Allow me to introduce myself! I am Sammy the Starfish and I am stuck on Safer Water!
For water dwelling folks like me, it's wonderful that we live in a world so abundant with water, but for you land living fellows, water can be dangerous! Just like the my danger out of water cannot be totally eliminated, for you, the dangers in the water can never be totally eliminated, but we can make the water safer.
I am sure some of you are thinking, how can I make water safer? Well, just consider and follow the steps below and you too can be a star of Safer Water!
Step one is to identify a safety issue. Take a moment, find some nice wall to stick to and think about all the places water can be found around you. Oceans and pools to be sure, but also bath tubs, sinks, even buckets can provide a danger to some of you little humans. Once you can identify the risk, you can also take steps to minimize the danger.
Be sure to provide barriers, fences, and restricted access to the larger bodies of water. It is very important to stick to these rules. It is difficult to remain vigilant all the time. As someone can drown in as little as 5 minutes, limiting access to the water can mean the difference between life and death.
There is more to identifying dangers than simply recognizing areas of water that could pose a risk. You must also determine what risks are specific to that body of water.
As you can imagine, I spend a lot of time in the ocean, so I am well aware of rip tides, strong surf, and currents. Being familiar with how water can behave in the ocean is something every SwimKid should know. Did you know: The best way to deal with a rip tide is not to swim directly back to shore, but to swim parallel to the shore, gradually swimming diagonally back towards the beach?
Last but not least, let me bring up another star you should know; your water watcher or life guard! Always make sure to swim in a supervised area. As I said, not all of us are lucky enough to be a fish let alone also a star. Even the best swimmers are not free of the dangers of the water. Having someone educated in water safety on hand, watching the water and ready to help is an absolute must. But Safer Response is not really my area of expertise. For that, I will turn you over the the capable fins of Gilbert Guppy!
As always, I am Sammy Starfish reminding you that for Safer Water, look to the Star!
Winter is coming to a close, which means spring break is right around the corner! Going to the pool is always a great spring break activity, and these fun water games will boost the fun!
Swimming games are a fun way to get active in the pool, but it is important to stay safer in the water as well. Be aware of the swimming skills of each child involved and be sure to have at least 1 adult in the water for every 5 kids playing. Most games can be modified to accommodate less experience swimmers if you stay in a shallow area of the pool where they can touch the bottom. Pay close attention to the kids during these games, especially if they involve holding their breath! Remember, water can never be "safe," only "safer." Practice the Safer 3: safer water, safer kids, and safer response.
To keep children safer in the water, designate an adult "water watcher" to enforce swimming only in supervised areas and watch the children with no distractions until relieved by another adult. The water watcher should also know how to use the available rescue equipment and be prepared to call 911 if necessary.
Treasure Hunt – Put some money on a diving game by throwing spare change into the water. Let players dive for the coins. The winner could come out a bit richer!
Scavenger Hunt – Find pairs of items that will sink in the water and drop them into the pool. See who can find one of each item first!
Pirates – For this game, select an odd number of diving toys and toss them into the pool. The players are divided into two teams and whichever team comes back with the most pool toys wins!
Invisibottle – Fill a clear plastic water bottle with water and try to find it in the pool. You'll be surprised how easily it camouflages!
Marco Polo – This is a classic swimming game known for having lots of cheaters, so make sure to keep everyone honest! One player closes their eyes in the pool and when he/she calls out "Marco," the rest of the players have to call back "Polo!" Whoever is "it" has to try and find someone to tag and once they do, that person becomes "it". Just remember, whoever is "it" has to keep their eyes closed and the rest of the players have to answer when he/she calls "Marco". Don't let the person who is "it" wander into any walls or the deep end!
Belly Flop Contest – An old classic and always good for a laugh! Just make sure the water is deep enough.
Handstand Contest – This game is simple. One player is the "judge" and the rest do an underwater handstand and see who can hold it the longest. The judge determines the winner. Just make sure nobody holds their breath too long!
Jump/Dive/Twist – This is best off of a diving board and should only be played in water 6 feet deep or greater. One player goes to the diving board and as soon as they are just about to jump, friends below yell either "jump," "dive," or "twist". The diver then has to react quickly to be able to complete the correct action.
Cannonball contest – Need we say more? Again, just make sure the water is deep enough and go for the biggest splash!
Mermaid/ Dolphin/Submarine Races – A game with lots of names, just hold your breath and see who can swim the furthest. Just be careful that nobody holds their breath too long!
Sharks and Minnows – a swim team favorite, one player starts off as the "shark" and the rest of the players line up at one end of the pool. When the shark says "go," the "minnows" try to swim past him/her to the other side of the pool. If a minnow is tagged, they become a shark until there are no minnows left!
Categories – One player stands outside of the pool, right at the edge, and names a category such as colors, breakfast cereal, etc. The rest of the players are in the water, lined up at the end of the pool and they each think of an item within the selected category. The person who is it turns around and starts listing items from that category (blue, red, green etc.). When the players in the water hear their selection called out, they have to try to swim to the other side of the pool as quickly and quietly as possible. If the person who is it hears them, they turn around, jump into the water, and try to catch them before they reach the other side of the pool. If they catch them, that player becomes "it".
Dolphins and Sharks – Designate half of the players as dolphins and the other half as sharks. One end of the pool will be a "safe spot" for the dolphins, and the other end for the sharks. Have both teams start out in the middle of the pool and have a third party yell either "dolphins attack" or "sharks attack!". Whoever is called has to try and tag as many players from the other team as they try to swim quickly back to their safe spot. The game ends when all of the players are on the same team.
Duck Push – This game is good for a laugh! Take a few floating rubber ducks and have players race to push them across the pool with their noses. Whoever's duck makes it to the finish line first wins! This game is great for children who may not be the strongest swimmers. Just remember to stay close!
Chicken Fight – This game is better for teens or adults. Make sure to stay away from the sides of the pool so no one gets hurt! Create two-person teams where one person is on the bottom and the other sits on their shoulders. The goal is to knock the other team's top person off of the bottom person. Be careful with this one, it can get crazy!
Greased Watermelon Football – This is just as fun to watch as it is to play! Grease a watermelon with Vaseline or something similar and throw it into a pool. Two teams duke it out to see who can get the watermelon out of the pool first. It is tricky to hang on to that watermelon!
Atomic whirlpool – This game works best with a large group of people. While in the water, run or walk as fast as you can around the outer edge of the pool. This will create a current that will gently carry everyone like a "whirlpool".
Noodle Joust – Go medieval with this fun pool game! Every player can choose a mighty steed (pool floaty) and a soft pool noodle to have a joust. First player to knock the other off their floaty wins!
Bobbing heads – This game resembles the carnival game "Whack-A-Mole." One player takes a soft object, like a pool noodle, and tries to tap other players on the head when they come up for air. The rest of the players are "safe" when they are underneath the water, but can be tapped when they bob their heads up. This game works great for kids who aren't super strong swimmers, just stay where they can touch the pool floor!
Number Crunch – This game requires a little bit of preparation, but is very fun! Write numbers (for point values) on about 25 ping-pong balls and toss them around the pool. Have a race for teams to retrieve all the balls from the pool and put them into their team's bucket. Here's the catch, players can only get one ball at a time. Once all of the balls have been collected, teams add up their point total. Whichever team ends up with the highest point value wins!
Piranha Ball – 3 or more players hold hands to make a circle around a floating beach ball. The point of the game is you do NOT want to touch the ball or else you are out! Players can try to blow the ball or pull other players so that they touch the ball, but you can't let the ball out of the circle! For larger groups, you can add more than one ball! This game is fun for kids who aren't very strong swimmers as long as you stay where they can touch the bottom!
Popsicle – This fun game is like freeze tag in the water. One person is "it" and they try to tag and "freeze" all the other players until there is nobody left. Players can be "unfrozen" by another player swimming between their legs.
Octopus – If you've ever played Red Rover, you have a pretty good idea of how to play octopus. Players divide into two teams and each team joins hands. The teams take turns inviting another player from the opposing team to try and swim through their chain. If the swimmer makes it through, they get to bring a swimmer from that team back with them to their own team. If the swimmer doesn't make it through, they switch to the opposing team. This game works well for younger swimmers if it is played in shallow water!
F-I-S-H – If you have a poolside basketball net, this game is for you! Players take turns trying to make a basket or a stunt shot. If they don't make it, they get a letter. Once a player spells out "fish" they are out. The winner is the last player standing!
Rob the Nest – This game is similar to capture the flag. Have a couple of pool toys at the end of each side of the pool and divide into two teams. The first team to retrieve the items from the opposing team's "nest" wins the game!

