View Entire Guide (all categories)
Although all of the wireless microphones are high-performing and are discussed in the section above on microphones for the advanced user, we separately review them here to provide further comparative information for those contemplating purchase of a wireless microphone.
Comparison of Wireless Microphones
Comfort: This parameter is obviously extremely subjective and variable from user to user. In general we weight headsets with typical over-the-head mounting arrangements a bit higher than ear mounting (BW900) given that most users are accustomed to the feel of a typical over-the-head arrangement.
Stability: This refers to the tendency of this microphone to remain in place in reference to the user's mouth during movement of head and potentially when assuming a supine (laying on back) position
Price: Prices represent current prices for the microphone, with basic additional hardware if required (both the Plantronics CS55 and Sennheiser BW900 require the GN Netcom rocker switch in order to work with a PC and prices include this). With the exception of the VXI and Revolabs mics, all of these microphones work best when used with an external USB sound adapter. The cost of this is not included in the prices listed above.
*The VXI Xpressway does not come with a base station and must be used with a Bluetooth equipped device or pc.
Sennheiser SD Pro-1 and SD Pro-2
This is the newest wireless offerring from Sennheiser and is the evolution of the previous DW Pro- series but with a different outer form. Functionally this system provides the same excellent results, whether using it with your computer with speech recognition, or with your corded phone.
Sennheiser DW Pro-1 and DW Pro-2
It's been a long time since we've been as impressed with a product. Until now we have considered the Sennheiser BW900 the best wireless microphone for use with Dragon. While we loved the convenience of the Sennheiser DW Office, which allowed seamless movement from the phone to PC, we never felt the speech recognition accuracy nor external noise rejection was quite at the level of the BW 900. Now things have changed.
For any user wishing to go wireless, either for VoIP or speech recognition, and especially for the user wishing to use the same set-up for wired telephone use, this is the perfect product. This DW Pro has all the features of the DW Office and betters the quality of the BW900. It is, in our opinion, an amazing product.

Andrea WNC-1500 Wireless Headset Microphone
The dream of a high quality and comfortable wireless headset microphone for Dragon users has finally come true. This recent offering by Andrea Electronics, a pioneer in the manufacture of products for speech recognition users, will be welcome news to the serious user needing to be untethered and hands-free while dictating.
From Andrea: "Andrea Electronics has combined the benefits of a Wireless headset with our PureAudio USB digital audio which includes Andrea's complete PureAudio™ Voice Solutions software Suite (including Audio Commander, Voice Center and Pure Audio Technology).

Specification Sheet from Andrea
Included in the box:
Comments: We consider this an excellent product for the Dragon or Windows Speech Recognition user needing to go wireless. The microphone is not particularly hot, so we recommend placing the mic element between ¼ and ½ inch from your mouth. In terms of functionality this product is similar to the Logitech H600 although the dongle full sized, rather the "nano" dongle that comes with the Logitech mic. It is built and packaged in a more quality manner than the H600, although is a bit more expensive. If you don't mind the extra $30 bucks, we recommend this mic, but if you go with the Logitech mic you will also be getting a well functioning wireless headset microphone.

BlueParrot Xpress/Xpressway II
The VXI BlueParrott Xpress is the latest product from the company that has been on the forefront of speech recognition micropones for more than a decade. If you need the best quality and don't need to connect to your wired telephone, this is the product we recommend.

Jabra 9470
This is a relatively new addition to the Jabra line-up and is the first offering by Jabra that we consider to be serious competition for our favorite wireless microphones made by Sennheiser. Unique to this set-up is:
Additional Information and Links:
Comments: No system is perfect and this system has its minor issues, but we feel that this is the best "all-in-one" system for the busy professional that wants a single system for use with the telephone, computer, and cell phone. We consider this somewhat similar to the Sennheiser DW Office, but with notably better external noise rejection. In fact, what we most love about this system is the extremely high quality performance with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Be aware that the Bluetooth interface with your cellphone involves pairing your phone with the base station and not the actual headset. Although we love the look of the color touch screen, in some respects we also appreciate the simplicity of simple button pushes and the touch screen can actually be a bit distracting. Wonderful about this system is the way that instructions provided through the touchscreen walk you through the set-up with your pc, wired telephone and cell phone. Any way you look at it, though, we think this system provides superb performance and we highly recommend it. It has replaced the Sennheiser DW Office on our own desk.
If you need a headset lifter, consider purchasing the GN 1000 lifter shown below.

Price: $399
Revolabs Xtag
This unique device is revolutionizing the way we use microphones. It is a wireless microphone which communicates with a small base station which connects with and draws it's power from your PC or Mac computer using an available USB port. The microphone itself measures only 2.5 inches x 0.9 inch and weighs only 0.05 lb (less than one once). It has a range of 20 meters, and uses a rechargeable lithium polymer battery with an 8 hour talk time. The big advantage of this microphone is extreme comfort - you will forget you are wearing it - and a surprising high level of accuracy. The only disadvantage (other than price!) is the relative lack of noise cancellation resulting from its positioning relatively distant from your mouth. This is an outstanding microphone to use in a quiet environment but will provide disappointing results in settings with anything other than mild background noise.
Overall rating:
Warranty: 90 days
Price: $224
Samson Airline Micro
We continue to test this unit, but our preliminary impressions are very favorable. It is amazingly small and lightweight and yet attaches so securely that use by a fitness instructor is entirely feasible. On the other hand it seems to have the accuracy to allow practical use with speech recognition software. We have not yet formally evaluated the external noise rejection qualities of this microphone, but in preliminary testing it seems to do fine and was minimally affected by our babbling 8-year old son, a fairly loud air conditioner and other household noises. The external noise rejection is clearly well above average.
We recommend using this device with a monaural USB adapter such as the Andrea USB adapter since it does not have sound out capabilities. This product is packaged for use with professional sound equipment and not a personal computer. The audio output cord has a 1/4 inch plug. We recommend that you purchase a double male stereo 1/8 inch cord if you plan to use this with a pc. We list both the USB adapter and 1/8 inch double male cord below.

