He is my first child so i am not really sure if im worrying for nothing. He walks aroind with a walker and holds on to things and walk. I can hold his hand or he hold my finger and walks but as soon as i let the hand go, he sits or goes down and crawl instead. Problem is, my inlaws are putting me under so much pressure with comments like, in their family no child gets to 12 months without walking. It is so painful and makes me worry even more. Is is too early to worry about this? how can i help/encourage him to walk? More: All ExpertsPaediatrician Expert's Reply A.Paediatrician You are doing more than enough already to assist your baby son to start walking. Most children only start walking at 13 or 14 months. Your son is already showing some encouraging signs that he is getting ready to walk.So just be patient, he will be walking quite soon.

Posted by: R | 2012/09/13 Don''t worry, your child will walk. If you start allowing those people to pressurise you now, imagine what its going to be like for the next 20 years of your childs life. Nxa!Just ignore them, or tell them off. Every child different.My first is now 5yrs and only walked after 14 months. A beautiful boy. The only problem we have is growing pains.My second is now 9 months and has no teeth yet, Its funny to see him chew everything, he will eat anyting in my hands, yet he has no teeth. I realise its taking longer to come out and am not worried. I will let him go through his milestones at his own pace, he may walk earlier than his brother, or it may even take longer.Good luck.

This article discusses how inclusion patterns mimic crystallographic symmetry.
One of the joys of gemology is the examination of fingerprint inclusions. Particularly when viewed in reflected light, they can shine the light fantastic.
The brightly-colored areas are actually trapped fluids. The cavities they reside in are tiny negative crystals, with miniature crystal faces that face inward, rather than out. Since they are crystal faces, they will have a symmetrical relationship to one another.
From the above, one can clearly see that fingerprints are far from random, but have patterns that relate intimately to the underlying atomic structure. Far from being flaws, they are just what the word suggests – fingerprints – features that are unique to that gemstone alone. No two are ever alike.

Now I know you guys and gals are all cool and own a BlackBerry. But I also understand that not all of your friends can be as cool as we are :-D
|Add SMS to BBM
I have friends with iphones, Android phones, and just regular dumb phones. My problem is, BBM is my favorite form of communication (next to a phone call).
Here are several methods of having BBM like conversations with your non-BlackBerry friends.
#1- Add your friend to BBM via their phone number. Since BBM 5.0/OS 5.0 users are able to add SMS right into BBM. To do this, click add a contact from inside BBM. Then select the third option (if its not there, its because you don't have OS 5.0) "Add a text messaging contact". This will place your friend in BBM, but is really just sending a text message to them. Be careful here, if you don't have a text messaging plan...you can get very carried away chatting not realizing every response is costing you 15 cents!
|Kik Chat
#2 in App world download Kik chat. http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/7084 . This is a cross platform IM program. It runs on most popular platforms including iphone and Android. You will have to create a user ID and add your contacts (you will need to know their user name). What I like about this program is it has the same D and R that we've all grown to love in BBM. Unfortunately it lacks the ability to send photos or videos or voicenotes. The developer is promising many of those features in the near future. Keep in mind that this program uses your data connection and not SMS/text so it should be free of charge to use.
#3 in App world download PingChat! http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/13211 . This is another cross platform IM program. It also runs on all major platforms. Again you will need to create a user ID and you must also know your friends user ID. Once added, you can link them with their contact card in your address book. This will assume any picture they have assigned to them in your address book as well. I found PingChat! to have more features (you can send pictures, and voicenotes ) but it lacks the D and Are of BBM, and somehow feels clunky and difficult to navigate. It does however, do what it says it will do, and that is allow you to send BBM like messages using your data connection (not SMS/text) to other smartphones for free.
Now all you have to do is convince your non BlackBerry friends to install the App of choice and you can begin to enjoy IM messaging across smartphone platforms!

If it means putting yourself in danger, do you have to come forward as a witness?
Teenager David Boone and his friend Robbie witness a brutal murder. Boone talks Robbie out of going to the cops, and a few days later, Robbie's killed in a drive-by. Boone and their friend Andre witness Robbie's killing, but neither is willing to talk to the cops. When Boone is wounded and Andre killed at Robbie's funeral, Boone is well and truly scared. Boone's classmates call him coward; his dad sends him to a therapist. Detective Rylander practically begs him for help, but it takes another, unrelated murder to prompt Boone to come forward as a witness. Award-winning, Canadian writer of teen thrillers McClintock tries her hand at the graphic format with mixed results. Boone's reasons for not coming forward are complex and interesting, but most of the supporting cast members are one-dimensional. The mystery Boone solves surrounding the unrelated murder will engage more than Boone's repeated resistance to being a witness. Deas' scratchy, mostly black-and-white panels look more like sketchbook filler than finished work; the characters are often hard to identify, and their emotions, not to mention ages, are difficult to gauge. However, the use of red as an accent in moments of violence is effective.
Bodies pile up around Boone like he's some teenage Jessica Fletcher, straining credulity but not sparking much interest. (Graphic thriller. 13 & up)

kate spade Kimberly Denim Dress
I couldn't resist. I know. I know. You're probably rolling your eyes at me. "Really? Another fit and flare dress, Emily?!" YES! When a dress is this cute, it just had to come home with me. I picked it up last month at the kate spade outlet. The collar is just so fun! (But I admit my hair caught it a few times.) I felt so dressed up even though the dress is actually denim.
I thought it needed a perfect pop of color. In comes these pink suede Sam Edelman Onyx pumps I picked up at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I'm still breaking them in; my piggies are not used to pointy pumps! But how much fun are they?! I know these will be getting a lot of wear.
Dress – kate spade new work Kimberly (here and here on Tradesy); Pumps – Sam Edelman Onyx; Bracelets – David Yurman here and here; Watch – Rolex; Earrings – Stella & Dot
Linking up with The Pleated Poppy.

