... looks as though they are trying to revive the town although I am not sure I would want to spend a week on holiday myself in New Brighton. Each to there own I guess!
In the evening we headed into Liverpool to watch 'Let it Be', a show that has come straight from London's West End, showcasing the music of the Fab Four. With around 40 Beatles songs in the show it was pretty much non-stop hit after hit after hit. The audience were certainly up ...

On another note - we have, at times, found various accents quite challenging. We were going well in Inverness until we had to have a discussion with one of the receptionists, Caroline. Her Scottish brogue was very thick - Chris managed to decifer most of it but Bruce had no idea what she was saying. Most of the young ladies in Liverpool ...

The pregame rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone was even better than I had imagined and left me truly speechless. The game itself was a bit like Liverpool's season so far - promised much but at the last touch failed to deliver. It looked like Liverpool had snagged a winner in the 77th minute before ...

It showed the different levels of civilisation, from ...

Dark nights, and dark women.Mature
A beautiful singer is thrown together with a scruffy detective down on his luck, when the working girls of a small city begin showing up dead.
Somewhere in the foggy, darkened streets of New York, a woman's scream rang out only to be met with silence.
The locals knew better than to investigate, shutting their doors to the chaos of the outside world and praying to god whatever it was would leave them out of it.
The lone clacking of high heels belonged to a woman who fit under the "Not smart enough" category, at least to them. With a red lipped smirk, a woman cloaked in nightfall watched the lights flick off one by one, following her down the street as if celebrating her midnight stroll.
She took the cigarette from between her teeth, lifting a dainty wrist to knock sharply upon the door at the end of the street. The miserable red glare from a blinking 'MOTEL' sign one floor up bathed her in an eerie glow, though it all seemed fine to her. These were her filth covered streets, these were her girls that prowled the side walk after sundown, and this was her city.
A slat was forced aside with a sharp scrape of metal on metal, a pair of tired, hazed grey eyes staring down at the woman with recognition. Jessica pushed her way inside, standing at the top of the stairs looking down with that proud smirk that sat perpetually upon her face.
With her first step forward, she dropped the thick furs from her shoulders and began her slow descent. With every step those long legs took, the gaze of many was sure to follow. Her hips moved just the right amount, swaying as if it were natural- this show she put on.
The Undertow was the kind of bar a man went to, to escape his wife and his responsibility. Where the broken hearted, the lonely, the misfits and the unwanted went to feel like part of a world so unlike the one outside those heavy doors. Lit not by candles, but by dying lights and the red glow of the end of a cigar.
Under the red light, anything went..

Polymer-assisted formation of hydrophobized, shape-anisotropic zinc oxide nanoparticles via an inverse emulsion technique

A one-step inverse emulsion process using amphiphilic surface-active copolymers for the synthesis of hydrophobized, shape-anisotropic inorganic nanoparticles is presented. While such structures are normally prepared sequentially by particle formation and hydrophobization, we have combined both reactions. This approach is demonstrated exemplarily with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. A key issue is the design of amphiphilic copolymers that act as emulsifiers to enable an aggregate-free redispersion of the particles and to stabilize the inverse emulsion for the precipitation in the droplets. In a first approach, the stabilizing as well as the hydrophobizing property of the copolymers are combined with the ability to control the crystallization in one polymer (structure-directing emulsifier—SDE). In a second approach, a mixture of two polymers is applied: an amphiphilic copolymer for hydrophobizing/stabilizing the inorganic nanoparticles and a polar or double hydrophilic polymer that induces the anisotropic growth of the ZnO nanocrystals (structure-directing agents—SDA). Homopolymers and block copolymers, consisting of phosphonic acid groups or propylene oxide groups, were used as SDAs. Typically, hydrophobized shape-anisotropic particles of up to 600 nm in length and with an aspect ratio of 1:4 were obtained.

Loved ones of Florence Leung are calling for more support to be given to mother's suffering from postpartum depression.
The body of the 32-year-old New Westminster mom was found in the waters near Bowen Island on Tuesday, almost three weeks since she went missing from her home.
Friend, James Chang, says they will now focus on raising awareness for postpartum depression.
"People who are working to help mothers who are suffering from postpartum depression, raise awareness, end the stigma. There has been some very sad comments about how people don't understand this mental illness. It's a very slow healing process."
READ MORE: Mother's tragic death renews calls for postpartum support funding
Chang says they also want to focus on healing.
"First and foremost, is make sure Aidan is well-taken care of and number two, is to remember Florence, how she lived, not the tragic ending that turned out. We want people to remember Florence Leung's life and how she was very compassionate and caring to others."
Chang says the family will hold a memorial service late next week.

Andrew Clark on America + Citigroup
They're not all overpaid. One Wall Street banking boss, Citigroup's chief executive Vikram Pandit, has embraced austerity by turning down a bonus and receiving a modest $128,750 in remuneration for 2009
Just how difficult is it to travel the 204 miles from New York to Washington in time for a 11am appointment on a Monday morning? Eyebrows were raised this week when the bosses of Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley failed to make it to the capital for a meeting with President Obama, citing "fog" which disrupted flights
Unwelcome memos thudded onto desks this week. America's once proud corporate titans, still in business thanks to government bail-outs, have tightened up on expenses to satisfy the US treasury.

