GUEST POST FROM EMMA DONOVAN OF PEAS-IN-A-POD - Read Part 1 (Marketing your Small Business with Social Media) here.
So, back to generating good content and developing the art of selling what you do without being too shouty… Here are some of my top 20 tips which will work across all of your platforms and will help you to define some sort of social media strategy:
1. Be on brand. Whatever you post, your 'voice' needs to be as on brand as your images. Be consistent too-once you find your voice stick with it across all platforms. You will lose your audience if you seem like someone with multiple personalities.
2. Don't be too salesy. I've unfollowed so many accounts who post multiple times throughout the day saying things like 'Buy my great pug-dog design cushion' or 'Look at this new design' – anything that is too assertive or 'me me me' is a no-no. It just comes across as a bit rude and could rub your audience up the wrong way.
3. Look at the bigger picture. If your business is inspired by wildlife or you make products for newborn babies, or being produced in Kent is a vital part of your business then make sure you have something to say. Be an authority or expert in your field; provide regular weekly posts on indie businesses in Kent, or the best wildlife images you've seen that week, or support a charity or cause close to the heart of your brand, if of course, it works well with your business and brand objectives. awarenessdays.co.uk or feedly.com will help, as will twitter's 'moments'.
4. Play the long game. Don't post about the cost of your products. The whole point of social media is that it drives traffic to a place where your audience can find out more about your work and craft, fall in love and then shop and keep shopping! You want the followers you've built up to stay interested and to be repeat customers, not just a one hit wonder. Treat them like they're part of your business; tweet or post messages asking for feedback on something they've bought, advice on your latest work or a new product you're working on. If your followers feel they've given some form of investment they'll be more inclined to stick with you.
5. Plan ahead. Creating a content calendar will help your business have a consistent style across all your social media platforms and will keep you on track, allowing you time to plan strategically. You can also add in when particular seasons, holidays or trends fall, when the national awareness days are that suit your business or product and generally the opportunity to be proactive instead of reactive which can sometimes be the case with social media.
6. Be useful. If you're selling commissions or products for weddings or Father's Day start posting tweets about products particular to this as part of a lead up campaign – you can mark these out on your content calendar. Starting with 8 weeks in advance right up until the day before. If you sell and dispatch your products from an on-line shop, keep your audience up to date with last posting dates. This will drive traffic especially leading up to the key gifting times eg Christmas and Valentines.
7. Curate. If you're busy or have writer's block and really can't think of anything to post, curate other good material. Follow blogs or subscribe to websites that have good content that fits your brand sensibilities.
8. Be shareable. Don't make your audience work to share your content, make it as easy as possible. If you've had some great professional shots taken of your products don't post the highest res versions, compress them for web applications so they don't take too long to load in someone's feed.
9. Be natural. Both with your images and your voice – be bright, sunny and positive. Never moan or bitch, no matter how tempting it is. You are your brand ambassador. Dull images and dull posts = unfollows.
10. Reign in the exclamation points and emoji's. They are fun, but use your words more. If your brand is bubbly and cheerful, there are other ways to convey this. Before you post, re-read your caption and get rid of excessive exclamation points and check all spelling and grammar.
11. Dust off your thesaurus and use words that are included in your business description and that represent your brand. Brainstorm a list of words that express your brand and use them repeatedly.
12. Be amusing or super cute. People like to be entertained so make sure you offer entertainment as well as beautiful things for them to buy or things to do. If you have a pet or animal mascot to exploit and it fits your brand then by all means give it ago.
13. Create your own trends / hashtags and search to see which ones have the biggest following. Instagram is great for this – use this intelligence to help you further on twitter too. Plan your weekly content campaign with hashtag themed days of the week or month or join other twitter chats using hashtags. Twubs.com is great for sourcing hashtags.
14. Be generous. Giveaways, discounts, vouchers and competitions are all good currency on social media and in return you'll often get many more shares, retweets, regrams and followers. Schedule them into your content calendar and team up with fellow businesses for a collective giveaway. It's also good practice if you have old stock or some samples to get rid of.
15. Get blogging. Whether you have your own blog or not, know who the key bloggers are and target bloggers who may fit into your target audience. The mum and dad blogging community is huge, as is the health and interior design communities. If your product can appeal to blogs and bloggers, add them to your press lists, google+ circles or twitter lists. Even if you don't want to create your own blog, be part of the blogger community – shout out to them for collaborations, features or guest edits.
16. Be press ready. If you've got products that suit specific gifting occasions, have created something brand new, won an award or are attending an event make sure you have a press release for all occasions and send this out to your targeted press contacts. Connect on social media and find out when their latest deadlines are, you're more likely to get a feature if most of the work is done. At other times plan way ahead for the gifting / fashion seasons – think summer for winter and winter for summer.
