Security At Airports? Will Body Scanners Help? UN Special Rapporteur Says NO!
Posted by Info on 21/01/2010
...body scanners are ineffective. They are unlikely to detect 80 grams of PETN explosives hidden in the underware of a person. And once it is known that body scanners are in use, they are easy to avoid by hiding this type of explosives in a body cavity or in a commercial item in one's hand luggage.
Further, as body scanners will slow down the security checks at airports, it is likely, although not unavoidable, that their use will result in a new wave of discriminatory profiling based directly or indirectly on nationality, ethnicity or religion.
There are better ways than body scanners and group-related profiling to improve security at airports and elsewhere. The technology already exists for detecting from distance most explosive substances, including PETN…Together with professional observation of behavioral patterns this provides a prospect of respecting privacy while at the same time doing a better job in preventing acts of terrorism.
PETN – hard to detect and just 100g can destroy a carThe explosive is extremely powerful, allowing terrorists to use only small quantities to cause enormous damage. And the colourless crystals of the substance, PETN or pentaerythritol trinitrate, are hard to detect if carried in a sealed container…..

Profiling has failed us; we don't need profiling to identify Individuals like the Christmas-Day Bomber or the Fort Hood Shooter! There is a better solution!
Virtually all media outlets are discussing whether we should be profiling all Arab Muslims; I will in the one-page explain why we don't need profiling. Over 15 years ago, we at the Center for Aggression Management developed an easily-applied, measurable and culturally-neutral body language and behavior indicators exhibited by people who intend to perpetrate a terrorist act. This unique methodology utilizes proven research from the fields of psychology, medicine and law enforcement which, when joined together, identify clear, easily-used physiologically-based characteristics of individuals who are about to engage in terrorist activities in time to prevent their Moment of Commitment.
The Problem
Since the foiled terrorist attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian national on Northwest Flight 253 to Detroit, the President has repeatedly stated that there has been a systemic failure as he reiterates his commitment to fill this gap in our security. This incident, like the Fort Hood shooting, exemplifies why our government must apply every valid preventative approach to identify a potential terrorist.
The myriad methods to identify a terrorist, whether "no-fly list," "explosive and weapons detection," mental illness based approaches, "profiling" or "deception detection" – all continue to fail us. Furthermore, the development of deception detection training at Boston Logan Airport demonstrated that the Israeli methods of interrogation will not work in the United States.
All media outlets are discussing the need for profiling of Muslim Arabs, but profiling does not work for the following three reasons:
1. In practice, ethnic profiling tells us that within a certain group of people there is a higher probability for a terrorist; it does not tell us who the next terrorist is!
2. Ethnic profiling is contrary to the value our society places on diversity and freedom from discrimination based on racial, ethnic, religious, age and/or gender based criteria. If we use profiling it will diminish our position among the majority of affected citizens who support us as a beacon of freedom and liberty.
3. By narrowing our field of vision, profiling can lead to the consequence of letting terrorists go undetected, because the terrorist may not be part of any known "profile worthy" group – e.g., the Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh
The Solution
Our unique methodology for screening passengers can easily discern (independently of race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, age, and gender) the defining characteristics of human beings who are about to engage in terrorist acts.
The question is when will our government use true "hostile intent" through the "continuum of aggressive behavior" to identify potential terrorists? Only when observers focus specifically on "aggressive behavior" do the objective and culturally neutral signs of "aggression" clearly stand out, providing the opportunity to prevent these violent encounters. This method will not only make all citizens safer, but will also pass the inevitable test of legal defensibility given probable action by the ACLU.
As our Government analyzes what went wrong regarding Abdulmatallab's entrance into the United States, you can be assured that Al Qaeda is also analyzing how their plans went wrong. Who do you think will figure it out first . . . ?

Moving from stereoptypical group-based profiling to behavioral profiles that detect aggression is certainly one promising line of improving security without ending up in violations of the right to privacy and of non-discrimination. Of course any chosen method must have proper scientific basis, so that it can be proven to be effective. Otherwise there is no justification for the level of intrusion that behavioral observation represents.
It may also be that we will move to evidence-based combinations of different methods, including observation of individual behavior, use of intelligence information and a range of detection technologies. This may help in excluding the most intrusive methods under any one of these, such as the current generation of body scanners that unnecessarily show the naked image of an identifiable person to one ore more observers and in the worst case store such images.
Any comparison of security measures should take into account their impact on privacy and other human rights, as well as their counterproductive effects. Ethnic profiling results in the alienation of targeted communities. At the same time it defeats its own purpose by allowing the terrorists to react by choosing agents who will escape the profile. Similarly, full-body scanners cause the real terrorists to adjust their tactics, as they are known not to detect substances hidden inside the body.
Much more should be done in the field of developing technologies for the direct detection of explosive materials themselves. In combination with observation of aggressive behavior this may represent the future of security measures at airports and elsewhere.

Restrictions Curb Use of Powerful Acne Drug
Patients Who Want Isotretinoin, Despite Risk of Birth Defects, Struggle With Onerous New Rules
The government's most-aggressive effort yet to curb drug side effects is having an impact on a popular and highly effective acne drug -- with some doctors and pharmacists saying they have stopped dispensing it and some patients turning to illegal Internet sales.
In March, the Food and Drug Administration launched a program known as iPledge, which aims to keep pregnant women from taking Accutane or its generic, isotretinoin. The drug is linked to a very high incidence of birth defects, including misshapen heads, missing ears...

