Comment posted Council website not currently accepting planning objections by Mel Gibson.
The vernacular architecture in Argyll tends towards white or drab grey single storey boxes (largely of the McLeod variety in that area I believe), with some individual 'flair' such as the ubiquitous conservatory.
There is rarely anything being built that in 50 years time people will look at and say wow.
If someone has the cash and the imagination to build a faux castle, in a style that really will not spoil that particular landscape and amongst a complete mishmosh of house styles and types, then why the shrill objections?
No jealousy from me, I say good on them.
And as for Mr Wakeham's PhD in Pedantry, the application is on the website with all the detail anyone needs.
And I think Mr Kennedy has mistaken me for a film actor.
Mel Gibson also commented
- Planning applications are always a difficult and sensitive subject, having been at the sharp end from both sides in the past. There will always be someone who disagrees with another person's idea of a dream home, and as we well know there are plenty of people who object to applications because they got there first and want to keep the area as they found it.
I agree with you Robert that the damage from this proposal shouldn't be a problem (and I apologise for my snippy pedant comments, the Rose is heady stuff in this heat) and might actually enhance the area, setting off Glenmore house and whatever happens to the steading.
While I wouldn't stoop so low as to criticise Mr Kennedy's taste in house design, it does beg the question what is considered acceptable and what isn't.
Of course, we don't want to return to the days of the blackhouse, so we should embrace house design, whether traditional, modern or '70′s dream trip with a twist. - Pedant.
And I said that Argyll was a mishmash of house styles and types.
- Would the tone of Mr Kennedy's objection suggest, perhaps, that he would be able to see the development from his own house at er….. the head of Loch Melfort?
Just a thought.
Recent comments by Mel Gibson
- Democratic deficit as Government ignores Information Commission ruling
So, an outer flotation ring to support the seal net, with an outsize sinker tube to maintain rigidity. Any tidal movement will affect both inner and outer net. Some contact isn't a problem, provided the outer net is robust enough to stop a seal (I believe one can get submarine netting these days, so seal proof material ought to be available).
Then, make the outer net of a suitable mesh size to deter large predators such as seals, but not trap smaller diving birds.
Finally, the outer net can be cleaned using the same methods that you use for cage nets surely?
Until the industry addresses this, even if just for PR reasons, you will always incur the wrath of the antis and be a soft target. - Democratic deficit as Government ignores Information Commission ruling
It appears to be technically possible to secure the nets that contain the salmon on such site, so perhaps a similar mechanism could be used for a seal barrier? - Democratic deficit as Government ignores Information Commission ruling
Some discrepancy between your figures Mark, and those obtained by Don Staniford under FOI, and it really is this misuse of statistics that I am raising in this and other threads.
I fully agree with you that barrier nets are the only sustainable answer, and it is a frustration to me that the salmon industry don't just get on with it and end this soft target that the antis use.
Having said that, lethal pest control is nothing new and deemed perfectly acceptable for other species in food production or simply cohabiting with humans (cue Jnr hick). - McDonald's breakfast advertisement features Argyll
In a survey carried out in Aberdeen (by the Aberdeen Licensing Forum) in August 2012, it was found that over two thirds of the population have at least five alcohol sales outlets (excluding pubs) within a five minute walk from their home, with the majority of the remainder having less than fifteen minutes to travel to a sales outlet (again, excluding pubs).
Alcohol addiction, related diseases including obesity, physical injuries from abuse and general anti-social behaviour are a worse blight on our nation than a few overweight kids enjoying a burger.
Why pick on MacDonalds? - McDonald's breakfast advertisement features Argyll
I think you'll find that rather than Aberdeen, Coatbridge was identified as the fat capital of the UK not that long ago.
Fast food outlets? Plenty.
Affluence? Hardly.
High disposable income and fast food consumption aren't necessarily linked, and I would like to see the statistics to back up the theory that, on average, there is a higher percentage of obesity (better term than 'fat kids') in Aberdeen compared to Oban.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month 11
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Domestic violence thrives when we are silent; but if we take a stand and work together, we can end domestic violence. Throughout the month of October, help NNEDV to raise awareness about domestic violence and join in our efforts to end violence. Here is what you can do:
- Like NNEDV on Facebook and share our 31n31 facts about domestic violence every day.
- Replace your Facebook profile and cover images with NNEDV's images to show that you stand with NNEDV as we remember those who have lost their lives and celebrate those who have survived.
- Read and share NNEDV's weekly blog series. A new blog will be posted every Monday morning throughout the month of October.
- Make a donation to NNEDV in honor of the women in your life who have been impacted by domestic violence.
Safety Net Project 17
Technology helps victims and their children successfully flee violent batterers, stalkers and rapists. But what millions don't realize is the dangerous and potentially lethal sides of various technologies in the hands of abusers and perpetrators. NNEDV's Safety Net: Safe & Strategic Technology Project addresses how technology impacts the safety, privacy, accessibility, and civil rights of victims by:
- Educating victims, their advocates and the general public on ways to use technology strategically to help find safety and escape domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, stalking and abuse;
- We have two dozen handouts, many in multiple languages at: Technology Safety Resources
- Training law enforcement, social services, coordinated community response teams and others how to hold perpetrators accountable for misusing technology to impersonate, harass, stalk, surveil, and threaten.
- Advocating for strong local, state, national and international policies and practices that ensure the safety, privacy and civil rights of all victims and survivors.
NNEDV's Safety Net Project addresses how technology can be harnessed successfully to do effective outreach, intervention, and violence prevention work.
Since 2002, the Safety Net Project has trained more than 50,000 advocates, police, prosecutors and others. Read more

