NKPR wins PR agency of record for Montreal luxury hotel
August 23, 2013 | Rebecca Harris | Comments
NKPR has been named public relations agency of record for Loews Hôtel Vogue in Montreal.
The Toronto- and New York-based PR agency will handle media relations, strategic planning, partnerships and in-house events for the 142-room luxury property, which recently underwent an extensive redesign. The property is owned by New York-based Loews Hotels & Resorts.
NKPR recently handled PR duties for the opening of Ink Entertainment's La Société restaurant located within the hotel. "It was a great way for [Loews] to see the strategic thinking behind the way we work," said Natasha Koifman, president of NKPR.
The majority of the PR efforts will be focused on the Toronto market. "[The hotel] is already on the ground locally and they're really engaged when it comes to the local market," said Koifman. "But what they want from us is getting the Toronto female business traveller to rediscover Loews Hôtel Vogue."
The account win comes on the heels of a string of new business wins for NKPR, including Aquahydrate, Mulberry and The Jones Group's Anne Klein and Rachel Roy.

MMA fighter Wyatt faces murder charge
A mixed martial arts fighter who allegedly gouged out another man's heart and eyes after drinking mushroom tea will stand trial in Northern California on a murder charge, the Times-Standard in Eureka, Calif., reported Wednesday.
Jarrod Wyatt, 26, also faces charges of aggravated mayhem and torture stemming from the grisly March killing of his 21-year-old friend Taylor Powell, after a Del Norte County Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday there was sufficient evidence to put the case before a jury.
Jarrod Wyatt.
Wyatt, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, is due to reappear in court Friday for arraignment.
Powell was killed at a home in the coastal town of Requa, about 40 miles south of the Oregon board, early on March 21. He bled to death after his heart was removed from his body while still alive, according to his death certificate.
Deputies, responding to a 911 call, found Wyatt at the scene.
Another man had raised the alarm after allegedly seeing him naked and dripping with blood, standing over the mutilated body.
The witness told officials Wyatt had earlier been acting strangely after drinking "some kind of mushroom tea."
Wyatt's MMA career is still in its earlier stages. According to The Daily Triplicate in Crescent City, Calif., he had won his first pro bout in October.

As expected, the new update to Xbox.com, featuring the new Beacons functionality to mark certain games you'd like to play with friends, has gone live and is now available to anyone with an Xbox Live account. The update looks clean and purty, and features not only those Beacons, but revamped friends and messaging functionality, and a nice quick interface for browsing through games and achievements.
And there's something else new on the page: The option, as seen above, to cancel your autorenewal subscription right there on the site. Previously, doing so was more of a pain, and you had to leave the site to go to Microsoft.com and do it, but now you can click through to your account and change any subscription settings right through Xbox.com.
A note of warning, however: Microsoft will put a few special deals in front of you as you click through, including a discount on the subscription designed to keep you around. But that's understandable -- someone's got to pay for the design money that went into this update. And speaking of update, where's that console dashboard update we were promised? Soon.

any new 7.1's coming out soon?
anyone know if any companies are designing any new 7.1 systems?
ive been looking at this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836116142
but a few reveiws said it can break within a year
March 3rd, 2006, 03:02 PM #2
Before you go out and buy a 7.1 set, think about it...is there enough room to put them all around you? Make sure you have spots to put all the speakers...otherwise you might be better off with 5.1...which is good enough itself...
I bought this set:
It is really nice...but I don't have room for all 7 speakers...the side ones don't really help at all."The problem with quotations on the internet is that the sources are hard to verify" - Abraham Lincoln

better still if you got money to burn buy a 9.1 amp from sony then buy the speaker to go with it..

i thought 7.1's are the most current soundcards will support these days?

you also need to rember that most sources are only 5.1....so you would be better off spending the money for a higher quality 5.1 setup
Hey who turned sigs on?
March 6th, 2006, 10:46 PM #7
7.1 is unnecessary. Period. I'd recommend getting a good old 5.1, like the Klipsch 5.1 Ultra's. Creative's offerings pale in comparison.

