so i thought i'd be stopping bfing at 6 months, but now it's about 10 months and i'm starting to try to wean lo to the bottle/sippy cup. however, she doesn't like anything else other than bfing (she won't even try juice/water from a bottle/sippy cup/cup) and it's difficult to get her down for a nap at home. (but she will nap in her car seat when we're on the go sometimes) i just wanted to see how other moms get their babies to nap if not nursing them to sleep. thanks! also, i'd appreciate any ideas on how to teach baby to use a cup.
still nursing to sleep...
As for the sippy cup, sometimes he will drink, sometimes he will chew on it. Honestly he loves drinking a little water out of a glass better than a sippy. Maybe put a little juice in a cup and see if she'll drink it so she gets used to the taste, then try the sippy.

I don't usually nurse to sleep for naps, I just rock her and sing. But she usually naps shortly after breakfast and lunch. She does still nurse before bed for the night unless she falls asleep when Daddy is reading to her. I just gradually stopped offering before naps and she did okay with it. Sorry I know that's not much a technique.
As for the sippy, we're still working on that too, and have been since about 6months as well. I started by offering it to her around the time she would want to nurse. It took several months before she would take more than a couple sips. Even now she'll usually only drink 2-4 oz at a time (she's a small eater to begin with) I offer it several times a day. You could also try other types. We tried a bunch and have had the most luck with the Nuk trainer cup. We also noticed she was interested in what we were drinking from our cups so we would model on our cups how to do it.
But to be honest, its just been a lot of practice and patience.
I still nurse to sleep so I would be interested in techniques!

Nursing to sleep is a wonderful thing, IMO. What a peaceful way to drift off! The child will grow out of it when she is ready. The only sippy cups Adrian will use are the Grab and Go (cheapies, but he loves them) and the Tilty (but they spill a little). He doesn't like cups that make it difficult to get the water out.
The only thing that makes me not so worried about this because I too nurse to sleep for all naps during the day and at night is the fact that my sister did this and had no problems. Her children are 4, 2 and 4 months. She nursed her older two and co slept with both. She said at about 12 months they took off with solids and wanted BM much less. They sort of stopped waking as much at night and slowly it just stopped. Of course her two experiences arent the rule in relation to this but I am hopeful that this will be true for us too. We'll see I guess.

Expecting # 2 on February 13, 2012!!
This was an issue I was having too and I personally don't think nursing to sleep is good for the baby, it doesn't teach them good sleep habits and can be hard on Mommy too being used as a pacifier. Both my kids are/were bad sleepers so my only option to save my sanity was to nurse them to sleep so they would go to sleep but then I realized that when my daughter was 2 and still needed some type of crutch to go to sleep (bottle and or rubbing her back endlessly) I realized that teaching DS good sleep habit and not to rely in me was a good thing=) I started nursing DS with the lights on, tv going and DD squacking =). This way he didn't close his eyes, then when he was done I would hand him off to hubby to go lay him down. AS far as the sippy cup, DS didn't want anything to do with it either so we started filling the Nuby one with the silicone tip with water and letting him play with it while I made dinner, eventually he started drinking out of it. Good luck

I still nurse to sleep, however, I enjoy that peaceful time with my LO and don't see it as a problem. She wakes up once or twice at night, which I'm okay with because she usually goes right back to sleep. Lately I've even been able to put her down drowsy but awake.

"No one is FREE, who is a slave to their BODY"
I just started this 3 days ago and I am starting to see a change so I hope this helps. We used to do bath, book, song/nurse and rocking till he was asleep and then slowly and quietly try to put him down with out him waking. Well, he got to the point where as soon as I'd lay him down he would throw a full on temper tantrum and it would end up taking over an hour to get him to sleep. Then he would wake every hour or 2 all night. No joke and I would have to feed him to calm him. I am the mom who nurses on demand and picks him up everytime he even whines! But I haven't had a good nights sleep since he's been born. He just got worse than better and I was going insane. I can't do the cio. I personally just can't it kills me. Soo...... finally I just realized something needed to be done.
The first night he threw a temper tantrum and I walked out of the room. Not to let him cry himself to sleep but I was so exhausted and crying that I couldn't do it another night. So he cried for a minute and then I went back in and laid him down (not picking him up and rewarding him) and I just rubbed his head and said sshhhh.... Until he went to sleep. When he would wake in the night I wouldn't pick him up I would do the same thing. Every time he woke up I'd let him cry for a minute and then go in there and not pick him up and say "it's time to go to sleep.... ssshhhh" and just stand there and let him know that I'm there and love him (so he wasn't scared and all alone). Anyway.... Nap time if he threw a temper tantrum I let him cry for a min and then do the same thing. Then finally after the 3rd day which is today.... I did the routine and then laid him down tired but not sleeping and he rolled over and went to sleep on his own!!!!! I hope after a week we will get it down. Oh and by the way he only woke twice last night and once the night before. I can't believe it. This theory of mine actually worked. and I didn't feel bad cause I didn't have to make him cry to sleep. All though, I'm not saying anything bad on people that do the cio method at all!!!! It just makes me feel bad to do it personally. and I'm a stay at home mom so I've been able to put up with the no sleeping.

