From Syracuse, New York, USA:
My six year old has had type 1 diabetes since 15 months of age (and also celiac disease since age four), my three year old does not have diabetes, there is no other family history of type 1 diabetes. I am due with my third child in a few weeks, and I plan to nurse the baby exclusively for the first month, then to supplement nursing with formula the second month, and then to discontinue nursing the third month when I return to work. Do you believe it is worthwhile to use a formula that does not contain not cow's milk? I see there is a formula designed for infants with allergies that is not milk based.
I know you've been asked this question before, but I wonder if your opinion on the matter has changed based on more recent articles and studies that have been published. Specifically, I just read about an experimental study where newborns will be separated into two groups -- milk based formula and non-milk formula, to determine if there really is a correlation with cow's milk and type 1 diabetes. Other than the added cost of the special formula, I don't expect it could hurt to have the baby on special formula.
This is a difficult question to answer with any assurance because the evidence is conflicting. The early studies, which were carefully done came from Finland where the incidence of type 1A (autoimmune) diabetes is more than double what it is in this country. However, other studies in Europe and North America really didn't confirm this, the latest explanation being that it was only milk from particular herds that genetically produced an alpha1 beta casein in their milk that provided the environmental trigger in genetically susceptible infants.
Even though the chance of the next baby developing diabetes is less than 1:20, the cow's milk story is still of concern to parents, and recently there have been a few studies that have been promoting soy formula with a gluten free diet later. Our own experience in this clinic is that neither course is justified at present.

