Breast Sagging
My breast was 36 before getting pregnant. Now it is 40-42 and it is sagging... And I'm not that comfortable on wearing bra with wire. And when I'm at home, I also don't like to wear a bra.
"Is there a way to prevent breast sagging, or do I need to wear a bra all the time? And what kind of bra is best to use?"
By the way, I am still breastfeeding my daughter.

Dear singlemom,
There are a number of causes for breasts 'sagging'. One is simply due to age; unfortunately as we all get older the breast tissue will lose some of its elasticity. Being pregnant (and the changes in breasts that this causes) also makes it more likely that your breasts will change appearance, even after pregnancy.
It is best to wear a bra all the time in the daytime. Do you have a 'nursing bra'; these tend to be easier to breastfeed in? Many breastfeeding mums (who are feeding in the night) also wear a nursing bra at night-time, although this is a personal preference.
Using a good moisturiser on your breasts each day (preferably after a shower or bath) can help to keep your breast's shape for longer. Doing muscle-building exercises also helps with this. Women who have a healthy, stable weight are less likely to feel that their breasts are sagging. If you need to lose weight then it is best to do this gradually.
I hope this helps you.
Warm wishes,
p.s. There is no evidence that breastfeeding affects the shape of the breast - it is pregnancy which is believed to do this (regardless or not of whether a woman breastfeeds).

Dear LJ,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Yes. I have two nursing bra. So I think I have to buy another one or two.
And I also need to loose weight. I am now 160 pounds from 110 pounds.
I would like to ask on "What kind of muscle-building exercises will help to shape-up the breast and prevent it from sagging?"
Thank you so much for your great help.

Hi singlemom,
Yes you may need a couple more nursing bras
Actually, weight-lifting and exercises with weight machines are best. It is recommended that you build these up gradually if you have not undertaken this kind of exercise before. Swimming is another exercise which can help with maintaining the appearance of your breasts. Again, losing weight gradually is best.
Warm wishes,

Hello LJ,
Thank you once again for your help.
I'll start muscle-building exercises today. And I'll start loving myself...
It seems that I've already forgotten about myself and my looks.

Dear singlemom,
Indeed! You are a mum and that is wonderful but you are still an individual; you need to give yourself time, respect and care. After all, this is the message you also want to model to your children. Do you have any family members or friends who could help you out every so often so that you can have a bit of 'me time'? I know, from experience, it's hard to prioritise yourself but it is important
Best wishes,

Fungi belong to a group called a Kingdom. Fungi have similar characteristics to plants and are sometimes mistakenly put in the Plant Kingdom. Plants have chlorophyll that helps them make their own food and makes them green. Fungi have no chlorophyll. Fungi decay dead organic matter or grow on other organisms to get nutrients for growth. Animals belong to their own Kingdom as do bacteria.
Fungi can be found in many different environments. Fungi will grow on almost anything. Fungi can be found outside in forests, gardens and even in your own backyard. Some are good to eat, but some are deadly. They can also grow on your feet causing them to become itchy, known as athlete's foot. Some fungi can cause ringworm on the body. Many species are often found on foods in the form of yeasts and molds.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by IceAlisa, Sep 28, 2012.
And what would Gene Turner have to say on the subject?
What subject -- the Mom Gene or pie? Whichever subject, I would expect him to have opinions both for and against most every position, since he could evidently jump both cw and ccw.
Okay, it all makes sense now. You had a staff.
We would get along. I pick out all of the Chex and throw away the pretzels.
I had one baby doll too, but I don't think I played with her much. I had a Baby First Step though, not the kind of doll you "mother". And Barbies. I never even thought about that being an indication toward how I've never really wanted kids. I did babysit for everybody in the neighborhood though. I had tons of stuffed animals, mostly dogs. (My second word was "Goggie", after "Dada". Mommy was third!) Hm.
I meant to come back to this thread and say thanks to the encouraging comments. I appreciate it SO MUCH. I have bad PPD and add in being hard on myself and other things going on out of my control and I feel so inept.
At least I have a happy baby, even when he has pants on his head!
Great photo! A friend of mine posted this article today on facebook about motherhood, and I found it to be very touching.
