Lead-Safe Renovation, Repair, and Painting
Information for Homeowners, Contractors, Landlords and Tenants
Some renovation and remodeling activities can increase the risk of lead exposure. Homes built before 1978 contain lead-based paint, often under newer paint. If you disturb the painted surface with a repair project or are planning to renovate or remodel an older home, it's important to do the job safely. Lead paint dust or chips can cause serious health problems. Children and pregnant women are at highest risk.
Seal off the work area with plastic sheeting and always wet sand or wet scrape the paint. When surfaces are wet, dust levels and fumes are low. Clean up thoroughly. Children and pregnant women should stay away from work areas until the area is clean.

After reading more I really think this added to sore nips in the beginning because my ds's tie goes clear down, between his two front teeth and attach like on the front of his hard pallet instead of to his gums. So surprised that I have never heard of this before. Anyway, sorry OP, done hijacking now!

for the last 2 or so weeks, dd (who is 30 mos) has been telling me that she's a baby (in this weird little baby voice) every time she asks to nurse.
i don't know where this is coming from. is she just starting to reach an age where she is "embarrassed"? i know she's starting to be embarrassed about getting a diaper changed in front of other kids (she's a late potty-trainer), but she sees other kids usin the potty and not wearing diapers, so that makes more sense.
anyone else's toddlers "regressed" in a similar way while nursing?

Wife wants kidney back from cheating spouse
Marriage fell apart after hubby cheated on her with a friend, woman says
A British woman who donated a kidney to her spouse now wants it back after discovering he cheated on her with a friend during her recovery.
Samantha Lamb, 41, married her husband, Andy, in 2007 and gave him one of her kidneys a few years later when he became ill and needed a transplant, UPI reported.
Their marriage fell apart after rumors of his infidelity.
Now Samantha Lamb wants her kidney back.
"I can't believe he now has a second chance to live to see his grandchildren grow up," she told The Mirror. "I would definitely go through the operation again -- but I wouldn't give the kidney to him. I hate him. If I could I'd take it back and give it someone else. Obviously I don't want people to be put off putting their names on the organ donor list. But all I want from him is his name on the divorce papers."
Although the other woman has admitted to the affair, Andy Lamb denies he cheated on his wife.
He claims he was helping the friend train her dog.

Alec Baldwin Almost Quit '30 Rock' Over 'Anemic' Writing
Alec Baldwin considered bowing out of hit TV comedy 30 Rock when he felt the quality of the scripts began to suffer.
The Hollywood star has played TV boss Jack Donaghy since the sitcom began in 2006, but in a new interview Baldwin admits he almost quit after season five because he wasn't happy with 30 Rock's "anemic" writing.
He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "It was a low point. Though even anemic 30 Rock writing is still better than everybody else's writing. I go, 'I'm going to get the f**k out of here, I'm done,' because I'm an employee, I don't have any say. So season five ends, and I'm saying, 'Next year, I'm done,' then I come back, and season six is really good, we all had fun."
The hour-long final episode is due to air on January 31st, and Baldwin believes show creator and star Tina Fey is ready to move on.
He says, "Tina always had her antenna up. But this year was the first time she came in and laid down on the couch on set, and you could tell, she's a mom. She's f**king wiped out."
Meanwhile, Fey is surprised 30 Rock has managed to last for seven seasons, adding, "I feel like we made a lot of good episodes of the kind of show that usually gets cancelled. The kind where there's 20 episodes and 'only me and my hipster friends know about it.' That part's still true. But we made about 140 of them!"

