Nature Babycare Diapers
Now there's an alternative to Seventh Generation. Nature Babycare Diapers are also chlorine-free, and made of 100% biodegradable material. The company even plants a tree with every pack that you purchase.
So if you wanted to be green, but you just couldn't venture the cloth diaper route, these might be worth checking out. They got a thumbs up from Cool Mom Picks. You can read her full review here.

I've never tried the diapers but I like the biodegradable diaper-disposal bags they make as well as the lotion.
We wanted these to be good so much! We have a compost heap and would love to not have to throw away our diapers. But they just didn't work. The material they are made of is slightly scratchy and has no flex to it; our son found them uncomfortable and they constantly leaked. They also seem to run small, so if you're trying them, you might want to order up. We're back to 7th Gs.
If you like them and they work for you, diapers.com is a good source for them...
These are a good step in the right direction... BUT i would also venture to also recommend G DIAPERS as a truly eco- conscious alternative.
They are the only cradle to cradle certified diaper on the market i believe. We've been using them for the past year on our daughter and LOVE them!
It's a hybrid between a cloth and disposables, with a cloth outer cover and a flushable liner that you can flush in the toilet (we've had no clogs yet!) or you can compost the wet ones (att.deoxy!) My husband loves that we have NO STINKY DIAPER PAIL!
Plus the pants come in a ton of cute colors. check them out at www.gdiapers.com
happy diapering! ( and no - i don't work for them , just an enthusiastic green mama!)
I have been using the Nature Babycare diaper for our son because his daycare refuses to use cloth diapers. I agree with "deoxy" that the sizes do run a little small. My son is only in daycare part-time, so we use Fuzzy Bunz and G Diapers the rest of the time. We use cloth inserts in the G Diaper when we are at home because the flushables are expensive.
There is a new blog called Tiny Decor (www.tinydecorblog.com) that has a few great posts on G Diapers and using them with cloth inserts.
I really wanted to use G diapers, and I purchased a bunch of covers and inserts before my son was born, but they leaked every single time we tried them. With my son in daycare now, we've had to use disposables, which was my last choice.
I use both Seventh Generation and Nature Babycare (and Moltex, from Germany), here in Australia. I have had excellent experiences with all three.
As mentioned by others, the Nature Babycare nappies are a little unpredictable size-wise - I found them excellent for newborn, but the size 3 are too small for my 8kg baby girl, and the size 4 are a little too large. I have never had any leakage, so use the Nature Babycare size 4's for nighttime, and use the Seventh Generation size 3's for daytime. The tabs are not stretchy like the Seventh Generation/Moltex nappies - I just make sure they don't dig into my baby's legs.
Here in Australia you can buy the Nature Babycare nappies at the two major supermarket chains at an excellent pricepoint (around $20) compared to the Seventh Generation/Moltex which you need to buy from a specialist organic/eco-store at a higher price (around $32-34).
Please support these new brands as it is so great to have more eco-friendly options to choose from!
we've used cloth for both our children, the only exception being when we travel, when our preference has been for Tushies, which are gel-free:
I am very wary of diapers, such as 7th Generation and GDiapers, with Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP), the same super-absorbent gel found in most conventional disposables. SAPs were removed from tampons due to the link to toxic shock syndrome, and to date, there are no long term studies to show that SAPs are safe for use in diapering (that gel has been shown to escape out of the diaper, and into the genital area).
since Nature Babycare is "ultra thin" and "high performance" it in all probability has the gel
Ignorant pregnant mom-to-be here!
We're in an apartment with no clothes washer available... so cloth diapers are simply not possible for us....
I'm so happy I found this thread! I never knew there were environmentally responsible (or at least more responsible) disposable diapers.... I presumed cloth was the only option!
Now I'm going to find out what local shops sell all the brands mentioned... I hope one is remotely affordable!
decorating, cooking and science:
-have you checked out local diaper services?
-also, the best prices for specialty items, such as Tushies, are often available on-line. There is often a bulk discount, which your local health food store won't have.
We also tried a diaper service and G-diapers. The cloth diapers, even with covers leaked all the time and cover tight enough to not leak was too uncomfortable for our son. In fact we also tried the G-diapers covers with the cloth diapers and that was a laughable experiment. Weâre on the go a lot and they ended up really becoming a huge hassle. I so very much wanted to be able to stick with them. Probably best if youâre a stay at home or donât hit the road a lot.
