How do I keep my 2 1/2 year old in his own bed all night?
My 2 1/2 year old has been an angel sleeper since he was 9 months. We put him to bed and he went right to sleep by himself and slept all night. A month or two before his brother came we transitioned him to his new toddler bed, then his new room. He loves his bed and thinks his room is cool. Then he got a bad cough and his sleep is terrible! (Not sick anymore) He'd FREAK OUT when we left the room, then wakes up a few times a night and comes to our bed (he's never slept in our bed before). Can't let him cry it out because he just throws up. We've tried a night light/no light, covers/no covers, door open/shut nothing is working! Do we need to get him a bigger bed? My husband has to stay in his room until he falls asleep then sneak out. Then he wakes up once/twice a night and comes to our bed. I'm wanting to work on getting his 6 mo brother to sleep through the night but can't because I'm afraid any noise will wake him up. We've been dealing with this for about a month now help

Something is obviously upsetting him.It could be bad dreams or a recent change.If it were me I would use the night light,keep lying with him to help him sleep(i know it's a time consumer),and consult his pediatrician at your next appt.posted 11/30/2011 by lala1983
Thanks for your response! As soon as he tries to climb into bed with us we take him back to his own bed, but it's not making a difference. Every single night he wakes up and comes to our room, which is crazy because he never used to be able to sleep with us. Very rarely does he cry before he comes to our room or act upset at all. We have to stay until he falls back asleep or he gets right back out of bed. Like I said before it doesn't work to let him cry it out because he just throws up which makes the situation worse and leaves us with a mess to clean up. Considering putting his brother in there for a night but that means taking down a crib and moving a bunch of stuff. If this doesn't fix itself soon though we will try it!posted 11/28/2011 by missrg2
You can NOT let him come into your bed at night.If you want him to sleep in his own bed you have to be consistant.Keep the night light but one that isn't too bright.You don't want him to play.You could try lying in his bed with him for a while.wait for him to fall asleep.Ask him what is scaring him.My kids have bad dreams,since they were babies.There are nights they don't want to sleep in their room or their beds.But if I sleep with them they will never let me leave.I let them cry it out.But sometimes you have to take a different approach.Depending on their personal situation.You could try moving the baby in with him.That way neither one is alone.He may feel more comfortable with a sleeping buddy.put the baby monitor right next to the crib,that way when baby cries you can get in there fast before it wakes him up.posted 11/23/2011 by lala1983

"It's not called the death zone for nothing," a mountaineer says in "The Summit."
It's the area above 8,000 meters on the world's highest peaks where the body strains for breath because the oxygen levels are so low. That lack of oxygen can lead to mental confusion and contribute to terrible exhaustion. It's where every step can be freezing agony and where a misstep can send a mountaineer plunging thousands of feet to death.
And at the beginning of August 2008, the death zone on K2 more than lived up to its name. Eleven climbers died there in one of the worst disasters in mountaineering history.
Filmmaker Nick Ryan's documentary incorporates talking-head interview segments conducted with survivors of the disaster, footage shot by the climbers and re-enactments filmed in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. The resulting film is at once visually impressive and narratively unfocused.
- This drone footage of inside Bertha's tunnel is like something out of 'Star Wars'
- Seattle City Council kills sale of street for Sodo arena; Sonics fans despair
- Ted Cruz ends his bid for Republican presidential nomination
- Man killed by car pulling out of Seattle parking garage

It's impressive because the footage of K2, the world's second-highest mountain located on the border between Pakistan and China, dramatically conveys the fearsome majesty of that peak. Snowbound, windswept, a jagged spire jutting sharply upward toward the heavens, it commands awe. It looks dangerous. It is. It's claimed the lives of about a quarter of all the mountaineers who have reached its summit, according to the film.
Climbers from nine nations, along with members of the Sherpa community affiliated with several different climbing teams, all started for the summit on Aug. 1, 2008. Two died on the way up, the other nine during the descent. Miscommunication among the climbers, avalanches and other accidents all took their toll.
The sheer number of interview subjects leads to confusion — which one is talking again? — and the differing perspectives they offer on the events of the fatal climb are not arranged in a way that provides a coherent narrative through-line. But what comes through with crystal clarity in "The Summit" is that there is no margin for error in the death zone.

At first listen, Solange's "Losing You" is a song about denial. That moment when you run up five flights of stairs, tears streaming as you bang on his door begging him to give it one more chance. Tell me the truth, boy, am I losing you for good? the Madewell model pleads on the brand-new, Dev Hynes-produced track. But while Solo's tone says she already knows that even the asking is useless, the video, released on Tuesday, seems to suggest otherwise.
No, it doesn't offer a storybook ending, but the clip does show that when things fall apart, it helps to know your (very fashionable) friends will have your back. Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, it comes on the heels of a teaser in which Beyoncé's baby sis and her crew played a slo-mo game of Suck and Blow that ended in a languorous kiss. So shifting from a living room installation built by the very dope Mickalene Thomas for her preview, Solange traveled to the Cape for the long-form video.
What we discovered was too much Malick Sidibé-inspired goodness in Melina Matsoukas' ("Your Body," "S&M") latest visual for us to do justice to every frame, so we zeroed in on five of our favorite scenes. (Read on and share your picks in the comments!)
Head over to MTV Style for a Look by Look breakdown of Solange's "Losing You" video!
On the Radio
In one of the first few setups in "Losing You," Solange bops her shoulders in front of a colorful display of vintage radios. Spread out like tchotchkes on some shelves, the dusty antiques look like throwbacks to an age when Emerson and Zenith supplied the electronics. Later, the camera returns to this scene, panning out briefly to reveal that this is in fact the kitchen in her modest pad. Oh, and a gentleman is sipping tea there … a recurring motif.
Good Hair
The onetime Carol's Daughter spokesperson had all but become the club president for natural black girls everywhere since snipping her chemically processed tresses and opting to rock a 'fro back in July 2009. But given the ever-outspoken Houston native's recent decision to cut ties with the company — she couldn't get them to agree with her message that "the way we wear our hair is a personal choice" — it seems intentional that a key scene is filmed outside a co-ed beauty shop. The painted white exterior of the salon includes ads for an array of cuts and looks, from Dark & Lovely relaxers to "German" and "English" styles … as if to say, "You're lovely any way you wear your locks.'
High Society
Dressed in a high-waisted orange suit, Solange and a band of dandies right out of the Congolese Le Sape Society (or Society for the Advancement of People of Elegance), take peacocking to the next level in the "Losing You" video. Accessories include everything from trophies to parasols to an eye patch, à la '80s MC Slick Rick. If there's a fashion duel ahead, I can't think of a better crew to run with.
Stadium Sound
SK and her homeys occupy a section of an empty stadium with long-necked soda bottles in hand in this upbeat scene. They pose for snaps and throw up bunny ears behind the leading lady, while another couple cuddles for the lens. Put simply it looks like the kind of day that lets you forget your troubles. We can't forget to mention the carefully selected wardrobe: an eye-catching mish-mash of prints and textures, likely from many of the brands (Opening Ceremony and Kenzo to Suno and J.Crew) that Solange name-checked in an interview with MTV Style.
BONA Fide Fashion Star
Although we're about all things digital, we still get pangs of nostalgia for mags. The scene where Solange seems to blend into a wall that's papered with glossy covers sent us straight to the 'Net to Google the title. Turns out Bona is a popular South African monthly. Fitting, because when it comes to this scene, we subscribe! It's a rare shot of the singer alone, pensive, and it brings the focus back to Hynes' sublime songwriting.

