The rules of the past of not being able to wear white after Labor Day is quickly shedding its influence.
Now, an all white hysteria is on full display as the color is among the top trending colors for the season.
White will always be in, just like its black adversary, and per norm white has traditionally been relegated to special occasions such as christenings and weddings.
This season, however, the clash between an all white fit and a backdrop of snowy white flakes makes for a picturesque sight. Here are 8 stunning winter white looks that perfect the trend.

Minutewomen Support Local Community During Preseason
Sept. 28, 2012
Video: Minutewomen Support The Walk To End Alzheimer's
AMHERST, Mass. - Despite balancing a full schedule of classes with preseason training, the UMass women's basketball still focuses on helping support the Amherst-area community during the fall months. Recently the team took the opportunity to participate in The Walk To End Alzheimer's on Holyoke Community College's campus on Saturday, Sept. 22, while select members of the squad traveled to the Hatfield Public Library to assist with its afterschool program on Tuesday, Sept. 25.
"Community Service is a priority for our basketball family," UMass head coach Sharon Dawley said. "We have been blessed with this amazing opportunity to grow at UMass and it is our hope that we can share this with our neighbors."
Dawley has created an environment where service to the community and those that support the program is an essential part of the student-athlete experience, and The Walk To End Alzheimer's holds a special place among all of the service projects UMass participates in.
UMass women's basketball administrative assistant Katie Leonis' father, Wally, suffers from Alzheimer's and Leonis' family and friends march in the event as a team, "Wally's Warriors." Dawley saw the importance of the event to Leonis and asked the UMass women's basketball family to join in.
"We went out to the Walk To End Alzheimer's event to help out Ms. Katie [Lenois]," said senior guard Dee Montgomery. "She is near and dear to our hearts with this event."
Montgomery, teammate Ronni Grandison and Director of Basketball Operations May Kotsopoulos continued to reach out to the local community through the Hatfield Public Library on Tuesday afternoon. While in Hatfield, the trio participated in the after-school activity program held by the library, teaching the elementary school-age children present the importance of staying active with a number of basketball-related drills and games.
"It is always a good feeling to be able to give back, help the community and let everyone know that we are more just basketball players and students," Montgomery said. "We want to be involved in the community, show how much we care and get to know the people who support us."
The Minutewomen open the 2012-13 season at home against Kent State on Saturday, Nov. 10 with a 2 p.m. contest at the Mullins Center.

The New York State Commission On Judicial Conduct has determined that Erie County Family Court Judge, Paul G. Buchanan, should be censured for making an ex parte visit to a hospitalized teen who was involved in a juvenile delinquency case he was presiding over. According to a December 27 press release, the recommendation was also based on incidents when Buchanan shouted at, demeaned and berated an attorney and a probation officer who had appeared before him.
Buchanan's visit to a 14-year-old girl in 2009 after she overdosed and was hospitalized appears to have been well-intentioned. According to the Commission's decision, he gave her an age-appropriate book and cookies and "told her that her mother and grandmother loved her and that she had a lot to live for." However, Buchanan did not notify or seek authorization for the visit from the girl's mother, doctor, attorney or the attorney for the presentment agency. Nor did he recuse himself from the case, when the attorney for the presentment agency filed a motion seeking his recusal.
Concerning the visit to the girl, the commission wrote:
"Respondent should have recognized that such an unauthorized, private visit, however well-intentioned, would create an appearance of impropriety and compromise his impartiality (Rules, §1OO.2[A]) and thus was inconsistent with the proper role of a judge. A judge is not a therapist or social worker and has a responsibility, especially when dealing with vulnerable, troubled litigants, to ensure that appropriate boundaries are maintained. Respondent's misconduct is exacerbated by his failure to disclose the ex parte meeting and his failure to recuse himself promptly thereafter."
The incidents involving Buchanan acting discourteous to professionals appearing in his courtroom went beyond simply acting discourteous on at least one occasion. According to the commission's determination:
"In Farrar v. Kinne, a custody and visitation matter, respondent not only was discourteous to the law guardian who was attempting to assert his rights as the attorney for the child, but also foreclosed the attorney from exercising his rights. Respondent conducted an abbreviated hearing that deprived the parties of a full right to be heard and created an appearance that he engineered the result. By foreclosing cross-examination, he failed to afford an essential element of due process. Foreclosing the mother's attorney from cross-examining the father seem's to indicate that respondent had already decided he would rule in the mother's favor."
Buchanan acknowledged "that his actions were inconsistent with the ethical standards and the procedures required by law." He co-operated with the commission and pledged "to conduct himself in accordance with the Rules in the future."
The commission's full determination can be read here.

Dragon Isles of Ambar Legends Legends Campaign Supplements Game Design
Stuff of Legend! is the home of a roleplaying game system and campaign world.
Geography Races History Life in Ambar Magic and Mythos Bestiary Glossary Ambar World Map Dragonhawk Campaigns
The Dragon Isles of Ambar is a fantasy campaign setting and the basis of the Dragonhawk campaigns. This is a dangerous land of unfolding mystery, adventure, and wonder.
The Dragon Isles of Ambar float beneath nine moons
Since the beginning of recorded history, the immortal Draconian Empire has held the known world in an adamant grasp, with invincible city-states and temples to their exacting Dragon Gods along every shore. The ageless dragon-scarred Baal dominated every people who would not bow to the Urumaiar dragon gods, save for the crafty Southmarens and stubborn Kith of the icy wastes. The Baal not only controlled the cities, but also were strict wardens of "dangerous" knowledge, particularly accounts of prehistorical events and non-draconic magics and faiths. The Baal were hard masters, and the long years were not kind to the mortal races: most of whom can only recall the sharp tail of the long-lived empire, an era of slow decline marked with demonstrations of power, often made more hars [ more... ]

