New to MinGW? What you should first know
Are you new to Mingw? You know nothing about Unix? What is MSYS?
These are common questions for anyone starting out in the programming world. Reading this may help you.
Probably you reached here because you want a good and free compiler for Microsoft Windows.
And yes, here you have it. Don't get disturbed by so many technical subjects. By now, you don't need them.
Mingw uses the great GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). GCC was born in Unix world. Using it in Windows "as is" is not possible, because these Operating Systems (OS) differ in the way they manage data internally and externally. So many files from GCC must be adapted to be used in Windows. And this is what Mingw is for. Many thanks to all the people who donate this effort. Other approach is that from Cygwin: emulate Unix style. Cygwin emulates a POSIX layer and provides its own runtime libraries licensed as GNU GPL instead of working directly with runtime libraries already available on Windows or with less restrictive (non-GPL) licensing.
Download and extract
Because there are many things to use (compiler, linker, utils, API, etc.) you need to download several files:
|the compiler
|the Mingw Runtime system
|the Windows Application Programming Interface
|linker, profiling, windows resources, etc.
|which gathers all "things to do" to achieve your program
|a great debugger to look inside your app while it is running
The complete name for each file to download includes its version.
You can also download the MinGW-xxx.exe file, and let it download the rest, but probably it doesn't download the last version of each file. The new mingw-get intaller will improve this situation when it becomes available.
Files are compressed in Unix style: .tar.gz
Use an un-zip app (7-Zip is really good: www.7-zip.org) and extract all of it to your desired directory, usually c:\mingw. Caution: never install MinGW into any directory which includes spaces in its absolute path name.
Some sub-dirs are created. Some files may overwrite other ones. Usually they are license repeated files. No problem: just choose the newer over the older.
The basis
If you just learned to write some code and push the "run" icon you may get lost with so many new concepts. Well. Here's a bit of explanation:
You develop your app writing code and splitting it in some files. You also create icons. And perhaps new cursors.
- Each file you create (or re-use) must be analysed, understood, translated to machine-code and even optimized. That's work for the compiler.
- Your icons and cursors will be managed by the windows resources manager (winres.exe).
- All "translated units" (compiled) must be joined. Time for the linker.
- During execution, any app must communicate with OS (which is what really uses CPU, memory and other devices) using the Runtime system.
- To get the OS utilities (say a control, a dialogue, http services, etc.) API must be used.
You surely need special files with functions made by others: libraries. Typically these are the .dll files your app loads at runtime ("dynamic loading" or "shared linking"). But you can also make them part of your .exe file ("static linking"). You can find these special files (.a) in \lib dir.
By now (April 2010) your app will need the file mingwm10.dll. This file is for multi-threading and will not be statically linked into your .exe file. Multi-threading is an expert way of getting more from the CPU. It simulates (or uses) several cores working simultaneously.
All of this building process can be described in a file (say mybuild.file). And you can call it using mingw32-make.exe.
To run your app in a way you can pause it and look at some variables of your code (debugging), use gdb.
If you want to know where your app spends more time (profiling), use gprof. If you want to be alerted as to where to find an error in your code when a program you compiled with MinGW crashes, use a Just in Time debugger such as DrMingw.
Most of this utilities have "parameters" or "flags" or "command switches" when you invoke them. For example, you can ask gcc to generate code optimized for a special CPU, or tell it where to look for (include) other files. You can read gcc/cpp/gprof/etc. documentation on the web (i.e. http://gcc.gnu.org).
You call make (or each component, one by one) typing it in a command-box.
I'm sure you are asking "Good. But what about pushing the run button?"
For that you need an IDE (Integrated Development Environment). MinGW doesn't incorporate one. You can find many on the web. There are IDE's that include also compilers (as MS Visual Studio).
I recommend Code::Blocks (www.codeblocks.org). It's good and free. And it's built with MinGW :) If you also install MinGW, C::B can use it automagically, debugging included.
What is MSYS?
It is a Unix-like command line shell.
Unix has some utilities (configure, sed, grep, etc.) you can use in this "box".
Some people develop their apps preparing a make-file that only works well if it's invoked from a Unix shell.
If you want to check out other libraries commonly used by Open Source compiled using MinGW, especially those built in the MSYS environment, see the information on Libraries and Tools.

Japan is getting a new custom PS3, a limited Tales of Xillia one. This isn't the first limited PS3 for Japan. There have been others.
For example, Metal Gear Solid 4 got a "Gun Metal" PS3, while Yakuza got a yakuza-y one. Final Fantasy XIII got a white and pink job, and Gran Turismo 5 pulled up in a blue PS3.
There was even a "Cloud Black" PS3 to promote the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
Which one do you like best?

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice
1/2 cup extra light olive oil*
zest of 2 Meyer lemons
pinch salt
for the glaze:
1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
zest of 1 Meyer lemon
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a standard loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Set aside.
In a medium bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the egg, buttermilk, lemon juice, oil and zest. Slowly stream in the dry ingredients (while the mixer is running!) and mix to combine. Pour into prepared pan, bake 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean. Unmold to a wire rack and cool.
Whisk together the glaze ingredients. Drizzle over cake.
*I used Bertolli Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil but I bet there are other brands available too. It isn't lighter calorie-wise but it has a lighter olive taste and a lower smoke-point than regular olive oil. You can also use canola oil.

In the heart of south-west England, not far from the tourist-beloved Stonehenge is another superb example of our country's rich and varied heritage. Stourhead gardens in Wiltshire are among the best examples of English landscape gardening – a favourite mode for 18th-century gentry to show off. We went to take a look.
Our guide was Mike, a long-standing volunteer at Stourhead, a National Trust-owned property (and indeed, one of its most-visited). He led us along the lakeside path, pointing out views, unusual trees and telling us the history of the gardens. He warned us in advance – following the path around the lake is meant to evoke a journey similar to that of Aeneas's descent in to the underworld.
With the lake always at the centre of attention, paths wind through clusters of trees and shrubs for ever-changing vistas out across the water. Greek-style temples, frivolous monuments, grottoes and bridges provide focal points amidst the lush foliage.
Mike explained how in the early 1700s a certain young Henry Hoare II, upon returning to the estate fresh from the Grand Tour of Europe had visions of idealistic landscapes from paintings in his head. He set to work and it would take an incredible nearly 40 years to complete the scene. We went onwards and upwards to reach a circular temple called Apollo. Now here was a view. We could take in the whole lake and on the opposite shore the Pantheon – the largest of Stourhead's temples and fully equipped for lakeside gatherings with an underfloor-heated terrace.
To our pleasant surprise, Mike fished in his pocket for a jangle of keys and unlocked the door to Apollo. Inside this pleasingly cylindrical room, the eye soars up to see a golden Apollo himself peering down at us through his sunbeams. The temple is used as a wedding venue and it's easy to see why. Apollo and Pantheon were definitely built with many a warm evening's soiree in mind.
Fun fact
Stourhead gardens were used for filming in the movies Pride and Prejudice (2005) and Barry Lyndon (1975).
How to see Stourhead
For entry to the house and grounds: adult £13.20; child £6.60 (correct in February 2014).
Opening times
Stourhead is open all year but check the National Trust website for specific details as sometimes the house or certain areas of the grounds are closed.
Getting there
Nearest rail stations: Gillingham 6½ miles; Bruton 7 miles. Driving: Follow the brown signs off the A303. The property is on the B3092 from Frome. Thanks to VisitWiltshire, the National Trust at Stourhead and tour guide Mike for showing us around – to find out more about Stourhead, check out the VisitBritain LoveWall.

