Blueberry Picking – Week 10 of 52 Weeks of Experiences
WEEK 9 – Blueberry Picking
Last week I posted about Daily Mom recruiting new contributors. The response was so overwhelming that I almost forgot to blog about this with all the work I had to do. {Literally I have not done anything but respond, answer questions and set up all week and I usually get good 8 hours of work between Lexi's nap, what hubby gives me and how late I stay up at night. So to me it seems like it's been a month, not just a week.}
Anyways, this was one of the more fun and completely new and unexpected experiences for Lexi. For about a week, I'd been telling her that we will have a "fruit picking day". She loves that episode of Daniel Tiger and was very excited when she heard we'd be going on a Fruit Picking Day, listing all the fruits she would pick. I love when we are able to connect an experience with one of her favorite characters, books or shows – it makes a huge difference in her level of interest.
On our way home from our monthly Orlando trip, I quickly looked up some organic farms in the area (there are a lot of them in middle Florida) and since she fell asleep in the car, we had to go to the one furthest on the way home. When we arrived, the blueberries were HIT majorly. Completely picked over. I guess the season was almost over for them.
It didn't matter though, because as soon as Lexi was given a bucket, she began dancing around asking to go pick blueberries in that way that only 2-3 year olds can:"Can we go? Pick blueberries, mama! Pick blueberries! Let's go! Can we go? Can we go? I want to pick blueberries" It didn't help that the owner was chatty, but it was kind of nice to talk to someone about the horribleness that Monsanto is.
So finally we were able to go into the fields (blueberries were planted in buckets off the ground which is really cool cuz there is no pesticide run off from other crops or any other contamination)
What a blast she had!
Seriously she had not been so interested and so involved and active in any of the experience weeks as she did this time. She always enjoyed each activity but usually didn't get excited about it till some time into it. For this one, it was full on excitement from the moment I mentioned it and complete seriousness as soon as we got into the field. She was there to do a job!
So we went to pick, she had no trouble taking blueberries off the branches. Because the bushes were really picked over, it was actually more fun to pick, hunting for blueberries, playing peek-a-boo, than it would have been had they been full of berries. She would move branches, look around, exclaim when she would find one.
This activity is a definitely going to be repeated numerous times as we drive back and forth to Orlando and pass all these U-pick farms. Highly recommend it!
Since we didn't pick that many blueberries (and she dropped the bucket on the way to the car onto a dirty road) and then they sat in the car for a bit, we didn't end up eating them, which makes me think that going to a non-organic farm would be fine for next time just for the experience, not to eat the fruits/vegetables. She didn't attempt to eat blueberries off the bush after we told her that they needed to be washed and was just excited about picking them.
Wonderful time and wonderful memories for everyone involved!

I love, love, love these photos! Her outfit is adorable too!
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Thank you Ella!
So cute!! Why did you deactivate the comments on gentle parenting? I would love to ask you some questions that arose from your post.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
I wrote about it in the post. I don't have time or desire to respond to comments that a post like that would surely bring. If someone is interested in this type of parenting, they can look into it further. If they are looking for support, they are welcome to email me with questions, however it would probably be a long time before I am able to answer, so they are better off finding answers in books.
I would have let her eat a few if they are organically grown, why not? They look delicious, shame they went to waste. Maybe next time bring a cooler to keep the fruit in so you aren't wasting it and she can actually enjoy the fruit she picks.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
If we had gathered a significant amount, I would have been more interested in making sure it survives the trip. Considering how few we picked that they didn't even charge us because there wasn't enough there (Probably would be 25 cents), it was definitely not a waste. Besides I am not of the mindset that ALL food needs to be eaten. There are many cases where food is better off left alone.
I want to go to a farm with several crops that are in season (not at the end of season), so that we could actually show her the result of her work and have her enjoy eating what she gathered. I just have to find good organic farms for that. Otherwise, we'll be going for the picking experience, and if she wants to eat non-organic, as long as they are washed, I don't mind a one time occurrence either.
Fun trip! One of my favorites yet. And snaps for you for having her covered up from the sun (is that shirt like "rash guard" material?)
Do you mind if I ask what you would do with the non-organic berries you may pick next time? Certainly not just waste them, I hope!
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Certainly not :\
There are plenty of other people around us who would eat non-organic, including my husband (I try not to since I am still breastfeeding).
Yes the shirt is mean to me a rash guard but we wear it as a cover up all the time, because it's so nice and convenient.
are those orth-shoes that lexi wears? they're cuter than the old-fashioned boots, but don't look very comfortable for berry picking. my kids had to wear corrective shoes, it was such a pain to match them to clothes!
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Nope normal shoes. Pedipeds. They are designed really well and are very ergonomic but not ortho
So fun! Although, eating the berries is half the fun of picking them! Seems such a pity to waste even a small amount of tasty berries. My SIL takes my little niece to a local strawberry farm and she just loves picking her favorite fruit to eat. It's so adorable to see her eyes light up when she eats the fruit right off the plant.
I like how you give the peace sign in your pictures. It reminds me of my time in Japan! :))))
Stephanie Violet
How fun! We have a bunch of stone fruit farms around us, we'll have to take our boys for an adventure. Thanks for the idea!
Have you ever thought of planting berries in your backyard? We have blueberries, blackberries and cherries, and I'm planning on putting in strawberries and raspberries this year. It's great because you can control what goes on/around them so kids can eat right off the bush! They are such a healthy snack. Shame you didn't get to eat any of the berries you picked. Even if you go to a non-organic place next time, I still think it's worth eating what you pick! Isn't that the whole point of harvesting food …. To eat it? It's like cooking a meal and not eating it. Also, it will teach Lexi respect for the planet and nature. Especially if you eat organically the rest of the time …. Once or twice won't hurt.
Speaking of clean living, I'm not sure if you have addressed this before since I'm a fairly new reader, but how do you feel about living on a golf course? Isn't that highly carcinogenic? Do you take any steps to ensure minimal exposure to airborne off drift, etc.?
I've gone blueberry picking before–it was so much fun and one of my favorite memories! I would eat my weight in blueberries and my Grandfather would joke that it was lucky they didn't weigh me before and after because he would be charged a lot. LOL.
Also, they were not organic blueberries. I lived to tell the tale! 😉

