CRANFORD — The township may not receive federal money it was hoping to receive for a flood mitigation project that started after Hurricane Irene.
Instead, that money may be used elsewhere in the state to help cleanup Hurricane Sandy, Mayor Tom Hannen during the June 11 workshop meeting.
"The money we thought would become available in subsequent rounds of funding apparently isn't going to be slated for any of the FEMA mitigation stuff that we want in our flood zone," the mayor said.
The township is now gathering information from anyone whose homes sustained flood damage during Hurricane Irene — even if the damage was covered by their private insurance. — to show FEMA there's significant need for flood mitigation here and also to address criticism over how the 18 homes were chosen to receive federal funding.
Last spring, FEMA and local officials announced that 18 Cranford properties that experienced extreme flooding had been identified for elevation to mitigate future flooding would benefit from the federal funding.
The properties have historically experienced extreme flooding, and the continued cost to the township and homeowners for cleanup and restoration has prompted local elected officials to request funding to elevate these properties. Officials said that elevation was the most cost-effective mode of mitigation.
"I've heard a lot of criticism and concern about the way the homes were picked, and we've been trying to come up with a method to bring more homes into the program," Hannen said.
Although he said the township is aware that it likely will not get funding enough to cover every home, officials are still looking for a more thorough accounting of homes that sustained flood damage. Previous attempts to collect the information were thwarted by the fact that many people were still not back in their homes to get the letters of explanation.
"We'd like to do something to make more homes eligible, and this is the only outlet we can see right now," Hannen said. "That doesn't mean the addresses that were on the previous list as 'round two' won't be included, because they will."
Commissioner Andis Kalnins said the way it was explained to the Township Committee, the funding is an annual process, and every time there is another event, there's another round of additions to the list.
Township Administrator Joe Hartnett said homeowners who have private insurance don't show up on FEMA's list but should be included. Commissioners also emphasized that the municipality does not receive FEMA funding but instead it goes to individual homeowners.
"The state's asking for information, and we should give them everything we know," he said. "This has nothing to do with applying for FEMA aid at this point, we are just giving them data. If the state deems us eligible for funding, they'll let the homeowners know how to go about applying."

Peanut Butter Caramel Apples
Posted By IsaChandra On October 24, 2011 @ 4:39 pm In Desserts,Gluten Free,Halloween,Recipe | 62 Comments
Makes 6 Apples
This recipe originally appeared in my column "Nickle & Dined" for Bust Magazine. Check out Bust for more delicious and affordable recipes!
Do you love to spread creamy peanut butter on crisp, sweet apples? This recipe takes that heaven and times it by 10. And just in time for Halloween!
Caramel making is an art, one you might not have time to perfect in between doling out candy to the neighborhood ghouls and crafting up your perfect slutty angel costume. This recipe dumbs it down with a secret ingredient: brown rice syrup. Now, it may not be the cheapest ingredient out there – it costs around 6 dollars for a jar – but it pretty much guarantees your caramel will turn out perfect. It also saves you some money at the dentist! The natural sugars in brown rice syrup will be much easier on your pearly whites.
Salty roasted peanuts top off the apple, making all your ooey gooey salty and sweet dreams come true. These little caramel apples are so fun and easy you can definitely get kids involved in the process! But don't get your cats involved, trust me, it will be a disaster.
6 Granny Smith or Macintosh apples
1/2 cup well-stirred smooth natural peanut butter, at room temperature (I recommend Arrowhead Mills [1])
1/2 cup brown rice syrup, at room temperature
1 cup salted roasted peanuts, chopped well
6 bamboo skewers
Wax paper
Stick skewers through the bottoms of the apples. Make sure apples are secure. Set aside.
Spread a piece of parchment paper over a cutting board. Make room in your fridge for the cutting board, because you'll be chilling the whole shebang.
Stir peanut butter and brown rice syrup together in a small sauce pan. Gently heat over low heat, stirring constantly with a fork, just until smooth and heated through. It should fall from your fork in ribbons. If it seems stiff, turn the heat off immediately and add a little extra brown rice syrup, until it's fluid again. This happens because different peanut butters have varying amounts of moisture.
Use a spoon to spread peanut butter caramel over the entire apple. Sprinkle with peanuts, pressing peanuts into the caramel to make them stick. It's ok if a few fall off. Place apple upside down on the wax paper and continue with the rest of the apples.
Transfer the cutting board with the apples to the fridge. Let set for at least 3 hours. Now apples are ready to eat!

