I am looking for a single payment gateway (preferably Stripe) + EDD + a membership plugin. I like s2Member (membership plugin) but they currently don't integrate with Stripe as a payment gateway. Also, I understand there may be some other conflicts with downloading digital products (https://easydigitaldownloads.com/support/search/page/2/?bbp_search=s2member) between the two plugins.
This is what I want the membership plugin to provide/accomplish: The membership plugin accepts membership registrations, sort members into chapters, etc. But then I need to sell those members products & services, ideally through EDD. This is what we will be selling on the site: memberships, digital audio, visual and ebooks (pdf format), hard books, access to online training (a certification program and also webinars).
I've also just learned about EDD + Restrict Content Pro (both written by Pippin). Has the integration piece to EDD been completed?
Last, we would like to be able to minimize the unauthorized distribution of our pdf books. I've seen one site produce a unique date and purchaser stamp right on the pdf which is not removable. All suggestions & advice appreciated. Thank you.

The Complexity of Feeding a Child
Welcome to the November Carnival of Natural Parenting: Kids in the Kitchen
This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Hobo Mama and Code Name: Mama. This month our participants have shared how kids get involved in cooking and feeding. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
My pre-conceived notion of feeding a child was thus: Children will eat from what is available to them; if it's not available, they won't eat it. A pretty simple theory, which is actually very true, because children won't starve themselves to death. Give them only healthy options, they will choose healthy options. I also knew that young children usually have small appetites and should never be forced to finish their plate. Or force-fed, period. However, in the three years, four months that I've been a mother, I have found that the feeding of children–at least my child, anyway–is not so very straight-forward.
First, as a newborn, he never ate as frequently as other newborns, which boggled my mind and already made me concerned at times whether he was eating enough. Even though he wasn't acting hungry, and he was healthy and thriving. I can't tell you how many times I vacillated between "Is he eating enough?" and "I trust my child to get what he needs."
It's not just about how much, either. It's also about what. That 'what' is pretty huge. At least for us it is. I value health and good nutrition so highly, that it would just be painful for me to give my child junk food, excess sugar, and artificial crap–not because I wish to "deprive" him as some people think (seriously??) but because I wish for him to be healthy and happy. Before I had my own child, I had observed that many little ones will eat excessive amounts of bread and juice. I wanted my child to eat in a balanced way, and as I was also keen to give him nutrient-rich food like vegetables, plenty of fat for his brain development, and protein to help him grow, it was the obvious choice to limit grain foods and sugar. (I didn't even know about the issues with grain at that point.) I knew that dairy was a common culprit for food sensitivities and allergies, so I was careful about what dairy I gave him as well. We also loosely followed "baby-led weaning" which is giving your baby real, recognizable (though still baby-appropriate) food (as opposed to puree and cereal mush), and allowing baby to self-feed from a variety of healthy choices, trusting baby will get what it needs through instinct and listening to its body.
All seemed to be going well for my little one, though there were always some hiccups in the road. Such as his obsession with fruit. People think I'm crazy for wanting to limit fruit, but it does contain a fair amount of sugar, and as I learned later, it also contains a natural chemical called salicylate, which he seems to have developed a sensitivity to. But despite the small issues we had, I never felt that I could complain: My child enjoyed meat and fish, he ate select vegetables, he didn't ask for sugary foods…what more could a mama ask of her little toddler?
Then I got impatient with breastfeeding so much. I didn't want to nurse as much, so I tried to get him to eat more. But he only wanted so much of meat and veggies and even cheese. What could I give him to fill him up? Crackers. Bread. Pasta. Pancakes. Yes, GRAINS. Nearly always whole grains, mind you, but something was telling me this wasn't best. But I really didn't want to nurse him all day, which is too bad because I think he'd be healthier now if I didn't try to fill him on grains.
Anyway, months and months later, and millions of heart-wrenching, wanting-to-pull-my-hair-out meltdowns later, I discovered he may be sensitive to a lot of the foods I'd been feeding him. The list is horrifying: gluten, pasteurized dairy, and salycilates which are in most fruit, many vegetables, nearly all herbs and spices, vinegar, coconut and olive oil (the healthiest plant-based cooking oils), and a few other foods. I've talked a lot about my struggle with this on my other blog.
Here's the thing. Baby-led/child-led feeding is flawless in one respect: allowing your child to stop eating when they no longer wish to eat. That is golden. Allowing them to chose from healthy options is also great. However, determining what is actually nourishing to your child is not so clear-cut. I thought I did everything right (breastfed, waited on solids, introduced solids slowly, avoided common allergens till after 12 month, etc), and he still ended up with food sensitivity. He eats one of the healthiest diets I've seen a child eat, and he still struggles. We removed grains from his diet, and suddenly he started enjoying vegetables more, but I don't even think they are all safe for him to have! And not even sure he should be grain-free. *sigh*
