OK, yeah, you're right. I *had tried this before and forgot what the results were. I thought I had pulled an end run around something by telling the system I was in I&A but still at post 149 and responding to that. Somewhere along that road I got an error message telling me I had my Java on upside down, or something like that.

So that's what happened, tsuwm, when I tried to post a follow-up about Neanderthal on that Loanwords From German thread (this was a couple of months ago)...it kept accepting the post and appearing nowhere! I finally gave up looking for it!
I have an emachines computer, and I had no trouble accessing this thread once the "Re:'s" started showing up. I know this'll sound dumb to all you computer geniuses, but since you say only Macs could access this post, is my computer doing something out of the ordinary here, displaying super-human traits as it were?

Barry Skurkis, associate professor of art, is one of three dozen artists showcasing their art in an exhibit titled "In Bloom" at the gardens and fountains at Oakbrook Center. Some 30 fiberglass sculptures and 11 fine art sculptures decorated by artists or artist groups will be on display through Sept. 20 as part of a good cause and fundraising effort. Of the three blank fiberglass forms—a frog leaping from a lily pad, a morning glory-shaped bench and a hibiscus-inspired birdbath—Skurkis chose to decorate the bench sculpture, which is sponsored by United Auto Insurance Company. Titled "Spring Ahead," his piece places butterflies, bumblebees, ladybugs and other charmers in motion along a trailing morning glory.
A member of North Central's faculty since 1982, Skurkis holds an M.A. from the University of Notre Dame and is a former president of the Chicago Society of Artists.
After the "In Bloom" exhibit closes, the pieces will be sold at auction on Sept. 24 to benefit HCS Family Services, which helps people achieve self-sufficiency through personalized guidance and support, education and career development, family strengthening and practical support for immediate needs.

National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one
of the country's leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to
parents on a broad range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens.
There is nothing that strikes more fear into a new parent than the thought of being unable to wake their infant. But unfortunately, for more than 2,000 parents every year this is exactly what happens when their baby succumbs to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
While SIDS is still unpreventable and unpredictable, the introduction of the Back To Sleep Campaign has decreased the number of cases by 50 percent. And now, researchers are coming closer to understanding SIDS. Below are a few facts so that parents have a better understanding of the latest information:
Closer to a cause? In 2006, research conducted by Children's Hospital in Boston provided the strongest evidence yet that sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is not a "mystery" disease, but has a concrete biological basis. Their evidence suggests that a significant number of SIDS babies have a brain disorder. The abnormalities identified in this study suggest that there is a problem in the development of the brain that occurs in utero and after birth as well. The abnormalities identified as part of this study appear to affect the brainstem's ability to use and recycle serotonin, a brain chemical which plays a role in communications between brain cells. Serotonin is most well known for its role in regulating mood, but it also plays a role in regulating vital functions like breathing, heart rate, temperature, blood pressure and arousal. While the SIDS cases contained more serotonin using neurons, they appeared to contain fewer receptors for serotonin than did the control cases. The researchers also found that male SIDS infants had fewer serotonin receptors than did either female SIDS infants or control infants. The finding may provide insight into why SIDS affects roughly twice as many males as females. While this is encouraging news, the next step is to develop a diagnostic tool and drugs which will help those babies identified as high risk to get through the first six months of life.
Triple Risk Theory Researchers have determined that along with this underlying physical cause, other elements need to be in place for SIDS to occur. One of them is timing. In a majority of cases, SIDS happens during a critical development period, which is the first six months of life where the baby is growing and developing very rapidly. This rapid growth can make a baby's system become unstable. The other element involves external stressors (outside or environmental challenges) which a normal baby can easily overcome and survive, but that an already vulnerable baby night not. Stressors such as exposure to second-hand smoke, tummy sleeping or an upper respiratory infection alone do not cause death for healthy infants, but could trigger a sudden, unexpected death in a vulnerable infant.
It's crucial that all caregivers consistently enforce SIDS risk reduction measures around your baby. These include:
Always placing your baby on his/her back to sleep. But allow for plenty of tummy time when awake!
Allowing your baby to only sleep in a safety-approved crib with a firm, tight fitting mattress covered with only a sheet
Removing all soft, fluffy or loose bedding and toys (including blankets, soft or fluffy bumpers and positioners)
Replacing blankets with sleep sacks or wearable blankets
Establishing a safe sleeping area within your room instead of in your bed
Never over-bundling your baby and keeping the room temperature between 68 - 72 F

Go to a credible source
I would like to comment about a site on Facebook called Gunsense of Vermont. It was recommended to me from a friend, for they knew my family owned and operated a gun store here in Vermont for many years. They knew I know about state and federal gun laws.
I went to this site and was absolutely appalled at the misinformation being put out; whoever these people are that are running this Facebook site do not have an education whatsoever on current state and federal gun laws.
They actually told people that anyone can purchase a gun through the mail via the Internet. Every FFL dealer in the United States knows this is false. They also are recommending laws that are already in place. The amount of misinformation they have posted really bothers me. I proceeded to explain current gun laws and was deleted from their site. So, folks, beware if you go onto this site, because you will be fed only what they want you to hear and not necessarily the truth.
If you have questions or concerns on gun laws, approach a licensed dealer and ask them. Do not get your information from a Facebook site.

