Roving Reporter: Cooling in an unconventional wayPosted by JerryG-OSM in Archive on Dec 3, 2012 10:12:43 AM
Providing software "knobs and dials" is a different way to handle thermal management on board level products. Most cooling strategies for hardware involve intricate heatsinks, extensive fan systems, or even complicated conductive cooling packages. With the 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors, there are more processor management options available through software that gives system designers and users more control than ever. As discussed in my November 12 posting, Roving Reporter: BIOS suppliers respond to manipulating the BIOS to affect cooling, the BIOS suppliers have taken steps to leverage features in 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors, for instance, the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology and Thermal Monitoring Technologies. But what are the hardware suppliers doing to take advantage of the work done by the BIOS suppliers?
In the case of blade boards and systems, such as AdvancedTCA, the thermal management is responsibility is within the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), a standardized computer system interface used by system administrators for out-of-band management of computer systems and monitoring of their operation. Intel was a key contributor to the development of the IPMI standard. In most IPMI supported systems is a separate Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that is responsible for thermal management. It monitors thermal conditions and makes system adjustments to fans and processors in accordance to pre-set trip points either established through the BIOS or applications running on the operating system.
In most cases, advanced operating systems such as Windows 7 and later releases of Linux do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to thermal management and processor performance management. The operating system either communicates through the BIOS or in some specialized cases, directly to dedicated monitoring processors provided by the hardware vendors. But the general feeling is that there is an opportunity for the hardware vendors to enhance the manageability of thermal monitoring in new board products with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology and Thermal Monitoring Technologies.
The biggest breakthrough is the improved dynamic monitoring and response capability in 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors. This gives users much more capability than possible in previous generations. Thermal Monitoring extends the capability to monitor to new levels, potentially making it possible to simplify future board designs by reducing or eliminating the need for external thermal monitoring circuits that were implemented via various microcontrollers.
Here is a look at what several hardware suppliers are doing today.
Advantech has a very broad range of board level products from single board computers to blades, many of them using 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors. AdvancedTCA products utilize IPMI but where Advantech really views the advantage is with the configurable Thermal Design Power (TDP) options included with 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors. Many customer requirements exist that can leverage TDP so Advantech now offers a mechanism for implementing "reduced power modes". More specifically, they are implementing static as well as dynamic "reduced performance modes" that allow their customers to run systems in borderline conditions. For example, running processor blades in chassis' that cannot provide adequate cooling for full performance modes or running systems with ambient temperature limits, the static cases. Or dynamically limiting power when a fan failure or other critical conditions (e.g. rising ambient temperature because of failing AC) are detected.
"There is a lot more thermal management technology available today than what is managed by the BIOS," commented Thomas Kastner, x86 Software Architect, Advantech. "Configurable TDP allows us to implement thermal management in a low level and failsafe way that does not require OS support. Of course we have mechanisms to notify the OS about reduced performance mode being triggered, but the point is that we don't have to rely on power-management capable software (OS) for the actual control." Architectures that use IPMI, BMCs, and now 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors give users very granular and dynamic thermal management capabilities.
The Kontron product line is very diverse covering many different platform technologies for many different markets. Many of the new computer platform products are now using 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors in several different configurations. Kontron subscribes to the use of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification developed to establish industry common interfaces enabling robust operating system (OS)-directed motherboard device configuration and power management of both devices and entire systems. They expose key ACPI trip-points to allow the user to manage the processor and thermal responses.
"We often look at the needs of individual customers and work with them set up the best configuration for their application," stated Steve Potocny, software engineering manager at Kontron. "Sometimes we use additional hardware devices to monitor and control the hardware so that the customer can set specific parameters that do not require operating system intervention."
Radisys has developed the Radisys Embedded Software Platform (eSP) that encompasses EFI pre–boot environment applications, user BIOS customization tools, and standardized APIs for low–level functions. Designed primarily for their COM Express modules, eSP provides easy access to monitoring and control settings via its user–friendly Application Programming Interface (API) calls. An API is tightly written code that interfaces between the OS and BIOS to check or set specific functions. These APIs can save developers the time and effort of writing and testing the interface code, providing a tested and proven call routine. The Radisys APIs include access to board information, backlight control, I2C bus, GPIO programming, HW monitoring and setting the watchdog timer. New Radisys APIs are compliant to the PICMG EAPI specification for COM Express modules. The PICMG EAPI supports reading values for various processor, chipset, temperature, voltages, and fan registers. Here the user can monitor thermal trip points and control fan speeds.
