A&E's New 'Duck Dynasty' Episodes Will Include Phil Robertson
When new episodes of A&E's "Duck Dynasty" begin airing in January, the suspended Phil Robertson will be there alongside his family.
But that doesn't mean that the current controversy — in which Robertson was suspended for anti-gay and offensive racial comments in a GQ article — has been resolved.
Nine of the 10 new episodes of "Duck Dynasty" featuring the 67-year-old patriarch have already been shot. They air starting Jan. 15, 2014.
"There's no negotiation to have; we're doing the show," an insider tells EW. "We'll figure out a solution. It's just not going to happen overnight. Everybody will take a break for the holidays and regroup afterward. That's probably the smartest thing for everyone to do. Time heals a lot of wounds."
A&E hopes that along with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, the media and fan furor will settle down so that tensions — especially around shooting future episodes — can be resolved.
However, another source close to the clan tells E!: "They're an extremely tight-knit family and they're not going to let this get in the way. (Phil) is the reason for their success; they're not going to abandon him. …
"They're also not about to let anyone threaten their religious beliefs."

This was a neighborhood crawling with talent.
"It was not uncommon to have boys and men walk around 'crooning,' as they would say," said Ruth Birchette, who grew up at 19th and Norris streets in North Philadelphia in the 1950s and '60s. "Many times I would run to my window to hear. It was so angelic."
Birchette was living in the sweet spot of the Philadelphia sound. Just up the street was the rehearsal space of the Dreamlovers (who backed up Chubby Checker on "The Twist" and had their own hit with "When We Get Married"); in the neighborhood lived members of the Stylistics ("You Make Me Feel Brand New"); and a short walk away was the Uptown Theater.
"If you can imagine these three-story, brick rowhouses, the voices of harmony just bellowing up into the sky," said Birchette. "I literally thought as a kid that all the neighborhood men could sing. I really, really, really did."
She could hardly be blamed for believing everybody could harmonize. There were record distributors lining both sides of Broad Street, and music sounding from windows.
"In the summer, I would open my window and play," said Bobby Eli, who got his first electric guitar at age 14 at 32nd and Diamond streets. "All of a sudden people were ringing my bell, asking who played guitar.
"One day this guy who had a group called the Ivy Tones rang my bell. He said he needed a guitar player to do a gig. I said, 'What's a gig?'"
Eli eventually got a gig to back up the Vibrations as they toured the world in the '70s. He is now a producer at his Grooveyard studio in Upper Darby.
The hallowed hall that was the Uptown
A mecca of R&B, the Uptown was the last rung before bands went to the Apollo Theater in New York. Every major star of African-American popular music came, including James Brown, the Supremes, the Marvelettes, Smokey Robinson — also comics Redd Foxx, Flip Wilson, and Moms Mabley, and jazz greats like Sarah Vaughan and Miles Davis.
"It was a big milestone to have a chance to go to the Uptown, when your parents trusted you to go to the Uptown. Because there were older boys there, you know. You only got to go to the matinee," said Birchette, whose father first let her go when she was 12 years old.
"I learned recently that my sister went on her first date at the Uptown. I didn't know that," she said. "Neither did my dad."
The success of the Uptown was due, in part, to its main mouthpiece, DJ Georgie Woods. Woods spun records at WDAS and WHAT, and became a calming voice during the 1964 race riots, later an activist for civil rights — all while announcing weather reports, delivering news reports, and playing crisp hits by the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and the Supremes.
Woods booked bands at the Uptown, sometimes emceeing the shows himself. His taste was trusted.
"When I first went inside the Uptown, it was a hallowed hall," said Eli, who often hid inside the auditorium so he could sneak into the second show. "I didn't want to pay extra to see the next show, so I would hide behind something."
Acts would come in for several days, sometimes more than a week, playing as many shows as the clock would allow: 50-cent weekday matinee shows for teenagers after school, an evening show (or two), and a midnight show. More shows were added on weekends.
"You didn't have time to go home," said Sam Reed, who led the 12-piece house band from 1963 to 1971. "Sometimes on Saturdays we did five or six shows, plus the midnight show. Sundays, we would do five shows."
The stars were down to earth
There was little down time, and little room for divas. The stars integrated themselves into the neighborhood.
"They really liked the tavern across the street from my house," said Birchette, who remembers musicians going to Ida's restaurant on 19th and Columbia (now Cecil B. Moore), and the Blue Angel Bar at Woodstock and Norris streets, where her brother once shared the bar top with the Temptations.
Most fans knew they could meet the stars on Carlisle Street, where the stage door opened behind the Uptown.
"There was a lady across the street, Miss Pearl," remembered Reed. "She was a fine cook. Everybody loved her food."
Miss Pearl did not own a restaurant, nor a permit to serve food. But she did, anyway.
"She would offer dinners and had a speakeasy thing going on," recalled Eli. "Dinner and drinks and hanging out. Those who liked gambling could go upstairs — craps and cards. Quite an interesting experience. She could cook some chitlins, man."
Miss Pearl is gone now, along with the golden age of the Uptown.
In 1971, Reed left for Los Angeles to pursue jazz. The neighborhood was getting rougher, and Georgie Woods stopped booking shows at the Uptown.
It closed in 1978, to be briefly revived in the 1980s as Nu-Tech. Then it was just shuttered and left to rot.
"The Uptown was purchased in 2001," said Linda Richardson, president of the Uptown Theater Entertainment and Development Corporation. "We have been active since 1995 in developing a strategy for revitalization in the Broad Street and Susquehanna communities."
Anticipating a revival
The UEDC has been nursing a $10 million fundraising campaign to bring back the dilapidated theater. In December, the corporation expects to complete a $3.5 million reconstruction of office spaces adjacent to the auditorium. The grand 2,100-seat auditorium is waiting for more millions to be raised.
Richardson wants to see the stage lit up again with multicultural performers.
"In the early stages of the Uptown, the neighborhood was multicultured. It was white, ethnic, and African-American," said Richardson. "Toward the '70s and '80s, it was predominately African-American. Then with [Temple] University came a broader population.
"While the demographics are changing from the time the Uptown was closed, it's very much the way the Uptown was in the '50s and '60s," she said.
As for Sam Reed, the former Uptown band leader, he came back home, settled in South Philadelphia, and for decades has been a indelible presence of the jazz community, recently retired from teaching at the Clef Club. He can't shake his R&B days at the Uptown.
"When I worked at Spider Kelly's, that was a jazz house. I worked at Showboat, which was a jazz house. Peps was a jazz house. They don't remember that," he said. "They just remember the Uptown."

