Many pediatric dentists believe that frequent, prolonged sippy cup use contributes to toddler tooth decay. Sippy cups are an excellent tool to help ease the transition between baby bottles and regular adult drinking glasses. However, sippy cups have become so effective in preventing spills and leaks, that the majority of parents continue to use them - often well into late toddlerhood. As a consequence, pediatric cavities (often called "baby bottle cavities") are becoming increasingly prevalent in children between the ages of two and five.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) advises parents to make a "well-baby" checkup with a pediatric dentist approximately six months after the first tooth has emerged. At this visit, the pediatric dentist is able to educate parents about sippy cup use and general oral care routines – as well as provide strategies for eliminating unwanted oral habits.
When should my child use a sippy cup?
A sippy cup should be introduced when the child is first physically able to grasp it. Its use should be discontinued as soon as the child has enough motor control to use an adult-sized cup – usually around one year of age. Children are at risk for tooth decay as soon as the first teeth emerge from the gums, making it crucial to implement a good oral care routine as early as possible.
During the sippy cup period, pediatric dentists provide the following guidelines for parents:
How do sippy cups cause tooth decay?
Sippy cups alone do not cause tooth decay. Oftentimes, the real problem is that parents tend to fill them with sugary, decay-promoting liquids. Examples of such liquids are: breast milk, baby formula, fruit juice, soda, and sweetened water.
Since sippy cups only emit a tiny amount of fluid at a time, the sugars in the fluids are continuously being swashed in and around the child's teeth. Oral bacteria feed on these sugars and produce harmful oral acids. Acids attack the tooth enamel, weakening it and rendering it susceptible to decay. Sometimes cavities (caries) form between the teeth, which are hard to see. Biannual appointments with the pediatric dentist are the best way to monitor the condition of the teeth, and to ensure that cavities are not developing.
Which sippy cup should I choose for my child?
All sippy cups are not created equal. The American Dental Association (ADA) provides the following guidelines for choosing a good sippy cup:
Avoid "no-spill" valves – In essence, sippy cups with no-spill valves do not advance the child's sipping. They only release a tiny amount of liquid, meaning that sugars are swilling around the mouth more often.
Choose a spout – Cups with a snap-on or screwing lid with a spout are preferable to the alternatives. These cups promote good drinking habits, as opposed to being "glorified baby bottles."
Two handles are better than one – The goal of the transition is to make the child feel comfortable enough to grasp an adult-sized cup. Since larger cups require the use of two hands, it is better for the child to get into this habit early.
If you have questions or concerns about tooth decay or the use of sippy cups, please contact your pediatric dentist.

I had an amazing experience at this office! Staff was friendly and professional. They made me feel very comfortable. They were up front about costs and procedures. I would definitely recommend Dental Associayes of Marlborough.
Daniel C
The entire team is top-notch - professional, talented, and so pleasant. As a long-term patient, I feel like they are extended family and have always been so thoughtful. Fabulous practice, can't imagine ever going anywhere else. I recently had a crown and it was such a joy to get it all done in one visit!
Leslie A
My latest appointment was a check up, my hygienist, Kris, is always awesome and I have to admit that it's definitely because of Dental Associates that I don't need anything extra done at this time. They really help you get your teeth to the best level they can be! I look forward to going to them and I'm so happy to be smiling openly again because of them.

Google Inc launched a special service to allow people in Egypt to send Twitter messages by dialing a phone number and leaving a voice mail, as Internet access remains cut off in the country amid anti-government protests.
"Like many people, we've been glued to the news unfolding in Egypt and thinking of what we could do to help people on the ground," read a post on Google's official corporate blog on Monday.
The service, which Google said was developed with engineers from Twitter, allows people to dial a telephone number and leave a voice mail. The voice mail is automatically translated into an audio file message that is sent to Twitter using the identifying tag #egypt, Google said.
Internet social networking services such as Twitter and Facebook have been important tools of communications for protesters in Egypt. Internet services have been suspended around the country and phone text messaging has been disabled.
A source familiar with the matter said Google, whose corporate motto is "Don't Be Evil," was not taking sides in the crisis in Egypt, but was simply supporting access to information as it has done with other services, such as video Web site YouTube.
YouTube has been streaming live coverage of al-Jazeera's broadcasts of the events in Egypt.
Dozens of the so-called speak-to-tweet messages were featured on Twitter on Monday. The messages ranged from a few seconds to several minutes, and featured people identifying themselves as Egyptians and describing the situations in various parts of the country.
"The government is spreading rumors of fear, and of burglary and of violence," said one of the messages from an English speaker. "The only incidence of theft and burglary are done by the police themselves."
Google's Twitter service became available as the last of Egypt's main Internet service providers, the Noor Group, went dark.
The Noor Group had remained online even after Egypt's four main Internet providers abruptly stopped shuttling Internet traffic into and out of the country on Friday morning.
At about 11pm on Monday, the Noor Group became unreachable, said James Cowie, chief technology officer of Renesys, a security firm based in Manchester, New Hampshire. Renesys monitors massive directories of "routes," or set paths that define how Web traffic flows. The Noor Group's routes have disappeared, he said.