Drying wet clothes can be a challenge if you aren't prepared with the right equipment, such as a travel clothesline and a few tips.
There's nothing worse than waking up to a bunch of wet clothes slung over the back of chairs, hanging on door handles, shower heads or laid out on the bathroom counter, and find you have nothing dry to wear!
Perhaps you just returned from a day at the beach or a dip in the pool and you need somewhere to hang your dripping swimsuit and soggy towel.
Things happen when you travel.
At some point and for whatever reason, you will find yourself hand washing some of your clothes, whether you're doing travel laundry in a hotel room, hostel, RV, on a cruise ship, or while camping or backpacking.
How will you get your clothes dry? Where will you hang them?
If you sling your favorite travel shirt over the back of a wooden chair or tree branch to dry, the wood will likely stain the fabric. Worse still, the wet shirt can permanently damage the furnishing and the lodging will charge you for damages.
Say goodbye to sour mildewing damp laundry and hello to fresh smelling dry clean clothes.
The triple-braided design holds clothing without clothespins.
"The charm of this product is that it is not a single clothesline, but rather a woven, stretchy plait -- you pull open a plait, stick a little bit of your sock in there, then *PRESTO* your sock hangs from the line WITH NO CLOTHESPIN NECESSARY!" --H. Kelley
The black latex tubing stretches to 6 feet.
"The corded material is soft and non-staining, so it doesn't damage delicates and it's easy to use . . . Have on my packing list for next vacation!" --S. Jordan
"Super fast and easy to hang clothes." --R. R.
Adjustable straps have Velcro ends, which attach to towel bars, showerheads, hooks, doorknobs, window latches and more.
"Forget the suction cups. The Velcro allows this line to be strung across hotel bathtubs, towel rack to shower head or shower rod to shower head, and camping, from the "window" to the door opening. Has some stretch, and you do not need to twist your clothes to hang them. My cotton socks dried in a few hours and they were just lopped over the line, which is thick and allows air to move through the clothes. This was the third clothesline I bought on Amazon and it is the best." --N. L. S.
"Love this thing beyond reason! This thing rocks! I've been using travel clotheslines since the beginning of time and they don't vary all that much, except for the ones that just plain don't work. The great thing about this one is the Velcro option - never had that before and it really saves the day. This is a must have if you're on an extended trip, might want to bring another brand too just so you have options." --R. C.
Includes suction cups for attachment to shower stalls, windows, mirrors and walls.
"It stuck at either end as advertised and did the job. That says it all." --C. Overgaard
"I went on a cruise to the Galápagos Islands for a week. And then to Peru and Machu Picchu for the next week. Laundry services were not going to be available. So, I got a bunch of quick drying clothes and bought two of these clothes lines. I used the suction cups and stuck one end on the mirror in my cabin and I stuck the other end on the side wall (smooth laminate surface). I wet the suction cups before I stuck them. The clothes lines stayed put throughout the whole week Galapagos cruise. There were times when I draped some wet clothes over the lines and I was afraid that they would be too heavy, but the clothesline held fast. I am glad I purchased these clothes lines and would recommend them to anyone." --C.
Stows away in its own self-contained pouch with Velcro closure, no parts to lose, and it weighs only 2 ounces.
Took up minimal space in our luggage and really lightweight. An essential piece of travel equipment! I'm excited to try it camping next summer as well." --A. KutHart
"It is very light and takes up little packing space. I am tempted to get another one." --B.
"Takes up no room in a suitcase or back pack." --S. Allen
The Lewis N. Clark™ Travel Clothesline is a great value.
"When traveling, folds and packs up in a very compact manner. Based on price at Amazon, it's the best value vs. brick and mortar options. Highly recommended." --T. J.
"I backpacked for a month in Europe and this clothesline was fantastic! Some of the travelers I met were very jealous of it and one even offered to buy it from me." --J. Pond
"I've had my eye on a latex tubing clothesline for a while now, but this was the first time I've used one. I always thought it was a bit of a gimmick to be truthful, because I kept thinking that the rubber braid would just sag with the weight of the wet clothes. Honestly – it worked. I'm not sure that I would trust the suction cups to hold up the clothesline and heavy wet items, but at least you have the other two attachment options for extra security."
--Mary Chong, CalculatedTraveller.com
"Lewis N. Clark has just about everything a traveler would need, whether a thru-trail hiker or an urban adventurer . . . To keep clean and save money, I will wash my clothes in the sink or shower, and then hang them on this latex clothesline, which can be strung outside, in the bathroom, or across my bunk. And I don't have to waste precious suitcase space by bringing clothespins. The braided latex will pinch clothes into place. When combined with my moisture-wicking and quick-drying clothing, I won't have to worry about wet OR smelly clothes!"
--Jessica Lippe, JessicaLippe.com
"This is a traveler's must have. I've used it several times in my travels. I don't like to pack too many clothes, I like to hand wash my clothes and I don't like to pay for laundry so this clothesline is my solution. I use the suction cups a lot and for the most part they do hold in place so long as you're not hanging jeans and heavy towels or sweaters, or anything heavy. They have held up my underwear, socks, tank tops, shirts, swimming shorts with ease. I like that I don't have to put the clothes over the line, but instead pinch them through the braided rubber clothesline. I pack this with me all the time. Highly recommended!"
*WARNING: If you are allergic to latex you shouldn't buy this.
If you're like me, you don't like all the work of packing more than you need . . . you travel light.
It's why packing a roll of clothesline twine and a bunch of clothespins is cumbersome, bulky and unwieldy with lots of pieces to keep track of, and doesn't pack nicely at all.
When you need to dry your clothes in a hotel, RV or campground, then a specially designed clothesline, like the Lewis N. Clark™ Travel Clothesline, is what you need to get the job done.
Each Lewis N. Clark™ Travel Clothesline packs so nicely into its own pocket and effortlessly tucks into your luggage, backpack or coat pocket; almost weightless.
This travel clothesline is just the right size for those who pack light into carry-on size luggage or backpack, and are likely handwashing some laundry just about every night.
I recommend purchasing one for each traveler in your group, so you have enough clotheslines to meet your laundry needs.
In our small RV we often travel to wilderness locations where there are no facilities such as expensive laundromats or travel trailer hookups. This is called boondocking or dry camping.
Because our travel trailer is so compact, there is no room to bring large bulky items, such as a bottle of laundry detergent from home, a roll of twine, a bunch of clothespins or a folding clothes rack. Moreover, many campgrounds and wilderness areas forbid tying clotheslines to trees.
The Lewis N. Clark™ Travel Clothesline is perfect for trips like this. I hang things over the shower rod and hook up my travel clothesline inside the shower for extra drying space.
Our small RV is an extremely lightweight model so we save on fuel when on the road. Everything we pack in it meets our specifications for "lightweight", "compact" and "multipurpose".
This little travel clothesline fits our standard.
I was pleasantly surprised to have received a quality product I quickly found to be indispensable. So much so, I keep a travel clothesline packed in my survival gear.
For those who prefer to pack light, this is the travel clothesline for them. The compact pocket is, 4¼ x 7½ x 1½ inches, weighs 2 ounces and is made of high quality rip-stop nylon and nylon mesh that packs and travels well.
Mine took quite a beating on a long business trip to Las Vegas, Nevada USA and came home looking brand new.
The thoughtful design allows the travel clothesline to easily lay between layers in carry-on luggage, fit in a day-pack, backpack or coat pocket, or pack inside a collapsible laundry basket or travel laundry bag.
To keep travel laundry chores simple, plan to hand wash every day or two. I keep up by washing my clothes as soon as they are dirty. This way, all my travel clothes, except the ones I am wearing, are clean, always packed and ready to go.
Get your Lewis N. Clark™ Travel Clothesline, and then add in a travel laundry kit, a microfiber towel, a portable hair dryer, quick-dry socks and clothes, and you are good to go anywhere!
*Note: I am a brand ambassador for Lewis N. Clark™. They asked me to evaluate some of their travel products. In return for this product review I received a free Travel Clothesline to field test while on road trips.

