Overall, I am very happy with these booties. Yes, they do seem to be a bit big, as other reviewers have attested. A pair of bootie socks solved that problem. Also, with the the 2mm soles, you will definitely feel it if you step on something hard, sharp or jagged. I would buy these again, but certainly with a little more thicker sole. In closing, they are are great product for the price!

I can honestly say I dont know how this happened. I used to put my little one to bed and she would fall asleep on her own. Now at 21 months she wont let go of me until shes almost asleep. If I put her down she starts crying and eventully will throw up. What do I do??? Im trying to get pregnant and cant be holding 30 pounds in my hands for 30 minutes.......
Help....Back to rocking my toddler to sleep
Comments (6)
Well, you either have to keep doing it or break her of it. I prefer cold turkey with this kind of stuff, but I know a lot of people don't like to do that. If she throws up, go in and clean it up and put her back down. They are very quick studies at this age and will realize the whole screaming and barfing routine doesn't get them anywhere in a hurry if you don't give into it. LIke I said, this approach is not for everyone, but it's quick and won't take more than a night or two if you don't cave. Good luck!
Both my older kids I had rocked them to sleep until they were 3. When I was pregnant with my secound child I would rock heer and my husban would pick her up and put her in her bed. So I feel you there. With my secound we started to put her down when she was 18 months and so far so good. But is she going threw seperation anx. because that could be the problem. I would rock her in her room so at least she is still fall asleep in her room. Good luck.

HELLO and gd evening i knw wht u mean my son is 20mths and he just starated us 2 rock him 2 sleep but lil here and there if he is really tried i give him a bottle and lay him down with sum music on or i just rock him for like 5 or 10mins and put him down i didnt do it when he was little but i guess when they get older they feel different sumtimes!!
Well, my daughter is only 14 months, and I couldn't imagine her going to bed any other way. I honestly didn't know it was uncommon for a child under 2 to go to bed in mommy or daddy's arms. Her dad puts her to bed every night, and it's a tradition they both love, and so do I because I get some much -needed "mommy time". I feel that when she gets older, she will be better able to fall asleep on her own. And I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to happen.
Jamie *Mommy to Alexa Rae 6-14-07 *Brookelynn Jade 10-15-09 and *#3 on the way! due 2-11-12
DD1 had some issues like this as well. I started laying her in her bed and staying in her room until she fell asleep. I did this for a couple of weeks. It was a pain at first but it worked. She eventually got to the point where she could fall asleep by herself. I always told her that mommy would check in on her in a few minutes. When I went back she was always asleep.
Good luck.

State of the County
[Editor's note: This letter was prepared prior to last week's Board of Supervisors' meeting and read aloud at that meeting. County administrator Michael Thompson requested that this address be printed in its entirety in The Tunica Times.]
Dear Supervisors,
The excessive expenditure mentality that has been pervasive in Tunica County since the inception of gaming must come to an end. We must become fiscally responsible with our resources, which begins with doing the most basic job of governing...operating from and adhering to a balanced budget. Simply stated, expenditures should be in line with revenues.

Feeling Sorry for Myself
Monday, July 08, 2013
The next half marathon I plan to run is the Skinny Raven Half Marathon in Anchorage, AK on August 18.
I ran it last year and loved it.
My last run was 3 miles on June 18 before going on a trip to South Africa. My left knee started aching a little as I boarded the plane. While on vacation, my knee was a little stiff. I walked quite a bit but didn't get a run in as planned.
On July 1, back home and getting back to my training schedule, I went for a run. I use the Jeff Galloway run/walk/run method and since I hadn't run in a couple of weeks and was basically doing a trail run, set my timer for 1 min. run: 30 sec. walk. After warming up and running only a couple of minutes, I felt a sharp pain going up my hamstring and down my calf. I immediately stopped running and decided to walk the 3 miles. No more pain, just a little tenderness.
At my husband's request, I made an appointment with an orthopedist on July 9. The next day, I walked 1.5 miles on the same trail without trying to run at all. I thought I would continue to walk until I saw the doc. But, on Wednesday, just a half mile from home, my right foot slipped, I heard and felt a pop in my knee and could not put my full weight on that leg. I managed to make it home (there was no one home to help me) by using both hands and feet on the rocky places and shuffling on the smoother ground. It took about 30 minutes and I was very relieved and exhausted. I immediately iced the knee which was hurting like crazy and swelling a little. After resting I could put weight on it as long as I was on a level surface and I have crutches for support on uneven ground.
I go to the dr. tomorrow and find out the extent of the injury. I'm afraid my running is on hold, but more than that, I'm afraid I won't be able to babysit my little grandkids in Colorado (hard to chase a toddler and a crawler when I can just barely walk myself) or run with my grandkids in Alaska.
So, that's why I'm feeling sorry for myself. Thanks for listening.

