Babies and Hunger Games... hmm. my husband asked me, when my son was a newborn, why moms seem to gnaw or nibble on their babies.... I think there IS a connection... just kidding...?

I love your characterization of the owl and raccoon! Who says they can't be besties, right?? (well, except nature and the wild and all, but stuffed animals don't have to follow those rules).
And this might be coming out of left field, but I wanted to let you know that I gave you a little shout-out on my blog. Earlier this week I was exposed to something called the "Liebster blog award" and thought to share it with you. Check out more in this post.

So...I contacted Jetway as the bet hadn't been settled. Then then came back to say Finding Dory was the biggest grossing film of the year then Rouge One then Captain America..!I've contacted Betway> again by chat and they say it's up until the end of the calendar year with the winner declared on 1st January 2017.
Me: It's a bit of a weird question but it's in regards to a specific market and is likely more suited to the traders who put up the odds but I was wondering about what the conditions of the 'Highest Grossing Movie of 2016' bet are? It's under Specials > Movies > Box office. It seems a bit vague. I'm assuming it's 'biggest worldwide gross at the end of 31st December 2016' or something like that but I'm not really sure.
Neil: YEs I can see the market, what is confusing about it?
Me: The conditions of the bet aren't clear as there are none just a sentence of 'Highest Grossing Movie of 2016'. Is it 'highest worldwide gross at the end of 31st December 2016' (which is what I'm assuming it is), just US/Canada (it might be instead) or is it another criteria...I'd like it to be made as clear as possible, please.
Neil: It will be the highest Grossing movie world wide.
Me: ...by 31st December 2016?
Neil: No the 01/01//2017
Me: Alright then, thanks. No idea why there isn't a disclaimer. It's a bit vague.
Neil: The market time frame is listed above the selections.
It's not particularly clear what the conditions of the bet though is it!? Cheeky sort.
Betway> still have odds up for this until the end of the year. Small limits whatever the case.
'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' made $742m after three weeks...
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?pa ... rwars7.htm
...so 'Rogue One' surely is not going to make more than $1.147b between December 14th and the end of the year!?
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/cha ... 016&p=.htm
They've gone with US and Canada!
I went back to them saying the terms and condictions said it was worldwide which contradicts this. Then then said it will be settled this week in a bit of a snotty reply with a general thing about other promotions that they're doing.
Hmmmmmm. Watching this with interest.

FORT HOOD, Texas -- A U.S. Army major allegedly opened fire Thursday on fellow troops in the heart of the giant army base here, killing 12 people and wounding at least 31 in one of the worst incidents of soldier-on-soldier violence in U.S. military history.
The shooting rampage by Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan was halted by a female civilian police officer who shot him, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the top military commander on the base. The woman is expected to recover from wounds sustained in the gun battle, he said.
There's no reason to make a big deal about the details of this horrific act. Killing innocent people is killing; the reasons are just excuses.
There is however reason to applaud the actions of this single individual. While most flee danger, a rare few have the calling from within to confront it - at their own peril. I am in awe. She has my deep respect, and my wishes for a speedy recover.
My thoughts go to all victims and their families.