Your artwork is gorgeous! Didn't know you were an artist. Big fan of both Angela Davis and bell hooks. Really like Alice Walker too ... never could get myself to switch from feminist to womanist although I am sure it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
My intellectual inspiration now comes from these two: Rachel Moran and Richard Delgado.
Must say I have always been really intrigued by chicana feminism. Love Chela Sandoval Really appreciate her concept of de-colonial feminism.
Also will always be touched by Gloria Anzaldua. Really appreciate the depth of emotion and originality in her work as well as her fierce yet quiet commitment to her own voice. Her concept of mestiza consciousness speaks to me very deeply.

Western Digital My Book Live Nas box
Homelan security?
Posted in Personal Tech, 31st December 2010 07:00 GMT
Review Western Digital's My Book line of drives spans nearly all areas of external storage, supporting fast modern interfaces from FireWire 800 and eSATA to USB 3.0. Yet the My Book Live is network drive and, in terms of connectivity, sports nothing more than a DC input and a gigabit Ethernet port.
Silent running: Western Digital My Book Live
Available in both one and two terabyte capacities, Western Digital claims 100MB/s read performance for the My Book Live. WD's instantly recognisable My Book enclosure makes another appearance here, which is likely to disappoint some potential purchasers familiar with this design. Alas it's not the most stable upright drive and prone to topple with the slightest nudge – not exactly ideal when your precious data is spinning at speeds in excess of 5000 RPM.
Vertical challenges aside, the My Book Live is passively cooled, as always. For those wanting a quiet Nas box to sit on their desk, this is ideal. However, much like every other WD drive that has utilised this enclosure, the Live runs fairly hot under load.
Admittedly, I have been impressed by the performance of other models in Western Digital's My Book line in the past – notably, the USB 3.0-equipped My Book 3.0. So I had high hopes that the My Book Live would live up to its claimed 100MB/s performance.
Testing with Crystal DiskMark 3.0 using a 1GB file size resulted in a maximum read rate of 48.33 MB/s, just under half of what the spec suggests. Inevitably conditions vary and different file sizes may produce a peak throughput. Still, the My Book Live is certainly not the slowest Nas box I've encountered by a long shot. Yet while it apparently doesn't deliver in terms of claimed throughput, some of its other features certainly hit the spot.
Power and networking ports – yup, that's it for connectivity
Streaming ahead
Like most Nas boxes, the Live comes equipped with a host of media streaming functions, individual user areas and an array of backup options (including Apple's Time Machine) all controlled through a slick web interface.
In these areas I cannot fault the My Book Live. Media streaming to any UPnP/DLNA or iTunes DAAP device is flawless and configuration is simple and straightforward, using the rather well polished web interface.
Also, as any good Nas box should be, the My Book Live includes remote access functionality. However, unlike most other Nas boxes, Western Digital does not let you choose which dynamic DNS service you wish to use.
Easy to configure... and knock over
In order to access your files, you must sign up for an account with MioNet, although the subscription is included in the price of the drive. However, users who run other services on their network through an existing dynamic DNS service are likely to be disappointed by this lack of basic functionality.
Western Digital's My Book Live isn't as fast as it should be, is likely to fall over and will frustrate you if you want remote access with your existing services. However, it is a perfectly functional media-streamer and is fairly compact too. This makes it ideal if you just want something basic to shove in a corner to manage your music and backups without too much thought. ®

