Your little one spends so much time sleeping that their sleep environment is very important. We’ll show you how to clean a cot mattress and keep it safe from bacteria and germs. Keep your baby healthy even while they sleep with tips on how to clean a cot mattress thoroughly and safely.
Remove the cot mattress, cover, or any bedding. These can usually be thrown in the laundry and safely washed with detergent.
Check for a care label on the mattress or find the manufacturer's site. This will help you figure out if it's okay to use cold/hot water or gentle detergents on the mattress.
Vacuum the cot mattress to get rid of dust or dirt. Make sure to vacuum the sides and bottom as well as any crevices. If your vacuum comes with a special attachment for tackling small crevices, try this to make this process more thorough.
Scrub the mattress all over with warm water and a gentle detergent. Make sure you thoroughly wipe the detergent from the cot mattress to ensure that no residue is left.
Spritz the mattress all over with a fabric refresher like Dettol® Disinfectant Spray. This will ensure that mould and bacteria don't have a chance to latch onto the damp mattress. The Disinfecting Spray will also help remove any residual odours.
Dry the cot mattress completely. Press dry towels into the surface to soak up moisture, then let the coy mattress air-dry in the sun, if possible, which has natural whitening properties. Make sure the mattress is totally dry before placing it back in the cot. Bacteria and mould love dampness, so protect your baby by ensuring that the cot mattress is fully dry.
Make up your baby's bed with bedding that fits the cot mattress snugly. Remove any extra blankets or stuffed animals before putting them to bed. Both you and your baby can rest easy now that you know how to clean a cot mattress!

In my last post, I gave a shout-out to my father, who I fear could be overlooked by a largely electronic census, given dad’s likely nonagenarian status in 2020. Older Americans uncomfortable with today’s gadgets are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to population groups that the Census Bureau might have difficulty reaching through the Internet.
It does seem like everyone is walking around with a smartphone glued to their ear, or reading their news or the latest Stephen King novel on a tablet. But the hard facts — gleaned from a Census Bureau survey on Internet usage — tell a different story.
In Exploring the Digital Nation: Home Broadband Internet Adoption in the United States, the Commerce Department reported that more than three-fourths (77 percent) of U.S. households own a computer, be it handheld or sitting on a desk or lap. But computer ownership and broadband adoption are not spread evenly across household income levels, race and ethnicity, age, level of education, disability status, and geographic location.
Seventy-three percent of urban (metropolitan area) households use the Internet, compared to 62 percent in rural (non-metropolitan area) households. Seventy percent of urban households have broadband access; 57 percent of rural households do.
More than four-fifths of Asian households and roughly three-quarters of non-Hispanic White households use the Internet. Less than 60 percent of Black, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Hispanic households can access the Internet at home.
Forty-six percent of households with incomes below $25,000 have home Internet access, compared to 84 percent of households in the $50,000 – $75,000 income bracket. There also are significant broadband adoption differences by household income: Nearly 90 percent of households in the $75,000 – $100,000 income range access the Internet using broadband; only 43 percent of households in under-$25,000 group do.
Less than half of household heads with a disability use the Internet, compared to three-quarters of those without a disability.
For census apostles, the most worrisome aspect of the disparate access to computers and reliable Internet is that, to a significant degree, many population groups lagging behind technologically are historically harder to count in the census and prone to disproportionate undercounts. Furthermore, a quarter of households without Internet access cite affordability as a major barrier to this service. Current economic trends do not favor better financial circumstances for lower income households.
Earlier this fall, I mused about the lightening pace of technological change, which will present significant challenges for the Census Bureau as it designs a less-costly enumeration for 2020 over an eight-year span. No doubt, access to computers and the Internet will increase across all demographic subgroups with time. But as new technologies emerge, differential access to those tools is likely to persist.
So, yes, I agree with Census Director Robert Groves that 2020 must be a “multi-mode census. … We must move beyond the mailback questionnaire and the personal interview … to ensure that the response options for the census reflect the communication platforms that people are using.” (Testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services, and International Security, April 6, 2011.) But some of those modes will be more costly and traditional than others, and Congress must be mindful of the digital divide as it decides how much money to spend on planning and execution of the next decennial count.
Happy holidays and best wishes for 2012!
That got me to thinking about the Census Bureau’s road from mail to cyberspace, a path which is now inevitable, given stern directives, coupled with tight budget reins, from Congress.