Samson Airline Micro - Camera Edition
If you don't depend upon headset speakers and want to convert any microphone into a convenient wireless microphone, this is the perfect solution. Although made for use with a video camera and bundled with a simple lavalier microphone, there is nothing about this unit that prevents it from being the ideal means of making your favorite speech recognition microphone a wireless microphone. The transmitter features a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) jack which will accomodate any wired microphone with a 3.5 mm microphone plug. Although the transmitter is equipped with a removeable belt clip, it is so small that it can easily fit in a breast or coat pocket (the transmitter weighs just 1.5 oz and is 1/2 inch thick). Unique to this system is the ability to choose one of two transmitter output strengths and the ability to export the signal from the receiver at either mic- or line-level.

Price: $299.99
Samson Airline 77 Wireless Microphone
This is a unique and highly accurate wireless microphone that provides the best accuracy in the wireless category. It does not include speakers and the transmitter sits on the back of the microphone, essentially near the base of your skull. This includes a good sized transmitter which, in turn, is connected to your PC with a supplied cable. The advantage of this microphone is the freedom from wires and the high accuracy. The disadvantages include 1) It requires daily replacement (or recharging) of the AAA battery in the head-worn transmitter and 2) it is a bit rigid and not the most comfortable microphone we have tried.
This system comes in two version:

Warranty: 2 years
Cost (with needed cable for PC):
Vocal Version: $299.99
Fitness Version: $349.99
Plantronics CS50-USB
This is a comfortable, ear-mounted, wireless microphone which communicates with a base unit which, in turn, is attached to your computer via an available USB port. Although we were skeptical that this microphone would perform so well, it is truly outstanding in both noise cancellation and overall accuracy. The main advantage of this microphone over its rival, the Sennheiser ME3, is the freedom of the wireless connection. It has a 200 ft range and the battery lasts a full 8 hours. The disadvantage, if any, is that it attaches to the ear and based on your ear shape, it may or may not be comfortable. It includes a variety of different ear-pieces and the option of using it as a typical over-the-head headset microphone (follow some of the links below to see options). The battery in the mic unit charges when in the base unit which in turn receives it power either via the USB connection or the supplied AC adapter. Overall, we find this to be an extremely good, albeit pricey, microphone.
Overall rating:
Warranty: 1-year
Cost: $239.95
Plantronics CS530
This is the latest addition to our line of Plantronics wireless microphones and the replacement for our old favorite, the CS70N. This wireless product uses DECT frequency, and features an ear mounted headset that weighs only 29 gm, so it is ideal for all day use. With optional connecting devices, this microphone can interface directly with your personal computer and performs extremely well with speech recognition software.

"Dear Matthew
Just a quick note to say thanks for the great work on the LED lighting in the store.
As you know I shopped around before choosing a company and you were the only one that came up with flexible options as well as a competitive price.
The new lights look absolutely superb!
LED lighting is something many Subway franchisees are looking to convert to and I have no hesitation in recommending your services to them.
Thanks and best wished for the future business."

As I mentioned back in April, I've been on a mission to get thin, wealthy, and organized while my husband is deployed. I can't really comment on the last two (though I'm doing OK on the middle one) but I can say that I'm having pretty good success with my first goal. And it has been free!
I'm about 1/3 of the way through my weight loss goal for the year, which I think is pretty good considering that I didn't really get serious until two months ago. The thing that amazes me is that it really hasn't been that hard. It was just a matter of finding the right tools to help me. I'm a little addicted to the computer - I'm always on it, working, playing, or talking to my husband (or hoping to). I was so lucky that a commenter at SpouseBUZZ mentioned myfitnesspal (MFP). It has truly changed my life. MFP offers a few tools - a food diary with calorie calculator, an exercise diary (also with calorie calculator), a place to keep track of your weight and measurements, a reports section that shows how you've progressed, and an online community section, where you can share frustrations, successes, recipes and exercise thoughts. You can participate as much or as little as you like, and it is all free. I haven't received any spammy emails or other questionable contact because of my registration at MFP, but I have lost a nice chunk of weight, I'm eating great, and I'm exercising more than ever. Best of all, it is free!
If you are looking for some motivation to start on a fitness goal, or need a little extra push to keep moving forward, you should check out myfitnesspal. It has been a great blessing to me, and I'm sure it will be a good tool for some of you as well.

Can you hear them chirping? Well, okay, it's January and it's frozen solid in my part of the country, but if it were warm, you'd totally be able to hear them chirping on my front porch. You know. The place I'm watching, hoping for a WHOYCBE package to arrive.
It's not here yet, and while before I figured it was a delay on the delivery side of things, I'm beginning to worry something went wrong.
I'll keep watching and I'll post a celebration when it arrives. Meanwhile, I'm working on a follow up to the downed tree from last week, with pics.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wireless venture LightSquared has reached a deal to end its Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but its largest creditor, satellite operator Charles Ergen, is not on board and "wasted the parties' time," according to a report from the court-appointed mediator.
The mediator, Judge Robert Drain, said he believed the plan would be confirmable by the Bankruptcy Court judge overseeing the case even without Ergen's support.
Drain's report, made in a court filing on Friday, did not give details on the deal.
LightSquared, which is owned by Phil Falcone's Harbinger Capital Partners, had accused Ergen of using underhanded methods to acquire his controlling stake of its debt. The dispute was sent to mediation after Judge Shelley Chapman rejected a restructuring proposed by LightSquared that would have pushed Ergen's repayment behind other creditors'.
Drain, a colleague of Chapman in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, in his report said that Ergen and his investment vehicle "have not participated in the mediation in good faith and have wasted the parties' and the mediator's time and resources."
Ergen's lawyer, Rachel Strickland, did not return a call seeking comment.
According to Drain's report, Ergen sent his wife to one of the three mediation sessions held this month in New York and left another without Drain's permission. Drain called Ergen's behavior "unique," even "in a field where parties are known to assert their positions aggressively and sharp elbows ... are tolerated."
LightSquared earlier this month told Chapman it was mulling a deal premised on new financing from a third party. The company will appear in court on Tuesday to update Chapman on restructuring efforts.
LightSquared went bankrupt in 2012, after the Federal Communications Commission revoked its license to build a massive planned wireless network over fears of interference with GPS systems.
Harbinger, which held most of the company's equity, had hoped for a restructuring that would allow it to retain control. But Ergen slowly accumulated about $1 billion of its senior loan debt, essentially giving him veto power over any plan he disagreed with.
LightSquared accused him in a lawsuit of concealing his identity to get around a credit agreement that barred competitors like Dish from owning company debt. LightSquared said the debt buys were a scheme to wrest control of the company on Dish's behalf, which Ergen denied, insisting it was a personal investment.
Falcone and other Harbinger appointees resigned from LightSquared's board earlier this month.
LightSquared's long and litigious case has not had any heroes. During a trial in May over LightSquared's accusations, Chapman ruled that Ergen had indeed acted surreptitiously, citing his "troubling pattern of non-credible testimony." But Chapman also said that Harbinger's proposal to subordinate Ergen's debt was an illegitimate ploy to punish him rather than remediate damages.
"It is difficult to imagine discrimination that could be much more unfair than that contemplated" by Harbinger, she said.

