What is it? How does it work? Is it good/bad?
I need all the info I can get if anyone can help me please!
Dang...I was hoping for replies over here!
We tried BLW with DD. Basically, you skip purees and just let them use their hands to eat manageable food items. The idea is to let the baby decide how much to eat. In my daughter's case, she decided to eat nothing. She didn't take to it but she also didn't take to purees. She still doesn't eat much food ....
Anyway, that's the gist of it. I posted about it on my board back in the day of first foods.
I know a lot people who've had great success with BLW. My kid just isn't a fan of food in general.
Basically baby-led weaning is totally skipping the purees, and putting bits of food in front of them and letting baby choose what and how much to eat. I see no issues with it at all as long as baby is either BF or bottle feeding well and you are NOT cutting out any BF or bottle sessions just in case baby does not eat much food.
I have never deliberately set out to baby-led wean. However, I've been forced into it a bit by DD. I introduced purees (homemade ones) to DD around 6 months. She barely took them, wouldn't open her mouth for all but a couple flavors (pears, apples). She did take them at daycare three days a week, but was also a struggle for the daycare providers. So I started feeding her bits of food instead. She took to that much easier. By 8-9 months I wasn't feeding her any purees at all and she was eating solid food. To this day (she's a week and a half shy of 12 months) she still won't take a spoon from me, so she eats yogurt and mashed potatoes with her hands. I have a bunch of friends with babies the same age and they are still eating a ton of purees, which now seems strange to me! LOL She eats the same food I eat (other than steak and pork which are too tough without molars). Makes dinner prep a lot easier, that's for sure!
From what I've read, many parents who want to baby-led wean start food a bit later 7-8 months or so because many babies refuse to feed themselves until then. Makes me wonder about introducing food to my next baby, I might go this route, and let the baby choose when to start eating solids.
We did this with my son, and it was SO much easier than the puree route with my daughter. Kellymom has a section on it, and suggests food to give them. I mostly did large (baby fist) size chunks of food. That way I could even give him steak and harder foods, as he would just gnaw on it. The important part is that the pieces are either small enough not to choke on, or too big to get all the way into their mouths.
Oh, and I still fed after nursing to start with, and kept nursing as our main source of nutrients until 1 yr.
We did this with Aaron (currently about to turn 10 months). He did great. I recommend checking out the facebook group "baby led weaning - let your babies feed themselves" https://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/BabyLedWeaningLetYourBabiesFeedThemselves
There is a lot of good info there. but like others have said you basically skip purees and go to table food. many pure followers of BLW feed baby everything the family eats. that isn't always feasible at our house due to certain dishes that were either spicy or hard to eat or take out food on late work nights :oops:
It is typically easiest to start with stick or spear shaped things that baby can easily hold in their fist and bring to mouth. at first baby will just gnaw on it, taste it, play with it, and eventually (some babies take longer than others) will start to get some food. for hard things like apples and carrots, for example, I put them in some water in the microwave to steam them so they were softer, but other things like melon, peaches, bread, crackers, pasta, I gave to him straight up. Now that he has got the hang of things, including picking up smaller things, I sometimes give him pieces rather than a large piece that he can gnaw on (mostly b/c it is not as messy). Be prepared for mess...it is part of the learning process, lol. also be prepared for gagging (not choking but gagging), as babies have a very far forward gag reflex and this is okay...it might alarm you, but don't freak out or baby will get scared. gagging is normal as baby is learning how to move the food around and teaches them not to choke, to clear their food, move it around. with some practice, the gag reflex will not be so far forward.
all babies are different and take time, but my little one, aaron, who does BLW is a great eater...eats a good variety, great fine motor skills, etc. my older one didn't do BLW and he is pretty picky...but that could be an age thing too. when we started this with him around 6 months, i thought i would be wiping up messes and having him get next to no food in him FOREVER...but he learned quickly and is able to polish off a good amount of food now
sorry that was somewhat all over the place, but i hope it helped...feel free to ask more specific stuff. oh the other thing that helped that someone else suggested was to look up BLW videos on youtube. those were helpful.
That's from my blog about our experiences. Aiden eats almost everything we do. He's starting to get a bit pickier, but that's pretty much all toddlers. Lol. Tonight he had pizza for dinner (as in I sat a slice down in front of him and he figured out how to eat it). For the most part I do try to make our meals Aiden friendly. On my blog I post all of my dinner menus so you can see mostly what we've given him over the months.
Wow.. I had no idea about this. I learned something!
I thought that baby led weaning was simply THEM ending the breastfeeding relationship instead of mom cutting out sessions slowly until not offering any more. I had no idea it was a solid food deal, too.

Technically the introduction of solid foods is supposed to signal the start of weaning from BM/forula. BLW is letting the child decide when they want to start eating and letting them lead on how much. Therefore, they decide when to eat more food and when to BF less. Most babies won't slow down their BM intake for awhile though since they don't tend to eat enough calories as compared to BM.
It really has worked great for us. Hopefully it will for #2 whenever that kid comes.
Yep, what they've all said. Did it with my son and loved it. Doing it with my daughter and still love it. They love exploring, in my experiences, and joining the family for meals. And, as an added bonus, mom isn't feeding baby something different or trying to spoon feed during her own meal. It really takes the pressure out of feeding times, IMO.

