Surat issues warning over Hantavirus
Two people have died of suspected Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the flood-ravaged city in Gujarat.india Updated: Aug 24, 2006 12:30 IST
A health warning has been issued in Gujarat's flood-ravaged Surat city following two deaths due to suspected Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
Hantavirus spreads through rat urine, droppings or saliva and affects the kidneys, lungs, pulmonary system or the heart.
The warning was issued late Wednesday and people have been asked to take precautions and avoid large gatherings since the possibility of contracting the virus is high.
Vikas Desai, head of the preventive social medicine department, said two people - Dipak Tarsariya (24) and Kanji Ghaskata (36), both residents of Katargam area in Surat, died due to the disease.
Desai, however, ruled out the possibility of plague in the city.
"Tests have not revealed any plague symptoms so far. Serum samples collected from the patients have been sent to the New Delhi-based National Institute of Communicable Diseases for further tests," said Desai.
After the weeklong deluge, people began fleeing the city in large numbers fearing epidemics. Memories of the 1994 plague continue to haunt the people of Surat and not too many are ready to take any chances.
Meanwhile, the rains and flooding in Gujarat has also led to an outbreak of chikungunya across the state, especially in Ahmedabad.
Chikungunya is a relatively rare form of viral fever caused by bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner I.P. Gautam put the figure of such cases at 2,500. He said all 43 urban health centres in the city were assigned the task of distributing chikungunya medicines. Sixty-two mobile dispensaries have also been allocated for the purpose.
The corporation has also set up a special round-the-clock control room, and around 1,000 municipal workers are carrying out a door-to-door survey and awareness campaign.

Melatonin menurunkan berat badan tetapi tidak menurunkan kadar TNF-α pada tikus wistar jantan yang diberi minyak jelantah selama 28 hari
Article Metrics: (Click on the Metric tab below to see the detail)
Backgound: Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) occurs when the intake and free fatty acid synthesis occurs more frequently than its oxidation and resecretion in the blood. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that can boost the synthesis of endogenous antioxidants in the body, suppress the inflammatory response and inhibit the formation of steatosis.
Objective: To analyze the effect of melatonin supplementation in reducing body weight andTNF-α levels in male Wistar rats were fed by waste cooking oil.
Methods: True experimental studyusing post-test only control group design. This study was done on 18 male wistar rats were divided into 3 groups : the positive control group (P0) was administrated waste cooking oil, the treated group 1 (P1) was administrated waste cooking oil and 5mg/kgBW melatonin, and the treated group 2 (P2) was administrated waste cooking oil and 10mg/kgBW melatonin for 28 days.Data analysis using One Way ANOVA test and followed by Tukey test to determine the most effective dose of melatonin.
Results: There was significant difference in body weightbetween P2group and K0 group (p=0,019) with the mean body weight difference was 19,167g lower than K0 group. There was no difference in TNF-α levels between the three groups (p=0,155).
Conclusion: Melatonin dose of 10mg/kgBWloses body weight male Wistar rats have given by waste cooking oil for 28 days, but does not reduce TNF-α levels.

This track was on the Dutty Artz Recession Rap podcast. It's by Kano, called "Paper," and when I first head it last night coming home from work on the last train, waiting at Shibuya for the Yamanote line, I was thinking what is expressed by this sentiment in the comments for the video on YouTube: "UK! fuk da US were at a limit thy cant reach!"
Though to be fair after finishing listening to the mix, I was already disagreeing with that, because there are a couple of amazing US hip hop songs on the mix (like this one below).
"Bout My Money" by Joell Ortiz ゲット [DL]
I really want this song by Maluca. I'm infatuated with it.

They're generally known for their unconditional love and baking skills.
But a group of Australian grandmas are hoping their unique approach draws attention to something more serious - the plight of children locked in immigration detention.
Grandmothers against Detention of Refugee Children are demanding all children be released from immigration detention in Australian and on Nauru and they've travelled from Melbourne to make sure their call is heard in Canberra.
They've collected more than 2500 signatures on a petition calling for the children and their families to be freed into the Australian community.
The petition was tabled in the Senate by Greens senator Janet Rice on Monday.
Group founder Dr Gwenda Davey says there are more than 200 children currently in detention, and almost half of them are on Nauru. Many of them are babies.
The grandmothers say women on the island are frightened of being sexually assaulted because the centre is open for people to come and go.
They say their hearts break for the children, and their grandmothers.
"To watch our own grandchildren play and learn and have freedom and to know that there's so many children that don't have that - it's heartbreaking," Marg D'Arcy said.
The women say they now have 1200 members in Victoria, one in every federal electorate and a growing number in Sydney.
They're on the verge of setting up in Canberra and plan to go national.