Three Colorado grocery giants have told more than 17-thousand unionized workers that their contract extension will be terminated, effective at midnight, November Third.
Representatives from Albertsons, King Soopers and Safeway say the move is an effort to advance negotiations which have so far failed to result in an acceptable settlement.
Workers last month agreed to strike if no new contract was reached, but a union spokesman says they would get a chance to vote again. Workers, meanwhile, vowed to negotiate until the last second.
The three stores announced a deal earlier this week to share revenue in case their workers go on strike -- a deal the union says is unfair and illegal.
Negotiations between the companies and U-F-C-W Local 7 have been going on since August.

Multi shot various setting to get best photos

Multi shot various setting to get best photos
Many times we can not get a moment we want to take the photos again.
if we wrongly set our cameras setting we lost the moments.
I wish we can take multi shot using various setting at once, so we did not mis the special moments.
example using:
Manual setting
Natural light
Low light
and other setting.
Most cameras are Fast enough and can take many shot at once, so I think this multi shot features is good.
what do you think ?

The optimal setting of the compressed page size depends on the type and distribution of data that the table and its indexes contain. The compressed page size should always be bigger than the maximum record size, or operations may fail as noted in the discussion of compression internals later in this section.
Setting the compressed page size too large wastes some space, but the pages do not have to be compressed as often. If the compressed page size is set too small, inserts or updates may require time-consuming recompression, and the B-tree nodes may have to be split more frequently, leading to bigger data files and less efficient indexing.
Typically, one would set the compressed page size to 8K or 4K
bytes. Given that the maximum InnoDB record size is around
KEY_BLOCK_SIZE=8 is usually a safe

Bennetts of Essex Offer a classic wedding limousine hire service. Our vintage limousines come with experienced wedding chauffeurs.
Bennetts in Essex have been providing prestigious, traditional, classic wedding and
limousines and vintage limousine cars hire for decades with our wedding chauffeurs. Perfect for that
special occasion, our elegant Rolls Royce fleet comprises of four black
Phantom VI's, one black over blue Phantom VI, one blue over ivory Phantom
V and one black Silver Spur; each of these classic wedding vehicles can seat six
passengers comfortably.
The hire of each wedding limousine includes complimentary ribbon in ivory or white; or you are welcome to supply your own ribbon to co-ordinate with the wedding party attire. Our experienced chauffeurs are uniformed in charcoal grey suits and stylish chauffeur's caps.
Some of our luxurious bridal cars have rear-hinged doors for elegant ease of bridal access, enabling the photographer to take some magnificent photographs. Being favoured by Queen Elizabeth, you may feel like royalty as you glide to the church in one of our classic, vintage wedding limousine vehicles.
On the day of the wedding we will arrive at the designated address at the arranged time. Should your photographer and you wish to take photographs at the house with the vintage limousine, please allow time for this. We can arrange to make two trips to the wedding venue should we be requested to take the bride's Mother and bridesmaids first. However, if the venue is too far away then time may not permit this and if the weather is poor it may mean that the limousine gets a little dirty for the bride's journey.
Much thought is given to the brides limousine transport to the wedding venue, and thereafter, the bride and groom getting to the reception venue (if different), however please also remember the bride's mother and bridesmaids may require limousine transport to these venues.
Lastly if you require a classic wedding limousine for onward travel after the reception, please enquire, our vehicles have large & spacious boots for luggage, hopefully large enough!!
We would not expect you to place a booking without seeing and sitting in our Essex wedding chauffeur driven limousine vehicles of Rolls Royce Phantom, Silver Spur or Morris 8. Then we propose that you make an appointment to visit us by calling the number provided throughout the website as we cover all of Essex.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Should women fight in war? (on the frontlines)
From a moral standpoint, Men's traditional standpoint is to protect women. Not saying that they need that protection, but men feel that way. Besides which, women are usually considered to be a "gentler" kind of people.
From a purely physical point of view, being generally not as strong and not having a massive source of pain in a melee battle balance each other out.