The family car is in free fall
|Midsize car sales have declined faster as the year goes on
|YOY change
|Source: Automotive News Data Center
The family sedan is dying, and the usual cure-all prescription — cash on the hood — isn't working.
In one of the U.S. auto industry's best years ever, with sales through August 0.5 percent ahead of last year's record pace, demand for midsize cars is at a five-year low.
The segment is fading faster with each passing month. Midsize car sales fell 3.4 percent in the first quarter, 13 percent in the second quarter and 21 percent so far in the third, compared with last year.
In August alone, sales of the Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima all plunged more than 30 percent. Chrysler 200 sales fell by two thirds. Across all 16 midsize nameplates, the declines averaged 27 percent, a loss of more than 60,000 units.
Meanwhile, sales of compact and smaller cars fell just 3.6 percent last month, in line with the industry's overall decline of 3.5 percent, showing that the market's shift away from sedans isn't across the board. Some high-volume small cars, including the Chevrolet Cruze and Honda Civic, posted gains in August.
"That larger sedan buyer just sees more value in the SUVs or CUVs," said Mike DeSilva, co-owner of Liberty Hyundai in Mahwah, N.J. "That's just where the activity is. And heading into the end of summer and going into winter, we're really going to get into SUV season."
Midsize cars have been the industry's powerhouse segment for decades, even through the SUV boom of the 1990s and early 2000s. In each of the past four years, sales have topped 2.4 million.
But for 2016, compact crossovers are poised to take over as No. 1 for the first time, as midsize cars likely will fall to fourth. Since June, midsize cars have been less popular than full-size pickups and compact cars, too.
That's in spite of increasing discounts on midsize cars. Incentives last month on the top eight midsize nameplates were 7 percent, or $252, higher than in August 2015 and 11 percent above the industry average, according to Autodata.
"It doesn't matter how deep you discount the leisure suit and bell-bottoms — nobody's going to buy them if they're not fashionable," said Eric Lyman, vice president of industry insights at TrueCar. "I don't think they're ever going to go away, but there's a lot more people who don't consider them anymore."
Last December, Bob Carter, Toyota's head of U.S. operations, predicted that the Camry, America's No. 1 car for 14 consecutive years, would be outsold by the company's own RAV4 within five years. The fizzling of the midsize car segment could make that happen much sooner.
In August, the Camry trailed the RAV4 for the first time, according to the Automotive News Data Center. The Camry fell short of the Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue as well.
Aside from midsize cars, sales of everything else rose 0.4 percent last month. Analysts and automakers are divided on whether the year will end up ahead of 2015, when 17.47 million vehicles were sold. Last year included the strongest fourth quarter ever, so matching that will be a challenge.
The industry's seasonally adjusted, annualized selling rate fell to 16.97 million last month, from 17.86 million in July and 17.79 million a year ago. Still, sales have topped 1.5 million in each of the past six months, the longest such streak on record.
General Motors' chief economist, Mustafa Mohatarem, said healthy economic indicators "point toward a strong second half of the year and another potential record year for the industry." But Ford Motor Co. said sales have already reached a plateau, signaling that a second consecutive annual record might be slightly out of reach.
"We have a pretty high level of sales," said Bryan Bezold, Ford's senior U.S. economist. "It's just we're no longer in a period where we have a lot of pent-up demand coming out of the financial crisis."

Jerry Sandusky Scandal
Curley, Schultz set for court; McQueary expected to testify
A national audience eager to hear in Mike McQueary's own words what he saw in a Penn State locker room shower in 2002 didn't get that opportunity when Jerry Sandusky waived his right to a preliminary hearing Tuesday.
But that testimony may come Friday during a preliminary hearing for Penn State administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz in Harrisburg.
Experts said it's likely that McQueary will take the stand as the main witness in their perjury and failure-to-report-abuse case, which is centered on the 2002 shower incident, the most striking allegation from the grand jury's presentment. A grand jury concluded the men lied about their knowledge of Sandusky's alleged rape of the boy in the shower in 2002.
Pittsburgh attorneys for Curley and Schultz, Caroline Roberto and Tom Farrell, said their clients are innocent.
"Mr. Curley and Mr. Schultz look forward to the preliminary hearing to start the process of clearing their good names and demonstrating that they testified truthfully to the grand jury," Roberto and Farrell said in a statement this week.
Prosecutors expect the separate preliminary hearings for Curley, 57, and Schultz, 62, to be consolidated into a single hearing that is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. and last for a few hours. Although the court has banned transmissions via the Internet while court is in session, news organizations have petitioned to allow real-time reports.
