What is a futon?
Futon mattresses have developed from 'traditional' to 'western' styles and traditionally came from Japan. It would be laid on the floor as a thin mattress and then in the morning it would be rolled up and placed in a cupboard or closet. Consisting of a combination of cotton, wool and man-made materials the traditional mattress would be taken outside on a regular basis to be beaten with a stick, aired, and dried to stop any deterioration of the mattress.
The Monk is the closest to a traditional Japanese futon made with two layers of felt. This can easily be rolled up and stored for occasional use only. Our children's futon is also roll-able, easily stored and are ideal for sleepovers or a guest bed.
In Japan the futon is quite thin but the western version began to have extra layers of filling to give additional comfort. Unlike the Japanese futon that was rolled up each morning and stored, the larger futon was too thick to be rolled up and stowed away so easily. The futon sofa bed was developed to give extra comfort and functionality which was more suited to the western lifestyle, it could now be used as a sofa during the day and a bed at night.
Futon Mattresses
Originally mattresses were sold by layers, for example, you could have a 4, or up to 9 layer mat, but there were no regulations and each manufacturer decided on the thickness of each layer and the materials used. This caused confusion to the customer and made it difficult to compare. So, don't be misled by retailers describing their products by the number of layers. Make your choice based upon your support & firmness requirements.
We don't talk about the number of layers, instead we focus on the quality and type of the fillings; we only use the high quality fillings designed to meet the support needs of our customers. But do be aware – at the cheap end of the market what looks like a futon mattress can be made of crumb foam and this can't be compared with a futon! It offers very little comfort or support and will not last or give value for money.
Other types of sofa bed
We also supply a unique futon designed for use with the Selwyn or Pangkor futon. It has Velcro straps to hold the futon in place on the frame and can be upgraded with a reflex-foam core, if the frame is to be used as an every day bed.
In addition our stylish Studio futon mattress is made in two separate parts which enables any two seater frame to have the comfort of a bi-fold mattress. It means that the frame can sit right against the wall, without the mattress going over the back, giving it more of a sofa look. The additional cushion (which makes up a 4'6″ double bed mattress) can be stored separately if required.
Tri-fold mattresses
Tri-fold or standard mattresses were developed to sit in the 'S' shape required for an 'A' frame (such as the Cambridge or Darwin) or a two seater frame (such as the Cavendish or Akino 2 seater). The premium standard tri-fold can be upgraded with cotton rich (white) filling which makes it more breathable, or to the flexi pocket tri-fold for ultimate bed comfort.
Bi-fold mattresses
The bi-fold or twin-loft mattress is the right shape for any three seater frame (like the Akino or Cavendish) or can be used on a slated bed frame. Whilst this is an exceptionally comfortable mattress it too can be upgraded depending on your support requirements to the cotton rich (white) filling.
Cottonsafe and Pure Choice Bed Mattress
We are also delighted to be able to offer traditional bed mattresses which are fire retardant yet chemical free. These use organic cotton and our unique Cottonsafe or Pure Choice fabrics to provide a luxurious 1000 pocket sprung bed mattress.
Luxury specialist mattress
As many of our customers have specific support requirements, just like when you buy a 'normal' bed mattress, our suppliers Cambridge Futons are the only futon retailer able to offer a huge range of specialist mattresses. Whether you are looking for a softer feel (Pocket Sprung) futon or a firmer feel (Cocoloc, or TradLux) we are sure we can find your perfect futon mattress.
Metal Frames
We only use the best steel in our metal futon sofa beds. Our metal frames also have sprung slates for extra support and comfort.
Wooden Frames
We use Pine, Oak and hardwoods to make our wooden futon frames. We know that high quality frames are made with strong under-rails and wood without finger-jointing. Sprung slats also add to making a really comfortable sofa and bed.
Slumber Support
Futons First is the retailer of the medical cushion called Slumber Support. We offer the standard and deluxe cushions to help people wishing to safely sleep on their side after having hip replacement surgery.
Delivery and Customer Service
As we are based in the manufacturing factory, we can provide a speedy service, second to none. We have up-to-date knowledge of frame and fabric availability. Our customer service team are happy to help you through the ordering process, give advice and guidance based upon years of working in the industry.

