Thank you very much for your great work on the WordPress Mobile Pack. I would really like to use this, and currently have version 1.2.3 installed on my own wp 3.0.1 blog, but it seems to be mangling some of my A HREF links quite badly.
On this recent blog post: http://cpbotha.net/2010/08/01/the-human-animal-post/
The following HTML (view source):
exposed to light in the morning, your eyes talk to your supra-chiasmatic nucleus (SCN)
Is mangled in the mobile version (iPhone 3.0 user-agent) to:
exposed to light in the morning, your eyes talk to your supra-chiasmatic nucleus (SCN)
For some or other reason, in the mobile site " on " has been replaced by greater than symbol meaning that whole parts of the post disappear.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

The previous night
Ghetsis circled around the room, refusing the offer to sit. It always gave him more ideas. Spencer, the green haired man was seated on the couch, musing about what he could do. Here was the opportunity of his life, get the kid N and get Zekrom. But a feeling kept nagging him. There was a catch, he knew it. Finally, he got up and asked.
"I need to know who the boy is."
"All will be revealed in time. For now let's just say he's your enemy."
Spencer ground his teeth, perhaps he should reconsider, but the rewards were great, and he'd be screwed if he refused. However, he could not shake the feeling that the boy was familiar. He decided to wait, and see how things turned out. He could always flee to Kanto if things got bad. He walked to the fridge and opened it. He picked out a bottle of beer and popped it open. It was downed in seconds. Finally, relaxed, he walked over to Ghetsis.
"So, what's the plan?"
"Ahh… I knew you'd reconsider…" Ghetsis paused, "Trust me, you won't regret this."
They shook hands before parting. Spencer went back to bed and Ghetsis went out the door.
Ghetsis walked down the same street again. The lunar eclipse was waning and silvery moonlight lit up the streets. It was a beautiful sight, the water sparkled. Ghetsis just smirked, all this was useless. All that mattered was power and power would soon be with him. Now that the master thief, Spencer was on his side, he would soon be unstoppable. He had dispatched the Shadow Triad to capture N, so he would be dealt with as well. Everything was in accordance to the plan, why wouldn't it be? Ghetsis was a master of deception. He just hoped that Spencer did not recognize N. But how would he? It had nearly been a decade.
Spencer lit up his bed lamp, looking at the picture he had stolen from Ghetsis when they shook hands. There was a green haired boy atop a black dragon, only the back of his head was visible. But one doesn't become a master thief by missing fine detail. He saw the cube dangling from the boy's pocket. A tear rolled down his eye, as he remembered.
"Nathan…" he said softly, "My son…"

Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity.
The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules.
Any process that mediates the transfer of information from one cell to another.
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of cell proliferation.
The cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell.

If this test capability goes wrong for any reason, then we're going to silently setting up incorrect rules, which would be a security flaw. I think we need a more robust detection system for this.
What method do you suggest? We cannot look in the kernel afaik so we have to probe it. We have to setup some rules to make this work and the tighter the rules are the better, so they don't interfer with anything else. Then of course we need to send 'something' so we can detect whether this is an old or a new system. We could of course send once with the rules with '--ctdir ORIGINAL' and then do a 2nd test with '--ctdir REPLY' to make sure that it works at all. But what would we do if we detected that it doesn't work in either one of the cases? Terminate? The assumption of the code was that we have a working loopback device.

Eid Al-Kabir
Fast approaching is one of the most important holidays on the Muslim calendar. This year Eid Al-Adha, also referred to as Eid Al-Kabir – the "Big Holiday" – because of its tremendous significance, will take place on 26 Oct, 2012 and generally lasts for 3 days.
Eid Al-Adha translates to "Festival of Sacrifice" and commemorates the prophet Abraham's willingness to obey God when he envisioned he was to sacrifice his son.
Muslims observe this day by slaughtering an animal – usually a sheep, goat or cow – according to humane Islamic guidelines, and then offering much of its meat in charity.
It's a fascinating time to stay in a Marrakech riad and witness the local culture – there's a sense of excitement in the air, especially among the Marrakechi children, who also receive new clothes for the festival. During this time you can savour some of the most delicious Moroccan lamb dishes.
Marrakech Riad Dar Zaman is the perfect base for your Marrakech adventure. Make your reservation today – we'll be serving fresh lamb kebabs that weekend!

Well, they somehow created two accounts for my name and applied payment to only one and let the other one be listed as past-due. For over 6 months, I have been getting harassing calls and had to keep calling the local RTP Gym. The manager, Stu Yeatts, keeps saying that they are fixing the issue and has even emailed me that my account is paid in full.
However, the calls keep coming from:
- 732-455-9387
- 800-278-7172
- 347-348-0611
I called their HQ again today and spoke with Martha. She said that she will try to fix the situation tomorrow when her manager is in. Although she was professional, unlike Stu Yeatts, I said that what i cared about were results and no more calls. I also said that I would pursue legal action if I got one more single call and requested that they "make it right" by offering me a freebie like 6 months free membership to make up for - slightly- the months of annoyance and harassment.
I'm tired of bad customer service, and platitudes that the issue "is taken care of" when it isn't. Some companies simply don't know how to treat customers -- that is, with a little respect!

The Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) has separate policies for transexual and transgender athletes, which are different for male-to-female and female-to-male athletes. The policies also vary depending on when transition begins - before or after adolescence (puberty). For details about the policies and the need for Theraputic Use Exemptions, download the policy below.