Federal lawmakers have concluded that Americans will embrace electronic response to the next census with a vengeance, with traditional mail or hand-delivery almost an afterthought. Of course, Congress sometimes — how shall I put this tactfully? — gets it wrong. And the people’s representatives haven’t exactly been generous with funding to ensure appropriately comprehensive research and testing of how Americans of all ages, races and ethnicities, incomes, and places of abode feel about the pending changes.
My father is 80, retired, active on boards and in community and political affairs. Given the family genes, he’s likely to be around for the next population tally. But email? Can you spell F-A-X? He swears by it. Cell phone? Never had one. In March 2020, Dad had better get a nice white envelope bearing the official seal of the U.S. Census Bureau in his traditional silver suburban mailbox, along with a postage-paid return envelope. Otherwise, he might miss being counted in his ninth decennial enumeration.
Back to the Census Future?
Federal statistics: They don’t get no respect!
Last week, Senate appropriators, mindful of the cutthroat competition to slash federal programs more than the next guy, thoughtfully suggested that the U.S. Census Bureau could design, plan and execute the 2020 census for the amount it spent on the 2000 count. Yes, you read that correctly. While keeping costs in line with the just-completed 2010 enumeration would be good, the appropriations panel wrote in its explanation of the Fiscal Year 2012 Commerce Department spending bill (S. Rpt. 112-78), paring the price tag to match 2000, without adjusting for inflation, would win a gold star.
People (all 309 million of you!), I know you are thinking one of two things. Have Senators lost their minds? Or, won’t all the new-fangled technology allow the Census Bureau to count people for a fraction of the cost? Let’s examine both propositions.
First, the state of mind of our distinguished elected representatives. To be fair, the budget process has become so convoluted and devoid of any logical progression that even the most levelheaded lawmakers can be excused for their nostalgia. But $4 billion? That was the price tag for the 1990 census. You know, the one with the highest recorded disproportionate undercount of Black Americans. The one with the lower-than-projected mail response rate, maybe thanks to a data processing machine-friendly questionnaire that looked (and read) like an SAT test. The first census to be measurably less accurate than the one before it. 1990 was the last census to advertise with 2:00 a.m. public service announcements; to ignore the vital role of community-based organizations in promoting participation; to build address lists without substantial input from local officials.
Senators clearly heard the uproar from an impressive range of data users when the Census Bureau said it would cancel next year’s economic census if Congress doesn’t come up with more money than the House was considering. They directed the agency to maintain the quinquennial survey of business and industry while focusing reductions on “periodic censuses and agency-wide administrative cost savings.” Never mind that the economic census is a periodic activity or that the census director announced a money-saving move to close six of 12 regional census offices months ago. In other words, rob Peter to pay Paul, because you aren’t getting enough funding for both. Like I said, no respect.
Which leads us to our second question: Won’t the Internet or other technology-based options for answering the census and gathering data in the field bring down costs substantially? Undoubtedly, modernizing the enumeration will help the Census Bureau keep costs under control. The bureau is testing Internet response in the ongoing American Community Survey, with promising results so far. The Washington Post reported (4/5/11) that 20 percent of Canadians responded by Internet in that nation’s last census; statistical experts hope twice that many will use the Web in this year’s Canadian count to achieve a cost-savings.
But the Census Bureau will have to spend some money now to save money later. Census Director Robert Groves told a Senate oversight panel last spring that the agency “know[s] it must innovate if we are to remain useful and relevant to the country. [T]his innovation is not likely to be funded by added resources; we must become more efficient.” The bureau requested a reasonable $67 million in FY2012 to start a three-year research and testing initiative to modernize and streamline the 2020 census.
Yet the Senate is telling the agency to cut back on census activities other than the economic census. That pretty much leaves wrap-up of the 2010 count or research on improving methods for 2020 on the chopping block. The bureau could halt efforts to measure the accuracy of the 2010 census and end the program that allows challenges to a city’s housing and population numbers (which adds few changes to the results, but tell that to the mayors!). I am having trouble following the logic here, given that Senate funders want the Census Bureau to dramatically reduce the cost of planning the nation’s largest peacetime activity while exercising a “unique opportunity” to “streamlin[e] operations, eliminate[e] wasteful processes … and tak[e] better advantage of technology.” The Census Bureau last year proposed an initiative to update the nation’s address list throughout the decade, potentially saving the hundreds of millions of dollars it would cost to confirm 100 percent of addresses right before the next census starts. Congress won’t cough up the modest amount of money requested for the new program.
