English Manual at puppylinux.org
After I handed over the English manual (see www.puppylinux.org) to some new maintainers I concentrated myself on the German manual only and finished it for Puppy 4.00. Now I had a look at the English manual at www.puppylinux.org and unfortunatly I recognised that this manual has still old stuff from Puppy 3.01. I know from Caka (who is the maintainer of the Spanish manual) that he waits that the English manual is finished so he can translate it into Spanish. Because he cannot translate directly from German into Spanish he depends on the English version.
I think the quality of the English manual is most important for the users. So we should think about how to keep it up-to-date. Perhaps one of the maintainers can give a perspective to us.

Guys, I'm wondering if you should just call it the "4.x manual". If there is anything specific to one version, like 4.1, then a note can be made -- you could even have a little icon with "4.1+" in it. Just a thought.

Hi Oli, Jay...
I think like Oli that the quality of the manual in English is very important and should be updated before being published.
In addition I can't understand why some new chapters have a content different from the version in German and English. For example:
Perhaps the english chapter and their images are better that the german version; but i believe that the manual should be the same regardless of the language in which it is writing.
Or you seem better than I did a manual in Spanish with my own content without translating the original version ?. What is your opinion?.
And Jay, how you know that I am awaiting the final verison of the manual in english to translate it into spanish. So please Tell Me When you (Jay, Rod & Bill) will finish the manual in english.
Thank you very much and I'm sorry for my poor English.

I feel we need to open lines of comunication between the Manual Translators, to exchange information concerning edits. Perhaps create a list of pages, and split them up between us, to prevent cross editing each other. Many pages requrie a full rewrite to update them from 310 to 400. However, I do not want to rewrite anyone elses work.
The other language Translators are anxious for us to finish the English Manual, so they can translate it themselves, but see the inaccuracy of the existing version.
In its existing form, it is nearly useless for Dingo. If necessary, I will eventually create the necessary pages myself, but this will take some time.
I consider this task an honor, and take it very seriously. However, I do not want to appear to "Step on" anyones work.
I will open a Thread on the Forum to facilitate an easy exchange of ideas, in full view of the Puppy Community, to increase input from others, to aid us in creating the most comprehensive Manual possible.
With Regards, and awaiting your response...
Jay...aka Puppyluvr...

@ caka Unfortunately I can't help with your problem as I haven't had anything to do with the newer manual. I have only ever been proof reading the 3xx series manual and not involved with the creation of the 4xx series manual at all. And even this I have been having trouble with, due to the very large amounts of my available bandwidth being used by other projects I currently have going. Just previewing a post can take up to 5 minutes to load.

Bil Hello and thank you for your reply. I am very sorry that you're not involved in creating the manual Puppy 4.0. Some time ago I told Oli that I don't like the new system to translate its manual form online directly on the website. Always depends on having an Internet connection and we have to go editing, modifying and taxing page by page. I think it was much better the previous system in which Oli sent by e-mail ended the manual in English and translated without being connected to the Internet constantly.
Of course I will prefer that Oli send the whole manual in English gradually because I do not always have an Internet connection to make this work. And also is desperate to have to go editing each page, copying and pasting the content of the English version, to record it and then re-edit the content and translate it into Spanish. THIS SYSTEM IS FOR ME HORRIBLE but I accept it.
Jay I agree with everything you say and of course that there should be greater coordination between the various versions of translators. I continue to hope that somebody tell me that has completed the translation of a new chapter in the English version in order to pass it and update the Spanish version. So please when you change a chapter of the English version tell me to pass it immediately because the Spanish version currently coincides entirely with the English.
And finally say that from my point of view is a mistake that has been published the manual version 4.0 since it appears that many chapters are not updated and there are pictures of the previous version. In my opinion for the next time should not be made public if the manual is not completely finished.
Greetings to all.

