text: In a calorie-conscious world, labels are everything. As a culture we eagerly read package labels telling us how much fat this frozen pizza has or how much sodium those chips have. So it would stand to reason that the drinking masses would embrace knowing how many calories are in their cocktail of choice. Ironically, that's not the case – according to a report from market research firm Mintel, two-thirds of consumers have no interest in knowing. This appears to contradict support in the drinks industry for the use of calorie-content labeling ahead of, or in addition to, units as a way of persuading consumers to drink more sensibly. Mintel found 35% of consumers have no interest in alcohol calorie content and a further 31% would rather not know because they think it will impact on their enjoyment of drinking. Only one in five admit it could influence their choice. The study calls into question the wisdom of marketing and packaging which has focused on calories. Paul Hegarty, Drinkaware's industry relationship manager, said recently that calorie content was "far more compelling" than units in helping consumers understand alcoholic content, although he felt units still had a major part to play. Ben Perkins, Mintel's head of food and drink research and author of the report said: "Calorie labeling is supposed to be the next big thing. We spoke to a lot of people in the industry and although some seem to think it will be really important, it isn't at the moment. But it might be that as soon as companies start putting it on labels it starts to change attitudes." Perkins said there was generally a contradiction between consumers feeling there was too much "clutter" on labels and not enough for them to clearly understand the alcoholic content and its possible impacts. He said: "Given a visual prompt, people often say they've seen sensible drinking information but that doesn't always mean they understand it. The challenge for producers is to make as much information available as simply as possible, but that's difficult when one in five people say they don't even look at the labeling." For many consumers it comes down to an issue of too much information. People enjoy their one or two drinks – many see them as a treat or small luxury. Finding out that the beer you're about to drink has 35O calories, or that the Mojito you've been looking forward to has 35 grams of sugar in it, kills the buzz.

MQV (Menezes–Qu–Vanstone) is an authenticated protocol for key agreement based on the Diffie–Hellman scheme. Like other authenticated Diffie-Hellman schemes, MQV provides protection against an active attacker. The protocol can be modified to work in an arbitrary finite group, and, in particular, elliptic curve groups, where it is known as elliptic curve MQV (ECMQV).
MQV was initially proposed by Menezes, Qu and Vanstone in 1995. It was modified with Law and Solinas in 1998. There are one-, two- and three-pass variants.
MQV is incorporated in the public-key standard IEEE P1363.
Some variants of MQV are claimed in patents assigned to Certicom [1].
MQV has some weaknesses that were fixed by HMQV in 2005 [2]; see [3], [4], [5] for an alternative viewpoint.
ECMQV has been dropped from the National Security Agency's Suite B set of cryptographic standards.
Alice has a key pair (A,a) with A her public key and a her private key and Bob has the key pair (B,b) with B his public key and b his private key.
In the following has the following meaning. Let be a point on an elliptic curve. Then where and n is the order of the used generator point P. So are the first L bits of the x coordinate of R.
|Alice generates a key pair (X,x) by generating randomly x and calculating X=xP with P a point on an elliptic curve.
|Bob generates a key pair (Y,y) in the same way as Alice.
|Now, Alice calculates and sends X to Bob.
|Bob calculates and sends Y to Alice.
|Alice calculates and Bob calculates where h is the cofactor (see Elliptic curve cryptography: domain parameters).
|The communication of secret was successful. A key for a symmetric-key algorithm can be derived from K.
Note: for the algorithm to be secure some checks have to be performed. See Hankerson et al.
Bob calculates: .
Alice calculates: .
So the keys K are indeed the same with

Lynchburg - Michael Mosby drove in five runs and Frederick snapped the Hillcats' two-game winning streak, beating Lynchburg 9-4 at Calvin Falwell Field Tuesday night.
The Hillcats, down 3-0 after a Mosby 3-run triple in the fourth, rallied in the bottom of the frame, Dan Brewer's blooper to right gets by Steve Bumbry, allowing Nick Ahmed to score all the way from first for the first of two Lynchburg runs in the inning.
The Hillcats tied it in the fifth, Matt Weaver laid down a pretty bunt and raced to first, causing a bad throw, Bobby Stevens who had doubled scored to tie the game at three.
Mosby struck again in the sixth, this time lining a two-out, two-run double to break the tie, Travis Adair able to jar the ball loose at the plate as the Keys regained the lead 5-3.
Garabez Rosa followed with an rbi double, Frederick added three in the eighth and beats the Hillcats 9-4 in the opener of a three-game series in Lynchburg. Game Two is Wednesday night at 7:05 at Calvin Falwell Field.

