car seat confusion
I've been checking out carseats on the internet and magazines. I have seen the top few that experts seem to recommend and the top few parents recommend. I have not seen the carseats that have the bar that comes down over the childs head and buckles between their legs, are these safe? My son is 3 1/2 months old, 29 inches long and 24 pounds, he is to big for his evenflo infant carrier carseat. But to be direct I am a single mother and I can not afford to pay $200 for a Britax carseat,which from what I can tell everyone seems to think is the safest. So now I'm eat up with guilt that I cannot get my son the safest carseat that could protect his precious life. I would really like anyones advice or experience. I have $75.00 to buy my son a seat with this weekend, the only carseats on the "best list "I've seen I could afford is the Century Accel or Evenflo conquest V, are these as safe as the more expensive ones? Help, Soon!!Thank You 1st time worried mom of Justus

You can get a Fisher Price Safe Embrace for $60 right now...
At Walmart. This is probably the second most popular carseat, under the Britax Roundabout. It has the 5 point harness, no-twist straps, EPS foam, and built-in locking clips. Most Walmart's have gotten shipments of them in, and at $60, is a great deal(the seat originally sold for $100, FP recently stopped making carseats, and shipped Walmart a bunch of seats to help clear out their warehouses).

The "safest" car seat is any car seat
Don't feel that the Britax is the safest car seat. Yes, it does have many safety features, but if you find a car seat that fits your vehicle and child well, and is under $75, you've found a good car seat for you. The Accel and Evenflo Odyssey are good seats to look at. The Fisher Price Safe Embrace is a must-grab if you find one.
All car seats save lives and reduce injuries.
Just look at the features of each seat and buy the most you can afford. Look for things like a 5-point harness, an easy-to-use harness adjuster, 2-piece chest clip, etc. (see the buying guide link at the top of the page).
Stay away from overhead shields and T-shields, since they hold the harness away from the child's body too much.
The seat fits your car well if it moves less than 1" when you tug on it at the belt path after it's installed.

I've been told that if the checker scans the code on the bot
the bottom of the FPSE box, it rings up as $20, not $60! Worth checking out at one of those price scanners at the very least.
Also, proper use is a lot more important than a fancy carseat. Yes, the Britax Roundabout has some very nice features. It's super easy to use properly, which makes it safER than a seat that is difficult to use. The Fisher Price Safe Embrace has some of those features (like built in locking clips). It also has EPS foam. If the seat you purchase fits your car and your child, and you use it correctly each and every time, it is the right seat for you, and you're doing a heck of a lot better than 95% of the other parents out there!

Regarding Carseat
I have the Cosco Alpha Omega Eddie Bauer 5-point system. This carseat goes from 5lbs.- 80lbs. and is rear and forward facing and converts to a highback booster seat as well. I purchased it at JcPenneys with a coupon, but it was more then $75.00. By spending a little extra, you can eliminate a 3rd carseat(booster). JcPenney's I believe has a coupon going on right now. The other carseat I would recommend goes to 40lbs., rear/forward facing too. It's the Evenflo Medallion V XL.
This carseat as well is over $100, and JcPenney's may carry it too. Your little guy is growing rapidly and would invest in just 1 more carseat that will last until he no longer needs to be in 1. Some carseat maximums are 30lbs.- 40lbs. Our son will be 4 in Nov. and only weighs 30lbs, but is tall. I hope this helps and check out where there are coupons available. Had the Cosco Alpha Omega been available when our son was born, we only would have ended up with and infant carrier and that. But we've had 3 carseats and 1 infant carrier. The 2 that I recommended had newborn inserts in them too. Goodluck.

There are some problems with the AO...
First, it may *seem* like a good deal, but for the price of the Alpha Omega (also sold as the "3-in-1"), you can get a nice convertible seat and a decent booster later.
Most reviews of the AO that I see agree that the saying, "A jack of all trades, but a master of none," applies. It's too big to be a good infant seat, too small to be a good booster, and too flat to be a good convertible. You may want to check this post boards2.parentsplace.com/.../13/2.html for more.
The AO is normally $130. For $60, you could get either the Century Accel or the Fisher Price Safe Embrace, both of which are very nice convertible seats that fit well in most vehicles and fit most children better & longer than the AO, and you'd still have $70 left over to purchase a nice booster when the time comes. Or, you could spend the $60 now, and save a little money each month to use for a booster when your child outgrows the convertible. A newborn won't need a booster for aproximately 4 years, so that means you'd only need to save $2.50/month to save $120 (enough to purchase a very nice Britax booster), and some boosters cost *less* than $50.

Cosco Alpha Omega 3-in-1
I did read the link posted. In terms of the straps twisting, I talked to Evenflo yesterday about our Medallion V XL and why there were no strap covers. Because strap covers cause twisting. Our Medallion straps are never twisted. But in buying the AO this eliminates another carseat. My husband doesn't even want to buy another one after our son has outgrown the Medallion(up to 40lbs.). Anyway, I have an SUV(well 2 now just bought another one on Tuesday) and where the seats split(60/40) when a carseat is installed in the middle, the bottom side falls into that crack or where the split is. The AO and Medallion sit on a flat platform or base the is wider then then the seat. If you have other suggestions are Highback booster seats that have a flat square base bottom, please let me know. That's why we have the 2 seats we do. Yesterday, I ended up unthreading one side of the AO because the part you snap into the crotch piece was installed wrong and the strap was always twisted. Now I have to go back and remove the strap covers to prevent the upper straps from twisting. Please if you know of other base-bottomed highback booster seats, please let me know what will work in our vehicles(1999 Jeep Grande Cherokee Laredo and 1996 Chevrolet Suburban).

