Is it ever too late to start wearing your baby?
I have a preterm baby that is now 8 months old and I have tried several times to wear my baby but he doesn't seem to like it. I've also a sling and a wrap and he just cries when I put him in it. Is it too late now that he's bigger to try the baby wearing method anymore? Is there any way to encourage him to like it?

One of the best ways to help your child to like a carrier is to try different positions with the carriers. Your son may prefer to face outward, looking at the world around him. You can use a sling to carry him facing outward even if his neck muscles are not strong yet. Here's an example of how to do this:
If your baby's neck muscles are strong enough (he can hold up his head when sitting), you can try propping your baby on your hip in the sling. You would still support his back, but he will be sitting up rather than laying in the sling. Here's a video of a sling that is used for the hip hold. Baby should be 6 months or older and able to hold his head up in a sitting position. I don't know where your baby is right now, developmentally, but you can determine if he is ready for this hold or not.
I will post more videos in the next post.

You'll find some good baby wearing information here and some baby carriers here.
Most babies need to be about 5 or 6 months before they can be worn facing out, but here's a video that shows you how to wrap your baby facing out as early as 3 months of age.
This video shows a carrier that allows you to buckle baby in facing out. Baby must be old enough to hold his head up without support for this carrier.

And last, but certainly not least, is the backpack. I used the backpack more than any other carrier because it gave me a lot more flexibility to get things done. Hands free, baby was happy, and I could make dinner, vacuum the house and even clean the bathrooms. Just make sure the should straps are securely over baby's shoulders so that when you bend over they stay snuggly in the carrier. I often forgot I had a baby on my back when I was shopping or doing house chores and would bend over not realizing that baby was on my back. My babies were always safe because I always put the shoulder straps on. They loved the backpack and often feel asleep in it.
Here's a video showing probably a 6 month old in a backpack.
I don't think it's ever to late to try a baby carrier. Try different positions and different carries and I'm guessing you will find one that works for bub.

I do not think it is ever too late to try it, unless your baby has become uncomfortably large. I highly doubt that would be the case with your little one, as I know many women, including myself, baby wear well into the toddler years.
I second Kate's mention of the back carrier. Front-facing carries have always made me a bit weary, but backpack carries are fantastic. Baby is usually entertained by their surroundings but still very safe. You also have totally free front side. It is important to make sure the baby has strong enough neck muscles and is not frightened by riding on your back. My children were probably around eight to ten months when I first started to back carry them. It can feel very awkward at first so practice in front of a mirror and have a friend or partner there to spot you until you figure out how to get them safely inside.
You may also want to look into local babywearing groups. I know we have one in my area and it is fabulous. The leader has an incredible carrier lending library and the group meets once a month to practice different carries and talk. There are so many knowledgeable, experience women in the group. They are great at helping mums to figure out any issues they have with carrying.

With the passage of time your baby will be use to, so keep on trying wearing baby wear.

I see loads of babies who are desperately uncomfortable just laying on their backs in a cot because they have not adequately released from their bodies some of the stress and strains encountered in pregnancy and delivery. This does NOT apply to ever baby!
However many babies are uncomfortable in these slings and if they just do not "get used to it" then you need to consider that they may have a problem that needs looking at.

Event Details
Interdisciplinary vs. Multidisciplinary
Panel Discussion on the Adapting Relationship Between Marketing, Design and Technology
Marketer, designer, technologist. Which hat do you wear? If you're building mobile apps and web products these days, you're probably sporting all three in some capacity. The lines between these disciplines are blurring and rightfully so.
As the old adage goes, "actions speak louder than words" and in an (inter)active space, it is actions, not words that build brands. It is the sum of all interactions that define today's brands, making the Internet the purest form of branding.
By looking at the work we do in these terms, there is little difference between the role of marketer and technologist, except of course the tools we use. And it is the role of design to create the bridge between the two — putting an (inter)face to a set of actions—or rather, behaviors—outlined by the marketer and brought to life by the technologist.
About the Event
AREA 17 will host a panel discussion to explore the combining fields of study—blending the practices of marketing, design and technology into a newly-formed, yet unnamed discipline. We will discuss the ongoing evolution of each individual discipline with the focus of finding common ground.
The discussion will start with short presentations from each panelist, followed by a moderated discussion. All attendees will be given the opportunity to ask questions and share their own perspective and experiences.
Beer and wine will be provided to grease the wheels of the conversation!
- Robin Chase, Founder, Zipcar
- Jon Lander, Creative Director, Domani Studios
- Jessica Allen, UX Design Lead, Engine Yard

