Susan Ayn has come to the massage parlor to see what they can do for her, and after choosing the oil massage option she gets her sexy self ready to relax and have a sensual, oily massage, but this is Orgasmatics, and her satin blouse wearing masseuse is going to give her way more than she was expecting! Susan gets her white outfit oiled down, top and bottom, which turns the masseuse on so much that she wastes no time reaching for that pretty pussy, pulling it out, playing with it, and then busting out the Magic Wand vibrator which provides a more intense massage than Susan has ever had! From there it's all about the pussy licking and keeping the vibrator going, and even though Susan is the customer they're both going to leave this session incredibly satisfied! Recommend this Orgasmatics service to your friends!

When the Antares rocket exploded on the launchpad last week, a lot fingers pointed towards its 70s-era Soviet engine. Indeed, Orbital Sciences now confirms a malfunctioning turboprop in the engine was the likely cause of the explosion. The company remains committed to fulfilling its space station resupply contract with NASA, though, likely by buying (newer) Russian rockets.

Conversations surrounding consent have not been few and far between. Many of these conversations center around what consent is, how to give it, is it gender-specific and so on. The start of the #metoo movement seemed to upend how our culture perceives and speaks to one another. The critical dialogue and continued dissection of consent will continue to evolve as we enter this new territory.
Inspired and motivated to take part in this all-important movement, Grip took on a passion project that centered around consent, hoping to dismantle preconceived notions (and uncomfortable questions) for young adults and inspire conversations about how to get and give consent. We created a website, Instagram account and awareness posters placed around the city of Chicago (have you seen them?!) to raise awareness in the targeted time frame of spring. We hooked up with local partners RAINN, KAN-WIN, and Rape Victim Advocates to kick off the project and, through word on the street, CAASE and Gyrls in the H.O.O.D joined the line-up. By utilizing approachable design (and emojis) the branding and design aesthetic appeal to teens as less, well, scary.

Author: Marissa Meyer
Genre: Young Adult | Sci-Fi | Romance | Fairytale Retelling
Publisher: Feiwel and Friends
Publication Date: November 10, 2015
Format: Physical
Source: Purchased
Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana.
Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won't approve of her feelings for her childhood friend—the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn't as weak as Levana believes her to be and she's been undermining her stepmother's wishes for years. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that's been raging for far too long.
Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters (goodreads)?
Most series enders wish they could be as epic as Winter!
Plot: Before diving into Winter I recommend giving the series, as a whole, a reread. I know your instinct will be "GIVE ME NOW," but trust me, you'll want the refresher. That being said, boy, is Winter epic! There was never a lull in the action and it was easy to lose an entire day to this book. Winter is a daunting 830 pages, but honestly it flies. This is in part that Meyer tells chapters from different perspectives and is constantly switching the teams up. Although Winter is Snow White inspired, I felt that the biggest retelling aspect of Winter was Queen Levana acting as the evil jealous step-mother. I would have liked more similarities between Snow White and Winter, but as a series ender, I have no complaints.
Characters: Jacin and Winter are my favorite couple in the entire series and I want MORE. I knew that I was going to love Winter from the first glimpse we got of her from Cress and Fairest only piqued my curiosity. I was sad that there didn't seem to be any more development in Winter that we hadn't seen in Cress. There was definitely more Winter as a person, but I wanted more exploration of her character. Regardless, she and Jacin pulled at my heartstrings and had me in tears a few times (if you wanted to make a Jacin/Winter novella Marissa, I would have NO qualms).
The old crew is back and I realized that one of my favorite aspects of The Lunar Chronicles is the genuine friendship between all of the characters. I loved their banter and just how loyal they were to each other.
World Building: If you've read Fairest, you've already gotten a glimpse of life on Luna, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. There were times where I couldn't help but compare Winter to the Hunger Games because the lifestyle on Luna was very similar to that of the Capitol: people in the palace living a lavish lifestyle while the outer sectors have rationed meals and basically live in a police state.
Short N Sweet: Winter is a satisfying conclusion to a beloved series, I'm just sad to see it go.
Now that that's over...
I really love Winter and Jacin. Like I REALLY love them. I love the whole idea of falling in love with someone of a different station that yourself and Jacin's dedication to Winter is out of this world.
Last week I was feeling nostalgic and going through all the bands I was obsessed with during my high school and university years. I came across Wolftron's Mare Crisium and I couldn't stop thinking about how it described Winter and Jacin's relationship. AND HOW FITTING IS THIS, MARE CRISIUM IS ACTUALLY ON THE MOON SOOO FATE.

FACT (Fabrication And Construction Team, a student design-build workshop,) in collaboration with Min | Day, often works with non-profit arts organizations. The Salina Art Center runs a community-based program of exhibitions, performances, films (in its cinema) educational activities and maintains a residency for one artist at a time. FACT began a long-term relationship with the Salina Art Center in 2010 with a master plan to guide the updating and expansion of its facilities. In fall 2011 FACT built and installed Phase 1, a series of cabinetry / wall units and fabricated a set of modular "PenTables" for the ARTery, the SAC's public art education space in the facility's primary public lobby. The space serves multiple purposes from exhibition and education to public dialogs and dinners. FACT students collaborated with local craftsmen and inmates in the Lincoln Correctional Center to complete this project.

Human beings are biologically programmed to evolve – to become 'Smarter, Faster, Higher'. Technology has given us new tools with which to accomplish this end. We can potentially increase our mental capacity by simply opening a laptop. However, as far as we may seem to have come from our roots in the natural world, technology mirrors nature in the way it evolves using replication. Artist Elizabeth Keithline, in collaboration with Jeff Keithline, has created a full scale woven wire installation for the Schwartz Gallery.

At this morning, I spent some time at Josey Ranch Lake. It has been almost four months, I visited the park the last time. I noticed, there were a lot less water bird present at the lake and the pond. A couple of swans, some ducks, Canada geese, pigeons, grackles, a yellow-crowned night heron and a few songbirds were there.
Coming back from the pond, I went to the Natural Area next to the Carrollton Public Library. The garden looks beautiful. And who worked on it, did an amazing job. The area is flourishing with wildflowers. It looks like a small patch of the Blackland Prairies. A little bunny took cover under a big sunflower leaf, when it started to drizzle. Resting on a bench, I didn't care that I got wet. Before I walked back to the lake to get to my car, I had to take this view in being surrounded by beautiful nature.

