How to handle rebellious son?
Hello! I need help. I have a 16 yrs. old son that I think is being rebellious to us. We had given him everything he wants but in return, he quit school, would normally go home at 5am or 6am. I talked to him repeatedly but he never changed. Please advise me.

Dear mumof5,
Firstly, I want you to draw hope from the fact that it is very normal for teenagers to rebel. For most teenagers, this is just a phase. What has your relationship been like with your son over the past year?
It sounds like you are particularly struggling to communicate effectively with him. There are some excellent gentle parenting books which may be worth you reading to help you with communicating with your son in a way he will listen to and without getting angry. I would recommend 'How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk' by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish and also 'Screamfree Parenting: The Revolutionary Approach to Raising Your Kids by Keeping Your Cool' by Hal Edward Runkel.
There is a great link here by the gentle parenting doctor Laura Markham on Staying Connected to Your Teen. Research has showed that, in order to have a good relationship, we need to have at least 5 positive interactions for each negative interaction. Positive interactions can include a: smile, pat on the back, word of praise etc.
It is important to keep fostering your relationship with your son even though you are finding his behaviour difficult at the moment. Praise the positive and ignore as much of the negative as it possible. At this age teenagers need to be allowed to express their independence but they do still need to know where the boundaries are. See if you can talk to your son about this; explain that you will make the boundaries as wide as possible (e.g. he can have the friends he wants to back to your house, he can choose what he wants for dinner on most days, he can have an allowance to spend as his wishes) but that he must still respect the boundaries (e.g. attending school and getting back at an agreed hour). If you can, talk about how his respecting this will allow you to trust him more and so lead to him having more independence. Try to involve and engage him in this conversation, problem solving how you can encourage him to attend school again etc, without 'laying down the law' which he will naturally want to rebel against.
In his article on 8 Ways to Raise a Moral Child Dr Sears offers some interesting thoughts on parenting teens. He also covers the importance of staying connected to them, even through rebelling behaviour.
I like this quote about how parenting teens is a whole new way of parenting but still stands on the principle of attachment.
'As we well know, a hallmark of adolescence is resistance. Just as crying exercises a baby's lungs, resistance exercises adolescents' abstract reasoning skills...No longer able to physically contain or comfort them, our only hope is to stay in touch...rather than trying to prevail or curtail, we need only strive for connection itself.' Jennifer Marshall Lippincott
I hope some of these links help you in your relationship with your son. Remember, you are not alone; most parents of teenagers have been there at some point.
Warm wishes,

You probably began your family history research by scouring old family papers and interviewing relatives. Soon, you'd also checked censuses, birth records and passenger lists, and exchanged information with several other researchers. Then one day, you found a census record saying your great-grandmother was born in Indiana, but you'd recorded that she was born in Ohio. Did your original information come from a reliable source, such as her birth certificate, or was it just a vague family tradition? Carefully recording where you find each fact will help you weigh conflicting information, compile an accurate family history and avoid duplicating efforts.
Luckily, genealogy software makes it easy to record your sources. The specific steps vary depending on your program, but most let you create a "master source" that includes a tide, author and publication information, as well as the source's location — whether it's a library, courthouse or your personal files — and a specific call number or Web site address. If you find references to several family members in the same source, such as a will or census record, you simply reuse the master source. If necessary, you can change the specific volume or page number cited in each person's record.

Stranded boater rescued on Lake Erie
(Cleveland) - The Coast Guard rescued a 63-year-old man Sunday in Lake Erie after he had been reported overdue the previous day.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Christopher Yaw says just before 4 a.m., they were notified by the Brownstown, Mich., Police of a possible overdue 16-foot white fishing vessel, with a 63-year-old man aboard.
His wife reported that she had not heard from him since 6:30 a.m. Saturday when he had left to go fishing.
Yaw tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, Sector Detroit directed the launch of a boatcrew from Coast Guard Station Toledo, Ohio, aboard a 25-foot Response Boat-Small.
A Canadian Coast Guard C-130 was also requested and launched from Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Trenton, Ontario.
At 6:40 a.m., a good Samaritan reported that he came across a person stranded on an overturned boat. It was confirmed that it was the same person the Coast Guard had been searching for.
The man reported that his boat had capsized at about 5 p.m., Saturday during a squall. He was wearing a life jacket.
A second boatcrew from Station Toledo launched aboard a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium, and an aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station Detroit responded aboard an MH-65C Dolphin helicopter.
The RB-M crew safely removed the man from the overturned boat and took him to Meinkes Marina in Anchor Point, Ohio, to meet with emergency medical services.
Yaw reminds boaters to carry emergency communication devices onboard their vessels. A VHF-FM marine radio is the best and easiest way to contact the Coast Guard in an emergency situation.
He says cell phones are good as well, but serve better as a secondary form of communication due to possibilities of coverage gaps. Flares and other emergency signaling devices are important, too.

"These shades last!"
By Loveblindsgalore from Oregon
I purchased the Comfortex Shangdi-la shades from Blindsgalore in 2003. They are still in style and look beautiful 13 years later. I've never had one break, they were easy to install, and they are much easier to clean than blinds. I'd buy them again today, but I won't need window treatments for these windows for a long time!View this product
"Beautiful, ready to install"
By Scott from Minnesota
Very happy with the purchase. They give you full control over the light/privacy in your room, and are much more pleasant to look at than any other styles I've tried.View this product

Travis Wilson might be entrenched as Utah's starting quarterback, but his presence doesn't mean all is settled at the position.
Returner Adam Schulz and freshman Brandon Cox are competing for the backup spot in spring practice.
The Utes also signed Houston product Micah Thomas and Lake Forest, Calif., native Conner Manning, who will be here in the fall.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham is hopeful the influx of youth will give the Utes a solid stable of quarterbacks for the future.
As for the two participating in camp, the 6-foot-1 Schulz is a walk-on who has earned a reputation for his strong arm.
Cox, a 6-2, 192-pound freshman, is a more athletic quarterback who could fill the role of being a running threat.
"We are encouraged by our quarterbacks," Whittingham said. "Brandon definitely brings an athletic element, and he throws a good ball."
Schulz said he feels he already has a good grasp of what new co-offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson wants out of the quarterbacks. Cox admittedly is still adjusting to the speed of college ball, but is optimistic he can make a quick adjustment.
"I am here to play, and I only play one speed and that is 100 percent," he said. "I just need to get bigger and get in the weight room so I can be like these guys."
In the meantime, Wilson continues to get praise from the coaches for his offseason work. Whittingham said Wilson now weighs 240.
"He got stronger in the weight room, and it has helped him because he has a much stronger arm and quicker release," Whittingham said.
Good numbers
Depth was an issue for the offensive line in 2012, but the Utes don't think that will be an issue next year thanks to a large signing class and several players who have recovered from injuries.
Whittingham said the Utes have 18 healthy offensive linemen participating in spring camp.
"We've never had that before," he said. "It is a great opportunity."
Open practice
The Utes are scheduled to practice Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the practice fields. The public is welcome to watch, but if the weather is bad, practice will be held from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and moved indoors, where the public isn't allowed due to space constraints.
On the tube
The Pac-12 Network will televise every spring game live, including the Utes' game on April 20. The network also plans live interviews with players and access to coaches. The first of the spring games will be televised at 5 p.m. MT on Saturday from California.
A play-by-play announcer has not been announced for Utah's game, but Glenn Parker will be the analyst and Ashley Adamson will do the sideline reporting.