The Comedy of Politics
Since Chevy Chase's acerbic satire of President Gerald Ford in 1976, "Saturday Night Live's" comics have played a defining role in the political life of America
(continued from page 5)
It was the first of many Palin jokes Fey delivered on "Saturday Night Live" in the fall of 2008. The impersonation seemed like a natural for the former "SNL" head writer and news anchor, who later told David Letterman on "Late Night with David Letterman," "She's got that crazy accent that's a little bit Fargo, a little bit Reese Witherspoon in Election. Not since Sling Blade has there been a voice like that, that anybody could do."
When Palin popped on to the national scene as a vice presidential candidate, her resemblance to Fey—and vice versa—made the comic impersonation a natural. When Fey showed up on "SNL" in September 2008 as the then-Alaska governor, it became a national sensation—and, some say, may have helped cost Palin and running mate John McCain the 2008 presidential election.
Or not—it depends on who you ask. But it once more brought the spotlight back to the veteran late-night comedy series, which kicks off its 37th season in October. It made "SNL" part of the national conversation, a player in national politics because of its sharp-edged take on current events—and not for the first time.
The phenomenon of "Saturday Night Live" affecting the national political scene stretches all the way back to its first season in 1975-1976, when Chevy Chase's impersonation of President Gerald Ford turned the show into a sensation—and may have hurt Ford's chances of being elected to a full term as president when he ran against Jimmy Carter in 1976.
"Well, I don't know how you would measure that. No newsman ever asked someone coming out of a voting booth whether their opinion was shaped by comedians," says Buck Henry, who hosted "Saturday Night Live" several times in its early years. "I helped write that first sketch that had Chevy playing Ford. I'd say that 'SNL's' focus on politicians helped, in certain cases, to whittle them down a notch."
William Horner, professor of political science at the University of Missouri, takes it further. Horner, who is finishing a book called The First Saturday Night: "Saturday Night Live" and the Presidential Election of 1976, suggests that Chase, who played Ford as a stumbling bumbler out of touch with reality, created a Ford persona that struck a chord and stuck with the American public.
"In his autobiography, Ron Nessen [Ford's press secretary, who actually hosted an episode of "SNL" in April 1976] makes the argument that 'SNL' cost Ford the election," Horner says. "You could say that Chase changed people's impression of Ford. My feeling is that it made a difference. Ford did lose New York. If he'd won New York, he'd have won the election."
And the McCain-Palin ticket? Both Republicans actually turned up on "Saturday Night Live" in person during that fall 2008 election season. It may have been an attempt at conveying that they were hip enough to be in on the joke—or perhaps to inoculate themselves against further lampooning.
"When Sarah Palin went on, it showed the public she could take a joke about herself," maintains Dan Aykroyd, a member of the original "SNL" cast when it went on the air in 1975. "It humanized her, in my view. It showed that she recognized the power of the show."
Bruce Fretts, articles editor for TV Guide Magazine, argues the opposite—that, once Tina Fey did her Palin impersonation, even a Palin appearance on the show couldn't mitigate the effect that the satire had on the public perception of the controversial Republican candidate.
"That was what everyone was talking about for the major portion of the election cycle," Fretts says. "There were real teeth in their Palin skits. It had impact because it defined her as a laughingstock. They stripped away her 'Aw, shucks' persona and made her look like a phony and a dunce. People had suspicions about her and you were seeing those reflected back and reinforced by the sketches."
Horner argues that, in fact, "SNL" changed the dynamic of the press coverage of the Democratic primaries that same year. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton did drop in for guest appearances during the primaries—but an earlier "SNL" skit, about press moderators at Democratic debates fawning over Obama while ignoring Clinton, became a story in itself.
"And then Hillary Clinton went on the show herself," Horner says. "The people who do go on have an agenda. They think they're co-opting the show."
"And then Hillary Clinton went on the show herself," Horner says. "The people who do go on have an agenda. They think they're co-opting the show."
Tom Shales, Pulitzer Prize-winning former Washington Post TV critic and coauthor of Live From New York: An Uncensored History of 'Saturday Night Live', observes that Jim Downey, a longtime writer of political humor on "SNL," always discourages allowing the real politicians on the show.
"Downey expressed displeasure in our book about inviting actual newsmakers on," Shales says. "He thought it defanged and diluted the impact of the satire. How can you lampoon them and be ruthless when you're standing next to the actual person?"
As the 2012 presidential election approaches, it's not hard to envision "SNL's" stellar current cast—fresh off a summer of movie hits for Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis—sharpening its knives for the already-underway 2012 primary tussle.
"I love the amazing videos they do," says Jim Belushi, a cast member from 1983-1985. "From what I've seen, this current cast is great."
With a strong cast that isn't afraid to take on contemporary politicians and celebrities—everyone from Rep. John Boehner and President Barack Obama to Miley Cyrus and Charlie Sheen—it's less a question of who they'll take the satirical blade to than what will escape their edgy comedic treatment.
It's not far-fetched to imagine that political advisers are devising strategies to deal with what has become a mainstream vein of political satire. Besides "Saturday Night Live" on NBC, two Comedy Central shows—"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" with Stephen Colbert—have become important players in translating current events into comedy.
A poll by Pew Research Center for People and the Press in 2008 showed that an increasing number of 18-to-29-year-old voters got their political news from just such shows. As Downey told Shales in Live From New York: "Someone did a survey of college students on where they got their political views and information—and television comedy was number one. During the 2000 election, after the first debate followed up by the first debate sketch…I kept hearing reports from people that they [had seen the sketch rebroadcast] on CNN or there was something on the 'Today' show…And then it became a standard thing. Nowadays they practically have a regular slot."
Shales says, "I hope we haven't reached the point where candidates are figuring out how to exploit 'Saturday Night Live' and the other shows. But we're probably at the point where it's part of the overall media strategy."
Which, if it were true, would be further indication of just how far "Saturday Night Live" has come since it went on the air more than three decades ago.
When it started, "Saturday Night Live" was, for all practical purposes, an experiment: an off-the-radar show airing late on a weekend night in a slot which the network had previously devoted to reruns of "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. Carson's show was a cash-cow for the network, so when Carson expressed displeasure at the use of repeats (which he felt devalued both the live show and the eventual resale value of reruns), the network turned to a young executive named Dick Ebersol, a former protégé of Roone Arledge.
Ebersol, in turn, hired an unknown Canadian comedy writer-performer named Lorne Michaels, who had written for "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" and for Lily Tomlin's network comedy specials. Their mandate: to create a new comedy show and perhaps shake up the late-night time slot on weekends.
"Lorne told me he had been approached to do a weekend replacement show for 'The Tonight Show' and it would be a cross between 'Monty Python' and '60 Minutes,' " Laraine Newman, a member of the original cast, told Shales in his book, Live From New York. "And I thought, I'd watch that."
Filmmaker-comedian Albert Brooks recalls being approached by Ebersol and Michaels in the early stages of development about the possibility of being the show's permanent host.
"They didn't know what to do and, at one point, they talked about it being 'The Albert Brooks Show,' " Brooks says. "But I didn't want to move to New York and do a live show."
Comedian Robert Klein, who hosted the fifth episode of the first season, encountered Michaels in the office of the agents they shared and heard early on about his idea for a live comedy sketch show.
"I remember having a talk with Lorne and saying that he'd be better off taping it," Klein says with a laugh. "He said, no, there was a spontaneity and excitement to doing it live. He turned out to be right.
"Look at it this way," Klein continues, "the network hadn't done a live show like this since 'Howdy Doody' in 1953. Everyone was on tape. Live was for ballgames."
There is an ocean of difference between how "Saturday Night Live" is seen today and how it was perceived when it first went on the air in 1975 (called simply "Saturday Night," because the late Howard Cosell was hosting a primetime variety show on ABC called "Saturday Night Live").
"When we went on the air, it was a groundbreaking satirical show that revived live television," Aykroyd says. "It had the spirit of Sid Caesar and 'Your Show of Shows.' Today, it remains probably the most intelligent, well-executed live satirical variety show on the air."
Notes Fretts, "Nobody had done that kind of humor on TV, even in that time slot. This was revolutionary sketch comedy aimed at an alternative audience."
"Comedy like that hadn't been seen by that generation," says Brooks, who made short films that were broadcast during "SNL's" first season. "There were a lot of shows, from 'Your Show of Shows' on, that did sketches. But 'SNL' was doing it weekly, dealing with the news and trying to make it as updated as you could, up to two hours before it went on, and that was unusual."
"When it started, I was in high school and we'd wait for it with bated breath every week," says Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for TV and Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
Once the upstart, "SNL" has become an institution after 36 seasons on the air. Where it once was seen as a rogue enterprise in the late-night corridor—staffed with the first generation of performers who had actually grown up watching TV—at this point it arguably is on its third or even fourth generation of fans.

Photo Gallery: Emily Walker's Charming Home
Get small-space renovation ideas.
The symmetrical home is elevated by an equally balanced garden.
This home's soft grey palette creates a calm, neutral canvas for a gutsy bright yellow door. To keep the focus on the eye-catching entrance, the surrounding garden was kept simple and green. Perennials like sandcherry and "Limelight" hydrangeas add depth and variation, and better integrate the house to the street. Beds of hostas and impatiens edge either side of the walkway and draw the eye toward a welcoming seagrass stair runner.
Watch a video tour of this home, plus for more design and decorating ideas, browse our Quick Home Makeover Tips photo gallery.
A refined sofa, chair and side table let fabric and colour take centre stage in this room.
Framed Donghia fabric becomes artwork, adding instant drama to this living space. The occasional chair was a curbside find; new legs and upholstery in a fuchsia damask print give it a trendy new life.
To watch Michael Penney and Joel Bray demonstrate framing fabric, watch Styling Tricks: Instant Art.
See our photo gallery for more fast decorating fixes.
With the help of Emily's contractor father, the kitchen was reconfigured to create a galley-style workspace.
Old, dated cabinets were refreshed with paint and new hardware. A restaurant-style faucet adds sparkle and modern edge to the small but cheerful space. Functional open shelving also keeps the look crisp and contemporary.
Refinished chairs, a trestle-style dining table and a dramatic-yet-affordable overhead light give this dining room real style.
Stacey Smithers, the H&H Style Editor who helped with this redesign, suggested the deep plum transitional wall as an unexpected touch. For a similar look, try Benjamin Moore's Nightfall (CC-38).
Get tips on making a photo art wall, like the one pictured.
A charcoal love seat, Moorish patterned rug and bright yellow painted desk give this small room a contemporary look.
Striped wallpaper helps move the eye up and across the ceiling, making this tiny den appear larger. The thrift store lamp base (with a Jonathan Adler flavour) looks like a million bucks thanks to a coat of white spray paint.

