|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Behavioral: Monitoring by HIV-trained primary care nurses Behavioral: Community-based directly observed therapy (DOT) Drug: stavudine Drug: lamivudine Drug: efavirenz Drug: zidovudine Drug: didanosine Drug: lopinavir/ritonavir
|Not Applicable
The benefit of antiretroviral therapy is well established but limited to wealthy nations. A predefined, simple sequence of treatment regimens focused on extending the durability of limited treatment options has the best potential to be implemented in resource poor countries. South Africa has 15% of the world's HIV/AIDS patients and a limited number of physicians to treat them (l per 1,600 and less than 5 infectious diseases specialists). HIV patient care in the primary care setting must therefore be delivered by personnel other than doctors. Further, treatment strategies should include entire households to ensure maximum adherence and minimize sharing of drugs.
This study will have two parts. The first part will compare a first-line antiretroviral therapy regimen administered and monitored by primary health care sisters (nurses) with the same regimen administered by doctors. The second part of the study will determine if community-based directly observed therapy (DOT) is significantly superior to continued clinic-based treatment support for patients who have failed first-line therapy, as measured by cumulative virology failure rate. The project will also evaluate the cost and economic impact of a predetermined schedule of antiretroviral therapy; treatment outcomes in terms of morbidity, opportunistic and endemic infections, and mortality; and factors contributing to treatment failure, including toxicity, resistance, compliance, and treatment interruption.
In Part 1, households will be randomly assigned to receive first-line antiretroviral therapy under the monitoring and care of either an HIV-trained medical doctor supported by adherence counselors or an HIV-trained primary health care sister (nurse with training in diagnosis and treatment prescription). Members of the household who are HIV infected will receive stavudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz (nevirapine or nelfinavir may be used for special populations).
Participants who fail first-line antiretroviral therapy in Part 1 of the study will be entered into Part 2 of the study. Participants in Part 2 will receive zidovudine, didanosine, and lopinavir/ritonavir. Participants will be randomly assigned to have their treatment monitored through either a clinic-based treatment support group or through community-based directly observed treatment (DOT). For the DOT arm, a community member will observe therapy for at least one dose a day, five days a week, at the home or work of the participant.
HIV infected children age 3 months to 16 years who live in a participating household will also be included in the study. These children will receive first-line treatment with clinic visits monitored by either the assigned sister (nurse) or doctor along with their households. In Part 2, children will be provided with a second-line treatment regimen with continued daily monitoring of doses in the household.
The study will last 5 years.

|Primary Purpose:
|Official Title:
|Safeguard the Household: A Study of HIV Antiretroviral Therapy Treatment Strategies Appropriate for a Resource Poor Country
|Study Start Date :
|February 2005
|Actual Study Completion Date :
|January 2007
- Cumulative treatment failure rate, determined by comparing a primary health care level first line antiretroviral therapy regimen to a doctor monitored treatment regimen
- 48-week cumulative virology failure rate, determined by comparing community-based directly observed therapy (DOT) by identified and trained community members to continued clinic-based treatment support for subjects who have failed first line therapy
- Overall clinical safety of antiretroviral therapy, as measured by the occurrence of clinical and laboratory Grade 3 and 4 adverse events, between primary health care monitoring arms in adults and children
- CD4+ count, viral load, drug toxicity, adherence, participation in MTCT programs, intercurrent medical conditions, age as factors potentially contributing to cumulative treatment failure in participants age 16 and older
- cumulative treatment failure rate between groups, defined by clinical staging (CDC and WHO classification) prior to initiation of antiretroviral therapy and monitoring arms in adults and children
- cumulative treatment failure rate of second line therapy from time of Phase 1 randomization in adults and children, between the doctor and the primary health care sister-based monitoring arm
- comparison of immune reconstitution in adults and children, using change in CD4+ percent from baseline between the two treatment monitoring models over the duration of the study
- comparison of HIV resistance mutations in adults and children who have demonstrated virologic failure between the doctor and the primary health care sister-based monitoring arms
- comparison of adherence to antiretroviral treatment in Phase 1 in both adults and children as measured by pill count (or weight or volume of drug solution) between the two primary health care monitoring models
- comparison of adherence to antiretroviral treatment in adults as measured by pill count between those randomized to community-based DOT and those randomized to continued clinic-based adherence support
- comparison of HIV disease progression/death in adults and children between the two primary health care monitoring arms
- total and incremental costs of adding the 4 approaches for the provision of antiretrovirals to primary health care services in each study site
- potential costs to the government of provincial and national based scale-up for the provision of antiretroviral therapy in the short, long and medium term and resulting net costs/savings of each approach as a national strategy
- relative cost effectiveness of the introduction of the four alternative models of HAART provision versus no provision, using life-years gained and quality adjusted life-years gained
- household preferences for various aspects of antiretroviral therapy provision program design, including assessing their relationship with adherence
- personnel required for a nurse-based monitoring program, including the training process and implementation