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados found the perfect way to celebrate Brevard Men's Basketball Coach Michael Jones' birthday; defeating the NABC #5-ranked Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters, 82-77, on Wednesday evening in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Vincent Dombrowski attempted a go-ahead three-pointer with 1:55 left in the second half and was fouled, but both teams watched the ball bounce off the rim several times before settling into the net to give the Tornados the late 79-77 lead. Dombrowski canned the free throw, giving Brevard (11-11, 7-8 SAC) a lead they would not relinquish as the Tornados overcame Josh Roper missing the final 3:03 of the game after coming down hard on the floor in giving the visiting Railsplitters (22-1, 14-1 SAC) their first loss of the 2010-2011 season.
Roper led all scorers with a game high 28 points and the senior contributed five three-pointers to the scoring as Brevard shot 42.9 percent (31-71) from the floor in the game. Gaither Hendrix added 17 points and four assists, and Josh Jordan contributed 13 points and seven rebounds as the Tornados defeated the Railsplitters for the second straight season in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Desmond Johnson led the Railsplitters' effort with 25 points and completed the double-double with 15 rebounds, hitting nine of 11 shots from the floor. Cam Carden added 19 points off the bench and five three-pointers, while Brandon Armstrong scored 14 points as the Railsplitters outscored the Tornados 40-20 in the paint.
Lincoln Memorial opened the game scoring the first six points as Tony Martin went in for the layup off the opening tip and Kierre Jordan and Johnson added points as the Railsplitters held the 6-0 advantage a minute and a half into the game. The Tornados responded with seven straight points of their own to take the lead as Roper hit a trey from the right elbow extended.
Roper and Hendrix combined to score the first 25 points of the game for the Tornados and the duo outscored the visiting Railsplitters, holding the 25-23 advantage with 6:49 left in the first half, before Darius Moose got on the board with a jumper to put the lead at 27-23.
Vincent Bailey and Carlos Sanford hit back-to-back layups for LMU to knot the game back up and the teams traded the lead the remainder of the first half before Tony Martin hit a jumper in the paint to give the Railsplitters the 41-37 lead with 1:19 on the clock. Hendrix answered with a short jumper as Lincoln Memorial went into the half with the 41-39 lead.
Armstrong went in for the layup to put the lead back at 43-39 early in the second half, but Jordan answered with a short jumper in the paint and Roper hit another three as Brevard held their first lead of the second half at 44-43 with 16:47 to play.
The Tornados held the lead for the next five minutes before Wally Jones received the pass from Armstrong and drilled one from behind the arc to put LMU back up 54-52. Lincoln Memorial built a seven-point lead as Carden held the hot hand in the second half, draining four three-pointers in the second half, including one with 7:47 left in the game to give the Railsplitters their largest lead of the second half at 64-57.
Brevard fought back, using an 11-4 run to tie the game up for the first time in the second half at 68 apiece on a three-pointer by Dombrowski and several possessions later, Roper tied the game up with a three-pointer from the top of the key, putting the score at 72 apiece with 3:20 left on the clock.
Armstrong would drive hard to the basket on the next LMU possession, and as he attacked the basket, Roper fouled the junior guard and during the continuation of the play, would take an elbow to the mouth and have to be removed from the game due to the presence of blood. Armstrong would make both free throws, but Moose would answer on the other end to keep the game knotted up at 74.
Armstrong would continue to have the hot hand at the end for the Railsplitters, canning a trey to give LMU the 77-74 edge. Hendrix would answer with a jumper in the short corner to cut the lead to within one, giving way to Dombrowski's key basket.
Following the four-point play by the junior forward, Dombrowski hit a pair of free throws with 26 seconds to push the lead to five at 82-77 and after three missed three-pointers by the Railsplitters in the waning seconds, Jermichael Tanner stole an errant LMU pass to seal the win as Brevard defended Boshamer Gymnasium, 82-77.
Brevard overcame shooting 25.7 percent (9-35) from behind the three-point line in the game, while forcing 19 LMU turnovers in recording the victory. Lincoln Memorial held the 38-32 rebounding advantage and hit 83.3 percent (10-12) from the free throw line in the loss.
Brevard takes to the road this weekend, traveling to Hickory, N.C. to take on Lenoir-Rhyne University. The Tornados took game one of the season series against the Bears on January 15th at Boshamer Gymnasium in overtime, 85-83. Tipoff in Shuford Gymnasium is set for 6 p.m.

DBI: handling database errors( categories: databases )
Basically, there are two ways of handling database errors, check (almost) every DBI call for errors or set 'RaiseError' attribute to '1´:
-- Manual checking
This way, you have to add code yourself to check for database error conditions, so after nearly every method call you should check if the operation completed successfully.
There are two DBI methods that are very helpful to manually check for database errors: 'err' and 'errstr'.
DBI: get the number of rows affected by a SQL statement( categories: databases )
The number of rows must be obtained in different ways, depending of the type of SQL statement:
-- Non-SELECT statements
Use the 'rows' method. It returns the number of rows of the last executed command; in case the number of rows is unknown it returns -1.
This method is useful for SQL operations like "INSERT", "UPDATE", "DELETE", etc.
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("DELETE FROM table WHERE count < '?'");
print "Number of rows deleted: " . $sth->rows;
Please notice that the 'do' method combines 'prepare', 'execute' and 'rows' in a single function, so the above example can be rewritten as:
access a Microsoft SQL Server database from unix( categories: databases )
To access Microsoft SQL server from unix, use the DBD:Sybase module.
In order to access SQL Server 2000 (and later) databases, you have to be sure that the DBD:Sybase module was built with the FreeTDS libraries.
Several *nix distributions have ready to install packages (for example, in Debian, you just need to install the packages 'libdbd-sybase-perl' and 'freetds-dev'); in case you need to install from sources, you need to do the following:
- install FreeTDS
Get the package from www.freetds.org, unpack it and execute make and then make install
using the DBI module( categories: databases )
The DBI module provides a high level layer to interact with databases. The advantage of using this module is that provides a uniform interface to handle different types of databases.
Using DBI to interact with a database usually consists of 4 steps:
- Connect to the database
- Execute a query and obtain the result set
- Process the result set
- Disconnect from the database
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:dbname:hostname:port","username","password");
where dbname is the name of the database, hostname is the server where the database is located, port is the port where the database server is listening, username is the database user and password is the user's password. (hostname and port can be omitted if the database is in localhost and listens in the default port).

