting average of .373 while scoring approximately nine and a half runs per game. "It's just great to get out of here with a win in Celina," said Defiance coach Tom Held. "John beat a very good team, a team that can hit and then you throw in the rest, a shutout and a no-hitter through six and two-thirds, I mean what else can you say? John's been strong all year and when he throws strikes he's been pretty dominant. "There's a difference beating and shutting a team down, and then beating a great team like Celina, that shows you what kind of pitcher he is," Held added. Niese got all the run support in a mistake-filled first inning for Celina. Defiance had its first two runners reach base on an error and a walk, and then Austin Keel followed with a two-run single for an early 2-0 lead. Keel then stole second, and Niese reached on a bunt to put runners at the corners. Celina starting pitcher Brian Gagle was then called for a balk, allowing Keel to score from third which also moved Niese to second base. Niese then advanced to third on a Will Swary groundout to second base, and later scored on a Gagle wild pitch for a 4-0 first-inning lead. "Some insurance runs, as a pitcher I like that, it gives me room to pitch," Niese said. "It's a good win, I"m glad to get a win against the fifth-ranked team in Division I, to shut them out and get a one-hitter is surprising, but I like it. My changeup and curve was on, I had total command out there and that's what I needed to beat a good team like Celina." Boley said afterwards that he would have loved to have had the first inning back. "We just didn't make a few plays and a few pitches that had to be made. What did they make, four runs on two hits? Needless to say you have to tip your hats to them for executing and making the most of their opportunities," Boley said. "That's the name of this game, had they only gotten one or two that inning, who knows. But then again we didn't swing the bats too well and Niese had a terrific ball game." Geise relieved Gagle for one batter to end the first, and then Gagle reentered on the mound and settled down and pitched well the next five innings, but with the home team bats unable to touch Niese, the four runs in the first were too much to overcome. Celina had one runner reach scoring position for the game when Brad Niley got to second base in the fifth inning after getting hit by a pitch, but Niley was then picked off by Niese on a nice move to second. "I'm very pleased with our guys, we put a bunt down we ran the bases and that's what we've done all year, we try to put the pressure on the defense and this is the fastest team we've had since I've been at Defiance so that's what we try to do and it worked out today," Held said. Defiance finished with four steals and eight hits for the game. Defiance improves to 16-4 overall while Celina falls to 18-5. "The way this league is, you hope that somebody can knock them off and we can win out and get a piece of it," Boley said. "We're just going to shoot to be 8-1 in the league if we can, but there's a lot of tough ball games in between too." Celina returns to the diamond on Thursday in tournament action against Perrysburg in Bowling Green.

After much speculation Howard Wilkinson has finally been named as the new manager of Sunderland football club.
Wilkinson, who has been Technical Director for the Football Association since 1997, joins the Black Cats on a contract to the summer of 2005 and will take over team management with immediate effect. Steve Cotterill has been named as his assistant.
Wilkinson achieved the ultimate prize in English football when he guided Leeds to the First Division Championship (now Premier League) in 1992, having led them to promotion only two years earlier.
This confirmed his reputation as a coach and strategist, having cut his managerial teeth with Notts County and Sheffield Wednesday in the old First Division.
Steve Cotterill, widely regarded in the game as being one of the brightest young managers / coaches, will join the Black Cats as number two to Wilkinson. Cotterill, 38, is a UEFA-A qualified coach and one of only 12 coaches in the country to hold the UEFA Pro License - the highest qualification in Europe.
His coaching credentials and reputation have grown considerably in a short period of time and his rise in management has been swift.
As chairman of the League Managers Association, Wilkinson has advocated higher standards in coaching and believes England must come into line with the rest of Europe by requiring all top flight coaches to be suitably qualified.
A fully licensed FA, UEFA-A and UEFA Pro class coach himself he has also taken a leading role in the implementation of the UEFA Pro License in England, and has closely followed Steve Cotterill's progress over the last few years.
Wilkinson joined the Football Association as technical director in 1997 with responsibility for the development of Academy system in the English game. In addition he has also directed the progress of England's first national football centre, which is currently being constructed at Burton on Trent.
At an international level he has coached the England U18's and U21's and acted as temporary England Manager after the departure of Glen Hoddle.
Believing that he has achieved many of his personal goals with the Football Association, Wilkinson is now hungry to return to club management.
In his FA role he has become well acquainted with the country's most talented young performers as well as the best young football coaches, and has enjoyed working alongside national coach Sven Goran Eriksson.
Howard Wilkinson said: "I relish the challenge ahead here at Sunderland. It is clear to me that this is a club with a proud tradition, huge and faithful support and in the Stadium of Light and academy, facilities that will be second to none.
" I feel that I have benefited massively from my time as Technical Director at the FA. It was a great opportunity to take a step back from the narrow focus that club management can have and look at the new and modern developments that were occurring in the game. I am very grateful to Adam Crozier and the FA for understanding that the position at Sunderland is challenging and exciting at this stage in my career.
" I am really looking forward to working closely with Steve to develop what is on paper already a strong squad at Sunderland. Steve has established a tremendous reputation within the game in a relatively short space of time. With my experience and Steve's undoubted ability, I see bright and exciting times ahead for Sunderland Football Club and its supporters."
Making today's announcement Chairman Bob Murray said: " I have the utmost respect for Howard Wilkinson and his achievements as a club manager as well as more recently at the Football Association, where his vast experience and technical ability and knowledge of the game is highly regarded.
I should also like to thank the FA for releasing Howard from the remainder of his contract, which was not due to expire until June 2004. " As a manager Howard was never relegated and more significantly won the Premier League (Division One, as was in 1992) and managed to secure European football.
He remains highly respected in the world of football, and I know we couldn't have attracted a manager of his calibre just 5-years ago at Roker Park.
" The Wilkinson and Cotterill team was a key determinant of our decision to make this appointment. We believe this partnership will reap rewards as it brings a complimentary blend of experience and achievement, with technical expertise and new ideas. Whilst they may be from different eras, both Howard and Steve have impressive CV's, outstanding technical skills as well as the highest coaching qualifications in the game.
" I know Howard is hungry for a new challenge and very ambitious to achieve things at Sunderland. In the short term the priority must be to improve our league position and secure our Premier League status. Once we have achieved that we will need to consolidate to get back to the position we had progressed to in the League, before we can move forward and build on this.
" Finally, I must once again thank the Sunderland fans for their enormous patience and continued support in what have been trying times. I hope all supporters will join me in welcoming Howard and Steve to Sunderland and get fully behind the team as we move forward."

