Reading & Writing Development Center
Throughout the years, the program of graduate education for the development of literacy specialists has been closely tied to the Center and has grown to be one of the most respected graduate programs within Ohio and the Midwest.
The role of the Center is well-established and highly regarded, both as a supplemental educational agency that provides consultative, diagnostic, and tutorial services in reading and writing and as a practicum center for graduate programs in literacy education. The primary function of the Center is to provide a diagnostic/instructional facility for the professional education and development of students who are pursuing graduate programs in literacy education.
In support of the graduate education of reading and writing specialists, the Center provides diagnostic evaluations and instructional services for limited numbers of school-aged students and adults referred because of perceived reading and reading-related difficulties. In this function, the Center serves as a supportive educational agency to school and community.
Center activities, therefore, revolve around the following priorities:
- the education, at the graduate level, of reading and writing personnel for schools, colleges, and universities;
- the conduct of inquiry into reading and writing processes for children, youth, and adults;
- the provision of services to schools for children and youth who are experiencing learning difficulties in reading, writing, and related school subjects;
- the provision of specialized consulting services to public schools and other agencies in the fields of reading, writing, and related areas; and
- the dissemination of information concerning modern and innovative approaches to the teaching of reading and writing and related school subjects
Affiliated faculty include
- William Bintz
- Joanne Dowdy
- Danielle Gruhler
- William Kist
- Gumiko Monobe
- Denise N. Morgan - Center Director
- Kristine Pytash
- Timothy Rasinksi
- Alexa Sandmann - Director, School of Teaching, Learning & Curriculum Studies

Skirt Steak with Pickled Onion and Spaghetti Squash
With just 15 minutes of prep work and five ingredients, you can prepare this easy and delicious meal even on your busiest night of the week!
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, November 2007
- 1 large spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds). halved lengthwise, seeds scooped out
- 1 small red onion, halved and very thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon thinly sliced lime zest
- 1/4 cup lime juice (from 3 limes)
- 1 1/4 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 equal pieces
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, place squash cut side down; cover sheet tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until squash is easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 45 to 55 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine onion, 1 tablespoon oil, lime zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper. Let stand until onion is softened, at least 15 minutes.
When squash is about 10 minutes from being done, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Place 2 steaks in skillet, and cook until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with foil; repeat with remaining steaks. Let rest at least 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, holding squash over a medium bowl, use a fork to scrape flesh into strands. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Top steaks with pickled onion, and serve with squash.

docsloki12 NOV, 2008Spaghetti squash is a particlar type of sqash. It is yellow and looks like well, hmmm, an American footbball - sort of oblong. Once it has been cooked you can take a fork and shred the flesh into what looks like strands of spaghetti. I don't know if it is common in the UK or not.Reply
kearns26 AUG, 2008could someone please tell me what spaghetti squash is. i live in the uk and i am familiar with the vegetable squash but not speghetti squash, where would i be able to purchase this.!!!!!!Reply
firstname.lastname@example.com AUG, 2008Skirt Steak is from the lower half of the cow. Ther under-belly or the plate n n n n n n produces types of steak such as the skirt steak [fajitas] and hanger steak. It is typically a cheap, tough, and fatty meat. Delicious beef flavor.Reply
k8m21 AUG, 2008I made this last night for dinner. I bought all of the ingredients for $10 and I thought the prep for this dinner was supper easy. I have never had Spahetti Squash before but now I'm hooked. Don't let the 1 hour total time scare you. After the squash was cooked the rest of the meal took about 10 mins to finish. I look forward to making this again.Reply

Aamir Khan is known to be a
marketing genius and this time again he has taken an innovative way to promote
his film 'Dhoom 3' by dedicating a special song to this cricketing legend
The 'Dhoom 3' team has decided
to dedicate a song 'Dhoom Machale', which has been the title track for 'Dhoom'
franchise since its inception, to Sachin.
"Sachin is the pride of
India. He provides us with hope and inspiration, and makes us feel good about ourselves.
His retirement will leave an empty feeling in all of us. But today we should
celebrate his spectacular innings as a cricketer, as a human being, and as an
icon," Aamir said as a statement to the press reports here.
"Through his entire career
he has created DHOOM in every step, on every pitch, in every cricketing
country, in every bowler's nightmare, in our hearts, in every cricket field
across the world, and in the hearts of every cricket fan across the world, so
we dedicate our song 'Dhoom Machale' to this batting genius," he said.
The song will be dedicated to
Sachin before the start of his last Test match in Mumbai.
'Dhoom 3' is the third part in
the hit franchise of 'Dhoom'. This time Aamir has turned the bad guy, while
Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will reprise their roles of Jai and Ali. The movie
also stars Katrina Kaif.

How can I avoid an image being stretched on a mobile deviceAsked by fhpw on April 30, 2015 at 11:58 PM
When viewing my form in portrait mode on my mobile device the image is stretched. Is there a way to avoid the some images filling the media screen, while allow other images to respond?
The image show is too large.
Form Link: https://secure.jotformpro.com/form/51174046122949
You can try limiting the width of the image you don't want expanded by applying specific widths to them.
Goto Setup & embed -> designer
Goto the CSS tab, click on the image wizard whose size you want to limit, when you click the element a CSS class will be added automatically, add a width property of 50% i.e width: 50% !important;
Save and test the preview
Hi Sammy,
It worked but changed the ratio. Also, it changed the top banner, which I do want stretched.
I will just leave it as is.
JotForm Support
In addition to what Sammy had suggested, you can also try to add this codes inside the #cid_18{}.display: block; max-width:230px; max-height:95px; width: auto; height: auto;
You may, of course, set the max-width and max-height to your own preference.
Let us know if this doesn't help still or if you just want to stick with how it looks right now and leave it as it is just like you have said above.