Commented Scott Fabini, Radisys, "The demands on SWaP constrained products could certainly benefit from the ability to optimize thermal management and processor performance at any level, including the BIOS." In addition to the capability build into the 3rd generation processors, Radisys adds additional sensors to the memory arrays to be sure that they are thermally monitored over a -40°C to 85°C operating environment.
Radisys includes temperature sensors on SO-DIMM memory modules, allowing the customer's OS/application to monitor memory temperature, along with standard processor and system temperatures. This provides greater coverage to ensure the total solution remains within challenging temperature constraints found in aerospace and defense environments.
In summary, the general feeling I get is that there is still a lot of room for taking advantage of many of the new features in 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processor family when it comes to thermal management. Many hardware suppliers are comfortable with existing microcontroller strategies but they are studying how they can better leverage the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology and Thermal Monitoring Technologies in future designs.

We Can Remember It for You Wholesale
Two weeks. Two Weeks… TWOOOO WEEEEKKKKKSSS!!
Yes, it really has been two weeks since my last post.
Bad writer, bad *smack*
Shame on you if you didn't get the above Total Recall reference…well actually I'll let you off if you were just in too much of a stupor to notice. A stupor brought on by the fact they are remaking Total Recall…with Colin Farrell…and not setting it on Mars…WTF??
I'm going to put some ORIGINAL Total Recall pictures in this post just to pay tribute to a great film and let you know I'm totally against the remake. Evil, evilHollywood.
So I've finally managed to pull my finger out and crack on with the end of my novel. Since I wasn't really getting anywhere starting at the last sentence I wrote and hoping the rest of the book would magically appear I decided to take the proactive approach and write out a brief synopsis of what could occur during the last 20k words.
It worked out pretty well.
I now know where the story needs to go to progress and hopefully that means I'll be able to do more than just sit with my fingers over the keys of the keyboard head banging to Planet Rock.
I'm desperate to finish the first draft of this novel before November so I can put it away for a while and concentrate on NaNoWriMo. The trouble is the closer it gets to the end of the year the more I want to run around singing about Halloween and NaNo.
I'm easily distracted.
You could say I'm like two people(?)
But at least with a plot I feel like I'm back on track. I have a destination in mind and I just have to fill in a few blanks along the way…why it's almost like been driven by a Johnny Cab!!
Before I had this synopsis/guideline to refer to writing felt a bit like this:
Now all I need is a clever way of setting up the three-boobied lady pic…sod it, BOOOOOOBSS!!

The Neko ninja—lit. cat ninja—are one of three major ninja clans found in Usagi Yojimbo, the others being the Mogura ninja (mole ninja) and the Komori ninja (bat ninja). The neko ninja possess martial arts skills and secret techniques, such as access to explosives, beyond what the other clans have, but this is due to the Neko ninja being the "normal" ninja clan, while the others have special abilities unique to them; the Mogura ninja launch sneak attacks by digging through the ground, and the Komori ninja can fly and launch aerial attacks.
The Neko Ninja are the main covert operatives of Lord Hikiji, although they report to Lord Hebi as Lord Hikiji goes to great lengths to ensure that no one can concretely connect him to his plot to overthrow the Shogun. Despite the secrecy, everyone knows who the Neko ninja work for. The Neko Ninja's main enemy is whomever Lord Hikiji sends them after; however, they are in a bitter rivalry with the Komori ninja, who are also employed by Lord Hikiji.
Early on, they only make brief appearances, usually as the odd spy listening in on conversations and massed attacks on the heroes. The first Neko ninja to gain any recognition is Shingen, the kashira (leader) of the Neko ninja, who attempts to steal a Muramasa sword from Lord Noriyuki, which the child lord intended as a gift to the Shogun; but the theft was foiled by Usagi who switches the sword with a piece of wood, and hid the sword on some woodcutters who were heading back to the palace.
The Neko ninja played a great part in the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy, where Lord Tamakuro plans war against the Shogun and the other lords, including Lords Hikiji and Noriyuki; Shingen teams up with Usagi, Tomoe Ame, Gen and Zato-Ino to stop him. Although victorious, the Neko ninja lose many lives, as well as their leader; and while their work during the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy proves how invaluable they are, they are greatly weakened, and at risk of being replaced by the Komori ninja.