British Rowing has a transgender and transsexual policy that states trans men may compete as their affirmed gender, and trans women "may compete in their affirmed gender in female or mixed-sex domestic competition by providing evidence that her hormone therapy has brought her blood- measured testosterone levels within the range of her affirmed gender or that she has had a gonadectomy."
Disability Sports Australia is the governing body of sports leagues in Australia. The 2014 Member Protection Policy has specific language around gender identity and supports the participation of trans* athletes on the basis of the gender with which they identify, but encourages trans* athletes to fill out the appropriate Therapeutic Use Exemptions necessary for competition in leagues which require them.
"Disability Sports Australia is committed to providing a safe, fair and inclusive sporting environment where people of all backgrounds can contribute and participate. People who identify as transgender or transsexual should be treated fairly and with dignity and respect at all times. This includes acting with sensitivity when a person is undergoing gender transition.
"We will not tolerate any unlawful discrimination or harassment of a person who identifies as transgender or transsexual or who is thought to be transgender or transsexual. If a transgender or transsexual person feels he or she has been harassed or discriminated against by another person or organisation bound by this Policy, he or she may make a complaint.
Disability Sports Australia recognises that excluding transgender and transsexual people from participating in sporting events and activities has significant implications for their health, well-being and involvement in community life. In general, we will support their participation in our sport on the basis of the gender with which they identify.

Female players may be required to present a valid gender certificate and/or submit themselves to a medical examination in case of doubt based on medical evidence."
Additionally, there is a Gender Verification policy: "Gender Verification will not be performed during senior, junior or youth events. Gender verification may be conducted on a case by case basis in event of doubt based on medical evidence. Competitors' refusal if requested to yield to gender verification controls entails their elimination from the competition."

The application will take the form of a confidential conversation with the applicant and details of the evidence that The FA would require will be discussed with the person concerned.
"On the FA's website it is stated: 'An individual's sexual orientation or gender identity should never be a barrier to participating in, and enjoying, our national sport.' In order to meet that requirement The FA has pledged to identify the boundaries that prevent LGBT people from engaging with football and ensure that 'every opportunity is given to enable members of gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans communities to participate and progress within their chosen area of participation in football'."

Transmen (FTM):

For the purposes of registration on gender-based teams, a player may register with the gender team with which the player identifies. The IGLFA must received sufficient confirmation and be satisfied by documentation or evidence that shows the stated gender is sincerely held, and is part of a person's core identity.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) Consensus Meeting in November 2015 agreed the following guidelines to be taken into account by sports organizations when determining eligibility to compete in male and female competition:
1. Those who transition from female to male are eligible to compete in the male category without restriction.
2. Those who transition from male to female are eligible to compete in the female category under the following conditions:
2.1. The athlete has declared that her gender identity is female. The declaration cannot be changed, for sporting purposes, for a minimum of four years.
2.2. The athlete must demonstrate that her total testosterone level in serum has been below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to her first competition (with the requirement for any longer period to be based on a confidential case-by-case evaluation, considering whether or not 12 months is a sufficient length of time to minimize any advantage in women's competition).
2.3. The athlete's total testosterone level in serum must remain below 10nmol/L throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category.
2.4. Compliance with these conditions may be monitored by testing. In theevent of non-compliance, the athlete's eligibility for female competition will be suspended for 12 months.

The policy creates a uniform standard of treatment of transgender skaters, and ensures the protection and safety of transgender skaters throughout the UK, with UKRDA member leagues committing to adhere to the policy. This includes safeguarding the confidentiality of trans* skaters, and ensuring that they are supported not just by the law, but by UKRDA policies.
The document has great sections and explanations, and is a good model for writing clear policies.

The United States Association of Blind Athletes (USABA) protects against discrimination based on gender expression, which would allow transgender participants:
"The USABA does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, physical or mental disability, Veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation or gender expression."
USA Boxing follows the IOC regulations, and requires genital surgery and gonadectomy:
2.4.5. Sex reassignment (in accordance with IOC regulations): Any "individuals undergoing sex reassignment of male to female before puberty should be regarded as girls and women" (female). This also applies to individuals undergoing female to male reassignment, who should be regarded as boys and men (male).
Individuals undergoing sex reassignment from male to female after puberty (and vice versa) be eligible for participation in female or male competitions, respectively, under the following conditions:
- Surgical anatomical changes have been completed, including external genitalia changes and gonadectomy
- Legal recognition of their assigned sex has been conferred by the appropriate official authorities
- Hormonal therapy appropriate for the assigned sex has been administered in a verifiable manner and for a sufficient length of time to minimize gender-related advantages in sport competitions
Eligibility should begin no sooner than two years after gonadectomy. It is understood that a confidential case-by-case evaluation will occur. In the event that the gender of a competing athlete is questioned, the medical commission (ACRP/ABRM) shall have the authority to take all appropriate measures for the determination of the gender of a competitor.

