CLPP is participating in National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health's Week of Action around Caminamos: Justice for Immigrant Women.
What's the real problem behind the scapegoating of immigrant women and families? Immigrants are often portrayed as opportunity-stealing, benefits-taking "bottom-feeders" who refuse to assimilate. Immigrants, as some would have us believe, can "come here and do whatever they want." The ill-founded ideas that immigrants don't want to speak English and don't pay taxes ignore the rules and regulations that are already in place.
This is what I've been able to piece together of my immediate family history, which doesn't reveal itself easily due to language barriers and a thorough sense of private reserve: My parents came to the United States in 1987. They'd met in university in Taipei, gone on a few dates, and were engaged, then married, at the behest of my great-grandparents. My father was here on a student visa; my mother was three months pregnant. And while my father attended graduate school in statistics and operations research, my mother learned to cook and sew and tell stories in a language not her own.
She didn't eat very well, at first; American food was unfamiliar to her. She had studied English in school, but hadn't expected to use it. At home, she spoke to us in Mandarin, with occasional jumbled English phrases mixed in, and she could never get her gendered pronouns right. As kids, my brother and I developed grammar-fixing reflexes and jumped on her at every turn. Sometimes she would correct herself, but usually she seemed to ignore our suggestions.
After my father left school, my parents, my younger brother, and I spent a year in Taiwan. During this time, my parents applied for and were granted Canadian permanent residency. What they really wanted was to return to the U.S., but going down that path was much more difficult. Six months into our year-and-a-half stay in Calgary, my father found a job in Massachusetts and was able to enter on a H-1B (non-immigrant) visa. After a year, his company helped him apply for a green card. It took another four years for my parents' permanent residency to be approved. In between, my mother wasn't allowed to work, and neither of them could leave the country to see extended family. Ten years went by before we visited Taiwan again.
A layoff scare in 2004 prompted my mother to start working as a cashier at the supermarket . At night, she studied manual product codes—the numbers you enter if scanning a barcode doesn't work—and she worked so hard during the day she developed a cyst in her wrist. Today, she works in the backroom managing accounts payable, but she still regularly leaves the store at least half an hour after her shift ends. She gets almost no recognition for it, and she's lamented before that she feels she might not ever advance out of working there.
When I visited her last, my mother took me grocery shopping on her day off. Most people avoid going into the workplace when they don't have to, but she embraced it. With a sense of charisma I didn't know she had, she whisked me around the Whole Foods aisles, introducing me to her coworkers and carrying on joyful conversations in perfect English. She had come a long way by herself. She wanted me to see.

When looking at the processes section of your task manager in Windows XP you may see the SYSTEM service running named aawservice.exe. This service is installed by software from Lavasoft USA named Ad-Aware. It installs and is set to start it's self automatically when booting up your PC. If you run the free version of Ad-Aware then it is safe to disable this service so that it does not waste your system's resources. However, if you are running a paid version of Ad-Aware then it is wise to just leave this service alone as it is responsible for real-time protection of your PC. Lets take a look at how to disable this service.
How to remove aawservice.exe
If you have decided that you do not need the aawservice.exe service to run then removal is simple.
Right click on "My Computer" and click Manage. Once there you will see the management console on your PC. Once here, navigate to the Services option on the left hand side of the window.
Once loaded you will see a list of services running in the right hand pane. Locate the Ad-Aware service (named Ad-Aware 2007 Service in my case).
Right click on that service and click properties to reveal the menu below. What you need to do here is click the Stop button after which the text above the stop box will say "Service status: Stopped". Once stopped you can select Manual from the "Startup type" option. Once set to Manual then click OK and close out the management console.
The reason we choose Manual for the Startup type is because the service needs to be started when you want to perform a scan with Ad-Aware. Once that scan has finished you can then stop the service again.

Pipeline ADC
What is the pipeline ADC
The pipelined analog-to-digital converter(ADC) has become the most popular ADC architecture. Lower-sampling-rate applications are still the domain of the successive approximation register(SAR) and integrating architectures (and more recently oversampling/sigma-delta ADCs), whereas the highest sampling rates (a few hundred MS/s or higher) are still obtained using flash ADCs and their variants. However, it is safe to say that pipelined ADCs of various froms have improved greatly in speed, resolution, dynamic performance, and low power in recent years, Because pipeline ADC provide an optimum balance of size, speed, resolution, power dissipation, and analog design effort, it has become increasingly attractive to major data-converter manufacturers and circuit designers. Also known as sub-ranging quantizers, pipeline ADC consists of numerous consecutive stages, each containing a track/hold(T/H), a low-resolution ADC and DAC, and a summing circuit that includes an inter-stage amplifier to provide gain.
Fast and accurate N-bit conversions can be accomplished using at least two or more steps of subranging (also called pipelining). A coarse, M-bit A/D conversion is executed first. Then, using a DAC with at least N-bit accuracy, the result is converted back to one of 2M analog levels and compared with the input. Finally, the difference is converted with a "fine" K-bit flash converter and the two (or more) output stages are combined. The following inequality should be met to correct for overlapping errors:
where L is the number of stages (depends on the manufacturer), M is the coarse resolution of subsequent stages in the ADC/MDAC circuit, K is the fine resolution of the final ADC stage, and N is the pipeline ADC's overall resolution. Most pipeline ADCs include digital error-correction circuitry that operates between the stages.
Some pipeline quantizers feature a calibration unit that compensates for unwanted side effects such as temperature drift or capacitor mismatch in the multiplying DAC. This digital calibration is usually performed for several (not all) of the pipeline's consecutive stages, using two adjacent codes that cause a transition equal to VREF at the MDAC output. Any deviation from this ideal step is an error that can be measured. When all errors have been acquired and accumulated by the subsequent converter stages, they are stored in an on-board memory. Then the results are fetched from RAM during normal operation to redeem gain and capacitor mismatches in the MDAC stages of the pipeline.
The pipeline ADC is suitable for applications where a relatively high bandwidth and a high resolution are required. Target applications for pipeline ADCs include communication systems, in which total harmonic distortion (THD), spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), and other frequency-domain specifications are significant; CCD-based imaging systems, in which favorable time-domain specifications for noise, bandwidth, and fast transient response guarantee quick settling; and data-acquisition systems, in which time- and frequency-domain characteristics are both important (i.e., low spurs and high input bandwidth).

