Red, black and white demask 40th cake
Ok so this was my very first attempt at the marvelous molds from 2 weekends ago. It was so time consuming seeing as my fondant roller was broken and I could not quite get the right thickness to work. I think I spent about 7 hours on just the damask as I ended up pulling that tier apart in the wee hours of morning due to an air bubble.
Long story short is that even after ripping fondant off and re-doing another air bubble appeared about an hour before delivery and seeing a I had quite a drive and about 10 speed humps to get over my cake had a huge bulge in the back upon delivery.I was almost in tears after all the hard work and conscious effort to fix a problem to only have it come back with no way of fixing it just about killed me. I have never had one do this before so still today have no answers to my problem.
I always treat my clients like I would like to be treated so I refunded some of the money as I could not stand myself if I had not. People pay good money for these type of cake sand so therefor should get that also upon delivery.
Anyone who has any advice on my problem I would love to hear it as I apprecite any guidance I get from my wonderful cake friends who are morel like my family. Big hugs

Our movie makers
Our talented Grade 6 students used iMovie to create a School Promotional Video.
Music Enrichment
During Term 3, a group of Grade 4, 5 and 6 children participated in a Music Enrichment Class that took place every Friday for 5 weeks with Mrs Boer. The students learnt songs arranged by Jon Madin who is an expert in Marimba Music and community performances based on Orff Schulwerk music. Tess Porz is a talented singer who assisted the group throughout the program. The music performed, combined the sounds of marimbas, xylophones, glockenspiels, recorders and some very beautiful singing voices. On Thursday the 18th September the students celebrated their achievements by performing to parents, staff and the students of N.W.N.P.S. Congratulations to all participants on a most successful concert!
On Wednesday 17th of September 16 students from Narre Warren North Primary School attended the Divisional Athletics at Casey Fields.

That's precisely the point. The checkbox makes you authenticate on wake-from-sleep AND the screensaver. I've always found that annoying. I only want to authenticate on wake-from-sleep. (Actually, what I really want is my screensaver to come on after 10 minutes, but I want the password dialog only if I'm away for an hour.)

These guys aren't exactly breaking new ground. And if you're one of those people who have nothing good to say about the current state of music, and haven't for the last decade, you're not apt to like Buffalo Beard (due this Saturday, April 26, at the Larimer Lounge). But if you're a little more forgiving and you like a nice melodic hook in your songs, this Colorado Springs-based outfit has the goods. Even though it's only been around for about six months, Buffalo Beard has managed to write some impressively polished and catchy pop songs with surprisingly delicate emotional colorings. The glistening guitar sheens and insistent rhythms bring a sweetly melancholic flavor to the band's overall tone, much like the Chills interpreted through the lens of the Shins.

Talk about an expensive dog treat.
According to Albuquerque (N.M.) television station KOB TV, a dog in New Mexico scarfed down a woman's $4,500 wedding ring recently.
And when the ring didn't pass via "traditional" means, surgery was required to retrieve the ring from the 10-month-old basset hound's stomach, according to the KOB report.

People that think Mark sucks (me), well, we just want to win and think Mark is the wrong direction to go.
Todays practice solidifies that. If you need real life game samples, there is an abundance of that too.
Dont make it out like you are fan #1 because you hype up whatever crap the FO puts on the field, and the rest of us who question certain players are the anti-Jet.
Sanchez had his first poor practice after a solid start to camp.
the positive from this is that, even when Sanchez is playing well, Geno seems to be playing better.
so at the end of the day, if we go with Geno as the starter, it's because he's showing he can play and not (just) because Sanchez is playing poorly.
47 people watching practice all say Smith looked really good and Sanchez pretty much stunk up the joint
Sanchez's unpaid attorney and personal relations flack Baghdad RayRay says "It's not TRUE I tell you, Saddam err I mean Sanchez turned back the evil infidel Geno and emerged VICTORIOUS!!!!"

When receivers make a very good athletic catch, as Hill did a couple of times last year, the media doesn't start the narrative that he has the "stickies". It's an unfortunate double standard.
when asked about the failed "Tebowcat" last year, Rex answered directly in saying that if all you're gonna do from that formation is run, you'd run it with a RB and not a QB.
i think Rex envisions a Wildcat/Pistol/Read-Option with the QB as the centerpiece.

A Newham musician has added the new theme tune of an ITV show to her list of achievements.
Julie Sharpe, a member of staff at the Newham Academy of Music, has composed the new, orchestral arrangement for the theme tune of Daybreak, The ITV breakfast show, which was relaunched in September.
Julie has been a member of the academy staff for thirteen years where her current role is as Team Leader for Access. Producers Rob May (NAM alumni) and colleague Simon Hill at Sitting Duck Music and Media have a history of successes with Julie. Other projects include theme music for FIFA, Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics worldwide coverage and current affairs BBC show Sunday Live.
Julie said: "It's great to be working with ITV on such a huge show. We used a fabulous live orchestra for the recording which is always a privilege.
"Bringing fantastic, high quality music education to students in Newham is so important. My work and experience in the music industry informs the opportunities we give them. When students work with teachers who are actually composing, performing and producing at the highest level they see that they can do it as well."
Newham Academy of Music, which is also Music Hub Leader for Newham, runs a variety of music activities at their base in NewVIc (Newham Sixth Form College) and in Newham schools. It aims to offer as many opportunities as possible for everyone to get involved in music.

