Homeland security continues to be a top priority and a critical issue for local, state and the federal government as well as the corporate sector. It is predicted that in the next decade, homeland security will be the largest government employer. As America continues to face threats, the need for professionals with applied knowledge, solid skills and practical experience will increase.
Towson University's Master of Science degree in Integrated Homeland Security Management and Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Security Assessment and Management is specifically designed to prepare qualified practitioners to fulfill this critical workforce need. Graduates of the program will possess proficiency in:
Towson University's Master of Science in Integrated Homeland Security Management balances broad-based knowledge with specific areas of specialization and an applied capstone experience. The program's core courses constitute the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Security Assessment and Management.
The Master's degree builds on this foundation by adding three areas of specialization in:
To further encourage a cross-disciplinary experience, students must take one course in each of the two areas outside of their own areas of specialization. And the extended project offers a practical problem-solving experience through work on an actual security assignment from a federal, state or local government agency or a private business. Project work begins midway through the program to facilitate collaboration, real-world skill development and a solid basis for moving into a career in homeland security.
The entire Integrated Homeland Security Management program is delivered online. The goal of the online program is to provide students all the necessary resources at their finger tips. Students participate in online classroom discussions and review class materials whenever they choose. The university utilizes Blackboard web as the learning platform for all online courses, so there is a consistent format from course to course. The application process and curriculum requirements for online learners are identical to those for students attending courses on Towson's campus.
The Order of the Sword & Shield National Honor Society is for the Homeland Security, Intelligence, Emergency Management and all Protective Security Disciplines, with more than 22 institutional chapters, 3 professional chapters, and a vibrant National Chapter, the Society has inducted academically superior students from over 50 schools across the country.

Jodi, this looks fantastic (no surprise though!). Your students are going to love this!! I can definitely understand the sewing thing--my mom's working on my classroom pillows this week ;) Good luck next week, what day do you start?ReplyDelete

Hello! First, I want to share that I have been so excited to have found your blog. This teacher has become too entrenched in her classroom and in need of some serious "declutterization." You have fantastic ideas that have inspired me to look at my own classroom in many new ways. Thank you!!ReplyDelete
Second, I just got home from Target where I picked up the same kind of storage ottomans! Another teacher in my building added them to her room this year and just loves their dual purpose. We started school a few weeks ago and it's been crazy with the chair shuffle in my room, but I think my kiddos will be thrilled with this cool & cozy addition.
I've been using my book nook area as my whole-group meeting area for a few years now, but seeing the photos of your room, I'm wondering what your thoughts are if these two spaces should be separate? I teach 3rd, but we do a lot with mini lessons and D5/Cafe.
Thank you so much for sharing so transparently all of your refreshing and practical ideas- I see a light at the end of my "no-more-clutter" tunnel! :)

Our colleagues down the hall at the San Francisco Examiner seem to have spoiled tonight's [Thu/30] fundraiser for David Chiu's Assembly race by reporting this hour [1]that the host, attorney Steven MacDonald, is on a housing activists' blacklist [2] for representing landlords in controversial Ellis Act evictions.
Reporter Chris Roberts quotes Chiu campaign manager Nicole Derse pleading ignorance about "what type of law Steven practices" and pledging to return a $500 campaign contribution from him in October, but saying that the 6pm fundraiser at John's Grill would go on nonetheless.
Derse told the Guardian that MacDonald represents a wide variety of clients, including many tenants who are fighting evictions, so the campaign decided to go ahead with the fundraiser but refused MacDonald's direct financial support, consistent with a pledge not to take money from those involved in evictions.
"We won't accept money from anyone who has been involved with evictions at all," Derse told us, saying it was a mistake to accept money from MacDonald but acknowledging the challenge of the "scrutiny and vetting involved for a small campaign."
"We'll do everything we can to make sure this doesn't happen again," she told us.
The controversy and the Chiu's campaign's quick decision to refuse the support from an early contributor show just how volatile and politically toxic the city's eviction and affordable housing crisis [3] have become, rapidly transforming the city's political dynamics. It also shows how information being made public by housing activists, and their new confrontational tactics [4], are being used within that changed realm.