"Though the weather outside is frightful" is how the old song goes and likewise a little cold weather failed to diminish the enthusiasm of the massive crowd at the Granville Area Chamber of Commerce Hometown Holiday Dec. 2.
The annual welcome to the winter holiday season featured Santa Claus – and a new addition – Mrs. Claus arriving with their traditional fire truck chauffer.
Together the pair helped the crowd filled with more than 250 youngsters count down to the official lighting of the town's tree before getting down to business and passing out some gifts.
Turnout increased again over the large crowd seen in 2010.
Santa, Mrs. Claus and chamber volunteers including President Kerri Thomas, Denise and Jeff Davies and Harry Haldt stayed busy for more than two hours as children of all ages came up, sat on Chris Kringle's lap and had a little chat about being naughty or nice.
Some of the kids, however, could only stare at the mysterious man in red with a giant white beard while a few were moved to tears apparently over the emotion of the moment.
Thomas and others remarked they were pleased to see the event continue to be well received by the community in any weather, warm, cold or holiday appropriate snow. "It's just nice to be able to do this and have it be such a success," Thomas said.
The park was decorated for the season with a Santa's sleigh and reindeer and light poles from Main to Quaker street were dressed up with another chamber creation – the light up holiday ornaments. The Victorian street light poles were also wrapped in lights and greenery.
Helping to fend off the cold weather were the Boy Scouts who once again offered a fire ring for helping to shake off the cold or a tasty marshmallow for a tasty treat, complete with toasting stick.
Not to be outdone the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary provided hot chocolate and homemade cookies.
"This was just great. They did a good job," Josh Covino said afterwards. Covino brought son Kayden and stepdaughter Alexia Baker out to see Santa Claus and snap a picture.
Older kids preferred to keep warm near the fire pit. Granville ninth graders Hope Ludwig, Brittney Dorman and Emily Marks enjoyed marshmallows, well done, around the fire ring.
"We had a great turnout this year. It is great the Boy Scouts and the Legion are a part of it as well. The hot chocolate and cookies along with fire pit for roasting marshmallows are always great. The chamber is happy to put on this event every year and we were excited Mrs. Claus was able to join us this year as well. Seeing the smiles on the kid's faces makes all the hard work worth it. It is great that such a large part of the community participates in this event," Thomas said.

When walking - walk.
When sitting - sit.
But don't wobble!
When asked how he disciplined himself in Zen, a master replied, "When hungry, I eat. When tired, I sleep."
The questioner responded in a surprise, "But that is what everyone does!"
"Not at all," replied the master, "Most people are constantly distracted from what they are doing."
We should try to live and appreciate every moment in complete awareness. Zen is not 'trying' to follow a certain way, it is just being what you are and doing what you do according to your true nature
"Lightning flashes,
Sparks shower,
In one blink of your eyes,
You have missed seeing."
A Hindu story tells of a fish who asked of another fish: "I have always heard about the sea, but what is it? Where is it?"
The other fish replied: "You live, move and have your being the sea. The sea is within you and without you, and you are made of sea, and you will end in sea. The sea surrounds you as your own being."
So the only true answer to the question "What is Zen?" is the one that you find for yourself..
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Everyday life is the path.
Joshu asked Nansen: "What is the path?'"
Nansen said: "Everyday life is the path.'"
Joshu asked: "Can it be studied?"
Nansen said: "If you try to study, you will be far away from it.'"
Joshu asked: "If I do not study, how can I know it is the path?'"
Nansen said: "The path does not belong to the perception world, neither does it belong to the nonperception world. Cognition is a delusion and noncognition is senseless. If you want to reach the true path beyond doubt, place yourself in the same freedom as sky. You name it neither good nor not-good."
At these words Joshu was enlightened.

Get off your couch, turn off The Good Wife, and go do yoga or something. For real, you're a little past your glory days and you could lose a few. Download a podcast, buy something protein-y, and go jogging you lazy spruce.
Call it an ash, but we all know we're talking about the fraxinus tree in the Oleaceae genus, am I right?? And as far as tree names being used for Pokemon characters, this one's pretty great. So are you, you frugal sonofabitch. I mean, you just got your paycheck and you reaaaally wanted that artisanal cheese box set. You could be eating up Argentinean Reggianito but you're settling for Muenster? Spend a little, make yourself happy, you scroogey ash.

The first historical narrative of Irish nationalism in Scotland, dealing with the exiled Irish nationalist movement in Scotland as a whole and not just focusing on the physical-force tradition within that movement. The book begins with a discussion of the Irish in Scotland, and follows the organisational birth and growth of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and other Irish nationalist groupings up to 1916. The nature of Irish expatriate political organisation and activity is discussed and Fenianism in Scotland is measured against its counterparts in England and Wales, North America, Australasia and South Africa. The immigrants political development is examined and the prevailing view of the Fenian tradition is challenged, placing the beginning and development of the movement much more in the Irish diaspora than in Ireland itself.