So sorry to hear. Self pity can be therapeutic in it's own way. If only life could always go the way we want. I always tell my young students ---" It's OK to cry as much as you want and for as long as you need to so that you can let out the pain and frustration and make room for what you are going to do to begin to feel better. " When the crying stops we say "OK - so now what." I know that's not the magic wand answer but hope it helps.

I am so sorry about your injury and the plans you had made that are disrupted. Glad you have an appt with the dr to get it taken care of. Also glad you were able to make it home safely. You sound like me when it comes to finding a way to get back if something happens LOL! I haven't had anything like that happen out on the trails yet, but I know that I would crawl and drag my leg if I had to because that's the way I am. Glad it wasn't bad enough you had to do that. I hope it's something easily fixable and you can get back to doing what you want to do very very soon. Sending you big hugs and best wishes.

To speed up the baking process, the poppers may be broiled for about 5-10 minutes and then rotated for another 5-10 minutes. If using the broil method, then it is very important to keep a close eye on the poppers as they will burn easily with the oven on broil.
Big hit. I ended up only using only a a little more than 1 box of cream cheese and 1 package of bacon for 2 dozen peppers. I cut the bacon strips in half (maybe saving a few grams of fat!). Will definitely make again.
Probably the best recipe for jalapeno poppers I've ever tasted. I've probably made it a dozen times since the beginning of 2010. Thank you for introducing this to me.
Made these for my Wife's Bday party and they were the 1st things gone !! Then again everything is better with bacon wrapped around it

The Politics of Health Risk Warnings:
Social Movements and Controversy over the Link
between Abortion and Breast Cancer
Laury Oaks
This chapter examines controversy in the United States over antiabortion advocates' efforts to link abortion with another highly visible, politicized, and emotionally laden women's health issue: breast cancer. Drawing on scholarship that emphasizes the politics of risk perception, assessment, and communication, I analyze both how antiabortion activists have supported their claims and how women's health and abortion rights advocates have responded to antiabortion campaigns that publicize the putative "fact" that abortion increases a woman's risk of subsequently contracting breast cancer. Whether abortion and breast cancer are linked in this way has been labeled by some medical professionals as "one of the most controversial and important questions in women's health today" (Bartholomew and Grimes 1998:708) and identified by others as "scientifically complex and politically charged" (Gammon, Bertin, and Terry 1996).1 Health professionals and advocates who represent both sides of the abortion debate have analyzed evidence of the risk of breast cancer associated with abortion on both scientific and political terms. Controversy over antiabortion advocates' campaign to publicize the "scientific fact" that abortion increases a
I would like to thank Jo Murphy-Lawless, Jessica Jerome, and Francesca Bray for their
feedback on an early version of this chapter, which was presented at the 2000 American
Anthropological Association meetings. Talia Walsmith and Alena Donovan provided
valuable, detailed research assistance, and the Institute for Social, Economic, and Behav-
ioral Research at the University of California, Santa Barbara, provided funding support.
The chapter has benefited enormously due to close readings of its several iterations by
Doug English and Barbara Herr Harthorn. I owe an abundance of thanks to Barbara,
whose vision and energy have sustained our collaborative work on this volume from its
inception as a conference panel to its completion as a book manuscript.

Actually I have three best friends. The first one, Taru, I met when I was 7.
We were in the same class in primary school. We do not even really spent time with each other until junior high school, we started out of necessity to spend time with each other. After that we were inseparable. We had our own problems, because her betrayed my trust. Finally, we harvested between us, and we are still occasions. Now she has a 2-year-old daughter with my stepbrother.
The other two I met as a teenager when I started dating my boyfriend. Jouko is my boyfriend's best friend too and he also was dating my little sister a couple of years. Jouko is a really funny guy and we spend a lot of time with each other.
Last but not least, Anton. He is also my boyfriend's friend. He is a true computer genius and helps me when I have some problems with my laptop. He is a very skeptical person, and is used primarily by all his free time playing or car repair ('cause it's always broken)..
I love my friends a very much, and I don't need any more friends. Those three are the pillars of my life <3

astral:There will be no rotten fruit from me. I sold my ITIC earlier at a lower price (woe is me). I guess I was the "original" traitor.I think you picked a pretty good time to sell. The market has been overly enthusiastic with many companies related to housing. Furniture, home building, building material retailers and title insurers have all done very well. I think there will be a recovery in housing, but I don't think it will be very dynamic and not like it was before. The housing mania will not return for a long time.


text: The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says Hurricane Hernan has strengthened far off Mexico's Pacific coast into a Category 2 storm. The center says the fifth hurricane of the eastern Pacific season poses no threat to land. But Miami-based forecasters reported Hernan's top sustained winds were close to 100 mph early Saturday. That was up from 90 mph a day earlier when Hernan formed as a Category 1 hurricane. Hernan was centered about 970 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula and moving west-northwest, farther out to sea. The hurricane center says Hernan is expected to begin weakening in the next 24 hours as it heads toward cooler Pacific waters.