Alpha Omega
The AO is a good choice for many people. It is certainly safe if used properly. I think Ulrike just points out that there are some annoyances that may bother some parents, but not others.
Certainly, the AO can be cost effective as it can replace an infant, convertible and booster seat. On the other hand, it probablly isn't as nice as some of the top models in each category if you intended to buy it for just one or two of these categories.
10-27-2001, 05:41 PM #9UlrikeDGGuest
Right. I only brought it up because it had been recommended
to someone for whom there are probably better options, not to make you second guess your purchase. If it's working well for you, that's wonderful!

alpha omega
We now have two alpha omega seats. We bought our first one when our daughter got too long for the infant carrier and I personnaly think they work pretty well we have had to experiment on installation but for the most part we really like. Mly problem now however is that at 17months she is almost to tall for the todler seat any recomendations on a taller toddler seat?
11-27-2001, 12:44 AM #11murphydog77Guest
How do you feel she's too tall for the Alpha Omega?
To be honest, I've never heard of a child that young outgrowing the Alpha Omega. Are her shoulders above the highest harness settings? Are the tips of her ears above the top of the seat? Is she close to or over 40 lbs.? These are the things to look for when a toddler starts to outgrow a forward-facing seat. They are different than the requirements for a rear-facing child.
One thing you can look at is the table with car seat measurements on it. It's found at (Carseat Data website closed - link broken) . Look for the "Common Car Seat Measurements" link and click on it. You can compare harness slot heights and the heights of the car seats there.

Been a busy little robot this week.
Got my Script Frenzy screenplay over to the agent on Thursday. I'm very happy with how it turned out. Hope he likes it. I changed the name from "Timer" to "Nick of Time" for reasons stated earlier. Here's how I pitched it:
"Aimed at a youth audience this is a "flexible" script -- existing comfortably, imo, in a number of niches ranging from a big budget live action/cgi extravaganza through a Nick or D.C. original movie (personally, I'd love to see it as an anime style flick in the vein of Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle", but we can talk about that)."
Agents always ask which niche you see the script falling into -- I'm guessing it helps them decide how they're going to position it. You'll note that I'm not going public with any of the script's content as I'm a little superstitious/paranoid about describing that kind of thing until the agent's had a chance to look at it and it's out on the market.
Got a significant chunk of my outline done for "Caden Brave", my 2009 NaNo effort. All of the main characters are laid out. They're archetypal, but that's how I roll.
Twenty more days until the National Novel Writing Month kicks off. If you're still thinking about joining in, now's the time to sign up and start working on your outline. If you decide to go for it, look me up under the author name of "sillyroger". We can be "buddies" and motivate/annoy each other into action during November.
And finally, got my second Scooby script approved. These are a hoot to write and I hope the kids enjoy watching the show as much as I do writing it.

"Nick of Time", that's a great title! Good luck with the script, Roger, and the Nanoo Nanoo. Man, all these contests got me thinking how the Internet is a great tool for writers, it's like that same, delicious pressure of deadlines one gets at work.

Glad you like the title, I'm pretty pleased with that one myself.
I agree the net's a fantastic tool for writers. From doing research on "magical Celtic herbs" to finding contests like NaNo and Script Frenzy, it's upped my productivity exponentially.

1, 2, 3 lift off. Victor de Souza's spring 2007 offering is pleasant and has hints of the stewardess - - the very sexy stewardess. It is a playful and courageous uniform-inspired collection, which mirrors our current socio-political climate and our subsequent need for order. Translation: tailored separates, high waists and military styled chapeaus with each suit.
Thankfully de Souza does not stray from his elegant and sexy silhouette, which he is known for. His dresses are still the mainstay of this collection and his minimal approach allows them to glow. For color de Souza leans heavily on soft creams, light yellows, navy and classic whites.
Editor Picks:
Navy matte jersey dress with drape skirt detail
Yellow raw silk trench with tulip pleat shoulder and grosgrain belt
Black silk empire waist dress with organza bodice and chiffon tulip drape with grosgrain straps
White linen cutout back spaghetti strap dress with silk charmeuse bodice and pocket detail with grosgrain belt

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'calzones' tag.
I finally took pictures of some of the great food I get to make at work.
I work for a lady named Vraja who has a business named Vraja's Kitchen. We mostly sell food at Farmer's Markets but also do catering and other events (concerts, festivals, etc.). It's a pretty kickass job.
Tonight I baked a bunch of stuff. First I made baklava.
Then I made 35 samosas. The filling, which Vraja made (she's the pro), is made from spinach, chickpeas, almonds, and other goodness.
Then I made 30 calzones, filled with artichoke hearts, green peas, bell peppers, tomato sauce, etc.
And then I made this huge stromboli thing made with different types of cabbage, carrots, green olives, and awesome spices (which I also did not make the filling for), but I didn't have time to bake it so I'll have to take a picture of one of those next time.
We also ordered a pizza from Pizza Fusion, which was really good, and fun because I don't think I've ever order a pizza at work before.

Steven Spielberg has been named jury president for the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival. In recent years, the likes of Nanni Moretti, Robert De Niro, and Tim Burton have led the jury. As arguably the most important American filmmaker working today, Spielberg is an ideal candidate. The director remarked:
"My admiration for the steadfast mission of the Festival to champion the international language of movies is second to none. The most prestigious of its kind, the festival has always established the motion picture as a cross cultural and generational medium." [The Wrap]
Spielberg won Best Screenplay for The Sugarland Express in 1976 and premiered E.T. at Cannes in 1982. Jane Campion will head the Short Film Jury and the Cinefondation at the 66th Cannes Film Festival, which runs May 15-26.

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.jsYes yes I am what, a decade late to the Combos party? Come see come saw.
These pepperoni cracker Combos are pretty snappy. They have all the requisite flavors you would expect and desire here. These things have hard-crunch going for them for certain.
Out of the three I have tried these are probably my second favorite.
- Pretzel and cheese
- pepperoni
- pizzeria
All are great but that pretzel and cheese is hard to beat. It's the bomb.
But I gets me some pizza cravings pretty regularly so these hit that spot can keep my powder dry for a while.

