Have you ever been out for a walk and had your Lab start barking like crazy? It makes you wish you could disappear on the spot!
Having a dog that "mouths off" when you really don´t want it to can be a real problem.
So how do you train your dog to stop barking?
To start off, you need to understand why your Lab barks and what forms of barking you can control.
Dogs were born to bark
…and even after centuries of breeding, they still feel the need to vocalize their feelings. In fact, there are all kinds or reasons your Lab may feel the urge to bark – when he´s
- angry
- excited
- scared
- defending its territory
- giving alarm
- seeking attention
- saying "hello"
- feeling frustrated, or even
- when it´s injured or ill
And while you´ll never be able to completely stop Labrador barking, you CAN try to understand the triggers and take steps to control the situation.
Before you do anything, though, ask yourself if your Labrador´s reaction to a situation is warranted. If you decide it isn´t and you want to take steps to control the barking, you need to think about
- When your dog barks
- What it is barking at?
- Whether something specific seems to be triggering your Lab´s reaction?
Because once you´re clear on why your Labrador feels the need to bark it will be much easier to take steps to control it.
Click here to Discover the Secret to Solving Your Labrador Behavior Problems
Here´s a list of 7 tips to help you on your way:
- First and foremost, avoid reinforcing your Lab´s poor behavior by rewarding it with attention
- Refrain from yelling at your Labrador. Remember, your dog thinks it has a valid reason for barking and, by yelling, you´ll lead your dog to think you´re supporting its cause!
- Avoid offering your Lab comfort or a treat when it´s barking – this will only serve to reinforce the behavior you´re trying to stop.
- Training, training and more training is essential. In fact, training your Labrador to bark on cue is a proven method when it comes to dealing with barking issues. If you teach your Lab to bark on cue, chances are it will not bark when the cue hasn´t been given. You might even consider teaching both the speak and quiet commands to help speed up the training process.
- Train your Lab that it needs to be calm to get what it wants. If your Labrador is barking, wait for it to stop before you use praise or treats of any kind.
- If you have trouble with your Lab barking when either the doorbell or the telephone rings, you´ll need to make sure you don´t react to either one. By doing this, you´ll show your dog there´s no reason to be alarmed or anxious when it hears these sounds. You´ll need to ring both the phone and the doorbell repeatedly during your trainings to help your Labrador get used to the sounds and learn to react calmly when it hears them.
- If barking is a problem when you return home after being away, make a point of ignoring your Lab until it´s had a chance to calm down. Once it´s calm, you can greet your pet and give it the attention it deserves.
Here are some extra tips to help keep your Labrador barking problems in check when you can´t be at home:
- Consider leaving either the radio or TV on while you´re gone. Often playing soothing music in the background can help calm your Lab´s anxiousness about being left alone
- Be sure and leave some of your Labrador´s favorite chew toys out so it can keep itself busy while you´re gone
- And before you go, take your Lab for a walk and a make time for a short game of fetch. Providing mental stimulation and plenty of exercise will help your pet be healthier, happier, and less anxious.
Check out this short video showing a poodle that kept barking at people as they left. Using a simple technique, Doggy Dan was able to get him to stop…in just minutes!
The key to continued training success is to become the pack leader. When you manage that, the training you do with your Lab will have a far greater impact…and you will have the well-behaved dog you desire!

Bournemouth have agreed a fee with Charlton for Yann Kermorgant, Sky sources understand.
Sky Sports that Bournemouth had lodged a bid for the French striker.
Now Charlton have agreed terms with Bournemouth and have given him permission to talk with the South Coast club.
The 32-year-old has been with Charlton since 2011, and had attracted interest from Scottish champions Celtic in recent weeks.
But Bournemouth look firmly in pole position to land the former Leicester City front-man.