Barre driver hospitalized after late-night mishapApril 21,2013
Barre man hurt
in NH car crash
BRADFORD A Barre man who was hospitalized in New Hampshire following a late-night accident on Route 25 will face at least one criminal charge when he returns to Vermont.
Vermont State Police said Mark Ekins, 47, was driving with a criminally suspended license when he swerved off the road and into a ditch shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday. Ekins was injured in the accident and taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, N.H.
The extent of Ekins injuries was not disclosed, but police said alcohol may have been a factor and the results of a blood test are pending.
At a minimum, police said, Ekins will be cited to appear in court on a charge of driving with a criminally suspended license.MORE IN This Just InCINCINNATI Panicked zoo visitors watched helplessly and shouted, Stay calm! while one woman...

Erg netjes en fijn appartement! Goede locatie en ook heel schoon. Sona is aardig en behulpzaam. Een aanrader!
Sonas apartment was very nice and very clean. It has everything what you need for your stay and the location is good too. The bed was very comfortable.

Very nice place, clean and still a warm place, it would easy feel like home.
There is a lot of space, everything you need to sleep and cook is in the apartment. Walk to the centre of Prague in about 30 minutes or take the tram just around the corner and you be there in a few minutes. The guarded parking place is just around the corner.
Sona is a very friendly host. Just kick and she helps and tries to solve your problem.
Sona was a very a very nice host, although we didnt get the chance to know or see each other she was always helpful. The appartment itself was great. Very modern und bright. It has all the utilities you might need (even a wash machine :) there were more than enough space for 4 people to sleep. The transportation into the center was close by and convenient. "Only" 4 stars because the location and the area around the appartment was ok. There were not much possibilies around (but asupermarket) . All in all i would def. recomment u to stay with Sona. Cheers
The availability of Sona and lodging in his apartment made our trip to Prague even more bello.La house is very spacious, clean, new and comfortable but above all there is everything you need to live!

Amber Rose Files for Divorce From Wiz Khalifa
Amber Rose has filed for divorce from Wiz Khalifa, TMZ reports.
Amber Rose has filed for divorce from Wiz Khalifa, TMZ reports.
Tragedy struck Friday night, Aug. 22, when a man was shot and killed backstage during a Wiz Khalifa concert.
With Ariana Grande's 'My Everything' coming out and O-Town's 'Lines & Circles,' Wiz Khalifa's 'Blacc Hollywood' and Kimbra's 'Golden Echo' all dropping, we have a lot to look forward to. Which album are you most excited for?
People have taken selfies during all kinds of occasions. But a jail selfie?
Rapper Wiz Khalifa was arrested on Saturday in El Paso, Texas and while he was waiting to post bail, the hip-hop star tweeted a selfie and encouraged fans to use the hashtag #FreeTrapWiz.
If there is one collaboration we can't wait to hear, it's Wiz Khalifa and Adele's. The Taylor Gang rapper first announced that he was working with the soulful British singer in September 2013 -- and now he is revealing exciting details about the forthcoming tune.
Surprisingly, not everyone was into Taylor Swift's headbanging performance of 'All Too Well' at the 2014 Grammy Awards. In fact, rapper Wiz Khalifa even fell asleep during the song, he admitted today, Jan. 27. Yikes!
It's a rough start to 2014 for Wiz Khalifa. The 'Black and Yellow' rapper's uncle Imani Porter was shot in the head and killed on Wednesday, Jan. 8, in Wiz's beloved Pittsburgh, Pa.
If you want to get sucked into a vortex of cuteness, you've GOT to check out this adorbs snap of Sebastian, the son of Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, in his lion Halloween costume. Rawr!
PopCrush broke the news last Thursday (Aug. 15) that rapper Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose would be holding their wedding ceremony in his native Pittsburgh this weekend.
The couple got married officially in July, promising to hold the party and the bash until the fall. Well, as we revealed via an exclusive source, the wedding did take place this past weekend!
Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose are already husband and wife in the law's eyes, having made it "official" earlier this summer. The couple, which have been doing things in their own way --having son Sebastian in February, getting married in July and saving the ceremony for a later date -- are planning to hold the festivities this weekend.

Web Videos Combine Humor and Education
Two young men have found a way to reach a niche audience with messages about bleeding disorders—through web videos posted on YouTube. Patrick James Lynch and Ryan Gielen are executive producers of Believe Digital, a digital production company that creates so-called "smartfunny" videos for younger audiences. Among their clients are Verizon Wireless, Target and Ford Motor Cars.
Now they're tackling bleeding disorders, a subject that is personal for Lynch, who has severe hemophilia. His brother Adam was 18 when he died from a head bleed in 2007. Lynch, one of the actors in the series, is on NHF's Social Media panel. Gielen is a WEBBY award-winning filmmaker, producer and director. Together they produced the "Stop the Bleeding!" Web series.
Check out the first three videos in the "Stop the Bleeding!" Web series.

