I am ready to wean Dd who will be 3 at the end of March. She is really attached to it and we have recenlty nightweaned with a few hard nights but not like I exepcted. She does not nurse from 7:30pmish to 5am right now. I am afraid of emotional damage to her because I know it is going to be really hard to not have the milks. She nurses at least 6 xs a day or so and if she is not feeling well more then that. Dh has wanted this for a long time as he feels it is inappropraite with her age to still be nursing and that I have made this harder on everyone waiting this long. I don't agree with that but that is his issue. I have asked him to keep that to himself at this point and that I need his help with doing this for Dd and making this transition easier if at all possible.
Now how exactly to do this is the question. Dh thinks I should just cut down to 3 times a day and work down from there two weeks at a time. Pick 3 exact times and mark them on a clock we made so she will know when the milks will have milk. I would be okay with wake up milk, nap time milk and evening milk. The problem with the nap time milk is I never know for sure when she will fall asleep while nursing. Sometimes it takes 2 nursing sessions or so before she falls asleep. She does not nurse to sleep at night. Thoughts or ideas?
I also want to be able to talk to her about all of this so she knows it is nothing she has done that has caused this to happen. I want to celebrate the 3 years of nursing on demand that we have achieved. I also need to acknowledge that it is hard and okay to be sad or mad etc. about no more milks.
Totally overwhelmed with this one! I have many friends who have done child lead weaning and I know they won't understand why I need to do this. I just can't anymore.
Don't worry about emotionally damaging your DD. She will be ok as long as it is done with love and not a cold-turkey, cut you off and can't even sit with you in case you ask to nurse, type of things. She is old enough to understand that you are done nursing but that doesn't mean you don't love her. Find something else to do with her- reading, playing, watching a movie, taking her outside. She knows you love her still, but at some point we all need to find a new way to soothe and find love. It will be ok.
First, I want to give you hug! You're doing great, Mama. It doesn't sound like your DH is being fair to you and I'm sorry you are not getting the support you need about your nursing relationship.
As far as weaning, I think it would be a good idea to get your DD down to 3 times a day. Going from 6x/day to nothing would be very hard. From about 2ish to when we weaned at 4 years old, I only nursed DD in the morning upon waking up, at nap (which she dropped at 2 1/2) and at night. Could you not nurse to sleep for naps and night? Maybe just rub her back or sing to her.
Starting 6 months ago we started talking about how when she turned 4 she would not nurse anymore. I periodically would bring it up and she would affirm that she understood. On her 4th birthday she woke up, asked nurse, I said no and we were done. She still asked for about a week, got a mad a few times, but mostly just let it go without much sadness or emotion. Now let me tell you this girl loved, I mean LOVED, to nurse. If I hadn't initiated weaning she would still be going, possibly to 5 and beyond. She was not scarred by weaning and it certainly did not ruin her emotionally. She is the same bubbly, loving girl she was the day before she turned 4.
ETA: I would definitely talk to her about it! We did and I think it helped tremendously. Also, as I nursed her to sleep on that final night, I told her that had I loved nursing her, but that I knew that weaning was the right thing for us and that she was ready to take that next step. We also had a special outing to Build-A-Bear and she got to make a special bear to commemorate her passage.
Good luck, Mama!
Mama to my beautiful Ana Carolina (2/07), Isabel Cristina (6/10), and #3 on the way in August 2013!

Gerbec says Wheatfield needs a drainage department
WHEATFIELD – It's time that Wheatfield had a separate drainage department, Councilman Arthur Gerbec proposed at this week's Town Board meeting.
The drainage issue has drawn attention, especially since the record-smashing 4-inch downpour of July 19 that left flooding in its wake in some of the town's low-lying areas, notably the Wheatfield Heights and Eagle Chase subdivisions.
"Eighty percent of our problems in the town are water: moving water, getting water out of here," said Gerbec, who like Supervisor Robert B. Cliffe is a candidate for re-election this fall.
"It's exacerbated by mosquitoes. We have neighbors fighting neighbors," Gerbec said.
Drainage problems are normally responded to by the town Highway Department. "I think Art's plate is full," Gerbec said, referring to Highway Superintendent Arthur F. Kroening.
He has been asked to take heavy equipment into off-road areas to clean ditches and dig pathways for standing water to drain, but Cliffe pointed out that such equipment can only be used when the fields are fairly dry, otherwise the vehicles will get stuck in the mud.
"You'd have to get the equipment, the personnel and everything would have to come out of the Highway Department," Cliffe said.
Gerbec agreed, but said he thinks three workers would be enough to get the department moving.
He thought a referendum would be needed to set up the department. Cliffe said that would be true only if there were to be a drainage tax.
Town Attorney Robert J. O'Toole wasn't sure. "The question would be whether you're taking powers away from an elected official," he said, meaning Kroening. "I don't think drainage is part of the powers of the highway superintendent, although traditionally in Wheatfield the Highway Department handles it."
In the Eagle Chase subdivision, off Lockport Road near Baer Road, town officials are looking for answers to the drainage. However, the board unanimously tabled a proposal from Wendel, the town engineering firm, to appropriate $18,500 for a drainage study in that neighborhood.
Gerbec noted that Niagara County recently replaced a box culvert under Lockport Road, but the main thing that would help would be to clean out a ditch from Lockport Road to Bergholtz Creek.
"Art, come hell or high water, you've got to get something back there and dig it out," Gerbec told Kroening.
The highway superintendent said he knows that project is necessary, but access is difficult. "You're talking about going on private property and doing a lot of damage to farmers' fields," Kroening said.
Cliffe said the July 19 rainstorm was "a 200- to 500-year storm event. It still would have flooded. You can't design for a storm like that."
In Wheatfield Heights, on Nash Road north of Niagara Falls Boulevard, Town Engineer Timothy Zuber said the issue is that someone placed a pipe into one of the two retention ponds without authorization, altering the outflow controls and creating an artificially high water level in the pond. Meanwhile, the other pond's pipe may be blocked.
"We need to remove the pipe that's defeating the original design of the pond," Zuber said.