Let me preface this post with a reference to last year, when I predicted that the Eagles would trade back out of the first round. Turned out the Eagles did the exact opposite and traded up 11 spots to grab defensive end Brandon Graham.
Howie Roseman, Andy Reid and the rest of the Eagles front office are pretty unpredictable. So why try? Because it's fun.
The draft will kickoff Thursday night with the first round in prime time. Before you sit down to watch, check out my predictions and sound off if you have other opinions:
- The Eagles will not take Jimmy Smith. Despite his talent, Smith has a whole host of alleged behavior issues. "Two abortions, aggravated assault, two minors in possession, three failed drug tests... that's a little excessive," an anonymous NFL personnel man told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The Eagles have never drafted a player with that much criminal history. Yes, they took a chance on Michael Vick, but only after weeks of due diligence and a very low-risk contract. I don't see the front office taking that chance with their No. 1 pick. Plus, I think if the team were interested in Smith, they wouldn't have let all these rumors stand about him being their top interest. The media have largely anointed him as the Eagles pick, and I think the team is content to let that smokescreen stand.
- But the Eagles will take a top cornerback in the top few rounds. I have my eye on the second round crop, where the team could draft a player of similar caliber to Nate Allen, who they snatched with the 37th overall pick last year. Virgina's Ras-I Dowling sticks out as a possibility. Lots of talent, senior year lost to injury -- he's tailor-made for the Eagles.
- The Eagles won't pick at 23rd overall. They haven't gone with their assigned spot since 2006, which not coincidentally was their highest pick in a long time. With the Eagles consistently drafting in the latter half of the first round (26, 19, 21, 24 over the last four years), it makes sense to either move up to snatch a truly valued player (Jeremy Maclin, Brandon Graham) or drop back into the second round and get similar value at a lower price (Kevin Kolb, DeSean Jackson).
- At least two more linebackers in this year's draft plans, after the team snatched Keenan Clayton and Jamar Chaney in 2010. As I wrote about last week, there are only three linebackers who will definitely be around in 2011 -- Clayton, Chaney, and Moise Fokou. Even if you assume Stewart Bradley returns, that's just four players for six or seven spots.
- Less than 10 rookies. After taking 13 players last year and seeing three of those never take a single snap in 2010, the Eagles won't use all of their selections this year. Some of those picks will be packaged to move up in this draft or get future picks in 2012.
- No quarterback. Sorry conspiracy theorists, it just doesn't make sense for the Eagles to add another quarterback this year with Mike Kafka in place as a back up and plenty of veterans on the market. Plus, drafting another quarterback before trading Kevin Kolb takes away some of that leverage the Eagles have by arguing that they could just keep him.
- Correll Buckhalter 2.0. With Brian Westbrook admirably replaced by LeSean McCoy, the Eagles need a running back who they can develop to be the long term back up. Neither Jerome Harrison nor Eldra Buckley is that guy, but mid-round prospects like Hawaii's Alex Green, Cal's Shane Vereen, Oklahoma's DeMarco Murray or Oklahoma State's Kendal Hunter could be.
- Ignoring the defensive line? After heavily targeting pass rushers in last year's draft, the Eagles have a glut of young players along the defensive line. Outside of Trent Cole, none of them really stand out (especially with Graham's ACL injury). But you can't address every weakness and if the Eagles don't add a top d-lineman early, I could see them passing entirely in favor of additions along the offensive line and elsewhere.