The G-diapers are another wonderful concept. We started using these when traveling while using the cloth diapers at home and had the same issues as heps, too much leakage. We had no problems flushing the inserts though, even with the low flow toilet, which Iâve heard others complain about. Another great concept that didnât work for us. Thanks for the great post MNmom, Iâll check out the cloth inserts to see if that works for us while at home.
We currently use the 7th Generation diapers all the time and they work great. Posts like deoxyâs make me leery of trying yet another possible leaky product like the Nature Baby but Iâll do my due diligence and order a pack just in case. Monika1, the SAP issue is still a concern. We really, REALLY liked a lot of the usability of the G-diapers. Our second son is due in July so weâre definitely open to alternatives.
Sounds like you have a fit problem with diaper covers -- essentially, the gdiaper consists of a two part diapers cover (inner and outer) designed to accept the SAP insert. Diaper services usually provide you with Pro-Wraps, or sell them to you. I hated pro-wraps (they leaked with our daughter because she has skinny thighs), so I got rid of them.
I've experimented with many different covers and diapers, and the covers which work best, especially with simply flat or contoured diapers, are ImseVimse Bumpy Diaper Covers.
We got all wool (simply wash them on the wool cycle in your machine, no big deal), which breathe best.
We also use the ImseVimse AIO (AllInOne), which includes the diaper cover, and has an organic cotton and microfleece interior.
What is so great about ImseVimse is that their covers have gussets that are done in a trim fabric, so that it is not bulky and yet still prevents leaks. The fit is very flexible on them, so they fit slim and chunky thighs alike.
...and liners, especially flushable ones, are A Good Thing...
I use BumGenius and Fuzzi Bunz cloth now that I can wash them at home: http://nickisdiapers.com/catalog.php?category=11
When we used a service though, the two most important items were a snappi: http://nickisdiapers.com/catalog.php?category=125 without this, prefolds ALWAYS leak for us, regardless of the cover.
And a good cover. These are my faves: http://www.affordablediapers.com/servlet/Categories?category=Wool Wraps
...with the Bumpy covers, because of how large the velcro area is, you get a really good fit and don't need snappis, honest! (I found snappis to be a pain because of the time and difficulty of getting everything lined up just right -- our kids are super wiggly)
we use fleece pocket diapers too (albeit not fuzzibunz), and they are easy to put on, and breathe, preventing chaffing and rashes (which can happen with PUL fabrics)
i'm so surpised at the post about having leaks with gdiapers! We use them 100% of the time - at night, when out and bout & AT DAYCARE!
I wish i could come and show you the proper fit and i bet we could solve it! leaks can occur if the covers are overtightened (like how you crank down a traditional disposable's tape) so maybe those that have had a leak should refer to the video on how to put them on online at gdiapers.com which shows a proper fit. once you figure it out it's super simple :)
we rarely have a small leak and don't have the poopy blowouts our friends do who use traditional disposables!
The best part is how flexible they are- you can flush the inner, toss it, compost the wet diapers, or use cloth in them. we travel all day and on planes with them with out concern. :)
As for the sap issue. -it's really not one- it's in almost all disposables even 7th gen, in lots of gardening products and in feminine hygiene products like pads.
"SAP is proven to be safe and effective by over 400 studies, and most recently was given the "two thumbs up" from MBDC, the leading US based design chemistry firm. MBDC gave the SAP in our gDiaper flushables the chemical rating "green", which is the safest assessment a chemical or material can receive. "
if there was a toxic issue gdiapers would not be cradle to cradle certified.
I would give g's a chance. We've loved them for the past year and don't bother having anything else stocked in the house as "backup".
i love having a clear diapering conscience!
good luck everyone. it's great to see so many people thinking through the impact they are having by diapering and exploring alternatives.
We love Moltex Oko diapers from Germany. I personally think they're the best eco-friendly diapers available in the market today. It's 100% chlorine-free, fully compostable backsheet film, and comes in a biobag that's fully compostable. We use for food scraps.
We are very excited to announce that Moltex Oko diapers will soon be available exclusively through www.shoptootles.com.