That not-so-startling conclusion comes from researchers at Cornell University here, who found that office workers ate more candy kisses when the treats were close at hand in clear glass bowls on their desks than they did when the confections were out of sight in opaque bowls, or out of reach, or both.
"These results show that the proximity and visibility of a food can consistently increase an adult's consumption of it," wrote Brian Wansink, Ph.D., and colleagues in the online edition of the International Journal of Obesity.
The investigators also found that "participants consistently underestimated their intake of the candies on their desks yet overestimated how much they ate when the candies were farther away," said Dr. Wansink, who teaches marketing and applied economics.
The authors wanted to known how a food's proximity and visibility affected its consumption, and also whether foods close at hand are eaten more frequently because they're convenient, or because people lose track of how much they have consumed.
To find answers, they found 40 adult secretaries (all female) who selflessly volunteered to take part in a four-week study of chocolate kiss consumption from the office candy dish.
They used a two-by-two within-subject crossover design in which each participant would undergo a proximity phase and a visibility phase. For the proximity phase, 30 chocolate kisses (Hershey Foods, Hershey, Pa.) were placed on the desk of the volunteer or 6.5 feet away.
For the visibility substudy, the investigators placed the candy in covered bowls that were either clear or opaque. The bowls were refilled each evening, and the bowl placements were rotated every Monday. Each participant's daily consumption was counted and recorded, and each was asked to fill out a follow-up questionnaire.
The investigators found that the participants ate an average of 7.7 kisses each day when the chocolates were in clear bowls on the desk, 4.6 when they were in opaque containers on the desk p<0.04); 5.6 when they were visible from 6.5 feet away, and 3.1 when they were both 6.5 feet away and out of sight in opaque jars (p<0.03).
"It is important to note, however, that there was a significant tendency for participants to consistently underestimate their daily consumption of proximately placed candies (-0.9) and overestimate their daily consumption of less proximately placed candies (+0.5)," the investigators wrote.
The authors suggested that people who are more aware of the influence that distance and salience have on food consumption may be able to more effectively control their intake of fat and sugar.
"You eat more chocolate if it's visibly nearby, but the silver lining is this might also work for fruits and vegetables," Dr. Wansink said. "In other words, what makes the close candy dish nutritionally dangerous might just bring the fruit bowl back in vogue."

Bassist Paweł Demirski is one of the most highly-regarded playwrights in Poland, guitarist and vocalist Monika Strzępka – the voice and, most importantly, also the heart of socially engaged theater, directing on the most important stages in the country. Percussion is played by Tomik Grewiński, now the head of the record label Kayax and Kayah's manager, once a rhythmic pillar of Houk and Ahims bands, in which he played with Tomek Sierajewski who in "The Red Pigs" plays the role of solo guitarist. The group's first album will be available soon.

SU is amongst the first to join the Healthier Campus Initiative
PHA works with the private sectors and PHA honorary chair First Lady Michelle Obama to make healthier choices easier, in a three-year commitment to make campuses healthier by adopting guidelines around food and nutrition, and physical activity and programming. This initiative will impact over 6,000 students and 1,000 faculty and staff on Southern University's campus.
Southern's Acting Chancellor, Flandus McClinton said, "It is truly an honor for Southern University and A&M College to be one of only 19 universities committed to the Partnership for a Healthier America initiative. At Southern University, we focus on providing our students with a comprehensive education. We take great pride in equipping our students with the necessary tools to be successful in every aspect of their lives, including their health and wellness."
McClinton went on to say, "This partnership enables us to build upon the efforts that are currently in place for not only our students, but also members of the faculty, staff, and administration. I trust that this initiative will have a significant impact on making Southern University a more conscious and healthier campus environment."
Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs & Enrollment Management, Dr. Brandon K. Dumas said, "This partnership is yet another demonstration of the direction Southern University and A&M College is taking to improve the excellence we instill in our students inside and outside of the classroom. The fact that Louisiana was ranked as having one of the highest obesity rates makes this relationship meaningful. By Southern University joining the Healthier Campus Initiative, we can continue to contribute positively to our state for generations to come."
During October, the Student Health Center launched the "Jags Get Fit" program, which will incorporate PHA's Healthier Campus Initiative objectives into the overall campaign.
Executive Director for Health and Wellness, Shirley Wade is thrilled to be a part of this endeavor "that will help provide the framework for achieving health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of the entire campus community."
As a health care provider it is essential that we promote a wellness model that focuses on addressing obesity, as it is a major contributing factor in so many chronic illnesses that impact our specific population. I am looking forward to working with our campus and community partners to make this a successful initiative," said Wade.
The additional 19 schools first to join PHA in a three-year commitment to make their campuses healthier include:
- Arizona State University
- Binghamton University
- Central New Mexico Community College
- Clayton State University
- Florida International University
- George Mason University
- George Washington University
- Georgia Institute of Technology
- Hampshire College
- North Carolina State University
- The Ohio State University
- Oklahoma State University
- Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi
- University of California, Los Angeles
- University of Miami
- University of New Hampshire
- University of North Dakota
- University of Oregon
- Washington University in St. Louis
PHA CEO Lawrence A. Soler said, "Colleges and universities are in a unique position to help shape tomorrow's leaders, whether they are teachers, coaches, policymakers, CEOs, moms or dads. We know that going to college is a time of change for many students-we also know that means it's a time when new habits are formed. By creating healthier food and physical activity environments today, campuses and universities are encouraging healthier habits that will carry over into tomorrow."
Each college or university partner has committed to meet 23 guidelines-developed by PHA in collaboration with some of the nation's leading nutrition, physical activity and campus wellness experts-around nutrition, physical activity, and programming on campus. Because of the unique nature of each campus, universities and colleges choose 23 guidelines from a menu of nearly 40 recommendations, including identifying certain food and beverage options as healthier choices - impacting more than 25 million meals each year; promoting water consumption on campus; offering a bicycle share program for all students; providing certified personal trainers and registered dietitian nutritionists on campus; among others.
To learn more about the PHA's Healthier Campus Initiative, visit www.ahealthieramerica.org/campuses.
The Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) is devoted to working with the private sector to ensure the health of our nation's youth by solving the childhood obesity crisis. In 2010, PHA was created in conjunction with - but independent from - First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! effort. PHA is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that is led by some of the nation's most respected health and childhood obesity experts. PHA brings together public, private and nonprofit leaders to broker meaningful commitments and develop strategies to end childhood obesity. Most important, PHA ensures that commitments made are commitments kept by working with unbiased, third parties to monitor and publicly report on the progress our partners are making. For more information about PHA, please visit www.aHealthierAmerica.org and follow PHA on Twitter @PHAnews.