Tuesday's Virginia earthquake again tested the nation's infrastructure, which came through pretty well. But it also reminded us of vulnerabilities.
Rail systems for freight operators and commuters alike slowed, as inspectors checked the tracks and circuits. Some air operations paused, a nuclear power plant shut down, and roadways quickly clogged around Washington, D.C., and other major East Coast metro areas that emptied their high-rise buildings of workers.
Damage assessments are wrapping up this morning, but with a few exceptions the East is getting back to normal after one shaky afternoon and evening. The tremor was felt from Atlanta to Montreal, in a reminder of the earth's power, and brought quite a mental adjustment for those of us in its immediate zone who have come to think of earthquakes as something far away.
Norfolk Southern Railway, Virginia-based and with major lines near the earthquake epicenter, Tweeted in the hours after the quake struck that "preliminary reports indicate no injuries to our transportation infrastructure," although it was operating at restricted speeds in some areas as a precaution.
The Federal Aviation Administration by late afternoon lifted its initial hold on flights into some eastern cities, and the White House – which for a time sent its employees out for a long walk in Lafayette Park as the earth rattled – soon assured us there was no major infrastructure damage. Stores and restaurants stayed open to a bustling business.
But it was also not nothing. A quake that cracked the Washington Monument, shook pinnacles off the National Cathedral and blew masonry out of the Capitol Dome also triggered so many phone calls that voice communications quickly clogged. You could usually text people but not talk with them. That brings to mind times like 9/11 and major storms when cell phone networks simply can't cope with catastrophic demand.
The region could get another test within days. Right now, a hurricane is building strength as it heads toward North Carolina's Outer Banks and perhaps the Washington-Baltimore area that just wrestled through quake disruptions.
An earthquake that was mild in its effects served as a reminder to be prepared, adjust to the unexpected and be ready for the next time when normal transport and communications systems might slump under the strain.

Matthew Mickler, Junior Counselor for KIC Summer Camps
"Through the camps, I have learned how to work with all sorts of people, and this has helped me to become more effective in various aspects of my life."
Matthew Joseph Mickler, 16, is currently a student at St. Mary's High School in Annapolis. Matt first attended a Kids in College summer camp in 1997, when he participated in the Sports Jamboree camp. Since then he has grown tremendously, moving up from a Counselor in Training to a Junior Counselor.
"I became a Counselor in Training because I wanted to keep adding to the camp environment that I loved," said Matt. "I volunteered to be a Counselor in Trainer, and I loved it so much the first year that I decided to go back for a second term. My responsibilities varied from camp to camp, in that at some camps I was simply an "old camper" aiding the counselors, while at others I was more of a teacher's assistant."
Matt said that he keeps coming back to the camps year after year because he enjoys the camp environment and the variety of the camps offered. He said that the people who work at the camps are very friendly. This summer, Matt will be serving as a Junior Counselor.
"As a Junior Counselor, I will have more responsibilities than I had as a Counselor in Training, and also more freedoms," said Matt. "I wanted to be a camp counselor because I saw it as the next stage in my camp career at AACC."
Matt said that he particularly enjoys the camps that focus on history, science and athletics. He is very interested in camps that allow him to learn new skills.
"Through the camps, I have learned how to work with all sorts of people, and this has helped me to become more effective in various aspects of my life," said Matt. "The variety of the camps has let me experience some very interesting things. For example, last summer we did "Spy Camp" and then visited the Spy museum. In Sports Jamboree I get to participate in sports that I usually can't either because of a scheduling conflict or because there is no team available for me. Through the years I have done writing camps, cooking, dinosaurs and medicine. One camp seems more interesting than the next. It's just a really fun way to spend the summer. It's definitely not boring!"
Matt is looking forward to the summer and the camps. Looking further ahead, you may find him in law school one day. He said that he is considering becoming a lawyer, but the idea of owning his own business sounds very interesting as well.

PITTSBORO — This weekend marks the two-year anniversary since a fire destroyed the Chatham County Courthouse.
The county is working toward re-opening the courthouse doors by the end of the year. Locals say the building represented a piece of the county's history. The total cost of reconstruction will average $6 million.
Officials say a construction worker accidentally sparked the fire with a soldering iron in 2010.
"Some of the wood in there was very old and very dry and that started the fire," said Chatham County Commission Chair Brian Bock.
The courthouse was undergoing a major renovation at the the time. Now, a major reconstruction is under way.
"Part of the job has been to get the rest of the wood out. The commissioners decided to rebuild it with a steel infrastructure," said architect Taylor Hobbs.
Located in the center of Pittsboro, the courthouse is a major landmark to the community. The building has been a part of Chatham County for more than 130 years.
"The courthouse represents a lot of history for the county. It's more than just a building and you can see that in people's emotions as they stood around and watched the clean up," said Bock.
"The day after the fire people put flowers outside of the construction fence which you don't usually see for a building. I think it speaks to what this building means. Not only to the downtown area, but what it means to Pittsboro and Chatham County at large," said Hobbs.
The courthouse was also home to the Chatham Historical Museum. Several of the artifacts were save and will be back on displace once the building re-opens.