The Legends Roleplaying System is a lightweight pencil-and-paper roleplaying game that emphasizes free-form character creation and flexible game play. Legends keeps your game focused on roleplaying.
Freeform Characters
Legends has an especially flexible and liberating character creation process. The "character sheet" is collection of freeform Themes and Traits. Everything is written in the players own words; there are no numbers or stats on the character sheet, nor are there any prescriptive lists of classes, skills, or items.
Each player creates his character by outlining four key Themes such as "grizzled old soldier", "renowned swordsman", "world explorer", and "secretly a black wizard". Next, smaller details and gear are written down as Traits within the Themes, so the "grizzled old soldier" Theme might include Traits like "war cry", "strong arm". Items are also Traits, so he might have a "notched longsword" and wear a "chainmail hauberk".
The focus is on character development rather than advancement.
Nimble Rules
The core rules are small and beautiful, and designed to help keep players in-character and roleplaying. Classic polyhedral dice are used, but in modern ways.
The players make most of the rolls. This is for a few reasons: fun, a sense of empowerment, and to unburden the GM. Players can stay immersed in role-playing even while rolling because rolls are are based on the freeform Themes and Traits that were defined by the players, not stats or modifiers. Finally, the GM describes the outcome, so the greater story is not fully decided by dice, just influenced by them.
A player rolls 4d6. Each die of 5+ counts as a "success", and the overall number of successes (0-4) determines the outcome: no successes is a failure, a single success is a "partial" with a side effect, two is a "full" success, and past that is a "great" success like a critical hit.
The GM fluidly varies the number of six-sided dice the player may roll from the default of 4d6 to reflect the difficulty of the action. For example, an "impossibly difficult" cliff climb would only be 1 die.
Players can optionally spend Chips to enhance character actions, but always do so by calling out a Theme or Trait to justify each Chip. For example, a character with Themes or Traits such as "grizzled old soldier" and "renowned swordsman" could use them together in a wild melee against his foes. [ more... ]

The Slow Revelation of Poland's 'CIA Detention Facilities'
The question of whether Poland hosted a secret detention facility for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency remains murky, but evidence is mounting, slowly.
All may become a lot clearer if Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza is correct in reporting Wednesday that Poland's former leaders may face war crime charges for agreeing to host the facility.
According to earlier unconfirmed reports, Poland hosted a secret CIA prison in 2002-2005, during the presidency of Aleksander Kwasniewski and the government run by Leszek Miller, both leaders of the left-leaning Democratic Left Alliance.
Reports of the existence of the prison first appeared in 2005, and in 2007 a Council of Europe investigation led by Dick Marty concluded it had "factually established that secret detention centers operated by the CIA have existed for some years in Poland and Romania" and possibly other states, with the Polish facility being host to detainees who were considered especially sensitive.
It said "The detainees were subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment, sometimes protracted."
Polish authorities have repeatedly denied the existence of any facility.
Since then, news media brought more details. In June 2008, the New York Times said, citing unnamed CIA officers, that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had been held in Poland. A Kuwaiti suspected of mass murder of civilians, he remains in U.S. custody. Later in the year, Polish daily Dziennik quoted two anonymous Polish intelligence officers who said the CIA held terror suspects inside a military intelligence training base in Kiejkuty, northeastern Poland. Only the CIA had access to the zone created in the secluded base, but which had easy access to a former military airport in the vicinity, according to the report.
Earlier this year for the first time the Polish aviation authority delivered the first official confirmation that airplanes operated by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency landed in Poland in 2003.
In the latest development, Poland's former leaders Kwasniewski and Miller may stand trial before the State Tribunal, a rarely-used special court designed to try Poland's top officials according to Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza. The prosecutor on the case wants to ask the Speaker of Parliament to start the criminal procedure against the former leaders, according to the report. The case would first go to a parliamentary committee and then to the lower house of parliament, which has the power to decide whether or not to press charges, the daily says.
Under the Polish law, top officials — presidents, prime minister and cabinet ministers — cannot stand trial before a regular court for the alleged work-related criminal offenses they may have committed while in office. The State Tribunal has so far handled just a handful of cases since its creation in 1921.
Kwasniewski told Gazeta Wyborcza that Poland had cooperated with the CIA under his watch, with CIA operating flights to the Polish intelligence facility in Kiejkuty. But he again denied the CIA operated a secret detention facility there.
"There was no prison," he said. "I have no information about Americans torturing prisoners in Poland."
The prosecutor's motion will require political support in parliament. A majority behind the concept that the country must reveal its secrets and prosecute its leaders for cooperating with their U.S. ally may be difficult if not impossible to build.

When you see the Scottish dancers heading down the street during the Festival of Fantasy Parade, which kicks off in March in the Magic Kingdom, you'll know that the "Brave" float is coming. The media got a peek at the costumes that the dancers will sport during a special media preview on February 10.
As you can see in the slideshow accompanying this article, the costumes are both colorful and true to the popular Disney-Pixar film. They have rich patterns and an eye-catching color palate that will act as a suitable herald for the arrival of girl power heroine princess Merida atop a majestic crown on a float shaped like a giant bagpipe.
Festival of Fantasy is as much about performance as it is about the scope of the impressive floats and the intricately detailed costumes, so you'll get to see the dancers step to Highlands melodies. Senior Show Director Randy Wojcik called the parade choreography "gorgeous," explaining that Festival of Fantasy is done on a scale "never before seen at Walt Disney World."
The original music for this float, as well as all the others, was composed for Mark Hammond. He's renowned for his word on World of Color at Disney California Adventure and the Flights of Fantasy parade at Hong Kong Disneyland.

Stella Days Movie Reviews
User reviews on Stella Days
I thought this film was quite good and interesting and I think it is worth the price of the movie ticket. I stumbled upon this film on a complete accident and had no idea what it is about or who is in it. It was a nice surprise when i saw Martin Sheen in it who was really good as usual. The film is a bit slow but it is a good story and the characters are very well developed and well written and you truly care what happens to them. I thought the rest of the cast did a great job as well. Overall, I think this film is well worth watching in the theaters.