Turns out there's a reason the mantra went, "Peace, love, and flower power," and not, "Peace, love, and compression hose."
Even the original hippies, who did so much LSD they can't even remember the entire decade, had enough sense not to wear anything like this.
Anyway. The Hubster was his usual compassionate self (and by compassionate, I mean putting his beer within easy reach in the fridge so I didn't have to bend over when I fetched it for him).
I had to have an electrocardiogram prior to surgery, and you can imagine my surprise when the test showed that I had suffered a heart attack at some point in the past. (This is not such great health news, but it is an excellent parenting tool for guilt inducement. "Are you TRYING to give me another heart attack?!") I should have known better to expect concern when I told Hubster about the test. His response to the news was to clutch his chest and yell, "Haht attaak!" a la the late Chris Farley's Saturday Night Live character, a Chicago sports fan having a major cardiac event.
My sister wasn't much better. She asked me if I had kept the removed parts for posterity, and that I should have had them bronzed.
No worries. The tradition of the Christmas Pickle is a lovely one, but you'll never come to our house and hear, "Hey, there's a special surprise for the first person who finds TC's ovaries on the tree!"

Although their biological dad has disappeared, Michele Weldon's three sons have not been fatherless. Weldon believes the men who have stepped-in to act as substitute dads have generously embraced her sons with love and served as valuable role models.
My late father was a prince of a man, unapologetic for deceiving all six of his children into believing each one was his favorite. I expected nothing less for my three sons than to be adored by their father.
This was not to be.
My former husband's disappearance played out incrementally over the last fifteen years since our divorce. Now it is complete; he has vanished. A phantom parent living overseas, he has no contact with our sons, now aged twenty-one, nineteen, and sixteen.
Over time, my fury about their paternal loss has cooled. The anger that once felt flammable has been replaced by a sense of gratitude to a number of gentle and forthright men who willingly elect to take part in the lives of my boys.
I believe a father is born from many strangers.
My oldest son had two English teachers who guided him and his pinballing emotions through middle and high school. But it is his beloved high school wrestling coach who has been his fervent mentor and life guide. Between push-ups and takedowns, Coach Mike Powell offered my son his heart and earned his trust, a gift he is reluctant to share. Now in college, my son still calls Coach Powell with good news before he calls me.
For my middle son there is not only this same wrestling coach, but a cast of uncles whom he respects, admires, and emulates. He will listen to my brother Paul when my words are no longer heard. It is Uncle Mike, my sister's husband, who helps him with his chemistry and takes him on long walks. For a time Uncle Mark, their father's brother, appeared at tournaments and football games to cheer for each nephew. Two years in a row, he drove 150 miles to the state tournament to see my oldest wrestle.
My youngest found a youth football coach he imitates and respects. "I want Coach Tim to be my dad," he announced midseason of seventh grade. Though I explained that his coach had his own family, he countered that Tim was exactly the kind of man he would want as a father—funny, affectionate, tough, and in possession of his own Super Bowl ring. But now my youngest son is wrestling as well, and Coach Powell has once again moved to the dominant spot of influence.
It is not just teachers, coaches, and uncles who populate this volunteer father club, but also men like the friend who once quietly left a $50 bill in the pocket of the blue cashmere overcoat he gave my oldest to wear to a formal dance.
As their mother working fervently to answer their needs, I frequently feel overwhelmed with what I must do to ensure I raise these men well. I am charged with lassoing their strong wills so they can know success without being derailed by youthful mistakes. Relief from my panic arrives with every gesture of goodwill from these generous souls.
No one fills the shoes of a father. But the footprint that the man who fathered them left behind does not have to stay empty. I find it a profound act of selflessness that each of these men has chosen my sons, and a blessing that my sons have chosen them. In some ways, this is my boys' declaration of independence from abandonment. These men who are not required to care—but do—convince my sons they are worthy of being loved.
Michele Weldon is an assistant professor at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism and is the author of several nonfiction books. A journalist for more than thirty-two years, Weldon leads writing workshops around the country and speaks on issues related to media and women. She is the mother of three sons.

It is not often that you can say you work with prize winning vegetables, but I now can, we got a first at the Northiam Horticultural Society Summer Show for our Red Leaf Lettuce, also first with our Artichokes and a second prize for the Sweet Peas, if this does not bring the people in, I am not sure what will.
Month: June 2013
We must have had some French visitors who posted this poster on the fruit cage, I do think they must have felt I should go to this Tomato event in France to learn how to grow them, maybe what I need, a Tomato 101 class. I have to say the plantshave also got as tall as two inches, watch this space…..
Run to seed
It seems that the best way to deal with American Land Cress when it runs to seed is to take it out and start again in the late summer, we did try and cut it back when it ran to seed but it has come up about an inch tall and already has flowers, It really is a great crop to grow for greens in the winter as it seems to get good strong taste with the cold, just cover it from pigeons. Last year the seed for this was sown on 15/08/12, Thompson and Morgan sell the seed.
We had a day of sorting out in the High Garden, the last of the winter salad which has done us very well up till now has gone to the compost, it was about to break into flower, that is always a sign it is ready to be cut back or taken out and since we now are getting lots of good summer salad, we took it out, it made way for another three rows of summer crops, they are Spinach 'Tetona F1 Hybrid', from Thompson and Morgan, Florence Fennel F1 'Rondo' from Moles Seed and Beetroot 'Boltardy also from Thompson and Morgan. If this sowing of Spinach takes it will be the first lot this year for us.
We planted Basil 'Sweet Green' on the 27/03/13 and it took a rather long time to get going but it come up and then seemed to sit again, last week it was time to move them onto the plug trays , what I found was a lot of plants with a very weak root system, most had to be put on the compost, I did get 98 small plants, I am going to try and grow them different this year. I will water them every three days, the days between I hope they will dry out, my only worry is, what are the plants going to do when out in the soil, will the summer be too cold for them? I love fresh Basil but find it hard to get going on our heavy soil.
The use of fleece is something I have been thinking a lot about of late, with this new weather pattern it maybe needed to get things moving, it was brought home to me yesterday while walking around the walled vegetable garden at Gravetye Manor with Tom, and seeing just how well his crops are doing, not only does he have the heat from the walled garden, you really do feel it when you walk in the gates but he uses fleece for a lot of his crops, I was very happy with how well the Parsnips are doing here till I saw his, at least a month ahead of mine. My major problem with fleece is the look it gives the garden, we have so many more people here but I may have to rethink the whole thing next year.
Why do we grow soft summer fruit in a Fruit Cage, it seems that we use it not only to stop birds but also dogs from eating Toms strawberry's, we went over to have the look at the garden at Gravetye Manor and to see how well Tomato King is getting on, very well, I would hate him to see mine. I had the dogs with me, we went to have a look at the fruit in the cage and Miscanthus took a liking to a ripe strawberry, I had to hold back to get one myself (get someone to ask Tom a question and he turns his back, that is the moment to pick), Tom holds all the fruit and veg for the kitchen, lucky them.

