As a new father, I get told all the time to savour every day because kids grow up so fast.
It's true, my young son has already grown so much and it's an adventure every day, watching him develop and interact with the world around him.
As a technologist, I can relate to how quickly big changes impact the world.

Marketing automation is of growing interest to APAC marketers, but what hurdles do they face and how can they overcome them?
A fifth (21%) of APAC-based marketers reported earlier this year that they planned to increase their investment in marketing automation technology over the next 12 months.
To address this growing area of focus for the region's marketers, Econsultancy teamed up with emarsys to produce the Marketing Automation in Asia Pacific Best Practice Guide.

We're in the midst of a great migration to portable devices and the opportunity for marketers is immense.
It will be much tougher to cultivate a relationship with users than it was on the web, but if handled properly we'll find the perfect balance between the ultimate user experience and advertisers' agenda.
One thing marketers can all agree on: advertising makes the digital world go 'round. What's less a settled matter is how, exactly.

The practise of blogger or influencer "engagement" is one of the most widely-used tactics in marketing these days, done by almost everyone, from PR agencies to SEOs, social marketers to spammers.
It's also one of the most commonly derided amongst the recipients and much-debated amongst bloggers and professionals - but rarely addressed by marketers themselves.
If you're doing it well, why share the secrets with your competitors? Sadly, a lot of marketers are doing it very badly indeed, and something needs to be done about it...

Lumped under the collective heading of 'mobile', a lot of marketers think that smartphones and tablets are the same thing when it comes to mobile marketing.
The truth is, people use tablets in a completely different way than they do their smartphones, and your marketing should reflect that.
Here are five reasons why tablets are different than smartphones, and why they should be treated as such by marketers.

I spoke at an event last week looking at the role of programmatic in VOD and its suitability for building brands in a digital environment.
There were a number of people speaking about creating more brand based measurement, data consolidation, using client site and CRM data and the rise of programmatic as a fundamental future facing model for all media buying.
While I agree that programmatic is best viewed as opportunity trading and currently somewhat disconnected from the planning and brand strategy teams, I was struck by the lack of discussion about the role of attribution technology in aligning the true value of programmatic media with an agreed end conversion point.

While practising for my driving test, my instructor was always spouting jewels of wisdom. He also smoked too much and once nearly drove us into a traffic light but I guess nobody's perfect.
Anyway, one of the themes that came up again and again was 'defensive driving', which Wikipedia helpfully defines as 'driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others'.
As a PR, I've spent a little time over the years considering how I'd describe my recommended approach to SEO, and I think a similarly 'defensive' approach is what works best for me.

In parts one to three of the this series on managing PR and blogger outreach in-house, I've guided you through: The Network, The Message, and Discovery/Dissemination, talking shop on tools of the trade to cut cost but still rock like a PR all-star.
In this final post on tracking, I'll show you how to define clear objectives then get your reports together for the boss.

Flash sales, mystery boxes, group coupons, the thrill of buying at a moment's notice or getting unexpected delights by mail have all been in the marketing spotlight within the last year.
However, unless you take the time to carefully craft your flash sale campaign, it can go down like a lead balloon, leaving customers unimpressed and apathetic.
Here are a few examples of such sites, as well as an analysis of what they did right, and wrong. Study their successes, sidestep their mistakes, and learn from them to apply their lessons to your own campaigns.

