The Shout Over Cloth Diapers: Is the Eco-Payoff Really Worth the Initiative?
I have 2 youngsters. I did not towel baby diaper them, nor did I attempt that elimination communication thing where you aim to analyze your child's different faces in order to correctly forecast when you need to hold their naked base over a blending dish that you will presumably never once again use for cooking objectives. If I estimate we underwent an average of 6 baby diapers a day for each and every child, that's a total amount of 8,760 non reusable diapers I sent out to garbage dumps throughout the initial two years of their lives.
The grand total amount is even more than that, of course, since I don't remember either among my kids supplanting their second birthday celebration by unexpectedly deciding to be potty trained.
We are well past the baby diaper phase now and also I have exactly no strategies to revisit it ever before again, excepting drastic unanticipated scenarios like needing to drive cross-country to confront a charming rival or holding an 11-hour filibuster, however my efforts to lead a much more environmentally friendly lifestyle have led me to question: if I needed to do it around once again, would certainly I utilize cloth this moment?
I'll be truthful, I never even considered it when my kids were little, since it appeared like a whole lot of additional job. I had not been even interested in informing myself on the topic, disposables simply seemed like the method to go.
I Will certainly Never ever Live Without Paper Towels (but Do not Tell Anybody).
Towel diapering seems to have actually come back in style recently, thanks to simpler bolts as well as super-cute fabrics. I have actually long suspected that the trend of revealing off cute baby butts swaddled in distinctive patterns has actually led to a rise in the number of people that urge that towel diapering is better for the setting.
There's no question that disposable baby diapers develop a Great Deal Of waste.
Around 27.4 billion disposable baby diapers are made use of each year in the United States, causing a feasible 3.4 million lots of utilized baby diapers added to landfills every year. One study approximates that the $7 billion buck non reusable baby diaper industry uses over 300 extra pounds of wood, 50 extra pounds of oil feedstocks, and 20 pounds of chlorine for each and every child per year.
Those numbers seem jaw-droppingly horrible, up until you consider that cloth diapering likewise has an adverse affect on the setting. Fabric baby diapers consume big quantities of electrical power and also water for cleaning and also drying, and industrial diaper solution delivery trucks eat gas and develop air contamination.
Well, however what concerning those toxins in disposable diapers, the ones some individuals say can leach from garbage dumps to infect ground water?
According to the EPA:.
Disposable diapers fall under the category of municipal strong waste, which indicates the material is safe to be disposed of in an U.S. local strong waste land fill. In the United States, modern landfills are well-engineered centers that lie, made, operated, and also kept track of to make sure compliance with federal policies which aim to safeguard the atmosphere from contaminants which might be present in the strong waste stream.
Invest simply a couple of mins diving down Google's various educational rabbit-holes, and also you can find numerous debates both for and also versus towel baby diapers, in addition to exhaustive studies that inevitably caused a kind of intricate shrug from the professionals.
" Disposables consume more resources and produce even more strong waste … yet towel diaper manufacturing and use eat more water and also power as well as produce more … climatic discharges and waste water effluent," creates Allen Hershkowitz of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Video: Cloth in Lindale
And afterwards theres this regarding Baby diapers:.
" Both the non reusable and also reusable baby diaper choices create strong waste and also wastewater that should be treated and/or disposed. Much more strong waste is produced with the disposal option, while more wastewater is created with the multiple-use choice," composes Jeremy O'Brien, director of used study at the Solid Waste Organization of The United States and Canada.
Darned if you do, damned if you do not. Perhaps that blending dish isn't really such a poor idea besides.