It seems that the makers of children's television programs have a lot to answer for. As one of the main sources of education for impressionable youngsters, it saddens me to see that there is such a one-sided representation of gender. A vast majority of the main roles in programs for children are dominated by male characters with many of the female characters playing submissive or 'traditional roles'. We are facing quite a significant problem with the way gender roles and tropes are portrayed to the next generation, giving them a very narrow and potentially endangering view of the way in which the world works.
How children learn about, or acquire gender roles has become an increasingly popular area of discourse. Indeed, with the increasing amount of television that children are watching, one might be concerned as to whether or not television plays any part in the concepts that children grow up with so far as gender roles are concerned. If television is found to influence children's concepts of gender, then not only does it reflect upon the influence that television might have in other areas, but it may also have implications for the children in so far as what they come to expect as the norm, and the types of behaviour and attitudes they exhibit and expect others to.
I thought back to the shows that I used to watch as a child – Pokemon, The Powerpuff Girls, Sailor Moon – the latter of the two were the most disconcerting of all to unpack, but I'll begin with Pokemon.
The show tells the story of a young boy from Pallet Town named Ash who inextricably lives in a world filled with Pokemon just waiting to be captured ('to catch them is my real test'), trained ('to train them is my cause') and sent in to battle until one is the victor (yes, I can recite the entire intro). What's interesting to go back and look at, however, is the way in which female characters are represented in the show. The main female role belongs to Misty. Sure she's a domineering character that battles like the rest of them but her entire existence on the show revolves around submissively following Ash on his seemingly never-ending goal towards obtaining every gym badge this "pokeverse" has to offer. Other characters like Nurse Joy and Office Jenny, who never age or wear anything other than their uniforms, simply play the unattainable love interest for the dopey Brock character. Here's a quick example of how the episodes generally portray this. The show sexualises and objectifies women, as well as suggesting that the natural role for girls is to succumb to the needs of their male counterparts and traverse the world until he's finally become master of the universe (or something like that).
Next up we have The Powerpuff Girls. The premise of this animated show was that three, crime-fighting sisters went about their daily lives doing normal kid things until suddenly a call came through from the Mayor requiring their urgent help in defeating yet another bad guy terrorising Townsville. There are so many things to discuss with this one, but I'll focus on the images presented by the three girls themselves. There is the glaringly obvious fact that all three of these characters are Caucasian girls. Furthermore two of the characters (Blossom and Bubbles) are a stark contract to the third (Buttercup). The former two represent the Aryan ideal of fair hair, big eyes and extremely well behaved. The latter has black hair and is stubborn and rude. Being the butch tomboy of the three makes her the black sheep of the family, and the show usually goes out of it's way to make this apparent – she is the first to jump to action but invariably ends up following the rule of either Blossom or Bubbles. Two issues here, the first being that again we're giving girls a submissive view of themselves – the girls are still ruled by their "father" The Professor and are constantly required to be at the call of the inept Mayor – the second is that there seems to be a commentary on societal ideals of what is perfect or desirable in girls – the fair skin, hair and big eyes… These views are not at all accurate and are warping the perceptions of youth on what should be socially acceptable.
Finally I'll move to Sailor Moon. My favourite show of the three. In fact I can still admit to being a massive fan girl of the series, so it came as a big surprise to me that the girls that I idolised as a child still portrayed the huge gender inequalities in kids programming. But isn't Sailor Moon herself supposed to represent female empowerment? She's the lead of a television show, she can fight like the best of them and she's the leader of an all-girl "crime-fighting" group, so how can that be linked to gender issues? We discussed in class today that there is this tendency to presume that shows centred on female leads must be indications of female empowerment and control, however this is generally illusory and after unpacking the show further we find that each of the leads tends to come back to her 'stereotypical' quest for the perfect man/love. In this case, our focus is always brought back to the enigmatic Tuxedo Mask. Is this who we envision as the "champion of justice"?
I'm sure there are many who will argue that I'm reading too much in to this and that the minds of the children consuming these programs are not yet developed enough to see the underlying subtext they hold. However children use these shows as one of their sources of information about the world around them. Even if the gender stereotyping is subliminal, although in the above cases we can see it's much more pertinent, it is still there and is still being absorbed by the viewers – children. If we are to continue to inaccurately portray the genders in children's television then we must deal with the consequences that may arise – a misogynistic and unrealistic worldview.

Use of clinical pathways (also called care pathways or critical pathways) resulted in significantly fewer patients with postoperative complications compared with standard care (RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.92, P=0.01), according to Antonella Barbieri, of the University of Eastern Piedmont in Novara, Italy, and colleagues.
A significantly shorter hospital stay also was associated with clinical pathways, with a weighted mean difference of -2.61 days (95% CI -3.29 days to -1.94 days, P<0.00001), the investigators reported in the open access journal BMC Medicine.
Critical pathways provide a methodology for mutual decision-making and organization of care for a well-defined group of patients during a specified period.
They have been in use since the 1980s, but their potential benefits, especially for expensive, increasingly high-volume procedures such as joint replacement were still unclear.
So the researchers performed a meta-analysis of the effects of clinical pathways on specific major outcomes of inhospital joint replacement. It included not only postoperative complications and length of stay, but also the direct costs and rates of discharge home.
They included 22 studies, with a total sample of 6,316 patients. In 12 of the studies, patients had knee arthroplasty; in six they had hip arthroplasty, and in four studies the patients had both.
Costs accrued during hospitalization, analyzed in eight cohort studies with a sample of 934 patients, were lower for pathway-based care compared with standard care, with a weighted mean difference of -1.54 (95% CI -1.99 to -1.09, P<0.00001).
There were no differences, however, in the rates of discharge to home in the seven studies that measured this parameter in 2,107 patients (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.54 to 1.10, P=0.15).
The main finding of the meta-analysis, according to the researchers, was that clinical pathways can effectively improve the quality of the care provided to patients undergoing joint replacement.
They suggested that the improvements resulted from standardization of the process of care, "even if the knowledge about the mechanisms through which pathways work is insufficient and the evidence determined by meta-analysis is always exploratory in nature and should be considered with caution."
The analysis identified a "strongly significant reduction" in length of hospital stay after implementation of the pathways, again as a consequence of standardized organization of care.
The researchers pointed out that a possible undesirable consequence of shortened length of stay following joint replacement could have been an increase in postoperative complications, but the opposite was found to be the case, with significant reductions compared with historical controls in deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, superficial and deep infections, and decubitus ulcers.
The improved organization of care resulting from the use of clinical pathways also explained the decreases in direct costs.
However, most of the studies included in the meta-analysis simply reported the reduction in costs, not the costs of specific elements in the process of care and not the costs of implementing clinical pathways.
"So it is not possible to conclude that the reduction of the costs was achieved by a more appropriate process of care or simply by a generic reduction of the stay," they wrote.
Other limitations of the analysis were small sample sizes in some studies, and the fact that only one of the studies included was a randomized trial.
There also may have been a publication bias, because studies failing to show benefits are less likely to be published.
Finally, clinical pathways are complex interventions that make it difficult to determine which components are most responsible for the observed effects, the researchers said.
Nonetheless, "we assume that pathways have an impact on the organization of care if the care process is structured in a standardized way, teams critically analyze the actual organization of the process and the multidisciplinary team is highly involved in the reorganization," they concluded.
|The authors declared that they have no competing interests.

