pinning matters
I recently started to feel uncomfortable about the whole image sharing thing that goes on between us all. Up to now, I'd kind of ignored it... we've all heard the appalling stories of how disreputable bloggers steal images and indeed whole creative identities, but well... that's the sort of thing that happens to other people, right?
Well... yes in that it hasn't happened to me yet, but a big 'no' in that we're all in this together, and that's why it's so enjoyable and rich and wonderful, and that's why it's not ok.
I came across this post recently and was inspired to learn more. I realised I knew next to nothing about creative commons or copyright issues or proper Pinterest etiquette, and more importantly, that my ignorance was adding to the problem. I love Pinterest, and really enjoy adding lovely images to my inspiration boards: beautiful homes, gardens, art, and tutorials for making pretty things that I might get round to one day. But I'm lazy about my pinning, and often don't make sure that the image links to its creator, or gives any information at all. This might be ok if it was just for my own personal use, but Pinterest is a social networking site, and when somebody else finds my pin, they have no idea where it came from or who owns it - none at all. That's not right.
So I decided to go through ALL my pins on Pinterest and check that they linked to the correct source. Lots didn't. If I couldn't find the source and add the right link, I deleted the pin. This meant lots of deletions, which made me sad, but it would make me a lot sadder to know that I was contributing to someone else's work being mis-attributed or stolen. I want to feel that the trail I leave on the web is as clean, transparent and responsible as the trail I leave anywhere else on this earth.
I would encourage you to do the same and to take steps to be a responsible pinner and sharer of images. I've found that Tumblr is one of the worst offenders for not providing links to sources. If you pin from a Tumblr blog, it's very likely that you won't pick up the right source html unless you're very careful to follow any link that's given and chase it up for yourself. That's what I've done for several of my pins, but it's not always possible, and I must admit that the thought of my own work getting lost and unattributed in this way makes me pretty anxious.
If you're feeling as muddled as I was, take a look at this post as well as the one I mentioned at the top, and there's tons of stuff on the Link with Love site. It is quite a lot to take in, but it really matters, so please sit down with a cup of tea and take the time to understand it all and form your own point of view.
You can find my Pinterest boards here if you're interested.

Great post - thanks for all links to places to find out more. I think it is important too and I'm going to learn how to be squeeky clean!

I signed up to Pinterest but I still have no idea what it is for or how to pin something. If I ever do find out, I shall bar your warning in mind.

I couldn't agree more.
I am a big fan of creative commons and I did have all my Flickr pictures and my blog content cc licensed, but sadly I had to revoke that due to the degree to which my trust was being abused. All I asked was that people credited my work and did not use it commercially, but a particular image of mine was popping up all over the place uncredited and had actually been put into print by someone.
Equally worrying though is what's happened with an image I posted on my blog in a review of an interiors book. I posted photographs I'd taken of sample pages from the book, all properly credited and appropriate to a review, and one of those images, that includes a crochet throw draped over a metal bedstead, has been pinned and repinned over and over, mostly linking back to my blog somewhere down the line of repins but without the proper credits for the author of the book. I am forever getting emails asking for the pattern for the throw and yet the book has nothing to do with crochet, which just shows how little attention people pay to the source of a pin. It's scary.

I usually try to pin from source - if I see something uber cute I click on the picture to try and find the original source then pin it.
BUt I guess I don't want to pass other people's work off as my own but I feel sadly that anything we share is open to being copied.
Not that I am condoning this of course.
I thinks sadly the pure of heart are a minority.

Thank you for this post. I don't use pinterest myself but I know that it is a source of inspiration to many people. My worry is that increasingly the boundaries defining ownership of images and ideas are breaking down as a result of image sharing sites like pinterest. I love to welcome visitors to my blog but I was surprised to realise how many of my images are now curated on pinterest.

Thank you for this Sue. I naively though the idea of Pinterest was to link to the original source of the photo. I'm going to have to go and check everything!
I have had a Vietnamese blogger use photos of one of my bags on her blog. She then proceeded to explain how to make it giving the impression it was her pattern which was amazing as I hadn't explained how I had made it.
I did leave her a comment and she did put a link in but insinuated that she didn't think that it was an original pattern!

Sue, I read your post before going to work this morning, but really did not have time to visit the links or think about all the issues you introduced me to.
Tonight, after some visiting those linked sites, and thinking a little bit with my tired brain, I just want to thank you for bringing this big issue to my attention. I guess it is a variation on the intellectual property topic, and shows us true blue folks once again that not everyone is all that ethical or honest.
I've never even looked at Pinterest, and now am not sure I would want to do so.
Thank you, Sue! xo

I use the pin marklet and assumed that taking a viewer to the place I found the image was enough. Now I'm not so sure. Need to take another look I think!

