Well I've finally started co-sleeping ever closer with my daughter. She's no longer in her little bed she sleeps right beside me and wow what a wonderful night sleep I get. However I'm running into a lot of critisism from many people and I'm just not sure how to deal with them. The other day my public health nurse was here telling me how dangerous co-sleeping is. That she can smother herself on my pillow(which i make sure is no where near her face), my breasts (I'm a size H, i unfortunatly can't move them), or get too hot from sleeping near me that SIDS is a concern. I try to ensure that she's not to hot and has no comforter on her just a thin sheet (but I have circulatory problems and need a comforter so I allow it over me but ensure that it only goes up to her hips if it's on her at all). Family members tell me I'm setting myself up for trouble. That she'll never want to leave our bed that she will become too attatched to me, yada yada yada. I've done some of my own reasearch (on this site and others) and am coming to the conclusion that I'm not the only one in the world who wants or feels the urge to do this. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can reduce my fears about hurting her and how to tell people to mind there own buisness?

Attachment parenting since 2008
HelpTags: None
I have found that avoiding the topic or not even telling them how we all sleep helps. Sometimes it's hard to change people's mind, so we just don't talk it with them. When asked how the kids sleep, my response is usually, "They sleep great!" and move on...
Glad you are getting good sleep and enjoying cosleeping
Don't you love other people's opinions... UGH!!!
My response is, "we sleep better this way and it works for us." If people try to go on about it, I usually just repeat, "It works for us" and then change the subject.
I'll also explain that I am breastfeeding and that it is so much easier to have him in bed with me so neither one of us has to fully wake.
But, really... a lot of times I feel that I don't need to explain my parenting style, so I stick to "It works for us."

when it comes to other people, it depends on what i'm feeling at the moment. am i needing to justify my own actions? if so, i move on, b/c i shouldn't have to justify myself to anyone. i then focus inward and look at why i have this need. maybe it's b/c i don't feel confident or well-read enough in my choices. so i read more, etc.
or, am i wanting to educate others? then i usually respond w/various co-sleeping facts, not wanting to change the other person's views, but merely to inform.
so first, decide what your motives are, then respond accordingly. here's a good article to help answer your ?s:
I was really nervous when I started co-sleeping with my first baby, but as she got older, I got more confident. I agree with Giselle that I don't usually bring it up first, especially with people in the medical community or relatives who just aren't going to stop bugging me about it, but they ask first about what co-sleeping, I tell them. And if someone gets on my case about the safety risks, I say, "Well, it works for me." Also, you could try pointing the person to Dr. William Sears' Web site, or API's sleep guidelines, or another source that lists how to make co-sleeping safe.
I used to get negative reactions all the time about cosleeping. I don't anymore because everyone who knows me knows they will get quite an earful if they say anything. The first thing I always pointed out to the naysayers was that countries where cosleeping is the norm have much lower SIDS rates than the US, so how exactly does it raise the risk? Then I would point out that risk of suffocation has nothing to do with SIDS, if a baby suffocates that's a cause of death that can be identified and therefore by definition NOT sids. That was usually enough to stop most people in their tracks, as I have yet to meet anoyne who has a good response to that one. On the rare occasion people still wanted to argue about it I would just ask them if they wanted my advice on parenting, when they inevitably said no, I asked why they thought I wanted theirs? OK so that one's a little harsh and I don't recommend using it on friends, family or anyone else you don't want to alienate, but the only people who got that from me were strangers, so it was ok.
Oh and to answer the other question about reducing your fear of hurting your dd- here...this board...any other source of cosleeping information you can find. Seriously that is the only thing that reassured me was connecting with other cosleeping families. The answers you're getting here already are good, the only thing I can add is this- your instincts tell you that it is best for your dd to be near you, that tells me that you're a good mama and in tune with your baby, which in turn tells me that your instincts will not let you hurt your dd even while you are sleeping. You will be aware of her, just as she is comforted by being aware of you. Trust yourself, and try not to listen to people who say otherwise.

How often to you roll over the edge and fall out of bed? What? You never fall out of bed? And why is that....? Because you know where the edge of the bed is even when you are asleep! Well, you also know where your baby is, even when you are asleep. You are not going to roll over on top of your baby for the same reason that you are not going to fall out of bed.

Lori Mummy to 4 beautiful monsters.
visit me at mummysgarden!
Hello ladies. I'm new here but not to co-sleeping. I am a mother of 4 youngest is 3months. I co-slept with every one of them until they decided they wanted there own space. I bf so it just made sense to me. I did suffer the wrath of my mother for awhile with my first, we had to live with her for a few months and she kept trying to get me to lay her in the crib and let her CIO. OMG that was tough. After I left there I made up my mind to follow my own heart and instinct guided me to a total AP lifestyle with my family. My ds sleeps right next to me, sometimes between me and DH. If he breaths funny or moves it wakes me enough to check on him. It is just natural.
We don't talk about it with my family anymore, They are supportive of the Bfeeding, cding but my mother is always trying to get me to lay ds down. She likes my slings but doesn't understand why I carry him all the time. After 4 kids you think she would figure it out. lol
I'm so happy I found you ladies.