Low Flying Jets
Mary Clare
Anyone else out there experience very loud very low flying jets today? Anyone have an idea of where to address concerns? Not sure if the jet pictured is the same type as the one that buzzed us today but it was something similar.

Just for everyone's information... if you go to Transport Canada's website and lodge a concern online, they will contact you within a very short time frame. We had Comox doing SAR exercises directly over our house in the spring (posted somewhere on Tidelines) and they telephoned me within an hour of my internet contact to them and were able to have them move off.

We saw them buzz the lagoon twice. My guess is they were CF-18 Hornets which would make them Canadian. Not sure why they're here though.

Hi Mary Clare
Yes we heard them Sunday around 2:20 ish out our way between Cortes Bay and Tyber Bay.
Too low and too freeking loud.
Comox Airforce Base is a good place to start. I am getting close to calling myself.
I was told the last Federal Defense Minister allowed the Americans to "play" up around Toba Inlet.
We hear them too often and in all my years only the thunder today was louder than these jets.

How to Bulk Delete Users in WordPress
A WordPress site that's overrun with spam users can be a nightmare to clean up, especially if you're running BuddyPress.
Spam updates flood your activity stream and dashboard with nonsensical comments (I'm very pleased to uncover this site. I want to to thank you for your time just for this wonderful read!!), and your real users become lost in the chaos.
The spammers' prime objective is to take control of your WordPress site and drain your server of resources in order to illegally promote other websites. So as soon as you see this happening, it's a good idea to quickly find and delete any spam users registered on your site.
In today's Weekend WordPress Project, I'll show you simple ways to bulk delete spam users.
Bulk Deleting Users
By default, the Users section in the backend of WordPress only displays 20 users. What you may not know is that you can change how many users display at a time using the Screen Options tab, which is located in the top right of the page.
When you click on Screen Option, settings will display, allowing you to change the numbers of users you want to see and which of their details you want to display.
You can bulk delete users by adjusting the number displayed to 200 rather than 20. Doing this will allow you to delete several hundred users at a time rather than 20 at a time.
While this is a great method if you only have hundreds of users to delete, you may need to use a plugin to bulk delete users if you have several thousand spamming your site.
One such plugin is the aptly named Bulk Delete, which allows you to delete delete users, posts, pages and meta fields based on different conditions and filters.
If you're running a Multisite network, Anti-Splog is a great plugin to help bring your splogger count to zero. This powerful plugin – one of ours! – intelligently identifies sploggers and also block them so you don't have to deal with them in the future. It creates a suspected splog queue for you to review and quickly process in the dashboard. Using the Anti-Splog service will keep them from ever registering again.
WangGuard is another great option that doesn't require WordPress Multisite in order to work, although it does support networked sites. It provides extra features for managing spam users that have already gotten through the registration process. You can use its built-in wizard to scan your installation for possible spammers and then quickly check all to mark as spam and delete.
Prevention is better than cure, as the saying goes. Installing spam blocking plugins when you launch a site will help stop spam, and ensure you don't have to deal with being overrun with spam users.
How do you stop spam users on your WordPress site? Tell us in the comments below.Tags:

Lime Twist
A citrus-spiked butter sauce adds zest to this early-summer meal.
Grilled Lime Scampi
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
1/3 cup fresh lime juice, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup butter
2 green onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup white wine
Pinch of cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
Combine shrimp, ¼ cup lime juice, and olive oil in a bowl, tossing to coat. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet. Add green onions and garlic, and sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine, cayenne pepper, salt, and remaining lime juice. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
Grill shrimp over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until opaque. Toss shrimp in lime-butter sauce, and serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.
Note: If it's pouring rain and you don't want to gear up like that famous yellow-clad fisherman to grill dinner, drain shrimp from the marinade and cook them in the lime-butter sauce in a large covered skillet for about 5 minutes.
Play it safe and cook your side dishes (see below) first. Keep them warm by wrapping with heavy-duty foil and placing them on a warming rack. If you are multiplying this recipe to serve four or six people, you should have room on your grill for it all. Remember, the smaller the shrimp, the more there are in a pound. Purchase large shrimp, and you'll spend less time peeling and deveining.
Grilled Zucchini and Red Bell Peppers
Slice vegetables, then toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill 5 minutes on each side or until tender.
Grilled French Bread
If you prefer soft bread, simply wrap in foil and set in a corner of the grill to warm. For a crispy exterior, brush long slices with melted butter or olive oil and grill 1 to 3 minutes on each side. You won't want to waste a drop of the lime-butter sauce, so use bread for sopping.
Here are a few easygoing whites that are also easy on the wallet: 3 Blind Moose Chardonnay, Blackstone Winery Monterey County Pinot Grigio, Nobilo Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and Talus Collection Pinot Grigio. Feel free to use any of these in the recipe, as well.