I think I’m getting one of my famous census headaches. Maybe I’ll channel Rip Van Winkle and wake up in time for the 2030 count.

Following a public consultation in April, a planning application has been submitted for a 42,000 sq ft Waitrose foodstore in Banbury.
The multi-million pound proposal will see an area of surplus land at the Mondelēz International (formerly Kraft) factory site on Southam Road developed creating 200 new jobs.
Once planning consent is received, the intention is to start work on site in late 2015/early 2016 and complete the project ready for Waitrose to open in early 2017.
The store has been designed to complement the high standards of Waitrose through the use of materials and design that give a high quality aesthetic to the building. The scheme has received overwhelming public support with 86% of respondents to the public consultation in support of the scheme. A committee date is expected in August 2015.

Obesity has become an epidemic on a global scale and poses one of the biggest concerns to human health and well-being. The World Health Organization has declared that obesity is a disease of pandemic significance, which threatens the developing world.1 Also alarming is that an estimated 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are obese at the time of diagnosis or have a history of obesity. The link between the two conditions is so strong that Shape Up America! trademarked the term diabesity, and it has since been used commonly among health care professionals.
Because of its impact on health, obesity deserves to receive more attention from the government, health care profession, and health care insurance industry. Research is severely limited by a shortage of funds as well as by inadequate insurance coverage and access to treatment. Mistreatment of people with obesity is widespread and often considered socially acceptable.2 This article discusses the causes of obesity, the link between obesity and diabetes, and methods of prevention and treatment.
Assessment of weight involves evaluating body mass index (BMI), abdominal fat, and the patient's risk factors.
BMI should be calculated for all adults. Normal body weight is defined as a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2. Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25 to 29.9 kg/m2. Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater. There are three classes of obesity: Class I (BMI = 30-34.9 kg/m2 ), Class II (BMI = 35-39.9 kg/m2), Class III (BMI ?40 kg/m2). Individuals with a normal BMI should be reassessed every two years. In addition, a muscular person may have a high BMI without the additional health risks.
Excess abdominal fat, not proportional to total body fat, is an independent predictor for risk of diabetes and morbidity. Among those with a BMI of 25 to 34.9 kg/m2, a waist circumference of more than 40 inches in men and more than 35 inches in women is associated with increased risk of diabetes.
Coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, and other respiratory problems are associated with a very high risk of disease complications and mortality in obese individuals. Obesity is also associated with complications of pregnancy, menstrual irregularities, stress incontinence, and psychological disorders (e.g., depression).
The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes or diabesity among children is of particular concern. Prevention, through healthy eating and lifestyle, must take the highest priority. Therefore, the most fundamental, and perhaps important, task in addressing the epidemic of obesity is prevention. To date, the strategies that have been developed to prevent obesity have been disappointing, and the problem of obesity is worsening. It is believed that obesity has both genetic and environmental origins and that these factors are linked.
In our modern Western society, attractive, energy-dense foods and an environment that encourages a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the obesity problem. Solutions should range from protecting children against the bombardment of advertising from processed food manufacturers to promoting physical activity guidelines in schools as an essential component of daily activities.
The Centers for Obesity Research and Education (C.O.R.E.) has been established to provide such advocacy and to lead the way in promoting and supporting the changes necessary to make a difference. Even modest weight loss, achieved through lifestyle changes, reduces the risk of impaired fasting glucose, which leads to the development of type 2 diabetes.
The goals of treatment are to prevent further weight gain, to reduce body weight (initially, by 10% from baseline over a period of six months), and to maintain a lower body weight in the long term.
Nonpharmacologic therapy should include an individually planned diet that involves a reduction in fat as well as total calories. Physical activity of moderate intensity should be gradually increased to a goal of 30 minutes per day. Behavior therapy should include tools to help overcome individual barriers to weight loss.
Individuals with high levels of physical activity are less likely than those with lower levels to develop depressive illness. In those with mild-to-moderate depression and anxiety, prescribed physical activity is associated with improved symptoms. Other benefits of physical activity include reduction in blood pressure, improvement in plasma lipid profile, and alterations in coagulation and hemostatic factors. Thirty minutes of regular physical activity of moderate intensity on most days is highly recommended.