Does Rodney Berget deserve the death penalty?
South Dakota's highest court has been charged with answering this complex question
Rodney Berget's lawyer doesn't think he deserves to die and says his client's constitutional rights were violated during the sentencing phase.
KSFY News was in court today to hear Berget's lawyer's reasoning.
The South Dakota Supreme Court was in Sioux Falls today. The court heard arguments from Berget's lawyer Jeff Larson and state attorney general Marty Jackley.
Larson argued the state violated three parts of the constitution.
Jackley argued Berget waived many of his rights throughout the process.
attorney Jeff Larson says his client didn't have the chance to confront a doctor's report used against him in sentencing.
Attorney Jeff Larson said "we agreed to file, under seal, with the agreement it could only be used if Dr. bean testified in court."
Larson argued the competency exam wasn't even brought up until sentencing.
"That's the first time we had noticed, that's why it's a due process violation, is 'how can you respond when the first time I hear about it is when the verdict is being announced.' I can't object at that point. he's reading the verdict and that's where the problem is," Larson said.
But attorney general Marty Jackley said using the report wasn't the state's doing.
"With respect to Dr. Bean, it's important to understand that the state didn't introduce Dr. bean's report, the defendant did. if you look at the record, it was the defendant that placed the report into evidence, it was not the state," Jackley said.
Larson also said Judge Zell was asked to do the impossible. In fact, he says Berget wasn't sentenced on his own.
"If he makes a factual finding different than what he does in Robert, he brings into question his findings in Robert, yet if he makes the exact same findings, he hasn't given Rodney Berget the individualized determination that the constitution requires," Larson said.
Overall, state attorney general Marty Jackley said the state has the right to use extra evidence.
"When the defendant enters into a knowing and voluntary plea as he did on November 17th, he's waived certain rights," Jackley said.
Larson argued Berget's constitution rights were violated in not being able confront Dr. Bean in court; the doctor's exam not being brought up until sentencing violated his right to due process; and the fact the doctor's report was used against him violated his 5th amendment rights against self-incrimination.
Larson said the judge sentenced Berget based on the case of Eric Robert, Berget's partner in crime during the attempted prison escape.
Jackley tells KSFY News the facts of the record as well as the law justifies the use of the death penalty.

A hearing on the open-carry law extends the waiting game between those who want to carry their guns openly and those who say "no way."
Monday Hinds county Judge Winston Kidd extended a temporary restraining order until Friday, July 12th. On or before that date, Kidd said he would issue a final order in the case.
Attorney Lisa Ross, representing the plaintiffs, argued the law should indefinitely be put on hold because it's "unconstitutionally vague."
Ross says the unrestricted free flow of firearms could endanger the public and law enforcement officers in Mississippi.
An attorney for the state countered that existing federal and state laws would impose limits on the open carry law. In addition, local governments and private businesses have the right to ban guns on their premises.
The state says blocking the law violates citizens' constitutional right to bear arms.

A program that trains officers how to recognize drivers on drugs is being reinstated after a suspension last year in Minnesota.
The Drug Recognition Evaluator program (DRE) was suspended last year after Occupy Minnesota activists alleged that officers crossed the line by administering drugs in the testing field in order to study them.
The program will now see some changes before it can be put in motion again. The Department of Public Safety says instead of using study subjects in Minnesota, trainees will head out west to receive more comprehensive training and get their field certification through a DRE program in conjunction with the California Highway Patrol.
Local attorney Nathan Hansen fears the California program still doesn't lend any credibility, and the cost to send trainees out west may not outweigh the benefits the program would provide. He says test subjects have been treated like animals by officers, and no one is being held accountable.
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension conducted a criminal investigation relating to the previous allegations, but no charges were filed against trainees or supervisors.

The image for this learn node is a chameleon from an animation in the terrific tutorial Optics for Teens created and hosted online by the Optical Society of America. If a look through the tutorial makes you curious to learn more about optics, a full Optics course is offered by MIT Open Courseware (tree illustration from Lec# 3). If your interest is roused to know more about chameleons the report of scientists developing computer models for learning about chameleon habitats in Madagascar is offered here by the American Museum of Natural History. And you can learn a lot more about these amazing lizards at the San Diego Zoo's Chameleon page. There the optical mastery of chameleons is described:
The chameleon's eyes are the most distinctive among the reptiles. Each eye has a scaly lid shaped like a cone, with only a small, round opening in the middle for the pupil. The chameleon can rotate and focus its eyes separately to look at two different objects at the same time! This gives it a full 360-degree view around its body. When the chameleon sees prey, both eyes can focus in the same direction to get a clearer view.

It's time for my annual MHR Radio WTF. I enjoy Bena's radio broadcasts a great deal, but it was easier to hear them 3 years ago than it is today, and that's not for my lack of trying. Am I to understand that these things aren't archived? Why not? This is orange-tinted radio gold we're talking about.
Seriously, when I go to mhrradio.ning.com, I don't see any archives or links to past shows. All I see is an "offline" message with the old test bars. If anyone could clue me how to hear past shows, I'd be grateful. And if those things aren't archived, why not just throw them up on Youtube. You might find Youtube is a good traffic driver. (Youtube is very under-rated IMO.) Anyway, thanks for the effort you guys make.

There's not a whole lot I can say about this experience but I'll try.
Having had Ken's Aloha Plenty version (which Greg from Stone has said is way better than the production run) I had very high expectations.
The appearance was classic american porter: deep set black, with a nice leather brown head. It totally makes you want it.
As far as aroma, I got everything I was expecting. The most prominent aroma was the coffee, it smelt of freshly pulled espresso shots and that first morning cup. The toasted coconut would come out every couple sniffs and lent a nice balance to the slight alcohol in the aroma. Being my experience with Bourbon is slight, I'm not sure I got it in the aroma but it may have been there.
Taste...was god-like. The flavors came together incredibly well. Every ingredient complemented the other. The mouthfeel was smooth and silky with a sight syrupy drip at the back end. This barrel aged version brought the production version on-par with the Aloha Plenty.
General impression...I'm sad I had to share the bottle and that it was a limited run. If it is every released in the future, I will be there with bells on.

Thanks for opening this with me, DarthKostrizer!
(Aged for 6+ months)
Very dark brown in color, bordering on black, but not quite there. Small dark brown crown that remains a ring atop the beer. This leaves sticky spots of lace down the glass. Pretty and appropriate.
The aroma is probably this beer's best aspect, with good amounts of earthy bourbon, coffee grounds, mild vanilla, and good nut character. This is rich, complete, sweet, and complex.
The flavor is similarly nice, though the flavors seem a bit muted when compared to the aroma. Coffee, vanilla, earth, and bourbon all combine nicely.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Creamy, easy to drink, rich, and very, very little alcohol harshness.
Good enough, though I actually expected (hoped?) this would bem uch better. I have not been impressed with Stone's barrel-aged offerings for the most part (other than Stone IRS).

