HAMDEN, Conn. (WTNH)– A man and woman were arrested Wednesday afternoon after allegedly stealing Lego toy sets that were delivered to a Connecticut home.
Officers responded to the report of suspicious activity in Hamden after a passerby saw someone take a package delivered to a home.
Police located the suspect a short time late, and he was identified as 43-year-old Jack Humphrey of Hamden. Humphrey was a passenger inside a vehicle driven by 43-year-old Lisa Zielinkski, also of Hamden.
Police say officers seized three boxes of Lego from inside that car that had been taken from the home.
It was discovered that Humphrey also had walked onto a nearby front porch, which had several packages recently delivered. He then fled into Zielinkski's vehicle after a neighbor yelled at him, according to police.
Humphrey was arrested and charged with larceny, conspiracy to commit larceny and simple trespass. He is detained on $1,000 bond. Zielinkski was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit larceny and is also detained on $1,000 bond. They are scheduled to appear in court Jan. 4.

Low interest rates are giving many investors an added incentive to look at investing in property – either directly or through their SMSF. We look at some of the things you should look out for before you sign on that dotted line.
Australians have always had a love affair with property. But that affair could be about to get even steamier as historically-low interest rates reignite people's appetite for borrowing.
Here are some of the dos and don'ts of property investing:
Do – Define your goals
A 'successful' property investment depends on your goals. For example, are you looking for a high level of rental income? Or are you more interested in long-term capital gains? A clear strategy of what you are hoping to achieve can help you decide where to look, and what types of properties suit you best.
Don't – Over-borrow
When interest rates are low it's easy to fall into the trap of over-borrowing. But property is generally a long-term investment, and it's likely you will experience a range of interest rate scenarios over time – something your budget needs to cater for.
Do – Reassess your insurances
Increasing your level of debt is a good reason to reassess your life insurances. This particularly applies to death and total and permanent disability (TPD) cover, as one of the main goals of these insurances is to extinguish debt if you can no longer service it.
Do – Diversify
If you already own a home, putting of all your resources into property could leave you more exposed to a downturn in the property market. Make sure you discuss your diversification strategy with your financial adviser before you invest.
Don't – Invest for tax reasons alone
The lure of tax deductions can be a distraction when you're investing in property. But don't get too caught up in the tax savings to realise how much you're actually spending on things like stamp duty, legal costs, renovations etc. It may take many years of capital growth to recover those costs.
Do – Talk to your financial adviser
While property can be an important part of a diversified investment portfolio, you need to be careful about how you go about it. Ongoing advice from your financial adviser is essential to ensuring your property investment meets your long-term goals.
Since the rules allowing borrowing inside an SMSF were introduced in 2007, real property investment in SMSFs has grown to be worth $73.1 billion at or 14.7% of total assets invested SMSF assets of $496 billion . And this trend looks set to continue with low borrowing costs and dwindling returns from cash and fixed income investments.
If you're considering investing in property in your SMSF, talk to your financial adviser. There are strict rules around the types of properties and lending arrangements that are acceptable.
You also need to consider the SMSF's ability to meet current and future expenses, and potential liquidity issues that may arise from owning a large asset that could be slow or difficult to sell if you need to cash out a member's benefit.

OTR uses a combination of the AES symmetric-key algorithm, the Diffie–Hellman key exchange, and the SHA-1 hash function. In addition to authentication and encryption, OTR provides perfect forward secrecy and malleable encryption.
The primary motivation behind the protocol was providing deniability for the conversation participants while keeping conversations confidential, like a private conversation in real life, or off the record in journalism sourcing."

In addition to free movies at Tubi TV are free TV shows. The action TV shows are labeled Action Reality TV.

There are thousands upon thousands of videos on YouTube, along with movie trailers, TV shows, and even movies. Though because movies are not categorized by genre, you're unable to filter them to find just the action films.

Another source for free action films, along with several other genres, is MovieZoot. All of MovieZoot's action movies are on one page to make it really easy to scroll through and find something to watch.

WRRDA 2014 was so stuffed full of pet projects that of the 514 votes cast between the house and senate, only 11 dissented. It's not like the entire U.S. Congress took a hard look at the FMDA project and considered it worthy.
Not content with what they already have, Oxbow's lawyer stood up in Federal Court last month and argued that Oxbow is the victim. Apparently the federal injunction that stopped the construction on the ring dike is making it difficult for the private Oxbow Country Club to finish their golf course re-design.
Oxbow and Fargo have the same problem I like to refer to it as the Forrest Gump Syndrome. Stupid is, stupid does. Just let people build where there is danger of flooding and we'll deal with it later.
If the entire project is based upon theoretical assumptions, which the USACE openly admits, then the "Expert Opinion Elicitation" (EOE) which relies heavily on those theoretical assumptions is "likewise" no different.
This is a federal project designed to have federal participation, but the federal government has no money. The continuing budget resolution funding the government in Washington has had a ban on new project construction funding for the last four years, with no end in sight. If you read the letter to the White House from the Minnesota governor, you'll see he is requesting that no money or support be given to the diversion project, at least until the DNR is done with their study.
Impacts, damage costs and red-tape… Why should cemetery boards be obligated to volunteer more hours as a result of a land grab that represents the bigotry of the Fargo Diversion Authority agenda? These are vital issues that should have been addressed at the formulation of this project rather than an attempt to marginalize the sanctity of the burial sites after the fact.
The most disturbing implication of the statement "let the local authorities determine how to best use the funds" is the fact that by saying this, Heitkamp is giving up of her power as a U.S. senator to oversee the use of federal funds.