Bold colours and graphic prints add punch to a modern den.
The view from the living room to the den gets a boost from a vintage desk, spraypainted yellow. A lemon-and-blue coloured vase from Teatro Verde, meanwhile, visually ties the two rooms together.
A graphic rug and striking side tables make this bedroom design look fresh.
Predominantly white bedding and two oversized, white vintage lamps pop against a boldly painted charcoal wall. Leaving the ceiling white allows the accent wall and accessories to take centre stage.

Graphic wallpaper and vintage posters add character to a small space.
This bathroom lacks size but not drama. Yellow patterned wallpaper and vintage movie posters make it feel youthful and special, and a simple white sink and mirror don't compete with all the colour.

From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) comes this infographic, "The New (Ab)Normal," showing how much average portion sizes for burgers, fries, and soda have increased since the 1950s. From the chart:
Portion sizes have been growing. So have we. The average restaurant meal today is more than four times larger than in the 1950s. And adults are, on average, 26 pounds heavier. If we want to eat heathy, there are things we can do for ourselves and our community. Order the smaller meals on the menu, split a meal with a friend, or, eat half and take the rest home. We can also ask the managers at our favorite restaurants to offer smaller meals.
Do you wish today's portion sizes were smaller?
Update (5/24/12): I received this list of sources for the infographic from a CDC representative:

Joba values experiences, time spent with Yankees
NEW YORK -- While the Yankees took batting practice prior to Monday's game, Tigers right-hander Joba Chamberlain was on the field exchanging laughs and hugs while reconnecting with some of his old teammates.
Chamberlain returned to Yankee Stadium for the first time since signing with the Tigers last offseason, and did not even know where to find the visitors' clubhouse. The Yankees drafted Chamberlain in the first round of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft, and Chamberlain spent parts of seven seasons in New York.
There were highs -- as a rookie setup man in 2007, he posted a 0.38 ERA in 19 appearances -- and by the end, there were injuries and lows, an ERA higher than 4.00 in both 2012 and '13. Because of that, Chamberlain was not sure how fans would react when he makes his first appearance in a game as a visitor.
"I don't know," Chamberlain said. "It's going to be interesting. I gave them everything I had. I had some great years, I had some terrible years."
He later added about his time as a Yankee: "It wasn't all easy, I'd be lying if I didn't say I got frustrated at times, but in the end, it made me a better person, it made me a better baseball player.
"I used all those things my first seven years, and this offseason, to kind of figure out how I can make myself better. Without those experiences and without those opportunities, I don't think I have the year I'm having this year."
And Chamberlain is enjoying a career renaissance this season with the Tigers. Entering Monday, he had a 3.02 ERA in 49 appearances, primarily as the Tigers' setup man.
Chamberlain was in a jovial mood while speaking to reporters, especially on the topic of his bushy beard, something he could not grow in New York per Yankees team policy.
"I'm extremely lazy and don't like to shave, so I just said, 'Forget it,'" Chamberlain said. "I was just going to do it for Spring Training, and then didn't shave one day. Seven months later, still haven't shaved."

You need a tripod and a digital camera with a night setting.
Set up the tripod and ask the players to run toward the camera. The camera shutter will stay open a long time in order to gather enough light for the photo. The flashlights appear as swirling lines on the photo.
Especially on school days where the kids might not have moved their bodies very much, a 15-30 minute game of flashlight tag before bed can get squeeze in some outdoor time in a busy day.
And in the spring, it might transform into a frog observation night!

Burt's Bees Lifeguard's Choice Lip Balm Reviews
Lifeguard indeed!This balm is only SORT OF good if you don't mind having white lips. Even if you're ok with the white (for the sake of sun protection), the texture is very, very strange. I wore it once and never again! — 5 years, 5 months agotallredamanda | 433 reviews
Definately for lifeguardsThis lip balm turned my lips white and chalky feeling. Leave this for the lifeguards and try the pom one. — 7 years, 9 months agoTBjunkie | 692 reviews
BooI liked this for about 2 seconds. I applied it without a mirror. Big mistake! I found my lips were WHITE! I don't recommend this for anyone. Skip it! — 5 years, 8 months agosweettpea29 | 280 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
funny story about this...I bought this on a whim because I wanted a product to protect my lips in sun. I saw that it says lifeguard so I'm thinking "ok this is something a lifeguard wears" So I buy it and put it on. I'm a nanny at the time so I'm walking alot with the kids. We walk home with the stroller and as I'm walking I'm not thinking anything of my lips. The lip balm felt great! I get home and look in the mirror and...read more notice white all over my mouth and past my lips (I wanted to really protect my lips) I couldn't believe the horrific sight so I just laughed and laughed. Needless to say I returned the product to buy something clear! — 6 years, 8 months agopure.life | 331 reviews
not worth itI usually love Burt's Bees lip balms but this one I didn't care for. The only thing i like is the taste of mint. I hate how it makes my lips WHITE. Plus it didn't do much for the chapping. — 9 years, 2 months agoMiss_Vicki | 271 reviews
The WorstMy mother got me this balm a few years ago. It went on chalky white and had a hard waxy feel. Made lips dry. And it stunk. — 4 years, 8 months agotofumushaboom | 44 reviews
White LipsThis WORKS like any other burts bees product, BUT, it does make your lips COMPLETELY white. When I put it on and they were white I was hoping I could cover some of the 'whiteness' with a darker lipgloss. Even a darker lipgloss couldn't mask the balm and I just had to take the gloss and balm completely off. To boot, the balm also has a chalky feel and sort of makes your lips feel dry. — 5 years agokatypsu620 | 5 reviews
Feels nice but it's not pretty...If you're wanting a white lipstick, this is a perfect solution. If not...probably pass on this. It does feel nice and keep your lips protected though. It might work under another lip color or if you were going skiing and would have your mouth covered with a scarf or something. — 5 years, 4 months agoKayArrEff | 29 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
BURT'BEES LIFEGUARD LIP BALMYes your lips may turn white if you put too much on but when you use it overnight your lips will thank you. Miy lips are dry from some lipsticks and after night an ini the morning my lips are so soft and good. Thanks Burt! — 5 years, 5 months agogoldie95 | 1 reviews
Yeah...I'm a Burt's Bees junkie. Ask anyone! I love Burt's Bees. So I went to Florida and forgot all of my lip balm back home and my lips aren't used to being in the sun since I live in the Midwest. I bought this at the local drugstore and I go home and put it on. It feels great and it smells minty, so I just head out to the beach without really looking at myself in the mirror. I go in the water for a li...read morettle bit, and a lot of my wet hair got onto my cheeks and nose and almost in my eyes. I go back onto the beach and wipe off my face with my blue towel and see white gunk all over my towel where my lips were. When I go home, I put the lip balm on and see that it leaves nasty white residue all over my lips. Sorry for the long story, but that's about it. Not a quality buy. — 5 years, 5 months agolovemuffin | 66 reviews