The perfect Paella (well in my opinion anyway) is one thats made with good quality chorizo, has a good kick of authentic Spanish spice and is just a little but saucier than the traditional Paella.
This recipe was especially developed for The Pretty Blog
Photographer: Catherine Mac
Recipe development and styling: Luisa Farelo Hayes
Serves 4-6
2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tbsp (15ml) NoMU Spanish Rub
1 chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
1 cup (250ml) Arborio rice (risotto rice)
¼ cup (60ml) dry white wine
Pinch of saffron
1L (4 cups) good quality chicken stock
8 prawns, de-veined
200g calamari, sliced
300g king-klip, cubed (or any white fish)
12 black mussels, cleaned
½ cup (125ml) peas
100g black olives, pitted
15g parsley, finely chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Heat a heavy based saucepan (paella pan is best) over medium heat with olive oil and gently fry onion, garlic, NoMU Spanish Rub and chorizo for about a minute.
Add rice and sauté for a further minute until rice becomes translucent.
Add wine and stir until absorbed.
Add saffron to stock and bring to a simmer.
Slowly add hot stock and cook gently over medium heat until rice is just underdone.
Place prawns, calamari, king-klip, mussels (having discarded any that are opened already) and peas over rice and cover with lid.
Allow to cook for about 8 – 10 minutes or until fish is just cooked and the mussels have steamed open.
Scatter with olives and chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

A NIGHT stage in the bush and three new opening-day speed tests that organisers rate the best yet form part of a new look Coates Hire Rally Australia route.
The new stages of Utungun, Bakers Creek and Northbank, south of the event's Coffs Harbour base, open the action at the 10th round of the FIA World Rally Championship on Friday morning and will be repeated in the afternoon.
"They are fast, technical, set in magnificent countryside and truly some of the best roads in the rally world," said Clerk of Course Adrian Stafford.
The stages are split between the Coffs Coast State forests and open farmland, with many of the country shire roads lined by trees that leave no margin for error.
After Thursday evening's Coffs Harbour ceremonial start, two passes through the mostly familiar Newry Long test add to the new roads to complete Friday's 125.12km of competition.
Saturday features two passes through the marathon 50.80km Nambucca, one of the longest and most difficult stages of the season.
The 7.94km Valla is also driven twice, the second occasion in darkness, to complete the longest day of the event. The first pass will be screened live on global TV.
Five more tests north of Coffs Harbour on Sunday complete the itinerary, including two more live TV stages in Wedding Bells. The second pass forms the Power Stage with bonus points for the fastest three drivers.
The 17 stages cover 311.36km in a route of 1023.70km.

The WoWP fandom ~lost it~ seeing Alex and Justin Russo back together again, talking about what the characters would be up to today and even hinting at a revival!
And clearly he's still got a Wizards reboot on his mind. David just shared an ~adorable~ throwback with Sel and basically broke Instagram.
"Throwing it way back this #TBT to a still from the first episode I wrote of Wizards!" he wrote on Insta. "This was a special episode for me as I got to fulfill a dream of mine :) Who remembers this one!? @selenagomez if u still have that shirt I want it."
Nawww! In case you forgot, the episode David wrote was called 'Alex's Logo' and it was all about Alex designing her own t-shirts and selling them at school. She ends up winning an award and, of course, gets caught up in a bit of trouble.
Now all we need is Selena to reply with a pic of her wearing the shirt and life will be complete.

When folks cook, they typically prefer to use chocolate bars in their desserts instead of constructing it from scratch or using a cocoa powder mixture. I created 4 layers with 9 inch circle pans (lower every cake into 2 horizontally). I normally bake further cupcakes or tiny desserts if I have extra batter and then freeze them. Hello,I have been in search of a great moist chocolate cake recipe for a wedding cake my good friend has asked me to make and this sounds beautiful.
It undoubtedly helps to make use of cake flour good cocoa powder. Also, my cream cheese frosting had a curdled and crumbly texture after addition of milk. You should have used the common cake pans. Unfold a little bit chocolate icing over the top of one of many chocolate desserts, then rigorously prime with the other cake.
I used the leftover batter after 2 days to make cupcakes and, though the change in chemistry (cold batter plus the resting time) made the cupcakes lopsided, the feel turned out to be much nicer! Add the mayonnaise and beat till the combination is clean and creamy. While I've tried so many chocolate truffles over time, and failed following so many various recipes, it was time to take matters into my very own arms and come up with the perfect chocolate cake we've ever had.
Two 9-inch cake pans by spraying with baking spray or buttering and frivolously flouring. The following time I make I plan on topping the buttercream icing off with some dark chocolate chips. I am not going to kid you, this makes a very rich, moist, and completely luxurious chocolate cake recipe.
Pour batter evenly into every pan. It ruined the cake combine however I needed to keep it up with it. After cooking the cake, it has plenty of darkish chocolate specs in, where the paste was imposssible to combine in, even with an electrical whisk. Whereas your muffins are cooling, prepare the buttercream.

