Regular Checks Ensure Food is Safe, Equipment Clean Throughout County
By Ann Marie Ames, The Janesville Gazette, Wis.
Aug. 5–After a thorough hand washing, Roger Eychaner fired off the first of many questions in the convenience store inspection.
"How do you heat the soup?" he asked store manager Bonnie McShane.
She promptly responded that her workers heat it in the microwave to 165 degrees before placing it in the warmer.
That was the correct answer.
But Eychaner, a sanitarian with the Rock County Health Department, asked the same question in a variety of ways about all the hot food, just to be sure. Making workers prove they know how to take care of food or clean equipment is a big part of an annual inspection.
At the serving station, the hot food must be at least 135 degrees. On that day, the chicken noodle soup at Kwik Trip, 505 N. Main St., Edgerton, was 143 degrees.
Although state officials are debating fees for inspections of restaurants, campgrounds, convenience stores, tattoo parlors, farms and other businesses, those changes won't affect the way the Rock County does inspections, Eychaner said.
In 2007, the county issued 1,032 licenses, including 913 restaurant and lodging licenses.
Eychaner inspected the Kwik Trip in late July with a Janesville Gazette reporter and photographer in tow.
Outside the store, Eychaner checked that the ice bins were locked, the Dumpsters closed and the space around the store free of trash that could attract rodents or bugs.
Inside, we introduced ourselves to McShane then donned hairnets and washed our hands. That's the first link in the inspection "chain," Eychaner said.
"If you don't have everything together in the chain, you're going to have more chance of food-borne illnesses," he said.
Eychaner watches for many things that consumers also can look for while they're shopping:
n Gas pumps and softener salt–Lots of gas stations have pallets of water-softener salt stacked between the pumps. But they need to be careful, Eychaner said. If the bags are stacked too close to the pumps, people might set gas cans, trash or feet on them. Then people would be taking home contaminated bags.
— The state requires all refrigerated food be stored below 41 degrees, Eychaner said. That includes food in the kitchen and in the coolers customers can reach. Thermometers are required in every cooler so that it's instantly obvious to anyone who looks if the cooler is not working and customers can avoid food spoiled by exposure to high temperatures.
— Watch the "safe load" line in open coolers and freezers to also avoid spoiled foods. Some freezers have a line marking how high food can be stacked. If food is stacked too high, it will block the cold-air currents that move through the cooler to keep the food frozen.
— Food packaged by employees–such as the three-packs of doughnuts sold at Kwik Trip–must be carefully wrapped and labeled so customers can read the ingredients and nutritional information, Eychaner said. Food that's packaged and labeled by the manufacturer is not something he has to worry about.
— Soda fountains must have buttons, not levers into which customers push their cups. That prevents people from spreading germs by filling a cup, drinking and refilling.
— Kwik Trip's new milkshake machine requires a special variance from the state because it doesn't have parts that can be removed for easy cleaning. That means inspectors grill employees at every Kwik Trip to make sure they know how to sanitize the machine daily. That ensures no cleaning products stay inside the machine and get mixed in with milkshakes.
— In the kitchen, Eychaner looked for overall cleanliness and made sure food was 6 inches off the floor. He checked in the coolers to make sure food that had been opened was labeled with a date. Things such as mayonnaise and ranch dressing are good for a week after they're opened, he said. The dates remind employees to throw perishable condiments out so customers aren't exposed to spoiled ones.
— In the cooler where customers grab sodas and groceries, Eychaner noted the eggs and bacon were stored correctly below the other items. That prevents salmonella from falling onto other foods, he said.
Roger Eychaner, a 20-year veteran inspector with the Rock County Health Department, offered consumers tips for buying safe food:
— Make sure the store or restaurant is clean and well run. That shows that the owners and managers care, he said.
— Make sure that cold food is really cold, and make sure hot food is really hot.
— Watch to see that employees wash their hands. Watch to see if they fiddle with their face or hair while they work.
— Watch to see that employees are healthy, not sneezing or coughing.
— Don't hesitate to report to the manager something you think is unhealthy.

Someone else's war
Phil Kafcaloudes
Based on true events, Someone else's war is a novel that spans the life of the author's maternal grandmother, a reluctant spy and British agent in the Second World War. Olga Stambolis arrived in Athens in 1936 as an out-of-work actress with no money, few friends and a shame that followed her across the world. Her skills as a linguist and mimic lead her into the Greek resistance at the time the country is pulled into the war. Even as the Germans march into Athens, Olga continues to rescue British airmen and sabotage the enemy's vital supply routes. Until the day she is caught.
Meanwhile in Australia, her children are facing their own personal and wartime challenges. One daughter, Nellie, is caught in Darwin as Japan prepares to bomb the town. Through the entwined stories of mother and daughters, we are taken into the events of two countries and two sets of lives from 1916 to 1943.