So just how's a parent intended to filter via all the different opinions in order to make the environmentally-friendly selection?
I do not know that there's a one-size-fits-all answer to the great baby diaper dispute.
My individual sensation is that cloth is the far better choice for those devoted to living green, given that you could do points like line dry the fabrics, purchase energy effective appliances, laundry on chilly, and so on. A three-year research by the London-based Environmental Company wrapped up that there was "no substantial distinction" in between the ecological influence of towel as well as non reusable diapers– however they do clear up that actions could be taken to minimize the effect of towel diapering:.
The environmental influences of utilizing shaped reusable baby diapers could be higher or less than using disposables, depending on just how they are laundered. In contrast to making use of non reusable baby diapers, it is consumers' actions after purchase that establishes the majority of the impacts from reusable baby diapers.
In spite of our best interests, disposables simply obtain included the garbage, and also there's no chance around that.
It's not even known how much time it takes for a disposable baby diaper to disintegrate.
Hundreds of years, yes, but the number of exactly? Nobody's certain.
I feel like I've come around to thinking that towel diapering is the much more liable decision– and also the much less pricey one over the lengthy term– but would certainly I walk the stroll? I have very demanding memories of those early parenting days, and I'm not sure that I 'd have been able to devote to cloth. Weary as well as anxious and also, you know, very much currently sinking under a hill of washing.
But maybe I would certainly have, if I 'd invested a long time right into taking into consideration the options prior to me rather than thoughtlessly going with just what seemed simplest.

Galib Andang, alias Commander Robot
Andang, who was in his late 30s, was accused of leading the mass kidnapping of 21 Western tourists and Asian tourism workers on the Malaysian resort of Sipadan in April 2000.
They were held for several months on the southern Philippines island of Jolo.
He was captured in December 2003 after a gun battle between the rebels and the military in which he lost a leg.
Alhamser Limbong, alias Commander Kosovo
Limbong was allegedly involved in the kidnapping of 20 people on the southern island of Palawan in May 2001. Most were ethnic Chinese and Filipino tourists but there were also three Americans, missionaries Martin and Gracia Burnham from Kansas, and Californian Guillermo Sobero.
The hostages were later taken into jungles on the island of Jolo. Sobero was beheaded by the Abu Sayyaf soon afterwards. Martin Burnham was killed during a rescue attempt in June 2002, but his wife survived.
Limbong was also on trial for the bombing of a ferry in Manila Bay last year, which killed more than 100 people.
Nadzmie Sabtulah, alias Commander Global
Sabtulah was the first of the Abu Sayyaf leaders to be captured, in July 2001, and had a 5m-peso ($100,000) bounty on his head.
He was accused of involvement in several kidnappings, including the Sipadan incident.
He was said to be the "intellectual" of the Abu Sayyaf group - softly-spoken, articulate, and impassioned about his Muslim cause.

Learn About Men's Name Jewelry
In all forms of personalized jewelry there are variations for both men and women and the same is true for name jewelry. Men's name jewelry differs slightly from typical women's name jewelry in the same ways that men's jewelry in general differs from that of a woman. These small changes in materials and design create a more manly feeling that allows men to feel comfortable wearing fine jewelry.
Types of Men's Name Jewelry
Possibly surprising to some, there is a large market for men's name jewelry that's quickly changing the norm of jewelry as a women's item. There are now many different types of name jewelry that represent the manly style of jewelry that men look for when deciding what accessories they can add to an outfit.
Name rings are ever present in the mind of a male shopper considering fine jewelry. Many rings for men are reminiscent of sports championship rings and add a wonderful look to any outfit. These rings could be customized with any type of text or symbols of your favorite sports team or college sorority.
One popular running theme in the market for men's name jewelry is that of dog tags for men. These pieces are as manly as they get with designs meant to resemble military dog tags. Dog tags for men present one constantly present theme in men's name jewelry and that is the theme of metals.
Metals and Other Materials
Metals are a strong presence in men's name jewelry for one reason. Metals are manly. Metals are heavy and tough. Army equipment is made of metal, cars are made of metal, construction equipment is made of metal, and Iron Man is made of metal. There is no better material to make a man feel proud and strong than cold hard titanium or steel.
Metals are one of the best materials for personalized jewelry in any case as they are easily worked with and many jewelers can expertly engrave metals with nearly any text or image of your choice. The best example of this of course is the men's dog tag. Dog tag necklaces are always made of some form of metal just as they are in their military role.
Men can of course also order name jewelry made of materials generally considered to be girly. But then again, how many rappers walk around with diamond studded gold chains? In the end, whatever your tastes, there are options available for you in men's name jewelry.
Men's Name Jewelry
Name jewelry is a product that is not and never should be limited to women. Many wonderful options are available for customization of men's name jewelry that will make a man feel elegant but tough and strong. With the right piece you might even find that your name jewelry makes you feel like one of Hollywood's rappers.
One major reason that men's name jewelry has gained such popularity is the traditionally manly materials used in attractive pieces such as dog tags for men and men's necklaces. Metals play a huge role is the various forms of men's names jewelry including name rings. Metals make their wearer feel tough and strong. One of the toughest metals is titanium and makes and excellent dog tag or name necklace.
For those of you who take the popular path of being 'gangsta' there are a plethora of fine choices of gold, white gold and silver pieces. These can easily be designed to be studded with diamonds that will no doubt, go great with your grillz.
These are also all options for name rings and all name jewelry. Even name earrings draw a big crowd from men with studs and diamonds that are often customized to include a name or initials.
All men's name jewelry would make an excellent gift for anybody you know that enjoys style and elegance. A birthday or Christmas would be the best times to give these gifts and make sure you've picked a piece customized to the tastes of the man you know. Include his name or maybe of a symbol of a band or sports team that he loves. If your son is about ready to return to a year in college, consider getting him a customized ring with his name and fraternity symbol engrained. These pieces of men's jewelry will no doubt be a hit with his friends.

