My tips for travelling with young children
After a wonderful, lazy summer in the Seattle area with my family, we have just returned this week back to London. Every summer my husband flies out there with us, but unfortunately can't stay the entire time… which means that every year I end up flying back home solo with all the kids. It's the teensy price I pay for a nice, long, extended holiday with my family. Totally worth the trek!
Plus, I feel like I'm getting kind of good at it by now. Or maybe it's that my kids are getting good at it and that makes an enormous difference. In any case, I thought I would share with you some of my simple tips for (long-haul) flying with young kids…
- Try to avoid the 'oh my gosh, I'm flying for 10 hours on a plane with my kids – I must pack every single thing I have in the house to entertain/feed/care/clean/change them' feeling, and pack as little as you can. I used to bring the kids their own headphones for the TVs, and those neck pillow thingies for sleeping, and a change of clothes, and an entire bag of snacks. But it meant that I was carrying on at least two enormous (and heavy bags!). It made the schlep through the airport tiresome, and we often ended up not using most things. This recent trip, I packed one bag and tried to keep it as lightweight as possible. (You can also give your kids their own backpack and ask them to tote around the things they need for the plane – toys, books, snacks, etc.)
- Use a baby carrier instead of a buggy. It's so much easier going through security and navigating a busy airport if you're carrying your baby instead of pushing them in a buggy. You can go straight through security carrying your baby – no need to empty your buggy, fold it up, have it examined by the airport security, etc. It also means you have your hands free to hold other children's hands, or carry bags, etc. My favourite right now is the Ergo Baby Carrier .
- We always eat in the airport before boarding the plane and skip the first meal they serve on board. It's not easy holding a baby and trying to eat off your little tray in front of you. And inevitably one of your kids will need his meal chopped up, or will spill his drink in his lap, and you'll have to get up to help… and it will be extremely difficult if you have your food on a tray on your tray table in front of you. Just skip the meal entirely.
- Make sure your kids use the toilet before boarding the plane to eliminate any extra trips to the bathroom on the plane. It seems like common sense, but I have forgotten before… and there's nothing worse than your child telling you he has to go potty when the plane is taking off and the seatbelt sign is on! (Also make sure to change your baby's nappy.)
- Pack simple, non-messy snacks. I like raisins because it seems to occupy the kids for a while, trying to grab little raisins out of the box, and they're not messy. I also like to pack nuts or trailmix, snack bars, dried mango, pretzels, fruit, etc. Before take-off, I always have a box of raisins ready for the baby in case she gets antsy sitting still on my lap when the seatbelt sign is on. (I also still nurse Marlow… and that is a big help for calming her down, and keeping her ears from popping during take-off and landing. Nursing is the easiest thing, but if you don't nurse, you should have a prepared bottle on hand for the same reason.)
- Dress (you and your children) in comfortable clothing. I never bother with changing them into their pyjamas – I just find that it's an extra hassle. Instead, I dress them in normal, comfortable clothes, and make sure everyone has an extra layer (like a hoodie or a cardigan) in case it gets cold. I always bring a scarf for myself because I always get cold on planes.
- Don't bring too much, but make sure you have some simple entertainment on hand. I have always found that once kids get to the age of 4 or 5, they are much more independent on airplanes because they can watch TV or movies. My boys are so easy on airplanes now. I don't even think they got up to use the toilet the entire time on our recent flight from Seattle to London – they were either watching movies or sleeping. So… for children under 4, you will need to have some entertainment on hand. Things like simple paper pads and a pen, sticker books and colouring books (you can often buy them in the airport bookshops), and paperback books (hardback books are too heavy – leave them at home!). If you have an ipad or iphone you should make sure you have children's games or books on there (see here for ideas).
- Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. People are always so sympathetic to mothers travelling with small children. Ask the flight attendants to help if you need it. You can even ask for help when going through the airport. One time I had to ask for help getting my sleeping children and bags off the airplane and to over customs because I simply couldn't carry everything. Someone came immediately to help me and got me all the way through the airport.
I hope these tips were somewhat helpful and not just redundant things everyone already knows. Please feel free to add any tips I may have forgotten below. And lastly, I've written my tips for beating jet-lag here if you're interested.