Census Project: Domestic Violence Counts 1
NNEDV's Census Project runs the U.S. National Census of Domestic Violence Services (Census). This is an annual noninvasive, unduplicated count of adults and children who seek services from U.S. domestic violence shelter programs during a single 24-hour survey period. Conducted by NNEDV, this Census takes into account the dangerous nature of domestic violence by using a survey designed to protect the confidentiality and safety of victims.
Census 2011:
- The 6th annual Domestic Violence Counts Census Day was held on Wednesday, September 15, 2011. 89 percent of local domestic violence programs across the United States submitted data. The survey results are highlighted in NNEDV's report: Domestic Violence Counts: 2011. A 24-hour census of domestic violence services.
Census 2010:
- The 5th annual Domestic Violence Counts Census Day was held on Wednesday, September 15, 2010. 91 percent of local domestic violence programs across the United States submitted data. The survey results were released January 27, 2011, and are highlighted in the NNEDV report: Domestic Violence Counts: 2010. A 24-hour census of domestic violence shelters and services.
Census 2009:
- The fourth annual Census survey was held on Tuesday, September 15, 2009. 83 percent of local domestic violence programs across the U.S. submitted data. The survey results were released March 8, 2010, International Women's Day, and are highlighted in the NNEDV report: Domestic Violence Counts: 2009. A 24-hour census of domestic violence shelters and services.
Census 2008:
- The third annual Census was conducted on September 17, 2008. The results are highlighted in the NNEDV report: Domestic Violence Counts: 08. A 24-hour census of domestic violence shelters and services.
Census 2007:
- The second annual Census was conducted on September 25, 2007. The results are highlighted in the NNEDV report: Domestic Violence Counts: 07. A 24-hour census of domestic violence shelters and services across the United States.
Census 2006:
- After developing and piloting the survey tool in May 2006, NNEDV conducted its first national Census on November 2, 2006. The results are highlighted in the NNEDV report: Domestic Violence Counts. A 24-hour census of domestic violence shelters and services across the United States.
Census Methodology and Understanding the Data:
- The "snapshot" methodology provides an unduplicated count because a victim is unlikely to access services at more than one domestic violence program during a 24-hour period. But does this mean that 65,321 people were victims of domestic violence on the day of the count? Or, since this count was only on one day. Can I multiply it by 365 and get an average estimate of the number of victims who sought services in a year? Read More...

WomensLaw Project 8
In 2010, WomensLaw.org became a project of NNEDV. WomensLaw.org was founded in February 2000 by a group of lawyers, teachers, advocates and web designers interested in seeing the power of the Internet work for more disadvantaged people and specifically for survivors of domestic violence. The mission of WomensLaw.org is to provide easy-to-understand legal information and resources to women living with or escaping domestic violence or sexual assault. By reaching out through the Internet, WomensLaw.org empowers women and girls to lead independent lives, free from abuse.
WomensLaw.org and NNEDV have worked closely together since 2000 to inform survivors of domestic violence about their legal rights and options. With a long history of partnering on technology safety, confidentiality and legal rights projects, the merger of WomensLaw.org and NNEDV formalized our working partnership.
- WomensLaw.org Website: The website provides over 6,000 pages of legal information written specifically for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The information, revised in accordance with annual legislative changes, is state-specific and written in plain language so that people can comprehend it without the help of a lawyer. The website also provides tips for working with lawyers and listings for telephone hotlines, local and state programs, court forms and law enforcement.
- Email Legal Hotline: The Email Legal Hotline is a safe, accessible service through which victims, friends, family and advocates can request personalized and anonymous support. Hotline advocates respond to each email, in either English or Spanish, tailoring responses to answer each person's specific needs. The Hotline also supports advocates at local programs by answering their questions with timely, reliable and relevant legal information, helping them support the victims with whom they are working.

