Skip to comments.Wild weather can send greenhouse gases spiralling (There's no increase in extreme weather events.)
Posted on 04/10/2013 10:13:38 PM PDT by neverdem
Researchers get to grips with effects of heat, drought and storms on carbon release.
Climate change has a disconcerting tendency to amplify itself through feedback effects. Melting sea ice exposes dark water, allowing the ocean to soak up more heat. Arctic warming speeds the release of carbon dioxide from permafrost. And, as researchers discussed at a meeting last week in Seefeld, Austria, climate extremes heatwaves, droughts and storms can hamper plant growth, weakening a major buffer against the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Heatwaves and droughts will very likely become more frequent in a warmer climate, and ecosystems will somehow respond, says Philippe Ciais, a carbon-cycle researcher at the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences in Gif-sur-Yvette, France. More storms will add an extra dimension to the problem.
The meeting was organized by the CARBO-Extreme project, a 3.3-million (US$4.5-million) collaboration of 27 groups from 12 countries, funded by the European Union. Attendees showed off an array of tools for uncovering how extreme events affect terrestrial carbon cycles, including numerical models, CO2 flux measurements and field experiments. The challenge now, says Ciais, is to predict how the frequency of climate extremes will change, and to model the intricate physiological responses some of which are poorly understood of plants and ecosystems.
Land plants create a huge carbon sink as they suck CO2 out of the air to build leaves, wood and roots. The sink varies from year to year, but on average it soaks up one-quarter of the annual CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. And events such as droughts, wildfires and storms are likely to cause a pronounced decline in the sink, says Markus Reichstein, a carbon-cycle scientist at the Max Planck...
So far, scientists have detected no increase in extreme weather events...

Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide - Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts? By Timothy Ball
No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)
Those two articles take Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.
Sky-high hole blown in AGW theory?
"Forbes reports on a peer-reviewed study that uses NASA data to show that the effects of carbon-based warming have been significantly exaggerated. In fact, much of the heat goes out into space rather than stay trapped in the atmosphere, an outcome that started long before AGW alarmists predicted:"
That article explains why no Hot Spot has been found.
The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory
Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics
Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'
It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming
Simple Chemistry and the Real Greenhouse Effect.
Those five articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.
Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud
That article kills any thought of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign of rising sea levels how could the planet be warming? The rise in sea level in the last 100 years is almost exactly the same as the average over the last 40,000 years caused by the inter-glacial period we are in.
Oops. You have spoken out of line. Off to the gulags. No soup for you.
What they're saying is "weather causes climate change"? Okay.
I hope that these so called "Researchers" are not "Cafeteria Climatologists," cherry picking data to support their preconceived notions that climate change (a reality) is man-made.
Climate change is caused by the Sun.
There has been no comprehensive systems analysis of all the factors involved in climate change on the Earth, Venus, and Mars.
Man made climate change does NOT cause asteroids.
Calling weather extreme simply hypes the weather channel and the AWG tax collection efforts. It's all in the marketing plan.
Whenever I hear "greenhouse" as regards the earth I laugh. Where's the glass globe blocking space?
As Reagan would say: "There you go again"..And here we go again with them mentioning CO2 even though the percentage of CO2 is zero point zero (0.04%) which has about as much of an effect on global warming as an ant fart.
Hoax hoax hoax! It's a hoax, folks.

Jeep Wrangler JK V6 Power AddersPosted in How To: Engine on July 1, 2011
We don't expect you to go digging into your '07-'11 Jeep's 3.8L to make major modifications like cam swaps or head porting. Heck, we've been told by Jeep engineers (as in the guys who actually build the engines) that the 3.8L isn't the most durable engine ever and it's best not to put major power-adders on it like superchargers or turbos. So, what's the owner of a 3.8L to do? Make the best of what you've got, of course. Keep your mods to the bolt-on and plug-in variety, and your 3.8L should serve your Wrangler a long, adequate, vanilla-flavored life.
1. Cold-Air Intake
Like any engine, ditching the restrictive factory air box and ducting and allow ing your engine a huge whack of colder, denser air will improve power and (usually) mileage. Cold air systems are available from a variety of manufactures like Banks, AEM, and K&N to name just a few.
2. Ignition
Again, Upping your spark power so you can open up tour plug gap will imporve low-end drivabillity and torque. Usually there's also bonus top-end power as well. For less than $190, Performance Distributors offers its Firepower kit for the jeep 3.8L, which includes a hotter coil and low-resistance, high-performance plug wires.
3. Electronic Throttle
the Sprint Booster plugs into your electronic throttle and essentially opens the throttle blades sooner for more power in the lower Rpms. The factory tailored throttle to open and close slowly to avoid harsh acceleration or deceleration, but the sprint booster offers three stages of throttle enhancement (stock, Stage 1, and Stage 2) to improve acceleration and drivabillity.
At first there weren't a lot of companies offering headers for the 3.8L engines, but now companies like Gibson, Borla, Rugged Ridge, and even Rusty's Off Road Products make 'em. Headers will improve exhaust scavenging, which improves low-end torque. Also, Their increased flow translates into Better high horsepower. It's said that the 3.8L headers are more susceptible to leaks than the factory manifolds, so beware.
Perhaps more than any Jeep model (besides diesel-powered), the 3.8L responds well to aftermarket ECU tuners. Some rewrite the ECU and some piggyback onto it, plugging into the OBDII port. Just a couple of companies to whet your appetite include Superchips, Diablo Sport, and Hypertech. Most claim gains of up to 21hp/30lb-ft, but we think that's optimistic. Still, there is performance and economy to be gained with their use.
6.After-Cat Exhaust
It's simple science; more air out means more air in. And more air means more fuel can be burned along with it. Besides, the factory JK muffler is always getting clunked on rocks and bashed. Several companies like Banks, MBRP, and more offer after-cat exhaust systems, so do some shopping and pick what fits your budget.