Rock Climbing Photos : Comments
Comments by roughster (337)
Not a bad shot. Could use a little more seperation from the lip of the rock. Also, this is a very " over done" pose.
I would've changed focus from the hand to the face to highlight the biggest point of interest about the picture which would be why the hell is that dude smoking a fag while bouldering?
12b, LIES!!!! Hehe, maybe next time out there I'll have Jack show me his beta. The way I finally figured out felt solid 12c. I was told as well by the climbers pulling their rope before me last time, that they had broke off pieces of 2 holds at the lip. I am curious as to when this shot was taken (just for my own perspective)? Oh well, like they say, "Maybe I don't know JACK!" ;)
Yep thats Rubidoux. Man if you fell from there you would have gotten MAJOR FUBAR. Where I am at is only a 2 foot ledge before the 2nd fall over the wall onto the road. Effectively at that point if your that far around the tower you would fall an additional 6-7 feet from the bottom of the picture ~25-30 feet.
Just saw the responses. I recognized when I bouldered out this route that most likely someone else would come back through the area and see the line and think...ohhh cool route potential. I bouldered it out not because I am into soloing or super highballing, but rather I started working the problem from the ground up and cleaning as I went as a result of being out there by myself. After I started getting high enough into the "don't fall" zone, I recruited a few spotters. It became a personal challenge to me to send it and I worked it till I got it.
Would I say that "bouldering" it out is the way that everyone should do it? Probably not. There isn't places for pro, I elected to not push the information out to the local climbing community, so I very well knew the risk that it could and in this case, most likely would be retrobolted.
I think adding bolts to a route that is knowingly established is wrong, period, however the person who came and bolted this line probably had no clue that I had previously sent it. At this point removing the bolts would really not accomplish anything. It would scar the rock to some extent, waste the time, $$, and effort the bolter put into creating a route that with bolts people can do, but without most people would not even bother looking at.
There is a fine line between high balling and short sport routes. That distinction will vary from person to person as well as even vary for a single person looking at different lines. I have bolted routes this short before, but for some reason I decided to go for broke on this line bouldering.
I don't think any case of bolting/retrobolting can be applied to a "universal rule". In this case, I would say that leaving the bolts in probably the better thing to do. Even if I chose, I could come back and reboulder the routes without roping up.
Actually the local contingent of climbers (includin more...
Looking at the pic I wouldn't necessarily assume it was climbers. The nest on the right is still intact. I was floating a river today and noticed a bunch of nests, with about every other nest "blown up" just like in this pic. The nest were under a bridge about 60 feet up, so I doubt it had anything to do with climbers either. I think that the some nests get weak over time and eventually fall apart.
I think Darwin called it "Natural Selection" Birds that don't build them right the 1st time get to do it again or not reproduce.
When I approved this photo, I thought, "I wonder how long it will be before someone says something about pro and the crack?" LOL that didn't last very long.

People need to realize, not all cracks will take gear. Some of them are just offset walls/overlaps or corners that lead to solid seams with no entry, well of course unless you bash a knifeblade in and out, in and out, a hundred times. But who would do such a thing??? Certainly not a trad climber who is "ethical" :) *Cough* Serenity Crack *Cough*

Couple of comments:

#1- Is the paint there to camo chipping or to camo glue? Two different beasts. My $$ is that is there to camo the glue, which on some rock is the only way to get good routes up so they don;t get busted up, i.e. reinforce it with glue. What is worse, a small brown streak of paint, a white strip of glue, or a huge White/Orange scar where the entire flake busted off? The last is the most visually impacting.

#2- Is that pocket chipped for sure? I have never touched it in RL so I couldn't say for sure, however, I have climbed in the area and know that natural pockets like this do exist.

#3- Nothing wrong with camo'd bolts, in fact that deserves kudos not slamming.

#4- Have an agenda Mike or you just "looking out" for the local climbing community? Umm yeah....
OK more comments since I just got home:

#1: Definitely go black between the pics. I just photoshopped your pic to a black border and it made a huge difference

#2: Don't have the object of main focus (in this case the Pink Flower mostly) so close to the bottom of th picture. I think this is what makes this pic hard to keep in focus when in "cross-eyed" mode.

Hope that helps!
No, I know exactly where you are at. The line to the left is called Made in the Shade and is V3. The line you are on is Urbanator, if you traverse right you end up on Saddle Sore V4 which is a sit start scooted all the way in under the center scoop. If you traverse above the lip with your hands, it is no harder than V3 since the starting moves of Urbanator are the hardest, and the starting moves of Saddle Sore are the hardest and hence why each have the grade they do, but eh? As with any boulder, there is an infinite number of eliminates that can be done. What do I know though, I just scrubbed the moss and loose rock off of the face and made it climbable in the first place :P
I mentioned it on MP but in case you are wondering here: Sit start, straight up using all feel, including the rock to the left (like you are in the pic), is Urbanator V3. If you Sit Start straight up hanging shield of rock without any feet out left it is called MegaMonster V5/6 ish. It is basically some slapper campus moves to get off the ground and established on the overhanging shield.
Traversing right at any point into the scoopish section makes it much easier due to the large jugs.
Hehe no arguing just helping you figure out what you were on. It is definitely a hybrid of Urbanator and Saddle Sore though. Your left hand never goes to the "arete" as yours is in the picture when doing Saddle Sore. That is the exact start of Urbanator. Saddle Sore starts with two awkward horizontal crimps middle of the scoop and goes straight up from there to the arete above and the giant baseball hold.

