FRENDS Launching Women's Line Of Designer Headphones
NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Frends - the fashion based electronic accessory brand - is redefining the technology market with the release of a line of headphones designed for fashionable women. Blurring the line between style, design, and technology, Frends is changing the relationship between women and electronics. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121114/NY12126)Founder, CEO, and creative director Keir Dillon is driven by a relentless passion for challenging the status quo. In 2010 he began rethinking what a woman's headphone really could be. This launched Frends, which originated in 2006, into an incredible 180 degree shift, "In everything we do, the goal of Frends is to create through innovation, to explore things that haven't been done before, and to ask simple questions like 'why'," says Dillon. Creating new design lines, utilizing materials common to luxury goods, and, for the first time ever, employing jewelry-making techniques in the crafting of their headphones, the Frends women's line has paid close attention to the technical details that make these pieces not only beautiful, but functional. Every component of the collection has been sized to properly fit a women's profile. Headbands adjust internally to eliminate hair snags and also fold easily to fit into an evening clutch. All leather elements are stain-resistant and resilient enough to be carried in a handbag; woven cords made of durable fabric drape perfectly without tangling. Each style comes with custom-tuned drivers to deliver sound that rivals the very best in the market. The Frends headphones come in three styles: Ella, Layla, and Taylor. The Taylor and Layla headphones are primarily metal and leather and are designed to be the contemporary woman's newest statement piece. The Ella earbud was created to resemble an earring that plays music. Each piece comes in three colorways: gold/white, rose gold/white and silver/black. The gold/white will be available exclusively at Apple stores within US and Asia. The Frends' Women's Line is now available at both Apple and Best Buy stores nationwide and online at wearefrends.com. Prices range from $99-$199. About FRENDS Founded in 2006 by a group of creatives, musicians, athletes and artists, FRENDS is a collective that believes in challenging the status quo, and shares the passion for changing the relationship between sound and style. Their innovative line of headphones seamlessly fuses timeless design and the craftsmanship of yesterday with a premium sound of tomorrow. Rethinking headphones as a whole, Frends believes that if you want to have a different product, you have to have a different process. SOURCE FRENDS

Logarithmic based optical delay for time-resolved data collection81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3474226View Description Hide Description
A method has been established that generates values spaced according to a mathematical function, specifically the logarithm function that can be applied to a stepper motor. Here, it is applied to yield logarithmically spaced time delay points for subnanosecond interferometric time-resolved experiments using a stepper motor controlled translation stage. Application of this method is discussed in terms of three input parameters: the optical delay stage time resolution,; the time of maximum delay, ; and the desired number of data points, . The method improves the efficiency of interferometric time-resolved data collection while providing data collection effective to determine decay parameters. In principle, this technique could be generalized to any mathematical function.
Fabry–Pérot interferometer utilized for displacement measurement in a large measuring range81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3480551View Description Hide Description
The optical configuration of a Fabry–Pérot interferometer is uncomplicated. This has already been applied in different measurement systems. For the displacement measurement with the Fabry–Pérot interferometer, the result is significantly influenced by the tilt angles of the measurement mirror in the interferometer. Hence, only for the rather small measuring range, the Fabry–Pérot interferometer is available. The goal of this investigation is to enhance the measuring range of Fabry–Pérot interferometer by compensating the tilt angles. To verify the measuring characteristic of the self-developed Fabry–Pérot interferometer, some comparison measurements with a reference standard have been performed. The maximum deviation of comparison experiments is less than in the traveling range of 30 mm. The experimental results show that the Fabry–Pérot interferometer is highly stable, insensitive to environment effects, and can meet the measuring requirement of the submicrometer order.
Versatile apparatus for attosecond metrology and spectroscopy81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3475689View Description Hide Description
We present the AS-2 Attosecond Beamline at the Joint Laboratory for Attosecond Physics of the Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität for time resolved pump/probe experiments with attosecond resolution. High harmonic generation and subsequent filtering of the generated extreme ultraviolet (XUV) continuum by means of metal filters and XUV multilayermirrors serve for the generation of isolated attosecond laser pulses. After high harmonic generation, the remaining fundamental laser pulse is spatially separated from the attosecond XUV pulse, to what is to our knowledge for the first time, by means of a perforated mirror in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. Active stabilization of this interferometer guarantees the necessary temporal resolution for tracking attosecond dynamics in real time. As a proof-of-principle, photoelectron streaking experiments are performed and experimental techniques for their realization are summarized. Finally we highlight the potential of the presented beamline system for future experiments in comparison with previously demonstrated attosecond beamlines.
Measurement of ultralow loss in antireflection mirror81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3484189View Description Hide Description
A new method based on the double-beam polarization balance bridge technique for measuring the ultralow total loss, including absorption, scattering, and reflection in ultrahigh antireflection mirror is presented. By rotating the polarizer before and after the insertion of a mirror into one beam out of the Wollaston prism to adjust the intensities of the two beams to be equal, the total loss can be obtained by recording the angle variation of the polarizer. The factors affecting the measurement precision of the technique and the main sources of errors are investigated in detail. The total loss measurement precision of the mirror is 10 ppm and the zero drift is 10 ppm at 632.8 nm.

Radial current high power dummy load for characterizing the high power laser triggered transformer-type accelerator81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3480546View Description Hide Description
A radial-current aqueous resistive solution load was applied to characterize a laser triggered transformer-type accelerator. The current direction in the dummy load is radial and is different from the traditional load in the axial. Therefore, this type of dummy load has smaller inductance and fast response characteristic. The load was designed to accommodate both the resistance requirement of accelerator and to allow optical access for the laser. Theoretical and numerical calculations of the load's inductance and capacitance are given. The equivalent circuit of the dummy load is calculated in theory and analyzed with a PSPICE code. The simulation results agree well with the theoretical analysis. At last, experiments of the dummy load applied to the high power spiral pulse forming line were performed; a quasisquare pulse voltage is obtained at the dummy load.
A versatile automated sample changer for texture measurements on the high pressure-preferred orientation neutron diffractometer81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3485035View Description Hide Description
An automated sample changer with an Eulerian cradle for neutron texture measurements is described. This device has been measuring over 2300 texture and almost 400 powder samples at ambient conditions since it became operational in 2002 for use in the high pressure-preferred orientation diffractometer at the LANSCE neutron scattering facility. Operation for almost a decade resulted in sustained enhancements of mechanics, electronics, and software which significantly improved reliability and resiliency. We also describe in this paper our platform independent computer program POD2K which we use to create publication quality pole figure plots for texture samples.

