Thanks for letting us know! I'll definitely be buying that for my daughter for whn she's a little older (she's just 6 months old). It'll be great not only for her to understand why we're vegan but also to one day share at school so her classmates understand too.

that book looks just lovely! thanks for sharing. so often people will ask me if I will "force" my future children to be vegan. I think that, given the choice and information, most children will follow their heart, just like Ruby says. I don't think there's any "forcing" about it. what was it like for your kids embracing a vegan diet?

Thank you for sharing this. I wonder sometimes how my children, when they start school, will explain to other children why they don't eat animals and their products. I think that this children's book is a good start. The illustrations look great. I can't wait to find a copy. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing this. What a wonderful book to have and to share with other kids.
The only book that I've found for kids was Claude and Media by Zoe Weil, which is good but not for real young kids. Thanks again!

This looks like a beautiful book. I don't have children but hopefully will one day and this is something I hope to share with them. I'm a great believer in people having the knowledge to make their own decisions in life and understanding why they make the choices they do. This certainly hits that point and starts people thinking at a young age about their impact on our earth. Great work! I can't wait until I can get my hands on a copy. I'm in Australia so may have to be a bit patient before it hits our shores...in failing that may have to order my copy on the net to be delivered straight to my door!

Is there an easy way to invert part of a photo in software? Is there a good image viewer that does that?
Yes, pretty much all image editing applications include Invert as a standard adjustment and will automatically apply it to the active selection (if there is one). Here are a couple of examples.
Windows: Paint.NET
Paint.NET is a great free image editor for Windows.
Linux/Mac OS: Gimp
Much the same process:
Most photo editing software (though generally not raw processors like Lightroom) has the ability to select parts of an image and to perform operations on that selection, and most software has the ability to make a photo negative.
If you want something freely available I suggest GIMP. Photoshop and Photoshop Elements will also do it but they cost money.
One program I like a lot is Irfanview. It's small and fast, and it will even run from a flash drive, without installing it on a PC. Among its many features is the ability to invert a selected areas. It's a free download.