For Immediate Release
Verbier, 8 December 2014
The first Verbier Mobility Investment Forum
opens the way for sustainable mobility in mountain areas
The first Verbier Mobility Investment Forum was held at a brisk pace on Friday 5 December in Verbier. The Forum was organised under the umbrella of the Verbier Institute and in partnership with the Commune de Bagnes. It gathered a group of fifty experts and practitioners engaged in mobility and more specifically sustainable mobility. Participation was by invitation only.
This expert group exuded optimism and positive energy and demonstrated great confidence in the ability of new technologies to make sustainable mobility happen, in particular with respect to electric vehicles, car sharing and ride sharing.
Keynote speakers, Eloi Rossier – President of the Commune de Bagnes – and Pascal Bovey – mobility delegate from the Valais Canton – both highlighted that enhanced public transport is the cornerstone of sustainable mobility. Shared mobility solutions and new interfaces with the users, most often via smart phone applications, will develop around this cornerstone. Pascal Bovey stated the need to 'invent new synergies' to improve the complementarity between public and private transport and to combine 'creativity with pragmatism'.
«Google is now a key mobility player and is seen by the traditional mobility operators as their fiercest competitor. Beyond Google, many other players are entering the mobility space: Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Orange, as well as Total, EDF, RWE and many others», analyses Fabienne Herlaut (founder of Ecomobilité Ventures). New disruptive technologies and the development of the shared economy continue to improve users' experience across mobility markets.
Clean technologies and shared solutions can now easily be deployed commercially. The remaining challenge is to change mobility behaviours. This can be done through education (Eloi Rossier), bespoke marketing (Doctor Michael Themans, EPFL), the right balance between incentives and bans and limitations (Professor Giuseppe Pini, director of the Mobility Observatory at the University of Geneva) and first and foremost through positive individual experiences. Olivier Paturet from Nissan Europe states that 'more than 90% of electric car users declare complete satisfaction. Once drivers have overcome the psychological barrier, they never go back'.
Beyond the creation of a European platform for sustainable mobility, the Verbier Institute seeks to use the Forum to generate local pilot projects. An interactive workshop was held to this effect and the first three projects selected were:
- Launch a baseline quantitative mobility study to measure mobility flows and validate the user segmentation, in order to underpin the design of mobility projects and enable the measurement of their future impact against such base line;
- Create a shared vision around sustainable mobility between public and private actors in Val de Bagnes and beyond, and educate and communicate around this vision;
- Design a 'zero last mile' project to lift the last mile constraint which often dictates the use of private cars from origin to destination.
The Verbier Institute is delighted to announce that subsequent to this Forum it welcomes two new founding members: Téléverbier SA the operator of the skiing infrastructure in Verbier and The W hotel in Verbier. Pierre-Henri Bovsovers, managing director of the W Verbier, highlights: «Sustainability is very important at Starwood and it is part of or our day to day business. W Verbier is very proud to be a founder partner of Verbier Institute as this fits perfectly with our long term strategy».
The Verbier Institute also announces that, further to the Forum, it will organise an electric vehicle testing day in Verbier during the 2015 winter.
So stay posted for the next steps!
The event programme is available at: http://verbieri.com/launch‐event/verbier‐investment‐forum‐mobility/
Find the key speakers on http://verbieri.com/launch‐event/verbier‐investment‐forum‐mobility/speakers/
The Verbier Institute is a foundation in the making and is incubated by incubated by Botza (an organisation for the promotion of environmental activities and projects based in Verbier). The Verbier Institute focuses on performance, innovation and impact.The commune de Bagnes is a partner of the Verbier Institute. For further information, please visit www.verbieri.com