Cash4Gold Sues Consumerist, Complaints Board Over Reports On Cash4Gold Practices
from the how-much-for-that-gold-Streisand-Effect? dept
While Cash4Gold apparently backed off such threats, it did go forward and get an injunction against the former employee to stop her from "publishing any more confidential, proprietary information, and any defamatory information on the internet." I like how it mixes in confidential, proprietary and defamatory information -- so now we don't know which the original reports were. Were they defamatory lies? Or were they just confidential, proprietary information?
Either way, with that injunction, the company contacted Complaints Board -- the site where the employee originally put forth the allegations -- and Consumerist, who also posted on the allegations, and demanded they remove the posts. Of course, with no legal order, both sites refused to do so. In response, Cash4Gold has now sued both sites, once again guaranteeing that much more media attention is paid to alleged claims of underhanded business practices by the company.
Of course, rather than backing down, Consumerist is fighting this and has posted a lengthy and detailed article reviewing the original claims, backing many of them up with additional reporting details and pointing out that this is an ongoing news story that it believes it has every right to write about. Once again, though, we're left wondering why Cash4Gold would do this. All it's doing is drawing that much more attention to the claims against it.
The Citizen Media Law Project post above details two additional factoids about how Cash4Gold's lawyers are trying to get around the rather obvious (it seems) Section 230 safe harbors that almost certainly protect Complaint Board. First, they claim that because Complaint Board edited the title of the post, they're no longer just a service provider, but "created, developed and published." That seems like a long shot. Perhaps more likely to succeed is a reference to the recent Barnes ruling, where Section 230 was tossed out the window after the company promised to delete the content in question (and then didn't). Of course, it's not clear if Complaint Board did, in fact, promise that, but Cash4Gold claims that it did.

It was once
more than a year ago
when I had not
chosen to be here
But as always, Fate
chooses as She pleases
and giggles as She teases
The sunset views as I walked
along the plains
and as I lay down on the tiny, rustic jetty
overlooking the graceful streaks of colors in the sky
and listen to the silent whispers of the idyllic lake
as it caresses the soul, and heart
with ripples, and bubbles, of pleasure and leisure
The flowerbeds of myriad colors
brightly seeps in my heart as I pleasantly walk
along the peaceful aisles,
each morning
the yellow sweethearts
fresh and serenely joyful
remind of love and care
A gentle touch, sweet and mild
left imprints of finesse,
slowly and steadily
made my heart light, like a feather in the wind
and soulfully sweet, like chirping birds in the woods
To leave a place,
there are mixed feelings, of course
as one would have, when one has loved
As I take the slow, reluctant
and sometimes poignant, walk
away from Curtin and Miri,
I wonder:
Will the faithful stars look as fine, as I look at them
so beautifully here?
Will the flowers and landscape evoke the same
passion and romance, of the darlings I have here?
Will tranquility be, a trusted companion still?
And will there be cycles of joy and contentment
as I have here in the early mornings
and late evenings?
So many uncertainties
so many dilemmas
playing so playfully, in the realms of my heart
giggling, as it sees me torn between
a choice of heart and mind
There is solace however,
for I always believe
"There is a reason for everything
and everything is always reasonable."
What more,
I do not, and must not,
wait for things which...