Radio frequency-compensated Langmuir probe with auxiliary double probes81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3478338View Description Hide Description
A radio frequency (rf) compensation design using auxiliary double probes connected in parallel with a main measurement probe was developed for Langmuir probediagnostics. This probe structure can reduce the sheath impedance of the main probe. In our probe design, the sheathcapacitance of the probe can be increased and its sheath resistance can be decreased with increasing dc bias differential voltage between the auxiliary double probes. The I-V characteristic curve and electron energy distribution functions measured by our probe system had sufficient rf compensation performance in inductively coupled plasmas.
Fast plasma discharge capillary design as a high power throughput soft x-ray emission source81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3482070View Description Hide Description
We present the experimental details and results from a low energy but high repetition rate compact plasma capillary source for extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray research and applications. Two lengths of capillary are mounted in two versions of a closely related design. The discharge operates in 1.6 and 3.2 mm inner diameter alumina capillaries of lengths 21 and 36 mm. The use of water both as dielectric and as coolant simplifies the compact low inductance design with nanosecond discharge periods. The stored electrical energy of the discharge is approximately 0.5 J and is provided by directly charging the capacitor plates from an inexpensive insulated-gate bipolar transistor in or less. We present characteristic argon spectra from plasma between 30 and 300 Å as well as temporally resolved x-rayenergy fluence in discrete bands on axis. The spectra also allow the level of ablated wall material to be gauged and associated with useful capillary lifetime according to the chosen configuration and energy storage. The connection between the electron beams associated with the transient hollow cathode mechanism, soft x-ray output, capillary geometry, and capillary lifetime is reported. The role of these e-beams and the plasma as measured on-axis is discussed. The relation of the electron temperature and the ionization stages observed is discussed in the context of some model results of ionization in a non-Maxwellian plasma.
Development of a thermal neutron detector based on scintillating fibers and silicon photomultipliers81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3480995View Description Hide Description
We propose a technique for thermal neutrondetection, based on a converter placed in front of scintillating fibers readout by means of siliconphotomultipliers. Such a technique allows building cheap and compact detectors and dosimeters, thus possibly opening new perspectives in terms of granular monitoring of neutron fluxes as well as space-resolved neutrondetection.
Correcting magnetic probe perturbations on current density measurements of current carrying plasmas81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3480556View Description Hide Description
A method to infer the current density distribution in the current sheath of a plasma focus discharge from a magnetic probe is formulated and then applied to experimental data obtained in a 1.1 kJ device. Distortions on the magnetic probe signal caused by current redistribution and by a time-dependent total discharge current are considered simultaneously, leading to an integral equation for the current density. Two distinct, easy to implement, numerical procedures are given to solve such equation. Experimental results show the coexistence of at least two maxima in the current densitystructure of a nitrogen sheath.
Estimation of plasma position from tangentially viewed images on a toroidally symmetric device81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3482056View Description Hide Description
Images of plasma from a fast-framing camera are the most intuitive and reliable data to understand the status of tokamak plasmas. Generation, movement, size variation, and disruptions of plasmas can be clearly observed from these images. However, it is not a simple task to obtain the exact positions and sizes of plasmas using these images because measured two-dimensional images inevitably lose the three-dimensional position information of their targets. In this paper, the exact positions and sizes of plasmas have been calculated from tangentially viewed images using the toroidal symmetry of the plasma in the Korea SuperconductingTokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device. The positions and sizes of the plasmas have been manually determined with displayed cursors on images and automatically determined using a correlation factor with calculated virtual plasma images as well. These two results correspond well with each other. The estimated positions have also been compared with those obtained from magnetic diagnosticsanalysis.
- Microscopy and Imaging
A procedure to determine the optimum imaging parameters for atomic/molecular resolution frequency modulation atomic force microscopy81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3477995View Description Hide Description
We propose a general procedure to determine the optimum imaging parameters (spring constant and oscillation amplitude) to obtain the optimum resolution in frequency modulationatomic force microscopy. We calculated the effective signal-to-noise ratio for various spring constants and oscillation amplitudes, based on the measurement of frequency shift and energy dissipation versus tip-sample distance curves, to find the optimum. We applied this procedure for imaging a lead phthalocyanine (PbPc) thin film on a substrate, and found that the optimum parameters were about 5 N/m and 20 nm, respectively. An improved signal-to-noise ratio was attained in a preliminary experiment using parameters which were close to the calculated optimum.
A new method of Q factor optimization by introducing two nodal wedges in a tuning-fork/fiber probe distance sensor81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3480557View Description Hide Description
We report on a new method of achieving and optimizing a high Q factor in a near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) by introducing two nodal wedges to a tuning-fork/fiber probe distance sensor and by selecting a vibrational mode of the dithering sensor. The effect of the nodal wedges on the dynamical properties of the sensor is theoretically analyzed and experimentally confirmed. The optimization achieved by the proposed method is understood from the vibration isolation and the subsequent formation of a local vibration cavity. The optimal condition is found to be less susceptible to the variation of the fiber tip length. This method allows effective NSOM measurement of samples placed even in aqueous solution.
Coating of tips for electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy by means of silicon, magnesium, and tungsten oxides81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3484191View Description Hide Description
Different combinations of metal tips and oxide coatings have been tested for possible operation in electrochemicalscanning tunneling microscopy. Silicon and magnesium oxides have been thermally evaporated onto gold and platinum-iridium tips, respectively. Two different thickness values have been explored for both materials, namely, 40 and 120 nm for silicon oxide and 20 and 60 nm for magnesium oxide. Alternatively, tungsten oxide has been grown on tungsten tips via electrochemical anodization. In the latter case, to seek optimal results we have varied the pH of the anodizing electrolyte between one and four. The oxide coated tips have been first inspected by means of scanning electron microscopy equipped with microanalysis to determine the morphological results of the coating. Second, the coated tips have been electrically characterized ex situ for stability in time by means of cyclic voltammetry in 1 M aqueous KCl supporting electrolyte, both bare and supplemented with complex at 10 mM concentration in milliQ water as an analyte. Only the tungsten oxide coatedtungsten tips have shown stable electrical behavior in the electrolyte. For these tips, the uncoated metal area has been estimated from the electrical current levels, and they have been successfully tested by imaging a gold grating in situ, which provided stable results for several hours. The successful tungsten oxide coating obtained at has been assigned to the form.
Precise and millidegree stable temperature control for fluorescence imaging: Application to phase transitions in lipid membranes81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3483263View Description Hide Description
We present the design of a custom temperature-controlled chamber suitable for water or oil immersion fluorescence microscopy and its application to phase behavior in lipid bilayer vesicles. The apparatus is self-contained and portable, suitable for multiuser microscopy facilities. It offers a higher temperature resolution and stability than any comparable commercial apparatus, on the order of millidegrees. We demonstrate the utility of the system in the study of miscibility transitions in model membranes. The temperature-dependent phase behavior of model membrane systems that display liquid-ordered phase coexistence with the liquid-disordered phase is relevant to understanding the existence of heterogeneities in biological cell plasma membranes, ubiquitously termed "lipid rafts."
A high stability beam-scanning confocal optical microscope for low temperature operation81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3484140View Description Hide Description
We report on the design and performance of a high stability scanning confocal microscope for optical microscopy at low temperatures. By scanning the beam in a cold objective lens system, we achieve wide fields of view without compromising image quality. Photoluminescence from single nitrogen-vacancy centers in high purity diamond is used to illustrate the imaging and stability performance of the microscope.
Multispectral imaging of the ocular fundus using light emitting diode illumination81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3478001View Description Hide Description
We present an imaging system based on light emitting diode(LED)illumination that produces multispectral optical images of the human ocular fundus. It uses a conventional fundus camera equipped with a high power LED light source and a highly sensitive electron-multiplying charge coupled devicecamera. It is able to take pictures at a series of wavelengths in rapid succession at short exposure times, thereby eliminating the image shift introduced by natural eye movements (saccades). In contrast with snapshot systems the images retain full spatial resolution. The system is not suitable for applications where the full spectral resolution is required as it uses discrete wavebands for illumination. This is not a problem in retinal imaging where the use of selected wavelengths is common. The modular nature of the light source allows new wavelengths to be introduced easily and at low cost. The use of wavelength-specific LEDs as a source is preferable to white light illumination and subsequent filtering of the remitted light as it minimizes the total light exposure of the subject. The system is controlled via a graphical user interface that enables flexible control of intensity, duration, and sequencing of sources in synchrony with the camera. Our initial experiments indicate that the system can acquire multispectral image sequences of the human retina at exposure times of 0.05 s in the range of 500–620 nm with mean signal to noise ratio of 17 dB (min 11, std 4.5), making it suitable for quantitative analysis with application to the diagnosis and screening of eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration.
Atomic force microscopy imaging using a tip-on-chip: Opening the door to integrated near field nanotools81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3477996View Description Hide Description
We describe in detail how atomic force microscopy(AFM) images can be routinely achieved with macroscopic silicon-based chips integrating mesoscopic tips, paving the way for the development of new near field devices combining AFM imaging with any kind of functionality integrated on a chip. The chips have been glued at the end of the free prong of 100 kHz quartztuning forks mounted in Qplus configuration. Numerical simulations by modal analysis have been carried out to clarify the nature of the vibration modes observed in the experimental spectra. It is shown that two low frequency modes can be used to drive the system and scan the surface with a great stability in amplitude modulation as well as in frequency modulationAFM under ultrahigh vacuum. The AFM capabilities are demonstrated through a series of examples including phase and dissipation contrast imaging, force spectroscopy measurements, and investigations of soft samples in weak interaction with the substrate. The lateral resolution with the tips grown by focused ion beam deposition already matches the one achieved in standard amplitude modulation mode AFM experiments.