Board of Foreign Missions (Mennonite Brethren Church of North America)
Board of Foreign Missions of the Mennonite Brethren Church of North America had its beginning in 1885 when that conference elected a "missions committee" to take over the responsibility for, and centralize the gathering of moneys for foreign missions and disburse them according to annual conference resolutions. Prior to this the treasurers of the various congregations reported such funds to the conference. The missions committee consisting of eight or more members had an executive section, made up of the chairman, secretary, and treasurer, which carried on the work. In 1896 the conference sought to facilitate the foreign missions endeavor by electing a "Committee on Foreign Missions," consisting of only five members. In addition to handling funds for foreign missions, this committee was given the responsibility of receiving and examining the candidates applying to the conference for foreign missions service.
When the Mennonite Brethren Conference which had been incorporated in 1900 under the name "The American Brethren Mission Union" had its charter amended in 1909, changing the name to "The Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Church of North America," and extending the scope of its activities, it also provided a more complete constitution which defined and enumerated the duties and powers of the "Board" of Foreign Missions.
The five members of the Board of Foreign Missions were elected for a three-year term by the regular triennial session of the General Mennonite Brethren Conference. After election the new board met for organization, electing a chairman, two assistant chairmen, a recording secretary, and the executive secretary and treasurer. The duties of each member were defined in the constitution.
Since the Board of Foreign Missions was an elected committee of the General Mennonite Brethren Conference vested with the responsibility of looking after its foreign missions enterprise, it was directly responsible to the conference itself. At the triennial meeting, the board presented a complete report of the foreign missions activities, policies and principles pursued, standing of the treasury, extent of the fields, number and status of the missionaries, budgets and recommendations to the conference for consideration and action. Each of the district conferences received an annual report from the Board of Foreign Missions. Although the district conference delegates had the right to inquire for information as well as to offer suggestions, they were not vested with the right to pass resolutions directly to the board. These came by way of resolutions to the general conference.
Historically and in view of the importance placed upon the evangelization of the heathen, the conference rather consistently chose members for the Board of Foreign Missions from among the most outstanding leaders of the constituency, as for example Cornelius P. Wedel, Abraham Schellenberg, Heinrich Voth, N. N. Hiebert, H. S. Voth, J. H. Pankratz, H. W. Lohrenz, and others.
The areas of the board's work were three as given below.
(a) Geographic. Geographically the Gospel work entrusted by the Saviour, Jesus Christ, to the Mennonite Brethren Conference was through the direction of its Board of Foreign Missions, and through the services of its missionaries and its national workers carried to the Comanche Indians and Mexicans of Oklahoma, to Hyderabad State of India, to Fukien, Kansu and Shensi provinces of China, to the Belgian Congo of Africa, to the Chaco Indians of Paraguay, to the Valle and Choco departments of Colombia, and to the Parana State of Brazil.
(b) Divisional. Divisionally the work was done in four areas: (1) evangelization in the villages and the establishment and nurture of indigenous churches; (2) education, in operating elementary, middle, secondary, and Bible schools for the nationals; (3) medical service, by operating hospitals, clinics, and dispensaries; (4) publication, by supplying Christian literature, school books, Sunday-school materials, music, and periodicals in the native languages.
(c) Functional. Functionally the board labored in the following areas: promoting the spiritual importance and interest in foreign missions within the conference; fostering sacrificial giving for missions; appealing for, selecting, accepting, processing, and sending out of missionaries; keeping in constant contact, encouraging, and maintaining from mission funds the missionary enterprises and the missionaries whether in active service or retired; providing principles, policies, and methods for the missions endeavor; and providing printed material on its foreign missions for church papers, and in the form of reports, maps, pamphlets, and books.

I already declared my love for the SkinCeutials skincare range but I must take a quick interlude to tell you that I took a break from it to try out a well known range – Dr Andrew Weil (Face lotion and face cream) which is for sensitive skin and the very famous which is an anti aging serum.
I believe the serum is really aimed at people in their late 30s+ so I am too young for it, but nevertheless…I used this range for about 2 weeks but it really disagreed with my skin. I found it wasn't hydrating enough (that's with the serum AND cream) and left me with some red lumps on my skin.
However – I think the range is well worth reviewing (especially Plantscription which has so many positive reviews) so I am passing this on to my aunt to test and I am going to photograph her progress to, perhaps over a period of 2 months and report back to you. Also I think the range may suit her skin better since she is in the better age group for the serum.
My skincare routine, at the very moment in time, has changed again – I will report back to you and tell you what it consists of and WHY very soon!
*The range was sent by PR for consideration.