Home News Local News Beefy guy inspires beef coop
Beefy guy inspires beef coop
By MIKE FERGUSON
Of the Baker City Herald
HAINES Seventeen years ago, Doc and Connie Hatfield's failing ranch operation near Sisters received salvation from an unlikely source.
Hatfield spotted a "Jack LaLane look-alike" emerging from a Bend fitness club. She happened to ask the beefy bodybuilder what he thought about beef.
"I asked this guy what his opinion was of red meat, and he said he recommended eating it three times a week, but that he was having a hard time getting beef from Argentina" beef that was hormone free and derived from cattle who don't spend a lot of time fattening up in a feedlot, she said.
"I then had a little talk with myself," Hatfield recalled. "Here we were just 55 miles away, and we had exactly what this bodybuilder wanted. It changed my life."
The Hatfields are the founders of Oregon Country Beef, which markets hormone-free high quality beef direct to grocery stores and restaurants in a three-state area. They were at the Sexton Ranch near Haines Friday for the culmination of OCB's three-day semi-annual meeting.
Most of the 40 "member ranches" in the cooperative were represented at the meeting, a combination business planning session and barbecue for the whole family.
The Hatfields have built their business with like-minded ranchers throughout Oregon. Their beef is featured at Whole Foods, a 74-store grocery chain the specializes in health food, and at restaurants including Barley Brown's in Baker City. In fact, once a year OCB ranchers must visit a place where their beef is marketed in order to find out more about what diners are looking for in their products and to answer questions.
Richland's Dan Forsea, a fourth-generation rancher who's been an OCB member for three years, says that participation in the program where cattle are contracted up to a year in advance has made his operation "more sustainable."
Selling cattle throughout the year instead of just once annually eases the possibility that a rancher's bread and butter will be sold during a low point in the market and thus reduce his profitability, Forsea said. Calving twice a year rather than once may be more work, but it also means his bulls pull double duty reducing Forsea's cost.
And what Forsea says he likes best about the group is the democratic approach it takes to decision-making.
"If just one person disagrees, we will sit down and come to a consensus before we're done," he said. "That can take some time, but it's worth it in the long run."
A rancher can't lobby OCB to become a member. He or she must be recommended by a member operation.
Members must subscribe to grazing practices that include fencing off riparian areas and leaving non-irrigated land alone long enough for plants to re-grow.
Forsea said he's also noticed more deer on his land over the past three years.
"I got out of the service in 1973 and came back to ranch," he said. "We always hunted, and we always took (wildlife populations) for granted. We've found that if you do your fencing of riparian areas and keep the cattle rotated throughout the rangeland, it makes the riparian areas grow better and the cattle better. And wildlife, especially deer, follow the cattle. It all comes together."
Forsea said that OCB meetings often bring together traditional-looking ranchers with "guys with ponytails and earrings from big cities."
"All of us have the same goals we just want to raise our families," he said.
Making jerky
Always on the lookout for an emerging market, Doc Hatfield has brought in Mark Yaegle to develop an OCB jerky product.
Yaegle has just retired from running Central Market, a 75,000 square foot health food grocery store in Paulsbo, Wash.
Beef jerky, with its appeal to people who spend a lot of time outdoors, gives OCB members yet another way to provide meat that must be low in fat and contain no gristle.
"These ranchers are contracted to sell X amount of beef, and they've got to sell it all," he said. "We can use different cuts, and it will be another way we can help keep our inventory square. You keep your costs down and you sell all your product that's how you make your money."
Today Oregon Country Beef sells 300 head of cattle each week through Beef Northwest that are killed humanely in Toppenish, Wash. Doc Hatfield says people often ask about the conditions there; the cattle are led two-by-two up a ramp and are killed by an electric zapper that's akin to the suddenness of a 30-30 shot to the head.
"They die instantly, and they don't smell the smell of blood," he said.
His wife says she always looks forward to OCB meetings, where one of the group's happy chores is deciding how the profits will be divided.
"We've learned a lot about our customers by talking to them," she said. "I think that's why things have turned out so good.
"We can all stay on our land now."

The future littoral combat ship Fort Worth, LCS 3, has completed sea trials that are its last significant milestone before the ship is delivered to the Navy.
The Fort Worth is the second in the Freedom class of littoral ships, a new breed for the Navy. The ships, which come in two versions, are intended to be fast, light vessels that can operate in shallow coastal waters.
The Freedom arrived in its home port of San Diego in April 2010, and the second-in-line Independence arrived Wednesday. Up to 16 littorals will be in San Diego.
During the Fort Worth's four-day trial on Lake Michigan last week, the Navy conducted tests intended to demonstrate the performance of the engine, ship handling and auxiliary systems.
The Fort Worth is scheduled to be commissioned Sept. 22 in Galveston, Texas.
New destroyer named after Korean War hero
The United States will name its newest destroyer after the last living Navy recipient of the Medal of Honor from the Korean War.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said Monday that the next Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer will be named for Thomas J. Hudner Jr., a naval pilot who crashed his plane to help a fellow airman who was the first African-American aviator to fly in combat.
Hudner was participating in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir when he saw that his wingman, Ens. Jesse L. Brown, was shot down. When it became clear that Brown couldn't climb free, Hudner made the decision to crash his own plane to help. With an injured back, Hudner stayed with Brown until a rescue helicopter arrived. Hudner and the rescue pilot worked in the snow and below-zero temperatures to free Brown from the wreckage but didn't succeed.
Hudner, who lives in Massachusetts, went on to serve an additional 22 years in the Navy before retiring.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- My major focus this week is on 18 buy-rated stocks in the retail-wholesale sector that report quarterly results.On Monday, I profiled the front nine and today it's the back nine. I am calling an earnings beat a birdie, a match a par, and a miss a bogey. An under-par round of earnings from buy-rated retail stocks will be a key to sustaining the upward momentum to the overall stock market.
Tomorrow I will profile the buy-rated names in the Dow industrial average, which set another all-time high at 13,391.84 on Monday. Today the number of buy-rated stocks declined to 15 after IBM (IBM - Get Report) ($207.60) was downgraded to hold from buy this morning. There are 13 hold-rated stocks in the Dow and two sell-rated names; Caterpillar (CAT - Get Report) ($88.33) and DuPont (DD - Get Report) ($55.93). Here are the profiles for the back nine of this week's retail earnings: Reading the Table

