Grace Under Pressure
When Cody is sick it is sometimes difficult to tell. If he isn't coughing, sniffling, throwing up, running a fever or passing out we may not know if he is ill. He just doesn't show it. He can maintain normal behavior and function through an illness and never give us a clue that anything is wrong. But if someone else in the household is ill then everything goes haywire. Cody begins pacing like a caged animal, rambling like a mad man and spewing every negative thought that races through his tortured mind. His fear of the worst is unmistakably clear.
So imagine what it's like for Cody when everyone in the house is sick except for him. That's what happened last week and it was my turn to fear the worst. I was sure we would see the meltdown of all meltdowns.
It all started a Saturday night when Bill began to have body aches and chills. He then spent most of Sunday in bed, which is completely uncharacteristic of him. By Monday he was in the emergency room with a high fever and it was all downhill from there.
On Tuesday, Bill's mother had to be taken to the emergency room for chest pain that radiated down her arm. Then on Wednesday, I was in the doctor's office suffering from acute bronchitis. Thursday brought a follow-up for Bill with his doctor and on Friday I was called back in for diagnostic testing after suspicious findings were seen on films from a recent mammogram.
We got a break on Saturday and Sunday, but on Monday of our second week of illness, Bill's mother had to be taken back to the ER for low oxygen levels and elevated blood pressure. I spent over a week sweating bullets and begging God to keep Cody from a total meltdown. But to my pleasant surprise, Cody was a complete angel throughout the entire duration of this horrendous ordeal.
I was amazed one night when, somewhere in the middle of our nightmare, I was attempting to take care of all of the chores while Bill and his mother were out of commission. I was cleaning up after dinner when Cody took the initiative to clear the table for me. No prompts were needed. And then he took it upon himself to put the placemats away. I just stood there speechless!
After that he helped me by taking glasses of water to Bill so he could take his medication and taking Bill's mother her cane when she would put it down and forget about it. I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing when he scolded her for not using it like she should. I didn't reprimand him for it because, quite honestly, she had it coming. He also took care of his hygiene, cleaned his room and brought his laundry downstairs without me asking.
Bill is now back to good health and I am well on my way. The diagnostic films I had done showed no malignancy or any other signs of danger and Bill's mother will probably come home soon. So slowly but surely things are returning to normal. And Cody has been a trooper through it all. I could not be more proud of him—or more grateful!
This trial has served to enlighten me as to how resilient my son can be. I now see how much he has learned about what it means to endure and overcome. He has demonstrated how strong and brave he truly is. And if he's not wandering around waiting for the sky to fall, then perhaps I shouldn't be doing that either.

|Release # 86-053
Washington, DC -- In cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Echo Incorporated of Lake Zurich, Illinois today announced the voluntary recall of all model 500VL gasoline powered chain saws manufactured from 1979 to 1980.
Some 8,500 Echo model 500VL chain saws with flywheel problems are being recalled voluntarily by the company and replaced with a new solid- state magneto chain saw at no cost to the consumer.
The firm said a special tool is required to remove the flywheel during routine chain saw maintenance, but some flywheels have been removed by consumers without aid of the tool. If the flywheel becomes distorted as a result of such removal, the flywheel may be subject to stress and vibration. Pieces of the flywheel may fly apart and strike the operator as was the case in the three accidents reported to Echo, which resulted in lacerations, fractures and amputation to the fingers of the operator's left hand.
Consumers should discontinue using the Echo 500 VL chain saw immediately. Owners of Model 500VL chain saws with serial numbers inclusive to 0023000 should contact their Echo Dealer to arrange for replacement of the saw at no charge. The new Echo saw, model 510 EVL, comes equipped with a solid-state electronic magneto which is not removed during routine maintenance.
Consumers desiring more information about the product recall should write to Echo, Incorporated, 400 Oakwood Road, Lake Qurich, Illinois 60047, or call Echo's Service Department at (847) 540-8400.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

Gears of War: Judgement received its first trailer and we had the chance to witness some incredible Halo 4 gameplay footage.

Patch 5.0 is coming! Of course, you've got my 5.0 survival guide if you're just looking for the highlights, but several other druid bloggers have posted more detailed spec-specific stuff, which I'd like to highlight today.
- Balance: The indomitable Lissanna has her 5.0 guide at Restokin. Team Waffle also had a Balance roundtable podcast; haven't listened yet, but I'm pretty sure they covered everything you'd need to know.
- Guardian: Arielle wrote a book (aka 7 forum posts) on prepping for 5.0 over at TIB.
- Feral: *crickets* (Go read my forums or the official forums…if any other feral discussion is going on anywhere, I'd love to know.)
- Resto: Beru's got a 5.0 Resto FAQ at Falling Leaves and Wings.

If you live somewhere along the north eastern seaboard and have shopped at one of Wegmans 80+ glorious grocery stores, I'm going to go ahead and venture that you probably agree with me that it is The Most Fantastic Grocery Store in the history of grocery stores. My friends have often heard my vociferous, nay, my passionate remarks about how Wegmans is like Disneyland for grownups; in my experience, they have everything you could ever hope to find at either a Safeway or a Whole Foods, with reasonable prices and helpful employees to boot.
What's more, Wegmans gets a bunch of accolades for taking the best care of its employees and its work environment. For sixteen consecutive years, they've been on the "Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For" list, coming in at number five for 2013:
Wegmans Food Markets
Rank: 5
Previous rank: 4
2011 revenue ($ millions): $6,335
What makes it so great?
Turnover is an exceptionally low 3.6% at the Northeastern grocery chain, which lets employees reward one another with gift cards for good service. Many workers like it there so much they bring in relatives—one in five employees are related.
And until now, Wegmans has voluntarily offered health plans for even their part-time employees who work only 20+ hours a week, although the law only requires them to do so for employees who work 30+ hours a week.
The Rochester-based grocer that has been continually lauded for providing health insurance to its part-time workers will no longer offer that benefit. …
Several Wegmans employees confirmed part-time health benefits had been cut and said the company said the decision was related to changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act. …
Wegmans declined to comment.
"As a private company, we don't share specifics of our employee benefits programs. It's a given that health care reform will result in some changes to our benefits program, but it will not change our commitment to meeting the needs of our employees," Wegmans said in a statement.
The news item is quick to note that a certain ilk will interpret this as a positive; that employers dropping coverage is somehow a "win-win" because not only can these part-time employees, newly without the option of receiving health care plans through their employer, qualify for subsidized insurance plans with potentially more comprehensive coverage through ObamaCare's exchanges (although, anyone can pretty much just lie about that requirement), but also that the "employer gets to lower costs."
But, if the employees will (supposedly) be paying lower out-of-pocket costs, and the employer is no longer directly bearing the costs… who, exactly, is paying for all of this ostensibly stupendous coverage, as well as the expensive and top-heavy bureaucratic system through which it is going to come? Anyone? Anyone?