Sam Picchiotti drove in three and Raider pitching allowed just one run while striking out nine as the Wright State baseball team defeated Dayton in its home opener Monday at Nischwitz Stadium 5-1.
Playing in its earliest home opener ever, WSU opened the scoring with a run in the third. Beau Phillips led off with a walk and after Michael Timm was hit by a pitch, Picchiotti bunted both runners into scoring position. Phillips then scored as Garrett Gray hit into a fielder's choice.
Dayton (0-2-1) tied it with a run in the fourth, only to see the Raiders answer with one of their own in the bottom of the frame. Jason DeFevers led off with a walk, moved up to second on a Kieston Greene bunt and later came in on a Timm hit to right.
Wright State expanded on the lead with two in the sixth as Justin Kopale singled, Timm walked and both scored as Picchiotti doubled to the gap in left center. The Raiders rounded out the scoring in the eighth as Picchiotti singled in Kopale.
On the mound, five WSU pitchers (Robby Sexton, Joey Hoelzel, Cody Kopilchack, Trevor Swaney and Travis Hissong) combined to limit the Flyers to one run, five hits and three walks while striking out nine. Sexton picked up the win in his collegiate debut, fanning three in four innings.
Picchiotti had two hits and three RBI to pace the Raider offense while Mark Fowler also had two hits as did Kopale.
Wright State, which ties the 1979, 1989 and 1991 teams for the best start ever at 3-0, heads to Clemson this weekend for a three-game series. The Raiders and Tigers will play at 4:00 on Friday, February 22, at 2:00 on Saturday, February 23, and at 1:00 on Sunday, February 24.

Best-selling author Barbara Taylor Bradford, OBE, was the
featured speaker for the 2012 Samuel D. Affron Memorial Lecture at
Mount Saint Mary College. Bradford's humorous and engaging
presentation focused on her life, career and latest novel, "Letter
from a Stranger" about a young woman who discovers her beloved
grandmother, presumed dead, is in fact alive, estranged by her
mother. The granddaughter's exploration reveals family secrets
leading back to World War II and the Holocaust. Bradford, a
longtime resident of New York City, is one of the world's best
loved storytellers. Her 1979 debut novel, "A Woman of Substance,"
ranks as one of the top 10 bestselling books of all time, with more
than 31 million copies in print. Bradford's books have sold more
than 85 million copies worldwide in more than 90 countries and 40
languages. She was inducted into the Writers Hall of Fame of
America, and was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) by
Queen Elizabeth II for her contributions to literature. Mount Saint
Mary College presented Bradford, who was born in Leeds, West
Yorkshire, UK, with an honorary doctor of letters degree in 2011.
This lecture was made possible through the generosity of the Affron
family. Jerome S. Affron, a former Mount Saint Mary College
trustee, established the Samuel D. Affron Memorial Lecture Series
in honor of his father in 1982.

OAK HILLS -- Sheriff's deputies served a search warrant at an Oak Hills home Thursday arresting one person and ended a sophisticated indoor marijuana growing operation.
Qi He Li, 26 of Oak Hills, was arrested after deputies assigned to the sheriff's Marijuana Eradication Team (MET) received information from Southern California Edison (SCE) about theft of utilities at a home in the 9100 block of Daisy Rd.
The raid on the suspected grow operation happened around 2:00 p.m., as MET Investigators served the warrant making contact with Li inside the home.
They discovered sophisticated marijuana grow throughout the entire 3,200 square foot home, and seized more than 1,700 marijuana plants.
They found that Li had bypassed the electrical system and is accused of stealing in excess of $69,000 in utilities during the past year.
"Indoor marijuana grows will not become common in our neighborhoods, said Sheriff John McMahon. "The Marijuana Eradication Team will continue to take down these grow houses, put the operators in jail and seek restitution for the massive theft of utilities."
Anyone with information regarding this investigation is urged to contact the Sheriff's Narcotics Division at 909-890-4840.
Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call the Wetip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or you may leave information on the We-Tip Hotline at www.wetip.com.

Linda - from Lafontaine, Ontario
When it comes to baking in a convection oven, gas and electric are relatively equal. The hot air that's circulating for convection baking means both ovens have relatively even heat throughout – a common difference with gas and electric ovens when you bake conventionally. So, it's simply a matter of personal preference!


text: I had to check my calendar and make sure that it was not April 1 instead of February 1 when I saw the news that Geraldo Rivera is going to run for US Senator from new Jersey. yes, the man who once gave Jerry Springer a run for his money and opened Al Capone's empty vault on national television and now just says whatever is on his mind whether it is true or not is going to run for US Senate. Geraldo? I guess he can say he has been in battle. Not military battles, but there was the one time his guest or audience member punched him and broke his nose. Oh, there was the time back in 1985 when ABC fired him because his assistant bought pot for Geraldo using a company courier. He bragged about how he cheated on all of his wives so that should make him the perfect politician. When his third wife was in the hospital giving birth, Geraldo called two ex-girlfriends and they spent the entire time his wife was in the hospital having sex. He also said it was a requirement for any woman who worked for him to also have sex with him.