Want to idle your big truck in California? You'll need a sticker
Way back in 2008, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) decided to make it illegal to idle diesel-engined trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) over 14,000 pounds for more than five minutes. That GVWR is above that of most heavy-duty pickups like the Dodge Ram 3500, Ford F-350 and GMC Sierra 3500, but does cover most chassis-cab trucks.
CARB's regulation says that manufacturers of diesel engines have to either incorporate an anti-idling system or to certify that the engine emits 30 grams or fewer of nitrogen oxide per hour in order to get a sticker. If the oil-burning engine meets that limit, it can, at least in theory, idle forever.
For 2011, the Ram 4500/5500 and Ford F-450/F-550 chassis-cab trucks meet CARB's certified clean idle requirements, meaning that they get one them flashy stickers (pictured). Being able to idle indefinitely isn't really sticker-worthy, right?

Good move for both parties...
If you're curious as to why Cotchery would agree to be a Steeler, lok no further than Chris Hoke's quote when he resigned with the Steelers in 2007:
"I feel like they (the Steelers) respect what I do," Hoke told the Valley Independent of Monessen, one of the few newspapers that bothered to interview him after his signing. "It would be fun to start, but the thought of going somewhere else -- you might not mesh with the coaching staff or the players or the organization, and the next thing you know you're out the door in a year or two."
Buzzing, Excellent news!
Teams know that taking Steelers doesn't work out for ANYONE these days. We actually have a team and each fills a void. We keep the stars and the others do a good job or holding their own. But when someone takes them thinking they are a budding star, they are unhappy and out a bunch of money. Redskins, Cardinals, Browns and Bengals. All taking our leftovers. We have even shown that when these players get cut from their new teams, that we will take them back and they do well. Foote, Randle El, etc.
This is really big, especially since I just read that Adam Schefter reports Wallace has no intention of signing his one-year tender. He could be sitting out a long time.
Wallace is under contract for next year...he has no choice but to play. Unless he signs a long-term deal with us or someone else, I guarantee he will be signing his one year tender. Otherwise, he'd be playing out his rookie contract. I'm not sure what that would be, but I'm guessing a whole lot less than the 1st round tender of $2.7M.
"I hate him. Everybody says I'm supposed to be polite when I talk to you all, but I hate him..." "He talks too much, he doesn't make sense, he's fat, he's sloppy, he acts like he's the best thing since sliced bread. He's ugly, he stinks, his mouth stinks, his breath stinks, and basically his soul stinks, too.
"Not too many people have personalities like that and survive in life. I don't know how he does it."

The difference most relied on, between the American and other republics, consists in the principle of representation; which is the pivot on which the former move, and which is supposed to have been unknown to the latter, or at least to the ancient part of them. The use which has been made of this difference, in reasonings contained in former papers, will have shown that I am disposed neither to deny its existence nor to undervalue its importance.
-- James Madison, Federalist 63, March 1, 1788.