Google unveils Nexus One
Ciara O'Brien
Google has finally unveiled its own handset, the Nexus One. Speculation about the Nexus One has been rife in the past few weeks as leaked details and photographs of the device surfaced online.
It turns out that some of the leaks were correct, but will the Nexus One be the iPhone killer?I'm starting to hate that term. While I'm guilty of using it myself, it seems to be trotted out for every touchscreen device going. The Nexus One has come up with an equally irritating term: it's been described as a "superphone". Whether it is or not is a mtter of opinion though.
A few facts about the phone:
The Nexus One will run on Google's Android operating system and will feature version 2.1 of the software.
It has a Qualcomm snapdragon 1GHz processor, 512Mb of RAM built in, and memory is expandable from 4Gb to 32Gb through the use of a secure digital memory card.
It's thin and light, although probably not quite as eye-catching as the iPhone. However, the 3.7 inch display is slightly larger than Apple's (3.5 inches).
The camera is better than the one in the iPhone – 5 megapixels with an LED flash. Like the iPhone, it also does video.
One of the most interesting features is the enhanced voice control, which allows you to compose and email, text message, twitter update, etc by simply speaking it.
It has some cool 3D stuff, which may or may not interest you. Interactive wallpapers don't really hold my interest, but 3D elements to Google earth might do it.
Google will be selling it through its own store, and will offer it sim-free from the very beginning.
So will it be a serious iPhone challenger? Who knows. The iPhone still has the App Store and its 90,000+ applications to download. Despite the fact that a good proportion of them are useless to many people, there are new and more interesting applications being developed all the time and developers have got on board with the App Store.
The iPhone also does multimedia pretty well, although certain features such as the lack of openness of the system are an irritation.
It might be a while before the Nexus One's success (or lack of it) is properly seen. The device is not yet available to buy in Ireland, with devices initially only available to the US, UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Mary Baldwin University senior Casandra Jones traveled to Chennai, India, this summer as a part of the world music ensemble Global Rhythms, founded by Mary Baldwin's Artist-in-Residence Srinivas Krishnan. She joined a team of more than 20 members from various disciplines, including Krishnan, Indian musicians, and students from Miami University of Ohio.
"I think it's one of the redeeming qualities of music — you don't have to major in it to get it," Krishnan told The Times of India, which covered the August Global Rhythms performance. "These youngsters are pursuing various disciplines. Music just happens to be their greatest love."
The group dubbed themselves "Moxie" after an American soda drink from the turn of the 20th century, because they wanted to embody the meaning of "moxie" as "having energy, courage, and determination."
Jones, who had not performed since high school, reinvigorated her passion for singing during the trip. Global Rhythms encourages its performers to capture different ethnic styles and traditions in a single performance.
"The people we performed for loved that it was so different," Jones said. At one concert, the group performed African-American gospel music, Haitian songs, and "Jai Ho" from the Academy Award-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. About embracing multiple genres, Jones said, "It was weird and awesome at the same time."
The group visited Kalakshetra, a conservatory centered upon the study and performance of traditional Indian arts. While there, the Moxie's went to different lessons with Indian musicians and partnered with four conservatory students on a barbershop quartet piece. The American and Indian students became fast friends during the musical exchange. "They're like our best friends now," Jones said, affirming the idea that music is a universal language.
As well as experiencing different styles of music, Jones enjoyed being exposed to different instruments while studying in India. She especially responded to the nagaswaram, a double-reed instrument popular in the traditional Carnatic music of southern India. For Jones, it was fascinating to approach Indian instruments with American ears. "The worse it sounds to me, the better it sounds to them," she joked about acclimating to the nagaswaram's distinctive sound.
In response to her first trip to India, Jones was impressed by how hospitable everyone was. "You could have an amazing cup of tea anywhere," she laughed. The Rotary Club of Chennai sponsored the Moxie's housing in hotels and also arranged for them to stay at local homes. "Every house we went to wanted to give us food and chai," she said. "Everyone loved music, too."
Jones found ways to apply what she learned from Global Rhythms in India to her major in public health. "I wanted go abroad to get experience in global health. Just being around a different culture is inspiring," she said.
Though her interests in music and public health may seem divergent, Jones thinks of music as a tool for improving people's lives. She referenced the World Health Organization's definition of health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease. "The experience really made me realize again how much everything can be connected to public health," Jones affirmed. "Music is connected to health."
Krishnan will return to Mary Baldwin to lead an international cafe talk on "India's Changing Corporate Culture" on October 5 at noon in the Spencer Center.
For more information about Global Rhythms in India and how you can join them on their next trip, contact Casandra Jones or Heather Ward, director of international programs.
There will also be an information session with Krishnan and Jones on October 5 at 5 p.m. in the Spencer Center for students interested in the experience.

Neill Blomkamp talks Elysium and Halo
Elysium isn't a remake of a tired old movie, or an adaptation of a video game, which could definitely confuse a lot of people, but we at TG are looking forward to the film because it's the follow up of director Neill Blomkamp, the man who gave us District 9.
It's hard to remember the last time a brand new director made a debut this strong, and we're looking forward to seeing what he's got up his sleeve next. (Blomkamp was originally going to direct the big screen adaptation of Halo, but he went on to District 9 once the movie version of the Microsoft franchise fell apart at Universal).
Elysium takes place in 2154. If you're extremely rich, you live in outer space, and the poor are left to live on earth, which is wrecked beyond repair. But there is a hero who will hopefully bring equality to us all in the future. At least, this is the Internet Movie Database thumbnail sketch of the film. Giant Freakin Robot also tells us the hero, played by Matt Damon, is dying of cancer, (Huffington Post tells us he's got five days left) and he's trying to get onto the space station where the rich reside in search of a cure, but there's also bounty hunter after him.

I spent an interesting few hours in the company of composer Nico Bentley this weekend. Apart from him not having heard of TheThe he was a thoroughly decent guy.
To talk to a young creator about the potential for the digital world to support his profession was fascinating. He didn't have all the answers but was happy with the current disruption in the music industry.

The White House confirmed Wednesday that Ken Salazar will be stepping down in March from his post as Secretary of Interior. The majority of environmentalist groups couldn't be happier.
Salazar, a fifth-generation rancher, former Colorado attorney general and senator, leaves the position with a less-than-stellar environmental record. His listings for endangered species were paltry, even compared to the Bush administration.
Barack Obama's choice in 2008 for Salazar to manage the DOI was controversial with wildlife advocates from the start, but he was confirmed and tasked with cleaning up the beleaguered department and restoring scientific integrity, while overcoming skepticism expressed by the environmental community.
But environmentalists have been very disappointed and claim he has the worst record in the history of the DOI. He was supposed to restore scientific integrity to the department, but has appeared to let his personal bias as a rancher and landowner get in the way of protecting species like wolves and prairie dogs.
Many controversial decisions have been made by Salazar, like removing Rocky Mountain wolves from the ESA while the species is still vulnerable, the failure to use the full force of the ESA to protect polar bear habitat, the mishandling of the drilling permit process after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and most recently the mismanagement of wild horses on public land being sold potentially for slaughter.
Defenders of Wildlife has continued to file lawsuits for wolf protection that will simmer throughout 2013, well after Salazar is gone.
After four years of Salazar's leadership as secretary, his report card gets a failing grade from wildlife conservationists and last month a letter signed by 238 environmental groups was sent to President Obama asking him to replace Salazar with Rep. Raul Grijalva.
Grijalva has an excellent record as the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public lands and he has been a leader on the House Natural Resource Committee.
"Congressman Grijalva's a visionary leader with the courage and practical skills to solve the long list of pressing environmental issues we face," said Kieran Suckling, director of Center for Biological Diversity. "There's no better person for interior secretary than Mr. Grijalva."
Excerpt from letter from coalition of environmentalists, including groups like WildEarth Guardians and Prairie Dog Coalition, to Obama regarding his choice of Interior Secretary:
The next Interior Secretary will have a crucial role to play in addressing the growing threat of global warming to national parks, wildlife refuges, public lands, wildlife and all the people who enjoy and depend upon them. While scientists have clearly established the enormity of the task before us to adapt to a changing climate, Interior has thus far taken only small steps and issued no significant policy decisions. Now is the time to establish a firm, science‐based action plan to manage lands, waters and wildlife under these new intensifying stresses. Such action requires a knowledgeable, visionary leader who grasps both the urgency of this crisis and the practical paths toward real‐world solutions.
Salazar's departure comes at a time when Obama is tackling thorny issues in Congress like gun control and the debt ceiling, with immigration and climate change percolating on backburner, while he also fields criticism for failing to appoint more women and increase diversity in his cabinet.
Rep. Raul Grijalva is a Mexican American. If only he were a female, he would probably be nominated in a nano-second. Whether he would get support of Republicans, who seem cranky about every nominee the president has named, would be the question.

