January with a 9 month old(5 Posts)
I am heading back to work in February post may leave and DH has tonight suggested we go on holiday in January, with our 9 month old DS.
Long or short haul, 1 or 2 weeks, nothing over the top but a bit of warm weather and a few things to do. In general we are more city break types than beach babes.
What would you do and where would you recommend?(I have posted in long & short haul).
if baby wants to crawl/walk at that time I'm sorry, but flying is an absolute nightmare.
it's boring for her, a whingeing baby is annoying for others and could be pretty embarrassing for you - I just hate the looks from others.
I know, I've flown with my older 4 children at various ages, many times for 2 1/2 flights - I just don't do it anymore.
plus safety rules make it impossible to take extra (emergency) milk cartons for bottle feeding or baby food in cabin bag, it's so stressful I had a panic attack the last time.
oh and babies and toddlers might scream for the entire time of descending due to painful ear popping... (though if you feed them through it the swallowing action can reduce discomfort/pain)
perhaps I gave up because I traveled on my own while DH at work, it was just too much...
I understand your reasons and of course don't want to scare you away, you might have a lovely and easy time, but I had to warn you! sorry!
I found it easier to fly once they are a year old and older and can be distracted easier with books, colouring, and you can do without special milks and bottles (if bf of course that's no probs anyway)
(btw we have 6 kids and I can cope with a lot of things - flying with a baby who can't sit still, but wants to crawl/walk between the aisles constantly or else it's war and you are stuck there for hours in a cross fire of laser looks - no thank you)
Thanks for your answer. I currently bf, which makes it a little easier but I can definitely see where you're coming from. Lots to think about.
Currently looking tentatively at Tenerife which is 4-5h. There'll be DH & me but DS tends not to nap... So not sure.
Can you tell this is all new to me?!
bless you, to be honest if you are breast feeding it does make things easier both from the feeding and the calming point of view, so maybe you should just ignore me and go for it!
but I won't
what made me utterly panic was that mine were just bottle fed by then and I was worried what if they are sick up the feed or I knock over a bottle or whatever, I just can't produce another one... or what if the flight is delayed? or what if there are problems on the arrival side? and I'm mid air or mid traffic and they will starving/screaming and I just can't do anything about it!
so I prepared extra sterilized bottles with 200ml cooled boiled water and pre-measured milk powder and also prepared carton feeds.
they wanted me to sip water from the bottles, but I decanted some water into the lid instead to avoid contaminating the water and was made to do this with all 5 bottles.
it was humiliating and extremely stressful, but I totally lost my rag when they asked me to open and taste the cartons of milk I had ( just in case) - I told them that I can't!
if I did they need to be be used within 2 hours, or kept in the fridge - I can't do either so I might as well just throw them away, but I need them for emergencies unopened and/or also for flight home!
I had a massive panic attack and was crying like a baby ...it was just horrible. Unless I had to fly for wedding or funeral I'd give it a miss until they are 1 year or more
but if the feeding bit is not such an issue, as you are still breast feeding and it's the 2 of you anyway to distract him and share the "aisles" walks it won't be so bad hopefully.
oh yes, you might want to take painkillers for the flight, you can buy 5ml sachets of it from Tesco, Boots or chemist, again just in case of teething pain, fever or earache.
if you go have a great time, others do!
We flew to the Balearics and Dominican Republic with DS2 when he was 6 and 12 months old respectively and it was absolutely fine. He was FF, but there were no restrictions on taking liquids on board then.
We are flying to Mexico (11 hours) with 4 DC in December and my youngest 2 are 8 (he has Downs Syndrome, so not the average 8 year old) and 17 months. I am not really worried about it tbh, although I expect it to be less relaxing than an 11 hour flight sans children. I am still breastfeeding 17 month old DD, although I am not entirely sure how helpful that will really be due to the fact she is so easily distracted and doesn't really breastfeed very much when out now.
As for where to go, we opted for Mexico this time as we wanted guaranteed warm weather and if we did get rain wanted 'carribean rain' (mainly short heavy downpours that dry up very quickly) and the beach for the DC, but lots to do outside of the resort too and the chance to walk into the local villages/towns etc. We've been before and loved it, it's a lot more developed than most of the Carribean. It's also not quite so hot in the winter months as most of the Carribean, but still mid to late twenties. Not sure if that helps?!

News about Charlie Sheen's downward spiral only continues to increase, with the latest rash including a restraining order to stay more than 100 feet from his estranged wife Brooke Mueller and his twin boys. Though his highly publicized behavior should cause concern, both the media and the public are eating it up. Can you believe that ABC's 20/20 interview with Sheen gave the network the highest ratings for a newsmagazine program in more than two years? In many ways, we are enabling Sheen by tuning in to him (it's easy, right?). But why?
Beverly Flaxington: Deep down inside there is a part of us that is both connected to, and repelled by, Charlie's behavior. We are all capable of acting out or doing things under stress that we often aren't proud of, so by watching Charlie we [can relate], although we may not admit it to ourselves. In another way, we also like to have the ability to point the finger and say, "I might have my quirks but I would never do anything like that." By watching him derail, we can feel somewhat superior in our confidence that we'd never resort to or devolve into this type of behavior.
Beverly Flaxington: Well, let's face it -- sensationalism sells, so the media is incentivized to both encourage and profile this behavior from a ratings perspective. What is being profiled, though, has nothing to do with human compassion or even "opening our eyes" because 99 percent of the people watching this aren't like Charlie Sheen -- they don't have his riches, his connections and his public persona. So in effect there is no possible positive outcome because, again, we want to separate ourselves and say we'd never do what he is doing -- while in reality, we'd never get the chance to even if we could or would!
Beverly Flaxington: The biggest lesson is to see how big the public appetite is for this type of thing. We're not seeing headlines about the star who may be sacrificing to do some amazing charitable thing, or who may be working through relationship issues [in a responsible, adult fashion], or who may be putting their children first. We hear about these things, of course, but it never takes on the level of attraction that Charlie Sheen has taken on. I believe the best thing we can learn is to turn off the TV and refuse to participate in the hype -- as a public response we need to show that we really don't care. When it comes down to it, really, what does it matter to any one of us in our day-to-day lives?
Beverly Flaxington: Great question. The reality is that we all deal with Charlie Sheens of a different variety in our lives from time-to-time. The best thing is to recognize that they are the ones with the problem and they are choosing to act out for their own reasons. We don't psychoanalyze them, we don't allow ourselves to get triggered by them, we don't submit to their ramblings and attacks. We adopt an attitude of "Interested Observer" watching what's happening but refusing to get drawn in to it.
Beverly Flaxington: Charlie Sheen is a hurting man, for sure. I'm not a mental health professional but I would have to assume there are some underlying mental issues -- although I have also seen [otherwise mentally healthy] people under extreme stress behave in very outlandish ways. He may be finding the attention gratifying in some way and actually is seeking to continue to stay in the limelight by continuing these actions. In many cases, people are drawn to the attention they receive for negative behaviors so we really don't know whether there is an underlying problem here or he is acting out because it gives him something he needs, from a psychological perspective.
SheKnows: Do we watch Sheen or do we refuse to give him the attention he so obviously is eating up?
Beverly Flaxington: Turn it off and if someone brings him up just respond with, "Yes, poor guy. What's up with you?" to turn the conversation in another direction!

