I recently visited Bistro Delicat as my boyfriend and I got a deal on LivingSocial for a 2 course meal with wine. It was a good meal, but I wasn't especially thrilled.
The deal we had purchased specified 2 starters, 2 mains, and 2 glasses of wine. The wine I wanted happened to be twice the price of many of the other wines on the (rather extensive) list, so I thought to ask if it was...more

US 4428242 A Abstract The invention relates to a flow rate measuring device in a liquid flow including a torque detecting member having its longitudinal plane fixedly mounted at an acute angle relative to the direction of liquid flow. Energy from the liquid flow provides a torsional stress on the mounting means. A torque detecting device is provided to detect the torsional stress and converts such measured torque into a flow rate of the liquid flow.
Claims(1) 1. A flow rate measuring device comprising:
a cylindrical conduit adapted for fluid flow therethrough along longitudinal axis thereof, a torque detecting member of a disc shape, a rod shaped attachment means fixedly attached to and passing through the center of said torque detecting means, said attachment means having one end fixedly attached to said conduit so as to support said torque detecting member in a predetermined acute angle to said longitudinal axis of said conduit, strain gauge type torque measuring means affixed to said attachment means and display means operatively connected to said torque measuring means, said torque detecting member adapted to transmit directly to said attachment means the force of a fluid flowing through said conduit in the form of a torque, said torque measuring means utilizing said torque to transmit a signal to said display means whereby said signal will be converted to a visual display in units of rate of flow of fluid through said conduit. Description Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a flow rate measuring device 10 embodying the structure of the invention. The device 10 is located in a pipeline 12 for measuring the rate of fluid flowing therethrough. The flow rate measuring device 10 comprises generally an open-ended cylindrical housing 14 with its longitudinal axis substantially coaxial with that of pipeline 12. A screen 16, shown here in a cone-shaped structure, is provided at the upstream end of cylinder 14 for deflecting debris or particles which may adversely affect the accuracy of the device. Cylinder 14 is carried by two cylindrical posts 18 and 20 each extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of cylinder 14 and opposite each other. In this arrangement, posts 18 and 20 are shown extending from cylinder 14 in a vertical direction, and it should be apparent that they may extend in other directions. The end portions of posts 18 and 20 closer to the longitudinal axis of cylindrical housing 14, referred herein as inner ends, are fixed to the body of cylinder 14 by welding or similar means. Outer ends of posts 18 and 20 are similarly fixed to the inner surface of pipeline 12 so that cylinder 14 is stationary relative to pipeline 12. A generally circular, smooth and flat torque detecting member or disc 22 is located inside cylinder 14 and with the face thereof disposed at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of pipeline 12. A shaft 24 or other suitable mounting means, is fixedly secured to the torque detecting member 22. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, shaft 24 extends beyond cylinder 14 and inside posts 18 and 20 while shaft 24 is free of contact with posts 18, 20 and cylinder 14. End portion 26 of shaft 24 is secured to the inner surface of pipeline 12 by welding or other suitable means. The other end 28 of shaft 24 is disposed in a recessed opening 30 defined by the inner surface of pipeline 28 so as to allow shaft 24 and member 22 free to rotate. It should be noted that shaft 24 and member 22 secured thereon may be slightly rotatable relative to cylinder 14, depending on the torsional spring rate of the shaft 24. Shaft 24 generally has a high stiffness torsional spring rate so as to minimize rotational movement of member 22. A torque measuring device 32 is secured to a portion of shaft 24 adjacent the stationary end 26 for detecting the amount of torque generated by the stream of fluid flowing upon the angularly disposed member 22. As best illustrated in FIG. 6, the torque measuring device 32 comprises four tension/compression strain gauges 34, 36, 38 and 40 arranged in a generally X shaped pattern. Each gauge is arranged with its longitudinal axis at approximately 45 degrees from the longitudinal axis of shaft 24 so that any torsional movement of shaft 24 causes a change in the electrical resistance of any two diagonally opposing gauges. The gauges are affixed to the surface of shaft 24 by an industrial grade adhesive or other suitable securing means. The strain gauges 34, 36, 38 and 40 are connected to well-known circuitry (not shown) that converts the change in mechanical torque into a change in electrical resistance. This change in electrical resistance is amplified by the circuitry that has incorporated mathematical factors derived from well-known physical relationships to be described hereinafter. The circuitry is associated with an indicator that visually displays the measurement in unit of flow rate. The physical relationship between the torque generated by the target member 22 and the liquid flow rate may be summarized by the following, with reference to FIG. 3 which shows schematically a plan view of an angularly disposed member 22 in a liquid flow inside conduit 12. Member 22 as represented by its longitudinal axis L--L is disposed at an acute angle θ to the longitudinal axis of conduit 12. The angular disposition of member 22 results in an unequal pressure distribution across the surface of member 22, as demonstrated by the vectors on the upstream surface. A resultant force R of the vectors results in a closing moment about the center of member 22 (a counterclockwise moment in FIG. 3). This moment is commonly known as the fluidynamic torque moment T.sub.M. The torque moment T.sub.M may be expressed by the basic fluidynamic equation: T.sub.M =C.sub.t Where C.sub.t =Coefficient of fluid dynamic torquedimensionless D=Diameter of disc member-linear consistent measure dP=Head Loss-Pressure Loss expressed as force per consistent