I don't agree with you that the English version is too bad and useless. I think the main chapter is how to get and install Puppy. I updated these chapters to version 4.0 before I made the manual available to the community. At the same time I announced my retirement from the English version because it is too much work to maintain the German and the English manual and asked for someone who takes care about the English manual. I pointed out that there is still some work to update the English version 4.00 because some chapters are still from version 3.01.
In the meantime I finished the German manual and made a pdf-version too. I don't feel to be "chief" of all the manuals and I hope that you will find a way how to cooperate at the English manual.
Till now I decided that I write the German manual in my own way, it won't be a translation of the English manual. Of course I will have a look at the English version but "my" manual should have a personal touch and I take liberties to describe my own experiences and preferences (e.g. I describe how to make a backup with rsync instead of the backup-tool because in my opionen rsync is much more powerful and a Linux standard).

Which came first: the chicken or the egg? German dox or the English? Muppy or Puppy?
N.B. - I'm not fanning the flames of nationalistic warfare here. Inasmuch as the dev and significant portion of the community "build Puppy in English," doesn't it make sense to start there with documentation?
And regarding "personal touch" and "liberties" ...
Is there not going to be standardization with the different language versions of the manual? If not, this project is going to be fraught with failure, IMHO.

Sorry Oli. But I didn't say that the English version is too bad.
I only said that there are some chapters that aren't actualiced.

This is my opinion too.
Before Oli coordinated the state of the different versions of the manual, and now I think the person in charge of the English version should advise to the others and try different versions that are suited to the English version.
PS: Oli if you want, in the German version of course you can make changes it deems appropriate, but we should at least coordinate among all.
Regards caka and sorry for my poor english.

Boston Devices a Cartoon Marketing Ploy Jan 31 5:17 PM US/Eastern BOSTON (AP) -- At least nine electronic devices planted at bridges and other spots in Boston threw a scare into the city Wednesday in what a cable network said was a marketing campaign for a late-night cartoon. Highways, bridges and a section of the Charles River were shut down and bomb squads were sent in before authorities declared the devices were harmless. "It's a hoax _ and it's not funny," said Gov. Deval Patrick. Turner Broadcasting, parent company of Cartoon Network, said the devices, which consisted of magnetic, blinking lights, were part of a promotion for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."

Classified Staff Council of Bluefield State College Minutes March 23, 2007
Classified Staff Council of Bluefield State College Minutes
March 23, 2007
Members Present: Rick Akers, Carol Baldwin, Joan Buchanan, Kim Daniels, Lisa Neel, Michele Noe, and Berreda Ratliff.
Chair, Carol Baldwin called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m. in the Conference Room in Basic Science.
I. Minutes – A motion to accept the meeting minutes for the March 2, 2006 meeting with changes was made and seconded by Akers/Ratliff, all were in favor.
II. Old Business- Presidential Evaluation Committee Meeting-Carol stated that she was joined by Lisa, Tracey, Berreda, and Deidre Guyton at the meeting. She stated that the committee asked questions that referred to the list of duties and responsibilities that we had discussed at our last meeting. She, and other members present, responded according to what everyone had agreed upon at the last council meeting. She did say that after the meeting, she received a voice mail message from the president that he had realized that he had not planned his required annual meeting with the classified staff & council. He apologized and said that usually the Human Resources director helped to plan this meeting each year, and in the absence of a director, it had fallen through the cracks. He is requesting we get back with him about a good meeting date and time.
III. New Business-
A. All Classified Meeting-Carol asked to come up with a couple of dates to try to coordinate with the president's schedule. It was decided to see if he is available April 5 or 12.
B. Employees of the Year-We discussed the fact that last year we were put under a fast deadline and policy and procedure for nominations could not be established. It was brought up that we had said we would like to bring this issue up at an all classified meeting in order to get everyone's input. Last year we had discussed some guidelines on who would be eligible that we will present to the classified employees at the upcoming meeting. Each nominee must be a current permanent BSC employee with minimum 5 years of employment who has not received the award previously. All classified employees are eligible to nominate by sending a written explanation of the reasons the person is deserving of the nomination to the Council Chair, who will compile a list of nominees and justification to be voted on by the council by secret ballot. Although all classified employees are eligible to be nominated, council members will not be allowed to nominate, so as to ensure the utmost level of fairness. The chair will then tally the votes and advise the president who the winners are.
C. Classified Emeritus-Carol handed out a list of classified staff that she had been given. Upon further review, there were quite a few people that we noted were missing, therefore, Carol will try to get a more complete list and email it to all the council members before the next meeting so that we can discuss and vote on the nominations. The question was raised about what the winners receive as an
award. Kim stated that they got a plaque, free parking, and free admission to athletic events on campus. Michele made a suggestion that we ask the administration to erect a "Wall of Fame" somewhere on campus that we could display all winners of major awards here on campus (i.e. employees of the year, emeritus, etc.). Everyone agreed this would be a good moral booster and we should look into it.
D. Elections-Joan will email a list of all classified employees broken down by category and ask for nominations by Friday, April 13. The ballots will then go out in campus mail April 20 and must be returned by 4:00 p.m. on April 30. Kim, Carol, Rick, and Joan will tally the votes.
IV. Reports-Due to the lack of time, no reports were given at this meeting.
V. Next meeting/Adjournment
The next meeting will be held on April 19, 2007 at 2 p.m. in the conference room on the ground floor of Basic Science.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned by Carol.

