When to Cut Out the Bottle?
Hello Again All,
My daughter will be 14 months old next week and I was wondering when is a good time to get rid of the bottle. She drinks out of a sippy cop most of the time but still takes a bottle first thing in the morning and before we put her to bed (she doesn't take the bottle to bed with her). She doesn't seem to care what her milk comes in so I don't think she will be "traumatized" by the loss of a bottle but I am just not sure when the apporpriate time is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
So What Happened?™
Well after taking everyone's advice and knowing my daughter I decided that we would go cold turkey on the bottle. So last night before she went to bed we did the same things we do every night except I gave her a sippy cup rather than a bottle and she didn't seem to care. This morning again, when I got her up, I gave her a sippy cup instead of a bottle. She wasn't so sure about it at first but I think she was too thirsty to put up a fight about it. Hopefully we are done with the bottle! Thanks for all of your great advice. I know I can always count on Mamasource for good advice!

My ped. told me to quit the bottle by the first birthday. We found a great sippy cup at walmart with a soft "nipple" that made the transition a breeze.
Good Luck.

Mine son is 12 1/2 months and was off the bottle at 10 1/2 months. Dr. recomends to start at 12 months. He still likes his regular milk warm though.

Well, babies have a very, very strong and innate need to suck, and this lasts for well beyond the first 12-18 months. You can certainly try to phase out the bottle, but just know that sucking often helps them organize themselves, soothe & comfort themselves, etc. So the best is to be mindful that the need to suck is developmentally quite normal for a 14 month old AND to follow your daughter's signs - meaning, if you decide you want to try to take the bottle away, see how your daughter responds. If she seems to get really clingy, to regress, to take it hard, etc., consider backing off and going with a more gentle, gradual weaning over a month or so. Just two ideas for gradual weaning (though there are many creative ways to do this) include:
* shorten the bottle/nursing times (you can have the bottle for the length of 2 rounds of the ABC song, gradually reducing that to 1, to half the song, etc.)
* phase out the morning bottle/nursing gradually, then later the evening one
Every child has a different personality, and you can't go wrong if you honor that unique personality. If your child responds well to an abrupt removal of the bottle, that's great. If your child needs more of a gradual transition, that's great too. Just watch her and you will know what's best! :)

Our pediatrician recommended that our kids be off the bottle right around their first birthday.
Good luck!

Hi D.,
I cut off my daughter's bottle at 8 months of age, but she was also ready to give it up. Instead of giving her a bottle first thing in the morning and at night try giving her a sippy cup and tell her thats what big girl's drink. I wiped out the bottle completly, i didn't give her a chance to want the bottle, try that and see if it works and good luck!
A. answers from Cleveland on January 29, 2007
Hello D.-
Well with my son, I started to cut off the bottle around 1 year. He really didn't care what he drank out of, so it really wasn't a big deal. I just kept giving him sippy cups and he took to them with no problem. The avent bottle can turn into a sippy cup and I think that's a good start. The top part of the cup is a rubbery type, so it's good for them to chew on! Best of luck!
E.C. answers from Columbus on January 27, 2007
My sons' pediatrician recommended they be weaned off the bottle by 15 months. At their one year check-ups, she would ask me to try to have them weaned from the bottle by their 15 month check-up. I also breast-fed them both (my 1st one for 9 months and my second for 11 months) so neither of them was very attached to the bottle. It wasn't a hard process, I just took away one every couple of weeks, until the night time one was left (like you, I held them at night with the bottle) and around 14 months, I quit giving them the night-time one. Some good advice she gave me early on, was to never let my children hold their own bottle, because as they get older, they will be tired of being held and will associate the bottle with "down time." If they wanted a bottle, they could not play while drinking it. That seemed to hold true for both of them (although, now that they are 6 and 2, I still hold them, just without a bottle :-) Good luck!
R.S. answers from Cleveland on January 26, 2007
I say now is good. If it won't be traumatic then just get rid of them. Good Luck.
A.R. answers from Cincinnati on January 28, 2007
My pediatrician told me to stop the bottle around 12 months. I continued until my daughter was 15 months because she refused to drink milk out of a sippy cup and I was worried that she wouldn't get enough calcium. At my daugther's 15 month checkup my pediatrician told me to immediately take her off the bottle because the sucking motion starts to deform the babies mouth and that can cause all sorts of dental problems later on.
T.D. answers from Canton on January 27, 2007
Hi D.,
If she is drinking out of a sippy cup then you should be putting away the bottles. My son did this same thing. Try giving her a sippy cup in the morning instead of her bottle and see how that goes. I would still give her bottle at night. Then if she does well with that then give her a sippy cup at night and see what she does. You have to gradually wean her off or it won't work. Just keep giving her sippy cups even if she throw a fit because she will eventually get thirsty and drink out of it and she will get use to it. Maybe reward her somehow if she does it without throwing a fit.

