One of the most common phrases used to describe the emotions of expectant parents of multiples is total surprise. Though some parents may have had a higher predisposition to becoming pregnant with multiples due to age, fertility treatments, or family history, actually conceiving multiples almost always comes as a surprise. In a family where children are already present, multiples may be an even bigger surprise.

Many parents wonder how will they ever be able to take care of multiples when they have other young children at home. How will they be able to provide for so many lives? Preparation for the parents and the children at home is essential in providing a smooth transition for your exciting additions.

In most cases, families discover that they are expecting multiples several months before they are born. Take advantage of that transitional time to prepare your for your new arrivals. In a multiple pregnancy, it is to your advantage to utilize every possible week to get your home -- and your family -- ready for the birth. Here are some suggestions for preparing children of any age for the birth of multiple.

Educate Your Children

Depending on their ages, you will be able to explain in varying degrees what exactly is happening to Mom. Children understand much more than adults give them credit for. Your children need to know that being pregnant with multiples is a little different than being pregnant with a single child. Take them along for sonograms and let them get a visual picture of what exactly is happening inside Mom's belly. Begin talking about how the family will change, always emphasizing how they will still be loved and how mom and dad will still be there for them as well.

Plan Activities You can Do While Sitting/Laying Down

Early in your pregnancy begin to prepare activities you can do in a sitting or laying down position. Even if you are not confined to bed or reduced activity, you will need time to rest your body. If you are ordered to bed rest at some point during your pregnancy, you will need activities for your children that are easily accessible for the children and yourself. You may wish to clear off a bookcase close to your bed or couch and fill it with these items.

 Games: Board games, card games, computer games

 Surprise Boxes: filled with stickers, colors or other goodies for times when they are bored and need something fresh and new.

 Crafts: Paper, boxes, markers, crayons, glue, feathers, beads, etc. for times of creative, quiet play

 Books: Especially books related to new babies, or multiples in the house. If your children are old enough you may even want to get a few chapter books to read for long afternoons or lazy Saturdays.

 Movies: Save some new, never viewed movies to watch later in the pregnancy when you will need something new and different to do.

Involve Your Children In the Pregnancy

Take your children shopping with you for the new nursery items. Allow them to help pick out an outfit or toys for the new babies. Ask for their opinion on what the babies might like in their room. Make them feel a part of the planning and preparation that is ongoing. They want to feel included, not excluded. The older the child is, the more input and opinion you should seek from that child. While you may not always use your child's suggestions, at least your child will feel like s/he is a part of the process.

Expose Your Children to the Adults You Will Call On

In twin, triplet and higher order pregnancies, there is an increased chance that Mom will be confined to bed rest or even hospitalized. In that scenario, your children need to feel comfortable with the adults who will be taking care of them while you are incapacitated. Begin to expose your children to those people now. It will make you feel better should you need to leave them, and your children will be much happier staying with adults they are comfortable with.

More: Help for Siblings After Twins Arrive

In Part One, we looked at some ways to help siblings prepare for the birth of twins or more. Once they're on the scene, siblings still need some special attention to help them adjust to the new arrivals.

Hooray! You're the proud new parents of infant multiples. If you have older children at home, welcoming these new bundles of joy into the family can be a tricky situation. How do you balance the demanding needs of multiple newborns, as well as the existing needs of their older siblings? Often the older children feel displaced as the attention of parents -- and visitors -- is focused on the newborns. Here are some tips to help you in these transition months.

Prepare a Special Surprise

Invariably the multiples will receive a barrage of gifts from family and friends who have eagerly anticipated their arrival. Many visitors are wonderful about remembering the older siblings during this time, but there will be some who will not. Should your older children begin to feel resentful at the amount of attention the newborns are generating and the sheer number of gifts they are receiving, it is helpful to have a few small items wrapped for moments when they are feeling low. Your older children will appreciate being remembered during this time.

Encourage Visitors to Notice Older Siblings

When the visitors descend, they will have a million questions about the multiples. This often leaves the older sibling sitting on the sideline wondering if anyone ever notices him. Include the older sibling by telling the visitors about the newest things Johnny is mastering or enjoys doing. Try to talk about the siblings outside their relationship to the multiples -- in other words don't exclusively talk about how "Johnny is such a good big brother", or how "Elizabeth is such a good helper for Mommy."

Remember the older siblings as individuals and compliment them on their own individuality, such as " Johnny is really good at soccer now - you should see how he kicks that ball", or "Elizabeth has been painting some beautiful pictures, can we show you some?" Your child wants to be noticed outside their relationship to their multiple siblings.

Make One-on-One Time a Priority

Older siblings are not used to having to share parental attention. As much as possible, devote time in your day to the older siblings. When the babies are sleeping, play a board game or read a chapter in a book. If someone offers to help with the babies, use the time to take your children out for ice cream or another special treat. Where feasible, maintain special routines such as a bedtime story.

Praise Your Children

During the first few months, parents will feel emotionally and physically drained. In the middle of your fatigue, remember to praise your child. Tell her how much you love her. Help her feel like she is not forgotten in the middle of all the new changes. Emphasize that the babies will grow and they won't always require the attention they require today.

Console wars are often won and lost by the quality of their exclusives. Microsoft today listed off its announced exclusive titles to give Xbox One owners a taste of what's to come.
Marketing executive Aaron Greenberg highlighted three games coming through the ID@Xbox programme. In an interview with Gamertag Radio, Greenberg said, "If you played Limbo you're definitely excited to see what Playdead's bringing next with Inside. We know the guys at Capy make incredible games and Below has been a title that's been anticipated for a very long time. And then Cuphead is a console-exclusive for us. Lifetime exclusive. And so that's a big title that we've bet on."
Here are the exclusive titles that Microsoft has announced for 2016:
You'll notice that Scalebound no longer makes the list. It was announced yesterday that Platinum is pushing that Xbox One exclusive back until 2017.