Pharmacotherapy is normally started in patients who do not lose weight or maintain weight loss after diet, exercise, and behavioral therapy for six months. Drug therapy can be started along with dietary therapy and physical activity.
There are several broad categories of medications--lipase inhibitors such as orlistat, anorexiants such as sibutramine, and short-term adjunct therapy such as phentermine.
Orlistat: Orlistat is the first of a new class of antiobesity agents with a unique mode of action that targets dietary fat. Orlistat is an inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases, which are required for the systemic absorption of dietary triglycerides, and it prevents the absorption of 30% of dietary fat, thus producing some weight loss.
Orlistat is indicated for long-term treatment of individuals who are obese (BMI ?30) or who are significantly overweight (BMI ?27) and have other risk factors. It should be used in conjunction with a hypocaloric diet (i.e., up to 2,000 kcal) containing no more than 30% in fat calories. Daily intake of fat should be distributed over three main meals.
Sibutramine: This drug blocks the neuronal uptake of norepinephrine and, to a lesser extent, serotonin and dopamine. It is used in the management of obesity, as well as for weight loss and maintenance of weight loss. Sibutramine should be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet.
Sibutramine is classified as a class IV controlled substance. This drug is recommended only for obese patients with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater or of 27 kg/m2 or greater in the presence of other risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and/or dyslipidemia. Obesity due to untreated hypothyroidism should be ruled out.
Side effects include nausea, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, menstrual cramps/pain, and rare thoughts of suicide. Physical and psychological dependence on this medication may occur. If any of these side effects occur, patients should speak with their doctor before stopping treatment.
Phentermine: Phentermine is a short-term adjunct to a regimen of weight reduction that includes exercise, behavioral modification, and caloric reduction for the management of exogenous obesity in the presence of other risk factors (diabetes, hypertension).
Phentermine is structurally similar to dextroamphetamine and comparable as an appetite suppressant. It is generally associated with a lower incidence and severity of central nervous system side effects. Phentermine, like other anorexiants, stimulates the hypothalamus, resulting in decreased appetite via norepinephrine and dopamine metabolism.
Patients with severe clinical obesity (i.e., BMI ?40 or BMI ?35 with coexisting conditions) can be considered for weight loss surgery when other methods have failed.
Pharmacists have an exceptional opportunity to educate patients about dietary supplements, weight-loss medications, and what to expect from therapy. They can also help to improve adherence to medication regimens. Patients should be aware that obesity is associated with an increased risk of various chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. In addition, they should be informed that because weight loss is a long process, patience and adherence to daily regimens are essential for achieving beneficial results.

Among those with a BMI of 25 to 34.9 kg / m2 , a waist circumference of more than 40 inches in men and more than 35 inches in women is associated with increased risk of diabetes .
 Coronary heart disease , hypertension , stroke , type 2 diabetes , gallbladder disease , osteoarthritis , sleep apnea , and other respiratory problems are associated with a very high risk of disease complications and mortality in obese individuals . Obesity is also associated with complications of pregnancy , menstrual irregularities , stress incontinence , and psychological disorders ( e.g. , depression ) .
 The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes or diabesity among children is of particular concern . Prevention , through healthy eating and lifestyle , must take the highest priority . Therefore , the most fundamental , and perhaps important , task in addressing the epidemic of obesity is prevention . To date , the strategies that have been developed to prevent obesity have been disappointing , and the problem of obesity is worsening . It is believed that obesity has both genetic and environmental origins and that these factors are linked .
 In our modern Western society , attractive , energy - dense foods and an environment that encourages a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the obesity problem . Solutions should range from protecting children against the bombardment of advertising from processed food manufacturers to promoting physical activity guidelines in schools as an essential component of daily activities .
 The Centers for Obesity Research and Education ( C.O.R.E. ) has been established to provide such advocacy and to lead the way in promoting and supporting the changes necessary to make a difference . Even modest weight loss , achieved through lifestyle changes , reduces the risk of impaired fasting glucose , which leads to the development of type 2 diabetes .
 The goals of treatment are to prevent further weight gain , to reduce body weight ( initially , by 10 % from baseline over a period of six months ) , and to maintain a lower body weight in the long term .
 Nonpharmacologic therapy should include an individually planned diet that involves a reduction in fat as well as total calories . Physical activity of moderate intensity should be gradually increased to a goal of 30 minutes per day . Behavior therapy should include tools to help overcome individual barriers to weight loss .