Tool "What can I do?"
Language: EnglishProject Featuring This Tool: Rainbow Resources
The children use drama to consider how to respond to bullying based on sexuality or gender.
Time | 90 minutes |
Approximate number of participants | 10-25 |
Age | under 10, 10-15 |
Date published | 9 Dec 2011, 15:22 |
To raise awareness of different kinds of bullying
To consider ways victims and bystanders can respond to bullying
Step-by-step instructions
1. Ask the children to think of situations they have witnessed where someone was bullied based on gender or sexuality. Divide them into small groups of four or five and ask them to share their examples. They should explain:
What happened? Who else was there? How did it make them feel? How did they and others react?
2. Ask the children to decide on one example in which the situation was not resolved (or a mixture of the examples) and prepare a short play of the example they have chosen.
3. Show the short plays to everyone in turn. After each play is finished ask questions based on the situation:
What happened in this situation? Who was bullied? Why?
How did you react? How did others react?
How did you feel watching the play?
4. Explain that the group will now play their scene again but this time the group as a whole will try to change the situation to make it better. During the play, anyone in the audience can clap to signal that the play must freeze at that point, then the person should get up, tap someone (except the bully) on the shoulder and replace them in the scene.
IMPORTANT! There can be no 'magic solutions'. The bullies cannot suddenly be reasonable people who treat everyone nicely. Therefore the bully cannot be changed. The changes need to be based on real things either the person being bullied or others present could do to make a change.
,p>5. Each time the scene is changed, discuss with the group again:What changed?
Do you think this is realistic?
Would you feel comfortable to do this in a real situation?
Do you think this would have an impact?
6. When each scene is exhausted or the conflict has been 'resolved', go to the next one (you might not find a 'solution' for every scene).
How do you feel after the performances?
Which of the solutions will you use in your everyday life?
Often it is useful for the facilitator to join in the play and move it along if things become silly.

Please login to view IET.tv Technology channel presentations.
Improving the recognised maritime picture has been a subject of an increasing interest from a variety of users including military, law enforcement, environmental agencies, sea fright carriers or offshore oil and gas industries.
The IET technical seminar on Maritime Surveillance from Space will discuss implications of new space-based capabilities to collect, store and process information on the maritime environment. Major technologies including space-based AIS and SAR will be covered, with a detailed focus on the key challenges like payload design challenges or interference mitigation.
Data collection and fusion capabilities are of critical importance in the maritime surveillance environment so this seminar will also be looking at the integration of different satellite data streams (optical, radar, S-AIS, LRIT) with conventional ship reporting systems (AIS, VMS coastal radar/VTS).

Marvel Adventures: The Avengers #1
- Posted by Johanna on May 21, 2006 at 8:27 pm
- Category: Superhero Reviews
- PUBLISHER: Marvel
Looking for a good superhero comic read? Some of the best straightforward work is being done in the "kiddy" titles… and best of all, they're usually done-in-one stories, and you don't have to worry about the inclusion of rape or gratuitous violence or outrageous sexual positioning.
I've always enjoyed team titles, but I haven't been able to get into the Avengers as a series in the past, either because of poor, boring writing (*cough* Bendis) or too much history/continuity emphasis (*cough* Busiek). Now, it appears that I have another chance with this series. Jeff Parker writes, Manuel Garcia draws, and Scott Koblish inks.
First off, I find it interesting who was chosen for this team. Captain America, Iron Man, and Hulk, yeah, they've been Avengers off and on from the beginning. Wolverine and Spider-Man, they're in the current stories and they have huge recognition value. If this is supposed to be Marvel's premier team, then it makes sense to include them, even if it doesn't suit their characters. And then we come to the girls.
I applaud considering diversity when long-standing franchises are redone. This is a different century from when most of these superhero properties were created or became popular, and I have higher expectations these days. The team needed some females, and it would be nice if it also had some different ethnicities, too. So we get Storm (ok, very popular, very distinctive, kills two birds with one stone) and Giant-Girl. (Who? Apparently Ant-Man's daughter has wandered over from Young Avengers while wearing Dad's antenna. Update: I'm told that Giant-Girl isn't Cassie but Janet, formerly the Wasp, even though it seems completely wrong to call her a "Girl".)
(Where's Scarlet Witch? was my first thought. I don't know a lot of Marvel history, but I had a superhero lunchbox in grade school that I picked because she was on it and I thought she was cool. But magic powers are hard to explain consistently and hard to write, and she's been tainted by events in the main universe.)
For those of you wondering if I'm ever going to get around to the story, here's what happens. The book opens with the Avengers getting fired from helping the military, who have come up with robot soldiers that don't age or get hurt. (That's a unique choice, introducing a new team and comic by making them irrelevant. Of course, the point of the story is to show the government reps just how wrong they are.) When I tell you the system's named Ultron, many of you will see where this is going… but that's another way Parker's story is clever. He's redone "robot creation goes bad" in a context that's new for existing readers and still makes sense to new readers.
I have a soft spot for any comic that features well-meaning but dumb Hulk, and that's what we get here. When Ultron is introduced via a pixelated image on a giant computer screen, Hulk says "Hulk hate video games!" He's a little smarter than a dumb beast, which makes him even funnier, as well as a vehicle for the writer to make little counterpoint jabs. The other dialogue is efficient as well, establishing background and character economically and to-the-point.
By page four, they're all fighting. No book-long filler speeches here! Superhero action is the point, and it's straight to it. The characters aren't forgotten, though, with each reacting uniquely and in keeping with their individual voices. The fight leads into another mission, keeping the excitement high but with a variety of events and pacing. It's also convenient that the robot bad guys have to identify their opponents… which means info blurbs for those new to the characters.
Is this a superhero comic for the ages, one to be remembered decades later? No, it's just a damn good read with heroes happy to do their jobs with a minimum of angst.
To close, a few more of the funny lines:
Giant-Girl coming up from a tidal wave attack: "I think I swallowed a shark."
Storm, giving a status report: "We're in the middle of the Ultron infantry, outnumbered about 300 to 1. So we're fine. You can come watch if you like."

