There are many things to consider when setting up your live stream for the first time. Heck, even if you're a veteran streamer and you're looking to improve the overall quality, there are many things to look at. Most people tend to flock towards video quality. They want to make sure their viewers can see them, as well as the game they are streaming, at a higher quality than their competitor.
The main thing many content creators overlook, whether they are creating live video or pre-produced video, is the overall audio quality.
Have you ever watched a live stream and the audio quality was ear piercing? If you have, what was the first thing you did? Let me guess…you clicked off the stream and found someone that sounded better, even if the video quality wasn't as good. You'd much rather watch a stream that sounds great instead of watching a stream with great video quality over audio quality. Correct us if we are wrong.
We decided to put together a list of microphones that we feel are top quality for those who live stream, but also don't entirely break the bank. Our list is in no particular order. As an added bonus, we have included a small list of budget microphones at the end of our article for those who have no interest in creating content but want something a bit better than their built-in microphone.
10 Microphones for Twitch Streaming
- Blue Yeti
- Audio Technica AT2020
- Audio Technica AT2035
- Razer Seiren Pro Elite
- Audio Technica ATR2100
- Shure SM58
- Shure SM7B
- Sennheiser e835
- RODE Procaster
- Heil PR40
Before we get started on the microphone list, there are a few things we need to go over so you don't get confused. All microphones on our list are either USB microphones or XLR microphones. XLR means you will need to have some sort of audio interface in order for the microphone to be connected to your computer. USB means you can plug directly into a USB port on your computer and your computer, in theory, will recognize the microphone.
When purchasing a new microphone, you not only want to consider USB or XLR, but you also want to consider whether you're purchasing a Dynamic microphone or Condenser microphone. Here's a very quick explanation for beginners:
- Dynamic: Picks up less background noise. Mouth needs to be closer to the microphone.
- Condenser: Picks up more background noise. Mouth does NOT need to be close to the microphone.
One last thing to consider when purchasing a new microphone is the polar patterns.
- Omnidirectional: Sounds will be picked up from every direction.
- Cardioid: Sounds will be picked up from the front.
- Hypercardioid: Sounds will be picked up from the front, with a bit on the rear.
- Bidirectional: Sounds will be picked up from the front and rear, equally.
Blue Microphones Yeti (USB/Condenser)
One of the most popular microphones over the last few years, especially in the affordable content creation world, has been Blue Microphones Yeti. It is packed full of features and guarantees beautiful sounds at a reasonable price.
- Includes all four polar patterns
- Gain control
- Mute control
- Zero-latency headphone port
- Very versatile
- Picks up a lot of background noise
- Bulky on desk
Audio Technica AT2020 (USB/Condenser)
At one point in time, this was the leading industry microphone, especially for live video. Originally designed for studio use, but quickly found its place in home studios and gaming setups. With its extreme affordability, it's hard to pass this one up, even though it is lacking a few selling features the Yeti has. It does, however, make up for the lack of features in the superb sound quality.
- Wide dynamic range for all voices
- High-quality voice
- Looks professional on camera
- Extended frequency response
- Picks up a good amount of background noise
- Not versatile
- No onboard controls
Audio Technica AT2035 (XLR/Condenser)
While the AT2020 and AT2035 look identical, they are certainly way different where it matters most, sound quality. As the big brother to the AT2020, the AT2035 features a larger range of sound, which will not only capture low frequencies better but will also sound crisper. The AT2035 is far more superior and a lot more accurate with sound reproduction.
Despite the similarities between the AT2035 has a much larger diaphragm of 24mm, while the AT2020 as a diaphragm of 16mm. That stat alone is a selling feature. On the rear of the AT2035, there is a low-cut switch (meaning it will reduce the low frequencies being picked up) and a 10bB pad switch, which will cut the incoming levels by 10 decibels.
- Large diaphragm
- Crisp audio quality
- More accurate sound reproduction
- Low-cut switch
- 10bB pad switch
- Covers more range in the entire audible spectrum
- Comes with a shock mount
- Picks up some background noise, noticeably less than the AT2020
- Not versatile
- You will need an audio interface in order to use
Razer Seiren Pro Elite (USB/XLR/Condenser)
If you're in the gaming industry, then I'm sure you've heard of Razer. They are widely known for their gaming peripherals (mouse, keyboards, headsets). Recently, they have branched out and took a stab in the audio market with microphones.
The Razer Seiren Pro Elite is almost a direct competitor to the Blue Yeti. With many of the same features, as well as audio quality, it's easy to NOT think about this microphone. Especially if you are a gamer/streamer, since this microphone was designed with gamers in mind. With four dedicated polar patterns, a high-pass filter, and the ability to use XLR, it seems like a no-brainer – if only the price was more affordable!
- XLR and USB compatible
- Includes all four polar patterns
- High-pass filter
- Has that gaming aesthetic
- Zero-latency headphone port
- Very expensive
- Bulky on desk
- Will need an audio interface to use XLR
- Subpar audio quality in comparison to the rest of our list
Audio Technica ATR2100 (USB/XLR/Dynamic)
It's time we talk about the first dynamic microphone on this list, the Audio Technica ATR2100. If you haven't noticed, Audio Technica is a massive brand in the audio world. As for this microphone, it's an extremely affordable entry into the dynamic world. In most scenarios, dynamic will always be better for voice, especially if you are streaming or recording. Essentially, dynamic microphones are more focused on their sound, so the background noise will be minimal, possibly even silent if set up properly.
This particular microphone is special, just like the Razer Seiren Pro Elite. It features both XLR and USB, so you don't necessarily need an audio interface, but if you want the most potential out of this microphone, you'll want an audio interface and you'll want to use XLR.
- XLR and USB compatible
- High-quality audio
- Minimal background noise
- On/Off switch
- VERY affordable
- Not very attractive
- Will need and audio interface to use XLR
- Not versatile
Shure SM58 (XLR/Dynamic)
A staple in the live performance world, specifically live stage performances, is the Shure SM58. Its amazing build quality and superior sound quality, both in the studio and live, set this microphone apart from many others. If you're looking for a microphone made specifically for live vocals, this will be your go-to. It's an industry standard. It's raw, simple, solid…it's simply amazing!
- High-quality
- Solid build construction
- Built with vocalists in mind, so very focused on vocal quality
- Very affordable for a high-quality, professional, industry standard microphone
- Minimal background noise if set up properly with your audio interface
- Very basic in functionality
- You will need an audio interface
Shure SM7B (XLR/Dynamic)
If you've done any kind of research on microphones, you've probably run across the Shure SM7B. In the audio world, specifically in the studio recording world, the Shure SM7B is the holy grail of microphones. Even though it's decades old, it's way beyond its time. With popular artists like Michael Jackson and Led Zeppelin using this microphone on recordings, you can rest assured that this microphone provides exceptional audio quality, in both recordings and live streaming.
This microphone does come with a few issues. For one, it's relatively expensive, especially if you are just getting started in this world. At roughly $400 USD, it's certainly a stretch. On top of the higher price, you'll also need a higher end audio interface. If you have a more affordable interface, you'll have to spend an extra $150 for a Cloudlifter. So be ready to break the bank if you decide to purchase this microphone. While it is expensive, the performance you receive from this microphone is probably the best on this list. You won't have buyers remorse!
- Extremely high-quality audio
- No background noise if set up properly
- Looks amazing
- Solid build construction
- Built specifically for vocals
- Bragging rights
- Internal shock mount
- Expensive
- Need higher end audio interface or Cloudlifter
Sennheiser e835 (XLR/Dynamic)
Sennheiser, just like Audio Technica and Shure, is a very popular brand of microphones. However, unlike the other brands, Sennheiser seems to focus on lavalier and shotgun microphones, not the traditional microphones seen on this list. With that said, they do make an exceptionally well-built microphone, the Sennheiser e835. This microphone is typically compared to the Shure SM58. With its affordability, high-quality audio, and well-built construction, it's a no-brainer if you're looking for a microphone in this style.
- High-quality
- Solid build construction
- Built with vocalists in mind, so very focused on vocal quality
- Very affordable for a high-quality, professional, industry standard microphone
- Minimal background noise if set up properly with your audio interface
- Very basic in functionality
- You will need an audio interface
RODE Procaster (XLR/Dynamic)
RODE is an underrated company in the audio world. While they seem to be most known for their RODE Microphone Pro for DSLR/hotshoe mounts, they do produce other high-quality audio products. Most notable is the RODE Procaster, which is widely used for podcasters.
- Little to no background noise
- Internal shock mount
- Internal pop filter
- Great audio quality
- Needs an audio interface
- Expensive
Heil PR40 (XLR/Dynamic)
Remember when we said the holy grail of microphones is the Shure SM7B? While that is definitely true in the audio world, the Heil PR40 is the holy grail of microphones in the podcasting world. It's an extremely popular microphone for podcasters for its high-quality audio, as well as it's podcasty look. While it is the holy grail in the podcasting world, we don't think it's worth the high price tag. When it comes to the ratio between performance and price, it's really hard to justify this microphone. If we had to compare it's quality to any other microphone on this list, we would have to say the RODE Procaster or Shure SM58. However, if you're willing to pay the extra price for a marginal difference, this is awesome!
- Great audio quality
- Sleek design
- Sturdy build quality
- Built with podcasters in mind, so great for those who do a lot of speaking
- Expensive
- Needs an audio interface
- Price to performance isn't quite there
Every microphone on this list is definitely something we would recommend if you plan on doing a live stream, or any kind of voice recording. While they are all fairly affordable, there are certainly better microphones on the market if you are willing to spend the money. With that said, a lot of these microphones are industry standards and once you've purchased them, you may never need to buy another microphone again (specifically looking at you, Shure SM7B and Heil PR40).
As with every product on the market, we would recommend you to do some research on the microphone you want to purchase, especially comparisons between models on this list. Some of these microphones may actually surprise you!
We hope this list has been able to help you make your microphone purchase, or at the very least, solidified your decision! Which microphone do you use? We would love to hear in the comment section!

