RAWr Night Nappy Pack Demonstration

Added on 08 July 2016 in Darlings Downunder, RAWr Nappies

We've been stocking the RAWr Night Nappy Pack for over three years now. It's an important part of the range we offer customers. And we love that RAWr Nappies is an awesome Tasmanian business with passion for ethical and sustainable manufacture.

When we chose to add this cloth nappy at Darlings Downunder, we were looking for something very specific to meet requests we had from our customers:

A built-in waterproof layer

While we love fitted cloth nappies and covers for nights, plenty of you told us you'd prefer a reusable night nappy with a built in waterproof layer. You didn't want extra covers or have to buy anything else at the same time.

Fits larger sizes

You kept telling us that there was a gap for older or larger kids who had grown out of regular sized cloth nappies (most of which fit up to about 16-18kg), but were not ready for a toilet training/bedwetting option. The XL size of the RAWr Night Nappy fits well over 20kg, fitting many preschoolers.

Medium (Crawler/Toddler): approximately 6kg – 14kg
Large (Toddler/Walker): approximately 11kg – 20kg
Extra Large (Junior/Pre-schooler): approximately 15kg+

RAWr nappies aren't just night nappies. The RAWr Stuff n Snap Night Nappy Pack is a nappy that can be used during the day, with nighttime boosting that turns a great day nappy into a super absorbent night nappy. It comes with some built in absorbency, a trifold bamboo insert, and an additional bamboo booster. While all of these work well as night, remove the trifold or the booster, and you have a trim, easy to use nappy for day time too!

The separate booster also makes it easy to add extra absorbency right where you need it - including at the front for boys or tummy sleepers.

A natural fibre inner

There's two main reasons for preferring a natural fibre inner for a night nappy. First of all, night wees can be really large and very fast, and a stay dry layer can sometimes slow down absorption leading to leaks as the wee forces itself out. Secondly, for those children who have sensitivities to synthetic fabrics or eczema (especially when the one nappy is worn overnight) a natural fabric is gentler on their skin.

The fact the RAWr Night Nappies have bamboo/cotton velour as the inner layer rather than a synthetic staydry fabric can concern some parents as it seems like it would feel wet against the skin. But because the bamboo velour absorbs quickly and has a soft nap, it doesn't tend to hold the moisture against baby’s skin like cotton or bamboo fleece would. In fact the moisture is drawn quickly through the velour to the absorbent layers underneath.

If any of these reasons resonate with you, take a closer look at this fabulous night nappy:

Find the PERFECT GUY in five minutes

So you’ve set the date with him and you’re counting the minutes until you go out with this promising new guy.

But there’s that nagging thought in the back of your mind:

“How can I tell if he’s going to be worthwhile or flake out like the other guys I’ve met?”

Dating can definitely be a luck-of-the-draw kind of deal, and sometimes you just don’t know what you’re in for.

Unless of course, you can quickly figure out what his intentions are.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could tell right away if he’s a quality guy who is, at the very least, interested in sticking around if the chemistry’s there?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could save yourself a whole lot of grief and wasted time by spotting those red flags right away?

Well, all of this IS possible. There’s an art to reading his character, but it isn’t as complicated as you might think.

Why Guys Lie

But first, we need to know what goes through a guy’s head. You see, men are dead set on impressing their date, even it means embellishing a little – or in some cases, A LOT.

But that’s just the nature of the beast. Men want you to think that they’re cool, tough and generally an impressive guy to have around.

In reality of course, no one can be the perfect partner.

When the not-so-appealing side of his personality comes to light, it can be a letdown to see how he doesn’t entirely live up to the hype.

But that’s a normal part of dating.

What you really have to watch out for are the guys who will outright lie about something that could affect your decision to keep seeing him or not.

And in those situations, it’s in your best interest to sniff out these dealbreakers before you get too far with him.

Otherwise, you’ll feel like the wool was pulled over your eyes, leaving you angry and heartbroken.

Treading Lightly

Ok, so you have two basic possibilities here.

  1. He could be a genuinely nice guy and you just want him to be as forthcoming as possible.
  2. Or he could be up to no good and is hiding something that could seriously impact your future with him.

Whatever the case is, you have to approach him like a deer. If he knows you’re fishing for clues, he might get skittish and back off.

Moreover, a guy with not-so-nice intentions might know what’s up and feed you the “right” answers, which totally defeats the purpose of asking him about his qualities.

For instance, you can’t tell him,

“You’re not going to be one of those guys who says he’s all about commitment, then walks out the door a few months down the road, will you?”

When you ask him that way, he’ll practically have no choice but to pour honey in your ear so you won’t reject him.

Uncovering the Truth

So, how do you pick his brain without setting off any warning bells in his head?

First of all, avoid a direct line of questioning.

A better way would be to casually get his thoughts on vital stuff you want to know about, like cheating, long-term commitment or jealousy.

To make your approach more subtle, bring up the topic through a story involving someone else you know, like a friend or relative for instance.

For example, talk about a relationship issue involving your friend from work:

“Oh speaking of work, I suddenly remembered Teresa, my co-worker who hasn’t shown up for a week. Apparently her boyfriend broke up with her because she ‘flirts too much’ with her guy friends. We’re not super close, but I do kinda feel bad for her because she isn’t the type to cheat.

“Are most guys are threatened by their girlfriend’s guy pals? Or is jealousy in men more of an exception than the rule?”

Ok, so “most guys” is really just a way of asking him what he thinks about the subject. Now, you just need to decode his answer.

Let’s say he responds with something like,

“Hmm, I don’t think most guys are a control freak like him. I mean, any reasonable man wouldn’t flip out like that unless there was a valid reason.”

In this example, you can already tell which side of the issue he falls on even if he isn’t talking about himself directly. Chances are, this guy isn’t the type who’d try to control the people his girlfriend deals with on a daily basis.

But you’d get a completely different picture if he told you,

“Well, I’d say that a lot of men wouldn’t appreciate their partner talking to strange guys he hasn’t met. I mean, a reasonable guy would trust his girl, but not necessarily the people around her.”