When you move into a new house and get unpacked, you'll begin to make design updates and renovations to make that house your home. This includes starting a garden or redesigning a landscape. If the previous owners didn't have a green thumb you may be starting from scratch. Or, you may just need to do some spring maintenance. If you can, consider splitting and transplanting your favorite flowers from your old home to your new one.
Before you get started with spring lawn care, make sure you have all the right tools, including walk-behind or riding mower parts, landscaping accessories and lawn equipment such as tiller parts to help you start your garden. Then, follow the tips below to design a unique landscape for your family.
The first part of spring lawn care is testing the lawn to determine what type of fertilizer you need. If you have bare patches, find out what type of grass you have and reseed the lawn. Then, give your lawn water and time to regrow before mowing. The level of water should be enough that it is saturated without flooding. If it's overgrown, set your mower on its cut highest setting and take a slow pass over the lawn. Then lower the height and take a second pass. Make sure your lawn mower blades are sharp whether you're mowing a freshly grown lawn or overgrown mess. This helps ensure healthy regrowth.
Next, break out the string trimmer and cut back weeks and overgrown grass on the edges of your flower beds. If the previous owner had shrubs, use hedge trimmers to shape and prune them. You can also choose to dig up or transplant bushes if they're not your style. Whether you're starting them from scratch, or just touching up what the previous homeowner's did, cleaning up the lawn is the first step to starting a garden at your new home.
Dig out any plants you don't like, and thoroughly weed existing beds. (If you just planted new grass, don't use and herbicides as they will choke out the new growth). If the plants are in good condition, offer them to friends or neighbors - or even your local garden club. Use your garden tiller to prepare new flower beds or turnover old ones if you're planning to select new plants. Add compost to the beds and till them again, deeper this time to work the nutrients into the soil and water the beds. After you've added your new plants, spread mulch over the beds to keep them warm and keep weeds out. The natural breakdown of the mulch will also add nutrients to the soil. It will take several years to build up a flourishing garden at your new home, but you can use this first spring to design a landscape.
How you design your landscape will depend on the space you have to work with, existing plants and trees, and your personal preferences. However, there are a few ideas you may want to know about as you start a garden at a new home.
Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and your new garden won't be either. Take your time creating a beautiful landscape that will flourish with each coming spring. Plant bulbs in the fall, and be sure to spread fertilizer and mow regularly and properly. If it's your first time as a homeowner, make sure you have all the lawn care parts and equipment you need for upkeep each season. And when you need tiller parts, mower parts or other power equipment replacements, use the Part Finder to get original manufacturer parts that will work best with your machine.

Barnstable Superior Court Judge Robert Kane has allowed motions by Cape Wind and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to dismiss four of five counts that had been filed by the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound and the town of Barnstable against the proposed Cape Wind offshore wind project.
'The court rejected the opponents' primary argument and agreed that Massachusetts agency review was proper,' says Cape Wind president Jim Gordon. 'We look forward to providing the public with the benefits of Cape Wind, including cleaner air, more stable energy prices, new jobs and greater energy independence, as soon as possible.'
On the remaining count, Kane ruled that the plaintiffs could not yet challenge it in court because the matter was still pending before a state agency.
The lead federal permitting agency, the Minerals Management Service (MMS), is expected to issue a final environmental impact statement (EIS) on Cape Wind later this year, to be followed within 30 days by a record of decision.

Jennifer Nettles and John Glosson Perform 'When You Say You Love Me' on First Live 'Duets' Episode
"We're simultaneously thrilled and terrified," said Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles just before taking the stage with hopeful John Glosson. The two big-voiced singers were given the challenge of kicking off the first live episode of 'Duets' with a performance of the 'When You Say You Love Me' by Josh Groban. With his impressive second place showing during last week's Movie Night episode, how did their rendition of the beautiful ballad measure up?
"I'm not shocked you did amazing just then," said a newly-blonde Kelly Clarkson. "It was beautiful."
Likewise, celebrity mentor Robin Thicke had nothing but critical praise for the two Georgia natives. The soul singer even poked fun at Nettles' recent pregnancy announcement saying, "Legally, that's not a duet anymore," a comment directed toward the mother-to-be. "There was a little bit of breaking the rules there," joked Thicke.
Remaining mentor John Legend did offer Glosson a little criticism, saying, "As a matter of taste, it felt a little bit syrupy," speaking about the bombastic ballad song choice. "Your voice sounded magnificent," added Legend.
When it comes to the added stress of the live aspect of the show, the public voting and his frontrunner position throughout the series, Glosson remains confident in his intuition.
"I've used my gut feeling from day one," said the singer. "I'm gonna keep doing it that way."
Unlike in the first five weeks of the competition, a scoreboard was not used to assess the young hopeful's rankings. Beginning this week, the viewing audience is encouraged to call the toll-free number to vote for their favorites. The contestant with the least amount of votes will be eliminated at the beginning of next week's episode.
Call 1-855-962-5004 to vote for Nettles and Glosson.

