text: Home » News » Facebook Faster Facebook Faster Stuart Davidson February 2, 2010 News Facebook has done a facelift of its code and added JIT Compiler to aid in a faster experience for the most popular social networking site on the planet. We already know Facebook added new processors to its servers soon after the six-core Istanbul processors were released last year. Readwriteweb reports that code is now running up to 80% faster than before and asked a PHP expert, Richard Crowley to explain what a JIT Compiler is and what it does. "Compiling PHP to code a CPU can directly execute certainly has performance implications. It would be silly to alter the workflow to be more like C or C++ by doing all parsing and compilation ahead of time. At the other end of the spectrum, it's slow and out-of-fashion to interpret every statement within the runtime. A JIT (Just In Time) compiler compiles frequently-executed portions of the program to machine code for speed while maintaining the flexibility of interpreted code." Share On

Hey, wow, this is all great stuff, keep up the good work and good luck with Guild Wars 2. Something I noticed though was that earlier, one of you posted a bunch of skill icons in high-resolution, something that we don't actually get in the game. I do some work at the official wiki (http://wiki.guildwars.com), and one of the main projects I'm involved in right now is completing our collection of high-resolution skill icons: the in-game ones are only 56x56 pixels, while most of ours are around 248x248, a big difference. I was wondering, if you have the time, if you might be able to post the complete collection of icons you've done? If some are missing, it's fine, but any help will be duly appreciated. If you don't have time, I understand.
P.S.: If possible, please us the .png, .bmp or similar lossless image compression formats. JPEG images use lossy image compression, which means the quality is significantly reduced.

Because Chicken Cordon Bleu is such a flavorful dish on its own, it pairs well with mild side dishes, such as rice and mixed vegetables, that do not get in the way of the fried chicken dish's flavors. Chicken Cordon Bleu features a thin chicken cutlet topped with ham and Swiss cheese that is rolled up, coated in flour or breadcrumbs, and then fried until golden brown on the outside.Continue Reading
Rice dishes that pair well with Chicken Cordon Bleu include white rice, brown rice, wild rice, rice pilaf and even a mild risotto. As far as vegetables go, as long as the vegetables are cut in about the same-sized pieces, nearly any vegetable can be steamed.

Shinhwa's Eric and miss A's Suzy became a couple for the newest episode of 'Invincible Youth 2'!
On the April 21st episode, Shinhwa emerged on set, surprising the G6 girls. Out of the girls, Suzy especially could not hide her excitement as she had picked Shinhwa on the previous episode as the guest she'd like to have on the show.
After the appearance of the legendary idol group, the members of Shinhwa and G6 paired up as couples through a unique game. The G6 members bit into apples in ways that they felt represented their individuality. The members of Shinhwa then selected the apple that appealed to them, and became partnered up with the members corresponding to the apples.
Out of the various apples, including one with teeth markings, one with nothing left but seeds, and one bitten into the shape of a heart, Eric chose one that turned out to belong to Suzy.
The two made such a cute couple that other members could not help but comment, "You guys look really good together. It's a good thing you guys met."

I was contacted a while back by Memebox (pronounced Mi-mi-Box) to see if I would be interested in reviewing some of their K-beauty boxes. I love Korean beauty products, and I'm always excited to try something new, so I enjoy reviewing Memebox immensely.
Memebox(us.memebox.com), is a Korean beauty box and e-commerce retailer that has created different beauty boxes for K-beauty lovers. Memebox isn't actually a subscription box, so you can decide when and what you want to purchase. Memebox ships directly from Korea, and ships to 45 different countries, but they cater mainly to US clients. They put out new boxes quite often, and I have a huge wish list on their site!
Memebox carries 4 main types of beauty boxes-
Memebox: The original Memebox comes packed with 4-8 full size products and deluxe samples.
Memebox Special Editions: Memebox special edition comes packaged with 4-8 full size products and deluxe samples that meet specific needs or concerns.
Superbox: Superbox was inspired by Memebox lovers who are looking for full-sized products catered to specific needs. Each Superbox series comes with its own special theme, or to meet specific needs.
Luckybox: Luckybox was created to give everyone a different and unique box full of their favorite products for you to feel lucky and special. Each Luckybox is unique and is filled with 4-8 full sized products and deluxe samples.
Memebox sent me their Special #9 Skincare Box to review. Memebox Skincare Box is one of Memebox Special Editions which is curated with special themes, and contain the best K-beatuy items. It is a day and night skincare routine-in-a-box, that is to address all of your everyday skincare needs. These needs include pre-mature wrinkling and fine lines, large pores, rough texture, and dull and dry skin.
The first item in the Skincare box was a large sample size of Nasarang Rose Balancing Toner. Nasarang states that a high concentrate of natural rose oil is extracted from over 3 million Bulgarian Roses. This is a toner, but on the thicker side, more like a serum. It deeply moisturizes and brightens the complexion. This feels amazing, and I would definitely purchase it in the future.
The next item in the box was also a deluxe sample of Verikos Advanced Power Tightening Cream. This cream is enriched with lotus flower water, collagen, bifida ferments, and peptide components. It hydrates and nourishes the skin, while fighting the signs of aging and improving elasticity and restoring your natural glow.
The Skincare box includes a full size of Boscians Cycle Repair Wrinkle Spot. This spot cream is for treating fine lines and wrinkles on the face. It's loaded with galactomyces ferments, peony root extracts, and adenosine. It is gentle enough to use around the eyes (which is where I need help), where it fills in wrinkles.
The next item is Benton's Snail Bee High Content Essence. This full size serum contains snail secretion filtrate, bee venom and EGF to cleans rough, damaged skin from external stresses and pollution. It helps trouble skin, increases moisture supply, evens skin tone, helps brighten the complexion and remove signs of aging.
My skin is extremely sensitive, and while I reluctantly added a snail serum to my skincare routine, cosmetics that contain bee venom (like lip plumpers) tend to irritate my skin. I sent this particular product to a friend, and she loves it so far!
The Skincare box contained a full size bottle of Dewytree Tea Tree Porest Powder in Toner. While this toner contains green clay and tea tree leaf extracts, it not only treats blemishes and clears clogged pores, but it does it without drying your face!
My skin is also very dry, so I wasn't sure if this would dry me out or not. I do feel like my pores have enlarged as I've aged. This definitely doesn't dry me out, and I'm hopeful that it will help shrink my pores.
Also by Dewytree, there was a full size bottle of White Dew 7 Cut Extreme Serum. This is a gentle serum that helps with lightening freckles, dark spots , uneven skin tone, and sagging skin. It works to soothe, tighten and brighten your face for a silkier, healthier-looking complexion.
The last item in the box was a full size jar of Secret Key Super Plumping Jelly Cream. This gel is packed with blueberry, orange, almond, broccoli, pumpkin, and salmon eggs. It is designed to bring back youthful skin, and to treat the signs of aging, and to moisturize your face, while plumping for a healthier look.
I really enjoy the texture of gels, but they often aren't moisturizing enough. I love this moisture gel so far. It definitely has made my skin look healthier!
I was so happy to receive this Memebox to review. Everything was very high quality and fun. If you are interested in trying Memebox, click here. You can also follow Memebox on Twitter @memeboxglobal, or on their Facebook page at http://on.fb.me/1nMifHW.

