Growing consumer pressure for green products along with the promise of brand enhancement and greater market share mean that sustainability is the packaging megatrend that every company wants to tap into.
The market for sustainable and green packaging is forecast to be worth just under US$108bn in 2011 – with the prospect of consistent growth over the next decade, according to industry analysts Visiongain.
As brand owners seek to meet consumer preference for sustainable products, manufacturers will continue to come under pressure to use eco-friendly materials and reduce the adverse environmental impact of packaging in landfill.
However, challenges remain in terms of higher costs for renewable materials combined with limitations on their performance.
Technological advancements related to light weighting packaging, the adoption of production methods that require low-energy consumption and the ability to adapt materials from renewable sources will continue to drive innovation and growth.
The Sustainable Packaging Virtual Conference will explore how the industry can meet eco-challenges while containing costs and guaranteeing that packaging does its main job – keeping food safe, nutritious and appealing from factory to fork.

The globalisation of the food industry coupled with stricter regulatory oversight means the ability to guarantee the shelf life of products has become essential.
Longer supply chains provide significant opportunities for brand owners to broaden their market reach. But such prospects rely on technical innovation to extend the shelf life of foodstuffs as they travel greater distances across the globe.
These trends, combined with the burgeoning consumer appetite for more natural tasting processed foods, have spurred the emergence of a raft of novel technologies that seek to maintain food quality while lengthening shelf life.
High pressure processing, active and intelligent packaging and predictive modelling are all driving advances as packaging and processing technology providers bid to meet consumer and food manufacturer aspirations.
The Controlling Shelf Life Virtual Conference 2011 will bring together leading industry voices in these key areas to discuss cutting edge technology, market trends and brand owner requirements.

Twilight Sea Turtle
Cloud B
2255 Jefferson Street
Torrance, CA 90501
Sometimes toddlers and preschoolers need a little reassurance that nighttime and the dark aren't scary. My children, like a lot of yours, attached themselves to a blanket or a stuffed animal and loved going to sleep knowing they'd feel comfortable and safe. Cloud B is a company with the comfort of small children in mind. They've thoughtfully considered the emotional needs of little ones and have created their products with the intent of bringing tranquility to your nighttime so that the whole family can have a good night's sleep.
One such delightful product in the Cloud B line is the
Twilight Sea Turtle
. The turtle's beautiful shell lights up in three soothing colors while also highlighting five endangered sea animals: the Blue Whale, the California Sea Otter, the Knysna Seahorse, the Leatherback Turtle, and the Vaquita Dolphin.
The turtle is fun for my two-year-old to look at and play with, for sure, but what he really loves is the its ability to project stars and even the moon on the ceiling. Stars appear in either blue, green, or a combination of both for a double effect. "Look, Mommy! Two moons!" He asks to have the
Twilight Sea Turtle
turned on every night and even at naptimes when the room isn't dark enough.
Twilight Sea Turtle
has auto shut-off, meaning I don't have to sneak in and turn it off; it does so automatically after 45 minutes.
Twilight Sea Turtle
comes with a
Twilight Storybook
, a short story that teaches children about endangered sea animals. There's also a helpful Star Guide and an adoption certificate. Three AAA batteries are included.

