Creating Accessible Videos
This information is designed to assist a user in creating an accessible video. While no video is accessible natively, there are a few steps one can take to make their video accessible to help ensure their video is accessible to the widest possible audience.
Most videos are only accessible to hearing and sighted individuals - to create an accessible video that can be experienced by a wider audience you need to address a few key items.
For your video to be accessible by those with limited or no hearing, you must provide video captions, (either closed captions, or open captions) or a transcript of the the video. Captions being preferred as the text of the video will be displayed while viewing the images of the video.
To better ensure your video can be heard by those with limited or no sight, it would be ideal to have a separate audio file of your video in a readily accessible format such as mp3. Depending on where you are hosting your video from, you may already have an accessible player that can be operated with limited or no sight by the use of assistive technology such as a screen reader.
Captioning and Transcripts
The standard way to ensure your video is accessible is to include either captioning or a transcript of the audio for the entire video. It is generally preferred that captions be used to preserve the viewing experience of the video and that transcripts be either provided as an additional resource or if the act of captioning is not possible for some reason. Transcripts are a great resource to add to any video, and can be a great benefit to all persons viewing the video.
There are two types of captions; closed captions, and open captions. Closed captions are the most common in which the text for a video is contained in a separate text file that is overlayed (or displayed) when chosen. Closed captions have a time based code to ensure that the correct text passages appear on screen with the corresponding video scenes. Open captions, are captions that are permanently affixed to the video, in which they are always visible and cannot be turned off. This type of caption is directly embedded as part of the video itself and is therefore not always as desirable as a portion of the screen will be obscured by the text regardless if the captions are needed.
A transcript is a text file that contains all of the spoken audio in the video. Transcripts may or may not contain time stamps but do flow in a linear fashion as to the duration of the video. Transcripts may read as a document, or as an actual script. Each party that is speaking is to be identified prior to their written text, so when read the reader knows which party was saying each portion of the text.
Creating Captions
There are several ways in which captions can be created. Depending on where your video is to be stored and viewed from will determine how you will need to go about creating captions. Due to the complexity of the various ways video can be stored and viewed, we will only cover a few of the more popular methods, but please know that with almost any medium there is an option for captioning, whether that video is stored on a public or private network, or Internet service (such as YouTube) or contained locally on a CD/DVD. It is entirely the creator/owner/author of the video to ensure they have taken the appropriate steps to ensure their video is accessible.
Creating Captions for Videos on YouTube
YouTube has created an automated speech-to-text algorithm that will scan your uploaded video and attempt to produce a machine coded (time stamped) closed caption file. This first automatic pass is rarely accurate but it will give you a head start on creating your captions. The time codes mark where the audio begins and maps it as best it can to the dictionary that YouTube is using. More often than not you will have to edit the captions to reflect the actual spoken words accurately, but in general YouTube does all the heavy lifting for you, all you need to do is edit the text.
Some helpful links to aid in captioning videos for YouTube include:
Understanding captions in YouTube
Adding/Editing Captions and Subtitles in YouTube
Creating Captions with MAGpie (Windows OS only)
At the time of this publication the product MAGpie still exists and is a software application that allows you to control the playback of a video so you may create a closed captions track for the particular video.
Here are instructions on using MAGpie.
Custom Captioning Solutions
Depending on your captioning needs, you may be better off looking to a paid service to do the captioning for you. Many services offer competitive rates by the minute of length of video. These services allow for you to supply them with your videos(s) and then they will provide you with the corresponding captioned files.
Creating Transcripts
One of the most efficient ways to create a video transcript is to prepare ahead of time by formulating a script to be used when creating a video. If you take the time to create a script for a recorded video it will be very beneficial, not only to the participants in the video, but also after the fact as a transcript of the video. If you do not have a script that can be used, or the video is of a source where a script was not possible to create you will then need to create one from scratch.
Using Software to create a transcript
There are many different software packages that allow for the manipulation of video playback so you can create a transcript. You may use a generic video player and utilize the play/pause controls to simply create a text document that contains the audio portion of the video. Or there are other tools on the market (ranging from free to pay for fees) that allow you to more easily control playback while typing.
Here are a few free software packages
If you were able to get automatic captioning performed on a video from YouTube than you can simply download the caption file and create a transcript from the captioning by using a word processor to edit the captions back into readable sentence structures.

The City of Sioux Falls takes the first step in the design process for the new events center.
On Wednesday American Engineering Testing began soil boring out at the future construction site.
Assistant City Engineer Shannon VerHey says they will bore into the ground in about 100 different spots out here. Then they'll test the soil and the rock elevation underneath. VerHey says, "that's gonna allow us to develop and design the foundation for the building and for us that's very important, the foundation is gonna carry the entire weight of the events center."
According to VerHey, after the city receives the results from the borings, they will pass those along to their architect and structural engineer, who will then develop a plan for the foundation.