I have set up a DNA study; this has its own webpages. At present there there is only my brother's Y-DNA test results. Those participating will usually need to pay their own costs (or maybe have it paid by a female relation who wants the info.), though donations are invited which could subsidise or pay for the tests of key men who either aren't interested or aren't able to afford the test.
What this could tell us
- If Go(a)thams from different parts of England have DNA from a common Gotham ancestor in a male-line then a Y-DNA test would show this.
- With or without links established between the English groups, the test could show with which English group the Gothams from the US (those who are a bit hazy about their origins in England) are related. (Even if the English groups are related, that US Gothams could have later changes only found in one English group, though that this will be the case cannot be assumed).
- It would only be possible to determine if we are related to other families where a male line is known to survive. Hence, while it would be interesting to know if any (or all) of us are related to the de Gothams of Norton Lees, I very much doubt anyone can trace their male line back to this family with any certainty, so there will be no chance of any DNA from that family with which to compare the DNA of Go(a)thams living now.
- For centuries there was more than one 'group' in Devon – were they related? The Christian names suggest some of them at least were, but if no other evidence is found DNA could confirm this, where descendants survive. However, most of the Devon families seem to have left no male-line descendants, having died or daughtered out to long ago for autosomal DNA to help.
- If enough Y-chromsome markers match it will point to a link, but the absence of such markers would not necessarily point to the absence of a link. This may sound surprising so I will expand:
- If at any stage in 2 lines being compared there has been an illegitimate individual or someone whose 'natural' (biological) father was not their legal one then then a match would not be expected. It does not mean that one Gotham group does not share origins.
e.g. lets suppose a Gotham sailed from Devon in the 1400s and settled in Kent, and his daughter had a son out of wedlock. If that son was the person from whom all Kent Goathams descend the Y-DNA would not match the Devon Y-DNA. If an event like this is early then all may have the 'wrong' DNA, if later then there will usually be a number of lines of descent, only some of which will be affected (and we are more likely to be aware of illegitimacy through PRs). However, with all Kent Goathams being descended from one chap who lived as recently as c.1740 – 1788, despite Gothamas being in Kent since at least 1533, then the chance of any irregular event affecting all lines increases.
- It may be wrong to suppose that all Go(a)thams with a single place of origin were related. Several men from the village of Gotham may have left it during the period during which by-names were going out of use and surnames coming in, and have acquired the surname 'de Gotham' and then 'Gotham'. The Kent, Devon and Staffordshire Gothams could all be descended from 'unrelated' men of Gotham and hence not have a similar Y-chromosome.
I don't know if it is likely that all the inhabitants of a village would have been related around this time, but even if it is, it seems to me highly improbable that all would descend down the male line from the same individual. (If the origins were from a small hamlet or a farm then that they would share a Y-chromosome seems far more likely).
- Let's suppose DNA tests show the US Gothams are related to the Kent Goathams, but show no evidence of a link to any of the Devon Gothams. I think* this would not mean it could be safely assumed that the US Gothams descend from Kent ones; both could share common Devon origins, from a family that has died out there. (* I'm not certain to what extent an estimation of how far back the families diverged could help – or whether more markers being tested could assist with this.)
- If at any stage in 2 lines being compared there has been an illegitimate individual or someone whose 'natural' (biological) father was not their legal one then then a match would not be expected. It does not mean that one Gotham group does not share origins.
- Sufficient people willing to take part are needed. So, please join the project today and help to make it viable!
A Y-DNA 37-marker test is generally sufficient; at the time of writing (Feb 2015) one test costs US $149 through the project at Family Tree DNA.
I understand some one-name studies have a subscription or encourage donations to spread out the costs of getting a few people tested. Any interest / thoughts?
Further reading
The field of DNA testing moves fast so the following books will necessarily be to some extent out-of-date.
'DNA and Social Networking' (2011) by Debbie Kennett
– possibly useful if you are going to run a DNA project, though I expect everything is available online. Explains the obvious in extreme detail (with some errors) but doesn't explain the less obvious!
'Surnames, DNA & Family History' (2011) by George Redmonds, Turi King and David Hey
– lacks the practical details of the above, but a much more enjoyable and inspiring book about what can be learnt from DNA.