Gallaudet University Diversity Officer compromised her own ability to perform
A Commentary
Timothy Kincaid
October 11th, 2012
As fellow Box Turtle Jim Burroway discussed, the Chief Diversity Officer of Gallaudet University, Dr. Angela McCaskill, has been placed on paid suspension as a result of signing an anti-gay marriage petition. Jim believes that the suspension is unwarranted and that she should not be fired (a position shared by the campaigns both for and against Maryland's Question 6).
I, however, think that suspension may have been the University's wisest choice. It's probably not the choice that plays best into our campaign to win equality in Maryland, but I think it may be the choice that best serves the interest of the university and its students.
I respect Dr. McCaskill's right to her political views. I defend her right to religious beliefs. And I support her right to participate in the political process.
But Dr. McCaskill's rights are not the only ones that should be considered. Her employer too has the right to expect an employee to perform their job, and the LGBT students who attend (a group that the media seems incapable to find) have the right to have an advocate who advocates for them.
While political position is generally not a prerequisite for holding most jobs – and, indeed, may not necessarily determine whether a person can perform well in any job – there are some jobs in which perception and public advocacy do impact a person's ability. In situations in which interaction with others requires some level of acceptance and clear communication, a perceived position which threatens or confuses those with whom an employee interacts can make it difficult or impossible to complete their tasks.
For example, a Dean of Theology at a church-affiliated university may be an atheist and still be able to teach religion and administer coursework without difficulty. But if she were to publicly identify as such and advocate for the cessation of all religion it would so complicate matters with her staff and alienate students that it would impact her ability to perform and would probably severely compromise the school's ability to continue operations.
Similarly a Chicano Studies professor may believe that immigration law should be fully implemented and that all those in the country who did not follow the legally established steps should be deported immediately, and still be able to teach history and theory associated with that study. But were he to advocate for such positions in op-eds, he would find his classroom empty or devolved to chaos, a situation that the school would be both entitled and wise to address.
This is not to say that an atheist could not introduce difficult questions or a Chicano studies professor could not discuss the nature of law or challenge presumptions. Indeed, they should do so even if they are the most ardent orthodox Christian or a strong advocate for open borders. But the challenge should be part of a shared experience and should always keep the needs of their students in mind. It should never be easily perceived as "you are out there in public hurting me". Their employer deserves better.
And, unfortunately, that is what has happened in this case. McCaskill's job is to deal with matters that impact students who are not part of the majority, including gay students. She is paid to do that job.
And this is a doubly difficult job in that all of Gallaudet's students are hearing-challenged and start from an outsider's perspective. Being unable to hear in our culture is a significant disadvantage in that so much of our culture is driven by audio cues, nuance, and subtle shading of sound. A written sentence (e.g "I love Mitt Romney") can have the opposite meaning when the spoken sentence is produced with aurally detected snark or sarcasm or irony. And ASL is not a word-for-word direct translation, it is a distinct language; a reality that presents further challenges to feeling a full part of society.
Complicating matters is that often non-hearing people feel more welcomed within the gay community (or, at least, that is what I've been told). Gay events often have signers and there is, by my observation, more general awareness that not everyone is exactly the same. So something that is perceived as hostile to gay people is likely to be felt as "personal" for many more students than just those who are gay.
This isn't to say that McCaskill cannot support gay students with skill and charm. But her job is not limited to ensuring scholastic equality, it also entails addressing the specific concerns and needs of minority students. And feeling equal is unquestionably a specific need of gay students.
So the question is not just whether she can support the LGBT students at Gallaudet. It may be that gay students cannot be supported by her. She may come bearing the message that deaf and hard-of-hearing LGBT students are welcomed and valued, but those students may be unable to receive that message, it being drowned out by the perception of "this woman thinks I'm inferior and unworthy and wants to take away my rights".
Jim notes that he has not seen so much as a hint that her job performance has been in any way diminished before or since signing the petition. I disagree.
While the time before her advocacy against equality became known may not reflect any job diminishment, clearly the time after that act became known has impacted her job. If a single gay student is feeling unwanted and unwelcome and betrayed, then she has accomplished the opposite of what she is employed to do. And clearly some are.
This may be a situation that can be resolved. McCaskill may be able to clarify that she acted rashly and without thinking. She may be able to regain trust. And, as she has a good history and is seen as having been an ally, I suspect that this is something that can be and will be repaired.
But she is specifically tasked with the job of making minority students feel welcomed and included and that she is their advocate. But as currently some are instead feeling alienated and confused, she simply is not performing her job. Gay students are heart broken and angry.
And until such time as those students can again feel that McCaskill, as a representative of Gallaudet, does see them as valued and welcome and included and equal and that she will advocate for their specific needs, then she should not be the one to do perform those tasks. And until Gallaudet can appraise the situation and determine that trust can be regained, they are wise to suspend those specific duties.
I think it is in the best interest of Gallaudet – and gay students, and Dr. McCaskill – that she relinquish diversity duties until after the election and things cool off and that her path forward be determined at that time. If marriage equality passes she will have an excellent pathway to putting this behind her. If not, it may be more difficult to regain the trust of gay students who will feel that society has chosen yet another realm in which to reject, deny, and alienate them and may be less ready to trust someone who played a part in making that happen.

Barbie dolls are wildly popular, and wildly unrealistic. Fans of a still-to-be-built alternative to Barbie are putting their money and behind a company whose tagline is "average is beautiful."

WASHINGTON — Bombshell Barbie, known for her famously impossible measurements and movie-star good looks, may soon know how the rest of us feel.
Artist and researcher Nickolay Lamm is using a crowd-funding campaign to produce a Lammily doll, which he refers to as "normal Barbie."
The tagline on Lammily is "Average is beautiful."
Lamm drew worldwide attention last year when he used body measurements of an average 19-year-old woman provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to create a 3-D model which he took a picture of beside a Barbie doll.
"There is no doll like this on the market," Lamm told The Huffington Post.
In Lamm's CrowdtiltOpen funding project, backers have already contributed more than the $95,000 he needed to produce the first run of dolls.
What's wrong with Barbie?
Lamm says his doll promotes realistic beauty standards, compared with the top- heavy, tiny-waisted Barbie who would have to crawl because of the miniscule ankles on her too-long legs, according to calculations by Rehabs.com.
"Most fashion dolls on the market are dressed like princesses or wear funky outfits," Lamm told HuffPo. "I wanted Lammily to wear clothes that Gap or J. Crew might design."
Lamm says the message of realistic body image targets parents of daughters.
"Many young girls do not care about body image; they just want a fun doll to play with," says Lamm.
Lamm says he's been consulting with a former executive at Mattel (the company that produces Barbie) in readying Lammily for production.
Lammily has brown hair and wears little makeup, says Lamm.
No apologies from Barbie
Mattel has said Barbie's curves were never meant to be realistic, and she was designed to be easily dressed and undressed.
The company drew criticism several weeks ago when Barbie was pictured in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.
On Thursday, advocacy groups urged the Girl Scouts of America to end its partnership with the doll's manufacturer.
Lamm says he is confident his doll will appeal to children.
"She isn't just a doll with typical body proportions; she's a fun doll which just happens to have typical body proportions," says Lamm.
Lamm estimates the first editions of Lammily will be on sale by November 2014.

