It's been a long time since I've posted...blame the hormones! The good news is that I survived pregnancy and have a healthy, (mostly) happy baby girl. Since the last post on vegan pregnancy, I ended up switching brands on all my supplements, ventured into the world of maternity clothes and dealt with the lack of vegan food options during a hospital stay (didn't get to have the natural birth I wanted due to baby's positioning).
I switched to Rainbow Light Prenatal One Multivitamin after realizing I was having a reaction to the chamomile in the Deva brand prenatal. I really like the Rainbow Light multivitamin and am still taking now, since I'm breastfeeding. It's coated, so it's easier to swallow than other similarly large pills. I also like that it's a food-based vitamin. Doesn't have a weird taste either.
For the DHA, I currently take Ovega-3, which is actually is an EPA and DHA combination supplement. Reason for the switch? It's more economical to take one Ovega-3 rather than two of the DHA pills I was taking before.
Also, I have been taking alfalfa tablets since the third trimester. It was highly recommend by the group of midwives I was seeing to reduce postpartum bleeding. I also read somewhere (sorry, no link) that it fortifies breastmilk, so I'm continuing to take it. Only the tablets are vegan. I was unable to find alfalfa in vegetable-based capsules. You should be cautious when taking alfalfa tablets as a vegan though! It's basically like taking fiber pills.....you get the idea.
As for maternity clothes, it's not hard to find vegan items. The only non-vegan item I encountered was wool coats, and there are probably some wool maternity sweaters out there too. I never bought a maternity coat because one coat I already owned miraculously fit all the way through pregnancy, and I even wore it to the hospital on baby's birth day. If you don't mind the "puffy" down-alternative style coats, they can work well in pregnancy if they are short enough and have elastic to adjust the size. All my long coats didn't fit around my bump, but I occasionally wore them unbuttoned (weather permitting).
Surprisingly, some of my favorite clothes weren't maternity clothes. Jersey knit shirts easily stretch over a growing baby bump and snap back into shape in the wash. As for actual maternity shirts, those with ruching on the sides will fit throughout pregnancy depending on the brand and shirt material. Yoga pants are probably your best friend in pregnancy, but if you need to look presentable, I recommend wearing full panel jeans or pants late in pregnancy or skirts with a wide, soft, stretchy waistband. In the first half of pregnancy, the hair tie trick does wonders.
If you want to be more environmentally friendly in purchasing maternity clothes or want to save money, then buying secondhand is worth considering. I even found used maternity clothes online (at thredUP), but I didn't like everything I bought. Some clothes didn't fit right, and some items didn't look as good on me as I was hoping, so definitely use caution if going the online route. That being said, I did really like a few of the items I bought, including a black dress and a gray hoodie.
If you're lucky, you might have a secondhand store nearby that sells maternity or have a friend/family member that wears the same size who will let you borrow their maternity clothes. For anyone in the Lawrence, KS area, Doodlebugs is a great option. It's a babies/kids store, but they also sell some maternity clothes.
Feel free to leave me your vegan pregnancy questions, and I'll try my best to answer them!

A good front-page headline, Monkey was taught, should leave out just enough information that you feel compelled to buy the paper and read the story. Today's Daily Express demonstrates the principle with enthusiasm. "THE £77.50 PASSPORT", screams its splash. £77.50! It's an outrage, obviously. But there is no subhead to tell us whether the outrage is (i) that decent, hard-working Britons must pay that much (steep, but less than the sort of figures thrown around during the ID cards controversy) or (ii) that evil foreigners can get a fake one for that little. So you have to buy the paper. If you'd rather not, however, the answer is (i).