Cityview Family Dental Centre offers dental bridges as an option for patients with missing teeth.
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance that attaches to surrounding teeth. You may be recommended for a dental bridge if you are missing a tooth, and would like it replaced. Dental bridges are considered a permanent solution for missing teeth. Depending on your oral health situation, your bridge can last many years.
Bridges generally take 2 appointments. Your first appointment your dentist will take impressions of your smile.
Then, your impressions will be sent to a lab to have the replacement tooth created.
Once it is created, your dentist will cement it into your mouth. You may need to visit the dentist to have it re cemented back into place if it becomes loose.
Visit the friendly team of dental professionals at Cityview Family Dental Centre!

Grace Academy Homeschool Learning Center
Our Mission
The mission of Grace Academy is to provide guidance, resources, and educational experiences that support and encourage home-centered education.
Our Vision
To create a faith-filled learning community of homeschooling families who understand that their choice of education is a valid, beautiful, and holy one and as such, Grace Academy will provide a secure, orderly, and warmhearted place that will:
- spark and develop a love of lifelong learning.
- equip students with strong foundational academic skills.
- furnish a safe and nurturing meeting space for our affiliate programs.
- provide information about field trips, cultural events, and community service activities.
- maintain controlled social opportunities for our children.
- offer innovatively designed enrichment programs.
- inspire service, expand minds, and grow faith.
In essence, Grace is a place to know, love, serve and learn.
Our Foundation
The Apostles' Creed
We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
An Ecumenical Calling
Grace Academy was founded by Catholic families and is guided by ecumenical Catholic principles, which should be respected, but need not be accepted. Our classes are open to all students, regardless of religious affiliation.
"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things." ― Mother Teresa
It is our firm belief that God is eager to see every Christian brother and sister join together to celebrate all that they hold in common. Jesus prayed that all of His followers "may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me." (John 17:20)
Saint John Paul II wrote, "Indeed all the faithful are asked by the Spirit of God to do everything possible to strengthen the bonds of communion between all Christians and to increase cooperation between Christ's followers" (That They May Be One, 101).
Grace Academy
Know. Love. Serve. Learn.

IHCL chairman Cyrus Mistry, currently in midst of a power struggle with the Ratan Tata-led holding company Tata Sons, had initiated an independent inquiry into allegations against Sarna in July. A woman employee had made a verbal complaint to Mistry in July 2015, after which she was moved to another unit within the Tata group at his instructions. She quit the group a few months later as ETreported on November 11.
The woman did not file a written complaint when she was at Tata group but raised the matter in her resignation letter, a copy of which ET has.
Mistry's office had earlier told ET he strictly followed protocol and rebuffed suggestions that there had been delay in starting an investigation. ET's email to Mistry on Sarna's continuing presence on the POSH committee did not elicit any response.
An IHCL spokesperson said: "The company has a strict code of conduct under which an independent committee has been set up to address an issue raised by an ex-employee. Given the sensitivity of the matter and strict obligations to keep the matter confidential under law, no further details can be shared."
Experts said Sarna's presence on the committee was against tenets of good governance. "We strongly recommend that anyone who may have any conflict of interest must selfelect themselves out of the committee," said Nirmala Menon, founder and CEO, Interweave Consulting.
"This conflict can come from personal friendship or work relationships with either of the two parties or any prior knowledge of the incident or of course definitely if the case is against a committee member! Besides, generally, as a good practice, heads of organisations are not part of such committees as they represent the employer and is the authority that implements decisions of the committee."
The company's sexual harassment complaint and redressal policy said the POSH panel was picked on November 14, 2014. Chaired by Arnaz Kotwal, director legal, other members are PV Ramana Murthy, senior vice president and global head of HR; Renu Basu, vice president, sales; and Archana Ram, general manager, business development, besides Sarna.
The six-member committee decided on 23 cases in the year to March, according to the company's annual report. In July, an audit committee led by Keki Dadiseth was tasked by Mistry to inquire into the woman's complaint.
Three outside leaders were also roped in to conduct an enquiry--Deepak Satwalekar, ex-CEO and MD of HDFC Standard Life Insurance Co.; Kashmira Mewawala, head of business development at Tata Capital; and Sonal Mattoo, an independent advocate. The committee hasn't filed its report to the IHCL board yet. A detailed questionnaire sent to Dadiseth did not elicit any response.
Following Mistry's dismissal by group holding company Tata Sons as its chairman on October 24, IHCL's independent director had expressed their support for him. That has led to Tata Sons calling for an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to seek a shareholder vote to remove Mistry as director of the company that runs the Taj group of hotels.

The Universe is Not Expanding
The Universe is not expanding – this will seem like a blasphemy to scientists that have spent a lifetime learning physics or astrophysics, because it is a basic part of the college curriculum. However, as Seth has stated many times - in this case,..."your physical senses are lovely liars." The perception that the universe is expanding is primarily based on the red shift. Recent experiments have even determined that the expansion is accelerating, due to the amount of red shift seen in distant stars. Unfortunately, it is an illusion. Even a child would ask - "Expanding into what?" Physicists don't like such questions, because it makes them appear, less than intelligent. Our universe is not akin to a large balloon, continuously expanding its boundaries. Although, Seth is quick to point out, that the universe is certainly expanding in a way that an idea expands, yet takes up no additional space. We perceive a larger moon when it appears on the horizon, but we know it is not actually larger. It certainly seems to be. We do not assume that Mercury has changed directions, when it moves retrograde. It is an illusion. The illusion will become more apparent when scientists realize that our universe literally blinks, off and on, 1.039 trillion times each second, in our terms, and is constantly created anew. Our universe is different each second, not because its size has changed, but because it is composed of entirely new particles that were not there the previous second. "The universe is continually being created. All universes are continually being created, and the appearance of expansion seen by your scientists is distortive for many reasons." Some relevant quotes are provided from The Early Sessions; Session 42, dictated in 1964. This short ebook provides some important ideas from Seth that may fundamentally change your thinking. As always, his words are elegant and simple.