Great tips, it is funny how easy it is to forget to get kids to go to the toilet before boarding a plane!
We live in Asia. Travel to Canada and UK twice a year. We travel as a family and I return on own with kids. We like the trunki suitcases. Great to pull the kids and they are small but yet you can fit so much. Airports are big and too much walking for little legs! Don't do iphones and ipads and not planning to. My list of things that I prepare beforehand and surprise and pull out for them. Mine are 5 and 7. Pack anything flat and small, stickers, origami paper, small puzzles, 3D paper building things, foam sticker pictures, mosaic square pictures, deck of cards, travel games and I love Usborne activity cards. Oh and I like to sit close to the bathroom actually.
Great tips! I totally agree with taking a carrier instead of a stroller. There are times when a stroller comes in handy, but dealing with it while boarding and disembarking is an awful pain plus sometimes even if you gate check it, it has to be claimed with baggage. I have three girls, so this may not apply to everyone, but I have a set of markers for each girl just for traveling and we usually get a new coloring book and/or the Usborne sticker doll books (these keep them occupied for hours!). And yes, things are so much easier once the kids are 4-5 and above.
I always travel with a backpack as my carry-on bag. You can easily manage a backpack and a baby carrier leaving hands free for older toddlers/kids. I agree completely about raisins and other small snacks. This can keep kids busy for a LONG time.
We also try to do a day flight where possible (our children are 3 and 6 mths). A red eye with a toddler is no fun for anyone. Much less stressful to travel during the day.
I also tend to pack each child's items in ziplock baggies and put these in the backpack. I can then easily grab whichever bag I need and it stays organised (ie. nappies/wipes/changing mat all in one bag).
Great tips Courtney, one I would add if you are travelling really long flights (Australia to Europe as I do – about 30 hours) limit the kids exposure to videos & electronic devices as they get over stimulated and then can't get to sleep. You don't want a child who is so tired that they can't fall asleep & then start getting very loudly distressed when the rest of the plane is asleep!!!!
Great tips and so true about how helpful others can be. I flew back to Bristol via Amsterdam from Las Vegas with a stopover in NY (whoa! never typed out all the cities we had to stop in before…) with my 3 month old and 2 yr old on my own. I don't think I could have coped with all the bags, travel buggy and kids without the kindness of strangers. Peter from Amsterdam will always be my hero.
so, so true. i just experienced my first flight with elodie being able to watch a movie independently. it was such a dream! such great tips. xo
These are such good tips! I am just in awe of anyone who undertakes trans-continental travel on their own with more than one child. We can't stop debating back and forth whether or not do do it this fall with two kids (1 and 2.5 years old) and two adults. The jet lag stresses me out the most and the air travel stresses my husband out (our 1 year old doesn't really sit still). Great post!
I compiled my best tips a little while ago: http://minipiccolini.com/2012/05/mini-piccolinis-best-tips-for-traveling-with-children/
could i just add another….. i usually dress my kids in the same coloured clothes, name tag bracelet, and i take a quick photo (on my iphone/mobile) of them both before i leave just in case they get lost and i can share the latest photo with the police/security.
then i relax! x
Great tips! My life saver this summer was a tiny sticker book with reusable stickers – I was surprised my 18 month old actually loved this! I thought he'd be too young. Also one of those magnetic drawing board thingys – you draw with the magnetic pen & then swipe clean – a pound shop find that he LOVED! Final tip for us is when travelling together sit separately – you can trade off turns at entertaining the baby, baby gets a change of scene & mama & dada get regular breaks! X x
Great tips! We travel quite a bit to Montreal from Halifax and these will help for sure. The one thing that we always were concerned about was being comfortable as they slept (hated seeing them slumped over). So that's why we came up with the Amiba Monsters. Let me know what you think Courtney! Keep up the great articles!

Hair Is Wasted On The Hairful
As soon as I noticed I was going bald, I took the only sensible action and shaved my head. How could I not? Growing up, I grimaced at the sight of my father's ill-advised comb over. I swore I would not make the same mistake. I love the man dearly, but I'm scarred by the image of his few scraggly hairs flopping in the wind like a dying fish. I always wondered who my dad thought he was fooling. It's not as if anyone would look at him and think he had a full head of hair. Eventually he let go and got a buzz cut—only because of an insistent barber and a dose of the truth. To this day, he insists that it didn't look that bad.
Recently at lunch, I complimented him on his latest trip to the barber.
"I was looking at my wedding photos. Matt, I forgot what it was like when I had hair," he said.
"But even then, you really didn't have hair, Dad," I said.
"It was something, though," he said.
"More like nothing," I said.
If youth is wasted on the young, then hair is definitely wasted on everyone who isn't bald. Fortunately, I wasn't one of those poor saps who started losing his hair in high school or college. Back then I had a mane so thick my scalp would hurt when I put a brush through it. I even used mousse on occasion, which left its bottle as a liquid and then miraculously transformed into a mass in my hand. I can even remember how it smelled, perfumed and syrupy sweet. It left my hands sticky after a generous application. I didn't realize it would be a love affair that would end.
There are so many things I would have done differently had I realized I would be bald by 30. There are so many hair styles I never got to experience that I wished I had: mohawks, dreadlocks, perms, mullets. All hair fantasies involve music from the 80s and me strutting through a crowd pointing at imaginary fans, letting them know that I see them and I know they see me and my awesome hair.
And when I first began to lose my hair, I thought it was an optical illusion. I found out when I started teaching fifth-graders. My colleague Ms. Cannon inspected me one day. "Mr. Borden, you're going bald," she said. "You have a big space on the back of your head." I appreciated Ms. Cannon because she was a straight talker, even though she could hurt your feelings while she was keeping it real. What could I say? She was right. Eventually I came to face my reality and got what the kids called a "baldie." All my hair was shaved, and my days of using hair products were officially over.
This hairless reality has not been reflected in my dreams. They all follow the same script: I am in a dimly lit bathroom, staring at myself in a mirror. I glance at my head and gasp in amazement upon seeing myself with a full head of hair. Instantaneously, I realize that my baldness phase had been an enormous misunderstanding… with myself. I was preventing myself from having hair with my insistence on shaving my head. What a fool. If I just stopped shaving my head it would all come back. Then I wake up.
I told my wife about my recurring dream and she laughed. Then she kissed my scalp. "I love you just the way you are," she said. Maybe. But how much more would she would love me if I had hair?
In some ways I do feel responsible for my plight. In my carefree hair days, I mocked my friend Hirsch who used a shampoo in his 20s to stymie his loss. I laughed at my friend Eeyore, who fastidiously shaved his head every other day to deal with his receding hairline. My mother's father had hair until he died, and so I believed I was to be promised the same fate. I thought my destiny was to be a silver fox, a John Slattery. But the only thing that has turned gray is my beard. That just makes me feel even older.
The hair I have left is a problem now, actually. My eyebrows are going through a difficult time. Stray hairs shoot out from all directions like a child's drawing of sun. I am grimly aware that it is only a matter of time until these furry caterpillars blossom, not into beautiful butterflies, but into shaggy beasts that will live for eternity beneath my temple and mock me as they softly chant, "You are getting old." Shut up, eyebrows.
But what is it about going bald that is so frightening to so many? What goes through the minds of those who think they are fooling the world with a bad comb-over? I resent and feel empathy, in equal measure, for these men who want to be a member of a club that doesn't even acknowledge their existence. It's not as though anyone with a great head of hair sees a man with a comb-over and asks him for the name of his barber. I want to start a website, Just Shave It Dot Com, which would consist only of pictures of men with bad comb overs. I will point them out and humiliate them until they come to their senses. Tough love from one bald man to another. A hairless revolution is brewing, and I am on the front lines. Bald can be virile—just ask Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Taye Diggs, or Patrick Stewart. Bald can be bold. I choose to be bald, rather than suffer the indignity of balding. Just Shave It. Keep your dignity.
And to all those who have hair, I implore you to treasure it. Regardless of your weight, height, or looks, there will always be a bald man somewhere out there, staring longingly at your hair, wishing he could be you. It might even be me. Although I have come to grips with the fact that I am bald, a part of me will always hope for the impossible. Recently, I received an email from a local athletic store, promoting a new study that purported to show a connection between barefoot running and hair growth. My heart started beating rapidly as I imagined my new exercise regime. It wasn't until I reached the third paragraph that it became apparent that it was an April Fool's Day joke. In addition to being virile, apparently bald men can be suckers too.

