Stayed here with some friend, we had the Blue Room, they had the Chambre Des Amis. Both rooms were adorable and the townhouse we stayed in was super cute and cozy in both the shared and private spaces. The spa bath in both bathrooms was a nice touch! The tub was huge; great for a romantic bath for 2! Breakfast in the morning was tasty (featuring fresh baked blueberry scones!) and the staff was very friendly and courteous. Our friends got married that weekend and the staff surprised them with fresh baked cookies and fudge with a lovely congratulatory note: this was an great touch!!
Only bad thing was that we couldn't stay longer!!
We could not have picked a more perfect location to call our home away from home for our first honeymoon. The staff was lovely and welcoming, the room was fabulous, and the spa bath was relaxing. Thank you so much for making this moment unforgettable!
The friendly greeting The art, the comfort, the beautifully presented breakfasts, the helpful advice when asked for.
Can't think of anything...
Walking distance from A LOT of great restaurants. Parking was extremely convenient. Such a cute property.
Staff was very attentive and helpful The room was far more than we had expected Binder of information was super valuable during our stay.
Courteous, thoughtful and polite staff, delicious hot breakfasts with table service, abundant amenities, convenient location. Historic building(s) furnished with antiques.
Comfortable bed, incredibly helpful staff, great facilities, delicious breakfast. Felt like the owners had thought of everything.
Opportunity to do one's own cooking as well as having an excellent breakfast.
One had to be disciplined in the use of space in one's room,
- Very friendly service - Excellent breakfast (Early Bird bag-to-go) - Comfortable bed - Lovely atmosphere and little touches of luxury
- Room slightly on the small side - Many keys

Bed too small for 2 adults
It was a long walk but we did hoof it all the way to Wrigley Field for a Cubs Game.
I loved that House of two urns made me feel comfortable like I were at home. The area was convenient to a lot of stores and not too busy like downtown. Also the staff was very pleasant and comfortable.
There wasn't much to say I didn't like. The food wasn't the greatest but still good.
Breakfast was delicious, the hotel is eclectic and charming. There is a beautiful back patio and within close walking distance of public transit.
Easy to get in and out. Had a parking spot.
No hot water for the two days I stayed. Gave an excuse the plumber is Spanish. Im not sure what that means. Stayed for two days never cleaned the room or the bathroom.
The breakfast was not only delicious but gracefully presented also. A recommended stay!
Nice cute place; great breakfast; comfortable beds. If I needed to get anywhere via the Metra, the blue line is very close
couldn't get the Wi-Fi code to work; other reviews said it's close to quaint shopping - I wish I knew where!
Lovely house with very interesting artifacts. Good location.Very good breakfast.
I was put off by all the rules prior to our visit and the fact that no service was offered after 6.00pm,which was a shame because it offers good accommodation. The web site did not make it clear enough that our room was not en-suite and I did not realise it until after I had booked it. Our room was very small but I have no idea if others would have been larger.
Great location central to Wicker Park and many restaurants, shopping, and transportation. The Blue Line is a short walk away and the neighborhood is very nice and clean. It is very quiet during the evening and the breakfast was amazing. This will be our spot for accommodations upon visiting Chicago again in the future. Wonderful establishment....
There was nothing to dislike.
The warm and friendly hospitality of the staff, like Sara and Lucy; the proximity to public transport and other amenities; the excellent breakfast; and the quiet neighborhood. My room was cozy and had its own well-designed bathroom. The refrigerator was well-stocked and I could relax in the terrace or balcony. I wouldn't mind staying there next time around. There's a piano too in the main site across the street. A wonderful and memorable stay worth cherishing, indeed!
Great neighbourhood location perfect for sight seeing Very comfortable rooms - just like staying at someone's house
Wi-fi didn't work
friendly, clean, great breakfast, close to subway, quiet neighborhood, lots of information on what to do in chicago and where to eat in the polish triangle.
Cummunal breakfast where I met lots of different people and obtained lots of information
Nothing to dislike

