Should we keep children in booster seats until they are 12?
Australian child restraint safety authorities suggest our laws aren't doing enough to protect children in cars, pushing for new laws that up the age a child should be in a booster seat to 12.
This column originally appeared on The Advertiser. By Katrina Stokes.
Children should be in booster seats up to the age of twelve unless they meet a minimum height requirement, new child restraint guidelines advise parents.
Current laws stipulate that children up to seven years of age must travel with a forward-facing child safety seat with in-built harness or approved booster seat.
But the new guidelines advise parents to be much more cautious, and use a child restraint or booster seat until children are between 145cm and 150cm tall, or are twelve years of age.
Why do we need to change current laws?
The guidelines – created by Neuroscience Research Australia and Kidsafe – provide best practice recommendations approved by the National Health and Medical Research Council.
Both organisations want the Federal Government to consider changing the current laws.
Head author of the new guidelines Professor Lynne Bilston, of Neuroscience Research Australia, said the current law emphasised the "bare minimum" when it comes to car safety.
"(They) don't cover everything that parents need to know … the law only covers children up to seven," she said.
Professor Bilston said she hoped the guidelines would save dozens of lives in providing parents with up-to-date information about how to keep their kids safe.
Every year in Australia, 60 to 80 children die as a result of a car crash and 3,000 are seriously injured.
Professor Bilston said parents should:
- Keep babies in a rear-facing restraint until they grow out of the device.
- Put children in a forward-facing restraint with built-in harness up until they are at least 4 years of age.
- Use a forward-facing booster seat for all children until they are at least 8 to 10 years of age.

Professor Bilston said she hoped the Federal Government would consider changing laws to raise the minimum age children can use adult seat belts.
As Kidsafe celebrated National Kidsafe Day last week, the organisation's SA chief executive officer, Holly Fitzgerald, said the new guidelines allowed parents to access consistent car-safety advice for the first time.
"It's a resource that is very needed and it will enable all child safety groups to be on the same page and produce the same advice so it's clear for parents and carers," she said.
Ms Fitzgerald said that changing child restraint laws was something the organisation would look at pushing in the future.
"Children do differ in terms of weight and height (so) parents need to be checking all the details on the child car restraint they have and make sure they're in an appropriate child car restraint for their age and size," she said.

Mother-of-three Bianca Shuttleworth, of Parkside, said the safety of her children Layla, 4, Zara, 3, and Jackson, 14 months, was paramount.
"We went as far as buying a car that would be able to fit the car seats that we have," she said. "We had to get a newer car because they were fairly wide and we wanted to make sure the kids were safe."
The new guidelines:
- Infants are safest if they remain in their rear-facing restraints as long as they still fit in their rear-facing restraint.
- Once a child is too tall for their rear-facing child restraint, they should use a forward-facing one until they are too tall for it.
- Once a child is too tall for a forward-facing child restraint, they should use a booster seat.
- For children using a booster seat or adult seat belt, ensure they use a lap-and-shoulder belt.
- Children 12 years of age and under are safest in a rear car seat.
- Use a car that allows each child to be in the appropriate restraint for their size.
The laws:
- Every person in a motor vehicle must have their own restraint.
- Children up to four years old must not travel in the front seat of a vehicle that has two or more rows of seats.
- Children aged four to seven years old must not travel in the front seat of a vehicle unless all other back seats are occupied by children who are also under seven.
- Children over six months to use either a rear-facing restraint or a forward-facing restraint. Children four years and older to use either a forward-facing child restraint or a booster seat.
- Allows children seven years and older to use either a booster seat or a seat belt by itself.