In this case, you might want to think twice about seeing him long-term if he’s going to have a problem with your friends.

Whatever his response is, you’ll be able to get to the bottom of the truth even if he doesn’t actually talk about himself.

What he thinks about what other guys think is already a good reflection of what he’d do in the same situation.

However, I don’t want you to think that you’re pulling a fast one over him. You’re just figuring out early on if you’re compatible or not.

It’s the same as applying for a job. No company is just going to hire the next guy they talk to.

In the same way, you need to know if he’ll add value to your life or create unnecessary drama.

After all, you’d rather not find out too late that you aren’t right for each other after all.

In the end, you’ll make better use of your time by focusing instead on a guy you can have a healthy relationship with.

Yours, in Perfect Passion,

Afghan forces banned from calling Nato air strikes

February 16, 2013

Afghan President Hamid Karzai.—AFP (File Photo)

KABUL: Afghan ground forces will be barred from calling in Nato air strikes after an attack killed a number of children this week, President Hamid Karzai said Saturday.

“I issue a decree, from tomorrow none of the Afghan forces are allowed to ask for foreign air support under any conditions,” he said in an address to young officers at a military academy in Kabul.

“Our forces ask for air support from foreigners and children get killed in an air strike,” he said.

This was apparently a reference to an attack during an overnight raid by combined Afghan and Nato ground forces on a Taliban hideout in a remote eastern region on Wednesday.

Initial reports said 10 civilians, including five children and four women, were killed when the air strike was called in.

Three Taliban commanders, including a notorious Al-Qaeda-linked militant leader called Shahpoor, were also killed in the raid, Afghan officials said.

Civilian casualties caused by Nato forces fighting Taliban Islamist insurgents are a highly sensitive issue and are regularly condemned by Karzai.

“We are happy the foreign troops are withdrawing from Afghanistan,” he said, referring to the scheduled withdrawal of US-led Nato combat troops by the end of next year.

“I have been arguing with the foreign troops, don't bombard our houses, don't go to our villages, don't disrespect our people. And we hear our forces partnered with foreign forces are violating human rights.”

Karzai said Afghan forces would be able to defend the country after the foreign troops withdraw.

“I agree we are passing through a challenging phase, but we are the owners of this country.

“America is not the owner of this country, Pakistan is not the owner of this country, Germany is not the owner of this country, France is not the owner of this country.

“And fortunately, we will show to the world that we can protect our country, and we can defend our country.”More than 3,200 Nato troops, mostly Americans, have died in support of Karzai's government in the 11-year war since the Taliban were ousted by a US invasion in 2001, but relations between the president and the US are often prickly.

VIDEO: Would You Pay More to Remove Ads From Hulu?

The rumor going around is that Hulu is going to offer a new, ad-free tier of service. The catch: It might cost $12 to $14 a month!

In this short video, our experts debate if paying a premium for Hulu is worth it.

What about you, readers? Would you pay twice as much to remove ads from Hulu? Do you even use Hulu at all, or do you prefer Amazon or Netflix for your entertainment needs? Tell us all about it in the comments below!

I most likely will keep Hulu Plus as they have some shows on it that neither Prime or Netflix offers. I can live with the ads as long as they don't increase their price there. It sure beats the cable TV that I have dropped over a year ago and do not plan to go back to. All of the local channels are received by an antenna on my roof and the quality of the signal is better than the cable.
I tried hulu.
The list of shows offered were Exactly the shows I went out of my way to AVOID when they originally Aired!
I mean the ENTIRE list of shows!
I only get one commerical that's shortevery 15 minutes.It gives me a break so I can go to the washroom or get a snack. I really don't want to pay double for ad free.
Anthony S Jennings
Hulu serves up fewer ads on Apple TV than on the desktop website. And during commercial breaks on Apple TV I can't recall seeing more than 2 ads per break. They don't serve up ads during Criterion Collection films.
My wife and I are cord-cutters - we used to pay about $60/mo for the step above basic cable, then cut down to Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Prime (more for shipping, less for Prime Instant Video). We honestly don't mind the adds on Hulu Plus, since we hardly watch over-the-air TV, and the only thing I really feel we're missing out on is Game of Thrones (yes, yes, a travesty, I'm banished from the land...) and current AMC episodes. I'm totally content with waiting for these to show up on Netflix, if it means spending half of what we were spending before! We may even get an HBO Go/Now subscription to binge-watch shows, then cancel when we're done!
No, I wouldn't. I don't think Hulu provides enough value for that kind of fee. I honestly don't see how anyone pays for Hulu right now when you consider they show ads. You're paying to see ads? I don't get it....
Lindsay Sakraida (DealNews)
@Al-in-SoCal From what I recall, Netflix was considering ads for their own shows, right? Kind of like HBO already does?
Yes - an added PLUS is that this would pressure Netflix into *NOT* resorting to ads as they are apparently planning on doing.
Lindsay Sakraida (DealNews)
I might try it and see if I end up using Hulu more without the ads. I pay for Plus now, and I like having it, but the ads annoy me; I don't mind seeing them necessarily, but I hate that I can't skip around in an episode very easily.
I would cut the cord in a heart beat for $12-14 a month ad free! I would pay up to 20 bucks ad free.

ADA: Summit Painted Beautiful Portrait of Dentistry

"Old age" used to be blamed for so many losses: vision, hearing, memory, muscle mass, bone strength, healing quickly. It turns out, though, that healthy aging is a mix of genetics, luck and effort. You can't do much about the first two, but that last one is a matter of choice.

"You truly have to create your own successful aging," says Salt Lake geriatrician Dr. Fred Gottlieb, who counsels patients to use their bodies and minds in new ways, to find meaning and stay active.

It is that quest that drives Gertrude Fish, 92, to tai chi class every Wednesday at the West Jordan Senior Center. It's why 102-year-old Margarete Hicken slow walks around the block with her walker. When Donna Landes was 89, she was on hospice, her death apparently imminent. Six months of calisthenics and yoga later, she sent the hospice people packing.