A poem I wrote from someone else's words
A poem I wrote from someone else's words
Black Holes Don't Make a Big Splash
Throughout our universe, tucked inside galaxies far, far away, giant black holes are pairing up and merging. As the massive bodies dance around each other in close embraces, they send out gravitational waves that ripple space and time themselves, even as they pass right through our planet Earth.
Scientists know these waves, predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, exist but have yet to directly detect one. In the race to catch the waves, one strategy — called pulsar-timing arrays — has reached a milestone not through detecting any gravitational waves, but in revealing new information about the frequency and strength of black hole mergers.
(via unazukin210)
My research project cum curated installation, Touching Space-Time, exhibited at the University of Glasgow, took the form of what Hawkins calls "art as a 'lab' for sensory exploration"(2012:60). That is, in this project I was interested in exploring the notion of art as a laboratory, such that particular sites can become a focus for creative as well as scientific experimentation. Specifically, I wanted to explore the manner in which theoretical and experimental physicists investigate cosmic events that are 'intangible,' but that can be translated into sensible forms via various technologies and, moreover, how this investigatory process can itself be translated into creative forms associated with the arts such that diverse, often unpredictable, affects can be generated.

A popular (and creative) form of scientific illustration
[Creative, because gravity waves may not actually exist — although the smart money (NSF) is betting that they do.]
Telescopes have been observing waves for a long time. The ones used by past astronomers were designed to make visible light waves more visible. Over time, people came to understand that there was more to the universe than what humans can register with their eyes, and started measuring radio, ultraviolet, and x-ray waves.
Most recently, scientists have turned their attention to measuring gravitational waves."Gravitational telescopes" let scientists observe fluctuations in spacetime itself.
One way of picturing gravitational waves is to imagine the universe as a stretched-out piece of fabric. Planets and stars sitting on the fabric pull it out of shape, and anything placed close to them will fall towards them.
If heavier objects, like stars and black holes, remain still, then the fabric is still as well. On the other hand, if things like neutron stars or black holes are romping around like happy, infinitely-massive puppies, the fabric will dip and ripple around them.
Those ripples in the universe are what scientists call gravitational waves.

If you're a former TERA player waiting for your chance to return to the game once it goes free-to-play next month, En Masse Entertainment doesn't want you to wait. The TERA publisher has reactivated all former accounts with seven free days on the house. Unfortunately, there were a few technical hiccups along the way that have since been resolved. As compensation for any inconvenience this may have caused some players, more free game time has been added to all accounts.
Hey Everyone,
We've seen a great response to TERA: Rising, our transition to making TERA free for everyone. In addition to that great news, we also reactivated all past subscribers for seven days, giving you a chance to come back and experience TERA again.
Unfortunately, we've had a few technical difficulties during this reactivation period. These made it difficult for some players to get into game. The good news is that those issues have now been addressed and everyone can once again access TERA.
We'd like to make it right, though. So for all our players—past, present, and future—we're adding seven days of game time to your account to compensate for the time lost. You don't have to do anything to activate this additional time—we'll add it right to your account.
Our community is and has always been our top priority. Please enjoy the extra time, and thanks for being part of the life of a game we love.
—Patrick "Treeshark" Sun

Ebola and Marburg
Ebola and Marburg are both hemorrhagic fevers and belong to the same family of viruses. The hosts for both are identified as animals, especially fruit bats—both diseases cross over from animals to humans. Incubation periods are around twenty-one days. The two diseases have similar symptoms and similarly high mortality rates. Both diseases spread through contact with bodily fluids, making family members and health care workers especially vulnerable. There is no pharmaceutical that cures either disease, and patients are treated in much the same way. The ill are isolated and medically supported until they recover or die. Efforts must be made to trace all those who came into contact with the ill. Read more »

