I used to think that I was against this parenting method, but I've started trying it recently with good results....calmer kid (age 4) and calmer mom!
Knowing that there aren't necessarily "rights" and "wrongs" to this issue, what do you think are some of the pros and cons to "time outs?"

I think that the pros/cons would depend on the individual child. A very social child could view time out as solitary confinement while another less social child would spend the time destressing and calming down. So for the very social child a time out with the parent would be more productive and spending time alone would be more productive to the loner child.
And to add in my personal definition and use of time out, time outs are/were used to remove the child from the situation, give them (and me) time to cool off so that a meaningful conversation can take place. We have also put toys in time out to remove the cause of the conflict.
Time outs are slippery things! I have never been able to convince my kids that a time out is for everyone's benefit, not a punishment. However, one thing that works wonders (maybe because I don't do it very often) is when I give MYSELF a time out. I tell them that they are draining my energy or making too much noise or whatever and I need a few minutes by myself to calm down and regroup. Instant angels!
I also think that if it's working for your LO, there is your answer! There are lots of things I thought I would never do *cough* behavior charts *cough* -- until my very spirited youngest came along and all my fancy parenting principles went right out the window.

I think time outs are awesome for certain situations. If a child needs to chill out and gather themselves it's great. But, if the child threw playdough, timeout is ineffective. I prefer to use "well, now you are done playing with playdough".
I have a group situation though, so it's different for me. I've noticed that if a time out is needed, it's usually ME that wants the time out from everybody. Not so much the children.
like pps i'd say depends on the kid.
timeouts would have been devastating for my child. but at 5 when she was at her worst she understood that words could hurt. so when she was mad she would herself put herself in timeout. before that at around 4 i would put myself in timeout so as to not react by lashing out.
i have never said - go to your room. instead dd storms off to her room, gathers herself and then comes out much calmer.
before 5 for dd there were no pros. the cons were being alone which made dd feel extremely abandoned.
I've done two kinds of time out:
The "you've done X and so you have to have a timeout" and the "you need to go to your room until you can be civil" kind of timeout. I've also done "Mommy timeouts," i.e., "I'm soooo mad at you right now that I'm going to put you in your crib until I calm down and can be trusted with you" which became "I'm going into my room for awhile until I calm down" when my kids became older and it wasn't dangerous to leave them alone.
I will say that for me, the first kind felt very very wrong. It's punitive. It involved a lot of us repeatedly bringing the child back to their room to 'serve' the timeout, and a lot of fighting over the actual timeout. I'm pretty sure that my kids learned nothing from those and that they didn't help our relationship very much. The good news is that we that these weren't very productive early on, and so we didn't do them very much. Usually they were a sign that we were at the end of our rope. We did a few for each kid around age 3-5, learned with each kid that no, they don't really work, and move on.
We still do the calm down kind of timeout. I think it's very useful for antisocial behavior (hitting), interminable whining, and general crankiness. Our kids have learned from this. Ds will stomp off to his bedroom when he's angry, as will I. Dd will sometimes go to her room, but usually she likes to share her pain. Often, we'll have to send her off after we've hit our limit of hearing her latest complaint. When she comes back she'll be in a position where she can begin to talk about the issue.
Two things I think are important:
1. If you do the calm down kind of time out, make sure that you reconnect afterward. This isn't a punishment. This is a time for you to gather yourself or to get less stimulation so you can calm down. We're not banishing you from the family, and we're happy to see you when you're back.
2. If you are thinking about timeout, think about what you're trying to teach your child. A timeout is usually too indirect to teach a child to pick up after themselves or to not draw on the walls. They're not going to get that connection easily. But I think it works pretty well to teach them to take the space they need to calm down, or to give their family a break when emotions are overwhelming.
we don't do time outs.. we try to do unconditional parenting for the most part. my kid's a toddler, though, so take it fwiw. i did try a "time in" the other day, and it totally blew my socks off that it worked. IT WORKED. so, i think for us, having luckily stumbled on something that works, so far, we don't need to go with anything else.
I have worked with kids of a variety of ages, though not my own, and I'm of the opinion that time outs for the kids just doesn't work. The kid usually reacts in one of two ways: either getting MORE angry at not being allowed to explain or get attention (which from what I've seen is about 80% of the problem in the first place) or shutting down and blowing up later. I think (and this is if people use time out for calming down) those little emotions need to come out. I think not necessarily talking about the immediate problem right then is important, but letting that kid have your full attention and gaze.
Then, later, at a calmer point and when the kid can look at the situation from a different point of view is the time to discuss.. what could have happened differently in the situation. role playing helps, too.
now, time out for a parent is a different situation. if you're so angry you're going to blow a gasket, walking away and cooling off can be the best thing for the parent to do.
If you're using time outs, and they don't seem to work, seriously, give a time in a go. i really had my doubts that it would work, too, but figured it was worth a shot. holy heck, i am so glad i did. (then again.. if the kid has pushed your buttons already to the point where a time in is only going to be you glaring at the kid and angry, then YOU take a time out and explain why.. and THEN try the time in.)
Is it getting lonely in the echo chamber yet?
So am I the only parent who's clueless about what a "time in" looks like? What is it that you do in a time in, Hildare?
i am guessing the 'time in' is what lynn talks about - the reconnecting afterwards.
so instead of going away you both sit and reconnect.
that is if i get it right. if so then yeah... time ins definitely were for us when she was younger. and time outs came in later by her choice.
well.. again, dd is pretty small, 20 mos. so for us, this looks like mommy picking her up and taking her away from the source of her tantrum, and engaging her with something else. Just giving her complete attention. Rocking, cuddling, etc. if the situation calls for it.
Then when the fit is over, later, we can talk about how to do things differently. Using small words, i think she 'gets' it. i've also used her little animals to role play with her somewhat. (though she thinks it's completely hilarious to put one animal in particular in a time out ) i've learned it does no good to try to talk about it when she's mad. the same with older kids, too..
For older kids, I've read about a waldorf approach (kids can't use their heads to understand frustration but their hands can work to help, something like that) is to give them something to drum or make a rhythm on. i'm not a waldorf parent, though.. maybe someone else can speak to that?
And.. the time in stuff comes from unconditional parenting. For older children, they can help come up with ways to solve the problem.. a time in could be a walk or a change of scene, too.
I think the idea behind the time ins is just reconnecting. Seriously, most of the behaviors that people seem to use time outs for are basically attention-seeking. time ins can allow an answer to the attention seeking, and let the kids know that their needs are being met, even if they can't or won't express those desires for reconnection/attention.
i was really surprised that it worked so well for us, too, like i said.. i just thought it was some interesting theory that i'd give a shot. i think some of the playful parenting stuff that people like so much are kind of a form of this, too.. giving attention with humor.
Is it getting lonely in the echo chamber yet?
Thanks for explaining! I guess we did time-ins intuitively, but didn't know it had a name or concept behind it.
I always try to reconnect once she's done with a major major tantrum, especially since we do do time out sometimes when she did something looking right at us as we were telling her not to do it and why she shouldn't do it. We did time ins so she would know it was her behavior, not her herself, that was not ok.
I'd be interested to hear more about the Waldorf idea on this, I don't know any Waldorf parents. Any reading this thread?

