Orhan Pamuk has come full circle.
He was born in 1952 to a wealthy but declining Istanbul family. After rising to prominence with his early works and receiving the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for My Name Is Red in 2003, Pamuk was pilloried and put on trial in Turkey two years later. He had told a Swiss newspaper, referring to events during the First World War, that "a million Armenians and 30,000 Kurds were killed in this country and I'm the only one who dares to talk about it."
In 2006, after decamping for New York, he received the Nobel Prize for literature. Now Pamuk is once again living in the city of his birth, and the city has embraced him. A road sign at a crosswalk, installed by the municipal government, points proudly to his newly opened Museum of Innocence. The museum is not so much a homage to his eponymous book of 2008 as an aspect of it.
From the moment he conceived of the project, in the 1990s, he imagined the novel and the museum as two representations of a single story. Museum-goers can gain entry by exchanging the ticket printed in the book for one giving them admission to the collection the author has amassed inside. The idea is ingenious. It was also expensive, consuming years to come to fruition – as well as Pamuk's $1.5-million in Nobel money.
Pamuk's rehabilitation and his gift for self-promotion are still a touchy subject in Turkey. There is something vulgar about building a museum, in effect, to oneself – one could hardly imagine Tolstoy working industriously on the Mausoleum of Anna Karenina, even if a museum devoted to evoking the relics of St. Petersburg society of the epoch would be splendid. There are of course many museums devoted to celebrated writers – one may view, for example, Dickens's manuscripts, letters and other memorabilia at the Dickens Museum in London; the Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris became a museum in 1903. Alexander Pope had the vision to transform his grotto in Twickenham into a museum while he was still alive – but it was a museum of mineralogy and mining.
Is Pamuk's museum an act of vanity, then? No, not at all. It is a genuinely interesting work of art.
The novel is one of his great accomplishments, and the idea of representing the story in two forms is ingenious. Of course, the idea can only work if one writes a novel about a museum. The novel is about more than this, though: It is about love, and it is about Istanbul, and it is about the power of artifacts to evoke nostalgia. It is a long – perhaps excessively long – account of Kemal, an idle Istanbul playboy, and his florid obsession with Füsun, a lower-class shop girl 12 years his junior. Unable to possess her beyond the initial heady days of their affair, he spends years contriving simply to be in her presence, whereupon he pilfers and collects artifacts connected with her. He consoles himself by touching the things she has touched, ultimately transforming Füsun into a fully developed museum of objects consecrated to his obsession with her.
Although the story takes place largely in Pamuk's childhood neighbourhood of Nişantaşı, the museum is in Çukurcuma, the neighbourhood – in the novel – where he discovers Füsun living in "a dreadful house ... a rat's nest with its mud and its floods." Here something did not go according to plan: Pamuk purchased the building 15 years ago, when Çukurcuma was sufficiently dilapidated to suggest the distinction in social class between Kemal and Füsun that he evokes in the novel. Çukurcuma is now so gentrified that the threads mixing memory and desire have been frayed, and the museum is out of place.
To enter the museum itself is to feel that past evoked, and it is to feel the book – and indeed an entire era and culture – evoked. It is a bit like reading the script for a play and then seeing its performance. The museum is as carefully crafted as the book, presenting in meticulous display cases and boxes the items used and collected and discussed by the novel's characters, and managing somehow to make them compelling rather than disgusting – not an easy trick when one of the exhibits comprises 4,213 cigarette butts, each supposedly smoked by Füsun. It is the minute attention to detail that spares this display from grotesquerie – the butts have been pinned to the wall like a lepidopterist's prized treasures; there is something fascinating about the author's handwritten notes, beneath each butt, and the lipstick stains – each the same shade – or the lack of lipstick, and the way some cigarettes are half-smoked, others stubbed to the core in a suggestion of rage.
The love and memory on display here are not merely that of Kemal for the vanished Füsun, but Pamuk's for the vanished Istanbul of his youth, the "irreplaceable mementos of a lost world whose every detail figured in the meaning of the whole." Istanbullus of a certain age roamed the museum with expressions of tender recognition – " Oh yes, we remember that" – the brand names, the film stars, the high-society gossip columns, the photographs of women from newspapers of the epoch with black bands branded across their eyes. (Such was the fate of women who had sex before marriage.)
Yes, this is in one sense a vanished world, but in another sense there is a direct connection to the Istanbul of today, at least to the one I know, where the upper-class, secular world imagines itself free and modern, but is in many important aspects patriarchal and authoritarian. Sons, as Pamuk has written of his own family, still lack "the courage to make the final break," and as Kemal's mother warns him, "In a country where men and women can't be together socially, where they can't see each other or have a conversation, there's no such thing as love.… Don't deceive yourself."
The museum's aim, Pamuk says, is to suggest that there is no special reason an ordinary life and its ordinary objects ought not be viewed with the curiosity and reverence we bring to museums. "If objects that bring us shame are displayed in a museum," he observes, "they are immediately transformed into possessions in which to take pride." I would have scoffed had I not been so entranced by the cigarette butts. Of course, this is only true if the ordinary life and its ordinary objects are evoked and curated by someone with the ability to make artistic meaning out of them; were it not, every dullard's apartment would be a museum. That this is not so suggests this is a unique experiment, unlikely to be repeated.