By coincidence, the Voracious crew has been bestowing a lot of praise on LloydMartin in Queen Anne. Yes, we've touted its social hour, Bolognese sauce, and feel as a first-rate first-date restaurant. And we just documented chef Sam Crannell's love of antique plateware.
The plateware is particularly interesting because some of it is rather feminine, but used to send out some traditionally masculine, meat-centric dishes. For example, when I last went in, Crannell was cooking meatball sliders, roast duck leg, bison Bolognese, and pork roast. The food is fantastic, which is why LloydMartin is worthy of all its recent accolades. I especially enjoyed the Garlic Pork Sausage, served with corn, fingerling, bacon, arugula, and mole.
So what does LloydMartin's garlic pork sausage teach us about sex?
It's all about the fingering.
Yes, I misread the menu when I first saw it. I've been doing that a lot lately when I see "fingerling." Maybe it's because I have "vagina" on my mind?
Recall that last week, two Michigan state representatives were banned from floor speech after comments they made condemning anti-abortion legislation. One, Lisa Brown, had emphatically stated, "I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but 'no' means 'no'"--stirring up national attention on the debate.
Republican Representative Mike Callton said that Brown's comment "was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company." Interesting, though, is that the word "vagina" appeared three times in the bill being debated--and that many Republicans have little difficulty saying "transvaginal ultrasound."
I like the ACLU of Michigan's response that if you can't say the word "vagina," you shouldn't legislate about it. Further, I believe that if women want to make a powerful political statement, they should deny men access to vaginas for some significant period of time. I bet these men will then see how misguided they are.
Just as many men are misguided about fingering.
Unless you're perfecting the "come hither" motion that lends itself to G-Spot stimulation, most women prefer stimulation of the clitoris instead of the vagina. Fingering can also refer to stimulation of the anus, an activity that both genders can enjoy and find arousing.
And given the close proximity of LloydMartin's fingerlings to that garlic pork sausage, I should add that there's lesser-known talk of fingering the penis. This doesn't mean around the man-sausage, but into it. Which proves, once again, that the menu of sexual pleasure is wide and varied. Just be informed and choose wisely.

Ecademy Visionaries - Jo Berry & Martin Dewhurst
There comes a time when you just have to salute some of the work that our wonderful Ecademy colleagues are doing. The ones who are doing something big for all of us, for the whole of humanity.While many of us are doing great work in our own niches, there are some of you who are unafraid of having a vision bigger than anything I could ever imagine. Of standing up to a world full of war, poverty and inequality and pushing for something so much better.And yet these people are so humble that they don't self-promote much, they don't blow their own trumpets, they're working away for the greater good without all the bells and whistles.Stand up Jo Berry and Martin Dewhurst. In a month where the spotlight is on London, leading up to a celebration of beating personal bests, and achieving individual dreams, I'd like to salute those who work at winning for all of us.Maybe when you both started, these things were mere dreams are visions. But day by day, we see your efforts translating into concrete and real change. Every time you achieve, I feel proud to know you, proud that Ecademy attracts these workers for humanity.It takes the most courage of all to fight from a place of humility. And yet I see you doing it. I can only hope that one day I have the courage to do the same.Ecademy is richer for people like Jo and Martin - we are all richer for people like Jo and Martin. I am also proud of the people on Ecademy who have kindly responded to requests for support for these great missions.Penny Power, Georgina Lester and Mike Seagall are some of the people who I know have given freely of their time, knowledge and support to help these great workers in forwarding their causes for peace and humanity. I am sure there are many others.

UK Has Art, Literature and, er, Niall Horan?- Cameron
VLADIMIR Putin apparently called Britain a 'small island no one listens to' - and now David Cameron has responded with a riposte, dragging Niall Horan into the diplomatic tiff for good measure.
The British prime minister, speaking at the G20 in St Petersburg, dismissed the Russian premier's remarks - attributed to his official spokesman - and instead reeled off a long list of Britain's achievements, even citing the Mullingar singer's band One Direction as an example of British dominance.
The summit descended into acrimony as Russia was accused of mocking the UK's size and influence, and boasted that Soviet oligarchs had 'bought Chelsea'.
As Downing Street called on the Russians to 'reflect' on what had been said, the Kremlin attempted to deny any such remarks had ever been uttered.
But that apparently failed to satisfy Mr Cameron, who said Britain could stand taller in the world than the former Soviet Union.
And included in his defence of his country he noted: 'Our music delights and amuses millions, The Beatles, Elgar and slightly less er... congruously, One Direction have conquered the world.' It's unclear if Horan was aware that he was indirectly mentioned in the international squabble - but he certainly made his allegiance clear on Twitter last night, posting a picture of himself in an Ireland jersey at the Aviva Stadium for the Ireland versus Sweden game with the caption, 'Guess where I'm from? …

Library could use new leadership
Published: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Library Director Bill Snyder has never stood up to the Library Board and county commissioners when they err, nor provided the library system with a moral and directional leadership, preferring instead to be a functionary.
Snyder failed to stand up to the Library Board and county commissioners when they erred in renovating our present library rather than providing a new one.
Later, when the Library Board took action to censor the movie video The Blair Witch Project at the request of a fundamentalist minister, Snyder failed to take a moral stand against censorship and failed to warn Library Board members of the inherent dangers in library censorship. History has shown library censorship to be a catalyst for more serious forms of censorship.
And throughout his tenure, Snyder failed to take a moral stand against an immoral policy denying Mills River's branch library volunteers an honest day's wages for an honest day's labor.
In the last analysis, our community needs a new public library director who will provide moral and directional leadership, as well as champion a more just and humane library policy for staff and patrons alike.