Addison Road
- Saturday, March 01, 2008
- This Could Be Our Day
- All That Matters
- Sticking With You
- Hope Now
- Start Over Again
- It Just Takes One
- Always Love
- Casualties
- Run
- What Do I Know of Holy
We all love a good underdog story, so it's hard not to root for Addison Road. The Dallas-based band has been working the indie circuit since 2001 before finally signing a record deal with INO—a tribute to the power of perseverance. After three independent albums and a slew of tour dates to their credit, the expectations are high for "the little band that could" now that they have a bigger budget and better production values. All the ingredients are here—standout vocals from frontwoman Jenny Simmons, radio-friendly pop hooks, meaningful lyrics for teens and young adults. Yet there's still something lacking about this self-titled effort.
Instead of favoring the more experimental musical palette of albums past (see 2005's Always Loved You EP), the band opts for a conventional pop/rock sound that doesn't distinguish Addison Road from its peers. Someone could have told me that mid-tempo opening track "This Could Be Our Day" was the latest Superchic[k] single, and I would have been none the wiser. That ho-hum first impression thankfully improves with the band's first single, "All That Matters," a sassy rally cry against our appearance-obsessed society. Much like Gavin DeGraw's breakout hit "I Don't Want to Be," Simmons confidently sings the praises of a life that goes against the grain by living according to Christ's teachings.
Unfortunately that welcome burst of energy doesn't last long once the faux-rock anthem "Sticking With You" kicks into gear. Filled with one yawn-worthy cliché after the next, the song is in desperate need of an extreme makeover—lyrically and otherwise. Despite counter-cultural (albeit predictable) musings in "Casualties" and "It Just Takes One" later on, Addison Road plays it much too safe to really make much of a memorable impact. Instead of embracing the scrappy and creative underdog spirit of a band who's fought so hard to make it, Addison Road takes the well-traveled road, making their debut just another so-so effort with a positive message. They're capable of much more than this.

Add the oil, then the steaks, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary so that the oil stays hot but does not smoke.

Before & After: Cassity Steps Up Her Staircase
A staircase in the entry was a selling point for Cassity, but the builder basic quality left much to be desired. She decided to make the steps worthy of their prime location. Check out the results:
From Cassity:
Having a staircase in our entry was one of the features I liked about our new house, but the builder grade finishes, worn carpet and cramped entry really bothered me. I decided to take matters into my own hands one day and pulled up a corner of the carpet, only to be greatly disappointed by the layers of plaster, huge gaps on the edges, and the fact that they just used structural lumber instead of nice stair treads. But since we love a challenge we decided to try to update it anyway.
We reused almost 90% of the stairs, keeping the budget under $150 for the whole transformation, although the work was pretty involved to fix all the issues we found! Looking back it was worth every second, to get the transformation that we did!
For more photos and details, check out Cassity's blog, Remodelaholic.
Thanks, Cassity!

