Let's go back to that interior, especially the metal pieces and how well they are crafted. I think Nissan hired a machinist to concoct the perfectly, whimsically carved and molded bits of satiny aluminum. I'm talking about the small knurled rectangles on the steering wheel that operate cruise control. The trim ring around the pushbutton starter. The Z in the center of the steering wheel. The shift paddle clefs. The compound surfacing of the shift lever trim plate and the trim plates around the speedometer and the other gauges in the instrument binnacle. It's all entrancing and exquisitely fitted. This is an interior on Audi's plane of perfection, but funkier.

text: I feel miserable. I am in my fourth week of this "new life" and I feel like I've just took a massive step backwards. The first 2 weeks went great, I lost 6lbs each week and felt so in control. Then I threw my back out and have been in agony for the last 2 weeks, I haven't been able to exercise at all and my food choices have been getting gradually worse, week one of injury I kept my food well during the day but then by the time it got to dinner I could barely stand/was too tired to do anything and generally got take-out - I tried to pick healthy options and control portions so I didn't feel too terrible (although I did put on 3lbs) but I figured I'd be back on track and all healed up in a matter of days. But I'm still in pain, I'm getting treatment and I'm able to move around a bit more but I'm still not up to any real exercise and I seem to have just given up, I'm so disappointed in myself, I DIDN'T want those chocolates/cookies/crisps but I ate them anyway. I know I just need to give myself a giant kick up the bum but I'm just feeling so sorry for myself really. I've undone practically all my hard work and I'm struggling to get back on track. I'm not sure what I'm expecting anyone to say other than "stupid girl what are you doing" but I think just writing it down and admitting I'm struggling might help

Legislature needs to act on striper rules
To the Editor:
Game designation is the most effective management strategy for protecting fish and wildlife from commercially motivated exploitation. Game designation maximizes the recreational value of a species and generates the greatest return possible from a finite, public resource.
In Massachusetts, wild striped bass have a far greater sporting value than market value, by a factor of more than 40:1, yet the fishery is managed primarily as a commercial resource. The result is hundreds of millions of dollars in unrealized economic activity, and a mandated over-harvest that is ruining the fishery.
By any measure, striped bass populations are in sharp decline and are in need of protection from regulated greed. Yet the influence of the commercial market stands in the way of implementing the one common management tool that has saved deer, ducks, geese, grouse, trout — all species that at one time were exploited to the brink of extinction but are now in abundance and the focus of vibrant recreational economic activity simply because they were made game species.
Why has game species protection been so long in coming to the oceans? Perhaps it is because of a stubborn, vestigial attitude that, despite all evidence, the ocean's bounty is limitless. Fortunately, there are examples of enlightened fisheries management. Tarpon and bonefish are now regulated as game species most everywhere, as are redfish. Six Atlantic coast states have already designated wild stripers as a game species. It is time for Massachusetts, where striped bass are the most popular marine sport fish, to do the same.
Unfortunately, eight of the nine regulators that decide how the Massachusetts striped bass are regulated have direct financial interests in commercial fishing or are commercial fishermen themselves. The result of this management bias is that wild striped bass are in a losing battle against relentless legal and illegal over harvesting simply because they can be sold for quick money, both legally and on the black market.
No one wishes to knowingly destroy these fish, but that is exactly what is happening. Designating stripers as a game species will eliminate commercially biased regulations and change the way we define the real value of these fish. However, game designation will never come from the present regulators.
It is the legislature that must intercede and make a policy decision declaring wild stripers to be too valuable to be harvested commercially. It is their position to direct the Division of Marine Resources to manage them for their greater common good as a game species. There is still time to make a choice: Conservation or exploitation? Game species or commercial? Saving or selling? The question that will decide the answer is: Does the legislature have the interest or the inclination to make this policy decision? Or, will they be intimidated by the vocal minority that wants the current, biased and destructive regulatory system to stay in place?
These fish are too valuable to our tourist economy, too valuable to the hundreds of thousands of recreational fishermen, and we know better than to be complicit in their demise. It is time to support legislative action, game designation, that will save these unique fish and the recreational economic engine they generate.
Dean Clark
Shrewsbury and Marstons Mills
Co-chairman of Massachusetts Stripers Forever
The real issue with the depletion of the striped bass stock begins where the fish spawn, the Chesapeake. The size regulations in most of the states down there inhibit the fishes ability to reach maturity and spawn.
Relax folks, Dean isn't really trying to "save" bass, just reallocate them to the recreational side. He and his buddy Brad Burns, paid a lot of money to get a "study" done, which says exactly what they paid for it it to say.
Like I said in a previous letter, Stripers Forever isn't a real association, they have no standing with any regulatory body whatsoever, they are a made up online entity, with little to no credibility. The "real" and official recreational group in MA, who represents anglers on striper issues, is the MSBA, who has consistently argued against gamefish status.
This study that SF commissioned, is a lie. It takes total numbers of sportsfishermen, and simply turns them all into striper fishermen and it reaches a lot of it's conclusions, using very old economic information and uses math tricks like extrapolation. Please, make no mistake, although SF claims to have a lot of support, history says otherwise, when you consider that three times now they've gone to the legislature with this nonsense and three times they have lost.
Stripers Forever is just the Coastal Conservation Association in disguise. Given that they can't even tell the truth about who they are, or what their true intentions are, how could anyone believe anything else they say?