This is a tough issue! The Djs I have worked with are not too keen about how people approach them, especially when they are trying to establish a vibe that has nothing to do with the current fab top 40 or whatever. Many Djs at clubs are virtually inaccessible (up a ladder, in a both, etc.)for a reason. The club owner has hired this DJ to create a particular atmosphere (IE trip=hop) and people asking for rap or Top 40 just does not fit in. Yes there are ways of fitting in music (on the spot mixes for example), but I usually enjoy the ride that the DJ is going to take me on.Besides, a really big name DJ will laugh in your face or ignore you - they are being paid $1,000 plus expenses to be there for there vibe!!

Virgin Media Raises $3.65 Billion in Bonds for Liberty TakeoverCharles Mead
Virgin Media Inc. raised $3.65 billion with bonds in dollars and pounds as part of a planned $8.3 billion financing package to help fund its acquisition by John Malone's Liberty Global Inc.
Britain's second-biggest pay TV company sold eight-year secured notes with a $1 billion portion of 5.375 percent securities that yield 376 basis points more than government debt and a 1.1 billion-pound ($1.73 billion), 6 percent piece that has a 435 basis-point spread, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Virgin Media also sold 10-year, senior unsecured notes with $530 million of 6.375 percent bonds yielding 452 basis points more than benchmarks and 250 million pounds of 7 percent debentures that pays an extra 490 basis points.
Liberty Global agreed this week to buy Virgin Media in a $16 billion cash-and-stock transaction, allowing the company to vie with Comcast Corp. to be the largest cable operator and to take on Rupert Murdoch's British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc. Virgin Media is also seeking about $4.7 billion of loans as part of the fundraising arranged by Credit Suisse Group AG.
The secured debt is rated BB- by Standard & Poor's and the senior notes are ranked two levels lower at B.

Theo Randall
Went to Theo Randall last night for a friend's birthday and had a fantastic time. The food was superb and the service outstanding. Used the London-eating special offer - one of the best offers we've used. What made it even more special is that we were invited by the restaurant manager to tour the kitchens and meet Theo Rndall himself! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and we will return.

First of all, if you are looking for Garden Tuesday, it's here (I posted it yesterday so I could share these blondies today). Okay, now back to today's post. In trying to overcome my baking fears, I joined the fine participants of the Creative Cookie Exchange. If you are wondering how I chose them, it was all their boozy cookies that they posted last month!! That would have of course been right up my alley. This months challenge was white chocolate. When I found a recipe for Cookies and Cream Blondies from Donna Hay, I knew I found my first endeavor!
If you're looking at that first photo and thinking, "Wow, Pam, that's some creative blondie cutting you have going on there, most normal people cut them in squares." Well, did you know that if you pick up a tray of barely cooled blondies by the edges of the parchment paper and walk them all over the house looking for the best light, that they will basically fall into each other, cracking into an interesting jigsaw puzzle blondie? Moral of the story is to always have them supported with some sort of pan underneath. Though, I actually liked them like this, no squared portion control, we were free to take big chunks of blondies!
Speaking of portion control – good luck. As Mr. Sidewalk Shoes said, "These are addictive." They are so insanely good. The cream cheese and the chunks of oreo cookies create an oozy while simultaneously crunchy center and the white chocolate laced blondie portion is the perfect sugary sandwich for it! Seriously these were amazing! I found them in the Oct/Nov 2011 issue from Donna Hay. If you would like to get her current magazines on your iPad, I huge recommend her donna hay magazine iPad app!
- 7 ounces of softened butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 2/3 cups plain all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder, sifted
- 7 ounces white chocolate, melted
- 4.5 ounces softened cream cheese
- 5 1/2 ounces Oreo Cookies, chopped
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixture until pale and creamy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition, then add the vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder and chocolate and beat until combined.
- Spoon half the mixture into a lightly greased 12x8 baking pan lined with non-stick baking paper. Top with spoonfuls of cream cheese (I just sort of tore off bites of it). Sprinkle with the oreo cookies. Top with the rest of the dough and spread it to cover the cookies and cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is cooked though when tested with a skewer. Allow to cool in the tin before slicing.
The theme this month is White Chocolate! White chocolate is seriously underrated as a baking ingredient–it complements so many other flavors so nicely, like citrus, spices, berries, winter squash, etc. So if you want to see all the ways white chocolate can be used to make terrific cookies, you have come to the right place! If you are a blogger and want to join in the fun, contact Laura at thespicedlife AT gmail DOT com and she will get you added to our Facebook group, where we discuss our cookies and share links.
You can also just use us as a great resource for cookie recipes–be sure to check out our Pinterest Board and our monthly posts (you can find all of them at The Spiced Life). You will be able to find them the first Tuesday after the 15th of each month!