The National Park Service banned drones from flying over national markets because of safety issues and noise problems, and it seems a banned drone was crashed into Yellowstone National Park's Grand Prismatic Spring on August 2.
The drone hasn't been recovered and specific damage to the natural spring remains unknown, but will try to determine where the drone crashed. The spring is 300 feet across and up to 160-feet deep, making it the largest in the United States.
"We don't know what damage may have been caused when it entered the hot spring, but we also don't know what kind of damage could be caused by leaving it there or by taking it out," said Amy Bartlett, a U.S. National Park Service official, in a statement to LiveScience.

May 11, 2007 Vision Research showed off a very special new camera at the recent NAB in Las Vegas, and SAE World Congress in Detroit - the first in a new line of Phantom high-speed digital cameras. The Phantom Miro line is a compact, light-weight, rugged family of cameras targeted at industrial applications ranging from biometric research to automotive crash testing. Rated to survive 100g acceleration this rugged camera can take 512x512 images at up to 2200 frames-per-second (fps). Reduce the resolution to 32 x 32 and achieve frame rates greater than 95,000 fps. With an ISO rating of 4800 (monochrome, saturation-based ISO 12232), the camera has the light sensitivity for the most demanding applications. With shutter speeds as low as 2 microseconds, the user can freeze objects in motion, eliminate blur, and bring out the image detail needed for successful motion analysis. The camera accepts any standard 1" C-mount lens. See a movie of what it can do here. Read More
May 4, 2007 A computer model designed by a mathematician at the University of Liverpool has shown that it is possible to make objects, such as aeroplanes and submarines, appear invisible at close range. Scientists have already created an 'invisibility cloak' made out of 'metamaterial' which can bend electromagnetic radiation – such as visible light, radar or microwaves – around a spherical space, making an object within this region appear invisible. Until now, scientists could only make objects appear invisible from far away. Liverpool mathematician Dr Sebastien Guenneau, together with Dr Frederic Zolla and Professors Andre Nicolet from the University of Marseille, have proven - using a computer model called GETDP - that objects can also be made to appear invisible from close range when light travels in waves rather than beams. Scientists predict that metamaterials could be of use in military technology, such as in the construction of fighter jets and submarines, but it will be some years before invisibility cloaks can be developed for human beings.Read More
February 26, 2007 Adding further validity to the "sound systems should be heard and not seen" school of thought is the news that long-term discerner of public taste Bang & Olufsen is to release a passive loudspeaker that can be placed in places where active loudspeakers fall short. Bang & Olufsen has played a leading role in the evolution of entertainment systems and its BeoVox 1 points to the future of home entertainment. Being a built-in loudspeaker, BeoVox 1 fits nicely and discreetly in hallways or rooms where you do not have much space. It can be completely concealed in the walls or in the ceiling. It's extremely well suited for places where the primary activity is not listening to music, but where you'd still like to have music either as secondary entertainment or background sound. Another product from the imagination of designer David Lewis, the two-way passive system includes 1" treble unit and a 6" mid-range/bass unit, delivering a frequency range of 50-20,000 Hz.Read More
April 1, 2005 Sonance, the company that originated high fidelity in-wall loudspeakers some 22 years ago, has acquired the IP of its major competitor Sound Advance Systems for "invisible" loud speaker technology. These technologies offer a range of unique and compelling loudspeaker features in that they are completely undetectable and provide a wide, virtually omnidirectional sound dispersion pattern and are ideal for applications requiring background and foreground music, voice paging, surround sound, and multi-room systems. Sound Advance speakers can be found in such exclusive locations as the Dolce & Gabana, Luis Vuitton, Prada, Armani and Chanel boutiques in cities such as Milan, Paris, New York, Beverly Hills, and St. Moritz, and have been the centerpiece of numerous CEDIA Electronic Lifestyle award winning residential installations.Read More
February 12, 2005 In the future, cell phone users will be able to leave messages anywhere in the form of what might be termed electronic post-its. They will be able to post virtual messages referring to a specific location wherever they are needed. Siemens researchers have now created the technical basis and the computer programs for this "digital graffiti service." Post-its are exceedingly practical. They're a handy way of letting people know if you've gone out quickly to shop or to lunch, or for reminding you to do things. However, you can't stick these yellow memos in mid-air - at least not yet. But that will be possible in future with the virtual post-its from Siemens Corporate Technology's research laboratory in Munich. Dieter Kolb's team of specialists have developed computer programs that assign cell phone messages to specific locations. Read More