Broadband electron spin resonance at 4–40 GHz and magnetic fields up to 10 T81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3469783View Description Hide Description
A broadband electron spin resonance spectrometer is described which operates at frequencies between 4 and 40 GHz and can be used in superconducting magnets. A tunable cylindrical cavity is connected to a vector network analyzer via coaxial cables, and the radiation is fed into the cavity by a coupling loop. No field modulation is employed. Resonance frequencies below 14 GHz are obtained by inserting dielectrics with different permittivities into the cavity. The setup allows for measurements with the microwavemagnetic field either parallel or perpendicular to the external field.
Integrating in situ high pressure small and wide angle synchrotron x-ray scattering for exploiting new physics of nanoparticle supercrystals81(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3480558View Description Hide Description
Combined small and wide angle synchrotron x-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) techniques have been developed for in situhigh pressure samples, enabling exploration of the atomic structure and nanoscale superstructure phase relations. These studies can then be used to find connections between nanoparticle surfaces and internal atomic arrangements. We developed a four-axis control system for the detector, which we then employed for the study of two supercrystals assembled from 5 nm and 10 nm Aunanoparticles. We optimized the x-ray energy and the sample-to-detector distance to facilitate simultaneous collection of both SAXS and WAXS. We further performed in situhigh pressure SAXS and WAXS on a cubic supercrystal assembled from 4 nm wurtzite-structure CdSenanoparticles. While wurtzite-structure CdSenanoparticles transform into a rocksalt structure at 6.2 GPa, the cubic superstructure develops into a lamellarlike mesostructure at 9.6 GPa. Nanoparticle coupling and interaction could be enhanced, thus reducing the compressibility of the interparticle spacing above . At , the wurtzite-to-rocksalt phase transformation results in a noticeable drop of interparticle spacing. Above 6.2 GPa, a combined effect from denser CdSenanoparticle causes the interparticle spacing to expand. These findings could be related to a series of changes including the surface structure, electronic and mechanical properties, and strain distribution of CdSe under pressure. This technique opens the way for exploring the new physics of nanoparticles and self-assembled superlattices.