Never Team Up with the Idea Guy
How do you choose the right people for your next projects? In real life situations, you don't get a talent pool that's ready to serve you in your next world-conquering project. Your money is limited, and your time is even more so. Let's talk about who are the most likely candidates of your next startup project:
Friends. Friends are good. You hang out with them, you had fun with them. Friends also come in many different flavors and skills, and some of whom are not particularly useful for your project. There will be a certain percentage of them who might be useful. You are in the tech industry, and maybe a handful of your friends are also in the tech industry. Naturally, your conversations with them clicks more than with the chick you tried to pick up at a bar last weekend. Does that mean that you and your friends can immediately start something big? Unless all of you operate in the same wavelength for at least 6 months, it's difficult to encourage your friends to start a project. Your friends have different ideas. Your friends have different opinions. They would have different priorities.
Coworkers. You are working with great people with talented skills. It's naturally easy for you to stir something up at the workplace during those lunch and coffee breaks. You talked about how to improve the company's existing broken procedures. The conversations would later evolve into "wouldn't it be great if.." topics. However, the same situations with friends apply here with coworkers. Your coworkers must also have the same vision as you. Though it's a bit easier to team up with coworkers, sometimes the stress and the amount of work at work can kill your side projects fast.
Family. Family members tend to work on the same fields, and your visions tend to be similar because your neurons are wired pretty much the same layout. They also tend to have the most arguments among each other. Family-owned businesses can be successful, but they can also plunge into the tar pit far faster than any other teams, thanks to the argument last night about who gets to keep Fluffy the dog.
Strangers. Don't even try unless you are ready to pay them money.
This does not mean that it's impossible to form a good team from the groups above. It's still possible if you find the right people.
Let's just say that you have found some team members. You talked about some ideas with them. Your ideas converge like a salad bowl. It has a great momentum, but not for long. You notice that one guy in your team is "The Idea Guy". He talked about his great ideas, and how it's going to make your project great. He spent 70% of the time explaining his ideas, and the other 30% merging other team members' ideas to his own, which means that he spent 0% on the actual project itself.
The Idea Guy tend to be skill-less. That's why he's The Idea Guy. Remember the 1% inspiration 99% perspiration quote by Edison? It applies here like a cookie cutter. Creating new products requires 99% perspiration, and if one of your team member cannot contribute even 10% of that perspiration, don't count him/her in.

FC: The Ambitious Guest: A Short Story by Nathaniel Hawthorne Paraphrased and adapted for children by Sylvia Marohn
1: Dedicated to Erika Marohn, love of my life
2: One fine September night, a family gathered around their fire
3: parents, children, and grandmother, laughing, happy, and warm in their windy New England home.
5: A steep mountain towered above them, and would often throw stones down its side and startle them at midnight: and sometimes travelers passed through for a short stop at the cottage. They would usually pause a moment for company.
6: It was not unusual then, on this chilly September night, to hear the footsteps of a stranger approach the door.
7: The stranger wore a sad expression when he was invited in, but quickly brightened up with the smiles of the family to greet him.
8: The family liked the stranger who had traveled far and alone, and he felt at home with them.
9: While they were talking, a stone tumbled down the mountainside and the family held their breath while the stone rumbled by... | Although it scared them, everything was fine (for now.)
11: Then the stranger told the family that he wanted to be famous: a celebrated hero who would be recognized as a shining star even years after his death.
12: The oldest daughter in the family disagreed with the stranger: "It is better to sit here by this fire," answered the girl, blushing, "and be comfortable and contented, though nobody thinks about us." The whole family agreed.
15: In the next room the smaller children had been put to bed | but the grownups listened as they talked.
16: They were playing and whisper-ing when one little boy's voice was heard above the others.
17: "I want all of us to go take a drink out of the Flume!" (The Flume was a river deep in the woods by the house where they lived.)
18: The grown-ups in the next room laughed.
20: Just then, some travelers passed by outside, calling the father by name. The father, though, happy and warm, didn't leave the comfort of his house.
21: The boy who wished and longed for the Flume realized that the travelers might have given the family a ride, but the opportunity was missed!
22: As the night wore on, the eldest daughter and the stranger started to fall in love
23: The grandmother told secrets, and the family talked with the stranger deep into the night.
25: All of a sudden, the group heard a ROAR of ROCK as boulders tumbled down the side of the mountain! "THE SLIDE! THE SLIDE!" they all screamed as young and old alike ran from the warmth and comfort of their house.
26: Little did they know that their small house was the only safe place in the valley. All of the family, including the stranger ran right into the path of destruction.
27: The only thing that remained was the cottage, exactly as the family had left it, smoke still rising through the chimney from the fireplace, chairs in a circle around it cozy and warm.
29: No one could remeber the name or face of the stranger that wanted to become a hero, but the names and faces of the family that lived in the cottage were forever a legend in those parts: their story and fate caused the folks around to shed a tear or two.
30: The End.

Awesome Dresser Organization8:28 PM
Hi, guys! I'm here to day to show you how I have organized my dresser drawers and to share some tips on how to get more out of the space you have. I've managed to store 100 clothing items in just 2 drawers! Below are images showing before and after I organized my shirt/shorts drawer and a few "how-to's" on how I fold my clothing to get them to fit nice and neat.

Ha! I do the same thing. We have limited space at my house and I've found it to be very helpful for my kids, esp. Stopping in from SITS. Happy SITS Day to you!ReplyDelete
Love it! Very tidy and space-efficient!ReplyDelete
Hi, visiting you via the SITS girls. That's really neat! I love it, because instead of having to go crazy looking for something to put on, it is all there, tidy and organized!ReplyDelete
What a great way to organize! Happy SITS Day :)ReplyDelete