Dave Richards: See 'Spamalot' at Playhouse
Even more than "I Love Lucy," I love lunacy. There's something brave and admirably reckless in just going for it by going over the top. Madness can be a virtue.
When I was a kid, my lunatic fringe involved the Three Stooges, who pushed physical comedy beyond the pale. If second-graders had the right to vote in my day, Curly would have been President, not Kennedy.
I could never get enough cartoons -- especially Bugs Bunny and the ongoing saga of Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coytoe. Beep beep!
Around college time I discovered Britain's Monty Python who took lunacy to lunar levels. The troupe was so out there, so wildly adventurous and borderline insane that it aquired nothing more than a cult following in the U.S. -- at first.
But as word spread and then "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" hit theaters, that was it. Python entered the mainstream, released a few more movies ("Life of Brian" was best), then split up.
Like so many others, I was devastated and, of course, blamed Yoko Ono. But, as Python suggested,'tis better to always look on the bright side of life.
Then it happened: Python's Eric Idle decided to adapt "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" for Broadway. A musical with a killer rabbit? Knights Who Say Ni? A , cowardly Sir Robin? A Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Show?
Can't miss, I thought.
And it didn't. Blessed with a terrific cast that included Tim Curry as King Arthur, David Hyde Pierce as Sir Robin and Hank Azaria as Sir Lancelot, the musical won Tony awards for Best Musical, Best Director for Mike Nichols, Best Featured Actress for Sara Ramirez and Best Fish-Slapping Song.
I finally saw "Monty Python's Spamalot" in October 2010, when it played at the Warner Theatre as part of the Erie Broadway Series before a sold-out crowd. The whole family went, including our pet fish Eric.
The show was just as zany, madcap and joyfully energetic as I hoped. It was also considerably tamed down from the film version of "Holy Grail": red streamers for blood, mild language, no nudity. I had no problem with that; it was still bloody funny.
Now "Monty Python's Spamalot" is at the Erie Playhouse as the kickoff show for the 2013-14 season. I saw a preview on Wednesday, and it's a stitch, though one overly confident knight may need many stitches.
The Playhouse cast captures the show's inherent silliness, but I'm not going to give anything way. Jokes come fast and out of nowhere; it's best to experience them fresh. Plus, if you've only seen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," you're in for surprises. The show deviates significantly from the film, especially with how it sends up Andrew Lloyd Weber and Barbra Streisand.
It's as funny as a flying circus.

Evesham Wood
Unforgettable Pinot noir
Long after the bottle is gone, the wine finished, and months have passed, Evesham Wood Pinot noir is unforgettable
Russ Raney, owner and winemaker at Evesham Wood, is an Oregon treasure. He's an unassuming, kind fellow, and a lot of wine lovers in Oregon think he's something of a genius when it comes to wine.
He has always priced his wines fairly, avoided publicity, and quietly gained a cult status. Almost thirty years since he and his family moved to Salem, Oregon, he continues to make great wines, reflecting his interest in terroir and his inspiration, the wines of France.
The wines of Evesham Wood epitomize the elegance and refinement of Oregon's best Pinots. Russ's main sources of inspiration and advice have come from two of Burgundy's top small producers: the legendary Henri Jayer (Vosne-Romanee), and Michel Niellon (Chassagne-Montrachet).
Evesham Wood
La Grive Bleue
Made from Evesham Wood's organically farmed estate vineyard, the 07 La Grive Bleue is filled with forest scents, brambly raspberries, dried herbs, and cinnamon. Elegantly styled, it's a perfect Pinot noir to have with food. For fans of subtle, graceful wines, this is an outstanding value.
Evesham Wood
Chardonnay "Le Puit Sec"
Russ describes the wine: "This is our lone barrel-fermented Chardonnay each year, being a blend of Dijon clones 76, 95 & 96. The 2007 edition is somewhat counterintuitive in that it is more concentrated than the 2006 rendition, yet still with its characteristic crisp and flinty notes. The basic flavor profile is what one would expect from our Estate site, with tones of ripe pear and hazelnut, and a nice texture from long lees contact and 18 months of barrel age. Bottled unfiltered. Only 115 cases produced."
Evesham Wood
Cuvee "J"
Pinot noir
One of Oregon's
Most Collectible Wines
"A subtle and very deft touch of wood frames ripe, rich aromas that are similar to those of the Puits Sec, with perhaps a more evident hint of earth. The nose is picked up in the wine, complemented by the rich, full and delicious medium weight - plus flavors that are slightly more concentrated and certainly more powerful, all wrapped in a long and layered finish that both coats the mouth and stains the palate. Lovely and recommended." - Burghound
Russ describes the wine: "The 2006 Cuvee J barrel selection was sourced exclusively from Le Puits Sec,
with the fruit coming 100% from the older Pommard section of the Estate vineyard. It
displays the vineyard's typical flavor profile, yet with slightly darker fruit
tones and more viscosity (thus somewhat longer finish) than its counterpart, Le Puits
Evesham Wood
Eola Amity
Pinot noir
The palate is surprisingly broad and round - an elegant and silky rendition of Evesham's pinot noir that one need not wait to enjoy. There is a bright cherry and strawberry component to this wine. Highly recommended, one of the best $20 Pinot noirs anywhere.
Russ describes the wine: "most of this wine is from Temperance Hill Vineyard in the south-central part of the hills, comprising 65% of the blend. The remaining 35% is made from grapes grown at Bryn Mawr Vineyard, just a stone's throw from Temperance Hill. This wine exhibits a slightly "cedary" component to the wine with overtones of black currant."