Microsoft and Melco Group Sign Patent Agreement for Linux Devices
Microsoft has entered a patent agreement with Melco Group, parent company to Buffalo, Inc. of Nagoya, Japan, especially affecting the company's Linux devices.
According to the Microsoft press release, the agreement has Melco Group paying undisclosed royalties for embedded Linux and other open source software in Buffalo Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices and routers. Hajime Nakai, director and member of the board at Buffalo, is quoted:
"While we plan to increasingly adopt Windows Storage Server for our NAS business, we also wanted to ensure that our open source and Linux-embedded devices had the appropriate IP [intellectual property] protections. By collaborating with Microsoft on a practical business solution, we are able to provide our customers with the appropriate IP coverage, while also maintaining full compliance with our obligations under the GPLv2."
Microsoft did not reveal exactly which software patents are involved.
Software patentsReading between the lines of this news item and the original press release at MS website, it appears clear to me that since 2003 MS has managed to convince over 500 firms that Linux violates MS IP and that if they don't pay MS undisclosed royalties, they are going to face the menace of court attacks by Redmond.
I'd call this blackmailing.
Then, of course, MS talks about how "intellectual property (IP) plays [an important role] in ensuring a healthy and vibrant IT ecosystem" and calls these agreements "a reflection of both Microsoft's decades-long commitment to R&D in the operating system space and the high-quality patent portfolio we've developed through our R&D efforts". On their part, Melco have probably also agreed to say that they are "very pleased to be able to work with Microsoft on this matter". While, in fact, the agreement is the outcome of threats of court aggression.
The problem is that all these companies are building "previous jurisprudence", basically admitting that Linux violates MS IP, so that they have to pay MS to "to provide [their] customers with the appropriate IP coverage". With these precedents, it becomes more and more difficult for other companies to fend off MS attacks.
Luckily, there is still the European Commission, which seems the only authority in the world that dares curb MS pretentious claims. (don't expect any organism in the US to damage a company that brings so much of the world's money into the Country).
Note: one of MS arguments against the EU commission demands was that Windows could not operate without IE. Yet, now they are releasing Win7 without IE as a special edition for Europe.

The Obama cheerleaders-for-hire at Public Policy Polling dont even bother to hide that theyre proudly push-polling for President Eye Candy. This question appeared on a recent poll of likely voters in Ohio:
Which of the Presidential candidates do you trust more to make sure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share of taxes: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?
(Excerpt) Read more at twitchy.com ...
no bias there/s lol.
Could be worse. They could've asked:
Since all businessmen are out to screw the average guy, will Romney's experience as a big business exec hurt the majority of folks if he defeats their defender Barack Obama?

Lahore: They didn't even heed to India's warning and went forward with the Pakitan tour. Atlast Sri Lanka's cricketers paid a heavy price Tuesday for agreeing to tour a country nobody else was prepared to visit.
They only stepped in after India cancelled a much-anticipated January-February series here due to simmering political tensions between the two countries over the Mumbai terrorist attacks last November.
That cancellation was the third major cricket event called off in Pakistan in the past year, after Australia refused to tour in March and the ICC postponed the elite eight-nation Champions Trophy set for August until 2009.
It was a disaster for the Pakistan Cricket Board who said at the time that the Indian pullout would lose them least 25 million dollars.
While Sri Lanka initially committed to fill the Indian void the tour came into question after the country's sports minister, Gamini Lokuge, disbanded the interim national cricket board and sacked its chairman Arjuna Ranatunga.
But in December Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse finally gave the green light, making the team the first to play a Test in Pakistan since South Africa in October 2007.

Hi I wonder if anyone can offer some advice please. This is my first time doing a chocolate roses cake. I am making the chocolate roses myself. I want to know please how to store them before attaching them to the cake as they seem v. soft! also how to attach them to a chocolate fondant cake as there is ribbon going round the base of each cake too and the roses are to cascade down the front and also where should I store this cake before delivery. I'm worried about them wilting or breaking off as they are quite heavy once made up. Should the backs be fairly flat for attaching to the cake?
Sorry lots of questions I know but first time working with this chocolate modelling paste.

The legendary photographer that is Dylan Rosser has teamed up with the awesome guys at Gay Times to create something memorable and truly hot too! You might have seen one of their Naked Editions before, but this one is most definitely something to drool over. They've been teasing their readership for a few months now, making little hints here and there that something was coming in 2013 that would potentially blow our tiny little minds.
This hasn't been done before, but Gay Times have dedicated an entire issue of the magazine to the work of Dylan Rosser, and they've brought in a whole host of famous (and some mildly well known) men from around the UK to appear in front of the lens! It's an immense 102 pages of man-flesh, perfectly captured in the style of traditional modern fashion photography but without a stitch of it to be seen. It's very clever, very sexy and extremely flattering to all the actors, Olympians and singers daring to strip off and get risky.
As if all of that wasn't worthwhile enough, this Gay Times Naked Edition is also benefiting the Terrence Higgins Trust, a charitable organization that we can all support in their endeavours. The Terrence Higgins Trust is the largest HIV and sexual health charity in the UK, providing assistance, advice and services to millions of people every year.
So, you want to know who you can drool over in this Gay Times Naked Edition? We have Olympians Ashley McKenzie, Chris Mears and Luke Campbell, Kieron Richardson and PJ Brennan of Hollyoaks, Leon Lopez, Ben McGregor and Arron Lowe... (inhale)... and plenty more besides. For a full run-down of the naked cast of this edition you'll have to check it out for yourself (it's definitely worth it!)
And a big shout out to Makeup artist Evan Huang and assistant Joe McCormick, who were also on hand to help out Dylan Rosser for these shots, and a great job they did too.

