When the mercury starts climbing, nothing screams "summertime" quite like homemade ice cream. After researching for 85 hours, testing 14 makers, talking with pro ice cream makers and a food scientist, and churning gallons of the frozen stuff over the past two years, we think the Whynter ICM-15LS ($260) is your best bet for making consistently great ice cream at home. It's not cheap, but because it's so easy to use and essentially guarantees success, it'll likely get a lot more play in your kitchen than cheaper, more finicky machines.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $265.
The Whynter ICM-15LS not only made some of the smoothest ice cream in our testing, but it was also the quietest-running maker we tried and the easiest to scoop from and clean. And since it's a self-refrigerating compressor machine, you won't have to deal with freezing an insert bowl or futzing with messy ice and salt.
If the Whynter ICM-15LS sells out, or you just want more bells and whistles, the Breville Smart Scoop ($400) is a great alternative. Although it made slightly creamier ice cream than our top pick, the difference was so subtle that we don't think it's worth the extra $150 for most people. It has an auto function with 12 hardness settings and a "keep cool" function so you can set your ice cream and walk away. And its brightly lit LCD display and control panel with big buttons make it easy to use—even for kids.
The Lello 4080 Musso Lussino ($645) is the crème de la crème of home ice cream makers. The large, sleek machine churned out smooth and creamy batches of ice cream in less than 30 minutes, the fastest of any model we tested. And our tasters unanimously voted its ice cream the smoothest and best-flavored. But its jaw-dropping price makes the Musso Lussino too expensive for casual dessert-making. If you plan on making more than one quart of ice cream a week, this might be the machine for you.
If spending more than $200 on an ice cream maker sounds steep to you, the Nostalgia Electrics ICMP400 ($30) is just one step beyond the old-fashioned hand-crank models. While it still requires ice and salt to freeze the mixture, this machine is fitted with a motor to do all of the hard work for you. Its ice cream was slightly icier than that from our main pick, but still tasty. It makes up to 1 gallon at a time, and as long as you have enough ice and rock salt, you can turn ice cream all day.
If you own a KitchenAid stand mixer, we really like the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Stand Mixer Attachment ($80) attachment as well. This is a bowl that requires pre-freezing, which necessitates more planning ahead than our main pick. It made the absolute fluffiest ice cream of the machines we tested, since the lowest setting on the KitchenAid stand mixer is still faster than the speed at which ice cream makers spin. We didn't mind the texture at all; in fact, it was quite pleasant.
Although I haven't spent much time as a pastry cook in my long culinary career, I have made a lot of ice cream and frozen yogurt. When I was a fresh-faced line cook in New York City, I hung out in the pastry kitchen as much as I could, learning about ice cream from the pastry cooks. Every day before service I also had to spin a horseradish crème fraîche sorbet that was served as a garnish on the tuna tartare. Ice cream is the best because you don't have to turn on an oven and it always makes people smile.
For this guide, we spoke with several ice cream experts, including Brian Smith, owner at Ample Hills Creamery; Billy Barlow, Director of Culinary and Production at Blue Marble Ice Cream; Lauren Tempera, avid home ice cream maker and one half of Red & Brown; and Douglas Goff, a professor and food scientist at the University of Guelph with more than 30 years of experience in the field of ice cream. We read editorial from Cook's Illustrated (subscription required) and Good Housekeeping. Finally, we polled Sweethome readers to find out what they were looking to pay for an ice cream maker and what features would be most convenient for them.
An ice cream maker isn't an essential kitchen tool, but if you love ice cream and like experimenting with unique flavor combinations, it's worth investing in one. Which type you should buy depends largely on how often you plan to use it and how much you want to spend. Generally, you'll find three styles of ice cream makers:
The primary task of an ice cream maker is to produce creamy ice cream with few ice crystals. The faster the mixture freezes, the less time ice crystals have to form. Although machines will do this in about 20 to 40 minutes, there's no optimal time cycle—you just want the mixture to freeze as quickly as possible. That's why compressor machines tend to make smoother textures; they churn and freeze the ice cream base faster than those that rely on frozen inserts or ice and salt.
A good compressor machine will freeze at around -32°F and maintain that temperature until the end of the cycle. A machine that uses a frozen bowl will only get warmer as the mixture freezes (and if your freezer is at the end of a defrost cycle when you take the insert bowl out, you'll end up with a milkshake rather than actual ice cream). You can improve results in any type of machine by making sure your ice cream base is as cold as possible (see our ice-cream-making tips for how to do this).
Last year we tested nine ice cream makers of all types: a specialty hand-cranked style, electric high-capacity ice/salt, frozen insert, and compressor. The only kind we knew we didn't want to try were the large capacity hand-cranked ice/salt models. Those are too much of a pain to churn since they require a strong arm to constantly crank for 20 to 30 minutes.
For this update, we only brought in self-refrigerating compressor ice cream makers. These tested the best last year—producing the highest-quality ice cream—and in surveying our readers we found most respondents were looking to buy a compressor machine. We kept our budget and KitchenAid attachment picks the same because no new models of these styles have come out over the past year (and we're still satisfied with these selections). This year's contenders included: Whynter ICM-15LS, Breville Smart Scoop, Lello 4080 Musso Lussino, Cuisinart ICE-100,and Sunpentown KI-15.
We decided to leave out gelato makers since gelato is a different animal. It differs from ice cream in that it is mostly milk and sugar with little cream and little to no egg yolks, sometimes using cornstarch to thicken instead. Gelato is churned slower and at a higher temperature to maintain that "stretchy" quality, which is why you ideally should use a specific gelato machine. The result is a product with little to no overrun that resembles a custard more than ice cream. Don't get us wrong, it's delicious and we love it, it's just not the same.
Last year we tested the machines using a relatively low-fat recipe from Ample Hills Creamery in Brooklyn, and I tasted them for texture and flavor with friend Sara Bonisteel, staff editor for the food section of The New York Times. For this update, we wanted to see how the machines handled different recipes. We ran a higher-fat vanilla ice cream base through each machine; it contains more cream and egg yolks than the Ample Hills recipe, which has more milk than cream. Higher-fat ice cream bases are more forgiving because there's a lower percentage of water to crystallize and ruin the creamy texture. If a machine made icy ice cream from this luxurious base, we figured it wouldn't be worth buying.
We also made a simple lemon sorbet without added glucose or corn syrup to smooth out the texture. We thought an unforgiving sorbet recipe that didn't have any aid from fruit fiber or special sugars would show us the differences between these machines. But we were wrong. All the ice cream makers made the same sorbet. After the initial two tests, we dismissed the lowest-performing machine and made chocolate ice cream in the remaining four makers. (If you're curious, we used all David Lebovitz recipes.)
Instead of the informal tasting we held for the previous guide, we held a blind taste test with six tasters. From our two years of testing, we've learned that with ice cream makers, you truly do get what you pay for. The prices of the machines we tested directly reflected the resulting quality of ice cream.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $265.
We like the Whynter ICM-15LS ($250) because it made smoother ice cream in a shorter amount of time than most of the other models. Although it didn't create the absolute smoothest texture, it does hit the sweet spot of great results at a reasonable price. It's also one of the quieter machines we tested, and the simple, compact design makes it easy to store. It's also one of the simplest models to use, scoop from, and clean. And because the Whynter is a compressor machine, no pre-freezing of any kind is required.
The Whynter made some of the best ice cream in both rounds of testing. It had a pronounced creaminess with very few ice crystals. With an overrun of 53 percent, the mixture was quite airy, but still very rich. It wasn't as smooth as that from the Lello Musso Lussino, but the machine also costs roughly 60 percent less. The Whynter churned out creamy ice cream in 33 minutes, falling into second place in freezing time after the Musso Lussino. Our runner-up, the Breville Smart Scoop, made ice cream in 35 minutes, and the longest freeze time went to the Cuisinart ICE-100 at 42 minutes.
This year we learned that the cost of the compressor machines is directly proportionate to the quality of ice cream they produced. The cheapest machine, Sunpentown KI-15 ($175), literally stopped working halfway through the cycle and didn't completely freeze the ice cream. Part of the mixture was still liquid, which resulted in uneven, icy ice cream. The Cuisinart ICE-100 ($220) was slightly better, but also produced an icy texture. For $30 more, the Whynter made a far creamier ice cream. Both the Breville Smart Scoop and Musso Lussino made better ice cream, but they're significantly more expensive (by 47 and 133 percent, respectively). The Whynter ICM-15LS hits the right balance of making really good ice cream at a decent price.
One of the great things about the Whynter is the lack of noise. It was the quietest in our testing sample this time around. This was in stark contrast to our previous runner-up, the Cuisinart ICE-100, which was high-pitched and loud.
The machine itself is pretty compact, measuring 8.5 by 15 by 9.25 inches (hlw), the smallest of our recommendations. This makes it easier to stash under a workbench or in a cabinet while not in use. Compare that to the Breville, which measures slightly larger at 9.5 by 16.5 by 11.5 inches (hlw), and the Lussino at 10.5 by 17.5 by 12 inches (hlw). It's pretty heavy, weighing 32 pounds, but it's easier to pick up and move than our step-up pick, which clocks in at 40 pounds. Nevertheless, it's better to store in a low cabinet than a high shelf.
The Whynter is simple to use. The 1.5-quart removable bowl is easy to lift out, thanks to a built-in handle, so you can scrape out all of the ice cream with ease. The Musso Lussino, on the other hand, doesn't have a removable bowl, so scooping out finished ice cream and cleaning gets pretty messy. Setting up the machine was effortless and took less than 3 minutes. The Breville was more difficult to navigate; we had to give the manual a once-over and figure out the many buttons and functions before we could start churning.
The Whynter is also very convenient. It's a compressor machine, so it doesn't require ice and nothing needs to be frozen in advance; just pour in your chilled base and turn it on. This doesn't make it any different than the other compressor machines we tested, but does put it leagues ahead of the insert and salt-and-ice models we tried last year.
Fine Cooking likes the Whynter ICM-15LS for its value and it has a slew of great reviews on Amazon (4.3-star average of 82 reviews). Our prior pick was the Whynter SNO (since discontinued), and this is basically the same guts just with a smaller bowl.
Our previous pick, the Whynter SNO, had a 2-quart capacity, while the Whynter ICM-15LS has only a 1.5-quart capacity. It's not that big of a deal because you can run batches back-to-back in this machine, since there's no pre-freezing required.
The opening for adding mix-ins is almost comically tiny (2.5 by 1 inches, compared to the Breville's 4.75-by-2-inch opening). But because you can remove the lid and the motor keeps turning, adding mix-ins is pretty easy without fussing with the opening in the lid.
For the price, we think the Whynter ICM-15LS is the best ice cream maker for most people. But the Breville Smart Scoop ($400) is a good—albeit substantially more expensive—option if the Whynter sells out. It made slightly creamier ice cream than the Whynter, but we don't think that makes it worth the $150 price jump.
The Smart Scoop was our higher-priced option last year, but this year it didn't beat the much more consistent (and expensive) Lello Musso Lussino. What the Smart Scoop really has going for it are more automatic options—basically a lot of extra bells and whistles that most people probably don't need. It has an auto mode that lets you choose from 12 hardness settings (which seems excessive), from soft sorbet to super-firm ice cream. A bell alerts you when the time is right to add mix-ins, and the lid's wide-mouth opening makes it easy. When the cycle is done, the Smart Scoop automatically stops turning the ice cream, and an alert bell or ice cream truck song signals that the cycle is finished (this can be turned off).
A "stay-cool" function keeps your ice cream frozen and churned for up to 3 hours. It also has a unique "cool down" function that brings the temp on your base and the machine down to the perfect turning temperature before it starts to churn—no other ice cream maker we tested has this feature. A large, bright LCD display is easy to read, and the buttons are intuitive. And if you prefer, there's also a manual function that gives you complete control (the Whynter, by comparison, has no presets).
At 54 percent overrun, the Smart Scoop's ice cream was so smooth and perfectly churned that it could be eaten straight from the machine, no additional freezing necessary. You could do that with any of these makers, but the Breville, and the Musso Lussino for that matter, produce a firmer product straight out of the machine. If you want a more scoopable ice cream, just transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a few hours.
At $400, this is definitely a splurge. And there's nothing you can do in this machine that you can't do in the Whynter. But the preset auto functions do take a lot of guesswork out of timing, which is great for beginners and even kids.
Brian Smith at Ample Hills has one of these at his house and said his kids love to use it, probably because of the cheery jingle that plays when the ice cream is finished churning. It has a 4.4-star average rating on Amazon and comes recommended by Serious Eats and Bon Appétit.
The Lello 4080 Musso Lussino ($650) is truly the most luxurious home ice cream maker we've ever used. In our blind tasting, the Musso Lussino placed first or second place with every taster. But for the price, it's only worth it if you're a serious connoisseur or you have cash to burn. Musso is an Italian company that makes domestic and commercial ice cream and gelato makers. The design is sleek and simple with no bells and whistles. But we do have a few small gripes about its build.
The stationary bowl is not fun to clean, especially if the machine isn't situated near a sink. You basically have to scrape out every last bit of ice cream and let the bowl warm up a bit, otherwise your cleaning water will freeze. Then fill a mixing bowl with soapy or bleach water and wipe it out, making sure to rinse it completely. It took more paper towels than we care to use, but we're sure that can be streamlined with practice.
The machine is also really big and heavy, measuring 10.5 by 17.5 by 12 inches (hlw) and weighing 40 pounds. This isn't something you can stash on a shelf; this guy should permanently be parked on your countertop.
Like the Whynter, using the Musso Lussino is incredibly easy. The metal dasher—all the others we tested are plastic—sits in the depressed stainless steel bowl. After pouring in the ice cream base, just set the timer and press the two green buttons, one for freezing and one for churning, no extra controls or settings like our runner-up. We aren't sure why there are two separate buttons, but the cooling button could be helpful for keeping ice cream cold once you turn off the churn button; just remove the dasher so it doesn't get frozen into the mixture. Ice cream took 22 to 25 minutes, the quickest churning time of all the models we tested. What does that speed get you? Less ice crystal formation and an intense creaminess that's reminiscent of store-bought premium ice cream, thanks to a more powerful compressor that freezes the mixture faster. The difference is evident when you scoop out the finished product. It's stretchy, like gelato, and actually visually smoother. The Whynter ICM-15LS and Breville Smart Scoop, by comparison, turned vanilla ice cream in 33 and 35 minutes, respectively, and their product was more icy.
But, again, the Musso Lussino is really expensive. For it to pay for itself you'd need to make 1 quart of ice cream at least once a week for two and a half years. For the same price you could easily buy 275 pints of premium store-bought ice cream at $5/pint, if you factor in the cost of the Musso Lussino plus quality ingredients (and why use anything but in such a machine?). But if you like to make ice cream for friends and family on the regular, and have the money, this just might be your ideal ice cream maker. It receives an average of 4.5 stars from 192 Amazon users. Like the other machines we picked, this comes with a 1-year warranty, which is a bit short given the hefty price tag.
If you're not ready to commit to an expensive compressor machine, the Nostalgia Electrics ICMP400 ($30) gives good results, although it requires more work and won't produce the creamiest textures. Of the two models we tested that require salt and ice, the Nostalgia Electrics was the winner. This simple machine can make up to 4 quarts of ice cream, easily twice the capacity of the others.
The Nostalgia produced decent ice cream with a lower overrun of 31 percent, which is on the dense side. The final product was also icier than our previous top pick. While the ice cream was a bit icy, it wasn't the biggest offender in the testing line up. Sara Bonisteel and I both preferred this ice cream over that made in the equally affordable Hamilton Beach 68330R. She noted that it had a "nice bite" and "pretty nice texture" with a "hint of ice crystal." The flavor of the cream really came out in the finish. (We didn't test this again this year with the higher-fat recipe. It's very possible this machine would yield an ice cream with higher overrun with a different recipe.)
The construction is simple, with a canister, cover, dasher, bucket, and a motor that fits over the top. Layer ice and salt in the bucket around the canister and plug in the motor. (We used kosher salt because we couldn't find ice cream rock salt and it worked just fine.) The bucket has a big, comfortable handle and the motor runs at a low hum. The ice cream took about 30 minutes to churn, but it was only a quarter full. At full capacity, it would've taken longer. Since it was a cool day, we didn't need to add additional ice.
Keep in mind that this machine isn't designed to add mix-ins while it's running. You have to remove the motor and lid to add anything to the canister. Even then, you run the risk of accidentally getting salty ice in your ice cream. Best to stir in any additional nuts, cookies or candy by hand after it's done churning. The Nostalgia Electrics has a 4.5-star average rating on Amazon from more than 600 ratings, and Good Housekeeping also likes it.
Even though we were not impressed with other frozen inserts, we found that the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker ($80) attachment was the only frozen bowl model that worked well consistently. It's a space-saving, affordable alternative if you have a KitchenAid stand mixer from 1990 or later.
The KitchenAid made perfect, fluffy ice cream every time. And we do mean fluffy, with the highest overrun (68 percent) in our tests last year (using the lower-fat recipe). The lowest speed on a KitchenAid is still faster than the churn speed on all of the ice cream makers that were tested. The resulting ice cream was smooth and extremely airy, with few discernable ice crystals. If you like a denser ice cream, this is not the maker for you.
Because of the fluffier texture, the flavors also aren't as pronounced and you don't get a super indulgent mouthfeel. Billy Barlow, Culinary and Production Director at Blue Marble uses this because he already has a KitchenAid mixer and he has space constraints in his New York City home. He did note that while you have control over speed when using the KitchenAid attachment, if you run it too fast, the friction will prevent your ice cream from setting. We ran it on the lowest speed and it worked really well.
It has an average of 4.1 stars on Amazon from 1,604 reviewers and comes highly recommended by Good Housekeeping. Cook's Illustrated recommends it with reservations because of the high overrun.
In the Ample Hills cookbook, Brian Smith and Jackie Cuscuna say, "What separates great ice cream from mediocre ice cream is the quality of those ingredients—and the process by which they're prepared and churned into product." Starting with the best ingredients will give better results.
To minimize the size of ice crystals, temperature matters. Everything needs to be as cold as possible. Before you spin your base, thoroughly chill it down in an ice bath. There is no skipping this step, unless you have a Breville Smart Scoop which can do it for you. The colder the base, the sooner it starts to freeze. Sometimes I'll even put my base in the freezer until ice crystals just begin to form on the edges, then I'll give it a vigorous stir before pouring into the machine.
Billy Barlow at Blue Marble understands the issues that can come with making ice cream at home. "One of the complaints a lot of people have when making ice cream at home is that it's icier than they thought it would be. That's primarily because of how cold the freezing process is and how cold your home freezer is. If your home freezer is your normal, 0°F freezer or slightly warmer, your ice cream is going to take a lot longer to harden than in a commercial freezer, and therefore more ice crystals are growing. Those are the two challenges. If you can make your ice cream get colder faster, it has the potential to be smoother and creamier."
Once the ice cream is spun, it's soft like soft serve. It's completely edible but definitely not scoopable. This is the point where you "ripen" the ice cream, which means transferring it to a container to freeze for at least a few hours. Additional freezing is an important step because it reduces the formation of ice crystals; the colder your freezer, the quicker your ice cream sets, and the smaller those ice cream crystals will be. And that's it! It really is one of the simplest things to make. Once you get your technique down, you can play around with flavors, fat content, maybe even some stabilizers like xanthan gum to tweak texture.
If you're new to ice cream making and aren't sure how long to churn, no worries, there's an automatic shut-off function on the Whynter so that the machine isn't damaged if your mixture happens to freeze solid. We also made sure the outside of the bowl was dry before placing it in the machine. This was a tip Breville specifically called out so that the bowl doesn't freeze into the machine, and we adapted it for all the makers with removable bowls.
As we mentioned, overrun refers to the amount of air whipped into the ice cream. There's no "optimal overrun," as commercial ice cream overrun can range from super dense 24 percent (Häagen-Dazs) to light and fluffy 94 percent (Breyers), according to Cook's Illustrated. Think of it as the difference between pudding and mousse. They're both stirred custard desserts and they're both delicious.
The air whipped into ice cream actually plays a role is texture and flavor delivery. Billy Barlow of Blue Marble Ice Cream said, "Air is very important when you take into account texture, as well as whenever you incorporate air into a product if you have mint or vanilla in your ice cream, something that's aromatic, those air capsules actually hold the aroma of whatever it is you're flavoring with." Ice cream that has a higher fat content holds more air. Not only that, those air capsules deliver better mouthfeel and texture.
Cheap ice cream makers cut corners with cheap ingredients and high overrun. More air means higher profits for ice cream producers. Douglas Goff, a food scientist with extensive experience in ice cream, said, "Manufacturers are caught in the middle of ingredient and fixed costs on the one hand (which keep going up) and retailing demands for price point on the other hand (can't go up!), so overrun is a way to try to straddle that line and keep up margins."
He goes on to explain how this impacts quality of the finished product, "…yes it is one of the defining characteristics of quality(!) – too low and it is very dense, heavy and rich (Haagen Dazs as the quintessential example, that is their market niche…) and too high and it is too marshmallowy/fluffy, the cheap supermarket no-name brands being a good example."
If you're a fan of both fluffy texture and high-quality ingredients, the best way to have the ice cream of your dreams is to make it yourself.
Our previous runner-up, the Cuisinart ICE-100 ($275) fell from grace after this round of testing. Pitted against other compressor models, it couldn't compete and came in dead last. It took the longest to churn ice cream, 42 minutes, and the result was the iciest in our testing group.
The Sunpentown KI-15 ($175) was an underperformer. It churned the vanilla ice cream base with ease, and the blind tasters liked it a lot. But that's where the good news ends. It stopped churning the lemon sorbet and chocolate ice cream before it was completely set, resulting in an icy and uneven texture.
The Donvier was the only hand-cranked model we tried, and the smaller capacity (1 qt.) of the frozen bowl probably makes the work much more manageable. It only needs to be turned four complete turns, every 3 to 4 minutes for 20 minutes. But we found it made inconsistent batches; the first was great, but the second was very icy.
The Cuisinart ICE-21 is a smaller machine with an insert bowl that requires pre-freezing. In our tests, it generally made icy ice cream. The ICE-21 does have a large opening in the top for mix-ins, which is a real plus. The biggest disappointment of the ICE-21 was that when we went to make the second batch the next day, it wouldn't freeze at all. The mixture resembled a half-melted milkshake.
The Hamilton Beach 68320 (23 percent overrun in last year's testing) was adequate when handling freezing the base of the first batch, but it failed on the second batch when it came time to add the mix-ins. As soon as the cookies were added, the whole mixture melted to the consistency of a milkshake.
As for the Hamilton Beach 68330R, it made fine ice cream (38 percent overrun last year) and it froze fast and easy. The Nostalgia Electrics model beat it because it was quieter and the bucket had a handle.
The Whynter SNO was our prior top pick, but it has since been discontinued. I still have this model in my home and have been using it for longterm testing. It makes delicious, smooth ice cream on par with our new pick, the Whynter ICM-15LS. The SNO is bigger, heavier, and a little louder than the ICM-15LS, but if you happen to find this on closeout somewhere, go ahead and pick it up. We still stand by this maker.
Whynter ICM-200LS ($400) is a higher-capacity version of our top pick. A sales representative told us that the machines have the same motor and compressor; the only difference is the ICM-200LS makes 2 quarts of ice cream as opposed to 1.5 quarts. We didn't think an extra pint of ice cream was worth the extra $140, so we opted not to test.
White Mountain Appalachian Series Wooden Bucket 6-Quart Electric Ice Cream Maker uses ice and salt and has a motorized dasher. Although it has an attractive wooden bucket and is made in the USA, it costs a whopping $250. Since you can get an easier-to-use compressor machine for that price, we opted not to test.
MaxiMatic Elite ($90) offers either motorized or hand-crank turning. Again, the pine bucket made this ice-and-salt machine too expensive.
Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence ($80) is a frozen insert machine. Cook's Illustrated wasn't entirely pleased with it and one of the editors here at The Sweethome had unfavorable experience while owning one.
Deni Fully Automatic Ice Cream Maker with Candy Crusher wasn't well-liked by Good Housekeeping.
BELLA 13716 Ice Cream Maker had an average of 1.7 stars on Amazon, so we passed on reviewing this model.
Nostalgia Electrics ICMW400 4-Quart Wooden Bucket Electric Ice Cream Maker ($45) Again with the wooden bucket! This model had all the same features as our budget pick but costs an extra $15.