Pheu Thai hits back at charter court

- Writer: Online Reporters
The Constitutional Court is not working for the people because it was installed by the Council for National Security (CNS), Pheu Thai Party leader and caretaker Interior Minister Charupong Ruangsuwan said on Sunday.
The Pheu Thai leader made the comment after the court on Friday issued a statement denying accusations by the government's Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (Capo) that the court would "rule beyond the constitution" to disqualify caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra who is accused of breaching the charter in her transfer of National Security Council (NSC) secretary-general Thawil Pliensri in 2011. The court accused Capo of speculating on the future and of making veiled threats, adding that the security agency was acting far beyond the scope of its authority.

The number of bulbs on a fixture is important for both style and function. The number of bulbs can alter the amount of light given off, but so can the wattage of your bulbs. Make sure to keep any width limitations in mind while selecting your fixture.

-CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year. -Fluorescent tubes are common in bath bars and come in many different styles such as the most common T4 and T5 bulbs. -Halogen: these bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light. -Incandescent or Fluorescent: We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration. -Xenon/Krypton: Much like their halogen counterparts are extremely bright bulbs with long lifespans that will use a Xenon or Krypton gas inside the bulb.

Does anyone know of a study regarding duration and amount of protection for hib and pneumococcal with exclusive breastfeeding, no formula and no solids? I have read in the past that breastfeeding is protective against hib for six months, but I can't seem to find much about pneumococcaland breastmilk protection. Thanks!
Protective Effect of Breastmilk on PC and Hib
Comments (9)
Check out www.thetruthergirls.com/Natural_Pro... I don't remember if the duration was listed in any of the summaries of the studies.
Welcome ts07404 :)
I am not sure that your link is a very good source. I prefer to go straight to Pubmed.
Reduced risk in 2 to 11 month olds www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10049984
Reduces risk in under 2 year olds www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7746694
age unspecified
Daycare attendance, older siblings, large household size and smoking in the household are the main risk factors.
There's this one: ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/26/2...
And this is only one of the only reasons why I think breastfeeding should be promoted more in our society.

This is one of the links from that not a "very good source."
Look, it's from pubmed!
Caroline 36, DH 51, DSS 24, DSS 14, DD 3
ATTC #2 and done: hypo, adrenal fatigue DH: low everything
NV, EBF, FT WOHM, GF. BBC has changed my life! :-)
Question: PC and Hib are the two our pedi is really pushing, and when I told her studies have suggested breastfed babies are at a lower risk, she pooh poohed it. Does anyone have a pedi who has done the same? Pedis who don't seem to be aware of studies?
Caroline 36, DH 51, DSS 24, DSS 14, DD 3
ATTC #2 and done: hypo, adrenal fatigue DH: low everything
NV, EBF, FT WOHM, GF. BBC has changed my life! :-)
Thank you everyone for the awesome links! Catherina, do you believe that a child could develop pneumococcal or hib "from within". That is to say, without another source of infection. Since most babies carry pc and hib naturally without developing invasive disease, is it possible that these organisms could become virulent and cause illness from the child alone - without "having caught it" from someone else? And there are some that feel that PC and hib balance one another, and that kids vacc. with hib are carrying more PC as a result of "knocking out competition". I will have to look for another link also I had read about kids developing natural immunity to pneumococcal in a specific pattern. There was a rise in certain serotypes being carried at specific ages in months, and a subsequent fall, thus children developed immunity naturally to all of the serotypes by 18 months.
Liney - we gave up trying to discuss vaccination with our doctor. He has been embarrased quite a few times when asked about what brands he uses, ingredients, side-effects, etc. He's very sweet, but little time is spent in med school discussing breastfeeding and dangers of vaccines. Over 15 years, we have never found a doc who knew more than we did about vaccines. We are just happy to find one that will see us with our "alternative schedule". We were threatened recently with Child Protective Services at the hospital for not vaccinating our newborn with Hep B, despite my willingness to have yet a THIRD blood test in pregnancy for hep b right there in the delivery room. It, or course, came back negative. Deplorable. Criminal. We have learned to quietly state our wishes, and go in for "shot only" appointments, to avoid the confrontation. Docs are taught that they are safe and effective. There is nothing to question in their opinion.
Interesting. But one thing I noticed is that nearly all these studies are more than a decade old. I wonder how the "risk" has changed now that Prevnar is in full use since 2002-2003. Also HIB was from 1999 I think? So these studies from the late 90's are looking at data pre-vaccine.
Both HIB and PCV7/13 have proven to be extremely effective, and I am curious what level of colonization even still exists?
The science of vaccines and disease management has changed so much in the last decade, that I always take a study over a decade old with a grain of salt...
"The truth is not a thing of fact or reason. It is simply what everyone agrees on."
There are so few hib cases left, that you cannot find much US and recent...
Momof6 you have read my mind concerning these two vaccines. I go back and forth on delaying these, particularly Prevnar. Thanks for the post!