150 dollars?!?!?! WELL DONE!
$150.... I'm almost not sure I believe it. At the very least, it was over $150 if you include all the surrounding changes that highlighted the new stairs (new paint, fresh new flooring, etc.) Still, VERY WELL DONE.
Wow! What a difference. Well done!
I think you just raise your house value by $$$. I love it!
wow. tremendous!
Aaah. The stairs can breathe! Beautiful!
But most importantly, what does the cat think?
Exactly, Michael W. I love how the cat's giving the photographer the cold shoulder in the 1st pic. I wanted to see his face in the 2nd pic!
Back to on topic, beautiful transformation.
Wow! I'm dumbstruck. :)
Nice work!!!!
Fantastic. So much more modern.
Wow, kudos to you!
Stunning and so impressive for the budget especially. You are a wizard!
Interesting how moving the ends of the railings up two steps really makes their entryway seem bigger, even though the stairs themselves are still there.
Really nice, I meant to add!
Just beautiful.
That was my thought, Michael W.: Where's the "after" cat?
$150... looks more like $500 to me... Stairs are super expensive. Great job!
I also think the "after" is beautiful. What gorgeous wood!
The cat is missing because he slipped down the varnished stairs one too many times.Wood is beautiful, but slippery for stairs. Even more dangerous when you remove the hand rail near the bottom steps. Beautiful, but not always practical.
Now THAT's an impressive staircase. The $150 is for materials, not for the many gallons of Acme Elbow Grease that had to be purchased. I do have to admit that shiny wood stairs are beautiful, you can't use them in stocking feet (the stair treads were a bit hard on this writers bum after said feet want to take more than one step at a time).
I cannot stop going from the before to the after photo. how beautiful
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
Really impressive; whatever the cost. But, I hope that 'blue' at the top is artwork & not the wall. It's really NOT working for me. Great staircase upgrde.
Wow! I would love to know the cost of the project, though.
ashley erin mayer
I'm sure the cat was a big help. :)
He looks like he might have directed the whole renovation? :)
This is fantastic.
As far as I'm concerned they added thousands to the resale value with this, Great Job
Wow! I've got a similar staircase in my entryway that I've been DYING to redo just like yours but I've been worried about $$$. SO JEALOUS you completed this for $150. I'm going to start looking into options right this second! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Love it! This gives me so much hope in case we find ourselves in a newer/blander home in the future. I love the character of our 1940's tudor, but it's small and the age worries my husband in case of possible kiddos...
WTF, $150??? It looks beautiful. Any amount of labor would be worth that kind of savings. I can't freakin' believe the skills the would be required to make that kind of dramatic change for a price nearly anyone can afford.
Well done. And for only $150. I'm impressed.
Beautiful! We also have wooden stairs, but remember - shoes or bare feet only, and be careful with wet bare feet.
KFair + 1. Truly flipping amazing job.
Looks beautiful, what I transformation. I love the open steps at the bottom. My only suggestion is to caulk the pillar thing on the right.
Not a fan of the bathroom tile on the upper part of the wall, but I absolutely LOVE the stairs!!
The new stairs are awesome but need the cat to approve!
The stairs look beautiful. However they wouldn't be practical for someone elderly or someone like me with arthritis, who needs to hang onto a railing to make it up even the first step. Also I would think the corner of the stair that juts out would be easy to trip over or stub your toe on.
Sorry for being a sour puss!
Nice stairs, but I agree with BlueWillow. I don't think they're to code.
a giant improvement!
There is a difference between a handrail and a guardrail. I would stop the top cap of the guardrail at the wall, and then add a graceful wrought-iron handrail all the way down the stair well to the bottom treads. Have it be all artistic at the bottom, but sturdy and useful. I, too, have creaky knees and wobbly hips and need assistance from time to time.
The other thing about the stairs that looked a little odd was how small the tread overhang was - it's usually around 1", and here it appears to be 1/4".
Other than that - GORGEOUS! And a huge improvement.
Shut UP!
Holy wow. You are awesome!
So elegant and the best part is no more vacuuming the stair carpeting!!
Wow, what a great transformation.
totally classic
Five words: please come to my house!
Having just stripped, stained, refinished and painted my floors over the past four days, I can really appreciate this transformation. Excellent work!
It's like, I want to love this? But there are so many things going on. Sand colored walls + fresh white + visually complex architectural detailing + contrasting color handrail + very busy (tile?) upper hallway wall + wood texture/color + weirdly contrasting entry closet door. I think we can see the possibly sky blue paint in the living room from the entry as well? It just makes for a lot of visual clutter for me. With some tweaking to make it more cohesive (and a bit of caulk on the right column) it would be magnificent.
Gorgeous! And moving up the railing was an excellent idea as well.

Very nice info and straight to the point. I don't know if this is actually the best place to ask but do you folks have any ideea where to hire some professional writers? Thank you :)
Hello, - stumbled on your current site by chance while roaming around the web this morning, and delighted that I did! I like the page structure and colours, but I really should point out that I'm having difficulty when it loads. I'm using ELinks 0.10 browser for mac, and the side panel would not line up nicely. i am sure applied the equivalent design on a client's online site, but the menu seems Ok on mine. I have an idea the fault is with my outdated browser & I'm guessing it is time to swap!