Dark Avenger iOS
- Publisher: GAMEVIL Inc.
- Release Date: May 2, 2013
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
May 3, 2013Dark Avenger is to ARPGs what Zenonia is to KRPGs. An average effort hampered by design choices centred around grinding and in-app purchases.
May 2, 2013There's a great chance you'll run into the usual in-app purchase wall that ultimately mars free-to-play video games, but for the most part (and given what it is), Dark Avenger is a decent though unremarkable iPhone and iPad effort that'll give you something else to play in between releases. With this title, the less you expect, the more it entertains.
May 16, 2013Perhaps with updates, Gamevil will add more to Dark Avenger, and bring it up to a competitive level. It's worthwhile to try because it's different enough and free, but unless you're playing on the subway or are bored at work and have nothing better to do, it won't last you long.
May 14, 2013Action-heavy dungeon-crawling abounds in Dark Avenger, but the repetitive nature of the gameplay robs the title of any long-term appeal.

Description: Catherine and Justo Gonzalez provide a valuable resource for preaching and biblical interpretation. An account of liberation theology's impact on the task of preaching is offered by two historians of doctrine who are intimately aware of the need to be open to marginalized perspectives in the church. Early Christian preachers had much to say on issues such as the origins and proper use of wealth, the rights and duties of the poor and rich, and the nature of ownership. The Gonzalezes recapture this early Christian spirit offering concrete ways that the interpretation of specific biblical texts may be enriched or corrected in order to speak directly to the whole life of the whole church.Often used as a text in preaching courses, 'The Liberating Pulpit' helps to clarify and to bridge the gap between those whose preaching and hermeneutics tend to be more traditional and the various minorities who tend to read Scripture in a different way.

A simple lip balm in your choice of scent that has added SPF 15. Great for all skin types, which scent is your favorite?
Made in the USA
Please see the Usage & Ingredients tab for how to use and ingredient information.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have dry skin, you will need moisturizing products that nourish, so you will want to find protective and restorative products. Achieving a moisture balance with the right pH is key.
Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since your skin is acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure that the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture—a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential for dry skin. Begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF Your evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump dry and dehydrated skin.
Product Recommendations:
Key Ingredients for Dry Skin:
Hyalauronic Acid, Glycerin, Lanolin, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Oil (Of Jojoba, Olive, Apricot Seed, Avocado, Grapeseed Borage, Almond, Evening Primrose), Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Honey, Shea Butter, Argan, Baobab, Manuka Honey, Green Tea (Camilla Sinsnsis), Ceramide, Glycolic Acid, Hydrolized Wheat Protein, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Cucumber
Why Moisturize?
Everyone can benefit from using a moisturizer after cleansing. The key is finding the appropriate moisturizer based on your skin type. Moisturizers seal moisture into the skin, so the effect is hydrating while also inhibiting evaporation. Many moisturizers contain active ingredients that deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and skin supporting compounds to provide therapeutic benefits that sooth, protect and ultimately help delay the onset of early aging.
Eye creams are optional, but may be desirable for those with dry or aging skin as a welcome addendum to a moisturizer. Some individuals have very delicate eye areas that are more susceptible to wrinkling, dark circles and puffiness. An eye cream can help address these specific concerns with intense moisture and a high concentration of active ingredients.
How to Choose a Moisturizer
The oilier your complexion, the lighter and more liquid your moisturizer should be. Some moisturizers even have oil free ingredients that still serve to moisturize the skin without adding oil. Conversely, dry or aging skin requires a more moisturizing-nourishing preparation. Use a moisturizer labeled with your skin type or specific skin concern. If you live in a particularly harsh climate, consider wearing a more moisturizing face cream during the winter and switch to a lighter formula during warmer months.
Night creams tend to be thicker and more moisturizing than day creams. It is generally recommended to have separate moisturizers simply for the fact that you will want a day cream with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This will provide you with added protection from sun damage that can lead to premature aging.
Based on the amount of time you spend outside on any particular day, you might want to wear a moisturizer designed for outdoor use with a significantly higher SPF. You must also factor in how easily your skin burns and take precautions to protect your skin with a sufficient SPF. As a general rule, it is recommended that your day moisturizer should have at least 15-20 SPF, and if you spend more time outdoors, consider a moisturizer with 30+ SPF.
How to Use Moisturizer
After you wash your face and apply toner or a serum (optional), scoop out enough moisturizer to comfortably cover your face and neck area. Using your fingertips, rub it in using upward strokes, making sure to moisturize the neck, décolletage and earlobes. In order to prevent streaks, allow your moisturizer to penetrate before applying foundation.