That's right, the Eugene area market is currently HOT. Correctly priced homes in the low to mid price ranges are flying off the market almost as fast as they come onto it.
Sellers are receiving multiple offers in some cases and the competition for homes is tough.
Why? Low inventory, low prices and low interest rates. Home hunters are looking to take advantage of extraordinary low interest rates and prices before both go back up.
What does this mean for home buyers?
It means if you see a home that you would be sad to see sold to someone else tomorrow, then don't blink or chances are someone else will jump on it.
In both my business and my wife's (she's a Realtor and Buyer Specialist), I've watched many clients regret their hesitation to make an offer, which resulted in losing out on a home that they really wanted.
I'm not saying that you should be in a rush. I'm not saying that you should buy a home that doesn't fit your needs.
I'm simply saying that if you find a house that meets your wants and needs, don't pass it up today thinking that it will still be available tomorrow…not in this market.

Kelsey Plum led Washington to a big lead against No. 3 Stanford. When she fouled out with 1:39 to go, the freshman guard could only watch as the Cardinal rallied.
The Huskies held on for an 87-82 upset but not before giving Plum a scare. Stanford cut a 12-point deficit with 39 seconds left down to three with 8 seconds on the clock.
"That's the most nervous I've ever been in my life," Plum said. "I was sitting there grabbing people's knees and elbows, and biting towels and stuff. But we had a silent confidence that we earned that game and we're not going to give it away in the last minute."
Aminah Williams sealed the win for the Huskies, making a pair of free throws with 4 seconds remaining, and as the final buzzer rang the Washington players danced in celebration at half court.
Plum scored 23 points, one of five players in double figures for the Huskies, which led almost the entire game. It was the highest-ranked opponent the Huskies have beaten since winning against No. 2 Stanford in 1990.
The loss snapped a 62-game road conference winning streak for Stanford (22-2, 11-1 Pac-12), as well as a 14-game run against Washington (13-10, 6-6). The Cardinal's last loss in road or neutral conference games was Jan. 18, 2009, against California in Berkeley. Stanford's only other loss this year came at No. 1 Connecticut.
"That was crazy," said Washington's Talia Walton. "It was a lot of fun to be out there. We knew it was going to be hard, but we wanted it. We really wanted it."
Chiney Ogwumike had 23 points but was held in check for most of the game, and her teammates were unable to pick up the slack. The Cardinal especially had trouble from long-range, shooting 9 for 41 on 3-pointers.
"I thought we slowed them down just enough, and we made them work just enough," Washington coach Mike Neighbors said. "They could have easily gone 15 of 41 and we would not be sitting here, but they didn't."
Mikaela Ruef set career highs with 16 points and 22 rebounds, and Bonnie Samuelson scored 14 for Stanford, which last lost to Washington Dec. 22, 2005, in Seattle.
Washington led 85-73 with less than a minute to go when Stanford started a desperate attempt at a rally. Four straight missed free throws for Washington opened the door as Bonnie Samuelson hit a 3-pointer with 39 seconds to go to start the flurry and then another 3-pointer by Samuelson with 9 seconds left cut the lead to 85-81. The Huskies were called for a 5-second violation on the inbound, and with 7.8 seconds Ogwumike made one of two free throws to make it 85-82. Stanford nearly pulled off another steal on the inbounds pass, but it turned into a tie-up and Washington had the possession arrow. This time, William pulled in a long pass and was fouled for the final free throws.
No. 23 CALIFORNIA 87, at WASHINGTON STATE — Reshanda Gray scored 24 points and Brittany Boyd added 23 as No. 23 California pulled away.
California (16-7, 8-4 Pac-12) trailed by as many as eight in the second half and was down 55-51 with 111/2 minutes to play. The Golden Bears then went on a 24-2 run to mount a 75-57 lead and put the game out of reach as Washington State (12-12, 6-6) went nearly nine minutes down the stretch without scoring from the field.