I had a wonderful time! The head massage with my shampoo was....WOW! I was hooked from the moment I nestled into the chair. My mood had shifted from glum when I walked in, to blissful.
I had a wonderful haircut that lasted me a lot longer than most cuts do(huge plus).
I found the place to be very comfortable...It's very small palce, packed with beautiful furniture up to date magazines(thank gosh). Smiles and piping hot cups of tea/coffee are always close by.
I would reccomend this place to anyone. Actually, I already have ;)
I went here becuase it's close to where I live - I don't ususally go to the same slaons very often. The place is a bit small and feels a bit cluttered, but the service was great. The owner, Sheila, cut my hair and did it in record time. She is very passionate about her business and about hair & beauty. She did an great job and i will probably go back.

I just feel so guiltyVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
Please help me romanceclass.
I'm 17 and I had been talking to this guy, (the first one I ever talked to like that), and he immediately was honest about how he felt about me and I stalled. I took some time and he sort of grew on me. And just when I had begun liking him more and more, I gave a different guy my number. Thats not the worst part. I started getting to know this guy and he's cool. And then I gave my number to another guy, (who I dont talk to anymore), and then another guy I met after prom (I didnt invite the first guy to prom for some reason) and started (and am still) talking to him. I dont know if the first guy has any idea and all I feel is guilt over knowing and willfully hurting him. I dont know what to do. Should I talk to him (we were never officially boyfriend and girlfriend,but I'm pretty sure he thinks we are)? If so, what should I say? Should I stop talking to the other guys? What if I hurt them too? I never meant to hurt anyone, but I did it anyway. I feel so, so terrible. Please give me advice...
Sorry its so long.

Title : The Effects of Command Position upon Evaluations of Leader Behavior.
Descriptive Note : Technical rept.,
Corporate Author : HUMAN RESOURCES RESEARCH ORGANIZATION ALEXANDRIA VA
Personal Author(s) : Lackey,L. L. ; Olmstead,Joseph A. ; Christensen,Harold E.
Report Date : NOV 1972
Pagination or Media Count : 30
Abstract : FICERS WHO HAD SERVED AS BATTALION COMMANDERS (Group I) and 22 who had served as company commanders (Group II) rated 36 leader actions on their desirability for battalion and for company commanders. Battalion commanders do not differentiate between the two command levels on the desirability of the leader actions. Company commanders differentiate about actions concerned with the centralization of authority and responsibility, and consider these to be more desirable for both command levels. Both groups rated positive motivation and emotional support as desirable and punitive or negatively motivating actions as slightly undesirable. The implications of the differences in expectations about leader behavior on effective organizational functioning, leadership doctrine, and training are discussed. (Author)