I read the news on the morning after the presidential debate, and I wondered if I hadnĺt noticed that on the previous evening Abraham Lincoln had taken on Elmer Fudd. Nearly everyone said that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romneyĺs performance was brilliant and triumphant, President Barack Obamaĺs weak, even a ôdebacle.ö Did I misread it that badly?
But as I watched the debate again on Friday morning I considered how much we and the media -- liberal or conservative -- love a new narrative, and ôUnderdog Whips Overconfident, Smarty Pants Incumbentö is one of our favorites. But letĺs get a grip: The debate calls for two questions, and they both have the same answer.
First, did Romney do as well in the debate as many think? No.
He probably exceeded the expectations, but they were never high to begin with, and his staffers had been tamping them down for days.
Modern debates are largely about theatrics and the physical appearance of the debaters; Romney did fine in those categories. But itĺs worth at least a paragraph or two to note that a lot of what he actually said in the debate was misleading or just plain wrong.
Examples are plentiful, but consider Romneyĺs charge that Obama has doubled the national deficit. Publications from The New York Times to the Christian Science Monitor have pointed out that when Obama took office in 2009, the deficit was already at $1.4 trillion. Now itĺs at $1.1 trillion. Thatĺs a lot of money, but itĺs less than $1.4 trillion. Just plain wrong.
Thereĺs much more, but Iĺll leave the facts to the fact checkers. Romney got good marks for his appearance and energy, but itĺs a stretch to call his manner ôpresidential.ö How about ôpushy,ö instead? Obama may have revealed a moment of impatience with moderator Jim Lehrer, but Romney repeatedly talked over Lehrer, bullying past his efforts to keep the discussion under control.
In fact, Lehrer had a tough evening. Even if you intend to completely defund PBS, an institution thatĺs significantly enhanced American culture at a cost of about 0.00014 percent of the budget, why would you throw it in the face of one of its great icons in front of a national television audience? Especially with a dismissive line like, ôI like you, Jim.ö Thanks a lot, Mitt, that makes your contempt for PBS easier to take. Graceless? Condescending? Disrespectful? Yes. Presidential? No.
Itĺs no wonder that in his brief overseas trip this summer, Romney managed to miff the British, the Poles, and the Palestinians. And the word is that the Spaniards arenĺt very happy about being singled out during the debate as Europeĺs poster child for economic disaster.
The second question: Did Obama do as badly as reported? Also no.
Critics have said that he looked tired, uninterested, distracted. Perhaps, but he does have a day job. In any case, a great deal of what I saw could just as easily be described as deliberative and decorous, that is, presidential.
His supporters wish that Obama had been more assertive, even confrontational. Particularly, why didnĺt he mention Romneyĺs infamous ô47-Percentö remark? But why would Obama, a tactical and strategic thinker, invite Romney to counter with Obamaĺs own ill-advised ôcling-to-their-guns-and-religionö gaffe of a few years ago? This was a case of rhetorical Mutually Assured Destruction.
Democrats may have wished that Obama had challenged Romney more emphatically on his many dubious, unsupported assertions. The debate may have been a lost opportunity. But whether Obama was cowed or calm, distracted or deliberative, defensive or dignified is a highly subjective issue.
Was the debate a game-changer? Letĺs hope not, no matter which candidate eventually wins the election. Debates in the television age are highly questionable ways of determining who will make the best president.
Sure, theyĺre exciting, like a car race Ś a disaster can occur at any moment Ś but the best hope for our republic is that substance wins in the end.

I have a family of 2.5 (Me, hubby, and an 18 month old). Before going primal I used to spend $50-$70 per week at my weekly shopping trip with a monthly shopping trip for meat at around $70. $310 per month. Now, my shopping trip is at LEAST $130 per week plus the monthly meat trip = $590. HOWEVER, I recently found I could make my own coconut milk, coconut water, and coconut flour buy buying 3 coconuts per week. This is a weekly savings of around $20. It doesn't seem like much, but over a year that will save a bunch. I also heard you can buy the coconut dried by the gallon online and still make your coconut milk and flour with it. = $510 per month.

Shocking what real food costs, isn't it, compared to fake manufactured food. Real food is important to us, so its not a budget area with much wiggle room. I stock the freezer and pantry when there are sales, and work hard at not wasting food.