That's right. I won a bottle and to the victor goes the spoils. Shared at Toronado SD with friends and family. Drank the same day after pick up.
A: Nothing spectacular. Looks like a nice port. Dark color with minimal, no head.
S: Overwellming bourbon. Bourbon for days... Think 50/50 Eclipse bourbon. Very noticeable for a port base and low alchool percentage. Faint smells of the base brew underneath... Wait... What is that? Mmm coffee, macadamia nut, vanilla, chocolate. Mmmm.
T: The bourbon smacks you in the face. But the finish lasts for minutes followed by waves of vanilla, nutty, coffee... Very good. Fantastic.
M: Perfect. Nothing else. Not over done on carb, like a velvet wash on your tounge. Like a velour jumpsuit for your mouth.
Overall: An amazing beer worthy of the top spot of Stone and perhaps one of the best colab beers ever brewed. Please feel free to trade your bottle to me if you feel otherwise. A complete travisty in life that the beer is not readily avaliable. Great job to all invloved, but I need more. Cheers.

Was probably the only person to open this up at the bar.
A-Poured jet black with two fingers of thick head, more foam than I had expected. Nice.
S-This might be the best smelling barrel aged porter that I have had to date. Really excellent bourbon, coffee and roasted malt smell. I would shower in it if it would not lead to social problems.
T-Taste is more subdued than the smell, but still pretty amazing. Really smooth and well balanced, not too much booze.
M-Solid coating of the mouth, not quite as viscous as Hunahpus, but still what I'd want from a barrel aged stout.
O-quite an exceptional beer and was very glad to have tried and shared it.

Reviewing the Bourbon Barrel Aged Kona Coffee Macadamia Coconut Porter, a collaboration between San Diego area homebrewer Ken Schmidt, Stone Brewing Company and Maui Brewing Company. The name of the beer is pretty evocative of what it is.
Score: 91
Summer 2011 vintage caged and corked bottle, one of 672 produced. Served in a stemmed taster glass and enjoyed on 11/07/13 at the Chicago Craft Beer Lover's event hosted at The Beer Temple. Huge shout out and thanks to beeradvocate user Chi81 for bringing this surprise treat, one that I have long wanted to try and since given up on ever ticking. Review is from iPhone notes.
Appearance: Pours a soda color with minimal head off the pour that totally settles. Oily legs, but poor lacing/retention. 3.5/5
Smell: Roast, coconut, cocoa, light oak and light molasses. A dash of fruity oxidation, which melds nicely with the other complexities of the nose. No single character, not even the coconut, takes the center stage here; all are well balanced in proportion to each other. 4.25/5
Taste: The toasted coconut flavor is not nearly as prominent as I expected it to be, but still there to a nice degree. Also present is a mix of chocolate, brown sugar and light oak. Really nice integration of the components, but the flavor is not very bold. Traditional bourbon flavor featured in bourbon barrel aged stouts/porters is virtually non-existent. Coconut flavor grows a little bit when I let the beer sit and warm in the glass. 4/5
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Slick mouthfeel. Good balance, with a light sweetness. 4.25/5
Overall: A lot more subtle in flavor and delicate than anticipated. I enjoyed this, but imagine it has faded over the past two-plus years.

Huge thanks to starrdogg for bringing this bottle to the Stone tasting. Served in a Stone goblet.
This was the highlight of the night for me. I loved the base beer when it was younger, and enjoyed this one even more so.
Pours a moderately-dark brown color with a thin off-white head and a good collar throughout. The nose hits hard from the beginning with really fantastic notes of bourbon and coconut along with some chocolate, oak, and vanilla in the background. The vanilla carries through to the flavor along with the bourbon and coconut, and just does wonders.
Body is medium and oh so smooth. The coconut bourbon combo is hard to beat. Wow. Some oak and vanilla carry through the finish, which has a bit of remaining sweetness.
Overall, this was one of the better barrel-aged beers that I've had in quite some time. Really fantastic work by the people at Stone, as well as their collaborators. Cheers.

The Topshop Topman opening party in Los Angeles on February 13, 2013.
Because no matter what the trends tell you, at the end of the day it's usually better when you work with your natural hair texture. (Biggest.Lesson.Ever from my hairdresser Bill Angst.) Kate's hair is naturally very fine and very straight—basically the opposite of the textured, wavy look that's been in fashion for the past few years. But instead of fighting it, and trying to be someone she's not, I love that she's practising hair acceptance.
Many straight-haired people (myself included) never feel like wearing it straight is dressy enough. It's too flat… it's too boring. But this just goes to show you that if you make a neat, deliberate part (usually best on one side rather than the middle), run a flat iron through it and maybe some glossing serum, it can be real pretty.