General Mills (NYSE:GIS) reaffirmed its fiscal 2013 earnings guidance on Tuesday and promised to deliver more cash to shareholders in 2014 through buyback programs and dividends.
Continue Reading Below
For the fiscal year ending May 26, the Minneapolis-based maker of consumer foods and cereals sees earnings in the range of $2.65 to $2.67 a share excluding one-time items, below average analyst estimates of $2.68, according to a Thomson Reuters poll.
General Mills, which had raised the fiscal 2013 EPS view in December, said it anticipates stronger EPS growth in its "immediate future," with improvements in the high single digits in 2014.
"We are completing a two-year period of significant investment that strengthened our business in our core U.S. market and meaningfully expanded our base in international markets," said General Mills CEO Ken Powell. "Our focus now is on integrating the new operations and executing well across the entire company."
The producer of Cheerios, Green Giant products, Toaster Strudels and Pizza Rolls, which has recorded average operating cash flow after capital investment of $1.3 billion a year since 2008, says it will use the excess funds on increased repurchase activity and higher dividends. The buybacks are expected to reduce the number of its diluted shares outstanding by 2% in 2014.
Meanwhile, General Mills said it will focus on expanding its presence in emerging markets, with plans to grow non-U.S. revenues beyond $5 billion in the current fiscal year.
Helping that target have been several acquisitions, including buying half of French yogurt maker Yoplait in 2011, which has already helped expand its sales overseas, as well as its nearly $1 billion purchase last May of Yoki Alimentos in Brazil.
While shares of General Mills traded virtually flat on Tuesday, they have grown more than 17% in the last 12 months.

The Yale men's and women's tennis teams gathered together with alumni and family to celebrate the completion of another tennis season at the annual Yale Tennis Association banquet at the Yale Club Friday, May 1. Doug Robson '87, a freelance journalist based in San Francisco, Calif. who is the lead tennis writer for the USA Today, was the keynote speaker for the event.
The men's tennis assistant coach Christian Appleman summarized the men's season and recognized the team for all of its accomplishments before handing the microphone over to outgoing senior captain Jeff Dawson. Dawson introduced his fellow teammates and thanked all those who supported the men's tennis team.
For the women, head coach Danielle Lund McNamara provided a synopsis of the season and recognized the team's accomplishments. McNamara also talked about goals for next season and announced the exciting news that Yale was selected to host the ITA National Indoor Championships at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center November 5-8, 2009.
The second of three individual "grand slam"-like major tournaments, the ITA National Indoor Championships has a draw size of 32 singles players and 16 doubles teams for both men and women. Because Yale will host the tournament, both the men's and women's teams will receive two automatic singles bids and one automatic doubles bid.
After speaking, McNamara introduced Yale's outgoing two-year captain senior Lilian Nguyen. Nguyen thanked all those who supported the women's tennis program and introduced her teammates.
Robson capped the night with the keynote address. A former Yale men's tennis player, Robson ventured into journalism and earned an M.S. in Journalism at Columbia University after graduating from Yale with a B.A. in history. Robson is the lead tennis writer for USA Today and his work has also appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Miami Herald, the San Jose Mercury News, Reuters and Tennis Magazine. Robson, who has earned numerous awards for his journalism work, told anecdotes while informing the audience about his career in journalism.