Geniez broke away on a solo escape before the last of four category-one climbs to claim the 225-kilometer (140-mile) stage starting in the principality of Andorra, passing through Spanish territory, and finishing at the Peyragudes summit.
The 25-year-old Geniez, riding for FDJ.FR, crossed the finish line in 6 hours, 20 minutes, 12 seconds. Michele Scarponi was second, more than three minutes behind, and Nicolas Roche was third before the group of favorites finished together with Nibali in front.
"I wasn't able to enjoy it until the last two kilometres," Geniez said after the biggest victory of his career. "You never know if you are empty and it could mean the end. It has been my best day."
Nibali, the Giro d'Italia winner, showed his good form by staying pegged to Alejandro Valverde, Joaquim Rodriguez, and Christopher Horner each time they tried to pull away.
Nibali kept his 50-second lead over Horner. Valverde is 1:42 behind the Italian, with Rodriguez trailing by 2:57.
"It was a tough day. It was very cold and windy," Nibali said. "Besides, Purito (Rodriguez) and Horner tried to attack. I tried to attack as well, but with the wind blowing against me I couldn't pick up the pace. I felt strong but I preferred to save my energy for what's to come."
The Vuelta is proving as demanding as was expected when organizers announced that 13 of its 21 stages would be held in the mountains.
Rain and cold temperatures forced 16 riders to retire- with some showing signs of hypothermia- during Saturday's uphill ride into Andorra. Another 10 riders, including world road race champion Philippe Gilbert and world time trial champion Tony Martin, couldn't continue during Sunday's stage that saw varying temperatures, showers and patches of fog.
That leaves only two of the 22 teams- Nibali's Astana and Euskaltel-Euskadi- which are still complete.
Valverde said that he had taken extra clothing along after the cold had almost caused him to crash on Saturday.
"I felt well (today), but I looked at my rivals and saw they weren't doing too bad either," said Valverde, who won the Vuelta in 2009. "It's difficult. They are very strong. But I have good sensations and there's still a lot of racing to go."
Monday's 16th stage is the third and last in the Pyrenees, a 147-kilometre (91-mile) ride from Graus to Aramon Formigal. The three-week grand tour ends in Madrid on Sept. 15.
Vuelta a Espana, Peyragudes, Spain
Leading positions after Stage 15 (Andorra - Peyragudes, 224.9km): 1 Alexandre Geniez (Fra) FDJ.fr 6hrs 20mins 12secs, 2 Michele Scarponi (Ita) Lampre-Merida at 3mins 03secs, 3 Nicolas Roche (Irl) Team Saxo-Tinkoff at 3.07, 4 Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Astana Pro Team at 3.20, 5 Alejandro Valverde Belmonte (Spa) Movistar Team at same time, 6 Christopher Horner (USA) RadioShack Leopard at same time, 7 Joaquim Rodriguez Oliver (Spa) Katusha at same time, 8 Domenico Pozzovivo (Ita) AG2R La Mondiale at same time, 9 Josi Herrada Lopez (Spa) Movistar Team at 3.23, 10 David Arroyo Duran (Spa) Caja Rural-Seguros RGA at same time