API resource leader, Takoma Park, MD
There was a really worthwhile study done in Europe on SIDS recently, in which 745 SIDS cases from all over Europe were compared to control subjects.
They found that the safest place for a baby to sleep was in the same room with the parents, but not in the same bed. However, the increase in risk when the baby slept together with the mother in her bed was very slight as long as the mother was a nonsmoker, and went away entirely after the baby was 8 weeks old.
Carpenter, Irgens, Blair, England, Fleming, Huber, Jorch, Schreuder, ôSudden unexplained infant death in 20 regions in Europe: case control study.ö Lancet 2004; 363:185-91.
I'm glad you've found a solution that is working for you! Remember that having decided to sleep with your baby in the same bed today doesn't mean that's what you'll be doing next week, next month, or next year. As your baby's needs change and your own needs change, you can re-evaluate and make sure that's still the best sleep arrangement for your family.

It almost sounds like it's discouraging cosleeping (baby in bed with parents) because it's not safe? That's odd to me, since that seems to go against Dr. McKenna's findings.
Here's a part from Dr. McKenna about another study which sounds similar to the one you posted about:
I challenge here the validity of the assumptions and ideologies which underlie recent recommendations most recently by Kemp et al (2000) and Carroll-Pankhurst and Mortimer (2001) against cosleeping in the United States, and specifically bedsharing, and show how scientific biases and a selective presentation and interpretation of data permit pro-crib sleeping researchers to accept accidental infant deaths or SIDS in cribs, as tragic "problems to be solved", while simultaneously interpreting all bedsharing/cosleeping deaths … as inevitable, and "preventable", as proof that all bedsharing should be recommended against. I suggest here that a scientific double standard is being employed in assessing the quality of data needed to make recommendations about sleeping arrangements: one standard for researchers who defend the rights of parents to choose to sleep with their children, using scientific data showing potential benefits, and another standard used by those making sweeping generalizations based on anecdotal and incomplete data. These incomplete data serve as the basis for unjustified public health recommendations against all or any cosleeping in the form of bedsharing.Last edited by Giselle; 04-18-2008, 09:09 PM.

"permit pro-crib sleeping researchers to accept accidental infant deaths or SIDS in cribs, as tragic ôproblems to be solvedö
this has always infuriated me. when babies die in cribs, no one says, "we have to get rid of all the cribs" (even though crib mattresses have been proven to release toxic chemicals). no one tells the parents they were negligent to put their baby there to begin with, yet the exact opposite is true of parents who cosleep.
i'd venture to say that no one who uses a crib ever researches whether or not is safe, but the majority of co-sleepers do. so the more-researched, thinking people are shamed. i think this speaks to a greater cultural issue: those who chose to think for themselves are shunned.

"Kind words can be short & easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Mother Theresa
I was going to post the same study by Dr. James McKenna that Giselle did. His website is a great resource if your new to bedsharing/co-sleeping or just looking for more information.
When I run into criticism, depending on the sort of mood I am in, I mainly nod my head and say thank you. I feel confident in the choices I make as a parent and I greatly value the road I have traveled and the unique choices I have made that work for my family.
A personal story... my dad had always given me grief about bedsharing with my children. I paid him no mind, smiled, and continued sleeping with my babe. When I went into labor with my oldest son and left for the birth center, my oldest daughter crawled in bed with my parents who were staying with us, as it was the middle of the night. When they came the next morning, my dad whispered in my ear, "now I know why you like them sleeping with you - their sweet little snores, their warm little bodies curl right up next to you. Its the most peaceful feeling in the world." I couldn't have asked for a better way for him to change his mind! It didn't come from me trying to change his mind, it came from him experiencing it himself, which I feel is a stronger place anyway! He now tells all my siblings to sleep with their babies, its just great.Last edited by apimarianne; 04-19-2008, 09:25 AM.

We'll respond shortly.
You know how tech is. If you don't stop and look around every, oh, hour or so, a brand new, very interesting technology has surfaced.
If that is not bad enough, old technologies get reinvigorated, like people taking up Vi, Lisp, NeXt… :)
So if you're like me, are 'time poor' and want to get something valuable out of your precious personal-project time, then be brave.
Today I started on a small gem, to help people track what's taking a lot of time in their Rails boot process. I needed to test. I use RSpec at work, yet I fell back to my default, minitest, because it comes for free with Ruby and is pretty straight forward for small work. I noticed, for the first time, that minitest has a BDD style syntax. Feeling brave, I used it.
I'm glad I did.
It will confuse me when I switch context back to work, then back to the gem. Nevertheless, I enjoyed using something so simple but slightly nicer to type, read and comprehend than:
def test_it_wants_to_have_lots_of_underscores end
You would think that using a bunch of differently named expectations would be annoying. It wasn't. It stretched my mind in a short amount of time, which is more satisfying than the string of passing tests in my little personal-project.