Iran approaches talks weakened by sanctions (JERUSALEM POST) By JOANNA PARASZCZUK 04/09/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=265337
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
Iran appeared to hold firm to its nuclear ambitions on Sunday as nuclear talks loom and reports emerge that the US and its European allies could demand that Iran halt its 20 percent uranium enrichment and close its Fordo nuclear facility.
Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani, head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency, told Irans ISNA news agency that the Islamic Republic will not close its Fordo facility or cease enrichment.
However, Meir Javedanfar, an Iran expert at the IDC Herzliya, said Irans stance ahead of the talks was a negotiating ploy, and that the Islamic Republic would likely bring its own set of conditions to the negotiating table, just as the West reportedly will.
We are at the very beginning of negotiations, and we need to see how much leverage each side has, he added.
Irans position could include a declaration regarding the Islamic Republics future rights to enrich uranium to any level it wishes, he said. A deal struck by Iran with Brazil and Turkey in May 2010 included such a declaration of Irans right to enrichment.
In turn, the West may negotiate placing Irans nuclear facilities under close inspection, Javedanfar said.
However, Javedanfar noted that time was not on Irans side in the negotiations, because economic sanctions are putting the regime under pressure, giving the West additional leverage.
The West can walk away from any deal, he said. Iran is in a bad position.
Financial and trade sanctions against Iran, designed to squeeze its nuclear program, have had severe social and economic effects, and have led to rampant inflation and increased cost of goods.
In December, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told the official Islamic Republic News agency that the country cannot pretend the sanctions are not having an effect.
Ultimately, Irans decision to accept any deal with the West would depend heavily on the position of its Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei, and on how much pressure he was under internally, Javedanfar added.
Iran is scared of the West and sees any US initiative as a regime change, he said.
On Friday, The Washington Post reported that US President Barack Obama asked Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to convey to Khamenei that the US would accept an Iranian civilian nuclear program, if Tehran can prove that is what it is pursuing.
However, according to Javedanfar, Khamenei sees any improvement in US relations with Iran as an existential challenge to the Iranian regime.
While sanctions could also be an existential challenge, they are less threatening to Khamenei than improved USIranian relations.
Javedanfar added that the West could put additional pressure on Iran by offering to supply the Islamic Republic with medical isotopes needed to treat cancer patients. Twentypercent enriched uranium is the level required for such medical isotopes.
Iran claims that its nuclear program is for both medical reasons and civilian nuclear power. On Sunday, the staterun Press TV quoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying during a meeting with former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama that Iran is not pursuing anything beyond the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
If Irans claims are true then a Western offer to supply medical isotopes would take away any justification for Iran to continue to enrich at Fordo, Javedanfar said.
Such a move would also help destabilize the Iranian regime, because it would improve goodwill between the Iranian people and the West.
Iran would likely reject such an offer, Javedanfar added.
But it would delegitimize its cause for continuing enrichment, he said. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 04/09/12)

So it's coming – the day to end all days: the Day of the iPhone (June 29th if you've been living under a rock).
Our happyhouse wants one (or seven) of course and the little technologically gorgeous beastie has been popping up everywhere in my world – from my favorite cooking sites to the Barcamp geniuses to messages in my morning tea leaves.
That's why Dan Blank's lifecycle of iPhone ownership is especially relevant today – and pretty darn hilarious. Also, you might be surprised at who the iPhone's biggest market might be.

"I remember being in great company at six, seven and eight titles, there's always great players on that level. Now I'm left alone at nine. It feels a bit strange, because I'm still going."Roger Federer goes it alone with sole possession of sixth on the all-time Grand Slam winners list.
"At that point it was a real battle, I was really enjoying myself out there. That was a lot more fun than a lot of the losses I've had this year." Andy Roddick is able to look on the bright side after losing in four sets to Federer.
"We have been trying to meet for a while, but he promised me he would come if I was in the final, so there was a bit of
pressure, but thanks for coming."
Roger Federer explains the presence of Tiger Woods in his player's box during the final.
"It's like maybe the first time your parents see you do something special, or somebody comes to you, you really maybe look up to. For me, it's like when I go out there and I see Tiger sitting there, it's like, I try to play well, you know?" Federer sees the attendance of his special guest as a seminal moment.
"The way Roger plays the game is phenomenal but we need more players like him. He's just a genius with the racquet."
Martina Navratilova confirms her membership of the Federer fan club.
"You throw enough crap against the wall, something's gonna stick one of these times."
Roddick explains the motivation behind continually facing Federer.
"He played like a man tonight, win, lose or draw. I'm so encouraged by the kid. I'm proud of him."
Coach Jimmy Connors on Andy "The Kid" Roddick.
"I thought to myself the second that happened, 'That's typical Maria. Typical'."