Lure and?
I know what it is to lure a dog into a position and then reward him with a treat.
I read somewhere else and can't find it, where you wait for the dog to do its thing and the reward him. It's called free something.
Can somebody help me with the phrase, principle and how it works? Thank you in advance.
It's called free shaping. Pretty much works as you said. You wait for the dog to do the behavior you mark and reward when it does. The dog does the behavior more often as a result and at some point figures out what it was being rewarded for and you have a strong behavior because the dog figured it out on its own. Problem is it can take a long long time vs luring plus you have less control over exactly what the final product looks like.
Free shaping! Really quite simple. You wait for the dog to offer something, very insignificant at first, even if it's by accident, towards the ultimate goal. You mark/treat and wait for just a little higher of criteria next, etc. etc. until the dog is doing the thing you want.
For easy of imagination, if I wanted my dog to go to the front door and stand there next to it, I would first click/treat for a glance or step (whichever he happened to offer first) towards the door. Then I'd click/treat for a step, or numerous steps towards the door. Etc. etc. until I'm clicking for standing against the door. I just raise my criteria between each reward towards the ultimate goal.
eta; A lot of people like free shaping more because you don't have to fade the lure and it's harder on the dog's brain, resulting in more mental work/making them more tired. It's also fun to have a dog that is actively engaged in trying to learn for you/the reward and watching the gears turn so that they are more of a "thinking" dog instead of a dog following your cues. They learn to problem solve, basically, which is intriguing.
Free shaping is just more fun for some, and more of a challenge.
I use both, personally.