I am a huge fan of BBC Television programs. I realize that admission fully qualifies me to receive a status of "Nerd" or "Snob", depending on your familiarity with their programs, but I wear the badge proudly. There is nothing better than curling up with a mug of tea (made in the British fashion with a splash of milk) and watching a program like Sherlock. Or if you are like me and love the dry/witty/cutting style of humor that is distinctly British, you can't miss Blackadder, Are You Being Served? or Vicar of Dibley. Then of course there is the pinnacle of human comedy achievement in the form of Monty Python's Flying Circus, who have a comedy repertoire that will have you rolling on the floor at their antics as they ramp up the satire/observational humor dial to a factor of 11 to create a truly unique comedy experience.
One recent BBC program which airs on PBS in the United States I have recently begun to appreciate is a program called Call the Midwife. The show's popularity seems to suffer because of the popularity of another British period drama on the same network, the famous Downton Abbey (which is in and of itself a re-telling of an older British program called Upstairs, Downstairs, but I digress…). Call the Midwife is currently in its fourth season, and follows the story of midwife and nurse Jenny Lee, who arrives at an Anglican convent called Nonnatus House to work as a midwife as part of the houses' charitable outreach. She joins the sisters of the house and fellow nurse midwives Cynthia, Trixie and later Camilla "Chummy" Browne as they preside over the pre-natal care,delivery and ante-natal (the British term for post-natal) care of women living in the poverty rife East End of London in the 1950's and 1960's. It is based on the memoirs of real-life midwife and nurse Jennifer Worth.
The program deals with far more than the drama of labor/delivery itself and all of the possible post-delivery complications like post-delivery psychosis or babies with complications like cystic fibrosis or spina bifida. It examines issues related to spousal abuse (Season 2 Episode 1), inter-racial relations and mixed race children (Season 1 Episode 4 and Season 2 Episode 3), and how poverty can influence a pregnancy…in one episode following the story of a woman who, upon finding herself pregnant again even though her family is already on the brink of starvation, turns to back alley abortion services that nearly end her life. Because it is based on real memoirs, you get an authentic look at poverty, family life and motherhood in London, where the ghost of World War II still haunts the people. Is there fabrication? Sure…it is a television show and needs to be interesting for the audience or they won't watch it. But it does stay fairly true-to-life as women in poverty go through this life changing experience.
As an American watching the show, it requires a bit of a mental adjustment, and not just switching back and forth from our grandparent's time to the modern day. Most of the deliveries that occur on the show are done in the home, and you watch as the midwives prepare home delivery packets including necessities like rubber sheets for the bed. You see the midwives inspecting the homes to see if they are appropriate for home delivery, and get an up-close and personal look at the quality of poor housing blocks in the post World War II damaged city, including apartment buildings with one shared toilet for the building, lack of decent sewer services and all manner of insect infestation. Very few of the births on the show are done "in hospital" as they refer to it.
In the US, it is entirely the opposite. Women in labor give birth in hospitals as a matter of accepted fact; eyebrows are raised when someone tells you that they are opting for a home birth because it is so unusual. While the idea of giving birth with a midwife is an idea you may hear about (and normally only in more affluent or hipster-inspired areas), for most women the established norm is the frantic drive to the hospital, praying that you don't hit traffic on the way and are forced to have your baby in the car or on the side of the highway. The idea that midwives and home deliveries are standard practice in the UK, and are even encouraged by government programs, is an almost completely alien concept.
But the truth is that in the US a majority of the deliveries that occur are rather routine. Though I have not experienced pregnancy or labor myself, I was present for the birth of my oldest nephew and while it was a comforting thought to know that a doctor was present and that the hospital could accommodate any medical emergencies that might arise, I found myself wondering later whether or not all of the expense and expertise was necessary in the majority of cases where the pregnancies are low-risk. There are exceptions where delivery in a hospital is absolutely vital, such as when a mother is expecting twins or when she has conditions like pre-eclampsia, but these situations are relatively rare and with proper medical supervision throughout the pregnancy can be identified early. Jenny Lee and the other midwives in the show are fully qualified nurses who bring plenty of experience and knowledge about when a doctor or an ambulance need to be sent for…such as when Camilla's placenta ruptures during her early labor. Midwives in the United States who are certified and/or licensed have similar levels of medical expertise and far superior medical equipment to that used in the show. In fact, a 2005 study in the British Medical Journal found that for low-risk home births in the US and Canada which were attended by a qualified midwife, the infant mortality rate was 1.7%, which is equivalent to hospital births. In a May 2009 Time Magazine article covering this very question, assistant professor of anthropology Melissa Cheyney pointed out that there is a large bias among OB/GYN's to midwifery which undoubtedly plays a role in professional organization's reluctance to look into it. Part of the bias, Cheyney explained, comes from the fact that OB/GYN's only deal with midwives and their patients when something goes wrong and there are complications leading them to go to the hospital for treatment. While this is exactly as it should be, this does mean that many OB/GYN's are only seeing the bad cases where something has gone wrong, and not the hundreds of safe and routine deliveries the same midwife might preside over, which leads them to assume that all midwives and their delivery are poorly handled and unsafe for the patients.
I ran across this article from NPR recently which asks the same questions. Should More Women Give Birth Outside the Hospital? begins by featuring a recent statement from the British National Health Service, which states that women with straightforward pregnancies are better off delivering at home rather than in hospital. Of course if a pregnancy is complex (like multiple babies) or if the mother suffers from medical conditions which complicate the pregnancy or labor/delivery she should deliver at a hospital. The statement raised eyebrows in the US, but Dr. Neel Shah of Harvard Medical School responded in a New England Journal of Medicine editorial that as long as the right pregnancies are chosen and the midwives have links to medical centers they can call should something go wrong during labor and delivery, it can be safer for both mother and child to deliver at home. Dr. Jeffrey Ecker of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists frowns on planned home births, but noted that it is difficult to compare the British and US systems for midwifery and planned home deliveries, pointing out that the UK has support systems in place to accommodate midwives and planned home deliveries, while no such system exists in the United States.
That system is what Call the Midwife features, and aside from the show being well written and well cast, it is enlightening to see it in practice. Of course risk cannot be completely mitigated; things can go from normal to very wrong with surprising speed during labor/delivery, which the show does a good job of demonstrating on numerous occasions. But it does make me wonder if, with the emphasis in the US healthcare system going towards reducing the exploding costs, developing a similar support system for midwives in the US would be beneficial. To my mind, it at least merits further study. This is a complicated issue and there are major differences between risks faced by American mothers vs. British ones. But just because the issue is complex doesn't mean we shouldn't look into it. After all, we might just be able to learn a thing or two from our British friends.

4 August 2016
Apple's iOS video editing app was updated at the end of July. It's an incremental, but useful, improvement. Here are the key differences.
Quicker project creation
First, it's quicker to start a project. Instead of the Theme Chooser you get access to Moments, Video, Photos and Albums.
On the iPad (in Landscape mode) these are all visible; the iPhone version shows Moments by default, but if you tap < Media in the top left corner, you'll see the others. You can choose a Moment, or select clips within a Moment, and it'll automatically place the (complete) clips in the timeline of a new project.
If, like me, you prefer to trim clips first, you'll need to choose the Video browser, which also gives you access to your Albums. This is really useful: you can now select multiple clip ranges (in the clip above, one clip is previewing while the one below it has already had a range selected), then Create Movie: drag and drop them into the right order and you'll have a rough cut to work with.
If you don't want to work this way, just tap Create Movie without selecting any clips.
Simplified media browser
There are some changes to the main edit screen as well. Photos now appear in the main media browser – which also includes Moments and Albums – rather than having a separate tab. As above, you need to select Video if you want to trim clips before adding them.
Simpler iPhone edit interface
Changes to the iPad edit screen are minor, but the iPhone one has been simplified: all the Media, plus Camera and Voiceover, are now accessed from the + button. If you do want to use iMovie's cheesy themes, you can still access them from the Settings button.
Other enhancements
You can now share straight to Vimeo or Facebook with the standard iOS share interface; it supports Shared iPad for education; and there are stability and performance improvements.
It works well. The only annoyance for me is that it still defaults to a dissolve between clips, and you have to change the transitions individually.

Parish registers record baptisms, marriages and burials in Church of England parishes. They are still being created today. For the official websites of Church of England parishes in the Diocese of Chelmsford, please click here.
Parish registers are essential sources for family history. The Essex Record Office (ERO) holds registers from over 400 parishes, covering the present county of Essex, including Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock, and also those parts of north-east London that used to be in Essex. Most parishes have registers from the 17th or 18th century onwards, but some go back to 1538.
Essex Archives Online includes images of all registers of baptisms, marriages and burials (excluding marriage registers from after 1957) deposited either in the ERO or with our partners at Waltham Forest Archives. Please note that these images are not indexed.
To find out what registers we hold, and to identify images available, select the first letter of the parish name in the list below, and then the parish and church that you need.
The lists show
Until 1812 many parish registers covered more than one type of event. These registers will appear in the lists several times, but with the same reference each time.
To see images of parish registers online, please register and buy a subscription. Images are free to view in the ERO Searchroom.