text: I made this video in response to a fairly common question. There are those of you who would appreciate a little more advance notification on our specials, and others who would like a set daily lunch special. I keep getting asked for sneak previews, and I always have to respond with, "The only one who knows is Mario." I've always felt it was rather off-putting, but it is the truth! The video was taken at a moment's notice, and it shows. Mario is very camera shy, and he wasn't going to set aside a time to be filmed, so this a catch as catch can! Hope this explains his method.

Paying our outfit respects, one kirakira at a time.
It really doesn't get more iconic than Paris Hilton dancing in her tiny chainmail dress, diamante choker and a fuck ton of boob tape at her 21st birthday party in the early aughts. It was the height of Paris mania, thanks to the Simple Life, Juicy sweatsuits, the prevalence of staged paparazzi shots at Kitson, all at a time where someone was famous just for being… famous. (Also, sex tapes.)
It's also a look worth re-creating. Here's our take:

This fine antique George Vsterling silver bowl has a plain octagonal tapering panelled form with a rounded lower portion.
The surface of the bowl is plain and unembellished.
The stepped rim is ornamented with an applied thread decorated border in the Art Deco style.
The bowl is supported by four Art Deco style tiered triangular feet.
This antique Art Deco bowl is a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in exceptional condition.
The bowl has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition.
Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the bowl are very clear; however the maker's mark is rubbed but determined as a strong probability to be Josiah Williams & Co (David Landsborough Fullerton).
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of antique silverware.

Geelani, Shah put under house arrest
The separatist leaders were arrested to prevent them from taking part in the funeral of a youth who died in Delhi.india Updated: Oct 12, 2006 14:11 IST
Senior separatist leaders Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Shabir Ahmad Shah were placed under house arrest as the funeral of a youth, found dead under mysterious circumstances in New Delhi, was carried out amid tight security on Thursday.
Geelani, chairman of the hardline faction of Hurriyat Conference, was placed under house arrest at his Hyderpora residence this morning while Shah, president of Democratic Freedom Party, was under restrictions at Rawalpora since on Wednesday to prevent them from taking part in the funeral of one Irshad Ahmad Lone, officials said.
According to deceased's family, Delhi Police informed them that Lone, a resident of Chanapora locality who had gone to the capital to find a job, was found injured on a highway and taken to a hospital where he succumbed.
However, the family alleged that he was killed by Delhi Police after being arrested on Tuesday. They claimed that torture marks were visible on his body.
Shah condemned the government action while spokesman of Hurriyat Conference Ayaz Akbar said it was for the seventh time during the past one-and-a-half months that restrictions were placed on Geelani.
Lone's body was brought to his house at Chanapora early on Thursday and was later buried at the local graveyard amidst tight security arrangements, officials said.
Several hundred slogan-shouting people participated in the funeral procession and demanded an inquiry into the youth's death. Police and paramiltary forces, along with water canon vehicles were deployed in the area. Shops and business establishments in Chanapora, Natipora and adjoining areas remained closed in protest against the youth's death.