With spring break just around the corner, most kids are excited to get back into the pool. This excitement is natural, but in order to keep pools, oceans, and lakes a fun place, it is important to keep them safer. The reason we use the word, "safer" and not "safe" is because water is a hazard and is never entirely safe. While you may not have been swimming or even thinking about water over the winter, the hazards did not go away. However, these tips can help you and your family have fun and stay safer in and around the water this spring break.
Take a CPR class and/or swim lessons before you go. It is much better to know CPR and not have to use it than the alternative. Water can be unpredictable and it is always a good idea to be prepared for any scenario. Being prepared also entails teaching your child to swim. Formal swimming lessons reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children ages 1-4. Babies can even start swimming lessons as young as 2 months old. While swimming lessons are never a guarantee, they can make a huge difference in protecting your child from water dangers.
With the spring and summer approaching, it's time to start thinking about your little one swimming. Whether you swim indoors or outdoors, there are multiple hazards that can be unsafe for children. In the graphic below we show the different hazards and how to stay safe around them.

Love to swim but hate the effect the chlorine has on your hair? Well, now you can learn to protect your hair before, during and after swimming. Let's start by explaining what chlorine is and why it's in the pool to begin with. Chlorine is used as a water disinfectant, and without it, you wouldn't want to swim in the pool to begin with! Chlorine helps keep the water safe and clean enough to swim in. Short, occasional exposures to chlorine won't cause much damage to your hair, but overtime it can lead to dryness or change the tone of dyed hair.
Here are three basic tips that are absolutely FREE and can help you protect your hair!
Here are three products that you can use to increase the protection on your hair!
Don't let chlorine damage get in the way of swimming! The damage is very preventable and treatable and we hope this tips will help you!
Many parents face a dilemma in the winter months: "to swim, or not to swim?"
Old wives tales concerning children's health in the winter are often taken as fact. When it comes to telling the difference between heath basics and popular mythology, parents don't always have all the right information. Dr. Norris Payne of Payne Pediatrics offers some facts to dispel these myths.
MYTH #1: Swimming, cold, and wind can cause ear infections.
FACT: Middle ear infections (otitis media), common in small children, are caused by viruses and infectious colds. Typically, fluids from the Eustachian tubes in the ear drain through the nose and throat. During illness, passages constrict and the fluid builds up and may become infected. Swimmer's ear seems to be a combination of factors. Warm humid air, warm water, length of time exposed to water, the natural enzymatic activity in the ear canal and the presence of bacteria are factors that predispose the ear to swimmer's ear.
MYTH #2: A clear, runny nose is not contagious.
FACT: A clear, runny nose does not necessarily indicate a lack of infection. On the other hand, a colored discharge does not necessarily mean infection. Other symptoms should be considered as well as the length of time the symptoms have been present.
MYTH #3: Going outside with wet hair will cause a cold.
FACT: Wet hair, icy temperatures, and exposed heads don't cause colds. Only viruses do! Rhinovirus survives better from late spring through early fall, when humidity is high.
MYTH #4: Most colds are caught in the winter.
FACT: Don't let the name fool you– most "colds" are caught in the spring and the fall. The virus which causes colds becomes largely dormant in the winter.
MYTH #5: Sudden changes in temperature or getting caught in the rain will cause colds.
FACT: If one becomes ill after experiencing these weather conditions, Dr. Payne believes the illness and the weather are just a coincidence. Viruses cause colds, not the weather. However, Dr. Payne does agree changes in weather conditions may cause allergies to flare up. Sneezing and runny noses lasting a few days are indications of an allergic reaction; colds last about 1-2 days.