In my last post I uploaded a picture of my sketch which evoke a nostalgia in me. I choked with emotion as I typed the description.
In this entry I cannot help but to continue talking about my childhood days living in an era of backwardness.
People say don't dwell in the past. But I like to tell things which people nowadays don't really know - those who were born so much later when time is easy and all things aplenty.
At the time no matter how bad the living condition it was considered a norm and people just accepted. No taking to the road to protest or anything like that. I think it was because we were not exposed to anything better so we never could have compared.
We were living under a coconut shell so to say.
Now some people who have attained the finer things of life are ashamed of their humble past. Why. . . ? Most of us come from the poor and destitute a fact that cannot be denied.
Poverty does not equal to sadness. There were happy times and funny moments. Some got stuck to my mind and never can forget.
Ok some flashback . . .
Those days we helped parents in their work. Whatever work which was not too heavy to carry out.
No child labor.
I liked it very much if my mother offered me to follow her to the padi field during the menanam (replanting) season. At this time the ground would be well submerged in water. Cool and nice to play and if it rained so much the better.
Usually the replanting was done by women. They were expert at using the kuku kambing a special tool used to poke the soil taking together the root into the soft ground. There was some sort of a system which everybody understood.The young plants were planted in rows and the women did it simultaneously stepping backwards in straight line as they went about doing it. They did it so accurately and timely. A rhythmic movement at an easy tempo.
|Pictures that stick to my mind
What I overheard was the women all suffered back ache after the season.
After replanting there was nothing much to do but at intervals mother would go and do the weeding. Occasionally I would follow. But I didn't quite like it because I couldn't play in the water anymore. Not allowed lest I might damage the plants
.My work was to pick water convolvulus which grew in abundance along the batas (raised path between the plots). Instructed to pick only the top shoot which we boiled to be eaten with rice. The poor man's veggie.
There were leaches measuring the ground and ready to pick on you. It will stick stubbornly to your skin and difficult to pull it away. It won't bother your jumping and screaming. It will suck your blood out until its body bloated then only it will fall off.
Sometimes naughty people would scare the children bluffing them that the leech will not let go of the victim until the thunder boomed ha ha.
|Leeches like to clime higher higher
I would always be alert of leeches.
The harvesting time was of little fun. We children were seldom allowed to follow. The time was hot and dry but windy. Nature's way of allowing the grain to ripe properly.
But there was still fun watching the men bailed out water from the well using buckets. There was not much water anyway leaving inside sludge and mud . . .and fish!
It was more fun if you were permitted to join in catching the fish in the mud.
Male and female force were required to do the work of harvesting . Those time everything was done manually. It was hard work plus the heat and the padi leaves were sharp and cutting.
So miang and itchy.
The women's face, the fair ones became tanned and those dark like mine turned charcoal dark. The sun really burnt. The terendak was not enough protection.
No moisturizing lotion.
No SPF cream.
Now I wonder why they did not wear the ninja style hood or the purdah style face cover.
Poor but carefree people.
After the padi was separated from the stalk the grain had to be dried before being sold or stored.
Drying was done by spreading the grain on a mat in the hot sun. I was usually assigned to make sure that animals did not come to trample over it. The most boring job ever. Just sit there under the shade and shooed away the cocks and the hens and the cats which purposely will walk over it.
Sometimes we could fall asleep and not aware the chicken were having a feast.
The exposed padi became a real attraction for these ground birds. . .
If the caretaker was sleeping on the job . . .
Better to stop here I don't want my dear readers to yawn.n .n . . .
Till another entry. . .
Bye. . .

Creative Programming for Wearables
Creative programming is not only the name of a course in the ID major. It is also the field from which new data visualization, new generative design will arise. Algorithms, mathematics, art, interaction design and generative design come together in this field. The examples shown here are out of series of cooperative projects with Marina Toeters. The mathematics is non-trivial and contributes to the aesthetics. In other projects we work with embedded sensors or embedded actuators. The actuators are not add-on Fremdkörper, but better integrated in the garment and matching fashion production methods.
We also explore new ways of representing bio-feedback data. We explore the interplay between hard and soft materials. Some of the examples:
- "Drapely-o-lightment" with by-wire.net (hard and soft materials, algorithmic pattern)
- "flPDP", fractal line pied-de-poule with by-wire.net (fractal algorithmic pattern)
- "Pied-de-pulse" with by-wire.net (soft actuators and algorithmic pattern)
- "Bio-elektrische" with sensoree design lab (soft actuators)
- "A new understanding of complexity" with by-wire.net (cellular-automaton based weaving)
- "Solemaker" with Troy Nachtigall (Voronoi diagram-based shoe-sole compiler)
- "Heart Bloom" with Bin Yu and studio Rogier Arents (biofeedback data plotted)
- "Victory Boogie Woogie generator" (algorithmic art)
- "Oogway" (turtle graphics library for Processing)
Most of the works are shown in many international design exhibitions. For example Drapely-o-lightment was shown at Place-IT Berlijn, Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, Pretty Smart Textiles in Ronse Belgium, Night-of-the nerds in NEMO, HKU popup Fashion Show in Amsterdam, Bridges Mathematical Art Galleries in Enschede, TEDx Eindhoven, De Gezonde Mens in the Designhuis Eindhoven, Edinburgh art&design festival UK, Kantfabriek Horst, Kyoto Cultural Computing exhibtion, and was on tour for one year with the MOSAIC exhibition: Berkeley CA, Columbia, Illinois, Portland, Raleigh and Colorado. A Publication in Leonardo, MIT press appeared in 2015.

So we went from this…
…to these.
Hard to see much of a theme, a consistent mood or really anything that would make all these seem like they are for the same movie.
Then again maybe the theme is Tyler Perry. As KamikazeKamel has pointed out before it's sort of a tradition of Tyler Perry movies to have really interesting teaser posters and then very broad main posters with Madea's face splashed all over them.

