I love both Dr Hunter and Dr White!
I was extremely apprehensive and uneasy. The staff members were very kind, concerned, and respectful. It was a breath of fresh air to see such professionalism.
My visit was very good.
The staff was very pleasant, efficient, warm. I felt like I was going to visit friends who happen to be doctors. My exam was very thorough from taking my vitlas, understanding my expectations for the visit, setting up ongoing care....I've been a patient of Dr. Hardy-Hunter for over 8 years and 2 wonderful pregnancies....
She was REALLY AWESOME with my daughter. The wait time was a little long, but she takes her time with each patient so that they understand their bodies and she answers all questions.
Dawn White, ARNP was excellent & had great bedside manner.
She has been my doctor for years. The best! Her nurse practitioner was wonderful also! If you want a great doctor, she is the person to choose.
The staff is professional and Dr Hunter took care of my medical needs. She was able to sit with me and discuss my concerns. Highly recommend dr. Hardy for all of your OBGYN needs
Dr. Hardy Hunter is a great Doctor,& the Nurse Practitioner is very good as well. They always have a friendly attitude, and are very patient. She took the time out to answer all of my questions. Also, two years ago when I had problems during delivery with hemorrhaging, she was calm& acted quickly& smart to save my life. I'm forever grateful for that.
Excellent practice! I love the doctor and her nurse practitioner! Expect to wait awhile but that's just how it is nowadays.
Awesome as always ????
I saw Dawn White and she was amazing as always. They are all so nice there!! The wait time was a little long but it was their first day in that office so that was okay.
I absolutely love Dr Hardy-Hunter!!! This was my first encounter with her and this office from a recommendation from a friend. I am so happy with my care and her bedside manners are excellent. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an OB-GYN provider.
The reason for my appointment changed and they were able to accommodate me. Dr. Hardy-Hunter delivered my first baby and she will deliver my second. Always worth the wait.
My visit was great, Dr. Hunter was very informative and given me great advise.
She has a fantastic bedside manner! She made me feel very comfortable and was very thorough. I'd highly recommend her!
She's Awesome.
Very professional and friendly staff. Doctors bed side manner is awesome. Will definitely be my gyno
I arrived about 50 minutes early for my appointment since it was my first. After informing that I was early and it was my first visit, the friendly staff started processing me and gather the necessary information. I was attended to promptly and professionally. I was very impressed with the service I received. I felt comfortable, and my concerns were taken seriously. I really felt good after my visit.
Waiting room was crowded. Staff is friendly, but you can tell they are overworked. I was not brought back to a room until over 1 hour after my appointment time and did not see the doctor until noon when my appointment was at 10:30 (and I arrived at 10:00 to complete paperwork). That being said, Dr. Hardy was worth the wait. She took the time to listen to me regarding some issues that I've been having, put some of my anxieties to rest, and then came up with an educated plan to address my concerns. I will be coming back to see her in the future despite the wait time.
Everybody there is great and friendly. It was my first time and I felt really welcomed. Only bad thing is the wait time. I waited for almost an hour.
Super nice staff. Dirty and outdated looking office. Nurses were really sweet and professional.
Loved the doctor but the wait time was horrible. Almost got up and walked out because it took over 2 hours to be seen.
She's a wonderful ob/gyn, the wait time is very long I believe due to the size of the office.
I really like Dr. Hardy-Hunter, she's a very caring, compassion doctor. She seemed very concerned about all my issues, she answered all of my concerns, and was very patient with me, and she made me feel very comfortable.
She was great ! I encouraged and appreciated her feedback . She is very attentive and calming . I will be making her my primary GYN !
She wad very good. She was coming from delivering a baby this is why she was late.
I didn't see the doctor . My PCP didn't send a referral.
She is a great doctor, but her staff are not the brightest stars in the sky.
Doctor Eleanine hac excellent office skills and here staff was on point.
Overall it was good.
Very good.
Doctor hardy hunter was excellent, the business office management was very poor they did not have a record of my zoc doc appointment even though I had confirmation, I wasnt seen until 10.30am and was left waiting it was 11.30am when I left and my zoc doc appointment was for 9am! I was very frustrated!!! But the doctor was great very professional and made me feel comfortable I would recommend her but the business management was terrible and very dissapointing
She is genuine person and very attentive
Dr Eleanor Hardy Hunter was very nice and welcoming! She takes her time and gave me the individual attention I was not getting from other clinics.I highly recommend her to friends and family
Overall she is a wonderful Dr. Very caring to my needs
It's unfortunate as I will not be returning. My appointment was scheduled for 10am and I was not seen until after 12pm. There were over 15 people in a small waiting room. Very crowded, loud and limited seating. I was given the paperwork a few minutes before I was actually seen by the doctor despite the 2 hour period I had in the waiting room. The doctor herself was very pleasant and nice. Efficient, ironically. No doctor in my opinion is worth that obscenely long kind of wait.
I Think The Doctor Was Great And All The Nurses Were Really Nice.
It was amazing, it was my first time but made me feel like I'm a regular patient. I highly recommend it!
I loved it, Dr Hunter Is the best.
Wait time is awful. Doctor is great.
Dr. Hardy- Hunter was great. She was very personable and easy to talk to. The waiting room and exam rooms are not welcoming and pretty scary. I was very nervous waiting for my appointment. The wait was ridiculous. When I arrived, the lady asked how I booked my appointment because she didnt have it. I told her ZocDoc. They saw me anyway but they didnt have record of the appointment. After waiting in waiting room and exam room, I finally saw the doctor 1 hour and 15 minutes after my scheduled time. The doctor said she just went live on an electronic medical records system and it is slowing her down.
Great! Very friendly and didn't seem like they wanted to rush you. Office staff we're prepared and didn't seemed rushed like they had overbooked appointments, which is a plus. A little bit of a wait time since I was a new patient, but worth it.
This OBGYN is UH-MA-ZING. You know how people say "good things come to those who wait?" Well that would me the case with this one. It may take some time to see her but that's because you will always see her and no one else. She professional and makes you feel right at home. I can't wait till December to get this baby out of me ??
She was very attentive and seemed genuinely concerned about my comfort during the appointment, I was anxious during a routine pap smear and she noticed and asked me a few times if I was ok and whether or not she was hurting me during her examinations, (she wasn't.) Not all gynecologists make the effort to connect with their patients during what is usually a rather uncomfortable/awkward procedure. I was very impressed and it made me feel much more at ease and taken care of. She was also very easy to talk to and got me back on the birth control I had been on before and had good results with. I highly recommend her!