Before we go to the winning girls' movie "Her Majesty," let's use last week's news as a reminder of another great family movie we've written about in the past, "Searching for Bobby Fischer."
Fischer's death in Iceland reminded the world of his genius and his troubled and troubling mind. He was America's only chess hero, yet late in life praised the Sept. 11 attacks and spouted anti-Semitism. The mystery of Fischer's talent and torment adds depth to "Searching for Bobby Fischer," about a young New York chess prodigy who doesn't want his genius to ruin his life.
On a lighter note, you can send your 8- to 12-year-old girls off to watch the quirky New Zealand film "Her Majesty." Join them in the family room for the opening scenes if you need a reminder that New Zealand must be the most beautiful country on Earth — director Mark Gordon's lush shots of pastures, gardens, a distant ocean and even a bright red mailbox make you long for a visit.
Sally Andrews plays plucky Elizabeth Wakefield, who in 1953 has a shrine to Queen Elizabeth II in her bedroom. She pines for a touch of the royal hand, and when the queen announces a New Zealand visit that may put her small town on the itinerary, Elizabeth swoons.
That plot becomes intertwined with the town's poor treatment of an aging Maori woman in a run-down house, who holds justifiable grudges over who stole Maori land long ago.
"Her Majesty" has its comedic moments showcasing small- town eccentrics, but also has a serious side. Sometimes the meanness is a bit over the top — Elizabeth has a cruel brother whose high jinks edge into the criminal. Overall, though, it's a nice study of a young girl's happy obsession.

Actors shooting for "Jamuna Paar" and other soaps on Imagine TV are shocked at the sudden decision of the Hindi entertainment channel to shut down.
Many were busy shooting for their serials when they got the jolting news and say it will leave employees of the channel without their livelihood.
Imagine TV, which aired some of the most talked about shows like "Rakhi Ka Swayamwar", "Zor Ka Jhatka" and "Raaz Pichhle Janam Ka", went off the air Thursday.
Ankur Verma and Vidhi Parekh, lead actors of "Jamuna Paar", are shocked and hoping for some miracle.
"I got to know after the statement was released Thursday by Turner, around 1.30 p.m. when we were shooting for the show. The entire team has been working very hard, so the news was very shocking for all of us," Ankur told IANS.
Vidhi said she was not expecting this.
"The news of the channel shutting down was a big time shock. Who will expect something like this when you are happily shooting for your show? 'Jamuna Paar' is life for me. The shoot stopped yesterday, but I hope the channel starts again and we are back to work. It is very unfortunate and I feel sad. There were so many cute and interesting things lined up for the viewers," she said.
Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific, Inc, Thursday announced the decision to shut Imagine TV and Imagine Dil Se stating that the channels did not perform and grow in line with the expectations.
Turner currently operates HBO, CNN, Cartoon Network, POGO, WB, TCM and Boomerang in India.
According to FICCI-KPMG report, Imagine's "Dharam Patni", "Zor Ka Jhatka" and "Ratan Ka Rishta" were among the top 10 fictional and non-fictional shows launched in 2011, but none of them managed to garner TRPs.
Ankita Sharma, who plays Preeto in "Sawaare Sabke Sapne - Preeto", says it will leave many unemployed.
"I was shocked when I got the news, but it's part of life. No one can do anything about it. It will bring a change in life. But I feel bad for the channel's employees who are now unemployed. I just hope everyone gets something better," Ankita told IANS.
The channel was launched in India Jan 21, 2008 as NDTV Imagine, by the NDTV group in partnership with NBC Universal. In 2010, Turner acquired NDTV's stake in Imagine.
The channel made an impressive start with shows like "Ramayan", "Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi", "Say Shaava Shaava", "Jasuben Jayantilaal Joshi Ki joint Family", "Kitani Mohobbat Hai", but in the later years it couldn't managed to get satisfactory TRPs.

Sam Thaiday has been ruled out of State of Origin II in Sydney
- From: The Courier-Mail
- June 08, 2012
A SHOULDER injury has ruled Queensland forward Sam Thaiday out of State of Origin II in Sydney.
Thaiday left the Queensland State of Origin camp this morning to seek further treatment on a shoulder injury sustained in last Sunday's match against Newcastle.
The Broncos captain will be in the hands of the club's medical staff as they assess the next course of action.
Origin in-depth: See our special section
Thaiday thought he could get himself right for Origin II in Sydney next Wednesday and did everything right in terms of rehab at the Maroons camp at Coolum.
But this morning he told team management he did not think he could do the right thing by the team.
His Broncos teammate Corey Parker was due to return to Brisbane today to prepare for Sunday's match against the Roosters in Sydney but instead will remain with the Maroons and shapes as the new starting second-rower.
A decision is yet to be made on a new 18th man.
Will SuperCoach legend Parker now not available for the Broncos this weekend, who should you pick as captain? Check out Tom Sangster's blog.