The city of Whitefish is preparing for an upcoming public forum on what to do with a piece of land in the U.S. 93 corridor.
Between Miles Avenue and Mountainside Drive-- officials hope to decide what to do with this land that has become more commercial and less residential in recent years.
John Wilson, the Whitefish Public Parks Director, does not think he will see much strong public opposition to developing the land during the open house.
The Whitefish steering committee also met before their 2:30 p.m. meeting to tour the U. S. 93 corridor, the area for which the planning agreement is being drawn up.
"Just kind of coaching the steering committee members on you know what to do and how to document people's comments, telling them what their subject area is going to be--that kind of logistics," explained Wilson in regards to yesterday's proceedings.
The meeting intended for public input is this Tuesday, August 20, but there are three more public involvement meetings throughout September and November. You can learn more about these meetings and the progress of the land agreement here.

Well I am in a funk today. I'm committed to losing 10# a month and that's not working so well for me - it's NOT HAPPENING!
Last month I lost 5.5, last WEEK I lost 6 and this week I gained back 4. This is starting to get on my nerves.
Things are tough for us financially. I've been working really hard to keep my grocery budget at $50 a week or less for my family. My daughter is away at college so it's just me my husband and teen aged son at home. It's been hard, but I've been cooking beans every week which has helped to stretch the budget. It has also helped me to get in my required fiber with good protein and low fat each day.
My sparkpeople calorie range is 1950-2300. I have stayed consistently at 1600-1900 calories daily. I'm wondering if the beans are contributing extra sodium thus accounting for the gain. My sodium has been well over the 2300 recommended grams.
I haven't been exercising formally and I know that's a problem, but I've been getting in a lot more activity than usual. I need to start hitting losses. Everything else is so out of control and I am so stressed that I need the weight loss. That is the one thing I do have control over - what goes in my mouth and how much I move my body. I just seem to be losing my motivation because I am discouraged by the lose two gain one game.
IF you look at my weekly weight chart, it doesn't appear that I am even trying. That couldn't be further from the truth. I think about my diet constantly. I make sure to get in my water every day, don't drink any drinks with calories and hardly ever reach the top of my calorie range much less go over.
Aound the end of July I was back up to 410#. Ready to make changes and get back on track, I started a Biggest Loser Challenge in my town.
We are each paying $5 a week for 8 weeks. There are 10 participants. At the end of the challenge (end of September) The Biggest Loser (by % of body weight) will win $280 and the first runner up will win $120.
I also committed on two Spark Teams to lose 2.5# a week for each week til the end of the year. It's a 22 week challenge.
The first 4 weeks of all of these challenges was over this past Saturday. I didn't lose the 10# this month. I have lost the most POUNDS on the pay to play team, but not the biggest %.
I'm not giving up, it's one month and I have 4 months of 2010 left. I'm pressing forward to be lighter at the end.
I'm pushing for 10 in September. I only lost 5.5 in August, but I DID LOSE! I know I will break out of the 400's this September, possibly this week. Monday Aug. 30th weight was 402.1 looking forward to what the scale says on Monday Sept. 6th. Hoping there's a 3 at the beginning of my posted weight and I'm willing to keep on my program this weekend to ensure that is the case.
I've had a good day. Got up early, was at the grocery store at 7:30am, bought a week's worth of groceries for $45 - Whoop!
I texted a couple of my sisters that I was so excited about my thriftyness, one of them told me - "I love you, but you NEEED A LIFE!"
Came home, cut up two chickens, boiled and shredded. Made gumbo with 1/2 of one for tonight's supper. Put the rest in zip lock storage for the freezer. I love having pre-cooked chicken to pull out and throw something together for a quick dinner.
Made tuna fish salad for lunch. Made a gallon of sweet tea for my son & husband. Picked thru some beans and put them on to soak, will cook tomorrow. I've chopped the onion garlic and bell pepper for the beans, it's in the fridge ready to go. I boiled some extra eggs when I made the tuna for a quick breakfast or snack this week.
I did 3 loads of laundry, talked to my daughter, visited for an hour & 1/2 with my oldest sister who stopped by on her way home from a cruise vacation.
I felt very productive today. Got lots of walking in the grocery store, and lots of extra steps in the kitchen, cooking, chopping and cleaning.
I am not where I want to be or where I need to be, other than the pool I can't exercise for 30 minutes at a time YET - but THANK GOD, I am not where I was!
When I started this journey, I couldn't grocery shop alone. I had to use the cart to stand up and steady myself. There's no way I could have done the shopping, loaded the groceries in my car, unloaded them at home & put them all away by myself.
I also couldn't STAND at the kitchen counter and sink cutting up chicken, chopping vegetables and cooking. That was all done from a seated position at the table.
I've come a long way and I can't wait to lose this next 100 pounds and see the impact that it makes on my life.
This is a lifestyle change, not a race or a diet. I am proud to say that although I still weigh 400#, I have changed my life. I can see the benefits and feel those changes. When I started, I couldn't walk from my front door, down the sidewalk and across the driveway without the use of a cane and I would be out of breath.
This morning after being in the grocery store at a pretty good pace for 30 minutes, loading my own groceries and then driving home, unloading them all - by myself - in two trips from the car, I set them down and went to the restroom. I was breathing hard, but I wasn't dizzy and shaky and I was able to put them away and start immediately on cooking. That wouldn't have been possible at the beginning of this journey.
I'm pleased with my productive day and encouraged by the changes that I've made and motivated to continue to move forward.
Ok, so last week we started our Fall Focus challenge and I committed to losing 2.5 pounds a week for 22 weeks. I had to buy a new scale for weigh in and came to terms with the starting #407.6 UGH!
I did really well with eating last week, not so well with exercise and sleep. I weighed in this am to 406.2 soooo - I've lost 1.4# I didn't meet my goal of 2.5 for the week, but I'm ok with it. There could be many reasons why.
It could be fluid retention, it could be because my menstrual cycle is weirding out on me this month, it could be many other things.
So I guess what I am trying to say is this - my weight is a number, It does not define me! This time I took my measurements and "before photos" so I know that I can track progress in more ways than just the scale.
I am glad that i had a 1.4 loss this week over any tpe of gain. I'll take it, week 2 starts a smaller number than week 1, just not as small as I wanted. That doesn't mean my challenge has not been successfull, it only means I have 21 weeks left to meet my goal and I have to learn NOW, that it's ok. I am not going to lose 2.5 EVERY week, but it doesn't mean I have to change my goal or alter my FOCUS!
I am going to FOCUS this challenge to the END! So what mr scale, you didn't give me the number I wanted this week - I have one thing to say to you - You're NOT the BOSS of me! So nana nana boo boo - see ya next week scale!
Well Week 1 of the Fall Focus Challenge is behind me. I did ok on my focus points - just need to work on breakfast and exercise. I'm back to basics again for week 2. My plan is this:
1. Breakfast - concentrate on fiber & protein
2. Water - get in 8 glasses minimum.
3. Track my food and keep calories in range.
4. Move it - get in exercise!
5. Blog, post or journal my progress
6. Work on home organization each day, at least 15 minutes
The challenge is 22 weeks - thru the end of the year and I have committed to losing 55 pounds in that time frame - 2.5 each week. I can do this! I've done it before and I can do it again.