I've had the opposite experience. Probably the third question my coworkers/friends have been asking is how I feel (after when are you due and is it a boy or girl). Since I've been feeling generally ok now that I am in my second trimester (minus a couple of crappy days in the beginning), I feel that I am disappointing them because I do not have some morning sickness horror story to share. Of course, the really bad stuff you don't want to share anyway.
To be fair, I do try to avoid complaining about some inconveniences to others because I fear that when I am really not feeling well and need help I won't be taken seriously. It's just one of my personality habits. My husband, on the other hand, gets to hear all of the complaints.
The worst - when you are in your 8th/9th month and you sneeze - you wet your pants! So embarrassing!
(There are too many threads about dogs already.)
Unless you mean I had a stick that I beat people with....
Personally I found a lot of AP practices like sleeping with the baby to work better with working than the non-AP alternatives. I'm all for being lazy and having to get out of bed to feed the baby in the middle of the night took way more energy than just having the baby right there in bed with us. And that's just for starters.
HisWeirness, I didn't know a little Weird One was on the way. Congrats
I mean that, at times, someone other than yourself took care of the baby
I did the co-sleeping also, for a time.
Family baths though? **** that! Momma needs her shower - sweet, sweet alone time....
Well, of course. The baby had two parents after all...
Is it bad to assume that a baby has an involved father, or just assume that the mother is doing all the work for whatever reason, thus implying that the father is a lazy deadbeat? I think that's a lose/lose situation...
I see a lot of crap about how people just distrust men. Even fathers. Like, oh, girls only in the co-op day care? Dads can't supervise, they might molest the girls! Including their own daughter(s)! Ugh.
My husband is way better at the parenting thing than I am.
The eye roll was due to the fact that is is assumed that the father does his bit. That only an ass leaves the mother to do everything.
But then isn't it downright unfair to the fathers who DO do their bit? I prefer to assume the best of people instead of the worst...
To be fair, my mother could only recount one male relative in our entire extended family who changed his children's diapers (the couple is now divorced and the children are estranged from their mother), but there's still a huge difference between "not knowing exactly what to do with a baby" and "ditching his children and their mother and providing no support whatsoever."
I mean, my dad never quite knew what to do with babies, but he got into the whole fathering thing once we were older and could play baseball with him. Quite different from a deadbeat.
My friends with twins...the dad obviously HAS to get involved. He can't breastfeed the babies himself, since he lacks the capability to do so, but mom can only physically handle one baby at a time!
Should we just automatically assume that the father does not do his bit? I mean, shouldn't that be a pretty fair assumption to make?
Um, yes. That is true. I would absolutely call someone who leaves the mother to do everything an ass.
Ah, yeah...
That is what I just said. It is to be assumed that the father does his bit. If he doesn't, then he ought to have to testicles removed with a rusty spoon.
I know a stay at home mom who seems to have it all-Wealthy husband, housekeeper, new luxury vehicles every year or so, vacations abroad, etc. I used to sort of hate her because she had it so "easy", until I found out that one of her daughters is special needs, will likely always need specialized care, and recently developed seizures. Most of her care is provided by her Mother, so she's not fobbing that responsibility off. She'll never be "free".
The grass is not always greener. How do you think the Father of your children feels about having to bust his ass to support four people? Instead of envying others who have "more" than you do, why not make frieds with those communal Hispanic women in your area? Maybe you could meet someone you click with who could provide company and share baby sitting with.
I get annoyed at women telling me that I'm "lucky" - women who could easily afford to stay home themselves, but choose not to (which, of course, is perfectly fine) and somehow that means that I lack empathy?
I'm annoyed at women who feel entitled to an opinion about lifestyle, in spite of the fact that they have made different choices in life.
Boy, judging other women is sure a good time! Trying to see things from someone else's point of view?
It's nice that you have so much sympathy for my "poor husband" though. I'll be sure to let him know. That ought to give him a laugh. He has a posh management job with low stress and a good salary. D
If you don't want to be "judged" maybe you shouldn't post online how people are lucky they're not in the same room with you when they dare to comment on your public comments, wish people dead, and want to remove some poor guy's testicles with a rusty spoon.