One of the first questions we ask when we are going to implement a new logic in an SAP user exit is: what kind of data is available as input and what can I modify as output? Though limited, most of the time the parameters of user exit functions let us do what we want. But sometimes we get stuck because some field is not provided. The field can be either some global field of the calling program or a global field in a function group that is used by calling program. (You should remember that in latter case, the data is still sitting in the memory until we exit the main program or transaction, and can be used by any subsequent calls).
There is a simple trick that allows you read and modify the global data of any module loaded by a running program. It is using the ABAP's dynamic assignment feature of field-symbols. The best way is to show it with an example.
The user exit ZXCO1U06 is running when we save a production order in the transaction CO02. In this user exit you can do some additional checks, modify data, probably issue some messages and so on. Unfortunately, only header data of the order is provided as its parameter. Reading the database is not an option because any updated data (new operations, new status flags) is not yet written to the database. If you want to read, say, order operations or their status, you either call the same functions that are called by CO02 (as the same global data is used), or access the data directly. If we want to check the status of the order and ist operations, we could read the global data (internal tables) of the function group BSVA, that is used to manage the status in CO02. The table that contains the status flags is called JEST_BUF and we can get the table content in out user exit in the following way:
* See declarations in LBSVATOP * This type should match the one used in SAP program! types: begin of t_jest. include structure jest_upd. types: mod, inact_old like jest-inact, end of t_jest. data: lf_text(40) type c, lt_jest type standard table of t_jest. field-symbols: <ls_jest_buf> type any table. lf_text = '(SAPLBSVA)JEST_BUF[]'. assign (lf_text) to <ls_jest_buf>. check sy-subrc = 0. lt_jest[] = <ls_jest_buf>. "now everything is in lt_jest !
If we want to do some changes of the global data, we could do a "reversed" assignment to the field-symbol:
<ls_jest_buf> = lt_jest[].
Finding the needed program and variable names is not a straightforward task, but can be done with debugger. The best motivation is that there is rarely some alternative solution (that is less ugly than using dynamic ABAP assignments).
Important note: Using user exits is a kind of advanced task because you can easily screw up the SAP program's internal data. But this trick gives you even more chances of doing that, so everything should be done with a special care.

neighborhood I hear children screaming, gleefully. Like a swarm of
bees they weave in and out of their circles of friends, sometimes a
pair, sometimes eight or ten, pollinating each other with smiles. They
are swirling vortexes of little people bundled up in puffy jackets.
Chasing balls that don't bounce
in straight lines, holding hands and interlocking arms as they add to
their herd, some simply hold on to the arm of a friend and just sit
and watch carefully. Reminds me of my own thoughts dancing around.
And in this chaos I can't help remember the order that falls out of it
all. Friendships made and broken, pecking orders defined, first loves.
I stare through the bars keeping them in and can't help but recognize
how much they look like prisoners. As I look over and nod towards a
toothless old man. My smile confirms the mutual amazement we shared
towards this spectacle of unrestrained life. He tells me "they are
fightin' for dey freedom." Yes they are, yes they are.
Then I notice myself, sitting patiently, holding a book, studying,
drinking warm coffee - quiet, calm - wondering how much my own spirit
has been broken into reserved submission over the years.
A few minutes later, I hear whistle blow, they grow quiet, and one
after the other, they all fall into line to return to the classroom.
A few hours later, I find myself in Manhattan. Thousands upon
thousands shuffle down gum covered sidewalks. Little lines of ants,
all dressed in black. They looked like they haven't played in years.
In a few hours, some of them will seek out the lost art of childhood.
Like tranquilized animals they will waddle around dark boxes with loud
noises, but there will be no gleeful screaming. Just the low rhythmic
cadence of recorded sounds. Poor vestiges of what once was.
What happened to recess?

More palatable? Very strange that in your closing statement you praise
this artist for taking a leap and sharing his passion with an audience
then you want him to "tone it down" so that we, the general public can
stand it........very strange and disheartening that you would want a
creative person to change their piece to suit the public......it is a
personal love letter by the filmmaker. Also, there was narrative and
pattern and the film VERY obviously went from early morning to night.
Were you there for the whole film? Maybe you weren't one of the three
hundred people that came for the first show that I was in...because at
the end everyone gave a standing ovation and I left feeling honored to
be a part of Charleston.

The Northern Irish partner of a bike racer who was killed on the Isle of Man has offered an emotional tribute to him.
Paul Shoesmith from Lancashire died during a practice lap on Saturday.
Janet Cowden, his partner, is originally from Northern Ireland and had been raising a set of twin boys with Paul.
Her own brother William Cowden had been left severely injured in a crash at the Killalane road races in 2014.
Janet posted this tribute on Facebook: "I have thought long and hard about what to write, words can't even describe how I am feeling right now.
"Yesterday was the worst day of my life. I lost my partner, my babies' daddy, my best friend and my soulmate.
"Life with Paul wasn't always easy, living it in the fast lane and dealing with his countless projects and gadgets.
"He drove me insane at times and we fought like cat and dog but in the end we always had each other's backs and I loved him more than words."
"Paul may have left me yesterday but he has left me with the most precious gifts and little pieces of him in his four beautiful children and every time I look or speak to them I have a little piece of him still with me.
"Paul was the proudest man in the world of his children."
She described his children as "the only thing in his life that was faultless and perfect".
"He beamed everyday about each and every one of them, they were his "chip-offs," she added.
"It's so unfair that he's going to miss them growing up and never going to take his sons for their first pint.
"These thoughts are hitting me the hardest and I feel so bad for all his children."

I cannot believe my baby boy turned two on December 24th. I cannot believe it has been two years since the icy Christmas Eve that I delivered our miracle. When I think back to his birth I get chills, and I am so thankful he made it and I do not take any of it for granted. When his heartbeat started to decrease rapidly and I was just about wheeled in for an emergency C-section to him coming out and being whisked away to the warming table where three nurses worked on him, slapping his little feet giving him oxygen and he was not crying. The doctor testing the blood gases in the umbilical cord to make sure he was not deprived of oxygen which thankfully he was not. Not being able to hold him for two hours after his birth while doctors and nurses observed him. Thankfully about 2 hours after his birth they finally let me hold him. He nuzzled his little head in my neck and just slept. He hardly ate, and slept constantly even through blood tests and exams. He only had a tiny squeak, no crying for this baby boy. He was just fine everyone assured me, but I needed to hear him cry. He eventually started to cry and I mean wail just when we were going home. It was the greatest sound. Now, my sweet boy talks so much, he is learning his alphabet and singing songs, playing with his brother and doing and learning new things every day. I know we are so very blessed that Luke was okay, it was a very scary situation at the end and I always refer to it as a traumatic birth. I look at him many times throughout the day and let him know how much I love him and how badly he scared me. I am so thankful to see his little smile and that he is such a snuggly bunny and gives me bunches of kisses throughout the day. My baby is two but he will always be my little baby.
Where did the time go? HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE JACOB!!!

SEOUL, South Korea – Hundreds of thousands of South Koreans are rallying in Seoul calling for the ouster of President Park Geun-hye, who lawmakers may attempt to impeach by as early as next week.
Police say 260,000 people turned out for Saturday's protest against Park, the fifth straight weekend of demonstrations. Organizers put the turnout at 1 million.
Prosecutors accuse Park of assisting criminal activities of a secretive confidante who allegedly manipulated power from the shadows and extorted companies to build an illicit fortune.
The country's largest opposition party says it will seek to propose an impeachment motion for vote as early as Friday and no later than Dec. 9. Some members of Park's conservative party have vowed to support the impeachment attempt.