Thursday morning, the campus will receive the first "Back to Campus" issue in the history of the Bachelor. The staff came back a little over a week early to put out this product, and we are very proud of it. We hope you enjoy reading it.
There is something that is different about this issue, other than just being the first "Back to Campus" issue and being 32 pages! Besides the on-campus distribution, The Bachelor will be inserted into all 10,000 copies of the Crawfordsville Journal Review.
If you've read the Bachelor before, you would notice few times that we would have advertising. This time we have lots of advertising. The advertisements are beneficial to you. We hope you take advantage of them, because they are also helping to continue good relations with the community in general – and in turn you can get some bargains.
The Bachelor hopes to keep this good relationship and continue to build upon it. If all goes well, then there will be a continuing product of this caliber
For those interested in joining our crew, The Bachelor will host a callout meeting at 8 p.m., August 31. Our next regular issue of the Bachelor will be published Sept. 8 and continue weekly.
Hopefully this has been a good first impression for all of you with the new look of the Bachelor and also the nice savings granted by some of the ads. Welcome back to Wabash and enjoy the Bachelor.
Barre is the Editor of the Bachelor.

Meatless Monday: grilled eggplant/aubergine with feta, golden raisins and mint
Time for another Meatless Monday dish. Aubergine/eggplant is one of my favourite vegetables and while I'm looking forward to our own aubergine crop soon, at the moment I must have do with imported aubergines. Luckily there are nice ones around just now (I dislike those huge sponge-like bulbous ones that you get during winter and early spring), so I cook something with aubergines/eggplants every week or two.
Aubergines/Eggplants from Nami-Nami garden, September 2010
This lovely vegetarian dish is good as it is, but it could also be served as a side dish to some grilled chicken, fish or meat.
Other aubergine/eggplant recipes @ Nami-Nami:
Nasu dengaku or miso-glazed aubergine
Ottolenghi's roasted aubergine with saffron yoghurt
A lovely aubergine curry with tomatoes, coriander and nigella seeds
Armenian Aubergine Stew
Brinjal Masala (deep-fried aubergines)
Hob-to-table moussaka
Grilled aubergine with feta, golden raisins and mint
(Meatless Monday)
Adapted from a recipe on Swedish Arla-site
Serves 4
2 medium-sized aubergines/eggplants (not too bulbous)
3-4 Tbsp oil
salt and black pepper
small bunch of mint
4 Tbsp golden raisins
4 Tbsp roasted pinenuts
150-200 g Greek feta cheese, crumbled or cubed
Rinse the eggplants and cut into 5 mm (that's half a centimetre or about 1/4th of an inch). Sprinkle some salt and place in a colander to drain (contrary to a widespread misconception, this is NOT done to get rid of any bitterness - modern eggplant varieties simply are not bitter. However, by draining some of the eggplant juices off beforehand, they immerse less oil when frying later). Put aside for about 20-30 minutes.
Pat the aubergine slices dry, then brush with oil on both sides.
Heat a heavy frying pan until very hot, then reduce heat to medium-high and fry eggplant/aubergine slices until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Season with salt and pepper and place on a serving tray.
Sprinkle with crumbled feta, chopped mint leaves, golden raisins and roasted pinenuts.

Patrick talks about his first time
A'ight Droid users and those not yet subscribed to our Magazine, just uploaded a free sample to Currents about Patrick Brady's first time. Well, several firsts, but still…
Read the sample here with Currents, get the app for your iOS or Droid device, and you can read content like this ad free.
It's moments like that first rolled tubular that get me to thinking. Some firsts, you don't really want to repeat. You don't want to be a member of the club and knowing the secret handshake makes you an initiate into something that just shouldn't be a brotherhood.