A urostomy is an opening in the abdomen created by a surgical procedure (a radical cystectomy) that allows urine to flow to the outside of the body where it can be collected into a bag. It is done when the bladder is
either not functioning or has to be removed.
Common reasons for a urostomy include having bladder cancer, a
spinal cord injury, or a birth defect such as spina bifida.

Stone Creek
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Kips Bay
- American (New), Bars
Since we don't have a living room of our own, we'll be spending a lot of time here thanks to the casual vibe, friendly staff and variety of shared plates.It's our belief that if guacamole, hummus and pico de gallo more commonly shared a place on menus around the world, we'd be living in much happier times. How do we know this? We ordered up this trio of multi-culturalness at Stone Creek Bar & Lounge in Murray Hill recently, and we're now convinced that world peace is merely a shared appetizer away.
Stone Creek's bar has the relaxed feel of walking into somebody's living room, which was the goal of industry vet Jon Pirozzi, whose restaurant resume includes the famous Cheers in Boston, among others. The low-ceilinged space consists of light cream walls, hardwood floors and a shiny copper bar top with a beautiful stone backslash that gives the space an airy, yet cozy feel. "We wanted to do all exposed stone walls," said Jon. "But this is an old building, and it's hard to get people to allow that." No matter, the mood is still set. Outside of the trio plate, they offer other international shareables including chicken satay, nachos, crispy calamari and baked brie. Plus, everything is made in-house, so the quality and freshness is a sure thing. Back behind the kitchen is the private events room, where neighborhood trivia night goes down every Wednesday. The space can also be reserved for private events, from bachelorette parties to business meetings. We wouldn't be surprised if delegates from the nearby U.N. came in for that trio plate.
Menu Highlights:
Guacamole, Hummus & Pico de Gallo plate, $10.95
Baked Brie, $11.95
Crispy Calamari, $9.95
Chicken Satay, $9.95
Monday - Friday, 4 p.m. to 4 a.m.
Saturday & Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 a.m.

Total Ankle Replacement: Marc's Story
There's nothing like revving up the engine of a vintage motorcycle for 57-year old Marc Defur. The sound, the smell, the feeling of riding the wide open road, it's no wonder why building and restoring these classics are his passion. But like these worn down roadsters, Marc was also feeling his own wear and tear and needed a tune-up. "All of a sudden it became very painful to walk. I started walking with a limp and it was painful to ride my motorcycle, I knew something wasn't right," explains Marc.
Marc was starting to experience severe ankle arthritis, a condition seen with age or prior trauma such as an ankle fracture or sprain. His arthritis was so severe, there was hardly any cartilage left in his ankle. "I was in extreme pain and my entire quality of life went down," he explains. After a couple years of feeling this extreme pain, Marc decided to go see his physician and was referred to orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Fran Faro at Swedish Medical Center. "Marc was the perfect candidate for a total ankle replacement. Ankle fusion is usually the standard procedure for this type of ankle injury but because of his age, having a total ankle replacement was the preferred choice," says Faro.
Marc's case would be the first total ankle replacement in the last decade to be performed at Swedish Medical Center. "This type of surgery was uncommon in the past but is now becoming more common because of the technology we have. On average there are about 3,000 procedures performed each year in the U.S.," explains Faro.
The total ankle procedure has been performed on patients since the 1970's. The new re-designed implants help patients have less pain, better range of motion and full function after surgery. "The recovery was so short. I was out of my walking cast and back on my motorcycle after two months," says Marc.
Marc's new ankle is expected to last 10 or more years. "It's a life saver; it gave me so much back in my life!"

Now that we have that under our belts we can address the multipolar
expansion of the vector potential intelligently. To begin with, we
will write the general solution for the vector potential in
terms of the multipolar expansion for the outgoing wave Green's
function defined above:
We can therefore simplify our notation by defining certain functions
of the radial variable:
Clearly and for , . At the origin the solution is completely regular and stationary. Outside the bounding sphere of the source distribution the solution behaves like a linear combination of outgoing spherical multipolar waves. From now on we will concentrate on the latter case, since it is the one relevant to the zones.

I´ve got a problem when I try to paint my clock which consists of a wheel and three pointers in the shapes of different flowers (pink, weird, rose). The wheel is drawn as I want. And the pPink (pink flower pointer) is also drawn as I want. The window is 400 * 400. As you see I don´t really understand how the g2d.translate() works (although, I got the first pointer right, and yes I´ve read the API but I don´t really get it). And I´ve also trouble making the pointers angle different.
Very thankful for an answer!
public void paint(Graphics g) { Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g; super.paint(g2d); ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("wheel.png")); back = i.getImage(); g.drawImage(back,50,50, null); g2d.translate( 200, 200); g2d.rotate(pPink.getAngle()*(3.1415/180)); g2d.drawImage(pPink.getImg(), -44 ,-140, null); g2d.translate( 200, 200); g2d.rotate(pRose.getAngle()*(3.1415/180)); g2d.drawImage(pRose.getImg(), -44 ,-140, null); g2d.translate( 200, 200); g2d.rotate(pWeird.getAngle()*(3.1415/180)); g2d.drawImage(pWeird.getImg(), -44 ,-140, null); }