I first bought two of these torches for my grandchildren as excellent stocking fillers. And suitable colours for each of them. (blue and purple). It then occured to me that they might make excellent small gifts for friends as they would slip into a handbag and be great for looking for keys, reading theatre programmes etc. So I bought two more in elegant silver and black. A good find and very reasonably priced.
20/06/2013 20:01:48
I wanted a little torch for emergencies, to keep in my bag. This is a very bright, robust torch (metallic, not plastic casing) taking three AAA batteries which are easily replaceable. It's ideal for me, especially as it was on offer so I got another one free. They come in red, black and blue. I would definitely recommend buying one.
14/09/2012 00:32:23
This is a very well-designed torch and is very easy to hold. The light is amazingly bright and I am sure will prove to be a very useful purchase. In fact, I bought two of these torches - one for myself and the other as a gift for a friend, who I know will make good use of it when he goes camping. At this price you can't go wrong.
21/06/2012 13:29:26
Bought one for each of my grandsons then went back for a couple more for myself. I keep one in my bag ( torch is small enough to keep in a handbag ) and i keep the other one in my car . They are small, compact, great colours to choose from and the light they emit is powerful so all in all , a great buy.
11/09/2012 21:09:17
Such useful things to have everywhere: kitchen, bedside table, shed, car. Seems funny as a gift, but is really nice to have. The staff was so helpful in my decision to get more than one and in which colours. Just as if they've tried peering under a bed for missing shoe without a torch, too! Cheers!
28/12/2012 18:01:04
I have used these items before and consider them superb value for money. One in my car and one in each jacket/coat pocket particularly during winter, dark days. Small, powerful and reliable. A typically practical and useful product.. I have come to expect this from ALL Mountain Warehouse products.
24/10/2013 20:00:11
Was looking for a small torch to take travelling but didnt want to sacrifice the power of the light, this product had both small in size and a huge power of light, perfect. Another good surprise was that they were buy one get one free so I could get another one for my partner, ideal.
12/07/2013 21:37:53
we already have 2 of these little pocket-sized torches; and were so impressed we've bought 2 more. Such a bright light from a tiny torch. Easy to use; we keep one next to the bed; one in the car, etc. for emergencies. Make a nice present - everyone needs a handy torch !
24/09/2013 07:57:18
Great looking great value torch. Good illumination. However the strap is held on with a very weak metal ring, which came off within the first few hours. Not so good. Will keep the torch, but will have to fit a new ring to hold the strap on.
14/08/2013 14:58:13
Fantastic little torches with a good range of colours. Very bright led lights, easy on/off switch, perfect size for a pocket, to clip to a belt, and for adult and children's hands alike. Extremely pleased with this product.
19/01/2012 13:04:01
This is a fantastic little torch just handy for using at work and in the home/car etc. Was a great purchase as I was able to buy 2, 1 for my wife for her handbag, you never know when it will come in handy I told her.
01/11/2012 15:00:17
These torches are ideal for camping as they are small and don't weigh too much yet they give out lots of light. We have a little campervan so room is limited and these are small enough to go in pocket/handbag.
25/01/2012 11:07:37
Early days (or nights), but bought for occasional use as we live in a rural location and sometimes get caught by fading light; it looks to be exactly what I wanted in size and weight and a good beam.
11/12/2011 21:43:51
Very lightweight torch. Gives out a lot of light and perfect for use at nights when fumbling around for locks with keys. I also use it to read discreetly at night and avoid disturbing others.
19/02/2013 09:00:32
Wealready have a couple of these toches and bought another couple. I carry one in my handbag and we have one in the care for emergencies. It is much brighter than some of the larger torches.
08/02/2012 10:06:54
Great little torches, bought 12 of these, very bright main use for us is walking the dog but are handy for use in the house and car. Fit nicely in coat pockets. Free batteries a bonus.
25/09/2013 17:31:46
I wanted a little torch as a back up for use when camping and this LED Torch is ideal. It is very small, very light and bright enough for general use or around the campsite.
30/01/2013 18:23:18
Just the right size for everyday usage, or for keeping in the glove compartment of the car.Also does not take up too much room in a rucksack or even in a jacket pocket.
04/01/2013 14:02:19
Bought for son who will travel from mid January 2013, so cannot comment on this one yet. However, we got a 2 for 1 deal and I use the other - lovely bright light.
13/10/2013 11:32:59
We spotted these as soon as we entered and felt they were just the right size for coat pockets and keeping handy for evenings out now the nights are so much darker

Blithely ignoring his own past warnings, President Barack Obama is wading ever deeper into a campaign and politics quagmire filled with potential hazard for his second term. He ought to come to his senses.
If he doesn't, it won't be easy to clean this muck off his shoes later on.
The president's team has formed Organizing for Action, a group intended to advance his priorities using the potent grass-roots technology and troops from his winning re-election campaign. According to a summary prepared for donors and reported by The Post's Tom Hamburger, this includes 2.2 million volunteers, 33 million Facebook friends, 22 million Twitter followers and 17 million e-mail subscribers. We see nothing wrong with that.
But how the Obama people are going about it stinks. They have registered the group as a 501(c)4 organization, under a section of the Internal Revenue Code that provides tax-exempt status for " social welfare" organizations, a broad category that originally was envisioned for civic leagues and the like, but which has become a favored dark alley for political operators. Such groups are not required to publicly disclose donors or amounts of contributions, as they would be if they operated under the rules of the Federal Elections Commission. As "social welfare" groups, they must pledge that their work is not "primarily" electoral politics, but that has been left ill-defined by tax authorities. Some electoral and political activity is allowed.
These "social welfare" groups seemed to blossom in the last election cycle, with Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS at the forefront. Big money given in secret is a corrupting influence on our politics. But it is even more worrisome for a sitting president to be fielding such a group. It seems to be an open invitation to donors who want access and influence on policy decisions.
Judging by recent reports, Organizing for Action should be renamed Paying for Access. The Obama team has been talking about raising half the group's money through $500,000 donations from the president's top supporters. They apparently will be offered a spot on an advisory board with the privilege of attending quarterly meetings with the president. The White House has confirmed that while the president and his aides won't directly raise money for the group, they will appear at its events. That will give big donors the chance to ask Obama about a pet project or appointment, behavior that has become all too common in Washington and carries more than a whiff of influence-peddling.
Moreover, Obama's team says that donations will not be listed precisely; rather, they will be listed "in ranges." This affords the donors a useful veil.
The president ought to resist the sweet perfume of this money and grab the smelling salts. He was the one who a few years ago warned us of "a new stampede of special-interest money in our politics." Now Obama seems to be leading the stampede.