14-16 Empowerment: An Ingredient in Modern Management Empowerment –The process of giving employees at all levels in the organization the authority to make decisions, be responsible for their outcomes, improve quality, and cut costs
14-17 Empowerment: An Ingredient in Modern Management Empowerment increases a manager's ability to get things done Empowerment increases workers' involvement, motivation, and commitment Empowerment gives managers more time to concentrate on their pressing concerns
14-18 Leadership Models Trait Model –Attempt to identify personal characteristics that cause for effective leadership. –Research shows that certain personal characteristics do appear to be connected to effective leadership. –Many "traits" are the result of skills and knowledge and effective leaders do not necessarily possess all of these traits.

14-27 Fiedler's Model Situation Characteristics –Position Power - the amount of legitimate, reward, and coercive power leaders have due to their position. When positional power is strong, leadership opportunity becomes more favorable.
14-28 Fiedler's Contingency Theory of Leadership Figure 14.2
14-29 House's Path-Goal Theory A contingency model of leadership proposing that effective leaders can motivate subordinates to achieve goals by: 1.Clearly identifying the outcomes that subordinates are trying to obtain from their jobs. 2.Rewarding subordinates with these outcomes for high-performance and attainment of work goals 3.Clarifying the paths leading to the attainment of work goals

14-32 Motivating with Path-Goal Which behavior to be used depends on the nature of the subordinates and the kind of work they do
14-33 The Leader Substitutes Model Leadership Substitute –Acts in the place of a leader and makes leadership unnecessary. –Worker empowerment or self-managed work teams reduce leadership needs.
14-34 The Leader Substitutes Model Possible substitutes can be found in: –Characteristics of the subordinates: their skills, experience, motivation. –Characteristics of context: the extent to which work is interesting and fun.

14-39 Intellectual Stimulation –Manager leads subordinates to view problems as challenges that they can and will meet and conquer –Manager engages and empowers subordinates to take personal responsibility for helping to solve problems
14-40 Developmental Consideration –Manager supports and encourages subordinates, giving them opportunities to enhance their skills and capabilities and to grow and excel on the job
14-41 Transactional Leadership Transactional Leaders –Use their reward and coercive powers to encourage high performance—they exchange rewards for performance and punish failure. –Push subordinates to change but do not seem to change themselves.
14-42 Gender and Leadership The number of women managers is rising but is still relatively low in the top levels of management. Stereotypes suggest women are supportive and concerned with interpersonal relations. Similarly, men are seen as task-focused.
14-43 Gender and Leadership Research indicates that actually there is no gender-based difference in leadership effectiveness. Women are seen to be more participative than men because they adopt the participative approach to overcome subordinate resistance to them as managers and they have better interpersonal skills.
14-44 Emotional Intelligence and Leadership The Moods of Leaders: –Groups whose leaders experienced positive moods had better coordination –Groups whose leaders experienced negative moods exerted more effort
14-45 Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Emotional Intelligence –Helps leaders develop a vision for their firm. –Helps motivate subordinates to commit to the vision. –Energizes subordinates to work to achieve the vision.

Wordsworth's World -" in vacant or in pensive mood"
Diesen Blick hatte er zu seiner Zeit. Die Bäume waren noch kleiner oder nicht gepflanzt. Hier entstand auch sein Gedicht DAFFODILS, das vielen Betrachtern vermutlich bekannt ist.
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
William Wordsworth

Beyond our painful agreement that the murderer's Mother was unqualified to own weapons, your points are just not valid. I am armed almost 24 hours a day (I generally dont carry in the shower :-)), but I also have a virtually impenetrable gun safe (to a normal burglar), even though I dont need it in my location/domestic situation. Google is your friend on that aspect.<quoted text>
You're right, for the first time I remember.
This kid's mother knew he had problems, yet kept weapons in the house.
Gun safes are a joke. I've read about burglars who think they hit the jackpot when they find a gun safe. It's like an advertisement;
Trigger locks are a good idea, but you have to go much further when you have children, esp. troubled ones, the weapons should be broken down, with clips and barrels removed from semi-autos, cylinders removed in revolvers.
If you don't know how to break down your guns, you shouldn't own them.
Never have a loaded clip. Keep ammo stored separately under lock and key. The key should be with the gun owner at all times, as with the trigger lock keys.
I hope with all my heart I never have to use a weapon in defense of my life against an armed criminal, but if I do a disassembled, unloaded firarm is worse than not owning one at all....

