Welcome back to Multiplex Retro, the place to revisit those films that you love or those that you hate. I'm still looking for suggestions so if you've got an old film you want to tell the world about because you love it so much or warn people off because it's really that bad, please leave me a comment and I'll add it to the list.
Based on Benjamin Mee's autobiography, We Bought a Zoo traces the adventure that his family embarked on when he bought and renovated the ailing Dartmoor Wildlife Park. Given the Hollywood makeover, the film transports the story from Devon to California, with Matt Damon taking on the role of grieving widower who moves his family to a new home in the countryside which is itself home to a full-fledged zoo. In a move that is part mid-life crisis and part attempt to start anew, Benjamin sets out to revive and re-open the zoo with the help of Head Zookeeper Kelly Foster (Scarlett Johansson), ultimately hoping that the experience will bring his family closer together.
From the recent onslaught of found-footage films, it can be far too tempting to simply ignore the genre's latest offerings. Though some gems continue to be found, The Devil Inside is proof once more that some footage should forever remain lost. Labelling itself as the film the Vatican does not want you to see (and, in case there was any confusion, the audience is duly informed that the Vatican did not endorse it or aid in its completion), The Devil Inside begins with a 911 emergency call from one Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley), who confesses to the dispatcher that she has just slaughtered three people. Police footage from the crime scene then flickers on and we are given a tour of the brutal massacre. Just as it is established that the victims were all priests, and that one person had escaped from being strapped to a chair, the film delivers its first of many lacklustre 'BOO' moments.
An aspiring teen detective stumbles into her first real case, when investigating the mysterious new family in her neighborhood.
Dean and Sal are the portrait of the Beat Generation. Their search for "It" results in a fast paced, energetic roller coaster ride with highs and lows throughout the U.S.
Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin in the woods, where they get more than they bargained for. Together, they must discover the truth behind the cabin in the woods.
Agent J travels in time to MIB's early years in the 1960s, to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history.

BLAIR - In 1992, when Arch Coal Inc. bought a huge Logan County mountaintop removal mine, company officials decided upon a plan to buy out nearby residents so there would be no one left to complain about blasting, dust and flyrock.
Arch Coal land agents required Blair residents who wanted the company to buy their property to sign agreements that they would never again protest a strip mine. Residents who wanted the company to buy them out were also required to promise not to live or buy property in the area where Arch Coal operates mines.
Earlier this year, Arch Coal officials described these plans in sworn statements made as part of a lawsuit filed against Arch Coal by a family who once lived in the shadow of the Dal-Tex mountaintop removal mine.
"It is easier to mine coal without people around," Arch Coal land agent Terence Irons testified in his March legal deposition. "Because it's been our experience that people don't enjoy living close to mining operations." Since 1993, land holding companies associated with Arch Coal bought the homes of roughly 200 families who once lived in Blair, according to public land transaction records, court documents, media reports and interviews.
Blair residents who wanted to sell and move to escape the mine were given a take-it-or-leave-it deal by the company: Agree to Arch Coal's terms, or the company won't buy your property, company officials said.
Ken Woodring, an Arch Coal vice president, testified that, "In a situation where we are acquiring someone's property, particularly in a case where they perceive that our mining operation is causing an inconvenience for them, we felt for the long-term benefit of both parties, it's better that they not relocate into the area which they are leaving.
"If they're leaving because of a perceived inconvenience that's perceived as having been caused by the mining operation, we don't feel either party is benefiting if they don't relocate their residence," Woodring said during a July deposition.
Today, Arch Coal is conducting a massive public relations campaign to promote itself as a good corporate neighbor to the communities where it operates.
"Responsible mountaintop mining: It's good for West Virginia, and it's the right thing to do," the company proclaims in full-page newspaper ads published across the state.
In brochures mailed to thousands of residents, Arch Coal President Steven F. Leer said, "We are committed to being a good neighbor and a positive force in the communities where we operate.
"We are constantly seeking new ways to lessen any adverse impacts our operations may have on surrounding communities. Our miners live near these operations and value their mountain heritage." Moving the Moores Tommy and Victoria Moore lived in Blair for six years. By October 1996, they got tired of mine blasts that rattled windows and shook their home. Dust from the mine severely aggravated their son's asthma.
"If you were inside, it interrupted your life. It you were outside, it interrupted your life," Victoria Moore said in a sworn statement this summer.
"I couldn't sit on my porch without getting dust on me," Moore said.
"I couldn't even walk in my grass. I couldn't get in my car. I couldn't even let my kids go out and play without the dust." The Moores moved, but they didn't sell their property to Arch Coal.
Instead, they sued the company. West Virginia University law professor Patrick McGinley, Morgantown lawyer Suzanne Weise, and Athens, Ohio, environmental lawyer Robert Shostak took the Moores' case.
In September 1997, the lawyers filed a complaint on the Moores' behalf in Logan County Circuit Court. The complaint alleged that Arch Coal subsidiary Hobet Mining Inc. operated noisy and dirty heavy equipment around the clock, set off explosions that rocked the foundations of homes and blew unhealthy amounts of dust into the community.
In March, June and July 1998, McGinley and Weise took sworn statements from more than a dozen Arch Coal employees. In preparation for trial, lawyers interview people involved under oath. They use these sworn statements to sort out the facts of a case. Unlike a trial, depositions do not include cross-examination of witnesses by the other side.
In law offices in Charleston and St. Louis, where Arch Coal is headquartered, McGinley and Weise interviewed company executives, managers, land agents and technical staffers. Among other things, company officials acknowledged that: - They knew dynamite blasts and huge earth-moving machines used to mine coal at Dal-Tex would make life so miserable for many Blair residents that they would want to sell their homes and move.
- Company officials made no serious effort to scale down the mine so it would not intrude upon the lives of Blair residents. Minor steps the company did take never worked.
- Company executives decided on a plan to buy out anyone who complained about the mine.
- Anyone who wanted Arch Coal to buy their property had to sign an agreement to never again protest a strip mine. Anyone who signed the agreement also pledged never to live or own property in a 25-square-mile region around Arch Coal's Logan County mining complex.
In late July, the Moores' lawyers asked Logan Circuit Judge Eric O'Briant to add Ark Land Co. and Allegheny Land Co., affiliates of Arch Coal, to the suit as defendants. They asked the judge to add to the suit claims of civil conspiracy, civil fraud, and public nuisance.
The three companies "conspired with each other to operate and implement what they have identified as a 'target property acquisition' program which was intended to force and coerce [the Moores] and other families residing near the Dal-Tex complex to move forever' from their homes in the Blair area." With their request, the lawyers included portions of the company's depositions with their motion to amend the complaint, filed as a public record in the Logan County Courthouse. At the Moores' request, their lawyers provided copies of the depositions to the Sunday Gazette-Mail in July and August.
On Sept. 1, Arch Coal lawyers settled the case. The company paid the Moores $225,000 to drop their suit, according to a seven-page settlement agreement on file in Logan.
The Moores must use part of the money to pay their lawyers, expert witnesses and other legal costs. An estimate of those costs was not available. The Moores and their lawyers declined comment on the case and settlement.
Of the $225,000 paid by the company, Arch Coal paid $35,000 to the Moores for their three-quarter-acre lot in Blair and the mobile home that sat on it, according to the settlement agreement. Also, $10,000 will be set aside for each of the Moores' children, Dustin and Levi, according to the agreement.
David Todd, a vice president and press spokesman for Arch Coal, said he could not comment on the settlement.
The settlement document states that "the parties agree to keep the terms of this settlement agreement confidential and shall not discuss or release the terms unless required to do so by order of a court." In an interview last week, Todd acknowledged that Arch Coal had tried to buy out many Blair residents.
"Our philosophy is not to impact people," Todd said. "And if there are no people to impact, that is consistent with our philosophy." Historic Blair Mountain In September 1921, coal miners marching south to help unionize Mingo County's coalfields clashed with sheriff's deputies and U.S. Army troops on Blair Mountain, in what is believed to have been the largest armed confrontation in labor history.
Blair Mountain is now home to the nation's fourth largest mining complex. Last year, Arch Coal's Hobet Mining arm produced more than 6 million tons of coal at Dal-Tex. Four hundred United Mine Workers are employed there.
In April 1992, Huntington-based Ashland Coal Inc. bought Dal-Tex Coal Corp. In July 1997, Ashland Coal merged with Arch Mineral Corp. to form Arch Coal Inc.
Ashland Coal officials immediately began to expand the mine, according to financial disclosures the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. They spent millions of dollars on bigger shovels, loaders and trucks. In 1993, Dal-Tex started operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The extended hours were expected to add 1 million tons a year of coal production.
Even before the mine expanded, neighbors had complained that it was a nuisance.
In 1991, The Charleston Gazette published a story about a group of residents who protested that the mine interfered with their lives.