A friend asked me once what I like to cook. I remember telling him that it really depends on which ingredients are available, and he in turn asked me if there is any dish that I particularly love to cook but unfortunately, I don't get to often. So hence, this dish, which (haha it rhymes) is originally of my mother's invention (she swears that it was an experiment involving chicken, tomato, and cheese in a combination she has already forgotten). With her permission, I modified the recipe. Below is the recipe I am excited to share with you all!
You'll need:
2 chicken breasts, sliced thinly*
5 leaves fresh oregano, chopped finely
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup tomato sauce
2 cups grated quickmelt cheese**
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp corn starch, dissolved in water
For sauteeing, you'll need:
2 tbsp olive oil***
1 onion, finely chopped
garlic, crushed
1 chicken broth cube
Pre-heat oven to 180°C (356°F)****
Saute garlic and onion in olive oil, until golden. Add water, and dissolve broth cube, then add chicken. Let simmer for five minutes, then add half the tomatoes, then save tomatoes for later. Let simmer again for five minutes, then pour in tomato sauce and the dissolved cornstarch mixture. Sprinkle finely chopped oregano.
Serve in a microwave oven/oven friendly dish. Add the remaining tomatoes and oregano, and the grated cheese. Re-heat for ten minutes.
****If you're using a microwave oven instead, set the time to five minutes.
After that, it's ready to be served! Enjoy, and please let me know if you guys tried this and if you liked it!
*I've also tried this with fish--mainly with dory.
** Mainly used quickmelt cheese, would one day venture into using mozarella.
*** You can use any type of cooking oil. Olive oil is just personal preference, and I believe it contributes to the flavour.
If you've got questions about the preparation, please feel free to comment, or send me an email, the address provided in my About page.
How's your weekend so far? :)

text: AK Notepad isn't just a note taker, it's a problem solver. Ok, so I'm the guy that forgets your name right after I'm told.

AK Notepad is one of those simple, but must have apps. It allows you to take notes about anything at anytime. No paper or pen required. Very easy, yet it has a lot more power if you'd like. One of the best things about AK Notepad is that it's fully customizable. It has different themes depending on your personality. You can make the background mimick that old-school yellow page with lines feel. Or if you're in touch with your feminine-side, you can use the Rosy Pink theme. Need reading glasses? You're in luck- You have the option of making the text larger (or smaller) as well a changing the font. AK Notepad integrates with Android's sharing options easily letting you share your notes with others through email or your favorite Social Media network.

Some of its key features: Set alarm to specific notes Backup your notes to your SD card Make emails and links within your notes active Backup your notes online Import Notes Export Notes Password protect app on launch Adjust font and/or text size Assign Labels to notes It's free Conclusion: Don't let the "Notepad" name from another OS fool you into thinking it's a watered down version of anything.

Missing Missouri Baby
October 8, 2011 by staff
Missing Missouri Baby, FBI agents went a landfill in Kansas for the second time this week as the search for a missing 10-month-old Missouri girl entered its fourth day – and just hours after the boy's mother said the police accused of being involved.
The agents and Kansas City police spent about two hours Friday in Deffenbaugh Industries landfill in the suburb of Shawnee, FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said. She would not discuss details but confirmed the activity was related to the search for Lisa Irwin, whose parents said was snatched from her crib in the middle of the night.
Patton said it was the second time the FBI had been in the landfill, the researchers also sought Tuesday – the same day that the girl was reported missing – and it was not uncommon to find an area several times. Police said officers also returned to the family home and used metal detectors to search for the patio.
Lisa's mother, Deborah Bradley, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that police said he failed a lie detector test and accused of involvement in the disappearance of her baby.
Bradley said the police never showed him the test results and denied knowing anything about what happened to her daughter. She and the father of Lisa, Jeremy Irwin, said her daughter was abducted late on Monday afternoon or sometime early Tuesday morning.
"They told me not (a polygraph)," said Bradley, 25,. "He continued saying it is not possible because I do not know where he is and he did not."
Irwin, 28, said he also offered to do a test, but police said it was not necessary.
Kansas City police spokesman Steve Young refused to comment on whether the parents have been tested, citing the ongoing investigation.
The couple said police have treated as suspicious and Bradley, in particular, has been preparing for the possibility of charges. She said investigators told him: ".. 'You did what you did and have nothing."
Experts say that frustration is understandable, but that the police often focus on close relatives in these cases, partly because statistics show that children much younger and children are killed by a parent than a stranger.
"The suspicion often falls heavily on parents, especially young children," said David Finkelhor, director of the Center for Crimes Against Children Research at the University of New Hampshire.
"For a parent who has been kidnapped stranger is true, this is devastating. You are dealing with the loss of a child, and the police are regarded as one of the main suspects," Finkelhor said. "You can get that do not cooperate because the family feels mistreated by the police."
Police said Lisa's parents decided to stop cooperating with investigators late Thursday, but the couple released a statement saying it never stopped and reiterated on Friday her goal was "to bring Lisa home."