end of an era
Government announces complete closure of railway service in Newfoundland
It was the
morning of June 20, 1988. A public meeting was held in the Radisson
Plaza Hotel in St. John's. Premier Brian Peckford and International
Trade Minister John Crosbie were there to give short speeches.
Can you guess the occasion?
right – the official announcement of complete railway abandonment
in Newfoundland. For most, it was merely the confirmation of a
long-expected reality : its beginnings go back a long way, and
the signs of its coming were detectable (by some) for years leading
up to it.
would say the fate of the railway was determined as early as Prime
Minister Sir William Whiteway's choice to build a narrow-gauge
railway in 1880. The rest of North America was using standard-gauge
track, where the rails were placed 56½ inches apart. Newfoundland's
narrow gauge of 42 inches complicated the transportation of freight
from Canada to Newfoundland. In fact, a large shop was built in
Port aux Basques to replace the standard-gauge trucks on the bottom
of every freight car coming into Newfoundland with narrow-gauge
point to Confederation in 1949, when the railway passed into the
hands of Canadian National. Some would say that Canadian National,
as a Canada-wide company, didn't understand the true importance
of the railway and thus found it too easy to abandon.
Still others point to the completion of the Trans-Canada Highway,
which made automobile travel and truck-based shipping very economical
and convenient options. As people bought cars (which they did by
the thousands) and as companies started shipping freight by truck,
traffic on the railway declined and its losses increased.
any case, the reasons given by the federal and provincial governments
in 1988 were purely economic. From the federal perspective, the
railway was losing money, and losing more and more every year. A
representative of Canadian National stated that CN could no longer
afford to cover the losses the railway in Newfoundland was sustaining.
From the province's perspective, it was a great chance to
get out of the railway business – the federal government was
promising $800 million for highway improvements.

I want to say this is the best teaching method ever, but I find myself thinking about really wanting cookies rather than listening to her lecture.
I absolutely love the frequently geeky baking blog Not So Humble Pie (home of gel electrophoresis cookies!), so imagine my thrill when I found out that Isa Humble had teamed up with University of Illinois-Urbana histology lecturer Joanne Manaster for a video blog combining science and baked goods into one delicious package.
This introductory video launches the series, but there's others covering all the different cells that make up your blood stream—from erythrocytes to eosinophils. And, yes, there's a cookie to represent all of them. I'm particularly fond of the erythrocytes, with their perfect, little dented centers. I haven't seen any how-to posts up on Not So Humble Pie, but I'd love to know how these were made.

Appendix B. NFS Problem Diagnosis
NFS server problems
NFS client problems
NFS errno values
Throughout this book, we've used the output of
on both NFS clients and servers to locate performance bottlenecks or inefficient NFS architectures. The first two sections in this appendix summarize symptoms of problems identified from the output of
. The last list contains typical values for the error variable
that may be returned by file operations on NFS-mounted filesystems.
B.1. NFS server problems
Check the output of
nfsstat -s
for the
following problems:
> 0
RPC requests are being rejected out of hand by the NFS server. This could indicate authentication problems caused by having a user in too many groups, attempts to access exported filesystems as
, or an improper Secure RPC configuration.
> 0 or
> 0
This indicates a malformed NFS request, detected by RPC or XDR protocol decoding on the server. This can be caused by bugs in the client or server, or by physical network problems.
> 0
The duplicate request cache keeps a record of previously executed NFS requests. The dupchecks counter tracks the number of times this cache was consulted, or checked. The dupreqs counter tracks the number of times a check of the cache had a "hit." In other words, dupreqs counts the number of times the NFS server received a previously executed request. For connection-oriented (TCP) requests, a high ratio of
is 0.01%. For connectionless (UDP) requests, a high ratio of
is one percent. High ratios indicate one of three problems:
The timeout set on one or more clients' NFS mounts is too low. Adjust the
option in the automounter map or the NFS
command upward.
The server is not responding quickly enough. There could be lots of reasons for this having to do with physical capabilities of the server: processor speed, numbers of processors (if it is a multiprocessor), not enough primary memory (check if the percentage of reads is high, say over 5%; this would indicate lots of reads that would be best served from cache if there was enough memory), numbers of disk drives on the system (spreading more data accesses across more spindles reduces response time; if you've eliminated primary memory as a cause, check if the percentage of writes is high, say over 5%), etc. Other possibilities extend to artificial limits, such as the number of server threads set via
There is a routing problem impeding replies from the server to one or more clients.
> 10%
Clients are making excessive use of symbolic links that are on filesystems exported by the server. If the link is to a directory, replace the symbolic link with a directory, and mount both the underlying filesystem and the link's target on the client. If the link is to a file, replace the symbolic link with a hard link.
> 60%
Check for possible non-default attribute cache values on NFS clients. A very high percentage of
requests may indicate that the attribute cache window has been reduced or set to zero with the
mount option. It can also indicate that the NFS filesystem implementation is doing a poor job of attribute caching.
> 1%
The automounter has been configured to mount replicated filesystems, but the timeout values for the mount are too short. The null procedure calls are made by the automounter to locate a server for the filesystem; too many
calls indicates that the automounter is retrying the mount frequently. Increase the mount timeout parameter on the automounter command line.
> 1%
This is typically used only on mounts. Lots of
calls suggests that the automounter is frequently mounting and unmounting the same filesystems. If so, tune the automounter to hold mounts longer via the
option to
. This will improve the response time on clients.
Keep in mind that the percentages of each operation type used are only general rules of thumb. Your site may
have legitimate reasons for percentages that go outside the rule of thumb.