This is where you really do need to know your child. I suspect the age of the child makes a difference as well. For our older child, trying something like a time-in where he got my full-on attention when he was upset would fuel the fire. It didn't matter if I wasn't talking about the issue that he was mad about, he needed space to calm down. (This is the same child who slept best in his own bed with his blanket over his face; the same child whose idea of 'snuggling' was/is being about 2 feet away from me on the bed. There is a pattern for him.) Thus, for him, 'time out' in his room (or another space, it didn't have to be his room) gave him the space that he needed to calm down. We always reconnected afterward -- sometimes we talk about what went wrong, sometimes we just went on our way.
For our younger child, it's trickier. Often what she needs is a hug and a sympathetic ear, and so the 'time in' described here works well. At other times she's so out of control that she needs to separation (she hits when she's out of control). She needs the lack of social contact to be able to get her body under control. Very often, she'll go off to our room, throw herself on our bed, and get it out of her system. Then she'll pick up a book, start to read and be OK.
I think it also changes as they get older. A child under 2 is still pretty easily distracted. Once they hit 3, they can get pretty focused on what they want, and their memories improve. My kids, at least, would remember things for a very long time. (Dd still holds grudges about something that happened with a neighbor 3 years ago . She's only 7.) When they're less distractable, you might need to shift your responses.
And just for everyone's information, even the experts who advocate time out will not (or should not) advocate them for children under 3 because they don't have the memory to link the time out with the 'offense'. Thus, the only thing that should be done with a child under 3 is a time-in, distraction or some other technique. Personally, I wouldn't do timeout for any age except if the child needs it to calm down, or for anti-social behavior.
For me, I a "time in" is just time where I sit with the child whose behaviour is at issue. We don't talk or anything - just sit together quietly for a few minutes. But, I didn't pick up the term from anywhere...just seemed like a good way to describe it, as opposed to a "time out" where I send the child off alone.
I do some time outs with ds2. They don't really seem to accomplish anything...but nothing else does, either. I'm usually frustrated enough to want to smack him at least once a day, so I feel time outs are a less harmful alternative, even if they have nothing else going for them.

"time in" has always worked best for my daughter. i'm Buddhist and she's done yoga and meditation in my arms since birth, then along with me as she's grown. i've noticed she only has behavior problems when she's overstimulated, hungry or thirsty, or frustrated by her youth somehow. during or after the time in we talk about her frustration. if she can't say what's wrong, i set her up with crayons and paper so she can "draw it out." a few times she's just needed a really good cry to get out all the "big" feelings. i either hold her while she cries, or sometimes she'll go to her room and stomp around and hit the bed and pillows, then she'll come back and sit next to me. for a while she wanted to sit in her little chair (she saw a friend getting time out at their house), she'd drag it somewhere just out of my sight and i'd hear her taking great big deep breaths. then i'd let her know when "time was up" by counting one minute per year. last year it wasn't effective any longer and she wanted back in my arms for time-in, so that's what we do now.
i say, whatever works, works! careful observation is needed to figure out what your child really responds to, and it can change from day to day, even hour to hour. sometimes they need guided physical activities - like jumping up and down, crab-walking, etc. - to help quiet their body before they can process anything emotionally.
i wonder how many parents introduce the concept of meditation to their kids? and at what age? we don't do anything formal or fancy, nothing like Zen mind-emptying. we do just plain "mindful meditation." letting thoughts happen quietly, choosing not to act on them until we feel calm enough. also practicing deep abdominal breathing. so that any form of discipline includes thinking about what went wrong and how to make it better. she likes meditation so much she teaches other kids how to meditate! they get a little "quiet circle" going outside sometimes.

2 1/2 years old. however it happened by accident. after my separation a year before i was looking for 'something'. and i found meditation. at a church. i didnt enjoy anything else at the church. i had tried it on my own earlier and i knew i needed a teacher a group. the class started at 6 pm. i would get there earlier with dd to put her in the daycare. she absolutely refused. she refused to stay over at her dads. she wanted to be with me. that's when i told her well she could come with me but she would have to be quiet - not to distract anyone else. the group was open to trying having dd there. every. single. time. dd would meditate for a few minutes after prayer and then fall asleep. deep dead to teh world sleep till we were done an hour later.
we then found the temple which felt like home where meditation was the base when dd was 4 and she started sunday school there a couple of times a month.
to say i am grateful for meditation is an understatement. dd has high anxiety. stomach aches and headaches. she is also a natural worrier and struggles to breath when she starts panicking. prayer and meditation has really helped her calm her down. when she got lost at a local fair she sat and meditated. when she took public transport all by herself recently which she had been begging me for years, the first time she prayed and meditated as seh was so scared even though she knew the route and stops like the back of her hands.
i really do feel meditation has been a gift. i hope its something that will remain with her always. starting so young i see it as a natural path - a great coping skill. she is an oddball, weird and kids sometimes are v. cruel towards her. meditation helps her cope. meditation has helped when she feels deep pain and sadness. however i will say we still need to figure out how to get her to use it when she gets angry.
i have also explored other kinds of meditation with her- like walking meditation. and she came up with homework meditation (hates hw).
i am guessing the 'time in' is what lynn talks about - the reconnecting afterwards.
so instead of going away you both sit and reconnect.
that is if i get it right. if so then yeah... time ins definitely were for us when she was younger. and time outs came in later by her choice.
This is where we are right now. Ds is 4. These days when he has a meltdown, he goes into the bedroom and comes out about 15 minutes later with a smile on his face and kisses and hugs and an apology. When he was younger, dh or I would take him to the bedroom and talk him through it for I guess what would be considered a "time in".
Yes, I found it to be far more effective method than discussing things to death. It is really not possible to discuss anything with anyone in the middle of tantrum. In fact, my children started removing themselves to the bedroom and asked to be left alone at a rather early age. Time outs are for everyone. My kids have time to calm down in the bedroom. I have time to calm down in the living room. they come out, say apologies for their behavior and sometime they agree with us, other time they propose a logical compromise we can all live with. My point to them is "We not dicussing anything until you are calm"
And yes, if one of them repeteadly doing something I asked them to stop, they are sent to their room.
It's been a long time since I had to consider "time outs" as a tactic (I have teenagers), so I didn't think I had much to say on the topic. I haven't read through the thread. This post reminded me that sometimes I found a quiet time (time out, if you will) to be effective in preventing a tantrum. If I saw the warning signs of frustration and pending meltdown, suggesting a little solitary time to breathe and relax helped a lot. It wasn't really meant as a punishment, but I'm sure it looked like a time out to anyone else.
Well, every kids is different. My older son, when he was young, would go from calm to explosive in 15 seconds. But, he is not like 99% of other kids. He had bipolar disorder
Yep, they are all different. And for some, sending them off for a quiet time might provoke a tantrum, not prevent, because they get a chance to seethe over perceived wrongs. Who knows? That's why every parent has to try things on their own children. The results can surprise.
I just thought I'd add my 2cents on when and how it worked for us.
DS is only 27 months, but when he's displaying some sort of undesirable behavior, one of us removes him from the situation, sits him down, and explains why what he's doing isn't acceptable. He's old enough now that he gets what we're saying and he's able to tell us that he's ready to be nice to the dog/mommy/daddy, stop banging on the window, etc.
When he's done something that makes me really angry, I send him to sit on the couch for his own safety while I calm down and/or clean up whatever catastrophic mess he's made.
He usually knows when he's caught doing something wrong so he'll say "Silas Kenni!" (Silas Mackenzie, his first and middle name, the dreaded Mom's Angry combination) and go running for the couch by himself. The cuteness usually erases my anger immediately so I go to him and talk about whatever it is that he's done.
Both situations always end with snuggles.
I suppose we do something like a "time in". DS is 2 & very spirited. And we do follow "unconditional parenting" for the most part. I'll often tell him he's not listening well or not being gentle & give him a hug while explaining why we have to change activities (he's very focused so distraction doesn't really work). If he's having a really hard time with a particular situation, we usually retreat to the "safety" of his room to calm down together. Lately, though, he's been catching himself & just telling me that he wants to go in his crib with some books.... It's his own quiet time.
And, yes, I often need a time out myself...
You know, I really don't think "time outs" bother me, as long as they're not punitive. I think every child & every situation needs it's own tools. The only thing that really bothers me is hearing "time outs" used as a threat ("do this or you're getting a time out") or, again, when they're used punitively & the child is left to cry alone. But that leaves a lot of room for developing approaches that work for all sorts of kids & families.
Mama to my little busy bee.
I like that she regulates herself and that I am teachng her a useful skill for her whole life rather than just trying to get her to acquiesse.
So for me, I've done ok without them. I see why people use them though and I do think they can be used gently and as a part of GD.
I will add to be fair that I grew up in a home with a sometimes abusive alcoholic, and because of that I sometimes feel natural reactions that are outside of the reality of what my kids give me, and need to separate myself for a time being because, frankly, I feel an urge to hit them. So I briefly separate myself to protect them, and I don't doubt that has at times felt to them like they were given a time out as it's still a separation. But I've decided that's the best choice available to me at those times. The older one is well past all that, and the little one is quiet, so it hasn't come up in a long time, but certainly it was an occasional occurrence when the older one was younger. Though tantrums weren't a trigger for me - I found I usually just empathized with her loss of control. I can't remember what specifically triggered the feeling. It was probably more about me than them.
I do both with my son (4). Right now we are in a new-baby transition stage and he has been at grandparents/getting lots of big brother presents, so it has been fairly difficult. Talking it out is my first approach. We talk about what happened, why it was inappropriate, what is appropriate and why. However, if he decides to continually do things that he is aware after our talk; then he is sent to time out. A lot of times that works better than trying to talk it out with him- simply because it shows that I mean business and he WILL get in trouble if the behavior continues. Prior to the chaos of the new baby a simple talk and then a warning of time out would cause a change in behavior. I feel like if you tell the kid why they are in time out, not to do said behavior again and give hugs/kisses after; then it is a productive time out. However, putting a kid in time out w/o elaborating on why they are there is pretty useless.
We "take a break" instead of "time out". It's not necessarily a punishment, we don't have a time out chair, or corner or anything like that. It's just a break, to take a few moments to calm down and regroup. I haven't had to use it too much at home, but when I taught Montessori preschool we had a little rug with a 3min. hourglass along with a few little solitary activities. My favorite was a little rubber duck. They could lay down on the rug with the duck on their tummy and watch it go up and down with each breath. It was a great way to get them to focus and take deep breaths to calm down. It worked very well!