Former Guardian Editor Tim Redmond had a story yesterday on his 48 Hills website [5] focusing on the heat that Sup. Scott Wiener is taking over the political contributions that he's received from real estate speculators and those involved in evictions, including Urban Green and speculator Ashok K. Gujral, who are among the Dirty Dozen serial evictors highlighted by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, whose work we been covering [6] for months here at the Guardian.
Below is an infographic of Supervisor Wiener's campaign contributions, created by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project:

The Adams County Sheriff Department is asking for the public's help in locating a man for whom they were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on earlier on Sunday night.
At approximately 5:00 p.m., the Sheriff Department received information that 26-year-old Wade Richard Crone was in a residence in the 1200 block of Master Drive in the city of Decatur. Crone is currently wanted for one count of Criminal Confinement, a Class D Felony through the Adams Superior Court.
According to Sheriff Rekeweg, a search warrant was applied for and obtained for the residence. It is believed that Crone is carrying multiple handguns and poses a threat to both the public and to law enforcement, and it was for this reason that he sought the assistance of the Indiana State Police Emergency Response Team to assist with the serving of the search warrant.
Between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m., members of the Emergency Response Team made entry into the residence and did not locate anyone inside of it. Sheriff Rekeweg is asking that anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Wade Richard Crone, who stands 5'10" tall and weighs 170 pounds with blonde hair, blue eyes and a tattoo on the left side of his neck, contact the Adams County Sheriff Department at (260) 724-5345 or Adams County Crimestoppers at (260) 692-2882.

Twins Bonnie McIlhoney (left) and Brenda LaConte faced difficult choices because they have the BRCA1 gene.
Brenda LaConte and Bonnie McIlhoney closely followed last May's media reports of Angelina Jolie's preventive double mastectomy after testing positive for the BRCA1 gene, which put the actress at high risk of breast cancer. For the fraternal twins, it was more than news. It was personal.
Like Jolie, both sisters, who share a house in Stratford, have the BRCA1 gene, a link to hereditary and ovarian cancer. Like the actress, the sisters faced and made difficult choices. But unlike Jolie, there were no headlines. Only quiet conversations with family and close friends.
The positive emotional and physical results of their difficult choices, especially the final step – breast reconstruction by Anke Ott-Young, MD, PhD, oncology plastic surgeon – led the sisters to heed the advice of their entire medical team at Bridgeport Hospital's Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center: Share your different journeys with other women.
A mammogram that wasn't routine The first journey began in June 2009. Brenda was diagnosed with breast cancer. "I had a routine mammogram and they found something in my left breast," she recalled. Her Ob/Gyn referred her to Mary Pronovost, MD, medical director of the hospital's Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center and breast cancer surgeon who partners with Dr. Ott-Young and whom Brenda met with first. Dr. Pronovost confirmed the diagnosis with a biopsy.
Shortly after, Brenda, accompanied by her sisters Bonnie and Sherri, met with Dr. Pronovost and Dr. Ott-Young at their office in Fairfield, part of the Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center. "I was given three options: a lumpectomy to remove the tumor, removing the entire breast or having bilateral mastectomies (removing the left breast to treat the existing cancer and the right as a preventive mastectomy)," said Brenda.
Knowing breast cancer took their mother at age 52 and that their grandmother died of ovarian cancer, Brenda chose bilateral mastectomies, which were performed in October 2009. Rounds of chemotherapy followed. "I just wanted to get rid of any chance of cancer," said Brenda about her decision.
Dr. Pronovost and Dr. Ott-Young completed the surgery and breast reconstruction the same day, a procedure that for other surgeons can often require several sessions.
"While we collaborated as early as 2000, our real partnership managing breast cancer began in 2006 when Dr. Ott-Young returned from a fellowship in Germany where she became familiar with oncoplastic techniques," explained Dr. Pronovost. "We worked together in incorporating these techniques, which allow many of our patients to have their mastectomies and immediate reconstruction in one setting."
"Another major advantage for our patients is having a dedicated breast center at Bridgeport Hospital, which most other hospitals do not," added Dr. Ott-Young.
Testing for the BRCA geneBrenda's diagnosis of breast cancer included another key step: genetic testing at the Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center in Fairfield. Did she carry the BRCA gene?
"Once a patient is diagnosed with breast cancer, we look at age, family history and tumor features to determine if gene testing is warranted," said Dr. Pronovost. Brenda qualified and was tested to help determine the best treatment plan, explained Dr. Pronovost.