Actually, I find all this need for 'ownership' and recognition a bit pathetic. You put stuff out there for showing off purposes, you get your reward by being told how talented you are (even if people are not) and it serves as a marketing tool. Sometimes it goes a bit wrong but well, that's tough. The pluses are huge but all anyone cares about is their ego and money.
Sharing is good, clever and nice. The people who are truly awarded and happy do this. People then WANT to pay and see them happy and they do. Petty people moaning and sniping that their crummy work has been 'stolen' should set their minds on higher things. There really is no such thing as originality. Just original to us. No one knows if something has been done before. Not even if it is in a book. Just because something is published, doesn't mean someone else hasn't already done it. It is literally impossible to check all the millions of books already out there and all the crafters own private projects. The concept of ownership of ideas is really a ludicrous one to my mind.
I really wouldn't dream of passing stuff off as my own but anyone knowing their own worth doesn't need to worry about this. Just leave people to get on with what they do and worry about what you are doing. It all comes out in the wash. I can't stand all this pedantic mealy mouthed stuff.
I am only uncomfortable about using personal images - children, babies especially. But even so, don't share them if you are worried about it (I would be myself).
No matter what you do to the title of your pin, it goes back to the source of the original pin. If that is wrong, that is not down to us if we re-pinned. Perhaps we should make sure when we are pinning ourselves but that is all I am prepared to do. In anycase what is the point of something incorrectly labelled if you want to go and find it at some point?
Whinging and whining and moaning is small minded and reminds me of the little girl putting her arm around her work at school so it couldn't be copied. Me, I didn't care. Copy away. I know what I did or didn't do and that is good enough for me.
If you are selling on line, then there are risks but there are also huge pluses with something like pinterest.

Hello Pam,
I don't think that anyone on any of the posts I've linked to is sniping, whinging or moaning. I think people are engaging in some overdue and well-informed debate that affects how we behave in a responsible way. It's not all about ownership or recognition, it's about copyright law, intellectual property and being a good neighbour, amongst other things. I'm glad to be part of a community of people who care about these things and can debate subjects like this with integrity and intelligence.
Best wishes,

These issues were brought to my attention earlier in the week, after reading an article online. Sometime soon I'm going to go through my 'pins' and make sure they are linking back to the copyright owner. I'd assumed that because the images do link back that it was a good way to send traffic to the artists/writers involved but now realize I've been naive and also lazy with my pinning habits.

Dear Sue, I wholeheartedly agree with your post and your reply to Pam. I actually don't understand why anyone would object to giving the source of an image or text. Yes, it's about sharing, and sharing includes sharing the name of the person who made it, surely?
I love the new blanket you're working on, by the way.

I read this with a great deal of interest. I don't have a Pinterest a/c but have had a foray or two on the website. I found it quite a disconcertingly detached environment which possibly makes the kind of thing you are writing about easier to get away with. Wonderful though sharing stuff is, sadly there will always be those who don't scruple to plagiarise. In view of your sapient comments I shall not be repairing the omission of not having a Pinterest a/c myself at the moment!
I only discovered your blog today - I like it very much especially the post about "Not matter the long pause." and your lovely sea and shore coloured crochet blanket. Have a good weekend! Elizabeth

Most pictures on the internet are used without permission and without criminal intent. Especially if one blogs and/or wants to share a pic they find inspirational or beautiful,easy enough to credit it IF the name of the artist or photographer is specified,but what if it isn't?
I think if a person doesn't profit in any way from it,is just like saving magazine pics.
We are bombarded with images especially on line, most people will have forgotten the picture and the blog unless the artist is already famous.

Grade Inflation
Cameron is about to graduate from high school. I have to let that sink in for just a bit … In a few short weeks, Cameron will receive a high school diploma. Hip Hip Hooray … right? Why don't I feel like celebrating? I know I need to get a party invitation ready to email to the masses, but for some reason, I'm not quite excited enough about the event to start the planning process. I was on a photo-sharing website the other day, and saw ads for graduation announcement photo cards. Crap. That would've been a good idea to send out. I guess it's not too late. Why didn't I think about this before now? Why am I so reluctant to embrace this milestone event? Cameron has been accepted into his first choice of postsecondary programs, he will be living away from home come September, and he is well on his way towards the next phase in life. Yet, it's not the melancholy of sending my firstborn off to "college" that has me reluctant to celebrate his high school commencement. I guess I feel that Cameron's graduation isn't really a true representation of achievement.
Don't get me wrong. It's not that I'm not proud of Cameron. He is an amazing young man with great determination to do what it takes to achieve his dream of owning a pizza restaurant one day. But has his education, which earned him a diploma, been sufficient? I recently had dinner with a group of moms from Cameron's school and the topic of grades came up. It was generally agreed that the grading system at the school was meaningless. Most students receive A's across the board, and therefore grades can't possibly be representative of ability. But if your kid comes home with straight A's, is it something to complain about? Deep down, I realize that it is a complaint-worthy offense, but I never raised the issue. But now, because I never raised the issue, I'm left with nothing but standardized test scores as the representation of Cameron's strengths and deficits. No matter how thorough and extensive, testing can never be a true representation of a student's abilities in a classroom. So now what do I do?
As Cameron begins his postsecondary programing this fall, I vow to stay on my toes and look for measurable improvements in areas that need improvement. Regardless of what the program reports happens in the classroom, if I don't see improvement at home, it's not an improvement. It will have to be a vigilant effort on my part, because when someone tells me my kid is doing well, I tend to readily agree with them. However, there are certain things about Cameron that will get in the way of his employability. He needs help formulating strategies to overcome these hurdles, aside from mom's constant nagging. When I see these types of improvements happening with Cameron, I'm sure then I'll feel like celebrating. As for the upcoming graduation celebration, I suppose I can look at it as celebrating the things to come.