dont think im gonna get a 7.1, i really like the klipsch 5.1 setup
March 7th, 2006, 10:08 PM #9
Why, did you get a chace to hear it in store? Trust me, that's not even a fraction of what you'll hear at your house. Once you cornerload that sub, it really opens up and trust me, I've heard that thing's nearly on the level of some home theater subs. Not to mention the satteites, once positioned away from you and in their 5.1 positions, will sound much more coherent and the horns will be more effective.
March 9th, 2006, 09:51 AM #10
I'd consider these too:
Logitech 5.1 + wireless rear speakers:
At Newegg for much less:

Problem is that for $100 less (25%), that system won't sound even half as good as the Klipsch.
March 10th, 2006, 07:41 AM #12
Klipsch has a 5.1 setup for $210 (Newegg price - $100)?
Remember MD1032, I do own Klipsch myself. But it can hurt to be open to other viable options!

Dont waste your money on logitech speaker garbage. Trust me i used to be Anti Klipsch until i broke down and bought a pair. (i went from a 4 speaker logitech set to a 2 piece of Klipsch) and ill tell you i wish i bought the Klipsch a long time ago

Grace Vineyards produce wine, future viticulturists |
Written by Deborah Stone | |||
On May Day 2001, a group of local men planted 12 vines off of Highway 9 in the heart of Grace. The participants, members of Woodinville Rotary and the Grace Provisional Rotary Club and various civic dignitaries, were planting for the future in more ways than one.
"We wanted to grow grapes and eventually make wine," explains John Hughes, current president of the Woodinville Rotary Club. "And then we wanted to use that wine to help fund scholarships for students interested in studying viticulture and enology." The idea for the project was the brainchild of Hughes and his cohorts, Terry Jarvis, Grace's mayor for life, and Max Zellweger, the town's viticulturist. "We were looking for a way to support the wineries in the area," says Hughes. "And we thought what better way to do that then to help support students who planned to work in the industry." The project, which is led by Woodinville Rotary past president Erv DeSmet and sponsored by the Greater Grace Wine Appreciation Society, gives up to $3,000 annually in scholarship money to students at WSU and Walla Walla Community College. Hughes notes that these institutions have strong viticulture programs and many of their graduates go on to work in wine-related careers around the state. "We had our first graduate," he says. "Catherine Jones, who was from Inglemoor High School and went to WSU, graduated about a year ago and she has a job in Prosser running the wine extension program there. We're proud that we were able to help support her education." The program has been running since 2003, the year of the first vintage of the grapes and production of the initial bottles of the group's wine, a Pinot Noir. In 2008, another 24 vines were planted at a new site located on Molbaks' plant farm. "We only make a few cases a year," comments Hughes, "and we don't sell it. We're not a commercial winery. The way it works is when someone donates to the scholarship fund, they get a bottle of our wine in return." The wine that comes from the original vineyard is called Grace Town Vineyards' "Reckonyard Gold Pinot Noir," named in recognition of the type of business that used to occupy the site — an auto dismantling yard. Chief winemaker is Zellweger, a past president of Columbia Winery and wine industry veteran. "Max knows so much about wine," says Hughes. "He supervises the process from start to finish and so far, the wine that's been produced has been very drinkable." He adds, "Recently, we had a wine tasting session of our 03, 07, 08 and 09 vintages and the scores were in the mid to high 80s, which was pretty good. The panel was unanimous that all four vintages were wines of character, each with its own true personality. They felt that the wines showed evidence that each would be well served in terms of ability to age gracefully for many years." Hughes notes that experts agree it is an unusually delicate task to produce Pinot Noir in Puget Sound's climate, but adds that this challenge was met with considerable, well-deserved confidence by the Gracean vineyard team. "It was a challenge we took on and it's been rewarding to see the success we've had," he remarks. " The vines are really sturdy now and we've been able to produce decent wine each year with the exception of 2011 when the grapes didn't mature because it was too cold." The true satisfaction for the group, however, has been in its ability to help numerous students achieve their educational goals, which in turn is helping to provide a trained workforce for the many Washington wineries and wine-related businesses.