The Neko ninja start to rebuild their ranks, and Shingen's sister, Chizu becomes the new kashira, after an altercation with Chunin (executive officer) Gunji. While Chizu is one of the best the Neko ninja have, it's her second-in-command, Chunin Kagemaru, who takes the initiative to ensure the Neko ninja remain the favorites of Lord Hikiji; but at the same time, he is currying favor with their employers, so that he can usurp Kashira Chizu. Eventually, after a number of failed missions, Kagemaru uses his link with Lord Hebi to overthrow Chizu; but she escapes the assassination attempt, and is now on the run.
With Chizu removed as leader, there is a power struggle in the Neko ninja; Kagemaru cannot fully claim the title of kashira while Chizu is still alive, and other ninja are launching their own campaigns to overthrow him. Many of them are hoping to curry favor with Lord Hikiji, the same way Kagemaru did, and factions of the Neko ninja have taken to daring missions in attempts to prove themselves, such as slaughtering a town to set up an ambush on Lord Noriyuki.
The Neko and Mogura ninja were featured in an episode of the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series called The Real World Part One, where Leonardo was transported to their world by a villain called Ultimate Drako.

REACH is future European regulation aiming at strengthening safety relative to chemicals - for human health and the environment. REACH stands for
|- for pre registration and registration
|- Evaluation
|- Authorisation
|- Chemicals
The first step was pre registration of existing substances , where individual raw materials made or imported into Europe had to be pre registered by the 30th of November 2008. This allows substances to be subject to one of three phase in registration deadlines based on volume and hazards. The phase in deadlines are as follows
|- before 1st Dec 2010
|R50/53 >100tpa
|- before 1st Dec 2010
|- before 1st Dec 2010
|- before 1st June 2013
|- before 1st June 2018
After pre registration , manufacturers and importers will form Substance Information Exchange Fora (SIEFS) for each substance to enable existing testing information to be pooled thereby removing the need for registrants to repeat any tests like animal tests that have already been performed. The costs of any new tests that have to be performed will be shared between SIEF members. The gathering of all this information will enable the registrant to prepare registration dossiers for submission to ECHA before the relevant phase in deadline. These will be evaluated to ensure each substance is safe to use from both a human and environmental perspective and if potential issues arise then their use will be restricted in those specific areas.
This is the " Global Harmonised System " and is aimed at classifying and labelling chemicals. The REACH and GHS regulations will therefore be closely linked.
GHS addresses classification of chemicals by types of hazard and proposes harmonised hazard communication elements , including labels and safety data sheets. It aims at ensuring that information on physical hazards and toxicity from chemicals be available in order to enhance the protection of human health and the environment during the handling, transport and use of these chemicals. The GHS also provides a basis for harmonisation of rules and regulations on chemicals at national, regional and worldwide level, an important factor also for trade facilitation.
The BPD stands for the Biocidal Products Directive , and the directive has three main objectives
- to harmonise the European market for biocidal products and their active substances such that product authorisation in one member state can be recognised in other member states
- to provide a high level of protection for people , animals and the environment ( from the use of biocidal products) through risk assessment. This requires the submission and evaluation of data relating to substances' chemistry, toxicity to humans and toxicity and fate in the environment.
- to ensure products are sufficiently effective against target species
This not only applies to suppliers of the biocidal product although they will produce the initial biocidal product dossier but also the manufacturers of the final product..
To be registered for the BPD , the biocide manufacturers have to produce a dossier of all hazards associated with the chemical so its effects are clearly understood.The dossiers need to be submitted depending on the final application of which there are 23 types split into 4 groups.
Once the biocidal product has been evaluated and assessed then the manufacturer of the final product needs to assess their end formulation as part of the BPD.

High school winter sports finals have been keeping me pretty busy lately, so I wanted to share a little of what I've been shooting. Here's some high school basketball coverage from the past few weeks.
Oklahoma Highschool State Swimming Finals
I was hired to cover the Oklahoma Highschool State Swimming Finals. I cover a lot of sporting events, but swimming was a new one for me, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites from the event.