2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell Delivered to First Retail Customer
Regional Southern California Rollout Previews Broader Hydrogen Availability
Automakers, under pressure from government regulators worldwide, are looking to lower their cumulative CO2 emissions, and each has its own favored technology. For Nissan, it's electrics. Toyota is all-in on hybrids, Volkswagen is a big believer in diesels, and General Motors believes its Voltec range-extended electric models are the wave of the future. But for Hyundai, the company's clean-fuel play is hydrogen. To kick off that initiative, the company held a ceremony at Tustin Hyundai, a Los Angeles-area dealer in the suburb in Orange County, where Hyundai North America CEO Dave Zuchowski was on hand to give the keys to Timothy Bush, the first retail customer to receive a 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell.
As was the case with many of the early EVs, the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell is offered on a lease-only basis of 36 months at $499 a month with a down payment of $2,999. Although those terms may seem steep for a compact crossover, that amount includes unlimited, free hydrogen refueling, and the same "Your Service" valet maintenance offered with the Equus luxury sedan, in which the dealer will pick up your car for service, provide you with a loaner vehicle, and deliver the vehicle back to the owner at a residence or workplace at no additional charge.
If you're interested in being a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell early adopter, you can register your interest at hyundai.com. The company touts the convenience of refueling in less than 10 minutes and a driving range of up to 265 miles. There are currently 10 hydrogen fueling stations in operation in California, 16 under construction, and a total of 50 planned statewide by the end of 2016. The 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell is currently offered exclusively at three Southern California dealerships: Win Hyundai in Carson, Tustin Hyundai in Tustin, and Hardin Hyundai in Anaheim.

Indian fans give up on cricket team
The shameful performance by the Indian cricket team in the World Cup has left its fans back home shattered. Angry fans have started to protest against the pathetic performance of Indian cricketers by demanding a boycott of the commercials endorsed by them. They are also questioning the logic behind channeling astronomical funds into cricketers' kitty at the expense of other sports.
The much-hyped Indian batting line-up failed to fire, yet again and was bundled out for a paltry 125 runs, even before the completion of 50 overs by a determined Australian side. Australia won the match by 9 wickets
Fans back home, who were led to believe that this Indian team was the best team equipped to win a world cup by advertisement campaigns, had expected a much more disciplined performance. They even forgot the India team's poor show on the New Zealand tour that was cleverly attributed to poor wickets and bad conditions by the team and Indian cricket board
Rueful fans conceded in anger and frustration that after the abject surrender against Australia on the heels of an equally pathetic show against minnows Holland, India could all but kiss goodbye to the Super Six stage.
Reactions were spontaneous throughout the nation as the Indian team meekly surrendered to Aussie power and in Kolkata fans burnt effigies of skipper Saurav Ganguly.
Similarly, in Bhopal an SMS found way to most mobile users urged them to boycotting commercials endorsed by the cricketers. A chain mail with the same message also got going as the cricket-mad nation decided enough was enough
The huge amounts that Indian cricketers earn from endorsing a wide range of products was an aspect that eight out of ten fans referred to - most of them contending that the players were pampered far beyond their capabilities.
More than the defeat, what stung fans was the manner in which India had folded up.
"Just imagine, Bangladesh lost four wickets in the first over and still managed 124 against a sharp Sri Lankan attack. We had (Sachin) Tendulkar, Ganguly, (Rahul) Dravid, Sehwag, Yuvraj and (Mohammad) Kaif and yet we could reach only 125. It's utterly disgusting," said Anil Shorey, a serving colonel in the Indian Army, who initially watched the match with his
12-year-old son before the youngster wandered off to meet his friends around the 10th over.
After Saturday's match, Australia have eight points with its two victories over India and Pakistan while Zimbabwe also have eight - from the victory over Namibia and another four points after England refused to play in Harare. This means that India would have to beat Pakistan, England and Zimbabwe, the other three teams in its group, if it is to qualify for the Super Six.
"It does seem a tall order. We might beat England but it will be tough against Pakistan and don't forget that we play Zimbabwe in Harare so they will have the home crowd advantage," said R.K.Ohri, who once played cricket for India's defence forces.
The recriminations apart, what went wrong with the Indian team, particularly when it was confidently said that it had put behind it the disastrous tour of New Zealand in December-January?
"It's hard to say but it's certainly not too much cricket, as many will now say," felt Ohri. "Every other country plays as much cricket as we do, if not more. I personally feel that Ganguly and the senior members of the team have lost their ability to inspire the team. Everyone seems very distracted. I really don't know why."

Abstract: Abstract We discuss the existence of a pooling equilibrium in a two-period model of an insurance market with asymmetric information. We solve the model numerically. We pay particular attention to the reasons for non-existence in cases where no pooling equilibrium exists. In addition to the phenom- enon of cream skimming emphasized in earlier literature, we here point to the the importance of the opposite: dregs skimming, whereby high-risk consumers are proÞtably detracted from the candidate pooling contract.

During the month leading up the Celebrate Norfolk event in Norwich on June 10, we will release one NorfolkFeeds5000 story per day. To receive them follow us on Twitter or sign up to receive our regular email updates below.
Norfolk Feeds 5000 is a research project which aims to establish the extent to which the Christian community across Norfolk is meeting the simple command of Jesus to "feed the hungry".
Christian churches, groups and individuals across Norfolk meet the needs of the hungry and the thirsty every day of the year through foodbanks, free community meals, homeless projects, soup runs, Messy Church and other activities.
A simple survey has been conducted to attempt to quantify the extent to which this is happening and the findings of the survey will be published here, including many of the stories about the projects which feed people throughout Norfolk.
The project is supported by Celebrate Norfolk, Network Norfolk, Christian Aid, the Diocese of Norwich, Good News for Norwich & Norfolk and Bright Map and is named after the Bible story of the Feeding of The 5000.
If your Christian food-related project is not featured in our case studies and you would like us to include you, please send details, a fact file, a picture and web links to us by clicking here.