USA Gymnastics has different policies for pre- and post-pubescent competitors. USA Gymnastics follows the IOC regulations, which requires hormone use, genital surgery and gonadectomy for post-pubescent MTF competitors, but not for FTM competitors.
A post-pubescent athlete will be eligible for participation after completing their transition, provided the following:
MTF Individual:
• Surgical anatomical changes have been completed, to include the appropriate sex reassignment. Eligibility should begin no sooner than two years after gonadectomy.
• Legal recognition of assigned sex is obtained from the appropriate authorities.
• Hormone therapy has been administered in a verifiable manner and for a sufficient length of time (one year minimum) to minimize gender-related competitive advantages.
FTM Individual:
• If gender confirmation surgery is desired, the surgery has been completed, the athlete is in good health, and has been cleared by their surgeon to participate in gymnastics
• Legal recognition of assigned sex is obtained from the appropriate authorities.
• If hormone therapy is desired, it is being monitored by a medical doctor and is not being used as a way to enhance athletic advantage.
US Rowing uses government ID as the standard for athlete placement. "All Rowers in Events for men are male and that all Rowers in Events for women are female. Gender is determined by the Competitor's government issued ID and will be noted on the Competitor's credential."

USA Sailing follows the IOC regulations, and requires genital surgery and gonadectomy for participation at the highest level. However, the USA Sailing bylaw 102, Section 3, states:
No person shall be denied the right to participate in any event within the jurisdiction of US SAILING or to manage or otherwise be involved in the participation of such event, or having so participated shall suffer any penalty for having participated, on grounds of race, color, religion, age, sex, or national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, genetic information, or any other status protected by federal, state or local law, where applicable.

Not an inclusive policy. USA Senior Softball recently approved their policy in summer 2014. Senior Softball-USA is dedicated to informing and uniting the Senior Softball Players of America and the World. Senior Softball-USA sanctions tournaments and championships, registers players, writes the rulebook, publishes Senior Softball-USA News, hosts International Softball Tours and promotes Senior Softball throughout the world. More than 1.5 million men and women over 40 play Senior Softball in the United States today.
Men are not permitted to compete on women's teams in SSUSA sanctioned events, but on occasion
the eligibility issue of trans-gender athletes arises. To ensure that no athlete is excluded from the
opportunity to participate, that the safety of women players is protected, and to maintain fairness in
competition, the SSUSA has adopted the standards used by the International Olympic Committee
("IOC") to govern the eligibility of trans-gender athletes." Read more at the link below.
NOTE: to make this policy more inclusive, trans people not taking hormones would go under review. If they are living as their true gender and that is different than what is listed on birth documents, we are limiting their ability to comfortably participate in the sport.

The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) opens its membership to all soccer organizations and all soccer players, coaches, trainers, managers, administrators and officials "without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or national origin."
For the purposes of registration on gender-based amateur teams, a player may register with the gender team with which the player identifies, and confirmation sufficient for guaranteeing access shall be satisfied by documentation or evidence that shows the stated gender is sincerely held, and part of a person's core identity. Documentation satisfying the herein stated standard includes, but is not limited to, government-issued documentation or documentation prepared by a health care provider, counselor, or other qualified professional not related to the player.
This policy does not apply to Professional Leagues, and does not apply to the Federation's National Teams programs, but application of this or a similar policy shall be re-evaluated at such time as FIFA addresses the issue.

USA Swimming Anti-Discrimination Statement provides protection for transgender athletes. Its Code of Conduct says, "discrimination against any member or participant on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, and gender expression is prohibited (304.3.3)," meaning that trans swimmers can participate in events in the gender with which they identity.

At its February 27, 2005 meeting, the USA Track & Field (USATF) Board of Directors adopted the International Olympic Committee's policy regarding competition by transgender athletes and transsexual athletes.
USA Triathlon follows United States Anti-Doping Agency rules regarding the use of testosterone, which is a banned substance which requires a theraputic use exemption (TUE) in order to avoid violating policy.
The Women's Flat Track Derby Association's (WFTDA) Gender Policy updated its policy with a new statement and broadened protections for athlete gender identity in November 2015. The new statement provides intersex and transgender athletes with equal opportunities to participate in athletics "while still maintaining integrity as a women's sport." It states that the WFTDA "is committed to inclusive and anti-discrimination practices in relation to all transgender women, intersex women, and gender expansive participants, and aims to ensure that all skaters', volunteers', and employees' rights are respected and protected."In regard to athlete participation, it states: "An individual who identifies as a trans woman, intersex woman, and/or gender expansive may skate with a WFTDA charter team if women's flat track roller derby is the version and composition of roller derby with which they most closely identify. … The gender identity of any and all WFTDA participants is considered confidential and private."

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) works towards a vision of a world where all athletes compete in a doping-free sporting environment. Unfortunately for transgender athletes taking testosterone, a banned substance according to WADA's rules, the policies do not always support one's ability to participate. Athletes competing in sports observing WADA or USADA rules who are using testosterone must apply for Theraputic Use Exemption (TUE).