Experiencing life with England
Posted in Domestic Cricket
A few days ago I spent the day training with the England team at the National Cricket Performance Centre in Loughborough as they prepared for the npower Test Series with Pakistan.
I got a call from Dene Hills, the ECB lead batting coach, and he asked me to come up for the day, to be around the squad, see what goes on and spend some time with the players.
It was a great experience and gave me real feeling for what it would be like being with England. These are the players I am aspiring to play with and these are the kind of drills I hope to be doing. It's a good learning experience for me, spending a day in the life of an England cricketer.
I did some intense batting drills with Graham Gooch, who put me under a bit of pressure.
We started on the bowling machine at 75mph from the normal distance, then moved closer until I was about 12 yards away. It was all about getting my hands and feet moving. You have to get in good positions. Instead of running ones and twos between shots, he made me run tens. It was hard work. I guess he wanted to see what I was made of.
Goochie is an England legend. He keeps it simple and that's just what I want. Shot selection is a massive thing for him.
Last weekend I had possibly my best ever game, scoring a hundred and taking four wickets in a Clydesdale Bank 40 game with Warwickshire.
I was chuffed to get the four wickets, especially as I haven't worked too much on my bowling. It might encourage me to work a bit more on that part of my game.
It adds another string to my bow. It's useful to have that but I won't be biting the captain's arm off to get a bowl though. I will bowl when needed but I am no rush to rattle through 20 overs a day.
I was pleased with my hundred but it was just a shame we could not get over the line and beat them. We can't string to aspects of the game together, which was the story of our Friends Provident t20 campaign.
I feel I am playing quite well. It's always nice to score a hundred in the one-day games. I need to keep churning out runs, not just to help Leicestershire win some matches but to knock on the selectors' door. I'm feeling good at the crease at the moment.
As we now move back to the four-day game, I have to get my head around spending as much time at the crease as possible. The runs will come the longer you stay there.
We have back to back County Championship games against Sussex and Derbyshire. Ideally we want two good results to push us up towards the top of the table.

Re:What's the penalty for HTTPS? (95 comments)
Any thoughts on HTTPS only for the login page, or for all pages?
All pages. When you log in to begin with, if the login page is HTTPS then your username and password are encrypted. This is good, because it means nobody else can snoop your password and log in as you later. You are then sent back a cookie. Later, when you want to prove that you are logged in, you just send the cookie along with the HTTP request. Of course, if all the other pages are not encrypted, then the cookie is sent in the clear, which allows anybody to collect it and use it. So, obviously, any request sending a cookie should be sent encrypted too, which means that all pages should be HTTPS.
This is an extremely obvious and trivially-fixed security vulnerability. The fact that so few sites bother to fix it is disappointing indeed.

Re:So... there is a God? (181 comments)
A hot mantle isn't something that happens by chance. When a planet forms, it involves large chunks of *stuff* coming and binding together - that is, coming from a dispersed position of high gravitational potential to a compressed position of much lower gravitational potential. All of that GPE has to go somewhere, and most of it went into thermal energy, hence the heat at the Earth's core. Mars is much smaller than Earth = less GPE to liberate = less core heat. Of course the fact that Mars is too small to hold on to a substantial atmosphere also plays a part.
What I'm saying is that any sufficiently large rocky planet almost by definition has substantial core heat. It's not really much of a coincidence that the Earth has a hot mantle. Probably, any large rocky planet of about the same age as Earth (i.e. orbiting a population I star) has plenty of core heat left.

Re:Reclaim Some? (717 comments)
There are two major reasons why this almost certainly won't happen. The first reason is that at the current rate of use this would delay IPv4 exhaustion by only a few months to a year.
The second is that for an organisation to claim such a large block of addresses, it must have done so relatively early in history. That probably means the organisation is a technology group or another organisation which has had a vested interest in the internet for a very long time. Over those decades, there's a good chance that the organisation has swelled up to make maximum use of its assigned address spaces, and rearranging its network and systems for greater efficiency would be a mammoth undertaking for relatively little gain (see above).