In the second week of November, 1803, a play called "A Bold Stroke for a Wife" was running at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Miss Mellor was playing Anne; Bannister, Highwell; Atkin was Simon Pure; and Grimaldi, Aminadab. One night the prompter, otherwise the assistant stage manager, had put his head in at the green-room door and had summoned Mr. Grimaldi, and as the actor was going on the stage a messenger told him that two gentlemen were waiting to see him at the stage door. The stage must never wait, so Grimaldi sent a message to the gentlemen, to the effect that he would come down to them as soon as the business of the scene was over. Accordingly, he went to the stage door and found there two gentlemanly young men.
"Here's Mr. Grimaldi — who wants him?" said the actor, and one of the young men turned swiftly about and accosted Grimaldi in a very cordial manner. Grimaldi looked at him. He was about, his own age and had the appearance of a man who had lived in some tropical climate. He wore the fashionable evening dress of 1803: a blue coat with gilt buttons, white waistcoat, and tight pantaloons, and a gold-headed dress cane was in his hand.
"Joe, my lad!" exclaimed this person, holding out his hand, with something of emotion in his manner, "how goes it with you now, old fellow?"
Grimaldi was confused. To the best of his belief he had never seen the young man before and, hesitating, he replied that he really had not the pleasure of his acquaintance. "Not the pleasure of my acquaintance!" repeated the stranger, with a loud laugh. "Well, Joe, that seems funny, anyhow!" He appealed to his companion, who agreed, and they both laughed heartily. Grimaldi grew perturbed and uneasy; he suspected that the two men were rather laughing at him than with him, and he was turning away offended, when the first young man said, in a tremulous voice:
"Joe, don't you know me now?"
Grimaldi looked at him again. The man had opened his shirt, and was pointing to a scar upon his breast. By this scar Grimaldi recognised the young man as his only brother, John, who had gone to sea, had not been heard of for many years, and was supposed to be dead. Grimaldi was very much moved. The two embraced again and again, and gave vent to their feelings in tears. Men embraced each other in Dickens' earlier books. It is odd; but in the days of the Napoleonic War, when John Bull is supposed to have been most John Bullish, he had ways which we should call "Continental."
"Come upstairs," said Grimaldi. "Mr. Wroughton is there — Mr. Wroughton, who was the means of your going to sea — he'll be delighted to see you." The two were hurrying off, when the other young man, who had been quite forgotten, said:
"Well, John, then I'll wish you good-night."
"Good-night, good-night," said John Grimaldi, shaking his friend's hand. "I shall see you in the morning."
"Yes," replied the other, "at ten, mind!"
"At ten precisely; I shall not forget," answered John.
So the friend went away, unintroduced and unknown, so far as the actor was concerned. The brothers went first on the stage and then to the green-room; and the tale was told of this wonderful return, and the sailor was introduced to the actors. Still, the business of the stage continued, and the actor-brother had to leave the sailor-brother, gathering bits of his story between exits and entrances. The sailor said he had made a very successful trip.
"At this moment," he boasted, slapping his pocket, "I have six hundred pounds here."
"Why, John," said his brother, "it's very dangerous to carry so much money about with you."
"Dangerous!" replied John, "we sailors know nothing about danger. But, my lad, even if all this were gone, I should not be penniless."
Grimaldi was convinced by this and the knowing glance that the sailor gave him that he was, in fact, a wealthy man. But before he could get more exact information the prompter's voice was heard again, and the actor had to hurry away. In the meantime Mr. Wroughton talked to John, making kind enquiries as to his doings and his success. John replied as he had replied to his brother, and brought out a coarse canvas bag, stuffed full of coins. The comedy was over at last, and Grimaldi asked his brother how long he had been in town. He replied only two or three hours; that he had had his dinner and come on at once to the theatre. What did he intend to do? He had not considered the matter; his only object had been to see his brother and mother once more. The two had a long talk. Joe told his brother that he, his wife, and his mother all lived together. But there was plenty of room in the house; why should not the sailor come and live with them, and so they would all be happy together. John was delighted with the notion. But he said that he knew he would not be able to sleep unless he saw his mother that very night; what was her address? The address was given, but the actor suggested that they had better walk home together. He had finished for the night, and would be ready as soon as he had changed his dress. The sailor assented, and Joe went off to his dressing-room.
And then the strangeness of it all came with a sudden onset on Grimaldi. "The agitation of his feelings, the suddenness of his brother's return, the good fortune which had attended him in his absence, the gentility of his appearance, and his possession of so much money; all together confused him so that he could scarcely use his hands." He seems to have fallen into the state which the Scots call a "dwam," a manner of waking vision, in which actualities are taken for dreams and the man wonders when he will awake and recognise that he has been amongst the shadows of the night. "He stood still every now and then, quite lost in wonder, and then suddenly recollecting that his brother was waiting, looked over the room again and again for articles of dress that were lying before him." In consequence, he took much more time than usual in getting off his make-up and changing his dress; but at last he was ready and ran down to the stage. On his way he met Powell, one of the Company. Powell congratulated him on his brother's return, and Grimaldi "asked him more from nervousness than for information if he had seen him lately."
I think the phrase is curious. It must be remembered that Grimaldi wrote his own Memoirs — they were severely sub-edited, it is true — and, likely enough, the phrase in question is the old actor's own. Taking into account the odd things that came upon him in the dressing-room, I am inclined to think that he had begun to suspect that his brother had never returned, had never been introduced to the actors, had never spoken of his wealth; that the whole thing was an illusion, a phantasm of his mind. That, I believe, was what he meant by "nervousness"; he wished to be reassured by Powell, to be told that there was an actual brother waiting for him below, and that he would see him in a moment. But the events that were to come give this part of the story a very strange interest.