The Teva Women's Zirra Sandal proves that less is more, offering serious adjustability without smothering your foot in a lot of straps and buckles. The slim webbing on the Zirra locks the performance sole to your foot and adjusts to fit you perfectly.
- Nylon shank offers support and stability
- Shoc Pad in the heel gives you serious shock absorption
- Spider Original rubber grips wet, slippery surfaces
- Water-channeling lug pattern keeps you on your feet
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Something off with this pair
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
I have the exact same style, color, and size that I bought at a local department store, and I've worn them many times over the past year. These were to be a replacement pair, BUT the strap was about an inch shorter than the other pair, and so too short to buckle comfortably over my high arches. Sad to have to send them back.
Great Sandals
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I picked these up for my girlfriend and she loves them! They are so easy to take on and off and they are really light weight and not to mention really grippy on all types of surfaces. The only downside was I left them in my car over a weekend during the summer and the sandal warped under the extreme heat. We got them replaced and haven't had an issue since. Amazing sandal at an amazing price!
If anyone needs anything else, contact me directly and I would love to help you get the best prices/gear advice. My direct email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Feel free to hit me up anytime.
Pretty good
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
They seem to fit comfortably, but look a little big. Definitely durable though, and have been used heavily for some hiking and travels without complaints.
Love them!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
My feet have been through torture the past few years having two babies in two years and then broken sesamoids. Until the sesamoids, I lived in Teva and Reef flip flops 10 months out of the year, but my injury will take possibly a year to fully recover, and until then, flip flops are no-go. I thought I would be stuck in old-lady orthotic sandals until I found these. The footbed is wonderful with a deep heel cup and good arch support. They are also comfortable without being squishy. The heel strap is not adjustable, but this was not a problem for me like it was in Chacos. The two areas that rubbed (my pinky toe and heel) only took a day to resolve and now I wear them every day. I love that there's no velcro to get nasty and worn out, and that they come in half sizes. I tried these on at DSW for size and then ordered from backcountry.com for the best deal. Mine are a half size smaller than I usually wear. I normally wear a wide, and these fit fine.
Too Narrow
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
These sandals look great and have nice tread, but the arch support isn't what I was expecting and they were too narrow for my feet. I do have pretty wide feet but these sandals weren't adjustable enough and they didn't look flattering on my feet.
These shoes look good, they have a comfortable foot bed, and it is nice to have a small strap. However that strap is too long making it very difficult to adjust snuggly on my average size foot. When I wore these shoes around my house, my foot easily slid around and out. These will be returned and that bums me out.
Not for me...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
These had great reviews so I decided to give them a try. I bought my usual size (10) and was a little worried that they would be too narrow since I have a bit wider of a foot. The opposite ended up being true. They were too loose over the front of my foot and there was no way to adjust them. Since they ended up being too loose and would have caused blisters I returned them before ever wearing them.
best ever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
these are awesome because they don't cause hot spots, the straps don't rub in weird ways, and stones don't get stuck in them. the straps are not super bulky looking. also, these are super light, compared to other sandals, ie. chacos. highly recommend!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
When I opened the box and tried them on, they feel wonderful! I have had foot surgery and am a bit picky about shoes, and these are great! Can't wait to take them on my next trip!
I usually go for minimalist shoes (shoes that have little to no arch support, heel support, etc) and these were not quite what I usually go for but I am presently surprised in their comfort.
These sandals have been great for more active things in the summer like biking and playing outside!
These sandals have been great for more active things in the summer like biking and playing outside!
Straps that don't chafe
I have picky feet that usually find straps (especially thinner ones) to be uncomfortable and downright painful. However, I LOVE these sandals!
The footbed is supportive and is thick enough to absorb shock but not heavy enough to feel clunky. The strap doesn't dig into your foot like most strappy sandals do and although there's only one strap, it is secure. I probably wouldn't wear these on any hiking trail (I'd opt for regular Tevas), but will gladly wear these on a long day trek around a city. I finally found a supportive sandal that is comfortable AND cute to wear around town with non-sporty clothes.