Very friendly doctor. Wonderful and polite staff. Great service. Family friendly environment.
Staff was very friendly and nice! Initial wait time was too long but once I was in the examination room the doctor saw me promptly.
Dr. Hardy-Hunter is super sweet and awesome. LOVE her bedside manner and she made me feel very comfortable. I don't have one negative thing to say about her. However, this is the 2nd time I've made an appointment and it took more than 1 hour to be seen. What is the point in making an appointment? I was in a waiting room with 10+ other people and we were all waiting for a crazy amount of time. After an hour I asked the estimated time because I was on my lunch hour and there were still 2 people ahead of me. I had to leave. If you're going to go here give yourself a loooooong time block and bring a good book.
This was my first visit with her and i was very pleased. She appeared to be genuinely concerned with my symptoms and determined to find a cause and more importantly, a resolution.
Very energetic and pleasant doctor but a very long wait time!
My visit was great! I hadn't been to the Gyn in a while because my last Gyn retired. She is very personable and thorough in spite of being super busy. I personally didn't have a problem with the wait time, (I had my e-reader), but I would recommend bringing a book or magazine to help keep your mind off the waiting.
Doctor had amazing bedside manner. Very friendly and personable. She worked perfectly with my Rx needs and was very apporachable. Not pushy or condescending at all. Wait time was about 45 minutea but I was a new patient. Office staff were friendly. Will definitely continue to see Doctor Hardy Hunter.
This was my first visit with Dr Hardy-Hunter. I recently moved here and needed to find a new Dr. She was very patient and understanding. Had a great bedside manner. This is very important to me since my last Dr. was a male and not at all understanding and terrible bedside manner.
I am new to the Tampa area and found Dr. Hardy-Hunter on ZocDoc. When I made it to her office, the waiting room was small, dirty and ridiculously packed with people. The window to the receptionists was closed and covered by papers that said "no tapping." I waited around for about 15 minutes before anyone opened the window to even acknowledge me. My apt. time was at 8am and I wasn't taken back until about 10:15am. I usually would NEVER wait this long to see a doctor but I had already taken time off work and didn't want to do so again. When I was finally called back, I waiting another 45 minutes in the room before the doctor came in to see me. Although she herself, was a nice and gentle doctor, I would NEVER return to this office due to the lack of respect of my time. I ended up getting a bill in the mail for a couple hundred dollars because Unitedhealthcare was not covered and considered "in-network" at the time of my appointment. I am now disputing with them and my insurance company and they refuse to call me back. overall very dissatisfied.
She is a fantastic doctor. Her warmth and kindness is obvious which only adds to her high level of professionalism. I highly recommend her one of the best I've been to.
It was excellent!! She listened to my needs, she made me feel very comfortable.. I left satisifed!!
Dr. Hardy-Hunter is a super nice and as well as the rest of her staff. I would definitely recommend her. :)
Dr. Hardy-Hunter is the best doctor I have had the privilege of finding. She is genuine, kind, understanding, open & extremely intelligent. She put my mind at ease my entire pregnancy & through the birth. I'm considering having another child, now that I have found her! You may have to wait a little bit in the office, but she is worth it.
I love my doctor! She been there for me since I was 16. I'm now 25. I love her. Consider her my second mom. She's very caring and always tries to help u with everything that concerns you . She helped me conceive my first child and now helping me with my second child. :) I really really recommend this doctor! AAAA++++
dawn white is Amazing! nurse practitioner so helpful and knowledgeable.
Her and her team were all wonderful
I loved dr. Hunter, however, the waiting room is small and gets packed, and my appointment was thirty mins before the actual time I was seen but meeting dr. Hunter made the wait worth it.
Excellent doctor! It was my first time visiting and she helped me feel very at ease. I am really thankful to have found her, excellent source of information and very very understanding.
Dr Hardy Hunter is a very dedicated, knowledgeable and friendly Doctor. I believe this id what keeps her patients coming back. The staff & wait time is a different story. The wait time was terrible. I was not seen until 2 HOURS after my scheduled appointment. I do not feel as if the staff respect people's time. I am unsure why appointments are scheduled if they are not honored. No apologies or explanations. The staff stayed closed behind a glass Window with little to no interaction with the patients. It's very in personable and unfriendly. I was told walk ins are seen before people with appointments if they come earlier. That may need to be reevaluated or everyone should be considered walk ins. 2 hours is extreme. People work and have lives. I am sure if a patient arrived 2 hours late they would be rescheduled or possibly charged a fee so why is the office allowed to get away with this.
Great doctor.
She is a great doctor. Her office staff could be a little better as far as their office professionalism.
She is a great doctor and has a great PA as well. The wait was a little long, but when I advised them I had a tight schedule they really pushed to get me done. Everyone was very friendly and professional and my medical needs were carefully addressed.
Dr. Hardy hunter was amazing. She was so sweet and kind and took her time answering my questions and making me feel comfortable. I would definitely see her again. The office, however, was not comfortable. The waiting room was small and I waited an hour and a half to be seen, even though I filled out all of the paperwork online. I would love to see the Dr again because she was great, but maybe in a different office.
I was pleased with the service. The wait was what was expected and the service was professional.
She and her nurse were absolutely wonderful.....attentive, thorough, kind, encouraging and friendly.
She was very kind and understanding she actually took her time to ask about symptoms and overall health. I would recommend her to all my friends and family.
The office was very inviting, I will definitely let my friends know about this office.
Dr. Hardy Hunter, and the entire staff, were very personable and welcoming. It was a little bit of a wait, but once I was seen it was a very pleasant experience. I already referred her to my friends, I would definitely recommend.
She was very kind, a little quiet for the typical physician, but when she speaks, she's super sweet and made me feel very comfortable being in her care. Her nurse or MA, the lady who works the front desk as well--she's just awesome, soooo nice, so funny and talkative, definitely loved her!
She made my first time Ob-Gyn not as bad as I feared it would be. I will definitely be back to see her
Although I did not enjoy the wait I do understand that 11am is a pretty busy time. But as soon as I was taken back dr.Hardy saw me almost immediately. I was in and out with a full exam and new BC in less than 20 minutes. She wasp helpful and a pleasure to be around! Highly recommended!!!