For those of you who teach meditation or deep breathing to pre-verbal children, how do you go about it?

See my post above. :) I used that technique with preschoolers, but I'm sure it would work with pre-verbal children as well.
Sarah, partner to J and mom to DD1 April 30th, 2002 and DD2 May 5th, 2012.
I used to be totally against time-outs, but now I see that they can be really useful if they are used as a tool instead of a punishment. I don't threaten my daughter with time-out, but if she's just too psycho, she NEEDS to be somewhere to calm down. Time-out can be for as long as she wants it to be. She sits on the bed in the bedroom and when she feels ready to come out and be her sweet self again, she comes out. I don't set a timer, because it isn't a punishment.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: I think it's very important that she sees me having time out. When I get very angry with her, instead of yelling at her, I tell her I'm angry and so I need to have a time-out and calm down. I go to the bed and sit with a book and she will come in to check on me periodically to ask if I'm feeling better. It's good for me because I get time away from her to calm down and it's good for her because she see's that it's not a punishment. It can help someone feel better.

Handling Native Effects with the Eff Monad
In this post, I'm going to talk about PureScript's hybrid approach to handling side-effects.
As in Haskell, values in PureScript do not have side-effects by default, and there are a number of techniques for handling "non-native" side-effects. Such techniques include the use of things like monoids, monads, applicative functors and arrows, but I'm not going to talk about those here. I'm going to talk about how PureScript handles "native" effects, i.e. effects which are provided by the runtime system, and which cannot be emulated by pure functions.
Some examples of native effects are:
- Console IO
- Random number generation
- Exceptions
- Reading/writing mutable state
And in the browser:
- DOM manipulation
- XMLHttpRequest / AJAX calls
- Interacting with a websocket
- Writing/reading to/from local storage
The Eff Monad
purescript-eff package defines a monad called
Eff, which is used to handle native effects. The goal of the
Eff monad is to provide a typed API for effectful computations, while at the same time generating efficient Javascript.
Let's start with an example:
module RandomExample where
import Prelude
import Control.Monad.Eff
import Control.Monad.Eff.Random (random)
import Control.Monad.Eff.Console (logShow)
printRandom = do
n <- random
logShow n
This example requires the
purescript-console and
purescript-random dependencies to be installed:
pulp init
bower install --save purescript-console purescript-random
If you save this file as
src/RandomExample.purs, you will be able to compile and run it using PSCi:
pulp psci
> import RandomExample
> printRandom
You should see a randomly selected number between 0 and 1 printed to the console.
This program uses
do-notation to combine two types of native effects provided by the Javascript runtime: random number generation and console IO.
Extensible Records and Extensible Effects
We can inspect the type of
printRandom by using the
:type command
> import RandomExample
> :type printRandom
The type of
printRandom will be printed to the console. You should see a type which looks like this:
forall e. Eff (console :: CONSOLE, random :: RANDOM | e) Unit
This type looks quite complicated, but is easily explained by analogy with PureScript's extensible records system.
Consider a simple function which uses extensible records:
fullName person = person.firstName <> " " <> person.lastName
This function creates a full name string from an object containing
firstName and
lastName properties. If you find the type of this function in PSCi as before, you will see this:
forall t. { firstName :: String, lastName :: String | t } -> String
The readable version of this type is "
fullName takes an object with
firstName and
lastName properties and any other properties and returns a
That is,
fullName does not care if you pass an object with more properties, as long as the
firstName and
lastName properties are present:
> fullName { firstName: "Phil", lastName: "Freeman", location: "Los Angeles" }
Phil Freeman
Similarly, the type of
printRandom above can be interpreted as follows: "
printRandom is an effectful computation, which can be run in any environment which supports random number generation and console IO, and any other types of side effect, and which yields a value of type
This is the origin of the name "extensible effects": we can always extend the set of side-effects, as long as we can support the set of effects that we need.
Interleaving Effects
This extensibility allows code in the
Eff monad to interleave different types of effects.
random function which we used has the following type:
forall e1. Eff (random :: RANDOM | e1) Number
which is not the same as the type of
However, we can instantiate the polymorphic type variable in such a way that the types do match. If we choose
e1 ~ (console :: CONSOLE | e), then the two rows are equal, up to reordering.
logShow has a type which can be instantiated to match the type of
forall a e2. Show a => a -> Eff (console :: CONSOLE | e2) Unit
This time we have to choose
e2 ~ random :: RANDOM | e.
The key is that we don't have to give a type for
printRandom in order to be able to find these substitutions.
psc will find a most general type for
printRandom given the polymorphic types of
random and
Aside: The Kind of Eff
Looking at the source code, you will see the following definition for
foreign import Eff :: # ! -> * -> *
* is the usual kind of types, and
! is the kind of effects. The
# kind constructor is used to construct kinds for rows, i.e. unordered, labelled collections.
Eff is parameterized by a row of effects, and a return type.
If we were to give a kind to the object type constructor
{ ... }, it would have kind
# * -> *. That is, an object type is parameterized by a row of types.
Fine-Grained Effects
Type annotations are usually not required when using
Eff, since rows of effects can be inferred, but they can be used to indicate to the compiler which effects are expected in a computation.
If we annotate the previous example with a closed row of effects:
main :: Eff (console :: CONSOLE, random :: RANDOM) Unit
main = do
