TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The holiday season is upon us, which makes it prime time for toy buying. In fact, more than half of the three billion toys and games sold in the United States each year are purchased at Christmastime. And while the majority of toys are safe, thanks in part to stronger federal rules and higher standards from toy makers, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that in 2011 alone more than 193,200 U.S. children were treated in hospital emergency departments for toy-related injuries.

"Toys have changed over the years and the assortment can be astounding, particularly to those who haven't shopped for kids in a while," said Bevin Maynard, a child advocate at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital. "Child safety, however, never goes out of style. It is something parents and family members should always keep in mind when selecting gifts for youngsters."
Maynard notes that appropriate selection and proper use of toys, combined with parental supervision, can greatly reduce the incidence and severity of toy-related injuries. When selecting gifts this holiday season, be sure to:
- Choose toys suitable to the child's age, interest and skill level. "Age labels are for safety reasons and not intended as developmental ratings," said Maynard. "If a package indicates the toy isn't suitable for children under 3, it doesn't mean that your 2-year-old won't be able to figure out how to play with the toy, but rather that the toy has small parts or sharp pieces that could injure a younger child."
- Skip toys with small magnetic pieces for any child under age 6 or under age 10 if they have younger siblings who could easily access the pieces.
- Look for well-made toys.
- Avoid toys that produce loud noises. High-volume games can permanently impair a child's hearing, and loud sounds can frighten a younger child.
- Avoid toys painted with lead paint. Exposure to lead can result in lead poisoning, causing serious damage to a child's brain, kidneys and nervous system.
- Avoid electrical toys with heating elements (batteries, electrical plugs) for children under the age of 8. These toys are a potential burn hazard.
- Avoid toys with strings, straps or cords longer than 7 inches, which can wrap around a child's neck and accidentally strangle him or her.
- Immediately discard plastic wrappings on toys before they become dangerous play things for young children.
Maynard adds that riding toys should not be used near stairs, traffic or swimming pools, and that parents can use the cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper to identify small toy parts that are potential choking hazards. "Small children should not play with anything that can fit into one of these cylinders."
A Gift is Not Complete Unless Proper Protective Gear is Included
Bicycles, skates, scooters and skateboards are popular gifts for the holidays, but if children lack the proper protective gear or skills, injury and death can occur. To keep kids safe whenever they "wheel" around, be sure to:
- Include a helmet as part of a gift, which according to Safe Kids USA, can reduce the risk of head injury by as much as 85 percent and the risk of brain injury as much as 88 percent.
- Buy stickers or bike reflectors and use them on the front, sides and back of the bike to increase the child's visibility to drivers.
- Buy a bike horn or a bell as a stocking stuffer. This tool is essential for warning motorists and pedestrians of a bicyclist's approach.
- Don't forget to buy elbow and knee pads as well as wrist guards for skates and skateboards.
Kids sometimes are reluctant to wear protective gear, insisting that they are good riders or complain that none of their friends wear them. But Maynard urges parents to resist that temptation, and notes "requiring children to wear a helmet every time, everywhere they go, is the best thing you can do to protect them."

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

About Pumelani Bed and Breakfast
Pumelani Bed and Breakfast offers comfortable accommodation on a tranquil indigenous farm located just on the outskirts of White River. Set high in the hills and so aboriginal in form that it reflects primeval terrain. This bed and breakfast is the creation of native painter and ceramist, Rene Eloff. With strong artistic influences from her late husband, the renowned artist Zakkie Eloff, this guest house is alive in colour, vibrancy and true African spirit.
Pumelani Bed and Breakfast is the ideal weekend retreat if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Alternatively, if you are en route between the Kruger National Park and Mozambique, this is an ideal stopover to catch your breath and take in some spectacular shopping and quaint restaurants scattered in and around the area.
Our accommodation is set away from the main house and the unique cottages are quirky and creative, decorated with flair, and using artistic elements to create a warm ambience. Relaxed breakfasts are served in the main house on the deck overlooking the swimming pool.
Style-wise, the Eloff homestead is a farmhouse that has been solidly and inexpensively built with rough plaster walls and a welcoming abundance of timber. Wooden French doors open out onto views that are pure bushveld and which reminds visitors of their proximity to the wild. Pumelani is close to the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, the Kruger National Park and many more tourist attractions.