Colours of the rainbow
This lovely little dress is a great example of why we started out… there are so many brilliant companies out there making gorgeous, ethically manufactured, beautifully designed clothes for babies, and we love the latest Little Green Radicals range for this very reason.
Starting out, we wanted to get away from the traditional pink for gals, blue for boys, and so when we stumbled across this lovely brand we were totally smitten. Petrol blue dresses? Why not. Unisex Sherpa jackets in Green and Red? Fabulous – let's stock them.
But when we discovered that this lovely Lake Blue Teepee dress was available in Pink too….well that just ticks all boxes doesn't it. Because even if our little lady wasn't necessarily a Pink baby, there are plenty who are. And with matching Jelly Bean jogger bottoms (in both petrol blue AND pink), this range is just too cute for words.
After all, it would be boring if we were all the same.
All this means that as our little company grows, we are also increasing our range to appeal to as many different tastes, styles and loves as possible. And with such amazing brands out there, it's remarkably easy to keep our offer as fresh and exciting as it can be. So, after a little post Christmas stocktake, we are getting ready for our next round of buying, starting with the Bubble trade show in January. And we really are all set, ready to find more fabulous designs to add to our range. Too exciting. Look out for Spring / Summer updates coming shortly.
In the meantime, keep warm and check our our Winter sale x

Tuberous breast
Your breasts do not have the appearance of a tuberous breast. Your areolas are slightly full and this is a normal variant. You do not have any of the other characteristics of a tuberous breast.
All the best,

Tuberous breasts
Tuberous breasts have a consistricted lower pole or constriction from the nipple to the inframammary fold, the junction between the breast and the chest wall. They also tend to have widened areola and herniation of breast tissue in the areola. It is hard to say without an actual physical examination but you do not seem to have some of these hallmark characteristics of tuberous breasts. Best, MMT

…And now, the end is near/and so I face/my final curtain…
British Airways has hired an investment bank to help it sell most of its stake in OpenSkies, the all-premium carrier flying between New York, Paris and Amsterdam. Most airline-watchers wondered how OpenSkies could work after Eos, MAXJet and SilverJet all failed. Then they wondered how it could possibly survive the downturn in the economy. And why BA would operate a separate all-premium brand when it was rolling out its own all-premium 318s between New Yorkand London. Well, it looks like everyone was correct and BA is trying to find someone to buy most of it (BA says they want to retain a stake, but we'll see about that…)
Of course they're saying they have interested parties (which is what Eos, MAXJet, and SilverJet all said), and that future prospects look good (ditto). Sadly, they have a great product and a fantastic pricepoint. Just like the 3 airlines mentioned above. But the economics simply have not worked, and that isn't going to change. OpenSkies likely only has a few months left. Splurge $1200 and fly them over to Europe – you'll be happy you did.