"Might there be something that doesn't change forever in this world?"
The question tying the four unique characters together
A collection of stories noteworthy for the charms of a roman cycle
Loyal Jo Won-ung, fashionable Choe Jin-sang, and gentle Seo Min-gyu are drawn to Jeong Hui-jae, a transfer student, in spite of themselves. After separately spending time with the girl, who shines like a stag beetle, the trio each receives a skull ring from her. However, what Hui-jae has left them is not only skull rings… To her question—"What doesn't change forever?"—how will Won-ung, Jin-sang, and Min-gyu answer?
Still Merry cheerfully shows the everyday lives of a trio of troublemakers and transfer student Jeong Hui-jae from spring to summer. An established writer, Gim Ok has chosen in this volume the form of a roman cycle, which is effective for looking into the hearts of the characters and closely capturing the growth of each of the children. As a result, readers are allowed a glimpse of the personages' real intentions, intersection of feelings, and hidden truths, which considerably increase the joy of reading this roman cycle. A crisp sense of humor naturally mingles with the optimistic ambience of the entire work, to which a light touch is given by budding artist Guk Min-ji's illustrations.
The variegated today as lived by thirteen-year-olds—friendship, unrequited love, hobbies, and family
Yet our own private lives are still merry
This book well reflects moments of innocent happiness that are by no means immature and that only childhood can bestow. Readers will find themselves gently smiling at scenes where the protagonists hold a "Class Reunion Ahead of Time" because they may be dead 20 years later and where one of them gets in trouble after lending his elder brother's guitar to a girl whom he likes. There is something lovable about the shyness and disingenuousness of these boys on the threshold of adolescence, who feign ignorance even though they remember all past incidents. It will be fascinating also to observe how Won-ung, Jin-sang, and Min-gyu constantly and unexpectedly mention and approach Hui-jae in their respective ways while simultaneously professing to one another a lack of interest in her. Though it is not fulfilled in the way that adult romance is, the boys' still clumsy puppy love is precious in itself. Still Merry thus respects children's private lives instead of looking down on them. Dependable is the perspective of the author, who, even without conveying words of consolation in particular, quietly affirms and applauds youngsters as they make memories in their own ways. Even for this alone, this book will be very welcome to readers who are struggling through adolescence.
"Guys to Take Care of before Transferring": The representative troublemaker at Wajang Primary School, the simple and unruly Jo Won-ung must suddenly transfer to Jeju Island due to his parents' decision. Because of a bombshell declaration of the prospective transfer, the humdrum routines of the boy and his friends take on incomprehensible excitement and strange energy. In particular, the trio of Won-ung, Jin-sang, and Min-gyu, who have been best friends since kindergarten, make plans for a special week before the transfer… What might the precious memories from the final week that these boys have planned be?
"Skull Rings": Min-gyu secretly has a crush on transfer student Hui-jae. Though he wants to believe that only he is special to the girl, the boy becomes desperate when his best friend Won-ung Jin-sang appears with a skull ring from Hui-jae on his finger. Furthermore, Hui-jae eventually breaks up with Min-gyu due to his clumsy expressions of his feelings… The boy and the girl subsequently bump into each other at a park. What might be the secret that dispels the awkwardness between the two?
"Did You See My Guitar?": A good dancer and a dandy, Jin-sang monopolizes Hui-jae's attention by boasting his skill as a guitar player. To win her heart, the boy lends the girl his feared elder brother's guitar while the latter is away for a week. However, the guitar is broken due to Hui-jae's mistake, thus putting Jin-sang in danger of being scolded by his temporarily absent sibling. The boy's loyal friends Won-ung and Min-gyu come together to save him from the crisis. Will their great operation to fix the guitar succeed?
"Peppy Mom and Me": Living with her mother only, Hui-jae dreams of studying hard and making Mom happy. One day, she visits an amusement park with her friends thanks to tickets given by her mother.

Flipping the calendar over to May last week meant two things: spring is finally underway and summer is right around the corner. This year, don't stress about swimsuit season as you're sweating on the beach, build healthy habits now. Be honest – we all know it's harder to start making healthy decisions when funnel cakes and barbecue chicken call our names.
By getting started today (yes, today), you can create a foundation of smart food choices and form an exercise routine that will carry you seamlessly through the summer months (and beyond). Remember being healthy most of the time makes the occasional ice cream cone all the more refreshing.
Enlist a Friend
The people you surround yourself with can make or break your success. Tell your friends and family about your goals and invite them to get healthier with you. Instead of watching movies and ordering take-out, cook meals and be active together. Make sure to tell them about our Summer Beach Pass which will allow both of you to be beach ready by July 4!
Eat More
Fruits and veggies that is! Delicious spring and summer produce is starting to come into season and now is the best time to start shopping your local farmers market. Naturally low in calories and high in fiber, adding fruits and veggies to meals will keep you full and satisfied.
Create Routine
Gone are the days of hopping aimlessly from machine to machine at the gym. It's time to get focused and get the results you're looking for. Start with specific long- and short-term goals in mind and set a plan to achieve them. If you need help getting started or along the way, try one of our personal training or small group training options.
Drink More Water
This tip really needs little explanation, but here it is. Swap high-sugar, high-calorie sodas, juices and energy drinks for good old water. You'll not only cut calories, you'll be more alert, improve your skin tone and feel better overall.
Keep a Diary
Writing down what you eat each day and how you felt when you ate it, can offer many insights about your eating habits. Do you snack when you're bored? Do you overeat when dining out with friends? Knowledge is power; discover what triggers your unhealthy habits and eliminate them.