I'll be live-blogging tech@state's Real-Time Awareness throughout the day. To keep tabs on what's going on, you can check out #techatstate on Twitter, or watch the livestream here: http://www.livestream.com/techstate.
The opening keynote address was given by Craig Fugate, Administrator of FEMA. Fugate discussed the role of social media in disaster response and challenged the conventional wisdom. He led off with a bold statement: "I'm not a big advocate of technology, it's just a tool to me… I'm in the business of trying to change outcomes." His talk then followed those two streams: outcomes and technology as a tool.
Changing Outcomes
Fugate discussed the natural cycle of a disaster, in which things start to get better on their own. People who have been struck don't wait around for the U.S. federal government to swoop in and fix everything. Instead, they start rescue and recovery on their own. As such, you need to ask what outcomes you seek to change by getting involved. For instance, is the outcome you'd like to change the number of survivors?
After Hurricane Katrina, the conventional wisdom was that no one knew the magnitude of the disaster. There is a philosophy that an assessment needs to be performed in order to understand the scope of the disaster and then mobilize assets with precision. Fugute challenged this model, arguing that nothing has changed if a bunch of executives sitting in Washington (with coffee and flush toilets) receive images from the field and explaim "Wow, that's bad." It takes time to mobilize resources and there tends to be a 24 hour window, after which people with non-life-threatening injuries will survive on their own. So, if you waste this 24 hour window conducting an assessment and not mobilizing, you will not change the outcome you seek, if your goal is to save more lives.
Speed, Not Precision
Instead, Fugate argues that it's not precision that matters in emergency response, but rather speed and abundance of responding resources. In a disaster, moving quickly and just being close is good enough. If too many resources are sent, treat the event like an exercise and send the resources home, but don't sit around waiting for an assessment to determine a precise amount of resources, or you will not achieve your goal of saving lives. This is certainly worth considering at a time when the current rhetoric around government contradicts the "more is better" philosophy.
Trust the Public
The other main point Fugate made was that government has traditionally viewed the public as not trustworthy (e.g. they panic in disasters!). Unless you view the public as a resource and not as a liability, social media will not be helpful. Once you do this, the challenge remains: how do you carry on 2 way conversations in a disaster, without traditional 1:1 interactions?
Beware of Fads
Fugate closed with a plea: don't get wrapped around a fad. During Hurricane Andrew, social media wasn't around. In Hurricane Katrina, it barely scratched the surface. Where will we be in 2016? No idea. So, don't focus on the tool of today, but rather on how people communicate. In Haiti, the US entered with a radio broadcast mentality, but quickly discovered that 1:1 communication through texting was by far the most effective means of communication. If we want to help people following a disaster, we need to look at how the people we are trying to help communicate. We need to work to support the needs of survivors, not the other way around.
Views: 149
I totally agree! Excellent points! And Craig Fugate's keynote was right on target!
Great post, and it sounds like a really interesting conference. As people are communicating more and more via social media, disaster response agencies need to adapt to that. What happens when there is a tragedy? The people witnessing post it all over social media, so why not communicate like that. Also, it's an effective way to find out information about the tragedy so it can better be responded to. During 9/11, there were several people liveblogging, which gave a huge amount of insight into exactly what was happening. Eyewitness responses after the event are hardly reliable, but written evidence during it is much more so.

as the night-wind kissed her cheek
He had waited long in silence
Waited long for her to speak.
When at at last she murmered sadly
As she raised her tearful eyes
With a look so full of anguish
That it filled him with surprise.
I have sumoned you my darling
So that I may tell you all
E'er our vows by angels written
Are forever passed recall.
Then she gazed with eager yearning
Gazed upon that face so fair
Till twas stamped upon her memory
Dark brown eyes and raven hair.

Israel and the PA.
Chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat said in response that
he was unaware of any EU plan to revive the stalled peace talks.
He said
that no one has presented the PA leadership with any plan.

The official did not rule out
the possibility that the PA would agree to another round of talks with Israel in

Alright, not very likely unless I live in Africa or fall into an aardvark enclosure in a zoo. But it does get me onto the question of probability. Let's start with an easy one. What are the chances of any two people, out of a group of, say, 23, sharing the same birthday? Give up? It's 50%. That seems sort of counter-intuitive doesn't it? What about a group of 47? Now apart from the fact that 23 and 47 are funny numbers, which probably means there's some tricky maths behind this, which is a bit of a clue, this time the answer is 95%. Amazing! Now before getting on to why this is important, try another one…
Mass poisoning
You are the worst sort of despot and like all tyrants you enjoy a good party. So you order 1000 bottles of the finest champagne. Unfortunately you discover that one of the bottles is poisoned, poisoned with a slow-acting and lethal in the smallest dose, no visible signs sort of poison that kills people stone dead after 12 hours. Luckily you have an unlimited supply of prisoners to use as 'food tasters'. And luckily for them you are not a complete crackpot, so you decide to use the minimum number to check the champagne. What is the smallest number you require to be sure of identifying the poisoned bottle?
Before enlisting the help of a super computer, do you think the answer is a smallish number; a medium sized one, or something that looks like mass murder? Hold that thought.
Probability and risk
What this is all about is that we find it difficult to estimate probability, and in the real world, risk, when we are presented with complex situations. Even people who are in the talking-about-risk business find it difficult. For example, doctors are trained to communicate risks and they do these by using examples. Here's some, try putting them in order from the most probable to the least probable:
- Dying of any cause in the next year
- Needing treatment after an accident with a bed or pillow
- Death by murder
- Being struck by lightening.
Admittedly this is a rather morbid selection, but, and you probably didn't realise it, they are already in the right order (1:100, 1:2000, 1:100000, 1:10000000). But it was difficult, wasn't it? So what's going on? It's that your brain is out of its depth, you just don't know, and that's because you've got no frame of reference; plus you have an unconscious habit of messing about with risk.
Interestingly researchers have found that:
- People exaggerate rare risks and downplay common risks.
- People have problems estimating risks for other than normal situations.
- Personal risks are perceived to be greater than anonymous risks.
- People underestimate risks they choose to take and overestimate risks they can't control.
Risk and business
All this is worth worrying about because probability and risk have a part to play in how people behave in business situations. And how they behave, in particular senior managers, has a critical impact on the health of an organisation. Think about the last point above and the recent banking crisis. In fact all the points probably have a bearing on the financial crunch-mess. The lesson to learn is not to guess when you don't understand the underlying facts or variables, a really important realisation for anyone who tends to conduct business by the seat of their pants. And something we business psychologists look out for when assessing high flyers.
PS: The answer to the poisoning question is 10 food tasters, as long as they take very small sips. With 10 people there are 1024 unique combinations of people and bottles. More than enough to sort out the problem and, fantastic news, each person will have at least a 50% chance of living!
PPS: OK, a despot who was also a mathematical genius could get the figure down to 8 by avoiding the combinations where everyone sips from all the bottles; and those where all but one sip from all the bottles.

