I turned my kids around too early and I regret it. Sure, they're fine today but I was not educated and grateful I wasn't in an accident while they were little.
For those with "car seat screamers" who are still in infant seats, try moving them to a rear-facing convertible. They may be lying back to far, looking at too much ceiling.

I turned my son forward the day after his 1st birthday. I wanted to keep him rear facing for much longer, but he was so uncomfortable. The law here is up till 20lbs and 1 year that have to be rear facing. Well, Asher's been at least 20lbs since he was about 6 months old and he's tall for his age too. He was all scrunched up in his seat. Now that he's turned around he's much more comfortable (and loves that he can actually see what's going on!).
You should check You Tube videos and should turn your son back around. The AAP recommends 2 yrs now (and CPST's recommend rf/ing for much longer)-the 1yr/20 lbs rule is totally outdated and horribly unsafe for your son.

Travelling by road in Nepal is hair-raising, but the destination is worthwhile
The tiny mountain nation of Nepal has long held an irresistible allure for travellers from all around the world. Crouched between the gigantic wall of the Himalayas and the deep jungles of the Indian plains, it's a land of snowy peaks and Sherpas, long-haired yaks and legendary yetis, sophisticated monasteries and mesmerising mantras.
Chitwan National Park, Nepal's first, is one of the country's natural wonders. Officially a four-hour drive south of Kathmandu, the journey often takes far longer as the roads wind their way up and around mountains.
As our group of 13 squeezes into the mini bus, we immediately realise there is no space for our luggage. That apparently goes on top of the bus, where it is hand tied by the driver and his bus boy.
Driving in Nepal requires skill and nerves of steel. With the hand of every single driver almost permanently on the horn - no one naps for even a minute or even dreamily enjoys the scenery.
Apparently, while vehicles should stay on the left of the road, this is at the discretion of the driver, who can pass anywhere and at anytime. Honking before you pass someone means "I'm going to pass you, watch for me". Honking several times before passing means "I can't go through, move over". In the big city, horns are to show impatience and disapproval. The fact that here, the sound is both courtesy and message, comforts me a little but I'm still gripping the seat when we arrive at our destination.
Chitwan National Park, recognised as a Unesco Natural Heritage Site in 1984, is at the foot of the Himalayas. It is one of the few remaining undisturbed vestiges of the Terai region, which formerly extended over the foothills of India and Nepal. In the old days, Chitwan was a favourite hunting ground for Nepal's ruling class during the winter seasons.
"This park is home to single-horned rhinoceros and is also one of the last refuges of the Bengal tiger," says our guide.
Children are giggling and pointing at the elephant while waiting for their turns to ride on its back. The park officer tells us to be as quiet as we can while the elephant is walking through the jungle.
This is not the first time I've been on elephant back and I'm always amazed at how different each experience is! This time, the seat is like a big square basket, and it can accommodate four, one person on each corner.
The rhythmic movement of the pachyderm makes the children scream again but they soon get used to the pace and enjoy the ride.
We are supposed to cross the stream to another side of the jungle but some elephants decide that they need a bath instead. They sway their trunks, spraying water all over their bodies and move their tails in great joy.
My elephant sticks to the trail. We all try hard to keep our voice as low as possible, except for our mahout who calls out to his friends on other elephants and speaks loudly in Nepalese. Then he orders the elephant to walk away from the group. I look around trying to spot some wild animals. I see peacocks, wild birds, monkeys and barking deer but no signs of a rhino or tiger. With every step, my heart pumps faster, hoping that if we walk far enough from other elephants, we might be able to spot the rhino or even a tiger.
While roots and leaves are the bane of walkers in national parks, on elephant back, it's branches that prove to be our worst enemy and as our pachyderm passes graciously through the thick branches, those on the back have to duck quickly to prevent being clobbered,
We are busy ducking when our mahout whispers, "Rhino, rhino". A small sprig smacks me on the head but I am too excited to duck. In the bush, a one horned rhino with armour-like skin is staring at us with wide eyes. As the elephant walks closer, the ancient-looking animal looks up, as if greeting an old friend. They exchange looks then the elephant snorts in farewell before walking away.
The magic moment quickly passes but the great joy of seeing one of the most beautiful animals in the world more than compensates for that long and scary road trip.
Tips and tricks
>> Don't panic when you hear several hard bangs on the bus as it moves out of the parking space. The bus boy is letting the driver know he should stop before hitting another car.
>> Do relieve your bladder at every planned stop or you might end up being forced to use a very basic and filthy toilet along the road. Also keep some tissue with you and a clean hankie to hold over your nose.
>> Prepare your own toiletries and body lotion since many hotels in Nepal do not provide them in your room. A pair of slippers in your luggage will guarantee you will walk comfortably in your hotel room.
>> Tap water is not safe to drink. Always drink bottled water or else you may spoil your whole trip.