'IT MAY YET SANCTIFY SAVAGE SOULS' … THE PLANET BRINGS YOU ONE OF THE BEST … plus … WHO AND WHAT WILL SHOW UP IN OUR 'QUICKIES' TODAY?
By DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI News and Commentary
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY, APRIL 30, 2012) — Shut up, slow down, sit up, and enjoy. Poetry is not cod liver oil, though it is more beneficial. It may yet sanctify the savage souls, one at a time, and if but one, then a universe.
THE PLANET's Poetry Monday aims to bring a bit of refinement cloaked in the finest writing from all of history to a world that done got itself in one big, unthinking, unfeeling hurry.
Today, we present one of the greats from one of the greats.
e.e. cummings (born 1894 in Cambridge, Mass., died in 1962), no initial capitals, revolutionized modern verse with his groundbreaking rule-breaking of punctuation, format, and other poetic conventions. He produced one great novel, The Enormous Room, based on his experiences as a prisoner of war during World War I.
cummings' literary experiments produced a license for violating the accepted norms, a largesse that far too many other (and far lesser) poets assumed for themselves. cummings used his freedom with brilliance. Too many others who followed used license as an excuse for incompetence. Good poetry is the greatest and rarest of all writing. Bad poetry is the worst and most abundant. We see the results today.
Of course, the infernal products of The Eternal Hurry — for example, texting — have eaten away at all forms of written discourse. Good writing is on the way out. That sad fact will keep those like THE PLANET healthily in business for another score of years, before it won't matter anymore. By that time and long before it, we shall be on the Cooks, where anything we have to bestow will be bequeathed instantly and wordlessly.
Ladies and gentlemen, Edward Estlin Cummings:
—– 00 —–
By e.e. cummings
i thank you God for most this amazing
day: for leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky:and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing and — lifted from the no
of all nothing — human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears if my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
* LENOX BOARD FLAMES OUT ON CAR SHOW — The selectmen in Lenox have set an ominously bad precedent in awarding taxpayer dollars as upfront money to a promoter who will brings a British Car Show to town. When governments defy the standing economic model (in this case, capitalism) with political justifications, the public invariably loses. What, the promoter didn't save $2,000 in advance costs for an event he knows he will be staging? Even worse is when local government subsidizes this bad planning with taxpayer dollars. Actions like this have turned Lenox into the chintzy joke that it has become among locals in Berkshire County.
* 'CONTINGECY' FUND NOT A GOOD SIGN — They did a half-assed job in the first place, and now, again, We The People will have to dig deep for repairs to the McKay Street garage in Pittsfield. My right honorable good friends on the city council OKd a $1.5 million package. This sum will be added to the $2 million already earmarked in city funds. The state kicks in another $3.5 million. How's this for funny business, though? OCD Czarina Deanna Ruffer asked for and received $600 grand — S600,000 large — for a "contingency fund." The "contingency fund" didn't appear in the initial request for the dough. Gee, THE PLANET wonders, what sort of contingency would come up on an already over-budget construction job in the city of Pittsfield.
* 'FIRST RESPONDER' — Elections? RIght: You're sick of them. You're also sick of the usual herd of pols making the usual promises of reform, change, wonders, and cucumbers. That being the case doesn't change the inexorable fact that elections are on the way. One note — In the race for Berkshire County registrar of deeds (an office now held by congressional candidate Andrea Nuciforo), former Pittsfield city clerk Jody Phillips became the first candidate to qualify for the ballot. Could be Phillips is used to this "first responder" stuff. Her main squeeze is acting fire chief Robert Czerwinski.
* FLUSHED WITH SUCCESS — The rumor is not true. When the city flushed its hydrants last week, rumors abounded that former treasurer David Kiley, former purchasing director Bob Tone, and insurance creative director Ed Caveny were washed out from an underground lair. THE PLANET has confirmed that there is no truth to the story. The three strange objects bore not the slightest resemblance to municipal rippoff.
* RENAISSANCE, ANYONE? — Don't think things are bad in downtown Pittsfield. The KB Toys building and land, recently purchased by Lauren Publishing, is assessed at $5.4 million. Lauren got it for a steal, paying $1.1 million.
* WE LIKE — The Pittsfield City council's approval of $500,000 in GE economic development funds to set up a pool of money for small businesses … Barry Clairmont's recusal from voting on the use of the half million … John Krol's questions to Mayor Bianchi over transparency on the matter … Dotties Coffee Shop … Joe Castoldi's skills at barbering, the best in town … the greens of spring … resistance to demolishing the former Plunkett School … the appointment of Donna Todd Rivers to the tourism board … Berkshire Health Systems' sponsorship of a community-owned garden on Robbins Avenue … that school committee members Alf Barbalunga and Terry Kinnas opposed accepting a late application for the superintendent's job … the lineups at Barrington Stage and the Berkshire Theater Festival … and … that there will be baseball at Wahconah Park this summer, as Pittsfield welcomes the Pittsfield Suns, a team in the collegiate summer league.