The 5 Most Insane Childbirth Stories of All Time
The "woman goes into labor in some crazy location" bit is so cliche on TV shows that you'd think no story could shock us. We've seen babies get born in elevators and the back seats of cabs, there was that shadow baby thing on Game of Thrones ...
But once again, real life kicks fiction's ass when it comes to situations that seem too absurd to be real. Here are five real women who stretched the bounds of believability by ...
#5. Giving Birth in a Tree, During a Flood
You see catastrophic floods on the news and you can only imagine what it's like to be those people huddled on their rooftop, or paddling around their submerged house in a canoe. But we bet we can think of one woman who can claim the title of Most Harrowing Flood Situation Possible.
It happened in 2000, when Mozambique suffered the worst floods in 50 years. A woman named Sofia Pedro was very, very pregnant at the time. She also failed to make it to shelter.
Via Believe it or Not
"Yeah, I'm daring you to complain about anything at all, ever, for any reason."
Instead, she was caught by the floods and forced to climb a tree to escape the rushing water, which some of us couldn't have managed under the best of circumstances, let alone while panicked and very, very pregnant. She then had to stay in that tree for three freaking days.
Again, just the circumstances we have so far stretch this beyond any reasonable person's imagination: three days, while pregnant, starving, terrified, soaking wet, with a devastating current of water just feet below you, ready to sweep you away if you tumble out.
And then she went into labor.
An actual photo from the scene.
While that may sound like extraordinarily bad luck in an already terrible situation, it's actually just the body's natural way of saying "We're ditching everything that can turn us into an anchor." So, 20 feet up in that tree above deadly flood waters, Sofia birthed her baby all alone -- successfully -- and held on to her in the branches until a rescue helicopter spotted them.
While it's miraculous that Sofia and the baby both survived, we have a thousand logistical questions we want to ask her. For starters, the narrow limbs of trees aren't exactly conducive places to squeezing out a newborn ... so how did a normal, two-handed woman keep the baby from falling while hanging from a tree? When the first rescue worker reached her and discovered that she was holding a baby attached to a dangling placenta, how did he keep from screaming? Is that the only story Sofia Pedro's friends will hear at every party for the rest of their lives?
Via BBC
"Yeah, that was cool. But where have you given birth this week?"
#4. Having a Baby in a Sinking Car
If we told you that a pregnant woman didn't make it to the hospital and gave birth in her car, your first response would likely be, "So what? Doesn't that kind of thing happen all of the time? We've seen that in like eight movies and 25 sitcoms." And then we would, of course, accuse you of being a witch for hyperlinking your voice like that. But you're right, babies fall out of ladies in cars so frequently that car companies really ought to start accounting for it in their fabric choices for the seats.
Knowing that giving birth to a car baby was old hat, Kennyetta Biggs upped the ante and gave birth to her child in a car while it was sinking to the bottom of a goddamn lake.
"All that money I paid to learn breathing exercises ..."
At five in the morning, Biggs left her home to drive to the hospital to have her child. "But why didn't she ask a family member to drive her?" you might ask. Well, Biggs was only 21 and kept the pregnancy a secret from her parents, maybe because she wasn't clear on how pregnancies generally end and she thought she could get away with it. Also because she probably didn't think the situation would turn into a national news story.
So in the predawn hours, she presumably slipped the car into neutral and coasted it out of the driveway like a rebellious teen, except one who sneaks out to have secret babies at hospitals. While driving, a strong contraction made her lose control and she crashed. At some point she realized that she hadn't just run off into a field, but that her car was slowly sinking into the depths of a murky lake. While she was strapped into that car, while going into labor.
"And my cellphone is almost out of minutes!"
Fortunately, the local deputy was on his way to work, and thanks to some top-notch sleuthing, he noticed that there was a car in the lake that hadn't been there the day before. Biggs was trapped inside the vehicle, and by the time the deputy arrived, there was already a newborn girl hanging out in the passenger seat, playing it cool and hoping the cop wouldn't notice that her umbilical cord wasn't a seat belt.
He pried the door open to rescue Kennyetta and pull her out of the lake. Even though she suffered a broken leg, her daughter was just fine. While there's no existing record of the conversation that occurred between Kennyetta and the deputy as he tried to free her from the sinking car, we're assuming it was something along the lines of "Please don't tell my mom and dad."
"What did I tell you kids about coming out here and having babies in this lake?"
#3. Giving Birth in a Train Toilet (That Empties onto the Tracks)
Considering how traumatic the unsettlingly common "I accidentally had a baby in a toilet" situation must be, it's hard to imagine how anyone would top it. Let's put it this way: It takes a story so bizarre that we would have immediately dismissed it as a hoax if it wasn't being reported by the Reuters news agency.
On a passenger train in India, pregnant 33-year-old Bhuri Kalbi reportedly left her seat to go use the restroom. Now, if you've never been lucky enough to use a train toilet in India, the system is pretty simple: It consists of a seat and a hole that leads directly to the ground below, effectively turning the train tracks into one long extended line of human waste. Needless to say, there aren't a lot of kids crushing pennies on the rails.
Seriously, if you've never done that, you have some childhood to revisit.
When Kalbi sat down to relieve herself, she was apparently overenthusiastic about it, because she accidentally gave premature birth to her child. And just like everything else people squeezed out of themselves in that toilet, it slipped down the hole onto the tracks while the train was moving.
Kalbi immediately passed out from giving birth, but when she came to, she realized she no longer had a baby kicking around inside her. After telling the staff and her family, they stopped the train and radioed to other rail workers that they should keep their eyes out for a baby along the horrendous shit trail known as the Indian railway.
So many old country songs now make so much more sense.
Miraculously, they found the child, a bit shaken and two months early, but completely fine other than that. Kalbi and her family rushed to the hospital, and the child was placed in the ICU. Of course, the little girl will go on to live the rest of her life knowing that the luckiest thing to ever happen to her involved falling down the toilet of a speeding train onto the cushion of shit below. Those aren't baby book images you can really pass around at dinner parties.
"And that's why you're named 'Turdstreak Trackthumper.' Now go play with your brother, 'Normal Vagina Baby.'"