Some Issues with Apple's Digital Textbook Revolution!
This entry was posted on Friday, January 20, 2012.
The announcement of Apple yesterday introducing a new way to revolutionize education in the digital world has raised some eyebrows as well. It's all very well to have authors write textbooks using Apple's interface and students using those textbooks (or buying new ones at really cheap prices) on their iPads, but some key questions have to be answered first.
The first issue that needs to be addressed is: Is it feasible to assume everybody will own an iPad in school and college to use the new interface? Students in schools and colleges will require an iPad for themselves and it should be within the reach of their pockets. Today, the iPad costs a neat $500, and it may not be very feasible for students to dish out that much money. Apple yesterday only announced the release of the iBooks 2; there were no plans mentioned about any further methods to increase the access of iPads to schools and colleges.
Ideally, schools should offer iPads on discount so that students may save money on buying the iPad and then add textbooks to it. When we talk about schools (especially grade schools), it is a little impractical to imagine younger kids owning an iPad and carrying it around.
The CEO and founder of Teachers Pay Teachers (an open education marketplace) Paul Edelman said that the digital textbook revolution by Apple and the subsequent reliance on the iPad is "either a brilliant strategy on Apple's part, or it will make its overall impact underwhelming. Teachers have already earned over $4 million on Teachers Pay Teachers selling course guides and other materials to other educators, something that shows many teachers will likely take up Apple's offer to create textbooks using iBooks Author and sell them on the iBookstore."
Another issue is related to the iBooks Author app. The catch is that in the end user license agreement, if any author creates an e-book, using the app, he/she will only be able to sell it on iBookstore. This seems a tad unreasonable, given that it's a free service.

Legal troubles for Wikileaks founder
Player utilities
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Skip to content
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Lisa Mullins: I'm Lisa Mullins and this is The World. Julian Assange is a wanted man. European authorities say they want to talk to the head of Wikileaks about sexual charges he faces in Sweden. Serious as that is, here in the United States authorities have other legal questions regarding Assange. The questions have to do with the hundreds of thousands of secret US government documents released by Wikileaks. John Bellinger served as a top legal advisor to the US State Department under Condoleezza Rice. He says Assange could face some pretty serious charges if he's ever brought here to the US. They include violating criminal statutes prohibiting the theft of government property and violating US espionage laws. But Bellinger says putting Assange on trial for publishing [elite] government information could be difficult for prosecutors.
John Bellinger: The US government, for example, will have to show that he knew that the release of the information would be expected to be damaging to the United States government. Now, my successor at the State Department under Secretary Clinton wrote a letter to Assange and his lawyers last week, telling him that release of these documents would cause damage to the United States, and asking that the documents be returned. And I'm sure that that letter was not just a nice "pretty please" letter, but it had a specific legal purpose to demonstrate Assange, having been warned, did still go ahead and put these documents up on the web; that this would lay the basis for charges under our criminal statutes.
Mullins: But if the pivotal point here is whether or not Assange knew that it would be damaging to the US government and to national defense to release this information, it seems to me that, so far anyway, it's very subjective as to whether or not it has done or will do any damage. How do they go about proving that?
Bellinger: Well, you've put your finger on why these cases will be quite difficult and why he will certainly make strong arguments to the contrary. That's why these cases can be quite difficult, and why, I think, we have not seen the US government immediately bringing charges
Mullins: Well, as they put together this case and look at what harm has been done or might have been done to national defense and national security in the United States, are we past the point, do you believe, that the release of this information would, if ever, cause any physical harm to anyone who has provided information to the US?
Bellinger: I don't think that we are past that at all. At least, I think that a number of these [cables] - and they are still coming out - have got sources of information in them that are not just foreign government officials who might be embarrassed by the information that comes out, but by human rights activists, by dissidents, by people who are lower level inside a foreign government and who could very well, if their names come out in the cables be subject to physical harm when it is seen that they were talking to members of the US government.
Mullins: Right now, Mr. Assange's whereabouts are unknown; could he potentially be extradited to the United States to face charges?
Bellinger: Potentially, yes, depending on what country he might be found in, whether there is an extradition treaty between the United States and that country. If, for example, he were found in Britain, we do have a very strong extradition relationship and treaty with Britain, and we extradite individuals back and forth.
Mullins: Alright, John Bellinger who served as a legal advisor to the State Department from 2005-2009. He is now with the law firm Arnold & Porter in Washington, DC. Thanks very much.
Bellinger: Thanks so much. Take care, Lisa.

