Phoronix: Intel Releases MeeGo 1.2 With Netbook UX
Intel, now without the support of Nokia, has released their MeeGo 1.2 Linux-based operating system. The MeeGo 1.2 core release targets Intel Atom and ARMv7 architectures and is meant to serve as a baseline for device vendors and software developers to base their work upon...
The n900 1.2 beta is coming out 25.05.

The is an official N900 port which Engineers from Nokia are working on http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/DeveloperEdition
can it be installed on Toshiba AC100 and alike ? android sucks, old android sucks more and unmaintained nvidia blobs suck the most. a good OS, like this would make that tegra bullshit worth something.
too bad there is no non-tegra ARMv7 PC portables :( at least, none i know of.
You'd have to do some hacking to compile all the Netbook UX for ARM (that's only available for x86) and compile the kernel, adding the tegra specific drivers (I think their video drivers are binary only??). It should be doable as all meego code is open-source, would be an interesting project.
These guys have an awesome looking ARM netbook http://alwaysinnovating.com/home/index.htm I hear they've had a lot of problems with production though, so their latest devices are yet to be delivered to any customers.
What's so bad about Android?
so, MeeGo team officially not even working on "netbook" UX for ARM ? :(
too bad but real issue still nvidia's binaries. most people orgasm and splurge their shit all over the place about divine happiness given by Nvidia when topic is software support for GPUs. but with tegra you fucked as much as if it were VIA's GPU.
you use binaries for android's 2.2 kernel (2.6.29?) and some of its userspace or you use vesa (nouveau also has 0 support for tegras). and it's not only for GPU. tegra is a name of entire board and there is some other stuff which is controlled only by obsolete binaries. and by the way, no android 3.x support either.
nice, huh ?
awesome ! i always dreamed about thing like this (Touch Book) but didn't thought it actually existed. this is ideal PC portable ! this is how this it suppose to look like.
give me this thing with MeeGo or Opensuse on-board, give me N900 (or better, theirs improved and updated successor-versions) with MeeGo and my tech-craving is satisfied for years to come ! and i would buy one for every family member too. hell, i would pimp it to everyone, that would be ideal picks for laptop-like and phone-like segments respectfully.
...ah, but, of course, this one is a little outdated, GPU support is questionable too, as quantity of binary components needed (how good it be with modern Free distribution like Opensuse or Ubuntu or with tuned MeeGo actually ?) and Nokia's R&D is in a middle of destruction, N900's successor, probably, cancelled and its software support is lacking (no OTG without crutches, wtf ?).
and the market is filled with useless, electricity-wasting, artificially-obsolescent-via-abandonware/blobs bullcrap in both segments ! whoopty-fucking-doo >:

a combination of 'snap' and 'ouch' (e.g) 'snouch' A reply to someone whom expresses an insult towards yourself.

A variation on the classic teabag. Choose a victim who has passed out at a party w/ their shoes on. While they're snoring blissfully, gently rest your scrotum on their upper lip for a few inhalations, letting them draw your scent into their dreams. then, simply zip up and walk away. Subject will wake up and suspect something occurred, but never know exactly where that smell on their upper lip came from.
"I snouched him good." "He totally had that snouch coming."

A snouch is a contraction of "snatch pouch", and is the space between the pussy and the underwear surrounding it, which can be used for storage of small items.
Storage of larger items can be consigned, as usual, to the cleavage.

Another way to say the word shit. Can be in reference to anything of distaste to a specific individual. Can also be used to refer to something that everyone is aware about without actually specifically mentioning it.
1) Oh Snouch!! (In refrence to a flop in Texas hold'em)
2) Let's get this snouch outta here.
3) Check that snouch out!

Excellent product. I don't care too much for jewelry, I'm not materialistic and I could care less for the diamonds and pearls. But when this thing came in the mail, I have to admit that even I was amazed. All I can say is that it is a high quality ring at a reasonable price, its elegant yet simple design will make any finger look good. I'm not going to lie and say that she said yes because of the ring, I had proposed to her earlier with a crackerjack box ring and she said yes with no knowledge that she would receive a legitimate one. This ring was the cherry on top and the stepping stone towards the transitioning of our relationship.
I was in search of a replacement ring since my original rings were stolen when our house was robbed. I had a set amount since our insurance paid for our stolen property. I was looking for a ring that I have wanted for a long time. Three stone, princess cut, white gold. I wanted something that would go with my old wedding band (that was thankfully locked in our safe). I searched around at different jewelery stores in my area, including some private stores and stores like Kays and Zales. The private stores didn't have anything in my price range as they deal with "quality" diamonds. Kays and Zales were unimpressive, everything in my price range looked so cheap! I had bought my husbands wedding band from Overstock, so I decided to have a look. I found this ring, read the reviews and decided to go ahead and order it. Worse case, I'd send it back. I know that the diamond in this ring is not the highest quality (It has some inclusions, not colorless per the description, but still a decent diamond), but I went for it. I am really happy I did. This ring came before Christmas, as promised. I opened the box and it was more then I expected. Although I have to admit I didn't want to get my hopes up. The diamonds are pretty clear, there is one inclusion I can see if I look hard enough, but when I pointed it out to my husband and mother-in-law they could not see it. It sparkles like I want. It's a great setting. The sizing is true. I wore it to a Christmas Eve party and everyone noticed it. It fits perfect with my old wedding band. The size of the diamonds is good. Not too big and definitely not too small. I am a tall woman (pushing six foot), and my hands are on the larger side. It is still a nice size and compliments my finger well. I can not stop looking at it. If you are looking for a good sized diamond without too many noticeable inclusions, this is it! I am very pleased with it.