Police are appealing for the owner of a Shetland pony to come forward after it was found wandering in the road.
The pony, which was spotted near Truckhaven in Carnforth on Saturday morning, then headed off towards Pine Lake and ended up swimming in the River Keer and had to be rescued.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: "We received a call to report a pony in the road headed towards Pine Lake roundabout.
"Police got the horse into Pine Lake off the road and looked for potential owners.
"No-one was found and a vet was called. The pony then decided to take a swim in the river near Truckhaven.
"The fire service were called out and tried to get the pony out. It had gone under the bridge swimming but was starting to tire.
"By 10.55am, the pony was out of the river. We still don't have an owner for it.
"We would appeal for the owner or anyone who might know who the owner is to contact us."
The pony is currently being looked after until its owner is found.
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Join an Association — and Find Strength in Numbers
- Article by:Health Career Center
Helen Keller once said, "alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
Was she explaining why healthcare professionals should consider joining a professional association? Honestly, we doubt it. But when you look at the many upsides that association memberships offer, her words ring truer than ever.
After all, a professional association membership gives you a variety of opportunities to further your career goals and enhance your personal development. And there are so many options – a quick online search is likely to yield multiple national, state and regional chapters in your area.
With a job market that's growing at record rates, it's vital that you start distinguishing yourself from your competition now. Becoming a member of a respected association in your field could give you just the advantage you need.
Still not convinced? Here are a few more reasons why you should consider joining a professional association today.
Instantly gain a bigger, better network.
From the moment you join a professional association, you're put in touch with the most influential thought leaders in your field. You also gain entry to a wide array of seminars, conventions, and other events where everyone in attendance is in a unique position to help you.
Opportunities to meet and network with influencers like these are priceless to people in any industry – but few get to enjoy them on the scale that healthcare association members do. Why not start taking advantage of them now?
Get more chances to give back to your field.
Beyond the obvious benefits of networking, associations also give you the tools you need to develop your leadership skills and guide younger members down the path to success. You can share wisdom in person at one of your chapter's member events, or participate online in discussion boards where everyone can benefit from your experience and expertise.
If your dream is to make a difference on a civic level, many associations promote community efforts and social initiatives. Because every once in a while, we can all use the change of pace that comes with caring for people in a non-hospital setting.
Access a wide array of exclusive resources.
Many health systems target associations for job openings, so you'll only hear about them if you're a member. These associations may also offer exclusive seminars on industry trends and resume-writing support, which give you even more advantages when it comes to landing your dream job.
Last but not least, you can't put a price on knowing that an entire organization is there to support you. Healthcare is a demanding field, and few others heap as much responsibility on its workers. When you feel the pressure – as we all do at some point – it feels good to connect with others who know exactly what you're going through.
If you want to join an association, HealthCareerCenter.com is a great place to start. As one of the original founders of the National Healthcare Career Network (NHCN), we have strong ties to more than 300 professional associations and societies, all working to connect healthcare professionals with great job opportunities.
Together, there's nothing we can't accomplish. See the associations that are part of the NHCN here and explore the opportunities for membership and networking.

In Q&A with reporters, Paterson addressed a number of questions, particularly about tax hikes, cuts, job losses, his conversations with leaders, and his own cuts.
Tax hike: Paterson said he would only use a tax hike as a last resort, despite some speculation that he might be laying the groundwork for a millionare's tax. "I think taxes as addictive," said Paterson. "I would only use that as a last resort and don't want it to be a first option right out of the barrel." As for a dedicated tax to put down the debt, Paterson said, "I don't even like to talk about it."
Cuts: "Nothing is off the table now," including funding for education, said Paterson. He said he would be speaking with school boards and unions to explore their options.
Both Senate Majority Leader Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver have said they don't want to see funding for education cut.
When asked about the leaders' reactions to his speech yesterday, Paterson said he spoke with Silver.
I do believe all of us will have to share in the sacrifice in this recovery. But he doesn't want to explore now. "He is a person of great character" he doesn't want to take a step until the next forecast. He said he understands the concern.
"I would caution: When everyone runs to their favorite program and says it is off the table, that's exactly how we got in this situation to begin with." Paterson said he doesn't want to take education off the table.
Job loss: When asked how many people could lose their jobs? "We haven't ascertained a number," said Paterson.
Property tax cap done during the special session: "I'm hopeful."
Cuts in his own office: He will cut to the same proportion as the agencies, 7% on top of the 3.35% earlier this year.
Outlook: Paterson said the $600 million saved with these cuts will get the state through until next year.

4.7 Optical Rings
Rings occur when the alignment of the observer, the lens and the source is almost perfect, and the source is covering the whole internal caustic, forming the so called ``Einstein ring''. The first rings were observed around galaxies in radio surveys (see Refsdal & Surdej 1994 for a recent review of radio rings). However, Pelló et al. (1992), and Tyson (private communication) announced the discovery of one optical ring in two rich clusters of galaxies. If the rings are actual gravitational lens events, they will give interesting information on the masses of individual galaxies in clusters, and also on the slope of the cluster mass profile (Kochanek & Blandford 1991). For a steep potential profile most of the possible ring events would be distorted, and more likely small arcs would be formed. If almost perfect circular rings were observed in rich clusters, this would favor cluster potentials with large core radii, in contradiction with most of the results found from the observations of giant arcs. This inspired Kassiola & Kovner (1993b) to try to find a consistent arc model for the circular ring in A2218. They found that they can reproduce the ring but with a very peculiar coincidental alignment of potentials. The first tentative spectra of these two ring candidates do not show evidence of their being distant sources, and even support the hypothesis that they are at the cluster redshift (Pelló, Le Borgne, Fort, & Bernstein 1993 private communications). In conclusion, the absence of rings in the centers of rich clusters is fully consistent with small core radii for the distribution of dark matter. Therefore, they should be more likely found at the outskirts of clusters if the profile is not too steep. The contribution of the cluster can aid the galaxy lens in enlarging the radius of the ring, but the ring will often be embedded in the halo of the galaxy. It is clear that such rings should be searched for with the HST even in blank fields (Miralda-Escudé & Lehár 1992). The density of the background galaxies is so high that rings should be numerous in the sky. They will be serendipitously found in some HST deep fields by looking carefully at B-I images. The rings can be as frequent as arcs in blank fields because a distant galaxy can easily cover the whole internal caustic (astroid) of a galaxy lens. The spatial resolution of the HST (0.1 arcsec) will allow the study of galaxy rings (arcs) with a radii of a few arcsec, in a similar way as cluster arcs are studied with ground based observations in subarcsecond seeing. This means that we could soon have a new tool to directly probe the mass distributions of deflecting galaxies, if we find them.