Absolutely disgraceful! ABC Brian Ross blames Tea Party for James Holmes shooting up Colorado theater during Batman movie 'The Dark Knight Rises' screening
I don't know when people are finally going to get tired of the worthless pink slime media looking for scapegoats to blame the actions of a crazy nut on the Tea Party. The shooting in Aururoa Colorado reminds me a lot of the shooting of Gabby Giffords in Arizona. The shooter wasn't a Democrat or Republican, but rather just a nut. James Holmes appears to be the exact same thing to me. No political ideology one way or another, just another nut in a country that's been going to hell in a handbasket. Despite both Obama and Mitt Romney pulling their campaign ads in Colorado for the time being, and cancelling campaign events as the people in Colorado try to sort this thing out, ABC once again finds a way to inject politics into this tradegy. ABC Hack Brian Ross blamed the Tea Party for the shooting.
http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2012/07/20/absoluately-disgraceful-abc-blames-tea-party-for-james-holmes-shooting-up-colorado-theater-during-batman-movie-the-dark-knight-rises-screening/ABC Obama BiasGun ControlLatest RamblingsLiberal Media BiasTea PartiesABC Obama Bias,Gun Control,Liberal Media Bias,Tea Parties
Meanwhile, ABC's Brian Ross was focused this morning, not on the man who perpetrated the shooting, but on the first Jim Holmes he could find in the Denver area with a Tea Party connection. His reporting is so bad as to suggest he simply Googled "Jim Holmes + Tea Party + Denver," and George Stephanopoulos accepted his report credulously. Nate Silver, a statistics specialist who writes on politics at the New York Times, estimated there are may be 25 Jim Holmeses in the Denver area.

If anyone says this isn't primarily based off of France/Europe you are crazy. As Shivi did just point out it looks like we have Stonehenge, so we're taking some nods from Great Britain as well. I mean, the scattered mountains around the southern part of the region, plus the snowy area to the northwest just screams France/Europe to me.
As for general opinion of the region, I'm really loving it. The one thing I'm noticing that is different from Unova (and I'm happy about!) is that the region doesn't appear to just be a giant circle of towns around a central area. Yes, we have that big circular thing in the center, but the populated areas look much more varied around the map, and that's a great change. It feels like we'll be able to explore a lot more this time!
I'm really enjoying all the water ways around the region as well. It looks like they are literally everywhere. It'd be awesome to maybe have some sort of ferry system or something for fast travel around everywhere, although it doesn't look like there are ports anywhere on the rivers as well. Who knows, I just like how it looks anyways!

Stunning work! Thank you for sharing!
As always I love your stuff.
Amazing, so shiny! Love the hair too. Xx
So dreamy and dominant.
Excellent work... wow... I just did a stock session with vinyl corset and blue lips!! anyone would think I took the inspiration from here, but I've just came across your work tonight, and loving it!
Love this images ! Wish I had them to paint from.
Yes, I didn't expect blue lips to go so well with black vynil but somehow it does... your work is proof of it too, I unfortunately look somewhat orange on that stock session... but of course that can be easily mended by photomanipulators or any traditional artist that wish to use it. And if any of my stock inspired you that would be more than awesome!!
this your latest publications are all amazing works
very very lovely style...................so dark and impressive
An amazing and inspiring work
Wow! Love the hair!
i didn't know you have a deviantart page, i love your art and your comics

Insurance Products & Services
Insurance is unlike any other product out there - you pay for it and hope you never have to use it. And that makes paying more than you need to that much more uncomfortable.
With a policy from Allstate, you can help keep your insurance costs low with the wide variety of discounts we offer. Keep in mind, not all discounts are available in every state. The best way to get all that you qualify for is to get an insurance quote specific to Dallas.
You can get a rough "ballpark" insurance quote from many companies online, but talking with an agent allows you to ask questions and get a quote for coverage that matters most to you. As an Allstate agent, I can prepare a quote that details the coverage, deductibles (your portion of a loss) and cost (premium) of your insurance policy.

Over 50,000 Kickstarter projects have been successfully funded, the crowdfunding site tweeted earlier today with a link to their stats page, which is updated daily.
Kickstarter's success rate is 43.89% overall, but broken down by category, only 39.88% of film and video projects have been successfully funded, compared to 55.04% of music projects and 71.33% of dance projects (granted, there were only 1,556 dance projects).
Still, the most popular category (and most successful overall) on Kickstarter is film and video with 30,175 projects launched and $142.83 million raised (on successful projects).
READ MORE: Indiewire's Ultimate Guide to Crowdfunding
"Most successfully funded projects raise less than $10,000, but a growing number have reached six and even seven figures," according to Kickstarter, which said that currently funding projects that have reached their goals are not included in their current stats -- only projects whose funding is complete.
Of the 11,706 successful film and video projects, 1,121 raised less than $1,000, while the majority (7,132) raised between $1,000 and $9,999; 1,841 raised between $10,000 and $19,999; 1,478 raised between $20,000 and $99,999; 131 raised between $100,000 and $999,000; and 3 raised $1 million or over and, not surprisingly, they were all celebrity-fueled: Zach Braff, "Veronica Mars" and Spike Lee.
Lee just announced that his Kickstarter-funded film "'Da Blood of Jesus," which surpassed its goal of $1.25 million, just finished shooting.
Kickstarter pointed to recent successfully funded film projects which are now available to watch online, including "Detropia," "Indie Game: The Movie," "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry" and "Room 237."

New literature details tension control device for barge spotting
- By WorkBoat
- 2/28/2012
full color brochure available from Force Control Industries details the Posidyne Clutch Brake for barge spotting applications.
FCI says it's a unique product providing smooth tension control in both directions — eliminating harsh stopping/starting that can damage cables and fittings. Tension can be easily adjusted for upriver or downriver conditions, and an internal holding brake holds loads in position for long periods of time.Oil shear clutch brakes allow the use of standard motors rather than special motors or VFD units for further cost control and simplicity. Totally enclosed Posidyne Clutch Brakes are impervious to the elements, the Fairfiled, Ohio-based company says, and require no adjustment, maintenance or disc replacement. According to FCI, they are ideal for hazardous or explosive environments like chemical or fuel filling, coal or grain loading, and other barge loading or unloading applications.

Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill faces pretrial hearing Wednesday in Issaquah on misdemeanor assault charge.
Linebacker Leroy Hill remains on the Seahawks' roster, just not on the practice field.
He was absent from the team's workout Monday just as he has been from all organized team activities this offseason, instructed by the team to stay away after being arrested in Issaquah last month and charged with misdemeanor assault following a domestic dispute.
Hill's continued absence from the Seahawks' practices has prompted questions about his future with the team. Coach Pete Carroll was asked Monday if he expects Hill to be with the team next season.
"I'm hoping," Carroll said. "I mean, he's part of our team. I'm hoping he will be and we need to see what that all means. We'll figure it out when the time comes."

Most Read Stories
The next step toward a resolution comes Wednesday in Issaquah, where Hill has a pretrial hearing in the assault case.
Then there's the question of whether that will impact his status in Georgia, where Hill is on probation after pleading guilty in the state court of Douglas County to misdemeanor drug possession relating to a 2009 arrest. The Georgia prosecutor could move to revoke Hill's probation depending on what happens with the assault charge.
And then there's the question of what the NFL will do. The league could discipline Hill.
"We're waiting for word from the league office where they stand on all this," Carroll said. "We'll just have to wait it out. They were not able to tell us when that's going to come, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens."
Hill, 27, has played five seasons with the Seahawks. He missed five games last season because of a groin injury and finished with 46 tackles, his fewest since entering the NFL in 2005. Under the contract he signed last year, he is scheduled to make $6 million in base salary in 2010.
• Most of Seattle's rookies are eligible to participate in Seahawks training now that their respective school years have concluded. Safety Earl Thomas of Texas, however, can't start until final exams are over later this week.
• The Seahawks released tight end Jason Pociask on Monday.

About Us
"The menu easily surfs through several Asian cultures with selections that are pleasing to American palates. Start with the delicately flavored Vietnamese spring rolls served with rich, nutty mustard sauce; but eat carefully as they're loosely rolled and easily fall apart. You'll want to get two servings of the golden, crisp Japanese gyoza--there are only four delicious morsels per order. Fragrant red curry with coconut milk deliciously coats basmati rice, with chunks of red bell pepper adding color. Wide and chewy hot pepper noodles make for a hearty dish with a nippy after-bite."

From Abhishek Kapoor, who directed "Rock On!", comes another film focussing on male bonding - "Kai Po Che!". But he says they have both been different experiences.
Kapoor insists the experience of making "Kai Po Che!", was like directing "Rock On!" "three times over".
However, he said the similarity ended there. "Kai Po Che!", he contended, "has a much wider story".
"Characters come from the different social backdrops and this ('Kai Po Che') is more middle-class, hardcore, deep-rooted India and that ('Rock On!') was very urban - so their sensibilities are very different," said Kapoor.
"The way they (the characters) respond and react to each other is very different, their value systems are very different, and more than anything else, it is a much bigger and wider story. 'Kai Po Che' was like making three 'Rock On'," said Kapoor, who made his directorial debut in 2006 with "Aryan", a film that won him critical acclaim, but bombed at the box-office.
It was in 2008 that he wrote and directed "Rock On!", the commercially and critically successful film that marked the acting debut of Farhan Akhtar.
"Kai Po Che" marks the big screen debut of TV actor Sushant Singh Rajput">Sushant Singh Rajput, and also stars Amit Sadh, Rajkumar Yadav and Amrita Puri. It is slated to release Jan 11, 2013.