From slum-dwelling carpenter to US$1.25 million prize winner
There's a surprising name on the list of winners of this year's US$1.25 million Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship

Reducing risks to urban health and building climate resilience
Climate change, health and urban resilience are all connected, and this means research and policy in these arenas must join up
Poorest urban children failed in disasters, says report
Disasters in Asia's megacities hit the poorest children hardest, a new report finds.
Work and shelter – two struggles, one reality
Urban development programmes have tended to treat livelihoods and shelter as separate problems to solve, when in fact they are closely linked. Grassroots organisations are increasingly seeking ways to tackle these challenges together.
Setting the bar too low: is there really progress on UN development goals?
The UN report on progress towards the Millennium Development Goals seems so at odds with realities on the ground, says David Satterthwaite.
Slum-dwellers show that revolutions are not built in a day
Slum dwellers across Africa and Asia have used new tactics to achieve social justice and urban rights.
More patience, less protest: the new politics of the urban poor
A new book shows how poor urban communities across Africa and Asia have developed powerful new approaches that have enabled millions of people to get better housing and services, and —beyond this — social justice and inclusion in political processes.
TEDx Talk: A small change to aid, a big impact on urban poverty
One small change to how donors provide development aid could unlock the power of poor people in urban centres to address their own problems, says Dr David Satterthwaite, senior fellow in IIED's Human Settlements Group.
How does a changing climate impact on urban poverty?
When floods hit a city, usually low-income groups are hit hardest. The devastation that such disasters cause can be linked to the failure of city governments to manage growth and build infrastructure.
The real issue is universal access to affordable basic services
Why have global leaders endorsed partial Millennium Development Goal targets, asks Diana Mitlin, leaving millions without water, sanitation or healthcare?

Here's what the gallery has to say about it:
Metropolis II
BCAM, Level 1, West
January 14, 2012–Ongoing
Metropolis II is an intense and a complex kinetic sculpture, modeled after a fast paced, frenetic modern city. Steel beams form an eclectic grid interwoven with an elaborate system of 18 roadways, including one 6 lane freeway, and HO scale train tracks. Miniature cars speed through the city at 240 scale miles per hour; every hour, approximately 100,000 cars circulate through the dense network of buildings. According to Burden, "The noise, the continuous flow of the trains, and the speeding toy cars, produces in the viewer the stress of living in a dynamic, active and bustling 21st Century city."
"But wait, there's more..." - Yes, I cribbed much info from a very thorough Autoweek writeup...
This Hot Wheels aficionado's wet dream is a thundering 23 ft. long, 8 ft. wide and a full 10 ft. high. The "roadways" are actually small conveyor belts, with magnet spaced at regular intervals, while the cars (which are not "Hot Wheels" models) also have magnets on their underside which allow them to be pulled along.
The Autoweek article can be found at their website, http://www.autoweek.com, and is very long and thorough. Practically wants you want to book at trip to LA, even if we weren't "enjoying" January in Canada.

Released: 28/07/2016
eISBN: 9781785894701
Format: eBook
Une Vie de Chien: It's a Dog's Life is a light-hearted, beautifully illustrated book, focussing on animal-related phrases in French and English. If a French speaker says to you 'faire ça ou peigner la girafe', the literal meaning may cause you some confusion... They're not asking you to 'do this or comb a giraffe', but rather asking you to do this or some other pointless task – how would you know? Similarly, if someone says 'arriver comme un chien dans un jeu de quilles', they're saying 'to turn up when least wanted/ needed' rather than saying you've arrived like a dog in a game of skittles! Consisting of 68 useful phrases that are sure to confuse any speaker trying to learn French, Une Vie de Chien is an essential read for those wanting to learn successfully the French language, as well as readers who love animals.
"False Friends: Faux Amis: Book Two" is now available. If you enjoy exploring the highways and byways of French language and French culture this book is for you: a light-hearted look at the words that could trip up the unwary traveller. Although not a new concept, False Friends (foreign words and phrases that look like one thing but mean another) has not been tackled for some time, and this version is fresh and original.
Did you know that "assister" means to attend and not to assist? Or that "attendre" means to wait and not to attend? After reading this book you will be better equipped to deal with life across the English Channel or, as our near neighbours will insist on calling it, "La Manche" (the sleeve).
The booklet displays a love of language, and is in six helpful sections.

Since retiring from Senate House London University library, Ellie spends her time travelling in France, eating French food and reading French books. I think one could safely call her a Francophile.

iPod Nano is Cheaper and Cooler Than Ever with 1.2 Update
The coolest part of the revision to the iPod Nano might be the price point – now $130 for the 8 GB model and $150 for the 16 GB model. Lower prices for those looking to enter the world of Apple figured largely into the company's news conference today in Cupertino, with the iPod Nano announcements largely lost amid iPhone 4S news. Changes to the iPod Nano are largely incremental, but there were a few highlights that came out of the presentation.
A fun extra addition thrown into the new generation of the iPod Nano is a selection of sixteen different watch faces, for those who prefer to wear their Nano on their wrist, along with a strap. Most clock faces are standard fare, with the addition of Mickey Mouse and Muppets themed faces also in the mix.
The new iPod Nano will also come equipped with a pedometer out of the box, directed at those who buy the Nano as the ideal exercise companion. Multi touch, FM radio, and Genius support round out what looks to be a solid music player, with Apple banking on the lower price point drawing more interest. The new iPod Nano will roll out with the other newly announced Apple products on October 12th.

Standard Test Method for Autogenous Strain of Cement Paste and Mortar
|Publication Date:
|1 October 2009
|Page Count:
|ICS Code (Cement. Gypsum. Lime. Mortar):
This test method measures the bulk strain of a sealed cement paste or mortar specimen, including those containing admixtures, various supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), and other fine materials, at constant temperature and not subjected to external forces, from the time of final setting until a specified age. This strain is known as autogenous strain. Autogenous strain is most significant in concrete with low water-cementitious materials ratio (w/cm) (See Note 1).
NOTE 1-A low water-cementitious materials ratio (w/cm) can be considered to be a water to cement ratio of 0.40 or lower for this test.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. (Warning-Fresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures are caustic and may cause chemical burns to skin and tissue upon prolonged exposure.2)