STAMFORD, Conn. — Four months after a Christmas Day fire in Stamford took the lives of his three daughters, Matthew Badger spoke publicly in an exclusive interview with Claire Shipman of ABC.
"Why did this happen? It doesn't make any sense," Badger said of losing Lilly, 9, and twins Sarah and Grace, 7.
A fire started at the home of his estranged wife, Madonna Badger, after her boyfriend, Michael Borcina, placed ashes from the fireplace near the rear of the house, authorities said. Badger and Borcina were the lone survivors. Her parents, Lomer and Pauline Johnson, also died in the early morning blaze.
Badger's last memories of his girls' are happy ones, of celebrating with them the week prior to the incident, he told ABC. They had a Christmas tree, danced together, and opened their presents, he says in the interview.
"They were all very happy," Badger said with a smile.
In an effort to heal from the tragedy, Badger has started the Lily Sarah Grace Fund, which will help provide arts programs in public elementary schools. He believes his healing will begin when he walks into a classroom funded by the project, Badger said on Good Morning America.

PHP OS Programming Interview Questions
Questions to ask a PHP Developer
PHP engineers are often required to have a knowledge of the full web stack: starting with the ability to write optimized SQL queries, and wrapping up with a good understanding of HTML/CSS. When interviewing a PHP developer, make sure that you think through your requirements and ask good questions for all of them.
Here's a suggestion for a good menu of PHP interview questions:
- Start off with some basic SQL such as SQL Skills: Joins, Averages and Sums
- Include at least one simple coding task such as Separate a list of integers or Find the missing number
- Explore their ability to come up with an overall system design and data model with a flexible question like Design a restaurant reservation system or Design a card game system
- Ensure that they have a solid understanding of the basic building blocks of the web by asking about HTTP GET and POST or What are HTTP cookies?
- Wrap up with some CSS questions like Explore the HTML display and position attributes or CSS rule-set basics

Hi there
I downloaded camtwist and in the settings / preferences it is detecting both my built in i-sight and any USB webcams I add. The effects also work. My Flash Encoder is also picking up Camtwist as an option for streaming.
However, it's not picking up a video stream and the preview screen is black.
So far, I have tried the following;
* Closing down safari and all other programs before opening Camtwist
* As far as I know, no other applications are using the camera
* "Open using Rosetta" is not checked in my Safari settings
* It's not running at 64 bit as my browser automatically runs at 32 bit
* Uninstalling the software and reinstalling it
Im using Camtwist 2.2 with Safari 5.0.6 and Mac OSX 10.5.8
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Dreadlock Gate is a perfect example of the problem with discipline in District 150; discipline is meted out differently from school to school. If you can't wear dreads on sports teams at Peoria High School, the rule must be consistent across The District.

Your child has sickle cell anemia. This is a condition passed down through genes. It affects the red blood cells (RBCs), the cells that carry oxygen. Your child will see a pediatric hematologist for treatment. This doctor specializes in blood disorders (hematology). The goal is to help your child manage symptoms and prevent problems. This sheet tells you about treatments your child may get. Ask your health care provider if you have questions this sheet doesn't answer.
Most newborns are tested for blood disorders like sickle cell anemia. If diagnosed, treatment starts right away. Early treatment includes the following:
Regular doctor visits. These are needed so the doctor can watch your child's symptoms and overall health. A physical exam and routine blood tests are done to check for complications such as anemia or problems with the liver, kidneys, heart, or lungs. And, imaging tests such as a transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound may be done to check the blood flow through blood vessels in the brain. This is to check your child's risk of stroke.
Antibiotics. These help prevent dangerous infections. Give them to your child exactly as directed by the doctor.
Folate. This vitamin may be given to help your child build new RBCs and prevent anemia.
Vaccinations. Regular vaccinations help protect your child against dangerous infections. Be sure your child gets the pneumococcal, meningococcal, and flu vaccines.
As your child gets older, treatments may change. Following are treatments that may be added to your child's treatment plan. Each treatment has specific risks and benefits that the doctor will discuss with you. In severe cases, your child may need to be in the hospital.
Hydroxyurea helps make the cells less likely to sickle. This helps prevent complications, such as pain episodes or acute chest syndrome.
Pain relievers help manage pain. Your child may get over-the-counter pain meds, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Prescription strength drugs may also be used. For severe pain, prescription pain meds called narcotics may be given.
Antibiotics, such as penicillin, help fight infections and illnesses.
Folate Your child's doctor may prescribe folate to help make more RBCs.
Blood transfusions can:
Increase the number of RBCs if anemia is severe
Free trapped blood cells in the spleen
Reduce the risk of stroke
Surgery. In rare cases, surgery to remove the spleen or gallbladder may be needed.
Bone marrow transplant. This procedure may be advised for a child with severe symptoms. It replaces diseased bone marrow cells with healthy cells from a matched donor. You'll be told more about this treatment if it is needed.
Learn and watch for signs and symptoms of illness, infection, or more serious health problems.
Make sure your child receives all recommended vaccinations.
Give medicine as prescribed by the doctor.
Have your child drink plenty of fluids.
Have your child avoid very hot or very cold temperatures. These can affect how well blood flows through the body.
Call the doctor if your child has any of the following:
Pain that doesn't go away with pain medicine
Trouble breathing
Swelling of the hands or feet
Weakness in one side of body
Erection that won't go away
Pain in chest, stomach, legs