The landmark MacArthur Foundation Study of Successful Aging found three things that most impact quality of life for the elderly: staying actively engaged, reducing risk of disease as much as possible, and maintaining high physical and cognitive function levels.

The researchers found older participants who had the best lung function declined least over time. The consistently active declined half as much as couch potatoes. And moderate activity was as good as strenuous activity.

Decline was also less among those who worked or volunteered regularly into their old age. Those positives stretched over to decrease cognitive decline as well.

• Muscle, metabolism and mass: Much of what you bring as assets into old age was accumulated early. Girls peak in bone mass at about 14 to 16, boys around 18 or 19, so bone-building exercise and calcium intake are crucial for children. Later, you'll store less calcium, and bone mass starts to dwindle. Weight-bearing exercise and calcium supplements slow that down. With less dense bones, an individual is more likely to be hurt in a fall — or to fall in the first place.

If you don't keep building muscle mass and maintaining flexibility, it gets harder to do simple things like dressing and you'll tire more easily. Over time, metabolism slows, so there's simply more of you, which is not healthy. It can be jump-started with strength training and other exercises. The more muscle you build, the higher the metabolic rate and the more energy you have.

You can also improve balance by simple exercises like standing on one leg with your eyes closed. People who exercise and eat well are also less likely to develop diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

If all that's not reason enough, "We know those who smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, don't exercise or have high blood pressure are at higher risk of Alzheimer's," says Dr. Norman Foster, director of the University of Utah's Alzheimer's research center and a professor of neurology.

• Hearing loss has been tied to depression, anxiety, paranoia and social isolation. Volume-induced damage is cumulative, so avoiding it when you're young makes a difference when you're old. Stay away from loud sounds, and if you can't avoid the noise, wear ear protection. Right now, hearing loss is irreversible.

• The biggest vision stealer for the elderly is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Moran Eye Center's Dr. Paul Bernstein tells patients with the disease to take zinc, vitamins C and E, and beta-carotene to control the disease's progression. Not smokers, though, because the supplements increase the risk of lung cancer. (Smoking increases risk of AMD.) The supplements don't appear to help at early stages of the eye disease or against formation of cataracts — protecting your eyes from the sun is the best defense for that. Supplements may have side effects, so ask a doctor.

Some eye research suggests that lots of lutein (spinach, broccoli and other dark green, leafy vegetables) and zeaxanthin (corn, peaches, persimmons, mangoes) will decrease the risk of advanced AMD. Fish such as salmon that are high in omega-3 fatty acids may also lower that risk. Because of a dearth of scientific evidence, Bernstein takes no position on use of herbal compounds like bilberry, ginkgo biloba and eyebright.

• Staying engaged boosts body and brain. Gertrude Fish also crochets and does Swedish weaving and ceramics. Mary Jane Lyons, 85, makes hats for homeless men and exercises her brain with crossword puzzles.

Studies show that video games, puzzles, number games, brain teasers and computer games exercise the brain, improving memory and attention span. The greatest benefit comes from challenges that are not easy for you or that you don't do often, so a potter benefits more from math than from making art, while a tax attorney might benefit from learning French, since languages are typically a challenge, says Commission on Aging director Maureen Henry. Her grandmother, she notes, could do the Philadelphia Inquirer crossword puzzle every day without flaw but didn't know who her son was.

Whole industries are springing up around that brain-building concept. Most video gaming systems now have programs that target the elderly and "staying sharp." The Nintendo Wii is becoming a staple in nursing homes. Online "brain training" programs such as Lumosity are available by subscription. And LDS Hospital is using a program called Brain Builders to see if exercise helps those who already have Alzheimer's.

University of Utah gerontologist Scott Wright believes we should pay attention to people who are active and bright well into their old age. "Maybe there's something about their medical, physical, social and philosophical life we can learn from," he says. "Old age is like a land mine. If they stepped well, why not see where they stepped?"

Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
University of Utah senior Nina Kim is expected to help the Utes to another top finish at the NCAA championships this week.

For the last three years, the University of Utah has finished second to Georgia in the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships. Georgia is now the four-time defending national champion.

Each of those last three years, according to Ute seniors Nina Kim and Kristina Baskett, the team went to nationals sort of dreading the competition.

As the Utes await Thursday's team preliminaries in the 2009 championships at Nebraska, "it's totally different," said Kim, whose team has dedicated itself to finishing first this time, even if it's still ranked and seeded second.

"In years past, I felt like the team was scared, almost too scared to be there and do well," Kim said. "This year, it's like, 'Let's get there. Hurry up.' We're just excited to be out there.

"I'm excited that I feel like this, and the team feels like this, too."

Baskett feels it, as well.

"We just want to be there. We feel ready, so we're ready to just go in there and do it," she said, noting that this last week has been perhaps the hardest of the season, just because of the waiting, especially since the Utes feel so primed.

Baskett and Kim have noticed that the entire Utah team — 17-1 with its only loss at Georgia back on Jan. 19 — is of one will, one thought.

"The thing I see is just everybody talking about it, excited about it," Baskett said. "We just can't stop talking about it, can't stop talking about how cool it would be or how excited we are and the good feelings and signs we're getting.

"It's the hot topic this week, which is cool — knowing every single person is looking forward to it."

This team's attitude is also different, because they do hang around together and talk about their goal, even outside of the gym. They go shopping together, go out to eat and do other things together instead of going their separate ways. They seem to be the definition of the word team.

"We're so close and talk about anything and everything, and this is talked about a lot," said Baskett.

Kim said they actually dream individually about the team goal.

"We're feeling the same things, and I've never had that happen. Seeing, breathing, dreaming about this goal we have all together, and it's just more powerful that we're all dreaming it all together at the same time," Kim said. "That's just so different. It's like you can see it. When we see it in our minds, it feels like we're going through it.

"We look at it like, 'This is fun. We're so lucky we get to experience this. Not a lot of people get to experience this in life. We should just go out and let our lights shine.

"Everything's just so positive, and I just love that about our team this year.