When I donated my kidney in 2006, I lived less than 10 miles from the transplant center so travel costs were not an issue for me. Family members and friends close by drove me home from the hospital and to my follow-up appointments. That is not the case for many potential living donors who may perceive travel costs to be an insurmountable obstacle on their path toward donation.
In cases where bridging the distances to link donor with recipient involves much more than calling in a favor to ask for a ride, the National Living Donor Assistance Center (NLDAC) offers needs-based travel grants of up to $6,000. NLDAC grants can transform roadblocks into gateways of opportunity for those that qualify. In fulfillment of one of the NKF's End the Wait program goals, the NLDAC focuses its efforts on removing this common disincentive to living donation.
According to NLDAC Program Coordinator, Holly Warren, RN, CPTC, applications for travel grants must be submitted by one of the 324 registered transplant programs throughout the U.S. on behalf of the living donor. Both the donor and recipient must submit proof of household income since preference is given to donors and recipients that fall below 300% of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) poverty guidelines.
Those guidelines are more generous than one might think. For example, a family of four could have household income of up to $67,050 and still qualify for assistance. The program also makes provisions for those who are over the income threshold, but have special circumstances that may be deemed a "financial hardship."
Each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, so potential donors that exceed the income guidelines, but provide financial support to individuals outside of their household, have significant out-of-pocket medical expenses, or expect to experience a substantial loss of income in the post-donation period may still qualify for a grant.
The federally-funded program has been assisting donors since 2007, and was recently renewed for another four years. According to its website, the NLDAC has been able to fund more than 87% of the 1593 applications it has received.
NLDAC is the payer of last resort, and covers expenses not paid by insurance carriers or other programs. Thus far, 95% of the grant recipients were potential kidney donors, with the remainder being liver donors. Only solid organ living donor transplants are covered by the program.
The time to apply for NLDAC travel assistance is prior to making trips for testing or for the actual donation. It takes at least three weeks for an application to be reviewed, approved and funded. And as Warren explains, "the program cannot pay for expenses that occurred before the application was approved." Grant payments are made via a special American Express card that may be used only for approved travel expenditures like airline tickets, meals and lodging.
Staff at the NLDAC establishes travel budgets based on the application submitted by the transplant center. Donors who need to fly to the transplant center may make their own airplane and hotel reservations, or use the travel agency contracted with the NLDAC. Expenses for caregivers to travel with the living donor are also covered since the donor will not be able to lift luggage and should not travel alone in the initial post-operative period.
Warren finds it gratifying to work with living donors and to be able to provide extra help to support them as they give the gift of life. While she is very happy with her program's successes thus far, she hopes to be able to reach out to help even more people.
The NLDAC website (www.livingdonorassistance.org) provides detailed information on the program, including an eligibility screening tool. Any interested living donors or recipients can call the NLDAC at toll free at 888-870-5002 for more information or inquire about the program at their transplant centers.
Editor's Note: Lora Wilson was a living kidney donor in 2006 and looks forward to traveling to Sweden to watch the 2011 World Transplant Games this summer!

Two people escaped injury after a fire broke out in the kitchen of a Vancouver Heights house early Monday morning.
A woman woke up about 4:45 a.m. to the sound of a fire alarm, said Vancouver Fire Department Capt. Scott Willis. She touched her door, felt that it was hot and left the house through her first-floor bedroom window, he said.
Because the alarm company alerted the fire department of the call at 8508 Silver Star Ave., the agency sent only one engine.
When firefighters arrived, they found smoke had filled the street and the woman told them there was a fire — and her roommate was still inside.
The man did not wake when firefighters yelled and banged on the walls and windows, Willis said. He finally awoke as firefighters started to enter the burning house. They evacuated him through his bedroom window.
Firefighters attacked the flames from outside because the blaze had spread to the attic above the kitchen, and then from inside. It was extinguished within 10 minutes, Willis said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage to the structure was contained to the kitchen and the attic above the kitchen.
Willis said the woman who felt that the door was hot and left through the window responded exactly as fire agencies tell people to react. He also said this was a perfect example of how fire alarms save lives.

Danger Zone D-28 is the twenty-eighgth level in Danger Zone. The objective of level D-28 is to use the birds to eliminate all the pigs. Get at least 47,000 points for 3 stars.
Send the Lazer Bird below the first planet, outside or inside of the gravitational field, and redirecting through the small gap on the right side. Send the next Lazer Bird just inside the pull. Redirect him into the pig and wire tower next to the pig. This should trigger the TNT, causing debris to finish the last pig. (Both shots are very challenging.)

New Dawns: Seven Spectacula
r Sunrise Spots
Whether you're just heading home or just getting up, dawn is one of those moments that can really capture the spirit and soul of a destination. And anyway, sunsets are so last year. From misty mountaintops to vast plains, we encourage you to soak up those amber vibes with a handful of our favourite places for an unmissable sunrise…
Up On High
In the Land of the Rising Sun, there's no better place to see in the dawn than on Japan's highest peak. Standing above the clouds watching the sun burst through them is the best reason to climb Mt Fuji. So, pack for the cold night and set off at night. It will always be crowded, especially during summer's official climbing season, but the sense of shared awe and triumph is overwhelming and part of the pilgrimage.
Another of the world's greatest sunrise peaks doesn't even require much of a trek. Haleakala Volcano in Maui, Hawaii can be reached – at least as far as the visitor centre – by car. The mountain is linked with a lot of tradition and regarded as a spiritual place and daybreak is usually greeted with mele oli (a sacred poem), making for a meditative experience no matter how packed the peak is.
Out To Sea
If you're visiting Orlando or Miami, anywhere on the Atlantic Coast of Florida can provide a pretty special sunrise. When you know there's nothing between you and the ocean for thousands of miles and that you'll be among the first on a whole continent to greet the sun, the experience takes on an extra charm. You're in the sunshine state, so get up with the gulls and the fishermen and grab the rays – and the best beach spot - before everyone else. If you're able to get up that far, the views around Jacksonville on the state's Northeast coast are highly recommended.
Inland Awe
You needn't be in the sky or by the sea for sunrise as long as the scenery and atmosphere is right. On the Masai Mara in Kenya, that means miles of mist-covered flatlands dotted with sparse acacia tree silhouettes and, if you're lucky some big game. And if one blazing orange sky isn't enough for one day, stick around and just turn to the west when the equally spectacular sunset comes in the evening.
The ancient city of Varanasi on the west bank of the Ganges in India offers a mystical daybreak experience as locals and pilgrims descend the riverside steps to pray or bathe in the holy water. Take a sunrise tour on rowboat or just take in the magic from the shore.
Urban Magic
Even where the true horizon is obscured by myriad manmade structures, sunrises can still be special. We often think of the classic city skylines at dusk or under moonlight, but some afford us a view of dark silhouettes against yellow glow - if we're up early enough.
The Pudong district of Shanghai, which features the cities tallest, most recognisable buildings, including the rocket-like Oriental Pearl Tower is handily situated on the Huangpu river's east bank. As famous as the night-lit view is, you get extra drama at dawn.
Similarly, Sydney offers some incredibly vibrant, high contrast viewing if you get in the right spot. Get in position on the west side of the harbour's Circular Key and watch the sun come up behind the Opera House's shell–like structures – at the right angle it looks almost as if the building is giving birth.