The prosecution's burden of proof is low for a preliminary hearing. A judge, who must assume the evidence presented is true, determines if there's enough evidence to allege a crime was committed and bind over the case for trial. District Judge William C. Wenner will preside over Curley and Schultz's hearings.
For the perjury charge, prosecutors will have to have two witnesses corroborate what the prosecution is alleging — that Curley and Schultz lied under oath. That could come by live testimony or, in this case, prosecutors could have a witness's previous grand jury testimony read as evidence. That could point to McQueary testifying. It's possible that Joe Paterno, who's been reportedly in poor health, could testify, but it's also possible that someone would simply read his grand jury testimony.
For Curley and Schultz, the perjury charge is a felony and punishable up to seven years in prison. The failure to report abuse charge is a summary offense punishable by up to 90 days in jail.
Joe Amendola, the attorney for Sandusky, Tuesday morning praised Curley, Schultz and Paterno but lambasted McQueary. Curley, Schultz and Paterno are "very good people," though not personal friends of his, he said.
He excoriated McQueary and his account of the 2002 shower incident during an impromptu news conference Tuesday held in front of the Centre County Courthouse after Sandusky unexpectedly waived his preliminary hearing at the last minute.
He suggested that the grand jury's conclusion — that Mike Mc- Queary told Paterno, Curley and Schultz that he saw Sandusky raping a young child in the shower and that their only response was to tell Sandusky not to bring children from his Second Mile charity on campus — doesn't make sense.
McQueary's original testimony to the grand jury, according to the presentment, was that he went into the Lasch Building on a Friday night in March 2002 and heard what he thought to be sex sounds. McQueary told the grand jury he saw Sandusky performing a sexual act on a young boy, left distraught and went to the house of his father, John McQueary, to tell him about he saw.
The presentment said McQueary told head football coach Joe Paterno about the incident the next day, but it doesn't say how McQueary characterized the incident to Paterno. The day after that, Paterno told Curley of McQueary's report. About a week and a half later, McQueary told Curley and Schultz what he'd seen, the grand jury found.
But Curley and Schultz told the grand jury McQueary didn't tell them the acts he witnessed were sexual in nature. The grand jury found Mc- Queary's testimony more credible.
But in recent weeks, there have been reports that McQueary has told versions describing what he saw in the shower that are inconsistent with his grand jury testimony.
For instance McQueary, in an email to a friend, wrote that he stopped the alleged sex act and told police about it. Penn State and State College police both said they never received such a report.
On Sunday, The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News reported that McQueary told a family friend, Dr. Jonathan Dranov, a different story. The Patriot-News cited a source who said that Dranov testified to the grand jury that McQueary didn't tell him a sexual act had occurred.
Art Donato, a Philadelphia-area attorney who knows both Roberto and Farrell, said the attorneys won't be allowed to challenge McQueary's credibility during the preliminary hearing and won't be able to refer to those reports of inconsistencies.
However, Widener University associate law professor Jules Epstein said attorneys can maneuver around that a bit.
"A lawyer might be able to ask some questions and learn some things that would be useful in credibility determinations at trial," he said. "On average ... good lawyers would try and do that."
It would be up to the judge to rule on an objection from prosecutors looking to have that line of questioning stopped.
"Some judges give a little more leeway than others," Epstein said.
Jonathan Hugg, a partner at Thorp Reed and Armstrong, said the preliminary hearing is an opportunity to learn more about the prosecution's case.
"I think that the principal advantage is that it's an opportunity to obtain discovery, and a secondary benefit is that you may actually be able to knock some of the charges out," Hugg said.
While prosecutors' burden of proof for the preliminary hearing is relatively low, that will change when the case goes to trial. Perjury, said Hugg, is not an easy charge to prove.
Prosecutors, he said, have to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt that a person intended to lie and did lie. That's not easy. The typical situation where a prosecutor can prove that involves somebody frankly lacking the judgment to invoke the Fifth [Amendment]."
Hugg said he thinks Curley and Schultz should have taken advantage of their right to not incriminate themselves and invoked the Fifth Amendment when they went before the grand jury.
"When called before a grand jury, your first loyalty ought to be to yourself, not to your employer," Hugg said, adding that could might include loyalty to family. "If these people thought they were protecting an institution or co-worker or anybody else, I think they are probably rethinking that right now." Anne Danahy contributed to this report.