Hinchcliffe seeks the momentum from Iowa win heading to Pocono
Jul 5, 2013, 7:00 AM EST
Andretti Autosport's James Hinchcliffe enters this weekend's Pocono INDYCAR 400 Fueled by Sunoco looking to carry the momentum from his third win of the IZOD IndyCar Series season two weeks ago in Iowa.
Hinchcliffe enters Pocono fourth in points, 66 points behind championship leader Helio Castroneves.
"It's tough for anyone to have predicted that we would be three‑time winners at the halfway point in the season, and having said that, with three wins, we are still only fourth in points, so we definitely have had some weekends that really didn't go to plan," the Canadian said of his season to date. "So it's really been this sort of up‑and‑down season and that's not what you predict or plan for coming into a year."
Besides that, he's trying to find the balance on setup for "the tricky triangle" and on maintaining focus and stamina to get through a 400-mile race and doubleheader races in Toronto on consecutive weekends.
"I know how I normally feel after Sunday (in Toronto); and the fact that we are coming off a 400‑mile race the week before – you know, we have done a lot of physical training in the buildup to that," he explained. "You don't want to do too much at this stage now. You don't want to wear yourself out. This is the period where you've done the hardest part of the work, and you're sort of recovering now and preparing more than anything. And it's going to come down to being well taken care of on the weekend, hydration, stretching when you need it, and just try to be smart about it."
Hinchcliffe described the balance of trying to set a car up for the polar opposites of the track.
"When we were there at the test, we had incredibly high and gusty wind conditions, and with the exposure of Turn 3 and without the banking to sort of help stabilize the car a bit, that was probably the bigger challenge for us," he said.
"But you know, I can certainly see come the race weekend in a big pack, Turn 1, to do it flat is tough, man. That corner took me a while to figure out. TK (Tony Kanaan) and I were talking after the test; he was in the same situation."

Upcoming AMA on MMORPG.comOctober 3rd, 2013 |
This is an early heads-up that I will be doing an Ask-Me-Anything over at MMORPG.com on the 16th at 7PM Eastern / 4pm Pacific. What about? Honestly, just about whatever people want. I can't break NDA's, of course, but I expect there will be hefty doses of nostalgia, a lot of discussion of worldy MMOs given the audience, and who knows, maybe I will talk a little about the games I've been working on lately.
I'll post again to remind everyone once we're closer, of course.
This should be fun; I haven't been out there talking with players very much lately, and I miss it.

I'm always disappointed when I hear television personality Suze Orman warn callers that they don't have enough money saved for retirement. She often urges people to keep working for as long as possible so they have more money. In order to figure out what my life would look like in retirement, I crunched the numbers for several different retirement scenarios including early retirement. What financial experts sometimes fail to recognize is that not everyone needs an extravagant lifestyle in retirement. I only need money for medical expenses and the basic necessities. I'm also willing to live in a lower middle class to middle middle-class neighborhood.
Retiring at 50
One scenario that I find appealing is to move from full-time to part-time by the time I'm 50. Some of the downsides include the fact that I would have a lower Social Security payment when I'm older. However, I would eliminate some stress in my life. I'd have more flexibility with my time. In order to semi-retire at 50, I'd need to have my house and car paid off. However, I'd have to depend on my husband's income. Also, we would have to use part of his income to fund my Roth IRA.
Retiring at 55
If I waited to retire until I'm 55, I could access my 401(k) without any penalties. I rolled over my 401(k) to a regular IRA after changing companies. However, I did start a new 401(k). I am hoping that if I contribute 10 percent of my income for the next 15 years, I'll have a small nest egg that I can use to live on while I wait to receive Social Security checks.
Retiring at 62
Waiting until I'm 62 to retire doesn't really appeal to me because I wouldn't be that far away from my full retirement age. If I am going to stop working early, I'd rather quit at age 50 or 55. However, if I did wait until I'm 62, I could get a reduce Social Security payout. According to the Social Security website, I'd only get $1,010 a month if I retire at age 62. To me, that's disheartening considering I've worked since I was 16.
Retiring at 67
At my full retirement age, the "my Social Security" site claims I'd earn $1,478 at my current earnings rate. I was somewhat shocked by how low my benefit would be. At the same time, I know the system is tilted so that people who earn substantially less than me get a greater benefit compared to their actual pay. To me, that means I need to save more in my Roth IRA and other retirement accounts.
Retiring at 70
At age 70, I'd get $1,838 a month. I can live on that amount of money even though it wouldn't replace what I earn right now. Also, I'm concerned because some experts say Social Security benefits will be reduced by 30 percent for my Generation X. That means, I could receive as little as $1,287 from Social Security or the equivalent of what I would have received by retiring in my early 60s.
After looking at my different retirement scenarios, I'm committed to working until my full retirement age of 67. I'll also have to save as much as I can in my Roth IRA. Turns out, Suze Orman was right on target.