Under paragraph 1(a) of Executive Order 10096, the conditions under which this invention was made entitle the Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the Army, to the entire right, title and interest therein of any patent granted thereon by the United States. This patent and related ones are available for licensing. Contact Phillip Stewart at 601 634-4113.
Under 35 U.S.C � 120, this application claims the benefit of prior co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/943,646, A Release Mechanism To Interact with Biota, in Particular Fauna that May Outgrow Available Habitat, by Evans et al., filed Sep. 10, 2004, incorporated herein by reference.
Triploid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) are sterile fish used to control nuisance aquatic vegetation. This species provides long-term aquatic plant control, e.g., nominally five to seven and a maximum possible of ten years, at less cost than either herbicides or mechanical harvesting. One limitation on their use is establishing an optimum stocking level, i.e., too few and the aquatic vegetation is not affected and too many and it is totally eliminated. A second limitation is associated with the latter in that they have a propensity to leave stocking sites, thus impacting desirable vegetation in other locations.
Recently, scientists achieved stocking densities in small impoundments that allowed a targeted level of aquatic plant control. However, achieving desired levels of control in large reservoir systems has been inconsistent. Nevertheless, techniques to age and collect triploid grass carp in large reservoir systems were developed. These techniques allowed scientists to project population trends. The ability to stock and predict subsequent populations of triploid grass carp facilitates achieving optimal populations.
Any carp that migrate may impact native aquatic vegetation in floodplain lakes and in estuaries. In these areas in particular, aquatic plants are needed to keep the natural balance of the environment. Aquatic plants are the primary source of oxygen production in many standing waters as well as providing a protective haven for small fish. In estuaries, these carp may consume native aquatic vegetation required for controlling erosion or needed as nursery habitat for economically important fisheries.
Given the need to optimize population density at stocking sites and to limit potentially damaging effects outside the stocking sites, one control mechanism is ability to limit the life span of these carp. For example, larger fish require more food, thus as they get larger, fewer are needed to maintain the same control of undesirable vegetation. This capability allows resource managers to precisely control population mix and achieve consistency in aquatic plant control in large reservoir systems. Further, this capability limits the time that escaped migrating carp roam freely. Hence, implementing life span control via a passive "plant and forget" method using bioerodible materials for timing delivery of toxins in implants permits introducing triploid grass carp as a suitable management tool for controlling undesirable aquatic vegetation in large impoundments. The term "bioerodible" includes self-destruction of an implant by dissolution, biodegradation, or both.
Select embodiments of the present invention envision an apparatus and method for delivering a payload to living biota after passage of a pre-established substantially extended time period. In general, an embodiment of the present invention includes biocompatible packaging enclosing one or more payloads and means for timing delivery of the payload and facilitating opening of the packaging to deliver a payload. In select embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus is implanted in fauna, specifically fish, in an "implant and forget" capsule prior to their release into a body of water. The payload may be a lethal dose of one or more toxins. In select embodiments of the present invention, flora may have either a fertilizer or a systemic toxin inserted to either promote growth or to kill parasites such as thrips (Thysanoptera) after an extended passage of time.
Embodiments of the present invention are implanted in sterile triploid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) that are used to control aquatic weeds. When the carp have been in the water for a pre-specified extended period, ostensibly long enough to effectively control the target aquatic plants, the apparatus dispenses one or more toxins to kill them. Otherwise, the carp may destroy all vegetation and harm the aquatic environment for other aquatic life.
In select embodiments of the present invention, the packaging is a multi-part capsule of inert biocompatible material. The payload is sealed in the capsule prior to use. The capsule is suitable for retention within living biota, in particular, fish. In select embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus is completely passive, i.e., a portion of the capsule bioerodes after passage of a pre-established substantially extended time period to open the capsule to deposit its payload. The substantially extended time period may be from six months to several years depending on user requirements. On average, the substantially extended time period may be pre-specified up to three years, although the maximum time may be near the average life expectancy for the particular species of biota.
Select embodiments of the present invention envision a system for controlling growth of aquatic plants in a body of water. Select embodiments of the present invention comprise one or more triploid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and means for pre-establishing the approximate life span of the carp. In select embodiments of the present invention, the means for pre-establishing comprise biocompatible (inert) packaging enclosing a lethal dose of one or more toxins and means for timing delivery of the toxins via bioeroding one or more incorporated bioeroding configurations, such as seals or plugs, thus opening the packaging to release the toxin into the bloodstream of the carp. The means for pre-establishing the approximate lifespan is implanted in the carp prior to introduction of the carp into a body of water.
In select embodiments of the present invention, the payload of the means for pre-establishing the approximate lifespan is one or more toxins. Toxin is encapsulated in one or more multi-part capsules that are sealed prior to use to yield an "initially leak proof" package suitable for retention by living biota. In select embodiments of the present invention, bioerodible configurations incorporated in the means for pre-establishing the approximate lifespan are selected from the group consisting of bioerodible plugs, bioerodible tape, and combinations thereof. In select embodiments of the present invention, a bioerodible plug may be fitted in one end of a capsule; a bioerodible plug may join two halves of a capsule; bioerodible tape wrapped around the overlapping area of two friction-fit conjoined sections of a capsule; bioerodible tape "sealing" a cap on one end of a capsule, and combinations thereof.
In select embodiments of the present invention, the means for timing in the means for pre-specifying the approximate lifespan comprises bioerodible material pre-specified as to the approximate time period over which the material substantially bioerodes. This bioerodible material, such as a bioerodible polymer, preferably has the following properties: reliable erosion rates, non-mutagenic, nonantigenic, non-toxic and biocompatible. This material must be consistent with the manufacturing process and not interact with the toxin or other agent utilized in this delivery device.
Candidate bioerodible polymers may be synthesized from monomers comprising esters, anhydrides, ortho-esters, and amides. Examples of biodegradable polymers are Poly(glycolide), Poly-L-actide, Poly(lactide-co-glycolide), Poly(α-caprolactone), Poly(diaxanone), Poly(glyconate), Poly(Ortho-Esters), Copolymers of glycolic, lactic, and other α-hydroxy acids, block copolymers prepared from polyethylene glycols and certain Poly(Ortho-Esters), and random copolymers of these polymers.
Plugs may be cut from self-reinforced polyglycolide (SR-PGA) rods coated with slowly absorbable polymers. To reduce the degradation rate, the rods may be coated with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, Poly(dioxanone) (PDS), Poly(beta-hydroxybutyrate) (PHBA), or Poly-L-lactide (PLLA).
In select embodiments of the present invention, a method for delivering one or more payloads to living biota during an approximated pre-specified time period comprises:
In select embodiments of the present invention, a method for controlling growth of aquatic plants in a body of water comprises:
Select embodiments of the present invention provide a device for terminating biota on a pre-specified approximate schedule, in particular fauna, and more particularly fish. An embodiment of the present invention is adapted to be incorporated into biota and comprises a container enclosing a toxin. The container may be a capsule, such as a flexible plastic capsule, incorporating at least some bioerodible material. An embodiment of the present invention comprises means proximate the payload for releasing the payload after an approximate pre-specified substantially extended time period, e.g., after one or two years releasing one or more toxins into vital areas of biota, such as blood vessels of fish.
An embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for terminating biota, in particular fauna, after a pre-established substantially extended period. One embodiment of the method of the present invention comprises emplacing a toxin-containing capsule within the fauna. The container automatically releases the toxin after a pre-established substantially extended time period when a bioerodible portion of the container substantially erodes, i.e., degrades or dissolves sufficiently to release the toxin. For example, a method of the present invention involves surgically inserting a toxin-containing capsule into a fish, such as a triploid grass carp, having pre-established a bioerodible plug in the capsule to rupture via bioerosion (i.e., biodegradation, dissolution, or both) after a pre-specified substantially extended time period. Upon opening, the capsule introduces one or more toxins into the bloodstream of the fish. In any embodiment of the present invention, the size of the capsule and its payload type and amount depend upon the application being addressed.