Chris Evert Children's Hospital is first in Broward County to offer RetCam digital imaging for screening diagnosis and treatment for NICU patients
Ft. Lauderdale, FL - As the first facility in Broward County to obtain Clarity Medical Systems RetCam fundus wide-field imaging camera, Broward Health Chris Evert Children's Hospital at Broward General Medical Center is improving the screening, diagnosis and treatment of premature babies born at risk of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a disease that can result in scarring, retinal detachment and ultimately blindness.
"This technology allows us to deliver highly valuable care to babies who are born at or before 32 weeks of gestation or who weigh less than1500 grams and are at the highest risk for disorganized growth of retinal blood vessels, which is the cause of ROP" said Morris Guthrie, M.D., a pediatric ophthalmologist for Broward Health. "Although we are currently the only NICU in Broward County to use RetCam, this kind of digital imaging is the future standard of eye care for preemies. I am so pleased that we are able to get a head start on offering it to our tiniest patients."
RetCam has also been shown to be an invaluable tool in resident training, parent education and documentation of ROP, as an experienced photographer can quickly and safely photograph a baby's eyes and allowing doctors and parents to see the images and better understand the status of the child's disease.
Since acquiring the machine last July, Dr. Guthrie and the other pediatric ophthalmologists at BGMC have completed more than 350 RetCam exams and four laser surgeries.
Broward Health, providing service for more than 50 years, is a nationally recognized system offering world-class health care services to our neighbors in South Florida. One of the 10 largest public health systems in the nation, Broward Health includes Broward General Medical Center, North Broward Medical Center, Imperial Point Medical Center, Coral Springs Medical Center, Chris Evert Children's Hospital, Broward Health Weston and more than 30 facilities of the Community Health Services and Broward Health Physician Group.

When's the last time you did the triceps kickback?
If you're like most guys, the answer is probably never. After all, most guys think of the kickback as a wimpy exercise. But nothing could be further from the truth, especially when you do the kickback using cables. In this episode, Dr. Jim Stoppani teaches you how to do the cable triceps kickback and alter the focus on the different triceps heads for bigger, better-balanced triceps. There's nothing wimpy about that!

Dynamic Air Flex Pet Bed 1 1
Dog Pillow is Great! This is one of two styles of dog pillows I recently ordered from FrontGate. They are both high-quality pillows, but the pup "ate" the small air-filled pillow, believing it was a toy. We're still trying to train him with the larger pillow we bought. Regardless, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to customers. July 24, 2014

5 Stocks Set to Soar off Bullish Earnings
Silicon Graphics International
One earnings short-squeeze idea in the computer systems complex is high-end computer servers and storage systems developer Silicon Graphics International (SGI), which is set to release numbers on Tuesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Silicon Graphics to report revenue of $163.79 million on earnings of 4 cents per share.
This is a heavily shorted stock that's trending strong heading into the quarter, since shares have been making higher highs and higher lows since hitting a low of $10.45 in October. This stock now sets up to break out after earnings if the company can deliver solid earnings and bullish guidance. tThe current short interest as a percentage of the float for Silicon Graphics is an extremely large 24.3%. That means that out of the 28.66 million shares in the tradable float, 7.48 million are sold short by the bears. The short-sellers have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 4.1%, or by about 292,200 shares. The bears could be pressing into the quarter, so look for any strength after the report to long this name.From a technical standpoint, this equity is currently trading above its 50-day moving average and below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. During the past six months, this stock has been finding buying support at $11 to $10.50 a share and selling pressure anywhere above $16 a share. The way I would play this stock is to wait until after its report and buy if it trades back above its 200-day moving average of $15.75 on strong volume. Look for volume that's tracking in close to or above its three-month average action of 654,700 shares. If that level is taken out, I would then add to any long position once the stock moves above $17 to $17.71 a share on strong volume. Target a run back towards $19 to $23 if the bulls push this higher post-earnings. I would only get short this stock after they report earnings if it drops below its 50-day moving average of $13.85 a share on heavy volume. I would add then add to any short position if $11.90 is taken out with volume. I would target a drop back towards $10.50 a share or possibly even lower if the bears whack this lower post-earnings. Silicon Graphics shows up on a list of 7 Tech Stocks With Limited Downside.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I still get shivers when I think of the first time (only about 6 months ago) I stood in the throne room in the ruins of Lordaeron, with my headphones on and ambient sound turned way up, and heard the ghosts of Arthas and his father...and Arthas's cold, "succeeding you, FATHER" right before the betrayal with the sword....brrr goosebumps.
And I've been playing the game for years by this point, and rather sick to death of Northrend and everything Lich King-related, but that brought it all home to me again, the scope of the story, the years, the pain. Then to stand in that same throne room and see the blood stains on the floor, and the faint echo of the bell tolling in the courtyard, there are really no words for it.
After that I went to King Menethil's tomb and paid my respects, and finally rode out to the empty grave where Invincible used to lay, before Arthas reanimated him. And yes, being somewhat of a lore geek, I took screen shots along the way.
It made me so sad, in a way that just playing the game and running the instances never did. Ever since then when I think of Arthas I just get this pain in my heart, that he hurt so many people only to lose everything in the end.
He was buried at the Balnir farmstead in Tirisfal Glades, close to the Bulwark. If you go there you can still see his empty grave, with a marker on the stone that reads,
Beloved steed of Prince Arthas Menethil
Loyal and great of heart in life, may you find peace in death.
Pure streams and green pastures, devoted friend."
Oh lord now I'm sniffling again.

If you prefer a slightly chewier cookie, reduce baking time to 10 minutes. A sprinkling of large-grained turbinado sugar makes a pretty presentation to attract bake sale buyers.