It is also important to ask whether the former subwoofer is powered or unpowered, as a subwoofer without engines is required to operate an amplifier. To replace a subwoofer, it can also be interesting to try temporary repair procedures such as registration of a torn or rewind the coil cone.
Home theater subwoofers are used for low-frequency effects channel so that both listen to music and watch movies experiments can be affected when they fail speakers. In some cases, it is possible to open a subwoofer home theater speaker to replace the speaker, although these envelopes are not suitable for such repairs. When replacing these subwoofers, one of the most important factors to remember is that the speaker is not too big for the receiver or amplifier is manageable. It might also be a good idea to select a replacement of the active subwoofer so that the receiver or amplifier has more power available to the rest of the speakers.
When buying drums, the budget always seems to be an issue. Because we are talking about extremely expensive equipment, customers will welcome any kind of great value deal.
Many experts accept that purchasing electronic drum kits is the effective solution for both pros and beginners, as it helps cut the solid budget without lots of harm to the equipment. We show you the best electronic drum set, and hopefully, it will be your choice.
OSP DD502 DD-502MKII Starter Drum Set Kit
This kit comes with an extremely low price, yet provides all sonic segments that beginner drummers may need.
The sturdy package you may have here in terms of the budget, quite easy for users to transport as well as offering realistic full-on experiences of live drum kits. In addition to the Aluminum framework as well as the digital module along with LED display, this product includes 3 tom drums just for fills, 1 snare drum, 3 cymbals, one hi-hat pedal in order to maintain timing, as well as the kick drum along with pedal used for low-end beats.
Additional equipment in the kit includes two drumsticks, the 110-volt adapter, all of the essential cables; color coded and labeled a detailed manual and 215 voices, twenty preset kits, ten user kits, as well as fifty preset songs.
- Choose Monitors That "Fit" Your Room
There are many sizes of studio monitors. "Near-fields" are often biased, since we all want them to be in close proximity to our listening position. People measure near-field monitors by the biggest speaker cone size and vary to suit consumer's interest. Normally you will see speakers with size from 5 to 8 inch. But if you prefer bigger or smaller ones, it's totally fine.
I'm sure you heard a couple advices in which they recommend you to buy the biggest you can afford, for the bass matter but I generally think that is not necessary. I say you should choose the monitors fit your mixing room completely. You have a typical empty room for you to make a home studio, a 5 inch pair will do.
For bigger room, like kind of pro studio room, then you should go with the 8 inch monitors.
However, like I said, there's no rule in choosing your monitors, just go with whatever you like.
At the moment, there are many strategies together with different kinds of material to construct a whole building or a simple house. It depends on elements that affect the utilities of the structures, such as climate, atmosphere or the amount of materials used. One of them, stucco, is worth trying if your model with different parts. Blocks with thousands of years old, built with stucco on the exterior, have existed for centuries. Stucco systems are not a bad choice for your home, if you are still wondering, because they work perfectly on various structures and designs, even from a tree to a castle.
Below are the answers to the question: Why homeowners and businesses use stucco for their walls and buildings?
Stucco structures are very energy efficient: Stucco is made up of lime, silica and cement, formed in many layers on wood, brick or metal. Basically, coated stucco on four walls forms a shield around, making it cooler in the summer but warmer in the winter.
Stucco help to soundproof: This is a huge benefit for people who are living or working in a noisy neighborhood or across a subway station, whose sounds easily become unbearable.
You are looking for the best ceiling fan for bedrooms, living rooms or at least for the money; then this article is yours.
Running a ceiling fan
One of the advantages of a ceiling fan is that it helps refresh us through the breeze are generated. These devices operate in a different way as is used in winter or summer because in summer the fan causes a breeze hitting our skin to generate cooling sensation which is generated. However, in winter (the blades would rotate in the opposite direction) the fan downward force accumulated air temperature increases and residual wood.
Remember that ceiling fans are not incompatible with air conditioning but rather because the air conditioner circulate the air in parts of the room and the ceiling fan will help distribute air throughout all areas helping the air conditioner. If you want to know how to choose the best ceiling fan, just keep reading the analysis of the best ceiling fans money today.
First thing, establish your financial budget before you begin. Be certain not to place it too low as it might take you much longer to get the right drum set because your selection may be too minimized. If you're a starter drummer and simply looking for an introductory place, I would recommend a budget of 300 to 500 bugs. Newbie products are usually similar in quality, but there are specific what to look for like cymbal quality, hardware quality, and the pedal response. If you are a intermediate drummer I quickly would recommend a save between 600 dollars and 1200 dollars. With an intermediate kit you should not have to compromise in conditions of your preferences. When buying used equipment, be certain that you will be buying from someone that knows how to take care of a kit well.
For a specialist the sky is the limit on what you can spend. A couple of unlimited limited release kits. I understand that looks funny but it appears these days that each company is wanting to take action not used to up the worthiness on their set up.