- Abstract
- Sam Scott is not your average thirteen year old girl. When Sam's friends are off shopping and chasing boys, she's blitzing her junior Aussie Rules competition. Sam doesn't mind that she's the only girl on the Richmond under 14s team, but others do. Her father wants Sam to give up her obession with football and tackle her studies instead, then the class snob calls Sam butch and teases her about acting like a boy. Just as she's finding her fee, Same faces another hurdle. When she turns tourteen on the eve of the finals it looks like Sam will be forced from the game she loves, just for being a girl.

Tic Tac Toe 3D
by 5Star Applications
Download this app if: you want a new take on a classic game.
Developer Notes
This game is the classic Tic Tac Toe, but with a twist. Playing in 3D makes the games more challenging by allowing moves on three boards that are stacked on top of each other. A game is won by placing three is a row on a single board or one move on all boards. See game images for further...
Classic game revived — Just because they made Jaws in 3D, doesn't mean it was any better, but in Tic Tac Toe's case, it's actually quite a nice improvement.

Reading Material
For a neighborhood so steeped in fashion, art and design, it's only fitting that SoHo's bookstores tend to be visually stimulating. Known for publishing GOAT: A Tribute to Muhammad Ali—at 75 pounds, one of the heaviest books in history—Taschen is an ideal spot to browse. Stacked with all manner of art books (and books, like GOAT, that are artworks in themselves), this airy and comfortable boutique was designed by Philippe Starck. Also not to be missed is the Visionaire gallery, home to fashion bibles V, V Man and the store's self-titled, limited-edition magazine. Visionaire is a concept publication; previous editions have come in the form of a collection of records, toys and an oversize (nearly seven feet tall) magazine, among others. The store sells these limited-edition back issues and mounts frequent exhibitions. At the independently owned McNally Jackson Books the stock consists of an extensive amount of fiction (organized by region), graphic design, poetry and fashion-related titles. The store doubles as a café, serving tea, coffee and sweets. In a similar fashion, Housing Works Bookstore Cafe offers warm beverages and snacks with a side of vintage reads from various genres. And with this comfy bookstore's bargain prices you'll never need your Kindle again.

Behind The Wire
David Simon on where the show goes next.
The fourth season of HBO's The Wire comes to an end next Sunday. A show of remarkable complexity, co-written by former Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon and former police detective Ed Burns, it is perhaps the most critically acclaimed TV program of the season. What critics and fans alike have noted is The Wire's remarkable narrative compression; as in the best novels, there is a sense that every detail has a purpose. Early on, The Wire may have impressed viewers with its cop-show chops—the first season focused on the Barksdale drug crew and the investigative police force trying to bring them down—but the show was always about something bigger—namely, the life of the city itself. In the fourth season, which concludes on Dec. 10, the show has expanded its focus from local politics and the drug trade to the public school system; with only one remaining season scheduled, we pressed David Simon on what The Wire adds up to, how the writers' room operates, and what might be in store in Season 5. Simon spoke with me by phone from his office in Baltimore.
Slate: What did you think made The Wire different from The Corner, the HBO miniseries that preceded it?
Simon: The Wire concerned those parts of the book [Simon's original nonfiction account] about why the drug war doesn't work. But we realized that explaining that why the drug war doesn't work would get us only through the first season. So, we started looking at the rest of what was going on in the city of Baltimore. Ed [Burns] and I knew we wanted to touch on education. I had grown up as a reporter at the Baltimore Sun, and I had seen many aspects of local and city administration. Once we began to come up with these different ways of addressing the city as a whole, we had a blueprint for the show.
Slate: If you had to sum up what The Wire is about, what would it be?
Simon: Thematically, it's about the very simple idea that, in this Postmodern world of ours, human beings—all of us—are worth less. We're worth less every day, despite the fact that some of us are achieving more and more. It's the triumph of capitalism.
Slate: How so?
Simon: Whether you're a corner boy in West Baltimore, or a cop who knows his beat, or an Eastern European brought here for sex, your life is worth less. It's the triumph of capitalism over human value. This country has embraced the idea that this is a viable domestic policy. It is. It's viable for the few. But I don't live in Westwood, L.A., or on the Upper West Side of New York. I live in Baltimore.
Slate: What are your models?
Simon: There were no models for us in TV. I admire the storytelling of The Sopranos, though I don't watch it consistently. And Deadwood; I don't watch it, but I admire their storytelling. We certainly weren't paying attention to network TV.
Instead, the impulse on my part is rooted in what I was supposed to be in life, which was a journalist. I'm not interested in conducting morality plays using TV drama—in stories of good versus evil. I'm not interested in exalting character as a means of maintaining TV franchise. Most of TV works this way: You try to get something up and running, and once you do, you just try to keep it going, because there's a lot of money involved. That's not in my head. What's in my head is what I covered, what I saw as true or fraudulent, what made me smile, as a reporter. I've been mining that ever since. To be honest, at the end of The Wire, I'll have said all I have to say about Baltimore. I don't have another cop show in me. I don't have another season about Baltimore. What I'm saying is that I have to go back to the well.