Selection Sunday: Who's Playing Who In The Big Dance
Later on this week, we'll see some of the best basketball we may ever see, with all kinds of surprise teams eager to shock the world; but who's playing who and which team should look out for? Find out here.
First things first, if you want to watch the best basketball, tune in to any game in the Midwest region. Wichita State, Duke, Louisville, Kentucky, Michigan, UMass, and all other kinds of talent will be featured in Indianapolis, but of course, the buck doesn't stop there.
The Midwest region is easily the best, but there are some very intriguing matchups elsewhere. One of the first games that sticks out to me is Oklahoma State and Gonzaga; can Oklahoma State take the late-season momentum and make a run? The Bulldogs are a quality team and may not let that happen. That game takes place on the 21st in San Diego. Baylor and Nebraska is another juicy matchup down in San Antonio, while Colorado and Pittsburgh and UNC against Providence should be other good ones.
But where does the hardwood havoc begin?
I say it begins in San Diego when my very own alma mater Stephen F. Austin takes down a good VCU team. SFA went undefeated in Southland conference play, and capped off the season with a Southland championship over in-state rival Sam Houston State.
Other upsets I could easily see happening? A hungry Dayton team knocking off another in-state rival Ohio State, Manhattan downing Louisville, Arizona State stripping Texas of Sweet Sixteen dreams, and maybe even Xavier or NC State shocking a seemingly overrated Villanova team, borrowing they get past a tricky Milwaukee squad.
But who takes the cake and cuts the nets? Honestly, I don't think anyone can stop Wichita State, not even Florida. In fact I think that might just be the championship game.
We'll see what happens. Happy March and rock on, ladies and gents.

Incredibly versatile sound blocking material.
The Auralex SheetBlok Sound Barrier is a dense, limp-mass vinyl material that's about 6dB more effective than a sheet of solid lead at stopping sound transmission. SheetBlok acts as a thin, dense sound barrier layer in walls, ceilings, or floors. It's most effective when used as one component of a multi-layered construction scheme.
Auralex SheetBlok helps in soundproofing floors and walls and, while it's not normally considered a finishing product per se, it can in some cases be your last layer if you make sure to carefully install it and use trim strips over its seams. Auralex SheetBlok can also be used to wrap HVAC ducting, as a vent noise blocker, as a pipe noise insulator, or under carpet/carpet pad. It holds up against harsh environments and cuts easily with a utility knife or scissors. Famous studio designers buy SheetBlok Sound Barrier repeatedly.
- Thickness: 1/8"
- Weight: 1#/sq. ft.

State Of The Blogosphere Interview
Technorati released its annual State Of The Blogosphere report this past week. In it was a short interview they did with me about VCs and entrepreneurs who blog.
I like the way it came out so I figured I'd reblog it here.
Fred Wilson, managing partner of two venture capital firms and well known "VC blogger" at AVC.com, discusses the relationship between entrepreneurship and blogging, and what's next for blog-based businesses and the web.
You're one of the best know "VC bloggers." What originally motivated you to get involved in blogging, and how has it influenced your life and career?
I got into blogging because it was a new internet technology back in the early part of this decade and I wanted to understand it better. As I got into it, I realized it could help our business a lot by building a direct channel to entrepreneurs. It has allowed us to build a reputation as one of the best web-focused early stage venture firms.
What's your take on and advice to VC-backed entrepreneurs who publish blogs?
It's not easy for an entrepreneur to find the time to blog. But for those who do it, it is a great tool to communicate with the various stakeholders in their business and build a reputation for thought leadership.
Blog-based businesses and blog networks have seen a lot of activity over the last few years in terms of investment and acquisitions. Given the economic downturn, what does the future look like for blogs-as-businesses?
I think it's better than ever. Blog-based businesses have lower cost structures and are more "authentic" and as a result are drawing larger shares of ad budgets.
You're a passionate early adopter and experimenter with web applications in general and widgets on your blog in particular. What's turning you on these days?
Mobile apps and new commerce models.
What's your advice for aspiring professional bloggers?
Show up every day with something interesting to say and don't be afraid to speak your mind.

New Step by Step Roadmap for Brown University Campus
U of L is also renowned because of its successful athletics program. Eighth Grade is going to be the previous screening of IFF 2018. At Brown, a region of analysis is known as a concentration as opposed to a major.
Education in USA draws students not solely as it's the most developed country, but since it supplies the biggest quality of instruction. Cornell's campus comes with a gorgeous all-natural environment and its own campus is one of the greatest in the Ivy League. College is not only classes.
The Awful Secret of Brown University Campus
Last, you discovered that you needed to take where you're, which means you'd let yourself take small, achievable activities to boost some facet of your behaviour. Tell us a few of those things you are proud of. Actually, there are so many strategies to make this next step as there are people.
Contrary to what the majority of individuals think, Brown students are really friendly, easygoing individuals generally, in contrast to the stuffy typical Ivy League stereotype. Hughes' short stories reflect his whole purpose to get a writer. Men and women adore Victoria, they adore the narrative.
If you're seriously interested in making positive developments in your profession, now's the second. In reality, your very first year is your roughest year since you don't actually know any at all. If your kid will probably be taking the SAT or ACT, make certain order an essay
that you assist them obtain testing lodging if at all possible.
Brown University Campus
The building is a current structure which underwent a substantial renovation. A clientele in library is a body of consumers or sponsors that uses a library so as to get necessary information. The use of mobile repeaters and antennas provide the ideal mix.
I've discovered that Brown students are more comfortable with experimenting with several colours and patterns, together with mixing low and high brands. Schedule can also incorporate weekend changes.
There are a number of other things that these students could perform on a sunny Sunday morning, but they're here, attempting to connect to some larger energy, or perhaps simply on themselves, and requesting help for others. The jumpsuit is fleece and it owns an attached headpiece to keep to keep your kid's head hot. You'll also require this testing for your kid to request accommodations in college.
Please keep in mind that it's your obligation. While living in multi family housing might not be the perfect situation for a great deal of the tenants, it could be a means to prosperity for the individual collecting the lease. Feminine hygiene products aren't a luxury.
Online application is a good idea. However don't just stop there. At the start of each assembly would be the objectives for this specific session.
What's Actually Happening with Brown University Campus
I'd return back to learn more about the area around the campus. The buildings were created to house a fraternity on every end of this building, with independents dwelling from the rooms between. It has a lovely campus, excellent place, and probably the most caring and enthusiastic faculty you will ever aspire to look after.
Most Noticeable Brown University Campus
Aside from the entire social element to it, it will likewise serve you well with your classwork. The pursuit is a mountain biking place that is fairly standard. Actually, it's close.
Lies You've Been Told About Brown University Campus
Don't simply send the traditional default invitation as a number of us will wonder if you're just expecting to boost your number of contacts on social media websites to make yourself look good. If any region of the trail does not have this much memory, it is going to not be possible to achieve the bandwidth expectation. Although not each thing will relate to every individual's interests and desires, it's meant to be enjoyed as a cocktail hour taste a bit of this and a little quantity of this.
When signal strength is an issue, you must fix the issue or simply learn to survive this. During your work hunt, and also for the remainder of your profession, it is essential to maintain your relationships with each one of your connections. The very first chart shows what it looks in the direction that isn't being affected.
New Step by Step Roadmap for Brown University Campus
All significant engineering courses are provided by the University. The over-riding requirement of the Special library is the fact that it should offer current information that makes it possible for research workers and other companies to perform their duties efficiently. Our drivers give safe, trustworthy and effective transportation through campus to students and staff daily.
Tolerance for a variety of people, and also providing a welcoming, hospitable environment is vital to students' capacity to take advantage of their education. Independent-study arrangements permit students to come up with volunteer projects.