The 2014 World Figure Skating Championships kicks off on Tuesday, March 25 in Saitama, Japan. Post-Olympic World Championships are known for being quite an interesting event, as most skaters are completely spent following the Olympic Games and most of the medalists do not return for the World Championships, leaving quite a void, yet allowing for some newbies to land on the podium. This season is no different.
Of the twelve figure skating medalists from the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, only five skaters will compete at these World Championships. Some skaters have retired directly following the Olympics, while others are making this their final farewell and a few young faces are appearing onto the scene as well.
The ladies event should be very fascinating. Newly crowned Olympic gold medallist, Adelina Sotnikova is listed as a sub as her federation announced that they wanted to give her time to rest after the Olympics. Yuna Kim is also out of the picture as she chose to retire directly following the Olympic Games, so the door is open for Olympic bronze medalist, Carolina Kostner. If she skated as well as she did in Sochi, the world title could very well be hers, but she has a youngster on her tail. Russia's Julia Lipnitskaia will be competing at this event. It will be so interesting to see how Julia does after her devastating performance at the Olympics—this could either be redemption for her or reveal that she is not completely ready for this type of intense competition.
The American ladies will have their work cut out for them. Gracie Gold, Ashley Wagner and Polina Edmunds all competed at the Olympic Games and now will have one more shot this season at the World Championships in hopes of overcoming Mao Asada, Carolina Kostner and Julia Lipnitskaia. After a very full season it will be interesting to see how they do.
The scoring in the ladies event will also be worth watching. After the uproar at the Olympics, it will be very intriguing to see what the judging looks like for the Russian skaters. Many wonder if the scoring was the Russian "home field" advantage or if the scores were legitimately earned.
Three-time World Champion, Patrick Chan has opted not to compete at worlds this season, which leaves the door wide open for a new champion to emerge. One of the few Olympic medalists competing is Olympic Champion, Yuzuru Hanyu, who will most likely make this a golden year by adding World Champion to his growing repertoire.
Contenders for the second and third spot could very well be Spain's Javier Fernandez or possibly even the American men. This is supposed to be Jeremy Abbott's final competitive event and after a tough Olympics, one can only guess what will happen next. After not making the Olympic team, Max Aaron has got to be hungry to go out there and compete. Without an Olympic Games to drain him, he might just come ready for the fight.
Olympic gold medalists, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, have chosen not to compete at worlds this year, leaving the door open for the Germans to possibly have some redemption. Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy were going for the gold in Sochi, but after a rough free skate barely held onto the bronze. Hoping to give the Germans a run for their money, Russian silver medalists, Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov will be contenders this year after a surprisingly strong performance at the Olympics.
Just days before leaving for Japan, American Caydee Denney suffered an injury forcing Denney and Coughlin to withdraw and giving Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bartholomay one more event this season. Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir, from the United States are also set to compete.
Ice Dance
This might just be one of the most exciting ice dancing events in years. With gold medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White opting out of worlds and Virtue and Moir choosing to retire, the world title that has been owned by these two teams since 2010 is now up for grabs. This will be another event where the scoring will be very fascinating to examine as there was some debate about the Russian skating scores at the Olympic Games.
Russian Olympic bronze medalists Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov are sure to be contenders along with Olympic fourth place finishers Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat from France and Italy's Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte.
For the U.S., Maia Shibutani and Alex Shibutani, Madison Chock and Evan Bates and Alexandra Aldridge and Daniel Eaton will be competing this season in hopes of filling Davis and White's void.
There is quite a bit up in the air for this World Championships this season, but one thing is for sure—there will be some new faces on the world podium this year.

A window-washing rig on the John Hancock Tower hanging about 20 feet high struck a worker on the ground this morning after one side of it suddenly dropped, according to the Boston Fire Department.
Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said the worker, who suffered non-life threatening injuries when the incident occurred at 10:17, works for the window-washing company.
Boston EMS confirmed that he was transferred by ambulance to Brigham and Women's Hospital. He did not know whether anyone was in the rig at the time.
"[The rig] is parallel with the building and one end shifts, so it was almost at a 45 degree angle," MacDonald said.
MacDonald said he did not know if the worker on the ground was adjusting the rig's position when it dropped or the specific cause for the accident, and he could not identify the company or the worker.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident.Zolan Kanno-Youngs can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @KannoYoungs

Editors' note: This content is provided by Early Moments Matter, a campaign dedicated to making sure every child has the best possible chance at emotional well-being. Find out how to receive the Early Moments Matter tool kit and provide one to a family in need.
Why attachment is important
From the moment they arrive, babies are ready to teach us what they need. And as you learn, recognize, and provide what they need, you will teach your children about the world around them. Although this two-way process doesn't happen overnight – think of it as more of a journey than a destination – it is one of the most important, if not the most important, journeys you can take with your child.
According to a growing body of scientific evidence, children with responsive caregivers during the first year of life develop a stronger ability to manage stress, form healthier relationships, perform better in school, and enjoy higher self-worth. Overall, they have a greater shot at a well-balanced and fulfilling life.
Does this mean an adopted child or one born into a blended family is at a disadvantage from the start? No. Does it mean that working or divorced parents can't give their children enough attention to grow into healthy adults? Absolutely not!
Whether you are a single parent, grandparent, stepparent, adoptive parent, foster parent, a CEO or unemployed, you can form a healthy attachment with your baby.
Won't I spoil my child?Do you want your baby to be happy? Of course! But it's hard to know where to draw the line sometimes. Will too much snuggling make the child clingy and insecure? Will too much love smother the poor thing? In many circles it's been considered common wisdom to let a child cry in order not to spoil the kid. But a growing number of studies are shedding new light on the issue. More often than not, experts now advise: Respond to that child.
The attachment theory
To understand why, it helps to know a bit about what's called attachment theory. All infants naturally attach to their primary caregivers, even to adults who are less nurturing. But it's the nature of the attachment – whether it's secure or insecure – that makes the lifelong difference. (By the way, when psychologists say "attachment" they are talking about the child's relationship to you. "Bonding" refers to your feelings about the child.)
Babies with a healthy, secure attachment understand that the parent or caregiver is a source of comfort and a solid base from which to explore and play. These babies miss their caregivers when they leave and feel relieved when they return. With a strong emotional foundation of trust, they grow into confident, competent, caring adults.
What happens if your baby doesn't connect with you?
About 35 percent of babies form unhealthy, insecure attachments. In their young minds, it's not clear that their parents will come through for them. Often they do the best they can to maintain a connection, sometimes trying to get their caregiver's attention and sometimes giving up.
As a result, these children can become overdependent (terrified when their caregivers leave) or inappropriately independent (they barely notice). Still others are scared or chaotic in the presence of their parents. These children may be vulnerable to problems like anxiety, anger, and depression. They may also have trouble socially – often acting out, behaving disobediently – and lack motivation in school.
You can make a difference
Most scientists believe that what makes the difference between healthy and unhealthy attachment is the parent's response. Ignoring or rejecting the baby's needs, or reacting inconsistently to them, tends to create an insecure attachment. Self-absorbed, controlling, abusive, and hostile caregiving can have long-lasting, damaging effects.
But when parents react sensitively, reassuringly, and consistently to their child, they create a secure, healthy attachment. The reason? To an infant, it's important that caregivers understand what he or she needs. When that happens, the baby learns to trust.
Dependence leads to independence
A key concept in attachment theory is that a child's dependence ultimately leads to independence. In other words, it's only when children feel they can count on their parents to be available – and when they consistently find the world to be a safe and approachable place – that they develop the confidence to fully explore and play on their own.
That's not to say the child should get whatever he or she wants, notes child psychologist Kori Skidmore. Rather, when the baby expresses a need or desire, the parent should give an "I hear you" sign.
For example, you stop in a shopping mall restroom to change a diaper and your 6-month-old stages a loud protest. You don't give in – you just calmly start changing the diaper while acknowledging the child's distress by saying, "I know it's annoying. It must be terrible to have a wet diaper. I bet you'll feel so much better. And then we can go outside. Won't that be fun?" The words won't mean anything, but your tone reassures the child that you get it. You understand your baby's discomfort or pain.
Why the first year is key
This kind of attention is especially important during the first year because that's when the brain is growing the fastest. In particular, the emotion-focused right brain is developing rapidly (it slows down in the second year). While babies don't remember specific moments during these early months, they rely on what they've experienced to retrieve emotions.
For instance, they will turn toward a comforting person for help in managing the stress of their world, especially if they've had a loving exchange with that person before. Being responsive and emotionally available to your child reinforces this connection.
In fact, building healthy attachment is an ongoing process. As children grow and gain the confidence to reach out into the world, parents are their teachers. Even teenagers need a safe place to turn and responsiveness from people who care. The emotional connections, established in the first year and strengthened over childhood and adolescence, will help your baby become a happy, productive adult. You'll be a much happier parent as well.
Early Moments Matteris relying on you to help spread the word about their award-winning Early Moments Matter tool kit. This valuable resource is filled with tools, tips, and insights to help your children build secure attachments. You can help parents and families in need simply by ordering a tool kit.