1. Does the Matrix support girls that are two-sport athletes during the Spring AAU season?
The Matrix absolutely supports players that want to participate in two sports during the Spring AAU season. We know that spring is a busy time for other sports and so we work hard with the busy schedules of parents and players to enable girls to play for a Matrix AAU team so that they can improve their basketball skills while also participating in other sports as well.
As a general policy, a player should treat Matrix Basketball as a co-equal #1 priority with her other Spring sport. Every Matrix coach implements this policy in a different manner; consult with the coaches for your daughter's age group before or during tryouts for more details. Maintaining open lines of communication with your daughter's coach regarding potential practice/game conflicts with another spring sport throughout the season is the key to making the schedules work for all involved.
Questions 2 and 3 apply to all Matrix players, but may be of special interest to our two-sport players:
2. What are the attendance expectations for Matrix practices?
75% practice standard. The expectation is that players will make every effort to attend every Matrix practice. Each player should attend at least 75% of all team practices. For example, if you have softball practice and a basketball practice at the same time one day a week, you should miss the softball practice 50% of the time in order to meet the basketball practice standard. However, every Matrix coach makes every effort to schedule Matrix team practices to avoid as many direct conflicts with other sports as possible. Occasional absences for illness, injuries, or school/family conflicts are to be expected and are typically excused from this standard. But all players/parents should understand that any missed practice time may affect playing time in upcoming tournament games.
3. What are the attendance expectations for Matrix tournaments and other games?
The expectation is that Matrix AAU team players will make every effort to attend every tournament game; in general, a player should always attend a minimum of two games per tournament weekend. Typically, it is not a problem to miss a tournament game in order to attend a game for another spring sport. But the application of this standard is up to each individual coach, and may depend on the weekend/type of event. For example, if a team is participating in a Potomac Valley AAU District tournament, coaches expect attendance at District tournament games to be a top priority. For older teams, attendance at key college exposure events is a higher priority than certain local tune-up events. But again, all players/parents should understand that any missed game time may affect playing time in upcoming tournament games.

Companies that use the Business, Education and Government editions of Google Apps will now be able to get phone and email support for issues related to the Chrome browser.
Customers can now get technical help on issues such as browser installation, operation, security, policy settings and Apps interoperability on Windows, MacOS and Linux computers.
By extending support to Chrome, Google is trying to add another incentive for Apps customers to use the Google browser, as opposed to using competing products such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox and Apple's Safari.
According to Google, there are other advantages to using Chrome for Google Apps, a browser-based cloud email and collaboration suite for workplace use. "Google Apps also work great with Chrome, as features like offline document editing, desktop notifications and homescreen apps are currently only available in Chrome," wrote Fred Beckebanze, manager of Apps technical solutions engineers, in a blog post.
Google also announced earlier this week that it has given Apps administrators more granular control over Gmail Labs features that they may want to make available for their users. These are pre-release features that are still in an "experimental" phase.
Previously, Apps administrators could either turn on or turn off all Gmail Labs features for their end users. Now, administrators can control the end-user availability of individual Gmail Labs features.

Last week my daughter participated in a Santa's Workshop event at school. It is an annual event where children and their parents discuss a shopping budget, and the kids are allowed to walk through "Santa's workshop" selecting gifts for friends and family while spending up to their established cash limit. Parents send in money the day of the event, and teachers help kids with the math to make sure they don't overrun their budgets.
I know a few adults who could benefit from similar restraint, especially this time of year! With only two days until Christmas I bet there are at least a few of you out there thinking, "I don't have this person enough stuff to open Christmas morning," or "I need to buy my Mom another present to match the number I bought Dad." Believe me, my wife and I are having the same discussions. The problem is we have already spent our Christmas budget for this year, so we are officially finished shopping. No last minute trips to Walmart to charge up a few "guilt" gifts this year.
Christmas shopping was a much more pleasant experience this year with cash. After last Christmas my wife and I vowed to save all year long and spend cash at Christmas. We managed to pull it off by setting up a $25 transfer to our ING Direct Christmas Fund each paycheck. We also tossed in some "found" money including a small tax refund and wound up with nearly $600 for Christmas shopping and our annual giving tradition.
If you are already suffering from the worry over Christmas debt I highly recommend setting up your own high yield savings account at ING Direct and stashing a little away each paycheck towards next year. It makes the entire experience more joyful not to have credit card bills rolling in right after ringing in the New Year.
Here's what our automatic savings plan with ING Direct looks like:
Screen capture from our "Christmas Fund" at ING Direct
Notice that our account balance is already back up to $79.25 after contributions made since our November withdrawal. As an added bonus, we also earned a little over $15 in interest last year–enough to add a CD or book as a stocking stuffer. When the time comes next Christmas we'll simply transfer the balance of our Christmas Fund back to our checking account, subtract a little for giving, and enjoy a cash-only shopping trip with the rest.

A federal appeals court ruled Virginia's anti-sodomy law unconstitutional.
A divided three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the law against oral and anal sex violates the constitution's due process clause. The court based its decision on the landmark 2003 U.S. Supreme Court striking down an anti-sodomy law in Texas.
In Virginia, William Scott MacDonald was convicted of criminal solicitation for allegedly ordering another person under age 18 to commit a felony. In his case, that felony was oral sex. MacDonald argued that the criminal solicitation conviction was invalid because the underlying felony statute was unconstitutional. The appeals court majority agreed.

A new lineup of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that manage risk and use momentum strategies has been introduced by ALPS Advisors.
Unlike traditional equity index funds, the latest ETFs from ALPS will shift assets based upon factors like historical volatility and market correlations. The funds use benchmarks developed by Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS).
"ALPS is excited to introduce ETFs based on the Goldman Sachs indices to our suite of ETFs" said Tom Carter, executive vice president of ALPS Holdings.
The new ALPS/GS Momentum Builder and risk managed funds are the following:
—ALPS/GS Momentum Builder Growth Markets Equities and US Treasuries Index ETF (GSGO) —ALPS/GS Momentum Builder Multi-Asset Index ETF (GSMA) —ALPS/GS Momentum Builder Asia ex-Japan Equities and US Treasuries Index ETF (GSAX) —ALPS/GS Risk-Adjusted Return US Large Cap Index ETF (GSRA)
Three of the new ETFs tracking the "GS Momentum Builder" model attempt to capture momentum exposure to multiple asset classes using a risk control mechanism. The funds use a systematic trading strategy that dynamically allocates across a basket of assets based on historical price momentum and volatility.
The fourth ETF, GSRA aims to mimic stocks with the highest risk-adjusted returns using 12-month volatility-adjusted consensus price targets for the stocks in the Russell 1000 index.
GSRA charges 0.55% annually while the other ALPS/GS ETFs charge 0.68%. Dividends for the ALPS/GS ETFs are paid quarterly.