On Monday, just two weeks after saying that he accepted the "general idea" of the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative (API), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected it as a basis for talks with
the Palestinians. This rejection is actually more than it seems, and it is important to understand both what the API itself says and, concomitantly, what Netanyahu's rejection implies. Read more at FMEP's blog, Facts On The Ground.

It's the end of the summer, and while it's not winter quite yet, we got you a frosty gift. When we recently released Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Paths of Prestige there were some questions on the messageboards regarding the winter witch prestige class and how it worked with hexes and spells and some of the other goodies the prestige class gets. Since we're gearing up for the Reign of Winter Adventure Path, we decided we'd revisit the winter witch, make a few clarifications, and present you fine folks with the result. We wanted to get it cleared up so people can play the class in the Adventure Path, but don't think we're being completely altruistic—we really wanted to make sure that the White Witches of Irrisen provide a significant challenge to pesky adventurers making trouble and poking their nose in their nation's frozen business!

From "The Daily Drive - Consumer Guide®
|1957 Packard Imperious
The year 1956 marked the last hurrah for the "real" Packard. After that, Studebaker tried (somewhat successfully) to turn a Studebaker President into a Packard, but it was too little (literally!) too late.
There are stories of S-P trying to purchase 1956 Lincoln bodies from Ford to turn into Packards, but that idea died on the vine. What if S-P had purchased bodies from Lincoln, Chrysler, Cadillac, or even AMC and then found enough cash to make some sheetmetal and detail changes? Here's what I think could have been the result.
Be sure to click the "Daily Drive's" link at the top of the page to see more Packards based on Cadillacs, Lincolns, Chryslers and even AMC cars.

111 online is a new service which helps people get urgent healthcare online.
Click here for more information.
Ashworth Street Surgery was formed in July 1999. There are seven doctors who form the partnership: Drs Steve Doyle, Dave Osborne, Jenny Nelson, Shalini Gadiyar, Mark Mudalige, Adam Simmons, Kevin Cody and Feroz Zafar . In addition to this we have Drs Elizabeth Knott, Swee Tan and Hassan Riaz who are salaried GP's, plus a number of training doctors, a nurse practitioner, a community nurse practitioner, practice nurses and health care assistants who compliment the team. There is also a large number of receptionists and administration staff who play a very important role in the everyday running of the practice.
Ashworth Street Surgery is committed to good medical care with continuity and offers a wide range of services. Our surgery times have been extended some mornings and evenings to provide some flexibilty for our working patients.
The practice has seen an increasing list size since it was formed and over time the surgery has developed a number of extensions at Ashworth Street to accommodate both additional clinicians and their own clinical consulting rooms. The most recent extension here at Ashworth Street was completed in July 2010 when a further six consulting rooms (fifteen in all) were developed on the first floor which also incorporates a lift to gain access.
Also in 2010 we saw the completion of our branch surgery in Norden. The surgery is based in what was the Norden Old Library on Edenfield Road. The practice has joined with our local neighbours Edenfield Road Surgery and we both share the upper floor, having two consulting rooms each Monday - Friday. From the feedback we have received from our patients, this has proved to be a huge success for both practices.
Reception at Ashworth Street is open from 8.00am to 6.30pm with no closure at lunchtime. All doctors from both practices will be holding sessions in Norden, so patients will be able to see a doctor of their choice for a pre-booked appointment, and both surgeries have open lists to take on new patients.
If you wish to book an appointment to attend the Branch Surgery you would need to ring the original telephone number for Ashworth Street Surgery which is 01706 346767.
***Please be advised that the Norden branch is only open when a doctor has a surgery and patients are unable to collect prescriptions from this site***

Qur'an on justice
- This is a sub-article to Qur'an.
The Qur'an have verses on justice.
|This Islam-related article is a stub. You can help Wikiquote by expanding it.
The QuranEdit
- Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just.
- Quran 4:135 (Asad) O YOU who have attained to faith! Be ever steadfast in upholding equity, bearing witness to the truth for the sake of God, even though it be against your own selves or your parents and kinsfolk. Whether the person concerned be rich or poor, God's claim takes precedence over [the claims of] either of them. Do not, then, follow your own desires, lest you swerve from justice: for if you distort [the truth], behold, God is indeed aware of all that you do!
- Quran 5:8 (Asad) O YOU who have attained to faith! Be ever steadfast in your devotion to God, bearing witness to the truth in all equity; and never let hatred of any-one lead you into the sin of deviating from justice. Be just: this is closest to being God-conscious. And remain conscious of God: verily, God is aware of all that you do.

Miss Geoness and I in high winds were making an attempt of showing 400 in finger sign. Great Christmas Eve Day geocaching.
Only had a few moments to go out for some quick park and grabs. It was about 68 out but very windy. Had fun using the Geocaching Navigator application on my Blackberry. It was spot on for all of the caches which I found quite nice to use. I still don't like using my phone for a GPS device for geocaching because it simply is not durable for weather, dirt and being dropped. On the other hand for those times that you are out of your expected caching area and want to have instant access to geocaching information this is the way to go. I will be putting out a full review of Geocaching Navigator soon.

In the SWC section on Charisma, we have the following:
"Charisma also limits the number of 'special hirelings' your character can attract into service as vassals. This does not mean normal men-at-arms; it means henchmen who are character types: Magic-Users, Clerics and others. Once your character reaches higher levels, you will need those minions! Charisma does not affect the number of regular troops, lantern-bearers, and pack carriers you can employ, although it might affect how loyal they are."
I scoured the rest of the rules but couldn't find anything else about this, besides the section on Rangers (specific only to that class) and higher level adventuring (but these are "normal" hirelings like men-at-arms.) Are there some rules on this that I just couldn't find? Thx!