Also known as nose surgery, rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the nose and can also correct breathing problems associated with deviations. With more than 240,000 rhinoplasty procedures performed in 2012, nose surgery became the second most performed cosmetic procedure according to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). At his New York practice, Dr. Steven Pearlman regularly performs rhinoplasty for men and women from all over.
There are two techniques, Opened and Closed that can be performed depending on each patient's specific needs and preferences.
Performed under general anesthesia
Allows the surgeon the most visibility throughout the procedure
Incisions made outside of the nose
No chance of visible scarring
Although Dr. Pearlman can safely perform both types of rhinoplasty methods, he prefers the open technique the most because it is more precise and utilizes the cartilage and bone in the nose better throughout the entirety of a rhinoplasty procedure. Dr. Pearlman frequently teaches primary and revision rhinoplasty, which keeps him at the leadingedge of the most up todate techniques that are used for nose surgery.
Some individuals opt to have their rhinoplasty completed without invasive surgery. To perform this type of treatment, fillers such as Restylane® and Radiesse® are injected into the nose to add volume and hide minor imperfections in the nose. Even though this type of procedure works shortterm for some patients, over time the effects are not longlasting like a regular opened or closed nose surgery.
You may choose to undergo a nonsurgical rhinoplasty if you wish to improve the following abnormalities including:
There are many reasons why it is important to be able to breath through the nose efficiently.
Computer Aided
A rhinoplasty can straighten a crooked septum to improve the airways in the nose.
Computer imaging is an excellent resource for viewing possible enhancements that can be made to the nose before a rhinoplasty is actually performed.
Anytime that a rhinoplasty alters the height or width of the bridge of the nose, the internal valve of the nose can also be improved.
Viewing images before a rhinoplasty is performed helps maintain discussion throughout consultations between Dr. Pearlman and his patients.
The size and position of the turbinates in the nose a tremendous effect on the ability to breathe. A rhinoplasty can dramatically improve breathing by correcting the condition of enlarged turbinates.
By viewing the possibilities of changes that can be performed beforehand, computer imaging helps patients attain realistic expectations of what a rhinoplasty can do for them.
A rhinoplasty can correct breathing problems within the nose without altering the overall appearance.>
Dr. Pearlman has been using computer imaging in conjunction with rhinoplasty for over 20 years.
During a consultation with Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, our specialist will examine the inside of the patient's nose. Generally, they will be checking for one or more of the following conditions:
Before a rhinoplasty can be performed, patients should undergo a medical evaluation. Dr. Pearlman may also ask that individuals to refrain from smoking and taking certain medications in the weeks leading up to surgery to ensure a safe and effective procedure.
All rhinoplasty procedures are performed with the patient under general anesthesia. Depending on what areas and problems of the nose need to be corrected will determine which technique (open or closed) is performed during surgery. After Dr. Pearlman reshapes the nose and sculpts it to a more attractive shape the incisions are closed up with sutures.
Once the rhinoplasty is complete, swelling and bruising will be apparent over the next few days. A splint will be used to hold the nose in place and bandages will also be applied. Prescribed medication will be administered to alleviate any pain or discomfort that exists. The sutures will be removed at a later date after the patient meets with Dr. Pearlman during a followup appointment.
When back at home after surgery, it is of the utmost importance that patients follow postoperative instructions throughout the recovery process.
This includes:
As the nose heals over the coming weeks and months, patients can anticipate an improved appearance that will be longlasting. The results of a rhinoplasty procedure are meant to be permanent, although the cartilage in the nose may move over time due to the natural process of aging.
If you have physical imperfections on your nose that you would like to improve or breathing problems that you wish to correct, we encourage you to get in touch with Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery. To schedule your initial consultation call (212) 2238300 or fill out our online contact form today. Dr.Pearlman is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and looks forward to helping you achieve a nose that is in better harmony with the rest of your face.
Answers to frequently asked questions about the procedure
Eyelids can look "tired" from a number of reasons. The more common ones are bags under the lower eyelids, excess skin of the upper and/or lower eyelids and drooping of the eyebrows. You don't have any of these.
Your eyelids slant downward towards the sides; the corner where the upper and lower eyelids meet (called the canthus) is lower towards your ears than near your nose. There are a number of surgical techniques that can be used to raise the lateral canthus. Sometimes, there may be some hollowness of the bone of the eye socket as well. This is also treatable. Seek out a surgeon who is versed in this procedure for a more definitive discussion.
A: A rhinoplasty will last for the rest of your life. However, even a nose that has undergone a rhinoplasty ages like the rest of your face and body. As we age, the nose begins to droop. After a rhinoplasty they will age from where they were after the procedure. The procedures we do for an aging nose is often more subtler than a formal rhinoplasty.
A mini-facelift of today was the maxi-facelift of 2 decades ago. Mini or maxi, best to discuss with your doctor. There are many definitions of what a mini-facelift is. For some it's a shorter incision, for other doctors its less work on the muscle called the SMAS. The technique depends more on the doctor's skill and your anatomy. For a patient in their early 40's, you often don't need the same deep plane facelift that someone in their 50's or above might need. Most of these procedures address your jowls.
A: Performing both a quality septoplasty and rhinoplasty is dependent on the individual's training and experience. Generally, facial plastic surgeons start with ENT training before they move on to facial plastic surgery. Although they are not formally trained, many plastic surgeons can also be experience and qualified to perform septoplasty procedures. The main focal point should be how much training they have received and how much experience do they have performing the procedures together and separately. There are subtle signs that could indicate if the proposed surgeon is right for you:

Best of the 'Rugged' Cameras!
by J-Caywood on June 10, 2011
Pros: + Outstanding exposure balance
+ Battery life was great
+ The burst shooting works amazingly well for a P&S
+ Excellent color balance. Images are not over-saturated
+ There is comparatively little barrel distortion when close to subjects
Cons: - Accurate and rapid focusing is poor
- The macro feature is especially frustrating
Summary: I purchased this camera as an upgrade from my Fuji xp10. I also bought an xp30 and the Panasonic consistently blows it away.