The main feature of ΛE is that it has the columns of E as fixed points, and thus it provides us with a new criterion to decide whether a generator is a column. Two well known maps (φE and ψE) are also reviewed, in order to compare them with ΛE. Interesting properties of the fixed points of ΛE and Λ2 E are studied. Among others, the fixed points of ΛE (Fix(ΛE)) are proved to be the maximal fuzzy points of (X,E) and the fixed points of Λ2 E coincide with the Image of ΛE. An isometric embedding of X into Fix(ΛE) is established and studied. 2007-09-06T12:42:47Z

The GNU Project is a free software, mass collaboration project, announced on September 27, 1983, by Richard Stallman at MIT. It initiated GNU operating system development in January, 1984. The founding goal of the project was, in the words of its initial announcement, to develop "a sufficient body of free software [...] to get along without any software that is not free." To make this happen, the GNU Project began working on an operating system called GNU ("GNU" is a recursive acronym that stands for "GNU's Not Unix"). This goal of making a free software operating system was achieved in 1992 when the last gap in the GNU system, a kernel, was filled by the third-party Linux kernel being released as Free Software, under version 2 of the GNU GPL. Current work of the GNU Project includes software development, awareness building, political campaigning and sharing of the new material. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: GNU)

For More Information and Travel Options: **** For more information please ask us for the address of our web site *****.
Flying - There are a large number of airlines offering cheap flights to the region. The nearest airports are Vigo (45 mins), Porto (1 hr), Santiago de Compostela (1½ hrs). e.g. Air Portugal (LGW and LHR), Ryanair (STN, LVL, BHX, BRS,LGW), Easyjet (LGW), Vueling (LHR), PGA Airlines, Air Berlin, Air France, SN Brussels Airlines, Hapag-Lloyd Express, Iberia, KLM, Lufthansa, Swiss.
.It is also possible to fly to Lisbon with many airlines, including Monarch from the UK. It will be necessary though to hire a car and drive 4 hours in each direction if you choose this route.
.Ferry - An alternative is a mini-cruise on a ferry. P&O run a service from Portsmouth to Bilbao. Brittany Ferries sail from Plymouth to Santander. The drive to Yavanna is 6-8 hours.
.Train - Fast trains to Vigo (20 minutes from Yavanna) from Barcelona and Madrid including overnight sleepers.
Beaches: Surf Beaches - Within a half an hour drive there are stunning sandy Atlantic surfing beaches. Portugal offers the best warm surfing in Europe with over 500 miles of consistent waves and no shortage of sunshine. Huge sandy beaches offer surf school and lifeguard patrolled areas. There is also a world renowned windsurfing spot at nearby Mindelo. Safe Sheltered Beaches - At the mouth of the Minho River, there are very safe clean sheltered family beaches. These are either at Caminha in Portugal or at Camposancos in Spain, which is accessible either by bridge or ferry. All beaches can be reached in about half an hour. Cafes and restaurants are available at most beaches - they are uncommercialised, small scale and friendly. River Beaches - Only 10 minutes from Yavanna is a sandy beach on the Minho River itself. This is lifeguard patrolled and has a beautiful terraced cafe. There is also wonderful canoeing and fishing possible on the Minho river.
Places to Visit: Within the immediate area, we have some very interesting towns and cities worth visiting:
Porto is Portugal's second city, famous for its port wine trade, is just an hour's drive away. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal. .
Santiago de Compostela is just 1.5 hours away over the border in Spain. It is a city where, according to a legend, the remains of the apostle Saint James were found. Nowadays the stunning city of Santiago is the second most important Catholic Pilgrimage centre, after Rome.
Vigo is the largest city in Galicia, over the border in Spain, and only 45 minutes away. Known as 'The Barcelona of the West'.
Ponte de Lima is a pleasant town named after its famous bridge over the river Lima, with both Medieval and Roman sections.
Lisbon is Portugal's capital city. It's four hour's drive away from Yavanna, but well worth considering for those who want to extend their stay. Lisbon is the westernmost capital in mainland Europe.
Yavanna exceeded any expectation I may have had - in fact it exceeded my imagination. I'm already planning my next trip!
We got incredibly lucky finding Yavanna, with its gorgeous houses, lovely setting and fantastic hosts. We stayed for a week in June, two families with two kids each. The houses are simply done, in great taste. The kitchens have everything you need for cooking at home, and the picnic tables and various eating areas are beautiful. We all loved the pool, the large grassy area, and the gardens. Plus, there's an amazing movie selection, which we watched in the evening or during the occasional rain showers. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful when we wanted to kayak, water ski and go to a local market. All in all, the experience was one of the best we've ever had in our travels and we highly recommend it. We only wish it weren't so far from San Francisco.
We called at very short notice but the English owners of this accommodation very kindly managed to accommodate us between bookings. This was our first visit to Yavanna and although we know this part of Portugal quite well this lovely hidden valley was new to us. The accommodation was truly delightful and of a very high standard indeed. The attention to detail was outstanding - the kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and the beds were of the sort usually found in expensive hotels. Our accommodation had a lovely patio overlooking the landscaped gardens where you could sit and unwind. Although the houses are near to each other the garden layout allows for considerable privacy and peace. You may greet your neighbours round the beautifully designed swimming pool but they might be off visiting the stunning coastline nearby for the day and you will have it all to yourself. We brought back very happy memories of this short visit and we would certainly book to visit there again. It would be lovely to book as a group of friends or a large extended family but it was also lovely for a couple as it was so private and relaxing. Northern Portugal is a beautiful area and the wonderful landscape is matched by the warmth and kindness of the people you meet. This accommodation provides a wonderful base to explore the region and now we have found this wonderful base we will be going back more often.