Nikkei drops to 3-week low, hit by strong yen and Ukraine concerns
Published on May 7, 2014 10:27 AM
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average tumbled to a three-week low on Wednesday as a stronger yen dragged down exporters and ongoing concerns about Ukraine hurt market sentiment.
The Nikkei was down 2 per cent at 14,170.48 in midmorning trade after falling as low as 14,160.08, its lowest since April 16. Last Friday, the index shed 0.2 per cent to 14,457.51.
Investors returned from a four-day Golden Week holiday to find the dollar had slipped to a three-week low of 101.49 yen.
Traders were also keeping an eye on developments in Ukraine, where supporters of Russia and of a united Ukraine are accusing each other of tearing the country apart. The former Soviet republic is sliding towards war.

Mass Storage Mode requires a device password??
Hi there, i'm new to the Blackberry Perl, and new to this forum/site (it's fantastic - and has helped me with a few problems).
I'm trying to find out how to fix an issue that has just surfaced. Previously, I could just plug in the cord that came with the BB to my USP port and down load my photos to the PC, but just now, when I do this, the BB says....
"Mass Storage Mode is being activated. Enter your device password to grant access".
I haven't put a password on, and I've never had to use one previously.
Can anyone help me with this? -
mass storage password
It should be the same as the security code you would use when you lock your device and need to unlock it to use it again.
[settings]>>>[options]>>>[security options]>>>[general settings]
you can enable a password from here and should be able disable it, etc.
that is the same message I get, but I know I have a password enabled. Sometimes the default password is 0000 or the last 4 digits of your phone number or something similar.
- 10-11-2007, 01:42 AM Thread Author #3
that's so simple
Thanks very much for the answer. I was getting confused because i have a different password for the password keeper and I thought it was this password, but now that i've entered the other one it's working! FANTATSIC - I love this website, everything gets solved.
Cheers - 03-08-2009, 01:39 PM #6
It's the same as the device password. If you disable the device password, it should disable the Mass Storage Mode password. I'm on BES and cannot disable the device password, so I can't verify what I just wrote.
8900 device manager password issue
For some reason, the password u use to unlock your phone per usuall doesn't work when you enter it on the device manager.
I got fed up of wasting time on this, so here's what i did.
Simply go into options - password.
Change it from 'enabled' to 'disabled'
You'll be prompted to enter the password.
Once that�s done, just save the settings and try you device manager again.
No more prompts for the password.
Remember to re-enable your password when done. -