Photo licenses may drive Hutterites out of Alberta
By Rod Nickel
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Up to 10 colonies of the strict Christian Hutterite sect say they face religious persecution from the Canadian province of Alberta's plan to force them to have their photos on driver's licenses and may leave Alberta rather than comply.
Canada's Supreme Court ruled Friday in favor of the Alberta government, which had appealed an exception the Hutterite colonies had won through the courts to a provincial law that requires photos on driver's licenses. The Alberta colonies take literally the Bible's Second Commandment against making images, although other colonies do not.
"The 10 Commandments were written in stone and they should last forever," said Samuel Wurz, manager of the Three Hills Colony. " ...If you start to give in to one thing, next thing the government would want to come take our children to public schools or have our young people go to war."
The Alberta government has promised to meet with colony representatives to discuss the matter. If it doesn't agree to leave the colonies exempt, they will consider leaving Alberta or ignoring the law, Wurz said.
The only compromise the Alberta government is willing to make is to allow Hutterites to wait until their licenses expire to comply, said Heather Klimchuk, the Alberta minister responsible for licensing drivers. Photo ID helps prevent identity theft, she said.
She declined to say how the Alberta government will enforce the photo requirement. "I am confident we'll all end up at the same page once all the (photoless) licenses have expired," she said.
Hutterites are a pacifist Christian movement dating back to the Reformation of the 1500s that fled Europe due to religious persecution. The Three Hills and Wilson colonies, which have led Hutterite opposition to the photo requirement, moved to Alberta in 1918 from South Dakota after the American government tried to force Hutterites to fight in World War One.
Before they moved north, the Canadian government promised it would allow Hutterites to freely practice their religion, Wurz said. Continued...