Testing was done in the office, with the help of Sally Cascella, MAHSN, RN, senior nurse educator/navigator hereditary breast and ovarian cancer specialist, who is trained to counsel and educate patients about the BRCA mutations. The results were what Brenda feared – positive for BRCA1.
"Knowing she had the BRCA1 mutation helped Brenda chose the bilateral mastectomies," explained Dr. Pronovost. Her test results also created a ripple effect through the family. Bonnie quickly agreed to testing, along with their brother Vinny and sister Sherri. But only Bonnie, Brenda's fraternal twin, tested positive. In fact, only 10-15 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer carry the BRCA gene, said Dr. Pronovost. "In the general population, the gene mutation is only 1 in 345."
"I got my gene-testing results the same day Brenda was scheduled to have her preventive hysterectomy/ oophorectomy (removing the ovaries)," recalled Bonnie. Except it wasn't preventive. The doctors discovered cancer in Brenda's fallopian tubes and elsewhere. That meant a total abdominal hysterectomy, followed by more rounds of chemotherapy.
According to Dr. Ott-Young, generally the risk of breast cancer for those with the BRCA1 gene (usually found in younger women) or BRCA2 (older women) is 60- 80 percent, and 30-40 percent for ovarian cancer. "Having both cancers is not that common. It's also harder to detect ovarian cancer at an early stage."
But for Bonnie, Dr. Pronovost explained that her risk for developing breast cancer was about 70 percent, and the risk for ovarian cancer was 40 percent because of her gene profiling and family history. "That made my decision easy," she said. Bonnie elected a total abdominal hysterectomy (December 2010) and bilateral mastectomies (March 2011). A second journey began, different than Brenda's because it was completely preventive, but one that Brenda supported. "In her situation, having tested positive for the BRCA1 gene and not having cancer, I would have done the same thing."
These two genes are part of a class called tumor suppressors. The initials stand for BReast CAncer susceptibility gene 1 and BReast CAncer susceptibility 2.
Mutations of these genes can be linked to hereditary breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Inheriting either the BRCA1 (usually found in younger women) or BRCA2 (usually in older women) greatly increases a woman's risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer.
In normal healthy cells, BRCA1 or BRCA2 help keep a cell's genetic material (DNA) stable, preventing uncontrolled cell growth.
A woman significantly increases her lifetime risk of breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer if she inherits a mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2.
Now, four years after Brenda's bilateral mastectomies and total abdominal hysterectomy, both sisters remain free of breast cancer, while Brenda continues treatment for ovarian cancer. "I'm told that ovarian cancer can recur in the first five years after surgery," she said. "If it doesn't recur within five years, chances are good that it won't. The same is true for breast cancer."
Skilled breast reconstructionAnother healthy outcome for both sisters: Dr. Ott- Young's skills with nipple-sparing and breast reconstruction enabled Brenda and Bonnie to feel healthy about their self-image. "Surgery was so easy and our breast reconstruction was amazing," said Bonnie, who compares her results and Brenda's to breast reduction. "Before this all happened, breast reduction was something we actually both considered."
The results were so positive, said Bonnie, that two of their friends made appointments with Dr. Ott-Young to discuss breast reduction. The sisters' rapid recovery also encouraged those who supported them along their journeys. "People who knew about our situation didn't expect us to be up and about so quickly," added Brenda.
Not surprisingly, Bonnie and Brenda are also very vocal about the care they received from Bridgeport Hospital's Norma F. Pfriem Cancer Center, Dr. Pronovost, Dr. Ott- Young and staff. "We couldn't have made a better choice," said Bonnie. "The level of care was wonderful."
"No matter what your decision, they made you feel it was the right one," added Brenda. "Everyone was like family, especially the nurses. We still text each other!"
Revisiting the steps of their journeys and the lessons learned along the way, Brenda and Bonnie have a message they want every woman to hear, especially those with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer: "Be proactive. And if you're given the option of genetic testing, do it," said Bonnie.
Genetic counseling services at the Norma F. Pfriem Cancer Institute, 5520 Park Avenue, Trumbull, are designed to help individuals understand the risk of developing cancer that they and their family face.
The center's certified genetic counselor, partnering with the Yale Cancer Center, can help determine the right testing and prevention measures.