Would your children be able to escape a would-be kidnapper? Florida's Attorney Gen. Charlie Crist says they can if they follow some easy tips.
Crist was in Bay County this week promoting "Escape School," a plan that teaches children and parents how to recognize deceptive practices of a would-be kidnapper. It also demonstrates escape tactics children can use in case of abduction.
Crist told a packed meeting at the Bay County School Board offices, "I think we always have to be vigilant about our children, do everything we can to make them more safe, but certainly when a tragic situation such as Carlie Brucia case occurs, it refocuses and redoubles our efforts to make sure we stay vigilant about it always."

BLUE RIDGE, TX -- Blue Ridge High School has a new head football coach, but they didn't have to go far to find him.
BRISD has promoted Defensive Coordinator Kevin Wiggins to the position of Head Football Coach for the upcoming season.
Wiggins takes over the position vacated by Joe Watson who left the school this off-season.
The Tigers struggled in a tough district last season, but they hope that dropping from Class 2A to 1A will help them be more competitive in 2008.

Bake for about 30 minutes until golden and glazed. Meanwhile, strain the braising liquid and reduce down by half to thicken. A little goes a long way as it is very sweet, but a small amount served with sliced ham is delicious. The gammon goes excellently with mashed potato spiked with a little wholegrain mustard, roasted root veg and steamed green vegetables.

By Lauren Beale
(MCT)—Actress Drew Barrymore and her husband, art consultant William Kopelman, have listed the Montecito estate where they were wed at $7.5 million.
The 1937 traditional-style house sits on more than two acres with mature trees, lawns and a cupola-topped guesthouse. A gravel motor court leads to the brick entry terrace of the 6,258-square-foot house. Features include a foyer with staircase, a paneled living room, a library-study, six bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms.
Barrymore, 38, gained recognition for her role as Gertie in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" in 1982. Among her film credits are "Big Miracle" (2012), "50 First Dates" (2004) and "Charlie's Angels" (2000).
The actress bought the property last year for $5.705 million.

So seeing how #DenounceHarper happened to, uh, cause a bit of a commotion on Canada Day
(Short version: We trended all day long and landed at #1 for about 4 hours and change above #HappyCanadaDay, apparently - if I believe the folks telling me this, and if the Twitter numbers don't, in fact, turn out to be bunk - the longest top trend in Canadian Twitter history. Oh, and we hit #8 on the World Rankings. So, yeah, there's that.)
I figured I'd try and use some of that energy to get some citizen action together.
Born out of my frustration with the seemingly endless stream of secrets, lies and corruption coming out of our Government, #DenounceHarper was my frustrated rallying cry that something must be done.
And if I learned one thing on this July 1st it's this:
I am not alone.
There are a great deal of us who are angry and frustrated and want to hold Stephen Harper and his Harper Government accountable.
And so that's what #DenounceHarper, thanks to you and your inspiration, has evolved into.
The hashtag itself will become a living chronicle of our Government's corruption, used to help educate and share with one another stories that help us stay on top of what our Government is up to.
And I will be doing my best to take my anger, my frustration and channel it into citizen activism.
(As Neil Gaiman so wisely said: Make Good Art - though I'm not entirely sure that it qualifies).
This first event was also inspired by my conversation with Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page - who asked that we take the time to learn how our Government is supposed to work so that when something's not working properly we'll know what's broken instead of just assuming the whole thing is scrap.
Furthermore, as I pointed out in The (Necessary) Rise Of The Digital Protest, I think the future of Digital protesting is going to be less about protesting someone/something directly as much as it will be about educating ourselves to become better protesters.
The more we know the facts, the better we understand our powers (and limitations) as citizens, the more effective we'll be and the more power we'll wield when it does come time for us to hit the streets or engage our elected representatives.
Thus the first step on a new course of citizen empowerment:
And, today, we're going to start right at the basics:
"Yeah, I'm a citizen, so what?"
The first thing any citizen should do is get to know The Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Because, as it turns out, rhese whole 'Rights and Freedoms' things are surprisingly useful (so it's kind of good to know what they are - and what their limitations are).
Clocking in at around 8 pages or so, it's worth the time to get to know it (it's not that complex).
Even more interesting, if you'd like to get a nice (free), fancy version of the charter to hang up on your wall, all you have to do is email email@example.com with your snail mail address and ask for a copy. They'll send you one in a few days.
By right, you're allowed to get one... so why not get one?
Okay, moving on and breaking it down:
SOS Canada has a great breakdown of what's expected of you as a citizen and what powers you hold -- and it's pretty easy to understand, so that's a bonus. Do yourself a favour and bookmark this one and read it in its entirety. Some of it will apply to you, some of it won't, but it's all good information.
From the website:
All Canadians enjoy the following rights:
- Equality rights: equal treatment before and under the low, and equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination
- Democratic rights: such as the right to participate in political activities, to vote and to be elected to political office
- Legal rights: such as the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, the right to retain a lawyer and to be informed of that right, and the right to an interpreter in court proceedings
- Mobility rights: such as the right to enter and leave Canada, and to move to and take up residence in any province
- Language rights: generally, the right to use either the English or French language in communications with Canada's federal government and some of Canada's provincial governments
- Minority language education rights: in general, French and English minorities in every province and territory have the right to be educated in their own language
All Canadians also enjoy fundamental freedoms of religion, thought, expression, peaceful assembly, and association.
What are the responsibilities of a citizen?
Canadians also share common responsibilities. Canadians should:
- understand and obey Canadian laws
- participate in Canada's democratic political system
- vote in elections
- allow other Canadians to enjoy their rights and freedoms
- appreciate and help to preserve Canada's multicultural heritage
All Canadians are encouraged to become informed about political activities, and to help better their communities and the country.
Canadian citizenship also implies the following responsibilities:
- to obey Canada's laws;
- to vote in the federal, provincial and municipal elections;
- to discourage discrimination and injustice;
- to respect the rights of others;
- to respect public and private property; and
- to support Canada's ideals in building the country we all share.
Of course, all of this is great on paper - and we'll be getting into the nuts and bolts of 'obeying the law' later in the week - but it's good to be fully aware of what's expected of us if we're going to interact with our Government, especially if we're going to hold elected officials accountable to us.
Lastly here's a great bit of reading material that helps to explain our system of Government and your place within it, written by The Honourable Eugene A. Forsey
How Canadians Govern Themselves
Takes great pains to explain our system of Government and how best we can take part in it. It speaks to us not in a haughty 'this is how you should act' tone, but explains our nation, it's beginnings and it's underpinnings briskly and well.
Please take the time to read it in full, it's one of the most approachable and easily-digested writings on Canadian Democracy that I've ever read.
And that's Day #1 of Citizen Week. Please follow the Hashtag on Twitter for more articles and posts as we find them and share them - or, if you've found some great stories on citizen empowerment that you'd like to share, please, by all means, join in.