VALPARAISO | It took only 20 minutes Monday night to realize that the Valparaiso University women's basketball team is playing a different style from last season.
The Crusaders used a breakneck pace to score 44 first-half points on their way to a 98-49 blowout over Holy Cross in Valparaiso's only exhibition contest of the year.
The 44 first-half points were more than the Crusaders scored in eight regular season games last year.
"Ideally we'd like to get out and run, but we have to be smart with it," Valparaiso coach Tracey Dorow said. "We're going to try and push the ball and attack the basket early. You should see that all year long."
Ieva Jansone led four players in double figures with 22 points, while Shaquira Scott returned from a knee injury that cost her the majority of her freshman year to add 13 points and eight rebounds.
"It's just the best feeling to get out and go," Scott said. "It felt great to be able to get back out there with my teammates."
Valparaiso played relatively slow out of the gate before going on a 17-2 scoring run that blew open the game. Once the Crusaders got the lead, they began an offensive attack that only slowed down for timeouts and free throw attempts.
Jansone connected on her first three shots and played with a newfound confidence after a slow start to last season. The Latvian native had to sit out the first 11 games of her first year at Valparaiso and never got into a rhythm with the rest of her teammates. Jansone averaged just 1.7 points in 19 games last season.
"Coach did a good job of working us in the preseason," Jansone said. "We ran a lot, and now everyone is healthy. It's good to have everyone back out there."
Monday was a homecoming of sorts for three members of the Holy Cross program. Sophomore Maggie Gondeck (Michigan City) started and had four points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes, while Shelbi Westerhouse (Morgan Township) missed the only shot she attempted in six minutes of action. Holy Cross coach Aimee (Litka) Niespodziany returned to the Athletics-Recreation Center after for playing the Crusaders from 2005-09. Niespodziany was a senior when Valparaiso knocked off Purdue at the ARC in 2008.
"Valpo is a place that is near and dear to my heart," Niespodziany said. "I hope they have a great season. Tonight brought back a lot of good memories."
The Crusaders scored 46 points in the paint as Tabitha Gerardot had 19 points and eight rebounds, while Charae Richardson had 10 points. Lexi Miller came off the bench to score six points and add six assists.

Rail Traffic Posts Large Gains
- Posted by ToddSullivan
- on April 3rd, 2014
Total N. American rail traffic came in at 729k carloads last week vs 664k in 2013. This number is also impressive as it gets us back to near the year end high levels of 2013 which, if one glances at the chart below is not the typical pattern. We typically do not see levels approaching the previous high levels until much later in the year. Now, this could be catchup from delayed shipments due to weather over the last few weeks but I'm not convinced of that as we've not seen anything like this before. The data over the next few weeks will answer that question.
As I have in the past, I'll post the oil shipments data:
While oil shipments continue to rise, they are in no way responsible for the overall strength we are seeing now. YOY oil by rail shipments are up 3k while total traffic was up over 60k. So, yes, it is helping but there is far more going on here. There was huge gains in both intermodal and metals shipments last week. This strength goes to core economic activity in the US.

Peterson's wish list: an MVP and, maybe, a comeback player of the year award too.
Adrian Peterson: An MVP
All Adrian Peterson wants for Christmas is some MVP consideration. The man is having one of the greatest seasons off all-time only a few short months after tearing his ACL. We all know that the MVP is a quarterback award, but if there was going to be a year it went to another position, shouldn't it be this year? If Peterson can break the single-season rushing record and carry the Vikings to a playoff appearance by beating the Packers next week, then he just might get his Christmas wish.
Tom Brady: A Super Bowl without the Giants
Christmas may have come early for Tom Brady and the Patriots after the Giants were blown out by the Ravens on Sunday, and all but had their playoffs hopes crushed. Eli Manning has already stolen two Super Bowls from Mr. Brady, and who knows what Tom would do if it happened again this season. But, luckily, for the Patriots, they may finally get to play a Super Bowl that doesn't feature their arc rivals—just as long as Brady can beat his other nemesis in the Manning family (no, not Archie) during the AFC's side of the playoffs.
Note: Have the Mannings really stolen three Super Bowls from the 'Golden Boy'? He must really hate that family.
Los Angeles Lakers: One game above .500
At this point in the season it seems like the Lakers have to throw every thing but the kitchen sink at their opponents to get a win. Los Angeles needed a furious fourth quarter rally and overtime to beat the Warriors over the weekend—and even after four straight wins are still one game under .500. All the Lakers really want is a winning record. Is that too much to ask from Santa?
All Jay Cutler wants for Christmas is to stay healthy and a case of cigarettes
Jay Cutler: One season without an injury
Jay Cutler is always hurt. It seems like every year he misses a stretch of the season because of a concussion or some sort of injury. Maybe what Cutler really needs for Christmas is a real offensive line. But, even if Cutler was healthy for a full season, the Bears would still probably find a way to miss the playoffs. Maybe Cutler could stay healthy if he stopped smoking so much.
Kobe Bryant: More shots
Kobe Bryant took 41 shots against the Golden State Warriors over the weekend—that was seven more shots than the rest of the starters combined. And you know Kobe went to bed dreaming about the other shots that he passed up. If we could get our hands on Kobe's Christmas wish list the first thing on it would say is 'more shots'. This is starting to feel like the Smush Parker 2005 season all over again.