Summary: I purchased this camera as an upgrade from my Fuji xp10. I also bought an xp30 and the Panasonic consistently blows it away.
GPS: First sat aquisition takes a while, that is to be expected. After than in clear view (no trees, etc) I have gotten quick consistent signals in Hawaii and decent signals in Washington. Hawaii is much better as would be expected because there are more available sat's the closer to the equator. If you are expecting performance on par with your Garmin device, you will be disappointed. If you are expecting the tiny gps sensor to work under most reasonable circumstances, then you will be pleased. The GPS data on the display screen is a nice bonus but again, don't fool yourself into expecting dedicated gps device performance.
Underwater camera: I've snorkeled in 75 degree salt water for four days in a row for not less than 3 hours. In clear water the underwater pictures are amazing. I never got anything close to this quality out of the XP10 and it is a good camera. It completely blows the XP30 away. The full 1080 movies underwater are also excellent, though to be fair I've only watched them on the 720 laptop screen. The camera has gotten a rinse in fresh water after each ocean bath and plenty of time to air dry. So far very good. I can't say enough about how much better the images are from this device.
Battery: yet another custom sized battery and accompying charger. I'm not going to pick on companies for having a custom sized battery too much, but for my sanity, please just make the darn camera charge over a standard usb plug. I see how having a seperate charger coudl allow me to run with one and charge another but really, the battery life is very good (2-3 hours of actual snorkeling with the camera on all the time and still only using about 60% of the battery.
Outdoor picture quality: Good. lots and lots of specific modes (everything from portrait, to sunset, to fireworks, etc..) good enough general use that I left the canon SX100 at home but I do miss the 10x zoom. I'm willing to trade off the zoom for the one device and the massive improvement in ruggedness.
Haven't done much indoor shooting yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if this camera gives up a little bit in that side of things. There are LOTS of good cameras for shooting indoors, but there aren't many that you can take snorkeling in the morning, drop on the gravel road loading up the car, and then rise and dunk into a snowbank in the evening. This camera impresses me more every day of vacation. I brought the xp10 as a backup but it hasn't even gotten out of the suitcase.
*** P.S. If you will buy this Camera I suggest you have compare price before you decide at: www.amazon.com/gp/*************?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%****%2Foffer-listing%2FB004KKZ0KG%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Ddp_olp_new_map%26condition%3Dnew%23&tag=***************&********=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

Camera Leaks, and the Warranty Department is AWFUL!
by emdlang2 on January 12, 2012
Pros: Color? The screen is nice....
Cons: Lens fogs up with temperature change
Camera Leaks
Warrenty Department is BAD
Wrist Strap broke after little use... luckily not IN the water

Summary: I purchased this camera last summer for its rugged and waterproof features. I noticed immediately that the pictures weren't the best quality. And that, when I took it underwater, the temperature change caused the lens to fog, making it impossible to move the camera in and out of the water for a clear picture.
After about one month of use, the macro button stopped working. Because they do not provide a phone number for the warrenty office, I sent it in as instructed. They did NOT contact me upon reciept of the product. In fact I had to contact them repeatedly during the TWO MONTHS that they kept the camera waiting for parts from Japan.
FINALLY they sent in back to be in September, after replacing parts. And the button still didn't work. So I called the office and talked my way up to the head of the warrenty department. She informed me that I was on the wrong setting. The camera was never broken in the first place.
Now maybe you can blame me for not pouring over the manual detail by detail. But I would think a technican in the warranty department would have noticed that BEFORE replacing parts.
Anyways, I got the camera back and took it on vacation to the Bahamas. I took it in the water and.... the screen froze. I opened the battery compartment and found water in there. I mean, I was snorkeling like 2 feet deep for 15 minutes! I thought maybe it was a fluke but experimentation proved me wrong. It leaks.
So much for waterproof. So now I have sent it back to the warranty department. I probably wont see the camera for another two months and will have to deal with the warrenty personnel again and there TERRIBLE communication skills.
Don't BUY!

User interface way too complicated and poorly designed.
by Gfive5 on September 9, 2012
Pros: Waterproof feature has worked well for me both underwater and in the desert (keeping out dust), although the buttons need to be bigger so its easier to use underwater.
Cons: User interface way too complicated and poorly designed.
Summary: The poorly written user manual only exacerbates the problem. Very frustrating to use this camera. Often, I have to resort to Google to find out how to use the camera. ...
Summary: The poorly written user manual only exacerbates the problem. Very frustrating to use this camera. Often, I have to resort to Google to find out how to use the camera. For example, the camera settings are not all in one place. They are dispersed in a number of different places in the software, making it very hard to remember how to use it. I had a photographer friend help me once to figure out how to play back videos. It took him 15 minutes!

Summary: I was happy with this camera until I took it on a snorkel trip (the reason I bought it). I am usually good with researching my purchases but guess I didn't dig far enough on this one to see that the waterproof capabilities are not as good as they claim....
I was snorkeling in the Caribbean for approx 30 minutes going no deeper than 4-5m as I had a vest on, when the screen went fuzzy and stopped working... I was nowhere near the 1hr / 20m underwater limit.... I am sending it in for repair, but find it rather crappy that I have to pay for the shipping and handling to a 3rd party Ontario to get it there!... will advise what happens...
A great little camera that can
by darielq on May 30, 2012
Pros: Good picture colors
Good grip, sturdy enough handstrap
Comes with detailed instructions for underwater use
Available in orange, a color that's easy to spot if you drop it in the reef
TS4/FT4 comes with manual mode (got both TS3 and TS4)
Focuses fast
Cons: Noisy in low light
Somewhat weak flash (but that turned out to be something of an advantage)
Shutter lag
Prone to fogging with temperature change
The design of the battery/card port locks could be improved

Summary: My wife and I bought the TS3, and later a TS4, for our vacation in Coron, Palawan. We took a variety of shots with them, from available-light food in a restaurant's patio during a very cloudy day, to landscapes, to underwater, both snorkeling and scuba diving. We followed all the precautions in the advanced user's manual, and had no problems. I almost didn't buy this camera because of negative user reviews, but as it seemed the best of those on offer I took the plunge. I'm glad I did.
Some points I think that may help users:
- The camera really needs to have its temperature equalized with the water before using it. We soaked ours in fresh water before diving, and then again after to prevent salt build up.
- When cleaning the camera's battery port with a brush, tilt the cam so dust falls out, not in.
- While the camera is supposedly rated to 40 feet, we noticed the LCD starting to compress at about 36 feet. I would recommend staying above 30 feet when using it to be sure.
- Try to use the lowest ISO possible. I got pretty good results at ISO 200, with flash on, at depths of 20-30 feet, on a cloudy day. (by saying pretty good, I mean the pics were bright and detailed enough - I still had to do some color correction after)
- I do not recommend keeping this camera in your pocket, specially if you're going snorkeling or diving, or to use in any other wet place. The reason is the lock on the side just might be disengaged accidentally as it rubs against your garment
Great rugged camera, but GPS isn't ready for prime time
by Praxlus on March 19, 2012
Pros: * Really tough
* Available in brilliant, hard to lose colours
* Fairly fast (response time and shot to shot lag)
* Compact
* Great colour reproduction with flash
Cons: * GPS not ready for prime time
* ISO colour noise even at 100 ISO (Contrast Noise isn't bad)
* Slow start-up
* Manual does't really talk about the GPS operation much
* All pictures are a tone magenta
* Lack of manual override
Summary: The reason I bought the TS3 was for the ruggedness and the GPS. Great, at least it did the rugged perfectly; the screen does get easily scratched, so watch that....
Summary: The reason I bought the TS3 was for the ruggedness and the GPS. Great, at least it did the rugged perfectly; the screen does get easily scratched, so watch that.
The GPS, unlike a phone, which has aGPS, does not get assistance from cell towers or WiFi. That mean when you have less than perfect signal, such as in a city core, you are reported as being on the other side of town. Worse yet, it reports the last know location, so if you don't get crystal clear lock, it may report you as where you were a few days ago. One last thing about the GPS, time doesn't update either unless you get a lock.
The camera does focus quite fast, not like a DSLR, but not bad. The lens is rather soft, even at Facebook quality, so unless it is really bright or you use a flash, don't expect to blow it much past a 8x10. As I mentioned before, unless you use a flash, it goes a light tinge of purple, but we're nitpicking now.
The batter is rather small, not lasting for more than a day touristy happy snapping and videos, but charges quite fast.
So all in all a great fun camera. Around kids, water, bars or anywhere you don't bring your good camera, that's where the TS3 thrives.
Loved the camera (the two weeks it lasted)

