How can we get our toddler to let us brush his teeth?
My toddler refuses to let me or my husband brush his teeth. He simply clenches his mouth closed. We've tried using gauze on our fingertips and a child-sized toothbrush. We've even tried brushing our teeth together, as a family, and letting him hold his own toothbrush. Nothing has worked. I'd appreciate any suggestions or tips.

I make a game of it. I ask my son to pick an animal for that night and while brushing his teeth we make the sounds of that animal. I say let's see the (fill in the animal)'s teeth and he usually opens up and lets me brush his teeth. It's pretty easy to brush his teeth when he opens his mouth wide to roar.posted 05/08/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter is 20 mons and I have never had a problem brushing her teeth...then again she started getting teeth at 3 mons old. From the beginning we have sort of made a little game of it. Just like a dentist I tell her to go ah and stick the tooth brush in...of course she bites down after a couple of brushes to chew on the bristles. We keep going ah until all the teeth have been brushed. To make sure the front teeth are clean we taught her to make the sound like she is brushing her teeth. (the chchchchch sound - like they used to do on sesame street). Now that she's a little older she wants to brush her teeth by herself this we let her do and then we go in for a more through cleaning...keep at it and it will get easier the more your daughter gets used to the toothbrush...also try using a fluoride-free toothpaste that she might enjoy! Good luck!posted 05/08/2006 by FortHeart
Teeth brushing is a big deal in our house. My son really loves to brush his teeth, but he wasn't always cooperative every time. We've made it the last part of his routine before going to bed. How we do it now is, I sit him on the closed toilet, wet his toothbursh with water, and put a dab of toddler training toothpaste on his Elmo toothbrush (not the motorized kid-- just regular). he gets about a minute to brush his own teeth (mostly he just chews on the brush and sucks the toothpaste out) and then it's mommy's turn to help. I take over brushing his teeth while he brushes mine. When we're finished, I pick him up, I rinse his brush and give it to him to put back in the holder. Then he says goodnight to the baby in the mirror (!) and turns off the light and he goes to bed. It's simple, but it works. Although there were plenty of nights where he absolutely refused to open his mouth, so try not to sweat it if that happens. The toodler toothpaste helped tremendously though, and I don't think he has refused to brush since we started using that. Good luck!posted 03/21/2006 by agornic
It used to be a struggle to get my 14 month old son's teeth cleaned. He would scream and shout. Yesterday i got him a spongebob motorized toothbrush. The sound did scare it a bit for about 5 minutes the first time but now he loves it and all i have to say is "aaaahh" (our way of saying open wide) and he welcomes brushing his teethposted 02/05/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I have had a really hard time brushing my 2 yr olds teeth so now I play a game called "tickle the teeth". I just lay her down and tell her Im going to tickle her teeth which starts her laughing and while she laughs I brush away! It works most nights!posted 01/11/2006 by Annemarie33
My son is three and I have such a hectic time every morning to brush his teeth he kicks and screams and cries and pushes. I have to ly him across my lap and hold his arms and start bushing his teeth quickly so we can get it over with and he can go about eating his breakfast and then going to school!!! Every morning is the same routine it just drives me bonkers! I have tried different tooth brushes, he loves elmo so I bought him one, now he has cookie monster but it is all the same to him. I used different types of toothpaste and nothing has worked. I sing, I try bushing my teeth and giving him his toothbrush but he is not interested. I tell him that if he doesn't brush his teeth they will fall off just like Grandpa's but that doesn't work either. Any more suggestions out there for me. I am willing to try anything at this point!!!posted 11/29/2005 by atlasair
What works for us is this - when it's time to brush his teeth, I give my toddler my toothbrush and I take his. I let him brush my teeth while I brush his! Yes, it gets a little awkward sometimes but it seems to have worked for us! Now he'll open when I say "Say awww" to get inside on those back teeth. We also tried singing songs to make it more fun. Don't give up...it will happen!posted 07/10/2005 by JTs_Mom
We have several toothbrushes for our daughter, different colours and she also has an electric toothbrush. We let her choose which brush she wants to brush her teeth with. We have found this helped. She loves the taste of the toothpaste also, so it is a bonus (I thinks he'll eat the tube if we let her!). Good luck!posted 07/09/2005 by Leisa101
my 20 mnth old hated it at first. i made a game out of it and said mummy do first then zahllie do. then i say big mouth. initially my daughter hated it and i had to hold her hands and lie her down. when i was brushing id tell her what a good girl she was and then at the end cover her hands with stickers and stamps. it took a couple of months but now she tells me teeth mummy before bed. i also have a set routine. so she knows dinner, milk teeth book sleep. just hang in there and let your little one know how good and clever they are for brushing.posted 06/03/2005 by zahllie