By selecting an appropriate bioreactant coating 701, the pre-established time period may be varied to meet individual user requirements. The same type of selectivity may be obtained by judicious selection of the type and dimensions of bioerodible material employed to fabricate the plugs 101, 201 and the tape 501, 601.
Refer again to
Appropriate locations for inserting the capsule 400, as well as suitable toxins, and lethal doses have been determined via experimentation. Studies have evaluated various locations for inserting the capsule. Considerations included a location where the device is unlikely to be consumed by humans if the fish is captured and eaten. The location with the best retention is along the longitudinal axis. Dose response relations for rotenone and grass carp of differing sizes have been developed and are applied in accordance with user's requirements.
The capsule 400 is configured to release toxin upon substantial bioerosion of the plug 201, releasing toxin, such as rotenone, into the musculature of the carp. In select embodiments of the present invention, the "release" or "dispensing" time is determined by the properties of the plug 201, the average body temperature of the carp, and the dimensions of the plug 201.
Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims. In the claims, means-plus-function clauses are intended to cover the structures described herein as performing the recited function and not only structural equivalents, but also equivalent structures. Thus, although a nail and a screw may not be structural equivalents in that a nail employs a cylindrical surface to secure wooden parts together, whereas a screw employs a helical surface, in the environment of fastening wooden parts, a nail and a screw may be equivalent structures.
The abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract, which will allow a searcher to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure of any patent issued from this disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR � 1.72(b). Any advantages and benefits described may not apply to all embodiments of the invention.

May be bigger and brighter than expected
These are very cute and comfortable shoes, however they seem to run a bit large and after sending back two pairs (thank you for making that easy!) I decided to go with another brand. Also keep in mind that they are brighter than they look on the screen.
Looking to buy these soon! Do they run big lengthwise or widthwise?
I am a size 7.5, but I have very high arches so I almost always have to wear an 8 or 8.5 (in most brands) to get the fit right. However, I'm sure it I had sized down I would have found a pair that fit me, I just wasn't crazy about the brightness in the end so I went with another shoe. As I said, Backcountry makes it a cinch to return shoes so it wasn't any trouble for me at all and I'm glad I tried these out. I still think they are really cute shoes.
bought these as a gift and they have been put to the test week after week whether it is hiking, walking down the street, working or just looking awesome and they have been very reliable and comfortable. Heel cup is very comfortable, a little bit big on sizes but nothing that BC.com cannot take care of for you with the ease of returns.
All round awesome
I got these back in the fall and wore the crap out of them all of fall and straight through winter. We are on to flip-flop season now, but these shoes have been awesome and have tons of life left in them. I wear them for every-day use and I find myself just wanting another pair so I can have color options. Definitely more impressed than I expected!
Retro & Awesome
I was a little hesitant in order the Solo Originals. I oscillated between a nice pair of Barefoots and this hiking shoe and finally settled on the Solo (I already own a pair of Barefoots).
Well, let me tell you, I am impressed.
The fit is great, the style reto and awesome, and so far - the feeling going up and down pretty steep inclines has been wonderful. Even when my other friends' feet are getting soaked on mushy tundra, my feet are nice and dry (and so very hip).
I am definitely happy I settled on this purchase.
Added bonus, these hikers look great even when I am not on the mountain. I have NEVER worn a hiking shoe to just kick it around town - and here I find myself pulling on a pair of skinny jeans and showing these babies off. I am ridiculous.
Origins Guys' and Gals'
comfortable, all around fun shoes
you guys look awesome!!

As you have said they can be interesting. It depends who is writing the episode really, because I have found some interesting CoTD and then I have some some generic ones that are just there to waste space and are super forgettable. I want my CoTD to be memorable like Charles in Driftveil City. I found him entertaining, funny, and action packed. Some on the other hand just follow a generic recycled plot so there is really nothing to them to begin with expect to fill a episode and bide time. At some point the CoTD along with there episodes just get tiring and leave me wondering when they are actually going to jump back on the main plot.