Students are being warned to be alert when renting accommodation ahead of the new term.
Police and Action Fraud are say that fraudsters are targeting college and university students with fake lettings in local accommodation.
With a huge demand for housing, the scammers can take advantage by collecting fees up front to secure a deposit.
The autumn months can see a big rise in rental market properties, with first-year freshers and returning students looking online to find houses for let. Bogus adverts appearing on a series of website are offering houses which are either already rented out to other tenants, not owned by the landlord or in some cases not even existing in the area advertised.
Fraudsters are advertising properties to rent at attractive rates and in excellent locations to lure in victims. The adverts may seem genuine, being accompanied by images of the property and contact information. However, fake landlords then trick victims who show interest into handing over a fee even before they've had a chance to view the house or flat, claiming the property is in high demand and will be off the market if they don't act fast.
Action Fraud has issued the following advice to students looking to rent a property:
If you're searching for student accommodation
Only use reputable letting companies.
Do some online research such as using Google maps to check the property does exist.
Make an appointment to view the property in person, and always view the property prior to paying any advance fees.
If a landlord requests money upfront
Be wary. Landlords should never ask for a 'holding deposit' due to high demand.
Don't feel pressured into handing over money. Landlords usually want to know they're getting the right tenants first - they'll request background checks such as employment or character references before asking for any fees.

Danbury again tops Class LL wrestling
Recommended Video:
TRUMBULL -- After a two-year hiatus, Danbury is back on top of the Class LL wrestling mountain.
Not about to let the Class LL title elude their grasp this year, the Hatters had a stronghold on the championship throughout the two-day tournament and wasn't about to let go.
Boasting two weight class champions and four finalists, Danbury won the LL championship, amassing a team score of 215.5 points Saturday before a large crowd at Trumbull High School. Trumbull had an outstanding meet, placing second with a score of 172, followed by South Windsor (160), Simsbury (159) and Xavier (147).
Westhill placed 10th (86.5), Newtown was 11th (83), Ridgefield placed 18th (55), Brien McMahon was 19th and Greenwich finished 20th (53).
Kevin Jack (120), and Juan Garcia (160) each won their respective weight class titles for Danbury, which has won 15 of the last 17 LL team championships.
"It's nice to get the title back, especially after what happened the last two years," Jack said. "We have been mentally ready to go after this title all season. After winning for so many years and then not winning it the last two years, we really wanted to take it this year."
Jack improved to 34-0 on the season in winning the 120-pound title by defeating Simsbury's Benjamin Durst by pinfall in 3:59.
"In the LL yournament, every match is tough, so you have to be prepared to face the best," Jack said. "We have been working hard in the practice room all year for this."
Cross Cannone paced Trumbull, winning the 113-pound title by taking a 3-1 decision against South Windsor's Justin Healey.
"Winning this title feels great, I can't believe it," Cannone said. "He (Healey) is a great wrestler, so I knew that every second of the match was going to be tough for me. I kept looking over to coach during the match and he kept me going and really motivated me. Our team really did great tonight."
Trumbull's Brandon Licinsky made a strong showing in the 126-pound class, advancing to the finals, where he lost to Southington's Nathan Solomon.
"I'm very pleased with what I saw from our guys tonight," Trumbull coach Niko Filippakis said. "I couldn't have asked for more than the effort the team gave tonight. Win, lose or draw all I ask is that they wrestle hard and they sure did."
Fairfield Prep's Connor Ward lost a 10-2 decision to Sam Odell of South Windsor in the 152-pound final while Danbury's Juan Garcia pinned Trumbull's Brandon Fulco in the 160-pound title bout.
"All season long we've been focused on winning this title," Garcia said. "To accomplish our goal feels wonderful because we're worked so hard to reach it. Now we're ready to see what we can do at the State Open."
Danbury's Zach Tepper was edged by Favion Williams of Weaver/Hartford Public 6-5, in the 138-pound final, and Shane Jennings of the Hatters was pinned by South Windsor's Casey Mitchell in the 145-pound championship match.
Westhill was sparked by a third-place finish from Nick Jimenez in the 152-pound class. After winning his first match of the tournament by pinfall in 2:35, Jimenez was edged by Trumbull's David Briganti 6-3 in the semifinals. Jimenez then won four consecutive matches in the consolation bracket to capture a third-place finish.
His final victory was an 11-3 decision against Kevin Crosen from Glastonbury.
"I really would have rather have been in the championship match, but I'm happy with a third-place finish," Jimenez said. "Competing in the State Open gives me a second chance to win a championship. I'm going into the Open with a lot of determination."
Vikings freshman Matt Conte continued to wrestle well beyond his years. Conte placed fourth in the 106-pound class, winning an 11-2 decision against Southington's Zachary Murrillo to get to the third/fourth place match. He advanced to the semifinals, where he fell to Paolo Freitas of Danbury, 5-0.
"I just went out there with the mindset of having fun," Conte said. "Getting to the Open was all that mattered to me. This was my first LL appearance, so I think it loosened me up and got me ready for the State Open."
Greenwich's best finishes came from senior captains Mark Chien and Mike Gestal. Chien went 4-2 in the 106-pound weight class, good for a fifth-place finish and a spot in next week's CIAC State Open. Chien won a 5-3 decision over Zachary Murrillo of Southington in the fifth-place match.
"It feels great to finish in the top five," Chien said. "It's a little bittersweet, because my goal was to win a state championship. But coach always tells us to wrestle tough in the wrestle-backs and that's what I did."
Chien is looking forward to making his mark at the State Open.
"I'm very excited for it," he said. "This is what I've been working toward the past four years, so I'm anticipating having a great experience there."
Gestal pinned Ridgefield's Matthew Sesto in 36 seconds to earn a fifth-place finish in the 170-pound class and a berth in the Open. Gestal won three of his five matches in the tournament.
"Mark proved that hard work really pays off," GHS coach George Albano said. "I'm very happy to see him go to the State Open."
Senior Grant Cucchissi (182) and junior Jack Benenson (120) also placed among the top eight in their respective classes for the Cardinals, falling just one win short of a fifth-place finish.
"It was a great tournament for us and about what I expected from our team," Albano said. "After losing last week's FCIAC meet (due to inclement weather), we showed up prepared and determined. Our guys wrestled some great matches."