The College of Idaho is set to formally dedicate West Hall: Center for Physician Assistant Studies, the newly renovated home of the C of I's joint PA master's program with Idaho State University.
College of Idaho President Marv Henberg will give his final State of the College address on Sept. 10, discussing the College's recent successes and exciting future as the Caldwell liberal arts college prepares to appoint a new president in 2015.
Henberg, who became the College's 12th president in 2009, will retire in June of next year. His final State of the College address will begin at 4 p.m. inside the Langroise Center for the Visual and Performing Arts on campus. The address is open to the media and the public.
After more than 20 years amusing audiences with their one-of-a-kind Greenshows, the Fool Squad is taking a break from the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. The Fools—Tom Willmorth and C of I theatre professor Joe Golden—recently were featured in an Idaho Statesman article by arts and entertainment reporter Dana Oland. Click here to read the article at www.idahostatesman.com.
The College of Idaho and Idaho State University launched a historic collaboration today, the first day of instruction for the schools' joint Master's in Physician Assistant Studies program. Twelve students inside newly renovated West Hall on the C of I campus in Caldwell joined 30 on Idaho State's Pocatello campus and 30 more on ISU's satellite Meridian campus in the program, which links the three classrooms through distance learning technology.
The College of Idaho's mathematics-computer science program is in its infancy, but that hasn't stopped its first two alumni—Greg Johnson and Dharmjeet Rattan—from thriving in the professional world.
The two 2014 graduates, who were beginning their senior year when the program was launched, both have found work in the Atlanta, Ga., offices of the human resource software company EPI-USE.
College of Idaho alumna Hailey Smith '08 had very little idea of what her future would when she arrived at the C of I.
"As I neared graduation from high school, I had an interest in archeology, probably stemming from books and movies that gave me a romanticized idea of what an archeologist is," Smith recalls. "Since the College didn't have an archeology program, I signed up for the closest thing: Cultural Anthropology 101."
The College of Idaho football team is set to hold its inaugural Purple and Gold Scrimmage on Monday, Aug. 25 – less than two weeks before the Coyotes return to competition after a 37-year hiatus. The scrimmage, which is free and open to the public, kicks off at 6 p.m. inside the newly renovated Simplot Stadium. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. and there will be a special pregame program beginning at 5:30 p.m.
The College of Idaho's Orma J. Smith Museum of Natural History is pleased to present Bug Day, the annual celebration of insects that is becoming one of the museum's signature events. Bug Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise. Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for children and IBG members.
When College of Idaho senior Courtney Indart began a Washington, D.C. internship last winter with Innovations in Civic Participation, her goal was to gain experience with international relations and professional development. What she didn't know was that her time in the nation's capital would lead to an opportunity to travel to Japan this summer for a civic engagement project she and her fellow ICP interns helped organize.
The College of Idaho has published its summer 2014 issue of 'Quest' magazine, which hits mailboxes this week. For the first time, the magazine is a special edition photo issue, full of pictures that tell current news stories and also reflect upon the College's 123-year history.

Artificial Cactus Wren Nests
You may have caught the news stories the past few weeks about the Irvine Ranch Conservancy's efforts to create artificial nest sites for threatened coastal California Cactus Wrens. This week I talked to David Olson who is leading the effort, and I've got links to the stories and some photos up on the Audubon Birdscapes blog.

Households to fund free LED lighting for supermarkets
UK's department of energy has announced a £20 million taxpayer cash for a trial scheme in which businesses will be offered to carry out energy efficiency improvements, such as replacing traditional light bulbs with LEDs or improving motors and pumps.
The trial scheme, with an ultimate goal to reduce the UK's power usage, will see firms compete for the funding in a reverse auction and bid for the entire cost of the work to be covered or partially subsidised, according to the Telegraph.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) said that the auction has already drawn the interest of more than 300 organisations, including "hospitals, airports and supermarket chains".
The plan aims to reduce the national electricity demand, lowering the risk of blackouts and the need for more power stations to be built.
If the trial proves to be a success, ministers will further the program through the billpayer-funded "capacity market".
The market, set to be launched later this year at an estimated cost of £13 per household per year, will pay power plants retainers to guarantee their availability and also pay businesses to temporarily reduce their usage at times of peak demand – for example by switching off fridges, or rescheduling energy-intensive works.
According to the DECC, the cash would be awarded "where projects would not have happened without the funding".