"It's this weird feeling," Kim said. "I get chills all over my body."

Something else that gives Kim a strange feeling is that the parents of two of last year's Georgia gymnasts are on her ticket list for this year. When she competed for the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy near Dallas before coming to Utah, she was teammates with Nikki Childs and Megan Dowlen and lived with Dowlen's family for several years.

Now that Childs and Dowlen are done competing, Kim is treating their parents to the 2009 meet.

And, get this: They'll be cheering for the Utes.

"Of course. Their daughters are done. They're like, 'You can do it. It's Utah's time.' I think that says a lot," Kim said.

Ute coach Greg Marsden said that until someone knocks off Georgia, the Gym Dogs are the favorites, and other teams could be up to the task, as well, but he clearly thinks this Ute team has the goods.

With illness having hit two of his athletes over the past 12 days, Marsden is a little cautious, but says, "I think we've got a chance, barring something else happening that's out of our control — and if it's not too much, I think we could fill in and still give it a run."

    Conventions are rough. Long, boring speeches and power points. Then, hospitality suites, and shenanigans at the bar, followed by a poor sleep and greasy sausage for breakfast. When it's all over, you've got to try to figure out if you learned anything, and make your expense claim work.
    If they want to go this route, I hope they're all up for it.

    The Convention to Convention amendment procedure has never been used to add an amendment to the Constitution because basically it is pretty much impossible it will ever work.

    In the 1800s, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot tax interest paid by state and local governments on moneys they borrow to fund the governmental facilities and services they provide their citizens, because “the power to tax is the power to destroy”, and allowing the federal government to tax such state and local government activities would give the federal government power to control those activities, violating the Constitution’s separation of powers between the states and the federal government, and the 10th Amendment which guarantees the states’ powers. Now that the Supreme Court has virtually abdicated its duty to enforce the 10th Amendment, members of both parties in Congress are threatening to abolish this constitutionally protected tax exemption for interest paid by state and local governments. This would give the federal government unprecedented power over state and local governments’ purse-strings, would sound the death knell to the Constitution’s separation of powers, would turn state and local governments into mere subdivisions of the federal government, and would increase state and local taxes exponentially. Only a Constitutional Amendment can revitalize the 10th Amendment and prevent such an unconstitutional power-grab by the federal government.

    Webb: It’s time for the states to fight to restore their rightful role in the federal system. Never has the federal government been so dysfunctional or been held in such low esteem.

    Baloney -- You might want to read up on events leading up the Civil War of 1861-1865.

    That said --
    This is the exact same hyperbole the Southerners used to fan the flames of their little "rebellion" as well.

    I agree that there should be such a convention if it could be held to one or two amendments. The most important would be a balanced budget amendment, but I would also support an amendment allowing states to offer a single amendment without a constitutional convention. The ratification process should limit over reach.

    The problem that I see now with the Constitution is not a need for more amendments but a willingness of government to comply with the Constitution that we have now. If the Constitution can be ignored now, what good would changes be?

    One amendment that folks seem to want is Term Limits. I don't think that term limits would make a difference, because we already have term limits of 2, 4 or 6 years depending on the office. If the voters are unwilling or too apathetic to term limit someone, I doubt that constitutional term limits would make a difference.

  • Fitz Murray, UT
    July 7, 2014 10:50 a.m.

    That the Congress and the person holding office of President has strayed from the Constitution, I believe, is a given. Read some of the "Ant-Federalist" papers written back in the days the Constitution was in the process of being ratified. The Anti-Federalists made some very good points which show themselves today.

    The concept of a Constitutional Convention is spooky. Uncertainty is always a concern. Instead of pushing a Constitutional Convention, the states should be challenging the inappropriate actions of the federal government in federal courts. If enough states came together (2.3 would not be required) the states could bring much make into balance.

    Part of the power granted to the states was the state legislatures authority to appoint US Senators. That was lost when it became a vote of 'we the people' to pick our senators. A recovery of balance in this case would be term limits for senators (an House members as well.)

    Much can be fixed in the balance between the states and the federal government. But it would take time and agreement between the states.

    One comment to 'GaryO', Pignanelli is a democrat, Webb is a republican.

    I agree with you, but I am suggesting that yes, conservatives would be OK with living in a less powerful nation, if that meant they were able to maintain their version of freedom.

    Texas could execute people for shoplifting, Utah could become an explicit theocracy, Wyoming could drill for gas & oil inside Yellowstone Park.

    More seriously, if Utah were to split into two states - like has been suggested in Arizona, Colorado, and California - one state could be Salt Lake combined with Park City, maybe stretching down to include Moab.

    A bit like Iraq, the state lines in the US are often somewhat arbitrary. Most Eastern Oregonians want nothing to do with the liberals on the coast, Nevada is Democratic-leaning Las Vegas & very right-wing everywhere else (except maybe Reno).

    But hopefully you're right - this type of conversation may cause some reflection among our entrenched camps about exactly how much they want to remain a "Unites States", and how a lot of the political arguments we hear are highly over-amplified partisan rhetoric, helpful to very few.

    @ 10CC, the problem with your grand divorce agreement, Utah would be consigning itself to a country that would be third world in nature. But, on the other hand, if the suggestion would be enough to make conservative wake up and be rational for a change, then maybe the idea should be floated. Conservatives love welfare, when they are on it, and the idea of losing all the federal money would get their attention.

  • 10CC Bountiful, UT

    The Founding Fathers set their scruples aside and compromised like crazy to get our current Constitution created, notably the 3/5 compromise, where slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person for purposes of Congressional representation, but were still considered property with no voting rights.

    Further, everyone involved agreed not to talk about slavery for 20 years, for fear the young country and its constitution would be torn apart.

    I've not seen anything close to that level of compromise and statesmanship demonstrated in the past 30+ years. We're much too encamped in our separate ideologies. The Republicans can't even get along within their own tent!

    "Irreconcilable Differences" is a more accurate description of America today.