We all know about Netflix. You rent a movie, they mail it to you, you keep it until you watch it (or realize you'll never get around to watching it), mail it back, and then get another movie.
There is (I swear I am not making this up) a sex toy business based on the same idea. It's called Rent-A-Dildo.com
Basically, you pay $19 a month. You pick out whatever sex toy floats your boat. Use it to your heart's (or whatever) content. And then send it back and request another. You can have one sex toy out at a time unless you join their premium service (called the "Golden Dildo Plan", I swear to God!).
The site even says "Each toy is tested for quality and performance before it is added to our collection." Unfortunately, it doesn't show you a picture of the tester ("Hey Pa, see if the cow likes this one!"). If you party hard you can also pay for the "extra batteries" option.
So the sex toy that you've had up in your body parts gets sent to someone else, and you get to use a sex toy that's been up in somebody (or something) else's naughty bits.
It's been roughly 150 years since Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch proved the germ theory of disease pretty conclusively, but hey, I suppose it could still be wrong. Maybe STD's are just from bad humors and demons, like the ancients believe.
But fear not! The site says "We've developed a patent-pending process for thoroughly cleaning each toy before it is sent out to a customer." I mean, they certainly could be doing something pretty advanced (anything less would be bad for business), but details aren't listed. For all you know they could just be soaking them overnight in a kiddie pool filled with water and bleach. Or running them through a dishwasher. Or wiping them off with a paper towel and doing a quick sniff test. Or maybe the "patent-pending process" involves somebody else's fetish.
I wonder if they have a recommendations feature, like Netflix or Amazon?: "Since you previously enjoyed the 'Black Mamba Rabbit' you may want to try the 'Rabid Jungle Rhino'."
Are future product lines going to include rent-a-toothbrush, rent-a-condom, and rent-a-tampon?
The site also features this notice , which Dr. Grumpy doesn't have the nerve to put up here in it's entirety.
Caveat emptor.

Calling All Angels, or at Least the 2012 25-Man Roster!
I think it's safe to assume that, much like Crash Davis, Mike Scioscia believes in opening his presents on Christmas Morning not Christmas Eve, because he sure doesn't reveal so much as a peep about the final 25-man roster or the starting rotation until after the final out of the Angels final Spring Training game. As for Scioscia's feelings on good scotch, the hanging curve ball, the self-indulgence of Susan Sontag novels and any of the rest of the famous movie speech? Well, the evidence is somewhat less conclusive. I'll leave you all to speculate. Regardless, the Angels pitched, hit and fielded their way through their final 2012 Spring Training game this afternoon – finishing with a win, no less! – and Scioscia revealed the details fans have been craving for weeks and, in some case, then some shortly after.
Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2012 Angels…for now…Oh, come on? What kind of Opening Week Angels Roster/Rotation would this be without a question mark or two?:
Angels 2012 Starting Rotation (Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!):
- Jered Weaver
- Dan Haren
- Ervin Santana
- C.J. Wilson
- ?? Hey, remember what I said about those question marks! We don't absolutely need a 5th starter until the 15th. Why announce these things early? See post introduction. 😉 Most likely this will be either Garrett Richards or Jerome Williams. Personally, I liked the look of Williams better than Richards last season. But Williams is recovering from a strain and Richards is no longer a rookie, so who knows?
Relievers (and here we largely pause our yay-age in exchange for some resigned sighing. This could either go really well or…yeah):
- Scott Downs (Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!)
- LaTroy Hawkins (I have hopes that this coulld be a yay)
- Kevin Jepsen (The jury will without its verdict until more evidence is presented)
- Jason Isringhausen (Ummm…)
- Hisanori Takahashi (Er…..)
- Rich Thompson (Probably, mostly Yay!)
- Jordan Walden (I have hopes that this could be a yay too)
Catchers (Yay! They hit above .212!):
- Chris Iannetta
- Bobby Wilson
- …just messin' with ya there. For the first time in a few seasons, Scioscia is starting out with only the traditional two catchers on the 25-man roster.
Infielders (Yay!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!):
- Alexi Amarista (Good for you kid! You had a heck of a Spring Training!)
- Erick Aybar
- Alberto Callaspo
- Maicer Izturis
- Howie Kendrick
- Kendrys Morales (Hey, infielder is what the article I read said, but we all know it's going to be a looooooong time before Kendrys does any fielding if, in fact, he does do any fielding this season. This is our DH and a damned fine one at that. Yaaaaaaay!!!)
- Albert Pujols (You know, what's his name. The new guy. I've heard he can hit and field a little. 😉 )
- Mark Trumbo
Outfielders (Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!):
- Bobby Abreu (Allegedly. At least, outfielder is what the article I read said but, ugh. I saw him play left last night and, I love you Bobby, but oh. Hell. No.
- Peter Bourjos
- Torii Hunter
- Vernon Wells

Successfully passing an important test can be a time consuming and monotonous process. Many hours of studying exam questions to pass a test are often needed to achieve a passing score. However, there is an effective method of creating your own practice exam that can greatly increase your chances of success. After studying a particular topic for some time you become familiar enough with it to create your own practice test and in turn ensure you retain important information when you encounter the final CAT-060 exam questions. If someone dumps all of the potential exam questions that they possibly can onto paper then you can create an effective practice exam for yourself. Taking your own practice test can provide the test answers before you even encounter it. Having the exam answers written down will ensure success later on. Converting the exam questions and CAT-060 exam answers you have written into a PDF format can also benefit you if taking the test digitally. Braindumps, the act in which someone dumps all of the knowledge they have on a subject onto paper or in a CAT-060 PDF file, can be a great way to start to create your CAT-060 practice test.
One of the most common techniques to create a practice test involves writing down as much of the subject content that you possibly can. Using braindumps, which is when someone dumps all of the information known on a topic onto a piece of paper, you can easily memorize possible CAT-060 test answers. The simple act of writing will help you remember CAT-060 exam questions, but the real purpose of the exercise is to create your own practice exam. You may not know the actual exam questions that will be on the test, but a practice test will maximize the chances of success. The practice exam you create allows you formulate the exam answers to the questions that you created yourself. When writing down the test CAT-060 answers to the exam questions in your practice test you will be better able to remember and retain the information. If someone CAT-060 dumps the entire content that they can remember onto a piece of paper, or even a PDF file, then you will have a variety of test answers at your disposal.
Once you have all of the information that could be on your test written down, or in PDF format, the next step is develop possible exam questions based on that data. Multiple choice test questions are a good start as you can develop multiple test answers to them. Writing true or false exam questions are also a common strategy employed in any test you may take. When designing a practice test for yourself remember to use the braindumps method of writing down as much as you can possibly remember. Just by doing this you can discover many CAT-060 exam questions and exam answers within your own writing that you would have never thought of otherwise. A successful practice test should include a variety of test questions from the content in which you are studying. When someone dumps their memorized writing into a digital PDF format it can also be helpful if you know your CAT-060 exam questions will be online or on a computer.