Many organizations are required to meet compliance regulations, and the numbers are only growing, fueled by constantly evolving legislation that creates new rules, requirements and auditing procedures. With the growth of regulations, more and more businesses will feel the burden of compliance, while those already impacted will undoubtedly have more rules levied against them.
The funny thing here though is that most compliance requirements are seen by businesses as an unnecessary burden that was legislated into existence to protect external entities. However, properly enforced compliance policies can protect organizations from a myriad of problems - ranging from security breaches to lawsuits to corporate espionage, an irony appreciated by very few.
Simply put, enforcing compliance rules makes good business sense and compliance has a symbiotic relationship with the procedures and requirements dictated by computer security. On another level, compliance, like security, is all about managing risk - where the risk associated with compliance failures can include financial impact (fines), data loss (intrusions), lost business (customer impacts), or even a suspension of operations. The risks associated with a failure to properly secure IT are very similar, if not duplicated, as compared to compliance risks. The only major difference is that most security practices are optional, while compliance is required.
That said, it becomes easy to see how security and compliance play hand in hand with risk management and compliance enforcement (as well as auditing) has its roots in enterprise security. However, that realization does nothing to ease the burdens of compliance and security - yet it does give some insight into how those burdens can be reduced.
Simply put, it becomes a matter of efficiencies - one where unification of risk management, security management and risk management can lead to an economy of scale. In other words, unified management of those three distinct, yet intrinsically related elements can bring about efficiencies that lessen the burdens imposed, both in time and budgets.
Nevertheless, it takes more than an ideology of unification to solve those problems; it takes tangible elements as well - starting with the proper tools. For example, unified security management tools that offer integration and management modules can often combine risk management, compliance initiatives and security controls into a singly managed element, converting compliance to little more than an extension of policy based security enforcement.
With the proper tool set selected, compliance management as well as risk management can become natural extensions of security management, offering managers a clear path to establishing compliance, protecting data and enforcing policy. It will be that holistic approach that will reduce costs, while enhancing the benefits of all three.

I immediately felt at ease with Jasmine. I found her to be warm, caring and very kind. I was hoping for information that would help with my personal growth, and answers to a few questions I had.

She addressed some issues before I could ask the question. The information was beyond any of my previous experiences. I am also very appreciative of her support and encouragement of my own growth and development.

Respiratory, Inflammation & Autoimmunity
Taming inflammation, rebalancing immunity
The consequences of an immune system out of balance can be disastrous—debilitating respiratory, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Our scientists have built one of the richest, most diverse immunomodulatory portfolios in the industry, focused on conditions from asthma and lupus to multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Disease Focus
We're on a perpetual mission toward understanding immune-mediated inflammatory diseases at the cellular and molecular level, and exploring novel pathways and therapeutics for respiratory conditions. Our current investigations focus on conditions from asthma, COPD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, to lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.
Flow Cytometry
Understanding the cell populations that drive disease offer us the ability to study human disease where it happens. This deep profiling helps us to uncover important pathways and mechanisms, ultimately giving us the knowledge we need to design and develop customized therapies.
Understanding our patient populations is essential for developing successful therapies. This is particularly true for heterogenous conditions such as asthma, lupus and COPD, among others. Techniques that include systems immunology help us to customize therapies to the molecular needs of patients.
MS occurs when oligodendrocytes fail in their work of remyelination. New imaging techniques are helping us to understand more about the mechanisms of myelination—including what goes wrong. As we scrutinize these steps, we're arming ourselves with information that may help us to manipulate them at the cellular level, thus improving the efficiency of myelination.
CD40 drives early-life immune dysregulation--new insights into autoimmune pathogenesis
Science and the millions of patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype have much to consider this week as we reveal important pivotal phase 3 study data about benralizumab at this year's European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress held in London.
Autoimmunity may be happening much earlier than we previously thought. This was our hypothesis that we took into the lab in collaboration with leading experts. This week, the findings from our pre-clinical work were published in Science Translational Medicine.Read more