When Is Your Baby's Hair Going To Change?
When I was pregnant with both of my daughters, I had heartburn most hours of the day — straight-up torture. With my first, I could eat a piece of dry toast, turn to the side and feel a wave of acid rising from the pits of my stomach. It wasn't normal. I was convinced. Family members insisted, "Ooh wee! That baby's gonna have a headful of hair!" I groaned, living in the moment, as I was the one suffering with each morsel consumed. When she was born, I saw that maybe that was some truth to the myth, my little girl emerged from the womb plump and rosy-cheeked with thick, curly, dark brown hair.
"That baby looks Spanish," her father quipped a few days after. I rolled my eyes at him, "Ma says I had hair like that as a newborn too." In the following days, houseguests came through to poke and prod at our first daughter in amazement. She was born light-skinned, with little slits for eyes and all that hair sitting atop her head like a winter hat. She hated when I washed and combed through it. She still does nine years later, which I find hilarious.
I was still relaxing my hair then but I'd decided years before having kids that chemical straightening would be their choice once they got to high school. As for me, I read up on natural hair care and vowed to keep mineral oil and other no-no's out of my baby's scalp. Her hair kept that texture until she was closer to one-year-old, which is the norm I believe.
She'd browned up, closer to her natural skin tone, which pleased her dad most of all because he liked to half-joke that when they were out together alone, running errands, people tended to stare "like I kidnapped her or something." Her hair had begun to kink-up which pleased me most of all because I could start with my haircare regimen for her and stick to it since it was unlikely that my baby's hair texture was going to change again anytime soon.
My own mother was all about adding waxy hair grease to my baby's head and pulling her hair up from the roots to make her more "presentable." To who though? It was the Blue Ivy Treatment, from my own family. By the time our little girl was two-years-old, it seemed everyone in the world had a tip or a suggestion about what I should be doing to and using on her hair. It was like I had an entire comment section in my face at family gatherings. I was Bey and she was Blue. And all I wanted to do was holler, "Don't y'all have your own damn kids?"
It didn't happen the same way with our second daughter. She was a chunky one too out of the womb, darker, with a headful of hair but her's was bone straight. It was amazing. They looked alike but the details were so different. Down to the difference in hair textures, even as newborns.
She's four-years-old now and while her hair has curled up a little, it's been years of her dad asking innocently, "When is her hair gonna change?" The little one takes her hair from her grandfather who has a soft, loose curl. Who can ever tell with Black kids? We're all so mixed up in our heritage but I'm pretty sure it's the fact that she's so dark-skinned that makes most people doing her hair, raise an eyebrow. Others, without a filter, will ask if I relax her hair. "Why your first baby — the brown-skinned one — got kinkier hair?" I usually act like I don't hear the question. I just take care of my little girls and the hair that grows out of their respective heads, accordingly.

Fertility Myths We Can All Stop Believing
When it comes to fertility myths, there are a lot of stories out there. Girlfriends, grandmothers, and well-meaning co-workers all seem to have something to say when it comes to the subject of pregnancy. They tried it, they think you should try it, and they believe that you should try it much sooner than later. You know, before it's allegedly too late.
And sometimes, pregnancy myths stick around for so long that even doctors think that they're true. So how are you supposed to separate the fact from the fiction? Oh, the struggle.
We've rounded up some of the most common fertility myths out there and gotten down to the truth of the matter. And even baby experts might be surprised at the pregnancy facts that we all thought were true but turned out not to be — at least not according to all of the research and findings on the subject.
Pop Mom: New Study Says Put Your Cell Phones Down
UCI's Conte Center on Brain Programming in Adolescent Vulnerabilities recently did a study on rodents (rodents are used as models in medical testing because their genetic, biological and behavior characteristics closely resemble those of humans. In fact, mice share 99% genetics with humans) and discovered that baby's need consistent and predictable care. When they get 'choppy care,' which can come from interruptions and habitual interactions with cell phones, the brain's dopamine-receptor circuits, which are responsible for pleasure and aren't yet mature in newborns and infants, don't develop properly. As a result, babies could grow into adolescence and seek extreme ways to find pleasure, such as fast car driving, drinking and drugs.
The connection was derived from rodents who showed a lack of interest in sweet foods and play with their peers when their mothers gave them 'choppy maternal care,' a direct contrast to the rodents who received consistent care. With rodents being so closely related to humans in behavior, it's a very likely scenario that could play out in our kids. The scientists are currently testing humans to further their research.
The study is important because it serves as a warning for how we could be harming our babies. I mean, haven't we all heard about the potential dangers of cell phone use on our own health? They tell us don't sleep with the phone under our pillow because it could either set it on fire from overheating or the radio active waves could damage our brains. It's an ongoing controversy, which some choose to dismiss, but isn't it better to be safe than sorry? Just keep the phone away from your bed. If you use the phone as an alarm, like many people today, consider investing in an old school alarm clock.
Getting back to baby, the study makes sense at a basic level because what newborn needs a disconnected, multi-tasking mom? I remember my mother getting heated with me for talking on the phone while breastfeeding. She felt it was the baby's time and it should be relaxed and used for bonding; and she was right. Not every call, text or email needs our urgent attention. People know we have a baby so their expectations aren't even high.
Ironically, there was a study conducted last year that used an app to discover that the average person picks up their cell phone 85 times a day, which is twice as often as they initially thought.
I'm constantly picking up my phone, which leads me to facebook, then instagram, then email. And even though my kids are three and six-years-old, seeing me check my phone a zillion times throughout the day is definitely a form of choppy parenting, and I don't need a study to tell me that it's not good. It doesn't even feel good when I'm doing it.
So what could be done?
How about make a phone a phone again, for ourselves and definitely when the babies and kids are around? Give designated times to check emails, text and phone messages. The world isn't going to explode if we don't get back to people right away. Put the phone in the other room to make it less accessible. How about getting some clocks on the wall-I have none- and watches back on our wrist? And, no, that doesn't mean a Smart watch. Being more conscious over all of how much time we're spending on the phone could make all the difference. Sometimes it's baby steps.
The last thing we want to do is damage our kids health or pass down unhealthy habits down.