you're waiting at a light and some cyclist cruises right through the red light? Yesterday I was behind a young
woman who ran 4 red lights in a row. This creates an atmosphere of hostility towards cyclists.
There is more to it than just anger. Bad behavior can inspire bad behavior in others.
On another ride I was waiting at a light with two motorcycle guys when a group of 3 elite riders blasted
through the red light at 25 mph. The two motorcyclists did a double take then they decided to run the red light too!
I'm not trying to create drama with this post. I've behaved badly on many occasions.
But I encourage you and me to:
A) be a beacon for others and
B) don't lead them on a downward path.

- Raiders blast Broncos 59-14; fans express their displeasure
- Analysis: Pass-happy Broncos bound to fail
- Broncos' McDaniels holds Tebow back with game out of hand
- Raiders set records in routing Broncos
- Bronco Talk: Words from the locker room after the Raiders' 59-14 win
- Oct 25:
- Orton off mark, now off record pace for yardage
- Raiders 59, Broncos 14: Bests, worsts and the ex factor
In the span of eight seconds on the game clock Sunday afternoon, the Broncos' offense ran two plays that led directly to 14 points.
Points for the Raiders, that is.
Even for a team that has struggled offensively in the first quarter this season — the Broncos have scored only once in the opening period — this was bad. Two plays. Two turnovers. Two Oakland touchdowns.
"It was ridiculous. There were a lot of things ridiculous about this game," Denver quarterback Kyle Orton said after Oakland's 59-14 victory.
The Broncos already were trailing 7-0 when Orton and the offense first took the field, with 10:44 on the game clock. They lined up in their favorite offensive set, with three wide receivers — Jabar Gaffney, Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal — and after the snap, Orton immediately looked to Gaff-ney, who was running a pattern near the right sideline.
The ball was off target, a little behind Gaffney, and Raiders cornerback Chris Johnson jumped in front, caught the ball and had a clear, 30-yard path to the end zone.
"He walked it in," Orton said.
A Sebastian Janikowski extra point and touchback later, back came the Denver offense, this time with a wrinkle.
Instead of Orton under center, it was rookie Tim Tebow in the shotgun.
The Broncos' other first-round draft pick, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, lined up on the left side of the formation, ran into the backfield on an end-around, caught the flip from Tebow and kept running to his right.
Thomas gained barely a yard before Oakland safety Stanford Routt dragged him down by the legs. Before Thomas hit the grass, safety Michael Huff launched onto Thomas' back and knocked the football loose. Defensive end Lamarr Houston snatched the ball up and started running for the end zone before the whistle blew.
Thomas was initially ruled down, but the fumble was confirmed upon a replay challenge by the Raiders. Three plays later, Oakland running back Darren McFadden scored the first of his four touchdowns.
Only six minutes had passed, but the Broncos were done.
"Today the flood gates opened up for us, and we capitalized on it," Oakland defensive end Richard Seymour said. "Anytime you're in a hole early in a game, it's hard to bounce back and implement what you want to do. They probably wanted to have more of a running game and a more balanced attack, but when you're down 21-nothing, it's tough from that standpoint. Trust me, we've been in that situation before. It's good to be on the other side of it."
The Broncos committed only one more turnover in the game — a fumble by Orton after a second-quarter scramble — but the offense never really recovered from that initial blitz. And with the Raiders seemingly running and passing at will on offense, a 21-0 deficit proved insurmountable.
"There was some shock, no question about it," Orton said. "It certainly caught us off guard. We talked about starting fast all week, and we certainly didn't do that."
For that, Orton took the blame.
"We just got outplayed, out-efforted, out-physicaled, outexecuted. And it starts at the top, with the captains, the leadership and me," Orton said.