All NHS children's trusts have logotypes based around the NHS logo. When constructing your NHS logotype, you should follow these guidelines closely. You should also ensure that you use the NHS logo correctly and consistently.
Your NHS logotype is made up of three main components. These are:
Your organisation's name is positioned to the left of the NHS logo, while your organisation's descriptor should appear below your local name.
Neither your logotype, nor the NHS logo, can be altered or added to in any way. You should not apply any additional keylines to your logotype or place your logotype in a box or any other shape.
For your logotype and key branded materials, always use your organisation's full and correct legal name, as set out in your Establishment Order or Terms of Authorisation for Foundation Trusts. Never use ampersands in your name (write the word 'and' in full), and always use commas to separate place names.
Avoid using abbreviations on letterheads and in publications, with the exception of St for 'Saint' and NHS for 'National Health Service'. Abbreviations can be used on smaller items, such as security cards, but they should still be printed in the correct style.
Finally, do not insert any text, images or graphic detail in your logotype's exclusion zone.
As an NHS organisation, you should use your own NHS logotype to demonstrate ownership of and accountability for materials that you produce.
You can use the NHS logo on its own, but you should always ensure that the name of your organisation appears somewhere on your materials. You can also use the NHS logo on its own if there is not enough space for your organisation logotype.
The exclusion zone is the clear area around your logotype in which nothing else should appear. It helps to ensure clarity and readability and improve the overall impact of your logotype. You must not insert any additional words, images or graphic details within the exclusion zone.
This clear space (X) is proportional and defined as the height of the NHS logo.
You can reproduce your NHS logotype in NHS Blue and black, or even just black, when printing on a solid NHS Yellow or white background. On other coloured backgrounds, logotypes should preferably be printed white out of the background.
You can order your NHS logotype free of charge by filling out our online order form.
If the name of your organisation is too long for its designated space, a second two-line version will be supplied. If your local name is short, only one version will be supplied. Your communications team should have an original copy of your logotype artwork, so check with them before making your order.