Permanent markers are a wonderful thing, that is until there is an accident. Anyone with children knows it doesn't take long for the kids to leave permanent works of art all over the house. Of course, there is always that time little Sally thought she would draw her doll some new makeup. Other accidents can include goofing off or just being careless. Find a nicely decorated item at a rummage sale or maybe a new house came equipped with little marks here and there? Common places for those works of arts and accidents are on desk, walls, mp3 players, cell phones, toys, cabinets, computers and tables. Try these tips before totally freaking out over the little mishap or tossing it to the curb.
Cleaning Eraser:
These are little white sponge like cleaners found in the cleaning section of stores. These work on some permanent marks, but not all.
Take a dab of toothpaste and smear it onto the surface, directly where the marks are. Now rub it in and then white it away with a slightly damp cloth. Make sure to select regular, non-abrasive toothpaste. Abrasive can make scratches or damage the finish of some surfaces, especially wood and lcd screens.
Hairspray works wonders on slick surfaces, like plastic or metal. Simply hold a cloth or paper towel tightly below the marks. Then spray the marks away. As the it sprays, the marker should run with the hairspray liquid. It needs to be caught as it drips and wiped completely up. Be sure to wash the surface afterwards. Do not use this method on wood surfaces.
Sunscreen Lotion:
Seems crazy but this will work for some marker stains. Best of all this is safer to use on some surfaces because it's not stick like the hairspray and will not scratch surfaces.
Dry Erase Marker:
Go over the permanent marks, rewetting them and wipe them away.
Rubbing Alcohol:
Rubbing alcohol can be used to remove permanent marker but should only be used on nonpermeable surfaces. Wet the mark and wipe away.
Bug Spray:
This would be an aerosol canned regular bug spray like Cutter or Off. Simply spray the permanent marker, marks with the bug spray. Be sure to use a cloth of some sort to catch any that drips and to wipe away. Do not use bug spray on anything a child or pet might put in their mouth. Only use this on wood as a last resort.
How well does it work?
Some of these methods will work on all surfaces. Others will be trial and error. However, at least one of these methods should work. In some cases, it will fade the permanent marker but still leave some trace. Shades of red are the most difficult of all to remove from surfaces. Absorbent materials are also harder to work with than hard when removing permanent marker.

Ranjit's relatives cry foul; claim its politics at play
The arrest of Ranjit Singh has shocked his relatives and villagers in Bihar, but they are not willing to dub him as a scamster yet.india Updated: Nov 26, 2003 20:21 IST
The arrest of Dr Ranjit Singh, alias Ranjit Don, in the CAT papers leak case has shocked his relatives and villagers in Bihar, but they are not willing to dub him as a scamster yet.
"My son-in-law has done no wrong. He been framed due to his rising popularity in politics," said Ranjit's mother-in-law Bachchi Devi.
A resident of Kathouli village in Nalanda district, Bachchi regretted that Ranjit had decided to enter politics against her advice. She also accused local politicians of having implicated Ranjit in false cases.
"I told him to steer clear of politics, but he had made up his mind to contest the next elections," she said. "His current problems are precisely because of this."
Having minted millions in the admission racket over the years, Ranjit Don had decided to challenge Defence Minister George Fernandes in the next parliamentary elections from the Nalanda constituency. Ranjit had already started doing his groundwork in the area through a voluntary organisation called Magadh Vikas Manch.
Ranjit had told his supporters that he would fight the elections on the Rashtriya Janata Dal ticket. He is also said to have helped a Bihar minister in buying a flat in Mumbai recently.
The arrest of Ranjit had also come as a bolt from the blue for the residents of his native place, Khaddi Lodipur in Nalanda, where he had a hero's image.
Though the villagers did not have any idea about the exact nature of Ranjit's job, they had always perceived him as a good samaritan for his unstinting help to the youngsters of the region in getting 'decent' employment. He had also renovated a village temple recently.
A villager Rambabu Singh said that Ranjit was the ideal son-of-the-soil who had attained success without taking anybody's help. Ranjit's aunt Malti Devi, who lives with Ranjit's nonagenarian grandmother in his ancestral village, said nobody in her family had eaten anything ever since they heard the news of Ranjit's arrest on radio.