Hello Everyone, we recently purchased a new property that has a very large and unkempt rose bush. They look like the typical rose bush that you find on old farms in my zone (3). I don't know what it's called. It has such pretty blooms, but I'm afraid that my husband is planning on ripping it out with the backhoe this weekend since it's so unruly. I'm not sure if I want to keep it or start fresh, it has hundreds of blooms, ad I think it will be nice again with some care....but I just don't know. The blooms are very fragrant and do seem larger than normal, almost double in appearance. I appreciate any help you can offer. (I have not had a change to do any kind of pruning on it this year) |

I certainly hope your DH backs off til you can educate yourself about this lovely plant. |
I think it might be an old garden rose? I'm not sure I'm outside Thunder Bay Ontario in zone 3 a. There are a lot of dead canes that need to be cleaned up if we are to keep it. We bought a place that had a neglected yard with overgrown shrubs that is why we are using the backhoe to rip everything out. I'd like to save some bushes that are worth saving. This bush is about 6-8 ft high and about 10 feet wide. |
It is one of the Rugosas....a likely candidate would be 'Hansa' given its hardiness. |
It would be a terrible shame to destroy that beautiful rose! It can be cut back and tamed instead of ripped out. Besides, anything that can survive your brutal winters deserves to live! |

Did you save your lovely old rose from the backhoe? If it's flowering so well and is healthy why on earth destroy it? As the others say, it could easily be tidied up and pruned back into shape - easier to work with a robust rose that's obviously thriving in your climate with little care, than start again with something new that you may have to labour over...(Sorry, just my opinion).... Yes it looks as if it may be a rugosa or something with a bit of rugosa in it; I didn't know Hansa grew that big but others would know better. Does it smell sort of warm/clove-like? If it is H. you have yourself a very good rose that will be easy to care for in the future, once you've got it back under control. And there should be gorgeous big decorative hips in Autumn (Fall), from which you can make all sorts of wondrous old-time things like Rosehip Jelly and Tea. That's after you've finished bottling up the Rosepetal Jam, of course! :-D Seriously, you have to watch these men with their machines, they have to be spoken to very firmly, in my experience. I once had a neighbour who offered to come round to my place with his chainsaw and cut everything - trees, shrubs, everything - down to four foot high. He said it would look much neater. Honestly, they have no idea at all! (No offence to all the lovely sensitive blokes out there) LOL :-) |