Melbourne's Getting A Bloody Water Ballet Dedicated To Menstrual Cycles
I used to think periods and swimming went together like toothpaste and orange juice.
They just didn't.
All throughout middle school I used the "But sir, I can't, I have my period!" excuse on many an unwitting swimming teacher. (Sometimes on the odd awkward athletics teacher, too.)
And on the days when I actually was visited by my great Aunt Flow, there was a fat chance I'd risk a stray tampon string in the name of winning inter-house sports.
While it's understandable for young period-havers to feel a little uncomfortable about stripping down mid-menses (or stripping down in general), there's actually no reason to feel funny about plugging up and diving in during your shark week.
The Clams, a 30 woman-strong feminist water ballet team straight outta Melbourne, are helping dislodge this stigma around menstrual cycles through performance.
The Clams are putting on a show called 'Crimson Tide: A Period Piece' which they reckon will be a "bloody good pool party" featuring expertly-choreographed water ballet, beats from DJ Whiskey Houston and an actual water disco punters can get involved in.
Yep, you can come along to the Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre on March 18th and watch The Clams sync up, and it's all for a damn good cause.
Entry costs $15 with all proceeds going to Share the Dignity, a non-profit that works to ensure disadvantaged women around 'Straya have access to essential sanitary items. Tsuno (a social enterprise that sells sustainable, bamboo-fibre sanitary pads) is getting involved too, making this one feel-good affair.
Speaking to PEDESTRIAN.TV, the brain behind The Clams, Francis van Beek, explained how the idea for a show about periods came to be:
"The idea was a no-brainer. What are we passionate about? Empowering women. Normalising periods is a huge part of that. And think about it … synchronised swimming, syncing your periods, puns about the Crimson Tide … it's just too perfect!"The show is a light-hearted, creative interpretation of the menstrual cycle. I hope it will help create conversation and reduce the stigma of openly discussing menstruation.Serendipitously it's also a great show of body positively, with ladies of all shapes and sizes on the team. We even have two pregnant Clams - one is about to pop!"
Too bloody good.

Bhairon Singh Shekhawat
May 15, 2010 by Post Team
Bhairon Singh Shekhawat:JAIPUR, INDIA (GaeaTimes) – Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, former Vice President of India has died. He died today in Jaipur after suffering respiratory problems during the last couple of days. He was admitted to Swai Man Singh hospital on May 13 and was later transferred to the ICU. The political veteran of 87 years died this morning and has been confirmed by the hospital superintendent Dr. Narpat Singh. When his condition worsened this morning, the doctors decided to put the aid of a respirator. But that is not kept alive at last.
Bhairon Singh Shekhawat 11, India was Vice-President and was known as a politically mature and efficient. He started work as vice president in August 2002. He resigned from office after suffering defeat in the presidential race for 2007 UPA candidate Pratibha Patil. The latter is now the President of India. In his political career, he also served as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan on three occasions. Demonstrated to give Congress a serious competition in Rajasthan over the years.
He was in the Bharatiya Jan Sangh in the 1960s and after their split in 1980 he joined the Bhartiya Janata Party. He was one of its founders. BJP proved a considerable success with it and it was not until 1998 that his government was defeated because of the onion price issue. For bagging the post of vice president in 2002, Bhairon Singh Shekhawat Sushil Kumar Shinde defeated the Congress candidate by a margin of 149 votes. He left behind a daughter and his wife.

I've exclusively used Mixed Chicks shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner for years now. I normally wash my hair with conditioner everyday to restyle it. I've only used it a couple of times, but I love it! It does a great job of bringing my curls back to life and it doesn't leave my hair frizzy. I'm so glad I don't have to wet my hair to restyle it!

Hair Type :: Very Curly HairBOTTOM LINE: Exceeds expectations!
This might be the holy grail product I've been searching for. This definitely redefines and revives my corkscrew curls on 2nd and 3rd days. The product has a bit of slip/condish that smooths out the rough parts and glides on through. It also cuts way down on frizz. You can apply it all over or just on the spots that need reviving. It has a very light scent that doesn't overpower. I'm so glad my stylist had it for sale. I wish it came in a larger size!

I literally use this the day after I've wet and conditioned my hair and it really brings back the curls so I don't have to wet it again. Perfect for cold mornings that I don't want to leave the house with a wet head. I will say that it works best using it only one time after wetting my hair. It didn't work as well trying to use it two days in a row. This product is a dream come true.

I was looking for something to refresh me curls during the fall and winter months. A curly girl can't go outside during the fall/winter in Indiana with wet hair. This product refreshes my curls daily. After I take my hair out of the pineapple, shake, then apply the foam. I finish getting dressed for work and my hair is completely dry by the time I get in the car. WONDERFUL!!! Even better is doesn't flake in my hair after using everyday.