University of YorkYork, England, United Kingdom
- #132 Ranking
- 155 Masters
- 13500 Students
The University of York was founded in 1963 with 200 students. Since then, it has expanded to 13,000 students and has over 30 academic departments and research centres.
Academic excellence
At York you will be taught by staff who are at the forefront of developments in their subject area and who are committed to extending these developments to others through their teaching. You are likely to find yourself studying in one of the country's top-rated departments: our departments have some of the highest ratings for the quality of their teaching and in in the most recent RAE, carried out in 2008, the results placed the University among the ten leading institutions in the UK for research. Twelve departments were ranked in the top ten in the country with almost all departments in the top 20. More than 90 per cent of the University's academic staff had their work submitted for consideration, so the results accurately reflect the scale and quality of York´s research activity.
The Campus
The main campus at Heslington is a 200-acre landscaped park, well known for its lake and wildfowl. Here the colleges and academic buildings are on a level site within walking distance of each other. Proximity to the historic city of York makes the University a popular choice and provides a pleasant working and residential environment.
York combines the advantages of a university large enough to provide a vibrant social and cultural environment with those of a smaller community able to be welcoming and friendly to its students. The College system helps break the University into smaller units making it easy to meet people and make friends. Plus, the campus and nearby village of Heslington provide a welcoming community atmosphere complemented by the proximity and attractions of the City.
At York, we are proud to offer students:
Many organisations offer scholarships or grants. Some of these might help you to study for a Master at University of York!
Campus landmarks
Heslington Hall
Heslington Hall is a Grade II* listed building near Heslington village. It was constructed as country house in 1568 and was rebuilt in both the 19th and 20th centuries. The Hall's residents have included the Deramore baronry, the Royal Air Force and now the University of York.
Some original features of the house still remain, including the pendant stucco ceiling over the great hall, some of the courtyard face and the staircase towers at the rear. The gardens were first formally landscaped in the early 18th century, including the gazebo and yews that now comprise The Quiet Place.
The King's Manor
The King's Manor is a group of Grade I listed buildings in the heart of York and was originally a residence for the abbots of nearby St. Mary's Abbey. The site includes a variety of historic structures ranging from the 15th to the beginning of the 20th century, and has been used to host a seat for government, private residences and a school for the blind.
It is currently the home of the Centre for Medieval Studies, the Department of Archaeology and the Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies.
Central Hall
Central Hall is a tiered auditorium located at the heart Heslington campus overlooking the lake. It has a capacity of 1190 and is used for concerts, conferences, competitions, fashion shows, graduations and other events.
University library and archives
The University of York library and archives network consists of several libraries on the Heslington campus and in the local area. The JB Morrell library is the main library on campus as is located on University Road.
Heslington campus is home to eight colleges that accomodate resident students and academic departments. Each of the Colleges has its own distinctive identity, facilities and history.
The University campus is the home to many sculptures.
Shopping and food
Market Square
Market Square is located at the heart of Heslington Campus and provides shopping for all staff, students, and visitors.
Places to eat
Hungry? Grab a bite to eat from one of over a dozen restaurants, cafés and snack bars.
Wildlife on our campus
Our Heslington campus is located on over 200 acres of parkland centred around Europe's largest plastic-bottomed lake.
The University is is famous for its abundance of wildfowl, but also hosts a diverse range of other wildlife. A bird sanctuary has been established at the southern end of the lake.
The University's lake and wetlands make our campus a popular place for many species of wild and semi-wild wildfowl including ducks, geese, swans, grebes, moorhens, coots, and herons. The two ruddy shelducks were donated by the York Annual Fund in 2009.
Other animals
The campus is also home to other animals, including rabbits and squirrels. The University lake is stocked with fish; seasonal fishing is permitted with a license.
Life for all of our students is centred at Heslington on the edge of the historic city of York, where our colleges are set in an attractive landscaped campus. It is compact, easy to get around, and has a safe, friendly atmosphere.
The campus offers a wealth of facilities, with bars, shops, a sports centre, tennis and squash courts, a health centre, theatres and concert halls all within easy walking distance. It is well connected, criss-crossed with an excellent network of cycle paths.
There is a fast, frequent bus service to the city centre and our smaller central site, the beautiful medieval King's Manor.
The College system is a major part of the student experience at York. Students live in a College for their first year at York and remain part of the College community throughout their time here.
Each of the eight Colleges has its own distinctive identity, atmosphere, facilities and history.
The Colleges are a focus for our community, both past and present. They have always been an important part of the experience of York, as our alumni will testify.
Student societies
YUSU, the Students' Union, offers you the opportunity to get involved in a fantastic range of activities. Many of these will give you valuable experience for your career in today's competitive job market and for life, and you may simply never get the chance to do many of them again.
There are over 150 student societies, including award-winning newspapers, the country's first independent radio station, political parties, music and drama societies to cater for every taste, dance lessons, religious groups, film production, photography, our own TV station and even a medieval re-enactment society!
All these are entirely organised by and for students, so if nothing takes your fancy, you can always start your own.
Sports clubs
The Students' Union, under the banner of York Sport, has over 60 active sports clubs including well-known sports like football and cricket, as well as less common activities such as pole exercise, sub aqua and octopush. Archery, badminton, basketball, hockey, judo, karate, netball, table tennis, trampoline and volleyball are all supported by the University's facilities.
Whatever your level of commitment, you can get involved with competitive sports at York. Most clubs have regular matches against other universities as part of BUCS, British Universities and Colleges Sport.
Coaching facilities are available in most sports at a variety of levels.
The annual Roses Tournament against the University of Lancaster is the largest inter-university event in the country: more than 50 competitions are held over one weekend either at York or Lancaster, with the results totalled to establish an overall winner. With York just ahead in the history of the tournament, Roses is hugely competitive!
More than a third of students join York Sport every year - an unusually large proportion which results in a lively and varied sports scene. At a more local level, York's college system has allowed more informal inter-collegiate competitions to develop too. College competitions are organised in a variety of sports, around 19 in all, including athletics, badminton, darts, mini-rugby, hockey, swimming, table tennis and volleyball.
Music and drama
Making music for all
You do not have to be a Music student to enjoy music at York. Societies, student-run ensembles and the University itself provide countless opportunities to play, listen and perform, whatever your level of commitment. There are lunchtime and evening concerts virtually every week on campus, with dedicated performance venues including the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall and Central Hall. Membership of the Music Society allows access to practice rooms in Langwith College for non-Music students.
Instrumentalists and singers can audition for the University Orchestra (at which you may be offered chances to play with other ensembles), the Baroque Ensemble, the Jazz Orchestra and the Chamber Choir. There are also several less formal ensembles, mostly run by students and non-auditioning, including the Concert Orchestra, Concert Band and Gospel Choir.
The Students' Union has several active music societies, including a Gilbert and Sullivan Society, a rock gospel choir and the Central Hall Musical Society. Fusion, a large annual fashion, dance and music show in Central Hall, involves a broad range of individuals, societies and organisations in and around York and raises thousands of pounds for charity. Last but not least, the University Choir performs major choral works every term in venues such as York Minster, and is open to students without audition.
Whatever your musical taste, we guarantee there will be a group for you!
Food and drink on campus
All college accommodation has self-catering facilities. A catering service, open to residents and non-residents, is available in dining rooms and snack bars across the campus, allowing you to purchase meals throughout the day.
In addition, the University provides an inclusive catered accommodation package for a number of rooms in Derwent and Langwith Colleges. The package includes a choice of traditional and continental breakfasts and a wide variety of dinner choices to suit all tastes. This inclusive service is available each weekday during term time from a number of outlets across campus.
The University offers Meals in Advance Deals (MAD) scheme, which has proved hugely popular, providing students with the opportunity to purchase discounted meals in advance, on a term by term basis, giving an average saving of 12% per meal.
Student media
The University of York Students' Union has some of the oldest and most respected student media organisations in the country.
An impressive number of York graduates have gone on to successful careers in the media, including BBC foreign correspondents, newspaper editors, radio presenters - and Greg Dyke, former Director-General of the BBC and now Chancellor of the University of York.
University Radio York, which broadcasts across campus and around the world, was Britain's first independent radio station, student or otherwise. It was recently named Best Student Radio Station by the BBC and has won a number of Student Radio Awards.
York Student Television is the oldest university television station in the country. It broadcasts a range of programmes over a campus cable network and online to the world.
Student press
There are also two student newspapers, Nouse and Vision. Nouse began as a magazine, growing into a quality paper which places special emphasis on the arts, music and politics, while Vision is a more news-based tabloid. In recent years both have won a string of awards in the Guardian Student Media competition. The web-based Yorker is a recent addition to this lively and competitive media universe.
Together with the ISIC Association and British Council IELTS, StudyPortals offers you the chance to receive up to £10000 to expand your horizon and study abroad. We want to ultimately encourage you to study abroad in order to experience and explore new countries, cultures and languages.