"In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
— George Orwell
We live in an age — the relativity of truth — in which Orwell's adage seems as dated as monocles or top hats. Just as Darwin's theory of evolution led to Social Darwinism, a philosophy pitting one human being against another with survival of the fittest as the supreme law for success, so Einstein's theory of relativity changed popular philosophy and cultural mores as radically as it did the study of physics.
I was a weird kid growing up.
And, in many ways, I'm even weirder as an adult. Since day one, being weird is something I embrace. I'm proud of it, even though I don't give it much thought, because I think being weird is normal, and being normal is, well, boring.

Assured Guaranty Ltd. Reports Results For Second Quarter 2012
Assured Guaranty Ltd. (NYSE:AGO) ("AGL" and, together with its subsidiaries, "Assured Guaranty" or the "Company") announced today its financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 ("second quarter 2012"). The Company reported operating income for second quarter 2012 of $114.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, bringing year-to-date operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 ("six months 2012") to $185.2 million, or $0.99 per diluted share. This compares with operating income of $143.4 million, or $0.76 per diluted share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 ("second quarter 2011") and $390.8 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 ("six months 2011"). Second quarter 2012 net income of $376.5 million, or $2.01 per share, includes non-economic net fair value gains 1 of $263.6 million. Second quarter 2011 net loss of $43.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, includes non-economic net fair value losses of $187.5 million. Six months 2012 net loss of $106.5 million, or $0.58 per share, includes non-economic net fair value losses of $296.4 million. Six months 2011 net income of $96.2 million, or $0.51 per share, includes non-economic net fair value losses of $306.7 million.
Interest rates, which were already at historically low levels, declined further in second quarter 2012, which resulted in a net increase in expected losses, that does not represent additional credit impairment, but rather a change in the risk-free rates used to discount losses. See "Economic Loss Development." The low interest rate environment also encouraged higher refundings of U.S. public finance insured obligations as issuers refinanced their obligations at more attractive rates, resulting in the acceleration of premium earnings. See "Second Quarter 2012 Operating Income Highlights."
"Our positive second-quarter results reflect our strategic versatility and the strength of Assured Guaranty's business model," said Dominic Frederico, President and CEO. "In U.S. public finance, we continued to honor our value proposition by providing protection to holders of insured bonds, including those of distressed municipalities such as Harrisburg, Jefferson County and Stockton."