Yes. I saw her practice video too. She was doing great except her 3As. And I heard Arakawa said Mao wasn't in the best shape that day. I think she was too tired. She overtrained to get those 3As back. She looked genuinely confused during her interview.
I just remember reading some report said she traind too hard so she couldn't move her body at all like two weeks before the competition. It said they thought she has recovered from the exhaustion already but she wasn't fully recovered or something.
Whatever happened, I feel terrible for Mao and hope she recovers for next season. We know that her difficulties weren't caused by lack of heart, that's for sure. It's unusual that someone with her delicate artistry is also able to summon up such fierce drive even under great pressure--but she does it every time. Get some rest, Mao, and give yourself time to grieve for your mother. I know from experience that it's not an easy process. Your fans will be waiting for you when you come back next season.
Sorry, but that is a problem that her team needed to have sorted out - the burn out factor. That could easily happen again at Senior Worlds next season if they don't manage her season (training and competition) properly and she DID NOT win the GPF and if she were lucky might have podiumed.
IMHO, I think this is a poor excuse in the same way I see CC/4CC as a poor excuse for Alissa - that was her team's decision to do that competition and if it wreaked havoc on her programs at Worlds, then they screwed up by choosing to do that competition. If Liza T was burned out, then her team made poor choices in the summer/fall to cause that. You have to be ready to put it out when it counts and in Liza T's case that should have been the GPF (which was her last Senior international of the season) and in Alissa's case that should have been Worlds.
So who won this blasted competition?
Sorry if I was vague. I only meant that you are only as good as your most recent 50 jumps not the previous 1000. So if the recent 50 3As all failed you wouldn't trust yourself to do one (ie 3A). I wasn't referring to the Sato-Asada relationship. Also this is why I didn't mention the 2nd half of the article about Mao's practice in Japan going well. Because that's irrelevant for the reason I've given above.
Amelie Lacoste have lost a great opportunity to convince Skate Canada that she is the best.
Even Kaetlyn Osmond have better score than Lacoste in Junior Worlds. Next year, I think that Skate Canada will rooting for Kaetlyn Osmond. It would be a better choice for Canada.
Very true. I wouldnt be surprised if we never see her at Worlds again. Osmond will be looked at seriously next year, Phaneuf will probably be improved under Orser. Also might Samson come back, with the wide open Canadian women she has every reason to want to. Then of course one cant ignore the possability of a Rochette comeback, in which case she waltzs back to the top based on anything the current Canadian women have shown. LaCoste did nothing to make her case at Worlds, and will have a hard time getting Canada's 1 spot to return next year.
WOW, Carolina's LP already has 173.000+ views!!! I saw it was on the main site of Youtube yesterday. Amazing!!! And the Italian commentary is hilariously over the top. They are so happy for her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOf6-8lT9t0
For those of us who don't speak Italian could you translate it for us or tell us what made it hilarious? I did hear "mamma mia" when Alissa skated and it sounded very sympathetic. I bet it was 1000 times better than Scott Hamilton's grunts and same comments over and over.

To tell you the truth, I was actually thinking of the exact same thing when I first heard of Ubuntu "Christian" Edition. Give me a damn break... does the world really need something like this? At least the Satanic version is humorous in some way . Hell, if they have a good theme then I may use this distribution if only for the novelty of it.
EDIT: Actually it seems this distribution seems to be a joke (kinda sad...). At this time no links work on that page.