If the reason is totally unrelated to SNTA....personal.....the stock goes up...
There is a Twitter comment on this. Says the commute from Chicago to Boston had alot to do with his resignation.
Leaving for "personal reasons" is code for "I saw the Galaxy data and it's a horror show. I had better get out of this pos company before the data hit at ASCO. The last thing I want to have to deal with is living in Boston full time while my family remains in Chicago just to deal with hundreds of shareholder lawsuits. I am a research scientist, now a lawyer."
Yeah...that's to get the suckers to come in and buy this disaster while institutions dump like crazy

This is concerning setting up a new Bangkok account for new teachers or anyone else. When they get their bankbook, they will also be issued a new ATM card with the account.
Please advise them to instruct to person who is setting up the account to issue one of the older standard ATM cards. The older ones will work with all banks in Thailand. The new one has a computer chip in the lower center part of the card, this one will work only in Bangkok Bank ATM's.
My wife had an atm card replaced from SCB. It has an embedded chip. It doesn't work at a number of bank machines, mostly older ones, but it does work in newer machines from other banks.
...you get what you need.
I tried several ATM's along ladproa this afternoon. When i arrived at the Mall Bangkapi, their branch was open. So, I tested the card out there in their ATM machine and it worked. Then went over to the left and tried the Green one (forgot the name) and Siam, both of those rejected the card half way though the the transaction.
I then went into Bangkok Bank and told the lady, this card is not working for other banks. She said, it is a new security feature to protect you and your card. I asked her about how to get it to work at a non Bangkok Bank ATM due to an emergency, and her response was basically. You can't use it at other Bank, you can open an account at another bank if you like.
^Thanks for the heads-up, elshasheen.
Green to you.
This is probably some internal row and the Bangkok Bank threatened to do this at the finance ministry conference or something similar.
I would say it was a security issue suggested by a high ranking Bkk bank boss ,and nobody had the balls to tell him it was stupid.
My next door neighbours have challenged me to a water fight , so I am just writing this while I am waiting for the kettle to boil .
I never had a problem getting a credit card at bangkok bank. Just had to complete the form in Thai.
Has that changed?
Thank you for the heads-up.
Riddle me this brother can you handle it
Your style to my style you can't hold a candle to it
Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
Smokin' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night
It's not how you play the game it's how you win it

Yes sure - your visa status is relevant.
It would be pretty bonkers if it wasn't.
Obvious to you and I mate....but not everyone is as geniustic as us....don't you know
i just figured. When a Thai comes up with a bright idea to change things. There is a supernova explosion coming.

Oswego County, NY -- Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, has been appointed to the House Agriculture Committee.
The committee has general jurisdiction over federal agriculture policy and oversight of various federal agencies.
"Upstate agriculture is a major driver of our entire state's economy, and now our region has a larger role in the decision making process," Owens said. "As we continue to work our way out of the recession, we need to provide every opportunity to our farming community and small business owners to succeed."
Since taking office, Owens has worked on protecting Upstate dairy farms from the negative effects of a U.S.-New Zealand trade agreement, worked to keep the Market Access Program funded and he currently is working to help farmers through the economic recession by accessing credit through the Farm Service Agency.
Last Month, Owens reintroduced a previous effort by former Rep. John McHugh to allow Upstate New York maple syrup producers greater access to federal resources for maple research, education and promotion.

Emmanuel Ferguson is the youngest candidate seeking the state Senate District 42 seat formerly held by Robert Ford — and he began thinking about politics at a young age.
Emmanuel Ferguson
Age: 28
Family: Single.
Education: College of Charleston; Trident Technical College; Charleston School of Law.
Occupation: Assistant solicitor.
Previous elective office: None
Why I'm running: "The people in this district made me who I am today. I can't pay them back, so I must pay it forward."
More than anything, Senate District 42 needs: "Someone who understands the people who live here. They need someone who can relate to them, their needs, and has the skill set to address those needs."
Contact information: 843-737-2828; 864-617-5933 (manager); www.emmanuelferguson.com; FergusonForSenate @gmail.com
Ferguson, a lawyer with the 9th Circuit Solicitor's Office, said he began thinking about politics and community service in high school.
"I've very little political experience, and I'm proud of that," he said. "I think what this area needs is a fresh, local choice."
Ferguson is one of six Democrats on the Aug. 13 ballot. The other candidates are Herbert S. Fielding, Marlon Kimpson, Margaret Rush, Bob Thompson and Maurice Washington. An Aug. 27 runoff is likely.
While Ferguson has not run for office before — or been active with a local party or campaign — he has been busy working and getting his law degree. One of six children, Ferguson grew up in Charleston and worked his way through college and law school. He also taught as a substitute at James Simons Elementary School and taught at Military Magnet Academy in North Charleston.
"My biggest accomplishment to date is being Emmanuel Ferguson," he said. "I came from nothing. My father couldn't afford to send us to college, so I started working in high school and saving up for college. I worked in college and I worked while I was in law school. That really wasn't easy at all."
Ferguson said he is interested in requiring electronic serial numbers on guns — so they cannot be filed off — though such a change might have to be made at the federal level, not the state level.
He said he also wants to ensure education dollars are spent effectively.
"I'm the only candidate who has been a teacher and who is a lawyer," he said. "I can start on Day 1 working with schools and with the community and with legislators to effectuate meaningful legislation in these areas."
Ferguson said the race will determine who will usher in Charleston's future.
"Is it going to be someone with the same ideas or with the same political agenda? Or is it going to be a new person with fresh ideas and a new political agenda?" he asked. "I don't owe favors to anyone who has scratched my back in the past."

