Woman convicted in baby’s death

Topeka Capital-Journal, The, Jul 8, 2010

The Capital-Journal

A Marysville woman has been convicted of second-degree intentional murder in the death of her newborn whose unattended death brought attention to Kansas’ safe haven law.

Attorney General Steve Six announced Wednesday that Lauren Holle, 20, pleaded guilty to second-degree intentional murder, aggravated abandonment of a child and abuse of a child. Sentencing was scheduled for Aug. 24 in Marshall County.

The state alleged on June 16, 2009, Holle gave birth to a child, wrapped it in a plastic garbage bag and placed the baby in her vehicle’s back seat. Only after her family sought medical attention for Holle did she provide information that led to discovery of the baby in her car. According to the coroner’s report, the child was born alive but died due to lack of proper care or restriction of breathing.

“This is a tragedy that didn’t have to happen,” Six said. “This horrible crime and unnecessary loss of life would have been prevented simply by surrendering the child under the Kansas Newborn Infant Protection Act. All women and their families need to be aware of the safe haven law that exists in Kansas.”

The purpose of the Kansas Newborn Infant Protection Act, commonly referred to as the safe haven law, is to ensure unwanted infants are left with people who can provide the immediate care needed for their safety and well-being.

The law, which took effect in January 2007, allows a parent or other person having lawful custody to surrender the infant to any employee on duty at a fire station, city or county health department, or medical care facility

Shared hosting is going to cost around 10.00 a month compared to dedicated hosting which can run around $75 or more a month. If you receive a large number of visitors a day, or have a fairly large database driven dynamic website, dedicated hosting is the only way to go. Most Search engine specialists will recommend a dedicated server over a shared server even for small websites due to the possibility that your site could theoretically be penalized for shady actions taken by other websites that share your sever and IP address. So if you choose to start off with shared hosting, shop around and make sure you will be sharing your sever with a reputable company that hosts reputable websites. Even though some companies offer webhosting for $3 or $4 dollars a month, it doesn?t mean it is a good buy. Spammers know where the cheap prices are, as they register them in bulk!

Now the fun part! The final task is the most challenging of all, the building of the website itself.

Suddenly, the smell of danger raised the hairs on their backs and they froze like statues even before they saw the horrible sight. As their eyes adjusted to the pure sunlight, the kittens saw they were at the edge of a brightly lit clearing, filled with dry weeds and golden grasses. Up against a rock wall were their brothers and sisters, cringing in the presence of… Jackal! A very large Jackal! He was in between Mother and her kittens. Mother was crouched and snarling behind him. Everyone knew Jackals eat kittens! Glancing back and forth between the kittens and their mother, Jackal sneered and boasted to her, “You know I’m going to get at least one of them, maybe even two.

Broadband users get half speed advertised

0 Comments | Evening Times; Glasgow (UK), Jul 27, 2010

Broadband users are getting less than half the download speed they pay for, a new report has warned.

Industry regulator Ofcom has revealed internet access is getting faster but the gap has widened between actual speeds and their advertised rates.

Speeds have increased by almost a third since April 2009 but the average consumer is receiving less than 50% of what is being advertised.

An Ofcom report last summer also found that speeds in Scotland were three times slower than in South Korea.

The watchdog has updated its voluntary code of practice, which has been signed by all major internet service providers (ISPs).

The new code will now give customers the right to cancel their contract without penalty if their speed is significantly below what their ISP estimated.

This incorrect thinking and perceiving has created what you call a mess.”

“Hmm, it may seem rather clear to you. But can you explain it to us a little more fully. See, we’re not at all happy about anything, and people have reached a point where they feel that they can’t even take it anymore.”

“I’ll try and explain it as clearly as I can.

“Creation is a miracle. All of it. The vast, overwhelming smorgasbord of sounds, colors, and sensations. The teeming world of diversity, change, and adventure. The laughter of friends. The soft words of a loved one. The touch of wind on your cheek as you step out of your front door.

“Yet how much do people appreciate it?

“So little that they don’t even think of it.

“Instead people pine over how little they have.

Enrich Your Future With Scentsy Success by Carin Davis
in Home / Home Business (submitted 2010-01-26)

Transforming a house into a home, definitely requires many inclusions. The delicious smell of cooking, on returning home. Adding up a wonderful game night, pushing up for a seat on the couch and watching a wonderful movie as a family. However, ambiance also accommodates fragrance, and this is where Scentsy gets in.

Kara Egan and her sister-in-law, Colette Gunnell in Meridian, Idaho, came up with this innovative thought of building up a wickless candle company, after getting inspiration from an episode of Oprah Winfrey show. The product created by these two women, was exhibited in the Salt Lake City Trade show, where proprietors like Orville and Heidi Thompson became much interested.

The notion of having a warming plate positioned on an enhancive holding device that has a bulb of low watt, is not only simple to understand but also very easy and productive to build. This simplistic conception can easily materialize into filling up a room with one of 80 aromas held in an ambrosial bar of wax, to be placed on the heating plate. Apart from including the usual fragrances like that of lavender, cinnamon and vanilla,certain extraordinary effluxes like banana nut bread are also offered.

Apart from offering this large collection of fragrances, the company also provides a profound assortment of classic holders. Every room of the house can be decorated with one of these, because of the miscellany in designs, colors and attributes. Additionally, the company enables one to custom design their own warmers and get a chance to avail the membership to a “warmer of the month club”. An ideal thing, for the vacations that come throughout the year.

If a man feels left out or deluged by the homey, some might say feminine properties of the products, then there are warmers for him too. Scentsy offers a wide variety of warmers with colors and logos of college and professional sports team.

Now one can feel safe in enjoying an extra glass of wine without worrying for any cause of fire, since there are no flares and the bulb is also controlled and incorporated inside a holder.

The most beneficial part is, anyone can apply to be a member of the Scentsy team. A large number of Scentsy’s sales are gained from community parties like mom used to have with her Tupperware. The sales procedure of the product is as personal as the product itself, and according to the facts, only 12% of overall sales is constituted through web and other outlets.

Once you’ve established a connection with the consultant, you just need to spend a spare amount of $99, in order to throw your first party. It all can be accommodated in one shopping bag and the way, the prices are organized, is so easy to understand, you can do the calculation in a moment.

Later, Scentsy takes responsibility of everything but the enjoyment!