The difference in play
Edited by Claudia Fuller
West leads the six of diamonds, eight of diamonds from the dummy, and East plays the queen. Rubber bridge or team players suggest that scoring of match-point pairs distorts the game. They argue that luck and the need to take as many tricks as possible influence the priority of ensuring the contract. How would you play this hand, whether rubber bridge or duplicate?
Playing rubber bridge, the best play by South is to capture the queen of diamonds with the ace. With a certain eighth trick coming in the diamond suit, only three club tricks are needed to make the contract. South should make a safety play in clubs.
Lead a low club to dummy and win the ace. Lead a second club from dummy. If East should show out, South can play the king of clubs and another club toward dummy's Jack, ensuring a third trick in that suit. If East follows with a low club, South should play the nine of clubs. He or she will win if East has four clubs. If it loses, that means that clubs are divided 3-2, and the king of clubs will collect the last club. If East follows to the second club with the 10 or queen, South will win the trick and continue with clubs.
Playing duplicate, taking only nine tricks may be a bad result if most of the other pairs win 10 tricks. Lead a club to dummy, but if West follows low, finesse dummy's Jack. This will lead to 10 tricks whenever West starts with a singleton, doubleton or tripleton queen of clubs and a 37% chance of winning four club tricks. It has some risk, because the first-round finesse may restrict South to only two tricks if East has a singleton queen. At least you tried for that overtrick.

Julia Roberts in Earnest Sewn
Julia Roberts was spotted making her way into a medical building in Santa Monica, California. She wore a pair of Earnest Sewn jeans for the appointment. It is nice to see another celebrity in Earnest Sewn besides the Olsens. I think it is a great brand that doesn't get much notice. Plus they offer custom tailoring if you purchase in store. So you won't ever leave without the perfect pair.
I like the fit of these on Julia. They are fitted on her, not loose or skin tight. Julia really seems to be very low-key and knows how to avoid the paparazzi. She is rarely spotted out by them and she is one of the biggest stars ever. You can click here to purchase Earnest Sewn Jeans from their website.
Julia Roberts in J Brand
Julia Roberts posed for a few pictures for the paps outside The Ed Sullivan Theater for 'The Late Show' with David Letterman Show in New York City yesterday. Julia was wearing a pair of J Brand Lexington boot leg jeans in Pure wash. I think she looks really good in these jeans! It's nice to see celebs out of skinny jeans and opting for flared legs! It's a refreshing change!
Is anyone going to watch her new movie Eat Pray Love? It looks really interesting but I don't think it's my kind of movie. I love Julia though, I think she is a great actress! What's your favourite movie that she has been in? I still love Pretty Woman. Buy these Lexington jeans at J Brand for $167.

In my spastic, overwhelmed attempt to be organized, this sort of dish is perfect for the holidays. It can be made the day before, baked half way, and then crisped up the rest of the way right before serving. It's relatively uncomplicated, as long as you find lots of chopping soothing as I do, and, filled with wonderful veggies and fruits, it's a healthy addition to your holiday table as well. It was the secret star of thanksgiving, to be sure... And begs a repeat for Chanukah or Christmas.
Swiss Chard Bread Dressing
Adapted from Bon Appetit November 2012
Preheat oven to 250°. Butter a 13x9x2-inch baking dish; set aside. Soak raisins in 1 cup broth in a small bowl for 30 minutes.
Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool and transfer to a very large bowl.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add Swiss chard leaves and cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Add to bowl with bread.
Heat 4 tablespoons oil and 1/4 cup SmartBalance Light in same skillet; add onions and garlic. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and sugar; cook until vinegar is almost evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Add onion mixture to chard in bowl. Add raisins with broth, olives, and next 5 ingredients; gently fold into bread mixture until thoroughly combined. Drizzle in 1 cup broth and toss gently. Let cool completely.
Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk remaining 1 cup broth and eggs in a small bowl. Gently fold into dressing until thoroughly com-bined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read ther- mometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°, about 40 minutes. Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Uncover; let cool. Cover; chill.
Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer.

A masculine premier cru of firm full body and robust tannic structure, this wine shows rich, vigorous wild cherry and blackberry fruit on the palate with pronounced impressions of earth and ferrous minerals.
"Good medium red. Highly nuanced nose combines red fruits, tobacco, leather, dried flowers and Asian spices. At once dense and fine-grained, with considerable depth and power. Opens out impressively on the back half, finishing with considerable tannic support and a kick of raspberry and spice flavor. This is stuffed with fruit." 92 PointsInternational Wine CellarMarch/April 2008
"The Jadot 2005 Pommard Rugiens offers aromatic notes of tart blackberry, pungent wood smoke and hints of vanilla and caramel from new wood. Once again we have a Pommard of formidable intensity but for now at least, it is a little lacking in charm. The finish is long on smoke, stones and minerals, but tart fresh berry, bitter herbs and pungent spices also put in strong showings." 88-90 PointsWine AdvocateJune 2007