Geneticist Dr. Michael Bleyman founded Carolina Tiger Rescue in the 1970s as a breeding sanctuary for large carnivores whose habitats had become unsafe. Its original intent was to protect wild species that were crucial to the survival of particular ecosystems, sustaining the populations until their home habitats were protected enough to support them without risk. Today, the organization protects wild cats in captivity and in nature by providing homes for abandoned or neglected cats, raising awareness about the threats to these animals, and assisting with conservation efforts in rainforests and wild habitats. Carolina Tiger Rescue currently houses more than 70 carnivores, including tigers, black leopards, ocelots, caracals, servals, and kinkajous. Many of the facility's residents have been rescued from dangerous situations in urban spaces and private breeding facilities. Now they have a lifelong home in re-created natural habitats.
Setting a higher standard for veterinary emergency care and service in the Triad. At Happy Tails Veterinary Emergency Clinic, we believe you and your pet deserve the very best. When your regular veterinarian is not available and it is necessary to seek emergency care, experience the difference at Happy Tails!
At Chapel Hill Pet Resort, your dog may have a better place to stay than you do. Instead of being cooped up in its cage or forced to lead your work meetings with your most important clients, it can enjoy outdoor playing time in a shaded astroturf yard, cool off in pink and blue kiddie pools, chase new canine friends down a plastic slide, or follow the neon-yellow trail of a tennis ball. When the dogs come in for nap time, staff members treat them to Frosty Paws or peanut-butter-stuffed Kongs before they settle in on soft blue blankets.
If your dog has special needs or is shy or geriatric, the employees provide it with more one-on-one time in a private area. Owners who are dreading being left behind for their dogs' first day of daycare can set up tours of the premises to ease their qualms.
Owner Dr. Paula Bullock doesn't want the cost of veterinary care to be the reason people must give up their pets. That's why she opened Affordable Animal Care, a full-service veterinary hospital. There, she and her team work with clients to develop affordable-treatment plans. Treatments include spaying and neutering, as well as medical, dental, and surgical procedures. Vaccinations are also available, with walk-ins welcomed for pets 1 year and older.
Training riders and horses is a family affair at Chapel Ridge Farm, where members of the Bennett family draw from more than 75 years of combined equestrian boarding, training, showing, and sales experience. Owner and head trainer Meagan Bennett takes the reins of each riding class, teaching students how to improve their horsemanship, from basic horse care to fine-tuning their jumping skills for AA competitions. While Meagan is out with students, her mother and one-time state equestrian team coach, Linda Bennett, handles day-to-day operations at the farm. Tom Bennett, Meagan's father, also helps out and is often available to help transport horses between Chapel Ridge Farm and other equestrian centers to save steeds the aggravation of hitchhiking without thumbs.
If the vet tech checking out the family dog is wearing a tiara, visitors to Lake Pine Animal Hospital shouldn't bat an eye. This tiara is proudly worn by the employee of the month, and is just part of the fun the staff has from day to day. Though the veterinary crew likes to laugh, they take each pet?s health very seriously.
They care for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small mammals with wellness services including comprehensive checkups and vaccinations, and more involved procedures such as surgery and radiology. They also bathe and groom furry friends, and board them while their owners are away or in hibernation.

UK gov to control the causes of crime
Ten years since the Prime Minister suggested that social inequality would have to be addressed in order to prevent crime, he is expected to propose a technology-led programme of rehabilitation, intervention and control to tackle the causes of crime. The leaked proposals were published in The Independent following another leak …
I'm with Big Tone..
It's so simple !
The "causes of crime" are the freedoms that permit people to do bad things.
Do away with the freedoms and people can no longer do bad things.
Why has no-one thought of this before....?
Oh, excepting Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Bob Mugabe..
I think there's a pattern here......
'Personalised approach'
'Well normally son this sort of thing would get you a £50 fine, but because your eyes are too close together I'm gonna double that.'
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
'They would include more summary powers such as on-the-spot fines and would reflect a "personalised approach" that targeted the "offender not the offence".'
Real world: You start with a crime, investigate, catch a culprit and prove this with evidence before a judge. The role of police in that state is to prevent and prosecute crimes ranging from serious to minor crimes.
Surreal World: You start with a person, see what crime you can arrest them for, then lock them up for it. The role of the police in that state is to prosecute people they dislike, ranging from strong dislike to least dislike.
The second one is a lot easier to do, especially with all the new subjective, conflicting & discretionary laws we have. SUS?
I'd vote for Judge Dredd
We need more police on the streets with the ability to deal with crime as they come across it.
Let's see how much crime* we see when we have squadrons of death-dealing Judge Dredd types patrolling the streets.
Who do I speak to in order to apply for that kind of job?
* According to current legislation rather than any new ones la-buh can come up with
We all know what this nu-lab speak actually means
We all know what "preventative interventions" actually means don't we ?
Instead of applying punishment for comitting crime, we are to see yet more laws allowing us to be punished without comitting a crime - accusation is eveidence enough. Simple really, do away with all that bothersome collecting of evidence malarkey - lets just re-introduce the linch mobs, but in their modern nu-lab form with targets and incentives.
Forget Judge Dredd...
Go for Judge Death..
"All crimes are committed by the living, therefore living should be made a crime"
Export the criminals
Thinking about this, can't we use our extradition treaty with the US to our advantage? Maybe set up some kind of office over there to have our British criminals sent over there?
It worked however many years ago with Australia... I suppose the most important risk with this strategy is; do we want American's beating us at cricket?