17. Recommend and refer – whether you sell on Etsy, notonthehighstreet, in shops and pop-ups, at craft fairs and trade shows, you'll be part of a collective group of makers / producers / small business owners. A whole is greater than the sum of its parts so look at teaming up and shouting about what you're all each up to every week. Make it part of your content plan and always pay it forward.
18. Move your images. There are plenty of ways to create little videos and vlogs about you and your work. Timelapse apps, especially hyperlapse for Instagram are good fun for creating maker tutorials and will help you generate different types of content. Create videos of you putting the finishing touches to a piece of work or a day in your studio or even beautifully packaging your orders… Social media videos are so watchable and if you spend a bit of time and create something that is well lit, looks aesthetically pleasing and teaches your audience something then you're on to a winner.
19. Be personal. Don't just be a faceless post-er – show your quirks, passions and frustrations as you grow your business. It shows your audience that there's a real person behind the products and that by investing in and supporting your brand, they're helping you sustain a life for you, your family, pet gerbil or to buy enough hula hoops to get through the week.
20. Remember that what you do is special. Although you may mix in circles where many of your friends are doing similar things to you, there are many more people out there not doing it, and not possessing any creativity, or desire to run their own business but loving it all the same and wanting to buy into a brand that has a soul. Tap into their day dreams and be somebody's inspiration.

From fixing a door knob to total home renovation make overs, complexes or big commercial buildings , you can count on us for all your renovation wants. Finally, Tim would attain temporary enlightenment right after consulting with the shadowy oracle subsequent door, Wilson (Earl Hindman) slightly softer grunting and finding out ensued. Installing a paver walkway is a really inexpensive home improvement project and can really perk up your home's curb appeal. Andrew also provides help in beginning some side projects about home improvement the most effective aspect you will notice concerning this show is that each and every and each stage of the project is explained in AN elaborate manner. Keep in mind that home improvements not only have prospective monetary benefits, but can also spend off in regards to how rapidly a property sells when it is put up for sale on the real estate industry.
It was a show that was a testament to Robert Putnam's study on how diversity breeds distrust in a community, for the globe of Home Improvement seemed to be a thriving, tightly nit group of white Americans that would congregate at the neighborhood hardware to swap stories of life, family, cars and the dreams, aspirations and hopes for the future. Capizzi Home Improvement provides a consultative method to your home improvement and remodeling demands by listening and finding out about you just before offering any solutions.
Its success was also sufficient to encourage ABC to create many more shows about comedians, such as The Drew Carey Show , Brett Butler's Grace Below Fire, and Ellen. The right tools, though, are essential to succeed within the home improvement and home renovation business. Tim Allen , Richard Karn , Casey Sander , and Debbe Dunning had a reunion in a tv unique named Tim Allen Presents: A User's Guide to Home Improvement in 2003 (a terminally ill Earl Hindman did voice-overs, befitting his never-noticed persona of Wilson). To find certified and reliable home improvement specialists, check with friends, enterprise associates, and neighbours for recommendations. New electrical outlet and light switch plate covers are one particular of the least expensive home improvement projects a homeowner can undertake. At the time, I despaired, it seemed Home Improvement was destined to be the defining comedy of our dumb era.
Even at its finish, Home Improvement remained such a juggernaut that Allen and Richardson were presented $50 million and $25 million, respectively, to preserve it going for a ninth season, which they politely declined. The show has even offered a de facto reunion in the kind of an episode exactly where Richardson guested as Allen's neighbor And that followed various on-and-off-screen encounters among Allen and his estranged Television son Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who's appeared in many Last Man Standing episodes and even directed a couple of. Gulfport Home Improvement gives the highest high quality property door and window installation, garage remodeling and repair, shed building, home siding repair, terrazzo installation services in the Gulfport region. And due to the fact prices are variable, you may end up getting hit with even larger month-to-month payments than you planned.
Numerous purchasers will overlook residence improvements that might be required in other rooms, but possessing up to date bathrooms and a contemporary kitchen is really critical when you are trying to get buyers to agree to the asking price tag for your property. Week after week, I hate-watched Home Improvement largely because of my dad, himself an engineer and amateur craftsman predisposed to chuckle at jokes about compressors, and silently fumed over its sucking. Nowadays, Lowes is a single of the largest retail home improvement chain in the u.s. in reality, it is the second only The Property Depot.

Recently, Facebook fan account Zizan was hacked by somebody. Looks like they do it just for fun. Due to lack of security, Facebook become main target of hackers. Some hackers did it for fun and some of them have their own agenda to take control of the accounts and try monetize them by sending out the spams message in order to get credential info such as credit card number and contact number. But how they hack Facebook account? This post will highlight few ways of hacking Facebook accounts.
Email Address Hack
Here what hackers need to know is our email address. From email addresses, hacker can hack yours facebook account by simply using User id and clicking on 'forget password'.This way Facebook will send link to the already hacked primary email id to change the password of the Facbook account. Hence the email hacker will change your Facebook account's password.
How to prevent Email Address Hack
How to safeguard your Email Address?