But Powell was reassuring enough.
"I saw him," he replied, "but a moment ago; he is waiting for you on the stage. I won't detain you, for he complains that you have been longer away now than you said you would be."
Grimaldi hurried down to the spot where he had left his brother — it must have been the green-room, surely, not the stage, since there was an after-piece to follow "A Bold Stroke for a Wife"— but he was not there.
"Who are you looking for, Joe?" inquired Bannister, as he saw him looking eagerly about.
"For my brother," he answered. "I left him here a little while back."
"Well, and I saw and spoke to him not a minute ago," said Bannister. "When he left me, he went in that direction (pointing towards the passage that led towards the stage-door). I should think he had left the theatre."
Grimaldi rushed to the stage-door, and asked the door-keeper whether his brother had gone out. The man said he had gone out not a minute before, he had not had time to get out of the street. Grimaldi ran out, and ran up and down the street; not a sign of his brother. He wondered what had happened. Then it struck him that John might have gone to look up some old friend or neighbour — the Grimaldis had been brought up close to the Lane. There was Mr. Bowley; he and John had been bosom friends when they were boys together. Forthwith Joe knocked at Mr. Bowley's door.
Mr. Bowley himself opened the door, and was evidently greatly surprised.
"I have, indeed, seen your brother," said he. "Good God! I was never so amazed in all my life."
"Is he here now?" was the anxious inquiry.
"No; but he has not been gone a minute; he cannot have gone many yards."
"Which way?"
"That way — towards Duke Street."
Grimaldi thought on this that his brother must have gone to call on Mr. Bailey, the Grimaldis' landlord, when they lived in Great Wild Street. Away to Mr. Bailey's house in that street; again he knocked at the door. No-one answered; he knocked and rang again With increased fury, and at length a girl put her head out of an upper window, and said in a voice both sulky and sleepy:
"I tell you again, he is not at home."
"What are you talking about? Who is not at home?"
"Why, Mr. Bailey. I told you so before. What do you keep on knocking for at this time of night?"
In great bewilderment, Grimaldi begged the girl to come downstairs, as he wanted to speak to her, telling her his name. She came down after a short interval.
"I'm sure I beg your pardon, sir," said the maid. "But there was a gentleman here knocking and ringing very violently not a minute before you came. I told him Mr. Bailey was not at home; and when I heard you at the door I thought It was him, and that he would not go away."
Then Grimaldi asked the girl if she had seen the gentleman's face. She had not; she had looked out of the upper-window, and all that she noticed was that the gentleman had a white waistcoat, whence she inferred that he might have come to take her master out to a party.
Back went the amazed and frightened actor to the theatre. There nothing had been seen of the lost brother; and then Grimaldi began a sort of mad midnight tour of the houses of old friends round the Lane, knocking and ringing people out of their beds and enquiring after his brother. Some of the people thought Grimaldi was mad; and said so. His manner was wild, and nobody had heard of John Grimaldi for fourteen years. They had long given him up as dead.
One more call at the theatre; nothing had been seen of the missing man. Perhaps, Grimaldi thought, his brother had gone to the house in Pentonville. He had seemed so anxious to see his mother that very night; and between the calls of the prompter the two had been making plans of happiness of a family reunited after the passing of many years. But there was no brother at the house; but his mother sat in the supper-room, looking much paler than usual, so that Grimaldi thought she must have seen him.
"Well, mother," he said, "has anything strange occurred here tonight?"
"No; nothing that I have heard of."
"What! no stranger arrived! no long-lost relative recovered!" exclaimed Grimaldi.
"What do you mean?"
"Mean! Why, that John is come home safe and well, and with money enough to make all our fortunes."
The mother screamed and fainted. John Grimaldi was never seen again, never heard of. A great noble, a frequenter of Drury Lane, used his influence at the Admiralty; some people thought that John had been pressed for the Navy. He was known to have gone under another name, and when no news came, it was suggested that he might well have fallen in one of the great sea fights of those great wars; it was two years before Trafalgar. Then a police officer, who had made enquiries in the neighbourhood of the Lane, had his theory of the boastful sailor with his bag of gold being decoyed into some black den, there to be robbed and murdered. And Grimaldi himself was inclined to suspect his brother's companion, the smart young man in the white waistcoat, who made the appointment with his brother for ten o'clock the next morning. Why had this man not come round to the theatre, to make enquiries after his vanished friend? But John Grimaldi was seen no more.
It is an extraordinary tale. It may be true in every particular. But there are strange circumstances in the history. For example: why should John knock up his old friend, Mr. Bowley, only to dart away from his door in a minute's time? Note that minute in advance all through the chase. It persisted up to Mr. Bailey's house. The servant-girl there said, "there was a gentleman here knocking and ringing very violently not a minute before you came." I do not quite know why; but this fixed period of a minute inspires me with distrust.
But if the story be an invention, I am sure it was not Joe Grimaldi's. The famous clown was a worthy, stolid, solid man outside of his clowning. The lie, if it be a lie, must be the work of Mr. Thomas Egerton Wilks, Grimaldi's friend during his life, editor of his Memoirs after the great clown's death.
But many of the actors at the theatre had seen John Grimaldi and talked to him on the night of his return? Possibly; but that was in 1808. Bannister died, I think, in the 'twenties; was anyone of the company alive when the Memoirs were published in 1838?
And yet, in spite of all, I incline to believe in the truth of the tale.