So this is me! On the left, I was more than 40 pounds overweight with high cholesterol at age 23. I didn't feel confident in my own skin. I was frustrated with trying to be healthy but getting no results.
A few months later, I lost 40 pounds. I finally had a flat stomach! My cholesterol dropped by 45 points! My skin was clear. I had so much energy!
But more importantly, I loved my body for the first time in my life. I felt sexy in a bikini!
And I was getting ready to run the Chicago Marathon - something I never had the energy to even consider before!
Drinking a daily green smoothie PLUS embracing a plant-based, whole foods diet was the only thing that I ever tried that stuck - and it transformed my health.
I Changed My Life With...
But it wasn't just my health that was transformed. My entire life changed.
My "ah-ha" moment was when I realized that I was spending my energy focusing only on diet and nutrition. But health is more than just what you eat (or don't eat).
Good health is also about how you live your life. Good health is about changing your mindset about food and cultivating happiness and joy in life. This is as important as nutrition and diet.
When I started to feel healthier, I realized what I wanted the most was to feel confident and happy in my own skin. I wanted to feel inspired to create a life I love.
My journey toward health and happiness led me to create one of the top green smoothie websites on the Internet where I make it my life's work to help as many people as possible take a holistic approach to changing their lives.
And it's where people like Kirby, Kim, and Andrea made the commitment to unleash their true potential:
So what is the "magic" of green smoothies and whole foods?
Why is this diet and lifestyle step so transformative?
3 Reasons Why Green Smoothies & Plant-Based Whole Foods Will Transform Your Life
1) Chronic Disease Prevention
The overwhelming body of medical evidence shows that diets that are higher in fruits and vegetables, as well as high-fiber, plant-based foods, correspond to a lower risk of chronic disease - including cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, auto-immune disorders, and a whole host of modern plagues.
Eating more plants and less processed foods is critical for good health.
2) Weight Loss
Research consistently shows that people who follow plant-based diets tend to have lower body weights.
Plant-based whole foods are naturally lower in calories, but higher in fiber. You can eat satisfying portions without counting points, calories, or carbs - and feeling like you are starving yourself.
3) You Will Glow!
Did you know that following a plant-based diet can make you even more beautiful? It's true. Saturated fats can clog pores and cause skin problems, so just cutting back on meat can have a restorative effect on your skin.
Also, many of the vitamins and phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables promote healthy skin. The lycopene in tomatoes protects your skin from sun damage, while the vitamin C in citrus fruits promotes collagen production, which may reduce wrinkles.
And these are just 3 of the many health benefits of green smoothies and plant-based, whole foods!
So now that you know what a plant-based diet can do for you, what will you do with this knowledge?
Will you continue to struggle to eat right, but fall of the wagon when cravings hit?
Will you continue to struggle against weight loss plateaus, or fluctuating metabolism caused by yo-yo dieting?
Will you keep wishing that you could be that vibrant, energetic, healthy version of yourself that you KNOW is locked up inside you somewhere?
It's time to unleash the new you - the real you!
I am going to ask you to make a commitment right now, because you are worth it.
You deserve to be healthy and happy. You deserve to reach for and grab onto your life goals.
I don't want your energy levels, weight, health or lack of confidence holding you back anymore.
I want to see you thrive!
But it's 100% up to you, right now, to make the decision to commit to a new chapter that will unleash your true potential.
Sure, you can go ahead and hit the back button, or swipe away to somewhere else.
But then nothing will change. You will still be in the same situation that brought you to this page to begin with.
Tomorrow will be more of the same - and next week, next month, next year.
Or - you can decide right now to take a different path - one that puts YOU front and center.
You can decide right now to unleash the healthy, vibrant version of yourself that you always wanted to show the world.
It all starts with a "yes," and a commitment on your part to embrace a new path. A path that has helped thousands of other people just like you find boundless energy, shed excess pounds, and fuel their passion for life.

"Tracy, you have helped me to change my life for the better. Based on information I have learned from you (I purchased your complete program), I have lost 11 pounds and I feel great.
I was one of those people who was worried about how my sugar would react to the smoothies since I am diabetic type 2. After the smoothies, my 1 hr and 2 hr blood sugar measurements never increased by more than 20 points over the before smoothie level. That's amazing!"
"I am down by 10 pounds in 30 days. I was pleasantly surprised as to how full I felt after having the green smoothies… I have gotten more fruits and veggies in my diet in the last month than I have in a long time. I have been looking for a way to move towards a more plant-based diet, and this has most certainly helped me to start it."
"I lost about 8 pounds in three weeks – I was gauging more by pant size and my pants in the waist went from 'not too flattering' to 'easy to zip'! You do great work!"
"Just starting week 3 and I'm down 9 pounds! Can't wait for lunch today with the veggie taco salad, I think it's my favorite! Feeling great and inspired to lose even more weight and get healthier!"
"I am now three weeks into Reset28. Here's what I think: Wow!
Not so much because I've lost 17 pounds so far and I can see my wrists again, and my arms are skinnier, and I can see past my belly, but because I have actually CHANGED my way of eating.
I have learned how to cook a totally yummy meal that is filling and has no sugars or unhealthy carbs.
I am no longer a meat and potatoes eater.
I no longer see vegetables as an addition to my meal, but as the main course of my meal.
And I am excited about my future health.
My energy level is way up (my daughter pointed out that I've not taken a nap in three weeks!).
I believed (past tense) that feeling the way I was feeling was just part of turning 50.
Now I believe that it is part of turning 50 if you keep eating a standard American diet. But that is not the way I intend to live!
I feel better than I have in years. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. I love my new life!
Thank you Tracy Russell!!"

