Security concerns abound at U.S. companies
Blog Entry:
April 19, 2013 11:05 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A quick-hit edition:
This story
offers a fascinating look at the security concerns of U.S. companies, including the
Cleveland Browns
The Wall Street Journal
Big companies and wealthy individuals normally don't discuss the threats they receive, preferring to keep their security concerns private.
But hundreds of companies and prominent citizens have sent just such information to the federal government, some detailing their biggest security worries. The reported dangers range from chilling to seemingly trivial: al Qaeda terrorists; animal-rights extremists; deranged stalkers; depressed gamblers; gas-price malcontents and aggressive autograph-seekers.
The threat information was contained in letters sent in 2011 to the Federal Aviation Administration but not made public until now. The letter-writers were stirred to action by a since-shelved FAA plan to allow the public to have greater real-time access to the flight paths of private aircraft.
Among the letter writers were the Browns.
The team "sent a five-page submission, written by a former director of the U.S. Secret Service, that began with a history of security concerns related to the late Al Lerner, a businessman who bought the revived Cleveland franchise in 1998 and who, according to the letter, held 'Top Secret' security clearance during the George W. Bush administration," according to the story.
Mr. Lerner died almost nine years before the letter was written.
The Journal
notes his son, Randy Lerner, who owned the team until last year and still owns Britain's Aston Villa soccer club, also had been subjected to stalking and threats, according to the letter, which blamed fans who were "fanatics" or "disgruntled."
A quick summary hardly does justice to
Wall Street Journal
about Tim Kirby, an expatriate from the Cleveland suburbs who says he wants Russian citizenship and says Joseph Stalin was a better leader than he has been portrayed in history books.
"On radio shows on Moscow's state-controlled Radio Mayak and in frequent appearances on state television, Mr. Kirby is making a name for himself inside Russia as a kind of Kremlin-appointed Joe the Plumber who explains a broken America to Russian listeners,"
The Journal
As the Kremlin rallied support for its ban on U.S. adoptions of Russian orphans imposed late last year, Mr. Kirby, 31, "appeared on prime-time talk shows to say that one quarter of American children take pills that affect their brains, and that they are endangered by religious sects whose members oppose medical care or dance around poisonous snakes," according to the newspaper.
Mr. Kirby's career is flowering as the Kremlin "ramps up a campaign against U.S. influence in Russia, warning that Western-paid agents are trying to undermine the country's stability under the guise of civic action and human rights campaigns,"
The Journal
He grew up "in a rundown suburb of Cleveland" — the story doesn't identify it — and he tells
The Journal
that his upbringing as a white minority in his neighborhood left him "uncomfortable" in polite society and hostile to authority. He joined the Peace Corps after college, was sent to the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan and ended up in Moscow in 2007.
Thinking of buying a franchise? There's a lot to think about, according to
this MarketWatch.com story
, which features comments from Joel Libava, a franchise adviser and owner of
in Cleveland.
"Franchising "can be a great thing as long as people are realistic. I'm always cautioning folks not to fall into the franchise industry Kool-Aid," Mr. Libava says.
"Some people have the illusion — because of buzzwords like 'turnkey' and 'business in a box' — that they turn the key and the franchise has everything set up and the money comes in," he adds. "It doesn't work like that. You've got to really work hard."
The piece then lists 11 mistakes for prospective franchisees to avoid. Among them: Don't misunderstand the rules.
For instance, if you're entrepreneurial by temperament, a franchise probably is not for you.
The best candidate, Mr. Libava said, is someone "who has been in corporate America for a long time and is used to rules — they tend to do a lot better than people who are entrepreneurial."
Businessweek.com runs a
from Cleveland resident Peter Rebar in response to a
that argued Margaret Thatcher did not solve many of Britain's most serious problems.
"At most, (Thatcherism) only slowed down Britain's ongoing decline as it drifts further toward socialism and an overreliance on finance and government-sector jobs," Mr. Rebar writes.
"Although Thatcher had some good ideas, she did not realize that her unconditional support of free trade in the 1980s would eventually lead to a global economy consisting of state-owned enterprises from low-cost countries pursuing mercantilist trade policies," he adds. "The result is Britain's deindustrialization."
looks like
there finally will be a movie adaptation of
an acclaimed graphic novel about a series of killings in Cleveland in the 1930s.
The Hollywood Reporter
says filmmaker David Lowery, whose
"Ain't Them Bodies Saints"
earned good reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, has come aboard to write and direct an adaption of "Torso."
Hollywood "has tried for more than a decade to get its hooks" into "Torso," the newspaper says of the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis and Marc Andreyko. At one point, David Fincher hoped to adapt "Torso" as a follow-up to "Zodiac."
"Torso" is based on a time in Elliot Ness' career (after his Al Capone days) when he moved to Cleveland and "got embroiled in the hunt of a serial killer who was leaving torsos in the river and taunting notes to police," the newspaper notes.
There's no word on whether the movie might be shot in Cleveland.
Cleveland Indians
fans are among the least-engaged with their team in Major League Baseball, according to
this Forbes.com story
based on data compiled by
The TicketCity algorithm incorporates attendance, median ticket price, ticket demand and social media to come up with an engagement score. The most engaged fan base is the San Francisco Giants — not hard, when you win the World Series — and the least engaged, no surprise, is the Miami Marlins.
The Indians are ranked 26th in MLB. Only the Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox are less compelling to their fans.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Extremely Pleased
Graduation Celebration Graduation Announcement Magnets We opted to purchase these magnets instead of traditional high school graduation announcements and we are extremely pleased that we did! They are very high quality and clarity. They are a big hit!
Graduation Celebration Graduation Announcement Magnets Put together 2 prototypes to choose from. Easy to put together and loved getting the individual prototypes to choose from. Ordering the final was easy and received them back quickly. Ordered envelopes with return address to expedite the process when I received them. Going out in the mail today!
Magnet Invitation
Graduation Celebration Graduation Announcement Magnets I am happy with the quality of this item. The picures and printing are very clear. The magnet is not too thin and stays on the surface you put it on. The only problem I had was that my order somehow got stuck in the pre printing phase. Luckily I noticed it and called. Not sure what would have happened to it otherwise. The customer service rep I spoke to (during regular business hours) gave me upgraded shipping at their expense so I still ended up receiving my order on time.
Very happy with graduation magnet