On another note, a friend of mine joined Jazzercise and we are going together this afternoon with all 4 of our kids. I made her promise not to laugh at me, seeing as I lack proper coordination and am generally 1-2 steps behind everyone else. But at least the kids can play together and I have more motivation to go to class. Thanks, Wendy!
Abby has been waking lots during the night, driving me bonkers. Sometimes she's sleepwalking/talking in her sleep. Sometimes she wants a drink of water or is tangled up in her covers. But the newest thing is that she needs to potty in the wee (pun intended) hours of the morning (i.e. 4-5:30 a.m.). While I am proud of her for staying dry all night, this new development is exhausting. I suppose I need to start limiting her liquid intake or talk to her lots about taking herself potty in the night (not sure how this will go and whether or not she'll wake Izzy in the process). I'll need to get another night light for their bathroom, too. And it would be helpful if she'd wear Pull Ups to bed (long story, but we can't use them. and whenever I put her to sleep in panties, she wets her bed. but every time she sleeps in a diaper, she wakes up dry the next day)....I am sure it's a phase just like anything else, and it doesn't help that she's cutting some new molars. It may simply be that she's uncomfortable and therefore not sleeping as well/as soundly as usual. We have our 3-year checkup next week, and our pediatrician is great about helping with these sorts of things. If I can make it for another week! Ack!

If you have a case of genital warts, you'd be relieved to know that there is an excellent home therapy method that can greatly reduce them. And this method is based on the use of apple cider vinegar for genital warts treatment.
Apple cider vinegar, or ACV, is made from apple must or cider, and its acidic properties can actually put up a fight against warts in your private areas. Apple cider vinegar will not do anything against the HPV virus which is responsible for your genital warts, but it can fight the symptoms and help in the removal of the warts from the skin. More specifically, after seven days of application, the superficial layer of the skin begins peeling off, and the genital warts will soon be dead pieces of skin that you will be able to remove, although it is advisable to wait until they drop naturally.
Apple Cider Vinegar Application
The method of application is pretty straightforward. You only need apple cider vinegar, which available in pretty much every super market, some cotton swabs or cotton balls, and some band aids or surgical tape.
If your genital warts are relatively limited and small in size, you can simply soak the Q-tips in undiluted apple cider vinegar and rub them gently. You then cover the treated area with a band aid for the duration of the night, and remove it the next morning, when you should also wash the area meticulously with lukewarm water.
If your warts are of the bigger variety, it is better to use an appropriately sized cotton ball to similar effect. Simply soak it in apple cider vinegar and strap it in place with the aid of some surgical tape. Keep it there overnight and remove the following morning, again washing the area as mentioned above.
During the application of apple cider vinegar treatment on your genital warts, you might feel slight discomfort, which usually comes in the form of a tingling or burning sensation. This is to be expected, and is nothing to worry about – it would actually mean that the apple cider vinegar treatment for your genital warts will soon yield the desired results.
After a few days of following this procedure, your genital warts may change in color or you might feel itching in the area. This is also to be expected, and you should carry on with apple cider vinegar for genital warts treatment until the warts disappear. Typically, this will happen within a week, but in more serious case, a longer period of time may be required.


text: I am a third year student at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, and it has been rough for me to be out of town during this whole relocation saga. I have done all I can while being out of town, by promoting the events through twitter and facebook as well as writing numerous letters to the relocation committee. In my Leadership class, one of our students became diagnosed with cancer, and we decided to hold a benefit concert to raise proceeds for cancer research in his name. This got me thinking, what if the city of Sacramento had a benefit concert for a new arena? I know it wouldn't fund the whole arena, but it would be fun, and every little bit helps right?

I am hoping to use cloth diapers, but everyone says I'm crazy. Is it really that difficult?
I would like to know what others' experiences are with cloth vs. disposable. I am going to register soon, and want to ask for cloth diapers, but my family says I am idealistic and think I'm naive to think I will have that kind of time or patience. Any comments??? Does anyone do both cloth and disposable, and when would you use each if this is the case?