Summary: I loved the camera when I first got it, took great pictures, fast switch to a take a video, it was waterproof... Good for my $400 CDN price tag. I took the girlfriend to Mexico and had this with me everywhere. It took great video and pictures in the cenotes (caves), until half way through the trip I noticed I couldn't see a damn thing when shooting in the caves or even a low light setting. The camera didn't see anywhere near a 6.6ft drop, or even half that. It was just in it's case in my backpack, probably a little shuffling and bumping, but nothing severe. I was pretty disappointed since it was taking great footage of the caves, and then suddenly had terrible performance. I shook the camera and could hear something rattling. I was now pretty upset that my "rugged" camera seemed to be made out of glass.
Upon getting home, I took it back to Future Shop and was basically told to stick it somewhere since I bought it more than 30 days ago. I usually buy extended service but after hearing testimonials from friends who bought the same camera, I thought I would pass. Karma. So I contacted Panasonic who offers a one year warranty and they agreed to send it for repair. About a month after contacting Panasonic, I had received the camera back from the repair facility claiming the sound was from the camera's OIS and no issue was found. I was fuming, after all the e-mails and trouble of shipping it cross country to get repaired, it came back untouched. I immediately contacted Panasonic again and they informed me the rattle is the Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) as stated, and will go away when turned on. The electro-magnets hold it in place when powered up. Odd, it didn't do that when I bought it. But it still doesn't explain the lack of low-light pictures and video. I asked if I could simply mail the camera back and receive a replacement. No harm there, I have a lemon and would like a different one that can perform like a $400 point and shoot. That's when the e-mails stopped. No replies. Thanks a lot Panasonic.
Coming from a guy who works in the quality control department of a major construction group. Meaning we take a lot of photos in the field as part of the job. When I first got this camera, I was amped to get these cameras put in the hands of all our technicians (we have a lot of technicians). But after this fiasco, I'll make certain our entire company steers clear of any Panasonic camera. Panasonic's lack of customer support cost them a couple thousand in sales from one case alone. Good work. Garbage camera, and garbage customer support.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (12/13/13) – Three Western Kentucky University students have been awarded funding through the U.S. Department of State Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program to participate in study abroad programs around the globe in Spring 2014.
Paige Hughart, a sophomore majoring in Biology and Cultural Anthropology from Roseville, Mich., will be studying Biology at Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey from early February until mid May.
Hughart was especially interested in studying abroad in Turkey.
"I plan to become an osteopathic physician," Hughart said. "I am excited about this study abroad program because the Turkish lifestyle relates to many of the beliefs in osteopathy."
Andrew Miller, a junior majoring in Arabic, History and Middle Eastern and North Africa Studies from Georgetown, Ky., will be participating in an Arabic immersion program at the Center for International Learning in Oman. The scholarship will cover his cost of living, tuition and will put him closer to his undergraduate degree in Arabic.
Miller is interested in the Arabic culture, language and history of the Middle East.
"I will be involved in an intensive Arabic program," he said. "The program has a rigorous schedule. I'll also be studying the history of Oman. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to go into the city each day to implement the Arabic skills I have learned and will learn while there."
Andre Williams, a senior majoring in Public Health from Owensboro, Ky., will be participating in the Spanish immersion Sol for Education Abroad program in Heredia, Costa Rica.
Williams plans to become a public health educator, working specifically with the Latino community. This Spanish language immersion program will prepare him for his career.
"I am interested in the Spanish Immersion program because not only is it a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience another culture, but learning Spanish in today's society is a must especially in the healthcare field," Williams said.
He credits the Office of Scholar Development with his success in the Gilman Scholarship application process.
"The Office of Scholar Development has helped me tremendously with the Gilman Scholarship process from helping me find the scholarship to coaching me through the essay writing process," said Williams.
Students who are interested in the Gilman Scholarship work with Cheryl Kirby-Stokes, coordinator of nationally competitive opportunities for the Office of Scholar Development. With OSD, students are offered one-on-one advising sessions to craft their applications. Additionally, the Office of Study Abroad and Global Leadership (SAGL) worked with the students to find the right academic program abroad, helping them to have life changing international experiences.
"It was a pleasure working with each of these students, and I look forward to hearing about their successes while abroad," Kirby-Stokes said. "Helping students find ways to achieve their big dreams is something I love to do."
The deadline for Gilman scholarship applications for Summer and Fall 2014 programs is March 1. Kirby-Stokes said it is essential to begin the application process early, choosing a program and writing application essays. Contact Study Abroad and Global Learning at (270) 745-5334 and Kirby-Stokes at (270) 745-4191 for advising appointments.
The Gilman Scholarship Program offers awards for undergraduate study abroad and was established by the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000. This scholarship provides awards for U.S. undergraduate students who are receiving Federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or university to participate in study and intern abroad programs worldwide.
About the Office of Scholar Development: The Office of Scholar Development (OSD) works with students and their mentors to build research and creative agendas, helps students identify appropriate national and international scholarship opportunities, and provides intensive writing support throughout the application process. For information, follow OSD on Twitter: @WKU_OSD and on Facebook. OSD welcomes the opportunity to work with students interested in the Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship or other similar opportunities.