You expected to lose weight after your baby was born, but not your hair... After you give birth, you'll notice a lot of changes! For starters, even though you won't lose all your pregnancy weight immediately, your body will get you off to a good start. Immediately following the birth, on average, you will shed a seven-pound baby, two pounds of placenta, and two pounds of amniotic fluid. Plus, all the extra water that you retained during your pregnancy will now be looking for a way out. For this reason, you'll produce a HUGE three quarts of urine a day, causing more weight loss. Because you're producing so much urine, you'll probably urinate more often than you're used to, although this won't last for long. Post baby, you may also notice that you're losing a lot of hair-even handfuls of it! Rest assured, however, that this temporary side effect is just the result of your decreasing pregnancy hormones. The first couple of months with your new baby can require a real adjustment. Hang in there though -most of the post partum effects will subside within the first year.More »

However, even if you choose not to nurse, your breasts will produce milk for several days to a week. If you want the milk to stop flowing, you shouldn't allow your baby to nurse, nor should you remove the milk in any other manner. However, these drugs come with additional health risks to the mother, so they are not commonly prescribed. You will notice discharge known as lochia from your vagina. This occurs as cells from the lining of your uterus slough off. Lochia starts out as bright red blood, then tapers off before finally stopping. After you give birth, your uterus is 15 times heavier than it was when you got pregnant! For this reason, you'll be able to feel it a few finger widths below the top of your belly button. But by six weeks after delivery, your uterus will return to its old size. Having a baby definitely changes your body, but take comfort in the fact that most alterations are only temporary.More »

Your Post-Partum Sex Life »
There will be changes in your sex lives after you become parents but it doesn't have to be any less exciting. Click here for more details about your post-partum sex life.

Saying hello to a new baby does not mean saying goodbye to a great sex life! Immediately after a vaginal delivery, your vagina will be stretched out, sore and bruised. Because you need time to heal, most doctors recommend waiting until your six-week checkup before resuming intercourse. When you do get back in the bedroom, you may notice that you produce less lubrication than you did pre-baby. This is due to lower levels of estrogen in your body, something which will be even more pronounced if you're breastfeeding. Luckily, a water-based lubricant will help with vaginal dryness. If things still feel "stretched out" post delivery, you can tighten up with Kegel exercises. To do a Kegel, imagine that you're trying to stop a flow of urine midstream. If you repeat it often, that squeeze and lift will tighten your vagina. Once you work past these early difficulties, though, note that you will need to use birth control. Your period won't start right away - it could take two months to a full year post-baby - but that doesn't mean you're not ovulating! Most doctors recommend using a condom, as a diaphragm can slip around inside your post-pregnancy vagina, and an IUD can't be installed until you've healed. In addition, hormonal birth control is not encouraged if you're breastfeeding, because the hormones can contradict milk production. Getting used to sex post-baby may take some time. But, just like when you were making your baby, practice will make perfect!More »

Tips for New Moms »
If you have a new baby there are tips for new moms on how to relax. Check out this video to learn more.

"Being a mother is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be a bit scary at first. Dr. Mom is a physician and has also raised two children. Here are Dr. Mom's top three tips for new mothers:First of all, she should take a deep breath and relax. Babies are not fragile, they get sick, they have rashes, they have earaches, they cry. All of which can be handled usually at home, with no unusual measures. You need to be aware that a doctor may be needed, but don't jump to the worst conclusions. Breastfeeding is really good it's nice for the mom and for the baby, but it's not absolutely the only way to feed your baby. Even if you breastfeed, it's very important to get your baby ready to take a bottle. You need the time and the flexibility that having somebody else feed your baby occasionally will allow you. The most important advice I can give new mothers is: remember you are your baby's lifeline and you need to take care of yourself. That means taking some downtime, getting some rest, getting proper nutrition, occasionally leaving the baby and entertaining yourself with a movie or a book or friends. You're still a partner, you're still a member of the social world, and you still have interests outside the house. Take care of yourself and be good to your baby."More »