Lynn Senecal, 43, pleaded innocent Tuesday in Bennington criminal court to 11 felony counts of forgery and seven misdemeanor charges of using false tokens in one case. She also pleaded innocent Tuesday in the same court to a misdemeanor charge of using false tokens in a second case.
Officer David Rowland of the Bennington Police Department said in the first case that he met with a man Jan. 15 who said he used to have a relationship with Senecal. The man said that the relationship was over but Senecal was still using his credit card and writing checks against his bank account.
Rowland said there was more than $700 charged to the credit card, mostly in December, and about $2,500 in checks cashed in April and May 2013.
In the second case, Trooper Christopher Burnett of the Vermont State Police said he met with another man who said Senecal was using his bank card without permission. Burnett did not give a total but said one charge, for $89.25, was for a body piercing.
Rowland said he learned Senecal was in jail in Washington County, N.Y., in March. Rowland said Senecal told him she was being held in connection with a case involving the use of a stolen credit card but said she did not provide any more specifics.
On Tuesday, Senecal was released without bail.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) on Friday announced the finalization and release of the Blu-ray 3D specification. The specification, which represents the work of the leading Hollywood studios and consumer electronic and computer manufacturers, will enable the home entertainment industry to bring the stereoscopic 3D experience into consumers' living rooms on Blu-ray disc (BD), but will require consumers to acquire new players, high-definition TVs and shutter glasses.
"Throughout this year, movie goers have shown an overwhelming preference for 3D when presented with the option to see a theatrical release in either 3D or 2D. We believe this demand for 3D content will carry over into the home now that we have, in Blu-ray Disc, a medium that can deliver a quality Full HD 3D experience to the living room," said Victor Matsuda, chairman of BDA global promotions committee.
The specification allows every Blu-ray 3D player and movie to deliver full HD 1080p resolution (1920x1080, progressive scan) to each eye, thereby maintaining the industry leading image quality, which further distances Blu-ray from high-definition options provided by Internet-based services.
The specification is display agnostic, meaning that Blu-ray 3D products will deliver the 3D image to any compatible 3D display, regardless of whether that display uses LCD, Plasma or other technology and regardless of what 3D technology the display uses to deliver the image to the viewer's eyes. The compulsory thing for stereoscopic 3D is that those screens should support 120Hz or higher refresh rate.
The specification supports playback of 2D discs in forthcoming 3D players and can enable 2D playback of Blu-ray 3D discs on the large installed base of Blu-ray Disc players currently in homes around the world.
The Blu-ray 3D specification calls for encoding 3D video using the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) codec, an extension to the ITU-T H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) codec currently supported by all Blu-ray disc players. MPEG4-MVC compresses both left and right eye views with a typical 50% overhead compared to equivalent 2D content, according to BDA; and can provide full 1080p resolution backward compatibility with current 2D Blu-ray disc players. The specification also incorporates enhanced graphic features for 3D. These features provide a new experience for users, enabling navigation using 3D graphic menus and displaying 3D subtitles positioned in 3D video.
What is important, the BDA has not announced any actual stereoscopic 3D-capable BD players. Nevertheless, the BDA stressed that Sony PlayStation 3 is stereo 3D-compatible with a simple update of its firmware.
"In 2009 we saw Blu-ray firmly establish itself as the most rapidly adopted packaged media format ever introduced. We think the broad and rapid acceptance Blu-ray Disc already enjoys with consumers will be a factor in accelerating the uptake of 3D in the home. In the meantime, existing players and libraries can continue to be fully enjoyed as consumers consider extending into 3D home entertainment," added Mr. Matsuda.

|It's Hawt Out There!