linear measure squared With water as liquid, pressure drop which is a function of flow velocity may be expressed by Bernouilli equation as: ##EQU1## Where V=Water flow velocity-consistent linear measure per second K=Resistance coefficient of disc-dimensionless G=Gravitational constant-consistent linear measure per second.sup.2 P=Weight density of fluid-weight per consistent linear measurse cubed Therefore, substituting equation (2) into (1) torque moment may be expressed as: ##EQU2## solving for velocity: ##EQU3## The right hand side of equation (6) can be ascertained when values of variables K and C.sub.t are experimentally determined or obtained from fluidynamic handbooks such as Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers by Baumeister and Marks, Published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, New York. For example, a target member of common simple shapes such as circular plate or circular disc disposed at a given angle θ in relation to the direction of flow. Marks ' handbook provides a specific value for K and C.sub.t. G is known gravational constant. Therefore, for a given simple shaped member disposed at a fixed angle θ from the flow in a given fluid, the value K.sub.1 is a numerical constant. Since K.sub.1 is now a known value and signals from strain gauges measuring T.sub.M is imputed to circuitry that takes the square root of such signals, the product of such values provides the right hand side of equation (5), or equally provides an output reading of flow velocity V. Flow rate Q is ascertained by the multiplication of flow velocity V with the cross-sectional area of conduit 12. In operation, water in pipeline 12 flows through cylinder 14 and passes around member 22 having its face disposed at a predetermined angle from the longitudinal axis of pipeline 12. The fluid kinetic energy provides a fluidynamic torque on the member or disc 22 which tends to rotate the face of member 22 to a position perpendicular to the direction of flow. Member 22 is prevented from closing since shaft 24, to which member 22 is secured, is fixed at one end to pipeline 12. A torsional stress results along the shaft portion between the member 22 and the fixed end 26. Torque measuring device 32 is located along this shaft portion to detect the quantity of torque generated. Such torque quantity obtained from torque measuring device 32 is in the form of an electrical signal. The signal is then fed into a well known circuit (not shown), and converted into units of flow rate in accordance with the above established physical relationship and displayed on an indicator. FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. Assembly 10 comprises a cylindrical housing 14 supported by posts 18 and 20. A member or disc 22 is disposed with its face at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of cylinder 14. A shaft 24 extends through posts 18 and 20 with member or disc 22 secured thereon. The outer ends of posts 18 and 20 are affixed to the inner wall of a cylindrical section 42. Screen 16 is provided at the upstream end of cylinder 14 in the same configuration as the first embodiment. Cylindrical section 42 is of sufficient length to accommodate the combined length of cylinder 14 and screen 16. The ends of cylindrical section 42 have flange portions 44 and 46 for connection to mating flanges of a pipeline. Openings 48 are provided along flange portions 44 and 46 to receive securing means such as bolts and nuts (not shown). It should be apparent that the diameter of pipe section 42 may vary depending on the size of pipeline to which it connects. The operation of second embodiment in determining flow rate of the liquid is substantially the same as the operation described in the first embodiment. FIGS. 5 and 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention, wherein an existing valve is modified to operate as a flow rate measuring device as well as a flow control device. Valve 49 as shown is a butterfly valve constructed with a valve body 50 having a valve disc or valve closure member 52 mounted in the flow passage. Valve disc 52 rotates about a diametrical axis substantially upright relative to the longitudinal axis of the valve body. Valve shaft 54 projects through valve disc 52 along its diametrical axis and having disc 52 secured thereon. Shaft 54 extends beyond valve body 50 and an extension bonnet 56. Extension bonnet 56 is releasably mounted to valve body 50 at one end and an actuating mechanism 58 at the other. Actuating mechanism may include such as a gear operator to actuate the opening or closing of valve disc 52. FIG. 7 shows one of several actuating mechanism that provides rotational movement of the valve disc 52 in the flow passage. These mechanisms are of various types and may be operated either manually, hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically. FIG. 7 displays a typical manually operated actuator. Handwheel 60 at one longitudinal end of operator 58 allows a worker to turn an input screw 62 fixedly connected thereto. An output traveling nut 64 is in mesh with the threads of input screw 62 which pivotally connects to one end of arm 66. The other end of arm 62 is secured to valve shaft 54. Output traveling nut 64 is in mesh with input screw 62 such that a rotational movement of input screw 62 translates to a linear movement of output traveling nut 64. Arm 66 translates the linear movement of nut 64 to a rotational movement of valve shaft 54. A gear stop 68 of a structure similar to a nut is provided along input screw 62 so as to limit the length of the path of travel of output gear 64. In FIGS. 5 and 6, torque measuring device 32 of the X-shaped arrangement consisting four strain gauges as described above, is shown affixed to the surface of shaft 54 in the extension bonnet area for the measurement of torque generated by an angularly disposed valve disc 52 in a liquid flow. Torque measuring device 32 provides an electrical signal to a well known circuitry (not shown) which converts units of torque into units of flow rate on an indicator in accordance with the above established physical relationships. In operation, water in pipeline flows through valve body 50 and around a normally open, angularly disposed valve disc 52. Before each torque measurement, handwheel 60 is turned to a fully opened position. Gear stop 68 provides a stop to