In 1988, during the Pixies' six-week studio session for Doolittle, drummer David Lovering laid the snare drum and tom-tom fills over his bandmate Kim Deal's thumping bass line in the first measures of "Debaser," the 15-song album's opening track. Back then, he never imagined that two decades later he'd spend three years playing Doolittle in its entirety. It's an odd gig, but he's not complaining.
"It's fun for me," says Lovering, the iconic band's only timekeeper. "I like playing Doolittle and it's great fun. Honestly, it's one of the easiest Pixies albums to play, as far as my age and stamina go right now. I thought the Doolittle tour would end about two tours back, but it keeps cropping up. Luckily, it's still going, so I have a job still."
Lovering and singer/guitarist Black Francis (a.k.a. Frank Black or Charles Thompson), bassist/singer Kim Deal, and lead guitarist Joey Santiago formed the influential band in the Boston area in 1986. After a rapid ascent to the top of the college and alt-rock radio charts, the band split up in 1993.
They reunited in 2003 and conducted a successful worldwide reunion tour in '04. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their critically acclaimed, commercially successful 1989 album Doolittle, the band embarked on another world tour in 2009, which included sold-out shows in Ireland, the U.K., and Europe before hitting major cities in the U.S. The band continues their anniversary run with a "lost cities" tour this fall, hitting secondary markets throughout the U.S.
"Two years and counting in this celebration of Doolittle's anniversary," says Lovering. "We have looked forward to getting back on the road and heading toward cities we rarely got to go to before."
The Pixies released Doolittle in 1989 on the 4AD label with distribution in the U.S. by Elektra Records. The dynamic, guitar-heavy "Monkey Gone to Heaven" was the first single, followed by the melodic and jaunty "Here Comes Your Man."
"It still feels strange to hear people talk about how influential or important this album was to them," Lovering says. "We did a bunch of songs in the regular way we did things. When we recorded it, I knew we had some good songs there. When it came out, it got some strong critical reaction, but it didn't really do great sales. I remember Rolling Stone gave it three-and-a-half stars."
Looking and listening back, many fans and critics consider the collection to be the band's most brilliantly arranged and powerful material.
"It's hard to think of it as a classic album. It's just another Pixies record to me," shrugs Lovering. "It's a dynamic, good-sounding album. We weren't aiming for a type of genre or anything. It's a hard thing to take when people call us legends. If you know me, you know I don't seem legendary."
Doolittle earned the Pixies fame and praise, but it turned out to be their pinnacle.
Fans and journalists fretted plenty over the Pixies' breakup — especially the tense and occasionally nasty interaction between Black and Deal during the making of the last albums and the initial reunion tours. The 2006 tour documentary LoudQUIETloud caught some inter-band tension on camera, too.
According to Lovering, things are much better with everyone in the band these days. "Back in the day, we were all young, and we had the energy to do our thing but were still learning socialization skills," he says. "I can honestly say we're older and wiser now."
When the Pixies brainstormed on how to present Doolittle, they became determined to make the show into a uniquely grand thing.
"This is definitely the biggest production the band has ever done, with the big screen and the movies, videos, lighting, and the whole deal," Lovering says.
Longtime Pixies light man Myles Mangino and designer Paul Normandale created the set for the current Doolittle tours, which features four large "eyeball-like spheres" that are part of the band's light show. Mangino also contacted filmmakers Judy Jacobs, Tom Winkler, Brent Felix, and Melinda Tupling to create short films to accompany 12 of the 21 songs in the set.
Lovering says, "Truthfully, I haven't seen all of them because my back is always turned to the screens on stage, and I rarely get to turn around and watch."
Fans should expect a solid and smooth show, with the band locked well in step with the choreographed visual effects.
Fans attending the Pixies concert at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center on Friday should expect a solid and smooth show, with the band locked well in step with the choreographed visual effects.
The Doolittle concert set actually begins with an anthemic piece of music and a screening of the 1929 silent surrealist short film Un Chien Andalou, which was produced in France by Spanish director Luis Buñuel and artist Salvador Dali. The film provided inspiration for the song "Debaser." The band opens with four B-sides from the Doolittle sessions, with "Weird at My School," "Dancing the Manta Ray," and "Bailey's Walk" among them.
"Then it's 'Debaser' all the way to 'Gouge Away,'" says Lovering. "When that's over, we do more B-sides from the album, and then we might do whatever for an encore. We have to play all the extras. By itself, the album's barely 40 minutes long, so the audience would want their money back for such a short concert."

Our mission requires that we develop in all students the foundational skills, core content knowledge, critical thinking ability, and personal characteristics necessary to succeed in demanding high schools on their way to college. We can only accomplish this through a highly structured and disciplined environment in which rigorous instruction drives every classroom and frequent assessments allow us to ensure every student is receiving the ongoing academic support necessary for success.
As a college preparatory school, the School has the highest academic standards for all students. It is expected that students will take challenging classes, complete high quality work promptly both at school and at home, study for and perform well on exams, and receive excellent support from the teaching staff through after school tutoring and summer school if necessary. The highest effort from students, teachers and parents/guardians is necessary to reach this goal.
Core Subjects
All students at the School take the same set of academic classes based on their ability. Each student will be enrolled in 1 Language Arts class (Reading and Writing), Math, Social Studies, Spanish, Art, Science, Gym 1/2 and Technology during the year. General intentions for each core subject are described below.
Students will receive core instruction daily in Spanish. Students participate in active learning.
Reading proficiency is essential to the mastery of all other academic subjects. Students of the School will graduate reading at or above grade level. Throughout their education, students will read classical texts from diverse cultures in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Students will receive intensive phonics and phonemic awareness instruction to meet the needs of students who are reading below grade level.
Written expression is closely linked with success in college-preparatory and higher education. Students will master the writing of 5-paragraph essays in all five genres: expository, narrative, persuasive, literary response, and correspondence. Student will master grammar and mechanics.
Mathematics is considered the universal language. No matter the student's life goals, math will be intimately involved. To this end, the School will place a strong emphasis on all children being ready for an advanced math track upon arrival at high school.
Student will study an intensive curriculum of the scientific method, earth, physical, and life sciences, and will design, execute, write and present their own idependent experiments. All science classes will include the Earth Science, Biology, and Physical Science contents included in the ODE standards.
Social Studies
To ensure that graduates of the School have the critical research, thinking, and writing skills necessary for success in a multi-cultural world, all students will study a wide range of historical content and research.