Depending on where you live it may be no safer for your ground water to put fecies into the toilet. Some cities still mix rainwater with the sewage especally when there are heavy rains. There is nothing crazy about using cloth diapers but examine your reasons for wanting to do so before commiting to it. I recomend trying it, not planning on it. As a new mother the last thing you want to feel is overwhelmed and unable to do something that may be hard. Just being a parent is stressfull, even if you have to most agreeable and easy going baby on earth. You don't want to compromise your parenting goals for idealism of being the perfect person. That's impossible even without the baby involved, but easier to attempt it when you only have yourself to worry about. Don't overwhelm yourself at an overwhelming time in your life. What I'm trying to say is: If you need to use a few disposable diapers it'll be fine.posted 01/25/2011 by JR Oochie Boo
People thought I was crazy when I said I wanted to cloth diaper.Cloth diapering, hands down, is the easiest thing in the world! If you have a washer and dryer, and two pail liners and 24 cloth diapers of your choosing, there are several new and improved cloth diapers out there these days! You don't have to use rubber pants, you just use a cute cover instead! There are all in ones, pocket and duos besides prefolds. But i have each of the different types of diapers and I always go back to my prefolds, they are easy! Please don't be discouraged to try it, if you don't like it then sell the diapers your purchased. You could save so much money, in the two years that babies are normally in diapers you could spend well under 300.00 for cloth diapers and save yourself well over 2000.00 by not purchasing disposables. My daughter has been in cloth since the day she was born! I would highly recommend it. And for diaper rash, you would want to get some Grandma Els diaper rash cream! Good Luck!posted 11/07/2010 by purple1982
We do both, and it's qiute easy. Cloth at home during the day, disposeable at night and at daycare 2 days. And when we're on vacation or something like that. I use prefolds, a snappi and thristies or prowraps covers, and a couple gerber ones for backup. If you exclusively breast feed, washing will be easy. You'll wash often at first because they use so many at the beginning. I used dry pail method just fine until about 10-12mo, then we were using fewer diapers a day and I just couldn't bring myself to do a load of a couple diapers. I found that if you airdry the pee ones, there is barely any smell once dry and I can do a load once every 7-10 days instead. the poo ones are rinsed and soaked in a vinegar water bucket until wash. Or if the poo falls right off into the toilet and there's only poo smudge, I'll dry that diaper too. Kindof a weird system, but it works for me :) I think if I can find some used to buy, next time around I might try these 'overnight' cloth diapers I have seeposted 07/23/2010 by flightgoddess
Cloth is so much better than disposables! Check out the Cloth Diaper board on BBC, the mama's there are very helpful and all enthusiastic about CDing!posted 07/11/2010 by funk_e
Nope, super easy. Espeically if you use pocket diapers or AIO (all in one) diapers. They look, feel, and work just like disposables. All one piece, waterproof layer built in, etc. Changes are EXACTLY the same. The only difference is instead of tossing it, you wash and reuse. I have also realized that since we switched to cloth, I have had NO MORE blowout diapers, you know the kind with poop up the back and all over baby and the clothing. Cloth diapers hold them in WAY better and the only thing you have to deal with is the diaper itself. A HUGE plus for me, and if you plan on breastfeeding baby, this WILL happen.posted 06/28/2010 by AAE's mama
We use a diaper service and it's amazing! It costs $80/ mo and they drop/pick them up once a week. Not having to launder them makes it not any different than disposables!posted 05/15/2010 by Tarahlinda
I run a in home daycare and have had the experience of both cloth and disposable. I think that cloth take a bigger commitment as far as laundry and pre soaking, etc but as far as cost, they can save alot of money in the long run. I was more comfortable with disposable but that is just me. I do know though that my daycare mom did mention something about NOT using any diaper rash creme that has COD OIL in it. I can't remember why she said to but I'm guessing that it has something to do with the smell not coming out ? I say you do what you feel is best for you and don't let your family decide. If they want to spend the $1000+ throughout the years for disposables, then let them buy them. This is baby #4 for us and I will be buying disposables but that is what works for our family. Best of luck to you and hope you will find a great outcome in whatever you decide to do!posted 04/03/2010 by twinks_3winks
I got that guff from people too who didnt inform themselves about diapers. (how many people shake the poop out of disposables like the package says) Newborns are the hardest cuz their bladders are so small you are always changing but after a few months its just as easy. Our first started in disposables. When he was 5 months we found out no2 was on the way so we went to cloth. I sewed 2 doz from a pattern and bought some foldables with plastic covers. This works but at night we use a disposable.posted 03/31/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I cloth diapered two of mine and by far the best cloth diaper we found was the Bum Genius brand. We still used disposables when travelling but it was easy. You will pay more upfront but in the long run, you save money. I ended up doing on, maybe two extra loads per week, but mostly because I just wanted to get them done, not because they smelled or because I had a ton! I was skeptical of using cloth wipes but soon found it was easier than regular ones. You just clean the baby, and put the cloth wipe into the diaper and toss it into the pail and wash them together. There is nothing like holding a warm sleepy baby on your chest when they are wearing nothing but a soft cloth diaper!posted 03/15/2010 by TeamSteadham
Here's the first lesson of parenthood: learn to ignore nay-sayers. If it's healthy & makes your family happy, then do it, even if it's "different". I think people are "crazy" for just buying boxes & boxes of paper diapers, spending thousands of $$, just to throw it in a landfill, and never question if there's a better way. I'm a first-time mom and we use cloth (mostly pre-folds, Snappis, & Thirsties wraps) full-time, even on cross-country trips to see family. Everyone who sees them is amazed at how easy & functional they are. Washing does NOT take that much time and many daycares will learn to use BumGenius-type cloth diapers. Just make sure you choose the right system so you don't make it harder for yourself. Gerber prefolds from the big-box stores are NOT a good choice. They are leaky and fall apart quickly. Check out www.cottonbabies.com and www.kellyscloset.com. Make sure you buy the recommended detergent.posted 03/13/2010 by RM09Mama

U.S. Supreme Court
Nearly Half of Poll Respondents Are Clueless on Supreme Court's Ruling on Health Care Law
Posted Jul 5, 2012 6:42 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
News of the U.S. Supreme Court decision (PDF) upholding the health care law's insurance mandate hasn't reached nearly half of the public.
Only 55 percent of the public is aware that the court upheld most of the law, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center. The Washington Post blog The Fix has the numbers on those left in the dark: Thirty percent said they didn't know how the court had ruled and 15 percent thought the court had struck down most of the law.
Of those who were aware that the court upheld most of the law, 50 percent approved of the decision and 42 percent disapproved. The approval rating changed for the broader group: Thirty-six percent approved of the ruling, 40 percent disapproved and 24 percent had no opinion.

Any new/changed concerns regarding the private property access beyond what's written in the route guide? And, any recommendations for camping nearby/around west creek area in general?
Be sure to park off to the left at the gated driveway (avoid blocking the gate). There is a metal sign that shows a map with property lines, but basically WALK the road. DO NOT drive it our mountain bike it. When it makes a sharp right towards a house, continue straight (I made a wooden sign on a metal stake here to point the way). Go a few hundred yards and take a climber's trail angling right (another wooden sign). The trail will lead you to the cliff. As for camping, DO NOT camp at the parking area. You can go about 1.5 miles back up the road to where the trees are and find dispersed camping. Otherwise go back to Stump Road, go west half a mile and turn onto FS-360 (goes to Turkey Rock). There's tons of free, dispersed camping along this road. We have worked really hard to repair landowner/climber relations and things are good now so long as people follow the above guidelines. Have a great time! The guidebook will be out this fall for the area
Thanks for the camping info Jason. So route guide info is still current. OK, no worries.
Hey Jason, is the guide gonna include boulder problems as well?
Patrick - I haven't totally decided to be honest. I plan to mention what areas have them and what some classics to look out for are, but I've gone back and forth about actually including all the individual boulder problems. I probably won't as enough of it is covered in all the bouldering books that are out. I realize they barely scratch the surface in what's out there, even at the "established" areas like Sheep Nose, but at the end of the day, I'm not a boulderer so I'm not sure I can do it justice.
Are the routes mostly straight sport?
Not mostly sport. There are quite a few clip ups though. It's a good variety of mixed, trad and sport, definately worth checking out.