(MA, 137 minutes.) Opens Thursday. ★★★☆
As Freddie Quell, the perpetually edgy and self-destructive soul at the centre of Paul Thomas Anderson's confounding new film, The Master, Joaquin Phoenix keeps his head tilted back and speaks as though his mouth is clogged; neither the angles of his lined face nor the sounds that emanate from it are close to familiar. Freddie, a World War II veteran, can't find a minute's peace in his own body, and Phoenix - unleashed from semi-retirement - inhabits the role with astounding fidelity.
The only person who believes they can help Freddie, whether out of arrogance or the recognition of his own suppressed desires, is Lancaster Dodd, a charming, if self-important, orator who has his own belief system titled The Cause. Lancaster is played with pomp and precision by Philip Seymour Hoffman, and between them, the characters represent the two spheres of screen acting from the movie's setting of the early 1950s: the guttural, naturalistic Freddie could be Marlon Brando, while the classically refined Lancaster recalls Orson Welles.
The comparison is worth noting not only because Phoenix and Hoffman craft a fascinating interaction around which the movie revolves, but also because the psychological interior of The Master is rich with such theories, even if they refuse to provide a gateway to understanding the picture. This is Anderson's sixth feature since he made his debut with Hard Eight in 1996 - and it's his most obtuse.
The Master, which comes with a prominent score from Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, doesn't feel incomplete, but it exists in a way only Anderson can fully comprehend. ''The will of one man is a cult,'' a doubter tells Lancaster at a party thrown in his honour by a wealthy devotee, but that could also apply to a filmmaker as sure of himself as Anderson.
As with 1997's Boogie Nights and 2002's Punch-Drunk Love, The Master features a lone protagonist who is drawn to an unconventional family structure.
The opening scenes, brief and telling, have a vexing, cumulative power as the end of WWII brings no peace to Freddie, who desires alcohol and sex and satisfies the former with home brew even as he fails miserably at the latter. By the time he stows away on a boat with Lancaster and his court, he can barely function in society.
Much has been speculated about the resemblance Lancaster and The Cause bear to L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, and the connection is obvious and largely irrelevant. Anderson is not interested in how a cult takes root, and he rightly doesn't bother examining the validity of The Cause's doctrines, which are serious mumbo-jumbo. He's preoccupied by what Lancaster can do with Freddie - questionable methods and all - and their dynamic is akin to trainer and animal.
Freddie initially impresses Lancaster - whose acolytes address him as ''the Master'' - with a home-made concoction (step one: strain paint thinner through bread), but despite a series of long and rigorous sessions across the years and various locales, during which Lancaster drills Freddie and uses against him his own recollections of a girl (Madisen Beaty) he abandoned as a young man, the subject doesn't fundamentally change.
The best measure to their bond is how it bothers Lancaster's virulently loyal younger wife, Peggy, who tries to steer her husband as much as she serves him. Amy Adams can convey civility with chilling exactness and her character tries to persuade both men to serve The Cause and its First family. Peggy recalls Daniel Day-Lewis' obsessive Daniel Plainview from Anderson's 2007 release There Will Be Blood, and this movie could have done with more of her steely-eyed will.
What's undeniable is that Anderson, as a writer and director, is a wonderfully untoward alternative historian, skilled at evoking an unlikely time and place, whether it's the Los Angeles porn business of the early 1980s or the emotionally scarred postwar life of three decades earlier. If There Will Be Blood explored the US relationship with commerce, The Master does the same with faith.
The film's flaws never feel distinct from its successes, and for all its mix of repetition and sudden explosive bursts of emotion, The Master is a defiant, cohesive whole united by the warm, detailed, 65-millimetre cinematography that makes the 1950s feel like one of the past lives Lancaster coaxes his followers to dredge up. It drags a touch in the middle, and the final scene as epilogue - an Anderson staple - is unduly perplexing, but the movie exerts an undeniable hold. It's difficult not to believe.

The Petroleum Safety granted Dong E&P Norge consent to conduct exploratory drilling on well 3/7-9S. The objective of the drilling activity is to examine the potential of a prospect in Production License 289.
Dong previously drilled an exploration well 3/7-7, at the Marsvin prospect, in 2008 but failed to hit commercial pay. The operator plans to recommence drilling at the site in January/February and the activity will have a duration of about 90 days.
Dong plans to use the Maersk Giant (350' ILC) jackup drilling facility at the location, which resides in a water depth of about 220 feet (67 meters).

The Quest for invisible IT: How to Guarantee File Server Migrations in a World of Ridiculously-Sized File Servers
Posted Date:
File servers, NAS devices and SANs are big. For some, ridiculously big. But even the biggest file servers in the world sometimes aren't big enough. The result? Data migration, two of IT's most-hated words. Hated because migrations of the past were challenging, error-prone,
events. But they're still a part of IT's job.
At some point, every IT Pro will be tasked with migrating files from one device to another. Doing so with poor tools and limited experience is no easy task. Consider the questions you'll be forced to answer:
How will we migrate each file's and folder's permissions and shares?
How will we migrate quickly, without interrupting user access to the source device?
How can we preserve resources, and what can we automate?
How can we track our progress, and ensure the source and target match?
But you are
Invisible IT
. Your mission is to complete that migration so end users and management are never aware the project took place. Take preemptive action and learn how to avoid data migration problems before they begin. Join Greg Shields of Concentrated Technology and Todd Tobias of Dell to learn another valuable step in the Quest for Invisible IT. File server migrations never had it so easy.
Speaker Information:
Greg Shields
is a Senior Partner and Principal Technologist with Concentrated Technology. He is a Contributing Editor for TechNet Magazine and Redmond Magazine, as well as a sought-after and top-ranked speaker, seen regularly at conferences like TechMentor, Tech Ed, VMworld, and more. He is a multiple recipient of Microsoft MVP award, VMware's vExpert award, and Citrix's CTP award.
Todd Tobias