output gear 64 at a predetermined position along input screw 62 so as to position disc 52 at a selected acute angle of attack θ from the longitudinal axis of conduit 12. Disc 52 is prevented from closing in a fluid flow because of its connection with operator 58. A torsional stress results in the shaft portion in the extension bonnet area. Torque measuring device 32 is located in this shaft portion to detect the quantity of torque generated. Such torque quantity obtained from torque measuring device 32 is detected in the form of electrical signal and fed into a well circuitry (not shown). The signal is then converted into units of flow rate in accordance with the above established physical relationship and displayed on an indicator. In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a fragmentary view of a pipeline showing one embodiment of the flow measuring device of the present invention with parts partially broken away to show underlying details; FIG. 2 is a longitudinal view of the flow measuring device of FIG. 1 along line 2--2; FIG. 3 shows a schematic pattern and plan view of a liquid flowing past an angled torque detecting member inside a pipeline resulting in fluidynamic torque; FIG. 4 is another embodiment of the present invention showing an unitary flow measuring device in a pipe section having flanges at both ends; FIG. 5 is a third embodiment of the present invention showing a perspective view of an existing valve utilized as a flow measuring device; FIG. 6 shows a fragmentary and enlarged view of a disc shaft having torque measuring strain gauges disposed thereon; FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of a valve operator with the cover removed, showing the gear stop on the input gear. 1. Field of Invention The present invention relates to a hydraulic flow rate measuring device and more particularly to a flow meter which determines the rate of flow from the amount of torque generated on a member of the device located in the stream of a flowing hydraulic. 2. Prior Art One known type of flow rate meter is constructed with a suspended and movable target surface exposed to the stream of a flowing liquid. This type of flow rate meter has the disadvantage that during low volume liquid flow, a large percentage of the kinetic energy from the flowing liquid is expended to move the target, thereby rendering an inaccurate reading of the flow rate. Meter constructions sufficiently rugged to handle heavy flow rates, on the other hand, may be lacking in sensitivity to provide an accurate reading of slow liquid flow rates. Furthermore, a movable target exposed to the stream of a flowing liquid is subject to excessive wear so that replacement or maintenance of parts is frequently required. Representative but nonexhaustive of the prior art in the aforementioned type of flow measuring device are U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,600,309 and 3,559,197. Heretofore, flow rate meters have been constructed as separate units including an open ended cylindrical housing providing fluid passage therethrough and in which the target is mounted to measure the flow rate. These units are inserted in a pipeline to measure the flow therein. One embodiment of the present invention provides for a slight modification of an existing flow control valve in a pipeline as for example, a butterfly valve so that it serves as a flow rate measuring device and a flow control valve. By the present invention it is proposed to provide an improved flow rate meter which overcomes the difficulties encountered heretofore. This is accomplished generally by the provision of a flow rate meter including a plate or target mounted in an open ended cylinder through which the fluid flows. The target is mounted in the path of fluid flow so that a torque is created at the mounting means. The torque created by the different rates of flow is measured and converted to corresponding rates of flow. In another embodiment of the invention, the flow meter is constructed as a separate unit including an open-ended cylindrical section having flange portions at its ends so that it is capable to mate with an existing pipeline. An open ended cylindrical housing through which the fluid to be measured flows is secured inside the cylindrical section. A target plate is fixedly disposed in the cylindrical housing with its face at an acute angle relative to the direction of fluid flow. A shaft securing said target plate is subjected to a torque moment when the fluid flows around the angularly disposed target plate. The units of torque are then measured and converted by well known mathematical relationships to determine the rates of flow. In still another embodiment of the invention, an existing valve closure member located in the pipeline through which the fluid flows may be used as the target plate. In this arrangement, the torque created by the valve closure member is measured at the shaft means supporting the valve closure member in the pipeline. The torque measured is translated into the rate of flow by well known mathematical relationships. Referenced by

What you say
Talk. Be prepared to drive the conversation. Too many of us sit and wait to be asked questions. A little small talk starts things off well. It helps you look and feel more comfortable and confident. It's best to pick the weather or something you saw on the way into work (a construction project for example). But make it short and noncontroversial. Your interviewer might have been cheering for the other side last night.
Work your top-sellers. Come up with three points about yourself that you consider your "top sellers." If you are fresh out of school, you may want to select something about your personal qualities, something about your academic achievement, and finally, something about your extracurricular activities. If you have a few jobs under your belt, identify your top qualities as a leader, an innovator, or a hard worker.
Prove your points. I coached a woman who had worked in customer service at a hospital. She told me she liked "helping people." Many people say that. So when I pressed her to give me an example, she told me how she once managed to locate a person who spoke Urdu to translate for a patient who no one could understand. She went above and beyond, and didn't give up when others might have. Little stories always sell big points.