Potty training
Proud mom to Lila and Ava 7/27/10
Comments (7)
My ODD said she wanted to wear panties when she just turned 2. It went about the way you described & we told her that if she couldn't tell us when she needed to go, she had to wear diapers. At that point, we just allowed her to use the potty when she wanted, but didn't press the issue (my twins were newborns & to tell you the truth, I didn't have the energy to deal with it). That was at the very end of August.
In December, she started showing interest again & we did a potty chart. She got a sticker every time she successfully used the potty. She got a prize after a set number of stickers in one month, & then we increased the number for the next month. By Valentine's Day, she was in underwear & only had a couple of accidents from then on.
If they can tell you they need to go before they go, then I say forge ahead. If not, they might not be ready. If that is the case, I would try out the potty chart & see if that helps. Good luck- I can't imagine how fun this will be when I have to do two!
My ODD wanted to wear panties around that age and we tried and it just was a lesson in frustration - she was not ready. She finally PT'd at exactly age 3.
My twins are B/G and girl twin PT'd at about 26 months and she MAYBE had 9 accidents in 5 days and then she was DONE with pee training. She never had a single poop accident. She did wait to poop at naptime when she had a diaper on for about 2 months after she was pee trained. But then that stopped and she was done.
I think if she pursue this for a few days without much success then they really aren't ready. In my opinion it should be that hard to PT. DS didn't PT til he was 3 and again it wasn't horrible and we didn't have a ton of accidents.