Toddler bed....thoughts?
DS was 13mo when I bought him his own bed. I co-sleep with DD and didn't have to (I have a King so plenty of room) but he loves his bed. It's a Disney Cars toddler bed. DD is snuggler so I think she'll be sleeping with me a little longer, plus, I believe she is used to a bigger bed. I think I'll skip a toddler bed with her and just buy her a Full bed later.
Cayla would probably roll out of it. She sleeps all over the place in the crib lol
I think I will wait until i think shes too big for her crib. Not sure though. we'll see how it goes as she gets bigger
Kyra takes her naps on a pillow in the floor (she'll just sprawl over it and konk out) so I think when we get to move into our own house and DH gets home I'll put her in her own bed. But we're doing the twin mattress on the floor route instead of a toddler bed.
I'd also like to use her crib for the boys when they get here so maybe it'll go well. If not I buy another crib sooner rather than later lol.

Im almost ready to put LO in a toddler bed. When I tell her its night night time she will say nigh nigh and head towards the bedroom. She moves alot in her crib so thats a little conserning but otherwise I think she could be ready.
Momma V (21) ERFing NonCircing First time mom to Thumper JR (11-23-10).
My LO has been on a floor bed (Montessori inspired), since 11 months. Just a mattress on the floor. You could consider that option.
AP European homebirthing mama to DD born in Lebanon (Dec 2010) and DS (Aug 2012) born in Thailand
My boys were around 3 - they say the best time to move into a bed is when they can climb out of the crib and there is a risk of a falling injury. I would keep her there (crib) as long as possible for safety reasons. I bet with some gentler method of sleep training she will sleep in her crib again.
Tobias Martin 11/2004, Julian Owen 09/2006, and�Liliana 11/08/2010
We changed LO's crib into a toddler bed a few weeks ago, because like your situation he hated it and would not sleep in his crib at night, at all! I wanted to try it so I could sit by him while putting him to sleep at night. DH has started putting him down for the night, and he slept from 9-5am in his bed for the first time ever the other night!!
We have his bed in our room, which is totally baby proofed and I use the monitor when he naps during the day..our pedi said it was fine, but safety is the main concern. The bed has a partial rail and I have pillows on the floor, even though it is close to the ground..I think it is a good option to consider for some!

I"m planning on moving her between 2 and 3. Or when we have another LO and he/she needs the bed, which hopefully will be when she's 3 or so. I think if she tries to climb out of her crib and could hurt herself, then I would move her before. I remember sleeping in a crib and constantly trying to get out of it when I was 3. So yeah i'm thinking, by the time she is 3 the latest, but not before 2 for sure.