Qais al-Khazali, leader of the terrorist Shiite militia Asaib Ahl al-Haq (The League of the Righteous), during his visit with Iranian Intelligence service in Iran. During his visit, he met with a number of the Iranian senior officials and revolutionary Guard commanders.
The group's main Iranian patron is thought to be Iranian general Qassem Suleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, a man the U.S. formerly designated a terrorist.
Qais al-Khazali less than a decade ago helped coordinate a brazen attack on U.S. troops that left five American soldiers dead.

2.7 Widget Admin
I see you stick with that godawful widget screen from 2.5 and 2.6, where I have to remove, then add again, losing all the settings.
Pat on the back.
/sarcasm off
Seriously, why?
It's the main sticking point for 8 of my wordpress users, and combined they run about 20 blogs.
All of them were willing to wait for 2.7 and an improved widget area.
Seeing this (I have it installed on a test blog for them to play with) the first reaction was "Not going to upgrade to that one, either"
So here I am, looking for an alternative blogging platform, because I know where it's heading with my guys. They're done. They want to switch to something else now.
The admin screen has improved slightly, but it's the widget area they liked in 2.3.1 (I did too) with the nice drag and drop, and having all widget areas visible at once.
Grab a widget from Bar1 and drag it to Bar2 – done.
2.5-2.7 has killed that functionality completely.
On top of this, one of my users just managed to add all the widgets to the HEADER. She told me she had Sidebar1 selected, but that's not where they went.
She changed the dropdown, yes. But I'm guessing she didn't hit "Show" after. So while she thought she was adding it all to Sidebar1 (because that's what showed in the dropdown), it was still adding everything to the header.
Since she could only see 1 bar at a time, she had no idea where the widgets were going.
Wow. Talk about screwed up.

RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Felician University women's basketball junior Marya Trapp (Red Bank, N.J./Red Bank Regional) has been named to the Weekly Honor Roll of the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) Division II/III Player of the Week program. The recognition, announced on Tuesday, was for the period ending Dec. 18.
Trapp was chosen from among the 52 NCAA Division II and III basketball-playing institutions in the New York City metropolitan area. More information is available at http://www.metbasketballwriters.org/news/2016/12/20/WBB_1220160129.aspx?path=wbball.
Trapp, a 6-foot forward, turned in 15.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game despite an 0-2 week for Felician (2-10). She totaled 17 points and 10 rebounds in a Dec. 14 home loss to Southern New Hampshire University, and followed with 14 points and 14 boards on Dec. 17 in a setback at Saint Michael's College.
The MBWA, in its 84th year, coordinates the oldest set of continuous college basketball postseason awards presented by the media. The MBWA Player of the Week program was revived two years ago after first being handed out from 2004-05 to 2008-09.
Felician is next in action on Dec. 30, when it hosts Mercy College at 1 p.m. in Rutherford.
Felician University, the Franciscan University of New Jersey, is a liberal arts, coeducational Catholic university founded in 1942 and sponsored by the Felician Sisters. True to its mission, Felician University welcomes a diverse student population and embraces its educational needs. With campuses in Lodi and Rutherford, New Jersey, Felician University currently enrolls more than 2,100 students and offers more than 55 undergraduate and graduate programs, in the classroom and online, in the arts and sciences, business and management sciences, health sciences and teacher education. Felician University also sponsors 14 varsity intercollegiate sports that compete at the NCAA Division II level.