Last Man Standing got ABC's Friday off to a good start this week, rising 9 percent and two tenths to 6.2 million total viewers and a 1.4 demo rating.
Leading out of that, The Neighborsheld steady with 4.1 mil and a 1.0. But Shark Tank, come 9 o'clock, dipped 9 percent and two tenths to 6.3 mil/1.8 (yet still netted the night's best demo).
RELATED |Secret Life Lass Moves In With ABC's Neighbors
Over on CBS, Undercover Boss (7.6 mil/1.4) was down two tenths in the demo from its premiere. Hawaii Five-0 (9.6 mil/1.5) added a few eyeballs but ticked down a tenth from its own opener (lemme guess, Tim Daly wasn't really looking for his "daughter"?). Blue Bloods (11.1 mil/1.4) dropped three tenths but, as usual, commanded Friday's largest audience.
Fox's MasterChef Junior cooked up 3.9 mil and a 1.3 in Week 2, falling 9 percent…

Local Internet providers and an Internet service advocacy group are hoping to bring high-speed Internet access to more residents in rural areas of Western North Carolina.
Local Internet providers and an Internet service advocacy group are hoping to bring high-speed Internet access to more residents in rural areas of Western North Carolina.
Mountain Area Information Network provides a website for "Mapping Broadband in Western North Carolina," which runs speed tests and provides results to compare with the Federal Communications Commission broadband availability map, said Wally Bowen, executive director of MAIN.
The FCC estimates more than 48,000 residents in 16 Western North Carolina counties cannot get wired broadband service from an Internet provider because the providers have not expanded into those areas, Bowen said.
Typically the cable lines serve only the town proper and do not extend into less densely populated areas, he said.
"Based on our experiences, we believe the FCC is underestimating the scope of the problem," Bowen said.
Broadband is important in today's world, as it provides people with means for an education, job searches, running a business and managing medical and financial records, among others.
"It is a serious disadvantage without that," Bowen said.
MAIN serves as a platform for citizens to share their experiences with policymakers and elected officials to solve the rural broadband problem, Bowen said.
The website for "Mapping Broadband in WNC" is phase one of a project funded by a $10,000 Rural Digital Advocacy grant from the Rural Policy Action Partnership. The partnership includes the Institute for Emerging Issues at NC State, the Center for Rural Strategies, Network Impact Inc. and the Kellogg Foundation.
The project, launched Feb. 1, will also provide training for staff and volunteers on how to utilize digital mapping to help the public understand the issue regarding the lack of service in their area.
More information on "Mapping Broadband in WNC" project can be found at www.main.nc.us/bbmap/.
Meanwhile, Morris Broadband, a cable, digital phone and Internet provider providing service in Henderson, Jackson and Macon counties, continues to reach out to rural communities.
"It is an ongoing issue to expand our footprint for services and help the community gain higher bandwidth," said Tony Carter, general manager for Morris Broadband.
Through the company's fiber-optic infrastructure and partnering with other cable and Internet providers, Morris has expanded its reach to more rural businesses and communities in the region.
Morris provides residential download speeds of 10 megabytes and upload speeds of one megabyte, with the capability to offer customers additional variety of packages and speeds that can go as high as 100 megabytes.
There is still work to be done to reach out to more folks in rural areas, including parts of Henderson County.
"This is not just a quick glance," Carter said about Morris' efforts in researching the problem. "We are spending money, time and effort to have a full-scale business model to see if it is feasible to build in southern Henderson County."
He added, "If there is anything we can do to help service in these areas, we will," he said.

Visual Tour: Installing Sabayon
Welcome to the visual tour of CoreCDX.
CoreCDX is a very minimalistic cd that comes with the Fluxbox GUI. It's meant for advanced users that want to take full control of what they want to have installed. It comes ready to work with entropy or portage right out of the box, and Xorg installed and configured.
This is the first screen you are greeted with. I'm going to go a head and select the graphical installation and walk thru that. Console mode will give you a fully working command line interface and can be very handy for a rescue cd.
After making my selection I get to see the nice artwork.
Here we see some of the behind the scenes booting
Now we are back to the beautiful boot up splash
Now we are fully booted and ready to run the installer. Note that the password for root account is root. If you are in console mode, it's the same also.
The install process is a no brainer, pick the correct info and enter the correct info - very simple. Pick Your Language
Pick Your Keyboard Layout - Note: You can use the tab button to rotate around the options and the Space Bar can be use for selecting with * options.
Here you are gonna tell it to install Sabayon Linux
Select Ok
Now we come to the section of preparing the harddrive for install. You can either do a Auto or Manual Partition. The choice is up to you, for this I choose automatic.
Here I want to remove all my existing stuff. Make the choice that suits you.
My Warning Box and yes I am, so I click on OK
Here is what the AutoPartition has picked for me, I just simple have to hit Ok, pretty painless
On to setting up Grub, if you have an exising Grub, you can select no and just add the CoreCD entry to it.
If you need to make any changes to the Grub line entry, here is your chance.
If you want to add a password to your Grub, here is your chance
Pick the default Boot
Pick where you want to install Grub too
Setup your network, I'm good with DHCP
This is important, this sets your host name. So I pick manual and give it a unique name
Pick your timezone
Enter the password you want for your root account
Setup your User account
If you need to setup more user accounts, this is where you would do that.
Time to relax, you made it through the hard part.
I can sit back and watch what it is doing, right now it is setting up the partitions and formating.
Getting ready for actual install, might have a slight pause here, just let it do it's thing
Flying right along, install is short and painless
Woot! Super! Pat yourself on the back
Simply enter reboot and your computer will reboot to your Grub, don't forget to remove the cd on restart
As promised, Grub menu
Booting up your freshly installed Sabayon CoreCD
You are fully booted up, Congrat!
I suppose you are wondering what to do first. First you need to decide what package manager system you are going to use. I would recommend doing something like this, update the package managers first. Start with entropy:
# su # equo update && equo install entropy equo
Now we can do portage:
# emerge --sync && layman -S
It's vital to learn package manager - Please see:
Entropy and HOWTO: The Complete Portage Guide.
Remember this release is based on branch 4 and at this point and time we are in the process of getting Branch 5 out to the public. So you may need to do an equo hop 5 to get to Branch 5 pending on when you actually downloaded this and if Branch 5 is up and running. I just mention this so you can keep it in your mind. You can certainly use Branch 4 for now to get stuff installed and worry about Branch 5 later. To get to Branch 5
# equo hop 5 && equo update && equo install entropy equo && equo world
Some notes about emerge -uDN world - there is a couple issues as of right now. This is due to Portage being a head of Sabayon, so be prepared to work out a couple issues with this. With the default Sabayon Linux config files I ran into:
1. a circular dependency with libsndfile and jack-audio-connection-kit:
# USE="-jack" emerge libsndfile
2. a couple of blocks:
# emerge -C virtual/perl-Compress-Zlib virtual/perl-IO-Compress-Base virtual/perl-IO-Compress-Zlib perl-core/IO-Compress-Zlib perl-core/IO-Compress-Base perl-core/Compress-Zlib # emerge -uaDN world
Now of course the proper thing to do is to setup your config files, rebuild all packages and than build your system. This will save you from conflicts with portage. The better you can config your files, the easier time you will have.
3. Also note that you will end up upgrading python as you use portage, so when done updating, don't forget to run:
# python-updater
4. More than likely you are gonna need the kernel sources for stuffs
# uname -r
to find your kernel version, than specify the version when u do install
# equo install linux-sabayon
# emerge sabayon-sources
so for example if my uname -r shows .29 kernel
# equo install sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-2.6.29#2.6.29-sabayon
# emerge =sabayon-sources-2.6.29
Feel free to upgrade your kernel if there is a newer one, just don't forget to build it and reinstall your modules
We hope you enjoy this very minimal cd version.