The Sony RX100 Mark IV is a compact camera, with a large sensor that has several valuable developments from its previous version, Mark III. The body of Mark IV remains the same as the other devices in the RX100 series and is packed in with features despite its pocket friendly size. Not only is its viewfinder exceptionally clear said camera also exceeds its predecessors in performance.
Most of the features exhibited by the Sony RX100 IV have been incorporated only due to the presence of the latest Sony Exmor RS image sensor. As its predecessor the RX100 III was built using the Exmor R chip, both models differ considerably in features. The stacked CMOS censor design is the first in its league in this industry that contains an embedded DRAM. The burst capture rate can reach up to 16 frames per second when the device is at its highest resolution, which is only a significant improvement over its older versions. The capability of its electronic shutter is very fast and its manufacturer claims minimal rolling of the shutter is due to the high speed readout.
The above-mentioned changes are not the only changes specified, as due to its new sensor the Sony RX100 Mark IV provides the ability to capture 4K video. Several other areas have also received upgrades like the Organic LED display that is part of the electronic viewfinder, which enables its sparkling clear appearance and has double the dot count of RX100 III viewfinder.
The firmware of the RX100 IV has also undergone several changes. Additional self-timer option has five seconds duration and the autofocus function has a special flexible spot that has been expanded. The previous version where 30 seconds long, the longest shutter speed was restricted to either manual shooting or shutter-priority is now accessible even in Aperture-priority or program modes.
One will also enjoy the seven new additional options for picture profile, through which finer aspects of the image can be considered. Some of the factors controlled are the black level, knee, black gamma and gamma.
Alongside these new features those retained from older models include the f/1.8-2.8 optical zoom lens which boasts SteadyShot image stabilization and is 24-70mm equivalent. The inbuilt pop-up flash, a 3-inch LCD display that boasts tilt articulation, wide ranging ISO sensitivity ranging from 125 to 12800, are some other features. Additionally, a Bionz-x branded processor for images has also been retained.
One of the most important features which make this camera one among the best of this decade is its ability to record in slow motion. The speeds for this vary, however setting up this camera is a lengthy process and requires more time than to just focus and click.

Burgopak teamed up with BERG to design the packaging for their first connected product—Little Printer. The product itself 'lives in your home, bringing you news, puzzles and gossip from friends' in the form of a small printed newspaper. The first 'hello', was fundamental to the design of the packaging. Despite challenges protecting fragile parts of the device it was imperative Little Printer's face was the first thing you see. The entire unboxing process needed to feel considered. Delightful graphics were developed to wrap around and introduce each part of the product. All connect as a broader narrative which encapsulates the cheery tone of voice, synonymous with the product. As well as minimizing the size, Burgopak also designed each part of the packaging to be delivered flat. This helped reduce assembly times, shipping costs and allowed the packaging to be stored efficiently for assembly at the point of fulfillment."

DD's tooth was loose for a good month before it finally came out last week. All year long at her preschool class, she had classmates losing their teeth. At the beginning of the school year, her teacher had a talk with the class about losing their teeth. Whenever a kid loses his/her tooth, the child gets to write his/her name on a large paper tooth in the classroom. After all that hype from the teacher, DD was extremely excited about losing her tooth. She waited and waited, and waited some more. It finally came out last week. She went to bed with the biggest grin on her face. The anticipation of a visit from a tooth fairy was hard for her to bear, she went to bed filled with so much excitement that I thought she was going to burst into small pieces of happy hysteria.
There has been an ongoing discussion between my friends and myself on how much a tooth is worth. While some moms think that a quarter or a dollar is acceptable, other moms go up as high as $20 per tooth. I wanted to know what DD's thought was on this subject matter. When I asked her what she thought that the tooth fairy was going to bring her. She said, " A quarter." Then she paused for a bit, and continued, " And a diamond ring." ROFL! Yeah, if that was the going rate for a tooth, I think I would be willing to give up a couple of my own.
Well, the tooth fairy came. She left DD a quarter and a toy. Tooth fairy really wanted to leave a dollar, but tooth fairy's husband said that a dollar was too much for a 5 year old. The tooth fairy did not see any point in arguing about it, so she left a nice pretty quarter along with a toy.
Here's my little cutie with her missing tooth :). The new one is already coming in!DD and her friends at a water fountain playdate last week.
Baby G napped almost the entire time we were at the water fountains, so I did not get any pictures of him then. I did take a few photos after we got home. Check out how huge he is now! I can't believe that he just turned 4 months old.
The cutest baby in my house! Ok, he is the only baby in my house, but he is seriously cute and such a lovable little guy! I don't know what good deeds I have done to deserve this awesome baby, but I will take it! At 4 months old, baby G almost never cries, rarely fusses. When he is awake, he is constantly smiling. He is a joy to have around! I feel so lucky to have not one, but two amazingly loving and wonderful kids!