A Q&A With Drs. Maida Chen and Michelle Garrison
Sleep is one of the most common concerns divulged to family providers. While parents most often ask for advice related to young children, Seattle Children's sleep experts Drs. Maida Chen and Michelle Garrison suggest providers treat the entire family when addressing sleep issues.
Read on to learn more.
Thank you to Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, Chief of Digital Innovation for Children's and author of the Seattle Mama Doc blog, for submitting these questions.
How does parents' sleep impact the rest of their family?
Dr. Michelle Garrison, principal investigator, Seattle Children's Research Institute: Sleep problems between family members are often
interconnected, so providers should look beyond the sleep habits of a specific child and consider what's going on in a family unit.
When sleep isn't going well, it can create what I call a "feedback loop of despair." When children aren't sleeping well, it can affect parent sleep as well – and then the next day, the child's behavior can be worse and parents may have less capacity for parenting the way they want to, because they are both tired. And in turn, those effects on behavior and parenting can make bedtime even harder the next time, and you have a feedback loop.
But families can also turn that around and develop a "positive feedback loop," and helping parents get more sleep can sometimes be t
he first step. As parent sleep improves, parenting often goes more smoothly, and it can increase their capacity for making positive choices like being physically active or sharing a healthy meal with their family. They're more likely to manage their temper and practice good role modeling for handling emotions, and have an easier time staying calm and consistent when responding to bedtime resistance. In turn, that improves the child's sleep, which has a positive effect on the child's behavior and emotion regulation, which all can feed back in to make parenting feel more rewarding.
Another thing to remember is research has found parents who sleep poorly tend to overestimate their children's sleep problems. Sleep loss causes bias in their memory, so that the less sleep parents get the more they focus on negative events. The less they sleep, the less they think their children do.
Dr. Maida Chen, director of Children's Sleep Disorders program: Children need a complete and whole version of their parents and that requires adequate sleep.
Society often portrays parents' lack of sleep as heroic. We ought to adjust that mindset. Parents need to sleep to be their child's best advocate and role model.
Getting an adult to change their sleep habits requires a shift in mindset. Providers may help start a conversation by asking parents, "Who are you helping when you're sleep deprived? Who benefits from this?"
Families often ask about infants' and toddlers' sleep, but what advice should providers offer at well child check-ups for school-age children and teenagers?
Dr. Chen: When possible, providers should take the time to ask parents of children of all ages the open-ended question: How is your family sleeping?
I know there are usually a million other, more acute things that have to be addressed in a 15-minute appointment, but sleep problems are so common and affect so many aspects of health and illness, so I hope that providers will prioritize this topic.
Just the perception of a sleep problem, even if it can't be illustrated by sleep study or other objective measure, can have a significant impact on the family as a whole.
Dr. Garrison: Sleep is a developmental skill. Being able to lay down, calm down and fall asleep quickly and independently for a good night's sleep requires practice, and sometimes coaching, throughout childhood and adolescence.
We often expect children to suddenly switch from having their parents regulate their sleep to managing it on their own. But in reality, children need their parents to gradually step back so they can slowly increase their own responsibility around sleep in a supported way, similar to Ellyn Satter's "Division of Responsibility in Feeding."
Teens often stay up later than their parents, so they have an increasing responsibility to regulate their own sleep onset. This kind of self-regulation is a skill they need to learn, and it may not happen intuitively. Many youth need parents to help them learn to self-monitor and respond to signs that they are becoming tired, and to make the connections between good sleep and their own goals (whether that's school, sports performance, or personal relationships) that can help develop the motivation for going to bed.
Age-based recommendations for sleep have varied over the last few years. Why have they changed? What should we know about recommendations for quantity of sleep?
Dr. Chen: Physiologically, nothing has changed, but our awareness of what sleep deprivation looks like across the age spectrum has developed.
The main shift has come in older children. We used to think teenagers needed the same amount of sleep as adults, but research has revealed manifestations of chronic sleep deprivation in teenagers – sleeping only seven to eight hours each night – of which we weren't previously aware.
We used to look for signs of sleepiness in teenagers – like falling asleep at school – but now we know that's actually a pretty late sign of sleep deprivation.
Studies published in recent years have shown teenagers who chronically get less sleep demonstrate risky behaviors such as being sexually promiscuous, abusing drugs or getting in car crashes.
We used to think of this as typical, precarious teenage behavior, but we've learned over time that sleep deprivation influences decision making and leads to poor judgement.
Let's talk melatonin use and safety – how should we think about advising use for young children, school-aged children, teens and adults? Is there a duration of use you are comfortable recommending?
Dr. Chen: Evaluating the safety of melatonin is complex. At a very high level, occasional melatonin use is most likely relatively safe, otherwise it would not be widely available over the counter.. There are definitely situations in which short term use – for things like jet lag – are safe and appropriate.
My concern comes from the reason behind wanting to give melatonin – many parents request it to treat a child's insomnia, but melatonin is just a band-aid, it does not address what usually are much deeper issues.
Additionally, short-term use is rarely well defined. It's usually thought of as "until things get better," and then that turns out to be years.
Dr. Garrison: There is no great data on the long-term safety of melatonin and there is conflicting evidence about possible negative effects – especially the impacts on hormones during puberty.
For many families, that's enough reason not to use melatonin long-term, unless a child has neurologic issues that make it harder for the brain to respond to light cues in the environment with stable endogenous melatonin patterns.
There are two ways melatonin supplements are typically used. Most commonly, parents give a big dose before their child falls asleep, and it has a sedating effect. However, some studies are finding it can be more effective to administer much smaller doses much earlier – five hours before bed time – to support the body's own melatonin rhythms.
Can you give us an update on screens, blue light, and sleep onset?
Dr. Garrison: There are several ways in which media use affects sleep, and there is variability across people. Some people might be more vulnerable to the circadian effects of the light emitted while others might be more vulnerable to the arousal effects of the content.
Research has shown using multiple media devices or apps at once does seems to increase arousal levels in the brain and makes it harder for people to calm down and sleep well.
We also know that most screen devices today are blue-light enriched – meaning the light coming from these screens has stronger intensity in the blue end of the spectrum. That part of the spectrum most disrupts melatonin and circadian rhythms. Even relatively low levels can potentially disrupt sleep, especially when they are used near bedtime.
Research has shown that blocking blue light 1-2 hours before bed can benefit sleep. If you have a child that is going to be on screens at night, think about recommending glasses or goggles that block blue light. Now that professional video gamers sometimes use these, it can be easier to get teens on board. There are also apps and devices that can reduce blue light from gadgets, but they be only partially effective.
Dr. Chen: Even as little as ten minutes of exposure can suppress melatonin for up to 30 minutes, so what can seem innocuous – like checking social media – may result in up to a one-hour sleep delay.
For teenagers, that light exposure may be synergistic with their natural tendencies to stay up later. If you put a light source in front of their brain it almost gives their brain an excuse to stay up later.
What do we know now about improving sleep onset and issues with sleep latency?
Dr. Chen: Healthy sleep is a lifestyle and not something that can be quickly applied with instant results. For patients who have long-standing habits and difficulties falling asleep, there is not one quick fix.
That's one reason why sleep medications are so rampant, because people are looking for a magic bullet. They want to be able to be on their phones, watching TV or working on their computer – all things we know keep us awake – and then flip a switch and fall asleep.
We need our patients to understand that sleep onset and sleep maintenance are based on an intricate series of connections in your brain that need to be primed over time.
Any there any "golden rules" providers should be recommending?
Dr. Chen: Patients should try to stick to a sleep schedule. It's important to maintain both sleep quantity and regularity. People benefit from not varying their bedtimes or wake times by more than one hour on each end.
We know our entire body works off a master circadian clock and that every cell also has its own circadian clock. When you practice healthy sleep, the master clock and the cellular clocks align. When sleep schedules become irregular, the clocks don't synch the body is thrown into chaos.
Dr. Garrison: We know bedtime consistency matters with toddlers – but that consistency is just as important in teens and adults, and can make a big difference in being able to fall asleep quickly and soundly.
For children still napping, the time span between the end of a nap and bedtime should be the longest awake stretch of day. There are two different processes in the brain that drive whether we're going to be able to sleep or not – the circadian sleep drive and the homeostatic sleep drive, which keeps track of how long it's been since you've last slept. If the homeostatic sleep clock has not had enough time to build up strength again, you're going to have a hard time falling asleep, even if the nap was short.
When should patients be referred to a sleep specialist?
Dr. Chen: If a family has to go through extraordinary efforts to manage their sleep and common, logical advice isn't gaining any traction, providers should probably delve into the issue further.
To refer a patient to Children's Sleep Disorder program please call (206) 987-5072.