Make it about the employer. Ask not what the job will do for you, but what you can do on the job. Explain why you're a good match for this particular company and industry, and what you can bring to the party.
Do your homework. Check the company website for basic information and for news releases. During the interview, cite specific things about the company that appeal to you, or ask specific questions about new offerings. Do a more general search on the company to see what others are saying about them. By being knowledgeable about the employer, you are proving that you don't just want a job; you want this job.
Anticipate challenging questions.
Know that you will be asked, "What are your weaknesses?" The key here is to identify a challenge briefly, then discuss how you solved the problem. I once interviewed a young job applicant who admitted that she had a hard time allowing a former manager to take all the credit for her work. She wanted the business owner to realize her contribution. Rehearse your answers ahead of time.
How you say it
According to studies, how you say something matters more than what you say. That means your style is at least as important as your substance. To take your style skills up a notch, consider the following.
Show them you'll "bring it." Express your enthusiasm and your willingness to do anything, not just the most interesting stuff.
Smile. It's one of the easiest ways to win people over. Plan to share an appropriate and relevant story that will prompt a smile. All things being equal, people will always choose the person who is most likeable.
Don't rush. Sometimes, nerves make us rush through an answer just to have it over and done with. Slow yourself down and speak in a normal conversational tone that allows your interviewer to hear and understand your answers.
Make sure to have good eye contact. Looking away or down at your hands signals a lack of self confidence.
Dress the part. Dress in the same style as the most conservative people at the business where you are applying for the job. If some are wearing coats and ties while others just coats, add the tie and make sure it is not the one with the neon cartoon figures. The rule for men and women is, "anything that distracts, detracts." You want to appear as though you fit in, so make it part of your due diligence to find out what they are wearing.
Finish off with a handshake. You'd be surprised at the number of people who don't think to end an interview with a "thank you" and a firm handshake, but rather just turn and walk out the door.
A proper exit will leave your potential employer with a positive impression.
Follow-up. Before you leave, ask how and when the interviewer would like you to follow-up. Drop your interviewer a note of thanks letting them know that you appreciated the opportunity and look forward to hearing from them. You'll not only be seen as well-mannered, but you'll also keep your name out there.
Knowing what you're going to say and how to say it will naturally help reduce your "fear factor." But I can also offer some fear-fighting advice gleaned from my 20 plus years as a television reporter and anchor. First, realize that although the butterflies in your stomach may not go away altogether, you can get them to fly in formation. Once you've acknowledged that:
Be well prepared. Research the company. Practice answering those tough questions, or even the basic ones, aloud.
Remember to breathe. Taking a few nice deep breathes before and during the interview will help slow your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and reduce your adrenaline flow.
Take a moment before answering. You don't need to answer a question the millisecond after it's asked. There is nothing wrong with saying, "Let me think about that."
Don't mention you're nervous. Telling your interviewer you're nervous is not likely to reduce anxiety and might leave your interviewer looking for flaws.
Visualize. Visualize yourself in a job where you felt confident and efficient, and try to project that attitude during your interview.
Today's job market may be a bit more challenging than that of a few years ago, but the bottom line is that companies are still looking for bright, assured, and qualified applicants. And that applicant could be you. Just remember to separate yourself from the crowd by communicating with confidence.

Co- sleeping
Your Baby and Sleep in general
Member Name: broxi3781
Your Baby and Sleep in general
Date: 24/10/11
Advantages: A safe, comforting and pleasant way for a child to learn to get a good nights sleep.
Disadvantages: Can be dangerous in some circumstances
After seeing so many reviews on babies and sleep, I felt I finally had to add one myself, in large part because our sleeping arrangements were very different from the norm.
Co- sleeping is not recommended in the UK, because it has been linked to cot death, or SIDS, as you are now meant to call it, the manufacturers of baby cots not liking a fatal syndrome named after their product. I have to admit, I was paranoid of cot death. I had a hard time relaxing as a parent at first after so many losses - so why would I choose a sleeping method linked to infant death?
Quite frankly, because I did quite a lot of research, and while co sleeping in the UK may be linked to an increase in cot deaths - in other countries the studies show the exact opposite. In fact co-sleeping correctly may be one of the best protections available against cot death - but co-sleeping is not for everyone - it requires certain safety checks - not every parent is capable of safely co sleeping, this is a personal decision and you know yourself and sleep patterns better than anyone else.
I think the biggest problem with co sleeping in the UK is that while 50% of families co sleep occasionally, only a very limited number plan to co sleep. Therefore I think every parent should be aware of basic safety issues concerning co sleeping. I also think if your baby is ever going to be in your bed, whether you plan to sleep with the child there or not, the bed should be carefully checked for safety issues. I say this because I think many , if not most parents have unintentionally co-slept before. Having woken up in the middle of the night hunched in an unnatural position over a child's story book, with a child sleeping beside me in their own bed - I know full well how easy it is to fall asleep unintentionally at times.
Co- sleeping makes breast feeding so much easier. Many studies have found mothers who co sleep are more likely to successfully breastfeed, and tend to breastfeed longer. Breastfeeding is not only one of the best defenses for a child against SIDS, but it also protects against later diabetes, childhood cancers, and of course the whole pantheon of childhood ailments.
