-- One of the most common problems in a relationship is ineffectual communication.
Most of us learned to read with the help of a teacher. We took golf lessons, music lessons, or at least read a book on quick home repair. But when it comes to loving relationships, everyone assumes they know how to do it.
The fact is the majority of us didn't learn relationship skills in a direct manner from qualified sources. We picked up bits of information from books, television, and people who had good intentions, but lacked expertise. Worse, some passed on advice that was negative or destructive.
When it comes to loving the most important people in our lives, no one can ever learn too much. That's why an educational program was developed by researchers at the University of Denver - to teach couples the skills and principles they need to maintain a healthy and lasting relationship. PREP (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program) is a comprehensive and well-respected relationship enhancing/divorce prevention program.
The PREP curriculum consists of skills designed to help partners say what they need to say, get to the heart of problems, and increase their connection with each other. PREP is education, not therapy. PREP is for couples who want to make their relationship the best it can be. It doesn't matter whether you just found your love, have teens in the home, or have the freedom of the "empty nest" PREP offers you the chance to discover how to enjoy your relationship no matter where you are today or what tomorrow may bring.
Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Field's Integrated Delivery System committees, which consist of the various installation helping agencies, have partnered to provide quarterly couples' relationship enhancement seminars based on the fundamentals of PREP.
This quarter's seminar is July 16 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. and July 17 at 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., at the Hurlburt Field chapel. There is no cost and refreshments will be provided. The programs are available to any Eglin or Hurlburt personnel. To register call 883-8024.

Wintry Mess Maryland Bound
Rain/snow/sleet all expected
Follow me on Facebook : mikemasco
Here we go again! Another complex storm with many faces will move into Maryland Sunday evening into Monday afternoon.
A storm developing over the plains and Midwest will continue to promote the development of a coastal low Sunday south of the state. As the storm moves north it will bring a mix of rain, snow, and sleet across the state.
A few wild cards are still being worked out. 1. How strong is the coastal storm 2. When does it move in 3. How much cold air is available.
The March 6 TH BUSTED snow forecast is still a very fresh memory in my mind, which makes forecasting this storm very challenging. So far the similarities with this storm and the March 6th storm are not identical which takes a little of the pressure off.
My first take on this event (will need to be adjusted tomorrow according to how the storm develops)
Sunday morning: Partly cloudy
Sunday afternoon: Mostly cloudy
Sunday evening/night: rain/snow moves north. Southern counties will see snow/rain first, Baltimore metro late evening, and MD/PA line close to 11pm.