Brooke Mueller Threatened To Divorce Charlie & Take The Kids — PLUS His Family Begged Him Not To Go Away With Her!
How did actor Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller get to a point where he was allegedly holding a knife to her throat, choking her, and threatening to kill her? In the weeks leading up to the Dec. 24 blow-out, Radar Online reports that Brooke was in contact with a divorce lawyer.
Brooke rented a house in Aspen for three months, and took their twins, Max and Bob, with her. Charlie, the 44-year-old star of CBS hit show Two and a Half Men, went to meet her in Aspen to see the kids for Christmas — but things took a turn for the worse when the duo (who are both recovering from alcohol abuse) began drinking and arguing.
Despite the fact that sober coaches were present at their Christmas Eve dinner, Charlie said in his Affidavit to Aspen police, that Brooke "threatened to divorce him and take the children" before he allegedly threatened her with a knife. Police on the morning of Dec. 25, and Charlie was arrested on accounts of second degree assault, domestic violence, and criminal mischief.
When Brooke went to Aspen days before the incident, she didn't want Charlie to join her. In fact, Charlie's family also begged him not to go, reports E! Online. "Things have been bad for a while," reports E! "Sheen and Mueller got into an argument [in Aspen] about a month ago. Mueller threatened to call the police, but she didn't."

Hi fellow Evans fans, I was curious if reading The Horse Whisperer would be anything like the movie? Frequently people will say, that a book turned movie was nothing like the book. I am apprehensive, do tell, please. Renee

I am a huge follower of Evan' s works. And I have to say that The Loop is the best of all. The plot is very rich and emotionally grippping. Only Evans could provide this kind of novel. Can't wait to get my hands on The Divide..

I have never felt compelled to write to an author about his books, but I must do so now. I have enjoyed all 4 books immensely. They were so vivid in their descriptions , and the characters were very real and believable. I was sad when I finished each one, that the experience was over. Keep up the good work, Mr Evans, and lets have more books soon.

Hi If anyone has read the loop (Nichals Evans)the last sentance is about a sign saying "Hope (population 519)" and something bout three bullet holes. This must have some reflection of the novel but it's eating away at me of its relivence. If anyone could shed some light I would be grateful!!

My aunt is wanting to know if Nicholas Evans wrote the poem "Walk Within You" that's in his book, Smoke Jumper. If he didn't write the poem, who did? She loves the book and the poem. So do I.

Good Morning – I'm sharing free Easter Bunny cut files today. This post contains some affiliate links to products I use and recommend. I do make a very small commission if you make a purchase.
So far today has been easy going. This isn't something I can often say after I get my four kids ready and off to school. Our house is loud. We are all up in a hustle to get ready for the day and out the door. There are usually two kids bickering and at least one crying at some point in the thirty minutes we rush to get to the car. Believe it or not I was ten minutes early to work so in my book, I'm killing today.
I figured I'd take some down time to share the Easter Bunny cut files I put together last week. Hip hop down to the bottom of this post to download the files.
This mini Easter Bunny cut file bundle includes bunny ears, Easter eggs, a few different Easter bunny doodles and hand lettered words. I doodles all of these designs, scanned and then digitized them to be used as SVG and DXF files for Silhouette and Cricut machines. If you use another type of machine that uses DXF and SVG files you can use these too!
Here are some FAQs about the free files…
Can I use them for Commercial Use?
You can use these designs for personal OR commercial use. If you use them please, please tag me on social media because I would love to see your final products and share them with my followers too! You MAY NOT sell, alter or claim these designs as your own in any way.
What files types do these come in?
These files come in DXF and SVG. The files are below and I have them labeled. I use DXF for Silhouette and it opens right up but I know Cricut users need SVG. These will not automatically load into your library. Save them to a folder, open your software and then File>Open from the file you saved the files to.
What can I make with these cut files?
You can cut these files onto any medium you prefer and make SO MANY THINGS! Make mugs, cups, shirts, onesies, tote bags or basically whatever your heart desires. I recently shared where to buy blanks if you need some ideas. I personally cut adhesive and heat transfer vinyl 99% of the time and my favorite retailer is Happy Crafters because they share project ideas, coupon codes and have great prices!
How do I open the files in Cricut Design Space?
The cut file will be emailed to you in a ZIP file. Save it to a place on your computer and unzip the folder. Go to your Cricut Design Space and follow the step-by-step instructions for uploading designs to Cricut Design Space.
Enter your information below and you will prompted to save the cut files.
Enter your name and email so we know where to send the files. They will arrive in your inbox within minutes!