n <- random
logShow n
(note the lack of a type variable here), then we cannot accidentally include a subcomputation which makes use of a different type of effect. This is an advantage of
Eff over Haskell's more coarsely-grained
IO monad.
Handlers and Actions
Rows of effects can also appear on the left-hand side of a function arrow. This is what differentiates actions like
logShow and
random from effect handlers.
While actions add to the set of required effects, a handler
subtracts effects from the set.
catchException from the
purescript-exceptions package:
:: forall a e
. (Error -> Eff e a)
-> Eff (err :: EXCEPTION | e) a
-> Eff e a
Note that the type of the effect on the right of the final function arrow requires fewer effects than the effect to its left. Namely,
catchException removes the
EXCEPTION effect from the set of required effects.
This is useful, because the type system can be used to delimit portions of code which require a particular effect, and then to wrap that code in a handler, embedding it inside a piece of code which does not use that effect.
For example, we can write a piece of code which uses exceptions, then wrap that code using
catchException to embed the computation in a piece of code which does not use exceptions.
purescript-eff also defines the handler
runPure, which takes a computation with no side-effects, and safely evaluates it as a pure value:
type Pure a = Eff () a
runPure :: forall a. Pure a -> a
For example, we can define a version of the division function for which division by zero results in an exception:
module ErrorsExample where
import Prelude
import Control.Monad.Eff (Eff)
import Control.Monad.Eff.Exception (EXCEPTION, throw)
divide :: forall e. Int -> Int -> Eff (err :: EXCEPTION | e) Int
divide _ 0 = throw "Division by zero"
divide n m = pure (n / m)
If we have already defined this function, we can use the
runPure and
catchException handlers to define a version of
divide which reports its errors using
import Data.Either
dividePure :: Int -> Int -> Either String Int
dividePure n m = runPure (catchException (pure <<< Left <<< message) (Right <$> divide n m))
Note that after we use
catchException to remove the
EXCEPTION effect, there are no more effects remaining, so we can use
runPure to evaluate the return value.
Defining New Effect Types
New effects can be defined using
foreign import data just as in the case of types.
Suppose we wanted to define an effect for incrementing a single shared global counter. We simply declare the kind of our new type constructor to be
foreign import data COUNTER :: !
We can then use our new effect in an action. Primitive actions are usually defined using the FFI, so it is important to understand the underlying model for
Eff-based effects.
A computation of type
Eff e a is implemented in Javascript as a zero-argument function whose body is expected to perform its side effects, before finally returning its result.
We can therefore implement a simple action as follows:
foreign import incrCounter :: forall e. Eff (counter :: COUNTER | e) Number
and in the corresponding native module:
exports.incrCounter = function() {
return ++globalCounter;
Note the type we give to
incrCounter: we use a polymorphic type to make sure that
Counter can be interleaved with other effects.
Usually, we wouldn't write a handler for the
Counter effect, since we have no way to guarantee that the
globalCounter hasn't been modified. However, if we wanted to provide an unsafe "escape hatch" for
Counter, we might do so as follows:
foreign import unsafeRunCounter :: forall e a. Eff (counter :: COUNTER | e) a -> Eff e a
And in JavaScript:
exports.unsafeRunCounter = function(f) {
return f;
The Eff Monad is Magic
psc compiler has special support for the
Eff monad. Ordinarily, a chain of monadic binds might result in poor performance when executed in Node or in the browser. However, the compiler can generate code for the
Eff monad without explicit calls to the monadic bind function
Take the random number generation from the start of the post. If we compile this example without optimizations, we end up the following Javascript:
var main =
(function (n) {
return Control_Monad_Eff_Console.logShow(Prelude.showNumber())(n);
However, if we use the default optimizations, the calls to
Eff's monadic bind function are inlined, resulting the following tidier Javascript:
var main = function __do() {
var n = Control_Monad_Eff_Random.random();
return Control_Monad_Eff_Console.logShow(Prelude.showNumber())(n)();
While this is a small improvement, the benefit is greater when using multiple nested calls to
The improvement is even more marked when optimizations are used in conjunction with tail call elimination. Consider the following recursive program which prints an increasing sequence of numbers to the console:
go n = do
logShow n
go (n + 1)
main = go 1
Without optimizations, the compiler generates the following Javascript, which fails after a few iterations with a stack overflow:
var go =
(function (_) {
return go(n + 1);
However, with optimizations, the Javascript can be made to run without errors:
var go = function (__copy_n) {
return function __do() {
var n = __copy_n;
tco: while (true) {
var __tco_n = n + 1;
n = __tco_n;
continue tco;
Efficient Mutation with ST
psc compiler has additional support for one particular native effect, namely the
ST effect, which is used to provide scoped mutable state.
Consider the following function, which computes the total stopping time of the Collatz sequence for a given initial value:
collatz :: Int -> Int
collatz n = pureST do
r <- newSTRef n
count <- newSTRef 0
untilE do
modifySTRef count (_ + 1)
m <- readSTRef r
writeSTRef r $ if m `mod` 2 == 0 then m / 2 else 3 * m + 1
pure (m == 1)
readSTRef count
In this case,
psc notices that the mutable variables
r and
count are scoped by
runST and so can safely be turned into local mutable variables.
The resulting Javascript is surprisingly short:
var collatz = function (n) {
return Control_Monad_Eff.runPure(function __do() {
var r = n;
var count = 0;
(function () {
while (!(function __do() {
count = 1 + count;
var m = r;
r = (m % 2 === 0) ? m / 2 : 3 * m + 1;
return m === 1;
})()) { };
return {};
return count;
Eff monad provides a way to use native effects in PureScript, in such a way that different types of effects can be interleaved, and such that the generated Javascript is relatively simple.