Just follow these steps:-
- Hide your Email Address from everyone by going to Edit Profile->Contact Information->Clicking on the icon beside your email address> checking 'Only Me'.
- Change your primary email address to a one that is only known to you by going to Account Settings->Email-> and changing your primary email to the new one (known only to you) and removing your previous email address.
- For additional security, when in Account Settings, check 'Secure browsing' and 'Send me an email when a new computer or mobile device logs into this account' and click Save.
Phishing is an e-mail fraud method in which the perpetrator sends out legitimate-looking email in an attempt to gather personal and financial information from recipients. These messages look authentic and what all a hacker does is setup a webpage similar in design to that of the Facebook homepage, attach a server sided script to track the username and password entered and store it in a log.
Sending people emails stating that someone tagged a photo of them on Facebook in the same format as Facebook and giving a link below to the phishing website further reduces the chances of it being detected as a fake. Users are asked for their login information and they enter their username and password thinking it to be a real page but actually it is other way round.
How to prevent Phishing
Always check the URL in the address bar before signing in. Avoid logging in through various "Facebook widgets" offered by websites and blogs. Instead, use Facebook's homepage to sign in.
Social Engineering
Social engineering involves using any trick to fool the user into making himself vulnerable to exploits. This could involve anything from sending spoof emails, pretending to be from Facebook, telling you to change your password to 12345678 to a hacker maliciously getting out the answer to your Security Question in a friendly chat or discussion.
How to prevent yourself from being socially engineered?
Just be careful. Don't reveal any private or security info to somebody who you chat and discuss with in Facebook.
Save password in browser and forgot to logout
Beside that, users are carelessly save password in the browser Mozilla especially in the computer which not belong to user such as surfing internet in a cyber cafe, shared computer with somebody in the office/campus and also forgot to logout Facebook after using it.

The Launch of A FLAME IN THE WIND OF DEATH/
Last Friday, May 9th, I held the launch party for A FLAME IN THE WIND OF DEATH at A Different Drummer Books in Burlington, a bookshop near Toronto that has been a local landmark for over forty years.
As a thank you to our friends, family and readers who came out to the event, I'd prepared a book lovers' gift basket to raffle off with everything you might want for an evening with your favourite new book—a bottle of wine, chocolate, gourmet cookies, tea, hot chocolate, scented candles, and chocolate covered coffee beans for those nights you absolutely have to stay up to finish! Also, Ian Elliot, the very kind owner of A Different Drummer Books and an all-around great sport, donated a gift certificate to the book store so the lucky winner could pick up more literary goodies.
It was a nice kick to walk into the bookstore to see a stack of our titles:
With the help of family and some very generous friends, there were some lovely refreshments:
I read an except from the beginning of the novel as the team discovers the body that starts this case. Because the main floor of the bookstore was crowded, I got to read from the landing. I felt like Juliet…
After that, we did the signing and mingling. For a while, the bookstore was at full capacity, but later in the evening, the crowd thinned out a bit so you could move around.
(That's my youngest with her phone glued to her hand…)
Can I just say how surreal it is to have your kindergarten teacher come out to your book launch? She was thrilled to reconnect with one of her students and it was lovely to see her (in black, in the foreground of this photo):
Thanks to Ian at A Different Drummer Books for being such a great host for us that evening, and thanks to everyone who took the time out of their busy evenings to come out and share in the launch. We all had a great time!

The air outside is full of the aroma of agriculture, and Johnny Cash classics are being played softly throughout an empty brewery. It's 11:00 am and the rain has just spoiled any plans of being outside. Ten Sleep, Wyoming, a small town with a population sign of 260. It's the morning after a rowdy night of July 4th celebrations, and I'm sitting by myself as a man named Steve sweeps up the previous evening's festivities. He places before me a paper bowl of pretzel sticks and stale popcorn. Perhaps it's not having anything to do in the moment, or the fact that the last photo shoot was less than perfection, but something unsettling is vibrating in my mind.
Last night, Aaron Huey, a National Geographic photographer, gave me his time and spoke to me about how to realize my dreams as a NatGeo staffer. His advice was interesting and his demeanor seemed genuine, but the conversation made me realize how much further I have to push my limits in order to self-actualize my goals of becoming the adventure photographer and alpinist I wish to be.
Ten Sleep, however has proven to be awesome. Even in the heat, the shaded areas are completely climbable and the the majority of people in the town have proven to be friendly. For the most part, anyone who doesn't look like a local is most likely a climber. The Ten Sleep Brewery offers hot showers for two dollars as well as camping at three dollars a night. Ben and I opted out to camp alongside the Old Road near the fish hatchery. Each evening, we wind down the night a campfire at our friend, Cole's campsite alongside the creek, and each morning we wake up slowly and make plans for the day.