U-M News video about BioBlitz on U-M Gateway
About 80 students from Detroit's Western International High School gathered to conduct a biodiversity survey on Belle Isle with the help of U-M EEB volunteers. The students began to locate and identify mammals and birds; trees, shrubs and other plants; amphibians; reptiles; insects; and fungi on Wednesday morning, April 24, 2013. But, even the best laid plans sometimes fall victim to the weather.
Unfortunately, it was a cold and rainy (sometimes snowy) morning and so between creatures taking cover and worksheets getting soggy, not to mention cold and wet students, the group detoured into the Belle Isle Nature Zoo and the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory to make the most of the day. They did manage to gather some useful information, mostly on birds and plants, which will be entered into the inaturalist database.
The purpose of the annual event is to promote local ecological knowledge and to increase participation of underrepresented groups in ecological education. The Belle Isle event is part of BioBlitz, a series of rapid biodiversity surveys being conducted this year on college campuses across the country, coordinated by local chapters of the Ecological Society of America's SEEDS (Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability) program.
The outing was sponsored by the U-M's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, School of Natural Resources and Environment, U-M chapter of the Ecological Society of America's SEEDS program, Detroit Zoological Society and Belle Isle Conservancy.
Special thanks to EEB and biology student volunteers: Beatriz Otero Jimenez, one of the primary event coordinators and a graduate student mentor with SEEDS, Marcella Baiz, Katy Lazarus (undergraduate), Naim Edwards, Thomas Jenkinson, Clarisse Betancourt, John Marino, Tatia Bauer, (undergraduate), Mariana Valencia Mestre, and Omar Bonilla.