Vampires Everywhere Premiere New Song and Music Video, "Perfect Lie"
Hollywood-based rock act Vampires Everywhere will release their new album, 'Ritual,' on March 18. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new song and music video, "Perfect Lie." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Frontman Michael Orlando said, "Relationships are the devil's way to fuck with humanity. We put our trust in others and pray they return the trust 100 fold! However, 99 percent of the time we are let down and lose pieces of ourselves in the process. This song represents the trials and tribulations of this ritual. My last relationship taught me trust is overrated. I lost a giant piece of myself and again the monster took over. I am better as a monster because of it"

Things you never thought you'd see written: Cee-Lo and Keira Knightley are in a film together. Begin Again comes out this summer, and also stars Mark Ruffalo, Adam Levine, Hailee Steinfeld and Mos Def. Here's the synopsis:
A dejected music business executive forms a bond with a young singer-songwriter new to Manhattan.
It looks—odd. It will be released in theaters on July 4, 2014.
Do you want to see Keira sing (or lip sync?) How about Adam Levine in a beard? Or Mark Ruffalo being casually charming?

Probability of Range Occupancy by Woodland Caribou during Winter in the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, British Columbia
Occupancy by caribou is not formally known or recorded for some locations within the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area (MKMA) in northern British Columbia even though, anecdotally, caribou are known to occur in those places. To assist execution of population surveys, we applied a habitat model to forecast the relative probability of occupancy by caribou in high-elevation areas during winter in the MKMA. The MKMA is located in north-eastern BC, its' extent ranging approximately from 56º22'N to 59º57'N and 122º47'W to 128º56'W encompassing an area of 6.4 million hectares. We determined that more than half of the MKMA was above 1,300m asl (57% or 3.48 Mha) and that 2.48 Mha (71% of the high elevation and 39% of the entire MKMA) was apparently capable of providing winter range for woodland caribou. To assess the model results, we collected 2,388 observations of woodland caribou when they occurred at high-elevations during winter including that from 14 individual radio-collared caribou and 9 different population surveys. Although a disproportionate majority of the observations were for caribou using the best of the high elevation range, use of poor habitat was still 24% of the sample.
We concluded that the model was not able to distinguish high-valued winter range sufficient to greatly raise the efficiency of population surveys in the MKMA. This result was contrary to previous applications of the model in north-central BC where we were successful in formally designating Ungulate Winter Range for woodland caribou. If use of the model in the MKMA is to be investigated further, we suggest focusing on setting new parameters for the snowfall factor in the model which may help refine the prediction of high-elevation winter range to the point where is will be operationally of benefit. Also, more care should be taken to insure test observations from caribou are from behavior types that are relevant to the habitat being predicted.

The energy sector is likely to be one of the better performers in the new financial year. Equity strategists are generally recommending an overweight position due to growing demand for power among emerging economies and the relatively inelastic demand from developed countries.
Energy use is usually less affected by economic cycles compared with other commodities such as industrial metals, as it is often regarded as non-discretionary.
This could be a good time for small cap investors to look at some emerging energy plays as a number of them have the potential to double over the next 12 months.
Cadlao had been abandoned in 1991 due to the low oil price after an 11-year run, and Raisama believes the field could still hold 6 million barrels of oil.
Further, the cost of retrieving the oil is low, with Patersons Securities estimating the company can reach first oil for around $US25 million ($23.3 million) and $US25 million for the next two development wells.
Based on the current oil price nearing $US100 a barrel and the expected production rate, the broker calculated Raisama can generate gross cash flows of $US300 million from this project in the first 12 months, with break-even achieved in about two months.
The project could significantly lower the risk profile for Raisama and lead to a rerating of the stock given the amount of cash the project is estimated to generate is significant for a company with a market cap of just $14 million.
However, Paterson Securities warns the stock is still a speculative venture due to Raisama's lack of existing production and the risks inherent in the Cadlao project and its other exploration initiatives.
Patersons has a "speculative buy" recommendation on the stock with a price target of 23¢ a share, while Stock Resource is urging investors to buy the stock under 10¢ a share.
Raisama jumped 1¢ to a near two-month high of 10.5¢ in early trade. Its record low was 6¢ on June 27.
Another energy stock that has made a strong rebound is
The stock has jumped over 40 per cent since hitting a near four-year low of 15.5¢ on June 21 and hit a seven-week high this morning when it gained 0.5¢ to of 22¢.
All brokers polled on Bloomberg are urging investors to buy the stock, with an average price target of 41¢ a share. Carnarvon is looking cheap on a one-year forward price-earnings of under six times compared with the 32 times average of its peer group.
Further, the company is close to completing its seismic survey over its Phoenix gas project and has identified leads and prospects of between 0.5 trillion and 3 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas.
Hartleys believes that Carnarvon's downside risk is decreasing, and its upside risk increasing, as its production wells in Thailand have stabilised.
"Thai elections have occurred peacefully and significant progress at Phoenix all point to decreased shareholder risk of any negative surprises," said Hartleys analyst Dave Wall.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Incredibly helpful, and polite staff. Great food, and very relaxed atmosphere My rusty german - no real bad points at all.
I quit earlier. First I got room with broken window that could not be closed, then I got room with no heating and without TV. Hopefully there were another hotel nearby, so I switch hotels after first night. Guy at reception is disaster, broken window, no heating in my room, no TV in my room etc, etc.
Hi-tech hotel! Friendly personnel. We complained when our room was not cleaned, The director intervened and made sure it was tidy later on. The next day it was cleaned used towels taken, but no fresh towels. We just got fed up, we used our own towel. It seems the hotel is on some sort of shoe string budget!!
New clean hotel easy to find while on main road so as a nice atmosphere in the restaurant with a pretty good diner (choice). Still loud enough even if countryside through trailer traffic in the morning.
The room we stayed in was nice, clean and not too small for three persons. The third bed really was good - the best on our whole trip. The sauna was large, relaxing and very clean. Our room was located on a side where trains pass at a distance of about 150 metres. Because of that one cannot sleep with open windows, because the trains also pass during the night. The breakfast buffet was sufficient, but not greaty sorted. Nothing was replenished and when having breakfast later in the morning the scrambled eggs were on all three mornings old and cold.
Value for money No
Great food, quiet location
- My bathroom was horrible (pee left in toilet, smelled of urine, extremely dated, hair everywhere, toilet seat did not look clean, towels badly need to be replaced, I was so horrified I used bottled water to brush my teeth), - entire room was dated, - breakfast did not have a very good selection
Good location.Good staff. Excellent hotel restaurant.
We loved the local nature of the hotel . It was truly German. The staff were delightful and attentive. The Bar and Food were available all day, and served really good, well cooked good food. There are well marked foot and cycle paths, with lovely views from them. We would love to go back. Nothing at all.
Easy access, parking, clean and spacious room, good kitchen, kind staff The bathroom needs modernization.