The Ridiculous Ohio State, ESPN, Urban Meyer Timeline
The Urban Meyer to Ohio State reports really kicked into high gear when Buckeye blog Eleven Warriors sent out this tweet eleven days ago, saying ESPN analyst Urban Meyer was 99.7% sure to take the Ohio State head coaching job. As much as Sports by Brooks wants to take credit for breaking the story, it seems like Eleven Warriors had the reports first. (Which has developed an interesting case of blogger on blogger violence in its own right.) Since then, what has evolved is a quagmire of reports, sources, and denials that makes Baghdad Bob look like a public relations savant. I've lived through 62 Brett Favre retirements and comebacks and this is by far the messiest story I can ever remember. Hopefully it ends today and Urban Meyer is FINALLY announced publicly as Ohio State head coach. But that doesn't mean there haven't been nauseating twists and turns along the way. Let's take a look back, shall we?
*Urban Meyer's First Denial, November 19th
After the initial Eleven Warriors report, the question had to be put directly to Urban Meyer with regards to him becoming the next coach at Ohio State. At least ESPN had him address it publicly (not so on the next Saturday as you'll see later). Broadcast partner Dave Pasch asked Meyer about the OSU reports during the Michigan/Nebraska game. Here's what Urban had to say via SBNation:
"Well there's no truth to that," Meyer said of the rumors. "I know it's that time of year, but I have not been offered any job and I have certainly not accepted any job."
After that first denial we learned one thing, Urban Meyer isn't a good actor. Immediately, top college football writers questioned Urban's denial...
*More reports keep pouring in, November 22-23
There were some rumblings that Scout had the Urban to OSU story as early as Eleven Warriors, but the first word on Twitter from Scout's Ohio State writer Bill Greene on November 22nd called Meyer to OSU a done deal.
It was also at this time that more traditional media piled on the story and issued their own reports. Tim May and the Columbus Dispatch confirmed reports of a done deal on November 23rd. The Cleveland Plain Dealer also issued their own report that same day. From an ESPN search, it appears they issued their first story on Meyer actually accepting the job on the ESPN Big Ten blog only after the Dispatch and Plain Dealer reports. For what it's worth, CBS also had their own source that said a deal wasn't done yet.
Meyer, stubbornly sticking to his guns, denied the story AGAIN:
"I have not been offered any job nor is there a deal in place," Meyer said in a statement. "I plan on spending Thanksgiving with my family and will not comment on this any further."
Hopefully Urban and his family (ya know, the one that he left coaching for) enjoyed a peaceful Thanksgiving. If you're still following along, I'm going to warn you, here's where things get difficult...

Let's get to know the main assets of the Maemo and Moblin communities. The resources below refer to http://moblin.org and http://maemo.org, even if other related community sites should also be taken into account, such as http://www.moblinzone.com/ or http://www.mwkn.net/
Both communities have many corners and probably nobody knows all of them. Feel free editing this table if there is anything missing. Items sorted in no particular order.
To discuss these assets and the plan for the future of the MeeGo infrastructure, subscribe to the MeeGo community mailing list: http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community. You can also subscribe from your account page on meego.com.
Asset | Maemo | Moblin | MeeGo considerations |
Servers | Recently moved to a new ISP, Nokia, and community admins. | Hosted by the Linux Foundation. Intel admins | Hosted by the Linux Foundation. Currently Intel admins only |
CMS | Midgard controls static pages and many services - see below | Drupal | Drupal used to kick-off meego.com |
Community apps - distribution | Downloads allowing user rating and commenting (based on Midgard). QA community process including autobuilder, Extras-devel and Extras-testing, where community testers approve (or not) apps to Extras. Meet the Testing Squad. | http://garage.moblin.org/ | tbd http://meego.com/garage |
Community apps - infra | Garage, a GForge. There is a trend of projects using standard community infra instead, such as http://gitorious.org | Git | tbd http://meego.com/garage |
Bug reporting | Bugzilla, now open also to community projects. Meet the Bugsquad- | Bugzilla | Bugzilla is on its way |
Feature requests | Brainstorm, open recently and still consolidating. Before everything was handled in Bugzilla but a split was made since Bugzilla was considered too harsh for non-technical contributors that anyway could do a good job brainstorming new features. | none, other than filing bugs | ? |
Community speakers | Elected Maemo Community Council. Its primary purpose is to represent the views and opinions of the Maemo Community to Nokia, and vice versa. Elections for a new 6-month term are in March 2010. | Moblin Steering Committee would be the closest? | MeeGo brings a different model of community, not lead anymore by a single company. See its Governance model. There hasn't been any discussion about an elected body (it would have been pointless before the public launch). Proposal for a Community working group. |
User reputation | Karma system recording all kinds of contributions to the project. Used to determine Council eligibility and voting rights. Also helpful in the selection of contributors sponsored to events, developer devices... | none | See reputation proposal - currently agreed plan is to have a number of rankings per activity, with no single aggregated figure integrated in MeeGo to begin with (but if someone aggregates the publicly available data to generate a global ranking, and that gets widely followed, integrating later is possible). |
Wiki | http://wiki.maemo.org based on MediaWiki. Garage projects and maemo.gitorious.org also have wikis but the guideline is to converge in the maemo.org wiki as much as possible. Meet the Maemowiki Action Group. | none | This wiki, also based on MediaWiki |
Mailing lists | Basically 3: community, developers and users. Many garage projects have their own lists and there is plenty of them. | Basically 3: devel-English, devel-Portuguese and localization. | Various MeeGo mailing lists and descriptions of each one. |
IRC | Several channels in freenode.net. | #moblin at irc.freenode.net | Starting with #meego at irc.freenode.net |
Forum | Talk is now a central piece of maemo.org. It has huge activity, that has increased exponentially since the N900 launch. There are long term contributors interested in OSS, platform, Linux, development... there are new contributors interested in the N900 and coolest apps regardless of license... and all combinations. | Web based discussion happening around blog comments. | MeeGo forum |
Documentation | The Maemo team at Nokia has been moving the documentation work to the wiki in order to make the most of community contributions. We are literally half way, and the last plans are to use the wiki as the master for the "Maemo 6 Developer Guide". | Moblin SDK docs
Intel Atom Developer SDK is also related, if you want to get apps into AppUp | ? |
News | "Social News", aggregating plenty of sources and then using a system of thumbs up/down to decide the news highlighted. Complemented by official community announcements usually written by Council members that stick to the maemo.org homepage. | Moblin community blogs | Humble start in the form of meego.com hosted blogs. |
Planet | Planet Maemo, used to aggregate blogs of community members under certain requirements. Based on Midgard. | none | Intention to have a plan for blogs/planet soon. |
Community 'pro' team | Nokia funds a team of community members working full/part time to help completing tasks based on community priorities and monthly sprints. | none | Before the launch only Intel and Nokia employees have been working on MeeGo (obviously). No further discussion has taken place (it would have been pointless before the public launch). Nokia is keeping the current contracts with the maemo.org team regardless of MeeGo and the intention is to keep doing with this budget whatever is preferred by the community. |
Community localization | Ongoing work to enable Community localization in "Maemo 6" using Transifex. | Transifex | Margie Foster at Intel has been coordinating the localization for Moblin, and is willing to do so for MeeGo, working with the existing teams. |
Security vulnerability handling and advisories | email@example.com as a reporting and contact address, bulletins, bugs tagged as "security" in maemo.org Bugzilla. | Contacted, waiting for info. | The community probably needs a security vulnerability coordination group, a policy and a way to publish advisories but in interim we can probably rely on existing ones (Nokia, Intel, Open Source CERT) |
Work streaming | Status messages showing what community members are doing now. maemork | Please Fill | A Qaiku channel also for MeeGo: meegork |
Newcomer welcome process | Maemo Greeters Program. Volunteers add links to helpful resources in their forum signatures, spreading these help links throughout the forum simply by posting. | N/A | N/A |

