of Scuttlebutt Brewing - Everett, WA
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Scuttlebutt Brewing, which says:
"A friendly family run operation. I was especially pleased with the Mariner Ale.
As I understand the Brewer uses the same yeast strain on all of the beers. By my tasting he does well by it. I plan to try Scuttlebut beers again.
There is a small dining area where reasonably priced,good food can be had.
Scuttlebut is non-somoking, YES!"

...but I sensed a distrust from the committee about being a young mother who wanted to be a judge."
That was Judge Altonaga responding to a question from a student at her former school. The Herald has the nice story about her return to the school here:
The first Cuban-American woman ever appointed to a U.S. federal court bench said studying at Notre Dame Academy in Miami taught her the meaning of tolerance. It was the end of 1970s, one of the most tumultuous periods of racial discontent in Miami's history. Her all-girls high school was one of the most racially integrated in the city. "I remember in my last year, coming back from a graduation night," said Cecilia María Altonaga, who graduated in 1980.
"Our parents had to pick us up from the school, and the riots were going on at the same time. The school was closed. It was dangerous." There were no final exams that year, due to the violence. But inside the school, a different story about race was unfolding. "This was a place that exhibited all these different racial/ethnic groups coexisting, working together, overcoming differences," said Altonaga. "There is this perception that all Catholic girls schools are elitist or homogenous or they exclude people. This was quite the opposite, one of the most diverse groups of young women working together."
She returned to her alma mater — which soon after she graduated merged with Archbishop Curley High School — on Saturday to talk about her career in the law to about two dozen current students. The forum followed a special Mass at the Archbiship Curley-Notre Dame High School, which each year honors an alum who now serves the community as an attorney or judge.

Sony has published a list of 262 PSP games that will be downloadable on the PlayStation Vita as part of its UMD Passport program.
The scheme enables Vita owners to download copies of PSP games they already own at a discounted price.
The service is set to launch on December 6, just ahead of the Vita's December 17 release, with PSP games priced between around 500 and 1500 yen (£4-£12.20).
Siliconera reports there are 606 PSP games available on the Japanese PlayStation Store, so the list is a significant chunk of the total library. However, it seems a few major publishers aren't represented.
While Atlus, Nippon Ichi, Acquire, Tecmo Koei, SNK Playmore and Cyberfront games are available, titles from Square Enix, Namco Bandai, Konami, and Monster Hunter maker Capcom are not supported yet.
Have a look at the full list here.
SCEE president Jim Ryan said this week that PSP's focus on becoming a multimedia device confused people - and promised that Vita will be positioned primarily as a gaming device.

VIENNA, June 7, 2006 – The European Commission and the World Bank have agreed to a new avian flu trust fund arrangement under which the Commission will contribute €46 million to a new multi-donor financing mechanism administered by the Bank, called the Avian and Human Influenza (AHI) Facility.
The EC contribution will finance grants for countries in separate geographic windows—Central Asia, East and South Asia, Eastern Europe and Mediterranean Littoral—to increase human influenza pandemic preparedness, as well as preventing or progressively controlling avian influenza within these regions.
At the global level, the AHI Facility will help countries to prepare and implement integrated country action plans. The objective is to reduce the social and economic impact of avian influenza and to minimize the possibility of a human flu pandemic in developing countries with insufficient domestic resources and capacity to combat the disease.
This commitment by the European Commission represents more than 80 percent of the total commitment to date by donors to the Facility. A formal signing of the underlying agreement between the Commission and the Bank is expected to take place prior to the inaugural meeting of the Facility's Advisory Board in Vienna on June 8th, to be co-chaired by the parties to this agreement.
"We are extremely gratified that the Commission has once again taken the lead, as it has in so many other important social development areas, to help in the preparation of country-based plans designed to protect vulnerable populations against this real threat," said James Adams, Vice President for Operations and Country Services at the World Bank.
Koos Richelle, Director-General of the European Commission's EuropeAid Cooperation Office announced, "By signing this agreement with the World Bank, the European Commission is delivering the funds that it pledged at the Beijing Conference to combat avian influenza in Asia, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean Neighbourhood. By working together with the Bank and other donors. I believe that we can maximise the impact of EC funds on an issue that is of vital importance to developing countries."