Fetuses Have Favorite Foods? Surprising Things Babies Do In The Womb
Ever been curious about what's going on in there? You know that the little ones love to move around (you can see it too!) and get their kick on. But they do a lot more than "kick" back and relax, waiting for you to pop them out. They're quite active. They figure out what foods they like and don't like early on, learn how to make faces, learn languages, freak out when you do, listen to the music you do (yes, the little ones jam out) and a whole lot more. They're more advanced in the womb than you think. With that being said, get ready to be blown away by these surprising things babies do in the womb.
They Taste What You Eat
By 20 weeks, babies can "taste" what you eat through the amniotic fluid. And they have a sweet tooth! Babies swallow twice as fast after you eat something sweet and slower when you eat something sour.

Baby Making Season: 10 Simple Things That Boost His Fertility
Remember when we broke your guy's heart when we told you that some of his favorite things, from eating bacon to watching TV, are harming his fertility? Well, we're ready to talk more about his sperm—but this time we're bringing you good news!
Just like his lifestyle can harm his sperm production, simple changes can also increase it. The most recent study even found that drinking a pint of beer a day doubles a man's odds of becoming a father.
1. Drinking Beer, Daily
In a recent study, researchers from Boston studied 105 men whose wives and girlfriends were undergoing IVF, and there's great news for beer lovers. The men who drank the most (meaning they knocked back under three units a day on average—a pint of Stella Artois has 2.7 units) had a 57 percent chance that a session of IVF would work. This was 2X the success rate of the men who drank the least. More reasons to get your butt to happy hour, fellas.
2. Eating Nuts
If your guy munches on trailmix, you're in luck, ladies. Italian doctors at Azienda Ospedaliera Citta della Salute e della Scienza di Torino believe eating nuts, seven per day to be exact, will help improve his sperm count and quality since polyunsaturated fatty acids have been shown to have a number of effects that help, including reducing inflammation.
3. Eating Greens
Scientists say it's not just women who need to pay attention to what they eat pre-conception. A new study published in the Nature Communications, suggests that lack of folic acid, which is form of vitamin B that is known to be key in the prevention of brain and spine defects, can make subtle changes to the chemistry of the sperm's DNA. Researchers advise prospective fathers to cut back on junk food and load up on greens, which are good sources of folic acid. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, spinach, asparagus and peas can all improve sperm quality and reduce the risk of birth defects.
4. Eating Carrots
Did he finish all the carrots again? Even if he ate the entire bag just so he could dig into that amazing hummus you always by, the orange veggie makes a much better game day snack for your man than chips or buffalo wings. Aside from their nutritional value, the beta-carotene-rich food improves the swimming ability of sperm. A new study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility discovered that men who ate the most carrots had the best sperm motility.
Need some inspiration to keep him munching on the root veggie? Meet carrot aficionado @RealCarrotFacts, a Twitter user who posts about carrots daily, and someone who we suspect has ideal swimmers.
5. Eating Tomatoes
Throw it on his sandwiches, salads, maybe even with that hummus. There's plenty reasons to keep those beefsteak, plum and heirlooms coming, but did you know better sperm morphology was one? According to the study, men with diets high in lycopene had lower levels of abnormally shaped sperm. In addition to tomatoes, lycopene can be found in other red fruit and vegetables, such as red bell peppers, watermelon and papayas. Go red or go home.
6. Having Sex Frequently
Rejoice! Here's one he'll keep doing even without the science to persuade him. A lot of couples think "saving up" will help chances of conceiving, but researchers say it can actually have adverse effects on sperm count and motility.
For guys with low sperm counts, abstaining from even one day of sex can decrease their production even further, according to researchers at Soroka University Medical Centre in Israel. Abstaining from sex also causes sperm to change in shape, a sign that the sperm is going stale. Stale sperm? No thanks. Keep it going, folks.
7. Eating Fish
Listen, cod is no bacon — we all know that. But when it comes to increasing his chances of becoming a father, cod's the winner. In a recent study where Harvard University researchers assessed men who ate a range of foods including processed meat, white meat, red meat, white fish and tuna or salmon, they discovered that guys who had white fish at least every other day had far better sperm quality than those who rarely ate it. White fish is rich in zinc, which is believed to boost fertility.
8. Trying A Different Lube
Use lube in the bedroom? With all that sex you're having after seeing #3 above, the answer is probably yes. If you're trying to get pregnant, use lubes that don't have spermicidal agents or water-based lubricants, which can interfere with sperm movement. Instead, Mayo Clinic recommends using canola oil, safflower or peanut oil when you're getting busy.
9. Exercising
We all know it's important to exercise, but for your guy, a more balanced, moderate lifestyle is best for his sperm. This may be good or bad news, depending on how much of a gym rat your dude is and what type of exercise he prefers. More active males have more sperm and more active ones, but according to Mayo Clinic, ultra-athletes, like runners, cyclists and swimmers, who put strain on their body on a regular basis can interfere with sperm production.
10. Taking Ginseng
Who needs Viagra when you have this magical herb? Not only does it enhance sexual desire, relax muscles and treat erectile dysfunction, but according to the National Institutes of Health, men who take Panax ginseng supplements have higher sperm counts and increased sperm motility.
Do you know any other tips for boosting fertility?