If you've decided to breast-feed your multiples, congratulations! Breast-feeding will provide many benefits for you and your babies. Still, breast-feeding twins or other multiples can be challenging. Understand how to get started and where to turn for support.
Breast milk contains the right balance of nutrients for your babies. The antibodies in breast milk will boost your babies' immune systems. Breast milk also has special benefits for babies who are born prematurely, as are many twins and higher order multiples. Breast milk is easier to digest than is commercial infant formula — especially for premature babies who have smaller, less mature stomachs and intestines. If your babies aren't able to nurse at first, you can pump breast milk to be given to your babies through a feeding tube.
Beyond the health benefits for your newborns, breast-feeding is likely the most convenient and least expensive way to feed your babies — and it might help you lose weight after you give birth. Breast-feeding twins or other multiples also ensures frequent interaction between you and each of your babies.
When you start breast-feeding your twins or higher order multiples, feed each baby individually. This will give you a chance to see how well each baby latches on to your breast and address any potential issues. Consider creating a 24-hour chart to record how long and how often each baby nurses, as well as the number of wet and soiled diapers for each baby. If you feed your babies pumped breast milk, you can also record how much they take at each feeding.
Once you've established breast-feeding with each baby, how you breast-feed is up to you and your babies. Some mothers find that breast-feeding two babies at once works well and saves time. Others prefer to breast-feed each baby separately. Likewise, some babies might show a preference for individual feedings. Try different approaches or a combination — such as breast-feeding one baby at a time at night and two at the same time during the day — to see what might work best for you and your babies.
There are many ways to breast-feed two babies at the same time. What's most important is choosing a position that feels comfortable to you and your babies.
For example:
At first, you might want or need help positioning your babies. Enlist someone to help you get situated until you get the hang of simultaneous feedings.