Berroia Txakoli
Berroia Txakoli
Berroia is an estate-bottled wine made by Bodegas Berroja in the Txakolí de Bizkaia DO. Txakolí wines have a slightly "spritzy" effervescent character similar to vinho verdes from Portugal but whereas the latter are light wines with fresh, clean flavors and bright acidity, Txakolís have more complex aromas and depth of flavor on the palate along with a firm minerality- their signature. The name Berroia refers to the area where the estate vineyards are located. Three Spanish DO regions in Spain produce Txakolí wines in the Basque country: Txakolí de Guetaria, Txakolí de Bizkaia and Txakolí de Alava. There are two Txakolí styles: a cider style and a still wine style. Both styles are made with the Hondarribi grape but one is more cider-like than the other. The still wine style shows the vibrancy and depth of the Hondarribi grape. The cider style has a life span of about 6 months while the still wine style develops for about 14-16 months. Berroia is made in the still wine style.
What makes this wine unique?
Low alcohol full-bodied Txakolí. Nervy and electric in character. Stainless steel fermentation; estate-owned fruit; aged for more than 4-6 months. Great Value! It pairs extremely well with oysters, grilled seafood, asparagus, anchovies and artichokes. This Txakoli can also age.
Rating history:2013 90IWC; 2012 90IWC; 2011 92IWC; 2010 90IWC; 2009 90WA;
85% Hondarribi Zuri, 10% Riesling, 5% Folle Blanche. Sustainably grown (certified) vines planted in 1997. Tended in limestone and sandy soil at 200 m (656 ft) elevation. This is a vegan wine.
Pairing Suggestions:
Aside from pairing extremely well with oysters, grilled seafood, asparagus, anchovies and artichokes, this squeaky clean wine is a great foil to Indian curries, Thai and Vietnamese dishes and Chinese dim sum with a little heat.
Vinification and ageing:
After the grapes are harvested during early morning hours in small boxes, the best clusters are selected and are macerated at 50F for 48 hours. Extended fermentation is carried out at cool temperature (64F) for 25 days to extract the richness of aroma and palate flavor contained in the lees. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to retain its crisp fruit character.
1,500 cases
Location, Soil, Climate:
Located within the Chacolí de Bizkaia/Bizkaiko Txakolina DO (Zone 3) by Spain's Bay of Biscay, and 20 miles east of Bilbao, the vineyards are outside the town of Muxika, at 200 meters (656 ft.) elevation. The vineyards are quite steep at a 12% slope and the soils drain rather well while giving the vines very good exposure to the sunlight. The soils are composed of limestone on the surface with sandy subsoil, both good types in retaining heat, containing low-to-medium levels of organic matter. The climate here is northern Atlantic; with an average temperature from April-October of 59.6F. Yearly rainfall is 59.8 inches, clearly one of the wettest regions in Spain. The disconcertingly cold nights and high levels of rainfall are conditions that don't allow most other grape varieties to flourish. Interestingly, the main grape in the Basque Country, the Hondarribi (Zuri for white wines and Beltza for reds) thrives here and will not grow anywhere else.
Tasting notes:
Vibrant mineral-laced citrus pith and green apple aromas show very good clarity and a hint of white flowers. Clean and linear on the palate, offering juicy lemon/lime and honeysuckle flavors and a touch of bitter quince. Finishes spicy and long, leaving a pear skin note behind.

Theme choosing – need some advices
I am on the path to start a photoblog and I am now at the stage of choosing a theme to use.
Before to go on exposing my issue I better add that I am a novice with WP therefore my questions might look trivial or naive, so please bear with me!
Besides any aesthetic consideration, my main concern is about the chances I can have to customize as much as possible the theme I will pick.
When I browse inside WP themes directory, there are some options (Feature filters) available to refine the search.
I understand the overall meaning of them, but I can't really tell how they will affect the customization features.
To clarify my thoughts, I think I should better describe what I am looking for:
-adding a custom logo and/or header
-changing background color
-changing font type
-organizing the Archive page to display posts as a thumbnails grid
More generally, I'd like to better understand how deep customizations are achievable on free themes and how the theme selected affects customizations possibilities.
Thanks for all the help you'll give me

Building Community Resilience to Water-Related Hazards in the Charleston, SC Region: A Charleston Resilience Network Initiative
A NOAA Regional Coastal Resilience Grant
The South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium, on behalf of the CRN, has received a Regional Coastal Resilience Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to understand the capacity of the Charleston, SC, region's infrastructure to handle nuisance and severe flooding. This information will allow the region to respond now to immediate needs and enhance adaptive capacity for future issues. Partners on the project include the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium, College of Charleston, The Citadel, University of South Carolina, and the CRN.
The CRN and its partners will achieve this goal through three objectives:
- Localized modeling: We will build on existing data to create very localized flooding models that incorporate tides, meteorological events, wind, surge, and infrastructure such as tunnels/drains. This type of modeling will provide the parcel-level vulnerability assessments needed to make plans and implement strategies to increase resilience. In addition, we will localize social vulnerability models to better understand the cascading impacts of failing critical infrastructure on our most vulnerable populations.
- Engagement and educational awareness: An important component of the CRN is helping to foster a common language and understanding of water-related hazards and impacts, both short-term and long-term, in our region. We will conduct focus groups in representative communities and sectors in the Charleston region on vulnerability and actions we can take to address these issues.
- Capacity building: The CRN will use this funding opportunity to build its internal capacity, through strengthening the Steering Group and forming and sustaining Working Groups, such that the results derived through modeling and stakeholder engagement will be given a longevity and utility in implementing resilience strategies throughout the region.
This project is meant to build a more resilient Charleston, where its people and places have the capacity to survive, adapt and grow despite episodic natural disasters and chronic coastal hazards. Results will help move communities towards implementation of resilience strategies.
Questions? Contact Elizabeth Fly, Ph.D., Coastal Climate Extension Specialist with the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium, firstname.lastname@example.com or 843-953-2097
This page will be updated as we make progress on the project.