Should I Buy or Continue Renting?
Home ownership has achieved near mythic status as an essential element of the American Dream. So deeply ingrained has this concept of the American Dream become that it is all too easy to forget that at the turn of the 20th century, just 36.5 percent of Americans owned their own homes. When making the decision of whether or not now is the right time to buy a house, it is important to take the time to separate the facts from the myths relating to home ownership and its benefits.
Isn't home ownership Always The Best Choice?
When considering renting a home or buying one, there are always two key principles to understand; the practical matters and the matters of the heart. Matters of the heart are quite subjective and vary greatly from person to person. Where one likes a home in the country, the other prefers a brownstone in the city; these are matters of the heart. One prefers a place where the pets can roam and the other doesn't like yard work. These small matters of the heart can have a huge impact on the decision to rent or buy, even thought the person who makes a buy or rent a home decision by looking at just one of the variables is choosing to see only part of the picture. In the end, it may be all she needs to be happy.
However, for the purposes of our analysis, and because no one can determine what is in the heart of another, we'll look first at the numbers and then later at the intangibles, and in the process provide an objective means of answering the question of whether you should buy or rent a home.
Know the Numbers
It's a generally accepted fact that during times of easy credit home ownership rates increase, however access to capital should not be the only deciding factor in whether you purchase a home. To help make that decision you must look at three timelines; the long term, the intermediate term, and the short term. Your analysis of each will determine whether buying a home is more cost efficient than renting.
Consider the following example*
- The renter starts out paying $800 per month with annual increases of 5%
- The homeowner buys a home for $110,000 with a monthly mortgage of $1,000
Rent Payment
Mortgage Payment
Monthly Difference
After Tax Savings
Yearly Difference
After Tax Savings
Short Term Considerations
For the first three years you'll notice renting provides a significant advantage over home ownership, and a monthly savings ranging from $118 a month all the way up to $200. This is also the period in which you'll be adjusting to home ownership expenses like property taxes, and larger property maintenance bills.
If your budget does not permit the elevated mortgage payment required in the short term, then the few dollars that renting saves you can make a big difference in your life and may warrant that you stay a renter.
Homeownership allows certain tax advantages, and considering them here, yields a small savings after the third year. Still, the $32 savings is barely enough to fill a gas tank.
Intermediate Term
In years 4 and 5 you'll notice the constant mortgage payment realized through home ownership begins to chip away at the rising rent, such that the savings seen through renting is minimized. The tax consequences make a further push for home ownership, and once realized, can make room for nearly $1,500 per year. That money can be easily applied to property taxes, and other costs of home ownership, such that the by vs. rent question becomes a neutral proposition.
Long Term Considerations
You'll notice that after six years of stable monthly payments the homeowner is now paying less per month than the renter, who has been subject to rent increases each year. This makes a strong argument for home ownership. When you consider the tax savings of home ownership (ability to deduct mortgage interest and taxes), that argument is made even stronger. Here, the homeowner is saving more that $2,500 per year, a number which will continue to rise over time.
Further Advantages and Disadvantages of Homeownership
There are advantages and disadvantages to both renting and owning a home. For the homeowner, you can expect to pay property taxes, higher maintenance costs, and even things like local taxes, school taxes, and city fees. As a renter, you are not responsible for these fees, and depending on the building in which you live, you may not even pay utilities like water, cable, or sewer – all items you will pay separately as a homeowner.
The obvious advantage of home ownership is that you are free to do with your property what you choose. You can paint the walls any color you like, add a room off the back of the home, or even replace the kitchen sink. As a renter, you're stuck with what you have in the apartment, and are rarely able to make improvements or changes of any kind.
However, renting gives you more freedom and mobility then home ownership, especially if you plan to use bank financing to purchase that home. A long term mortgage could lock you into one property for 30 years or more, whereas renters usually sign lease agreements one year at a time. Also, mortgages require good credit, down payments, and stable income and employment. Persons without those things may find it hard to qualify for a loan, and thus may be forced to rent until such time they can qualify for financing. Persons with excellent credit may find loan interest rates low enough to offer a monthly mortgage payment even lower than rent for a comparable property, allowing the homeowner to accelerate his savings.
The size of your family can also have an impact on whether you rent or own a home. Larger families may find it impossible to fit into smaller apartment units, and opt rather to live in a home with room for the kids to play. Smaller couples or empty nesters may find the extra room of a home too much responsibility and opt for a small, more contained unit like an apartment.
When Is Home Ownership The Right Choice?
Making the decision to buy a home is a serious one, and should be made according to the facts, rather than an idealized vision of how life should be. Achieving the American Dream of home ownership is a worthwhile goal, and one that can be achieved with information on current mortgage rates, local market prices, and a careful cost benefit analysis.
1) For many, renting can provide a better home in a better area than they could afford to buy and is cheaper than owning. And, the money saved during the renting period could be saved and invested at a higher rate of return. The period of time spent renting and saving could also be used to repair and improve credit, so that when the time does come to buy a house, it will be possible to get a mortgage with more favorable terms, conditions and interest rates.
2) home ownership right now is not always the best choice. Sometimes, the smarter financial choice is to rent and save, while working towards improving credit and achieving other life stabilizing goals, such as finishing education and progressing in a solid career.
3) There are many advantages to home ownership and in many circumstances it is the smart choice. Often, it is a matter of timing. There are points in the life cycle that owning a home makes more sense than at others.
4) For those just starting out in life, buying a home may be premature, as it is harder to move when there is a house to sell first. Therefore, it may be smarter to wait to buy a home until other life decisions have been made, such as career choices, the area that one wants to live, and whether one wants to marry and start a family.
5) When such life choices are settled, then many of the benefits of home ownership are more useful. Instead of paying rent, the homeowner is building equity. Because that is a process that takes place over time, its value isn't fully realized unless it is in a place that a person intends to stay for a while.
6) There are a variety of tax advantages attached to home ownership, as well. Furthermore, if you take your time and choose well, and have the added advantage of savings and good credit, owning can work out to be less expensive than renting. Typically, though, accumulating enough savings and building reliable credit are achieved at a later point in the life cycle, rather than being available to those just starting out.
7) home ownership is a smart choice when you have reached a more stable plateau in your life. You've decided on a life path and are taking the steps you need to achieve it. You have accumulated enough savings or have reached a point where your income is secure, and the risk of defaulting on a loan and seriously damaging your credit rating is minimal. At that point, the benefits to home ownership outweigh the disadvantages, and you are ready to start shopping for the right loan and home for you.
So...Making the decision to buy a home is a serious one, and should be made according to the facts, rather than an idealized vision of how life should be. Achieving the American Dream of home ownership is certainly a worthwhile goal, but keeping that dream and being able to have the time and energy to enjoy it after you achieve it is just as important as reaching that goal.