Yavanna heaven!
Left on 08/05/2011 for a stay in July 2011
I feel very lucky to have had the Yavanna experience for the last 2 years.
If you are looking for a little bit of paradise then this is the place for you. Yavanna is so peaceful and beautiful, with outstanding views across the valley.
The house has been tastefully styled and is worthy of a 5 star rating.
Eunice and Mark are the most hospitable hosts you could wish for, they have a wealth of local knowledge and nothing is too much trouble.
I hope to return to Yavanna many more times and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this idyllic retreat for those who enjoy the finest things in life!
Would you recommend this vacation rental to a friend? Yes
Me and my family stayed here for 14 days in the beginning of June. We were 6 kids (3-14 years) and 6 grown-ups.
We brought 3 cars, which all fit on the parking ground infront of the houses. The rooms were all nice and clean, and well kept. The bathrooms kept an excellent standard. The garden is huge, and has lots of room for the kids to play around on.
The pool area is perhaps the best part of this place, a delicious salt-water pool (no Chlorine) that is also kept very clean.
The hosts live in a house on the premises, and are all very nice people. Without getting intrusive in any way, they look after you and make sure everything is OK. Being English, they were very easy to communicate with, at least for us Scandinavians.
If I am going back to northern Portugal, I wouldn't hesitate to use this facility again!
Beautiful, thoughtfully designed cottage, garden and pool. Wide view across the valley, caring hosts and range of things to do locally and further afield.
A family of five, there was always enough going on, plenty of space and choice for everyone. This including long spells of doing not much in relaxing surroundings. Not one, but two countries to explore on the doorstep, an open coast, broad river, lively markets and late night festival we will not forget
Yavanna is a wonderful warm place in northern Portugal. Eunice and Mark created a perfect atmosphere, where all from 8 - 80 feel at home from the moment you set foot on the property. The garden is lovely, the pool is splendid and the cottages are lovingly decorated and perfectly furnished. Yavanna is also the perfect starting point for day trips: to Porto, Braga, Guimaraes or Spain, or a visit to one of the beaches and the river. We will definitely return, both for the house, location and climate, but also for Eunice and Mark who knew how to help us make the most and more of our stay. Yavanna even better than the pictures on the web.
Yavanna is een heerlijk plekje in het noorden van Portugal. DE eigenaren, Eunice en Mark hebben er een fantastische warme en welkome sfeer gecreeerd waardoor je je meteen thuis voelt. De tuin is heerlijk en ruim opgezet , met tafeltennis en zwembad, een groente tuin waar je je tomaten en sla kunt plukken. De huisjes zijn perfect ingericht, met oog voor detail en luxe. Dagtripjes naar Porto, Braga en Guimaraes zijn goed te doen, Spanje is een must en slechts 10 minuten rijden. de stranden en rivier zijn binnen een half uur tot een uur te bereiken. Wij komen zeker terug, al was het aleen maar vanwege de het kunnen weerzien van Eunice en Mark, die weten hoe je de verwachtingen van vakantiegangers kunt overtreffen. In het echt is het nog beter dan de foto's al doen vermoeden
Yavanna lies in the Minho region in the north-west corner of Portugal only a few miles from the border with the province of Galicia, in Spain, and its village, Fontoura, lies on the Pilgrim's way, the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Small houses and farms are dotted around the lush green rural landscape, surrounded by small fields and grapevines, connected by granite tracks. Beautiful rivers flow into this region from Spain. The river Lima has the historical and beautiful towns of Ponte de Barca, Ponte de Lima and Viana do Castelo on its banks. The nearby Minho has interesting old monuments along its banks including the fortified town of Valenca do Minho, which is only 3 miles from Yavanna. Safe lifeguard patrolled swimming and fishing in the Minho is only 10 minutes from Yavanna. The southern border of the region is another beautiful river, the Douro, as well as the Penedes Geres National Park. The stunning cities of Porto and Santiago de Compostela in Spain are both day trips.
Other Activities: Pottery/Ceramics, Yoga, Cycling and other enjoyable and creative workshops available certain weeks at Yavanna.
Golf: Ponte de Lima (half an hour away) is a par 71, 6005m, including Portugal's longest hole at 622m (par 5).
Quinta da Barca golf resort (half an hour away) is an excellent 9 hole course with stunning views over the Cavado River. Par 31, 2012m.
Estela (one hour away) is built on a 3km stretch of sand dunes is one of the Portuguese golf links that secured a good reputation for itself when it hosted two events in the European Professionals' Circuit. Par 72, 6129m.