Our record right now isn't even important to me. I believe we are a game over .500. The most important thing is how we jelling together as a team and that we are continuing to improve each day.
I can tell you one thing, I couldn't be around a better group of guys. I have been playing baseball for a long time and I have been around a lot of different types of personalities. I can say for a fact that this is the best group of guys I have been around since I have been drafted. That is saying a lot too because I had a great team in 2008 in the New York-Penn League when my Batavia Muckdogs team won the championship.
This year the Springfield Cardinals have quite a talented group of players. More importantly, I think it's a group of guys that anyone would be glad to be associated with. Everyone on my team is so positive and hardworking. That includes our coaches and manager as well.
I'm a big believer that being positive helps breed excellence in anything that you do. I try not to associate with negative people and when I look around the clubhouse I don't see anyone that I find myself avoiding. Just on personalities alone, I could see this team going a long way. I know realistically that this team's roster won't remain the same all year, but I still believe this team could do some special things. There is just this winning attitude I think our team already possesses.
Even top prospects such as Kolten Wong and Oscar Taveras don't consider themselves bigger than the team. They just have that winning attitude and both are great teammates. I think every player brings something great to the table. Not to mention that we have four players on the team reigning from San Diego County (Greg Garcia, Scott Schneider, Deryk Hooker, and myself). Ha ha. But seriously, it is important to have your Cali boys. They bring calmness and an important swagger to every clubhouse.
The time I have spent in Springfield so far has been really eventful. From finding a place to live, to playing the St. Louis Cardinals in a exhibition game, to attending my first outside sunrise service on Easter, it's been crazy.
Luckily, I was able to find a place to live and get it furnished within the three days allotted to us by the Cardinals. Yes, we only have three nights that the Cardinals put us up in a hotel. After that, if we haven't found a place to live then we have to start paying for the hotel. It's tough, but knowing that, I started looking for place during spring training and luckily my roommate Niko Vasquez and I were able to get settled into our place right when we got into town.
Playing the Cardinals in the exhibition game was indescribable. The stadium was packed. It was a great atmosphere in which to play. Unfortunately we had to face one of our own in Trevor Rosenthal who was throwing some serious gas. I think I would almost have rather faced Chris Carpenter or Adam Wainwright. Anyway, it was a great game and I was proud of our team as we competed well but lost 3-2. I think a lot of us feel like we should've won that game. That just goes to show how competitive our team is and how we already have that winning mentality.
The first couple of weeks have been a little frustrating for me because I have been struggling at the plate, but the season is still early and I'm confident that the hits will start falling. We have a long ways to go and this is just the beginning. It's a 140-game season.
Now that I think of it, that means so many more bus rides. Yes, every minor leaguer's favorite thing. Bus rides! We have already had a couple of long trips. Coming back from Midland, Texas took about 13 hours. So brutal. Luckily we take two busses so we can actually stretch out across the seats and sleep. No matter what though, you can never get truly comfortable on the bus.
Not to mention on my bus, we had movies playing basically the whole ride back to Springfield. I woke up at four in the morning to the loud fighting scenes of the movie "Transformers". I was pissed. I almost got up and turned the movie off myself because it was so loud. I didn't do it though because I didn't have enough energy to get up from my seat. Ha ha.
Besides that, everything else is going good. I'm a big breakfast guy and I'm happy to say I have found my breakfast spot in Springfield. Gailey's Breakfast Cafe is what the place is called. Excellent service and great food. That's where I have written most of this blog. Blame their coffee if I have been rambling too much.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and look out for my blog every Friday if you want the inside scoop on the Springfield Cardinals. I'll be blogging all season! God Bless.

Americans making more coffee at home: poll
By Marcy Nicholson
BOCA RATON, Florida (Reuters) - Daily coffee consumption in the United States was steady this year compared to 2008, while the number of people making their coffee at home rose, the National Coffee Association of U.S.A. said on Saturday.
Data from the 2009 National Coffee Drinking Trends survey, which polled more than 3,000 adults in the United States by telephone in January and February, was released at the NCA's annual convention in Boca Raton, Florida.
"Consumers still see coffee as an integral part of their everyday lives," NCA chief Robert Nelson said.
"Even if economic conditions cause some to alter their coffee choices, they are nonetheless continuing to enjoy coffee at levels very much on par with recent years," he said in a release.
Preliminary data showed 54 percent of adults drank coffee beverages daily, compared to 55 percent a year ago. With the margin of error plus or minus 1.6 percentage points, the NCA viewed consumption as statistically flat.
Of the people who said they had drunk coffee the previous day, 83 percent said they had made it at home -- up 5 points compared with year-ago figures.
"The coffee industry as a whole doesn't seem to be suffering at all, seems to be recession resilient," said Mark DiDomenico, director of Customer and Consumer Insights for Sara Lee Foodservice.
"Gourmet coffee is where we saw some of the decline," said DiDomenico, who presented the survey results on the convention's final day. Continued...

Cindy Burnside Peterson's curator insight, March 26, 8:28 PM
When I was in college -- I had enough $ for lunch to get an apple or a milk -- that was it. The rest of my money was for gas (I commuted) and bills. My pell grant and student loans covered my tuition and books only. It's sad to see that 20 years later, it is even worse for the kids.
Diamaris Rios's curator insight, March 27, 8:31 PM
I chose to scoop this article because this is a growing issue within higher education. This is a constant battle these students endure on a daily basis. They have decided to further their education but still struggle to pay for rent/feed themselves. The author does a great job illustrating the real life problems these students go through. Although financial aid does help, it is important to know that "Pell Grants, the money the government provides to low-income students to pay for college, hasn't kept up with the rising cost of college, let alone living expenses." I believe CI has done a great job dealing with food insecurity within its campus. They have also done a great job promoting their food pantry.