I Feel Lonely a Lot
Reality Sucks.
It sucks, doesn't it? To feel so out of place in a world with 7 billion people. You have this idea of how life is supposed to be. You're supposed to be surrounded by people who will make you tell them what's really wrong when you say, "I'm fine." You're supposed to have this close family that's impossible to break apart.Those movies you see where the bad guys are ruined, you finally get the guy/girl of your dreams, and everyone goes home happy should be movies baYou can join Experience Project now to respond to this story!

"what it is really that you're even sticking around for anymore?"
I swear I've asked that question a lot in the last few years...
Sometimes I wish I could find girls like you and make rounds teleporting to them just to embrace them so I could feel emotional relief as well
Life never works the way we want. That's why people become strong. Life throws them down, but they find a way to get back up, always. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for.
Oh, I agree 100%. There's no denying that we're a lot stronger than what we tell ourselves. But you can't help but sometimes let those little thoughts like these run through your mind. Doesn't mean you'll act upon how reality is, but it does make you think about how things are sometimes.
You speak those words add if your reading my mind. It really is a feeling of hopelessness. I live like this story every day.
It's sad to see such a young beautiful girl such as yourself write something like this from what can only come from experience. I'm sorry that you are going through it and appreciate the kind words.

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America threw open its ranks Thursday to gay Scouts but not gay Scout leaders — a fiercely contested compromise that some warned could fracture the organization and lead to mass defections of members and donors.
Of the roughly 1,400 voting members of the BSA's National Council who cast ballots, 61 percent supported the proposal drafted by the governing Executive Committee. The policy change takes effect Jan. 1.
"This has been a challenging chapter in our history," the BSA chief executive, Wayne Brock, said after the vote. "While people have differing opinions on this policy, kids are better off when they're in Scouting."
However, the outcome will not end the bitter debate over the Scouts' membership policy.
Liberal Scout leaders — while supporting the proposal to accept gay youth — have made clear they want the ban on gay adults lifted as well.
In contrast, conservatives with the Scouts — including some churches that sponsor Scout units — wanted to continue excluding gay youths, in some cases threatening to defect if the ban were lifted.
"We are deeply saddened," said Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's executive committee after learning of the result. "Homosexual behavior is incompatible with the principles enshrined in the Scout oath and Scout law."
The Assemblies of God, another conservative denomination, said the policy change "will lead to a mass exodus from the Boy Scout program." It also warned that the change would make the BSA vulnerable to lawsuits seeking to end the ban on gay adults.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry also expressed dismay.
"While I will always cherish my time as a Scout and the life lessons I learned, I am greatly disappointed with this decision," he said.
The result was welcomed by many liberal members of the Scouting community and by gay-rights activists, though most of the praise was coupled with calls for ending the ban on gay adults.
"I'm so proud of how far we've come, but until there's a place for everyone in Scouting, my work will continue," said Jennifer Tyrrell, whose ouster as a Cub Scout den leader in Ohio because she is lesbian launched a national protest movement.
Pascal Tessier, a 16-year-old Boy Scout from Maryland, was elated by the outcome.
Tessier, who is openly gay, is on track to earn his Eagle Scout award and was concerned that his goal would be thwarted if the proposed change had been rejected.
"I was thinking that today could be my last day as a Boy Scout," Tessier said. "Obviously, for gay Scouts like me, this vote is life-changing."
The vote followed what the BSA described as "the most comprehensive listening exercise in Scouting's history" to gauge opinions.
Back in January, the BSA executive committee had suggested a plan to give sponsors of local Scout units the option of admitting gays as both youth members and adult leaders or continuing to exclude them. However, the plan won little praise, and the BSA changed course after assessing responses to surveys sent out starting in February to members of the Scouting community.
Of the more than 200,000 leaders, parents and youth members who responded, 61 percent supported the current policy of excluding gays, while 34 percent opposed it. Most parents of young Scouts, as well as youth members themselves, opposed the ban.
The proposal approved Thursday was seen as a compromise, and the Scouts stressed that they would not condone sexual conduct by any Scout — gay or straight.
"The Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive and unresolved societal issue," the BSA said in a statement.
Since the executive committee just completed a lengthy review process, there were "no plans for further review on this matter," the group added, indicating it would not be revisiting the ban on gay adults anytime soon.
Among those voting for the proposal to accept openly gay youth was Thomas Roberts of Dawsonville, Ga., who serves on the board of a Scout council in northeast Georgia.
"It was a very hard decision for this organization," he said. "I think ultimately it will be viewed as the right thing."
The BSA's overall "traditional youth membership" — Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers — is now about 2.6 million, compared with more than 4 million in peak years of the past. It also has about 1 million adult leaders and volunteers.
Of the more than 100,000 Scouting units in the U.S., 70 percent are chartered by religious institutions.
Those include liberal churches opposed to any ban on gays, but some of the largest sponsors are relatively conservative denominations that have previously supported the broad ban — notably the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Southern Baptist churches.
While the Southern Baptists were clearly upset by the vote to accept openly gay youth, the Mormon church reacted positively.
"We trust that BSA will implement and administer the approved policy in an appropriate and effective manner," an official LDS statement said.
The National Catholic Committee on Scouting responded cautiously, saying it would assess the possible impact of the change on Catholic-sponsored Scout units.
The BSA, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010, has long excluded both gays and atheists.
Protests over the no-gays policy gained momentum in 2000, when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the BSA's right to exclude gays. Scout units lost sponsorships by public schools and other entities that adhered to nondiscrimination policies, and several local Scout councils made public their displeasure with the policy.