When someone you went to high school with is killed

what's this?

Monday morning around 9am there was a car crash here in my area. I went to high school with this woman whose name is Heather Tolbert. She was in a grade or two below me and she was 39 years old. I knew her a little in my senior year before graduating. I haven't seen her since. Reading about this accident makes me value my life even more after this tragedy. She was driving a 1988 Chevy S-10 pickup truck. She went off the right side of the roadway and onto an embankment. She overcorrected and went left of center stricking another vehicle head-on. The guy she hit head-on is 49 years old, and he's okay. She was unrestrained and was tossed from her vehicle. She was transported by squad to the hospital and was later pronounced dead. It was on front page news in todays newspaper. If anyone would like to checkout the story you can on the newspaper's website (www.portsmouth-dailytimes.com)
I still can't believe another former high school student from my highschool era was killed. The last one being a woman I went to high school with which was killed back in 1996. My thoughts and prayers goes out to Heather's family.
Have any of you ever experienced a death with anyone from your high school days who you went to high school with during the time in high school, or life after high school?

I've had a classmate die in a motorcycle accident, two take their own lives and one of my teachers also committed suicide. This was all during my time in high school. I doubt I would get any news on their deaths now as I live quite far from where I went to school. But it does make you reflect.
Jul 1 @ 2:43PM
I read that in the paper..People fly down 140..That road is curvy...Especially around Sheila blvd where the accident happened..

All people I went to high school (and/or middle school) with (or knew at that time); of them all, only one died due to natural causes - the rest were drug or alcohol related in some way. One was murdered.

Heather was a cute looking girl in high school. She was tall (5'10" or 5'11" in height) and pretty thin. She had short dark hair, and I think she may have even played basketball in high school. But I think she was considered a "wild child" from what I remember.
Jul 1 @ 3:23PM
One was murdered.
Man, that's nuts, Nomi!
Jul 1 @ 4:37PM
well my best friend in high school kill himself this year and no one knows why he was getting married and things where good for him, he had home just a year after leaving the marines where he was in iraq for 6 years on and off .
he will be miss god bless you ray

I went to a small high school. The class of 69 graduated 89 students. I went to the 20th and 30th graduation reunions. There will not be a 40th reunion because only 9 members are still alive.
Jul 1 @ 5:07PM
I've had so many people I went to high school with that have been killed I can't even keep track of them all....the 2 that hurt the most though were my 2 best friends who died within a year and a half of each other
Jul 1 @ 5:17PM
let's see..........
drug overdose
car accident
diabetes complications
.....it's a rough world
Jul 1 @ 5:18PM
Well,so far none of the people I care about are gone thank merciful Deity.
Jul 1 @ 5:23PM
Weird timing on the post. Today I took a neighbor who knocked on my door requesting a ride, down to his aunt's to attend a funeral. He is a black guy raised in the "hood" and his cousin was murdered along with somebody else in a car. I won't get into details beyond saying it was material for the show "48 hours". I understood and could understand his grief. What I could not understand, and did not inquire about, was what a 27 YO mother of four was doing being out, away from her family after two in the morning, the time of her murder. This is totally fucked up.
Jul 1 @ 5:27PM
Almost all of my buds from my show biz days are dead. Many died in their twenties and thirties as a result of car wrecks, overdoses, or murder. Then those that survived had to pay on the credit card of life from intensive partying, and died from liver failure, cancer, and heart attacks. It is a lifestyle that few on here would relate to I suspect.
Jul 1 @ 5:29PM
Oh, I forgot, among the casualties from my rock and roll days, three were murdered.
Jul 1 @ 5:51PM
one died of vehicular accident before we graduated high school and that was it. Mostly from my class became lawyers and drug addicts and drug lords
Jul 1 @ 6:41PM
I had high school friends start to die of heart problems when they passed 50. The life expectency in the U.S. is around 74. That means about 50 % of people will die before they are 74. Enjoy every minute, the good and the bad, because you never know when your time will come.
Jul 1 @ 7:53PM
About a month after graduation...a good friend of mine died in a rollover accident. He had been at a graduation party drinking, and the seat belt laws weren't in affect yet..but I do know that's when talk about it becoming law was starting. He was thrown from the car and it landed right on him. According to the coroner...he died instantly. A year after that....someone I went to school with, he was a grade under me, died in another drunk driving accident..he tried to beat a train, and lost. The train slammed the car, and it burst into flames. He and the other 3 teens in that car died. Then a very good friend of mine.....was like a brother to me, we had been friends since 1st grade was gunned down...he died on the operating table at the hospital.
Yeah...I'd say I've lost a few friends/fellow classmates since 83. Hell...lost a good friend while in jr. high...he was shot in the neck opening day bow hunting season.
Jul 1 @ 8:01PM
One girl I graduated with was killed (along with her two young children) in a house fire, a border that lived with them came home drunk through the night and decided to put a pot of grease on to make fries, then went out to have a smoke, the back draft lite the house up so fast, he being severaly burnt and mom and children died upstairs all huddled together, very sad! One guy who was I believe a grade younger then me was killed trying to out run a train.........and lost. Then back in '92 one of my very dearest friends was murdered at work, people may remember about the McDonald's murders here in Canada, Nova Scotia, made big news, extremly devasting!! Also a girl I graduated with and also worked with many years later died of cancer back in 2000.
Jul 1 @ 9:00PM
My best friend, from high school, died seven or eight years ago in a car accident. The accident
was the morning after our team's last dart match, and he had dropped me off. He was
driving his father's truck, since his car was in the shop, and he just ran off the road and hit
a pole, or tree, for seemingly no reason...
He was a quiet, unassuming guy, but the funeral was surprisingly well attended; I met
lots of people who knew Jim just as well as I did, but whom I had never met!
High school seems like just yesterday, but all of a sudden it's 30+ years later; I'm sure
that many others from my class are gone, but this one hurt the most...
Jul 1 @ 9:26PM
A couple years after I graduated a girl who I went to school with, she was murdered at the neighborhood swimming pool (never went there again). She was working as a life guard and had gone back to the shack to get something...
I found out when I was walking up to get something from the store, and had to walk around all these cop cars and an ambulance.
Her name was
Ali Kemp
. Anyway, even though I barely knew her, it was probably one of the most shocking things that I have ever experianced. That kind of chill... well it isn't something you forget.
Jul 9 @ 9:26PM
Strad your not alone my best friend & 3 other friends & one burned alive in a truck ....It happened in 1987 ...Im almost 42 & it still messes w/ me today
Jul 9 @ 9:59PM