Central North Airport GroupDividend Yield: 9.50% Central North Airport Group (NASDAQ: OMAB) shares currently have a dividend yield of 9.50%. Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V., through its subsidiaries, develops, operates, and maintains airports in Mexico. It also operates NH T2 Hotel inside Terminal 2 of the Mexico City International Airport. The company has a P/E ratio of 23.19. The average volume for Central North Airport Group has been 45,200 shares per day over the past 30 days. Central North Airport Group has a market cap of $1.5 billion and is part of the transportation industry. Shares are up 34.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates Central North Airport Group as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and expanding profit margins. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 0.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 16.3%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 27.58% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 94.79% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, OMAB should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- GRUPO AEROPORTUARIO DEL CENT has improved earnings per share by 27.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, GRUPO AEROPORTUARIO DEL CENT increased its bottom line by earning $1.25 versus $0.88 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.52 versus $1.25).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Transportation Infrastructure industry. The net income increased by 27.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $14.38 million to $18.33 million.
- The gross profit margin for GRUPO AEROPORTUARIO DEL CENT is rather high; currently it is at 59.90%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 28.65% is above that of the industry average.

Hello and Goodbye / Re: Yo« on: March 14, 2017, 10:56:04 AM »
Sorry dude, this place is dead. Nothing but tumbleweeds up in here...
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
Introduction to Pyrokinesis
Pyrokinesis is the psychic ability to manipulate or create fire. Generally, one begins manipulating a candle's flame. In more advanced practices one can extinguish a candle flame or reignite a flame that has went out. Pyrokinesis is a branch of psychokinesis. Another common name for Pyrokinesis is "Flame Manipulation".
Flickering Candle
1. Familiarity with the flame
It is important to first understand what fire is. Fire is a chemical reaction resulting in the burning of material that produces a flame. Light a candle and look at the flame. Concentrate on how the flame stands still. Close your eyes and visualize this flame. It may help to meditate briefly, visualizing this flame.
2. Familiarity with Energy
As with all practices, it will be very helpful to understand what energy is. If it helps, meditate and get ready to perform psychokinesis on the candle flame.
3. Concentration on the flame
It is important that you are in an area that has no air current. If there is air current, it may not be you moving the flame. Concentrate on the candle flame. Visualize it moving in your mind. Establish a link between yourself and the candle flame so that it is easier for you to manipulate the flame.
4. Move the flame
Use your energy to manipulate the flame. Take your visualization and push the flame with your energy, making what is in your mind become enforced on the candle. This may take a few tries. When you are able to shift the candle to one side, allow it to come back to rest. Shift the candle back to the other side. Allow the flame to flicker.
5. Retrospection
Were you successful? Were you struggling? Consider the successes and failures of your practice and try again later. Understand that more practice will help. Do not confine yourself to one brand of psychokinesis, but rather journey to others. Always learn from your mistakes, and remember your triumphs.
Dimming/Extinguishing Candle
Read the above steps, one through four. We will then continue on from four.
1. Dampen the lights
Visualize the lit candle in your mind inside a dark room(perhaps the room you are currently in). Visualize the room getting darker, and as a result, the candle getting dimmer. The candle is now very dim, and almost extinguished. As the room becomes dark, so does the candle.
2. Down the flame
With your energy, manipulate the flame to be smaller. Because fire lives on oxygen, it may help you to visualize putting something over the candle that prevents oxygen from getting in, therefore reducing the candle's size. Come up with your own way if this does not work. There is no right way, only the way that works for you!
3. Retrospection
Did the candle dim? Were you able to extinguish it? Always seek answers to questions you have while practicing, and always ask more. If you could not dim the candle, practice again or perhaps try another form of psychokinesis.
Re-lighting the Candle
1. Extinguish the flame
Either manually or through psychokinesis, extinguish the flame on the candle. Due to the wick being hot, it will help the wick re-ignite.
2. The Phoenix
From the ashes, the phoenix rises again. Similarly, a flame can come again where there is but a burnt wick. Visualize the extinguished candle in your mind, and focus on it re-igniting. Watch as it re-ignites. Do this multiple times until you feel satisfied with its re-ignition.
3. Performance
Using your energy and visualization, focus on the extinguished candle and concentrate on making it re-ignite. Visualize a spark on the wick growing into a flame, aided by your energy. You can use your own method, as the one stated is one of many.
4. Retrospection
Did the candle re-ignite? If not, do not worry. This is one of the most difficult tasks in psychokinesis. Practice makes perfect.
Sigil magick (A.O.Spare style) was the only system to every truly work for me. Because it's of the psychological model and there are very simple principals behind the how and why it works. There is no faith nor belief involved. I've lost faith and belief in the spiritual aspect of magick. That 'God' has some meaning to anything, and for some stupid reason 'demons' and other such supposed entities will do what you say just because of self-entitlement.
https://www.ics.uci.edu/~jutts/air.pdfEven that doesn't convince me.
If it's purely internal is that so bad?
Sifu Anthony Korahais left the school, I'm a student of Sifu Anthony Spinicchia from Vegas.
I think it is interesting that through working with the vital force in the chinese paradigm one can experience a self balancing effect.
Stand upright
Smile from the heart
These are the major skills involved at a basic level.
Then repeating a special technique of physical movement to generate a flow of vital force, and enjoying the flow for a time before consolidating that flow at the lower abdomen energy center. It's the state of enjoying the energy flow part that does the balancing, cleansing, building, and nourishing, not so much just tapping the energy, but letting it flow where it most needs to be.
Simple, direct, and effective. Good health mentally and physically is supposed to be the natural state. So I somewhat disagree that all work with the vital force will lean towards only enabling ones current state of being, rather than helping one grow stronger.
One cannot discount the effect of the mind. Expectation. If told during instruction that something will happen, then it likely will. If told that it will create Yin and Yang or Electric and Magnetic balance in the body and possibly cure any ailment, because all aliment is a result of imbalance, then diligent and correct practice will produce the effect in a lot of cases.
I'm not talking out of my ass here, there are thousands of people that have learned this stuff from my teachers teacher over the last thirty years and have gotten massive benefit.
Maybe because you behave like assholes. Think about it.
Well Kemetin, then your experience has been very different from mine.
I think I've said everything I've wanted to say this time round.
TDS will continue to be called home by many spiritual seekers, and will continue to have success (students achieving the goals that the school sets out to help them achieve), and in fact improve.
Hopefully the school will take steps to place more emphasis on precautions, but ultimately, nothing can shield anyone from their own fate, and no one can walk the path for you, or overcome its obstacles for you.
Some will benefit from TDS and some won't. That's life. If I'm being a bit flippant then so be it, this whole thing is a bit tiring. For someone who has benefited as much from TDS as I have, there's no real point in trying to argue with someone who hasn't had that experience. I like TDS's style, their curriculum, and probably most of all the community. I have absolutely no problem with the fact that there are people who really don't. It's fine. There are many, many other places to go - I just happen to like this one, and it's worked exceedingly well for me, and that's really all the justification I need.
People who want to hold on to anger and vengeance will do that, and see how it works out for them.
As far as I can tell everyone recovered anyway, so let's have some perspective.
These are rather tame first world aspirant's problems, none of us here know true suffering. That being said, I truly hope that everyone who was or felt hurt recovers fully, and that they are able to move on and find true peace, health and happiness.
And, hopefully, the Veritas Magick forum will some day have meaningful activity apart from endless, circular TDS discussions.