Olive Shg Group
All the members live in the same village, and all are engaged in income-generating activity. The group was formed to encourage, motivate and be financially independent. The village is about 30 kms away from the main town of Imphal, and it is also one of the capital states in the northeastern states of India.
Nichoibong has been running the tea-stall for more than a couple of years, and before this she used to grow chives and sell them. The tea-stall is in the front yard of her house, and it is built with a tin roof, knotted bamboo and no concrete flooring.
The tea-stall is open at the break of the dawn and closes down at sunset. She sells tea, toast and puri (fried flatbread) in the morning. Most of the time she uses firewood and charcoal for heating, as the liquefied petroleum gas is expensive. The firewood is sometimes collected by herself from the nearby fields to save some income. She usually gets the supplies from the main city market, and she also purchases on credit from the village grocery shop.
Nichoibong prepares good tea with tasty puri and toast, which is the main attraction for the villagers. People buzz in during the early morning to have tea and puri for breakfast. At daybreak, elders hang out at the stall and kill time. Farmers also stop at the tea-stall in the evening when they return from the field to have a cup of tea. Her warm and humble nature attracts people to sit and have tea at the stall.
The generated income is mostly used to manage the family expenses, and the case gets worse when the credit repayment from customers fails.
Nichoibong wants the loan to purchase bags of flour and wheat, milk powder, edible oil and extra gas. With the stock list, she will be able to run the business efficiently without worrying about the next day. She will open an account and start monthly savings for the future, and also repay the loan on time. She is happy that Kiva and WSDS create a platform for women who need financial support, and she wishes them good luck.
The rest of the group members are also engaged in a piggery, vegetable-selling, poultry, etc.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of WSDS's effort to reach some of the most underserved parts of India's troubled northeast region, where there is very poor penetration of both formal and informal financial services. By supporting this loan, you are enabling access to finance for women living in some of India's most remote areas.
Important note about this loanDue to Indian government regulations, if you fund this loan, you will not be repaid for at least 3 years. This borrower will likely repay your loan much sooner than that, in which case, the Field Partner may re-loan your funds to help other local borrowers. We want you to be aware of this minimum 3-year waiting period and the associated risks before making a loan to Indian borrowers on Kiva. Learn More >
About WSDS-Initiate
WSDS-Initiate is an inclusive nonprofit that works with women across all tribes and minority communities in Manipur, located in the remote northeast region of India. Most organizations concentrate their work in the plains region of Manipur, but WSDS is among the very few organizations serving women in the isolated hills. Political unrest and frequent economic blockades in the area make it very difficult to provide services, resulting in Manipur having the lowest penetration of financial services in the country.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

About Me
Explore the world whilst having as much fun as is humanly possible!
I am a bit (understatement) of a wildlife nerd, so my past travels have revolved around working with wildlife. Luckily I also like humans, especially ones who make life happen for themselves and who seek out exciting opportunities!
I love to banter and I like to think I don't take life too seriously. Although I do know to be very mature when I need to be :). But usually if you see me, I'm probably pulling a silly face and making weird notions with my hands...
Dance until you die (sweating will also suffice).
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I like to go to CS meetings whenever I can. I've surfed before, but can't wait until I can host people in the future!
So far all of my CS experiences have been positive and I've learnt something from every one.
Spying on wildlife, travel, culture, meeting interesting people, dancing, reading, FOOD,playing piano and attempting to play guitar.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like a bit of everything but particular favourites include Disney :), zombies, Wayne's World.
I'll listen to all sorts of music, but some particular favourites are Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Waits, Chromeo, Bon Iver, Solomon Burke, Ray Charles, The Tallest Man On Earth...But for dancing my guilty pleasure is RnB :)
I love reading. But I think I need to become more cultured with my book choice; I'm open to suggestions!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I got capuchin monkey pee in my eye!
But no seriously...I studied spotted hyenas in the Masai Mara, Kenya. I lived alongside Maasai people and just had the most incredible time out there.
Teach, Learn, Share
If you want to know about wildlife I am happy to talk about it. If you want to know about spotted hyenas I am VERY happy to talk about it. If I get too into it and don't stop nattering, just tell me to shut up :)
I love learning and I am very curious. This usually results in me wanting to try a bit of everything!
Countries I've Visited
Botswana, Costa Rica, Croatia, Nicaragua, South Africa, Thailand
Countries I've Lived In
Kenya, Tanzania, United Kingdom

A few months back my battery needed to be replaced so a friend replaced it for me. The positive battery terminal connector needed to be replaced so when he did replace it he just put the wires together and wrapped it with electrical tape. Some of the tape came off and one of the wires touched metal. The car won't start now and the power locks don't work or anything. Does anyone have an idea as to what it could be?

Veteran actor Kulbhushan Kharbanda, who returned to theatre after a hiatus of 20 years, has expressed happiness over the growing popularity of theatre.
"It is good to see the audience numbers go up. They are appreciating theatre in all languages," said the thespian, at the preview of Kolkata-based theatre group Padatik's latest Hindi play "Atmakatha" (Autobiography) here Wednesday.
"Atmakatha", an adaptation of Mahesh Elkunchwar's Marathi classic, brings together Kharbanda, Chetna Jalan, Sanchayita Bhattacharjee, and Anubha Fatehpuria along with Vinay Sharma.
Kharbanda plays the role of a famous writer who is penning his autobiography and discovers how his relationships with the three women in his life -- his wife, his sister-in-law and a scribe -- have evolved.
Kharbanda's last venture on stage was "Sakharam" in 1991.
Best known for portraying the villain Shakaal in the 1980 Hindi movie "Shaan", he has received critical acclaim for his roles in parallel cinema, notably Mahesh Bhatt's "Arth" and Deepa Mehta's Elements trilogy - "Fire" (1996), "Earth" (1998), and "Water" (2005).
"It is difficult to say which role was the most memorable. They were all so different and equally satisfying," said the actor, who is also one of the founders of Padatik.
Prior to his acting career, Kharbanda has had a productive experience as a theatre artist.
"I was part of the groups 'Abhiyaan' and 'Yatrik' during my Delhi days. Later on, I moved to Kolkata and worked with Padatik. It is pure nostalgia for me," reminisced Kharbanda.
Known for capturing intense moments with elan, he has equal fondness for both cinema and theatre.
"Both are different media. Cinema is more of director's medium whereas theatre is partial to the actor. But I enjoy both as long as I am happy with the roles," said the 68-year-old.
In spite of having three Hindi movies in his kitty, the actor wishes to do more theatre.
"I will never say no to theatre. As long as people want to work with me, I will keep at it," affirmed the actor.