Fumbling Towards Workspace Ecstasy
In my mind, I have a perfect office space imagined. I've had it for years. In my mind, I mean.
In this space, I can work free from clutter and distraction in a energized yet Zen-like environment that will allow my creativity and productivity to blossom.
Here's see how that is working out in practice at the moment. Literally, as I type this — here is my desk.
Okay, it's a work in progress.
What you're seeing there is a bunch of hard drives hooked up as I'm attempting to clear enough space on one big ole' two terabyte so I can format it and partition it for use with my MacBook that you can spot among the spaghetti.
My dream office? Actually, it's close all of a sudden. I thought it was years away. Then I remembered that it didn't have to be. I'll explain more about that in some other posts.
Right now, though, I'm actually feeling very good about my workspace — and even my work — appearances to the contrary.

Green technology is gaining force in several forms across the world. Someway, people turn their surroundings and habitats greenish with grasses and plants. In some other way, people go for electric vehicles and alternative power sources for a greenish life. In fact, with the global warming looming as a huge threat overhead, people have largely recognized the importance of "going green." In this article, we talk about a number of architecture projects that are built in liaison with the environment. Despite being massive structures, they provide relief for nature enthusiasts, because they are sanctified with alternative power options and many other much-esteemed green credentials.
Barnacre Equilibrium Tanks
Ian Simpson Architects has proposed this sustainable housing project merging greenness and aesthetic value at the same time. Barnacre Equilibrium Tanks, a restoration of two abandoned water tanks, is proposed to be located in Barnacre-with-Bonds, North Lancashire. This area, thanks to its adjacency to sea and nearby greenish landscape, is great for this amazing green project. The project comprises of almost ten rooms in two water reservoirs. Its eco friendly credentials include solar panels for energy generation, energy efficient lighting system, green roofing and much more.
Greentainer project itself explains what it is. It is a green architecture developed on a disused shipping container. The 40-foot container has been made into an incredible housing space that you can use for a mobile canteen and trade show. The external wall of the container has been replaced with glasses. Solar panels are placed in the top to harvest sun power required for the entire housing. Quite amazingly, unlike all other container architectures, Greentainer can be transported using the regular shipping container haulers and trucks.
Fine Arts Center in Egypt
It is a majestic sustainable building project for a fine arts center in Helwan, Egypt. Material Engineering Schools Moatessem Esmat has designed this completely eco friendly structure or a series of structures. Green credentials of the architecture involve solar, wind and water energy systems and lots of green spaces. The entire electrical system of the structure runs on alternative power.
Marina beach tower Oppenheim
The Marina + Beach Towers project has been proposed by Oppenheim. The astounding eco friendly architecture will be located in US. The building will provide an exalted living experience for residents.
Solar and wind power, natural ventilation and cooling systems such as HVLS fans add into the green aspects of the architecture.
Eye-catching botanical gardens, plants and ultimate greenery are the specialties of the project.
Urban Cactus
Urban Cactus is a sustainable and green housing project for the city of Rotterdam. Designed by the architectural firm UCX Architects, Urban Cactus is an ultimate green solution for city inhabitants. Spread up to 98 residential units in its 19 floors, the building provides green exteriors for every family. The building is built in a spiraling structure with fresh air for all.
Aquarius tower
Aquarius tower, a 500-foot condominium in Georgia, US is built of state of the art eco-friendly and pollution-free technologies. Designer Antonia Escandari of Florida has realized that this project is hugely depending on alternative power options. More than half of the power required for the massive dwelling unit is generated by the building itself. Sun, wind and water sources help produce the power in the architecture that cost $70 million.
Project green
Project Green is another remarkable green technology architecture project. It comprises of six massive buildings. The entire project includes 1,406,750-square-feet for residential units, 588,000-square-feet is for office purposes, 175,000-square-feet for retail stores and 5200 square feet for car parking. Green roofs, rain harvesting and solar power enrich the green architecture.
Gwanggyo Green Power Center
Gwanggyo Green Power Center is a state of the art eco friendly city concept from the Rotterdam-based architecture firm MVRDV. The amazing project that includes hill-like buildings is proposed for a new city in south Seoul, South Korea. Its designers recently grabbed the Gwanggyo City Center Competition for the project that can accommodate more than 77,000 inhabitants in a grand eco friendly atmosphere.
Tour Végétale de Nantes
The French city of Nantes houses this marvelous structure designed by architect Edouard François. The architecture of 17 stories grows plants around its parapets. The built-in mechanism to grow plants is indeed the major feature of the structure. Plants from across the world are planted on the structure under the headship of the famous botanist Claude Figureau, who is associated with the project.
Whittier organic food center towers
A passionate Oregon University student named Daniel Toole has proposed this new building idea to meet the carbon footprint. Mr. Toole put forward the architecture design called, "Whittier Organic Food Center," which will harness solar, wind and hydroelectric power sources to reduce the ecological cost. The designer was awarded with the esteemed Cavin Family Traveling Fellowship 2011 for his innovative plan.

PISCES (Partnerships Involving Stakeholders in the Celtic Sea Ecosystem) is an international partnership part-funded by LIFE+ that has used an innovative process to bring together the major sectors operating in the Celtic Sea and Western Channel to find a way to manage marine activities more sustainably.
The Celtic Sea and Western Channel is one of the most heavily used areas on the planet. Growing demand for finite marine resources and a lack of coordination requires closer cooperation and joint planning between stakeholders in order to maintain the health of the marine environment.
Using the ecosystem approach can help to ensure we have viable marine industries, prosperous coastal communities and a healthy marine environment for generations to come.
PISCES has produced a practical guide for implementing the ecosystem approach through marine policy, with particular focus on the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. The guide has been produced as a result of the unique partnership with Celtic Sea stakeholders working with a common goal to find ways to manage activities more sustainably and share their experience of good practices. The guide has also benefited from input from an advisory group of international experts and comments from more than 30 wider stakeholders.
The PISCES guide is essential reading for those who want to understand what marine stakeholders want to see in policy implementation Ann Bell, North Sea Commission.
The PISCES group developed a strong sense of identity, with trust and understanding between members and new networks and contacts created. The PISCES guide, which made recommendations for governments and stakeholders, was widely promoted and well received.
Building on that strong foundation of collaboration, WWF-UK is leading the LIFE+ funded Celtic Seas Partnership. The aim of the project is to demonstrate best practice through multi-sector collaboration to achieve Good Environmental Status in the Celtic Seas.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Lyme disease vaccine is an active immunizing agent used to prevent infection by Lyme disease bacteria. It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the bacteria.
Lyme disease causes rash, fever, weakness, and joint and muscle pain. The disease is caused by bacteria passed to humans by the bite of infected ticks.
The risk of getting tick-borne infections can be lessened by such precautions as wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, tucking pants into socks, treating clothing with tick repellent, and checking for and removing attached ticks.
This medicine is no longer commercially available.
In deciding to use a vaccine, the risks of taking the vaccine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this vaccine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Lyme disease vaccine has not been tested in persons younger than 15 years of age. Use is not recommended in infants and children.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly as they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of Lyme disease vaccine in the elderly with use in other age groups, this vaccine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.
Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.