Awesome! Best experience ever.
She is awesome a little bit over booked but not bad at all. Im happy I found her.
She was great but the wait was crazy few hours!!
She is outstanding! She cares about all aspects of women's health. She's a keeper! Her staff is so sweet and caring. It is so wonderful to know doctors like her still exist. Thank you.
Dr. Hardy-Hunter is awesome!!! I have visited her office twice and each time has been great! I would definitely highly reccomend her to anyone looking for an OB-GYN ????
Always a good experience. Pleasant an easy to talk to.
I was a little skeptical when I arrived -- the building, waiting room, offices were small and a bit rundown, but I was completely pleased with Dr. Hunter. I saw her for a yearly exam; I'm new to FL and was looking for an ob-gyn. She was kind, warm, knowledgeable, and friendly. She was patient and gave a tthorough exam; she discussed my medical history thoroughly, and ordered labwork (at my request). I'm very pleased and will be happy to return.
I seen her NP, but she was also wonderful great service
My visit with Dr. Hunter was great. She made me feel so comfortable. She took her time to explain things. Very easy to talk to. I will definitely return.
Dr. Hardy-Hunter is EXCELLENT!! Hands-down one of the most caring, professional and respectable doctors I've been with. If I get pregnant again, I will drive the 30 minutes each way to see her again. You will wait, but she is worth every minute of it.
Great experience as always. Very friendly, kind, understanding and helpful. Knowledgable and able to effectively take care of my medical needs.
I love this doctor!!!
The M.D. and her, staff were professional and timely.
Really awesome gyn! Super nice and friendly. We had a good chat and she explained things in a clear and sympathetic manner. Only downside is that I had to go somewhere else to get blood work.
Slow. Slow. Slow. Waiting room was packed and hot. Almost like waiting in a free clinic. Seems as if she overbooks. My first and last time coming here.
I loved it. She was very nice to talk to and seemed to understand my issue.
This was my first visit to this doctor. The doctor was excellent and I really liked her. I went in December and received a prescription for Camrese which is a 90 day supply of birth control. I have had this before and the doctor usually writes my prescription for 3 refills thus getting you through a year until your next annual exam. So when I went to call in my refill, I was surprised to find there were none. My pharmacy called on a Tuesday to get the refill. Thursday I found out the doctors office still had not called back. The pharmacy suggested I call the doctor. I called on Friday at 12. The medical assistant was going to call me in "2 minutes". I was also told the doctor doesn't put refills on her RX - you gave to call in each time you need a refill. By 4:15 I had no call back and when I called back the doctors office was closed. I called back Monday morning at 9:30 and was told it would be taken care of Monday (I now have missed taking my pill on Sunday night). I called my pharmacy at 1:30 and am told they still have nothing. I called the office again and am told the doctor has it in her file and will call it in today. I call the pharmacy at 5 and nothing has been called in. So now I am on day 2 of no birth control. I can't go to another doctor without paying hundreds out of pocket because my insurance has already paid for my well woman exam. As much as I like this doctor, I will have to switch. No way can I go through this every time I need a refill.
Very nice, I felt comfortable!
Top notch! Very professional and wonderful bedside manner. She's been my GYN for a few years and I'm very satisfied!
Like everyone said in the reviews she was very personable and empathetic. Her staff was helpful also. That's exactly what I needed at this time. Finding an OB in FL. has not been pleasant but I'm happy with the choice I made.
Once I finally got to meet Dr. Hardy-Hunter (over an hour past my appointment time), I was very happy with her. She's very personable and I felt like I got her full attention while she was with me. She was caring and pleasant and I can see why people like her. The office itself is a little worn, the walls thin and the equipment old. However, the doctor is first rate.
I love her! She delivered my two youngest and I would hate to move just because I d miss her.
I'm a returning patient so that speaks for itself .. One thing that means the most to me is her bedside manners she has made me feel very comfortable more than I've ever felt at any obgyns office despite the long wait to be seen .. She's great and very informative , friendly , and personal she will do her best to accommodate your needs .. I will continue to see her as my obgyn ..
She was amazing . So friendly and she explains everything to me .I was waiting for long time but when i meet her I satisfied . She cares about you I felt like I am with my friend not a doctor . Really she is the best . I will recommend her to everybody .
It was a good visit as usual
It was good. Soon i finished new patient paperwork i was called back within 15 min and was done within 45 min. Doc was very friendly n knowledgeable. Staff could be a little bit more professional n organized but wonderful
Great Office and worth the wait!
She is the obg I have met so far
Very nice and informative.
Very professional. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.
she is great! if I still lived in Florida I would absolutely go back to see her.
My visit with Dr. Hunter was one of the best OB/GYN visits I have ever had. She was able to answer all of my questions and took the time to explain things to me even though she had a lot going on. I really appreciate the level of care and professionalism. I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Hardy-Hunter was excellent. She shook my hand with warmth and authority. She put me at ease immediately with her smile and confidence. My wait time is my only complaint. I must be honest, I make an exception on this occasion because the office was one person short (the front desk person). I understand the importance of having "all hands on deck". The staff was of a cheerful and friendly manner and that more than made up for the wait.
It was terrible! I will never go there again!!!
It may be a great practice but today, there were about 10 people in waiting room. It was moving very slowly, so for my first time there and an annual exam appointment, it wasn't worth the wait.
The doctor herself was very good. She was friendly and quick. However, possibly a little too quick--she had several other patients in the waiting room, so she seemed a little rushed. Her office staff, on the other hand, I wasn't very impressed with. They didn't have my appointment, told me they didn't accept my insurance ("since I had Medicaid"--when I actually don't). I could hear the nurses talking about other patients in the hallway, and overall, just didn't feel comfortable there.
She is great. Very understanding and easy to talk to.
She is really sweet.
She is very thorough, listened, and spent plenty of time with me. She is very caring. Excellent experience!
She was awesome! Very caring and also straight to the point. Explained a lot to me and was sincere.
The doctor was nice and friendly. She helped where needed and is informative. My problems had to be re-addressed three times, but overall she is good. Her staff needs some work as does the clinic. My wait was much longer than expected and I showed up 15 mins early since I was a new patient. The location was not ideal or easy to get to. I hope these issues have changed. I didn't return because of those problems.