For the past week I have been using a companion application for my iPhone 5 that goes beyond what iTunes has to offer.
When you first launch Wondershare MobileGo for iOS you will plug your iDevice up to your USB cable (just as if you're using iTunes). It will detect your iPhone/iPad/iPod and then you have a ton of options at your fingertips.
From backing up photos to even texts (sms – yes I said backing up your TEXTS!!!) importing/exporting songs (this is my favorite fave fave)!!! Along with your playlists, contacts (import/export – outlook/windows mail along with the usual). This makes iTunes so much more – more than just managing your purchases of apps and iCloud items. Wondershare MobileGo for iOS is the perfect companion to iTunes and worth the investment if you use your iPhone/iPad/iPod the way I do (or even if you're a novice and just don't want to lose anything – like your pictures since we ALL take pictures)! This is a really simple program. I know too many people that get lost on iTunes and frustrated or have music issues (like me) ~ well not anymore!
When I first looked at the screen for Wondershare MobileGO for iOS I wanted to click on EVERYTHING! ALL AT ONE TIME! Okay, I controlled the urge and went straight to the TOOLKIT. I found exactly what I was looking for. CONVERT MUSIC! I worked off and on over the next couple of days converting my music that I had on my PC backed up from the days I had an awesome Android phone that was beyond it's time. It had a media software program on it and I had music – let me rephrase that: "I HAD A TON OF MUSIC" as in I had music from years previous that I had saved and stored on my PC in Windows Media and then music I had of course downloaded on my phone and saved for the day when something "easy" and "simple" would come along for me to use with iTunes so I could listen to some of my favorite tunes on my iDevice. Guess what. Now I can! I was able to easily click on the CONVERT MUSIC and find the folder(s) I had all my tunes stored in and started doing the conversion. It was fast and I was able to do it between the kids football/cheer practices and other daily tasks. Now I'm a happy camper and I've been able to export some of the transferred music I pulled off and converted through Wondershare MobileGo for iOS on my iDevice.
Wondershare MobileGo helps you save your texts:
Let's talk about SMS (texts). I have a TON of texts. Whether you realize it or not they take up a lot of room (especially if you have a lot of pix that way). I usually save my pix to my camera roll and then save it on my pc or share on social media (which is a lot easier with the new improved iOS7. Sometimes I just delete them but I hate doing that when an exchange is going on and the pic fits the text. Well, now I have an option of saving my texts. This comes in handy with certain conversations I have that I need to keep documentation from. I'm sure a lot of you have been there and sending an email to yourself can be a mess to read as it does NOT send that email in very easy to read way – it is horrendous in my opinion. With Wondershare MobileGo for iOS you can choose which texts you would like to export (or click ALL) and what format (HTML, TXT and XML). When you look at your texts they look as they do on your phone (through Wondershare MobileGO for iOS). I prefer HTML (although TXT is fine as well – you can read it easily but if you have a lot the HTML is much easier in my opinion to follow and read along and the XML will leave the majority of you with a wha.wha.what is that – I just recommend not saving it that way). I have attached a picture of what it looks like on Wondershare MobileGO for iOS 7 and then in both HTML and TXT (it's an exchange with one of my kids – I was going to do one with the other that showed you the pictures they sent me, however; I needed to keep their privacy in mind and others that they were in the company of and nixed that idea. You will however, be able to see how simple and how different the HTML and TXT versions are and you can choose which works best for you or do both – just having the access and ease of use to do this without it being gibberish is worth its weight in gold especially since I have some correspondence that really needs to show how it was sent with date/time stamps etc and this works out perfectly for when that time comes).
To me contacts is very self-explanatory and as stated you're able to export and even import. You can de-duplicate as well which is again very simple and easy to do. From the TOOLKIT you're able to copy your iDevice to iTunes as well. You're also able to connect all of your iDevices and then share between them (so you don't have to have the same information on them for iTunes to work and share between them – if you want your iPhone and iPad to share photos but not contacts or music only instead of having to set up the same iTunes account and then go in and turn things off and on – on one after naming it differently but your ID is the same – it's just a pain IMO and even trying to explain it is a pain *lol* this way you can select what you need and put it on the other iDevice in a couple of clicks – time saving and simple (which I like simple)!!! In other words I want my kids to have SOME of my contacts and a few of my pictures but I don't want to sync their iDevice with mine and then make a mess on iTunes – I am able to simply transfer what I need to share between the iDevices and be done with it (thank you Wondershare MobileGo for iOS for being so inventive and intuitive on these options as you have saved me some headaches going forward in this area and more) and I look forward to now being able to do so much more outside of the box and not feeling constricted by what I can do/share and most importantly for me: SAVE!
Wondershare MobileGo for iOS is $40.00 (http://www.wondershare.com/ios-manager/ ) and is also available for Android: MobileGO for Android http://www.wondershare.com/android-manager/To me it is a sound investment and again a companion to and for iTunes that will expand what you're able to do with your iDevice. There is a demo that available and a free trial (I highly recommend you watch the demo). Now I'm off to put in my ear buds and listen to some great 80s tunes that I rocked out to in the day (giving away my age) that I thought I would never be able to listen to on my iPhone! ROCK ON!