Looking for a steal on Spyderco knives? Get to Golden, Colorado on November 17 and take advantage of the Spyderco factory sale.
I didn't know they did this, but it seems the company has an annual(?) sale on fectory "seconds" and other closeout knives. The seconds are fully functional knives, but have some type of cosmetic blemish that prevents the company from selling them through normal distribution channels.
How much of a discount is offered on these knives? Well, they are limiting customers to 25 "seconds" knives each, so I would guess the discounts are substantial. After you buy 25, you can get back in line for another pass. No limits on discontinued items.
The sale will run all day on Saturday, November 17 from 8 am – 5 pm.
Has anyone ever been to the Spyderco factory sale before? I'm on the opposite side of the country, so I will not be able to attend. It does sound like a great chance to pick up some awesome deals.

Prevention is Better than a Cure
by Chrysalis De Vera in Health News on Jul 31, 2012
It is always better to prevent something rather than feeling sorry about not thinking about what could have happened in the first place. On that note, medical insurance is something everyone should consider having, simply because it will be extremely useful in case of an accident or injury.
In the situations in which this type of insurance is not present, things can get complicated in a short amount of time. When being abroad for example, in case of illness a medical insurance will enable the patient to be entitled to treatment without having to pay a large amount of money.
When it comes to medical negligence, the situation may be slightly different. Of course, insurance will bring a series of benefits such as reduced costs and the patient will be covered instead of being exposed to further complications. However, people tend to argue upon whether or not being medically insured reduces the chances of negligence. Taking care of a patient who has undergone surgery or any type of intervention is just as important as the first step. When this is not properly done, the consequences may be extreme, in some cases leading to the death of the person.
When it comes to adults, detecting negligence is easier because they are able to determine if the hospital conditions and manner in which he is treated matches the standards. If there is something which is not appropriate, an adult is able to talk to lawyers in order to solve the problem.
On the other hand, children cannot do the same. They are more vulnerable to begin with, therefore giving them a misleading treatment is easier to do. A child might not be able to tell if the way he is treated by the doctor matches what his parents are told. And when he realizes and tells them something is not right, it might be too late. Hence, in the case of child injuries it is especially important to keep well aware of the situation in order to avoid any form of medical negligence.
Solicitors and lawyers play an important part in the entire process because they are entitled to investigate and find out as many details as possible in order to conclude whether medical negligence has occurred. If the answer to this question is positive, legal action must be taken and a claim has to be put forward. Bolt Burdon Kemp offers assistance and advice with regard to such situations.

Pick an image for a larger view. See the glossary for icon descriptions.
Detailed Information
A single flower 3/8 to ½ inch across at the end of a long naked stem, with 5 to 7 white petal-like sepals that drop off early and numerous white-tipped stamens surrounding bright green styles that are curled at the tip. Alternating with the sepals are golden yellow club-shaped petals that are shorter than the stamens, with a cup-shaped tip that holds nectar. A plant typically has 1 flowering stem but may have multiples.
Leaves and stem:
Leaves are evergreen, basal, palmately compound in groups of 3 at the end of a naked stem that is shorter than the flower stem. Leaflets are fan-shaped, up to 1 inch long, with notched tips or shallow lobes, small teeth around the tip half, and a shiny surface. Leaves and stems are hairless.
Notes:This is an early and swift bloomer; the petal-like sepals do not last very long, making this species hard to catch at the right time. The common name Goldthread comes from its root system, which is thread-like and bright yellow.

Toddlers can be wonderful, when the little darlings are sleeping -- or when they're willing to cooperate. By the time children reach toddlerhood, they're learning to assert their independence, which can make it a lot more difficult to gain cooperation. Introducing routines early gets kids into healthy habits. Once habits are established, toddlers gain a sense of stability and familiarity that keeps them on track and decreases their resistance.
Transitioning into a new day is easier for a toddler if she knows what to expect. Have a set wake-up time. Start the day off with a smile by greeting each other with hugs and kisses. If it takes a while for your toddler to shake off sleepiness, get her into the habit of sitting quietly with a book or toy, or put on some soft but cheerful music to ease her into the day. Give your toddler a choice of what to wear and make getting dressed a part of the start of each day.
Basic hygiene habits should be built into your daily schedule. Get your child into routines like brushing teeth, bathing and washing hands before and after meals. Other routines for toddlers should include putting his dish in the sink, putting a toy away when he's done with it and making his bed. It doesn't matter how well he does these things. The important thing is letting him practice doing basic things for himself. If you don't teach him to be clean now, it will only be harder to get him to do it later.
Instilling healthy eating habits in your child is an essential part of good parenting. Meal time can be a peaceful, communal time for the family. Keep meals and snacks on schedule. This will avoid your toddler getting into the habit of mindless eating out of boredom or for consolation. During meals and snacks, offer your toddler a variety of different healthy foods so she'll get used to them -- after all, what 5 year old is going to request broccoli if she's never had it?
It's important now more than ever that children get into a physical activity routine. In this digital age with screen-focused forms of entertainment, children are spending more and more time indoors, sitting down and pushing buttons. Set a daily time once or twice per day to go outdoors or to a large space for running, climbing, playing ball or other physical activities for at least an hour. Don't let activity end there -- throughout the day, introduce briefer activities get your child up and moving. These don't always have to be rigidly scheduled; you can be flexible, but getting up for a little dancing, a brief tickle fight or a quick game of Simon Says will keep the child active and fit.
Easing your child out of her day is as important as easing her into it. If you want your toddler to learn how to sleep through the night in her room without fuss, a bedtime routine can help you achieve that. Start by winding down with calm activities, such as a warm bath and story time. Put your child to bed at the same time each night, and give hugs and kisses. Don't let your child fall asleep in different rooms -- get her used to going into bed herself, and if she gets up keep returning her to the bed and tucking her in. It may take a while if your child isn't used to it, but a steady routine will win out if you're consistent.