My younger daughter emailed yesterday, asking if she could call so I could help with one of her crossword puzzles. She lives in New York City and we've developed some nice rituals to keep in touch. Lunch or dinner when I go down to the City for the opera; the same here on those occasions when she's up here on business. And crosswords. She likes New York Magazine's puzzles which suits me just fine. I always liked Maura Jacobson's crosswords--a good challenge so as to be interesting, but not so difficult as to kill the fun of doing one at a single sitting.
So we get on the phone and bat words back and forth and gossip about our men. Well, hers actually because I've got my man and she's still in the dating pool. She was set up on a blind date recently by a guy friend, and the date unexpectedly turned out to be a rabid Bush fan. His opening gambit was to tell her that George Bush is working ceaselessly for the betterment of the world. The evening, she told me, ended early, badly, and with him informing her that he expected her to pay for her own dinner. I said I hope she walked out and left him with the check, but she said she paid willingly, not wanting to be obligated to him on any level. Her guy friend has apologized profusely.
She works for a major communications company recruiting top professionals for its publishing arm and she's really good at it. She puts herself out to the public with a real chic and writes beautifully. Having a designer for a father can't have hurt, but her sense of style is her own and was evident at a young age. When she was around nine or ten, I stopped buying clothes for her and started taking her to the kind of thrift shops to which we're both addicted so she could put together her own looks. Her color sense was perfect and she always knew what looked best on her increasingly willowy and lithe frame.
Tomorrow evening, I'll be at the first gathering of gay Boston bloggers at the Border Cafe, a raucous, fun Tex-Mex restaurant in Harvard Square noted for its margeritas and good food. While I think there are at least twenty of us in the area (not counting boyfriends and husbands), it looks like we might be only six at dinner, a small event compared to the big (apparently quite naughty this year) New York City bashes that inspired it. But I think we'll have a great time and with luck more guys will be able to join us in future.
The massive traffic jam evacuating the Texas coast
Among the fallout from these hurricanes, it seems obvious that evacuating our cities in times of crisis is not possible without massive problems. The hundred-mile back-ups and cars running out of gas along the roads in Texas was a nightmare, not to speak of the deaths both along the roadside and in the bus of elderly patients thet blew up. One of our local papers reported today that Bosto's evacuation plans are as good as useless. Although Boston's Mayor Menino immediately protested, this isn't news. Anyone who's tried to get out of Boston on an autumn leaf peeping or winter ski weekend knows that the roads in and out of the city are wholly inadequate. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is total chaos all up and down the Northeast Corridor. The infrastructure isn't in great shape either along lengthy stretches of our highways, the bridges in particular.
I have a strong feeling that this country is heavily overextended what with the enormous expense of Iraq and the prospect of another two decades of weather patterns favoring these monster storms. Fritz told me a couple of years ago that he looked on the Bush administration as marking the beginning of the end of the United States' international power and influence and I agree. I don't see how, bankrupted as we are financially (and morally before world opinion), we can maintain our superpower status and take care of overwhelming problems at home that have been scandalously neglected or actively worsened by Bush, all at the same time. It saddens--and angers--me that my daughters will live in a time of decreased quality of life, degraded national security, and deteriorating infastructure and economy. This is not what all of us have worked for so hard and for so long.
On the other hand, the Boston blogger event sounds like great fun!
I'd say never again, but I don't have to worry, being in my current relationship for over 3 years now.
I guess those high dollar tax cuts the Bush regime handed out to corporations and higher-income families didn't apply to him.
Congrats to your daughter for not "obligating" herself in some form to a bigot.
My site is in a bit different area, but just as useful. I have a mens male enhancement reviews related site focusing on mens male enhancement reviews and mens health related topics.

Interaction Matters Series
Dear CEU Community,
Human RightS Initiative is pleased to inform you about a new series of workshops that we are launching – Interaction Matters*.

Dead Rich Men
Aaron Spelling died today.
He had a stroke over the weekend and was back at home when he passed away at the age of 83.
According to one of my rags, Tori saw him the week before he had the stroke, after 9 months of not seeing him due to a rift between her and her mother. Her mother was supposedly in Vegas for the weekend with another man, so Tori went to visit her dad. I'm glad she got that last visit in - she would have felt like a Shiloh Pitt if she hadn't.
Also, Anna Nicole Smith's stepson, 67 year old E. Pierce Marshall died earlier this week. He's the one suing her for his father's fortune.
Too bad that estate tax cut didn't go into effect yet.

Kirsten Oswald MP was making a special trip to Williamwood High School last week when she presented a certificate to Cormac O'Hara.
The S4 pupil received the Early Day Motion certificate after winning the prestigious Telegraph/Aldi School Champion Award.
Cormac (15) is autistic, has epilepsy and suffers from severe anxiety, which made the transition to high school two years ago very difficult. He overcame these barriers by focusing on athletics, becoming the Scottish under-17 champion for 1,500 metres in the Paralympic T2 category.
Kirsten commented: "It was a great pleasure to present Cormac with a certificate to acknowledge his achievements. He has overcome adversity to achieve very impressive results on the athletics track, and I am in awe of his focus and commitment to running at the Paralympics in Tokyo 2020.
"Meeting Cormac underlined further what an impressively determined and committed young man he is. He is an excellent ambassador for his school."