While some people treat technical TI feeds as ready-made NIPS signatures, the reality of effective usage of threat intelligence feeds and reports for security is much more nuanced.
In this post, I will present a quick summary of discovered threat intelligence use cases, that apply to both strategic and tactical TI. Admittedly, I am saving the juicy details for my research paper, but I hope that these summaries will serve to both educate and start the discussion.
Type of use case | Strategic TI | Tactical TI |
Planning | Security architecture and monitoring planning based on long-term threats and relevant actor capabilities | Study historical trends across TI feeds and environment match history (maybe???) |
Prevention | Better align security spending and attention based on attacker targeting; prevent attacks predicted by TI sources (HUMINT) | Block bad IPs, URLs, domains, emails, files, etc; the staple usage of blacklists and high-fidelity TI feeds |
Detection | Look harder for intrusion evidence in places of "known interest" to attackers; review reports on threat actor tools to find ways to better detect them | Use TI feeds to create NIDS sigs, NFT, SIEM and ETDR alerting rules; detect internal systems communicating with "known bads" |
Triage | "APT or commodity threat?" decision; a key decision that defines how subsequent IR process will go | Use TI feeds as context for enriching alerts and other monitoring data; link alerts together into incidents; automated triage by escalating alerts linked to "known bads" |
Incident response | Better understand the business impact by relating incident artifacts to threat actor profiles; practical incident attribution | Finding a full scope of an incident by linking local observables to TI; "pulling the thread" to find all compromised assets and all attacker traces |
Threat assessment | Assess overall threat level for your organization; report to management, board, etc | Assess the risk of customers connecting to your IT resources based on TI feeds; fraud risk assessment |
TI fusion – making better TI out of TI | Increase value of TI feeds by validating, correlating, enriching context, tying to local observations and attribution; enrich tactical TI by linking to strategic TI | Increase value of TI feeds by validating, correlating, enriching context, tying to local observations and attribution; enrich strategic TI by linking to indicators and internal TI |
Note that I rolled "prediction" into prevention using strategic TI; if you think that prediction is a separate use case, just comment. At this point, true prediction (such as what is done by HUMINT and attacker sentiment analysis) is fairly rare.
P.S. By the way, are some of you wondering why I don't call this domain "cyber threat intelligence" (CTI)? Even though I no longer assume that "c" in "cyber" stands for "clown", frankly, I don't see the need to "cyber it up." Hopefully, the discussion on definitions and types of TI makes it pretty clear that we are in the "cyber" domain here and not in gardening or something….

Residents are cordially invited to attend our fourth and final Open House before Voting Day. For the past several years, the Library Board of Trustees & staff have been working diligently to plan for the future of our community's library. Meet the architect who took a list of needs from the staff, trustees and community focus groups and designed a structure and floor plans within our guidelines; get a behind the scenes tour of the current building with our Facilities Manager; and most importantly, ask whatever questions that may be on your minds about the current building and future of the most heavily used town facility outside of our schools.
Due to the many snow days we have had on Mondays we will be talking about two books during this session: Spiderwick Chronicles: The Field Guide and Word After Word After Word.
This program is for students in Grades 2 & 3 only. In ordeer to plan snacks and other materials I do require you to register for this program. If s/he cannot attend this month, or at any other time, extra copies of out books can be found in the J Fic section of our library which is located just outside of the Children's Room.