Student or Learner
Hi guys,
I wondered if you guys could check over my reflective essay on cinematgraphy to make sure the grammar and spelling is at a high standard. I am a first yeat University student.
Thank you
Graham :)
Cinematography lectures and workshops have influenced my vision and technique duringpre-production and filming. The way I thought about the appearance of how ascene should look in regards to composition and lighting, was that as long asthe characters were placed within the frame and they were well lit, then thestory would do the rest. I soon found out that this could be no further from the truth.
In the firstweek of lectures we looked at composition and the importance of the rule ofthirds, where the characters stand and in which direction they move. This hassuch a bearing on how we perceive them and the story. A well composited shotcan either destroy a scene or captivate the audience. To be able to give ascene meaning and depth is what a love about cinematography. It effects how thestory is interpreted, both cognitively and emotionally. I love the fact you canalter the atmosphere of a scene just by changing the lens of the camera or byaltering the lighting slightly.
Duringpre-production, for the filming of the scene casino, I was able to use myexperience from lectures to complete a script analysis and storyboard firstdraft. This was one of the most enjoyable tasks, to be able to interpret ascripts meaning and then to create ideas on how to convey that throughcomposition and lighting was both enjoyable and rewarding. Every camera anglechange or movement has to have a meaning and add value to the story. Makingsure that your chosen shot hammers home the theme of the scene and also emphasizesthe characters emotions is paramount.
"Movies arestories. We are storytellers." – Mark Carey
Duringfilming I was able to put all this knowledge into practice by collaboratingwith the director and producer to make sure that we did the script justice.Communication is a massive factor while on set, making sure that the sparks andgaffer know exactly what you want from them can be challenging so you have tobe diplomatic. My attitude towards lighting has changed dramatically and I showedthat during filming. I was able to set up the 3 light set up and change the setup when required. After we shot the first scene we had to change the lightingset up, while making sure the key light was coming from the same direction. Wehad a problem with the backlight, as it was burning out in shot. To rectifythis I brought in some flags and stood the light as far away from the flag aspossible. This softened the intensity and we were able to continue filming. Because of my knowledge I was able to help outthe director and guide him through shots, while explaining why I was choosing aparticular angle or type of lighting. The director I worked with wasknowledgeable and knew exactly what he wanted but wasn't sure how to go about gettinghis message to the audience.
After theeditors had put our scene together, I sat down and watched it to see if therewere any improvements that could be made. Overall I am happy with the outcomeof the film, and it does stand up to my expectations, however I think there isone or two improvement to be made. Some of the cuts we did we're unnecessaryand don't really serve any purpose apart from being aestheticallypleasing. So in future I will try andshoot a scene with as few shots as possible and make sure any cuts are there toadd depth or meaning to the story and not just for show.
So toconclude, I have used my experience gained from research and workshops to tella story through the use of lighting and composition. I have learned the valueof visual storytelling and that simplicity does not equal stupidity. I havepassed on my knowledge to other crew members and explained the importance ofhow a scene looks. I hope to keep on learning about the art of cinematographythrough independent research and university workshops. I have also beennetworking in order to fine tune my skill by taking on roles outside of university.

International Cookware
Williams-Sonoma has all of the international cookware you need to turn your kitchen into a festival of nations. For the professional chef, a collection of international cookware can help you attract more guests with unique and authentic regional dishes. It can also help you create new fusion items to make a name for yourself in the local culinary scene. International cookware is also great for families who want to introduce worldliness to the dinner table. If you have a foreign exchange student visiting, impress them with a dish made from a piece of cookware from their homeland.
Create authentic cuisine from Morocco using a tagine. A tagine is a vessel made of earthenware ceramic. The material is truly versatile, as you can put it directly in the oven or on the burner. You can also create tagine dishes in the microwave or over an open flame, sort of like a Dutch oven. A tagine works by catching the steam from the food, and then trapping it in the cooking device, making a pot roast, vegetables or slow-cooked chicken even better.
A wok is a staple of Asian cooking, allowing you to heat oil at a high temperature, and then safely stir and toss food in it without worrying about splatter. Find a stainless-steel wok that is easy to clean or a cast-iron wok that retains the flavors of all your favorite fried rice and noodle dishes through the years. Purchase a nonstick wok if you want to start cooking healthier meals for your family that require fewer fats. Make sure to also pick up a wok lid to let foods cook slowly or to reduce the amount of water present in a dish.
Another popular Asian method of cooking is dim sum, but most kitchens do not have the proper cookware sets to make it properly. All you need for delectable dumplings is a bamboo steamer basket. Place this basket on top of a wok filled with water, and then moist dumplings, sticky rice and melt-in-your mouth meats.
Spain is arguably the culinary hub of the world. Its lush farmland and vast coast make its produce, beef and seafood a step above every other country. Make the famous Spanish dish of paella in a specialized pan. The low and shallow design of paella pans evaporate water quickly, allowing for the best rice possible. A cast-iron paella pan retains heat, giving an even cook to all food within it. You can even take your paella pan and place it on the table on top of a special holder for an authentic presentation.
If your family is over pancakes for Saturday breakfast, give them the French treat of crepes instead. Specialized crepe pans feature a light construction and sloped edges that allow you to either flip or turn the crepes with ease. Rivets on the handle of the pan let you swirl the dough around, creating a wider overall surface to stuff with fruits, chocolate or even ham and cheese.
Enjoy authentic curry dishes when you use a Balti dish. These cast-iron pans are a staple in Indian and Pakistani cooking, with rounded sides that let you toss, turn and stir ingredients without them spilling. A flat base makes cooking on top of the stove the optimal way to make any curry dish.
You can even treat your family to a Tex-Mex-inspired feast of fajitas with a set made just for the dish. Cook meat on the cast-iron pan, add peppers and onions, and then transfer the piping hot ingredients directly to the table by laying it down on the wood trivet. Also, use the cast-iron pan to heat up tortillas for an unforgettable meal.