I try not to say (or think) "I can't eat that. It's not on my diet." Instead I say "I choose not to eat that today." I usually allow myself one day a week to eat what i want (in moderation of course) and when that day comes around I think about what I really would like to have and often those things that sounded good at the time aren't even what I really want to spend the calories on.

Arcteryx Strato
The ArcTeryx Strato Jacket is totally going to be your best friend on the slopes. This insulating fleece jacket is basically built for snowsports. Warm enough to keep you comfortable in cold conditions, but lightweight enough to keep you on your feet, the ArcTeryx Strato goes easily from the backcountry to the city streets. The Strato Jacket is made from Polartec Thermal Pro Cobble fleece, which is moisture wicking and breathable to help regulate your temperature during strenuous activity.
The Polartec Thermal Pro keeps you warm, but the ArcTeryx Strato has features galore to keep you even more comfortable. I get so comfy in mine, I just fall asleep wherever I am. No I don't, that's a joke. Anyway, check out the gusseted underarms, for example: this feature keeps the jackets from riding up, and letting the cold in. The full front zip with interior laminated windflap keeps out the cold wind. Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish beads water on the surface of the Strato Jacket to help keep you dry in wet or snowy conditions.
Check out this insulating mid-layer fleece for everybody: there's the Men's ArcTeryx Strato Jacket, and Women's ArcTeryx Strato Jacket. If a hoodie is more your style, and you like it when your neck is really warm, check out the Men's ArcTeryx Strato Hoody or Women's ArcTeryx Strato Hoody. The Strato Hoody has all the rad features of the Strato Jacket, plus a comfy hood with laminated brim to maintain its shape and and improve visibility.

A woman named Danielle Perez won two prizes on "The Price Is Right" yesterday . . . a treadmill and a sauna. The only problem is, Danielle lost her LEGS in an accident ten years ago, and uses a WHEELCHAIR.
Naturally that made it awkward when the prizes were revealed, but Drew Carey didn't address it . . . although he seemed to speed through the pricing game. Danielle didn't address it either . . . but she's been Tweeting about it.
She said they don't offer cash equivalents, and the sauna isn't wheelchair accessible. Obviously it was all an unfortunate coincidence . . . but some people think the show should've made sure it DIDN'T happen.
Luckily Danielle threw water on the 'outrage.' She Tweeted, quote, "Oh come on! Isn't it the most hilarious though? If winning it was wrong, I don't want to be right. I'm still cracking up."
She also Tweeted a screenshot of her reaction on the show, with the caption, quote, "When you win a treadmill on national TV, but you have no feet."
One day, people are going to learn that posting something publicly on Facebook means that . . . gasp . . . people can see it.
27-year-old Kaitlyn Walls is a single mom from Dallas, Texas. Earlier this month, she got a job working at a daycare.
But the morning before she started, she posted on Facebook, quote, "I start my new job today, but I absolutely hate working at daycare." Her new bosses saw it . . . and FIRED her before she could even start.
Then a mob of angry mothers on Facebook found out what she'd written and started attacking her, so she tried to clarify, quote, "Lol, it's all good, I just really hate being around a lot of kids."
That's really not an improvement . . . it might actually be worse.
Kaitlyn says she realizes that she shouldn't have vented about her job before she started . . . and if she DOES have issues in the future, she's not going to put them on Facebook. Quote, "I'm not going to post anything . . . no matter how I feel."
This guy took a bad situation and made it into a HILARIOUSLY bad situation . . . so well done, I guess? 44-year-old Steven Shuler of Monrovia, Indiana was at home on Monday when the cops showed up to arrest him for a probation violation.
He managed to climb through a 16-inch hole to hide inside his walls . . . and it WORKED. The cops thought he was out and they left.
Unfortunately for Steven, that's where his good luck ended. He didn't have any way to get OUT of the walls . . . and he wound up stuck there for more than 24 HOURS.
His ex-wife came by the next day and found him . . . so she decided to call for help. The fire department came and got him out of the wall . . . and he was arrested.
Just because YOU love a random animal doesn't mean it loves you back. 18-year-old Austin Hatfield of Wimauma, Florida captured a four-foot cottonmouth snake last week and decided to keep him as a pet. (Cottonmouths are also called water moccasins.) He's been keeping it in a pillowcase in his girlfriend's house. Well . . . a few days ago, he was cuddling with his new pet and decided to give him a kiss on the mouth. And . . . it BIT him.
Cottonmouths are venomous and can be pretty deadly . . . so Austin was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Fortunately, he pulled through and now he's been upgraded to good condition. BUT . . . now we add insult to injury. You need a permit in Florida to catch and keep a cottonmouth snake . . . so Austin is being investigated and could be facing charges.