Itty-Bitty Review: Rock-O-Matic - Imagination Movers
It took me a little while to appreciate the Imagination Movers -- in their early, pre-Disney years, I didn't hear anything particularly special in their music. Not bad, by any means, just nothing... noteworthy. But writing songs for your TV show -- constantly -- and playing live shows -- constantly -- will hone your songwriting chops, and their new, post-Disney album Rock-O-Matic bears the fruit of all that hard work. There are some kids musicians who attempt to map out the interior life of a child. The Imagination Movers are not those musicians. They instead write silly songs about goofy dance moves ("Dance Kung Fu," the album opener) or shiny pop-rockers about going to outer space ("Blast Off"). Or perhaps they write songs that will sound good when they play in front of audiences of 1,500 people or more (the dancehall of "Everybody Sing" or the Queen stomp of the title track). There are plenty of songs here that sound pretty good coming out of the minivan speakers and will sound even better in concert. (A couple more favorites: "Rain Rain," which neatly weaves "Rain rain go away" into a Movers original tune, and "Little Red Wagon".) For the most part the 43-minute album will resonate with kids ages 4 through 7 (though a couple songs, like "Buckle Me In" aim at a younger crowd). In addition to the CD, the album also comes packaged with a 30-minute DVD that mixes silly comedic interludes (a la Monty Python or The Muppet Show, though nowhere near as brilliant) in between videos, some of which ("Little Red Wagon," "Blast Off") are very, very good. Longtime Imagination Movers fans will certainly not be disappointed by Rock-O-Matic, the band's best album yet. But even families who spend their kids music time in independent waters should find quite a bit to enjoy on the disk. The Movers have earned their success with a keen eye (and ear) toward pleasing family audiences of all ages and Rock-O-Matic offers willing listeners a generous portion of kid-pop confections. Recommended. Disclosure: I received a copy of the album for possible review. I also was asked to World Premiere the band's video for "Everybody Sing."
My Favorite Kids Music Videos of 2011
Picking my favorite kids music videos gets harder every year. I've picked 25 here, but featured at least 3 times that number on the site (a figure which itself is a culling of many more videos). There are another half-dozen videos that easily could have made this list were I to make it, say, tomorrow. You'll find lots of old standbys here, but also videos from new bands and bands who don't spend nearly as much time with their video editor. Here, then, are my 25 favorite kids music videos from 2011 (2011 defined roughly as March 1, 2011 - February 29, 2012 -- I'm just assuming nothing else definitively worthy gets released in the next couple days or so). I'm offering up my (ranked) 10 favorite videos, with another 15 (unranked) honorable mentions. [The complete playlist can be viewed at the end of this post.] 1. Caspar Babypants - "Mister Rabbit" [YouTube] Don't get me wrong -- I love's Chris Ballew's DIY videos, finding them models of the form. But his occasional (and ongoing) collaboration with New Zealand's Mukpuddy Animation has already produced a couple fine videos, including this, my favorite of the year. 2. Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band - "Blue Bear" [YouTube] Another near-perfect melding of song and visual style. 3. - "Career Day" [YouTube] The Minneapolis band hasn't produced a bad video yet. 4. Elizabeth Mitchell - "Ong Tal Sam" [YouTube] Dreamy, oh so dreamy. 5. Dog on Fleas - "Do You Wanna Know My New Dance Step?" [YouTube] You might be forgiven for wondering if I was ever going to pick a live-action video for this list. Well, here's the first of many.
Video: "Noun Town" - Doctor Noize (Grammaropolis)
Doctor Noize is a busy guy. Not only has he just released The Return of Phineas McBoof, his second album about the title character, and he coaches his daughters' soccer team, but on March 4, he's releasing Grammaropolis, an album about, ummmm... grammar? Yes, it's Jane Jacobs meets "Weird Al" Yankovic meets the inevitable Schoolhouse Rock reference. Except that, I think it's safe to say, none of those made Flock of Seagullls reference. OK, maybe Al. Doctor Noize - "Noun Town" [YouTube]
Monday Morning Smile: "Me and Paul Revere" - Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers
Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers originally released "Me and Paul Revere" as a single for the 4th of July 2011 -- an apropos date given the song's subject -- Paul Revere's ride told from the perspective of his horse. The song is a model of historical storytelling through song. This video from Rolling Stone feels a little odd, watching Brooklyn twenty-somethings nod appreciatively as Martin and the band hurtle appropriately through the story, but there's a definite energy to the performance that makes it worth watching.

Kickstarter Update: The Kindie Crowd-Funding Continues
Not sure why, but these Kickstarter kids music projects come in clumps. Another fine batch of kindie projects from Kickstarter and its kin, so let's hop to it. First up is the Kickstarter project from New York's Shine and the Moonbeams. Anyone who saw them at Kindiefest last year knows just how awesome this album could be. Yes, it's a debut album, but with folks like Dan Zanes and Tor Hyams lending their support, it's gonna be pro all the way. Baltimore's Milkshake's concept for their Kickstarter project features a bunch of music one minute (or so) in length. Alex and the Kaleidoscope Band's Kickstarter project doesn't officially launch until Friday, but you can watch the preview video now. [And here it is!]Rather than raising money for the album itself (I'm So Glad! comes out April 3), Alex Mitnick and crew are raising money for videos for the album. As someone who likes videos, I say, woot! Kickstarter doesn't have a monopoly on kids' music projects -- Athens, GA band Like Totally! are pitching their project on IndieGoGo. I've actually been following the band for a little while now and I'm curious to see what a focused producer does with their Elephant-Six-meets-The-Polyphonic-Spree-meets-Sesame-Street vibe. Now, in the category of "just lettin' ya know," Ralph Covert, aka Ralph's World launched and successfully funded his Kickstarter project to film a pilot for a new TV show called Time Machine Guitar, which features, er, a guitar that allows Ralph to travel Back. In. Ti-ime. Also, there will be puppets. The whole project looks pretty cool, with some top-notch talent backing Ralph up to make the pilot really cool. So keep your eyes out for that.