Rebranding is more than a name change. It's philosophical, cultural, physical and it's emotional.
Every business falls victim to fads disguised as wisdom. Remember the rush to mimic Japanese business practices in the '80s?
How have advancements in technology helped you improve service at your operation?
Golf Business Conference is the National Golf Course Owners Association's (NGCOA) annual member meeting, and is the industry's largest gathering of golf course owners and operators.
By David Gould
Molding the service excellence your golf facility needs
Golf facilities start down the road to excellence by creating a great product and classy amenities. And yet, when successful operators discuss best practices for customer-pleasing, they seem to focus on the person-to-person element. With little prompting, sources interviewed for this article went straight to the challenges of hiring, training, motivating and rewarding staff people—never shying away from the tricky psychology of it.
They also shared canny insights about where the customer's head is at these days, since excellence for any business is mainly determined by what customers think and feel.
The mindset of the people who provide service and the mindset of those receiving it have to mesh together, both logically and emotionally. That's the view of Rich Mack, executive vice-president of The Mosaic Company, which owns the award-laded Streamsong Resort in rural Florida, east of Tampa. If someone wanted proof that America has indeed evolved into an "experience economy," he would urge them to visit Streamsong.
"We built a resort in an unexpected place using lots of bold, unconventional architecture and design elements," says Mack. "As a result, our arriving guests feel like they've made a wonderful discovery, and our staff recognizes that. It's their job to make sure each guest keeps making one pleasant discovery after another, for their entire stay."
It's the "each guest" and "entire stay" part of the equation that can seem difficult to a worker serving well-heeled golfing visitors. Roughly 150 people check in and out of Streamsong on a daily basis, and the new arrivals don't know how good an operation the staff ran yesterday—they're demanding its 'A' game today.
"Obviously, in this business, complacency is a real danger," Mack admits. He's aware that if his workforce descends into "Groundhog Day" mode, a general dullness will permeate the property and guests will detect it right away. The Streamsong philosophy for avoiding that fate is to remind each employee that their skills and abilities are being continually refined and their personal connection to the place where they work is contributing to their quality of life.
"It's up to the management team to inspire, engage and recognize the people who work at the resort," Mack asserts. "Very often, 'Are you doing a good job?' and 'Are you enjoying your job?' are the same question."
Check out Streamsong's remote physical location and you won't spot much sophistication in any direction. "We see employees whose parents and grandparents mined phosphate in this area grow from having zero background in golf or hospitality to being great servers, bartenders, and everything else," Mack says. "We make sure they know how much they've grown and evolved since they got here."
Motivating and guiding the front-line staff at non-essential businesses like golf courses and resorts has been a subject of careful study for a long time. Lately it's been sped up by the revelation that rising generations are less likely than their predecessors to play the role of humble, helpful provider of personal service. "Working with the young people who join our staff these days can be tough," says Bob Spada, head of the golf operation at award-winning Broken Tee Golf Course in Englewood, Colorado. "They're committed to their personal lives, not so much their work lives, which makes hiring more difficult. McDonald's pays more than we do, and if you stay at McDonalds for two months they'll give you an X-Box."
Any golf course needs marshals—at Broken Tee they're called player assistants—to check on pace and help with customer issues, but golfers don't like being approached out there. Spada heads out on the fairways with his goldendoodle dog, Charlie, riding shotgun, which breaks the ice and removes tension. He carries $5 food-and-beverage vouchers to sooth any ruffled feelings due to service shortfalls or other unpleasantness. The days of scolding anybody, employee or patron, are mostly over, in Spada's eyes. He's been reading a service how-to book by the brilliant New York City restaurant owner, Danny Meyer, from which he's learned the concept of "constant gentle pressure" to keep up standards.
"The salt and pepper go in the middle of the table—you make that part of the training, but when it doesn't happen you make a point of putting the shakers where they go while the staff person is watching, even though you don't say anything," says Spada, who is coming off an excellent 2017 for rounds and revenue. "Some standards are absolute—a trash container with a spike base gets put back vertical, with zero tilt, after you empty it. The benches on the range all line up," he insists. "These things aren't negotiable."
Working under someone like Spada, employees will tend to recognize the manager as having a "stickler" personality type. That means the worker needn't take what is said personally, they just have to try and imitate the boss's compulsiveness in certain areas. If you can get that to happen, bingo, you've created a culture.
Focusing on personality types can actually be quite fruitful, in an upscale golf environment. So says Whitney Reid Pennell, the founder and president of Virginia-based RCS Hospitality Group. A published author and in-demand seminar leader, she's recognized worldwide as an expert in club management.
"Among the assets we provide to clients is a training seminar called "Discovering Your Personality Spectrum," she says. "It identifies people as having one of four predominant personality traits, geared toward helping them work as part of a team in a service function." The system—which is along the lines of the Myers-Briggs test, benefits from the simplicity of color-coding for type. So, someone who is a blue may work particularly well with a colleague who is an orange. "People are intrigued to learn about themselves—younger people in particular," she notes. "They're interested in self-knowledge and in understanding why certain relationships work better than others—they feel it opens their horizons."
There are four words you'll never forget if you go through a seminar with Pennell—those are welcome, comfortable, understood and important. The new employee needs to experience all four of these feelings as they're being trained, and in turn the employee must do anything possible to make each customer feel them. "The younger generation wasn't taught the same sort of manners that my grandparents and parents taught me," says Pennell. "So, we're compensating for that by teaching some of the basic social graces."
What a manager could do in these instances is sell the young employee on the advantage of becoming a rare millennial who has learned the old-school courtesies and etiquette, and can put them to use in situations that call for it. "I've had people come to a training and stay in touch long afterward," Pennell says. "One young woman sends an email several times a year telling me all the different situations she has applied her training to."
At the vast, 108-hole Georgia resort community that's now known as Reynolds Lake Oconee, a culture of excellence is continually honed, even as the atmosphere of the property loosens up and becomes less formal. Lon Grundy, now in his third year as general manager, credits the rural Southern gift of natural hospitality for making this possible. "It's in the DNA of the people from this region to be kind and caring and respectful," says Grundy, a Texan who has spent a long career in golf and club operations, mostly in the Southwest. "They can provide first-class service quite effortlessly, and enjoy themselves in the process."
Employees in service positions at Reynolds need to exercise a particular form of sensitivity and attunement to the people they serve, according to Grundy. "Our resident members want attention from our staff members mainly to chat with them and be sociable," he says. "Our resort guests will want an employee's attention mainly to get information and be guided around. So, it's a matter of shifting gears slightly."
In the effort to complement what employees provide by way of guest information, Reynolds Lake Oconee uses the Kipsu software platform for text messaging between guests and the resort. "You get a number to plug into your phone, and you text us just like you'd text anyone else, only we're telling you when a tavern opens, or how to get a box lunch, or anything else you need help doing, with no delay," says Grundy.
Since its purchase by MetLife in 2012, Reynolds Lake Oconee has prospered, particularly in its most important line of business, selling homes and home sites—in 2016 there were 265 real estate transaction and last year about 300. Management's greatest wish for any front-line is to become skilled at persuading resort guests to take a pontoon-boat ride with a real estate sales person, or arrange to tour a model home. "We've got a 15-year selling window and 6,000 acres of real estate to sell," Grundy says. "If we're great at making resort guests feel a desire to upgrade their experience and become property owners, that's going to ensure success in what is basically our core business."
There's definitely a bit of magic in the air anytime a golf property's employees and its guests or members start to think alike—both believing sincerely the place they're at is something special. There's no surer way to achieve high standards of excellence, and to guard those standards by ingraining them as a culture that will endure.