Did you know there were different species of orioles? We all know that there's a Baltimore Oriole - of the winged and baseball-playing varieties. There are also Puerto Rican, Hispaniolan and Bahama birds. And, believe it or not, a Cuban Oriole. They all used to be lumped into the same species, until elevated into individual statuses in 2010. The Cuban Oriole is endemic to the Caribbean island nation, and its habitats are tropical and subtropical forests, particularly those boasting mangrove trees. Apparently, orioles love their mangroves. Who knew?
There were once Cubans and Orioles in Baltimore, however, and there were no mango groves to be found. Some mojitos, yes. Protestors, definitely. Rowdy fans, the likes of which had never before been seen and heard in a Charm City baseball park, made the night of May 3, 1999 one to remember. Oh, and there was a body-slamming umpire whose actions won't soon be forgotten.
Several years of lobbying by O's owner Peter Angelos, and a more welcoming political climate in the late 1990s, helped get the groundbreaking home-and-home exhibition series between the Orioles and the Cuban national team off the ground. The first game of the baseball version of a soccer friendly took place in Havana's Estadio Latinoamericano on March 28, 1999, at the end of spring training. Harold Baines' 11th-inning single scored Will Clark with the decisive run, Charles Johnson socked a two-run homer and future major leaguer Jose Contreras pitched eight innings of two-hit relief with 10 strikeouts. More than 55,000 packed the ballpark, including commissioner Bud Selig, Angelos and Cuban leader Fidel Castro. After the game, the O's jetted back to Miami and resumed spring training in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The series concluded about five weeks later with the game at Camden Yards, which drew a raucous crowd of Cuban Americans who were thrilled at the rare opportunity to cheer for their homeland heroes. They rooted loudy - and then some, making the 56-minute rain delay at the beginning of the game a lot more tolerable. They brought musical instruments, tooting trumpets and banging drums throughout the game, their accompaniment reaching a crescendo at the appropriately exciting juncture of the game. They danced in the aisles of the upper deck, turning a baseball game into a cross between Mardi Gras and New Year's Eve. They hooted and hollered and seemed incapable of running out of energy. Longtime O's fans first marveled quietly at their Cuban counterparts' fervent passion. Then, some of them joined in (some, no doubt, fueled by a few too many mojitos, an addition to the libations available for purchase at the game).
The Cuban fans had a lot to cheer about. Their team knocked O's starter Scott Kamieniecki out in the second inning, and even though the O's rocked Contreras for a similar early exit, the Cubans won 12-6. Shortstop Danel Castro was 4-for-4, Omar Linares (considered the greatest player in the nation's history) reached base six times and designated hitter Andy Morales crushed a three-run homer. The O's - even Cal Ripken Jr., pictured above meeting with members of the Cuban team in postgame ceremonies - struggled against reliever Norge Luis Vera, who worked six shutout innings. Delino DeShields hit a three-run homer for the O's.
While there were choreographed protests outside the stadium before the contest, the most memorable political dissenter would have been the unfortunate anti-Castro protester who ran onto the field in the fifth inning. Just beyond second base, he was met by Cuban umpire Cesar Valdez, who thwarted him with a body slam that would have made Gorilla Monsoon proud. "Above all, I am Cuban," Valdez told reporters after the game. "I just thought it was the right way to do it."
Photos used in the Flashback feature come from the Orioles' photo archives. From time to time this season, we'll take a look back at interesting people, places and events in Baltimore baseball history through the camera lenses that captured them and lend a historical perspective to what's shown.

Nokia (NOK) has put in a bid to be the other cell phone maker besides Apple (AAPL) to make a profit and have control over its business.
Now if the company could just get its new phone, the E7, out the door.
The success of Apple's iPhone is built on the extraordinary power that controlling both he software and the hardware gives Apple. The company can make sure everything works together because it decides what gets on the platform and what doesn't. No lame pre-installed apps from cell phone service providers. No word processing software that works differently in different programs on the same phone. No graphics that just kind of work.
Nokia is aiming for the same business model.
In early November the company decided to take full and sole control of the Symbian operating system for smart phones. To a degree Nokia had no choice. Its partners in the Symbian Foundation, set up to oversee the software, Samsung and Sony-Ericsson had abandoned the platform for Google's Android. But Nokia decided that it would make the best of the hand it had been dealt: by taking over full control of the software, the company could customize the next version of the software for its next products and use it to develop a next generation operating system called MeeGo.
MeeGo is still scheduled to be introduced in 2011, but on December 14 Nokia announced that its new smart phone, designed to close some of the smart phone gap with not just Apple, but also Samsung and HTC, would miss the Christmas buying season completely. The phone wouldn't hit stores until early 2011.
The delay isn't a killer for either the E7 or for Nokia but it sure doesn't do anything to help the company to regain momentum in the market. (Nokia's last major smart phone, the N8, also hit the market late.) Nokia still owned 37% of the global smart phone market as of the end of the third quarter but that was down from 45% in the third quarter of 2009.
Smart phone sales rose by 96% in the third quarter of 2010 from a year earlier and accounted for 20% of the overall cell phone market. That overall market grew by 35% in the third quarter.
I think Nokia does have a future. (Which is why it remains in my Jubak Picks 50 portfolio http://jubakpicks.com/jubak-picks-50/ ) The company does know how to manufacture phones. They will eventually get the design right. And 37% of the smart phone market is something they can build on.
But I'd wait a bit yet on Nokia's shares. I know the stock is down 37% from the April 5 closing high but I think the arrival of the E7 in stores will unleash another round of negative press: The phone was late. It doesn't stack up. The Symbian operating system doesn't cut it. And on and on. The 52-week low is $8. I think there's a good chance you'll be able to get the stock for $8.50. And then even a recovery to $10.00 would represent an 18% gain.
Full disclosure: I don't own shares of any of the companies mentioned in this post in my personal portfolio. The mutual fund I manage, Jubak Global Equity Fund, may or may not now own positions in any stock mentioned in this post. The fund did not own shares of Nokia as of the end of November. For a full list of the stocks in the fund as of the end of November see the fund's portfolio at http://jubakfund.com/about-the-fund/holdings/

Beautiful sculptured flowers appear on this lovely shrub and flower through winter to April/May The green leaves gradually darken with age providing a glossy backdrop to the luminous flowers when they appear. For the rest of the year, they provide essential structure, which is invaluable during the winter months when many other plants have lost their leaves. A reasonably fast-growing plant with an upright habit it can be planted into a mixed or shrub border or used as a stand-alone specimen. An added advantage is that it can do well in a pot for those with a small space or very alkaline soil. (Camellias dislike alkaline soil.)
Position: partial shade (but not east-facing)
Soil: moist but well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil (or ericaceous compost for container-grown specimens)
Rate of growth: average.
Flowering period: Winter to May.
Hardiness: fully hardy
Award: AGM (Award of Garden Merit)
Garden care: Protect the emerging buds and flowers from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.