- cut my family's hair myself
- color my own hair
- shop thrift & consignment for pretty much everything except socks, underwear and shoes.
- our cars are 10 and 13yo and paid for and we'll drive them till they die.
- driving/camping vacations, nothing exotic
- self employed, no commuting or childcare costs
- clip coupons & combine with sales, esp for non-food items
- rarely go to movies
- school carpool
- limit kids' sports & activities
- 'basic' cable package
- eat out rarely, and when we do, we drink water
- buy grassfed meat by the 1/4 or 1/2, instead of individual cuts
- line dry my laundry sometimes
- no central air
- no credit card debt
- grow some of my own veggiesSandra

IMO, "100 mile" is more important than "organic." I was doing the box for a while, and while we enjoyed the variety and adventure of something different every week, and supporting a local entrepreneur, it seemed counterintuitive to be sourcing food globally, especially when other countries have different criteria for what constitutes "organic".

I'm struggling so hard to keep my grocery costs down in the context of my full monthly budget. If I'm not paying attention, I can easily spend $450 a month just for myself, not counting non-food items. There's no real reason I couldn't keep it down to $300 with some effort. $75 a week should be more than sufficient in my area, even buying grass-fed/pastured meats and eggs and wild salmon, and shopping primarily at Whole Paycheck.
But I kind of suck at this whole grocery shopping thing. Le sigh.
Originally posted by Gadsie View PostI'm also spend about 25-30 (converted to dollars) per day, just for myself. I'm eating gross greek yogurt, and cheap bacon (almost 100% fat) I don't eat any beef but ground etc., however it's all grassfed and all that stuff. Unfortunately sometimes the prices lead me to eat chocolate bars or nut butters.
All said and done, with coffee and tea, sugar for my Kombucha, occasional suet for tallow, etc., it probably ends up averaging 55 to 65 dollars a week for me. Whole Foods has really cheap grass-fed steak (tough cuts, cook 'em slow), pastured eggs for something like 5 or 6 dollars and often heart or other beef/chicken offal. The Ukraine Market has Aroy-D coconut milk for 89cents a box, and okinawan sweet potatoes so cheap I always think their cashier goofed. Grocery Outlet has canned oysters, black olives, avocados usually dirt cheap, and sometimes good soy-free dark chocolate. Trader Joe's has odds and ends bacon chunks for 2.99 a pound, frozen organic spinach for like 1.50 a bag and semi-acceptable meat and eggs if we didn't make it out to WF. We also eat lots of wild berries and I often gather nettle since it's better than spinach by far anyway, and free!Crohn's, doing SCD
according to my online banking "money map" i spend an average of 442.00 a month on food stuffs in general. this includes grocery shopping and occasional In n Out and Starbucks and supplies for guests. it probably also includes cat food and stuff.
i think this is a generous underestimate. :P i do occasionally pay cash for things so i'd bet my true average is a little over 500.
Hard for me to say, because most of my food (the bulk of my meat and veggies) is communal (with my 10+ roommates). Plus we have a garden and a sweet old Korean lady who gives us extras from her garden. Personally, I spend $200/month aside from our common pantry & garden on coconut milk, nuts, tuna, eggs, jerky, extra fruit, bacon, salmon, coconut oil, pork rinds, etc.
My guess is if I had to buy everything just for myself (1) I wouldn't eat as much organic or quality meats as I do and (2) I'd spend about $400 a month.My Primal Journal - Food, pics, the occasional rant, so...the usual.

my 8 month old still wakes up every 3 hours HELP!!!
my 8 month old still wakes up every 3 hours HELP!!!
Hi there. I feel for you. I know how hard that is. Have you talked to your peditrican? I would and do discuss "stuff" like that with her. I am not a dr and know that it is easier for me to say than for you to do but what I would try is what I have done (and it worked for us)....
I do not sleep with the monitor on when we are upstairs sleeping. I found with my 1st that I would go in with every little sound. I can hear him now if he "really needs me".... oh fyi my baby is 10 months as of yesterday.
I change him into his pjs (not too hot or too cool) and give him a bottle at almost the same time every night 8:30. He is in bed between 8:45 and 9. Making sure his room is quiet, comfy etc.
When he would wake up, I would listen. A few times he would go back on his own. When he is getting a tooth it is a different story. I listen and after 20 min go in and get him (as I did when he was a "new baby"), change him, feed him a little bottle and back down, door closed. His room is dark. I found that he would sleep later if I covered the window with a dark sheet and blind...
Our ped. has a baby about 3 months younger than mine. At 6 months she let her "cry it out". That we did with #1 and it was hard but it did work for us.. Her baby woke up at 3am she cried the first night for 1 hour. The second night it was 20 min and by the third 2 minutes. My first son..... at 8 months was waking a lot and didn't want to go to bed in his crib (he had slept with us too long in my opinion). Our male ped said try to let him cry it out. I tried it. The first night it took him 1 hour... I did go in there after 20 min. but didnt pick him up. I laid him back down and rubbed his back. It made it start over again. So the next night I didn't do that... He cried 30 min. Third night was better..... that is a thought too. Again it is hard when you your baby is crying and you "ignore" him or her but I would tell myself I am teaching him to go to sleep on his own.
At 8 months they do not "need" to drink a bottle every 3 hours and should be going longer stretches so it is about breaking habits. Maybe also shorten naps during the day.. if they are longer than 2 hours. Just my thoughts.... I loved reading the Baby Whisperer's book and the Best Baby on The Block and even though they are for younger babies they both have some great ideas.
Best of luck.