 Individuals with high levels of physical activity are less likely than those with lower levels to develop depressive illness . In those with mild - to - moderate depression and anxiety , prescribed physical activity is associated with improved symptoms . Other benefits of physical activity include reduction in blood pressure , improvement in plasma lipid profile , and alterations in coagulation and hemostatic factors . Thirty minutes of regular physical activity of moderate intensity on most days is highly recommended .
 Pharmacotherapy is normally started in patients who do not lose weight or maintain weight loss after diet , exercise , and behavioral therapy for six months . Drug therapy can be started along with dietary therapy and physical activity .
 There are several broad categories of medications -- lipase inhibitors such as orlistat , anorexiants such as sibutramine , and short - term adjunct therapy such as phentermine .
 Orlistat : Orlistat is the first of a new class of antiobesity agents with a unique mode of action that targets dietary fat . Orlistat is an inhibitor of gastrointestinal lipases , which are required for the systemic absorption of dietary triglycerides , and it prevents the absorption of 30 % of dietary fat , thus producing some weight loss .
 Orlistat is indicated for long - term treatment of individuals who are obese ( BMI ? 30 ) or who are significantly overweight ( BMI ? 27 ) and have other risk factors . It should be used in conjunction with a hypocaloric diet ( i.e. , up to 2,000 kcal ) containing no more than 30 % in fat calories . Daily intake of fat should be distributed over three main meals .
 Sibutramine : This drug blocks the neuronal uptake of norepinephrine and , to a lesser extent , serotonin and dopamine . It is used in the management of obesity , as well as for weight loss and maintenance of weight loss . Sibutramine should be used in conjunction with a reduced - calorie diet .
 Sibutramine is classified as a class IV controlled substance . This drug is recommended only for obese patients with a BMI of 30 kg / m2 or greater or of 27 kg / m2 or greater in the presence of other risk factors , such as hypertension , diabetes , and/or dyslipidemia . Obesity due to untreated hypothyroidism should be ruled out .
 Side effects include nausea , constipation , dizziness , drowsiness , menstrual cramps / pain , and rare thoughts of suicide . Physical and psychological dependence on this medication may occur . If any of these side effects occur , patients should speak with their doctor before stopping treatment .
 Phentermine : Phentermine is a short - term adjunct to a regimen of weight reduction that includes exercise , behavioral modification , and caloric reduction for the management of exogenous obesity in the presence of other risk factors ( diabetes , hypertension ) .
 Phentermine is structurally similar to dextroamphetamine and comparable as an appetite suppressant . It is generally associated with a lower incidence and severity of central nervous system side effects . Phentermine , like other anorexiants , stimulates the hypothalamus , resulting in decreased appetite via norepinephrine and dopamine metabolism .
 Patients with severe clinical obesity ( i.e. , BMI ? 40 or BMI ? 35 with coexisting conditions ) can be considered for weight loss surgery when other methods have failed .
 Pharmacists have an exceptional opportunity to educate patients about dietary supplements , weight - loss medications , and what to expect from therapy . They can also help to improve adherence to medication regimens . Patients should be aware that obesity is associated with an increased risk of various chronic diseases , such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems . In addition , they should be informed that because weight loss is a long process , patience and adherence to daily regimens are essential for achieving beneficial results .

Brighton’s annual dedicated metal festival Mammothfest makes a bigger impact each year and this year’s event was no exception, especially as they impressively managed to bag 3 UK exclusive headliners with Rotting Christ, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Amenra.
Since its return in 2014 Mammothfest has always mustered up a formidable line-up, comprised of heavyweight acts such as Textures, Venom Inc, Sylosis, Entombed, Martyr Defiled and more in the past, as well as always showcasing the best and upcoming talent, they even have a whole stage devoted to this, named the Rikstock stage, after Mammothfest director Steve Dickson lost his close friend and business partner, Rik Mosquero to brain cancer, he went on to name the stage in his honour and highlight the emerging artists, Rik himself was in local band Hole In The Sky who have frequently played the festival, including this year’s event. Along with the bigger calibre acts they bring in each year, the festival has successfully managed to upscale its venue as its new current home is The Arch located on the seafront and is a perfect central spot in Brighton, whereas previously the festival has hosted at different and smaller venues across a weekend, highlighting again the growth and expansion of this massive metal event.