Nino - De Prinses van Manhattan (Lombard, 1992)
Dirk Stallaert is a real chameleon in the comics world. Able to draw in several styles, he has assisted artists like Jean-Pol ('Kramikske', 'Sammy'), Marc Sleen ('Nero'), Merho ('Kiekeboe') and Luc Morjeau of Studio Vandersteen ('Suske en Wiske'). After his school years, he had several odd jobs, including buss driver and civil servant on a ministry, until his turned to an artistic profession.
Ridder Digest
He published his first cartoons in the political magazine Knack (1975) and in Kuifje (1977). In 1981-82 he made his first comic for Knack, 'Ridder Digest', which was strongly inspired by the style of the Dutch newspaper comic 'Pa Pinkelman' by Godfried Bomans and Carol Voges.
De Avonturen van Kitty
Stallaert's next comic came in 1983, when the made the American superhero-spoof 'Waspman' for the satirical magazine De Zwijger. Shortly afterwards he became the assistant of Jean-Pol on the series 'Kramikske' for a period of ten years. In addition, he worked with scriptwriter Patrick Vermeiren on the newspaper comics 'De Strangers' (1985), about the Flemish musical group of the same name, and 'Kitty' (1986-1991), which were published in Gazet van Antwerpen.
In the early 1990s he cooperated with Hec Leemans on the comic about the little orphan 'Nino', which he drew in a Clear Line style. In addition he produced a strip about Flemish entertainer Eddy Wally for the weekly Dag Allemaal. From 1992 to 2002 he was mainly active as the assistant of Marc Sleen, drawing 'Nero' for among others Het Volk and De Standaard.
Mieleke Melleke Mol #4 (Standaard, 2007)
During this period, he also produced 'Het Geheim van de Kousenband' (also known as 'De Strip van 7'). In 1995, he won the Bronzen Adhemar, the official Flemish Community Cultural Prize for Comics.
Since 2002 he works with scriptwriter Erik Meynen on several short stories for UNIZO and De Standaard, as well as the montly riddle comic 'Pakkeman & Poulet' in the civil servant magazine Fedra.
Pakkeman & Poulet
From 2003 to 2006, he worked as an artist on Merho's 'Kiekeboe' series. After that, he joined Studio Vandersteen, where his main occupation are the 'Suske en Wiske' stories for the Dutch magazine Troskompas. In 2004, Stallaert launched the funny series 'Mieleke Melleke Mol' and 'Plankgas en Plastronneke' with the Flemish comedian Urbanus. These series are now combined in the series 'Urbanus vertelt'. Stallaert is assisted on his own comics by the inkers Jeroen Bullaert and Jos Vanspauwen.

No one from VB goes north on day trips except for certain hurricane swells maybe. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is too expensive for starters and the next surfspot is Assateague Island (unless you go by boat) which is a long way to go. People from up north would just bypass VB and go straight to Hatteras, but that is a long trip for them too. Just seems that the Mid Atlantic area isn't really cohesive enough geographically to all be lumped together.

More than 90 percent of mid-market companies expect the U.S. economy to grow this year. That's according to a new survey by Deloitte.
The "Mid-Market Perspectives: 2011 Report on America's Economic Engine" also finds that almost 56 percent of the companies surveyed will focus on domestic growth this year, while 44 percent of firms with annual revenue of more than $500 million will focus on global expansion.
The research firm Economist Intelligence Unit conducted the survey of mid-market CEOs and executives from across the country. The survey gauges mid-market businesses' plans for growth and recovery following the Great Recession. According to the report, more than 72 percent of respondents say they are now seeing higher productivity than before the recession.
Of the 527 senior decision-making executives surveyed, 69 percent say they plan on adding full-time employees this year; 38 percent will pursue financing to expand business; and 81 percent expect their annual revenue to increase in 2011.
Two-thirds of the companies report lower debt ratios today compared to pre-recession years. Also, more than half report higher cash balances. In addition, more than 60 percent of the companies agree cash balances will remain high, while debt ratios will remain low.
According to Tom McGee, national managing partner of Deloitte Growth Enterprises Services, Deloitte LLP, the mid-market's role is important to the economy due to its tremendous revenue. Mid-market companies comprise 40 percent of the national gross domestic product and employ nearly 25 million people.
Although the survey reports an optimistic outlook for the U.S. economy, obstacles lay ahead. Executives believe government debt and the strength of the economic recovery could hinder growth. Half of all respondents cite government debt at the federal, state and municipal levels as the primary economic challenge.
The survey also found:
- Executives are concerned that regulation, health care costs and high tax rates will hinder growth in the long- and short-term.
- Only 20 percent of executives believe the economy will grow quickly enough to support widespread job creation.
- Only 8 percent of the 80 percent of privately held companies surveyed plan to go public in the next year, with nearly 70 percent of those attributing decision-making control as the primary reason for remaining private.
The companies surveyed include private and public companies with annual revenue between $50 million and $1 billion, with the most-represented industries being business/professional services, consumer/manufactured goods, and health care, pharmaceuticals and life sciences.