Sleep - Every parent of a new baby knows what that mind numbing sleep deprivation can do to you. My oldest had some other difficulties that affected his sleep, but once those were sorted, we found co sleeping a perfect way to encourage sleeping at night. With my youngest, there was nothing he liked better then curling up sleeping in bed. I had to wake him at night for feedings and as soon as I stopped waking him after 8 weeks, he slept through the night. Although co-sleeping does not guarantee a baby who sleeps through the night, co-sleeping mothers usually are far better rested, and less tired.
SIDS - James McKenna has demonstrated in laboratory studies that co sleeping infants spend significantly less time in stage 3 sleep, the level of sleep where cot death is most likely to occur. The infants heart rate and breathing are regulated by the parents. McKenna believes this is a natural biological adaptation, as human infants have slept with their parents for almost all of our evolutionary history. Additionally, if anything does go wrong - Mom is right there. My oldest did have some problems with choking on vomit at night, and both boys had a couple of apnea type episodes. Because I was right there, and so closely in tune with the babies I sensed something wrong right away and both resumed breathing without difficulty when lifted up by a panicked Mom! My husband does suffer extreme sleep apnea, and the doctor felt this might be related. McKenna also found co-sleeping infants lest likely to roll over and sleep in a face down position - the most dangerous in terms of SIDS. I know mine always slept on their backs except in extreme illness when they slept help upright.
Repeated studies have found bed sharing to protect against cot death in some countries - and to increase the risk in others. The biggest factors seem to be whether maternal drinking and smoking are the norm or unheard of in those countries, as well as prevalence of breastfeeding.
Stress - stress levels are significantly lower for both mother and infant in co- sleeping pairs.
Independence- Many parents fear co sleeping will make children overly dependent. Most studies show the polar opposite. Children who co slept tended to be more outgoing, more confident and more independent. Judging from my own two - they may perhaps be too independent.
Warmth - This is something no one wants to admit, that they can not afford to heat the house adequately for a new infant. Where I live 50% of parents responded to a survey question by admitting they had brought the children or babies into their beds solely to provide warmth. Heating or lack of it, was a factor in my decision to co sleep. It is far easier to regulate a child's temperature beside you then to try to wrap them enough to withstand freezing nights alone. I do feel this creates another risk factor though, as parents unaccustomed to co sleeping bring a new baby into a bed full of duvets on the coldest nights of the year.
Sleep - some parents can not sleep well with a baby beside them, other parents seem to keep the baby awake tossing and turning.
SIDS - Increased risk of cot death under certain circumstances
Privacy - lack of parental privacy
Often results in Dad sleeping elsewhere.
Entrapment - While America's most famous baby doctor, Dr William Sears cites a dramatic decrease in SIDS for breastfeeding co sleeping infants - he also cites an increase in deaths by entrapment in parents bedding, most commonly the child's head being wedged in adult furniture. While this increase equates to only 10% of the lives saved through lower incidence of SIDS - it is still something that would haunt you for life, and one preventable death is one too many. I feel every parent should make a thorough safety check of their own bed, whether you co sleep or not. Parents should also be aware that a highly disproportionate number of these deaths occur with co sleeping on a sofa, settee, or recliner chair. Of course parents accidentally fall asleep, but every precaution should be taken against sleeping with your infant on the sofa.
* Smokers must not share bed with babies as exposure to residual toxins from cigarette smoke while sleeping increase risk of SIDS.
* It is recommended that Mom always sleep between the father and child, never sleep with baby between you.
* It goes without saying if either partner is drinking, indulging in recreational drugs, or on prescription drugs affecting sleep patterns - co sleeping should be avoided. Keep in mind, a baby used to co sleeping is not going to sleep soundly in a cot when you have had a night out. For the most part - co sleeping requires Mom to give up drinking until the child is old enough for their own bed.
* Some people have extremely deep sleep cycles. If you know world war 3 would not disturb your slumber - if your partner has to wake you because the baby is crying and you don't hear it - co sleeping is not the best option.
* Most co sleeping mothers have a constant awareness of where the baby is. Mine always slept in the crook of my arm. McKenna reports co sleeping mothers repeatedly checking on infants though out the night - with no memory of this the next morning. If my children coughed, choked, stirred, or had any change in breathing pattern, I was instantly aware. Some parents do not feel this though. If I were waking up, not certain where the baby was - I'd have given up co sleeping. I think this is also a reason for accidents in families that do not usually co sleep. They have not built up that awareness required for safe sleep sharing.
* Never ever co sleep just once without a bed safety check.
* Never co-sleep on a sofa or chair.
* If you do not normally co-sleep bringing to baby to bed when the parent is ill or completely exhausted increases risks.
* Current studies recommend co sleeping only for breastfeeding children. No one really knows why co sleeping seems to reduce cot death in breastfeeding infants but may increase it in bottle fed infants - who already have an increased risk. There is some speculation that a hormonal influence may play a part in regulating mothers sleep patterns and over all awareness of the infant.