Doctor Hardy-Hunter was the best OBYGN I could have ever found, although I had a miscarriage she was more supportive/informative then I could ever expect. On top of that she actually cares about her patients, my next pregnancy I will follow her across the state if need be.
It was my first time with Doctor Hardy-Hunter and she is really nice and was very comforting to be around for my annual. I will be seeing her next year for my upcoming annual and would recommend her to all my gal friends.
Excellent she is adorable.
I wish I had known about her and her very friendly and proffessional office staff, during my other 3 pregnancies. It' s a small office but Dr. Hardy-Hunter and her staff are very warm and friendly and they listen and answer any questions or concerns you might have. I LOVE this place and today was my FIRST appointment there.
I had a very assuring and very satisfying doctors visit. Doctor Eleanine really cares. The office and staff are very welcoming.
Smart, warm, and a brilliant listener. A rare find.
I really enjoyed the visit will be going back.
She is great..professional and down to earth!
Saw her for an annual exam. She was VERY sweet and funny!!! She knows exactly how to make a patient feel comfortable. Will DEFINETLY she her again in the future!!!!
Dr. Hunter is very thorough and professional. She gives excellent alternatives and recommendations. She listens and is very accommodating.
she was very professional and took great interest in my situation.i felt that she really listened to me and made me feel very comfortable.i will be seeing her for my next gyn visit.
She is an excellent doctor very pleasant and I would recommend her 100 %.
Although I waited a long time, it was worth every minute. Dr. Hunter is hands down amazing. My previous gynos have been rude, rough, and judgemental. Dr. Hunter is the complete opposite. She listened when I asked questions and was so reassuring about my concerns. She cares about her patients, really cares, which is hard to find these days. Her staff is super friendly as well. I will be going to Dr. Hunter from now on!!
She was very professional, very knowledgable, and pleasant.
I found her very easy to talk to and that she was really interested in helping me.
Excellent doctor. Very caring. Would highly recommend
she is the best GYN doctor I have ever gone to. Very caring and compasionate..and is very educated. I live in New York and if I lived in Florida I would use her as my GYN.
Dr. Elanine is a jewel. She was very knowledgeable, her bedside manners were excellent and she was very personable and the office is beautiful, only thing is if you have allergies take your meds. The cinnamon airfresher is quite strong and triggered a headache aside from that it was a pleasant experience and the staff was nice. I've found my "GYN" I would recommend her.
This was ny first visit and even though the wait was a little long it was the best service I've ever received. She actually listens to you and how you feel. Highly recommend!!
I love her :)
Doctor was so good because she explain well.
Very reassuring and supportive! I had a great experience with Dr. Hardy I would recommend her to anyone.
My visit with Dr. Hunter was very pleasant. She made me fill very comfortable. I would totally recommend this doctor to others!

Today is Apple Tablet Day [Morning News]Brett Singer
Do you know what today is? No, not Wednesday. Well OK, it is Wednesday. But it's so much more than that. Today is Apple Tablet Day!
Didn't know? Don't care? Then you are a hopeless n00b. Don't know what a n00b is? Then you are really hopeless. And a n00b.
The Apple Tablet will do everything! The Apple Tablet will save the publishing industry! The Apple Table will be good for the environment! It will re-invent the world! It will cure all disease!
OK, now for reality.
The Apple Tablet will let us play even more time-wasting games. The Apple Tablet may, in fact, help the publishing industry if there is, as some have speculated, an iTunes-like store for "news content."
That is, if the Apple Tablet actually exists. Which it probably does. OK, it definitely does. Because numerous folks have spilled the beans already. That hasn't stopped the blogging, and the tweeting, and the HEY LADY! (You need to hear that sentence in a Jerry Lewis-style voice, otherwise it doesn't make sense. And even then, it's only funny if you happen to be French.)
An interesting issue that the Apple Tablet, the iWhatever, raises is the future of newspapers. In general, I think we will eventually see most people reading the news on a screen, small or large. Many people do so already. But when a big event happens, folks want a printed newspaper. Remember how newspapers sold out the day Barack Obama was elected President? And more recently, the New Orleans Times-Picayune sold out of their Monday January 25 edition, the day after the Saints beat the Vikings in the the NFC Championship game. "We printed significantly more papers than usual, but it wasn't enough," it says on their website.
Ah, memories. Is there an app for that? Nope.
The launch of the Apple Tablet or iWhatever is going up against President Obama's State of the Union Address. Well, not directly. The State of the Union is tonight at 9pm EST, and the Apple Tablet Launch is today at 10am PST/1pm EST. Gawker has a poll asking their readers to pick the Event Of The Year, and the choices are the State of the Union address, the Apple Tablet Launch, and the premiere of the annoying TV show 'Lost'. Except that 'Lost' doesn't air until February 2, which is next week. So that's not really competition.
Anyway, the President Obama's State of the Union speech is tonight. Here's a countdown clock from Hulu:
Now here is some proof that the so-called Liberal Media isn't really the anti-GOP machine that the GOP Conservative Hive Mind would like us to believe it is. Have you heard about the four lads who were arrested for allegedly trying to tamper with the phone of New Orleans Senator Mary Landrieu? According to published reports, they were dressed as telephone repairmen in an attempt to gain access to Landrieu's office. Gawker calls them the Young Republican Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. NPR has a report saying that they are not being charged with wiretapping, but rather a "plan to wiretap." Why does this matter? Because one of the lads is James O'Keefe, the 25-year-old "activist" who dressed as a pimp, went to an ACORN office, and videotaped the whole thing. Here's the video. It's 10 minutes long, just so you know.
The video "made O'Keefe a star in conservative circles" according to CBS News. CBS also calls the most recent incident a "stunt", and says that O'Keefe was allegedly filming the three guys who were pretending to be telephone repairmen. (Somebody likes playing dress up and making videos. But I digress.) One of the three guys arrested is Robert Flanagan, son of William Flanagan, the acting U.S. Attorney for the western district of Louisiana, according to Gawker.
So how is this proof that the GOP Conservative Hive Mind Myth of a Liberal Media is indeed just that, a myth? If "the media" were as "liberal" as the GOP Conservative Hive Mind would like us to believe, this would be a front page story in the New York Times. And yet, it is not. Fox News takes a fair and balanced view of the potential plot to wiretap the office of a U.S. Senator, as you can see in this video. (Stay til the end of the video and check out the "Bear Alert". Very scary.)
I like the "Bear Alert" at the end. Very scary.