Product Description
In clear, understandable terms, Robert Wolgemuth spells out seven essentials that serve as the foundation to help you withstand any storm---seven things you can count on no matter what.
Some wonder if religion is only good for the moments of crisis or if it offers something valuable for the day to day. But if turning to God is a good idea when all hell breaks loose, why not turn to Him before the wheels come off?

Publisher's Description
Stephen Covey wrote, "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing." For men and women searching for truth amid the noise and clutter, this principle could never be more crucial. And while the church is tossed about by the same uncertainty, Robert Wolgemuths provocative 7 Things You Better Have Nailed Down Before All Hell Breaks Loose puts a stake in the ground and says, "Heres something you can count on, no matter what." In life you dont rise to the level of your circumstances; you fall to the level of your training. This strong exposition of the foundations of the Christian faith brings a calm, clarity, and confidence to train those who need something certain to claim. The seven things are:
1. God Is God: the Creator-Holy, Sovereign, and Merciful
2. The Bible Is Gods Word
3. Mankind Is Eternally Lost and in Need of a Savior
4. Jesus Christ Died to Redeem Mankind
5. Grace and Faith Are Gifts
6. Belief and Works Are One
7. The Church Is Gods Idea

I think that I am on my way to being ready to have sex with my boyfriend but I am just worried about the whole moaning thing...during masturbation I sometimes moan, but mostly keep it quiet. Are you supposed to moan when having sex? If so, is there a technique to what you are saying or do you just do it?
I'm 19 and have been with my boyfriend (also 19) for a little over two years. In the last year, our relationship has progressed sexually (but both of us have decided not to have intercourse). A few months ago, he performed oral sex on me. I'd given him blowjobs before and he asked if he could reciprocate. Afterward, though, he was really quiet. I got the nerve to him about it. He admitted he didn't like it. A few months passed, and we decided to try it again, to see if his opinion changed at all. Again, he said it wasn't his cup of tea. We decided it was best not to discuss it anymore because it wasn't working out.
I appreciate he at least tried to make an effort to reciprocate, because he said he felt bad for taking more than he gave, and I know he feels really bad he doesn't like it. But at the same time, he still won't do it. It's frustrating for me because I loved the feeling of it and I haven't been fully satisfied with him just fingering me. How do I bring this up after like months without making it sound like I'm upset with him or guilting him into giving me oral sex again? Other than this, we have a very healthy relationship. I love him a lot and he loves me too.
Hey! I'm 19, and from a very conservative background-Republic, Christian, the whole shebang. I'm a freshman at a pretty liberal college now, and I admit that I've gone the tiniest bit nuts with my newfound freedom. Before coming to college, I'd only made out with three guys - all of whom were Christian, all of whom I was dating at the time. But last weekend, I went home with a guy I didn't know, and I gave him a blow job and he fingered me. I was very adamant about NOT having sex, because I know I want that to be with someone I love.
I'm feeling pretty guilty now, though. Everyone would be so disappointed back home, because it was made clear to me that EVERYTHING is off limits till marriage. It felt great at the time, but do you think it's bad because I didn't know him at all?
So I am 17, and I am a gay boy. I was talking to this guy for a while over the internet, we met, and we both really hit it off. Well one thing that I didn't really notice is how feminine his body was. Well we were texting, and he told me that he was a FTM (female to male) transgender individual. The issue I am having is that I really like this guy, but I don't like females. And while he has a female anatomy, he still acts completely male. So I was wondering what a smart way to experiment, to see if it would work, would be, while at the same time not hurting him. Please let me know... I really like this guy, but hate his body parts.
A little more background: I am a pretty sexual person, so it makes a kind of a big deal to me. I can watch straight porn and enjoy it. I can imagine having sex with a vagina. I never have experimented with a girl. I have always been with boys, and have always acted as the "bottom."