Parents of children with asthma may worry that their child will not get enough physical activity. Academic and scientific studies have shown that getting regular exercise and living a healthy lifestyle may help asthmatics keep their asthma under control.
Many have found that swimming provides them with an exercise option that enables them to stay active year-round. Swimming is considered low asthmogenicity, in other words, the risk of an asthma attack while swimming is lower than other forms of exercise.
Why is swimming a great option for people with asthma? The Asthma and Allergy Foundation recommends swimming because the warm, moist air found in indoor swimming environments may improve asthmatics ability to breathe during exercise. Dry, cold air can trigger an asthma attack, which can prevent exercise during the winter months.
Due to swimming's emphasis on breath control, some studies have shown that swimming can increase lung volume in asthmatics, contributing to their overall fitness as well as teaching them beneficial breathing techniques. One study made by Wang Jeng-Shing from the Taipei Medical University indicated that a six week swimming class showed improvements in the symptoms of a group of 30 asthmatic children, aged seven through twelve. The positive effects of horizontal posture in the water has been tested but no results have as of yet been conclusive.
Though it is theorized that chlorine and sweat create a byproduct that may irritate the airway, studies conducted on the relationship between swimming and asthma have produced conflicting results. While it is also true that some studies have suggested that indoor swimming pools might increase children's risk of childhood asthma, immunology specialist Matthew Rank, M.D. stresses that there is not enough clinical evidence to warrant keeping children away from indoor pools. Having a well-ventilated pool deck as well as rinsing off after each class can lower the risk.
One thing that can be agreed on is that aerobic fitness is beneficial for asthmatics and contributes to their overall health. Dr. Michael Goodman, an epidemiologist, pediatric physician, and teacher at Emory University, conducted a "meta study" wherein he reviewed 25 separate studies that dealt with the effects of indoor swimming on asthma.
"Parents should be worried about lack of exercise in children," Dr. Goodman said. "This is by far one of the most important public health problems with children. So exercise is important, and exercise with asthmatics is important."
I went into the Olympic Trials knowing that the top six finishers in the 100 and 200 freestyles make the team. All I had wanted was to slip into that sixth place spot and make the team. My first swim was the 200 freestyle and I let my nerves get the best of me and ended up adding three seconds. I was of course upset but that swim just made me all the more hungry to do well in the 100. I saw the 100 as a chance to redeem myself because I had invested way too much time and energy to let a small hiccup, like being nervous, stand in my way. The 100 freestyle at Trials was the most painful race I have ever swum, but it was also a race that I take the greatest pride in. After touching the wall and seeing that I came in fourth, I immediately began to bawl. I guess I was so emotional because I kept envisioning seeing a "6" next to my name and the "4" caught me by surprise. Not only that but I was also fulfilling a dream of mine. I felt like I was still in a dream until I actually arrived in the aquatics arena in London for the Games.
I loved how the US swim team trained together for 2 weeks; one week in Tennessee and the other in Vichy, France. That gave us a lot of time to bond and we all became really close. It was really fun to get to know everyone. The training was a lot of fun and we even had a lot of down time to just chill and be with each other, but all of the tapering was making me anxious and I could not wait to race. Honestly, I've never wanted to race so badly in my life. The good thing was that I was going to be swimming the first day of the Games. I was actually completely excited, not nervous. The Olympic Trials were so much more nerve wracking than the actual Olympics because at the Olympics, you're already on the team. There isn't any pressure to make the team anymore, your job was just to make sure you give it your all and out-swim the opposing countries.
One of my favorite things was obviously being on the relay. I was so thrilled to lead it off and to finally swim…at the Olympics! After the race was over all I wanted to do was to swim it again. When I was told that I'd be swimming on the night relay, I was over the moon ecstatic. It was such an honor to represent the country, in both the prelims and finals relays, and to stand on the podium was surreal. My other favorite thing was the Olympic Village; it's amazing to see the best athletes in the world all in one place. It's like a utopia of really fit people. Other things that made life seem perfect were the constant massages that we would get during training and at the Olympics, 24/7 dining hall, team uniform, becoming great friends with people on the team and learning from each other, and so much more. The experience was invaluable. I am so lucky to have experienced and be a part of something so amazing. People told me it would be an unforgettable experience and I'm here to say that I can vouch for that. It makes all the countless hours of swimming up and down the pool definitely all worth the while.
The term "gross motor" development refers to physical skills that use large body movements. In this context, gross means "large" as opposed to "fine" motor skills, such as gripping a pencil.
For children, every day is an opportunity to grow, master, and refine the many physical skills that we, as adults, no longer even think about. Strength, balance, and coordination must all be developed through repetition and intense periods of concentration to which children are naturally inclined. You have probably observed this behavior in your child: climbing on furniture, reaching up to pull items off the counter, jumping off the stairs– not always ideal in terms of safety. The best way we can facilitate this natural process is to provide rich and safe environments for children to explore their abilities and push the boundaries of their gross motor skills. Structured, stimulating classes (such as swimming!) provide a perfect outlet for their growing bodies to move!
Recent studies have indicated that our brains go through critical periods of development as we grow older. While these so called "windows of opportunity" do not slam shut at any certain age, they certainly narrow as we grow up. With regards to gross motor skills, the critical period of development seems to take place between the prenatal period and the age of five. These are the years in which experience is vital to laying the "foundation" of brain circuits connected to motor control. Where it was once understood that we were born with complete "wiring", it is now the view that while we are born with certain fundamental circuits (for breathing, heartbeat, reflexes), the rest of the brain's pathways are determined by experience. These connections are made only through experiences and stimulation from the environment.
Early experiences lay the groundwork for lifelong learning and behavior. Taking full advantage of this explosion of brain development that takes place during these early years will continue to benefit your child for years to come.

Crews probe cistern near missing KC baby's home
Tuesday, October 11, 2011
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Authorities searching for a 10-month-old girl are looking inside a cistern under the deck of a vacant Kansas City home.
The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/mY17vd ) reports a firefighter reported feeling something after being lowered into the waterproof receptacle about 11 a.m. Tuesday. A different person was lowered down before noon.
Two large trucks with suction equipment have arrived at the home to drain water from the cistern.
Lisa Irwin's parents, Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley, reported their daughter missing after her father returned home from work a week ago Tuesday. Her parents said someone must have crept into their home while the child's mother and brothers slept and snatched the girl.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
15:20-34 All that are by faith united to Christ, are by his resurrection assured of their own. As through the sin of the first Adam, all men became mortal, because all had from him the same sinful nature, so, through the resurrection of Christ, shall all who are made to partake of the Spirit, and the spiritual nature, revive, and live for ever. There will be an order in the resurrection. Christ himself has been the first-fruits; at his coming, his redeemed people will be raised before others; at the last the wicked will rise also. Then will be the end of this present state of things. Would we triumph in that solemn and important season, we must now submit to his rule, accept his salvation, and live to his glory. Then shall we rejoice in the completion of his undertaking, that God may receive the whole glory of our salvation, that we may for ever serve him, and enjoy his favour. What shall those do, who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Perhaps baptism is used here in a figure, for afflictions, sufferings, and martyrdom, as Mt 20:22,23. What is, or will become of those who have suffered many and great injuries, and have even lost their lives, for this doctrine of the resurrection, if the dead rise not at all? Whatever the meaning may be, doubtless the apostle's argument was understood by the Corinthians. And it is as plain to us that Christianity would be a foolish profession, if it proposed advantage to themselves by their faithfulness to God; and to have our fruit to holiness, that our end may be everlasting life. But we must not live like beasts, as we do not die like them. It must be ignorance of God that leads any to disbelieve the resurrection and future life. Those who own a God and a providence, and observe how unequal things are in the present life, how frequently the best men fare worst, cannot doubt as to an after-state, where every thing will be set to rights. Let us not be joined with ungodly men; but warn all around us, especially children and young persons, to shun them as a pestilence. Let us awake to righteousness, and not sin.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 33. - Be net deceived. Do not be led astray by such specious maxims. They can only arise from that too great familiarity with the heathen against which I have already put you on your guard. Evil communications corrupt good manners. An iambic line from the 'Thais' of Menander, and perhaps taken by Menander from a play of Euripides. More accurately it means "evil associations corrupt excellent morals." According to the best reading (χρηστὰ, not χρησθ), St. Paul does not quote it as an iambic, and in itself it does not offer the least shadow of proof that St. Paul was familiar with classic literature. It is just such a line as he might have seen carved on the Hermae of any Greek town, or preserved in any chrestomathy or gnomology which may have chanced to pass through his hands. His other classic quotations (from Epimenides, Titus 1:12; and Aratus or Cleanthes, Acts 17:28) are of the same common and proverbial character. It is very unlikely that he would have deliberately quoted from the immoral play of a corrupt comedian like Menander. (For the sentiment, see 2 Timothy 2:16-18.)
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Be not deceived,.... By such as deny the doctrine of the resurrection, and by their reasonings about it; or by such libertines who go into the denial of it, and argue from thence in favour of their licentious course of life:
evil communications corrupt good manners. This is a sentence taken out of Menander, an Heathen poet, showing how dangerous is the conversation of evil men, and what an influence bad principles communicated and imbibed, have on the lives and practices of men. This the apostle cites not out of ostentation, or to show his reading, learning, and acquaintance with such sort of writers; but partly to observe, that this was a truth obvious by the light of nature, and partly because such a testimony might be more regarded by the Corinthians, who might be fond of such authors, and what was said by them; just as when he was at Athens among the philosophers there, he cites a passage out of Aratus, Acts 17:28 as he does another out of Epimenides concerning the Cretians, Titus 1:12.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
33. evil communications corrupt good manners—a current saying, forming a verse in Menander, the comic poet, who probably took it from Euripides [Socrates, Ecclesiastical History, 3.16]. "Evil communications" refer to intercourse with those who deny the resurrection. Their notion seems to have been that the resurrection is merely spiritual, that sin has its seat solely in the body, and will be left behind when the soul leaves it, if, indeed, the soul survive death at all.
good—not only good-natured, but pliant. Intimacy with the profligate society around was apt to corrupt the principles of the Corinthians.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Additional Commentaries
The Order of Resurrection
…32If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE. 33Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." 34Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