1. Re: Mifi 4310L Not working when plugged into a USBMandella Jun 8, 2011 6:25 PM (in response to Writincode)
Do you mean the MiFi will not even connect using the VZ Access manager when it is plugged into your computer? It is designed (for some reason) to shut off the WiFi when plugged into a USB port, but 4G connectivity should be served on that computer by using the provided software.
If even that is not working, then you have a defective unit and it should be returned.
Note: I do not own the most recent 4G MiFi (wish I did, as it reviews much better than my Samsung), but the above was true for my old 3G MiFi.

What you have described is correct the 4G MiFi will not charge and browse the web when only connected to a computer. It will allow you to browse while the MiFi is attached to a wall charger.

OK, my Mifi will not work on my PC when it's plugged in because Windows 7 says it doesn't have the drivers, and I can't get them because I can't get online. I didn't get an installation CD or anything with it because I got it as a replacement for the defective Pantech - a whole different, horrible issue. I can use the MiFi on my laptop and I tried to find drivers, but everything I've seen says no drivers are needed. I had the 3G MiFi and loved it - I never should have upgraded to the Pantech 4G - it was a disaster. Am I to understand that I can't use this new MiFi via the USB cable? I'd rather not buy another wireless router unless I have to...please help!

5. Re: Mifi 4310L Not working when plugged into a USBCerell Jun 17, 2011 8:39 PM (in response to oosillyoo)
I guess what I should have said is that I don't have a network adapter for my PC....so without buying one, is there a way to use the MiFi via a USB cable?
6. Re: Mifi 4310L Not working when plugged into a USBdeloswilbur Jun 18, 2011 4:17 PM (in response to Cerell)
Nope there isn't any way to use it as tethered. You can get a non data charging cable so you can at least keep it charged while connected via wifi, but that is it. I think they are basically trying to roll out devices fast enough that the people that would normally be initiating a class action lawsuit are busy trying the other devices and just getting more furstrated. This device has a ton of problems, it's flaky and unstable.
I hate being so negative about them, but I have given them 5 months to figure this out and they are still stuggling. They have also started lying to me now and it's costing me money so I am not happy.
7. Re: Mifi 4310L Not working when plugged into a USBROBinTEXAS May 28, 2012 12:44 PM (in response to Joe L)
I soooo wish this was true. In the past year, my mifi won't operate at all when it's charging -- whether via the USB cable to my laptop or to the wall charger. Once, a friend from Germany visited and voila, by some miracle we could actually be online while it was plugged into the wall charging. But now that he's returned and took his "magic usb" cord with him, we're back into the ridiculous mode of charging it via the wall charger, unplugging it to use it for an hour or so until it dies, and then plugging it back into the wall to charge, on and on. Seems ridiculous that this is the height of technology for Verizon's mifi device. If I could use the mifi while charging via the wall charger, I'd be delighted. That would be a start.
Any updates or tricks to make that happen? Why did the European cord work when the one I got with the mifi device and the other half dozen cords I've bought since then (hoping to find another "magic" cord) will only let it charge but won't allow any transfer of data?
I'd love help if it's possible to make this thing work again. Crazy that we customers have to spend endless hours online and buying new cords in hope of making it work like it should.
8. Re: Mifi 4310L Not working when plugged into a USBJohn Getzke Jun 6, 2012 11:22 AM (in response to ROBinTEXAS)
Firmware update 2.23 and 2.28 allow us to charge via USB without shutting down the device. Forum users discovered that we could work around this built in limitation by splicing/hacking the USB cable so that it only accepted power and not data connections. Novatel and VZW finally wised up to our work arounds and allowed us to charge and use the device at the same time while plugged into a laptop.
However, your internet connection will not be truely "tethered" even with the new firmware. You will still have to establish a wireless connection with the MiFi 4510L.