Better than a hotel
This was simply the best B&B I have ever stayed in.
The room was superb and the bed very comfortable. The room itself was En-suite and relaxing. The food was delicious both for breakfast and the evening meals. The option of having evening meals was an added bonus at the end of the day as was the lovely lounge to relax with the open fire. Due to circumstances, I arrived late on my first night and Hillary couldn't have been more welcoming, and helpful. As a single traveler, I felt my needs were catered for far better than any hotel I have ever stayed in. The service attention to details and genuine welcome exceed that I have received in hotels. All in all I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Response from hotel
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and it was our pleasure to be able to help with transport. We hope you are able to come again in 2015.
only the lack of space in the shower room prevented 6 excellent ratings .a lovely b&b with a charming hostess.
Response from hotel
It was a pleasure to host all 4 of you. Thanks for your generous review. We too would love to expand Room 2's shower room but can find no way of doing so: Room 1's more spacious en suite does leave it in the shade! Look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Excellent attention to detail
The owners were very welcoming and eager to make sure you have everything you need.
The attention to detail, both downstairs and in your room was excellent. Bedroom was delightful and the single bed was more like a 3/4 size and very comfortable. I will definitely stay again

Very comfortable
The only reason that the quality of room is not 6 is that the shower was out of action on the night we were there.
However Hilary warned us in advance and made alternative arrangements which were onlya minor iinconvenience. Otherwise we were made thoroughly welcome and soon felt at home. We couldn't have asked for more in terms of hospitality, comfort, information, and breakfast. Highly recommended.

Very friendly b and b which went the extra mile to provide information about the area Very comfortable bed and spacious room and bathroom Breakfast lots of choice local produce and homemade bread all very tasty Would recommend
Such a lovely place to stay.
Its in a lovey house which feels a world away. It is an old house with lovely gardens. The rooms are well furnished and the beds are very comfortable (and my mother is picky with mattresses...). The twin room was very pleasant to stay in and had all the amenities so we didn't even need to bring towels. Tea making facilities were very useful. There was also a very comfortable separate lounge where we could relax after a long day walking. They lit the log fire for us. They had plenty of guidebooks, maps and ideas for interesting things to do locally. Hilary was very helpful in working out routes and things to do. There are a couple of nice pubs nearby including The Three Cottages only 5mins away. The breakfasts were amazing. A large selection of hot and cold options meant it was always a great breakfast. They also had delicious freshly made bread everyday. We were only there 2 nights but it really felt like a long holiday as it was so relaxing and not at all awkward like some B&Bs can be. We will definitely be visiting again!

If you decide on a Niagara Falls March Break, you can be sure it will be busy. Finding parking close to all of the Clifton Hill amenities and the Niagara Falls can be tricky — but not at this somewhat hidden — but LARGE — parking lot. You are right on Clifton Hill and only a couple of minutes from viewing the Falls. Best of all, the parking rates are nearly half of what you will find anywhere else even remotely close to the Niagara Falls.
From Toronto:
-QEW toward East Hamilton/Niagara/Fort Erie.
-Keep left to take Hwy 420 E via exit 30A toward The Falls/Niagara Falls U.S.A.
-Take Stanley Ave/RR-102 towards "Alternate To Falls".
-Turn left onto Robinson St.
-At the end of Robinson Street is a dead-end. There is a huge parking lot on the left-hand side with plenty of parking.
From Buffalo:
-I-190 N/New York State Thruway toward Peace Bridge/Ft. Erie, Canada.
-Take exit 9 towards the Peace Bridge.
-left onto Peace Bridge Plz/Peace Bridge.
-Peace Bridge becomes QEW.
-Marge onto Hwy 420 E via exit 30 towards Niagara Falls/Niagara Falls U.S.A.
-Take Stanley Av./RR-102 towards "Alternate to the Falls".
-Turn left onto Robinson Street.
-At the end of Robinson Street is a dead-end. There is a huge parking lot on the left-hand side with plenty of parking.
**For more information on this parking lot, click here for a previous blog specifically providing information on this, complete with a YouTube video.

Leveraxe turns against the grain
- Stu Robarts
- August 21, 2015
The axe is one of the oldest tools known to mankind, and its basic design typically changes very little. The Leveraxe, however, strays from that blueprint. As a result, it's said to be more effective than a traditional axe, require less power, be safer and not get stuck in the wood.Read More