I have scoured the web for the identification of my berry plant but cannot find an answer. I have a photo if anyone is interested I can email it. The mature berries look like blueberries and are a dark violet inside which stains the fingers. The stems of the cluster and branch turn bright pink and after the berry fall off, a small flower like piece is left in its place. Before the berries mature they are green and are not a smooth round shape, but rather a bulbous shape sort of like a mini pumpkin. At that point the branch and stems are also green instead of pink. They are hanging over my fence in clusters. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I figured I better find out what they are before I eat them! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU TIME!!! |

fatamorgana, sounds like you might be right on the first one too, now that I re-read the description. We were thinking too hard on that one! This is certainly the time for people to notice the fruit of pokeweed. And it IS a native plant! |
This is one of my favorite plants, and very common this time of year. The berries are said to be poisonous to humans, but many kinds of birds eagerly eat them. |
- Posted by daesaflgatorfan z8 (My Page) on Sun, Sep 16, 07 at 22:14
People in the South will eat the leaves, but they must be very carefully prepared. Me, I wouldn't try it. However, my grandmothers used to make a pretty dye out of the berries. The more berries, the more intense the color, naturally. I've no idea exactly how they went about doing this, though. Cut it back yearly, or it take hold tighter than a privet. If you have children, get rid of it altogether. |

Here's the skimmy on the lovely pokeweed: *Blatantly stolen from Wikipedia* "Young pokeweed leaves can be boiled three times to reduce the toxin, discarding the water after each boiling. The result is known as poke salit, or Poke salad, and is occasionally available commercially. Many authorities advise against eating pokeweed even after thrice boiling, as traces of the toxin may still remain. For many decades, Poke salad has been a staple of Southern US cuisine, despite campaigns by doctors who believed pokeweed remained toxic even after being boiled." Indeed, they can be used well for dyes. :) Eat enough of the berries and they'll kill you- however (though I would never ever recommend it), if perhaps two or three were eaten by accident you probably would live. lol ;) |
This is actually one of my favorite plants, but I wouldn't try to eat it. Here's information on uses from PFAF (of course, PFAF has edible uses for just about everything): The leaves are poisonous[21, 62, 76, 95]. They are said to be safe to eat when young, the toxins developing as the plants grow older. Another report says that the seeds and root are poisonous. The plant sap can cause dermatitis in sensitive people[222]. The plant contains substances that cause cell division and can damage chromosomes. These substances can be absorbed through any abrasions in the skin, potentially causing serious blood aberratins, and so it is strongly recommended that the people wear gloves when handling the plant[222, 274]. Leaves - they must be cooked and even then it is best to change the water once[1, 2, 4, 33, 95]. They are used like spinach[183]. Only the young leaves should be used since they become toxic with age[102]. Caution is advised, see the notes above on toxicity. Young shoots - cooked[20, 33, 62, 102]. An asparagus substitute[183], they are delicious[159]. The shoots are sometimes blanched before using, or forced in cellars to provide an early crop[183]. The tender clear inner portion of the stem can be rolled in cornmeal and fried[183]. Although cultivated on a small scale in N. America for its shoots, caution is advised, see notes above. A nutritional analysis is available[218]. Fruit - cooked and used in pies[159, 213]. Poisonous raw, causing vomiting and diarrhoea. Even the cooked fruits should be viewed with caution. The fruit is a berry about 12mm in diameter[200]. A red dye is obtained from the fruit and used as a food colouring[183]. |
Here is a link that might be useful: PFAF
There are several massive Pokeberries growing along the property line with my neighbor. The birds hang out over there and eat the berries this time of year. Naturally they have spread the seed around and I have it coming up all over in the yard. It is quite an aggressive spreader but because it's native and the birds love it, I let a lot of it grow. This year, I clipped off clumps of ripe berries and put them in a container in the freezer. I'm going to put them out in the feeder during the winter as a berry treat for the birds. |
definitely poke berries or opossum berries as we call em around here. while they can be attractive, dont try to eat them, they have been known to poison some animals. berries or fruit that have been known to poison wildlife should never be ingested by humans. They may not hurt ya, but i wouldnt take the chance. |
>>...The plant has an unusually high potassium content << I was wondering if the plant could safely be composted, or would the toxin have some sort of adverse affect on the finished compost? My soil when tested is low in potassium and nitrogen. Sure is a pretty plant. When we were kids, we would use the berries to make "war paint". Took a few days to wash off. Once we tried to make quill pens from feathers from a dead buzzard, and a jar of the "inkberries", but it never worked out very well. Made me appreciate the new fangled ballpoint pens. If anyone knows about the compost let me know. |