Excellence in Design
Honeywell Aerospace
Honeywell Aerospace, Phoenix, AZ, received the 2012 Higgins-Caditz Design Award, for work related to its HTF700-series engine. To manufacture the combustor assembly for its 7000-lb.-thrust propulsion engines, Honeywell fabricates 16 tiled heat shields. Previously, these heat shields were machined from a cast material, weighed 3.8 oz and cost $910 per combustor. Honeywell Aerospace engineers Thomas Johnson and Ronald Pardington redesigned the heat shield as a stamping, reducing its weight and cost.
Working closely with Cygnet Metal Stamping & Fabricating Inc., Glendale, CA, the engineers developed the new stamped part from 0.040-in.-thick Haynes sheet. As a result, part weight was reduced by more than half, and its cost by more 85 percent compared to the machined heat shield.
The Design Award, created by the Worcester Pressed Steel Co., Worcester, MA, and sponsored by The Quarterly Club, recognizes a manufacturing company for outstanding achievement in developing an innovative product design. Honeywell is donating its $1500 cash prize to the Challenger Space Center Arizona, a local nonprofit organization providing vital science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs to students primarily in grades K-8.
Excellence in Process Control
Ramcel Engineering
Ramcel Engineering Company, Northbrook, IL, received the 2012 Link Systems Process Control Award, for developing an automated high-speed measurement cell used to inspect parts coming off of a progressive lamination die producing 21-piece laminated stacks. The part, used in an automotive electronic power-steering application, requires 100-percent inspection of height, flatness, size and location of ID/OD, and size and location of magnetic window slots.
The RamcelVision automated inspection cell comprises a turntable that progresses the product to each station, while a PLC tracks each part in the cell. At each turntable location, a clear glass insert allows part illumination from underneath using a specially designed red lamp. At one station a camera grabs a still image of the 10-mm-tall part; resolution is 4910 by 3280. At another station, three precision contact probes take measurements. Then a sensor detects the difference from the highest and lowest values and determines if the part is in tolerance for flatness. A robot moves acceptable parts onto a packaging conveyor, while rejected parts drop down into a crusher, guaranteeing that rejected parts never mix with good parts.
The Ramcel vision system performs more than 80 individual measurements per cycle. The application communicates with a PLC and data server, feeding collected measurements to an Excel spreadsheet to provide Ramcel and its customer 100-percent traceability. While manual part inspection of parts using pin gauges, calipers and micrometers would take 1 to 2 min., the automated cell has trimmed inspection time to 4 sec./part.
The Process Control Award, sponsored by Link Systems, Nashville, TN, promotes the application of electronic-analog closed-loop process controls in the metalforming process by recognizing innovative electronic solutions implemented by a North American manufacturing company, which have resulted in significant quality, cost-reduction and/or productivity improvements.
Excellence in Product Development
Pridgeon & Clay
Pridgeon & Clay, Inc., Grand Rapids, MI, received the 2012 Ulbrich Award for Competitive Excellence in Product Development for its stamped bearing bracket. The firm, a value‐added manufacturer of stamped and fineblanked parts for the automotive industry, approached its customer, NTN Bearing Corporation, with the improved design for the bearing bracket, originally cast and machined to maintain tolerances of 30 microns. To reduce part weight and cost, in 2011 the OEM customer submitted an RFQ. Every supplier except for Pridgeon & Clay no-quoted the job. Part volume: 31,500
NTN already had a part design being produced overseas comprising a stamped bracket that required machining after stamping Instead, Pridgeon & Clay proposed the switch to a progressive stamping of 5-mm-thick stainless steel, which included trim operations to eliminate machining. Key to the success of the project was proving to its customer that the existing design and processes were capable of holding the required tolerances. Pridgeon & Clay and NTN engineers developed tolerance requirements that could be met in a stamped part. They also determined the effects of parts significantly out of round and tolerance, concerned about the impact on bearing life. They found that the stamped part exhibited greater elasticity than expected—the material flexed to accept the bearing, rather than crack as would a cast metal part.
Pridgeon & Clay's tooling engineers ultimately determined that a 16-station progressive die, run in its 1250-ton press, could hold the required part tolerances. Moving from a cast part to a stamped design removed more than $8 from the cost of each CV-joint assembly. In addition, the design change resulted in significant weight savings for the OEM.
The Product Development Award, sponsored by Ulbrich Stainless Steels and Special Metals, Inc., North Haven, CT, acknowledges a manufacturing company that demonstrates outstanding innovation in developing and manufacturing a product that best uses metal in place of a nonmetal competitive material, or that develops a product using flat-rolled material that was previously manufactured using more costly manufacturing processes.
Excellence in Quality
Pridgeon & Clay
Pridgeon & Clay also received the 2012 Waukesha Metal Products Excellence in Quality Award, for introducing several programs surrounding quality metrics, including development of scorecards used to highlight key metrics in each area of its business. The firm's quality department tracks progress on the scorecard, which is reviewed monthly by top management.
The Pridgeon & Clay quality department streamlined its gauge-planning process in 2010 and enjoyed a 50-percent reduction in the cost of gauge changes. In 2011 the group challenged itself to make another significant improvement, and did so by developing a new document called a Preliminary Dimensional Plan. It's used to provide the gauge shop with a specific outline of its requirements, mirroring the control plan and supporting the inspection checklist used by production personnel.
In addition, during the past year Pridgeon & Clay's customers required annual validations on all service parts, above and beyond their written manuals. This led the company to review its labor and machine resources. As a result, it adjusted its gauge-technician staff to allow CMM work on third shift, reviewed production-CMM programs being run for ongoing capability studies and incorporated dimensional reports into its validation program.
Pridgeon & Clay also introduced several new products in 2011-2012 with extremely tight tolerances, which required the addition of new measurement equipment. The company integrated a new scope to check for chamfers, radii, small teeth and centers of arcs, and a multisensory vision system to inspect fuel-cell components. It's also evaluating the addition of portable gauging machines (Renishaw Equator models, described as an alternative to custom gauging) to replace CMMs on the production floor. And it's closely monitoring and addressing CMM-related production-downtime events.
With the close monitoring and effective action plans related to metrics, Pridgeon & Clay has set a goal of getting its PPAP records 100-percent complaint to customer requirements, and has improved to 95 percent, compared to 88 percent previously.
The Quality Award, sponsored by Waukesha Metal Products, Sussex, WI, recognizes outstanding achievement by a manufacturing company in the development and implementation of a company-wide quality system that effectively uses continuous improvement.
Excellence in Productivity
Eclipse Manufacturing
Eclipse Manufacturing Company, Sheboygan, WI, received the 2012 Zierick Manufacturing Corporation Productivity Award. Eclipse, a contract manufacturer of stamped and welded assemblies serving the small gas engine, automotive and other markets, won the award for incorporating a robotic-welding cell to assemble fan housings. The project resulted in dramatic productivity improvements.
Due to volume limitations, the original manufacturing plan was to stamp the housing components and assemble parts using manual spot-welding machines. Eclipse was able to justify assembly with a robotic-welding cell when it received additional orders for engine-housing assemblies. Each housing comprises two or three unique baffle components with seven to nine weld nuts.
The robotic-welding cell as-designed was budgeted to cost the same as three sets of manual spot-welding fixtures. The custom cell features powered and free conveying equipment. One conveyor can load six sets of components on pallets (shown below), while six fan-housing stampings on pallets move on a second powered conveyor. The conveyors automatically transport the housings and the internal components into the welding cell.
The cell employs three robots—two handling robots and one welding robot —as well as a nut welder. The nuts are welded to the housing before the housing passes to the handling robot for locating in a weld fixture. Part-presence and motion sensors track all parts and automated motions, and tool positions. The composite cycle time for the weld cell averages 100 sec. Welding time for one housing type has been reduced by 53 percent, while production volume has increased by 30 percent.
Overall savings for the three housings being welded in the cell is estimated at 1.2 man-years compared to manual spot welding. The weld cell was used to provide a 10-percent cost savings to the customer. As a result of the increased scheduling flexibility provided by the robotic-welding cell, Eclipse earned a Supplier of the Year Award for Customer Service at its customer's annual supplier conference held in April 2012.
The Productivity Award, sponsored by Zierick Manufacturing Corp., Mount Kisco, NY, recognizes outstanding achievement by a manufacturing company in the development and implementation of programs, processes and use of assets that lead to significant improvements in productivity.
Excellence in Safety
Unirac Inc.
Unirac Inc., Albuquerque, NM, received the 2012 Pitcher Insurance Agency Safety Award, for its outstanding employee-driven safety and health program responsible for achieving more than three years of injury-free performance. Employing 140 people, Unirac designs, manufactures, distributes and installs photovoltaic solar-industry mounting structures.
By using a "from the ground up" approach versus a "top down" management mandate to improve its safety performance, the company has achieved full-scale buy-in from its operators who self-monitor workcell activities, develop safe work practices and enhance material-handling procedures. With the many pieces of equipment employed at the company, the handling of 4000-lb. bundles of raw material via forklifts and a fast-paced environment, the employees' commitment to safety is evident. In January 2012, Unirac had a surprise OSHA audit with no findings.
Select portions of Unirac's safety program include program oversight and administration at the COO level; use of daily, weekly and monthly safety checklists and data collection that drive safety metrics and KPIs; a documented process to evaluate accidents, incidents and near misses as a means of root-cause and corrective-action efforts; and an employee-run safety team with management involvement and commitment to support the team in implementing their recommendations.
As part of the safety program, safety audits are conducted across the factory using "new sets of eyes" from outside the audited area to look for safety concerns that may be overlooked by those who work there every day. Opportunities for improvement are posted and the implementation of the recommendations tracked. In addition, spot awards and employee-of-the-month recognition for self-directed safety-related actions are provided, and employees' safety efforts are recognized in the company's pay-for-performance bonus program. Unirac continues its commitment to world-class operational practices with its pursuit of OHS 18001, Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems certification, anticipated by the end of 2012.
The Safety Award, sponsored by Pitcher Insurance Agency, Chicago, IL, acknowledges either an effective comprehensive safety program or a specific innovative idea in the context of an effective safety program.