Top Tasks for Learning Departments in 2014
The 2013 Learning Insights report identified a number of key trends and challenges for Learning & Development departments. In the Slideshare below we set out what departments can do to respond positively to these challenges and highlight ten top tasks.
The slides review the key challenges which are emerging as a consequence of a changing world including multi-devices, mobile workforces, social learning and ongoing financial pressures. We have outlined our thoughts on the ways in which L&D departments can respond to these changes in the slides and set out ten key tasks as follows:
- Establish a culture of pervasive learning
- Increase empathy in your learning experiences
- Let Google lead – but don't fall too far behind
- Improve systems – reduce the cost of technology and development
- Make it personal – engage and tailor learning
- Make assessment an experience not an event – think beyond the test
- Follow the money – prove value with variety of measures
- Line managers – support your empathy agents
- Be a consultant – lead and do things differently
- Become an authority – "Design and delivery is a commodity, expertise is a differentiator"

Please note, Bitwig v2 is a serial download and not a boxed version. Once your order has been placed, you will be emailed shortly after will a download key to access your software. You can register your software using the link below.
The enormous controlling power of Panorama P1 is contained in a compact case about the size of a 17" laptop. An unrivalled amount of assignable controls makes Panorama the most comprehensive and fully featured MIDI controller around. 16 encoders, 9 45mm faders, 10 LED buttons, 28 buttons and a foot switch jack gives you immediate control of up to 61 parameters at any one time. Settings can be stored in 20 presets with individually save and loadable F-keys maps for more than 1200 combinations. The numbers may not matter but being in control does.
A crystal clear 3.5" color TFT display delivers the information you really need, for each mode or menu. Regardless of whether you are operating Cubase, Reason or programming MIDI assignments in Internal mode, the display provides detailed information that makes your workflow fluent and fast. Panorama takes the hard work out of using a controller and makes operations that seem complicated and non-transparent on other products, straight-forward and simple.
Setting up presets or F-keys maps is easy on Panorama. The Control Edit menu enables you to quickly select a control and in real-time assign the MIDI command you want. For each control values can be scaled, reverse and assigned specific or global MIDI channels. The chart shows the programming options available for each type of control.
It's hard to go places without transport so Panorama features an extended 11 button transport bar, positions right where you need it controlling: Return to L, Forward to R, Undo, Click on/off, Record Mode, Cycle on/off, Back, Forward, Stop, Play and Record. Using the shift button, these also double up as 11 function buttons each assignable to MIDI commands or QWERTY macro's.
So QWERTY macro's...... big deal, right? That's right, its a VERY big deal. Your software has a ton of features and functions that can be activated using QWERTY shortcut commands. Assigning a command to a button so you don't have to be near your computer makes life a lot easier. Assigning a string of up to 8 commands takes it to another level. With this powerful feature you could for example enter edit mode, zoom in and select a tool with just one button press. Or create an instrument or effects track and locate a folder containing your presets so you can select them from Panorama, all with one button press and without looking at your computer.
For Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Logic Pro, MainStage, Nuendo, Reaper and Reason users, Panorama is a dream come true. The dedicated communication protocol ties Panorama and your DAW tightly together so all you have to do is select the mode and menu you want to control. Panorama does the rest.
Three modes allows you one button press to switch between controlling the Mixer, Instruments (VSTi or Devices) and Transport, with the 4th mode, Internal, still providing access to traditional MIDI control.
The integration is so deep that you can immerse yourself in your music without having to constantly reach for the mouse. Panorama gives you the creative freedom to just focus on your music.
Bitwig - The Next Generation of DAWs
Today, DAWs pretty much all do the same thing, and they all give producers the correct and powerful tools music. However, what sets each one apart is workflow - how easy it is to transfer those ideas into a reality. Enter Bitwig.
"Bitwig Studio is a dynamic software for creation and performance of your musical ideas on stage or in the studio."
Bitwig Studio inspires you to take greater control of your music, giving you unlimited access to every aspect of your production. Streamline your creative process and quickly evolve your ideas into complete songs, tracks and compositions. Record and arrange, improvise and perform, or do it all at once. Welcome to the next generation of music creation and performance software for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Bitwig Studio comes loaded with industry-standard to industry-leading features, designed to meet the demands of musicians, producers and sound designers in the present day and beyond.
Bitwig Studio was the first music production software to combine linear and non-linear sequencing on Windows, macOS and Linux. It achieved this with technological advancements such as plug-in crash protection - no more lost presets that took hours to craft, and a highly flexible and graphiclay pleasing user interface. Alongside this was a lightning fast workflow experience, the core of Bitwig, and this applied for keyboard, mouse and touch screens. Now with Bitwig 2, these features are better than ever.
Non-Stop Modulation
Each device in Bitwig Studio 2, including external plugins have UNLIMITED modulation slots where you can load individual modulators from the extensive range on offer. Bitwig Studio 2 comes with 24 brand new modulators; from standard modulators like envelopes and LFOs - to more crazy modulator types like Random, Select-4 and Math, to give unique movement and character to your sound. Modulators can be assigned to any number of parameters with ease and flexibility, and can even be interconnected for truly dynamic and expressive sound design possibilities. Your imagination really is the limit.
True Performance
Bitwigs Clip view can be used for live performance, and it's never been easier. Draft out your arrangement beforehand, or do it on the fly - tempo synced playback makes it effortless to add new elements in time with the beat, perfect for that fast paced rhythm to get people moving, or for that extra hit of bass on the drop!
New to Bitwig 2 is the new standard in plugin formats - VST3. This will allow for per-note expression and sample accurate automation, a huge bonus for when detail is the key focus.
Displays for Days
There have been a lot of enhancements to existing devices, improving both sound quality and usability. A key feature of many devices now include a spectrum analyser and dynamic display panels. This is one of many features that sets Bitwig apart from other products - aspiring for something similar in another DAW would most likely require a separate plugin. Also improved is the visualisation of parameters, movement and signal flow, so it is easier than ever to see what exactly is happening when you twist that dial!
Now every device now has a Remote Controls panel, where you can assign remote control access to any parameter in the device (or nested in the device chain). This is similar to Macro controls, as it is more commonly known. Multiple controls, from multiple effects/instruments such as filter cutoff or LFO can be assigned to 1 single dial, for less automation drawing and ease of use. Mappings can now be saved with presets or devices, allowing on-the-fly access to your favorite parameters directly from your hardware controller, when browsing through your library or swapping between devices and tracks.
Content Right at Hand
An extensively reworked menu system is another new key element. Bitwig Studio 2 now features a context-aware menu system to keep you focused on the task at hand. Depending on your selection, different menus and options will be shown. For instance, when selecting a track, a menu will be shown with all available related actions. To speed up your workflow even further, you can pin actions so they are always visible in the menu bar.
Multiple Projects
One feature that sets Bitwig apart from everything else is the ability to open multiple projects at a single time. Tracks or any element from one session can easily be dragged and dropped into another - remixes have never been easier.