Drottningholm is one of the several castles/palaces1 currently owned by the Swedish royal family, situated as the name implies on a medium-sized island 11 km west of central Stockholm. It used to be a country retreat, but its close proximity to Bromma Airport has assured the gradual encroachment of the city in modern times. Even so, the palace itself is set on the water in the midst of a substantial bit of parkland, so it's much more laid back than the Royal Palace in Stockholm itself; it was for precisely this reason that the King and Queen made Drottningholm their official residence in the early 80s, not wanting to raise their kids in the middle of one of the city's busiest neighborhoods. It's still the family's residence for most of the year (except in high tourist season, when they retreat to an island in the Baltic), although they obviously tend to stick to the private wing, so there's little chance of running into them when you visit.
Well, most days, anyway. By chance, we happened to go on a day when some of the Queen's relatives were having a christening in the palace chapel, with the family in attendance. The downside of this was that we couldn't tour the top floor, as they were using it for the reception; the upside was that, as we waited for the English language tour to start, Princess Madeleine and Prince Carl Philip walked right past us on their way to the chapel, followed a few minutes later by the King and the Crown Princess herself, Victoria2. No sign of the Queen (doubtless hanging with her visiting family members), but Victoria smiled at us and waved, so that was nice.
More interesting was the theater, a restored 17th century opera house. It's a working theater, but the stage and interior have kept their original style and function, so they still use all of the original special effects machinery (they have had to update the lighting a bit, although they've done a good job replacing the candles with some impressive fakes). The seating hasn't changed, either, so it's remarkably uncomfortable; what's more, when the theater was built the seating capacity was limited by the size of the ladies' hoop skirts, which means that now it seats twice as many people as it was designed to do, with no concomitant increase in oxygen flow. A four hour opera watched from uncomfortable seats, with no temperature control and nothing to breathe? Where do I sign up?
1 The Swedish word is slott, which unfortunately covers a sort of broad range of concepts in English. The massive royal palace in Stockholm is Kungliga Slottet, but it can also mean 'castle.' It's also used to describe the manor houses which dot the southern Swedish countryside, some of which are large and impressive enough that they might merit being called a small palace in English; more often than not, they're what I would call 'big houses.'
2 Some time ago the law was changed in Sweden so that the royal couple's oldest child became the heir to the throne, irrespective of sex. So despite having a younger brother, Victoria is set to become Sweden's first reigning Queen since Ulrika Eleonora abdicated in 1720. Leaving Carl Philip free to spend his time driving race cars and taking pictures of flowers.

- 0.2 Ultimately, An Infant's Skin Is Healthiest When It Is Clean and also Dry
- 0.3 Cloth nappies
- 1 There are several kinds of fabric nappies.
- 2 Video: reusable cloth in Minonk
Cloth Diapers Are Much better For Infant's Skin?
The health concerns that numerous cloth diapering parents connect with non reusable baby diapers have to do with direct exposure to chemicals that are used in the manufacturing of non reusable baby diapers as well as skin level of sensitivities. Family members that look to minimize general exposure to chemicals in their households' environment choose cloth diapers for this tranquility of mind.
Ultimately, An Infant's Skin Is Healthiest When It Is Clean and also Dry
Rising sales of diaper breakout lotions corresponding with going down sales in disposable baby diapers recently brought focus to this disposable diapering dilemma. With towel baby diapers, the expense each modification is much less of a factor since each towel diaper could be recycled hundreds of time, enabling for more regular changes and also a means to maintain skin really completely dry and rash totally free.
Environmental Impact of Disposable Diapers vs Towel Diapers
20 billion baby diapers are thrown away each year in the United States. The production, circulation, as well as disposal of these diapers leaves an incredible impact on our planet. The average disposable diaper can take 500 years to decay and includes oil, plastics, perfumes, timber pulp, as well as dioxins. These components of disposable baby diapers are not products that the majority of environmentally mindful individuals wish to throw in the trash. When a household opts to utilize cloth baby diapers they choose the peace of mind that originates from removing over 6,000 diapers per child from our garbage dumps. They likewise remove the greenhouse gases associated with the manufacturing, transportation and circulation of disposable products, which occurs over and over once more.
Cost of Towel Diapers vs Disposable Diapers
The expense of cloth diapers is significantly lower than the price of disposables. The price of cloth diapers comes upfront, when building up supply, however it soothes the frequent anxiety over budgeting for disposable products on a normal basis. Picking cloth baby diapers is cheaper general, as well as less complicated on the persisting budget.
Cloth nappies
Some moms and dads like contemporary towel nappies. Fabric nappies can have less of an ecological effect and also cost less compared to disposables– particularly if you use them with other youngsters.
There are several kinds of fabric nappies.
Fabric or 'terry' squares
These fabric nappies are made of fabric that absorbs liquid, typically terry or flannelette cotton, hemp, bamboo or a blend. They fit comfortably but work best with a leak-proof cover. They could be a bit large. You fold or attach these cloth nappies with pins or clips. They completely dry rapidly. The squares fit youngsters of every ages. These nappies are the most affordable to get.
These towel nappies are made of soft layers of textile, such as cotton or bamboo, which are folded up over into a pad shape and also put inside a fitted, leak-proof cover. They completely dry swiftly.
Equipped nappies
These are also called contoured or shaped nappies. Fitted nappies come in one-size-fits-most and also various sizes. They're slower to completely dry as well as much more pricey than fabric squares and also pre-folds.
Pocket nappies.
These fabric nappies have a watertight external covering sewn together with a soft inner layer. There are inserts in the 'pocket' in between the covering and the inner layer to soak up fluid. Inserts can be made from different materials, which take in different quantities of liquid. They're easy to utilize and also completely dry rapidly, however you need to obtain the inserts prior to washing as well as placed them back in after that. They are available in one-size-fits-most and also various sizes.
These cloth nappies incorporate a waterproof outdoors layer sewn with each other with an absorbent internal layer, so there's no need for a cover or separate layers. They're normally the most pricey kind of reusable nappy.
All-in-twos or 'snap-in-ones'.
These cloth nappies have a watertight shell and one or more absorptive 'snap-in' layers or 'boosters', which you take apart for washing. They dry out faster than all-in-ones.
Selecting cloth nappies.
If you believe you want to use cloth nappies for your child, you'll need around 20-24 nappies to begin with, depending upon your cleaning and drying out routine, climate and also period.
Video: reusable cloth in Minonk
It's a great idea to attempt a couple of various types before you get one type in bulk. You can do this by:.
purchasing a solitary nappy in the styles you such as.
buying a trial pack from a firm that offers samples.
employing a test pack from a nappy library– this service is provided by nappy business and also some community groups and also councils.
asking friends or household if they have any kind of nappies that you might try.
There's currently no American standard for modern cloth nappies, so it deserves examining the guarantee and also after-sales solution before you acquire. Abroad imports can differ in high quality.
Disposable nappies.
? Disposable nappies typically have a plastic outer layer, a layer of super-absorbent chemicals as well as an internal liner. Disposable nappies are quick and also very easy to use and attach.
They come in various packet sizes as well as are created a range of ages.
If you believe you wish to use disposable nappies, it's a great idea to try a few different brand names to see which one ideal matches your infant and also budget.
You'll require as much as 12 nappies a day for a newborn and also 6-8 a day for a young child.