Nashville, TN. A crowd gathers outside of Steve McNair's apartment after learning of his death. (AP Photo/Josh Anderson)
Police say a Nevada middle school boy used a semi-automatic handgun to wound two students and kill a math teacher before turning the weapon on himself.
The shooting occurred about 15 minutes before the opening bell at Sparks Middle School on Monday. The student's name wasn't released, and his motive for the shooting wasn't known.
Teacher Michael Landsberry was being hailed as a hero for trying to protect children from their gun-wielding classmate outside the school. Twenty to 30 horrified students witnessed the shooting as they returned to classes from a weeklong fall break.

Abigail Stokes, Westminster College student, sings "If I Had a Hammer" by Pete Seeger Wednesday during a memorial to honor the American folk musician who died on January 27. The Rubato Music Club and Spiritual Life at Westminster organized the event. Stokes said gave a speech, saying her mother used to sing to her Seeger's song, "Abby Yo Yo" when she was young. She added that she identified with Seeger as a humanitarian because his music always came with a moving message.

Should I breastfeed or bottle-feed my baby?
I know breast milk is best for my baby but the thought of nursing fills me with dread. I keep saying I'm planning to breastfeed but the closer I get to my due date, the more my anxiety grows. Meanwhile, the thought of bottle-feeding fills me with relief. Should I try to breastfeed or go with bottle-feeding?

Liza - no need to be sorry for anything - it's good we all have different experiences to share so other women feel good about any choice they make regarding feeding their newborn. Keep up your good work with bf'ing and talking about it - that is important. (and this is coming from a ff mom :) )posted 03/15/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I think you should do what's best for you. Think about what kind of situation you will be in if you breastfeed or not. Do what you think it best. I didn't really want to breastfeed so I got the milk pump that sucks the milk out my breast. that way i didn't have to hold the baby up to my chest and the daddy can get a chance to feed the baby.posted 03/15/2006 by SeritaGi
Sorry, anon. Anyway, I wasn't debating, I was just asking.posted 03/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Liza - all things aren't as black and white for some as they seem to be for you - although I took bf'ing classes and read about it (and was a bf'ed child as well) it was not for me when it came down to it. As this is not a debate board, I will not go in to it further - I just think that new moms should do whatever they are comfortable with when it comes to feeding - its' not like drinking or smoking which are of course major "no no's" during pregnancy - food choice, while one may be more desirable than the other, is not as dire a subject - we're not comparing breastmilk versus chicken fat or something silly like that. Good luck to all moms out there no matter what you do - just enjoy those first few months of having a little newborn - they FLY by!posted 03/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
for anon on 3/14: I wasn't putting down formula moms, I was just saying that I absolutely don't get how someone who knows about the many benefits of breastfeeding, as you say you do, would still choose not to. I just can't wrap my brain around it. I guess it is the equivalent for me as hearing about someone smoking heavily and getting drunk during pregnancy would be for you. And I am not implying that this is what formula moms do, I am just trying to get across how what my reaction is when I hear of people who choose formula. So you're right, I don't understand how a mom could bottle feed but I am perfectly willing to read why. Indeed, I am quite curious.posted 03/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I knew all about breastfeeding and still bottle fed because it led to me having a happier time with my newborn. It is already a stressful period, and if someone is not comfortable breastfeeding, it does not mean they are not doing what is in the mom and baby's best interest. Congrats to those who bf'ed and stuck with it - that's great - but I don't think moms who chose to formula feed while knowing benefits of breastfeeding should be downed for that. You probably don't understand how a mom could bottle feed because you haven't been in that position where you chose to do so.posted 03/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I, too, had a tough time breastfeeding in the beginning, but judging from my conversations w/ others and what I have read, most people do. It hurts at first, no matter what anyone tells you. And yes, there is thrush, mastitis, cracking, bleeding, all sorts of painful things that can happen. And of course later there is biting. ouch! but you get through these things and it is all worth it to give your baby the very best nutrition and nurturing possible. and i have to agree with you, christy, i don't understand how anyone who is armed with knowledge could possibly choose to bottle feed. i read something here (?) or somewhere that said formula should be available only by prescription. I kind of like the idea and the message that that sends. congratulations to christy and to me (yes, that's right, I did a good job and I am proud of myself!!) and all the other moms who struggled through breastfeeding problems; hopefully other new moms will get inspiration to do the same. there is an enormous feeling of pride and accomplishment to be had when you look at your healthy, happy breastfed baby.posted 03/13/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
good job, christy! congratulations!!!posted 03/13/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I can understand the heated debate about breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding, because after having a difficult time breastfeeding, I'm still committed to it! I just have a hard time understanding why anyone given the facts would choose to bottle feed--because it's proven that breastfeeding is far superior, and very few women have a valid excuse as to why they're not breastfeeding. My son is almost 8 weeks old. I've had blistered nipples and 2 cases of mastitis, but I'm still breastfeeding, because it's the best thing for him. I know it's difficult, but it's so rewarding and natural. Why feed your child cow's milk when you possess the ability to feed him his very own brand of human milk? I just don't understand why a mother would choose to use formula given adequate information. I am probably one of the most modest women on the planet, and I'm uncomfortable breastfeeding in public, but you figure it out, and why feel strange about doing something that nature intended anyway? If you weren't meant to breastfeed, your body wouldn't produce milk! We're mammals, remember?posted 03/11/2006 by newbfmom
I'm going to breastfeed my baby. I dunno. The thing is, what do you say to your kid when he wants to know why you didn't? You can't say ffing was just as good, 'cause you know it's not, so that would be a lie. I mean, this is his big start in life. Is your choice going to set a precedent? Like, "there is an okay school in the neighborhood, or I could work to try to get you into the really good magnet school. ah, too much work, the local public school will do." etc. I think if you start out the best way possible you will always have that to inspire you to continue to do the absolute best thing for your baby. It is all about your baby from now on. There is no longer any place for selfishness.posted 03/10/2006 by a BabyCenter Member