Have her sleep in her car seat, because she will be propped up for the mucus to drain, and run a COOL mist humidifier. That has been the 2 best things when all of my children were very small babies with colds (I have 4).posted 02/26/2011 by Angela32378
Take her to the pediatrician... the ER would expose her to even more germs and unnecessarily. Get a humidifier and keep pulling out as much of her nose goop as possible. If she's running a mild fever, strip her down to one layer and call the pedo... if her fever is high (over 101), then take her into the ER.posted 02/26/2011 by nursenellie1

Did you get a new iPad Mini for Christmas and find that your WiFi connection keeps dropping off? Or perhaps you are you one of the millions of people throughout Apple's worldwide markets who've purchased an iPad Mini since it's debut on November 2, 2012.
If you own an iPad Mini, you may have been experiencing intermittent WiFi connection issues. One of the biggest complaints from iPad Mini users so far regarding WiFi has been the dropping of their WiFi connection.
If you are an iPad Mini owner and experiencing intermittent WiFi connection issues, or your WiFi connection on your iPad Mini keeps dropping off, here's 4 steps to getting a stable WiFi connection for your iPad Mini.
SEE MORE: iOS 6 WiFi Problems, Explanations, & Solutions
4 Steps To Preventing Intermittent WiFi / Fixing WiFi Problems on your iPad Mini
Let me say also the steps below can be applied to the iPad and in some cases, the iPhone. Basically what I'm saying is this is not an all inclusively trouble-shooting method just for the iPad Mini. However, the iPad Mini is quickly outselling all other iPad versions and because of the "new'ness", the noise seems to be the loudest surrounding iPad Mini wifi problems.
#1: Reset Network Settings
Resetting your network settings is a fast, easy way to trouble shoot your WiFi connection issues on your iPad Mini, and also on your iPad and iPhone as well. Resetting your network settings allows your device to flush out all cache information from your wireless network, DNS and nameserver settings, etc… basically it allows your device to start fresh on your wireless network.
Here's how to reset your network settings on your iPad Mini (iPhone and iPad as well).
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Tap "Settings" icon on your homepage > tap the "General" option > tap on "Reset" > then finally tap on "Reset Network Settings".
#2: Use WPA or WPA2 instead of WEP
During the process of setting up your wireless network in your home or business, most people prefer to enable security. This means, in order for a device to connect to your WiFi network, the user has to first enter a password in order to connect. When setting up security on your wireless network, you probably remember being confused as to which option to chose for the security signal. Typically you can chose between WPA, WPA2, or WEP.
Chose WPA or WPA2 as your security protocol. These protocols are newer, with more effective drivers for security networks compared to the older WEP protocol.
WEP protocol, because it's outdated, is prone to causing intermittent WiFi disconnects on devices such as iPad Mini, iPad, and iPhone. Switching from WEP to WPA or WPA2 will help you eliminate these intermittent WiFi problems with your device.
#3: Update the firmware on your WiFi (wireless) router
If you have a WiFi problem, the implication is that you have a wireless router. Most people don't realize this, but wireless routers are operated by software. And if your software is out of date on your wireless router, then your iPad Mini – or any iPad or tablet computer for that matter – could struggle to hold onto the wireless connection. Outdated firmware shows its ugly head in the form of your iPad Mini connecting to the WiFi network, then for no apparent reason, dropping the connection.
The way you update the firmware to your wireless router varies depending on the type of wireless router you have in your home or office. Somewhere on your wireless router you'll find the manufacturer and model number. For example, a Linksys WRT54g is a very common wireless router found in homes. Write down your wireless router name and model number > then go to Google and search for the updated firmware for that particular router. In some cases, you'll find instructions to actually push the download directly to your wireless router. In other cases, you'll have to download an update file to y our computer, then log in to your wireless router and proceed with the update from there. If you have any problems, just post your message in the comments below and I'll be more than happy to help.
#4: Renew Lease on your IP address / network
If you are having WiFi connectivity on your iPad Mini or other device and you are in an office environment or other large gathering location that offers WiFi access, you may need to renew the IP address on your device. This is also referred to as "renewing the lease" on your device. A "lease" refers to the IP address that was "leased" to your device, from the network location, so that you can connect to their WiFi access point. Again, this is common in places such as an office, church, airports, or other large gathering locations.
Here's how to renew the IP address on your iPad Mini, iPad, or iPhone:
- Tap Settings > Wi-Fi
- Locate the Wi-Fi network you are currently using and tap
- Tap Renew Lease
So try those 4 methods if you are having problems connecting / keeping a WiFi connection on your iPad Mini. And if you are continuing to have issues, let us know the comments below.
Again, these troubleshooting methods can also be applied to iPhone and iPad devices as well.