Two excellent teachers are 2000 Christa McAuliffe Fellows
May 12, 2000
|Chicago – Two teachers have been
named Illinois' 2000 Christa McAuliffe Fellows for innovative projects
to help students see the heavens and clean a portion of the DuPage
Heidi Blair, a teacher at Glenn Westlake Middle School in Lombard, and Cathy Wentworth, who teaches fifth grade at Heyworth Elementary School in Heyworth will each receive $15,000 from a U.S. Dept. of Education grant to support their Fellowship projects. The program is administered nationally by the Council of Chief State School Officers and locally by the Illinois State Board of Education.
"Cathy and Heidi have come up with innovative educational projects that will help their students be the best they can be and at the same time bring improvements to education that can be shared statewide," said State Superintendent of Education Glenn W. McGee
The Christa McAuliffe Fellowship is awarded annually to innovative educators with at least eight years' teaching experience. McAuliffe Fellows must create and complete projects that will improve education. The projects must also support state education priorities. The fellowship was created in 1987 in honor of Christa McAuliffe, the New Hampshire teacher who served as an astronaut on the ill-fated space shuttle Challenger in January 1986.
Blair, a 13-year veteran teacher, will create a curriculum unit called the "DuPage Watershed Analysis" to train middle school science students in water quality analysis and conduct a comparative study of the east branch of the DuPage River.
Based on the project's results, students will later work with the DuPage County Forest Preserve and Morton Arboretum to correct problems found in the east branch of the river. Finally, the research gathered through the project will support an application to the state to raise and release small mouth bass into the river's east branch.
Wentworth will use her fellowship funds to create a large, "backyard" astronomy project for her students and the Heyworth community.
Believing that students often learn best through hands-on work, Wentworth, a teacher since 1982 plans to use a professional-model telescope, mobile star lab, on-line connections with astronomers and trips to assorted planetariums and astronomy museums to create a new curriculum for her district.
That curriculum will then be made available to other districts statewide. Pictures of stars taken as part of this project will be posted on the school's website. The instructional unit will wrap up with a community star party complete with stargazing and an astronomical "fashion show" of student designs showing what they learned through the curriculum.
For the first time, the State Board this year is also awarding three McAuliffe Awards of Merit. The top three non-Fellow finalists will each receive $1,000.
William Hector, of Community Unit District 99 High School North in Downers Grove proposed to create and conduct a series of statewide workshops on the importance of organ donation.
Patricia Marshall of University High School in Normal proposed to create an interdisciplinary curriculum for her district and make it available to other districts through the Internet.
Sally Stone, of Tarkington Elementary School in Wheeling proposed to create a curriculum focusing on the global impact of oceans.

The Great Recess Debate
By Health Day
Ask any child what his favorite part of the school day is and you'll probably hear the word recess!
The American Academy of Pediatrics is jumping into the debate over whether recess is a necessary break or wasted time away from the books. The group's opinion: recess plays a crucial role in a child's development and should remain a regularly scheduled period.
In a new policy statement, this powerful group of pediatricians wants to make sure the trend towards dropping recess to make room for more academics doesn't continue. In fact, they'd like to see both recess and physical ed classes stay...and not allow gym class to replace recess.
The Academy says recess offers many important benefits for kids, especially when the play is unrestricted.
Beyond a mental health "break" during the day, growing evidence also links recess to better physical health, improved social skills and even higher cognitive development.
One final note: The AAP believes recess should never be withheld as a punishment...and suggests eliminating it can negatively affect academic achievement.

- Title
- Atomic force microscopy: loading position dependence of cantilever spring constants and detector sensitivity
- Author(s)
- Vakarelski, Ivan U.; Edwards, Scott A.; Dagastine, Raymond R.; Chan, Derek Y. C.; Stevens, Geoffrey W.; Grieser, Franz
- Abstract
- A simple and accurate experimental method is described for determining the effective cantilever spring constant and the detector sensitivity of atomic force microscopy cantilevers on which a colloidal particle is attached. By attaching large (approximately 85 μm diameter) latex particles at various positions along the V-shaped cantilevers, we demonstrate how the normal and lateral spring constants as well as the sensitivity vary with loading position. Comparison with an explicit point-load theoretical model has also been used to verify the accuracy of the method.