Edsger W. Dijkstra
1974 Harry H. Goode Memorial Award Recipient
"For his contributions to the scientific approach to computer programming, his efforts to establish programming as a science and a profession, and the enhancement of higher programming standards and procedures, and for his accomplishments in the early construction of ALGOL compilers and the ensuing programming breakthroughs are to be commended."
Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Dijkstra studied theoretical physics at Leiden University, but he quickly realized he was more interested in computer science. Originally employed by the Mathematisch Centrum in Amsterdam, he held a professorship at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, worked as a research fellow for Burroughs Corporation in the early 1970s, and later held the Schlumberger Centennial Chair in Computer Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin, in the United States. He retired in 2000.
Among his contributions to computer science is the shortest path-algorithm, also known as Dijkstra's algorithm; Reverse Polish Notation and related Shunting yard algorithm; the THE multiprogramming system; Banker's algorithm; and the semaphore construct for coordinating multiple processors and programs. Another concept due to Dijkstra in the field of distributed computing is that of self-stabilization – an alternative way to ensure the reliability of the system. Dijkstra's algorithm is used in SPF, Shortest Path First, which is used in the routing protocol OSPF, Open Shortest Path First.
While he had programmed extensively in machine code in the 1950s, he was known for his low opinion of the GOTO statement in computer programming, writing a paper in 1965, and culminating in the 1968 article "A Case against the GO TO Statement" (EWD215), regarded as a major step towards the widespread deprecation of the GOTO statement and its effective replacement by structured control constructs, such as the while loop. This methodology was also called structured programming, the title of his 1972 book, coauthored with C.A.R. Hoare and Ole-Johan Dahl. The March 1968 ACM letter's famous title, "Go To Statement Considered Harmful", was not the work of Dijkstra, but of Niklaus Wirth, then editor of Communications of the ACM.
Dijkstra was known to be a fan of ALGOL 60, and worked on the team that implemented the first compiler for that language. Dijkstra and Jaap Zonneveld, who collaborated on the compiler, agreed not to shave until the project was completed.
Dijkstra wrote two important papers in 1968, devoted to the structure of a multiprogramming operating system called THE, and to Co-operating Sequential Processes.
He is famed for coining the popular programming phrase "2 or more, use a for", alluding to the fact that when you find yourself processing more than one instance of a data structure, it is time to encapsulate that logic inside a loop.
From the 1970s, Dijkstra's chief interest was formal verification. The prevailing opinion at the time was that one should first write a program and then provide a mathematical proof of correctness. Dijkstra objected noting that the resulting proofs are long and cumbersome, and that the proof gives no insight as to how the program was developed. An alternative method is program derivation, to "develop proof and program hand in hand". One starts with a mathematical specification of what a program is supposed to do and applies mathematical transformations to the specification until it is turned into a program that can be executed. The resulting program is then known to be correct by construction. Much of Dijkstra's later work concerns ways to streamline mathematical argument. In a 2001 interview he stated a desire for "elegance", whereby the correct approach would be to process thoughts mentally, rather than attempt to render them until they are complete. The analogy he made was to contrast the compositional approaches of Mozart and Beethoven.
Dijkstra was one of the very early pioneers of the research on distributed computing. Some people even consider some of his papers to be those that established the field. In particular, his paper "Self-stabilizing Systems in Spite of Distributed Control" started the sub-field of self-stabilization.
Dijkstra was known for his essays on programming; he was the first to make the claim that programming is so inherently difficult and complex that programmers need to harness every trick and abstraction possible in hopes of managing the complexity of it successfully.
Dijkstra believed that computer science was more abstract than programming; he once said, "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
He died in Nuenen, The Netherlands on August 6, 2002 after a long struggle with cancer. The following year, the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) PODC Influential Paper Award in distributed computing was renamed the Dijkstra Prize in his honour.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Businesses looking to grow in Western New York will now have a one-stop shopping location. Governor Cuomo announced Tuesday that the Erie County Industrial Development Agency and the Buffalo Urban Development Corporation will now centralize their officers at 95 Perry Street, where Empire State Development's Western New York regional office is currently located. The move will allow the state, county and city to have all their economic development entities co-located in one building, which will save taxpayers money. "Governor Cuomo said 'why aren't they all located in one place?'" said Empire State Development Regional President Sam Hoyt. "Don't we want to send a message to outside investors that you come to Buffalo and you can easily work with all of the economic development entities?" Both organizations are expected to move to 95 Perry Street this summer.