Just been appointed as manager of Pormpy after a few seasons at Sheff Wed and the news real has announced that "Portsmouth have appointed the former Sheffield Wednesday woman" as their new manager. I even checked my profile to make sure I had not put my gender wrong at the start of the game and I hadn't.
Not sure whats going on there. I know the media does pick on certain managers from time to time but this is rediculous!

When you get a new mail in Entourage then a small window appears with some basic info about the new mail you receveid. Is it possible to do the same thing with Apple Mail?
Try Growl and the GrowlMail plugin, simply click to view the message, and it's free! http://growl.info/
I've used Mail.appetizer before and it was my favorite of all the mail notification apps I've tried. It's not yet compatible officially with Snow Leopard, but there are development versions available that will probably work (link from their twitter account).
Note that in recent versions of OS X, Mail requires that plugins list the specific versions of it that they support; they can't just say they're compatible with anything newer than a certain version. The current development version of Mail.appetizer is for 10.6.5 and Mail 4.4; if you're running 10.6.6, that might be a problem. See this OSXHints article for a way to fix it.

Every time I try to print something from GIMP/Inkscape/GLables3 only blank label prints with nothing on it. I use 36mm label with 36x30mm option manually selected in GIMP/Inkscape/GLables3.

I remember watching newscasts in Boston as a youngster and saying to myself, 'Now THAT is something I want to do.' From very early on, I knew I wanted to land a job as a television reporter in the news biz. Flip through the pages in my high school year book and you will find "News Broadcaster" under my career goals.
My roots stretch back to Somerville, MA. I graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in broadcasting in 1992. During my college days, I gained as much experience in the field as possible. In 1991, I landed a position as a disc jockey at KLHI F.M. 101 on the Island of Maui, Hawaii. I also spent seven months in Dublin, Ireland during an exchange program. I worked as a political intern for a representative in the Irish Parliament while studying at the Institute of Public Administration. The second half of the program took me to Belfast, Northern Ireland to study at Queen's University and work as an intern with the BBC's "Good Morning Ulster" radio program.
During my college days in Boston, I paid for tuition by selling popcorn and ice cream at historic Boston Garden during Celtics and Bruins home games. Following graduation, I landed an entry level position as a video archivist at WBZ-TV in Boston. It was such a treat working with many of the folks I admired and grew up watching.
In 1997, I moved to Bangor, Maine for my first on-air reporting job at WVII-TV. The job prepared me well for a career in broadcasting. In a small market, the size of Bangor, you work long hours, shoot the pictures, write the story, edit the video and go live all while getting paid very little. It was an experience filled with riches I cannot count. I will always cherish.
One of the highlights during my time in Maine was flying on a National Guard tanker over the Atlantic Ocean during a refueling mission involving eight F-16 fighter jets. I also had an opportunity to play a bit part in the film "Storm of the Century." Stephen King, who is a Bangor native, wrote and appeared in the movie as well.
In 1998, I returned to Boston to work at NECN as a weekend reporter. I covered a wide range of New England and national stories including the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. One of the most memorable moments during my tenure at NECN was interviewing former Russian leader Mikail Gorbachev. One of the most heart-wrenching stories I ever had to cover was the deaths of six Worcester firefighters who lost their lives in a cold storage facility during a fire in December of 1999.