We've just been letting the boys take the lead. The potty is pretty much an out of sight out of mind thing for them. They've gotten in the habit of using the potty before brushing teeth at night, but that's about it. Actually, one little guy will actively use it, the other just sits there for a few minutes. I have a feeling it's going to be a slow process for us.
cards06 - we have one little potty and one seat for the big potty. It's turned into a matter of whoever gets to the bathroom first after the bedtime snack gets to use the big potty first. Both boys like to flush toilet paper whether they've peed or not. I wish I had gotten a seat with a little dome, though. The boys don't sit far enough back comfortably, so they end up peeing all over the front of the seat.
Mama to 33 weeker di/di identicals N and M (March 2010) and tiny termie T (September 2012) ... math geek ... married to a math geek.
When we got to potty training we did use the pull-ups so they could actually get it up and down themselves but I didn't have 6 pee puddles a day to clean up (honestly we had to quit those and go to undies at some point and we still had to deal with fustration of too kids peeing on the floor). Since they wanted to wear undies we let them wear undies over the pull-ups at first....that lost it's allure pretty quickly. I moved dd to just undies quicker because she was ready but ds was not as ready. He still wanted to try though so he wore pull-ups longer. We started at 2 years old and took the long route (this is something if I had to over again I'd do differently) so we wore a lot undies at home but pull-ups when we went out. If you are going to work on this in the summer and want to go to the park and stuff a lot you'll find pull-ups helpful.
I totally recommend having two spots in the same bathrrom for potty business. Our house is small so we used one toilet seat on the actual toilet and one potty chair placed near by. This way they both could sit and for awhile to keep them there I'd read to them or we'd sing or whatever. You know as soon as one of them is sitting there trying the other will suddenly have to go and won't be able to wait at first....two chairs a must!
Mommy to boy/girl twins born Jan 08!!
I pt my (single) son at a little over 2 1/2. He had at the most 3 accidents a day for the first few days and after that it was mostly asking if he needed go and him telling us yes or no. If they continue to have multiple accidents a day I would say they are not ready. It's just going to be more work on you and frustration all around. I plan on waiting until 2 1/2 (or older) to do my twins bc of how easy my son was!
Jesse & Michelle 6/9/07
Jacob 5/21/09, Leah & Alexis 5/29/11
Oh, I forgot...for months dd was pretty much going when she knew she needed to but ds had no idea ever (but wanted to be like sis) so I was the controller for him. He wore undies and I told him to go potty every morning, again after breakfast, again before lunch, before nap, after nap, before we went anywhere, before bath, ect. If I told him to go every 2 hours and limited the juice (juice really flew through them!) then there was less accidents. Fortunately, he was always willing to go when I told him to....dd dislikes being told when to go so this would not have worked so well with her for any extended period of time.

When the map is viewed it is clear that the most sensitive areas are largely inshore areas with multiple rivers draining to these and, often, with protected sites amongst the catchments.