Equipment Testimonials
"The equipment is well-designed, and beautifully built. The education program allowed me to work within my timeframe, it is thoughtfully designed and faithfully executed and I feel that I have the framework and support to teach this amazing work. My instructors have guided, inspired and prompted me to build on my strengths. The Master Trainers have set the standard! I am a better teacher/trainer for it. I am so proud to say I am Peak Pilates certified!"
– Teri Jones, Peak Pilates Trainer, Shoreline, Washington
"From a Pilates instructors' perspective, Peak's equipment is a dream to work on. My clients feel as though they are working with the equipment, instead of struggling against it so it creates a beautifully dynamic and flowing movement experience."
– Bonny-Lynn Kuhn, Embody Pilates Studio, Edmonton, Alberta
"When we first asked Peak Pilates for an equipment quote, we were surprised to be asked questions about our training background and our style of teaching instead. Another time when I had to make a tight delivery dateline, the staff made the effort to meet it. And this is the one thing that sets Peak Pilates apart, genuine advice and concern for their customers' needs. Also our clients were very surprised to hear that Peak Pilates actually sent a representative to visit our studio, inspect the equipment and even help us with some assembling. It gave them confidence about the integrity of our studio and the equipment they were working out on."
– Amy Tan, Pilates Zentrum, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

|A jazzed up shortcut, baking mix biscuit, that uses lemon-lime soda and sour cream, resulting in the lightest most tender, delicious and easy biscuit.
Sour Cream 7-up BiscuitsThese are a super tender, light, and melt in your mouth biscuit perfect for a slather of butter, wrapping around slices of salty ham, or spooning over with sausage gravy or tomato gravy. The texture of these are just a bit different from old fashioned buttermilk biscuits, more soft & creamy.
My favorite baking mix to use is Pioneer Buttermilk Baking Mix, though any good baking mix will work. This is a great way to jazz up those baking mix biscuits. The use of soda - as in Coca Cola, 7-up, Dr. Pepper, Sprite - in baked goods has been around for years, well at least it has in this part of the Deep South, as has this recipe. I have no idea scientifically what the components do, but what I can tell you is that these biscuits are fantastic!
Place the biscuits on a half sheet baking pan just slightly touching each other for soft sided biscuits, or spread them slightly apart for crispier sides. I prefer them with softer sides, and I am especially partial to those perfect ones that are right in the middle. I'm that way with sheet cake too. And cinnamon rolls. And brownies!
I have seen across the net that some people call this biscuit a "Popeye's" copycat biscuit, as in Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken & Biscuits aka now Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen. Well, now... I do love me some Popeye's biscuits from far back in the day when Al Copeland owned the joint and nobody but those of us hanging out in New Orleans, Louisiana (or actually on the outskirts in St. Bernard Parish) knew what Popeye's even was, well outside of a cartoon sailor who ate spinach and loved Olive Oyl... well, I don't know about that.
These aren't anywhere near the Popeye's biscuit I know and love, so I wish they'd stop advertising them as such, but I will tell you, they are a very good and super easy biscuit to make, so let's make some! Here's how.
Recipe: Sour Cream 7-up Biscuits©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 6 to 8 biscuits
- 4-5 cups of buttermilk baking mix (like Pioneer or Bisquick brand)
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 cup of sour cream
- Up to 1 cup of regular or diet lemon-lime soda (like 7-up or Sprite)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter, melted, optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk together the dry ingredients; add in the sour cream. Stir, adding in the lemon lime soda, a little at a time, until dough comes together and is shaggy. Add more baking mix if needed. Sprinkle a bit of the baking mix on the counter, turn out dough onto counter and gently pat dough into a round about 1 inch thick. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or a glass dipped into flour, begin to cut out biscuits. Place them on a half sheet baking pan that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, sides slightly touching for soft biscuits, or about an inch apart if you like the edges more crisp. Drizzle with melted butter, if desired.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cook's Notes:~ Make sure you are using fresh baking powder and also shake or stir it in the container before measuring out.