Go green at Electric Picnic with Electric Ireland and Mr Motivator!
Following the success of Dancergy in 2012, 90s fitness expert Mr Motivator is back to power the picnic with a series of Dancergy sessions on the Electric Ireland sustainable energy dancefloor.
In addition, this year a limited number of festival goers will be able to light up the picnic at night with 5,000 Dancergy bands available from the Electric Ireland tent. Created by Xylobands and seen at the Coldplay Mylo Xyloto World Tour, these LED wristbands will be powered on by Twitter using the hashtag #dancergy.
With the installation of a sustainable energy dance floor at the Electric Ireland tent at Electric Picnic, Mr Motivator will lead daily dance sessions where festival goers will have the opportunity to take to the floor and generate power as the dancefloor converts the kinetic energy of dancing people into electricity.
Other measures that Electric Ireland are undertaking in line with the sustainability ethos of the festival include the provision of 6km of energy efficient festoon lighting around the camp sites and walk ways to the main arena to reduce the festival's lighting emissions by 80% and a bank of 25 solar panels to contribute towards the power requirement on site.

A History of the Problems of Philosophy
Vol. 1
by Paul Janet and Gabriel Seailles
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
Our genius is practical, and has shown itself so even in this matter; for poetry reaches the results of philosophy by short cuts, and without the endless linkage of argumentation. A practical people is always prudent, and seeks aims well within its reach; and we have cultivated science rather than philosophy and the inventive applications of science more than its abstract inquiries. We shun adventurousness even in the world of thought except that of the imagination, which has the freedom of irresponsibility ;and it is not strange that we should refuse the most adventurous of all enterprises, namely, that of constructing schemes of thought which shall explain the Universe of Being. For, amongst civilized nations, England ranks with Rome the great practical people of ancient times in the comparative barrenness of its speculations. It has originated no systematic interpretations of reality able to command the allegiance and dominate the thought of other countries. Our greatest philo sophers either have been critics or they have been defenders of foregone conclusions; they have not had in their disposition enough either of heroism or Quixotism to put the lance in rest against the world. Locke and Hume investigated the Human Under Ostanding, and sought to make human thought more sober in its undertakings; Berkeley, the most boldly constructive of all our philosophers, worked in the service of theology, and sought premisses for its conclusions; Hobbes, the hardiest of all our thinkers, not even excepting Hume in some respects, left behind him no theory of the world.

Joe's Blog
This blog is for Miss Jovanovich's algebra and geometry classes to share ideas, ask questions, and reflect on what skills and topics we are studying. If we are lucky, we might even get a chance to connect with other students studying the same stuff.

Hello everyone!
First week after break is done! Yaaaaaaayyy! Only about 2 months until summer vacation! I had a great week, capped off by a really windy track meet. But we won, so that's ok.
Anyway, this week in geometry we had a Quest! I like the fact that it was a quiz length, but counted for a test. It made it seem easier to me. I think that transformations were pretty easy, and that I did well on the quiz.
We also started radicals, which are deceptive. I can't figure out if I'm gong to like them or not, or if they will be easy or not. I did ok on the homework for them, but I think I could use some practice with them.
Anyway, I have to go!

Trex Company Inc. Stock Upgraded (TREX)
TheStreet) -- Trex Company (NYSE: TREX) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, expanding profit margins, growth in earnings per share and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow.NEW YORK (

TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.

- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 5.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 39.3%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period. Although other factors naturally played a role, the company's strong earnings growth was key. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- 41.40% is the gross profit margin for TREX CO INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 12.80% significantly outperformed against the industry average.
- TREX CO INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TREX CO INC reported poor results of -$0.79 versus -$0.67 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.75 versus -$0.79).
- Even though the current debt-to-equity ratio is 1.21, it is still below the industry average, suggesting that this level of debt is acceptable within the Building Products industry. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 0.84 is weak.

A middle school student is charged with bringing a gun to campus and putting their school on lock-down.
It happened at Bertie Middle School on Wednesday, and a student was arrested according to Chief Deputy Greg Atkins.
After the student was removed from the school and the gun confiscated, Atkins says officials put the school on lock-down to conduct a thorough search as a precaution.
Since the student is a juvenile, their name has not been released.