A total of four private planes entered restricted airspace during President Barack Obama's visit to the Los Angeles area.
North American Aerospace Defense Command Lt. Cmdr. Bill Lewis says three of the planes that entered the restricted airspace Wednesday and Thursday were buzzed by F-16s and forced to leave the area and one pilot responded to radio commands to turn back.
Thursday morning, two small single-engine airplanes were escorted from restricted airspace by F-16s at 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. PDT.
On Wednesday, an F-16 fighter jet intercepted a Cessna 117 northwest of Los Angeles. That plane was forced to land at Camarillo.
A fourth plane responded to radio calls to turn around at 6:04 a.m. Thursday.
There have been similar incidents when Obama visited Los Angeles in the past.

Quick Reference
Crisps—in full potato crisps—very thin slices of potato fried until they are crisp and curly, then usually given some distinctive flavouring and packaged up to be eaten cold, appeared on the scene in the 1920s (the first known printed record of them comes from 1929). American English-speakers call them potato chips.

About Bivouac Camping Trailers
Bivouac /biv·ou·ac/ – a temporary camp site, such as those used in scouting and mountain climbing, used especially by soldiers or mountaineers.
Rick and Ron, the owners and co-founders of Bivouac Camping Trailers, designed their trailers with their own families in mind. From the initial idea of creating the "Swiss Army Knife" of camping trailers, sprang the Safari and then the Fort. After months of planning and brainstorming the first M.O.A.B. proto-type was built in a friend's garage in Black Canyon City, Arizona. From that point on, it has been an exciting journey getting our M.O.A.B. line of trailers introduced to campers and adventure seekers around the world.
Rick attended California State Polytechnic University, Pomona and graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree. Ron attended Arizona State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science and Engineering. Between the creative design style and the precise engineering mind these two have a combined 40+ years experience in design, engineering, and manufacturing.
Bivouac Camping Trailers has been operating in Phoenix, Arizona since June, 2008. Our company was founded on the basis of providing high quality, unique, expedition trailers/toy haulers for the outdoor enthusiast. We are a small company consisting of family and friends who have come together to fulfill a dream. Our unique design was created in an effort to fill a niche that has been previously ignored. We are looking to create an environmentally, go anywhere, friendly option for people who are in love with the great outdoors.
Along the way, we have aligned ourselves with companies that have allowed us to manufacture the best off road camping trailers possible. Among them is our main partner, Tepui Tents from Santa Cruz, California (www.tepuitents.com). When our two companies first crossed paths we were both in our infancy but found an instant kinship in the company philosophies, "Provide the highest quality product for the lowest possible price and back up every sale with the best customer service in the business".
What started in a friend's garage has built into a strong company in a new facility producing a wide variety of expedition trailers for a broad market. From the compact lightweight M.O.A.B. Crawler to the "teardrop style" large capacity M.O.A.B. Gobi, Bivouac Camping Trailers will remain dedicated to you, our customers, our family.
Thank you for your interest in our trailers and thank you for helping us keep our dream alive. Friends, we would like to leave you with our most important question…

Creating a kitchen remodeling checklist includes taking a detailed look around the kitchen space. All the repairs or upgrades that are needed or desired in the kitchen should be considered, along with the amount of money available for the project.Continue Reading
Think about how much you have to spend before you write down all the remodeling projects you would like to take on in the kitchen. This will keep you from starting a kitchen remodeling project that could land you in too much debt.
Jot down the layout of your kitchen before starting your remodeling project. You need to know the dimensions of your kitchen and where the pipes and electrical outlets are located. If possible, the plumbing and electrical circuits should be kept intact to save money on your remodeling venture.
Write down the actual remodeling projects you want for your kitchen. As you gather the materials and estimates for each project, cross the project off your preliminary list. You can also check off each project once you've found a contractor to complete the job.
Make a new list using the information you've gathered. As projects are completed, check them off your list. This helps you track your budget and makes it easier for you to notice marked improvements in your kitchen.