So are they going to cancel all the orders? Or are they just gonna sit on our money till we complain EVEN more?. Im ok with waiting if the item actually is gonna show up at some point, I will admit its a pretty good deal; if not this is fraud/theft and the appropriate measures need to be taken. I paid with paypal so i should be able to get my money back but retailers shouldn't be allowed to get away with shady techniques like this. WE should all post on the BBB.
EDIT keep your swagbucks as an apology? 100 swagbucks is worth = $1.00. A dollar for all this trouble! Thats an insult if ive ever heard one. Last edited by rewdey; 02-26-2013 at 09:55 AM.. |
This is in response to someone's complaint on FB "Hi G***,I am so sorry but from what we know the shipments were sent in 2 waves. The second shipment was unable to be filled and refunds are being issued. Please send an email to email@example.com if you have not done so already for more information."
So what I'm dying to know is, do you have to ask for your OWN refund? I m kinda half tempted to see how long they will keep my money before they tell me the item is not available.Or will they bother at all and hope i forget? Thus fleecing me out of a hundred bucks? I looked at their BBB rating and the owner of froobi seems to have made the buyers filing complaints look like idiots because they didn't follow froobi policy. |

If you haven't checked out the Laure Drogoul retrospective (Follies, Predicaments, and Other Conundrums) at MICA, you have a few more days. It's a fascinating, whimsical, absurd, and sprawling show, one that speaks to the free-wheeling creative spirit that flourishes in this city. Over the past two decades, Drogoul has been an integral part of that scene. Her Fugue Chamber for Amnesiacs and Olfactory Factory make lasting impressions, like all of the work on display. In fact, my children still talk about spotting the huge devil head she installed on the lawn at Evergreen House. And that was five years ago! Hats off to Curator Gerald Ross for conceiving of and putting together such an ambitious and important show.

By a 5-0 vote, the commissioners passed a resolution asking U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows and U.S. Sens. Kay Hagan and Richard Burr to push for a waiver relieving the county from paying $89,200 in federally mandated "reinsurance" fees that begin next year.

DigiDrummer Lite
DigiDrummer Lite is a free, simple drum simulator that lets you play eight different drums in a reasonably spaced, four-by-two grid using your touch screen. As with most musical instrument-emulator apps, the sound (using actual drum samples) is considerably better while using headphones or external speakers with subtle, fairly high-quality audio--although iPhone headphones are probably up to this free app's most likely use: namely, killing time and/or entertaining kids. More serious musicians should also check out the paid version of DigiDrummer and other similar apps, to get access to different drum sets, the ability to record, and more. … Read more

► ASOs suppress huntingtin throughout the rodent and nonhuman primate CNS ► ASO therapy reverses disease, prevents brain loss, and promotes survival in HD models ► ASO-mediated disease reversal persists for longer than huntingtin suppression ► Suppression of mutant huntingtin reverses disease independent of wild-type levels
The primary cause of Huntington's disease (HD) is expression of huntingtin with a polyglutamine expansion. Despite an absence of consensus on the mechanism(s) of toxicity, diminishing the synthesis of mutant huntingtin will abate toxicity if delivered to the key affected cells. With antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that catalyze RNase H-mediated degradation of huntingtin mRNA, we demonstrate that transient infusion into the cerebrospinal fluid of symptomatic HD mouse models not only delays disease progression but mediates a sustained reversal of disease phenotype that persists longer than the huntingtin knockdown. Reduction of wild-type huntingtin, along with mutant huntingtin, produces the same sustained disease reversal. Similar ASO infusion into nonhuman primates is shown to effectively lower huntingtin in many brain regions targeted by HD pathology. Rather than requiring continuous treatment, our findings establish a therapeutic strategy for sustained HD disease reversal produced by transient ASO-mediated diminution of huntingtin synthesis.