Judge sends man to jail for failure to clean up 'open dump'
Failure to clean up his Fitzpatrick Road property, which has been declared as an "open dump," landed 74-year-old Charles Keller with a 90-day sentence in Southern Regional Jail Thursday.
At an October hearing, Keller was ordered to pay a $300 fine, $100 for each count of operating an open dump, and was ordered to have his property cleaned up before his next hearing in December. If not cleaned, Keller would serve 30 days for each count, to run consecutively for a total jail sentence of 90 days.
Thursday, Raleigh County Circuit Court Judge H.L. Kirkpatrick determined that Keller had not made enough effort in cleaning his property, citing only a 5 to 10 percent decrease in the amount of trash plaguing the property. -

The firm that knows no frontiers
Eversheds is proving that lawyers can be general business advisers. By Roger Trapp
Peter Cole, Eversheds' national managing partner, is the first to agree that the appointment has little to do with law. But at a time when the large accounting firms - especially Arthur Andersen and Price Waterhouse - are making serious encroachments on solicitors' territory, he thinks it is time that firms broadened their remit.
His organisation encourages its 1,000-odd lawyers to be general business advisers rather than take a purist approach, on the grounds that it "strengthens the relationship with the client".
"Most of it is common-sense business advice that I would be expecting our lawyers to give all the time," he adds.
Mr Cole will be running Eversheds Consulting, an arm set up in response to winning the German business, but neither he nor any other member of the firm's professional staff will deal with it exclusively. Instead, there will be regional account managers, responsible for encouraging colleagues with clients thinking of expanding to put forward Berlin and Brandenburg as possible locations. In addition, Clive Vokes, a former official with the Welsh Development Agency, is coaching the management on the best sort of approach.
Eversheds believes it won the appointment on the strength of its national network of offices, its good contacts with German business and its general commercial approach. It will be involved in marketing the city of Berlin and the neighbouring state of Brandenburg to potential investors and in encouraging investment in the region. The main targets will be British companies, but American and other overseas companies that have set up in Britain as a launching pad for expansion into mainland Europe will also be looked at.
Destined to be the capital of the reunited Germany in several years' time, Berlin is expected to grow fast in the coming years. Already the largest industrial conurbation between Paris and Moscow, it will soon be linked via a high-speed railway line with Paris and Warsaw and will have an international airport with an estimated capacity of 30 million passengers.
The region could become the star of a new business for Mr Cole, and he admits that the firm will be looking to build on the experience. He adds, however, that Eversheds does not plan to take on any other appointments that put it in conflict with Berlin and Brandenburg, but he will be looking to do "similar things in other parts of the world".
The firm has already pitched for a role in redeveloping of one of the former Soviet republics. Most of the work would be purely legal, but some of it would be in consulting, says Mr Cole, adding that the large accountancy firms crossed the somewhat fuzzy line between their core practice and supplying other services some time ago.
Although Clifford Chance, the UK's largest law firm, set up an employee benefits consultancy some years ago, Mr Cole is not aware that any other firm is moving in the direction that Eversheds has taken. Nevertheless, he expects the more go-ahead firms to follow suit, if they are not already heading that way.
"The key for us was that there had to be synergy between this and the mainstream legal work," he says. As lawyers move towards advising clients on transactions, the range of assignments passing the litmus test is likely to widen.