David Davies
(Australian, 1864 -1939)
"The Artist's Children"
40 x 28 ins -- 102 x 71 cms
Oil on canvas, signed
(Sorry about the image quality)
* - email us about this painting
Price: .............................
This oil painting is a unique, unknown, wonderful work by David Davies, ( with a contribution from his artist' wife Janet ) showing their two children, Hanbury Davies born 1900 and Gwendoline Davies born 1896. The boy asleep, who was nicknamed "Ginger", is John 'Sydney' McCubbin born 1896 the youngest son of Australian artist Frederick McCubbin (1855-1917}. This painting was painted in relation to the only visit to the U.K. from Australia by Frederick McCubbin, in July 1907, which would have been a very emotional occasion. The Davies', both had been students, and fellow students, and were very good friends of McCubbin, who they had not seen since 1897.
February 2006 was a very interesting month when I first made contact with Penny McColm who is the Granddaughter of Frederick McCubbin, Penny lives in Melbourne, Penny was very interested to learn of this painting showing her "uncle Syd" - John 'Sydney' McCubbin, whom she remembers quite well.
I started researching this painting in 2002, I feel there is still more of a story to this extraordinary painting than I have been able to discover so far, David Davies was a 'very deep', reserved person...I wonder if...I ever will, But, I am really happy with all my research to date, as above, and with discovering this wonderful painting which I am immensely fond of. I feel I will remain the keeper of this truly remarkable painting, trying to find any sentiment from Australian art institutions is like trying to find a crate of chilled lager buried in the out-back. The Ballarat Art Gallery after many emails did eventually reply to me..''Two years later.'' The National Gallery Victoria were not so much better.............!!
It is interesting to see in this painting, the influence of George Frederick Folingsby (1828 -1891) who was art master at the; National Gallery of Victoria - School, from 1882 to 1891. His students included; David Davies, Frederick McCubbin, Abbey Altson, Arthur Streeton and others, where his teaching were the art of; Dramatic Genre, Enlivened by Red, and Carefully Controlled Lighting.
David Davies paintings were almost all landscapes..
David Davies was born in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, in May 1864. Davies became a student at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1886, under the Australian artist Frederick McCubbin (1855-1917), and then under George Frederick Folingsby (1828-1891). His student works which included portraits were highly regarded. Davies won the first prize at the annual exhibition by students, at The National Gallery of Victoria - School in 1888. Two of his student works are: From A Distant Land (1889) which is in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, also, Under The Burden and Heat Of The Day (1890) which is in The Ballarat Art Gallery - Victoria.
In 1890 Davies left Australia for Europe where he travelled to Paris and was to study at the Academie Julian under Jean-Paul Larens, where he was to meet, and then marry fellow Australian student Janet Davies in December 1891 at the British Consulate in Paris. The newly married couple travelled to Cornwall, England, where they lived for a short period, before returning to Melbourne in 1893. Then in 1897 David Davies, his wife and daughter left Australia, never to return, for Cornwall, England, where he painted and exhibited many works. In 1906 the Davies family moved to live in Conway, North Wales, where he travelled to many locations to paint in England and Wales, often with his friend and fellow artist Richard Heyworth (1862-1942).
In July 1907, the Australian artist Frederick McCubbin (1855-1917), was to arrive in the U.K. for a short stay from Australia, where the meeting-up with the Davies family, who lived in Conway, North Wales, would have been a very emotional occasion. McCubbin painted landscape scenes, which are recorded, where the Davies' family lived.
In 1908 the Davies family moved to Dieppe in France to live and work, where they stayed until 1932 when the family returned to the U.K. to live in Cornwall, England where they stayed until the death of David Davies in March 1939.
Janet Davies 1860-1939, the wife of David Davies was a trained artist and teacher of English, she was a student under Frederick McCubbin in 1887 at the National Gallery Victoria, and was a student at, 'The Academie Julian' in Paris and at the Slade School - London. Janet Davies was to sadly die 5 days after her husband in March 1939.
David Davies was a member of the Heidleberg School along with other artists including Frederick McCubbin 1855-1917, Tom Roberts 1856-1931 and Arthur Streeton 1867-1943. Their headquarters was a house given to them by the brother-in-law of David Davies, Charles Davies.
David Davies exhibited at: The Royal Academy-London, Paris Salon, New English Art Club, Cheltenham Art Gallery, Ridley Art Club, Carnegie Institute-Pittsburgh U.S.A. and The Fine Art Society-Melbourne.
David Davies paintings are represented at: The National Gallery Victoria, Art Gallery South Australia, Art Gallery New South Wales, National Gallery Australia, Ballarat Art Gallery, National Library Australia, Musee Dieppe-France and Plymouth Art Gallery.The images on this website are copyright protected.