* Co sleeping is considered unsafe if the mother is overweight.
* No dogs allowed - or cats either. Pets must never be allowed on the bed if a baby will be sleeping in it.
* Perfume should be carefully removed before bed as strong fumes of any kind may affect breathing.
*Avoid co sleeping on overly soft mattresses. If the baby and you roll together - it is too soft.
If you ever bring your child into your bed - even if you have no intention of falling asleep yourself it is worth carefully checking the bed for safety issues. The most common cause of death through furniture is a gap which allows the infants head to be trapped between bed frame and mattress. My own bed has a gap that would pose a serious risk as the mattress slides down leaving a space near the headboard. We corrected this by my husband forcing the mattress all the way to the top and then placing a rolled up duvet between the bottom of the mattress and bed frame to prevent it sliding down. If you can not safely close off all gaps - I would sleep on a mattress on the floor or be sure baby is never on the bed. A gap between the bed and wall is the next most common issue. This needs to be checked every night. Mesh bed guards prevent falls while still allowing a child to breath against them, but again, one needs to check to be sure they do not create a space where the child can be trapped against the mattress. Experts recommend removal of pillows and duvets as well. Be especially aware of soft fluffy pillows, heavy duvets and soft mattress toppers.
Many people use a side car arrangement in which a specially made crib butts right up to the parents bed. This gives the infant their own space, while still being able to touch and be next to Mom.
Another product, known as a Snugglenest folds out to create a small sleeping space within the parents bed for a new infant. This has sturdy sides to prevent a parent rolling onto the baby, as well as a sleep positioner which keeps baby in the correct sleeping position. A small waterproof mattress also reduces accidents for those of us who use cloth nappies as well.
Co sleeping isn't for everyone. However, it worked brilliantly for us. It meant I was able to get a good nights sleep, and my children slept well. I also think it helped a great deal with my youngest who at 3 weeks early had difficulty feeding at first. The fact that I was unable to lift my son after a botched C-section made co sleeping a real lifesaver for us. I can't imagine my boys being any more independent, and I'm glad they have no fears of the dark, and see bed as a comforting pleasant place - although perhaps too comforting judging by the amount of effort it takes to get them out of it in the morning! I do wish more health proffesionals were informed of the benefits of sleep sharing as well, and I think this should be one option for informed parents to consider - without judgement.
Still this is not for anyone - if you are considering co -sleeping I would strongly recommend reading boos such as Dr Sears' 'The Baby Book', 'The Breastfeeding Book' or 'The science of Parenting' by Margot Sunderland ,and doing some research online. I would also recommend against taking baby to bed as a spur of the moment decision, especially under anything less than ideal circumstances. Sleep sharing is a perfectly natural way for infants to sleep, and is safe - but only under the right conditions.
I'll close with a quote from author Jean Liedloff, in her book which sparked the return to attachment parenting, 'The Continuum Concept' :
"The change from the total hospitality of the womb is enormous, but, the infant has come prepared for the great leap from the womb to his place in arms. What he has not come prepared for is a greater leap of any sort, let alone a leap into nothingness, non-life, a basket with cloth in it, or a plastic box without motion, sound, odor, or the feel of life. The infant lives in the eternal now; the infant in arms in a state of bliss; the infant out of arms in a state of longing in the bleakness of an empty universe."
Summary: A no cry sleep solution that worked for us.

Review: | I originally saw one of these installed in a friends OK and immediately knew I had to have one. This bag is perfect for those kayakers that launch/land in the surf, it keeps the battery in its place and doesn't along it to get banged when you get rolled when when/if you get tossed during a surf launch/landing. The first bag that I received came apart at the stitching after one day of use, it appeared to have week stitching, I called ACK and they sent me a new one at no-charge. I'd recommend this bag to anyone regardless of the make or model of your kayak | ||||

Review: | This is a great solution to keep you battery secure. I installed it into an older prowler 15 model and it was a super easy and it works great. I even keep the battery in there when transporting the kayak. Some have said this may not be a good idea in the trident models because it sits under the front hatch towards the cockpit, in the older models, it sits right in the bow, which cradles it, keeping it from bouncing around and breaking the straps. Definitely worth the short money on this. | ||||

STL Co. Police Chief asks FBI to help in Health Dept. investigation
St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch is asking the FBI to help in the investigation of suspicious financial dealings at the county health department. Chief Fitch has asked the FBI to conduct a forensic investigation into the financial records involving former health department administrator Ed Mueth.
County police are trying to determine if Mueth had co-conspirators when he allegedly used a bogus computer company to steal millions of dollars from the county before committing suicide.
Chief Fitch says his department has received hundreds of pages of subpoenaed records and wants to question dozens of people over Mueth's financial dealings.

i love this thread! we just had to cut DS1 hair because of LICE! i couldnt get a comb through it because it is so thick! but now that he is bug free, we are growing it back out. DS2 has never had his cut (he is 20 months) but it is so very thin and wispy still that i think i am going to have to trim aroung the bottom and over the ears once to get the super fuzzy baby hair off. really DS2s hair is more like peach fuzz, with a few long sprigs lol! and its really peach colored too, so its sort of funny!