Random Acts of Love
06.02.14 |
09.18.09 | | Comments[2]
I was working on scheduling music for the network this morning - a task that takes hours each week to accomplish - and when I was finished I thought to myself, "Good, that's done for another week." I looked down at the screen displaying some of the song titles we've added recently - Phil Stacey's "You're Not Shaken", Casting Crowns' "Until The Whole World Hears", Kutless' "What Faith Can Do" - and I began to think about the strength of the lyrics in those songs. That reminded me of an email I received earlier in the week from a listener who was particularly moved by a song we played that met her at a specific point of need; one of those crossroads we all face where the direction we choose will have a significant impact on our life.
And I felt slightly convicted.
My first reaction to getting the programming done was, 'good, now I can move on to other things'; it was an item checked off my to-do list, feeding the animal that is a growing radio network for another week. But it's so much more than that.
I sat there for a few minutes and pondered the impact all the songs we play have on listeners. I thought about the lyrics; I thought of the constant stream of emails and comments from people telling how a song has encouraged them, convicted them, lifted them up when they were feeling really down or made them want to get up and shout for joy because of what the Lord means in their life. Songs are powerful tools God can use to minister to us and even though I know that and I've been doing this for years, in that moment of "getting the job done", I overlooked the most important thing: I wasn't just scheduling music, I was weaving a tapestry that God was going to use to speak to people.
I offer that as an encouragement to you because we're all prone to overlooking "the most important thing." In our home and work responsibilities, we have tasks that must be accomplished and they're not always fun to do. But they're things God has called us to do. When we work in retail and we offer a genuine smile to a customer rather than a mindless "have a nice day", we make a difference in their day. When we're busy but we make the time to listen to a friend who needs our ear - not advice, just someone to listen - we might be helping them in ways we couldn't anticipate. When we're in traffic and we allow someone to pull into the lane in front of us, even though we don't have to, and even though they're going to drive 30 miles per hour in a 45, we show kindness that isn't required, it's offered.
The value of what we do isn't measured by our productivity on the job; the value comes in seeing beyond the immediate and believing that our actions can have an impact, far beyond measure, on the lives of those around us.
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
I have found in my job as an RN in a nursing home environment, there are many tasks that need to be accomplished for the 160 residents in our building. Tasks to meet their basic needs - food, hygiene, clothing, activities etc. But, we get so busy taking care of all these things in our 8 hours with these folks, that we forget to spend real quality time with them - getting to know who they are and what their histories are. I have come to realize that even the person with severe dementia and Alzheimer's disease are still a person deep down. We made not be able to see it, but they are there and they matter. Everyone has a history and are full of stories they want to share with us. Busyness is no excuse for not listening and showing someone who has nothing genuine kindness and compassion. We never know the impact we have on others when we show Christ love to others.
I have often found this true not only with the residents but with my fellow co-workers who are under tremendous stress in their personal lives. All they want and need is a listening ear, someone to show them empathy and genuinely ask about their well-being each day. A smile, a genuine "how are you" can make all the difference to someone for the entire day. We are called as believers to show Christ love to others. I hope I make a difference each an every day I am at work doing what I was called to do.
These comments remind me of a true story I heard some years ago that marked me at that time, and I still remember the story.
There was a couple who had been married many years. When the husband died, his wife discovered that her husband had a safety deposit box at a bank that she was completely unaware of.
With thoughts of uncertainty, she went to the bank to find the safety deposit box, not knowing what it could contain. When she opened the box, she found an envelope addressed to her. There was a handwritten letter from her husband thanking her for being such a wonderful wife and companion for all these years, for being so faithful, supportative and loving - making his life worthwhile.
While the letter deeply moved her, she now also questioned why her husband never professed any of these feelings or made any mention of these things during the actual time they were married? It wasn't that he was bad or abusive, but it was just that he never had communicated any of those appreciative thoughts during all those years. And now she wondered just how much better their marriage could have been had he admitted some of those feelings and encouraged her all along.
The scriptures call us to encourage, strengthen and to edify one another. Obviously it is important to maintain the inner knowledge that our daily actions and work can affect people that we may mever know of (unless they tell us), it is just as important to let people know when they have touched us in some way.
Christ forewarned us that following Him would not always be easy. Paul's writings sure make this point. Yet most of Paul's letters were written as encouragement to the various churches that had been started. One might wonder how well those churches would have done without that sincere encouragement.
Sheila, your comments hit home as I have recently spent time visiting relatives in such environments. It is obvious how overworked many of the employees are. Yet it is also clear how a small token of affection or kind words can have an effect not always obvious to those speaking or giving those gestures. It also reminds me that it wasn't too long ago, that most homes had extended families living there, with older relatives or grandparents being part of the family and being cared for.... how things have changed.
Likewise Cecil, I can't remember all the times when I was in a frump of some sort and heard some song playing on FLN that either convicted me on some level or encouraged me. Sometimes it's a song I have heard many times before, but will have a much more profound effect in a moment of wondering, doubt or need. Likewise, a song can greatly enhance or sum up a good day.
I would suspect a majority of FLN listeners like Chip Ingram. But for me, James MacDonald hits the nail on the head more often than not. I thank the Lord for using James as much as He has. And now I frequently go to his website to hear teachings I may have missed on FLN. But if it weren't for his show broadcast on FLN, I likely may never have heard of him.
Christ teaches us to be a light and to be the salt of the earth. Even a small nightlight can illuminate a room enough to walk though it. And it only takes a touch of salt to improve a meal.
Maybe it's just human nature to want to make a BIG impact… to do something of great importantance. I'm guilty of that thinking sometimes. Yet with age and experience, it's become obvious that the small gestures of encouragement can become much bigger and important than we may ever know.

We are a nation of immigrants, enriched, in large part, because of their work, but we cannot accommodate everyone who wishes to live here. We are also a nation of laws that should not be broken with impunity. I seek to balance openness to newcomers with reasonable care for our citizens and legal immigrants. For years now, Congress has attempted to implement immigration reform. Despite the lack of action, I remain hopeful that Congress will finally act on this important issue. House and Senate leaders have expressed the desire to reform our immigration policies but questions remain about the most realistic way to accomplish that goal.
Congress has not taken meaningful action on immigration reform during my tenure. Legislation passed by the Senate in 2006, S 2611, appeared to combine enforcement with realism about our economic needs, but this legislation ultimately stalled. We cannot and should not attempt to deport every undocumented alien. Their numbers are conservatively estimated at around 11million. Most of the adults are gainfully employed, and some, with long residence and good moral character, should be given an opportunity to eventually become citizens. We can disagree about how many, required length of residence, the amount of fine imposed, but we must recognize that many undocumented persons have become essential members of our society.
In the 111th Congress the House passed H.R. 5281 –the DREAM Act. This legislation is designed to address the status of young persons who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents when they themselves were small children. Those eligible would be granted conditional legal residence in the United States which could become permanent legal residence if they successfully complete two years of post-secondary education or military service. Only after thirteen years could they apply to become US citizens. This bill was narrowly drawn and set forth careful criteria for eligibility. It did not pass the Senate but I hope that it can become part of a comprehensive approach to immigration reform. In 2012, President Obama issued an executive order in the absence of Congressional action on this issue. There is still more work to do, but at least young people who are trying in good faith to obtain an education can now remain here without fear of deportation because their parents brought them to this country illegally.
I do not support the concept of "guest workers." There may be a need in some sectors of the economy for seasonal workers, but I would oppose any measure that granted work visas without the prospect of eventually seeking citizenship. We need a better understanding of how many new workers we require each year, in what sectors of the economy, with what skills, but, as a nation, we must remain open to talent. More than one third of the Nobel Prizes won by Americans were awarded to citizens born elsewhere. Our economy should be open to immigrants who can create jobs. Our universities, research institutes, and teaching hospitals must continue to attract the world's most brilliant scholars and scientists, and we should encourage more of those educated in the U.S. to contribute to our economy.
I believe we have a responsibility, shared with other democracies, to offer safe haven to political asylees and to a reasonable number of refugees. I believe too that we bear a special responsibility to Iraqis and Afghans who have risked their lives and the lives of their families to help us, and I have appealed to the Secretaries of State and Defense on their behalf.
The debate over immigration has become unduly bitter. For years sensible legislators in both parties have not been too far apart on immigration. It is long past time to act. The Senate passed comprehensive immigration reform in a bipartisan fashion with 68 votes. That bill included many of the principles outlined above. Similar legislation with bipartisan support languishes in the House. It is time for reasonable people to agree on reasonable policies.