Explore the beautiful nature on Oahu, the third largest Hawaiian Island, on the back of a horse. Riders take different trails beneath the cliffs and overlooking the ocean. This ranch is well known as a good film set. Also Jurassic Park was shot there partly. One hour tours up to full day trips are available and also a special kid's tour is offered.
The Honokalani Black Sand Beach is located in the Wainapanapa State Park on Maui Island. This large beach is set among lava cliffs and the sand is actually small, smooth, lava pebbles. A small sea arch, sea caves, and seaside lava tubes are located in the beach area. King's Highway, an ancient Hawaiian footpath, leads from the beach area along the coastline for 3 miles to the town of Hana.
Seven Sacred Pools
The series of waterfalls and called Seven Sacred Pools is part of the Haleakala National Park system near Hana, Maui. Despite the name, there are much more than seven waterfalls and pools.This is a natural playground for locals and tourists alike. Cliff jumping, bridge jumping, swimming, and hiking comprise some of the outdoor activities that visitors enjoy.
The future President spent nearly all his early life on the Island of Oahu. Tour the beautiful island by tracing down the footsteps of president-elect Barrack Obama. You see all the places, which might have made him the man he is today. His school, the places he lived, where he used to spend time or where his first job was. Guided tours are $40 per person.
This place, located at the foot of the spectacular 1600-foot high sea cliffs on Kalauapapa Peninsula was an isolated settlement for victims of leprosy from 1866 until 1969. When the disease stroke Hawaii in the late 1800s, there was no knowledge about how it was transmitted, no effective treatment and no cure. To government officials, isolation seemed the only answer. The park was established in 1980 and is dedicated to preserving the memories of the past as a valuable lesson. Today the park can only be visited by authorized tour groups and all visitors must be 16 or older and receive a permit to enter.

It's Monday again, pretty people!! How was your weekend? Did you get in some much needed sleep? Check out "Lakeview Terrace" with my God-daddy Samuel L. Jackson? Hit up a hot club? Visit your favorite restaurant? Well, I hope that whatever you did was wonderful because we are back to another looooong week.
This mascara is reader requested and I was excited to test and review it around this time since this line is fairly new to Target.
Price: 3 out of 5 (ohmigooodness, $15?! Yikes!)
Packaging (Brush Wand): 5 out of 5
Overall: 3 out of 5
What it claims: "Make way for the runway. A mascara that thickens, lengthens and curls lashes with professional results."
The truth: It's definitely not the BEST mascara that I've ever used….but then it isn't the worst either.
What I loved about it: The wand is pretty coolio. I mean, granted it is you average and ordinary wand but I always love wands like these—they do a fantastic job at covering each lash with ease.
What I didn't like: It didn't really do anything for me. I mean…at all.
Overall: Well, I don't know. For a $15 mascara I really expected more. I have defintely had better results with Maybelline, L'Oreal and other cosmetic company mascaras that retail for cheaper prices. I did not experience any clumping and flaking and that is always a plus but it was just such a "blah" mascara. I wanted some POW….BAM…..a WOW factor, or something. A sista got nothing and that was a little disheartening. The good news is Napoleon Perdis has a ton of other mascaras that I would be inclined to try if the price wasn't so steep.
Would I recommend it: I would not. I can't think of any situation in which I would re-purchase (or even use the current tube I have) this mascara.
Didn't get around to doing a video for this baby due to my travels this weekend….but tell me what you think. Target, apparently is adding some "higher-end" brands to their cosmetics department. I don't really know who the target (haha) consumers are considering most folx I know only purchase relatively cheap buys from Target stores and this line is anything BUT that. Check out the website for yourself.
Nevertheless, I urge you chicas to check out this and other new lines as your nearest Target. It's rather interesting to see such a higher-end brand display at Target. It really does seem like something that should be at Sephora, Ulta or a department store. Has anyone seen this at their Target? Or tried any of Napoleon Perdis' other products?
Let me knowww!! And enjoy your Monday and upcoming week, beautiful people!

Traditional Chinese Medicine for Infertility
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dates back approximately 5,000 years and has been used to treat infertility and miscarriage as early as 200 A.D. Using a combination of acupuncture, herbs, massage, diet, and exercise, TCM treats the root causes of a condition, balances disharmonies, and alleviates a patient's symptoms. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently acknowledged the ability of TCM to facilitate healing in many diseases, and nearly one quarter of the world's population still turns to TCM for their primary health care.
TCM stems from ancient Taoist philosophy which views a person as an energy system in which mind and body are deeply connected, each influencing and balancing the other. An individual's emotional experiences, eating habits, work habits, work and living environment, personal habits, and social environment are all factors that contribute to overall health or illness. The belief is based on the concept of yin and yang - opposing energies, such as earth and heaven, winter and summer, and happiness and sadness. When yin and yang are in balance, you feel relaxed and energized; but they can negatively affect your health when out of balance.
Practitioners also believe that there is a life force or energy in every body, known as qi (pronounced "chee"). In order for yin and yang to be balanced and for the body to be healthy, qi must be balanced and flowing freely through energy pathways in your body called meridians. When there's too little or too much qi in one of the meridians, or when the flow of qi is blocked, you become ill.
According to TCM, the inability to conceive does not necessarily imply infertility; it simply means an imbalance in one's optimum reproductive health. Traditional Chinese practitioners believe reproductive imbalance is caused by one or more of the following syndromes:
After a TCM practitioner diagnoses a pattern of disharmony, treatments for fertility generally involve weekly acupuncture appointments and daily consumption of an herbal formula. Diet modifications, exercise, and massage may also be recommended.

Those who fish need to know what they're doing.
Wendel Sloan, director of communications at Eastern New Mexico University, told me about a website — www.takemefishing.org — that covers many different details about fishing and boating.
It has a list of places by state where you can go fishing and get a fishing license. This is helpful if you like to travel to Colorado, California or Wyoming to do some fishing because it is always good to know another state's rules and regulations about fishing.
Also, people can register their boats, see tips on buying or selling a boat and safety tips.
The most interesting thing about the site was Fishopedia. It gives tips on how to fish, tie knots and prepare a catch. It also offers tips on what lures, rigs and tackle to use and where.
The site informs about how to identify a fish and where to find certain kinds of fish.