Yet despite its importance, it has not been an industry that has traditionally had a high profile in the UK compared to other sectors such as financial services, media, fashion and going further back, manufacturing, writes KPMG Technology Sector head Trevor Aw in 'Tech Monitor UK'

Shakopee, out of nowhere, announces Vikings stadium bid
Zygi Wilf stays up late dreaming about building something like this in suburbia, but he never had Shakopee in mind.
Minnesota Vikings
Maybe the the mayor of Shakopee simply misread his calendar by a year.
That's because today -- one day before the Governor Dayton-imposed deadline for final stadium proposals -- Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke plans to hold a news conference at the State Capitol to announce the suburb is "going after the Vikings."
What does it mean? With little time on the clock, the Vikings stadium drive has a long way to go before reaching the end zone.
After working around the clock this weekend, Mayor Tabke has put together a proposal to build a Vikings stadium at was was supposed to be the ADC telecommunications headquarters near highways 169 and 101.
Shakopee Mayor Tabke with two of his staunchest supporters.
SavetheVikes.org founder Cory Merrifield told MPR that initial estimates put the cost of the project at just over $900 million, which would make it the cheaper than the options provided by Minneapolis or Ramsey County. Proceeds from casino games at nearby Canterbury Park would help fund the public share of the stadium. No tax revenue is involved, unlike the Ramsey County and Minneapolis proposals.
Strong public opposition to kicking in $350 in Ramsey County funds for a $1.1 billion football cathedral in Arden Hills seems to be stymying the Vikings quest to build there. In recent days, the prospect of building a new stadium on the Metrodome site has gained momentum, but yesterday the Vikings quashed that by wondering publicly whether TCF Bank stadium, where the Vikes would play for a few years while construction takes places at the Dome, is suitable for the NFL. In addition to the fact that TCF Bank has less seats than the Vikings do season ticket holders, the team believes bringing the stadium up to big-league standards would cost an additional $67 million, bringing the total project cost up to as much as $962 million.
So while the Shakopee mayor may be facing a fourth-and-long in his quest to bring the Vikes to the land of Ren Fest, it's not like St. Paul or Minneapolis only have an extra-point kick between them and a new stadium. We'll see whether Republican Rep. Michael Beard of Shakopee or Republican Senator Clair Robling of Jordan -- both of whom plan to join Mayor Tabke during today's news conference -- can catch Shakopee's Hail-Mary pass and haul it through the legislature and into the end zone.

Good , adding a Shire faction would be nice.
The Battle for Middle-earth II: Passion is a modification of The Battle for Middle-earth II: Passion for PC.
Good , adding a Shire faction would be nice.
I don't think I will be adding the Shire as a faction, just Hobbits aren't a war type people, what would their siege weapons be? hobbits on horses? hobbits spearmen? they don't really have that stuff, they had hobbit archers in rotk in the book though. Maybe you might see a Dale faction later on.
Here's some Hobbit Archers, right now they come out of the Archery Range but will be moved to a Hobbit-type structure.

The thread about where we found out got me to thinking about this... I found out I was pregnant early in the morning after dh and the kids were gone for the day. Dh is hard to get a hold of, so I called my mom. I just had to tell someone! And then I posted a thread here and then I decided I HAD to tell dh so I texted him to call me.
Who did you tell first?

One perk of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is getting to watch our favorite stars
be reduced to shrieking, shaking, wet dogs of human beings as they help to raise awareness and money to fight Lou Gehrig's Disease. So when we saw Britney and Miley's Ice Bucket videos, "one of these things is not like the others" danced through our heads.
The two pop stars took the challenge this week: Spears accepting after being nominated by her sister Jamie Lynn, and Miley taking up the mantle passed to her by her dad, Billy Ray.
Brit's video is a thing of beauty. After nominating Adam Sandler, her boyfriend David Lucado and business manager Robin Greenhill, the "Perfume" singer shrieks — before the water even hits her head — shuffling off-screen after the downpour as what sounds like an expletive bursts from her lips. We could watch this little vid all day.
Miley, however, dumped a bucket of rice over her head — along with brother Braison. Yes, "rice." With an "r." The whole thing looked kind of like an enjoyable spa treatment of sorts. Still, the caption of the photo highlighted the importance of the cause: "#makeshithappen #donate #itaintaboutthepourinitsaboutthepayinandawareness http://www.alsa.org/"
Which pop star's video do you prefer? Brit's ice — or Miley's rice?

My son just turned 4 on december 17. He has always been a good eater. He eats almost everything and prefers water, milk or juice over soda. Right after halloween he was diagnosed with asthma and bronchitis. He had had a constant cough but never had a problem eating,
Now for the past few weeks everytime he eats, no matter what it is, he gags and throws up. My mom said it's because he is shoveing too much in his mouth but I have watched him and he doesn't.
Has anyone been through this or know of something I can do to change it?