Never regret anything that made you smile!
You are right, I have thought about doing that. He is cutting more teeth now, but I will definitely keep this in mind. Your response was just confirmation that I should try this. Thanks houseofblue!
Also know you are not alone. My baby wakes every 2-3 hours on a good night. I think I would die and go to heaven for a 4-5 hour stretch....My baby is 8 months also and she is physically still hungry (per her gastroenterologist) so I still feed around the clock. She has reflux though and is a grazer when she eats (there is no way to force her to eat more, trust me we have tried...) just know you are not alone. Mine is worse because we are not supposed to let her cry, makes for some fun nights.....
I am new to this whole thing but i might have some advice for you. I am a new mom and i am also a young mom. But DS (dear son) will be 4 months old on the 21st and he has been sleeping through the night since he was 4 weeks old. He sleeps for 12 hours every night (8:30pm to 8:30am). My pedi told me to add rice cereal to his bedtime bottle and to make it an ounce more than his daytime bottles. So i began doing that and ever since it has helped. I also still let him use the blanket he came home with, one that i purchased. Not sure if you have tried any of these but it seems to work for my son.
I have a 9 month old and up until 2 months ago he was also waking every 3 hours...I will tell you what worked for me, although all babies are different.
I was still nursing him every time he woke, so I started by not nursing him and rocking him back to sleep. This made for some long nights, but they are worth it in the end. After about 2 weeks of rocking him back to sleep (so as not to completely shock him) I decided to let him CIO. I slept in the family room on th sofa so that I did not have to lay in bed and listen to him cry, though I did have the monitor so I knew when he cried and for how long. The first night he didn't cry anymore than 45 minutes and it got better from there. It only took about 3-4 nights and he was STTN. He still wakes one time a night, about every other night, and cries for 5-10 minutes but is now able to put himself back to sleep and he has recently gotten even better about that. If he cries for more than 20 minutes now, I will go in and just hold him for a minute and he will usually go right back to sleep. I feel that every now and then it is okay to get some mommy lovin'! The other night all he wanted was kisses!! He gave me kiss after kiss, so it made being up at 4 am worth it!
The key, IMO, is CONSISTENCY. If you decide that you really want to do it, DO IT AND STICK TO IT. Don't give in because then I feel like all the hard work goes down the drain. If you are not a CIO (cry it out) mom, then just ignore this whole post! I know that some moms are not comfortable with it and some babies are not made for it. Sorry for the book and I hope you get some sleep soon!
Mommy to Caleb 10/21/2007�and Nolan 11/26/2010
I just wanted to add that for most babies, the better they nap, the better they sleep at night. I personally would not wake a napping baby in hopes that they will sleep better at night, because that just causes them to be overtired and sleep worse. I have read that numerous times and that is definitely the case with my LO.
Mommy to Caleb 10/21/2007�and Nolan 11/26/2010
Thanks for everyone's help. I think I will try something. He is wanted to nurse at night, and won't take a bottle before bed so I haven't tried rice cereal and I can't control how much he gets in, so maybe those are the first habits to break!
My LO (little one) is 3.5 mos old. She was sleeping thru the night for about 3 weeks and then went to daycare and got sick. So we regressed a bit, but last night she was back to 7 hours. Our tricks:
Routine, routine, routine. By 8pm we are in bedtime mode. Getting the pj's on, closing the curtains, taking a bath, turning on some sleepy music. We use a sound machine once the music is over. She eats as much as possible--I will actually shift her around, burp her, whatever to wake her up a little to get more food into her before she goes down. Usually, within 15-30 mins she is sound asleep and down for the night. I do think the sound machine helps--it keeps a constant noise for her. We made lots of noise when she first came home so that we wouldn't have to tip-toe around so now she doesn't sleep as well if it's silent. :) But babies are used to noise in the womb so it is a recommended technique that seems to work, at least for us!
Proud mommy of DD born 4/12/08
A dad here.....
Ok, looking for some opinions and advice (Chunkster sounds like she might have some).
We have a 11 month old, and he hates sleeping. Seriously. We have been put through the ringer, quick saga below:
--All was well up through 4 months, maybe a few feedings each night, but he would go down easy.
--It then turned to 5-6 times a night, and it would take a good 30+ min to put him back down in crib.....we gave up and brought him to bed (with one person often in guest room).
--After 6 months we decided to CIO, but decided to still feed him once a night (maybe our mistake). He is big (25 lbs at 11 months) and only breast feeds, so we werent sure about leaving 10+ hours.
------this worked fine for awhile, got him fairly scheduled until July hit.
------BTW - his naps have always been and still are horrible....maybe 1-1.5 hours a day over 2 naps.
--July: he started refusing to be put back in his crib, and started waking more and more frequently. Eventually, refusing dad's holding all together and demanding feeding.
------BTW - we try to feed him solid food 3 times a day, but he doesnt eat much, take down a bit, but 95% still breastfed.
-----We also spent about a week trying "No Cry Sleep Solution" in late July, but this led to him waking hourly......so we couldnt hack it.
--SO, for the last week, it is CIO (cry it out) solution for 10 hour nights.....we leave him from 8-6.
----it is working pretty well, probably still an hour a night (going on the 5th night), but he is definately getting stretches of sleep that are like 5 hours, so we really believe this is best for him. Hoping the lenght continues to increase.
Question (sorry for the saga):
During the days now he has become WAY more needy. He used to just sit and play with balls and books for a good hour or more and let my wife actually do stuff. Now he demands her attention. Even if she is sitting next to him, he crys if she isnt looking at him.
---So, do you think the CIO (cry it out) solution is causing him to have this anxiety? Has anyone else noticed this? Did it go away? Basically my wife is trying to overcome it by being with him all day, and giving extra luv, but it is trying on her.
We are lucky that he is sleeping better naturally. We didn't intervene. He did it all by himself as he got older. Some nights, he sleeps 6 hours straight. Other nights he wakes up every 3-4 hours. But in general he's been much better, much better than waking up every 3 hours every night.