Bad habits that are harmful to your eyesFriday, August 31, 2018 14:15
Most of us are not aware that some of our daily habits are potentially harming our vision.
Too much time looking at screens
We spend many hours looking at a screen — either a mobile phone, TV or computer. Prolonged staring at screens has been associated with eye strain and excessive exposure to eye damaging glare (especially if the lighting in the surrounding is inappropriate). Staring at screens can also lead to dry eyes and redness.
Follow the 20-20-20 rule:
Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look 20 feet into the distance. Deliberately blink several times during this break. If need be, close your eyes for a minute or two. This allows for your eyes to rest, get lubricated and re-focus.
Unhealthy mobile phone use:
Using your phone or laptop in bed (or watching TV in bed) with the lights off puts unnecessary strain on the eyes. Setting your phone's font size too small and reading for prolonged periods has similar effects. In addition, keeping your screen brightness to maximum is also harmful to your eyes.
Sleeping with contact lenses Contact lenses cover the front of the eye (known as the cornea). This deprives this section of the eye from getting nutrients and oxygen. Although this is tolerable in the short term, it is not healthy in the long run. In addition to this, sleeping in your contacts leads to dryness of the eye and increases the risk of eye infections, ulcers and permanent eye damage. It is important that you give your eyes a break each night (at least four to eight hours without contact lenses daily).
Contact lenses for extended periods
Contact lenses are either designed to be changed daily, monthly or every three to six months (a few can be safely used longer). It is important that you adhere to these timelines to prevent unwanted complications.
If you wear contact lenses for an extended period than intended, they develop a thin layer of debri which can harbour germs and lead to eye infection and damage.
Wearing contact lenses in the pool or shower
Water can carry eye damaging bacteria and attach to your contact lenses leading to severe complications including blindness. Contact lenses should never be worn whilst swimming (even in the ocean) or showering.
Poor make-up habits
Sleeping with eye make-up or using old mascara/eye liner can lead to eye infection. Sharing eye make-up is also unacceptable. Bacteria can live on mascara brushes or eye liners and for this reason, it is recommended that you replace your eye make-up and application products every three months. Be very careful when applying make-up around your eye. If you put it too close to your lash line, it can block your oil glands and put you at risk of infection.
Not protecting your eyes
Swimming without goggles: Chlorinated or salty water can irritate the eye, therefore, it is important that you wear protection. Always wear goggles when swimming.
Poor quality sunglasses: The sun causes damage to the eyes so you must be careful in your choice of sunglasses. Only use sunglasses certified to have UV protection.
Rubbing eyes
Persistent rubbing of your eyes can damage your cornea — causing it to thin, lose its shape and eventually distort vision. You also risk infection from the germs in your fingers.
In addition, constant rubbing can damage the skin and delicate blood vessels around your eyes leading to puffy dark eyes. For this reason, it is important to deal with the underlying cause of the itchy eyes. Start treating your allergies if they are the problem.
Smoking harms almost every part of your body — including your eyes. Smokers are four times more likely to lose their vision compared to people who do not smoke.
This risk is also present for people exposed to second hand smoke (people who are constantly in the environment of smokers).
Misuse of eye drops
Occasional use of eye drops to clear bloodshot eyes is not a problem. However, consistent use of drops to clear eye redness can have the opposite effect — lead to worsening of the redness.
Other health conditions
Diabetes, high cholesterol, HIV and high blood pressure can all cause problems for your eyes — including vision loss. For this reason, it is important that you get your long term health problems under control to protect your eyes.
Poor diet
Your eyes, just like the rest of your body, need vitamins and nutrients to stay healthy. Foods rich in vitamin A, C, E, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids are good 'eye healthy foods.' These nutrients can be found in leafy green vegetables, fish/seafood, nuts and fruits. In addition, it is important to take in sufficient water to prevent dehydration and help with tear production.
Missing eye check-ups
After the age of 40, it is crucial to go for regular eye checks. Similarly, anyone with a potentially eye damaging condition like diabetes or high blood pressure should go for an eye check.
It is also crucial not to ignore symptoms such as dryness or blurred vision (even if there are only subtle changes).

Thanks very much for your reply,
I can get the board to boot the way you described with low multipliers and 1.25x strap. But the problem is that after doing this, if I then apply higher multipliers to achieve a reasonable overclock, when I shut the pc down it won't boot again!
I have to go through the whole process again, every time I power on because I cannot get the power-on vcore to budge past 1.00v with 1.25x strap. I have tried slowly increasing CPU multi with all power saving settings off, then rebooting. This *should* force the CPU to readjust its automatic SVID settings to allow for the higher CPU speed, and this method works fine for me with the 1.00x strap but not with the 1.25x.
If you run Easytune 6, go to the Tuner tab and click 'Advance' (top right) then go to Voltage I tab and you can see the first setting is CPU Vcore. It shows both the power-on vcore and the target vcore that your board is currently using.
When you are running the 1.25x strap what does it say for power-on vcore?
I'm really curious because I agree that it is unlikely that these Gigabyte x79 boards differ very much in this regard, but when I use the 1.25x strap Easytune always shows power-on vcore as 1.00v regardless of how high the overclock is or how many times I have rebooted.

If you are trying to open .daa files following the below mentioned steps would ease off the entire procedure. The very first thing that you are required to do is to change the .daa files into ISO format. Once this is done, you can easily extract the files. This is discussed below in detail:
Download DAA 2 ISO from here and save it on the desktop. You will get a folder named daa2iso by extracting the zip folder. Two daa2iso files are present in this folder. One of them would have a colorful icon and would be labeled as application. Double click on that file.
On clicking that file a command prompt and a window would appear. There would be a number of files in the window, double click on the .daa file that needs to be opened.
Another window would appear in which you will be asked to enter the file name. Key in the file name and click on the save button. You will see the command prompt window with confirmation and the file would be extracted within a fraction of seconds.
You can now close the command prompt and open the converted .iso file with the help of 7Zip.
In case you do not have 7Zip, you can download IZArc from , install it and then open the file by following a few above mentioned simple steps.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.- Former Santa Clara C/DH Patrick Terry has signed a professional contract with the Chico Outlaws of the North American League.
The NAL is an independent professional league with teams in California, Hawaii, Texas, Arizona and Canada. The league has produced several Major League players including Sergio Romo of the San Francisco Giants and Santa Clara's own Daniel Nava of the Boston Red Sox.
Terry, a 2011 All-WCC Honorable Mention selectee, led the Broncos in average (.312), hits (58), slugging percentage (.414), doubles (10), RBI (30), total bases (77) and tied for the lead in homeruns.
A former walk-on, Terry joined the Santa Clara squad his sophomore year. He appeared in the Bronco lineup 104 times over the next four seasons. The redshirt senior captain was a career .315-hitter over four seasons.
The former Bronco has already played three games for the Outlaws. He will play both left field and catcher for Chico. In his first professional start, Terry played in left field. He was 3-3 at the plate including a double and a RBI. He also stole a base and robbed an opposing batter of a homerun.
Terry recently graduated from Santa Clara with a degree in Combined Sciences.