Read reviews
Sorrento is a lovely resort with excellent views over the Bay of Naples.
Really enjoyed excursions to Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii , Isle of Capri and the Amalfi Drive Plenty of Restaurants for good food and excellent shopping.
Even theough the hotel llooked a bit dated in places the room was clean and in good condition, the food was excellent and the staff especially the waiters all very professional and polite. The Pool area is nicely set up and appeared to have been recently revamped with all new furniture The hotel is about 10 - 15 minute walk form the centre of sorrento but this did not cause us any concern as a courtesy bus was available and the walk always amused us watching the locals on there motorbikes with dogs, gas cylinders and all manner of other things being transported. We were there for 7 days and it was not long enough.
One minor criticism was the noisy people in the adjacent rooms and some greedy people that thought stealing food and shoving it in there bags was acceptable behaviour.
The Hotel I would say caters more for older people and there is limited evening entertainment but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitley go back
First of all this hotel is not in Sorrento, it is just outside of it. It is a good twenty minute walk into Sorrento. The only 'Grand'thing about the hotel is the reception area, once passed that it is like a hotel from the 70's, I can't see how it has been rated 4 star at all. The Thomson's rep Roxanne was extremely helpful and we booked lots of trips with her which were all very good (have to say though, there was lots of walking on the trip to Rome, Pompei and the Volcano and if you were not fully fit would certainly struggle). This hotel was ok for a base but I would be suprised if anyone would enjoy staying there if they did not do any excursiuons. Food was very repetative and was a bit like going into a canteen rather than enjoying a meal in a restaurant. If you liked fish you were ok but if not you were very limited to choice. The gala nights were like feeding time at the zoo with everyone crowding round a table at the same time and again unless you liked fish you were very limited. We quite often ended up going into the town to buy a pizza afterwards ! Sorrento itself very expensive and the trips although very well organised, had lots of extra costs on the day. Gave us a good insight into Italian life and would return to Rome for a weekend, as on the day trip it really was just a quick look as took about 3 hours there and 3 hours back. On arriving back to Naples airport had to sit on the coach for over an hour before we were allowed in, and once inside very disappointing, hardly any shops or anywhere to eat. Would not return to this hotel as no frills at all and nothing for a 13 year old to do there at all apart from swim. We were in bed by 9:30 p.m. most nights ! As usual though no complains about Thomsons staff at all.
First visit to Sorrento. Parco del Sole was very pleasant and in a good location to local transport and a short walk to Sorrento. The service was excellent and the food good. Overall a very pleasant stay. Found a local bar on the first night and went back there every night for a nightcap 'Tony's Bar'. Worth a visit as he is very customer orientated and the atmosphere was pleasant. Hotel could use a facelift but we would definitely visit again - hopefully next summer.
I always wanted to visit sorrento and did on my 50th birthday year, not over enamoured with the hotel, the food was very poor, i never saw 1 fresh olive, the location-not too far from sorrento but a 20+ min walk along a very busy road, nothing to do within the surrounding area, evening entertainment in the hotel-pool bar with keyboard player-may be 50 this year but-not my scene and definately not for my 2 sons! the hotel pool was 3.50 deep at one end-never seen one that deep on holiday, overall rating, 6/10, very expensive holiday, some on our flight out and return-same hotel, same board basis paid almost 200pp less than i did-total #600-not happy! may be another 50yrs before i return to sorrento let alone this hotel, not impressed!!!

May 4, 2016
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman says Pro Bowlers Cam Newton and Greg Hardy will be ready to practice when the team begins training camp Friday night.
The same can't be said of often-injured running back Jonathan Stewart.
Gettleman says Newton has been cleared medically following ankle surgery on March 19 and is expected to participate in all drills.
The GM says Hardy, convicted on two counts of domestic violence last week, will not face any suspension from the Panthers at this time. Gettleman called it a "very serious matter" but says the team plans to follow the NFL's lead and "respect the legal process" and wait until after Hardy's appeal is heard.
Stewart, who missed 17 games the past two seasons, pulled him hamstring in workouts and will miss 1-2 weeks.

For nominee McGovern, Emmys mark a homecoming
Sunday, September 18, 2011
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — For American expat Elizabeth McGovern, this weekend's Emmys mark something of a home-away-from-homecoming. The actress is a nominee for her lead in the British period drama, "Downton Abbey."
Some 20 years ago, McGovern left the U.S., and a busy Hollywood career, to live in London, which she said she has long considered home. "That's just where life took me," the actress explained in a recent interview, while promoting the upcoming second season of "Abbey." "So I feel particularly emotional about (the nomination). It's been emotional for me just to come back even just for these couple of days, and remind myself where I come from."
The Evanston, Ill., native marked her feature debut at age 19 playing Timothy Hutton's girlfriend in director Robert Redford's 1980 Oscar-winning best-picture smash "Ordinary People," which was followed by a string of generally highly regarded commercial disappointments, including the period pieces "Ragtime" (1981, for which she earned an Oscar nomination), as well as "Racing With the Moon" (1984) and "Once Upon a Time in America" (1984). But not even hitmeister John Hughes could score her a big box-office success, directing her opposite Kevin Bacon in the romantic drama "She's Having a Baby" (1988).
Her Hollywood movie career was put on the back burner following a move to London in 1992 to live with husband-director Simon Curtis, with whom she has two teenage daughters. While McGovern's really never stopped working — on stage, in film and on television, primarily in the U.K. — ratings-hit "Downton" probably marks her highest-profile work since "Ordinary People."
"It feels a similar kind of impact, I must admit," McGovern said. "But at the time of 'Ordinary People,' there was no way I could really appreciate how unusual that was. Now, having put in the years I've put in, I must say, I'm loving it. It is really gratifying. And I just feel so grateful to be a part of it."
For the 50-year-old McGovern, the delayed return to the limelight may prove good timing — coming when television is increasingly providing a haven for female talents of a certain age, including 2011 Emmy nominees Diane Lane, Tina Fey, Laura Linney, Julianna Margulies and Edie Falco.
"The truth, of course, is, that women turning 50 have so much more to give," McGovern said. "They are so much more interesting. There are so many more stories to tell."
She noted how television then adapts these stories "for an audience that is that age, that are sitting at home, that are raising their kids and looking for something that will feed them intellectually, emotionally and speak to them where they are in their lives."
The "Downton" sequel begins at the start of World War I, with McGovern's Cora at a loss as to what to do as the lady of the house after the estate has been converted into a wartime hospital.
As for this Sunday's Emmys? "No matter what happens, it will have been amazing for me and my personal life that my country has had the good taste to pat 'Downton Abbey' on the back. I'm proud of you guys, thank you."
McGovern faces some stiff competition in the lead actress, miniseries or movie category, including Kate Winslet (HBO's "Mildred Pierce"), Diane Lane (HBO's "Cinema Verite"), Taraji P. Henson (Lifetime's "Taken From Me") and Jean Marsh (PBS' "Upstairs Downstairs).
Season two of "Downton Abbey" debuts in the U.K. this weekend and is set to premiere Jan. 8, 2012, on PBS' "Masterpiece Classic."