EVERY VOTE COUNTS and since this is a bonded warrant article, it must receive a 60% majority. If you want to see this project happen, it's imperative that you make the time to cast your vote.
If you are not yet registered to vote, don't worry: you can register at the polls. Just make sure to bring a valid photo ID and if it doesn't have your current Milford address on it, make sure to bring something that does (example: a piece of mail addressed to you).
Voting location: Milford Middle School, 33 Osgood Road. Polls are open 6AM-8PM.
For more information about the building project, see http://www.wadleighlibrary.org/building
It was 20 years ago when the Library Board of Trustees first submitted a library expansion proposal to the town's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Committee. The CIP has scheduled a library project for funding 14 different times and for various reasons, 14 different times it has been postponed. The original building is 65 years old; the addition, nearly 30 years old. The facility is rapidly deteriorating and has increasingly expensive repair and maintenance costs. It is the most heavily used building outside of the schools and yet it fails to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and is 57% smaller than the average NH public library (square feet per capita). Trustees have worked hard to come up with the most cost-effective solution to meet ever more pressing needs identified in community surveys, focus groups, a strategic planning process and a space needs analysis. Highlights include expanded Children's and Teen Departments; small, quiet study rooms; a larger, flexible meeting room space with after-hours use; a technology/business center; and greatly expanded parking. This design also provides a facility which is vastly more efficient to operate, staff, secure and maintain for years to come. It calls for an 8100 square foot addition and a rebuild of the current structure to be completed in three phases. The library would remain open throughout construction. Every year that passes, the cost increases. The rate of inflation for construction is estimated to be 3%; in other words, this project will cost approximately $160,000 more if postponed to 2016. The cost has been reduced by $500,000 in Library Trustee expenditures towards the project over the last several years; purchases include adjacent properties, furnishings, razing/landscaping, architectural and consultant services. The total project cost is offset by a $500,000 gift from the Morris K. Webster Trust Fund.
The Library Board of Trustees supports this article 7-0.

Off The Cuff has been delighting audiences across southern New Hampshire and sorrounding areas for over a decade. Incorporating elements of jazz, swing, blues, bluegrass, rock, folk and world music styles, Off The Cuff infuses its own special blend of vocal and instrumental harmony into every song to reinvent it as something new and personal. Once this is done, the song is "Cuffed" – given that Off The Cuff touch.
Audiences love this music! Whether an original tune or an old standard, a pop tune or a nugget by some little known songwriter, the music touches a familiar chord in everyone, whether they grew up dancing to the big bands or to rock bands. It is music that each generation has managed to share; a part of the American musical soul. The music is upbeat, energetic and fun, and The Cuffers have a great time playing and interacting with the audience.
In October, 2008 Off The Cuff released its first CD, "Cuffed… At Last!" Recorded live at the Caleidh House in Westmoreland, NH, the CD contains 14 songs covering a broad range of styles that highlight the diversity and variety of an Off The Cuff performance.

Dan Szczesny is a long-time journalist and author living in New Hampshire.
The Adventures of Buffalo and Tough Cookie is an exploration of one of New Hampshire's least known mountain lists, the 52 With a View. It's a hiking story unlike any other, as Dan takes on the task of turning a determined, urban elementary child into an experienced back-woods hiker, and in the process finds that sometimes the most important lessons are the one's that she teaches him.
Through snow, storms, slugs and long miles over the state's beautiful and challenging terrain, The Adventures of Buffalo and Tough Cookie is a journey and meditation on the transformative power of friendship, commitment and the meaning of family.

Industry support for the PTDA Foundation's signature project, the Industrial Careers Pathway (ICP), reached record heights in 2014, surpassing all expectations with a final total of nearly $310,000. This was more than 50 per cent higher than the funds raised in 2013, demonstrating an increasing commitment from the industry in reaching the future industrial distribution workforce. According to Brian Short, 2014 PTDA Foundation Fund Drive Chair (NSK Americas, Ann Arbor, Mich.), "We started off the year with a three-year commitment from the Harold C. Schott Foundation, and it just ramped up from there. Industrial distributors and the manufacturers they support clearly recognize the challenge in attracting the right people to the incredibly rewarding careers in industrial distribution. This funding is being put to use immediately in getting those right-fit employees to recognize the wonderful opportunities industrial distribution provides." The momentum continues. The 2015 fund drive kicked off in October at PTDA's 2014 Industry Summit. The Vanguard campaign, recognizing those who pledge to the 2015 Fund Drive before year-end 2014, is off to a record start. Even before the end of the Industry Summit, the Vanguard campaign had received pledges in excess of $57,000. Vanguard contributors enjoy a few special perks due to their early contribution, including immediate inclusion on the ICP website at www.industrialcareerspathway.org/Support. "The early contributors help set the tone for the fund drive, allowing ICP to make aggressive plans in 2015 for reaching our target audience of 16-34 year olds with a knack for applied technology," said Short, who has held the role of Fund Drive chair since 2012. Fund Drive Highlights: • Contributors included 154 companies from within the power transmission/motion control industry—an increase of 32 per cent. • Twenty-two contributors increased their contributions in 2013 over 2014. • There were 69 new contributors in 2014—a 331 per cent increase! About Industrial Careers Pathway (ICP)The Foundation's core initiative, the Industrial Careers Pathway, is a multifaceted North American workforce initiative. Addressing the need for a skilled industrial distribution, manufacturing sales and customer service workforce for today and tomorrow, ICP links students and job seekers through partnerships with local educators and employers. Through the collective support of Alliance Partners and their member companies, ICP is devoted to building awareness among the 16-34 year old audience about the incredibly rewarding careers available in industrial distribution.For more information, visit www.industrialcareerspathway.org.