For ANY type of survival scenario the following elements of survival must be taken into account.
They are taught in the various wilderness survival schools you'll see on the internet or in good books on the subject. From what I have gathered it is as follows, and I'll give more info on each of these later on, but for now the descriptions given below are by no means complete but general.
It is important to note that what is listed here below may also be applied to urban preparedness. You'll understand better when I give more explanations later on.
Think about how the priorities of survival below can apply to an urban environment.
As an example, in the city you may be living in an apartment, to protect yourself from the rain and the wind. Well, in the wilderness you might use a tent to do the same thing. That would fall under 'Shelter' in the list of priorities.
Another example, is that you need heating during the winter in your home, like from electricity or gas. Well, in the wilderness you can use fire. That would fall under 'Fire' in the list of priorities. Continue as I have done and elaborate if you need to.
1. Attitude: A proper mindset will enormously help you when the emergency comes.
2. Shelter: No matter where you are you need to protect yourself from the elements. As a general rule, you can last 3 to 4 hours without it (if in very challenging conditions that is).
Shelter includes clothing, your primary line of defense against the elements.
3. Fire: Many purposes for it. Maintain body core temperature/avoid hypothermia.
4. Signaling: To attract attention to be rescued.
5. Water: As a general rule you can only go three or four days without it.
6. Food: As a general rule you can go three or four weeks without it.
7. Navigation: Know where you are and where you need to go. Have a look at Roaming Survival and Static Survival for important information.
8. Medical: Care for the injured, perhaps even yourself.
Please have a good look at the subject here, because even a seemingly well prepared individual who has all kinds of gear and supplies, knowledge and very good physical conditioning can become his own worse enemy, and ultimately do himself (and others) in if he doesn't have his head screwed on right.
The survival priority that is always number 1, ALWAYS, is having a positive mental attitude. Not taking this into account will cause you to make bad judgments and increase your chances of failure. If you panic, or you are scared stupid, you will make errors that can makes things worse for yourself, and if the case, the group you are in.
This has much to do with your core values and attitude. There are other things as well given the complexity of the subject. Having a proper attitude and ability to cope with stress is an essential element of survival to have, because whether someone is an 'expert' or not, whether you have great knowledge and skills in survival or not, whether you have gear or not, one thing is for certain, and that is that your attitude will greatly affect the outcome of the emergency that is upon you.
Fear, anxiety, anger, boredom, embarrassment, loneliness, depression and other potentially crippling emotions need to be dealt with before they send you down a path to ruin. Having a positive look at life coupled with hope and keeping your mind busy along with some other things, will give you the edge that can see you through your ordeal.
Fear I placed as a potentially negative emotion, however it may be a positive one as well depending on attitude. It can help us to be cautious to avoid making bad decisions that can make a bad situation worse.
Place a photo of your spouse, family, or other person that means a lot to you in your wallet or kit. This can help to remind you of what's really important to you, and encourage you to make it back to them. You should plastify this photo to make it waterproof and more resistant.
For this section I'll give you some links to be able have more details about the psychology of survival.
1. The Ultralight Backpacking Site
Have a look at the video page as well, to learn more about the psychology of survival.
The elements of survival are also called survival priorities, and much debate exists on the subject. I have seen somewhere that there are 5 priorities, another place 6 and elsewhere it said that there are 7. Then the order of priority will vary as well between the different sources. I found 8 priorities in my studies. I didn't invent one, I simply compiled them more efficiently.
The order of priority is dictated by the circumstances in which a person or persons find themselves in. Make a good judgment call by knowing the elements of survival mentioned above, and apply them according to your circumstances.
I'll give an example here and ask you a question. However, one note before you read the question below. Out of the 8 elements of survival you'll see, this is one order the priorities are set out which you'll find as a course of action to take, but not always as mentioned above.
If a man fell through the ice while cross-country skiing on a lake, on a cold windy day in the backcountry and was able to get out of the frigid water with his supplies, what would be the order of priority for this man?
1. Attitude
2. Shelter
3. Fire
4. Signaling
5. Water
6. Food
7. Location/Navigation
8. Medical
In my opinion,
I think that at the same time as this man needs to have a positive mental attitude, that he should first head to the side of the lake where the forest will shield him from the wind, if the ice conditions will permit him to take that course of action. He needs to consider the wind direction as well, and what would be best to do. It is colder to walk against the wind but he may need to if the forest is closer in that direction and will give him protection once there.
If due to ice conditions he cannot, he should head back along the same route that he came from because the ice was stable enough to support him. He may have to deviate his course somewhat, because it depends on what direction the forest is in relation to his position on the ice, and seek shelter once he arrives there. This shelter I speak of should be the forest and any natural features and snow drifts that will help to block out the wind. He will not be able to build a shelter out of natural materials while he is quivering and going hypothermic. Building a shelter of this type can take many hours. So get out of the wind and build a fire.
Then once the fire is blazing and he can start to warm up while at the same time being shielded from the wind, change into some dry clothing. As for the rest he has of course other choices, such as does he build a shelter using natural materials or modern implements he may have and spend the night over there, or is he able to make it to safety elsewhere like making it back to the trailhead where his car is.
The possibilities are almost endless as to details and scenarios that can happen, and this is just an example here. There are variations to the above example that may be given, and then the order of priority can change.
It is always best to have a change of clothing in a waterproof pouch or other as part of your supplies, as well as having a wilderness survival kit equipped with what you need to get a fire going quickly. Having a good bush knife and an emergency blanket as part of your kit is also very important.
Having a wilderness survival kit is something that can literally save your life in a situation like the one above, so be certain to have one. This applies for other survival kits as well.
As for the other priorities you may not even need to consider them, or perhaps some you'll need to, others you won't. It all depends upon the circumstances. In the example above, lets say the person was able to dry off, eat some food to raise the basic metabolic rate of his body to generate heat, drink some potable water to be properly hydrated, and rest beside the fire. Now if this person decides to go back to the trailhead that may be two hours away, and it is 12:00pm and he is sufficiently strong to make it to the trailhead, there is no need to build a shelter and spend the night out there or place signals to be rescued, right?
This person would have addressed the needs for the conditions of his particular ordeal. He got out of the wind, built a fire, had a change of clothes and ate some food he had with him. He also drank some water he had in between the layers of his clothing to keep it from freezing, then rested beside the fire. His body was generating heat as he was walking towards the forest to take shelter from the wind and while quickly gathering tinder, kindling and fuel for his fire.
He still would be in a dangerous situation being wet and in the wind as he was walking, but he had a fighting chance by taking action and becoming physically active, verses sitting out on the lake not knowing what to do. Then after all his efforts the fire was helping him to warm up as well.
If he didn't have food or water, or the means to procure some water by melting snow or ice, or if he had an emergency blanket, or if he had no wilderness survival kit, or if he was injured when he fell through the ice, or while gathering wood for the fire... Like I said above, that there are variations to the above example that may be given, and then the order of priority can change.
Normally as listed above the 8 elements of survival are in that order, but remember that it depends on your circumstances. The more knowledge you have, the more options and the clearer it will become for you to decide the proper course of action to take in an emergency. Remember that this also applies to an emergency in an urban setting as well. You still need to get out of the wind, have heat, have food and drink and so forth.
For food however, it is not a priority that is high on the list. In fact it is the last thing to concern yourself with in the beginning of an emergency, or for a short term emergency because you can go up to 3 or 4 weeks without it, provided you have sufficient potable water etc. However, having said that, in the winter or at other times when it is cool out, having food high in protein, carbohydrates and fat are good in order to raise your metabolic rate which will create heat from within which is very important. Also, after a few days you will lack in energy making it more difficult to do what needs to be done so some food is always good to have with you or to obtain it in the environment.
Shelter is normally first, but I have seen attitude as being first or not even on the list, then fire, signaling, water and food, taking into consideration any medical needs that are present. However if someone is injured then medical will become a priority that you may have to consider before some or all other priorities (except a positive mental attitude). It depends on the circumstances. You need to know how to make that judgment call, which helps if your mental state is good. Do you see why having a positive mental attitude is important? Depending on the circumstances as well as the type of injury, you may need to erect a shelter for the injured person, and then determine what other immediate as well as foreseeable priorities will need to be addressed.
Other things to consider, and not necessarily in this order are:
1. Season
2. Environment
3. Location
4. How many people are in the group, or are you alone?
5. How many are injured if you are in a group?
6. What is the nature of the emergency, and what degree of severity is it?
7. Depending on the severity, you'll need to consider if you need to set up an emergency camp or evacuate.
8. Is an evacuation required? If so:
- Are you sufficient in number to accomplish this task?
- Is the group able or willing to carry the injured person back to safety?
- What is the level of experience of the group as well as their emotional state?
- What kind of terrain will you have to travel over?
- What are the meteorological conditions and what can be expected?
- How far is it to get back to safety?
- How much time will it take to arrive to safety?
- Is there a possibility of making the injured persons condition worse by moving him or her?
- What are the groups resources as well as the resources in your environment?
- Would it be better to send out for help, instead of evacuating with the group?
These are some of the questions you'll need to ask yourself or together if in a group. Group dynamics are extremely important for the sake of efficiency, emotional well being of all concerned and for your overall safety as a group or team. The life of the injured person or persons may very well depend upon it as well.
Proper pre-trip planning is essential if you are to avoid a variety of problems in the field should an emergency occur.
The information given on this page in not complete, but is intended to give you an idea of what is involved when needing to make decisions and preparations. Do some more researching on the subject to get more details.
The priorities of survival (elements of survival) are important wherever you are. I had given examples in the wilderness on this page, however it doesn't matter where you are, not one bit, because:
Granted that the examples I have just given are not detailed and things may be different for you and for how you would deal with an emergency.