Because looking great doesn't have to cost the Earth…
The world of fashion can be hard to navigate sometimes. Trends are constantly changing and adapting. Something that's cool one minute (like dungarees in the '90s) is suddenly uncool the next (think dungareess in the noughties), and then before you know it the trend has come back round again (yes, dungarees are indeed making a comeback!).
So, we've found the hottest look in the world of fashion right now and it's really simple to recreate: head to toe leather. Check out our top faux and vintage leather picks now…
Bare a bit of belly in this Vintage 'Cassandra' Leather look Halter Crop Top from ASOS Marketplace (above left). It's a great vintage find and should be paired with some high-waisted leather trousers and a massive (faux) fur jacket for a chilly night out. Or rock a bit of matrix-chic in this Vintage Leather Halter Neck Top Black (above centre) also from ASOS Marketplace. It's a little bit more covered up if you're not keen to show the world your tummy.
It's common knowledge that to really embrace the world of fashion sometimes you have to take risks. But if you're not keen on wearing head to toe leather, this Grey Knitted Dress with Faux Leather Collar and Skirt (above right) could be the one for you. This grey knitted dress has a faux leather collar and skirt, making it a cute and unique piece to add to your wardrobe.
This Reluxe leather skirt and leather shorts from Fashion Conscience are so gorgeous we want to wear them every day. The skirt (above left) is made from upcycled leather with black cotton rib side panels and waistband. The upcycled leather shorts are a super cool way to wear leather this season too. They're made from vintage upcycled leather and each item is a one-off.
Or trouser up in these 80's Vintage Leather Trousers. They're high waisted so are incredibly flattering, and also have a faint snake skin effect on the leather and pleats at the front. So you see, the world of fashion need not be a scary thing – get involved and leather up today!
Here comes the science bit…
GC articles show you one of four ways (the one in bold) to live greener…
/ Be a winner (not a binner) /
/ Turn up the style (not the heat) /
/ Love the trend (not the spend) /

The doors of the world's saddest museum swung open yesterday when journalists were allowed for the first time to see the desecration wrought by the Taliban in the National Museum of Afghanistan.
It was in their final, iconoclastic phase – after they had blown up the giant standing Buddhas at Bamiyan in March this year – that senior officials of the Taliban regime, including two ministers, visited Kabul's famous museum. They arrived with a team of men carrying sledgehammers, then stood around in transports of delight as Afghanistan's cultural history was reduced to rubble.
After three days they repaired to the Ministry of Culture where, over three months, they meted out the same treatment to the priceless antiquities stored in the basement.
The justification for this cultural holocaust was, according to the Taliban's uniquely rigid and reductive interpretation of Islam, that all depiction of the human form is taboo. Hence their notorious bans on photography, television and the use of cameras; hence, also, their attempt to erase all evidence of one of the world's most fascinating schools of classical sculpture.
After five years in power, the Taliban are melting into history. But they are taking with them into the dark practically everything that linked the country to its past. Their crowning achievement was to make Afghanistan a cultural orphan in the world, taking anything that could remind Afghans of their country's pre-Islamic past.
Mir Ghulam Navi, a curator in the museum's restoration department, recalled the day in April when the Taliban arrived. "It was a big surprise,'' he told The Independent. "They turned up in a large group, the Minister of Culture and the Minister of Finance and a delegation from [the Taliban leader] Mullah Mohammed Omar. They said, 'We want to see the museum'. They came with 10 men with hammers and began smashing the sculptures of human forms.
"We couldn't stop them – they said they would kill us if we tried. It was miserable to watch it,'' he said. Another curator, Mir Haider Mutihar, who is now acting deputy Minister of Culture under the Northern Alliance's interim administration, led us into the museum's underground store and indicated a pile of haphazardly broken bits of rock on the floor. They are all that remains of a limestone statue of a figure, dating from the second century AD, which has been tentatively identified as King Kanishka.
The statue was found with many other treasures about 40 years ago by French archaeologists excavating at a place called Surkh Kotal, 145 miles north of Kabul, the site of an ancient temple. "It was exhibited in the hall of the museum,'' said Mr Mutihar. "They smashed it there and we later brought the fragments into the basement. It was one of the first things they broke. The Minister of Culture and the Finance Minister and their bodyguards were watching. They were very happy.''
Nearby in the store was all that remains of a seated Bodhisattva, discovered in the ruins of a fourth-century AD Buddhist monastery at Tepe Maranjan in Kabul. Only the legs folded in the lotus position, beautifully draped, remain. The semi-naked torso, the folded hands, the face with its ineffable expression of serenity, all have been reduced to dust.
Gone, too, though the rubble is elsewhere – probably in the bowels of the Ministry of Culture – are the carvings that give Afghanistan a unique place in the history of sculpture: the "cockpit of Asia'' where Buddhist teaching from India met iconographic traditions from Greece and Persia and produced, in the seventh century AD, a school of Buddhist sculpture that travelled along the Silk Road all the way to China and Japan. All of that is gone now, except whatever may be found in museums and private collections abroad and in books.
"They spent three months smashing objects in the ministry," said Mr Mutihar. "They told me to hold up each piece for them so they could see whether or not it represented human form. It was as if they were killing my own children."
Above the museum's entrance, Afghanistan's interim rulers have hung a banner that reads: "A nation stays alive when its culture stays alive." If peace prevails in Afghanistan, it can be expected that a campaign to restore the museum will be launched, though nothing has yet been announced.
It will be a huge undertaking. As the Taliban retreated from Kabul on 13 November, they found time to call into the museum one last time and vandalise some more artefacts, this time completely at random.Reuse content