ice breaker
An icebreaker is a special purpose ship or boat designed to move and navigate through ice-covered waters. Although this article mainly discusses icebreaking ships, the term can refer to smaller vessels (e.g., icebreaking boats that were used on the Canals of Great Britain in the days of commercial carrying).
For a ship to be considered an icebreaker it requires three components: a strengthened hull, an ice-clearing shape, and the power to push through, none of which are possessed by most normal ships.
To pass through ice-covered water, an icebreaker uses its great momentum and power to drive its bow up onto the ice, breaking the ice under the immense weight of the ship. Because a buildup of broken ice in front of a ship can slow it down much more than the breaking of the ice itself, the speed of the ship is increased by having a specially designed hull to direct the broken ice around or under the vessel . The external components of the ship's propulsion system (propellers, propeller shafts, etc.) are at even greater risk of damage than the vessel's hull, so the ability for an icebreaker to propel itself onto the ice, break it, and successfully clear the debris from its path is essential for its safety.
Historypolar exploration, ice-strengthened ships were used. These were originally wooden and based on existing designs, but reinforced, particularly around the waterline with double planking to the hull and strengthening cross members inside the ship. Bands of iron were wrapped around the outside. Sometimes metal sheeting was placed at the bows, stern and along the keel. Such strengthening was designed to help the ship push through ice and also to protect the ship in case it was "nipped" by the ice. Nipping occurs when ice floes around a ship are pushed against the ship trapping it as if in a vice and causing damage. This vice-like action is caused by the force of winds and tides on ice formations. Although such wind and tidal forces may be exerted many miles away, the ice transmits the pressure.
It is supposed that the first steam-powered icebreaker had been built in Kronstadt, Russia in 1864. The icebreaker was known as Pilot.
At the beginning of the 20th Century several countries began to operate purpose-built icebreakers. Most were coastal icebreakers, but Russia and later the Soviet Union also built several oceangoing icebreakers of around 10,000 tonnes displacement. Several technological advances were introduced over the years, but it was not until the introduction of nuclear power in the Soviet icebreaker Lenin in 1959 that icebreakers developed their full potential.
Function of icebreakersIcebreakers are needed to keep trade routes open where there are either seasonal or permanent ice conditions. Icebreakers are expensive to build and very expensive to run, whether the icebreaker is powered by gas turbines, diesel-electric powerplant or nuclear energy. They are uncomfortable to travel in on the open sea: almost all of them have thick, rounded keels, and with no protuberances for stability, they can roll even in light seas. They are also uncomfortable to travel in when breaking through continuous thick ice due to constant motion, noise, and vibration.
A modern icebreaker typically has shielded propellers both at the bow and at the stern, as well as side thrusters; pumps to move water ballast from side-to-side; and holes on the hull below the waterline to eject air bubbles, all designed to allow an icebreaker stuck amidst thick ice to break free. Many icebreakers also carry aircraft (formerly seaplanes and now helicopters) to assist in reconnaissance and liaison.
Recent advances
The shape optimal for moving through ice makes icebreakers uncomfortable in open water and gives them poor fuel efficiency.
Icebreakers tend to roll side to side to the discomfort of the crew. Some new icebreakers such as the USCGC Healy make use of anti-roll tanks. Anti-roll tanks use computer controlled pumps to rapidly shift ballast water side-to-side to keep the vessel upright.
A greater concern is how well a ship cuts through waves. The ability of a ship to cut through waves can greatly affect its fuel efficiency and even its safety in a storm. Most ships use a sharp or bulbous bow to cut through waves and help prevent waves from slamming the bow of the ship. However, icebreakers have a round sled-like bow. They tend to slam into waves, which can be a risk in high seas.
Recent advances in ship propulsion have produced new experimental icebreakers. Electrically driven propellers are mounted to steerable pods under the ship. These Azimuthing Podded Propulsors, or Azi-pods, improve fuel efficiency, ship steering, ship docking, and remove the need for rudders. Azipods also allow a ship to travel backwards as easily as it travels forwards. The double acting icebreaker is unique because its stern is shaped like an icebreaker's bow. Normally travelling forward, a double acting icebreaker uses a conventional ship bow for a more comfortable ride. When ice is encountered, the ship turns around and travels backwards through the ice. The MT Mastera and MT Tempera are two vessels using this new technology.
In the 1980s hovercraft were shown to be effective as icebreakers on rivers. Instead of displacing or crushing the ice from above, they work by injecting a bubble of air under the ice sheet, causing it to break off and be swept downstream by the current. The purpose is usually not to provide navigation channels, rather, to prevent ice dams from forming on bridge structures, thus damaging them and causing local flooding.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email
ADEL, GA (WALB) – A woman who authorities say assisted her husband in a deadly Cook County armed robbery spree has been sentenced to life in prison.
Billy Jo Treadaway entered a guilty plea Friday in Cook Superior Court to being a party to a crime in two separate armed robbery cases.
Her husband Jason received a life sentence last year for stabbing James "Buster" Statum to death with an ice pick during a robbery in May 2009 at Busters Game Room in Sparks.
Investigators say the couple then robbed the Mega Mart in Adel a short time later.
Billie Jo served as the get away driver in the crimes. The Treadaway's fully confessed to the GBI.
The victim's family was present at the hearing and was pleased with the sentence handed down.

Food diary: 22 March
A day on the road.
I really like eating in the car for some reason – I guess it's a sort of picnic type thing.
But I skipped breakfast – well, just a couple of coffees.
Lunch was a southern fried chicken sandwich, with Maltesers for dessert whilst watching the world of Cambridge walk by.
Dinner was a starter of smoked salmon canape treats, a healthy salad and a glass or three of Pinot Grigio .