Common Questions About Reset 28
A: Nope! You will enjoy real food when you follow the RESET 28 meal plan! The meal plans in this program include both green smoothies and whole foods meals, snacks, and even healthy desserts. This is not a liquid fast diet. It is a new beginning that will dramatically enhance your relationship with healthy food.
A: I have been helping people lose weight with green smoothies and whole foods since 2009. It is my specialty. I lost 40 pounds with green smoothies and whole foods, so I put all of my tips, strategies and experience into the Reset 28 program. Reset 28 is the "next generation" of my green smoothie weight loss protocol, which has helped thousands of people lose weight over the years.
A: People do Reset 28 for a variety of reasons. Weight loss isn't always the goal. Many people do Reset 28 to get a solid start on a life-long, plant-based diet. Or they have other health goals. Energy, reduced stress, and overall health and well-being are all themes in the Reset program. You can easily customize the meal plan so that you do not lose weight if you do not want to.
A: Most participants follow the RESET 28 meal plan themselves for breakfast and lunch. Then it's super-easy to multiply the dinner recipe to accommodate your entire family. Simply double, triple, quadruple – you get the idea – the ingredients and recipe to feed everybody.
Also, there are suggestions for adapting the recipes for omnivores all throughout the recipe section in the Reset 28 Manual. But these recipes have been tested and they are adored just the way they are, so your family is sure to find some new, healthy favorites!
A: Reset 28 is more than just a cleanse or weight loss diet. A short term diet might help you lose weight and boost your energy levels, but then what happens when you stop? The weight comes back and the energy evaporates! I don't want you to experience short term weight loss only to have you put the weight back on once you are done with the diet.
I developed Reset 28 as a 28-day guide that will transition you to a healthy, whole foods lifestyle that you can maintain for life. This helps you not only lose weight, but keep that weight off forever.
A: Reset 28 is not a program that is focused on numbers, rather it focuses on eating healthy and listening to your body. One of the reasons for this is because calculating the calorie content of natural, whole foods is not an exact science.
Fruits and vegetables will vary greatly depending on their size, cultivar (variety), season and even the region where they were grown. Even different brands of the same packaged, natural foods (nut butters, dried berries, chia seeds) often have contradictory nutrition "facts" labels.
In short, it is impossible to provide truly accurate calorie information for foods grown in nature. Over the years of helping people lose weight with whole foods, I have also found that counting calories tends to get in the way and leads to confusion.
I have found that a more effective way of losing weight and improving your health with a whole foods diet/cleanse is to eliminate the obsession over meeting number goals, and instead, to focus on eating healthy food and how your body feels. When it comes to whole foods, counting calories is just not necessary.
A: The recipes and meal plans in Reset 28 are largely plant-based/vegetarian and gluten-free. Some of the recipes can easily be veganized or "omnivorized". Plus, there are an additional 60+ plant-based recipes that come bundled with the program (there are additional omnivore recipes, too).
I have designed Reset 28 to be a program for everybody. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, or gluten-free – you'll find lots of recipes that you'll love in the program!
A: How much you spend on groceries while following the meal plan will vary depending on where you live, where (and how) you shop, and how many people you are feeding. Remember that while following the meal plan, you will not be spending money on expensive, unhealthy foods (boxed and frozen foods are often way more expensive than healthy, whole food ingredients).
The first week will be slightly more expensive as you may need to stock your pantry with healthy foods if you don't already have them on hand (quinoa, brown rice, black beans, etc…). Weeks two through four will be much less expensive than week one since you will have already stocked up on whole food essentials. I also share some effective money-saving tips to keep your grocery bill in check.
A: Reset 28 is not specifically designed for people with medical conditions, such as diabetes. However, that doesn't mean that this program is of no use to you if you have diabetes. While the meal-replacement green smoothie recipes might need to be modified, there are other recipes in the program that are low-carb and can be worked into your existing diabetic eating plan.
Ultimately, everybody is different, so it's hard to say if this program is right for you. I recommend looking over the meal plan, asking your doctor or dietitian, and modifying it as you see fit.

Afghani cuisine is mainly influenced by that of India, Persia, and Mongolia. It draws together spices from India, styles of cooking meat from Persia and noodles from Mongolia. The ingredients are fresh without preservatives. The flavors of Afghanistan include garam, masala, saffron, cinnamon, cloves cardamom, chilies, coriander, black pepper, parsley, dill, and mint. Onion and tomatoes are also important in Afghani cooking. Afghani cuisine is noted for its succulent kabobs. Kabob-e-Gousfand is a lean cut of lamb marinated in a myriad of spices and seasonings, served with bread and seasoned brown rice. The Kabob-e-Murgh for example is a delicious skewer of marinated and charbroiled chicken served on a bed of seasoned brown rice. Other authentic dishes include Quabili Pallaw, lamb covered with brown seasoned basmati rice and topped with chopped carrots and raisins, and Mantu, a pastry shell with onion and beef filling and topped with curried vegetables.

LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan — The first thing one notices about the new prison here is the smell, or rather the absence of it. Helmand Central Prison does not reek of sewage or sweat or old clothes or rancid cooking oil, the typical odors of an Afghan lockup. The air smells, dare one say, fresh.
Also noteworthy are the bathroom floors, which are sparkling, and the outer walls, which are made of concrete, not mud, like so much of this country's prison infrastructure.
Built in the insurgency's southern heartland with $6.5 million from the British government, there is no doubt that Helmand Central Prison is impressive. The only question is how long it will stay that way once Western forces leave and Western money dwindles.
That prospect is not something that Col. Hajji Raz Mohammed, the deputy warden, even wanted to contemplate as he proudly walked visitors through every corner of the prison, the bathrooms included.Continue reading the main story
Asked what will happen when the British Provincial Reconstruction Team that is a few miles away packs up in the coming year or so, he squinted in the bright winter sunlight of the prison yard. "It's very early to comment on this," he said.
He went on to detail all that the British are supplying to the prison — air-conditioners, refrigerators and even computers that allow the inmates, many of them former Taliban affiliates, to learn PowerPoint and Excel. There is also the clinic that treats those with tuberculosis, depression and a variety of other illnesses. The British team even provided two minivans to act as ambulances for prisoners who need transport to the hospital.
As for the Afghan government, which has been managing the prison since mid-2011, it pays for the salaries of prison employees and food. Colonel Mohammed expressed grave doubts about whether the prison could keep up its standards solely with Afghan government backing.
"No, our government will not be able to afford this," he said. "Our government is poor."
If a prison is, in some measure, a mirror of the larger society, then the Helmand Central Prison offers a glimpse of southern Afghanistan just as the surge in Western troops is ending. It not only shows the largess and aspirations of the Western militaries, but also the fragility of their efforts against the Taliban, whose presence in the prison reflects its prevalence in the province.
In 2009, the British razed the run-down structure that used to house prisoners here, with its poor plumbing and its dirt yard that turned to mud in the rainy winter. The new prison is just the first piece of an ambitious complex that will include a modern juvenile detention center, a women's prison and, with the aid of the Danish government, a rehabilitation center.
A walk through the prison with Colonel Mohammed reveals conditions far removed from the dungeonlike atmosphere that still exists in some places in the rest of the country. The prisoners, who wear traditional Afghan dress, live in groups of 8 to 10 in bunk rooms with the television tuned to local channels. Afghan news and music seemed to be favorites.
The hallways are swept clean, and the floors washed. The prison yard accommodates several hundred prisoners who sit in large groups, some reading the Koran, others taking literacy classes and still others standing in a line to use a communal cellphone — monitored by the intelligence service.
Colonel Mohammed said the prison had 37 surveillance cameras, which helped employees keep track of what was going on. When one breaks, "the P.R.T. pays to repair them," he said. What will happen when the Provincial Reconstruction Team is no longer there? "We will do it," Colonel Mohammed said, though he looked less than certain.
Gen. Bismullah Hamid, who runs Helmand Central and is described by the Westerners who work with him as a "visionary" in the Afghan prison system, recalled that when he was assigned to the prison, it was a squalid, crowded place filled with gangs and drugs. (Helmand Province leads Afghanistan in opium production.)
"Drug addicts were easily manipulated by subversive inmates, and they would start protests and rebellions," he said.
By providing new quarters and classes to keep the inmates occupied and "by treating the prisoners as if they are our sons and normal human beings," General Hamid said, uprisings and prison violence have dropped significantly.
The larger prison was a necessity on the cusp of the surge in Western troops. The prison population exploded as Afghan and Western soldiers detained thousands of people in 2010 and 2011 in their effort to sap the Taliban's power in the province. The number of inmates rose from 300 prisoners in 2009 to more than 1,300 in September, with more than half of those "political prisoners," the term used by Afghans for inmates affiliated with the Taliban. Three hundred political prisoners were released this fall after a decree by President Hamid Karzai, and the total population now stands at 1,043, Colonel Mohammed said.
About half of those are political prisoners. The rest are murderers, drug traffickers and other common criminals, a testament to the violence and poverty of rural Afghanistan.
A man named Ahmad, in an embroidery workshop, said softly: "I was a tailor, but I couldn't make enough money, so... ." His voice trailed off. "So, I am here for robbery."
On a recent morning, Ahmad was working fine white thread into a complex pattern on a pale blue shalwar kameez, the traditional Afghan loose pants and shirt. The prison also offers classes in jewelry making, calligraphy, tailoring and art.
There are also computer classes, which are particularly well attended by those who were working with the Taliban, said Asadullah, the teacher, who said he was serving 15 years for his Taliban involvement on the province's border with Pakistan.
"Mullahs and Taliban, they like to study English, and they are very happy they will be educated here," he said. "They do Activ 1 and Activ 2, Excel, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint."
An inmate in the calligraphy class, Majidnoon, 22, predicted that the fighting, for the most part, would come to a halt after Western soldiers depart in 2014. "As the foreigners leave the districts, the Afghan security forces will replace them, and people will not want to fight them," he said, describing his plans to return to his rural village in the Taliban-dominated northern Helmand and become one of the area's few letter writers.
Whether other inmates will find similar opportunities behind bars or return to the fight remains very much an open question.
For now, General Hamid is optimistic. "If we, the Afghan officials, stop preying on prisoners and using the prison as a source of money making, then every prison in Afghanistan will become like the Helmand Central jail," he said.Continue reading the main story

Neverwinter is a new MMO in development at Cryptic Studios and is one that many D&D fans are keeping their eye on. Cryptic has been fairly quiet lately so we wanted to know what was happening with Neverwinter. MMORPG.com's Bill Murphy caught up with Lead Producer Andy Velasquez to find out. Read on and then let us know what you think in the comments.
How has development been going on the game? What stage are you at right now?
Development recently underwent a big change as we switched from prepping for release in Q4 of 2011 to a launch date in 2012. We are currently back in full production for the game and this is pretty exciting for the team as we have an amazing base from which to expand our game from, a title that was, just a couple months ago, almost ready to ship.

The Congressional Black Caucus says it will allow two recently elected black Republicans to join the group if they ask.
The all-Democratic caucus had wavered over the issue since Tim Scott of South Carolina and Allen West of Florida were elected last week. Chairwoman Barbara Lee of California had pointed to the group's liberal mission statement as a potential point of conflict.
But in a statement Tuesday, the group said the two would be welcomed if they request membership.
West has said he wants to join to bring a new perspective to the group. Scott hasn't decided but said in an interview Tuesday he's leaning against it.
The 42-member caucus has had two Republican members in its four-decade history. The most recent black Republican in Congress, J.C. Watts of Oklahoma, who retired in 2003, declined to join.
The black caucus includes a handful of moderates but is mostly made up of liberals serving in safe Democratic districts. The addition of Republicans would likely shake up its weekly meetings and require its leaders to navigate around them to discuss strategy.
West, a former Army officer, said in an interview he's eager to steer the group away from "failing liberal social welfare policies that have caused the demise of the black community."
West said the black caucus must confront overwhelming issues in the African-American community including high teen pregnancy, incarceration and unemployment rates. Those are issues that require "competence and character," not the caucus' "monolithic voice that continues to promote victimization and dependence."
West defeated Democratic Rep. Ron Klein despite opposition from African-American Democrats such as Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida.
Scott, who won a seat left open by retiring Republican Rep. Henry Brown, said he doesn't see much need for a black-only group.
"My theory is that the world that I've always lived in has been a world that's been integrated," he said. "We can work it out together ... to no one's exclusion."
Scott and West are the first black Republicans to be elected to Congress from their states since Reconstruction.
Associated Press writers Kelli Kennedy in Miami and Laurie Kellman in Washington contributed to this report.