Babywearing International of Cleveland Inclusivity Statement
Babywearing International of Cleveland (BWI of CLE) strives to be an open community that is a welcoming for everyone. We believe that in order to be a healthy hub of babywearing knowledge, we must acknowledge that there are many issues that affect babywearers of certain backgrounds, lifestyles, religions, and cultures. As a unified community, we do not shy away from or deflect these topics. We acknowledge the disparities that exist in our babywearing community, and BWI of CLE chooses to uphold and amplify the voice of oppressed and marginalized babywearers. In order for there to be an understanding of our expected community standards, we have compiled a list of our official chapter position on certain nonnegotiable social justice issues. The below mentioned community standards are fully upheld by our chapter's Board of Directors, educators, and volunteers. If you wish to learn more about any of the individual topics listed below, please feel free to explore our pinned post for links and articles to educate yourself further.
Topics of Inclusivity
AGE/CAREGIVER STATUS: We do not discriminate based on age or caregiver status. Anyone who cares for a child is welcome at BWI of CLE meetings and events. We strongly encourage our members and attendees to refrain from assuming a person's role in a child's life based on the age/appearance of the person that is with the child. We receive many caregivers at our meetings, so it is best not to assume if a person is mom, dad, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, babysitter, foster caregiver, or adoptive parent. Please be courteous and do not ask questions to others based on assumptions.
FEEDING METHODS: BWI of CLE will not partake in any aspect of the "Mommy Wars". Comments and judgments based on someone's chosen feeding method will not be tolerated. Formula feeders, breastfeeders, EPers (exclusive pumpers), and caregivers who receive donor milk are all welcome. BWI of CLE prides itself on teaching all forms of feeding while babywearing. As such, all BWI of CLE meetings are breastfeeding friendly. For children who are exclusively breastfed, the breast is their sole source of nutrition and comfort. Caregivers are encouraged to nurse their babies and toddlers as they feel comfortable (covered or uncovered). BWI of CLE fully supports their right to do so.
ABLEISM: People with disabilities (physical and mental) rely on the services of BWI of CLE. Ableist language and behavior is not tolerated at BWI of CLE meetings and events. While some people may feel that censoring certain words is restrictive, we recognize that words have power and language is one of the tools of oppression. We ask that you please choose your words carefully. Ableist words that are flippantly used in everyday conversation can cause serious emotional harm to others and we seek to avoid excluding anyone based on their abilities. By putting thought behind our words we can avoid unintentionally targeting our fellow babywearers and their children with disabilities. Many people have become desensitized to much of the problematic ableist language used in everyday conversation, so please be open to education and familiarize yourself with this very important issue so we do not offend out of ignorance. To learn more about ableist language, we encourage you to visit: http://www.autistichoya.com/p/ableist-words-and-terms-to-avoid.html
Ableism is more than just the words we choose to use. Ableism includes assumptions as well. Disabilities cannot always be seen. Do not assume anyone's ability to use a certain type of carrier. Dexterity issues, fine motor control issues, motor control issues, muscle tone issues, and flexibility issues cannot always be seen from the outside. We support everyone and can meet you at the point of your babywearing need. Additionally, some of our members with visual disabilities use screen readers to access the internet. You may notice some of our educators adding [Image:] to their posts describing the image included for screen reader users and we encourage members to do the same to allow all to participate.
SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS: Babywearing is as old as time itself. Caregivers from all levels of class and society have worn their children throughout history and we continue to do so today. At BWI of CLE, wearing our children is what brings us all together despite our social and economic differences. As Westerners, sometimes we tend to fall victim to consumerism and brand marketing by companies that promote their product as "the best". At BWI of CLE we strive to overcome socioeconomic barriers and do not see the value of a carrier based on how much was paid for it. We do not tolerate bashing carriers, prices, or resell value. We encourage caregivers to bring their DIY carriers, their hand-me-down carriers, their thrift store find carriers, their "someone gave me this at a baby shower" carrier, their BST (buy, sell, trade) carriers, and their $30, $300, or $1000 carrier. We welcome you all without judgment and love to hear the stories about your fluff (babywearing slang for a carrier)! If you don't have any carriers at all, YOU ARE STILL WELCOME AT OUR MEETINGS! BWI of CLE has a library of our own carriers and anyone is welcome to practice with our carriers during the meeting.
GENDER IDENTITY AND GENDER EXPRESSION: At BWI of CLE, we welcome caregivers who of all gender identities and expressions. We affirm any outward manifestation that best reflects one's gender identity, including preferred pronoun usage. We do not tolerate bashing, hate speech, rudeness, or intolerance of any kind. BWI of CLE is a welcome place for babywearers of all genders.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: BWI of CLE affirms and recognizes our LGBTQIA babywearing community. We do not discriminate based on sexual orientation and do not tolerate discrimination or hate speech at any of our meetings, events, or online forums.
FAMILY ORIENTATION: Families are made just like jigsaw puzzles and BWI of CLE delights in all of the many pieces that can make up a family. We welcome single parents, married couples, gay couples, lesbian couples, polyamorous families, adoptive families, surrogate families, common law marriage families, extended families, and all families in between. There is no judgment here and we welcome all into our space.
TONE POLICING: Many of the day-to-day interactions of BWI of CLE happen online. We have accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, as well as our website and blog. There are lots of comments and discussions that occur on our sites. Sometimes when dealing with topics of social justice in the babywearing community, emotions can run high and discussions may become heated. BWI of CLE does not condone nor enforce tone policing. As stated above, language is one of the many tools of oppression and we will not silence our marginalized babywearers. Tone policing is a silencing tactic and derails the conversation from legitimate progress. It is not tolerated. To learn more about tone policing, please visit: http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/12/tone-policing-and-privilege/
RELIGION/PHILOSOPHY: BWI of CLE prides itself on being a community of diverse babywearers. Our educators, volunteers, and members are made up of many different religions and philosophies on life. We respect each other's differences and do not tolerate hate speech. While we recognize that different religions may have different days that represent their Sabbath or holy day, we try to have meetings and events available for everyone at varying times throughout each month. Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and any other type of prejudice or religious bigotry is not allowed at our meetings, events, or online community.
RACE/ETHNICITY/NATIONALITY: As aforementioned, BWI of CLE prides itself on being a community of diverse babywearers. We thrive on our differences. Our experiences gained through our unique cultures makes us who we are and adds to our babywearing knowledge. We do not tolerate discrimination or hate speech based on race, ethnicity, or nationality.