Traditionally lighthouses have served as beacons for ships sailing in the night – today these popular structures serve as beacons for beach-goers and sight-seers. And Georgia's historic lighthouses are no exception: these gorgeous structures all have unique stories and make for fantastic photo ops!
Tybee Island Lighthouse
Standing tall at the entrance to the Savannah River, the Tybee Island Lighthouse is one of only seven surviving colonial era lighthouses. James Oglethorpe, Georgia's founding father, ordered the construction of the light station that would survive hurricanes, earthquakes and being burned by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Today the tower continues to serve as a guide for ships, in addition to housing a museum of Tybee Island's history. Visitors can also climb to the top for a gorgeous view.
St. Simons Island Lighthouse
Commissioned by the federal government, the St. Simons Island Lighthouse still serves as a warning for ships entering the St. Simons Sound. Though the tower no longer requires a keeper to greet guests, the panoramic view of the Golden Isles from the top provides visitors an unforgettable experience. The Keeper's Dwelling and Museum illustrate the life of a lighthouse keeper and the history of the Golden Isles.
Sapelo Island Lighthouse
Sitting on the island that serves as a modern epicenter of Gullah culture, the Sapelo Island Lighthouse is the nation's second-oldest brick lighthouse. Originally built in 1820, the tower was replaced in 1905 and later reconstructed to its original structure in the 1930s. The lighthouse is no longer active, but visitors can visit the lighthouse on a tour of Sapelo Island led by Georgia State Parks.
Cockspur Island Lighthouse
Located at the South Channel of the Savannah River, the Cockspur Island Lighthouse is considered part of Fort Pulaski. Situated in the direct line of fire of Union and Confederate troops during the defeat of Fort Pulaski, the lighthouse miraculously suffered minimal damage. Instead the structure would fall victim to flooding and today is only accessible via kayak or small boat. Along with the rest of the Fort, the lighthouse is included on the National Register of Historic Places.
Little Cumberland Island Lighthouse
The only one of Georgia's five surviving historic lighthouses not open to the public, the light station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Two towers were built on Little Cumberland Island: the one to the south with a revolving light and the one to the north, which remains, with a fixed light to mark the Satilla River and St. Andrew Sound. The lighthouse is no longer active, but has been well preserved by the Little Cumberland Island Association.
In addition to the five surviving historic lighthouses, Georgia boasts several other nautical lighting fixtures:
Sapelo Island Range Front
While on a tour of Sapelo Island, visitors can also view the front beacon situated at the southern tip of the island. Though inactive now, the beacon historically helped guide mariners within the range of the island's lighthouse.
Savannah Old Harbor Light
This cast iron light was erected as the rear range light to guide vessels from Fig Island Lighthouse into Savannah. Six ships had been sunk during the Revolutionary War to provide a naval buffer, and the Old Harbor Light was utilized to avoid these wrecks. After renovations in the early 21st century, the light was re-erected in Emmet Park on Bay Street.
West Point Lake Lighthouse
Situated right on the Georgia-Alabama line on West Point Lake, this ornamental tower provides beautiful 'Kodak moments' from the middle of the lake or for visitors to Maple Creek Park in LaGrange.

Thin Wheat Line is a survey of noodles in Seattle.
Noodle: Hiyashi kitsune
Source: Koji Osakaya, 89 University St. (at Post Alley), 583-0980.
Price: $7.95
It's not hard to find zaru soba, or cold buckwheat noodles with a light soy dipping sauce, in Seattle. Hell, it's not hard to make them, either. Boil noodles. Chill. Mix dipping sauce of soy sauce, dashi, and mirin. Grate some daikon to dab on top. Serve.
But last week it was too hot to even think of boiling water and heating up dashi, so Erika Hobart and I walked over to Koji, the odd little Japanese restaurant on the Harbor Steps with the overly cheap sushi happy hour and an odd mix of Japanese tourists and Seattle office workers sitting at the tables. Koji also offers one of the largest selections of cold soba dishes in the city, including hiyashi kitsune soba, aka "cold fox" noodles.The "cold," of course, refers to the noodles, but the "fox" refers to the fact that foxes supposedly love the little pile of deep-fried tofu slices on top. (To diverge for a second, according to Erika, who grew up in Japan, the Japanese divide people into foxes and raccoons based on the shapes of their faces. The counterpart to Koji's hayashi kitsune is its hiyashi tanuki, or "cold raccoon" soba, though here tanuki is a pun referring to tempura-batter bits the cooks sprinkle on the soba noodles.)
As simple as the concept is, Koji's regular zaru soba (left) was underwhelming, the noodles a titch soft, the sauce a titch powerful, with nothing else in the bowl to hide the flaws.
The hayashi kitsune, in contrast, was more like a cold noodle bibimbap, the soba bathed in a sweet, light soy-based sauce and covered in finely shaved toppings. It's unclear whether the foxes would also like green onions, julienned sweet omelet, fish cake slivers, cucumber threads, wakame, and grated radish, but I did -- they shivered and sparked in the mouth, alternatingly creamy and crunchy, brightening up the sober buckwheat flavor of the noodles.
Since foxes appear to be omnivores who don't know when to stop eating, I suspect they'd probably finish off the bowl, too. How do foxes stay so skinny? There's a best-selling diet book in there, if anyone cares to investigate.