Pediatricians Who Support Alternative Choices
Delay/anti-vax-friendly pediatricians in East Bay
Oct 2013
I am looking for a pediatrician in the East Bay with Castro Valley as a center point (so hopefully not too much of a drive from there) who is accepting of delaying and refusing vaccines. I found some older posts, but wasn't sure if they were current enough that the doctors held the same policy. Also, many of the ones I found don't accept our insurance, so I was hoping for some more options. I did see Dr. Ann Parker suggested at Alameda Pediatrics and wondered if she is possibly the B. Anne Parker listed on their website and if she still supported alternative vaccine decisions. Any other recommendations who accept insurance (not a holistic or homeopathic doctor, unfortunately) are appreciated! Thanks! Elle
Dr. Ann Parker at Alameda Pediatrics is an excellent pediatrician who is openminded about vaccines. We have gone to her for years and have delayed most vaccines, split them up for doing them at separate times, and a few we have not done. She is very easy to talk to for parents and she relates very well to children and teenagers. anon
Holistic Pediatrician for our 10 month old
April 2013
We are looking for an alternative medical practitioner for our 10 month old daughter to care for her overall health, as well as to seek counsel with in regard to two current issues: a persistent rash in her neck folds and intermittent rash in her private areas and a shift in her bowel movements, both in consistency and frequency/effort. We are looking for someone who will not push vaccinations, is knowledgeable in non-western approaches too health and healing, and is a kind, patient, and accessible person. Thank you! rachel
I adore Dr. Amy Maidenberg at Sage Pediatrics http://sagepediatrics.com/ on Piedmont in Oakland. She's not only the perfect holistic Pediatrician for my 2 year old son, but she's also the mom of a toddler, so I know she's going through the same issues herself (vaccinations, etc) and can relate on a new-parent level. Ashley
Dr. Amy Maidenberg of Sage Pediatrics is AMAZING! She's knowledgeable, kind, and holistic. She also does home visits for newborns, how great is that! Dr. Amy has a lovely office on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland: http://sagepediatrics.com/ Best, Ellen
A holistic practitioner will help treat these conditions / symptoms as part of a bigger picture, and I highly recommend Randall Neustaedter, OMD, LAc. I've loved his books (The Holistic Baby Guide + Child Health Guide: Holistic Pediatrics for Parents) and all of the specific advice he gives in his books, as well as how he works with our son when we go in for office visits. He is in Redwood City, so I would recommend mid-day appointments to avoid commute traffic. I really feel like he treats our son as a whole being, not just the symptoms. His suggestions have worked - supplements, Chinese herbal remedies we get from him when at his office, as well as the suggestions that I've followed from his books (e.g. probiotics , homeopathic remedies, supplements, etc.). As a result, we've made it through our son's first 21 months very holistically, with only one medication thus far (he developed an ear infection that had lasted a few weeks, so we did an antibiotic for that, but now I have more information about homeopathic remedies from Dr. Neustaedter so would not do antibiotics again). I have also seen Dr. Neustaedter myself, as he also treats adults. Here's his information: Dr. Randall Neustaedter is a primary health care provider who has practiced homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and functional medicine for over 30 years, specializing in child health. He provides well-baby check-ups, acute care, and consultation about chronic conditions. He also treats adults for chronic conditions including immune system problems, allergies, headaches, digestive system illness, and many other issues.