Traffic studies are a common occurrence in the USA. Experts say public would be informed of any traffic study that caused major travel disruptions.
Ahh, the lowly traffic study.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's evolving scandal over the politically motivated closings of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge in September has thrust into the national conversation this ever-present, but seldom discussed, phenomenon of modern transportation.
If you drive regularly, chances are excellent that you've been a participant in a traffic study."Tens of thousands" of traffic studies are done annually in the USA, estimates David Schrank, a research scientist at the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University in College Station.
"There are umpteen different reasons why you would want to study traffic or learn something about it," he says.
Among those reasons:
• Traffic studies are routinely required for many new proposed development projects. The Institute of Transportation Engineers recommends that a traffic impact study be conducted whenever a proposed development will add 100 or more trips during the peak hour on adjacent roads or at the development. Local jurisdictions sometimes have their own, separate guidelines.
• Traffic studies are typically required for new projects or developments that have to go through an environmental review process, or for proposed developments that face opposition from a neighborhood group.
• Traffic studies are also done along specific highway corridors. This can be for things such as timing traffic signals or planning turn lanes or other traffic management options.
New Jersey officials initially said that they closed some access lanes to the George Washington Bridge between New Jersey and New York as part of a traffic study. Last week, Christie fired his deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, after the release of documents showing she was aware of the closings before they occurred. Press reports indicate the closings were meant as political payback to Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, a Democrat who did not endorse Christie for re-election.
It is unclear whether a traffic study was actually being conducted at the bridge during the lane closures, an incident that is under investigation.
Michael Sanderson, president of Sanderson Stewart, a regional engineering and planning firm based in Billings, Mont., and a former board member of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, says "it's almost a certainty" that anyone who drives regularly has participated in a traffic study. "You've almost certainly been observed, counted or your speed recorded as part of a traffic study, and you didn't have any knowledge of it," he says.
"Most of the time, you look at what you expect the future to look like," says Schrank, who says traffic studies from the states are part of TTI's Annual Urban Mobility Report, which measures congestion around the nation.
Typically, the traffic engineering department of a city, state or county, or a firm it hires, "will do what's called a screen line. They draw an imaginary line around the city, and everything that crosses that line, they count," says Alan Pisarski, author of Commuting in America, the comprehensive periodic examination of the nation's commuting patterns.
Sanderson says information is gathered either manually, "by a traffic engineer or technician sitting along a road with a clipboard, actively recording what they see," or by automated equipment, such as video data collection or sensors in the roadway.
The idea of someone standing on the side of the road counting cars "is so two years ago," says Jamie Holter, a traffic analyst with INRIX, a Kirkland, Wash.-based provider of traffic data that works with government agencies and others doing traffic studies. "With Big Data, you don't need to do that anymore. That said, many governments take a belt-and-suspenders approach to traffic studies. They will use INRIX data, but may also still send an intern out to stand on an overpass or at a corner in an orange vest with a clipboard and a clicker to count cars."
She delved into INRIX data that is routinely gathered on thousands of roads in the USA to see how the Sept. 9 bridge closure impacted traffic.
According to Holter's analysis, congestion on northbound Interstate 95 south of the George Washington Bridge more than doubled during the morning commute when two of the three lanes were closed. Travel times that day increased significantly from typical travel times at 7:45 a.m. and remained unusually heavy until 10:30 a.m.
Holter, Schrank, Pisarski and Sanderson all say it would have been standard protocol to inform the public of any traffic study expected to cause that kind of disruption. "If we were going to do a traffic study that involved significant impact of the traveling public, the agencies we work with would require us to inform the public," Sanderson says.

Graceful Conifer Inspires a Devoted Club of Scientists
Northern Research Station scientist Laura Kenefic resists the temptation to stick with people she knows at scientific gatherings, and her discipline is paying dividends for northern white-cedar.
Attending a forestry conference a decade ago, Kenefic joined a table of strangers that included Jean-Claude Ruel, a Canadian scientist who, it turned out, was looking for long-term data on northern white-cedar. A research forester at the Penobscot Experimental Forest north of Bangor, Maine, Kenefic happens to work at one of the few places in the country with more than half a century of data on the species. Their collaboration quickly grew to include scientists from universities, industry, the U.S. Forest Service and the Canadian Forest Service who are all interested in northern white-cedar. Meetings, dinners and a few adventures in the course of research aimed at addressing the tree's slow growth and sparse regeneration gave the group of scientists an atmosphere that felt unique to its members. "It seemed more like a club than a scientific working group," Kenefic said. "We became the Cedar Club." Read more »