A Spectacular Collection of Native American Quilts
Tribes from the Great Plains used quilts as both a practical replacement of buffalo robes and a storytelling device
- By Owen Edwards
- Smithsonian magazine, January 2010, Subscribe
American Indians have long been recognized for their superb artistry and craftsmanship, creating woven rugs and blankets, beadwork, basketry, pottery, ceremonial clothing and headdresses prized by collectors. But the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) is home to one of the largest collections of a Native American art form that is hardly known at all: the quilt. Eighty-eight quilts—stitched by women from the Northern Plains tribes from the 1940s on—were acquired in 2007 from a spectacular collection put together by Florence Pulford.
Pulford, a San Francisco Bay area homemaker, first got interested in quilts of the Plains tribes in the 1960s. According to NMAI curator Ann McMullen, these quilts—many bearing a central octagonal star—functioned as both ritual and practical replacements for Plains Indians buffalo robes. Bison hides had grown scarce as herds were hunted nearly to extinction in a campaign to subdue the Plains tribes during the late 1800s. Missionary wives taught quilting techniques to Indian women, who soon made the medium their own. Many of the patterns and motifs, McMullen says, "have a look very similar to [designs painted on] buffalo robes."
Some of the quilts, including a highly pictorial piece entitled Red Bottom Tipi (Story of the Assiniboine), tell stories. Its dark blue stripe represents the Missouri River; figurative images depict the tepees of an Assiniboine camp and its inhabitants. But most of the Pulford quilts feature abstract geometric patterns. The museum bought 50 quilts from Pulford's daughters, Ann Wilson and Sarah Zweng, who also donated an additional 38.
Wilson recalls the genesis of the collection: "Since the 1940s, my father, a doctor, and my mother, and later the kids, went to a wonderful camp, a working ranch, Bar 717, in Trinity County in northern California," she says.
In the 1960s, Frank Arrow, a Gros Ventres Indian, came to Bar 717 from Montana to work with the horses and befriended Pulford and her family. "In 1968," says Wilson, "Frank's aunt invited my mother to come to the Fort Belknap Reservation in Montana." On that first visit, Pulford, who had a long-standing interest in Native American culture, was invited to a powwow and was given a quilt as a gift.
"My mother was stunned by the poverty on the reservation, as I was when I spent a summer [there] at the age of 21," Wilson says. "She saw that the quilts were made using feed sacks and other bits and pieces of material. She decided that these artists deserved better materials." Pulford began buying fabric in California and sending it to artisans at Fort Belknap, Fort Peck and other Montana reservations, sometimes even driving a horse trailer packed with quilting materials.
Pulford also began selling the quilts, using proceeds to buy additional fabric and turning over the remaining profit to the quilters. "This was the first time many of the women on the reservations had ever made any money," Wilson recalls.
It was during one of Pulford's early trips to Montana that she met quilter Almira Buffalo Bone Jackson, a member of the Red Bottom band of the Fort Peck Assiniboine. The two women became fast friends, staying close until Pulford's death at age 65 in 1989. "Besides their many visits," says Wilson, "my mother and Almira kept up a long, very intimate correspondence. They wrote about my mother's health, about Almira losing her husband, all sorts of things." Twenty-four of the quilts in the NMAI collection, including Red Bottom Tipi, were designed and sewn by Jackson, who died in 2004 at age 87.
"Almira was also a very talented artist in other ways," says McMullen. In Morning Star Quilts, Pulford's 1989 survey of quilting traditions among Native American women of the Northern Plains, she tells of a letter she got from Jackson that described a single month's output: a baby quilt, two boy's dance outfits, two girl's dresses, a ceremonial headdress and a resoled pair of moccasins. "Almira was also well known for other traditional skills," McMullen says. "Florence was especially intrigued by her methods for drying deer and antelope and vegetables for winter storage."
Which raises, it seems, an interesting question. In the world of fine art, how many gifted artists can count a working knowledge of curing meat among their talents?