Email Spamming & Inappropriate Use of This Site
It really saddens me that we come here for information and support and others view our collective efforts in these regards as opportunities for counterproductive and unproductive uses. Please take a look at the message that I received below. It is insulting and absurd and I want to alert each of you to the fact that you may be subjected to this nonsense. I don't know who to report messages like this to but hope that by posting in broadly it will inform you that bottom-feeders look to exploit the sincere efforts of each and all of us for nefarious purposes. Okay, my lectures over…but I do watch out for you guys:

Now there is a NEW person messing with us.
The screen name is testdiabetic and he (assumed gender) has started 2 discussions within the past hour. (click on the newest tab in the discussions) and you'll see them there. I redflagged both of them and asked that testdiabetic be kicked off the site and the posts deleted. Tom (old-n grey-n-wiser answered him on his first posting.
I didn't see that I don't think. I looked for it yesterday and never found the discussion, so maybe they were removed? Thanks for keeping watch, you rock!!
Whoever it was is gone now as are the posts. The community manager was on top of things yesterday. They disappeared not long after I posted the above.
If there is a red flag available I use it before I post to one of these discussions. If there is not a red flag available as on wall postings and email inbox messages
I highlight, copy and paste into a message to 2 or 3 administrators. then when that is done I will come to a discussion like this and post a warning.
Sounds good to me, I don't see how you could do it any other way? Also, speaking out as well alerts the rest of us while waiting for administraters to get to it.
Good job!!
It does, and warnings are good. But sometimes it gives an impression that this is all we are and it is a very small part of what happens in the site. The other thing is that sometimes we jump to conclusions. So we may be bad mouthing someone in a public way that just needs to know they cannot do certain things. I almost always try to reach out the the member before judging because sometimes (and I know this is hard to believe) people don't read the terms of use.
You know, you don't have to read TOU to know using profanity is not ok, especially what she was using.
i agree gabby I know I didn't read the TOU thoroughly when I first signed on.
I didn't bother till someone took a salesperson to task years ago.
Yes it is only a very small part of what we do but in some cases a word of warning is appreciated by the person. I had warned someone about posting a link to a MLM site where products were sold. That person thanked me for the warning and took down the link. That person is still on DC and contributes regularly. In fact I was "talking" to that person this AM.
In my warnings I try not to badmouth the person and be very polite to them, but say it strongly enough to get their attention. I have developed a template that I can copy into my response to the sales person.
As far as jumping to conclusions I did that this morning because I thought that Pharmacist George might be a salesperson when in reality he was be a new CA introducing himself to us. That was a bit embarassing to give him a hard time needlessly.
That is my point. Sometimes we need to step back and look. There are obvious ones, but sometimes it is not so clear. We have many members here who started out on the wrong foot.
In no way to I want you guys to stop doing what you are doing. I hope you don't take that from my comments. What I am saying is that I try to make sure before I say anything especially in the public format. I usually approach people privately first. I know you don't all have access to every member as I do. That is why we appreciate it when you let us know first so we can check things out.
Are you guys still getting these or are they just left in your email boxes? We found a couple of them in her name. But if you are still getting them, please give us the link to the profile so we can look into it. Thanks for all you guys do. We couldn't do this without you.
I haven't receive anymore.
Thank you for addressing this.
I got the same message on my profile,she sent me a email to my email address to,she's from the Ivory coast of africa
I have seen people who are on DC who use their email address as their screen name. And I have seen people post their email addresses in an open discussion which can be visible through a search on Google. I urge those in both categories to get it changed. (yes your screen name CAN be changed if you ask the administrators to get the techs to do it) And of course you yourself can edit your own postings (except for the original post)
Sounds like your email address is set on Public. I recommend that you go to your Privacy Settings page and change that immediately to prevent this from happening again.
I actually like your approach. I still view these with abject amazement. It is simply crude and vulgar to go to a site where people share medical, and other, challenges and ignore that content to advance your desire to solicit money (isn't it always money). As an aside, I am sure that every single Nigerian "female" is actually a man.
I think we should all handle it this way, or perhaps even more directly.
Great idea.
Yes, Scott, it is, but to those inside the "third world" we are the crude and vulgar ones in that we are so wealthy and we won't share it. (Even in our "poverty" we really are more wealthy than those in the 3d world, on a $ to $ comparison)
A few years ago just after my divorce I was contacted on a dating website by a "female" from a small town outside of St Petersburg Russia. After a few exchanges with "her" it became clear to me that the thing to whom I was responding was in reality a computer program designed to send out a pre-programed reply whenever I replied to her. It became clear when I replied to "her" with a gibberish email and got a reply back which ignored my gibberish and continued on with "her" agenda.
I am concerned about the population of Nigeria, for if EVERY single Nigerian "female" is male how will they reproduce? LoL!
I got a new one Just now in my DC email box: I had just read this discussion again and was notified just of the email just now.
Just edited out the email at gabby's request.
Yeah, I just got her too. She has been reported and flagged. The weekends always seem to bring out the worst in folks.
James, if you would please remover her email from your post for us though. We don't want to spread anything out here that curious folks might get into. I know it is out there already, but the fewer places it shows up the better. Thanks
Thank you for taking care of this.
And thank all of you who responded with your suggestions how to address it.
Just like in my e-mail, if I don't recognize the sender it gets trashed. It is a shame that some of the mail I trash is from people who really want to talk. Oh, watch out for phishing from IRS it's that time of the year.
I got the same one, or something very similar. Spam such as this is NOT from some legitimate person looking for a date. It is the work of professional spammers, probably in Asia or eastern Europe. Once they get you to reply to their message with your real e-mail address, you will wind-up on every spam list known to man. Do NOT e-mail them to complain. You will just be giving them what they really want. Your contact information.