    Perhaps a grand divorce agreement is the right path, where the west coast is its own nation, most of Utah would join the Bible Belt, South and Midwest, and the east coast would be a third nation, or perhaps the two coasts would be one nation, or join Canada.

    Yes, we've reached that point.

    Most people are in agreement that some segments of the Federal government operate beyond the limits identified in the Constitution. So to fix the problem of adherence to the constitution limits we are going to hold a convention to create amendments that further limits the power of the Federal government? Am I missing something? If those in power disregard constitutional limits today then what makes anyone believe they would adhere to any new limitations tomorrow.

    The Constitution is not the problem! ignorance of or a disregard for the Constitution is part of the issue. Here are a couple of relevant quotes:

    "Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion, and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens" Washington, Farewell Address,1796

    "A culture obsessed with technology will come to value personal convenience above almost all else, and ours does. That has consequences we will explore. Among those consequences', however, is impatience with anything that interferes with personal convenience. Religion, morality, and law do that …" Bork, Slouching Towards Gomorrah, 1996

    I would support such a constitutional convention if someone would tell me who is to fill the role of Adams (mastermind) and of Washington (the steady hand).

    So far, none in sight.

  • Gildas LOGAN, UT

    Am I alone in not trusting my local and state legislators. They did do one good thing in the State Capitol though: they reduced the sales tax on food though I wish they would finish the job and eliminate it along with all taxes upon necessities.

    The people of Utah are usually trustworthy in supporting basic morality but seem to love increasd taxation and the public schools far too readily. So far as taxation is concerned Utah has increased the percentage sales taxes from four percent to almost seven percent in a generation.

    Who do I trust? My Father in Heaven. I read that he is cursed that trusts in the arm of flesh and am daily reminded of the veracity of that statement.

    Finally if federal government is already ignoring the Constitution what makes anyone think they will honor an amended Constitution.

  • GaryO Virginia Beach, VA

    “ . . . overzealous trampling of basic rights and strangling entrepreneurial endeavors — demonstrate the feds are out of control . . .”

    WRONG. That opinion shows that Right Wing extremism has polluted mainstream thought, causing massive “dysfunction and gridlock at the federal level.”

    “Citizens understand the federal government has grown too large, too unwieldy, too top-heavy, too bureaucratic and too ungovernable.”

    WRONG. Right Wing Extremists think that.

    The government is not perfect and it should be streamlined wherever possible. Continual improvement is a worthy enterprise, but the government needs to be large enough to be effective and “promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” Arbitrarily downsizing all aspects of government is just silly. But certain areas, like the military, obviously need to be downsized.

    “ . . . the utter irrationality and naivety of the paranoid ultra-right . . .” Look who’s talking.

    Come on Webb and Piganelli, your political positions are themselves ultra-right . . . Maybe not quite as far right as those “Conservatives” who murder police officers and cover their bodies with the cherished Tea Party flag and Swastika . . . But still pretty far right.

    Many of the problems would have been solved the last few years if Sen. Reid wouldn't have blocked them. The House passed bill after bill and the Senate sat on them.

    If they would pass small and simple bills, on the ideas that they agree on, no matter who sponsored them, things would work. No, they are too 7th grade for that.

    We don't need a new constitution, we need a new congress and president, or at least new leadership.

    Do I trust a Constitutional Convention to the lot we have now? Not at this time.

hi I Cna't remember if I posted on here before so I am just amking sure.My name is Steven Snell. I'm new to this forum. I live in Canada and my number 1 hobby is web design. Right now as my day job I work in the Accounts Receivable department at a Crown Mouldings company but I am working towards branching out into website design full-time. Currently I run a website that serves the deal-oriented community where I live it started out when my wife Fran and I were in talks with the local chamber of commerce about the possibility of producing a coupon book for the local businesses that would serve the tourist market. it was about that time That I was starting to take courses at Sport Shaw College and I had bought an (Overpriced) Dreamweacver package so it seemed natural to merge the 2 projects. What i am most proud of is the fact that we have managed to make this website interactive with the help of a Guestbook. We really feel as thpough we have brought the deal-oriented communyty together where they never really had a forum to talk before. Anyway I am here to get feedback on my site from other professionals and to share ideas so take a look:

and let me know what you think . I would be happy to give you tips and feebdack on yours as well.

my friend and i would like to drive with a vespa through the tuscany on our own. Our accommodation is located in Florence. I've found a lot of information about the chianti region. Does anybody have more information where we should drive? And how we find these country roads which are good for vespas? Or would you recommend only organized tours?
Is there any possibilty to get a map for a vespa tour through the tuscany?
Thanks for help!

Re: Timer in DFly vs FBSD

From: Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 12:01:05 -0800 (PST)

:Why is the timer in DFly handled differently between the 2 OSes?  I noticed
:the main web page says that gives us fine grained timer abstraction.  How
:so?  And why does DFly want Timer 2?

FreeBSD uses timer 0 for its 'hz' hardclock interrupt, which is usually a
fixed 100hz or 1000hz interrupt.  But FreeBSD does *not* have a fine-grained
timer interrupt.  That is, if you want a timer interrupt to occur in 500uS
you are S.O.L.  The best you can do is +/- 1/hz.  Because FreeBSD uses a
fixed interval for timer 0 it means that it can also use timer 0 to as a
real-time clock, to calculate seconds and microseconds, though FreeBSD will
use other timers instead (TSC, LAPIC, ACPI) if possible.

DragonFly uses timer 0 for its SYSTIMER fine-grained timer interrupt, which
means that DragonFly is constantly reprogramming timer 0 for whatever the
next requested interval is.  This means that DragonFly cannot use timer 0
to calculate real time.  So what DragonFly does is program timer 2 to a
full periodic count (65536 counts then rolls and starts over).  DragonFly
can theoretically use other system timers (TSC, LAPIC, ACPI) for this,
though each has its quirks (including timer 2 which can be interfered with
by the BIOS).