Product Details
Ultimate Reflector™ Custom Folding Auto Shade (EG-03-R) by Intro-Tech®. Color: Silver. 1 Piece. This unique custom-fit thermal shade provides protection against heat and damaging UV rays at the same time. The multi-layered construction can reduce daytime interior temperatures 40°F or more. Folds up flat for easy storage in its leatherette pouch.
- Ultimate Reflector™ Custom Folding Auto Shade does not cover the entire glass area on some vehicles. Windshield pillar post size and angle, rearview mirror shape and size, and additional sensors can prevent some Sunscreens from providing total blackout coverage.
- Return to a cooler parked vehicle, including steering wheel, gearshift and seats
- Reflective mylar and multi-layered heat barrier materials reduce heat buildup by 40°F or more
- When reversed, acts like a thermal blanket. The graphite protective felt, makes it reversible for winter use
- Fits the inside of your specific vehicle's windshield
- Prevents cracked and fading dashboards
- Unfolds and installs in seconds
- Stores in its own leatherette storage bag
- Finished with a non-abrasive velour binding
- Lifetime Warranty
Don't let UV rays and extreme heat degrade your vinyl dashboard and interior. And that goes double if you have leather seats. The damaging effect of solar radiation is two-fold: the UV radiation will attack the plastic and leather directly. Solar heating can raise the interior temperature of a parked vehicle to nearly 180°F, hot enough to burn your hands on the metal seatbelt buckle or steering wheel. Needless to say, that kind of heat can't be good for soft vinyl or leather. It will bake the volatile plasticizers and oils right out of them. They'll turn hard, and eventually crack and split.
Most cars have tinted windows, and you can add tinting to the side and back windows, but federal law (and common sense, we hope) prohibits the windshield from being tinted enough to really keep out the sun. The best way, if you can't park inside all day every day, is a shade to reflect the UV back and to insulate the interior from the heat. The Ultimate Reflector starts with a highly reflective layer of aluminized Mylar, which can reflect both short-wave ultra-violet and long-wave infrared radiation. It's backed up with a unique air-cushion heat barrier layer, and then a 1/4" thick thermal foam board for additional insulation and rigidity. The back of the reflector is then finished off with a fiber layer for strength, and then the final layer of graphite-colored protective felt. The Intro-Tech Automotive Custom Folding Auto Shade is available in a custom-fit for your vehicle there are 2,600 patterns in their computer-based cutting machine.
You can expect the temperature of your interior to remain as much as 40°F or more cooler when the Ultimate Reflector is used. Bonus: Keep your car warmer when parked in winter by reversing the reflector, and installing it felt-side out. It takes only a few seconds to unfold the Reflector and install it on the dash, and just as long to fold it up and put it back in the included leatherette pouch.
Intro-Tech® is based in sunny Southern California, and has been in business since 1991. Their product line includes floor mats, car covers, car sunshades, winter windscreen shields and the innovative PitStop Furniture line of race-inspired furniture. They manufacture all of their products themselves in their Chino facility, using the latest in Computer Aided Design and cutting technology. Because they use only the finest materials to produce their products, they are able to offer a lifetime warranty on everything they sell.

1A song of ascents.
Remember, O LORD, for David
all his hardships;
2How he swore an oath to the LORD,
vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:*
3"I will not enter the house where I live,a
nor lie on the couch where I sleep;
4I will give my eyes no sleep,
my eyelids no rest,
5Till I find a place for the LORD,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
6"We have heard of it in Ephrathah;*
we have found it in the fields of Jaar.*
7Let us enter his dwelling;
let us worship at his footstool."b
8"Arise, LORD, come to your resting place,c
you and your mighty ark.
9Your priests will be clothed with justice;
your devout will shout for joy."
10For the sake of David your servant,
do not reject your anointed.
11The LORD swore an oath to David in truth,
he will never turn back from it:d
"Your own offspringe I will set upon your throne.
12If your sons observe my covenant,
and my decrees I shall teach them,
Their sons, in turn,
shall sit forever on your throne."
13Yes, the LORD has chosen Zion,
desired it for a dwelling:
14"This is my resting place forever;
here I will dwell, for I desire it.
15I will bless Zion with provisions;
its poor I will fill with bread.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation;
its devout shall shout for joy.f
17There I will make a horn sprout for David;*g
I will set a lamp for my anointed.
18His foes I will clothe with shame,
but on him his crown shall shine."
* [Psalm 132] A song for a liturgical ceremony in which the ark, the throne of Israel's God, was carried in procession to the Temple. The singer asks that David's care for the proper housing of the ark be regarded with favor (Ps 132:1–5), and tells how it was brought to Jerusalem (Ps 132:6–10). There follows God's promise of favor to the Davidic dynasty (Ps 132:11–12) and to Zion (Ps 132:13–17). The transfer of the ark to the tent in Jerusalem is described in 2 Sm 6.
* [132:2, 132:5] Mighty One of Jacob: one of the titles of Israel's God, cf. Gn 49:24; Is 49:26; 60:16.
* [132:6] Ephrathah: the homeland of David, cf. Ru 4:11. The fields of Jaar: poetic for Kiriath-jearim, a town west of Jerusalem, where the ark remained for several generations, cf. 1 Sm 7:1–2; 2 Sm 6:2; 1 Chr 13:5–6.
* [132:17] A horn sprout for David: the image of the horn, a symbol of strength, is combined with that of a "sprout," a term used for the Davidic descendant (cf. Jer 23:5; 33:15; Zec 3:8; 6:12). Early Christians referred the latter designation to Christ as son of David (Lk 1:69).
a. [132:3] 2 Sm 7; 1 Chr 28:2.
c. [132:8–10] Ps 2:2; 89:21; 95:11; Nm 10:35; 2 Chr 6:41–42; Sir 24:7.
d. [132:11–14] Ps 68:17; 1 Kgs 8:13; Sir 24:7.
e. [132:11] Ps 110:4; 2 Sm 7:12.