New Welcome Center simplifies relocation
July 1, 2010
By Andrew Sharbel, Belvoir Eagle
FORT BELVOIR, Va. - Fort Belvoir held its grand opening for the Welcome Center for Soldier in- and out-processing Thursday at its new location behind the Bowling Center.
The opening of the new center will make the transition from duty stations easier on both Soldiers and family members.
Its opening allows agency representatives from TRICARE, ID cards, Housing, Child and Youth Services, Joint Personal Property Shipping Office, Army Community Service and many others, all under one roof.
Before the new center, Soldiers arriving to Belvoir had to visit 24 different agencies or activities all over the installation, including housing, the identification card section, dental, medical, transportation, military pay and education facilities.
Soldiers departing from Belvoir must visit the same 24 agencies, plus an additional four: Army Substance Abuse Program, Social Work Services, Behavioral Health and the barracks.
Diana Franco, Belvoir's Directorate of Human Resources' lead for in and out processing, noted the goal is to make the process much simpler and less stressful for Soldiers.
"The main purpose of the Welcome Center is to make sure the Soldiers have as smooth a transition as possible for them to meet the requirements of the Army when processing into an installation," Franco said. "This new center is going to make it easier for them, as well as save them money and time."
Franco also noted that, with the large number of new Soldiers coming onto post due to Base Realignment and Closure regulations, it is essential to make the process as efficient as possible.
"In preparation for BRAC, we are going to be getting a lot more Soldiers on the installation and this change will reduce the number of Soldiers driving around base to meet their requirements," Franco said.
Franco also said Soldiers in- and out-processing will now see a dramatic reduction in the time needed for both processes.
All Soldiers and units tied to Fort Belvoir, including Army National Guard and Army Reserve units, will be using the facility. Soldiers in organizations such as Human Resources Command, Defense Logistics Agency and Army Materiel Command will also in and out process at the center.
The center, in the old Shoppette between Dunkin' Donuts and the Bowling Center, will allow a representative from each of those 28 agencies to be under one roof, allowing Soldiers to reduce the necessary time from 10 days to no more than three days for in and out processing.
According to Installation Command Sgt. Maj. Gabriel Berhane, the establishment of the one-stop welcome center was a long-time vision for Installation Commander Col. Jerry Blixt.
Blixt noted the event was much more than just a grand opening.
"It is a historic day for us at Fort Belvoir. I am very proud of the Belvoir team for being able to accomplish this task," Blixt said. "I don't look at this so much as a grand opening, but also a celebration for us today. To have an in and out processing center for our Soldiers is very important to the quality of services we provide to everyone who comes through our gates and this is just one step in that process."
The new center is open Mondays through Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

I would recommend a long hair swim cap for large heads. It has extra room for the long hair.
Answered by SwimOutlet.com on 2/7/2016
best cap ever
As a swimmer for 16+ years iv tryed ALOT of caps but none fit right because of my long hair. This cap is WONDERFUL if you have long hair I mean like not to your shoulders or just under I mean Long my hair from root to tip is 18inches and this cap holds it all in and works wonderful the only tad bit tricky part is trying to get your bun in the right spot because this cap has an extra spot for your bun but after 2 3 tries of getting your bun in the right spot its super easy. This cap will work for you if you have long hair!

Perfect fit
Great fit, I have a 22.5" head plus long hair, the cap fits snug without cutting off my circulation and is long which allows it to fit over my ears and holds all my hair out of my face. I am no professional swimmer, and for laps in my pool this rocks. Nice heavy duty silicon, so it feels like it will really last.

Great fit and stays in place
I love the extra room for my hair, it easily covers the majority of my ear also. Definitely for people with long hair. It stays in place and is very easy to put on.

Still hard to put on and really, really snug.
It met my requirements to fit my thick hair. It's still hard to get on. It's so snug that I have red marks on my forehead when I remove the cap.

Goggles and hair stay put
This is my 2nd cap.. I had first one for a year and it tore.i use it for every swim because it keeps my goggles in place.Goes on easy and allows room for ponytail.I think it split because I swim in pool in winter.
Little g
Happy that I took a chance on this cap! Worth extra expense!
Put hair up first, wet , to avoid soaking any chemicals into your hair. The cap is not difficult to put on, like other latex or silicone cross. But keep fingernails and hair clips from breaking through it to cause rip. If you make a good seal, putting hair in a tie helps, then your hair stays virtually dry, which has been great! There is extra room in this cap for long hair, but it still fits snug enough to make a good seal. I haven't tried conditioning wet hair beforehand, but with the good seal, it might keep the conditioner from getting into the pool water. Very happy I tried this cap!!! Works as I hoped. My new everyday Lap-swimming cap.

Web design and development for a music editorial.
Under the Radar bills itself as "The Solution to Music Pollution" and as their name suggests, they have absolutely garnered a reputation for discovering and giving ink to up-and-coming bands. They were early supporters of Bright Eyes, Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley, M.

They came to us looking for a viable way to bring their magazine online. Not a Pitchfork, this true mom-and-pop business consists of Mark (the editor) and his wife Wendy (the photographer). To allow them to publish their content in as compelling a way as possible, we designed a homepage that allows the newest item to be pushed to the top, no matter the category, so that the visit always appears fresh. Built upon a ExpressionEngine backend, the site is truly an efficient, less-is-more solution that stands the test of time for one simple fact: it feels good to read.

Under the Affordable Care Act, the quality of health care you receive is supposed to improve. Hospitals, for example, are expected to reduce readmissions, cut down on unnecessary tests. But these are the kinds of services that have been the bread and butter of hospitals for years. Take them away, and the hospital loses money. So the challenge for hospitals is how to increase quality and still stay in business. Patty Wight visited one hospital in western Maine that's grappling with that task, and tonight she has the first of two reports on what she found out.
Harvard Pilgrim's vice president for Maine says, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the nonprofit insurer will offer plans on the exchange starting in January.
For decades, the best way to get good health insurance in the U.S. has been through the workplace. But with the Affordable Care Act's online marketplace, health insurance doesn't have to be tied to a job anymore. It's allowing some people to escape so-called "job lock" - saying with a job purely for the health benefits. And while critics of the ACA worry that the law will encourage companies to cut staff and hours to avoid insurance mandates, some Maine workers say new insurance options have freed them to pursue their career ambitions. Patty Wight reports.