|Please note: This article is about the shugenja. For other uses of the term, please see Chieko (disambiguation).
|Tamori Chieko
Tamori Chieko was a shugenja of the Dragon Clan.
Healer Edit
Chieko was a notable student of the Mountain Home Dojo. She was favored by the water kami, and talented in healing. [1] She drew the attention of the Togashi order, which gifted her with a mystic tattoo to enhance her power. [2]
Musical Talent Edit
Chieko was an able singer, as well as knowing how to play the biwa. [3]
Dragon-Phoenix War Edit
Chieko was stationed on Nanashi Mura when plague struck the village. She was aided by a ronin shugenja, Satoshi, and they became good friends. [4]
Chieko was later transferred to Mikoto Mura during the Dragon-Phoenix War. The village had been severely afflicted by a plague, brought on by the death caused by the war. Togashi Satsu, the son of the Dragon Clan Champion, visited the village with the intentions of aiding in any way he could. Chieko was not too impressed, and imparted upon him her views of the war and that Togashi Hoshi should be able to end it. [5]
"This war is a war of pride. Your father has the power of a god. Why does he allow this misery? Is the pride of the Dragon Clan so valuable?"
Chieko was later visited here by Togashi Mitsu and Togashi Matsuo, who had been sent by Satsu to aid in the village in whatever way they could. Chieko again vented her frustration at the war, this time to Matsuo. Matsuo agreed that the Dragon Clan as a whole should have done more to preventing the tradgedy befalling this village, and the war in general. [3]
"Lord Satsu has already accused me of being too prideful, and I think he is right. I was wrong to blame you for what has happened here, Togashi Matsuo, and I am sorry."
Kokujin's Challenge Edit
Chieko was the Tamori chosen to accompany Togashi Satsu as a part of Kokujin's Challenge in 1159. The group went to the Twilight Mountains to defeat Kokujin, but were ambushed by dozens of tattooed bakemono led by Kokujin Kobai. [6] Chieko and Hitomi Hogai were captured in the ensuing fight, and Togashi Satsu surrendered so they would not be killed. The three were taken to Shiro Heichi where they witnessed Kokujin chaining Hitomi Akuai to the Anvil of Despair and creating a shamesword. [7]
After the death of Akuai, who had only lived long enough for Kokujin to create a wakizashi, Kokujin demanded that Togashi Satsu choose between Chieko and Hogai. Hogai told Satsu to select him, but initially Satsu refused to make the choice. Eventually, he realised the futility in resisting Kokujin's plans and made his choice. [8]
"So you believe you are better than them? Togashi and Hitomi reside in the Celestial Heavens. You hide in a cave with goblins and lunatics."
Satsu chose Hogai, but Kokujin laughed and chained Chieko to the anvil instead, explaining that Satsu had been condeming the person who was to live.[5] Chieko lasted considerably longer on the Anvil than Akuai had. Chieko commented on how Kokujin appeared to be a servant of pain and darkness because he feared the light, angering the mad Dragon. A dark ise zumi informed Kokujin that the Shakoki Dogu were beginning to attack the landscape around the ruins of Shiro Heichi meaning that Kokujin was forced to increase his rate of work. [3]
"You. . . say that you know no master. You lie. Pain and darkness are your masters. . . You serve them because you fear the light. . . Love burdens you and hope always betrays you."
Remarkably, Chieko survived the creation of the blade. Kokujin still intended on killing her on the Anvil, but was interrupted by the arrival of Togashi Mitsu, Togashi Matsuo and Kaelung. In the confusion that followed, Chieko was whisked away by Matsuo. [9] They met Heichi Jianzhen, and the Boar instructed the Shakoki Dogu to heal the Tamori. Chieko expected she could return the favor bringing some peace to the souls sacrificed in the Shameswords. [10]
Death Edit
Though the ritual was interrupted, Chieko's spirit was already so closely bound to the blade that she could not remain alive. Honoring her legendary compassion, Chieko swore to remain a pan of the corrupted sword in an attempt to redeem the tortured soul of Kokujin. [2]
Spirit Trapped Edit
The Blade of the Meek was crafted on the Anvil of Despair by Kokujin using the soul of Chieko, however Kokujin had made an error. Chieko's sins were far less that he had imagined, and the purity of her soul allowed a shade of her goodness to remain. Although Chieko could no longer fully interact with mortals, she could appear to the Dragon on occasion and offer them advice and insights. [11] Chieko was taken in by the Shakoki Dogu, and was able to cross the boundaries of the Spirit Realms much like a shiryo. Due to the foul ritual that ended her mortal life, however, she could not be far from Kokujin's sword for very long at one time. [2]
Released Edit
Rumours were heard that the spirit of Chieko appeared to members of his clan. In 1198 one of these sights were reported in the Colonies. Tamori Muzu [12] and Bayushi Shibata saw her near a fishing village named A Welcome Reprieve, in two distinct moments. [13]