Specs: Mexico's 50 Peso Gold Coin (also known as the Centenario) has 1.2 troy ounces of gold. It weighs 41.67 grams (1.33 troy ounces) and contains 37.5 grams of gold (1.2 troy ounces). This coin is comprised of 90% gold and 10% copper with a diameter of 36mm.
The obverse of the Mexican Gold Coin 50 Pesos has an image of Winged Victory, with a laurel wreath in her right hand and broken chains in her left. Two famous Mexican volcanoes, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihautl, rise in the background. The 1821 on the lower left commemorates the year of Mexico's independence. The date on the right indicates year of mintage except for the restrikes which are all dated 1947 (over 4 million were restruck). The reverse depicts the Mexican Coat of Arms, which is an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak.
The earlier 50 Pesos carry small premiums over the restrikes, except for the 1921 and the 1931 coins, which can come with a heftier premium. The 50 Pesos gold coins we sell are the least premium available and most often the restrike.
The massive success of the South African Krugerrand in the early 1970s drove the 50 Pesos and the 100 Coronas into obscurity, where they have remained. When they are available for sale in our store, they are sold for the same premium as the gold bars or less. Unless otherwise noted on our bullion page, we will have a limited quantity in stock. Please call for ordering availability.

Quite an extraordinary episode of "Lost" tonight, largely originating from 18th century Canary Islands where an even earlier version of Richard Alpert (yes, looking exactly the same age) struggled to save his ill wife. Instead, he accidentally kills a doctor who would not help and ended up on the slave ship the Black Rock that crashed on the island.
There, as now, weird things began to happen. His fellow slaves were killed, then his captors in turn were killed by the smoke monster and then his wife seemed to appear to tell him this was all hell. Well, that's been a prevailing theory about "Lost" for years. Could it be that simple? Or is it just another trick?
The Man in Black in his original incarnation intervenes, saying he'd help him if he did one favor -- kill the Devil before he can say a word (the same advice Dogen gave Sayid in killing the Man in Black (in the body of John Locke) a couple of episodes ago).
Once more, it doesn't work and the Devil turns out to be Jacob who tells him he is not the Devil and that Alpert should work for him. For what in return? How about to live forever - explaining the presence of Alpert in every phase of the island's life ever since, while appearing to be precisely the same age. (Not explained: his mascara technique).
Richard's latest task is to keep the Man in Black on the island - though he is determined (in the body of Locke) to get off with Sawyer. The idea is to keep the evil bottled up there on the island.
Does this set up a final showdown or just endeavor to create some kind of monumental good/evil yin/yang to bring some resonance to the coming finale?
There was no way that anybody watching the first episode of a plane crashing and survivors regrouping on an island with smoke monsters and polar bears that it would naturally lead to this kind of theological discussion. (It seems clear the writers didn't have it in mind either).
It took longer than an hour to tell this episode, which was more like a standalone fable than anything "Lost" has previously run. But the deeper theoretical discussions mean they're either getting closer to the nitty gritty underpinnings of the saga or so off track by now it doesn't even matter.

Justin Bieber Selena Gomez Dating: Why Won't They Just Admit It?TheMommyologist
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are obviously dating, even though neither of them will admit to it. They have been rumored to be a couple for quite some time, and after photos surfaced of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber kissing on the back of a yacht over New Year's, it's getting more and more difficult for them to deny their romance. Why won't Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez just go ahead and admit that they are dating?
In a recent interview with Heat, Justin Bieber was asked if Selena Gomez was his girlfriend. He was obviously irritated when he responded, "I think that question is just asked way too much. I'm not going to be able to have a personal life if I keep being asked that question. So I'm not answering that question ever again."
Later on Bieber was also asked if he has older women throwing themselves at him all the time, to which he replied, "Can we talk about my books and my movie and stuff?"
Justin Bieber likely wants to keep his relationship with Selena Gomez under wraps so that he won't upset female fans. After all, when the pictures of Selena and Justin kissing surfaced, she even received death threats from Bieber fans!
It's totally understandable that Justin Bieber doesn't want to talk about his private life. But when you're constantly in the public eye, how can you be expected to avoid it?