I loved receiving this testimonial from a friend whose baby had some trouble sleeping, but once she tried the Ergobaby Swaddler after seeing my blog post and watching the video, those sleep issues were gone!
"I've been meaning to tell you I bought an Ergobaby Swaddler a month or two ago because Lauren would not sleep for long periods of time unless held or sleeping by me and since using that she has been sleeping longer stretches (almost through the night) by herself! She loves wearing it. Thanks for recommendation on Facebook!" -- Kaci C, Illinois

Its been 10 days in Baguio - and one of the things I miss is my mother's herb garden in our old country home, same city, but has the best view of the old pine trees reminiscent of Twilight's movie set in the woods, except for the frog statue which mom installed in that garden - which she installed for good luck. I miss the Baguio I knew ten years ago.

|"Safeguard the Household" - A Study of HIV Antiretroviral Therapy Treatment Strategies Appropriate for a Resource Poor Country
|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of several anti-HIV treatment strategies in resource-poor South African communities. The strategies being studied are using specially trained doctors or nurses to administer HIV care.
|Detailed Description
The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for the treatment of HIV has dramatically improved morbidity and mortality for HIV infected people in the developed world. However, research data on the efficacy of ART regimens in developing countries, such as South Africa, are limited. There are an estimated 4.7 million HIV infected individuals in the South African population of about 40 million inhabitants. The greatest social impact may be achieved by treating an entire household affected by HIV to ensure maximum adherence to prescribed ART regimens and to minimize the sharing of antiretroviral drugs. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of ART given by an HIV-trained doctor compared to ART given by an HIV-trained primary health care nurse. Participants failing first-line therapy will receive a second-line regimen based on what medications are available at the clinic, with approval by the clinical safety team. Participants in this study will be recruited from resource-poor communities outside Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa.
This study will last 5 years. HIV infected people and other HIV infected members of their household 16 years of age and older will be enrolled. Study participants will receive first-line ART consisting of efavirenz (EFV) once daily, lamivudine (3TC) twice daily, and stavudine (d4T) twice daily. Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to use acceptable forms of contraception and who have CD4 counts less than 250 cells/mm3 will receive 3TC twice daily; nevirapine (NVP) daily for 2 weeks, then twice daily; and d4T twice daily. Women who are pregnant at baseline, who become pregnant on study treatment, or who are unwilling to use acceptable methods of contraception and have CD4 counts of 250 cells/mm3 or more, or children who were previously exposed to NVP will receive 3TC twice daily, lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) twice daily, and d4T twice daily. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two arms. Arm 1 will receive ART under the monitoring care of an HIV-trained medical doctor, while Arm 2 will receive ART under the monitoring care of an HIV-trained primary health care nurse with training in HIV diagnosis and treatment. Participants who fail their first-line regimen will receive a second-line regimen but will remain in their treatment arms.
Study visits will occur at study entry; Weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12; and every 12 weeks thereafter. A physical exam, measurement of height and weight, tuberculosis (TB) and hepatitis B infection screening, blood collection, pill counts, and compliance/adherence and resource utilization counseling will occur at most visits. Participants will also be asked to complete quality of life and household cost questionnaires at selected visits. Study visits for participants who fail first-line treatment will occur at treatment failure, between Days 15 and 30, Week 4 post-treatment failure, every 4 weeks until Week 48 post-treatment failure, and every 12 weeks thereafter. A targeted physical exam, measurement of height and weight, TB infection screening, blood collection, pill counts, and compliance/adherence and resource utilization counseling will occur at most visits. Participants will also be asked to complete quality of life and household cost questionnaires at selected visits.

Off the Chain Part 2
Today let's begin with three short stories from The Bible to illustrate how to live a life "Unchained" or without restraint. These stories are found in Matthew 26:7 (The Alabaster Box), Luke 5:4 (Launch Out) and I Kings 17:10 (Widow and Elijah). There were many widows in the land but Elijah was sent only to this one. I had to ask myself the question "Why?" And the best answer I could come up with was – maybe she was the only one who was radical enough that God could bless her. OR – Maybe she was willing enough to risk everything in order to see a miracle. Do you know that sometimes you have to let go of what's NOT working so you can embrace God's plan that WILL WORK? We are often times slow to let go of what's not working. Maybe because of fear, or we just feel we don't have any options. Why keep living life at a level that you are not happy with, or that's not working? That's what we call INSANITY – doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. The widows plan was to gather sticks and die, but God's plan […]Read More »

An important part of running a business effectively lies in your ability to manage any unplanned setbacks. Business insurance is a powerful tool for financially protecting the many things that are at stake if you experience serious issues that prevent 'business as usual'.
Business insurance makes good financial sense. If you're a business owner and your business income depends on you being able to work, your business could suffer significantly if you were to become totally disabled by illness or injury and are unable to work.
Business Insurance offers many features including:
- If you can't work in your business because you are totally disabled, the insurer will provide an amount to reimburse eligible business overheads.
- An insurer will reimburse the extra costs of employing a replacement person while you are unable to work (over and above the income they generate) to keep your business going.
- An insurer will start to reimburse your expenses after the waiting period you choose (often between 2 and 13 weeks).
- To help you make a full recovery, an Insurer can pay a lump sum (up to 12 times the monthly benefit payable if you were totally disabled) to go towards rehabilitation costs. These include alterations to your home to help you recover, or a rehabilitation program (including training).
Other features often included are:
- Cover for complications arising from pregnancy
- World-wide cover
- Benefits paid while overseas
- Airfare assistance
- No waiting period if you suffer a relapse within a year of receiving your benefit
Business Survival Cover
Business Survival Cover provides your business with a monthly benefit if you or a key person in your business is unable to work for more than 10 hours a week because of illness or injury.
You choose how to best spend this money to keep your business running smoothly. This may include:
- Replacing lost revenue;
- Paying your salary;
- Meeting ongoing financial obligations; and
- Covering the cost of finding replacement staff.
As the amount of your monthly payment is agreed at the time you take out Business Survival Cover, you're given the certainty of knowing exactly how much you would receive come claim time.
Other features include:
- Worldwide cover
- No waiting period if you suffer a relapse within a year of your benefit ceasing.