And SEO done by Web Application Development Company is the most element field out there to get things rolling in your benefit.
The trap here is remaining over your opposition and upgrading your site for what is to come next. The proactive approach for any business will permit drawing in client encounters for online guests and predominant outcomes as far as online lead generation for organizations through search engine marketing advertising, since the SEO calculations are presently changed and made more intelligent to eliminate wicked strategies and spam content.
In this article, we will discuss the aftereffects of Moz's inquiry rank elements that depend on the review of more than 150 driving on the web advertisers, for the most part SEOs, in blend with broad relationship information accumulated by the Data Science Department of Moz itself. The latest aftereffects of the information division that were reported in August 2015, were the most illustrative take a gander at the conspicuous affecting variables that can hurt or help a site's permeability in web search tools like Google, Yahoo, Bing and so on the overview that was completed measured the impacting elements on a size of 1-10, where 10 being the very persuasive.
On the off chance that you anticipate tweaking your SEO procedure for 2017, which I think you should, then here are the most essential factors that you should highlight in your new SEO methodology for enhanced and long-term results.
Concentrate on quality
A couple of years back, all that is required to rank better on search engines was content, without the thought whether it's composed by an expert substance maker. Since it was there on our website page, you are probably protected. Presently, this methodology has changed after some time. Google's calculations have changed and are presently conformed to better record for the interest of the online searcher.
Unmistakably, nobody would be occupied with a site that discussions literally nothing what you are hunting down, aside from a few keywords that are purposefully placed in there to obtain look rankings. Anybody would leave the site and come back to alternate connections on the web crawlers to search for their requirement. With a specific end goal to be taking care of business execution, you have to sit in your client's shoe and evaluate what data you are giving. In all such cases toning it down would be ideal, and more terrible is more regrettable as it were.
In 2017, the most noteworthy quality will be the base standard. As per the hunt positioning overview, page level keywords and data based components are judged as the third most compelling variables went before by page level and area level connections. This is the essential element that is driven by the content relevance and quality. The content length, pertinence, and readability are immensely important in the page level freethinker highlights. Since we were examining quality at first, how about we separate it into segments to easily understand its important parts that will have a suitable effect:
Uniqueness – basically, this should go without saying, in any case, there is a lot of people who don't comprehend the value a high quality, by which I mean one of a kind and unique content in search engine rankings. Please understand, copy/pasting or even Google translate won't take you anyplace, until your data is unique, composed in language that is straightforward for the client and preferred by the client regarding web clicks, you will do no great to your site or its rankings. You should read this before to search for mobile application developer for developing an app by which you will get more clicks on your business site.
Length – despite the fact that a top notch, extraordinary data can be a short expression, a slogan perhaps, that passes on the imperative thought of your image, yet when we discuss content for SEO reason, we are discussing a decent, educational bit of no less than 1500 words.
Definitive Cases – now every data that you produce is bad data. Apologizing to any people who thought about it too literally, what I truly implied here is that lone incorporate cases and analysts in your content that are definitive. Bear in mind to include links that can interface back to your site and makes a fantastic picture of you before the search engine algorithms.
Wonderful client Experience – your site should be engaged, uncluttered alongside charming visuals and speedy loading for the client to appreciate a consistent affair while browsing.
Appreciate most extreme shares – conform to the previously mentioned things and afterward you can appreciate additionally sharing of your website page and its data by your online clients on various social sites. It likewise nourishes into another main 10 ranking component, page-level social measurements.
As indicated by Moz's report, in this year, the significance of information that is unique in addition to enlightening for the client will just increment, to a vague farthest point. As much as 81% of the SEO specialists who were a piece of the survey said that the site's apparent value investigation will increment with each passing month if it expand upon the specified elements. 67% also trusted that the intelligibility and usability will also be an expanded ranking element for any site in 2017.
Content Not Equals to words
An error that we most usually make is to accept that Content is equivalent to the quantity of words; the presumption is completely off-base. So as to get the client's advantage, we have to move past the quantity of words and understand the genuine capability of the Content, which on a more extensive point of view can't be words, as it were. It finishes up in itself general website content, blog entries, information representation, DIY Videos, live streams, podcast, slide share presentations, manuals, guides, contextual analyses, online courses, social posts or some other things that are or can be of any significance and ease of use for the client. A shifted content portfolio on a site can significantly make a positive distinction in the site's natural rankings in a limited capacity to focus time.
Extending your content creation endeavors to incorporate alternate types of content in it have two particular advantages:
One – it expands engagement. How is about we comprehend this by a case. On the off chance that a man, we name it 'A', chooses to stack an eBook and read amid his regularly scheduled drive to work by means of some vehicle, while then again, a man "B" wants to watch short video cuts on YouTube, which are clever and celebrates him on his driving. Adopting a multi-pronged strategy to substance creation implies you can contact a bigger group of onlookers in an arrangement that will probably draw eyes and drive engagement.
Two – the other favorable position of putting resources into various sorts of substance is that it permits revival. What begins as a 1000 word blog entry can be refined down to a 350 words info-graphics, and with the expansion of the graphical component in it, it additionally expands the drawing in abilities of the substance itself. In this way more movement on your site and perhaps more deals. Keeping in mind the end goal to re-reason content, you don't generally need to begin starting with no outside help. There is a universe of assets effectively accessible on the web that you just need to discover and modify by trim them in your point of view.
Concentrate on online Presence
With some entrepreneurs (business owners), it is seen that they unite every one of their energies of SEO as it were. This happens fundamentally on the grounds that SEO holds a conspicuous position in online lead generation and because of its significance in lieu of the site client exchange, entrepreneurs concentrate completely on it and deserts the much basic type of online engagement of clients; online nearness streamlining. The online nearness can be streamlined with the utilization of different sources like mobile apps accessible than the SEO itself. Social sites are being one. Recordings, pictures, social posts and even basic announcement on prominent social discussions expand the brand character in folds among the clients.
The move in the market drift with portable going ahead the main path of client exchanges has changed all that we are doing till date. Responsive web compositions are being the most unmistakable and in-thing of the day. Web design companies in Toronto are working day in and night to make sites that adjust to the most recent calculations of web indexes.
Search engine optimization as we probably are aware it will never be the same; however that is something to be thankful for. Now the attention is increasingly on providing a high-quality consistent item over numerous stages instead of wasting our days tinkering with shady ticking time bomb dark hat strategies.