The technology used to make simulated diamonds, gemstones, and gold has improved drastically in the last few years. Fake diamonds no longer look like rhinestones, so now a fashionista can look as if she were born with a loupe in her hand, even if she wasn't. Take our quiz after the jump and see how many fakes you can spot. The answers are in the last slide.

Popcorn is a very common eatable item that is generally liked by most of people. If a person wishes, he can also start popcorn business for making good income.
It is very interesting to know that in U.S, each year people consume more than 16 billion quarts. This data has been released by the popcorn board.
Some people think that just starting the popcorn business may not prove beneficial to them. This is agreeable to some extent as establishing niche in market on basis of popcorn is difficult. However, if a person is able to offer popcorn in very attractive packing with lots of flavors, this business can turn profitable. People would definitely get attracted to great tastes, especially new ones.
Popcorn business has been categorized as food business and thus, a person has to be very careful while starting this business. First of all, all types of licenses that are applicable to the food industry have to be obtained. There are also certain inspections that are carried by the administrative bodies and these have to be cleared. Certifications, inspections etc differ from one state to another.
Once necessary documents are obtained, a person can start his popcorn business. He should think about newer popcorn recipes that are not very common. Initially, people including relatives and friends may have to be invited for tasting the popcorns.
Popcorns may contain flavors like butter, cayenne pepper etc. If these are liked, word of mouth publicity may do all the wonders. Some people have also started online stores of pop corn. Selling of popcorns at right place is as important as starting the popcorn business.
Thus, set up for selling popcorns should be made at place that attracts many people. For example, a person can sell popcorns in malls, markets, etc. In case, some local fairs are arranged in the city, same must be utilized for popularizing the popcorn product. Such fairs prove very useful in getting large numbers of customers. For opening an online store, a person may have to wait for some time till business gets established and becomes popular.
A person may need to buy popcorn making machines, raw corn and packaging material for starting the business. These are easily available in the market but require some investment.

AcneNet Article Excoriated Acne "Excoriate" means to scratch or abrade the skin. When a person spends hours in front of a mirror squeezing and picking at every blemish, the condition is termed "excoriated acne." All of this picking and squeezing often causes red marks where the skin becomes irritated and usually leads to permanent scarring.
Excoriated acne usually appears to others as a mild form of acne, without pustules or nodules. To the person with the acne, however, it may be intolerable for a variety of reasons. People with excoriated acne often wish that they could stop all that picking and squeezing, but an uncontrollable desire to get rid of their lesions compels them. This compelling urge to pick and squeeze at every blemish regardless of size is a medically recognized condition that should be discussed with a dermatologist.
Occasionally giving in to a temptation to squeeze a blackhead is not excoriated acne.

Husband-and-wife team Brian Kaplan and Lambeth Hochwald, parents of 3-year-old Zachary, have found a way to combine family time together with a business that focuses on family togetherness. Their Parent P-L-A-Y hosts weekend events for families with kids under age 5.
Having a ball . . . Brian, Lambeth and Zachary
And rather than get-togethers where youngsters are in the spotlight and moms and dads on the sidelines, their events are designed so everyone in the family can have fun. A kid area is staffed with babysitters in orange T-shirts, and visiting educators and entertainers lead kids in activities which have included yoga classes, sing-a-longs, Spanish and French classes, and music time. While this is going on, parents can have some down time — which can include spa treatments, talking to an author, or just kicking back with the Sunday newspaper and a mimosa.Hochwald, a freelance writer, and Kaplan, a public relations executive, use their professional connections to load up attendees with gift bags worth more than the price of admission. In fact, events, which run about $60, are a great deal even without the fabulous swag. Let's say you go to brunch instead of Parent P-L-A-Y. Brunch for two, even at a casual place, is at least $25. Add in a Bloody Mary or two, plus food for your toddler, and you're looking at $50. But at Parent P-L-A-Y, you can also have an hour (or more) of professional babysitting (at least $15). And if one of you gets a free manicure or foot massage, you're making money.But what Parent P-L-A-Y is really about is everyone having fun. Kids don't have to stay with babysitters, and many pop in and out of the 'adult' space. But most toddlers want to stay and play with the other kids, where there is a colorful mat, new toys, juice boxes and buckets of Goldfish. At the March event at Tribeca Rooftop, parents could try out luxury beds and a putting green, kids could sample a music time or listen to storytime, and there was live music for grooving families.At last month's get-together, Christie Mellor, author of The Three-Martini Playdate, read from her new book, The Three-Martini Family Vacation. Mellor, an actress and mother of two, said her first book "was about how parents can reclaim their lives, and the second is how they can get out of the house. The book is not a travel guide; it's a tongue-in-cheek look at mommies who are apparently under the impression that if they aren't zealously interacting with their children all day, every day, they are somehow being remiss in their maternal duties." There is some actual travel advice, in chapters like "The Theme Park Vacation: A Last Resort" and "Staying with Friends Abroad: Disaster or Enriching Cultural Experience?" Mellor writes that parents must encourage kids to be self-sufficient, whether at home or on vacation.Of course, Parent P-L-A-Y events encourage leaving the kids, even if it is just a few feet away, so these are perfect for mothers or fathers who feel a stint in day care is a straight shot to juvenile delinquency. The faintly mellow vibe belies the fact that about 100 people, half of them under 5 years old, are having a great time. Hochwald and Kaplan live in Tribeca, so they have been hosting events at downtown venues, but parents are attending from all over the city.For more information, go to www.parentplay.com.