Heart invitations
Here's a custom wedding invitation I made recently for a couple in San Francisco. Donna and Matt had a red and purple color palette and a heart theme carried throughout the wedding. The bride wore these awesome Vivienne Westwood heels with hearts on them (like in this lovely Once Wed photo shoot), and their dinner reception was held in a red velvet room.
Each invitation set included an accordion-fold heart die-cut card, an RSVP postcard and a paper band to hold the pieces together. Envelopes had custom mailing labels addressed to each guest.
The couple loves Polaroid pictures and had a Polaroid photo booth at their wedding. I incorporated it onto their response cards, and guests could write them a note or draw a picture in the blank space.
View entire set of photos here.

It's finals week and I'm overloaded. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could code this for me. Shouldn't be too hard for someone with experience (something I don't have).
This program will allow you to select Powerball numbers. For the first 5 numbers you
will be requested to enter a number that is greater than zero and less than or equal
to 59. However, theres a catch! Each number must be different.
When any of the first five numbers is less than 0 or greater or equal to 59 the user will receive a message to this effect and will be asked to re-enter the number. You will create a code that will display one message when a number less than 1 is entered and a different message if a number greater than 59 is entered.
If the number is the same as any number entered before it (with the exception of the powerball number) the user will receive a message to the effect asking to re-enter the number. This is the same for the 2nd through 5th numbers
When entering the powerball number, if the number entered IS NOT between 0
and 39 then the user will receive a message to this effect and asked to reenter the
number. One message will display if the number is less than 1, and a different if
the number is greater than 39.
The following MUST be included in the program:
You must have multiple classes. One that contains the accessor and mutator
methods, a readInput() method and a writeOutput() method. You will not
use the mutator methods but include them anyway to show that you know
how to write them. Name this first program Powerball.java.
The second program is to be named PowerballTest.java and will be
responsible for creating a Powerball object and calling the writeOutput() and
readInput() methods from the Powerball class.
Submit both the following programs in zip format. You will not be asked to
resubmit if you forget to include one of the files in your submission. Points will
simply be deducted accordingly.
I just need the 2 .java file codes. I will turn them in to .class myself.

Well it's that time of the year again, and time to honor those who are and who have fought for our countries freedom. Canada isn't exactly thought of as one of those to be feared in this modern world. I mean we aren't as likely to show up on some others counties soil or water way trying to enforce our will on them. However Canadians have always held their own and then some in times of war. The American's learned early on that we were not going to simply roll over and become part of their nation. In the War of 1812 Brock, Tecumseh and many fine men helped lay a foundation for a nation. In WWI, Canadians troops were often called in to move on enemy positions that were proving difficult to take. Does any one remember Vimy Ridge? In WWII Canadian troops fought alongside the Allies to secure Europe and the world from Hitler. Storming the beach at Juno more lives were lost then were able to push on. Today in Afghanistan troops seek to help that country reform and protect them from the Taliban forces. The United Nations Peace Keeping Force has always had a strong Canadian representation among it's troops.
If you have followed my blog over this first year, then you know of my great grandfather Dennie. He lied with his mothers approval to join the army in WWI. He luckily for us anyway didn't make it over to see battle. He joined, was trained and shipped over to Britain to finish training and the war ended. I believe all he ended up doing was helping with the clean up and organizing of equipment to ship back. Still he didn't know that he wouldn't make it to the front lines and at age 16 was on a boat headed to war. If you haven't followed my blog, scan back through. I even have his war record posted. I ordered it from the Canadian Archives. Also you may run across another story of my great grandfathers friend (who I called Uncle George), George Fraser. Who was an WWII army driver and drove the then Princess Elizabeth and her husband during their tour of Canada. He foiled an attempt to get at her while driving the highways of Ontario. These are just two of the specific men in my family tree that I think about during this time of the year. However I never forget that there are and have been so many more. So say thanks to a vet this Remembrance Day and always "Remember When ....." others fought and even died for us, to continue to enjoy the freedoms we have.
* I have updated all the previous records about this bit of family lore. Great Grandpa Dennie did join up at the proper age of 18. I have found and corrected the family genealogy and updated it with the correct lineage and facts. Updated Dec 12, 2016 by the blog author - John Goodwin.*