Thank you for letting us see the beautiful Indian quilts. I was so impressed by the Red Bottom Tipi and would like to know if there is a pattern available to be purchased. I would really like to try to make a similar quilt which would no way compare to the beautiful quilt at the Smithsonian. Do you know where I could obtain this pattern or similar Indian quilt patterns? Thank you for your attention to this inquiry? Rose M. Bauer

A friend brought in a quilt square from a relative who lived in Arizona. It looks native american; bird/duck design, layered design with slits in top black layer with colored fabric underneath,stitched around slits to create designs on top. Any idea what this could be? Very vibrant colors.

My great grandparents were Cherokee. My grandmother was a quilter as was my mother and sister. I am a fabric collector. I too got teary eyed seeing these.Those wanting more information and patterns - well there are lots of great quilt websites and if you go to your local quilt shop they could probably help you research.

If your not going to show the Quilts then please don't say; to quote you."See a selection of Plans Indians quilts at Smithsonian.com/quilts". I'm a quilter and would of really enjoyed seeing the quilts. I did enjoy the article about American Indians. Theres so much that they have done that people are not aware of. Thank You for you time.

In 1990, my wife and I bought a couple of morning star quilts from this collection from the Marjorie Cahn Gallery. Not sure of their current value but would be interested to know. One was named Fall Time Star with Arrows by Laura Takes the Gun, 75"X97" and the other named War Bonnet Quilt by Victoria Morgan, 68 1/2" by 85".
Posted by Randy Smith on March 10,2010 | 01:12 PM
Please include the measurements of the quilts in your captions. For instance, in the last quilt pictured, the caption mentions "tiny scraps." Is this piece a miniature? Lovely collection.

I have seen many native artifacts in museums and exhibits, but never a quilt. What a wonderful surprise. The pictures are stunning. What a treasure. Thanks for the article.

I have one of these quilts on my bed, and I am writing my senior thesis about Almira's work for my BA in Art History. She was an aunt to my grandfather.

what happen to als web sight?
Access has been somewhat spotty over the last month or two - this was first noticed by Tom Trevor. At first, I had no issues even when he did. Now, it is often slow to open, and has been down since sometime late yesterday. A couple of years ago it was off-line for about a week due to a severe "ice storm" (living in CA, that is not a term with which I'm familiar). I've been in email contact with him very recently. I'll ask this morning.
Now I feel stupid - apparently there have been severe storms in the midwest and east - I think the answer is obvious.

All On 4 is a relatively modern dental procedure whereby a patient's upper teeth are completely replaced with a single unit of teeth secured by 4 titanium screws placed at angles in the jaw bone. The All on 4 procedure is often cited as 'teeth in a day' or similar slogan because of the speed that the implants can be carried out. Originally devised by Dr Paulo Malo, the All On 4 procedure is now offered across the world in Malo Clinics.
So What Does All On 4 Cost?
All On 4 costs around $25k – quite a chunk of money and nothing to be taken lightly for the majority of people. Major Dental policies may cover $2-3k depending on the country and policy type and in some cases state or government rebates on tax are available, such as in Australia where you may be able to get a government rebate of around $4k.
Is It Worth Getting All On 4 Implants?
Ultimately the only person who can answer this question is yourself. Here's some things to consider:-
- Having a great smile helps promote confidence and makes you look younger and more attractive.
- Being able to eat foods that require chewing again may bring back a quality of life you've forgotten about.
- The speed of treatment means you can attain these benefits very quickly.
- No matter how you look at it, no-one in their right mind would choose dentures when given a choice.