It's funny, but the foods a lot of people think are "bad" foods, are the ones that are "safest" for him to eat: meat with fat, butter, whole raw milk, raw egg yolks. Just saying…what you think is best for your child may not be so.
Here are some things that I believe parents should know about feeding children (these are not my ideas, but rather things that many experts concur on, and make sense to me). I am including some references from various sites just to keep things balanced.
What to feed:
- Children need plenty of fat, including saturated fat. This is important for their brain and eye development, among other things. Do NOT put your child on a lowfat diet or else they will fail to thrive.1
- Children need sufficient protein for proper growth. Protein given with each meal helps stabilize blood sugar.2
- Conventional dairy is riddled with problems, but milk contains important nutrients. If your child cannot have milk, you need to find a replacement food for calcium (homemade bone broth is an excellent choice) and other nutrients found in milk. Some children may do okay on yogurt or kefir, even if they can't have milk.3
- Grains and beans are difficult to digest do to their phytic acid and (for some grains) gluten content. Grains/beans are better tolerated when they are soaked in the traditional way before consuming.4
- Some babies do not produce enough of the enzyme amylase to digest starch until after they are 12 months old.5
- Poor digestion can trigger food allergies/sensitivities.6
- Probiotics build good gut flora. They can be found in yogurt, kefir (there are non-dairy versions of these), and fermented foods, as well as in supplement form.7
- Enzymes are essential for digestion. Fresh, raw foods contain enzymes, and should be consumed regularly.8
- Refined foods such as white flour products and white sugar are not just empty calories…they actually deplete the body of nutrients.9
- Artificial "food" has no business being in your child's body. Many children have reactions to this stuff, ranging from mood swings to sleep disturbances to headaches and more.10
- Pretend "health foods" like margarine, store-bought crackers, and boxed cereal are actually toxic due to being highly processed. Do not feed these to your child. This includes those puffy finger snacks for babies.11
- While a diet full of nourishing foods will provide nearly everything your child needs, don't underestimate the value of cod liver oil (cold pressed) and natural vitamin D supplements (especially if you live in a higher latitude, don't get outside a lot, or don't have a vitamin D-rich diet–most of us don't).12
- Mother's milk contains all the essential nutrients needed for proper growth and development (fats, protein, probiotics, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, etc). The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 100% breastfeeding for six months, and as the main source of nutrition 6-12 months with complimentary solids. The World Health Organization recommends a minimum of two years of breastfeeding, while the AAP recommends a one year minimum, and both organizations encourage breastfeeding beyond the minimum.13
How to feed:
- Children should never be force fed. This causes a negative association with whatever food you are cramming into their mouth. They will hate that broccoli forever.
- Ideally, babies should be allowed to feed themselves, although eating off a fork or spoon some of the time is okay…as long as you are sure the baby wants it. This helps the child regulate how much food goes into their body, so they learn to stop eating when they are no longer hungry.
- Emotions around food should be kept as neutral as possible. Food is fuel: It is not for rewarding or for consoling a child. Children should never be coaxed/guilted into eating a food or be punished for not eating a food. Even if you are excited or upset over what your child eats, try not to convey these emotions to your child. They should not be eating to please you; they should be listening to their bodies.
- When they are done, they are done. Do not require a child to finish all their food, as they may be stuffing themselves uncomfortably if you force it.
- Give them choices. There are a lot of opinions on how much choice is best, but as a general rule, children need some choice. You figure out what choices you want to give them.
- Some days children eat a lot, other days they eat practically nothing. Some days they want the same food all day. Don't freak out, it's fine. They are listening to their bodies.
- If you suspect food sensitivities, do a food journal for a couple of weeks. Try eliminating a suspected culprit for a while, then add back in a look for a reaction.
- Children don't understand ethical reasons for avoiding certain foods…do not withhold foods from your child that their bodies may need.
- Junk food can be extremely difficult to deal with if you want your child to eat a nutritious diet, as junk food can trick the body. Keeping junk food out of the house deals with this problem nicely, but if you choose to have it…well, there just isn't enough room here to write about it.
- Try, try TRY to be as relaxed about food as possible. Keep offering healthy options, problem-solve when you need to, but overall remember that your child needs to have a healthy relationship with food, and a healthy relationship with YOU.
- Trusting one's child and giving them choices with food is challenging, yet very important. How do you accomplish this?
- Does your child have food sensitivities/allergies? How do you handle them?
- Did you unknowingly feed your baby a poor diet, then later regret it?
- How do you handle the junk food issue?