Our graduate programs are designed to prepare pre-kindergarten through community college level teachers. Our programs focus on providing teachers with the research, critical thinking, and life-long learning skills essential for leaders in today's schools based on a foundation of content knowledge in the sciences and mathematics.
We have two distinct concentrations reflected in our twin Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degrees –
- Science Education
- Mathematics Education
Core courses focus on critical evaluation of science and mathematics education research and applying that knowledge to the context of today's changing world. Teachers in our program require deep pedagogical content knowledge to guide their own students in the learning process.
Master of Arts in Teaching Science
Science Education courses are designed to provide teachers with relevant content in a way that meets their individual needs and backgrounds.
Discipline specialists within the department teach courses in fields that model research-based best practices in science teaching; all of our science classes are hands-on and inquiry-based.
Our elementary specialist teaches courses specifically designed for students with the broad and less science-rich backgrounds typical of elementary school teachers. These courses often involve collaborations with discipline specialists and emphasize the nature of science and inquiry based instruction.
Thesis Option. Those students who wish to pursue an advanced degree are better served to choose the thesis option; this work prepares the students for doctoral level research.
Non Thesis Option. Traditionally, the master's in Science Education has been structured without a thesis requirement. This works well for students expecting the master's to be their terminal degree.
Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics
The Mathematics Education curriculum has become a content-oriented program that strives to achieve a balance between increasing subject-matter knowledge through appropriate core courses in higher-level mathematics and linking the content of these higher level courses with the relevant content, technological, and educational issues of the mathematics curricula in grades 7 – 14.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Museum Tower, one of Dallas' newest and most controversial landmarks, may be for sale.
Dallas developer Jack Matthews has for weeks been negotiating a potential deal with the 42-story tower's owner, the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System, sources with knowledge of the talks say.
The talks have sparked hope that a change of management for the tower could help produce some movement in the standoff with the Nasher Sculpture Center over the tower's glare, a controversy that has roiled the Dallas Arts District for months.
"Mr. Matthews has demonstrated time and again that he is a thoughtful, civic-minded developer committed to our community, and we would welcome the opportunity to work with a willing partner to resolve the problem quickly and effectively," said Nasher director Jeremy Strick in an emailed response to inquiries.
Asked about the negotiations, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said Matthews is among many people who have come forward with both financial and technical solutions to the problem created by the tower's exterior, which reflects harsh sunlight inside the Nasher. The sculpture center has honeycombed roof screens designed to allow only indirect light to bathe the exhibits.
"Anytime you can bring new thoughts and new creativity and new people into the equation, usually that helps out something that has been stalled," Rawlings said. "And for some time I think those discussions have been stalled."
Gary Jacobson and I will have more in tomorrow's paper.
9:45 p.m. Update - Here's an emailed statement from pension system administrator Richard Tettamant:
"Museum Tower is one of the premier residential properties in the United States. The project has just been completed, and it is to be expected that a property as beautiful and unique as Museum Tower will have interested buyers. The Dallas Police and Fire Pension System's Board of Trustees has a fiduciary responsibility to its members to consider all viable offers. We're very proud of this exceptional property and believe it is an outstanding investment for the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System."

Comments: Truly love these spinnerbaits. They just out fish all other spinnerbaits. I like to use the bluegill color & a devil spear trailer in a craw color. You can pop it, stroke it & slow roll it if the water is cold. Just catches fish all the time. Average fish is probably ~3lbs
From: Matt: Planfield, IL 7/16/16
Comments: I started using these spinnerbaits in the bluegill pattern two weeks ago and all I can say is nothing compares. I have a ton of smallmouth up here and they absolutely punish these things and the advantage spinnerbaits can handle it. The amount of flash they give off is better than anything I've seen.They don't bend or break and with the super sharp hook my fish landing ratio has increased 10x. These things are the real deal.Buy a handful and find out for yourself, you won't regret it.
From: Dany: Watervliet, Ny
Comments: Before I found these spinner baits, I wasn't much of a spinner bait fisherman. But I have been throwing Advantage spinner baits for nearly 2 years now, and I'm still amazed at the number of Big bass that I have caught with these spinner baits.The special machined finish on the blades give off a unmatched amount of flash. I still haven't found any other spinner bait that have the flash that these blades give off. And as a tournament angler, I'm always looking for a edge against my competitors! Advantage spinner baits give me that edge! Give them a try, you will Thank me later. Excellent product.