Guide to Passenger Planes
Passenger planes are such an essential part of our lives today that it is hard to imagine a time when one could not board a plane and fly to any part of the world. There are many types and sizes of passenger planes, some of which carry hundreds of passengers. The first such aircraft in history was the Russian Sikorsky Ilya Muromets, which had electric lighting, a saloon for the passengers and a separate sleeping area. This plane was also heated for the comfort of the passengers. The first flight was from St. Petersburg to Kiev in June 1914, a flight lasting more than 14 hours and carrying 16 people.
The first jetliners appeared in the 1940's, when companies started to build planes for no other reason than to make travel easier. The wide-body aircraft jets are the largest of these passenger planes. There are usually two aisles in these planes with three rows of seats. The Boering 747 is one of the planes in this category. These planes are mainly used for long distance flights and carry many passengers.
Passenger planes with a single aisle between the rows of seats are called narrow-body aircraft. These planes are used for shorter distance flights and carry smaller numbers than the wide –body planes, even though there is usually room for about 150 passengers. For flights within specific regions, there are smaller planes which only carry 100 passengers or less.
On both the wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, there is a pilot and copilot and attendants. The attendants serve food and drink to the passengers and give them instructions on how to fasten their seat belts and what to do in case of an emergency.
Air taxis are passenger planes that can carry less than 20 people. Most of these planes only have 19 seats and there are planes with even fewer seats than that. These planes rarely have flight attendants and may only have a pilot.

The Colorado Rapids are in communication with 28-year-old Colombian midfielder Jaime Castrillón, but contrary to rumors circulating around the Internet, no official agreement has been reached between the two sides, according to a source with the Rapids.
Goal.com is reporting it appeared Castrillón was set to stay with the club Millionaires in his native Colombia, but at the last minute, he decided to make a move to play in MLS.
The report says Castrillón accepted a deal with the Rapids shortly after the announcement that countryman Oscar Pareja was the club's new head coach. However, the Rapids' source says no official deal is in place with Castrillón, but confirmed that talks have been ongoing.
Castrillón has 28 caps with the Colombian national team, scoring four goals.

Raise your hand if you have a coffee addiction!
Whoa! A heck load of you raised your hand. You know what, I used to be ashamed of my coffee habit, vowing every few months to go on some cleanse to nix it, but I've read the reviews and coffee is healthy for me (antioxidants, people).
There are actually nights where I go to bed looking forward to the next morning's cup of coffee. I've finally come to terms with my addiction and am no longer ashamed. In fact, I recently told myself that I was going to find new ways to implement it in food I love. First way? Mocha Popsicles! Shut up…yes, they're so amazing. So amazing that on my way into work, I dripped one all over that oxford blue shirt you see in the picture. (By the way, this is a very common occurence with me.) Thank heavens I use my trunk as a 2nd closet. I'm proud to say that I actually had ample choices to change into! Woo hoo!
Let's talk popsicles…
They have super strong coffee in them. They have chocolate. And sweetened condensed milk. Basically, these Mocha Popsicles have every awesome thing ever created. Except cheese. But that'd just be weird.
Have you ever had Vietnamese Iced Coffee? It's heavenly. Seriously. This is basically a Vietnamese Iced Mocha…just frozen solid.
You could make these blindfolded–they're that easy. All you have to do is mix super strong brewed coffee (or espresso), sweetened condensed milk, a bit of Dutch processed cocoa powder and mix. I recommend that you do a little taste test and adjust accordingly. If you want it more chocolately…add more chocolate; want more sweetness…add more condensed milk. Cooking is fun!
And popsicle molds…umm…why are they made so cheaply? The dang piece of plastic snapped off and broke. Next time I'm thinking I'll skip the tops and just use plain ol' popsicle sticks. I'm also taking any recommendations on good popsicle molds…anyone?
Mocha Popsicles
Recipe adapted from David Lebovitz
Makes 8 popsicles, depending on the size of your molds.
I made super strong coffee using my French press. I put 6 scoops of coffee with 3 cups of hot water and let it sit for 5 minutes. It came out super strong and perfect. Also, if you don't have sweetened condensed milk, David says you could substitute using half & half or milk. I would just add a little at a time to taste.
2 cups (500ml) extra-strong coffee or espresso
2/3 cup (160ml) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tablespoon of unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder
Mix the coffee with the sweetened condensed milk. Add the tablespoon of cocoa powder. Taste, and add a bit more milk or chocolate powder, if desired. (A spoonful or two is fine, but any more and the popsicles won't freeze as hard.)
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until sold. Mine took about 8 hrs. To loosen the popsicle out of its mold, hold under warm water until it slides out. Voila! Awesome Mocha Popsicles.