BCD's are an essential part of scuba diving gear. They look like an elaborate life jacket, yet are much more functional. A BCD harnesses the tank to your back, contains a back pack and is inflatable if necessary. All of the diving gear is anchored to the scuba BCD.
The two most common styles of BCD are the Jacket and wing styles. The vest is inflatable, wraps around your front where it buckles. The wing contains an air cell that is located alongside the tank. These balloons balance the buoyancy in the back because weight is distributed more toward the front. Remember that your BCD can be adjusted to individual buoyancies based on depth, body weight and density. They are graded on lift capacity, or the amount of weight each one can keep afloat.
The BCD should not be of tighter fit than most other scuba apparel and should not squeeze or inhibit breathing. They should have a proper lift capacity suited based on environmental requirements, quick release straps, and pressure-release valves within reach.
Scuba computers, or dive computers, perform the task of nitrogen management inside a digital device. The software gauges the absorption of gases and can enhance your dive experience by calculating nitrogen management. This is very common tool in the world of recreational diving.
A dive computer will keep track of depth and time you spend underwater, compute the amount of nitrogen present in the your body, and will alert you if levels are too high, guiding you to decompression. This computerized depth tracking allows the diver to stay deeper in the water for a longer period of time.
Some important things to consider when choosing to purchase a dive computer include recognizable manufacturers and consumer guides, ability to handle other mixes of gas, lit and easy-to-read interface, and buttons that are large, spaced apart, and easy to press while wearing neoprene gloves.
Snorkels may seem like a hindrance to both the scuba diver who is just starting out as well as the experienced scuba diver. Most are not functionally idyllic, and if they are, they tend to be cumbersome. Purge valves in the snorkel are necessary for clearing the water out but they add excessive weight to the mask. A simple, streamlined snorkel without a valve will not suffice for the avid scuba diver. The tube can easily become a water passageway resulting in a healthy swig of saltwater! So who needs them?
Everyone who scuba dives! Regardless of how great of physical condition a diver is in, he or she can quickly fatigue without the use of a snorkel. In 2005, DAN (Divers Alert Network) reported that exhaustion was the number-one culprit in the majority of diving deaths. One must consider what can happen if equipment fails during a surface dive: drifting away from the boat, broken fin straps, an unsalvageable regulator, and BCD failure can create a perilous scenario if no snorkel is available for back up.
So whether you are a novice or a seasoned scuba diver, always include a snorkel as part of your diving gear. Think of it as a crutch you can lean on in the event of an equipment failure.
A scuba tank is made out of steel or aluminum. The latter costs less and is more common, however, but they wear down much quicker than steel. Steel tanks are bit pricier but more substantial when it comes to durability. The only problem with steel tanks is they tend to rust.
Tank size is based on tank size needed to complete a specific task or dive profile, deeper diving you will need more air . The most commonly used tank holds 80 cubic feet of air and the capacity is filled to 3000 psi. They can range from 3 cubic feet "pony tanks" to very large 120 cubic feet tanks. The size needed is based on dive profile, not gender or size.
The pony tank has gained quite a bit of notoriety not as the main source of air consumption, but as a back-up source. It can clasp onto the diving gear with separate regulators and gauges. If any equipment malfunctions, the pony tank holds enough air to perform ascension to the surface of the water. It is useful as an emergency back up air supply only.
As you can see, tanks are yet another critical part of the scuba diver's list of necessities. You should do a thorough search to find the tank that best fits your needs.
Swim fins are one of the greatest inventions of diving gear to date. Without them, more energy must be exerted making long sessions of scuba diving next to impossible. Fins allow you to glide through the water with less energy and swim faster.
There are many types of fins to choose from: some include curved, webbed, flexible, split, and stiff. Fins will fit differently on every person, so experiment to find the one that is the perfect fit for you. They should not cause leg cramps after long bouts of swimming nor should they squeeze your heels or toes.
It is best that scuba fins are worn over neoprene scuba booties. Booties offer padding and protection so that fins can be strapped easily to your feet. If you are looking at scuba diving as becoming a long-term hobby, it is very crucial that you purchase high-quality scuba fins. The material that fins are made of varies as much as style, but they must be able to withstand saltwater, sun, and sand.
Masks are a critical part of scuba diving apparel. There are many sizes and shapes to pick from that offer a variety of options for vision. A 3-pane lens contains a fron lens and left and right side windows. A 4-pane mask separates the front lens in two pieces with windows on the right and left side. Although these two types are the most common, some divers prefer single or 2-pane lenses because they are the most comfortable. They are of lower volume, which is a positive characteristic when diving scuba because there is less space to equalize or clear when flooding.
The shape of the mask is the most important factor as it must accommodate the shape of your face. The skirt must contain top quality-rubber or silicone that will ensure longevity for the life of the mask. Because only full face or diving helmets will anti-fog themselves, you must apply anti-fog drops to your mask. It should not be too large or too small, so you are able to purge the mask effectively. The straps on scuba masks can be in a single or double strap design. The single wraps around the center of the head while a double wraps around the top part and lower part of the head.
A great way to tell if your mask is well suited to you is to hold it up to your face without the straps, inhale through your nose only, and hold your breath. If it sticks to your face and you don't hear any hissing sound of air leaking, it fits. It must not leak but it must be comfortable to wear.
The wetsuit is arguably the most important piece of apparel worn during any scuba diving excursion. It must adhere to the body so as to allow easy movement under water. If the wetsuit is not form-fitting, it will hinder your ability to swim freely. The most important reason for a well-fitting wetsuit is that if it fits loosely the water exchange in and out of the suit will be too quick and rapidly cool the body instead of keeping the diver warm. You will expend energy, use more air, absorb more nitrogen and ultimately shorten your dive time in a best case scenario. In a worse case scenario, you can experience hypothermia and or decompression illness.
One very important feature to watch out for when purchasing a wetsuit is the ability to turn your arms in a full circle with no constriction. It must be snug but not uncomfortable. Most suits are made of neoprene material which can be helpful when a diver is experiencing acute conditions in the water. This includes adjusting to temperature changes in the water and protection from cuts, scrapes, and jellyfish. In order to attain the most protection while remaining comfortable, the wetsuit should have 5mm of neoprene thickness throughout, double lined, and 5mm of steamers as well. A suit needs to be picked based on dive environment only -- this is why a large variety of millimeters is used by all divers and no one suit will be appropriate for every excursion.
Those divers with more discriminating tastes might be compelled to buy a suit with Titanium lining. This can be found between the neoprene and inside the lining of the wetsuit. Titanium is very beneficial because it will prevent heat from escaping the body as well as cold getting inside.