Teaching: Who is the Author of your Self?
Host: Larry Seyer
Class: http://www.acimgather.org
Copyright: © NTI
Topics Discussed:
There are only 3 possibilities with regards to credit of your authorship.
Either you made yourself or something else made you.
If you made yourself, then responsibility for everything is yours – and fear and guilt are an inevitable outcome eventually.
If something else made you, either it was random chance, or an intelligence that can make that claim.
If it was random chance, then there is no Love, there is no commitment, there is no decision you could EVER make that would mean anything since everything would be temporal and of no constance.
But if it was an intelligence that made you, your path to peace and the awareness of your Oneness with your Creator is certain only delayed by how you use the tools that were given to you by your Creator.
Self-Inquiry will eventually chip away all of the false ideas you have about yourself and reveal your True Nature.
Only the Truth is True – and Truth can withstand all interrogations.

MEK Denim Easter Island Boot Cut Jean - Medium Wash - Anonymous Venice
Great color and cut
The standard jean for the everyday guy who is expected to run, bend, and move around freely. With these, anything goes, from a worn-in T to a classic oxford.
By Rock Revolution, $13.75.
A great dark wash.
Couldn't find skinny jeans that worked for me before - they always seemed too tight in the calf and I don't think I have large calves - now I am on my second pair of these. They are comfy, versatile and look good!
...just when I thought i was over washed jeans, these Simon Millers come into play. I did just buy a pair of raw SMs and these dont hold water against those. However, these are sick selvege
Wow, these actually manage to almost trump and dry denim I've ever owned, and these are finished. They're an unbelievable wash, with the super rad High Kai, skinny cut.
Hey Gap, this is a cool idea. I don't know if you pulled it off in the way I wished you would have, but where else can you get selvage for $90?
I think these are my favorite Current/Elliott jeans. I love the laid back feel of them. And, they don't have too much going on so they won't take away from the whole outfit I put together.
Even though I'd normally only recommend buying Nudies in dry, this wash is so undeniably bad a that I had to give it some love. The only problem, well they're gonna cost you three bills.Added 9 Years Ago from Revolve Clothing
Lighten up with Victoria Veckham's skinny acid-wash jeans. They're '80s-tastic, if not the most flattering color for most women not built like tiny Vicky B.

The entrance fee for Chennai's prime multiplex Mayajaal is Rs 250. Queensland – the latest theme part charges Rs 450 per head, while you can spend the entire day at MGM Fun World for Rs 350 (refreshment extra). And surprisingly there is no religious or spiritual place in India where there is an entrance fee. No wonder the whole of religiousness & spirituality has gone down the drain in the past few centuries. We are outright ready to buy tickets that cost Rs 200 for a Rajini's newest hit movie, at the same time we get offended if someone asks a special fee for a special darshan at Tirupathi shrine!
Me & God: July 2005 Archives
There are a set of people who need scientific explanation & scientific proofs for everything. Their argument is right - when people say God exists, then why can't all see Him/Her in flesh & blood. Hence they keep negating the presence of anything that cannot be proven scientifically. Scientifically when 2 molecules of Hydrogen combine with 1 molecule of Oxygen water is formed. In atmosphere some 70 per cent is Hydrogen, and 3 per cent is Oxygen – if they can combine according to the rules of Chemistry, then we should be able to produce water in a laboratory. We need not depend upon rain for survival! And the water that condenses outside a chilled beer is the water molecule that is already present in the atmosphere due to evaporation.
Sitting on the cushioned seat we wouldn't be thinking about innovative ideas to meet our quarterly targets if we had bleeding piles. Or we wouldn't be fighting with our wife just because she doesn't have a good relationship with her in laws, if we had a tumour in our head. We usually take our health for granted, and ignore all those good things God has blessed us with. We crib about most things in life, and keep aspiring for more & more from God. And in return we either break few coconuts or give away our hair! What on earth would God do with our hair?!!
My sister�s comp conked yesterday, and I had to rush to the nearest Reliance WebWorld to send my predictions for online clients. Incidentally I saw someone browsing my blog site � and honestly it was an ego boasting experience. I approached him to ask how he reached my site, and he was taken aback completely and could not recognise me. May be I don�t look the same as in the pic that is showcased on the site (I have much longer hair & bigger beard now). I told him, I am Kennedi, and he was more than happy to meet me � he said he knew me from the days I handled Sify Astrology. I wonder how small the world is. And I also could configure the possible reason why my sister�s computer conked. Now on to my today�s blog�..