In general some dietitians say the Paleo diet provides our bodies with more efficient, long-lasting energy that also aids in burning fat. Paleo consumers are invited to dine locally at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza restaurant The Breeze in Century City . Breeze Sous Chef Ali Parvinjah, an avid Paleo follower, designed the menu along with Executive Chef Felix Nappoly, reflecting grass-fed and pastured meats and eggs, wild-caught seafood, fruit, fungi, roots, nuts and vegetables. The Autumn/Winter paleo menu consists of a thorough menu including baby organic kale with bacon, pomegranate and preserved lemon vinaigrette, roasted butternut squash bisque, char grilled NY steak in a grainy mustard pan sauce and sauteed winter greens, seared seabass with roasted artichokes, Kalamata olive-tomato ragu, cauliflower rice and pinenuts, and a mason jar paleo pumpkin pie with coconut whipped cream.

Successful dieting demands real food
Without endorsing or dismissing Ms. Pomroys plan, it can be safely observed that anyone giving up wheat, corn, dairy, refined sugar, alcohol and fruit juices, while keeping well-hydrated and exercising regularly, is almost guaranteed to lose at least a little weight and probably feel better. If you like a plan with a lot of steps, phases, scientific claims, and a list of dos and donts, this one might be for you. But even if you dont embrace Pomroys strategy, you may want to check out some of her recipes in The Fast Metabolism Diet Cookbook. They are healthy, satisfying and also interesting. They involve real food, mostly plants.

Sophie Goodhart began her career in news and documentaries for UK television. She is perhaps best known for her short film "My Blind Brother," which screened in competition at Cannes in 2003 where the short was nominated for the Palme d'Or. It was also selected for SXSW, Melbourne, São Paulo and London film festivals. Goodhart has gone on to write several films with The Barnes Brothers, including "The Locksmith" and "Sex Guaranteed." (Press materials)
W&H: Describe the film for us in your own words.
SG: Love for the same woman creates a rift between an overachieving blind athlete and his resentful brother.
W&H: What drew you to this story?
SG: My sister was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when I was in my early 20s. I was embarrassed and surprised to find that after the initial sadness, I was jealous. I realized that she would be forever this amazingly brave person battling adversity while I would continue to be a self-indulgent flake. I thought this dynamic would be interesting for a script. Then I read a newspaper article about a blind swimmer and his sighted guide and thought that would be a great situation to place my siblings in. Also I love stories about shame, resentment and guilt.
W&H: What do you want people to think about when they are leaving the theater?
SG: I want the audience to be left wondering about their own ideas of charity, about attention and who deserves it and why and whether we are entirely truthful in the choices we make. I want us to laugh at our own foibles.
W&H: What was the biggest challenge in making the film?
SG: I was seven months pregnant when we started the shoot and I had to go back into the edit four days after giving birth. Also filming on water is a nightmare.
W&H: How did you get your film funded? Share some insights into how you got the film made.
SG: It took a long, long time. It's hard getting a first film made. I essentially found a great producer, Tory Tunnell, who decided that I had a something interesting to say and she slogged away for many years to find the money. In the end WME came on board and they found producer Tyler Davidson. I owe them both a house full of ponies.
W&H: What's the best and worst advice you've received?
SG: The worst: if you get any opportunity to make a film [you should] make it, whatever the circumstances. The best: Wait until you get the right cast.
W&H: What advice do you have for other female directors?
SG: Delusion and denial are your friends. Find people who are interested in what you have to say and work with them.
W&H: Name your favorite woman-directed film and why.
SG: Elaine May's "The Heartbreak Kid."