Post-Partum Depression »
If you've just had a baby and you're feeling less than ecstatic, be on the lookout for post-partum depression! Learn the signs.
Transcript: You've just had a beautiful baby, and for some reason you can't seem to stop crying. If this sounds familiar,...
You've just had a beautiful baby, and for some reason you can't seem to stop crying. If this sounds familiar, know that you aren't alone...as many as 80 percent of new moms experience some sadness postpartum. In most cases, these "baby blues" are a passing state of emotions that only last a few days or weeks after delivery. Moms who experience postpartum blues may feel irritable or sad, and have trouble sleeping. Normal post-baby sadness doesn't interfere with a woman's ability to care for her baby. In about 10 to 20 percent of new moms, however, the baby blues are more severe. Postpartum depression is a condition that DOES interfere with a mom's ability to care for her child. This illness was brought into the spotlight in 2005, when model and actress, Brooke Shields came forward to discuss her struggles with postpartum depression. Shields even wrote a book, "Down Came the Rain," to publicize the condition. The symptoms of postpartum depression include frequent crying jags, sleep disturbances, thoughts of suicide, weight and energy loss, lack of interest in anything, and feelings of guilt. An even more serious postpartum disorder is known as postpartum psychosis. This rare condition leads to psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, following a baby's birth. Moms with postpartum psychosis are more likely to have obsessive thoughts about their babies and may act upon ideas of hurting them. No matter what postpartum condition a new mom has, a hormone imbalance is thought to play a role. That's because levels of the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol fall rapidly in the 48 hours after delivery. Women who develop a postpartum disorder are more sensitive to these changes. Women with a history of depression or other mental illnesses, women experiencing relationship problems, and moms who have had a previous postpartum condition, are all more likely to develop one of these illness. But there is help for postpartum disorders! Moms who have the "baby blues," may find that being surrounded with a support network, talking to other mothers, and getting more rest will usually lead to an abating of symptoms in a few short weeks. Women experiencing postpartum depression, however, will probably need a little extra help. Your doctor may suggest psychological counseling, or group therapy. She may also prescribe an anti-depressant medication, like Paxil or Prozac, which will help regulate hormone imbalances. If you're breastfeeding, talk to your doctor about medications that are safe for you AND your baby. If your doctor diagnoses you with postpartum psychosis, your treatment will involve more intense therapy and an anti-psychotic medication. If you are among the women who experience postpartum sadness, remember that you are not alone and that you WILL recover. Above all, do not be embarrassed about this common condition! Please, see your doctor if you are concerned about post-partum depression.More »

You've got a new baby to cuddle and hold...but what about cuddling and holding your partner? Even if sex seems like nothing but a memory, you will have it again. After all, most of us have siblings! Before you get busy, you will need to wait the amount of time your doctor recommends-usually about six weeks. This allows for any tears to heal, post-partum bleeding to stop, and your cervix to close. Other than the required wait, however, you should let your emotions and body guide you. Some women are ready to have sex very quickly, while others deal with shifting body image, general fatigue, or postpartum depression that puts them off sex. When you do decide you're ready, go slow and be easy on yourself. Oh, and don't worry about sex feeling different after baby. Enlist a few Kegel exercises and you'll be back to normal in no time!More »

Stretch Marks »
Are you worried about those ugly stretch marks on your body? There are a number of ways in which you can get rid of these marks. Watch our video to learn more.
Transcript: Having a baby may be your biggest accomplishment yet, but that doesn't mean you'll want a physical reminder...
Having a baby may be your biggest accomplishment yet, but that doesn't mean you'll want a physical reminder of the experience! During pregnancy, the skin on your belly is stretched and pulled to accommodate your growing baby. Skin does not bounce back if it's been stretched by rapid growth due to pregnancy, weight gain, or extreme weight loss. But there are other factors that affect the integrity of the skin, like: genetics, nutrition, overall health, and whether or not you are a smoker.Instead, it can become decorated by a form of scarring called stretch marks, or striae. Stretch marks often start off as reddish or purplish in color, and then fade to glossy skin that appears streaked in silver or white.Research has shown that the formation of stretch marks begins with a breakdown and stretching of collagen located beneath the top layer of skin. When a person experiences the skin being stretched over a short period of time, the natural order of collagen fibers is disrupted. The fibers are stretched, and we see what we know as stretch marks--small, depressed streaks on the skin, which affect more than 50% of pregnant women. While most women notice them on their stomachs, you may also see stretch marks on your buttocks, hips, thighs, or breasts. Although the marks initially appear pink, reddish or dark brown, they WILL start to fade within 6 to 12 months of your baby's birth. Unfortunately though, stretch marks never COMPLETELY disappear, which may be why so many women seek to prevent them in the first place. While there is no proven way to do so, it can help to not gain excessive weight during your pregnancy, and to make sure to drink a lot of fluids and to exercise regularly. Some women also swear by over-the-counter stretch mark prevention lotions, like Reviva, while other women rave about cocoa butter and Vitamin E oil! Please remember though, that there is no conclusive scientific proof that any of these creams work. Still, rubbing lotion into your belly each night WILL prevent itching, and may improve elasticity! Several factors play into the development of stretch marks. So even your best attempts to prevent them, after you have already become pregnant, may minimize, but not completely avoid this issue. Luckily, you may be able to reduce the appearance of the scars by applying a topical ointment, like Retin-A, post-pregnancy. But be sure to discuss this with your doctor if you're breastfeeding.And if your stretch marks REALLY bother you, you might consider laser treatments to help restore skin's elasticity and alter the color of the marks to better match your skin. But because these costly treatments are considered to be cosmetic, they are rarely covered by insurance. That's why most women choose to let time do its effective fading work on their stretch marks.More »

Post-Partum Weight Loss »
Have you just had your baby and ready to get back to your old self? Be patient about shedding the baby weight! Learn more about post-partum weight loss in this video.
Transcript: Supermodel Heidi Klum had a baby, then almost immediately slimmed down to her pre-pregnancy weight, and...
Supermodel Heidi Klum had a baby, then almost immediately slimmed down to her pre-pregnancy weight, and was back on the runway in six weeks flat! If you're thinking you could be like Heidi, RELAX. You're a new mom and a normal person and your weight loss goals should reflect that! While it's admirable to want to shed baby weight, your doctor may ask that you hold off on slimming down until after your six week postpartum checkup. If you delivered vaginally, however, the American Academy of OBGYNs says that you can GRADUALLY begin exercising as soon as YOU feel up to it. Note that women who gave birth via c-section do NOT usually have this option and must wait six to eight weeks to begin an exercise program. Regardless, once you decide it's time to begin a fitness routine, the number one rule is to go SLOW. Try gentle aerobic activity, like brisk walking, swimming, or biking, to lose those pounds quickly and safely. In addition, avoid sit-ups or other exercises that could strain your abdominal muscles post-pregnancy. If you're like most women, you developed a gap in those muscles while you were expecting, and you'll need to go easy on the area for at least eight weeks. As you begin your regimen, have realistic goals-just because Angelina Jolie was back in skinny jeans in eight weeks doesn't mean you have to be, at all! In fact, it's not even SAFE to lose more than a pound or two a week, according to most doctors. You should expect it to take ten months to a full year to lose the 25 or more pounds you put on during pregnancy. This is especially true if you're breastfeeding, as rapid weight loss can release bad-for-baby toxins normally stored in body fat into your milk. But the good news for breastfeeding moms is that nursing will help you lose weight. That's because, during your pregnancy, your body was busy storing up nourishing fat to feed your baby once he or she arrived. Now that your little one is here, your baby will be taking this fat directly from your body, in turn helping you reach your weight loss goals! Also, you require about 500 calories a day simply to produce breast milk. You can use those extra 500 calories to add more healthy food to your diet, or to help you lose that extra baby weight. In fact, svelte celebs like Christina Aguilera and Gwyneth Paltrow credit their rapid weight loss in part to having made the choice to breastfeed. And Jodi Foster even said she "just couldn't stop losing weight" while nursing! Remember, though, that you shouldn't CUT calories while you're breastfeeding, EVEN IF weight loss is your goal. Instead, make sure to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole-grains and calcium-rich foods. Remember that every woman's weight loss goals and post-pregnancy body will be different, so it's best to consult your doctor before beginning ANY kind of weight loss plan.More »