LED Market Continues to Grow Rapidly, Transitioning to Lighting Applications
Santa Clara, CALIF.,August 24, 2011As shown in the latest DisplaySearch Quarterly LED Supply/Demand Market Forecast Report, market indicators continue to predict a rise in LED usage across applications, with lighting leading the way in LED applications with a predicted increase of 20% over 2010. The total package revenue for backlight and lighting applications was $7.2 billion in 2010 and is forecast to reach $12.7 billion in 2014. A heightened demand for LED lighting applications is the main driver of this dramatic increase.
Fortunately, suppliers have taken note of these trends and have planned for increased capacity in the future. In 2011, DisplaySearch predicts global LED capacity will reach 180 billion units, and by 2013 will reach 227 billion.
While overall LED demand continues to rise, we are seeing demand taper off in LED backlights and begin to trend more in the direction of LED lighting, said Leo Liu, Senior Analyst at DisplaySearch. Due to high inventories and low sales for LED-backlit LCD TVs in Q410, Q111and early Q211, LED backlight demand dropped slightly; we expect it to pick up again and reach a maximum level in Q311 due to seasonal demand.
Currently, LED backlights are used in all small/medium LCDs, and LED backlight penetration in mobile PCs is nearly 100%. Penetration of LED backlights in LCD monitors and LCD TVs continues to grow, while the number of LED packages per set is decreasing. Total LED backlight demand will be 45.9 billion in 2011. Demand for LED-backlit LCD TVs has dominated the backlight supply since 2010, accounting for nearly 50% of the total backlight demand. LED demand from TVs will reach its maximum level in 2012, but then slightly drop after 2013 due to a decrease in LEDs per unit.
Figure 1: Changes in LED Applications Over Time
Source: DisplaySearch Quarterly LED Supply/Demand Market Forecast Report
Increasing Usage of LED Lighting
In terms of LED penetration in lighting applications, DisplaySearch found the total average LED penetration in lighting was 1.4% in 2010 and is forecast to reach 9.3% in 2014. There is high penetration in spot lights due to halogen replacements, and government policies are expected to accelerate LED penetration in street lights after 2011. Total LED lighting demand was 3.2 billion in Q211, and DisplaySearch predicts that demand will quickly increase to 3.4 billion in Q311.
Sales of LED street lights are increasing due to government support. China will be the biggest market for LED street lights in 2011 due to government policies. The countrys market share in 2011 is 55%, but will slightly decline to 50% in 2014. The share of LED street lights by area will not change very much from 2011 to 2014.
Figure 2: LED Lighting Penetration Forecast
Source: DisplaySearch Quarterly LED Supply/Demand Market Forecast Report
LED Lighting Forecast by Region
Japan is the biggest market for LED bulbs in 2011. The countrys market share is 63% in 2011, but is forecast to decline to 40% in 2014. Japan has high LED adoption in lighting due to electrical power limitations and energy-saving efforts. The country will remain the biggest lighting market until 2014. LED bulb growth in China, North America and Europe will be higher than other areas from 2011 to 2014.
Taiwan to Lead LED Supply After 2011
Korea was the top LED supply country in 2010. Taiwan will take over as the top LED supply country after 2011. The top three suppliers in Q2 11 based on 500x500 chip size were S-LED, LGIT, and Epistar.China is the wild card for LED supply, with a great deal of investment in LED production.
While market growth will be high over the next several years, LED suppliers without cost competitiveness and correct strategy will face big challenges. A surplus will intensify competition and lead to dramatic price drops in 2011, causing higher LED adoption rates in lighting.
The DisplaySearch Quarterly LED Supply/Demand Market Forecast Report analyzes supply and demand on a quarterly basis for the entire LED industry. From chip prices to LED maker roadmaps, this report gives a clear outlook and reliable forecast of LED supply/demand, along with an analysis of the impacts on pricing. Forecasts in this report include detailed backlight and lighting supply/demand, pricing cost structure, prices and more. This report is delivered in PowerPoint and includes Excel based data and tables. For more information on this report, please contact Charles Camaroto at 1.888.436.7673 or 1.516.625.2452, or email@example.com or contact your regional DisplaySearch office in China, Japan, Korea or Taiwan.