The National Labor Relations Board www.nlrb.gov is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1935 to administer the National Labor Relations Act, the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector. The statute guarantees the right of employees to organize and to bargain collectively with their employers or to refrain from all such activity.
Generally applying to all employers involved in interstate commerce--other than airlines, railroads, agriculture, and government--the Act implements the national labor policy of assuring free choice and encouraging collective bargaining as a means of maintaining industrial peace. Through the years, Congress has amended the Act and the Board and courts have developed a body of law drawn from the statute.
What Does the NLRB Do?
In its statutory assignment, the NLRB has two principal functions: (1) to determine, through [secret-ballot elections,] the free democratic choice by employees whether they wish to be represented by a union in dealing with their employers and if so, by which union; and (2) to prevent and remedy unlawful acts, called [unfair labor practices,] by either employers or unions.
The Election Process
The first step in the organizing process begins when a group of employees decides they want to band together to deal with their employers. This doesn't mean necessarily that all the employees are unhappy. Some may be. But some may just like some of the things that unionization can bring them. Some of those things are typically a better standard of living, better working conditions, better benefits, greater work opportunities, training and being a part of something that stands for working people and families to name a few reasons.
When enough interest exists, the Union may seek to collect authorization cards. The authorization card states that the employee is interested in having the IBT or another labor organization represent them for purposes of collective bargaining.
When the Union gets 30% of the authorization cards of an appropriate employee unit the Union may petition the NLRB to conduct an election to determine if a majority of the employees voting in the group at hand wish to have the Union represent them. Most unions will not usually file a petition with only 30% of the cards collected. As you can readily see, 30% does not constitute a majority of the employees. Thus, a union will probably wait until there is a better show of support before filing an election petition.
Once a petition is filed, the company is notified by the NLRB within a couple of days. If the Union and the employer agree that the petitioned for unit is an appropriate unit, the parties can sign a stipulated election agreement and set a date, time, and place for the secret ballot election or arrangements for a mail ballot if necessary.
At the same time the petition is filed a hearing date is set to occur within 2 weeks. If the company and the union cannot agree on the make up of the proposed bargaining unit a hearing officer of the NLRB conducts the hearing to resolve these disputes. Each side has the opportunity to file briefs and shortly thereafter a decision is made by the Regional Office of the NLRB in Seattle.
After the hearing decision the NLRB will make arrangements on the conduct of the election provided the Union still has a sufficient showing of interest after the decision renders the size of the unit. The election is also scheduled to occur within approximately 7 weeks from the date the petition is filed. If the decision significantly increases the size of the bargaining unit the Union may not have collected 30% of the authorization cards and would have to do so before the NLRB will conduct an election.
The time between the hearing and the secret ballot election is commonly referred to as the "organizing drive." This is the period when the employer tries to convince the employees in the unit to vote "no" in the election. This is also the time the Union tries to convince employees to vote "yes" in the election.
The advantage at this stage often goes to the employer unless the employees are solidly resolved to stick together. Some employers have been known to wage an all out assault on the Union. Others try to shower their employees with love. Some do both. Smart employees understand it is usually nothing more than a ploy. Often, employers use psychology to prey on the fears or insecurities of their employees. This can be an effective tool for the employer. Remember, however, that the election simply allows the Union to sit at the bargaining table with the employer at no cost to the employee. And remember also that the election is a secret ballot. There is no way the employer will know how employees vote unless the employee freely divulges that information to the employer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by lily from are you a stick figure? When I unwrapped these, I thought they were only for the teeniest tiniest of girls and I almost didn't even bother trying to put them on. They do actually fit me decently, but my calves are on the smaller side of average. I can't imagine you'd be happy with the fit if you would call yourself anything larger than a medium -- the lacy knit would be stretched out way too much to look its best, and the top cuff would cut into your leg and make for the sausage look above. They are aesthetically lovely as the name promises, for sure.... so get yourself a present if you have thin legs :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skyzeri from Adorable I was looking for some cute knee-high white socks, and stumbled into these. They are really great quality, and I love them! My legs are pretty small, so I had no problem with the sizing. I'm 5'5 and they go right over my knee.
Date published: 2014-03-09
Rated 4 out of 5 by LadyK from Great but a little small! When I opened my package I was a little worried these wouldn't fit. They look tiny, but they do stretch out quite a bit. They fit me a little odd, I have long muscular legs and the cuff happened to land right in the middle of my kneecap. I rolled it down so they sit under the knee and they were very comfortable but there's no way they'll stretch over my calf and sit above the knee. The lace pattern stretched out a little more than I liked around the calf, but all in all they are very cute socks and much warmer and more comfortable than I expected when I opened the package. Not my favourite from sock dreams, but no regrets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Heatherfeather from So Pretty! I just got these in the mail today, and I immediately put them on to go out to dinner. I got them in Blush, it's a really subtle pink- almost a neutral. I am 5'5", 120lbs, skinnier legs. I would say the other review about these not stretching is partially true- the body of the sock is beautifully soft and stretchy, but the tops are a bit tight; this is great for ol' chicken legs, here, since all my socks fall down like a little kid's otherwise. But I could see the tops cutting in to curvy legs (ouchy). I am impressed by the feel of these as well, the acrylic content worried me (can feel so plastic sometimes), but these feel more cottony, soft, and fluffy! Gorgeous! Soo cute with my outfit tonight, can't wait to wear them again- I hope they hold up well, they will be getting lots of wear!