June has come as fast as it went, and with the International Climber's Festival approaching, I find myself welcoming every opportunity that comes my way. Because I've always been superstitious and it's my belief that every time I've ever let a sliver of my pride peek through, my opportunities are lost or quickly dissipated. Staying humble has been the theme and I'm doing my best to downplay any connotation that comes along with the declaration of being a photographer.
Being on the road for nearly five and a half months, I'm beginning to get a strong grapple on how to exist efficiently. One thing's for certain, I never plan on coming off the road.

But you have to be more enabled to get a lot of the software the is wanted on a desktop system working. Case in point: Gnome is not automatically installed (or kde or any other wm). Web browsing can be tricky because you have to get wrappers for plugins and so on. For you and me- we don't mind because we know the result will be fantastic, but others who just want to get on with it it can be a pain. Therefore, I'd say a desktop version of FreeBSD would be better described as a workstation. Considering we're comparing to Ubuntu, I'd say thats a fair statement.

Dr. Wendy Xue was born in Shanghai, China and came to the U.S. (New York) at age nine. She grew up on the east coast and has been involved with children from her young teenage years: being a camp counselor, tutor and volunteering at the hospital. Dr. Wendy completed her bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 2002 and went forward to obtain D.D.S from Columbia University in 2007, and finally finished her training in the specialty of Pediatric Dentistry in 2009 at UMDNJ.
Dr. Wendy is a Board Certified pediatric dentist by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, and is an active member of AAPD, ADA and local dental societies. She also believes in giving back and actively participates in various programs such as Give Kids a Smile.
Dr. Wendy takes a rather conservative approach to dentistry and believes that prevention should be the main goal in pediatric dentistry. She believes in not only educating the parents in caries prevention, but also in building a positive and trusting relationship with the children. "Establishing a dental home early in a child's life is the most important factor in preventing disease and creating a comfortable environment for patients". "Dental fear is something that can develop at an extremely young age and continue into adulthood, and I believe that building relationships while treating disease is the key."
Dr. Wendy is also trained in treating children with special needs, as well as children and adolescents with dental anxiety. Dr. Wendy is experienced in various behavioral management and sedation techniques, so there are treatment options catered toward every single child. Each child is special, and Dr. Wendy will make sure each patient feels this way from the minute they walk into her office.

The National Association of Women Artists is pleased to present Jordan: Portrait of a Kingdom, an exhibition featuring work by New York based photographer Leah Morgan. Presented for the first time is a collection of photographs that Morgan took while traveling through Jordan. The exhibition will be on view from May 3 through May 30, 2017.
The works on view show Morgan's ability to form personal connections with her subjects. Nothing feels forced or staged here. Rather, we as viewers sense that these images are Morgan's intuitive response to her environment, what she was seeing and feeling at the moment the picture was taken. The result is an intimate portrait of Jordan articulated through its people, customs, and geography.
Exhibition highlights center on a Bedouin family as it prepares a midday meal together. The event takes shape in images of a young man serving tea while members eat a traditional dish of lamb and rice under a tent, which offers some respite from the scorching desert sun. Next stop is the bustling marketplace in the capital city of Amman. The place comes to life through portraits of proud vendors along with candid shots of shoppers and local goods for sale. The beauty and history of the ancient city of Petra is celebrated though images of The Treasury, the astounding rock cut architecture, and tourist-driven activity that includes camels, horse-drawn carriages, and merchants.
Morgan has built her photographic practice around a distinct way of story telling that weaves between the personal and universal. Reflecting on Jordan, she says, "I am always striving to bring a humanist element to my work. If this trip proved anything to me, it is that differences aside, an inherent fabric exists in this world connecting all humans to each other."
All proceeds from sales will benefit the Jordan River Foundation and its mission to provide safe, prosperous, and sustainable futures for Jordanian children, women, and their communities. To learn more: www.jordanriver.jo
Leah Morgan is continually inspired by the diverse people, cultures, and scenes that she experiences on her travels. Morgan's photographs were selected for the Small Works Summer Exhibition at the National Association of Women Artists, New York in 2016 and 2015. She presented her Maasai Mara Portrait Series in the solo exhibition Photography From The Heart at Berkeley College Art Gallery, New York in January 2013 and the three-person show Celebrating the Maasai at Wade Maxx Gallery, Montclair, NJ in 2016. In June 2013, she had a solo exhibition titled Già Visitato: Sicilia e Toscana at The Gallery at Granduca di Sicilia, New York. Morgan's photographs were selected for the 2013 Juried Art Exhibition at the Southampton Cultural Center and The Retreat's Annual Benefit Art Competition at RJD Gallery, Sag Harbor, NY.

Yoga Teacher Training Forum
Yoga Instructors: Would you like to network with fellow teachers worldwide? Here is a resource to find answers for every possible question regarding continuing education, improving your classes, student safety and much more.