If you're a single mother like I am, the photo may have touched you in a deep place, because it represents something that many single mothers find important: a relationship where one's child feels comfortable and adored by one's new partner.
Next, I think their declaration is a nice reminder that at any point couples and individuals can choose to do something different with their sex lives than what they've done in the past. For instance, it goes against the commonly held perception and says that just because a woman has engaged in sexual activity previously does not mean she should be obligated to do so with a new partner.
Most parents with adult children seem reluctant to discuss - or admit - to their children's problems, even with close friends. I understand that. First - and for me foremost - I'm a private person and don't feel an Oprah or Maury Povich-like itch to reveal my personal reality show to the world.
After weeks of buildup, hours of pre-game shows and the festival of football itself, you'd think that we'd pretty much be over the Super Bowl by now. But no. In fact, it turns out, that when it comes to the Super Bowl, it's all over but the crunching.
Newcomer Dylan Gardner's latest video is for "Too Afraid To Love You," one of the key tracks from his album Adventures in Real Time.
We can all savor it, if we choose to. That's more easily done for viewers like me who, just a few hours earlier, had been noncommittal and teamless. Still, once the clock runs out on all the real-time Cinderella stories, we can conjure up glass slippers -- or cleats -- to fit any feet we want.
Americans probably like to think of their countrymen as a group of achievers, hardscrabble hustlers who pull themselves up by the bootstraps each morning to go to work, eat apple pie, and fall asleep watching baseball.
Of course Americans will watch the game. But who will we root for? Who are we supposed to cheer for when it is Lex Luthor going against the Joker? Maybe football needs a villain, but not two of them.
On Sunday, Feb. 1, an actual football game will be played. With teams that have identical 14-4 records. A game that Las Vegas has declared about as even a match up as we've had in years, with a one-point spread.
He doesn't have to tell you he is a Christian for you to know that there is something higher driving every single thing he does, on the field and off. In a time where Christianity has little or nothing to do with Christ, Russell Wilson is a shining example of what walking like Jesus actually looks like.
Regardless of what the numbers might say, you cannot deny that he's supremely exciting, and sure, if you want to go down the route of meaningless sports maxims, he's also a winner who shows lots of heart in the clutch.
The Seattle Seahawks are the defending world champions and owners of a 9-4 record. They have seen firsthand the distinct challenges of what it takes to repeat, and why the NFL hasn't seen a back-to-back champ since New England a decade ago. Just one month ago, the team seemed in total disarray -- unable to establish a consistent aerial attack with and without the traded Percy Harvin and unable to generate the same defensive dominance from a year ago.
"Do I think I'll be gone after this season?" Lynch told NFL.com on Sunday. "I don't know, man. The Seahawks, their front office gets in the media; they talk a lot. I don't talk too much. I just play the game."
DeMarco Murray leads the NFL in rushing yards through two games and is projected to top 1,750 yards rushing if he makes 16 starts this year. For perspective, no other player is projected to exceed 1,500 yards rushing.
It happened. I met Russell Wilson (and hugged him twice), live on the Huffington Post.
I hate criticizing Hip-Hop, but it's definitely become "trap music." I may partake in the ignorant hypocrisy, but like a pitbull, I have trouble defending it.

Polyakov's OOM Killer Tamer
Evgeniy Polyakov has released a patch to the kernel's out-of-memory (OOM) killer function, which was designed to prevent a system freeze in an OOM condition by sacrificing one or more processes. The patch "tames" the function by defining the specific process to kill.
As the Hungarian HUP UNIX portal announces, kernel contributor Polyakov distributed a mail message with the subject "Linux killed Kenny", which has raised some eyebrows. His patch is in response to the kernel's OOM killer function, a remedy familiar to some seasoned Linux users who have had to resort to "Ctrl+Alt+SysRq,R,E,I,S,U,B" to restart their system after experiencing a freeze due to an OOM error.
Since version 2.6, the kernel has used a "badness" scoring algorithm to find the best candidate process or processes to sacrifice in case of an OOM error. However, Polyakov claims that this OOM killer often goes "quite berserk" by nixing processes that the user didn't really want to nix, such as Firefox instead of OpenOffice or KWin instead of Java.
Polyakov thought it best to make the process to kill user-specifiable. The code has the hypothetical "Kenny" as the default "victim" process, but he changed it later in the program to an empty variable. The patch installer should substitute the actual process name by calling:
echo Java > /proc/sys/vm/oom_victim
The solution is not without its critics. Alan Cox, for example, responded in the thread that the kernel already has the /proc/self/oom_adj interface that "does the job far better." The complete thread starts here.

Some Joss Whedon fella featured my Avengers picJournal Entry: Wed Dec 12, 2012, 6:29 AM
Usually I don't comment about my artworks much on journals, but this time I kinda have to give a whole journal topic about it, yeah I'm talking about my latest artwork Nick Furry and the Animalvengers, it was just something silly I decided to draw and got a surprisingly large amount of positive response, THANK YOU all for the lovely comments, although I can't reply all I do read everyone of them and take it to heart.
But shit just got real when a friend told me Joss Whedon (The Director/writer of the Avengers movie) featured the artwork on his Facebook, I was a bit skeptical at first like is it really his facebook? But then I saw how many likes the page has as well as his comments and fans comments and found out it probably IS the real Joss Whedon, I fan girl screamed for an hour. He featured it the PROPER way too, by crediting the artist and putting a link of the original source on the description, very professional. Good man. It also means he has been to my facebook page, and I just got that funny feeling like someone famous comes into your house, so you panic and look around to make sure everything looks decent and tidy, a bit like the scene when Thor visits Jane's Caravan. I don't know how long he stayed around for, but I'm glad he did, and thanks for the featured it really shined some light on it. And thanks to Deviantart too who wants to feature this on their facebook in the future , they really liked it and asked if they can feature it and I was like "sure why not?" .........no actually it was more like "F****CCCCKKKK YEAHHHHHHHHH OMG I LOVE YOU DEVIANTART! YES YES YES YES I WOULD LOVE A FEATURE! HAVE YOU HAD DINNER? DO YOU WANT SOME DINNER? OMG THANK YOU SOOO MUCH !!!! Marry me...?"
Edit: Thanks Lunaoverthecow for telling me it is the number 1 most popular artwork of today on Deviantart. 12/12/12 is a good day for me.
Anyway Here's the link to Joss Whedon's facebook feature page: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi…