Do The New Bucs Logos Mean A Pewter Jersey Is In The Works?
Gil is the owner/operator of TheBayCave.com and a member of the Pro Football Writers of America. He will be contributing exclusive Buccaneers content for 620wdae.com as well as utilizing the resources of WDAE into his content on TheBayCave.com from time to time. Gil will be providing another set of eyes, ears and thoughts to our great team of Buccaneers writers.
The Bucs unveiled their new enhanced flag logo and helmet Thursday evening. They also revealed a new font style as well as different color scheme, going from black lettering to all red. Their alternate logo, the pirate ship, was also altered and has a new color scheme of red as opposed to black.
That leads to this: Will this work on their red jerseys?
It sure will be a lot of red and if you recall or would look at the current jerseys you can see the Bucs have never put their flag logo on them. They wore their alternate black ship logo on the sleeves.
You have to wonder now if the team will go to a pewter jersey, giving them the ability to place their team name and any one of the two logos on it. Another option could be something similar to the Tennessee Titans or the Seattle Seahawks who have different colors around the shoulders and sleeves separate from the body of the rest of the jersey. That'll allow for Tampa Bay to keep their red jerseys and place a logo on the shoulders or sleeves — if they choose to do so.
The organization has set a date of March 5th to unveil their new jerseys so we'll know then. But as we wait for yet another reveal, one has to wonder if the new color scheme means the end for their red-colored jerseys.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'DVD' started by Nick Graham, Aug 14, 2003.
Taken from DVD File....
Seeing as an SE of the first part is coming out in r2/4 soon, I wouldn't be surprised if newer editions of the whole series aren't underway. Good news for fans, anyway...
I'm kinda skeptical of this "official news" of a boxed set. According to prior reports, that release isn't projected until at least Fall 2004. I doubt Paramount would provide details so early, unless it's just a mere confirmation of their intentions.
From Box Office Guru:
"It was a sold out main event at theaters as Freddy vs. Jason killed the competition and grossed an estimated $36.4M in its opening weekend beating industry expectations. The final big release of the summer season played in 3,014 locations and averaged a bloody $12,085. It was the sixth biggest August opening ever and the largest for the second half of the month. Freddy also represented the fifth R-rated pic to open at number one this summer."
I bet the vaults at Paramount are being raided for F13 footage as I type this.
It says "Boxed Set" I really hope it won't be just the current versions of the movies with a supplementary disc at the end, but each movie get a special edition treatment. Anyone have any ideas?
I just want to have them all in a set with some kind of features...and Uncut versions would be very nice...I wouldnt mind waiting a year if they were all Uncut...
Well, obviously the highly reqested uncut versions are the first thing anyone looking at these re-issues would want...
I guess this news has something to do with the price drop thats happening on the original discs this week...
Delurking for the first time in ages, I'd like to chime in here with a note to Paramount,
If they aren't uncut, I'm not buying no matter how much extra material they include.
As Will K already mentioned, It's doubtful any jaw dropping information will be spilled on September 19th, but I'll be online just in case!
Sadly I don't hold out much hope, we all know what happend to "My Bloody Valentine" & the requested uncut release by MBV's producer John Denning (Who interestingly, found ALL the gore trims & scene extentions totalling 8-9mins!)
It's a crying shame they won't sub-license these American mainstream horror classics in full bloodied versions & quite frankly it's a slap in the face for Friday fans who have made them an unholy cash cow for Paramount.
This all takes me back to when Part 6 ("A lad Insane" IIRC?)was being filmed, a film journalist friend was on set & while most on the production gave the impression they were proud to work on it, several suits from Paramount came to set putting people down & ripping the F13th series to bits, very sad.
Anyhow, worst case scenario, they'll include rough quality work print versions or worse still the MPAA cut footage, which would amount to what, mere seconds, lumped together in a supplement at the end of each film
You'd think the box office takings for "Freddy Vs Jason" & the forthcoming uncut F13th SE on R2 UK dvd would make Paramount dig deep into the vaults for the definative versions....
Well, I'm "dying" to prove you all wrong but will hold my tongue. Did anyone decide to answer the challenge to shoot a F13 homage for the Maniafest/Cinescape announcement? If you missed it, go back to how this thread opened.
People, this is what Paramount has been saying all along "we'll possibly re-visit them when the theatrical versions are finished."
There's no doubt in my mind that, along with the rise in success of FVJ, and the lack of theatrical versions left, they'll put out something we can be happy with.
Oh Martin, you tease!
Well, at least this Halloween I can screen F13th uncut on my 43" plasma, I guess the rest of them will have to wait until next Halloween If you read between those lines....
An addition to the cut stuff, while trawling through my F13th files, I found an old Fangoria with Part 2's cut footage mentioned, it lost 48 seconds....
BTW anyone here read the great news over at the Mobius forum regarding "EvilSpeak"?
Anchor Bay US have obtained the rights for the uncut version
Martin, it is nice to see you chime in on this thread to be honest and hopefully you mean what you say when you are 'dying' to prove us all wrong...hopefully that means it will be happening eight times over...
(Keep in mind though...you can only improve on part five so much...damn that one needs some help!)
double post....sorry
OOOOOOOOHHHHHH....the suspense!!!!
I'm glad someone from Paramount is actually sharing some semi-positve feedback concerning these recent developments.
As long as the cut footage is integrated back into the features I will buy this set on street date and treasure it forever.
Hmm the plot thickens, I've just been told the alternate ending for Part 3 should be finally seeing the light of day...Let's hope Dana Kimmel doesn't have final say!
I hope the long rumoured F13th footage of Bill's death is found, that is if it ever exsisted?
It certainly wasn't in the first Italian, German, Spanish, English, Greek, French nor Polish releases, as I've owned them all.
In fact of all my years collecting F13th memorabilia, I've only ever seen three versions of part 1, the R rated US cut, the unrated UK/Ger/Fr/Pol/Sp/It/Gr prints & the R1 dvd with the additional Annie footage...
Are you able to confirm to us at least if this thread heading is true or not, that there will be some sort of official announcement on Sep 19th? Thanks in advance.

For a television show to depict Essex as a world of white stilettos, vajazzled women and monosyllabic men is hardly revelatory; after all everyone has heard the age-old jokes about the mental aptitude of the county's female population. Which means many of the scenes in tonight's opening episode of The Only Way Is Essex should hardly come as a shock.
What might surprise anyone catching the small-screen inhabitants of the reality drama for the first time is the effect that the show, which returns for a second series this evening, has had on the coastal county. Far from reinforcing stereotypes, the show has sparked something of a rush for hotel beds, prompting optimism among local tourist chiefs about the region's prospects for this summer.
Granted, the subtleties of The Other Essex – a land of rolling countryside, brilliant birdlife (in the true sense of the word "bird") and one of the longest coastlines of an English county – may have escaped the producers, but locals can at least seek solace from the fact that visitors have broader minds.
Since The Only Way Is Essex first aired last autumn, the travel website hotels.com reports that bookings have soared by 140 per cent. Towns across the county are sharing in the boom, which tourist officials attribute to the area's natural beauty – in direct contrast to some of the distinctly unnatural beauties in the show.
And as for the myths about the intellectual abilities of half of the county's population, Dee Gordon, a longstanding champion of The Other Essex and author of books including Infamous Essex Women and Essex's Own, answers: "It is a shame that national television is undermining Essex in this way, and that such a shallow group of individuals have been singled out for attention. There are more reading groups in Essex than in any other county." She points to scores of people who smash the stereotypes seen in the ITV2 show, ranging from the actress Dame Maggie Smith to the scientist Joseph Lister to fellow authors and Dodie Smith and Tony Parsons.
Anyone doubting her has only to take a visual tour of the county, starting with the green hills and moody low skyline that inspired the painter John Constable: some of his best-known landscapes depict areas of Essex. Then there are the Essex marshes: ornithologists and nature lovers flock to the vast area in the Thames Gateway that proves such a magnet for migratory birds, which use the wetland as a pit-stop en route to warmer climes. And that's not to mention the many other binocular-worthy creatures, from marsh frogs and muntjac deer, also known as barking deer because of the noise they make.
And, for those who prefer books to walking boots, Essex boasts an annual literary festival in March, which attracts writers including Andrea Levy, David Baddiel and Will Hutton.
Then there's the art. Old masters line the walls at Southend's Beecroft art gallery, while co-operatively run galleries thrive in the fishing town of Wivenhoe and in picturesque Leigh-on-Sea. Factor in the many Victorian gardens, sculpture trails, medieval castles and vintage fashion fairs, and the trash-tag quickly peels off this much maligned English county.
The crime writer Martina Cole, who grew up in Averly, Essex, is infuriated by shows that perpetuate stereotypes. "It's an insult to all the hard-working people in Essex. If [producers] bothered to do their research properly, they would find that Essex girls have a higher-than-average pass rate in exams."
Others are annoyed that the TV Essex relates only to a small, urban area within the M25, which bears no relation to the broader, rural county. "There is a selfishness and brashness in parts of metropolitan Essex that is not in the rest of the county," says Bob Russell, Lib Dem MP for Colchester.
Essex facts: History, castles, stately homes, wildlife and walks aplenty
The coastline 350 miles of it, one of the longest of any English county, and featuring the world's longest pleasure pier at Southend.
Naze tower, Naze Panoramic views of Essex from the octagonal top of this landmark; work by the region's best artists line the walls of a gallery inside.
Medieval castles Take your pick, the area's full of them. Hedingham and Mountfitchet are recommended, as is Colchester's Norman keep.
Stately homes English Heritage's Audley End House, near Saffron Walden, with its Capability Brown designed grounds, is a high spot.
Essex Marshes Bracing walks with tremendous bird- and wildlife-spotting potential.
Walk the Essex Way Starts at Epping and ends at Harwich, winding its way through ancient woodland and historic villages as it goes.
Constable country Flatford and Dedham – inspiration for the Romantic painter's famous landscapes.
Wivenhoe An attractive fishing town that has become an artistic and bohemian centre.
Parks aplenty Including the Weald and Hadleigh country parks.
History If archaeology is your thing, Essex has ruins all over the county. Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town, has more than a mile of Roman walls still intact.