wikiHow to Run for Student Council President
Five Parts:Getting recognizedShowing your interestGetting nominatedSelf promotionPreparing for the electionCommunity Q&A
Are you thinking of running for student council president? Chances are, it won't be easy, as there may be many other people who will run for the same position. But if you still want to run and believe you have what it takes to be the student council president, then you're in luck! This helpful guide will take you through the basics of running for Student Council President, or any office of your student council.
This article may benefit from a new introduction.
You can help wikiHow by improving the current introduction, or writing a new one to match the format described in the Writer's Guide. Please remove this notice once this page has been improved. Notice added on: 2016-03-27.
Part 1
Getting recognized
1On the first day of school, be the person you would want to know forever. Be friendly, open and receptive to as many people as possible. Smile, ask them how they're doing and be interested in their responses. In this way, you can hope to make as many friends as you can. And the more friends you have, the more they will all be rooting for you.
Part 2
Showing your interest
1Go to all of your meetings as often as you can. This makes you appear responsible. Don't just sit there. Talk, bring up topics, make it seem as if you are a good representative for your school.
- What needs to be improved in your school? Don't just come up with your own ideas; ask others for theirs too. That way, you can say things such as: "I took an informal poll of around 50 students here who think that the morning exercise routine isn't tough enough."
Part 3
Getting nominated
Part 4
Self promotion
1Advertise yourself. As soon as you are nominated, create your brand and start marketing what you're offering.
- Create a slogan that will go on your posters.
- Make create clear, vibrant, bright posters that are easy to read and to the point. The most important things are your name and the position you are running for; put these things in big letters! Otherwise, it will be boring and take too long to read. Include your slogan, and a few pictures that grab people's attention.
- Post the posters wherever you can. Put up about 20+. Hang the posters all over school, specifically on doors to classrooms and in the cafeteria/lunchroom.
2Make a few (2-3) larger posters on poster board that offer the same as the smaller ones. However, these should also include your previous accomplishments and/or what you plan to do if you win.
3Hand out flyers and small, but good quality treats, such as lollipops.
4Try to get a bunch of people to wear t-shirts (check the rules of election first) that support you. This is free, mass advertising, and soon people will be asking you for shirts that they can wear.
Part 5
Preparing for the election
1Start working on your speech. Explain why you are running. Speak from your heart - people will be able to tell that you really want the position. And don't be too pushy. They might think you're forcing them to vote for you!
2Answer questions brightly and truthfully. Don't make impulsive promises; you might regret it later when you really can't do it.
3Be friendly and polite to everyone, even your opposition. It helps your image, and creates the idea that you are a good sport. Be sure people in groups like a drama club, sports team, or cliques are familiar with you. Sitting at different tables during lunch is a great idea. Try to strike up conversation.
4Remember to explain what you have done as President if you're running for re-election.
5Make sure you know what position you are running for. Make sure that you understand the responsibilities that are required of you.
6Try not to reference national politics. You'll probably end up offending someone.
Community Q&A
- When making posters, have more than just "Vote for ____". Try a catchy phrase or something unique.
- If you give a speech, make it short and to the point. Don't make it too long, or you will bore people and lose votes.
- Practice speaking and smiling. This is important. You also may want to work on your image. Don't change yourself, but do indulge a bit to give the people what they want.
- Try getting people to "be on your side" and help your campaign.
- Have a campaign manager.
Dress nicely for speeches and also while running for student council.
- Be funny in your speech/posters. Puns are actually enjoyable in this environment and might be a good way to go for your slogan. A cute campaign ad for elementary to middle school might show you beside animals that correspond to your pun. For example, a picture of you and a koala might read, "Vote for me, I have all the right qualifications!"
- Branch out and make connections.
- Don't use bribes, not only is it against the rules in some schools, but it is also going to cost you votes.
- Don't go overboard with the humor, nothing wins votes like a good joke and nothing loses them like a bad or overused one.
- Make sure you know the rules of the election so you don't get disqualified.
- Consider having a running mate, someone who can appeal to people outside your influence.
- Don't smear the opposition, it makes you look like a poor sport and will definitely cost you when voting time rolls around.
- A lot of the times, student elections are nothing more than a popularity contest, and despite your best efforts, and being the most qualified candidate, you still might lose.
- Don't use the Napoleon Dynamite theme. It just gets annoying after a while. Any theme does, for that matter. Keep it neutral and original.

Hedonism! Its very definition is the philosophy that "pleasure" is the ultimate importance; and the most important pursuit of pleasure is of the Mind, Body, Spirit and Soul. Hedonism is a sandbox for your inner child, nourishment for the mind, body, spirit and soul. Pleasure comes in many forms...Sleep in. Stay up late. Give up counting calories. Have a drink before noon. Talk to strangers. Go skinny dipping.
For more than thirty years, Hedonism Resorts have enjoyed a reputation for shattering inhibitions and provoking the kind of behavior people don't talk about in polite circles. It's what happens when you combine warm water, a white-sand beach, open bars and open minds. This is about as far as you can get from your everyday life. And best of all, just about everything you can eat, drink and do is included.
When you set your mind free, it's amazing how happily the body will follow. At Hedonism you can put your body to the test in any number of ways.
Take up windsurfing, play volleyball naked or catch a game of tennis. Let our resident experts help you add some extra fun to your vacation.
Stay up all night dancing in Club Hurricane. Our world famous nightclub has been completely refurbished and is always happening. Open from 10:30pm to 5:00 am or until the last person leaves.
If the laid-back lounge scene is more your thing, come sing along with new found friends at the Piano Bar. Enjoy the classical interlude from 6:30 pm, our pianist plays from 10:00 pm to 1:00 am and karaoke is available at 10:00 pm Mondays and Tuesdays.
Indulge in our full-service Blue Mahoe Spa offering a wide range of treatments and massages. Toast the sunrise with a planters punch from one of our Jacuzzis.
Some say it's because of the magical potions served up at their bars, others attribute it to powerful aphrodisiacs found in native fruits. And of course, it could just be the mirrors on the ceilings of every guest room.
But whatever it is, it seems that everyone at a Hedonism resort develops a little more enthusiasm for all things romantic, wild, adventurous and SEXY!
That wonderful non-judgmental attitude is just one reason why you're likely to see the same smiling faces, year after year.

All rooms and suites have air-conditioning with tiled floors, mirrored ceilings, 1 king or 2 twin beds, flat screen TV, refrigerators, a Euro-style Jacuzzi shower or rain shower, a coffee maker, iron and ironing board, safe deposit box and hairdryers.