Spring Break at the BeachFebruary 11th, 2013 by archcapeinn
Winter is nearly over and springtime is just around the corner! Most of us have spent the last few months indoors and as the warmer weather returns, we encourage you to take to the outdoors!
Pet Friendly Lodging on the Oregon Coast
For us, the return of Spring means we are bringing our dogs back out to the beach and the park. If you are also a dog owner (or dog parent, as they say these days) our Cannon Beach B&B is pet friendly and the perfect place for you and your pooch to spend a spring break! We have three pet-friendly rooms; each has tiled floors and special bedding for your furry friend. Pet friendly rooms also have their own exterior, ground-floor entrance, so that pets can easily come and go from the comfort of your room.
Birding around Cannon Beach
If you're not a dog person, perhaps something less intruding like birding interests you. There are lots of great places to see birds around the coast, especially sea birds, of course. Here are some of the spots we think are best:
South Jetty, Columbia River. Parking lot C has a viewing tower (use binoculars or spotting scope) where you can witness sea birds, some of the river estuary and grassy hummocks, hunting grounds for raptors and home to sparrows. Parking lot D has viewing bunker overlooking tidal flats where you can see many kinds of ducks and shorebirds.
Ecola State Park. From the viewpoint: pelagic and shore birds. Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons nest in the park and can often be seen hunting sea birds here. You cal get a good view of Bird Rocks with a scope.
Bird Rocks. Speaking of Bird Rocks…this is the nesting site for approximately 28,000 Common Murres each year. When the birds are nesting it looks like the rocks have a flattop haircut!
We know about lots of other great ways for you to spend your spring break holiday – just ask!

Topic: Unbelievable PET Scan Results
We received my husband's PET scan results yesterday and we, and his doctors, are amazed. The PET shows NO CANCER in his liver or abdomen! Today, his oncologist told him she believes his tumor is dead and atrophied with the left lobe of his liver. There are no other visible tumors in his body! Both the oncologist and our primary care physician are dumbfounded and can't explain what has happened.
A little history--Dan was diagnosed with cc in August, 2005. Resection was attempted, but stopped after finding "abdominal studding" --it had spread to his gallbladder, abdomen, and diaphram. He began treatments with Xeloda and Gemzar in October 2005 and has continued these treatments, except for interruptions because of infections, fluid accumulation and blood clots. At the time of diagnosis, his tumor measured 6.1 cm. Subsequent CT scans showed the disease had stabilized and in early August 2006 the CT showed the tumor had decreased to 3 cm. The PET scan taken last week shows no active tumors and, like I said above, the oncologist believes the tumor is dead.
We still have a large hurdle ahead of us. The PET did show some "hypermetabolism" in the pericardial area--the sac surrounding the heart. We know that this cancer can metasticize to this area, but the oncologist does not believe at this time that it is cancer. She said it is probably fluid accumulation from the large cyst Dan has on his liver (he's had this cyst since before diagnosis). She's ordered an echocardiogram to try and determine what this may be.
Whatever the outcome, we feel we have been given a miracle and we thank God for the gift we have been given. Seven months ago, our oncologist suggested we call hospice and we even had a hospice volunteer at our home to get us to "sign up" for hospice care. Dan just wasn't ready to give up so we decided to continue the chemo and keep fighting.
We are cautious and know this disease doesn't let go. You can never let down your guard and we realize it could all change over night. But, after 13 months to be told his tumor has died and that there is no sign of cancer in his abdomen--it is more than we could have ever hoped for.
We will follow through with the echocardiogram and, if it is clear (please pray it is), we are going to USC to see Dr. Lentz to ask what Dan needs to do. He was suggesting resection when we met with him last and it we are excited to learn if he believes that this is still an option.
No matter---we are ecstatic and so very thankful. No matter what happens, we thank God for today and the wonderful news we've been given. We can't ask for more!

Here are screenshots of the two pages of music creation Apps I currently have installed on my iPad. The apps are: Aeolian Harp, audio palette, bleep!BOX, Beat Counter, Bebot, DopplerPad, Dropophone, Everyday Looper, FunkBox, iElectribe, ImproVox, iSample, iStylophone, iVoxel, Loopseque, Jasuto, Magic Piano, Melodica, MorphWiz, nanoloop, NanoStudio, NESynth, NNN MONO, Radarhead, sampletoy, SongMaker, SoundPrism, Soundrop, SoundyThingy, synthPond, Tiction AV, technoBox, TOPLAPapp, TweakyBeat and VoiceKeyboard.
Some of the Apps are iPhone Apps but because of screen size are much more fun on the iPad. There are a few music creation iPhone apps I have that I didn't put on my iPad because they work fine on the smaller screen. Interesting the combined total price for all the Apps above if you bought them today is $137.74. I think that's pretty good for all the touch screen sounds and creativity you get.
"The iPad has two internal speakers that push mono sound through two small sealed channels to the three audio ports carved into the bottom-right of the unit. A volume switch is on the right side of the unit. A 3.5-mm TRS connector audio-out jack on the top-left corner of the device provides stereo sound for headphones with or without microphones and/or volume controls. The iPad also contains a microphone that can be used for voice recording." – Wikipedia
If you have any questions about any of these or want my own review just let me know.