Prophet Like Moses Pb
Full Product Description
Since rabbinic times, the resonance between the Moses stories and the Elijah stories has been regularly noted. Taking into account that Deut. 18:18 promises Israel a 'prophet like Moses', this resonance compels an evaluation of Elijah, holding Moses as the benchmark. Here, scholarship struggles with a paradox. At Horeb Elijah fails in the critical prophetic task of intercession. Yet, his service as prophet is affirmed beyond doubt in his iconic whirlwind-and-chariots-of-fire exit. How are these to be reconciled? Is Elijah a prophet of Mosaic fibre or not? This work offers a strikingly different approach to the Elijah stories. Dharamraj employs the narrative critical method to offer a close reading of the text - a reading that is singular in its sensitivity to the inner-biblical exegesis mediated by the Moses parallels. Such an approach opens up intriguing possibilities in interpretation. Here, her analysis of the dramatic and difficult discourse of the earthquake-wind-fire- 'still, small voice' theophany at Horeb is notable. So also, is the case she carefully builds for whether Elijah emerges as the hoped-for 'prophet like Moses'.
Prophet Like Moses Pb by Dharamraj Havilah was published by Paternoster Press in April 2011. The ISBN for Prophet Like Moses Pb is 9781842275337.

On the other hand, the rule of thumb is always: quality of items found is proportional with time spent finding it. You might also want to consider what you value most, if you want the most selection, you might want to go early, on the other hand, you might want to wait another week to get to prices that will beat normal 'end of season' discounts.

So, I had heard a lot of buzz about Mt. Baker Vapor juices, so I knew I had to try a few of them out. So I ordered a batch of six juices from them. All of them were supposed to be the same PG 20% and VG 80%, with 12mg Nic. And, in fact, all the flavors that I ordered did come in as ordered.
However, they included an extra flavor. First, it's a flavor that I would personally have never ordered, and I think it should have been somewhat obvious given that the majority of my order was tobacco flavors, that it wasn't something that I would like. However, it was a gift, so I can't complain too much. (I'll leave it up you, dear readers to figure out which flavor I wouldn't have ordered.) However, the funny thing is: the bottle says that it is PG %80, VG %20. It really isn't mixed that way – I can tell by the consistency if the fluid, however I noticed online the other day someone else mentioned the same thing – that the bottle's label was wrong.
Another point: I did not order any extra "flavor shots". I think that is kind of a silly practice. If the standard juice you are selling is not good enough, then I believe the vendor needs to re-think their product. I understand that some people might want to have extra flavor in their juice, and I've seen the flavors sold by some stores / sites apart from their juices. But the idea that the base product isn't good enough just kind of rubs me the wrong way.
So, having said that, here's the reviews of the first four fluids. I'll post reviews of the remaining three fluids in another article.
Vanilla Tobacco
|Throat Hit:
This was, undoubtedly, the best of the tobacco flavors I got from MBT. It has a nice body, and smooth flavor. The vanilla is strong, but not overpowering. The tobacco component is a medium strength, not too bright or too dark. Possibly a little darker than some medium-strength analogs.
I can vape this pretty easily. I don't have a problem vaping a couple of tanks in a row. This tastes closer to the other RY4's I've had thank MBV's RY4.
|Throat Hit:
This is not the same 555 I expect after trying Alien Visions 555. This is a much darker, nuttier and heavier flavor. The AVE 555 was crisp and cut my palette, this is more murky and complicated.
Do I taste something like Black Licorice? I think I do. Yuck.
I do taste the vanilla and caramel in it, which suggests its similarity to an RY4 style tobacco. But it is much heavier. But still a decent vape.
|Throat Hit:
This to me is just a weaker version of the 555. It has a decent flavor, still a nutty or woody flavor. I do get some caramel / vanilla from it. I don't get the Black Licorice I noted in the 555.
This is an okay vape, but not something I want to have more than a tank of at a time.
Chocolate Mint
|Throat Hit:
Not quite what I had hoped for in this flavor. Think more of the chocolate coating of a Girl Scout cookie, and not Andies Thin Mint. I had hoped for there to be more definition and separation between the chocolate and the mint flavors. A layered affect, if you will. Instead you get a shot of mint, with some murky flavor that could be described as chocolate-like.
And yet, I would say this was one of the better flavors I tried from the whole batch. It is something that I could vape for several days and not be disappointed with it until I moved on to something like Halo's Shamrock.