Rochester woman celebrates 100th birthday with five generations
Monday, March 25, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — In her century-long life, Dorothy Betts said the biggest lesson has been the importance of helping people.
During the Great Depression while Robert Francis Jr. was one year old, both of Betts' parents tragically died, and Betts, then 21 years old, began taking care of her brother, one of her eight siblings, who was eight years old at the time.
During Saturday's birthday celebration, Betts reflected on the importance of helping others. She said that other people have helped her after the death of her parents, and she has been doing the same throughout her life, as well.
Spending time at Betts' home often involved picking blueberries, and grandma making pancakes. Register said her grandmother plays the organ beautifully, and has always had a "bubbly, loving" personality, with a love for finances and baseball.
Indeed, Betts said that all of her life has been dedicated to family.
"We always stick together," she said.
Asked about the secret of living a long life, Betts said, "I just eat right and live right."
After Betts' birthday celebration on Saturday, Betts will also be honored at Studley Home in Rochester on Wednesday, her official birthday.

Destitute Pea Pickers in California
Click on image to enlarge
The photograph that has become known as "Migrant Mother" is one of a series of photographs that Dorothea Lange made in February or March of 1936 in Nipomo, California. In 1960, Lange gave this account of the experience:
"I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it." (From: Popular Photography, Feb. 1960).

SPIN's 50 Best Albums of 2011
Everywhere you looked this year there was an absurd or chaotic or turbulent situation that made absolutely no sense whatsoever — people all over the world seemed so fed up that they were willing to make shit up on their own, on the spot, damn the consequences. And here at home, who knew what to make of the pop-culture universe — how were musical provocateurs like Kanye West or Lady Gaga supposed to shock anybody when a craven disgraced troll like Newt Gingrich was getting away with posing like a distinguished statesman? Music has been scrambling to keep up with the delirious whir and whoosh of society and technology for several years, and in 2011, there were finally a substantial number of artists, mostly stalking the margins, who fired off album-length field reports on the fucked-upness afoot. From the Weeknd and Frank Ocean in R&B to Danny Brown and G-Side in hip-hop to Liturgy and Yob in metal to Eric Church and Hayes Carll in country to Girls and Kurt Vile in indie rock to PJ Harvey and Wild Flag and EMA in bare-bones rock, there were plenty of skewed truths to be found. And nowhere moreso than in our Album of the Year, a towering epic that made very little literal sense yet spoke meaningful volumes. Similarly, after reading this list you may feel like Alice in Wonderland after she read the poem "Jabberwocky": "Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas — only I don't exactly know what they are! However, somebody killed something: that's clear, at any rate." Onward to 2012, the Mayan cataclysm awaits! CHARLES AARON

WHERE: Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) HQ, Room B
525 23rd St. NW, Washington, DC (Corner 23rd St. & Virginia Ave)
WHO: Organized by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), in coordination with the Pan American Health and Education Foundation (PAHEF) and the George Washington University Center for Global Health (CGH). According to the agenda order, speakers will be:
Dr. Marcos Espinal, Manager, Health Surveillance and Disease Prevention and Control
Dr. Mirta Roses Periago, Director, PAHO
Dr. Socorro Gross, Assistant Director, PAHO
Dr. Don Tharpe, PAHEF President

HOW: Participants can pre-register through RSVP for Malaria Day. You can also participate via online through: http://www.livestream.com/paho
CONTEXT: Each year some 250 million people around the world suffer from malaria, and about 655,000 die from the disease. In the Americas, almost 23 million people live in areas at risk for malaria, although cases declined 59 percent and malaria deaths declined 70 percent between 2000 and 2011. The forum will allow discussion on key factors to keep these achievements, such as the expansion of diagnostic testing, anti-malarial treatment coverage and surveillance. Through the T3 initiative (Test. Treat. Track.), PAHO and WHO calls the attention of endemic countries on the need to strengthen investment in diagnostic testing, treatment and surveillance capacity, coverage and infrastructure. All stakeholders, including international philanthropic organizations and development agencies are enjoined to strengthen investments in these efforts to enable elimination of malaria in areas deemed feasible in the Region of the Americas.
The Malaria Champions of the Americas Award is an initiative of PAHO/WHO, PAHEF, and CGH that seeks to identify, celebrate, and provide avenues to emulate best practices and success stories in malaria prevention and control.

