If you're trying to stretch the family dollar, we have some fun ideas for using things you probably have around this house in a different way than you originally intended.
Questions every parent should ask when
screening any babysitter or child care provider.
Question 1: Why do you want this job?
Question 2: Can you give me some examples of activities you would do with a child at age 3, 5, 7 – whatever the age of the child
Question 3: What type of experience do you have with children – training and/or credentials?
Background Checks
Often online databases can have unverified or inaccurate information on them. The key to a good background check is to make sure that a real person – a live investigator - is verifying all information on the background check.
Records you should have checked:

Mosaic Templars Cultural Center
If you are familiar with Little Rock History, you may remember the fire that destroyed the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center on March 15, 2005.
The Mosaic Templars have a long history dating back to 1883. They were originally founded to provide burial and life insurance for the African-American community.
The new Mosaic Templars Cultural Center has been constructed over the site of the old center at 501 West 9th Street. The grand opening of the new center is on September 19th & 20th.

On Monday's Good Morning Arkansas, Dee Dee Helbig on Ava Bella Day Spa shared some great ways to ease the itching brought on by poison ivy, poison oak or chicken pox after her own recent experience with her son and chicken pox.
Below is a "recipe" for a tobacco based treatment. If that does not work, several other options are listed below.
Tobacco Based Itch Easer
2 cups water
Tobacco from 3 cigarettes
Combine water and tobacco. Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes. Carefully strain all the tobacco from the brew since it may burn sensitive skin. Let the liquid cool. Apply it to inflamed areas with a clean cloth. This ensures immediate relief from the itching and burning discomfort.

Answer: The numbers that are the true measure of HDTV performance such as 720p or 1080i refer to the number of rows of pixels on the screen. Standard definition is 480p, that means it has 480 rows of pixels. High Definition is a television with 720 or 1,080 rows of pixels.
Question: What about the letters like “i” or “p” in 1080i or 1080p?
Answer: These letters refer to how the pixels refresh.
i = interlaced - even and odd rows of pixels refresh alternately
p = progressive - all pixels refresh sequentially
For example: A 1080i image will have more pixels and look sharper than a 720p, but may have a slight flicker effect. 1080p is the best type of screen currently in mass production.
Other Food for Thought:
-To get HD programming you must order it from your cable or satellite provider. You can also use an antenna capable of receiving a digital signal and an HDTV with a digital receiver.
-Use an HDMI connector whenever possible, it will give you the best and most reliable picture and sound.
-The more on the screen, the better. Adjust the “aspect ratio” or “screen” settings on your television until you get the full picture. For example: If you are watching a sports program and the score at the bottom or the top of the screen is partly missing, then the picture is stretched and you are not getting the best possible picture.
-If you are connecting something with a component input instead of HDMI, be sure to get good, quality cables to minimize the risk of interference and to get the best color.
Things to look for when buying a HDTV:
-at least 2 HDMI inputs
-1080p display
-a contrast ratio of at least 5000:1 (preferably 10000:1 or higher)
-a refresh rate of at least 60Hz (preferably 120Hz)