Madison (Press Release) – Wisconsin citizens participating in Humane Lobby Day 2010 met Thursday with state legislators at the state Capitol in support of stronger animal protection laws.
The Humane Society of the United States also presented Wisconsin state Rep. Jeff Smith, D-EauClaire, with a Humane State Legislator award.
Each year, The Humane Society of the United States, the nation's largest animal protection organization, recognizes state lawmakers across the country who have initiated path-breaking animal protection legislation and demonstrably advanced reform in the policy-making arena.
Rep. Smith received the award for his active leadership to negotiate a compromise among stakeholders and to pass The Dog Breeders Licensure Bill (2009 WI Act 90) to regulate large-scale puppy producing operations, known as puppy mills. Thanks to Smith's efforts, Wisconsin's dogs will be protected from the worst abuses and the state will join others in addressing this important animal welfare issue.
"I am honored to receive this recognition from The Humane Society of the United States for my work on animal protection in the Wisconsin legislature," Rep. Smith said. "I'm proud of the comprehensive consensus we developed, and the patient activism from various stakeholders."
"Thanks to the determined efforts of Representative Smith, Wisconsin is now known as a state that will not tolerate the animal abuse occurring at puppy mills," said Alyson Bodai, The HSUS' Wisconsin state director. "The Humane Society of the United States is proud to honor Representative Smith with this award and acknowledge his humane leadership on animal welfare issues."
In addition, Gov. Jim Doyle passed a resolution recognizing Tuesday, Feb. 23, as Spay Day. Spay Day is The HSUS' annual campaign designed to highlight the importance of saving animal lives by spaying or neutering. On Spay Day and throughout the month of February, The HSUS brings together hundreds of spay/neuter events to create a wave of spay/neuter activity and awareness across the country.

Minister pledges overhaul on licence system as East Lancs robber caught (From Blackburn Citizen)

Minister pledges overhaul on licence system as East Lancs robber caught
1:00pm Tuesday 20th May 2014 in News
THE prisons minister has promised an 'urgent' overhaul of the temporary release of convicts after a Blackburn armed robber and a murderer went on the run.
Thomas Moffett, 51, previously of Roebuck Close, failed to return to HMP Kennet, Liverpool, from day release on Saturday.
He absconded the same day as Arnold Pickering, a 44-year-old convicted killer who was serving a life sentence for stabbing a disabled man in 1990.
Moffett was arrested in Canterbury Street, Blackburn at 9.05pm on Sunday, while Pickering was picked up in Oldham, the town where he committed his crime, at 11.45am yesterday.
Both men had been risk assessed as suitable for temporary release on licence by the Ministry of Justice, despite Pickering being known to have absconded three times before.
When asked if Moffett had fled before, the Ministry of Justice said they could not comment.
In a statement issued last night, prisons minister Jeremy Wright said: "I am not prepared to see public safety compromised. The system for allowing prisoners out on temporary licence has been too lax up till now and we are making major changes to address this. In light of recent incidents I have tasked officials with implementing these changes as a matter of urgency.
"This means that there will shortly be significant restrictions on who is granted temporary release — which from now on must be earned — tightening up of monitoring arrangements and abolishing any leave without a clear link to rehabilitation."
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling described the case of the missing prisoners as 'unacceptable' and said the Government would 'speed up' planned tightening of the rules around temporary licences. He said: "Generally speaking it has a pretty good success record. There are fewer than one per cent of cases where there are problems but what I can't justify is why somebody who has done this before is back in open conditions on day release again and that's something now I intend to change."
Speaking about the search for Moffett, a Lancashire Police spokesman said: "After Moffett was reported missing, we conducted an extensive search.
"He is from Blackburn and so was thought to be in the area."
Moffett was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence for carrying out six armed robberies on off-licences in Blackburn between March and May 2006.