To all my loyal followers and readers I felt like I needed to take a minute and assure you all that I have not died. I am still alive, just buried under thousands and thousands of tank tops!
In honor of our new website launch we ran a promotion offering a free layering tank top if customers ran it through our website, and paid the shipping on it.
It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase our new site and products as well as introduce customers to our store. We decided to run an unlimited offer as a partnership with a manufacturer of ours. We thought we would generate a few thousand orders and it would get us off to a great start on our new website. Here, is the actual number of tanks claimed:
Now, you can see why; although I have SO much to share after just having gotten back from the Spring 2013 fashion shows, I have no time to share it... Yet.
Stay tuned...

Wisdom is not made out of wood and neither are our children. When Christian parents seek to bring the two of them together, they must resist all wooden techniques. They must be wise themselves, and wisdom is supple. The only useful wood in the whole scenario is that of the spanking paddle, provided it is not applied by parents with wooden heads.

Travis Witherspoon California League All Star
66ers Centerfielder to Represent High-A Halos in Winston-Salem
June 12, 2012 1:32 PM ET
San Bernardino, CA- Inland Empire outfielder Travis Witherspoon will represent the 66ers in the 2012 California-Carolina League All-Star game in Winston Salem, NC. It is Witherspoon's second straight season going to an All-Star game, having been selected for the Midwest League All-Star Game a season ago.
"It's a great honor," said Witherspoon on his selection. "You want to go down there and represent the Angels and your teammates in a great way."
As of June 11th, Witherspoon was all over the California League leaderboard. He ranks third in stolen bases (24), fifth in runs scored (47) and total hits (80), and is ninth in batting average (.320).
The game is a homecoming of sorts for Travis Witherspoon who in the off season lives in Sumter, SC, roughly a three hour drive from Winston-Salem, NC. "I actually have family in Winston-Salem," said Witherspoon. "My family is going to travel up there and it will be a good time for them to come see me play. I'm definitely happy and excited about that."
The 16th matchup between the two high-A league's all star teams takes place June 19th. The California League has won the last three meetings and the all-time series is even at 6-6-2. Travis Witherspoon and the 66ers have just two series left at home prior to the All-Star break. The 66ers are currently hosting the San Jose Giants, and then wrap up the first half on the road at rival Lancaster. Tickets for all home games are on sale at the 66ers box office and online at www.66ers.com. For more information on the Inland Empire 66ers please contact Sam Farber, Director of Broadcasting, at 909-495-7632.

Ancient Africa (Modern Rhymes about Ancient Times)
Informative and interesting looks at ancient civilizations, related in rhyme and accompanied by colorful, stylized illustrations. From the poem entitled "Mummies" in Ancient Egypt, children are told that when a pharaoh died, "they used a secret way/To keep his body from decay./They checked him out from head to toes/And pulled his brain out through his nose." They also learn that ancient Egyptian doctors treated an ill child by feeding him a skinned mouse. Elementary students thrive on facts of this kind, and these books are filled with them. Explicatory notes and pronunciations are included below each poem. For example, the selection about the African !Kung San tribe explains that when a word is spelled with an exclamation point in front of it, it is spoken with a "click." In addition to the obvious use of these books in studies of ancient times, they could be used effectively as models for nonfiction poetry. Each book lists four appropriate Web sites with activities and additional information. Good choices for supplementing studies of ancient times.