At the moment I've got alternative timer support ripped out of DragonFly in
order to be able to focus on creating a consistent and reliable API.  But,
eventually, we will definitely want to add support for the other timers back

The problem with these alternative timers is that they have some rather
serious quirks.  The TSC, for example, often runs slower when the cpu
is throttled.  The ACPI timer is often not properly latched by hardware and
it takes multiple reads to get a stable count out of it.  The LAPIC timer
might not exist (if there is no APIC), and so forth.  And the BIOS may munge
the 8254 timer 2.  It's really a pretty dreadful situation.

How and When do I Potty Train?

Dr. Greene, how and at what age do you start potty training? I have heard so many different ages. My son is two next week. Thanks, Dr. Greene! Just trying to do this right.
Kathy Mills – Salt Lake City, Utah

Dr. Greene’s Answer:

One of the great adventures and accomplishments of childhood waits just around the corner. Even though learning to use the potty is a universal rite of passage, experts have wildly different ideas about when and how to proceed.

Some recommend doing almost nothing and letting nature take its course. Others consider the process of active potty training to be of critical importance to future psychological development. Who is right?

The truth is that sometimes kids do learn to use the potty with almost no help from parents. Most of the time, though, they need our guidance and encouragement.

No single method is best for every child. By understanding the underlying forces that surround this event, you will be able to understand which of the many recommendations are most likely to work for your little one.

I’ll outline for you here an approach that, with some individual variation, will work for most kids.

With any adventure, it’s wise to be prepared before you set out. The time to start depends far more on development than on age. Here are some signs that your child is ready:

  • Cute moments when your little one mimics Dad or Mom.
  • Frustrated moments when a person or toy is in the wrong place (“No, Mommy! — Here!”).
  • A trail of clothes strewn across the floor as your toddler gleefully tries to undress.
  • A face glowing with pride at an accomplishment.
  • Curiosity about the toilet and the genitals – theirs and yours.
  • Talking about pee pee and poo poo.
  • Dawning awareness of when pee pee and poo poo are happening – especially just before the fact.

As these signs of readiness are emerging, reinforce your toddler’s awareness of toileting. Watching parents, friends, or animals helps. Better yet – alert your child when you see that he has gone, is going, or needs to go.

When you notice behavior such as straining, tugging at the clothes or shifting from foot to foot, point it out! Even when it is obvious to everyone else, it may still be a mystery to a child. Help him learn his body’s signals. Let your child run around naked – watching it happen live a few times speeds everything up. When he does poop in the diaper, begin going together to put the stool in the toilet, so he will learn that pee pee and poo poo belong in the potty.

When you are ready, introduce a potty as follows:

Dress for Success

The long-term goal is to enable your child to go to the potty on his or her own body’s signal, and to need little outside help with any part of the procedure, from sitting down to washing up afterwards. While the complete process may take a couple of years (the ability to wipe oneself effectively is often the last skill to be mastered), there is no time like the present to set your child up for success. Dress kids in loose clothes that they can easily take off by themselves.

Keep diapers off as much as is practical during toilet training. This will increase awareness and motivation for success. Big boy underpants are great! Pull-ups can prevent messes, but if you use them, I recommend cotton ones if you used paper diapers or paper ones if you used cloth diapers, so that they do not feel like diapers to your child. Nighttime diapers are still appropriate until your child begins to have dry diapers in the morning. This can normally take a couple of years after daytime control. If it lasts longer, talk with your pediatrician.

The Age-Old Question

A child is happily playing with blocks, but suddenly an intense expression appears on his face. The room gets uncharacteristically quiet. He squats behind the couch, and his cheeks begin to get red. “Honey, do you need to go potty?” you ask.

“No!” declares the toddler automatically. The question doesn’t help anything. Instead, tell your child what you observe, and tell her, “It’s time to go potty!”

Potty Time

At the beginning, you might want to set a timer for every 2 hours. When the timer goes off – “It’s time to go to the potty.” If he appears to need to go, or says he needs to go – “It’s potty time.” Make potty time something to look forward to. Keep your child company while he or she sits on the potty for a few minutes. You may want to have books, toys, or a box of dress-up accessories that are only used during potty time. Your undivided attention is the key ingredient.

Encourage your child to celebrate successes. If nothing happens, smile and say he’s learning. When accidents happen (and they will – poop on the carpet is part of the learning experience), don’t scold your child, but scoop it up, put it in the potty, and say, “Soon you’ll be able to get it in the potty every time!”

After a week or so of success, change potty time to “Head into the bathroom and sit on the potty – I’ll be there with you in a minute!” When this is working well, progress to “Let me know when you’re done, I’ll check your bottom.” Gradually encourage his independence.

And make no mistake – independence is what is happening here. Toilet learning is a wonderful, bittersweet snapshot of growing up. Changing his diapers for him was a central part of his life (and yours) up until now. Soon, for both of you, it will be time to celebrate no more dirty diapers!

Burnouts And The Art Of Avoiding Poles

Written By:

A powerful car with more than enough horses under the hood and an onlooker with a video camera is more than enough to grow a long tail and two horns, and do something to make everybody envy the car—a burnout!

This is exactly what happened in the following video when a Classic Camaro spots an onlooker with a video camera and decides to show off a bit.

classic camaro hits pole doing burnout

To his luck, the road is empty, so he decides to do a burnout. It all goes well, lots of smoke and burning rubber, until he loses control, gets a bit sideways and knocks his car into a pole!

The classic Camaro comes to a classic halt. It will be an expensive affair to fix the car, but the lady who screams at the end, priceless!

Caring for delicate natural fibers can be a daunting task, especially when your wool turns to felt by heat, water, and agitation. You’d rather not pay to have someone else clean it, but you also don’t want to wreck your treasured wool by washing it yourself at home.

To lighten your load, we’ll provide you with a simple 4-step handwashing process for getting your wool clean once again.

Step 1 Fill a basin or sink with cool water and add a mild detergent that’s free of bleach, such as Dropps Mini Laundry Detergent Pacs. Begin to swish the water around to creat suds. Place the piece of wool clothing into the water and swirl it around until it’s completely wet. Don’t scrub or stretch the wool, which can damage the shape and fibers. Let sit for 10 minutes for deep cleaning.