Individuals may be a candidate for genetic counseling if they have a personal and/or family history of cancer, including colorectal, breast, ovarian and melanoma. Testing at the Norma F. Pfriem Cancer Institute generally involves three one-hour visits.
Most insurance companies cover at least part of genetic counseling charges. Individuals should contact their insurance provider for precertification before their first visit. The Yale Genetic Counseling Program does not require a referral, but the insurance company may.

Comments, questions and tips
These ingredients work much better, as I tried and tested after trying this one:
250g Digestive biscuits, plain or chocolate (or you can use HobNobs etc)
75g Melted Butter
600g Soft Cream Cheese (Tesco Value is perfect)
150g Icing Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Zest of 2 lemons and juice
4 Gelatine Sheets
You can change the flavour to your taste using either lemon, lime, orange, chocolate Philly! The options are endless, experiment!
Made this twice now, the first time with lemon as per the recipe, and it was delicious, albeit very tart, and very firmly set. The second time I made it with black currant puree, and only 3 sheets of gelatine. Wow, what a difference, it was sublime, and had a more pleasing wobble to it. Definitely, a favourite. On a health note, I made this with a homemade gluten free degistive base, which I baked in the cake tin (so 1 huge biscuit), so this way I was able to make it a bit healthier, as I didn't need the butter in the base.
quark is originaly a kind of cheese made from sour milk - the milk (fresh cows milk not long life milk) which went off is kept until the sour milk is settled in a glass or ceramic pots, jars and then is lightly heated (not boiled!) in a casserole, when it starts to make cheese curds you can stir it with a spatula to not to make big curds ( if you were using low fat milk it will be low fat - usually when you have fresh farm milk you take everyday the cream from it and at the end you have low fat milk when there is not anymore crust of a cream creating on the top) and then you sieve it, you can use a sheet of a cotton or flax like the cheesemakers do, and leave it until it dries a little - if you let it drain more the texture won't be so liquid like the people had some problems with it
@clairef - on the top of this cheesecake is a very thin lemon peel which is "confit" in a lemon syrup and it got it shape like it's fried in the heat of the simmering sugar
Firstly, this is a really tasty cheesecake. However, the following observations are worth noting:
- this is not ready in 1-hour as it states. We left it overnight.
- due to the Quark, it is not the normal creamy texture of cheesecake (but still divine!)
- we found the biscuit base perhaps a little thin, so you might like to double the quantity for this - we used Lotus Caramelised Biscuits which gave it an added edge
- we found the Quark and cheese mixture was extremely runny and ran through the base of the spring-form tin. In future I would line it with cling film before adding the biscuit base and then the Quark mixture. We had to perform a rescue operation before the whole lot leaked into the fridge and transferred it to a silicone baking case (but this proved hard to remove the cheesecake from once set)
I would definitely make this again but have learnt the hard way! :)

It makes our hearts swell to see dads getting so many props lately — from the men of Modern Family to spying all those celeb-pops pap shots (how frickin' cute are Orlando and Flynn Bloom?). And it's no wonder why these paternal pics make us melt the way they do. Your father may have taught you how to ride a bike, balance your first checkbook, or even wiped away the tears of your first heartache — they just always seem to come in clutch when you need 'em most. So, in keeping with the pappa love, we've rounded up a bevy of loving local dads that deserve a sincere shout-out. Bonus: These dudes have dapper in spades! Check out our snaps from the scrapbooks of TenOverSix owner Joe Cole, Living Things frontman Lillian Berlin, and a bunch of others, all snuggled up with their kiddos. Upon first awww-inducing glance, they all pretty much make us want to start a family of our own (we can only hope to snag such a catch!). Start clicking and get your phone handy, because this adorbs slideshow will have you yearning for your pops like no other.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman The Canon VIXIA M500 is the perfect camcorder for sharing your active life Guess where I am? Lucky you. The romantic getaway of a lifetime in Southeast Asia. And today you rode an elephant! Won't that be the talk of the town when you get home. Fortunately you'll be able to prove your adventure, and many more like it, with the Canon VIXIA HF M500 you're carrying in the palm of your hand. This camcorder is just the kind of tool you'll want to have on hand for fast-paced moments on the road. It's equipped for the long haul, lightweight, versatile, and feature-packed. Way beyond basic The M500 isn't your pedestrian no-frills camcorder. It's got a 10X optical zoom lens that gets you all the way from a sweeping establishing shot of the temple complex to a tight close up of a chanting, saffron-robed monk. Sophisticated image stabilization that senses what you're doing walking, zooming, shooting macro