The Blood Service of the Finnish Red Cross used Inforglobe to assess their personnel and stakeholder views on changes in their operation environment and the success of their strategy. The project was conducted in two phases. In the operation environment analysis, the participants estimated how various future trends create possibilities and threats to the Blood Service. In the strategy evaluation, participants estimated how the different components of the strategy succeeded.
"The assessments and ponderings of our staff are key information when we update our strategy. Without Inforglobe's tools it would have been extremely difficult to get our personnel to participate in the strategy process so efficiently with such depth. We received plenty useful open comments and a clear picture of the state of our current strategy. The analysis succeeded excellently. Inforglobe was very flexible and it was great to be able to tailor their assessment tool to fit our needs."

WIESENTHAL Opens Tomorrow at The Acorn Theatre
Daryl Roth and Karyl Lynn Burns present the New York premiere of Wiesenthal, the award-winning play written by and starring Tom Dugan and directed by Jenny Sullivan. Wiesenthal plays at the Acorn Theatre at Theatre Row, (410 W. 42nd Street). Opening night is November 5.
Filled with hope, humanity and humor, Wiesenthal is the riveting true story of Simon Wiesenthal, an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. Nicknamed the "Jewish James Bond," he devoted his life to bringing more than 1,100 Nazi war criminals to justice. Intelligent, funny, flawed and noble, Wiesenthal was a true universal hero. His unbelievable dedication and tenacity over decades is honored in this play, which gives equal weight to his wisdom and wit during his long, purposeful life.
Comprising the design team for Wiesenthal is Tony Award winning scenic designer Beowulf Boritt (Act One at Lincoln Center Theatre, On The Town on Broadway, Obie Award recipient for Sustained Excellence in Scenic Design),costume designer Alex Jaeger (Two Sisters and a Piano atThe Public Theatre, Venus in Fur at ACT), lighting designer Joel E. Silver (Blue Man Group in Berlin, Tokio Confidential at Atlantic Stage), and sound designer Shane Rettig (When January Feels Like Summer at Ensemble Studio Theatre, Mourning Becomes Electra at the Acorn Theatre at Theatre Row).
"I am thrilled to make my New York debut with Wiesenthal," says Dugan. "My father was a WWII veteran who received The Bronze Battle Star and The Purple Heart. He liberated the Buchenwald Concentration Camp in 1945. Although I was raised Irish Catholic, I later married a Jewish woman, and now we are raising our two boys in the Jewish faith, so Simon Wiesenthal's message of tolerance has a deep resonance for me considering my father's place in Jewish history and my future in the Jewish community. Wiesenthal was a true and universal 20th Century hero as he not only fought for the rights of Jewish Holocaust victims, but Soviet, Polish, Gypsy, Jehovah's Witness and homosexual victims as well."
"Plays that engage, enlighten, and entertain audiences have always been part of my mission," says producer Daryl Roth. "Wiesenthal's story is a very significant part of our history, and I am honored to be sharing it this season."

The whole question of being pro- or anti-GM food is in many ways a bad one. The better question is what crop, with what modification, for what purpose, made by whom?It's a good point - as much as the people writing stupid headlines and generating sound bytes would like to believe otherwise, people aren't (generally speaking) stupid. A blanket ban is not throwing away a potential useful tool because it's not useful in all situations. Throwing away all your hammers because right at this moment you need to drill a screw in. The other salient bit is:
By so transparently rejecting scientific consensus on both issues, greens invite the charge of hypocrisy when they urge politicians and the public to listen to the scientific consensus on climate change. If they are prepared to cherry-pick scientific evidence to suit their purposes on nuclear power and biotechnology, people are bound to wonder whether they are doing the same over climate change.Which is, I think a fair point. If you are using solid evidence and the scientific method to push for a particular world view (climate change), you don't then get to switch off the evidence based view of the world when it all of a sudden conflicts with your "common sense" (GE). Science is first and foremost about what is really there, not what we want to be there.
And an honourable mention to a commenter, mentha trecenta, in the comments, in response to someone using the old "there's no evidence to support GE's safety" argument, for providing this pithy link alongside an expression of disbelief. 440 studies of ... studies of GE safety that have found nothing to indicate danger.

What is the difference between batteries?
The latest development with Lithium-Ion (LI) battery technology has been the introduction of the Lithium Polymer based battery. Not only does the Lithium Polymer battery last longer, the battery is no longer limited to traditional battery cylindrical shapes. The battery can now be moulded into a customised shape to fit inside any product making it the choice for manufacturers developing the latest slimline and stylish devices. For best results and like with all other batteries, LI batteries should always have top up charges if put in storage for extended periods of time.
What is the difference between Bluetooth 3 and Bluetooth 4?
Bluetooth 4 is a format of Bluetooth that is largely more power efficient compared to Bluetooth 3. The battery life can almost be measured in months and years rather than hours and days.
Headset HSP
This is the most commonly used profile, providing support for Bluetooth speakers to be used with mobile phones. It offers the ability to ring, answer a call, hang up and adjust the volume direct from your portable speaker.
Wireless Talk HFP
This allows the user to answer calls from a mobile phone and to speak directly into the speaker, as compare to into the mobile phone.
The Advanced Audio Distribution Profile is a Bluetooth profile that allows for the wireless transmission of stereo audio from an A2DP source (typically a phone or computer) to an A2DP receiver (a Bluetooth speaker or stereo system).
Bluetooth 3.0 + EDR
Bluetooth 3.0 single-chip solution that enables three times greater data rate non-EDR solutions, providing advanced wireless connectivity for Bluetooth devices and longer battery life than competing solutions. 24 Mbit/s built-in support for Enhanced Data Rate (EDR), enabling more sophisticated remote-control functions.