Excellence as an Educational Institution
Orleans/Niagara Career and Technical Education Center (OCTEC)
OCTEC, Medina, NY, received the 2012 Clips & Clamps Industries Educational Institution Award for its outstanding Precision Machine Technology (PMT) program. Under the direction of instructor William Rakonczay, the primary focus of the program is "jobs, jobs and jobs." Students—currently 24 seniors and 25 juniors—come to OCTEC at the beginning of their junior year. By the end of their senior year, they are expected to be ready for the workforce with, at the very least, good entry-level skills. The program is a mix of theory work and hands-on practice —roughly 2 hours of practical work per hour of classroom instruction. In addition to technical knowledge and practical skills, students must demonstrate organizational skills, responsibility, good attendance, a positive work ethic and all of the attributes that make a good employee.
More than 50 percent of the students in the class achieve National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certification each year. The OCTEC PMT program is the only secondary program in New York certified by NIMS. Articulation agreements also have been forged with Erie Community College, Monroe Community College and Genesee Community College, through which students may choose to earn college credits.
Successful students are rewarded by working in "capstone" placements at local companies. Seventy-five percent of seniors are successfully placed in work-study programs each year. In addition, this summer five juniors worked in internships at local companies and were part of OCTEC's fall co-op program.The Educational Institution Award, sponsored by Clips & Clamps Industries, Plymouth, MI, recognizes a public or private educational institution that provides outstanding training and education services to companies in the metalforming industry.

Even if you're not a serious triathlete in training, the s720i heart rate monitor can still be a good choice for tracking your cardio workouts.
The beauty of the s720i is that it has all the features you need for serious runners, and it packs in a whole other tracking system for bicycling too.
Going above and beyond watches like the RS series, the s720i is the mid-level model in the triathlon series and is Polar's most popular wrist computer ever.
You'll never be at a loss for data as the s720i will track all running and cycling performance indicators and other training conditions like altitude and temperature.
And the best thing is, when you get home exhausted from your workout, you can just beam your training data directly into your PC via infrared technology.
The s720i is the next best thing to having your own personal trainer because you don't have to pay the Polar for every cardio or workout session.