For our third Disney Cruise we decided to splurge on a concierge room. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and thought why not! Was it worth it? Definitely. We are spoiled for life. I'll share details about the experience in another post but first I wanted to share a tour of our room.
At the Magic Kingdom you can take a leisurely ride down the Rivers of America on the Liberty Belle Riverboat. It is a great way to take a break and relax. I like to take the trip in the afternoon. If you time it just right, you can watch some of the 3:00 parade as it passes by.
Disney trips are usually all about your plan, especially when it comes to dining. But sometimes you luck into a reservation you didn't think you'd get at the last minute or you end up somewhere new and unexpected. Our visit to Homecoming – Florida Kitchen and Southern Shine was a little bit of both. We were heading to visit friends in Florida and since Orlando was on the way we obviously needed to stop by Disney Springs. I knew Homecoming had just opened but I had no idea if we'd be able to get in since they were only taking walk ups at the time. Lucky for us there was no wait and we ended up having one of the best meals we've ever had on Disney property.
Welcome to this month's Blogorail Green Loop. Today we are taking a closer look at the fun you can find in Future World at Epcot. We'll be checking out Innoventions, which is a part of Future World where you can find interactive experiences and Disney characters, and the Festival Center, where you can see seminars, shop, and more during Epcot's festivals.
One of our favorite quick service restaurants to visit at Epcot's World Showcase is Les Halles Boulangerie & Pâtisserie in the France Pavilion. I am in love with this bakery. It is so much easier to navigate since the renovation early 2013. In fact, we love it so much that we once visited twice in one day!
Ellen's Energy Adventure is located in the Universe of Energy pavilion in Epcot's Future World. It was one of my favorite attractions as a kid (who doesn't love dinosaurs) and it is still on our must do list when we visit Walt Disney World because of the wheelchair accessibility of the ride vehicle.
Since July is National Ice Cream month I thought a would share a few of our favorite frozen treats from Walt Disney World. While I'm not the biggest ice cream fan (that's my husbands job), I do enjoy a few frozen treats when the weather is warm.
Welcome to this month's Blogorail Black Loop. Today we are sharing some ways for your family to participate in the Great American Campout.

Hacks: Clean Trash Cans with Cat Litter
The nation's housing crisis has produced a plethora of problems for nearly every homeowner, particularly those in hard-hit areas like California, Nevada and Florida. One of the worst? People in danger of losing their homes because their neighbors don't pay their bills.
"It's a very scary thought. A very scary thought. I'm thinking well, I would love to have my children come visit me this summer. And spend some time. How can I do that if we don't have any water, or elevators or electricity?"
-Francine Adams, Condo Owner
Francine Adams isn't in danger of losing her water or electricity because she's not paying her bills. It's because her neighbors aren't paying theirs.
When you live in communal housing, like a condo, townhouse or coop, everyone is responsible for chipping in on common services, like water, trash collection and maintenance.
But in developments like this where up to 3/4 of the condos are in foreclosure, those bills aren't getting paid. Leaving those who can pay with a bigger share of the total.
"There are consequences which a lot of buyers don't really understand at the time they purchase. Namely, that they're going to be liable for paying not only their own share of the obligations, but any shortfalls created by any defaulting lenders and owners."
-Gary A. Poliakoff, Attorney Becker & Poliakoff
Translation? People like Francine can actually lose their homes to foreclosure if they can't up with the money to pay their neighbor's bills.
So here we have yet another unintended consequence of our nation's current housing crisis. If you're a member of a condo whose association is having trouble making ends meet, best advice? Get a lawyer quick.

I have two databases, A, and B. On database A, I have a table X, with 10 columns in it. On database B, I have a table Y, with 7 columns in it. 4 of the columns from these tables match, and whenever one table updates one or more of these columns, I need the other table to update these columns. How can I do this? Replication wouldn't seem to work because the table structures are different, and insert/update triggers would seem to create infinite loops.
Announcing Stack Overflow Documentation
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
To avoid the loops you could have your triggers not do an update if the values are equal?
Replication works fine on tables with different structures, see Filtering Published Data.
As for triggers to avoid infinite loop, you would use context information to set up that you're currently in a 'replication' trigger so that you'd avoid looping, see Using Session Context Information:

The Only Thing Harder Than Working With Diva Models On Set? Diva Birds Of Prey
"They are much larger and more powerful than you might think," Ryan McGinley told WWD about his recent campaign photo shoot for Edun. "Occasionally they would fly away from the set, and we would all just have to be patient and wait for them to return to work." Whether he means Naomi Campbell or a peregrine falcon is anyone's guess ... unless you're privy to the shoot details. Thankfully, we are — Ryan's talking about falcons (and owls!).
For the latest campaign, Ryan touched on his original "The Animals" series of photos by employing the services of five birds of prey indigenous to Africa (where 40% of Edun's clothing is made). "It is a complete challenge working with animals. If they're trained or not, it doesn't matter — they do whatever they want to. It's chaos." The birds' unpredictable "I do what I want" attitude led to a series of beautiful portraits with the animals, the models, and the clothing vying for center stage (though when you consider the fact that 50% of the models have obstructed faces, the real contest is beautiful Edun's pieces and those squawkers). (WWD) Click through to see the two additional photos from the campaign!