Who Is That Adorable Baby?: Johnson's Baby Wash Commerical Star Monterey
images and video: Johnson's
Marla Brock is used to people doting over her baby, Monterey, because she's the new face of Johnson's Baby Wash.
Have you seen this delicious commercial? If not, click on it now, and you'll see what we mean.
The first time Brock saw the commercial, she became emotional.
"I saw it late at night and everyone had gone to bed and there I was, you know, 10 o'clock at night and I just started crying," she said.
Taped when she was just three months old (Monterey is now nine months old), it's no surprise some of baby Monterey's cutest moments were unscripted, but Brock said she still did her best to get her to move in certain ways.
"There was an infant massage coach actually stand offset adjacent to me telling me how to rub her feet," she said. "There was moment in the commercial where the foot spreads and there's a certain pressure point that I touched to make that happen."
Kelly Gottfried helped lead the creative team for Johnson's "So Much More" campaign and called Monterey "captivating" and "mesmerizing."
"She draws you into the camera, and she looks up and everyone can relate to her and immediately connects," Gottfried said.
She said they've heard parents say it brought tears to their eyes.
"To me, it's definitely resonating to parents," she said.
Johnson's auditioned nearly 200 babies and selected 14.
"It was like no other audition I'd ever seen before," Brock said. "There were mothers everywhere. And they all had their tubs. We were instructed to bring our own plastic bathtub because we'd be washing the baby on camera."
Gottfried said Monterey was "absolutely" a unanimous choice.
"One look and we knew immediately we loved her," she said.
Two babies were chosen to represent each of the "So Much More" campaign's seven global markets. Monterey appears in nearly each one — a broader appeal for America's changing face.
Brock said her husband is from Canada, and white.
"And he has blonde hair, blue eyes, so she certainly picked up some of his features," Brock said.
Monterey's ethnicity is not immediately apparent and Brock said perhaps when people look at her, they see themselves.
"I think there's something inherently beautiful about her because people can connect with her," she said.

#Babyologie: She's Here! 41 Weeks Later…
A funny thing happens to you when you're pregnant with you're first child and you only have a few weeks left in your third trimester–all patience goes out the window.
You think anything that happens to your body means you're in labor. If you sneeze, that might mean you'll go to the hospital that night. If you have gas, that means you're having a contraction. If you fart, you look down to see if you have a baby.
The truth is – with the exception of a planned C-section – you never know when it may happen. Your grandmother will tell you that you'll be early because all six of her kids were early, while your mom swears up and down you'll be late like she was with you. No one knows. If they did, they'd be millionaires who'd travel the world to tell pregnant women exactly when they would have their babies.
Take me for instance: I was due September 19. Which was really special for us. Not only was it my father's birthday, but it was also our fifth wedding anniversary. So we were really rooting for #Babyologie to get here ON TIME. You know how they say, "We make plans and God laughs"? Babies laugh at our plans, too. At least mine did. She laughed six days later when she decided to finally get here.
Oh, another thing: you know how in the movies when the pregnant lady goes into labor her water breaks and gushes everywhere and she + her posse frantically make their way to the hospital and she has her baby what seems like immediately? Totally doesn't happen like that in real life.
My contractions lasted all day but finally became five minutes apart around 11:00 at night. When I arrived to the hospital, I didn't see the doctor until an hour later because my contractions hadn't gotten closer together. Finally when I did see her, my ultrasound revealed that my child was transverse. TRANSVERSE?! Yep. Instead of head down, she was laying sideways. Then my water finally broke. Only to find out that there was meconium leaking out with it, too. Long story short, my delivery had now become an emergency C-section.
Like any first mother who hopes for the best, I had skimmed over all the C-section parts in all the pregnancy books and blogs I read. Because I wasn't gonna need a C-section. Nope. Not me. But actually, yes me. And I was terrified. I had never had any type of surgery or even broken a bone for that matter. So as I was in the most excruciating pain in my life, I was also scared like never before having to get prepped and pep talked by the doctor about what was going to occur during this C-section. But once I wiped away the tears and put my fears aside (thank goodness for morphine!) I had to put on my game face because I was leaving this hospital with my baby.
Twenty-two minutes into surgery, my baby girl was born. Her daddy saw her first because I was laying down and couldn't see past the surgery curtain. But once I heard her cry, I cried, because my fear of having a C-section wilted in comparison to the love I have for her. Just hearing her paralyzed me with overwhelming emotion. And just like that, 41 weeks of pregnancy became more than worth it.
Because I had thee rather large fibroids, putting me "back together" took about 90 minutes. But I must say: I didn't feel a thing – not even pressure – and my incision was non invasive and beautiful. (Thumbs up for Dermabond!)
As a first time mom, your delivery will never be what you expect. There's no amount of reading or listening you can do to prepare you. Expect the unexpected and remember that the overall goal of your delivery – be it 37 weeks or 41 weeks – is that you're healthy and more importantly, you get a healthy baby to take home with you.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I received a letter in the mail about a convention in Reno, Nevada in regards to the Famous Poets Society. I was extremely close to making plans that same day i received the letter, but i decided, for safety, to check up on the event.
I went to the website were the event was located and found no resources on the event what so ever. I then typed the Famous Poets Society in Google and found only the previous winners and different articles to purchase. Also, a page to submit your own poem, in order to try and winn the contest.
Then i visited this website and found all the info that was present here. I read back over the letter and realized it was completer bullshit, every bit of it. It had all of the same info listed on the previous files filed on this site, and the same adress. IT said that Lavender Aurora was the Poetry Editor and that John Cambell was a great Shakespearean actor and would be honored at the event. I am sure that is not the case.
The pampnlet also had numerous quotes from people saying how amazing this event was. There were also pictures of famous people being at these convention, surely all bullshit. anyways i just want to let whoever is pulling the strings to stop what ever the f*** they are doing and stop riping people off and try to live a real life.
THis HUGE SCAM your pulling isn't going to work much longer, it's to bad your so out of it that you can't make money in a real way, you would be better off leaving us alone and not ruining anyones dreams amd desires. Because you might be doing more damage than you will ever know. Read the bible more often, it might help. Even a horrible character like you.