New publisher Radical Comics has made a splash on the comics scene with well reviewed titles such as "Hercules" and "Caliber." They added a new project this week with "Freedom Formula: Ghost of the Wasteland," a five-issue miniseries by writer Edmund Shern with art by Imaginary Friends Studios' Kai and Chester Ocampo. The title is set in a future where corporations set the rules and "exosuit" racing is high entertainment. Those racers, though, are slaves held captive by their bloodline; part of a caste system that exists into the future. When one of the drivers leads a revolt, questions are raised of loyalty, redemption, and familial distrust.
Series writer Edmund Shern joins THE COMMENTARY TRACK this week to discuss some of the highlights of his first issue, including its artistic inspirations, the role of the artists in the storytelling, and some of the details of the series' futuristic world yet to be revealed.
As always, these tracks come with SPOILERS. You've been warned.
Commentary by Edmund Shern
We had three covers for "Freedom Formula" #1. Radical was gracious enough to give this the Prestige Format treatment, which certainly helps in the presentation of the covers. I love all three. My favorite has to be the Comic-Con International: San Diego variant because it really represents the genesis of the idea. Strip away the racing stripes and you have a basic Formula 1 styled Mecha, which was the original visual inspiration for the whole concept. Kai Lim had painted it and I told him there was a story right there waiting to be told!
Finding the look for "Freedom Formula" was a big challenge. I wanted the look of the book to reflect the Asian inspiration for the ideas, yet I also wanted a European painted feel to it to also represent the fact that this story reflects our influences growing up among Asian and Hollywood entertainment.
Rather than do a straight flashback, Kai and Chester came up with the brilliant idea to do a parallel pair of panels to reflect the race and the historical back-story being related. I think it's ingenious! I wish I'd thought of that as a writer, but that is where an artist's visual sensibilities can contribute to the process.
Chester was pushing for even the shape and layout of the panels to get increasingly geared towards a big racing money shot. In our choice for the panels on the final spread on pages 6-7, we went back to manga traditions to create panels that focused on building the mood rather than specifically moving the plot along.
Right off the bat, I wanted to introduce the antagonists. Typically, story structures are built around protagonists. But for me, I found it really interesting to have a protagonist (Zee) basically stumble and react to situations as opposed to really taking control of situations -- at least in the first half of his character arc. In contrast, I have the corporate bosses thinking they are in control and actively acting to control situations and people. This is where I start getting philosophical about fate and destiny and all that crap.
Zee really hates his father! This could be me working out my own estrangement with my father. As much as I don't feel I have anything in common with him, I sometimes wonder how similar he was to me at my age now. Are we doomed to repeat the sins of our fathers?
I wanted to give the Wastelanders their own Wastespeak. I still think it's a cool idea. The only problem was that Zee would have to be speaking Wastespeak throughout the book and that would be tiring on both reader and writer! I'll revive Wastespeak in a later arc and pin it on a specific character. I'll make a mental note of that.
Notice the Dusthopper. It's one of my favorite vehicles that the guys designed. There are so many throwaway design concepts that were developed that I hope to present a full art book just on the groundwork we did.
Transportation in the wasteland is not a nice way to travel. We had fun with the bus though. It's inspired by how people pack into and on top of buses in various places in Asia. That's unheard of in America, but practical reality in places where life is cheap!
Page 11 ends with a scene which segues into the flashback. Dave Gibbons was truly the master of visual segues in "Watchmen." That's very much a big reference for me in excellence in visual storytelling. I feel this really helps in the flow of the storytelling. Then again, I could be analyzing too much again!
Indicating flashbacks are always tricky. I got the team to avoid the usual panel shape differentiation. In the end, they went for a painting style shift for the flashback.
Here's another stylistic decision -- notice the red "action" panels. J.H. Williams III and Jose Villarrubia's amazing work on "Desolation Jones" inspired us to really push coloring styles into the realm of storytelling. Colorists aren't just there to make something beautiful; a great colorist can really enhance the mood tremendously. Our red action panels made them stark and even suggested sudden actions in a panel. Scott McCloud would no doubt have a field day with how color communicates passages of time!
Really fast paced storytelling was needed here to show the hustle of the race and lead up to the big accident in the following page. This sequence was tough for me to work out. I really had to figure out routes and how close calls could turn into accidents etc. I was using Matchbox cars to work this out! I'm not sure if all of my brilliant details of how vehicles would crisscross and end up with an accident actually made it to the page.
I love this spread. Not just because the guys were able to really communicate the scale of these machines in the art here, but also because the panel layouts were done so creatively that we had panels that looked like debris!
Check out Chinese characters which read "Freedom" on the back of Zee's neck in panel three. I loved how the guys shifted color palettes to enhance storytelling -- lighting the character just nicely when I came over to LA to seek his fortunes.
Thanks to Edmund Shern for stopping by to discuss the new world of "Freedom Fighters" #1, on sale now.
As always, if you have any titles or creators you'd like to see in THE COMMENTARY TRACK, or you're a creator with a book coming out that you'd like to talk about in detail, drop us a line. We're especially looking for artists/colorists/letterers who are looking to talk about their craft, as we've had a shortage of those so far. We're busy behind the scenes lining up books for the weeks ahead, but there's always room for more!