A food allergy is when your immune system has a bad reaction to a certain food. This is different from a food intolerance, which does not affect the immune system. This is true even though some of the same signs may be present.
Your body's immune system fights off infections and other dangers to keep you healthy. When your immune system senses that a food or something in a food is a "danger" to your health, you have a food allergy reaction. Your immune system sends out immunoglobulin E or IgE antibodies. These react to the food or substance in the food. Your body releases histamines. This can cause hives, asthma, itching in the mouth, trouble breathing, stomach pains, vomiting, or diarrhea. It does not take much of the food to cause a severe reaction in highly allergic people.
Most food allergies are caused by these foods:
Allergic symptoms may begin within minutes to an hour after eating the food. Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each person. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of a food allergy may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction. It is life-threatening. Symptoms can include:
Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency. Call 911 to get help right away. Severe allergic reactions are treated with epinephrine. You should carry an emergency kit with self-injecting epinephrine.
If you think you have a food allergy, see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis. He or she will take your medical history and do a physical exam. The healthcare provider will do skin or blood tests or both to find out the exact diagnosis. These tests may include:
At this time, no medicine is available to prevent food allergy. The goal of treatment is to stay away from the food that causes the symptoms.
If you have a food allergy, you should carry with you and know how to give yourself an epinephrine shot to treat emergency reactions. You must be ready to treat any allergic reaction caused by accidentally eating a food you are sensitive to. You need an emergency kit to stop severe reactions. Talk with your healthcare provider about what to do with the kit.
Medicines are available to treat some symptoms of food allergy after the food has been eaten. These medicines may ease nose and sinus symptoms, digestive symptoms, or asthma symptoms.
Right now, no allergy shot treatment is approved to treat food allergies. But research is ongoing. Strictly staying away from the allergy-causing food is the only way to prevent a reaction.
If you have one or more food allergies, dining out can be a challenge. However, it is possible to have a healthy and satisfying dining-out experience. It just means that you may have to plan ahead when you eat out.
Another tip for dining out is to carry a food allergy card. You can give it your server or the manager before you order food. A food allergy card contains information about the specific items you are allergic to. It also has additional information such as a reminder to make sure all utensils and equipment used to prepare your meal are thoroughly cleaned before use. You can easily print these cards yourself using a computer and printer.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:

Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has taken some criticism for his play on the Colts' game winning touchdown in Detroit on Sunday, but Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham says he doesn't know where that criticism is coming from.
Asked about a story in which an anonymous Lions coach is quoted as saying that Suh got out of position on the play and allowed Colts quarterback Andrew Luck to step up in the pocket and complete his pass, Cunningham said that is not correct. Instead, Cunningham said, it was a coverage breakdown allowing Colts receiver Donnie Avery to get open in the middle of the field that deserves to be blamed.
"One guy fell down and the nickel did a poor job and never saw it," Cunningham said. "It was a good coverage and we misplayed it, and what a time to misplay something."
Cunningham's claim that "it was a good coverage" may be self serving, but from my own look at the tape, I don't think blaming Suh makes sense. Suh did his best to fight through the double team on the play, while none of his three fellow defensive linemen won their one-on-one battles, and the seven Lions who dropped into coverage left Avery open. (Cunningham wouldn't name the nickel who did a poor job, but he must have been referring to Jacob Lacey.)
Cunningham also said he wasn't crazy about hearing anonymous quotes.
"Boy, anonymous gets around, doesn't he?" Cunningham said. "All I care about is Ndamukong and our football team and everybody's good. The thing about it is this time of the year, all kinds of things are said and done and we're trying to win a game and I know where his head is and mine and defensive players. We've got a job to do and that's what we're going to do."
A lot of Lions haven't done their jobs this season. But Suh's performance against the Colts on Sunday was the least of the Lions' problems.