cancels out handheld shakes and motion blur. The large 1/3" CMOS sensor shoots a native 1920 x 1080 pixel field, guaranteeing top-flight light sensitivity. Your pictures will take on a whole new life and vibrancy, even with available light at dusk and indoors. The M500 features a generous 3-inch touchscreen for intuitive control and focusing Unleash the muse This camera not only reads your mind it feeds it, too. On-board "story creation" software aids you in planning your shots, telling you when you need a close-up or a wide shot, and even how long the shot should be. Cinema-Look filters make your footage look old-timey, or vivid, or '70s-style nostalgic. And the Touch Decoration feature lets you add your own "fingerpainting" with clip-art elements and animated effects, all by way of the touchscreen LCD display. That water-taxi ride on the way back to your hotel could look like something out of a spy thriller or your kid's favorite bedtime story. SD Memory cards preserve your favorite shots The M500 uses industry-standard SD memory cards. Affordable, reliable, and lightning-quick, you can add a 32GB SD card for almost 12 hours of recording at the highest-quality setting. Don't forget, you can swap out cards as needed. You know, that's an awful lot of memory handling ability. Even enough for an elephant.

Most newer camcorders save your videos to built-in digital memory or a removable memory card. Some models come with a built-in hard disk drive that gives you much more storage. For maximum portability, check out our smaller cams that fit into a pocket or purse. For high-def videos that look awesome on your HDTV, go for a slightly larger model with a better lens and image sensor.

Written By Coyote Pass Prods., Altadena, CA on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This camcorder is amazing. Unbelievable video, killer built-in microphone and tons of manual control options including exposure, focus gain and audio levels. Pros: Great video quality, great audio options, tons of manual control. Cons: No time code of any kind. Was this review helpful? Yes No Simply AMAZING! Written By DanH, Erie, PA on Sunday, December 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I upgraded from a Sony Handycam (SD) camcorder to this one. The video quality of this camera is absolutely amazing! I was looking at more expensive cameras with WiFi and built in memory before I saw this one. I don't really see a need for the WiFi. The video files are so large that it would take forever to upload them using it without making the file smaller (which I use HandBrake and it doesn't lose any quality at all). The built in memory wouldn't last long at all, so I went with this one. Very happy I did! Shipping was very fast and arrived nicely packaged. This was my first purchase from CrutchField..it won't be my last! Pros: Everything! Cons: Nothing! Was this review helpful? Yes No I love it! Written By Shon T, Langley BC on Monday, November 12, 2012 Great camera! I have a Canon 7D but wanted a camera for just doing video. Whether you're shooting HD footage for editing or just need instant web-ready mp4, there are plenty of options and record modes. Pros: Ease of use, image quality Cons: No remote included. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good wntry level camera Written By Atomic77, New York, NY on Friday, September 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was expecting a better camcorder from Canon. Video quality is good, however, the controls are overly simplified and settings are constrained. (e.g. you have only 3 video quality choices). Zoom range could be a lot better. I was between this and the Vixia HF R300, which has a much better zoom range but very poor low light performance. If low light is not a problem then go for the cheaper R300, the zoom range and savings will be welcomed. One more tip of advise, avoid the other models that have internal memory and wifi. It is far more convenient to plug a SD card directly to your computer than using cables, and Wifi sounds cool but is way more cumbersome to setup and use than using the SD card. Pros: Video Quality Low light performance Cons: Price Setting options Zoom range 2 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No NO timestamp will upload to PC Written By BretD, KC Mo on Monday, July 23, 2012 NO timestamps will upload to PC canon has a decent a picture and NOTHING else - this is the most un-user friendly camera (as are all the vixia canons I tried) - that I have ever seen. After hours of figuring out how it all worked, I realized the timestamp was not uploading. After 2 hours on the phone with canon tech support - I was told it just will not work - so NO timestamps will upload to PC - even though you can see the stamp on your camera it will not upload in Windows 7 or Vista. I did not try XP, but doubt it will work there either. Canon supprt was also unable to tell me of any software that would save the timestamp Again - very unfriendly camera and NO timestamps will upload to PC Pros: picture Cons: user friendly and no datastamp will upload 1 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome camera! Written By bagglady, Connecticut on Saturday, April 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only had for a day, but am loving every minute of it. Easy to use, very solid performance. Low light works unbelievably well. Practically no noise, especially when I put the camera in 30P or 24P record mode. Great all around camera!! Pros: Low light, zoom stabilization, touch screen, ease of use, picture quality! Cons: No wide angle, but really it's not bad! I like getting close to my subjects anyway. 17 out of 18 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