When I logged onto dA and saw your art on the front page my first thought was: "Wow, Ry made it to the front page? It's good to see great artist getting the credit they deserve." followed by: "He's probably having a success-spasm right now hehehe."
BUT this is the first time I am on number one spot of front page!
You might recognize me as a fairly common commenter. Joss Whedon clearly knows of you. So, separation degrees notwithstanding, I have a familiarity connection to Joss Whedon. Niiiiice.
Did I just made you and Joss Whedon BFFs?
cos I want to be that guy if I did

- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- Juice and minced zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup peanut or canola oil
- Salt
- 16 baby artichokes
- Juice of 1/2 lemon or 2 tablespoons vinegar
- Peanut oil, for deep frying
- Sea salt
This recipe contains: Eggs
Recipe notes: Make sure that your peanut oil is refined; an unrefined product doesn't have a high enough smoke point for this recipe.
Crispy Baby Artichokes with Lemon Aïoli
David Uygur
The Tasting Room at Lola Dallas
At the reception for his Beard House dinner last July, David Uygur could barely get these baby artichokes out of the fryer before they were gobbled up. Deep-fried to a light golden crisp and served with a tangy mayonnaise, this hors d'oeuvre was the hit of the night.
Yield: 4 servings
To make the aïoli, whisk together the egg yolks, mustard, garlic, and lemon juice and zest in a medium bowl. While whisking, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. Continue whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and more lemon juice to taste. Refrigerate until serving.
To make the artichokes, fill a large nonreactive bowl with cold water and add the lemon juice. Pare off the tough outer leaves of the artichokes, trim the tops, and cut them in half. Soak in the acidulated water until ready to fry, no more than 30 minutes.
In a deep fryer, heat the peanut oil to 325°F. Pat the artichoke halves dry with a towel and fry them for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender and starting to color. Remove artichokes to drain on paper towels. Raise the fryer temperature to between 350°F and 360°F. Fry the artichokes until golden and crispy. Season with sea salt and serve immediately with the chilled lemon aïoli.

Robert McDonald, former chief of Procter and Gamble and President Obama's choice to head the beleaguered Department of Veterans Affairs, faces a gargantuan task. The previous agency head, General Eric Shinseki, resigned in the wake of scandals involving secret patient waiting lists and record falsification at numerous medical centers. Since his departure, additional reports of retaliation against whistleblowers and millions of dollars in unnecessary payments to veterans with only temporary disabilities have come before Congress.
McDonald will doubtless begin by addressing administrative bloat, deficits in medical staffing, and, in the words of a recent White House assessment, the "corrosive culture" that permeates the health-care arm of the VA. Indeed, the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act was recently passed to address precisely these problems. But the new director should not ignore the VA's other scandal: a dysfunctional benefits system for veterans with disabilities.

Expect the largest reform measures to keep until Republicans have not only the ideas but also the grassroots support for enacting them. If Republicans can just prevent the deficit from increasing in the next two years, that will be a victory of some dimensions. Cutting will have to begin: coupled, however, with initiatives to create jobs, such as reducing corporate taxes and loosening regulations: expedients that Democrats normally despise (and currently are paying for despising).
One just doesn't see the Republicans blowing this chance to roll back much of the bossy, we-know-best stuff they rightly detest in Obamanism; e.g., the federal mandate to buy health insurance. When you've been handed (as will likely prove the case this week) a golden gift you thought two years ago you'd never see, you use it for the purposes intended, while supporting choruses of voters sing along with zest.
Here's maybe the point to notice most of all: not, can Republicans avoid feuds and self-evisceration? The thing to notice is the beauty of democracy, when it functions -- and, oh, is it functioning now -- with smoothness and intensity. In democracy, the people get what they want, even if it takes a while. Two years ago, they wanted "change," without bothering to inquire very pointedly, change of what kind? The kind of change they seem to want now is of a more constructive kind: rooted in thinking about real-life consequences and outcomes, not just promises and high-toned speeches.
The agents of "change" blew it big time this time. They may not have figured the people would be watching and caring. But they were. Were they ever!