Success Story: Darcy – Two Years Later, Hormones, High Cholesterol, & Osteopenia
We often tell you of current patients that are finding success on their Hauser Diet, but we commonly hear,"Will I be on this diet forever?" or "I hope I can keep up this success." The answer is: You can! We know that there are a lot of crazy diets out there that promise quick and easy changes. But the Hauser Diet is a diet for a lifetime. Sure, there may be a few tweaks here and there, and we will certainly advise you on those if your particular case requires them, but the Hauser Diet is designed to support your physiology for a lifetime!
We recently had a long-time patient come back to see us to get some more ideas for variety in her diet. Darcy came to Caring Medical in August of 2006 with concerns over her hormone levels, her high cholesterol, and her osteopenia that had been diagnosed three months before. Her test results from Diet Typing showed that she should follow the Bear Diet. She first met with Caring Medical's nutritionist in September of 2006 and after carefully examining Darcy's diet, the nutritionist made appropriate recommendations.
Once month later Darcy received her food allergy test results. Their were a number of foods that tested positive for antibodies: dairy, chicken, gluten, malt, cod, halibut, red snapper, sardine, sole, trout, orange roughy, walnut, avocado, pineapple, asparagus, garlic, and kidney bean. Darcy worked with the nutritionist to come up with meal ideas that fit within the Bear Diet but also avoided her food allergies. Darcy worked very hard and followed the diet as closely as she could and also took all of the recommended supplements.
In December of 2007 Darcy returned to Caring Medical and reported that she was down to 148 pounds — right around her original goal weight. She had lost 4 dress sizes in the past two years (2 dress sizes while on the Bear Diet). Her bone density tests showed that she had increased bone mass and her cholesterol was in the normal range! Darcy was very happy with these results. She kept in touch via email over the next few years and would return once a year for a check-up with Dr. Hauser. She recently came to the office to report that she had lost a total of 4 dress sizes and 12 pounds, her cholesterol was still in the normal range, and her bone density was still at a good level. All she needed was a few meal ideas and some encouragement with the diet — which we gladly gave her! Darcy is the perfect example of how the Hauser Diet can work and keep working for you. Two and a half years after her initial testing Darcy has the confidence to eat right for her Diet Type and keep her health in great shape.

Moraine Park Technical College was presented with the 2008 Outreach Award from the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust (OWLT), in appreciation of Moraine Park's partnership in planning the 2008 Go Green event.
Members of OWLT's board of directors presented the award to Moraine Park staff and recently graduated students on Aug. 17 at Riveredge Nature Center in Newburg. The Moraine Park group represented the Business Meeting and Event Planning class from the West Bend campus, which is taught by Cindy Bernhard as part of the Administrative Assistant associate of applied science degree program. During the spring semester, 18 students from Bernhard's class worked with OWLT staff and volunteers to plan Go Green, which was held at the Mequon Nature Preserve in May. Go Green featured workshops on natural landscaping and rain gardens, a nature scavenger hunt, a keynote speaker, nature walks and tree planting.
"Planning this new event was a win-win situation for both OWLT and Moraine Park students," said Bernhard. "Students had to plan the project from beginning to end, providing them with realistic hands-on experience. This not only built community and business partner relationships but also skills, knowledge and experience they could put on a resume and apply to their future employment. On behalf of myself and the students, we are truly honored and appreciate OWLT for allowing us to be the recipients of this award in addition to the wonderful opportunity and relationships this has given all of us."