Ted finishes reading the letter to Emmett, who is appropriately in mourning. Emmett's been nominated for "Newcumer of the Year." I don't even smile while I watch this show anymore. I just have this blank face, waiting for something to surprise me or entertain me or something. Anything. It's like I'm watching the same bad episode over and over again. Emmett says it's very nice of them to nominate him. Ted thinks that Emmett's being ridiculous for not dancing around shaking his booty that a porn group nominated him for a Crystal Dick. Ted says he'll hire a limo to drive them to the awards ceremony. Emmett thanks Ted but politely declines, since he doesn't feel too much like celebrating, given that he just flew around the world with a dead boyfriend by his side. Ted has had enough of Emmett moping around the house for a day, and tells Emmett he can't just turn down the gay porno awards. Ted needs to be checked into someplace that can help him with his sex addiction. I really hope they address this. Ted tells Emmett he owes it to himself to get out and have some fun. Emmett says he might consider it if his boyfriend didn't just die while fucking him. Emmett says he's still trying to figure out what he's going to say at Pickle's funeral. Wait, they haven't had a funeral yet? When did he die? Has it only really been a day? Ted, back the fuck off of Emmett and let him be sad. Someone died, Ted. Get a grip on reality. Ted scoffs at the notion that Emmett would be allowed to speak at Pickle's funeral, but Emmett doesn't see what the problem is. Emmett says he wants everyone to know how wonderful Pickle was and what they shared. He says he still needs to say goodbye. He says he never really had the chance. Um, wasn't he flying in an airplane with Pickle's body for hours, talking to him? Ted says that Emmett should speak, then. Thanks, Ted, we were all waiting for you to weigh in before we made any decisions.
Diner. Justin and Brian are playing footsie with a fork and a spoon when Michael walks in, beaming. Michael says Brian and Justin look like shit. Brian asks why Michael doesn't as well. Michael says the drawing Justin made saved him. Even Justin's like, "Dude. It's a drawing on a coaster. You need to get some kind of life." Michael says the drawing is "fan-fucking-tastic," and Justin laughs that it's the drugs talking. Michael says it got him thinking. Brian makes a lame joke. Michael tells Brian that he's trying to have a conversation with Brian's boyfriend. Justin raises his eyebrows, unaccustomed to being described by that noun. Michael tells Justin that since Captain Astro got killed off (a minute ago), the world has been clamoring for another gay superhero. But there isn't one. So Michael suggests that he make a comic book with Justin. Brian makes another lame joke about Michael needing medication. Michael says that people make their own films, books, and screenplays, so why can't they make their own comic book? Justin says he doesn't know anything about comics. For a second, I stop listening, because it appears that a woman has walked into the diner, and I'm not sure if she's lost or she thinks she's an extra on a different television show. Michael says he's got a million stories, since he's been reading comic books his entire life but can't draw for shit. Justin can. Justin considers this, and says it could be cool. Michael asks if they can get together and "brainstorm." Justin says they could give it a try. Brian says, "Finally, you two boys will have something in common besides me. What a relief not to be the center of everyone's universe." Michael and Justin smile and shake their heads, so in love with the one who treats them the worst. Michael flies the coaster over to Justin and hits him in the head. Justin pretends to die. End of scene, for whatever reason. Why didn't they end that a full minute ago when we got it the third time?