Some Recent Photojournalism Work
I've been spending a lot of time lately doing freelance work for a few local publications. Since I haven't updated in a little while, I figured I'd share a little of what I've been shooting.
Ryan and Cheridan's Wedding
Ryan and Cheridan originally asked me to cover their wedding back in May in Oklahoma City, but unfortunately had to postpone at the last minute. Luckily, once things were rescheduled, I was able to get down to Cheridan's mother's house in Dallas to photograph this beautiful intimate ceremony last weekend.
It turned out to be a perfect day for an outdoor wedding, with just the right amount of clouds in the sky and a slight breeze to keep everyone comfortable.
The couple had just their closest friends and family with them to celebrate the occasion with a catered brunch, followed by dancing, before sending the couple on their way.
The newlyweds left straight from the reception for the airport to catch a flight for their tropical honeymoon.
Thanks to Cheridan and Ryan, and their families, for allowing me to be a part of their wedding day. It was an honor. I'd also like to thank Jesse Love of J & E Artistry for helping me out as a second shooter.
Yaniv and Jeanette's "not maternity pictures" portrait preview.
My good friends Yaniv and Jeanette are about to have their first child. They asked me to take a few photos while Jeanette is sporting the baby bump, but she asked that the focus be on portraits of the two of them where she just happened to be pregnant, and not the standard "Here's my belly with some cute baby things" maternity shoot.
We started the shoot outside the iconic Gold Dome building in Oklahoma City. Yaniv and Jeanette first met in a bar that used to be inside. The building is currently being renovated so I had to be creative with my angles to avoid the construction mess in the shots, but we were able to find several spots that worked well.
After a quick wardrobe change, we moved to a small park near the couples house. The weather was perfect with just the right amount of cloud cover and a little bit of a breeze.
I still have plenty of photos left to process from this shoot, but I wanted to share just a few in the meantime and say congratulations to Yaniv and Jeanette on their oncoming new family member!
Lily and Goldie
I have quite a few more photos to go through, but I had to share a quick preview of the portraits I shot this evening of these two beautiful, and very expressive, aspiring actresses. Lily and Goldie are both completely comfortable in front of the camera, and their ability to take direction so well made my job easy.
Janie's Bat Mitzvah Preview
Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the Bat Mitvah of a very charming young girl named Janie. The service Saturday morning, much like Janie herself, was relaxed and fun. The after party that evening took place at a glass blowing studio, with all the guests receiving hand blown glass flowers in the colors of their choosing. The rest of the photos will be up on the proofing page within a day or two, but here's a quick preview just to show what a fun day this was.
Spring Soccer Kickoff
I recently covered a pre-season high school soccer tournament for Vype Magazine. It was a warm and sunny day amidst a string of cold and grey ones, so the athletes were eager to be on the field and the conditions were perfect for capturing some good action.

Sickle cell anemia and sickle cell temper Sickle Cell Anemia
Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disease of the blood disease causing episodes of severe pain and vulnerability to infections, anemia, chronic blood decomposition, and organ damage, in some cases death. It is produced by the inheritance of sickle cell gene from both parents.
The picture or the situation of these minor anemia (or what is called a feature of sickle cell), which often do not cause symptoms occurs when someone inherits the sickle cell gene from only one parent.
Sickle cell anemia patients are in red blood cells have a photograph of abnormal hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin S and the letter S derived from the word Sickle any machete. Indeed, the low levels of oxygen, hemoglobin S makes a solid sticks minutes to make cells in turn, is taking the bow, each form crescent-shaped like a sickle, hence the label (ie, rather than oval-shaped cells are also
Should be, it takes a curved form Mqosa Kalmngel or hook). As a result, cells become very solid and easy to crash, leading to anemia bloody disintegration.
Beyond this, the sickle cell, because of its form is not normal, you can not start easily from high-vascular cell body shall meet together and fill these vessels were less blood flow (and therefore less oxygen) contained the body tissues. This causes more distortion of the cells and can block the blood inflow of alien tissue.
Without oxygen the body begins to be exposed to harm, and this is the source of the pain caused from sickle cell anemia, which is called crisis (or shift or ecstasy) Sickle cell Sickle Cell Crisis.
The infected person may feel pain in the bones and damage to kidneys and blood in the urine, and sometimes damage the intestines and lungs. Sickle cell crisis affecting the brain can cause cerebral stroke or convulsions or loss of consciousness.