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4hgirl from Soft, warm, comfy I bought these about a year ago - they're a very light grey. I love love love them - whether I'm wearing them as OTK, cuffed knee highs, or all the way down for super a scrunched look. However, I disagree with the other two reviewers - I have 16" calves, am 5'8", about 200lbs, and mine are plenty big in all areas - even a bit too big in the foot! Maybe they have changed their sizes in the last year? Anyway, they are wonderfully warm (but not too much so), even though they look like they wouldn't be, because of the pattern of the knit. Super soft, and after a year are just as soft & stretchy as the day they arrived. I'd say their stay-up-ability is medium, but I love them just the same.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AnastassiaBear from So cute! I bought these not too long ago (Robin Egg) the color is AMAZING. So pretty. And the detailing on these socks is just wonderful. I absolutely love them! I'm 5'4" and 110 lbs and they fit me very well, tight on the thigh so they won't slide down (which is exactly what I want!) They may not fit taller or curvier ladies as well, since I'm fairly petite and they were perfect (and a bit tight) on me.
Date published: 2014-07-31
How long are these from top to bottom? Are they longer than the O Basics?
They're about 22" from heel to cuff, unstretched, which is about the same as most O Basics (different colors of the yarn that O Basics are made from will act a little differently when knitted, so there is a little variation in length - O Lovelies are made from different, less variable yarn).
Date published: 2013-10-07
Looking at the O lovlies - just wondering what color the Pebble actually is? Is it grey or more white? Thanks!
Not a problem! Colours as soft as the O Lovelies can be hard to "read" on a monitor. Pebble is a sort of pastel tan or beige (Mist is a very light grey and Pearl is an off-white).
Date published: 2014-03-18
Is the large size of the o lovelies looser on the calves and thighs as well?
No, they are only larger in foot size. Unfortunately we cannot get more stretch out of that particular style of sock.
Date published: 2014-02-06
Is Pearl white or a shade of another?
Pearl is a light ivory color, very close to white when seen from a distance.
Date published: 2014-03-03
will they fit on plus size thighs? cause I really want them but don't want to buy them if they're not going to fit properly
I'm afraid that the cuffs only stretch up to 15" around, which by most people's standards of "plus sized" is probably going to be too small. If it's an openwork OTK sock that you're looking for, you might have better luck with something like the Crochet Lover, which comes in a lot of colors (including a few pastels, like the O Lovelies), but the cuffs stretch up to 20", which makes them a good OTK or knee high (depending on calf size) on more legs! http://www.sockdreams.com/products/crochet-lover-over-the-knees Then there are these: http://www.sockdreams.com/products/dreamy-bamboo-otk They only come in 2 colors, but they feel and look amazing, and stretch up to 22" at the tops. The ivory can also be dyed, if you're looking for a specific color.

The "Gay Men Don't Get Fat" book tour took me to every nook and cranny of our beautiful country. The highlight? In Los Angeles I was given a starring role on the Chelsea Lately show. The glam and hilarious Ms. Handler gave her sidekick Chuy the night off and allowed me to fill in. I can now die happy.

Change the system, not the climate: Vancouver panel
Voices from Bolivia and Venezuela on the fight for climate justice after Copenhagen featuring Pablo Solon, Bolivia's representative at the United Nations, lead spokesperson on climate change at the Copenhagen Summit, and Federico Fuentes, a participant in the revolutionary process in Venezuela and writer, on Sunday, March 7, 2010 at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada.
Fairy tales versus reality in Copenhagen
Denmark is the home of renowned children's author Hans Christian Andersen. Copenhagen is dotted with historical spots where Andersen lived and wrote. The Little Mermaid was one of his most famous tales, published in 1837, along with The Emperor's New Clothes.
As the United Nations' climate summit, called "COP 15," enters its final week, with more than 100 world leaders arriving amid growing protests, the notion that a binding agreement will come from this conference looks more and more like a fairy tale.
Climate leadership needed in Copenhagen
Outside, Copenhagen has been transformed into a vibrant, global hub of climate-change activism, forums and protest planning. In one square, an ice sculpture of a polar bear melts day by day, and an open-air exhibit of towering photos displays "100 places to remember that will disappear."

How to do what makes me happy
How I did it: Ok so I'm actually still working on it but... . Consider it almost done!
A friend of mine gave me the assignment to make a big wallpainting of a beautiful landscape. This is totally my thing and really the thing that makes me happy. In the meantime I restored the rest of his house that he is living in.
And that too made me very happy. Like the cherry on the pie, I am now busy with doing a mosaic in his kitchen :D It's going to be a balinese dragon ( I might upload a photo of it) So thanks to my friend I had a good excuse to devote myself to a project I'm totally into ! :D
If you're doing something that makes you happy ánd you help someone else along with it. It feels like a bonus.
Lessons & tips: Make a project of it. And maybe keep a journal of it. So that you can see the progress you make. But doing something completely pointless can also make you happy ( I'm very good at that too )