Facial paralysis occurs when a person is no longer able to move some or all of the muscles on one side of the face.
Paralysis of the face
Facial paralysis is almost always caused by:
In people who are otherwise healthy, facial paralysis is often due to Bell's palsy. This is a condition in which the facial nerve becomes inflamed.
Stroke may cause facial paralysis. With a stroke, other muscles on one side of the body may also be involved.
Facial paralysis that is due to a brain tumor usually develops slowly. Symptoms can include headaches, seizures, or hearing loss.
In newborns, facial paralysis may be caused by trauma during birth.
Other causes include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
Tests that may be ordered include:
The doctor may refer you to a physical, speech, or occupational therapist. If facial paralysis from Bell's palsy lasts for more than 6 - 12 months, plastic surgery may be recommended to help the eye close and improve the appearance of the face.
Follow your health care provider's instructions on how to take care of yourself at home. Take any medicines as directed.
If the eye cannot fully close, the cornea must be protected from drying out with prescription eye drops or gel.
Call your doctor if you have weakness or numbness in your face. Seek emergency medical help right away if you have these symptoms along with a severe headache, seizure, or blindness.

Interrupted sleep of my child
Hi, everyone
I am here again to discuss about my one year old baby who does not seem to be at peace for the last two nights. I don't know why but she wakes up suddenly three-four times at night and starts crying. She calms down after some time when me or my husband takes her in lap. What can be the reason for this? Is she afraid of something or is she going through a bad dream phase? Does your child face the same problem? I am very restless because she keeps me busy and awake the whole night and I can't concentrate in my work during the morning. She was having a sound sleep for all these months. I really don't know how to tackle this problem. Any suggestions?
3rd August 2013 02:52 AM #2
Hi Vinni,
Thank you for your question.
I'm sorry to hear that your daughter has had problems sleeping.
It would be helpful if I could ask you a few more questions to try and get to the bottom of the problem. How long has your daughter been waking up crying for? When you say she wakes three/ four times crying at night - what is the time gap between these periods of waking? Has anything changed at all in her routine or bedtime since the crying started? What was her sleep like before these interrupted nights began?
I have a few thoughts on this. Have you heard of 'night terrors'? This is where a child has a period of crying inconsolably in the night. What is unusual about a night terror (and differentiates it from a 'normal' occurrence of the child waking up and perhaps crying out to a parent) is that the child will not be easily consoled and sometimes will not even seem to recognise their parents or surroundings. The child is actually not fully awake when a night terror is occurring (even though their eyes may be open). There is a previous thread about night terrors here. My eldest son had just turned one when he experienced night terrors. They went away after a few nights and we believed the cause to be that he was over-tired.
Where does your daughter sleep? Does she have a consistent bed-time routine?
A bed-time routine is really key in helping your baby to have a good night's sleep. Babies do sleep differently from adults and it is usual for them to wake several times in the night. It is when a baby learns to self-sooth and comfort themself that they will stop waking a parent in the night and so be perceived to 'sleep through the night'. I would highly recommend the No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley and there is an excellent article on reading your babies sleepy signals here.
Do you breastfeed your daughter in the night? I breastfed my eldest in the night until he was around 18 months old. This helped me to keep up a good milk supply and gave him the wonderful benefits of breastmilk for an extended time.
Sometimes a child will wake in the night if they are hungry or if they are teething or unwell. This would lead to a temporary sleep disruption. A longer term disrupted sleep pattern is more likely to be due to a change needed in their routine. I have also found a lot of truth in the statement 'sleep breeds sleep': a baby that naps well in the day is more likely to sleep better at night. How long does your daughter nap for in the day?
I hope we can all work together to help your daughter get a good night's sleep!

Hi LJ,
Thanks for the details. My child was having this sudden sleep interruption since 20th of July after which I posted this problem. However, I tried massaging her body before night and she slept calmly. I think that tiredness was one of the reasons for this which you have also mentioned in your response. She has just started walking a month back and it is a new experience for her. She just want to keep walking and reach out every room, garden and backyard. May be this makes her very tired and I had not been able to understand that her body need to be relaxed before going to bed. This is working for me. I breastfeed her every night after you encouraged me to continue breastfeeding in the other thread. Now she wakes two- three times but does not cry much. No more sudden crying and she does not seem to be frightened or not ready to be calm as she was doing.

Dear Vinni,
I am so pleased to hear that your daughter's sleep seems to have settled down.
It is interesting that you write that she has recently learnt to walk. Research shows that the times of greatest development in babies (including learning to sit unaided and walk alone) are also the times when they have a more interrupted sleep routine. This is believed to be because they need more breastmilk during this time in order to boost the brain in making these developmental leaps.
That's fantastic that you are breastfeeding your daughter every night - providing your daughter with the best source of nourishment and nutrients as her body and mind develop day by day.
I agree with you that it is good for your daughter to have some time of getting ready for bed each night. In the hour leading up to bed-time you could read her stories, sing her songs or talk about what you have done that day. Baby massage is a perfect way to help her relax before bed.
Thank you for updating us about your daughter.
Best wishes,

Optical Navigation Demonstration Near Mars
This image showing the position of the Martian moon Deimos against a background of stars is part of a successful technology demonstration completed by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter before arrival at Mars.
The spacecraft's Optical Navigation Camera was used in February and March 2006 to demonstrate the use of pictures from a small camera for calculating precise location of a Mars-bound spacecraft by comparing the observed positions of Mars' two moons to their predicted positions relative to background stars. While this technique was not necessary for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's own navigation, the demonstration prepares the way for relying on it for navigating precise arrivals for future missions that land on Mars.
This example image from the Optical Navigation Camera was taken on March 6, 2006, at a distance of 1.08 million kilometers (671,000 miles) from Deimos. That moon, the smaller of Mars' two, has a diameter of 15 kilometers (9 miles), and orbits 23,459 kilometers (14,577 miles) above the planet's surface.

Unlike typical darkening sunglasses that adjust to UV rays (which do not pass through car windows), these superior sunglasses adapt to light intensity to provide optimal eye comfort while driving. Photochromic pigments inside the lenses react to visible light as it comes through a windshield, lightening or darkening the lens to block 80% to 91% of the light. The polarized, copper-tinted lenses have an antireflective coating that eliminates glare and reduces eyestrain. An oil-repellent coating prevents fingerprints and causes water to slide off of the lenses instead of beading and impairing visibility. The lenses block 100% of UV-A, -B and -C rays and are scratch- and impact resistant. With a lightweight metal frame, adjustable nosepiece, smooth rubber temple pads, and a hard-sided travel case. 6" W x 1 3/4" D. (3 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Only Light Adapting Sunglasses come with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Adapting is a strong word
By Jim
from Alexandria Virginia
I use the product for driving, during all types of daytime/dusk conditions. The ad says the glasses are "light adapting", giving me the impression the lenses lighten in the absence of light and darken when exposed to increased ambient lighting. They do neither, they have remained the same color/shade and darkeness since I have received them. I had hoped they were what was advertised, but they do not lighten or darken.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