Haynesworth Released by the Patriots.
BREAKING: The Patriots have released DT Albert Haynesworth, I'm reporting. Wow.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 8, 2011
Patriots waived DT Albert Haynesworth. The Boston Globe's Greg Bedard pointed out Monday night that Haynesworth turned in three of the worst plays ever seen by a defensive tackle in Week 9. Haynesworth got "ragdolled easy," pancaked, and then fell down with a soft shove against the Giants, leading to a sideline confrontation with DL coach Pepper Johnson. Haynesworth still has the talent to excel, but his heart isn't it. It will be interesting to see if Eagles DL coach Jim Washburn, who had Haynesworth in Tennessee, will push for a waiver claim.

An associate dean and professor at the University of Virginia is behind bars. Michael Morris is at the center of a child pornography investigation. Morris is facing at least one count of distribution of, or receiving, child pornography.
According to court documents, Morris' illicit internet activity dates back to 2012. Court documents say Morris logged into a child porn site 192 times from his home on Bargamin Loop in Crozet between January 3 of this year and October 28. The documents also allege he accessed a child porn sharing site at least once using his UVA email address.
The FBI raided Morris' home in Crozet Wednesday, and now neighbors are reacting. The FBI raid took place Wednesday morning, and by that same afternoon Morris was in front of a judge in federal court.
The allegations have Morris' neighbors stunned. "It's a shock. It's really just a shock," said Felisa Needham, a neighbor.
Neighbors say FBI agents arrested Morris Wednesday morning and searched his house until about noon. "A gentleman was carrying big white boxes and I thought perhaps they were files or something - and a suitcase," said Alice Dornemann, a neighbor.
Neighbors say it was an unlikely scene for what they call an ideal place to raise children. "We didn't have any problems until that occurred and that was upsetting because it's a very nice community," said Dornemann.
Thursday, we knocked on Morris' door, but no one wanted to comment on the allegations.
Neighbors with small children say this has been an eye opener. "It makes me cautious and it makes me just wonder what else is there about our neighbors that we don't know about," said Needham.
UVA spokesperson McGregor McCance says the university is cooperating with the investigation and that Morris has been suspended from his job pending completion of the investigation.
Morris is being held without bond and will be back in Charlottesville Federal Court for a counsel status hearing on November 14. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for November 18 in Harrisonburg.

"The BMW 5 Series is brilliant to drive, economical, comfortable and practical, and one of the best executive cars around."
The BMW 5 series has been about since 1972 and is now in its sixth generation. In the past it has developed a reputation for being the best large executive car on the market thanks to excellent build quality, comfort and performance. The current model has just been treated to a mild facelift to give the car a fresher look.
With a huge range of engines on offer it should be easy to get a 5 Series that has the balance of performance and economy you are looking for. Even the 520d diesel (the most popular variant) is pretty quick for a basic model and can also get some impressive economy figures. There are more powerful diesels to choose from, too, and an excellent range of petrol engines, which culminate in the awesome BMW M5 performance saloon, a car that good touch 200mph if it wasn't electronically limited. Buyers looking for extra grip can also spec the 5 Series with four-wheel drive.
Body styles range from the saloon to the BMW 5 Series Touring Estate and the five-door coupe, called the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo. Trim levels include SE, Modern, M Sport, and Luxury. All models get sat-nav, a leather interior, climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a digital radio.
MPG, running costs & CO2
Superbly efficient diesel engines make the 5 Series one of the most efficient cars in class
BMW has ensured that there are plenty of frugal models in the 5 Series range to appeal to company car buyers - the basic BMW 518d can get 62.8mpg and low emissions for road tax of £30 annually. The more expensive 520d is even cheaper to run, with economy of 69mpg and road tax of just £30 per year.. The firm also offers a range of powerful six-cylinder diesel engines. The 530d model comes close to 60mpg while getting from 0-60mph in less than 6 seconds.
The diesels offer the best balance between performance and economy, but the petrol engines are still decent and the basic model can return 44mpg. The super-quick BMW M5 won't get more than 28.5mpg.
Interior & comfort
More comfortable than ever before
With a stylish and well-built interior, the BMW 5 Series provides an excellent driving environment and comes fitted with luxuries such as a leather interior and sat-nav, though the interior of the rival Audi A6 is arguably even better. For the ultimate in fuss-free motoring we would also recommend getting the car with BMW's excellent eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The new car also features a track pad that allows you to write instructions into the cars infotainment system and can be ordered with an auto-drive function that takes the pain out of driving on congested motorways.
In the old BMW 5 Series, BMW helped pioneer the use of run-flat tyres (they allow you to drive for a limited time with a puncture), but the car's suspension felt firm as a result. The technology is much more refined now, though, and the result is that the new model is more comfortable than the old one.
Practicality & boot space
Interior and boot are both very spacious
There's no shortage of passenger space in the BMW 5 Series, and there is plenty of head and legroom in the back, although the transmission tunnel that runs down the centre of the floor does eat into legroom for the middle rear-seat passenger.
Boot space is also pretty decent at 520 litres, but it is less than you get in a Jaguar XF and a Mercedes E-Class. Also, rear seats that fold down are a cost option, but they do free up 1,670 litres of space if you choose to order them. The 5 Series also gets plenty of cubbyholes for storing bits and pieces including large door bins and a glovebox that is cooled by the car's air-conditioning.
Reliability & safety
Both reliability and safety should prove to be first class
There should be no worries with the reliability of the BMW 5 Series and the model jumped seven places in our 2014 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey to finish in fourth place behind a trio of Skodas. The car scored highly in all areas, apart from practicality, and came 24th of 150 cars for reliability. In the process it finished ahead of all of its direct rivals.
Safety is equally as strong for the BMW and it got a five-star rating from Euro NCAP. It gets the full range of airbags and stability control, while options include a lane departure warning system, and a HUD (Head Up Display), which projects information such as sat-nav directions and speed on to the windscreen.
Engines, drive & performance
The 5 Series is the best car to drive in its class
The BMW 5 Series has the best handling in its class, with hardly any body lean in the corners, plenty of grip, and steering that inspires confidence going round bends. The optional adaptive dampers are an expensive, but worthwhile option and allow you to tailor the car's suspension to your needs.
No BMW 5 Series is slow and the 520d offers an excellent balance of performance and economy. It can return more than 60mpg, while getting from 0-60mpg in less than 8 seconds on the way to a top speed of more than 145mph.
Price, value for money & options
Standard equipment is decent and entry-level engines offer best value
It may not be a cheap car to buy, but the BMW 5 Series does offer excellent residual values, so should hold onto its value better than some rivals when it comes to trading the car in. BMW servicing will also cost more than a mainstream manufacturer's, but the company does offer a servicing package at extra cost, which covers the car's maintenance for five years or 50,000 miles. All models also get a three-year unlimited mileage warranty.
You can go for four levels of trim – SE, Modern, Luxury and M Sport. But, as basic SE models get leather seats, Bluetooth connectivity, climate control, alloy wheels, a digital radio, sat-nav and cruise control, we would be tempted to spec an SE model with one of the cheaper engines. Higher spec models can get quite pricy and make the 5 Series expensive compared to models such as the Jaguar XF.
What the others say
"Elegant, grown up and supremely efficient, the 5-series is a major stepping stone in man's climb from primeval soup to intelligent master race."
"While BMWs have always been renowed for handling they have often been criticised for having an uncomfortable ride. But this 5 Series has no such issues."
"BMW's most profitable model is now also its most well rounded. The firm has addressed key criticisms without ruining the strengths of the old car, and wrapped it up in a successful new body with subtle detailing that grows on you."
"Drives brilliantly, economical diesels and well made, but optional dampers needed, it's common sight and has bland looks."