Body Drench Quick Tan Sunless Tanning Mist
Karen C.IllinoisHairLight BrownFine or Thin HairAwesome TanMy friend had me try Quick Tan and now I can't live without this tan in a spray can ... In all my years tanning and fake tans this is awesome !! I love the smell .. I had no dripping,, no problems with spraying myself at all.. Thank you Body Drench for such a great product.. Please don't ever take it off the market because there will be a lot of upset women out there.. With all the scare about skin cancer this is now my new best friend!!!posted May 17, 2014Link to this post
JenniferLoveI've used 4 different tanning lotions (all recommended to me by a friend who uses them in her modeling career) and I love this one the best. I was a little nervous after I sprayed it and it left little dark spots in my hair follicles, but the next day (i sprayed at night before bed) they were gone. It was definitely the best color I've used and there were no spots or irregular areas. AND it lasted a full week without reapplication and it just went away! no fading in weird spots or leaving spots....love it and i've ordered it several times.posted Sep 10, 2013Link to this post
Anneliese O.It Wasn't Bad But It Wasn't Great...All in all this is not a horrible self-tanner. I've definitely tried worse self-tanners in my lifetime. It is very natural looking; it gives you a beautiful bronze tan and not an orange tan that us girls all dread!This self-tanner is not greasy by any means and does not streak or blotch. It "mists" smoothly onto your skin and is very light on your skin. It has a very pleasant scent, I personally think it smells like vanilla and there really is no after smell like a self-tanner smell. So that's a definite plus. This product was not the greatest either. I found that it really sinks into pores so it looked "dotty". I definitely was not a big fan of that. And, personally, I have the HARDEST time using spray on tans. There's just way to many awkward angles for me and I can never spray the product on evenly. Thought I'd give it one last chance. I'm definitely a lotion type of gal.posted Apr 9, 2013Link to this post
NoelleHairDark BrownColor Treated HairEasy To Usei tried this product on my legs and feet first (its winter here so i wasnt afraid if it didnt look good)..as i went thru the day i noticed it was really nice...so i decided to do my whole body. Dries fast but i feel like i want to rub it in..I only wiped alittle with a damp towel in areas i know it will ""blotch"..Im anxious to see what it looks like later. So far the only thing is i have to master is NOT spraying my bathroom tile..(i will)...:)

MiaMACan't Live Without This.I have tried tons of self tanners and this by far rates as the best., no orange look and it's easy to apply. I have 3 friends who have switched over to this brand and they are still thanking me for telling them my secret..posted Sep 4, 2012Link to this post
LtI Thought I Was Going To Be An Oompa Loompa!lol!
Anyways, I am tan up top and it is VERY hard for my legs to get any color so after many reviews I decided to purchase this product. I ended up having my boyfriend spray me down one night with this. I stood in the shower while we made my body savage! Nervous at first but by the time it was applied I had to finish. After he did my legs I decided to do the rest of my body. The color turned into a reddish burn on the paler parts of my skin but I wasn't going any where at 2am so I didn't mind. I let the product work its magic and I liked the results!
THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME USING A PRODUCT OF THIS KIND, and we my whole body in about 10 minutes.... EEK!
I am not a professional and if you saw my feet you would know my boyfriend wasn't either. DO NOT spray your feet with this or step on the over spray. My toes DID end up orange/brown/and normal tan and the bottom of my feet were orangish dark brown. I did allot of scrubbing and buffing to help "fade" the color. ALSO! if you are spraying parts of your body that touch other parts ie; thighs and arms MAKE SURE you let yourself FULLY dry otherwise you will "smear?"(I guess is the best word) and it will leave your normal paleness on a patch of your skin.
When the color started to fade the pores(?) on my legs looked like it had orangeish dots -that is possibly because I neglected to exfoliate before or shave my legs while the color faded.
Anyways, I thought the color was great, the product delivers as promised. With patience and care the product should deliver great success!posted Jul 21, 2012Link to this post -
KarenGood Stuff!!!I argee with alot of the other reviews, does not have orange color like other spray tans I've used, more of a brown, almost redish/fresh from the tanning bed look, which I don't mind on my pale skin :-) I too would recommend using in shower because it can discolor clothing, towels, etc. that you are wearing. One note, if putting on fresh from shower, make sure skin is COMPLETELY dry, because if not it will run, learned that from experience :-(posted Feb 9, 2012Link to this post
Jess R.USNot At All Orange! Looks Beautiful. Great Alternative To The Tanning-bed.I love this self-tanner! It's the best I have ever used. It looks SO natural and I have been getting compliments on it for the last week that I've been using it.
It also smells kind of like vanilla- which is a plus.
Only con: It washes almost completely off in the shower, but it's not like it comes off when you sweat or wash your hands. It takes lots of moisture- but it will come off.
My co-workers and everyone I know has been saying nothing but, "Have you been getting some sun?" And even the girl at the bank asked me if I had been to the beach. It's a very very pretty color, and I am naturally very pale. I love love love this product.
Application is fairly easy once you figure it out. I've used it about five times now, and it only takes me about 5 minutes to apply it, and then only 5 more to let it completely dry. It does not come off onto my clothes.
I put my hair in a bouffant cap and spray it on in the shower. It washes right off your shower wall after- it will not stain it in the least.
TIPS: Hold the can far away when spraying- and keep the can moving, don't leave it in one spot. When you make a dark spot on accident, keep a wad of paper towels nearby so you can blot them and smear it in.
Also, to put it on my face, I just close my eyes and hold my breath and lightly mist with the can far far away from me. It looks great.
Give this product a try- it is so worth it.