Co-Occurring Treatment
What Are Co-occurring Disorders?
People who have substance use disorders as well as mental health disorders are diagnosed as having co-occurring disorders, or dual disorders. This is also sometimes called a dual diagnosis.
Substance use disorder
A substance use disorder includes
alcohol or drug abuse
alcohol or drug dependence
Alcohol or drug abuse
is diagnosed when substance use interferes with functioning at work, at school, and in social relationships. It is also diagnosed when substance use creates or worsens a medical condition or when substance use occurs in dangerous situations.
Alcohol or drug dependence
is a more severe condition than alcohol or drug abuse. In addition to facing more negative consequences, people with dependence have failed in their attempts to abstain from or control their use of substances. In some cases, physiological dependence may also exist, which is indicated by heightened tolerance (needing more of a substance to get the same effect) and withdrawal (experiencing symptoms such as tremors or nausea when substance use has stopped).
Mental health disorders
Some of the most common mental health disorders found in chemically dependent people include mood- and anxiety disorders. An even higher percentage of people with severe mental illness also have co-occurring substance use disorders. Called severe because of the severity and length of episodes of illness, these mental health disorders include schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. (These latter two disorders with their symptoms of hallucinations or delusions are also sometimes called thought disorders.)
Click on the following groupings to find more information about these mental health disorders or click on the co-occurring disorder for printable information regarding their symptoms, causes and treatment:
Mood Disorders
Major Depression
Bipolar Disorder
evere Mental Illness
Schizoaffective Disorder
Anxiety-Related Disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Panic Disorder
Social Anxiety
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorde
Two entwined problems
Co-occurring disorders can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. Symptoms of substance abuse or addiction can mask symptoms of mental illness, and symptoms of mental illness can be confused with symptoms of addiction. People with mental health disorders sometimes do not address their substance use because they don't believe it is relevant to their problems.
However, some typical patterns do emerge among those with co-occurring disorders:
A worsening of mental health symptoms even while receiving treatment.
Those diagnosed with mental health disorders often use substances to feel better. People who are anxious may want something to make them feel calm; people who are depressed may want something to make them feel more animated; people who are fearful of others may want something to make them feel more relaxed and less inhibited; and people who are in psychological pain may want something to make them feel numb.
Using alcohol or other drugs not only fails to repair the mental health disorder but also prevents a person from developing effective coping skills, having satisfying relationships, and feeling comfortable with themselves. Alcohol also interferes with medications prescribed for mental health disorders. In short, drug and alcohol use makes mental health disorders worse.
Alcohol or substance use problems that seem resistant to treatment.
People with co-occurring disorders may stop using alcohol or other drugs, but they will find difficulties as the symptoms of their mental health disorders persist. Treatment centers and clinicians and addiction specialists may not be prepared to address both conditions. And some traditional peer recovery groups may insist on abstinence from all drugs - even medications prescribed for mental health disorders. As a result, people with co-occurring disorders find it very difficult to treat their substance-use problems without also treating their mental health disorders.
Integrated Treatment
Although in the past, mental health disorders and addiction problems were often treated separately, we now know that co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders impact one another and must be treated together. Treating just one disorder will not cause the other to automatically improve. And separate, parallel care for the disorders does not result in one, effective treatment plan. To be effective, both disorders must be treated at the same time, in the same place, by the same treatment team. This is called integrated treatment.
How Common Are Co-occurring Disorders?
Being diagnosed with a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder is often referred to as having a dual diagnosis. The disorders together are called dual disorders or co-occurring disorders. Co-occurring disorders are common among people seeking treatment in the mental health or addiction treatment settings.
Although people with this diagnosis may not have received treatment for both disorders, co-occurring disorders are, in fact, common. In a 1990 survey of over 20,000 U.S. adults, over half (53%) of those with a drug use disorder also had a co-occurring mental health disorder. A little over a third (37%) with an alcohol use disorder also had a psychiatric disorder (Regier et al. 1990). Among people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, the rates of co-occurring disorders appear to be even higher. About half of people with these diagnoses also have substance use disorders. According to the 2006 National Survey of Drug Use and Health, 5.6 million people in the United States have co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.
Causes of co-occurring disorders
There appear to be genetic risk factors for substance use and certain mental health disorders, but genes alone cannot explain all cases of these disorders. Scientists cannot fully explain why some people develop mental health disorders and others do not. One theory that has received support is the
stress-vulnerability model.
This model holds that both stress and biological vulnerability work together to contribute to symptoms of mental illness.
Biological vulnerability refers to a tendency to develop a condition. People are born with or acquire this sensitivity very early in life. Vulnerability also refers to what a person has been exposed to early in life, such as exposure to a virus in the womb. Stress or environmental factors can trigger the onset of symptoms. "Stress" refers to the challenges faced in our lives. It is affected by our coping skills, social support, and involvement in meaningful activities.
People with a mental health disorder may be more biologically sensitive to the effects of substances. They may also use substances to cope with symptoms or facilitate social connections. In general, people who have a mental health disorder are at much greater risk of also having a substance use disorder.
It is not known why people become addicted to a certain substance and not another. Some research indicates that access and exposure to substances may be the most important reason. That is, the substances people have access to determine the type of substance use disorder they are likely to develop.
Effective treatment
In traditional care, mental health disorders and addiction problems are often treated separately. We now know that co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders impact one another and must be treated together. For care to be effective, both disorders must be treated at the same time, in the same place, by the same treatment team. This is called integrated treatment.
Integrated treatment can stabilize the symptoms of co-occurring disorders and provide the foundation for lasting recovery from substance use and psychiatric disorders. A variety of treatment approaches are used in treating co-occurring disorders. These include treatment for substance use and mental health disorders, client education, shared decision making between client and caregivers, peer support, training in coping skills, and recovery support.
Integrated Treatment is Most Effective Approach
Research shows that an integrated approach to treating co-occurring disorders results in the best possible patient outcomes.
The integrated treatment model addresses the problem of access by ensuring that one visit, in one setting, is sufficient to receive treatment for both disorders. It addresses the problem of combining messages and philosophies by giving this responsibility clearly to the treatment provider instead of the client.
Key features
Integrated treatment is now considered an evidence-based practice because it has been shown through multiple randomized controlled trials to be more effective than other approaches. There are several key features of integrated treatment services:
Shared Decision Making
Shared decision making is a systematic approach to client-centered care that involves the client explicitly in the treatment process. In this approach, clients with co-occurring disorders decide what goals they want to pursue, how they want to proceed with treatment, and what their path to dual recovery will be.;
Integration of Services
When both mental health and substance use services are provided by the same person or team, the client has one treatment plan, one set of goals, and one relapse plan. The need for communication across agencies disappears.
People with co-occurring disorders typically have multiple needs. Having two illnesses can be demoralizing and can reduce a person's basic psychosocial supports. Co-occurring disorders programs, therefore, must have access to an array of services. These include, among others:
Case management
Supported employment
Family psychoeducation
Social skills training
Illness management
Pharmacological treatment
Assertive Community Outreach
Many people with co-occurring disorders do not come into mental health centers to seek treatment on their own. They might be on the streets, in homeless shelters, in police custody, or in jail or prison. Assertive community outreach that uses specific engagement strategies is necessary to connect them to the help they need.
Reduction of Negative Consequences
Before people are ready to completely stop using substances, they are often willing to take some smaller steps to reduce some of the harmful consequences of their use.
When people make progress on some of these [harm reduction] goals, they become more motivated to control their substance and mental health disorders. Some professionals argue that this approach enables an addicted person to continue to use and add that, because of this enabling, addicted persons will never experience the pain of their use and "hit bottom" so they can truly recover. For people with co-occurring disorders, however, not attending to the negative consequences of addiction often leads to death. Taking positive steps often increases motivation for recovery.
Long-term Perspective
People with co-occurring disorders recover at varying rates. Research shows that some begin to manage their illnesses in a matter of months. Unfortunately, many people enter recovery gradually, over many years. This long-term perspective means that we must be accepting of different paths. We must never give up. We must accept that recovery can be a life-long journey.
Motivation-based Treatment
To effectively address a client's co-occurring disorders, treatment must target the client's stage of motivation for recovery. The idea of stages of treatment means that there are different interventions for different stages. The stages of motivation-based treatment are engagement, persuasion, active treatment, and relapse prevention.
Multiple Psychotherapeutic Interventions
People with co-occurring disorders typically have multiple needs. Like everyone, they also have their own unique preferences and values. Needs, preferences, and values all influence their goals. Interventions, therefore, must be highly individualized and tailored to each client. Most clients engage in multiple interventions at the same time. For example, two young clients with schizophrenia and cocaine abuse could easily have different interventions. Person A might be bothered more by the interaction of schizophrenia and cocaine abuse and require residential dual diagnosis treatment plus attendance in Narcotics Anonymous. Person B might be bothered more by family problems and past trauma and need trauma intervention and family psychoeducation. Both might need supported employment.