On 1 July the BPVA and DECC hosted the first Commercial and Domestic Rooftop Solar PV Conference in London, attended by over 300 delegates being a mix of solar companies, professional advisors, commercial and industrial property owners, investors and occupiers.
The opening address was from Chris Huhne (ex-Secretary of State for DECC) with Session one of the conference being a speech from the Rt Hon Greg Barker MP, who was at that point the Minister of State for Energy & Climate Change, talking about the Government's policy on solar.
It might have been expected that, given the government's frequent changes to the various incentives payable for solar PV (the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) and Renewables Obligations Certificates (ROCs)), they would have received a hostile reception, but quite on the contrary they received a relatively warm reception as they highlighted the government's commitment to encourage the installation of more solar PV between now and 2020.
The Conference was, of course, the perfect platform for the government to talk up the second part of DECC's UK Solar PV Strategy document which was published in April 2014 (the first part having come out last October).
A summary of the nine key points outlined by Greg Barker in his speech are set out below:
- The Government are keen to drive an ambitious roll-out of rooftop installations, which will require a real step change in order to achieve the government's desired target of 20GW of solar PV deployment in the UK by early in the next decade. At present the level of deployment rests at around 3.2GW. Greg Barker said "I want to put rocket-boosters under the commercial and industrial solar sectors here in Britain"
- The Government is keen to push deployment on as many of Britain's 24,000 schools as possible.
- To encourage roll-out on commercial and industrial rooftops the Government is considering relaxing planning rules such that installations under 1MW in size would come within the permitted development regime. The present upper limit for permitted development rights is 50kW.
- The Government is currently assessing the Government estate, such as hospitals and Ministry of Defence properties, for its suitability for solar PV with the intention of installing approx. 1,000 MW of solar PV on that estate.
- The Government is introducing a simplified accreditation process for FiTs with Ofgem, to enable approval of applications for FiTs more swiftly.
- The Government is considering changing the regime for FiTs such that it would be possible for panels to be transferred from one rooftop to another when the user or owner moves without losing the FiT, subject to certain conditions being met.
- Last month DECC launched a consultation on changing the levels of FiT to favour commercial rooftop development over solar in fields. Given the commitments set out in the solar strategy document it is very likely those changes will be pushed through.
- It was acknowledged that there is a problem in getting the District Network Operators to deal with applications for grid connection in a timely fashion, so Ofgem has put in place new regimes to impose standards of performance on utility providers and penalties when agreed timeframes and provision of service are not met.
- They are launching a taskforce to bring together landlords, estate agents, lawyers, large retailers and solar developers, with a round table discussion scheduled for early September to look at issues experienced with tenanted properties (for example who pays and who benefits) which create a potential barrier to deployment, and how those issues might be addressed.