Resting beneath layers of beautiful bedding, hidden from the eye, the ingredient to safe and sound slumber - the mattress! It's usually an afterthought, but the mattress that your baby sleeps on—whether in her crib, cradle or bassinet—is an important part of the nursery. Not only can it determine the quality of sleep your baby gets, but it can potentially pose safety concerns if it's not chosen well. Firm, well-fitting mattresses are the key to a happy, healthy baby.
Aren't all baby mattresses the same?
Just like with adult mattresses, there are many different styles and types of mattresses for babies. The big difference is what the mattress is made of, either foam or innersprings. One of the best ways to ensure your baby's safety is to pick a firm mattress, and there are methods for selecting a firm mattress in both materials. With foam, it's tempting to choose a thick mattress, but you need to look for density instead. A density of 1.5 pounds per cubic foot is a good bet. When looking for a mattress, especially a round mattress, make sure it's not flimsy; look for five inches of high-density foam. When purchasing an innerspring mattress for a full-size crib, consider one with at least 150 coils.
When selecting crib mattresses, look for ones that are fire retardant, waterproof, and have sealed seams. Always look for a reputable manufacturer to be sure the inside is the quality you expect. It's good if your baby crib mattress is non-allergenic or antimicrobial and is vented so unpleasant smells don't stay in the mattress. Organic crib mattresses are becoming a popular choice with parents who want to avoid pesticides and chemicals.
Bassinet and Cradle
Similarly, when shopping for cradle mattresses and bassinet mattresses, safety features such as flame resistance should be top priority. A baby cradle mattress or bassinet mattress should be available in multiple sizes to assure a good fit for your furniture. More parents are going with a natural baby cradle mattress or organic bassinet mattress for health reasons. Look for a latex bassinet mattress if you're concerned about environmental sustainability.
Changing Table
When it comes to changing table pads, shape is the key to safety. For traditional changing tables with rail guards, you can choose a flat or contoured pad. But for dresser-style changing tables, look for a contoured or four-sided pad.
How do I know what size mattress I need?
Traditional, four-sided cribs typically come in a standard size of 28 x 52 inches, which make crib mattress selection easy and safe. Round mattresses also come in standard sizes. And with round cribs becoming more popular, it's easier than you think to find cheap round crib mattresses. Whether you go high end or budget, consider a round crib mattress with two different levels of support (one on each side) for maximum convenience.
Whether you're measuring a crib, bassinet or cradle, the same safety measure applies; no more than one adult finger should fit between the mattress and bed. When determining what size mattress you need, measure the interior length and width (or diameter for round structures) of the crib, bassinet or cradle first. Then measure the height so you can choose a mattress thickness that is suitable for your baby. Depending on the crib/cradle/bassinet design, you may be able to decide whether you'd like square or slightly rounded corners. Remember that square corners are the best way to ensure a tight fit for most baby furniture.
I can't find the mattress size I need in stores
That's a common problem if you have an antique or heirloom cradle. The solution is to have your cradle mattress custom-made. Custom mattresses also work well if your crib is handmade or a special order. When purchasing a custom mattress, make sure you can tailor your order when it comes to height, length, and width. With your custom foam mattress, which is the most widely available, look for the same fire retardant foam with vinyl covering as you would in traditional foam mattresses. It's especially important that you measure correctly when ordering a custom size mattress—you probably won't be able to send it back! Also, make sure you can purchase custom sheets and bumpers in the same place if you are dealing with custom sizes.
What enhancements might be good for the mattress?
Mattress ProtectorsMattress pads protect your mattress, improve comfort and back support, and help your baby get a better night's sleep. Mattress pads often offer a degree of allergy relief because they use hypoallergenic materials that naturally resist dust mites and bacteria. If you have a custom cradle, you'll need a custom baby cradle mattress pad. Cradle mattress pad covers, as well as bassinet pads, ensure that leaks stay on the pad and not on the mattress.
Mattress TopperFor your baby's comfort, you'll probably want to purchase mattress toppers for your crib, cradle and bassinet. A memory foam mattress topper offers your little one great support. They are lightweight but are usually not breathable, so they may raise your child's body temperature at night. Look for one with an optional zippered encasement to protect the pad. As with everything else, make sure it's fire retardant and non-allergenic.
The Bottom Line
Whether you need a mattress for a crib, bassinet or cradle, keeping your child safe means choosing a firm, good-fitting mattress. Custom-made mattresses are a great way to make an heirloom cradle usable or to fit a special order piece of baby furniture.

Much like almost every other vehicle the automaker has developed, the Porsche Cayman flaunts an attractive design and offers amazing precision mechanics, as well as excellent handling and driving capabilities.
The Porsche name has always been linked to fine, exotic cars. It seems that as long as there has been an automotive industry, Porsche has led the way in luxurious, well-built cars. The true beginnings of the company are less glamorous than the appearance. The founder of Porsche, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, actually spent most of his life working for other auto manufacturers. He could claim Daimler, Volkswagen, and Mercedes on his resume before he began work on his own line of vehicles. During his father's incarceration for war crimes following World War II, Porsche began to design race cars, as well as the first sports car, to keep the family company going.
The first notable car to come out of the imagination of Ferdinand Porsche and the company was the 365. This car marks a revolutionary change for automakers. When the 365 began to win car races and make a name for the business, Porsche knew it had a hit. The company's design and engineering genius continued with the introduction of the 911 model, and Porsche has been going strong since. The company did hit a rough patch financially in the early 1990s, but thanks to strong leadership the company staved off sale.
Porsche added the Cayman and other models to its lineup over the years with a great deal of success.
Since the beginning of the company, the first thing just about everyone thinks of when considering Porsche is quality. The Cayman line of cars lives up to that reputation. The Cayman boasts a unique start. Porsche fans asked for a hardtop version of the second generation Boxster. The carmaker answered with the Cayman. Since the car's introduction in the 2006 model year, it has impressed consumers, Porsche fans, and auto industry leaders.
These cars have an incredibly well-balanced chassis, adding to the safety of the vehicle, a necessary concern with the amount of power under the hood. The well-designed brake system offers a great deal of security and fast response for the driver.
For the 2012 model year, Porsche has once again chosen to offer the Cayman. This two-seat coupe has gained a great deal of popularity since its introduction in 2006. Unlike that year, the Cayman now comes in three distinct trim levels that offer the consumer a great deal of options. The base S, the S Black edition, and the R trim levels aim to meet the needs of every Porsche buyer.
As usual, Porsche meets and exceeds expectations with the mechanics and precision capabilities of this car. Interested buyers will find it equipped with a 2.9-liter, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine coupled with a six-speed manual transmission. The Cayman also offers an optional seven-speed automated dual clutch manual transmission. All of the Cayman cars have rear drive.
Naturally, with such amazing abilities under the hood, the Cayman features an equally impressive cabin. The cabin uses materials of the best quality. The plush seats provide a comfortable ride, and while the Cayman offers little space, the two-seat coupe includes every luxury Porsche can fit into it.
As noted, the Porsche Cayman debuted in the 2006 model year. At that time, the company chose to offer only one trim level. This car bears the name Cayman S. It comes equipped with a 3.4-liter, boxer six-cylinder engine capable of 295 hp and 201 lb-ft of torque. To go along with the powerful six-cylinder motor, Porsche adds a five-gear manual transmission system, though buyers have the option of a five-speed automatic transmission with a manual control feature. The U.S market receives this car well, and it makes quite an impression in its class.
Later models of the Porsche Cayman feature more trim levels and minor changes to the options and features. Before Porsche chose to update the car's design and features in 2009, the Cayman lacked some of the options many buyers expected. From 2006 to 2008, the car did not include a heated steering wheel, satellite radio, or iPod interface features.
Overall, any model of the Porsche Cayman is a good choice for a used car. Like the new models, these cars don't come cheap, and buyers can expect to spend a large amount even on the used models.