Dallas Morning News reporter Wayne Slater talks about what the new "super duper primary" will mean for political reporters like himself. Transcript BOB GARFIELD:In campaign news outside the Beltway, states across the country are scurrying to move their Presidential primaries earlier in the year – to February 5th, 2008. Call it super-duper Tuesday. Eight states are currently slotted for that day, and sixteen more may follow suit. It's an attempt to steal some political clout from the traditional "golden children" of the primary season, Iowa and New Hampshire.Some say the new date will force candidates to pay attention to states they traditionally ignore. Others say there's nothing super or, in fact, duper about it.But how will the change affect coverage? Will there be no more datelines from the Iowa coffee shop, the proverbial New Hampshire knitting circle? Wayne Slater is a political reporter for The Dallas Morning News, and he joins us now. Wayne, welcome to OTM. WAYNE SLATER:Great to be with you, Bob. BOB GARFIELD:Now, as one of the inveterate boys on the bus, your job has been to follow these candidates around for weeks and months. How does this change your job? WAYNE SLATER:Obviously [LAUGHS]I like the idea of Texas moving its primary to February, because, in part, it requires these candidates to come down here. We might be a state that the candidates come to, to raise money – Texas, for example, New York, California - but when it comes to actually engaging the voters, these candidates focus most of their attention in the primary season on Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina. So far this year all the candidates have come through Texas, and I rarely am able to talk to them. BOB GARFIELD:Well, congratulations, Willy Loman, attention is being paid [LAUGHS] to your Texas. [SLATER LAUGHS] And I guess that gives you an opportunity for local reporting. But what do you lose during the rest of the campaign journalistically if the whole shooting match is over in February? WAYNE SLATER:Well, you know, once upon a time, and it wasn't that long ago, you had a whole series of primaries where you had a campaign narrative that developed over time. And, journalistically, not only were we able to follow this narrative – somebody's up, somebody's down, somebody makes a mistake, somebody says something great – and we can be criticized for following the horse race – but it was actually the development of these candidates, watch them answer questions, watch them engage with the voters over an extended period of months. Now the thread is – for those who don't like this idea – it's going to be over so quickly you really have no time to do this.If you have a situation where you have two dozen states all having their primary on the same day, you're not going to see these candidates in all of those states. What you're going to see is a lot of television commercials. BOB GARFIELD:You're saying that this whole thing could backfire? WAYNE SLATER:I think it could backfire. And one of the arguments of the opponents of this move, in a state like mine, and Texas, is that if, after it is over on February 6th, one or both parties still don't have a nominee, then those states which haven't joined the crowd are really going to be premium opportunities where the candidates will have to really pay attention. BOB GARFIELD:King-maker states. WAYNE SLATER:Absolutely. You can see Texas or some other state a week or two weeks or a month later becoming the ultimate state that a nominee would have to have. And let me tell you, whatever state it would be would see all these candidates like they've never seen them before. BOB GARFIELD:I'm curious. Have the states' large newspapers – including yours – editorialized for or against moving the primary? WAYNE SLATER:All politics is local, and the editorials that I've seen, including ours so far, are supportive of the idea of moving the process. In Texas, we tend to think whatever's good for Texas is good for America. [BOB LAUGHS] There is, I think, a sense that if we can be a bigger player in this process, then we can help not only pick the nominee in a fundamental way, but we can affect the debate.Republicans will talk about immigration in New Hampshire and Iowa in one way. But you go to South Texas, near the Mexico border, and you really have the potential to have a different kind of debate – not that they change their mind on issues – but you have a constituency that says do you really understand the ramifications – Republican or Democrat – of what it is you're proposing and you're for? BOB GARFIELD:[LAUGHING] All right, Wayne. Well, thank you so much. WAYNE SLATER:Good to be with you. BOB GARFIELD:Wayne Slater is the senior political reporter for The Dallas Morning News. He is coauthor, with James Moore, of The Architect: Karl Rove and the Dream of Absolute Power – a subtitle, which, by the way was changed from the hardcover edition – The Master Plan for Absolute Power. Events have dictated a new subtitle.

Hey Readers,
A happy new year to all of you. I hope you brought it in with a blast and are feeling just alright on the second Monday of this year. I have to admit I have been on quite a shopping spree over the weekend. And one of the stores I shopped from for the first time was a W. For some reason, until the invited me, I had never checked it out. But I bought the most comfy pants from them and I recommend you do the same.

In a previous work we showed for the first time that human tumor cells secrete Hsp60 via exosomes, which are considered immunologically active microvesicles involved in tumor progression. This finding raised questions concerning the route followed by Hsp60 to reach the exosomes, its location in them, and whether Hsp60 can be secreted also via other mechanisms, e.g., by the Golgi. We addressed these issues in the work presented here.
We found that Hsp60 localizes in the tumor cell plasma membrane, is associated with lipid rafts, and ends up in the exosomal membrane. We also found evidence that Hsp60 localizes in the Golgi apparatus and its secretion is prevented by an inhibitor of this organelle.
We propose a multistage process for the translocation of Hsp60 from the inside to the outside of the cell that includes a combination of protein traffic pathways and, ultimately, presence of the chaperonin in the circulating blood. The new information presented should help in designing future strategies for research and for developing diagnostic-monitoring means useful in clinical oncology.

Solar Resort Pods Will Let Visitors Float In Luxury [Pics]
Michele Puzzolante's concept design is part yacht and part submarine, with a self-sufficient energy generator.
Michele Puzzolante's Solar Floating Resort design is a unique photovoltaic hospitality concept that is both lightweight and non-polluting. The part luxury yacht/ part submarine self-sufficient energy generator has been designed to enhance front beach hotels or island resorts. The 20-meter long pod sleeps up to six people, with two single and two double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. There is a large kitchen, dining area, lounge, pilot room, teak deck with sun loungers and Jacuzzi, and a fully submerged observation bulb with a thick glass enclosure that provides a 360 degree view.
The structure is composed of an outside skin that absorbs sunlight energy and an inside skin that absorbs artificial lighting energy, both in balsa-reinforced fiberglass. Photo-electro-chemical cells are integrated into the two skins and provide power for the electrical and propulsion systems, and a vacuum insulation ensures guests enjoy an optimum temperature.

"Exactly as pictured. Easy to personalize. It is LARGE! We didn't look at the size and were surprised by how big it is, but that's ok. It's beautiful!"
"Easy to create a beautiful invitation. If you're text was too big it would tell you. Had a great experience working with someone over the phone. Extremely courteous and felt like they really cared and gave me assistance."
"I really liked these but the invitation was larger than I thought. I added rounded corners and have used pearl shimmer paper in the past, but not this time. I wish I had, especially because the invites were bigger than I thought. I liked the design of adding the "year" to the pictures, but wish they were not side by side. I liked another invite where they were diagonal. One top left, the other bottom right, but I really wanted red and gold / yellow and that invite only came in red and white. There were not enough choices for invites with "2" pictures."
"The cards were beautiful. I have received many compliments on the quality of the card. I would HIGHLY recommend paying for the review before purchase option. You believe your card is perfect until you hit send. I had to change my card 2 times! Excellent quality and service!"
"I couldn't have been happier with the quality of the paper, printing, how the photos turned out....everything was exactly as I'd hoped. I will continue to use Tiny Prints for any special occasion invitation."