Self-reported function, hip range of motion (HROM), and patient-perceived improvement occurred after an 8-week program of exercise therapy (ET) for patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA), say authors of an article published in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Manual therapy (MT) as an adjunct provided no further benefit, except for achieving higher patient satisfaction, they add.
For this investigation, 131 patients with hip OA recruited from general practitioners, rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, and other hospital consultants in Dublin, Ireland, were randomized to 1 of 3 groups: ET (n=45), ET+MT (n=43), and wait-list control (n=43).
Participants in both ET and ET+MT groups received up to 8 treatments over 8 weeks. Control group participants were rerandomized into either the ET or ET+MT group after the 9 week follow-up. Their data were pooled with original treatment group data—ET (n=66) and ET+MT (n=65).
The primary outcome was the WOMAC physical function (PF) subscale. Secondary outcomes included physical performance, pain, HROM, anxiety/depression, quality of life, medication usage, patient-perceived change, and patient satisfaction.
There was no significant difference in WOMAC PF between ET (n=66) and ET+MT (n=65) groups at 9 weeks (mean difference 0.09) or at 18 weeks (mean difference 0.42), or other outcomes, except "patient satisfaction with outcome," which was higher in the ET+MT group. Improvements in WOMAC, HROM, and patient-perceived change occurred in both treatment groups compared with the control group.
Physical therapists (PTs) should consider a number of details before contracting with payers, whether private or public. View APTA's new Managed Care Contracting Toolkit today to learn valuable information about joining a managed care plan, and securing and tracking contracts. A chapter on "doing the math" can help you decide which fee schedules, patient populations, and payment methodologies are best suited to your practice. The toolkit also breaks down the pros and cons of common methodologies that third-party payers use to pay for physical therapy services and offers information on negotiating contracts.
APTA's Payment and Practice Management Department created the member-only toolkit to help PTs make informed decisions about joining a provider network.
An analysis of clinical practice guidelines archived on the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) website as of June 2011 demonstrated poor compliance with Institute of Medicine (IOM) standards, with little if any improvement over the past 2 decades, say authors of an article published this month in Archives of Medicine.
For the study, 2 reviewers independently screened 130 guidelines selected at random from NGC's website for compliance with 18 of 25 IOM standards.
The overall median number of IOM standards satisfied (out of 18) was 8 (44.4%). Fewer than half of the guidelines surveyed met more than 50% of IOM standards. Barely a third of the guidelines produced by subspecialty societies satisfied more than 50% of the IOM standards surveyed.
Information on conflicts of interest was given in fewer than half of the guidelines surveyed. Non-English literature, unpublished data, and/or abstracts were rarely considered in developing guidelines. Differences of opinion among committee members generally were not aired in guidelines. Benefits of recommendations were enumerated more often than potential harms. Guidelines published from 2006 through 2011 varied little with regard to average number of IOM standards satisfied.
"Everybody everywhere is developing guidelines and there is no real quality control," lead author Philip A. Mackowiak, MD, told Reuters News. "There is no good oversight of who actually develops the guidelines or what criteria need to be met in order for them to be published."
IOM's standards were not published until 2011. Mackowiak acknowledges that the experts who developed the guidelines reviewed by his team would not have been able to use IOM's standards. However, he added that similar standards have been published before and that they were basic enough that they should have been followed, says Reuters.