April 27, 2015
Hi Classyoga,
Do you think Holi would be a good international holiday for yogis? Would that help you find happiness. Maybe you should join a Yoga class to cheer you up. Seems like you could use a little happiness and relaxation. Maybe you call it "phony," but a class that makes you feel good is what you need to chill out. For the record: the western industrial machine exploits everyone. It's an equal opportunity exploiter. Your color, country, age, gender, east or west make no difference.
I'm deeply sorry about your trees. I see whole areas of stripped land where forests once were right here in the US. I see mountain tops with no snow, where once there was no snow. We had a president for 8 years that ran this country into the ground. There are people in the west who would like to help your cause. Please remember "unity" is what yoga is all about. Please don't bite the hand of a friend.

Baby Bella Meat Sauce Recipe
Baby Bella Meat Sauce Recipe with grass-fed beef and San Marzano tomatoes make this Italian pasta recipe foodie delight! Step back non-foodie because this is not for the faint at foodie heart!
Where do I start with this recipe. I had a picky eater coming for dinner. What is it with picky eaters? I have yet to run into a food that I don't like. With the exception of okra that is. If it's fresh food and prepared in a way that make the true flavors come out you can count me in. I mean, COME ON! It's FOOD!
This surprised me because this guest has turned me and Jeff onto some really great off the beaten path, restaurant finds. So I figured, "He's a foodie. He'll eat almost anything".
So I put together my Baby Bella Meat Sauce with bucatini pasta. I love baby bella mushrooms. They are much more dense than portabella mushrooms and the baby bella's saute to a golden brown little bite so beautifully. Not to mention that these bite sized delights are perfect for an Italian meat sauce like this, where the large portabella's are jumbo, mega size. I would picture them next to a rigatoni or large sized pasta shape, or next to a New York strip steak.
So I grabbed a pound of grass fed ground beef and began my creation. Honestly pasta foodie's, it's the only way to eat ground beef. You can actually taste the meat, because grass fed beef is usually local, more lean and fresh. What a difference it will make in your final pasta dish.
Baby Bella Meat Sauce Recipe Ingredients:
1 lb grass-fed ground beef
1 lb baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 lb of
bucatini pasta shape
2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
15oz can of San Marzano tomatoes
grated parmigiano reggiano cheese, as little or as much as you like
olive oil
fresh basil leaves or other fresh herb. oregano, sage are options
salt and pepper to taste
Baby Bella Meat Sauce Recipe Cooking Instructions:
I'm going to assume you all know how to brown mushrooms by now but just in case, hey we all start somewhere, I use butter. Julia Child would be so proud. Add butter to the pan on medium heat and melt but not burn or brown. Don't crowd the pan (a quote from Julia) and brown on each side. You'll have to do them in batches and once you do a batch set the mushrooms aside until you complete the other steps.
Now is a good time to boil bring the water to a boil. Use my
how to cook pasta
guide for good tips on how to get it al dente, every time.
Just look at this photo shot. You can see the juicy splashing out of the San Marzano tomato!
In the same pan or separate large pan, drizzle olive oil. Enough to coat the pan. Add the thinly sliced garlic before you heat the pan. This will prevent the garlic from burning. By they way, if you ever do burn the garlic, throw it away. It makes it very bitter and not worth ruining the Italian pasta recipe.
When the garlic is nice and tender, add the ground, grass fed beef to the pan and cook thoroughly. Make sure to mix it up so there are very few large chunks. I wanted the meat for this baby bella meat sauce recipe to have a good consistency.
Now add the San Marzano tomatoes or you can use my
marinara sauce recipe made with San Marzano tomatoes
. For this recipe I used a can of pure San Marzano tomatoes. I wanted the flavor of that beautiful grass fed beef to come through.
Allowed that to simmer for fifteen to twenty minutes. In the meantime I finished cooking the pasta and rinsed in cold water to stop the cooking process. Just before adding the bucatini pasta to the baby bella meat sauce recipe I added the chopped basil or fresh herbs such as Italian parsley.
Now toss the pasta into the baby bella meat sauce recipe and mix well.
I serve the parmigiano Reggiano on the table with the grater. Of course a big chunk of crusty ciabatta bread, a glass of nice red wine and perfecto. We are ready to mangia.
Vivere, Amare, Ridere e Mangiare Bene
Live, Love, Laugh and Eat Well!

Acetaminophen (Tylenol)/
To Listen to this podcast click on this link.
Hi again! This is Dr. Rob, and this is The House Call Doctor's Quick and Dirty Tips for Taking Charge of Your Health.
I am sure a lot of you have heard about the recent warnings regarding acetaminophen, the ingredient found in Tylenol. It seems like nearly every medicine we thought was safe ends up being dangerous, doesn't it? In this podcast I will explain the dangers of this drug and safe ways to use it.
FDA Recommendations for Tylenol
For those of you who did not hear the news, here are the FDA recommendations for acetaminophen:
- All acetaminophen products should be clearly labeled with a warning of the risk of liver damage.
- The warning should also mention the danger of moderate alcohol consumption with this drug.