RemObjects Software CEO Steve (Scotty) Scott has blogged this month to detail the status of project about Fire. Late last autumn, Fire was promoted to be an "official company project", then this Spring, it went out to dedicated external testers. Now, while still considered to be in Beta status, it's being made available to every Oxygene and RemObjects C# user as part of their active subscription.
Fire is a Mac native app — and (says Scott) you could also say that Fire is a new IDE for Oxygene and RemObjects C# that runs on Mac OS X.
So why was Fire initiated? Scott says that he had been a Mac user for a long time but always kept a Windows VM around to run Visual Studio. "I really wanted to break out of that and develop in Oxygene (and more recently RemObjects C#) directly on my Macs. On my laptop, a VM is way too much overhead, so I never bothered installing one; but even on the desktop, it's annoying to always have your IDE in a box."
Scott explains that while he (kinda) likes Visual Studio and loves Xcode, he had his own ideas about what would make an IDE great. For version 1.0 he focused on "lightweightness" and the IDE not getting in his way.
With regard to Apple's Swift programming language for Mac and iOS, Scott says he thought about what would be involved in bringing Swift into the Elements language family as a third member.
This has lead to his team pre-announcing "Silver", a project to bring the Swift language to Android/Java and .NET developers (and it will work on Cocoa too, for completeness sake). In essence, any place where you can use Oxygene or RemObjects C# now, you'll be able to use Swift as well. And it will of course work in both Visual Studio and Fire.

Last night, while walking my kids around trick-or-treating, I noticed a new degree of laziness. I suppose nothing should surprise anymore, yet it still does.
Parents driving their kids between houses.
For the record, we were in a decent, safe, low-crime, area. Front doors were roughly 50-100 feet from each other. The streets and sidewalks are in good condition and well-lighted, and the weather was nice.
Although most people and their kids were doing this the old-fashioned way, by walking, I saw several cases where a humungous SUV would pull up in front of a house and disgorge 5-7 kids. The kids would run up to the house, get candy, pile back into the family truckster, which would then drive 50 feet down to the next house and the process would repeat itself. While the kids were out, the parents would sit there revving the engine.
I saw several cars doing this, none of them with handicapped plates and way too many to be explained by a parent or child who was unable to walk. In addition to SUV's I also saw this being done with a few golf carts.
Let's look at this: Childhood obesity and diabetes are approaching insane levels. I have nothing against pigging out on candy here or there (especially on Halloween), but couldn't kids use the exercise of walking? Oh, and besides encouraging our kids to be couch potatoes, let's burn some gas, pollute the Autumn air, and contribute to global warming.
At one point An SUV went by, towing a flatbed trailer with a bunch of unfastened plastic yard chairs on it. Each with 2-3 small kids sitting on it. THAT looks safe! And these same people, when their kid ends up in ER with a serious head injury, will blame society for having Halloween in the first place. Dipshits.
But, since this is a humor blog, a horrifyingly humorous ending.
One cul-de-sac had a block party going on in a driveway. In front of it they'd set up a table with a bunch of bowls of candy, the combined neighborhood trick-or-treat buffet. As kids went up there a lady in a witch costume would tell them to take one thing from each bowl.
We'd brought Snowball along, so he was happily padding away next to me. When Mrs. Witch saw him, she began looking around the table, and said "How cute! I love dogs! Hang on, I have some treats for dogs."
Then she called her husband: "Dave, honey, have you seen the bag I had over here?"
Dave came over: "Um, you mean the little yellow bag?"
Mrs. Witch: "Yeah"
Dave: "I gave it to some kid who came by. Why?'
Mrs. Witch looked horrified, and slowly turned back to me "Uh, I guess we don't have any dog treats anymore, sorry."
So, if your kid found a bag of mini-Milk Bones in his candy sack, it was an accident. Mrs. Witch felt sorry.