Grizzlies still figure to make a racket
By: Brett Ransford
Granite Bay is down three singles players, but Forlini twins will lead charge for a fourth section title in a row
By Brett Ransford Special to the Press Tribune Fuzzy green balls and hard-wired racquets meet again as Roseville-area high school girls tennis hits the pavement. League matches are around the corner, and the stakes are high for Woodcreek, Oakmont, Roseville and Granite Bay. Granite Bay is hopeful for a fourth consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section Division II championship. It will be coach Polly Hunter's fourth and last season at the helm. "It's never been about winning for me," Hunter said. "That has just been the byproduct of this team's talent. I'm not here to encourage girls to play their best and dig deep because in the end, there are more important things like character, sportsmanship and a unity out there as a team." Granite Bay's unity, however, lost three key players in Olivia Cornell and Karolina and Kammy Kecki, opting to pursue tournament play outside high school. Karolina Kecki won the last two Division II singles titles, beating Kammy Kecki in the final last year. But the Grizzlies have no shortage of talent. The Forlini twins, Chloe and Lily, return to attempt to defend their Division II doubles crown. Accompanying the twins are Erin Bell, Maddie Cornell, Stacey Wong and Amy Jahr in Hunter's top six. Roseville coach Donny Nush will try to stand in the way of Granite Bay's chance at winning the Sierra Foothill League crown. His Tigers were 7-13 last season, battling injuries. "This year, we are really excited to compete with the top teams," Nush said. "This year's team is fairly deep, and I would feel confident with shuffling and playing them anywhere." Freshmen Janet Rowe and Emma Carlson and senior transfer Alexandra Weir are Nush's prospective match changers. All-SFL first-team members Kristen Kirarski and Bianca Luna are standouts for Roseville. The Tigers return seven players, including their top four. Across town, first-year Woodcreek coach Christine Mabery has the task of taking the previous 0-12 Timberwolves forward. Mabery's No. 1 singles player is freshman Karolina Smith of Norway. "Smith has brought a new level of competitiveness to the team," Mabery said. "It was a tough conference last year, it will be tough this year, and it will probably be tough next year. Brutal is the word my team uses. But, there is only one way to go, and that's up." Mabery is confident Shalyse Bradford and Amanda Vertido will be surprise singles competition for their SFL competitors. Woodcreek returns 10 players, mostly juniors. Oakmont went 4-8 in the SFL a year ago despite the talent of Kayla Powers and Jennifer Gong. USTA tournament player Megan Sullivan is an up-and-comer for the Vikings, who are coached by Kevin Chorjel and now enter the Capital Valley Conference.

Montana GOP lawmaker seeks to repeal anti-gay law
Timothy Kincaid
September 20th, 2010
Back in June we, along with many others, noted that the platform of the Montana Republican Party included this position:
We support the clear will of the people of Montana expressed by legislation to keep homosexual acts illegal.
As it turns out, this was a position that had sat in their platform since 1997 and no one really noticed that it was there. But the attention proved to be embarrassing to some in the party. (AP)
"I looked at that and said, 'You've got to be kidding me,'" state Sen. John Brueggeman, R-Polson, said last week. "Should it get taken out? Absolutely. Does anybody think we should be arresting homosexual people? If you take that stand, you really probably shouldn't be in the Republican Party."
Revising the Party platform requires a process involving committees and conventions and cannot happen over night. However, this has prompted Brueggeman to take action where he can. He is going after the defunct sodomy law that, though unenforceable, still sits on the Montana law books. (Bozeman Daily Chronicle)
State Sen. John Brueggeman says he is requesting a draft of a bill to strike down the law. The bill would be considered by the 2011 Legislature, which convenes in January.
The Polson Republican has criticized the GOP platform statement. He now says Montana shouldn't have such a discriminatory law, even if it can't be enforced.
I guess a little embarrassment can be a motivator.

Netminder was one of 10 Olympic rookies who made massive contribution to Mike Babcock's team.
In Sochi, Canada never trailed, and there was not one second it looked like it was in danger of losing.
Here are our 25 medal winners
This group is unlike any other before it, but it's working brilliantly
Will Canada burst their non-scoring bubble in the final vs Sweden? We'll see…
Sometimes it's about everything other than the scoring
Coach Mike Babcock was fired up not to have to make any changes.
Team Canada won 2-1 in the quarter-final round victory over Latvia to advance to the semis
Canada had plenty of thunder against Latvia, out-chancing the Baltic nation 30 to 10
Babcock won't announce his scratches until Wednesday.
Team Canada doesn't just have one or two defencemen on its squad, it's got at least five of them.
With the right people on the ice, Canada should be unbeatable. Right now, neither half of that statement is true.

The latest issue of the American Bar Association's "Human Rights" magazine is dedicated to HIV/AIDS and the rule of law. In the issue, the editors "hope to shine a light on the human rights issues at home and around the globe that continue to fuel this epidemic," according to the magazine. The issue includes articles on the need for more "focused attention to human rights" to achieve universal access, sex trafficking and HIV/AIDS, a "deadly junction for women and girls," the role of faith-based organizations and how "culture, history and laws can combine to deny women and girls equal access to HIV prevention and care" (Spring 2010).

Next: The Great Recoupling
The chart below from UBS' George Magnus captures perhaps better than anything, not only the reason why the global economy grew with the speed it did over the past 40 years, not only why "globalization" (a/k/a finding news places to issue debt in exchange for secured assets and unsecured cash flows all the while under the umbrella of globalist organizations: see Confessions of an Economic Hit Man) was the primary urgency for the status quo, not only why the developed world managed to delay the inevitable day of reckoning for as long as it did, but most importantly, why the global day of debt-saturated reckoning is coming.
Because after decades of letting the developing world (a place which Goldman was nice enough to even give it its own special name successfully with the BRICs, and not so successfully with the N-11) carry the heavy burden of new debt creation, which by now should be clear to all is the only driver for global "growth", said developing world is now full to the brim with debt, and can do no more (the question of whether Africa as the last bastion of secured and unsecured leverage and can carry the weight of all other insolvent continents on its shoulders remains to be answered).
It also means that first slowly, then very fast, the "Asian economies" will rapidly recouple with the "advanced" ones, but instead of meet in the middle, the orange will chase the yellow one all the way down, down, down.
There are two possibilities as to what happens then, one of which is good, the other not so good. Both are the topic of the latest analysis by UBS' George Magnus titled "Asia: is the miracle over?" which is a must read for anyone who wishes to know what happens next in Asia, and thus, in the world.
Magnus' conclusion:
One way or another, China is going to rebalance. The question is whether it occurs in an orderly fashion with the investment side of the economy slowing to a rate less than the growth in GDP, but still growing. Or whether it happens in the context of a sharp decline in investment, with more alarming economic and political consequences that will cut across the economy.
After two decades of unparalleled economic success, we believe China now needs a reform programme on a scale similar to that adopted 30 years ago. Without it, a heavily investment-centric and credit-intensive economic model could soon become unstable, and later stall in a middle income trap. There's only so much labour transfer from rural areas to urban factories. There's a limit to how high the investment share of GDP can go. Rapid population ageing is chipping away at Chinese growth. The exceptional impact of accession to the WTO a decade ago is fading. And the significant, direct role of the government, state banks and SOEs in the economy as agents of economic policy, and owners and providers of heavy investment and infrastructure may no longer be appropriate as the economy becomes richer, more complex, and in need of greater competition and innovation.
In our view, the bottom line about reform is whether the CPC is willing and able to do three fundamental things. First, we feel it should move towards a fuller market economy, changing the legacy role of the state. Second, it should allow power to drain from itself, regional governments, state entities and the military towards the private sector and households. And third, it should introduce rules and transparency, including adoption of the rule of law, into the overall system of governance.
You can be optimistic or pessimistic about the outcomes, but you can't speak of the China or, by implication Asia, miracle nowadays, without considering the chances of successful political and institutional reforms. More to the point, perhaps, what would the consequences be for China if, for existential reasons, the CPC wasn't willing or able to go down this path?