Good news! We have 5 codes to hand out in a giveaway for Penelope's mates! Good Luck!

When a radio station engineer cares about how your stations appear in the NextRadio app, here's what happens:
- Listeners tune in and get a great visual experience – right on their phones
- Sales creates new revenue opportunities from in-app advertising campaigns
- Programming has an additional platform to promote their shows and talent
But stations need to look their best in NextRadio (and in the connected car!) And broadcast audio must be 100% sync'd to what's showing up.
That starts with you. And we know you're busy. So……
4 Steps – 20 minutes
Log on to TagStation and let's get this done.
(Note: All settings must be completed before you save them.)
Step 1:
Check alignment of audio and visuals
Album art should show up when a song plays. And a tasty pic of a Big Mac when the McDonald's spot runs. If a station's audio is on delay for any reason, everything can get jumbled up. Then listeners get confused, and salespeople get unhappy. We've seen stations that are off by 10, 20, even 30 seconds. So let's make sure your alignment is spot-on.
Step 2:
Make sure the station's Twitter handle is current and correct
A station's most popular Tweets show up in NextRadio's Newsfeed. And since Programming really likes the brand awareness that comes from those Tweets, let's double-check that all handles are up-to-date.
Step 3:
Grab somebody in Programming or Marketing and verify formats, logos, call letters and schedules
What shows up in the NextRadio app signals to listeners what the station is all about. It's not only a good idea to make sure your formats and station IDs are clearly displayed in the app, it's also easy to do. Go to the same page as in Step 2, double-check the settings, then have a look. Now's the time to make any changes you weren't told about. And maybe show your teammates how to make updates, too.
Step 4:
Set – but don't forget
After completing Step 3, everything should be hunky-dory. Inside the NextRadio app, station Tweets should be a-twittering. Album art should show up while songs play. Home Depot stuff should show up when Home Depot ads air.
From here on out, it's all a matter of maintenance. (We know.) Look, we're not saying it's a daily thing. More like a monthly thing. And again, takes about 20 minutes. Maybe less.
Oh, and let us know if you have any problems or questions. We're here to help you out.

2011 ACBW Day #4: Short's Brewing Company - Bellaire Brown
Short's Brewing Company - Elk Rapids, MI
Bellaire Brown - Classic American Brown Ale
5.2% ABV, 12 oz
This was my first go around with Short's Brewing Company, but I'll have to keep my eyes out for more of their beers around the greater Boston area!
The Bellaire Brown pours a rich, dark amber brown liquid, with hints of deep, dark red/maroon. It poured a short white foamy head, which melted almost instantly. It was somewhat hard to see, considering the beer was so dark, but you can see that it's mildly carbonated.
The aroma is rich, malty, and subtly sweet. It also has an essence of brown sugar and tones of caramel.
The flavor of the Bellaire Brown is bold and malty. The flavor definitely backs up the aroma, with its dark brown sugar notes. The beer actually reminded me of Smuttynose Brewing Co.'s Old Brown Dog Ale. The Bellaire is slightly crisp, but has a nice little bite to it.
The beer gives a moderate mouth feel, as you might expect from a hand crafted brown ale like this. The liquid coats the entire mouth, but finishes rather dry with a nice little aftertaste.
I give the Short's Brewing Company Bellaire Brown a medium drinkability level. It feels a bit heavy, so it may limit you to a few long necks, but this is a nice brown ale! I only purchased a single bottle; however, I could easily go back and pick up a full six pack.
If you have any suggestions on other beers by Short's Brewing Company, please let me know!

…and improve your chances of finding the perfect pair of glasses!

Visit the Quiksilver homepage and you will be asked to "Choose your theme: Surf - Skate – Snow". Welcome to the exciting world of Quiksilver, the brand that merges board sports with fashion. No matter where, if people are having fun on a board, Quiksilver will be there. Concrete, water or snow; a board is a board and fun is fun. Of course, you'll also want to look your best. And that has been Quiksilver's mission since 1969. Launched in Australia, the brand quickly conquered the world with its commitment to always being better than the rest. Following this deceptively simple principle, the company's founder, Alan Green, started his business by selling surfer shorts to surf shops on the Australian coast. Since then, Quiksilver has continued to beat the competition by a board-length, time and again winning markets through innovation. Be it new materials, surf wear for women, trendy snowboard wear or marketing, Quiksilver was always the first and best.
And Quiksilver is still the best. It's the world leader in sportswear for action sports like surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. On the way to the top, Quiksilver transitioned from being a pure surfer to becoming an expert in a wide variety of sports. Nowadays, a variety of brands call Quiksilver Inc. their home. Among them, the influential skater brand DC Shoes and Roxy women's wear. Even now, Quiksilver remains committed to the grassroots, sponsoring individual athletes, as well as organising events and competitions. Additionally, Quiksilver has launched an internet entertainment portal that offers waves upon waves of fresh videos, shows, blogs and magazines.
Even offering such a wide range of products and services has not stopped Quiksilver from remaining the world's most iconic board brand. The principle of always being better than competition has saved the brand from cheap, mass market products and thereby kept it a cut above its competitors. Of course, the brand now has much more to offer than just surfer shorts. Their massive product range caters to both surfers and non-surfers, the young and the young at heart. From socks to caps and every imaginable accessory in between, Quiksilver has you covered if you are looking for youthful, dynamic fashion. Men, women, boys or girls, active in board sports or not, Quiksilver has something for everyone.