Awakening Giants, Feet of Clay
China's and India's emerging status as economic powerhouses dominates headlines and promises to alter the geopolitical landscape of the 21st century. Already the two countries account for one-fifth of the world economy and are projected to represent a full third of the world's income by 2025.
While undoubtedly impressive, the phenomenal growth of China and India has also become a story wrapped in myth, according to economist Pranab Bardhan. "One should not underestimate the structural weaknesses and the social and political uncertainties that cloud the horizon for these two countries," he says.
Constraints, uncertainties, and the conventional wisdom that ignores them form the theme of Professor Bardhan's September 30 lecture "Awakening Giants, Feet of Clay," kicking off this year's three-part BP Speaker Series, China, India, Iran: Myths and Realities Inside Asia's Emerging Powers.
Bardhan takes his lecture title from his latest book, Awakening Giants, Feet of Clay: Assessing the Economic Rise of China and India, published in April by Princeton University Press. Reviewing the book for Forbes.com, Jeff Wasserstrom praised Bardhan for writing "with remarkable clarity about complex issues, such as the widely varying ways that corruption can affect the economy, and the positive as well as negative legacy of the Maoist era for China in terms of its recent trajectory." Tarun Khanna of Harvard Business School called the book "erudite, informative, and accessible. ... You do not have to agree with him to be stimulated and rewarded."
Born in India, Professor Bardhan graduated from Presidency College, Kolkata, and Cambridge University, where he received his Ph.D. He has taught at Berkeley since 1977, following teaching stints at MIT and the Delhi School of Economics.
He is the author of 12 books and editor of 12 more. He has done theoretical and field studies research on rural institutions in poor countries, the political economy of development policies, and international trade. He served as Chief Editor of the Journal of Development Economics from 1985 to 2003 and in 2008 held the Distinguished Fulbright Siena Chair at the University of Siena. For 2010-11 he is the BP Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics.

Pretty cool. But white? Yawn.
It would be cooler if it was on a different coloured background or if the items were not in red - like maybe black.
Also please make in scoopneck girly.
The hoody looks way better than the shirt. Maybe slim fit or different color scheme?
This would look much better on black/heather gray shirt.
Little boys!
Flawless~ I'm buying.
Make it in black!!
white was a mistake
Love the white and hoody looks great - buying a couple for me and one for my gamer bro. I think there is too much Zelda stuff in black and it doesn't work that well unless it's very simple. Also the colour palette of Zelda games is vibrant not dark.
I like the white for the hoodie itself but I think the items would look better in black.