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Dior Delivers Delightment!July 5, 2012
On Monday, the busy avenues of Paris were sparse as the world's most fashionable were seated inside the Avenue d'lena center awaiting with bated breath to see the first collection from Christian Dior's new Creative Director Raf Simons during Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2013. The question on everyone's mind, will it disappoint or delight?
As you'll see from the images, the Belgian designer's collection delighted! Not to mention, Simons received one of the highest compliments a designer could ask for, to have other major designers attending your show. Simons had more than a few show up, he had 9 major players in the fashion world in attendance to include: Diane von Fursternberg, Marc Jacobs, Pierre Cardin, Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci AND the reclusive Azzedine Alaia. Alaia is considered one of Paris' greatest designers and known for never coming out to enjoy the limelight, but clearly Simons' inaugural showing was well worth coming out for.
Amidst a backdrop of thousands of fresh fragarant flowers, guests were given a first look at what some are calling "The New New Look", referring Christian Dior's New Look 1947 collection where Dior created the famed "Bar Jacket", which took on several new forms in this collection. Floral peplum tops, bustier bodices and sheer sweaters were paired with lush ball gown skirts and slim pants. True to Dior form, the collection was composed of ladylike looks and simple yet feminine lines all adhering to Monsieur Dior's original Codes of the House.
One of the most spectacular creations was a sculpted white organza dress embroidered with thousandsof pale blue and pink feathers - the epitome of haute couture. Another showstopper was this ball gown skirt decorated with bright blue fabric flowers - absolutely divine!
If the haute couture PP isn't in your budget - which can soar up to 20K for a dress - no worries! Haute couture shows are held long before the RTW Fashion Weeks here in New York (Fall 2013 RTW collections will show in February 2013) for a reason: to allow the trends to trickle down and show up in pieces at H&M and collections from mid-level designers like Diane von Furstenberg and high-end designers like Victoria Beckham.
Next up for Simons, he's gearing up for his first Dior RTW collection show in October in Paris. That's when you and I will have the chance to preview his Spring 2013 collection! Can't wait!!! :o)
In the meantime, if you want to be fashion forward, start rocking the trends you've seen in this post! Pair a long peplum top with a pair of skinny black dress pants perhaps?!
J'adore Dior!