Tribune Freeport Reporter
THREE American women were arrested at Freeport Harbour in separate incidents on Friday and Saturday after they were caught with a combined amount of $100,000 worth of suspected cocaine strapped on their bodies.
According to police shortly before 7pm Friday, a 60-year-old American female presented herself at a security checkpoint at the Freeport Harbour. When she was searched, she was found in possession of 2.5lbs of suspected cocaine taped to her waist with a street value of $25,000.
A day later, shortly after 5pm Saturday two women, both 39, of Pompano Beach, Florida, were also at a security checkpoint at the harbour when authorities discovered taped packages of suspected drugs on their bodies.
Asst Supt Terecita Pinder said the packages weighed a total of 9lbs, 9oz and have a street value of $75,000. She said both women were preparing to board a ferry to Fort Lauderdale.
In another incident, shortly before 10pm Friday, police in Abaco while on routine mobile patrol in the area of Oleander Street, Dundas Town, saw two males who ran on seeing the police.
Officers gave chase and captured one of the suspects who was found in possession of a quantity of suspected marijuana. He was arrested and taken into police custody.
Shortly after 10pm, officers of Rapid Response Unit while in the area of East Sunrise Highway in Grand Bahama arrested a 28-year-old male of Mayfield Park, who was found in possession of 10 plastic bags of suspected marijuana.

The Power Electronics Aspar team will field Nicky Hayden on one of Honda's 'production racers' in 2014 after announcing the first part of their line-up on Thursday. The Spanish squad will switch from Aprilia to Honda's production machine with Hayden's teammate yet to be named, although Eugene Laverty is thought to be in the frame.
Team Manager Jorge Martinez 'Aspar' has welcomed the news and believes Hayden's experience will prove invaluable on the new machine.
"It is great news for the POWER ELECTRONICS Aspar Team to have the acquired services of Honda and a rider of the profile of Nicky Hayden. We are taking a huge step forward in terms of quality, prestige and image. We have grown a lot in a short space of time and we are all very excited about this new project with Honda. It is the factory that the ASPAR Team first started with back in 1992 and I have great memories of that period. Our objective is to continue being a reference point in the premier-class."
"I think the combination of Honda's MotoGP Production Racer and Nicky Hayden is going to be a very successful one. We are thrilled to be working with a manufacturer with the history that Honda has and a rider like Nicky, a World Champion with huge experience. It will be a big change for us after so many years working with Italian factories but we have high hopes for this new project. We are up for the challenge and we will give maximum effort to making sure the POWER ELECTRONICS Aspar Team continues achieving top results."
Aspar join GO&FUN Gresini and Cardion AB Motoracing on Honda's 'production racer' with Scott Redding and Karel Abraham set to ride them in 2014.

Hey everyone, how are we all doing? I am back today to share a post about planning. I once heard, those who fails to plan plans to fail, not too sure about that but I find that my work life is a lot more balanced since I started planning. 🙊
Being a person who does shift work, doing post graduate course at the same time is not easy. I have minimal time to socialise meaning I have to give this party a miss, that catch up session a miss due to my busy schedule and shift work.
So, I started planning. I plan weekly, daily and most importantly, yearly. I know what I want to Achieve daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.
There we go. I have a planner, a big one, I used to use kikki.k's planner but soon got bored after using it for 4 years in a row. I am currently using a plain one.
I write in what my shifts are for the week, due dates and such for uni, to do list. That ranges from cleaning the house, exfoliate my skin, meal preparation, laundry, grocery shopping…… I normally plan ahead and get things done one week the due date because I cannot work under pressure. I may have to spend more time than others but I think it is worth it.
This is how my planner looks like.
I will draw boxes in front of the to do list and tick them off when it's done. It gives me the sense of accomplishment.
I wake up everyday knowing what to do today and that just makes me happier because I am not wasting any time.
I make time for my Instagram posts and blog posts as well✔
Thanks for reading. Do you plan ahead? If so, how?

My Zekers is finally (dare I say it) over his croup and RSV. Bless him, he's been so sweet even though he's felt like poo. Elijah had it too, but at least I was able to medicate him a little more until it ran its course. I just HATE when my babies cry and ache... and keep everyone up all night. One night last week Ezekiel felt so terrible and congested that he didn't fall asleep until 5:30 am! Talk about a long night! Manny and I took shifts rocking and walking around with him, just trying to soothe him so he wouldn't cry. Then just as soon as he conked out, Elijah woke up feeling yucky too. I barely remember the next day because I was a walking zombie.
I finally caved and took Zeke to the doctor last week. She prescribed him an oral steroid (prednizone) to help w/the respiratory issues. It worked. I hate giving kids medication. But due to the fact that he's going to be put under general anesthesia in a few weeks with a tube down his throat (I shudder at the thought!) we wanted to make very sure his lungs are strong and healthy. And they are now.
Yesterday he got his second tooth. The lower, right central incisor.
In other news, we're still giving him cereal and baby food at least twice a day. The other night after a bowl of rice with apple/blueberries he still seemed interested in food so I gave him some of what we were having... boiled potatoes (he LOVED them!), boiled carrots, and a hotdog (in stead of kielbasa like the rest of us). He didn't really eat the hotdog, but he sure enjoyed gnawing on it. The next night, after having his baby food, I gave him my pizza crust to chew on. He really loves his puffs and cheerios too. But I think he finds "people" food way more interesting!
It's funny how different things are with Ezekiel compared to Elijah. When Elijah was a baby I never let him have any salt, sugar, or processed food of any kind before he was a year old. And even then I was really stingy with anything he put in his mouth. Now Zeke is 8 months old and already had a pickle, a hotdog, and pizza crust. At least I'm not giving him oreos... yet. :)