December 11, 2013 —
LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The Livingston Manor Chamber of Commerce presents "Trains on Main," pulling into Livingston Manor for its sixth year. There will be handmade model trains on view in windows up and down Main Street. "Trains on Main" will be on display at the CAS Arts Center, Morgan Outdoors and other businesses around Livingston Manor through December 31.
The local tradition will feature models and historic artifacts collected by Charles Irace and Charlie Sanborn. New this year, the CAS Arts Center will spotlight an O&W Room, including 37 signal lanterns from the turn of the last century. All the historical pieces were collected from antique shops and eBay from collectors all around the area. Most of them are from the turn of the 20th century, and some are as old as the late 1800s.
CAS will also host its annual Holiday Bazaar for three weekends from December 7 through December 22, featuring wares from local art and craft vendors. For more information, visit www.catskillartsociety.org [1].

All About Yigal
Armed with an unpolished aesthetic and a serious knack for draping, Yigal Azrouël is carving his own niche.
On Yigal Azrouël's desk in his seventh-floor studio above New York's West 39th Street sit a few knickknacks: a pair of beaten-up wooden bowling pins; a scuffed dumbbell; a shoe last the color of sand with cracks running up the heel. "I find things I like and keep them around," the Israeli-born Azrouël says in his typically clipped way. His English, though quite good, is heavily accented, which may be why he's inclined to speak in a succinct, almost blunt manner. Dressed in a gray T-shirt and dark jeans, Azrouël motions to the pieces, less objets d'art than flea market finds, and shrugs: "It's not too perfect, you know? I like that."
Perfection, it turns out, has never been Azrouël's intent, something one might sense upon looking at the clothes he designs. His are of the distressed-glamour ilk, from raw-edged, loose-fitting dresses to snug, battered jackets. Necklines are often unfinished and seams exposed, while colors tend to veer into of-the-earth territory (mossy green, putty brown, slate and charcoal). His aversion to flawlessness is evident elsewhere, too: Though his appeal has seemed limited at times to a certain urban (read: thin) sophisticate, Azrouël fits every piece he produces in American sizes two through 12—a rarity in fashion. And while most male designers profess to "love women," that sentiment rings closer to home for Azrouël, given that his five older sisters and mother, all of whom wear his clothes, span in age from 40 to 75. Pointing out the coltish to curvy range of mannequins in one corner of his studio, Azrouël sighs. "Women work so hard to look good, you know? So I want to work on proportion and length," he says. "My vision is not about fantasy; it's about reality. I design for women, and I have my eyes on what I want you to look like."
It's a look, in fact, that Azrouël, 36, has been honing since long before he arrived in the United States 12 years ago. The youngest of eight children (the girls, plus twin boys) raised by a sneaker importer and a housewife in the port city of Ashdod, Azrouël recalls a youth spent on the water, surfing and lounging at the beach. Though not the sort to hurry home with a stash of fashion magazines peeking out from under his algebra homework, he did develop a taste for clothes early on. "I would always go shopping with my sisters, get taken to give my opinion on what they were wearing," he says. Then, as all Israeli citizens are required to do, Azrouël joined the military at age 18 and served in the army for three years. It was a period during which he ruminated on what he might do with the rest of his life and how that thing might get him "out in the world" (surfing, he realized, would not be his meal ticket). There weren't many options, but there was family: Once discharged, Azrouël booked a flight to Washington, D. C., to bunk there with one of his sisters, her husband and her husband's mother. "A bit bored," Azrouël began spending time with the mother-in-law, who just happened to have a sewing machine. He bought jersey fabric ("It was cheap"), and she taught him how to make things. Fortunately, he says, "she was very patient." Some dresses, some blouses—basic fare, Azrouël is quick to point out—and he was hooked. Off to New York he went, and that's where things got tricky for a bit.
"I couldn't afford to go to design school, and no one would hire me because I had no papers," Azrouël says, shaking his head at the memory. Of course, he also had no experience or formal training. Squeezed with four friends into a cramped basement apartment in Queens, Azrouël would escape to the Garment District, where he rented a 300-square-foot studio. Scooping up black matte jersey from fabric stores—again, it was cheap—he went to work on his initial designs, which were draped dresses with wide armholes, fitted at the hips. Yet his sewing still wasn't quite up to par. Early one morning, on the corner of 38th Street and Eighth Avenue, just a stone's throw from his current studio, Azrouël met a woman who was looking for work as a seamstress. He motions back to his sewing room, where, at 7:30 on a recent cold winter evening, his entire factory staff, now numbering 22, is unfurling fabric rolls and clucking over draft boards. "Carolina is still back there," Azrouël says, laughing. "They're all my family."
The transition from that little studio, from which he churned out a 12-piece lineup consisting entirely of black matte jersey dresses (he sold the collection to Fred Segal), has been calculated and steady; Azrouël is uninterested in trends or, worse, flash-in-the-pan status. He now has two retail stores, in the Meatpacking District and East Hampton; a men's wear line; and a brisk accessories business (he is rarely without a wrapped scarf—not the ascot type—and he designs several styles each season, explaining that "both boys and girls like them"). Using funds from the sales of his first collection, Azrouël held an ambitious, exhausting 80-look show in 2000, adding chiffons and cotton voiles to his repertoire, silk dresses in burn-out prints, and those distressed, practically lived-in leather jackets (best-sellers, he's quick to note). But when asked to describe his design philosophy—given that he never took needle to thread at any of those fancy fashion schools—Azrouël leans forward. "Not having training made me stronger," he says, almost conspiratorially. "I think you really have to do something with your life. I just really believe in myself."
The answer speaks to Azrouël's unrelenting drive—the Queens days behind him, "I have a nice loft in Chelsea now," he says—but neglects one very important sleight of hand: He is a born draper. He uses mannequins for every piece he designs, often leaving a swath of silk or jersey on a form for several days, circling and examining it before deciding on a specific pleat or zipper placement. "It is a big part of how I work," Azrouël remarks. "I like to have surprises. I am always touching the dress or shirt, seeing how it works in a couple of shapes."
That relaxed approach—informed, no doubt, by a lack of self-consciousness about his pedigree—lends Azrouël's clothes their distinct aesthetic. "What sets Yigal apart from other designers is that he stays true to his roots," says Jennifer Wheeler, vice president of women's designer apparel at Nordstrom, who adds that the store's Southern customers, in particular, are Azrouël fans. "He knows what works for his collection and his customers, and he builds on that each season."
About three years ago, Azrouël director Donata Minelli Yirmiyahu says, the designer became frustrated with his first fabric crush. "Jersey was getting monotonous," Yirmiyahu explains. "We said, 'Yigal, you own this business, do what you love.'" Out came filmy knits and jaunty cropped trousers, true sportswear that buyers and critics alike lauded for its layered, laid-back vibe. There were, of course, a few of those liquid jersey columns tossed in—who was Azrouël to mess with a tried-and-true technique?—yet the unpolished cool of the collection renewed his confidence. "I realized that you can keep experimenting, keep challenging and be successful," says Azrouël. "But I have a very naive way of looking at things."