ORLANDO, Fla. - An administrative law judge has ruled that SeaWorld has made a good faith effort to protect its trainers from the dangers posed by working with killer whales.
The judge also indicated that SeaWorld has more expertise than the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in determining how close trainers can safely work alongside killer whales. However, OSHA investigators still have concerns the marine park is jeopardizing the safety of its employees.
Following the 2010 death of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was drowned by a killer whale named Tilikum, OSHA issued citations against SeaWorld and ordered the company to take steps to better protect its employees. Last summer, Judge Kenneth Welsch ordered the company to pay a $12,000 fine and abate the hazards. OSHA recommended that trainers be kept behind barriers or remain a safe distance away from killer whales during show performances.
SeaWorld immediately notified OSHA that it could not implement the safety improvements by the judge's July 27, 2012 deadline and requested a 6 month extension. As the company awaited a court ruling on the extension, OSHA conducted a re-inspection of Shamu Stadium at SeaWorld in October 2012. The agency later found SeaWorld to be in repeat violation and issued an additional $38,500 fine.
In April 2013, SeaWorld took OSHA to court to retroactively seek the 6 month extension. Company officials testified that they had developed and implemented 26 new safety protocols to protect killer whale trainers. Under SeaWorld's new rules, trainers must remain 18 inches from the edge of the killer whale pool when standing and 3 feet when kneeling. Trainers may stand alongside and touch the whales as long as they approach the animal from the side near its blowhole, avoiding the head and tail that could knock the employee down, according to SeaWorld officials. Company officials said they consulted with marine mammal experts at the Georgia Aquarium and Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas to set the new rules, a time-consuming process they claim required a deadline extension.
Last week, Judge Welsch retroactively granted SeaWorld's request for an extension. "It is determined SeaWorld made a good faith effort to comply with the abatement requirements of the citation," wrote Welsch. "It continued its suspension of waterwork and implemented minimum distance requirements. It added security and emergency response equipment. It also consulted independent experts in order to get their opinions on appropriate abatement measures."
Judge Welsch noted that neither himself nor OSHA has expertise in training killer whales. "The determination of what constitutes a safe minimum distance is best left to experts in the training and behaviors of captive killer whales," ruled Welsch.
Although the judge agrees that OSHA's recommendations that trainers be kept a safe distance from whales or behind barriers are feasible ways to protect employees, his ruling acknowledges that "SeaWorld is not limited to only those abatement methods. The company may implement another method or methods of abatement designed to protect trainers from struck-by and drowning hazards."
During the April court hearing, attorneys representing OSHA argued that SeaWorld's new safety procedures still expose trainers to injury or death. OSHA has the authority to conduct a future re-inspection of SeaWorld and issue more citations if it finds the company is still jeopardizing employee safety, according to court testimony.
An OSHA spokesman has not returned phone calls seeking comment on the agency's future plans. It is unclear whether OSHA's recent citation and fine stemming from their October 2012 re-inspection of Shamu Stadium will now be thrown out, since the judge has ruled SeaWorld was no longer required to be in compliance at that time.
"We are encouraged by Administrative Law Judge Ken S. Welsch's decision last week in our favor," said SeaWorld spokesman Fred Jacobs. "In particular, Judge Welsch noted that SeaWorld - 'a world leader in the training of killer whales' - is not limited to the abatements proposed by OSHA in those citations if the company can demonstrate that other protective measures are as or more effective. We have repeatedly stressed that the safety of staff and guests and the welfare of animals are our highest priorities."
SeaWorld is appealing its original OSHA citations and fines issued after Brancheau's death. The company recently hired Washington D.C. attorney Eugene Scalia, the son of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Who is the Pacers alltime leader in triple doubles?
Wouldn't be surprised if it's Jamal Tinsley.
It's Jackson, he has 18 in his career, he is 11th all time.
broadcast said Detlef I think
Detlef with 6, Vern and Jax with 5 each as Pacers.
I guessed Rajah, I kind of think they didn't have all the ABA stats
This is why I'm always so frustrated that Detlef gets forgotten. 2 time 6th man winner and 6 trip-dubs as a Pacer, and when he was traded he was the current Pacers all-star. It was his first and at the time Reggie had only been once a few years prior in his great 25 ppg season. By the time Det was traded he was the most "all-star" guy they had and Reggie had yet to put up those fantastic playoff games.
And yet people remember Person, Smits, Dale, Tony, Jax, McKey and maybe even Vern and Kellogg more than they remember Detlef. Bizarre. He's like a reverse Hansbrough.
They remember those players, except Person, because they were the ones who were the major players on the team when the team was winning. They remember Person for his nickname, well maybe that is the only reason I can think of. I wasn't even born when he was drafted so I have no real idea why.

See this is what is frustrating. A fan like you WOULD remember him had you been old enough. And what I'm saying is that there were so few good fans back then that no one noticed the team, primarily because even though Bob Hill had a loaded roster he couldn't get them over .500
People give Brown credit, and he does deserve credit for being better than Hill. But the whole McKey for Det gave them what they need angle is way overblown. It made as much sense as trading Jax for Rose. After all Jax was the offensive player and Rose could play defense but wasn't the overall offensive facilitator that Jax was.
The Det trade was identical to the Jax trade - Larry Brown just wanting to make another fickle move. Brown did help the team more than Hill did, but getting Tony from Europe for free, signing Bryon Scott and taking over a team that already had Workman, Reggie, Dale and Rik didn't exactly hurt. Larry or any other decent coach could win 45-50 games with Detlef on that roster instead of McKey.
But because he got traded just before the winning brought in the casual fans, no one remembers him except me and ChicagoJ. I think J and I are the most die-hard 90-93 era fans around here. I wish we could get more games from that era. I'd love to see one of the Detlef trip-dubs again.

I wasn't a great fan at the time but I was a Detlef fan. Liked him at Dallas and in college. Thought he was the most under used, and most wasted player in Dallas. He came here and became what most of his early fans thought he could be, although he never got to play point guard, as I recall.
You guys aren't the only ones. I bought a Supersonics jersey because of Detlef and a year later they went to the finals.
Only two Triple Doubles involving blocked shots in franchise history. O'Neal and Hibbert.
And Det was not a typical Euro, he was a pretty tough guy despite being primarily an offensive player. He had the epic fight with Ewing in the playoffs that led to both being ejected and a Pacers win.
I forgot that JO had a blocks trip dub.
I gotta say it was pretty cool to be at a game where 2 different great stat moments were going on. It was clear that Roy was going to have a shot at 10 blocks and that Paul was pushing near the 3PM mark for both the Pacers and the NBA. One of those nights were you start hitting the Google on your phone trying to find the benchmark levels.
Detlef was/is my favorite Pacers player of all time. I was heartbroken over that trade.
I never forgot about "Det the threat"....... I enjoyed his game
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
Does anyone remember when he was in college, and his team was playing at Duke? He had missed a free throw badly, and the Cameron Crazies started chanting "air-ball" in German! Clever!
Artest almost had a quadriple double back on Easter day (I forget what year) at Conseco against the Heat. steals, assists, points and rebounds. although I have a vague memory he might have had 5 or 6 turnovers also.
I think I vaguely remember that game. That is something I could easily see Paul George doing sometime in the future, and if Hibbert ever learns how to pass out of a double team he could too with blocks instead of steals.
24 pts, 9 boards, 9 assists, 8 steals.
Only 2 turnovers.
I was so mad at that trade, it almost ended my time as a Pacer fan. The company I worked for was a sponser and I could go to most games for free. I gave up the Pacers for almost a year and wouldn't go to any games. I finally came around but I never liked McKey as much as Det.

Okay, so eggplant's not in peak season right now. But it's one of those vegetables that's possible to get year-round, and lends itself to saucy smothers and smoky flavors and belly-warming stews that are perfect for winter.
And it's one of those culinary chameleons that can take on the flavors of just about any cuisine. Italian? Bring on the mozzarella. Japanese? Hello, miso. Indian? Israeli? Sichuan? All good. The humble eggplant has an awful lot of stamps in its passport.
So let's check out some of our favorite eggplant dishes in New York, from Azerbaijani (Caucasus Garden in Sheepshead Bay) to Zenkichi (the Japanese restaurant in Williamsburg).