Yumm, these look delicious!
ummmmm, hello?? Those look so yummy, I say this as I am finishing my coffee, yes, I too am addicted, thanks for sharing!!!!
Want. Now.
Oh YUM!!!! I need some mocha popsicles!
::raises hand!::
YUM! These look so delicious! A must try! Great blog; happy I found you!
Mary xo
Delightful Bitefuls
YUM, 3 cheers for coffee.
I am so making these as a grown up dessert this week
I love making homemade popsicles! Great flavor here!
I am not a coffee person (party pooper, boo, I know :)) but these look delicious and I want to make these immediately. I'm sad you're not happy with your molds because I was going to ask where you got them. I've had my eye on these rocket molds 🙂
A few months ago I was out with friends and we were drinking Vietnamese coffee and thought that it would make the best ice cream. Then I went home and made some and we were sooo right. I hadn't thought about adding cocoa powder, that would probably send it over the top.
Nicole–I got mine at Cost Plus…they're were only like $3–I should've known! The rocket molds are super cute! I think it really depends on how long the plastic stick is. If it's long, then it should work just fine.
Naomi–Vietnamese coffee is seriously my new obsession. It in ice cream form would be incredible!
*raises hand* Haha, glad I'm not the only one who falls asleep dreaming about the next morning's coffee! These look SO delicious – can't wait to try them myself! : )
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Nicole Dula and Third Floor, Adrianna . Adrianna said: I mixed together sweetened condensed milk, coffee and chocolate. And then froze it. It made Mocha awesomeness. http://bit.ly/cPNUbj […]
Wow, this looks amazing!! I love vietnamese iced coffees but have never made them into popsicles. I'm slapping myself right now. And cocoa? Yum.
yumm – eeeeee! Now I must try this Vietnamese coffee you speak of – right now.
Those look delicious! I am saving my coffee addiction for when I have kids someday. I figure I'll really need it then haha
This may be the perfect treat for me!!!
Yum looks amazing!
First time here…great blog!
Luv these mocha pops, I've gotta try them! Too bad about the mold cracking like that.
These look delicious and so refreshing! I love frozen coffee desserts.
Coffee? Yum. Chocolate? Yum. Sweet Milk? Well almost Yum — since I'm dairy-free. But, I bet I could use an alternative. And, I will. Love these.
Nancy– I bet coconut milk would be an awesome substitute!
Ohhhh, my daughter and I loooove mocha. We'll make this soon!
Woww! What a wonderful alternative to coffee! Especially perfect for a hot summer day!
Best wishes from one blogger to another,
do you see my hand? it's up there, raised… COFFEEEEE (drools)
i love this recipe! needless to say i love any kind of popsicles, but mocha? let the popsicle mania start! i'm making these today…
btw, my mum used to say I eat like a chicken… spilling all over the place
This looks like an awesome popsicle recipe. I can't wait to try it.
The rocket molds mentioned on here look like they are tovolo brand. I have had the star shaped molds for about 3 years now and I love them. They are in constant use and clean up great in the dishwasher. Do a search for tovolo popsicle molds on Amazon if you want to check the molds out.
I've been saying all summer that I need to get a popsicle mold. This is just one more reason!! These look delish, and I can totally justify one of these for my afternoon coffee fix!
What a great series of photos! I must confess that I am addicted to that morning cup of coffee as well…And the evening espresso.
I'm making this tonight. I can't believe how it easy it is to make! It looks fabulous.
I bought some cheap molds, too, but I've only used them once, and the popsicles didn't come out of the mold. I found out from another blogger that you have to place the molds in warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicles. Also, there are some fancy, schmancy molds out there that freeze the mixture without placing them in the freezer. I forgot the name of them, though. They had a couple blog giveaways for them a few weeks ago. I didn't win 🙁 hahaha.
Anyway, thanks for this easy recipe!! I have condensed milk, but if somebody were to use the substitutions you mentioned, wouldn't they need to add some sugar or some sort of sweetner? Just wondering… Take care!
Hi Memoria–After the first one broke, I ran the rest under warm water for a bit so they'd loosen up. I'll add that to the blog post because I think that's pretty valuable info!
I think if you use coconut milk, or soy, or any substitute you definitely should add some sugar or agave. I bet coconut milk and a little agave would taste fantastic! Hope you like!
Those popsicles look delicious!
These are the ones used in our house… they're small (2oz) but they don't break! I love them.
this just sounds amazing, it would feed my coffee addiction perfectly 🙂
No way! These look too good and simple to be true.
Loved the post and had my hand raised high alongside all the other coffee addicts:)
Oh my coffee addicted heaven 🙂 !!!
I had these in the freezer all last summer. I had completely forgotten about them! Thanks for the reminder.
These look wonderful! I'm going to try them with decaf so I can have them any time of day. Thanks for sharing!
oh, how interesting! I bet a touch of chili, like cayenne, would make them pop out even more!
These look sooo yummmyyy!!! there perfect if you need a little caffeine pick-me-up when its scorching hot outside during these summer months 🙂 About the cheap plastic molds…If you're not worried about the popsicles having a fancy look, what I always did growing up is use the small paper dixie cups, and place a regular wooden popsicle stick in it. Then once their frozen, just tear the paper cup off the popsicle and viola!! 🙂 Not as pretty, but just as yummy!!!

I am working on a school project, to setup and configure a honeynet.
The way I have decided to do this is buy setting up a pfsense router with snort (ids) and from there a windows 2003 webserver without any updates ready to be hacked!
I was planning on installing sebek on the server to get keylogs, this is according to my honeynet book supposed to go to the honeywall (pfsense) but i don't have that ability so I was planing on configuring a hardend xp client behind a firewall with a sebek server and that also could receive the event logs but i am having problems finding sebek server for windows!
All this is happening on my computer in a vmware environment!
Anny tips on what I can do to get this to work? have been trying for two weeks now without any result and I am falling behind on school so I need to get this to work.
Thanks for any answers!

Maggiee brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 41 Designs von 12 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Central Presbyterian Church wants to create a new logo. Two important features that they want to have in the logo is the church's name and their tag phrase: "Deliberately Diverse and Fully Inclusive". The design they have in mind is to incorporate the Christian cross into the name of the church (perhaps in place of the letter "T") with the tag phrase prominently displayed. If the denomination seal ( http://www.pcusa.org/oga/seal.htm ) could be incorporated into the church's logo, that would be a plus (but not a requirement). They are open to any creative designs.
The Central Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas is a diverse and inclusive community of Christians. This is the 2nd contest they are attempting to develop a logo that represents their image. The design review committee at CPC liked many of the past designs submitted, but have decided that rather than visualize the people in the church, the logo would be more symbolic in nature. We encourage some of the designers who have participated in the initial contest to give us another chance, as we are committed to coming up with a new image for the church. You can read more about the church at the url above, but you will not find any strong imagery - hence the need for a strong logo.
- Central Presbyterian Church
- Deliberately Diverse and Fully Inclusive
- We tend to prefer initial caps rather than all caps in prior designs.