You can store nearly 3 hours of HD video at the highest resolution on an inserted 32 GB memory card. SD cards rated at Speed Class 4, 6, or 10 are recommended. Image Sensor: The HF M500 features a 1/3" Full HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor, the same image sensor found in Canon's professional camcorders. Compared to the sensor in Canon's 2011 VIXIA camcorders, this image sensor allows 20% higher light transmittance for improved low-light performance. This image sensor has 2.37 total megapixels, and 2.07 effective megapixels for video and photo recording. 3" Widescreen Touch Panel LCD: The HF M500 features a 3" TFT color widescreen LCD touch screen (230,000 dots) to make it easy to compose and review your shots. The bright screen lets you see exactly what your camcorder is recording, and what your widescreen TV will display later. You can rotate the LCD screen 270° allowing the subject to monitor the LCD screen. The LCD screen also features an adjustable brightness control. The LCD Screen's frame contains zoom, playback and menu controls for added convenience. Note: There is no additional viewfinder on this camcorder. Recording Formats: The camcorder records movies in AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) for high-quality viewing on an HDTV or archiving, or in the MP4 format for easy sharing with mobile devices or cloud applications. Audio is recorded in Dolby Digital 2-channel, using the built-in microphone. The camcorder can record in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel if the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone is used. Still photos are recorded at a fixed resolution of 1920 x 1080 in JPEG format. DIGIC DV III: DIGIC DV III, Canon's advanced HD image processor, delivers enhanced image quality, true color production for both video and photos, and a sophisticated noise reduction system for exceptional low-light performance. Its high-speed engine powers a variety of Canon technologies, such as the Genuine Canon Face Detection and Advanced Auto Exposure system. DIGIC DV III allows continuous shooting of digital photos, faster processing to the memory, as well as lower power consumption for longer battery life. Genuine Canon HD Video Lens: The HF M500 is equipped with a Genuine Canon 10x HD video lens with a focal length of 43.6-436mm (35mm equivalent). This high performance lens uses low-dispersion glass with a super spectra coating. The iris diaphragm, normally found only on professional-level camcorders, produces highly expressive video with sharply focused subjects with beautifully backgrounds. Zoom Speed: The zoom speed can be set to variable or one of three fixed speeds. In the variable position, the zoom speed depends on how far you push the lever. The purpose of the three fixed zoom speeds is a smoother zoom transition, at your choice of speeds. Intelligent IS (Image Stabilizer): The HF M500 features Intelligent IS for clear, sharply focused video, even in situations that typically cause camera shake. The Intelligent IS system analyzes the shooting situation and automatically switches to one of four stabilization methods: Dynamic IS: corrects minor movement and the shaking caused by walking while shooting Macro IS: for perfectly steady close-up shots Powered IS: for use when zooming, correcting shake that can occur in telephoto shots Tripod Mode IS: for use when the camcorder is stationary x.v.Color: The camcorder can be set to x.v.Color to record video that uses a color space with an extended gamut to achieve deeper colors, closer to real life. Video recorded with x.v.Color can only be played back properly on HDTVs compatible with x.v.Color via an HDMI cable. Video Snapshot: The camcorder's Video Snapshot mode lets you shoot a series of short video clips, then combines them with a pre-recorded music track or your own favorite music track, to create an entertaining movie. You can select the length of the video snapshot scenes: 2 sec, 4 sec or 8 sec. Face Detection: The camcorder can automatically detect people's faces and use this information to adjust the focus and set the best exposure and color control settings for beautiful videos and photos. When there are a number of people in the picture, one person will be determined to be the main subject. You can also select the main subject manually. Exposure Modes: The HF M500 features several exposure modes, each depending upon how much control you have over recording-related settings: Smart Auto: The Smart Auto setting automatically selects the best settings for the scene you want to shoot. You get spectacular recordings every time without worrying about the settings. Programmed AE: The camcorder automatically adjusts the aperture and shutter speed to obtain the optimal exposure for the subject. Shutter Priority: The shutter speed is manually set and the camcorder automatically adjusts the aperture to obtain the optimal exposure for the subject. Aperture Priority: The aperture is manually set and the camcorder automatically adjusts