Greene Gables Inn is a first class B&B managed with tender loving care and legitimate charm by the innkeepers, David and Lu Ann Mansfield. Beautiful rooms with all the amenities in a very large, tastefully decorated house with fascinating historical touches. Without a doubt this inn offers the best, most comfortable accommodations not only in Greene County, but in all of Southwest Central Illinois. The rates are quite reasonable for the value offered and I would recommend this establishment without hesitation to any of my friends from the Chicago area or other parts of the county who are interested in exploring the surprising number of historic and cultural attractions that are to be found in this part of the state.

I've never stayed at a bed and breakfast before, but I can tell you that if I have a chance to stay in one again; they are going to have some standards to hold up to. I stayed in the Huntmaster room and it is very cozy; the bedroom is not in the room, but it is still private, you get a key. It did not bother me at all. You will love it so much, that you wont mind leaving your room to use it!

Jan and Terry go over and above in the name of luxury. The Churchhill Room was lovely and so very comfortable! We enjoyed the cold water and chilled wine from the local vinyard. The breakfast was delicious and the grounds are beautiful to look at and walk through. I was also there for a bridal shower luncheon in late summer and we were seated out in the pavillion. That too, paired with the weather that day, was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I look forward to coming back. Thanks for all the little things you do and touches you add that make the Inn such a wonderful experience. Bill & Jan Settles Wapella, IL