Just to put it out there..I am allergic to the 'sap'. I get a horrible dermatitis. Just keep that in mind if you are cutting it or weedwacking it and you have sensitive skin |

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And so, since God in his mercy has given us this wonderful ministry, we never give up. | 1 Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. |
2 We reject all shameful and underhanded methods. We do not try to trick anyone, and we do not distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know that. | 2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. |
3 If the Good News we preach is veiled from anyone, it is a sign that they are perishing. | 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. |
4 Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don't understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. | 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. |
5 We don't go around preaching about ourselves; we preach Christ Jesus, the Lord. All we say about ourselves is that we are your servants because of what Jesus has done for us. | 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. |
6 For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made us understand that this light is the brightness of the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. | 6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. |
7 But this precious treasure -- this light and power that now shine within us -- is held in perishable containers, that is, in our weak bodies. So everyone can see that our glorious power is from God and is not our own. | 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. |
8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don't give up and quit. | 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; |
9 We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going. | 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. |

This was excellent pizza and a friendly place. Loved the faina too. We'll go back for sure. I recommend it whole-heartedly.
This place is horrible, without confort and charm. The pizza is too bad! Who thougth that it was good? Certainly, doesn't know what is a great e truth pizza!!! Argh!!!!!
The pizza was absolutely amazing, the faina was delicious!!! I reheated the pizza the next day and it still kept it's crunch and tasted so good. This place makes my mouth water. As for the service it took a long time just to order but once in the food came fast. This is my pizza place!!
at the hostel, the staff recomend this pizzeria... and they were right when sayng "oh! you need to go here... they make the best pizza in Montevideoo" a good tip: in Uruguay, if you ask for pizza you're gonna get it without the cheese... so make sure you ask for a MUZZARELLA if you want the regular one ;)
I've been to El Horno de Juan in Portones and it is truly the best pizza in Montevideo! Although you can't call ahead to order nor do they deliver, the wait out in the cold is definitely worthwhile.

Oklahoma St. Cowboys (13-3)
@Texas A&M Aggies (15-1)
Wednesday, January 12
Reed Arena
Attendance: 12,310
Oklahoma St.
Texas A&M
College Station, TX (Sports Network) - Nathan Walkup and David Loubeau both scored 16 points and No. 14 Texas A&M rolled to a 71-48 win over Oklahoma State at Reed Arena.
Khris Middleton and Dash Harris notched nine points each for the Aggies (15-1, 2-0 Big 12), who have 12 straight victories since their lone loss to Boston College on November 25. Harris also chipped in seven rebounds.
"We worked real hard on defense in practice, Oklahoma State has great shooters," Walkup said. "We knew they were going to be physical. We had to come out and match their physicality. We knew we had to beat them on boards and play tough defense, and I think we did that tonight."
Ray Penn scored 11 points and dished out four assists for Oklahoma State (13-3, 1-1), which had a two-game winning streak snapped. Marshall Moses recorded a double-double with 12 rebounds and 10 points in defeat.
"We didn't execute. They executed, we didn't,' Moses said. "They took away one option, then the second option, and we didn't know what to do after that. Guys were taking shots when they shouldn't have been."
Oklahoma State rushed out to a 6-0 lead, but the Aggies respond with a better nine-point burst ended by Middleton's layup.
Minutes later, Loubeau's jam gave Texas A&M a 21-20 edge. The home team kept that slim margin until B.J. Holmes made a three-pointer with two minutes left and Loubeau ended the first-half scoring with a layup to give the home team a 35-29 advantage.
The Cowboys made it a three-point game, 43-40, five minutes into the second half thanks to a six-point burst ended by a Markel Brown free throw. Andrew Darko answered with a three-pointer and Texas A&M cruised from there.
The Aggies finished the contest with an 11-0 run for the final margin. Loubeau started the run with a jumper and Kourtney Roberson ended it on a free throw with just over a minute left.
John Hampton, Rick Crawford, Joe DeRosa