I hear you, and I'm going to read your other blog as well to hear more about your struggles with food sensitivities. My son has them too — even from things in my breastmilk starting at three months old! I thought he was through with them, so after a year I just let him have everything, only to have him start having problems (diarrhea and skin issues, to say nothing of sleep problems which *could* be related) at 18 months old. So far we are having good luck with eliminating gluten, but it's too soon to say. And it's *really* hard to work around it, especially because he wants to eat with the rest of the family … so we all have to be gluten free. (It seems to be helping me, too, though, so perhaps we should all just stick with it.)
If the problem is actually *multiple* sensitivities, I don't know what I'll do. Finding even one sensitivity is hard enough!

Greetings from Malaysia! Hopping in from the carnival!
Love your tips! And I totally agree with you on stop feeding when they are done. No point forcing them to finish up their food (like what I often see parents do) and then they end up puking out everything because of being too full!

The best thing I discovered about feeding my child is (besides following my intuition regarding concerns) that attitude is everything. I know people whose children eat quite well and they're still neurotic or worried about it. My girl is considered a finicky eater, but I have such a relaxed attitude about it that I don't think of it as a challenge, or envy other people's 'good-eater' kids.
I cook up what she likes in batches, so there's always a good meal frozen and ready. Always have the fridge full of the foods she likes. Will ask and encourage her to try a new thing once in a while, and it's up to her whether she includes it in her diet or not.
With a different attitude I could lead a very stressful life! But it's so normal and no biggie to us now.
We do include 'junk', she loves crisps (potato chips?) and biscuits. As they're in the house I refuse to deny her, but always ask that she have her fruit first, or tea and a biscuit after dinner, or some sort of thing. That way they don't become Forbidden (and therefore more interesting foods. Because those foods are out there – at other people's houses, parties, etc. But of course our emphasis is healthy whole foods, and secondly a good attitude towards food, as you mention.
excellent post Lisa!
November 8, 2011 7:23 am
Ah food sensitivities… we've recently come to think that our daughter has some of them too… really hard to diagnose and even harder to act upon, especially since we're radical unschoolers… muchos to think about!
November 8, 2011 8:05 am
We could do everything possible to try to keep our kids healthy, and they could still develop sensitivities or allergies – trust that you're giving him the best possible start mama! Thank you for all of these awesome links and info!
November 8, 2011 10:28 am
lisa, this is an amazingly thorough and well articulated post. the lists are great! you have clearly done tons of research on these topics. that picture of michael with the broccoli is priceless!
the choice topic is loaded of course, but i think you've laid out some great tips to keep in mind, and i think there is often the danger of thinking that it is either/or (your child gets to choose and therefore binges on junk, or your child does not get to choose and is disempowered and all that comes along with that.) i think giving the child information is often very empowering and can help them make better choices without the "good" choice being delivered through coercion or force. both/and instead of either/or.
the ethical topic also sticks out to me. i interpreted that line to mean, go ahead and feed kids organ meats (or whatever food has ethical stuff tied to it), since they need the nutrients and can't wrap their minds around the ethics of it anyway. whereas, i know for sure that quinn does wrap his head around the ethics of food, i have seen him have mixed feelings about consuming a crab that he was really excited to catch, and did want to eat, but mixed feelings arose nonetheless, as they always do for me when consuming many foods. i think the appreciation of the fact that "things have to die in order for me to eat them" is important. and i do think kids can get that philosophical paradox and i think the more information we give them, again, the better choices they can make, for the plants, animals, their own diet health, etc. so i guess i would say go ahead and feed kids the food they need, because there will ALWAYS be ethics behind it, and there are MORE ethical ways to choose to eat any genre of food, which don't always have to mean abstinence (or we'd die of starvation). and talk to them about how you make those ethical choices… better yet, ask them what they think.
November 8, 2011 11:22 am
Such a great post! I'm trying to uncover a food sensitivity with my daughter – poo troubles are making her a little fussy and I know it has something to do with her digestion. Thanks for all the great tips – I haven't even known where to start, but this gave me some great ideas!
November 8, 2011 3:43 pm
Fantastic post. "Give them only healthy options, they will choose healthy options." I need to follow this more, I'm never as organised with food as I want to be (okay, never organised full stop). And I get "are you still being mean not letting them have sweets and chocolate?" from my girls' grandad. He sneakily fed Elise chocolate at 6 months, when my other half noticed he went mad! I don't get why junk food is such a "treat". I do begrudgingly let them have it at parties (and face the horrible mood swings after), but their grandad was trying to dole out a pocket-full of neon coloured, chewy sweets every time we visited them or he visited us – and they only live round the corner.
I grew up with severe lactose intolerance and developed soya intolerance too, but I can eat dairy in moderation now, and don't seem to have a problem with soya. I hope your son's sensitivities lessen with time.
Going to plough through all those handy links now!
November 8, 2011 7:59 pm
It's overwhelming, isn't it? To wade through all the recommendations and try to do your best, and yet still your child ends up with sensitivities. That's tough. I often want to just throw my hands in the air and just eat … whatever … and that's kind of the phase I'm in right now. Maybe we're odd, but I've never noticed any difference in any of us when we eat or don't eat a certain way. That doesn't seem fair to you, when you're trying so hard and I've thrown in the towel at the moment.
November 9, 2011 12:01 am
This is a fantastic post!!!!! Your nutrition guidelines are spot on as are your methods. Great list of resources. My favorite line from this post is: "However, in the three years, four months that I've been a mother, I have found that the feeding of children–at least my child, anyway–is not so very straight-forward." How well I know that. My daughter is gluten intolerant and has a strong gag reflex so feeding has been an adventure! I am sharing this post. Too much good info not to pass on!
November 9, 2011 9:33 pm
Here are some thoughts I had while reading this: I have often read on Traditional Food blogs "But, Sally FAllon, I did EVERYTHING right and my child still ended up with food allergies/sensitivies! What gives?!" One thing that people seem to forget is that a child inherits, for the most part, its gut folia from its mother. This all goes back to Weston Price's physical degeneration theory. The health of the mother/father determines the health of the offspring. Another theory is that the antibiotics given almost universally to women during labor to fight Group B Strep may actually cause gut dysbiosis because the now sterile birth canal, being a baby's first exposure to microbes, does not inoculate the gut. All of those are theories but I still find them fascinating nonetheless.
Calcium…I know you already know this Lisa because I saw your comment on Cheeseslaves blog, but I am beginning to believe that it is not Calcium that is so essential so much as Magnesium. There are so many non dairy places to get calcium but magnesium is harder to find if you aren't eating grains and SO essential. Even though I eat no dairy I only take Magnesium and Zinc supplements.
Lastly, one of the KEY lessons I took from GAPS: It isn't all about the protein it is ALL about the fat, especially when you are eating something sweet. Not only does it taste fabulous and slows the absorption of glucose, it also keeps you from eating as much because you are satiated faster. Whenever I crave sweets I now always go for something fatty. It works like a charm.