When they come back from summer vacation this fall, students at the Chester Arthur school on the 2000 block of Catharine Street will find some major changes at their school yard. A couple of weeks ago, construction began in earnest here, or we'd be more on point to describe it as demolition.
Until a few years ago, this school yard was basically an asphalt desert, extending from the school all the way to 21st Street. In the summer of 2012, Friends of Chester Arthur raised money to build a playground which has been a huge hit with the little kids in the neighborhood. A couple years later, FoCa raised additional funds to improve the playground, building a seating area and adding some greenery. While these investments have certainly improved the school yard, they've served as a mere preview of the big project that's now underway. You may recall, we told you about a charrette this past fall hosted by FoCA and landscape architects Salt Design Studio, at which parents and neighbors discussed three concepts for the school yard.
The last fifteen years have brought significant changes to the Graduate Hospital neighborhood, and the intersection of 20th & Fitzwater presents a microchosm of those changes. On the northeast corner are six high-end homes, built after the demolition of the Metropolitan AME church. On the southwest corner is Raja Yoga, a yoga studio that opened a few years back in a space that had previously held a bodega with a bad reputation. The northwest corner was home to a beauty shop for decades but the space transitioned to a coffee shop back in 2007.
We've had our eye on the building at 2301 Grays Ferry Ave. for many years, suspecting that it would eventually get some major work done. The one-story building, long home to Old Towne Pizza & Sanna's, just doesn't seem to fit the bill considering the location.
Naval Square sits to the south, and the still newish 2400 South condo building is across the street to the north. Also across the street is the Bloc23 condo project, which is currently a foundation waiting for its modular building to arrive. When it does, it'll include 23 condos (hence the name) and underground parking. Further up the street, close to 23rd & South, is the wonderful Grays Ferry Triangle Park, a place for good times all summer long. Within the park, the Igloo and Grace Tavern keep neighbors appropriately filled with sweets and food and drink.
Neighbors in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood have been frustrated by 1942 Christian St. for years, wondering when the vacant building would come back into active use. We first wondered about this property four years ago, at which point it had already been sitting vacant for a couple of years. In the past, the first floor housed some kind of social services office called the Family Resource Center, and the upper floors contained apartments. Though it was sitting empty, the building had wonderful bones and we were cautiously optimistic that it would eventually get renovated. When a neighbor noticed an interior demo crew at the property in August of 2012, we were feeling confident that a renovation was imminent.
It's been hot for a week and we're past Memorial Day, so summer has officially begun in Philadelphia, calendar be damned. With "summer" now underway, we can look forward to all of the cool stuff that comes with the season, including trips downashore, John's Water Ice, and PHS Pop Up Gardens. This year, PHS will again operate two gardens, coming to the Viaduct Rail park for the first time, and enjoying a third go-round on the 1400 block of South Street.
Last night, the South Street garden had a sneak preview night and we made an appearance and snapped some photos. Isn't it great when a work event leads directly to free beer and snacks and some live music too?
Though the location is becoming old hat for PHS at this point, this year's garden represents the efforts of new partners and new operators, giving it a different feel than last year or the year before. Karen Regan from Tallulah & Bird designed the garden, creating new seating arrangements and incorporating a diverse mix of plant life. Also, there's a stage this year, providing a clear space for performances and events. Khyber Pass Pub takes over the food and drink program this year, and it seems like the garden has two bars this year which will improve the flow during busy times. As they have in previous years, Jamaican Jerk Hut will again participate. After all, they're permanently located next door and their food is delicious.