House bill increases hunter access to public lands
A hunting bill passed by the House on Tuesday makes it harder to restrict hunting and fishing on public lands and ensures that the hunter's arsenal will continue to include lead bullets
The legislation, which passed 274-146, also allows those who have legally hunted polar bears in Canada to bring their trophies home.
Republican sponsors said the bill, which faces an uncertain future in the Senate, protects sportsmen from bureaucratic restrictions. Democratic opponents said it was unneeded because 85 percent of federal land is open to hunting and called it a sop to the gun lobby.
The measure requires federal land managers to support hunting and fishing on Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land. The BLM can only close public lands to recreational shooting for specific reasons such as national security and fire safety. It must also submit a report to Congress detailing the location and evidence justifying any closure.
The lead issue refers to efforts by environmentalists to ban the use of lead in ammunition and fishing tackle. They say lead poisoning kills 10 million to 20 million birds and other animals every year and that hunters who eat what they hunt have also been shown to have higher levels of lead in their bloodstreams.

BEIJING — As Myanmar's leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, met this past week with Chinese officials during her five-day visit here, China helped arrange a gift for her back home, a reminder that it wants to make itself Myanmar's new best friend.
Since assuming power this year, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi has said her major goal is to end 70 years of civil war with ethnic minorities seeking greater autonomy. The gift, announced Thursday, was a letter signed by three well-armed and stubborn ethnic rebel groups with ties to China that declared their intention to join a peace conference she will convene this month.
"I do believe that as a good neighbor China will do everything possible to promote our peace process," Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi said at a news conference here on Friday. "If you ask me what my most important aim is for my country, that is to achieve peace and unity among the different peoples of our union. Without peace there can be no sustained development."
But China was not acting out of altruism when it nudged the groups to join the peace talks.
After years of encouraging the armed groups, China wants to end the prolonged fighting. The lawlessness created by that conflict has allowed the illegal jade and timber trade, worth billions of dollars, to flourish, but it has also made legitimate commerce across China's southern border with Myanmar almost impossible.
Once peace comes, China plans to build roads and railways across northern Myanmar to the Bay of Bengal, a short cut to supplement the recently built oil and gas pipelines that would bolster trade from the Middle East by avoiding the South China Sea. China also has other projects in mind to knit Myanmar into its orbit.
As an indicator of that interest, the Chinese president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, Jin Liqun, met with Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi on Friday.
But China is not the only player in Myanmar with plans for new relationships and investments after decades of corrupt military governments. The United States was the handmaiden to the successful election in November, when Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy, won in a landslide. She is scheduled to visit the White House next month, an invitation intended to confirm the legacy of President Obama's role in Myanmar's transition from authoritarian rule to a fledgling democracy.
Washington, facing widespread popular sentiment against nation building, no longer pays for major projects abroad, except through the World Bank and other international financial institutions.
American corporations have been reluctant to invest in Myanmar; although the Treasury Department lifted an array of sanctions a few months ago, others were tightened on some major companies in Myanmar.
That means that China has an opportunity to play a major role as a builder in Myanmar, a nation strategically placed between India, China and Southeast Asia and with access to the Indian Ocean.
But the United States is not completely out of the picture, analysts say. They note that Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi is working to cultivate ties with both Washington and Beijing as foreign minister, one of the many posts she holds as the country's de facto leader.
"China sees everything in a transactional way to help themselves," said Hans W. Vriens, a managing partner of Vriens & Partners, a corporate advisory company that specializes in Myanmar. "Its expectations may be too high. Aung San Suu Kyi is rebalancing with China, but they're not going to move away from the United States. Washington was a very, very big role in the whole transformation to democracy and will remain so under her."
The Obama administration is not opposed to China's role in resolving the fighting between the myriad ethnic groups and the army, Mr. Vriens said.
An end to the wars in the border region where the groups influenced by China operate is in the interests of the United States and its ally Japan, which has made Myanmar a major destination for its foreign aid and corporate investment, he said. Japanese government experts are helping Myanmar's ministries draw up plans for urban renewal and transportation routes.
On Thursday, three armed groups that had refused to attend the peacemaking gathering, called the Panglong Conference, said they were willing to be there on Aug. 31. All of them — the Kokang group, the Arakan Army and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army — receive backing from across the border in China.
The Kokang, an ethnic Chinese group, used southern China as a haven for tens of thousands of refugees last year during fierce fighting with the Myanmar Army.
In a reversal, the Kokang's leader, Peng Jiasheng, 85, said in a recent letter that he welcomed Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi's overtures. "I believe the full stream of history will go ahead," he wrote.
And with China's backing, the most recalcitrant of the ethnic fighters, the United Wa State Army, the largest ethnic army in Myanmar, has also said it will join the peace gathering.
The conference, to be in held in the capital, Naypyidaw, is Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi's signature effort since assuming power.
She has likened the initiative to the peace talks in Northern Ireland, and she is working on it with the British politician Jonathan Powell, a chief negotiator on those talks and chief of staff under Tony Blair, then the prime minister.
China's president, Xi Jinping, told Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi on Friday that China would play a "constructive role" in the peace process. Before arriving in Beijing, she promised China a role as mediator at the conference.
But Sumlut Gun Maw, a prominent leader of the Kachin, a largely Christian group that is fighting the Myanmar government, warned that Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi should be careful not to overplay her hand with China.
Mr. Sumlut Gun Maw, who met with Obama administration officials in Washington several years ago, said the relationship with the Chinese could backfire.
The Wa and Kokang enjoy "comradely" ties with China, he said, and China is likely to demand much in return for delivering them to the peace process.

Lookology equals "What Every Body is Saying" by Joe Navarro!!
For those of you who have read my blogs, you will remember a blog about lookology. Lookology was the opposite of lisology and part of the looklisology interviewing process. Both are interviewing techniques, both are designed to take interviewing to the next level, and work very well with behavioral interviewing. Lisology was the process of not only listening to what is said but the way it is said, the choice of words, inflexions, pauses, and sighs to garner more information about a candidate. As you can imagine Lookology is the process were we look at the nonverbal communication going on during an interview. These nonverbal communications are also called "tells". Well A friend of mine was telling me about this book called, "What Every Body is Saying" by Joe Navarro. I bought the book and read it, in fact I am rereading it. This book sums up lookology and in fact teaches it in a way, better than I ever could. In this book Joe makes it clear how to identify all the things I talked about in my blog on Lookology. Joe takes his 25 years of experience as an FBI agent, and expert in "Speed-Reading" people and explains to everyone how you can do it, and in my blog I explain how to use in in interviewing. It's a must read, if you want to be a better interviewer and expert in Lookology.

Interesting, Dean. Really, really interesting... (I started looking into something comparable decades ago but, hadn't looked at the subject recently. (No pun intended on the #lookology part...))

Home Accessories Made From Discarded Metal Objects by Eco-Artist Tammy Roe
We received some fascinating accessories made by Tammy Roe for Sawbridge Studios from discarded metal that we just had to share. Here are some words about the person behind tjis unique projects. "Eco-Artist Tammy Roe is on the hunt, proving one man's trash can be another woman's treasure.This former graphic designer and mom of three tossed aside her fonts, paper samples and color charts to instead strap-on a pair of goggles, fire-up a welding torch and head to the local dumpster. Tammy now spends hours combing through scrapyards, discovering and reclaiming the industrial objects that inspire her one-of-a-kind, heavy-metal masterpieces. Working in a medium of nuts, bolts, washers, hinges, metal tools and gages, Tammy carefully arranges and fuses each creation, breathing new life into discarded everyday objects transformed into detailed and amazing sculpture." How do you feel about this type of accessories? Would you consider having them in your home?

Sony Ericsson Satio (formerly Idou)
The new flagship Sony Ericsson phone with the best camera ever
The Satio is a 3.5-inch wide-format touchscreen handset which includes A-GPS with Google Maps, and geo-tagging. It runs the Symbian S60 5th edition OS, as debuted on Nokia's 5800, but with a large number of Sony Ericsson tweaks and personalisations.
Sony Ericsson has confirmed that the UMTS/HSPA handset will ship with a 8GB microSD card, and will be available in three colours (black, silver and bordeaux) this autumn.
Our expert says: "Sony Ericsson's worldwide fortunes seem to go from bad to worse - the previous 'flagship' phone, the Xperia X1, didn't set many phone-passions blazing, so it was vital the next big handset was a doozie.
"You can't dispute that the Satio, a 12.1MP-toting, crisp touchscreen-sporting multimedia behemoth, is a very good effort, but there are some notable absences (like more onboard storage and a 3.5mm headphone port) that make you wonder if this is something that will draw people away from the likes of the Pre and the iPhone."