The story and the science behind the UNESCO World Heritage Völklingen Ironworks in the Saarland are brought to life at the Ferrodrom Science Centre, which gives visitors of all ages the chance to learn about the four elements of fire, water, earth and air.
Some of the adventures here are on a large scale, including one of the largest fire tornadoes in the world at the entrance to the centre, some are on a tiny one, looking at the surface of iron and steel with a video microscope. But any visit to the Ferrodrom Science Centre is guaranteed to be both exciting and educational. The history of iron is explained through the medium of the four elements and using more than 100 exciting interactive exhibits. This includes a giant wind machine that you can set to as strong a wind speed as you can handle! The UNESCO World Heritage Völklingen Ironworks is a prime example of industrial heritage and technology and has more than 6,000 metres of visitor trails. High-calibre exhibitions, presentations and the Ferrodrom Science Centre itself form a cultural hub for the 21st century on a site covering 600,000 square metres. Mastery of the basic elements of fire, water, earth and air is required to make good iron. Here you have a chance to roll up your sleeves and learn as you go!
In the Ferrodrom's Möller hall, with its focus on the four elements, you discover the roles played by fire, water, earth and air in an ironworks. You get to make your own whirlwinds and watch bubbles and clouds race in a sphere. The ghostly fog screen turns water into fire. The giant ice cube makes water as hard as stone. Can sand become liquid? In the ironworks laboratory the whole family learn about the magical world of magnetism. Amazing experiments unlock the secrets of iron and steel, but that's by no means all there is to discover: you can watch iron rusting using a powerful microscope, see how material is moved around the ironworks with conveyor belts and lifts, have fun on the nine-metre chute and set a huge water wheel in motion. But how does it all work? On the Ferrodrom transport circuit, the mystery can be solved in an entertaining way: highlights include the fire tornado that goes off every ten minutes, a magical block of ice, the bubble machine and a push-button wind tornado.

This morning I had an appearance on the a.m. talk show "Live From the Couch," which airs on WLNY TV55 in New York and Connecticut. Since I was going on to talk about how I got my cool back in the New Jersey suburbs, I thought I should dress like someone who did, in fact get her cool back. I wore an awesome blue and black leather colorblock dress, a black and white striped trench coat and knee high black suede boots. I was rocking it.
After I parked the car, I started strutting my stuff down 57th street as I headed toward the studios at CBS. People nodded at me as I walked by and I thought, "Yuh-huh, they think I'm cool." One guy in particular seemed very impressed with my outfit and actually fell in step behind me and started clearing his throat. Finally he caught up with me and said,
"Excuse me,"
"Yes," I beamed. I figured he wanted my autograph or something.
He pointed to my feet. "You have a trail of toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your shoe."
* * *
I had a great time on "Live from the Couch" and loved chatting with John Elliot, Carolina Bermudez and Lisa Kerney. Lisa and Carolina are both actually pregnant, although you can't tell when they are sitting down because unlike me, they are cute little pregnant women, whereas I was a pregnant house.
The good news was, I did, in fact, remove the toilet paper from the bottom of my shoe before I got on TV so I was able to keep up the ruse that I am a cool suburban mom… until I let the cat out of the bag that I used to wear mom jeans.
We talked a lot about what it was like to live in the suburbs, as though it were another planet, which is not that off base considering some of the scary aliens I have met in the 'burbs. Aliens must have been the theme for the show today because they also had R2D2 and some Storm troopers in the studio.
* * *
"Live from the Couch" was actually my second TV appearance since I started my book tour. The first one was on "Good Day Dallas." I had a great time talking to Lauren Pryzbyl, who was also pregnant (hmm.. wonder why they keep having me interviewed by pregnant women. Are you sensing a theme here??) I gave her some parenting advice about kids and puppies.
Here is a clip of that interview:

Book Store Signings:
Last night I had the pleasure of speaking at BookTowne in Manasquan. Many thanks to the owner, Rita, who is just as lovely as they come, and all the ladies who came to the event! If you are ever in the area, you must stop by BookTowne. It is just the most wonderful little book shop with a huge selection and amazing people to help you find the perfect book to curl up… which hopefully, will be "Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir!"
The next bookstore I'll be at is BookEnds in Ridgewood, New Jersey with the fabulous Jill Smokler (aka Scary Mommy) who also has a new book coming out called "Motherhood Comes Naturally (and other vicious lies)." Bookends is at 221 E. Ridgewood Ave. We will be there at 7:00pm on April 10th and would LOVE you to come hang out with us!!
There are a couple more blogs posting interviews and guest posts about "Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir" Today.
Please check out my friend Jen's blog, "Mommy B Knows Best" where she let me share her space and talk about what it takes to be a perfect parent (hint: I have no idea. I dropped my son three times when he was born. Fortunately babies bounce.)
I also wrote about the birth of my book baby in my newspaper column this week. You can read the latest Lost in Suburbia column, "Rock a Bye Baby," HERE.
And please visit the following blogs to WIN A COPY OF LOST IN SUBURBIA!
Not a Super Mom
Books I Think You Should Read
Good Girl Gone Redneck
All in an Iowa Mom's Day
And don't forget to check out the great products from my book tour sponsors! I'm loving the skin care line from Theraderm, the cute and sassy home office accessories from Office Candy, and the super soft, hotel quality linens from Living Fresh Collection!
And of course, please download or buy a hard copy of my book, "Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir. How I Got Pregnant, Lost Myself, and Got My Cool Back in the New Jersey Suburbs" so I can afford to pay someone to tell me when I have toilet paper on the bottom of my shoe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
When you convert video from a source that uses DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI (for example, a computer to a monitor), you will need to consider the difference between passive and active adapters.
If the source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (also known as DP++), then you can use a passive adapter because the source can perform the conversion. If the source does not support DP++, then you need to use an active converter, which includes additional chips to perform the conversion.
Thunderbolt ports support DP++ natively. To run multiple monitors from the same computer, refer to the Active Adapters section below.
Passive Adapters
Passive adapters are less expensive since they do not need to include additional chips. A quick way to check whether you can use a passive adapter is to see if the DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort source has the DP++ symbol above it. The symbol is a D with a P inside of it, with two + signs to the left, one on top of the other.
Active Adapters
Active adapters use additional chips to make the conversion inside the adapter, regardless of whether the source supports DP++. This means that active adapters are more expensive than passive adapters.
If you want to use multiple monitors with the same computer, you should use an active adapter because some video cards cannot run the maximum number of monitors while using DP++. This is especially true if the computer has more than one DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort connection. Check with your video card manufacturer to confirm which type of adapter you need for the setup that you would like to run.
Note: You should use passive adapters with StarTech.com MST hubs, except when you are converting from DisplayPort to VGA, since that type of conversion requires active adapters. For more information on using adapters with StarTech.com MST hubs, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/mst_hubs_passive_vs_active_adapters.
Surface Dock
If you experience issues when you connect passive video signal adapters to the Surface Dock, Microsoft recommends that you use active video signal converters instead. StarTech.com offers an active video signal converter for DVI monitors (MDP2DVIS) and for HDMI monitors (MDP2HD4KS).
Note: This issue does not apply to the Surface Pro 3 Docking Station.
This device is plug and play. It does not use any drivers, and does not require any setup tasks other than plugging in the source (for example, a computer) and the destination (for example, a monitor).
How to
To arrange extended displays on Windows 10, complete the following.
- Press the Windows key+R, type desk.cpl, and press Enter.
- Under the 'Multiple Displays' selection, select 'Extend Desktop To This Display.'
- Press 'Identify' to determine what number each display is assigned to.
- Drag and drop each display accordingly to the physical layout on your desk.
- Click the Apply button.
To arrange extended displays on macOS, complete the following.
- Navigate to the Apple Menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Arrangement.
- Make sure that the 'Mirror Displays' checkbox is not selected.
- Click on each display to determine what number each display is assigned to.
- Drag and drop each display accordingly to the physical layout on your desk.
Check that the device is not being used in reverse.
The display does not support the resolution set within Display Settings. Adjust the resolution to be the exact resolution and refresh rate recommended by the display manufacturer.
When you troubleshoot issues with a video adapter, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
Video adapter
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video adapter, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video adapter, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video adapter from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video adapter.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, adapter, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
Try the following:
- Check that the monitor's video port works with another source.
- Check that the cables between the source and the destination work with other equipment.
- Check whether the video adapter works with another source and another destination.
The error "Out of Range" normally means that the resolution being output by the computer is not compatible with the display. Try lowering the resolution to see if that helps resolve the issue. You may need to connect another monitor or restart the computer or source to accomplish this.
If a DisplayPort converter with audio is not passing sound from the source to the destination, complete the following:
- Make sure that the DisplayPort connection on the video card is the default audio playback device.
- Make sure that the video card has the DisplayPort audio codec installed. If not, visit the video card manufacturer's website to find out how to update the video card driver.
Common Issues
Using the On-Screen Display menu for the display, enter the Menu system and go into "Picture Mode" then "Aspect ratio" and change from "16:9" to "Just scan" or "1:1 pixel mapping." The wording may vary depending on the manufacturer of the display.