An estimated $350,000 raised for Coats for Kids
(Twinsburg) - Newsradio WTAM 1100's Mike Trivisonno's Coats for Kids Campaign, and sold-out "Vegas Shows" have been a great success, with an estimated $350,000 in donations raised, thanks to a generous $100,000 contribution from Matthew Figgie and The Figgie Foundation.
Numerous companies including Hilton Garden Inn in Twinsburg, donated prizes, money and support to make the "Vegas Shows" possible, plus there was help from the many entertainers who volunteered their time and talent.
The gala shows were held on Friday, November 22, and Saturday, November 23, with tickets for both nights selling out within minutes.
"I love the spectacular entertainment in Las Vegas, so I started thinking, why not put together a Vegas-style Show that I could share with my listeners?" says Trivisonno. "When we had the opportunity to tie Triv's Vegas Show into raising money for Coats for Kids, it was the perfect match. These kids have no choice about their lot in life-It's not their fault that they don't have a coat. It's important to me that they stay warm during our cold winters."
In addition to the singing competition and Vegas-caliber entertainment, the evenings featured an elegant, three-course chef-prepared dinner created by the culinary artists at the Hilton Garden Inn Twinsburg and raffles for fabulous and valuable prize packages.
But most of all, the evening gave Triv's loyal fans and callers the opportunity to meet one another and the cast of characters from The Triv Show (heard weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m. on WTAM 1100) while supporting a very important cause.
Additional funding from The Figgie Foundation, combined with a $50,000.00 grant from Ohio Governor John Kasich's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, will help fund a new partnership between Coats for Kids and the Ohio Association of Professional Firefighters.
Funds will be used to purchase new winter coats made in the USA, which will be distributed to children in need via area fire departments, including Akron, Cleveland, Elyria and Euclid.
With so many local kids in need of warm winter coats, Triv's fundraising campaign is just the beginning.
If you couldn't make it to the show, you can make a monetary donation by mailing a check made payable to Coats for Kids- Cleveland to PO BOX 74767, Cleveland, Ohio 44194. You can also donate online securely at coatsforkidscleveland.org.

Heavy snow and rising temperatures triggered a rash of major avalanches. Huge debris piled over highways and cut off access to the Kenai Peninsula for four days. A mile-long avalanche bowled over transmission lines, cutting off power to 2,000 Alaskans in four towns. While attempting to clear tracks, a railroad worker was killed when a slide buried him alive.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Clean, good location, breakfast.
Clean, modeern close to city center. Poor tv choice
Very good location and nice personnel. Standard double room is tiny but clean. Furnishing substandard, designed to save space. Bathroom clean and functional. Breakfast is cheap and just enough. Good choice to stay in the city for up to 3 days. We got a nonsmoking room, but it smelled of cigarettes a lot.
This is a very new hotel (open in Sept.) and ofcourse, very clean with location just next to underground train exit (Opernhaus) where you can take U2 from/to airport. The family room we occupied was pretty large with 1 double bed and 1 bulk-bed but my friend's family room is smaller (so, rooms are not at same size). Free parking and wi-fi are added benefits. Vending machines are available at hotel lobby with good coffee @ Euro 1 only. The breakfast cost Euro 6.90 is just fair, not money value. We only ate once at the hotel and then went out for better choice on the following days.
Close location to train station, brand new hotel, Close location to old town, cleanliness of hotel room. Breakfast is extra to room rates.
Clean, inexpensive, Underground station that goes straight to airport is right outside hotel Barely functional, no ammenities, rooms not cleaned until 5pm
It was convenient, very new, yet lacked services of the simple kind like enough places to eat or drink something more than just out of a vending machine. Other than that I was very happy thank you. none.
We stayed in a family room with my 13 month old daughter. The set up of the family room meant she had a quiet area to sleep and my husband and I could still watch TV.
the room was very nice and clean the breakfastbuffet was very good it was easy to find the hotel
I was the first guest at this new hotel. The staff went out of their way to make my stay pleasant.
Clean, quite cheap accommodation .Free wireless internet. -
Location close to the highway Wiew from the room
Hotel propre - déjeuner excellent
New building, not completly finished, very clean rooms, friendly staff. Very small rooms.
The room was clean and comfort. There was no fridge in the room.

Toyota to Finally Get Onboard With Direct Injection, Turbocharging to Boost Efficiency
Brandon Hill
October 3, 2012 12:38 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Toyota Camry SE
Toyota is finally going to catch up to the competition
Toyota is known for producing boring family sedans and SUVs that appeal to a large audience. The company is also known for its fuel efficient
Prius family of hybrid vehicles
. Vehicles like the
Prius/Prius c
manage to achieve 50mpg on the highway thanks to a fuel-sipping gasoline engine backed with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and an electric motor/battery.
Toyota has largely ignored making significant advances in its traditional gasoline engine/powertrain department; with efficient transmission/engine offerings lagging the competition (the Toyota Corolla still uses a 4-speed automatic transmission when the competition has moved to 6-speed units and CVTs).
However, no longer will its traditional vehicles take a backseat to its hybrids according to Takeshi Uchiyamada, Toyota's product development chief. "By 2015, through improvement in the engine and powertrain alone, we aim to achieve a fuel-efficiency improvement of 10 percent to 20 percent on the models adopting the improvements," said Uchiyamada.
The Toyota Corolla still uses an archaic four-speed automatic transmission and lags behind the competition in fuel economy
Competitors like Ford have already embraced direct injection and turbocharging across much of the produce range (see
), and Toyota is following suit. Toyota plans to introduce a direct injection version of its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (this new engine will first see duty in hybrid models). The engine will also find its way into vehicles like the Camry, RAV4, and Venza.
In addition, Toyota will also introduce a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that will likely take the place of the 3.5-liter V6 currently found in midsize Toyota sedans and crossovers.
Toyota is also looking to add 6- and 8-speed automatic transmission to its vehicles. This should help vehicles like that aforementioned Corolla with its archaic transmission boost fuel efficiency ratings. The company will also add CVTs to more of its models, a move that has long been championed by Nissan. Nissan provides CVTs in everything from its
tiny Versa subcompact
to the large Pathfinder crossover.
All of these moves largely see Toyota playing catch-up with the rest of the automotive industry. Toyota has for too long placed all of its fuel efficiency eggs in the hybrid basket, while neglecting its bread and butter vehicles. With the competition now fiercer than ever, it now looks as though Toyota has finally realized that not everyone wants to purchase a hybrid in order to get increased fuel efficiency.