News + Politics
Seven Real-Life Superheroes
Real people. Real crimestoppers. That's the philosophy of these citizens who don costumes and capes and head out into the night to foil evildoers. Read their amazing stories
In our August issue, Jon Ronson braved the mean streets of Seattle to go on crime-fighting patrol with Real Life Superhero Phoenix Jones and his crew. On August 8th, the movement's masked members get their documentary debut in "Superheroes" on HBO. We talked with a few of these average Joes on what drives them to put on spandex and patrol America's streets as their superhero alter-egos. Among them, Mr. Xtreme, Geist, Insignis, and the one and only Master Legend.
Mr. Xtreme
San Diego, CA
Day Job: Security guard
RLSH since 2006
GQ: What made you decide to be a Real Life Superhero?
Mr. Xtreme: I saw a lot of gang violence in San Diego in the 1990s, a lot of kids getting gunned down. I was down about the violent crime and victimization of innocent people, all the apathy out there. I was always inspired by superheroes, action heroes, comic books. I started searching the Internet and saw all these guys and thought Man, somebody does this.
GQ: What do you do?
Mr. Xtreme: 80-90% of what we do as the Xtreme Justice League is devoted to crime fighting. Getting out there and patrolling, trying to prevent crime by making our presence known. The uniform is a visual deterrent. When I walk down the street and a criminal sees me, they don't commit a crime
GQ: How has your life changed since becoming a Real Life Superhero?
Mr. Xtreme: It's gotten quite a bit more complicated. At first this sounds like a lot of fun, but it's actually a lot of work—patrolling in the heat, with 30 or 40 lbs. of gear, all after my regular job as a security guard.
GQ: What's your most memorable moment?
Mr. Xtreme: I saved a life doing this before. Before Mr. Xtreme, back in 2001 while patrolling with another group, we saw a guy trying to kill a woman in an alley. We ended up intervening and cornered him, gave the victim medical attention. He got put in jail for like, 34 years, on several charges. That was motivation to last a lifetime.
GQ: What are the benefits of doing this for you?
Mr. Xtreme: It's almost like my therapy. I myself have been the victim of a violent crime, in my childhood. I've been a victim of sexual abuse, I've been attacked by gang members as a teenager, and held up at gunpoint. And sometimes I deal with depression. If I wasn't out there patrolling, I'd sit around drinking and not doing anything productive or positive with my free time.

SONY NP-FM50 battery Description:
SONY NP-FM50 rechargeable camcorder batteries. This is a 1500mAh 7.4V sony NP-FM50 camcorder batteries for Sony NP-FM50 . Brand new, Never refurbished, Full 1 year warranty. 100% OEM compatible.
SONY NP-FM50 battery Warranty:
Camcorder battery using time, not only with quality, electricity, how you use the camcorder is equally important.
1, A new SONY np-fm50 battery pack comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the devices manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the camcorder battery may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. # When charging the camcorder battery for the first time the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Remove the replacement np-fm50 camcorder battery from the device, reinsert it and repeat the charging procedure.
2, It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the sony camcorder battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-Ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run the device under the digital camcorder battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual.
3, If the camcorder battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that lithium NP-FM50 battery be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.
4, The milliamp-hour (mAh) rating of the Hi-Capacity np-fm50 camcorder battery will often be higher than the one on the original battery. A higher mAh rating is indicative of a longer lasting (higher capacity) battery and will not cause any incompatibilities. A Hi-Capacity digital camcorder battery will, in most cases, outperform the original by 30% to 50%.
5, New camcorder needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can be condition to full capacity. Rechargeable batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused. Always store a digital camcorder in a fully charged staged for storage.
6, Don't short circuit terminal or store your digital camcorder with metal parts. Don't connect and disconnect the camcorder within a short interval to prevent irregular charging of the rechargeable battery.
7, It's okay to use different brands of sony camcorder batteries in the same device. Voltage is the voltage, and the device neither knows nor cares that made the camera batteries you put in it. Remember, you can mix brands but not types.
8, SONY NP-FM50 battery replacement self-discharge quicker when it's hot. They're fine at room temperature, but once it's over 90o or so, they'll start losing their charge faster. So don't leave a digital camcorder in a hot car.
9, Don't overheat. Keep camcorder battery for SONY NP-FM50 out of hot places, like your car. Your car can be an oven, and baking your digital camcorder batteries shortens their life.