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 632 - 22 February, 2007 Written Answers. - Internet Use. Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the concerns expressed at the growth in internet pornography; if his attention has been drawn to the need to utilise modern technology to isolate and identify the perpetrators with particular reference to the prevention of internet grooming; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5427/07] Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if directly or in conjunction with his EU colleagues any effort is being made to protect the internet from pornography promoters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5428/07] Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if directly or in consultation with his EU colleagues or through the service providers, progress has been made with a view to preventing the use of the internet by those involved in the promotion of pornography with particular reference to children; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5429/07] Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the technological developments expected to assist in the prevention of internet pornography; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5430/07] Mr. McDowell Mr. McDowell 548 [548] Mr. McDowell: I propose to take Questions Nos. 88 to 91, inclusive, together. I have already answered a similar Questions to the ones tabled by the Deputy and I refer the Deputy to my answer to those Questions (Nos. 191 to 194) given on the 14 February 2007. If the Deputy wishes, I will repeat what I said then. As I outlined earlier by its very nature, the internet lends itself to being used for a wide range of criminal activities. This can include illegal pornography, racist or hate materials, financial fraud, intimidation or any other criminal activity carried out via the internet. Combatting such illegal, harmful and predatory use of the internet requires a response at national, EU and wider international levels. The internet is an international and world-wide phenomenon with no borders and no single organisation controlling it. Measures to combat illegal materials and activities on the internet are, therefore, hampered by a multiplicity of jurisdictions, differing legal systems, and differing societal norms. Furthermore, new developments in communications technologies allowing for internet access by new means are a regular occurrence. These are largely positive developments but also bring particular challenges for those charged with protecting against the downsides of the internet. A combination of responses, and the co-operation of all the stakeholders, at both national and international level — legislators, law enforcement, schools, child protection practitioners, parents and guardians — is essential. My Department is fully committed to playing its part in a pro-active way. In terms of legislation, in the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act, 1998, Ireland has one of the most robust pieces of legislation anywhere. Under the Act, the possession, distribution, importation and exportation or sale of all forms of child pornography — films, video or material in written or auditory form including material produced or transmitted via the internet — are offences with penalties of up to 14 years' imprisonment. Mere possession of child pornography can be punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years. Using a child or allowing a child to be used for the production of child pornography is also punishable by up to 14 years' imprisonment. The EU Council adopted a Framework Decision on Combating the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Child Pornography on 22 December 2003. While the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998 is a particularly robust legislative measure, this Framework Decision requires some relatively minor amendments to our legislation and these are contained in the Criminal Law (Trafficking in Persons and Sexual Offences) Bill which is at present being drafted in the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. 549 Among the provisions of the Bill is one that prohibits the sale of children, including through a [549] computer system, for the purpose of the sexual or labour exploitation of a child and other provisions will prohibit the sexual grooming of children, including by means of communication through the Internet. This Bill will comply fully with the criminal law requirements of the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons and the Council of Europe Convention on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings. Ireland signed the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons on 13 December 2000. I am informed by the Garda Authorities that they monitor child pornography on the internet and where evidence is available action is taken in accordance with legislation. Similarly, where evidence becomes available that the internet is used for trafficking of human beings action is also be taken to apprehend those responsible. Other incidents of child pornography or trafficking in human beings coming to the attention of An Garda Síochána are fully investigated and where there is evidence to support a prosecution criminal proceedings are commenced, as directed by the Law Officers. I am also informed by the Garda Authorities that staff from the Computer Crime Investigation Unit (CCIU) in the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation participate in numerous fora where crime prevention advice is given to companies and members of the public on the safe use of the internet. The Unit provides support to the many operations by other national and local units in targeting paedophiles and others suspected of downloading child pornography in Ireland. Members of An Garda Síochána attached to the National Bureau of Investigation augment these units as the volume of work requires. Computer forensics are carried out by the members attached to the Domestic and Sexual Assault Unit and also by members attached to the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation utilising up-to-date forensic software. I understand that An Garda Síochána, in conjunction with its EU colleagues, is currently examining new methods of preventing the production and distribution of child pornography on the internet. On the structural side, the Government established a working Group in 1997 to examine and report on the whole question of the illegal and harmful use of the internet with particular reference to child pornography. The Report of the Working Group on the Illegal and Harmful Use of the Internet was published in July 1998. The main recommendation of the Report was for a system of self-regulation by the Internet Service Provider industry and the components of such a system were to include: 550 an Internet Advisory Board (IAB) — established Feb 2000 — to promote awareness of Internet downside issues, co-[550] ordinate efforts to combat child pornography on the Internet and monitor the progress of self regulation by the Internet Service Provider industry a Public Hotline for reporting child pornography (established 1999 and funded by the industry) an industry Code of Practice and Ethics setting out the duties and responsibilities of each Internet Service Provider (agreed February 2002 and reviewed in 2004). The Internet Advisory Board (IAB) as well as overseeing a self-regulatory regime for the Irish Internet Service Providers, encourages best practice procedures, provides advice and facilitates research in Internet-related issues including child safety. My Department provides secretarial and other supports for the Board's work. The IAB in its role of encouraging best practice, procedures and formulating advice on Internet downside issues is currently evaluating electronic technology which can be used to block access to websites on the internet and is preparing a report on the matter. The Hotline (www.hotline.ie), funded by the Internet Service Providers' Association of Ireland with support from the EU Safer Internet Action Plan, was launched in November 1999 and has been operating since that time. Special protocols operate between the Gardaí and the Hotline that maximise co-operation on law enforcement issues so that offences in the area of child pornography can be detected and prosecuted. The Hotline works closely with, and is a founding member of, the international INHOPE Association (www.inhope.org), a network of European hotlines which is expanding to all parts of the world. The INHOPE Association develops procedures and shares information on the best practices for the tracing and tracking of illegal child pornography. International co-operation is a vital part of the fight against pornography on the internet, and Ireland is fully committed to playing its part. The Deputy may be aware that the European Union has taken a strong line on combating child pornography and other illegal and harmful uses of the internet. Since 1999, under the Safer Internet Action Plan, the EU has provided financial and other supports for measures in the member states to combat illegal and harmful uses of the internet, with particular emphasis on protecting children. A new EU action plan — Safer Internet Plus — covering the period 2005 to 2008, and with a budget of €45m, was agreed under the Irish presidency in June 2004 and is now in operation. My Department is represented on the management committee for the programme. 551 In September 2001, the Council of Europe approved the first international Convention on Cybercrime. Ireland signed up to the Convention in June 2002. The main objective of the Conven[551] tion is to foster international co-operation in protecting society against cybercrime. The Convention deals specifically with the distribution of child pornography on the internet, infringements of copyright, computer related fraud and violations of network security. On 15 September 2006, I announced that Government approval had been obtained for the drafting of the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. This Bill is being used to give effect to a number of international instruments including the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime 2001. My Department is fully committed to co-operating with and promoting these measures nationally, at EU level and the wider international level. Dáil Éireann 632 Written Answers. Internet Use.

THE MOUNTAIN and the squirrel
Had a quarrel;
And the former called the latter "Little Prig."
Bun replied,
"You are doubtless very big;
But all sorts of things and weather
Must be taken in together,
To make up a year
And a sphere.
And I think it no disgrace
To occupy my place.
If I'm not as large as you,
You are not so small as I,
And not half so spry.
I'll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel track;
Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;
If I cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut."
I hardly give my high school teachers much thought, but this poem makes me remember Mrs. Aranduque with fondness. I also remember singing Sad Movies in Ms. Cabajar's class and The Sound of Silence in Mrs. Peteros' class. High school is a lifetime behind me now, but I think, perhaps, I do owe those teachers something.