The hardest part about buying a round the world ticket is finding the money to do it. It's a huge mountain to climb to be sure, but it doesn't have to be difficult. The following are 20 excellent tips on how to save money for an Around the World Trip.
The first thing is how much will it cost to go Around the World? We have an excellent write up here, but you can quickly estimate your airfare costs with our TripPlanner.
No matter if that was a big number or what you were expecting, it is time to put a plan in place.
Create a savings plan. A good one of these will have 5 steps:
- Assessment – Hold your trip plan up to the reality of your financial situation. Is it feasible or are you dreaming too big? Make hard decisions. Once you have a general idea of your trip's overall cost, compile a spreadsheet that lists your income vs. your expenses to see how everything stacks up.
- Setting goals – Your savings plan should comprise several goals, some short-term and some long. List your goals in specific round numbers and don't be shy to shoot high but not so high it kills your enthusiasm.
- Creating a plan – The savings plan details how you'll accomplish your goals. This could be removing unnecessary expenses (see below!), setting a strict spending budget or adding additional income to meet your goals.
- Implementation – Put your plan in motion and maintain it.
- Monitoring and reassessment – As time passes, your plan will evolve as your spending habits change. Take a look at your progress every month and scrutinize the budget for possible adjustments.
Set your dream
The first of our tips for saving money is to remember why you're doing this and to remind yourself every day. Put a picture on your wall, or a map with pins and strings, or your rally monkey, for constant revalidation. Saving money is a slog, but you can do it if you set your mind to it.
- Reduce your expenditures.
- Simplify your life.
- Sell some stuff.
- Earn some extra income.
- Get into habits of frugality (save without shame!).
Assess your expenditures
Make a spreadsheet where you can find it (put a link on your desktop) then list out every one of your daily/monthly expenditures. Organize them into two columns: "Needs" and "Wants". Slowly eliminate all the "wants" from your list of purchased items.
Start a dedicated travel fund
Create a new account with your bank called "I'm Outta Here" and feed it monthly, weekly?, daily! Make it easy to transfer money over from another account and every time you go online to check your balance, transfer some money. Make it fun. Make it a habit. Make it natural. Make it painless. Revel in its growth!
Cut back on your lunch
It may be as simple as not getting a $2.50 drink (water is delicious, you know) but make a point of spending less than $8 on this meal. The savings will add up.
Cut back on coffee
No need to eliminate coffee from your life, but geez, stop buying expensive coffee! Think "drip". It will save you a ton, upwards of $1000 in a year!
Check out this cool coffee cost calculator and see what that caffeine is costing you!
Eat out less
Restaurants put more holes in a saving plan than a woodpecker on amphetamines. Plus learning how to cook for yourself is ridiculously gratifying. The Food Network and Recipes.com have a near limitless repository of delicious recipes to start you off.
Reduce or eliminate your car usage
Easiest way to reduce your car usage is to sell it! (Hey, Craigslist.) Zipcar or Getaround are great options for daily car sharing if you need to get across long distances after the sale (or for supermarket days). Otherwise, that bicycle, baby.
Pro tip: RelayRides is a cool service that lets you rent someone else's car short term, or else to make some money by renting out your own!
Kill the cable TV
You'll be surprised on how fast your savings add up without cable TV. Plus, there are plenty of free and cheap ways to get your entertainment. Netflix is cheaper than cable. Books are cheaper than movies.
But if you must have your TV shows here are a few places online that can serve as "free" substitutes:
- Can I Stream It? – meta search for places to watch your fave shows
- All My Faves – links to sources
- Hulu – "freemium" business model
- Miro – downloadable software
Reduce your utilities bill
Keep the thermostat low, put a sweatshirt on. Open the windows instead of using the air conditioner. Shorten your showers.
Quit smoking
How to save money? This one's a no-brainer. Not only can it save you $2000 in a year, it can save your life! Can't do it on your own? Here's some help from the government.
Cancel your gym membership
Instead of that hefty gym membership, exercise in the great outdoors, run in the fresh air. Swallow your pride and utilize those strange public fitness logs in the park. The world is a cardio machine. Watch the calories turn into greenbacks!
Reduce/Remove the spa treatments
Ah luxury, she feels so good, but soon you'll have to realize that those massages and mani-pedis won't help you travel any sooner. Make the hard choice and bypass the high-priced spa day.
Get fewer haircuts
If you get a haircut once every two months as opposed to every month, you'll be saving 50% of your expenditures at the stylist. Considering the cost of hair care, over the course of a year this will really add up.
Wear your shoes an extra month, guys
Like the haircuts, this will add up over a year. Your girlfriend will understand.
Borrow your reading material
Utilize your library. Utilize your friends. Utilize Paperback Book Swap.
If you've already sprung for an Ereader (useful for your trip as well) there are plenty of places online to download ebooks for free. Here are the sites with the most comprehensive catalogs:
These sites amount to more books than you (and everyone you know) could read in your lifetime. So buckle up!
If you're a fan of web content, send articles directly to your electronic device. Here are two great services that help you transform web articles into ereader-friendly formats:
- Readability – recommended!
- Klip.me
Do Free Things
- Get University educated – The website Open Culture has assembled a giant master list of free online courses on everything from Art History to Quantum Mechanics from great schools like Stanford, UC Berkely, even Oxford!
- Get non-university educated at Khan Academy or Tedtalks.
- How about Academic Earth. It's an online repository of videos of academic courses at Ivy League schools like Yale, Harvard and Stanford. The only thing it doesn't have is Skull & Bones.
- Learn to code – hello Codecademy!
- Watch free movies.
- Play sports: you know, cycling, tennis, basketball, soccer, etc. Use Craigslist to find recreational teams in your area.
Buy second-hand clothing
New clothes are expensive, and passé! Thrift stores and vintage/second-hand clothing shops are the new cool. You can usually save the greater part of 75% over their new counterparts and still look cute.
Sign up for deals and skinflint newsletters
- Cities on the Cheap
- The Skint (New York)
- Fun Cheap (San Francisco)
- Brokeass Stewart
Stay in at night
Going out to bars and clubs will force your account balance to go down faster than a Swiss cheese boat. Without anything to show for it in the morning. Keep your travel goals in mind and invite your friends over for, eep, game night. Or potlucks. Or DVD screenings. Or knitting parties.
Use this:
The Yaycations Travel Savings Calculator – a fun way to show where you can save even more money. Yay! is right.
Bonus tip on how to save money: keep your distance for people not saving for a RTW trip
Watching your friends going out every night, buying expensive electronics, expensive cocktails and new boots will destroy all your hard-fought motivation. They know you love them, and they'll understand and probably respect you more for saying no.
Remember, you're going traveling! That's the best goal a person can have.20 Tips on How to Save Money to Travel,