Jo Handelsman, PhD
Frederick Phineas Rose Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology
Departments & Organizations
Yale Combined Program in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS): Microbiology: Bacteria; Microbiome | Molecular Cell Biology, Genetics and Development | Plant Molecular Biology
Office of Cooperative Research
In July 2014, President Obama appointed Dr. Handelsman as Associate Director for Science in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). During her time at the White House, her lab at Yale will continue to function, and she plans to return to her lab in January 2017.
Dr. Jo Handelsman is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor and Frederick Phineas Rose Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at Yale University. She received her Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1984 and she served on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1985 until moving to Yale in 2010. Her research focuses on the genetic and functional diversity of microorganisms in soil, plant and insect gut communities. Handelsman's lab is one of the pioneers of functional metagenomics, an approach to accessing the genetic potential of unculturable bacteria in environmental samples. Their studies using both culture-based and metagenomic analyses have led to discovery of novel antibiotics and determinants of antibiotic resistance and expanded understanding of multispecies interactions that enhance or diminish the health of host animals and plants.
In addition to her microbiology research program, Handelsman is also known internationally for her efforts to improve science education and increase the participation of women and minorities in science at the university level. She co-founded the Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute at UW-Madison, which designed and evaluated interventions intended to enhance the participation of women in science, and founded The Center for Scientific Teaching at Yale, which provides local and national leadership in transforming classroom teaching in science and engineering. Her leadership in education and women in science led to her appointment as the first President of the Rosalind Franklin Society, her service on the National Academies' panel that wrote the 2006 report, "Beyond Bias and Barriers: Fulfilling the Potential of Women in Academic Science and Engineering," appointment as co-Director of the National Academies Summer Institutes on Undergraduate Education in Biology, and her role as co-chair of a working group that produced the report to President Obama, "Engage to Excel: Producing One Million Additional College Graduates with Degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics."
Handelsman has co-authored over 100 scientific papers, 30 editorials, and three books about teaching: Entering Mentoring, Scientific Teaching, and Biology Brought to Life. She co-edits the series, Controversies in Science and Technology. She is a fellow in the American Academy of Microbiology, Wisconsin Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the AAAS; and a member of the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering. She served as president of American Society for Microbiology in 2013; has received numerous awards in recognition of her mentoring, teaching, and research contributions; and in 2009, Seed Magazine named her "A Revolutionary Mind" in recognition of her unorthodox ideas. In 2011, she was one of 11 individuals selected by President Barack Obama to receive the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring, and in 2012, Nature named her one of "ten people who mattered this year" for her research on gender bias in science.

The graph is a function of time, which means, in theory, that tracing the curve in one direction reveals past weather patterns, while tracing the curve in the other direction predicts future weather patterns. However, practically indistinguishable points may lead to completely different weather epochs, indicated by the two distinct "lobes." This phenomenon, known as sensitivity to initial conditions, is what prevents precise weather forecasts more than a few days into the future.

May 20, 2011 —
The River Reporter received the following correspondence from 6-year-old Kate Cortright and her 10-year-old brother Chaz expressing their concerns about protecting water quality in the Upper Delaware region.
The note asks The River Reporter to print their "Open Letter to the Delaware River Basin Commission." The petition on which they collected the signatures of fellow classmates at the Homestead School in Glen Spey, New York, as well as several other friends, can be seen by clicking the thumbnail photos at left above.
It reads: 'We are just kids under the age of 18 and can not vote but that doesn't mean we aren't concerned about what might happen to our Earth, so please keep our water safe. Please, before you do anything to the Earth like hydro-fracking, make sure you study it first so you can protect our environment.'"

We get a lot of questions about flower bulbs, but most involve when to plant them. Quite simply, "fall" flower bulbs are planted in the fall, grow roots into winter, then sprout and bloom in the spring. These include favorites such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinth and others. "Spring" flower bulbs are also known as tender bulbs (they don't survive cold ground temperatures); they're planted in the spring and flower throughout the summer. They include dahlias, glads, cannas, calla lilies and others. You can view these products by their planting seasons — Fall Planted Bulbs or Spring Planted Bulbs — or simply use the filters on the left to help you choose.