Halloween can be a very confusing and often frightening holiday for children in general and even more so for individuals with special needs. Many, if not most of the usual rules of safe behavior and "normal" social interaction are broken. As we all know, on Halloween night children are permitted and encouraged to talk to strangers, perhaps enter their homes and accept gifts of candy from them. Even when accompanied by their watchful parents or caregivers, children and young teens with disabilities can feel confused, overwhelmed and even terrified on this particular autumn evening. At Stanfield, we don't want our special kids to be left out of the fun and recognize that they are uniquely vulnerable to some of the real horrors of the holiday. By anticipating and identifying some of the potential problems kids with disabilities might encounter on Halloween, we can help to minimize them. Furthermore, we can help our kids to have more of the treats and less of the tricks this holiday portends.
Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries
Our Circles© Curriculum teaches individuals with special needs to put themselves in the center, place significant others close by, keep acquaintances further away, and strangers at bay. Those rules seem to fly out the window like witches on broomsticks at Halloween. How does one explain to a child who you've fortified with safety information about not talking to strangers that on this night it is OK to talk to people you don't know and in fact accept their gift of candy? Explain to your kids with special needs that this is a special holiday, they are with you, under your supervision, and together you will venture out together. Practice typical scenarios. ALTERNATIVES: "Trick or Treat" at the mall or similar public venue where kids don't actually knock on a stranger's door. Check what is offered in your local community. These events generally start in the late afternoon before darkness sets in. You could also pre-arrange with other known families to visit each other's homes.
Some kids love dressing up and others want nothing to do with this Halloween ritual as it can be overwhelming. Help your child choose or make a costume that will reflect his interests. Face-paint, a hat or mask, or no costume at all, if that is his or her preference is fine. Let your child practice wearing the costume to get comfortable with it. Make sure to apply some reflective tape (on both of you) to increase your visibility. You can also increase safety by making sure that your child can't trip over loose or too-long hems. Children using wheelchairs often get short-changed in the "cool" costume department. One approach is to decorate the wheelchair and make it the center of attention. For some fantastic ideas see the Christopher Reeve's foundation terrace website: http://www.christopherreeve.org .
Halloween Fright
Young children and those with cognitive and developmental challenges may have trouble differentiating real life from make believe. Scary movies, "haunted houses", and horrific costumes should be off-limits. While this tip may seem obvious, it is important to remember that those around you may not be aware of how frightening this may be for your child. Be pro-active: both you and your child can benefit from learning self-calming skills. Anticipate Halloween scenarios and social situations. Practice—this will help to desensitize your child's fears. Talk—you have an opportunity to clear up misconceptions, dispel fears and promote enjoyment of this beginning of Fall-Winter holiday season.
The child who is 'left behind' most is the one who leaves school without transition readiness.
Dr. James Stanfield, Ed.D.

Coming up in this article: Lyme (Borreliosis) Disease; Homeopathic First Aid for Tick Bites; Climate Change.
[bctt tweet="Homeopathic Ledum is our FIRST aid treatment for tick bites in humans and animals."]
Be aware that Lyme Disease does occur in the UK, where it is less often recognised. I have personal experience with Lyme Disease with my eldest daughter in the USA. She became seriously ill (within a month) with neurological problems and Lyme related arthritis. She underwent 70 days of antibiotics with their own consequences.
My second daughter was bitten by a tiny deer tick in Lyme Park, Cheshire, UK and produced the characteristic 'bull's eye' mark (which confirms that the bacterial infection Borreliosis is present). However, I knew the signs and gave her a single dose of Ledum 200c. The bull's eye subsided and she had no further development of borreliosis symptoms (to date about 7 years). I saw a locum doctor who looked up the disease and offered to monitor her. My own doctor at the time strongly believed that Lyme Disease doesn't exist in the UK.
Homeopaths consider Ledum as insurance against infections from bites, stings and puncture wounds of all types, once you have been bitten
But if signs of infection develop please consult your homeopathic practitioner and / or doctor.

I had another idea while I was in the shower this morning (I don't know why but thats where I get all my good ideas) I thought an ongoing series of anthropomorphic elements from the periodic table of elements with aspects relating to the element (oxygen can have wings, calcium can have an exoskeleton, gold would be really shiny ect.) and because there are so many it can be a work in progress and a good change to study up on elements :)

I have an idea... a very simple sketch out of a bird (my favorite is a humming bird) with wings flapping, so you can see the movement. I know its been done before, but you have a talent for bringing different ideas to the table.

Captcha Does not Display / Design View not accurate.
I recently bought CSS Form Builder in order to generate Contact Forms. To say the least, I am very disappointed.
First, the Design View display in Dreamweaver CS4 is not anything close to the actual output. Fields overlap, they are in the wrong position. It is impossible to tell what the form will look like.
Second, I can't access the help file, since Flash Player keeps saying the site isn't secure, no matter what I do to change the Flash Payer security settings. Whoever thinks Flash Player is the way to display information apparently doesn't want to share that information.
So I now have a basis form that I used to get started, have no way to modify it and see what I am doing, and even the basic form doesn't work right as:
1. I can't set the E-mail address where the form should go (can't access instructions or help)
2. The CAPCHA code doesn't display so there is no way to know what to enter anyway.
I did read correctly that no knowledge of coding is required to use CSS form builder, didn't I?

The Grand Slambovians Do HalloweenMore than half of the medley comes from covers of classic rock greats David Bowie, and The Beatles
The 2010 Halloween Ball Alien Set (a very long name for a very long song) runs long, as medleys tend to do, and while they play very well, it lacks energy. Listeners may liken the first five minutes or so to Rocky Horror Picture Show musical numbers except the band can actually play their instruments well. Yes it's got a nice, spooky feel, put on your mask and grab your best ray gun and set it to stun, but it doesn't need to be halloween to enjoy The Grand Slambovians. The band has been very positively reviewed by Maverick Magazine - UK, Guitar Magazine, and other musicians a like, but with this song it is hard to hear exactly why that is. The first half of the song is good, but basic, with a classic rock feel, which is a good start, but if this is a listener's first time with The Grand Slambovians they are missing out on what makes them so entertaining.
More than half of the medley comes from covers of classic rock greats David Bowie, and The Beatles. Yet other's people music doesn't seem to encapsulate all the fun, and uniqueness that The Grand Slambovians possess when playing original songs. The strangeness, and commingling of accordion, mandolin and trippy imagery is almost totally absent from their covers, which make up a large portion of the medley. Ziggy Stardust, and Across the Universe are played capably, but simply and with no nuance. A better example of the musicians of Slambovia would be Flapjacks From the Sky (A double album that was very well received) or their new album tiled :The New Album. In the medley listeners can hear the audience applauding, cheering for more, it sounds like a "you had to be there" situation.