Merck Statement On FDA Advisory Committee For Vorapaxar, Merck's Investigational Antiplatelet Medicine
MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today said it was pleased with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee's recommendation for approval of vorapaxar. Vorapaxar is the company's investigational antiplatelet medicine for the reduction of atherothrombotic events, when added to standard of care, in patients with a history of heart attack and no history of stroke or transient ischemic attack. "There are approximately 7.6 million Americans who have survived a heart attack. Each year, about 190,000 of them have a recurrent heart attack, so there remains a need for additional treatment options," said Dr. Daniel Bloomfield, vice president, Cardiovascular Diseases, Merck Research Laboratories. "The results of today's Advisory Committee mark an important milestone in our effort to bring vorapaxar to appropriate patients with a history of heart attack. We look forward to working with the FDA as it completes its review."The FDA is not bound by the Committee's guidance, but takes its advice into consideration when reviewing investigational medicines. About Vorapaxar Vorapaxar, proposed trade name ZONTIVITY™, is a first-in-class protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) antagonist designed to inhibit the formation of blood clots. PAR-1 is a receptor activated by thrombin, known to be a potent platelet activator. Vorapaxar inhibits thrombin-induced platelet aggregation by inhibiting PAR-1 receptors on platelets. Data supporting the filing of this new drug application are from the 26,449 patient TRA 2°P - TIMI 50 trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of vorapaxar used in addition to standard therapy including other antiplatelet agents. Patients included in the study had a history of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or peripheral artery disease and had a median follow-up of 2.5 years. About Merck Today's Merck is a global healthcare leader working to help the world be well. Merck is known as MSD outside the United States and Canada. Through our prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, and consumer care and animal health products, we work with customers and operate in more than 140 countries to deliver innovative health solutions. We also demonstrate our commitment to increasing access to healthcare through far-reaching policies, programs and partnerships.

it all comes down to how much surface area is available to dissipate heat from, but even that follows a law of diminishing returns.
best thing to do is to stick some fans on passive heatsinks.

Pedrosa: One of my favourite circuits
29 April 2014
Dani Pedrosa took his first victory of the 2013 MotoGP season at Jerez last year and badly needs a repeat in this weekend's return.
Pedrosa has been eclipsed by Repsol Honda team-mate and undefeated reigning champion Marc Marquez in the opening three events of this year.
But while Marquez has never won at Jerez in any class, Pedrosa has two victories, in 2008 and 2013(pictured), plus a perfect MotoGP podium record dating back to his 2006 MotoGP debut.
"It was a good weekend in Argentina although I would have liked to be in the battle for the victory, but I really enjoyed the race and the track!" said Pedrosa. "Now we have no break, and next weekend we race in Jerez!
"This is one of my favourite circuits on the calendar, I really enjoy seeing all the fans and racing back in Spain after three long races away. As usual we will start working hard from the Friday and hope to continue with the same momentum that we found in Argentina"
Pedrosa is second in the championship but already 19 points behind Marquez.

the subsequent attempts to reopen the route. Especially valuable to the

Throughout the book good drama comes before historical interpreta-

Preface, introduction, letter of transmittal, index. $17.50.)
Some reprints of nineteenth-century monographs are antiques-
charming, but little more than curiosities of a bygone epoch. Others
evoke the age from which they originate. They remind us of the world
outlook of nineteenth-century Americans, or they recount the history
of their time. Still other monographs are timeless, with prose neither
stilted nor jaded and with ideas ever fresh and stimulating. Southern
Women in the Recent Educational Movement in the South is not
timeless. Yet neither is it simply an antique. A. D. Mayo was a careful
historian of education in the post-Civil War South. Of more interest
than the factual material which he compiled, however, is the com-

2 suggestions comes in mind for comments:
1. When pulling comments from social, also give the option to reply back to the same posting #id
2. Give the option to remove fields from comments, eg. I wanted to disallow "website" from the comment fields as it was used for spamming only, had to modify the code a bit...
Anyway a fantastic piece of plugin!

Your boy Chris Gordon is in The New York Times again, where they call it "Game 7" instead of "game seven." This time, Chris writes about the would-be hero of Game 6 (see?), Joel Ward. Ward scored one goal and assisted on two more in Washington's 4-3 loss to New York. He's a big-game player, and games get no bigger than the one tonight. Read all about it.
Goodness, this certainly is a large link to the article.
Congrats again, Chris. Please tell Maureen Dowd and David Brooks I said hey.