- There are many medications that contain acetaminophen in combination with other drugs; these should be clearly labeled as containing acetaminophen.
- Acetaminophen is an important medication and should not be taken off of the market.
What's the bottom line? Acetaminophen is very safe if taken appropriately, but very dangerous if taken in large amounts.
Acetaminophen is Dangerous
Acetaminophen is the number one cause of liver failure in the United States. Each year thousands of people need treatment for liver damage related to this drug, and hundreds of people die due to liver failure from taking too much of it. There are three main ways people put themselves at risk:
1. Intentional Overdose
Two of my saddest moments as a doctor have been because of acetaminophen overdoses. I have seen two young people who took large doses of it as suicide gestures. Neither of them was really trying to kill themselves; they took it because they thought it was safe. It's just Tylenol; it's not dangerous. Unfortunately, neither realized the danger until it was too late. Both of them died because they didn't seek help in time. I really believe that proper labeling and education might have prevented these tragic deaths.
2. Combination Drugs
The second way people get too much is by taking it along with combination drugs that contain acetaminophen. Many common pain medicines contain acetaminophen along with a narcotic. Common examples include:
- Vicodin
- Percocet
- Lortab and Lorcet
There are also common non-prescription drugs containing acetaminophen. Here are some examples:
- Nyquil
- Theraflu
- Excedrin
- Contac
I'll post a link to a list of these drugs in the show notes. Look for "cet" at the end of the name or the letters "APAP" on the label, as they often indicate the presence of acetaminophen.
3. Alcohol and Liver Disease
Finally, people who drink more than two drinks per day, and people with liver disease should be very careful taking acetaminophen. Alcohol is also toxic to the liver, and so can increase toxicity. Ask your doctor if you are not sure if you should take Tylenol or other acetaminophen-containing drugs.
Acetaminophen overdoses are not necessarily dangerous; we have good treatment in case of overdose . As long as the treatment is given within 8-10 hours of an overdose, the chance of liver failure is low. But if treatment is not sought in time, the destruction of the liver cells is irreversible. That is what happened to the two kids I saw.
Taking a little over the recommended dose won't hurt you. It takes more than seven times the recommended dose to cause liver damage. But taking more doesn't make it more effective either. Stick with what is recommended. I will put a dosage chart at the end of the show notes.
Acetaminophen is Safe
But hear me on this point: if taken in its recommended dosage, acetaminophen is extremely safe. It has been used for years by millions of people without problems. It is good at reducing fevers and relieving pain without risk of serious side effects. It is still the safest medication for these problems.
But no drug is totally safe. Aspirin, decongestants, and even antacids can cause problems if taken in large amounts. Never take medication you don't need and certainly never take medication outside of the recommended dosage range unless under the close supervision of your doctor.
Quick and Dirty Tips Regarding Use
So here are my tips regarding acetaminophen:
- It is safe to use for fever and pain. Make sure you read the dosage guides carefully, and consult your doctor if you are unsure.
- Using it outside of the recommended dose doesn't make it work better can cause serious harm.
- Check the labels of any other prescription or over-the counter medications you are taking. Not doing this could make you accidentally take too much acetaminophen. Always read labels.
- Don't take acetaminophen if you have liver disease or regularly drink more than two drinks per day.
- If you or a loved one has possibly taken too much, seek immediate attention. Time is of the essence. Go to the emergency room immediately.
That's it for today's episode. Please remember that though medications can reduce suffering and treat problems, all medications should only be taken as directed and only if you really need them.
FDA Statement: http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm168830.htm
List of drugs containing acetaminophen (not necessarily complete):
Good article on the subject:
Dosage chart for children:
[H1]What if you aren't a regular drinker but know that you are going to have a crazy night, a bachelor party, for example. Should you skip the Tylenol for your knee before heading out that night? Or will it only matter if you are a daily drinker?

Infertility: An Anthem to God's faithfulness
Infertility. The word itself is unattractive and harsh. As you insert it in a sentence it causes one to pause and breathe differently. It carries a weight and complexity that other words do not know. Infertility knows the heavy past, but merely guesses at the possibilities of the future. This adjective holds joy, pain, sorrow, dancing, relief and agony for family. This little word carries such complication.
The journey of the infertile ebbs and flows from hot-air-balloon heights to dusty-pit lows. It does not discriminate on gender. While a woman may experience the initial pain, men also know the confusion. It becomes a family burden.
You wake up in the morning and it slaps you harder and louder than any alarm. It then sits heavy on you during the day.
It causes you to question.
And the layers. Oh, the layers.
Will we know parenthood?
And the grandparents? They are so hopeful.
After the 37th Negative Pregnancy Test you question your hope.
It is sometimes more than a heart can take to sit in one more darn waiting room at an OBGYN-Ultra-Sound-Office, next to an Eight- Month-Pregnant-Woman so they can check your dysfunctional-ovaries instead of a beating-heart.