Film screening
"We Live in Public." 9 p.m. March 1, Eyedrum, 290 MLK Jr. Drive, Atlanta. RSVP at email@example.com.
Fascinated by how technology and media affect social interaction and personal identity, webcast pioneer Josh Harris launched a social experiment in December 1999. Called Quiet: We Live in Public, the project required 100 artists move into an underground bunker in New York City to live, 24-7, under video surveillance for the viewing pleasure of voyeurs and curiosity seekers. On Jan. 1, 2000, FEMA proclaimed the project a "millennial cult" and shut it down.
So Harris devised a new project. He rigged his own loft with 32 cameras and began streaming video of himself and his girlfriend around the clock. The girlfriend ultimately left and Harris, some say, went a little bonkers.
"We Live in Public" is director Ondi Timoner's documentary about Harris and his projects. The 2009 Grand Jury Prize winner at Sundance will be screened 9 p.m. March 1 at Eyedrum.

I guess it depends on what you are doing. If you are a dps class trying to do the most dps, the socket bonus isn't usually worth it to go after if you could end up with more sp/ap by just putting in the largest gem of that type since for most classes stamina (for example) doesn't add anything to your dps. That being said, it doesn't really matter that much what you do until you are gearing up with stuff that is close to BiS, you are trying to squeeze out those last points of dps and you have maximized yourself skill wise. Before then you are probably still getting comfortable with rotation and priority so sticking in some cheap green gems and grabbing a socket bonus is fine.

FAIRBANKS, Ak-It was the last game the Nanooks played as a member of the CCHA conference. Even with a 4-3 loss in game three of the first round of the CCHA playoffs, it was a game to remember.
The Nanooks got on the board first with a power play goal by senior Andy Taranto. Fellow senior Nik Yaremchuk and freshmen Colton Parayko assisted on the goal. The Spartans, however, responded in a big way with four unanswered goals.
Approaching the halfway point of the first period Michigan State Captain matched Taranto with a power play goal of his own to tie at one a piece. Then much disliked Jake Chelios of the Spartans scored the go ahead goal just three minutes and 19 seconds into the second period. The Carlson Center silencing goal came just 32 seconds later by Matt Berry. It's 3-1 Spartans.
Then there was a 25 minute delay because a glass panel shattered rained down on UAF's Nolan Kaiser after he was checked into the side panel. Carlson Center crews came out to replace the glass and the Nanooks got some time to regroup. It reminded you of the Super Bowl given the stakes of this win or home situation and the fact that the Nanooks were down big.
After play commenced Michigan State continued their tear with another goal by Anthony Hayes just 34 seconds into the final period. Then the Nanooks made a dramatic San Francisco like rally. At the 17:30 mark of the third senior Jarret Granberg took it upon himself to get the Nanooks back in it with his unassisted goal cuting the three goal deficit to two. It's now 4-2 in favor of Michigan State until the Nanooks go empty net and use the extra skater to their advantage and score on senior captain Adam Henderson's put back. Henderson was assisted by Granberg and Yaremchuk.
The Nanooks had 31-26 shots on goal advantage but the laast few couldn't get past Michigan State goalie Jake Hidlebrand. The Nanooks furious comeback attempt fell short as chances and opportunties to tie the game were deflected and redirected away from the net by Hidelbrand and the Spartan defenders. Hidlebrand finihsed with 27 saves.
It was fitting to see that the seniors led the Nanooks in what is likey their final game of their college careers given that the Nanooks are 21st in the Pairwise Rankings.
The senior class was given a fond farewell from their teammates and UAF fans in a very emotional post game press conference.
The Nanooks final record for the 2012-2013 season was 17-16-4 and finished 12-13-3 in the last season as a CCHA member. Memorbale moments from this season include an upset over then number two North Dakota last October, a six game winning streak that included sweeps at Michigan and at Notre Dame and of course the fourth straight Governor's Cup victory over UAA.

The word "deductions" was used 14 times in last night's debate, but neither candidate specifically mentioned what our panel of economists suggested, eliminating the mortgage interest deduction and the deduction companies get for providing health-care to employees.
Three: Eliminate the corporate income tax. Completely. If companies reinvest the money into their businesses, that's good. Don't tax companies in an effort to tax rich people.
Four: Eliminate all income and payroll taxes. All of them. For everyone. Taxes discourage whatever you're taxing, but we like income, so why tax it? Payroll taxes discourage creating jobs. Not such a good idea.