Thanks, I got the same one, glanced at it and went on to answer something else. When I went back and read it, I couldn't believe it. I was going to say something, but it was late, was going to do it today. This is not the place for it, I'm glad it was taken care.
I was online late one night while this person was posting. I sent her an email saying this was a health related site, not a dating service, and that her inappropriate postings had been reported to administration. She had posted about 50 times when I saw it. Administration did remove her.
It was kind of obvious; it went on for pages and pages. Pat says she counted them at 150. Mary Ann had caught someone else doing this a few weeks before. Since most are addressed to adult males or those with more androgenous names, it's kind of obvious this is the cyber equivalent of the mail order bride of the 1900's.
but as I found out not every one who posts these are female. I was emailed through a dating website by a "girl'" from Russia who had seen my profile and was crazy in love with me. As I responded to her it became clearer and clearer to me that what was happening is that she was responding to none of the questions I was asking, and she just went on and on about her life and her troubles. I eventually decided to test this and sent her a email full of gibberish, and she went on with her reply as though I hadn't sent gibberish. It became clear to me I was having an affair with a computer program designed to send the next letter once I sent anything. Needless to say I ended that "relationship" quickly.
And I read of a fella who went overseas to meet his "sweetheart" and he was met at the airport by 3 thugs who took him to meet his new intended, only when they got there there was no "sweetheart" there. The thugs held him captive until a ransom was paid. This fella was not wealthy so he couldn't pay what they wanted so he was instructed to email friends in the USA to ransom him. Fortunately this guy somehow tricked these thugs into letting him escape.
So it may not be the cyber equivalent of the mail order bride, but a out and out scam and deception.
My point was everyone who posts these messages are male, by the way, I was being facetious. I think you may be right though. Someone suggested these emails were sent out to males; but my "name" here is neither male nor female and the picture on my profile isn't even human. Maybe I just made your point, the author of these messages may not be human either.
I have to admit, I really like this site even if it has the occasional pseudo-quasi-semi-romantic unwelcomed messages.
They have been reported and should be gone soon. I am sorry for the trouble they have caused.
I think that sometimes people think the "connect" in our name makes us a dating site...hmmm. Maybe we should be called double dee. Dating Diabetics. LOL....seriously. NO.
This has to be some kind of computer generated program because they just managed to post over 150 of these messages in less than 15 minutes.
Well all computers even laptops notebooks and etc have an ID of whatever they are using…The Admin can block that ID number. Just a thought
I am not privy to the way they resolve those kinds of things. I know they check into all of our concerns and act on them the best way they are able. We have a great team of people who work behind the scenes to make this site work as well as it does.
I believe Temi is referring to the isp address, this is the way your email provider sorts spam from regular mail.
Tom, that is what I was thinking, but who knows how many computers this person has or uses.
Usually a person even with several computers has only one Internet supplier due to cost, not sure how it works if you are using a Mobile device.
I was thinking work, library, friends, etc. But you do havea point. I don't know how much about mobile devices either.
maybe someone from tech support could drop in and explain some of the ways this could happen
I was thinking of asking the neighbors 7yr old, as I'm sure she has it down, probably learned it in school, haha. You know the whole child proof thing, it only works on adults.
Could be a one person or a hundred. But it isn't hard for someone with computer knowledge to change their IP address or route their computer through multiple hosts, different routers and go to different open WiFi locations. This can even be done on a phone or ipod, anything that has internet access.
I didn't get one, and that person should be very glad! I have great comebacks for crap like this, and then I report them! I once told an obscene phone caller that I only "did it" with German Shephards, and he hung up on ME!! My apologies to German Shephards everywhere :)
Awesome! Maybe someday these people will get the hint!
Pedophiles do this also just to see who will answer. Posing as a young girl might get the attention of a young girl for them to prey on. All this person will do is change their information and continue to return. This person may also have more than one computer.
I got a copy and reported it immediately… I think Alliance Health needs to do a blanket delete and block that spammer…
You can block any person from your profile. There is a link at the bottom left of the profile pages that allows you to block and/or report the person. Please feel free to take advantage of that feature. It helps us find things like this much faster than going through a discussion.
Gabby, I did block them and used the "Report" button also… I understand how these things work.
Gabby can you just Block someone without having to fill out the Report box?
The problem with blocking someone is they can create a new email address and another account ID. Blocking their ISP does not work either especially if they go online in a public place such as a library or coffee shop etc.
Digital I have received these spams on other forums. It sounds like it is written by a Nigerian wanting to come to the US. They find people on all sites. While this type of thing is very disturbing remember this type of people forage all forum sites looking for easy prey. Sites like this make it easy to join which is great and they really cannot do background checks on all site applicants.
God bless,
I have also received the posting to my "wall" from this person. I went to this person's profile and noted on her activities tab that "she" had posted the same thing on many other peoples' walls. (gee I am heart-broken, I thought it was true love — LoL!)
I also have emailed Jralphs, John Crowley and Gabby and included what I received and also what I noted on "her" activities tab.
Over the years I've been here, I have found that if there's not a red flag available I get good results with copying and pasting and emailing what I see to administrators. They are usually quick to jump on the problem, and there have been many over the years.
James, I am an overweight, partially disabled, unatractive diabetic woman and would sincerely love to meet you :) Oops I forgot to mention old.
That would be rubenesque with charachter and experience.
Mary, you forgot the part about being a great friend. The rest is unimportant :)
Yup, looks like we all got one. The risks of technology I guess. Don't worry James, she was too short for you anyway.
Hey, I didn't get one? What, am I not her type? This is going to scar me for life.
Nick I didn't get a message from her :( LOL she does not sound like my type either for #1 she is a she LOL