Pediatricians ok with delayed vaccinations
March 2012
Hi Folks! Can anyone recommend a pediatrician that is ok with delaying vaccinations up to 2 years? Ideally this pediatrician would also be ok if I decided not to get my child certain vaccinations. Thanks, everyone! My head is still spinning from researching all this stuff. Victoria
Dr. Ann Parker in Alameda at Alameda Pediatrics is flexible about vaccinations. She has had many parents over the years with different views on vaccination. She is a great pediatricion, also. anon
Katya Gerwein at Bayside Medical is fantastic. She's been our 5 yr old son's pediatrician for several years and has always worked with us to determine the best vaccination course for our child. Melissa
Pediatrican or Family Doctor open to Alt Healing
Jan 2012
Can anyone refer a Pediatrician/Family Practice Doctor in the East Bay (Tri-Valley) Area who is good with kids and open minded (will consider/try alternative healing methods; not force vaccinations)? We have just moved to Livermore and are looking to find someone who fits this description who is within 30 min drive. Thanks. erica
Dr. Shannon McCune is a wonderful family doctor on Telegraph Ave. in south Berkeley. She is very open to alternative medicine treatment and refers patients often. She is a very open and sympathetic person. I think you would like her. She also has very good reviews on yelp.com that you might want to look at. She can be reached at (510) 204-8110. I understand the frustration of finding such doctors. I am an ''alternative health practitioner'' and have the same issue with finding traditional doctors that are open minded. Best of luck to you! Leah
There is a lovely practice called Sage Pediatrics in Oakland. I recommend Dr. Amy Maidenberg there. I was pleased by her gentle approach and ability to listen and offer information in a way that very much felt like she was supporting my choice as a parent. Given that I have more alternative perspectives than my husband and my mom when it comes to health, I was also really impressed at how well Amy was able to respectfully communicate with all of us in the same appointment. She also did a home visit, which felt so right for a small baby. I also appreciate that Amy is the mother of 2 little ones herself. If you'd like to contact her, the number is (510-984-6169) and their website is http://www.sagepeditrics.com/. Trina
Pediatrician Open to Alternative Vaccine Schedule?
March 2010
I'm having a baby any minute now and would like some local (Oakland, Berkeley) recommendations on a pediatrician that is more open to alternative medicine and is willing to break with the traditional vaccine schedule. Thanks! Carolyn
We go to Kiwi Pediatrics (652-1720) and are very happy with them. They are pro-vaccine, as are we, but I don't feel good about giving a baby a huge number of shots at once. We space them out, getting 1-2 on the appointed day, then coming in a couple weeks later for another 1-2, then a couple weeks later for more,... until we're done with that round. The doctor just told us which one(s) were the most urgent to get in that batch and we got those first. Not sure how much of an alternative schedule you want, but certainly for our slightly modified schedule, we didn't get any grief. Kiwi Fan
hi. i'm not sure how alternative you are looking for - spreading out most vaccines, or skipping many. if you are referring to spreading out vaccines i can recommend Dr. Meezan at The Pediatric Medical Group on Woolsey in Berkeley. we have taken our 20 month old daughter to her since birth. she always gives us her full time and attention, handles our daughter well, we like the nurses, she offers good advice, and has been open to us following Dr. Sears alternative schedule of spreading out vaccines. they also have separate healthy and sick kids waiting rooms, which we like. we have never given our daughter more than two shots at a time and we skipped the Hep B shot and the Rotovirus, since she stays home with me. they do not support anti-vaccination parenting, if that's what you were looking for. and a few months ago they told us that all their new patients had to get Varicella and MMR by age two. we are OK with this. she got Varicella yesterday and will get an MMR a month before she's 2. if you are OK with this too, then call them. if not, then i hope you get the help you were looking for. vicki
Check the archives, this was discussed a few months back. Our pediatrician (Kiwi Pediatrics ) were open for us to have an alternate vaccine schedule and also to refuse vaccines. We just had to sign a waiver form. anon
Though I do not like the office one bit because the wait is sooooo long (like 45 mins-1 hour! No kidding), I do go to Bayside Medical where Dr. Janet Perlman supports our Alternative Vaccine Schedule (we use Dr. Sears). I have heard that the other doctors in the practice are not at all happy with an alternative schedule.
However, I have decided we will switch to Pediatric Alternatives in Marin. They sound wonderful, well worth the drive. www.pediatricalternatives.com. I would also be interested in learning if any of the pediatricians in Berkeley Pediatrics Group support alternative vaccine schedules. Their webpage says they will not accept families who will not vaccinate, but I don't know what their policy is about alternative schedules (their policy is in pdf which I can't open for some reason). - Dr. Sears fan
In search of open-minded Pediatrician
Feb 2010
We are about to have our first child and don't have a history of pediatric care in the bay area (we're both from the east coast). We are a very earth-based, holistically minded couple in search of a pediatrician that is open to supporting a non-traditional approach to pediatric care, i.e. the schedule of vaccinations (whether or not we get them), etc. We're in Oakland and are covered by BCBS PPO. Any suggestions/recommendations would be welcome and appreciated. Thank you- first-time parents
My husband and I were also looking for the same when we were looking for a Pediatrician for our first child when she was born. We tried a few Pediatricians at Kaiser before asking around and found out about Dr. Naomi Bolden . She is very kind and very open to the idea that we wanted to do the vacinations on an alternative schedule. Our experience with Kaiser that a lot better than I thought it would be. In general I found the Kaiser staff to be accepting of what we wanted our birthing experience to be. We chose not to have the baby cleaned after birth because we wanted to do that once we got home as a bonding experience and they were okay with that. Best of luck! Claudia
2007 - 2009 Recommendations
Pediatricians open to modified vacc schedule
August 2009
Looking for a pediatrician that is open to a modified vaccination schedule that is near Benicia. I have read most of the posts about the doctors in and around Berkeley. I was hoping there might be one closer to East Vallejo/Benicia area. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sasha
When our favorite pediatrician moved away from Benicia, we were not able to find a local doctor who would work with our modified immunization requests. In fact, we were flat-out denied service. We ended up finding a great pediatrician in Pinole. His name is Michael Linn and he is with Bayside Pediatrics . Their ph# is 510-724-8300. He is the nicest guy and respects the parents' viewpoints on immunizations. JOJ
Pediatrician who honors an ''alternative'' vaccine schedule
June 2009
Hi All, I am in search of a Pediatrician who honors an ''alternative'' vaccine schedule. Anyone out there had any luck finding one??? Would really appreciate some help. tired of being chastised for deviating
We've not had any issues or commentary as we've discussed, delayed and deferred vaccines with Dr. Janet Perlman at Bayside Medical on Telegraph in Berkeley. Anon
Dr. Winokur at Kiwi Pediatrics has been quite tolerant of my very alternative vaccination schedule. concerned Mom
We go to Kiwi Pediatrics in Albany (they have an office in Berkeley) and we're on an alternate vaccine schedule. They didn't argue too much w/ me when I proposed it on our first visit. I just had to sign papers. And when I talked to the pedi, it sounded like they've got many families they see who don't get any vaccination. They do try to get you to get vaccinated, but it's not to the level of badgering, so I've been okay w/ it. Their new doctor though (I don't remember her name) is a bit more forceful and I did not like her attitude so I just make sure we don't see her during our visits. anon
The poster is asking for a flexible schedule, and has received that information. But for the sake of the child, and because of misinformation provided at times in response to this question, I would like to provide some documented information as a physician and Berkeley parent.
Pediatric vaccines are recommended because they prevent devastating diseases, which are not entirely absent in the US today. A mother of a 7 month old in Minnesota discovered this when her child died of Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib) meningitis in 2008, when she had delayed vaccination because of concerns about possible adverse effects. This case is reported in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, January 30, 2009 / 58(03);58-60 which states ''...During 2008 in Minnesota, five children aged 5 months to 3 years were reported with invasive Hib disease; one died. The patients resided in five different counties in Minnesota and had no known relationship to each other. Three patients had received no vaccinations because of parent or guardian deferral or refusal....''
Overall, Hib disease has around a 5% fatality rate--and about a quarter of survivors of meningitis have long term neurologic damage. The Hib vaccine is over 95% effective, and very safe. I think it is crucial for parents to have accurate information in making important decisions for their children. informed decision maker
Holistic Pediatrician in East Bay area
March 2009
Looking for a referral to a holistic pediatrician in the East Bay Area. Thank you! Julia
Hi there. I am an acupuncturist and herbalist in Emeryville specializing with children & I get this question all the time.
Unfortunately, there are currently no western medical practitioners in the east bay that actually practice holistic medicine. The closest option we have in the east bay are Medical Doctors that accept/support/tolerate parents' use of an alternative therapies for their children.
There is a group in Mill Valley called Pediatric Alternatives- and another group down in Bellemont that consist of MDs practicing holistic medicine in their practice.
Pediatric Alternatives-type in Berkeley?
Feb 2009
I am very interested in the Pediatric Alternatives practice in Mill Valley, but don't want to travel that far for pediatrics care. Is there any place near Berkeley that offers an integrative approach to children's health care? From the Pediatric Alternatives website: ''Integrative Medicine [combines] western medicine with alternative care, including herbal remedies and classical homeopathy.'' Their doctors are both MD and NDs. Thanks!
I have been practicing pediatric acupuncture and naturopathy in Berkeley for 25 years. During that time a number of MD pediatricians have come to my attention as being more open to working with alternative approaches. Sometimes they stay the course, sometimes they become more strict about what they will allow their patients to do or not do (eg. vaccinations, etc). I cannot recommend particular physicians to the public but I can suggest physician referrals to my own clients. I have to say, though, that their numbers have decreased over the years.
Pediatrician friendly to attachment parenting
Jan 2009
I'm looking for a pediatrician who is attachment parenting-friendly and who has a warm, generous, caring style. I am currently with Bayside Pediatriacs and, while I like the doctors OK, I hope to find an office that isn't so rushed with such impossibly long wait times. I also have an image in my head of a deeply kind, big-hearted pediatrician who remembers my son from visit to visit, who is a brilliant physician, who takes the time to teach us about our health, and who supports and even facilitates methods of healing that aren't always about medication. Also, someone who supports a delayed vaccine schedule and doesn't think that elimination communication is weird. I would like to *love* our pediatrician! We're in Berkeley. Thank you! Happy New Year! - lookin' for a big heart
I have to recommend our pediatrician, Dr. Wolffe Nadoolman in Berkeley. His website is www.private-pediatrics.medem.com Our kids absolutely love him. He knows them and practices what he believes about taking time to make the children feel open and secure. They look forward to seeing him. The level of care is like something from a different generation.
That said, I have no idea what he knows about elimination communication. I think he'd be ok with adjusting the vaccine schedule, but I know he is firm on kids getting vaccinated. Go and talk to him, and ask him. Frank
Pediatrician open to alternative modalities
Nov 2008
I am looking for a pediatrician, and open to a health care professional from a different discipline, for my 5 year old daughter and my baby-on-the-way. We want someone who is open to alternative modalities, and supportive of our following an alternative vaccine schedule. Here's the catch: I need someone who will bill my insurance. Cynthia
Hi there. There are no medical doctors located in the east bay that I currently know of that are holistically minded practitioners. There is a great practice up in Mill Valley and another one down in Bellemont. Unfortunately, the best that I have come across in the east bay are MDs that are open to alternative care for their patients, but are not actually practicing it. Jill
we have been going to dr.janet pearlman at bayside medical on telegraph in berkeley: (510) 843-4544. she is open to alternative vaccination schedules and very receptive to alternative modalities such as homeopathy. haia
Pro-homebirth pediatrician
Sept 2008
The pediatrician doesn't have to be PRO-homebirth, just homebirth-FRIENDLY, but that wouldn't fit in the heading. :) We're having a daughter in mid-January, hopefully at home, and we would like to know if anyone has had experience with homebirth and any of the female pediatricians at East Bay Pediatrics. Our three-year-old son sees Dr. Richard Oken at East Bay Pediatrics, and although we think he's a great doctor, he's old-school and old-fashioned and (although we haven't yet asked him for his opinion) probably not a fan of homebirth. (Also, he's male, and we'd like a female doctor at the same practice for our daughter.) Thanks for any advice you can share! Nicole R.
Dr. Gerwein and other doctors at Bayside Pediatrics on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley (just kitty corner from Whole Foods) is homebirth-friendly. Dr. Gerwein is respectful of our choices, inc. delaying vaccination or not having them. I believe they will also do a home visit if you are close enough to their office. One other place I'd try is Dr. Janet Himmelvo in Point Richmond, of Point Richmond Family Practice. She does home visits and I'm pretty sure is friendly to homebirthers. She and her partner just had a baby a few months ago. http://www.prfamilypractice.com/Site/Welcome.html