Coralife's Hydrometer takes a true water sample at six inch depth. Easy to read and accurate, this specific gravity meter is designed to give temperature-corrected readings in warm water aquariums. Includes a self-leveling, hanging device and allows your hands to stay dry, avoiding contamination of aquarium.
Submerge hydrometer approximately six inches below. When water reaches the fill-line level (top of dam) remove hydrometer and place on a level surface. Air bubbles adhering to the pointer will result in inaccurate, high readings. Gently tap hydrometer to dislodge any air bubbles. Read specific gravity on inside scale and salinity in parts per thousand (ppt) on outside scale. Recommended specific gravity is 1.020 to 1.023 for most marine aquariums. Rinse with freshwater after every use.
Before using, fill the hydrometer with salty water ad allow it to sit for 24 hours to season the needle.

The Peacock Room Comes to America: Exhibiting Freer's Bibles
Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution
In November 1912 museum founder Charles Lang Freer put two rare biblical manuscripts on public view in his Detroit home.

Part of the long-term exhibition The Peacock Room Comes to America, this presentation exemplifies Freer's cosmopolitan aesthetic philosophy by juxtaposing biblical parchments with ceramics gathered from all over Asia and framed by Whistler's brilliant blue and gold decorations.

Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) new rule on single family mortgage insurance loss mitigation procedures. GAO found that: (1) the rule eliminates the Mortgage Assignment Program and provides that HUD may: (a) recompense mortgages for using mortgage foreclosures; (b) pay the mortgagee a partial claim which would be applied to the arrearage of a defaulted mortgage; and (c) accept assignment of a mortgage which the mortgagee has modified to cure the default; and (2) HUD complied with the applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

The Park Hotel, Chennai
Rooms: 215
Reviews - The Park Hotel
- Age Group: 3140
- From: United Arab Emirates
- Traveller type: Family Traveller
Day 1 - Called up the hotel to make a booking apparently no rooms but my secretary managed to get a room at the same time online, understandable but still inconvenient.
-After the bookings done at 9am call the hotel and get connected to the director of rooms who happens to be very arrogant on the phone and requested for adjoining high floor rooms with a baby crib in one. Ask for executive rooms if possible for an additional charge but as per him this category of rooms is all over the property so does not guarantee a high floor. Also we ask what would be an ideal time to c/in and very arrogantly I get a reply that c/in time is 12pm and rooms would be ready than.
-We arrive at 3.30pm and still rooms are not ready. Than we get these rooms around 4.30pm on the 2nd floor not adjoining no baby crib, we ask for executive floor on charge but apparently cannot get it as only the 7th & 8th floor are assigned but very contradictory to what the rooms director Varun told me on the phone. So we move in to the 2nd floor rooms temporarily, phones don't work there and miss 3 business calls thanks to that!!!!
-Anyway we ask for a higher floor and are promised the same, after an hour come down to check and meet Visant (Duty Manager) who assures all will be sorted and in place. But then come across Varun who very arrogantly advices me that he is the DIRECTOR OF ROOMS and he knows best and no good rooms are available and so on. And will try to get rooms on the 5th floor but still don't hear for an hour and as the phones are not working call back to the hotel via cell only to be arrogantly advised again by Varun that we will check so again come down and then someone is sent…..at last at 6pm we check in….
- In our room now and ask for someone to come and get our baby bottles sterilised and still waiting after ½ an hour for the right department to sort it as already 2 guys have come through and at last someone from pvt dining is sent.
Day 2 - No hot water in the room, when asked how we sort it out we are asked to call guest services and we get hot water delivered in BUCKETS...5 star hotel!!!!!!!!
- No turn down service both day 1 & 2 so call again and than its done.
-Go to the pool no attendents after 30mins someone shows up again very indifferent have to ask for towels,no water offered...nothing....we clean our bed with a towel ourselves as it had rained and try to enjoy...
Day 3 - Order food via room service for my son, takes them 2 hrs to deliver!!!!!. Call the SPA to book a treatment no one picks up, after leaving 4 msg's with guest services no one comes back so miss out on it.
This was our 4th stay in this property and the property has gone to the dumps literally in the last year. All bathroom fixtures are rusted, paint peeling off, etc.
Attitude of the team from being friendly & courteous has gone to indifference. Not surprising after meeting the Director of rooms (Asst. GM) when we asked him that we would like to meet the GM are told that in case it's to complain he is very busy with back to back meetings and won't be able to meet him which actually happened even after we left a msg with his sec, as well sent a mail to him during our stay!!!!!!!! and for all this we paid almost $250 per night per room for 2 rooms for 3 nights!!!!!!!!!!!!Stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Top Local Tips for Chennai
TukTuk's Always get the meter switched on - if they wont haggle on the price
Carefully choose the time you arrive Like most Indian cities the traffic can be terrible. Try avoiding arriving during rush hour (0600-0930) and (1700-1930)
Take a direct plane to Chennai.. If you are coming to Chennai directly from abroad, I think it would be better to fly directly.I took a flight to Delhi and used Jet Airways to fly to Chennai. The plane was not so bad, but to change terminals I had to struggle past the taxi mafia and find the bus for transferring to internal terminal-extremely uncomfortable and dirty and very unsafe-and then had to pass the overcrowded noisy,and unorganised security check to take the internal flight.The transfer took 3,5 hrs,and I was nearly missing the plane.The same goes for the way back.The aeroports in Delhi are at very low standart for services, just few small shops that sell food-mostly chips etc-not any place to even sit down, extremely dirty with constructions going on everywhere. Needless to say no indications or signposts.Took me longtime to discover that actually there are two laounges on both sides of the entrance door and that is why my plane was not on any of the remaining unbroken two arrival-departure panos.