Sabaah Folayan is an activist and storyteller who illuminates the humanity, resilience and beauty in the struggle of communities as they mobilize and fight for justice. She merged her dedication to human rights and a newfound passion for film with Whose Streets?, a feature documentary chronicling the experience of Ferguson community members after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. Sabaah and her co-director Damon Davis are premiering Whose Streets? at Sundance 2017, but this episode's conversation took place in October of 2015, when Sabaah was still in the depths of production and stepped away to pitch the film at Camden International Film Festival's Points North Forum in Maine. We talk with Sabaah about moving to Ferguson, working to understand the complexities of the situation amongst a sea of sensational headlines, the unique education she had between living off the land in Hawaii and living in divergent Los Angeles neighborhoods, and the forever valuable lesson she learned as a basketball player, "Everything you do is practice for the next time you do it." The music in this episode is off Velvet and Bone, a new album by a past MusicMaker, Stag Hare.
MUSIC in this episode is off a new album titled Velvet and Bone by past She Does MusicMaker and friend, Stag Hare. Willow (formerly Zara) is the MusicMaker behind Stag Hare and was featured in Episode 22.5. Listen to and buy her music via Bandcamp and visit her website and Facebook.

married | lauren+rob | nashville wedding photographer/
Earlier this month, we had the honor of documenting the beautiful Nashville wedding of Lauren and Rob. Lauren is the younger sister of our former bride and a precious friend from my Belmont University days, Kristin, and we were so excited to be part of another of their family's celebrations.
Their wedding day was truly the fairytale that Lauren wished for, and no fairytale would be complete without a fairy godmother - in this case, wedding planner extraordinaire Kelly Dellinger. A little rain couldn't keep this event from being one of the most lovely we've ever seen, and the couple spent the day surrounded by and celebrating with the sweetest friends and family.
The day began with the girls getting ready at Lauren's parents' house...
While the girls got ready, Rob and has groomsmen were hanging out at his childhood home just down the road...
Lauren's dress was an updated version of her mother's wedding gown, and she looked absolutely radiant in it.
Rob and Lauren chose not to see each other, but to exchange letters before their ceremony. This was such a sweet moment...
The ceremony was held at the beautiful Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville's West End neighborhood.
After a few photos in the church courtyard, we headed to the Frist Learning Center for cocktail hour and more photos on the beautiful grounds at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens...
Lauren and Rob were such troopers and stepped outside with me during the reception to get some beautiful nighttime shots on the property. This is one of my absolute favorites...
No Kapolas family wedding would be complete without a little Greek dancing. SO FUN!
Rob+Lauren :: Thank you so, so much for allowing us to celebrate with you! Wishing you all the happiness marriage has to offer in your life together!

Or call 1-866-439-5633.
(daily, 5 a.m.–9 p.m. PT)
Many Delawareans are homeowners, and so know the benefit of protecting their valuables and savings with homeowners insurance. However, if you're one of Delaware's 80,000-plus apartment residents or you rent a condo or house, you might be surprised to learn that having your own brand of protection — renters insurance — is just as important.
While most landlords cover the structure of your unit, they don't cover your personal property or liability. So if a burglar makes off with your TV, or a guest is injured at your apartment, you'll be out of pocket if you're not covered.
Thankfully, Esurance can help you get a policy that feels right for you. While we don't currently provide renters insurance in Delaware, we can still hook you up with a free quote and a reliable, affordable policy from our partner.
My last insurance company was so complicated. I love how easy and accessible Esurance is. I can print what I need when I need it, and the customer service is the best I've ever experienced.
— Paul, Florida
I filed a claim online and was called within 30 minutes. My rep was very helpful and informative — but most of all she was human. It made an odd situation easy to work through.
— Jordan, Massachusetts
You guys get it and you rock! I love dealing with efficient companies without all of the red tape and corporate stuffiness! Thank you Esurance for being awesome and providing a good service.
— Kristoffer, South Carolina

text: Come May of this year we will see the introduction of GDPR in the UK. Arguably one of the most significant pieces of legislation to affect all businesses, schools and public services in many years. Judging by the sheer volume of material out there at the moment many organisations like AspiraCloud are working out what that means for us and our clients. One of the fundamental strands of GDPR is your right to be forgotten and your right for full disclosure of any data an organisation may hold on you, know as a Subject Access Request. With GDPR only four months away most organisations report that they are still not prepared, but do not worry too much, help is at hand. ...Read More

fyi: minor updates for database software
Brian Renaud
Wed Mar 13 19:32:13 CET 1996
I've installed a version of the database software (still on the 1.0.3 base) with the following changes: aspathre: support AS-MACROs in AS extended path regular expressions make grammar conform to AS path RE grammar currently in the RA Toolset (version 3.2) ripe181/src: support line continuations with a '\' at the end of the line (strip out the '\' and do the line joins on input) support AS Macro syntax of /^AS\-[A-Z]([_-]*[A-Z0-9]+)*$/ support RIPE 181 routing policy expressions with the "OR" keyword support community list syntax of /^[A-Za-z]([_-]*[A-Za-z0-9]+)*$ implement quad2int and int2quad versions that work with perl4 & perl5 change PGP scanning to handle possible security hole add RIPE 1.1beta support for passwords on authorise and override send data base responses back to anyone on the cc list for the original message to auto-dbm clean up some messages support deletes of aut-nums which contain optional ("sugar") words (from, to, accept) This distribution is available at: ftp://ftp.ra.net/routing.arbiter/radb/tools/dbase_960312_full.tar.gz for full images of all the files, or ftp://ftp.ra.net/routing.arbiter/radb/tools/dbase_960312_RIPE-1.0.3_diff.tar.g z for a version with a patchable diff file (against RIPE version 1.0.3). I should have another update fairly soon which puts all of the extended path expression handling into perl, so that I can remove the stand-alone syntax checker (aspathre) hack. -Brian -------- Logged at Wed Mar 13 20:11:14 MET 1996 ---------