In short: + Small size + Optically excellent + Built-in hood - Screw-in cap To me, above everything else, the size of the DA15ltd makes it a winner to me. I do a lot of street and travel photography with this lens. Whereas my previous wide-angle (DA12-24) was very, very big and intimidating, the DA15 is so small it doesn't make people self-conscious.

Ray Seiple, 1924-2003
The California Geological Survey
(CGS) is sad to
report that Ray Seiple, former
Supervising Geologist and long time
employee, passed away Thursday,
September 18th, in Carmichael,
California. Ray came to CGS from
Dames & Moore consultants, where he
was a senior manager for many years.
Ray brought a wealth of management
experience to CGS upon which we
continued to draw well into his
retirement. The day seemed brighter
when you learned that Ray, as a
retired annuitant, was going to be
back at work for CGS for a while. He
was insightful, thoughtful, caring,
articulate, interesting, and always
professional - someone you looked
forward to having a conversation
with. Those of us who new Ray
considered him truly a gentleman
geologist, adding a touch of class
to the profession.
Ray's career
with CGS spanned many programs,
including managing the Environmental
Review, Publications, and the
Geologic Hazards programs while
serving as a Supervising Geologist.
After retiring, he continued to be
active in the local chapters of the
Association of Engineering
Geologists and the American
Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers. He
returned to CGS briefly as Acting
Principal Geologist. Perhaps not as
well known was his recent role as a
military hospital ship historian,
having served on the USAHS Thistle
during WWII. His interest led to the
establishment of a
prominent website on the
We will all miss
Ray, and our thoughts and prayers
are with his family.

ARTIST Ashley Jackson has swapped painting for podcasting as part of a project for Yorkshire's tourism agency.
The Holmfirth painter, 70, joins one of a series of internet audio recordings on JMW Turner for the Welcome to Yorkshire website.
The series focuses on Turner's experience of Yorkshire, which the artist visited repeatedly during the late 18th and 19th centuries.
Mr Jackson, 70, said: "I have admired Turner since I was 14, he was my inspiration.
"He's still the greatest British artist of them all – the first impressionist. If he had been French we'd still be talking about him."
The podcasts, co-ordinated by Professor David Hill, of Leeds University, also feature Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu, David Lascelles of Harewood House and Ken Hawley MBE, of the Hawley Collection Trust in Sheffield.
They were recorded as part of the Turner Trails project, which allows visitors to follow in Turner's footsteps as he painted and sketched more than 800 views across more than 70 sites in Yorkshire.
Mr Jackson said Turner's work was underrated.
He said: "He gets none of the recognition he deserves.
"The academics didn't like him because he made money from his paintings and he came from the working class.
"What saddens me is that his name has been desecrated by the Turner Prize – he has been hijacked by the pseudo-intellectuals."
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "The new podcasts are not only interesting and educational, but the maps and tours are also a fun, free way for the whole family to spend a day out in Yorkshire over the Christmas holidays and enjoy the legacy that Turner left behind."

Some fast backpedaling by Korea's LG Electronics has apparently stopped the claim by a Korean newspaper that the electronics giant is ditching Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and the US company's Windows Phone products. The Inquirer, a Korean English language website, reported that LG would "get out of the Windows Phone market following sluggish sales of its Windows Phone powered handsets."
The newspaper soon after posted an update statement from LG saying that the report was not true:
LG are still on board with Windows Phone, but right now, we're focusing on Android because that's where the demand is. Regardless of which OS, LG is committed to offering consumers as wide a choice as possible.
But the disclaimer does highlight a rather obvious point. The Android operating system from Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) is where LG intends to spend its time and money at least for now. In the original Inquirer reprort, an LG executive said, "The total unit [count] of Windows Phone sold in the global market is not a meaningful figure." Ouch.
Microsoft, and hardware partner Nokia Corp. (NYSE: NOK) are trying to turn that situation around, most recently with the launch of Nokia's Lumia 900 in the US at a price of $100 with a two-year contract from AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T). A new version of the operating system, Windows Phone 8, is due in late summer or early fall, and the Microsoft-Nokia duo is staking a lot on the success of that software.
LG currently has no plans to launch another Windows Phone-powered product soon. The company got on board with Microsoft in a big way in 2009 and launched several handsets that used the Windows Mobile platform. All were duds in the marketplace, and LG has posted operating losses for seven straight quarters, until sales of Android-based phones put the company back in the black in the fourth quarter of 2011.
LG's snub of Microsoft shouldn't have been unexpected, but the fact that it was done so publicly is not likely to sit well with CEO Steve Ballmer who is expected to visit Korea and LG later this month. Whether Windows Phone 8 and new hardware from Nokia can put Microsoft back into the mobile game was uncertain before and remains no less uncertain now.

Historians and Other Scholars Fight Proposed Expansion of IRB Rules
"Oral history should not be subject to approval by institutional review boards, according to dozens of comments submitted by historians and others to the federal Office for Human Research Protections, which announced last October that it would amend the rules governing what kinds of research qualify for expedited review by the boards. Zachary Schrag, an assistant professor of history at George Mason University and longtime monitor of IRB oversight, obtained copies of all 65 comments submitted to the federal office. 'Of these, 38 commented on oral history or folklore, with all but one of those seeking exclusion for such research,' Mr. Schrag reported over the weekend on his Institutional Review Blog."

Merger Shouldn't Hurt Cleveland Hub
"Continental Airlines would likely keep its hub at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport if the company combines with United Airlines, a former company official said. The Cleveland hub is too valuable to abandon, especially with Continental's plans for a $50 million expansion at the airport, said retired Continental chief executive Gordon Bethune. Kenneth Button, who teaches aerospace policy at George Mason University in Virginia, said he could see United's hub at Denver International Airport growing at Cleveland's expense. 'The problem for Cleveland is that United has quite a bit of capacity at Denver, as it is sort of a central hub, but has not got an extensive network in the main markets served by Continental,' he said."