It's a beautiful day — the sun is shining, the birds are chirping. What could be more perfect than a bike ride? But wait! Before you pull your bike out of the garage, let's find out how to stay safe on two wheels.
Bike riding is a lot of fun, but accidents happen. The safest way to use your bike is for transportation, not play. Every year, about 300,000 kids go to the emergency department because of bike injuries, and at least 10,000 kids have injuries that require a few days in the hospital. Some of these injuries are so serious that children die, usually from head injuries.
A head injury can mean brain injury. That's why it's so important to wear your bike helmet. Wearing one doesn't mean you can be reckless, but a helmet will provide some protection for your face, head, and brain in case you fall down.
Bike helmets are so important that the U.S. government has created safety standards for them. Your helmet should have a sticker that says it meets standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). If your helmet doesn't have a CPSC sticker, ask your mom or dad to get you one that does. Wear a bike helmet EVERY TIME YOU RIDE, even if you are going for a short ride.
Your bike helmet should fit you properly. You don't want it too small or too big. Never wear a hat under your bike helmet. If you're unsure if your helmet fits you well, ask someone at a bike store.
Once you have the right helmet, you need to wear it the right way so it will protect you. It should be worn level and cover your forehead. Don't tip it back so your forehead is showing. The straps should always be fastened. If the straps are flying, it's likely to fall off your head when you need it most. Make sure the straps are adjusted so they're snug enough that you can't pull or twist the helmet around on your head.
Take care of your bike helmet and don't throw it around. That could damage the helmet and it won't protect you as well when you really need it. If you do fall down and put your helmet to the test, be sure to get a new one. They don't work as well after a major crash.
Many bike helmets today are lightweight and come in cool colors. If you don't love yours as it is, personalize it with some of your favorite stickers. Reflective stickers are a great choice because they look cool and make you more visible to people driving cars.
Riding a bike that is the right size for you also help keeps you safe.
Here's a safety checklist your mom or dad can help you do:
Wearing bright clothes and putting reflectors on your bike also can help you stay safe. It helps other people on the road see you. And if they see you, that means they're less likely to run into you. Daytime riding is the safest so try to avoid riding your bike at dusk and later.
You'll also want to make sure that nothing will get caught in your bike chain, such as loose pant legs, backpack straps, or shoelaces. Wear the right shoes — sneakers — when you bike. Sandals, flip-flops, shoes with heels, and cleats won't help you grip the pedals. And never go riding barefoot! Riding gloves may help you grip the handlebars — and make you look like a professional!
But avoid wearing headphones because the music can distract you from noises around you, such as a car blowing its horn so you can get out of the way.
You need to check with your mom and dad about where you're allowed to ride your bike. You need to know how far you're allowed to go and whether you should ride on the sidewalk or in the street. Kids younger than 10 years should ride on the sidewalk and avoid the street.
No matter where you ride, you need to keep an eye out for cars and trucks. Even if you're just riding on sidewalk, a car may pull out of its driveway into the path of your bike. If you're crossing a busy road, it's best to walk your bike across the street.
A bike path free of cars is a great choice if there's one in your area. Just remember to share the path with the other riders, walkers, and strollers who also might be using it! And if you're going on a long ride, bring some water along with you.
Keep an eye on the road ahead so you can be prepared for big hills and road obstacles. Some common ones that can cause falls include:
If you're allowed to ride on the street, follow these road rules:
It will also help to learn some hand signals. These are like turn signals and brake lights for bikers. It helps cars and trucks know what you will do next, so they don't run into you.
Now that you've learned those hand signals, we'd like to give you a big thumbs-up for finding out more about bike safety!

Is Competitive Eating a Sport?
July 4th, 2010 | by Ray Flowers |I never knew that an ability to gorge oneself into a near coma could make you famous. Perhaps if I had I wouldn't have ceased my binge eating halcyon days in high school where I would routinely put away four or five hamburgers at a BBQ without breaking a sweat. Don't get me wrong I can still put away the burgers and dogs, much to the amazement of my friends considering that fact that I weigh only 180 pounds at 6'3″, but I guess I just have the gift of being able to put away massive amounts of whatever type of food someone will prepare for me.
Of course, I would be akin to a newborn in dunking contest with LeBron James if I were to enter a competitive easting contest such as the world's most famous event, the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest that was held for the 94th time on July 4th, 2010. In case you are unfamiliar with the contest, here are the general rules. (1) You must be hungry. (2) You must be able to scarf down hot dogs. (3) You also have to eat the buns. (4) There is a time limit (it has been 12-minutes in the past but was shorted to 10-minutes in 2008).
So what's the world record for dogs eaten in one of these contests? If you had to guess you would probably say, what, 15 or so? Remember, you have to eat the dogs and the buns, and get less time than a quarter in an NBA game. In 1985 the record appears to have been 19.5 dogs, a total that I would probably cause me to go into gastrointestinal death if I tried to duplicate it. It wasn't until 1991 that someone topped the 20 mark in the Nathan's contest, and in 2000 Kzutoyo Arai set a contest record with 25.5 dogs. But the world of competitive eating was about to witness the birth of its Michael Jordan in the form of Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi.
Standing 5'8″ and weighing about 140 pounds, Kobayashi is a tightly wound package of muscle who keeps his body in excellent physical shape. In 2001 he took the competitive food world by storm by eating 50, yes 50, dogs in Nathan's contest to double the record (think of someone hitting 146 home runs in a season, double Barry Bonds record of 73). Eventually he pushed his record up to 63 dogs in 12 minutes. He is so famous now that he goes by just one name, Kobayashi, much like Magic, Jordan or LeBron.
But out of the cornfield of California… OK he is from San Jose which is the heart of Silicon Valley, Joey "Jaws" Chestnut has emerged as the new world record holder of competitive hot dog eating, the Kobe Bryant to Kobayashi's Jordan if you will. Chestnut, who sort of looks like your goofy cousin who never fit in so you ignored him at family events, ate 66 dogs in 2007 to set the world record to return to the crown to the United States.
These two titans of titillation went up against each other on July 4th, 2008, and they finished the new 10-minute format tied 59 dogs apiece. In overtime, a thriller that had everyone on the edge of their seats, or more appropriately their toilets, Chestnut emerged victorious as the first to consume five dogs, and buns, taking only 50 seconds (Kobayashi needed 57 seconds).
In 2009, Chestnut set the world of competitive eating on its head, not only defeating Kobayashi, but by setting yet another record pushing the mark out to 68 hot dogs. Think of it this way. The average person is supposed to consume about 2,500 calories a day. Olympic champion Michael Phelps, who needs tons of energy to keep his body running in the pool, eats about 12,000 calories a day. In the contest last year, Chestnut at over 20,000 calories in 10 minutes.
In the 2010 contest held earlier today, 6-time champion Kobayashi, who is at a "labor impass"with Major League Eating, did not compete, though he was arrested after the contest when he tried to storm the stage (you can read about that in the Associated Press report). Batting 95 degree heat, Chestnut won for the 4th straight year, though he ate "only" 54 dogs in the process.
So after all of that is competitive eating a sport? I would have to say no way in hell. No longer the realm of 350 lbs guys who could just stuff their bellies, the sport is being led by a buffed Japanese competitor (Kobayashi) and a 6'2″, 220 lbs American who has left all of the other "fat boys" in the dust (Tim Janus finished second this year with a total of 45 dogs, and he checks in at 5'10″, 170 lbs, so it should be asked, is the sport moving away from those that tip the scales with sheer girth to those that have technique despite their size?). It may not be a sport, but if you've got 10 minutes to kill next July 4th, tune into ESPN for the event because seeing a human being eat more than 50 hot dogs in 10 minutes is something that must be seen to be believed.