I'm a 17 year old male currently involved in a relationship of four months. I'm a virgin, and I am also "questioning" about my sexuality, but my girlfriend is unaware. There was a time when I would consider myself bisexual, because I am attracted, physically, to males but not emotionally, but I'm still not entirely sure that I am bisexual. My girlfriend is much more experienced than I am when it comes to sex, but she has never gone "all the way" and she wants to do this for the first time with me. I want to really bad as well, and we plan to soon, but I can't shake the feeling that I will be doing something wrong if I have sex with her and I'm still not fully comfortable or aware of my sexual orientation, or that I want to be in this relationship forever. I would however like to lose my virginity for the first time with her. Would it be wrong if I am still considering myself questioning and we still went all the way?
I'm 13 and I really need some help. I have been talking to this guy for ages on my phone and texting him. We have Skyped, and I know he might be 'one of those older people who have random children acting for them and they have voice filters' etc, but he has Facebook and I know loads of people who know him, but I just haven't met him. He is really nice and we both wanna meet each other... We decided we were gonna meet and I'm really excited. He says he wants to finger me, and he want me to give him head, that's fine because I have done it before so all's cool. Then when he asked if I wanted to have sex with him, I got creeped. Just need someone to say if I'm doing the right thing or not.
As a sex educator, I don't define sex as only being about penis-in-vagina intercourse, for a whole lot of reasons.
For one, I know that a lot of people (including myself sometimes!) have or have had satisfying, full sexual lives without intercourse, either because they're not at intercourse yet in life or a given relationship, it's off the table for a while for some reason, or because they're in relationships where penis-in-vagina sex just isn't an option or possibility in the first place. I also know, as a sex educator, that some or all of the physical and emotional things that can happen with penis-in-vagina intercourse can and typically do happen with other kinds of sex, whether we're talking about emotional feelings or experiences, the human sexual response cycle, the expression of sexuality in general or possible outcomes like STIs or pregnancy. The way I define sex as a sex educator is like so:

I'm 16 years old and a virgin and I'm not exactly sure how to masturbate? That might sound weird but I'm just not sure how I'm supposed to do it. I've tried fingering myself but it always kind of freaks me out and I stop and it never felt that good anyway. The thought of my fingers being inside myself just weirds me out, even though I know it's not weird but it is for me. I guess what I'm wondering is, is this normal? And how am I "supposed" to masturbate if it all seems weird to me?

Okay, so I'm still on the quest for the best CD solution for DS. Thanks to some suggestions here, I've revisited fitteds and prefolds and cloth/fleece and lo, his skin DOES look better. I'm not sure what's changed (or whether he could have been in fitteds all along and it was the cover that was the problem - argh!).
So at home, I have him in a fitted or prefold and either fleece pants or a wool soaker combined with EC. He still gets a bit red, but he's lost the rash in his leg creases and on his buttocks. Yay! I'm fine with our home stash in terms of covers.
For going out though, I'm apprehensive about using fleece/wool. We live rural, so any car trip is at least 30 minutes - that's a lot of compression for fleece and wool. Is there such a thing as a cover that doesn't have exposed PUL AND has a material that doesn't get wet? Flip covers aren't working, SWWs have given him the burning rash. I want something very breathable, but I'm not sure if a non-PUL, non-wool or fleece cover exists. I can use a pocket when we're out, but if there's another option I'd like to explore it.
Bonus prefold question: he's in Premium sized prefolds right now. I use a newspaper fold, and have to fan out the top to get it to meet the back - it's beginning to be a little tricky to get them around him properly. Are toddler-sized prefolds much bigger? And is it even worth getting any or am I going to start cursing prefolds soon anyway because of toddler wriggles? (i.e., should I be on the lookout for sales on fitteds?)
Many thanks for any thoughts!
Bummis and Dappi both make a nylon pull-on cover. They are thin and squishy (they look poofy on but since they are one layer of nylon, they squish really well under clothes). I've never had any compression leaking with them and I don't think there's any PUL in them since they are nylon.
For prefolds, you might want to look at Green Mountain Diapers Brown-Edged prefolds.(Scroll down a bit - there is a picture of the GMD prefolds against the original green-edged and blue-edged prefolds.) They are the same length, from what I can tell, as blue premium prefolds but they are wider. When mine got wiggly, I used a mix of easy-to-put-on diapers (fitteds or pockets) and prefolds. The prefolds weren't too hard to get on, but once in a while it was, so it was nice to have a fitted on hand.