May 22, 2006 at 12:59 AMI agree with you about the "kiddy" titles featuring some darn good super-hero comics. Parker's Fantastic Four is pretty good too, and I also like Adam Beechan's JLU. Of course, the gold standard was when Ty Templeton was writing the Batman Adventures comic.
- Brett Says:
May 22, 2006 at 7:09 AMI loved this as well and enjoy the other Marvel Adventures titles. My son and I both read them and they have gotten him drawing all the time, which is absolutely great. I appreciate that the titles stay in the family friendly range without talking down ala Superfriends. Big thumbs up.
- Johanna Says:
May 22, 2006 at 7:16 AMMy favorite before this was Teen Titans Go! written by J. Torres. Great fun, that one.
- Shawn Hill Says:
May 22, 2006 at 3:25 PMYou're not the first long-time reader to prefer the kiddie versions, but this is the first one to hook me, too. I've often wondered why Storm and other characters can't make it into the Avengers if Wolverine and Spidey can, and this was an amusing, very well-drawn story. I may be subbing this title, even though I also still read the awful mainstream one.
- Martin Gray Says:
May 23, 2006 at 6:21 PMNice review, I agree that this was a fab comic – the first Marvel Adventures I've read. I must track down some more.
- Rob Barrett Says:
May 24, 2006 at 5:25 PMThanks for the heads-up, Johanna. I got the last copy of this issue at my comic store today, and I enjoyed the story as much as you did. Like Martin Gray, I may start picking up some other Marvel Adventures titles . . .
- Comics Worth Reading Says:
October 19, 2006 at 12:26 PM[…] Art is by Cameron Stewart, and the issue is written by Jeff Parker. I've enjoyed his issues of this series, because it's good superhero team adventure written so anyone can enjoy it. […]
- bob Says:
August 10, 2007 at 10:48 AMWhat a great book! Yes, i read it to my son but I like it myself! Fun to see the Hulk be in a team, having banner be somewhat in control, or put out of control by his teammates!
And Giant Girl! Love her!!!!

Also, bleh, i didn't expect TK to waste about 4 pages on just Nell and Orihime talking...what a waste of pages. -_- The fight-scene was so-so, hope he comes up with better stuff next chapter.
Yeah i don't think he is going to disappoint, hopefully this chapter was setting the scene for an epic face off i wonder if we might even see GrimJow's released form soon.
refrain from double posting...use the edit button!
grimmjow's smile is really wearing me out...WIPE THAT SMILE OFF HIS FACE, ICHIGO!!
yeah, kubo shouldn't have wasted those pages...he could've shrunk it down to 1 to 2, but noooo, he just had to spread it with big pictures...
ichigo's doing better than I expected, though.
I hate chapters like this...nothing happened. Kubo set up for a fight and Inoue has a rather predictable reaction.
Agreed! Actually.. I just really want someone to rip that blasted mask off... |D
But I'd say for the last few chapters Bleach has been doing exceptionally well, I cant remember the last time I've really been excited for the next week's release.. Hope he keeps up this trend.. ^^

"I ordered these invitesfor my daughter's communion. I was especially happy with how quickly they came - just a couple of days. Wow!! Overall, I was pleased with the quality and the design of the invite. I ordered matte, so for future orders which I'm sure there will be I'll probably order semi-gloss to see the difference. Thanks Tiny Prints!! Can't wait for the guests to receive them."
"The invitations' designs and color were excellent for the occasion that my wife and I were very impressed and happy we chose to order it through this company. Even the quality of the envelopes were awesome. Excellent job Tinyprints......keep up the excellent work you are doing!"
"I ordered these cards for my daughter's first communion and am extremely please with the purchase. The paper is very nice with sharp and clean print quality. The colors are soft and feminine, and the font looks great and is easy to read."
"This is the most elegant, beautiful Baptism invitation I have seen. The colors are soft - perfect for a little girl. Have received so many compliments from guests. I called with a question and the staff was so helpful and professional. Answered all concerns. Fast production and delivery. Will certainly order more products in the future."
"Very pretty card for our baby girls' baptism. Plenty of lines available to add the details for the reception, etc. I also loved that I could add a sweet picture of her onto the back of the card. My sister called as soon as she opened it from the mail and said how beautiful she thought it was. I am very happy with this purchase, a very simple and sweet invite."

[Windows] Easily save online images to pre-defined locations using hotkeys with SavePictureAs
Posted By Justin On January 14, 2013 @ 12:07 AM In Windows | 14 Comments
[1]SavePictureAs is one of those programs you are either going to love or hate. Not because of how it performs, but because of its entire point of being. If you find yourself saving tons of pictures from the internet to your computer in different folders, you will love it. If not, there is no reason to get it.
Main Functionality
SavePictureAs is a program that allows you to save image you find on the internet to different folders on your computer with just the click of a button. In short, it lets you set up 5 different hotkeys that will automatically save pictures to certain locations on your computer.
[2]SavePictureAs is a very simple program. In short, it allows you to setup custom hotkeys that will automatically save pictures you find on the internet to different folders. This is great for people who do a lot of picture hunting online, but not so great for people who don't. If you don't think this function sounds useful, I can save you some time by saying there is no need to continue reading this review, because that is the only function this program performs. This is not a bad thing, but it is not one of those programs that has a ton of abilities.
For the most part, the program is extremely easy to use. Simply unzip it in the location you want, and start setting up some different folders. The program is completely portable, but since you are designating certain hotkeys to certain locations, the debate on just how portable this program is, is kind of up in the air. At the very least, you can say that it does not have to be installed.
After getting it installed, you can setup your hotkeys. Each hotkey will be linked to a different folder on your computer. So let's say you like getting pictures of cars, boats and animals (I don't know…just coming up with random ideas here). You could set up a hotkey for each different category. When you find a car picture, you can hit a certain key, and the picture will download to the correct folder. That being said, you better not have more than 5 different folders you save to a lot, because it only gives you 5 hotkey setups.
The biggest problem I have with this program is the fact that it does not work with every browser. In fact, if you don't use Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera or Chrome, you are simply out of luck. Although these are some of the most popular browsers, there are others out there who use other ones. It would have been nice to see some support for them.
I wish there was more I could say about SavePictureAs. However, the program is very simple. It is made for people who like saving pictures they find online. If you do a lot of this, the program is perfect for you, and I recommend it. If not, don't waste your time; it is as simple as that.