The Labours of the Months was one of the most popular themes of the Medieval and Early Renaissance periods. There are countless painted and sculpted versions of this subject. The pieces usually depict agricultural activities that commonly occurred in the given months of the year and are often linked to the signs of the Zodiac. Vermeulen's series of paintings takes the traditional labours as a springboard for investigating a contemporary world of contradictions, polarities, and paradox. He uses symbolic and allegorical images, to create visual allegory that is deeply personal and about our universal condition. Through autobiographical narratives, displayed in self-portraiture, the work is part of a struggle for self-discovery.

The HP xw8600 Workstation Review: Worth a Second Look
When last you joined me, dear reader, we took a look at HP's xw8600 workstation, outfitted with Xeon 3.16 processors. The xw8600 is back with a performance boost in the form of X5482 quad core Xeon processors clocked at 3.20GHz, 1600MHz frontside bus and a Quadro FX 5600 with 1536MB RAM. And does that make a difference, you ask? Why, yes, it does.
Once again, this xw8600 system is ideal for broadcast and video editing, oil and gas exploration and 3D graphics creation, among other things. Can you say fast? I knew you could.
Configurable is Its Middle Name In case you missed my original xw8600 review, this system supports dual x16 video slots for a total of 16GB/s throughput -- 8GB/s in each direction. The increased video and memory bandwidth/capacity go a long way in eliminating bandwidth bottlenecks. The system also boasts 14 hard drive connections in total -- more than you can fit inside the case!
Pricing for the xw8600 still starts at $1,926, while the system I tested includes two quad core Xeon X5482 processors clocked at 3.20GHz, a 1600MHz frontside bus (a boost from the 1333MHz of its predecessor), 4GB of RAM, a 160GB SATA hard drive and a Quadro FX 5600 video card with 1.5GB of memory, and costs $9,442. As with its previous incarnation, the new xw8600 can handle up to 128GB of memory, with the addition of RAM risers.