If you want to follow the Apple Tablet Launch, you can do so with us — live! That's right. I will be going live on Blog Talk Radio today at 12:30pm EST/9:30am PST. The main topic is farm shares and why they are both great and annoying. Joining me is Madeline Holler, the woman who first told me what a CSA was. Also on the agenda is how the earthquake in Haiti ignited the breastmilk vs. formula debate; it certainly ignited our commenters when Madeline wrote about it. Then, at 1pm EST/10am PST, we will go live — LIVE — to the greatest event in the history of history itself. The Apple Tablet Launch. The iWhatever. By "going live" I mean that I will attempt to watch the Apple Tablet Launch online and comment on it as it happens. We might even get a call from a real-live media expert. Whoo-hoo! If you want to call in and talk to us, you can. The number is call-in number is (347) 996-5362. Just wait until we're actually on the air. Or you can pop into the chat room over at BlogTalkRadio.com.
We leave with a song — "State of the Union" by the punk band Rise Against. Not safe for work because of loudness, and maybe profanity. I say "maybe" because it's hard to tell when they're screaming.

Sale on Used Entomology Equipment - Upland, CA
|Home / Cabinets, Drawers & Unit Trays
|Freezer & Refrigerator
|Showcases & Boxes
|Spreading Boards & Nets
|Other Cool Stuff
BioQuip 1041 Series Display Cases with plastazote pinning bottoms & hinges attached. $49.00 ea.
Item #: 1041CP. Outside dimensions: 18 in. x 24 in.
I have three of these for sale. Two with natural finish and hinges on the short side, and one with hand-stained cherry finish and hinges on the long side. Knobs are screwed on the opposite sides to facilitate easy opening and handling. The hinges and knobs were attached to make them better suited for selling pinned insects at a trade show. This allows you to open the case with the glass facing the customer so that there is less danger of damage to the specimens or theft of the specimens. This is a much superior method than removing the glass lid entirely to access specimens in a crowded trade show environment. If you've ever had a little kid poke his finger in a completely open case and break your specimens then you can relate. If you purchase these new from BioQuip they will cost you about $81.00 each after tax and shipping - and you'll have to attach your own hinges and knobs. Your price for these used ones: only $49.00 ea. The exteriors are a little worn from many trade shows but the glass and the plastazote foam pinning bottoms are in very excellent condition.
BioQuip Standard Insect Boxes with polyethylene pinning bottoms. $20.00 ea.
Item #: 1001. Outside dimensions: 9 x 13 x 2-1/2" (229 x 330 x 64 mm)
I have four of these remaining in pristine condition. Here is BioQuip's description: "The original redwood insect box, introduced by BioQuip in 1947, continues to be the Schmitt-sized box entomologists prefer for collection storage because of its sturdy construction, tight fit, and relative economy. Top and bottom are hinged at the back, and hooks are provided on the sides. Due to increasing scarcity of commercially sized redwood trees, the top and bottom of this box are luan plywood produced from reclaimed materials. This is an excellent box for use in tropical areas as the redwood remains dimensionally stable through extremes of humidity and dryness. As the exterior is unfinished, it may be placed in an oven at low temperature with lid slightly open to dry out both the box and pinned specimens. Materials: kiln dried redwood frame; 1/8" luan plywood top and bottom; 5/16" white polyethylene foam pinning bottom; brass plated hinges and hooks. Construction: one piece frame and box joints; shoulders mitered and glued; sanded but not finished"
If you were to order these new from BioQuip you would have to pay about $48.00 each after tax and shipping. You can buy mine for only $20.00 each. Now THAT'S a bargain.

On Monday afternoon, highway cars and intense security surrounded Minnesota's capitol building, where only officials, legislators and their aides were allowed in.
"There's not army tanks, but there's a lot of security," said Charlie Kyte, executive director of the Minnesota Association of School Administrators.
Inside the state capitol sat Gov. Mark Dayton, education commissioner Brenda Cassellius and legislative leaders, hammering out the details over one of three remaining bills required to end a crippling government shutdown. While a massive deferral of payment to the state's schools seemed inevitable, different stakeholders still thought they might be able to salvage either some money or some reforms to education policy.
Minnesota's government shutdown necessitated an immediate compromise of sorts. A tentative budget deal announced Thursday largely delayed the handling of the state's financial woes to the next biennial budget.
In the case of education funding, legislators thought it best to use money owed to schools to balance Minnesota's beleaguered budget: school districts would only receive 60 percent of what's owed to them, with the remaining 40 percent scheduled to be paid in the next fiscal year. The deferment would plug about $2 billion of the state's $5 billion deficit. The state would give schools $128 million to cover some extra borrowing fees and increase per pupil funding by about $50.
The state has turned to its schools in the past for such budget stemming, but until now, it has never taken this much money.
"I abhor it. They wear pennies on their lapels, the Republicans in the state house," Mindy Greiling, the leading Democrat on the House education finance committee, told HuffPost. "They will not think of raising any revenue. With no end in sight, I question if the deferred money is ever going to be paid back."
As Dayton wrote in a letter, "continuing the state government shutdown would be even more destructive for too many Minnesotans." He agreed with the proposals, he wrote, to "spare our citizens and our state from further damage." He expects to convene a special session once the bills are finalized.
The funding shift means that school districts across the state will have to borrow at least 10 percent more than they initially expected. The difference in the new figures for interest on that borrowing could cost districts a few teachers, librarians or arts programs.
Spokespeople for Dayton and Cassellius said they were both too busy negotiating to comment. According to Kyte, they were hammering out the details over measures that might help with absorbing the costs of extra borrowing: a series of reforms that Republicans had pushed for to begin with -- including allowing teachers to be fired by merit instead of solely seniority, making tenure harder to obtain and limiting teachers' broad striking rights.
According to Greiling, Minnesota owes its schools $3.2 billion when taking into account property taxes and pro-rated special education programming. "We have an increasing flood of school districts going to four-day weeks -- not because it's good for students, but just because they need to save money," she said. Schools are increasing class sizes, dropping extracurricular activities and firing teachers.
She called the $128 million and the per pupil increase a "fig leaf" provided by Dayton, who had initially halted Republican plans to grade schools on a letter basis, school vouchers and institute an $82 million teacher evaluation system.
Mary Cathryn Ricker, president of the St. Paul Federation of Teachers, says she expects her district to pay $450,000 in interest. "Librarians will probably thin out," she said. "We're looking at reduced support staff. It's an accounting gimmick."