The near-fatal crash involving Sweetwater trustee John McCann was caused by another vehicle traveling 87 mph in a 45 mph zone, according to Chula Vista Police.
The South Bay school official nearly died after a July 24 collision on Telegraph Canyon Road at the intersection of Old Telegraph Canyon Road.
"It potentially could have winded up in a fatality if he had been driving any faster," McCann said.
McCann, 45, sustained a head injury in the crash and was taken by ambulance to UCSD Medical Center. He is returning to his work on the school board at Monday night's meeting, but continues rehabilitation therapy for his injuries.
The driver of the other vehicle, Martin Duncan, a 50-year-old Chula Vista resident, sustained a small laceration to his right forearm and complained of pain to his back and knee. He was taken by ambulance to Scripps Hospital.
The investigation report has not yet been released, but a spokesman from the Chula Vista Police Department confirmed the cause of the crash was determined to be Duncan driving at an unsafe speed.
Traffic investigators used data from the "black box" in Duncan's crashed 2011 gray Dodge Challenger to determine what caused the accident. Similar to a flight cockpit recorder, the device is officially called an Event Data Recorder -EDS. It records everything that is happening in a car and can help investigators determine what was happening milliseconds prior to a collision.
A reenactment of the crash determined that if Duncan had been traveling at the posted speed limit, McCann would have been able to safely turn left across Telegraph Canyon Road from Old Telegraph Canyon Road.
Data from the "black box" in McCann's 2006 white Saturn SL Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 showed he didn't try to "punch it" to beat Duncan during his turn, police said.
"Mr. McCann's turning movement was not an associated factor in the collision," Chula Vista Police Department Gary Wedge wrote in an email update about the crash investigation.
McCann served two terms as a councilman on the Chula Vista City Council after being elected in 2002. He was elected as a Sweetwater trustee in 2010.
He also serves as a U.S. Navy reserve officer and was deployed to Mosul, Iraq in 2009-2010 and for a month to the Korean peninsula in 2013.

Today's featured relative in my database is my maternal 2nd great-grandmother, Ida Davis.
Ida was born July 2, 1874 in Owen Co., IN, the daughter of James Austin & Mary Ellen (Swafford) Davis. Ida married August 28, 1892 in Monroe Co., Indiana to Samuel G. Hancock, son of Joseph & Margaret (Vaughn) Hancock. They later divorced, but I have yet to find the exact record. Ida married July 19, 1900 in Monroe Co., Indiana to Carrie A. Morris. Ida died August 2, 1900 in Clay Twp., Owen County, Indiana.
Ida had two daughters out-of-wedlock, Pansy and June. June was my great-grandmother. The search for June's father has been unsuccesful as of yet. Pansy was born December 11, 1894 (where?) and June was born June 11, 1898 in Indianapolis.
I believe I have located Ida in the 1900 census in the 7th Ward, Center Twp., Indianapolis.

Quentin Tarantino has revealed plans for a new movie, tentatively titled 'Killer Crow'.
The director says his latest slavery drama, 'Django Unchained', and his previous film, World War II action flick 'Inglourious Basterds', could be part of a trilogy about people rising up against their oppressors.
He told TheRoot.com: "My original idea for 'Inglourious Basterds' was that this [would be] a huge story that included the [smaller] story that you saw in the film, but also followed a bunch of black troops, and they had been f**ked over by the American military and kind of go ape***t.
"They basically - the way Lieutenant Aldo Raines [Brad Pitt] and the Basterds are having an 'Apache resistance' - [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland.
"I don't know exactly when I'm going to do it, but there's something about this that would suggest a trilogy."
Quentin added the film would be set after the Normandy landings of 1944, which would historically place it a year or so before 'Inglourious Basterds' is set.
He added he has got some way into writing the script, saying: "I have most of that written. It's ready to go, I just have to write the second half of it."

innovatherm is now - for more than 25 years - a leading supplier for process controls and firing technologies for the ceramic industry.
We know the complexity and dependencies of the production process. We give consideration to the raw material, its preparation, extrusion, drying and firing.
Therefore we understand the complete process as a whole. The optimisation of single control loops does not necessarily provide an overall solution with regards to process optimisation.
innovatherms Process optimisation sets a focus on
- all control loops
- the mass flow of raw materials and the batching water,
- the production performances of the dryer and kiln,
- the product quality,
- the energy consumption and the energy efficiency.
.... to achieve
- easy handling for the operators,
- preferably fully automatic operation of the thermal processes,
- maximum support for the operators during analysingthe process situations,
- high flexibility for adaptation to the customer's demands and a
- high reliability
The novacontrol concept stands for a combination of process engineering and process control.
The Present ~ The Future
The Ceramic Roadmap for 2050 describes the actual and future key technologies. Process controls will be of the essence to reach the high demands. The novacontrol concept is ready for this.
novacontrol is used for