The Huddle: The Broncos O-Line, Sprinting Receivers, and Post-Bane PittsburghJason Miller/Getty Images
1. The Broncos' O-line shuffle
Usually, when your football team has a Hall of Fame quarterback coming off multiple procedures to fuse parts of his neck together, it's best to have everything sure'd up along that offensive line. More than anything, continuity is the key to offensive line play, and Denver had the benefit last season of a unit that remained intact for all 16 games. That and the need to keep Peyton Manning on his feet are what make today's news of right guard Chris Kuper's broken arm troubling. No one makes his offensive line look better in pass protection than Manning, but no team wants to start the shuffle up front in mid-August. Manny Ramirez is listed as Kuper's backup, and the last time we saw him — in spring training with the A's — it looked like he'd lost a step. How the Broncos deal with Kuper going down will go a long way. Because, ya know, parts of his neck fused together.
2. A bright spot in Pittsburgh
For most of this summer, it felt like Bane was in charge of football in Pittsburgh. Mike Wallace seemed committed to his holdout. Ben Roethlisberger had a slight tear in his rotator cuff. And Antonio Brown and Ike Taylor were a bit too inspired by Olympic boxing.
Well, it sounds like Brown and Taylor made up over breakfast (I know most of my morning-after reconciliations have come with breakfast burritos), and the news today is that Mike Wallace will be back with the team for Week 1. With Rashard Mendenhall on the PUP and Isaac Redman still a bit of a question mark, Roethlisberger will need every receiving outlet the Steelers can put together. Wallace gives Pittsburgh an offensive element that few teams in the league have, and combined with the expectations for Brown after a big 2011, they make up most of the Steelers offense.
3. The latest track to football leap
Jeff Demps, formerly of the Florida Gators football team, and more recently, the silver-medal 4×100 Olympic relay team, has apparently figured out that the Olympics take place every four years. The do-everything back and kick-return specialist has reportedly signed with an agent and is set to pursue a career in the NFL.
Demps is the latest in the line of track stars who've made the jump to the NFL — Willie Gault is the one that comes to mind — and it should be interesting to see what team is willing to give him a shot, and in what capacity. Two years ago, the idea of using Demps as a kick returner would be a given, but with the change in kickoff rules, the value of the position has never been lower. Still, with the increased need for space players on offense, it'd be a surprise to not see him catch on somewhere.
4. Larry Fitzgerald's lady troubles
With the quarterback situation in Arizona, no one would blame Larry Fitzgerald if he were longing for happier times. Yet when asked by Jim Corbett of USA Today whether he considered what life would be like had Kurt Warner not retired, Fitzgerald said he doesn't. "I try not to let my mind go there," he said. "It's like laying in bed with your wife, thinking about an old girlfriend. It's not fair.'"
It's strange to think of Larry Fitzgerald's career as a disappointment, because in most ways it's not. As Corbett notes, Fitzgerald is poised to be the youngest player in NFL history to reach 700 receptions. He and the Johnsons comprise the most talented trio of wide receivers in football. Still, even at age 29, it's already starting to feel like Fitzgerald will be a case of what might've been, and by no fault of his own. It's John Navarre's. And Richard Bartel's. Or any of the other unremarkable quarterbacks that Corbett lists. Fitzgerald managed 80 catches by way of the Kevin Kolb–John Skelton combo last season, the lowest per-game average since his rookie season. It's a career that will likely end in Canton, but for players like Fitzgerald, even the Hall of Fame doesn't seem like enough. It may not be fair for him to think of better days, but neither is the possibility that an all-timer may never get the chance to show it.