In the early sickle cell tend to be lodged until it is destroyed in the liver and spleen, leading to the short lifespan of red blood cells and a lack of numbers.
Anemia if severe, can make a person with a short quick breaths stress.
Sickle cell anemia and image of minor often afflict blacks and Latinos from the assets belong to the Caribbean. Because of the impact of sickle cell disease devastating to the members of the body and a person's ability to live in good health, they reduce the average life expectancy to about 40 years.
A blood test called a test for a few minutes to move the electric hemoglobin can identify the persons who have either had sickle cell anemia or, in their minor. Recommend testing of all newborns to detect sickle cell anemia.
There is also a test of the pre-birth to determine whether the fetus will suffer from sickle cell anemia or will carry the genetic character only (ie, small image) or will never be affected. In 3 of every 4 cases if both parents carry the fetus moving, the prenatal test will reveal that the fetus will not get sickle cell anemia.
If one parent has only capacity genetic sickle cell, there is no chance to catch their children sickle cell anemia. The son, who both parents have the genetic capacity, it would have had thus an opportunity by 25% because inherits sickle cell anemia. Women with sickle cell anemia are vulnerable to infection at a higher level abortion and low birth weight babies.
The form of sickle cell
In the case of sickle cell anemia, changes the form of red blood cells (which are round and flexible in the normal case) cells become sickle shape and stiff. These abnormal cells are fragile, easily broken, leading to anemia, and tend to fill the small blood vessels Ä causing severe pain.
Symptoms often do not occur until the child reaches the age of six months and sickle cell anemia affects people in different ways. Some feel the impact of very few Visttia easily controlled, while others suffer severe pain because of the crisis (or shift) need the sickle cell treatment in hospital.
Most common symptoms of sickle cell anemia is a common occurrence of periods of intense pain in the joints, back, abdomen and chest. If not dealt with the crisis (or heart) has a permanent tissue damage occurs. And crises are more common during the state of infection or following infection in the body.
Any infection can make the anemia worse. Bacterial infections such as meningitis and pneumonia are more common among infants and children infected yolk sickle cell anemia and which is
The main cause of death.
Introduce another include neurological damage and delayed growth and development of the body and skin ulcers legs. In addition, there may be cases of the men's long-term painful erections.
Children may develop painful swelling in the fingers of the hands and feet, and the adults they may be more susceptible to gallstones. Symptoms may become worse or more frequent in the case of pregnancy or the presence in upland areas or exposure to a surgical procedure or anesthesia or infections.
Treatment Options
There are many treatments to prevent complications and alleviate suffering, but there is no cure for most patients of sickle cell anemia. Some patients may recover through a bone marrow transplant. But the goal of treatment for most patients is to prevent crises.
There is an effective medication called hydroxyurea is now available to reduce the number of shifts.
Address the heart causing severe pain with painkillers and intravenous fluids and oxygen.
Given antibiotics in case of doubt in the presence of infection, and blood being taken for the patient if they become very severe anemia.
Prevent infection starts at the age of two months to give vaccines against bacteria Imovils influenza virus and hepatitis B and pneumonia. At the age of 4 months must begin with the infant to receive daily doses of the antibiotic penicillin, should continue to receive those doses until adulthood. In the later stages of life are influenza vaccines is also important.
To prevent the red blood cells from the pool, you need to drink two liters of water a day at least and avoid the hard effort that increases your needs for oxygen.
Give special attention to the health of your teeth in order to prevent contamination gums and inflammation.
Go directly to the doctor to treat any disease or condition of infection or injury. Medal of pregnancy and the identification of special medical your can will save your life in a crisis of sickle cell.

With this type of web area organizing, each consumer pays just for their account, which decreases the complete cost each individual considerably. There are various hosting accounts varying from one organizing vendor to an additional, equipping different quotas of web server storage space and month-to-month bandwidth, different email quotas and so forth. The privilege is that you can acquire an account that will certainly supply the specifications your web page in fact demands. You will certainly not should pay lots of money for a bundle you will not use, or end up with a small sized bundle that can not hold the site. We, at I Like Myhost- Hosting, provide a great choice of shared hosting accounts proper for individual or small business portals that also include pre-installed script-powered platforms like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress – to make things easier. If you commence with a less powerful bundle and you need even more capabilities, moving to a premium account takes simply a click.