Fergus Cullen: For casino backers, any argument will do
So it is with the casino lobby in New Hampshire. No matter what your problem, expanded gambling is the product for you.
When Pease Air Force Base closed in the early 1990s, the gambling lobby suggested a casino in Newington could fill the void. When the feds cut Medicaid enhancement funds a few years later, video gaming would plug the Mediscam budget hole.
Never let a crisis go to waste. For backers of casino gambling, any argument will do.
When the state moved toward universal mandatory kindergarten, allowing video poker at dying dog tracks in Belmont, Seabrook and Hinsdale could pay for it. After the Claremont court decision in 1997, then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen backed "slots for tots" as a means of increasing state aid for education.
A decade ago, one gambling plan earmarked revenue to fund prescription drugs for seniors. With unemployment high during the ongoing recession, longtime pro-casino state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro called his gambling bill a jobs bill.
Now Gov. Maggie Hassan says licensing a casino is the only way for the state to restore cuts to the University of New Hampshire and, capitalizing on Newtown, to pay for mental health programs. Pass casinos or risk a mass school shooting.
They're miracle products, those casinos. They're like Ginsu knives sold on late-night television. After providing enough money to fund schools and employ thousands, they can cut through a tin can and still cleanly slice a tomato - without social costs!
Legislators should be wary of casino lobbyists who act like guys in a singles bar as closing time approaches, using whatever come-on line fits the moment in their effort to take you home.
Watching the deep-pocketed gambling lobby in action has prompted longtime observers to worry that a future casino industrial complex would dominate New Hampshire's volunteer Legislature in short order. These opponents see corruption and crime as intrinsic to gambling, based on the experience of other states. They worry about social costs, which even the governor acknowledges will increase as a result of her plan. She's OK with that, but legislators may be less cavalier about collateral damage.
I describe myself as pro-choice on gambling. If you like to gamble or see it as just another form of entertainment, I'm not going to prevent you from visiting Vegas or Foxwoods. I think buying lottery tickets is for people who are bad at math, so I don't buy them. You can do what you like.
But one can be pro-choice on gambling and still think it's a bad idea to open a casino in New Hampshire.
Allowing one casino, as Gov. Hassan has proposed, is like watching one ant walk across your kitchen counter. That ant is a scout, and there won't be just one ant for long. Were one casino to open, pressure would build immediately for more, either because the first casino is making money or because it isn't making enough. The first gambling addict will be state government, which will be hooked on the money even as returns diminish.
So allowing one casino is to expect slot machines all over the state. One past proposal would have allowed 100 slot machines at any hotel with more than 100 beds. That would fundamentally alter New Hampshire's brand as a family-friendly place to vacation.
"Casinos provide very few high-skill, living-wage jobs and no exportable or value-added product or service. As an economic strategy, casinos take our state in precisely the wrong direction," former state Sen. Jim Rubens told me this week. Rubens leads the volunteer-driven Granite State Coalition Against Expanded Gambling. The only ones who get rich from casinos are the owners. It's the first rule of gambling: The house always wins.
"It's called gambling because it's a gamble," former Gov. Steve Merrill, a gambling opponent, used to say. Gov. Hassan is finding that out for herself.

I have a pptpd server running on Debian. What I'd like to accomplish is to connect my windows 7 client to the Debian server and mount the windows share to the debian server. I have an application running on the server that needs file access to my share. I'm able to connect the the server with the vpn dialer built into windows, I can connect through the tunnel to the resources on the server, but not from the server to the client. Pings are dropped and any attempt to mount a drive times out. I've disabled the windows firewall to assure no interference on that end. I'm not sure if it's a local routing issue or if there is a policy some where that wont allow traffic back through the tunnel.

OK! We've herd it 20,000 times. Bengals needs are S, RB, LB, WR. That's what everyone has been saying and repeating all off season.
But lets step away from that thinking for just a moment and reflect upon the 2012 season. Why did we not win some of the games we lost ( most importantly the playoff game) Was it our weak link at safety. I don't think so. Defense was allowing about 12 points a game down stretch. Houston only scored 19.
We couldn't run left and Dalton wasn't able to get the ball to receivers. It's the offense, stupid. It wasn't that BJGE can't find a hole, there wasn't one. Since the Philly game, everybody started crowding the line and stunting and pressuring Dalton with great success.
Now with the Andre crap, we really need to focus where we stand with our offensive line. This is a deep crop of non glamour positions, and before we get all warm and fuzzy thinking about Vaccarro taking over at safety, or Gio breaking loose, let's take a hard look at what makes an offense successful.
When you can run at will against anybody and your QB can look over the field for 6 seconds or more when your throwing the ball, your going to have a fair modicum of success.
One of the biggest reasons for our defense being so highly ranked is the D-line. Imagine what our offense could be with that level of O-line.
None of you would buy my first 2 round mock. 1 Fluker, 2a Barret Jones, 2b Travis Frederick. These are guys that should be available at those picks and won't be stretches. Andy gets better, AJ gets better, BJGE gets better. Heck Bernard Scott and Dan Herron get better.

MLS released the short list for their official awards today and only one FC Dallas player made the list.
With his heroic donation of bone marrow, Chris Seitz is a finalist for MLS W.O.R.K.S Humanitarian of the year, but unfortunately that's it for FCD.
Despite racking up 9 assists in half a season and pretty much single-handedly turning the FCD season around, David Ferreira did not make the final three of the Comeback Player of the Year Finalists.
Also, Austin Berry, Nick DeLeon and Darren Mattocks are the three finalists for Rookie of the Year leaving Matt Hedges out in the cold.