The other day I found myself at a loss in the light bulb aisle of my hardware store. I might as well have been shopping for a carburetor. There were too many options with too many symbols and verbiage that I couldn't decipher (LED, CFL, halogen, lumens, Kelvin, CRI), not to mention all of the various brands (GE, Philips, Cree, EcoSmart -- each with its own packaging lingo).
Since when do you need an electrical engineering degree to buy a light bulb?
I haven't been living under a rock. I am fully aware that the light bulb has been undergoing a serious makeover. If the appearance of the alien corkscrew compact fluorescent (CFL) wasn't a big enough clue, then certainly the stories of people stockpiling incandescent bulbs was.
In fact, January 2014 marks the final stage of the federal government's mandated phaseout of certain general-purpose incandescent bulbs, with the 40-watt and 60-watt bulbs being the last to go. (Hundred- and 75-watt bulbs, although still available on the market, are no longer in production.)
Thomas Edison had a really good run; for 134 years we lived under the golden glow of his incandescent bulb. The problem is that his bulbs are not energy-efficient, hence the birth of new technologies with new nomenclature.
Which leads me back to my quandary: Which of these new bulbs do I buy?
John Strainic, GE's consumer lighting general manager, shed some light on my quest, as did David Brooks, proprietor of Just Bulbs in New York. (For "Harry Potter" fans, it's the Ollivanders of lighting.)
So that you don't find yourself totally in the dark, here is their bulb-buying advice:
Can it dim?
This is the first thing you need to know before you shop. If you have dimmers, then you have to buy bulbs that are compatible. (It will say on the packaging.) Many of the newer bulbs are not; I learned this the hard way.
In an attempt to be more energy-efficient, I went out and bought a bunch of CFLs, only to find that they didn't work. I quickly reverted back to incandescents under the assumption that the new bulbs weren't compatible with my fixtures. Little did I know that I needed dimmer-friendly bulbs.
Making it even more confusing, if you have dimmers that were installed more than a year or so ago, Brooks says, you'll probably need to replace them.
He explains: "So little energy is being used by the new bulbs that old-model dimmers can't even sense that there is a bulb there to dim."
Lumens are the new watts
"Forget about buying bulbs by wattage, which only measures how much energy a light bulb uses," Strainic says. "Instead, shop by lumens, which measures the amount of light that a bulb emits."
Almost all light bulbs now use a minimum wattage -- usually well below 40 watts -- so the measurement is no longer helpful in determining the brightness of a bulb. So when looking at lumens, know this: The higher the lumens, the brighter the light. For example, a 100-watt incandescent has about 1,600 lumens, whereas a 40-watt incandescent has about 450 lumens.
Strainic and others in the lighting industry know this change is going to take time to get used to (it's like switching from Fahrenheit to Celsius), which is why most manufacturers have conversion charts on their packaging and websites. You can also check out the handy charts at www.energystar.gov.
Understand the color spectrum
This is where personal preference and style really come into play. Light bulbs come in a variety of shades, and each of these colors has a temperature rating that is measured in degrees Kelvin. The lower the Kelvin number (between 2,700 and 3,000) the more yellow the light, and the higher the Kelvin (between 5,500 and 6,500), the bluer the light.
White light is usually around 3,500 to 4,100. Brooks suggests buying several bulbs, each with a different Kelvin number, to figure out which best suits your decor and your space.
"Every shade of white is good for a different reason," he says. Modern spaces look better in whiter light, and traditional mahogany-clad rooms look better in a more yellow light. Strainic notes that "daylight," or a whiter, higher Kelvin light, is more popular in the Southern regions of the United States, whereas a more yellow, lower-Kelvin light is preferred in the North.
The right bulb in the right place
Ideally we would all use LEDs throughout the house: They last the longest (15 years or more, according to manufacturers) and give the best results. But they are expensive. Even though they will save you money in the long run, it will be hard for most of us to get past the sticker shock. As an example, Brooks' favorite LED is from a new company called Switch, and it costs a whopping $65 per bulb. (He says their bulbs have the truest color and the truest brightness.)
He said generally LEDs range from $25 to $60 at Just Bulbs. This is not an expense many of us can afford. Instead, use LED bulbs in hard-to-reach fixtures such as those in stairwells and double-story great rooms.
Use a combination of CFLs (lasting seven to 10 years and costing $3.50 to $16) and halogen incandescents (about two years, costing $2.50 to $10) in other rooms based on your needs.
CFLs are great in kitchens, hallways and bathrooms. (As an aside, Brooks sees CFLs as a "bridge technology" that we will use until the price of LEDs comes down.)
If you want the same glow that you are used to from traditional incandescent bulbs, Strainic suggests using halogen incandescents. They are inexpensive and use much less energy than standard bulbs, but they won't last as long as CFLs.
One last piece of advice: Brooks recommends not buying too many of any one bulb because, as he says, "the technology is just changing so quickly."
Just think: in six months someone could have another less expensive, more energy-efficient bright idea.
Light bulb shopping gets complicated