A disadvantage of the shared webhosting setting is that the servers have some software application applications mounted on them and also you can not activate additional software program. Provided sites, primarily web store fronts, demand applications to be activated on the hosting server for them to run, and also with a common hosting account, you could mount just software application that does not demand full web server root gain access to. Digital Web servers and also Devoted Servers
For internet sites that ask for complete root-level gain access to, or if your site has many thousands or perhaps countless day-to-day visitors, what you need is an online private servers or a dedicated web server. An exclusive online server is a software application emulation of a specialized service and also it does in precisely similarly.
Virtual Exclusive Internet Web servers
Both options commonly supply complete root-level gain access to and can be rebooted via a software application system by the consumer, autonomously from the web hosting provider. Like the common webhosting plans, the online private servers as well as the devoted web server strategies consist of varied functionalities depending upon what the hosting firm offers. A virtual web server webhosting bundle includes assured web server storage space, arbitrary access memory and central processing unit use quotas that could occasionally be boosted for brief time periods gave that there are extra sources on the physical server. With a devoted hosting server, the only limit is the hardware it is utilizing, and also it can be accelerated by altering or including parts. A VPS web server is much easier to handle as it comprises a virtualization platform, which can be used to reboot it, to install software program applications, check statistics, and more. The administration of a devoted hosting web server is a lot more intricate, so such a package prefer to be utilized by proficient customers.
Devoted Servers
Still, given webhosting firms supply handled committed internet server hosting services where they execute webhosting server management jobs in behalf of the customer. This could be a component of bundle or an additional alternative.
Prior To Getting to a Decision in Millport
Deciding on the top organizing plan is important as it can affect the correct functioning of an online site. Before selecting a plan, contrast the pros and cons, check totally all the requirements for the internet portal to function effectively, especially if it is script-driven.

Choose from IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training
IELTS Academic
Two types of IELTS test – IELTS Academic is for people planning to study in higher education or seeking professional registration. It assesses whether you are ready to begin studying or training in an environment where English is the language used.
IELTS Academic doesn't assume that test takers have already mastered (or even partly have) the range of skills they are likely to need at college or university. For this reason, while the test reflects some of the features of academic language, it does not aim to simulate academic study tasks in their entirety. This approach is widely supported by the institutions that recognise IELTS.

So I asked my 5 year old some questions about ADHD today and I figured I would share his responses, along with some things that we use that have been proving effective for him.
Me: What is ADHD?
G: Pulling your hair problems (he also has trichotillomania)
Me: How does it feel to have ADHD?
G: Really hard to control yourself.
Me: What makes you feel better?
G: When I use a fidget toy. (See affiliate links)
Me: Do you like taking medicine?
G: NO ( Well, who does?)
Me: How does the medicine make you feel?
G: Kinda good.
Me: What do you wish other people knew about ADHD?
G: That you can't control it and it's too hard to control it.
As you can see, he wishes he could control himself but he can't. And that is heartbreaking to me. Impulse control has been his biggest hurdle and we are still trying to jump over it. Even with therapy, medication and objects to help him focus there is still so much work we have to do every day. We have to be very conscious in our daily lives to make sure we make him aware when he is pulling his hair, or talking out of turn or hitting his brother because he isn't yet able to recognize this stuff. It is my job to be an advocate for him, and I will do so every single moment of every day until his life is as easy as it should be. We love amazon prime so much and order regularly from it. We have found through his school and our own trial and error a few things that make life a little easier for him.
Below I am going to share some of the things that we use at home and that he uses at school. Hopefully, these will work for you too!
G: I love that this cube has a lot of little clicky things to make my hands busy.
G: I like that you can make different shapes and stuff with this one. And it feels cool.
G: I like to turn in this seat and it helps me stay in my chair.
G: This is super squishy. (Teacher uses this as a "safe place" for G to when he needs a break.
Let me know what you think, and make sure to share with your friends! Also, if you have toys or other things that work for you, share them!

Mary McDonald CD(DONA)
I am the wife of a wonderful man and mother of two beautiful children born in 1999 and 2007. I live in Irvine, CA and enjoy camping and hiking with my family in my spare time. I am an active member of my church and have a passion to serve others. I have an open mind and an open heart to people of all faiths and backgrounds. As your doula, I respect your personal beliefs and desires. I'd love to serve you and your family during your birthing time to achieve a satisfying birth experience!