Books I Dated While AbroadPosted: July 24, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 5 Comments
This is going to be quick and dirty. I will do longer posts on many of these book boy and girlfriends at future date, scouts honor. Until then, here are some thoughts about the books I read abroad, summed up at lightning speed.
WONDER by RJ Palacio – A middle grade novel for everyone. Pitch perfect adolescent voices and a story about a boy who was born with severe physical anomaly that will make you cry harder than THE NOTEBOOK plus TITANIC plus video of grown up lions hugging their human parents.
BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK by Ben Fountain- Debut novel from that dude who was the author in Malcolm Gladwell's late bloomer essay. Well motherfucker has bloomed, that's for sure. The story of an American military squad on a two week publicity blitz hero tour, if this novel isn't shortlisted for a Pulitzer I will punch myself in the face and put it on YouTube.
ORACLE BONES by Peter Hessler- Loved his debut memoir RIVERTOWN about teaching English in China in the 90s, love this memoir about being a reporter in China in the early augurs. And now I have to go read all his New Yorker articles about China. Mr. Hessler, you are a boss and a G. Also, however you say those things in Chines, you're also that.
GLACIERS by Alexis Smith- The story of a girl who loves vintage clothes and collecting old photographs and works as a librarians specializing in resuscitating old falling apart books and she has and unrequited love thing with the IT guy who's an ex soldier who's going back to the Middle East and they're never going to get to be together… This is basically Manic Pixie Dream Girl Porn and I loved it down to the very last best friend living in an apartment that used to be a coffin factory and vintage party dress description.
COMPLETE SHERLOCK HOLMES by Arthur Conan Doyle- I just could NOT get through the Mormon novella but other than that am a hound for these Baskervilles!!
5 Comments on "Books I Dated While Abroad"
I absolutely loved Wonder! It's definitely one of my favorites for the year.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
If you have one site participating in AdSense - site get banned along with your publisher account.
If you have few useful sites, and only have adsense on one site, than you might consider putting AdSense ads on other sites. In case one site get banned your publisher account would (possibly) survive because of second site.
I'm not talking about serious violations like clicking on ads, etc. But i hope this could save from minor violations (like site ban for "bad" words).
Does it make sense?
It's been over a year since I've heard this from anyone on the AdSense team, so I guess they may have eased up on their policy, but I know that I wouldn't chance it.
Publisher has one adsense account, and two sites: A and B
Google finds site A not good for some reason.
Example of site ban thread (not account ban, just site): [webmasterworld.com...]
Possible outcomes (among others):
1. If publisher put adsense ads on site A only:
Google bans site A, Google sees publisher does not have more sites running adsense ads, so whole publisher account is banned. Publisher cannot even login to his adsense account.
2. If publisher put adsense ads on site A and site B:
Google bans site A, Google sees publisher has also adsense ads running on site B, so publisher account is not banned. Publisher still able to login to his adsense account and place ads on other sites.
From above statements it looks like those who run adsense ads on multiple sites are less vulnerable to account ban. Pure speculation :)
Smart pricing is no longer account-wide, and TOS violations may get sites knocked, not accounts. I suspect if violations are to do with gray areas or new rules, you might get a warning. If repeated 'minor' violations, the site gets knocked out.
If major violations (e.g., click fraud by clicking on your own links), you lose the entire account. That sounds reasonable. I don't believe Google owes anyone a warning for click fraud and the account holder doesn't deserve one.
If you lose an account, and get another one, don't forget Google still treats the old domains as connected to the original account, and they're automatically blacklisted, so you can't use them for Adsense on a new account.
Advice in the past from the plex is to never create a second account. This apparently is seen as an indicator of something very, very bad.
Funny you mention that - I just got a response from AS support telling me to create a second account - I have one growing site that is owned by a partnership between my company and another; I just started running AdSense ads in mid-April, and it's doing slightly more than $100 a month in AdSense revenues. I've been running the AdSense side using my company's publisher account, which is used for a number of other sites as well, all wholly owned by my company.
It's time to start administering the filters/reports/channels separately, allow the other partner access to the stats/reports, etc... and the best way to do that is via a separate account.
I contacted AS support first, explained the situation and the reasoning for the request, and they replied in a prompt and courteous manner: "Create a second account using another legal entity's name, address, EIN [etc]"
So, I did it.
The other benefit is that this provides some degree of isolation between the activities of this site and all my others, which is how it ought to be, IMO. It's nice that AS accounts can be used for multiple sites, but there are downsides to doing so, too.
If G really doesn't want us to have separate accounts, they need to provide multi-user access to an account's data (like in Analytics!) and per-site capabilities on all tools - competitive ad filters in particular.
one site - account ban, 2 and more - site ban
My guess is that this is true only for "inappropriate business model" sites. If you have 1 legit and 1 MFA site, they may let you keep the legit site and ban the MFA (anyone can confirm that?). If you break the TOS though, you will lose your account.
Obviously, closing AdSense accounts recklessly would be irresponsible from a business standpoint, and certainly wouldn't inspire a lot of faith among all of you. So while we do reserve the right to penalize accounts, we only do so when we have strong data supporting that decision.
Hope that clarifies,