I've recently moved to Florence in Italy and one of the classes I'm taking is "History of Italian Cinema". We've been focussing on Italian neorealism, which has been absolutely exciting for me. Analyzing the films and writing reviews on them has been quite a joyous experience because once I have an idea, all these connections start to appear and the film(s) takes on a whole new meaning filled with intertextuality, symbolism, and greater depth to the chosen shots I hadn't considered before.
It's not so great when your professor hands you back your essay, having underlined terminology and interesting points and written "ok" in the margin. So I thought I'd use my theater blog to spend some time looking at Vittorio de Sica's Ladri di Biciclette, or as it is known in English, Bicycle Thieves (1948) and put my two cents in (the title is often mistakenly translated as Bicycle Thief, minor but significant detail). My ideas may or may not be original, but dang it – I had things I wanted to say. This is by no means extensive because really an entire book should be written about the film, but it's a snippet looking at particular shots. So here we go:
What struck me about Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves (1948) was the portrayal of desperation. There is a sheer feeling of desperation in the reality that Ricci faces, knowing that the bicycle affects his entire life. In a snowball effect, the loss of his bicycle means he is unable to work and therefore unable to provide for his family.
As much as the story follows Antonio Ricci (Lamberto Maggiorani) in his quest to find his bike, it is also about following his son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola), and observing their relationship. When Ricci is about to head off for his first day at work, there is a two shot of him with Bruno as they put their omelets into their pocket. They dress almost similarly, and the gaze they exchange between them within this shot depicts a loving relationship between them. This two shot is important, as it is the first shot where the audience has a look at both of them as father and son, without a bike between them (see featured image of the post). Prior to this, dialogue between them has had them existing on different frames. Bruno actually works on cleaning the bicycle and talks to his father, but they are never in the same shot with the bike before stepping out of the house. Though most of the film proceeds to revolve around finding the bicycle rather than it being constantly seen visually, the bicycle is present in the psychology of Ricci, which then slowly creates a sense of distance between father and son. Finding the bicycle becomes more important than the immediate care of Bruno, who is seen falling down and even almost getting hit by a car.
De Sica employs the use of wide-angle shots in order for the audience to follow the action and contextualize the scenario with the location, Rome. This then creates a visual emphasis of trying to find a needle in a haystack, of trying to find one bicycle in the city of Rome. These wide shots, however, are also an opportunity to see Ricci's son trailing behind him. The first moment Bruno is first seen following his father, is when Ricci carries his bike out of the house. Bruno trails behind him for an instant, before turning back to realize that his baby sister lies on the bed. He closes the window so his sister (I assume sister for some reason) will not feel cold, a moment that also alienates the audience and creates this sense that the viewer is observing the lives of Ricci and Bruno unfold. The second instant that the audience is alienated, which is almost immediately after the first, is when there is a two shot of Ricci and Bruno standing by the door of their house. Ricci bids his wife farewell and closes the door. Both moments of alienation, first by the son then by the father, serve to inform the audience that both characters are equally important to the story. They also are used by De Sica to emphasize the role of the audience as an observer.
The camera often stays with Bruno, catching the moments when he is on his own. The audience is also frequently shown his point of view. This has a strong emotional weight to the film, most notably when Ricci decided to steal a bicycle. This moment is marked by an asymmetrical shot divided by a street post, making it seem as though Ricci is literally crossing the line from victim to thief and there is no going back when he does. Bruno sees his father riding off with the bike and then getting caught. Bruno makes his way through the crowd of people to be near his father, tight shot which serves to elevate the anxiety of the scene. As they hold hands and walk through the crowd of people around them, De Sica restrains using a two shot for this scene and only does so from behind them. They walk with a crowd of people, a moment that recalls the beginning of the film where Ricci stood amongst a crowd waiting for news of work. Seeing individual shots of the father crying and the boy in despair heighten the desperation and sense of complete loss that a two shot would shatter. What is important is to see them holding hands together, their faces visibly showing their utter loss and uncertainty of what is to come.

I am going to tell you a secret.
I love to be alone.
I am going to tell you another secret.
I don't have a best friend.
I have 3.
Me, myself, and I.
And trust me, it took me a long time before I was okay with being alone.
Sometimes, the only person you can really count on, is yourself.
And that's a good thing.
A thing to find joy in.
Try being alone with your pet for an extended period of time.
They stop being your pet.
You develop a special communication that goes beyond "sit, stay, lay down, come"
Almost a psychic connection... maybe an instinctive connection from our primitive times.
I am free.

As you know, I am an art photographer who takes artistic nude and semi-nude photographs. All my subjects are at least 18 years of age, have presented me with a photo id and signed a model release. I have NEVER taken or have even thought about taking an exploitive photograph of a child in my over 20 year career. I have been shooting for over 20 years and have respected the photography of Annie Leibovitz as long as I can remember, but I think her notoriety has affected her judgment. The photography she recently shot of Miley Cyrus for Vanity Fair Magazine is in very poor taste. If any other photographer would have photographed a 15 year old in this manner they would be out of business in minutes and probably brought up on child pornography charges. But since she is the photographer to the stars she can get away with this. I do believe the image is artistic in nature but it is lacking any good judgment. Both Leibovitz and Vanity Fair are exploiting this young girl for money pure and simple. To say that it was shot digital and her handlers were on the set is their way of saying, she could have said No. But if you say no to Vanity Fair or Annie Leibovitz, you better kiss your career goodbye.
I am ashamed that they stooped as low as this and hope the young lady's reputation isn't ruined because of a photographer's ego.