Lighting That Leads For Parking Facilities
By John George
A well-designed lighting system is a critical success factor for a parking facility that wants to create a welcoming environment leading to repeat business. Consider the following when addressing your lighting needs so your customers can feel safe and secure.
Provide adequate illumination in areas of the parking facility depending on the task conducted. Increased light levels are needed where activity is higher or where vehicular and pedestrian traffic may cross, such as drop-off zones or entrances. Excessive illumination is unnecessary and wastes energy.
Create an atmosphere of excellent visibility by lighting vertical surfaces to note potential obstacles, such as changes in elevation or traffic intersections. Well-placed luminaires with appropriate photometric distributions avoid glare for drivers and pedestrians, and eliminate dark areas where intruders might hide. Good vertical illumination allows quick identification of objects and people, as well as proper imaging by surveillance systems, and also minimizes contrast between bright light sources and adjacent walls or surfaces.
In addition to energy efficiency objectives, many corporate and community sustainability programs have been adopted to address other environmental issues. Among these are "light trespass" and "Dark-Sky" initiatives. By selecting light fixtures with efficient optics and directing the light output effectively, the amount of light spilling across property boundaries or up into the night sky can be limited or even eliminated, as often required by local ordinances. Accommodation for alternative transportation, green-powered motor vehicles, and electric vehicle charging stations also might be provided to support green building programs.
Select light sources with good color-rendering properties. This facilitates the quick identification of one's own vehicle, as well as other pedestrians. When unfortunate incidents do occur, the accurate description of an object or person may lead to rapid resolution.
Selecting energy-efficient and long-life lighting systems decreases operating costs for parking facilities and projects the image of a well-maintained business. Utility bills and labor costs to replace lamps or maintain luminaires are reduced, both positively impacting the
bottom line.
A "smart" lighting control strategy can help a parking facility save energy, while creating a more comfortable structure for visitors. Luminaires may be dimmed during the day when natural light is available, particularly in perimeter areas. Lighting in transition areas, such as entrances and exits, may be programmed to assist in visual adaptation, particularly when entering from bright sunlight. Occupancy sensors and time scheduling may be incorporated where volume varies greatly by time of day or between weekday and weekend hours. Bi-level switching triggered by occupancy sensors may also be used as a way to highlight activity as part of a crime prevention program.
Lighting can be a fun and creative way to help direct traffic through a space. Using visual cues, such as signs, colors or lines of light, can be an extremely effective way to highlight certain key areas, such as parking zone identification, elevator lobbies, stairwells, payment kiosks, and exits. Speedy flow and transaction times contribute to increasing one's sense of security in a parking facility.
Parking garages can reduce their overall energy bill through incentive programs offered by national utilities. For example, the Sylvania Source Incentive Tracking system was created to provide access to information concerning available incentives related to the lighting industry. Utilizing government and publicly available resources, together with direct contact with energy professionals, Osram Sylvania monitors incentive developments for federal, state and individual utility incentive programs. Unless otherwise specified, the noted incentive programs are ongoing or available until funding is depleted. The database is updated on a monthly basis. More than 1,700 utilities (IOU, MUNI & Co-ops) are monitored, and more than 750 utilities have lighting incentive programs – and growing.
CASE STUDY: Lakeland HealthCare Parking Facility
Stretching across three counties in Southwestern Michigan, Lakeland HealthCare is a not-for-profit, community-owned system of care, and one of the region's preeminent providers of integrated health-related services. Its network consists of four acute-care hospitals offering cardiovascular care, obstetrics, cancer care and surgery, as well as a range of other care options, including walk-in clinics, long-term care, homecare, laboratory and radiology services, rehabilitation and other services.
Lakeland has strong ties to the community, offering health, safety, wellness and prevention events, classes and programs throughout the year. Its commitment to those communities stretches beyond just the services it provides to patients, and Lakeland feels a strong sense of responsibility to strive toward safety, sustainability and energy efficiency as well.
That commitment was put on display when the health care system decided to upgrade the 175W metal-halide lamps in a four-level parking facility at its Lakeland HealthCare facility in St. Joseph, MI. A power outage at the site would often cause the existing metal-halide lamps and ballasts to fail, raising security concerns.
Lakeland undertook a careful examination of available solutions to replace the 231 metal-halide lamps on-site. The healthcare provider selected the LED Retrofit Kit because of its low-power output, providing significant energy and cost savings. The directional distribution delivered light only where needed, while improving safety and security within the parking facility.
Before the Retrofit Kits were installed, a power outage would often cause the existing metal halide lamps and ballasts to fail. With the implementation of the LEDs, this problem was instantly resolved, as the LEDs immediately powered on after an outage. This allowed for Lakeland to wire the fixtures directly into the backup generator, providing backup lighting in the case of an outage, keeping the facility well-lighted at all times.
The retrofit project is estimated to deliver impressive energy, cost and maintenance savings for Lakeland's St. Joseph HealthCare facility. This lighting retrofit will save 326,299 kWh annually, thanks to the reduced energy consumption of the LED retrofit kit, saving $26,103.92 in annual energy costs for the healthcare facility. It also will result in a savings of 641,277 lbs of CO2 annually.
Additionally, this lighting retrofit stands to save Lakeland an estimated $18,212 annually in maintenance costs. Combining these savings with a utility energy rebate, the project will provide tremendous benefit for a not-for-profit organization such as Lakeland now and into the future.
The results of this project helped create a chain reaction within Lakeland, and the organization quickly began examining what other facilities could be retrofit with an energy-efficient LED lighting solution. Future plans include similar LED retrofits in other facilities, helping increase energy and cost savings even further.