HeatherRaleigh, NCAwesome Product!This is my first time using a spray tan like this. The reviews were so good I just had to try it. I had my fiance spray me which worked out great. The color is awesome and looks so natural, not orange at all. It's really helpful that you can see where you've sprayed so you can get even coverage. I did notice a very faint odor of the normal self tanner smell after a few hours but it really was not too bad and nothing to keep me from using this again. I just wish it came in a bigger can! I've already ordered more.posted Jul 22, 2011Link to this post
MiaCan't Live Without It.I Love this product. I have tried way too many tan in a can, and I must say this one is the best.There is no orange snooki oompa look, and the price is reasonable.
Best part is it's not messy either. I'm very happy with it and will continue using it.posted May 30, 2011Link to this post

Phoronix: KDE SC 4.11 Planned For Release In Mid-August
The release schedule for KDE SC 4.11 has been set and the next major release of the KDE Plasma desktop will come in mid-August...
If you feed a troll before the troll itself, you're a troll too...
I'm really anticipating this release since it will finally fix tearing on intel with kwin: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307965 meaning I can finally switch to kde
He hasn't posted yet so hopefully that post acted as Troll repellant.
More seriously, I am really looking forward to another great KDE release. I'm also looking forward to the migration to QT 5 and the new Plasma Desktop 2, which looks to be very slick.
P.S. --> Hey Larabel, wanna have me turn off Adblock? Get rid of morons like funkSTAR.
Really? I have understood in Swedish folklore trolls are looked down. In Norwegian folklore, however, trolls seems to be admired. In Norway there are many big "good" troll statues.
Anyways, Phoronix forums, with trolls and angry nerds and what not, are better place to chill and relax than watching TV
Not disturbed of trolls, and have never been. Maybe I have Norwegian blood in my veins

Ranger Award
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Please help improve this article by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page. |
High adventure and the outdoors have always been of interest to young Americans as well as an important part of the BSA program. Because of the attraction of high adventure, the Ranger Award is available to all Venturing youth members of the Boy Scouts of America.
The purpose of the award is to encourage Venturers to achieve a high level of outdoor skills proficiency; recognize achievement of this high level of outdoor skills proficiency; provide a path for outdoor/high-adventure skills training; and establish Rangers as a highly trained leadership resource for crews, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the community.
The Ranger Award exemplifies a challenging high-level outdoor/high-adventure skills advancement program. Once earned, it will identify a Ranger as a person who is highly skilled at a variety of outdoor sports and interests, trained in outdoor safety, and ready to lead or assist others in activities. Rangers can be a great program asset to Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and others.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 14
Rated 4 out of 5�by SDRM Had to return after one run! But exchanged for another one.
When we took it out the box it seemed in perfect condition. Super easy to assemble. Pumped the tires up And went for one run on our bike trail. The next day we went back to the trail, and both tires were deflated. A local AAA Truck happened to see us and offered to pump up our tires. He wasn't able to and said there was probably a hole in both. Luckily there was a Dicks Sporting Goods a couple miles from trail. Went straight there and they were so nice and helpful and exchanged it for us. A gentleman who worked there even carried the new one out to our car and helped open it and assemble. I noticed the tires were already fully pumped so I'm assumming the originally one had defective tires from the start since we had to pump them up. We went right back to trail and so far so good!!

Rated 5 out of 5�by Emily276 Great product for the price!
I recently purchased this trailer after debating over which one to get for awhile. Ended up getting this one because of the price and also because it was one of the only ones in the store. I have only used it about 10-20 times so far, but it has been perfect for us! It seems to be sturdy and well built. It is easy to assemble and fold up. It is also very simple to convert to a jogging stroller. Though it does have a swiveling front wheel for jogging, this may not be the best piece of equipment if you're wanting to use it as a jogging stroller on the regular. As a bike trailer, it functions perfectly and smoothly. This is not a big trailer, though, so if you're wanting a lot of space for 2 kids, this is not the trailer for you. I have a 3 year old who is petite (32lbs) and a 6mo old who is pretty normal sized for her age (19lbs). They fit in there just fine and they both enjoy it a lot but they won't fit in there for long! Not a ton of room if your kids are much bigger than the size I just described. Other than that, this bike trailer is great-especially for the price!

Rated 4 out of 5�by Bob@WDW Purchased a second for my daughter
I purchased my first InSTEP bike trailer for a trip to Fort Wilderness At Walt Disney World. It worked so well I purchased a second and had it shipped to my daughter. The trailer converts easily to a stroller and seems rugged enough to last if taken care of. It is a tight fit if I put both my grandchildren inside and is hard to pull with that much weight.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Jessica Excellent way to carry baby on bike rides!
After months of daily usage and time to get to know the ins and outs of the bicycle trainer I highly recommend this product. My little one absolutely loves the nice smooth ride! The transition from trailer to stroller is really quiet easy and fast; the functionality of having both available is priceless. Easy to put together and fold up. Over all a really solid product.

Rated 1 out of 5�by Michel4889 No good
I was very excited to get this. I read reviews and they were all great. The price was great too.Then I tried it out. It is great as a bike trailer easy to use. But as a jogging stroller. The front wheel shakes so bad that you can't run with any type of speed. It worked the first time I ran and after that it was junk. Do not recommend using for jogging at all.

Extremely easy to assemble, only a phillips head screwdriver needed. Quality product, especially for the price. I could not be happier.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Jackie Love it!
This product is amazing! We recently purchased bikes for ourselves but we wanted to be able to tow our two children (4 and 2) with us instead of using those ugly bike seats. The kids love their 'wagon' and we have taken it on the road and some bike trails with no problems. It goes together easily and folds up fast as well for easy transport. So glad we purchased this!