Hortonworks, a leading contributor to Apache Hadoop, today announced that the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), the industry's only enterprise-ready, 100-percent open source platform powered by Apache Hadoop, has achieved certification for Rackspace Private Cloud.
As a part of The Rackspace Open Cloud platform, the company launched the Rackspace Private Cloud Software in August 2012, with thousands of organizations in over 125 countries spanning all continents downloading the product. HDP is the only Apache Hadoop distribution to have received this certification. Combining the power of enterprise-class Apache Hadoop in HDP with Rackspace Private Cloud, organizations now have a secure, scalable environment to refine, explore and enrich their data using Hadoop.
The Rackspace team at 11th Cloud Expo | Cloud Expo Silicon Valley in November 2011
With HDP, data can be processed from applications that are hosted on Rackspace Private Cloud environments, allowing organizations to quickly and easily obtain additional business insights from this information. The provisioning, monitoring and management components of HDP are important enablers for the integration with the Rackspace Private Cloud, providing an easy path for getting data into and out of the cloud.
"The Hortonworks Data Platform powered by Apache Hadoop assessed and certified for Rackspace Private Cloud, enables enterprise organizations to test the open source big data platform's compatibility with OpenStack-powered private clouds," said Paul Rad, vice president, Private Cloud, Rackspace. "As a consistent, supportable and proven platform, Rackspace Private Cloud is now enabling Hortonworks Data Platform customers to quickly and easily access and analyze data from across their private cloud-powered deployments in Apache Hadoop."
After a detailed testing and validation process, Hortonworks Data Platform is now certified for building private clouds based on Rackspace Private Cloud Software v2.0. HDP qualifies for the Rackspace Private Cloud Open Reference Architecture "Mass Compute with External Storage", signifying that it has met specific integration and interoperability standards and works effectively with Rackspace Private Cloud Software.
"The Hortonworks Data Platform is emerging as the de facto Apache Hadoop distribution for cloud providers, and the certification for Rackspace Private Cloud is another significant step in the enterprise viability of Hadoop," said Herb Cunitz, president, Hortonworks. "Our commitment to the 100-percent open source model ensures that cloud providers will avoid any vendor lock-in when deploying HDP and Rackspace Private Cloud, and further extends the Apache Hadoop ecosystem to the private cloud, providing another method for exploring and enriching enterprise data with Hadoop."

Chapter 2 is provides more information than unsophisticated users need about installing Snow Leopard and migrating data to it.
Chapter 3 is a quick guide to Snow Leopard itself beginning with the Menu bar. Services under the Apple Menu has been redone in Snow Leopard. When you have a new application to drag to the Applications file, just drag it to Applications in the Side Bar. Click and hold on any open application in the Dock to display all the open windows for that application. There is a lot of information that is new in this little book as well as reminders of features I forget to use such as command-tab.
Chapter 4 is a quick guide to troubleshooting the more common problems. Chapter 5 covers what is new and what you want to know about the System Preferences including Sharing. Chapter 6 includes some information about each of the many applications and utilities that come with Snow Leopard. Chapter 7 is about MobileMe which is useful only if you have MobileMe. Chapter 8 is primarily about passwords which I believe is all most people really need to know about Security on a Mac except for using some common sense. The final chapter 9 includes the keyboard commands and how to access the special characters - very useful information in a easy to use format.
This book provides a look at what is new in Leopard and a concise reference for information when you need it. A lot of book in a compact package for a small price.
It's size - packed full of information, yet not overwhelming.
Great reference for those new to the Mac.
Great keyboard shortcut reference for anyone who uses a Mac.
Typo's, and I mean I stopped counting after 50!
Grammatical error's! Enough of them to annoy you!
Technical error's, however nothing not easily figured out on your own.
All in all, it's a great introduction read for anyone new to the Mac!
I would have given it 5-Stars, had it not been for the laziness exhibited by the editors!

Warranty and test regimens of a product should be # 1 on the specifier's list. A product professing to be a sealer that allows for a "second coat" at some future date begs the question of "what happened to the first coat?" Any sealer that cautions, "Do not allow this product to come in contact with glass or metals" indicates a delivery system that is known to migrate out of a concrete and become totally ineffective in a short time period. A sealant should stop ingress of contaminates and also prevent migration of internal chemistry out to an atmosphere on the surface. This same sealer should penetrate into a matrix and not change a surface profile to become a bond breaker and or require another step before a paint or coating is applied!