Yeah, I do feel sorry for your husband. A lot.
Honey, are you married?
TygerTyger, I would gladly watch your kiddies for a few hours in exchange for the entertainment of watching you detach some testicles with a rusty spoon. I don't mind watching kids as long as I get something useful out of the deal. Money isn't always necessary for me, I'm all for bartering and slapstick entertainment counts for a lot in my world. I don't even care whose testicles you detach, you pick.
Rick Santorum is coming to WA to speak out against the legalization of Gay Marriage. Clearly his testicles need to go!
Vote "Yes" on R-74!
Just want to say I know some couples who adopted/raised babies born with drugs in their system. While it worked out long-term, for the first couple years it was complete hell. And that's with no other children in the picture. I don't know how much that applies to tygertyger, but anyone willing to take in a baby born to a meth addict has my respect.
And yes, it does get better. So hang in there.
Yes, drug addicted babies are extremely taxing. I have only taken care of those babies for a very short time with lots of other people around to give me a break or two. If you are caring for an addicted baby 24/7/365 plus another infant, you may feel like no one understands what you are going through and the amount of energy is required.
If you are caring for a drug addicted baby, you may not feel you can go out of your house/living room because you don't know what to anticipate or if you can handle everything - including the people who will tell you how you should raise your children. Comments such as "can't you control your children. You shouldn't take children out in public if you can't control them, blah,blah, blah..."
Not anymore, ma cher. Rather than stay and stew in misery and resent him, I left. I chose to remember the good and learn from the bad. Plenty of people have it much better than me, and plenty have it worse.

Family and Juvenile Law Focus Area
The Family and Juvenile Law Focus Area is structured consistently with our other focus areas: it has a set of required foundational courses, a required skills component, a set of electives to choose amongst for additional courses, and a set of related courses that do not count towards completion of the focus area but may be of interest to students intending to practice in the family law field.
The Family Dissolution course covers the topics of greatest importance in the day-to-day practice of family law. These are also the topics most likely to be covered on the Washington State bar exam. Any lawyer with a practice primarily devoted to family law will need to be conversant with these topics. By contrast, the Family Formation course devotes substantial time to constitutional law and also includes consideration of comparative law. It will be of greater interest to those desiring a more theoretical and critical consideration of family law topics.
A student deeply interested in family law would do well to take both of these courses. A student who expects to devote a significant amount of energy in practice to family law matters could benefit from both courses as well. Family Dissolution is the better choice for those wishing to attain basic familiarity with core concepts of family law, whether for the bar of for practice. For those wishing a greater exposure to constitutional law and policy issues that dominate the developing edges of family law, the Family Formation course is likely preferable.
Students Who Should Take This Focus
This focus is very useful for those students wishing to develop a law practice focusing on family and juvenile law after graduation. It may also be helpful to those who expect to go into a more general small practice, as these practices often include the regular practice of family and juvenile law. Students who are interested in exploring the developing trends in family and juvenile law, even though they have no expectation of practicing in the area, may also benefit from this focus area.

County workers return wheelchair to hit-and-run victim
Two Boone County employees helped find and fix a man's wheelchair
BOONE COUNTY, Mo. - Two county employees were honored by the Boone County Commission Thursday for helping to return a wheelchair to the victim of a hit-and-run.
One night, about six weeks ago in June, Jeff Guyer was searching on Highway HH near Hallsville for his lost dog. He found his dog a short distance down the road, but that wasn't the end of his ordeal.
On his way back to the house, Guyer saw headlights coming straight toward him. He said the next thing he remembers is waking up two days later in Harry Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital after being hit by the vehicle.
Several weeks later, Public Works employee Gordon McCune said he found a beaten-up wheelchair in the bushes alongside the road. He took it home and was on a mission to find out who the chair belonged to. While he was searching, he used his own money to fix the wheelchair.
"Two or three weeks later, I ran into Jeff and got to shooting the breeze with him and figured out it had to be his chair," McCune said.
During that conversation, McCune and fellow worker Adam Reddick learned about the man's story. They knew immediately they could help him out by returning his chair.