The first conference committee on the topic is about to start, on the topic of a sales tax. The vehicle is H.B. 277. The House has appointed Vance Smith, Donna Shelton and Calvin Smyre as conferees. The Senate should match that any minute.
But an impasse could be building on the topic of governance. S.B. 200, a revised bill backed by Sonny Perdue, would put transportation planning and policy under control of the governor.
In return, all transportation funding would pass through the General Assembly, and lawmakers would be able to earmark up to 20 percent of all transportation funding — $400 million of current spending — for their chosen projects. That's a sweetened spending pot. The original Perdue bill gave lawmakers say-so over only 10 percent.
But after passing the House Transportation Committee on Friday, S.B. 200 failed to make a House supplemental calendar this afternoon, possibly indicating a disappointing whip count. It will come to the House floor on Wednesday at the earliest.
This is critical, because this morning Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) declared that, without a "governance" bill, he couldn't vote for any bill that would lead to increased funding for transportation.
"I'm very fearful of moving forward with any funding plan, if there's not a governance plan," Rogers said at a press conference. "We have tried this over last six years, putting zillions of dollars into transportation, and we have not seen good results."
When a reporter pointed out that Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle had stood at the same microphone a week earlier and declared the two issues separate, Rogers back-pedaled, but only slightly.
"I think what the lieutenant governor was trying to say is, the form of the governance bill is not going to be tied to the form of the finance bill," Rogers said. "But you need to have governance before you have transportation financing."
At the same press conference, Senate President pro tem Tommie Williams (R-Lyons) was less insistent on uniting the two: "I'm not tying [governance] to a funding bill. Whether it gets tied to a funding bill, that's not what we're promoting."
Williams' basic message was that the House plan for a statewide sales tax wouldn't sell in his chamber. "The house has to understand we don't have the votes for a statewide tax," he said.
Minutes later, the pro-transportation coalition known as Get Georgia Moving held a press conference in the Capitol rotunda to make it known that they were in favor of anything — as long as the Legislature did something.
"We're here to support all of our legislators and their willingness to compromise," said Doug Hertz, CEO of United Distributors and co-chair of the coalition.
The group also released a survey (426 surveyed, 5% MOE) conducted by InsiderAdvantage, again showing strong support for a sales tax directed at clearing up traffic congestion.
An analysis of the poll by IA CEO Matt Towery indicated stronger support than a similar survey conducted for Get Georgia Moving earlier this year. "[The] biggest shift has come from Republican respondents who at one time were far less enthusiastic about such legislation, but now support it at nearly a 60 percent level."
One of the questions that must be answered is whether a voter-approved statewide sales tax, or voter-approved regional sales tax, is the best way to go. The House favors the former, the Senate favors the latter.
Neither Hertz nor Bill Linginfelter, a bank executive and the coalition's other chairman, would step in between. "We could live with either," Hertz said. "We're trying to stay above the fray and let them come to a solution."
But when it came to "governance" or a sales tax resolution — any resolution — the answer was different.
"Funding without appropriate governance is silly. Having appropriate governance with nothing to govern is also silly. There's no question that they're both important. What we're really here to talk about is timing. Timing over funding is imperative. We've got time to work out the governance side. We don't have time to wait on getting funding passed," Herz said.
Two Democrats, Smyre and House Minority Leader DuBose Porter of Dublin were the only two lawmakers who attended the press conference of the Get Georgia Moving Coalition. They stood in front with coalition members.
"Governance, quite frankly, we're not as worried about. What we are worried about is getting a funding bill," said Porter, a likely candidate for governor in 2010. "That's got to be done this year, because of what it says to the rest of the world — much less the rest of the country. Does Georgia have the political will to fix its transportation problem? It's not who controls it, it's whether we can fix transportation."
Smyre said something similar: "At this stage of the game, three years running, we can't come up with a statewide transportation plan. I think that has serious repercussions as it relates to economic development. States contiguous to us are going to have a field day."
The two Democrats thought they would be able to keep a third transportation issue — state permission for MARTA to use all current sales taxes collected in DeKalb and Fulton counties for operations — from being bogged down in negotiations over governance and the statewide-regional tax debate.

From the LTA coach education resource...
Ball Characteristic: Height
• Path:
A more level path will keep the ball on the same height. A low to high path will send the ball higher. A high to low path will send the ball lower.
• Angle:
Opening the racket face angle will send the ball higher. Closing it more will send the ball lower.
• Speed:
Increasing the racket speed can also increase the height of a shot if the racket face and path are angled 45 degrees or above. Decreasing the speed lowers the height of the ball.
Characteristic: Topspin
The amount of topspin can be increased or decreased by changing:
• The racket path
(a more upward path will increase the spin)
• The racket speed at impact
(more racket speed, will increase the amount of topspin)
(Language is simplified (as tennis coaches are a bit simple
) but is based on research evidence from Cambridge University Cavendish Laboratory and the Institute of Physics)

Great work
This really helped me and many beginners out there. Thanks for mentioning the things that should be in MX, it really helped me, because I use MX pro. Its understandable because you illustrate how-to-do-that, wheres-that-button.. etc.. and it should be. (Too bad I'm using MX so I had to find out where all those stuff is.)
I gave 10 to Graphics 'coz it illustrates things you must do.
10 to style 'coz its an easy way of learning.
5 to sound 'coz its fine.. but not necessary.
10 to interactivity because the user/viewer can relate on the work.

Nice tutorial
It was good, but I'm wondering how do you get the scores from a quiz added automatically. For example Im making a quiz if the person gets three questions wrong at the end of a 10 question quiz how do i get it to say they got 7/10.
Any help would be appreciated, good work on this tutorial as well.