Big shots like Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone and Steven Cohen of SAC Capital may garner the headlines.
Last week, David Johnson, senior vice president for strategy at Dell, took a new post with Blackstone.
There was only one little incident: Wei's husband was legal counsel for Blackstone on a major deal in China.
But Blackstone Group, one of the largest private-equity firms, is an obvious candidate.
Blackstone's investment will allow Versace to grow financially and continue to expand on a global scale into new markets.
At a little after five, Miss Blackstone stepped in unannounced.
He returned, however, to Oxford in December to hear Blackstone's lectures.
Blackstone proposes to transfer these lines to the end of Thurios speech, line 135.
How did he happen to be talking about Blackstone's Commentaries?
He also quoted 1st Blackstone, p. 374, and Viner's Abridgment, vol.

http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superst...s/benoitupdateWAGA, a FOX-owned and operated television station in Atlanta, reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son over the weekend, then himself on Monday.
eh? how do you work that out?!
wwe is entertainment based around storylines. yes owens death was tragic, eddies however was very much self inflicted (still very sad) - yet i dont see what relevance that has to wwe storylines.
wwe is a glorified soap opera, and in it they had one of their characters die - much like neighbours, eastenders and corronation streat do all the time. if they had of mimmicked the way, say owen, died then i agree this would be sick......but they didnt, they just created a storyline. This is nothing that doesnt go on in other entertainment everyday.......
its the way they purposley blur the lines though. I mean they tolled the ring bell 10 times for Vince when he wasn't really dead but they do it for Benoit who is. The way they handle a fake death and a real one is almost the same and thats such a lack of respect imo.
Look at Eddie, they had his friends/family feud off the back of his death and their love of Eddie, I mean wtf???
of course they make the storylines as real as possible! thats what any good story teller would do!!!!! If they didnt people woukld say its shit and unrealistic. when you see a funeral on correnation street with a fake priest in a real cemetary people dont say its too lifelike or realistic. its part of the story, and lines are meant to be blurred. or do you think all fiction should come with a disclaimer before it starts?
in regards to the eddie storyline. it was eddies family who suggested they continue the story in his name, as they felt he would like it and it would honour him (according to chavo, hector and vikki.) wwe even employed his wife knowing she was going to be financially hardup. wwe are one of the biggest givers to charity in the usa and defiantley the biggest supporters of the armed forces - pretty ethical from my point of view
Coronation...not correnation.
What is it with these wrestlers going nuts n killing their wives etc not to mention dying really early?? They all seem to drop off in their 40's or 50's if they're lucky.
didnt lex luger kill his wife miss elizabeth?

First off, wondering why it isn't included. Second, wondering why it isn't detected by apt-get when it is on at least one of the ubuntu or debian package lists. Also, any advice or opinions on TOR... it all seems kinda risky... Don't trust the few tutorials that I have found out there on how to get it working on BT5. Honestly, don't trust tor it's self... Developed by the Government...? Idk, sounds a little fishy to me. So give me your advice and opinions! Thanks!
Oh, and I guess some instructions on how to get it working on BT5 would be nice (I think I'd trust them a little more coming from here).
Again, thanks!