Imse Vimse Organic Cotton are just amazing. My 2 DDs are rashy too and the IV OC cover was the only one that didn't give them that welty rash around the thighs. It has a tiny bit of exposed PUL on the gusset but it never seemed to irritate them, don't know if it was the placement or if it's a better grade of PUL. I've tried most of the covers out there and the IVs are the best I've found. They also do a wool cover that is fabulous and might actually last a car ride if there was enough diaper underneath!
these diapers on Etsy are a bit bulky, but have no exposed PUL - they are a pocket diaper. it is fleece on the inside and it feels like a flannel on the outside.
I find they work great, it comes with a terry looking trifold to stuff with, but you could use a prefold instead if you prefer. Plus I think her prices are really reasonable.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I've been in contact with Bummis to find out more about their pull-up nylon pant (their Bummis Original wrap is also nylon). I'm going to give one of each a try. And I'm going to look at these other options too. I wish it was easier to get GMD prefolds in Canada.. I am going to have to see if they can ship to friends in the US if they're coming up soon.
Many thanks again,
The Wonder wrap! it has no exposed pul. its a gooder. http://www.rootedinstincts.ca/item_191/Wonder-Wraps.htm - this company is in Regina, SK, Canada!
We also use Thirsties and Motherease covers, i guess they both have exposed PUL tho...
However, I am finding that the prefold diapers are the only ones in my collection that are not stinky now... the fitted diapers are really stinky even tho i have stripped them. They are second hand tho...
its good to have some around! We have a big variety of covers and insides.
definitely get some bigger prefolds... and a couple fitteds!

Get a nylon cover. I have one plain white medium snapping cover that Blue Penguin used to make. That would be good.
Don't get toddler prefolds - way too big. Try the ooey fold (check youtube) and/or toddler snappis.
Nylon covers are great, Imse Vimse are wonderful (but expensive), Blue Penguin makes an Elan cover that is cotton with treated fibers that is very very soft.
Try the prefolds at Nicki's diapers, they fit just like GMD's, as do the ones at Diaper Junction. All more square prefolds than long. A regular "large" instead of "x-large" (toddler) would work with those.

Thank you for your suggestions - I'd missed that there were some new comments.I have contacted Bummis to find out more about their nylon pant - and their original Bummis cover is also nylon. I'm going to try them both, and I'll look at the other options here too.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests
I am interested in improving health and developmental outcomes for children born to immigrant families. Specifically, I am investigating the relationship of parental limited English proficiency to child health and developmental outcomes, particularly among children with special health care needs (such as children born with very low birth weight).

Parental limited English proficiency and health outcomes for children with special health care needs: a systematic review.
Academic pediatrics
2014; 14 (2): 128-136
One in 10 US adults of childbearing age has limited English proficiency (LEP). Parental LEP is associated with worse health outcomes among healthy children. The relationship of parental LEP to health outcomes for children with special health care needs (CSHCN) has not been systematically reviewed.To conduct a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature examining relationships between parental LEP and health outcomes for CSHCN.PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Social Science Abstracts, bibliographies of included studies. Key search term categories: language, child, special health care needs, and health outcomes.US studies published between 1964 and 2012 were included if: 1) subjects were CSHCN; 2) studies included some measure of parental LEP; 3) at least 1 outcome measure of child health status, access, utilization, costs, or quality; and 4) primary or secondary data analysis.Three trained reviewers independently screened studies and extracted data. Two separate reviewers appraised studies for methodological rigor and quality.From 2765 titles and abstracts, 31 studies met eligibility criteria. Five studies assessed child health status, 12 assessed access, 8 assessed utilization, 2 assessed costs, and 14 assessed quality. Nearly all (29 of 31) studies used only parent- or child-reported outcome measures, rather than objective measures. LEP parents were substantially more likely than English-proficient parents to report that their CSHCN were uninsured and had no usual source of care or medical home. LEP parents were also less likely to report family-centered care and satisfaction with care. Disparities persisted for children with LEP parents after adjustment for ethnicity and socioeconomic status.Parental LEP is independently associated with worse health care access and quality for CSHCN. Health care providers should recognize LEP as an independent risk factor for poor health outcomes among CSHCN. Emerging models of chronic disease care should integrate and evaluate interventions that target access and quality disparities for LEP families.