A toaster that doubles as a printer, how genius is this in both design and functionality?
The print toaster, which connects to your computer through a USB connection, can "print" any image or graphics that you'd like onto the bread, during the toasting incubation period. The toast printer appropriately titled, "Printing your Toast," was designed by a Swedish man by the name of Othmar Muehlebach. His design recently placed second at the 2009 Berner Design Awards.
There is also no need to worry about your toast getting cold anymore, as this toast printer operates much like a typical inkjet printer and prints in succession. Except in this case the printer is actually the toaster, the paper the bread, and the ink has been substituted for heat and coils. Much like an inkjet printer, this toast printer "feeds" its bread into the bread tray. That way you have warm slices of bread coming one after another!
Have you ever been running late in the morning, and you remember at the last second that you need them to "pick up the kids from school today"? Well now there is no need to have that ugly white board on the refrigerator anymore, simply jot down a quick message on the Message Toaster, and it'll do the rest.
The Message Toaster was designed by Sasha Tseng, and provides a message pad to write quick or important notes which can be shared with others. After you write down the note on the pad, you can make certain that your message will find it's intended recipient by burning the message directly onto the bread. That way when your significant other wakes up to the smell of warm toast in the morning and thinks to themselves, "now I remember why I married them," they will be sure to see your message and quickly realize that you had alternative motives!

How do you choose to spend your Thanksgiving holiday? Maybe you will be sitting around a ping pong table in the company of your closest family members and friends (a la Charlie Brown) or perhaps, however slightly less probable, you'll be enjoying a toast with your fellow comrade – 200 miles above earth's orbit.
However you spend the holiday season, it is important to spend this time with family and friends while giving thanks for all that has been provided to us in our life time. Webster defines thankful as, "being conscious of benefit received." These days with our culture's fact-paced lifestyle, it isn't often we take time out of our schedule and consciously recognize the benefits we have received from friends, family, and life in general. Thanksgiving was founded on the principal of appreciation and giving – so honor Thanksgiving by expressing your gratitude with the ones you care most for.
In honor of Thanksgiving, The Supplies Guys would like to mention what we are grateful for. First and foremost we give thanks for our families and health. We are also thankful to our customers – because without your continued support over the years, we wouldn't be writing this today. Our vow to you today, actually more of a commitment, but we will continue to offer to you the products that you need at the lowest prices possible, while providing the best customer service we can. We will continue to be in the business of making happy customers.
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving.

Building a Linux PVR Part I - MythTV Setup and Installby Kristopher Kubicki on September 3, 2004 12:05 AM EST
- Posted in
- Linux
IntroductionOnce in a while, we get so excited about writing an article that we completely lose focus and end up with a 10,000 word epic instead of a concise little review. This two-part Linux TiVo article ended up being one of those articles. Of course, we aren't really building a Linux TiVo, but rather something as close as we can come, with some rudimentary hardware and free software - such as Linux and MythTV.
Considering the cost of a TiVo, service runs anywhere from $100 to $600 per year depending on what DVR and subscription you buy. Building a moderate MythTV machine for around $500 actually saves us money in the long run. Building our own device also allows us to upgrade hardware easily and reconfigure the software at our will.
Ultimately, we would like our machine comparable to a TiVo device; but in actuality, we really would like it to perform as well or better than a machine based on the same hardware running the newest Windows Media Center (Anand wrote a small MCE introduction 18 months ago). Recently, we obtained a new whitebox Media Center device with similar hardware found in this Part I of our Linux TiVo experiment. Our goal for Part I of the article is to get Linux, MythTV and all the trimmings working successfully so that we can square both machines off against each other; and then compare encoding, image quality and functionality. We are publishing Part I: The Installation today, but expect Part II: The Comparison in just a few days.
If all goes well, we will probably follow up with a Part III some weeks later, dissecting Freevo, GeexBox, etc.
Getting StartedThe first thing that we need to do is get our hardware list ready. Obviously, all of our hardware has to work with Linux and Windows Media Center Edition (WinMCE), and we have to watch out for some "gotchas" with lirc (our remote control program) and MythTV. Although not the best distribution on which to install MythTV, we will use SuSE 9.1 for our base Linux install, since we are familiar with it and we use it for all of our other Linux benchmark testbeds. As a result, we first make sure any hardware that we use works with SuSE; listed in the hardwaredb. If a particular hardware that we pick out requires a bit more extensive installation, we can live with that as well, just so long as we can compile our own drivers.
Determining what hardware is supported on Win MCE is a bit more difficult, although there are some resources to help. Fortunately for us, we do not have to determine specifically which hardware MCE runs, since it only ships pre-installed on devices such as our whitebox Media Center. We will try to keep the components of both machines as similar as possible.
Below, we calculate the cost of the whitebox and Linux device:
|Whitebox Windows MCE Device
|Sempron 3100+
|Integrated (VIA)
|Integrated (Realtek 10/100)
|GeForce 4 MX440 128MB
|Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250MCE
|Western Digital 80GB WD800JB
|512MB Micron DDR400
|Sony DDU-1613
|Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
|AnandTech Linux Device
|Sempron 3100+
|Integrated (VIA)
|Integrated (Realtek 10/100)
|GeForce 4 MX440 64MB
|Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250
|Western Digital 80GB WD800JB
|512MB Corsair DDR400
|BenQ 16X OPAL-OC1
|Included with PVR-250
|Opus TT-501
|SuSE Linux 9.1
As you can see, our Linux device is priced out cheaper and we even went fairly frivolous on a lot of items. Another SFF case favorite of ours, the SuperFlower SF-101, sells for $40 with power supply and looks just as good, if not better. We threw a Sempron 3100+ in our test rig for easier comparison between the MCE device and our own, but as you will see later in the analysis, there are some other benefits to using the additional computing power, such as background encoding to Xvid.
Going with a Tuner card for the Linux machine gives us many options. Originally, we had scheduled to run all of our tests with the Hauppage WinTV Go card, which does not have any hardware encoding at all - this card is actually better supported by SuSE as well. However, since we would later be comparing our test rig to a MCE unit that relies mainly on hardware encoding, we thought it best to keep the playing field level on both machines. The MCE unit uses a slightly better version of the PVR-250 card (it has onboard FM support), but for our purposes, the vanilla PVR-250 works just fine (and it comes with a remote).
If you intend to replicate our hardware setup for your own MythTV machine, choosing a WinTV Go card may save you additional cash, but you will definitely need as much crunching power as possible. Combining a software encoding with a slower processor is a recipe for disaster.
Putting all the hardware together only took about 15 minutes; our total time for installation is right now at 15 minutes.
Installing the OS and DriversAs a forewarning, this is not a replacement for the excellent MythTV documentation. We have only included our installation for completeness.
SuSE 9.1 has a blindly simple installation, so we won't really go over that here. We used all default options while installing; everything went very smoothly. Although you may run YAST now for the online update, remember to re-run it again later if you install any RPMs. This is particularly true if you install the kernel-source RPM after you have already updated your kernel to a different version. For the remainder of our article, we will use the 2.6.5-7.104-default kernel.
Unfortunately - as we had somewhat expected - SuSE does not have very good support for Hauppauge hardware encoding PVRs. SuSE knows it's there; it just doesn't know what to do with it.
For us, the most painful part of the installation came when installing IvyTv, the open Linux drivers for iTVC15 found on the Hauppauge PVR-250. IvyTV (commonly called "ivtv") has a simple download page, and we opted for the 0.1.9 release found here. Since we will be compiling some kernel modules, we need to install the kernel-source package from YAST or via RPM. YAST solves all the dependency issues for us, so that is what we generally use.
Back in the ivtv driver directory, we go ahead and run make. If the Linux kernel source is installed correctly, within a few seconds, we should have working PVR kernel modules. We can attempt to load the card right now using the commands below:
# modprobe i2c-core
# modprobe i2c-algo-bit
# modprobe tuner type=2
# modprobe msp3400
# modprobe videodev
# modprobe saa7115
# modprobe ivtv
IvyTV (continued)Supposedly, our tuner card is working correctly. We can quickly check to see if everything went OK by using the utilities included with the ivtv drivers and also by checking the /var/log/messages log. Our log reveals something like this:
Sep 2 13:31:36 linux kernel: ivtv: Found an iTVC16 based chip
Sep 2 13:31:36 linux kernel: i2c-algo-bit.o: (0) scl=1, sda=1

ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 24
ivtv: loaded
Linux finally sees a v4l2 (video 4 linux) device. Note: YAST will not see the card. In order to run the utility packages from ivtv, particularly the tuner script, we needed to install perl and a few dependencies. All of these dependencies can be handled by YAST with the exception of:
perl-Video-ivtv-0.12-1.noarch.rpm (right click to download)
perl-Video-Frequencies-0.03-1.noarch.rpm (right click to download)
We pulled both of these RPMs off ATRPMs.net, but we have included them in the review in case you have difficulty locating them. The ptune-ui.pl utility allows us to change the channels easily for testing our PVR card.
Using the quick and dirty method to capture video, we pulled a few seconds of broadcast to test how well our device was working.
# cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg
If we play this test.mpg back with Kaffeine (or some other player), we will get an mpeg2 stream. So far, so good. We used MPlayer to pull a single frame out of the stream, which can be seen below:
# mplayer -frames 1 -vo jpeg outdir=/tmp:quality=100 test.mpg
Keen observers will note that this image is non-interlaced - something that we will discuss later in our analysis.
Just getting SuSE install and ivtv to play nicely took two hours; our total time for installation right now is at 2.25 hours. Opting for a different distribution that supports the PVR card natively would have been a better idea, but we have already gone this far...
MythTVWe have gone through all the steps to get our hardware configured. From now on, we are basically software limited, assuring that we have properly configured and set up MythTV and its dependencies. Again, for those playing at home, please check the official MythTV documentation for setting up Myth.
The largest issue that most people have with Myth are getting the dependencies correct. We used YAST, which in turn solved many of the dependencies for us. Just a quick refresher on which packages are needed:
Some other items, such as XMLTV, Zap2It and lame, cannot be installed via YAST, and have some specific instructions of their own. Read the MythTV page very carefully.
Following the instructions on the Myth website got us up and compiling very quickly. Using the default compiling options, we had MythTV built and installed in a little under 20 minutes.
Now, we only need to run the setup configuration and install our plugins. The setup comes fairly easily once you become accustomed to using a keyboard or the remote control. There are two things that we must do before runnig ./setup. The first is to get mysql up and running, and then insert the Myth database. Myth's website documents this well.
The second thing to do concerns the Zap2it configuration. DataDirect (from Zap2it) downloads our channel listings and information, which is detailed on the MythTV page as well. Without DataDirect, we lose all of our Tivo-like functionality. Make sure to run the mythfilldatabase command before starting MythTV!
Finally, it is time to run ./setup. When we run the command, we are greeted with a simple screen with a few options. As we install plugins, this screen gets more complicated.
The majority of options should be left relatively unchanged, but since Myth is so configurable, we will go over some of the more interesting configuration options before Part II. Once in the initial setup screen, the first option allows us to configure the Myth database server. Remember, the Myth front end has no objections to running on a separate machine that does not have a PVR card at all!
MythTV (continued)Moving onto the capture card menu, we can select our capture card and configure it for default options. Although SuSE/YAST does not recognize our Hauppauge PVR-250, MythTV sees the device as a Video for Linux device.
Myth also allows us to use multiple tuners, something that we will go into more detail with in Part II. In the Input connection menu, we can modify our input sources from the PVR-250 card. By selecting the "Tuner 0" option, we can add the DataDirect channel stream and thus, all of our channels are automatically programmed in. The other inputs here allow us to do fun things with Myth, like capture our Gamecube output on one of the composite or S-Video connections as well.
Going into the channel menu, we can see all of our channels from DataDirect programmed into the database. We are now ready to start playing with MythTV.
Starting MythTV is a two-part endeavor. First, we must run the backend, which can be done by just typing the command mythbackend.
Then, starting the frontend can be done in a different shell by running the command mythfrontend. By doing so, the main Myth menu turns on, and we can reconfigure this to go straight to video instead.
Testing the WaterThere are many more configuration options inside these menus here. We can go straight to TV and just watch a live feed, or we can configure some of our options for video recording priority, etc. For now, we are just going to jump into the program guide.
We see a very clean interface similar to SageTV or BeyondTV. We can actually go a bit further and check out programs by name rather than by channel and date.
Recording is then done just by pressing record on one of the menu options, but it can also be initiated through manual recording the channel instead of recording the show.
We don't want to spoil all of the fun for Part II, so we will just post a few teasers here in the meantime.