Please watch the video clip below, and you will notice the large number of fish and coral in this 500 gallon EcoSystem Aquarium. You will see that the fish and coral are all very healthy and are a part of thriving reef aquaria.
How is this particularly high bio-load maintained? It's the result of the filtration capabilities of our EcoSystem Miracle Mud Method filter, which allows the tank to support a much denser fish and coral population than conventional systems that do not use Miracle Mud.
This robust filtration allows us to heavily feed the aquarium, which also promotes large and healthy fish and coral. This particular system does not even use a protein skimmer, and requires very minimal maintenance!

New Work
"My Aim is True"
"Putting Back the Bones"
"Mountains of the Mind"
"People, Houses, Burials, Shrines"
Well, I see it's been over a month since I've posted. All is well and I wanted to share some recent work that I made for a printmaking show. Three of the pieces were inspired by sentences/titles from the
Craig Childs
book I mentioned in an earlier post. Lately I have been working where I start with a small print and use additive drawing and painting. Let me know any thoughts or feedback.

1997-1998 indexDistributed March 2, 1998
Background on Europa data from the Galileo Mission to Jupiter
At today's press briefing, Brown and NASA scientists will show the most detailed images ever seen of the Jupiter moon Europa. Recently transmitted from the Galileo spacecraft, the images provide three key pieces of evidence supporting the idea that water may lurk beneath Europa's surface. (See also news advisory.)
Water or ice? Liquid or slushy or frozen solid? Ever since the Voyager spacecraft missions flew through the Jupiter system in 1979, planetary scientists have wondered about the layer of ice surrounding the planet. Europa's blindingly bright ice surface makes it one of the brightest objects in our solar system. Recent Galileo spacecraft images have provided evidence that Europa had a liquid ocean underneath the frozen crust sometime in its history, but it is not clear if this ocean still exists. Of the various explanations proposed by scientists, most scenarios of Europa's evolution have the water layer freezing solid earlier in its history. The moon's surface is -260° F, which could freeze an ocean over several million years. But some scientists are beginning to think that the warming caused by a tidal tug of war with Jupiter and neighboring moons could be keeping large parts of the ocean liquid.
New stereo and very high resolution images of Europa just transmitted to Earth from the Galileo Europa Mission fly-by in December 1997 may help support the theory that water or slush may slosh beneath Europa's frozen crust. Detailed enough to see a truck-sized object on the surface, the new images are hundreds of times higher resolution than the best Voyager images and three to 20 times higher than earlier Galileo pictures. The Brown and NASA scientists point to three key pieces of evidence from the detailed images:
"Together, the craters, chaos and wedges support the hypothesis that in Europa's most recent history, liquid or at least partially liquid water existed at shallow depths below the surface of Europa in several different places," says James Head, Brown University professor of geological sciences. "These and other data lend support to the hypothesis that Europa is warm and active today and potentially characterized by a global subsurface water layer or ocean. Europa, like Mars and the Saturn moon Titan, is a laboratory for the study of conditions that might have led to the formation and evolution of life. The combination of interior heat, liquid water, and infall of organic material from comets and meteorites means that Europa has the key ingredients for life, and it represents an exciting environment that is worthy of further detailed exploration."
Rays and debris from the impact that formed Pwyll Crater radiate over a large part of the moon's surface. Galileo took pictures of the impact crater from two perspectives to determine the three-dimensional shape of the crater. Colleagues at the DLR (German Aerospace Research Establishment) converted these images into a colored map showing the depth of the crater and the height of its peaks. Unlike most young, deep impact craters, the floor of Pwyll is at the same level as the exterior, says Brown graduate student Geoffrey Collins. The central peaks of the crater are more than 2,000 feet high - four times higher than the Washington Monument - and higher than the crater rim. This means that this young crater was warm and weak and collapsed during or very shortly after the meteorite impact, in contrast to craters formed in cold, stiff material. Debris that flowed from the violent impact is dark, suggesting excavation of different material from below the surface. All this suggests that water just beneath the surface was warm enough to be slushy in the moon's recent history.
The new images from Galileo help answer some questions about other areas of Europa that are littered with fractured and rotated blocks of crust the size of several city blocks (dubbed chaos terrain). These fractured ice chunks appeared to be either sliding on soft glacier-like ice below the surface or floating like icebergs in a more fluid material. The new images show that the material between the cracked and separated plates of crust is rough and swirly, says Robert Pappalardo, a postdoctoral research scientist at Brown. The pieces are immersed in what appears to be a slush that is now frozen solid. The very low temperatures at the surface of Europa (-260° F) mean that any water exposed at the surface would freeze immediately and might create this kind of texture. The rough chaos terrain, as well as the movement and rotation of the blocks, suggest that the crust was at least partially liquid at shallow depths.
Other images are helping unravel more mysteries. Pieces of the moon's glaringly white crust are separated by wedged-shaped pieces of darker, newer crust, welling up from below, freezing and cracking. The separated pieces of white crust would fit back together like a jig-saw puzzle, suggesting that plate tectonic-like activity might be occurring on Europa to form the wedges. Composed of a set of narrow linear ridges and parallel grooves, the dark wedge has many similarities to new crust formed at mid-ocean ridges on the Earth's sea floor, says Brown graduate student Louise Prockter, who has studied high-resolution sonar images of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and has visited the Pacific Ocean floor in the research submersible vehicle Alvin. Like Earth, new crust seems to be welling up, separating, and replacing older crust. On Europa, the molten material solidifying on the surface was likely slushy ice or liquid water.
To confirm the existence of such a layer, determine its depth and investigate its nature and global extent, further observations are planned for the Galileo Europa Mission, and other experiments are planned for a Europa Orbiter Mission to be launched in 2003, says Michael J. S. Belton of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Tucson, Ariz., and team leader for the solid state imaging system.######