Global Health Training in Pediatric Residency: A Qualitative Analysis of Faculty Director Insights
2012; 12 (3): 238-244
Interest and participation in global health (GH) has been growing rapidly among pediatric residents. Residency programs are responding by establishing formal GH programs. We sought to define key insights in GH education from pediatric residency programs with formal GH tracks.Seven model pediatric residency programs with formal GH training were identified in 2007. Faculty directors representing 6 of these programs participated in expert interviews assessing 6 categories of questions about GH tracks: understanding how GH tracks establish partnerships with global sites; defining organizational and financing structure of GH tracks; describing resident curriculum and pre-trip preparation; describing clinical experiences of residents in GH tracks; defining evaluation of residents and GH tracks; and defining factors that affect development and ongoing implementation of GH tracks. Data were analyzed using qualitative methodology.All programs relied on faculty relationships to establish dynamic partnerships with global sites. All programs acknowledged resident burden on GH partners. Strategies to alleviate burden included improving resident supervision and providing varying models of GH curricula and pre-trip preparation, generally based on core residency training competencies. Support and funding for GH programs are minimal and variable. Resident experiences included volunteer patient care, teaching, and research. Commitment of experienced faculty and support from institutional leadership facilitated implementation of GH programs.Directors of 6 model GH programs within pediatric residencies provided insights that inform others who want to establish successful GH partnerships and resident training that will prepare trainees to meet global child health needs.

Successful renal transplantation in high-risk small children with a completely thrombosed inferior vena cava
2006; 82 (9): 1148-1152
Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is generally a contraindication to renal transplantation in small children because of the technical difficulty and limitations in allograft venous outflow drainage that risk graft thrombosis.The records of six consecutive children (9.9-27.4 kg) with end-stage renal disease and thrombosed IVCs were reviewed. Small deceased donor renal allografts were utilized in all cases where immediate posttransplant venous renal outflow would theoretically not exceed the drainage capacity of the iliac or adjacent pelvic collateral veins.There is 100% patient survival with two patients returning to dialysis at seven and three years posttransplantation. There were no surgical complications or delayed graft function. Postoperatively, progressive renal vein and simultaneous iliac venous enlargement was observed in five of six recipients concomitant with renal allograft enlargement. In these patients, maximum renal volume achieved was between 152 and 275 ml and last recorded Schwartz glomerular filtration rates ranged from 67 to 118 ml/min. The sixth allograft had an early, severe rejection episode that limited renal growth and attainment of good renal function. All patients demonstrated resumption of growth rates commensurate with age but without significant catch-up growth.A small deceased donor kidney can provide freedom from dialysis and better quality of life for small children with IVC thrombosis during an age when dialysis treatment is difficult and the complications of the thrombosed IVC may compromise life. Good renal function was attained in patients without rejection episodes. In those with rejection, our approach allowed for patient growth during allograft function, providing a bridge for a repeat transplant.

Kinsterna Hotel
Agios Stefanos, Monemvasia, Peloponnese, Greece
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Between the island paradise of the Cyclades and the chic boutiques of the capital, it's no wonder the international traveler has scant attention left for some of Greece's lesser-known destinations. One imagines, however, that fans of these lesser-known destinations like it that way. Every booking in Santorini is one more person with whom you won't have to share Kinsterna, a thirteenth-century estate converted into a boutique hotel, a few miles down the Peloponnese coast from the medieval citadel of Monemvasia.
Not that there's much risk of it feeling crowded, even at capacity. The style effortlessly combines historic architecture and contemporary interior design, and Kinsterna's twenty-seven rooms and suites combine the better points of the monastic life — naturally soundproof stone walls, picturesque timber construction — with the sort of worldly pleasures today's luxury traveler demands: flat-screen TVs, modern furnishings and decadent bathrooms.
"Kinsterna" is Byzantine for cistern, and water understandably features prominently. The old cistern itself is the centerpiece of the building, with its cantilevered seating platforms hanging over the water's edge; farther on down the hill is the spring-fed swimming pool, and the heart of the old mansion conceals an elaborate and stylish spa complex.
How to get there:
Kinsterna is approximately four hours' drive from Athens. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange airport transfers.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- A bottle of Kinsterna Boutique house wine from the property's privately owned vineyards
- Complimentary bottle of extra virgin olive oil from the property's estate
- Complimentary first refill at the mini-bar