Field reps support Soldiers using devices that determines an individual's identity
July 8, 2008
By Ms. Jennifer M Caprioli (IMCOM)
Depot Field Support Representatives (FSR) are now providing Soldiers with training, troubleshooting and upgrades for Handheld Interagency Identification Detection Equipment (HIIDE) in Southwest Asia.
HIIDEs are portable devices that combine iris, fingerprint and face biometrics to help determine an individual's identity. Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data. HIIDES are being used to identify Iraqi and Afghani citizens to distinguish friend from foe.
An individual's irises are captured from left to right, all 10 digits are recorded for fingerprints, and their face is captured as if they were having a photo taken. Biographical data such as first and last name, street address, state, zip code, gender and date of birth is also collected to accompany the biometrics. This information is saved to a database called the Biometric Automated Toolset System.
There are several thousand HIIDES in theater, and they have been in the field for over a year, says Alex Radkiewicz, a logistics management specialist in the Business Management Directorate's Commodity Management Division.
Before the arrival of the FSRs, depot Forward Repair Activities located in Southwest Asia supported the program by serving as direct exchange sites for the HIIDE program.
Through visits and meetings with personnel from the Army Space Program Office (ASPO), Radkiewicz introduced this mission to the depot. He said the depot was fulfilling an important role in supporting this program by providing FSRs.
HIIDEs were purchased and fielded as a quick-reaction initiative to get critical capabilities into the hands of the Soldier. As a result, there wasn't time to put normal maintenance and support processes in place or time to train Soldiers in its use at Army schools. Depot FSRs are helping to fill those gaps, he adds.
In April, five depot employees attended one week of HIIDE training at ASPO in Alexandria, Va., followed by another week of hands-on training at SecuriMetrics Incorporated in Martinez, Calif. They were trained on how to transfer data to and from the HIIDE and how to work the Biometric Automated Toolset System.
"Each FSR found the training interesting and we've received nothing but good feedback from them about it," says Rich Sokoloski, Forward Repair Activity project officer, Forward Repair Activity Division, Command, Control and Computer Systems/Avionics Directorate.
Their duties include traveling to units to provide one-for-one exchange of the HIIDE device, provide training to units and troubleshoot devices.
They attempt to resolve troubleshooting issues, but if they cannot repair it they will exchange the device for a working one. They also distribute new software and provide upgrades to the HIIDEs. While with the units, they will formulate future plans so all HIIDEs receive new software upgrades/patches.
"It's helpful if the FSRs have prior experience with computerized systems; but because complete training is provided, they don't need any specialized skills," says Radkiewicz.
When a damaged HIIDE device is brought to an FSR, they automatically provide the unit with another HIIDE. They will test the device and attempt to duplicate the problem so they can repair it. If no damage is evident, the FSR will store the HIIDE device until it is needed by another unit.
"Equipment is prepositioned at each site, so if repairs cannot be completed they will have a direct exchange," says Sokoloski. If testing reveals damage, the FSR will ship the device to the lead FSR, who will ship it to the Original Equipment Manufacturer for repair.
"If the Soldiers have complications, we'll be there to help them," explains Sokoloski.
Sokoloski and Radkiewicz agree that the biggest challenge with this mission was finding volunteers to quickly deploy to SWA. They hope this program will encourage other employees to consider volunteering for deployment.
Tobyhanna Army Depot is the Defense Department's largest center for the repair, overhaul and fabrication of a wide variety of electronics systems and components, from tactical field radios to the ground terminals for the defense satellite communications network. Tobyhanna's missions support all branches of the Armed Forces.
About 5,800 personnel are employed at Tobyhanna, which is located in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania.
Tobyhanna Army Depot is part of the U.S. Army CECOM Life Cycle Management Command. Headquartered at Fort Monmouth, N.J., the command's mission is to research, develop, acquire, field and sustain communications, command, control, computer, intelligence, electronic warfare and sensors capabilities for the Armed Forces.