A McCain Cabinet: Who Might Be Tapped?
"Some observers said they could possibly see McCain keeping on Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who has been in the job for only a little more than a year. McCain and Gates generally are in alignment on the Iraq war, a major emphasis of McCain's. McCain also has vowed to immediately shutter the Guantanamo Bay detention camp and has clashed with the Bush White House over the treatment of suspected terrorists. That means any Justice Department and Defense Department officials who justified the use of what McCain considers torture are sure to be dispatched in his administration. 'I wouldn't see a big shake-up at the Pentagon, but I would expect that most of the political appointees would be gone as a matter of course, but especially if they'd been involved in the decisions about torture,' said James Pfiffner, a presidency scholar and professor of public policy at George Mason University in northern Virginia."

Independent Vote Unaffiliated Bloc Flexing Its Muscles
"In a bewildering presidential primary season in which changes in momentum have been many and predictions have proven problematic, one lesson seems clear: Independent voters are propelling big wins. When Gallup pollsters started going door to door conducting monthly surveys in 1944, what emerged was a picture of a country with strong party loyalties, said Michael McDonald, an expert on voting who teaches at George Mason University. The civil rights movement changed that, McDonald said. The South, which had been solidly Democratic, began its long shift to the Republican Party. The Northeast, which was fiscally conservative but socially liberal, shifted the other way. After the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, widespread disaffection created a surge of independents that lasted until the first years of the presidency of Ronald Reagan, who took office in 1981, McDonald said."

A Former Republican Bastion Now Reflects Va. as a Whole
"When once reliably conservative Loudoun County chose Democrat Timothy M. Kaine for governor in 2005 by nearly the same margin as voters statewide, some suspected a fluke. When the county, like the state, gave a narrow victory to Sen. Jim Webb (D) a year later, people took notice. But when the fast-growing county nearly mirrored statewide support for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in last week's presidential primary, it seemed apparent: Loudoun, a combination of Virginia's traditional and modern elements, had become a political microcosm of the commonwealth. Once a Republican stronghold, the county is now in play, and as goes Loudoun, so goes Virginia, political observers said.
'Loudoun seems a good place to look for indications of how the candidates, how the parties, are faring statewide,' said Mark J. Rozell, a professor of public policy at George Mason University. 'You have newcomers, affluent commuters, longtime residents, a large influx of residents. It just looks like the rest of Virginia in a lot of ways.'"

Christa Miller
Biographical Information
She was born in Manhattan, the daughter of 1960s model Bonnie Trompeter. Miller was a model as a child, appearing in a Wonder Bread commercial when she was six months old, posing at three for Francesco Scavullo in an Ivory soap advertisement, and photographed for the cover of Redbook magazine. Her days as a child model were curtailed after an operation for a benign bone tumor. After attending Convent of the Sacred Heart, Miller returned briefly to modeling, but soon took acting lessons, abandoning modeling for good when she moved to Los Angeles, California in 1990.
Her first role on television was in Kate & Allie, which starred her aunt, Susan Saint James. She was also in episodes of Northern Exposure, Seinfeld, Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Party of Five. She had a major role on The Drew Carey Show from 1995 to 2002 playing Kate, and was the voice of Cleopatra in her husband's short-lived animated show Clone High.
In 2001, her husband, writer-producer Bill Lawrence, conceived a new show called Scrubs and Miller was given a recurring guest role as surly Dr. Cox's (John C. McGinley) equally nasty ex-wife Jordan Sullivan. Her role has increasingly become a major part of the show.
Christa Miller also appeared in Seinfeld as the boss of a potential employer of George. He "feels her material" and is reamed-out, losing his shot as a bra salesman. Miller later appeared in another episode of Seinfeld playing a completely different character, a woman who dates George and insists she doesn't care about his appearance. He takes the opportunity to drape himself in velvet, but then breaks up with her in disgust when she sucks on the pit of a peach he has eaten.

The one on the left is Cheyenne. She is ruthless and relentless. His balls will be black as shoe polish when she's finished. She leaves slaves whimpering. She hates weakness and will punish requests for mercy.

A group of Gadsden County teachers, parents, students and others who want to see a change in the public school system has formed a task force.
The group had a press conference at the Parkway Center in Quincy on Thursday, March 23, to urge Superintendent Roger Milton to put his proposal for school consolidation back on the agenda for the school board's March 28 meeting.
Pastor Eddie Allen was at the meeting representing United Gadsden, a social justice ministry for change.
Prior to playing 1A Wewahitchka, the Munroe Bobcats were winless against competition ranging from 3A to 7A. With their first spring break game scheduled against John Paul II cancelled due to weather, the Bobcats travelled to Wewahitchka on Tuesday of last week. This day the team and coaching staff left with a 19-13 win and a smile.
Spring break put an abrupt halt to the steady progress local spring sports teams had gained for several weeks.
Teams will pick back up this week and start again this week. Upcoming contests for our county sports teams are:
West Gadsden will take on Vernon in a doubleheader on Thursday and then play at East Gadsden on Friday. East Gadsden will have played two games prior to facing the Panthers. They opened up their week with Rickards on Monday and then FAMU on Wednesday.