< Go to Baby Bottles
Hands-on Gear Review
Tommee Tippee Feeding Review
Price: $9.00 List | $4.11 each (in 4-pack) at Amazon
Pros: Assemble/clean, few parts, natural latch, price
Cons: Plastic, some feeding leaks
Bottom line: Budget friendly bottle that is easy to use, clean, & latch
The Skinny
The Tommee Tippee feeding bottle is a nice little bottle that is easy to use and easy to hold for parents and little ones. We like the latch friendly nipple with the vent system that limits air ingestion. We like the wide mouth body that is easy to clean, fill, and assemble. While this bottle is made of plastic and might be hard to warm in most bottle warmers, we still think it brings a lot to the table for such a friendly price that it easily won our Best Value award and a place among the favorites for our little testers.
RELATED REVIEW: The Best Baby Bottles of 2017
Our Analysis and Hands-on Test Results
The Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Bottle is BPA free and designed to promote easier feedings. The compact shape of the bottle allows for a natural feeding position and with three different holding options. This nipple was designed with breastfeeding experts to mimic the breast's natural flex, stretch, and movement. It is soft silicone that feels like skin with a super sensitive valve that eliminates excessive air flow, so baby ingests less air and encourages baby's intuitive feeding action. The bottles and nipples are easy to clean and fill with a wide opening, and they are microwave and dishwasher safe.
Performance Comparison
With a second-place score, it is clear why the Tommee earned an award as shown in this comparison chart of the overall scores for products in this review.
The sections below include information on what we like and dislike about the Tommee and how it compares to the competition. The testing results determined the overall score.
The Tommee Tippee is a great budget-friendly bottle that has a lot of very likable attributes. The most notable being no noticeable leakage from the separate bottle parts during feeding or transportation. We also didn't see any leaking from the valve, and there is only minimal leaking and dribbling from baby's mouth thanks to the nipple designs diameter that mimics mother's breast. This kind of leaking is similar to leaking that occurs when a baby breastfeeds as well.
We also like the nipple on this bottle. It is large and similar to the breast which makes for an easy transition from breastfeeding and back again. The nipples didn't collapse while feeding thanks to being slightly harder and firmer than most of the competition.
The design of this bottle is wide and easy to clean. It could even be cleaned with a sponge or towel if you don't have a bottle brush handy. It has only three parts and the shallow design that means you can reach the bottom with your hand. The bottle is easy to assemble with a body, nipple, and collar that work well together and easy to attach in your sleep. The bottle and all its parts can be boiled, microwaved, and steam sterilized as needed.
This bottle excels at ease of use and is one that will likely please parents as well as a baby. The bottle design is compact and contoured, so it is easy to hold and grip. It is very lightweight and feels sturdy and durable with no tipping despite its top heavy end. It has a minimal number of parts so there is little that can go wrong, though you do want to check the valve regularly to ensure it is working properly. The measurements are clearly marked on the outside and are easy to read. This bottle is easy to carry and doesn't take up a lot of space or add a lot of weight to your diaper bag.
We like the overall value of this bottle as well; it is the cheapest option in the group, and it is the easiest to use.
The dislikes for the Tippee are few, but they are something to consider depending on your needs and goals. The first dislike is the flow rate of the nipples is faster than comparable nipples in this review. It isn't a deal breaker, but it does mean you might want to choose a slower rate nipple than you think you want. If your baby is frustrated, you can always go to a faster flow.
Because the bottle is plastic, it is a little harder to clean than glass. While the mouth is large and easy to clean by hand, the milk residue can stick to the inside. Some of the residues may get stuck in the wide part just below the nipple as well. The plastic will also show more wear over time, and the volume markings will disappear after repeated washings.
We also disliked that the shape of the nipple causes the last remnants of milk to get trapped in the wide area just below the nipple and can be difficult to get the last of the milk out. The bottle needs to be almost entirely upside down to get the milk out of the nipple. We also found in our tests that baby can block the vent with their mouth or hands while feeding because of its location on the nipple. While it didn't happen all the time it was frustrating for some younger babies to manage before they attempted to shift the bottle. The short and compact shape of the bottle also prevents this option from being used in most if not all bottle warmers.
This bottle scored poorly for eco-health because it is plastic and made in China. For more information on why we aren't huge fans of plastics, you can read our article Are Plastics Safe for Baby Bottles and Sippy Cups?.
Tommee Tippee feeding bottle is a very nice little bottle with a small price. It came in second place overall in our review and performed well enough to win our Best Value award. This bottle is easy to assemble and clean, comes with an easy latch anti-colic vented nipple made of silicone and is easy to hold and grip. We liked that it didn't leak, has few parts, transports well, and is well liked by our baby testers. Though it's plastic and the markings have a tendency to wear off we think the downsides are minor compared to what you get for such an economical price. The best part is if you like the nipple and the design of the bottle, you can always opt for the glass variety for a winning combination that is eco-health conscious.
Other Versions and Accessories
Tommee Tippee makes this same type of bottle in a glass version with the same nipple and covers called the Glass Feeding Bottle. We think it is likely a good option for parents who'd rather have a glass bottle instead of a plastic one. While we didn't review this bottle, we feel that the plastic version scored so well that the glass version is likely to perform in a similar fashion with the benefit of glass.
Tommee Tippee makes some accessories that will make using this bottle more enjoyable including bottle brushes, formula dispenser, bottle bags, storage lids, breast pump adapters, and the Tommee Tippee Pump and Go Bottle and Pouch Warmer.

Interpol alert for 13 Mumbai attack suspects wanted by Pakistan
Interpol's National Central Bureau (NCB) in Islamabad has issued a global alert for 13 suspects wanted by Pakistan police in connection with the Mumbai terror attacks of November 2008, the global police agency said on Thursday.world Updated: Aug 06, 2009 20:38 IST
Interpol's National Central Bureau (NCB) in Islamabad has issued a global alert for 13 suspects wanted by Pakistan police in connection with the Mumbai terror attacks of November 2008, the global police agency said on Thursday.
The alert asks Interpol member-countries to assist in locating the fugitives and immediately notify NCB Islamabad and Interpol headquarters in Lyon with any investigative leads.
If the fugitives are located, Pakistani authorities will then formally request provisional arrest with a view towards extradition, in accordance with any applicable extradition treaty, Interpol said.
Sent via the agency's I-24/7 secure police communications network to all member-countries, the alert - called a diffusion - contains the fugitives' names and other nominal data.
Registered by the agency's Command and Coordination Centre database of wanted persons, the diffusion will ensure that all Interpol member-countries will be alerted to the wanted status of the 13 individuals and that their movements are recorded, the agency said.
In a statement, Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble praised Pakistan's co-operation with the international police community.
He said the investigation into the Mumbai terror attacks highlighted the vital role played by the world police body's "international tools" that circulate information worldwide to ensure the location and eventual arrest of suspected terrorists.
"Unless terrorist-related information is registered on Interpol's global databases and shared among its global network, no international terrorist investigation can ever be considered complete and all countries which do not have this vital information are at risk," Noble said.
"The authorities in Pakistan are to be commended for making full use of Interpol's global network and tools. This demonstrates their commitment to allowing all of Interpol's 187 member-countries to benefit from and help with the investigation into the Mumbai terrorist attacks."
"Pakistan's actions in this case will help set new international standards for terrorism investigations, especially those involving non-nationals," added Noble, who visited India and Pakistan immediately after the 26/11 attacks.