Creating a Plugin for Joomla
From Joomla! Documentation
Just a few things I noticed should be cleared up.
As you can see, the system is similar to other Joomla! XML installation files. You only have to look out for the group="xxx" entry in the <install> tag and the extended information in the <filename> tag. This information tells Joomla! into which folder to copy the file and to which group the plugin should be added.
The XML is indeed similar to the other 2.5 Joomla XML Installation Files, however;
- Note that the <install> tags are now <extension>
- Group type is <extension version="2.5" type="plugin" group="search"> instead of <install version=... >
Also, would be awesome to see an end plugin there, or an alternative tutorial such as Creating a Search Plugin - Bladeoz

I've used the Ergo organic, Boba 3G, and Beco Butterfly II for back carries, and I definitely prefer the Boba. It feels most secure for my toddler, doesn't have the extra harness of the Beco that I found kind of in-the-way for a toddler. It comes up higher and has the foot stirrups.
By the way, I can still sometimes wear my 30+ pound 2-year-old in the Boba, despite being 28 weeks pregnant. As long as my sciatica isn't acting up, I can comfortably wear him for about an hour still.

text: The Placer Sentinel published its final edition this week. Publisher Janice Forbes and CEO Bob Evans announced the closure in the Jan. 22 issue. "After looking at our end-of-the-year financials and the probability of the economy hopping back soon, we have reluctantly decided to cease publishing the Placer Sentinel for the time being," Forbes, Evans and Editor Donna Lach said in the notice. … Publishing a small newspaper has been enjoyable in the past and we're sure it will eventually be so again. We hope to be around when it is." The late Tom Homer started the Auburn weekly in 1990, selling it to Forbes and Evans a few years later. Homer, who later became the editor of the Colfax Record, died in 2004. Forbes also publishes Sierra Heritage magazine. She founded the Sierra Business Council and chairs the Placer Community Foundation board of directors. Don Chaddock, editor of the Folsom and El Dorado Hills Telegraph newspapers, was the editor of the Sentinel from 2003 to September 2008. "I was not surprised," Chaddock said about the paper's closure. "The Sentinel had been struggling, along with many other newspapers, and that is what prompted me to leave. It's sad, because I really poured my heart into that paper for a long time. I was very involved in the community for the newspaper, so it is sad day to see it go." Auburn City Councilman Kevin Hanley's column, "Common Sense," appeared weekly in the paper. "I was given a chance the last eight years to write a column for the Sentinel and I wrote more than 450 columns for them," he said Wednesday. "It was a nice way to get issues and ideas out and get feedback from people who read the column and agreed or disagreed with it. It was a fun process to look at local issues and people and write about them. I had a good time. That's for sure." — Gloria Young

Peacock 2 by LaurenGibsonWatch

First of all, well done! This photo is breathtaking on several accounts. The eyelashes were striking in this photo. They did not look over done with mascara nor did they look fake and phony. The lips were a good color for this vision and again, did not look blotchy, to shiny, or sticky. I think it was wise to not make the lips shiny. I love the blue blush and blue eyebrows for several reasons. The shade of blue you chose fit the vision of this photo well. The blue on the cheeks was not overkill because it was placed tastefully on and not over applied. The blue eyebrows brought the color of your eyes out. The eyes did not look empty as I have seen with many photos. Well done.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
17 out of 17 deviants thought this was fair.

So.. how much is in your account right now???
me and DF dont share accounts so in my personal account i have a total of $4 and have had only that much since January since i was laid off from work. and as for his accound he has about $80 but he also gets paid weekly and each check so far have been about $300 so we have some money but not much.
Tina married to Tom 1/21/2011, Serenity�Rose, Cody James.http://www.formspring.me/TinaMarie923
I have NEVER had 500.00 in my bank account unless it was tax time. As soon as we get paid...its GONE! We have like 20.00 to last us until Thursday....
I got my hour's slashed big time in Jan/Feb. (whole other story) and was shoved to on-call. Now I'm off work and on mod. bedrest and unemployment ended last weekend for me. This pay period for us is a little tight. Hubby has a good job but our bills eek. I don't even know what we have in the account at the moment and don't want to know until next week. I told hubby tonight that the only thing coming out of the account better be for gas. I'm hoping that when I go back to work and the new hospital built I can get full/part time work. Slowly getting things paid off. His mom and dad are going to pay the power bill while I am off work. That'll be $200 extra a month and furniture is almost paid off so that'll be another $100 starting next month. Yes and in 19 months we'll have even more money when the pick up and trailer are paid off. It stinks but heck we'll be fine. It's just hard and stressful at times.
minus 70 bucks. but I will hold off my mortgage payment until next payday so I don't actually over-draw. The thing that sucks is that I haven't bought a thing for this pregnancy yet. I have all the stuff from DD#1 so I don't really NEEEED anything, but there are some things that I want to buy to make life a little easier. Sigh.
In 2000 he stole my heart at 15. In 2004 I stole his last name.