Microsoft says a newly discovered flaw in its Windows software was used by a hacking group that other researchers have linked to Russia's government and computer intrusions at the Democratic National Committee.
The flaw was detected by researchers at Google, who recently alerted software makers Microsoft and Adobe Systems about vulnerabilities in their programs. Adobe issued a fix for its software last week. Microsoft says it's testing a patch and will release it next week.
Microsoft acknowledged the problem Tuesday, saying only that it affected older versions of Windows and was used by a group called Strontium to target "a specific set of customers."
The security firm Crowdstrike and others have linked Strontium, also known as "Fancy Bear," to recent attacks on government, media and political targets in several countries.
Meanwhile, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official, the Kremlim is backing a plan to purge government offices and state-controlled companies of all foreign software, including Microsoft, and replacing it with Russian ones, NBC News reported.
As Russia braces for the U.S. to retalitate for months of hacking attacks that Washington says were ordered by Putin to influence the American election, it is signaling to its own population that "we can't trust American technology — and once again feed into Russian hostility and paranoia towards America and its products," Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said.
The move shows Russia is serious "about nationalizing the internet and making sure they can create their own secure content," said Fiona Hill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Big Bird is in the crosshairs of this year's presidential campaign, but the bigger victim may be the public's perception of what is "fair use."
The owners of the Sesame Street character balked this week when President Obama's reelection campaign used his image in a brief clip in a snarky campaign spot. Although Sesame Workshop asked the campaign to take it down, that hasn't happened yet, and the presumption is that this would be another instance where their seconds-only use of the beloved avian kidvid character is something that falls under fair-use doctrine.
Many entertainment attorneys say that in this election cycle, the concept of "fair use" has warped into a misreading by the public if not the campaigns themselves.
The irony is that in recent years, musicians like Jackson Browne, Don Henley and David Byrne have sued campaigns for the use of their works, leading to favorable settlements or judgments, but that has hardly stopped campaigns from using songs and clips without permission.
"In light of the litigation, I don't think you can be a professional political operative and pretend not to understand about intellectual property," said Larry Iser of Kinsella Weitzman, who represented Browne and Byrne. "It is too important to pretend you didn't know. What they have done now is use the words 'fair use' in order to confuse the public as to what fair use is."
Lawyer Bryan Sullivan of Early Sullivan notes that fair use "was never meant to be a bar to a lawsuit; it is meant to be a bar to recovery."
One of the most common misperceptions is that there is a set length of time that divides when a use is fair and when it infringes.
Yet the U.S. Copyright Office notes that the distinction between what is fair use and what is infringement is "not always clear or easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines or notes that may be safely taken without permission." Section 107 of the Copyright Act does not go into specifics, but says that among the factors in determining what is fair use is "the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole."
Iser also notes that Section 107 lays out the purposes for which a use is fair, including criticism or comment. He argues that Sesame Workshop would have a case even for the seconds-long clips of Big Bird because the criticism, i.e. parody, is not of Big Bird or "Sesame Street," but of Mitt Romney. In other words, it is not commenting on the original work, but something else. "While it is a case-by-case situation, it is very clear that if you are going to use somebody's copyrighted work for satire, the parody has to be of that copyrighted work," he argues.
This campaign also has seen a fair share of back-and-forth over what falls into the "fair use" category. In July, when the Romney campaign used a clip of Obama singing a few bars of Al Green's classic "Let's Stay Together" at a public event, YouTube removed it at the request of one of the copyright holders but restored it after the Romney campaign argued that it was fair use.
Iser actually sees fewer instances of campaigns using copyrighted music in their spots this election, but what has created more stir this cycle have been campaigns use of clips lifted from news broadcasts. Tom Brokaw objected earlier this year when Mitt Romney's campaign used footage from a 1997 NBC News broadcast in an attack ad questioning Newt Gingrich's ethics. Bob Schieffer issued an on-air disclaimer when he was featured in a Romney spot that featured a clip of him and ran during "Face the Nation." According to Politico, NBC News last week asked the Obama campaign to stop using footage of Andrea Mitchell in a post-debate campaign spot.
The use of such footage brings up the potential for claims of trademark and false endorsement, though that raises a more pragmatic question of whether it is a battle worth waging.
There's also the matter of shelf life.
Sullivan, who has advised campaigns and nonprofits to do a "risk assessment" in judging what is fair use, knows the sentiment of political operatives in the heat of campaign battles: "Better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission."

This time of year, people have weight loss on their minds.
According to a 2012 survey published in the University of Scranton's Journal of Clinical Psychology, losing weight is the No. 1 New Year's resolution.
For some Baltimore residents, working toward that goal by eating healthfully has gotten easier over the past year, thanks to the introduction of healthy snacks in their office or school vending machines.
In December, Howard County Executive Ken Ulman signed an executive order banning the sale of high-sugar drinks in county buildings and at county-sponsored events; Baltimore City is exploring similar initiatives.
"Healthy vending is hot," says L.A. Brickner, owner of the Baltimore franchise of Fresh Healthy Vending, a California company that stocks its climate-controlled vending machines with whole food snacks, including yogurt, juice and organic apple chips.
Though some are critical of the Howard County ban, saying it limits consumer choice, Brickner believes a shift to more healthful vending options is a good move for area residents.
She started the local franchise a year ago, after many years of interest in nutrition. "After I bent the ears of my family and friends about the evils of hydrogenated fats and high-fructose corn syrup, I started the company," she says. "It's a bigger soapbox!"
Today, Fresh Healthy Vending machines are in about 20 locations around the region, including the School of Rock, Jewish community centers, and some Baltimore City middle and high schools.
Students helped bring the machines to Dunbar High School, according to Principal Kristina Kyles.
"Last year, my students brought up that they were interested in getting vending machines," she says. "But I didn't feel comfortable providing unhealthy options. I wanted to expose students to healthy food. We found the healthy machines through Michelle Obama's Get Fit campaign. We loved the idea and now have three machines."
Kyles says that despite some initial complaints about the vending options, her students have come around. "I knew my kids would be frustrated at the beginning," she says. "But now the machines are slammed and have to be refilled on a weekly basis. When the team comes to replenish the machines, the kids interact with them. They're really engaged."
Favorite snacks at Dunbar High School include apple crisps, granola packs and Pirate's Booty, a puffed rice and corn snack food.
At the School of Rock Baltimore, Melody Easton, the school's general manager, acknowledges that she's a frequent user of the new vending machines. "I prefer whole foods and real foods, so I like having options like pita chips and hummus, and iced tea that's not sweetened," she says. "I'm probably more apt to buy something from the vending machine, since I have those options!"
Brickner says the snacks are more expensive than traditional vending machine options, but only slightly. In Fresh Healthy Vending machines, snacks range from 75 cents to just over $2. The No. 1 seller — bottled water — costs $1, comparable to other machines.
"Compared to traditional vending machines, we have a broader range of products," she says. Because Fresh Healthy Vending machines are climate-controlled, the company can stock perishable items, like smoothies and yogurt.
"Old traditional vending machines have products that sit for months at a time," says Brickner. "Our products almost all have expiration dates."
Though individual snacks may be more expensive than their traditional counterparts, some companies consider offering healthful snacks a smart move, from a long-term economic perspective.
Allegeant, a Timonium-based "accountable care solutions" company, helps organizations manage health care expenses, in part by encouraging employees to adopt healthier habits.
"The more we walked around our clients' buildings, the more we realized how many tough choices people had to make," says Michael Barger, Allegeant's vice president of client consulting. "Every snack machine was filled with candy. How can you ask people to start living healthier lives, but not arm them with the correct tools to do so?"
Allegeant has worked with clients to bring in vending options and overhaul cafeteria menus. The company also encourages incentives for preventive screenings and checkups.
"The decision to get a preventive screening done now can have a direct impact on future medical issues," says Barger. "The same holds true for healthy options in a vending machine. If I choose the apple instead of the candy bar, that can have a direct impact on future choices."
Access to more healthful food is equally important for young people learning about how to eat better, says Kyles. "Students have so much access to nonhealthy food, When they engage with the healthy items in the machines, it's impacting our culture in a good way."
School of Rock's Easton echoes Kyles' sentiments. "Working with kids, we teach them not just music, but also all the fun stuff and social skills that go with that. It's good for them to have healthy options, since so often they're bombarded with poor choices."
For Brickner, helping people is the end goal. "That's why I'm in it," she says. "It's not because I want to take over the vending world. It's just an amazing cause."