"APTA applauds the proposed legal settlement of the nationwide class action lawsuit directed toward ensuring Medicare coverage of reasonable and necessary therapy and nursing services for people with chronic and degenerative health conditions," says APTA President Paul A. Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS, in a statement issued today regarding the lawsuit Glenda Jimmo, et. al vs. Kathleen Sebelius. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit alleged that the US Department of Health and Human Services, Medicare contractors, and administrative review boards were arbitrarily limiting coverage for patients who did not show long-term improvement in their conditions, even though official Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services rules state these services should be covered.
Under this proposed agreement, Medicare would pay for skilled therapy and nursing services if they are needed to maintain the patient's current condition or prevent or slow further deterioration.
The New York Times highlighted how the policy change will result in significant cost savings in the long term by allowing patients to receive physical therapy and other services in community-based settings and avoiding expensive care in hospitals and nursing homes.
APTA will continue its efforts to ensure access to appropriate physical therapy services. The association also will work with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and its contractors to ensure accurate and fair incorporation of revisions to the current Medicare manuals and regulations that reflect this significant change. In addition, the association will continue to analyze the proposed settlement for potential impact on Medicare policies regarding the reporting of functional limitations on the claim for outpatient therapy and the requirement to complete a functional reassessment at defined intervals under the Home Health Part A benefit.
APTA plans to actively educate members to ensure proper understanding and application of the newly revised Medicare regulations.
Although 66% of online American adults use social networking sites, according to a 2012 Pew Internet Project study, many users remain skeptical about using social media for professional purposes. To demonstrate some of the potential benefits of social media, APTA hosted an online roundtable discussion Monday with 5 physical therapists and 1 student of physical therapy, all of whom actively use Twitter and other social media tools to network about physical therapy issues.
The 53-minute discussion, conducted using Google+ Hangouts and archived via YouTube, covers the weekly #SolvePT tweetchat, ways that social media are effective in advocacy efforts, benefits of social media for physical therapy educators and students, and the challenges of discussing critical issues in a social media environment, among other topics.
Participating in the panel were Allan Besselink, PT, Dip MDT, Christopher Bise, PT, DPT, MS, OCS, physical therapist student Matt DeBole, Selena Horner, PT, MS, GCS, Eric Robertson, PT, DPT, OCS, and Ann Wendel, PT, ATC, CMTPT.
The roundtable is available on the Social Media Tips & Best Practices webpage of APTA.org, which includes links to APTA's policy on social media, a new video tutorial for Twitter, and other resources.
Before National Physical Therapy Month ends, take the time to acknowledge your colleagues or students with an APTA 2013 Honor or Award nomination. By nominating the person or people you feel are most deserving of an honor or award, you can help APTA celebrate their many contributions to the physical therapy profession.
Your participation in the nominating process is extremely important. It's quick, easy—and in keeping with APTA's green initiative, all APTA national Honors and Awards applications are available for electronic submission.
Go to APTAs Honors and Awards page and submit your nominations online. All submissions must be received by December 1.
E-mail questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 800/999-2782, ext 3233, for more information.
Time is running out to nominate yourself or an APTA-member colleague to national office. The online Nomination Form (NC 1) is available on APTA's website under "Leadership and Governance" and then "Elections and Nominations." The APTA Nominating Committee is seeking recommendations for the 2013 Slate of Candidates for the following positions: secretary, vice speaker, 3 directors, and 2 Nominating Committee members.


text: You have a good point on the OC, except Emery knows what its like to take a job and have to keep the coaches that are there. So I think Emery will hire a OC that not only can fix the Offense but can work well with the players, also will be someone that can work well with any HC. At this point I don't think Lovie is thinking about talking with anyone about an extention, more like give me one more year and I can make things right. Please.

As I was preparing to write this post Rainbow and I were having a very bad potty training day. Rainbow is 11 months old. We have been training for 4 months now. We were doing well before the move, and then Ramadan came and it threw me off, thus, throwing off the whole system we had in place.
I am the only one right now who does toilet time with Rainbow because I am the one who is at home. As I said before, our days are up and down, and Rainbow usually dictates what kind of day I will have. Yesterday I cleaned up a huge puddle after he got up from the potty before he was finished. Later on, while I was setting the bath he peed on the bed-skirt (I only figured out what it was hours later). We didn't have a great day.
Rainbow has been using a his Go Diego Go 3 in 1 potty since we started training in June. Before we moved, and he was younger, we used the seat cover on the big toilet (it just worked better for me) since he didn't get the concept of sitting on the potty, and believe me, potty time is not the same with boys as it is with girls.
NOW that he is walking around, we don't have a problem with him getting to the potty, although sometimes, he ups and runs away before we get started, lol.
So goes the journey of our potty/toilet training.
About the Diego, 3-in-1 Potty Trainer
Ginsey Home Solutions has donated one FREE Diego potty for one of Chasing Rainbow's readers. Designed for every stage of potty training, the 3-in-1 potty trainer is practical and easy to use (and clean).
Available in a host of licensed characters, such as Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, Dora the Explorer and of course Diego, the 3-in-1 potty can be disassembled into a detachable potty seat and a makeshift step stool to support your child's progression.
Detachable potty seat- Fits most standard and elongated toilets |
Non-spill bowl lifts out easily |
Base turns over to use as a step stool ~rubber footing on step stool |