How BYU, Utah and USU's opponents fared in week four
Last Week: Beat Air Force, 56-23
Up Next: at Texas State (2-1)
The Cowboys offense ran wild over the Falcons in Colorado Springs. Quarterback Brett Smith passed for 373 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 138 yards and another touchdown.
Wyoming head coach Dave Christensen was right to be proud of his kids.
"I want to say that we have one unbelievable football team. And I love these kids...I have a team full of guys that give so much in all areas of their lives," Christensen told the Casper Star-Tribune. "And I want to recognize that."
The Cowboys look like a top-tier team within the Mountain West Conference.

Interesting article on CBSsports that gives you the current bowl predictions and I am guessing they didnt like how both Utah and BYU played since they are not showing either team in their list. I can post the link but it is easy to find under cbssports collegefootball bowls prediction tabs.

To look at the opponents win/loss record will become less meaningful for Utah and Utah State as conference begins. Consider this; When Oregon plays Stanford a currently ranked number 2 team plays a currently ranked number 5 team yet one has to lose. So for teams in conferences their opponents playing each other will lead to a 50% win record. Kinda distorts the analysis of strength of schedule!

bigirish, UR means unranked. Should've clarified that, my fault. The first one is AP ranking, the second Coaches' Poll ranking, and the third the Sagarin rating. Apparently a few people found it helpful, sorry I didn't make it clear for you.

So it looks like the Anae offense is going to still try to perfect something that seems rather static and uncreative. Can that get better just by execution? That was my beef with him before he left - he seemed to push the same scheme after other teams had figured it out, without adding some surprise value to it. It seems he has sacrificed a lot of wrinkles to the Go Fast Go Hard, which hasn't really made a lot of difference for other defenses. He said he was going to keep this offense simple - and simple it is, too simple, and our opponents get it. Two non productive runs into the stacked up middle, and then a 30/70 chance of a pass working. I know I'm generalizing, but against a good defense like Utah, and without a consistent offense, we got stopped. Sure, a few plays or mistakes could have made the difference. We were better in stats. Did our offense lose confidence in the blue zone? I hope the coaches work on that a lot this week - and give Ammon Olson a chance to show his passing. We should use both those guys rather than loyally sticking to a qb who might not be as two dimensional as we thought.

CHICAGO, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Second Harvest Heartland was named the 2014 Member of the Year at the Feeding America National Executive Directors' Forum that took place last week in St. Louis. The award is given to the year's most outstanding food bank of the more than 200 food banks across the nation in the Feeding America network.
Judges selected the St. Paul food bank because of its exceptional work over the past year, in particular, the food bank's commitment to community collaboration and raising awareness in the Twin Cities area on the issue of hunger. They were also cited for their efforts in increasing SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) outreach and application assistance among those in need and their commitment to bringing more fresh fruits and vegetables to families in the area. The food bank was also recognized for strong fundraising and mobilizing volunteers who committed more than 130,000 hours in 2013, or the equivalent of 63 full-time employees.
"Second Harvest Heartland is always looking for ways to understand how to best serve their clients and their community," said Bob Aiken, CEO of Feeding America, the nation's leading hunger relief charity. "With strong internal leadership, high brand awareness and a comprehensive, sustainable fundraising strategy, Second Harvest Heartland is truly a leader in our Network. President and CEO Rob Zeaske and his remarkable team are well deserving of this great honor. Their effort to help feed the hungry in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and their contribution to our mission is truly inspiring."