We may be halfway through the cold season, but that doesn't mean your skincare regime has to slip into hibernation. Lisa Haynes reveals some handy techniques to help you battle the elements.
By Lisa Haynes The holiday's over and all that's left is an empty wallet and bulging tummy. If you've got a bad case of the January blues, it's likely that your skin has too.
The party season has taken its toll, it's the bleak midwinter and, to add to your skin's woes, the central heating is blasting out.
Book your face and body in for some New Year TLC that will keep your skin in great condition all the way through to spring.
Glacial glow Winter frosts bring more than just a rosy glow to your cheeks. Think Rudolph-style red nose, uncomfortable dryness and flaking skin.
When the weather is really biting cold, a moisturiser may not be enough.
"Apply a serum beneath your daily moisturiser to give dull winter complexions an extra boost of hydration," advises Bao-Tam Phan, pharmacist and Eau Thermale Avene spokesperson.
"It's also important to keep skin hydrated during the winter months by ensuring you drink water regularly."
When your skin is really tight, apply a mask overnight for an intensive treatment.
If you can't resist cranking up the heating, leave a bowl of water close to the radiator to put water back into the atmosphere, or snuggle up with a hot water bottle instead.
Stinging skin After a day shivering in the cold, a piping hot bath can feel like heaven but the contrast in temperatures can be hellish for your skin.
For a more skin-friendly wash, go easy on the hot tap.
"As nice as a long soak feels in freezing temperatures, the hot soapy water strips away the natural oils, making dry skin worse," explains Steve Riley, pharmacist and Care spokesperson.
"Use lukewarm water instead of hot when having baths or showers, and always make sure you carefully pat yourself dry instead of rubbing."
Your skin is at its most vulnerable straight after lathering up so apply a nourishing body lotion right away to maximise hydration levels. Try a sensitive formulation if you're prone to irritation.
Chilly limbs Tucked away under five layers of clothing, it's easy to forget about your arms and legs.
"Skin that has been concealed away for months can become dry, dull and lacklustre," says Paul Banwell, skin health expert.
"The slowdown in cell renewal during the winter means that exfoliation is essential to bring it back to life."
Dry skin means that you have dry cell build-up. Exfoliate regularly to sweep away the dead cells and create the perfect smooth base for deep moisturisation.
Aim to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week - it might feel like a chore now but you'll be rewarded with fresh, radiant skin come spring.
Frosty fingers Unless you're a market trader, ditch the fingerless gloves and give your digits a fighting chance by wearing protective gloves or mittens on cold, windy days.
The skin on your hands has fewer oil glands than other parts of the body, which can lead to dry, chapped hands in winter.
"Being constantly exposed to the elements, hands are particularly susceptible to dryness in cold, windy weather," explains Andrew Saynor, Dove technical expert.
"Carry hand cream with you in your bag for extra nourishment."
If your nails are unusually dry and brittle, it's because talons can also be affected by a drop in temperature. Ensure you don't forget to rub hand lotion into your nails and nail beds to keep them soft.
Winter layering Just as we wouldn't leave the house without layering clothes to protect against the elements, the same should apply to our winter skincare regime. Try adopting these skin insulating tips: :: Central heating may keep you toasty but the dry atmosphere can play havoc with your skin. Aim to apply moisturiser daily in the morning to quench dry skin.
:: Skin regeneration peaks when you're fast asleep so apply a layer of intensive moisturiser or body butter before bed for overnight nourishment.
:: Give bed socks a soothing update by applying foot cream generously before bed. Don't rub in and wear cotton socks overnight to soften your tootsies by morning.
:: Valentine's Day isn't far away so avoid chapped lips and keep them primed for pouting by carrying a repairing lip balm containing shea or cocoa butter with you.
:: The sun might be missing but you still need the protection of an SPF. Try a clever UV protector with skin brightening properties to cheat a winter glow.
Tried & tested Lisa Haynes lifts her January blues frown with an uplifting facial.
There are facials that send you to sleep and then there are Nichola Joss facials. With an A-list clientele including Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow, the celebrity beauty therapist is celebrated for her miraculous lymphatic drainage massage facials and now she's bought her in-demand expertise to Sanctuary Spa. Joss has developed the Active Reverse Facial and trained other therapists with her magic moves, but I get to experience the treatment from the lady herself. It's been less than a minute and Joss has already identified where I have 'blockages', just under my eyes and around my jaw. This isn't just about skin, there is also an interest in my teeth alignment and strange clicky jaw as her therapeutic fingers work deeply through my facial contours. The treatment is a three-step massage, starting with a deep facial massage to relax the muscles and mind. Next, Joss uses lifting techniques, which feels like a mini workout for my face. Although the movements are firm, I don't feel any discomfort and usually tense areas were highlighted by Joss before I'd even felt them! The facial finale is the lymphatic drainage, which is like a detox for my skin, clearing out the blockages, boosting the circulation and waking up lazy muscles to instantly lift my face. The facial includes the application of Sanctuary Spa's warming Active Reverse 30 Day Thermal Transformation Mask (£27.50) together with a nourishing Power Peptide Serum (£25) and Lipid Recovery Facial Oil (£22), so you can (attempt to) replicate the facial at home. I peer into my compact mirror afterwards, which reveals a dewy, fresh-faced reflection that barely needs make-up - perfect for a New Year pick-me-up.
:: Sanctuary Spa Active Reverse Facial is £90 for 55 minutes.
:: Available at Sanctuary Spas in Covent Garden, Richmond, Cambridge and Bristol (0845 521 4567/www.sanctuary.com).
Buy it now Zaggora are in the business of toning with their technology-enhanced activewear and best-selling 'Hotpants'. Now the brand has launched two new body-sculpting treatments to help women on their quest for enviable pins. Introducing Svelt Melt and Motion Lotion, both £35, designed to be used in conjunction with exercise (www.boots.com).
Beauty bulletin :: Mad men Forget 2013, women are harking back to the Fifties for an uber-groomed gent. Today's women believe the men of the 1950s were the best turned out, according to a recent survey by male grooming brand Scaramouche & Fandango. More than half (61%) of women believe the Fifties was the most desirable era for men and would like to see more coiffed Mad Men-style gents around today.
:: Body idol If you need any more inspiration to hit the gym in the New Year, Jessica Ennis has scooped another gong for Britain's 'perfect body idol'. The Olympic athlete, who was second in the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year contest, topped a national poll by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, beating other stars such as Beyonce and Kelly Brook with 65% of the votes. The study polled 2,103 British women to discover more about their body preferences and which celebrity they feel has the 'perfect' body.