With Mammothfest less than 3 weeks away now, we take a look at just a few of many reasons why you should be checking out this annual Brighton UK based festival, which keeps growing every year. This year it takes place from the 6-8th October at The Arch, Brighton located along the seafront, making it a great venue to host this mental extreme metal weekend.
The festival has impressively managed to secure all three headliners as UK exclusives which is very exciting, especially when the headliners consist of controversial Greek extreme band Rotting Christ (Friday), Italian Avant-garde Fleshgod Apocalypse (Saturday) and Belgian metallers Amenra (Sunday). They can all only be witnessed at Mammothfest in 2017, so that is one hell of a reason to come along!
Those who have attended Mammothfest before will know the kind of carnage that follows on each day at the festival. For those who have never been before, you can now get a taste of what to expect across the weekend as Mammothfest has unveiled footage from previous events.
There are four videos to watch, from the “weekend” video with a preview of everything you can experience at Mammothfest over the three days, to the separate videos of daily themed footage.
This includes the Friday, which is the “Black Metal Day”, headlined by Rotting Christ. The Saturday, headlined by Fleshgod Apocalypse, a day packed with a variety of extreme styles in metal. Finally, the Sunday “Doom Metal Day”, headlined by Amenra. All headliners are exclusive to Mammothfest UK in 2017.

Simply put, Transhield’s unique, non-abrasive composition protects boats during storage or transportation without causing damage to paint, plastic or other fine finishes.
- Transhield can be applied easier than most other products on the market and in a fraction of the time. These are custom-fit covers so there is less taping, tucking and folding than there would be with other forms of covering. Application takes only a few minutes. Simply install the cover, fix it to the boat being covered and shrink it tightly. Transhield covers allow access to the boat while in storage.

I can justify the purchase of almost any kitchen appliance. Even though my condos kitchen was built for a bachelor not a food blogger, I find a way to fit almost anything you could possibly need to cook with into the space. If I can get more than three uses out of it, I usually buy it.
When I first brought home my dehydrator from the store, I had only one purpose in mind: making my own tempeh. As soon as I walked through the door, hoisting the box on my hip, I knew I was going to have to do some major persuading to keep it. Since I had never used a dehydrator before, I was at a complete loss for other uses. But, like any home cook dead-set on keeping her new toy, I set out to win over my husband the best way I know how — whipping up delicious, we-must-keep-this dishes.
A dehydrator, made popular by raw-food enthusiast and jerky fans, can be used to make almost any type of cuisine. If you’re new to dehydrating, start with easy, no-fail recipes like kale chips or dried herbs and fruits. While you might have to plan your meals out further in advance as dehydrating foods can take anywhere from 12 to 36 hours, once the prep is done you can set it and forget it. Think of a dehydrator as the new slow cooker: Place your ingredients in the tray and wait.
Nuts and Seeds: Try soaking and then drying nuts and seeds for a crisp, roasted flavor.
Sprouted Flour: If you like sprouted breads, try making your own using sprouted flour. Dry sprouted grain kernels at a low temperature, then grind into flour. A little more work than buying a loaf at the store but the taste and freshness can’t be beat.
Yogurt: The dehydrator also makes an excellent yogurt maker. Most cube-shaped models will fit jars to make yogurt. Although temperature requirements can vary depending on the specific culture, generally 110°F will set yogurt properly.
Jerky: I admit, I’ve never made jerky. But I do plan on trying some tofu strips soon. You can use any type of protein!
Proof Sourdough: Living close to San Francisco, I’ve become something of a sourdough snob. If your dehydrator goes low enough, you can warm your sourdough starter at 75 to 80°.
Fruit Leather: Also known as adult Fruit-by-the-Foot. Making fruit leather is simple using a food dehydrator. You will need a non-stick sheet, but most dehydrators either come with this or it can be purchased separately.
Tempeh: If you’ve ever been turned off by the bitterness of packaged tempeh, I urge you to try making your own! Homemade tempeh definitely cracks the list of my top 10 favorite foods.
Have you ever used a dehydrator? What are your favorite items to make in it?

* KISS cover; with "Gene Simmons" (a.k.a. Jay Von Lehe).