Go to the Well again with Murphy
Gareth Friel previews Saturday's SPL action and is keen on Motherwell's Jamie Murphy to add to his goal tally.
- Related Content
Motherwell were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Aberdeen in midweek but they are unbeaten in six SPL matches and have the chance to put some daylight between themselves and Hibs when they visit Easter Road on Saturday.
Hibs have the best home record in the division while only Celtic have taken more points away from home than Motherwell so we could be in for a cracker.
Stuart McCall has demanded his 'Well side go on and secure a European place through the league following their Cup defeat and a victory in Leith would be the perfect response.
If pushed I would back the away side here having witnessed some of Hibs' horrendous defending at Inverness last weekend and patchy performances in recent home games. But it certainly wouldn't be with any great confidence.
I've been very impressed by Motherwell forward Jamie Murphy in recent weeks. The forward made a slow start to the season in terms of goals, scoring only twice in 18 games.
But with four in his last nine the 23-year-old has been a key player in the Steelmen's rise up the table. Notably, all his goals this season have come away from home.
Only two sides have stopped Motherwell from scoring on their travels so far so Hibs will have their work cut out denying the visiting frontmen. Muprhy is 5/2 with Paddy Power to score at anytime which is worth backing.
Elsewhere, Inverness are surely decent value at 13/5 to win at Dundee United.
The Caley Jags are on a fantastic run of just one defeat in 16 in all competitions while the midweek win over Ross County was their tenth in 13.
Dundee Utd have won their last two away games to nil but still have big issues with their home form. They are winless at Tannadice in four months and lost last time out against Motherwell.
The Arabs have more than enough quality to turn that record around, and if they do could really push into contention for the 'best of the rest' slot behind Celtic.
But at the moment it's Caley in that spot and they have to be worth backing at what looks like a big price.

Student Learning Outcomes & Assessment Cycles for the Department of Psychology The Department of Psychology developed its plan for using SLOs around a synthesis of two models: Bloom's (1956) Taxonomy of Educational Objectives and Wiggins and McTighe's (1998) Six Facets for Understanding. Both paradigms characterize learning across multiple domains, and each domain demarcates learning as moving from simple to complex. Both suit the Dept. of Psychology well because they provide a framework for thinking about the relationship between teaching and learning content that is both objective and subjective. Across courses, the Dept. of Psychology has the ultimate goal of providing education that increases each student's ability to think, behave, and feel in increasingly complex ways so that each student can better the relationships with the self, their families, their communities, and the world. To accommodate the broad diversity among students as well as to honor the unique pedagogical philosophy of each faculty member, the Dept. of Psychology has elected to share best practices of assignments given and assessments collected to evaluate learning among all students in the department. These best practices will also serve to evoke discussions within the department to refine and adapt curricula and assessments to meet both faculty and student needs. Ultimately, revisions made will be in keeping with the following nine exit standards and core competencies:
Upon successful completion of the required course work in General Psychology, the student will be able to:
Exit Standards for:
GCC CORE COMPETENCIES (Institutional Learning Outcomes) 1) Communication: Learners express themselves clearly and concisely to others in logical, well-organized papers and/or verbal presentations using documentation and quantitative tools when appropriate. Learners listen, understand, debate, and use information communicated by others. 2) Mathematical Competency/Quantitative Reasoning: Learners understand, interpret, and manipulate numeric or symbolic information; solve problems by selecting and applying appropriate quantitative methods such as arithmetic, quantitative reasoning, estimation, measurement, probability, statistics, algebra, geometry and trigonometry; and present information and construct arguments with the use of numerical and/or statistical support. 3) Information Competency: Learners recognize the need for information and define a research topic; select, access, and use appropriate sources to obtain relevant data; evaluate sources for reliability and accuracy; and use information in an ethical and legal manner. 4) Critical Thinking: Learners evaluate the credibility and significance of information, effectively interpret, analyze, synthesize explain, and infer concepts and ideas; solve problems and make decisions; and construct and deconstruct arguments. 5) Global Awareness and Appreciation: Learners recognize and analyze the interconnectedness of global, national, and local concerns, analyzing cultural, political, social and environmental issues from multiple perspectives; they recognize the interdependence of the global environment and humanity. 6) Personal Responsibility: Learners demonstrate an understanding of the consequences, both positive and negative, of their own actions; set personal, academic and career goals; and seek and utilize the appropriate resources to reach such goals. 7) Application of Knowledge: Learners maintain, improve and transfer academic and technical skills to the workplace; demonstrate life-long learning skills by having the ability to acquire and employ new knowledge; and set goals and devise strategies for personal and professional development.

- Review for Choose to Change Review by Christine A
I really like Kelly McGonigal. She's calm and insightful with a really pleasant manner. If you've read her book, you can consider this course The Willpower Instinct-Lite because it deals more with meditation and little fun exercises than the science in her book. My only complaint is that this was a taping of a live online course. During one of the sessions, I think it was 3 or 4, the video link between the moderator and Kelly McGonigal was severed so we just had her voice. That session should have been re-recorded before selling this video course. I didn't pay for an audiobook and felt ripped off. It seems very lazy and unprofessional of Sounds True not to have done so. Luckily, the moderator and Dr. McGonigal are both very likable with interesting insights.