I play the mouse, so I draw notes, for every instrument actually, I don't even have a keyboard. No need for one since I can't play it I can't play any instruments actually.
How is your friend doing? I hope he's ok
I think smoking is healthier than most of the crap food corporations are feeding people, I think death comes quicker from McDonalds than from Marlboro LOL

Customers paying good money for a premium item should never, ever receive something that doesn't work or contains bugs. - Christian
While I agree with most of the things you said, the above statement doesn't make too much sense. Most games I ever played and most software I ever used have had bugs, there's no such thing as a perfect software. That's what updates are for.
I didn't really follow the soft disable threads, so my reply isn't based on that, it's simply based on the statement above.
So far I'm very happy with A Small Orange.
ASO it is then for me as well So glad to get rid of DreamHost. NightmareHost is more like it…
Don't think about DreamHost, they're terrible, the speed is lousy and the support is bad. I'm moving away in a few days to another server, but if MediaTemple gets bad reviews as well, I wonder where I could go.
I usually don't take pills, I use natural medicine and stuff, and it's worked plenty for me. From what I know there are several treatments for cancer: apricot seeds, vitamin B17, vitamin C (organic), lady slippers flower.
I think that happens to everyone, it's impossible to make music and not copy something by mistake from time to time

Over here in the UK, we get asked pretty much the same question, sometimes extended to "so, what do you do for a living?".
I also find that most people really have no concept of royalty-free or library music, and I found that replying with "I'm a production music composer" was often met with a glazed stare!
These days I cut to the chase and the conversation usually goes like this:
Them: "So what do you do then Matt?"
Me: "You know that cheesy music you hear in the background to telly and radio adverts?"
Them: "Yeah, I know. Can't stand that stuff!"
Me: "I make that."
Them: "Oh"

Sharlto Copley says Neill Blomkamp's 'Chappie' will be 'massively unique'
Sharlto Copley is a quirky and flawed King Stefan in Disney's upcoming "Maleficent" and when I sat down with him this week, he was very excited to talk about his character-actor approach to that role.
He was also quite pleased to tease his latest collaboration with "District 9" and "Elysium" helmer Neill Blomkamp on the very peculiar-sounding (and deceptively titled) new sci-fi film "Chappie."
In "Chappie," currently set for a March 2015 release, Copley plays the title character, who gets kidnapped and raised by a pair of criminals. The catch is that Chappie is a robot with artificial intelligence.
Copley is primarily a voice in "Chappie," which he says will be "massively unique," but he also explains how the animators worked with him to create his character.
Check out that chunk of the interview above.
And stay tuned for next week when I'll post my full interviews with Copley, Elle Fanning and other key "Maleficent" figures (no, not Angelina Jolie, alas).