SF pediatricians open to modified vac schedule
April 2008
Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for good SF-based pediatricians who support delayed/modified vaccination schedules. Thanks! anon
I had a baby in SF last year, and man did I make a lot of phone calls looking for an SF pediatrician who could meet my needs! I started out on Yelp! and BPN and got some recommendations from my midwives, but unfortunately I didn't save my notes from all the phone calls. One office manager explained to me why they do not allow parents to tinker with vaccination schedules - she said that insurance companies note which doctors do not vaccinate on the CDC schedule and ding them for it. More than one office told me that if I were to bring my child there as a patient, they would require me to sign a form saying I would adhere to the CDC vaccination schedule. No thank you! The only office I found that looked like it would work for me is Noe Valley Pediatrics ((415) 641-1019), which was conveniently a few blocks from my house... and they were not taking new clients (I was due in late September '07).
Since it looked like I was going to have to drive 30 minutes anyway to get to the CPMC end of town, I decided to go with Bayside Medical Group in Berkeley. We see Dr. Jenna Seiff, and have had a very good experience with her. We are splitting all our vaccinations so we go twice as often for half the number of shots. We also decided to skip Hep B until age 10, skip rotovirus completely, and delay chicken pox until school age. This has been absolutely no problemo with them.
There is a new pediatric clinic which opened just a few months ago - it's medical professionals who have recently left St. Luke's and it's on the corner of I think Church and 29th. I perused their website and they sounded open to flexible vaccination. I would have switched but they don't work as well with my insurance situation. I'll keep my eyes open next time I drive by and post again with the name of it if I can.

Pediatrician open to no/few vaccines?
March 2008
Can anyone recommend a pediatrician in the Alta Bates medical group that doesn't push vaccines? I'm having my first baby in June and would love to find a natural leaning doctor for our new baby. Lesly
Hi, we are ''up to date'' with our vaccines, so I can't say from first-hand experience that we would be totally supported if we had chosen not to. However, I can recommend our Ped's practice: Kiwi Pediatrics (Dr. Kittams, Dr. Winokur, Dr. Salzberg). They have been very willing to discuss my concerns about some of the new vaccines and have been willing to let me hold off on one of them. I also remember their names coming up in a similar post about 6 years ago when we were also looking for a ped. Though, that is second-hand information. anon
We go to Dr. Janet Pearlman . We've only seen her a couple of times now, but we were real straight forward about the fact that we do not vaccinate, and so far she has been supportive. Before that we were seeing Dr. Kittams and he had said that he would be supportive, but every time we went he was telling us why we should vaccinate. Some of his reasons were very far fetched, and it got old real fast. anon
My two sons age 5 & 3 are have had almost no vaccines. We see Dr. Janet Perlman at Bayside Medical at 510-452-5231 in Berkeley near whole foods. She also has an office in Oakland. She is wonderful and respectful. She has never made us feel irresponsible for refusing vaccines. She is also great about the use of antibiotics. My younger son has had frequent ear infections and she has never pushed us to use antibiotics but has instead kept a close watch on him. All of these infections have turned out to be viral and have gone away within days. She is very kind to our children and she seems to be up on the more recent studies regarding pediatrics. She has raised a few kids herself and I find her to be very real around issues of eating, sleep, potty training and behavoir. I think there are some other docs in the office who support the delay or refusal of vaccines. Herbal Momma
You may want to check out Pediatric Alternatives in Mill Valley. We absolutely love the practice and find the drive well worth it. www.pediatricalternatives.com . They integrate the best of Eastern and Western medicine and are very supportive of a parents choice to not vaccinate or vaccinate selectively one at a time. fan of pediatric alternatives!
Practice that will accept non-vaccinated kids
Oct 2007
If there is anyone who can help me finding a doctors practice that will take non- vaccinated children, I would be really grateful. I have just moved here from England 8 weeks ago and would like to find a sympathetic doctor, who won't try to convince me to vaccinate. I have three young boys aged 6 1/2, 4 1/2 and 9 mths. Thanks. lucy
Dr. Janet Perlman, Bayside Pediatrics. She's the greatest. No hassle whatsoever about vaccines. Totally respects your choice. Homebirthed her own kids. She totally honors that I am an acupuncturist mom and don't use allopathic medicine except for certain kinds of cases. Smart, engaging, very experienced. I can't recommend her highly enough. Be aware that not every practitioner in the practice is like her, though. So it's worth the wait to get in to see her. Happy, holistic mom
Pediatrician that is NOT hot on Vaccines
April 2007
As part of my research I would like to interview one or two Pediatricians that are NOT hot on Vaccines. Any recommendations? Annon
Dr Perlman on telegraph is very definitely ''not hot'' on vaccines. Definitely check her out, we've had many pediatricians (3 kids) and love her best. christine
I just want to say that Janet Perlman of Bayside Medical Group (in Oakland 510.452.5231) has a very pragmatic approach to vaccines and as a result most her patients (or their parents) choose what she calls a ''boutique'' approach to vaccines-- setting their own timeline, choosing which ones are important to them at which stages, if at all. She has helped me immensely in balancing my desire to protect my child with my concerns about overburdening his immune system with too many vaccines. I also know people under her care who have had no vaccines. In general she leaves the parenting up to the parents--and doesn't pass judgement or have a specific agenda about how that should happen. This means however, that you have to be willing to do your homework--bring in your questions and concerns and advocate for your child and your parenting choices. She won't tell you what to do--which I think can also be stressful for new parents--but ultimately it is a gift and a rare one. Corey