Governor signs six bills to combat cancer
In a celebration last week at Virginia Commonwealth University's Massey Cancer Center, Gov. Bob McDonnell ceremonially signed six pieces of legislation that will further cancer-related research, treatment and education throughout the state. "While we can celebrate that more and more Virginians are surviving cancer today because of the work of cancer organizations like Massey, we must continue to work to find a cure," McDonnell said. State support to the Massey Cancer Center rose from $1 million to $7.5 million in the past two years, and with House Bill 1182 – one of the measures signed Monday – the center will now be able to apply for research grants from the Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Fund. "Massey serves on the front lines of the war on cancer, and the work done here exemplifies VCU's laser focus on research that makes a difference and our unwavering commitment to human health," said VCU President Michael Rao. "What you do inspires everyone." Rao expressed delight in hosting McDonnell as well as gratitude toward the state government "for investing additional resources in Massey's ground-breaking and valuable research." "Every year, more than 35,000 Virginians are diagnosed with cancer," said Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling. "That's why it is so important for us to do everything we can to combat this disease and promote effective programs to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. We can accomplish this goal by promoting healthy living, investing in cancer research and treatment, and advancing legislative solutions like those the governor is signing today." McDonnell also signed: • HB 83, sponsored by Delegate Robert Orrock, R-Thornburg, and Senate Bill 544, sponsored by Sen. John Edwards, D-Roanoke. These companion bills require doctors to tell women having mammograms whether they have dense breast tissue that could hide cancer. • HB 1273, sponsored by Delegate Christopher Peace, R-Mechanicsville, and SB 450, by Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel, R-Winchester. These bills require health insurers to pay the same for orally administered cancer chemotherapy drugs as they do for intravenous therapy. • House Joint Resolution 120, sponsored by Mark D. Sickles, D-Franconia. It establishes Sept. 26 in Virginia as Mesothelioma Awareness Day. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in the protective lining that covers the body's internal organs. It is usually caused by exposure to asbestos. House Speaker William Howell of Stafford and various legislators attended the bill-signing ceremony. Also present were representatives of the Women's Clubs of Virginia, the Medical Society of Virginia, the National Patient Advocate Foundation, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation. |

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

GOP+KKK? Ah, excuse me, can you spell Harry Reid? OH, that's right, he doesn't count, he's one of you crybabies. Wow, just reading your blogs makes me laugh. I don't blame you for being frightened by those evil 60-70-somethings. If we get 4 or 5 of them together, they'll become a mob and terrorize the countryside in their scooters. You're probably thinking right now that they want to eat your babies too. These people are the frightening ones. Why? Because the majority of them are "crackers" and it's time to take them down. I've tried to stay out of this blog frenzy, but since I recently decided to jump into the fray, I have found that I really do feel good about myself when I log off. Listen to you losers. This country is in serious trouble and you keep wanting to hide by finding ways to blame other people. Best you get your head out of that cat box before you wake up and find that 80% of your income and assets has been swallowed up by those that believe we should fall in line like those people overseas, you know, socialists? We're on that path right now with this current administration, only you can't see it past the weeds and bushes, and the fact that you are being played on the grandest scale this country has ever seen. All I can tell you is good luck. By the time you realize you've got a problem, don't forget to laminate your food stamp card. And remember, keep extra thread on hand to repair your home when it starts to leak, you know your tent???
Very good!!
Just stand by for the flack. Liberals hate it when you stir up their sand box.

Roots Manuva
On Big Dada
Rodney Smith aka Roots Manuva is one of the titans of Black British music.
Smith made his recorded debut in 1994 as part of IQ Procedure through Suburban Base's short-lived hip hop imprint Bluntly Speaking Vinyl. He debuted as Roots Manuva the same year on Blak Twang's 'Queen's Head' single, before releasing his own single, 'Next Type of Motion' the following year through the same label, the hugely influential Sound of Money. 1996 saw the release of his collaborations with Skitz ('Where My Mind Is At'/'Blessed Be the Manner') on 23 Skidoo's Ronin label. The release of 'Feva' on Tony Vegas's Wayward imprint followed in 1997. This was also the year that saw the first releases from Big Dada. In 1998 he joined the label and the following year released his fiercesome debut, 'Brand New Second Hand'. From an initial 3000 records put into the shops 'BNSH' has now sold over 50,000 copies in the UK. It also made the first dents in the wall of complacency and indifference which has often greeted home-grown Black music in this country. Manuva was rewarded for his breakthrough with a MOBO as Best Hip Hop Act that year. As if to demonstrate the broad appeal of his style, he also featured on Leftfield's 'Dusted' from their 'Rhythm & Stealth' album.
Big things were now expected of Smith and he delivered with 2001's 'Run Come Save Me', the record which gained him a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize and which has currently sold well over 100,000 copies in the UK. More importantly, it spawned the all-time classic 'Witness' (voted the greatest UK hip hop tune of all time by the readers of Hip Hop Connection) on an album that ran from the broad, swaggering pop of 'Dreamy Days' to the dark, odd meditation of 'Evil Rabbit'. It is also the record which led the Guardian newspaper, in October 2003, to proclaim Manuva fifth in their '40 Best Bands In Britain' feature, proclaiming that "his influence is incalculable and he opened the doors for the Streets, Dizzee Rascal et al."
Smith followed up that album with "Slime & Reason" in 2008 and "4everevolution" in 2011. Both records were acclaimed by critics and fans alike. In addition, 2010 saw the release of "Duppy Writer," Alongside these releases, he contributed to the first Gorillaz record, started up his label-come-gang, Banana Klan, and guested on countless records for other artists.