A new house. Great. Thought young Janet moodily. She looked up at the tall building, made of red bricks, and big, elegantly made windows. This house is scary!
Pete ran in front of her, and leaned against the huge oak door. He looked intently at the knocker, which had a sculpture of a man screaming.
"Cool!" Pete said, interested. He looked intently at the knocker. Peggy, their mum, was carrying all of the luggage, and Janet decided to help. She took everything of hers, because it was all she could carry. Mum walked up to the door, and unlocked it. It made a creaky sound that spooked Janet.

Create a new Report on the report tab, then where it says "What to include in the report" select "installed applications" then "is". After that if you begin typing the name of your package it should give you the option to select it. E.g. Microsoft Small Business Edition. Once you have completed the criteria select save and run and you will be provided with a list of all computers on your network that has the chosen package installed.
Hope this helps.


text: When Governor Baldacci signed the same sex marriage bill in May those who supported it rejoiced but they also knew they would have a fight on their hands. Cindy Leiffer of Orrington supports gay marriage. "We were elated, we felt very proud of Maine, proud of the Governor and the legislature for passing that," says Leiffer, "we knew there would be opposition and that it would be on the ballot and sort of braced ourselves for the fight that's going on."Today a statewide rally was held, called the In-terfaith March. It brought folks together from all denominations in support of gay marriage. Reverand Mark Worth came all the way from Castine to participate. "Well we have more than 200 religious leaders, clergy, rabbis, pastors, across the state who have signed statements saying that they support "no on #1″ that we want to preserve the right of same sex couples to marry and that it's a good thing," he says. Rabbi Darah Lerner of Congregation Beth El in Bangor agrees. "I think it really points to the importance of this not just as a civil rights issue but as a spiritual issue," she says, "an issue of holiness and an issue of committment and an issue of values that religious denominations share like stability of families and the importance of raising kids in a loving committed relationship."The event had everything from musical entertainment to testimonials from same sex couples. Those here felt that a rally of this size shows how far maine has come in a very short time. "If you had asked me a year and a half ago if we would be where we are right now i wouldn't have believed it, i am thrilled to see this kind of support for fairness and equality," said Reverand Worth.The people here also understand and respect the right of the opposition to bring this issue to the voters. "Well we support the idea that we should be able to take issues to the public vote," says Rabbi Lerner, "that's an important civil responsibility here in America and that they did this that's fine but the issue is there's lots of us who believe that marriage is an important civil right that we should all express and we will all be voting."This issue will ultimately be decide by the voters in November.

Manches has launched a bid to recover more than £500,000 in unpaid fees for work carried out for bankrupt video games company Gizmondo Europe.
Manches litigator Clive Zeitman has issued a High Court claim form demanding £551,329 from Carl Freer, Gizmondo's chief executive. Gizmondo was owned by parent company Tiger Telematics until it was handed over to the liquidators in February.
"We got guarantees from Freer and Tiger," Zeitman told The Lawyer. "This is a debt collection and we'll stand in line with everybody else."
Zeitman said the firm did "an awful lot of work for Gizmondo". Manches supported the European release of the eponymous hand-held games console and secured trademarks for the company.
It may have a long wait. According to Securities and Exchange Commission filings, Gizmondo had debts of more than $260m (£148.5m) for the first nine months of 2005. It left companies queuing for payment, including PR company Ogilvy and Formula 1 team Jordan.
Lass Salt Garvin, the London private client boutique advising Freer, refused to comment.
In February this year, former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson was involved in a car crash, writing off a red Ferrari Enzo. The value of the $1m (£571,100) car was roughly equal to the amount demanded by Manches.

I spoke with my pediatrician and he doesn't seem that concerned.....andI don't understand why. I read that sometimes there are symptoms and sometimes there are none in a child.....how am I supposed to know if I need to bring the baby to the MD if there are no symptoms? Also, when can I stop worrying about this....window period?But again...if there are no symptoms a child can still be infected. Please have a pediatrician answer this question. Thank you.

Hi. I'm the mom of a baby girl who will be 4 months old in 3 days. Last week she and I both fought minor colds. Yesterday evening upon washing my face I noticed what appeared to be the start of a cold sore just under my nose (not only lip). I'm terrified because I know I was kissing her yesterday but I don't know if the sore was leaking at that point ( I didn't even know I had it). On we discovering it, I treated it, covered it and ceased kissing baby or touching her with hands that were not sanitized. Called her doctor last night and he was not at all concerned but I still am. My questions are:Just how serious is a cold sore infections in a 4 month old (I read of fatalities in smaller babies)?Would she have any immunity protection given that she has been breastfed since birth?Would she have any immunity protection given that I has a cold sore outbreak during pregnancy?Is there anything else I should be doing to protect her (blood tests, antiviral Meds etc)Thank you
My daughter is 11 weeks old, so almost 3 months. I have had a number of cold sores since her birth and have tried hard to be careful around her. Last night, however, I was exhausted and let down my guard...and she reached up and hit my mouth, and then immediately put her hand on her eye. 1. I understand that oral herpes are very dangerous for a neonate. I assume that an 11 week old would be much better off though...is that true?2. How would oral herpes likely present itself at her age of almost 3 months?3. My daughter was wearing scratch mittens...will that help reduce the odds of her catching the virus since it would have been more of an indirect contact (my mouth to mittens to her eye)?Thanks!