Designed by Cube of Tokyo, the USB Owl is a low maintenance – but very wise – pet. Plug it into your computer or laptop and select from three settings (active, slow, and sleep), and the Owl will keep you in various degrees of company throughout the day. MCA Chicago tips the USB Owl as one of the "Top Geek Gifts." Hard to argue, the whole idea is really geeky… but, nonetheless, appealing in both design quirk and potential for short burst amusement.

Safety On Campus
Fire Safety
Fire Safety Regulations
The purpose of University Fire Safety Regulations is to prevent injuries to members of the campus community and physical damage to campus facilities. All fire safety regulations and policies are contained in the department of Housing and Real Estate Services' Undergraduate Residential Living Policies Guide.
Authorized Heat Producing Electrical Appliances
An important fire safety policy is that no heat-producing electric appliances are permitted in student rooms, except for certain authorized items. A complete list of authorized appliances with manufacturer and model numbers is maintained by the Housing Office.
Fire Safety and Dorm Room Furniture
Students are reminded that they are not allowed to move out or replace the existing furniture in their rooms. As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of our students, Princeton University purchases furniture that is flame resistant. In our purchasing agreements with vendors, we require them to meet all applicable fire safety standards, such as California Technical Bulletins 129 and 133. Though we discourage students from bringing their own furniture, if they decide to, we recommend that students limit the number of upholstered items. Students should read the labels of items they are purchasing, in an attempt to buy items that conform to these codes.
Housing Inspection Program
The department of Housing and Real Estate Services conducts a thorough housing inspection program to assure compliance with all University fire safety regulations. Unannounced fire inspections conducted by Housing Inspectors begin in the Fall and occur four times throughout the year. Housing Inspectors follow specific procedures in conducting room inspections. The procedures are intended to insure the least amount of inconvenience to the student.
Housing Inspection Findings
Housing Inspectors will leave a note in your room informing you that at a fire safety inspection was conducted in your room. The note will be followed by an e-mail from the Housing Office within five days of the date of the inspection reporting the inspection findings. If an unauthorized appliance was found in your room it will be confiscated at the time of the inspection. If the inspection reveals violations you will be informed of any fines incurred.
Reclaiming Confiscated Items
Confiscated items will be held at the Inspection Office for the remainder of the academic year. Confiscated items may be reclaimed the week before any University break and at Move Out, at which time they must be removed from campus. To pick up your confiscated item you must contact the Housing Inspectors office at 609-258-3435 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a pick-up.
Penalties for Violations of Fire Safety Regulations
Adherence to fire safety regulations is of such importance that failure to comply will result in a penalty. Penalties for non-compliance are contained in the Residential Living Guide and may include the following:
- Confiscation of Non-Authorized Appliances
- Fines
- Disciplinary action that can affect your University status
- Criminal prosecution
Penalties are clearly stated in Housing's Undergraduate Residential Living Policies Guide and depend on the violation.
Appeals Process
Students may appeal a violation determination by following these guidelines.
Fire Evacuation Drills and Other Fire Emergency Training
State Law requires that the University conduct two unannounced fire evacuation drills per year in your dormitory. Another excellent source for fire safety training is a powerpoint presentation entitled Fire Safety and You! prepared by the University Fire Marshall and the Manager of Dormitories and available online.
Fire Emergencies Policies
The University's Fire Emergency Policy and Procedures include evacuation procedures, a list of building emergency coordinators and designated assembly areas in cases of emergency that require building evacuations.