Newcastle 0 Manchester City 2: Some Thoughts
Phew again – etc etc etc
City continue to live on the edge and grey the few remaining black hairs I have left, but the results continue to come. It is now over two months since City lost a game, a statistic all the more impressive as we seem to play every three days at the moment. With these two goals City have surpassed last season's tally with four months to spare.
It was attritional, messy, unruly but ultimately successful. Another key away result for the team that apparently can't travel, though admittedly the team continues to struggle to teach the heights on the road, bulldozing its way over the finish line.
The team line up contained few surprises. Kolarov is now the number one left – back and Pellegrini continues to pick two up front, after Dzeko and Negredo combined so well against an admittedly pitiful West Ham last week.
But yet again it was a formation that proved troublesome. It allowed too much space to the opposition and City struggled to retain the ball for much of the match. And once more, it curtailed Yaya Toure, made him look lazy and thus limited his authority on the game. A liability eh? Thus it was better to have Javi Garcia on the pitch, again, as he does his simple job effectively and shows small signs of becoming the player we had hoped for.
It was the defence that excelled however. Joe Hart was excellent, whilst Kompany and Demichelis made 25 clearances between them. Apart from one defensive mix-up the back-four copied admirably. It's about time the defence got some praise, especially when it has to work so hard in many away games and Kolarov added to the list of excellent defensive performances, especially with one late crucial block and of course an assist.
Sorry, my mistake – Alan Hansen knows the score: "Hart's return to form is timely because if you are looking at the City defence all they have basically got is Vincent Kompany."
City started brightly and scored an exquisite goal (as it went in I commented "what a move". I then realised it was about the 30th time I have said that this season. We really have been spoilt), but after that their play became scruffy and their crisp passing deserted them (recording their lowest pass completion rate of the season at 73% according to football365.com). Half-time couldn't some soon enough, but for all the home team's continued threat after the break, it was City who fashioned the better chances in the second half, Negredo at the centre of most of them with Fernandinho striking the bar.
Negredo again didn't sparkle quite as much away from home, though he was still a constant threat, even if not everything came of and even if his goal had an element of luck to it.
So onto THAT goal. Or not, as it turned out. It was strange celebrating still being ahead in a game 30 seconds after being resigned to an equalizing goal. As for the fairness of it all, it merely highlights once more the ridiculous nature of the current rules. I don't think offside should be subjective, but that's how it is, not that the original rule was perfect either. I think it's fair to say that if the roles had been reversed we'd all be moaning about the injustice of it all, but it's hardly the worst decision of all time, though City have clearly benefited from a stroke of luck, which happens from time to time. The rules on calling offside were altered slightly in the summer and the new rules seem to back the opinion that a goal should have been awarded, though I've seen three different versions of that rule change online, but what is clear is that the player called offside was not in Joe Hart's line of vision and I very much doubt Hart was going to save the shot. However, the Newcastle player did swerve out of the way of the ball and it is possible he caused a distraction in that split moment. You can rule out the goal on a technicality and argue that case, but City were rather fortunate. Having said that, Newcastle had three players offside, and it's hard for our defence to play the game efficiently when the rules are so vague and everything is open to interpretation.
The other problem with the decision to disallow the goal is that it ended the referee's control of the game. I commented at the time that the referee might look to "even things up" thereafter, the general consensus being by awarding a soft penalty, but he took the alternative route of turning a blind eye to Newcastle's rough-house tactics, tactics that may well be linked to one of our best players this season missing the rest of the season and perhaps the World Cup. For all the whinging about the disallowed goal, the main talking point was the foul on Nasri by Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, which on second viewing could easily have resulted in a red card, but elsewhere Newcastle could and should have had at least two players sent off, most notably Cabaye who was allowed to get away with two clear bookable offences whilst on a caution.
(check out Nick Miller's article on football365.com, one of the few to point out that the talking point was not Tiote's disallowed goal).
Still, no media outrage at Swansea's offside equaliser the other week. Nor at Aston Villa's offside first goal or the second goal coming from a free kick that should never have been given. No comment that Walcott's second goal against City was just offside. No uproar at the fact Sunderland beat City with an illegal goal for the fourth season in a row. No uproar at the disallowed Negredo goal in the corresponding fixture. No rolling-news story for three days on any bad decisions against City at all in fact, no interviews with ex-referees on Sky Sports News, or condemnation of how City had been let down by poor refereeing decisions that could ultimately cost them the title. It all evens out over the season eh?
When you look at blog stats, you can see how people have been referred to your blog post. When I recently criticised the walking billboard that is Tony Pulis, my blog somehow ended up on a Crystal Palace forum, garnering considerable criticism. With that in mind, I think the criticisms are about to go up a notch or two, because it's time to talk about Newcastle's class-free manager, a buffoon of the highest order with form for buffoonery and a masters degree in advanced buffoonery from Oxford University.
"Shut your noise, you f*cking old c**t," shouted the grey-haired Newcastle manager as he continued his constant prowl around the technical area, ready to complain about any perceived injustice, from an incorrect throw-in call to a City player looking at him the wrong way. In the end, like a child who was sulking after not getting a PS4 for Xmas, he kicked the ball away from Zabaleta as he prepared to take a throw-in and a spat soon followed.
Here's a man with all the class of a dodgy east-end barrow-boy turned bad. Then he enhanced his "reputation" further, shouting towards Nasri as he lay badly injured on the floor, clearly insinuating he was play-acting. Still, at least he didn't push a linesman over this time, so every cloud and that….
Pardew waited for the referee at half-time, was back in his ear as the teams were led out for the second half and continued his whinging and moaning throughout the second half. It's not surprising that Pellegrini was tetchy when you see an opposition manager moaning for 90 minutes and trying to influence match officials. The graceless moron should be charged by the FA asap. An apology does not wipe the slate clean.
It's no surprise of course that Pardew has since apologised, a natural course of action once he realised he had been found out and with the threat of a(nother) FA charge looming. Needless to say it's not the first time he's had to apologise to a rival manager after a touchline spat.
(On a similar theme, I've never understood why managers (I'm looking at you Mr Wenger) feel the need to whinge and moan at 4th officials the whole match anyway, an official who has no bearing on the decision-making process. It's the act of a bully.)
In 2003, the BBC described Pardew as being a "dangerous and distant animal" in the media, referring to his public relations abilities. A bit harsh, but Arsene Wenger might agree, having two touchline spats with Pardew in 2006 alone.
I'm not sure I could have been as restrained about the whole affair as Manuel Pellegrini was. There's your holistic approach to matters right there, a gentleman who kept his cool in the face of provocation and doesn't allow the story to be about him.
And the sense of injustice spilled into the crowd, as you would expect – no different to how we would react I imagine. But a small point for Newcastle fans – at the moment that a player is being stretchered off with his leg in a brace whilst almost crying in agony – well that's probably the point where it should become apparent to you that he is not play-acting and didn't go down to try and get the opposition player booked/sent off. Booing him as he is taken off might just therefore be construed as the act of a bunch of pea-brained cretins. I hope this helps.
The most bizarre comments on my Twitter fans were the usual accusations of City "cheating". Just to clarify, a Newcastle player falling to the ground after no contact to win a free-kick outside the area, as happened in the 2nd half, is cheating. A referee disallowing a goal is not and had nothing to do with City, unless one or two City players talking to the referee (which after all has never happened before in the history of the game) is somehow construed in these deluded people's brains as influencing the referee. The decision had nothing to do with City. Slag off the referee all you want if it makes you feel better, but please stop boring us with these puerile claims of cheating and of buying the referee.
Since the match, Nasri has tweeted that he should be out for 8 weeks – a relief really, as it could have been much worse, but still a blow for City. This should mean more match-time for Milner and Navas, or even Rodwell (stop laughing at the back).
And so to the Emptyhad (ha!) on Wednesday, and what will surely be a weakened team. Expect run-outs for Clichy, Milner, Nastastic (if he is fit), Rodwell (if he is fit), Richards (if he is fit), Jovetic (if he is fit) and even Aguero (if he is fit).
Graham Ward permalink
Yet ANOTHER excellent piece, Howard. Great stuff.
Always nice to read some sensible words about the match after being flooded with words of outrage from both set of fans on twitter. Top read, as always, Howard.
Spot on H, really dissapointed in both Newcastle as a team and also their fans. Think they should look at themselves, a day when they came out with no credit whatsoever.
The fuss over the disallowed goal was ludicrous, and the bleating, whinging Geordies are no doubt still whining about it three days later. Anyone would think it was a cup final, or a derby. The biggest travesty of the day was undoubtedly the way the referee allowed Newcastle to kick lumps out of City's players thereafter. I doubt they will play with that level of intensity ever again, or at least till City's next visit.
Smalltime club. Classless manager.