Squirrel and rabbit seasons approaching
As fall weather is finally arriving in Mississippi, so are the 2010 — 2011 squirrel and rabbit hunting seasons. Now is the time to check equipment and prepare for a safe and enjoyable hunting season. Hunters should be sure their hunting licenses are current before hunting. Visit the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) website at www.mdwfp.com for information on seasons, hunting licenses, and more, or call 601-432-2400.
"Small game hunting is a great way to get new hunters started. The youth squirrel seasons that are open to youth 15 years of age and younger are good opportunities to take young people hunting before the regular season starts," said Rick Hamrick, Small Game Biologist with the MDWFP. Youth squirrel seasons are open one week prior to the opening of the regular season in each zone on private and authorized state and federal lands.
The bag limit on squirrels is 8 per day (regardless of species). The bag limit on rabbits is also 8 per day (regardless of species). Rabbit season is open October 16, 2010 — February 28, 2011. Squirrel season dates are divided into three zones.
Zone 1 includes areas north of US Highway 82 plus those portions of Sunflower County and Washington County south of Highway 82. The regular season is October 2, 2010 — February 28, 2011. Youth season is September 25, 2010— October 1, 2010 (youth 15 years of age and younger are eligible to participate).
Zone 2 includes areas between US Highway 82 and US Highway 84 plus portions of the state south of Highway 84 and west of Interstate 55. The regular season is October 16, 2010 — February 28, 2011. Youth season is October 9, 2010 — October 15, 2010 (youth 15 years of age and younger are eligible to participate).
Zone 3 includes areas south of US Highway 84 and east of Interstate 55. The regular season is October 30, 2010 — February 28, 2011. Youth season is October 23, 2010 — October 29, 2010 (youth 15 years of age and younger are eligible to participate).
Squirrel numbers should be abundant in most areas of the state as the result of several good years of acorn and other mast crops. Rabbit populations may have been negatively affected by early spring floods in some part of the state, but in general rabbits should be abundant where habitat is suitable. Rabbit populations can rebound quickly if all of their habitat needs are met. Dave Godwin, MDWFP Turkey and Small Game Program Coordinator states, "Whether you prefer to still hunt or hunt with dogs, there are many opportunities for hunters to bag squirrels around the state. Practically all of our open public lands have good squirrel hunting opportunities. Rabbit hunters should look for areas that have an abundance of grassy cover and shrubby thickets when scouting for new hunting sites. Hunters should always read and understand area regulations before they go hunting." For more information on squirrels, visit home.mdwfb.com/squirrel.