This course offered education, along with tools on how to move forward ~ ~ and .... started me on the path of meditating, as I noticed a huge difference after the exercises. Kelly's unique way of sharing this information and bits of her own story, can really get her students to understand the process and connect with it ~ ~ she is an amazing teacher! I am soooo grateful to have stumbled upon her and also excited to check out the Sounds True site a bit more ~ beautiful concept .... sharing tools to enhance the lives of others in an affordable way, that we can complete in our own time. I am hoping it stays accessible for a little longer, as I would like to work through it one more time to help the information stick. Mahalo!!

Pink chucks and love at the French Open
May 31, 2012 19:36:37 Posted at May 31, 2012 19:36:37 Photos:
After two weeks in Cannes, Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson showed up in Paris today at the French Open. She wore pink chucks. He was in leather loafs. And he, as always, is so totally into her. Maybe not out in the open like this? It's only fair, right? Or are they so cute they get a pass? It's the ones with his hand on her neck that make it too intimate.

Looking for an over ear upgrade to the vmoda m80. Budget is around $400. That does not mean I WANT to spend $400, but I will if need be (the cheaper the better!) I will be driving these unamped from an iPhone 5, so an iPhone control pod is nice, but not needed. I want something with a touch more bass than the M80 and in a more comfortable form factor (the M80 hurt like a bear trap!) However, I became adicted to the nice, wide soundstage of the M80. So far, I have narrowed my choices to as follows
VModa M100 (Worried about comfort, but willing to give Vmoda a second chance)
Sennheiser Momentum (lovin those cushy earpads!)
Denon D2K (What I'm leaning towards currently, but worried about the iPhone not being able to drive them)
Still very open to suggestions!
BTW the Sony XB1000 are out. Those earpads look freaking ridiculous

Boeing: 747-8 Upgrades Can Save $1 Million Per Aircraft
By Woodrow Bellamy III
| November 4, 2013
Boeing is almost ready to bring a series of avionics and engine upgrades to its flagship 747-8 aircraft, claiming a further reduction in burn of 1.8 percent. The airframe manufacturer began flight testing the initial performance of the GEnx-2B Performance Improvement Package (PIP) in May, and is now finishing up the flight test program with the first PIP-equipped 747-8 expected to enter service by the end of the year.

Testing has also confirmed upgrades to the flight management computer (FMC) software, which has added Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Authorization Required (AR) to the aircraft's approach and departure procedures.
Additionally, the FMC software upgrades adds an optimal climb feature, which allows for more predictive planning of "winds aloft," according to Bruce Dickinson, chief project engineer for the 747-8 at Boeing.
"With the FMC, we've got the optimum steps feature which allows for some more predictive planning for winds aloft, so you can get to a more optimal altitude based on your winds aloft," said Dickinson. "We have the RNP AR feature that's activated that lets us use RNP approach and depart procedures, which are better for efficiency, so that's fuel and emissions savings that goes with it. The third piece of the FMC is quiet climb, which is auto management for our threshold for takeoff and climb for really noise abatement."
Dickinson said the aircraft's tail fuel tank has also been reactivated to provide added range, and a minor software change to extend the length of time the fuel remains in the aft tank will also improve the performance. That and other upgrades introduced since the 747-8 first entered service in 2011 will produce a combined 3.5 percent improvement in fuel efficiency.
Boeing collaborated with Honeywell and GE on the PIP upgrades, as Honeywell supplies the FMC and GE supplies the engines for the 747-8.
The fuel efficiency improvements were more of a result of the engine hardware change, leveraging experience from the GEnx-1B engine, along with a software upgrade for the aircraft's electronic engine control (EEC), resulting in a fuel savings of $1 million per aircraft per year.
"We absolutely met our targets. Its a million dollars per airplane per year," said Dickinson. "We've been using that as kind of a practical reference point and our fuel burn savings matched our expectation in our flight test program."
According to Dickinson, the software upgrades will also be available to 747-400 operators, although the fuel efficiency improvement only applies to the passenger and freighter versions of the 747-8 because of the engine changes.
Other improvements on the 747-8 since its entry into service include a weight reduction totaling 7,700 lbs. to help increase the available payload.
Boeing is also considering future improvements that could further increase the range of the aircraft and raise fuel efficiency as well.
"We're quite excited about what it means to the future of the product and it demonstrates all the investment we're making in continual improvement. We're as excited as the airlines are to see it up flying," said Dickinson.
The engine and avionics software upgrades will be standard on new production 747-8s, and delivery of the first PIP-equipped aircraft is scheduled to occur before the end of the year.