Risks come in a variety of forms and sizes and many cannot be eliminated. Physical assets used in production or the delivery of a service or product can all fail to do their jobs. Failures can result in safety, environmental, quality loss and public image hazards. Management strategies for risks also come in a variety of forms and levels of effectiveness. This webinar puts risk in a broader "asset management" context as outlined in the new international standards for Asset Management. It will explain what risk is, what to consider, when to consider them, what risk management actions can be considered and how well they will protect you and your company.
Maintenance and asset management disciplines are dominated by highly trained and often very experienced engineering and technical people. There is a saying that to engineers, change is an event but for everyone else, it is a process. Many changes to physical assets will impact how people work.
Sean Miller is an ultrasound expert whose Partners in Training presentation is suitably named "Ultrasound 101: To Improve Asset Reliability." Miller will again present this highly effective, practical session at the upcoming Partners in Training in Sudbury in the fall.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – The Justice Studies Association will hold its 13th conference, "Unlocking the Prisons of our Lives" from June 9-11 on the Sugarloaf campus. More information on the conference can be found at http://www.justicestudies.org/
This national interdisciplinary conference focuses on understanding prison – as constraints imposed on youth, immigrants, minorities, convicted offenders, crime victims, nonhuman animals, environments, ourselves and our ways of thinking. The conference will feature research, experiences, activism, teaching, and reflections on the "prisons" that impede justice and the "unlocking" that might restore people and communities. During the conference, the Justice Studies Association will also award the 2011 JSA Social Activist award to Lori Pompa, founder and director of the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, and the 2011 JSA Noam Chomsky award to Kathy Kelly, pacifist and co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence. 2011 Social Activist award winner Lori Pompa is on the faculty of the Department of Criminal Justice at Temple University, and is the founder and director of the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program. Established in 1997, Inside-Out creates opportunities for dialogue between those outside and those inside of our nation's correctional facilities. Since the program's inception, Pompa has brought in excess of 10,000 students into state prisons and county jails and trained over100 hundred professors across 90 colleges and 33 states to participate in Inside-Out. The result of the program is that students learn from each other about such topics as Dostoevsky and economics, they also learn from each other in a way that cannot be created in a formal university setting. 2011 Chomsky award winner Kathy Kelly is the co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Non-violence (VCR) which is continuing the mission of its predecessor organization, Voices in the Wilderness, a peace group that highlighted the suffering of Iraqi civilians during the U.N. imposed economic sanctions in the 1990's. In recent years, VCR has led four delegations to Afghanistan and two to Pakistan to listen and learn from nonviolent grassroots movements and to raise awareness about the negative impacts of U.S. militarism in the region. Kelly has been arrested more than 60 times at home and abroad for her tireless dedication to peace and social justice. Nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in Peace and a member of the Catholic Worker Movement, her life is dedicated to peace and simplicity. For more information about the conference, please visit http://justicestudies.org