God, I can't remember her last name. Scales and improvised Cello played by Amy (?). Recorded in my small bedroom, not the best acoustics in there. Some clip reduction has been applied in Cool Edit as I wasn't paying close enough attention to the levels, but luckily it wasn't too severe. No other processing or eq added. Will probably need a touch of brightening and lower frequency attenuation, you decide. Recorded on a Zoom H2.
very nice!
this is cool, may chop it up, but deffo gonna use it
Of course I don't mind John.
Mind if I use this in my DayZ Video?
Of course! How could I forget, she did seem a bit "strung-out".

CRC found 305 "safe to remove" problems with my registry. Cleaning them left my HP all-in-one nonfunctional. Fortunately, the CRC backup restore function returned things to normal. Rerunning CRC and un-checking all HP entries then running the cleaner seemed to speed up my computer a bit. I think to be a great registry cleaner CRC needs to concentrate more on safety and less on number of errors found.
Thanks for the feedback KoRn. There are many confusions out there thinking that removing one or two registry will speed up the computer. The issue is not one or two registry entries but one or two "problem" registry entries that could be causing the system behave less than optimum. By eliminating these bottlenecks you elimate the delays you are facing hence notice the speed up. There are so many applications out there who leave things behind that causes your PC to behave in a non-optimum way and Registry cleaning is one of getting rid off that.We do have a file cleaner coming very soon too! This will clean up all your temp files etc etc to keep your computer in top shape! Its important for us to help you have a "healthy", "efficient", "secure" and "TRUSTED" computing session!Melih
I too would like to see a comparison of CRC and TuneUp 2008.Any 'fair' comparison must include as many out there as possible that are currently being used.(sorry, I use TuneUp 2008 as my registry cleaner).
There is a very big difference between tune up utilities 2008 and CRC! when I scanned my system tune up 2008 only found 10 problems.... But when I scanned with CRC it found... do not be shocked.... it found... ok I tell you... it found more than 1000 invalid registry entries! This just blew my mind in an instance and I do not understand the huge difference... I am afraid to let CRC delete all those entries.... there is not much info about the entries and I do not want to damage my windows installation....

Extremelely late Preakness results
The Woodlawn Vase may be leaving the state, but one trophy is staying home.
The Undisputed Preakness Pony Pig Out National Eating Champ was Jay "Gormonster" Gorman of Baltimore, whom Baltimore Sun readers met in John-John Williams' March article about a sushi-eating competition at Ra.
Here are the results of Saturday's Great Preakness Pony Pig Out National Eating Championship. Competitors had to consume 3 pounds of horse themed foods (e.g., carrots, oatmeal, apples) in dessert form - 1.75 lbs. of carrot cake, 1 pound of oatmeal creamed cookies (12 total) and .425 lbs. of of apple turnover. Gorman ate all that in 4 minutes and 15 seconds.
The purse: 250 simoleans.
Here's the full coverage on the website of All Pro Eating Promotions, which sanctioned the competition.

Pink is an interpretive dancer in "Try."
It's no secret Pink has been majorly on her grind these past few weeks. Her new disc, The Truth About Love, is her first No. 1 album, beating out other chart-topping heavy hitters like Kanye West and The Killers. In the midst of all that, she's managed to release a video for "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," plus the Eminem-assisted "Here Comes The Weekend," her no BS-jam "Slut Like You," and cheeky Lily Allen collabo "True Love." AND she's found the time to duet onstage with Gwen Stefani. NOW after all that, Pink's unleashed her latest video for "Try." Did we mention she was still A MOM while all of this happened? Ridiculous, we know.
Watch Pink's "Try" video after the jump.
Directed by Floria Sigismondi and choreographed by The Golden Boyz, "Try" is really less a typical music video and more a modern dance routine, but if anyone can pull that off, you know it's Pink. At the top of the clip, we find Pink and a hunky shirtless dancer guy engaging in some rather passionate interpretive dance. The routine looks chaotic, angry, and at times violent, and most important, the passion between Pink and her man is absurdly palpable. In fact, things get so heated toward the end that the pair bust out of the house and wind up in the middle of an empty desert covered in colored paint (no clue why, but nice touch!). And then they start throwing chairs at one another, as one does. Well, we don't wanna ruin the ending for you, but suffice it to say that the interpretive "argument" between Pink and her dude definitely calls for some exciting makeup, uhhh, "fun." You know what we mean.