Step 2 Gather the piece of clothing into your hands, lift it out of the water and gently press a few times to remove excess water. Empty the soapy water and refill the basin or sink with cool water. Submerge the sweater and swirl around to rinse. Empty and refill the basin again with fresh water, repeating the rinsing process.

*Keep in mind that wool should not be wrung, twisted, or dried in a dryer.

Step 3 Gather the sweater, gently press to remove water and lay it on a white or colorfast towel that has been spread on a flat waterproof surface. Spread another white or colorfast towel on top so that the sweater is sandwiched between the towels. Starting from the top, tightly roll the towels downward together— they’ll absorb most of the moisture in the sweater.

Step 4 Unroll and pick up the piece of clothing; lay it on a third white or colorfast towel that has been spread on a flat waterproof surface away from sunlight and heat (to keep the wool from becoming brittle). Gently reshape the wool clothing, extending the arms and buttoning, if necessary. Let dry. To touch up wrinkles, turn it inside out and iron on low heat with steam (but first, test on a small area).

Think of all the dry cleaner bills you'll save on now that you can wash your favorite sweaters at home!

Molecule prevents positive effect of sport

Physical exercise improves insulin sensitivity and thus reduces the risk for type 2 diabetes. However, every fifth person fails to improve after physical excercise intervention. Researchers from the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) found out why. They discovered that the signaling molecule TGFß is activated in the muscles of non-responders. TGFß inhibits genes that are involved in the glucose and fat oxidation and reduces insulin sensitivity. The DZD study involved 20 people with a high risk for type 2 diabetes who participated in a two-month long exercise program. They all lost weight and became more fit, yet in eight participants the insulin sensitivity did not improve. It may be that personalized training could help to lower the diabetes risk in these non-responders.

For Zion

Full Product Description

What is hope? What is Zion? And what does it mean to hope for Zion? In this insightful book, Joseph Spencer explores these questions through the scriptures of two continents separated by nearly two millennia. In the first half, Spencer engages in a rich study of Paul's letter to the Roman to better understand how the apostle understood hope and what it means to have it. In the second half of the book, Spencer jumps to the early years of the Restoration and the various revelations on consecration to understand how Latter-day Saints are expected to strive for Zion. Between these halves is an interlude examining the hoped-for Zion that both thrived in the Book of Mormon and was hoped to be established again.

Praise for For Zion:

"For Zion: A Mormon Theology of Hope is more than a theological reflection. It also consists of able textual exegesis, historical contextualization, and philosophic exploration. Spencer's careful readings of Paul's focus on hope in Romans and on Joseph Smith's development of consecration in his early revelations, linking them as he does with the Book of Mormon, have provided an intriguing, intertextual avenue for understanding what true stewardship should be for us-now and in the future. As such he has set a new benchmark for solid, innovative Latter-day Saint scholarship that is at once provocative and challenging." - Eric D. Huntsman, author, The Miracles of Jesus

"With For Zion, Joseph Spencer develops the Mormon tradition of Zion, writing in the style of Hugh Nibley-mixing Old Testament and New Testament studies with commentary on the Book of Mormon, the Joseph Smith revelations, and early Mormon history. The main area of development is the addition of theology, Spencer's expertise. Mormon readers much prefer scriptural commentary and history to theology, but Spencer weaves in his theological arguments and reflections in a readable and accessible manner. He also tracks the textual development of Joseph Smith's consecration revelation with great care and provides historically informed readings. And the whole work is aimed at the redemption of Zion. For Zion proves that there can be such a thing as genuinely Mormon theology." - Mark Ashurst-McGee, Joseph Smith Papers

"The hour is late. Our eyes are heavy. Working without rest, possessed by our possessions, and consumed by fantasies of acquisition and success we know full well, even were they to be realized, offer no relief from what's eating us, we stumble. 'Wake up!' Spencer calls. 'Have hope! The kingdom of God is among us, Zion is real, the Sabbath is here, and the law of consecration remains, as it must, in full force!'" - Adam S. Miller, author, Rube Goldberg Machines: Essays in Mormon Theology

"Joseph Spencer is one of the most astute readers of sacred texts working in Mormon Studies. Blending theological savvy, historical grounding, and sensitive readings of scripture, he has produced an original and compelling case for consecration and the life of discipleship." - Terryl Givens, author, Wrestling the Angel: The Foundations of Mormon Thought

For Zion by Joseph M Spencer was published by Greg Kofford Books, Inc. in June 2014. The ISBN for For Zion is 9781589585683.

Poor Seats and Bad Gas Mileage
By newowner2012 on

2008 Nissan Rogue SL 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

I bought my 2008 FWD Rogue a week ago. I am so disappointed. I commute 60 miles round trip via Interstate to work, so little of my mileage is in town. I am lucky to get 23 mpg. I don't drive super fast, usually anywhere between 60 and top out at 80 on rare occasions. I see reviews on here of people getting fantastic gas mileage. I don't understand why mine is so poor! Any ideas? My gas costs have gone up $100/month (projected) and I had not planned for that kind of an increase!

The seats for me are very uncomfortable. My upper back has no support. The upper part of the seat leans back too far for me and I find myself in pain.

Terrible time seeing out the back - dangerous to back up!

Best Features

Aesthetics - exterior looks nice. Enjoying being higher up than in a sedan and like I have more storage now.

Worst Features

Poor gas mileage, Poor visibility, uncomfortable seats, few places to place items in car.

You should get better gas milage, dirty air filter? fuel filter? Mayber there are other factors other than your driving habits that are slightly hindering your fuel economy. A clean air filter and tune up never hurt! As far as the comfort that is a personal preference, and backing up is easier in the Rogue than it was in my Maxima (better turn radius than 04 Maxima and bigger mirrors).

Science Project:

How Much Time Does Technology Take?

4.5 based on 6 ratings

  • Which age group has the most accurate perception of how much time they spend using technology?
  • Which age groups interact with technology most?