"Playing for Change: Peace Through Music"
Click here to watch the video
I am following blogs of some very talented educators, and I saw this video posted on a colleague's website. As I was viewing it, it really touched me to see musicians from all over the world come together as one in their efforts to bring "change through music." I shared conversation with the person who posted this inspirational video, and I thought that it would be perfect to begin the year learning about our 5th grade theme, perspective: one's attitude toward something or in regards to something; a point of view. We will cover this throughout the year as we address how one's perspective might change through experiences.
Watch the video, listen to the lyrics of the song "Stand by Me," and reflect on the apparent diversity of the musicians, but also look deeper to gain insight on the importance of global unification: even though we are different in many ways, there are many commonalities that bring us together. I love how this video uses the common language of music to promote change in the stereotypes, prejudices, and oppression that not only plague the people of our very own city of Memphis, but also the people of the world.
What would the world be like if there wasn't diversity?
Why is it important to demonstrate the need to be accepting of others' differences?
How can you make a difference? In what ways can you positively influence others at school or in your community?
Make a connection to the video and relate it to something that you have experienced in your life.

Craft in Architecture: The Making of a Coffee Mill and a Study of Form Generation
Tunick, Joshua Eric
MetadataShow full item record
The connection of craft and architecture is a subject that has interested me since I began my architecture education some seventeen years ago. Although my path led me away from, then back to architecture, craft and making has remained a passion of mine through the years; specifically, the role of the individual craftsman in architecture. It is my contention that as we move further and further into a machine made world, we lose an understanding of, and an appreciation for variation. Everything in our lives is homogenous. People believe that coffee should taste the way that it does at Starbucks, and Starbucks became the monolith that it is by ensuring that their coffee tastes the same no matter where you are in the world. The craftsman never strives for homogeneity or simple duplication; it is anathema to his being. The cabinetmaker knows he will never find two pieces of wood that are the same, and he knows he can never produce two identical products, no matter his skill. He finds joy in this, and he is fulfilled. The barista, given control of the quality of the beansâ roast, the grind, the tamp, and the pressure of the extraction will never make two shots the same. This variation makes every cup a unique experience, and provides an endless opportunity to experiment and refine. I began with a house, and a study of how one generates form in architecture. I ended with a handcrafted coffee mill and portafilter. I utilized the craft of cabinetmaking that I have studied for over a decade, to produce tools for the barista to take full control of his craft. Whether a piece of furniture, or a shot of espresso - what the hands of a skilled craftsman can create when they are given the tools and the freedom to put their skills and intuition to full use, is something extraordinary, something unique, and something exceeding what the best machine can produce under ideal conditions. This is a lesson I strive to always remember, and one I endeavor to pass on to my children. Now more than ever this idea seems very much at risk of extinction.