I noticed you have been editing the
User: namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a Userspace policy that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --~ platinumsol 23:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Your userspace privileges are not going to be returned to you yet. There was no reason for you to not know the rule. It's not only linked in the welcome, but it is also linked in one of the warnings you got to stop editing the userspace excessively. You were given three warnings to stop editing to much, it is your own fault for disregarding them, and continuing to edit your userpage. Now stop complaining about it to Alpha Totodile, there is nothing he can do about your userspace revocation. Now, instead of complaining about your userpage, go make constructive edits to the mainspace. - Kogoro | Talk to me - 20:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Energy efficiency and energy savings
In-depth studies show that, all figures being equivalent, taking into account the energy efficiency at both production and distribution level, the consumption figures are as follows:
conventional cars
electric vehicles
fuel consumption / 100 km
electricity equivalent
electricity consumption
8,5 l gasoline
909 Wh / km
488 Wh / km
12 l gasoline
1283 Wh / km
600 Wh / km
small lorry
16 l diesel
1910 Wh / km
1000 Wh / k
Table 1: Average consumption of conventional cars and electric vehicles [1]
[1] G. Maggetto, P. Van den Bossche and J. Van Mierlo, CITELEC report "Force electrique en Wallonie: les vehicules electriques et hybrides en Wallonie, une solution ecologique durable pour la circulation urbaine"
These figures show that electric cars, vans or small lories, respectively consume 54%, 47% and 52% of the primary energy needed by internal combustion vehicles. It is clear that electric vehicles are much more energy efficient. This advantage will increase when it will be possible to recharge vehicles by connecting them directly to electricity production sources with a total output efficiency exceeding 50% (plants with combined gas/steam cycle, fuel cells, buffer batteries, etc.).
Taking into account an average mileage of 10000 km per year, which is the standard figure for vehicles in urban areas, the energy savings obtained by replacing conventional cars by electric vehicles are:
energy savings [kWh / year per vehicle]
energy savings converted into fuel volumes [l / year per vehicle]
Table 2: Energy and fuel savings due to electric vehicles
When regenerative braking is applied, kinetic energy can be recuperated and sent to the batteries. This can lead to an economy of about 10%.
Other benefits
The introduction of EVs leads to a significant decrease of pollutants in the atmosphere. Taken into account indirect emissions from energy production, we can compare the emission values for each type of car.Figure 5 shows emission values as the total sum of operation-related emissions and emissions associated with final energy supply for Europe in the year 2000, for conventional cars (petrol, diesel and compressed natural gas) and electric cars. Figure 6 shows the CO 2 emissions from the engine and those associated with final energy supply, for European cities.
Figure 5: Vehicle emissions in Europe, 2002 [2]
Figure 6: Energy-related CO 2 emissions [2]
[2] UNIPEDE 1998 Report
From these tables it is clear that EVs pollute less for almost all pollutants. Only for sulphur dioxide, the figure remains larger, because of the number of sulphurous coal plants. This is becoming more and more controlled, and the part associated with electric vehicles is actually rather marginal compared to other polluters. However, this figure should decrease substantially thanks to the improvement in emission control and the use of natural gas in the next few years. The global ecological impact is firmly positive.
In figure 6 we see EVs produce less than half as much CO 2 as the other drive variants.
Moreover, most of inner city movements are very short. So thermal engines remain in general rather cold, which means that emissions are higher and that efficiency is low. Catalyst converters only work properly at a sufficiently high temperature after some kilometres.
In brief, low pollution by EVs is due to the higher efficiency of electric plants. Emissions from EVs are located outside the cities and it is easier to control emissions of one electricity plant than to control thousands of vehicles exhaust pipes.
It is clear that EVs have an important role to play in the reduction of CO 2 emissions to avoid climate change and in the targets that have been defined in the Kyoto Protocol.
Thermal engines are always rotating, even during a stop. EV motors, on the contrary, are stopped each time the vehicle stops. In traffic jams and at traffic lights EVs neither emit nor consume anything, except for auxiliaries such as lighting and radio.
The use of EVs will contribute to a stronger European independence regarding energy supplies,because the market share of diesel and petrol, which are oil products, will become smaller.
Traffic noise is making the atmosphere of modern cities quite unbearable. Thousands of combustion-engined vehicles are generating an annoying background noise which degrades quality of life in cities.
The electric vehicle is virtually silent and allows to rediscover the beauty of a moment of silence and quietness. What about living "windows opened" in the very city centre ?
Most of the air pollution in today's European cities is caused by automotive traffic. Particularly in adverse climatic conditions, traffic generated emissions are degrading air quality up to the point where the physical health of the citizens is directly threatened. Several cities already had to recur to drastic traffic restrictions.
Electric vehicle stands for clean air as iit is effectively zero-emission at its point of use. Furthermore, the emissions due to the generation of electricity are significantly lower than the corresponding vehicle emissions, due to the high efficiency of today's power stations.
Mobility and congestion
Today's urban traffic is grinding to a halt. Thousands of passenger cars and lorries are stuck in traffic jams which become worse and worse, leading to loss of time and energy, as well as extra pollution.
The electric vehicle is ideally suited to be integrated in new traffic management concepts, such as automatic rent-a-car systems and goods distribution centres, which emphasise the complementarity of transport modes and which contribute to the relief of traffic congestion.
Cultural Heritage
Our European cities have a history of many centuries and can be rightly proud of an unique cultural and architectural heritage. This century however, they have been aggressively invaded by the motor car which through its emissions and through the traffic problems it causes, is forming a real threat to their conservation.
The electric vehicle, through its respect for the environment, allows the integration of traffic in sensitive historic areas.
Innovation and technological developments in the field
All car manufacturers have a very well developed research policy concerning battery, hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles. An important number of auxiliary industries are also deeply involved. The component industry (e.g. battery and electronics manufactures) has a key role to play as well as universities and other R & D institutes. Electricity suppliers are also very interested as there is huge potential for their market.
Todays, manufacturers have concept cars which clearly indicate what tomorrow's electric will be like. These vehicles will integrate electric power from the very start of vehicle conception through design to materials chosen. Parallely, continuous research on sophisticated electronic management systems and new generation of batteries allow an increased range.
However, it is commonly agreed that pure electric vehicles are a sustainable alternative for commuters and low mileage drivers. In this specific context they have a large potential for niche markets such as city delivery vans, busses or vehicles designed for a specific task (e.g. airports, warehouses, postal services, ...).
Hybrid vehicles appear to be the medium term solution and the logical way to reduce the energy consumption of today's conventional cars.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicles is a kind of combination between pure electric cars and hybrids. They have in fact a connection to the grid allowing overnight charging as well as a lager battery enabling the vehicle to run full electric on a long distance, like for example in city centre. It results lower environmental impact and reduced dependence on foreign oil sources.
Finally, fuel cell vehicles are expected to be the future, offering greatest benefits over future internal combustion engines while offering the same performance. The price and infrastructure problems remain big challenges.