As to my speed on the one overnight hike I did on the CDT, let's not even talk about how slow that was! (But I do get some dispensation cause we started at 9,000 feet, and I'd only been higher than sea level for 2.5 days!)

We made a good effort and it is time to get behind Terrie to turn Florida Blue! Look at all the counties without DECs!
Hopefully Terrie will follow through on Forum comments and support Stacey to continue to influence Party actions.
Also, hopefully the other DECs will take note of the fact that our SCM Proxy, SCW and Chair all voted the democratically determined wishes of their membership. Precedent?

adventures in baby food
I may change my tune, but for now I'm making all of Mimers baby food. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I rather like it. And let's be honest, it's not that hard. She opens her mouth like a baby bird and I swoop in with a bite. Some ends up on her face and comes squishing out her lips, but for the most part we're getting the hang if it.
Next up… buying a high-chair. I love the wooden swiss one, but it looks like it would be hard on a baby bum & it doesn't have a tray. Otherwise, I like some of the modern ones, but they may look a tad out of place in our house. Any recommendations out there?
7 comments:
I am going to start making Collins' food. Have been planning on it for a couple of months now--- but it's time to try it.ReplyDelete
I have a painted jenny lind high chair- but it's too big for Collins. I have just been using the bumbo. I think that I am going to buy a high chair from Ikea. All of my friends love them and say they are small and easy to clean.
She is precious. I am impressed that you are making her food. That is awesome.ReplyDelete
AHHH- Bonnie she is ADORABLE! Look at her cuteness eating in her bumpo. Love it! How time consuming is it to make her food?ReplyDelete
so we have something else in common! i have the babycook, too, and love it. I made most of Charlie's food and just cooked up a bunch of batches for Natalie during the snow. Our freezer is full of all sorts of yummy delights for her now. I wanted my babies to eat organic as much as possible, and it's way way cheaper to make it. I find it doesn't take long at all, esp. with the babycook because it basically does the work for you. Plus you have a large quantity to stick in the freezer so it lasts a long time. I have a couple of cookbooks you're welcome to borrow if you want, and on my blog there are links to a couple of good websites on the right hand side. We'll chat about it! Oh, and as far as high chairs, we never had room for one in our bungalow, so we went straight from the Bumbo to one of those cheap Fisher Price boosters w/ a tray (they attach to a chair.) We loved it because we could travel with it, too. Charlie just moved out of it into a normal booster seat, so we're going to start using it for Natalie shortly.ReplyDelete
we have the svan & it's great because it's small. Only problem is the price (over 300 with cushion & tray cover). my parents have the ikea one & it's great. the other cheap and small seat is the fisher price one that straps onto a chair- super easy to clean, too.ReplyDelete
Thanks yall. She's still in the bumbo for now, but I definitely need an alternative soon. Too bad we don't have an Ikea! I'm dying to go there.ReplyDelete
We've got the Boon flair and it's fantastic! I highly recommend it! I'm making all of my BabyGirl's food as well. She's just a little younger at 6.5 months and doesn't really care for much besides bananas!ReplyDelete

Athletics' Bartolo Colon Tests Positive for Testosterone, Gets Suspended 50 Games
A week after San Francisco Giants slugger Melky Cabrera got busted for using testosterone, Oakland Athletics pitcher Bartolo Colon has reportedly tested positive for the same exact drug.
Bay Area, stand up.
"The Oakland Athletics are disappointed to learn of today's suspension of pitcher Bartolo Colón," the team said in a statement released Wednesday morning.
"The organization fully supports Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program and its efforts to eliminate performance-enhancing substances from our game. Per the Basic Agreement, the A's will have no further comment."
According to MLB rules, unless Colon can prove that his positive test was the byproduct of something beyond his control, he will get suspended for 50 games.
Maybe he can give Melky's web designer a ring.
In 2012, after a disastrous campaign with the New York Yankees last season, Colon experienced something of a resurgence. Up to now, he was 10-9 with a 3.43 ERA.
Now we know what that resurgence can be credited to.
Colon has released a statement (via Yahoo! Sports):
"I apologize to the fans, to my teammates and to the Oakland A's. I accept responsibility for my actions and I will serve my suspension as required by the Joint Drug Program."
So, there you go. He's done for 50.
(Kudos S.F. Chronicle, Yahoo! Sports)