Posted May 19 2011 9:02AM
DALLAS -- Kevin Durant didn't mince words.
"I would bet my whole house that Russell Westbrook won't go 3-for-15 again. You can quote me on that," he said.
The truth is the Mavericks are betting their house and the outcome of the Western Conference finals on it.
Given their choice of letting Durant go off for another 40 points as he did in Game 1 or letting Westbrook get fully re-engaged in the offense, it's an easy choice for Dallas.
Durant's scoring from almost anywhere on the floor makes the Thunder dangerous. But it's Westbrook in transition that can make them lethal.
It's an interesting spot for a player who's become a lightning rod for criticism, accused of shooting too much in these playoffs.
"We need Russell being Russell, doing all of the things that he's been capable of doing for us this season," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "We need his speed and we need him attacking the basket and making the defense collapse. He's a very good passer and a willing one and that's how he gets our whole offense going."
That is why the No. 1 objective on the Dallas list of things to do is to keep bodies in front of Westbrook and to limit his chances to get to the rim for layups as he did in the previous series against Memphis.
Westbrook isn't just fast, he's blindingly quick. He can break down a defense off the dribble. He can beat everyone down the floor in the transition game and he can take the Thunder from promising to fulfillment of that promise.
It was Westbrook compiling the fifth triple-double ever -- 14 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds -- in Game 7 of the West semifinals against the Grizzlies that allowed the Thunder to reach the rarified air of the conference finals, and it was rendering him ineffective that allowed the Mavs to win Game 1.
Believe it or not, the Thunder can live with Dirk Nowitzki scoring 48 points. They can survive with him treating the free throw line like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, going back for more and more and more. They can even manage to get past the Mavericks in the Western Conference finals if Dirk runs through would-be defenders the same way the late Elizabeth Taylor did husbands.
What the Thunder can't live without is Westbrook.
"He makes plays for us," said Brooks. "He has to do that for us."
That's why the Mavs' plan is to make him the center of their defensive attention. They'll trap him with two defenders, smother him with three. They'll do everything they can to prevent Westbrook from turning the corner. But if he does, they'll have plenty of large bodies and long arms waiting for him.
Westbrook got shots in Game 1 -- 15 of them -- and he was able to get to the foul line enough times to attempt 18 free throws. What he couldn't get were his shots from the field -- driving layups, mid-range jumpers -- to fall.
"I definitely was happy with them," Westbrook said. "It was just one of those nights when I couldn't do too much. I got to the line. I was aggressive. I just wasn't able to knock down my shots.
I'm just gonna go out and play. It happens to the best of the best. I think it's just one game."
But it's one game plan that the Mavericks will continue to employ. They will open the game with the 6-foot-5 DeShawn Stevenson guarding Westbrook and look to get help from 38-year-old Jason Kidd.
However the key to the strategy is the work of the Mavs' front line. Any time that Westbrook found an opening in the defense and penetrated into the lane in Game 1, he found the shadows and the arms of Tyson Chandler, Shawn Marion, Brendan Haywood and Nowitzki looming over him.
The shot-blocking Chandler can be particularly effective in this series because he can cheat on Westbrook by leaving his own man, Kendrick Perkins, who is not much of an offensive threat.
The idea is not to put just one extra body in front of Westbrook, but two or three or more anytime possible around the basket. They want to scramble back on defense after their own missed shots and limit Westbrook in the running game. They want to turn the 22-year-old into a tentative half-court point guard who has to make decisions and passes against the teeth of the Dallas defense.
In short, if Westbrook isn't out and running fast, the Thunder aren't running smooth on offense. In the previous series against Memphis, Oklahoma City scored 125 fast-break points. In the first quarter of Game 1 against the Mavs, the Thunder got out to seven fast-break points and not coincidentally built an early 27-20 lead after one quarter.
But when the Mavs threw a wet blanket over the OKC running game, surrendering only two fast-break baskets over the next two quarters, Dallas took command.
"They didn't do anything different to Russell than teams have been trying to do all season," Brooks said. "They didn't send extra bodies out to guard him on the perimeter. They were going under picks to try to prevent his drives. What they have is Tyson cutting things off in the middle and letting him try those short jumpers. They just didn't go down. But I don't have a problem with those shots. They are shots that Russell can make. They're shots he has made all season.
"The thing is, we know that we want to get out and run and we know that they want to do everything to stop us. It's just about us playing our game."
The Thunder are 25-6 this season in games following a loss. They have shown a remarkable resiliency and Westbrook hasn't been kept down consistently by anyone.
"My concern is not on Russ," Perkins said. "I guarantee he won't be 3-for-15 again."
That's a lot of guarantees floating around for so early in a series.
But if there's one guarantee you can count on, it's that the Mavs know slowing Westbrook -- not Durant -- is their surest path to success.