For more information, please read the following.
Earthquake/Disaster Procedures
- Move away from any windows.
- Duck under a table or desk and hold on.
- Stand in a door frame.
The San Juan Islands do not frequently experience earthquakes, but the entire Puget Sound region is subject to an occasional "big one." Since most earthquake injuries are due to flying glass or falling objects, it is best to get under a strong structure like a table. Doorways are built stronger than walls, and are thus a safer place to be. Keep earthquake safety in mind when storing heavy objects on shelves or hanging heavy objects on the walls.
In the event of a major disaster (earthquake, fire, etc.), please assemble at the Fernald parking lot, Dining Hall or dock for aid, instructions and to account for all personnel. Emergency flashlights and blankets can be found in the Main Laundry Room. Please contact the caretakers at 360-378-3482 or 360-298-0220.
Fire & Firearms
Fire in FHL buildings and in the woods is a very real threat in all seasons. Never smoke in the woods or build fires outdoors. Fireworks are not permitted on FHL grounds. Please do not disable your smoke detector. If it beeps to signal the battery is low, please let the office know and a new battery will be installed immediately.
Please note that there is NO SMOKING in any building (including housing) at FHL. There are designated smoking areas marked on a campus map. Please be careful to extinguish all cigarettes in the ashtrays provided at these areas.
The burning of candles, incense or open flame producing items in residential units is prohibited.
Firearms are not permitted on campus without permission of the Director.
Labs and Lab Equipment
The FHL maintenance crew is responsible for the care of buildings and equipment. The supply of seawater is limited so please be conservative. An increase in flow to your seawater table will diminish pressure down the line. Please let the maintenance crew do any work on the seawater system. You can submit a Maintenance Request (Megamation) to report problems or to request changes.
When departing your lab space, please leave the laboratory at least as clean as you found it. Return organisms to the sea, preferably to the site where you collected them. Empty and clean all aquaria and seawater tables.
Additional information regarding the lab buildings and equipment can be found here.
The Stockroom
The FHL stockroom provides most reagents, labware, photographic materials, and small items of equipment at a nominal charge to students or investigators. Special orders can be placed for materials not on hand, large quantities or special equipment, preferably prior to arrival at FHL.
The Library
The library at the FHL is part of the University of Washington Libraries. Search for books using the UW Libraries online catalog and then check them out using the card found in the back of each book. Because materials are not checked out online, you are responsible for keeping the items for a reasonable amount of time and bringing all materials back to the library when finished.
A wifi network is available throughout our campus. All users must install the latest Security Updates for their operating system and have an up-to-date antivirus program before connecting. Wifi connections require a WPA password, which appears on your FHL Housing Sheet. Contact our IT staff in the Computer Lab if you have any questions regarding the security status of your computer before connecting to the network. In the meantime you may use the common-use computers found in the Lecture Hall, Library, or the Computer Lab Building.
The use of Limewire, BitTorrent or similiar programs are prohibited because they slow network performance and often involve infected or copyrighted files. Long-term residents should register the hardware addresses of all computers with our IT staff, so we can locate an infected computer quickly and correct the problem.
Boating and Diving
No one is permitted to use FHL rowboats or powerboats until they have been checked out by the Boat Safety Officer (BSO). No one is permitted to Dive at FHL until they have been checked out by the Dive Safety Officer. It is important that you review the Boating and Diving section of our website if you plan to use these resources at FHL.
Collecting Flora & Fauna
FHL endorses San Juan County's Marine Stewardship Areas. Visitors are asked to assist in protecting flora, fish and invertebrates through rigorous efforts to minimize harvest. More information and mandatory policies can be found under Research Policies.
Housing Arrangements
Before You Arrive (What to bring)
Friday Harbor is typically warm and sunny in summer, with chilly nights, and cool and often cloudy or rainy in spring, autumn and winter, although we enjoy a considerable number of warm, sunny spring days as well as an extended summer often into early October. In all seasons bring clothing suitable for chilly temperatures and rain, including perhaps a hat and gloves, as well as some lighter clothing; layering works well here. It is often colder than visitors expect. Students and researchers working in the field should also bring clothing suitable for foul weather field work, i.e. sturdy rain gear, rubber knee-high wading boots, etc.
Our stockroom sells basic supplies such as notebooks, pencils, paper, and lab supplies. (As required by UW, a fee of 14.4% is applied to all purchases.) You might want to bring a flashlight and a camera. For stockroom questions you may email: firstname.lastname@example.com
When you first arrive at FHL
Upon your arrival to FHL please check in at the first building to your right as you enter campus – Fernald. Your room assignment will be listed on the bulletin board outside the door to the Main Office or, for students, on a table set up in the foyer. Maps of the campus and the island will be provided, as well as some other helpful information for that first day at FHL.
Housing at FHL is automatically assigned by FHL staff for each accepted student; no action by the student is required to reserve housing at FHL after the student has confirmed their attendance at FHL. Student will be assigned to a double-occupancy dorm room. Students can request a roommate by email.
Descriptions of student housing can be found here.
FHL has limited capacity to house family members of students. Priority is given to faculty and researchers. If you would like your family to accompany you, please submit a request as early as possible to firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com.
Faculty, Researchers and Scholars
Housing arrangements are made through firstname.lastname@example.com or in the office. Please check your billing information and anticipated costs on your housing assignment sheet. And, if your plans change, please tell the office as soon as possible so your billing accurately reflects those changes.
Description of researcher and faculty housing can be found here.
Please report any breakage or problems with your housing to the office immediately. Our maintenance and custodial crews are resourceful and responsive and will assist you as soon as possible.
Linen Exchange & Laundry
There is a linen exchange for fresh sheets and towels in the main laundry room behind the Dining Hall every Fridays 8-8:30 AM.
FHL has coin-operated washing machines and dryers in the main laundry room and in Apartment building A: $2.00 per wash plus 25 cents for 7 minutes drying or about $1.50 total to dry a full load. (A change machine is available in the Laundry Room for quarters.) There is also a laundry line available just outside the Laundry Room Building.
Before You Leave
Please remember to remove your garbage and recycling. Also, wash and dry your dishes before departure. For those staying longer than 10 days, we ask that you clean your housing unit and leave it in at least as good condition as when you arrived. If you have been assigned lab space, please remove your belongings from your lab space and clean your sea tables prior to departure. If additional staff time is required for cleaning beyond what is ordinarily needed, you will be billed for extra time at a rate of $50/hour. If you were issued a key, may leave it in your unit or return it to the office. There is a $20.00 charge for lost keys.
Dining Hall Meal Cards
Students housed in dorms or huts at FHL are required to purchase the full-board meal plan (20 meals per week). There are no cooking facilities available in student dorms.
Faculty, researchers and scholars in units with kitchens will receive a meal card equivalent to two dinners per week in the Dining Hall per researcher or scholar. The program applies to anyone staying 4 days or longer in a duplex, cottage or apartment. The non-transferable meal cards will be issued upon arrival at FHL, or monthly for long-term residents.
Graduate students in units with kitchen facilities (not dorms and huts) will receive a meal card equivalent to one lunch per week. Meal cards can be used toward any meal, coffee, ice cream social, or other dining event in the Dining Hall. For meals in the dining hall, please sign up in advance, so the kitchen staff can plan food quantities for each meal.
You are welcome to purchase increased amounts on your meal card. Please check with staff in the main office to adjust your meal card accordingly.
Dietary Restrictions
Our Dining Hall does its best to accommodate people who prefer vegetarian dishes. However, the Dining Hall does not have the flexibility to provide for all types of vegetarian diets, so if you are strict vegan we suggest you bring a protein supplement with you.
There will always be fresh vegetables and fruits, and a non-meat main dish. If you declare yourself a vegetarian, you will not have the option to select the non-vegetarian dishes at random because, to minimize food waste, Dining Hall staff need to prepare known numbers of meat and meatless meals. You will have the opportunity to note your eating preference (meat or meatless meals) at your first meal.
Payment of Charges
Students are expected to pay for their tuition, fees, room & board prior to their arrival at FHL (and in some cases no later than 3 days after classes begin). More information regarding student charges can be found here.
We will accept payment by cash, check or credit card (MC/Visa) for all other charges before departure. Long-term visitors (non-students) will be billed monthly. Short-term guests may pay when they leave. The University of Washington levies a $25.00 fee for NSF checks. Guests from the University of Washington may have charges billed to a budget.

Maintaining the integrity of the recycle station is the responsibility of all its users. Everyone at FHL is urged to recycle using the procedures outlined below.
- Instructions are posted at the recycling areas. Please do not leave any other trash in the recycling dumpster. If you find the dumpsters full, please let the office know.

Bicycles, Cars, Other Vehicles on Campus
Bringing your bicycle is a good idea. Outside storage for bikes is provided with some shelter; bicycles are not permitted inside any of the buildings. Security is generally not a problem at FHL. If you have a particular concern for your bicycle under these conditions, we suggest you leave it at home. There are two places in Friday Harbor from which to rent bikes:
- Surina Business Park: 360-378-4555
- Island Bicycles: 360-378-4941
The Labs campus is primarily a walking and cycling place. Please drive with care and observe the speed limit of 10 MPH. Drive on the roads, not on the grass, and park in the designated parking areas. There is limited parking space on campus. Parking permits are not required and there is no parking fee. Please email the office your license number when you arrive on campus.
The University vans are available for class use only, not individual personal use.
There have been times when the Maintenance crew must move a vehicle to permit grounds work. So if you go on extended field work and are leaving a vehicle on campus, please leave your vehicle key with the Main Office.