The Technology
novacontrol is a so-called SCADA-System.
SCADA means: The Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition is executed on a PC for industrial applications.
The interface to the process is realised by a Simatic-S7 PLC used for fast data acquisition, short pulse signals and backup controls.
The basic control architecture consists of 3 levels :
- Level 2 novacontrol SCADA-System
- Level 1 PLC-Unit
- Level 0 - Sensors and Actuators in the field/ on the furnace
Our control system is designed for the special needs of the ceramic industry. The design supports the special needs for operating tunnel kilns and dryers.
The specific functions have been developed to get a better control and supervision for the productions in kilns and dryers.
- Graphical visualization of the plant
- Graphical user interface "easy to use"
- Definition of different users with different administrator rights (password-protection)
- Efficient use of drying / firing curves and product recipes
- Up to 1000 product definitions/recipes
Tunnel kiln and tunnel dryer:
- Product and position related firing programs (resolution is the single stack at the carriage)
- Product and carriage position related reduction programs
- O2-control in the preheat
- Automatic setpoints within ranges for flue gas and push air
- Definition of up to 100 firing programs
- Definition of up to 16 weekly time programs (time based controls)
Tunnel dryer:
- Product, position related and drying time related setpoints for tunnel dryers with discontinuous charging
- Automatic setpoints for hot air supply within ranges for operation on lowest possible energy level (!)
- Definition of up to 100 firing/drying programs
- Definition of up to 16 weekly time programs (time based controls)
Chamber dryers:
- Product and chamber related programs
- Manual and/or automatic start of dryer programs
- Special hot air distribution in case of lack of hot air
- Automatic setpoints for hot air supply within ranges for operation on lowest possible energy level (!)
- Automatic operation on lowest possible energy level (!)

- Historical archive depending on storage size (> 10 years)
Alarm and Message system:
- Individual design of alarm and message groups
- Statistical evaluation of alarms and messages
- Alarm- and message archive for 5..10 years
Free configurable control system:
- Graphical configuration (fig. 10) of the control structure by means of the graphical control editor.
All control loops may be redefined and / or extended to develop a better control for the specific control loop.
The control design will be done graphically in a "virtual control wiring diagram".
Software clients for remote access within the company Intranet
The operator can carry out the following modifications depending on his training state:
- Change of product data
- Change of control parameter
- Modify of control structures
- Definition of priority of alarms and messages

MONDAY, March 21, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- New research hints at a surprising culprit for excess weight gain in kids: a certain type of ear infection.
The new study finds that chronic middle-ear infections with fluid are linked to alterations in children's taste buds that change their sensitivity to certain foods. This, in turn, might cause kids to eat more of these foods and push them towards obesity, the Korean researchers speculate.
But to see if chronic middle-ear infection actually helps cause obesity will take "larger studies with more patients," said Dr. Jeffrey P. Simons, assistant professor of otolaryngology at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. "As an initial study it's very provocative," he noted.
"This doesn't necessarily mean that one causes the other," added Simons, who was not involved with the study. "There are a lot of risk factors for [this type of ear infection]," he said.
The findings are published in the March issue of Archives of Otolaryngology -- Head & Neck Surgery.
Chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) "is basically middle-ear fluid that is present in the absence of acute infection for three months or more," Simons explained. "It tends not to have the classic signs of acute inflammation like pain and bulging ear drum and fever, although there can be symptoms [such as] a clogged sensation in the ear or decreased hearing."
Researchers have already noted a possible link between childhood obesity and chronic OME. This team of investigators speculated that related changes in taste buds might connect the two. According to the study, chronic ear infection and inflammation might affect a particular nerve, the chorda tympani, that controls taste at the front of the tongue.
"The nerve that supplies taste to the front two-thirds of the tongue goes right through the middle ear where the fluid is sitting," Simons explained. "[The authors' theory is that] there may be some chronic underlying inflammation of that nerve that decreases sensation or increases the taste threshold," he said.
The investigators, from Kyung Hee University in Seoul, South Korea, conducted taste tests and measured body mass index (BMI) in two groups of children: 42 with chronic OME who were having a tube inserted to drain the fluid from their ear and another 42 children without chronic OME.
Children suffering from ear infections tended to be heavier than their counterparts. They also had reduced taste in the front part of the tongue, in particular, leading to a raised threshold for sweet and salt tastes. There was also a reduced ability to detect sour and bitter, but this was much less pronounced.
A higher taste threshold could indicate that children with chronic OME need to eat more food to get the sweet and salty tastes they crave, explained the study authors. And according to Simons, that could mean taking in more calories, "resulting in a contribution to obesity."
If this, in fact, does turn out to be the case, "this may be another reason to treat chronic OME," Simons reasoned.
On the other hand, the relationship may not be so simple. Carolyn Landis, associate professor of pediatrics at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital at University Hospitals in Cleveland, said the connection might be the other way around, with obesity helping to cause ear infections.
"It's kind of a chicken-and-egg thing," she said. As the study noted, obese people do have a thicker fat padding around their ear, which can predispose them to ear infections.
"It would be interesting to explore this further but from this one study, we can't say much definitively," Landis said.
More information
There's more on ear infections at the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The flaming dice that I submitted almost three years ago have been in the top fifty since I submitted them. Going through all the many different types of objects I have submitted over time, I think I should draw a lesson that shows you "how to draw dice", step by step. Dice are an important gaming piece for boardgames that require the roll of two dice that determines how many spaces to move. Dice are also used in a game called craps, and they have been a major symbol for casinos world wide. When ever you think of dice, automatically your mind associates them with either gambling, or some sort of boardgame. As you can imagine, it is somewhat easy to draw these two objects, because all you really need to do is draw two three dimensional squares, and add some dots. Each die has the numbers represented by dots, one, two, three, four, five, and six. Back in the seventies and eighties, large fuzzy dice where a popular commodity to hang in the rear-view mirror of your car. I think you will enjoy using this tutorial to teach yourself "how to draw dice", step by step. When you are done you can color them in any shade you like. Just sketching out this object is going to be a blast. I will be back shortly with some cool summer stuff that I think you might like. Peace peeps, and happy drawing!