Rated 4 out of 5�by Momma108 Not As Easy As I Thought
I recently purchased this bike trailer for my 18 month old son. He fits comfortably in the cabin and seems to enjoy the ride. However, my only complaint is that it is not easy to fold up and store. It says you can put all "loose articles" in the cabin, but you cannot put the wheels inside and still fold it. Which makes storing and transporting a pain. I used to have a different type of trailer that folded up with wheels attached, wish this one was the same.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Family Biker Perfect
We were looking for an easy trailer to carry our 2 year old and 6 month old but did not want to break the bank. We have used the trailer about 4 times on bike rides and on a few walk's/hikes. Product breaks down flat in less than a minute and goes back together just as quickly. I am trying to figure out what the other products that cost 500 dollars have over this one? anyways save some money this item is perfect.

Advertising and technology industry advocates spoke out against legislation offered by Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., to stop the surreptitious collection of location data from smartphones and other devices.
What's being said
We have enough of loss of privacy. The gatherers sum how flaunted the "do not call rule" but nothing is done to stop the violators.
Self regulation is in this context, an oxymoron.
Next these marketing companies will be asserting the right to collect all information on your phone. The GAO testified as to the collection of tracking and location data that:
"companies did not consistently or clearly disclose to consumers what the companies do with these data or the third parties with which they might share the data . . . ."

Sleep and Newborns
"Does your baby sleep through the night?" is one of the questions new parents hear the most. And the bleary-eyed moms and dads of newborns almost always answer: "No."
Newborn babies don't know the difference between day and night yet — and their tiny stomachs don't hold enough breast milk or formula to keep them satisfied for very long. They need food every few hours, no matter what time of day or night it is.
How Long Babies Sleep
A newborn may sleep as much as 16 hours a day (or even more), often in stretches of 3 to 4 hours at a time. And like the sleep all of us experience, babies have different phases of sleep: drowsiness, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and very deep sleep. As babies grow, their periods of wakefulness increase.
At first, these short stretches of 3 to 4 hours of sleep may be frustrating for you as they interfere with your sleep pattern. Have patience — this will change as your baby grows and begins to adapt to the rhythms of life outside the womb.
At first, though, the need to feed will outweigh the need to sleep. Many pediatricians recommend that a parent not let a newborn sleep too long without feeding. In practical terms, that means offering a feeding to your baby every 3 to 4 hours or so, and possibly more often for smaller or premature babies. Breastfed infants may get hungry more frequently than bottle-fed babies and need to nurse every 2 hours in the first few weeks.
Where and How a Baby Should Sleep
For the first weeks of life, most parents place their child's crib or bassinet in their own bedroom. A separate room just seems too far away at this early point.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommend against bringing your infant to sleep in bed with you for safety reasons. Although many cultures endorse cosleeping, there is a risk that the baby can suffocate or strangle, and studies have shown that there's a higher incidence of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in households where the baby slept in the parents' bed.
Establishing a routine right from the beginning can help. How we sleep is based in large part on habit and what our bodies use as the signals that it is time to sleep. Always putting your baby in the crib for sleeping will help signal to the infant that this is the place for sleep. Keep in mind, though, it may take a few weeks for your baby's brain to signal the difference between night and day. Unfortunately, there are no tricks to speed this up except to be as consistent in your routine as possible.
Always keep sleep safety in mind. Do not place anything in the crib or bassinet that may interfere with your baby's breathing; this includes plush toys, pillows, blankets, and bumper pads. Although bumper pads were widely used in the past, they are no longer recommended. A study, using data from the CPSC, found a number of accidental deaths appeared to be related to the use of bumper pads in cribs and bassinets. The AAP and other pediatric organizations strongly discourage the use of bumper pads in cribs to avoid accidental suffocation.
Also, avoid items with cords, ties, or ribbons that can wrap around a baby's neck, and objects with any kind of sharp edge or corner. Babies can also get tangled in hanging mobiles, so remove them as well. Don't forget to look around for the things that your baby can touch from a standing position in the crib. Wall hangings, pictures, draperies, and window blind cords are potentially harmful if within baby's reach.
The AAP recommends that healthy infants be placed on their backs to sleep, not on their stomachs. The incidence of SIDS has decreased by more than 50% since this recommendation was first made in 1992. It is now also recommended that premature infants sleep only on their backs.
It is thought that some babies sleeping on their stomachs may have a greater tendency toward sleep obstruction and rebreathing their own carbon dioxide because they are less likely to rouse themselves to change head positions. Another possibility is that they may suffocate on softer bedding if they are lying face-down.
If your baby has a medical condition, there may be an exception to these recommendations. Your baby's doctor can best advise you on the right sleep position for your little one.
Encouraging Your Newborn's Sleep
You can help adjust your baby's body clock toward sleeping at night by avoiding stimulation during nighttime feedings and diaper changes. Try to keep the lights low and resist the urge to play or talk with your baby. This will reinforce the message that nighttime is for sleeping.
Overly tired infants often have more trouble sleeping than those who've had an appropriate amount of sleep during the day. So, keeping your baby up in hopes that he or she will sleep better at night will not necessarily work.
Consider establishing some sort of bedtime routine (bathing, reading, singing) to help get your baby to relax in the coming months. Even though your newborn may be too young to get the signals yet, setting up the bedtime drill now can keep you on the right track later.
What if your baby is fussy? It's OK to rock, cuddle, and sing as your baby is settling down. For the first months of your baby's life, "spoiling" is definitely not a problem. In fact, studies have shown that babies who are carried around during the day have less colic and fussiness.
The first months of a baby's life can be the hardest for the parents because you are potentially getting up every few hours to tend to the baby. Each baby is different in terms of when he or she will sleep through the night, and parents differ regarding when they're comfortable with encouraging their newborn to do so.
By 2 months most babies are sleeping 6 to 8 hours through the night. If your baby isn't sleeping through the night by 4 months, talk with your doctor about how you can help this to happen.