Three dedicated members of the Mount Saint Mary College
community recently reached an impressive milestone: half a century
of service.
English professor James Finn Cotter has tendered committed
service to the college since 1963.
He co-wrote the Mount's alma mater. He is the former chair of
arts and letters. And he's touched the minds and hearts of
countless students.
It's all in a day's work for Cotter.
"I take things one day at a time, each class at a time," he
Cotter taught at Fordham University in New York City during the
early '60s, before he began teaching at the Mount.
Of the Newburgh, NY home where he has lived for the past 50
years: "I had planned on just renting it," Cotter explained.
The professor has been one of only two people to lead the
Mount's 50 Commencement processions, the other being professor
emeritus Jim McEnery of Cornwall, NY. Cotter has also been master
of ceremonies since 1964, when the Mount graduated its first
"It's always fun to see the students, who are so happy to be
graduating," explained the professor.
In 1970, Cotter was awarded a Fulbright-Hays
Lectureship at the University of Oran in Algeria, where he taught
courses in American authors and the modern American novel, and
traveled through France, Spain, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Around that time, Cotter also earned a National Endowment for
the Humanities grant to spend a summer working on Hopkins'
articles. Out of this project, the manuscript for his book
"Inscape: The Christology and Poetry of Gerald Manley Hopkins" was
"Faith has been a great part of my experience here," Cotter
explained. "After my father's death, I started to reexamine my own
priorities and religion – that was in 1973 – I started to go to
mass here every morning."
Since then, the professor has cultivated "wonderful friendships"
with the Mount's chaplains over the years, including the current
chaplain and director of campus ministry, Fr. Francis Amodio,
Cotter says his legacy is what he and his coworkers have done to
strengthen Mount Saint Mary College.
"I certainly hope that the Mount continues to thrive," he
He thanked college president Fr. Kevin E. Mackin, OFM, and
former president Sr. Ann Sakac, OP, for "their excellent
leadership." Cotter also applauded the efforts of local businessman
and philanthropist William Kaplan, whose donations to the college
have made possible major improvements to Aquinas Hall and the
Dominican Center.
For Cotter, whose work is his passion, there's no end in sight
to his illustrious career.
"I enjoy teaching very much," he said. "I like the students, and
I have a lot who have signed up over the years who are not English
majors. They are there because they want to write, and I am here
because I want to teach."
Cotter's colleague and friend, communications
professor Sr. Catherine Walsh, OP, recently celebrated five decades
as a Dominican Sister of Hope, a community in the worldwide
Catholic Order of Preachers (OP).
"It's a life that has its challenges, just like any other life,"
revealed Sr. Walsh. "But I can only remember the rewards."
During her postulant year in 1963, Sr. Walsh lived on campus in
Guzman Hall, taking college courses (she earned her bachelor's
degree in 1970) and learning more about the faith.
"To use a cliché, nothing has ever been the same," she said. "As
a group of young sisters, we laughed; we cried; we became fast
friends; we loved the religious congregation."
With her new role came more than a few surprises, Sr. Walsh
"I was fascinated by what I didn't know about religious life,
including study, prayer, and other responsibilities," she said.
"One of my surprises was how warm the veil got, but how comfortable
the habit was."
During her half century with the Dominican Sisters, Sr. Walsh
saw many changes: in religion, politics, and even in the way she
and other nuns dressed. As the years went on, several of her peers
left the religious life.
Sr. Walsh, however, never wavered.
"I believe in the religious life," she said. "I find the four
pillars of Dominican life very enriching."
The pillars are:
Study: "Study is a deeper way of understanding life," said Sr.
Walsh. "Study is the soul of our mission of preaching."
Prayer: "Prayer in community and reflection on the gospel is the
source of our truth seeking," Sr. Walsh explained. "We are called
to deepen our relationship with our God and then to be the
incarnational presence of that God in the service we give."
Service: "The ability to grow and give all kinds of service is a
gift to me," she said. "I love teaching."
Community: "I live with four fabulous women," Sr. Walsh
explained. "They have been instrumental in helping me grow as a
person. Living in a community, you learn your shortcomings, and
they help you grow as a leader and a person."
After teaching seventh grade at St. Mary's of the Assumption in
Deal, NJ and St. Mary's School in Poughkeepsie, NY, Sr. Walsh
taught seventh grade at Bishop Dunn Memorial School in Newburgh,
where she would eventually become principal.
Sr. Walsh began teaching part time at Mount Saint
Mary College in 1983, and took on her communications role in 1985.
She departed in 1991, and for four years, was part of the
leadership team of the Dominican Sisters of Newburgh. In 1995, she
became the first prioress of the Dominican Sisters of Hope.
The consolidation of three branches of Dominican Sisters –
Newburgh, NY, Ossining, NY, and Fall River, MA – had been in the
works since 1988. As prioress, it was Sr. Walsh's responsibility to
help meld the traditions of the three branches into something new,
yet familiar.
"It was a process," she explained. "We had to help three
cultures become one. We had to find new ways of doing things, like
celebrating jubilees, and finances. We weren't just making policy
decisions, we were changing lives."
The key to good leadership, she said, was "constant
communication among all of the councilors and myself."
Sr. Walsh returned to teaching at the Mount in the year
As she continued instructing future generations, Sr. Walsh noted
that her own education is never-ending.
"It is with deep joy and gratitude that I celebrate 50 years of
learning to be a Dominican," said Sr. Walsh. "It's a
Cotter and Sr. Walsh are in good company: Fr. Kevin E. Mackin,
OFM, the fifth president of Mount Saint Mary College, was ordained
a priest five decades ago.
He has served as president of the college for nearly six years,
and as a Franciscan friar, professor, and executive for more than
50 years, including 11 years as president of Siena College where he
holds the title of president emeritus.
Fr. Mackin will be stepping down as president after the
conclusion of the 2013-14 academic year.
"I have had great joy serving at the Mount," said the esteemed
Fr. Mackin led the Mount in its first five-year strategic plan,
hired faculty strategically, and improved institutional practice,
while increasing applications for enrollment and expanding academic
Like Cotter, Fr. Mackin praised the efforts of longtime Mount
Saint Mary College supporter William Kaplan for his work on the
campus and at the Newburgh Armory.
Under Fr. Mackin's direction, the college launched "A Call to
Excellence: The Campaign for the Dominican Center" in 2012, to
raise $10 million for the transformation to a new, truly
state-of-the-art library and living-learning environment.
"Students and faculty/staff are absolutely thrilled with the
opportunity the Dominican Center presents," said Fr. Mackin.