A bacterium called Vibrio cholerae causes cholera infection. However, the deadly effects of the disease are the result of a potent toxin called CTX that the bacteria produce in the small intestine. CTX binds to the intestinal walls, where it interferes with the normal flow of sodium and chloride. This causes the body to secrete enormous amounts of water, leading to diarrhea and a rapid loss of fluids and salts (electrolytes).
Contaminated water supplies are the main source of cholera infection, although raw shellfish, uncooked fruits and vegetables, and other foods also can harbor V. cholerae.
Cholera bacteria have two distinct life cycles — one in the environment and one in humans.
Cholera bacteria occur naturally in coastal waters, where they attach to tiny crustaceans called copepods. The cholera bacteria travel with their hosts, spreading worldwide as the crustaceans follow their food source — certain types of algae and plankton that grow explosively when water temperatures rise. Algae growth is further fueled by the urea found in sewage and in agricultural runoff.
When humans ingest cholera bacteria, they may not become sick themselves, but they still pass the bacteria in their stool. When human feces contaminate food or water supplies, both can serve as ideal breeding grounds for the cholera bacteria.
Because more than a million cholera bacteria — approximately the amount you'd find in a glass of contaminated water — are needed to cause illness, cholera usually isn't transmitted through casual person-to-person contact.
The most common sources of cholera infection are standing water and certain types of food, including seafood, raw fruits and vegetables, and grains.

Northwood's Dunleavy MVP of all-city defensive team
Northwood linebacker Joe Dunleavy had a record-setting year for the Timberwolves, capping a tremendous three-year varsity career at the school.
Dunleavy, the all-city defensive MVP, was named co-defensive player of the year in the PCL along with Corona del Mar's Alex Moore and earned All-CIF Southern Division honors.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Dunleavy wound up shattering the school record for tackles in a season with 142 solo tackles and 35 assisted tackles. The total number of tackles ranks him sixth in the state, according to Coach Rick Curtis.
"Joe was one of our team captains and was our defensive quarterback while leading our team in tackles by playing sideline to sideline from his middle linebacker position," said Curtis.
"Joe was a true warrior in his three years on the varsity level; he was a player who played through numerous injuries while leading our defensive unit each week."
Dunleavy and his teammates struggled at the beginning of the season, losing their first four games.
But Northwood came on strong in Pacific Coast League play to finish 3-2 and capture the Dennis Toohey Fence Post trophy. The Timberwolves advanced into the quarterfinal round of the CIF Southern Division playoffs, losing to Laguna Beach, 28-21.
"Making it to the quarterfinals, (winning) the Fence Post (stood out)," Dunleavy said. "Our team played good the whole season.
"We had to get a huge victory over Woodbridge to get it (the Fence Post) which was pretty key. We came to play and we just did it."
The Northwood players were able to listen to the advice of the coaches to finish up the season well.
"Everyone just bought into the system and started believing again and everyone just got it going," Dunleavy said.
Dunleavy played three years of varsity football at Northwood.
"I've played my whole life," he said. "I love playing with my friends and being out there with the guys."
Each year, he's been able to make strides to become a better football player.
"I feel more confident in what I'm doing out there," he said.
Dunleavy said he has developed his confidence and improved as a player with the help of his father along with Northwood coaches Rick Curtis and Dean Toohey.
He is looking to continuing his football career next year.
"I'm going to try and keep playing next year, whatever happens, happens," he said.

cute but too small
"I usually wear an 8, but my foot barely fits into the 8s... I went up to an 8.5 and it's too long. The front toe area is just a little too stuffy to comfortably squeeze in without a lot of adjusting to get my toes 'just right'. it's a beautiful shoe and very comfy (once you can actually squeeze your toes in)."

The Open Country H/T with Tuff Duty is engineered for high torque diesel pickup trucks that tow trailers or occasionally haul heavy loads. Three-belt construction, multi-wave sipes, and other enhancements deliver a long, dependable wear, increased tread mileage*, exceptional ride comfort, and balanced all-season performance. The Open Country H/T with Tuff Duty is also M&S rated.
Deep Tread Depth - Tread depth up to 17/32nds, Increases tread life for longer wear.Tuff Duty 3-Belt Construction - Reinforces and stabilizes internal tire construction for increased tread life.Less Tread Void - More rubber equals larger, more evenly distributed contact with the road for longer tread life.Tuff Duty logo on sidewall - Unique mark distinguishes Open Country H/T with Tuff Duty technology from standard Open Country H/T tires.
I would not buy these tires again even with someone else's money! 25,000 miles and Les Schwab whom I purchased these from says the tread is too low and the tires need to be replaced. I have never had tires with such low mileage with such horrible tread wear. I say buyer beware!

Overall I have liked the tire but I had two of them within the span of a month suffer from tread separation. This has disturbed me quite a bit, as I occasionally tow my travel trailer and dont want that to happen during my trips. luckily due to regular servicing both were caught early. Buy with caution.

Very good overall
"I got these a half size larger than normal just so I'd have more room. As I wear them, they stretch out a little, so I'd probably have been fine with my standard size. They are a tad narrow around the base of the toes, at the balls of the feet.The material is shiny -- it looked more matte in the picture. The quality looks very good.They are pretty comfortable and I love that I can wear them with jeans as well as skirts."