The 2012 Porsche Cayman lineup adds the limited Black Edition model to its lineup. Similar to the Porsche Boxster Black Edition, the Cayman Black Edition features black accents and trim, color, wheels, and an exclusive steering wheel.
2011 Porsche Cayman
The 2011 Porsche Cayman has none of the typical flashiness of other Porsche automobiles but it does promise to deliver the purest, finest driving experience.
2010 Porsche Cayman
For the 2010 model year, Porsche limited the changes to a new steering-wheel design. Clearly, it's hard to mess with near-perfection. Yet in the quest for that absolute, Porsche will be treating the Cayman to a thorough update for the 2011 model year. So stay tuned. Or keep your eyes out for great deals on the current car.

This mother of two was the first woman swimmer to win back-to-back Olympic titles at the 1988 and 1992 games, and is now giving it another go after 15 years of retirement. Here, she talks about balancing swimming with parenthood, how her children inspire her, and tells us which is harder: Olympic training or being a mother.
What is the biggest challenge you face now, returning after your retirement?
I think the biggest challenge this time around has been being more aware of my health. It was really easy to take it for granted in my 20s, but now I'm 40 and my health is top of mind.
What are some things you do to keep you and your family healthy?
I've cleaned up my diet, which has helped my family to eat healthier as well! I also try to get as much sleep as possible, and I have regular physicals with my doctor. I have a family history of heart disease, which is something that would closely affect my career, so I supplement my diet with fiber through Metamucil to help lower my cholesterol and take care of my heart.
Why did you decide to try for the Olympics again?
I decided to retire after the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games when I was 24. I thought I had done what I wanted to do, and I was ready to travel the world and start a family—which has been the best thing I've ever done. But I realized that being a swimmer is a part of who I am, and I think every parent deserves to do something for themselves. There isn't one singular reason why I'm doing this, but I know it's not just a part of my past, it's who I'll always be.
Have your children been a source of motivation or inspiration?
My kids have been a huge part of coming back to the Olympic Games. I'd like to think that I'm adding to my credits as a role model for them by showing them how to chase their dreams and work hard to get it done. Now that I have a family, it's not just about me—I also want to make them proud, and that's a huge motivator.
Do they understand the importance of what you are trying to achieve, and what you have achieved in the past?
My kids are still young at ages 2 and 6, so they may not fully understand what I'm doing, but they know Mommy is working hard. I hope that when they're older and they realize what I've done, that they can be proud of me, and even appreciate how I juggled being a mom and an athlete!
Which is harder: training for the Olympics or being a mom?
Being a mom is definitely the hardest but most rewarding job. Training for the Olympic Games is partly a mental game, but it also comes down to basic training and getting those laps done in the pool. I can zone out and still get it done! Being a mom doesn't come with such a simple plan, but that's also part of the fun; you never know what's coming up next!
Do your kids like to swim competitively?
Not yet! My kids are turning into great swimmers, but I don't think they'll be heading to the Olympic Games any time soon. My daughter Sydney says she doesn't want to be a swimmer because she doesn't want to wake up early like I do! It's up to them—I'll support them in whatever they do.
Who would you say has been your biggest supporter throughout your athletic career?
My parents and my husband have definitely been my greatest supporters. My parents started my love for swimming; they drove me to countless early morning practices and gave me the support and encouragement that I needed in all stages of my career, including helping with my kids now while I train. My husband is my partner and the constant voice telling me that I can do this. He's been so understanding and supportive as I've taken my family along with me on this comeback journey, and I couldn't do it without him.
Gold medals aside, what has been your greatest accomplishment?
By far, I consider my greatest accomplishment and fondest memory to be when I ran the Olympic torch during the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games and handed it off to Muhammad Ali. It was a surreal moment and a huge honor, and I will never forget the sound of that roaring crowd! That tops any gold medal that I could ever win.
Do you have any advice for moms who struggle balancing their passions and their family responsibilities?
I'm fortunate that my training schedule allows me to be at home during the day to be with my kids and get things done. The rest is all about strategic planning. I make tons of lists and appointments on my phone or calendar so that I have everything planned ahead—meals, activities, training, babysitters, and fun time with the family. It only takes a little bit of time to plan things out, but it saves me hours in the long run!

New officers have been elected, and new projects, including logjam removal, are being considered by a rejuvenated River Raisin Watershed Council.
The organization had lost membership and most of its revenue before all but one of its officers resigned earlier this year.
At a recent meeting, new officers were elected and an executive committee was re-established.
"After nearly a year, the RRWC is on track to increase its membership to previous levels and to re-engage with the community," said a news release issued by the council.
Jim Mann of Washtenaw County was elected chairman. Laurie Johncox of Cambridge Township is vice chairman, Julius Suchy of Dundee is treasurer and Hedi Kaufman of Frenchtown Township is secretary.
Mann has represented Sharon Township on the council since it was established in 1974.
"The more we can get people out to experience being on the river, the more support we can get," Mann said in the news release. "The river is center to our whole region. We encourage members up and down its banks to bring to our attention any problems or concerns they may have."
He owns property on the river and has worked with the Manchester Kiwanis Club to help clear the river for the club's annual canoe race since 1967.
The council also took a significant step in lowering membership dues from
18 cents to 10 cents per person in each government unit's population. The reduction was made possible because overhead costs were lowered by the Lenawee County Drain Commission providing office space, telephone and Internet at no cost, according to the news release.
Bylaws are being reviewed for proposed changes that include allowing Lenawee, Monroe and Washtenaw counties to each appoint a representative to the executive committee.
The council is asking for suggestions from members and the public on small projects for 2013.
"So far, most support is for logjam removal, expanding the Adopt-a-Stream program and outreach to schools," the news release said.
The River Raisin watershed is considered a priority for environmental issues. A management plan the council developed and had approved by the state in 2009 led to several grants totaling more than $2 million. Local governments and nonprofit agencies in the watershed are eligible to apply for grants for projects to implement parts of the plan.
The council stated it is seeking more volunteers. Its website, which is being reconstructed by Adrian College students, is www.riverraisin.org.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to correct the county where Jim Mann lives.