At about 11pm CST last night the switch was turned off. Wish I could post a graphic from my server. Then at noon today the switched was turned back on. Seeing scrapers and dup sites winning again and legit sites losing. It will be a temporary issue, but one that recurs almost weekly now.
This may explain my traffic changes today
Maybe some other adsense publishers from your niche got penalized, so thanks to lower number of impressions in system average CPC increased a bit.

Well known Dublin criminal among 60 alleged dealers arrested in garda swoop
In Dublin's south inner city officers made 26 arrests as part of 'Operation Tempest', targeting one of the biggest heroin dealing gangs in the country.
Reports indicate that some of those arrested have connections to heroin kingpin Greg Lynch, who survived an attempt on his life in 2013 when he was blasted with a shotgun in a botched hit.
Greg Lynch
As well as Dublin criminals 25 people were charged in Cork city and seven in Wexford.
Of the seven, five are from the one family; mother and father Billy and Margaret Connors and their three sons Paddy, Johnny and James.
All five appeared in Wexford district court on Tuesday.
In Cork gardai under 'Operation Emerson' made 25 arrests, nine of whom were women.
In total more than 100 garda raids were conducted in less than 48 hours.
Searches were carried out on more than 50 residential addresses by drug unit personal supported by Regional Support Units, Detective units, Dog Units and the Drug and Organised Crime Bureau.