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION: When a dominant culture "borrows", "adopts", "imitates", or is "inspired" by a disenfranchised minority people group that is not their own, it is cultural appropriation. How does this apply to the babywearing community? Unfortunately, we see it all too often with different carriers and brands. When cultural appropriation is brought to the attention of the babywearing community, the marginalized people groups are oftentimes silenced and dismissed. At BWI of CLE we seek to be a voice for marginalized communities when their ideas, carriers, prints, or patterns are "discovered" (a.k.a. stolen) by Western culture. We also encourage our members to buy from legitimate native sources when purchasing a carrier that is from outside their own culture. We believe in putting people before wraps and carriers and will not tolerate problematic carriers in our lending libraries. If you have any questions on whether or not the history of your personal carrier is problematic, please educate yourself on the history behind its making and design. Also, as a sign of respect and acknowledgement to carriers' origins, we encourage the use of a carrier's proper name and not its Western nickname (e.g., podaegi instead of simply "pod", onbuhimo instead of simply "onbu" or other variations creating portmanteaus). A carrier's name is part of its culture. When we strip down the name, we lose some of the culture and history behind it. This is an excellent primer on why cultural appropriation matters: http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/06/cultural-appropriation-wrong/
Yet another resource on cultural babywearing: https://wrapyourbaby.com/cultural-babywearing/
A tumblr on decolonizing babywearing with a collection of information: http://decolonizingbabywearing.tumblr.com/
PRIVILEGE: Nowadays whenever someone hears the word "privilege" they automatically get defensive, shut down, and tune out any further conversation concerning this topic. One thing that we don't tolerate is the assertion that privilege doesn't exist. That simply isn't true. As Westerners and as Americans we all have some type of privilege. Whether it is white privilege (or white-presenting privilege), Christian privilege, heterosexual privilege, etc, etc, (the list goes on) everyone benefits from at least some type of privilege. Some of us benefit from privilege more than others. It is nothing to be ashamed of or to become defensive about. It is simply a fact of life. However, we do encourage our members to learn how to use your privilege to stand up for the rights of others.
We encourage everyone to unpack your privilege. Some excellent spaces exist for this purpose: Inclusivity Basics: Babywearing and Beyond (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1199615880116540/)
RACISM: BWI of CLE understands that racism is alive and well and thriving in our society. We do not subscribe to theories that we live in a post-racial society. We do not condone the promotion of one race over another. Our meetings and events are welcoming for people of color (PoC) who babywear or care for a child. We recognize and acknowledge that the experiences of a babywearer of color can be vastly different from those of a non-PoC. We do not tolerate hate speech, slurs, bigotry, or prejudice of any kind.
For a more in-depth discussion on what racism is and the principles behind it, consider this link for further reading:
Some further reading on colorblindess can be found here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/culturally-speaking/201112/colorblind-ideology-is-form-racism
Babywearing International of Cleveland will strictly enforce all aspects of our statement of inclusivity and will uphold our community standards.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
It seemed to have happened all of a sudden, as though I woke up one morning and overnight my vision had taken a turn for the worse. I stood on the subway platform, staring across the tracks at the familiar mosaic sign denoting my local stop, each green and white tile blurring into one another, a fuzzy approximation of what had once been so reliably crisp. I kept rubbing my eyes, blinking hard, all in the hopes of denying what was actually happening, which was that my very expensive, incredibly cherished LASIK was failing.
Five years ago, I brazenly decided that one decade of near-blindness was quite enough. The eyesight nature "blessed" me with began to slip back in middle school. Much the same thing had begun to happen -- that seemingly overnight sensation I thought I'd never have to deal with again. I'd be sitting in class, staring at the whiteboard, every letter fading into some unintelligible and useless hieroglyphic. I kept having to get a seat assigned closer and closer to the board until finally I figured out what was going on. The death knell had sounded: I was doomed to a lifetime of old man glasses and dried-out contact lenses.
But in my mid-twenties, I decided, with great mountains of hubris, that I could change the hand of fate. Yes, I would shoot a couple expertly calibrated lasers into my eyeballs and give myself the vision of any fighter pilot, all for the basement bargain price of $6,000.
Everyone I asked who had had the surgery pointed me in the direction of one particular doctor, reportedly the best in the business -- something confirmed by the rows upon rows of framed press in his office featuring celebrities he had worked on over the years. And so we had our consultation, I signed all my waivers, paid the fees, and showed up again two weeks later, handed an unfortunately weak dose of Valium, and strapped into a chair.
The surgery itself is easy -- so easy, in fact, it feels weird to call it a surgery at all. The doctor works with one eye at a time, keeping one pried open like a scene from Clockwork Orange and the other closed tight. You stare straight forward at an orange pinpoint of light, listening to the snapping sounds of the laser basically slicing a flap across your cornea.
The weirdest part -- something they warn you about in advance -- is when they move that flap and you are rendered temporarily blind, at which point you wonder what the hell made you so sure this was a good idea and why you didn't ask for two Valiums like your friend told you to beforehand. But right when your heart is about to give out, they push the flap into place, your vision fogged like a mirror, close your eye, and start on the other one. The whole thing takes 15 sort-of-easy, borderline terrifying minutes.
All self-doubt be damned, I can tell you one of the absolute happiest moments of my life was -- after a mandated, drug-induced post-surgery nap -- removing the pair of protective goggles I was given to wear, and looking out my window, every leaf on every tree perfectly distinguishable from its neighbor, when it had once just been an abstract blur of green mass. For the next two weeks, I giggled like an idiot every time I passed a street sign, utterly delighted in this miracle surgery that felt like having been given a new lease on life, a sort of reclaiming of that which you were so naturally owed.
And so that's why it was so devastating when I began to realize that the honeymoon phase was over, and I was on a slippery slope back to square one. It felt like being voted high school homecoming queen, and you're standing there with your sash and your crown, beaming like an idiot until someone comes up and strips you of that stupid prize, saying, "Oh, sorry, there's been a bit of a mistake." In those brief moments you had gotten so used to being queen. Now what? Back to life as normal?
The failure is, of course, entirely of my own making. The doctor's talent extends no further than the operating room; how you maintain your newfound vision is your responsibility. Three years staring at the glare of my computer screen and stressing out about dudes and bills has done me absolutely no favors in the 20/20 department… something I wish had been more enthusiastically expressed from the beginning, but also something I should have done due diligence on myself. Medical professionals aren't wizards, and your body isn't a machine.
My months of living in denial were confirmed when I revisited the doctor who originally performed the LASIK. I was apparently part of a small percentage of people that need what they call "a touch up." But "touching up" your eyeballs isn't like throwing some concealer over a zit; it's popping that pill again and locking yourself into the chair, only this time around the procedure is something called PRK and, though people swear up and down about its safety and success rates, the complications seem greater and the healing time definitively longer. That, and it'd cost me another $6,000.
I decided to let nature -- and my bank account -- run its true course. I went home and, defeated, ordered a pair of Warby Parker glasses. My "new lease on life" turned out to be more of a rental situation than I had bargained for.
Have you ever experienced complications with your LASIK procedure? Would love to hear what you did.