Eating extra calories when you are sick - childrenGetting more calories - children
If your child is sick or getting cancer treatment, he or she may not feel like eating. But your child will need to get enough protein and calories to grow and develop. Eating well will help your child handle their illness and side effects of treatment better.
Change your child's eating habits to help them get more calories:
- Let your child eat when they are hungry, not just at mealtimes.
- Give your child 5 or 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones.
- Keep healthy snacks handy.
- Do not let your child fill up on water or juice before or during meals.
Make eating more pleasant and fun:
- Play music your child likes.
- Eat with family or friends.
- Let your child listen to the radio or watch TV when they are eating.
- Try new recipes or new foods you think your child will like.
Ways to Add Calories to Your Child's Food
Infants and babies:
- Feed your baby infant formula or breast milk when they are thirsty, not juices or water.
- Feed your baby solid food when they are 4 to 6 months old. Use foods that have a lot of calories.
Toddlers and preschool children:
- Give your child whole milk with meals, not juices, low fat milk, or water.
- Sauté or fry food (ask your doctor first about this).
- Add butter or margarine to foods when you are cooking, or put them on foods that are already cooked.
- Feed your child peanut butter sandwiches, or put peanut butter on some vegetables or fruits, such as carrots and apples.
- Mix canned soups with half-and-half or cream.
- Use half-and-half or cream in casseroles and mashed potatoes, or on cereal.
- Add protein supplements to yogurt, milkshakes, fruit smoothies, or pudding.
- Offer your child eggnog (with no alcohol), milkshakes, or prepared liquid supplements between meals.
- Add cream sauce or melt cheese over vegetables.
- Ask your child's doctor if liquid nutrition drinks are okay to try.

Ewanrigg Botanical Garden is noted for its wide collection of indigenous and exotic plants and owes its origin to the late Mr. Harold Basil Christian. Mr. Christian came to the then Rhodesia in 1914 as a farmer. He later turned his attention to botany and horticulture.
It was in the field of botany and in the study of the genus aloe that he made many valuable scientific contributions.
Building on his success with aloes, he later turned his attention to a cycad collection. In his garden which covered, 1,5 hectares, a very comprehensive collection of aloes, cycads and many species of small succulent plants was acquired - all of which were planted with considerable care and particular attention to their physical arrangement.
Some months prior to his death in 1950, he donated his garden with some additional land to the Government. The cultivated area was very small, comprising some 1.6ha. During the past 40 years, considerable development has been made. When the garden was eventually opened to the public and became widely known throughout the region, the need for expansion was identified in order to capture the interest of visitors throughout the year. With this in mind many hectares of land were brought under cultivation incorporating several features that include spacious lawns with grouped trees and shrubs, a water garden and collections of cactii and bougainvillea. Progress made over the past few years has brought 100 hectares under cultivation.
Ewanrigg has become widely known abroad and possibly the most favorable outcome of Mr. Christian's work has been the garden's capacity to create meaningful plant specie exchanges with other botanical gardens and numerous plant collectors as well as to create a richly endowed botanical habitat for both indigenous and exotic species. Ewanrigg has now become one of the largest aloe and cycad gardens in the world.
The area is predominantly a habitat for the indigenous miombo wooodland, which is the most common in the garden, with brachstagia species and parinari species appearing here and there. Exotic species have also been introduced in the landscaped regions of the Garden.
Picnic Site
The serene, calm and scenic environment of the gardens make Ewanrigg an ideal picnicking area. The sites are well serviced with ablution facilities, braai stands and water points. For those that may need to sweat a little there is an open ground where visitors can play volleyball and many other ball games.
• Garden viewing - aloe viewing is ideal from May to September when the aloes are in bloom
• Winter time bird watching - aloes and cycads attract a wide variety of bird species. When in bloom, aloes and cycads become a special fascination for sunbirds, which at times concentrate in large numbers to obtain nectar
• Bird watchers should make this a key port of call
• Picnicking
• Photographing
• Walks - guided and unguided
Why Visit Ewanrigg?
One of the world's largest aloe and cycad gardens Calm and peaceful environment Scenic views Wide variety of plant species.
How to get to Ewanrigg Botanical Garden
Ewanrig Botanical Garden is situated north-east of Harare. The most accessible road is the Shamva road. Visitors to Harare should take the Enterprise road, passing through Newlands and Highlands, continuing on the highway until the Shamva and Mutoko road junction is reached approximately 29 km from Harare. Take the left fork sign posted Shamva road and follow this road until you reach the sign post indicating a right turn, Christian Road, and drive 4 km to Ewanrigg Botanical Garden. Christian is a loop road which links the Shamva road and the Mutoko roads, hence the alternative is to use the Mutoko road. The Muoko road should always be avoided during the rainy season, owing to a high flow of water over the low causeway at the Mvinzi River. Generally, the roads are always kept in good condition throughout the year.