Modifying your encoding codecs, allowing background transcoding!

Total time to setup so far: 4 hours, 25 minutes.
Final ThoughtsAnd finally, after several hours of turmoil and despair, we have installed and tested our Linux device. Its far from perfect - we cannot readily work with digital TV broadcasts, for example. What we do have is a machine that will readily emulate all of the basic Windows MCE or TiVo functionality at a reduced cost - and we can hack/configure/manipulate it to any extent that we wish to in the future. On the downside, it did take us over four hours to set up and install everything.
Another item to consider in our cumulative upcoming comparison is that you cannot easily (legally?) scrap together some hardware and install Windows MCE on it. We can do some neat things with programs like BeyondTV and SageTV, but we are not given the full experience of Windows MCE (and certainly not for free).
Other drawbacks of MCE devices include the inability to play back the video content on anything but other MCE devices, and the inability to re-render the recorded files into a different format to save space. With MythTV and Linux, on the other hand, we can capture, re-encode and playback on completely separate machines, even Windows systems. For the truly crafty, Myth allows us to connect the front end of a different machine to the first MythTV system and play video files/streams in that manner.
These are all functionality comparisons that we will get into more in Part II, so stay tuned and get ready to see if our little Linux experiment can take on Microsoft's best.

This is an interesting marriage…. the music of Juno Reactor and cuts from the German film 'Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes' AKA 'Aguirre: The Wrath of God' starring Klaus Kinski. Klaus was notorious for having a short temper, and the director is said to have goaded him during the weeks of filming in the jungle. Klaus was so angry at one time he shot a gun into a tent where some of the crew were playing cards, he shot the finger off of one of the grips. During the raft sequence the raft with the cameras got swept downstream away from the other rafts and nearly went over a waterfall… and I suppose Klaus was steaming the whole time. But the surly, bitter-faced Kinski was a professional, and he pushed himself to complete the project, and his dour mood certainly brings a sense of hopeless frustration, and a melancholy loneliness to the film.

A comedy about making a TV show scored big at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday, as "30 Rock" rolled winning best comedy, best lead actor for Alec Baldwin and best actress for Tina Fey, who also took the award for best comedy writing.
The first season of cable's stylish series about advertising in the 1960s, "Mad Men" came into the Emmys with the most nominations for a series and won home with best drama and best writing for its creator Matthew Weiner.
But its starr Jon Hamm was upset by the star of the only other original drama on AMC, Bryan Cranston, best known as the dad on "Malcolm in the Middle," who won for his intense role as a science teacher turned meth cook in the dark first year series "Breaking Bad."
It was America's second president however who ended up first in Emmys at the event, as
HBO's lavish "John Adams" won Emmys for best miniseries, directing and writing as well as for its leads, Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney won best actors in portraying its leading parts, John and Abigail Adams and Tom Wilikinson as supporting actor for his part as Benjamin Franklin.
"John Adams" went into the event with the most nominations of any program, 23. Its six wins Sunday, added to the eight technical awards it won last week at the Creative Arts Emmys, made it the most Emmys ever won by a miniseries, surpassing the 11 won by another HBO production, "Angels in America," in 2004.
"This is a hell of a thing thank you," said flustered New Haven native Giamatti. "I'm living proof, kids at home watching, that anybody can play president."
Linney, who resides in Connnecticut, says the award "will me a great a reason to stop and pause and be so grateful and thankful for the community organizers who helped build our country."
It was one of several pointed political comments that came in acceptance speeches for the work.
"You know, the election between Jefferson and Adams was filled with innuendo, lies, a bitter partisan press of disinformation," miniseries producer Tom Hanks said in his acceptance speech. "How great we've come so far since then."
But when writer Kirk Ellis started to go on about being glad to have the opportunity "to talk about a period in our history "when articulate men articulated complex thoughts in complete sentences," he was cut off by the director (who had also won an Emmy Sunday, for his work on the Oscars) and they went to commercial.
Fey, who got wide attention a week ago for playing Sarah Palin in the season opener of "Saturday Night Live," laid off the politics accepting the second consecutive comedy win for "30 Rock."
"We're so grateful to be up here again tonight, and so grateful to have survived into our third season," she said, saying earlier, "I want to tank my parents for somehow raising me to have confidence that is disproportionate to my looks and ability."
Baldwin, a first time winner in the category called her "the Elaine May of her generation."
Greenwich born Glenn Close won best actress in a drama by playing hard-as-nails attorney Patty Hewes in the dark FX legal drama "Damages."
She thanked her fellow nominees, whom she called "the sisterhood of the TV drama series."
"I think we're proving that complicated powerful mature women are sexy and high entertainment and can carry a show," she said.
Earlier, a member of the "Damages" ensemble, Zeljko Ivanek, won best supporting actor in a drama.
Jeremy Piven won his third consecutive Emmy for supporting actor in a comedy for his charged role as Ari Gold in "Entourage," though he said that sometimes in rehearsals "I feel I should go into rehearsals I'm so bad."
Jean Smart won best supporting actress in a comedy for playing the mother in the first year comedy series "Samantha Who?"
Dianne Wiest wasn't present to win her Emmy for her role as the shrink's shrink in the low-rated HBO series "In Treatment."
There was no "John Adams" representitive in supporting actress in a miniseries or movie, so it went to Dame Eileen Atkins in the "Masterpiece Theatre" presentation of "Cranford."
Don Rickles, 82, who cut up while presenting, returned to win individual performance in a comedy program, a film about his life called "Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project."
"It's a mistake," he said. "I'm just stunned by this. I been in this business 55 years and the biggest award I've gotten was an ashtray from the Friars in New York."
"Recount," HBO's retelling of the 2000 presidential election, won best TV movie and best director for Jay Roach.
Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart split a pair of awards; Colbert got one for writing, Stewart for outstanding comedy or variety show.
It was a mess of an awards show, with creaky sets from old sitcoms clashing with the incompetence of the reality show hosts enlisted to co host, whose stumbling opening put the whole rest of the show late.
"What if I kept talking 12 minutes what would happen?" Piven said. "That was the opening."
Late in the show Jeff Probst admitted that some had warned them "the 'nothing' bit may not work. And we stuck to our guns."
It also meant that the show rushed through the later, more important awards to make its 11 p.m. cutoff, with glamorous presenters given nothing to do but read nominations and rip envelopes.
One of the awards given late that wasn't important, by the way, was best reality competition host. Probst won, if you must know.
And what a weird category it was; Phil Koeghan wasn't nominated, but his show "The Amazing Race" won its sixth consecutive Emmy as best reality competition. No other show has ever won the category. It all must have happened despite its host.