Congratulations, recruit! It's time to learn the ropes of your Facebook engineering job.
Take a seat at one of Facebook's long, white desks and look at the piece of paper taped on your monitor: "Welcome to Facebook!" Underneath, printed in big, bold, red letters, are slogans like: "We Hack Therefore We Are," or "Move Fast and Break Things." Within days, your software code will be in front of our more than 845 million users.
And so begins the six-week journey of a new employee class in Facebook's "Bootcamp," an experience shared by every engineering hire, whether they are a grizzled Silicon Valley veteran or a fresh-faced computer science grad. Since 2008, hundreds of Facebook's engineers have passed through Bootcamp, which may lack the physical tests of military basic training but does provide the same kind of shared experience and cultural indoctrination into the world's largest social network.
Bootcamp is one part employee orientation, one part software training program and one part fraternity/sorority rush. When new engineering recruits are hired at Facebook, they typically do not know what job they will do. They choose their job assignment and product team at the culmination of Bootcamp, a program that exemplifies Facebook's adherence to founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg's "Hacker Way," an organizational culture that is supposed to be egalitarian, risk-taking, self-starting, irreverent, collaborative and creative.
Each new recruit needs to take a deep breath. Within a few days, all are expected to be pushing live software updates out to the better part of a billion users. If a Bootcamper crashes part of Facebook doing that, well, it won't be the first time.
"I would describe it as a way for us to educate our engineers not only on how we code and how we do our systems, but also how to culturally think about how to attack challenges and how to meet people," said Joel Seligstein, the head of the Bootcamp program, who might be described as Facebook's answer to Yoda. "We like to teach what's important very early on, on Day One. I would say it's even more of a cultural program than it is a teaching program."
From "the HP Way" to Google's (GOOG) sense of what's "Googley," company culture is a mainstay of Silicon Valley life. With workplace perks like free gourmet food and other amenities, life at Facebook doesn't look much different on the surface from Google, Zynga, Twitter or many other young, fast growing Internet companies.
But Facebook takes its zeal for culture one step further. It plasters the walls of its offices with slogans like "Code Wins Arguments" and "Move Fast and Break Things," Facebook's version of Chairman Mao's Little Red Book of quotations. Rather than top-down commandments, however, employees are encouraged to tweak those messages or add their own opinions in chalk or paint, a ritual called "Hacking the Space."
Within the company, it is an article of faith that the culture of constant change embodied by those sayings differentiates Facebook from its competitors, and will allow the company to remain nimble even as it goes through a landmark initial public offering of stock this year.
"It's a quasi-religious iconoclasm," said David Kirkpatrick, author of "The Facebook Effect," a 2010 book about the rise of the social network. "Facebook takes its culture deadly seriously. They know the pace at which they arose and became dominant in their field was even faster than Mark Zuckerberg expected. They also know that things on the Internet are constantly changing at an extremely rapid rate, and the only way any organization can stay alive is to be unbelievably dynamic."
Nothing encapsulates that culture better than Bootcamp, a program started in 2008 by Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, a burly and gregarious Saratoga native with a map of California tattooed on his forearm who was one of Zuckerberg's teaching assistants at Harvard. One of the keepers of Facebook culture, Bosworth started Bootcamp when Facebook's engineering organization passed 150 people, a threshold known as "Dunbar's number," the maximum number of people with whom humans are believed to be able to maintain stable social relationships.
Almost immediately after reporting for Bootcamp, new hires get assigned by Seligstein to work independently on a few real software bugs and problems, between lectures and other Bootcamp activities. The expectation is that some of their code should be ready to go live within days -- one way Bootcamp tries to unlearn habits that don't fit with Facebook's urgent, ship-it-now culture.
The program is so important that Zuckerberg included an explanation in his "Hacker Way" letter on Facebook's philosophy that accompanied the company's IPO filing in February.
"There are a lot of folks in the industry who manage engineers and don't want to code themselves, but the type of hands-on people we're looking for are willing and able to go through Bootcamp," Zuckerberg wrote.
Now that Facebook is growing so fast -- about one-third of the company's roughly 3,200 employees have been hired since the start of 2011 -- Bootcamp has become a critical way to expose new hires to the company's values and culture.
Beyond all else, Facebook executives say, employees have not just the freedom, but the obligation, to try new things and fail, because "shipping code" -- adding new software that runs the website -- as quickly as possible is crucial to the company's success.
What other Silicon Valley companies "don't do is let their employees take risks, and have failure be OK," said Jocelyn Goldfein, a Facebook director of engineering. "I think that is part of the secret sauce at Facebook. I didn't understand this one until after I got here -- that the tolerance for failure, that 'Move Fast and Break Things,' is actually what keeps us open to continue to innovate."
"Can you think of another site that routinely pisses off such a large percentage of their customers?" she asked, referring to the user outrage that greets every Facebook change. "But you can think of lots that had plenty of happy users, and eventually dwindled into irrelevance."
Even though she was a longtime manager at VMware and high-profile hire in 2010, Goldfein went through Bootcamp like everybody else. By her first week, she said, she had shipped more software code at Facebook than she did in her seven years at VMware.
And, as has happened before, a fellow Bootcamper, working on one of the software bugs that new recruits are typically assigned to fix, made a mistake that crashed part of Facebook.
"That was a really scary experience for him," Goldfein said. "But no one said, 'You idiot; you don't belong here.' They said, 'Hey, you tried, and here's what we're going to do to try to fix it, and this is what you've learned.' That experience of having people rally around you is really tremendous, and what it teaches you to do to is rally around other people."
A Bootcamp class, which can range from three to 40 new engineers, doesn't look much different during the program from any other group of Facebook engineers. There are lectures and talks from top executives like Vice President of Engineering Mike Schroepfer, and Bootcampers learn about the various product groups in preparation for deciding where they want to work. But for the most part, they work independently mastering Facebook's software code base, the long tables that support their large monitors cluttered with cans of Red Bull and Starbucks iced coffee.
One current Bootcamp attendee, Ali-Reza Adl-Tabatabai, was most recently the director of the programming systems lab and senior principal engineer at Intel (INTC) Labs.
"You have people coming into the company, they are engineers, but within the week you are allowing them to change a part of the product that then becomes visible to millions of users," said Adl-Tabatabai. "One thing that really surprised me was how open the culture is. It seems there are no secrets inside."
An early lesson in Bootcamp is that it's fine for any employee to walk up to Zuckerberg or Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg to talk about an engineering problem or a company issue.
"That is actually very hard to teach people," Seligstein said.
But it is a significant lesson.
"What makes (Facebook) flat is that Zuck is very hands-on with the product," Goldfein said. "When he wants to find out what's going on in his organization, he doesn't go talk to the VP, who talks to the director, who talks to the manager, who talks to the engineer. Zuck goes and talks directly to the engineer."