Summer Hope: Standing Room OnlyJune 14, 2012
Six weeks after giving birth to baby Sophia, I couldn't think of a better way to dive back in to my fashion events than with Summer Hope - an evening of food and fashion benefiting the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Situated inside the lobby of The Latham Hotel, the event wascompletely sold out - standing room only - with over 100 guests in attendance who enjoyed savory bites & specialty cocktails from Michel Richard's Citronelle as I presented a carefully curated runway showing of my favorite trends for summer 2012 from Saks Fifth Avenue of Tysons Galleria. In addition, Saks Fifth Avenue employees were equipped with mobile registers allowing guests to shop all the looks they saw on the runway immediately following the show!
I was honored to have Mrs. Chedid, wife of the Ambassador to Lebanon in attendance and the amazing chef himself - Monsieur Michel Richard - along with his lovely wife Laurence. Both Chedid and the Richards are longtime supporters of St. Jude and I was so grateful to have them attend. Merci! (Michel Richard below Mrs. Chedid to his left; Mrs. Richard in the center of the following photo)
Alrighty then, in case you were not able to attend I promised a recap of the show, so here we go.
A most adventurous trend indeed, yielding fabulous results - colorblocking is one of my favorite trends!
In the first look, I mixed the Colorblocking trend with the Color of the Season - Tangerine. The mustard yellow Theory blazer is a great piece for your summer wardrobe since it's so versatile. Seen below paired with a pair of tangerine-colored JBrand skinny jeans and a white tank by Vince, it's a perfect dressy-casual look. If you want to wear it in to the office, throw it on over a LBD (little black dress) or wear it buttoned up with a pencil skirt. As for the jeans - they're a must-have for the summer! They're fun, bright and look fabulous whether you dress them up or down.
The next look was one of my favorites. I paired a royal blue Rebecca Taylor blouse with a pair of bright turquoise Joe's Jeans - one of my all time fav color combinations that reminds me of the colors of the water in Greece. :o)
This season, White Out is applicable to more than just paper - consider applying it to your closet. It's truly a forever trend, a classic look that works every summer and whether you do white jeans with a white cable knit sweater or a white skirt and blouse, you will look oh so summer-chic.
If you don't have a fitted white dress for summer, get yours now! I chose the Alice + Olivia dress below because I love the fit of it and although you can't see it from the photo, it's stretchy and has ruching - a great way to flatter your curves! You could wear the dress by itself for a summer soiree or pair it with a white blazer and a statement necklace for the office.
Ahhh, the white pant suit - a staple piece to every woman's wardrobe. I typically turn to Theory for suiting because they create suits that flatter a woman's figure. I opted to show the sultry look you can create with this white suit by showing it sans a top or bra and kept it neutral by pairing it with a pair of nude-colored strappy heels. You could switch up the look and add a pop of color with a pair of dark pink or bright blue heels, fun!, or throw on a colorful or neutral cami underneath for an office chic look. Best part about this suit is that you'll make great use out of the pants and blazer separately as well.
One way to make use out of your white blazer is to throw it on over a dress - like the silk rose-colored faux wrap dress by Theory below.
Turn heads with this gorgeous sequin slipdress by Parker - not for the faint of heart. It's the perfect summer party dress and you should keep your accessories neutral as the dress speaks for itself - simple earrings, clutch and strappy, delicate heels.
Yes, this season length is in - the longer the better! So long to the daisy dukes and mini skirts, maxi dresses and skirts are on trend this summer.
This ombre tangerine-pink Parker silk maxi dress is a beautiful piece to pack for a trip to your favorite beach resort or for any special occasion this summer.
This next look mixed the Maxis trend with the Prints trend of the season. The printed Joie maxi skirt is made of a soft and lightweight cotton making it one of my go-to pieces for travel when I want to look chic but feel comfy. Paired with a button down tied up, this is a a great outfit to throw on over your bikini and head out to a pool party with friends.
I love this maxi skirt by Theory and the accordion pleating is another trend in skirts this summer and for fall/winter 2012. To avoid looking like a potato sack, be sure to keep your top fitted when you're wearing a maxi skirt, which I've done by tying up a yellow linen button down by Theory. Paired with a classic straw tan hat, it's a fabulous summer look to wear to a pool party or vacationing in St. Barths.
Longer hemlines, lace, eyelet, and structured dresses - ladylike looks are here to stay. We saw them all over the runways last season and they'll be sticking around in to fall/winter 2012 too!
This eyelet dress by Trina Turk is a classic dress that works if you're headed to brunch w/ friends or to a baby shower - it's sweet and simple. Don't be afraid to add some color to this dress! Wear it with a coral or turquoise necklace perhaps or a bold colored clutch.
Recently, Kate Middleton exuded ladylike-ness during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee when she wore a gorgeous lace dress by Alexander McQueen. Get your lace on - for a fraction of the price - with another one of my favorites looks of the evening, this ivory lace dress by Diane von Furstenberg. Another forever trend, you'll be able to pull this dress out of your closet every year whether you're headed to a Sunday brunch or or a date night out with your hubby.
Milly is known for creating dainty, feminine, classy dresses and this bright blue structured dress below just oozes ladylike. It's great for the office, weddings, summer baptisms and more and it doesn't hurt that you can't go wrong with the color.
Nothing says ladylike like a flowy, romantic top and this one rose-colored Joie blouse is just that. Paired tucked in to white skinny jeans - another staple piece for summer (by 7 For All Mankind) - with a nude-colored skinny belt, the look becomes feminine and soft and is perfect for a casual dinner out or brunch.
Don't keep turning to your neutrals this season, instead opt for color!
This rose pink dress by Vince is a great piece and easily transitions from day to night. Headed in to work? Wear it with a blazer. Headed out to dinner with friends? Ditch the blazers and rock it solo with a sexy pair of nude-colored heels and chandelier earrings or a statement necklace.
Don't restrict this trend to just clothing - work it in to your swimwear! I love this green one-piece by La Blanca. The gold hardware and ruched detailing makes this a very figure-flattering, sexy one-piece for all. In fact, one-pieces are IN this summer and it's great because it offers a refreshing and classy break from the go-to bikini.
If you want to stop traffic, this bright yellow dress by Torn will do just that. It's an amazing dress and fits like a glove. The ruched, angled detailing in the dress creates a slimming silhouette and the off-center slit will make your legs look long and lean.
Mix the dress w/ another trend of the season - Colorblocking - by adding this blue clutch by Marc by Marc Jacobs.
This gorgeous green DVF dress is perfect for summer - it's flowy and lightweight and looks great worn with or without accessories. Plus, the inverted V shape in the hemline will totally elongate your legs if you wear it with a pair of stunning heels. This is another great color to colorblock with - wear it with a pair of bright blue or pink heels perhaps!? The possibilities are almost endless, just remember to have fun!
This Marc by Marc Jacobs silk dress is absolutely divine. I actually saw it worn by one of the cast members on CBS's "Young & The Restless" last week!

Kate Can't Go WrongJune 6, 2012
What more can I say about Kate Middleton - she kills it every time she steps out. She defines elegance in her every move and fashion choices, which is why IMO she is a true style icon. And while attending the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, Middleton couldn't have looked better. Dressed in her go-to designer Alexander McQueen, Middleton wore a firey red dress - which Creative Director Sarah Burton customized just for Middleton - and a gorgeous nude-colored lace dress.
Red is THE color of the moment - it's sexy, powerful, feminine and you can't go wrong with a red dress done right. The pleating in Middleton's dress added a bit of flirty-ness to the look and the long sleeves and knee-length hemline adding a touch of conservativeness - a winning combination!
The lace number was my favorite - truly elegant, romantic and feminine. Lace is a forever trend and in the warm nude color this type of dress will remain a classic through the years. When shopping for your lace dress, it's worth it to spend a bit more on a high-end, fine quality piece as you want it to hold up over time.

Add your own belt or opt for no belt.
As for a classic red dress, the DVF below is perfect for the office or a romantic dinner date.

Middleton is the perfect example of how you can make anything look good, whether it's from Zara or a couture Parisian fashion house, it's all about how you carry yourself. I am the first to admit though, I adore all the Alexander McQueen dresses has worn. If I had one fashion wish to be granted today it would be to raid the Alexander McQueen section of Middleton's closet and keep them all for myself! :o)