The 18-hole Reidy Creek Golf Course covers 2,582 yards in the rugged hills of Escondido, supplying guests with a scenic backdrop for club-based revelry. The rolling terrain of the par 54 course—intertwined with manmade obstacles such as sculpted bunkers, sinuous lakes, and wind—challenges golfers as they attempt holes-in-one. The distinctive course, designed by the notable engineers at Cal Olson Golf Architecture not to contain any two identical holes, contains a golf shop, café, and golf clinics taught by PGA professionals. ______________ Operating out of five courses throughout the greater San Diego area, JC Golf's Intro2Golf program fosters pin-hunting prowess with a shrewd blend of hands-on instruction, individual practice, and on-course experience designed to introduce the basics of golf to beginners. During the pressure-free sessions, JC Golf equips pupils with all the necessary equipment, saving neophytes the hassle of rustling up their own sets of clubs or graphite shaft bananas. Three additional buckets of range balls grant golfers the spherical tools necessary to implant newly learned concepts into muscle memory. The package also allows clubbers to loop the links at their chosen course twice after 4 p.m. for an additional $10 per round, allowing them to test their mettle amid the brambly hazards and sand-trap curmudgeons found on every real course.
Adventure Ski & Snowboard School helps skiers and snowboarders hone their mountain-shredding skills far away from snow-capped peaks with a rolling-carpet ski machine. Similar to a treadmill, the machine simulates the smooth, slippery surface of a powder-dusted slope, allowing riders to practice balancing and controlled carving. As guests glide over the endless slope, a padded, waist-high horizontal bar offers them a safety net when they attempt unfamiliar techniques, cheered on by one of the school's seasoned instructors.
Adventure Ski & Snowboard School is a member of both the Professional Ski Instructors of America and the American Association of Snowboard Instructors, a testament to their off-slope training methods, much like the frequent attempts of abominable snowmen to infiltrate their facility.
As proprietor of Sew Inspired, Laura spreads her love for clothing design and assembly through creative sewing programs for children, teenagers, and adults. She starts kids out at the foundational level, encouraging them in the creation of simple projects such as crafting felt flowers or stitching smiley faces onto moms' best business suits. Teenage sewers take their learning into their own hands with self-directed sessions while tackling the more advanced concepts of sketching, patternmaking, and draping. Adults may opt to work on personal projects during unstructured open-sew studio times or hone their skills in three-week classes, during which they acquaint themselves with the sewing machine and set to work crafting A-line skirts.
The team at Paddle Planet enables aquatic exploration with its shiny fleet of watersport vessels from brands by the likes of Naish, Starboard, Amundson, and Ocean Kayak. Patrons can purchase or rent their desired mode of transportation before they embark on muscle-powered paddleboard voyages, master the tides on a soft-top surfboard, or glide across flat-water lagoons in a tandem kayak. Paddle Planet's aquatic experts also teach first-time paddlers the basics, and lead yoga lessons atop standup paddleboards. While enjoying the tranquil lagoon waters of Agua Hedionda, yoga students hop on floating mats and practice poses that give them the balance and focus needed to tightrope walk across power lines.
At Neal Mims Skate Academy, pro skater Neal Mims and his team of instructors teach students everything they need to know to master the board. They do so during private lessons held at skate parks throughout the region, as well as week-long skate camps. Whereas private lessons allow for individualized attention, the camps give participants the chance to socialize and make friends. Skate camps are for groups of no more than six, and include a T-shirt, a certificate of achievement, and a gift bag.
For Rachel Robertson, five is a magic number. It's the number of movements that the spine is capable of—flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation, and neutral—and it's the maximum number of students she'll allow in one of her classes (which are 55 minutes long). Because the classes are kept small, her guidance is precise and personalized. She makes small modifications to each student's form as they segue from one exercise to the next, helping them not only to perfect their technique, but to become increasingly aware of the way their body functions.
Rachel's lessons incorporate mats as well as Stott Pilates equipment, from Reformers to stability chairs. Though all of her routines help to build core strength, balance, and flexibility, she tailors them to address the needs of each client, whether they're an athlete hoping to hone performance or someone looking to lose weight. Rehabilitative and specialty classes even focus on conditions such as scoliosis or pelvic-floor problems. Alongside her fellow instructor and former student Shyra, Rachel coaches clients of all ages and fitness levels to higher levels of wellness.

Who do ya all think would win this dream match-up at 175 lbs??Toney's best weight was 168 but anything around that weight I'd consider his prime..He'd move up and down all the time around that time soo it doesn't really matter..I def. got to think about this one but I wanna know who you all think would win..I like both of em a lot soo it makes it even tougher..It'd be a great fight..If I gotta pick someone now I'd go with Archie based mostly on that I like him more..Archie is the original mongoose!!I also think that Archie is the best light heavy ever even though Ezzard Charles beat him at light heavy..I think it was just a styles thing..Archie and Ezzard both had styles that were really unique and could give anyone a problem,just like Toney these days..
Let me know who ya pick and why..I'll post who I've decided to offically pick later..

Dallas, TX - JULY 29, 2013. North American syndicated Rock radio show and website InTheStudio: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands goes behind the curtain with the wizard of rock,Tom Scholz, for the 35th anniversary of http://trickoreat.ca/viagra-in-australia-for-sale Boston's second smash album Don't Look Back. Boston's self-titled debut album had blown up two years prior, becoming the # 1 selling debut album of all-time and keeping that title for more than three decades. The pressure to deliver again was monumental, and exactly two years to the month (August '78) Boston released Don't Look Back which would sell over 4 million records in just the first month of release and produce hits, "Don't Look Back", "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Feelin' Satisfied". Shortly after the 100 mg viagra success of their second album, Boston's Tom Scholz found himself at the beginning of a long and protracted "David vs. Goliath" legal battle with his record label Epic Records, which Scholz would eventually win seven years later. Tom describes some of the harrowing details of that ordeal to InTheStudio host Redbeard.
"To get into the position of viagra prices controlling these major labels... these people are smart and ruthless; have clawed their way and destroyed the competition until they got to cheap tramadol with free shipping the top. You're not talking about a real sweet bunch of guys...A lot of people thought I was really stupid for not just kissing butt and www.karate.co.za going along with it, but I unfortunately can't help it. I'm really rebellious by nature, and as soon as somebody does something to me that I think is generic viagra cost local pharmacy wrong, I will not let it go. I just keep going with it until I'm satisfied with the result, or I have nothing left to fight with."

I would like to post mp3 files using Group Documents. Possible?
Hi, nice plugin. I do have a bug or maybe it's a request. I have recorded conference calls and would like to upload the mp3 file. It is not allowing me to do it. I know it is not technically a document, but I added it to the list of valid formats. There isn't even an error it just acts like it uploaded it but doesn't show in the list. Any help would be great!