Mercury waste includes mercury-containing industrial wastes and also discarded mercury-containing products. Often mercury-containing products are found in households, and would thus be household hazardous wastes when discarded, while many are generated by businesses as well. Examples of household mercury-containing wastes include fluorescent light bulbs, thermostats, thermometers, and novelty items (flashing footwear for example). Businesses also generate discarded fluorescent lights, thermostats, medical equipment, etc.
These waste streams are not all regulated in the same manner.
Many cities and counties have developed programs to collect, recycle or properly dispose of household hazardous waste, including mercury-containing household products. These household hazardous waste collection facilities may also collect hazardous waste generated by small businesses that are exempt from regular hazardous waste management requirements. Contact your local Household Hazardous Waste Facility (HHWF) for more information on accepting mercury-containing household and small business hazardous waste. Several ways to identify a local collection center is through the following links:
1. Earth911
2. List of Local Household Hazardous Waste Programs
3. eRecycle.org for your electronic wastes
4. CalRecycle
For more information, please visit our Household Hazardous Waste.
Note that DTSC does not recommend or endorse any of the businesses listed above. If you would like your service to be listed, please contact us at (916) 322-3670 or (800) 700-5854.
Mercury-Containing Thermostats
On January 1, 2006, California law banned the sale of new mercury-added thermostats for most uses. The Mercury Thermostat Collection Act of 2008 requires manufacturers to establish a collection and recycling program individually or with other manufacturers for out of service mercury-added thermostats. See our Mercury in Thermostats web page for more information!
Mercury-Containing Vehicle Switches
The California Mercury Reduction Act prohibits the sale in California of vehicles manufactured on or after January 1, 2005 that contain mercury light switches.
California law also requires that:
Fluorescent Lamps
Fluorescent lamps contain mercury and are considered a hazardous waste when discarded or broken. They cannot be discarded in the trash. They can be managed as a universal waste, as discussed on our Universal Waste Handler/Recycler web page.

JKhedrup wrote:Is there any word on when Mingyur Rinpoche may start teaching again?
Mingyur Rinpoche is currently on an extended solitary retreat in the Himalayas. In truth, no one knows exactly where he is. In the tradition of the great meditation masters of times past, he is wandering freely with no fixed plan or agenda. His only companions are an unswerving commitment to the path of awakening and a heartfelt desire to benefit others. Throughout this period, he will likely be spending his time meditating in caves and hermitages in remote places. Meanwhile, the Tergar Meditation Community continues to thrive in his absence. Tergar lamas and instructors are holding meditation workshops and retreats around the world (including online) and there are many groups and centers that continue to follow his teachings. We expect Rinpoche to return in late 2014 or early 2015.The letter above was received in November, 2012.

Lama Norlha Rinpoche's dharma path program contains all the practices of the 3 year retreat and is designed for students who cannot go for a 3-year retreat or aspire to do one in the future. Obviously it takes longer than three years to complete.
This seems to be an amazing program ideal for those of us who sincerely aspire to progressing upon the path, but lack the $25k and the chunk of time needed for 3 year retreat (for the moment, at least). Lama Norlha has done Kagyupas a great service by tailoring a Lamrim to the needs of students and making it available for a paltry $150 registration fee.

It's five years of graduated teaching and practice. I think there are some shorter retreat commitments; definitely some practice commitments....and it starts next month.

WATCH: Cockatoo Rocks Out on Tambourine
There are plenty of humans who can jam out pretty well on a variety of musical instruments, but a recent video proves that the talent might be open to more species than we originally thought. Gary Jackson's cockatoo is featured in the video, gamely shaking a tambourine along with a cover of The Hives' "Walk Idiot Walk." Jackson told Storyful, "I was mixing and he was having all kinds of fun making noise on my tambourine and dancing." Put some more birds together, and you got a band my friend.