There are many advantages to the technology that we have available today, yet that same technology also brings the potential for devastation. Utilizing an online backup service for your business is critical, so we've compared some of the most popular services available. There are many great online backup solutions on the market, but as a consumer, how do you know which one is going to be the best fit? Our goal is to make the decision easy for you.
Why Do You Need Online Backup?
Whether it's your company's logos and photos, or more important corporate data such as accounting records and file archives, online backup services are often seen as a disaster proof way to store your data. Whether you are an artist, photographer, lawyer or have a larger corporation with 100's of employees, utilizing this technology on a daily basis should be a high priority for you. Rarely do we stop to think about what would happen to our data if something happened to our hardware like one of the following:
- Technological disasters occur all the time, floods, fires and tornadoes rip apart offices and leave no discernible trace of technology behind.
- Thieves can break into your office and steal laptops, personal computers, hard drives and servers (or employees can misplace laptops while traveling).
- Disgruntled ex-employees can open and alter or destroy files.
- Viruses can completely wipe out every trace of data you have.
Online backup services are designed as a way for you to store your data without having to worry about what happens if your hardware is lost or destroyed. If you don't need all the automatic syncing features of online backup services (they do the work, not you), and are simply looking for a file storage solution in the cloud, checkout our article on the Best Cloud Storage Comparison Services.
How Online Backup Services Disaster Proof Your Data
Online backup services give you the opportunity to take all of your important data and store it in a secondary location, away from your hardware. When you utilize an online backup service your data is stored at off-site server locations so that even if your computer hardware is stolen or completely destroyed, you can still access your data on the off site server.
Best Online Backup Winners
Below are our picks for the best online backup services. We list the pros and cons for each as well as pricing for all plans available.
SugarSync Review
SugarSync is our pick for #1, best online backup service, standing out because it syncs across all mobile devices and also have live, around the clock automatic backup. They keep all your devices synced (mobile phones, laptops, tablets), and also offer real-time, 24/7 backup with no interruptions or scheduling needed. It is a seamless backup program and even keeps the five most recent versions of all files just in case you save the wrong version by accident. The one pitfall is that SugarSync does not have a support phone number to call. The good news is that there are very few complaints about this service, so there is a good chance you would never even need customer support. Chances are good that you will be able to sign-up and start running with this program with no issues right away.

- Custom plans also available for businesses

SpiderOak Review
SpiderOak (they call their newest release SpiderOakONE) is our pick for #2 best online backup service because they only bill you for the amount of storage you use for backing up, synchronizing and sharing. This is a great option for many people, especially those that are new to online backup and want to see how much space they will actually need. 2GB are yours to try for FREE, but be aware that it will go fast! Just like SugarSync, Spider Oak will keep older versions of all your files while also providing safety in the way of file encryption. The primary downside is that the increased file security creates a bit more of a drain on your computer's memory use and thus you may see a slight slow down in machine speed. However, their enhanced security measures paired with high customer service reviews give them an edge over many of the competitors.
- 2 GB free
- 30 GB $7/month or $79 yearly
- 1TB $12/month or $129 yearly (best value)
- 5 TB $25/month or $279 yearly

Dropbox Review
Dropbox is our #3 pick. They are one of the most widely used services out there (more than 2 million businesses, and millions more individuals). It's pretty basic so not the most ideal for business purposes, but it's super easy to use and clean interface makes it a popular service for personal online backup. Like many of the other services, you get a free account for a limited amount of storage but you can upgrade to a pro account if you need more space. But, unlike others that have tiered pricing, for Dropbox it's all or nothing making them lower in our rankings. They also have limited customer service (via ticketing system and 24 hour response time). However, Dropbox uses Amazon's S3 servers which is the most secure option available. They're a great pick for anyone who is looking for a simple, no frills and no strings attached service.
- 2 GB free for individual users. More storage operates on sliding scale based on incentives like linking to social media accounts and new referrals
- Pro: $9.99/month or $99.99/year for 1 TB (1000 GB)
- Teams: $15/month per user
Choosing an Online Backup Provider
Since the introduction of "cloud computing" a great number of online backup services have surfaced and it can be particularly difficult to decide which service offers the best service for you. Depending upon your online backup or cloud service needs, you may find one service to suit your needs perfectly for personal data and yet a different service for corporate data. There are a number of things to look at when deciding whether a specific online backup service is for you, these considerations include:
- Your budget
- Your space allowance versus how much space you need
- Whether the system is compatible with a Windows, Linux or Mac
- Whether it offers file synchronization
- Whether it allows for person to person sharing
- How many devices it covers
- The maximum per file size of data
- Whether the service offers a free trial
- Whether the service offers external hard drive support.

ADrive is another backup service boasting superior security and storage space. There is also a digital editing feature called "Zoho" that allows you to upload a file and make necessary changes without having to go back and re-upload a newer version of the file.

Carbonate is a publicly traded company with a market cap exceeding $200 million. This means they have a lot of money to spend on marketing (i.e. you've probably heard of them).

Elephant Drive offers a user-friendly experience with easy drop and drag file capabilities.

iBackup Review
iBackup is easy to use for novice customers. Support is generally addressed through email, and the rate at which iBackup responds to customer inquiries is reported as slow. However, the interface is easy to understand and the security is also top-notch. We were not impressed with the pricing, as most plans cost about $1 per GB of storage, which is much higher than many other products.