It was a nice building and a beautiful location, surrounded by beautiful nature. In the hotel in particular the dining room is very nice the relation between price and service is not in balance at all. the personell is very unfriedndly and not service oriented (a problem that occurs in all over the Netherlands - except the South). The room was maybe two or three stars bat definetly not 4 stars. If I pay over 100 Euro per night (in this case even 180,--) I expect that I as a guest to be able to get breakfast for at least 3 - 4 hours. they serve breakfast from 8.30 to 10.00 and after 10 they just put away everything even if peaple are still not finished. that is not the service I can expect for that price.
The 2 bdrm apartment was very spacious, had a great kitchen, and the staff was very friendly. We ate two breakfasts and one dinner there. Both were rather expensive, but very good.
Location. Apartment was said to be equipped for five people, but the second room was rather small with bunk beds and put-u-up bed, really only suitable for small children.
lovely location
We spend an Easter weekend and were most happy with our choice: Excellent in-house restaurant, pleasant and helpful personnel. The only thing that absolutely did not meet our need was the fact that the hotel has no wired/wireless internet!!!
The staff, the service, the restaurant, the welcoming atmosphere
The location of the hotel is wonderful, the room/apartment was very spacious with roof terrace, giving wonderful view over the island. The room was clean and comfortable.
Nice room (luxe room), good restaurant and perfect location.
Beautiful dining room with wonderful west facing terrace. The bathroom was smelly
Staff is very friendly and helpful, the hotel was not fully booked and at arrival we where offered a free upgrade. Also very flexible on day of departure.
Nice, family hotel athmosphere
The staff was very helpful. The rooms are big and luxureous. The hotel is 5 mins. walk from the beach. Nothig. Everything was great.
All! The overall atmosphere, the historic building. Besides, we were given a very big room with a nice view. It is really an excellent hotel and if you are looking for an accomodation in Schiermonnikoog do not hesitate to go there!
The location is perfect, close to the beach but still in the village. We choose a the luxe/garden room. But the room looked out over the servants quarters instead of over the garden or the dunes as was promised, the in room jacuzzi turned out to be a bubble bath and the in room sauna was an infrared cabin.
Liked the garden rooms and that we had access to an outside space of our own. Your credit card machine was not working - so we had to get cash from the machine and pay lots of interest on this large amount!
friendly and useful staff
cosy, confortable, well chosen furniture, helpfulness of the staff --
Helpful friendly staff, free welcome coffee/tea, good breakfast, location and free wifi
I liked the isle, bar, countryside and the bikingposebility
The personnel,the ambiance, the room and the restaurant meals. We were totally satisfied. NA
I loved the ambiance of the hotel. The service and the food were also pretty good. The beds are a bit on the soft side and it were two sperate beds.
fine service, everything ok, very good meal i missed a pool
It was a good and nice place, but definitely too expensive. For 99 euro per night i would expect much higher standard price
good value for money, great location the music from the bar was quite loud at night, no soap in the bathroom
Good location on a very beautiful island.

text: Jerry doesn't seem to have any coherent plan. The team missed their window with Ware Romo and Witten in their prime. Now the team is mired in salary cap draft hell. can't build through free agency due to poor cap management and can't build through the draft. Why can't they build through the draft? Because picking in the middle of the rounds almost ensures you don't get elite talent. Also Dallas has been one of the worst drafting teams since Johnson left. Blow the team up, take the pain for a few seasons and acquire young talent. Of course Jerry won't do this as he has to sell the fans a beer product with champagne prices.