Weight of water?
Just out of curiosity, how often is floor integrity an issue when buying a fish tank? I dont know much about houses but i want to get a nice 55 gallon tank and sumone told me each gallon is 8 pounds, making the 55 gallon tank 440 pounds plus the stand, gravel, rocks, etc. I feel like that would top the tank off at almost 500 pounds and am worried about the floor. I know it might sound foolish, but its a concern thats been bothering me.
Ive heard 10 pounds per gallon is a good rule. That normally includes water tank stand etc.
i look at it this way, floors in your house are "normally" built strong enough to hold water beds with 2 people in them. i had a king size water bed until about 2 years ago and together my wife and i weigh close to 400 lbs and never had a problem with the floor and that was in our old double wide trailer. unless you live in a house that is falling down i wouldnt think you would have any problems with a 55gal tank.
Its just the thought that i would be having half a ton of weight in one small area worried me.
Thanks though nudist that helps a lot
YES it can be an issue! But not really for a 55 gal. On a modern day house where the floor is a poured slab, the weight is pretty much unlimited on the bottom floor. Many houses are NOT designed to have a water bed on a second story floor. Infact this was a problem when waterbeds became very popular in the 70s (or so I have heard). Some houses are built stronger spisificially to allow a waterbed on the second floor but that is at the option of the builder. That said, waterbeds often weigh a ton (2000 lbs.) or more. I would not worry too much about a 55 gal, but it is a good idea to place the tank near a load bearing wall.
500 pounds is actually a quarter ton. Don't get overly concerned about the weight. Your 55 gallon tank has a ground pressure of approximately 125 pounds per square foot. Would you be worried about four guys standing shoulder to shoulder in one spot in your place? If not the tank isn't a concern either. If you're worried about the pressure of the legs lemme put it this way. I have a 55 gallon tank stand. Under the legs I put a 5x5in wooden foot for the metal leg to rest on. The total ground pressure under each leg is right about 5 pounds per square inch. Unless you'd feel nervous about your floor collapsing if someone stood on one foot then the tank is not likely going to be a problem.
If you're really paranoid you can find out how the joists in your floor run and set the aqaurium perpendicular to them so it crosses as many as possible, but I don't really think it's a problem for something like a 55 gallon tank.
Cool thanks a bunch guys, this makes me feel a lot better about getting this tank.
The metric system is actually much better to measure weight vs. amount...
One litre of water, is One kilogram... This is not the same for all liquids... Obviously lol...
beet me to it kritas i was about to say the same thing.. 1gallon is 3.78 KG (8.3 lbs) so 3.78 x 55(gallons) = 208.1KG (458.9 pounds)
so in the end not really that heavy but very much easier to just use google to convert gallons to liters and KG to pounds

Reports: Ryan Malleck switches commitment
Ryan Malleck will play his college football in the ACC, but it won't be at Maryland.
The three-star tight end prospect from Point Pleasant Boro (N.J.) High has reportedly switched his commitment from the Terps to Virginia Tech.
He had been committed to Maryland since mid-August, but started to take a look at other schools when the Terrapins let former coach Ralph Friedgen go. Last weekend, Malleck visited Tech.
In addition to Tech and Maryland, Malleck considered scholarship offers from U.Va., Miami, Connecticut, Nebraska, North Carolina State, Rutgers, Central Florida and Vanderbilt, as well as appointments from Army and Navy. He's the 20th commitment for Tech's '11 class. Wednesday will be the first day recruits can sign a letter of intent with a university.

How can I get my son to part with his pacifier?
If my 2-year-old doesn't have his pacifier when he naps or goes to bed at night, he throws a huge tantrum and it takes him forever to fall asleep. I know we should bite the bullet and take it away, but I'm afraid of the screaming and the loss of sleep. Is there an easier way to get rid of the pacifier?