Ali Lohan Gossip
Ali Lohan gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Another Lohan, just a matter of time
Everyone is talking about these new photos of Lindsay Lohan's sister Ali taken on Tuesday in Beverly Hills. Does she look really, really different? Ali is only 17. And, you know, teen faces change all the time. This is why I don't always think it's fair when those plastic surgery websites pull up photos from when a celebrity was 18 or whatever comparing to how they look now at 35 and accuse them of getting a new chin, or something. Full Story
Crank Fugitive?
Lindsay Lohan is on probation. One of the court ordered conditions of her probation is that she attend alcohol education classes every 7 days. The alcohol education classes do not take place at the Chateau Marmont. Needless to say, she hasn't been in compliance. And TMZ Full Story
Is she still a minor?
Ali Lohan is 16 years old. Believe it. She was in London the other night with her older sister Lindsay and was photographed out on the town looking like this. THIS. 16 is still underage right? So, like, she should be supervised by an adult? And Lindsay Lohan, in and out of rehab, cranked out of her f-cking mind, this is considered proper adult supervision? What the f-ck is Dina Lohan doing? Look at her. Full Story
Lohan Mayhem 2010
Lindsay Lohan promised on her Twitter at New Year's that 2010 would be all about the Lohan Mayhem. In a "positive" way. Please. Is that possible? Lilo is currently with Ali in St Barts. The mother is nowhere to be found. They've been walking around in their bikinis, attending high roller parties, frying their orange skin. Full Story
It's not too late for the younger one
You're about to choke. Because this is Ali Lohan with her mother yesterday volunteering at a pre-Thanksgiving luncheon serving over 200 people with disabilities. The Lohans giving back – with cameras in their faces – and Ali Lohan, normally aged 40, actually looking like a teenager. Full Story
Ungaro's New Employee
Lindsay Lohan is in Paris "working" for Ungaro. She and sister Ali attended a party last night looking older than Joan and Jackie Collins. Evidently they borrowed from their closets too. So Lilo is at Fashion Week in her official capacity as the newly installed "artistic consultant" or some sh-t at the House of Ungaro. Full Story
Scurry aside for Beyonce
Lindsay Lohan was hired to show off her new lips in Singapore last weekend at the F1 event. Beyonce was booked as the marquee performer. Her people claimed the biggest dressing room tricked out in mirrors and food and whatever other excessive gear Beyonce needs during a 3 hour window. Lilo however thought the room was hers. Full Story
Another child to pimp
Ever heard of DJ AC? Ugh. The A is for Ali. As in 40 year old Ali Lohan. The C is for Cody, her younger brother, who is now her DJ partner. They're to "perform" on the 1s and 2s on August 15th at MegaJam in Long Island. Or something. Dina Lohan is so proud. It's the reason she had so many kids. Full Story
Old hags at a fashion show
Who's older? It's hard to say. Dina and Ali Lohan showed up at some fashion show last night in New York looking like two cougar sisters escaped from the small town letting loose in the big city. Ali's real age, if you can believe it, is actually only 15. She hasn't looked 15 since she was 8. Full Story
You are not Little Edie
The cops were called to Lindsay Lohan's the other day because the alarm went off. Nothing had been stolen and there was no break in, but it was a f-cking mess, prompting the police to describe initially that the place had been ransacked. It was not ransacked. Lilo simply doesn't pick up her sh-t. Full Story
It runs in the family
Oh, so many things. Breasts, for starters. Check out Ali Lohan in Hawaii with her sister Lindsay showing off her growing body. It had been rumoured for years that Dina took Lilo to get her tits done when she was still a teen. I never believed. The Lohan teardrops… they're genetic, right? Discuss. Full Story

Planned flotation of Doha Global Investment Co delayed pending necessary approvals
A planned flotation of Doha Global Investment Co, a $12 billion Qatari investment firm backed by assets from the Gulf state's sovereign wealth fund, has been postponed pending necessary approvals, a senior bourse official said on Sunday.
Qatar unveiled plans to create the investment company in February and said its sovereign fund arm, Qatar Holding, will transfer $3 billion worth of assets into the new firm, with a similar amount raised in an initial public offering on the Qatar Exchange.
The IPO has been postponed "until all requirements and approvals from the concerned authorities are obtained," Hussein Ali Al Abdullah, acting chairman of both Qatar Holding and the bourse, said in a statement.
A new date for the IPO will be announced in the local news media, Abdullah said, without providing any additional details.

FRIDAY, Aug. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Five brands accounted for the largest amounts of beer consumed by people before they were treated for injuries at an emergency department in a large U.S. city, according to a new pilot study.
Of the five brands (Budweiser, Steel Reserve, Colt 45, Bud Ice and Bud Light), three are a type of "malt liquor," which has a higher alcohol content than regular beer.
Four brands of malt liquor (Steel Reserve, Colt 45, Bud Ice and King Cobra) accounted for 46 percent of the beer consumed by the patients, even though those four brands account for only 2.4 percent of beer consumed in the general population.
For the study, researchers interviewed patients at the Johns Hopkins Hospital emergency department in Baltimore on Friday and Saturday nights between April 2010 and June 2011. Of the 105 patients who admitted to drinking before they were injured, 69 percent were men.
The study, thought to be the first of its kind to assess injured ER patients' alcohol consumption by brand and type, was published online Aug. 1 in the journal Substance Use and Misuse.
The researchers also found that the proportion of vodka, gin and brandy/cognac consumed by ER patients was higher than the proportion of those drinks consumed in the general population.
"Recent studies reveal that nearly a third of injury visits to Level I trauma centers were alcohol-related and frequently a result of heavy drinking," lead author David Jernigan, director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health, said in a Hopkins news release.
"Understanding the relationship between alcohol brands and their connection to injury may help guide policy makers in considering taxation and physical availability of different types of alcohol given the harms associated with them," he explained.
The next step in this line of research would be to conduct a larger study in multiple ERs and cities, the study authors suggested. They added that policy changes from this research could include: requirements for clear labeling of alcohol content on malt liquor beverages; limits on malt liquor availability and marketing; and graduated taxation of beer based on alcohol content to discourage people from drinking beer with higher alcohol levels.

text: Although it is widely known that authentication via 'secret' questions is not secure, now we finally have statistical evidence to prove it. Microsoft Research and Carnegie Mellon University have conducted a study that measures how guessable answers to 'secret' questions are. The researchers looked at the questions used by AOL, Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! in order to authenticate users who need to reset their forgotten passwords. The ability of users to memorize their answers was also questioned. (more…)

Ha! I was just watching some of that movie a few minutes ago. Great movies, but I think it is time for them to stop making sequels.
I loved the first one. So different. Then they killed it. ;)
Ok, I need to stop procrastinating and get off the computer, lol.