Our Goodmans GDB3 box has worked fine for the first 4 months we have had it.
However, for some reason, only two of the buttons on the remote now work, and several channels such as e4, itv and itv2 do not work at all. I have 2 other freeview box's which work perfectly well. It just appears that this is a very poor quality box.

My 22 year old steel frame has developed a few small rust spots....most of them are approx 2 mm or so in size. So this spring I took a wire brush to one of them, then a dremel wire brush and got down to bare metal....and repainted....now a few months later the rust is BACK!!
So this brings up 2 questions:
1. What is the best way to get rid of these small rust spots?? My method obviously failed miserably. I used the search function and it looks like a solvent and clear nail polish may be involved.
2. More importantly....how "necessary" is it to get rid of these small rust spots? I dont really care about aesthetics, I am more concerned about longevity of the frame.

Steven Udvar-Hazy, chief executive of Boeing's largest customer, predicted that both Boeing and Airbus will sharply reduce their output in the coming months.
Two aviation-industry billionaires had tough messages for Boeing workers at a reception before an airplane delivery at Boeing Field in Seattle Friday morning.
Steven Udvar-Hazy, chief executive of Boeing's largest customer, predicted that both Boeing and Airbus will sharply reduce their output in the coming months.
Udvar-Hazy said jet production could drop by a third in the next 18 months. That would inevitably mean layoffs of blue-collar workers locally.
And Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Blue group of airlines, in town to accept a new 777 from Boeing that was originally due before Christmas, described the delivery delay caused by the Machinists strike as "catastrophic."

Most Read Stories
Branson said that if there's a risk of further strikes in the future, he may not buy Boeing again.
Udvar-Hazy, chairman and CEO of International Lease Finance Corp. (ILFC), makes huge deals with both the big jet manufacturers and the airlines. ILFC owns the world's largest wide-body fleet and has 74 Boeing 787 Dreamliners on order. He's in a unique position to assess the true state of the aviation business.
His remarks were much more pessimistic than recent cautious statements from Boeing executives, who have declared production is completely solid at least through the end of this year.
Udvar-Hazy doesn't think so.
"By the fourth quarter, we could definitely see some adjustments," he said. "I'd like to see it sooner.
"It would not be surprising to us if there were 30 to 35 percent cuts over the next 18 months," he added.
He predicted the two major producers will deliver fewer airplanes next year than in 2009.
Udvar-Hazy also forecast a massive decline in orders this year.
"Airlines are focused on survival," he said. "Ordering new airplanes is not the flavor of the month."
In fact, he said, this year could see a net negative tally in the order books.
"It could happen that this will be the year when net cancellations and deferrals actually exceed the number of new aircraft orders," Udvar-Hazy said. "The elements are out there for that to happen."
The year has already begun with negative net orders for both Airbus and Boeing.
The European plane maker booked just four orders in January but lost 12 orders to cancellations, for a net reduction of 8.
Through Feb. 3, Boeing had booked 18 new orders, but canceled 31 for a net decline of 13.
At an interview at the reception, Branson expressed anger at how much the Machinist strike cost V Australia, the new international unit of his Virgin Blue airline in Australia.
His passengers were left stranded because V Australia's new 777-300ER, parked Friday on Boeing Field, wasn't available for the peak holiday-travel season down under, Branson said.
"It was a horrible mess that Boeing was on strike. We messed up tens of thousands of passengers over Christmas," he said. "We had to buy tickets on other airlines and scramble to get seats which weren't available. The financial damage in an industry where the margins are minute is catastrophic."
Boeing contracts typically include a provision that it is not required to pay airlines compensation for delays due to strikes.
"We're already thinking there's another lot of planes we want to order. Do we give it to Boeing or should we go to Airbus, which doesn't go on strike?" Branson said. "We have a choice. Do we have to come back to Boeing? If there's a danger of ever having another strike, we won't."
At this point, Branson turned to Udvar-Hazy and said Udvar-Hazy had been making the same point at dinner last night.
"You can't deal with companies that are unreliable," Udvar-Hazy said.
At the suggestion that Boeing could hardly guarantee no future strikes, Branson said he would have to examine whether Boeing has "an unreliable management/work-force situation."
"Britain was plagued by strikes 30 years ago," added Branson, who is English. "America should have got over this by now."