I began investigating vitamin a as my pediatrician is recommending vitamin d only for my newborn as opposed to the poly tri vi sol he recommended for my older son in infancy.I did the math. Upper safe limits of preformed vitamin a is 2,000 iu for 1-2 year old. I estimate that my my now 3.5 year old son had about 2,300 - 2,500 iu for 9 months to a year from 14 months to about 2. I continued poly tri vi sol that had been recommended in his infancy as label said for toddlers also. I was unaware of potential danger of vitamin a toxicity. He was drinking whole milk and eating cheese and yogurt also. I also was giving him the max amount of protein as well. I am concerned I may have inadvertently caused liver and or kidney damage. He is very healthy. Very active. 3 year appointment was perfect as was urine specimen. No blood tests, of course. Please advise as my guilt is getting the better of me.
Medical Director and pediatrician
Hi there, our 3-year-old had her first encounter with the cold sore virus about 3 weeks ago now. She grew a big one, on her neck, it was tested for the herpes simplex virus (cold sore variety) and confirmed to be this. This followed what seemed like slap-cheek virus, which was going around our community.The peds decided she didn't need antiviral, and the sore has slowly been going away. Since then she's been really enjoying her sleep (more than normal), but eating and playing as per normal.This is an anxious question: she seems to be getting much better. However, she talks about how she enjoys her naps, which is a little odd.Should we be concerned about her fatigue or is that in keeping with this initial encounter with the herpes simplex virus?Other than slightly longer naps and an expression of liking naps all of sudden, she seems fine.It's such an odd virus I feel at a loss to know what's normal.Thanks!
hello. my wife just gave birth to our baby in greece and he is 26 days old. the doctors say he is skin herpes but it isnt in his blood and he is receiving treatment. my wife and i do not have herpes but i am very worried and i m curious if this is another form of herpes and is he will have it for the rest of his life

Some States have good samaritin laws were you are required to render aid at an accident etc... would these apply here?
I don't think they are enforced in Alabama much just something to add to the charges if some one leaves the scene of an accident.

PAGES IN FOUR SECTIONS Price'15 Ccnls Associated Prws Station Operator Repaying Customers With Dime Gas CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) Gasoline at 10 cents per gal- lon? That was Bill Gallagher's price Thursday and he pumped about gallons in three hours. "I lost a few grand he said after the rush ended and police cleaved the traffic jam around his suburban Lakewood service station. Gallagher hit on the idea af- ter the Federal Enegry Ad- minislration last summer gave him seven months to repay to his gasoline custom- ers. The government figured that was what Gallagher had overcharged them-. Gallagher did nol deny he was overcharging customers' earlier Ihls year according lo ceiling prices set by the gov- ernment. But he said maxi- mum prices were unfair. So Gallagher, using, a bit .of showmanship, crudely lettered a .large cardboard sigiv read- ing "GAS 10 cenls per gal." and popped it outside his sta- tion. Customers s w a r in e d like flies on honey. "The police were going lo put me in said Gallagh- er, 56.

U.S. District Judge George L. Hart Jr. .said the jail sen- tences were handed out to de- ter others from making illegal corporate campaign donations. Hart sentenced Harold S. Nelson and David'L. Parr to three years in jail but immedi- ately suspended all but four months of Ihe lerm. He also fined them both scheduled them lo begin serv- ing their sentences Nov. 8 at the federal prison compound al-Montgomery, Ala.

Both were toppled from, power, in an internal struggle al Ihe'co-op in early 1972, be- fore Ihe contribution scandals were exposed.

"Is Ihcre no violation by Ihe Hart asked, "Some of these even Is arc under active replied Asst. Special Prosecu- tor John Kale. Sale declined to elaborate.

Both Nelson and Parr could have been sentenced to a max- imum of five years in prison. Lawyers tor Nelson and Parr pleaded with Hart nol to impose jail terms. Corporate officials so far have received only fines for making corpo- rate donations. Nelson's lawyer, Anlhony Nicholas of San Antonio, said Nelson is a lawj-cr, has an excellent family background and a good education and has been punished enough already. Parr's lawyer made a similar appeal. Both Nelson and Parr apolo- gized lo the judge for Ilic crime.' "I deeply regrel my participation in Hie event Ihnl led to my being here Nelson said.