A first for J-Roll
He's in the Phillies record book for most career lead-off home runs. No, not Lenny Dykstra or Juan Samuel or Richie Ashburn, but J-Roll.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, last night was the first time Rollins has hit a walk-off home run in his career. Entering Wednesday's action, Rollins' 148 home runs were the second most among active players who had never hit a game-ending home run during the regular season, behind Mark Teixeira (254). (Teixeira did hit a walk-off home run during the 2009 playoffs).
Chance for a sweep this afternoon and then the Blue Jays come to town. Yep, the schedule says the Phillies are in Toronto but the series was moved to Citizens Bank Park. Tickets are still available for all three games. More about this series tomorrow.
Then, the Phillies head for Cincinnati after Sunday's game for three games with the Reds before a four-game series in Pittsburgh.
Minor League Notes
**Reading OF Domonic Brown and Lakewood RHP Jarred Cosart have been selected to play for the U. S. team in the annual Futures Game in Angel Stadium of Anaheim during the MLB All-Star Game festivities. ESPN will televise that game.
**Clearwater 2B Harold Garcia extended his hitting streak to 27 straight games last night.
Alumni Note
Rick Wise, who is the only pitcher in baseball history to hit two home runs while pitching a no-hitter, will be at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday. His gem came on June 23, 1971, at Cincinnati, a 4-0 no-hitter. A sixth-inning walk to Dave Concepcion kept Rick from a perfect game. He threw 95 pitches (59 fastballs and 36 breaking balls).
His homers came in the fifth (1 on) and eighth innings (solo).
He'll be signing autographs at the Alley Store from 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m.and appearing live on Scott Palmer's pre-game Behind the Pinstripes Show.

Parents, here are some filters to protect your kids from air and water pollutants.
You know what they say: "A filter a day keeps the doctor away."
Okay, so maybe that's not how the original saying goes, but there is still some truth to it. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then parents should, no doubt, be concerned about what their children are eating. What parents may not know is that the quality of what their children are drinking, bathing in and breathing is just as important. Here are some ways to ensure your kids have access to pure, uncontaminated sources of air and water.
Filters for Kids, Part One: The Stuff We Drink
National Geographic recently published an article discussing the dangers of contaminated water that runs through school fountains and sinks. Water contaminated with lead and other toxic substances is a particular concern for urban schools that have old pipelines, as lead is known to affect the physical and mental development of children. Clearly, lead belongs in the pencils children use at school, not in their drinking water.
The obvious solution to this problem is – you guessed it – bottle water. But, before you send your child off to school with an apple and a bottle of water in his lunchbox, consider the risks. Bottled water is 1,000 times more costly than tap and is bad for the environment. There is also a chance that if your child is drinking water from a bottle, he may be exposed to bisphenol-A (BPA), a harmful substance found in a variety of plastic containers and other consumer products, including baby bottles.
It looks like we have a true dilemma on our hands. If tap water is bad, and bottled water is bad, then what can your child drink?
Well, not all bottles are bad. A lot of plastic bottle manufacturers have switched to BPA-free bottles, since consumers and the FDA expressed concerns about the health risks of this toxic substance. Rather than buying bottled water, (which is likely bottled tap water anyway), parents can instead buy reusable water bottles for kids and refill them with filtered tap water. Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottles come in various sizes and are BPA-free, as are Klean Kanteen Sippy Cups for smaller children. Certain models of the Brita filter pitcher also come with a BPA-free Nalgene bottle. Another solution is to purchase a bottle that has an attachable filter cartridge. The Filters Fast 16 oz. water filter bottle removes significant amounts of lead and other toxic contaminants every time you refill it.

nVent Thermal Management provides power limiting heat trace cables that allow for higher exposure temperature and higher power output at elevated temperatures.
nVent RAYCHEM heat trace cables are parallel heaters formed by a coiled resistor alloy heating element wrapped around two parallel bus wires. At a fixed distance, the insulation is removed from the alternate bus wires to form a heating zone.
The positive temperature coefficient effect (PTC) of the heating element reduces power output as ambient temperature increases. This effect allows the power-limiting cable to be overlapped by reducing the temperature of the heating element at the overlap points.
Power-limiting heat trace cable can be used for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance requiring high power output and/or high temperature exposure. Power-limiting cables can provide process temperature maintenance up to 455°F (235°C) and can withstand exposure temperatures up to 500°F (260°C) with power off.

Its been 33 years since the Brighton bombing here we share our interview with Jo Berry and Patrick Mcgee with Positive TV finding about their conflict resolution charity Building Bridge for Peace.
On October 12th 1984, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) exploded a bomb in the Grand Hotel, Brighton, during the Conservative Party Conference killing 5 people and injuring many more. Amongst those killed was Sir Anthony Berry MP.
The family of Sir Anthony Berry were devastated, but for his daughter Jo, it also started a life-long mission for peace.
"I was 27 when my father was killed, and within two days of that it was important for me to find something positive out of it, to bring some meaning and to even understand those who killed him."
Jo Berry
16 years later, Patrick Magee – the man who planted the bomb – was released from prison and Jo arranged to meet him. As they listened to each other's story, they came to realise that this was the beginning of a journey of peace and reconciliation to which they were inextricably bound.
The charity Building Bridges for Peace was launched in Brighton in October 2009 – on the 25th anniversary of the bombing.
Building Bridges for Peace works to enable divided communities and the general public to explore and better understand the roots of war, terrorism and violence. We promote dialogue and mediation as the means to peace.
Jo Berry and Pat Magee have given talks in Palestine, Lebanon, Rwanda and throughout the UK.
To be a subject of a grievous wrong is always wounding and painful and can frequently provoke anger.
However, anger, if allowed to fester is like a cancer of the soul. It does more harm to those who hold it than against those whom it is held.
Jo Berry knows from personal experience what it is to have to face deep suffering as her father was blown up in a IRA bomb. She has let go of personal need for revenge and empathised with Patrick Magee, the man responsible for planting the bomb.
To hear her speak alongside the one who killed her father is a living demonstration of the transforming power of reconciliation when two people who have been on different sides truly listen and can see each other's humanity, an example this sad world so desperately need.