Half the footpaths in Britain are still closed, despite advice from scientists, government and anyone else with a pulse that walkers do not spread foot-and-mouth.
Foot and mouth tape barrier
Why? An Independent article which interviews many of those involved points to a reluctance of Tory-controlled councils to open up paths which they never liked having anyway. The councils say that it's not that at all - though quite what it is, they can't say.
Our advice is that if footpaths are closed in an area which does not suffer foot-and-mouth, make a big noise about it with the council; and us. Email us any time.

Today we had ms. Catalina Taylor appear for a wonderful time. She's a scorching hot Chica with full package. Ms. Catalina has wonderful ass and titties and a pretty face to go together with them. At the pool, she got drenched and naughty, while she performed a striptease. Then it was right to a blowjob as well as wild sex.

One of Mansfield's most important historical landmarks isn't visible to the untrained eye.Hidden within the walls of the mostly brick, two-story house at 604 W. Broad St. is a tiny log cabin built in the 1860s by Mansfield co-founder Ralph Man for his family. Aside from the 1977 Texas Historical Marker in the front yard, the only evidence of the hard, hewn log planks can be glimpsed through a missing clapboard or two in the front wall of the home that Man later built around the cabin, expanding as needed over the years."It's amazing how few people know that it's there," said Scott Ringnald, a Fort Worth resident who bought the Man homestead two years ago.That could change soon, thanks to Ringnald, local history enthusiasts and the city of Mansfield, which paid Ringnald $400,000 -- he called it a discounted price -- for the house, barn and the 16 acres of mostly natural land that backs up to Walnut Creek."I think it's perfect, exactly what should have been done," said Vern Raven, coordinator of the Mansfield Historical Museum and Heritage Center. "Now the city owns the founder's home, and they can take care of it and do what's right."Until now, history boosters relied mostly on obscurity, a chain of benevolent private ownership and the modest protections afforded a state and federally recognized historical landmark.Under city ownership, the tentative plan is to tie the back of the property to the ongoing development of the Walnut Creek Linear Park. The property could serve as a trail head to the park with a trail directing patrons through the property and to the creek, once the main trails and other amenities are extended west from the Main Street overpass. So far, most of the funding and work has been focused on the eastern section of the 10-mile park, which eventually will extend from the city's west boundary to Joe Pool Lake on the east.Assistant City Manager Chris Burkett said it's too soon to say how the house will be presented to the public, whether it will be staffed and open for visitors or made available only for walk-by viewing of the house and pole-mounted Texas Historical Marker."We don't know quite yet," Burkett said. "We just know we had an opportunity to preserve some of the history of one of the founders. We want to protect it and preserve it."He said the Mansfield Parks Facilities Development Corporation Board, which administers a half-cent sales tax for park projects, could end up buying some of the property from the city to develop its link to the future linear park.Ann Smith, a member of the Zoning Board of Adjustments who has worked on numerous historical preservation projects, said she was a little surprised the city bought the property, even though it was partly her idea."When I heard it was for sale, I wrote to a couple council members because I thought that historic house as a jumping off point to the linear trail would be a perfect fit," Smith said. Even though that could be years away, she said, "You've got to pick up these pieces when they become available, which is not that frequently."Ralph Man was a South Carolinian who came to Texas in about 1850. He met Julian Feild, who would help him found the township and become the other half of Mansfield's namesake, according to the Mansfield Historical Society's tome, "The History of Mansfield, Texas Mid-1800 to 1965." (The "s" was added and the "ei" inverted to make the spelling less confusing, local historians have said. Their names are misspelled as Mann and Field even on the historical marker at the Man homestead.)The two men built the state's first steam-powered mill on land currently at the southeast corner of Main Street and Broad Street, according to the history book, which also cites the Man house as the first Mansfield building to earn a Texas Historical Marker. It was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places in May 2003, now among six Mansfield sites so honored.The history book gives two accounts of the origins of Man's log cabin. One said he started it in 1855 "and added the brick rooms and porch later." The other said work began in 1866 and was completed in 1870. The book said the log cabin "contains examples of his excellent woodworking ability, with a black walnut mantelpiece and spiral stairway made from trees cut on Walnut Creek."Ringnald said his research of the founders' exploits and whereabouts indicates construction likely began in the latter period.Ringnald, who was in the insurance trade for 30 years until he sold his business in 2008, said he bought the property two years ago from Henry Chism, who he said had owned it since 1968. Ringnald decided to sell now, he said, because he wants to devote more time to his other historic property, the J.H. Wright House a few blocks over at 302 W. Broad St. "I'm going to put a little more attention into it and probably take it up to a commercial level," he said, probably as a "first-class restaurant."Although he never lived at the house -- he spends most of his time on his 15,000-acre Hamilton ranch -- he has tried to be a student of its history and the works of the city's co-founders."I think it's absolutely significant to both Mansfield and Tarrant County," Ringnald said, adding he was glad he could work out a deal with the city. "I came off my price, and they gave a fair price for it."

The more I play, the more i have a hard time being sympathetic to the guild in question. If they put it in the public spot, and somebody actually takes it, it's not a crime. What else is the guild bank for? My horde-side guild has a public and private tabs, and we really wouldn't bat an eye if somebody decided to loot everything in the public tabs, its all just junk anyway. If we were a BT raiding guild and stuck all of our HODs and VCs there, then obviously that's a concern. But for a leveling guild? Don't care.
Here's a hint. Don't put anything in the guild bank that you plan on using again, or getting any sort of value or profit from. Time and again I would give pats to our guild JCs just to see them stop playing or transfer servers or what not. Now if I find a pattern I sell it on AH and give the guild the gold.