"The White Horse Temple in Henan Province" Baimasi by Confucius
Baimasi Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 6 photos
Here it is! The White Horse! (Sorry ladies, no prince included)
What a handsome equine specimen. Did you know that the White Horse Temple is one of the oldest temples in all of China?
So what are those four Chinese characters engraved on the post?
Could it possibly be inspirational verse from an ancient Tang dynasty poem?
It says "qi ma fa kuan" which means "Ride the horse and you'll be fined" Wow! Really? Good thing international tourists can't read Chinese, as there is no English translation warning foreign devils not to straddle the marble pony.
After all, you didn't come all the way to White Horse Temple in China to actually try riding a statue of a horse,.... did you?
The area around Luoyang is famous throughout China for the production of three color glazed ceramics which were made popular during the Tang dynasty.
The most popular reproduction is the horse and I spotted this herd of rejected horses near a factory by the White Horse Temple (Bai Ma Si) 13 km east of Luoyang.
Comments (1)
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, go right to the source and ask the horse. He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse. He's always on a steady course. (Theme from Mr. Ed)....NICK AT NITE again Confucius! RERUNS! Are you Mr. Ed by the way?

Nothing goes better with one of the coldest seasons than a nice bowl of chili. Chili is one of the most reinvented dishes in the food world ranging from the more traditional chucks of beef, savory beans and spicy peppers to eccentric ingredients like beer and coffee. The origin of chili is a one of history's uncharted urban legends but some food historians would agree that the first known chili recipe was recorded in the 17th century by Sister Mary of Agreda of Spain, a nun also known as La Dama de Azul (Lady in Blue) in Indian Legends, who was said to have 'out of body' experiences that would allow her spirit to visit faraway lands and she came across this recipe that consisted of antelope meat, onions, tomatoes, and Chile peppers; modern day carne con chili. During The Great Depression, because this stew was so inexpensive it became very popular feeding the masses avoiding starvation and even President Lyndon Johnson became a chili fanatic, stating chili was among his favorite dishes. Residents in Texas love this simple stew so much that they proclaimed it to be their official state food. Pick up your favorite spoon and celebrate National Chili Day with your favorite style chili!

Sylvia Weinstock knows a thing or two about marriage. Celebrating her 64th wedding anniversary last February, Sylvia said "I do" to her husband Ben back in 1949, when women were expected to do little more than cook, clean, and care for their families. But, Sylvia wasn't ready to settle down just yet. After marrying the love of her life, Sylvia decided to marry her life's passion and profession to create the world famous Sylvia Weinstock Cakes.
Over scrumptious desserts and flavorful fillings, Sylvia Weinstock sat down with Dress for Success to give us the inside scoop on how she went from kindergarten teacher to celebrity cake connoisseur. Grab a piece of paper and find your favorite pen, because you'll want to take notes on this one! Starting your own business is no piece of cake, but if there's one thing we can learn from Sylvia, it's that taking chances, finding the right resources, and getting creative can transform our innermost ambitions into fulfilling and flourishing careers.
Growing up in the 1930's, Sylvia was taught from an early age that she had to fight for her rights as woman. For Sylvia, that meant creating a home she could take pride in as a homemaker and a breadwinner. "Being a housewife was just not enough. I wanted to be more. In those days, your choices were nursing, secretary work, or teaching. I became a teacher."
Still, Sylvia's appetite for success was far from satisfied sitting in her kindergarten classroom. Ironically, she had to go back to the kitchen to find true independence. "I loved to bake, and I thought if I started a business with a specialized-to-order cake, I could run my own life."
In 1979, Sylvia embarked on an adventure to self-sufficiency, taking the first step in creating her own company: understanding the business. Just like her homemade recipes, Sylvia started from scratch, setting out to learn all that she could about the baking industry. But even with a little Saturday Night Fever, America wasn't ready for the heat of a trailblazer like Sylvia Weinstock.
"I was considered a joke, because at that time the pastry department was run by men. So for a woman to come in, it was the biggest joke in the world. They couldn't quite understand it. I asked a pastry chef that I knew whether I could come in and observe and he said, 'sure, but you're never going to get any place with it.'"
But Sylvia wasn't about to let the doubts of one man discourage her from following her dreams. Like all self-made businesswomen, Sylvia took a chance on the greatest investment of all—herself. She defined success on her own terms, and encourages other women to do the same: "You have to be adventurous and you have to motivate yourself. Nobody is going to do it for you."
So, how did Sylvia turn her favorite kitchen past-time into a thriving business? She rallied her resources and rolled up her sleeves the old-fashioned way, knocking on doors, calling up business owners, and refusing to take no for an answer. Sylvia created her own opportunities, starting her business from the ground up.
First, she started with the basics, talking to anyone who might be interested in buying her one-of-a-kind cake creations. Eventually, Sylvia struck gold. "I found these little country inns in upstate New York that would buy my desserts, so I started baking all kinds of wonderful things and I sold them to about five little restaurants."
Sylvia's extravagant desserts soon caught the eyes, and taste buds, of the New York social elite who wined and dined there, winning Sylvia her first high-profile client. "A number of women thought my cake was unique, different, and delicious. One of them ordered a cake and it went to the Carlyle Hotel, and the Carlyle became my first client. As soon as they saw it, they wanted it."
Sylvia knew she was onto something special, readying her rolling pin to make the most of her big break. Quickly realizing the power of a great first impression, she decided to make a lasting one on the luxurious Upper East Side hotel. Nonstop networking and a shining personality helped Sylvia make friends in all the right places. She's living proof that you don't need big bucks to get your name out there, and sometimes the word of mouth is the best way to go.
"The banquet manager ordered a cake, then three cakes, and the word got out that the Carlyle had something new, beautiful, different, and delicious. Soon, the other hotels called. The Pierre called, The Plaza called, and the Metropolitan Club, and I was off and running. Before I knew it, we were in demand and the business started to grow."
With the cake business booming, Sylvia Weinstock Cakes soon became too much for one woman to handle. That's when Sylvia built her dream team. Today, these baking buffs and culinary experts are what keep her going– because every power woman needs a strong support system.
"It's the team that makes it happen, because nobody can do this alone. Every area is important. Whether it's from the baking to the filling, from the icing to the design, or from the boxing to the delivery, every step of the way is critical."
Sylvia poses with Vilna Peters, her first-ever employee, who is still with her three decades later!
And, the Sylvia Weinstock team isn't afraid to recognize a job well done. Gone are the days of the bashful damsel in distress! Now, women are leading their lives and their careers and taking credit for all the hard work it takes to get there. Sylvia's no different: "We sign our artwork. Picasso signed his, and we can sign ours. I think that you should take the credit for it if you do something fantastic."
A leap of faith, creative vision, and smart strategy led Sylvia Weinstock to the ultimate success, and now her inspiring story and business savvy advice are standing the test of time for women everywhere aspiring to marry their passion and profession.
Consider these three tips from Sylvia the icing on the cake:
1. Take an inventory of your skills. Sit down and figure out what you can do, and then go for it!
2. See where there's a need for your talents. Talk to people who would benefit from working with you. You have a lot to offer, so make sure they know it!
3. Pull in whatever help you can get. Court the people that would give you business by writing a letter or following up with a visit, phone call, or luncheon appointment.