This summer I saw my physiatrist who has been overseeing my pain management since my accident 12 years ago. I was informed that there had been changes in the law and I would need to reduce my medication to comply. I have been taking 20 mg oxycodone every for hours as well as Oxycontin 20 mg every 8 hours for at least 2 years and was reduced by 1/3. The medicine just didn't didn't keep up with the pain and eventually I stopped taking my morning doses so that I could split them and take a 30 milligrams through the afternoon until bed. Otherwise I won't drive because the evenings are too tough. To be honest, the pain pills have become a nuisance because they barely keep up with the pain. I'm so uncomfortable. That just cost me a 4-year relationship and now I'm raising my teenage son and the quality of life is low, and I either need better pain management or a solution to the back injury.
I have degenerative disc in my S1 L1 and L-3 L4 with heterotopic ossification and arthritis throughout my lumbar. A nerve block didn't help at at all and I'm waiting for a wound to heal you before having an epidural injection with some steroids, but I'm doubtful of that. I'm doubtful of all things, because I have been messing with these Doctor's for four years looking for a solution. They are so damn worthless. I'm praying you guys have some good advice. I don't know why I haven't been more active on here, but I'm truly kicking myself for not having done so.
I gained quite a bit of weight and I'm sleeping on a Sleep Number mattress. I'm to the point where even sleeping hurts. I think I need to look into a TempurPedic for more support maybe? I know I need to lose weight and I have begun to eat cleaner with lean proteins and fresh vegetables, but working out causes increased pain and I am freaking out. I need to lose 30 pounds maybe 40. The doctor recommended I look into CBD and now I'm taken a milligram of oil morning and night and gel caps when the pain is bad. Everyone needs understand that win I don't have medication my body freaks out and I have terrible spasms and high blood pressure. It's not it would draw issue, because before the medication increase I was going through the spasms. I had a Baclofen pump put in to resolve the issue, but when it didn't resolve the issue I was given the oxycodone and the oxycontin came 8 months later while going through inpatient physical therapy.
Blah, I hope that was enough information and not to much information. LOL. Sorry, but I am hoping for help.

Winter Pumpkin
per kilogram
Winter pumpkins are a delicious addition to your cold season meal. Choose red or green compact versions of this special cultivar to cook Heaven-and-Earth Tempura Cakes or Pumpkin Puree with Ginger. Its distinctive bottom with a circular ridge, though, gives it away. On some, the ridge may surround a more pronounced bump, or "turban." A freshly cut buttercup may smell like a clean, fragrant cucumber, but once cooked, its orange flesh becomes dense, a bit dry, and very mild.

Special Recipe
Shaved Vegetable Salad with Herbal Dressing and Crunchy Croutons
Salad2 lb medium carrots
1/2 lb fennel bulb
1/4 lb red or torpedo onion
2 hearts of celery
1 head of frisee
1 small head red leaf lettuce
1/4 lb fresh snap peas or shelled english peas
1/2 cup parsley leaves
1-2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup sunflower oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tbsp water
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves or 1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsp honey or sugar
1 garlic clove, smashed to a paste
1-2 ripe avocados
Crunchy Bread2-3 cups thin sliced day old bread, preferably a baguette or something similar
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 garlic clove
- In a 10 or 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic clove and tilt the pan back to pool the oil toward the handle. Gently fry the garlic clove for 10-15 seconds to flavor the oil. Return the pan to horizontal position and add the bread. Mix and toss the bread gently with a wooden spoon until all the pieces are coated in the oil. The bread may break into smaller pieces; this is a good thing.
- Lower the heat and fry the bread gently, stirring occasionally until it begins to turn golden. Stir the bread frequently as it begins to color and continue cooking and tossing until it turns the color of honey, 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and remove the bread to a plate to cool. Can be made 2 days in advance and kept in an airtight container.
- Wash all the vegetables, lettuces, and herbs and let dry in a colander. Meanwhile, make the dressing.
- Mix the vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, oregano, water, salt and pepper together in a bowl with a whisk. Slowly drizzle the oil into the bowl while whisking. Season with salt and pepper, at least 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper.
- On a mandoline slicer, shave the carrots into long thin slices, about 1/8-1/4- inch thick. Shave the fennel, celery hearts, and onion in the same manner. Put all of the shaved vegetables into a large bowl. Add a few handfuls of ice and enough water to barley cover and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the snap peas in half lengthwise. Dry the frisee and tear into bit sized pieces. Dry the red leaf lettuce and cut into ribbons 1/2-inch thick.
- Drain and spin dry the shaved vegetables, making sure to remove any unmelted ice. Toss the shaved vegetables together with the peas and lettuces. Add the dressing and 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the salad and mix well. Put the salad into a serving bowl and top with the chopped parsley. Cube the avocado into 1-inch chunks and add to the top of the salad, as well as the crunchy bread.
Serve it with a crisp white wine and enjoy!