From Shaftesbury towards Stalbridge
Steve White and Clive Hannay follow Treves as he heads west in the North
Published in November '11
The beginning of chapter III of Highways and Byways in Dorset finds Sir Frederick Treves in the beautiful Blackmore Vale. While evidently impressed with the area, not all the villages find his favour;
'Here lie the towns of Stalbridge and Sturminster Newton. The road to Stalbridge is across a very comely country, wherein are many picturesque villages. East and West Stour are, however, not of this type. At East Stour was the farmhouse in which Henry Fielding the novelist lived…. The house at East Stour was rebuilt in 1835, but the back part of the present building is so evidently old that it may have belonged to the original structure…..by the farmhouse [is] an old garden wall which must have been standing in Fielding's time, and which would be familiar to him if he revisited this region of the earth'.
Henry Fielding (1707-1754) is most famous for his novel The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, made into the film Tom Jones during the 1960's. He and his brother were also responsible for the formation of the Bow Street Runners; perhaps London's first police force. The house Fielding lived in – the 'tolerably respectable farmhouse' as he called it – was completely demolished in 1835, it appears however, that the original mullioned windows were reused in the rebuild. The present owner, whose family took the farm over in 1919 and changed the name from 'Fielding's Farm' to 'Church Farm', kindly showed us around – the old garden wall which would be familiar to Fielding remains.
Having admired the view from the heights of Stour Hill – as impressive now as it was then, Treves moves on to the next village in this chapter: 'A little way down on the west side of this steep slope [Stour Hill] is the hamlet of Kingston Magna. The name of Kingston Magna – the great town of the King – would rather befit London than this tiny, sequestered place, upon which ever fall the very last rays of the setting sun from across the Blackmore valley.Kingston Magna was an ancient demesne of kings before the Conquest, and figures conspicuously in the Domesday Book. The fact that it commands one of the most beautiful views of the famous vale in some part accounts for the esteem in which it was held.'
It is not apparent why Treves refers to Kington Magna as Kingston Magna. The prefix Kington has been used for centuries and has not, unlike some Dorset villages, been changed in the last 100 years. Most likely it could have been an editorial change, out of Treves's hands; whilst he did make some errors in his book he was a native of Dorset and surely would have been aware of the correct spelling.
He continues: 'The present village straggles down hill like a small mountain stream. In the approach to it one meets with an ancient church, which stands upon a platform or bastion as if it watched over the hamlet below. Its fine ivy-clad tower is sheltered by yew trees which seem as old as it is itself. Such is the situation of the churchyard on the precipitous incline that if the recumbent dead could but lift their heads a little they could look down the whole fair sweep of the valley.'
Seen from the churchyard the village still 'straggles downhill', there are more houses now but the village retains its charm. Treves seems to have been fooled by an excellent church restoration carried out only a few years before he visited; the church is not ancient; all but the 15th-century tower was replaced in the 1860s.
Regrettably, the church cannot now be said to be sheltered by yew trees; a couple of small specimens are to be found, but near the tower stands a large, dead trunk of what must have been a magnificent yew.
The late Rodney Legg, while writing the opening paragraph for his December 2006 Dorset Life 'villages' series, stated that 'The best ecclesiastical view in Dorset, at ground level, is that from All Saints at Kington Magna.'
It is difficult to argue with this as the view is quite sublime. Rodney went on to say that the name Kington was first recorded in 1203.
Travelling downhill Treves arrives at the wonderfully named village of Buckhorn Weston. He remarks that: 'Those who are curious in ancient things may descend to the floor of the valley, to the church of Buckhorn Weston. They will find on the tower a sun-dial with the date 1577 upon it, while in the church are some of those remarkable paintings on wood which were common in Dorset churches in bygone days.
The panels preserved at Buckhorn Weston are six in number, serving to represent Christ, the Virgin Mary, David, St. Cecilia, and in two examples an angel descending from heaven over some inhabited place. These pictures were originally on the front of the singers' gallery, but as that structure is now pulled down, the ancient panels are preserved in the tower.
The date on the sun-dial is difficult to decipher but actually reads 1599. The paintings, beautiful and still where Treves found them, are by Sir James Thornhill FRS (1675–1734), born in Melcombe Regis (Weymouth). Among his famous commissions were the Painted Hall at Greenwich hospital, parts of Blenheim Palace and the Dome of St Paul's cathedral. Thornhill was Court Painter to George I who knighted him, which was then apparently a first for an artist.
Treves now notes an enigmatic figure: 'There is also in the church a monument on which is the recumbent figure of a mysterious man. The features of the unknown have been worn away, his tomb is nameless and dateless, while so unfamiliar is his costume that none can declare his status or his occupation. I may say that this unknown of Buckhorn Weston is clad in a ''taberda'' which reaches half-way down the thighs; over his shoulders falls a ''scapular,'' while about his waist is a belt, studded with lozenges, from which is suspended a pouch.'
Next to the effigy is a modern description of the 'mysterious man'; he was apparently Alexander Mobray, of Kirklington in Yorkshire, who died in the village in 1410. His unfamiliar costume may be how he would have appeared had he just removed his armour.
'On the way hence to Stalbridge,' resumes Treves, 'are the two very charming villages of Stour Provost and Fifehead Magdalen. Stour Provost is a typical Dorset village, which has probably remained unchanged for the last hundred years. There are the quiet street of thatched cottages, the ancient rectory, a still more ancient farmhouse, and a little old church with a low tower and some lancet windows.'
The street of thatched cottages is still very peaceful and, notwithstanding a number of houses changing from thatch to tile over the last 100 years, the ubiquitous tarmac and the odd parked car, one is essentially seeing Stour Provost as Treves did. The ancient rectory and even more ancient farmhouse survive; interestingly Treves makes no mention of Church House, which is certainly ancient, dating from the early 16th century.
In yet another intriguingly named village, Treves notes: 'Fifehead Magdalen – the place of five hides dedicated to the Magdalen – is a hamlet rather than a village. It is shrouded in green, and some of the cottages with dormer windows in the thatch are evidently very old. Hutchins speaks of this little place – which belonged once to the nephew of William the Conqueror – as "as pleasant a spot as any in the county of Dorset".'
One definition of the term hamlet is a settlement too small to be a village – one large enough to build a church is a village. Fifehead Magdalen with its population of 88 (in 2001), despite having a church, is still unquestionably a hamlet due to its diminutive size. Again, there is some modern infill, but this has not been to its detriment and some of the ancient thatched cottages survive. Treves, who almost always mentions the church, omits Fifehead Magadalen's completely. The church guide could hold the answer – in 1904 (around the time Treves was cycling around this area researching his book) the church was undergoing a restoration.
'Those who are in search of picturesque villages in this part of the country will find the two just named to their liking…', declares Treves, not quite making amends for his comments about East and West Stour.
Grateful thanks to the following people for their help in researching this article: Karen at Church Farm, Dawn May of Stour Provost, J G Brunnen, for his excellent History of Stour Provost, and Greg Wells.