Breathing....Read Now
The why of breathing is pretty clear, even the youngest of kids will tell you what happens if you stop.
But the how of breathing is really interesting. Knowing what goes on under the ribs and as a result of our breathing can really help kids to visualise the process and use it more effectively.
We breathe on average 12 times a minute and depending how long you're here for, about 450 million times in your life time.
The lungs don't actually breathe - the diaphragm does the work, your lungs are like bellows - oxygen is sucked in and carbon dioxide is pushed out. I describe the lungs to kids like trees. Starting with the trunk as the trachea, the big branches as the bronchial tubes, the smaller branches are the bronchi oles, the leaves are the alveoli and the veins in the leaf are the capillaries that switch the oxygen for the carbon dioxide. Simple, and they get it straight away. Kids love factual and straight forward explanations.
Most of us only use about 1/8th of our lungs actual capacity. We breath short shallow breaths that make our shoulders go up and down and not our bellys go in and out with a long deep breath.
Take a moment to think about how you are breathing, watch your child or sleeping baby.
Shallow breathing is what happens when we are in our "fight, fright or flight" mode - we are in a sympathetic nervous state and ready to run for our lives. Long slow breaths bring us into a para-sympathetic nervous state - calm and collected. This is the reason in an emergency a paramedic will tell you to take deep breaths and probably why you ask your child to take some deep breaths when they are crying so hard you can't understand what they are crying about.
Teaching your child to breathe better is pretty easy.
- bubble blowers
- balloons
- pinwheels
- pom pom ping pong (kids love this - You'll need a fluffy pom pom to blow back and forth across a table. Points scored by the other person if the pom pom is blown off the table - teaching them to control their breath. Can also be done on the floor, just no points scored.)
There are hundreds of Apps that might appeal to your kids as a self calming tool. I checked these out -
Settle Your Glitter
Breathing Bubbles
but nothing beats the fun stuff.
Lay down on the floor with your kids, put a favourite small toy on their belly and ask them to watch it go up and down as they breathe into their belly. A few minutes of that will show a marked calm come over them. Enjoy!

Whether you need to store your patio furniture for the winter or you simply want to make sure it's properly cared for, there are a few things you can do to keep each piece looking beautiful. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind as you care for your patio furnishings.
Inspect For Mold
Patio furniture that is exposed to rain can sometimes develop mold. This is particularly true for upholstered cushions, but it can form on plastic or wood furniture as well. If your cushions have removable covers, wash them in hot water and dry them according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you notice mold growth on the foam fill inside, you may want to have your patio furniture restoration company craft new cushions for your furniture. You can use fine sandpaper to gently remove small amounts of mold growth, but you may need to have a professional restoration company handle stubborn spots.
Dry Your Furniture
To prevent future mold growth, be sure to thoroughly dry your furniture after a rain storm. Hang cushion covers and foam fill to dry, or place it in the dryer if the manufacturer's instructions all for it. Wipe down the surfaces of seats and tables, and tilt chairs forward to drain water than might have gotten inside the frame. If your chair and table legs have caps on the feet, remove them first to allow water to drain properly. These steps should also be followed after cleaning your furniture when preparing it for storage.
Check For Structural Integrity
It's a good idea to check the structural integrity of your furnishings from time to time. Inspect screws and tighten them as needed to allow for a safe, sturdy seating area. Do the same for table legs, and open up patio umbrellas to make sure all of the pieces are free from damage. If your patio umbrella is left out in a severe storm, you'll want to make sure there are no weak spots that could cause the structure to collapse. If you have a damaged umbrella, have your patio furniture restoration service perform any necessary repairs before using it on your patio again.
Cover Your Furnishings
To provide additional protection from the sun, rain, and extreme weather conditions, use patio furniture covers to shield each piece from the elements. Check with the manufacturer before purchasing covers, as some manufacturers create covers that are specifically designed for their items. Place the covers on when no one is using the patio, and be sure to clean the covers as needed.
Use these tips to keep your patio furniture cared for and looking great. Should you find a damaged item on your patio, contact a patio furniture restoration company, like Simon Patio Furniture & Powder Coating, Inc , to handle the repairs.