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- At the beginning of this month, their shelves were bare. But now the Franciscan Church of the Assumption is getting some extra help and it's by the busload!
A group of Assumption parishioners tried to stuff a bus full of donations this weekend to help stock Assumption's shelves. Most people brought a few bags, but there were a few full car loads.
The group organizing the collection says they couldn't help but do something after hearing about the food pantry's great need.
"We, as a community, need to come together. We've got a lot of hungry people out there and with the economy being the way it is, it's not going to get any better, so we need to help," said Linda Stephan.
The group says they'll continue to take donations at GC2 Gymnastics in East Syracuse if people can't take their donations directly to the pantry.

Have questions? Click to read our ADA FAQ
A copy of the DOJ Final Rule granting the extension can be downloaded at from the ADA website.
This new legislation was initially passed on July 23, 2010 and became law on September 15, 2010 after being published in the Federal Register. This new legislation requires commercial swimming pools to institute approved means of access for their pools (pool lifts and/or a sloped entry) on or before March 15, 2012 - later extended to January 31, 2013.Browse our complete selection of pool lifts from top of the line manufacturers like Global Lift Corp and SR Smith.
Manufacturers often refer to ADA-compliant, ADA Approved, certified or verified pool lifts. What does this mean, and how can you ensure that you are getting a lift that truly meets the ADA requirements for your pool?To begin with, the ADA does not approve any device designed to provide accessibility to any facility. There is no governmental or outside agency who is licensed to test any products for ADA compliance and designate them as ADA Approved. This wording is misleading and may lead to obtaining a product that may not actually make your facility accessible.Determining ComplianceIn the case of swimming pools, accessibility is a process that involves both the specific pool combined with a means of access (pool lift, etc.). Not every means of access will make every pool accessible as required by the ADA guidelines. For pool lifts, there are specific requirements for the lifts themselves, such as seat width and lifting capacity, but there are also requirements that are unique to each installation that will determine if a particular lift will make that pool accessible. See Table 1 for a brief description of each requirement.Here are some examples to provide clarification:1. Pool Lift A meets all the pool lift specific ADA requirements and has an arm reach of 30. The swimming pool purchasing the lift has a deck to water distance of 15. The minimum distance that a lift needs to submerge the user into the water is 18, Pool Lift A does not meet the ADA requirements for this pool because the 15 deck to water distance plus the 18 minimum equals 33. The arm is not long enough. This pool combined with this lift is not ADA compliant. However, Pool Lift B meets all the pool lift specific ADA requirements and has an arm reach of 35. This pool lift on this swimming pool would make the pool ADA compliant.2. A pool lift that meets all of the pool specific requirements is located next to a wall without enough clear deck space adjacent to the lift to meet the clear deck space requirement. Even though the lift itself meets all of the pool specific specifications, this would not be an ADA compliant installation.Requirement* Pool Specific Pool Lift SpecificWater depth at point of lift entry is no more than 48. When over the deck, the centerline of seat is at least 16 from the edge of the pool.There is 36 of clear deck space to the side parallel with the lift seat. ** **Seat is 16-19 from the deck to the top of the seat surface. Seat is at least 16 wide. There are footrests that move with the seat. Armrests (optional) are removable or fold clear of the seat to allow the user to easily load the lift.The lift is user operable from the deck and water. The seat submerges at least 18 into the water. *** ***Lifting capacity is at least 300 pounds. Compliant, Certified and VerifiedWhen a manufacturer refers to a pool lift as ADA-compliant, this can only refer to the pool lift specific requirements as shown in Table 1. Since the configuration of every pool will vary, it is impossible to guarantee that a pool lift will be compliant in every situation, even if it fulfills all of the pool lift specific requirements.Some manufacturers may have a third party verify that their lifts are ADA-compliant, but again, this is only verification of the pool lift specific elements, such as: seat width and height, the presence of a footrest, that the lift is self-operable by the user, and that they lifting capacity is over 300 pounds. Even third party verified lifts will not make every single pool ADA-compliant because of variable factors of each individual pool.Ultimately, the responsibility of ensuring that a pool lift meets the ADA requirements falls on the consumer. Using the information contained in this document will help to make the selection process easier and less confusing.