Writing a memoir that describes both a spiritual and an intellectual journey is fraught with danger. How much do you reveal and what do these revelations say not only about the person writing the memoir, but the people and events encountered along the way? Some memoirs are mere fluff, while others are full of pathos. Lamin Sanneh's memoir may lack the pathos of Stanley Hauerwas's Hannah's Child, but there's no fluff here either. Instead, we find a revealing look at one man's journey from his African Muslim roots into Christianity, a journey to America, and finally a homecoming of sorts in the Roman Catholic Church. It's a journey with many twists and turns that offer insight into the challenge posed by conversion not only to the one converting, but to those left behind and those who are destined to receive the convert. It is also the story of a person's entrance into a different world setting, and the difficulties encountered as a stranger in a strange land. The title catches his own experiences as an African, with Muslim roots, finding his way in a Christianized, but often secular West. In Summoned from the Margin, the highly respected Yale University professor of World Christianity tells his story, one that is rich in detail, is intellectually stimulating and spiritually challenging. It's not an easy read nor a quick one, but it is a worthwhile read.
Lamin Sanneh is the D. Willis James Professor of World Christianity at Yale. Before that he taught Islam and World Religions at Harvard and the University of Aberdeen. He was born into a Muslim family in the African nation of Gambia, the oldest son of his father's second wife. He was raised to be a devout and observant Muslim, but something pushed him to explore outside this faith tradition for spiritual answers. His quest was not easy. His context was almost entirely Muslim – except for the colonial officials he encountered in Gambia. He attended an Islamic focused school, learned the Qur'an and the theology and practices of his faith. It provided structure and context, but ultimately questions about relating to God in a more personal way drove him to seek answers in Christianity. He writes that there was little introspection in the religion he learned as a child, no "quest for the interior light, a spiritual rite of passage with atoning possibility" (p. 56). There is, of course, comfort to be taken in the orderliness of this religious context, but for him, something else was needed. His journey out of Islam was a personal one. He moved into this new religious arena, maintaining respect for the faith he left behind. This isn't, as many conversion stories can be, an attempt to cast aspersions on one's earlier faith experiences.
His path to conversion had little assistance from Christians. Even after going to a "Western School," the religion he was taught continued to be Islam. At least in British controlled Africa, where Islam was dominant, there was tacit agreement between the colonial officials, including church officials, not to evangelize the Islamic populace. So, when he went looking to the churches, both Methodist and Catholic sought to direct him to the other – the Anglican Church was too connected to the colonial government to be a suitable landing place. He was finally able to receive baptism in a Methodist church before heading to America, for college. In America, Sanneh experienced a very different religious context. Being Black, he didn't find welcome in predominantly white churches, and being African he wasn't completely accepted into African American society. One of the themes that emerges from the book is how he experienced Protestant Christianity, both in its evangelical and mainline/progressive expressions. For those of us in the liberal/progressive mainline, Sanneh's experiences should serve as a strong reminder of how easy it is for liberalism to become condescending in its responses to the other. His eventual turn to the Catholic Church is a result of never finding complete welcome in the Protestant community. He found a similar experience present as a faculty member at Harvard and Yale – not fully accepted due to color and background. Fortunately, he found people who helped him navigate these realities, but the journey wasn't easy.
Sanneh's journey into academia would take him back into conversation with his Islamic roots. As he began graduate studies, he was directed toward the study of Islam and its relationship with Christianity, enabling him to be participant in Muslim-Christian dialogues. He did this, in part, by looking at the ways in which the scriptures of these religions help shape their contexts. In his efforts at comparison he came to an intriguing conclusion that we would benefit learning from regarding the role that Islam plays in Muslim society:
The lesson I took from this was that Islam constitutes a radical intellectual challenge to the West, not by virtue of any overt offensive in particular, but by virtue of the West's own blind spot on religion. If and when the challenge became overt, a naïve West might think a muscular military response, modulated with economic inducement, would be all it would take to dispose of the problem, showing how the religious blind spot can induce obsessive behavior as an avoidance strategy.
What he discovered and sought to convey to others was that Islam is a very "this-worldly religion." That is, "Islam applies rules of personal obedience and appearance as well as rules of government, banking and finance, international relations, sanitation, art and architecture, music, and so on. Islam does not turn its back on the world" (p. 156). The carrot and the stick of the West will not be effective in furthering relationships. Understanding and respecting the role Islam plays in society is key.
Sanneh's journey led him to several stops, including studies at the University of Birmingham (UK) and the American University in Beirut, before finally entering a Ph.D. program at the University of London. In the course of these studies, Sanneh focused his attention on the possible alternative to the idea of Islamization through Jihad, which has been the dominant thesis of Islamic expansion. He sought to look to another possible explanation, a more "pacific" version. He found such a version present in the expansion of Islam into Africa, as seen in the establishment of "pacific clerical communities in medieval West Africa," a tradition that has continued into the present age. Eventually, his teaching responsibilities at the University of Aberdeen would broaden his focus to include not only Islam, but African Christianity. As he engaged in these continued studies that eventuated from his teaching responsibilities, he came to focus attention on the influence of the vernacular in religious expansion. Here he was able to compare the Islamic emphasis on Arabic as the divinely chosen language of the faith, whereas Christianity had embraced the vernacular.
Moves to Harvard and then Yale, expanded Sanneh's opportunities to explore the deep relationships of these two faith traditions of his own experience. They also afforded him the opportunity to explore the impact of translation on society. What was missing – personally – was a true religious home. He was a scholar of religion, who had converted from one to another, but he hadn't yet found that home that would form him fully. Eventually, however, he found that home in Catholicism. He found in Catholicism a more stable core that would give sustenance to his own faith life. He writes that "Catholicism became an exit strategy from the confinement of the upscale liberal agnosticism that has long commanded the world of academia. I felt a lively sense of emancipation surrounded by the signs and symbols of the mystery of God in the ungrudging, faithful witness of the church. That fact was the connection to the worldwide community of faith spread within and across national boundaries" (p. 267). What Catholicism gives Sanneh, it seems, is a sense of rootedness that had been lacking to that point in his journey. Being on a journey that began as a move of the individual, in the end he found solace in a faith tradition that sought to check vapid individualism.
This is very much an intellectual memoir, but it also has strong spiritual dimensions. Sanneh offers some insight into familial relations, especially early in life, but they are not the focal point. What this memoir does, more than anything else, is give us an opportunity to explore the relationship of seemingly rival religions as they manifest themselves in the life of one person. For those interested in the issue of conversion, this is a most helpful book. It will also be of interest to those engaged in interfaith conversations, for in this book we will be taken beyond the temptation toward a lowest common denominator experience of religion. As I noted earlier, it's not an easy read, but it is an important one. Indeed, it serves as an important challenge to the way in which we envision religion present in our society.