Orenbouch relives the moment when she had 20 seconds to stop her car and decide which of her two young children to take out of the car and into the shelter with her. And deciding whether to save her baby or her three year old is an example of the gut-wrenching choices many Israelis are forced to make every day.
In a valiant effort to bring both the temerity and heroism of everyday Israeli citizens into the spotlight, Dr. Batya Casper has written a gripping novel called Israela. Casper wrote the book to bring awareness to the agonizing daily struggles that keep Israeli families on a never-ending emotional roller coaster.
Israela sheds light on the centuries old conflict through the lives of three women in Israel whose daily struggles and moral dilemmas give rare insight into Israeli history and culture. It is an absolute must-read for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Although Israela gives readers an excellent opportunity to learn more about Israeli history and to experience the beauty and tradition of Israeli culture, it is also about humanity—sisterhood, loyalty, longing for acceptance, and survival.
Casper's unique perspective has helped her paint a truly authentic picture of the tense daily lives of the Israeli people.

Can I please get the return address so we can get this exchange done, and I would like to also know why the picture that your company presents on their website in not the same as the Rolex Replicas I received. The green hologram, that was important to me. Will you please answer that question for me. Lets please get the ball rolling on our exchange, I would like to have a working watch by my reunion on next month. Please help me make this happen, I would greatly appreciate it.
I am now just wanting a complete refund due to the bottom button being broke upon arrival, and you misrepresented your watch online. It clearly shows a green hologram on your website and the Replica Rolex UK I received did not have that feature. This is false misrepresentation and I would like a full refund. Without the green hologram on the back of the watch this makes it not the same watch I ordered, I am disappointed and would just like my money returned to me. Not only did I receive a watch that was not what was shown, I also got one that is broken. Please give me the address to make this return, I don't want another one, it's not what you advertise and I am sending you a printed picture from your website that clearly shows the green hologram and you even showed the back of the Rolex Replica UK and the green hologram is on the watch. I just want my money returned please, and with you being such a respectful company I don't see you having a problem with this.