Letter from Dr. Stephen I. Katz: Update on the NIAMS
Long-Range Plan
Dear Colleagues:
Since 2010, NIAMS current Long-Range Plan has been informing the Institutes priority setting process and enabling the Institute to adapt to the rapidly changing landscapes in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Originally intended to be a 5-year planning document, it is slated to expire at the end of the next fiscal year (FY). We have begun framing the process by which we will be updating this important document, and Id like to share our next steps with you.
We will be discussing this activity with our Advisory Council during its September meeting and soliciting public comments via a Request for Information. This input will be combined with the numerous scientific opportunities that our communities have identified, and are continuing to identify, through NIAMS-sponsored roundtable discussions, scientific planning retreats, and listening sessions. We expect to share an early draft version with our Advisory Council next spring and, after incorporating Council members feedback, will make the draft available for public comment during the summer.
When complete, our Long-Range Plan for FY 2015-2019 will outline the Institutes perspective on research needs and opportunities within NIAMS mission, and will serve as a resource for all who are interested in NIAMS activities. Because we will continue to devote the majority of our extramural budget toward funding the best investigator-initiated research ideas, the new Plan will continue to encourage creative approaches for generating the scientific discoveries that will ultimately improve the health of the American public.
Please take a few moments to review the current Plan and reflect on what research opportunities should be modified due to progress over the past five years, and new areas that have emerged. Soon, we will invite you to share your ideas through the NIAMS website, and we will announce this opportunity through all of our communications channels. We welcome your thoughts as researchers, patient and health advocacy organizations, professional societies, academic departments, clinicians, and individuals and families affected by the diseases and conditions within NIAMS mission.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A 21-year-old junior at Ohio State University would have been in elementary school during the terrorist attack of 2001.
He would have grown up during two wars and the hunts for Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. He could have watched the television shows 24 and Homeland.
Add a certain intellectual bent, and a career path might appear.
Peter Marzalik, for example, was into Russian culture after reading Dostoevsky, and he had an aunt in the FBI. Eric D'Angelo likes languages and has a cousin in the CIA.
"I was interested in knowing things that other people don't know or aren't allowed to know," said D'Angelo, 21, of Avon Lake near Cleveland.
Since 2005, there has been a place for those students at Ohio State. There now are about 250 security-and-intelligence majors in the International Studies program. It has become popular enough that there's talk of adding a master's program in the next few years, said Anthony Mughan, the director of International Studies.
The undergraduate major attracts particularly motivated people, he said.
It requires a minor in a foreign language, preferably the national-security "critical languages" such as Arabic, Chinese and Somali. D'Angelo and Marzalik, 21, of suburban Chicago, are double majors in security and intelligence and Russian.
The major uses courses from throughout the university. Linguistics professors teach codes and code-breaking. Computer-science professors teach information security. Sociology professors deal with the social aspects of police and policing.
The university is one of 374 educational institutions that offer some kind of homeland-security program, says the Naval Postgraduate School's Center for Homeland Defense and Security.
The first, introduced shortly after the terrorist attack, was at the naval school in California. Three followed at the National Defense University, the University of Denver and the University of Colorado. (The Pentagon's Northern Command is in Colorado Springs.)
The real boom time was 2003 to 2005, said Steve Recco, director of partnership programs at the Center for Homeland Defense and Security. Students demanded the courses, the government directed federal money to the programs, and plenty of jobs became available.
Marzalik and D'Angelo say that, as juniors, they already have conditional job offers from the National Security Agency.
A similar boom happened in the first years of the Cold War with international-studies and diplomatic programs, Recco said. International studies at Ohio State began in 1946.
The homeland-security field is pegged to current events, Recco said. It used to have a harder, terrorism-focused edge. But since Hurricane Katrina and similar storms, disaster-management components have evolved.
Big growth in that area has happened lately at community colleges, Recco said.
At OSU, the growth in security and intelligence came without one of those student organizations that so many other majors have. So Marzalik and D'Angelo created one in 2011.
The Security and Intelligence Club has 30 or 40 members now. On Jan. 22, an OSU law professor and human-rights expert spoke to the group.
It gives the students an outlet for their interests outside of class, Marzalik said.
"We have people on both sides getting passionate, but they are making rational arguments," he said.