I went on a much needed girl retreat last weekend (which was sweet, but not the sweetest thing) while mainbain took to the road with the baintrain.
We had a low-key reunion on Sunday afternoon; the usual - everyone boy telling his most-important-thing-that happened story and me trying to keep up without my head actually spinning around.
After tucking in butterbain (who's turned 6 and gotten a puppy and doesn't have a blog post to show for it), he asked me to come and get in bed and hug him up a bit. Of course I couldn't refuse. He was facing the wall and I was breathing in all his 6-year-old-ness when he said:
You know, Mom? Sometimes when you're gone on a trip, I'm afraid you're with another little boy.
My eyes filled so fast I had to wait a few seconds to respond and tell him I had a hole in my heart that only he could fill. That there would never be another little boy who could take his place. That when God decided he would be our last baby, he made sure butterbain would fit into my heart just perfectly. I also said a silent prayer of thanks that a boy with such an open and sweet heart is a perfect last-child fit!
It was his vulnerable honesty that captured me.
As he showed me the soft underbelly of his heart, I realized he'd given me the gift of the sweetest thing.
Hope your valentines' is filled with unexpected and true sweetness as well!

Hi - I'm writing an article for the BBC News website on workplace discrimination against atheists. I have seen a few stories on this site about people who felt excluded by their co-workers or even lost their job after expressing their beliefs. I would like to talk to people who have been through such an experience. You can contact me directly - my email is firstname.lastname@example.com - or share your stories in this forum.
Brian Wheeler
BBC News, Washington
**Moderator's note: After our initial message of caution to all of you we've had an opportunity to confirm that Mr. Wheeler is indeed who he says he is. Knowing this, we'd like to encourage everyone to please share their stories of discrimination in the workplace with Mr. Wheeler. We shouldn't let the opportunity of a BBC News reporter telling the world the story of very real anti-atheist discrimination pass by! He is on a deadline so you must contact him as soon as you're able to.
(Anyone interested in confirming the legitimacy of this Moderator's note may contact Nelson either on TA or by email.)**

Oh my dog Gordon! How have you not been drummed out of the service for not liking hockey? I don't watch any, never have, never will.
One of my wife of 30 years criteria for males of interest way back when was: doesn't watch hockey (growing up in rural Ontario with 2 tv stations, one tv, one father who worshipped hockey, especially the fights). Also no smoking...good on both counts.
I know the feeling. I'm in Vancouver, so last winter/ spring, people were constantly starting up conversations about the Canucks. I know people were just trying to be friendly, but it actually got to be a little alienating to be constantly stumbling through hockey small talk as if I knew what was going on in the series.
When it comes to religion at my workplace and my community, however, I think it's easier to be irreligious than anything else.
Down in Cincinnati, Ohio, it's all about the Reds baseball team and the Bengals football team(the laughing stock of the NFL!). Gets old quick. Sometimes I feel like I would be a better American if I could just give two hoots about football and baseball. Lol.
At work I really haven't been discriminated against mostly because I am not vocal about it. There are a few people who know but they aren't the gossiping type. Truth be told no one has out right asked me "are you a christian?" but I have had a few hiccups. To show you the type of people I work with, I run an online leather mask shop, nothing terribly outlandish but there are a lot of fantasy designs. Some people at work saw my site and immediately labeled me a Satan worshiper... it was a fringe group so it really didn't effect me, but it is typical for the South. Just recently someone saw me reading The God Delusion on my lunch break (I was off by myself and they approached me), when he saw what I was reading this look of instant disgust and pity came over his face then recommended some author that refutes the book. In my personal life I am a very outspoken atheist, and I will not hide it at work, but at the same time I'm not broadcasting it, the backlash I'm sure would be termination as they have fired others who just look different from cookie cutter bible belt theist. Free country? Yeah right.
Nate wrote: Just recently someone saw me reading The God Delusion on my lunch break (I was off by myself and they approached me), when he saw what I was reading this look of instant disgust and pity came over his face then recommended some author that refutes the book. (end snippet)
@ Nate - You reminded me of something. This past summer I was invited to a family 4th of July day long outing that I was not up to. I don't do well in the heat. I thought if I could bring my Christopher Hitchens book and find a shady spot to read in, i might survive lol. I took the jacket off a fiction book and put it over the Hitchens book so no one would bust me. It worked like a charm. lol.
I'm in deepest, darkest, bible belt, Wise County (oxymoron) Texas. I am known at the local Starbucks and Macdonalds for always having a book with me to read as I masticate and drink. Most of the time it's a Hitchens book, or Dawkins or some related atheist book. I take Hitchens' "The Portable Atheist" with me a lot and I'm entertained by some of the weird looks i get when some of the bible-pounders take notice of the title, fun and games among the dolts.
Are you sure you're not getting funny looks because of your choice of eatery? Damn, if I saw someone reading Hitchens in Starbucks or McDonalds, I'd give them a funny look... why is someone, obviously intelligent, eating in Starbucks or McDonalds? :-)
At Starbucks I have herbal tea and two of the small, overpriced cookies, and at Mickey-Ds I have decaf coffee and fresh oatmeal/raisin cookies that are incredibly delicious. The other item I get occasionally is a biscuit to have with my coffee. "Senior" coffee @ Mickey-Ds cost me 27-cents for a bottomless cup and three cookies are a buck, so for $1.35 with the Texas evangelist governor Perry's cut I can have all the coolies I should and all the coffee I want, which is usually two cups. I have no other fare @ Mickey-Ds as if that's any business of yours. Mostly I go to either establishment to allow these bible-believers to see there are Atheist living among them. Occasionally I get challenged and then the fun begins.
Mind your own bucking fuisness and don't chastise me, or anyone for their choice of diet or from where they obtain it.
Ok, I'll chastise you for jumping off the handle and not reading the :-) at the end of my reply denoting wit/sarcasm/irony... remember, you're amongst friends here, not deepest, darkest, bible belt, Wise County.
Not a problem, chastisement received and noted. ;-)
I can see that you're well anchored in reality... that's good. You're not one of those free floating agnostic types are you?
Ok, I'll stop now... ;-)
I'm a free-floating atheist having passed from an otherwise life-long status as a hyper agnostic until my family, missus, son & daughter dragged me along with them to a fully Pentecostal "Christian Fellowship" church; I gave them a year mostly out of curiosity. That weird experience some 25-years ago resulted in my going with the "Big A" as my brother in law called it, I think he's a deist, and I've been a self-outed and very active atheist ever since. Seeing the weird and bat-shit crazy stuff those folks do made me the non-believer I am today. Erin Go Bragh!