Madeline Rogero, Mayor
Mayors Proclaim EMS Week
May 21, 2013
- To honor EMTs, paramedics and first responders, Mayor Rogero and Mayor Burchett presented a joint proclamation Tuesday declaring May 19-25 as "EMS Week" in Knoxville and Knox County.
Rural/Metro EMTs, paramedics and firefighter first responders, Knoxville Fire Dept. first responders and Knoxville Rescue Squad representatives were at the ceremony to accept the proclamation from the Mayors.
"National Emergency Services Week provides a perfect opportunity to recognize our emergency medical providers for the important work they do," said Mayor Rogero. "Whether it is a career or a volunteer effort, emergency medical service providers spend thousands of hours each year preparing to be ready for any emergency."
National EMS Week was established in 1974 by the American College of Emergency Physicians to show its appreciation for those who provide safe and efficient pre-hospital care in emergencies.

2013 and earlier Lexus RX 350 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
gandalf1 Posts: 62bann1810 - Sure, the total MSRP was 41,496. In addition to the Premium Plus package ($2060), it included 18" alum. alloy wheels ($495), heated front seats, rain sensing wipers, headlamp washers ($665), cargo mat ($92), wheel locks ($69) and delivery fee of $715. (I'm reading this right off the window sticker).
I really hadn't planned on getting anything other than the Premium Plus package, but it didn't seem like I could get an RX without all this other stuff since all the dealer quotes I got had the same MSRP. But as it turns out, I'm glad it has the extra stuff, the heated seats were really nice during the recent cold weather we've had in So. Cal. and the wheels are really nice too.
Btw, after a month of ownership, my wife and I love the car! It is our first Lexus and really is a cut (or more) above anything we have owned. -
lexus3507 Posts: 2Hi hlin88,
I'm planning to purchase my Lexus from Longo Lexus and I thought your price was great. Just wondering if you had the Navigation System/Mark Levinson Package w 17" included with your price. Also, could you give me your name so that I can tell Dennis Shen that you recommended me to him.
Thank you. -
lovecd Posts: 50Just got my 2007 RX350 AWD, with Navigation system at $39,388 (including $55 documentation fees), MSRP $45706. Very positive experience with their sales manager, Amal. Drove it back to Seattle this afternoon. Will do local registration once the MSO is cleared. A complete satisfied experience.
In the meantime, I would like to thank Zopuh and Sunil for their guidence for buying Lexus from CA and appreciate their detailed help! -
tommyg12 Posts: 158Lexus has announced upgrades to the '08 RX, with no increase in msrp. Should be at dealerships within two weeks.
http://pressroom.toyota.com/Releases/View?id=TYT2007012616699 -
snsn Posts: 56My sales agent stated that they would only be offering $500 off the sticker price on 2008's, which are due to hit the lot in a couple weeks. He did quote $37,301 for the following on a 2007 white RX350:
Vehicle Base $37,400
Factory Installed Accessories: FT PM RS TO
Port Installed Accessories ..: C1 WL
Total Accessories: $2,186
Destination Charge: $750
Total $40,301
Edmunds has the dealer invoice at $35,588 and TMV at $39,903. I am in NE Florida and there is only one Lexus dealership in my town. He gave me a verbal quote on trading in my 2006 BMW, which was very low. I think he can go lower on the price and higher on the trade-in. -
kkhome Posts: 9
snsn Posts: 56After looking at my trade, the price has now dropped. Before it was $37,301 less trade $21,000 (verbal quote) = $16,301 plus tax, tag and title. Now the offer is $12,613 (drive off) which includes tax, tag and title. I am looking at both the Infiniti FX35 and Lexus RX350. I like the look of the FX35 and it comes with more standard features. Hubby prefers the RX350 since it's roomier and has better gas mileage.
bann1810 Posts: 15SNSN