Medium Profile, Super High Tack Dot Shot Pro Glue Dot Rolls
Product Description
What is a Glue Dot Profile?
Glue Dot Usage Tip: Glue Dots are a popular item for nearly all applications where it is necessary to attached two items together.
Why Buy Glue Dots? Glue Dots are most commonly used as a replacement for hot glue adhesives, such as "booger glue". Booger Glue leaves paper and other light substrates with a wet stain after being removed. The intense heat as the glue is applied can morph the substrate, creating unattractive waves and dents. Switching to Glue Dots will eliminate these problems. Another advantage to glue dots is that they do not need heat to be applied, eliminating the need for a hot glue gun. While dispensers for Glue Dots are available, they are not required for use.
Custom Options available!

John Fogerty & Bonnie Ratt Sit In With The Rolling Stones
Friday, May 10, 2013
John Fogerty and Bonnie Raitt guested at the Rolling Stones' Wednesday night (May 8th) show at San Jose, California's HP Pavilion. Fogerty, who was playing on his hometown turf, added a little bit of guts to the Stones' set as he traded off with Mick Jagger on the Stones' 1964 hit cover of the Valentino's "It's All Over Now." Bonnie Raitt sat in with the band as they tackled 1969's "Let It Bleed" -- and for the first time in all of the band's 50 & Counting shows, Mick Taylor performed twice in the show, guesting on his now customary "Midnight Rambler" and returning for the final encore -- "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."
We caught up with Mick Taylor, who confounded everyone in the rock world when he walked away from the Stones in December 1974. We asked Taylor if all these years later he regrets leaving the band: "Well, I am still with the band, albeit as a special guest. And, y'know, to be honest with you, because of what I'm doing now, it's sort of cleansed my brains of any regret. I just. . . I'm just enjoying the moment, really."
The Rolling Stones tour dates (subject to change):
May 11 - Las Vegas, NV - MGM Grand Garden Arena
May 15, 18 - Anaheim, CA - Honda Center
May 20 - Los Angeles - Staples Center
May 25 - Toronto, ON - Air Canada Centre
May 28, 31 - Chicago, IL - United Center
June 3 - Chicago, IL - United Center
June 6 - Toronto, ON - Air Canada Centre
June 9 - Montreal, QC - Bell Centre
June 12, 14 - Boston, MA - TD North Garden
June 14 - Boston, MA - TD North Garden
June 18, 21 - Philadelphia, PA - Wells Fargo Center

Simply a gorgeous car.
I'd take one in the classic blue w/ the white racing stripes -
but this red one is pretty nice as well.
Why you wouldnt (buy an Optima SX):
Because you have your eyes on the Frigidaire Limited Edition Camry that you saw last weekend at the neighborhood Autoplex.

GT40s are 100 times better looking than GTs.. 100.
I absolutely love the Gulf racing GT40's. It's just a great color combo for that car.