I read a story in a Seattle newspaper written by an articulate senior in high school. She wrote she and some friends were wondering what to do on a Friday night when one of the group got a text inviting them to another friend's house to "watch a movie."
Upon arrival, there were significantly more kids there than expected, no parents, and the first question was, "wanna beer?" She said there were a lot of kids and a lot of red cups. She and her friends declined the beer, stayed briefly and headed home.
She explained it was a rainy night, and she had to drop off two of her friends in a nearby suburb. As she came off the expressway entrance ramp and began picking up speed, she saw, from the corner of her eye, movement on the road ahead.
She immediately began to slow and pull over. The figure, she said, was a woman who appeared to have fallen partly in the road. Her friends called the police while our young friend helped the woman off the road.
They waited until the police and an ambulance arrived. While they waited, she noticed how many of the other cars sped down the ramp and onto the expressway without slowing. She said she could only think that if she had made the choice to have the beer or two (or more), she might not have had the reflexes necessary to make the stop and avoid the woman.
Even if she hadn't hit her, she might not have bothered to stop, thinking she might get in trouble, and some harm might have come to the woman.
Her conclusion was her actions went far beyond just her. Her decision to decline the alcohol not only affected her but her friends, the woman in the road and ultimately the community. She has been asked to speak to the city council and help with a campaign in her area to reduce teen drinking.
I don't think we hear enough about young people who are responsible, making good choices and giving back to the community.

En español | Nobody goes to bed skinny and wakes up 50 pounds heavier. Most of us gain weight by eating only 100 to 200 extra calories a day, says James O. Hill, Ph.D., professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The trick is to make subtle changes in our environment — changes that cut out those 100 to 200 calories a day — so we gradually alter our eating habits and lose weight. After all, the best diet is the one you don't know you're on.
Try these simple tips:
1. Include a fruit and a vegetable with your lunch and dinner.
2. Don't eat white foods at dinner.
3. Use the half-plate rule (fill half your plate with veggies.)
4. Have a sweet or salty afternoon snack only if you first eat a piece of fresh fruit.
5. Drink one glass of water before every meal or snack.
6. Use the Restaurant Rule of Two: Limit yourself to two items other than your entrée.
7. Never eat in front of the TV.
8. Eat a piece of fruit on the way to work every day.
9. Save desserts for weekends.
10. Freeze half of what you make, and serve the other half.

- Author(s)
- Mandasari, Vivi; Lu, Mariene Valerie; Theng, Lau Bee
- Abstract
- Asperger Syndrome is a developmental disorder under the umbrella term of Autism Spectrum Disorders, and it is a milder variant of autism. It is characterized by a significant difficulty in communication, prominently in social interaction and non-verbal communication. Since a decade ago, there have been a variety of tools for teaching and assisting children with AS in the acquisition of social skills, ranging from the simple picture exchange system to the high-end virtual reality system. This chapter discusses on the effectiveness of integrating Social Story, 2D animations and video instruction for teaching social skills to children diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome in an interactive manner. The prototype has been developed, implemented, and evaluated in an experimental way. This chapter will discuss on the evaluation process, results, findings, and areas for further exploration.

Padres Sign Catcher
The Padres were going to get catcher Brad Ausmus. But they hemmed and hawed and talked abut signing him for a few months. Then Ausmus finally got tired of waiting for the Padres, so he signed with the Dodgers. Too bad for the Padres. Almost instantly, we signed this dude, Henry Blanco. He played with the Cubs last year, hitting .291 in 58 games. He's been playing in the majors for 11 years.
He was signed for the main purpose of being a mentor to rookie Nick Hundley. He will also spell Nick every once in a while. Apparently, the Padres GM called up Greg Maddux and asked who would be a good mentor and a good clubhouse guy. Blanco was one of them, I guess. He signed for $750,000.
Now, I know I shouldn't judge by appearance, but this guy is kind of freaky. He's got tattoos all over his arms, and he is not that attractive. He is 37, after all. I guess as long as he does extremely well for us, it doesn't really matter how he looks. I just hope he stays healthy, that the pitchers like him, and that he is a really good mentor to Nick. I hope he can do well for us.
Now, is it Spring Training yet? Well, not quite, but it's coming up soon. I'm starting to get really excited about this season. I can't wait to see what the Padres are able to do. Oh, and it looks like we will definitely be able to keep Jake. That's pretty exciting! Anyways, baseball is coming!