Also love the FX35 and if mpg wasn't and issue the FX45 would be my choice. $12,613 sounds better but just depends on the model, condition and mileage of the BMW. $37,301. for an RX350 that has an invoice of $35,588. is not a good deal. Its always good to make buying the new vehicle and selling your car to them 2 separate dealings, dealers love to mix the two to confuse buyers. I have a January NADA book if you would like me to check the value of the BMW. email me if I can help. -
cappieb Posts: 2Thank you to all who have posted prices. It has been so helpful to me in figuring out how much I should have to pay. Your posts reassured me that I didn't have to pay anywhere near the $43,056 MSRP on my Lexus (All-Wheel Drive, No nav). So here's what I did: I hope it helps someone else. This week, I made a few polite internet inquiries at Longo, Westminster, Mission Viejo. Longo didn't respond for a couple of days. I haven't heard from Westminster yet. But the internet guy at Mission Viejo gave me a price of $36,044 in a couple of hours. Longo's offer came in late, and $760 higher. We bought it at Mission Viejo Lexus today. It was a very nice experience there, straightforward, no games.
gtoph Posts: 22I tried a broker as well. It doesn't cost anything and the more quotes you can get the better I feel. The dealers in colorado wouldn't do much for me (though I was looking for the 400h not the 350). I did called/visit the local dealers and also got right around what the broker quoted me as well though.
I also used the fleetrates.com website and there quote was pretty good as well... better than the brokers.
As it turns out, after reading a lot of stories on the forums, I got the best deal on my own with a dealer out california. Even with shipping back to denver it was a deal. Like I say, I was looking at the 400h, but you might want to shop out of state on your own for the 350. The FWD seems to be more popular in Cali, so if your after an AWD you have an little more negotiating power there. -
36265 Posts: 2You might want to see if you can find an 07 - they are going at really good discounts until the 07 inventory is exhausted. I had a good deal on a 08 $45706 sticker
but when it arrived backed out after seeing the chrome door handles. Did not like them at all. Was still able to find the same vehicle as an 07 with another dealer and went that route for $1600 below invoice on the older model vehicle. -
lokie Posts: 8Just want to share experience as I had been reading the posts for like 5 months before I bought mine.
Bought it on 1/31 at Stevens Creek because they had the color I want and was welling to accept my offer of $42,888 OTD (which was $1,5xx below invoice can't exactly remember the amount). I emailed 3 dealers mainly in the peninsula (i.e. Serramonte and Putnam), but only Stevens Creek agreed to my OTD offer. Overall experience with Stevens Creek was great. Agreed everything via email and when I got there, I just took the RX for a spin and I was outta there in like 2 to 2.5 hours. The experience of buying a lexus is so easy and time saving comparing to my previous experience buying other new cars.
Did financing through an online bank/loaner - was able to get 5.99% apr for 3 years. I would suggest to use an online bank/loaner if u can't get 5.99% or lower elsewhere. I was also waiting to see if Lexus has any special financiing (waited like 3 months) and never seen it. So finally decided to buy it using the online loaner before the 08's are out.
Thanks to all those who previously posted their buying experience and prices paid as reading your posts helped me a lot. -
glk2 Posts: 13Hi gtoph ~ Interested in finding out the dealership in CA you worked with; shipping costs; and if you purchased or leased? I have been in contact with several (thanks to this forum), but one who is giving me a great price can't seem to figure out how to do a lease in Colorado....glk
gtoph Posts: 22I don't want to hijack this thread too much as it is for 350's, but I contacted quite a few in CA (mostly southern). The two best quotes I got came from riverside and westminster (both just outside of LA). I've posted more details in the 400h forum.
Real quick though... I purchased (as they said they can't do out of state financing and I wasn't interested in a lease.. I don't know if that's really true or not) and shipping was around 600