Limited Immunizations & Alternative Medicine2001
We are looking for a new pediatrician for our seven months old son who was born at home and hasn't had any vaccinations yet. We would like a pediatrician who won't freak out by this, and, preferably, is also open to alternative medicine. Also, we would like the pediatrician's office to be reachable by public transport. (This is one reason why I don't want to see Dr. Gill who is recommended by the website.)

Limited Immunizations & Open to Homeopathy1999
We're looking for a pediatrician for our 16 month old. Previous postings that I've seen here didn't address our very specific wishes. We'd like someone who is fantastic with the child (and his lesbian parents...), and who is supportive or at least comfortable with various choices we're making, including limited and flexibly-timed immunizations, use of alternative medicine (such as homeopathy), family bed, and who doesn't keep us waiting in their office for more than 15-20 minutes (we waited 1.5 hours last week for our doctor!). Kind office and nursing staff are also important to us. Thanks in advance.

Cher Backpedals on Miley Cyrus Criticism: "TRUTHFULLY SHE WAS Fkng BRILLIANT"
She seemed to have joined the Miley Cyrus backlash bandwagon, but now Cher is expounding on comments she made about her controversial VMA performance.
In an interview with E! News, the iconic diva had said, "I don't give a s--t if she comes out naked. Just be better, do better."
A series of misspelled tweets on Wednesday clarified her position, as she began, " Re:Miley S....I Think What I Think,but Having Said That...I'm a little ashamed (which is Total bullshit,how can u B a LITTLE ASHAMED) that I didn't keep my big Opinionated mouth Shut.WTF is MY PROBLEM ! I'm 2 Old to fall prey 2 'Tell us, Oh wise 1,What did YOU think of M.S ?'"
If she could turn back time, the 67-year-old entertainer admits, "What I should have said,'I didn't like it that much,but she's Pushing The Envelope,being an ARTIST ! She's Talented,& DIDNT COMMIT A FELONY But somehow my ego had 2 get ITS 2 CENTS IN! MY BIG ASS 'BAD',I DIDNT SUPPORT A FELLOW ARTIST. TRUTHFULLY SHE WAS Fkng BRILLIANT..CAUSE.. WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT."
However, generally having no regrets, she noted, "Ps this is Not an apology 4 what I Thought,its a Reminder,that if I don't practice my principles,I loose Them."

Looking at the Rotation Depth With Cole and Locke Struggling Lately
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been carried by their starting pitching all year. The reason the starting pitching has been able to carry the team all year has been due to depth, with the assist going to the defensive shifts that have kept the numbers down for everyone. But defensive shifts can only do so much, and they can't do anything if you don't have a good foundation of pitching to work with.
We're getting to the end of the 2013 season, and about to enter the final stretch of the playoff push. The Pirates currently have a one game lead in the NL Central. In eight days, rosters will expand, giving the Pirates a chance to bring up more of their starting pitching depth. That depth might be coming at the perfect time too.
Yesterday we heard the news that Wandy Rodriguez would visit Dr....

The graphic design program has just opened a letterpress and polymer plate studio--acquired recently from publisher Greg Britton--next door to the Surface Design Studio in McNeal Hall. We have 50 cases of lead type (but we're looking for more!) and a Vandercook SP-15 cylinder press, a Vandercook proofing press, and an Ostrander Seymour iron hand press, circa 1896.
The reintroduction of this predigital design technology into our curriculum reflects our program's belief in the continuing value of the handmade in the design process. Contemporary design practice and design thinking continues to draw on the influence of the endlessly engaging possibility and surprise of the handmade in our lives.
Polymer plate printing--digital text or image files are made into plates that can be hand printed like letterpress--allows design students to work back and forth between digital and nondigital design. In letterpress printing, all the senses participate in the design process: the sight of the letterforms, the hand cranking of the press, the texture of the paper, the hissing sound of the ink on the rollers, even the smell of the ink. Students can experience the direct feel of how the point size of their lead type literally affects the gravity of their typographic design.
Far from being anachronistic, nondigital design processes are central in the world of digital design. Letterpress brings the digits back into the digital.
James Boyd-Brent is an associate professor of graphic design.

Career Services lends a helping hand in getting hired
Patrick Stump releases new solo to make up for delay of album. Caitlin Nolan
"College goes by pretty quickly," said Stephen Cole, the executive director of Career Services. "All of a sudden you come in senior year and see the countdown clock in Donnelly Hall and the panic sets in as you think to yourself, 'What am I going to do?'"
To combat this, Marist's Center for Career Services is working with students to help them gain the professional edge that they need to standout in an increasingly competitive job market by providing major to career guidance, mock interviews, resume and cover letter assistance and career and interest assessments, among other things.
"We want to help you seize your dream," Cole said. "The way we do this is by providing students with a series of strategies and a game plan."
Students seem to be taking advantage of these opportunities. On Sept. 19, over 200 students attended Career Services' Résumé Day, an event where students had the opportunity to have their résumé critiqued by professionals in the recruitment field.
The next event that Career Services is hosting is the Fall 2012 Career and Internship Fair, which will be held on Thursday, Oct. 4 in the McCann Center from 4-7 p.m. Over 50 companies will be in attendance looking to hire students for internship and career positions.
"Attending the career fair is a great way to build interpersonal skills," Cole said. "While there, you can talk to professional recruiters and gain contacts from professionals in your field of interest."
The Career and Internship Fair takes place once a semester and draws in companies from across the country.
"Last year's career fair was one of the most valuable events I've been to in my three years at Marist," said Daniel Scofield, a junior who is studying sports communication and journalism. "Each representative I met with was extremely helpful and interested in my résumé. I've talked to a few of them a few times since and it's looking like I will have an internship already lined up for this summer."
Even if students are not necessarily looking for a specific job or internship, attending the career fair may help them gain more insight on how professional interviews are conducted and what the recruiting process will be like when the time comes for them to find a job. However, for those students who are looking to use the career fair as an opportunity to find an employer, career development professor Ellyn Enisman offered a few things for students to keep in mind.
"The recruiters who come to the career fair are looking for talented future hires," said Enisman, who is also the creator of the website http://collegetocareercoaching.com. "They are serious when they come, so students should come prepared."
Enisman has over 27 years of experience in interview coaching, career counseling and corporate recruiting.
She stresses that it is crucial for students to do their research before interviewing with any employer. Students who plan on attending the career fair should identify what employers they want to meet with and research what skills and experience they are looking for in a potential hire. From there, the student should think about his or her own skills and experience and come up with a 15-second "elevator pitch" that they can give to recruiters about themselves.
Once students have done the research, Enisman recommends they come to the career fair with a portfolio containing copies of their résumé, and if they are in a field that require them to show examples of their work, such as journalism, they should also bring some clippings of their writing.
"You should have three copies of your résumé for each employer you plan on meeting with," Enisman said.
As far as personal appearance is concerned, students should dress professionally but understated. Less is more, especially when it comes to make-up and jewelry for women.
"A good way to remember each employer you met with is to get their personal business card and write a note on the back of each one summarizing the meeting," Enisman said. "After the fair, make sure to send an email to each employer that you met, thanking them for their time."
Career Services is also offering services for students looking to pursue a graduate degree by hosting a Graduate School Forum on Wednesday, Oct. 24 from 3-6 p.m. in the Cabaret.
"It is a difficult employment season and it is going to stay difficult," Cole said. "We want to assist you to become successful in that environment because when students enter the professional world, we are behind them."