Evidence-Based Medicine: Examining the Gap Between Rhetoric and Reality
Published Online: Thursday, October 17, 2013
Maurie Markman, MD
Editor-in-Chief of OncologyLive
Senior vice president for Clinical Affairs and National Director for Medical Oncology
Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Eastern Regional Medical Center
Today, there's a mantra in oncology practice and other specialties that has become as exalted and unassailable as motherhood and apple pie. That mantra is: evidence-based medicine. We all want it, and why not?
Since the term began gaining popularity in the 1990s, evidence-based medicine generally has been defined as the "conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients."1 Yet, even as that concept increasingly becomes a yardstick by which clinical strategies are evaluated and reimbursed, it has become e vident that the rhetoric and the reality are hardly identical.
As noted by one of this commentator's colleagues: "Evidence-based medicine is for a patient in another's family. For someone in my family, I would want treatment based on what is best for my family member's individual needs."
The public is not far behind in sharing this sentiment. An Internet-based survey conducted several years ago found that 83% of the respondents "were convinced that forcing doctors to follow guidelines would prevent them from tailoring care to individual patients and that no outside group should come between doctors and patients."2
Of course, the issue is far more complicated than suggested by the label "evidence-based medicine" and the counter-argument that "guidelines" may actually impair the delivery of optimal medical care. However, that is the point: Medical management, especially in such complex illnesses as cancer, is complex and needs to be recognized as such.
How Statistics Don't Always Add UpTwo highly respected commentators succinctly and quite eloquently frame the essential discussion and clearly highlight the profound dilemma. Speaking about his own diagnosis of fatal malignant mesothelioma, which he outlived for nearly 20 years, the late renowned paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould noted:
"But all evolutionary biologists know that variation itself is nature's only irreducible essence. Variation is the hard reality, not a set of imperfect measures for a central tendency. Means and medians are the abstractions. Therefore, I looked at the mesothelioma statistics quite differently, and not only because I am an optimist who tends to see the doughnut instead of the hole, but primarily because I know that variation itself is the reality. I had to place myself amidst the variation."3
Equally thought provoking on the topic of rigidly defining disease management based on the data generated from evidence-based (randomized) clinical trials are the words of the highly respected clinician Sherwin B. Nuland, MD, who writes the following in his book, The Uncertain Art: Thoughts on a Life in Medicine:
"Though the advent of correctives such as the randomized controlled clinical trial and the newly popular notion of evidence-based medicine may have lessened the uncertainty inherent in general principles of therapy, they are unlikely ... to usefully affect the care of an individual man, woman, or child to the degree claimed or predicted by their most adamant advocates. Given the spectrum of illness presentation, we will be left with what we have always had and always will have—the acceptance of the long-established principle that the practice of medicine is characterized by uncertainty and will always require judgment in order to be effective. That is its very nature."4
Evidence Is Often LimitedBeyond the philosophical musings of these highly rational thinkers, we have hard facts. A recent report examining original articles published in The New England Journal of Medicine over a 10- year period (2001-2010) found that fully 40.2% (n = 146) of 363 articles that tested the utility of a standard of care in medical practice were unable to confirm its benefit compared with only 38% that "reaffirmed" the utility of the strategy.5 So, just how useful is evidence if 40% of the time a subsequent study will refute what today is considered standard? And, how can we ever know which 40% will be wrong—and which 38% are actually correct—when we are considering the use of such evidence to recommend therapy to an individual patient today?

The internet feels refreshingly accepting of—or at least interested in—aging, lately. As more and more ad campaigns and blogs feature talented fashion stars alongside fresh faced models (see the popularity of Advanced Style, Jeurgen Teller's ads for Marc Jacobs, and the now-dated but still-tumbled Tom Ford Forever Love campaign), and as runway shows continue to utilize over-25 supermodels (see Kate at Louis Vuitton, Naomi at Zac Posen...) still walking as fiercely as the days they were discovered, the world may slowly become a sexier place for the middle-aged.
Justin Timberlake's hiatus from music felt all-too long, but has he aged much during it? Perhaps he's aware of a new responsibility he has as an artist sans boy-band-level screaming fans. Hosting Saturday Night Live for the fifth time (an honor shared with comedians for the most part past middle-age) and rumored to be in the running for the part of Daddy Warbucks in Annie, he's publicly taken on the task of growing up—which is more than we can say for many child-stars of his ilk.
His newest video, "Mirrors," directed by Floria Sigismondi follows an insecure young couple to their old age (played by Timberlake's real grandparents!), much like David Bowie's newest video, "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" traces an aging couples' insecurities about forgotten youth. All is not lost, though, in the end: Timberlake, not at all too old to dance, glides around a house of mirrors, somewhere between depictions of worried youth and sentimental old age. And he's still got it.

Re: bridesmaid dress alterations
posted at 6/8/2011 4:42 PM EDTOoh, yes! I used A Fine Fit in Burlington to have my e-pics dress fitted and they were awesome! Amy, the owner, is really nice! She did my dress very quickly (I needed it in less than a week and she got it done perfectly!) and her prices were very good! I had another dress done a while back and it took 4 weeks and cost more for the same thing (hem and taking in the straps a little). The shop is located very close to the Burlington Mall.

The F-S-U MIAMI match up has always been known for close games... But last night was a different story.
F-S-U put forty-five points on the board. One of those touchdowns was the 90-yard-run by Christ Thompson, and that is the longest run Miami has allowed in school history.
With the Seminoles coming back to Tallahassee with a huge win. F-S-U students on campus were buzzing with excitement.
David Neuman, a sophomore at FSU said, "I was so thrilled that we just demolished them. It was great"
Students enjoyed the camaraderie, and for senior Elizabeth Levy she was ready to see a big win. "It's just a great feeling being at FSU," she said.
The students we spoke to are excited to see what the rest of the season holds, and they are confident that Head Coach Jimbo Fisher will lead them to victory.