Minnesota's schools can't take much more stress, said Timothy Berndt, an engineering teacher at Edina High School. Over the last eight years, he said, he'd been pink-slipped two or three times because he wasn't tenured. This year, he didn't have a classroom budget. And of the 15 teachers he started with, by the end of the year, he was one of just three left with a job for next year.
"It's putting a band aid on a big issue," Berndt said of the budget compromise. "We didn't deal with this two years ago. In a few years, we'll have the same problem again."
His district's superintendent, Ric Dressen, doesn't know where Edina will end up. The deal would defer the payment of $20 million of his $80 million budget. To plug the hole, he plans on borrowing the money. "It's going to be a significant amount of money and we'll have to address that," he said. "We continue to be challenged, trying to do our programming and support with the funds we have available. We're trying to maintain class sizes."
Last year, the district had to borrow $8 million, and paid $150,000 in interest.
Katie Campbell, 27, grew up in Edina. But by the time she returned home, after a respite from Minnesota in college and for graduate school at Columbia University's teacher college, she found herself caught in the middle of the state's financial woes.
She returned in June, hoping to land a job teaching in Minneapolis. But when she called the state's education department on July 1, the line was dead -- because of the shutdown. Schools she has spoken with about potential work don't know how many teachers they can hire because of the financial situation. Those who do still can't hire her at the moment: Campbell needs a state teaching license, but that process has been halted by the shutdown as well.
In the meantime, she's living in her parents' house, going through boxes in her basement, walking her dog and passing time designing a website for her stepfather, a cabinet builder. "It's really frustrating," she said. "I thought it would be way easier to get a job here coming from New York City, with all the hiring freezes. Getting back there and having this happen when I moved back, I thought, 'oh my gosh, I just can't catch a break.'"
The state constitution requires Minnesota to balance its budget -- and Greiling said she might introduce a constitutional amendment to prohibit saving the state's finances by cutting into school funds.
"The Republican leadership will have to beat up the Republican rank and file to vote for this because Democrats aren't going to," Greiling said. "Otherwise the shutdown will continue."

Between Us
Based on the off-Broadway success of the same name, writer Joe Hortua and director Dan Mirvish teamed up to deliver a powerful and intense film adaptation of this darkly comedic drama wherein two couples reunite for an evening together, only to discover that the longtime friends have drifted apart their interests, hopes and dreams have changed dramatically. The night is a disaster- the wealthy hosts may be successful but their "happy marriage" is a hot mess. Appalled by their differences, their newlywed guests remark upon leaving "We're not like them". Two years later, however, they receive a surprise visit from their "ex" friends, only to realize that they are really not "like them" – they are in fact much, much worse. And with the tables of fortune changed, all aspects of friendship, marriage, and morality are targets on the viscous dartboard, as facades are ripped off and false dreams are shattered.

Training colleges warned not to promise places
Universities hit out over limbo as TDA urges them not to make firm offers
Teacher training course leaders have been warned not to make any firm offers to students before October's comprehensive spending review (CSR) amid predictions that the sector is facing drastic cuts.
Universities have attacked the "anxiety" caused by having to wait until the autumn to hear if their budgets will be axed.
The Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) has written to training colleges telling them not to make offers or "promises" to potential students, or give details about the funding available to them.
Colleges traditionally start assessing applications in September - but the CSR will not take place until the following month. Senior academic staff have warned that uncertainty over funding will jeopardise recruitment of new trainees. They say they have been left in limbo over how many teachers they will be able to train in 2011, despite starting recruitment next month.
"We recognise you wish to start recruiting; our advice remains the same. Avoid making firm unconditional offers until we have confirmed your allocation," Jeremy Coninx, TDA director of funding, wrote in the letter.
Bursaries for trainees and "golden hellos" - payments to those who teach shortage subjects - are also under review.
Roger Woods, chair of the Universities Council for the Education of Teachers, said: "The TDA will obviously make a decision based on what's available to them, but if they cut bursaries and golden hellos there's a danger that will have an impact on recruitment.
"The fact there might be cuts is a big worry and there is a lot of uncertainty at universities."
Kit Field, dean of education at Wolverhampton University, agreed. "This makes planning difficult; there is uncertainty but we don't blame the TDA. (Education Secretary) Michael Gove has said he won't cut front-line services - what we want to know is what is front line?
"Does teacher training count? We need to prepare for the fact that numbers in 2011 could change," he said.
The TDA has again warned lecturers that if they over-recruit students they will have to foot course costs themselves. In the past, they could go 6 per cent over target. Overall numbers are decided by the Department for Education, and allocated to universities by the TDA based on their Ofsted performance.
"It's very hard for universities to work in this way, particularly those who run undergraduate courses where students apply to lots of other places," said Des Hewitt, assistant head of teacher education at Derby University.
Universities also fear expensive teacher training courses, such as the four-year undergraduate course, could be axed.
Training is gaining
Recruitment in the past academic year was "buoyant", according to the TDA, but there is a "growing" need for more primary teachers.
Numbers training to be a teacher on postgraduate courses have doubled in ten years, from 5,240 in 1999 to 11,441 in 2009. The numbers training on undergraduate courses have stayed static, from 5,795 in 1999 to 6,228 in 2009.
Half of all trainee teachers are now aged over 25, compared to 46 per cent ten years ago. Fewer new primary teachers found jobs in 2009; 78 per cent got their QTS status and a teaching post compared to 80 per cent in 2008.
- Original headline: Training colleges warned not to promise places as cuts loom
Comment (1)
The timing of this was well planned................Right in the middle of the summer holidays!!!!
Currently, November 2010, teacher training course leaders are still under orders not to make any firm offers to students despite October's comprehensive spending review, though the TDA have relaxed one or two 'rules' so as to avoid major problems in recruiting priority maths & science recruits.
Unable to plan for staffing, costing etc Gove's dithering on this issue is in danger of causing huge damage to teacher recruitment for many years to come. Everyone is aware of the education rhetoric Gove has waffled about, creating more 'choice' for a few and pushing through an agenda of elitism wrapped up as (his version) of 'quality'.
How Mr. Gove can inflict this kind of damage on the education system without any form of electoral mandate from the people of this country? I believe the result of the election was 'none of the above' when the Con-Dem party made their grab for power, not a vote for an extreme right-wing-market-driven, but rather dithering, agenda.