Reading Partners Charleston
About Us
Today, 4 out of 5 South Carolina fourth graders from low-income families cannot read at grade level. Last year, 24% of freshman at North Charleston High School were reading at or below a fourth grade level. Without strong literacy skills, Charleston's outlook for the future is bleak.
Reading Partners is committed to ensuring that Charlestonians can look forward to a bright future. Working closely with Charleston County School District leaders, the philanthropic community, and families, Reading Partners serves nine Title I elementary schools across Charleston County. We currently work with over 400 students thanks to over 500 community volunteers who give their time every week to ensure success for these budding young readers. Our goal over the next two years is to reach 1,000 students in Charleston.
As we all know, every day is "Giving Day" at Reading Partners, it is evident in our AmeriCorps members, our students, and our volunteers who give their valuable time every day to improve literacy in the Lowcountry.
Help us Build Our Team of Literacy Champions for the
1,000 Readers Campaign
On May 6, 2014 we participated in a nationwide Day of Giving to celebrate 100 years of Community Foundations. Thanks to the generous contributions of our lowcountry supporters, Reading Partners Charleston received $43,545 in gifts that will go directly toward providing programming to help more students in the Charleston community succeed in reading.
At Reading Partners we know that everyday is a "giving day," and we thank our supporters for creating the opportunity for a truly transformative day.

I really do not know.
Got this knife from my father, who got it from his father (my grandfather, whose pocket knife it was), many, many years ago.

After two young students have been left on Harrison County School busses within recent weeks, the superintendent is outraged.
"What to say? I don't know what to say," said a frustrated Henry Arledge, the Harrison County School District Superintendent.
The driver and driver's aid were both fired after the first child was left. A new check policy was also put into place.
According to Arledge, at the start of the route, drivers have to put a card in the back of the bus, and retrieve it at the end of the route. That way, drivers have to walk the bus and check it for any students.
However, last Monday another student was left asleep on the bus.
"The bus driver didn't check the bus to see if the students had gotten off at school, and the school thought the child was absent," said Arledge.
When the child woke up and found himself alone, he stayed on the bus for nearly five hours. The first grader was discovered when the driver returned to the bus for her afternoon routes.
That driver was also fired. The superintendent says there's no excuse. He says drivers are screened and trained, and repeatedly told to check the busses for children.
"I think it's carelessness. I don't know what else to say. She just didn't check and that's her responsibility to check," said Arledge.
The district is responsible for 14,000 students, 9,000 of which ride the busses each day. The district has around 200 busses that run 250 to 300 routes.
According to Arledge, the district usually has problems with the younger elementary kids falling asleep on the bus.
Arledge says he may start requiring principals to check busses on their campus each day. The district is also looking into a call system to check with parents if a child isn't in class.
Newer busses are equipped with an alarm that has an off switch in the back of the bus. It will buzz until the driver walks to the back and turns it off. This could be another option for the district, but Arledge says it would be expensive to upgrade the bus fleet.

Fated to be hated
This is mildly off-topic as it is not directly Blazer related, but this guy is one of the best sportswriters in the business and he raises an interesting question. How much will the Miami Heat be hated? Will it be a fleeting hate or have staying power? Could it approach our L*kers hate? My initial reaction is I could never hate a team more than the L*kers. Then, I ask myself "what team would you root for in a Lakers-Heat finals?" I start to let L... roll off my tongue and then my head explodes. What teams besides the L*kers and Heat do you hate? I suspect Jazz management thinks it's them. Does anybody out there think, "Well, if the Blazers don't win it this year... I hope the Heat get a trophy for Lebron to put in the Taj Mabron?"

October 3, 2006
Albany -- If you've visited downtown Albany in the evening, you've probably seen skaters in the parking deck or on sidewalks, but have you ever seen them in the skate park built specifically for them?
One City Commissioner is concerned the project, which cost about a half million dollars, was a waste.
Albany Riverskate is closed on Tuesdays. But even if it were open, you might not see much of a difference in attendance. "Five, six kids at best. We don't do nothing. That's why we're not open all week," says Skatepark Operator Kevin Jones.
Jones leased the park from the city, in hopes he would turn a profit. "It's a challenge. It's a challenge to get the kids in here. We want to be open as much as we possibly can, but at the same time we want to be open and turn a profit."
He is, but not by much. It certainly isn't enough for him to quit his full-time job. "The problem of the location is we're here by ourselves, we're not close to anything."
The park is only open four days a week, and excluding Saturdays only three to five kids per day ever pass through this gate.
"I'm very disappointed about the attendance of the skatepark," said Commissioner Bo Dorough, who opposed the skatepark from the beginning. "It was an investment of about half a million dollars. I had concerns at the time the city allocated those funds and obviously we need to do more, if possible, to increase attendance and participation at the skatepark."
But since the city gave the money to pay for it, he's not giving up on its success. "Now that we have it, we need to do whatever we can to increase participation," said Dorough.
And Jones says he's working on that, holding competitive events, some of which have drawn crowds of about 200 kids. "I don't think it's a waste of taxpayer dollars. I think it gives the kids a place to come and stay out of trouble and a good safe place to be."
Even if that place, right now, isn't quite as popular as he had hoped. The skate park opened in January. Kevin Jones hopes to do more advertising and event planning to draw larger crowds.