RSBS Digest: The World of Medicine
After Victor Martinez tore his ACL leading to all sorts of knock-on effects, I got to thinking about medicine and its place in sports and society.
There's no denying that modern medicine has had an overall positive effect on sports, allowing players to come back from injuries that would have ended careers even a few decades ago. Cortisone shots get players back on the field after seemingly devastating ankle sprains and allow pitchers to continue throwing the baseball when they're as old as Jamie Moyer. Tommy John surgery not only brings pitchers back, sometimes they even come back stronger than they were before.
Doctors can now attach toes to hands when thumbs go missing and unless you look closely or know what you're looking for, you'd never even notice. Organ transplants happen everyday and surgeons even performed a face transplant on a woman who was mauled by a chimp. I can personally attest to the transformative medicinal power of lasers after undergoing Lasik and waking to find that I could see without glasses for the first time in my life.
No, medicine is truly amazing. Except for one thing:
It's 2012 and still, here we are.

A sprained ankle is a very common injury. Approximately 25,000 people experience it each day. A sprained ankle can happen to athletes and non-athletes, children and adults. It can happen when you take part in sports and physical fitness activities. It can also happen when you simply step on an uneven surface, or step down at an angle. *

A Utah couple will conduct an unusual experiment during their first few months of marriage.
Austin Craig and Beccy Bingham of Provo will give up money as we know it and survive using only digital currency called bitcoin, Salt Lake City TV station KUTV reported.
The couple faces a significant challenge.
A San Francisco journalist tried the same experiment for only a week and found it very difficult.
The newlywed couple plans to spend only bitcoin for 90 days and will document the entire experiment, struggles and all.
Craig and Bingham will be married in July and, following their honeymoon trip in Costa Rica, the couple will come back to Salt Lake City and hand over their cash, their credit cards, their cell phones —everything. The newlyweds will live for 90 days using bitcoin as their only source of currency, according to KUTV.
Bitcoin is a little complicated. It's basically money that exists only in the digital world. You can use it for online purchases, but Craig and Bingham want to use it in the real world for face-to-face transactions.
The pair admits they're not sure how it will work. They plan to learn along the way.
The newlyweds launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a documentary about the project.The couple did set-aside real cash for medical emergencies and taxes. Otherwise, all spending for 90 days beginning July 27, will be done using bitcoins.
The couple is accepting bitcoin donations on their website lifeonbitcoin.com.