|The abbreviation for "total dissolved solids".
|Temporary Hardness
|Water hardness due to the presence of calcium and magnesium carbonates and bicarbonates, which can be precipitated by heating the water. Now largely replaced by the term "carbonate hardness". (See carbonate hardness, permanent hardness.)
|A very low concentration of a substance in water. The term is sometimes used to indicate the concentration which can just be detected.
|Throughput Volume
|The amount of solution passed through an ion exchange bed before the ion exchanger is exhausted.
|An analytical process in which a standard solution in a calibrated vessel is added to a measured volume of sample until an endpoint, such as a color change, is reached. From the volume of the sample and the volume of standard solution used, the concentration of a specific material may be calculated.
|Total Acidity
|The total of all forms of acidity, including mineral acidity, carbon dioxide, and acid salts. Total acidity is usually determined by titration with a standard base solution to the phenolphthalein endpoint (pH 8.3). (See acidity.)
|Total Alkalinity
|The alkalinity of a water as determined by titration with standard acid solution to the methyl orange endpoint (pH approximately 4.5); sometimes abbreviated as "M" alkalinity". Total alkalinity includes many alkalinity components, such as hydroxides, carbonates, and bicarbonates. (see alkalinity.)
|Total Cations
|This is the sum of Ca + Mg _ Na + K all reported in gpg as CaCO3. These are "positive" ions and are generally metals. Total cations should always equal total anions.
|Total Chlorine
|The total concentration of chlorine in a water, including combined and free chlorine. (See combined available chlorine, free available chlorine.)
|Total Coliform
|Bacteria that are used as indicators of fecal contaminants in drinking water.
|Total Dissolved Solids (Tds)
|The weight of solids per unit volume of water which are in true solution, usually determined by the evaporation of a measured volume of filtered water, and determination of the residue weight.
|Total Hardness
|The sum of all hardness constituents in a water, expressed as their equivalent concentration of calcium carbonate. Primarily due to calcium and magnesium in solution, but may include small amounts of metals such as iron, which can act like calcium and magnesium in certain reactions. (See hardness.)
|Total Solids
|the weight of all solids, dissolved and suspended, organic and inorganic, per unit volume of water; usually determined by the evaporation of a measured volume of water at 105oC in a pre-weighted dish.
|Having an adverse physiological effect on humans or other desirable organisms.
|The property of a chemical to harm people who come into contact with it.
|A very small concentration of a material, high enough to be detected but too low to be measured by standard analytical methods.
|Transient, Non-Community Water System
|A water system which provides water in a place such as a gas station or campground where people do not remain for long periods of time. These systems do not have to test or treat their water for contaminants which pose long-term health risks because fewer than 25 people drink the water over a long period. They still must test their water for microbes and several chemicals.
|The process in which living plants release water vapor into the atmosphere, a significant part of the hydrologic cycle.
|Treatment Technique
|A specific treatment method required by EPA to be used to control the level of a contaminant in drinking water. In specific cases where EPA has determined it is not technically or economically feasible to establish an MCL, EPA can instead specify a treatment technique.
|The process in which blister-like growths of metal oxides develop in pipes as a result of the corrosion of the pipe metal. Iron oxide tubercles often develop over pits in iron or steel pipe, and can seriously restrict the flow of water.
|A measure of the cloudiness in water, the result of finely divided particulate matter suspended in water; usually reported in arbitrary units determined by measurements of light scattering. (See Nephelometric Turbidity Unit.)
|The cloudy appearance of water caused by the presence of tiny particles. High levels of turbidity may interfere with proper water treatment and monitoring.
|Turbulent Flow
|A type of flow characterized by cross currents and eddies, as opposed to laminar or streamlined flow. Turbulence may be caused by surface roughness or protrusions in pipes, bends and fittings, changes in channel size, or excessive flow rates; turbulence significantly increases pressure drops.

Health spending in the U.S. climbed to $2.7 trillion and constituted 17.9 percent of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2011. A recent report released by actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) found that health spending as a share of GDP remained steady at 17.9 percent from 2009 through 2011. Despite that stability, some analysts warn that, as the economy improves and the population ages, cost increases could again accelerate. Effects of cost constraining provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) are largely unknown, since major provisions will not be implemented until 2014.
Are there changes to PPACA that could slow down health care spending growth? How can the public and private sectors collaborate to effectively address the problem? What role can market-based incentives and reforms play in a solution? Are there examples of provider payment or delivery innovation that could help? Should spending targets be established? If so, how? What are other approaches to stabilizing health care spending?
A distinguished panel of experts addressed these and related questions.
Stu Guterman, vice president and executive director of The Commonwealth Fund's Commission on a High Performance Health System, will discuss the commission's new report on confronting costs.
Karen Ignagni, president and chief executive officer of America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), will discuss costs from a health plan perspective.
Robert Galvin, chief executive officer of Equity Healthcare at the Blackstone Group, and former chief medical officer for General Electric, will provide a health purchaser perspective.
Ed Howard of the Alliance and David Blumenthal of Commonwealth will moderate the discussion.
This forum took place on Monday, January 28, and was sponsored by the nonpartisan Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund.

Video 3:00
A new Alliance for Health Reform video features Sister Carol Keehan of the Catholic Health Association of the United States addressing the challenges of quickly enrolling millions of Americans for health insurance this fall. Open season begins October 1 of this year, yet she says that up to 85 percent of those who will be newly eligible for Medicaid or for subsidies to buy private insurance in state-based exchanges don't know it. FULL TRANSCRIPT
Video (3:11)A new Alliance for Health Reform video features Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the American Action Forum, and a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, arguing that recent slower spending growth in health care won't continue."We also saw a slowdown in the mid-90s, and we all declared victory and it came right back. I think next year we'll see a noticeable uptick. There will be lots of new people entering the insurance markets because of the exchanges and the subsidies that come along with them, and those subsidies are very generous. … These are an invitation for people to get coverage and to buy more health care. I think that'll place a lot of pressure on spending."FULL TRANSCRIPT
Beginning October 1, insurance marketplaces open for enrollment, and millions of people will be eligible to purchase plans. To guide them in the application process, the federal government has invested in programs to train community organizations and hired staff.
The Toolkit, available here, details the ACA's employer requirements and penalty. It also includes information about the delay in the mandate to 2015, and analysis about its impact on employer-based coverage.