For the epicycloid, an example of which is shown above, the circle of radius b rolls on the outside of the circle of radius a. The point P is on the circumference of the circle of radius b. For the example drawn here a = 8 and b = 5.
These curves were studied by Dürer (1525), Desargues (1640), Huygens (1679), Leibniz, Newton (1686), de L'Hôpital (1690), Jacob Bernoulli (1690), la Hire (1694), Johann Bernoulli (1695), Daniel Bernoulli (1725), Euler (1745, 1781).
Special cases are a = b when a cardioid is obtained and a = 2b when a nephroid is obtained.
If a = (m - 1)b where m is an integer, then the length of the epicycloid is 8mb and its area is πb2(m2 + m).
The pedal curve, when the pedal point is the centre, is a rhodonea curve.
The evolute of an epicycloid is a similar epicycloid - look at the evolute of the epicycloid above to see it is a similar epicycloid but smaller in size.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Oldish, newish: A split personality at Lake Monticello
ADDRESS: 29 Cliftwood Road
NEIGHBORHOOD: Lake Monticello
SIZE: 2,500 fin. sq. ft.
LAND: 0.344 acres
CURB APPEAL: 8.5 out of 10
LISTED BY: Craig McCormick, Monticello Country Realtors, 434-589-6386
No one visits Jefferson's Monticello to get smallpox. Similarly, visitors to Williamsburg are thankful that while the staff wears period clothing, they practice modern hygiene. On the whole, people prefer that a historical experience not be couched in the period's smells and infectious diseases (not to mention embarrassingly outdated concepts of gender equality and civil rights).
While this week's house has a certain traditional charm, the obsession with symmetry demanded by some colonial designers (we're looking at you, Charles Bullfinch) has given way to a more modern philosophy of allotting each room as much space as it needs. It's a historic look with a modern vibe.
From the foyer, rooms open to the right and left, suitable as living rooms or dens, each taking a roughly equal corner of the house. A half bath is immediately accessible, along with stairs to the second floor. The familiar layout is comforting, and the soothing impression is enhanced by hardwood floors.
At the back of the house, the architectural restrictions loosen a bit: the kitchen extends across the space to borrow from its neighboring room. This allows for a standard food preparation area– including an island with chairs– and also an open space with enough room for a full dining table. Refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and microwave– all stainless– gleam brightly amid wooden cabinetry and a dark iron chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The storage space under the stairs has been converted into a pantry, one of the more constructive uses for such space we've seen recently.
While the room adjoining the kitchen has yielded ground, it's still of a comfortable size. While it's currently used as a study, a chair rail and elegant French doors connecting to the kitchen suggest that it may have once been a dining room. Returning it to its original purpose would require no effort beyond moving in the furniture.
On the second floor, the master bedroom claims the lion's share of the floor plan. With two large windows and a vaulted ceiling, it feels open and spacious. Its walk-in closet has the third front window, providing welcome well-lit storage space.
And there's more in the master bath's roomy linen closet. The closet itself may be overlooked due to other, more attention-grabbing features of the bathroom like the jetted tub, the dual sinks, or the vaulted ceiling that shares its slope with the master bedroom.
The second upstairs bedroom, while not as large as the master, benefits from having two front windows. Unfortunately, it contains the pull-down attic access.
Since all the front windows are claimed, the home's second full bath gets natural light only from a skylight. A closet off the upstairs hallway houses the washer and dryer; it's right next to the space over the garage.
The builders abandoned the colonial theme when they got to the garage. The ceiling is even with the first floor, but the floor is markedly lower, requiring a special staircase to access the kitchen. It fits two cars and also offers unfinished storage space.
The room above the garage seamlessly joins to the rest of the house, providing storage even if access is slightly cramped by the sloping ceiling. Fortunately, having to work in the space hunched over is mitigated by a large arched window at one end of the room that lets in a lot of light.
The symmetrical, more colonial design returns in the remaining two upstairs bedrooms at the back of the house. Both have windows overlooking the back yard, and enough room for beds but not much other furniture. These two rooms have ceiling fans, like several other rooms in the house, though probably slightly different from the ceiling fans colonists enjoyed.
The nice front porch is one of three outdoor recreation options. Out front, one has plenty of covered space for sitting and looking over the sloping front lawn, while the deck behind the house and its adjoining slate patio are a little smaller. As with most lots in Lake Monticello, the neighboring houses are nearby and visible.
With its clean, regulated exterior and sensible internal design, this house offers an efficient blending of old styles and new concepts. It's also a good reminder that one can capture the appeal of the past without completely abandoning the present.

The Best Ever Skip Hop Pack Little Backpack
I love this cute little back pack. My son is 1 and we use it to carry his daily supplies back and forth to daycare and as a substitute diaper bag. He likes the bright colors and he knows it's his bag. We get lots of compliments on it where ever we go. It's the perfect size for a toddler and the straps are adjustable. It's sturdy and well made, and though it's on the small side, it holds just the right amount of stuff, (which for us is a lot since I'm an over-packer anyway). The name-tag inside didn't bleed and run when I wrote my son's name on it like most fabric tags do. The front pocket is great for the things you need more frequently like kleenux, and small toys, and it has a loop you can hook your keys onto. The side pouch is the perfect fit for a sippy cup. I so glad I got this; I just ordered the matching lunchbox and if I'm half as happy with it as I am with this backpack I'll be really pleased.
Two weeks after I posted this review, and after barely 2 months of use, the zipper for the main compartment broke. I was heartbroken. I searched everywhere for the receipt so I could call for a possible replacement, but no luck. I spent an hour trying to repair it, which to my amazement, I eventually did, but now I feel that it's fragile and I'm waiting for it to break again. So I wanted to add this warming. Do not over-pack and stretch the zipper, it's only plastic and will stretch and bend. Keep an eye on the teeth as you can see them separating and that is your warning of impending breakage.
I know this is made for little kids, but if I was the maker of this product I think that I would use a metal zipper for the main compartment as they are stronger and can take a lot more abuse than a plastic one.
I still love and would recommend this product, I'd just be a little more careful with it.
It's now been 9 months since I repaired the zipper and I haven't had a single problem with it since then. And, we LOVE the lunch box just as much as the backpack.

An estimated 80 million people in North America snore. Taking into account the snorer's spouse and children, as many as 160 million people are negatively affected by snoring. Snoring not only interrupts your sleep cycle, it can also be a symptom of a condition called sleep apnea.
Fortunately, there are cost-effective oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnea that dentists can prescribe to their patients. Traditional mandibular advancement appliances, such as Silent Nite Slide-Link, TAP and EMA, help reduce or eliminate snoring by moving the lower jaw forward, opening the airway to allow air to flow more freely. A newer, less invasive device called aveoTSD is also available. It works by gently holding the tongue forward using gentle suction, preventing it from falling back into the throat and obstructing the airway. Here are four brand-name options:
Silent Nite® Slide-Link ➤
Silent Nite sl is an affordable, custom-made snore-prevention device that is flexible, thin and comfortable for the patient.
TAP® (Thornton Adjustable Positioner) ➤
TAP is a clinically proven appliance solution for snoring and sleep apnea.
Myerson Sleep Better™ EMA® ➤
The EMA (Elastic Mandibular Advancement) custom appliance is a removable intra-oral appliance created for noninvasive treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Apple Sues Amazon over 'App Store'
by Rob on
March 22, 2011
Filed under News, Tips and How-To's
Today is Amazon's launch of their new Android app store called "Amazon Appstore for Android." However, Apple doesn't seem too happy about Amazon's use of the "app store" moniker and has filed a trademark infringement suit against Amazon for their use of the term. Despite the fact that the suit was actually filed last week, long before the Amazon Appstore for Android went live today, Amazon still launched the app store using the term.
Apple has had other opposition to their use of "app store" as well. When Apple filed for a trademark on the term Microsoft disputed it and said that it was too broad and too common a term to be trademarked.
Despite the app store suits that are now flying around, those of you on Android can get Angry Birds Rio from Amazon for the next 16 hours.