I mean, sure let them do their thing, but I don't agree with it and I don't understand how people find it normal for any other reason than to make an excuse for giving into the confusion (sorry for the long sentence). Anyways, I love my gay brothers and sisters (not literal brothers and sisters) and only wish them the best and pray for their sight... or somethin.

Be prepared for huge crowds this week, as tomorrow (the Fourth of July) will be one of the most crowded days of the year at the parks. In fact, this week's anticipated overall crowd level hits a 10 out of 10 every day according to MousePlanet partner TouringPlans.com.
A suggested strategy to get the most out of your Independence Day visit would be to catch the "Disney's Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky" at the Magic Kingdom on Tuesday night (with a 9.1 predicted crowd level) instead of on Wednesday (which has a 9.7 predicted crowd level), and instead catch July Fourth fireworks at either Epcot (9.9) at 10 p.m. or Disney's Hollywood Studios (9.4) at 9:45 p.m.
The special Magic Kingdom fireworks show takes place at 9:00 p.m., with showings of "The Magic, The Memories, and You" at 10:45 and 11:30 p.m. each night. The Main Street Electrical Parade runs at 10:00 p.m. and midnight each night. Additional patriotic activities in the park include the daily Flag Retreat ceremony at 5:00 p.m.. You can also visit the Hall of Presidents in Liberty Square. The Magic Kingdom park is open from 9:00 a.m. to midnight on Tuesday (with Extra Magic Hours until 3:00 a.m.) and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
Epcot again showcases the "Heartbeat of Freedom" tag to the regular Illuminations show, rolling out the special addition for the performance—alternately referred to as the "World War III Barge" or the "Armageddon Barge." The show goes off at 10:00 p.m. instead of the standard 9:00 p.m., and the park stays open until 10:00 p.m. as well. Additional patriotic activities include performances of the Voices of Liberty at the America Gardens Theatre at 12:30, 1:45, and 3:00 p.m. and at the American Adventure pavilion at 4:15 and 5:00 p.m., the American Adventure show itself, and meet-and-greet opportunities with "Ben Franklin," "Betsy Ross," and Disney characters in patriotic costumes, from 11:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Over at Disney's Hollywood Studios is the "Rockin' 4th of July Celebration" show, with live music by Mulch, Sweat, and Shears accompanying the fireworks, which kick off at at 9:45 p.m. There are also 9:00 and 10:30 p.m. showings of Fantasmic. The park is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
If you'd like to be elsewhere for the fireworks (or perhaps view them from a less crowded vantage point outside the parks), Disney's Animal Kingdom (a predicted 9.3 crowd level) is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, with morning Extra Magic Hours beginning at 8 a.m.

Reservations open in August (exact date to be determined) for the highly anticipated 500-seat Be Our Guest restaurant at the Magic Kingdom. The restaurant, with three dining rooms located inside the mountain and Beast's Castle structure in the northwest corner of the new Fantasyland Forest area, serves counter-service meals at lunchtime and table-service meals at dinner.
The restaurant is participating in the Disney Dining Plan, with a cost of one Quick Service entitlement for lunch and one Table Service entitlement for dinner. Be Our Guest also accepts the Tables in Wonderland discount dining card.
Last week, Chef Michael Deardorff shared the planned menu on the Disney Parks Blog.
The lunch service is a modified counter-service offering. Although cashiers can take guest orders (for those who require personal assistance or who are paying cash), the primary method of ordering will be through self-service kiosks, like those used at Pecos Bill's. It will be interesting to see how the kiosks are themed to match the restaurant. After guests place their order, their food will be delivered to their table on a china place setting, rather than paper or plastic.
Lunch offerings include tuna Niçoise salad; Croque Monsieur sandwich (ham, Gruyere cheese, and béchamel) with fries; braised pork; loaded vegetable quiche; quinoa, shallot, and chive salad; a turkey sandwich on a warm baguette with fries; and a grilled steak sandwich with garlic butter spread with fries.
Dinner features a standard table-service menu that includes appetizers of French onion or potato leek soup; charcuterie plate featuring cured meats and sausages; steamed mussels in white wine; and champagne vinaigrette salad. There's also a salad trio featuring roasted beet, raisins, and orange; green beans, tomatoes, and roasted shallots; and watermelon, radish, and mint.
Dinner entrees include grilled strip steak with fries; sauteed shrimp and scallops with veggies in puff pastry with lobster sauce; pan-seared salmon in leek fondue; oven-baked ratatouille; rotisserie rock hen with roasted fingerling potatoes; and thyme-scented port rack chop with pasta au gratin.
Dessert features strawberry cream cheese and triple chocolate cupcakes, and chocolate and passion fruit cream puffs.
The kids' lunch menu includes turkey sandwich, roasted pulled pork, seared mahi mahi, Mickey meatloaf, and whole-grain macaroni with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Kids' dinner offerings include grilled steak, grilled fish of the day, grilled chicken breast, and whole-grain macaroni.