Cebado Barcelona uses the B Spa Bar name to market the Groupon deal & to try to make the place sound like a proper spa (or a chic-chic bar, ha!). But to my disappointment, I went and found a basic walk-in hair salon, similar to a Supercuts. The massage took place in a dingy back room, talk about shady. The pictures for B Spa Bar on the Groupon deal were not of the actual place where you will go for a massage. Yes they have small print telling you where to go, which was a totally different store location. That was my first warning sign this Groupon deal was not what it was cracked up to be. Talk about deceptive marketing. I much rather them be upfront so I know what exactly I'm paying for. The name "Beauty Room" is a scam, it was a small back room that was hot and had no amenities what so ever. I felt anything but beautiful being in there. Be aware, there are no comforts of what you'd expect from a "spa" or a "bar" for that matter. No showers, no robes & slippers, no towels, no floor mat for your bare feet, no drinks or even a glass of water. The hair dryers and noise from the salon did not make for a relaxing experience. The "soothing" music for my massage was anything but, the stereo kept skipping repeating & the masseuse kept interrupting my massage to go fix it. The massage focused on my arms & legs way too long, with minimal time on my back which was poorly massaged in the last 10 minutes of the hour. A properly trained masseuse would've focus on my back first & and spend most of the appointment working on this body part. The cheap sheets looked dirty and did not look like they were changed after each customer. They couldn't even invest in a proper coverlet/blanket. The blanket was a natty brown furry thing that felt itchy on my skin. It was gross. For the price of this Groupon deal, I would've much rather have gone to any NYC Korean nail salon & have one of those random guys massage me on those chairs. At least there, I will know what I'm paying for, no scams, no smoke & mirrors. In a nutshell, you just strip down to get a horrible massage and get dressed with massage lotion all over your body when the massage is over. It's a shame. I'm a strong believer that capitalism thrives. Businesses like this one won't last long. It's just sad they sold this deal to 700+ unsuspecting customers. Hopefully they read this before going.
No more FRIZZIESSSSSSSS – Unfortunately I have very thin, broken hair and with the humidity it looks really ugly frizzy:( I was recommended to try the Pravana Perfection smooth out and I am so happy that I did. Not only is my hair frizzless but it looks like I have more of it:))) And I don't have to use a gazillion products…Thank you guys for being so awesome. I love it and you saved my summer;)
AWFUL – I got my hair blown out here before I went wedding dress shopping and it was amazing. I think Carmen did it. I was excited to have a cheap place to get my hair blown out in the neighborhood. i decided to get my hair done before a wedding here since I had such a great experience the first time. BIG mistake. I had Alessandro (I think that is his name) and he was awful. I wanted a simple bun with a middle part. He just didn't like that idea and thought it was boring and did not care at all what I wanted and went on to do what he wanted without asking me. At the end, my friends said it looked like i literally had worms in my hair it was so ugly! My only request was my hair style last all night through dancing and 2 blocks from the salon my hair fell apart. when i went back to get it fixed and asked to just please make it a normal bun like i originally wanted he blamed me and refused to do it. another girl in the salon had to step in. he should be fired! they don't care about customer service at all and were completely insulting! he just loves himself and do what he wants to do. you get what you pay for I guess. go elsewhere!
Go with Alessandro! – I had my hair cut by Alesandro about a month ago. He was really great. I have a pretty set hairstyle, but I will say it's hard to accomplish. My hair is naturally light with darker tones underneath the top layer, which--if cut right--results in a what look like very expensive highlights. I also have very straight, very fine hair and a LOT of it, which makes thinning (without compromising the light top layer) a must. In other words, you have to know what you're doing.
I can say, even though it wasn't 110% what I wanted--probably because I wasn't vocal enough (tall, dark, handsomes with Antonio Banderas accents massaging your scalp will do that to ya)--it was really close. I plan to go back for a maintenance cut in a few weeks (as one must with short short hair) and hope to push it toward the exact place I want to get it this time. I haven't felt confident that a hairdresser could do that, actually, in a while. But, Alessandro knows what he's doing, and I'm really glad to have found him.
As for the rest of the salon, it's a nice atmosphere, easy location to access, and everyone working there is generally professional and tries to be welcoming. One gentleman at the desk disconcerted me--a bit too pushy, but tried to be nice, I guess--but the woman I ended up dealing with at the end was great.
RUINED MY HAIR – This salon is AWFUL!!!!! They ruined my Brazilian straightening. I went in for a simple half up do and specifically told the stylist SEVERAL times that I have Brazilian straightening and he needed to use shampoo that was safe for my treatment. He did not listen. When I called to complain later after I had washed my hair and realized my curls were coming back the salon tried to say the salon where I got the straightening didn't do it right. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. He also tried to cut a piece of my hair because he didn't like the way it was laying. He also kept trying to make a crazy up do which I kept saying no to and then tried to charge me double what he originally said. BEWARE!!!