First of all, I hope you all are planning to come out to my book party tonight! I just found out that Elaine Turner is giving $25 gift cards to everyone who comes out, so be sure to stop by! (Details here, if you haven't seen them yet!)
I've had a crazy busy week that's been pretty darn terrific. I actually wore this outfit on Sunday, when it was about seventy-five degrees here (swoon). This dress might have been my absolute favorite pick on their website, and I was so happy that it was as comfortable and cute on me as it was the way they styled it! I've worn it probably a dozen times already.
These heels were a gift from Payless from the trip last week — I specifically brought an extra large suitcase so I could stock up on shoes and bags to bring home. 🙂 A few — including these — have already worked their way into my daily wardrobe. (They're not available yet in blue on the Payless website, bu similar ones are here!)
I wasn't sure at first about how much use I'd get out of blue shoes, but the truth is, they kind of go with everything! Who knew?
Gifted Juicy Couture dress, gifted Rachel Rachel Roy vest, gifted Payless heels, Aqua and Accessorize bracelets, gifted Rebecca Minkoff M.A.B. purse.

This week looks good on paper, but traveling daughter arrives home from 10-weeks in Europe tomorrow night and has all of 12 days at home before heading to West Lafayette for her senior year at Purdue. Somehow I think as soon as she gets over some jet-lag, there will be lots to do with her. My baby moves to Duke in three weeks. I know the hours unmarked by work and appointments will be filled with lists, shopping, packing and cooking everything they love before I send them off to sorority house and dorm food. Food is love at my house. Luckily for me, my family loves my food.
I tweeted and posted on facebook a picture of the creme brulee cheesecake I whipped up for dinner club last Saturday night to celebrate Lance and Dawn's birthdays (yep, a couple born exactly one week apart and if you ever play Apples to Apples with them you'll re-think astrology because they are eerily on the exact same wavelength). It would just be mean to post a picture and no recipe so here we go with an amazing dessert from my favorite cooking magazine, Fine Living. Issue #104 from 2010 had a nice 8- piece feature on cheesecakes. One of their fabulous base recipes with many suggested variations. I chose creme brulee for the crowd-pleasing factor, but could easily have made lemon bar, chocolate coffee, cannoli, banana split, creamsicle, Irish cream caramel or chocolate peanut butter cup. Yum.
A little note, a blow torch comes in handy for brulee-ing/caramelizing the sugar. I thought of who might have a kitchen torch and the answer was clearly "me", but I do not. But Tammy's husband, Bob right next door brought over two! I gave him the honors of operating the blow torch (super scary for me). We had left-overs so Sunday night Tammy and Bob came over for a little dessert.
There's not much balance in a dessert like cheesecake. I can say the balance of creamy goodness and crunchy sugar topping with the buttery crust is pretty amazing. Here's what Kelly had to say on twitter when she saw my tweet and shared it with her traveling friends in Turkey: "@Boilerkristin Robbie: whats that? me: creme brûlée cheesecake Robbie: hows that possible? Jackie: IN HEAVEN Robbie: your mom is a god".
You won't find this version in Cooking Light. But when you are getting your dear friends together or celebrating with your family, please don't care about the calories. Have something amazing and savor every bite! I might need to make this again for the family party we'll surely have so everyone can see Kelly's Europe pictures before Kelly and Sara are off to school.
|look it's me and my cheesecake arriving at dinner club
Creme Brulee Cheesecake
2 C vanilla wafer crumbs (I used Ultimate Vanilla Wafers from Trader Joe's)
3 T sugar
7 T unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Crush vanilla wafers until fine in a ziploc bag with a rolling pin or kitchen mallet or use a food processor (easier and then you can mix in the processor bowl). Combine with sugar and melted butter until crumbs are evenly moist and start to clump together. Pat into a 9-inch springform pan evenly across the bottom and two-inches up the sides. Bake until crust is slightly brown, about 10 minutes. Let pan cool a bit on a rack and lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
3 8-oz. packages cream cheese, at room temperature (I used light/neufchatel cream cheese because that is what I had and it was plenty rich)
1 8-oz. container mascarpone cheese
2 T flour
1 1/4 C sugar
1 T vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
In a stand mixer with the paddle blade (or whatever you have), beat the cream cheese, marscapone cheese and flour on medium speed until very smooth and fluffy (about 5 minutes), scraping down sides every minute or so. Make sure there are no lumps. Add the sugar and continue beating until well-blended. Add the vanilla and beat an additional 30 seconds. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended (overbeating once the eggs are mixed in will make the cheesecake puff too much as it bakes and crack as it cools). Pour the filling into the crust and smooth the top.
Bake at 300 degrees until the center jiggles like Jell-O when nudged, 55-60 minutes. The cheesecake will be slightly puffed around the edges and the center will still look moist. Set on a rack and cool completely (or cool a bit and carefully place it in your chest freezer because you only have 4 hours to cool it like me), cover and refrigerate until well-chilled (a minimum of 8 hours unless you cheat like me). Sprinkle top evenly with 2-3 T of sugar (I always use Baker's Sugar which is extra fine, but regular granulated sugar is perfectly okay). Slowly pass a hand-held propane torch (surely the kitchen size is safest, but the industrial one was fun) over the sugar until melted and caramelized.
Since there were pretty berries that morning at the farmer's market I added a topping to each plate. Purely optional. Fresh berries without the macerating in liqueur would be great too.
Topping (optional)
2 C mixed berries
1/4 C creme de cassis (or other berry flavored liqueur)
2 T sugar
Mix all ingredients together to dissolve sugar and chill until serving time.
|ingredients (including optional berry sauce)
|crushed vanilla wafers
|wafers, butter and sugar
|pressing into springform pan
|cheeses and flour getting fluffy
|plus sugar, heavenly light
|crust ready to go
|crust filled with creamy goodness
|let the flames begin
|Bob and his torch
|working some magic on the sugar
|almost done