and you can download the blender file to see how he did it.
yeah I been finding stuff like that its just hard for me.. I need to find a program thats easy to use or someone to help me step by step.. sucks having a learning disability. X__X
Did you try Blender 3D ? i started with that going to take a while to learn the controls but it's a good free program for starters. I can explain how to make a face to you in few mins where you can understand what you're doing and why you're doing it i think let me know.
I have alot of 3d art programs I down loaded. Im trying to learn how to use them through videos but I cant. X__X I have blender im trying to fallow a video using reference image I made But I cant seem to do it.. I lick on part of it an it pulls the corner out instead of taking the full box to make it bigger.. im very frustrated right now.. plus the scroll button on my mouse dose not work for the zoom.. >.<; wish there was a easy program to use..
well i can't think of anything else unless you go to the mmd way or daz /poser where models are already made and you just dress them up but ( to me) that's not fun at all.
I have mmd and poser.. but I want to make my own to import them into poser and thats where im having the trouble. You see I have a harder time learning things then other people. I need someone to show me clearly every step.. an the tutorials I keep finding dont help me. I cant seem to fallow them. X__X
can do a tutorial on modeling head?
Or show how learned ... please * - *
Or show how learned ... please * - *
This is great.
Very cool! Is this with blender's freestyle renderer?
how do you make that eyes? Awesome!!!! *.*
My bad for the late response, the eyes are Planes shrink warped onto the head, think of it like putting a mask on your face but all the parts of that mask can move while leaving your original face alone using it as a guideline, hope you understand.
Real nice work on the manipulation of the face's speech and expression motions here.
looks amazing!! ^^

"When crude oil is more than $90 a barrel, there will be no blenders' credit. When crude oil is $50 and below, the blenders' credit will be 30 cents. The rate will vary when the price of crude is between $50 and $90 a barrel," according to Grassley's office.
The bill would also extend through 2016 tax credits for installing ethanol infrastructure at gas stations, but modify them somewhat.
Credits for cellulosic ethanol producers and the depreciation allowance for cellulosic biofuel plant property would also remain through 2016, while the import tariff would continue at reduced levels.
"Affordable energy is a major concern for Americans, and Congress needs to keep energy security on the front burner. Now more than ever, it's time to ramp up production of traditional energy sources here at home and to expand alternative fuels and renewable energy sources," Grassley said in a statement on the bill, which also drew praise from ethanol industry trade groups.
The other sponsors are Sens. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.).
The bill comes a day after ethanol opponents Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) united around a bill to end the blenders' credit and the import tariff. They had previously offered competing plans. Co-sponsors include Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Richard Burr (R-N.C.).
Feinstein argues the ethanol industry is awash in billions of dollars in unnecessary subsidies.
"Ethanol subsidies and tariffs sap our budget, they're bad for the environment, and they increase our dependence on foreign oil. It's time we end subsidies that we cannot afford and tariffs that increase gas prices," she said in a statement Tuesday.
Feinstein's office argues the blenders' credit is unneeded given the national renewable fuels mandate ensures a market, and that the tariff increases reliance on oil imports by raising the price of imported ethanol.

In football, "piling on" means a bunch of 300-pound football players jump on top of a player who is already down and out.
In life it could mean to be continually beat up in the literal sense when one finds him or herself already at one of their lowest points (been there... ).
This winter it's Mother Nature piling on with SNOW. And most of you are pounding your fist on the ground and crying "UNCLE"! Well with Tuesday morning's hit-and-run snow, we added another 3 inches, pushing the snow totals for this season to 58.4 inches, officially.
The winter of 2013-14 is now in sole possession of third place on the all-time list of snowiest winters, and closing in quickly on No. 2 - 1995-96 and its 65.5 inches of snow. That winter we picked up a record-smashing 30.7 inches of snow in a two-day span with the blizzard of Jan. 7-8.

To reduce the bottleneck, Sharp compared staffing patterns against patient flow and found the two didn't line up, so that was corrected. Another initiative looked at bed turnover in the hospital to try to understand why it took more than an hour to move patients from the ED up to the units once an admit order was given.
"It was taking housekeeping 40 minutes to make a bed because people were saying it wasn't their job. We started the 'Everyone is a bed-maker' campaign, and we got that down to eight minutes," Stone says.
Another inconvenience to patients and a time-waster, Stone says, was that patients were repeating their information at least four times to different staff members (admission staff, multiple nurses, and the physician) from the time they arrived.
"Now we go in as a team and ask all the questions together so everyone gets the same message and information," she says. Staff also began making follow-up calls with patients to see if they had questions about their treatment and, when appropriate, to see if the patient had been taking the next steps in the treatment plan.
"We found if we made anything less than 1,000 calls a month, our patient satisfaction scores would drop," she says.
As its ED wait time decreased from 5.1 hours to 3.8 hours for inpatient care (2.8 hours for outpatient), Sharp saw its patient satisfaction scores go from the 30% range to 93%. Volume also increased—from 150 patients a day to 205—which Stone says represents new patients and market-share growth, not readmissions.
As with Sharp Hospital, Griffin Hospital credits its patient-centered approach to seeing declines in readmission rates for heart patients—from 13.2% in 2010 to 9.2% in 2011.