Within the framework of implementation of pharmaceutical regulation and in order to ensure that medicines fulfill the quality standards established at the global level, improving the availability of effective, safe, and quality medicines, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is conducting technical cooperation projects in accordance with the mandates received from its governing bodies and based on the guidelines of the World Health Organization.
Technical Cooperation
Strengthening of regulatory systems for medicines
One of the strategic objectives of the Medicines and Technologies Area of PAHO is to offer support to the national regulatory authorities (NRAs) that allows the member countries to develop, implement, and strengthen activities related to regulation of medicines, including vaccines and other biologicals. All of the activities conducted in order to achieve this objective are shown in this section.
Evaluation of National Drug Regulatory Authorities (NRAs)
The main objective of regulation is to guarantee the safety, efficacy, and quality of the medicines available to the population. Thus, the effectiveness of regulation should be judged in terms of the extent to which regulatory functions meet this goal. It is therefore essential to know how to measure effectiveness. One way is to relate it to the end results of each regulatory function and develop measurements that capture regulatory performance.
In 2006, as part of the strengthening of regulatory agencies, the national regulatory authorities in some countries proposed the development of a system for evaluating and qualifying NRAs that would be coordinated by the Pan American Health Organization. Such a system would facilitate and create the optimal conditions for setting up mechanisms to cooperate with other regulatory authorities in the Region and making progress toward potential interinstitutional recognition, with the consequent optimization of human and financial resources.
Evaluation of Essential Medicines, Vaccines, and Biologicals in Support of the Strategic Fund
This section details the technical support procedures and activities adopted by PAHO's Essential Medicines and Health Technologies Area for the procurement of essential medicines, vaccines and other biologicals through the Strategic Fund, including a description, based on rigorous, transparent, and participatory processes, of the technical evaluation conducted, the basic standards and specifications established, and the monitoring of the quality and safety of products used by the member countries.
Pan American Network of Official Medicines Control Laboratories
The Official Medicines Control Laboratories (OMCL), in their status as entities assigned to the regulatory authorities, have been included in PANDRH since June 2005. At that time the Working Group on Good Laboratory Practice (WG/GLP) was created by recommendation of the Fourth Conference. The OMCLs work in a network system under the coordination of the Working Group on Good Laboratory Practice.
External quality control program of official laboratories for control of medicines
This is a control program to evaluate the performance of the official laboratories for control of medicines developed by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) since December 2001, with the assistance of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
Regional Network of National Vaccine Quality Control Laboratories (RRLNCCV)
This cooperation initiative was launched by PAHO's Regional Vaccine System (SIREVA). The initiative's objectives included the development of a framework for action that would make it possible to set up a system for guaranteeing the quality of the vaccines used in the Region of the Americas, with testing by the national quality control laboratories as an essential part of the system. This section reviews the history, objectives, and results of this network.
Pan American Network for Drug Regulatory Harmonization (PANDRH Network)
This hemispheric forum has been engaged in technical activities. Its main objective is to support the harmonization processes by examining specific areas and issuing recommendations on priority matters as well as the harmonized guidelines proposed by the working groups created by this Conference. PAHO serves as the network's secretariat and has designed this space to detail all the activities of the PANDRH Network.

MA Science, Society and Development
Sustainability is one of the key issues facing a world with an increasing population and environmental change. This MA looks at Sustainability and Development, focussing on the key areas of environment, agriculture and health.
Students are invited to address complex policy issues including water and sanitation, epidemic disease, the African Green Revolution, biodiversity and genetically modified crops.
What makes this course unique is its emphasis on the ways that politics permeates policy processes at all levels, and plays out through competing framings, narratives, knowledges and networks. Starting with a solid grounding in development studies and society-science-technology relations, the programme then puts the dynamics of policy processes at centre stage.

And just to make sure no viewer fails to get the message, the network is even adding special Civil War-themed episodes of series such as "Pawn Stars" and "American Pickers." I could care less. History Channel is no longer History Channel, and these two are two shows that pretty much prove that. History International has basically become what was once History Channel. More apt to get shows on the Civil War on History International now it seems than on History Channel. Need to get rid of American Pickers, Pawn Stars, Ice Road Truckers, and a whole slew of others and return History Channel to what it once was. And loose the slogan of "History Made Every Day." I don't disagree that history is made everyday. Heck, already as I type what I typed seconds before is in the past. But History Channel was not supposed to be about whats going on today or into the future (Life After Humans anyone?), it was supposed to be about the past. I'd be more accepting of American Pickers and Pawn Stars if they spent much more time actually discussing the history of items their exhibiting on the show, but for my taste they don't.

Sarasota city commissioners reaffirmed Monday their commitment to bayfront connectivity.
They voted unanimously to back the city's connectivity plan, beginning with two U.S. 41 roundabouts at 14th Street and 10th Street.
"We're not just trying to get people across the street," said project manager Steve Stancel. "We're trying to change the character of U.S. 41."
Changing the character calls for slowing traffic, narrowing the lanes on the roadway, widening the medians and landscaping them and building six roundabouts.
Commissioners wanted to build the first two roundabouts north of downtown for several reasons: the money to build them, $5.9 million, is already available; they can get drivers used to roundabouts before the other four are built; drivers will be more likely to use 10th Street to access downtown via Lemon Avenue; and pedestrians at 14th Street will have a safer way to cross the street
"We've been on a 12-year quest to get a safer situation at 14th Street," said Steve Roskamp, a partner of Sarasota Bay Club, whose employees park across U.S. 41.
Those first two roundabouts could be complete in three years.

- The roundabout proponents are idiots. They sound like the same idiots trying to ram down socialized medicine down our throats. Has anyone ever seen throngs of people waiting to cross US 41? I haven't. If we ever do get more than a handful, maybe the traffic lights could be made a little longer. Otherwise, it's a waste of money and a waste of driver's time.