Neuman Death Watch Due to falling sales and a worsening economy, venerable humor mag Mad is giving up its monthly schedule to come out quarterly. The magazine, which began as a comic book in 1952 and shifted to magazine size with issue #24, sold 2 million copies at its peak. Current figures are roughly one-tenth that. The mag's companion titles, Mad Kids an Mad Classics are being canned altogether. The change comes in April, with the 500th issue and the price will go to $5.99 -- up a buck. Insiders tell RadarOnline.com that as soon as parent TimeWarner can figure out how to make the title work online, the print edition will probably cease altogether.

A shortage of almost 200,000 nurses could cripple the NHS in three years, a Government report will reveal.
The study notes up to a third of the existing 600,000 will retire in a few years, leaving a huge deficit, the Sunday People reports.
In the worst-case scenario, the gap between supply and demand will soar to an overall shortage of 190,000 by 2016, it predicts.
The Centre for Workforce Intelligence report comes just weeks after an inquiry highlighted how understaffing contributed to the deaths of up to 1,200 patients at Stafford Hospital.
Now health ministers are facing an even bigger staffing crisis that could affect patient safety in hundreds of hospitals.
Royal College of Nursing chief Dr Peter Carter said: "Cuts in nurses' training places may lead to inadequate numbers for patients' needs."

Multilateral Diplomacy / La diplomatie multilatérale
306,34 €
Multilateral Diplomacy / La diplomatie multilatérale
In the first part of this book, distinguished diplomats and eminent academics have contributed papers on the concept of international organization, on international conference diplomacy and on negotiating strategies, while experts have provided practical advice on conference management and tips on getting ideas and positions heard and understood in this particular setting.
A second part includes notices on the United Nations organizations headquartered in Geneva, with special emphasis on what may be called their `institutional culture', and a third part, including an invaluable presentation by the Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs, is devoted to the question of privileges and immunities.
There are many studies, academic or otherwise, on the United Nations organizations but hardly any provide this kind of practical guidance for diplomats and national officials first confronted with the Geneva multilateral setting. The book is primarily intended for them, but is also of interest for those concerned with international relations.

Christian author Amber Dee Parker just released a new children's book designed to teach children that real families are straight ones. The Journal Star reports:
People who have never met Amber Dee Parker or read her children's book call her hateful. A bigot. But the Lincoln-born-and-raised first-time author is resolute in her conviction: Her book "God Made Dad & Mom" offers a loving and gentle way to teach children about the sinfulness of same-sex marriage and the homosexual "lifestyle choice." She says the words on the 32-page book are not her own, but God's — as revealed to her one night in 2009… She is certain God called her to write this storybook four years ago — the morning after Iowa voted to recognize same-sex marriages. She woke up with the story fully written in her head. "I couldn't get out of bed fast enough," she recalled. "God gave me the story which ran through my mind like a Rolodex."
I'm sure she'll sell thousands, to Christians who want to teach their kids that being gay is a sin. And many of those kids will be gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgender, and will grow up thinking their very existence is a sin. Very sad.

Natural History Museum Opens at New Site
With the first stage of renovations complete, the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History is now partially open on the first floor of its new location next to Gampel Pavilion. An interactive exhibit about biodiversity, "In Our Backyards," is featured in the museum's small changing exhibit area.
"These are exciting times for the museum," says Ellen J. Censky, director. "We are thrilled to be in our new home and are also thankful to the University and our supporters who have sustained us for so long." The first phase of renovation was funded through UConn 2000.
"The museum's metamorphosis is a wonderful thing to observe," says President Philip E. Austin. "The museum's programs play a vital role in implementing our mission of service to all the people of our state and this prominent new location on campus provides it with the foundation needed to continue its development."
The major renovation project still lies ahead. The second phase will begin as soon as the museum has raised the $3.5 million in funding needed to complete a three-story addition to the front, a major exhibit area on the second floor, and a third-floor program space.
While under renovation, the museum continues to serve more than 70,000 people on and off campus annually.
Although it is just the first step, the new space makes it possible for the Museum to offer special workshops. The "In Our Backyards" exhibit offers visitors to campus, as well as members of the University community, the opportunity to take an intimate look at the role that biodiversity plays in everyday life. The exhibit was developed in collaboration with UConn faculty.
"Much of the Museum of Natural History's strength derives from its close ties to faculty, staff, and students at the University, says Kent Holsinger, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and chair of the museum's board of directors.
The mission of the museum is to promote an understanding and appreciation of the natural and cultural world, especially as related to southern New England, and help the people of Connecticut think more critically about the environment and their role within it. The renovation and proposed future initiatives build on a tradition begun in 1985, when the museum was established by the state Legislature.
"We invite people to stop in to see what we have planned and share in our metamorphosis," says Censky.
The museum is open on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and before basketball games, to serve those who come to campus early.