each League member is trapped in a separate section that is designed to specifically keep them imprisoned by preying on psychological traits. I found Flash's the most interesting. Superman's is a nice nod to a scene in the first Christopher Reeves movie.
J'onn also notices that he's being shadowed by a mysterious cloaked figure but he can't discern who it is.

by IvCNuB4 » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:04 pmWonder Woman's is one constant battle but it's not a warrior's battle. She's being forced to fight under death threats to Steve and Superman. Her lack of control over her emotions for both of them are making her feel weak and not in control of herself.
Shazam's is his heart's desire. To be able to use his powers without restraint, battling all kinds of Silver-Age threats. He simply just doesn't want to leave this reality.
Flash's is being able to do everything all at one time because he has nothing but time. He's racing around the world, seeing things, doing personal and touristy things he's always wanted to do, saving everyone, learning things at super-speed, defeating all his Rogues. In reality he's trapped in a room, just sitting, not going anywhere. It's just his mind that is moving at super-speed creating these fantasies that he believes are real.
Superman's is guilt over killing Dr Light. He keeps trying to fly faster and faster hoping to spin the Earth backwards and reverse time.
Green Lantern/Simon Baz's is that he is the terrorist everyone thinks he is. Apparently he used his ring to destroy .. everything.
by LoganRSA » Thu Oct 17, 2013 3:50 pmSounds kinda neat, actually.
by Punchy » Fri Oct 18, 2013 9:47 amMatt Kindt and the Martian Manhunter step up from their regular back-up feature and headline this issue of JLoA, and hey, what a surprise, the Justice Leagues aren't really dead.
It turns out that the Crime Syndicate hasn't actually brutally murdered all of the heroes, but instead, they are all trapped in some kind of mental prison. And who better to take a trip through the mind than the Martian Manhunter? He wakes up in a strange, green field, with only Stargirl for company, and they have no idea where they are. But then, Jason Rusch appears in an orange prison jumpsuit, acting all crazy (I'm guessing he's had his mind mushed together with Ronnie Raymond's) and begins to lead Martian Manhunter through the prison, where we see just what kind of punishment each Justice Leaguer is being put through.
Wonder Woman is forced to fight to save the lives of both Amazons and Humans to save the lives of both Steve Trevor and Superman, with Kindt really putting the central question of Wonder Woman's allegiances to the fore. We see that Shazam is trapped inside a world with no consequences, where stuff he smashes and people who die come straight back, allowing for the literal inner child that is Billy Batson to be unleashed and get out of control. It felt like this was Kindt commenting on video games like GTA, where you are free to just do what you want, because the people don't actually die. Superman's prison is that of his guilt over killing Doctor Light, Green Lantern finds himself actually becoming a terrorist because of how distrusting the people were of him, and most disturbing of all, is the Flash's prison. Flash's pages here were really disturbing to me, as Barry tries to do everything in a day, to go faster and faster, but he's not actually doing it, he's just sitting there, going crazy. It was really freaky, and Doug Mahnke's art really made it work, that page with Flash running everywhere had so many panels, it was dense and manic and did a great job at getting across Flash's mental state.
Throughout the issue, there are teases of who or what is creating this prison, my guess is either a Martian Manhunter of Earth-3 (who is probably a White Martian) or Deathstorm, because Jason really was acting sketchy in this issue. In the end, with J'Onn deep in the bowels of the prison with Simon Baz, Stargirl discovers a way out, finding herself in the midst of Forever Evil. The moon is blacked out, Washington DC is trashed, etc.
This was a pretty decent tie-in, and it bodes well for the future of this event, big stuff, like the fate of the Justice League is being revealed here, so it's not just pointless. I liked seeing the likes of Martian Manhunter and Stargirl play a larger role than usual, and Kindt did very well in coming up with creepy prisons for our heroes, and was ably assisted by Doug Mahnke's fantastic art. If you're enjoying the main Forever Evil book, pick up this tie in, but then you probably were anyway. I did feel like at times the dialogue was a bit stilted, but other than that, this was good.
by syxxpakk » Sun Oct 20, 2013 3:56 pmWon't be MM of Earth-3, Punchy, see Pandora #4 for more details. I think it's more of a mental prison, but we'll see.

So that's how this ties tothe Pandora storyline. Good stuff.

Brandeis collaborates with James Taylor in 'A Christmas Carol'He's seen fire and he's seen rain. Now people are flocking to Pittsfield, Mass. to see five-time Grammy Award winner James Taylor as he takes the stage — and direction — from Eric Hill, Brandeis' Louis, Francis and Jeffrey Sachar Professor of Creative Arts.
The Berkshire Theatre Group's (BTG) annual community production of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," adapted by Hill, and co-directed by E. Gray Simons III, opened at The Colonial Theatre on Dec. 17 and will run through Dec. 30. This is the sixth season that the group has been performing the show — and the first year in the 800-seat Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield. Proceeds benefit Berkshire Theatre Group's Education Program.
"It's a thrill to direct James Taylor in his theatrical debut," says Hill, who also plays the role of Scrooge in the production. "A Christmas Carol' is a celebration and sharing of our common humanity on a community level. James brings his inherent charm and gentleness to bear in his portrayal of Bob Cratchit, a good and unpretentious man. To work with Kim Taylor, Rufus and Henry Taylor again only adds to the joy."
Kim Taylor is the wife of James Taylor, and Rufus and Henry are their 10-year-old twin sons.
The production also features performances by four Brandeis graduate theater students. They include: Sarah Elizabeth Bedard; Sam Gillam; Brandon Green and Eddie Shields. In addition, the play's sound designer is J. Hagenbuckle, who earned his M.F.A. from Brandeis in 2008.
Elizabeth Terry, associate professor of the practice of theater arts, served as the dialect coach and Susan Dibble, the Barbara Sherman '54 and Malcolm L. Sherman Director of Theater Arts, did the movement for the Fezziwig Jig, a dance scene in the production.
There are a limited number of tickets for the show still available. They can be purchased by phone at (413) 997-4444 and in person at 111 South St., Pittsfield, and through James Taylor's website.
This past summer Hill directed Berkshire Theatre Group's production of "The Who's Tommy," as well as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" at the Neil Ellenoff Stage at the Mount. Hill has also directed "Macbeth," "Endgame," "Faith Healer," "The Einstein Project," "Amadeus," "The Glass Menagerie," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "The Caretaker." Previous acting credits include "A Man for All Seasons," "Dimetos" and "The Father."