I made this dress for my Friend's daughter Pachu, last Dec. It was for my friend's brother's wedding. All of six but Pachu was very happy and exited when she came for the final fitting and refused to take dress off. I had a hard time getting her to pose, but finally after wearing my shoes she couldnt run around much. I made the shrug since it was winter.
The fabric is som kind of satin.The shrug material is polyester. The dress is completely lined with cotton. Zipper at centre back, the body of the shrug is lined and fully my own pattern. closes with single loop and button. I had to do a bit a hand sewing to keep the gathers in place.

EVENT IN GENEVA: Key Findings of the Global Nutrition Report 2014, Wednesday 28 January 2015, 18:00 - 20:00 GMT
The World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the UN System Standing Committee on Nutrition (UNSCN) and the Global Health Programme of the Graduate Institute, are organizing an event on the Global Nutrition Report 2014, whose global launch took place during the 2nd International Conference of Nutrition (ICN2) in Rome last November.
The Global Nutrition Report 2014 tracks worldwide progress in improving nutrition status and identifies bottlenecks to change. The Report's assessment of the Global Nutrition Targets for 2025 set by the World Health Assembly (WHA) shows that the world is not on track to meet any of these goals. A strong commitment to improving nutrition faster and build this goal into the post-2015 process is needed. Better data on nutrition outcomes and nutrition financing, as well as investments in nutrition-sensitive programs and the development of effective accountability mechanisms, will be crucial elements in scaling up nutrition action.
Strategies to bridge the gap between data and policy action and opportunities to ensure measurable progress within the Global Monitoring Framework for the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and the post-2015 processes will also be explored by keynote addresses and a panel discussion including engaged academics, policy makers and international organizations.
This event takes place during the week of the 136th session of the WHO Executive Board and will consist of:
• Keynote presentation on the Global Nutrition Report by Prof. Lawrence Haddad (Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI)
• Panel discussion with nutrition stakeholders moderated by Prof. Ilona Kickbusch (Director of the Global Health Programme at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva)
• Presentation of the WHO policy briefs and the nutrition target tracking tool by Dr. Francesco Branca (Director of Nutrition for Health and Development, WHO and UNSCN Executive Secretary)
Please register here.

The event is in English language only,
and there will be a Live webcast at http://graduateinstitute.ch/globalhealth

Global Nutrition Report 2014
The first-ever Global Nutrition Report provides a comprehensive narrative and analysis on the state of the world's nutrition in all its forms. To download, click here.
The Global Nutrition Report convenes existing processes, highlights progress in combating malnutrition, identifies gaps and proposes ways to fill them. At its core, the Report aims to empower nutrition champions at the national level to better inform policy decisions and to strengthen the case for increased resources. The Report also provides civil society organisations (CSOs), donors, governments, the business sector, researchers, the media and engaged citizens with evidence of the current scale of malnutrition, the measures being taken to combat it, as well as highlighting what more needs to be done.
The Report aims to guide action, build accountability and spark increased commitment for further progress towards reducing malnutrition much faster.
The inaugural Global Nutrition Report will be launched officially on November 20th, 2014 at the 2nd International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) in Rome, alongside the 2014 Global Hunger Index. The event will showcase the main findings of the Global Nutrition Report and highlight key data on the state of the world's nutrition. During the ICN2 side-event, the Report's findings will be reflected upon by members of government, donor agencies, academia and civil society.