This is a guess after pending transactions have gone through... 400. I still have a few bills to pay though, and money I am waiting on from my flexispend daycare acct. That will put me at about 250 when all is said and done. Just as long as I dont eat and drive myself out of house and car.
I am so sorry to hear about your struggles and was there at one point in my life as well. All I can tell you is that money was the stem of all my ex-husband and my problems, which caused really bad fights and then he turned to booze, drugs and other women. The only advice I can give is to just talk about it and make a strong plan - do not let it cause fights and push you apart (not that it is - I am just speaking from experience).
I so remember livign from paycheck to pay check - but if you really put your mind to it and put together a solid plan (mine unfortunately was put together for myself after a divorce) you will make it! I went back to school, got my masters and now with benefits make over 6 figures.
Wow, I feel kinda rich at this point. I have about $1500 in there and everything is paid up until the end of the month. Weekly paycheck of $650 from hubby (after he keeps his share for gas & lunches and stuff which is about $250) and I get paid at the end of the month $2500. I've been sticking a little away when I can and the in-laws just gave me $500 to help out. I sure can't wait til July when I get raise though : )
I hit the submit button too soon..I just wanted to say to all who are a little short on funds..hang in there...we had a rough time last year because hubby is in construction and things sucked until some big commercial projects started up. It will get better and God will provide. We are greatful that we finally have gotten caught up and have a little in the bank--you'll get there too !
I am astonished at these balances. I had no idea. After reading this, I feel very guilty that we have plenty in our accounts... is that weird??
Right now there is $1,100 in the account, but I've got to pay my $200 cell phone bill, and get anniversary gifts for 2 different couples (SIL & her husband and MIL and her husband).. all and all not too bad BUT, i got to buy a new car.. so i'll be having car payments again and a lot less cushion there..

Your not alone girls! My husband and I both have good jobs but I have been off work on bedrest for about a month (little guys is coming Thursday..whaoo!) and money has been tight, tight, tight! We had a few unexpected home expenses and the money we had in savings, about $3500, for my maternity leave is almost gone, only about $1000 left and I haven't even had the baby yet! If we paid all the bills stacked up we would be in the negative for our checking account. We are paying everything last minute and probably have about $50-$200 in checking from week to week and I have been clipping cupons like crazy ;) It has def been paycheck to paycheck, trying not to get too stressed out about it cause really there is nothing we can do about it, we have cut back almost as much as possible, next will be internet and cable which I feel is my life line on bedrest but it is really difficult when you get the mail and theres another bill. Just trying to focus on our little one coming...hey, i guess thats what credit cards are for, and i'll have to worry about it later. Hang in there everyone!

Blog: First-and-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog dedicated to the Denver Broncos.
Monday morning, Wayne Hanson was an ordinary pastor of a small but growing evangelical Castle Rock congregation, but by Wednesday, he was being mistakenly referred to as Bronco Tim Tebow's personal pastor — and receiving the scorn usually reserved for the quarterback himself.
What changed? Why the sudden popularity and infamy?
A seemingly benign interview with the Los Angeles-based tabloid website TMZ yielded an article that set social media aflame: "Pastor Wayne Hanson — who runs Summit Church in Castle Rock, CO, where Tim's dad often speaks — tells TMZ God is actively intervening in Denver Broncos football games . . . and aiding Tim on the field because of his strong faith."
While it made for a provocative story, Hanson, 42, said it is untrue and he is now left to reap a controversy he didn't sow.
"I don't think God cares about who wins a football game," he said. "I do think he cares about people. . . . I do think Tim has favor from God in his life, but that is there, win or lose."
The TMZ story got shortened and distorted on social media and picked up by media outlets all over the country — including The Denver Post — and inaccurately tagged Hanson, a Green Bay Packers fan, as "Tim Tebow's pastor."
On Wednesday, Hanson replaced his Facebook profile picture with a shot of the Rev. Tim Lovejoy, the preacher on "The Simpsons" TV show "because that's how I am being portrayed — as this symbol of Christianity that's ridiculous."
Hanson said the saga began with a phone call Monday from a TMZ reporter claiming the organization was looking for commentary on Tim Tebow's faith from "seven or eight local pastors."
Two days later, Hanson was receiving calls from friends who heard his name mentioned on media outlets such as Yahoo and ESPN.
Hanson believes the quantum leap from mild-mannered pastor to Tebow family confidant can be traced to a YouTube clip. In 2010, News4 did a story about Hanson's congregation, when Tebow's dad, Bob, was in town to preach and speak at a youth rally.
He said that is the only visit any Tebow has made to the church since the congregation started in 2007, but he thinks it was the fodder TMZ used to find him.
"It's not that we have no connection, but it is offensive to them (the Tebows) to call me their pastor because I'm not," he said. "If Tim has a pastor at all right now, it's his dad."