The History of Philco
This section of the website presents a comprehensive look at the history of the Philadelphia Storage Battery Company, which later became the Philco Corporation, from 1892 through 1945.
What you are about to read in this section is the product of twenty-three years of research including trips to Philadelphia to learn more about Philco and take on-site photographs. This is the most comprehensive history of Philco up to 1945 that has ever been assembled anywhere.
Notice: Most of the text presented herein is taken from the unpublished manuscript "Philco: The Early Years," © 2005-2013 Ron Ramirez. All rights reserved. This information may not be copied, in whole or in part, without the express written permission of the copyright holders.
(As written in 2005 by Ron Ramirez for the unpublished manuscript Philco: The Early Years, modified as needed to fit this format)
The feeling was more than a little spooky when I first saw a picture of James M. Skinner a few years ago. I was immediately struck by our facial similarities. Perhaps this is the reason I have become a Philco historian – perhaps this was my destiny in life.
It is ironic that "Philco" is still a recognized name, but the man responsible for making that name so recognizable has become a virtual unknown. Yes, Skinner has been all but forgotten today, fifty-one years since his passing and sixty-six years since he resigned from the company he helped make famous.
It is apparent from the research I have conducted thus far that Skinner shunned publicity even as his peers delighted in it (as seemed to be the case with RCA's David Sarnoff and Zenith's Eugene McDonald). In addition, it is no secret that the radio industry was no fan of Philco, Skinner's management of it, or Skinner himself, for that matter. For some time now, it would appear that Skinner's peers may have had the last laugh, since he is no longer a known or recognized figure in the books of radio history.
Today, it is my earnest desire to see that J.M. Skinner receives his rightful place in those history books, alongside Powel Crosley, A. Atwater Kent, Cmdr. McDonald, and Gen. Sarnoff. These four gentlemen are still well known in the antique radio community. All four of them have been inducted into the Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame, yet Skinner remains shut out.
When I wrote my first book, Philco Radio: 1928-1942, my writing experience consisted of a dozen or so articles published in Antique Radio Classified magazine. No books existed at the time which focused on any one radio manufacturer, and it was my first attempt at writing a book. It took two years to put together, with a manuscript written on an electric typewriter which received quite a workout during the time. When it was finally completed and published, the book attracted a great deal of praise, and a small amount of criticism – some of which, twelve years on, I can honestly say was deserved. Nevertheless, in the amount of time that has passed since 1993, I have been able to acquire a great deal more information on what has proven so far to be somewhat of an elusive subject.
So what's so different about this? To begin with – pictures. My research has uncovered many photographs of Philco plant sites, early factory shots, and important people involved with Philco during their "glory years." I wish I were able to share more of these historical photographs with you, but copyright questions have prevented that from happening. Nevertheless, I believe the serious student of Philco will find the photographs herein, mostly gleaned from period Philco publications, quite interesting. Now, most of you will get your first look at James M. Skinner, as well as some of the other important figures in Philco history.
Secondly – information. The history section relies much more on factual data and much less on Philco advertising. Naturally, a company will attempt to paint a superb portrait of itself. This time, the goal was to produce a more scholarly text with less "fluff." I believe I have accomplished that goal, and in the process, have told the Philco tale more completely than it has ever been told before. Extensive endnotes show most of the sources for my narrative. In my research, I uncovered a little dirt to go along with the meat; this, too, is reported herein.
So I present to you the product of twelve years' work on my part of gathering information, networking with other collectors, taking (and collecting) pictures. This entire book was put together on my computer – it was much easier that way. And instead of taking two years, this time I was able to complete the task in eight months. I hope you enjoy it. Meanwhile, my work is not yet complete. I wish I had had more time to check out important sources of information before this edition was published, but rest assured I will continue the research. There are still many more facts to be gathered, more sources to be studied, and more stories to be told. Along this line, it is my future intention to continue the Philco saga with additional history spanning the years 1946 to 1961, since many of you have requested more information concerning the post-war Philco era.Thanks to all of you for your continued support in this endeavor.