"It makes you feel like a better person, makes you feel like you have some sort of self-worth, like you mean something to somebody," Reddick said.
Guyer was so thankful, he not only thanked McCune in person, but he also called the county to let leaders know. County officials say they did not know what the workers did until Guyer contacted them.
McCune and Reddick say it was just the right thing to do and they just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
"I felt like it was just what should be done," McCune said. "I mean, it was fortunate I located him; I felt lucky I was able to locate him."
Boone County commissioners gave McCune and Reddick a proclamation of their efforts.
Although Guyer was not at the ceremony, he told county officials he wanted the men to get the recognition they deserve.
The driver of the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run vehicle has not been found.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA — If you drive south from San Jose until the buildings are few and far between, exit the highway, and take a quick left, you'll find a data center occupied by some of the biggest names on the web. Run by a company called Equinix, the facility is a place where the likes of Google, Facebook, and Amazon can plug their machines straight into the big internet service providers.
If you're allowed inside and you walk past the cages of servers and other hardware, you can't see much. In most cages, the lights are off, and even when they're on, there are few ways of knowing what gear belongs to what company. Some companies don't want you to see. Google engineers have been known to wear miner helmets when installing new hardware, determined to keep their specialized gear hidden from the competition.
But if you walk into the right building and down the right aisle, you'll run into a giant Dropbox logo. Clearly, the file-sharing upstart is proud of its data center gear. But at the same time, it doesn't think this hardware is all that different from what the rest of the world is using. And that's about right.
'Though some people still have a hard time grasping it, these drives save a tremendous amount of money. They look more expensive, but when you need higher performance, you need way less of them.'
Inside its cage, Dropbox is running servers equipped with solid-state drives, also known as SSDs — super-fast storage devices that could one day replace traditional hard drives. The company doesn't use SSDs in all its servers, but it's moving in that direction. In other words, Dropbox is like the web as a whole. Such names as Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Wikia are also using solid-state storage in their data centers, and judging from anecdotal evidence, the trend goes even further.
Like a hard drive, an SSD is a device for storing information. But unlike a hard drive, it doesn't have any moving parts. Today's SSD are built with flash memory — the same stuff that stores data and applications on your iPhone. These drives have been around for years, but they've been slow to make headway in the real world, in part because they're more expensive than traditional hard drives. A 300GB flash drive sells for around $500, whereas a comparable hard drive is closer to $100. A 3 terabyte hard drive — which is about ten times larger — sells for around $350.
But in just the last 12 months, SSDs have turned the corner. They're appearing in high-profile laptops such as Google's Chromebooks and Apple's brand-new MacBook Pros, and in the data center, many companies are realizing that they make economic sense even with their higher price tags.
In 2011, according to Jim Handy, an analyst with research outfit Objective Analysis, businesses purchased an estimated 7.9 million SSDs that connect to servers using the serial-ATA interface — i.e., the interface that traditional hard drives use. That's a $2.2 billion market, says Handy, and he expects this to grow to 13 million devices and $3.6 billion in 2012.
"I think this is getting pretty common," says Artur Bergman, the founder of Fastly, a San Francisco outfit that uses SSDs exclusively in providing a service that helps other businesses speed their delivery of pages over the net. "Though some people still have a hard time grasping it, these drives save a tremendous amount of money. They look more expensive, but when you need higher performance, you need way less of them."
The Speech
About a year ago, Bergman gave a four-minute speech at a Silicon Valley conference attended almost exclusively by engineers who sit on the cutting edge of web infrastructure. He started by asking if anyone in the audience used SSDs in the data center, and less than 20 percent raised their hands. And when he asked who used only SSDs in their data centers, one person raised his hand — the head of engineering at Wikia, who had inherited his SSD-happy data center from Bergman, the outfit's previous head of engineering.
Anyone who hadn't raised a hand, Bergman said, was "wasting their life." Yes, wasting their life. "I keep repeating that to every single individual I talk to, and what I get back is: '[SSDs are] too expensive,'" he said. "Actually, they're cheaper." Cost shouldn't be measured by the price tag on an individual SSD, he said, but by how much you spend on drives across the data center in order to juggle the required information with each passing second.