Guys: Don't know how to tie a tie? You need to know how to do this so you are prepared for an interview, to step-up your professional look - or for a surprise dinner out with your girlfriend's parents. Our amazing and wonderful new hire at The Emily Post Institute needed some coaching so my boss Peter Post (Emily Post's great-grandson) walked him through a half-windsor (see pic!). Here's a link to a video that teaches how to tie a double windsor knot (which I prefer because it is more symmetrical).

As registered dietitians, one of the first things that we learned during our undergraduate studies was the importance of family mealtime. Although we have fond memories of growing up and having fun family dinners, it hadn't yet dawned on us how much we'd notice this personally when we had our own kids.
If you're like us, you look forward to sitting down to dinner with your family for so many reasons. And it turns out that family meal time helps kids to learn good eating habits while also forming stronger bonds between kids and parents.
However, based on the dynamics of the modern family, many people believe family mealtime is fading and a thing of the past. So we were delighted to receive encouraging results of a new survey from Welch's Kitchen Table Report that shows just the opposite – that families are, in fact, stronger than ever – making time to eat together, talking to one another each day, and truly enjoying spending quality time together. In fact, the survey found:
- 71 percent of respondents say their families eat dinner together as often as or more today than their families did when they were children.
- 84 percent of parents say that one of their favorite parts of the day is when their family eats together.
- 75 percent say that, in an average week, they eat together four or more nights.
Despite the good news, our clients tell us (and we are well aware!) that the modern American family still faces challenges that impact family mealtime, such as a lack of time and financial concerns. So any time that we find delicious, quick, easy and heart-healthy recipes and meal makeover tips we love to share them. Here's one of our favorite new recipes:
Easy Shredded Chicken Tacos with Tomato and Grape Juice Salsa
Ingredients (Tacos)
- 8, 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed
- 1 lb. cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups dark mixed greens
- 1 1/2 cups tomato and grape juice salsa (recipe below)
- Cilantro, if desired
Ingredients (Tomato and Grape Juice Salsa)
- 3/4 cup low-sodium salsa
- 3/4 cup Welch's 100% Grape Juice made with Concord grapes
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Juice of 1 lime
Place corn tortillas in a 200° F oven to warm.
While tortillas are warming, in a small saucepan stir together salsa, grape juice and cumin. Heat gently until warmed throughout.
Remove from heat. Add lime juice and stir to incorporate.
Remove corn tortillas from oven. Top each tortilla with mixed greens. Add chicken. Spoon salsa over the chicken. Add cilantro, if desired.
Serving suggestion: Serve tacos with 1/2 cup black beans and 1/2 cup brown rice for a balanced meal. Sauce can also be served over flank steak, fajita meat or rice for added flavor.

Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2: price, specs and release date
By Nicole Kobie
Posted on 23 Sep 2013 at 16:15
Microsoft has unveiled updated versions of its tablets, the Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2.
At an event in New York, Microsoft showed off its Surface devices as well as new accessories, with many of the details matching earlier leaks. Both devices will be available in the UK on 22 October, with pre-orders starting tomorrow.
The Surface Pro 2 will run Windows 8.1 on an Intel Haswell chip, boosting the tablet's performance by 20%, said Panos Panay, vice president of Surface development.
Microsoft also addressed one of the major complaints about the first generation: battery life. The Surface Pro 2 offers 75% greater battery life than its predecessor. Microsoft has also created a cover with an additional battery, which when combined with the tablet delivers as much as two and a half times more life than the first generation, Panay said - more than ten hours.
Panay said the Surface Pro 2 wasn't "reinventing the wheel" but an incremental update, noting improvements to the display's colour accuracy, better speakers and a new kickstand, that sits at a better angle to use the tablet on your lap.
Panay also showed off using the Surface Pro 2 to process 6K raw video, saying it highlights the ability to have "the full power of a PC in a tablet form".
Alongside the Surface Power Cover - the detachable keyboard with the extra battery - Microsoft revealed a docking station that features three USB 2 ports, one USB 3 port, mini DisplayPort, Ethernet, power charging and support for a monitor with up to 3,840 by 2,160 resolution.
The Type Cover has also been updated. The new version is 1mm thinner than the last version, backlit, has less travel in the keys for easier typing, and comes in purple, pink, blue and black.
The Surface Pro 2 will be available in 64GB and 128GB versions with 4GB of RAM, starting from £719, as well as 256GB and 512GB versions with 8GB of RAM.
Surface 2
Microsoft also revealed the Surface 2, the follow-up from the Windows-on-ARM Surface RT.
Panay promised it would let people actually be productive, rather than merely consume content.
As with its sibling Surface Pro 2, the Surface 2 looks similar to its predecessor, but Microsoft said it's thinner and lighter, and features a 1080p ClearType display. It also now comes in silver, and has the Surface logo clearly displayed on the back.
The Surface 2 runs an Nvidia Tegra 4 processor, a 10.6in 1080p display, a USB 3 port, 3.5-megapixel front camera and 5-megapixel rear camera, and promises ten hours of battery life,
Microsoft said the Surface launched with 10,000 apps, and Panay said the Windows Store now has 100,000. He said apps for Flipboard and Facebook were on the way, but didn't reveal release dates.
The Surface 2 is available in 32GB and 64GB versions, starting from £359.
Docking station
Is it wrong that I really like the look of that dock?
By Rikkif on 23 Sep 2013
Is the Surface 2 available in the original grey?
Really don't like the white.
By Grunthos on 23 Sep 2013
That should do it.
"It also now comes in silver, and has the Surface logo clearly displayed on the back."
I think you nailed it there boys. Now you can just sit back and watch the cash roll in...
By ChrisH on 23 Sep 2013
Hang on...
So despite having the energy-efficient Haswell chip, this thing needs the 'Surface power cover' to get more than 10 hours of battery life? Oh, and doesn't that 'more than...' sound awfully like the 'up to...' that ISPs use for broadband speeds?
No price mentioned for the power cover either.
By petermillard1 on 24 Sep 2013
Less travel...
for a better typing experience? Surely you need more travel for a decent typing experience? I have a chicklet keyboards on my iMac and Windows laptop and hybrid and a full-travel keyboard on my PC, the PC keyboard is a much better experience.
That said, the dock and the battery keyboard make the Pro 2 look very interesting.
By big_D on 24 Sep 2013
As this features an active Wacom digitizer it will use more battery than a standard laptop... It also features quite a high quality, bright, lovely looking screen.
By rhythm on 24 Sep 2013
Also, it's tiny and only weights 900g. Can't have a battery that's any bigger I guess.
By Grunthos on 24 Sep 2013
Battery life.....
I see the moaning has started already regarding the battery life figures.
Remember, the Surface Pro isn't a cutdown toy like the iPad, it's running full-fat Windows what do you expect???
By everton2004 on 24 Sep 2013
I have a Surface Pro and it performs very well, both speed and battery wise. I just don't like the keyboard arrangement or the fact that Microsoft introduced yet another power plug design that no one else uses. The Lenovo keyboard connection is a better design and the power plug should have been conventional so that aftermarket products would fit it.
I do like the idea of the extra battery in the keyboard and the backlight.

the list identified in this chapter is a step toward formulating a framework for features of community programs that support the acquisition of assets of personal and social development and, in turn, support positive adolescent development.
As was summarized in Chapter 3, there is evidence that adolescents with more personal and social assets have greater positive development. Since program features typically work together in synergistic ways, programs with more features are likely to provide better supports for young people's positive development.
We need to reemphasize the limits of the research used in this chapter. First, the chapter has drawn primarily on studies of such settings as families and schools and then extrapolated the findings to community programs. Research focusing directly on these features in community program settings would increase our understanding of how community programs for youth could incorporate these features into program design and implementation.
Second, we have stressed that our configuration of these features into a list of eight is provisional. The boundaries between features are indistinct, and the titles given to them tentative. It is unlikely that another group of scholars would come up with the exact same list, although the underlying content is likely to be very similar. Research is needed that further sharpens the conceptualization of these features and does so in the context of community programs. It is also possible that new research will find features that we have not included.
Finally, there is evidence that adolescents in communities that are rich in developmental opportunities for them experience reduced risk and show higher rates of positive development. This suggests that communities need a menu or portfolio of programs that provides a fit for every adolescent. Communities need models for how they can assess whether its set of community programs provides good coverage for all youth or whether there are major gaps in who they are serving. Research focusing directly on these features in community programs for youth is essential—research that sharpens the conceptualization of these features in community program settings.

Comment: the excuse to get a national ID card (Score 1) 365
I consider myself a privacy advocate, but I'm also a computer programmer who desperately wishes for a national ID number unique to every citizen. Last year, I advocated for voter ID cards here in Minnesota ( http://mellowtigger.dreamwidth.org/237086.html ) because it seemed like a way to bypass the usual conservative opposition to government ID cards. Finally, conservatives' fear of "furriners" overtaking the country might exceed their fear of religious mumbo jumbo about numbers of the Beast. I'll take progress however I can get it, and voter/immigration paranoia seems like the way I can finally get a national ID number.