Aya The Mermaid by ArtokiWatch
©2004-2017 Artoki
I drew this (in a bit of a rush) for AyaAgain's conbook. I know the background is simple, but I thought I'd keep it simple 'cause it was likely it was going to be printed in B&W and I didn't want it to distract from the figure. I wish I'd spent more time on the fish and bubbles though *shudders* lol.
I used to be obsessed with mermaids when I was 10 ^^ So this pic is a real treat for my inner child ^^ thankx
this is a very nice one
Such a beautiful mermaid and a lovely name ^^
Two tails, one keeping up with the other? Najs
interesting tail.....
shes very pretty. good work
* marries Aya
Though the background is simpe,it seems nice.
Beautiful mermaid. +Fav.
She's majorly gorgey... I especially love her hands... Random- I know- but it's the truth!
The scales look magnificent and the colour scheme for it works so well.
The scales look magnificent and the colour scheme for it works so well.
the tail looks awesome ^^ I like it!
thats really kewl i envy your talent
Really cute, and even though the background seems complete enough it doesn't distract at all.
OOohh, very pretty! I love the background and especially her tail!
Ohh, i really like it. The back ground fits it fine. I like how her skin fades into scales.

We have a Bonavia Sheffield lifestyle 3 & 1 crib & dresser/changing table set in country wheat color(light brown), which we used for our son. It's solid oak, very expensive about $1,300 now, its about 7 yrs old but in great condition.
We didn't buy it, it was given to us from my old boss(her daughter was just moving into a big girl bed @ the right time for us ;-)
I am doing the nursery in purple & white so I figured I would sell this set-$400 take that $$ & buy a white crib & dresser from target or something.
My DH (dear husband) hates the idea, he said the new crib set will not be as nice & said we should just use it.
I understand what he's saying, really I do. I just wanted everything to match lol
What would you do?

We've all been haunted by made-up people. Novelists, filmmakers and painters have been trafficking in these denizens of the collective subconscious forever. Dredging them up, dressing them in familiar garb, and giving them voice and purpose and pain that we feel, sometimes too keenly for comfort.
In songs it's less common, though by no means unknown. The guy that got under Joe Henry's skin and wound up having his life story retold in a song called Sign, on his new album, Invisible Hour, is an especially uncommon example. It is also a good illustration of what sets this mercurial singer-songwriter apart.
"I'm close friends with the heroic Irish novelist Colum McCann," Henry explains. "He came to me one day and said 'I need you to write this short piece. It needs to be completely fictional, no more than 500 words - and I need it in 36 hours'."
McCann was assembling a series of stories for a magazine. Other contributors included Salman Rushdie,writer/actor Gabriel Byrne and McCann himself. "Because I love him and I respect him so deeply and I got to see my name in the same sentence as Salman Rushdie," Henry says, "I set to work."
As he saunters back to his family home under Californian stars, phone in hand, from a steak dinner at a nearby French bistro - "like I'm wont to do" - Henry speaks with the considered phrasing and unerringly fluid rhythm of a man constantly awake to the music in words.
"I liked it well enough and Colum loved it quite a bit," he says of the devastating character sketch that would become Sign. "But I found it was successful enough that I couldn't quite let go of it. It sort of haunted me for a couple of days and I started to wonder, is this a story I could sing?"
In Henry's world, that's not just a question of slipping a backbeat under a few chords and making it rhyme. Nor is he a stylist, relying on tropes from jazz, country, folk or any other set of preconceptions to imbue a set of words with authenticity or meaning.
The character in his story, an ill-fated miner's son who emerged from the cruel wilds of Canada about 100 years ago, had to find his music through much the same magical, organic process as any birth. He had to be unique or else fake.
"I think that there is a very real way in which sound itself has meaning," Henry says. "Not just in the melody that carries the words that it underscores, but the tone and the sound have very evocative meaning.
"If music ever sounds to me like it's just the scaffolding that is leading you up to the lyric that is incidental to it, then it's not a song and I'm back to the drawing board.
"I want to write songs that sound, once you've heard them, like they're inevitable. Like they were mined out of the ground like salt and nobody did anything but find them. Even if that's an illusion, it's a powerful one."
Part of that process is a deliberate liberation from any notion of genre. Henry's dozen-odd albums to date, like the work he has produced for Solomon Burke, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Aaron Neville, Billy Bragg, Gillian Welch and many more, have conspicuously failed to find a foothold in modern music's vast web of pigeonholes.
The nine minutes of Sign swell and ebb as much like a mural or soundtrack as a song. The shifting cloud of loosely stacked horns is played by Henry's son, Levon, over a gathering storm of Jay Bellerose's percussion, with flashes of ocean, war and other inevitable strife.
"At a certain point," the writer says, "genre distinctions become a fool's parlour game: If we can guess who you've been listening to, that's the meaning of your record".
"I'd much rather be working like Picasso, to be honest. I'd rather be painting that way, creating songs with that scope. It's a part of my reality, trying to get to the point where I'm free from thinking about how anything needs to work like anybody else's picture."
If the distance from the local French bistro to the Henry family home were longer, the broader gallery of Invisible Hour would make an equally intriguing tour, one suspects, at both ends of the telephone line.
"I'm keenly interested in being pushed around by songs," he says. "When a group of songs identifies itself as being a body, speaking together as a collective in a unique way, it needs to be preserved. Just like a movie. I just ask myself, 'Where are the songs directing me? How might they best live? On what landscape?'"
As ever, this one is highly unlikely to be overrun by the millions forever stampeding towards the latest pop rush. But even if he never gets a YouTube hit in his life, that nameless, loveless guy from Sign will probably haunt every living soul he meets forever.
"I find that too, in my own life," Henry says. "There are songs I don't have to go back to. They're just in your clothes, like your grandfather's pipe smoke. You just carry it around with you. And good luck getting rid of it."
Joe Henry plays the Recital Centre with his son, Levon, on September 12. Invisible Hour is out through Planet/ MGM. melbournerecital.com.au; 9699 3333.