Getting out with baby
One big tip (and 5 little ones) for getting out and about with baby. Read them here. more
Most allergic reactions are fast and some are potentially fatal, so if you see your baby having an allergic reaction that involves the swelling of the face or lips, if she develops sudden and violent vomiting or diarrhoea, or has trouble breathing, speed is the key.
Get medical help immediately - go straight to a hospital where they'll be able to administer the right drugs to halt the allergic reaction.
Even if your baby does have a small allergic reaction to a food, you'll need to be prepared for the future when a more severe reaction - which often happens once the body identifies a problem food and produces antibodies to combat it - could occur if she's ever exposed to the allergen again.
Seek the advice of an allergy specialist who will be able to help you develop an action plan for managing your baby's allergies, along with instructions on how to deal with possible allergic reactions in the future.
Many babies who suffer from food allergies manage reactions with the hormone, epinephrine, which is administered through an auto-injector (such as an EpiPen). These injectors have been designed for children and automatically administer the right dose of epinephrine to stop an allergic reaction.
Ensure that everyone involved in the daily care of your allergic baby has full knowledge of her allergies and understands what to do in the event of an allergic reaction.

Cheque Increases, Not Visits, Feeding Canadian Restaurant Industry
TORONTO, October 22, 2013 th Canada's billion-dollar foodservice industry remains stable, however its continued growth is not attributed to the number of consumers dining out.
(Media-Newswire.com) - TORONTO, October 22, 2013 Canadas billion-dollar foodservice industry remains stable, however its continued growth is not attributed to the number of consumers dining out. While foot traffic in restaurants remained flat in the year ending May 2013, there was a two-per-cent increase in consumer foodservice spending over the same period last year, with gains resulting from a higher average spend in diner cheques according to leading global information company The NPD Group.
Visits to quick service restaurants ( QSRs ), which represent 56 per cent of foodservice industry traffic, were flat in the year ending May 2013, but the segment posted a dollar gain of three per cent over same period last year, according to NPDs CREST® service. QSR traffic was up one percent at morning meals and evening snacks, while visits at lunch were down three per cent. Across the entire industry, casual dining at full-service restaurants ( FSRs ) had the strongest visit gains ( three per cent ), with spending up by two per cent.
Over the years, there has been a steady increase in the demand for convenient dining options in Canada, said Robert Carter, executive director of Foodservice at The NPD Group. Fewer people are making time to enjoy their meals in restaurants, and many are spending more at establishments that offer speedy service.
The need for speed is evidenced by the fact that the locations where people are eating their meals are also changing. Carry-out, drive-thru, and delivery dominate consumers foodservice visit choices, making off-premise dining the best performing option for all types of restaurants. When Canadians choose not to eat at restaurants, they typically enjoy their food at home ( 24 per cent of off-premise visits ), in their cars ( 17 per cent ), and at work ( 12 per cent ).
According to The NPD Groups 2013 ReCount® data, the number of commercial restaurant locations across the country increased slightly from 70,940 to 71,979 between December 2011 and 2012, a growth of one per cent. Of this group, chains are faring better than independents, showing a four-per-cent increase in unit growth compared to flat growth for independents.
There is definitely an opportunity to grow on-premise dining and to help Canadians move away from the new norm: hurried eating, continued Carter. To attract consumers, restaurants will need to offer menu items and an overarching in-house experience that make diners feel it is worth the time to sit down for a meal.

Yangon to beef up security for New Year's night
Published on Sunday, 30 December 2012 12:27
The Yangon region government will beef up security for New Year's night, officials said.
Some people are destroying things in public areas and advertising billboards on New Year's Eve. Yangon will hold a lot of stage shows and hence the security will be tightened in those places, they said.
"We know and accept that most people are joyful on New Year's Eve but we need to prevent any problems. Some people destroy advertising billboards and chairs. People should be careful of drunk-driving and sleeping on the road to prevent road accidents," a local resident from Yangon, who didn't want to be named, said.
Security will be tightened in famous areas of the Inya lakeside to prevent unnecessary problems. Security personnel from Parks and Sports Grounds Division will be on duty in addition to 10 municipal policemen, an official from Parks and Sports Grounds Division said.