Kaybee – The Padres aren't the only team with catching issues. I think the Red Sox are going to go into Spring Training without a starting catcher! Ugh!!
He may look freaky with all the tattoos, but if he performs well on the field you'll be his biggest fan, right?
From what I remember about Blanco, he's a good catcher. Some Sox fans wanted us to get him as our backup to AJ. Definitely a good clubhouse guy. Good pickup for the Padres.
JULIA, no starting catchers? Yeah, I guess Bardo isn't much of starting catcher. But maybe you guys will still be able to get Tek!
JANE, well, maybe not his BIGGEST fan, but I certainly will be glad he's on the team!
JEN, I really hope he does well for us. Just as long as he stays healthy…
Good to have this guy as a mentor… his stats might dip a little if he plays more games, but not by too much.
And sure he's not attractive, but he does wear a mask half the game. Did you know AJ Burnett has tons of tattoos also? I wonder how the Yankees will take that.
And congrats on keeping Peavy! That's great news!!
Kaybee – Although my blog has nothing to dow ith the Cubs, I am a huge fan of the team. Here's the rundown on what you need to know about Blanco. He had a good year last year with the stick, but that is not his forte. Very well known for his defense (gamecalling and his arm), and I am 100% in the belief that he is the reason that Geovany Soto had an excellent year behind the plate last year. Personally, I am disgusted the cubs are trying to get a guy like Paul Bako, as opposed to keeping Blanco for less than a million dollars. He can only make the pitchers even better (even with a stadium like Petco absorbing and would be home runs!). have a great day.
Blanco does exactly what you want him to do. He helped Soto with the Cubs last year and the Cubs will miss him dearly.

Ladders damage cars on Interstate 89April 28,2013Vehicles damaged
by ladders on I-89
SHARON — Extension ladders that somehow ended up in the middle of the Interstate 89 northbound lane Friday afternoon damaged two vehicles but caused no injuries, according to Vermont State Police.
Police were called to a section of the divided highway near mile marker 15 just before 5:30 p.m. after two vehicles struck the ladders.
Police didn't say how the items came to be in the roadway, but indicated it may have been unintentional.
While the damage to the two cars was minimal, police said reminded motorists that failing to properly secure items while driving on public highways could result in a ticket and fine of up to $1,191.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Chase

Bankers banned from using BlackBerrys on holiday
Banks are increasing their crackdown on staff using work mobiles and email on holiday. It's partly to prevent banker burnout and partly because compliance departments think illicit activity is more likely to come to light if the staff member isn't around to cover it up.
Most banks now force many staff to take extended periods of leave, although guidelines on out-of-office working vary. At Barclays, staff are able to read emails while away, but are barred from receiving or responding to calls. At Deutsche Bank, staff may monitor emails but are not allowed to conduct business or influence transactions via email.
A corporate client of another bank said last week that he had received a call explaining why a junior banker working on a deal for the company was out of reach. The reason: he was on holiday and was not allowed to use his phone.

When it comes to unique family vacations nothing is more exciting than an African safari and capturing glimpses of large game animals in their natural habitat. Taking the kids to Masai Mara is a great way to let them see the "big five", lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo. If you're lucky you may even catch a glimpse of the million plus annual wildebeest migration that thunders through the rolling grasslands. Just make sure all the family's passports are in order and remember there are passports for children as well as infant passport services when it comes to getting a passport. Once taken care of a trip to Masai Mara is just a flight away.
Passports are essential documents when it comes to international travel. All US citizens must have a travel permit when entering a foreign country or attempting to re-enter the US. This includes children and infants. Although they used to be to be on their parents passport, this is no longer the case which is way even an infant passport is needed for the youngest of children. Now with the internet and passport agencies it is must easier to obtain passports of children than in the past. As long as all proper documents are gathered the passport process should be a cinch.
Masai Mara National Reserve
The Masai Mara National Reserve is a large game reserve located in south-western Kenya. It is also the northern continuation of the Serengeti National park located in Tanzania. The name comes from the Maasai people whom were the traditional peoples of the area. The reserve is infamous for its awesome population of Big Cats, game, as well as the annual migration of wildebeest, gazelles, and Zebras. This migration occurs from July to October from the Serengeti. It is so immense and strong that it is called the Great Migration. The Masai Mara began in 1948 as a sanctuary for wildlife. In 1961 it was converted into a game reserve. Up until 1984 the reserve had lost some ground coverage due to land being given back to communities and park reduction size.
Visiting Masai Mara
When visiting Masai Mara the main activity is game viewing. There are drives every time of the day over several days. This allows for the most animals to be seen. These animals include, lions, leopards, zebras, elephants, gazelles, rhinos, hyenas, hippos, and depending on the time of year even the wildebeests that migrate. In addition to game viewing you can also venture to the nearby village of Oloolaimutiek. A visit there will broaden your cultural horizons as you see their way of life and get a glimpse of their culture. If you get sick of driving you can also go on a hot air balloon safari early, this allows for you to view the sun rising above the wildlife as well as the picturesque landscape. In addition many lodges and camps also offer massages and spa and wellness treatments so that your body can relax after a bumpy safari road ride.
A safari on the Masai Mara National Game Preserve is an experience of a lifetime and a great family vacation. The Great Migration is a must see spectacular event so try to plan it around then. Make sure all the family's passports are ready and remember that if your child had an infant passport, it's only valid for five years, so you may need to apply for a new children's passport. Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

- Advances in natural medicines, nutraceuticals and neurocognition
- Author(s)
- Stough, Con; Scholey, Andrew
- Abstract
- More than half of those who see a general practitioner are taking some sort of natural medicine supplement, but little is known about the neurocognitive effects of these substances. This book examines whether natural and herbal medicines, vitamins, and supplements improve human cognition and/or brain processes in the healthy young and elderly and in disorders of cognition such as Alzheimer's Dementia. Addressing a broad scope that includes different classes of supplements as well as different demographic groups, contributors provide a scientific focus and describe recent research as well as what is currently known about specific supplements and intelligence, memory, cognition and brain functioning.