Bear Mountain's Movie "Parkumentary" Set To Premier
Bear Mountain's new movie will premier along with the Stepchild and Thirtytwo team movie "This Video Sucks," Saturday, September 19th immediately following the Hot Dawgz & Hand Rails competition. This is Bear Mountain's sixth movie and for 2009 they deliver a unique documentary called "Parkumentary." This film tracks 20 years of terrain park and snowboarding innovation, style, creativity and history at Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. Beginning with Summit's hand-dug halfpipe in 1989 and the opening of Bear's Outlaw terrain park in 1990 it all started in Big Bear. From the domination of Summit's Westridge and Ego Trip parks of the late 1990's, and the rise of Bear's All-Mountain Park in 2002, to new one of a kind features coming this season, Big Bear has been leading the way in terrain park development and helping to push the progression of snowboarding for two decades. It's a solid place in snowboarding history for a couple of resorts located in sunny Southern California.

Highlights include INCIDENCES sails, dual YANMAR 54 HP engines, bowsprit with gennaker, two electric primary winches, two RAYMARINE plotters at salon helm (E120) and fly-bridge (E80), RAYMARINE radar, FLEET 33 communication, Navtex, full stereo and video entertainment, dual engine controls at chart table and flybridge. It also offers the comfort and ammenities of a yacht of this caliber: generator, shoreside AC in owner's stateroom, dishwasher, washer/dryer, extra fridge in cockpit (in addition to fridge and freezer in galley), convertible salon and both bow compartments fitted with bunks. Two recent MASTERVOLT chargers and recent AGM LIFELINE service batteries keep all of this equipment humming. The yacht received a new dinghy in July 2012: AB 12 foot "super-light" Alu RIB (Lammina AL) equipped with a Euro-Helm console/seat and a Tohatsu 30 HP, two stroke outboard engine. The salon cushions were replaced in November 2012.
The yacht needs a new watermaker (all plumbing is installed in the starboard forepeak). A complement of solar panels would provide more energy versatility.
Her interior is elegantly outfitted. Liners and wood veneers are in good condition; Stratifill floors and floordboards are in good condition. Bathroom mirrors are begining to fade at perimeters. Bathroom and galley faucets are in fair condition; chrome is beginning to corrode in places. Most exterior photos and engine photos attached are January 2011 and interior photos are from March 2010.
The yacht is ready to take you to the island next door or across an ocean. The owner is very motivated and will consider serious offers.

text: Who knew Amber Heard even had an ex-boyfriend. Sure, she has dated some guys, but I thought all of her serious relationships prior to Johnny Depp had been with women. Anyway, the ex-boyfriend told In Touch that Amber is pregnant. He says he saw her three weeks ago and that the pair are still close and that she told him she is pregnant. This would contradict what Johnny has been saying publicly. He says the marriage is not because Amber is pregnant and that he is not a savage. Yeah, I don't get that comment either. I think he has been playing that damn pirate for so long that he has started speaking like him. Hell, maybe the baby is not even Johnny's. See, that would be some great gossip. Maybe Amber hasn't told him she is pregnant yet. Maybe Johnny hasn't had time to tell his kids yet or something because he has been too busy boozing and hot boxing. Oh, and he has that movie coming out too.

Corporatism Stifles Innovation
July 29, 2014 by SARTRE · Leave a Comment
For an economy to grow and create actual wealth, innovation is a bedrock component in the development of enhanced prosperity. Prosperity is an intriguing concept. Simply making and accumulating money falls short of establishing a successful economic model. This recent report illustrates a prime example. Facebook stock soars, as company briefly passes IBM in market value. "By most measures, Facebook is dwarfed by IBM: With about 7,000 employees, ten-year-old Facebook is on track to garner $12 billion in sales this year. The 103-year-old IBM has more than 400,000 workers and sold almost $100 billion of computer hardware and software in 2013."

When House Republicans called a hearing in the middle of their long recess, you knew it would be something big, and indeed it was: They accidentally blew the CIA's cover.
The purpose of Wednesday's hearing of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee was to examine security lapses that led to the killing in Benghazi last month of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others. But in doing so, the lawmakers reminded us why "congressional intelligence" is an oxymoron.
GOP aiming to embarrass Obama over Benghazi security lapses that led to killing inadvertently expose CIA base.