That's called a fuel cell. Runs on hydrogen.Another possible alternative to help push electric cars would be some sort of fluid battery solution that can be drained and replaced at refilling stations.
If you're talking about an actual electrolyte, that would actually greatly increase mass because you'd be going back to the older wet-cell battery technology, such as lead-acid, and that not only weighs more you then have the issue of having a highly toxic and hazardous chemical in vast quantities in the vehicle with you.
Battery tech just isn't there for electric vehicles. Never has been and doesn't, at this point, look like it will ever be. That elusive super-battery continues to be 'just 10 years away' and has been so as long as I have been alive.

We use Node.js to build back-ends for web and mobile applications. With Node.js, we can build fast applications that scale easily, can leverage serverless architecture, or can be used to provide real-time communication.
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime, designed to provide an environment in which to use JavaScript on the back-end of a web application. This means you can execute JavaScript on the server side, allowing for creation of dynamic web content before it is served to the client. Node.js is event-driven and non-blocking I/O operations are performed asynchronously. Being able to use JavaScript for both front-end and back-end operations makes for a more congruous stack.
Node.js is used in production for sites like Paypal, where their initial foray into using Node.js for their account overview page proved highly successful and instigated a move of more services onto the architecture, Netflix, who rolled their website into a single page application with Node.js, Cisco, Microsoft, LinkedIn and more. In one such benchmarking test, Node.js outperformed Java up to 8.5 times for heavy IO, up to 4.9 times with a balanced workload, and up to 10 times with long running queries.

And yet, the energy of "Kubla Khan" was limited by an accident. Coleridge said that the poem came to him in a dream (literary critics believe opium was involved).
On awakening he appeared to himself to have a distinct recollection of the whole, and taking his pen, ink, and paper, instantly and eagerly wrote down the lines that are here preserved. At this moment he was unfortunately called out by a person on business from Porlock, and detained by him above an hour, and on his return to his room, found, to his no small surprise and mortification, that though he still retained some vague and dim recollection of the general purport of the vision, yet, with the exception of some eight or ten scattered lines and images, all the rest had passed away like the images on the surface of a stream into which a stone has been cast, but, alas! without the after restoration of the latter!
The "person from Porlock" has ever since figured, in literary history, as somewhere between the type of all importunate people who prevent academics from getting their "own work done" at best, and history's greatest monster at worst. After all, if the Person hadn't come barging in, Coleridge might have given the world the director's cut of "Kubla Khan," which might be all the way up at #20 on the Countdown today instead of the lousy #40 where I have it.
But every reaction brings about a counter-reaction. What if the person from Porlock came just in time? That is the suggestion of Stevie Smith's wonderful "Thoughts about the Person from Porlock."
This is the one tactical placement on my Countdown. I wanted to include Stevie Smith, and this is the poem of hers that I think most highly of. But it makes no sense to place it before "Kubla Khan," and if I wait to include it much after, it's not going to be as effective, either.
It's a poem about work, and creativity, and rationalization, and excuses, and the wonder of language, and mystery, and depression, and people's expectations of us, and a little bit about faith, and there's even a cat in it. Of all the poems in the Countdown, it may be the most eclectic in style. It starts with a free-verse meditation; it continues with a lyric section in couplets; it meditates again; and it ends with a meta-meditation, almost in prose, about whether it was right to write the rest of it. As a poem about writers' block and its attendant insecurities, it ends brilliantly with thoughts about such insecurities, and our guilt for even entertaining them.
But wait, my department Chair is at my door . . .

There's a lot of cancer-related info on this site – which supports and extends the info and critical discussion in my two cancer books – see www.fightingcancer.com for details
Miracle Mineral Supplement – a critical review
Jim Humble made a big mistake when he first named his sodium chlorite solution 'Miracle' Mineral Supplement. It was walking straight into the hands of the so-called quackwatchers (the feral hounds from hell who protect the gates of 'science'). What could smack more of quackery? Humble then called it simply MMS and has recently renamed it 'Master Mineral Supplement' . He has also founded a church where the substance can be worshipped. Is this a tactical exercise to create a space of freedom to use a product that might otherwise be proscribed. Or is it that Jim Humble has flipped his lid?
Now the truth is that 28% sodium chlorite solution is powerful stuff. I recently made the mistake of rubbing some on some fungus glose to my groin. The result was certainly a case of the cure being worse than the disease. Within about 15 minutes all the fungal growth in that area came screaming to the surface of the skin as if burnt by a flame thrower. It was extremely painful for about a weak. But did it work? Yes it did.
I have also used it orally. Doesn't taste good but it certainly made me sleep soundly (and I just took a few drops). But I am not a doctor. Here is Dr Sircus's commentary on MMS (Dr Sircus is of course the exponent of a rival master mineral supplement – magnesium (preferably in the form of magnesium chloride oil). Some of the comments and testimonials make some very worrying points about MMS and I for one will certainly treat it with a great deal more caution than I have done up till now
Note: The Cancer Survivor's Bible (2012) is now available – see www.fightingcancer.com
"This book gives hope. …I wish I had read this book before I was diagnosed. My doctors and the cancer charities didn't tell me any of this."