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Discovered diary of Nazi helpmate sheds new light on Holocaust
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
June 11th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The long-lost diary of Nazi Alfred Rosenberg has been recovered, offering new, horrific insights into the systematic deaths of millions of Jews, Poles, gypsies and others during the darkest days of World War II. The U.S. government has recovered 400 pages from the notorious Hitler confidante, who played a central role in the implementation of the concentration camps throughout occupied Europe. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The findings will allow new insight into meetings Rosenberg had with Hitler and other top Nazi leaders, such as Heinrich Himmler and Herman Goering. The diary also includes details about the German occupation of the Soviet Union, including plans for mass killings of Jews and other Eastern Europeans."The documentation is of considerable importance for the study of the Nazi era, including the history of the Holocaust," said the assessment, prepared by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. "A cursory content analysis indicates that the material sheds new light on a number of important issues relating to the Third Reich's policy. The diary will be an important source of information to historians that compliments, and in part contradicts, already known documentation." Rosenberg, a Nazi Reich minister, convicted at Nuremberg and hanged in 1946, might contradict what historians have previously maintained. Further details about the diary's contents could not be learned, and a U.S. government official stressed that the museum's analysis remains preliminary. The diary does include details about tensions within the German high-command. The crisis caused by the flight of Rudolf Hess to Britain in 1941 is presented in detail, according to preliminary analysis. The diary offers a loose collection of Rosenberg's recollections from spring 1936 to winter 1944, according to the museum's analysis. Most entries are written in Rosenberg's looping cursive, some on paper torn from a ledger book and others on the back of official Nazi stationary. An early and powerful Nazi ideologue, Rosenberg forged much of the party's views on racial issues. He directed the Nazi party's foreign affairs department and edited the Nazi newspaper. Several of his memos to Hitler were cited as evidence during the post-war Nuremberg trials. Rosenberg also directed the systematic Nazi looting of Jewish art, cultural and religious property throughout Europe. The Nazi unit created to seize such artifacts was called Task Force Reichsleiter Rosenberg. Convicted of crimes against humanity, Rosenberg was one of a dozen senior Nazi officials executed in October 1946. His diary, once held by Nuremberg prosecutors as evidence, vanished after the trial.

I have one swf which is referenced from two pages (Page 1 and Page 2). Page 1 takes some action that results in the creation of an LSO. I reload Page 1 and it recognizes and reads the LSO.
Then I reload Page 2 and the LSO disappears. I am pretty stumped on this one because there is only one place where I actually delete the LSO and that is never reached. I even commented that line out and it did not change the results. So there are no LSO.clear() statements in my code.
Any ideas?

From Conference Tournaments to March Madness Its the crazy time in college basketball, when a year's worth of play comes down to just a few games.

Rip Your Heart Out Hopsin Feat. Tech N9ne
It seems like Hopsin is back in good spirits since last week's depressing Twitter rant, and he released a new collaboration with Tech Ninna off his upcoming album "Knock Madness." Cop it on iTunes. Who killed it?
Check out Rip Your Heart Out, the latest from Hopsin which features a guest appearance from Tech N9ne on the assist. The track was released on Tuesday, November 12th, 2013. Hopsin's chances in this game are improving with each new release, and Rip Your Heart Out is no exception - quite the opposite, in fact. It's a nice addition to the impressive catalogue Hopsin has been building over the years. We're definitely anticipating the next move.
Did y'all catch Hopsin's latest visual for Hopsin's "Sway In The Morning" Freestyle? Check out Hopsin's profile page for the most recent info, news, songs, and mixtapes. Have you checked out Hopsin's Facebook and Twitter pages?
How do y'all feel about this collabo? Let us know what you think, folks.
Quotable Lyrics
"Well, now that you've all prepared yourselves for the madness
I present to you... Hopsin and Tech N9ne!
See I be bangin on niggas with rappin voodoo
No slack for you fools
If you ain't getting the message I'll slap it through you
My ass is coo coo, cracks is brutal, that's the usual