The Art of Schmoozing
Originally published: 12.01.06 by Guy Kawasaki
Building relationships can pay off in sales and partnerships.
The key is to establish a relationship before you need it. And this is why I'd like to provide the art of schmoozing.
1. Understand the goal. Darcy Rezac in his book, The Frog and the Prince, wrote the world's best definition of schmoozing: "Discovering what you can do for someone else." Herein lies 80% of the battle: Great schmoozers want to know what they can do for you, not what you can do for them. If you understand this, the rest is just mechanics.
2. Get out. Schmoozing is an analog, contact sport. You can't do it alone from your office, on the phone, or via a computer. You may hate them, but force yourself to go to tradeshows, conventions, and seminars. It's unlikely that you'll be closing a big order with someone you met online at MySpace or via Skype. Get out there and press flesh.
3. Ask good questions, then shut up. The mark of a good conversationalist is not that you can talk a lot. The mark is that you can get others
4. Unveil your passions. Only talking about business is boring. Good schmoozers unveil their passions after they get to know you. Great schmoozers lead off with their passions. Your passions make you an interesting person. Personally, my passions are children, Macintosh, Breitling watches, digital photography, and hockey if you ever meet me.
5. Read voraciously. In order to be a good schmoozer, you need to read voraciously. You need a broad base of knowledge so that you can access a vast array of information during conversations. Even if you are a pathetic passionless person, you can at least be a well-read one who can talk about a variety of topics.
6. Follow up. Over the course of my career, I've given away thousands of business cards. At one point, I thought I was nuts because if all those people called or e-mailed me, I'd never get anything done. Funny thing: hardly anyone ever follows up. Frankly, I don't know why people bother asking for a business card if they're not going to follow up. Great schmoozers follow up within 24 hours — just a short e-mail will do: "Nice to meet you. I hope we can do something together. Hope your blog is doing well. I loved your Breitling watch. I have two tickets to the Stanley Cup Finals if you want to attend." Include at least one thing to show the recipient that she isn't getting a canned email.
7. Make it easy to get in touch. Many people who want to be great schmoozers, ironically, don't make it easy to get in touch with them. They don't carry business cards, or their business cards don't have phone numbers and email addresses. Even if they provide this information, it's in grey six-point type. This is great if you're schmoozing teenagers, but if you want old, rich, famous, and powerful people to call or e-mail, you'd better use a 12-point font.
8. Give favors. One of my great pleasures in life is helping other people; I believe there's a big Karmic scoreboard in the sky. God is keeping track of the good that you do, and She is particularly pleased when you give favors without the expectation of return from the recipient. The scoreboard always pays back. You can also guess that I strongly believe in returning favors for people who have helped you.
9. Ask for the return of favors. Good schmoozers give favors. Good schmoozers also return favors. However, great schmoozers ask for the return of favors. You may find this puzzling: Isn't it better to keep someone indebted to you? The answer is no, and this is because keeping someone indebted to you puts undue pressure on your relationship. Any decent person feels guilty and indebted. By asking for, and receiving, a return favor, you clear the decks, relieve the pressure, and set up for a whole new round of give and take. After a few rounds of give and take, you're best friends, and you have mastered the art of schmoozing.

text: Hi all, new here, looking for some advice on herbs in foods and how they affect my milk. Today I had a bowl of soup my dad had made which I later found out had various herbs in it, none of which he could remember what they were. I have heard that herbs can be dangerous while breastfeeding and some can in fact dry up your milk. Is this the case in foods? How much would I need to eat for this to affect me? My main concern is the possibility of my milk drying up.

About Me Grandparent
Comments about Learning Resources Jumbo Dinosaurs:
My almost 2-year-old grandson loves dinosaurs! I wanted to get him some that did not have small enough areas to put in his mouth and that would be sturdy but not extremely hard like some in the stores. These are perfect! They are well-made, slightly softer material, and pretty realistic-looking. He is enjoying them immensely, and my always cautious daughter says she feels they are safe for him.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

jumbo dinosaurs smell
By Lee
from Ocean City NJ
Very smell sensitive but these were packaged in bags so it was overwhelming went unwrapped. The smell stayed with them although it did lessen.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great for young children as well!
By Wendy
from Suffolk
About Me Mum of 3
These dinosaurs are suitable for any age although it says 3 years plus my baby has happily played with them as they are large enough to not cause a problem. They are made of strong durable plastic which makes the dinosaurs look realistic. They enable individual interactive play and can be taken anywhere. The only issue is the name of the dinosaur is not underneath.

About Me First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
My little one who is 2, absolutely loves the set and brings them everywhere with him. He knows the names of most dinosaurs and immediately recognised them when I first gave them to him. Although the recommended age is 3+ I felt the toys are large enough so as not to be harmful or dangerous for him to play with.

text: Not sure where to put this. DS (6mo) is mainly breastfed tho I have pumped all along. He took a few bottles early on from daddy and did fine with it. After a few months of breast only he got snobby and now wont take a bottle at all. I would really like it if he would take an occassional bottle for date night and the like. I have tried it with frozen milk, refrig, and freshly pumped...nothing works. I, DH, and Aunt have tried to no avail. We use avent bottles. Any suggestions?