"At our first practice we got in a huge fight and decided it was a mistake to have even attempted to start a band," says Who'da Funk It? guitarist and singer Bess Hepner.
"Now here we are two years later, still somehow playing together. What I think is really unique about our band is we're all best friends. We spend all our time together, going to shows, jamming, sitting around."
Hepner met her future bandmates—keyboardist and singer Deja Carr, bassist and singer Nina Kent and drummer and singer Emma Sevene—at the Institute for the Musical Arts, an "all-women's rock and roll institute" and recording studio in Goshen.
"We were between the ages of 12 and 15 when we met," Hepner says. "After the camp we realized, 'Hey, we all live near each other, why not start a band?' So we did."
The group's high-energy brand of rock is admittedly difficult to categorize as it draws liberally on a number of disparate musical strains.
"It's always a challenge to define our sound," explains Carr. "We try to mix different genres as much as possible. Some people may hear funk or ska when we play, while others have told us we sound more jazzy and rock-y. The weirdest comment we've gotten on our sound was someone told us we sound like country klezmer."
Carr says the songwriting process is different for every song. Sometimes a member will come in to rehearsal with a riff or tune and the four will start jamming on it; other songs arrive more fully formed.
"Sometimes it takes us an hour to write a song. Sometimes it takes a month," adds Hepner.
The band spends a majority of its time listening to local music and attending area shows, so it's no surprise to hear the four reel off names like The Feel, Bella's Bartok, The Alchemystics and Rubblebucket as major influences.
Who'da Funk It? is currently recording an album, Man Up, at Amherst's Northfire Studios, with an eye toward a September release date. After taking time out to write new material, the quartet has five shows lined up for June, including its third appearance at Northampton's Iron Horse Music Hall on June 30.

From the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish
-- Three public meetings during April in southeastern New Mexico will focus on how landowners will be affected by new rules changing the way private-land antelope licenses are allocated.
The State Game Commission adopted the new rules affecting the Antelope Private Lands Use System, or A-PLUS, at its December 2010 meeting in Clovis.
The rules were revised after considering Department recommendations, public comments during Commission meetings and more than 30 statewide public meetings, and hundreds of written public comments submitted over a period of more than two years.
Important changes include allowing private-land antelope hunters to hunt only within ranch boundaries, and replacing Antelope Management Units with Game Management Units, the same units used to identify deer and elk hunting areas statewide.
All three meetings will be from 6 to 8 p.m. They will be held April 12 in Roswell at the Game and Fish office, 1912 W. 2nd. St.; in Carrizozo on April 13 at Lincoln County Courthouse, 300 Central, and on April 14 in Portales at ENMU Science Building, Room 108, 1414 S. Ave. K.
For more information about the new A-PLUS rules and the meetings, contact Ryan McBee, Southeast Area game manager at (575) 624-6135.
Information about the 2011-2012 antelope seasons appears in the Big Game and Trapper Rules & Information booklet, available at license vendors, Department offices and online at www.wildlife.state.nm.us.

A Few Things To Consider When Getting Patio Garden Furniture
You can turn your garden into a heavenly space where you can lounge, dine, or just sit and enjoy your beautiful surroundings. The size of your outdoor garden area and what your personal vision is for that area will come into play when choosing pieces of furniture. For small gardens bistro sets are popular, while larger garden areas can accommodate traditional patio furniture sets.
Don't forget those garden cushions! Once you have the right items, you need things that match–including those cushions. You may want to keep with your botanical theme and choose outdoor cushions for your patio furniture that is gardening related. This could be the color green, or perhaps a gardening or botanical print. There are so many different kinds of outdoor cushions for your garden space that you will have plenty of choices to select from. You might even want to coordinate the color of your cushions with the predominant color in your garden.
If you have the space, you may want to consider installing an outdoor cooking device, whether it is a grill, smoker or other apparatus. This gives you the ability to cook outdoors. Cooking and dining al fresco, or 'out of doors' is a romantic and special experience many friends, families and couples enjoy in the warm weather. To keep bugs away from your evening gathering light citronella candles which are a natural pest deterrent. You might also want to provide ambiance and lighting with hanging Chinese lanterns or using tiki torches.
Patio garden furniture is a must-have for anyone who wants to make the most of their outdoor garden area. After all, you can stroll through the garden but when you have furniture set up you can also sit for awhile and enjoy a warm cup of tea in the sunshine, listening to the birds sing and marveling at the blossoms and blooms around you. Even if you don't have much money, there are affordable sets that you can probably manage. The cheapest patio furniture is usually made from plastic but is perfect for your first set and ideal for those on a budget. You can always upgrade to metal or teak, an exotic hardwood prized for the manufacture of outdoor furniture.

UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children
The Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children (Guidelines) were formally endorsed by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on 20 November 2009. The Guidelines enhance the implementation of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child 1989 and focuses on two main aspects:
- Ensure that children do not find themselves in alternative care unnecessarily; and
- That where out-of-home care is provided, it is delivered under appropriate conditions responding to the child's rights and best interests.
ISS commitment to the Guidelines from the beginning
ISS is extremely pleased with the outcome at the UNGA given its early involvement from 2004 with UNICEF, when the call for International Standards was first made and both organisations initiated a consultation process for the Guidelines.
These joint efforts sparked further progress in 2005, when the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child held a day of general discussion on children without parental care. In its final report, the Committee recommended the establishment of an expert meeting to prepare a set of international standards for the protection of children without parental care for the UNGA. In response, ISS with other key groups prepared an initial draft of the Guidelines.
A proposal was submitted for consultation to States and Governments in Brasilia in August 2006. As a result of this intergovernmental meeting - a "Group of Friends" made up of 15 interested States led by the Government of Brazil - was established to spearhead the process.
Numerous consultations were held in Cairo, Geneva and New York etc with various Governments, UN Agencies, NGOs and of course children. In 2009, a text was agreed upon and on June 17, 2009 the Human Rights Council adopted by consensus a procedural resolution A/HRC/11/L.11 submitting the "Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children" to the UNGA for the 20th anniversary of the UNCRC.
ISS continues its advocacy role now and into the future
ISS is now actively promoting the dissemination and implementation of the Guidelines through various channels. ISS and SOS Children's Villages International have launched a small publication of introductory questions to gauge whether the national policy reflects the principles espoused in the Guidelines (see below).
ISS has undertaken a lead role in the development of the Implementation and Monitoring Handbook for the Guidelines, managing consultants as well as an international Steering Group made up of ATD 4th World, Better Care Network, RELAF, SOS-Children's Villages International and UNICEF.
ISS as the co-convener of the NGO Working Group on Children without Parental Care based in Geneva has also drafted and finalised joint strategy to promote alternative care issues at the United Nations with its parallel working group based in New York. In addition to the handbook efforts mentioned above, this work will involve building "champions" for these issues within country missions as well as lobbying the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child so that the Day of General Discussion in 2014 will focus on strengthening and supporting families and caregivers.
Furthermore, ISS is undertaking treaty body mainstreaming activities to ensure that all the treaties (in addition to the CRC Committee) are aware of the Guidelines and if relevant, refer to them in their discussion with State members as well as include them in their concluding observations.

Weaning: Cabbage leaves while weaning?
I have read that cabbage leaves can be helpful in reducing your milk supply as you wean your baby. How can cabbage help?Question:
Debbi Donovan
Debbi Donovan is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, as well as a retired La Leche League Leader. For more than a decade, Debbi... Read more
Cabbage leaves can help you to remain more comfortable as you are decreasing your baby's feeds by helping to relieve any engorgement you might be experiencing. They may also help to reduce your milk supply. The exact action of the cabbage in reducing engorgement is not known at this time, but in practice they have proven to be helpful for many mothers.
To prepare cabbage leaf compresses:
- Ahead of time, wash cabbage leaves, allow to dry, and place in a zip-lock style bag, refrigerating until needed.
- Apply after slightly crumpling in your hands (or with rolling pin) to crush veins.
- Use one or more of the cabbage leaves, as needed, to cover all areas of your breast, including the upper and outer quadrants --under your armpit. Your bra will hold leaves in place.
- Reapply in two hours or so, as the leaves begin to wilt.
- Use as needed to help with engorgement, and possibly to help diminish your milk supply when weaning. (Be cautious if using while continuing to breastfeed, as this therapy may decrease your milk supply.)
Upon application you may find you begin to get relief in as little as two hours. Milk may begin dripping from your breasts if they are very engorged. Use cotton nursing pads between your bra and the cabbage leaves to help avoid any leakage. Best wishes!