The following section describes various types of technologies we use when you interact with us online, through our mobile applications, shop in our stores, or use our wireless services, and your choices regarding those technologies:
Cookies, Pixel Tags, and Flash Cookies (FUL, ADV, OPS, SEC)
On our websites and other digital platforms we use Cookies, Pixel Tags, and more limitedly, Flash Cookies. This section briefly describes each:
A Cookie is a small piece of computer code sent by a website and stored on the hard disk of your computer. A pixel tag (also known as a tracking pixel, web beacon, or clear GIF) is an embedded image on a website that may register a user's website activity. A Flash Cookie (also known as a Local Shared Object) is a data file stored on your computer by the websites that you visit (click here for more details). Flash Cookies provide similar functionality as Cookies, but are based on different technology, provide richer data collections, and are persistent; they do not go away when you exit your browser and generally cannot be deleted through your browser option tools.
At Bluemercury we use two kinds of Cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies exist only for as long as your browser remains open. We use session cookies, for example, to manage items added to your shopping bag. Persistent cookies last from visit to visit; they do not go away when you exit your browser. We use persistent cookies to enable an easier log-in process, give you a more personalized shopping experience, or help you navigate our website more efficiently. For example, we use persistent cookies to show you items you have previously browsed. From time to time, we may use Flash Cookie(s) on our website(s), for example, to enable or control richer Flash-based content.
For options to manage your Cookie Preferences, click here. If you block cookies from bluemercury.com, you will not be able to make purchases on our websites.
Website Optimization Services (ADV, OPS)
Bluemercury shares data with Google Analytics tools to understand and optimize website performance and enhance site usability for our customers. Google Analytics runs in the background of our sites analyzing site usage information. Google Analytics is required to maintain data securely and confidentially. Credit card or password data is not collected through Google Analytics.
Please click here to download the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. To learn more about Google Analytics Privacy click here.
Interest-Based or Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA) (ADV, OPS)
Bluemercury uses third-party advertising companies to serve interest-based advertisements. These companies compile information from various online sources (including mobile-enabled browsers and applications) to match user profiles with ads we believe will be most relevant, interesting and timely based on that user profile.
For additional information on interest-based advertising and options for managing preferences, click here.
Do Not Track (DNT) (ADV, OPS)
Bluemercury does not currently recognize and process Do Not Track signals from different web browsers. Customers may manage their preferences for tracking across sites in the Interest-Based Advertising section above. For more information on Do Not Track please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.org/.
Beacons (FUL, ADV, OPS, SEC)
Beacons are small appliances that we use to enhance and make the Bluemercury in-store experience more interactive. Beacons broadcast a Bluetooth signal that can be received by Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as a mobile phone, when those devices are within proximity of a beacon. Beacons do not collect or pull in personal data; they only push out radio signal pulses to map nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices, much in the same way radar works. In-app permissions, such as permission to access location and accept Push Notifications (sometimes shown as 'PNS' on your devices), must be enabled for a Beacon to interact with your specific Bluetooth-enabled device. Interactions with and notifications delivered to your device may include customer service information, in-store directions, offers and advertisements from applications and advertisers.
Beacon Preferences are managed through your device (Bluetooth, Location, and PNS settings).
In-Store Wi-Fi Services (FUL, ADV, OPS, SEC)
Many Bluemercury locations offer free Wi-Fi Services to visitors. Wi-Fi routers capture certain data from devices that interact with the router. Some examples of data automatically collected through our Wi-Fi Service include:
Unless we receive consent to use Wi-Fi data in a manner that identifies you or your device(s), Wi-Fi data is anonymously collected or de-identified.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags consist of a small chip and antenna that provide a unique identifier for objects. RFID serves the same purpose as a bar code and must be scanned by a specific type of reader in close proximity to the tag to retrieve tag data. Bluemercury uses RFID for inventory management (such as locating shoes in the stock room) and logistics support. RFID is not used to track or monitor any items once you leave our stores.
Video Cameras (FUL, OPS, SEC)
We use cameras in our stores for security purposes, loss prevention, and asset protection. We also use cameras in our stores for operational purposes, such as such as traffic pattern analysis. Cameras may include technology to capture demographic information, such as age, gender and dwell time.
We will not use cameras to personally identify you, without your consent, except when the identification is for security or law enforcement purposes.
This section details, in one place, how you may express preferences including electing to opt-out of some data collections or uses.
Access to Accounts, Online Profiles, and Orders
Data Sharing Preferences
If you prefer that we not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes, you can contact us:

Technology-Enabled Collection & Use Preferences
If Bluemercury, its parent company or any of its subsidiaries is sold to or otherwise acquired by a third party, all Bluemercury data assets will become the property of the acquiring party. Such a party will be subject to any consent(s), opt-outs or other customer conditions on data. A change in data ownership may or may not include a notice on the primary online sites of Bluemercury or affected subsidiary sites.
Information About Children Under 13
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act imposes requirements on Web sites that collect personal information about children under 13 years old (for example - name, address, email address, social security number, etc.). Our current policy is not to collect any personal information on any person under 13 years old online. For this reason, our sweepstakes and other promotions conducted online are restricted to entrants who are at least 13 years old.
If this policy changes, we will revise this portion of our Notice of Privacy Practices and will comply with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which includes providing notice and choice to each child's parent or guardian before collecting any personal information.
Your California Privacy Rights
Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask us for a notice describing what categories of personal information we share with third parties or corporate affiliates for those third parties or corporate affiliates' direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of personal information shared with third parties and used for direct marketing purposes and the name and address of the third parties that received such personal information. If you are a California resident and want a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to the following address: Bluemercury Customer Service, ATTN: Privacy Office, 1010 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20007.

Bluemercury has put various procedural, technical, and administrative measures in place to safeguard the information we collect and use. We designed our technology-enabled services to accept orders only from Web and mobile browsers that permit communication through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL is an encryption standard that provides a layer of security while information is being transmitted over the Internet.
As a matter of policy, we do not disclose details regarding our security measures as this could be beneficial information to criminals and other bad actors.
Be advised, no security safeguards or standards are guaranteed to provide 100% security. You should always use appropriate self-protection measures and practice safe browsing on all websites.

With this great deal they also offered a 2weeks free trial of their services (as they were posing as a travel company) however they needed payment information should I choose to keep their services after my 2 week free trial. I was to recive My travel and Hotel valchures within a week, as well as canceling information.
After 2 weeks I noticed a charge to my account. I checked it out and on the "check" there were 2 phone numbers. I atempted to call both to cancell and have my money refunded. The 1st number I called directed me to the second number because they were unable to help with canceletions. I tride the second number, which went to an atomated system asking me to "hold for the next available operator" after waiting 5min the call got disconceted. I tride again, and again, with same results.
I still had the original phone number from which they called in my caller ID so I tride that. Again, I was give the 2 numbers that got me nowhere the 1st time. I talked to the poeole and they were "unable to help me, because it's not the department that deals with cancelations and refunds. I talked to 3 different people each time. they also had a caller ID and knew who was calling them.
I reported this as fraud to my Bank and was forced to put a hold a the account. The account is now blocked, but I still have acsess enough to see that to this day the fradulent company is still trying to pull money out using fradulent checks with a different company name every time.