At first, it was a only a whim: What if, Yolande Daniels wondered, the weekly challenge format of TV shows like Top Chef and Project Runway could be adapted for architectural design? The more she thought about it, the more it made sense, and the result is an advanced studio led by Daniels (shown right, in center of photo) at Columbia University, where she is an assistant professor of architecture.
Runaway: 13 weeks/challenges/critiques=13 ways to probe architecture, now in its second season—oops, semester—poses a different design challenge for its student "contestants" every week. "There's a combination of theoretical projects and practical projects," says Daniels, citing the challenges of the three previous weeks: to design a house with resale value, to design an irreducible component for that house, and to develop a series of advertisements for architecture. (In the last competition, one student took the instantly recognizable Pac-Man screen and redrew it in the shape of the Empire State Building).
When ARCHITECT visited Daniels' studio in early October, her seven students were immersed in the fourth challenge: Redesign/brand the outdoor grill/beverage/dessert bar at Pier I in Riverside Park South. The bar in question is a summer cabana located under Manhattan's West Side Highway on parkland overlooking the Hudson River. Daniels asked her students to visit the site and to design, in place of the cabana, a flexible, "nomadic" bar that could engage park users year-round but still respond to seasonal fluctuations in traffic. Two schemes were later selected as the winners by critic Ben Krone of New York's SHoP Architects.

So happy that I found a deodorant that will last all day, actually until my next shower!
The smell is feminine and subtle, but this is one of the first deodorants that will keep me dry all day long. I will repurchase at the $18 price tag just for that alone. It is an absolute bonus that I love the smell.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Despite the ridiculously expensive price ($18 for a stick), I actually enjoy this deodorant. If you enjoy the Amazing Grace scent, you'll enjoy this deodorant, which lasts all day long. Other deodorants (such as Secret, Dove, etc.) will gradually fade throughout the day, but not this one. At the very end of the day before showering, I am still able to smell the Amazing Grace scent with no trace of body odor. Also, the product is a solid white, but will apply as clear; I haven't had an issue with it rubbing onto my clothing. Would definitely repurchase.
Note: I rated this a 4/5 simply because the deodorant is a little "hard", meaning that it's difficult to rub onto the underarm without having to apply a bit of painful pressure. For $18, it should apply a little more smoothly.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love, love, love that Philosophy started making deodorants that correspond to their perfumes. The Grace perfumes are so lightly scented to begin with that having a matching deodorant is a great way guarantee that you'll keep that nice, fresh scent all day. And I hate the guessing game of figuring out what deodorant and other fragranced products to use with scented body lotions or perfumes when there isn't a whole line of products in the same scent. Now if Philosophy would only come out with hair spray in Grace scents, I'd be set!

Best deodorant I have used. I got the Pure Grace scent. I have very sensitive skin. I've been using it for a couple of months now and have had no problems with rash, peeling skin, itching or stinging which are problems I have had with every other deodorant I have used. It keeps me dry, but my skin stays soft. It also has kept me odor-free all day long even in heat (95-100 F) and humidity (over 60% sometimes). It does leave a bit of a white film if it gets on my clothes, but I've been able to easily brush it off.
The scent of the deodorant itself is light and pleasant. Not overpowering, but still present. It's a bit pricey, but since it's the only deodorant that has worked so well for me, I'll be repurchasing.

I couldn't be any more disappointed in this and I was so excited for it to come out. First off, it HURTS to put on. The product is so dry that I have to rub hard to get any on and the round shape is just not comfortable (that doesn't sound logical but it's true). Secondly, the scent is barely there. I like subtle, but what's the point if I can't smell it. Third, the combination of the above items leaves me.... stinky. I have never had issues with deodarant... any old type will work. But not this. The worst.

I haven't had much love in the past for deodorant versions of perfumes. Sweat and perfume are not a good mix. This is extremely light in scent, though and has an absolutely fantastic, just-showered smell. There's just a tiny hint of the Amazing Grace scent. More to the point, it is real antiperspirant and a deodorant with 18% alluminum, so it's very effective. Although I still wish I could find a truly scent-free antiperspirant/deodorant, I find that the "unscented" antiperspirants (particularly those by Secret) have "masking fragrance" that is more perceptible and harder to wash off than outright fragrance. I am very pleased with this product. It's another way for me to wear Amazing Grace.

$18 for a deodorant? Well, if you like Amazing Grace, you'll follow my logic! After years of deodorants that smell like fake flowers or fake fruit, or worse, a combination of the two, I was positively thrilled to find this addition to the vast AG collection. That being said, it is a nice thick container of no residue deodorant that does the job. It also comes in Pure Grace.