Well, the stateŌĆÖs beefed up Rules Review Commission (RRC) is set to begin. In keeping with North CarolinaŌĆÖs new political leadershipŌĆÖs ideology of openness, the commission has scheduled a public meeting so the average working stiff can attend and listen or comment. The meeting is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Thursday (Jan. 16) at the Office of Administrative Hearings on New Hope Church Road in Raleigh.
Now the Rules Review Commission is not a new entity. It has been around since 1986. It was created with the intent and purpose of determining if proposed new rules were authorized by law and if they were clear and necessary. But now, thanks to the Regulatory Reform Act, the new ŌĆ£beefed upŌĆØ RRC is also the final arbiter, determining if a rule is needed or if it should be abolished.
I should point out here that by ŌĆ£rules,ŌĆØ IŌĆÖm not talking about ŌĆ£no running in the halls,ŌĆØ or ŌĆ£keep right except to pass.ŌĆØ No, according to Kirk Ross in Coastal Review Online (Jan. 10) ŌĆ£ŌĆ" in the parlance of government the word [rules] describes exactly how something mandated by law is accomplished. Rules lay down the definitions, requirements and procedures both for government agencies and anyone who wants or needs to interact with them.ŌĆØ
So in todayŌĆÖs North Carolina, any business, government agency, government official, environmental organization and/or private citizen that proposed or undertook any endeavor that would impact surface water and or wetlands would be bound by the rules that are currently in place. What happens if those rules were repealed or abolished?
ItŌĆÖs pretty easy to see that members of a rules commission like the RRC ŌĆö the ultimate arbiters with regards to the stateŌĆÖs drinking water, stormwater runoff, river and/or stream classification and buffer requirements, among other things ŌĆö should be publicly vetted and selected based on their expertise, knowledge and abilities. North Carolina achieves this by having its RRC appointed by the legislature.
ItŌĆÖs probably a good thing that the RRC is going to work right away. According to RossŌĆÖ piece, ŌĆ£The N.C. Division of Water Resources on Wednesday presented the state Environmental Management Commission, or EMC, which devises environmental rules, with a list of 375 surface water and wetland rules that it says will need to go back through the re-adoption process.ŌĆØ
Ross also quotes Grady McCallie, policy director at the North Carolina Conservation Network, as stating that, ŌĆ£The EMC has roughly 2,000 rules to consider. Hundreds more are under the purview of other DENR-related entities such as the Coastal Management and Mining and Energy commissions.ŌĆØ
Also, according to Ross, NC DENR officials estimate that the review of these rules will take until 2018. And what happens if any of these rules donŌĆÖt make it through the review process? They automatically expire.
I suggest you check out RossŌĆÖ piece at www.nccoast.org/article.aspx?k=92d3e742-5cac-4768-b010-83d367bfa4b2.
And also an earlier posting at the SmithEnvironment blog www.smithenvironment.com/environmental-policy-in-n-c-looking-back-at-2013-and-forward-to-2014.
During this RRC process there will be opportunities for public comment, and RossŌĆÖ piece helps explain how this should play out. But remember, these rules ŌĆö many in place for years ŌĆö can be reversed or abolished simply by fiat of the General Assembly, and the most binding public comment in that regard is your vote. Mid-terms are coming up, and if you donŌĆÖt like the direction things are going, go to your polling place and make a public comment ŌĆö just remember to bring your driverŌĆÖs license and be prepared to stand in line.

Portions of Lewers Street in Waikiki were closed Wednesday night because of a giant reptile.
"Godzilla" was back in town for the motion picture's final night of production and shooting a movie on a busy street is no easy task. Even before the cameras started rolling, hundreds of locals and tourists couldn't resist a closer look.
"Very interesting," said Lance Hookano, a local resident hired by "Godzilla" to help set up the scene. "I've never seen this before in my life. This is unreal."
When asked why she's spending her time on a street instead of a beach, Jiandan Zheng, of China said, "Because we can see the other day. This is something like once in (a) lifetime, right?"
And once in a lifetime exposure for Hawaii, especially the dozens of businesses along Lewers. A street chosen because of its brightness and architecture, according to Mike Fantasia, the movie's location manager.
"Everybody's been very cooperative," Fantasia said. "We signed location agreements with about 50 business owners and business managers. Everybody's been fantastic. The city has been great. The department of transportation, police, fire, everybody's been fantastic in trying to make this happen."
KITV4 News has learned that the scene will be of hundreds of people running away from a tsunami generated by "something" in the ocean and that the movie will focus on a bunch of characters that run into The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, which "Godzilla" officials compensated to shut down after midday.
"As a local company, we'll do whatever we can to support jobs in our community," said Roger Wall, vice chairman of Sullivan Family Companies, which manages The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Hawaii. "But we're also thrilled that The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, which is a global brand, will be showcased in an exciting film like this."
A film that hopefully runs things to an exciting future for film and television production in Hawaii.
"We've got the right combination," Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie said. "I think our new film credit, we've added another 5 percent to it, I think is an attractive feature."
About 20 percent "Godzilla" was shot in Hawaii. Legendary Pictures is producing the movie. "Godzilla" is being distributed by Warner Brothers and is scheduled to be released May 16, 2014.