Toumaz forms wireless spinout
Keywords:wireless spinout? wireless connectivity? multistandard connectivity chip?
Imagination Technologies Group plc is one of the investors of Toumaz's newly formed wireless semiconductor subsidiary, Toumaz Microsystems. Toumaz said Imagination is investing around $7.8 million (5 million pounds) in the venture in the form of cash, hardware and software technologies and supportive engineering sources. In exchange, Imagination will own 25 percent of Toumaz Microsystems, with Toumaz owning the remaining 75 percent.
According to Toumaz, its board of directors created the spinout in order to strengthen the focus of the company's healthcare and semiconductor divisions. Toumaz U.K. will cover health technology and solutions, while Toumaz Microsystems will provide ICs for low power wireless communication, Toumaz said. Both companies will be subsidiaries of Toumaz Ltd.
Toumaz Microsystems will focus on the design, development and sale of semiconductor chips and solutions for the embedded wireless connectivity market addressing the opportunities in a wide range of internet connected devices, Toumaz said. These include home and enterprise automation, healthcare, smart power, security/monitoring systems, intelligent toys and other connectivity-centric cloud-enabled systems, the firm said.
Toumaz said it has already moved its silicon IC design team and related assets to the subsidiary. Toumaz's chip businesses and the group's ultra-low power radio IP and licenses of further IP will be transferred to Toumaz Microsystems, the company said. The subsidiary will focus on developing a new multistandard connectivity chip, an ultra-low power radio receiver and transmitter chip incorporating the new IEEE standard 802.15.6 and other relevant standards, the firm said. It will be one of the first chips to be based on this new standard and will specifically target Body Area Networks and a range of low-power domestic consumer wireless sensor applications.
The board of Toumaz Microsystems will consist of two members from Toumaz and one from Imagination, Toumaz said. Prof. Chris Toumazou, CEO of Toumaz, will become the chairman of Toumaz Microsystems, the firm said.
"Establishing Toumaz Microsystems is the next logical step for us, building a subsidiary for our radio IC chip development with investment and support from a strategic partner, Imagination," Toumazou said in a statement.

The Service Exchange—Fast and uncomplicated help from HEIDENHAIN when service is needed
Fast and uncomplicated help from HEIDENHAIN when service is needed.
It's a nightmare for any manufacturing company, but it happens again and again—a machine goes down. In many cases, the cause is the failure of an assembly or a device in the machine, and the repair cost is moderate. But these repair costs are multiplied by incomparably more serious factors like loss of production, shipping delays, personnel costs, logistical trouble, and much more. This all finally results in painful losses, and the longer production is blocked, the heavier the loss. The old saying, "Time is money," is never so true for those affected as in this situation.
No matter how much quality control or machine maintenance you plan in, you'll never be able to rule out the possibility of machine downtime. You can only set the goal of keeping its consequences as small as possible. In such incidents, time is of the essence. And time is exactly what HEIDENHAIN Service offers with its special exchange service for very many components.
In a service emergency, all you need is a call to HEIDENHAIN. An exchange unit is then shipped to you immediately and free of charge. For customers inside Europe, the unit frequently arrives within 24 hours and production can roll again. So you get help definitely and without any red tape.
Send your defective unit to HEIDENHAIN within four weeks of his call. Here it will be repaired, and you will be billed only for the repair costs actually incurred. In return for the delivered exchange unit, which you keep, HEIDENHAIN gains ownership of the repaired unit for use as an exchange unit in further such service incidents. Not only is the customer helped quickly and simply, thanks to HEIDENHAIN Service Exchange the repair costs are reasonable and easily calculated.
Your benefits
- Short down times
- Immediate delivery of a replacement
- High degree of availability of service units in the exchange stock

Gemcitabine for Injection by Novopharm Ltd.
How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Gemcitabine belongs to the group of cancer-fighting medications known as antineoplastics, and specifically to the group of antineoplastics known as antimetabolites. Gemcitabine fights cancer by preventing the growth of cancer cells, which eventually results in their destruction. It is used to treat certain types of lung cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, and cancer of the pancreas.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than the ones listed in these drug information articles.

If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are receiving this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop receiving this medication without consulting your doctor.
How should I use this medication?
Gemcitabine is available as an intravenous (into the vein) injection. It is usually injected through a specially prepared site on the skin. The recommended dose varies according to body size. Gemcitabine is usually given once a week by an intravenous infusion that usually takes about 30 minutes. Initially, it may be given weekly for up to 7 weeks followed by a 1-week rest period. After the first cycle of treatment, intravenous infusions are given weekly for 3 weeks followed by a rest period of 1 week.
Many things can affect the schedule and dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. Very careful handling of this medication is required. It is always administered in a hospital or similar setting, where there is access to sterile equipment for preparation.
As well as interfering with the genetic material DNA of cancer cells, gemcitabine can interfere with some of your normal cells. This may cause a number of side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Keep track of any side effects and report them to your doctor as suggested in the section, "What side effects are possible with this medication?"

What form(s) does this medication come in?
Each vial of sterile lyophilized powder contains 200 mg or 1 g of gemcitabine (as the hydrochloride salt) ready for dilution with appropriate solution. Nonmedicinal ingredients: mannitol and sodium hydrochloride.
Who should NOT take this medication?
Gemcitabine should not be used by anyone who is allergic to gemcitabine or to any of the ingredients of the medication.

Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Blood clotting: This medication can reduce the number of platelet cells in the blood. Your doctor will monitor the number of platelets in your blood with regular blood tests while you are using this medication. Platelets help the blood to clot, and a shortage could make you bleed more easily. Tell your doctor of any signs that your blood is not clotting as quickly. Such symptoms may include black and tarry stools, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood in the urine, easy bruising, or cuts that won't stop bleeding.
Fever and flu-like symptoms: Gemcitabine can cause a fever and flu-like symptoms (chills, feeling unwell) that are not associated with an infection. Your doctor may prescribed acetaminophen to help treat this reaction.
Infection: As well as killing cancer cells, this medication can reduce the number of cells that fight infection in the body (white blood cells). Avoid contact with people who have contagious infections and tell your doctor if you begin to notice signs of an infection, such as fever or chills. Your doctor will monitor the number of white blood cells in your blood with regular blood tests while you are using this medication.
Kidney problems: Rarely, gemcitabine can cause a rapid breakdown of red blood cells that can be associated with kidney failure and may be fatal. Your doctor will monitor you for this while you are receiving this medication. People who have kidney problems should discuss with their doctor how this medication may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver problems: People with liver problems (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis, alcoholism, cancer in the liver) should discuss with their doctor how this medication may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Pregnancy: Gemcitabine should not be used during pregnancy. Effective birth control should be used while receiving this medication. Gemcitabine may harm the baby if used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if gemcitabine passes into breast milk. Women receiving gemcitabine should not breast-feed.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between gemcitabine and any of the following:
- acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)
- bleomycin
- denosumab
- echinacea
- leflunomide
- natalizumab
- other cancer medications
- pimecrolimus
- tacrolimus
- vaccines
- warfarin
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

I've been hemming and hawing about buying a netbook and would appreciate feedback on how well Bibleworks 8 works on it. I'm thinking about buying an Asus 1005PE that has an Atom N450 with 1 GB of ram along with the usual specs, including Windows 7 starter edition.
Anybody out there tried this? What do you think of the performance of BW8 on a Windows 7 netbook?

Presto Pasta Night Roundup #170
First in, is Giz of Equal Opportunity Kitchen who loves Rose Reisman - me too! and made this healthy version of Beefaroni that even kids will love.
I also noticed that she made another Rose Reisman dish - Layered Tortilla, Chickpea, Tomato & Cheese Lasagna and naturally had to share.
Abby of Eat The Right Stuff brings all the green of Spring & Summer to the table with this Lemon Basil Pasta & Summer Veggies from The Modern Vegetarian: which , even the carnivore in me will appreciate. The book is now officially on my wish list ;-D.
Vicki of A Work in Progress made Fried Rice Vermicelli with Pickled Mustard Greens. I love how she switched things up a bit...a terrific lesson for all those new cooks out there who are afraid to take a leap of culinary faith.
Tigerfish of Teczcape is back with a beautiful dish of Bell Peppers, Bok Choy & (the cutest) Mushrooms Pasta. I do love it when cultures intermarry.
Bergamot of Cooking Escapes brings a fresh take to traditional basil pesto with this Tagliatelle with Basil Pesto, Olives & Jalapeno Peppers.
Kirsten of From Kirsten's Kitchen to Yours, and a recent PPN host, shared this over the top, Bacon, Kale & BLue Cheese Pasta al Forno.
Ching of This Little Corner of Mine is back with a very interesting presentation for her Minced Meat & Noodles. And even if you go the traditional route of placing your sauce over the noodles, I know it will taste wonderful.
Little Inbox of Eating Pleasure was under the weather when she whipped up this Alfredo Portobello & Spaghetti. It's obvious she wasn't herself because even with 4 cloves of garlic, she found it bland! Hope you're all better by now.
Katerina of Culinary Flavors brings a whole new meaning to Quick & Easy Lasagna - I'll let you all be surprised at the ingredients.
Cool Lassie of Pan Gravy Kadai Curry presents us with a Greek dish that we might not be able to pronounce, but will definitely want to eat! SoudZoukakia - see what I mean?
Joanne of Eats Well With Others always shares great pasta, stunning photos and a chuckle or two. This time her Roasted Green Bean & Fennel Pasta looks great in every photo...it was hard to choose which one to share. As for the story...well which camp to you fall into..."shake it off dancing" or screaming with everything you've got?
Kristin of Holy Cannoli Recipes shares this stunning Ravioli with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce that has me licking the screen and craving a forkful.
Kait of Pots & Plots put two of my favorite ingredients in her Chorizo & Manchego Mac 'n Cheese. What a winning combo!
I seem to go from no pasta weeks to ones like this one with two to share with you. I used multigrain farfalle for this stunning Lemon, Garlic, Parsley & Parmesan Pasta. I served it as a side with some tasty Spiced Rubbed Skirt Steak, but it would have been awesome on its own or with some asparagus tossed in.
And I couldn't resist the name of this...Risi e Bisi Couscous, that tasted as joyful as it sounds - served here with some Pecan Breaded Haddock.
Whether your pasta is a side dish or a main, baked in the oven, cooked on the stove, hot or cold, please share with the rest of us. Next week Helen of Fuss Free Flavours is hosting, so send all your great dishes her way. Just write a post, mention Presto Pasta Night and Fuss Free Flavours with links, and email the link to helen (at) fussfreeflavours (dot) com and cc me: ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com.
I know it's just the beginning of July, but just to let you know that I still have a couple of spaces open for hosting in August - the 13th & 27th, plus the Fall is wide open. If you're interested...and it is a fun way to make new food blogger friends, just drop me a line. For now...just grab a fork and dig in! Happy July 4th & Canada Day weekend to my North American Friends.