JOHANNESBURG, Nov 2 (Reuters) - South African retailer The Foschini Group (TFG) reported a drop in half-year earnings on Thursday as the cost of acquisitions weighed and feeble economic growth hurt the nation's retailers.
The firm, which also sells jewellery and furniture, posted a headline earnings per share (EPS) drop of 2.8 percent to 482,7 cents for the six months to end-September, compared with the previous year's 5.7 percent growth to 496.8 cents.
Headline EPS is the main profit measure in South Africa and strips away certain one-off items. (Reporting by TJ Strydom; Editibg by Tiisetso Motsoeneng)

Leadership Tools and Resources
Scroll down or choose from the menu below to jump straight there.
Affiliate Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning is a process in which an organization sets priorities, focuses energy resources, develops the goals of the organization and measures your success.
ACNM has developed introductory guides to assist affiliate leaders with their strategy planning. These guides are useful to affiliates just beginning the process as well as affiliates that want to formalize their work already in progress.
Affiliate Meetings
Affiliate meetings are some of the best ways to engage your members and strengthen your community. A lot of work goes into the planning and execution of your successful meeting, so to help you out, we've pulled together some suggestions that will help take the stress out of meeting planning.
Affiliate Listserv
ACNM is dedicated to providing affiliates with services that enhance their ability to connect and communicate with members to build an active and engaged affiliate. ACNM is pleased to offer two types of e-Midwife discussion listservs for each ACNM affiliate.
All Member Listserv
The first listserv is made up of all current affiliate members with email addresses listed in their ACNM membership record. To send a message to the affiliate discussion listserv, a list member simply needs to send an email addressed to the list from the email account that is on file in their ACNM membership record. The email address to send messages to the all members discussion list for your affiliate is your state's postal abbreviation @emidwife.org.(e.g. [email protected])
Affiliate Officers Listserv
The second discussion list is an affiliate officer discussion listserv. This listserv is populated with all the officers currently listed for the affiliate and again, this list will update daily to pick up any changes to the affiliates officers. The email address for the officer discussion list simply adds "–officers" to the address of the all members discussion list.
Please click on the link to find additional information about accessing the listservs and general guidelines for use. e-Midwife Listserv.
Creating an Online Presence
Having a website can help you communicate with the affiliate members and the public.This will help with engagement and involvement of the members in the affiliate.ACNM is pleased to offer free web hosting for affiliate websites (also known as "micro-sites").
To learn more about the micro-sites, please click here to read about the features and training available through ACNM or check out our template affiliate micro-site. There are many options available when using the micro-sites, including color schemes and the menu of content, so each micro-site will be individual.
Branding the Affiliate
It is important that all of the communications to members have the same look and feel so that members can easily recognize that it is from the affiliate. If your affiliate does not have a logo, ACNM has one developed that incorporates the ACNM logo and is available to all affiliates. If you are interested in using the ACNM affiliate logo, please complete the Affiliate Logo Use Agreement.
Social Media
Affiliates may choose to have an presence on Social Media in addition to a website. This is another tool to help communicate with your members and the general public about the Affiliate and midwifery.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of network gear maker F5 Networks (NASDAQ:FFIV) plunged 12% today after its quarterly results and outlook missed Wall Street expectations.
So what: F5's wide fourth-quarter miss -- adjusted EPS of $1.12 versus the consensus of $1.19 -- and downbeat guidance for the current quarter reinforce concerns over its vulnerability to the soft global economy. Like rival network equipment maker Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), F5 continues to be seriously hurt by weak spending from big telecom customers, giving investors little hope for a near-term turnaround.
Now what: Management now sees first-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.14-$1.16 on revenue of $363 million-$370 million, well below the consensus of $1.20 and $373.5 million, respectively. "While we are excited about these new products and their potential to drive revenue growth, current macroeconomic conditions and our expectation of normal Q1 seasonality have tempered our outlook for the near term," cautioned CEO John McAdam. Of course, with the stock now off about 40% from its 52-week highs and trading at a forward P/E of 15, now might be a good time to buy into F5's still-attractive long-term prospects.

Korea's toilet and bidet revolution: How Korea got on board with the non-paper wiping culture
World's largest public toilet opens in Japan: It's actually a really nice design. Public toilets as art. Have you noticed that Asian countries seem far more inclined to spend more time on their sanitation than anybody else. Good for them.
Sulabh Toilet International, an Indian organization that builds public toilets in urban areas and educates manual scavengers, is being written about again, this time in a Tanzanian newspaper. (Hopefully a precursor to spreading their model to Africa?)
Jack Sim, founder of World Toilet International, gives business advice to Israeli students.
Two men in Oregon were fired after complaining to the government that their boss did not provide an on-site toilet and were forced to use a bucket.
Activists in Mumbai are fighting for the right of women to use public toilets without pay. Men don't have to pay; women do. They're calling it the "Right to Pee."
BBC columnist asks whether the toilet problem in India is a "cultural problem." (Disclaimer: I don't like this article at all.)
Scientists have done research and found that a drug formerly used to treat arthritis can be used to treat dysentery.