Colin Christopher, a clinical hypnotherapist and author of the book Success Through Manipulation: Subconscious Reactions That Will Make or Break You,says if you feel your love life has lost its luster, don't despair.
He says hypnosis and self-hypnosis is a game changer because it taps into the subconscious mind where all our thoughts, beliefs and emotions about love and romance are stored — so in other words, it can literally reprogram how we feel about these things and change the outcome.
Christopher says there are simple techniques anyone can do, and he calls it "The One Minute Love Potion." Check out the four techniques below. –joi pearson@JoiAPearson
1. Pour a drink and relax – Pour your favorite drink and take a few sips. Find a quiet place like your bedroom, lie down, take deep breathes in and out, and become very relaxed.
2. Seeing is believing – Get really clear of the qualities you want in your ideal mate. Write down what your ideal mate looks like physically, mentally and emotionally. Writing it down, seeing it on paper and reading it over and over again helps to ingrain it into the subconscious mind which acts like a magnet.
3. Say what you want – As you're picturing yourself with your perfect mate, recite verbal suggestions such as "I am a beautiful person who is worthy of meeting the man or woman of my dreams," "I deserve to be happy and in love," and "I can't wait to find my soul mate, start a family and spend many happy years together." The more you say it while you're seeing it, the more you will believe it and attract it.
4. Touch me tenderly – Adding a physical trigger brings it all together. As you're visualizing it and reciting it, rub your fingers together or tap yourself lightly on the arm. Next time you're out at a club or in a situation to meet Mr. Right, touch your fingers together to trigger the subconscious mind to attract your ideal mate.

Healthy Dog Treats
Most of us dog owners love to give our pets dog treats (and I'm sure they love it as well). Unfortunately, many of the commercial dog treats are quite high in calories as well as many of the table scraps that some owners give their dogs. This can result in overweight pets which is not good – see my post and video on checking weight levels of your dog.
Instead of relying on commercial treats or even having to take the labour to make your own, here's a really cheap source of very healthy dog treats I'm sure that many people never even thought of. In fact, it's almost free!
If you are like me, somebody who eats an apple a day or in some cases, a pear, here is something to consider. Most people who eat apples or pears simply throw out the cores when done.
Apple Cores A Source Of Healthy Dog Treats
Well, instead of tossing that apple core out right away, what I do is nibble on it more to extract some apple chunks. As you can see in the new video below, there is a surprising amount of extra chunks that you can get from an apple core. Just make sure that you don't include any seeds.
Ingestion of seeds can result in potential cyanide poisoning so please makes sure that no seeds are present in any apple chunks you give to your pets.
The same thing with pears. I always end up with a nice amount of pear chunks from the cores.
The fruit chunks themselves might not look much compared to a nice sized commercial dog biscuit but it doesn't matter to my Lhasa Apso dogs Chester and Roxie. They absolutely love these fruit chunks.
Our vet loves the idea as well since fruit like apples and pears have so few calories. My dogs are always eager to do some dog training drills which I reward them with these fruit chunks, usually at lunchtime during the day (since that's the time when I usually eat an apple or pear after lunch).
Healthy Dog Treats Become Dog Training Treats
So these fruit chunks become our dog training treats for the day. The chunks are healthy and I didn't pay any extra cost for them. It's like maximizing the use of an apple or pear. And the daily dog training drills keep my dogs Chester and Roxie sharp with their obedience and skills.
See our new video on this below.
For basic dog obedience, see our free dog training video.

Naya Rivera responds to Kim Kardashian drama with cheeky post
Uh-oh. Do we see a full-blown celebrity feud about to develop between Naya Rivera and Kim Kardashian?
By now, you will all be aware of that nude Kim Kardashian spread in Paper magazine, and buddy Jonathan Cheban's crazy rant at Naya Rivera for expressing her disapproval of the risqué photos.
We didn't expect Naya to take accusations of being a Kim copycat lying down, and she has expressed her feelings in an ever-so-subtle manner on her Instagram.
Taking to the photo blogging site, the former Glee star posted a picture of herself posing in what is clearly pretend shock.
The singer then captioned the photo with the hashtag 'Instagram got me in trouble'. Cheeky, Naya!
Naya was left unimpressed by Kim's latest photos, publicly slamming the move by writing underneath one of the shots: "I normally don't. But…you're someone's mother…"
Kim's wingman Jonathan Cheban then launched into an almighty rant against Naya, publically blasting her on his website.
"Naya has always been a step BEHIND .. After a year-long tour of impersonating Kim, she decided to come out of her shell and make a real statement about Kim's Paper cover," he wrote.
Will Naya's latest tongue-in-cheek post land her in more trouble?

Your Son is Not Broken, Stop Trying to Fix Him
"Mom, I'm not broken." That's what my son told me when he was younger. I was overly concerned with how he was not being social and he wanted to let me know that he didn't need me to fix him. He needed me to accept him. As much as you want your son to "be himself", there are times you don't accept him. I know there have been times when I've focused on how what's wrong with my son instead of being grateful for what's right with him.
Your son is not a DIY project or piece of equipment that requires professional servicing. As parents, sometimes our view of our sons are limited and narrow, that we focus on the areas that need improvement instead of looking at the whole child.
Yes, children need discipline and guidance but it shouldn't be our focal point. We see the minor imperfections and before you know it, we're embarking on a mission to fix what we think needs to be corrected. We look so closely at his weaknesses, that we neglect his strengths. Your son is not going to live his life exactly as you wish. He's going to take risks and make mistakes. Our job as a parent is to pick him up when he falls and lead him in the right direction.
Your son doesn't need you to point out his limitations, he needs you to guide him to make the right choices in life. He needs you to see his possibilities. He needs you to encourage him as he faces daily struggles, pressures and criticism from society. He needs your comfort and help. He needs you to have realistic expectations and allow for mistakes. He needs your reassurance that you believe in him and love him unconditionally.
Take some time today to see your son as capable and complete. I'm learning to do the same every day.