Benefits and Costs of the Food and Nutrition Targets for the Post-2015 Development Agenda Post-2015 Consensus
In an early release for the upcoming research papers focused on Food Security and Nutrition, Susan Horton, CIGI Chair in Global Health Economics at University of Waterloo, Canada, and John Hoddinott, Professor of Food & Nutrition Economics and Policy at Cornell University present a cost-benefit analysis of nutrition interventions. The outcome document of the Open Working Group calls for the adoption of two WHO nutrition goals on stunting and wasting: Reduce by 40 per cent the number of children under 5 who are stunted, and reduce and maintain childhood wasting to less than 5 per cent.
Ultimately, the paper argues that addressing stunting in children is an ideal target for the post-2015 development agenda. "Stunting is a better goal than underweight. It is an excellent measure of the health, diet and care provided to children during the 1000 days from conception to age two. Although it is not quite as predictive of mortality as underweight, it is much more predictive of economic outcomes (cognitive scores, education and wags). Stunting data need to be complemented with additional information provided about the extremes in weight for height, namely wasting in countries facing short-term crises, and overweight/obesity in all countries, even the low and middle income ones."
For more insight, click here.
Economic models suggest that the returns to investments in nutrition have high benefit cost ratios, and that this should be a top development priority. A very rough estimate suggests that reducing numbers stunted by 40% by 2030 globally would be a "stretch" goal - optimistic, but possibly achievable with strong effort. A higher target might prove problematic unless trends in Sub-Saharan Africa change.

The State of Food and Agriculture 2014 is released!
The new released report "The State of Food and Agriculture 2014: Innovation in family farming" analyses family farms and the role of innovation in ensuring global food security, poverty reduction and environmental sustainability. It argues that family farms must be supported to innovate in ways that promote sustainable intensification of production and improvements in rural livelihoods.
The report states the need for family farms to ensure global food security, to care for and protect the natural environment and to end poverty, undernourishment and malnutrition. Goals can be thoroughly achieved if public policies support family farms to become more productive and sustainable; in other words policies must support family farms to innovate within a system that recognizes their diversity and the complexity of the challenges faced.

2014 Global Hunger Index Launched
The 2014 Global Hunger Index (GHI) report which has just been released on the 13th of October 2014, states that ending hunger in all its forms is possible and that it must now become a reality.
The report indicates that the overall state of hunger in developing countries has improved since 1990, falling by 39 percent, according to the 2014 GHI. Despite progress made, the level of hunger in the world is still "serious," with 805 million people continuing to go hungry, according to estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
The report brings new insights to the global debate on where to focus efforts in the fight against hunger and malnutrition. The global average obscures dramatic differences across regions and countries. Regionally, the highest GHI scores-and therefore the highest hunger levels-are in Africa south of the Sahara and South Asia, which have also experienced the greatest absolute improvements since 2005. South Asia saw the steepest absolute decline in GHI scores since 1990. Progress in addressing child underweight was the main factor behind the improved GHI score for the region since 1990. The report provides more insight on countries' progress and levels of hunger.
The 2014 GHI report reflects on the hidden hunger problem-also called micronutrient deficiencies-. This shortage in essential vitamins and minerals can have long-term, irreversible health effects as well as socioeconomic consequences that can erode a person's well-being and development. The report then offers possible solutions to hidden hunger including: long term food-based approaches: dietary diversification, fortification of commercial foods; and bio fortification. Short term, vitamin and mineral supplements can help vulnerable populations combat hidden hunger. Along with these solutions, behavioural change communication is critical to educate people about health services, sanitation and hygiene, and caring practices, as well as the need for greater empowerment of women at all levels. Moreover, governments must demonstrate political commitment to prioritize the fight against malnutrition. Governments and multilateral institutions need to invest in and develop human and financial resources, increase coordination, and ensure transparent monitoring and evaluation to build capacity on nutrition; governments must also create a regulatory environment that values good nutrition. This could involve creating incentives for private sector companies to develop more nutritious seeds or foods.
Overall, transparent accountability systems are needed in order to ensure that investments contribute to public health, while standardized data collection on micronutrient deficiencies can build the evidence base on the efficacy and cost effectiveness of food-based solutions. These and other recommendations set out in this report are some of the steps needed to eliminate hidden hunger. To start reading, click here.