Hosted Domains in Website Hosting
One of the main differences between our website hosting plans is the amount of domains you can host in a single account. Owning more domain addresses with functioning sites for them usually means employing additional server system resources, hence the more domain addresses you intend to host, the more expensive the package. In this way, we give you the chance to select a more affordable plan if you wish to have just one or several sites. In the same time, you can upgrade the plan or keep the current one and only add more slots for hosting more domains as part of your existing account, so you'll never be limited by this feature. Regardless how many domains you host, there's no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it is your choice if you'll also host them or you'll direct them to already existing domains via the parking function.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each semi-dedicated server we offer you includes unlimited hosted domain names. No matter if you register multiple domains here or you already have them through another provider, you can include them in the account on our end with only a few clicks. If you decide to get a new domain through our company, it will even be hosted automatically in the account, so you'll not need to do anything else but begin working on the site for it. All of the hosted domain names can be handled effortlessly in one location via our Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast, if you use rival Control Panels, you can register a domain through one system and host it through another, not mentioning that you have to switch between several accounts to regulate a couple of domain addresses. As a result, Hepsia can save you efforts and time when you manage your hosted domain addresses.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
Our VPS server packages do not have any restriction for the number of domain addresses you are able to host whatever the Control Panel that you pick throughout the process of ordering. With Hepsia, you are going to be able to handle all domain names in one place and any new domain that you register is going to be hosted automatically on the server without having to do anything manually. If you acquire the VPS with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you can select whether a number of domains will be accommodated in a single account or if every single domain is going to be hosted in its own account as there is no restriction how many individual accounts you can create with these two Control Panels. You're able to register new domain names via the VPS billing area and choose which of them you intend to host and which ones to park and forward.

Unlike blackheads, whiteheads are invisible to the naked eye. They only show, when they get larger and larger in number on the face, or anywhere else on the body. Many times whiteheads are mistaken to be pimples as they look similar. Thus, inadvertently people treat them in the same way, which worsens the problem. Hence, it's important to know what a whitehead is, before you begin with your facial skin care regime. Our skin has pores, which allows it to breathe and secrete an oil, sebum, to keep the skin moisturized, naturally. However, when these pores get blocked, due to dirt, bacteria, dust and pollution, the oil gets trapped, allowing the bacteria to grow inside to make a white bump. These bumps are known as whiteheads, which are incorrectly known as pimples by most of us.
Honey is used in skin care for many years, as it is anti-bacterial in nature. Take 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 egg white, mix all the ingredients, till they become a creamy paste. Take a soft linen cloth and dip it in warm water. Put it on your face for 10 minutes, to open the pores. Post this, apply, the honey mask on your face, and leave it on for 15-20, till it dries up. Once it's dry, rinse it off with warm water. It's important to close the pores, after using the face pack. Simply, splash some cold water on your face, and your job will be done. For best results, use this twice in a week.
Whitehead Extractor
The next best answer for how to remove whiteheads, is using a whitehead removal tool. This stainless steel tool has a loop at the end, which is used to scrape out the whiteheads. Do not use this tool on dry skin, as it will lead to cracks and in worst cases, openings. First, give your face hot water steam for 5 minutes and then, by squeezing the affected area, by the tip of your index finger and thumb of the other hand, run the tool to loop out the whitehead. Make sure, you've opened the pores for this whitehead acne treatment by a steam or by placing a cloth of warm water on the face, before you use the tool.
Chocolate Face Mask
I am sure you won't be able to get enough of this! A chocolate face mask that removes the whiteheads, moisturizes your skin and makes you smell delicious! You will need 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, 1 tablespoon cottage cheese, 4 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of oatmeal. Put all these ingredients in a blender and mix them well. Give your face some steam, to open the clogged pored and then apply the blend on your face for 15-20 minutes, till it dries out. Washing it off, by rubbing it in a circular motion, so that your gets exfoliated too. Rinse it off with warm water and then splash some cold water to close the pores.
Milk Mask
Whitehead home remedies can be done at home in no time. Moreover, they use ingredients that are easily found in the kitchen. The final whitehead treatment is, classic milk mask. For this you will need, 1 tablespoon milk powder, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel, 3-4 pulverized almonds and 2 drops of essential oil for fragrance. Mix all these ingredients, and by opening your pores (by now, you should know how), apply the mask on your face for 15-20 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and close your pores, by splashing it with cold water.
Removal of whiteheads should be done on a regular basis, to maintain your skin. Whiteheads can be avoided, by drinking lots of water, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, cleansing your skin on regular basis and making a trip the parlor for a face clean every 25 days. I hope the above mentioned techniques, help you to restore the lost radiance.

Rainbow Alliance Response to Domestic Partnership Act
The Rainbow Alliance of Bermuda (RAoB) is disappointed the Government of Bermuda has taken the approach it has to remove marriage equality from the law. We are in agreement with the Human Rights Commission (HRC) that the proposed legislation creates a 'watered down' version of rights, leading to a separate but equal status under the law. Ultimately, no separate but equal measure allows for equality or justice.
RAoB supports marriage equality. Members of Bermuda's LGBTQ+ community are entitled to the same rights and protections given to all citizens in Bermuda, including having their loving, committed relationships recognized both locally and internationally. Bermuda should remain one of the jurisdictions around the world which has marriage equality. It is unfortunate the Government sees fit for Bermuda to become the first jurisdiction globally to have marriage equality rescinded. This is not the international reputation that our country should strive for.
The RAoB is committed to the creation and promotion of safer spaces in Bermuda. Proposing legislation that allows for further division between the LGBTQ+ community and the Bermuda community at large does nothing to help move Bermuda forward to become a more just and equal society.

text: Coating photovoltaic (PV) cells with liquid silicone could yield more robust, sustainable solar cells at a fraction of the cost of traditional ones. Solar panels deliver power without risk to the environment and climate, but their durability comes at a financial cost. For solar panels to exceed life spans of 25 years, scientists must investigate various types of protective coatings to shield the solar cells from harmful environmental influences. To help protect the fragile silicon solar cells within a panel, manufacturers have used expensive ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) coatings. Now, researchers at the Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (CSE) and Dow Corning Corp. are investigating a cheaper alternative material to protect solar cells: silicone. Silicone is a promising material and has been used to encapsulate PV modules, but until now, it has not been widely used for laminating solar modules. In this mechanical test stand, the researcher examines the quality of silicone-encased solar modules. (Image: ©Fraunhofer CSE) Prototypes of silicone-laminated cells were prepared by Fraunhofer scientists and tested in a climate chamber at low temperatures under cyclic loads. The cells were then tested with a light flasher and electroluminescence imaging to detect microcracks. In comparison with traditional solar modules, the silicone-encased PV modules were more resistant to cyclic loading of the type panels experience in strong winds, in particular at extremely low temperatures of −40 °C. "The study results demonstrate that silicone lamination is well-suited for certain applications, because the silicone protects the fragile components on the inside well and, moreover, withstands severe temperature fluctuations," said project manager Rafal Mickiewicz. The findings, which were published at the 26th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference, could help improve understanding of material requirements for solar modules, particularly in regard to sustainability and output, said Andy Goodwin, global science and technology manager of Dow Corning Solar Solutions.