Is anything safe to eat? Why are there so many massive food recalls? Are food producing companies poisoning us? Is there anything we can do to provide our families with safe food? Over the last decade there have been several alarmingly large food recalls with hundreds or even thousands of cases of food born illness. Why is this happening all of a sudden?
The first thing I would like to say is that this is not a new phenomenon. In the early part of the 20th century, dinner diarrhea was the leading cause of death. It is assumed now that poor sanitation was the cause of that and medical technology could not keep people alive once they caught something that caused diarrhea. Have you ever heard or said yourself, "I must have had a stomach flu?" My understanding is that while influenza can cause intestinal symptoms, the short lived 24-48 hour illness that consists of fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps… is usually some form of food borne illness. That is to say that the pathogens that caused this illness were ingested with your food. These illnesses can range from relatively mild lasting a day or two to quite severe even causing death. Many or most food borne pathogens (disease causing organisms) can take from 4 hours to 72 hours to make you sick. This makes it very difficult to determine exactly what got you sick. Most people assume that it was the last thing they ate before they started having symptoms, but that is often not the case. Further, people often assume that meals consumed away from home are usually to blame to which I say often the food service workers are well trained and diligent with equipment that allows for the safe delivery of food where as the home cook has neither training or proper equipment. So let's talk about the recalls…
On one hand, the recalls make us feel that the whole food supply is unsafe which makes us feel very vulnerable. Another way of looking at it is that our food production system has identified a problem and alerted consumers of that problem. The FDA mandates that all food produced and packaged for human consumption be traceable all the way through the delivery system to retailers. Pretty impressive. The recalls are evidence that there is a system in place to keep dangerous food out of the supply chain. One might ask, "Why is dangerous food anywhere near the supply chain?"
In order to feed 300 million people in this country and over 6 billion people around the world, each company or farm that produces food does so on the scale of millions of units. The shear scale of this endeavor makes it more likely that any problem that appears will be a big one. Further, many of our farming practices encourage certain bacteria to grow, for example, feeding our cattle grain has allowed E. coli H0157 to prosper. When beef is recalled this is usually the reason (H0157). It can kill very young people, very old people, and people with weakened immune systems. The funny thing is that beef contaminated with this bacteria would be safe to eat if cooked fully (to temperature over 155°F). Chicken very often has salmonella in its digestive tract so when you crowd them into a limited space some of them will get infected. During processing if the viscera are ruptured the bacteria can contaminate everything being processed. This would not happen if chicken were slaughtered and processed at a time like in the old days, but that is no way to feed 300 million people. Once again cooking the chicken to 165°F makes it completely safe.
Produce is another commonly recalled product; peanuts; spinach; lettuce mix; spinach; tomatoes; jalapenos, and green onions just to name a few recent recalls. Very often the source of the contamination is water used in irrigation. Contaminated produce is possibly more of a threat to the public because so much of it is consumed raw. The only thing you can do with contaminated produce is cook it which does not make a nice salad. It would be nearly impossible to wash it sufficiently to remove bacteria. None the less, produce should always be washed to remove other contaminants. Refrigeration also helps to slow the growth of microorganisms. Holding all food products at the proper temperature helps to make all foods safe.
As I stated earlier, many cases of food borne illness are caused by cross contamination. One should assume that food animals are not safe unless cooked. Cross contamination occurs when a food item that does not get cooked comes in contact with a contaminated item. Thus contaminating it as well. For that reason it is wise to have separate cutting boards for vegetables and meat/poultry and to wash these items immediately after use. Air drying is preferred to towel drying so you don't contaminate the towel and spread harmful bacteria to everything you just washed.
The most obvious solution is to eliminate the contamination at its source. For meat and poultry that would mean feeding them their natural diet and exercising unheard of control in their processing and handling; produce would need certifiable water supplies since most bacterial contaminants come from irrigation water or cross contamination. And then every person that handles food, at home or professionally, needs to handle food properly. There is one more thing we can do to stay healthy. We must strengthen our immune systems.The human digestive system is designed to fight off invaders when functioning properly. To do this you must eat a healthy diet with sufficient nutrients and use probiotics. There are a lot of friendly bacteria that would love to populate our guts excluding pathogens and aiding in our digestion. Limit the use of antacids. Our stomachs have a low PH so that the acid will help to break apart the food we eat and coincidentally most pathogens hate an acid environment.
Too often it seems that the pursuit of cheap food has yielded exactly that: "cheap food" which is full of pesticides, pathogens and little or no nutritional value. We have fished many species of fish and shellfish nearly to extinction and still our main concern is that the price be low. We must be willing to pay for what we expect to receive. If we put forth thought, effort, oversight, and some common sense, we can produce enough food for everyone in the world. We must be willing to pay a fair price for it which may be more than we currently pay, but ultimately, we will be better off.