Cycles of Poverty and Consumption: The Sustainability Dilemma
Farias, Christine, Farias, Gerard, Competition Forum
The current wave of attention to sustainability represents the challenges that the businesses in the future will need to address. The traditional notions of growth and development need to be reexamined in the light of these challenges. This paper focuses on the adequacy of enterprise based solutions to poverty and the potential for unintended consequences. It examines the dilemma of addressing economic growth and poverty alleviation on one side and the need to halt and possibly reverse the damage that has been done to our environment on the other side. We examine the resulting tensions between the poverty trap, consumption trap and resource limits.
Keywords: Sustainable Development, Poverty, Environment, Resource Constraints, Consumption, Economic Growth
Imagine a "state of the world" speech to be delivered by an imaginary world leader seeking re-election. Would such a leader have much to say that would cause a majority of the global population to vote for him or her? We doubt it. More than half the world is poor and does not have access to clean water, energy, health services, education, employment and reasonable housing. They do have access to disease, malnutrition and poor sanitation.
The 2008 Copenhagen Consensus Report and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (UNMDG) focus on several priorities for the future. These priorities appropriately focus on the causes and consequences of global poverty and global warming. These challenges are closely connected. For instance the rising sea levels caused by climate change could displace 200 million people, most of them poor (Stern, 2006). Taking a different perspective, economic development efforts focusing on poverty alleviation are likely to further exacerbate the problem of global warming. There is an urgent need to find new and integrated solutions. There is an urgent need to act.
In this paper we discuss the issues of global sustainable development and some of the enterprise based solutions that have been proposed in the recent past. In particular, we examine the relationships between sustainable development, poverty alleviation, environmental challenges, resource constraints, and consumption patterns and argue that we as a human race will need to make hard choices taking into consideration not only the benefits to ourselves, but also the costs to others.
It is estimated that almost 4 billion of the world's 6.5 billion people live on a meager $2.00 per day (Prahalad and Hammond, 2002). While some of these 4 billion people have some hope, there are about a billion people who belong to the poorest countries that are failing-they see little hope of escaping poverty (Collier, 2007). Shepherd (2007) estimates that 420 million people are chronically poor and under current conditions are unlikely to ever break out of their poverty traps-they see no hope at all. Meanwhile, we see in the popular media an increasing number of examples of wealth accumulation by a few in amounts beyond comprehension. For example, the world's most expensive home sale (95 million US dollars) took place in the United States of America in June 2008 (Clough, 2008). 1 percent of the world's population owns 40 percent of the world's wealth according to a UN study (United Nations University-World Institute for Development Economic Research [UNU-WIDER], 2008). While the last five years have seen unprecedented levels of global wealth creation, the number of chronically poor people has increased (Chronic Poverty Research Center, 2008). This increase has taken place even while the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (UNMDG) called for a 50 percent reduction in global poverty by the year 2015. Our philosophical or ideological leanings not withstanding, we should all be outraged by this situation. Obviously, prior attempts to alleviate poverty have failed. We need new solutions and we need them now. …