In the fall of 2000, I moved to Richmond after landing a job at WTVR as the military/political affairs reporter. I consider myself a history buff and Richmond offers plenty of the past to keep me satisfied. During my time here at WTVR I've had some remarkable experiences including flying with the Blue Angels, covering President Bush's inauguration in 2001 and witnessing countless brave sailors and marines leave for and return from war.
I also traveled across the pond to England in the spring of '05 to explore the historic link between the U.K. and Virginia for the 400th anniversary of Jamestown. One of the most fascinating interviews I conducted during my time spent in England was with Lord Cornwallis, the great-great-great grandson of Lord Cornwallis who surrendered to George Washington in Yorktown, Virginia essentially ending the Revolutionary War. Did you know that Richmond was named after a small English town Richmond-Upon-Thames right outside London? And that Native American Princess Pocahontas from Virginia who married explorer, John Rolfe, is buried in Gravesend, England? My reports from that week were transferred to a DVD and placed in a time capsule at Historic Jamestowne. In 2057, the time capsule will be unearthed and opened for the 450th anniversary commemoration.
In 2007, I had the golden opportunity to once again return to England and work at the BBC in Kent, England. It was part of an exchange with the BBC South East. One of their reporters switched jobs with me. Journalist Mark Norman settled in at CBS6 while I worked as a reporter for the BBC's evening broadcast. It was one of the highlights of my broadcasting career.
In my spare time I like to travel the world, shoot still photos and search my family history. For the last several years, I've been tracking down and interviewing the soldiers who served in the 692nd Tank Destroyer Battalion during WWII. My late grandfather, William McQuade, was captain of 'A' Company in the 692nd. I've driven and flown to many states across America to meet these aging veterans in their homes and reunions. They've been sharing stories that help me get to know the grandfather I never met. In 2006, I produced an award winning two-part series on my search called, "Soldier In the Photograph".
I have had the pleasure of working with some truly talented photographers here at CBS6. We've produced many award winning stories covering the hot button issue of urban sprawl in central Virginia, the history of Jackson Ward: The Harlem of the South and human smuggling in the United States. I've earned nine Emmy Awards and ten Edward R. Murrow Awards, a National Association of Black Journalists' Salute to Excellence Award and four Virginia Association of Broadcasters Awards.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Put.io is a website which fetches the torrents to their remote servers and provides direct downloads, but is not free.
I do not believe so. The nature of a bit torrent is that it is not being hosted anywhere. There are just several end users that have the exact same file and share this file with other users by linking together using a torrent link. This torrent link checks back and forth to make sure that you are receiving the exact same file as which is being shared by many users. Since there is not a deposit of this file anywhere, there is not a direct link that you can use to download the file. The only way this would be possible is to contact someone who is sharing the file to give you a link to the stuff you want to download.
You can try with Instant-Torrents.com. You send to them the torrent location, then they download file(s) of torrent and notify to you when your files are ready. BUT you have to pay the vpn service to download it :(
Torrific.com is another option.
I don't think that exist a free service.
I dont know any site that do that. Maybe if what you want is easy for the user, these web sites converts a torrent to a exe in a single download. The user download the exe and the exe download the torrent content.

This exquisite gift edition brings a fresh look to the Magician's Nephew, the first of the seven Chronicles of Narnia.
About the Author
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions in literary criticism, children's literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.