Welcome to your public website hosted by OrgSync! The layout, design, and content of the website can be customized and updated from within your organization's portal. To access the Website Manager, it must first be turned on under Settings -> Group Permissions by your group administrator.
This is the default template. It is meant to be simple so that you can get a website up and running quickly. If you would like to customize this template to match your own site, or do something more creative feel free, please be aware though that some HTML and CSS knowledge is required if you really want to make major changes. Otherwise, content updates and maintenance can be done via the page editor by someone with little to no HTML experience. Your website can always be reset back to its default state (what you see before you) by accessing the settings page and pressing the reset button. Please be aware you lose all data, images, and files in the website builder when you do this.
Customizing This Website for Your Organization
First off, you most likely want to change the name in the header portion of the site where it says "Organization Name". This is actually an image, so if you have a logo or banner you would like to fit there please go to the images tab of the website builder and find the image titled 'logo'. You can simply replace this image using the tools to the right of the name. This image is currently 712 x 52. You can add an image in a different size but it is liable to mess with the displaying of the page.
You can also change the background colors of the header. Access the files/css tab in the website builder and the only file (upon default setup of the site) is a stylesheet. Click edit to the right of stylesheet and a dropdown will show up with the CSS file. The first declaration is for body. The second is #header and the third is #navigation . Each of these controls the header and the navigation portions, respectively. The colors are defined on the lines beginning background, and can be changed simply by changing the six values between the "#" and ";" . There is a color chart on this page with many hex code examples : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors
For a further tutorial on CSS : http://www.w3schools.com/css/
Editing Individual Pages
Pages are maintained in the pages tab of the website builder. There are defaults established for you on creation of your website. This page, the index, has the title of home. The rest should be self explanatory. To edit a current page simply click the edit button and you will access an editor with content editing tools, along with the ability to add OrgSync modules and access the source code directly. There is more information about this in the help links at the bottom of this page and in the sidebar.
You can also create new pages, and the name you give them will be the quick url used for linking purposes. After creation of a page it needs to be added to the navigation so access the header section under the template elements tab and add a link to the navigation using that quick url you just generated.
To edit the images on this page scroll down to Images in your website manager. Name and upload your image. Copy the image Quick URL. Scroll up to Content Pages and click edit next to the content page entitled home. Find and replace http://s3.amazonaws.com/os_extranet_images/35667_original.gif by pasting your image Quick URL. Re-position image placement as necessary.

There is a great reference for the website builder here and another video walkthrough here if you need any more information.

With unprecedented species declines and more than 20,000 of the species assessed on The IUCN Red List threatened with extinction, IUCN and other organizations come together to support the achievement of a global biodiversity target to prevent further species loss.
The partnership – Friends of Target 12 – will guide countries in their efforts to prevent further extinctions of threatened species and improve the conservation status of those disappearing most rapidly. This will help them achieve the so-called 'Target 12' – one of 20 'Aichi Biodiversity Targets' adopted under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Japan in 2010.
"Today, species are disappearing at unprecedented rates," says Jane Smart, Global Director of IUCN's Biodiversity Conservation Group. "However, we know that conservation works. We need to do much more of it and at a much larger scale. We hope that this partnership will provide the concerted action that we urgently need to secure the long term survival of species."
The initiative aims to bring together the knowledge and experience of government institutions, intergovernmental, non-governmental and community-based organizations, academic and professional networks and private sector companies working to conserve species and ensure their sustainable use. It will offer practical advice to countries on how to better protect species, providing a common space for its partners to share and build on their previous conservation successes. Partners include key international conventions on biodiversity such as the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Out of 65,518 species currently assessed by The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, 1,173 are Extinct or Possibly Extinct and 20,219 are threatened. However, past conservation action led by some of the organizations that are now joining the initiative has brought many species back from the brink of extinction. Examples include the Nepal's Greater One-horned Rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis), Brazil's Lear's Macaw (Anodorhynchus leari), the Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx), the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) and the Przewalski's Horse (Equus ferus) in Mongolia.
Some Friends of Target 12 partners have already made specific commitments as part of the initiative and more are soon to be announced.
IUCN, through The IUCN Red List and Species Survival Commission – a science-based network of almost 8,000 volunteer experts – will continue to provide information and analyses on the status, trends and threats to biodiversity in order to catalyze species conservation action.
The global species conservation fund SOS – Save Our Species, initiated by IUCN, Global Environment Facility and the World Bank will help governments and other institutions channel resources towards conserving threatened species.
"Many organizations and institutions around the world are contributing to the protection of species and are supporting the implementation of Target 12," says Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias, CBD Executive Secretary. "This partnership brings them together and enhances the support that we can provide to CBD Parties to finally move from words to implementation of the Aichi biodiversity targets."
The partnership is officially supported by the CBD and currently has 21 partners.