Emulate IO::File interface for in-core strings
The IO::String module provide the IO::File interface for in-core strings. An IO::String object can be attached to a string, and will make it possible to use the normal file operations for reading or writing data, as well as seeking to various locations of the string. The main reason you might want to do this, is if you have some other library module that only provide an interface to file handles, and you want to keep all the stuff in memory.
The IO::String module provide an interface compatible with IO::File as distributed with IO-1.20, but the following methods are not available; new_from_fd, fdopen, format_write, format_page_number, format_lines_per_page, format_lines_left, format_name, format_top_name.

Bleeding heart liberals. Listen to those who live with the refugees. Read the news reports of the conduct of some of them. Look at the Islamization of the countries they are beginning to occupy. I say "YES" to Japan. Do not saddle yourself with the same problems the rest of the world is having. Remain steadfast! Sometimes the truth is brutal. But it remains the truth!

I'm a retired combat veteran. My tattoos document the conflicts and associations that were a part of my life. I got them before coming to Japan. I have been asked to leave an onsen once while actually in the bath...by a young lady who came into the bath area, to me, pointed at my tattoos and made the sign of the X (Hmm, I'm a weight lifter with the body of a weight lifter...). I was denied access to Gold's Gym in Minato-Marai because I truthfully answered the question about tattoos. I pointed out that mine were covered up and would remain covered in the gym. That did not matter. They now knew I have tattoos. I rejoined, metaphorically, that had I lied, they would have never known thus given me access. Response: Didn't matter. They now knew. I asked to speak with the manager. He wasn't in but I was assured he would be asked. I received a phone call the next day...no go. Ironically, the gym had posters of professional body builders, with tattoos, posted throughout the gym. I asked if they would deny entry to one of them. No answer. Go figure.

Has anybody who is commenting negatively about Yasukuni ever been there? If not, then how can you INTELLIGENTLY comment on it? It is NOT a shrine to war criminals. Rather it is the repose of the souls of all of those who died for Japan throughout all of its wars, including those of non-soldiers (nurses and some postal workers, for example). The souls of the "Class A" war criminals, executed for Crimes Against Humanity, also repose there. They indeed died for Japan regardless of the (justified) condemnation of the court. It has been a familiar drum beat for China and Korea, who neither understand nor care about the true meaning of the place. Something good to use in their political games.

This kind of rhetorical question begs the use of 20/20 hindsight. To be truly understood, the question must be asked within the context of the time, information at hand, and the assessment of intelligence that predicted what might have happened had the pursuit of "unconditional surrender" played out as anticipated. It is easy to judge and condemn from the comfort of one's own armchair many years after the fact.

Regarding the 2009 Air France Rio-Paris crash, and according to the BEA investigation, it seemed to show a lack of training. But it now seems to be more complicated- it turns up that the elements of the report on the investigation were actually incomplete. This scoop – according to this France24 video – comes from the French paper La Tribune. Several elements would have been taken out of this report, and more importantly an element about a malfunctioning stall alarm:
As the Flight Data Recorder (FDR); the CSMU (Crash Survival Memory Cockpit); and the CVR – Cockpit Voice Recorder – have been recovered from the shell of the Air France Airbus A330-203 registered F-GZCP, we may learn more about the crash that happened to the flight AF 447 in the Atlantic Ocean between Rio de Janeiro Galeão and Paris Charles de Gaulle on May 31, 2009.
According to the French BEA – air accident investigations bureau – report, the aircraft was plunging at a speed of 10,912 feet per minute; a ground speed of 107 knots; with a pitch attitude of 16.2° nose-up; a roll angle of 5.3° left; and a magnetic heading of 270° when the recordings stopped.
It has been deemed by aviation pundits that the pitot tubes might have failed due to icing at FL 380. However, no piece of evidence but the weird speed indications has demonstrated that these probes were actually icing. Moreover, there is no pitot tube mentioned in this report. This tragic accident killed all the people – cabin crew members; passengers; and pilots – on board. There were 228 of them. May they rest in peace.
A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-3H4 had been forced to make an emergency landing less than two years ago. Another B-737-3H4 has just had a 6′ hole in its fuselage during a flight causing sudden decompression, and emergency landing.
The NTSB is leading an investigation into exactly what happened to this Southwest Airlines flight – a 737 which had a hole come open during a flight from Phoenix to Sacramento at FL 360 (altitude: 36,000 feet that is to say almost 11 kilometers high). It was a harrowing experience for the passengers and the crew members. Watch the video:

VIP is one of the few college-based transition programs in the country that offers both vocational training and a residential component. This unique opportunity affords students with disabilities the chance to experience a college living environment, while practicing their independent living and social skills under the supervision of specially trained, professional staff.
Many students with neurologically-based learning disabilities struggle with the multiple demands of the social setting at college. The Vocational Independence Program has a staff of dedicated, master's-level counselors and social workers who provide support, training, and referrals to all of the students in the program. Generally, the student meets weekly with the social counselor to review adjustment issues; however, these meetings are tailored to the student's individual needs.
Counselors work with students on socialization, skill development, problem solving, and decision making. The goal is to maximize each student's potential in developing social relationships and self-confidence so they can function independently.
The Social Counseling Team:
- Leads the "Dare to Care" Program - an empirically-based, positive school-wide expectations program know as the "Bear's Code"
- Meets with students individually on a weekly basis to discuss program-related issues
- Teaches socail communication, relaxation, self-advocacy, goal setting, and relationship skills
- Organized coffee house nights
- Facilitates the fitness electives, as well as the dean's lecture series, and pedometer challenge
- Mediates student issues
- Monitors student's participation and engagement in social activities
- supervises student clubs
- Trains residence life staff in active listening skills and crisis management
- Identifies and mentors students to become student ambassadors for the program
- Refers students to therapists and other health care providers for evaluations, medication reviews, and on-going psychotherapy

Student teams identify and categorize various objects using their senses of touch and sight. One student chooses five objects for his/her blindfolded partner to describe and identify based solely on touch. Then they switch. Both students record their observations, describing the objects as: human-made or natural, living or non-living, as well as any other physical/sensory characteristics. Students become familiar with different classification systems and sharpen their vocabulary to describe the physical characteristics of different objects. They learn why engineers have a need to categorize materials.

Learning Objectives
- Build observation skills by using tactile perception to describe and distinguish objects.
- How to categorize and sort objects in a logical fashion.
Materials List
- blindfolds, enough for half the class; alternatively: use small lidded containers such as ice cream containers, tissue boxes or shoe boxes so that students can put their hands inside to feel the objects without seeing them
- a selection of objects, enough quantity and variety so student teams have their own sets of objects so that each partner identifies different objects. Example objects: rocks, pinecones, leaves, seashells, wood, plastics, pens, pencils, paper, Styrofoam, fabric, leather, wool, cotton, corks, sponges (sea and artificial), fruits, vegetables.
- Touch and Discover Worksheet
|To arrange or describe by labeling or giving a name to a group of things that have some quality or qualilties in common.
|A distinguishing feature or quality.
Before the Activity
- Gather materials and make copies of the Touch and Discover Worksheet.
- Put all the objects in a box or on a table out of view of the students.
- Prepare enough blindfolds (or small containers) for each group.
- Discuss with the children different methods for grouping objects.
- Discuss the difference between natural and human-made, and living and non-living.
With the Students
- Blindfold partner A. Have partner B go to the table and choose five objects.
- Without letting partner A see what was chosen, categorize the objects using the worksheet.
- Have partner A hold each object one at a time, examining it thoroughly with his/her hands. Then have partner A describe the object to partner B.
- Partner B records the data on the worksheet.
- After all five objects are described by partner A, repeat the activity, this time let partner B be blindfolded, and partner A choose the objects to be identified.
- Once both partners have had a chance to identify objects using only touch, explore how the 10 objects identified can be grouped. Think about how they are related or similar to each other, and their different uses.
- Conclude with a class discussion, as described in the Assessment section.
- See the Activity Extensions and Activity Scaling sections for ideas on how to continue the activity further.
Safety Issues
- Make sure not to include any objects that may be sharp or dangerous.
Investigating Questions
- How can different objects be categorized and described using only your sense of touch?
- Why is it important to be able to categorize different objects?
- How do engineers use information like this to help them?
- How did each group categorize the different objects?
- Is there only one right way to group the objects?
- Which ways are better? What are the best characteristics to use when grouping objects?
- How easy (or hard) was it to identify and describe objects using only touch? Why?
- Why is it good to practice using different observation skills?
Activity Extensions
Activity Scaling
- For younger students, expect them to sort according to shape and color. Provide simple, easily distinguishable objects.
- For more advanced students, expect them to sort according to uses and material. Provide more variation in the objects.
- As students develop their skills, challenge them to use more descriptive words and more sophisticated methods of sorting.
- Make it more challenging by requiring that students brainstorm uses for the objects and materials, instead of just physical characteristics classification.
- For more advanced students, have students pick out five objects that they grouped in a certain way and have their partners identify the objects and the logic for the grouping.