These Art Cars Are Simply Stunning And Hilarious
Owning a car is an important part of most people's lives. You (probably) will pay thousands of dollars for it, it's incredibly useful and they're just fun to drive. Some people go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of their car and making it look super slick.Then, there are those people go a little overboard with the idea of customizing their car. These are the people who go even more overboard than the overboard people. They've actually made their cars into works of art and let me tell you, they're incredible. They're also a little insane:

Michael Gove made a major announcement about the direction of any Conservative governments education plans this morning. He has outlined policy to extend the school academy scheme to primary schools across the country.
However, according to the BBC, Ministers and teaching unions have widely rounded on the proposals, savaging them for introducing market privatisation of primary education through the back door.
"Children's Minister Beverley Hughes said it was not financially possible.Teaching union the NUT has likened the plan to Labour's secondary city academies, which it says are failing.NUT National Executive member Kevin Courtney said: "When you study these schools, [they] are improving their results by changing pupil population so that social segregation is coming in again."That's what we're worried about with this Tory proposal. It's a return to deregulation and privatisation and a return to social segregation."
NASUWT general secretary Chris Keates added: "Having already announced academies will be the norm for secondary schools, this proposal for primary schools completes the Tories' blueprint for the dismantling of state education."These plans are the naked marketisation of education and will place thousands of children and young people at the mercy of private, voluntary and independent providers."

Terming Tata Sons' contention that group companies were "drifting away" under him as "furthest from truth", ousted chairman Cyrus Mistry on Sunday hit back at Tata Sons calling its criticism of independent directors, revered names in India Inc, as "truly unfortunate". "To suggest that 'ulterior objectives' and 'clever strategy' can sway these eminent names in undertaking their fiduciary duties and discharging the duties mandated by the statute as independent directors is absolutely astonishing and really speaks to how low Tata Sons has unfortunately stooped in their public statements," a statement from his office said, in a rebuttal to the recent actions of Tata Sons.
Stating that the independent directors whose conduct has been questioned include names like Deepak Parekh, Nusli Wadia and Nadir Godrej, among others, Mistry added that it is "truly unfortunate" that independence of "stalwarts of India Inc" is being questioned.
The statement is a rebuttal to a 9-page open letter issued by Tata Sons in which it had accused Mistry of "trying to gain control of Indian Hotels Company, whose independent directors had sided with the former chairman of Tata Sons.
"He (Mistry) has cleverly ensured over these years that he would be the only Tata Sons representative on the board of IHCL in order to frustrate Tata Sons' ability to exercise influence and control on IHCL," the Tata Sons letter had said.
Independent directors at Tata Chemicals have also backed Mistry, which has led Tata Sons initiating action to expel Wadia from its company boards.
In its letter, Tata Sons had also alleged that Mistry was trying to gain control of the group's main companies and regretted its decision to appoint him as chairman four years ago.
It had said the structure of the group has been "consciously dismantled so that now the operating companies are drifting farther away from the promoter company and their major shareholder".
Mistry retorted back at this today, saying these suggestions are "furthest from the truth" and added that changing the board structure was part of a plan to alter the corporate governance practices with an aim to make the salt-to-software group's companies run independently.
"The corporate governance framework that was developed under Mistry's leadership attempted to ensure group companies would adhere to the group values, share best practices, enable movement of talent, exploit win-win synergies, and do all of this without impinging on the independence of the operating companies and the boards that they are ultimately responsible to," he said.
This was done to protect the interests of of all stakeholders, employees, and minority shareholders, he said, adding that it was a case of placing responsibility "where it should lie".
The Mistry statement also made a veiled but not fully elaborate reference to insider trading while explaining the need to have a new corporate governance framework.

Studio Seilern has won planning for this £9.5 million 'loft living' scheme in Mayfair after abandoning its original designs
The practice said it had 'revisited the brief and reduced the density' (see below) on the 'seemingly impossible site' in White horse Street, west London.
The five-home development for the Reuben Brothers-owned Motcomb Estates also features shops and underground parking development.
Describing the scheme, a spokesperson for the Ladbroke Grove-based firm said: 'By turning the typical urban building model 'inside out', the studio overcame the difficulties posed by a tight, inner site within a conservation area. The result is an innovative design that splits each residence across two buildings connected to each other by transparent private walkways with a vertical sculptural garden at the core of the development.'
Project data
Location: Mayfair, London
Scheme: five residential lofts + retail + underground parking
Area: 2,350 m²
Budget: £9.5million
Stage: Planning permission granted April 2012
Client: Motcomb Estates
Architect: Studio Seilern Architects
Planning Consultant: Daniel Rinsler & Co
Services Engineer: Hilson Moran
Structural Engineer: AKT II
Rights of Light: Drivers Jonas
Quantity Surveyor: Davis Langdon