Criticising the meeting between Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari, BJP spokesman M J Akbar today attacked her for "politics of the 19th century" and dubbed the religious leader a middleman of the ruling party.
"Sonia Gandhi is doing politics of 19th century with the people of 21st century. She is just treating Muslims as a commodity. Please stop purchasing a community with the help of a middleman who has lost credibility," Akbar told reporters here.
He was referring to the meeting between a delegation of Muslim leaders led by Bukhari and Gandhi this week during which she had reportedly asked them to ensure that secular votes did not split in the Lok Sabha elections.
"In the last 10 years, Muslims have not got any jobs, any development. Instead of jobs, the Congress is giving hot air and old rotten politics to Muslims. Please stop treating my community like this.
"Do not drop them into a basket of fear. Treat them as Indians. Treat them with equality in status," Akbar said.
The former Congress MP alleged that the UPA government had decided to set up a special development fund for 90 "minority heavy districts" in the country, but did not spend a single paisa for three years.
Akbar claimed that Muslims under the Prime Ministership of Narendra Modi would have better development than under the UPA.
Speaking about Gujarat, Akbar said Muslims enjoyed equal status statistically compared to states like West Bengal.
"In West Bengal, the Muslim comprise 28 per cent of the total population and they are in only 2 per cent of government jobs. However in Gujarat, Muslim population is just 9 per cent and they are in more than 5 per cent of the total government jobs," he added.
That the number of applicants to Haj was more from Gujarat was a testimony to better economic conditions in the state, he claimed.
"After 10 years of crime, corruption, helplessness and joblessness, we are looking for the next 10 years of prosperity, jobs and development under Modi... It is time to bring confidence back on the engine of youth in India," the senior journalist said.
On the issue of Gujarat riots, Akbar said it should be considered a "closed chapter" as "intense scrutiny of Modi in the last 10 years could not hold him guilty personally".
Asked about China's construction of big dams over Brahmaputra on their side, he said, "Any

A Steamy Affair In Tambun
It's not something you expect to see, but on the walls of one of the limestone caves deep in Tambun, Perak, are some markings that might be dismissed as careless graffiti at first. A closer examination reveals that they are actually Japanese characters that link to Tambun's past. Apparently, the messages, mostly names in Japanese and expressions of homesickness, are believed to have been written by the Japanese soldiers who were in Ipoh in the 1940s.

Keeping their people in chains
North Korea | North Korea's nuclear program draws world attention away from its toll of human misery
"It go boom."
That's what Asian analyst Jeffrey Lewis posted on Twitter after he got word from the U.S. Geological Survey of a 5.1 magnitude explosion in North Korea. Lewis, who directs the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, knew it was no earthquake.
North Korea's Feb. 12 test was significantly larger than its two previous tests—in 2006 (4.3) and 2009 (4.7). At an initially estimated 6-7 kilotons, it's no match for the megaton nuclear devices the United States has in its arsenal. But as Lewis points out, North Korea is no longer incompetently following a U.S. or Soviet nuclear development path: "With fewer tests, North Korea is trying to move more quickly to larger, deliverable warheads based on the experience of others."
The ultimate goal: a stockpile of missile-delivered thermonuclear weapons.
"The nuclear bomb is small in size but devastating in power," a state newscaster boasted on North Korean television that night, making clear that the communist regime's aim is to target the United States and its ally, South Korea. Residents in Seoul actually felt tremors from February's underground blast, and as some took to the streets in fear, North Korean officials threatened the South with "final destruction."
Officials say they hope to conduct one or two more nuclear tests this year in an effort to force the United States into diplomatic talks. But the regime of Kim Jong-un and his predecessors is notoriously unable to come to any negotiating table: North Korea is built on unblinking loyalty, even worship, of the ruling Kim family combined with the fervently held doctrine of juche, or self-reliance. Juche holds that man "is the master of everything and decides everything," according to the government's website. And it demands that any departure from official dictates be severely punished. That's why North Korea has the fourth-largest army in the world—and why military prowess advances while ordinary citizens suffer.
One week after the test, two survivors of North Korea's state gulag testified before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Shin Dong-hyuk and Kang Chol-hwan say the state's political prison system is incarcerating 200,000 "criminals"—many of them Christians—in Holocaust-like camps: "Fundamentally, it is the same as Hitler's Auschwitz," testified Kang.
"People think the Holocaust is in the past, but it is still very much a reality. It is still going on in North Korea," Shin told reporters on the sidelines of the human-rights summit. He is the only known surviving escapee from a "total control zone" camp—where three generations of his family had been held until he broke free seven years ago at age 23. When at 22 Shin met a new prisoner, he was unaware of any alternative reality existing outside the camps.
Kang told the Geneva audience that Pyongyang's recent nuclear test was meant as a warning not only to the outside world but also to potential regime opponents within the country. "It is the international community's duty to help them light the fire of resistance," he said.
Others agree that without the nuclear threat Pyongyang cannot get Washington's attention. "A North Korea without nuclear weapons," writes Sohn Gwang Joo, director of Daily NK, "is just a regime burdened by economic woes, inflicting human rights abuses on its people. … Only with nuclear weapons are they able to maintain their regime, hidden away from the world. This is how they keep their people in chains: through military tension."

Libya's two largest cities are under the control of Islamist militias. With its parliament taking refuge elsewhere, the country seems to have outsourced the fightto a septuagenarian general a track-record of turning-coat.

Kofi Kingston not retiring
Since he has not been given a push until recently, many were under the assumption that Kofi Kingston was not happy in WWE. Some believed that he would be better off walking away. However, Kingston never even entertained the thought of retirement. In fact, he still enjoys working for the company despite not being featured as much as someone as talented as him should be. Kingston plans to remain with WWE for a while.

Hair unfortunately gets thinner as you age. A common misconception is that grey hair is coarser, but in fact grey hairs are usually finer in diameter. This is because oils glands tend to produce less sebum as you get older, which dries the hair giving you the appearance of coarseness.
We suggest you use both a scalp and hair mask at least once a week to help promote healthy hair and a healthy scalp. While there are many available on the market, such as our Stimulating and Exfoliating scalp masks and Elasticizer treatment, you can make your own combined hair & scalp treatment at home if desired.