the shutter speed to obtain the optimal exposure for the subject. Cinema Mode: The Cinema Mode gives your recordings a cinematic look. You can select a 24fps progressive frame rate to enhance the effect. Special Scene Recording Modes: The camcorder features the following Preset Scene Recording Modes to match special conditions: Portrait, Sports, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Night, Low Light, Spotlight, Fireworks, Underwater, and Surface. (For Underwater and Surface, the WP-V4 Waterproof Case is required.) White Balance: The camcorder's white balance system helps you accurately reproduce colors under different lighting conditions so that white objects will always look truly white in your recordings. You can choose from the following modes: Automatic, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Tungsten, and Custom WB. Cinema-Look Filters: The HF M500 allows you to record with the following cinema-look filters: Cinema Standard, Vivid, Dream, Cool, Nostalgic, Sepia, Old Movies, Memory, and Dramatic B&W. Digital Effects: When shooting videos, you can select a fade or wipe to begin and end a scene. The fader can be activated only one time, or every time you start/stop recording. Self-Timer: This feature allows the camcorder to start recording after a 10-second countdown. When using the wireless remote control, the delay is two seconds. Video Camcorder Features Recording Modes: The camcorder offers five video recording modes for AVCHD (MXP, FXP, XP+, SP and LP), and two for MP4 movies (9 Mbps and 4 Mbps). You can capture the following video recording times using these modes: Memory Card Size AVCHD Recording Mode 1920 x 1080 (16:9) 1440 x 1080 (4:3) MXP 24 Mbps FXP 17 Mbps XP+ 12 Mbps SP 7 Mbps LP 5 Mbps 4 GB 20 min 30 min 40 min 1 hr 10 min 1 hr 30 min 8 GB 40 min 1 hr 1 hr 25 min 2 hrs 20 min 3 hrs 16 GB 1 hr 25 min 2 hrs 5 min 2 hrs 50 min 4 hrs 45 min 6 hrs 5 min 32 GB 2 hrs 55 min 4 hrs 10 min 5 hrs 45 min 9 hrs 35 min 12 hrs 15 min Memory Card Size MP4 Recording Mode 1280 x 720 9 Mbps 4 Mbps 4 GB 55 min 2 hr 5 min 8 GB 1 hr 50 min 4 hrs 10 min 16 GB 3 hrs 50 min 8 hrs 25 min 32 GB 7 hrs 40 min 16 hrs 55 min Pre-Recording: When Pre-Recording is activated, the camcorder starts recording video continuously into a temporary 3-second memory. When you press the Start/Stop button, the scene recorded will have started 3 seconds before you started shooting. This is especially useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording. Audio Settings: The HF M500 lets you select from six Audio Scene Settings, including a Custom Setting that lets you adjust the audio settings to your liking. You can choose from Standard, Music, Speech, Forest and Birds, Noise Suppression, and Custom. In addition, you can adjust the audio equalizer by choosing from the following settings: Normal, Boost LF Range, Low Cut Filter, Boost MF Range, and Boost HF+LF Range. Wind Screen: The camcorder automatically reduces the background sound of wind when recording outdoors when Wind Screen is turned to "Automatic." Mini Advanced Shoe: The top-mounted Mini Advanced Shoe lets you attach to the camcorder a range of optional accessories to expand its functionality. You use the Mini Advanced Shoe to attached the optional SM-V1 Surround Microphone, DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone, VL-5 Video Light, or the VFL-2 Video Flash Light. Microphone: The HF M500 has a built-in stereo electret condenser microphone. You can change the directionality of the built-in microphone to have more control over how sound is recorded. You can choose from Monaural, Normal (stereo), Wide, or Zoom. In addition, there is a 3.5mm stereo minijack for adding an optional microphone. Built-in Speaker: The camcorder has a built-in speaker so you can review the soundtrack as well as the picture when you're using the LCD screen to playback a recording. The built-in speaker is monaural. Playback Functions: The camera uses the following special playback modes: Fast Playback (5x, 15x, or 60x) in either direction, Slow Playback (1/8x or 1/4x) in either direction, and Frame-by-Frame Playback. During these playback modes there is no sound. Video Snapshots/Photos From Recorded Movies: You can record video snapshot scenes and still photos from a recorded movie. The size of the captured photos will be 1920 x 1080. Story Creator: Story Creator is a helpful function that offers suggestions for typical scenes in a number of situations. With Story Creator, creating interesting video stories is as easy as selecting one of the story themes, such as Travel, Party, or Kids & Pets, and following the suggested categories to record video. During playback, you can select your story from the gallery to play back the scenes you recorded as a single, compelling video story. Digital Still Camera Features Still Image Recording: The HF M500 flash memory camcorder is also a high performance digital camera capable of capturing stunning photos onto an optional SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card. Photos are recorded at 1920 x 1080 only. The number of still images that can be recorded on a 1 GB SD memory card is approximately 670. Viewing Still Images: There are 3 ways to view still images: Single image, Slide show (one after the other automatically in order of recording), or Index screen showing 6 images or 15 images at once.