This tutorial covers all the commands (hopefully) we'll need for the projects we build here at PMA. If there's anything that needs to be added to it, feel free to comment.
Starting with the basics, we'll first cover retrieving a project:
git clone [repository]
This will get the currently active branch from the repository
Obviously you'll want to do something with this newly retrieved working copy of the project. Let's first create a branch for the new features/bug fixes we'll be coding.
git checkout -b [newbranchname] origin
Ok, so we got a new branch. While we're coding, it's a good idea to commit tons of times to preserve the changes we've just made. Don't worry about the log, we'll make it pretty later. Just commit often.
git add [filename(s)]
git commit
If it's a small change that doesn't require much explanation, you can use these commands
git add *
git commit -m "The commit message"
Or, even shorter
git commit -a -m "The commit message"
You finished that feature so now it's time to merge that branch with the master branch (or some other branch depending on what VCS (Version Control System) paradigm you/your team chose). First, you should make those hard-to-read commits less hard-to-read. Let's rebase!
Please note that if you rebase after pushing to the repository, you will create problems for those pulling from that repository. Rebase changes the history of the project. Your teammates merges will not be fast-forward[able]. It won't be pretty, trust me.
git rebase -i HEAD~[number of commits back]
You'll now be looking at something similar to this:
pick ce86448 A random commit
pick a8564a9 Another random commit
How you order things in this editor will affect the order of the commits. Note that merge commits are not shown here. They aren't editable.
Replacing "pick" with "edit" will allow you to edit the changes you made as well as the commit message.
After you've edited the files you wanted to edit, you can now
git add *
git commit --amend
and move on.
As I mentioned before, you have the opportunity to clean up the mess you made with all those many commits using the rebase option. Here's how:
- Run the
git rebase -i HEAD~[x]
command from earlier
- Replace "pick" with "squash" on the commit you want to be combined with one exactly previous to it.
pick ace72dd I squashed these commits. I'm cool. squash e99fd59 This commit will be sqaushed with the one above it pick d0770e8 commited again pick af845d0 I'm really committed
Pretty straight forward and easy. Everyone loves rebasing
If you want to know more about git-rebase, I recommend checking it out here.
Now, you've made all these changes and everything looks great. What are you gonna call this pretty new feature? Are you gonna tag it? I would..
git tag -a [fancy_feature] -m "A fancy message for a fancy feature"
If you happen to leave out the -m, git will open an editor and you'll be able to add your fancy message there, just like with commit!
Read more about tags here.
One scenario for using tags could be that, within a project, one wants to keep track of versions. Each commit could be tagged with a version number like with bug fixes in some VCSs. If something goes wrong, it's really simple to go back to a previous version using git rebase, as we've already shown.
You've squashed those ugly commits, changed the commit message(s), and tagged everything. Time to merge. Switch to the master branch (or whatever branch you're wanting to merge with) and type this command which will merge [branchname] with the current branch:
git merge [branchname]
You'll probably want to fix any conflicts and continue with the merge.
It's now safe to delete [branchname] because all the changes from that branch are now on the current one.
git branch -d [branchname]
This next feature is pretty neat. Say you've done a bunch of changes that haven't been committed yet and you realize you aren't on a feature branch. Here's what you do:
git stash
git stash branch [newbranchname]
This will stash away all uncommitted changes, create a new branch and check it out, then unstash all your stashed changes into that new branch. Awesome
Stash is also useful in scenarios where you don't want to commit yet but you need to switch to a different branch and do something. You could stash the current changes using the above git stash command, do the needed changes, then switch back to the branch you were working on and use this command to unstash the changes:
git stash apply
It's a good idea to check out the other things offered by git stash (git-stash)
To get this new branch into the origin repository, do:
git push origin [branchname]
To delete a branch from the origin repository, do:
git push origin :[branchname]
Don't forget the colon!
Another scenario; your co-worker does some work on a feature and gets stuck. You don't want to type on their computer cause yours is set up just the way you want it. Is there a solution to this quandary? Yeah. There is…
Tell them to push their changes then do this:
git fetch origin [remotebranchname]:[localbranchname]
You now have the branch they were working on locally and can modify to your hearts content.
Noteworthy Notes
There's a difference between
git pull
git fetch
The difference is that "git pull" will run a "git fetch" then a "git merge" to merge the retrieved head into the current branch.
git log -p path/to/file.rb
This command will show the history of a specific file;
git blame path/to/file.rb
will go line by line in a file and give a short description + the name of the person that changed the line last (brilliant, actually)
From the Git manual
check it out
A few configuration variables (see git-config(1)) can make it easy to push both branches to your public tree. (See the section called "Setting up a public repository".)
$ cat >> .git/config <
[remote "mytree"]
url = master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git
push = release
push = test
Then you can push both the test and release trees using git-push(1):
git push mytree
or push just one of the test and release branches using:
git push mytree test
git push mytree release
To rebase your current working tree to obtain the changes from the master tree,
Suppose that you create a branch "mywork" on a remote-tracking branch "origin", and create some commits on top of it:
git checkout -b mywork origin
$vi file.txt
$ git commit
$ vi otherfile.txt
$ git commit
You have performed no merges into mywork, so it is just a simple linear sequence of patches on top of "origin":
o–o–o $ git checkout mywork $ git rebase origin
This will remove each of your commits from mywork, temporarily saving them as patches (in a directory named ".git/rebase-apply"), update mywork to point at the latest version of origin, then apply each of the saved patches to the new mywork. The result will look like:
o–o–O–o–o–o $ git rebase –continue
and git will continue applying the rest of the patches.
At any point you may use the —abort option to abort this process and return mywork to the state it had before you started the rebase:
The commands
Here's a list of all commands covered in this tutorial:

AMES, Iowa— The Iowa State University tent at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa Aug. 26-28 will be filled with production agriculture conversations around water quality and pest resistance. Faculty, researchers and extension specialists are ready to visit with the thousands of production agriculture professionals attending the show.
Exhibits in the Iowa State tent, located at the corner of Center and Seventh Avenues, contain information related to best management practices for improving water quality and pest resistance, and information about Iowa State's involvement in protecting crops against pest resistance and state efforts to improve water quality. Demonstration plots outside the tent offer a look at biomass and cover crops.
"We have created special displays and are bringing our people to the Farm Progress Show so farmers can have conversations with us, and other farmers, that will lead to implementation of management practices," said John Lawrence, director of ISU Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension and Outreach and associate dean in ISU's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. "These conversations are important to the agriculture industry and our state. Iowa's water quality plan points to practices that work, but not all practices are equal across the state. By talking to other people, farmers better understand options for their land."
Visitors to the Iowa State University tent will get a bird's eye view of select Iowa farms and a chance to visit with farmers who have practices in place to improve water quality, including Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey. By creating a scenario similar to their own farm and selecting from a menu of management practices courses of action they might consider, visitors will learn the costs and benefits of those decisions. Farmers who have implemented water quality improvement practices will host the area and share their experiences with visitors.
Northey is scheduled to participate on Wednesday afternoon and talk with visitors about his role in creating the water quality initiative and about management practices he has in place on his farm. Last fall Northey used cover crops on his farm for the first time, aerially applying 120 acres, half into corn and half into soybeans. He has long focused on conservation on his farm, using ridge till and grid soil sampling.
Pest resistance, another issue on the minds of farmers and other agriculture professionals, also will be addressed by exhibit displays and Iowa State staff. Erin Hodgson, extension entomologist; Bob Hartzler, extension weed scientist; and plant pathologists Alison Robertson, Daren Mueller and Aaron Gassmann will lend their expertise to conversations in the pest management resistance area of the exhibit.
Extension field agronomists Mark Johnson, Joel DeJong, Paul Kassel and Aaron Saeugling will join extension farm management specialists Steve Johnson and Kelvin Leibold and campus specialists and faculty as experts in the Ask an Expert area of the Iowa State tent. A complete list of Iowa State staff will be available at the exhibit information booth.
New to the Iowa State exhibit this year is the ISU Bookstore with Iowa State merchandise for sale.
In addition to the main exhibit, ISU Extension and Outreach programs will have exhibits at other venues throughout the Farm Progress Show grounds. A map complete with all locations will be available at the Iowa State tent information booth.