While most parents can expect newborns to sleep or catnap most of the day, the range of what is normal is quite wide. Check with your doctor if you have questions about how much (or how little) your baby is sleeping.
You may want to talk with the doctor if your baby seems overly irritable and cannot be adequately soothed. In addition, if your baby is difficult to rouse from sleep and generally seems uninterested in feeding efforts, speak to the doctor immediately for reassurance or further medical guidance.

Merriam Webster says"moral" has to do with the principles of right & wrong regarding behavior. It was necessary for me to take a moral inventory 'cuz, as the book tells me, I could no longer separate the true from the false & thought my alcoholic life was normal.
So I could justify anything I did & believe it was true & noble & necessary! That's why I need a sponsor & to work the steps & read the big book & have a conscious contact with God-because I'm blind by myself.

County sues district attorney; DA calls CAO and auditor 'out of control'
Delaine FragnoliThe County of Plumas filed suit last week in Plumas Superior Court against District Attorney Jeff Cunan, alleging he did not follow proper procedure with funds from the bad check diversion program.
The county is seeking payment from Cunan of $14,771.55 and any other funds a complete audit may uncover.
"This is the latest example of fiscal waste by (county auditor) Shawn Montgomery and (County Administrative Officer) Jack Ingstad and their need to find scapegoats," said Cunan. "I used district attorney monies solely for district attorney services in a way that saved Plumas County taxpayers thousands of dollars. There was no mishandling of money whatsoever. This claim establishes that the CAO and the auditor are now officially out of control."
According to court papers, the bad check diversion program had at least $12,160.47 that Cunan assumed from his predecessor when he took office Dec. 31, 2002.
After taking office and continuing through May 13, 2010, Cunan collected more than $22,255.39 in funds for the bad check program.
The problem, according to the county's complaint, is that the funds sat in a bank account first at Placer Savings and then at Plumas Bank, when they should have been deposited into the county treasury.
The county alleges checks drawn on or withdrawals from the account occurred outside the county appropriations process and, thus, did not have the blessing of the Board of Supervisors.
Withdrawals and checks on the account from Dec. 31, 2002, to May 13, 2010, totaled at least $14,771.55 — the amount the county is seeking from Cunan.
Cunan had "no authority" to make those expenditures said Ingstad. "They constitute a gift of public funds. Many of them would not have been approved if they had been part of the budget process."
Court papers note that it was Cunan who brought the existence of the account to the attention of Plumas County Auditor Shawn Montgomery.
The court papers also note that Cunan made a closing withdrawal of $19,960.22 from the Plumas Bank account on or about May 13, 2010, which he paid over to the Plumas County treasurer.
A management conference for the case is scheduled May 9, 2011, in Plumas Superior Court.

Nice, good job + explanation Pawno... cept: 2011 GSW NFL DEATHMATVH
Lets hope there is a season so I can defend my title! I also really enjoyed the unorthodox, auction draft league that Crackerz hosted last year - we should do that again. |
I fixed that spelling typo...wasn't hard.
I'm looking forward to this season, when I will have a chance to draft my own team. God, I still can't believe it that someone would take 49ers defense and Vernon Davis with first two picks. |
I'm going Alex Smith and Andy Lee with my top two this year! My keepers will be Matt Bryant and Brian Westbrook - CHAMPIONSHIIP! |
Haha...that's a safe bet.
Funny thing is that I had the chance for the playoffs until the very end. |
ok so im not going to lock in guybrush and jreed selections cause clearly they are joking.
Should be a interesting format considering the emergence of certain players... I look at beast mode team and can see 1 of 3 players that is certain to be released and im licking my chops at the prospect. F*ck realyy hope theres a season |

I will join of course, but i dunno about drafting while the lockout is still in place. There are so many free agents out there that I want to see where they land.
Yeah I agree bro. We need to wait a couple of weeks. If it comes to Mid-August then unfortunately we will probably have to scrap the keeper league so that instead of a offline draft we can get straight into a online draft. |