The 'Hacker Way' and Facebook's engineering culture
CEO Mark Zuckerberg and others at Facebook believe the company's culture is an important element of its success. A look at some of Facebook's key internal values:
Egalitarian: Facebook lacks hierarchical titles like "principal engineer" or "senior engineer."
Flat: At no time should there be more than three layers of management between an engineer working on a product and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Even for a major product like Facebook's new Timeline feature, engineering teams begin as a dozen people or fewer.
Just Do It: Engineers are expected to tackle problems on their own accord, to build a prototype that fixes a problem, rather than debating how to do something, or spending too much time trying to get it perfect.
"Hackathons" and "Hack-a-months": Every few months, Facebook engineers pull an all-nighter called Hackathon, trying out software ideas that sometimes turn into real products. Employees are encouraged to do temporary tours with other product teams, something called "Hack-a-month."
Facebook slogans
Starting with Bootcamp, Facebook recruits are exposed to a series of slogans that are intended to encapsulate the company's values. Among the sayings posted on red-letter posters around any Facebook office are:
Move Fast and Break Things
What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid?
The Foolish Wait
Our Work Is Never Over
We Hack Therefore We Are
Are You Fearless?
Done Is Better Than Perfect
Code Wins Arguments

i ordered the acai berry- read all the horror scam stories- went ahead and cancelled my CC# before any charges. Received product, and lo and behold, the order Confirmation # i had received via email and what was on the package were 2 different numbers- that in it self would have lead to multiple problems- I called the # and told them of my findings and to take my # off their list. I did receive the RMA # required to return the product. The pkg is unopened.
I had saved the info from the advertisement in my favorites,when I had initially ordered. I did this because the girl advertising the combo was from the town that I live in and i was curious as to where she lived because it is a very small town. I never got around to deleting it and am glad i didnt. I was surfing the web and came across the same advertisement; I pulled it up and it was a different name-different clothes but undeniablely the same girl.
Finding that to be a proof of their scam, I found several more of the same type advertisements and guess what- same girl-different name and so on. There were also a few other girls with the exact same story and wow-another girl from my "little" home town. Can you believe that cr-p?
Too bad the ad cant be brought to light before it grabs some other unsuspecting person. If it can be- I have the proof saved in my favorites!
Dont like being scammed

UPS Woes and Comic Book shipments
Last week' comic book shipment arrived on New Comic Book day vs the day before as a result of residual lag from the holidays. [This is what I was told] This week' shipment is also being delayed by UPS due to, "incorrectly sorted the package at our facility. This may cause at least one business day delay."
I am sorry about this, but as soon as the shipment arrives, I sort through it as quickly and as accurately as possible.

Fallout 4: Disable Vsync / Laggy Mouse possible fixes
For those that might be suffering from frame rate issues and or a laggy sluggish mouse, this is what I did to fix it. [your mileage may vary]
Mouse Acceleration Fix in Fallout 4
Mouse acceleration appears to be on by default in Fallout 4. To remove it you will need to open your Fallout4.ini (C:\Users\[name]\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\).
Scroll down to [Controls], and under this add the below line:
Next open up Fallout4Prefs.ini also in (C:\Users\[name]\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\) and under [Display] add:
Next go to the second Fallout4Prefs.ini located at wherever you installed steam then open steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Fallout4, and under [Display] once again add:
Note: this will not remove it from menus or similar, but it removes it from 'within' the game.
Unlock Frame Rate / Disable VSync
The following is a possible work/fix [verified when I made the changed] to remove some miucrostutters.
The below is how to unlock your frame rate if you have this 30fps cap:
To unlock frame rate open Fallout4Pref.ini (located at C:\Users\[name]\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\). Note making a backup isn't neccessary as if you simply delete Fallout4Pref.ini the game will auto generate new one next time it is opened.
Search for the line iPresentInterval=1, and change it to iPresentInterval=0
Next to re-enable vsync got to the nvidia/amd control panels and enable vsync via the hardware.
How to change the game FOV.
In Fallout 4 it appears that you will need to change three files, there are two files called Fallout4Prefs.ini in two different locations and one called Fallout4.ini, all three need to be changed as below.
Firstly go to your Fallout4.ini (loacted at C:\Users\[name]\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\) and under [Display] put the below:
* where XX is you desired fov in third person.
* where YY is the desired fov in first person.
I have set mine both to 100 for now.
Next go to the Fallout4Prefs.ini and do the same directory as above (C:\Users\[name]\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\), under [Display] put:
* where XX is you desired fov in third person.
* where YY is the desired fov in first person.
Again, I set them both to 100. The great thing, if it doesn't work or you don't like it. You can make tweaks as you go.
Next go to where you installed steam then open steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Fallout4 (a folder called Fallout 4 is in another folder called Fallout4, how many levels deep does this go 😉 ). Next open the Fallout4Prefs.ini here and once again under [Display] add the below:
* where XX is you desired fov in third person.
* where YY is the desired fov in first person.
Again, 100 for the vlaues.
After making these changes, if you make changes in-game [under Interface] , the above changed will be changed back.
Your FOV should now be changed for both first and third person. 🙂
Finally to change you gun model (and pip body fov) do the below.
If you find your pipboy to be to small, press ~, the type fov XX, where XX would be the size of the pipboy screen you will want and you might have to go back and forth a couple of times. Next type in refreshini, doing so will make it so your game will not revert to the default fov. Next press ~ save your game and from that point on you should be set
Howard the Duck #1, the seventh-best-selling comic title in comic stores in March (and the seventh-best-selling Marvel), sold nearly 86,000 copies, or around 17% more than the best-selling DC, the videogame tie-in Batman Arkham Knight #1, which sold around 73,000.
Up at the top of the chart, it looks like Star Wars is going to settle over 150,000; the third issue racked up over 161,000 copies in first-month sales in the #2 slot, almost identical to the sales of #2. That would make it the #1 title in many months, giving Marvel another franchise title with reliably strong sales.
The first issue of Princess Leia was the top title in March, with over 253,000 copies sold, a hair below Darth Vader #1 last month, but continuing a string of huge launches in the Star Wars family for Marvel.
One of my first Comic books
One of the very first comic book titles that I really started to collect was the under appreciated Howard the Duck.
I did vote for him when he ran for president in 1976 vs Jimmy Carter.
I do understand that the movie, was far from 'good', but it was Howard the Duck!
Then in 2008, the fine people of Wizkids has made him a 'rare' clix.
There was also the cameo of him at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Very soon, Marvel Comics will be bring him back [again] to the pages of comic books.
I sure hope that they do it right, he was a fun read, but we have to wait until March 4th, 2015 to see what happens.