Lipstick Raw Materials
Before making lipstick, ingredients must be chosen. The primary ingredients of every lipstick are waxes, oils, and pigments, but many other substances can be introduced into the mix that will enhance certain parts of the final product and add it some specific new features such as fragrance, longevity and gloss.
The wax used usually involves some combination of three types : beeswax, candelilla wax or the more expensive carnauba. Wax enables the mixture to be formed into the easily recognized shape of the cosmetic. Oils such as mineral, caster, lanolin, or vegetable are added to the wax.
Some of the most common secondary ingredients are preservatives (to ensure longer shelf life), alcohol (solvent for other substances), fragrance (oils and waxes can sometimes have their own smell and taste, which needs to be eliminated), antioxidant and others wide vaiety of other ingredients can also be included to make the substance smoother or glossy or to moisten the lips.
Lipstick tube
The tubes that hold lipstick range from inexpensive plastic dispensers for lip balms to ornate metal for lipsticks. Sizes are not uniform, but generally lipstick is sold in a tube 3 inches (7.6 cm) in length and about .50 inch (1.3 cm) in diameter. The tube has two parts, a cover and a base. The base is made up of two components, the twisting or sliding of which will push the lipstick up for application.

'Deep down, I think all of us sense we were put on this planet to do something significant---to touch someone's life, to do some good,' writes Mike Breaux. Again and again, he's seen the cannonball approach make that happen. 'Water goes flying everywhere! The ripples go out, hit the side, and come back in...they just keep going and going, long after you made your initial splash.'
In Making Ripples, you'll meet people whose lives have been changed by ripples---and who then created ripples of their own. A recovered gambler 'ripples' on a desperate young stranger; a wine goddess in a Las Vegas casino 'ripples' on her coworkers; and a grateful-to-be-changed redneck 'ripples' on a former cocaine buddy. Then there's Nanny, who poured an incredible 103 years of love into her six daughters and their families and whose influence ripples down the generations.
So don't just dip your toe into the water. Jump in! Move beyond a life filled with 'whatever' and the 'same old, same old.' Do something that will live on long after you're gone. As Mike Breaux reminds us, it's never too late to put yourself in the loving hands of the Destiny Maker and make a splash with your one and only life.

The Zen Thinking Podcast — Episode 73 — A Quiet Contemplation of Self-Inquiry/
Join me in a meditation of Self, an inquiry into understanding the true nature of this knowing presence that you are and that I am.
Self-Inquiry, otherwise known as atma-vichara in Sanskrit, is a tool used in Advaita Vedanta's seminal practice of Jnana Yoga, which is the Yoga of Wisdom.
This wisdom is not of the intellect however, it is the wisdom of knowing your Self as you truly are, and not how you think you are. Self-Inquiry is used to dispel the illusion of mind which is continually projected onto the world (and self) you perceive.
Self-Inquiry dissolves the ignorance of the falsely perceived personal self into the silent awareness of pure consciousness, which is the very presence of being which you acknowledge through your utterance of, I am.
I often speak of Self-Inquiry, but few understand how to approach it in their daily life. So, if this interests you, please join me in this podcast for a quiet walk-through of this inner-inquiry, which is the oldest question in the Universe—Who am I?
Delve into the nature of your being, of consciousness, and find your Self.
Om shanti shanti shanti
Brian Thompson
This episode includes readings of the following recently-published works from the Zen Thinking website:

|The latest group of little boxes, starting with walnut logs I salvaged from a tree taken down in the neighborhood years ago. Most of the things I make are very small so I expect this cord of wood to last for many years.
I start by slicing the rounds into panels and then slicing those into long square strips. After running through the planer, they're cut into individual sections to make into boxes. I add contrasting end pieces of mahogany, teak, cherry, or maple to add a little interest and drill for the magnets that hold the two halves together. After sanding each gets several light coats of clear satin finish and small strips of black foam inside to secure whatever jewelry will go inside. The foam is removable and you can use it to hold a ring in place, or take it out to make room for a necklace, earrings, or charms.

Subscribe To The Office Preview: Season 8, Episode 10 - Christmas Wishes Updates
I've already subscribed
This Thursday night, NBC will unveil the holiday-themed episodes of their comedy line-up and that includes The Office. We have a clip to show you from the episode, which shows off some of the Dunder Mifflin Christmas decorations, in addition to giving us an excellently awkward meeting between one regular staff member and a new visitor.
We've known for a while that Andy has a girlfriend and based on the clip below, not only does it look like we'll be getting to meet her this Thursday night, but she'll be meeting Erin. Unsurprisingly, weirdness ensues...
Leave it to Erin to redefine awkward, what with the hug and the spontaneous scoliosis jokes. Erin is funny when she's dorky but she's even funnier when she's on the defensive. It'll be interesting to see if there's any drama between her and Jessica as this episode plays out.
The Office airs Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. ET on NBC.