Cynara scolymus leaf extract is widely used alone or in association with other
herbs for embittering alcoholic and soft drinks and to prepare herbal teas or
herbal medicinal products. Some of the research with artichoke extract is listed
Buy Artichoke Extract, 90 Capsules
Enzymatic Therapy
Cynara scolymus Extract Supplement Facts:
Serving Size 2 capsules
Servings per container 45
Amount per 2 capsules
Artichoke ( Cynara scolymus ) Leaf Extract 320 mg**
Standardized to contain 13% - 18% caffeylquinic acids calculated as chlorogenic acid
Buy Artichoke extract supplement
Recommendations: One or two artichoke capsules 1 to 3 times daily.
Clinical uses of Artichoke leaf extract
Artichoke leaf extract has been tested in heartburn, also known as dyspepsia. It has also been tested in irritable bowel syndrome and high cholesterol.
Cynara scolymus for cholesterol
In a study of 140 people with high blood cholesterol levels, supplementing with a daily artichoke extract of 450mg was found to lower the cholesterol level by 18 per cent. Artichoke contains luteolin and other beneficial flavonoids and compounds.
Cynara scolymus as antioxidant
The effect of artichoke Cynara scolymus L. extract on ROS generation in HUVEC cells.
Phytother Res. 2008. Juzyszyn Z, Czerny B, Pawlik A, Droździk M. Juzyszyn Z, Czerny B, Pawlik A, Droździk M. Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, Pomeranian Medical University, Powstańców Szczecin, Poland.
The effect of an Cynara scolymus extract on induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in cultured human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) and its reductive properties were evaluated. The results of the present study the warrant application of Cynara scolymus extracts as endothelium protecting agents.
Mol Nutr Food Res. 2014 Jan. Investigation of the in vivo antioxidative activity of Cynara scolymus (artichoke) leaf extract in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat.
Effect on mitochondria
The effect of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) extract on respiratory chain system activity in rat liver mitochondria.
Phytother Res. 2010. Juzyszyn Z, Czerny B, Myśliwiec Z, Pawlik A, Droździk M. Department of Medical Chemistry, Pomeranian Medical University, Szczecin, Poland.
The effect of artichoke extract on mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) activity in isolated rat liver mitochondria (including reaction kinetics) was studied. The effect of the extract on the activity of isolated cytochrome oxidase was also studied. Extract in the range of 0.68-2.72 mug/ml demonstrated potent and concentration-dependent inhibitory activity. Concentrations >/=5.4 mug/ml entirely inhibited MRC activity. The succinate oxidase system (MRC complexes II-IV) was the most potently inhibited, its activity at an extract concentration of 1.36 mug/ml being reduced by 63.3% compared with the control. The results suggest a complex inhibitory mechanism of the extract. Inhibition of the succinate oxidase system was competitive, whereas isolated cytochrome oxidase was inhibited noncompetitively. The results of this study suggest that the salubrious effects of artichoke extracts may rely in part on the effects of their active compounds on the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain system.
Cynara scolymus plant studies
Antifungal activity of Cynara scolymus L. extracts.
Fitoterapia. 2005 Jan;76(1):108-11.
Chloroform, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of Cynara scolymus leaves, heads and stems were tested for their antifungal activity using the agar-well diffusion assay technique. The Cynara scolymus leaves extracts and the ethanol fractions were found to be the most effective extract against all the tested organisms.
Cynara scolymus juice improves endothelial function in hyperlipemia.
Life Sci. 2004 Dec 31;76(7):775-82.
Cynara scolymus extracts have been shown to produce various pharmacological effects, such as the inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis and of LDL oxidation. Endothelial dysfunction represents the first stage of atherosclerotic disease. Aim of the study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with artichoke juice on brachial FMV of hyperlipemics. We studied 18 moderately hyperlipemic patients (LDL cholesterol > 130 <200 mg/dl and/or triglycerides >150 <250 mg/dl) of both genders and 10 hyperlipemic patients, matched for age, sex and lipid parameters. In conclusion, Cynara scolymus dietary supplementation seems to positively modulate endothelial function in hypercholesterolemia.
Phenolic compounds from the leaf extract of Cynara scolymus L.
and their antimicrobial activities.
J Agric Food Chem. 2004 Dec 1;52(24):7272-8.
A preliminary antimicrobial disk assay of chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol extracts of Cynara scolymus L. leaf extracts showed that the n-butanol fraction exhibited the most significant antimicrobial activities against seven bacteria species, four yeasts, and four molds. Eight phenolic compounds were isolated from the n-butanol soluble fraction of Cynara scolymus leaf extracts. The isolated compounds were examined for their antimicrobial activities on the above microorganisms, indicating that all eight phenolic compounds showed activity against most of the tested organisms. Among them, chlorogenic acid, cynarin, luteolin-7-rutinoside, and cynaroside exhibited a relatively higher activity than other compounds; in addition, they were more effective against fungi than bacteria.
Artichoke leaf extract reduces symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and
improves quality of life in otherwise healthy volunteers suffering from
concomitant dyspepsia: a subset analysis.
J Altern Complement Med. 2004 Aug;10(4):667-9.
Does artichoke leaf extract ameliorate symptoms of Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in otherwise healthy volunteers suffering concomitant dyspepsia? A subset analysis of a previous dose-ranging, open, postal study, in adults suffering dyspepsia. Two hundred and eight (208) adults were identified post hoc as suffering with IBS. IBS incidence, self-reported usual bowel pattern, and the Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI) were compared before and after a 2-month intervention period. There was a significant fall in IBS incidence of 26.4% after treatment. A significant shift in self-reported usual bowel pattern away from "alternating constipation/diarrhea" toward "normal" was observed. NDI total symptom score significantly decreased by 41% after treatment. Similarly, there was a significant 20% improvement in the NDI total quality-of-life (QOL) score in the subset after treatment. This report supports previous findings that Cynara scolymus leaf extract ameliorates symptoms of IBS, plus improves health-related QOL.
Flavonoids from artichoke Cynara scolymus L. up-regulate
endothelial-type nitric-oxide synthase gene expression in human endothelial
J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2004 Sep;310(3):926-32.
Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) represents an antithrombotic and anti-atherosclerotic principle in the vasculature. Hence, an enhanced expression of eNOS in response to pharmacological interventions could provide protection against cardiovascular diseases. In EA.hy 926 cells, a cell line derived from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), an artichoke leaf extract increased the activity of the human eNOS promoter (determined by luciferase reporter gene assay). An organic subfraction from artichoke leaf extract was more potent in this respect than the crude extract, whereas an aqueous subfraction of artichoke leaf extract was without effect. Thus, in addition to the lipid-lowering and antioxidant properties of artichoke, an increase in eNOS gene transcription may also contribute to its beneficial cardiovascular profile. Cynara scolymus flavonoids are likely to represent the active ingredients mediating eNOS up-regulation.
Effectiveness of artichoke extract in preventing alcohol-induced
hangovers: a randomized controlled trial.
CMAJ. 2003 Dec 9;169(12):1269-73.
Extract of globe artichoke Cynara scolymus is promoted as a possible preventive or cure for alcohol-induced hangover symptoms. However, few rigorous clinical trials have assessed the effects of artichoke extract, and none has examined the effects in relation to hangovers. We undertook this study to test whether artichoke extract is effective in preventing the signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover. Our results suggest that Cynara scolymus extract is not effective in preventing the signs and symptoms of alcohol-induced hangover.
Cynara scolymus leaf extract for treating hypercholesterolaemia.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2002;(3):CD003335.
High cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease and other sequelae of atherosclerosis. Cynara scolymus leaf extract, which is available as an over-the-counter remedy, has been implicated in lowering cholesterol levels. Whether Cynara scolymus leaf extract is truly efficacious for this indication, however, is still a matter of debate. To assess the evidence of Cynara scolymus leaf extract versus placebo or reference medication for treating hypercholesterolaemia defined as mean total cholesterol levels of at least 5.17 mmol/L (200 mg /dL). Few data from rigorous clinical trials assessing Artichoke leaf extract for treating hypercholesterolaemia exist. Beneficial effects are reported, the evidence however is not compelling. The limited data on safety suggest only mild, transient and infrequent adverse events with the short term use of Cynara scolymus leaf extract.

Will 2015 be the biggest year for movies ever? [Updated]
'Star Wars,' 'Avengers 2' and 'Mockingjay' lead the charge
'Fantastic Four'
Director: Josh Trank
Release date: June 19, 2015
Cast: no one confirmed yet, but Michael B. Jordan has been rumored for Johnny Storm.
Lowdown: Trank impressed with "Chronicle," and Fox seems serious about taking another run at this property. And why not? I don't hate the first two movies they made, but I don't particularly like them, either. They're harmless. The greatest sin they commit is that they're forgettable. Casting was part of that, but so was the writing. "The Fantastic Four" is a dense, rich, wacko world if you capture it properly, and Trank seems like he's got a good game plan. Jeremy Slater wrote several drafts and Seth Graeme-Smith is doing the polish, and hopefully they're doing something fresh with it. I would love for this to be a big fun surprise. And as a special bonus, look for Trank and Slater hidden somewhere in plain view during the recent Netflix season of "Arrested Development," at a thematically appropriate moment.