It takes time and thought to feed infants and children, and all parents should think carefully about what their children eat. The years from birth to adolescence are when eating habits are set, when growth rates are high, and to a large extent when the size of stores of essential nutrients such as calcium are determined. This article will examine the health benefits of vegan diets for children, address potential concerns, present information on key nutrients and provide guidelines for feeding vegan infants and children.The number of vegans in the UK today is estimated at 0.5%(1) but we do not know how many of these are children. In the US, a poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group in the year 2000 found that about 0.5% of 6 to 17-year-olds were vegan and did not eat meat, fish, poultry, dairy products or eggs (2).
Several studies have examined the nutrient intakes of vegan children. One study of British school-age children found that they had higher intakes of fibre and that intakes of all vitamins and minerals studied (with the exception of calcium) were comparable with those of meat-eating children (3). Vegan pre-schoolers in the US were found to have generous intakes of protein, vitamins, and minerals and their diets exceeded recommended intakes for all nutrients studied with the exception of calcium (4). The study showing lower calcium intakes by vegan pre-schoolers was conducted before calcium-fortified products were readily available, so calcium intakes of vegan children may be higher now. Calcium is important for bone development. Around 45% of adult bone mass is accrued before 8 years of age, another 45% is added between 8-16 years of age and a further 10% accumulates in the next decade. Given the importance of calcium intake during childhood, all parents should ensure that their children's diets contain calcium-rich foods and meet current recommendations for calcium for their age group.Regrettably, there have been few recent studies looking at the long-term effects of a vegan diet*, especially as it is believed that the foundations for many chronic diseases of adulthood have their beginnings in childhood. For instance, processes initiating atherosclerosis and high blood pressure are thought to start very early in life, and blood pressure and cholesterol levels have been shown to track from early childhood and to be related to childhood nutrient intakes (5,6). Body mass also tracks from early childhood, with obese children being at an increased risk of obesity in adulthood (7)When we look at potential long-term health benefits of vegan diets, we find that vegan children have higher intakes of fruits and vegetables, foods that are important for health. Vegan children have been shown to have lower intakes of fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol than non-vegetarian children (9-10). This may be important in reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and obesity. Finally, vegan diets may introduce children to a greater variety of whole plant foods, thus establishing healthful lifelong eating habits.
Up to the age of four to six months, the diets of many infants of vegan and of non-vegan parents are identical. The perfect food for the young infant is breast milk and supplementary foods should not be introduced until after four to six months of age. Breast-fed infants of well nourished vegan women tend to grow and develop normally(11). The infant receives many benefits from breast feeding, including some immune system enhancement, protection against infection, and reduced risk of allergies(12). Moreover, as human breast milk is the natural food for baby humans it also probably contains substances needed by growing infants which are not even known to be essential and are not included in infant formulas. Meanwhile, nursing mothers derive benefits such as reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer, release of stress-relieving hormones and, for some, sheer convenience (12). For all these reasons, we strongly encourage breast feeding.Vitamin B12 and vitamin D are key nutrients for a young infant being exclusively breast fed by a vegan woman. Mothers whose diets contain little or no vitamin B12 will produce milk with very low levels of vitamin B12 (13). As this vitamin is important for the developing nervous system, it is crucial for the infant to have a reliable source of vitamin B12. Some vegan women opt to use a vitamin B12 supplement while others rely on fortified foods such as some breakfast cereals, fortified yeast extracts, non-dairy milks and some soya products in order to meet both their own and their baby's need for vitamin B12. If the mother's diet does not contain a reliable daily source of vitamin B12, the child itself should receive a daily source of vitamin B12. The vitamin D content of breast milk varies with the mother's diet and her sun exposure, although vitamin D levels in breast milk are usually quite low. All children below three years of age have a high requirement for vitamin D to enable calcium deposition in bone. The Department of Health therefore recommends that vitamin drops containing vitamins A, C and D be used for all children from 6 months to 5 years of age, whether vegan, vegetarian or omnivore. [Note that Healthy Start vitamin drops for children and Health Start vitamins for women contain vitamin D3 and are not suitable for vegans.]Readers may also have heard of docosahexaenoic acid or DHA, a fatty acid which appears to be important for eye and brain development and is found primarily in animal foods. However, vegans can make DHA from another fatty acid called alpha-linolenic acid, which will be contained in the breast milk if the mother's diet includes good sources such as flaxseed oil, ground flaxseed and rapeseed oil. Reducing the use of other oils such as corn oil, sunflower oil, and safflower oil and limiting foods containing hydrogenated fats will also help the breast fed infant to make more DHA. These oils contain linoleic acid and hydrogenated fats contain trans-fatty acids which interfere with DHA production.Unfortunately there is currently no infant formula available which is suitable for vegans. There are soya formulas on the market, but these are not vegan as they are fortified with vitamin D3, which is made from lanolin (a grease produced by sheep's skin and extracted from their wool). The vegan-suitable formula which was previously available, Heinz Nurture Soya (formerly Farley's Soya), is no longer manufactured as Heinz no longer produce any infant formulas. On no account should soya milk, nut milk, rice milk, oat milk, pea milk or other home-prepared "formulas" be used as these do not contain the appropriate ratio of nutrients and can lead to potentially life-threatening conditions.
Solid foods should not be introduced before 4 months of age. Try to introduce one new food at a time, waiting 2 to 3 days before trying another. It is then easier to identify which food is responsible if any untoward reaction occurs. First weaning foods may include rice based dishes, pureed and sieved fruits such as banana, pear and apple, and vegetables such as carrot, potato and spinach. At 6 months of age, wheat and oat based cereals can be introduced. Foods containing generous amounts of protein such as mashed cooked pulses, mashed tofu and soya yogurt are generally introduced at around 7 to 8 months of age. Children should progress from mashed or pureed foods to pieces of soft food. Smooth nut and seed butters spread on bread or crackers can be introduced after the first birthday. In an atopic family, where there is a history of allergies, peanuts and nuts should be avoided until the child is at least 3 years of age (14) to allow the gut to mature and the immune system to develop fully. As solid foods become a larger part of the diet, consideration should be given to foods which provide concentrated sources of calories and nutrients. These include mashed firm tofu, bean spreads, mashed avocado and cooked dried fruits. Frequent meals and snacks help to ensure adequate energy intakes. The fat intake of healthy infants should not be restricted, and sources such as vegetable oils or soft vegan margarine should be included in the older infant's diet.To minimize the risk of choking, foods such as whole nuts, crunchy nut butters, vegan hot dogs, large chunks of hard raw fruits and vegetables, whole grapes, hard sweets, and popcorn should not be fed to infants and children younger than 3. However, chopping the nuts, slicing the hot dogs and halving the grapes can reduce the risk and allow such foods to be eaten by toddlers age 1-3 years. Corn syrup and honey (the latter is always avoided by vegans in the UK anyway) should not be given to infants younger than one year because of the risk of botulism, a form of food poisoning. A note on nuts. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend any sort of nut butters for children under 3 years. In families where there is a history of allergy, eczema or asthma, it is recommended that peanuts and peanut products be delayed until the child is at least 3 years old. Other children may have peanuts and tree nuts of a suitable texture, such as smooth nut butter, from the age of 6 months or when weaned, but not before 4 months. In the UK, it is recommended that peanuts be avoided by pregnant or breastfeeding women if there is a history of allergies. It is suggested that women who are atopic, or where the father or any sibling has atopic disease, may wish to avoid peanuts in their diet to reduce the risk of their children developing peanut allergy, but this is simply precautionary as there has been no conclusive evidence.Many parents choose to use commercially prepared baby foods and there are some products suitable for vegan infants, though careful label reading is recommended. As there is only a limited selection of commercial products for the older vegan infant, many parents opt to prepare their own baby foods. Foods should be well washed, cooked thoroughly and blended or mashed to an appropriate consistency. Home prepared foods can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen in small quantities for later use. By 6 months of age, iron stores in omnivorous, vegetarian and vegan infants will become depleted and it is important that iron-rich foods are included in the diet. Iron-fortified infant cereals are a good way to supply iron to vegan infants Other good sources include whole grains, pulses, green leafy vegetables and dried fruits. To enhance iron absorption, add a source of vitamin C such as green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, blackcurrants or orange juice to the meal. For the non-vegan child, cow's milk is typically introduced around age 1 year. Commercial fortified non-dairy milks can be added to the diet of vegan toddlers around the same age provided that the child is growing normally, has an appropriate weight and height for age, and is eating a variety of foods including soya products, pulses, grains, fruits and vegetables. For children with slower growth who have been weaned from breast milk, ensure that the diet is energy dense by adding some healthful oils such as olive or rapeseed oil. Choosing unflavoured varieties of non-dairy milk rather than flavours such as vanilla, cocoa, or carob can help to avoid the development of a preference for very sweet beverages by the young child.
Toddlers and preschoolers, whether vegan or not, tend to eat less than most parents think they should. This is generally due to a developing sense of independence and a slowing in growth. While nutrient needs are also relatively lower than during infancy, an adequate diet remains important to promote growth and development. These early years are also important for developing healthy eating patterns that can establish a foundation for a healthful adult diet. One important consideration for young vegan children is the ability to get enough calories. Young children have small stomachs and too much high fibre food may make them feel full before they get all the calories they need. Foods such as avocados, nut and seed butters, dried fruits, and soya products provide a concentrated source of calories. If necessary, the fibre content of the diet can be reduced by giving some refined grain products, fruit juices and peeled fruits and vegetables. Eating more frequent meals, including nutritious snacks, can also help to ensure adequate energy intakes.
If a child's diet contains enough calories, normal growth and development can be expected and studies of vegan children have shown that their caloric intake is close to recommended levels and similar to intakes of non-vegan children of the same age(16,17).Vegan children in the UK and the US have been found to be slightly shorter and lighter in weight than average but appeared to be growing at a normal rate(15,16). Children need a lot of energy in relation to their size and although healthy eating should be encouraged it is important that the diet be energy dense. Including foods such as vegetable oils, avocados, seeds, nut butters and pulses can provide both calories and nutrients. Dried fruits are also a concentrated source of energy and are an attractive food for many children. Children from an early age should be encouraged to brush teeth after eating dried fruits and other sweet foods to prevent tooth decay.
Protein needs can be easily met if children eat a variety of plant foods and have an adequate intake of calories. It is unnecessary to plan and complement amino acids precisely within each meal so long as children eat a variety of foods each day. Sources of protein for vegan children include pulses (peas, beans, lentils, soya), grains (wheat, oats, rice, barley, buckwheat, millet, pasta, bread), nuts, meat substitutes and nut butters. Calcium is an important nutrient for growing bones and teeth. Good sources include fortified non-dairy milks and juices, calcium set tofu, baked beans and dark green leafy vegetables low in oxalic acid such as spring greens and kale. Calcium supplementation may be indicated in cases of inadequate dietary intake. Children regularly exposed to sunlight under appropriate conditions (two to three times per week for about 20-30 minutes on hands and face) appear to have no dietary requirement for vitamin D. Those children who have limited exposure to sunlight or who are dark skinned and have no dietary source of vitamin D require supplements. Only a few foods naturally contain vitamin D (D3, cholecalciferol) and all of these are animal products. Vitamin D3 is usually obtained from lanolin, which is derived from sheep's wool and therefore not acceptable to vegans. Foods fortified with a vegan source of vitamin D (D2, ergocalciferol) include margarine, some non-dairy milks and fortified breakfast cereals. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common childhood nutritional problem and is no more likely to occur in vegan than non-vegan children(8). Good sources of iron include whole or enriched grains and grain products, iron fortified cereals, legumes, green leafy vegetables and dried fruits. Diets of vegan and non-vegan children often contain similar amounts of zinc, though zinc from plant foods is less well absorbed as they contain phytate, which interferes with zinc absorption. Emphasising foods that are good sources of zinc and protein such as pulses and nuts can increase the amount of zinc in the diet and promote absorption. Use of yeast-leavened bread and fermented soya products such as tempeh and miso can also improve zinc absorption(8). Zinc supplements may be needed for young vegan children whose diet is based on high-phytate cereals and legumes(19). FSC and Seven Seas produce vegan vitamin and mineral supplements suitable for children.Vegan children should use foods fortified with vitamin B12 or take vitamin B12 supplements. A variety of foods fortified with vitamin B12 are available, including some brands of vegan milk, meat substitutes, yeast extract and some breakfast cereals. Vegan Society trademark holders Quest and Vega Nutritionals produce vegan vitamin B12 supplements.
Although today more and more children are vegan from birth, many older children also become vegan. There are many ways to make the transition from a non-vegan to a vegan diet. Some families gradually eliminate dairy products and eggs while others make a more definite change. Regardless of which approach you choose, be sure to explain what is going on and why in a way that the child can understand. Offer foods that look familiar at first. Peanut butter sandwiches seem to be universally popular and many children like pasta or baked beans. Gradually introduce new foods. Watch your child's weight closely. Weight loss is likely at first, but if it continues or the child seems to be growing less rapidly, add more concentrated calories and reduce the amount of fibre in the diet.
Many vegan children like:• Bagels with nut butter or hummous • Bean burritos or tacos • Fresh or dried fruit • Mashed potatoes• Oven-cooked chips • Pancakes and waffles • Pasta with tomato sauce • Peanut butter and yeast extract sandwiches• Pizza without cheese, topped with vegetables and pulses, tofu, or fake meat• Raw vegetables with dips• Shakes made with soya milk and fruit• Spaghetti with tomato sauce• Tofu/vegetarian dogs• Veggie burgersVegan diets planned in accord with current dietary recommendations can meet the nutritional needs of infants and children, give children a better start in life and help to establish lifelong healthy eating patterns.