My daughter is 22 months old. She has been paci free for about 6 days now. . She has already been taking naps without it for a long time. Just the night time was the hardest part. We first started with not giving it to her during the day. Then it was not getting it at nap time. So the only time she got it was bed time. Then one morning she lost her paci by accident. We could never find it by bed time. We told her to be a big girl and how proud we was of her. Getting her to fall asleep was fine. It was the waking up during the night that was a little rough. The first night she cried several times. Then only bout once a night now for a few minutes. She is getting over it and I beleive that she has forgotten all about it.posted 07/13/2012 by jenniferannyoung28
Cold turkey. We did it with our son with the diapers. Our view is that we cannot have everything we want in life - even things we used to have - so its best to teach them what that feels like now so they can deal with it better later, than to coddle them with it now and expect them to just adjust well later.posted 07/11/2012 by Alisha30
My oldest son was three when we got rid of his pacifier. Christmas eve we put it in a bag and left it for Santa. We had talked about it for several weeks prior how we were going to give the pacifier to Santa so other babies would have one. He cried for about five min's and then I reminded him about the other babies who needed a pacifier and he stoped crying and went to bed. He never mentioned it again. I have heard some people give them to the pacifier fairy.posted 06/29/2012 by Shana44
The paci bear works! I took my 2 1/2 year old to build a bear yesterday and she put all the pacis in there and took a nap a few hours later and slept straight through the night last night. There was a little whining at bedtime but not nearly as much resistance as I thought there would be.posted 08/23/2011 by BandC22
I tried cutting the tip to make it less satisfying to my paci addicted 22 month old, and she didn't like it- but it didn't stop her from using it, so each day I cut a little more off and finally she just carried the plastic piece around with her for comfort. Shea carried it for a couple weeks and got tired of it. I saved it to show her when she is grown. I have an 18 month old now and am gearing up for the same process.... hopefully it works well the second time around!posted 08/02/2011 by Amyola
My 2 1/2 year old was completely attached to her popo, she had to have it all day everyday! I finally decided to just get rid of it, with a little help from online moms. All of the suggestions on here about snipping the pacifier so that it was useless were the best thing to ever happen to me...lol She asked for her popo and i gave it to her (the whole end cut off)-she looked at it, looked at me and said "popo...boo boo". And literally, that was the end of it. She found it a few more times and said that it had a boo boo but never threw a fit, never cried. The first night of sleep was a little difficult, mostly with getting her down, but after about 3 days, she was totally over it!!! Thank you moms for all of your help!!posted 06/17/2011 by mylittlenole
I just cut the tip off of one and gave it to him and said it was broken. He looked at it for a min, put it in his mouth then gagged on it. Then we walked to the trash and threw it away. He keeps going back to the trash and looking in. I said, say "bye bye ninny" (ninny is what he calls the binky) Then he said, Byebye.posted 06/07/2011 by HollieMariana
My son is 3 and he just got rid of pacifer he still asks for it but doesnt throw the huge tantrums he did before. The way i got him off is we were goin across the bridge by our house and he loves sea creatures and i told him the baby octopus needs your pacifer and he threw it out after a couple times of me telling him and that was 1 week ago!!! And hes been doing awsome ever since hopefully this will help someone else too!posted 04/10/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I bought an outfit for the bear and ice cream. My VeryMaids ECD Consultant told baby about her bear's "secret" and didn't ask for it at all. Baby didn't even become overly attached to the bear. VeryMaids?ECD Consultantpointed out that early education programs in many day care centers also help prepare children for school. From this, I know how to educate my baby. You can understand this company by yourself.posted 02/21/2011 by wanglixue51
My son (our first) was 20 months when we decieded to take his paci away. We were worried about his language development and were worried that keeping it would cause him to have a lisp. My husband was the one who took the initiative. He first started by taking it away at nap time, the first night we took it away he cried his heart out. But we held him and comforted him till he feel asleep. As the week went on we would divert his attention when he asked for it. Tellin him it went bye-bye or that we didn't have it. The other thing that really helped was we replaced it with a lovey. He was already attached to a blanky, but something else in place of a paci helped. One month later, he doesnt aske for it at all, even when another child around his age has one. I gues we lucked out, but all it took was a little will and understanding on our part. We get the best lovey from a cool website, http://www.etsy.com/shop/littlebnursery?section_id=634817. They are the best!posted 02/11/2011 by leorarick3