Preparing Children for a New Baby »
Getting the whole family ready for a new baby can take some advance planning. Check out these tips on preparing children for a new baby.
Transcript: Helping your older child adjust to a new baby in your family takes a little finesse and a lot of love....
Helping your older child adjust to a new baby in your family takes a little finesse and a lot of love. In the weeks following the birth of your newborn, try to involve your oldest in the new daily routine as much as possible. Make a point to ask for your child's opinion: "Do you think the baby wants to wear a red shirt or a blue shirt?" If he wants to "help," allow him to fetch diapers, hold the baby , tell a story, or any other age-appropriate task. Even if the "helping" actually slows you down, it's an important way for the big brother or sister to feel useful and special. Then again, if your child just doesn't seem interested in his new sibling, don't force the issue... as the bonding process can take some time. Even more common than disinterest are feelings of anger, sadness, or even resentment toward the new baby. Know that this can happen EVEN if your oldest was excited about the PROSPECT of a new baby brother or sister. And your child may express these emotions in a variety of ways. It is common for a toddler or preschool-aged child to regress and act like a baby. Regression may include forgetting potty training skills, using baby talk, asking for a bottle, or trying to use the baby's things. Indulge this short-lived stage with good-natured humor and love, while reminding your child of all the things "big kids" can do, that babies can't. If your child is a bit older, however... he may misbehave, throw temper tantrums, or refuse to eat, all in an effort to engage your attention. While you should make it clear that such behavior is unacceptable... you can and SHOULD make a point to talk to your child about his feelings. Explain that it's OK to feel sad or angry, and ask him to tell you about these emotions. Encourage your child to talk with you about these feelings by asking very specific and pointed questions, rather than open-ended ones. Above all, it's vital that you reserve a chunk of time daily to spend with JUST your older child, no baby allowed! Even an extra bedtime story, a private snuggle, or a trip to the grocery store count. This one-on-one time is the best way to remind your child that he is just as important to you as he has ALWAYS been!More »

Preparing Your Child For a New Sibling »
Preparing your child for a new sibling can be challenging -- especially when that child is the firstborn. Feelings of jealousy aren't unusual. Use these tips to make your child feel loved and secure and help cultivate a positive sibling relationship.
Transcript: Is your child going to become a big brother or sister? Preparing your child for this change-and preparing...
Is your child going to become a big brother or sister? Preparing your child for this change-and preparing YOURSELF for your child's reactions-is vital! Setting the scene for a positive interaction between your children starts BEFORE you even tell your oldest about the impending arrival. It can be helpful to watch movies or read books in which siblings play a prominent, positive role. Or spend time with bigger families, so your little one gets used to the sibling dynamic. Eventually, you'll need to break the baby news, but most experts recommend waiting until AFTER your first trimester... And if you've decided to do genetic testing, like CVS or amniocentesis, it's smart to wait until you've gotten the results and are certain that things are as you'd like them to be with your pregnancy. Pick a time when both you and your partner can be present...and use clear, concise terms, like, "There's a baby growing in Mommy's tummy, and her belly will keep growing, and when it gets really big, a baby will come out, and you will have a little sister or brother!" If your child is upset, tell her that it's OK to feel sad or confused, and explain that talking about these feelings can help. If she doesn't seem to want more information, let it go for now. She'll probably have questions later. If she wants to know how the baby got inside of you, you can simply say that, "Daddy put it there." Often, simplistic explanations like these satisfy little minds. If not, answer your child's questions as directly and straightforwardly as you can. In the coming months, keep all talk about the new baby light and positive, even when you experience pregnancy symptoms. By simply saying, "Mommy doesn't feel well today," you'll ensure that your child does not associate the new baby with your sickness. If your child seems interested, allow her to help with preparations for the baby, like picking rompers or arranging the nursery. And speaking of nurseries, if you need to move your older child out of a crib or to a different room, do so as soon as you can so she doesn't feel displaced by the baby. Try to avoid any other major changes during this time, such as potty training or starting a new school. And above all, continue to shower your little one with love, affection and reassurance. These are the best ways to ensure she reacts positively to the new baby when it arrives!More »