Raising Taxes on Corporations that Pay Their CEOs Royally and Treat Their Workers Like Serfs
Robert Reich posted on his Facebook timeline a re-emphasis of the 2014 article Raising Taxes on Corporations that Pay Their CEOs Royally and Treat Their Workers Like Serfs.
Until the 1980s, corporate CEOs were paid, on average, 30 times what their typical worker was paid. Since then, CEO pay has skyrocketed to 280 times the pay of a typical worker; in big companies, to 354 times.
The proposed legislation, SB 1372, sets corporate taxes according to the ratio of CEO pay to the pay of the company's typical worker. Corporations with low pay ratios get a tax break.Those with high ratios get a tax increase.
For example, if the CEO makes 100 times the median worker in the company, the company's tax rate drops from the current 8.8 percent down to 8 percent. If the CEO makes 25 times the pay of the typical worker, the tax rate goes down to 7 percent.
I don't see why a company should get a tax break at over a 30:1 ratio. Certainly not at 100:1. Companies should not get rewarded for doing what they ought to do in an ordinary way. They need to be penalized for not doing what they ought to do. They should certainly not even be considered for some sort of reward unless they do something extraordinarily good.
Our politicians, including Hillary Clinton, immediately jump to the idea of some corporate tax break as the solution for every problem. The share of taxes paid by corporations is already far lower than it used to be. We need to think more about my principle of using tax penalties for bad behavior, ordinary taxes for good behavior, and then, if really need be, tax incentives for extraordinarily good behavior that needs to be encouraged.

Short Cuts
St. Raymond of Pennafort, Patron Saint of Canonists (Feast day - January 7) Born in Spain, St. Raymond was a relative of the King of Aragon. From childhood he had a tender love and devotion to the Blessed Mother. He finished his studies at an early age, and became a famous teacher. He then gave up all his honors and entered the Order of the Dominicans. St. Raymond was very humble and very close to God. He did much penance and was so good and kind that he won many sinners to God. With King James of Aragon and St. Peter Nolasco he founded the Order of Our Lady of Ransom. The brave religious of this Order devoted themselves to saving poor Christians captured by the Moors.
Once he went with King James to the Island of Majorca to preach about Jesus. King James was a man of great qualities, but he let himself be ruled by passions. There on the Island, too, he was giving bad example. The Saint commanded him to send the woman away. The King said he would, but he did not keep his promise. So St. Raymond decided to leave the Island. The King declared he would punish any ship captain who brought the Saint back to Barcelona. Putting all his trust in God, Saint Raymond spread his cloak upon the water, tied up one corner of it to a stick for a sail, made the Sign of the Cross, stepped onto the cloak, and sailed along for six hours until he reached Barcelona. This miracle moved the King. He was sorry for what he had done, and he became a true follower of St. Raymond. St. Raymond was one hundred years old at the time of his death.

Points tabulations had entered Jamie McMurray's mid-race calculus by May, as he ran mid-pack in the final 30 laps at Talladega.
Last time Panthers head coach visited the shop veteran driver McMurray won the Sprint All-Star race.
Jamie McMurray looked to cap-off a strong weekend with a top-10 finish, but a late race mechanical issue dropped the team from contention resulting in a 26th-place finish. Kyle Larson's weekend started off well, pacing the field in the initial practice, but ended in a 31st-place finish on Sunday.
Kyle Larson led the field to the green flag Saturday night, but a significant tire rub forced Larson to finish 35th. Jamie McMurray encountered handling issues throughout the night causing a 14th place finish.
After a rain delay of 3 hours, 34 minutes, Jamie McMurray survived an action-packed race to capture a 15th-place finish. Kyle Larson was forced to retire early and credited with a 39th place finish following a multi-car wreck on Lap 103.
Staff and patients at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center received a special surprise on July 2: a visit from Jamie McMurray.
Kyle Larson admits that Ganassi has at times been extremely critical. But that's not a bad thing, the 22-year-old said.
It's just a publicity day at IMS but on the oval Larson is still taking in lessons. In a few weeks he'll return to Indianapolis for the 2015 Brickyard 400.
Jamie McMurray overcame an early tire issue to narrowly miss the top-10 with an 11th place finish in the Toyota/SaveMart 350. Kyle Larson had a strong run but ltimately experienced handling issues late in the race, resulting in a 15th place finish.