For a hot second, it looked like the PawSox were going to win a game. It doesn't sound like much and under usual circumstances, it wouldn't be much to crow about. These are not usual circumstances. The PawSox began their epic tumble around the Fourth of July and since then have played 46 games. They've lost 36 of them. That is not a misprint- 36 of 46, down the drain. There have been blowouts. There have been close calls. Shutouts and high-scoring affairs. Thursday night may have hurt the worst. Rochester is in town for a four day, five game series. Thge Red Wings are not a great team. Like Pawtucket, they're a group of prospects and suspects lurking below the .500 level. Yet, they've found a way to come into our house and beat us like a bass drum. There really is no one player to blame for the slide. Everyone from top to bottom has to look in the mirror and ask if they've done their best, consistently. These are really great guys, terrific people who have all gone in the tank at once. Leading 3-1 going into the ninth, it appeared like the nine game losing skid would become a bad memory. The always reliable Marcus McBeth walked the first two hitters in the ninth and they both eventually scored. When it was over, the PawSox had fallen 5-3. Ten losses in a row. The PawSox have not won a game in the entire lifetime of Dylan Pedroia, new son of A.L. MVP Dustin and wife, Kelli. (OK I'm being dramatic, the kid's only a couple of days old) But you get the point. It's the longest PawSox losing skein since 1993 and perilously close to the franchise mark for futility, 13 straight L's. Friday night, Rochester will try for the unheard of 5 game sweep. All Star Tim Wakefield will try his special brand of knuckleball mastery, but even that is somewhat diluted. Normally a sideshow, Wake's appearance will mark the third straight night a knuckleballer takes the mound at McCoy. There are thought to be only 5 in all of professional baseball and Wake follows Wednesdays' outing for Charlie Zink and Thursdays' R.A. Dickey sighting. Not quite as dramatic as when all the living presidents are photographed together, but somewhere Hoyt Wilhelm is smiling. Believe me, I am just as frustrated as any member of the organization. From owner Ben Mondor to manager Ron Johnson to the batboys- everyone is searching for answers. Smarter people than I have been given the task. If it were that easy to figure out, we'd never lose. There has been a slight dip in attendance. Hits on the blog and our email seem to be down. I can't blame you. Remember, this is the same club that made the playoffs in 2008 and has developed stars like Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, Jon Lester and Jonathan Papelbon in the last few seasons. Things will get better. I promise. History proves me right.
Great article in the Providence Journal on Tuesday by Mark Emmons of the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News. It was about former PawSox lefty Craig Breslow, deemed by the Wall Street Journal as "The Smartest Man in Baseball." Bres has a degree in Molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale. I once asked him to explain that to me and I was left scratching my head. Breslow started a foundation that has already raised over $100,000 for cancer and leukemia reseach. Breslow was inspired by his sister, Lesley, who was diagnosed with cancer when Craig was 12. Now 29, his sister has been cancer-free for 15 years. Breslow is the American League leader in appearances by a pitcher and is in the vast minority in baseball. He is one of just 26 big league players and managers who have college degrees. I always enjoy chatting with Breslow. I don't always understand, but there's nothing quite like chatting with Breslow.

Some notes on 2009 from a season ticket holder:
1. We desperately need a new hitting coach down here. Are you listening, Theo? Russ is probably a good guy, but hitting (specifically, a lack of diversity in hitting) has cost us the season.
2. I love RJ but he needs to realize that player development in the case of pitchers should not include leaving them in for 3 batters too many. This is exceptionally bad for their self-esteem AND their ERAs, and it has lost us numerous games this year. (Last night it seemed as though he did just the opposite, and we won– amazing! It worked!)
3. Player development clearly trumps winning down here– how sad for the fans and probably the team. Why else would we have parted ways with Paul McAnulty, Ivan Ochoa, Freddie Guzman, and Rocky Cherry? I can't imagine what it must feel like to be a player and not know who will or won't be your teammate when you report to work each day… or whether by the end of the day you will even have a job. In some cases, we parted ways with our best players (at that time), and most of their replacements have not been nearly as good as those who were released.
4. I really need to applaud the PawSox players for the courtesy and professionalism they have shown to the fans all year. They sign autographs, throw us balls, and smile for us despite how they must be feeling deep inside (embarrassed comes to mind). We know they are way better than their team's record, and that in some cases it's been coaching decisions that have cost us games. Yet, the players keep their heads up (except when they are slinking into the dugout after yet another loss) and generally show good sportsmanship. To me, you guys are heroes.
5. Julio Lugo continues to haunt us from the midwest. What a horrific trade, and we'll be paying for it dearly all next year.
6. The management of McCoy is outstanding. They know how to run a family friendly business, and how to keep the fans returning for more. They do an excellent job. And the ushers are fabulous– they have a difficult job and they are exceptional at it (especially Christine).
7. RIP to the guy who died at the stadium earlier this month. What a great way to go… front row, box seats on a beautiful day. Sign me up several decades from now.
8. Thanks to Hyder and Hoard for keeping us all informed.
Here's to a better 2010!

Five Great Kings, c. 1800Tibet, 1775-1825
Opaque watercolor on cotton with silk border
comp: 17-1/4 x 14-1/2 in. (43.8 x 36.8 cm); mount: 30 x 20 in. (76.2 x 50.8 cm)

The main figure in this composition is Pehar, a wrathful Central Asian deity who was installed as a protector of Buddhism in Tibet in the eighth century. With a dark-blue complexion, three bulging eyes and long, curling fingernails, Pehar rides a white elephant and brandishes a lasso and sharpened knife. He and the four corner figures are the Five Kings, or five aspects of Pehar: Body, Mind, Speech, Knowledge and Activity. The Five Kings each wear the distinctive round black Mongolian hat with a skull and vajra on top, indicative of their foreign status. The figure at the bottom center is a blacksmith protector, a Tibetan transformation of the fire god Agni, who rides a shaggy goat with twisted horns and holds a vajra hammer and tiger-skin bellows. At the top center of the painting is another important protector figure, Hayagriva. The silk brocade surrounding the painting is decorated with the svastika, an auspicious symbol that appears on a range of sacred objects and symbolizes good fortune.