"These ARE the desires of my heart. What is happening, Jesus? You give and take away and I PRAISE you. But, please, please, please GIVE… no more miscarriages. No more taking away."
And in the tangled moments… you sometimes supernaturally and mysteriously love Jesus all the more because you know He can handle your heartbreak and your anger and your confusion. And He draws closer to you. He cradles your ache.
And He shows up and GIVES in gracious ways.
Gifts that are not the sounds of a cooing baby, but still, so precious.
The compassion of your husband is life-giving.
The Word becomes salve to your wounds.
The exhaustion soon gives way to comfort.
The worry miraculously turns to peace.
The heartbrokenness is not removed, but His sovereignty is revealed.
Tears become your prayers… because giving up any more words on this subject of infertility is too much.
Through this long journey, we deeply learn, He is enough.
He is good. He is kind. He is close to the brokenhearted. And His plans are still for-us.
Somehow, through it all…
Through miscarriages.
Through pregnancy tests.
Though medication.
Through fertility treatments.
Through hormones.
Through Ultra-Sounds.
Through surgeries.
Through procedures.
Through it all, He is for us and His promises are still true.
You then say it louder to convince your heart one more time: HE IS FOR US AND HIS PROMISES ARE STILL TRUE.
On the other side of this tangled, twisted season of life… we will be different, we will be better, we will be more like Him. We will be women with a deeper-understanding-of-hope.
Our sufferings do indeed produce perseverance.
Perseverance then produces character.
And character arrives as hope.
The One who provides this hope begins to heal our broken-infertile-places and gives us the ability to believe again.
This belief will nestle itself inside our lungs so that one day we will proclaim with force to the next generation: Wait on Him! He will not forget you! You will find Him faithful in the dim hours. He will prove to your heart that His faithfulness shines the brightest during our darkest seasons.
And one day the dawn will come and crack open the darkness… and it will be more than you can dream, ask or imagine.
It may arrive differently than you anticipated or pictured in your mind. It will arrive, though. And it will be a new season of hope, trials, joy and pain… all wrapped in the faithfulness He has already demonstrated.
And it will indeed take your breath away. And thankfulness will fill your lungs.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia/
I have just returned from a sojourn to Melbourne where I met a worldly aquatic ecologist Dr. Peter Macreadie. Pete is a research fellow and advisor at the University of Technology in Sydney in the Plant Functional Biology and Climate Change Cluster (C3) group. He works out of the Burwood campus of Deakin University. His publishing record is really astounding. I think I liked the title of his dissertation best as it made me think this is a study Steve and I should do together!
I can't thank Pete enough for the tour and the enlightening and inspiring conversations about evolution and seagrass restoration strategies. I can see there are many opportunities for us to easily pursue research, grant funding and papers together in the future. Pete is one of these people that makes anything seem possible with a little dedication and a lot of elbow grease. Really inspiring individual. I look forward to returning to Australia and pursuing some of these projects with him.
As far as the city of Melbourne is concerned, I didn't have much time to look around because I was on a tight schedule to get back to the cultures here in Sydney. My Dad would be happy to know there are more cranes on this skyline than I have ever seen before in my life (this is his measure for how good an economy is). The economy must be good, even a humble house in the burbs will gather over a million dollars if sold. The housing market is just nuts in both Sydney and Melbourne. I hear there are a lot of kangaroos and I can attest to the gorgeous landscape. I would describe it as savannah type vegetation, made from Eucalyptus and gum trees, instead of Oak. It is really exactly what you expect from Australia as a foreigner. It was refreshing to lose the humidity for a day. In that regard, it felt a bit more like home. The Melbourne area has loads of kangaroos, even in Burwood. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any of the iconic kangaroos in person. On the next trip, a journey up the great ocean road with Steve and Charlie is a must!
Back to work tomorrow on the Labyrinthula isolations! I left them in great shape Thursday morning. Lots of fun things going on all around in this lovely country :)

Classic BMW Reborn
- Published: 15/05/2008
- Views: 8119
M1 Homage echoes BMW's 1970s supercar
Thirty years ago, BMW's M1 supercar was a true ground-breaker. It was powered by an inline six cylinder motor which mandated the long engine cover. Penned by legendary Italian designer Giorgio Giugiaro, it ran in its own race series as a curtain-raiser at Formula 1 Grands Prix. It had stupendous performance – 0-100kph in a round five seconds, sublime handling, and was the embodiment of BMW's virtues of fine road manners, stonking performance and technical excellence. The M1 had been inspired by the BMW Turbo, a revolutionary concept car which showcased a raft of technical innovations and which was by Paul Bracq. Now, BMW is paying tribute to the M1 and the Turbo with the M1 Homage, a design exercise developed by BMW Design Group. BMW's design director, Chris Bangle, says the new concept car's Liquid Orange paintwork was developed exclusively and highlights the bodywork's interplay of convex and concave surfaces. Bangle says a significant feature of the original M1, was the twin logo on the right and left sides of the car above the taillights, an arrangement that signalled a mid-engined car. When the M1 was being developed in the 1970s, the dual emblem was the first styling element to be approved even before the initial sketches were drawn. It was decided from the outset that the M1 Homage would feature the same twin badges.