Preparing Your Dog or Cat for a New Baby »
Even pets get jealous when a new baby enters the house! Preparing your dog or cat for a new baby is necessary to keep your newborn safe. Use these easy pet training tools to create harmony between baby and pet.
Transcript: There's no reason that Spot or Fluffy can't get along with your family's newest addition! You love your...
There's no reason that Spot or Fluffy can't get along with your family's newest addition! You love your pet, and want harmony when baby comes, so it makes sense to start preparing your pet early on in your pregnancy for the family's new arrival. Set up a cozy, special spot for your pet, and encourage your pet to spend time there. Stock it with a blanket, water, food, favorite toys, and a litter box for a cat. However, a pregnant woman should avoid handling a dirty litter box completely, as cat feces can contain certain germs that are very dangerous to a developing fetus. This offers your animal a safe retreat when over-stimulated by the baby... If there will be a new set of rules, like no sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's bed, for instance, introduce them in the second trimester so that your pet won't associate the potential feeling of rejection with the baby's arrival. This also gets your pet accustomed to spending occasional time alone and out of the way. Begin by desensitizing your pet to the rough handling your kids can dole out. Places to touch your pet to acclimate them include between the paw pads, on the face, tail, and in the ears and mouth. Do this daily and offer treats for cooperation. Next, you'll want to familiarize your pet with baby sounds and smells. To do it, buy a disc of baby noises, or borrow a friend's infant and tape her laughing and crying. Play the recordings around your pet at increasingly higher volumes, so he becomes accustomed to the noise. To help your pet accept a baby's scent, start wearing baby lotion or powder daily. And after the baby is born, ask a friend to bring home a blanket that the baby has been sleeping in. Introduce your infant's smell to your pet in a positive way-by allowing him to sleep on the baby-scented linen. Before the birth, you can also ask a friend with an infant to visit, which allows your pet to experience a real baby. Some experts also recommend that you occasionally carry a bundle of blankets, or-even better-a moving, talking baby doll. You may feel silly doing it, but this gets your pet used to the idea of your hands and attention being otherwise occupied. If you have a dog, use the time before the birth to reinforce his basic training commands, including, "sit" and "stay." And if your pet is a jumper, discourage the habit by placing double stick tape on the baby's changing table and crib. Once your baby is ready to come home from the hospital, have someone else carry your infant so that you can greet your excited pet. To further ensure that your animal doesn't feel threatened, pick a neutral spot, like the front yard, or the lobby of your building, to make the introduction to the newest member of your family. It may take your infant some time to get used to your pet too, particularly if you have a dog. If your baby is bothered by barking, keep a white-noise machine or fan in the nursery. And use that private space you've carved out for the dog to keep the two apart for now. Remember, though, that your baby has been hearing barking since before she was born, so your little one may not give it a second thought! And while your pet and baby get acquainted, be mindful that your animal may feel neglected by the new arrival. Keep up your routine and... Carve out a few minutes to spend with your sweet pet every day, and you'll help ensure harmony in your newly expanded family.More »

Childcare Choices for Your Baby »
Even before your newborn arrives, you'll have childcare on your mind. And there are so many childcare choices for your baby to choose from. Watch this video to learn about the options, from family childcare to day care centers.
Transcript: When it comes to care for your new baby, you want the very best. But what does that mean when it comes...
When it comes to care for your new baby, you want the very best. But what does that mean when it comes to childcare for your baby? Before you start looking for childcare, you'll have to determine how much you can spend on it! If your budget is minimal, you may decide to leave your child in the care of a close relative, like your mother-in-law or sibling, if that's possible. About 20% of new parents go with this option, which is often a free one. Plus, relative care ensures that your baby gets exclusive attention from someone personally invested in her. On the flipside, it can be difficult to offer child-rearing pointers and constructive criticism to a family member! For reasons like this, many people decide that the best "relative" for the childcare role is mom or dad. Stay-at-home parenting is the care choice of almost 50% of parents with children under the age of two. The pluses to staying home are obvious: You retain full control of your child's care...and you get to be with your baby at every developmental milestone. But cutting the family's income by foregoing the stay-at-home parent's salary, can be difficult financially. As well, the parent staying home may miss the role they once inhabited in the work place, which can lead to resentment and unhappiness. To combat this potential issue, some parents who work in more flexible fields, are sharing stay-at-home status, trading days depending on their respective schedules. This more even-handed co-parenting is becoming more and more popular. If staying at home is not a real option, why not look into hiring a full-time nanny? A nanny provides exclusive, intimate care for your child...from attending to basic needs, to encouraging mental and physical development. But one-on-one attention does NOT come cheap! Expect to pay upwards of $500 a week for a nanny's services. And know ahead of time, that there is a lot of legal paperwork if you are employing him or her. Also, before you hire anyone to take care of your child, ask for several references, and in addition, you may want to do a background check, especially if you did not find your caregiver through an agency. If none of these home-based care choices works for you, a daycare-either in a center, OR in someone ELSE'S home-may be a good choice. About 30% of young children with working parents are put into some type of daycare program. Look for the type of daycare that works best with what you want for your child, as some offer classes like dance, and arts and crafts. If you choose a licensed daycare center, you can rest assured that it will be strictly regulated by the government...and is likely staffed with early childhood development experts. And while it's not one-on-one care, generally daycares staff one adult for every three to four children. Some caveats, though, are that due to the number of kids, colds and other illnesses tend to spread more easily, resulting in kids that get sick more often. And daycare centers won't provide care for sick children. And one must abide by a more structured schedule as pick up and drop off times are regimented. For this reason, some turn to the often more cost-friendly and intimate atmosphere of a home daycare. Home daycares can be wonderful, because they cater to children of other ages, which can make the environment reminiscent of a family setting. Home daycares may also be more flexible with pick up and drop off times, but bear in mind that they are not monitored by the government as closely as their counterparts. A benefit of BOTH types of daycare is that they allow your baby plenty of opportunities to socialize. With all of these facts to weigh in your childcare choice, you may worry that you'll make the "wrong" decision. But if you do your homework about any Nanny, Home daycare or Daycare Center you really needn't be overly concerned! A reputed National Institute of Child Health and Development study shows that it's not the type of care, but the quality of care, that really matters.More »