A Republican member of the Legislature's budget committee says he doesn't know if he's convinced enough of his colleagues to reject a proposal freeing rent-to-own businesses from Wisconsin's consumer protection act.
Sen. Glenn Grothman on Monday joined with a representative of the Wisconsin Catholic Conference and the director of the consumer advocacy group WISPIRG to once again speak out against the provision in Gov. Scott Walker's budget.
Grothman is one of 12 Republicans on the budget committee. He would have to convince four other Republicans to join with him and the four Democrats to get the rent-to-own provisions removed.
Grothman said he thinks four other Republicans want to reject the proposal "in their heart," but he doesn't know if they will follow through.

I'll keep you from reading my rant of why I feel that child bike seats are unsafe and can lead to danger for the child and adult. That will be saved for another day.
Earlier in the summer Burley sent out a D'Lite Child Trailer for review purposes. Walking into the review I knew from my experience in the past with Burley, their trailers and the quality they take around design and development – I would be pleased with the results of their D'Lite trailer. As my children are grown to 10 and 11 years old, I borrowed and stole children of all sizes for the review and testing. At the bottom of this is a ton of photos to hopefully document all the details that the D'Lite has to offer.
My Burley Trailer History
My first experience with Burley outside of selling them was back in 2005. The shop I was managing outside of Boston had a few rental Burley trailers to use on the local rail to trail. During the early spring before our rental period picked up I adopted a puppy. I used a kids trailer with a couple blankets and a short leash to transport my new puppy to the shop and back. She loved it, I loved it and it was perfect. Since then Burley has actually released the Tail Wagon which is a trailer designed for your dog!
My next experience with Burley was as a bike line. My small shop in Charlotte, NC stocked and sold their road line. Beautiful steel bikes, a dying breed. Since then Burley has restructured and really going after the trailer and pull behind niche.
My latest experience was with the Burley Travoy. An urban trailer I reviewed over at Commute By Bike. The review is also reposted on Bike Shop Girl with more photos.
Details of the Burley D'Lite Child Trailer
Details pulled right from Burley.com
- Available in Green or Orange
- Replacement covers available in Yellow, Blue or Red
- Bowed-out sides for increased interior width/shoulder room
- Elastomer suspension system

- Deluxe reclining padded seats
- Five-point harness and padded shoulder harness
- Removable, washable seat pad and shoulder harness
- Tinted side windows

D'Lite Specifications
|Number of children
|100.0 lb/ 45.4 kg
|28.0 lb/ 12.7 kg
|Interior height
|25.2 in/ 64.0 cm
|Interior width

|Interior seat width
|20.0 in/ 50.8 cm
|Cargo space

|Wheel size

Key Features
The things I found unique and completely Burley:
- Tinted side windows
- Rear window that zips down for airflow and the child can see around
- Drink and snack holders on both sides the seats
- Reflective piping and logos all around the shell
- Easy to use
- Push button wheels
- Standard 20″ wheels, not the plastic kind
- Did I mention easy to use?
- Adaptable to all types of bikes
My Overall Feelings
The D'Lite delivered as I expected it to. The trailer isn't the cheapest out there, but if you purchase an accessory kit this could become your do all stroller, running jogger and kid hauler. The ability to completely flatten, pull the wheels off and stow it in the back of your vehicle is irreplaceable for the family on the go. Why not have one killer trailer/stroller/hauler instead of 3 that do 3 different things?
In the end I do believe that trailers are safer, allow you to bring two kids, clothing, and they are tucked behind UV windows, rain fly's mesh, and a roll bar. 5 point harness system will keep every kid in place. Extra room allows you to put snacks and toys in with them, without the ability of them throwing it overboard.
I hope to explore how parents can get their children interested in riding in the trailer, how to do it safely and tips/ideas of how to get out with your family. In the end it is completely how the parent handles taking the their child, how they encourage healthy living and being outside.
Disclaimer: This product was provided at no charge. I was not paid or bribed for the review and was completely as judgmental as I am with everything else in my life.

I personally was never able to get more than an ounce or two before my kids were four months old. Hopefully someone here can help you. I just wanted to tell you good luck and keep trying.
Do you have to pump so soon? You should try exclusively BF for at least the first six weeks to get a well established milk supply, pumping at this point could harm that. A pump is only a fair imitation of the sucking action that your child produces to maintain continual milk supply. I have a Medula product also. If you are feeding the baby, then pumping after, you will be lucky to get an ounce. Personally, what I did was after the six weeks of exclusively bf, I would stop feeding my son on one breast at around 3:00 am, so that when I got up I would have about 4oz to pump from that breast and freeze. So again, I would hold off on the pump until six weeks and pump in the morning.
If I pump when I first get up in the morning I can get the most (between 3-4 oz. from both breasts). But the rest of the day I only get 1-2 oz. from both.
I think that's perfectly normal especially when you are feeding your baby. I wouldn't worry.
I also have the Medela in style. When I do give my son a bottle of expressed bm I can pump about 3-4 oz depending on how long I wait since the last time I fed him. I believe they say to wait 1 hr. after you have feed the baby to pump. Since my son is not much of a napper, I try to get that morning pumping session in. Hope that helps!
Pumping is not an accurate gage of what you are producing for your baby. Some women are good at pumping and some are not. I think that it is a learned skill to be able to pump. As long as your baby is having the right amount of wet/poopy diapers then I would not worry about it. If you have to pump in order to go back to work then I would keep trying, but please do not be discouraged when you do not get a lot.
Thank you for all of your replies. I am glad I am not alone!