Leaving Judgements Behind Makes Us More Mindful Eaters
Meet IzaanAli, my three-year-old. He loves his food and you can see just how much!
Healthy toddlers are naturally mindful eaters. They are aware when they are hungry and stop eating when they are full. They engage with their food and savor every bite!
But that is not the case for the majority of us...
How many of us find ourselves sitting in front of the television or computer whilst eating our meal? Before we even know it, we've completely finished. Do you remember what your last meal tasted like? Some of us may not even recall eating it.
Sound familiar?
I reckon many of us have experienced this lack of awareness or memory lapse at some point. With long days at work, busy lives, and food available everywhere we turn, eating is often done mindlessly.
The result?
We eat more! Mindless eating can lead to weight issues, ill-health, and an unhealthy relationship with our body and food. Such absent-minded eating habits prevent our brains from capturing the memory of what we ate. We continue to eat more throughout the day in search for the satisfaction-factor.
What's the solution?
Growing evidence shows that mindful eating could be the answer. Yes, mindless eating versus mindful eating. It is that simple! What's more, this practice of savoring our meals with greater awareness has benefits beyond the physical.
So, what's mindful eating?
Mindful eating is having a greater connection with your body and with your food as you enjoy the experience of eating with intent and attention. It's about leaving judgements behind, discarding the labels we may attach to our bodies and food.
Any of these ring a bell?
This is going to make me fat!
This is so bad and unhealthy!
So this mindful eating business sounds pretty great right? So why aren't more of us practicing it? Is it because we perceive it to be painstakingly time-consuming and unrealistic?
As a working parent with young children, my mindful eating practice doesn't involve sitting down for 30 minutes at every meal. Nor do I expect calm and serenity at meal times to engage with the experience of eating. There are no hard and fast rules. I have accepted the fact that happy chaos is the norm. The important element for us has been eating with intent and attention. And yes, you can achieve that even when life is chaotic!
I believe mindful eating doesn't have to be hard. As you sit and eat your next meal, consider practicing these eight tips to cultivate a more loving, nourishing relationship with your food and with your body.
- Recognize true hunger. It is important to identify if you are truly hungry or if it is an emotional desire. I often say to my patients, "If you eat to fight emotions, you can never win!" Simply said, food can't satisfy emotional hunger. Eating may feel good in the moment, but the emotions that triggered the eating will remain. True hunger is physical and usually starts in the stomach. Recognize the signs and eat when you are truly hungry.
- Less time? Less food! Portion your food based on the time you have to consume it. It's important to avoid rushing through your meal and feeling hurried. Take the time to enjoy a smaller portion mindfully.
- Breathe in. Hold. Breathe out. This is preparation to calm your mind and ground yourself before eating. This is an important step in preparing you to engage with your body and your meal. This will help to centre you from a "human doing" to a "human being." Deep breathing is a powerful tool to heighten our senses and awareness at mealtimes.
- First, eat with your eyes. Notice the food on your plate. What does it look like? What are the different textures? As a family, we often try and guess every ingredient in the dish. This helps us engage with our food and keeps our attention on our meal.
- Consciously chew. Take the time to chew well, and enjoy the release of flavours from every bite. What's more, you're likely to notice when you are full. Gulping food down without chewing can trigger unpleasant symptoms, like bloating, gas and indigestion.
- Tune in with your fullness scale. Consider rating your level of fullness from zero to 10. Zero means "I'm starving" and feeling overstuffed equals a 10. Aim for a seven, and avoid being at the far end of either side of the scale.
- Silence the mind chatter. This can help train your mind and body to be compassionate, non-judgemental and to enjoy being present in the moment. If you are having difficulty controlling your thoughts, make a note of what is distracting you. Park it! You can always return to it after your meal.
- Offer gratitude. Take the time either before or after your meal to be thankful. Counting your blessings is yet another way to bring attention to the present moment. It brings positivity to your experiences and boosts physical and mental health.
Remember, mastery comes with practice. These eight tips will help set you on your journey to become a mindful eater -- even more like a toddler perhaps!

You also deserve to be happy, healthy, and comfortable in your body! "Rewarding yourself with food is a dangerous habit that is often started in childhood by well-meaning parents," says Susan Albers Psy.D., psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic and author of But I Deserve this Chocolate. "Caregivers tend to reward things like good grades with ice cream and special meals. A real reward is fitting well into your pants." Also, if you reward yourself with food, you're more likely to use it as punishment too (you missed your deadline, so no dinner!). This sets a bad biological precedent, says Darryl Bushard, a sports nutrition specialist and certified weight loss coach for Lifetime Fitness. "The 'reward cascade' involves the release of serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter. So when you reward yourself with junk food, what you are doing is programming a good emotion around bad foods."