(NVI), the leading independent value retailer of eyeglasses and contact lenses, and leading global investment firm KKR (NYSE: KKR) today announced that a definitive agreement has been signed whereby KKR will acquire the company from Berkshire Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. NVI, the fourth largest optical retailer in the U.S., operating over 750 retail locations in 43 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, is the fastest growing independent optical retailer and is one of the few retailers that is focused exclusively on the value segment of the industry. The company operates vision centers across the country, including America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses and Eyeglass World free-standing concepts and vision centers inside Walmart, Fred Meyer and on U.S. Military bases. NVI also sells its products direct to consumers through 25 consumer-facing websites, including ACLens.com and DiscountContactLenses.com. "We have had an absolutely marvelous eight-year relationship with Berkshire Partners and are so appreciative of all they have done to support our growth and help get us to where we are today," said Reade Fahs, CEO of NVI. "The NVI team is Reade Fahs, CEO, National Vision anticipating and looking forward to a very similar sort of relationship with KKR." Fahs added, to VMail, "We have come a long way. Berkshire Partners came into our company in 2005, at the same time acquiring America's Best and we have been able to expand our business in many important ways." Fahs, along with Bruce Steffey, president, Peter Clarkson, head of ACLens/digital and others on the NVI executive management team are planning to stay with the company under the new arrangement with KKR. This morning's statement also said that the management team of NVI is expected to remain a significant investor in the business. "NVI has a bright future ahead of it, and we are excited to partner with this proven management team on its next chapter of growth. Through its broad store base and leading e-commerce platform, the company is poised to benefit from the growth in this highly attractive value segment of the optical industry. As NVI continues to grow, we also look forward to supporting its important social mission," Nate Taylor, Member of KKR, said. Today, NVI employes over 7,000 employees. The company also operates a lab network with over 600 employees at two domestic locations in St. Cloud, Minn., and Lawrenceville, Ga., and two international locations in China and Mexico. NVI is dedicated to "serving the underserved" by providing eye health care and eyeglasses to those who otherwise would not have access to affordable vision improvement. NVI has been a strategic partner of VisionSpring, supporting its work to create sustainable business models to serve low-income individuals in El Salvador, India and Bangladesh. NVI also supports RestoringVision.org in its work to provide readers and sunglasses for distribution by American mission-goers abroad. KKR is making the investment from its North American XI private equity fund. The acquisition, which is expected to close by the end of the first quarter, is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Founded in 1976 and led by Henry Kravis and George Roberts, KKR is a leading global investment firm with $94.3 billion in assets under management as of Dec. 31, 2013. With offices around the world, KKR manages assets through a variety of investment funds and accounts covering multiple asset classes. KKR & Co. L.P. is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Barclays acted as lead financial advisor to NVI, with Wells Fargo as co-advisor. Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP acted as legal advisor to Berkshire Partners and NVI. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP acted as legal advisor to KKR.

Serious confession by your blogger: I am an enormous of fan of the 1977 Chuck Norris film, Breaker, Breaker, in which Mr. Norris takes on a corrupt town whose police and judge prey upon unsuspecting motorists passing through, by stopping them and demanding extortionate fees (and beating them up or imprisoning if they don't comply). In the stirring finale, Norris and some truckers burn the town to the ground.
So, in the battle against California cities that use cameras to catch and levy heavy fines on motorists who run red lights, new state legislation to be debated Wednesday seems modest. AB 1008 would ban automated traffic enforcement systems, including red light cameras.
Such legislation makes sense in one policy way. The cameras have been used by cities less as a safety device (there's little evidence that the cameras make the roads safer) than as a way to produce revenues. Fines of $400 are handed out when you're caught on camera passing a little too late through the light. And since motorists don't receive notices until weeks later, it may be hard for them to remember the moment and circumstances. (I once got such a notice in the city of West Hollywood, and paid the fine simply because I couldn't recollect enough about my driving that day to contest it).
U.S. & World
On the other hand, the state should be reluctant to tell local governments what to do, particularly in times like these. California's cities, counties and special districts deserve more freedom to govern themselves as they see fit. At a time when the state is cutting its budget (approximately 70 percent of which is money for local governments), cutting off a local government revenue stream feels heavy-handed.
This is one issue where it feels like a compromise is needed: legislation that prevents abuses by local governments without restricting their ability to police their streets (and find revenues).

Tuition at Arkansas Tech University will increase in the next school year, too. Tuition and fees for undergraduate students enrolled in 30 hours will cost $6,918 for the 2013-2014 academic year. That's up from $6,528.

I just happened to spot a random product when browsing a few weeks ago, called a 'Lip Paint' and from that point on I had to find out more about the brand…the range is called 3CE (3 Concept Eyes) from a Korean fashion brand called Style Nanda (similar to Urban Outfitters / American Apparel but less pervy).
I ended up doing a big haul from Korea – it will take me a little while to review everything but I thought I'd show you what I bought!
What appealed to me about the range it that it looked bold and fun, but quite elegant at the same time. Korean brands can sometimes be a bit wishy-washy, so I liked that 3CE was quite bold with it's looks and style.
I bought a mixture of products to try everything out – some primer, foundation, a cream 'nursing cream', eyeshadow, eyeliner, brow pencil, lip pigments and a highlighter.
What was your last exciting haul?