With the summer months soon upon us, it is important to know how to keep your cat safe during hot weather. Cats can suffer from dehydration and heatstroke just as humans and other mammals can in scorching temperatures.
The following list of essential hot weather pet safety tips will help you keep your cat safe during the summer months:
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number One: Make sure that your indoor cat has proper cool fresh air ventilation. Use a sturdy fan, ceiling fan, open screened window(s), or an air conditioner - especially in severely hot temperatures. While cats are not particularly fond of cold air, an air conditioned room is essential during scorching weather to keep your pet cool and safe.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Two: Make sure that all window screens in your home are secure and tear-free. Cats love to lounge in the window sills of open windows so it is crucial to have sturdy window screens that are free of holes and tears.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Three: Make sure that you provide your cat with fresh clean cool water throughout the day. Cats can become dehydrated and need twenty four hour access to water. Whether at home or traveling, make certain that your cat has access to clean cool water!
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Four: Slip ice cubes into your cat's drinking water throughout the day. This will help keep the water cool and drinkable.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Five: Provide multiple bowls of drinking water for your cat throughout the house. This will ensure that kitty gets enough fluid during hot weather.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Six: Use only stationery water bowls. This will keep your cat or other pet/child/person in your home from knocking over your cat's water supply. You can find stationery water bowls (also sometimes called "spill-free" bowls) at most pet stores and super department stores that have a pet needs section.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Seven: Do not let your cat's wet food linger too long during the hot summer season as it will quickly degrade and spoil. You can leave the dry food out; but, do pick up the wet food after feeding time and replace it with fresh food during the next meal.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Eight: Never leave your cat alone while you go away for a few days! One would think that I would not even have to list such a thing; yet, pets die needlessly every year because of such selfishness and neglect. If you are going away, make sure that you have a responsible person in charge of your pet's care. If a trusted friend or relative is unavailable, hire a local professional pet sitter. Always meet the person first before hiring and ask to see at least three recent references. Once the person is selected, stock up on all of your pet's needs, (foods, treats, toys, etc.) leave your pet's needs in writing, and go over your instructions with the sitter before leaving. Also include the number where you will be staying, your cell phone number, (if applicable) and your vet's number in the event of an emergency.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Nine: Do not let your cat outdoors during a heat wave! Even though cats enjoy warm weather, letting your cat outside during a heat wave could be a fatal mistake. Keep kitty indoors until the heat wave passes. If your cat is used to pooping outside, you will have to set up a litter box in a familiar place for kitty. Make sure that he or she knows where it is (place kitty by it) and clean it at least twice a day.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Ten: Never leave your cat in a hot car! Again, this is common sense; but...pets die every year from heatstroke because of this neglectful act. If you are traveling alone with your cat, bring a cat taxi and take kitty inside with you when you stop. If you are traveling with more than one person, take turns using the restroom and always make sure that the person who stays behind provides proper air ventilation and cooling in the automobile for your cat.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Eleven: Make sure that your cat has a shady spot in your home to relax in. Cats seem to love sunny rooms; but, in a heat wave, they will need a place to comfortably retreat to when the heat becomes dangerous.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Twelve: Do not over-exercise your cat during hot weather! Cats can become dehydrated and could suffer heatstroke. Over-exercising a cat in hot weather could make it vomit - which can cause dehydration. Save the exertion for cooler times.
Hot Weather Cat Safety Tip Number Thirteen: Keep your cat out of hot rooms that do not have proper air ventilation and cooling. For example, if your cat normally has run of your house and you have a room that is uncomfortably/dangerously hot, close the door to keep your cat out of that room so he or she does not become overheated.
I must add that if at any time you think that your cat has heatstroke, rush him or her to the nearest veterinary hospital as soon as possible. Signs of heatstroke are usually anxious behavior, panting, rapid heartbeat, warm and dry feeling skin, and sometimes vomiting.
Having a cat in your life is a precious gift. Be grateful and show your appreciation by behaving as a humane and responsible pet owner year-round. Keep your pets safe and have a great summer!

Funds Restored Officials should examine use of monies
More than $1 million for programs to combat child abuse and domestic violence as well as to assist young children in West Virginia has been restored to the state budget. Good – and good for legislators' method of finding the money.
But now, lawmakers and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin should be taking a hard, objective look at such programs. How much good are they doing? Could the money be put to better use?
Among line-item vetoes Tomblin exercised in approving the state budget was one cutting about $1 million from social programs. Among them were initiatives mentioned above.
Later, Tomblin restored $260,000 for the programs, but advocates for them wanted the entire amount originally budgeted by the Legislature. A coalition of groups, Our Children, Our Future, mobilized to campaign for the move.
During a special session of the Legislature this week, lawmakers agreed to restore $1.06 million for the programs.
Their method of doing so certainly was praiseworthy. Recognizing, as did Tomblin, that money for state government is scarce, legislators in effect "found" a means of supplementing the budget. The $1.06 million will be taken from state support for horse and dog racing.
Tomblin's line-item veto clearly was not a good idea. Victims of child abuse and domestic violence need all the help they can get. Simply taking an ax to funding for programs meant to help them was imprudent.
But too often, legislators and the public are preoccupied with worthy causes, not the effects of doling out money to agencies and organizations espousing them. Of course it is important to help victims of child abuse and domestic violence. But is the money we spend on that doing as much good as possible? Or are we measuring our good deeds by how much money we spend rather than how many victims are helped and how many cases of child abuse and domestic violence are prevented?
Again, legislators were right to restore the $1 million in funding. Now they and Tomblin should determine whether that money and millions more spent on social programs is being used effectively.