Gaya nga ng sabi ni Cacai Bautista " porket bah ganito itsura ko hindi na ako pwede makipagkaibigan ng hollywood at wala ng magkakagusto sa akin na gwapo" Si Maja Salvador mismo ang nagbunyag na si Cacai Bautista ay inlove na nga kay Mario Maurer.
A couple of months before, comedienne Cacai Bautista was rumored to be linked to Thai heartthrob Mario Maurer due to the apparently loving photographs of the two of them together. Cacai was unyielding that there was not anything going on between her and the actor, who she contacted while filming the movie abruptly It's Magic. although, actress Maja Salvador, who is one of Cacai's nearest associates, disclosed on the June 9 episode of Gandang Gabi Vice that her pal has dropped in love with Mario.
"Oo, may pag-iyak, may pag-waling kasi lumabas ang isyu (Yes, she bawled when the topic came out)," Maja was cited as saying in an item on ABS-CBNNews.com.
"Nag-worry lang ako," Cacai said about why she chose to not reveal her sentiments. "Iniingatan ko din si Kuya, worried lang ako (I was concerned. I don't desire him to get hurt.)."
When the rumors first came out, Cacai had accepted that she was injure by accusations that she was only utilising Mario so she can be more well liked.
"Kasi 'yung mga tao... porke't ba komedyante na chaka [pangit], hindi na puwedeng magkaroon ng kaibigan na sikat na superstar, na worldwide star?" Cacai was cited by PEP.ph as saying, in an interview on Showbiz Inside Report. "Siya lang 'yung nagpatunay na wala talagang pinipili 'yung totoong pagkakaibigan, kahit ano ka pa. Marami akong kaibigan, pero di ba, sino ba mag-aakala na ako lang, si Cacai lang [ang magiging kaibigan ni Mario] (Just because you're an ugly comedienne, does that signify you can't have a friend who's a well known worldwide superstar? He's the only one who verified that real friends don't judge you founded on looks, I have a alalalalallotmentmentmentmentment of friends, but who would have considered that I'm the only one, that Cacai's the one who will become Mario's friend?)."
Good Luck to Cacai Bautista huwag ka maniwala sa mga taong nakapaligid sayo dahila ng tunay na pag-ibig walang pinipiling mukha as long as mahal niyo ang isa't isa handa niyo itong harapin at ipaglaban ang inyong pagmamahalan.