I LOVE this thread! I just had DS's beautiful long hair cut last week. I will probably let it grow out again if he wants, as he loves his new haircut but tells me he misses all of his hair. ( It was all donated to Locks Of Love )
DS at 2/3 yrs old:
DS in Dec 2010:
DS in Feb 2011:
ShadowMoon your son is absolutely adorable with long and short hair and your pictures made me feel better. The first picture below was taken a few months ago at exactly 2 1/2 years. It was definitely the shaggiest it had gotten and I loved it. DH requested that I trim it after that but it was still skimming his shoulders. Yesterday, I heard that awful silence that means DS is up to something and came in to find him cutting his hair. I actually got lucky that I didn't have to cut it shorter and he now has a little page boy cut.
Bump! Wanna see some more!
we have to keep our son's hair trimmed because it grows so funny. it get REALLY long REALLY quickly in front and then doesn't grow as fast on the sides or back. so, he's constantly annoyed if the hair is flopping down into his eyes. however, i love his little boy look. :)
My kids hair is pretty long and surprisingly stays detangled. We use Aubrey organics on his hair (blue chamomile) and it works really well. I think a dab of jojoba oil would do the trick.
DS just has awesome hair that doesn't snarl or tangle easily. It has a somewhat course texture, but doesn't get ratty. We've lucked out.
Here's another one of Miles who turned 2 in Feb.
Bump... bump.. bump!
Well, DS's hair isn't straight, but it is long and curly.When I wash it in the bath, it's below his shoulders, but it curls up a ton when dry. He's 17 months and hasn't had a haircut yet. (I do trim his bangs when they get long enough that they are in his eyes.)
I just love seeing boys with long hair or hair with personality!
DH, my mom, my MIL, pretty much everyone except one friend of mine is always on my case about cutting his hair. I refuse to get his hair cut right now. Once those curls are cut off, they might never come back.
I just don't get it. He's a baby. I don't understand what the big hurry is to rush him into the barber and get his hair cut super short so he'll look like every other 1 1/2 year old boy in America.
Yes, he gets called a girl by strangers. I don't mind.
Between the long hair, the teething necklace and the girly carriers I wear him in, I totally understand why people think he's a girl. Once he is old enough to decide for himself, I'll happily take him to get his hair cut if that's what he wants. Til then, I suppose everyone around me will need to get over themselves.
Here are a couple of pics from a few weeks ago:
Slicked back and tucked behind his ears.
And the back:
One more:
What a cutie! I LOVE his hair before and now. The page boy cut just makes me melt.
It actually NEVER flips like the first pic, but I like it there:)
I know this is an old conversation, but I've been getting SO much flack about my son's hair, that I just started browsing around for some moral support. I just adore his hair, he doesn't dislike it at all, and he couldn't care less if everyone who doesn't know him refers to him as a girl. I think it is kinda funny because he's probably the most rambunctious, in to trouble 'girl' they've ever seen. He also wears standard issue 'boy clothes', but that really doesn't matter. When he was 2 his head was a curly mass of hair, but now it is longer, past his shoulders, and just curly on the ends. If I cut it he will be curl-less :( I'm not sure I'm ready for that. What do y'all think?
Tobias at 2
And now at 3
I've been thinking of gritting my teeth and trying a little pageboy cut. But I'd rather do nothing. :) P.S. I have 5 kids and he's my baby, so that probably explains why I'm so hesitant to have him 'grow up' in the hair department.
Oops. My photos didn't show up.
Thanks Porcelina :) Because I'm a new member my photos are awaiting approval. Your little guy is a doll! And I don't think he looks feminine at all with the lengthy locks. Not that it matters :)
I'm a new member as of today as I ran across this forum with other moms getting flack ( she she she,,,, why don't you cut his hair?,,,,blah blah blah) from people, everybody in my world, about their boys' hair being long. Well to all those people I say "Give it a rest, your nasty or condescending comments are NOT going to make me run home and cut his hair!" Bravo to all the moms who have the courage to so what they like with their OWN children. My Cole just turned 3 and his hair is very long (past middle of his back), healthy and beautiful, and above all, he LOVES it. Normally I either slick it back, or slick ponytail, or bandana (which is my fave) or his "Plain Geometry" brimless hats.
If/when he wants it short or cut shorter then that's what I'll do (I cut hair). I trimmed it once right before his 2nd birthday, other than that, it just grows. I teach him to always be respectful to everybody, but now I hear him saying to people "Go get your hair cut" or " Leave my hair alone, no haircuts ever"!
My children range from 3yrs. to 28yrs. and the longer you are a mom the less you value other peoples' opinions and value your own more!
Stick to your guns moms and do what you want for your child and what your child wants when they're old enough to choose. I will post pics as soon as I am allowed as a member.

Photos: Spinsters of San Francisco: Fleet of Flight!
On October 8, 2010, the Spinsters of San Francisco kicked off their 81st year with the much anticipated Fleet or Flight party at the internationally-acclaimed supperclub (657 Harrison Street, San Francisco). More than 300 tickets were sold to benefit the non-profit City of Dreams.