EBENSBURG - Homer-Center coach Bob Rado used eight players in the first quarter of the Wildcats' District 6 Class A quarterfinal-round high school boys basketball playoff game with Williamsburg.
Not all at once, of course. It just seemed that way.
"It was basically chaos from the time we got the ball," Williamsburg senior forward Jed Dishong said.
Homer's full-court pressure and in-your-face defense took the Blue Pirates completely out of their game. Williamsburg wound up with more turnovers than points as the third-seeded Wildcats advanced over the Inter-County Conference North Division runner-up, 71-28, at Bishop Carroll High School on Thursday night.
"We just didn't handle the pressure very well. We looked to force passes over the top," Pirates coach Mike Farrell said after his team finished a 15-8 season. "They were beating us to the ball and beating us to the spot."
Williamsburg never got closer than 15 after committing 13 first-quarter turnovers - four a direct result of the Homer-Center press. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Isiah Carr to finish the opening period and Joe Capitosti to open the second quarter staked the Wildcats to a 26-4 lead just 8:23 into the contest.
"We have a bunch of speedy guys. That puts pressure on teams, and, obviously, tonight, they collapsed on it. We've been doing the full-court press throughout the season. That's always been our go-to," said Carr, who led Homer with five steals, all in the first half. "Right in the beginning, when we had the huge lead, I thought, 'We got it.'"
Williamsburg, which only committed more than 18 turnovers in three games all season and had fewer than 10 eight times, wound up with 33, as the Wildcats swarmed the ball and the passing lanes like sharks during a feeding frenzy.
Making matters more complicated was that Pirates' season assist leader and primary ballhandler Josh Morrissey barely played. The senior picked up his third foul 38 seconds into the second quarter and fouled out with 7:50 left in the game.
"We were surprised, and we started turning over the ball," said Dishong, who scored Williamsburg's first six points and finished with a team-high eight.
Homer-Center next will play Bishop Guilfoyle on Monday at a site to be announced. The 18-5 Wildcats rode the Carrs - Isiah and Darren - in the first quarter, when they scored seven points apiece. The brothers played at Marion Center two years ago but moved to Idaho last year before returning to Indiana County.
"They've added energy to this team, almost like a spark plug," Rado said.
Capitosti ended up leading the Wildcats with 15 points to go along with four steals.
It was a tough draw for the Pirates. After the pairings were announced, Farrell expressed some displeasure that his team was seeded sixth, one spot behind Juniata Valley, which it had beaten twice by 16 points in the regular season. District 6, though, does its seedings based on a point formula including games to a certain point late in the season.
Juniata Valley advanced to the semifinals on Thursday by upsetting fourth-seeded Blacklick Valley.
"I thought we deserved better by where we finished in our own conference, but, unfortunately, we didn't get some conference games in early enough to count towards points," Farrell said. "We still have to come out and play better than we did tonight, obviously, no matter what team we play."
Farrell and Dishong both said they still were happy with the season as a whole.
"Fifteen wins is pretty good. We came in second in the ICC [North]; we'd have liked to have been first, but second's good," Dishong said. "I just wish we could have pulled off that playoff win."

Sometimes the blog is written for me. To follow is a wonderful email from Gail King, that we received way back in September. She is a new glassybaby collector and one of our latest muses.
"Early in September my husband and I ventured down to Seattle for the day. Wanting to explore something different, we happened upon University Village. Further explorations revealed glassybaby.
Once inside, I was asked if I was a "collector." Hmmmm, well yes I am a collector (pottery, cookbooks, vintage linen,) but new to the world of glassybaby. At the time, I said I just don't think I need another collection.
We returned to Seattle for a mid-week trip (mid-September) to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
By this time, I had pondered the question "are you a collector" and had determined that yes I was and that I wanted to be a glassybaby collector. After all a glassybaby collection like pottery and vintage linens is really functional art...stuff that I love and use.
We visited the (Madrona) studio on our wedding anniversary (September 16) and my collection of glassybaby started! My husband and I picked pearl for our first glassybaby. Although bark, fearless, bedford brown, saturday morning and seattle sunset were also in the running.
Your blog was also instrumental in where we would have our anniversary dinner. You mentioned that the staff Christmas celebration was at Restaurant Cremant. So that's where we decided to go. YUM!
So this trip to Seattle we brought back more than our glssybaby. We have a collection of stories of how we came to collect glassybaby and the people who make them (who enjoy good food and wine and support local business.)"
Thank you so much Gail for your thoughtful, incredible email.
Now for a few of my words. On Monday, Martin Luther King Day, the sweetest little girl was in with her mom and auntie. This little darling was decked out in a beautiful lavender dress with twirling capability, and she wore fancy black shoes, that had a slight elevation. When I "ooooed" over her wardrobe ensemble I got a pirouette. Her aunt had the most poetic way of invoking the 'no touching' rule. She said marvelously: "There is no need to put your arms out when you can touch with your eyes." Lovely.
On Tuesday, Inauguration Day, it was thrilling to receive a web order of our gift set trio named: "Change Can Happen." And again, more poetic verbiage marked the week...I heard an NPR piece on Inauguration Day. A woman, in Washington D.C., was interviewed as a witness to the day. Inevitably, she was asked to remark upon the bitterly cold temperature. She replied: "History kept us warm."
Until Next Time, Warmly, Nicola

Sir.—Primary care clinicians must offer anticipatory guidance to parents regarding separation and care of the umbilical stump. Most cords uneventfully separate within 5 to 14 days of birth.1,2 The exact mechanism of cord separation is unknown; however, a combination of factors may contribute to its timing. Bacterial colonization, drying, necrosis, infarction, and granulocyte influx all influence cord separation, independently or in conjunction with one another. Prolonged retention of the umbilical cord may be a source of concern and anxiety to both parents and physicians. Some authors note that delayed separation may be associated with serious disorders of neutrophil function3,4,5 and histiocytosis.6 The following case of an infant with unusually delayed separation (10 weeks) prompted a literature review for guidance regarding management options. As the published information is scant and contradictory, we conducted a poll of practicing pediatricians to evaluate their preferences in managing these cases.