Ljdicarlo needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
2 winners were selected from 61 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Perky Prints
The idea for the t-shirt and the design are my wife's and her friend's. These two mothers of young children have very funny personalities and they feel that it's perfectly fine for a mother to have a cocktail every evening or take some medication to help get through and/or relax at the end of the day. These two mothers pride themselves on being in shape and looking good, dressing in stylish clothes and not being the typical minivan driving soccer moms.
Women, ages 25 - 45 that have children, a good sense of humor and want to wear a stylish t-shirt with a funny saying. The target audience should have similar traits as my wife's. The goal is to sell these t-shirts in boutique stores in the city, as well as online.
Design an attractive, funny, stylish graphic with the slogan, "Chemical Cupcake." The final artwork needs to be in a format that can be silk screened onto a t-shirt. The colors in the design should appeal to women, similar to the one's I have provided in the uploaded sketch. I would like original artwork for this design - no stock photos. Along with the slogan, "Chemical Cupcake," the design should include a cupcake with colored sprinkles. The multi-colored sprinkles on the cupcake represent different types of pills such as antidepressants, etc. I really like the idea of the pills, but I just don't want them to be too obvious because I don't want to scare people away from buying the shirt.

A reliable toilet is a necessity for any boater. With features such as a full-sized joker valve to avoid clogging, and separation of intake and discharge water, Raritan's SeaEra toilet offers owners hassle-free performance. In support of its product quality, Raritan now offers a two-year warranty on the SeaEra toilet.
This economical electric macerating toilet, available in 12, 24 and 32V DC or 120/240V AC, is as practical as it is dependable. Each unit is 100 percent water tested to ensure proper function. The SeaEra includes durable features such as a heavy-duty marine push button and an inlet pump that can be run dry without damage.
A strong discharge pump can function easily with a vented loop as high as 6 feet. Eliminating the need for an adapter, the SeaEra's new built-in discharge fitting can accept either 1-1/2" or 1" lines.
Installation is simple and flexible, as the SeaEra can be mounted above or below the waterline. The inlet pump can lift water from up to 4' below the toilet. Using the included interchangeable 3/4" hose barb fittings, water can be routed from either side of the inlet pump. With a bowl that rotates 90? for mounting, Raritan's SeaEra toilet fits into confined spaces.
The SeaEra toilet is available as a conversion kit or with a white bowl in either household-style or marine-size. Boaters can choose from several models.
The Integral Intake Model offers quick and easy raw water flush installation. It includes an in-line strainer to reduce odors caused by seawater particles and helps protect marine equipment.
The Remote Intake Pump Model offers flexible installation for long runs and provides easier access to the intake pump. This model reduces noise levels wonderfully.
Low power consumption makes the Freshwater Solenoid Model, which includes a vacuum breaker, especially economical. Quiet operation is assured with its Whisper Flush design. This SeaEra toilet connects to a vessel's existing pressurized system, making installation a breeze. Compared to raw water models, it requires less maintenance and eliminates more odors.
Compact and convenient, the SeaEra toilet requires only a small footprint. Dimensions of the household-style model are a 19-3/4" bowl depth, 14-3/8" bowl width and 14-7/8" height. The marine-size SeaEra has a 16-3/4" bowl depth, 13" bowl width and 14-1/2" height.
Raritan's SeaEra toilets have an approximate shipping weight of 38-40 lbs. and retail for a starting price of $660. For more information, visit www.raritaneng.com.