Pro-Form Crosswalk 525X Treadmill Instructions
A treadmill is one of the most common pieces of exercise equipment. It provides a cardiovascular workout that improves your heart and respiratory systems, burns calories and reduces high blood pressure. The Pro-Form Crosswalk 525 Advanced treadmill is a machine designed for at-home use. Instead of providing only a lower-body exercise, the Pro-Form 525 has arm bars with resistance that you move as you walk. The bars provide additional strengthening and calorie-burning benefits.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Position the treadmill on a flat indoor surface that is away from moisture, heat and aerosol or oxygen products. Plug the treadmill into a surge protector. Plug the surge protector into the wall in an outlet that has a designated circuit for the treadmill.
Step 2
Stand on the foot rails of the platform so the belt is between both feet. Hold onto the handrails as you get into position. Locate the clip hanging from a rope attached to a plastic key. Place the clip onto your waistband. Insert the key into the treadmill console to turn on the machine.
Step 3
Press the start or up arrow button to start the belt, as the manual mode begins automatically. Begin walking when the treadmill speed is at 1.0 miles per hour. Adjust the speed and incline of your workout to your desired levels.
Step 4
Push the program button to choose one of the four personal trainer programs instead of the manual mode, if you like. View the numbers beside each profile to determine which program has the top speed, incline and duration you require.
Step 5
During your workout, place your hands on the handrail on the console, swing your arms or hold onto the upper-body arms. Set the resistance of each arm by turning the knob on top of each handle. Move the resistance arms back and forth as you walk to challenge your upper-body muscles.
Step 6
Walk toward the front of the treadmill and in the center of the belt during your workout.
Step 7
At the end of your session, adjust the incline to the lowest setting. Slow the speed to the lowest pace. Remove the key from the machine and detach the clip from your pants. Unplug the treadmill from the surge protector.

Change settings on all shares
We are enabling BranchCache on a few servers… and with that you probably want to change the settings on the shares you have.
Why not use some Powershell when you have the chance. 🙂
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Share | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.Name -notlike '?$' -and $_.Name -ne "ADMIN$" -and $_.Path -ne ""} | ForEach-Object { Write-Host "Updating $($_.Name) - $($_.Path)" $netShare = NET SHARE $_.Name /Cache:BranchCache If ($netShare -notlike "*completed successfully*") { Write-Host $netShare -ForegroundColor Red } }
Change /Cache:BranchCache to wahtever you want to do with the share.
Oh, btw… this works fine to do remote with something like this:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName SOMEREMOTESERVER -scriptblock { Get-WmiObject -Class ... and the same code here ... }

What's Your Selfie Technique?
Oh, don't pretend like you don't have one!
Is an ingrown hair the worst thing that can happen to you? No. Is it the second-worst? Yes, probably.
You get an ingrown hair when your hair curls in or grows sideways instead of breaking through the skin and growing out. Since I exclusively epilate, with the occasional wax, the hair on my body has become very weak and fine. This is obviously a pro in my plan for total hair elimination, but it poses a problem: ingrowns. My hair is too weak to break through the skin, so I have to deal with this on daily, since we've established that it's the second-worst thing that can happen to a human person, I've had to learn how to prevent and treat them because, according to the internet.com, picking and scratching at them until they apologise isn't a good enough solution.
Here's how I handle the ingrown hair I get on a regular basis.
This is the most important thing to remember when you want to prevent and get rid of an ingrown hair. I exfoliate before I epilate/wax/shave/whatever by dry brushing the area.
A couple of times a week, or if I have more ingrowns than usual, I'll use a salt scrub like the Mineraline Dead Sea Body Scrub to really get in there.
If you're going to shave or use an in-shower epilator, use warm water on the area to soften the hair, make them stand up, and make your skin more pliable. Also, be sure to use shaving gel, cream or oil if you're going to shave. And remember — shaving should be done at the end of your shower, after you've already washed up.
Shaving against the grain... or with it
Everyone will always tell you differently: epilate in the direction of hair growth, never epilate in the direction of hair growth, shave against the grain, shave holding a banana while standing on your head, etc.
According to Mayo Clinic (ingrown hairs are a very serious medical condition, clearly), it's up to you to find out which direction to shave in. Men have long been told to shave in the direction of hair growth, but a study showed the opposite to work better for preventing rashes.
I find that the same goes for epilating — there are no hard and fast rules for this one. It can even differ for different areas of your body.
Keeping things sharp and clean
It's common knowledge that keeping a sharp, clean razor helps ward off ingrowns, because it ensures that the hair is being properly cut off. The same, however, applies for epilation, too. When my Epilady got older, I found the little tweezers inside dulled and it would snap my hair instead of pulling them out, causing an abundance of ingrowns and subsequent tears.
Moisture, moisture, moisture
When you're done removing your hair, moisturising is key. Never skip lotion.
If you still have ingrown hairs after all this, I personally give you permission to go at them with a tweezer. Not your fingernails or other sharp object, but an actual pair of tweezers, specifically the pointed type, like these:

Day 04: If you are a parent, or have advice for parents…what do you do (or thing would work) to foster the love of reading in your kids?
This is my sister. Everyone say, HI! (Oh, and feel free to Oo and Ah over my adorable nephew.)
Now I haven't read the "Little House" books in ages. Kim got to the part where the family is forced to ford a creek and their dog drowns. My sister read those words, stopped and as our eyes met, we both shouted, THEIR DOG DROWNED?! Neither of us remembered that. Anna just kept wandering around the room playing on her own while my sister and I marveled at the simplicity of the statement and the lack of mourning by the family at the loss of their pet. I think Kim and I were more upset than the family was. It was a wonderful, shared moment.
I guess the long and short of my advice is this. Lead by example. Read in front of your kids. Create a ritual around it. Collect your favorite books and read them aloud to your kids. Don't worry about their age. Just read, whether they are listening, or not. You might be surprised what you learn as you try to share one your passions with them.
What parenting advice do you have about reading?