Mix together:
2 eggs
2 half eggshells of witchhazel
Half an eggshell of vodka
Apply the liquid liberally to your scalp and all through your hairs' length. Massage gently and thoroughly for ten minutes and then wash off with the correct shampoo and conditioner for your hair texture. Although this is effective, individual hair and scalp masks will give an even better result.
Comments2 Responses to "DIY HAIR & SCALP TREATMENT FOR AGEING HAIR"
What purpose does the astringent serve in the DIY hair treatment: egg, witch hazel and vodka.
Thank you.

Has anyone used the kids eat free cards? For £10 per child you get a card which entitles the child to eat free as long as there is full paying adult.
It covers a big area and participating restaurants include Ponderosa, Sizzlers Restaurant, CiCis Pizza, Cattlemans Steakhouse, McDonalds Bistro, NASCAR Sports Grille, the Butcher Shop Steakhouse, Basking Robbins, Pacinos Italian Restaurant, Passage to India Restaurant and many more. Of course they can't be used in the parks.
What do you think guys is it worth it? Has anyone tried it and had problems?

Doctors warn against extended amounts of time outside
As temperatures plummet after the first snow storm of the new year, the layers pile on.
For many families, snow and bitter cold is nothing to steer clear of.
Maria Hartman brought her nieces out for sledding Friday afternoon. "Absolutely the opposite! You just have to go out and have fun and it's about having an experience with the kids but don't forget that it's absolutely fun for us too," she said.
"Some states don't even get this, like California, Florida. So it's just fun to play in it because it doesn't come all year," said 9-year-old Johan Shattuck.
Parents were certainly taking advantage of a chance to get the kids outside, but still paying close attention.
"If they start complaining, then it's time to go," said Johan's mother, Emily.
"Kids are kids, and kids are definitely going to play in the snow but it's definitely not recommended to stay out there for extended periods of time. They're going to play and you definitely want them to be supervised, but certainly when it gets to an a hour or two hours, you don't want them to be there longer because in addition to potential injuries, you see infections, " said Dr. Emmanuel Oke, Sinai Hospital Emergency Medicine,
Even so, Dr. Oke says it's not kids playing outdoors for a few hours that are most susceptible to cold weather injuries. It is those who are outside for extended amounts of time, like the homeless.
We may feel a big difference between 40 and 15 degree weather and but Dr. Oke says medically, there isn't that much of a distinction.
"Anything can happen at 10 degree weather and freezing temperatures. So it's not a specific number, it's just to be cautious," Dr. Oke said.
Dr. Oke also explained that it is possible to bundle up too much, specifically for babies under a year old.
He said be sure to check them to make sure they are not sweating and getting dehydrated.

Hearing postponed for accused bingo thieves
The trial of a mother-daughter team accused of pilfering more than $700,000 in bingo, pull-tab and carnival proceeds from the now-dormant Swoyersville Volunteer Hose Company 1 has been postponed until Jan. 7.
Catherine Drago, 81, and Carol Gamble, 50, had been scheduled for trial Monday on charges of theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception, theft by failure to make required disposition and criminal conspiracy.
Drago was the treasurer of the fire company. Gamble, her daughter, was president. Together they had exclusive control over the funds, prosecutors said. No one else from the company was allowed to tally, bundle, transport or handle the money.
According to an audit by the state Bureau of Charitable Organizations, $734,748 of the company's income generated between January 2004 and November 2007 went unaccounted for.
According to the bureau, Drago provided an incomplete record of the fire company's finances and later admitted she provided false information on a public disclosure form.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Emergencies are so-called because it's hard to predict when they will happen.
That's certainly the case in the delivery room, where about 10 percent of all babies born need some kind of extra help transitioning to the world. Given that there are 4 million births a year, that's about 400,000 babies to think about. Of those, 1 percent need more extensive immediate care, such as a tube insertion to help with breathing, chest compressions or some other kind of medical intervention.
Nurses and delivery room staff are trained to handle these kind of scenarios, but it helps to have practice. That's the thinking behind the work done by the neonatal outreach education team from Christiana Care Health System. The team works with staff from local hospitals using a newborn simulator mannequin to help them anticipate and respond to emergency situations.
The mannequin, known as Newborn HAL, mimics a full-term baby at birth. The interactive simulator looks and sounds like the real thing, from the way it cries, its heart beats and even the way its skin coloring changes. It can be programmed to have the kind of problem a newborn might have at birth, such as an audible heart defect, breathing difficulties or requiring an IV insertion.
Staff can identify and treat these issues in advance of an actual emergency, so they are prepared if one arises. Nurses, respiratory therapists, pediatricians and even emergency department staff are among those who are trained using Newborn HAL's programmable emergencies.
"It is an awesome tool, as close to real life as you can get," said Dr. Wendy Sturtz, an attending neonatologist at Christiana Care, who is part of the training team. "We can run through different scenarios, so we'll present a scene, such as a baby who is born not breathing. They have to run through how they would handle that. Then we debrief them and teach them how the situation could have gone better."
Such simulations are beneficial because they give staff the chance to see the changes that occur in the newborn as they are implementing the interventions, said Jennifer Novack, a clinical specialist nurse at Milford Memorial Hospital, part of Bayhealth Medical Center.
"They can hear a baby cry. They can hear a lung sound," Novack said. "Nobody has to tell them that, like in a class with a doll that doesn't respond and they have to ask questions."
Sturtz said the NICU team has trained staff at Bayhealth Medical Center, Nanticoke Hospital in Seaford, Union Hospital in Elkton, Md., and Jennersville Regional Hospital in West Grove, Pa. These are among the hospitals that send critically ill newborns to Christiana Care's neonatal intensive care unit, which provides the highest level care in the state.
The portability of Newborn HAL is another asset because it encourages the hospital staff to look at ways they could change their own practices.
"It forces them to use supplies they have. They know in their own setting where necessary equipment is," Sturtz said.
Simulators like Newborn HAL are increasingly common at larger hospitals and universities as a training tool for staff. The University of Delaware not only uses HAL but also a laboring mother to help teach students in a safe, realistic setting, said Judith Herrman, a nursing professor at UD.
Even veteran nurses can get rattled by an unexpected emergency during birth. But knowing in advance what to do helps keep the focus on the patient, Novack said.
"Learning like this is a non-threatening way," she said. "You don't feel so stressed out. You know you're not going to hurt the baby. You can practice and go back and relearn."