The Characters in Flight balloon has been temporarily removed from Downtown Disney following an incident involving a similar balloon in Hong Kong. The accident, at Ocean Park, occurred when the balloon sprang a leak and plunged nearly 200 feet to the ground. Four passengers and one visitor on the ground were injured. Three other passengers and the operator were uninjured. Two of the injured passengers were taken to a hospital and later released after treatment. The visitor on the ground remained in the hospital with head injuries.
Following the accident, Aerophile pulled the Florida balloon for inspection, as well as a similar balloon at Disneyland Paris. The balloon's page on the Walt Disney World website has been temporarily disabled.
Some rumors indicate that the balloon may not be flying again until November. The balloon was reportedly scheduled for replacement in November, and therefore it makes less sense to try to put the balloon back in service only to deflate it again just weeks later.

A new baby okapi was born at Disney's Animal Kingdom on June 21. Nafuna, the female baby (who weighed 35 pounds at birth), and its mother Zawadi, return to the Ituri Forest at Disney's Animal Kingdom in the next few months. Nafuna's father, Akili, lives on the Animal Kingdom Lodge's savanna. Okapi can be seen from both the Kilimanjaro Safaris jeeps and the pathways of the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail.
Despite its striped hindquarters, okapi are not related to the zebra, but are actually a relative of the giraffe. Their stripes act as camouflage when hiding in the partial sunlight filtering through the forest canopy. Okapi are rare in the wild due to habitat loss and hunting.

The Best Mila Kunis Interview You Have Ever Seen
Mila Kunis does not really look like she is having much fun with Chris Stark. I think Chris did a great job.
Mila Kunis does not really look like she is having much fun with Chris Stark. I think Chris did a great job.

Labels: Mila Kunis
I knew the story but for some there's going to be a movie spoiler in this interview...
The latest issue of EW made a point of saying that they wouldn't spoil that particular plot point, but then later in the article, said something that totally did.
Also, I find it hard to believe that she used to bartend. Mila started on That 70's Show when she was 15 and has been working steadily ever since then.
@Cathy - it's funny. I read the same EW interview & wondered what they were thinking.
I'm guilty of usually not watching the videos on the site, especially the longer ones like this, but I did and it was so worth it!!!!! That guy is amazing, and Mila is pretty funny
I can't watch it because I'm at work - anyone want to tell me what the best part is?
Mila should date a guy like Chris Stark. He's a very nice boy, and normal compared to that jack@ass she's currently dating. He'd be good to her.
Cliff notes, please.
Cross out Ashton, Circle Chris. Mila and Chris 4EVAH!
Didn't you feel like he might start talking about Horse and Hound?
FSP - Awkward, amateur doing an interview where he talks about food and a soccer game. Unless you just have to look at Mila Kunis talk for 7 minutes, it's just a regular conversation between two people.
@Sunny... YES!!!!!! Love it.
Thanks, disco!
Ha! I was totally thinking that!!! Great minds Sunny!
SUNNY!!! lmfao--'Horse and Hound' was the only good thing about that movie....plus the montage of time passing..."Every Time She Goes Away."
She is amazing. She goes out of her way to make him feel comfortable and be amiable. I love her.
Grace---As much as she must get this attention---true, honest attention for both her beauty and how cool she would seem to be as a friend/GF---Mila is such a pro with it. Some would get annoyed and uppity, but she's ever kind. I wonder if it's because of her hard early life?
She never really acts better than anyone, and even I do that, I'm ashamed to say. My life would be a lot easier if I had the easy rapport she seems to have with everyone.
That was awesome. He was so cute!
"Oh, we're back to being British" :)
@Sunny - hahaha...that took me a minute to get the reference.
Proves once and for all that she is WAY too good for that Kutcher boy.
Aaaannndd Mila continues to be my biggest girl crush ever, since Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
I love the jersey comment. "Can we change it to purple?"
That guy is so in love with her right now.
Okay the wedding comment at the end was odd. She just changed the subject.
@Cathy - She actually has. Most likely while on hiatus from filming. It was at a dive bar in NYC near NYU called Bar None, back when she was still with Mac.
hahaah cute
Love it, what a good sport! Still dont know why she is with Ashton. :\
@ curly
Probably cause she knows the real Ashton, not the one you guys think you know because of some gossip. Or he's really really good in bed.
Mila's always struck me as someone who had her head on right, and i trust her to make her own decisions.
For more Mila awesomeness, watch the gag reels for Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Friends With Benefits. Both on youtube and pretty dam funny.
@Brady88 - Hate to burst your bubble, but perhaps it's because they are more similar than you think? Friends of mine that went to Fairfax High with Mila weren't to fond of her personality. Haven't heard nice things coming from Iowa (or from Hollywood below the line workers) regarding Ashton either.
Are they smart? Sure. Are they attractive? Hell yeah. Are they good actors? Well, that's pretty much up in the air.
They are human. No need to elevate them into super-human beings.
This was painful to watch. Talk about an interviewer who let the interview slip away......
totally awesome interview, Mila rocks!! Very cool movie star with a clearly, nervous young man...and yes @ Sunny, totally horse and hound!!
Why does Enty say she doesn't look like she's having fun? I thought she was funny and sweet in this interview. Got no take on her relationship with Kutcher.
@ Katie - really? I dunno, I found it charming.
Oh I love Chris Stark! '24 years at the tap end' has gotten me through many car journeys home and near caused me to crash they're that funny. Also? Innuendo Bingo. Check it out guys.
Hahaha Sunny that's great. Totally.
My job is interviewing actors on the red carpet and at press junkets. It is sometimes unbelievably difficult and nerve racking. I have been at it for 10 years and still get tongue tied when I interview people I admire.... or have bad reputations. Actors are soooo bored after doing 30 junket interviews that are EXCACTLY the same questions. It's refreshing to see Mila roll with his awkwardness and not make his experience something that will scar him for life. I'm looking at you Shirley MacLaine.
isn't watford where east enders was set?
this is cute.
Young interviewer has that Hugh Grant thing going on. They should check his DNA.