Demi Lovato Announces L.A. Show, Talks Ed Sheeran Duet
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
Demi Lovato and Ed Sheeran answered the prayers of fans everywhere when they came together to perform his song "Give Me Love," together at the Hollywood Bowl this week, and the "Really Don't Care" singer called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Thursday morning to explain how the epic duet came about.
"I've been a huge, huge fan of his," she explains. "I love his music, I love his album, so I covered his song and he saw it. And then he got in contact, and we were like, 'We should write together, we should do something together.' And then we ended up playing the same show at the Hollywood Bowl, so were like we have to do the song together. I was really really exited and super honored to do that with him because he's just so talented."
Next up for Demi is her Demi: World Tour … even though she just wrapped her Neon Lights Tour.
"I've been touring a lot, but the exciting thing about it, the tours are doing so well, we're just adding on more shows," she explains. And there's yet another date Demi is adding: September 27 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles!
"I'm so excited, I've never played Staples Center," adds Demi about the concert, for which tickets go on sale July 11. "I'm freaking out. It's incredible. … Come and see it!"
And even though she has achieved amazing success, Demi still gets excited about the little victories.
"If you don't, you're wasting a perfect opportunity to sit back and enjoy everything you've been working on, for me, 15 years of my life," she explains. "It's just an incredible, incredible feeling. And even when I'm in the car with my driver or something, and my song comes on, I'm like, 'Hey, turn it up, mu song's on!'"
Tickets for Demi's Staples Center show go on sale July 11 here … and fans can download "Really Don't Care" on iTunes now!

How has VHS managed for so long to make history come alive for citizens in Virginia and elsewhere?
Who will continue the vital work of educating the next generation once this generation is gone?
Both questions have much the same answer. Bequests and other planned gifts from generations past and present give VHS the necessary resources to keep at bay the constant threats of neglect and apathy.
Generations present and future have the same opportunity. You now have the chance to enter the Virginia Heritage Registry by including VHS in your financial or estate plans.
It's true. Most people really do have the means to give as they would like to give, simply by planning whatever deferred gift is right for them.
The following instruments have proven especially effective for friends of VHS who have decided to include VHS in their long-range plans:
Gifts that cost nothing during your lifetime:


text: Since the 5 worst games thread created alot of depression for most, lets pick the 5 best games to lift everyone's spirits...there was somewhat of a concensus on the 5 worst games, but with such a great history we might see more different opinions on the 5 best...I guess an easy answer might eb to say "the 5 super bowls we won"...but here are mine, and I'm only including games I saw myself...I started watching football and following the Cowboys in 1975: 1) 30-20 win at SF in 1992 NFC Championship games...not many gave us a chance and said we'd just be happy to be there, but we dominated them in the 2nd half and went on to clobber Buffalo in the super bowl 2) Roger's last game, 1979...beat the hated Redskins, knocking them out of the playoffs in dramatic fashion...one of Roger's best games and a tremendous come from behind win...who knew it's be his last regular season game 3) 1992 home win vs Philly...I picked this one because I was at that game and because it was pivotol IMO to the 1992 season and sent the message to Philly that we were now the beasts of the East. It was also famous for being the weekend where all the local Kroger's removed Philly cheese from the shelves...we had already lost to the Eagles previously that yr, but dominated that day. Emmitt ran wild and Kelvin Martin had a nice catch and run TD..the defense dominated Randall Cunningham 4) 52-17 thrashing of Buffalo in super bowl...no let down at all from the huge win over SF...one of many great Jimmah lines, at halftime JJ was reminded by the NBC on field guy that Buffalo had one of the greatest comebacks ever in a win over Houston in the playoffs a couple weeks earlier, JJ with the sly grin responds "we're not Houston" 5) 1993 NFC Championship win over SF...Jimmah guarantees on live radio that we'll beat SF, saying "it'll be close for 3 quarters, but we're gonna kick their rear ends in the 4th qtr"...Seifert responded with some comment about JJ's genitals, and there were signs everywhere that day about...one great one was "hey Seifert, they're brass"...game wasnt even close for a half, as Troy Aikman played one of the great halves a QB has ever had and we jumped on them 28-7...too bad Aikman got the concussion early in the 3rd qtr, or we might have hung 50 on them that day...Emmitt played with the busted shoulder and ran and caught passes at will many more I could ahve picked...will be interested to see everyone else's list and explanations...

Dave Grohl says Nirvana's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame actually left him speechless for once. But the silence didn't last long, and the drummer went on to say in a statement that it's hard to believe a band that started in basements and dingy clubs is receiving an honor like this.
Grohl also thanked the Hall of Fame for recognizing Nirvana as "pure rock and roll," the fans for supporting rock music, and his former bandmates, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic. Novoselic, meanwhile, also thanked Nirvana's late frontman, and called the induction a "great honor."
Nirvana will officially enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the induction ceremony in April. Their fellow 2014 Classmates include Kiss, Peter Gabriel, Hall and Oates, Cat Stevens, and Linda Ronstadt. The Replacements, N.W.A., and Deep Purple were among those who were nominated for the honor this year but didn't make the final cut.