Chancellor Angela Merkel has defended the decision to impose a one-off levy on savers in Cyprus, saying this shifted part of the burden from other European taxpayers and made it easier for Germany to approve the deal.
The bailout must be approved by a vote in the lower house of the German parliament, and in previous votes on bailouts Mrs Merkel has faced opposition from rebel Christian Democrat (CDU) MPs who complain that Germany is being made liable for the debts of the rest of Europe.
German suspicions that Cypriot banks are a channel for money-laundering will make it harder to win the vote.
The opposition Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens have both supported the principle that savers in Cyprus will share in the costs of the bail-out. However both parties have said that they want to see exceptions for smaller savers. The SPD has said that it is awaiting details of the package before giving approval.
Norbert Barthle, budget spokesman for Mrs Merkel's party, the CDU, said the levy would hit major investors. "As for the small investors, we would like the banks to look into how they can be protected," he told the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper.
Green party parliamentary leader Juergen Trittin said in a TV interview on Monday: "Why don't you take 15pc from those with a lot of money and make savers with less than €25,000 exempt?"
Under the existing bailout terms, small savers would have to pay a one-off tax of 6.75pc. Those with more than €100,000 would pay 9.9pc.
Germany's finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has said the Cypriot business model, of attracting capital with low taxes and light regulation, had proven to be unsustainable.
But offering Cyprus aid was vital to keep the euro together, Mr Schaeuble said. Cyprus, which has the lowest corporate tax rate in the EU, is a favoured offshore centre for Russian businesses.
German politicians are openly suspicious of the high levels of Russian investment in Cyprus.
Last year, Der Spiegel magazine quoted a German intelligence agency report which said that "Russian oligarchs, businesspeople and mafiosi" would benefit most from a bailout.

On Saturday 28th January, the Times Style Magazine ran a front cover entitled 'Dying to be Thin- My Life as a Size 0 Model', alongside a glamorous picture of former model and recovering anorexic Victoire Dauxerre.
After briefly believing we had accidentally invented time travel and woken up in 1992, myself and my good friend Kelsey Osgood began exchanging messages about the contents, which were promoting Ms Dauxerre's book. Below is the letter we sent to the Times, which was also signed by Dr Pooky Knightsmith and Dr Sharie Coombes, two days later.
We have not received an acknowledgment or a reply and so have chosen to share the contents of our letter publically, here. Do contact me on Twitter (@_NatashaDevon) if you have any thoughts:
We're writing to express our dismay regarding the Times Magazine's choice of cover story of January 28th, 2017, titled "Dying to Be Thin –– My Life as a Size Zero Model." The article itself––and, sadly to say, Victoire Dauxerre's book––appear to contravene all eating disorder professional bodies' guidelines for responsible reporting on the topic.
More than twenty years have passed since the first wave of tell-all memoirs about anorexia and bulimia were published. In the intervening time, we've learned a great deal about what is and isn't helpful for those who suffer or are at risk of developing eating disorders, as well as those caring for them (those who don't fall into any of these categories are unlikely to be interested in reading a book of this nature.)
By gratuitously outlining exactly how much she weighed and ate at various stages of her illness, Ms. Dauxerre and her profiler, Louise France, have effectively provided concrete dieting 'tips' to many young, vulnerable people, rather than dissuaded them from engaging in masochistic behaviors akin to the ones the book's author did. Similarly, pictures like the ones Ms. Dauxerre consented to include of herself at her lowest weight will likely end up on "pro-ana" Internet forums––hubs for young people swapping tips on the best self-starvation practices––as pictorial "thin-spiration" for aspiring and actualized eating disorders sufferers.
Furthermore, by glossing over the negative aspects of the illness, both physical and mental, and placing Ms Dauxerre on your front cover whilst making it clear in your article she still has a form of eating disorder, albeit whilst appearing to be a 'healthy' weight, the Times succeeded in glamorizing a dangerous condition.
Simply put, all material with this type of content, regardless of the writers' intent, is, more often than not, appropriated to destructive ends by those either engaging in or encouraging anorexia. The greatest care should be taken when including such details, with the ultimate goal being complete omission.
It is, unfortunately, not uncommon for publications of a lower-brow nature to print gratuitous pieces in which the caloric intakes, lowest weights, and numbers of Instagram followers of various anorexics are touted under the guise of "raising awareness" or "eliminating stigma." Such spreads simply encourage trainwreck voyeurism, often of a viral and enabling nature, whilst masquerading (poorly) as altruistic in nature. However, we expected better of the Times.
We're sorry that Ms. Dauxerre had to suffer as she did, and we're glad she has achieved a tentative physical health since her modeling days, but that doesn't detract from the fact that she is culpable for creating and promoting a work which is potentially harmful to its target audience. Yours faithfully
Kelsey Osgood, author of How to Disappear Completely: On Modern Anorexia
Natasha Devon, former Government Mental Health Champion
Dr Pooky Knightsmith, Vice Chair of the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Coalition
Dr Sharie Coombes, Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist

Atlanta Braves SS Paul Janish Removes a Bat (the Winged Kind) from the FieldAugust 15, 2013
Atlanta Braves shortstop Paul Janish is only hitting .083 so far this season, but he showed great bat control against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. This, however, was not the normal kind of bat you typically see during a baseball game.
A winged bat landed on the field in Atlanta during the second inning. Janish scooped it up with his glove and passed it to the Braves bat boy, who removed it from the field in a towel.
Braves second baseman Dan Uggla decided to sneak a peek inside the towel in the dugout and appeared to immediately regret his decision.
Thankfully, no one was bitten throughout this whole bat fiasco.
Hat tip to Yahoo! Sports for the find.