The Global Fund cited the broad successes of its close partner, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, also known as PEPFAR, which today marked its tenth Anniversary.
U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry announced today that the one-millionth baby will be born HIV-free this month due to PEPFAR-supported prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs.
This announcement was something the world could only dream of ten years ago when PEPFAR was created, Secretary Kerry said. Over the years, science has produced more effective anti-retroviral regimens and these advances, when combined with lessons learned from years of program implementation, have enabled more effective delivery of PMTCT services.
The Global Fund works closely with PEPFAR in many countries, targeting investments to support national programs to fight HIV and strongly encouraging country ownership and shared responsibility.
The success of PEPFAR, as well as efforts by the entire global community, including the great work done by the Global Fund, represents in truth a victory for the human spirit," Secretary Kerry said. "And with the Global Fund replenishment happening this year, now is the time for all donors to join with the United States to support and strengthen the fund. The fight against HIV and AIDS shows what we can accomplish when we make the effort together, join hands, overcome the ideology and the politics, and really dedicate our hearts to win.
Secretary Kerry also stated that, according to an updated analysis by PEPFAR, 13 countries are at the programmatic tipping point in their AIDS epidemic - the point where the annual increase in adults on treatment is greater than the number of annual new adult HIV infections.
Secretary Kerry said that the remarkable progress is thanks to the combined and coordinated efforts of all partners in the fight against global AIDS. By encouraging strong national leadership, and by making joint efforts, all partners are working together to move beyond this tipping point.

"From beginning to end our experience with Captain Bob aboard SUNLUVER was outstanding. Captain Bob is a very gracious owner/host and this Lagoon 440 is very well appointed. We jumped on this listing because we're shopping for a catamaran and couldn't resist this opportunity to stay on one and sail it. Captain Bob met us at SUNLUVER, showed us around, and told us about the many amenities available to us at the resort marina. We agreed to charter her for seven hours on our second full day when the winds and weather were forecast to be the most cooperative. The winds did not cooperate but we had a very enjoyable day. SUNLUVER is very comfortable underway and the snorkeling was amazing. We highly recommend this property."Guest: B and E Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 22, 2015View listing