The Cannabis Cookbook has great intentions: Write some recipes that incorporate marijuana into tasty food. Medibles are an important alternative to smoking marijuana that many medical-marijuana recipients require. The thing is though, this book reads exactly like you expect it to--as if a bunch of stoners had gotten together, written down their favorite recipes, and gave them goofy names like "Far Out Spag" and "Ganja Goo Balls."
I knew there was going to be trouble when the brownie recipe said, "Now it's poured into a greased square oven pan (9 x 12 in/23 x 30 cm)." 9 by 12 inches does not a square oven pan make! And this is coming from a book that lists nearly every ingredient by weight AND volume. That is a level of accuracy saved for professional bakers, anal-retentive foodies, and drug dealers. Oh, wait . . .
The directions for each recipe sound like they were overheard on a campground at a dusty, smelly hippie-music festival: "The coffee gets heated on a low flame, until it threatens to bubble over, and then is removed quickly from the heat." Really? This is your cooking strategy? My trust in the quality and accuracy of this book finally ran out when the brownie batter needed not one but two square 9"x12" pans. A detail the author managed to miss.
The brownies were ALMOST a complete failure. They tasted like crappy, carob health-food-store brownies. I even went off recipe and used Valrhona baking chocolate, but followed the recipe when it called for two cups (that's 700g) of honey. Honey should have been my first warning to cook a different recipe. Brownies made with honey are like mayonnaise made with tofu. It can be done, but it's kind of a shitty alternative to the real thing. After the recommended 35 minutes of baking, those brownies were the texture of chair-cushion foam. Sure, the instructions warned against overcooking, but it didn't give any indicators to look for as the brownies baked (most cookbooks use the "insert a toothpick" technique).
What the brownies lacked in texture and flavor, however, they made up for in their ability to get you HIIIGHHH!!! The secret ingredient is cannabutter. Crush 2 ounces of dried marijuana leaves, mix them into melted butter (about a pound), and stir a few minutes until the butter is green. Strain and chill. This butter can be incorporated into any recipe that calls for butter. The brownie recipe in The Cannabis Cookbook called for 6 ounces of cannabutter per batch. One batch yielded about 32 brownies. Reports from my panel of testers say that one brownie does the trick. Two brownies incapacitate you for several blissful hours.
I don't think I will use the brownie recipe from The Cannabis Cookbook again. That being said, I can HIGHLY recommend the cannabutter recipe. It canna be used in any recipe that calls for butter. Next time, though, I'll use it in a well-tested and well-written recipe instead.
Read Part II of this week's Cooking the Books and a recipe from The Cannabis Cookbook.

The Moon
Last night I saw the moon up high
Far beyond any forest tree.
I saw him bathing in the stars
And decided to shine on me.
Flooding the land with silver glow,
Giving light to the darkest night;
He gave each thing a glowing crown
And filled the shadows with silver light.
Last night I saw the moon up high
Far beyond any forest tree.
And though he shone on other things,
He decided to shine on me.

I had to write a poem for my Literature class using personifications, metaphors, or similies, so this is what I came up with.
So pretty. Very beautiful. Wonderful job.
Wonderful, I really adore the moon.
Beautifully written
Wonderful little piece! It reminds me of the times that I'm outide on a clear moonlit evening.

Santa Monica News
SANTA MONICA—After Los Angeles County District Attorney's office's six day preliminary hearing, Daniel Becerril was bound over to stand trial before the Superior Court for the alleged 2008 murder of Santa Monica Resident Alexander Merman.
Merman, who went by Sasha, was a 35-year-old Russian born LAUSD elementary school teacher and artist. Merman was found stabbed to death in his condominium at 520 Montana Avenue on March 18, 2008.
During the subsequent four year investigation into the murder, authorities discovered that Becerril was the owner of AP Financial Group located in Huntington Beach. Becerril allegedly used the company to defraud a number of victims, including Merman, through real-estate and investment scams. For these reported crimes, Becerril faces 29 charges of grand theft, fraud and money laundering.
Merman, who was one of the primary targets of these scams according Santa Monica Police Department and Los Angeles County District Attorney press releases, reportedly gave Becerril a $250,000 loan prior to his murder. In addition to the loan, prosecutors suspect Becerril of laundering $300,000 out of Merman's investment accounts into accounts held by Becerril and AP financial. Sandra Soria, a second alleged victim of Becerril, was also defrauded out of a number of assets including her West Covina home.
Daniel Becerril remains in the custody of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department with bail set at 2.4 million dollars. His arraignment in Superior Court will take place on October 23, 2012 at Department 115 of the Criminal Courts Building.

I've spent so much time over the last three weeks gushing over the fantastic things Seattle has - Farmer's markets! Fresh shellfish! Soymilk! - that I didn't immediately notice what the restaurant scene was missing.
"Have you noticed how the chefs here don't wear chef jackets?," culinary educator Naomi Kakiuchi asked me when we met for lunch last week.
According to Kakiuchi, local chefs are so intent on appearing casual and earthy that they've ditched their uniforms. As she understands it, chefs have traded their starched coats for everyday shirts as a way of signaling their sincerity and closeness to their food.
This is all new to me: Back in Dallas, where I last worked, diners fretted about restaurants no longer requiring their customers to don jackets. An unbuttoned chef would have been unthinkable. Chefs there are so inextricably linked with their signature coats that I'll probably remember Dean Fearing's cowboy boot insignia and Scott Romano's striped shoulders long after I've forgotten their faces.
Dallas, no doubt, sits on the other extreme of the jacket spectrum - and suffers from all the conservatism associated with it. But Kakiuchi's question got me wondering whether jacket-shunning also has its disadvantages.
When I took culinary school classes, I loved my chef's jacket. I felt neat and professional wearing it, and - most importantly - I loved being able to splatter food without worrying about my clothes. If I was cooking in my own $45 shirt, I doubt I'd take so many chances in the kitchen. Could a liberated wardrobe end up constraining culinary creativity?
My meals here thus far suggest unjacketed chefs are faring just fine (although I don't envy their dry-cleaning bills.) And a restaurant supply expert tells me it's premature to declare the demise of the chef's jacket - even in Seattle.
"We sell tons of them to schools," Frank Roberts, account manager for The Seattle Restaurant Store, assures me.