Holy crap did my team suck last year.
The only person on my list I would keep is Rashard Mendenhall. I recall drafting Jermichael Finley last year, and then dropping him, which was stupid. I spoke to him recently, and he would like to come back onto my team |
my fantasy team blows every year... basketball included... that said... im cleaning house and forfeiting both of my picks...
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
thats awesome news bro... Hopefully i get my grubby mits on Andre Johnson then :-) |
Hey Bro... Mr Crackerz is doing that Auction draft again (with divisions) Unfortunately incorporating auction draft into a KEEPER2 draft just doesn't work. BTW as you are the champion.. I must clarify a rule that your snake draft doesn't start until the 2nd Round. The reason it's Round 1A & Round 1B is to acknowledge the weaker teams get a fair chance to pick the cherry from the crop... I hope your cool with that explanation??? (obviously your keeping Jamal Charles & Frank Gore??? 2 stud Runningbacks... Someones going to get a chance to snap up Peyton Mannings favorite target in Reggie Wayne) |
Can everyone check the spreadsheet??
I've started a small little chart of who's keeping picks and who's forfeiting. You don't have to immediately tell your keepers or forfeits until theirs info on the lockout ending. But some of us are confident (like me & 8th Ave) I will colour code peoples making decision to orange cells & keeper picks to white text (Orange cells & black text indicates available players) https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkCmftpGtdBZdDRBUWFmbDNoOXVCTzVGVFBQc0Q1WkE&hl=en_US&authkey=CL7J4okI |

This article has been corrected since it was published in the print magazine.
Video: "China Climbs the Ladder"
James Fallows and Megan McArdle discuss China's economic moment and the folly of the term "currency manipulators."
Our apartment in Beijing overlooks one of the city's long-distance bus terminals, where people arrive from the countryside to find work or sell wares, and depart for visits or permanent returns to their home villages. Early last summer, the terminal was jammed, and most of the passengers were leaving town.
At the time, the outbound flow was taken as one more last-minute sign of China's optimistic, all-fronts effort to spiff up Beijing for its role as Olympic host. Through the spring, construction workers had toiled round the clock on any building or public-works project (notably, new subway stations) that had a chance of being completed by the time of the Games. For projects with no hope of making the deadline, workers toiled instead to put up screening walls, or to neaten the piles of I-beams and rebar that normally littered the sites. In July the government ordered a halt to all building or demolition work anywhere near Beijing, as part of a security lockdown and in hopes that construction dust would settle out of the air. The workers, mostly migrants from poorer neighboring provinces, went home on (mostly unpaid) leave to see their families and watch the Games on village TVs.
In September, as Olympic spectators were leaving Beijing, migrant workers returned, via packed buses and trains. In the capital as in fast-growing cities all across China, country people stand out in the urban crowd. Their hands and faces are more weathered, their clothes simpler and more ragged. Often they move about town lugging unwieldy bundles of bedding and belongings wrapped in the plaid-patterned, woven-plastic fabric that somehow has become standard for such purposes in poor countries around the world.
This post-Olympic flow back into the city was expected—but what happened next was not. In mid-October, at about the time retail sales were collapsing in the United States, we started seeing extra buses muster each morning with full loads of migrants headed out of town again. On an icy afternoon in November, I passed a site where a huge new office complex was being built. Its towering construction cranes, which just a week earlier had been swinging loads of cement and steel so close to the sidewalk that passersby ducked, were motionless. The frontage road was lined with buses whose license plates were from Hebei province—the sticks. A driver told me that the convoy would take workers back to their home village—"For now, no work"—and then come back for another load as soon as it dropped this batch off.
Through the rest of the winter and early this spring, Beijing's air stayed notably clearer than it had been at the same time a year ago. Part of that was because of unusually windy weather, and part may have been a residual benefit of Olympic cleanup measures. But it was also a sign that fewer factories were running in the heavy-industrial districts upwind of Beijing.
The outbound buses and the better air were our local indicators of the economic contraction being felt in practically every corner of the world. And there were signs of it everywhere in China. Container ships sitting, moored and idle, in the harbor of Hong Kong. Revenues down in Macau's casinos. Seas of empty seats aboard a small Airbus on the Shanghai-Beijing shuttle flight. (The first time I took that trip, in 2006, it was aboard a 747 with every seat full.) A report that a million or more of this year's university graduates were still looking for jobs. Protests across the country, as real-estate developers and small-factory owners went bankrupt—and disappeared without paying employees months of back wages. Thousands of factories in Dongguan, in Guangdong province just north of Hong Kong, had been the real-life incarnation of the world's stereotype of low-wage Chinese workers turning out low-value goods—cheap dolls and toys, Halloween masks, the bulk of the world's Christmas presents and decorations. Within months the area was transformed into China's rust belt.
You never know which statistics to believe in China, but in January a local official in Dongguan told me that at least 1 million factory workers had recently lost their jobs within five miles of where I was, and probably another million in nearby manufacturing areas of Guangdong province. The electronics supplier Foxconn, whose gigantic compound in Shenzhen turns out components for Apple, Dell, HP, and countless other companies and which had recently employed more than 250,000 workers, sent all its employees on a one-month unpaid furlough late last year. Reports in the Chinese press said Foxconn might lay off 100,000 worldwide.
Is the "China story" as we've known it—the three-decade-long story of modernization and prosperity supervised by an authoritarian regime whose economic success excuses most complaints and failings—over? Has it reached its limits and exposed its contradictions? If China does not keep moving forward and growing, will it tear itself apart?
Observers outside China often compare its difficulties to Japan's a generation earlier. Few people inside China think the two economies have much in common—one is full of impoverished peasants, while the other has practically eliminated poverty; one is rushing toward industrialization while the other has been an industrial power for more than a century. But in recent months, I've heard countless Americans and a few Europeans ask, "Isn't this just like the 'Japan scare' of the 1980s?" The question is shorthand for saying: "Japan seemed unstoppable 20 years ago and has been a sick man ever since. Is 'rising' China perhaps due for a similar reassessment?"
From Chinese intellectuals and officials I've more often heard a cautionary comparison to the old Soviet Union, implying that political control and territorial dominion could be undone by economic failure. By this logic, the Chinese Communist Party has no choice but to keep the country's business growing as fast as possible, since a steady increase in material welfare is the real basis of the party's legitimacy. If the economy were ever to stagnate—which is generally understood to mean a growth rate that falls below about 8 percent per year—then a larger share of the Chinese public might register dis content with Communist rule. And then anything could happen. The territorial contrast between the vast old Soviet empire and today's shrunken Russian state may help explain the Chinese government's intransigence about any threat of what it dismisses as "splittism" concerning Tibet, the Muslim region of Xinjiang, or Taiwan.
The Japanese and Soviet comparisons are awkward because of obvious differences from China. At no point in its history did the Soviet Union achieve anything like China's sustained record of high-speed growth. So the "stagnation" that helped bring the Soviet regime down was in fact real, decades-long economic decline. Japan's prolonged "sickness" is one most countries would envy: with half as many people as America and one-tenth as many as China, Japan still has the world's second-largest economy and many of its strongest industrial brands, including the world's largest carmaker, Toyota. Moreover, both Japan and the Soviet Union at times presented themselves as models of different paths toward modernity. Modern China is a force and a reality, but not a model or an idea that others might replicate. The Chinese system will remain unique. (The one nation that shares its scale, India, does not share its political precepts. No other nation that could build roads, airports, and industrial parks as modern as China's could impose so repressive a political regime.)
Still, thinking of how previous models might apply to China raises a valid point. The Soviet Union's political control was finally undone by its economic failures. And the parts of Japan's system that truly don't work—mainly the financial markets, which have yet to emerge from a 20-year slump—reflect its difficulty in adjusting to changes in the world economy. So if China's rise is not undone by the risks that have been evident for years—pollution, water shortage, corruption, the widening rich-poor social gap, primitive safety standards*—might China prove vulnerable to Soviet-style discontent born of a slowing economy? Or to Japanese-style inability to understand how the world is changing all around it?
My guess is No. China faces big problems, and its modern history has been marked by the unforeseen. Perhaps we will look back at the spectacle and choreography of the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies as the last time the world thought there was no limit to what China could achieve. But I am betting the other way.