Throughout the recorded history of the world, the time of the mid-winter solstice, has been recognized as a time for celebration. There are family and social gatherings as well as reflection on the previous year and hope for the coming year. In the United States the primary holidays during this time are Christmas, the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth; Chanukah, the Jewish eight day celebration of the Festival of Lights; and Kwanza, the African-American seven day celebration of family, community and culture. No matter which of these holidays are celebrated, the traditional celebration emphasizes family. It holds its special memories and traditions shared and cherished by each individual. In this special issue of In Touch with IT, some members of the IT Division share some of their special memories and holiday traditions. In the following paragraphs are the reflections of Lisa Becker, Kim Breighner, Gavin Foster, Beth Helm, Carl Leinbach, Chris Marsh, Travis Mathna, Gary Milburn, Don Speelman, and Rod Tosten.
|Lisa Becker, PS ERP DataSystems Programmer: I love everything about Christmas from decorating to baking to presents. When I got my first apartment, my mom came to help me decorate and it became a tradition. My mom would bring eggnog and we would play Christmas music and decorate. I have some ornaments that my Grandma Becker made that are very special to me. They are probably 50-60 years old. At the end, my son would put the angel on top of the tree and we would sit and drink eggnog and enjoy the lights. Our Christmas dinner always included the traditional food but also some other stuff that my mom's side of the family included such as fried oyster sandwiches, hog maw and baked macaroni and cheese. Every Christmas Eve our entire family would go to my mom's church where they had a candlelight service and when we got home we got to open one small present. Some things have changed since my mom passed away and my son is now married and lives on his own. However, when I decorate every year I still listen to Christmas music and drink eggnog and I remember all those Christmas pasts. And Christmas Eve, my family goes to church and when we get home we drink eggnog, listen to Christmas music and open one present.
|Kim Breighner, Digital Center Coordinator: My husband, Jack, and I have always centered our celebrations around our family and home. Christmas Eve is the time when we have our family dinner with our children and grandchildren. Our son, Chad is there with his son, Tucker. Our daughter, Shannon together with her husband, Shane and children Erin, Madison, and Ethan travel from their home in McSherrystown to join us. The dinner is a traditional turkey dinner with all of the trimmings. After the dinner we have a present exchange. We videotape this part of the evening to keep the pleasant memories for our family archive. The rest of the evening is spent in conversation and the children playing. It is a wonderful, relaxing time that ends too quickly. On Christmas Day, Jack and I exchange our presents and have a quiet day.
|Gavin Foster, AVP for IT: I was raised in a village in northern Leicestershire on the River Soar. In England, Christmas Day is typically a family day which includes listing to the Queen's Christmas Message and our Christmas dinner. The dinner is very similar to the American Thanksgiving dinner, turkey, stuffing, and other trimmings except for the pumpkin pie and pilgrims. The pie is replaced by a traditional Christmas cake. It is cake made with chunked fruit. It is made about a month before Christmas Day and moistened every few days with Sherry or Whiskey (Scotch). Prior to serving it is given a coating of marzipan and a thin layer of icing. As for the pilgrims, they are long gone! The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day. It is a time for visiting and other activities. One of the activities in our village, Barrow-upon-Soar, is the traditional fox hunt that starts in the town square. At 10am there is a gathering of about a thousand people, fifty horses with riders in traditional huntsman garb and a hundred foxhounds. It is always quite chilly, so everyone carries a hipflask to provide fortification against the cold. This year Felicia and I will be taking our son, Guy, to visit with his grandparents in Barrow-on-Soar during Christmas.
|Beth Helm, Division Business Coordinator: I love to decorate with a natural look with the smell of oranges with cloves pomanders, cranberry and popcorn garlands, fresh balsam and red apples with white candles. I also enjoy baking cookies and cakes and Christmas music has to be playing or it's just not the same. Some Christmas dinner favorites are roasted turkey and gravy, twice baked potatoes with shrimp and cheese, strawberry pretzel salad, sauerkraut (but some in the family call it sour crap), rolls in the shape of candy canes, apple crisp, pumpkin bread, my great Aunt's rum cake recipe, sweet tea and coffee. When the children were young, my husband and I would always make sure that Christmas wouldn't escape without driving around to see all the Christmas lights in the local towns with our three boys in the backseat, Christmas CD's playing and hot chocolate in tow. My husband and I enjoyed this ritual but the boys were always saying- "It's too hot in the vehicle, Do we have to listen to Regis Philbin & Kathi Lee Gifford again? Can we just go home?" Oh the happy memories some day they might enjoy this memory. And each year, I purchase a Christmas ornament for them that best represented that year like if they were playing football, learning to play an instrument, golf or horseback riding, etc. And we have always enjoyed going to Eyler's Valley Chapel which has no electricity, a treadle organ, a church bell that rings before each service and an old coal stove for their candlelight service.
|Carl Leinbach, IT Newsletter: Pat and I always have two (sometimes more) trees in the house. One is a large tree located in the downstairs and visible to guests as they enter the house. The other is upstairs in a family area. The downstairs tree is decorated with garlands, ornaments we accumulated through the years, and lights. The upstairs tree is smaller and is decorated with ornaments we purchased during our travels or that were given to us by friends. It is a tree for remembrance of special moments during our years together. The house has a wonderful, festive smell of evergreen and the evenings are awash in a soft glow of tree lights.
|Chris Marsh, Computer Support Specialist: I grew up in Somerset, Pennsylvania and my special memories of the holidays are of the Christmas Eve meals and Christmas Day dinners. My mother's heritage is Slovenian and the holiday meals were always prepared featuring ethnic dishes that reflected that heritage. On Christmas Eve we had our family version of the Velija, or the Holy Supper. It is a Fasting Meal, meaning that it is meatless and contains no dairy products. The meal traditionally consists of twelve dishes: one for each apostle. Ours was a scaled down version, but always had Machanka, a sour mushroom soup. Other dishes that I can remember are: Boblaki, a savory dish containing sauteed onions and sauerkraut which is eaten only at this time of the year and Pagach which is a bread that is kind of like a pirogue pizza. The entire meal was eaten in one bowl using the Pagach to clean the bowl between courses. On Christmas Day, the Christmas Eve Fast ended and we celebrated with a meal of ham and kielbasa. Of course there were leftovers from our Velija.
|Travis Mathna, AV Systems Integration & Support: One of my traditions is to put all blue lights on my Christmas tree. I started to do this when I had my own house and in memory of my grandma on my Dad's side of the family. When I was a kid I can remember driving around looking at Christmas lights folks put out and my grandma really liked the houses that would be done in all blue lights. So in memory of her, I put all blue lights on my tree. Sometimes I even decorate the outside of the house with all blue lights but that takes a lot of time and I do not always get to do it. And I like the old fashion style C7 Christmas lights and we use them on our tree. Although I do like the new LED lights that look like the old style, we might be changing up to them in the future. I have a few other decorations that were my grandma's that I put out as, Christmas was always her favorite time of year and it is my way of keeping her memory alive.
|Gary Milburn, MIS Analyst: When I was a youngster, I was the third oldest of 21 grandchildren. We would all meet at Grandma's and Grandpa's house on Christmas Eve to share a meal and exchange gifts. After we ate the meal, we had to work for our dessert. My grandparents owned a very old 5-gallon hand-crank ice cream maker. My mother and my aunts would prepare the ice cream mixture to put into the metal container and then my uncles would pack ice (and snow, if it was available) and rock salt around the metal container. We grandchildren would line up and then take turns cranking the ice cream maker. The crank, being as long as our small arms, was difficult and we would struggle with it until we couldn't turn it anymore. Then we would move to the end of the line, and the next one would take a turn, and so forth. Eventually, the ice cream would get so hard that none of us could turn it, and my uncles would have to step in and finish it off. But the effort and wait was worth it, as then we would all enjoy the best homemade ice cream ever!
|Don Speelman, Computer Support Specialist V: The Christmas season always gets its start in the beginning of December when we get our tree and decorate it. It is always at least eight feet tall. We have two dogs, a Great Dane and a Yellow Lab, so we have the tree in a corner and anchored to the wall. The next thing I look forward to is the Christmas hayride which takes place around the middle of the month. It is open to the public and has six stops, each telling a part of the Christmas story from the Annunciation to the Manger complete with live angels, shepherds, wise men and a young couple with a recently born child. I have helped in multiple different ways from playing Angel Gabriel at Annunciation to parking attendant. This year my daughter's basketball schedule conflicts with the date, so I might not be participating till near the end. Later in the month about 10-12 family members and friends ride horses and sing Christmas carols to all the neighbors in the area. We might get some of the lyrics mixed up but we make a joyful noise and neighbors seem to look forward to it every year. Christmas Eve we have my wife's family get together at our house where the kids exchange gifts then we go to our church's Christmas Eve candlelight service. Christmas morning, my wife and I and the kids exchange gifts. Around 10:30am, we head to my parents where about 35 people get together and the kids exchange gifts and we all have lunch together. We end Christmas day having an evening meal at his in-laws.
|Rod Tosten, VP of IT: For 15 years or more, I have worked at Anita's (my wife) uncle's Christmas tree farm. I bale (put netting over the tree), shake the tree to remove the loose needles and load them on the trucks in the field. Since I was 16 years old, I have always enjoyed New Year's Eve spaghetti dinner with the same couple, Walter who now is 91 years old and Julia who is 78 years old. This couple has their own garden and Julia makes homemade tomato sauce and she puts venison in her spaghetti. Anita has also joined in the festivities since she was 19 years old. And since 1989, I have always enjoyed archery season during December.