In this experiment, surveys will be used to evaluate which age groups have the most accurate perception of the amount of time spent interacting with domestic technology like televisions, cell phones and computers. Students will also discover which age groups spend the most time using these various forms of technology.

  • Test subjects in a variety of age groups
  • Computer
  • Printer
  • Notebooks

  1. Create a survey to give to your test subjects that asks them to estimate the amount of time they spend using domestic technology. Example questions could include:
    • How many hours do you spend watching television each week?
    • How much personal time (not working) do you spend online each day?
    • How many personal text messages do you send each week?
    • How many hours do you spend on your personal cell phone each week?
  2. Distribute the survey to an equal number of males and females in a variety of age groups (teens, college age, young adult, middle-age adults, and older adults). Include approximately 20 test subjects in each age group.
  3. Distribute notebooks and ask your test subjects to keep track of the amount of personal time they spend using cell phones, televisions and computers each day for one week. Each time they use one of these items, ask participants to record the type of technology used, duration of usage, and purpose of usage.
  4. After one week, compare the surveys and notebooks from each participant. Tally the actual technology usage for each test subject and compare this number to the estimated usage recorded in their survey. Calculate the percent error of each test subject’s overall estimate. Calculate the percent error of each test subject’s usage estimate for each individual form of technology. Average the results for each age group. Which group had the most accurate perception of time spent using technology? Which group spends the most time using each form of technology? Which group spends the most personal time using technology overall?

Terms/Concepts: technology; domestic technology; percent error

La Vie Bohème? Exploring Privilege, Creativity and Activism at Wanderlust. ~ Katie Sachs

Via elephant journal
on Jun 30, 2011
get elephant's newsletter

PART ONE: Wandering through privilege and Lusting for music.

When my partner, Ari, scored us press passes to cover the Wanderlust Yoga, Music and Nature festival at Stratton Mountain, VT for Elephant Journal, I was ecstatic. I am a musician and activist who gravitates towards festivals, and I recently started practicing yoga with Ari after he completed his teacher training. The event embodied our two passions combined into one – all an hour and a half drive away from us in my favorite state: Vermont. Perfect.

In the weeks leading up to Wanderlust, I envisioned Ari and I frolicking in the lush, green hills from tent to tent – interviewing accomplished musicians and yoga teachers, dancing to music everywhere and taking a few classes. When the forecast predicted rain my imagination shifted to include muddy hippies dancing with each other and slippery yoga mats underfoot of warrior posing yogis. Of course, my vision included Ari and I laughing and scrambling to do everything in our power to keep our camera and computer dry as we typed out our reports.  For better or for worse, I was in for a very different experience, not realizing that the billed activities of “Yoga. Music. Nature.” were to be emphasized in that order.

As we pulled up to Stratton Mountain ski resort after driving through sheets of rain, I was surprised to discover that I would not be spending very much time outdoors at all. The parking garage connected directly to the main building, and housed the cafeteria- called “the food co-op;” where coffee, beer and pizza were all available for purchase. When I heard there was going to be a food co-op at the festival, I was excited, however I later learned that the food service in the main building cafeteria was provided by the Village at Stratton (resort caterers.) The festival did bring in local food vendors, and there were a handful, including the Krishna Kitchen, selling food out of a tent outside.  Different locations throughout the ski resort were labeled with titles of sponsors or other themes.  Despite being comfortably dry and entering a co-op that looked nothing like my local food co-op, the fact that the festival labeled one of its venues Rue Bohème made me hopeful to encounter other artists.

Our first stop required a 4-minute stroll through the rain to the Gaiam tent, for a class,
lead by yoga activist Seane Corn and other leaders of Off the Mat Into the World.

I had heard a lot about Seane from Ari, who is interested in spiritual activism, and was
impressed by the way she communicated her message to the over 100 practitioners
present. I appreciated her acknowledgment of the privilege in the room, and wondered, in my judgment, about the thoughts and feelings of the audience that was; well groomed, mostly female and mostly white.(See Ari’s article on the class to find out more.)

The Off the Matt class was my first practice in examining my own judgments and prejudices at Wanderlust. As the day went on and I began to get more acclimated to my new surroundings, I started to feel a bit like a fish out of water.  The music, which was supposed to happen outside, was moved into the cafeteria because of the rain, where talented and captivating artists like Sonia Kitchell ended up playing either to a mostly empty room (her first set) or a room that was packed with hungry yogis, who’s chatter was equal in volume to her sound system.

As I people-watched, I couldn’t help but feel a little ratty in my Salvation Army sweatshirt and free pile yoga sweat pants as the other women walked by, sporting new tight-fitting Lululemon pants. “Is this a gathering for wealthy fashionable women?” I wondered. “Where are the musicians and bohemians?”

Though I ached for more music, the yoga class I took next was extremely nourishing and challenging. It was John Friend’s class, entitled “Creating Art Through the Body.” I felt that he really understood the connection between movement and art, and how yoga and music are intrinsically connected – something I discover more and more about as I deepen my own practice (more on this in part two).  Mostly, however, I felt comforted and grateful for the invocation of creativity in the yoga practice, as well as a sense of inclusion.

As soon as I left the tent and returned to the gloomy weather, however, I sunk back into feelings of isolation and guilt. The restriction of the rain to greater outdoor exploration pushed me into these emotions even further. My mind was flooded with thoughts like:

“How can you complain?! You got to come here for free! Do you know how many people would kill to be in your position?!”

“Look at you judging these people,” I said to myself. “They are probably really nice and work hard for their money. Though you are currently a low-income Americorps member, you do have a college education and come from a middle class background. What right do you have to judge?”

I was back to a familiar internal struggle, sprinkled with self-doubt and guilt. There I was, staring face to face with my repulsion/rejection of privilege, while at the same time not wanting to part with the benefits I receive from it.  My attitude towards the festival reflected my attitude towards the rain: I wanted to go out, get dirty and explore, but also wanted to stay warm and dry.

Stay tuned for part two and find out how my perception changed over the course of the weekend. Also, check out my interview with Wanderlust co-founder, Sean Hoess.