Healthy Benefits of Owning Pets
Furry friends provide companionship as well as promote good health.
Animals have always been an important part of my family. My first puppy, a gift when I was a baby, turned into a fine hunting dog for my grandfather, who trained him. He also became my devoted companion for the next 16 years.
I've never been without a pet. These days, our home is ruled by a quartet of orange feline siblings taken in after their mother died and hand-fed by my children. Now 2 years old, these animals have absolutely no idea that cats are supposed to be aloof. All four crave attention, and I love it when one climbs onto my lap or snuggles close while I read or watch TV.
Reason To Get Active
Most cats don't take kindly to being walked on a leash. Dogs, on the other hand, usually love it, and you can get some great
exercise by taking your dog on regular walks. Before heading out, be sure your pet has a properly fitted collar with identification
and a sturdy leash. Shorthaired dogs are especially susceptible to cold, so sweaters or other coverings will keep them warm
and ward off health hazards such as hypothermia.
Throwing a ball for your dog is also a wonderful workout for him, and it keeps you moving as well. After playtime in wet winter weather, check paws and ears for ice crystals that could signal frostbite. If you suspect your pet has frostbite or has developed hypothermia (shivering, low breathing rate, unresponsiveness), seek veterinary care immediately.

H.S. Football: Teaneck hangs on, tops Hackensack
The Record
Hackensack didn't go down quietly, though.
Trailing 26-13 at the start of the fourth quarter, Comets quarterback Brandon Davis connected with Justin Wimberly for a 40-yard touchdown strike to help bring Hackensack within six.
It was Wimberly's second touchdown reception of the game after hauling in a 33-yard score in the first half.
"The kids get up for this game no matter what," Henry said. "We had a rough year, but with Teaneck-Hackensack, you can throw the record out the door."

Fractured Ferry Tale
In the immediate aftermath of the Staten Island Ferry catastrophe, Mayor Bloomberg's top aides were pointing to high winds as a possible cause of the terrible crash. Anyone who has ever been on a 3,300-ton ferryboat-as the Mayor had been just two weeks earlier-would instantly recognize that assertion as preposterous.

Sequim tops P.A., North Mason
Published on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 by