I have to admit that I have been struggling to get my sewing mojo back since finishing my Tone It Down quilt! With my demands as a wife, mother, friend, neighbor, etc., I have really only been sewing for about 10-20 minutes a day, which doesn't really translate into a lot of finishes. I'm really glad I started blogging about other quilter's projects to get some inspiration and to live vicariously through their victories! Here are some of the quilts/projects I loved seeing this week.
Love this bright quilt by Molli that he made using charm squares!
I really like the geometric shape that is created in the negative space of this quilt. The colors are so soothing and beautiful!
Emily shares her tutorial for this quilt over on the Moda Bakeshop. Check it out!
Love this cute little zippered bag by Mahriam! Perfect for a little tote for my girls' books and activities for long car rides or church.
This is Nancy's first hexagon quilt and it looks great! I love the cool tones and the purple binding!
As always, if you have a finish throughout the week and would like to be featured on my next Share the Love post, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Freedom to Marry in Arkansas
Winning Marriage: June 26, 2015
The United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of the freedom to marry nationwide on June 26, 2015, allowing all same-sex couples in Arkansas the ability to marry once and for all. The decision followed more than a year of marriage litigation in the state, including several weeks of legal weddings in May 2014.
History and the Path to Victory:
- February 17, 1997: The Arkansas Legislature passes a state statute restricting marriage to different-sex couples. Governor Mike Huckabee signs the bill into law.
- November 2, 2004: Opponents of the freedom to marry in Arkansas push through Amendment 3, a constitutional amendment denying same-sex couples the freedom to marry and any other legal family status. The amendment cements clearly discriminatory language into the Arkansas Constitution.
- 2004-2013: As Americans nationwide engage in conversations about why marriage matters, national and local advocates in Arkansas take strides toward increasing understanding of same-sex couples and their families.
- May 2014: Polling in Arkansas tracks a marked growth in support for the freedom to marry, reflecting the power of the national discussion of why marriage matters.
- July 2, 2013: Same-sex couples and private lawyer Cheryl Maples files a state legal case seeking the freedom to marry in Arkansas, Wright v. Smith. In the same month, a federal case, Jernigan v. Crane is filed, building momentum for marriage in the courts. Read the initial complaints in Wright and Jernigan.
- May 9, 2014: State Judge Chris Piazza rules in favor of the freedom to marry in the case Wright v. Smith, striking down the state's marriage ban. Read the ruling. The ruling is stayed on May 16, 2014, but not before nearly every county issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples. These couples are the first married same-sex couples in the American South.
- November 25, 2014: U.S. District Court Judge Kristine G. Baker rules in favor of the freedom to marry in Jernigan v. Crane, staying her ruling pending appeal. Read the ruling.
- June 9, 2015: State Judge Wendell Griffen rules in Frazier-Henson v. Walther that the 500+ marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples in May 2014 are valid, fueling momentum just weeks before the Supreme Court's final ruling on marriage. Read the ruling.
- June 26, 2015: The United States Supreme Court rules in favor of the freedom to marry, ending marriage discrimination across the country.
Groups That Actively Worked on Marriage:
- Center for Artistic Revolution is a 501(c)(3)-sponsored statewide organization that strives for fairness and equality for all Arkansans.
- Freedom to Marry was the campaign to win marriage for same-sex couples nationwide.