Matt | On 28, Oct 2013
I'm staring at the computer kinda confused on this Monday afternoon.
Former NBA star and 'Inside the NBA' host Shaquille O'Neal has publicly endorsed Chris Christie, a Republican, in his re-election bid for governor of New Jersey.
Here's why it confused me so much. First, I never knew that O'Neal was from New Jersey. A simple Google search cleared that up for me. He's originally from Newark, to be exact. Secondly, I never knew that Shaq was a Republican. But, then I did more searching and found that he endorsed President Obama in his 2012 re-election bid. I like the idea of not being tied to any one party, but it's just confusing to see Shaq in that position. You never really hear his name mentioned with politics.
Christie is a weird politician among today's crop of elected officials. He received very high marks for his handling of Hurricane Sandy and the efforts to work with President Obama and federal officials. That made him almost a national hero. But, he's still a Republican — meaning that on several other issues he tows much closer to the party line. I think people outside of New Jersey think higher of Christie than his own constituents. I attribute that to his almost-national celebrity status.
The point is I would have never seen this Christie endorsement coming from Shaq in a million years. It's just such a weird matchup…

If you're someone that suffers from dry skin like me, you seriously need this primer in your life!
When it comes to skin care I've always thought Nivea is one of the best brands. Well it always seems to work for my skin anyway! If I don't use some kind of moisturising primer before applying foundation, it looks terrible! I get lots of little dry patches on my face and it looks like i've put too much foundation on because it goes all cakey.. which isn't exactly the nicest look!
This Nivea Express Hydration Primer has been a life saver! I literally just apply a tiny bit all over my face before putting on any makeup and it absorbs straight into my skin. So even though it's moisturising, it's really not oily at all. It creates a super smooth base to apply foundation and It keeps my skin super moisturised at the same time. My foundation looks much more even and flawless and no more dry patches/cakey-ness! It also seems to stay on for a lot longer than usual which is really great because I always seem to have a problem with my makeup wearing off too quickly.
Have any of you tried this product?
Oh and (if you have dry skin?) what are your favourite products for dry skin?