The New York Times covers Daniel Lanois
Daniel Lanois's songs don't sound composed so much as hewn: roughly carved out of some sturdy primordial material like hardwood or, perhaps, rock.
They're not fancy; they still have unpolished spots. They let laconic melodies arise out of a few standard chords, to be repeated with modest variations for the length of a piece. They don't rush, and when they settle into a rhythm it's usually as basic as a march, a waltz or a reggae beat. For Mr. Lanois, musical simplicity leaves open spaces to be filled by wordless emotion.
Skip to next paragraph Enlarge This Image
Billy Tompkins for The New York Times Daniel Lanois playing guitar at the Hiro Ballroom.
Forum: Popular Music At Hiro Ballroom on Tuesday night, he performed material from his new album of instrumentals, "Belladonna" (Anti), which was released Tuesday in Canada and is due July 12 in the United States. Playing guitar, pedal steel guitar or a hand-held keyboard, he led what he called an orchestra: drums, guitar, bass or keyboard, and, for a few songs, a trumpeter and a female singer. It was orchestral enough; the songs welled up to fill the room for a spellbound audience. Behind him, video screens showed angels, open roads, kaleidoscopic patterns and, for one song, live images of the drummer, Brian Blade.
Mr. Lanois has a thriving career as a producer for, among others, U2, Bob Dylan and Peter Gabriel. His own music reflects the contemplative side of what he does with them. There's Celtic music in his open chords and picked patterns; there's spiky blues syncopation and the choppy primitivist rock of his fellow Canadian Neil Young. When Mr. Lanois switches to pedal steel guitar, the songs take on a just a hint of country, but he also makes each hovering chord appear and vanish like an ectoplasm. And when Mr. Lanois set the beat aside now and then, to toy with sustained chords and shards of tunes, there was a trace of Indian music in the ways a melody gradually emerged from a mode.
The pieces developed through texture: the way Mr. Lanois teased out a note or gave it a distorted edge, the way Mr. Blade's cymbals filled out a sustained phrase like wind in a sail, the way a bass line became a counterpoint or an almost unnoticed pulse. One piece, "Oaxaca," was just a melody repeated in unison, each time starting out almost tentative and then turning richly inevitable. The music was pensive but never glum: more awestruck by its own imaginary landscapes. And when Mr. Lanois finally sang - on past albums he has written songs with words - it was to announce, "I feel joy." It's the joy of making music that seems selfless but is unmistakably handmade by a very distinctive hand.

Will my metal product rust?
Our metal products are powder coated and cured in a 400 degree oven. As long as there aren't any blemishes exposing the actual metal, your piece is protected from the elements.
*The Copper option is not made of actual Copper. It will not form a patina.
**The Brushed Steel option is not powder coated. It is literally the raw metal so it will eventually rust and the edges can be sharp. Please handle with care. If you like the raw, rusted look but would like minimal rusting, you can apply a rust neutralizer and then a clear coat to your piece.
Do you ship internationally?
We do ship internationally!
$14.99 USD for orders shipping to Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and The Netherlands.
$50 USD for orders shipping to any other country not listed. Conversion rates may apply.

How to Hang Metal Signs
We have a great guide posted here on how to hang and display your metal signs!
Can you create a custom design for me?
Sometimes! It depends on exactly what you are needing, but we request that you contact our team at email@example.com
Do you have any sales going on right now?
We have sales periodically, but we recommend subscribing to our emails. Sign up by clicking the "Sign Up" tab in the top right corner of your screen. (There's a special treat for those of you who sign up right now). We always mail out our special offers to our e-mail subscribers first!

Since we do not offer any expedited services, we recommend that you order your item at least 8 weeks before you need it. We realize this seems like a long time, but due to the personalization that is required to produce your item plus the shipping time, we recommend that you plan plenty of time in advance!
What shipping services do you use?
We ship our products through three shipping providers, UPS , FedEx and the Post Office.
Depending on your location in the United States, your package can take anywhere from 2-7 days to arrive once the label has been created. When your order ships, we e-mail you tracking information so that you can keep a close on eye on where your order is!

How thick is the steel used on your products?
Our products are cut out of 16 gauge steel. This thickness was chosen to provide you with a solid and quality item, but isn't too heavy to hang on your wall or door!
Brushed Steel products are made using 18 gauge Galvanized.
How long does it take to ship an order?
The general turnaround time for most products is 3-6 weeks. The reason for this amount of time is that each item is unique and customized. We can not produce your item until we receive your order, so we have to build the items as they are ordered!