It was sad to see her go, just like that, unceremoniously led away by someone else. We had been together for the past 8 years, sometimes very closely, sometimes I didn't call her for months. But she was always there, ready, poised, available at a moment's notice, rain or shine. Or snow or sleet. With her I learned how to ride on slush-covered roads, and defend myself during challenging, truculent moments. But it was time for our collaboration to end. It's not that she was old, or lost her luster, or that I got bored with our relationship. The inverse is true; she was sturdy and stuck with me through glorious and painful moments alike. Specifically, two particularly unfortunate (and somewhat painful) situations stand out in my memory, where she guided me to well-timed soft landings, one on a pillowy fellow racer, the other ending under a tree, kit ripped to shreds, ferns, dirt and grass mixed with a square meter of what had been skin just a few seconds before. But it was time to go, to find a new partner, as I just didn't or couldn't spend time with her anymore. You see, Latin (Romance) languages have male and female articles. Without getting too involved, in Portuguese, inanimate and living subjects have genders: a tree is feminine, a car is masculine (obviously), a bicycle, well, she is the female companion I've been dating for the better part of the last decade. A bicicleta.
In maintaining my own Joe Racer rules of keeping the road stable to a minimum, the arrival of a new steed meant that the least-ridden machine had to go. Besides, I'm no pack rat. I mean, is there anything more unattractive than a basement filled with seldom-used machines, decapitated bicycles, cannibalized wheels, chewed up bottles, moldy half worn tires? No need to answer. There are enough folks out there in the habit of (or addicted to) accumulating semi-used weaponry for no reason. In other words, unless your basement is a shrine to the prodigious development of human-powered, two-wheeled contraptions, excess stuff has to go. Either give it away to a good cause or put it up for sale, but have someone else enjoy what was once a marvelous tool for speed. It's good for the environment and better for karma.
This all sounds like nonsense, actually. Waxing romantic about recycling cycles… please. But is it really the bicycles we're in love with (rhetorical question)? Or is it that the best moments in the sport, when you were your fittest, dropping fully-tucked triathletes without even trying, hurting your buddies on rides, getting into breakaways at races, were while astride that particular machine? It may well be that you're parting with an icon that witnessed first-hand your best experiences in the sport. I'll bet Lemond longs fondly for his Gitane and TVT bikes, respectively. Or that Miguelón would smile at the thought of an Oria-tubed Pegoretti, made especially for him. See what I'm getting at? You could fittingly say the same things about your favorite soccer boots, the high school baton used in your color guard competitions, or the Speedo swimsuit in which you met your girlfriend (don't ask). Such are examples of the concretization of fleeting yet powerful moments by means of a well-fitting instrument that did exactly what you wanted it to do. As a result of its loss, it is natural that a small-scale mourning ensues. Nothing dramatic, really; just the unremitting pang, that pit in the gut that came the time you lost your favorite lovey as a kid when you moved to a different house, or when you said good bye to a childhood friend when his dad took a job several states away. It's the void you'll nostalgically cherish, but it's necessary just the same, as it fostered growth and independence.
But we have good reasons to cheer: the bike is gone and its new owner is happy. Besides, I made him promise he'd take good care of the old steed, riding as much as possible and making sure to have a good time in the process. That alone etches a smile on my face, turning the gut pit into warm relief.
The old saying goes that the best cure for an old love is new love. She's new, she's blue, and veritably drool-worthy. May the tailwinds prevail forever, may this love be eternal while it lasts.

Hi all,
My 02 reg TDDI focus is noticably a lot more smoky than usual. I have noticed people backing off if I'm pushing her up a hill. I know diesels are commonly smoky but its doing my head in.
I have serviced the car and for the last 8 tanks or so i ahve used Redex, but its not any better.
So.. from what i ahve read, its either the EGR valve or worn injectors. Looking in the area of my EGR valve, I notice a lot of crap deposited, certainly more than anywhere else under the bonnet. is this normal?
The second question is with regards to how difficult injector replacement is? Is this the kind of job average joe can do?

District Man Sentenced to Six-Year Prison Term
In Robbery Earlier This Year in Northwest Washington
- Passerby Saw Defendant Running With Victim's Purse and Tackled Him -
WASHINGTON - Raymond King, 23, of Washington, D.C., was sentenced today to a six-year prison term on a charge stemming from the violent robbery of a woman earlier this year in Northwest Washington, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. announced.
King was convicted of the charge in April 2012, following a two-day trial in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. He was sentenced by the Honorable Florence Pan. Upon completion of his prison term, King will be placed on five years of supervised release.
The evidence at trial showed that King, along with an accomplice who was never apprehended, approached a woman at about 9 p.m. on Feb. 1, 2012, in the 400 block of R Street NW. The accomplice punched the victim in the mouth, causing lacerations requiring eight stitches to her lip and knocking her to the ground. King then proceeded to grab her purse and ran.
The victim chased the robbers through several back alleys. A passerby, who was walking his dog at the time, observed King carrying a purse and running, along with his accomplice, away from the scene with the victim following behind. The passerby tackled King, who was still holding the purse. He and another neighbor held King down until the police arrived. The victim's purse was recovered near the location where King was tackled.
In announcing the sentence, U.S. Attorney Machen commended the work of the Metropolitan Police Department. He also acknowledged the efforts of those who worked on the case from the U.S. Attorney's Office, including Paralegal Specialist Kalisha Clark and Litigation Support Unit member Anisha Bhatia. Finally, he expressed appreciation to Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrew Finkelman and Michelle Bradford of the Fifth District Unit of the Superior Court Felony Major Crimes Section, who investigated and tried the case.

New Program to help Young Breast Cancer Survivors in East Texas
POSTED: Friday, February 24, 2012 - 3:29pm
UPDATED: Friday, February 24, 2012 - 3:40pm
Komen released the following statement in regards to a new program helping young breast cancer survivors:
In 2012, it is estimated that there will be over 220,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed and there will be 63,000 cases of in situ breast cancer. All women are at risk for breast cancer, in fact the leading risk factors for breast cancer are being female and getting older. Statistics show that just five percent of all breast cancer occurs in women under the age of 40 and the most common cancer in pregnant women and postpartum women is breast cancer. While those statistics might seem small, a breast cancer diagnosis for a young woman is frightening. These young women are often still at home raising young children, raising families and trying to maintain a professional career.
Although there are numerous support groups in East Texas for breast cancer survivors, Komen Tyler has identified that there are not any specific programs offering support for "young survivors". The area lacks a support group for pre-menopausal women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. Because of this, a group of women in the Tyler area are starting a new program through the Komen Tyler Affiliate. The group is aimed at helping young women (50 and younger) get through the diagnosis of and treatment for breast cancer. The individuals in this group want to be there for women, who are of the same age, and help get them through the difficult times. Those who have been diagnosed say that having the support of someone who has walked in their footsteps is often incredibly helpful. All of the women involved in this new program have been through a diagnosis.
The group's first meeting is March 6, 2012. On that day, 10 women will meet and gather ideas to get this program up and running. The group is very excited about it and can't wait to make a positive difference in the community.
Komen Tyler is currently providing $200,000 to programs in East Texas that provide screening mammograms and diagnostic services for over 3,000 women a year and an additional $46,500 in education programs. For more information on Komen Tyler, the young survivor program and our grant programs, please call (903) 561-6992, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