The pace from here, boys and girls, jumps up a notch.
Sequim's cross country squads showed they might be peaking at the perfect time, however, speeding past Port Angeles and North Mason at Robin Hill Farm Park Oct. 15 in the final regular league meet of the season.
For the Wolves, it wasn't easy, at least on the boys' side. Led by senior Kenny Russell, Sequim placed seven runners in the top 11 spots to edge P.A.'s Roughriders by a single point.
Russell legged out the hilly course in 16 minutes, 5.7 seconds, a second better than Roughrider senior Brad Garrett and four seconds better than P.A. junior John Christian.
Sequim's Ben Ohnstad was fourth, about 40 seconds behind the lead pack, while Colby Robb, Tyler Wilson-Walters, Alex Jenkins, Alex Clifford and varsity newbie Ricky Amundson swept places 7-11.
Sequim's 29 points edged P.A's 30 while North Mason trailed far behind at 85 points.
But Port Angeles had two of its top five runners out of the race, and Sequim coach Harold Huff knows it's going to be tough for Sequim's boys to knock off their region rivals at the Olympic League finals Thursday afternoon.
"They weren't at full strength," Huff said of the Roughriders. With North Kitsap the heavy favorite, Sequim and Port Angeles are likely to fight it out for second and third. "That's not going to happen when the other two kids run (at league). It puts a lot of pressure on Colby and (Wilson-Walters). They have to catch up and beat the No. 4 man and they know that. We're going to work on it."
On the girls' side, Sequim state 2A title hopeful Alli Cutting made big strides toward catching up with defending 2A champ Ruby Roberts of Kingston. After asthma problems hampered the
Sequim junior two weeks ago in
Sequim's match-up with Kingston, Cutting raced strong last week, even if she wasn't being pushed.
Jumping to an early lead, Cutting said she was racing against the time Roberts posted on the course two weeks back (18:16). Cutting cut that down with a blistering 17:50 finish. Former Sequim assistant Chad Lee noted that Cutting's time topped one that Sequim grad Stephanie Marcy, a former 2A state cross country champion herself, posted in Port Angeles two years ago at the same point in the season.
The rest of the Sequim girls crew represented well, taking five of the next seven places. Audrey Lichten (19:12) and Laura Moser (19:25) went 2-3, while Christina Bruce (20:32) was fifth, Zoei Zbaraschuk (21:00) was sixth and Alyssa Stratton (22:32) took eighth.
The times were big improvements compared to two weeks ago, when an illness hindered the Wolves and they finished behind both North Kitsap and Kingston. Cutting improved by more than a minute while Lichten (23 seconds), Moser (28 seconds), Bruce (1:04) and Stratton (45 seconds) each bettered their times significantly.
"We were a little disappointed after that (Kingston) meet," Huff said. "The girls are just where we want them; they're starting to peak."
Sequim's 17 points blew away Port Angeles at 41 points, while North Mason didn't field a minimum of five runners.
In the boys' junior varsity race, Sequim runners posted a strong showing, taking places 2-5 and scoring 22 team points, far ahead of Port Angeles (65 points). Drake Apablasa led Sequim with a 18:30 finish, followed closely by Jacob Sisco in third (18:31) and Joel Christopher (18:32).
Though the league meet doesn't determine much in the postseason - Sequim runners are keying in on the district meet a week later - Thursday's league race is a good measuring stick for the Wolves. Some of the top cross country teams and runners in the state will be there, including the No. 5 (Sequim) and No. 6 (Kingston) teams in the 2A classification and No. 2 (North Kitsap) team in the 3A girls ranks, plus the 3A boys' No. 8 team in North Kitsap.
"I really think the girls have a chance to win," Huff said of his Wolves. "Our four-through-six runners are going to have to have great races. Alli has a good chance to win the race."
"Realistically, it will be difficult for Sequim or P.A. to beat North Kitsap (boys)," Huff said. "They're certainly the favorite in the race (but) second place is up for grabs. I think definitely we're going to be in the hunt for second and third. Our league is so top heavy with good runners it will really be a competitive race ... in both races."

Sort By :
I read the reviews before making this, I baked the hash for 5 minutes then added the egg. It was good and will make them again. We like our egg yolks a little on the soft side so I will not cook them quite as long as suggested. Thanks!
I didnt use as much hash as it called for but oh boy they were still tasty
I made this last night. Very easy recipe and it came out perfectly. Will definitely make again.
What a great idea! My family loved these and I will certainly be making them again! Thanks for sharing! -- Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, NY
I made this for my husband, sons and their friends on vacation. It went over well. The only changes I would make is to try cooking the hash shells for 5 min before filling them with the eggs, and let them sit another 5 min when you take them out of the oven. I will definitely make this again.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hi, I am Mary Frances but I usually go by Mare. I tutor and work at a CARES program at a grade school in Center City. I have worked there (part time) for about four years. I worked at Girl Scouts summer day camp for the past three summers. I am a current junior at Chestnut Hill College, studying English literature and secondary education. I am a very hard worker and passionate about teaching and writing. I have always known that I wanted to be writing, proofreading, editing and overall, being involved with English and helping others. This year I was granted the position of online editor of my school's paper, The Griffin. I am, also, an RA at my school and very involved in other clubs and honor societies such as Alpha Lambda Delta (the freshman honor society; I am the Web Master) and Sigma Tau Delta (the English honor society; I am the VP). I am also the Class President for the second consecutive year.I am very approachable and friendly and can work well with others. I am determined and dedicated to anything and everything I do. You will not choose wrong if you choose me to tutor you or your child.

I believe it is important to have a wide vocabulary. I find myself reading 1000 Most Important Words in the English Language. It helps me broaden my vocabulary. Also, I like to think of fun ways to help me remember the definitions.
I have been highly proficient in grammar my entire life. It even gets to the point where my friends even know that if they make a mistake, they change it before I can correct them. I believe grammar is important because employees can be deterred if you have the qualifications but then hold yourself to such an uneducated sounding esteem.
My reading skills are the same as reading literature. Reading comprehension has become second nature to me due to the fact that I am constantly reading or explicating a story or poem for class or even for fun in my spare time. Reading is great and I will pass that love of reading down to whomever I tutor.
I am an English major and am constantly writing and editing. I love grammar and everything involved in English as a subject.
Since English is my major in college, I am reading constantly and, therefore, I am familiar in explicated poems and understanding literature.
I would love to be an editor. I have always edited my friends' and family's papers or presentations. This school year (2011-2012) I have edited two Senior Seminars (a big presentation of about 20 pages) for friends and they have done well, in the end. I currently freelance as an online editor.
Spelling always came naturally, as did pronouncing words correctly. Words being pronounced incorrectly was always a pet peeve of mine so I try my best to learn how to properly say things. Also, my vocabulary is big and I read a book called 1000 Most Important Words in the English Language, so I may broaden my vocabulary. Reading that books helps because I also note the spelling and try to use the words in my everyday life.
I think studying should be fun. It can all depend on the subject but there are fun ways to study, which I believe teachers should teach in school. There are word plays, and jeopardy-like games that can be incorporated into studying. I know games and correlations to other words, events, songs, shows, etc. have helped me a lot.
I have been in a Catholic school my entire life, from Pre-K to today in college. I am familiar with Bible stories and teachings and since I have been brought up with them being drilled into my head, I even want to and can read Bible studies as an English major and take them as stories as opposed to as a Catholic. However, I am religious and am very familiar with my faith (Catholic Christian). I can take Bible studies from both a bias and unbiased perspective.
I was and still am a very shy person. I have become more out going and confident, though. I know how a presentation, in terms of public speaking, should sound. There should be good eye contact, minimal "ums" and "likes". It has been drilled into my head from everyone (teachers, parents, etc.) in my life.