The classic, spill-proof CamelBak eddy™ bottle, designed specially for littler hands. The simplified straw is easy for kids to use, and the size makes it ideal for packing in bags and lunchboxes. All the parts are easy to remove for cleaning and child safe.
Just the Right Bite: Combining the patented CamelBak Big Bite™ Valve with a stem tube and shut-off valve, this detachable one-piece component is simple for kids to use and simple for parents to clean.
Never Spill: Easy for small fingers to operate.
Safe and Easy: Simplified stem and straw are child-safe yet easy to remove for cleaning. All parts are dishwasher safe.
Not for children under 3 years.
Stain-resistant and taste-free Tritan™ is 100% Free of BPA and BPS. Kid-sized, fun and easy to clean, this bottle is ready for any adventure.
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
We can't offer up the bottle cleaning equivalent to the five-second rule, you just gotta do it. It won't take long, and your kids will be eternally grateful. We recommend first removing your one-piece bite valve and straw for cleaning. It's easy to do. (Yes, it looks like a lot of steps here, but it really is easy):
If you use a dishwasher, a top-rack basket for small parts is ideal, and it's good to avoid high-heat settings like 'sanitary clean' or 'heat boost' which may distort plastic components. If you clean by hand, use warm, soapy water. If you like to use a bottle brush, make sure it doesn't have exposed metal edges that could cut the silicone, then insert the brush into the open end at the base of the valve. We don't recommend forcing a brush of any kind through the Big Bite Valve slit (where you drink from) as this could damage the sealing surfaces of the Big Bite Valve.
To re-insert the bite valve back into the cap:
How do I put the Big Bite™ Valve back in the cap?
Follow these instructions to re-insert the Big Bite™ Valve component:
Can I use a bottle brush on the Big Bite™ Valve?
Yes. The Big Bite™ Valve is made from tough silicone material that can be cleaned with a bottle brush similar to those designed for baby bottle nipples. Make sure the brush doesn't have exposed metal edges that could cut the silicone. Then insert the brush into the open end at the base of the valve. We don't recommend forcing a brush of any kind through the Big Bite™ Valve slit (where you drink from) as this could damage the sealing surfaces of the Big Bite™ Valve.
How is the eddy™ Kids Bottle cap different from the regular CamelBak eddy™ cap?
The eddy™ Kids Bottle and eddy™ both feature the easy-to-use, spill-proof Big Bite™ Valve technology, a convenient straw-feed format, and flip-close-to-shutoff stem configuration. The eddy™ Kids Bottle cap, however, features a Kids'-specific Big Bite™ Valve and stem design made from a single piece of medical grade silicone. This one-piece construction prevents a child from pulling the bite valve off accidentally, but makes it easy for a parent to remove and place in the dishwasher for cleaning.
Can I use carbonated beverages?
We do not recommend the use of carbonated beverages in the CamelBak™ Kids' Bottle. Because of the spill-proof sealed construction of the bottle, carbonated beverages can cause pressure build-up that while not dangerous, can result in an experience like opening a shaken-up can of soda. To use with carbonated beverages, we recommend that you remove the straw and drink using the "tip and sip" method like an ordinary sippy cup.
Can I freeze the bottle?
You can freeze the bottle but make sure:
We also recommend that the bite valve stem NOT be flipped up or down if there is any frozen water in the tube. Wait until thawed.
Can I use the CamelBak™ eddy™ Kids Bottle in high-altitude/ low-pressure environments? (i.e. airplanes, mountain altitudes, etc)
Yes, but with extra care because pressure can force liquid out throuth the straw. Always keep the bottle right side up and the bite valve in the closed position. Remove the straw for additional protection. Expect a bit of "spurt" during the first sip.

We are a family of 6, We bought our first kid one for our oldest daughter for when she went to dance we loved them so much all 4 of our kids (2girls 2boys) have 3 each so we own almost every design. I absolutly love them, they don't leak and are easy enough that our youngest learned to drink out of them at 6 months when she could crawl and get to her siblings. If they push the valve down it can come loose and leak but we have only had this happen once. We also only put water in theirs because they love to use them and then I know they are getting a fair share of water and not drinking junk all day long. Camelbak Keep up the great cups we Love Them!!

I bought this water bottle for my 3 year old and there are a few design flaws I wish Camelbak could fix. One is that water collects in the spout and has the tendency to spurt out from time to time. The collected water will also leak out of the spout slowly creating a puddle around wherever it is sitting. Also, it doesn't fit in the cup holders of my child's carseat, or in the cup holders on the back doors of my vehicle. It's quite annoying as my child will put it in the cup holders then not be able to get it out, creating a lot of drama while I'm driving. Other than that it's a fairly sturdy bottle and I like that the straw is wide and doesn't slip between the grid of the dishwasher's cutlery holder. Still, the other issues have made it so we only use it when all the other water bottles are dirty.

Fun Spill-proof bottle for kids
By Dylan's Mom
from La Crosse, Wisconsin
Comments about CamelBak eddy™ Kids .4L:
I have two young boys and they love these. They are small enough to be easy to pack but hold enough fluid for kids. My only issue is that when you fly with them, the pressure makes the water squirt out and leak in your bag.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