I have a problem where when I add this CSS property -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; to a tag. The images on the website only shows up rounded in safari but not firefox.
Sorry for my english.
P.S Here's the website Click Here
Images in the sidebar ad area.
The problem is that you're not actually "rounding" the image itself… Just the border.
So to cure this problem, add a 1px solid border that's a bit darker than the background color to be able to see the effect. (if you make the border the same color as the bg, then the rounded border won't be visible, thus ruining the effect)
So to recap… You should change your css to look like this:
.ads img, .ads.flickr .content img { -moz-border-radius:4px; border:1px solid #777777; margin:0 14px 15px 0; }
Hope that helps!

Another Missing Jet Mystery: How Much Will the Epic Search Cost?By
There's no easy way to put a price tag on the hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which has become an international obsession with a multinational cast of searchers in the days since its March 8 disappearance.
China—the home of most of the 239 missing people—has joined Malaysia, Indonesia, and Australia in carrying the heaviest burden in terms of equipment and costs. The U.S. has budgeted $4 million to aid the hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, a small fraction of untold millions so far spent on the almost three-week effort involving equipment and personnel from more than two dozen countries.
A full public accounting will likely wait until a definitive outcome, since no one involved wants to appear callous or insensitive. The clearest comparison in terms of expense might come from the two-year search for debris, victims, and flight data recorders after the 2009 crash of an Air France flight into the Atlantic Ocean, which cost more than $40 million. The number of nations involved in the current search far exceeds the hunt for Air France Flight 447, led by France and Brazil in waters deeper than 15,000 feet. The U.S. Navy, as it has in the Malaysia Airlines search, sent ships to assist, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts donated scientific expertise and submersible equipment. An investigator in the Air France search told the U.K.'s Telegraph last week that the Malaysian jet search will likely prove more difficult—and potentially more expensive—given the relative lack of clues from the missing airplane.
The inventory of military equipment engaged in the search is extensive. Malaysia has deployed six ships, three helicopters, and two airplanes. China has sent 10 ships, three airplanes, and three helicopters. Australia has contributed five ships of its own, including the HMAS Success, a 157-meter ship that would be used to collect any large pieces of debris that may be found. Australian military aircraft, meanwhile, have been flying search sorties. The United Kingdom has dispatched the HMS Echo, a specialized survey vessel, to help search the sea almost 1,600 miles southwest of Perth. India, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates have all sent aircraft to help.
Malaysia Airlines has already paid $5,000 to the families of each of the 227 passengers on Flight 370, or about $1.1 million in total, leaving aside other costs likely borne by the airline during the search.
The U.S. has been a smaller part of the international effort. About $1.5 million remains of the $4 million set aside by U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to fund search operations through early April. "And then I think we have to reassess and decide whether we need to do more," says Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Pool, a Pentagon spokesman. He dismissed questions about U.S. taxpayers' spending as "a false story," given the Navy's routine daily operations in the region. "The ships would have been sailing anyway." The search operation, Pool adds, "is good training for them" in the event a future calamity involves a U.S. aircraft or requires a search in U.S. waters.
The U.S. spends heavily to project a military presence around the globe, particularly since President Obama has identified the Pacific Rim as a priority of U.S. military engagement. The destroyer USS Kidd, which was dispatched to the search for more than a week, patrols the South China Sea as part of its regular mission. A second destroyer, the USS Pinckney, has been sent to Singapore for maintenance work after searching for more than a week. Two of the Pentagon's surveillance aircraft flying search routes in the southern Indian Ocean are based at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan.
Of course, a huge and almost completely unknowable expense comes from the massive collection and analysis of satellite imagery, such as the intense effort conducted by Inmarsat, the British satellite operator responsible for calculating what is believed to be the flight's last-known position. France, China, Britain, and the U.S. have all contributed satellite data and expertise to the search.
The U.S. Navy also has sent a Bluefin-21 underwater surveillance drone—capable of operating at depths as low as 14,700 feet—to Australia for use in the search. A separate electronic pinger detector device was also deployed to help with the search. The device, called a TPL-25, is towed by a ship and can detect underwater signals at depths of 20,000 feet or more.

Jimmy Wayne Joins Garth Brooks in Honoring a Legend
Sunday evening (October 17), hit songwriters Pat Alger and Steve Cropper, the late pop/country star Paul Davis, and America's first professional songwriter, Stephen Foster, were inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame during the organization's 40th Anniversary Hall of Fame Dinner & Induction Ceremony, held at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville. Among the artists who helped pay tribute to the legendary writers were Tanya Tucker, T. Graham Brown, Jim Lauderdale, Garth Brooks and Jimmy Wayne.
The night was a special occasion for Jimmy Wayne on many personal levels, including being handpicked by Pat Alger to sing a three-song medley of 'Goin' Gone,' 'True Love' and 'Small Town Saturday Night,' all of which were penned by the songwriter.
"I got a phone call from Pat Alger, and he asked me if I would be interested in singing three songs that he had written," Jimmy tells The Boot. "I said, 'Sure … what's the occasion?' He was very humble. He says, 'Well, I'm being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.'
"I started whooping and hollering, and he was just so humble about it. There are thousands of songwriters who come through this town a year and less than 200 are in the Hall of Fame. There are a thousand songs a day written in Nashville, and Pat is now a Hall of Famer. That is amazing to me. I'm blown away by that. Everybody wants to be in the Hall of Fame, especially a songwriter, because it all starts with a song. No one in the music business would have a job if it was not for the songwriters; even if the artists wrote their own songs, they're still a songwriter. Thank God for these people like Pat Alger who write great songs."
Jimmy also had the honor of meeting Garth Brooks for the first time in his career at the event. "The first time I met him, I'm doing an event with him," Jimmy said afterward. "That's pretty exciting. Usually an introduction starts with a handshake, but we jumped onstage together. Tonight I didn't win an award, but I kind of felt like I did. I got picked by Pat Alger to sing his hit songs along side of Garth Brooks. It's a big deal to me. It's the biggest thing I've done in my career, I guarantee. This is center stage, baby!"
Jimmy is currently working on some songwriting of his own: preparing for his highly-anticipated album inspired by his Meet Me Halfway solo-walk across America to raise awareness for teen homelessness. He has already penned three songs for the project, including a song co-written with Steve Wariner.

In the 14th year of the Tenpo era, there was a secret shrine for "Bansha Aratamesho" (a research institution for foreign literature and learners) under the city of Edo. To the public, this organization was punishing the scholars who studied the Western Culture. However, this organization's true mission was far more significant. Bansha Aratamesho was responsible to slay the "Yoh-is", the evil spirits with flesh and blood from another world, that were expanding into Edo. Bansha Aratamesho is not an official organization. Members do not have the typical credentials to be the vassal of Shogun. It consists of a man who lost his memory, a man who was raised in a mountain and a girl who dresses up in a man's outfit. Their special powers are yet to be known, but they all have special abilities that help slay the Yoh-is.The code name given to them is – "Ayashi". Ayashis collect all types of information that seems bizarre. With thorough investigation, they locate the Yoh-is and hunt them down.