Here I am at the top of the hike near Helen Hunt Falls in the North Cheyenne Canon Park. The view is looking to the east. As Daniel says, "I can see my house from here."
Joe was disappointed that we didn't see any bears ourselves. I was not. After our drive and hike, we went back to the Ho Jo that served as our base camp, and Joe and the boys swam for a couple of hours in the pool.
Monday was Raymond's birthday, and the plan was to go to the top of Pike's Peak, eat their special recipe donuts and Raymond would open his gifts from us. Last time we went up (6 years ago) we made it to Glen Cove which is about 3,000 feet below the summit. That year we were traveling in the RV and it was not designed to make it to the top of mountains. This time we did make it to the summit.
Daniel at Pike's Peak Summit. The view is to the southeast. And it was literally breathtaking.
Raymond-8, Steven-19, Daniel 4 and Joe at the summit of Pike's Peak. The view is to the east.
It was brisk up there, not quite 50 degrees F and even colder with the wind chill factor. My lungs felt over inflated as I was trying to get some oxygen out of the thin air. We went into the building at the top to get out of the wind and enjoyed the special over 14,000 feet altitude recipe donuts after singing "Happy Birthday" to Raymond.
Raymond also earned his Junior Ranger badge and whistle from Pike's Peak. We went back to the van after briefly enjoying the view, and Raymond opened his gifts. The lack of oxygen and pressure change began to get to Joe and the boys, so we made one last trip into the Summit House, bought a couple of t-shirts, mugs, postcards and a bear with a donut magnet and then we headed back down the mountain. The day before we went up, the Pike's Peak Hill Climb Race was held. Last year, a record was set for 10 minutes and 1 second to the summit, a 19 mile ride with many hairpin turns and steep grades. It had taken us an hour to get to the top and we didn't stop on the way up.
We did stop several times on the way down. Once to play in the snow at 12,820 Ft. El., once at Glen Cove (11,450 Ft. El.) and lastly at the Chrystal Creek Reservoir (9,377 Ft. El.).
When we were at the summit, Steven filled two water bottles with 14,110 Ft. altitude air. By the time we made it down to Glen Cove the were already collapsing with the pressure change. While at Glen's Cove, I filled another empty water bottle with air from that altitude.
Tuesday was our last day in the mountains, and we returned to Pike's Peak. We visited Santa's Workshop at North Pole, Colorado located at 7,500 Ft. El. on the side of Pikes Peak Mountain.
Joe Daniel and Sheila on Sky Ride Daniel and Raymond at the North Pole. It stays frozen 365 days a year.After our seven and a half hour visit at Santa's place, we drove through Garden of the Gods to say good-bye to the mountains and then we headed to Limon for the night. We stayed in a motel there with an indoor pool. Joe and the boys swam until 11:30 our time and then got up the next morning and swam until check-out time. We stopped in Hays for a late lunch/early dinner. Then we drove home and made it in the driveway at about 8:50 p. m.

Just for something a little different: here is a beach sunrise photo from my vacation last week.
I'm in one of those weird in between stages in my writing. I have a book I'm querying that's on it's fourth draft (or possibly closer to twentieth draft, depending on what part you're looking at.) I just finished a second draft of another book that I need to walk away from for a while, and I have an idea for a new book.
The thing is I'm so vested in my other two projects that I don't really want to start anything new. Or maybe I'm just being lazy-that's always a possibility.
I feel like I have a ton of things going on and a million things I could do (should do?) but I'm not interested in a single one of them. I'm in one of those negative moods that I either need to decide I won't accept and start working no matter how I feel or let the mood take me for the evening and just have a good old fashioned lazy day.
Right at the moment, I'm leaning towards the Lazy Day. After all, I need to find out who won The Glee Project.
And one more, just for the colors (it was worth the lack of sleep):

SSL Redirect is a fairly simple WordPress plugin designed to redirect HTTP connections to an equivalent HTTPS URL in an efficient way with minimal external configuration required.
Features / Functionality
- Requires no modifications to server configuration.
- Functions on individual sites in a multisite installation without impacting other sites.
- Performs SEO-friendly HTTP 301 redirections, rather than relying on Javascript or <META> tag interpretation.
- Supports a strict opt-in list of domains where SSL redirection is applied.
- Detects direct SSL connections as well as connections proxied through a remote SSL termination service.
Download / Browse / Clone
Git @ Darkware: darkware:/projects/WPT/repos/ssl-redirect
This is the development repository for SSL Redirect. It is the most likely to contain the most recent code changes. It's also the most likely to include minor bugs.
Github: github:darkware-dev/ssl-redirect
This is a more stable version of the Darkware git repository. It receives pushes from the same source, but the most recent versions are likely to see more testing.
Does the world really need another plugin to handle SSL redirections in WordPress. Maybe. In searching for something simple to handle HTTP-to-HTTPS migration for another site, I ran across a number of plugins that seemed to accomplish what I wanted. However, none of them seemed to miss the mark in one place or another.
While it did seem like a rather low-probability situation, the problem didn't feel complex and there was no reason why the solution for this minor case wouldn't be applicable to the much larger audience. A few hours of work later, I had something that covered most of what I wanted.