Vets Helping Heroes| Animal Assisted Therapy and Soldiers
79-year-old Irwin Stovroff knows something about being a warrior, and carrying out a mission. In WWII after his plane was shot down, he parachuted behind enemy lines, but managed to toss the dog tags that identified him as Jewish, before being captured. He spent the next year in a Nazi POW camp.
In 2008 this honored combat vet began a new mission, one that focused on wounded warriors. Stovroff launched Vets Helping Heroes a nonprofit to help soldiers by providing them with service and guide dogs.
via dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com
After learning that the federal government has no program to match injured soldiers with service dogs, Irwin Stovroff started a charity in 2007 called Vets Helping Heroes. Since then, he's raised $3 million to supply vets with seeing-eye and therapy dogs. "I really recognize what a dog can mean, what a dog can do for somebody," he told NBC's "Nightly News." "The dog is a true lifesaver."
The highly trained service dog, Stovroff said, can give the wounded warrior "mobility, independence and a companionship that he can't get from any other way." Lt. Col. Kathy Champion served with distinction for 27 years and commanded a special combat unit in Iraq. After, returning home, she went blind from a mysterious virus she contracted in Iraq that attacked her spinal cord. At first, Champion shut herself off from family and friends.
"I became a hermit in my own house," she said. "I quit school. I quit my job. I quit being social. I didn't want to talk to anybody. I stopped answering phone calls from my son and daughter. I didn't tell anybody what was wrong. I didn't want anyone to know I wasn't the soldier I had been."
Concerned friends forced her out of her shell and she applied for a service dog from Southeastern Guide Dogs, one of the country's leading training facilities. Stovroff's charity donated thousands of dollars to sponsor the dog, and Champion spent 26 days living and training with "Angel" at the facility's Florida campus. She described it as a "life-changing" event.

We don't currently make an internal retrofit for the Yamaha CS-5 although we may at some time in the future. Currently however the only option is to use it with one of our range of MIDI (or USB) to CV converters - there is more information on our converters below in section 2.
If you want to control your Yamaha CS-5 using MIDI, then you will need to consider all of the following:
1) Sockets - locating and connecting to the appropriate sockets & possibly an additional socket.
2) MIDI to CV converter and the correct settings for it
3) Leads - selecting the correct ones
4) Setting the Yamaha CS-5 to accept the incoming signals
1) Sockets
The Yamaha CS-5 is already fitted with CV (Control Volt) & S-trig (Trigger) control sockets, which is all you need for control of the notes, however it could benefit from fitting an additional socket for control of the filter cutoff frequency. The two relevant sockets fitted as standard are as follows:
CV INPUT ( for controlling the pitch of the notes)
Labelled: CONTROL VOLT IN
Socket type: 1/4" mono jack
Connections: Tip = CV (Hz/V) input signal, Sleeve = Ground (to screen)
Setting on converter: Hz/Volt - (refer to the converter manual for how to do this)
GATE/TRIG INPUT (for controlling when the notes play)
Labelled: TRIGGER IN
Socket type: 1/4" mono jack
Connections (Jack): Tip = s-trig input signal, Sleeve = Ground (to screen)
Setting on converter: S-Trig with 5V pullup (refer to the converter manual for how to do this)
FILTER / VCF INPUT As mentioned above, Kenton make a 1 socket upgrade for this model which provides a filter cutoff control socket on a 3.5mm mono jack. This will enable you to change the filter cutoff amount using your sequencer or MIDI keyboard.This upgrade is available either as a kit for fitting by your own engineer, or fully fitted by us at our premises in London.
Socket upgrade kits for Yamaha CS-5
2) MIDI to CV converter (or USB MIDI to CV converter)
Use this link to see the range of Kenton converters suitable for this model
Use the following settings on the converter for this synthesiser:
CV - This synthesiser requires Hz/Volt control. Set the CV select parameter to Hz/V - this requires a change from the Kenton default
Gate/Trig - This synthesiser requires s-trig with 5V pullup - this requires a change from the Kenton default.
Aux1/Filter - The VCF/Filter upgrade socket if fitted requires a 0-10V analogue signal - this is the Kenton default setting.
If you don't know anything about MIDI to CV converters and would like to know more, read the following page on our website:
3) Leads
You will need the following leads for your Yamaha CS-5:
2 x 3.5mm mono jack to 1/4" mono jack lead
1 x 3.5mm mono jack to 3.5mm mono jack lead (only required if you have the filter socket upgrade kit fitted)
3.5mm to 1/4" and 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono jack leads are available in several lengths.
GO TO OUR SELECTION OF LEADS (opens in new tab)
4) Settings to change on the Yamaha CS-5 itself
There are no settings to change on the CS-5.