In January of 2011 I started my training with a DONA (Doulas of North America) approved workshop taught by Stacey Scarborough. Part of my training for certification required me to read an extensive list of books and have experience assisting women/families. I am a graduate of the doula internship program at South Coast Midwifery. For each of the births I attended I was evaluated by both the mother and the midwife in attendance. I'd be happy to share these, or more recent evaluations, with you upon request. I have also assisted several births as a midwife's assistant. As of June 2013 I have assisted with over 15 births!
I became DONA certified on May 2, 2013!
My Personal Birth Experiences
I gave birth to my daughter in 1999 in the same hospital I was born in. I wanted to try to labor without getting an epidural. My labor started in the middle of the night when my water broken. Several hours later with little to no contractions I was given pitocin. Later on, a pain reliever was put through my IV. As it approached later morning, without a night of sleep, I decided it was time for an epidural so I could rest for the main event. After that experience I realized that there had to be a better way to give birth. It wasn't a bad experience, but it wasn't what I thought God had intended when he chose women to go through the process of birthing a child. I didn't know that my doctor wouldn't be there until the last few minutes. I wanted a constant presence in the room who I was familiar with. One day less than eight years later I gave birth to my son at an Orange County birth center attended by my beautiful midwife and her assistants. I loved that I was attended full time by women that I had known prior to my birthing time. I absolutely loved my second birth experience and wouldn't change a thing, other than having a doula for just a little more personalized care. The second labor was long and he had a hard time coming out. I think if I had chosen to have a doula I may have had the opportunity to try a greater variety of positions to aide in his descent.

Our favorite unofficial holiday, 4/20, is here once again. As eager as you may be to wake 'n' bake (if you haven't already), you'll first want to peruse this list of products that will step up your celebrations. We no longer live in a time where we are limited to the tradition of rolling papers and cut cigarillo wraps.
This is 2016 – we've got edibles, vaporizers, suppositories, and all kinds of advanced ways to smoke up. Hell, we've even got instructional YouTube videos of Seth Rogen rolling a joint.
So grab a snack, kick your feet up, and embrace the progress we've made.
Happy 4/20, guys.
SLX 2.0 Grinder
Let's start off with the basics. Whether you're digging shake out of your fingernails or still using that deli-bought grinder you got when you were 16, chances are you need an upgrade. The no-frills SLX 2.0 is constructed with aerospace-grade aluminum coated in non-stick ceramic, making it a down and dirty piece that never needs cleaning.
G Pen Elite
Not everyone is bold enough to be lighting up in broad daylight, but today is a special day. The G Pen Elite packs serious punch into a sleek package for those looking to stay under the radar. Featuring a true 360-degree oven, the vape evenly envelops your freshly ground aromatic blends in a warm, ceramic hug.
Stink Sack Masterkush Credit Card Bags
Honestly, your friends are going to be pretty skeptical about the "fire" you've been bragging about if it comes triple-wrapped in sandwich bags. Show up in style with these smell-proof Stink Sacks. This one is particularly discreet and fits right in with the other valuables in your wallet.
Pufftec Fumo iPhone 6 Wallet
While you're lining your wallet with the good stuff, why not update that too? Man, if you could fit your phone in there you'd really be set. Meet Fumo, an all-in-one case for the iPhone 6 that bears a wallet, a Mazikara (Japanese for "rolling dish"), and a paper dispenser. Handcrafted from vegetable-tanned Italian leather, pulling one of these out of your pocket will elevate your status as a sophisticated celebrant.
Dr Dabber Aura
We get it, not everyone is into the whole grinding and rolling thing. That's why Dr. Dabber developed the Aura, a pen that delivers the convenience of concentrates without compromising flavor. The fully magnetic piece boasts a smooth, no-screw design with three atomizer options and heat settings that make this pen a big hit (pun intended).
Herb Cookbook
No holiday party is complete without some homemade baked goodies, but not everyone is so talented. The authors of HERB have put together a neat cookbook with step-by-step recipes that make edibles accessible to anyone curious about the culinary capabilities of cannabis.