A drive past Summit Hills Country Club on Turkeyfoot Rd. will take you in the direction of The Golf Courses at Kenton County. The first course, Pioneer, very much a beginners type course (save one mighty exception at hole 16) and was built in 1968. The next course, Willows, is adjacent to the Pioneer course. I'm not sure what year it opened, but it is an Arthur Hills design. Willows is a more difficult course than Pioneer, mostly due to the tough back 9.
When you play Fox Run, you sign in at the clubhouse next to the parking lot. But to actually get to the Fox Run course, you have to take what feels like a 5-10 minute cart ride; passing Willows' 18th hole. Fox Run has its own driving range and its own mini-clubhouse.
The course opened in 1992 and is the newest of the courses at the Kenton County complex. Like Willows, Fox Run also was designed by Arthur Hills. Fox Run may very well be the toughest public golf course in the Cincinnati area. There are not many flat areas on the course, so slope and elevation must be taken into account on each shot. The course has its fair share of tough golf holes, but a couple that are just unfair in my eyes. More on that later.
The Course
The 421 yard first is probably the most level hole you will play all day. The fairway is fairly wide and inviting, with bunkers on the right for those challenging the hole with driver. It's important to get a good score on this hole, because the of the other remaining holes don't get much easier.
Once you hit the par 4 2nd (403 yards), you get an idea of what the rest of your round will be like. Hilly and not many level lies. A grassy area in the middle makes the fairway more narrow than it appears.
Things narrow up a bit at the par 5 3rd. It won't be the last hole with a narrow shoot, but the fact that the hole is 530 yards doesn't help.
The next few holes have a common theme. The fairway runs out, requiring a forced carry to the green. Both par 3s on the front 9 require a forced carry of some kind, though the punishment for missing the green on 7 is less than that of 4.
The front 9 closes with a 341 yard par 4 that, in my humble opinion, is not fair. A very narrow fairway that can't be more than 15 yards wide, with a creek running along the right side. If you aim it safe towards the hill on the left, you're left with a severe lie with the ball below you're feet; plus, the walk to your ball as this hole is cart path only.
Off the tee, 12 appears intimidating. However, each time I've played this course, a playing partner has birdied it. It's very uphill, and anything short will leave a blind approach (and quite a walk from the cart path). Play long, as the green is larger than it appears.
Your one break on the back 9 really comes at the 14th. Although it is a 570 par 5, its large fairway is very forgiving. It may be a three-shot par 5, but it's a good opportunity for birdie. Or at least, a level lie.
My opinions on 17 (par 4, 402 yards) have varied throughout the years. Originally, I felt as strongly about this hole as I do 9 and 18. As I've played the course multiple times, I don't feel as strongly about the hole. That being said, it's not a good hole. The player must be careful on the tee-shot not to over do it. The approach must be very precise, as there's not a lot of room for error to the narrow green. Right is completely dead and left doesn't leave a lot to bail out.
The 18th hole is simply a joke. No nice way of saying it and a really bad ending to a course that's really not that bad. There's enough room to place a 3 wood or hybrid in the fairway area. But then you have to cross a lake and hit an approach into a sliver of fairway and to a sliver of green. If the fairway were a bit wider, it would be somewhat similar to the 18th at Stonelick Hills, which I don't really have a problem with.
Maybe I'm a bit harsh on Fox Run. On the whole, it's a good course. It's not one I can really recommend to anyone outside the city of Cincinnati though. If you're looking for a challenge, you can find it at Kenton County Golf Courses. While I think the Willows back 9 may be the toughest in the Cincinnati area, the Fox Run course as a whole is tougher than Willows as a whole.
Things are generally in good shape, but it's probably best to play Kenton County earlier in the season (April/May). I've seen a handful of times where rough weather leads to rough conditioning in July/August; more so than I would say is acceptable. I actually had a couple of August events cancelled at Kenton County because the greens got so bad. But then again, I had an event in May and it was fantastic. So choose your visit wisely.

Rating: 2/5
I bought this because a lot of people had recommended it and praised it. I hadn't really heard anything negative about this book. So I was excited to read it, but sadly, it didn't live completely up to my expectations.
I liked the setting, but I'll admit to being highly confused at points. Granted, complicated fantasy settings have always confused me, so it could just be me. But once I got settled into a setting, I liked it. It fit well. It was the transitions that got me confused the most, though.
Overall, I didn't love the characters. Throughout, I thought they were just okay. At times I would start to like them, but then I would get pulled away from them and stop caring. I didn't really start to care until the end, which I wished wasn't the case. I liked Katsa and Po the most, but I wished Katsa was a bit more developed. I never truly felt connected to her. And same with Po. And I hardly cared for (or even was able to distinguish) the minor characters. The characters were just okay for me.
I'm not really a fan of Cashore's style, I'll admit. While she does have some nice imagery and fluidity at times, I felt she had way too many "She" sentences. It made me lose interest a lot of times because nearly every sentence in a paragraph (and sometimes on a whole page) would start with "She." And she interrupted the dialogue too much for me. Instead of letting the characters say a complete sentence, she'd stop mid-sentence and drop a "she/he said" and then continue the sentence. It took me out of the story a lot. Also, I don't think the voice and dialogue were consistent. At times, they were modern, as though an everyday person was speak, but then they'd start talking like back in the medieval days. It felt out of place a lot of the times, so I was never able to really grasp the language or the sounds of the characters.
In the beginning, I wasn't sure about the plot. There were some intriguing scenes happening, but then I lost interest (almost completely) for about 50-60 pages. After that, though, it started to pick up and I finished it in one setting. There were some scenes I loved, and the further I got into it, the more I started to love it. I think some of the stuff could have been drawn out more vividly and other things cut back a bit. And I wasn't too sure how I liked the ending. I felt it was too abrupt. Interesting, but abrupt. Overall, though, I liked the plot. It was original, and it held some very intriguing elements.
Will I read it again? Maybe; things might make more sense. Did I like it? Some of it. I just didn't connect with the writing, and that's my biggest pet peeve.