Claim Chelsea's Profile
[email protected]
Chelsea Shields is a biocultural anthropologist, a research and strategy consultant, and an outspoken activist for women's rights.
Shields has over a decade of research experience in populations at home and around the world. She's also a strategist with broad training in user experience, brand strategy, social media and human behavior. As an activist, she focuses mostly on issues affecting women and women of color, particularly religious gender inequality, and she has been a co-founder or leader of several Mormon-focused women's rights movements such as LDSWAVE: Women Advocating for Voice and Equality, Ordain Women, Mormons for ERA and The Mormon Women's Roundtable. A regular guest on podcasts, at conferences, and as a commentator and a contributor in the 2015 book Mormon Feminism: Essential Writings, Chelsea is changing the way we think about gender roles in religion.
Shields is best known for her activism to combat religious gender inequality – specifically in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or Mormon Church) in which she was raised, though she is currently inactive and is no longer a believer in Mormon doctrine or scripture. Shields delivered a TED Talk on the topic of Religious Gender Inequality at the TED Fellows Retreat in September 2015. In November 2015, the talk was featured on TED.com under the title, "How I'm Working for Change Inside My Church."
Shields is also on the board of the Sunstone Education Foundation, an organization that discusses Mormonism through scholarship, art, short fiction, and poetry.
Shields' academic work focuses on the concept of social susceptibility or why human bodies have evolved to be susceptible to social manipulation. She has spent 26 months over the course of a decade in the field in West Africa researching Asante indigenous healers,[20] ritual ceremonies, and biocultural interactions. Shields argued that grounding human behavior in social adaptations and viewing biocultural interactions in sickness and healing from an evolutionary perspective reveals important discoveries in placebo and ritual studies, religion, pain, stress, emotions, empathy, and social inequality. Shields spoke about how these sociocultural, biological and evolutionary concepts clash in a TED talk at the 2013 TED Fellows Retreat in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, where she used an Asante ethnographic case study of bonesetting to elucidate socially mediating pain mechanisms.
Shields was originally a cultural anthropologist and extended her studies to include a PhD in biological anthropology in order to explain the proximate and ultimate mechanisms of what was happening during ritual healing ceremonies.

I had a character that I leveled as PGL up to rank 7, but then rerolled when I found out my friend was on another server. My new character is now rank 10 PGL (along with a few crafts) rank 16 physical, however I seem to be missing Light Strike o.O
I checked my old character, which I haven't deleted yet, and on there it says Light Strike is a rank 1 0 AP ability. So I'm a bit clueless as to why my new character doesn't have it >.>
The only skills my new PGL has are Heavy Strike, Concussive Blow, Haymaker, The Tp based heal (it's late and I forget the name), and I just got Taunt. So.. any clues or thoughts? >.>

I mean this text: for example - ^Click here^ [CODE]HWND hCombo = CreateWindowEx( WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "COMBOBOX", NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | CBS_DROPDOWN, 50, 50, 150, 200, hwnd, NULL, hInstance, NULL ); SendMessage( hCombo, CB_ADDSTRING, 0,( LPARAM ) "e1" ); SendMessage( hCombo, CB_ADDSTRING, 0,( LPARAM ) "e2" ); [/CODE]

client replied to The Weather Guy's topic in For BeginnersI guess, you mean thermal effect. You should experiment with thermal vision pixel shaders. [url="http://coding-experiments.blogspot.com/2010/10/thermal-vision-pixel-shader.html"]http://coding-experi...xel-shader.html[/url]
@Edited: I got wrong.

client replied to SebastianW's topic in For BeginnersYou should learn C++ at first, it is very powerful and useful language. On the beginning your adventure, may have problems,but it really help you. When I was 14 decided to learn C++, but after 0.5 month changed my mind. I have regreted to nowa days.
[quote name='Washu' timestamp='1329687078' post='4914627'] [quote name='fastcall22' timestamp='1329682700' post='4914603']A pointer is an [tt]unsigned integer[/tt] (32-bits or 64-bits), that literally holds an address of memory.[/quote] No. Just no. Pointers are not integers, and don't ever mistake the conceptual machinations of imagining memory addresses as numbers to mean that they are simply "integers". They aren't. Heck on some machines they aren't even a single "integer", hello segmentation. This misconception is why so many people fail [url="http://www.scapecode.com/2011/05/a-simple-c-quiz/"]this quiz[/url]. The links were good though. [quote name='BSt' timestamp='1329686279' post='4914617']It should help you, pointer "stores" a address to another object. It is faster. Also, We use them to create a new objects using (new).[/quote] A pointer simply describes an object whose value provides a reference to an object of the referenced type. Its not "faster", that doesn't even make sense. Faster than WHAT? [/quote] Fast than hell... I meant, useful in functions, powerful etc.Maybe I overcoloured using this word.

[CODE] int b = 15; // Object int * a = NULL; //Pointer a = &b; //We use (&) to get address of (a) object. [/CODE] Try to output in console: &b, b, &a, a, *a. {...}

As we've discussed, art and porn can go together. And this new scene from DominicFord.com proves the point. Veteran porn star Jay Black, looking better than ever, appears with beefy JR Bronson in the visually stunning "Black+White." The steamy duo is presented in tinted black and white, but in this case the arty presentation doesn't detract from the heat. There's kissing, sucking, ass eating and fucking (with Jay on top). Director Dominic Ford says that this scene is his homage to art house movies. He claims it's "one of the hottest, most sensual productions you will see all year." So who are we to argue!? For more information, visit Dominic Ford.