What is a febrile seizure?
It's a convulsion caused by fever in a child between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. If your child has one of these seizures, he may roll his eyes, drool, or vomit. His body may twitch or jerk and his limbs may get stiff. His skin may appear a little darker than usual, and he may lose consciousness.
The seizure may last only a few seconds or 15 (very long) minutes. (If it lasts longer than three minutes, call 911.) Afterward, your child might seem a bit sleepy, or he might seem just fine.
In most cases, febrile seizures are harmless, but that doesn't make them any less terrifying for you while your child is having one.
Febrile seizures tend to happen in children with fevers that are higher than 102 degrees Fahrenheit, but they can happen at lower temperatures. They tend to occur during the first 24 hours of a fever, but not necessarily when a child's fever is peaking.
How common are febrile seizures?
Two to 4 percent of children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years will have a febrile seizure at some point. One-third of these children will have another one, and about half of those will have a third. Febrile seizures are most common between the ages of 12 and 18 months.
A child is more likely to have febrile seizures if either of his parents had them when they were young. Kids who have their first febrile seizure in their first year of life are the most likely to have another one. A child is also more likely to have a second seizure if his fever was low when he had his first one, or if the seizure occurred early on in his fever.
What should I do if my child has a febrile seizure?
Quickly place him on his side, away from hard objects. Gently turn his head to one side so he won't choke if he vomits. Loosen his clothing if it's constricting him. Make sure he doesn't have anything in his mouth, and don't put anything in his mouth while the seizure lasts.
Don't try to lower your child's fever during a seizure by giving him medication, putting him in cool water, or sponging him off.
Keep track of how long the seizure lasts. If it goes on for longer than three minutes, call 911. (Even if the seizure doesn't last very long, try to note the length of time so you can tell the doctor.) Also call 911 if your child has difficulty breathing, if he's choking, or if his skin turns blue.
Otherwise, wipe away any vomit and call the doctor after the seizure is over – no matter how short it was – if it's your child's first one. The doctor will probably want to examine him to make sure he doesn't have a serious infection or other problem that caused the fever. If your child is older than 6 months and has had seizures before, the doctor can give you guidance about when you should call if a seizure lasts less than three minutes.
The doctor may also recommend that you give your child a fever-reducer such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, or lukewarm sponge baths to bring down his fever. (Never give your child aspirin, which could cause Reyes syndrome, a rare but dangerous condition.)
If your child's just had a seizure of any length for the first time and you can't reach a doctor right away, call 911.

The views alone are worth a visit to Asiate restaurant inside the Mandarin Oriental New York. But once you're there, it's the Mountain Berry Iced Tea ($9) that you'll be talking about. It's the hotel's signature tea (a hot version is offered at the spa), a slightly tart, deep purple berry tea coupled with mint leaves and plenty of fresh blueberries. You'll taste a bit of ginger for heat, a fragrant linger of lemongrass, and those subtle sweet notes comes from honey. It's the type of iced tea I could drink by the gallon during summer, but till then, I'll be back often for my fix.

The first day of spring may have been more than a month ago, but it's hard to tell at the Glenwood Golf Course.
Usually scattered with duffers this time of year, the typically thriving course is empty. The course temporarily closed its doors April 19 to deal with several green and maintenance issues and doesn't plan to re-open until May 26.
The names of the two crew members who were killed in an April 17 train crash east of Emerson have been released by the Federal Railroad Administration.
The two crew members have been identified as Patricia Hyatt, 48, and Tom Anderson, 48, both of Creston. Hyatt and Anderson were both on the eastbound coal train that rear-ended a Burlington Northern Sante Fe maintenance train at approximately 7 a.m. Sunday, April 17.
Hyatt served as a conductor while Anderson was the train's engineer.
The Iowa Department of Transportation has released an updated timeline for the U.S. Highway 34 – Missouri River Bridge project that will link western Mills County with Sarpy County in eastern Nebraska.
The timeline calls for the $138 million project to be completed as early as the fall of 2013.
Another cold, damp night. Another Glenwood boys soccer win.
Coming off a dominating 6-0 victory over Atlantic on Monday the Rams traveled to Creston Thursday in the rain and cold and left with a 11-1 victory.
"It was about the same as Monday," said Glenwood coach Mike Artist. "Cold and damp against a very similar team I thought. They (Creston) are down quite a bit from last year and once they got a goal, we sort of bounced back and controlled it."
The Glenwood girls golf team defeated Red Oak 243 to 285 in a dual meet at the Glenwood Golf Course last Monday.
Bobi Jo Rockwell was the top medalist for the meet shooting a round of 50.
"We were without two of our starting line up as Chelsee Bird and Chloe Newman were both home sick," said Glenwood coach Kathy Konigsmark. "The rest of the team came through."
Freshman Madi Woodrum shot a 62 and Josie Lauridsen shot a 64 for Glenwood.
The Fremont-Mills boys ran away with the team title at the Stanton Invitational Track Meet last Monday.
Braving cold and rainy weather, the Knights racked up 176 points to the host Vikings' 113.
The East Mills boys posted a third-place finish with 102 points.
The Knights' Kevin Herrick took home a pair of golds with top finishes in the 400-meter hurdles and the 400-meter dash.
Carlie Cooper placed first in the 3,000-meters for Glenwood at the Sioux City Relays on Saturday at Morningside College.
On a cold and rainy day, the Rams competed without several of their athletes due to prom preparations for that evening in Glenwood. Despite missing some top runners, the Rams did put up some good performances at the meet.
Cooper's time of 11:48.27 won the 3000 meter run and teammate Morgan Naughton finished sixth.
The Glenwood girls tennis team improved its record to 2-0 on the season with a 7-2 victory over Atlantic in a Hawkeye 10 Conference dual last Tuesday.
Ana Van Scoy, Rachel Tucker, Chloe Newman, and Abee Stipe each claimed their second victories of the season.
Van Scoy was strong on first serves and played very aggressively at the net, said Ohm, which helped her beat the Trojans' No. 1 Liz Metheny, 10-6.
Despite being hit by what coach Mark Starner called the "prom bug" the Glenwood boys track team still managed four gold medals at the Sioux City Relays on Saturday.
"We had a lot of athletes leave the meet early to get back to prom," said Starner. "We ran things well despite the bitter cold and gusty head winds down the home stretch. It would have been interesting to see how many more athletes would have had the opportunity to stand on the awards stand had we not had a conflict with prom."
The Glenwood boys soccer team got their second straight Hawkeye 10 Conference shutout with a 1-0 victory over Kuemper Catholic on Thursday in Carroll.
The Rams' Tyler Jensen booted in a goal with :47 left in the game to seal the victory for Glenwood.
"It wasn't a sloppy game but it wasn't that pretty either," said Glenwood coach Mike Artist.