Telling our stories past, present, and future. Inviting all to join in the storytelling. Engaging people in the struggle to live our values. Recognizing who we are. Where we've been. Where we're headed. Inviting you into something larger than yourself.
There is a very fortunate convergence at this moment among the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA's) move to a new building; the location of that new building in an innovation district; and the technologies that make possible new ways for our movement to tell its stories.
For more information on Heritage & Vision @ 24, including more information on our still-in progress displays, please view our Visitor's Guide (PDF 11 pages).
Your contributions to this historic opportunity are greatly appreciated! If you would like to donate, please fill out this online giving form or contact us at (888) 792-5885.
H&V@24 allows us to expand on that storied past, and connect it in a living stream to our dynamic present and exciting future. We will be able to truly engage visitors (Unitarian Universalists and newcomers alike) in the spiritual and ethical triumphs and challenges that we all face in living our values. Most important, H&V@24 will allow you to contribute content, tell your stories, and share your vision for our movement's future. More fully than 25 Beacon ever could, Heritage and Vision @ 24 will thus reflect you, our faith tradition's global reach, and where we are headed.
25 Beacon Street has been an important part of our movement's roots and history. As the Christian Register observed (PDF) in the 1920s, of the UUA's move into 25, "a new day in a new house will signalize the larger life of Liberalism."
H&V@24 is to be built at 24 Farnsworth will enable us to take the rich history and heritage of 25 Beacon Street with us. But it also makes possible so much more. Today's technology allows us to create displays that are compelling, multigenerational, interactive, and accessible in multiple formats.
Heritage and Vision at 24 is not confined to a single space; there is no "heritage and vision center" as such. Instead Heritage and Vision are illustrated and interwoven at several key spots throughout the first and second floors and, eventually, in virtual space. Heritage and Vision at 24 cannot show or tell it all. It can light pathways for visitors to learn more about what parts of it interest them, to add their perspectives, and join an ongoing global conversation about who we have been, who we are, and who we aspire to be.
Think of what you see as stops on a long, wide-ranging journey. Throughout, you will find resources for going deeper and learning more. Over time, other stops will be highlighted, and there will be new and different things to see, but always supported by an infrastructure where our stories abide: in archives, libraries, congregations, and other buildings. In print, in still and moving images, in video and sound. On social media sites and elsewhere on the web. And the stories you contribute will become part of that infrastructure, through Heritage and Vision at 24's content management system.
The H&V@24 design includes:

Lip Color is a traditional cream lipstick with nice opaque coverage and great colors, including less conventional but still attractive options. Regardless of depth, the shades have minimal stain, so don't expect long wear.
It all began with lipsticks. In 1991, New York based makeup artist Bobbi Brown debuted a collection of ten lipsticks at Bergdorf Goodman, expecting to sell about one hundred units in a month. She sold more than that the first day. From there, it's been mostly success after success, as Brown launched her classic foundation stick, wrote her first book, Bobbi Brown Beauty The Ultimate Beauty Resource, and enjoyed continued attention as an in-demand makeup artist and beauty educator.
The popularity of the line, particularly the makeup, did not go unnoticed by Estee Lauder, who acquired Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1995. Since Lauder has been at the helm the line has expanded well beyond what Brown likely envisioned back in the early 1990s, and it now includes fragrance and body-care products, among others. Yet it is Brown's makeup that continues to excel with superior foundations (though the ones without sufficient UVA protection disappoint), true matte blushes and eyeshadows, and with all of the other basics that are essential to a woman's classic makeup wardrobe. It isn't the least bit surprising that this makeup collection continues to do so well, because for many women, it's one-stop shopping that combines classic makeup application techniques with enough fun-yet-functional products to keep customer's interest piqued season to season.
Turning to the skin-care collection, there isn't a great deal to say or extol. The prices are rather steep, especially when you consider how many well-intentioned products use jar packaging, and fragrant irritants are a common thread, including in most of the sunscreens, which is a shame. Color is Bobbi Brown's strong point, but you will find a few sleeper hits among the selection of mostly inadequate or problematic skin-care products.
For more information about Bobbi Brown, owned by Estee Lauder, call (877) 310-9222 or visit www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com.
Bobbi Brown Makeup
We admire Brown's latest philosophy on beauty. She says, "The secret to beauty is simple—be who you are." No arguments here! However, it's clear from promotional materials for this line that Brown believes being who you are should involve some amount of makeup, a concept many women may disagree with. Still, there's no question that the right makeup, applied and blended correctly, can make a world of positive difference to a woman, and in this regard Brown's counter staff is well-prepared. It was nice to overhear the makeup artists explaining step-by-step application tips to customers, rather than just pushing products. With just a few exceptions, this is a makeup collection its namesake creator should be proud of—not only for the products, but also for the level of service and education provided.
I have been a huge fan of Bobbi Brown and especially the lipsticks for many, many years now. I can't live without Raisin. Its the perfect red/brown for me (fair skin, blue eyes, light brown hair). Only problem is a few years back they changed the formula and the fragrance does not agree with me. It's hard to describe but to me smells like a lipstick that is on the verge of going rancid. The smell tends to go away after a while. :- /