The Future
The past few days have been really hectic with one thing racing in my mind: the future.
The future has always been an unpredictable event, full of surprises with twists and turns.. but when comes the time where you are face-to-face with it, it gets really scary.
I'm currently a first-year student, hoping to major in the Business field in the near future. Marketing, Account, or Finance.. I'm not quite sure where I want to be headed yet.
Lots of uncertainties cloud my future, and I can't help but be tad bit worried.
My love for Fashion has slowly been growing, and I question myself if I should go down that road.. but I fear I am not knowledgeable enough in that field to succeed in. Perhaps do a fashion-business related path?
So definetly putting on my 'nerd' gear on and pushing myself 100% into my studies... >___> Okay, maybe 90%, .. at least 80%? :S
~~~~~~~~~~~Anyways in other news, I got a new camera! The 'Olympus STYLUS-7040.' I managed to grabbed this brand new sucker for just $79 on the net! I usually go for Canon, but I wanted to try out the 'beauty function' on this thing that so many bloggers have raved about.
I'll let you guys know the results soon, so far I don't see a huge difference. But that's viewing from the camera, instead of the computer. Can't wait to snap photos with it! My old camera was seriously sucking a lot..
Some of you may have heard the recent announcement of Katy Perry's 'The California Dreams' Tour. She's heading down to my city this summer, and I am debating whether to purchase tickets or not!! I'm not a huge fan of her voice, but I really love the theme and her latest songs. Not to mention she is beyond gorgeous, and has an amazing personality to go with!
Apparently there's GLOW-IN-THE-DARK COTTON CANDY!!!
I'm heading down the States this weekend to visit some family friends so I wanted to put a post up before I leave.
I actually went two weeks ago to go shopping and had an interesting experience with a lovely girl scout. So I was kind enough to stop by and do a survey for her on 'Girls and Self-Esteem Issues.'
Girl Scout: Do you feel like you have talent
to showcase to the world?
Myself: No.
Girl Scout: ...
Myself: Yeah I know, it's quite sad... :(
Girl Scout: It is..
to showcase to the world?
Myself: No.
Girl Scout: ...
Myself: Yeah I know, it's quite sad... :(
Girl Scout: It is..
Definitely one of those things that didn't need an answer.. but she was 14/15 ish, I'll let her go.. Grr!
Have been reading a lot of blogs lately and roaming around, it's an amazing to see what a wonderful community blog spot is, and the interesting aspects of different people's lives!
Anyways, enough for now. Will be back soon! Xo

text: | Reprints August 10, 2012 by Ümit Tunçel, MD; Hasan Mete İnançlı, MD; Şefik Sinan Kürkçüoğlu, MD; Murat Enoz, MD Abstract We conducted a retrospective study of 35 adults who had undergone tongue base suspension in addition to other surgery for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Our goal was to determine the most effective surgical approach by comparing these patients' preoperative apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) with their postoperative scores at 6 months. The 35 patients were divided into three groups based on a preoperative assessment of their level of airway obstruction; the assessment included a determination of AHI and endoscopic findings during the Müller maneuver. Patients in group 1 (n = 9) exhibited unilevel obstruction, and they were treated with lateral pharyngoplasty; patients in group 2 (n = 13) also had unilevel obstruction, and they underwent Z-palatoplasty; patients in group 3 (n = 13) had multilevel obstruction, and they underwent combined surgery. Postoperatively, all three groups exhibited statistically significant improvements in AHI, but we determined that of the three approaches, multilevel surgery was significantly more effective (p < 0.001).

Sol electrophoretic growth of oxide nanostructures: synthesis, properties and modeling
Limmer, Steven J
MetadataShow full item record
There is great interest in the ability to form oxide (especially complex oxide) nanorods, given the number of functional properties exhibited by oxide materials. This research examines the template-based growth of nanorods of several oxide ceramics, formed by means of a combination of sol-gel processing and electrophoretic deposition. While sol electrophoretic deposition has been known for some time as a technique for formation of films, this work pioneers its use for the formation of nanorods.Both single metal oxides (TiO2, SiO2) and complex oxides (BaTiO3, Sr2Nb2O7, and Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3) have been grown by this method. Uniformly sized nanorods of about 45--200 nm in diameter and 10--60 mum in length were grown over large areas with near unidirectional alignment. Desired stoichiometric chemical composition and crystal structure of the oxide nanorods was readily achieved by an appropriate procedure of sol preparation, with a heat treatment for crystallization and densification. A systematic study of the influence of the several processing parameters was undertaken to determine optimal processing conditions. Preliminary property measurements for several oxide nanorod systems are also reported.In addition, this work presents and discusses the formation and properties of silica and titania nanorods encapsulated with a thin gold shell. Nanorods of silica and titania ∼10 mum in length and with diameters ∼90--200 nm are made by combining sol-gel electrophoresis with a suitable template. After removing the template at high temperature, the surface of the rods is re-hydrolyzed by heating in water. 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane is reacted with the surface hydroxyl groups, self-assembling amine functionality on the surface of the rods. These groups act as anchoring sites for the gold, which forms a thin shell around the oxide nanorod. UV-vis absorbance spectra of these samples are analyzed to determine the relationships between shell thickness, core size, core material and properties.

Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I pass on the information that Retroist artist and contributor Sean Hartter has passed away. All of us here at the Retroist send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the Hartter family during this time of grief.
I had thought about removing this post but since Sean chose this week's Saturday Frights I felt it would be wrong to not share it with everyone.
Welcome back you Fiend Friends to another installment of Saturday Frights, the place you can count on for your weekend dose of Horror and Terror related Retro offerings. This week we have a film pick from Retroist artist extraordinaire Sean Hartter and he has chosen the 1968 Jack Hill directed cult classic 'Spider Baby' which stars Lon Chaney Jr. (The Wolfman, 13 Demon Street), Sid Haig (Foxy Brown, The Devil's Rejects), Jill Banner (Ironside, Adam-12), Beverly Washburn (Old Yeller, Star Trek) and Mantan Moreland (The Bill Cosby Show, Adam-12).
The story involves the three Merrye 'children' played by Haig, Banner, and Washburn who suffer from "Merrye Syndrome", a genetic affliction that attacks members of the family, it causes them to mentally and physically regress down the evolutionary ladder, beginning at the end of childhood. Lon Chaney Jr. plays Bruno, their guardian and chauffeur. The trouble begins when two distant relatives decide to visit the decaying rural mansion that Bruno and the Merrye children call home in an effort of claiming the property as rightfully theirs. To aid them they've brought along their lawyer and his secretary…and things go right out of control.
So grab your favorite beverage and snacks and make sure to turn down the lights as you join Sean Hartter and myself as we visit the Merrye estate and the wicked 'Spider Baby'!

As well as thanking Sean Hartter for his wonderful pick this week I as always want to thank him for that wonderful header artwork you see up top. Make sure to visit his personal blog by clicking on the link up above to see even more fantastic art!