Attendees arrived in festive aeronautical and nautical attire to share their support for at-risk youth in the local community while honoring one of San Francisco's most celebrated traditions. True military men and women were welcomed with discounted entrance. Legendary DJ Ms. Jackson had guests moving on the dance floor, after many had dined in supperclub's white beds. The event, which raised thousands of dollars for City of Dreams, was a memorable bookend to San Francisco's annual Fleet Weekend.

Thoughts of suicide can be abundant and frequent for some. These thoughts easily disrupt the lives of not only the suicidal person but the world around said person. It may, however, be possible to tell someone is suicidal before it's too late. Participants of committee on the Pathophysiology and Prevention of Adult and Adolescent Suicide of the Institute of Medicine's held two workshops, Risk Factors for Suicide, March 14, 2001 and Suicide Prevention and Intervention, May 14, 2001, to discuss the topic of suicide. The two workshops were designed to allow invited presenters to share with the committee and other workshop participants their particular expertise in suicide, and to discuss and examine the existing knowledge base.
Risk Factors for Suicide: Summary of a Workshop summarizes the first workshop whose participants were selected to represent the areas of epidemiology and measurement, socio-cultural factors, biologic factors, developmental factors and trauma, and psychologic factors. They were asked to present current and relevant knowledge in each of their expertise areas.

How Julian Edelman might save you money
Since Patriots head coach Bill Belichick inserted Julian Edelman into New England's depleted secondary, the Patriots defense has allowed just 23 points over two games. That's good news for Patriot fans, who had to be a little concerned about their team's chances earlier this season watching their porous defense. Now, it's also good news for skiers and riders.
The improvement comes just in time for Waterville Valley's "Play Hard Pat's Tuesday," when lift tickets will cost the amount of the Patriots' opponent's score. For instance, the Patriots allowed 20 points to the Eagles in yesterday's 38-20 win, so tickets tomorrow at Waterville will be just $20. Too bad the New Hampshire resort wasn't open last Tuesday when the Patriots allowed just 3 points to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Then again, here come the 0-11 Colts. Indianapolis is 30th in the league in scoring, with just 13.6 points per game.
Eric Wilbur is a lifelong recreational skier who spends most of his winter and spring in the mountains of New England. He does not ski in jeans. You can read more of Eric's work here.
Heather Burke is an award winning ski journalist with over a decade of ski news coverage. As a former ski instructor and a ski parent, she knows the ski biz from the inside out. She and her family visit New England ski resorts, as well as the West and Canada, to report on the latest trends and their best family finds. Her husband Greg takes all the accompanying photos, and their work can be seen at www.familyskitrips.com and www.luxuryskitrips.com.

Probiotics are a source of good bacteria which alter the intestinal microflora balance and support digestion and immune balance.They also prevent or reduce the growth of harmful bacteria.
The lactobacillus and bifidobacteria help to maintain a healthy intestinal flora through the production of certain organic compounds such as lactic acid, acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide.These compounds alter the pH by increasing the acidity of the intestine and inhibit reproduction of harmful bacteria.
Probiotic bacteria also produce bacteriocins which help by killing undesireable organisms.
The dose required for these organisms is dependant upon the amount of friendly bacterial depletion and the presence of harmful bacteria.
Normally 1 to 2 billion colony forming units (CFU's) is considered to be the minimum dose for maintenance of a healthy intestine .
Probiotics are present in some yoghurts to a varying degree, but not to the same extent as you obtains from supplementation with probiotics.Many frozen yoghurts do not contain any or have very little live bacteria.

USA Track & Field (USATF) offers two optional insurance programs for their member clubs: Directors & Officers Liability (Not For Profit) which can be purchased online 24/7 and a Business Owners Policy (BOP) for USATF Race Directors. Learn more about these exclusive member benefits by visiting the appropriate link below.
USATF Club Directors & Officers Liability Insurance (Not For Profit)
Directors and Officers Liability (D&O) insurance is offered on a voluntary basis to all non-profit USATF member clubs meeting the program eligibility requirements. This important coverage is not the same as General Liability as it does not include coverage for bodily injury claims. D&O insurance protects club directors & officers from personal liability associated with their wrongful acts, errors, and omissions in the performance of duties for the Club. Typical D&O claims often allege mismanagement of funds and negligent decisions affecting club members, participants, coaches, officials and others. The policy also provides Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverage for claims alleging harassment, discrimination or wrongful termination.
Click here to view a summary of USA Track & Field Directors & Officers Liability program.
To purchase coverage, please create an account and then proceed with the online application process.
USATF Event Director Business Owners Policy (BOP) Program
USA Track & Field provides this important coverage as a benefit to their race directors. The USA Track & Field BOP Program offers General Liability, Auto Liability, and Property coverage to event directors for their day to day business operations. The General Liability policy provides liability protection for claims brought by third parties alleging bodily injury, property damage, and personal or advertising injury in connection with covered activities. This program is NOT intended to be event insurance. Coverage for events must be sanctioned by the national governing body. This program is NOT intended to be event insurance. Coverage for events must be insured separately.