Courage, Confidence, Character ... And Community Service
By Maribeth Dono, Junior Leader of Troop 2700 in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn
During Hurricane Sandy and in the days we were stuck at home immediately following, I was communicating with a bunch of friends on Facebook to keep from going stir-crazy. We wanted to do something to help, but every volunteering opportunity was for adults only.
My troop normally meets on Fridays, so I decided to do something the girls could participate in, something that would give them the feeling they were doing something to help. On NYC Council Member Brad Lander's blog I found an entry about a small soup kitchen in the Borough Park area of Brooklyn that was supplying meals to elderly residents at the shelter in the Park Slope Armory. Masbia Soup Kitchen had been asked to provide 2,500 meals accommodating the special diets for these older residents, and they had really stepped up and provided fresh, low-sodium meals without batting an eye. Brad Lander was asking for donations to help the kitchen cover the cost of these additional meals. I suggested we do a bake sale with the girls and with members of the community, with all proceeds going to Masbia. - We posted the bake sale on Facebook and asked for donations of baked goods and for people to stop by and buy a treat to support the soup kitchen. Our success inspired three other groups of parents and children looking for something they could do to help to also hold bake sales. The girls also participated in a tour of their facility and put together meals that were going to be brought to the people at the armory.
Then we heard about the animals that had been displaced because of the hurricane – either because the temporary housing people were moved into did not allow pets, or because the pets had been separated from their owners in the chaos during the storm. Our site is near an animal rescue and the girls decided to host a benefit for the Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Windsor Terrace. The people at the center were so happy to receive the donation – and the girls felt great when they went to deliver it. Of course, they just had to stay and pet kittens, puppies, guinea pigs, and hamsters!
The following project also began with a post on Facebook – this one was about a "Tree of Hope" in the Rockaways that was going to be put up on the beach to give residents hope and raise their spirits. The girls made Christmas ornaments during our Friday meeting, and at our "Breakfast with Santa" the kids made even more ornaments. All together we sent about 75 ornaments to the Rockaways to put on their Tree of Hope.
Our latest project got started when I heard about the Veterans Hospital on 23rd Street in Manhattan that had closed down because of the Hurricane; it is still closed as of today, and all residents have been moved to the Veterans Hospital in Brooklyn. We got together with P.S. 10 and collected items for the veterans: lip balm, soap, playing cards, pencils and puzzle books, Halloween candy, lotion and body washes, and much more. The Girl Scouts took the items and assembled over sixty Christmas stockings and holiday bags; Girl Scouts and P.S. 10 students made cards to put in each stocking and bag. The girls then went to the hospital and sang Christmas carols and handed out the Christmas stockings and holiday bags to every resident in the hospital; there was even enough to give the nurses some of the body wash and lotion kits that had been donated by one company, Carol's Daughter.
All of these more recent projects were Sandy-related, but I always look for projects the girls can do to help people in their community, to learn that they can make a difference, and to keep up-to-date on what is going on in the world. I get a lot of ideas from Facebook and from the GSGNY blog.
I was a Girl Scout from first through twelfth grade and earned my Gold Award; we participated in many service projects and I remember them as both fun and empowering. I hope to provide the same experience and to instill the same spirit of leadership and community engagement in the girls in my troop. Getting them active with service projects, both within the community and in the world around them, helps them realize that they can make a difference in the world.

I have a POO problem with my eldest
My eldest son is 3 years and 3 months, he still doesn't tells when he needs to poo. He usually just stood for a moment and giggled and there goes poop around him. Sometimes it's hard poop and there were times it's soft poop. The thing is I already am teaching him and give him poop schedules but still he wants to poop on his own way. I needed to do something about this because I am giving birth anytime this month and it's hard to manage this thing especially when were in public and I am bringing my little infant with me. It's embarrassing, and I don't want to scold my son from doing such thing. He's too young to be scolded and get spanked around everyone, it's not good.

Hi jopoys,
At 3 years and 3 months I would say that your son most likely has the ability to know when he needs to go and could make it to the lu if he wanted to. However, you know your son and you should be able to know whether you think he is able to do this or not.
Is he able to control the muscles responsible for elimination? Do you think he purposefully holds the poo when you put him on the lu, even if he needs to go waiting to go until you put him in his underwear?
Does your son run to a "private" place while he poos in his pants? (i.e. running behind the couch, or to a corner of the room)
If your son is simply being stubborn, then here are a few suggestions to help conquer his stubbornness.
You may want to put him in a nappy or a pull-up when you are out of the house, so that if he poos, you avoid any kind of embarrassment to him and to you.
If he doesn't like the idea of being a baby, then you may want to tell him that if he has an accident at home (poos his pants) you will need to put him in a nappy, like babies wear, when you go out. Only do this if you think it would motivate your child (i.e. the response you are looking for in him is "I don't want to wear a nappy, I'm not a baby.")
It sounds like you already have him in "big boy" underwear, so telling him he's a big boy and needs to use the potty like daddy does, may not be a big enough incentive for him.
If it's truly just stubbornness, then I would encourage you to make the "clean up" process (after he poos in his pants) rather uncomfortable. You can use a cold washcloth on him to clean him up. You can clean him up as much as possible with a cold washcloth, and then put him in the bath and let him know that you need to wash him off. If you have a hose sprayer in the tub, this works well to gently spray him off, but use cold water. We want to discourage him from getting dirty (pooing in his pants).
I would only try the cold water and the cold wash cloths if you know in your heart that he is only being stubborn and purposely thwarting your attempts to get him to poo in the lu.
If he is not pooing in his pants on purpose then it would not be good to use cold water. In this situation, you want to be compassionate and understanding that he simply can't control his poo elimination yet. In this case, just keep him in nappies until he is able to control his elimination.
One family that I read about knew that their 3 year old was simply being stubborn and no matter how many times mum put him on the lu in an effort to help him go there, the child would simply hold it in until mum took him off the lu. Then, as soon as he was in underwear, he would find a "hiding place" and poo in his pants.
That family decided to make a little tent between two pieces of furniture and put the potty chair in there. This allowed him to feel safe and secure and private while using his potty chair, and he used it. As soon as he was done, everyone made a big deal about how wonderful it was, and a few months later he could use any potty and wasn't pooing in his pants.
I would like to conclude with one important thought. You are preparing for the arrival of another baby. It is very typical for 2 or 3 year olds who have recently potty trained to regress back into nap pies when a new baby arrives. If you are able to get your son to poo in the toilet before baby arrives, but notice that he regresses (has more accidents) then I would encourage you to put him in nappies for a couple of months so that you can fully focus on healing yourself after the birth, and on feeding and caring for the new baby. Changing a dirty diaper on a 3 year old is much easier than cleaning him up after he poos in his pants, and keeping him in nappies for a couple of months won't do any harm in fact it could do a lot of good, giving him another couple of months to develop before you try to potty train him again.

Hello jopoys,
Have you tried any of the suggestions I gave you with your son's poo problem? How is he doing?
Warm Regards,