Owen Wilson 'doing well'Owen Wilson is "doing well" and still "making people laugh", according to director Wes Anderson.
The 38-year-old actor, who cancelled his appearance at the Venice Film Festival after attempting to commit suicide last week, hasn't lost his sense of humour and will soon reveal the truthabout his suicide bid, insists close friend Anderson.
Anderson, who was in Venice on Sunday (02.09.07) to promote his new film 'The Darjeeling Limited' starring Owen, said: "When he's ready he's going to speak for himself much better than anyone else could. He has a very good way with words.
"I just want you to know how excited I am to have the film showing here. It means a great deal to me, and it also means a great deal to Owen, who wants me to express to you how much it means to him and to say that he wishes he could be with us.
"We all miss having him here very much. Obviously, he's been through a lot this week but he's doing well and he's been making us laugh a lot."
'The Darjeeling Limited' stars Owen, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman as three brothers taking a train trip across India.
Meanwhile, Owen was seen for the first time since leaving hospital on Saturday (01.09.07).
The 'Wedding Crashers' actor was photographed in the backseat of a car being driven by his brother Andrew.
A despondent-looking Owen and Andrew were travelling to close friend Woody Harrelson's home. Anderson arrived to visit Owen later that day.

Engineering awards aim to advance energy storage and invigorate green building design
Back to article | Note about images
Sossina Haile (left) and graduate student William Chueh (right) of CalTech stand next to thermochemical reactor for water and carbon dioxide dissociation. An oxide of a variable valent metal (e.g., ceria) is placed in the reactor. On heating to a high temperature, the oxide releases oxygen (as a result of thermodynamic driving forces). The oxide is then rapidly cooled and exposed to an atmosphere containing H2O or CO2. The gas re-oxidizes the oxide, releasing H2 or CO, respectively. The rapid response IR imaging furnace makes these experiments possible because rapid cooling is required to prevent reoxidation by residual oxygen. Materials showing good hydrogen or syngas production in this surrogate reactor will utlimately, through collaborations with University of Minnesota and with ETH Zurich, be utilized in a solar furnace in which the thermal energy is derived from solar concentration. Through collaborations with UCLA, structures with optimal pore structures will be fabricated of the most promising materials.Credit: Sossina M. Haile, California Institute of Technology

To improve energy management and water conservation, researchers at the University of California-Berkeley will create a system that cleans greywater while modulating the day and night temperature shifts in buildings. These walls will be specially designed with panels of biologically-inspired microlens arrays to collect solar energy (detail view of solar optic activated panel, above). While it's inside the walls, the water will be disinfected for reuse, and it also will serve as thermal storage and conduction control for the building.Credit: Prof. Gutierrez/Prof. Hermanovicz/Prof. Lee, University of California-Berkeley
A research team based at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University have selected a spectrum of buildings to serve as case studies--new and existing, minimal to robust technology and monitoring, and commercial and residential buildings--with which to develop a culture of evidence and framework for the dynamic life cycle assessment. While they do have a net-zero energy building as a case study, the researchers are particularly interested in existing structures with limited building automation systems. While new green buildings receive attention from the media, designers, and researchers, they represent a small fraction of the existing building stock, which is currently estimated at 4.5 million commercial properties. Given the large number of existing buildings, they represent a greater opportunity to reduce carbon emissions and energy usage.
One such example is the new University of Pittsburgh's Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation's LEED Gold building (pictured above). The Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation (MCSI) was formed in 2003 to serve as a nexus for efforts at UPitt to promote the creation of more sustainable civil infrastructure. MCSI recently moved into a new, 42,000-ft2 green facility, housing associated faculty from all engineering departments; students, common seminar and conference room space, and wet and dry labs. Some of the green features include the following: a reflective thermoplastic polyolefin, or TPO, roof on the center's addition that minimizes heat absorption; green roofs on Benedum auditorium and Benedum plaza; estimated to save 18 percent in energy costs over a similar structure of standard design; sensors that adjust indoor lighting by the level of incoming natural light; and highly efficient LED lights on exterior that contain no mercury and last ten times longer than fluorescent lighting. While this building has some level of sensors (e.g., CO2), additional sensors are needed to fully understand how the building operates.Credit: University of Pittsburgh
Engineers, design architects, and cell biologists from the University of Pennsylvania will use the flexibility and sensitivity of human cells as the models for next-generation building "skins," designated "eSkin," that will adapt to changes in the environment, produce beautiful effects such as color change, and, most importantly, increase building energy efficiency. The image above suggests how eSkin may operate at the building scale with new construction featuring complex geometries.Credit: Jenny E.

This picture shows that, due to the bi-phasic nature of polymeric proton conducting membranes, only a fraction of a membrane surface is ionic conductive. Consequently, when a catalyst is applied to this surface, only part of the catalyst may be utilized. Such knowledge will be used to develop a membrane with higher surface ionic activity for use in regenerative hydrogen-bromine fuel cell systems, which can efficiently store energy.