IOSCO calls for industry views on ETF regulation
The technical committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), the international policy forum for securities regulators, has published a consultation report, Principles for the Regulation of Exchange Traded Funds.
The technical committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), the international policy forum for securities regulators, has published a consultation report, Principles for the Regulation of Exchange Traded Funds.
The report examines key regulatory issues regarding ETFs. It also proposes 15 principles against which both the industry and regulators can assess the quality of regulation and industry practices relating to ETFs regarding investor protection, sound functioning of markets and financial stability.
The Consultation Report aims to address the concerns arising from the surge of interest in the sector and the potential impact of ETFs on investors and the marketplace.
The report proposes 15 principles that reflect a level of common approach and are a practical guide for regulators and industry practitioners. The proposed principles address ETFs that are organised as Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) and are not meant to encompass other Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) that are not organised as CISs.
Fourteen of the proposed principles are categorized under the following three headings:
– ETF classification and disclosure;
– Marketing and sale of ETF shares; and
– The structuring of ETFs.
The report also considers the potential broader risks to financial stability arising from ETFs and other ETPs. It suggests that regulators should bear in mind that recommendations made for the ETF industry may be applied elsewhere to other areas of financial services.
These potential broader risks include the following:
– Risks arising on secondary markets (the risk of shock transmission)
– ETFs and market integrity (risk of misconduct)
– Risks to financial stability
The 15th principle for the regulation of ETFs relates to the broader risk of liquidity shocks and transmission across correlated markets.
IOSCO's Standing Committee on Investment Management is seeking comments on the proposed principles, as well as on the other specific concerns, such as the following:
– Do the principles adequately address the regulatory issues raised by ETFs?
– Are the potential financial stability issues raised by ETFs appropriately addressed?
– Is there a need for further analysis of issues not exclusive to ETFs, for instance, by the Financial Stability Board.

Mage: The Ascension-related article is a stub. You can help WWWiki by fixing it.
August Edit
- August 12: Dominic LeTarry relates a confusing experience at his kung fu class, where he sparred with his sifu, and somehow managed to block sifu's punch without using his arms. Sifu invites him to a special class.
- August 13: Dominic LeTarry talks about sifu's "special class." He was the only one there, and all sifu wanted to do was talk. He asked about imaginary friends and any troubles LeTarry might have had at school, then proceeds to talk about a reality where martial artists can fly through the air without wires. LeTarry thinks sifu's a bit odd, and decides to stay away from class for a while to focus on his real life.
- August 16: Dominic LeTarry notices strange things happening. His work keeps forgetting to schedule him in, his friends don't call anymore, and he and his girlfriend Janet fight all the time about nothing.
- August 20: Dominic LeTarry thinks sifu might be right, and he might have to go back and talk to him. After being jumped by four muggers, LeTarry somehow just knew exactly who was going to move and in what order, so instinct took over. He took out three in as many seconds, and then punched the last guy a distance of 20 feet. It was only afterwards he realized he had literally dodged a bullet.
- August 22: Dominic LeTarry feels like his life is unravelling. His girlfriend Janet left, telling him she doesn't know him anymore. The video store lost his paperwork, corporate says he never worked there, and accounting never cut him a check. It took all day to clear that up.
September Edit
- September 6: Dominic LeTarry thinks his sifu might be right. LeTarry's quit his job, since he had to fight to get his paycheck every week. He realizes now he's been sleeping and is just starting to Awaken. He's been teaching at the studio with sifu. He doesn't know for how long, but knows he's got a lot more to learn.
- September 9: Dominic LeTarry had a horrible dream about flame and fire, and the screams of people dying. He can't remember anything clearly, but he knows something was just lost. Something very important.
- September 10: Dominic LeTarry writes about something strange... he tried taking the bus, but as he was looking for change, he felt like something hit him in the gut, so he hurled all over the front of the bus. The driver yelled at him to get off, and for the rest of the day everyone stared at him as though he were a street person or a criminal.
- September 12: Dominic LeTarry realizes that something is very wrong. No one has seen sifu since the night LeTarry had that nightmare. He has disappeared, and oddly, none of the other students seem to be able to recall what he looks like.
- September 20: Dominic LeTarry realizes that sifu probably isn't coming back. He can feel and almost control his power now, but still feels he has a lot to learn. His fellow tenants no longer acknowledge him, his landlord has stopped asking for rent, and he spent ages trying to close down his bank account. Apparently the IRS was looking into it. Someone left a note in his gym bag after class one day, and he followed the instructions to meet several others like him. Something has happened, the rules have changed, and no one bothered to tell the players. They're all alone.
October Edit
- October 10: In his final entry in his normal diary, Dominic LeTarry and his new friends realize they're on their own: all their Masters are missing, and the half-trained are all that's left. All they know is that they can do things others can't, and the rules everyone takes for granted can be bent or broken. There seems to be some sort of conspiracy trying to prevent that. "I'm going to try to find out what's going on. Wish me — and us — luck.