I love music.
Sometimes it's the songs that get me… and sometimes it's the artist.
Anita Baker is one of my favorite artists and not without reason:
Her voice is so smooth and sexy
and warm… so warm I wish I could curl up in it.
Ms. Baker just brings a sensual, stirring quality to every note she sings…
I'm the sort of person who falls in love with an album and listens to it on instant replay for weeks and even months on end…
I've come to know every instrumental and ad-lib on her 'Rapture' and 'Best of Anita Baker' albums…
A few of my favorite songs on those albums:
· You bring me joy: Her voice starts on this track like a warm spring breeze… you know the kind when you're in a sundress and some cute sandals without a care in the world… the kind when you just met somebody nice and there are vibes and you see it actually going somewhere. "When I loose my way, your love comes smiling on me" Times when you remember someone and just smile… when you find pleasure in the mundane just because that person is there to share it with you. "I love you…cos you're the finest thing I've seen in all my life"… Times when you see beauty in someone even when they don't see it in themselves…
· You're my Everything: "Got the sun in the morning I got the moon at night… I got your arms around me everythings all right…I just want to say that you're my everything." There's so much story and joy and character in her voice… it's the voice of a woman who has seen… a woman who has loved and lost… who knows exactly what it feels like. I couldn't care less if she writes her songs or not… but I can just picture her making adjustments to the song as she records it… adding those little 'scatty' things she does… more ad-libs… taking it higher. I first heard this song in Nigeria. It brings back good memories… of my step sister who never got the lyrics of any song right and butchered this song till it was almost unrecognizable… very good memories.
· Giving you the best that I got: I love this song because she doesn't say that she's giving him the best that there is… just the best that she's got. I read somewhere that love isn't about loving a perfect person… but loving an imperfect person perfectly. I agree cos sometimes we get so caught up in the trivialities that we forget the essence of love… sometimes it's about being able to love another 'in spite of'
· Sweet Love: "With all my heart I love you baby, stay with me and you will see, my arms will hold you baby never leave cos I believe I'm in love… sweet love… hear me calling out your name, I feel no shame… don't you ever go away, it'll always be this way"
'I'm in love… I feel no shame… I'm in love' My favorite line of the entire song… I think that's how it's supposed to be… really. There should be no shame…
· No one in the world: 'I look back on all those good times that we once shared… '
This one's reminiscent… remembering someone you loved or genuinely cared about…and the good times. Ms. Baker's begging for it quite literally: 'Please take me back… baby I can't go on without you… I'll do whatever it takes to get you back with me again… I realize I need you here in my life' The song is about mistakes and second chances, lost love and all it entails. No one in the world is so beautiful I can't even explain. Her voice starts out really calm and sweet and mellow, but as the intensity of her emotions grows… so does her voice… it's almost an 'and I'm telling you I'm not going' moment. If I was the guy she's wants this much… if she could sing me this song just once a week… I'd take her back and adore her for the rest of my life… yeah, that's the power of this woman's voice.
· I love you just because: Not because he's tall or handsome or rich or smart or generous… she loves him 'just because'. Her voice on this track is so full…
"You're a diamond in my mind… a precious gem to me, you're so nice to have around… it's amazing loving you, I'm doing things I never thought I'd do" This woman sings of 'old love'… you know that love our grandparents and great grandparents used to have… the love that came before prenuptial agreements and separate bedrooms (although I'm aware valid arguments can be made for both
· Rapture: "I'm caught up in the rapture of love… nothing else can compare while I feel the magic of you…" When Anita Baker sings it, I feel like I can still let go… even after everything… to be 'caught up in the rapture of love'. This is probably the song that everybody knows… there are elements of whimsy in this song… her voice is just so… ahhhh.
· Body and Soul: This song makes me wish I was a ballerina… the delicacy and intricacy of the dance almost captures the beauty of this song… almost.
· I apologize: This is probably my favorite Anita Baker song… my shoulders automatically shrug in pleasure everytime I hear it. Her voice, the lyrics, the background… it's almost too much. It's one of those songs I can picture being played in a Starbucks somewhere in Nova Scotia… a song that'll make you want to order one more cappuccino… a song that you'd not mind staying a few minutes later even though your lunch break is over and your manager is an ***, you can't leave just yet cos you have to listen till it's completely over. If I was a singer… I'd sing this song. If I was an actor… I'd act this song. If I was a couturier… I'd make this song. If I was a painter… I'd paint this song. I read somewhere that "I love you" and "I'm sorry" are the most powerful phrases in the English language. I agree… and from the way she sings it… I think Anita Baker does as well. "When the road gets rough you say things you should not say… I never meant to treat my baby that way". A couple of my friends think I have the 'gift of gab' and can talk myself out of most things… but this is probably one of the few instances where I'd let a song speak for me… I would play this song if I hurt someone I really cared about… cos it sings better than anything I could say. I'd die a happy woman if I could hear Anita Baker sing this song just once in my lifetime.
I would do an Uzo on this and tell you to send me your email addresses if you want these songs… but it might be easier for you to youtube them. However, if you're gonna get fired at work for doing that… then I'll send it to you( the only compromise is that I'll expect a little 'grease'/ 'oil'/ 'pepper'/ 'lettuce'… all man needs to survive… lol)

Millennials are becoming one of the most influential generations in terms of what the workplace and data security will look like in coming years.
Born in the 1980s and '90s, they are the largest generation in the U.S. workforce today. The first wave is in their thirties, and by 2020, 46% of all workers will be millennials.
Being tech savvy is what makes this generation so extraordinary – and influential.
As Forrester Research put it, technology has shaped much of their lives. millennials (or Generation C's – C is for Connected) have grown up with online shopping, smartphones, and social media. In 2014, more than eight in 10 used a smartphone, and almost half used a tablet.
But while technology drives almost everything they do, there appears to be a lack of regard for data security. As this darkreading.com article points out, that's what information experts are most concerned about.
A survey by TrackVia, a DIY business application platform, showed that 60% of millennials "aren't concerned about corporate security when they use personal apps instead of corporate-approved apps."
And despite BYOD policies that ban certain apps, nearly 50% bring personal apps into the workplace "because corporate apps can't do what they need them to do". Furthermore, 35% use their own apps because corporate-approved apps cannot be used across different devices.
Since every business will be hiring this group, if they haven't already, it's important to know what a workplace can do to keep confidential information safe.
For more ways to protect information, introduce millennials to the essentials – and importance – of legislative compliance in our Document Management E-book.

For Con Ed, responding to heat waves is like a battle. And this is the war room.
There are giant screens that track usage and map outages. Meanwhile a dozen or more staffers, many working twelve hour shifts during the intense heat, coordinate with workers in the field.
"Folks in this room are monitoring the system, checking on crews, dispatching crews, making sure we're handling jobs as quickly as possible because we don't want to let any piece of equipment be out of service for too long," says Con Ed spokesman Michael Clendenin.
They do this every day, but hot days pose extra challenges. The heat combined with extra usage can cause cables to smoke or catch fire. And the utility has faced criticism in the past for prolonged outages. So Con Ed has crews working on faulty circuits, while workers try to add capacity elsewhere.
Jay Sakariasen and his team are adding cables at Peter Cooper Village – just in case. "We're doing this work now to try to meet the demand of the customers so this way we don't have any problems," he says.