As a steak lover, I can't think of a better meal to enjoy for Valentine's Day.
Since it can be pricey, I only make it on special ocassions – and Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion! Get sizzling in the kitchen for an easy, Romantic dinner for two.
Filet mignon is the most tender cut of steak you can buy, and doesn't require fancy seasonings – coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper is all you need for a delicious steak that's pan seared then finished in the oven and cooked to perfection! I like mine medium rare, but you can cook it to your taste.
It's practically foolproof if you have a meat thermometer, but you can also use the finger test just in case you don't. This starts on the stove and finishes in the oven, so you'll need a heavy oven-safe non-stick skillet, or cast iron skillet to make this. One thing you should keep in mind is you'll want to bring the meat up to room temperature, so let it sit on the counter at least 30 minutes before you're ready to cook. It's perfect with sauteed or roasted vegetables on the side, here I made a quick sauteed garlic broccolini, but you can also serve it with skinny mashed potatoes.
Perfect Filet Mignon for Two
Servings: 2 • Size: 1 steak • Old Points: 6 pts • Points+: 6 pts
Calories: 246 • Fat: 11 g • Carb: 0 g • Fiber: 0 g • Protein: 36 g • Sugar: 0 g
Sodium: 75 mg • Cholesterol: 101 mg
- 2 (6 oz) beef tenderloin filet mignon steaks, trimmed of fat
- olive oil cooking spray (I used my mister)
- kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
Let the steaks rest on the counter to come up to room temperature at least 30 minutes before ready to cook. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray the steak lightly all over with olive oil, then season both side generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
When the oven is ready, heat the skillet over high heat until the pan is very hot. When hot, add the steaks and cook, without moving for 2 1/2 minutes. Turn over and cook an additional 2 to 2-1/2 minutes. Sear the sides of the steaks for about 1 minute so it's browned all over. Place the steaks in the oven for about 4 to 5 minutes, then check them with the meat thermometer inserted into the side of the steak. Remove when the steaks read 125° F for Medium Rare, or 130° F for medium. Let them rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving (meat temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the oven).