Foria Suppository
For the female readers on the site, we've got something special. If your monthly visitor happens to pull up on your holiday, the team at Foria has you covered with these vaginal suppositories designed to maximize the muscle relaxing and pain relieving properties of cannabis without giving you a crazy trip. Clutch.
Firefly 2 Vaporizer
The Firefly 2 was made for the baller with a fear of commitment. Whether you prefer flower or concentrate, the 55 laser drilled micro jets superheat the material of your choice to a smokin' 400°F in just three seconds. The instant heating means your goods only vaporize when inhaling. Look at you being all economical.
Cam'ron x Reebok Ventillator Supreme "Purple Haze"
This holiday may be about the activities, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate in style. Pull up to the cyph in these "Purple Haze" Reeboks. The purple suede and smoky iridescent heel show you know what's up and if you need further validation, Cam'ron is on the insoles.
Hemp Soap on a Rope
After a long day of wholesome fun with the homies, you'll need to wash off that dry rub of Cheetos dust you've been droning around in. Keep it festive with this Hemp Soap on a Rope. This little green guy is infused with moisturizing hemp-seed oil to keep your skin clean, fresh, and ready to do it all over again tomorrow.

Ottawa, Ontario, Thursday, June 8, 2017
I'm delighted to join you here for this investiture ceremony of the YMCA Fellowship of Honour.
Today, we recognize those who have given so much not just to the YMCA, but also to their communities and this country.
But they would be the first to tell you that they didn't get here on their own.
After all, it takes a lot of people working together to make great things happen at the community level.
This is what the YMCA does so well. It builds communities of caring. This is but one reason that governors general have been patron of the YMCA for more than 70 years, a tradition I've been proud to continue.
And what a tradition you have! Consider the facts:
These numbers demonstrate what we can accomplish when we pool our talents, resources and goodwill.
An example of this would be when Canadians, including the supporters of the YMCA, helped welcome thousands of refugees to Canada. I'm so pleased to see the YMCA continue to take up the call to action.
I know how hard each of you has worked, not just on this issue, but on many others. You make our country a better place.
It's what you do.
It's what makes you worthy of this prestigious award.
You exemplify the motto of Sir George Williams, founder of the YMCA: "It is not how little but how much we can do for others."
And you have done so much.
Thanks to you, Canadians—especially young Canadians—are able to access programs and services they need. Your focus on families, physical fitness and early childhood education makes sure that Canadians are stronger, in mind, body and spirit.
With this investiture as officers and companions of the Fellowship, we have the opportunity to say thank you.
Thank you for your volunteerism and philanthropy.
Thank you for putting others first.
And thank you for all that you do for Canada.
Congratulations to all of you.

Photography of People
I first started taking pictures of people when working on a portfolio and mixing architectural materials and fashion designs. I needed a model for my work, and the collaborative aspect got me hooked. I enjoy bringing together mixed visions and developing concepts and ideas with another like-minded and creative individual.
I sometimes stumble upon an interesting moment and ask reluctantly if I can capture it. This is a moment from Union Station in Washington DC.
Over the years I have had the wonderful experience of working with some passionate models as well as everyday people. Casual settings, intimate moments, and sometimes candid. No two moments are the same, and you always leave having made a connection that otherwise may have been passed.

In celebration of Presidents' Day we honor John F. Kennedy, Jr., to whom this blog is dedicated. Here is his inaugural speech, narrated by today's prominent Americans reflecting the spirit of his commitment to the Remarkable Great Experiment:
President Obama speaks regularly about how the United States government should encourage the development and deployment of clean technology to reduce our dependence on oil, especially the oil imported from countries that hate us. I couldn't agree more. The problem is, though, that no matter who sits in the White House, there are thousands of nameless unaccountable career bureaucrats who arbitrarily stonewall the development of the very resources that the President himself is promoting. That stonewalling costs probably billions and kills off fledgling clean technology innovators. Read the rest of this entry
The recent boom in domestic oil and gas development, spurred by new technologies in geologic interpretation, horizontal drilling, completion techniques, and hydraulic fracturing, has exposed a huge gap between our knowledge of getting oil and gas out of the ground and our knowledge of the long-term damage to the environment these activities could be causing. When Congress exempted hydraulic fracturing activity from The Safe Drinking Water Act in 2005, the exemption, lobbied for strongly by the industry, came before the proliferation of new drilling brought on by new technologies.