Artists at War
In 2015 the world commemorated the 100th anniversary of the last century's
first ethnic cleansing when 1.5 Armenians were annihilated with hundreds of
thousands of refugees fleeing to the neighboring countries. The year 2015 also
marked the worst migration crisis since WWII with the exodus of 60 MILLION
refugees and displaced individuals worldwide.
There's a stark, painful dichotomy in this reality which brings to light the obvious
unlearned lessons of our history as we attest "never again" yet orders of new wars
are signed into action….signing away in essence humanity's destruction.
Artists at War is a multi-media site of interviews with and views of artists living in war zones, or as war refugees from conflict zones, exiled into adopted countries, waging global art wars to make audible the fears, horrors, and plights of oppression, ethnic cleansing, tyranny and near annihilation. It is also stories of those who were in some way or another, physical and psychological victims of wars which have ravaged the region in the aftermath of 9/11.
In 2015 our "modern, civilized" world marked the worst migration crisis since World War II bringing to life two significant numbers as billowing wakeup calls:
From the Balkans to the Middle East to Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe the ravaging ethnic, territorial, religious wars have razed through countless lands, giving birth to an exodus of 60 million refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) worldwide [source: United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The chaos and mayhem documented, reported on, and shared by western powers' pseudo-news teams are mere snippets of reality. Our senses have become immune to images of mutilated, dead bodies strewn across fields where livestock once grazed. Live video footage of bloody obliteration are "sophisticated" military industrial show-offs creeping into our comfortable, safe haven living rooms where we are untouched by the anarchy our tax dollars, and more importantly our silence, has allowed.
These are the voices unheard - cries un-answered and pleas in need of attention and repair. They are from artists living in war zones - and at war armed with their art.
Artists at War is emulating an online museum updated in real-time, providing instant engagement opportunity between the viewer and the artist.

Healthcare is Not a Game, but it Should Be
Healthcare is serious business. In the United States, healthcare costs eat up 18% of the GDP and are rising quickly. The US spends twice as much per person as any other country on healthcare but has outcomes that rank at the bottom of the peer nations. Private insurers, federal payers, and large healthcare systems dominate the conversation. Somewhere at the bottom of all this is the patient.
Americans in this system are led to believe that their health is the responsibility of others. After all, the insurers dictate which providers they can see and providers decide which services they can receive. Medication and surgery are the go-to options, requiring minimal effort from the patient. Although doctors have easy access to patient medical records, a patient only has access to their own record by requesting it, paying for it and waiting a while to get it. When it arrives, it is nearly incomprehensible. Americans have outsourced their personal health to the healthcare system.
Disconnecting people from responsibility for their own health has led to an epidemic of obesity, diabetes and chronic health problems. At the root of the healthcare problem is the issue of how to change the behavior of Americans toward more healthy lifestyles and put the control and responsibility back in their hands.
The advent of consumer wearable sensors like the Fitbit and other activity monitors have shown the power of immediate feedback to change behavior. A recent study showed that nearly half of adults who used a wearable monitor for activity tracking experienced strong behavior change. This may not seem extraordinary until you realize that all the money that has been spent on educational tools and public service campaigns has produced very little result in terms of increasing healthy behavior. Personal, immediate and tangible feedback with reinforcement is the key to behavior change.
Games are the digital personification of real-time feedback and reinforcement. Digital games have proven to be engaging for people of all ages and are the key to shaping patient behavior toward better health outcomes. Digital games can be delivered on a cell phone, providing 24/7 access to the patient's attention and activities and allowing healthcare activities to be integrated into daily life instead of happening only occasionally in a clinic or healthcare setting. The feedback, interaction, metrics and goals captured in digital games may be the solution to the American health care problem.

Adding titles before one's name was a frenzy in Tamil cinema industry and the trend is still being continued. While the industries like Bollywood and Hollywood do not follow such frenzies, southern cinema industries have always adhered to this trend, which they believe adds more to the fan following of the particular actor. Especially, in Tamil cinema industry the trend has been here since the times of veteran actors Sivaji Ganesan and MGR, and even the young the actors now are following that traditional trend. The recent one to join the titled-name club is actor Santhanam, who has now become 'Comedy Superstar Santhanam'!
Comedian Santhanam is getting his market value increased day by day, as he is capable of making people laugh with his timely and witty one – liners. He has already done so many movies in Tamil industry, and right now he is called the most successful comedian in the Tamil cinema industry, as the good times of leading comedians Vadivelu and Vivekh is fading away with less movie opportunities. Santhanam is also busiest comedian in the industry with an array of movies like Singam2, Boologam, Shankar's I, Settai, Vaalu, Amali Thumali and Kanna Laddu Thinga Aasaiyaa.
The buzz regarding actor Santhanam now is that, he has been given a title for his name by the crew of the movie, Settai. Settai is the remake of the Hindi movie Delhi Belly, which stars actors Arya, Premji Amaran and Santhanam in the lead roles. It seems as if Santhanam has performed so well in the movie that now the movie unit is calling him Comedy Superstar Santhanam and is also set to add that title to his name in the credits of the movie.
The reports add that Santhanam was happy with the title and also immediately approached the real Superstar Rajnikanth to check if he is happy with his Comedy Superstar title. Rajnikanth generously told him that Superstar title is not registered for him alone. Hence, it seems from now onwards Santhanam will be called Comedy Superstar Santhanam, and even in his forthcoming movies' titled cards!