The Boston Conservatory Announces New MFA Musical Theater Degree Program
You are hereHome/ The Boston Conservatory Announces New MFA Musical Theater Degree Program
Leading Performing Arts Conservatory Begins Three Year Overhaul of Curriculum
(BOSTON — April 13, 2012) The Boston Conservatory, the oldest conservatory of its kind in the nation, is proud to now offer a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Musical Theater, the terminal degree for this field of study. Nationally known for its musical theater training program and large number of alumni working on Broadway, the Conservatory currently offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), as well as the graduate-level Master of Music (MM) in Musical Theater. The Conservatory now joins San Diego State University as only the second college in the United States to currently offer the MFA in Musical Theater.
"We have a track record of preparing and graduating students who consistently get work on Broadway, in national tours and in television and film," says Neil Donohoe, Director of the Theater Division at the Conservatory. "Given the strength and reputation of our program, it made sense for us to further expand our leadership in this area and offer the terminal degree."
The Massachusetts Department of Education approved the Conservatory's proposal on February 28, 2012, following an extensive, seven-month proposal and review period. The new 60-credit-hour MFA degree will require five semesters of study, including one intensive summer session, allowing students to complete the program in just two years—a distinction from those MFA programs requiring three years of study. The program will begin in September 2012 for current MM Musical Theater students, as well as those students accepted for fall enrollment to MM Musical Theater program. Applications for fall 2013 enrollment are due December 1, 2012. Adds Donohoe, "This is a great opportunity for recent graduates of our MM Musical Theater program to transfer their credits and earn the terminal degree."
The decision to offer the terminal degree was, in part, an outcome of extensive program review and overhaul of the Conservatory's curriculum to give students increased flexibility in career path and preparation for new performing arts careers in an ever-changing landscape. The new curriculum will include course undergraduate offerings that integrate the disciplines of music, dance and theater, as well as a first year writing skills workshop and a senior experience program designed to help students prepare for the transition from student to professional. Changes will be rolled out over a three year period. "The world is changing and our curriculum needs to change with it in order to be relevant and prepare our students for the performing arts careers of the future," says Pat Hoy, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer for the Conservatory. "The curriculum review has given us a much-needed opportunity to scrutinize our course offerings, review our infrastructure and identify new ways to leverage our multi-disciplinary curriculum using a holistic, Conservatory-wide approach."

My life is down to 1 and my opponent 4. I attack with a 4/4 lifelink creature, and my opponent answered with a Shock to deal two damage to me, will I lose or will lifelink save me first?

You will die first.
The attack phase is actually a series of steps, of which declaring the attacking creatures is only the second. After you have determined your attacking creatures, there are several opportunities for each player to play instant-speed spells (such as Shock) and abilities before the attacking creatures can deal their combat damage. So, unless you agreed to resolve combat first, if your opponent can reduce you to zero health or less, you will lose.
For reference, these are the steps of the combat phase:
Sounds like shock was used before blockers were declared and therefore before combat damage was dealt. In this case, the shock will resolve and reduce your life to -1 before your creature can attack. You lose.
You're dead.
You and your opponent both have the opportunity to cast spells and activate abilities during both the declare attackers and declare blockers steps, both of which happen before the combat damage step. So you've taken the two damage well before your creature would deal its damage and let you gain life.
Of course, this is a slightly unusual situation anyway - your opponent could've probably just killed you with Shock earlier in the turn, or even during their turn.

Inside the uterus your baby has developed a strong grasp reflex. The grip is so strong after birth that it could support your baby's weight. This grasp reflex persists until your baby is about six months old; she will then have more choice over whether to grasp an object or not.
Interestingly, your baby also has a similar reflex in the foot. This is the "plantar reflex" and it causes the toes to attempt to curl around your finger if the sole of the foot is stroked. The plantar reflex takes slightly longer to disappear after birth, typically persisting until 12 months of age. Another reflex action causes the toes to spread out if the side of the foot is stroked. These reflexes and others seem to be quite primitive in nature and although they are thought to protect the baby, the precise function of each reflex is not fully understood.
Could owls give us an insight into pregnancy and birth? It's doubtful, but these myths are entertaining!
Second labors are usually shorter in duration than first labors.
This usually means an easier labor, but a second baby could be bigger than a first, or positioned differently. There are many factors to consider.
Most childbirth experts would agree that a straightforward vaginal birth is the safest form of birth for both mother and baby. It is also generally considered safe to use water as a method of relieving the pain in uncomplicated labors.
However, it is sometimes not possible to achieve a straightforward vaginal delivery due to certain situations that can arise during, labor and birth. If a problem with either the mother or baby occurs, the medical team will advise you on the safest way of delivering the baby.
It's important to think about the type of birth you would prefer and are comfortable with, but be prepared to be flexible and to see how labor unfolds. Speak to your doctor to find out if there's a birthing pool you can use at your hospital.