Posts from 4th of July
Decision Night Decorations
Ms. Sandy Storm is dominating the news cycle right now, but politics will soon come screaming back and the presidential election will be here before you know it. If you've decided to host a party that night (or even just surround your own self with festive gear), here's some vintage inspiration. These decorations will turn your home of the brave into an poll-worthy place. Psst: they'll even do double-duty next 4th of July.
Classic Color: Variations on
Red, White & Blue
Every 4th of July, the classic colors of the flag take center stage. Turns out the patriotic red, white and blue, or variations of the shades, work well all year round in the design world. Here are some sophisticated, subtle takes on red, white, and blue which can be used to create a quietly patriotic look, without a flag in sight.
Come On, Let Your Colors Burn:
Fireworks Art For The 4th
The noise of fireworks might freak me out each & every year, but oh, I do love the sight. When the sky drips with gold, my heart flutters, and the world is a bit more magical. In keeping with my philosophy of Seasonal (Not Holiday) Decoration, I've rounded up my favorite works of art featuring fireworks..
Holiday Nostalgia: 4th of July Photos
from the Past
Don't feel like braving the heat today for the parades and fireworks? Stay cool and flip through some patriotic summery scenes we've collected from decades past.
A Modern Approach to Folk Art
American Style
American folk art used to have a bad rap, labeled primitive or naive compared to other fine art. Traditional woven rugs, carvings, and quilts - once valued in families and small communities for their utility - are now recognized by the larger world as a legitimate bottom up approach to beautiful design. Created by self-taught artists, they have their own patterns and expressed traditions, unique to region and individual maker. Think Navajo rugs, or the vibrant quilts of Gees Bend, and you know what I mean.
Songs to Sing on the 4th of July
Growing up, our small town had an annual 4th of July parade complete with a marching band and in the evenings we usually gathered with our neighbors for food and song. So I've always associated the holiday with music, especially traditional American songs. The problem is I only seem to know the first few lines of most of them and then I resort to humming. If you, too, need to brush up, I've put together some crib notes, links to lyrics and a link to one of my favorite performances of each song.
Fireworks in the Flower Bed
Fireworks displays come around just once a year (except for whenever the Giants win, or the Golden Gate Bridge turns 75, or whenever your rowdy neighbors feel like it), but the fun of fireworks can continue in your garden all summer long, and even into the fall. Firework-esque flowers are festive, much quieter than actual fireworks, and don't freak out your dogs…
O Say Can You See: Etiquette for Displaying the American Flag
What better day to review the official U.S. code of etiquette for displaying the American flag than the 4th of July? Grab a sparkler, class is in session.

Apartment Therapy's Annual Guide
What better time than the 4th of July to update our list of home furnishings manufactured in the United States! Since we last looked at the list, we've made some trips to High Point Market and the Hickory Chair Showroom - both North Carolina stalwarts - and we've heard from our community of readers about companies we left off the list.
How To Take Top-Notch Fireworks Photos
If you're planning on turning to the skies to catch some 4th of July fireworks, here's some tips for taking frame-worthy photos. Whether you're an expert with your point and shoot or a novice with a DSLR, there are a few easy things you can do with either to get quality pictures.

RP Attracts Textile Investors from Taiwan, China, Korea; after Signing of JPEPA Which Eliminated Tariffs
Byline: BERNIE CAHILES-MAGKILAT
The Philippines is attracting garment and textile investors from Taiwan, China and Korea following the signing of the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA), in which both countries agreed to eliminate immediately tariffs on almost all textiles and apparels.
This was revealed by Garments and Textile Export Board (GTEB) executive director Serafin Juliano. He, however, refused to prematurely identify these firms.
The JPEPA signed by Japan Minister Junichiro Koizumi and President Gloria Arroyo during the ASEAN Three (Japan, Korea, China) Leaders Summit in Vientiane, Laos in November last year has identified industries including garments and textile for tariff elimination over a 10year period.
This means duty-free exports for Philippine-made products to Japan and vice-versa.
In 2003, Japan exported to the Philippines $9.47 billion worth of goods mainly machinery and electronics parts.
On the other hand, Philippines exports to Japan totaled $7.41 billion, led by bananas, mangoes and other fruits and farm products.
Meantime, Julinao reported that two weeks after the abolition of the quota system, the domestic garment industry indicated it is off to a good start with increased orders both in garments and textiles.
"The feedback is encouraging," Juliano said after meeting with different garment and textile exporters.
According to Juliano, the industry, which has been prepared well in advance for the quota lifting, indicated it has adjusted to the quota-less regime.
The strategy, Juliano said is to reduce dependence on China because of the existing safeguards imposed on some garment categories and textile.
As a result, the domestic industry that also vowed to continue improving and sustain multi-level platform focusing on value-driven products. …

Occupational Health Services at Oregon State University is a comprehensive program that strives to strengthen the campus safety culture by serving to protect employees who are at risk. Risks are everywhere in the workplace and few jobs are without hazards. Student Health Services partners with Environmental Health and Safety to provide medical screening, surveillance, immunizations and health and safety education to faculty, staff and student employees in the course of their employment at OSU.
As of September 2014, Occupational Health is now centrally funded. Since its creation, the program has strived to strengthen the culture of safety on campus by serving to protect employees who are at risk, related to their occupation or job-related duties. With this significant change, the program will no longer bill departments. Occupational Health will continue to provide several work-related services to faculty, staff and student employees through medical screenings, surveillance, immunizations, travel consults, hearing tests and other health and safety education. Without the barrier of fees for service, more departments and employees on campus can be served by this program.
OSU President Edward J. Ray addresses the importance of compliance committees in serving the research activities of the university. Read his statement.