When he came back on the line he said because of my credit history , I would have to put up some good faith money of $300 which i would get back when i get my loan. I told him i didn't have $300 i only had $200 so he said just a minute he would have to check with his supervisor and he put my on hold again. When he came back on the line he said they could do $211 and he proceeded to ask me how long it would take me to come up with the money. So i told him.
He told me when i had the money to go down to a Walgreens and call him when i got there. When i called him he told me to load it onto a Vanilla Reload network card and then told me to scratch off the pin number and read it to him which i did. After that he said ok , to get your loan you need to scan the front and back of the prepaid card, the front and back of your Drivers License and the receipt showing there was money on the card and then email it to him. He would finish processing it and i would have the money put in my bank account by 7:00 that night.
After i did all that I called him back and told him i did it, his "supervisor" then calls me and tells me because of my credit i need to go back to walgrenns and get another card and send them another $268.00 to get the loan. I told him what Mike had said and he said he can go over Mikes head and change the terms. If we did this it would the money would be in our account in 3 hours.
I told him we didn't have any more money so he told ask me "can't you borrow the money from friends, family, or coworkers and when you get the loan give the money back". I told him no and then asked if we wanted to cancel the loan how long would it take to get my money back he told me 3 1/2 months. And kept repeating as soon as i give them the rest of the money , he could put the loan in my account in 3 hours.
I then told him i didn't want to get scammed by giving him more money and not getting anything in return. He insisted they were legit and when could i come up with the money. I said ok and hung up. My husband called him back and asked him the same thing about getting the money back and he told him the same thing. I went online to transfer the money off the card and it was already gone.

Oxfordshire County Council will consider an appeal against a decision made under its home-to-school transport next week.
The county council recently changed its policy to stop funding free transport for children from September 2015 unless they go to their nearest school. The move could save up to £2m.
However, the appeal relates to its existing policy, which provides free transport to a child's catchment school.
A decision on the issue will be made by the appeals and tribunals sub-committee.
The meeting, at County Hall on Monday, will be held in private.
Details of the appeal have not been released.

Your skin needs more than a just a splash of water in the morning: Hydration and sun protection are essential to its health. Jack Black's 2-in-1 moisturizer is a fast-absorbing formula that guards against UV rays all day and repairs skin cells overnight. With no fragrance and no colorants, you won't even know it's there.
It is very hard to find an SPF that won't contribute to oily skin. I have oily skin. This JB product is one of the few that I can use that doesn't leave me oily. It seems the higher the SPF the worse the oil is. So this is a good product with an OK level of SPF. You should reapply it every 2 hours to keep the protection.5
I had been using another moisturizer on my skin which I was happy with, but I've found the Jack Black product to be lighter feeling and equally good at preventing my skin from drying out. It has a soft scent that doesn't last too long and a little goes a long way during application. This is my first experience with the Jack Black products and I'm hoping to see more of their line as samples included in my box in the future.5

Hey there. I would be happy to take a look but I can't do anything without a link to your site. Could you post a link here?
Obviously add an item to cart to see menu.
Hello! I had a chance to look over the issue, and it's a more difficult fix as your theme heavily modifies the standard WordPress menu. You can either add the necessary spans yourself (you can do this by changing the output of the menu cart file) or you can purchase a customization package from our site: https://wpovernight.com/shop/woocommerce-menu-cart-custom-css/ We'll certainly have to customize the menu cart plugin and may need to have access to the theme as well. If you upgrade to pro version you get a discount on the css customization as well as a discount on the pro version: https://wpovernight.com/shop/woocommerce-menu-cart-pro-custom-css/
I hope that's helpful, please let me know if you have any other questions.

This PCI slot card will give you 4 different ports for firewire. This is actually very good as I have many devices that have firewire, such as my external hard drives. I find it to be slightly faster than USB. A good product that is not too expensive.

Reviewed by Gummy from Saint-Laurent, PQ CA
The thing that surprised me the most of this PCI host adapter is the design of the PCB. As you can see in the picture, it is nearly like a triangle. The design does not seem to pose much advantages though, unless less material would mean less expensive. This is a great fix if you want some extra USB 2.0 ports. Works great.

Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200RPM SATA3/SATA 6.0 GB/s 64MB Hard Drive (3.5 inch)

Reviewed by undead soul from Abington, PA US
The Good:
The 64MB cache keeps the hard drive running smoothly when activity is high. The trade-offs as you go higher in storage capacity are not worth it as of 2013. For example, the 3TB drives typically have slower access time than this drive.
The Squirrelly:
As critical as I can be at times, it is difficult to knock this hard drive. Nothing negative to report here.
Pro Tip:
Do not buy just for storage capacity alone. Always think of the speed of performance (access time, transfer rates, etc.). If they made a similar drive with more than 64MB cache I may have bought it instead.

Reviewed by Anonymous from Ashland, OH US
The Good:
The price was right and it works great. I copied 1.5TB between this drive and a comparable Seagate 3TB model. I reached continous write speeds of up tp 200MBs. By the time the drive was half full, the speed was down to 150-160 continous. This is quite impressive since this happens on a SATA 2 machine. It is around 75MBs faster than any of my other drives.When copying from an older SATA 1 drive, the speed was only 50-60 MBs.
The Squirrelly:
None so far
Pro Tip:
It seems that working with two similar drives can dramatically increase their efficecy. I copied from a Samsung 1TB drive that was one of the fastest available a year ago and only reached 125 MBs.

The Good:
It's a cheap 4tb drive
The Squirrelly:
The spin up from standby on this drive is incredibly loud and takes about 7 seconds for your computer to become responsive. For a backup drive, it spins down constantly. Power management is not configurable, at last on MacOS. It does not honor power management settings so you cannot configure it to not spin down. This is a nightmare if you made this capsule drive for time machine. It will make you insane.
Pro Tip:
If you return this under warranty to Seagate, even if it is 2 months old, they will send you a refurb drive. Yuck.

Reviewed by Anonymous from Raleigh, NC US
The Good:
I converted two WD Caviar black drives to 500Gb and 1Tb Velociraptor drives respectively. The difference is amazing. Bootup is much faster and all applications load with incredible speed. These drives come very close to solid state drive performance. In fact, for heavy write to drive applications, such as video rendering, they are superior to SS drives. Admittedly, read speeds are not as fast as SS drives, but you get a lot more disk space for your money. I intend to buy two more.
The Squirrelly:
Nothing really. These 2.5 inch drives come in a heat sink 3.5 inch case, and uses standard SATA or RAID configuration.
Pro Tip:
These are 10,000 rpm drives and even with the heat sinks will run hot under heavy loads. Make sure your case has enough air flow and you should be fine.

We received the following letter from a recent patient.
It is truly amazing that with all the research on this subject, (including double-blind & placebo controlled studies), that widespread testing for food allergies is still not done.
Dr. Wangen,
When I came to see you for migranes I felt as though I was making a "last ditch" effort. I had suffered from headaches since I was about 12 years old and the preceding 3 years had become unbearable. At the time I saw you I had had the same headache for about 8 months. I was miserable. (The headache before that had lasted 18 months!)
Many times over the years I had asked various healthcare providers if something I was eating was making me sick. EVERY single one of them told me that food allergies do not cause migraines. And yet that was the first thing you tested me for! The three weeks I waited for my blood test results seemed like forever. When the test results did come back they showed that I was highly reactive to dairy, eggs, and sesame and reactive to other foods as well though not as severely. I left your office a bit overwhelmed and wondering how on earth I was going to eat. I had a good cry in the car and then stopped for a cheese burger on a sesame seed bun on the way home. Then I cried again. My tears were in part because I felt so consumed by this new information, and in part because I finally had a possible new solution to ridding myself of the constant pain.
After that final cheeseburger I never looked back. I eliminated every single item that my blood testing indicated could be a problem. Of course it was a huge challenge at first to change my diet so drastically. But it proved to be absolutely worth it. After about 3 weeks my headaches started to lessen.
It wasn't every day anymore.
After about 5 weeks I felt significantly better. That was all I needed to keep me going! My son (aged 8) noticed that mommy was more "fun." He commented about how good it was that I wasn't always in bed. Heartbreaking for me to hear, but he was right.
For a long time I was committed to the new diet and I did not stray from it one tiny bit. I eventually decided to try one of my old favorite foods. I quickly learned that my digestive system no longer tolerated eggs and dairy and the next day I had a headache which lasted for 5 days. This seems to be a predictable pattern as I have tried a few other foods in the past 6 months. At this point I am not interested in trying to add back any of the foods which I tested positive for (although I may consider having some Creme Brulee on my birthday in August…).
My headaches are not entirely gone. But now I know any new headache will only last a day, maybe 2, and then it will end. I previously had headaches that didn't have endings. Knowing that any headaches now will end makes it much easier to cope.
When I think about the time and money spent over the years on EEG's, MRI's, CT scans, a cabinet full of prescription drugs, biofeedback, and more I want to scream! My neurologist at that time told me that there was nothing more he could do for me, he didn't need to see me again.
All this to tell you how much I appreciate you! Previously, I couldn't imagine the migraines would ever end, and yet they have! I appreciate everything you have helped me with. THANK YOU!!
While we focus on IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), it is amazing how many other health problems are related to immune system food reactions and other digestive issues.