NYT's Nocera Repeats Oil Industry Propaganda Against Drilling Moratorium
The New York Times' business columnist, Joe Nocera, writes an astonishing industry shilling piece on why the US Government should not impose a deepwater drilling moratorium. Nocera's arguments, which swallow the pro-industry federal court ruling whole, are either irrelevant or so deeply dishonest that they warrant a strong retraction from the Times' editors.
In this post, I listed a few of what I believe are compelling arguments why a deepwater drilling ban in the Gulf is fully justified, at least until we figure out how to drill safely, how to minimize the risks of another deepwater blowout catastrophe and develop far better techniques to contain and quickly recover the spillage from a blow out when it occurs. None of those problems has been solved, notwithstanding the argument that existing drilling rigs have been reinspected under current rules. It's the rules and solutions we don't have that are the problem. Thus, a strong case, if properly pleaded, should leave a reviewing court with more than enough support to uphold a conditioned moratorium.
That case would lay out the substantial health, environmental, and safety risks posed by the continued deepwater drilling, based on what we've learned from the BP oil disaster and its mostly unsuccessful control and recovery efforts. But it would also need to address the counter-arguments and the likely economic harm a moratorium would impose on affected companies and workers who rely on further drilling. A reviewing court would then determine whether the government had acted reasonably — or arbitrarily and capriciously — in striking that balance of interests.
Joe Nocera's Saturday column, Moratorium Won't Cut Risks of Deepwater Drilling, doesn't even acknowledge the powerful arguments that should compel a moratorium. His editors should have demanded a balanced rewrite there, but they didn't. Instead, Nocera accepts and repeats oil industry talking points, some of which are irrelevant to the case, some misleading or dishonest, and some so inimical to the public interest they should be summarily dismissed by a disinterested, fair-minded court.
Nocera begins with an intellectual slight of hand, mentioning the size of world oil production and the scope of Gulf oil production with the much smaller scope of new drilling, whose tiny proportion he neglects to mention:
As a percentage of the world's oil production — some 84.5 million barrels a day — the 1.75 million barrels a day that is extracted from the Gulf of Mexico is not a huge number. (That's why oil prices haven't risen as a result of the Deepwater Horizon disaster.) . . .
Uh, no; oil prices remain unaffected because nothing about an incomplete well or a moratorium on new drilling that may not affect production for years affects current supplies or likely production in the near future. He continues:
. . . But in terms of the country's domestic production, it is extremely important. According to Gibson Consulting, a third of all United States oil production comes from the Gulf of Mexico.
This argument is completely irrelevant. No one is proposing to disrupt any portion of the world's current oil production, nor even stop any current or near-term production in the Gulf. US supplies aren't affected yet. The moratorium is aimed at new drilling, not existing production at well's already drilled. As Rachel Maddow, whom Nocera disparages, reminds us, there are over 36,000 operating production wells in the Gulf, none of them affected by the moratorium, which affects only 33 new drilling efforts.
Nocera next adds this irrelevant point:
What's more, virtually every new well being drilled in the gulf is a deepwater well — because, after all, that's where the oil is. . . . And . . . 80 percent of the reserves that remain in the gulf are either in deep or ultra deepwater.
So? His next argument is that we can't shut down Gulf drilling because we absolutely have to have the oil, even though we don't.
So the first point is: Until that glorious day comes that our cars are fueled by batteries and our homes are heated by solar power, we need as much domestic oil as we can get our hands on, oil that exists in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Shutting down drilling in the gulf — even temporarily — means we'll be importing even more oil from other countries than we already do.
Never mind that Americans have shown repeatedly they can reduce their demand in response to prices. It's true that if the world stopped drilling new wells, eventually supplies would dwindle. But new wells rarely go into production immediately, so whatever effects there might be in theory from a six-month moratorium are likely years away if ever.
But suppose, as Nocera warns, the moratorium lasted longer than a few months. What that would mean is that the US Government had determined that after a six-month moratorium, it still had no assurance that the industry could conduct deepwater drilling safely, had adequate recovery measures to stop another deepwater blowout quickly before it caused massive damage, and/or still had inadequate resources and techniques to contain and cleanup damages of the magnitude we're now witnessing. He's suggesting we should have more unsafe drilling anyway.
Nocera's argument thus amounts to: "That's too bad, America. You have to risk that now plausible damage to the Gulf because the industry has convinced me I don't want to change anything I'm doing."
In fact, if the industry failed to devise safe enough drilling and/or containment/clean-up methods, the long-run effect could be to reduce world supplies and raise prices. Why, prices might even rise to levels we've seen in the past, which encouraged people to drive less. Of course, if all of the health/safety/environmental costs of oil dependency (only some of which have been exposed by the BP oil disaster) were included in oil prices, the same effect would occur. So Nocera is essentially arguing that we should continue to drill without limits and consume without paying the costs, because . . . well, because we just have to consume oil as though it didn't have these costs.
Next, Nocera says that if we hold up drilling here for a few months, the drillers will go elsewhere:
Meanwhile, there are only so many floating rigs in the world, and Brazil, for instance, has just embarked on a $200 billion drilling program. (You read that right: $200 billion.) It takes a month to move an idle rig from the Gulf of Mexico to Brazil, where it will likely stay for years. So a six-month moratorium would quite likely have far greater effect on American oil production that it would seem at first glance.
Yes, that probably would happen, assuming every other country ignored lessons from the BP disaster and did nothing to improve their own safety/environmental oversight. Nocera assumes other nations would do nothing to change their regulations.
We are not lessening the chance of a spill; we're just transferring that risk to Nigeria and Brazil. We are not helping the world. We are just saying, 'Brazil, we prefer to despoil your beaches, but not ours.' "
No, no one is saying that. Nocera just made that up. What the BP disaster is telling the world — not just the US — is that no deepwater drilling should continue anywhere unless and until the industy's now obvious laxity and deficient safety procedures are fixed, not just here, but in Brazil and the North Sea, and Nigeria. This is an industry-wide problem.
Finally, Nocera repeats the cynical industry talking point that since they've already decimated the Gulf fishing industry, they should be allowed to keep drilling more wells because those are the only jobs left. That's an argument for even more actions that put other jobs and businesses at risk, instead of forcing the industry that caused the economic damages to fix it's problems before starting more risks.
The logic of Nocera's column doesn't end with a six-month drilling moratorium. It's really an argument against almost any government regulation of any industry, not just deepwater oil drilling. In essence, he's arguing that government should never impose additional health, safety or environmental costs on industry, because that might drive them to other places, reduce supplies of their products, or affect employment by that industry. Those are the same arguments unsafe industries have been using for more than 100 years.
All those effects are possible, but Nocera's argument that we should not balance industry costs against any of the massive costs to the public of under-regulated industry actions is an argument for massive corporate looting and unfettered destruction of the planet. Some of us think there's already too much of that.

Comment html is being stripped
My web site has been upgraded to 2.8 recently from 2.7.1 and 2.6 before that. Anyhow, the comments have never worked correctly, or at least don't work the way I want them to.
You can't seem to use any html in the comments because it gets stripped out. So, for example, if I used an anchor tag the link is stripped out and all that shows is the link text.
Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do to fix it. If you have not experienced this but know of a possible solution please let me know, this is getting ridiculous and users should be able to posts links in comments, hell I should be able to post links in comments.
Don't know if this might help but even if I reply in the admin area the html is stripped out after I save.