OAK gets OK to build Il-96
Russia's new airframing consortium OAK has won government approval to continue limited production of widebody airliners. This covers assembly of 15 Ilyushin Il-96s in the 2008 to 2012 time frame, allowing the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association (VASO) to maintain annual production rates of three aircraft. The government approval is necessary for Ilyushin's leasing group, and airline customers to have access to low-cost state-backed financing.
"We will maintain low rate Il-96 production for awhile," said OAK president Aleksei Fedorov, "although we understand that this type loses out somewhat to modern Boeings and Airbuses on fuel burn and operational economics."
Ilyushin general director Victor Livanov told Aviation International News that "the Il-96 has been leading a hard life and its future is not any brighter." One of the model's fundamental problems is that, like similar four-engine jetliners, it inevitably burns significantly more fuel than modern twinjet alternatives such as the Airbus A330 and Boeing 777.
Nonetheless, OAK and Ilyushin Finance still hope to sell or lease all the new Il-96s as they sell for around half the price of comparable Western rivals.
Fedorov also confirmed that OAK is committed to developing a new widebody model that would be optimized for short to medium ranges–replacing the Il-86. In fact, the concept for the "Il-86 Next Generation" might find support from EADS and its Airbus subsidiary. The European manufacturer, seen as a likely strategic partner for OAK, almost certainly would rather have Russians focusing on this market niche than see the A320 family encroached on by China's proposed MS-21.
At the same time, according to Russian negotiators, Airbus refuses to accept Russia's desire for a leading role in a successor to the A320. Instead, the European airframer is offering Russia the chance to focus on a new aircraft program that would be either smaller or larger. The Il-86NG would fill a niche that would have been filled by the now-abandoned A330-100/500.
Chinese Interest
China may also be a supporter of the Il-86NG. That country's aerospace industry has its own plans for a so-called "Big Airplane" project, with the current iteration envisioning a 200- to 250-seater, just above the A320 family. The People's Republic has said that it will insist on a leading role in any such program, in the event that the Chinese government gives the AVIC I corporation approval to launch it.
Discussions on possible cooperation on the "Big Airplane" have been under way for almost two years under the auspices of the Sino-Russian Interstate Commission on Civil Aviation. With the help of Russian specialists, a special Chinese "brainstorming" group independent of AVIC I is determining design targets for the future transport. Product specifications are expected late this year or early next.
It is believed that the group is shaping a trunk-liner concept with capacity of between 200 and 250 seats to serve China's rapidly growing domestic network. The A321 is considered too small for the job, while all recent Airbus and Boeing widebody designs are optimized for long-haul flights.
The Chinese aircraft would have a maximum range of just over 2,700 nm and would be designed for short-cycle, fast-turnaround operations. Russia has offered China the Il-96 as a base platform for the new jet, which tentatively has been designated the Il-98. The new design would shed two of the Il-96's four engines while keeping the Il-96-300 fuselage and making it lighter.

I have a few channels that I always watch, so I know their numbers. The other day, I wanted to see what was on Epix in the guide without changing channels. I could not figure out an easy way to do this. I went to search, entered Epix, saw that is was 394 (I may be mis remembering the actual number), exited search, went to the guide, entered 394, and saw what was on. I really would like to be able to search by channel name in the guide. Is this possible and I just do not know how to do it?

Warren Buffet in NYT op-ed: "We mega-rich should not continue to get extraordinary tax breaks while most Americans struggle to make ends meet." "My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice."

Origins News Roundup for August 20, 2014
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
From Babel to Understanding
We feel that the long-term efforts by ForumC to bring these different factions together are beginning to bear fruit. Where the atmosphere at the first conference was at times tense, this second conference was perceived by all those present as more relaxed and open. The willingness to concede past? errors and the problems involved in the respective positions taken was one clear sign of this.
Surprised by Snow Globes
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Faith after Literalism: An Interview with Michael Gungor
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
What Do the Arts Have to Do with Evangelism?
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution" (13 entries)
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Breaking Down False Dichotomies in Dayton
The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
Origins News Roundup for July 23, 2014
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
No Place Like Home: An interview with ECF grantee Seung-Hwan Kim
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Not So Dry Bones: An interview with Mary Schweitzer
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
Series: On Creating the Cosmos, by Ted Peters (9 entries)
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
Series: Belief in God in a World Explained by Science (3 entries)
Origins News Roundup for July 9, 2014
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
Series: Seeing God in Everyday Work (2 entries)
The Christian Reformed Church votes to support scholarship on human origins
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (19 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Series: Evolution Basics (48 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
From Cosmos to Psyche: The 2014 ASA/CSCA/CiS Annual Meeting
We are interactive human beings with a capability and a need to connect with others. Those connections can be through electronic or written means but nothing can replace the need for direct personal engagement. Our annual meetings continue to provide that interaction in an environment of open discussion and often vigorous debates.

Retro Cassette Tote bag …Retro rhapsody!
I am completely bowled over by the Retro Cassette Tote bag. It is such a cool thing to sport. It's big, basic and a very inventive idea especially the brown handles that look like unraveled cassette tape. It's a great thing to carry in the world of CD's, iPods and MP3 players and is a great revival piece. This tote comes with a printed cassette design on a flexible plastic fabric and I cant say it is here to stay as it is one of the hottest grabs and you better get your hand on it, the sooner the better.