Gottfried Hohmann & Barbara Fruth
S haring of food has been reported from different primate species, including marmosets ( Goldizen 1986), douc langurs ( Kavanagh 1972), gibbons ( Schessler and Nash 1977), chimpanzees ( Lavick-Goodall 1968; Nishida 1970; McGrew this volume), bonobos ( Kuroda 1984; Badrian and Malenky 1984), and in the vast literature on the topic in humans (see Kaplan 1983 for a comprehensive review). Attempts to explain the evolution and manifestation of food sharing have involved various mechanisms, including kin selection ( Axelrod and Hamilton 1981), reciprocal altruism ( Trivers 1971), contest over resources ( Blurton Jones 1984), and selfish behavior ( Moore 1984). The benefits of food sharing among close kin (e.g. mother/offspring) are obvious and do not require reciprocation. In case of food sharing among unrelated individuals, however, sharing is thought to become beneficial for the donor if the recipient reciprocates food sharing at another time and/or with another "currency" (e.g. grooming, defense, mating opportunities) or if begging for food raises the social status of the donor ( de Waal 1989; Strum 1975). Sharing with distantly related individuals thus can be part of strategies to rise in status via alliance formation or food distribution, among other things. Since the status structure of bonobos groups is not yet well understood, in this chapter we will give the results of our study on food sharing, and then present a hypothesis concerning food sharing and status: that food sharing is one means of forming and maintaining alliances among females, and that it is partly through such alliances that females maintain higher status than males.

Shooter Was Calm Before Killings
The truck driver who shot and killed eight co-workers at a Connecticut beer distribution company was prepared for the massacre and appeared to target specific people who were involved in his imminent dismissal, authorities said Wednesday.
Omar Thornton, 34 years old, had packed two 9mm pistols in a lunch box that he stored in a kitchen at the Manchester, Conn., building of Hartford Distributors before attending a disciplinary hearing early Tuesday, police said.
After the meeting, at which he was asked to resign or face being terminated, Mr. Thornton retrieved the weapons and began a 45-minute rampage that ended when he apparently shot himself, police said.
The sequence of events and the lengths that Mr. Thornton went to conceal his weapons suggest he had premeditated the attack. Even so, the exact motives remain under investigation, Manchester Police Lt. Christopher Davis said.
Lt. Davis said Mr. Thornton didn't tell his family or others about his plans..
"But obviously if he brings [weapons] into the meeting and into work that, obviously, it was something that he was thinking of doing," Lt. Davis said. Mr. Thornton apparently chased certain victims while sparing others, Lt. Davis said.
According to witness accounts given to police, Mr. Thornton arrived early to work on Tuesday, just before 7 a.m., to meet with his union representatives and managers at the distribution company about allegations that he had been stealing beer while on his delivery routes.
Lt. Davis said company officials showed Mr. Thornton video of the alleged theft that was gathered by a private investigator hired by the company to follow him for several weeks.
Mr. Thornton "wasn't agitated, didn't seem overly concerned," Lt. Davis said. "They said he was eerily cool about everything."
The only comments he made was to marvel about the good quality of the surveillance camera the investigator used, Lt. Davis said. After company officials gave him the option to resign or be dismissed, Mr. Thornton conferred for a few moments with his union representative outside of the office.
He returned and tendered a one-line resignation letter, according to Lt. Davis. The union representative and a member of the company management began to escort Mr. Thornton out of the building.
When they approached the kitchen, Mr. Thornton asked to stop for a drink of water. He then emerged with the weapons and shot his two escorts dead, Lt. Davis said, before stalking through the offices and warehouse firing at other victims.
Local 1035 shop steward Bryan Cirigliano, 51, and company supervisor Louis Felder, 50, were killed. Chief operating officer Steve Hollander was wounded.
"The [other] union members he shot were people who just happened to be working in the area," union attorney Gregg Adler said.
Authorities identified those people as Francis Fazio, 57, Craig Pepin, 60, William Ackerman, 51, Doug Scruton, 56, Edwin Kennison, 49, and Victor James, 60. All of the victims died of multiple gunshot wounds, autopsies revealed.
One victim not identified was in critical condition at Hartford Hospital.
Mr. Thornton, who family members said complained of racial abuse in his two years with the company, walked and ran through the sprawling facility and shot his victims without speaking, police said. The company and union have denied any problems with bias.
Mr. Thornton passed two or more employees he didn't shoot, police said. One was a woman in a wheelchair who made eye contact with Mr. Thornton.
"She was thankful to be alive and she wasn't sure why she was spared," Lt. Davis said.