A New Way to Monitor Kids on Facebook
Lori Getz: One of the biggest household controversies I come across (with regard to teen Internet and cell-phone use) is how to find a balance between protecting kids and giving them a modicum of privacy that may truly be deserved.
So I went on a mission and came across several terrific options. One of my favorites is Parental Guidance by GoGoStat, a new application that launches today within Facebook (just remember you got the inside scoop here). I like them so much I added them as a sponsor on my website.
While I have never been a proponent of spying on kids who don't deserved to be spied on, I am a supporter of setting expectations that help guide young people toward making appropriate decisions about their online use. Considering the numerous cases of cyberbullying and unwanted sexual solicitations that occur within social networking sites, it's no wonder parents are worried about how much access is appropriate for their children.
Parental Guidance found a middle ground. The application works like this:
1) The parent creates a Facebook account and "friends" their child(ren).
2) The parent adds the Parental Guidance application and sends a request to their child(ren) to add the application as well.
3) Once the child accepts the invitation, the application notifies the parent of status changes, new pictures, tagged photos, comments and posts that use certain language that may alert the parent to a cyberbullying incident or even a sexual solicitation.
4) The application allows for a lot of flexibility. The parent can choose from a list of rules; only when the chosen rules are broken will the parents be notified of the situation. Parents can also define their own rules, including acceptable age ranges, the posting of cell-phone numbers and other private data. NOT ALL CONVERSATIONS ARE MONITORED!
Parental Guidance is not spyware; it's a way for your kids to stay out of their own way!
In the past, I have given reasons why parents should NOT "friend" their children on Facebook, and I was always coming from the perspective of how children can trick parents into believing they are seeing it all when in fact kids can exclude their parents from seeing certain wall posts and pictures. They can even create two accounts: one for the family, and one for everyone else. But what I hadn't considered until finding Parental Guidance was how this could POSITIVELY impact the right kind of audience.
In my work, I talk to thousands of Facebook-using teens every year. For the most part, they are really good kids who don't MEAN to get into trouble. But many of them often find themselves in the midst of idle gossip, rumors and cyberbullying just because of the network of friends they are connected to. Peer pressure and the idea of anonymous exhibitionism often trumps good judgment and impulse control. When a group of a hundred seventh graders unanimously told me that the reason cyberbullying happens is because they don't think they will get caught, I realized something like Parental Guidance can help!
Teens need limitations, but at the same time, many of them deserve some privacy! The Parental Guidance application cannot be used unless both the parent and the child agree to use it. The Facebook settings will still allow kids to add their parents to a group that is excluded from seeing wall posts and pictures, so don't be fooled. Facebook settings trump Parental Guidance ... but the relationship between the parent and child trumps all!
GoGoStat Parental Guidance will give good kids an out. As my friend and colleague Marian Merritt explains it, "If your child ever receives a message from a friend that makes them uncomfortable or could draw them into a situation they do not want to be involved in, the best thing to do is to tell them not to respond to the message, and have them blame their lack of response on you or their dad. The next day at school, when the friend questions why your child did not respond, your child should simply say, 'Oh, my mom was using my computer last night. I didn't see the message.' That way, your child doesn't have to get involved -- and it lets the other person know that an adult may have seen the comment or post."
I see this software behaving the same way -- reminding kids to watch their manners, because a parent may be taking notes.
I know my daughter's log in & password. And no computers in bedrooms ~ computer is in the family room. She often volunteers to show me pics and funny groups and I often stop and look as I pass by. IMO, nothing - even a computer program - is better than good old hands on parenting. But be prepared, it takes time and effort.
I've been debating about letting my 11 year old get on Fbook - now I think I will since I can use the parental guidance app!
I'm curious… how does one block certain people from seeing your wall post? I always wondered how that worked? I hope you can help with this one!
Big Brother is watching…
And it's called a "Limited Profile" setting. You might be spying on your kid, but they are probably more tech savvy than you know and there's a number of ways to get around parental supervision on Facebook.
Way to show your teens that you trust them. Very glad that my mom had more faith in me than this when I signed up for Facebook way back in grade 8
Hi, - came across your website by pure luck whilst roaming across the net this evening, and glad that i did! I like the page structure and tones, but I ought to mention that I'm having difficulties when it loads. I'm making use of Camino 1 web browser for mac, and the menu block does not align as it should be. i'm sure employed the equivalent layout on a customer's website, but the menu seems okay on mine. I suspect the error is with my browser and I suppose today's the day to update!