Pratt & Whitney F117 Engines Surpass 10 Million Flight Hours On C-17 Fleet
EAST HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pratt & Whitney's F117 engine, the exclusive power for the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III airlifter, recently exceeded 10 million engine flight hours. At the same time, the C-17 exceeded 2.5 million flight hours while supporting military and humanitarian mission in support of U.S. and allied troops around the globe. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) company."This milestone is a testament to the reliability of the F117 engine," said Bev Deachin, vice president, Military Programs and Customer Support, Pratt & Whitney. "The exceptional performance of our engines – in some of the harshest conditions – has helped the C-17 Globemaster III save countless lives in military, humanitarian and disaster relief missions around the world." Since 2006, Pratt & Whitney's F117 engines have accumulated more than six million flight hours in support of worldwide air mobility missions. To put this in perspective, it took 13 years of operational service for the engine to reach its first four million flight-hour milestone. This statistic reflects the C-17's increased workload over the past several years. At the same time that the F117 has achieved 10 million flight hours, the company is also celebrating with Boeing 15 years of successful partnership on the performance-based logistics contract for the C-17. "Through Pratt & Whitney's ongoing investment in product improvements and industry partnerships the engine continuously surpasses established goals of time on-wing and support turnaround time," said Deachin. "The F117 engine can remain on-wing for up to eight years between servicing visits, which lowers maintenance costs and provides outstanding mission readiness for C-17 customers." The C-17 Globemaster III – the world's premier heavy airlifter – is operated by four F117 engines, each rated at 40,440 pounds of thrust, enabling the C-17 transport to carry a payload of 164,900 pounds and fly 2,400 nautical miles without refueling.

Talk:Funtoo Linux Installation
Revision as of 02:18, March 4, 2014 by Brantgurga (Talk) (publishing change I made to talk page)
The grub-install command does not have the --no-floppy option. --ferdy The crazy chroot command, while necessary I guess, is getting out of control. Is there a way we can trim it down and still keep things sane?
AFAK this is a SysRescueCD specific issue, alternative:
- chroot /funtoo/mount/path /bin/bash as usual
- once chrooted just unset path: unset path
Here are the rules for this doc -
- Keep things simple, and reasonably short.
- Explain all steps just enough to provide context, but not enough to interrupt the flow of the document.
- Integrate reasonable defaults into the doc that users can and will be expected to use successfully for their own installs. Don't include millions of "if/then" statements. Make reasonable assumptions.
- Recommend preferred approaches for install rather than exhaustively cover all possibilities.
- Don't use this doc to make your own personal recommendations.
- Don't cater to a specific sub-community - keep things general.
- Following this guide should result in a successful installation of Funtoo Linux.
- Optional topics should not clutter the main flow of the document - break them out to their own pages.
- Installing Funtoo can be educational, but the primary goal of this document is to help users get Funtoo Linux up and running successfully. Changes to the doc should be made in the hopes of increasing the % of successful installs. Educate, but do not overwhelm.
OK, I think I have repeated myself enough :)

text: 06 September 2013 archive See all show photos WHEN you think about fashion decades, there are certain brands that sit very specifically within certain times. Helmut Lang was all about the Nineties, which means the label - now helmed by Nicole and Michael Colovos – should be coming into its own this season as the decade continues to inspire (or possibly play on the nostalgic heartstrings of) designers right now. With this collection, it was all about spaghetti straps (get set to see a lot more of these), dresses pieced together with panelling in pink, white and splashes of black, and signature minimalism in the shape of slightly boxy bustiers, skirts and dresses.

Broadway was the original name of Northern Boulevard. Before the area was developed it consisted mostly of nurseries owned by families named Parsons, King and Murray. This area was developed in1889, and in April of that year, the Murray Hill LIRR station was built on 150th Street and 41st Ave.
McGoldrick Community Library has had many different locations. Originally in 1911 service was provided from a small traveling station- unfortunately it closed in 1916 because of low circulation. In 1925 library service was started again but then closed two years later since adequate space for the library could not be found. In 1930, the library was established as the Broadway-Flushing library.
In July 1931, the library moved to a building on 162nd street and Broadway. During this time the name of the library was changed to McGoldrick to honor the late Reverend Edward F. McGoldrick, a local pastor and library trustee.
The library was moved twice to two different locations on Depot Road over the next 40 years, until 1974 when the library moved to its present location on 155th street and Roosevelt Avenue. The library serves a residential diversified community including Chinese, Korean and Spanish populations and has many materials available to the customers in their home language.

When you're new to your Android phone, you may not know the phone number to the device. Heck! You never have to use it, right? Fortunately, there is a way to view the phone number assigned to your Android phone within the settings.
The location may vary depending on your version of the Android OS. For many versions, you can use these steps.
- From the Home screen, open "Settings".
- Scroll down and select "About phone" or "About device". Some versions of Android display the phone number on this screen. If not, proceed to step 3.
- Select "Status" or "Phone identity"
Your phone number should be displayed on the screen.
Why does my phone number show as "Unknown"?
There may be a problem with your account or your SIM card was not inserted properly. Try re-seating the SIM card. Otherwise, contact your wireless provider.

Hey all!
Just a short note to let you know that I've created a tumblr account, where I will now be uploading my motivational posters, and probably some other random stuff as well. Here is the link:
I'm doing this because deviantART's guidelines are very unspecific when it comes to using screen caps in motivational posters. Since I'm not a huge fan of being trolled by a bunch of rule-citing know-it-alls, I've decided to stop uploading motivational posters here (although the ones already on the site will remain). So, as mentioned, my motivational posters will now be uploaded to tumblr instead. So check it out!

House Speaker Jim Black is appealing a ruling that his campaign took illegal campaign donations. Black wants a judge to overturn a State Board of Elections ruling that his campaign took $6,800 in illegal donations from fellow optometrists. The appeal doesn't ask a judge to prevent the board from referring Black and his campaign to the district attorney's office to consider potential criminal charges.