Fluids (Through an IV) Question
View Single Post
Andy Resnick
Jun7-11, 08:32 AM
Sci Advisor
Quote by
There's a lot in your post I don't understand- maybe you can help walk me through it:
Quote by
Poiseuille flow, while the correct flow for this situation, is not needed to solve this problem. You don't need to know the velocity profile at a given point in the tubing or needle to know the flow rate, adn that is what Poiseuille flow gives you.
I agree Poisueille flow may not be the only way to solve the problem. I also agree that one does need velocity to calculate a flow rate: for example, [itex] Q = \frac{\pi \mu R}{2 \rho}Re[/itex], where Re is the Reynolds number.
Quote by
If you hold velocity constant (and density is obviously constant), doubling [itex]D[/itex] quadruples the mass flow rate. After all, the formula for area only depends on [itex]D^2[/itex], so doubling [itex]D[/itex] gives you a factor of 4, not 16.
I don't see this. The elementary result, [itex] Q = \frac{\pi R^{4}}{8 \mu}\nabla P[/itex] clearly has a 4-th power dependence on R.
Quote by
This is, in fact, one of the pressures that can be used to answer this problem. It is dependent on the velocity of the fluid at that point plus the static pressure.
I don't follow this either- pressure, which is part of the overall stress tensor, depends on the velocity *gradient*, not the velocity. Clearly, uniform motion of a fluid should not alter the internal pressure of the fluid (in the region where v is constant). The results of measurements in any inertial frame are the same.
Quote by
I promise you, Bernoulli's equation absolutely applies to get that and is used all the time.
I think Bernoulli's equation could probably be used as well.
Quote by
So, what does this simplified system mean? It means you can ignore the velocity going through the system. And only worry about the pressure from the reservoir and the exit pressure. As you stated, the exit pressure is fixed. The pressure of the reservoir, however, is entirely determined by two things: height of the reservoir and atmospheric and other external pressures. It has nothing to do with the amount of fluid in the bag or the number of bags hooked up. It only depends on the highest point the fluid reaches above the exit. In other words, the only way to increase the pressure without changing the diameter of the tubes or the needle is to either lift the bag higher or squeeze it (either with your hands or an external pressure of some kind, it doesn't matter).
Let me make sure I understand- we are talking about the pressure at a specific point- the needle inlet? Because I can change the column height of fluid by adding or removing fluid to/from the bag- that should not be in dispute, either.
Quote by
The combined mass flow allowed by the stopcocks was simply lower than the maximum allowed by the tubes,
I don't understand what you mean by "maximum (flow) allowed by the tubes". Is there some upper limit? What sets this limit? The flow rate through a tube doesn't admit an absolute maximum- if I double the pressure gradient, I double the flow rate. There is some limit when turbulent flow is reached (say, Re = 4000 and higher), but that's not what we are talking about, AFAIK.
Quote by
You can show that the force on a differential element is:
[tex]dp = -\rho g \; dy[/tex]
If you integrate this from the fluid element of interest (the exit plane in our case) to the very top surface of the fluid in the reservoir (meaning the heighest point of fluid in the control volume), you get:
[tex]\Delta p = -\rho g \Delta h[/tex]
Ah- I think this is the problem. The pressure at both the top surface and the bottom surface is atmospheric pressure. This causes a lot of confusion- the pressure at the exit plane of the needle is atmospheric pressure. The pressure at the top of the reservoir is also atmospheric pressure. So what we really have is the pressure from the top of the reservoir to the needle inlet is [itex]\Delta p = -\rho g \Delta h[/itex], which 'h' taken as negative (since the pressure at the needle is *higher* than the pressure at the top free surface), and the pressure (over atmospheric) along the needle is given by [itex]\Delta p = \rho g \Delta h/l * x[/itex], where 'x' is the distance along the needle (and varies from 0 to l, the length of the needle)- I may have reverse the sense of direction within the needle.
Quote by
Of course, this is a hydrostatics example. For this problem, we need a moving fluid. Enter Bernoulli's equation, which has the same form as the hydrostatic equation, only including motion terms. If we look at the same two points at the top of the reservoir where the velocity is zero and at the exit of the needle
You lost me- Why is the velocity zero? Fluid is draining from the reservoir- the top surface is moving down.

Imagine raising your infant or toddler without diapers. Advocates say it is better for the children, but some experts say it could do more harm than good.
"It just made logical sense. If you can figure out when your baby needs to go, then why should the baby go in the diaper. Why not the toilet or potty?" says Melinda Rothstein.
these massachusetts moms, Melinda Rothstein and Rachel Milgroom, are practicing an ancient technique called "elimination communication".
"They are born giving us signals. We just have to learn how to recognize them. Some of the signs would be a certain cry that the baby would make, " says Rachel Milgroom.
"Hannah will kick her feet or start verbalizing more. Or if she's laying down she'll kind of start swinging side to side," adds Melinda Rothstein.
With a little help 5 1/2 month old Hannah sits on the potty. She's been doing this since she was only days old.
These "Diaper Free" moms believe it's better for the environment and for their child.
"The same as we wouldn't want to be sitting in waste neither would a baby if given the opportunity," says Rachel Milgroom.
(reporter stand-up: dr. Deanna lites)
A well known doctor, T. Berry Brazelton, a pediatrician who's written the book on potty training thinks looking for signs is more about training the mom not the baby. He says passing up diapers may take an important developmental step away from your child."
"Each step in a design step-like process of showing a child and letting them take over each step themselves. If you do it that way then when it happens the child feels i did it my self," says Dr. Brazelton.
He also thinks potty training too soon may be too much pressure on baby.
"All of a sudden later it crops up. Uh,, I'm not quite so sure i want to do this for mommy anymore. I'm negative right now. And so they hold back their b-m's or they wet the bed long-term, longer than they would have." adds Brazelton.
While the "Diaper Debate" continues these moms admit their babies do have accidents but say they've seen amazing results.