Phish Companion says: This show is noted for its legendary setlist, fun performances, and ridiculous musical teasing. This long version of Wilson included a Simpsons Signal and, towards the end, a freakish jam that included an Iron Man tease from Mike. Reba included a tease of the theme from Woody Woodpecker. Tweezer had a Low Rider jam and a Straight From The Sewer rap. Glide subsequently included Tweezer teases. This insane, loose Mike's Song featured minor lyric changes, three different Tweezer teases, two different Wilson teases, and other teases of Reba, Lizards, and Stash. Mike teased the Esther "circus" theme in Hydrogen, which was bookended by The Vibration of Life. The Rock and Roll All Nite jam was for a fan dressed Kiss's Gene Simmons, who the band brought on stage to sing the song's chorus. Terrapin featured band intros and lots of chatter from Fish, prompting a hurry-up HYHU tease from Page. Fish also performed a lengthy vacuum solo during this tune. The HYHU outro segued nicely into Hood as Fish and Trey switched places. Neither Have Mercy (1st since Halloween 1986 - 479 shows) nor My Minds Gotta Mind were played in their entirety. Walk Away was played for the 1st time since 11/2/91 (157 shows).

Stammerer’s almost always can sing and talk to themselves quite fluently.
Stuttering and stammering, may be described as spasmodic speech defects, resulting in a sudden check in the flow of words, of a rapid repetition of a consonant or consonants with which the person has difficulty. Usually the difficulty is with the sounds p, b, m, and w, which are sounds made by the lips. Hypnosis may be able to help you with stuttering and stammering..
The stutterer or stammerer does not, however, always have difficulty with the same sounds. His emotional state at the time of speaking may be a factor in how he speaks.
Stuttering or stammering is almost never due to any organic weakness, either in the organs used in speaking or in the nerves and nerve centers that control them. Physical factors may, however, sometimes aggravate it. The doctor will first make sure that inflammation of adenoids, abnormal length of uvula, abnormal size of the tongue, and improper development of the mouth are not involved.
Often children who stutter develop behaviour changes; a fear of appearing ridiculous produces a subsequent lack of confidence. Persons naturally left handed but trained to use their right hand stammer more frequently than others, and males more often than females. Anyone acutely embarrassed or terrified is likely to stammer, until his emotion is under control. Stammering is usually and expression of self-consciousness, shyness, or fear.
In an eager youngster, however, it may be nothing more than failure to keep up with his rapid flow of thought; words and thoughts are conceived faster than they can be expressed.
Because stuttering and stammering are primarily conditions, which have emotional causes, treatment is directed toward the person’s mental conflicts. When the conflict is solved, the person will probably regain self-confidence and the speech defect disappears. The person with a speech defect may benefit from special speech correction classes. A class may be preferable to personal instruction.

Mum and Dad arguing and you stuttered as a baby which stopped them while they turned their attention to you – can make a decision for you, even as a baby, to stutter each time they argue. You had learnt a tool that works! When you grow up of course, you can’t remember doing that – in the interim mum and dad have been worried about you and taken you to all sorts of specialists to help you to stop stuttering.
You don’t need to know. Your subconscious subconscious knows. And, whatever the reason is will determine how we deal with that in hypnotherapy.
So if you or your child stutters or stammers, hypnosis may be just the thing to help you stop that.

Right out of the gate we’d like to thank you for your fundraising efforts. Seriously, our hats are off to you! It doesn’t matter whom you are working on behalf of, fundraising for a cause that you believe in can be challenging and often, gruelling work.
The world is changing. How we are able to raise funds to further critical missions, that’s changing too. We need new, fresh ideas and innovative solutions. We need more transparency and open communication. Donors need to feel secure that their generosity is being received with honesty and integrity.
Have you ever realized that the non-profit industry is the only one that begins with a negative? We dig a little deeper and find that the Latin root of the word ‘profit’ is profectus, which is defined as ‘progress or advancement’. So ‘non-profit’ literally translates as ‘no progress’ and we know that is how many of you feel, out there in the trenches, trying to change the game and build a better world.
NOW, HOW CAN FUNDING INNOVATION HELP?

If this is the first you are hearing about us, we recommend that you go here and watch this short video that will give you an idea of who we are, what we are about and what we do.
Our Easel Program is our key offering and through it we are able to provide a zero-risk, long-term, sustainable source of funding to charitable and humanitarian organizations. Click over to this page to learn about how it works.
Even when change is necessary, change can feel hard. Trying something new or being the first to adapt a different model can be a bit scary. The good news is that our business is well established and we have a solid track record of partnering with numerous hospital networks, and organizations like SickKids Foundation, Make-A-Wish Canada, Children’s Miracle Network Canada and many others.