"This is the same car," we heard that several times. For starters, Toyota didn't have the GT-86 at all. Only Subaru and Scion had their much anticipated flat-4, RWD coupes on display. Both were definitely production models. One looked like it had certainly been driven a few times a short distance. Several of the folks in our group were kicking this around as our next cars. It's a very unique vehicle, 7,000rpm redline with 197hp and 151torks. Not to mention is an affordable RWD coupe, which is very rare in the non-gigantic segment (aka. 'not camaro, mustang, or challenger segment').
We did get a nice view inside both cars. They wouldn't let us sit in them, but we got close enough to see the differences. The Scion definitely looks a bit lower rent, the Subaru has the full alcantara and WRX STI treatment on the seats, shifter, and steering wheel. Both carry the same size 215 profile tires. Both have nearly equal sized brakes. The styling is very close. We definitely liked the blue of the BRZ a lot more than the silver Scion.
We also noticed a few other tidbits, like the different side emblems. The FR-S has the small GT-86 monikers on the side panels. The BRZ lacked this treatment. They really are slightly different cars. I'm not sure how Subaru will command more, even significantly more money, even with a nicer interior. We really liked the look of the BRZ shifter and gauge coloring, but that is all purely subjective stuff.
We definitely preferred the look of the Subaru from behind. It doesn't have those godawful altezza tails that the silver FR-S has. Again, we're not sure if this justifies the added price. Keep in mind that we don't know the pricing yet either. Both had plastic rear splitters.
Overall, we're really excited for this car. It very well could be the defining sports car of a generation. Most Japanese performance is stretching into the 30′s (Lancer Evo, 370Z, a later model s2000, etc). It's a hope a light, RWD car that is available for the low-20′s could even exist. This very well could be the Miata Coupe they never built, even if it does have the lineage of a wild mutt dog.

My best friend's sister made $19668 the prior week. she has been making cash on the laptop and got a $424600 house. All she did was get fortunate and set to work the directions explained on this site>>> "In Comment Header"
After exiting We Can Only Dream, Sergio Lanza, who plays the jobless fruit picker in the musical, leaned against the wall of a container to wipe the sweat streaming from his face. "Everything we do, everything that happens on this type of stage, we have to control — from the lighting to the movement and interactions with the audience," the exhausted actor said. "This is an intense theater experience for the public, but it is also somewhat cinematic for them as well."
Jesus Quintero, who wrote and directs Blue Jellyfish, agrees that the audience plays a pivotal role in the microtheater experience and that the nature of the productions draws the public into an actor's world.
"There is no fourth wall, so the actor is in direct communication with you and the piece becomes very organic, evolving in your mind and in your heart," Quintero says. "The work seduces and seduces you until a part of you is inside it. These actors will be performing the plays over a hundred times during the next month, and each time, the people and the environment will change. We offer audiences a unique journey that transports you to a whole other place."

One quickly apparent problem, though, is that the containers are located too close to each other. This is a hindrance because the walls are thin enough that actors' voices and play soundtracks often bleed through, causing distractions. CCE could have avoided this issue by simply placing the containers farther from one another in the expansive patio setting.
Also, during my experience, the ushers taking tickets and coordinating the audience groups were disorganized. Although each play runs no more than 15 minutes, you must realistically expect to wait at least a half-hour to amble from production to production. And if you plan to take in the works in a predetermined order, you might have to wait even longer. Last, remember to bring water, because the temperature inside the containers can be sweltering. This is Miami, after all, and the containers act like giant convection ovens.
Other than those quibbles, not only does this event make for a cheap date and a theater experience unlike any other, but also chances are that adventuresome types will clamor for more. Perhaps we can even look forward to CCE staging a porta-potty peephole monologue marathon in the near future.

Just found this site today and it's just what I'm looking for: A repository for all things CCW..including what appears to be an excellent resource for an outstanding marketplace of all things CCW.
I just moved to the free state of Montana from behind enemy lines (aka "Peoples' Republic of Kalifornia") where I was a regular at Calguns.net (the finest group of 2A enthusiasts I've ever known) where I was somewhat of a 2A activist (pushing the unloaded open carry movement, assisting the education of LEAs in my area on lawful procedures when approaching "man with gun" calls and proper CA legal AR/AK builds, and other things.
While in CA, I helped a Utah BCI certified trainer organize several CCW classes for my comrads in CA and got my own CCW there too. Now that I'm in a free state and can actually use my CCW, I've been carrying my M&P9 everywhere I go and I've been studying up on MT laws and such. It's going to be hard to pull the abundant CA Penal Code from my head and all the bass-ackwards legal mumbo jumbo the CA DOJ uses to confuse, lie, and disrupt lawful gun owners from thinking they have any such 2A rights. I'm happy to report the MT gun laws are quite simple and plain..for the most part..now i just have to see how the local constables react and make sure they too comply with the laws they are sworn to protect.
Anyway, a bit of an overshare. I hope to be a positive contributor here as I learn the ways of the wise and well-versed of DC.com. Otherwise, thanks Bumper for a superb forum!
Oh yeah..since I'm a fan of picture rich forums..here's my current carry set up.
Cheap-o "ace" bellyband (to see if bellybands are the way to go), and my MP9. I'm likely going to buy a G26 and a few 12rd mags (mostly to experience the "no-wait" freedom and to have "high cap" mags!!! Wheeeew hoo!)