There is only one more episode to go before Season 3 of The Walking Dead comes to an end. I am sure we have all come to hate and love Merle Dixon in the series. I remember him in the first season where I am certain the audience did not like who he was, American guy who was just racist and thought of himself superior to everyone else.
Well Season 3 has been kind of funny but we have seen that he cares a lot about his brother and it effects Merle how Daryl perceives him. In the episode that aired on the 24th-25th we see that Merle does have emotions and cares what others think of him, he states to his brother that the whole group see him as some sort of devil because he is someone in the World who has to do the dirty work that others won't.
That is the last scene between the brothers where they are both emotional and trying to patch up. After Daryl says he just wants his brother back and walks out the room we see Merle pack a bag with a rifle and a telephone. There is a lot that happens afterwards with Merle in the centre of it but I won't go into detail, watch it yourself it's a good episode of The Walking Dead.
I loved Merle in this episode sitting in the car outside some booze store drinking away with the music on which suited his bad ass attitude. Was just amazing. The car is surrounded by 'walkers' while he is drinking and you can see he doesn't care and isn't worried. You can see he has a final stage of redemption planned. I loved the idea of him turning up the music and slowly driving and stopping to make sure the 'walkers' kept up with the car. Merle then leads the pack of 'walkers' to the Governor's town and jumps out the car to hide in a building. Merle picks off men one by one without the Governor's people knowing they are being shot at, they all just assume it's the 'walkers' that came close bit them. Merle has a clear shot at the Governor but a 'walker' approaches Merle just after he shoots one of the Governor's man who was blocking the shot. I wish he had caused total destruction and killed the Governor.
Merle is exposed into the open when he kills the 'walker' and falls out of the building door. I felt really sad when I saw the Governor beat up Merle and shoot him. The screen when black after it and Rick and the prison were the next segment. What was heartbreaking was Daryl seeing his brother turned into a 'walker' when he died from the shot.
Daryl sees Merle eating some dead bodies meat and you see Daryl burst out in tears. There is something different to the other 'walkers' before, Merle's eyes are shown in a realistic way and seeing his whole face makes you feel a lot of emotions because you see what he has turned into.
I think he had good in him and he proved it with what he did in this episode because he was trying to be the good guy for once and take out the threat. Daryl pushes Merle away many times while crying but finally in anger of what his brother has become he stabs him many times in the face and it becomes disfigured. I don't think anyone would wish that on their worst enemy.
Now I know it's just a show but it makes you think like no other show ever has on TV that "What would you do in them circumstances". What I mean is what would you do if the world had become like The Walking Dead and it was hard to trust survivors because they want to survive and could kill the people you are protecting or steal your supplies. There are many emotional effects you would have to suffer when deciding who to save and basically where to stay and survive. Making these choices is the worst thing ever when I thought about it. Some of us are good people but in events even we could be forced to not care about others except the people we trying to protect, might ignore others and let them die for instance.
I like how even in a World like that there are a group of people who are good people. Rick Grimes and his group of people believe in good.
I realised what someone would go through and what Rick Grimes goes through in The Walking Dead when I played the 5 episodes of The Walking Dead game from Telltale Games. Decision you make in that game directly affect your feelings because you see the aftermath.
Just think though what you would do to survive!

Nobody can stop the youth of America from dancing, and nobody can stop the American film industry from making movies about people who try. The most impressive thing about Craig Brewer's remake of "Footloose" — the 1984 Kevin Bacon movie with the Kenny Loggins theme song that will now be stuck in my cranium for another 27 years — is that it handles its shaky, shopworn premise with sensitivity and conviction.
The elders of the little town of Bomont, Ga., have banned dancing (and loud music and a lot of other fun) not out of prudery, but as a result of misguided but understandable parental concern. After a wild night drinking beer and shaking their blue-jeaned tailfeathers to Blake Shelton's new version of the theme song, a group of local teenagers were killed in a road accident. Among them was the only son of the Rev. Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid), who also has a daughter named Ariel (Julianne Hough).
Three years later, Ariel is a high school senior running wild with a local racecar driver (Patrick John Flueger), and the town's young people are sitting still and being quiet under the watchful eyes of the authorities, occasionally sneaking out for some clandestine toe tapping. Into this scene comes Ren (Kenny Wormald), who moves from the notoriously dance-crazy city of Boston to live with his uncle and aunt.
If you remember the first "Footloose," you know more or less what happens, and you may find some of the alterations amusing. Instead of a game of chicken on tractors, for instance, there is a dirt-track race involving modified school buses. Mr. Brewer films this lumbering action sequence, and several brawls and fights, with more verve and relish than he brings to the dance numbers, which are, in the age of "Glee," the "High School Musical" movies and the mighty "Step Up" franchise, woefully inadequate.
As is Mr. Wormald. He has energy but no real magnetism, and while he may be in possession of what are technically known as "moves," his dancing lacks sensuality and a sense of release. Much better is Miles Teller, as Willard, Ren's drawling sidekick — Mater to his Lightning McQueen, if you'll permit a "Cars" reference. With his scarecrow limbs and slack features, Mr. Teller has a natural charisma that is both comic and kind of sexy.
"Footloose" could use more of that, but Mr. Brewer's expertise — as shown in his previous films, "Hustle & Flow" and "Black Snake Moan" — lies in pulpy vulgarity and florid melodrama. These elements certainly have a place in this movie, as does the director's evident affection for the music and idioms of the South. Apart from the inevitable '80s-throwback and popped-up hip-hop tracks, the music in this "Footloose" is better and more eclectic than the original, with some blues, country and vintage metal mixed in with the peppy dance tunes.Continue reading the main story
But to be effective, a pop confection like this needs just the right mix of silliness and sincerity, so that you believe both that a lot is at stake in the battle over dancing and that, in the end, it's really just dancing. Somehow "Footloose" never finds its rhythm. The maudlin scenes drag on, and the livelier moments pass by too quickly. It only works when it settles down and lets the characters (and the audience) hang out and have a little fun. Which is all kids really want to do. Why does everyone make it so difficult?
"Footloose" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Dancing implies other vices and causes some conflict.
Opens on Friday nationwide.
Directed by Craig Brewer; written by Mr. Brewer and Dean Pitchford, based on the original screenplay by Mr. Pitchford; director of photography, Amelia Vincent; edited by Billy Fox; music by Deborah Lurie; production design by Jon Gary Steele; costumes by Laura Jean Shannon; choreography by Jamal Sims; produced by Craig Zadan, Neil Meron, Dylan Sellers and Brad Weston; released by Paramount Pictures.