Note: This post was originally published on July 8, 2014. All posts prior to this date - along with images from April 2014 to March 2015 - have been lost forever to the Internet black hole.
Last summer, my gorgeous friend Kelly came to Toronto for a visit. We were out having dinner/drinks and chatting away when she used a phrase that has stuck with me ever since - she was talking about taking her two daughters out to a bunch of different places and said "I feel like a tourist in my own town". Tourist in my own town. I don't know what it is about that line, but I love it.
So it just became a new feature on the blog. See, Toronto has about a gazillion events that take place every summer (I'm not kidding; there was just a news report on how tired Torontonians are having these constant street closures due to summertime events/festivals) and since I actually like the summer and don't feel the need to hibernate, I can go play at the events and then tell you guys about them. (Disclaimer: I'm pretty pregnant these days, so while this currently feels like a fantastic idea, I can't guarantee that I won't change my mind about wandering street festivals and amusement parks while carrying 40 extra lbs. and doing the prego-waddle.)
This past weekend, we just so happened to have hit up one of Toronto's annual street festivals, and of course I took photos, so let's recap!
It's called "The Taste of Lawrence", which is a blatant rip-off of one of our bigger and longer-running street festivals, Taste of the Danforth.
About four years ago, I lived in a condo right at the intersection where The Taste of Lawrence took place, and it was pretty convenient to be able to step out of my front door and into a street festival. I'm pretty sure that for all three meals on the Saturday of that weekend, I just took the elevator down, picked a food vendor, and bought something delicious. J-Bird loved it. There was a small midway, and there were only a few rides that he was big enough to go on, but he rode them over and over and had a blast doing it. When the sun went down, we walked to the main stage and watched a hula-hooping show where they set the hula hoops on fire.
J-Bird has wanted to go back every year wince, but it always fell on a weekend where he was at his dad's and he kept missing out...
Until this year.
This summer, things have worked out differently and J-Bird was around for the Taste of Lawrence weekend, so obviously I had to take him. (Plus, I found out that there was a Beaver Tails stand there this year and there was no way that I was missing out on Beaver Tails, you guys. I am pregnant and those things are delicious.)
We found a spot to park, made our way over to the tents, and what should so happen to be right in front of me but the Beaver Tails stand. Obviously it was fate. If you've never had Beaver Tails before, let me describe this magical item to you: it's a piece of dough that is pulled and stretched in to the shape of a beaver's tail (duh) and then fried. Then it gets brushed with butter, and then you can choose from a bunch of magical toppings. Years ago (and I'm talking, like, well over a decade) I worked in an amusement park with a Beaver Tails location, and your options were pizza sauce and mozza cheese; Nutella; apples and cinnamon; or cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. The end. Their menu has clearly expanded because there were way more options, and I ended up going for something called "The Choco Vanil'", which was vanilla icing with crushed Oreo bits on top and then finished off with some chocolate sauce drizzle. #noregrets
{there was a picture of my Beaver Tail here}
Both of the boys opted not to get a Beaver Tail, because they're insane. (Although George definitely took a few bites of mine. FYI, stealing bits of delicious deep-fried pastry from a pregnant woman is not safe, and you probably shouldn't try it at home.)
We wandered the festival for a while, checking out a bunch of booths. J-Bird found an ice cream truck and we told him to pick whatever he wanted, and he chose a Rocket. A Rocket, you guys. As in those three-coloured Popsicles that we can find at ANY convenience store, except this one wasn't even Popsicle-brand and it was $3.50. There were Sno-Cones and slushies and soft-serve ice cream dipped in chocolate sauce, and my kid picks the one thing that he can get literally any other day. I do not understand the workings of the brains of children.
One of the booths was selling natural honey/wax products and they had bees at the table, which George and J-Bird thought was the coolest thing ever. I was not so impressed. Bees + AJ = not friends.
{this was a picture of George and J-Bird checking out the bees}
Every year, my amazing friend Jenny gets a booth for her yoga business (and to sell beautiful mala bead jewelry) and I always drop by and say hi.
{picture of Jenny's booth was here}
J-Bird was starting to get impatient for the midway fun, so we said goodbye to Jenny and her husband and walked the final stretch to the "fun zone" - the place where the games and rides were. I feel like you have to go through some sort of seriously sales-pressure-training-course to become a game operator at a carnival midway, because OMG they are so pushy! And there's like a whole strip of them in a row, so after you say no to one, the next guy starts calling at you, and they will totally use anything they can to try and get you to play.
And it worked, because here's J-Bird throwing darts at a dragon.
{This was a picture of J-Bird playing carnival games}
(He totally won, in case you were wondering, and now we have a stuffed ninja-penguin worth about $2 in crappy materials that cost $12 in darts. I know, I know, you're not paying for the prize, you're paying for the fun.)
It turns out that J-Bird has grown so much since his last trip to Taste of Lawrence that he's officially big enough to go on every single one of the rides, so he opted to skip the "kid rides" and go for the bigger stuff (although he wanted someone to ride most things with him). Since I'm currently not able to do anything fun, George got to go on all the rides and I got to stand off to the side and hold water bottles and balloons and ninja-penguin stuffies. But it also meant that I could get pictures of my two favourite people on carnival rides together, and I can't think of a better way to end off this post than with some snapshots of my boys having a blast.
{and then there were four or five pictures of the boys on rides...}
So that's the first "Tourist in My Own Town" post. We measured J-Bird and found out that he's tall enough to go on almost everything at Canada's Wonderland, which George is super stoked on, so I have a feeling that there might be a Wonderland post coming up, too - stay tuned for that!

Chewed Stick Pieces Can Get Stuck in the Dog's Head
Why it is better to keep your dog from gnawing on sticks.
You'd think if a dog chewed a stick into a million pieces, as some like to do, the pieces would get ground up in his GI tract and that would be the end of it. But once in a while, a splintered-off piece of stick doesn't even make it into a dog's throat, let alone his stomach or intestines. Instead, the splinter wends its way into the lining of the animal's mouth — the oral mucosa — and from there begins to migrate.