Since the dark ages of Linux desktop, both Fedora and Ubuntu have sported the overly familiar GNOME 2 look. It goes without saying that the simple, clean and fast desktop environment enjoys a heavy fan base in the Linux world. However as time went on, many people agreed that GNOME was in need of something fresh, something completely new. Hence, developers started working on a totally revamped user interface, now known as GNOME 3 or GNOME shell. This newly designed shell interface was also supposed to be the default desktop environment for Ubuntu 11.04. Due to philosophical differences between Canonical and the GNOME team, Ubuntu ditched GNOME 3 and started working on their own desktop environment called Unity. Since this announcement, Unity has received some heavy criticism from the Linux community. GNOME 3 too has had its share of bad feedback following some major UI decisions like removing minimize and maximize buttons. Despite these early apprehensions, both projects have managed to bring a much-needed burst of freshness to the stagnating Linux desktop.

It's Friday….Friday, but I can't hear that catchy hook coming out of my computer's speakers.
It was sad news this morning, when I heard on the radio that YouTube removed Rebecca Black's viral music video sensation "Friday" from their site. YouTube pulled the video after a request by representatives of Black because of a conflict with the recording studio, Ark Music Factory. The copyright dispute came after a decision by Ark to start charging a $2.99 rental fee for the popular video using YouTube Rentals.
This is a great example of what not to do with a successful viral video.
Ironic the video was taken down on a Friday…Friday.
25,000! Can't believe this vid my friend and I made on a Saturday morning got so much traction. I love it though!
Very cool American Express commercial converging traditional broadcast media with Twitter showing real conversations.

Niners Outlast Green Bay 23-20
The San Francisco 49ers will meet the Carolina Panthers next Sunday in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.
The San Francisco 49ers will meet the Carolina Panthers next Sunday in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.
What a difference a year makes. A year ago the New Orleans Saints were gearing up to take on the Green Bay Packers. The Saints were eager to rebound from a disappointing first round loss at Seattle and the Packers had a jacked up Lambeau Field eager to celebrate their team's recent Super Bowl win.
As Popeye once said "that's all I can stands, cuz I can't stands no more!"
I think if you don't have a good sense of humor you will never make it out alive!
Former UL Ragin' Cajun and current Chicago Bear Charles "Peanut" Tillman obviously has a pretty good sense of humor.
I think as fans we've all been in this lady's shoes. Well maybe not that drunk but we've all felt that just because we didn't wear a certain jersey or make a certain food that we cause our team bad karma.
The Green Bay Packers recently offered stock in its franchise for just the fifth time in team history. A guy named Arvind of Winnipeg went all out and bought one share. Here's what his one share looked like when he received it.
Our Saints Reporter Gus Kattengell predicted the Saints would score 34 points. Spot on Gus! Of course he said the Packers would only end up with 31.
That didn't quite happen as our New Orleans Saints fell to the defending Super Bowl Champions Green Bay Packers 42-34.
Our New Orleans Saints kick off the 2011 season tonight up at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Of course us members of the Who Dat Nation having been awaiting this date ever since that dreary day in Seattle that ended last season.
Our exclusive Saints Reporter Gus Kattengell gets us fired up for tonight's game at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. Whenever you're playing the defending World Champs at their house, it's always a tough task. Here's Gus with his analysis of the game including some of the Saints players giving you their keys to winning tonight.
Tomorrow night we finally get all the practice football behind us, the lockout is a distant memory and what happened last year is blurred like your vision at Cowboys Night Club at 2 am. Tomorrow night its football; Saints football, and it counts. This year the Saints will travel north of I-10 to America's Derriere (Dairy Air), also known as Wisconsin. Let's face it Wisconsin has given us some great things. It is the home of Laverne and Shirley, NASCAR legend Dick Trickle and some pretty tasty sausage. After you get past those three things the reasons to appreciate Wisconsin, and Green Bay in particular, fall off drastically. Let me use pictures to illustrate my thoughts of why Green Bay, The Packers and their fans are part of the reason why other countries have been able to gain so much ground on America.

The Dallas Cowboys have one of the best wide receivers in the league in Dez Byrant. Unfortunately for the cap strapped Cowboys he is headed into the final year of his contract, the Cowboys could look to negotiate a long-term deal before the season, but they haven't yet.
From ESPN Dallas:
The Cowboys haven't opened contract talks with Bryant's agent Eugene Parker, but given the franchise will be tight against the salary cap in 2014, the team has some major decisions to finalize.
"Those are all things we'll be working on," Cowboys' executive vice president Stephen Jones said at the Senior Bowl regarding Bryant.
Bryant told TMZ at the Gridiron Celebrity Hoops charity event in Harlem that he wanted to stay with the club for his whole career, so the Cowboys probably don't need to stress too much.
"I don't even think about leaving Dallas," Bryant said. "I'm Dallas forever. It's gonna stay that way."