If you're looking for a gift for the cook, or a good little read with your
morning tea, you can't do better than this collection of offerings from a couple's
lifetime of reading and cooking. A portrait of big eater Diamond Jim Brady, the
development of the microwave, pitting an olive, a homily on gleaning – one for every
day of the year, and each entry gives pleasure.
The story starts in medieval Japan with the development of proto sushi which is
whole fish pressed on top of rice in a specially designed weighted box through the
development of sushi rice and finally to how sushi developed in Japan after World
War II. Once you have this background the story moves to the United States. The
author delves into how sushi became an American food item now sold in grocery stores
across the country. Corson shows that it was the development of sushi schools in
California that made it possible for sushi chiefs to be trained more quickly than in
Japan. These schools also lead to sushi innovations that would eventually travel
back to Japan—the inside out roll being a classic example. Truly an American tale of
taking something very foreign and making it American.

Youth wellness and Torres Strait Islander girls: Challenges facing teachers in the Torres Strait
Whatman, Susan L. (2000) Youth wellness and Torres Strait Islander girls: Challenges facing teachers in the Torres Strait. The ACHPER Healthy Lifestyles Journal, 47(3-4), pp. 5-9.
|PDF (60kB)
Australians have spent decades researching the health status of Indigenous Australians: Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders. Latest health status reviews of Indigenous Australians still acknowledge their position as the 'unhealthiest' group of people in Australia, indicating that past interventionist, pedagogic and health promotion strategies have not vastly improved their situation.
Much of the research into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health has indicated the importance of appropriate health education as a strategy for improving wellness. This paper focuses upon a particularly vulnerable youth population: Torres Strait Islander girls. Their exposure to health education learning experiences through mainstream high school curricula has been critiqued with a view to highlighting the challenges facing high school health education teachers in their pedagogic practice. Strategies for providing useful, relevant and culturally appropriate learning experiences for Torres Strait Islander girls are presented as a means for redressing the challenges in improving the health and wellness of Torres Strait Islander youth.
Case study methodology, following critically ethnographic traditions, was chosen as the most appropriate means to investigate Torres Strait Islander girls' exposure to health education learning experiences and the pedagogic practice of their teachers. The case study method enabled the research questions to be answered with respect to strict Torres Strait Islander community research protocols that were fundamental to the successful completion of this project.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