That Was The Most Funniest Gay Story I Ever Read !!
They are so funny..
Really awesome.Thank you for sharing this post....
how long did it take u 2 come up with that story?
lol very funny
Why is it everytime I read something involving Sai and Oro it's yaoi?
"I'm gonna drop a double cup on your tennis balls!"
funny but yeah im ova it
You're exactly right, Aizen. My blade is full of hate. I didn't come here to fight you. I came here to violently hack you to pieces. I don't care if this fight costs me my position as a captain if it means being able to kill you.
I didn't think the speed and range of your attacks would suddenly jump up so much after you released. Do not misjudge a Shinigami's power."
If you make Hinamori shed even one drop of blood... I'll kill you.

ACE Fit Share
Starting Position: Sit on the floor or mat with your legs outstretched in front of you, toes pointed toward the ceiling. Knees should be straight. Bend your left knee and place the sole of the left foot against the inside of your right thigh. Sit as tall and straight as possible keeping your head aligned with your spine. Place your hands on the top of your right thigh.
Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine. Exhale and slowly bend forward from your hips, sliding your hands toward your ankle. Do not allow the back to round. Keep your head aligned with your spine. Do not lower or lift the chin. The knee should remain straight with the toes pointed toward the ceiling. This should create a stretch through your hamstrings and calf muscles, with some stretching in your low and middle back.
Continue to hinge forward until you feel tension in the stretch, but do not bounce or push to a point of pain. Hold this position for 15 - 30 seconds. Relax and return to your starting position. Repeat 2-4 times. You may choose to grasp your ankles to hold this position. Repeat with the opposite leg.
Exercise Variation: This stretch can become more dynamic by performing slow, controlled movements to complete 1 set of 5 - 10 repetitions, holding the stretched position for 1 - 2 seconds.
To maximize the benefits of a stretch and reduce the potential for injury, it is important to stretch only to the point of tension, avoid bounding, and control movement at other segments of the body. During this stretch, avoid any excessive rounding of your low back.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Just wanted my muumuus Marine Print Muumuu Love this particular garment. Cool material, nice colors, and very flexible. Also, sized correctly. April 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by organist Marge This product is perfect. I ordered this muumuu to wear while in rehab after my upcoming back surgery, and I am delighted with it. It is comfortable, soft, and quite dressy looking. It will help to make a difficult experience more pleasant. July 21, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Queen of Hearts As a Muumuu, it makes a tolerable nightshirt This is not the cut and quality that I have come to expect of muumuus from here. The cut is narrow; it hikes up when I garden, do yoga, load the dishwasher, read a book. The fabrc is limp. It is ok to use as a night shirt, but I wouldn't call it a muumuu. (The tiered model was good a couple of years ago. I liked the crisp 100% cotton.) July 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BeachBarb Love this muumuu!! I think I've found my "Goldilocks" muumuu -- cotton gauze is too thin (see through) and, while I love the 100% cotton muumuus that I've purchased here, their fabric is heavier than this one. This muumuu is very lightweight but not see through. This might be due, in part, to the color and design of the print. I have several Vermont Country muumuus, but this one is my favorite. June 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dean927 Very cool and light muumuu! This muumuu is great for summer, very light weight and comfy. True to size, very roomy. Very pretty design. June 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by summer3900 Love this Muumuu I look forward to putting this on when I get from work in the evening because it is just so comfortable. August 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by LPR Not a Good Value I'll wear this around the house but never outside...very thin, flimsy material. I would think Vermont Country Store could find more American made products of better quality. July 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by aunt di Pretty, comfortable and easy to launder I bought this same muumuu over five years ago and have used it extensively in warmer weather and when traveling to warmer climates, because it doesn't take up much space in my suitcase. I have literally worn it out and was happy to see that I could purchase a replacement. June 7, 2013

Einstein on Race
"But after I accepted that…he actually said such things, the next puzzle for me was why? Because…prior to Martin Luther King, I don't know of any other Nobel Laureate who spoke so forcefully for the rights of African Americans."
—S. James Gates, Jr., string theorist
"My trip to this institution was in behalf of a worthwhile cause. There is a separation of colored people from white people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."
—Albert Einstein, speaking at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania in 1946
Albert Einstein's spiritual sensibility is the center of this week's program, "Einstein's God," but I want to highlight a section from our companion show, "Einstein's Ethics," that explores the nature of his humanitarian passions and public ethics, including his views on race. It contains one of my favorite interviews: Krista's conversation with S. James Gates, Jr, a professor of physics whose work focuses on string theory and supersymmetry — things I don't fully comprehend.
Originally, he was not on our radar for this program, but when we heard him speak at a conference on Einstein's legacy, we were impressed not only by his scientific insight, but also by his reflection on Einstein the person. In this excerpt from our program, Gates speaks eloquently and thoughtfully about how he discovered Einstein's passion for the problem of racism, and his "capacity for ethical engagement and his scientific creativity" — something Gates himself embodies. You'll hear the beautiful voice of the legendary opera singer Marian Anderson, whom Einstein invited to stay at his home after she was denied a room at Princeton's best "whites only" hotel.