NOT Leak Proof
By Cass
from Columbia, MO
It's almost as if liquid is pushed up and out of the mouthpiece. It doesn't even tip over and there is ALWAYS a huge puddle underneath the cup. Hate it. Never buying one again.
By frustratedmother
from montrose, mi
I don't understand how no one can manage to actually make a SPILL PROOF bottle/sippy/whatever you want to call them. AND they CLAIM to be spill proof, which just makes me more infuriated! This bottle spills every single time it's tipped over, even if the straw is not pushed down. The water comes out of the straw and I've even had it come from the side of the bottle where the lid screws on and yes it was screwed on tight! Ridiculous. Wish someone could make a legitimately good product once in a while. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
CamelBak thinks of the Kids too!
By joshonabike
from Chino Hills, CA
We love CamelBak Products and we're stoked to find that they made bottles for our kids. Our son is about to start 2nd grade and our youngest daughter is about to start kindergarten. Now the whole family can enjoy CamelBak!I was super stoked to find out that CamelBak included a well thought out valve for our kids like they have with their Podium Chill bottles. It's CamelBak's thoughtful design with their valve technology that has made them our favorite bottle brand. Thanks CamelBak!Here's why you should consider these bottles for your kids. The valve allows the kids to get a mouthful of water or juice without having send straws with them in their lunch box (straws prevent tooth decay…look it up). We can confidently pack the Eddy bottle without fear of it leaking in his Darth Vader lunch bag/box. This is a HUGE plus and the reason we started looking for a new bottle for our son. The previous bottle we were using leaked and ruined his first Darth Vader Lunch Bag/Box.If CamelBak could just add their Chill technology to the Eddy bottles, they would be perfect!PROS:+ The bottle plastic does not get dingy or become faded and gray+ Easy to handwash+ Spill proof is an accurate claim+ The valve comes off making it easy to clean+ BPA Free makes my heart happy+ Colorful graphics are cool looking and the kids dig emCONS:- The printed graphics on the bottle wear off after many washes in dishwasherTips:+ I suggest handwashing these bottles to prevent the printed graphics from wearing off
Mouth piece pushes in easily:be careful
By Courtney
from Newport News, VA
Our 18 month old daughter manages to push the rubber mouthpiece in nearly every time she drinks, thereby causing it to pour water on the floor when tipped over. I know she's considered young based on the age recommendation, but I think it's a poor design. We like Camel Bak products so will be buying a "grownup" top and replacing her top with it. I don't understand why they decided to alter the design for kids!
Best sippy cup ever
By JeannePecan
from Triangle, NC
While babysitting my two year old niece last month, I discovered MY big-kid Camelbak Eddy was without a doubt the greatest sippy cup alternative ever. No spilling or leaking (unless she pushed on the straw valve) and best of all, no backwash. You know what I mean. Mouth full of food and now I MUST HAVE A SIP OF YOUR SWEET TEA NO I WILL NOT SWALLOW FIRST! Not wanting to sacrifice my Eddy to the greater good, we took a trip to our local outdoors shop and bought the darling a Kids' Eddy of her very own. Life changing.No, seriously.She's prone to overheating at night and often wakes asking for a "wink." Every other sippy on the planet leaks, leading to damp sheets, and sometimes a little bit of a funky smell. Her first night with her Eddy was almost magical. I topped it off and tucked it into the corner of her pack'n'play. My husband and I didn't hear another peep out of her until WE went to bed a few hours later. Through out the night, I could hear her sip and suck away on her new little bottle. The first words out of her mouth in the morning were "More wink, pease!" as she waved her Eddy around. She and her bedding were completely dry. So was her Eddy, but we fixed that problem immediately.It bounces. It attaches to clothes with a pacifier strap. It fits in pockets. It doesn't drip. Its lid is incredibly secure. It's super easy to open. It's fun to use! In the following two days that we had her, we only experienced leakage when she would play with the straw valve. We didn't have any problems with the connector slipping into the bottle. She ran around with it hanging from her teeth at one point. Can't do that with a regular sippy cup.By the end of our weekend, Husband and I decided that we'll probably only use Eddys as sippy cups.The only draw back is the size of the container versus the price paid. For water, it's more cost effective to just buy the 20oz version. For juice, milk, coconut water, whatever, the .4L is more than adequate. For running around days, the .4L will fit snuggly into little pockets (3t pants on a 2t waist), and in that case is better than hauling around a big 20oz. that may get lost. But for extended car time, or in the house or at daycare, go 20oz for water and .4L for everything else.
the lid needs improvement
By scott
from sacramento, ca
I've got 2 kids that both love to use these water bottles. It actually helped get them to drink a lot more water on a daily basis, which is great. My problem with this product is the design for the lid/valve. This different design with the solid rubber piece is prone to leakage. one bump on the mouth piece and it pops out of position,going slightly inside of the lid, and then everything can leak out. My kids will toss these on the floor while playing and most of the time it results in half of the water going into the carpet.
Takes some getting used to
By Kat the light packer
from Portland, Or
As other reviewers and the product description point out, the valve/cap/straw configuration is different on the kids bottle than on the adult bottle. I've wanted a smaller eddy for years (I love my .75L but it's too large for the size of bag I carry daily and I prefer to have both hands free during my on-foot commute). The kids designs have been too childish for me to stomach until the tractor design came out. That I can live with, so I picked one up last week. The kids version has a smaller diameter straw, so the flow rate is much slower, which keeps surprising me. The kids version of the valve has a tendency to sploosh out water in inopportune places if you're not careful to let it refill with air before closing the bottle. I'm going to stick it out for another couple of weeks, and if I haven't adapted, I'll just buy a replacement regular eddy cap and straw and cut the straw down to size. The size is perfect for me though - just right for someone who hates feeling thirsty but doesn't mind refilling often. Speaking of refilling - the shorter size makes this bottle much easier to refill from water fountains, which comes in very handy.