Henry Kirke Bush-Brown
Henry Kirke Bush-Brown (1857–1935) was an American sculptor and the adopted nephew of sculptor Henry Kirke Brown. He was raised in Newburgh, New York and attended the National Academy of Design in New York City.
He became known for historically accurate realist sculptures illustrating American history.
Works at Gettysburg battlefield[edit]
Bush-Brown produced three equestrian bronze sculptures at Gettysburg battlefield. The first equestrian statue ever produced by Bush-Brown was that of General George Meade, the victor at Gettysburg.[2] Located on Hancock Avenue, it is near where "Meade watched his Union troops repulse the Confederate charge." This statue was created after two years of research, and portrays "Meade without a hat, as he appeared during the battle," in keeping with Bush-Brown's commitment to historical accuracy.[3] Meade holds a pair of binoculars in his right hand and his hat in his left hand. A sword hangs from the left side of his saddle. The monument cost $37,500.[4] The sculpture of Meade gazes across the battlefield toward the statue of his opponent, Robert E. Lee.
Following the production of Meade, Bush-Brown created a 9,000-pound monument of General John F. Reynolds (killed in action July 1, 1863),[5] in which the horse has only two feet on the ground.[6] This statue was dedicated in 1899 at a ceremony in which Bush-Brown, Reynolds' nephew, and Pennsylvania Governor William Stone were present. The sculpture is located approximately 1100 feet from the marker where Reynolds was killed.[6]
Bush-Brown also produced an equestrian bronze of General John Sedgwick, the seniormost Union casualty of the American Civil War, who was killed later at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse and who had participated in the Battle of Gettysburg.[4] The statue of Sedgwick incorporates such details as the dents in the General's scabbard and the tiny stitching seen on the horse blanket.[2]
In addition, Bush-Brown made a bust of Abraham Lincoln, dedicated in 1912 as part of the Lincoln Speech Memorial commemorating Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.[5]
Other notable works[edit]
Another of Bush-Brown's noted works was a figure of Commodore Isaac Hull, one of four American naval heroes produced by various artists for the 1899 triumphal Dewey Arch in New York City's Madison Square, commemorating the naval victory of Admiral George Dewey at the Battle of Manila Bay.[7]
Bush-Brown created numerous sculptures for the exterior of New York City's Beaux Arts 1907 Surrogate's Courthouse.[8]
In 1910 he created a bronze statue of Mary Jemison, "The White Woman of the Genesee", which marks her grave in New York's Letchworth State Park.
Bush-Brown also produced a relief of financier and civic planner Cyrus Clark (1911), who was instrumental in the planning and development of New York City's Riverside Drive and Riverside Park. Brown's relief of Clark is embedded in a natural rock outcropping near the 83rd Street entrance to Riverside Park.[9]
Apart from his numerous sculptures related to American history, Bush-Brown was also the author of an unpublished biographical manuscript detailing the life and work of his uncle.[10] One copy of the manuscript is with the Bush-Brown family papers at Smith College[11] and another is held by the Library of Congress.
Bush-Brown died in Washington, D.C. and was buried in Memorial Cemetery, Arundel, Maryland.[12]

Every time I look at that picture, I think, "Wow, you could really fool someone into believing that it's a big bowl of pasta." Sure, there are the uneven ends that make it look a bit funky, but if you aren't paying attention, you could be tricked. In fact, that there is just a bunch of parsnips and carrots that have been peeled into thin ribbons. Amazing, isn't it?
There was no reason for this recipe to be as successful as it was. Believe me, I was skeptical. The folks at Easy Eats passed it along and asked me to write a blog post for them in conjunction with the release of a new gluten-free cookbook. But this recipe isn't just gluten-free… it's vegan and it's raw.
The raw food movement is even more intriguing to me than veganism. From my perspective, there's nothing that can surpass the challenge of making a delicious meal without touching a flame. I want to sauté everything in butter, I want to roast and steam. I want to "cook".
Some might say that this isn't really cooking… and they'd be completely wrong. Curing is definitely cooking. It changes the flavors and textures and you are ultimately left with manipulated ingredients.
If you don't believe me, I urge you to make this Pesto-Coated Carrot and Parsnip Fettucini.
Pesto-Coated Carrot and Parsnip Fettucini
Source: Eat Raw, Eat Well by Doug McNish
Serves 4
3 large carrots, peeled
3 large parsnips, peeled
1 tablespoon cold-pressed (extra-virgin) olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons fine sea salt, divided
3/4 cup cold-pressed hemp or olive oil
1/2 cup raw shelled hemp orsunflower seeds
3 cloves garlic
2 cups fresh cilantro, chopped
Using a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots and parsnips into long, thin strips, dropping them into a bowl as completed. Add the tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and toss until the vegetables are well-coated. Set aside for 10 minutes, until the carrot and parsnip strips have softened.
In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process the remaining oil, hemp or sunflower seeds, garlic, and the remaining lemon juice and salt, until the mixture is somewhat smooth but the seeds retain some texture. Add the cilantro and continue to process the mixture until it is chopped and blended, stopping the motor once to scrape down the sides of the work bowl.