Ryan Gosling on the September 2011 Cover of Esquire 2011-08-10 11:11:47
Ryan Gosling Meets Ryan Gosling in September's Esquire
There's a double dose of Ryan Gosling on the September cover of Esquire. Before Ryan dyed his hair blond for The Place Beyond the Pines, he worked with photographer Perou on the Ryan-meets-Ryan concept. The results of their collaboration depict Drive star Ryan's Hollywood persona and his skeleton-obsessed private side. Ryan and one of the magazine's writers ventured to Coney Island to do the accompanying interview. Ryan touched on his obsession with bones, love for sweets, and growing up in a theme park. He said:
- Ryan on living two lives: "I think I was always bound to become two selves, if I wasn't already. Now there's this me, this public me, and I know that I have become two people. This is what I told the photographer before he took those photographs. Even my own name sounds like just someone I know."
- Ryan on his love for candy: "This is the stuff . . . I like to call this the next level of candy . . . Hi-Chews! Look at these! It's the candy that never quits on you. This candy is always worth the price. There used to be a candy called Bonkers, which I believe to be the greatest candy of all time. For some reason, they discontinued Bonkers . . . Sometimes I think that the one thing I love most about being an adult is the right to buy candy whenever and wherever I want."
- Ryan on growing up in Disney World: "I went through puberty in a theme park . . . I'm grateful. That place was a landscape to me. I had adventures every day. Backstage at Disney World, there are stories. Mickey Mouse with his head off, drinking coffee on break. Pirates on the phone. Ghosts in line for food. It just made me see things."

Bus drivers' strike continues in Phoenix suburbs
Negotiators for striking transit bus drivers in eastern Phoenix suburbs and the national bus company they work for negotiated Friday, the second day of a work stoppage affecting tens of thousands of riders.
The strike began Thursday, shutting down 40 routes in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and Tempe, along with express routes from those cities to Scottsdale and Phoenix. The affected routes serve some 57,000 riders daily, including many workers without cars who can't walk miles to work in the summertime heat.
Negotiators for the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1433 and operator First Transit met for a few hours Thursday and held talks again on Friday. First Transit took over operations July 1 after winning a three-year contract from the Valley Metropolitan Regional Transit Authority with options for seven additional years in January. The region's single light rail line from north-central Phoenix to Mesa was operating normally, as was bus service in Phoenix and western suburbs.
Transit authority spokeswoman Susan Tierney said the agency is not involved in the negotiations. The new contract combined operations in Mesa and Tempe that serve the eastern Phoenix suburbs, and involved savings of $36 million over the previous contract by operating both parts of the system together and streamlining operations. Union officials said it cut $77 million over 10 years.
ATU Local 1433 president Bob Bean said Friday afternoon that there's optimism an agreement will be reached. First Transit spokeswoman Jen Biddinger also said the sides are making progress.
Maurice L. Harris, another First Transit spokesman, said later that talks concluded for the day at about 6:30 p.m., after the union called for a one-year contract.
Harris said in the press statement that all discussions up to that point had hinged on a three-year contract, which he maintained would provide for greater bus service stability for riders.
Union spokesmen did not immediately return calls for comment.
Earlier, union officials said the company provided a new offer on a key issue, job security. Drivers on the picket line in front of Tempe bus yard Thursday said that was their biggest issue with First Transit.
The contract between the regional transit authority and First Transit would override First Transit's proposed deal with the union, because of a clause within the labor contract, union members said Thursday.
"It doesn't protect our members, it doesn't protect any of the operators," said James Washington, a driver for 23 years who serves on the board of Amalgamated Transit Union's Local 1433. "It gives management the right to run rampant and do whatever they like and their client basically dictates what they need to do to us."
It wasn't immediately known if the new offer on so-called "management rights" had been accepted by the union. First Transit also said it has offered higher wages and lower health care costs.
A striker said Friday that union members were united and would remain on the picket lines "as long as it takes."
"The strike is going well," driver Shirley Henderson-Manley said. "It's going in our favor so far."
A strike in March 2012 crippled bus service in metropolitan Phoenix for six days before it was settled.

The residential housing market has carried the burden for the majority of the construction industry during the recession, as public projects have struggled to keep pace. In many cases, however, it hasn't been for a lack of need. Take, for example, public school construction. Studies conducted by the National Education Association have revealed billions of dollars are needed for school modernization, and a recent report titled "The 2003 - 2004 U.S. Markets Construction Update" from FMI, a Raleigh, N.C.-based market analysis group, finds that enrollment in U.S. schools will peak in the next two years, potentially setting the stage for a glut of electrical work (Table below). As with all public projects, however, those predictions hinge upon the approval of local budgets.
The correctional facility market could also prove to be a plentiful source of public construction projects in the near future, given the right amount of support from federal and local government. With 3.1% of the U.S. population incarcerated and the prison system at large in dire need of updates and expansion, FMI's report predicts substantial increases in new construction and renovations through 2007 (Table below). Nearly $8 billion a year could be budgeted at the state and federal level in addition to some new construction in the private corrections facility sector. Again, these predictions come with a caveat: The already high price of housing inmates — the report cites estimates that place the cost anywhere from $15,000 to $66,000 per inmate per year — may give state and federal governments pause when budgeting for new construction.