Magic The Gathering Tactics Review
By, Ange Perdu
Magic: The Gathering Tactics is a 3D fantasy MMO where players become a powerful mage known as a Planeswalker. Based off the immensely popular 1993 trading card game that spawned an entire franchise fans get to exchange their boards for an online virtual world. Much like the original version players strategize each move on a gridded map to take out their opponent. Summon amazing mystical creatures to assist in combat. Cast various spells. Create a spellbook or deck of a great sorcerer. Complete challenging campaigns to help elevate your magic. Explore detailed animated environments. Go against other players in intense battles and compete in tournaments for prizes.
Rise of the Planeswalker, the Gameplay
Players create an avatar to represent their Planeswalker in the virtual world of Dominaria.
This animated reincarnation of a TCG is slightly different than its predecessors. Users navigate their Planeswalker through various environments completing campaign based missions and battling other players. As a character gains experience through leveling their magic capabilities also increase. There are five distinct colors of magic. Each shade represents a universal power. Select virtuous white, fiery red, earthy green, purple, or black. An optional in-depth narrated tutorial teaches mages the basics covering important techniques and interface settings. Players have the freedom to can choose their desired game mode. In Magic: The Gathering Tactics players can tackle story driven campaigns divided into chapters, wage combat against others, or participate in tournaments for bonus rewards. The solo play or campaigns allows users to accumulate experience points and additional cards. Every chapter features challenging missions. Players start off in the territory of Aerona in the wizard Academy at Tolaria West and travel across to the woods of Muronia inhabited by dangerous beasts. Complete various objectives along your journey. Kill a Goblin Piker with a melee attack. Use an Elvish archer to destroy vampires and summon a bridge. Some missions may require a Planeswalker to navigate through a certain area or activate magical globes. The tasks often vary making the gameplay interesting. Using magic to fight off shamans and wolves gives the game a true RPG feel.
The Spellbook
Each Planeswalker has an arsenal of spell cards stored in their spellbook or deck. Cards containing powerful enchantments, mythical creatures, or magical artifacts are collected and used in battle throughout the game. New players receive a free starter pack to work with. The game features a wide variety of cards for strategizing and annihilating foes. Use the Fear Enchantment to disable counter attacks from opponents. Call on the Thieving Magpie Bird to fly over obstacles. Clones enter the battlefield as a copy of its target. Other spells like the Uncommon Sorcery returns target enemy back to its owners cast bar. In the spellbook editor players simply double click to place a card in the next available slot. At the bottom of the screen there are designated rows for cards summoning creatures and casting enchantments. A minimum of 40 cards completes a spellbook. Four copies of specific card can be loaded into a deck. When a player reaches level 6 they can start earning talent points to invest in skill trees. The ability to customize and create multiple decks gives users the option of integrating a particular skill tree into a spellbook as well. Players are only as powerful as their spellbook. They are essential for strategizing attacks during combat.
Pick-Up Games & Tournaments
In pick-up games Planeswalkers fight against other wizards in turn based battles. A gridded map appears around figures in the plain. Each square counts as an area in which a character is allowed to move. A cast bar at the bottom of the screen displays spells from a player's deck along with a circle wheel monitoring mana. Mana is automatically generated per turn. Similar to PoxNora mages have the ability to summon mythical creatures to assist in battles. Clicking on a spell in the cast bar and then the desired target will initiate the attack. Although the animations for each spell are cool there is a significant lag when performing actions. It slows down gameplay and can be frustrating during intense matches. Players can also participate in tournaments. The three different types of tournaments in Magic: the Gathering Tactics are open, constructed, and draft. Each requires a fee of gold to enter. Open tournaments are scheduled throughout the day and does not require a set amount of players. Constructed tournaments are single elimination events where 8 players battle it out to the last one remaining. Draft tournaments are special Swiss events where the same number of players fights to win the best out of 3 games. These competitions often give away rare or expensive cards as rewards.
Auction House Benefits
In the Auction House Planeswalkers can buy or cards for gold. All the items are categorized by rarity, magic color, or type. There are hundreds of cards available to bid on. Buy the Gaseous Form enchantment to navigate through obstacles and figures quickly or grab a magical artifact like the Head of the Gorgon. The Talon Hawk Bird to the Giant Spider creature can be purchased for less than a user would pay in the shop area. The Auction House feature makes it easy to build up a decent deck. In the store boosters, single cards, and campaigns are available for station cash which requires real money to accumulate. Booster packs or boxes feature 10 to 24 card sets. Individual spells or creatures like the Targen, Magus of the Bazaar, and Mighty Djinn of Deceit increase the power of a mage's spellbook. There are five campaign chapters in Magic: the Gathering Tactics. Only the first campaign is free. The rest of them must be bought in the store. Paying for new campaigns can be expensive but necessary for serious players. It's possible to go through the free first chapter campaign relatively quickly leaving only pick-up games or tournaments to participate in.
Final Verdict: Good
Magic: the Gathering Tactics or MTGT is a solid MMO that combines role playing with traditional TCG elements for a unique experience. Players enter the virtual world of Dominaria to explore and conquer. Fight with familiar characters from the original Magic: the Gathering games as you cast spells and compete against other Planeswalkers. Complete missions in solo play for experience or go straight to battle in a quick pick-up game. Similar to games like PoxNora players summon mythical beasts to aid in combat.
Customize spellbooks and strategize to win tournaments for prizes. Although there's a noticeable time lag it's still fun. Fans of the MTG franchise will find this game truly addicting.