Many experts suggest that swaddling in the first several months eases babies through the shock of suddenly being out of the womb by duplicating many of the sensations of the womb. Many babies do not handle this transition well, and some recent research suggests that this may be the main cause of fussiness.
Swaddling seems so confining. Is it good for a baby's development?
This question is the main reason western cultures all but abandoned the practice of swaddling over the past 100 (or so) years. Think about how comfortable the baby was when she was in the womb - total darkness, almost silent, snug fit ... very little input. Suddenly they are thrust into a world of light where their little arms and legs flail and flinch without control. Their little razor-sharp nails scratch their little face and their heavy head lolls without support. Giving your baby a few more months of some of the snug, supporting, and warm sensations of the womb should not be seen as an insensitive act - but a loving one.
Most babies squirm quite a bit when swaddled, especially at first. This does not mean they don't like it. The fact is, very young babies don't have very much - if any - muscle control and their arms and legs flail without them being able to control them. Swaddling actually helps limit this movement so the baby can relax and calm down. If your baby continues to squirm, and doesn't calm down after 5-10 minutes, take him out of the blanket and give him a few minutes to rest and try it again. Eventually, your baby will relax at the mere sight of a swaddling blanket.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by seejadams Fantastic Glove I usually go through one golf glove per week. I use a lot of thumb pressure and by the end of a week of hitting balls on the range and playing a few rounds most gloves have a hole in the thumb. This is absolutely NOT the case with the HIRZL golf glove. I have been using the same glove for four weeks and it is only showing minimal wear. I cannot imagine ever going back to any other glove. August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by pizzaiolofn Best Glove I ever had Seems to be expensive but holds forever!! Best Grip I ever had in all weather situations August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by dmbjr7 Great Product This is my second Hirzl glove and it is the best. Great performance in any type of weather, will never use any other glove. June 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by cosmo376 Hirzl golf glove This is the best golf glove I have ever used. The Kangaroo leather is soft to the touch and shows no signs of wear after 9 rounds of golf. I am very pleased with this glove. I went back to Dick's to buy a couple more gloves and couldn't find this product. I have told all my golfing friends about this glove and they tell me that they can't find it either. June 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tourtechie Best glove I have ever worn! I first heard about these gloves from one of the golf blog sites and all the reviews were praising how long the Hirzl glove lasts and how well they performed, so I decided to buy one. Wow! What a glove!! I never thought you could buy a glove that would work as well and as long as this glove. I used to go through a Footjoy Stasof in about three rounds. I have played 50+ rounds with my Hirzl glove and it still doesn't even have any thin sections on the palm. The other best part of the glove is that I get amazing grip out of it even when my hands get sweaty or if it's humid out. This thing grips even when it's soaking wet!~ Just incredible. It's more expensive than most, but it is by far the best value for the money. I'll never go to another glove again. February 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Billy Not a bad glove.... Very comfortable glove. The only problem is on the second use the letters came off the back of the glove. August 9, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by major minor nice glove for certain conditions I used the glove the first time at a practice session with my wedges. Not a good idea. My hands wear tired and little sore. I later used the glove on the course works well. Even better in the rain. Grips well on the club. Caution light grip... July 30, 2012