During the UN conference on Women in Mexico in 1975 a team from Ghana, led by Dr Mrs. Esther Ocloo presented a paper on the need for the establishment of a financial institution to support women entrepreneurs in view of the difficulties women often encounter in meeting the demand for collateral by the traditional commercial banks. Based on Ghana's presentation and the support given by other countries Women's World Banking the world over was born.
Ghana's team returned home and gradually rallied other women to start its operation in 1988, initially as an NGO which trained women on how to manage their businesses and on basic business record keeping. The NGO also guaranteed women entrepreneurs to take loans from local banks to support their businesses. A "susu" operation (i.e. thrift deposit mobilization) through which contributors obtained finance for their operations was also introduced.
In 1996 the institution became regulated under the Central Bank of Ghana as a deposit taking and loan granting financial organization. It presently has 48,000 active deposit customers with 48 billion deposits as at 30th April. The company has just been recapitalized with fifteen billion cedis that is US$1.7 million dollars. The major shareholders are Data Bank Financial Services Group (A reputable Ghanaian financial services company) with 45% shareholding and Africap Micro Finance Fund (an international Microfinance company) with 30% shareholding. The remaining 25% shares are held by various Ghanaian individuals. Women's World Banking Ghana is an affiliate of Women's World Banking world wide.
Following the recapitalization of the company a new management team headed by Mr. Okyei Gyeabour has been put in place. Strategies are currently being implemented to grow the company and turn it around into a first class micro finance institution.

Dream Dinners Chicken Tetrazzini - Not Awful
Dream Dinners Chicken Tetrazzini
Originally uploaded by Foodmomiac.
Finally, an edible Dream Dinner. No, not photogenic. But edible. Which is a start.
Sadly, this is also the dinner that takes the longest to prepare. I started cooking at 5:30 and ate at 7. First, I had to make the spaghetti (I broke it in half to make the final product easier to eat). Then, I mixed the cooked spaghetti with the sauce, dumped it in a baking dish, covered it with bread crubs and baked it. 30 minutes covered, 20 minutes uncovered.
The sauce wasn't fancy. It consisted of Cream of Mushroom soup, chopped chicken, broccoli, red pepper, artichoke hearts and WAY too many stale dried herbs. But, it all tasted fine. The chicken wasn't spongy like the cutlets, and I liked the crust formed by the Panko bread crumbs.
Tomorrow night is Dream Dinners Pork Burritos. I'm a little leary.

Authentication and Authorization
Different web applications will employ different authorization and authentication strategies. In some cases, access to the entire application is restricted unless the user enters a password. In other cases, the users can access most of the functions in the application, however gain additional functionality if authenticated.
Agile Toolkit provides a basic authentication mechanism, with support for white-list and black-list strategies.
- Authentication — a process where a user provides their username and password, or uses some other means for identifying themselves, such as OpenID
- Authorization — defining the type of operations which the current user can or cannot do.
- white-list — an authorization strategy under which all actions/pages are restricted, unless specifically allowed. White-list is considered more secure than black-list.
- black-list - an autorization strategy under which a check for restricted actions/pages is performed in order to disallow user access.
Using The BasicAuth Class
The BasicAuth controller is a simple implementation of the Authentication class. Below is an example of usage from inside the API class:
The above code will add BasicAuth into the API, manually allow 2 users to have access, then perform the check. You will see a login form when accessing any page handled by this API. Class SQLAuth can be used if you wish to authenticate users against the database.
Implementing White-List
Both black-list and white-list implementation depend on executing - or bypassing - the "check" method. In a white-list implementation, if check() is not executed, then authentication is not required. You can use allowPage() to specify which pages do not need authentication, and then use isPageAllowed() to determine when to perform the check(). Note that if the user is logged in, even without having explicitly called check() - ie., when visiting an allowed page - their login information will be available.
$this->add('BasicAuth'); // automatically sets $api->auth to self
Implementing black-list
To keep non-authenticated users away from certain pages you should move the call to $api->check() to inside those pages.
// inside page/secret.php, in page's init() method
$this->add('Text')->set('Hello, ',$this->api->auth->model['name']);