Belkin N1 Wireless Router, Desktop, Notebook, and USB Cards
Reviewed by: skinny
Reviewed on: July 8, 2007
Price: TBA
When I was asked to review the full slate of N1 MIMO products from Belkin, I was excited. First, because my wireless setup was admittedly getting a little old, but second, because I had heard good things about Belkin, and felt that this would be a major upgrade for my system in a number of areas. This review had me happy with some features to begin with, but as I went on, I was reminded of something my parents said to me when I was a kid and had failed a test: "We aren't mad at you, but we sure are disappointed." Boy, does that hurt.
Belkin, a California company founded in 1983, provides a wide variety of computer and electronic accessories and peripherals, including wired and wireless networking, USB hubs, surge protectors, and audio/video cables. The company claims to have experienced over 20 straight years of growth, with over $1 billion in sales.
Closer Look:
The Belkin N1 products come in very attractive, professional looking packaging. This packaging includes a picture of the product on the front, a quick install guide on the side (only three easy steps!), and right below this is their toll free, 24/7 Tech Support number. Remember this point; it will come in very handy later on. The back of the package offers an explanation of what this product can do for the user, including a claimed 300 mbps link rate.
Inside each box, you will find the product, the Quick Install Guide, installation software, and a user manual. The box for the router also includes the AC power supply, a Wireless Security Setup Guide, and a Network Status Display guide. The items in the router packaging are labeled with large letters, which will be covered in the installation section.
Installation of this product should be super easy. Step 1 of the router installation includes 5 sub-steps:
a) unplug your modem's power cord, put your router next to your modem, and raise the antennas on the router
b) unplug your network cable running from your modem to your computer, and plug the modem end into a grey port on the back of your router
c) open the package labeled "A" (yellow network cable), and plug it into the yellow port on the back of the router, and the other end to your modem
d) plug in the power to the modem, wait 60 seconds for the modem to start; plug in the power cord to the router, then to the wall
e) give the router 20 seconds to start up, then make sure the "wired" and "router" icons light up on the display in blue
This is where things got interesting. Step 2 says to insert the Setup CD into your computer, and to simply follow the onscreen directions. So, I put the CD in my computer, but every time I tried it, it froze. No installation took place. I undid everything, and tried again. And again. And again. After seven tries, I called the Tech Support number, and the technician ran me through several tests before deciding that the modem was defective, and that it would be replaced under warranty. The nice gentleman on the Tech line also advised me that the software on the setup CD does not work, and that the router would have to be manually setup anyway.
A short time later, my second router showed up. I followed the exact same instructions that came with this one, with the exact same results. Once again, after multiple installation attempts, I called Tech Support and went through the same steps as the previous call, plus a few more. We finally got the router working through a manual installation, not using the included CD. This gentleman also advised me that the included software does not work, and that as Tech Support, he did not know why the CD was included in the packaging, as the installation was not possible the way it is set up. Oh well, at least the router was now working. Once it is working, it displays several items on its face that show system status. There are icons for Internet connectivity, modem, router, radio waves (indicating wireless is enabled), wired (indicating that a hardwired system is connected), and wireless (indicating that a wireless system is connected). If these icons are flashing amber, they have issues. If they are solid blue (a very pretty blue, I might add), they are working properly.
Installation of the wireless notebook card worked well. Once again, the included Quick Setup instructions were followed, but this time they worked. Quite simply, install the CD, put the card into the proper slot on your laptop, use the "Found New Hardware" wizard, select an available wireless network, and you are done.
The USB card, which I installed on my desktop, installed cleanly as well. It uses the same instructions as the wireless notebook card, except you plug in the USB cable instead of the notebook card.
And now for the Wireless Desktop card. If my mood after dealing with the router was described as mildly frustrated, the wireless desktop card took me well beyond aggravated. Again, the quick installation guide makes installation look quite simple, with only four main steps. First, install the CD and run the installer. When the installer is done, there is a button marked "finish" that you click to shut down your computer. It did not shut down my computer. Minor issue, I simply shut it down manually. The next step is to install the card into your computer. Remove your side cover, and firmly press the card into an available PCI slot. Either screw the card into place, or lock it in with whatever tool-less retention system your case uses, and replace the side cover. Then, look at the back of your computer, and attach the antenna cable to the back of the card by pressing it into place. Next, place the antenna in an unobstructed location, such as on a shelf. When I did this, I heard a clunking sound from the back of my computer, and looked to see that the antenna had come unplugged. I plugged it in again, and again it fell off. I had to leave the antenna sitting much lower, as the plug would not firmly attach to the card.
The next step in installation is to run the "Found New Hardware" program again. So, I turned on the computer, allowed Windows to boot up, and promptly received a "Fatal Error" blue screen. I restarted, and got through the Hardware Wizard before the next blue screen appeared. I uninstalled, reinstalled, and got the same screen. I tried again (slow learner, I guess), and got the same result. I uninstalled and did an internet search for this issue. Belkin had no reference to a problem like this on their site, and I found a few other consumer reviews reporting similar issues. So, for the third time on this review, I called the Tech line.
One thing I must say is that Belkin's Tech Support line is pretty good. For some reason, I get the feeling that they get a lot more calls than they really should, so they have lots of experience. Again, I was told to avoid using the setup CD that was included with the product. The card and antenna were installed, and the Windows hardware installer was used, without installing a single Belkin program. I was then able to connect to the network.
Typically, the next step in this installation process would be to go in and setup the included Wireless Network Security features that Belkin includes with these products. However, as the router and wireless desktop card were not set up with Belkin programming, I did not have access to these features. After being told by Belkin Tech Support to not use the included programming, they should maybe stop advertising these features being available, since they can not be accessed.
By this point, I was thinking I was finally done with installation issues. I soon realized I had set myself up for more disappointment.

Testing Setup:
Desktop -
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
- MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
- 2 GB Kingston DDR1 3200
- NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
- Zalman ZM460 APS
- Plextor DVDR PX716A
- Windows XP SP2
Laptop -
- Dell Inspiron 1100
- Intel Pentium 4 2.2 GHz
- 512 MB, 266 MHz RAM
- Windows XP SP2
Testing was fun (/sarcasm off). In attempting to test the Desktop card, I found that I lost my network signal on average once every hour of active use, and if I left the computer for more than a few hours, the signal was always lost by the time I came back. Once the signal was lost, no matter what I did, I could not get the signal to work without restarting the entire system. Speed tests were useless, as the signal was intermittent, and changed strength constantly. It did not matter if I had the antenna 3 feet or 20 feet from the router, I had the same issues. Also, the antenna was constantly coming unplugged, to the point that I was ready to duct-tape it in place. The cord for the antenna is only about three feet long, so if your computer is placed on the floor like mine usually is, you will find it to be impossible to place the antenna "in a high, unobstructed location", as stated in the installation instructions.
Both the Notebook and USB cards performed well, with minimal connectivity issues at first. Speed tests showed a slight improvement over my old notebook card (a five year old Dell Truemobile 1150 PC Card), but nothing earth-shattering.
I did not have a feasible way to test the range on the desktop card, but by the time I got to this stage of testing, I was so frustrated with the issues with it, that it had already been uninstalled. I went to test the range on the Notebook card, and found that I had lost the signal. Every fix I had tried before, failed to fix it this time. I attempted to uninstall and reinstall the card, and found that even though the Belkin programming said that it had completed its uninstall, everything was still there. Repeated attempts to fix, remove, and even change to my old card, have had zero success. Short of formatting the hard drive, I am running out of ideas. I sense another call to Tech Support coming up.
To quote my parents again, "This is going to hurt me, more than it hurts you." Belkin, claiming to be a leader in this area, should be deeply ashamed of themselves. To continue to ship not just one product, but an entire product line, with installation instructions telling people to use software that their own Tech Support people say does not work, is just wrong.
While the products appear to be well built, there are some pretty significant issues. The antenna for the Desktop card will not stay attached, no matter what I did to it. The USB card, while appearing to be quite solid, is also very large and bulky. If used without the stand, you better make sure that nothing catches on it, as it sticks well out from the computer (farther than any other peripheral I have used before). The cable attached to the stand is about six feet long, allowing it to be placed on a desk, but the design of it does not strike me as being the most space-efficient. As my desk tends to be quite cluttered at the best of times, I need space saving devices as often as possible. I had no issues with the build of the notebook card.
As stated, I can not comment on the security aspect of these products, as it is part of their included software that does not work. I can not really comment on the speed of these products, as the connections were so intermittent that I could not do a proper test. And, as I hope I made clear earlier on, installation of these products was an absolute nightmare. If you are a computer and small network expert, have fun. If you like to press the "on" button and have everything work perfectly, this is certainly not the product for you.
I was always taught to say nice things about people, or say nothing at all. So, I did manage to find some positives with these products. First of all, the packaging and product appearance is quite professional looking (I especially liked the fancy blue lights on the router). Second, Belkin's tech support is good.
In conclusion, unless Belkin issues a public apology to the computer world for the fiasco with this software, the only way I can recommend that anyone buys these products, is if they really like to look at pretty objects, or if they are lonely and just want to talk to someone. Belkin Tech Support will be awaiting your call.
- Good Tech Support
- Professional looking product and packaging
- Nice blue lights
- Non-functioning software
- Installation requires Tech Support call
- Desktop card antenna will not stay connected, has too short of a cable
- Security will not work properly without using the software, which does not work

Barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii)
|Also known as:
|swamp deer
|Cervus duvaucelii
|Barasinga, Cerf De Duvaucel
|Ciervo De Duvaucel
|Rucervus (1)
|Body length: 180 cm (2)
Shoulder height: 119 - 124 cm (2)
|170 - 289 kg (2)
Classified as Vulnerable (VU C1) on the IUCN Red List 2002 (1), and listed on Appendix I of CITES (3). Subspecies: Wetland barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii duvaucelii) classified as Vulnerable (VU C1); upland barasingha (R. d. branderi) classified as Endangered (EN D); R. d. ranjitsinhi classified as Critically Endangered (CR C2b) (1).
These medium-sized deer have particularly large antlers on the males which may grow up to one metre in length. They have a concentration of six to eight points near to the tips (2). Barasingha have a predominantly brown coat with yellowish undersides; males (stags) develop a reddish tinge in summer and juveniles (fawns) are mottled with white (5).
Previously found throughout the drainage basins of the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers, the barasingha is today restricted to southern Nepal and northern India. Three subspecies are recognised: the wetland barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii duvaucelii) in India and Nepal, the upland barasingha (R. d. branderi) restricted to a single population in Madhya Pardesh, India; and R. d. ranjitsinhi found in only a single population in Assam, northeast India (4).
Primarily found in the tall grasslands and reed beds of large river floodplains, the barasingha is also associated with wooded areas, from dry deciduous forest to mangroves (4).
During the breeding season which runs from September to April, barasingha are found in large mixed herds within which the males fiercely compete for harems of around 30 females; a loud 'roaring' call is often heard during this time, as well as a 'hee-haw' roar; (2). Females come into oestrus once a year (2) - they give birth to their usually single young between August and September (4). Fawns become independent at around 6-8 months of age and the life span of the barasingha is thought not to exceed 20 years (2).
These deer graze mainly on grasses although the wetland barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii duvaucelii) feeds commonly on aquatic plants (4), which it may obtain by completely submerging its head in the water (5).
The global population of the barasingha has undergone a dramatic decline principally as a result of habitat loss. The fertile floodplains in much of their range have been rapidly developed and drained for agriculture and industrial development. These deer are also seen as a threat to crops and may be persecuted as a result (4).
The barasingha persists in a number of National Parks, including Dudhwa in northern India, Mana Kaziranga in northeastern India and Kanha and Idnravati in central India (5). The species is listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which bans international trade in this species (3). It is also protected under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 (6).
Authenticated (04/04/05) by Peter Grubb, Natural History Museum, London.
- Deciduous: of a plant that sheds its leaves at the end of the growing season.
- Oestrus: the time of ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary) in female mammals, when the female becomes receptive to males, also known as 'heat'.
- Subspecies: a population usually restricted to a geographical area that differs from other populations of the same species, but not to the extent of being classified as a separate species.

Taking part in A Great Bet On Soccer: Assistance And Techniques
For awhile you have played soccer and continued to learn more of the games tricks and techniques. Now, its time to keep learning, and this article is here to help. Continue reading, and follow the advice that is before you so that you can step up your game in the future. As you have seen, soccer can be an extremely fun sport for everyone. If you are getting tired of playing the same sports, consider trying out soccer. Use the high-quality soccer advice provided in the above article so you will learn how to better play this sport and have fun while doing it. The lofted pass vaults the ball into the air, either to a teammate or an open space in the field. This gets the ball to a desired spot much faster in key situations. Do not confuse this with what is considered the driven pass. The lofted pass is for shorter distances, while the lofted pass is generally for about 40-50 yards.
Learn how to sprint. Sprinting is used when you are standing still and then begin running as fast as you can. To practice this technique, stand still for 15 seconds, then begin running as fast as you can for 15 seconds. Repeat the process for 30 minutes to help increase your sprinting takeoffs. Run three miles every day if you want to keep your cardiovascular system in check. Your cardiovascular fitness is extremely important in a game like soccer that demands constant running. By getting a three mile run in each day, youll have a lot more stamina and endurance. To stop yourself from becoming bored with your routine, you should run in several locations.
One way to improve your soccer skills is to attend a soccer camp. At this camp, you will learn basic passing techniques as well as more advanced techniques such as driving the ball down field using fast juggling techniques combined with sideways dribbling techniques. Additionally, you will learn how to improve your shooting. It is important to practice if you want to be really good at soccer. This does not just mean practicing with the team, but on your own at home as well. Kicking the soccer ball around your yard can really help to improve your game on the field during games. When passing the ball make sure that your heel is down and your toes are pointed upward. This allows you to use your foot like a putter. By practicing this technique often, it will soon come naturally when it is time to pass the ball to a teammate during an actual game.
If you want to be an excellent soccer player, you know there is a lot to learn. This article is filled with information that will help you better your game. Keep reading to learn how you can develop into the best player on the team. Communication is integral to the sport of soccer. You must communicate with your teammates to let them know when you want the ball. Tell your teammates what is happening on the field. A player who is trying to control the ball may not see a player from the other team coming up from behind. Make some firm passes if you want to get a reaction from other players. Firm passes are easier to control and let other players know that it is time to take action. A soft pass is a good way to draw a player into the game but is too risky if you are under pressure. Even though soccer equipment is very expensive, you need it in order to be completely safe while you play. If you buy sub-par equipment, or if you fail to buy something that you need, you may get injured. Hospital bills will cost a lot more than the cost of decent equipment.
It is against the rules to use any part of your hands or arms, from shoulder to fingertips, to control a soccer ball that is in play. You can use your feet, knees, thighs, stomach, chest and head. Be careful though. A head shot can hurt and you cannot control the ball well with your knees. You always want to keep the other team guessing what you are going to do next. Try passing to the left while dribbling to the right. The person defending you will probably not expect this; as a result, you can evade him and quickly find an open route. This may take your teammates by surprise, but it is a great tactic. Make sure that the only time you dribble is when there is a clear reason for you to do so. You should do it to prepare for a shot, make room to pass or try to get in a cross. You should not dribble just for the sake of doing it. While confidence is important, being overconfident is bad and will hurt your game. Being a great player does not prevent the unexpected from happening. When you have the mindset that youre the best, the smallest surprise can turn into a big problem. Extra sources on this subject Bet365.

Atlanta Fed Museum Makes News
Atlanta Fed Museum Makes News
Atlanta Fed's Monetary Museum Makes News
Fox 5's "Good Day Atlanta" recently featured the Atlanta Fed's money museum. The local station aired two segments highlighting the museum's exhibits and attractive pricing (it's free). Exhibits include historical artifacts and rare coins, interactive games, and a cash overlook that gives visitors a unique opportunity "to see the Fed at work," said feature reporter Paul Milliken.
The museum's television cameo comes just weeks after earning kudos from a popular travel website. TripAdvisor awarded the museum its Certificate of Excellence, which recognizes the top-performing 10 percent of businesses listed on the travel site. Since 2010, the museum has hosted more than 60,000 visitors.
Visit myfoxatlanta.com to watch both segments, or click here to take a look at the Atlanta Fed's monetary museum.