When I first saw this sweet cover, I thought that Ava and Pip would be an early-ish chapter book, along the lines of Sara Pennypacker's Clementine series or Megan McDonald's Judy Moody books. This adorable cover deceives, however, as Ava and Pip is a solid middle grade novel that I think many of my 4th-6th grade students will love. While Judy and Clementine start off their series in third grade, Ava is a 5th grader, and her sister, Pip, a 7th grader. Ava and Pip's word count is twice that of Clementine and Judy, and the sentence structure is more suited to an upper elementary grade reader. The paperback version is coming out in March of 2015, so I'll be interested to see what they do with the cover.
Ava is lovable, flawed, smart, and introspective. Her attempts to right a wrong are both believable and sympathetic, the family dynamics are charming and realistic, and the ending is satisfying. I look forward to recommending this one in my library this fall.
Many thanks to the publisher who provided this e-galley via Netgalley.
Publisher's description: AVA AND PIP is the diary of a good kid who does a bad thing.
Ava is an outgoing 10-year-old with a painfully shy 12-year-old sister. Ava gets mad at Pip and feels bad for Pip all at the same time. Mom and Dad are constantly fretting about Pip, and Ava sometimes feels invisible in her own family. When Pip's 13th birthday party gets ruined because a new girl named Bea throws a boy-girl party on the same day, Ava, outraged, enters a writing contest with a thinly-veiled story called "Sting of the Queen Bee." Bea finds out and is not pleased. She didn't even know there were two parties on the same date. Bea confronts Ava, and the two reach a truce and decide to team up to try to help Pip come out of her shell. They devise five Pip Pointers. At first Pip resists, but little by little, she learns to speak up—and Ava does too. In fact, by helping Pip find her voice, Ava ultimately finds her own. She tells her parents that she would like some attention too, and she tells her diary that she has found her goal: She wants to be a writer someday.
* enjoys books in diary format
* tends to be shy
* loves words
* has siblings
* is a writer
Use this to discuss:
* Voice –The irony is that, throughout the story, Ava is trying to figure out what "voice" is in writing, yet her own voice oozes with sparkle and personality.
* Word Play–Ava's entire family are self-proclaimed "word nerds." They exchange puns, rhymes, and, most notably, palindromes (words and phrases that read the same both forward and backward, like A-V-A- and P-I-P, or "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" ) .
* Sibling Rivalry–Perhaps this category should be "sibling envy," but that's not quite accurate, either. Ava is envious of the attention that her parents give to her older, painfully shy sister, Pip, yet I don't ever get the sense that Ava would want to be like Pip. All siblings feel this way at times, and the book will make a nice springboard for those discussions.
* Writing–Ava is an aspiring writer, and there's a lot in these pages about finding one's voice, writer's block, etc. that could be culled for writers' workshop activities.
Visit author Carol Weston's website here to learn more about her. Students will be delighted to see how many autobiographical tidbits they can find that connect the author's life and the book.

When he was 17, and at a Thanksgiving dinner party, Morrison and his girlfriend tossed the lid from a can of popcorn back and forth for fun. Later, they switched to a cake pan, because it flew better. A year later, while at the beach, someone saw them and offered 25 cents for the pan. "That got the wheels turning, because you could buy a cake pan for 5 cents, and if people on the beach were willing to pay a quarter for it, well, there was a business," Morrison said later. The couple sold so many it funded their marriage. In World War II, he served as a pilot (and was a prisoner of war). In 1946 Morrison put his aeronautical skills to work, drawing out his own design for an aerodynamically improved flying disc. By then Morrison had married his girlfriend, and they dubbed the toy "Whirlo-Way". By 1948 the disc was being made of plastic and called "Flyin-Saucers" to capitalize on the UFO sightings craze of the time. In 1955 Morrison had his final design, now dubbed the "Pluto Platter", and in 1957 he sold the rights to toy company Wham-O. The company ramped up production and, when they found some people called them a "Frisbie" after a pie plate with that brand, they dubbed it the "Frisbee". "I thought the name was a horror. Terrible," Morrison said. But after getting millions in royalties, he changed his mind. "I wouldn't change the name of it for the world." Wham-O has sold more than 200 million Frisbees. Morrison died at home on February 9 from cancer, at age 90.

I've been looking for a helmet that is more comfortable as well as more visible. I also needed a helmet that comes in extra large for my big head. I read a lot of good things about the Lazer Helium but I couldn't find a local bike shop that had any in stock. On faith I ordered online. The prices are all over the place, I found one for about $100. It's a very comfortable and light helmet. The knob on top of the helmet dials in the internal headband around the entire circumference of my head providing a secure fit. The only issue I had was when the headband was tightened the helmet had a bit of a wobble. The problem was easily solved with a bit of padding on each side of the helmet. BUT no extra padding was supplied and there is no place to attach the padding. Problem solved again, I used padding from another helmet and glued it in with trusty E6000 adhesive.
With the little bit of padding the helmet... it's a keeper.
|High visibility.
|Dial on top of the helmet for adjusting the headband.
|Light weight strap that sits easy on the side of my face. The magnetic slide buckle is easily attached and unattached, it's nice if you're wearing full finger gloves during the cold winter days.
|Added padding on the side (red).