JustCloud is simple and easy to learn and use. With both traditional backup and cloud storage, JustCloud constantly backs up all files chosen by the user.

MyOtherDrive Review
Visit Website
Editor's note: May 13, 2016 – The MyOtherDrive website is currently down, we are monitoring the situation.
MyOtherDrive boasts many of the same features as it's competition, and doesn't do much to stand out in any one area. It's pricing is relatively high per GB, and it's administrative tools are on par with most other online backup providers. The one thing MyOtherDrive does have going for it is that it has enough storage space to keep any individual or company satisfied. It also does a good job at allowing file sharing and collaboration tools between its users. My Other Drive is easy to use and understand, but does not allow of mobile devices and the support is only available through email.
- Up to 2 GB: Free
- 100 GB: $5.00/month or $55 yearly
- 500 GB: $10.00/month or $110 yearly

- 5 TB business account: $1,200/year
- 10 TB business account: $2,400/year
MyPCBackup Review
MyPCBackup is a low-cost option that uses Amazon S3 data centers for its backup, which is one of the most heavily monitored stations on the internet. MyPCBackup offers low-price incentives for users to pay for long-term storage upfront. If you plan on paying month-to-month, their rates climb rapidly. Additionally, while there are business options available, this service is geared toward individual users, and businesses will pay extremely high rates for syncing multiple computers to one network.
- Home/Pro (up to 75 GB): $8.69/month or $134.64 for 2 years
- Premium (up to 250 GB): $9.94/month or $148.55 for 2 years
- Ultimate (up to 1 TB):$12.44/month or $208.56 for 2 years
- Business Plan (100 GB unlimited users up to 5 computers): $35.94/month ($4.95 each additional computer or 100 GB)
- Enterprise Plan (500 GB unlimited users up to 5 computers): $71.94/month ($4.95 each additional computer or 100 GB)
OpenDrive Review
OpenDrive is an option for users looking for low monthly costs, and there is even a free version you can download, but the storage space for the free plan is very limited. Available on Windows and Mac systems, OpenDrive offers solid online storage and backup on their own custom servers, which they monitor in-house. There are hidden costs associated with this product, however, if you are looking to sync between multiple users, or use advanced features offered by Open Drive such as hotlinking.

- Business Plan: unlimited for $29.95/month or $295 yearly
- Custom Plan: Starts at $6.00/month (for 500 GB) or $60.00/year plus additional features at cost
PennyBackup Review
PennyBackup compresses all of your files to tiny sizes that allow you to maximize your storage space. Unlike many other programs, there is no installation fee, and you can set up PennyBackup on as many computers as you like at no charge and access your files anywhere. Pricing at Penny Backup is dependent on how much storage you are actually using. This can become costly if you have an account with multiple users. You are able to negotiate pricing if you plan on uploading lots of data, but we recommend looking elsewhere if you plan on doing so. There is also no availability on mobile devices.
- $50 per TB
SOS Online Backup Review
SOS is an online backup service that claims to be 'The All-In-One Solution To Secure Your Data'. It is a very fast service and offers a Facebook backup. SOS is one of the more popular online backup choices out there. It was selected 5 years running as the PC Magazine Editor's Choice for online backup, and is also recommended by The New York Times.

Choosing the Right Online Backup Service for Your Business
Research the Company
Choosing the right online backup service for you can feel overwhelming simply because there are so many different aspects to look at with each service. There are currently far more online backup services available than any one person could ever look through in a lifetime. Sometimes it is easier to narrow down choices by criteria. One of the first things you will want to consider is the reputation of the company that owns the service you are looking at. If a company tends to have more negative reviews than positive, try looking into another company's product to see if it also suits your needs. The good thing about so many different companies offering similar products is that if one company doesn't have the reputation you are looking for, you can always try another!
Look at Your Wants Versus Needs
As with any purchase, you want to look at what you want from the product versus what you need from the product. A good example of this is if budgeting is a big concern for you. In order to find a company with a product that fits your budget, you may have to look at dropping a few of your "wants" from the backup service. You can always start small and grow bigger but starting bigger and shrinking smaller, with any service, is going to cost you money that you don't need to spend.
Things To Look for in an Online Backup Service
The best online hard drive backup services offer the following:
- Install easily
- Integrate seamlessly with your operating system
- Don't slow down your computer while you work
- Securely transmit and store your files online
- The ability to back up network drives and external hard drives, in addition to local hard drives.
- The ability to synchronize data between your backup storage and your local storage. That way backups occur automatically based on file differences (i.e. you don't have to manually transfer files for backup).
- Store your files in multiple geographic locations for redundancy (i.e. if a snow storm or earthquake destroys a data center, there should be a mirrored backup elsewhere)
- Not conflict with existing software, especially backup software
- Have a high upload speed (this is especially useful when you do your initial backup – our tests show that some services take days longer for a large data load)
- Offer their service at an affordable price (but remember, the cheapest online backup service is not necessarily the best)
- The company should have been in business for some time, and have a strong customer backing and client base (ie. you don't want them to go under while your important and sensitive files are backed up with them)
Which online backup provider are you using?