"Everyone has plenty of slip-ups throughout their lifetime," Bushard says. "It isn't a matter of whether or not you've made a mistake but rather whether you let that mistake snowball or choose to just get back on course." Remember that each bite is a choice. There is a lot of "grey area" between perfect and ruined, Albers adds. "Think of your actions to be on a continuum instead of all or nothing. Just skipping a few bites can make a big difference in the long run." Flickr photo by Social_Stratification
"Research indicates that people actually underestimate the amount they eat by about 40 percent if you are overweight and 20 percent if you are at a normal weight," Albers says. It's true that exercise does give us a little more leeway to splurge, but keep in mind that a three-mile run (at a quick pace -- 10 min/mile) will take you 30 minutes, and you'll burn about 307 calories (based on a 135-pound woman). That's about the equivalent of a grande Green Tea Frappuccino. Bushard adds that this strategy can actually hurt your workouts, saying that "by splurging (normally with sugary foods) you'll increase inflammation and slow down recovery." Flickr photo by DAV.es
Albers agrees that some chocolate has healthy properties. According to a recent study by a Yale researcher, 1 ounce of dark chocolate (at least 60 percent cacao) can have health benefits and boost your mood, she says. The problem is that we tend to eat cheap chocolate mindlessly, popping it into our mouth without much thought. "Buy the most expensive chocolate you can afford," Albers says. Bushard adds, "Choose 80 percent cacao dark chocolate or more to reap the health benefits, otherwise you are just consuming chocolate-flavored sugar." Flickr photo by Chocolate Reviews
"A study published in the journal Appetite found that foods like chocolate make us feel less stressed for only three minutes and then the feeling completely fades," Albers says. Stress eating also increases your stress in the long run. The stress hormone, cortisol, makes you crave sugary, fatty food. When you eat sugary treats, your blood sugar spikes and then drops causing you to be more irritable. "The good news is that you can reduce cortisol in natural ways without any calories whatsoever -- sipping black tea, exercise, yoga poses, self-massage and soothing music," Albers says. Flickr photo by heliosphan
"She's thin, but is she healthy?" Bushard asks. More importantly, it's dangerous to compare yourself to celebrities and friends. "You often see just a snapshot of their eating habits and not what they are eating behind closed doors," Albers says. "The bottom line is that you can't judge how healthy someone's diet is by their weight. Weight is not a perfect reflection of health. Not to mention that our intake needs are based on a complex blend of height, weight, exercise level, etc. Focus on what works for you, no one else. Be the best version of you!"
"Life can be even shorter if you aren't eating healthy foods," Albers says. "Remember that obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death after smoking. If you find yourself falling for this line, consider whether you are depriving yourself too much. Balance healthy foods with small portions of yummy snacks. You're right -- life is too short to give up good foods. Instead, savor small portions of the treats you love." Delicious food can be in the eyes, er, tastebuds of the beholder, Bushard says. "Fresh, healthy foods taste much better than junk if you take just a little time to learn what those foods are and how to prepare them." Flickr photo by jamieanne
Diet drinks have been linked to obesity and a higher risk of stroke, and the artificial sweeteners in them can increase sugar cravings and actually warp your taste buds, Albers says. These artificial sweeteners are sometimes 300-600 times sweeter than the sugar we find in natural foods. "The good news is that our taste buds are very malleable. They can change in short periods of time. If you feel 'addicted' to any food, it's likely that it's partly the chemical properties but also the psychological effects you're getting from the food. Try stepping away from diet coke for two weeks. Notice what happens emotionally and physically." Albers suggests. "You might be hooked on the caffeine and the super sweet taste. Giving it up briefly can make you crave it less in the long run." Brushard offers alternatives: "Drink coffee or green tea if you need a caffeine boost or try sparkling water if it's the carbonation you enjoy so much." Flickr photo by ozmafan
"So you mean a smart girl?" Bushard laughs, pointing out that you can set a good example. "Take pride in the choices you make and stand up for your health!" Also, women have to be careful of matching men bite for bite, Albers adds. Research indicates that we tend to unconsciously match the way our eating partner eats, but your boyfriend and guy friends have higher caloric needs. "Salad is a great option. Beef it up with a high-quality protein, steak, chicken, garbanzo beans, etc. It's likely that you are more judgmental of what you eat than he is," Albers says. Flickr photo by Mr. T in DC
"Do you want it to go to waste or to your waist? Imagine carrying around a trash bag full of the extra bites you've saved," Albers says. No one wants to throw away perfectly good food, so focus on preventing waste as you are cooking and ordering rather than after the fact. "Cook just enough food for everyone to have a portion -- no extra. Or box up the leftovers for lunch the next day. Think strategically," Albers says. Flickr photo by tuchodi
"It's true that you can feel very uncomfortable during your period. What you are likely seeking during your period is comfort and soothing. Use a hot water bottle, wear comfy clothes, relax, take a hot bath. In the long run, this will be much more soothing and comforting to your body than feeding it extra calories," Albers says. "Plus, overeating can add to bloating rather than reduce it." Bushard is a proponent of food as medicine. "Eating cruciferous veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale will encourage estrone (the bad sex hormone) detoxification and help alleviate cravings and your discomfort."
Albers points out the huge flaw in this thinking: "Research indicates that we are 57 percent more likely to be overweight if our friends are overweight. We are highly impacted by our friends and the people that we eat with." So even if you feel like you're eating a lot less than those around you, it can still be a skewed sample. Ask your doctor for a recommendation on what is a healthy weight for you. Flickr photo by somegeekintn
This one can apply to a wide range of healthy foods gone horribly wrong (vegetable tempura, spinach and artichoke dip and even many salads). "Even the healthiest foods can be turned into something unhealthy by the way we prepare it," Albers says. "If you are craving pizza, go for the veggie or the whole-wheat version. But be honest with yourself. If pizza is what you love and crave, that is okay. Just eat mindful portions. Recent research indicates that 'accepting' rather than pushing away cravings helps to reduce them. It sounds counterintuitive but fighting with yourself leads to poorer decisions." Flickr photo by aSIMULAtor
Albers dismisses this claim, saying that while many fat-free products make us feel better about eating them, a study out of Cornell found that we fall for what is known as the 'health halo.' When we think a food is 'healthier,' we tend to eat more of it and ultimately end up taking in more calories than we would from foods perceived as less healthy. "This study makes a good case for being even more careful of your portion sizes when you believe the food is 'healthy.' Check the back of the package to make sure it is truly nutritious, not just a marketing ploy." Bushard adds, "Don't be afraid of fat! We need to consume more good fats. These fats are crucial to keep our metabolism healthy." Flickr photo by Cubosh
"Convenience food can be one of our biggest downfalls. First step is a kitchen makeover; clear out all processed foods. Foods that can last months in our cabinets have so many preservatives they'd probably also survive a nuclear holocaust! Do you want that in your body?" Bushard asks. To avoid mindless overeating, focus on this mantra from Albers: "Eat food with purpose, on purpose.