But does Amazon have reason to sell your data, or to sell you stuff?
On a cause of corruption in popular governments. « Just Thomism
Linked with the last piece. I don't want this. It will not convince me that sharing this information with Facebook is worth what I'm getting out of it. The bargain isn't good enough for what I'm giving up.
I used Facebook initially to keep track of people from my freshman dorm the next year. I'd avoided getting one all of year long, but it dawned on me that I might lose track of people over the summer. That's it. That's the entire reason I got into using Facebook.
Now I also got swept up in a couple Facebook games/apps. But I since removed everything but the tumblr cross posting application. Nothing else. I even started this tumblr blog due to not wanting all my links to articles to be stuck inside Facebook. At this point the you might say that tumblr also is a social platform that tracks my every move. However, there are no ads for other products on it yet. I think that I'll eventually try to change over to a personally hosted blog at the point where I have more money. That's a big reason why I'm still on tumblr right now. It's free. If that changes, or the bargains I make with tumblr change too much I will leave.
I'm worried as well about twitter, but it hasn't done as much to force a lack of privacy beyond the initial bargain, yet. I tend to use third-party mobile apps to interact with it (tweetbot) and avoid the web interface at nearly any cost. I don't have location turned on for nearly anything. My cell phone already tells on me, and IP addresses take care of the rest, so theres no reason to make things any easier than they already are.
This Facebook is not what I ever wanted. If I knew then what I do now, I doubt I'd ever have joined Facebook to begin with.
PS. I think this also precludes me from moving over to G+ as well.
Not good news - though it isn't news at all. There's a reason why my Facebook page is so sparse, and why I've mostly been shifting away from using it. I'm even thinking I might make a new, private tumblr so that it's not indexed as easily by google and others.
However, then my friends say they won't be able to see as much of what I do as they're immersed in the Facebook regime with no clear way out or strong desire to do so.

This is amazing. You could never get something like this happening in the US these days. But I wish it could in many ways in order to provide a focused political eye on digital issues like intellectual property and privacy.
In Berlin, Pirates Win 8.9 Percent of Vote in Regional Races - NYTimes.com
So yeah, I was thinking about usernames just now. With the rate of adoption of new technologies being driven mostly by the youth, I just realized that as long as those youths are picking usernames based off of their last name, (i.e. @lastname, or last firstname.lastname@example.com, etc) their parents who will eventually (or not) be dragged along into this bright future will find their most memorable or searchable username/identifiers claimed by their children/cousins/stalkers/comedians. Just a random thought that occurred to me as I glanced at twitter.
Also that thing where young people have multiple accounts to quarantine their friends/parts of themselves, that takes up even more variants than the normal way, also dooming the older generations, or just normal adopters. Not that that's something I've had to deal with much…
Not much to add to this one.

Pastor Reilly Burned In NJ Catholic Church Rectory Fire
Posted: Updated:
PALISADES PARK, N.J. -- The longtime pastor of a Roman Catholic church in northern New Jersey has been seriously burned in a fire at the church rectory.
Officials say Reilly, who is in his early 70s and has health issues, was sleeping when the fire started.
Another priest heard the fire alarm and ran to Reilly's room. But the door was locked, so he called 911 and got the third priest to safety.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

FRIDAY, Oct. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Hispanic diabetes patients
who can't discuss their condition with a doctor in their own
language have poorer health, even when interpreter services are
available, a new study has found.
Researchers analyzed data from diabetes patients in California
and found that 28 percent of Hispanic patients with limited
English-language skills seen by non-Spanish-speaking doctors had
poor blood sugar control, compared with 16 percent who had
Spanish-speaking doctors.
There was no difference in blood sugar control between
English-speaking Hispanics and non-English-speaking Hispanics if
they had access to a doctor who spoke their language, the
investigators found.
Only 10 percent of white patients had poor blood sugar control,
said the researchers at the University of California, San
Francisco, and the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research.
"Diabetes is a complex disease that requires a high level of patient understanding and engagement for successful management. These patients may need direct communication with Spanish-speaking physicians to manage their disease appropriately," lead author Dr. Alicia Fernandez, a UCSF professor of medicine, said in a UCSF/Kaiser news release.
The United States is becoming linguistically more diverse and
the number of people with diabetes is rising, making it
increasingly important to understand how language barriers can
affect patient care, the researchers said.
The study findings were released online in advance of
publication in the January 2011 print issue of the
Journal of General Internal Medicine.