Other specific styling cues inspired by the M1 are the air vents in the bonnet, louvres on the rear windscreen, and the black cutline dividing the roofline from the rear bodywork. The M1 Homage uses the M1's trademark proportions, and combines them with new lines, surfaces and details to create an up-to-date interpretation of the supercar. It has a relatively long engine compartment, a clearly defined transition into the A-pillar and a stretched window line that includes BMW's Hofmeister kink. Where the original M1's bodywork was dominated by high-contrast graphic themes, the Homage's follows the marque's current practice of employing unusual surface styling to make it instantly recognisable as a BMW. Frontal styling adopts M1 graphic design themes, like the contrast between the black recessed surfaces and the main body colour, the small, squat kidney grille and the "invisible" headlights.
The kidney grille combines aerodynamic, cooling-air routing and safety solutions; the headlights are a new iteration of the M1's retractable units. The side bodywork lines, surfaces and details are designed to lead the eye from the front, along the stretched engine compartment and clearly defined A-pillars before converging at the centre of the vehicle. Two lines run from the front along the car's flanks towards the engine compartment. The flow of lines begins in a straight, disciplined fashion at the front end, lowering the Homage's optical centre of gravity and highlighting its low-slung stance. Bangle says the overall design is driven by functionality and each detail has its purpose. The car has sophisticated air ducting through the body; the cooling-air routing for the engine is positioned below the roofline, in the black recessed cutline along the side of the vehicle behind the window graphic. Small flaps and openings guide the air to the engine to ensure an adequate supply of cooling air.

- As iPhone's camera quality improves, many directors are using them to create films.
- The Oscar-winning documentary, "Searching for Sugar Man" was partially shot using an iPhone app.
- "Unsane" and "Tangerine" were two other highly successful films, despite being shot on an iPhone.
As each new iPhone offers increasingly complex photography capabilities, filmmakers are beginning to recognize the Apple device as a legitimate medium.
From the Steven Soderbergh drama, " Unsane," starring Claire Foy, to the Oscar-winning documentary "Searching for Sugar Man," here is a list of feature films and shorts shot either partially or entirely with iPhones.
"Unsane," starring Claire Foy, follows a woman who is convinced she has a stalker, but later comes to question her own sanity when she is admitted to a mental institution against her will. Director Soderbergh's crew shot the entire medical thriller using an iPhone 7 Plus. It's not the first time Soderbergh has experimented with formats and platforms: 2002's "Full Frontal" was shot on a Canon prosumer digital video camera, while 2005's "Bubble" was the first film to be released simultaneously in theaters and on VOD.
"Unsane" hits theaters March 23.
Sean Baker's " Tangerine," stars Kitana Kiki Rodriguez as Sin-Dee, a trans sex worker who sets out on a rampage through Los Angeles after learning a pimp has cheated on her. Baker's crew shot the entire 2015 film using three iPhone 5S devices, with additional photography from an anamorphic clip-on lens, an app, and Steadicam Smoothee Mounts. Baker upsized to 35mm for his recent "The Florida Project."
Director Matthew A. Cherry shot his 2017 feature film about an Uber driver who gets life-changing news on New Year's Eve using an iPhone 6s. He engages with nine different sets of passengers over the course of the night. The film's include stars Dorian Missick, Omar Dorsey, Robinne Lee, Xosha Roquemore, Amin Joseph and Skye P. Marshall.
"I Play With the Phrase Each Other," a 2014 crime drama from director Jay Alvarez, refers to itself as the first film with a plot entirely comprised of phone conversations, but phones played a major role in filming the movie as well. Shot completely on an iPhone, the film details a complex cyber-criminal world as Jake, played by Alvarez , moves in with a friend of his who makes money by scamming people on Craigslist.
Malik Bendjelloul's Oscar-winning documentary, "Searching for Sugar Man," follows two South African men as they attempt to uncover the mysteries surrounding Rodriguez, a 1970s rock-and-roll artist. After Bendjelloul ran out of film for his 8mm camera, he used an iPhone app called 8mm Vintage Camera to shoot the remainder of the movie, which came out in 2012.
OK, technically Michel Gondry's 2017 film "Detour" is more of a commercial for Apple than a film that just happens to make use of one of their mobile devices. But the quirky French filmmaker's whimsical "Red Balloon"-style promotional piece stands on its own as a clever way to show off the smartphone's capabilities and is accompanied by a series of handy videos offering tips on iPhone photography.
Chris Nong posted his eight-minute short film, "The Editor" on YouTube in 2011, after filming the movie entirely on an iPhone 4. The adventure film features intense action scenes, including multiple car chases, which Nong edited in Final Cut Pro.