Babys head measuring too small?
My doctor said my babys head was measuring small. They told me not to worry, but of course I am. I get a sonogram done weekly (she has gastroschisis) and now this. They said this before, but for about 2 months her head was back on track. Now they said it's small again. Anybody else told this?

Hi - I know this post is old, but if you check this, can you please let me know what the outcome was? Did the baby's head catch up and was your baby born healthy? I am going thru the same thing right now, head and legs measuring behind and am schedule for an ultrasound next week. I am scared and worried, but after readinng some positive outcomes on here, i feel much better.posted 07/21/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

text: October 12, 2013 - A leading human rights group on Friday accused Syrian rebels of war crimes especially in villages supporting the regime. Syrian villagers described watching rebels advance on their homes, as mortars thudded around them. By the end of the August attack, 190 civilians had been killed, including children, the elderly and the handicapped, Human Rights Watch said in its most detailed account of alleged war crimes committed by those fighting the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The New York-based group said the offensive against 14 pro-regime villages in the province of Latakia was planned and led by five Islamic extremist groups, including two linked to al-Qaida. Other rebel groups, including those belonging to the Free Syrian Army, a Western-backed alliance, participated in the campaign, but there is no evidence linking them to war crimes, the 105-page report said. Human Rights Watch particularly focussed on rebel abuses in the Aug. 4-18 Latakia offensive, compiling a list of 190 civilians killed, at least 67 of which at close range or while trying to flee. The rebels also seized more than 200 civilians from the villages, most of them women and children, and demanded to trade the hostages for prisoners held by the regime, the group said. More than 100,000 Syrians have been killed in the conflict. (Source: AP)

Whisky Live goes to DurbsThu, 20 Sep 2012 10:48 AM
Showcasing whiskies from all around the world, the FNB Whisky Live Festival is the largest whisky and lifestyle event of its kind and attracts more visitors than any other whisky festival globally.
Now celebrating its 10th year, the 2012 FNB Whisky Live Festival has grown from strength to strength reflecting the demand and expansion opportunities for whisky and related luxury products in the South African market.
Due to this growth and popularity of the festival, the FNB Whisky Live Festival 2012 will now be launching a whole month earlier to accommodate a third leg to the show in Durban.
The FNB Whisky Live Festival will launch in Cape Town from 3 to 5 October at the Cape Town International Convention Center, then make its way to Durban from 1 to 2 November at the Durban International Convention Center and end in Johannesburg from 7 to 9 November 2012 at the Sandton Convention Center. The festival will be open between 18h00 – 22h00 daily.
Since launching in 2002, the FNB Whisky Live Festival has succeeded in breaking away from the conventional exhibition style event to showcase a fresh take on the world of whisky, and in doing so, constantly attracting newcomers to the festival and the whisky category as a whole.
"With the growing interest from females and the 25-35 year old age group, the festival enjoyed a footfall of over 18 000 patrons last year. The decision to kick off a month earlier and include Durban in the mix was a natural progression", says Sian Neubert, co-organiser of the festival.
With regular Whisky Live festivals held in global cities like London, Paris, Tokyo and New York, the FNB Whisky Live Festival in South Africa is regarded as the world's ultimate place to live, breathe, experience and learn to love whisky.
The success of the FNB Whisky Live Festival is largely attributed to the experiential edutainment format which ensures that visitors, whether passionate connoisseurs of the elixir that is whisky, a first-time taster, or an every-day enthusiast keen to learn, see, and taste more from life. The FNB Whisky Live Festival has something for everyone. Every glass of dram – new or old – holds some new mystery, some new discovery.

Hundreds turn out for Joplin mosque rally
Sunday, August 26, 2012
JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — Hundreds of people turned out for a rally aimed at showing solidarity with area Muslims whose mosque was destroyed in a suspicious fire.
The Neighbors-Joplin Mosque Rally was organized by Ozark Christian College student Ashley Carter and held Saturday evening in Joplin.
The Islamic Society of Joplin's mosque was destroyed in a fire Aug. 6. No one was injured. The mosque that served about 50 families. Federal investigators say they've been unable to determine the cause of the blaze, though the investigation remains open. Another fire at the same mosque July 4 was determined to be arson. No one has been arrested.
Shafique Chowdhury, a member of the mosque, told The Joplin Globe (http://bit.ly/SF49Wp ) the rally shows what he calls "the power of love over the power of hatred."