ESL Kids Games & Activities
Clock fun
Have all of your Ss make a clock (our crafts page has a great one).
T (or in pairs Ss) ask questions. E.g. What time did you eat breakfast this morning? What time did you go to bed last night? Etc. Ss move the clock arms to the correct times.
Once upon a time ...
Give each S a squeeky toy or something that makes a noise. This is a nice listening activity. The T tells a story set in the past (make it up as you go along). However, make mistakes with some of the verbs (e.g. A beautiful princess one day waked up and looked out of her window...). Each time you make a mistake the Ss need to squeeze their squeeky toy to make a noise and then correct the T.
Past tense mistakes
In groups, have students write past tense sentences about anything they want on separate pieces of paper - but they have to make a mistake when writing the verb (most Ss will really enjoy being allowed to make a mistake on purpose!). For example, "Last week I eated curry for breakfast everyday" (Encourage crazy situations to make it fun). After writing some sentences on different pieces of paper have the Ss swap papers with other groups and make corrections.
Past tense slap
A very simple activity. Ss are put into teams. The teacher either shows a verb flashcard or says a verb in the infinitive and the Ss have to slap the table if they know the past tense version (e.g. T: "Throw", S: "Threw"). The T asks the S who slapped the table first to give his/her answer to win a point for their team.
The last time I ...
Ss sit in a circle with a pile of action flashcards, face down, in the middle. S1 picks up a card and makes a sentence using the structure, "The last time I ___ was (time expression)" E.g. The last time I played tennis was last summer. The last time I watch TV was yesterday evening. The last time I cooked was 4 days ago, etc. If the sentence is perfect the S keeps the card and scores 1 point. If not, the card is returned to the pile.
Yesterday I went to ...
This is a chain game, like the game "I went to the market and bought ___". T sits in a circle with the Ss. The T starts by saying "Yesterday, I went to the supermarket and bought some bread". Then S2 will have to repeat that sentence and add his/her own, e.g. "Yesterday, I went to the supermarket and bought some bread, then I went to the movie theater and watched a movie". Then S3 repeats these two sentences and add his/her own e.g. "Yesterday, I went to the supermarket and bought some bread, then I went to the movie theater and watched a movie, then I went to a cafe and drank a Coke" ,etc. If a S forgets something he/she sits out that round.
Yesterday Time Guess
On 12 small squares of paper write down key hourly times (e.g. 6am, 7am, 12pm, 4pm, 6pm, etc.). Also include a few "wild cards" with a question mark written on them. Fold the squares of paper and put into a small box. Ss sit around the box and take turns on taking out a piece of paper. They have to make a sentence based on what they did yesterday using the structure, "Yesterday, I was ___ing at ___ o'clock" (E.g. Yesterday, I was sleeping at 6 o'clock in the morning, Yesterday, I was eating dinner at 6 o'clock in the evening, etc.). If a S picks a wild card they can make a sentence about any time of the day. If the student makes a perfect sentence they keep the piece of paper, if not it goes back into the box. The person with the most pieces of paper at the end is the winner.

The unhappy state of the National Children's Study (NCS) has been described in several recent publications.1,2 Authorized by Congress in 2000, but not fully funded until 2007, this ambitious National Institutes of Health (NIH) study has consumed years of planning efforts, produced many reports and white papers, and spent close to a billion dollars.
Yet, in 2013, the study is still in its pilot phase. The original design, proposed in 2004, was to enroll 100 000 pregnant women in a nationally representative sample of 105 communities. But in 2011, the NIH announced that sample size would be increased to "up to 250 000 women,"3 and in 2012 added that the NCS would use "healthcare provider networks as the primary sources for recruitment"4 and that the "enrolled population would no longer be a national proability sample."5 Later in 2012, the NIH had second thoughts and reverted to 100 000 participants, but now at least half would be recruited at birth, not in pregnancy, and from a sampling frame of hospitals, not counties.6

In Kisangani, a city located in the northern part of the country, 31 local volunteers with Foundation Femme Plus, a non-governmental organization specialized in addressing and supporting the psychological needs of HIV-positive people, held an information session with 15 target groups on HIV/AIDS. Discussion topics centred on what is HIV/AIDS, how is it spread, how is it prevented, ways HIV-positive people can lead a happy and healthy life and the role of volunteers in combating the disease. Condoms were distributed at the event, and the participants heard from a HIV-positive person who shared his story of living with the virus. The event was broadcast on radio for two consecutive days and received 30 minutes of airplay on television.
Back in Kinshasa, IVD marked the official inauguration of a reconstructed fresh water well. Initiated by UN Volunteers during the International Year of Volunteers (IYV) in 2001, the well now provides clean and safe drinking water.
A number of students at the CISCO Academy at the University also participated in a free training session on using the Internet as a valuable learning and research tool. The session was led by a national UN Volunteer information and communication technology specialist with the help of six student volunteers.
Other IVD activities outside of the capital included tree planting by 50 Scouts and two UN Volunteers in Lubumbashi, donating of food to the poor and tree planting by the Scouts, three UN Volunteers working with the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the Red Cross in Kananga, construction of a water source for internally displaced persons and distribution of food and blankets to an orphanage by three UN Volunteers and members of an NGO in Mbuji Mayi, and in Kisenge, two UN Volunteers and many volunteers from a number of NGOs reconstructed a bridge, planted fruit trees and promoted volunteerism through various activities such as theatre and traditional dances.
The official ceremony to celebrate IVD was attended by representatives of the Government including the President of the Transitional Parliament and representatives from the Vice-Ministry of International Cooperation and the National Secretariat for Volunteerism. Speeches were read by the Minister of Social Affairs, the United Nations Development Programme Deputy Resident Representative for the country, the President of the IYV Committee and the Governor of Kinshasa.
Themes for IVD included the promotion of volunteerism, addressing HIV/AIDS, the importance of reforestation, protecting fresh water and donating to charities.
Many UN Volunteers, representatives from other UN agencies and members of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) help organized the day and were also active participants during the official ceremony.