ARTICLES: Pressure builds against ads directed at children

Pressure builds against ads directed at children
By Joseph Pereira and Audrey Warren
Wall Street Journal
Health and children's advocates are turning up the volume on calls for
tighter restrictions on television ads aimed at kids. Stoking their efforts
are growing concerns over obesity and research indicating that young viewers
are especially susceptible to commercial messages.
Last month, the American Psychological Association called for sharp federal
restrictions on commercials aimed at children younger than 8. Also last
month, the Kaiser Family Foundation fingered TV watching and TV ads as prime
suspects in rising juvenile-obesity rates. And at a recent U.S. Senate
subcommittee hearing, the debate over the mass media's role in obesity grew
so heated that lawmakers are considering a follow-up hearing.
Now the American Academy of Pediatrics, the APA and other health care groups
plan to step up lobbying for more limits on ads. An organization of groups
critical of youth advertising, called Stop Commercial Exploitation of
Children, has launched a petition drive calling on the Federal Trade
Commission or Government Accounting Office to review the oversight of
marketing to children.
``We think it's time for the government to take a real hard look at the
industry's practices,'' says Susan Linn, a psychiatry instructor at Harvard
Medical School and head of the foundation-supported group. Linn cites
estimates that companies spend $15 billion a year on marketing to children.
Critics point to common themes in many kid-focused ads. They often rely on
cartoon characters that young children recognize, such as Scooby-Doo, to
sell snacks or sugared cereal. Many of the ads appeal to their young
targets' rebellious impulses. Recent spots for Kraft Foods Inc.'s
Lunchables, for example, shows kids in crowded classrooms using the product
like a video-game control to erase a pop quiz from the blackboard or
fast-forward the hands of the clock. The ads end with, ``You're in
In a spot for Kellogg Co.'s French Toast Pop-Tarts, a boy enters a diner
filled with unattractive adults, orders Pop-Tarts and is instantly served.
In a Kellogg spot for Eggo French Toaster Sticks, a guy in a French toast
suit bursts from a car, leading police and a kid on a backyard chase. A
commercial for Cap'n Crunch Choco Donuts, from PepsiCo's Quaker Oats, shows
the captain crashing a ship into a swimming pool, sending up a shower of
chocolate doughnuts, milk and a woman in a bathing suit.
``Usually grown-ups are just stupid and stand in the way of what kids want''
in these ads, says Diane Levin, an education professor at Wheelock College,
Boston. ``The idea is to create,'' she said, ``a sort of premature
adolescent rebellion among kids.''
Marketers -- and not just those of kids foods -- see a major threat brewing.
``Momentum, not just in the U.S., but in Europe as well, is building and
we're watching developments very closely,'' says Tom Conley, president of
the Toy Industry of America, a trade group. Strategy XXI Group Ltd., a New
York consulting firm is working for the toy-industry group to track efforts
to limit youth ads in nearly 20 counties.
``As an industry, we strongly reject the claims that advertising causes
childhood obesity and the related premise that new government restrictions
or bans on advertising to children should be imposed,'' said Bob Liodice,
chief executive of the Association of National Advertisers, who testified at
the Senate hearings.
Instead of governmental intervention, ``parents must learn to say no more
frequently to their children,'' says Dan Jaffe, head of ANA's lobbying
office in Washington, warning, ``Any ban or restriction could bring
children's programming on free TV to an end.''
Current restrictions in the U.S., enforced by the Federal Communications
Commission under the 1990 Children's Television Act, limit ads on children's
programs to no more than 10.5 minutes per half hour on weekends and 12
minutes an hour on weekdays. An industry-established group, the Children's
Advertising Review Unit has been designated by the FTC since 1978 to be a
self-regulating body, reviewing ads and claims targeted to children.
Tightening existing limits would take a law enacted by Congress or a change
in administrative rules by the FTC or another agency, though any such
measures would face fierce opposition from advertisers.
Many advertisers say they have no desire to set kids against authority
figures with their ads. Kellogg says it stands by the nutritional value of
Cinnamon Marshmallow Scooby-Doo cereal and that cartoon characters are an
appropriate way to help young consumers distinguish brands. The French Toast
Pop-Tarts spot is meant to contrast generations, but no commercial is meant
to show any group in a negative light, says Celeste Clark, a company
spokeswoman. ``We are very sensitive to making sure the commercial messages
aren't disparaging in any way.''
Kraft says its Lunchables ads aren't meant to make kids rebel. The slogan
``You're in Control'' refers to how kids can build sandwiches with
Lunchables, says Kathy Knuth, a spokeswoman. ``Our belief is that moms still
make the decision on what kids eat.''
Susan Wolfe, a Quaker spokeswoman, says Cap'n Crunch is a ``fun cereal'' and
Quaker takes creative measures to create awareness for it. ``Relative to the
issue of childhood obesity, exercise definitely must play an active part of
the solution,'' she adds.