Plan Vivo is a framework for supporting communities to manage their natural resources more sustainably, with a view to generating climate, livelihood and ecosystem benefits.
Participants are rural smallholders and communities dependent on natural resources for livelihoods. Activities are implemented on smallholder or community land (owned or long-term user rights).
The Plan Vivo System works through projects following these key steps and processes:
Community-led design
Plan Vivo project design is community-led. Communities decide which land use activities (e.g. woodlots, agroforestry, forest conservation) will best address threats to local ecosystems and are of interest and value to them.
Eligible activities (for generating Plan Vivo Certificates) are afforestation and agroforestry, forest conservation, restoration and avoided deforestation.
Writing plan vivos and quantifying carbon services
Each 'producer' or 'producer group' (where the land is communally owned or managed) writes their own 'plan vivo', a land-management plan laying out activities to be implemented.
Each participant or group adapts their activities to their own circumstances and priorities, creating diverse interventions across the landscape.
Each plan vivo is checked by the project coordinator to check it is realistic and in line with technical requirements, and will support the participant's livelihood objectives. Using the project's approved technical specification (which includes a methodology for calculating carbon sequestered or emissions avoided), the carbon services generated from each plan vivo are calculated.
PES agreements ('payments for ecosystem services')
Producers/groups enter into written agreements with the project coordinator, who agree to make staged payments and provide continued technical support.
Monitoring and payments
The project coordinator monitors plan vivos over time. When participants meet agreed monitoring targets, a payment can be made, providing continued incentives. Monitoring indicators should be simple and cost-effective to measure, and enable technical functions to take place at a local level.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) says the House won't adjourn until a "credible" deal on the so-called fiscal cliff is reached. (Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images / November 30, 2012) |
At least one part of the government will probably be gathered in Washington until a solution is reached in the "fiscal cliff" negotiations: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said Wednesday that there would be no adjournment "until a credible solution to the fiscal cliff has been found."
Citing a "number of outstanding legislative items that we must revolve," Cantor said on the House floor that "members are advised that the House will now be in session the week of December 17."
The House had previously been schedule to adjourn Dec. 14. The extension, Cantor said, was first and foremost due to the fiscal cliff. The exact scheduling for the additional sessions will be announced next week.
Cantor added that "members are further reminded that the House will not adjourn the 112th Congress until a credible solution to the fiscal cliff has been found." That credible solution, presumably, would hew closely to the guidelines he mentioned in a news conference Wednesday morning.
QUIZ: How much do you know about the fiscal cliff?
"An obsession to raise taxes is not going to solve the problem," Cantor said. "What will solve the problem is doing something about the entitlements, taking on the wasteful spending in Washington."
Emblematic of the debate in Washington over the looming cliff, Cantor and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Ma.) engaged in a heated exchange on the House floor during their weekly colloquy.
Hoyer, pressing for the House to take action on extending President George W. Bush-era tax cuts for the middle class, said "we can debate the other part of it [the fiscal cliff], we can vote on the other part of it. … I don't think there's disagreement on the 98%."
Cantor dismissed Hoyer's proposal, arguing that such a vote would lead to tax increases on small businesses and wealthy Americans, confounding Hoyer.
"The Senate bill raises taxes on nobody," Hoyer replied, pounding on his podium.
The fiscal cliff talks between Republicans and Democrats are once again at an impasse, with the House GOP plan, which includes $800 billion in new revenue and $1.4 trillion in cuts, being soundly rejected by the White House (and many Republicans). President Obama's plan includes $1.6 trillion in new revenue, spurred by a tax increase on top earners, and $400 billion in cuts -- a plan that Republicans in turn have rebuked.
The House is done with voting for the rest of the week, and will not be in session until Dec. 11, largely ensuring that the issue of actually finding a "credible solution" will remain up in the air.