Group B streptococcal septicemia is a severe bacterial infection that affects
See also:
Alternative Names
Group B strep; GBS
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Septicemia is an infection in the bloodstream that may travel to different body organs. Group B streptococcal septicemia is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus agalactiae, which is commonly called "group B strep" or GBS. A newborn with septicemia is very sick.
GBS is commonly found in adults and older children, where it does not usually cause infection. There are two ways in which it may be passed to a newborn baby:
- The infant can become infected as he or she passes through the birth canal. In this case, babies become ill between birth and 6 days of life (most often in the first 24 hours). This is called "early-onset" GBS disease.
- The infant may also become infected after delivery by coming into contact with people who carry the GBS germ. In this case symptoms appear later, when the baby is 7 days to 3 months or more old. This is called "late-onset" GBS disease.
GBS now occurs less often, because now there are methods to screen and treat pregnant women at risk.
The following increase an infant's risk for group B streptococcal septicemia:
- Being born more than 3 weeks before the due date (prematurity), especially if the mother goes into labor early (preterm labor)
- Mother who has already given birth to a baby with GBS sepsis
Mother who has a fever (over 100.4 degrees F) during labor
Mother who has group B streptococcus in her gastrointestinal, reproductive, or urinary tract
Rupture of membranes ("water breaks") more than 18 hours before the baby is delivered
Use of intrauterine fetal monitoring ("scalp lead") during labor
- Anxious or stressed appearance
- Blue appearance (cyanosis)
- Breathing difficulties such as:
- Flaring of the nostrils
- Grunting noises
- Rapid breathing
- Short periods without breathing
- Irregular or abnormal heart rate – may be fast or very slow
- Lethargy
- Pale appearance (pallor) with cold skin
- Poor feeding
- Unstable body temperature (low or high)
Signs and tests
To diagnose GBS septicemia, GBS bacteria must be found in a sample of blood (blood culture) taken from a sick newborn.
Other tests that may be done include:
- Blood clotting tests – prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT)
- Blood gases (to see if the baby needs help with breathing)
- Complete blood count
- CSF culture (to check for meningitis)
- Urine culture
- X-ray of the chest
Treatment may involve one or more of the following:
- Antibiotics given through a vein
- Breathing help (respiratory support)
- Fluids given through a vein
- Medicines to reverse shock
- Medicines or procedures to correct blood clotting problems
- Oxygen therapy
A therapy called
Expectations (prognosis)
This disease can be life threatening without prompt treatment.
Possible complications include:
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) — a serious disorder in which the proteins that control blood clotting are abnormally active
- Hypoglycemia — low blood sugar
- Meningitis — swelling (inflammation) of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord caused by infection
- Respiratory failure — breathing stops
Calling your health care provider
This disease is usually diagnosed shortly after birth, often while the baby is still in the hospital.
However, if you have a newborn at home who shows symptoms of this condition, seek immediate emergency medical help or call the local emergency number (such as 911).
Parents should watch for symptoms in their baby's first 6 weeks. The early stages of this disease can produce symptoms that are hard to spot.
To help reduce the risk of Group B streptococcal septicemia, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that pregnant women get tested for group B streptococcus at 35 – 37 weeks into their pregnancy. If the bacteria are detected, women are given antibiotics through a vein during labor. If the mother goes into premature labor before 35 weeks, she should be tested for GBS.
Newborns who are at high risk are tested for GBS infection. They may receive antibiotics through a vein during the first 48 hours of life until blood culture results are available.
In all cases, proper hand washing by nursery caretakers, visitors, and parents can help prevent the spread of the bacteria after the infant is born.
An early diagnosis can help decrease the risk of some complications.