>worldwide cancer studies show another story.
what studies link nuclear power with cancer in the population?
If you calculate the CO2 polluted if some nuclear reactor fail your calculation is just a joke.
Also your claim with the solar power is irrational because if you use green energy to produce the solar power plants your CO2 food print goes to zero.
>worldwide cancer studies show another story.
what studies link nuclear power with cancer in the population?
It's impossible to produce concrete without CO2 emissions and every solar panel needs a concrete foundation, or the next storm will blow it away.
Worldwide studies show an massive increase of lifetime for all people since the introduction of nuclear power plants.
There are already hundreds of nuclear power generators in use without the need of a single drop of water.
now i know your calculation about CO2 is complete wrong your numbers are just "worst case" numbers.
a preserved wood mesh scaffold foundation is functional for over 100 years. and the lifetime of solar modules are only 40-50 years.
in real without having sex with an nuclear fuel rod the modern method of having 'exhaust gas cleaning' in coal power plants do have the same effect.
You can't build big power plant passive cooled like a 'Radioisotope thermoelectric generator'
in germany this is called a Radionuklidbatterie Radionuklid-batterie Batterie because the power output is very smal.
also the efficiency is only 3-8 %.
Just about smart-grid as we previously spoke about this in another subject (didn't find it) on renewable energy and Europe/North America/China.
I didn't know but there are already smart-grid in China, and they continue to grow their investment in this field :
Anoteher good point on windpower by square meter, with compact vertical axis wind farm :
and smart grid yes china go this way because there energy-cable-network is weak without a smart management the energy system broke.
smart grid is the best way to keep the costs low.
New informations about this tropic: http://www.heise.de/tp/blogs/2/151403
The criminal monopole Cable-net companies earn 10 million euro per cold day on green energy without paying back the EEG this is the prove the stupid civilians pay for green energy and the criminal Monopole Cable-network-companies earn the profit and the Civilians are the losers in this game.
the Civilians don't pay for green energy they pay money to big companies to increase the criminal profit.
This is just a Scandal! this companies are just MAFIA!
this is like every big corporates around the world, never forget that we live in oligarchiques (some say Corporatocraties) countries, that's not a news. That's the same for nuclear energy, for water, for roads and so on...