One SSD, he said, can handle about 40,000 reads or writes a second, whereas the average hardware gives you about 180. And it runs at about one watt as opposed to 15 watts, which means you spend far less on power. "Do the math on how much you can save," he said. In short, you need fewer servers to do the same amount of work. At Wikia, Bergman first installed SSDs on the company's caching servers, used for providing quick access to data that repeatedly accessed by web surfers. Then, he moved them into the company's database servers, where data stored more permanently. This provided so much additional speed, Bergman says, the caching servers were no longer needed.
When he gave the speech, Bergman had been preaching this same message for about two and half years — and few listened. But twelve months on, he says, it seems that the web is finally heeding his advice. Companies are constantly emailing him, just to let him know they've embraced SSDs.
Yes, many companies are still holding back, in part because they're waiting for prices to come down even further, in part for other reasons. SSDs are not only more expensive than traditional hard drives, they can accept only so much data before they can't accept any more. In other words, they have a limited lifespan.
But so do hard drives, which are prone to sudden and unexpected death. Bergman doesn't see a SSD's limited life as a big issue. "It's a pretty good failure mode compared to a hard drive, which just takes longer and longer to write data before dying," he says. At Wikia, he says, he replaced the company's first SSDs after two years, and didn't have any write problems before that.
"I don't trust a hard drive after three years," he says. "They don't fail because they run out of write cycles, but they still fail."
A Dropbox in the Bucket
Dropbox is another prime example of a web outfit that has made the leap to solid state drives. When you upload files to Dropbox, it stores them in the proverbial cloud, shuttling them to Amazon's online storage service, S3. But at the Equinix facility in San Jose and at other data centers across the country, the San Francisco-based startup runs its own servers that keep track of where all those files are stored — and many of these machines are equipped with SSDs.
"They deal with all the file meta-data — what files are in your drop box, who you're sharing files with, what are all the revisions of all your files, stuff like that," says Kevin Modzelewski, a software engineer at the company. "On this meta-data side, we need very high-performance databases."
Some of these machines still use spinning hard disks. When storing larger types of data, Modzelewski says, hard drives still make sense. But when storing smaller chunks of data, the company is using SSDs, and it's looking at using SSDs across the board as it builds new services atop its meta-data operation.
"Things are heating up in terms of how fast you have to move as a company. SSDs let you do that. Because they're faster, to get the same user experience, you don't have to hyper-optimize code just to get products written and features built in."
Part of the motivation, Modzelewski says, is that with SSDs, the company's developers can build new services much quicker. Typically, code must be optimized for use on hard disks, but this optimization isn't necessary when you're running on SSDs. "Things are heating up in terms of how fast you have to move as a company. SSDs let you do that. Because they're faster, to get the same user experience, you don't have to hyper-optimize code just to get products written and features built in," he says.
"Hard drives have particular things that they're good at. You have to build your code in a such a way that it takes advantage of things they're good at and doesn't use them in ways that they're bad at. SSDs are more all-around-the-board fast. It frees you from having to think about this dimension of how your code works. And this makes the biggest difference at the beginning of a project."
Hard drives are good at providing access to sequentially stored data, for instance, but they're not quite as good at accessing random data. "Typically, you would have to worry about how you put all your data very close to together so that it could be accessed very quickly on a hard drive. But with SSDs you don't have to worry about that — especially at the beginning."
According to Colin Corbett — who oversaw YouTube's internal network and data centers before taking a similar role at Dropbox — this is not unusual. "A lot of folks are moving to SSDs in some part of the database tier, while continuing to use hard drives in the rest of their infrastructure." But he does stress that Dropbox still uses hard drives in some servers, and that many outfits are still waiting for prices to come down even further before moving to SSDs entirely.
Facebook Gets Flashy
Like Dropbox, Facebook is using flash storage in its database machines — but the particulars are a little different. Frank Frankovsky, who oversees hardware design at the social networking giant, confirms that the company is using hardware from Silicon Valley outfit Fusion-io that adds flash to servers using the PCI Express connector, long used to connect other peripherals on servers and other machines.
Facebook provides quick access to oft-used data using a data caching platform called Memcached, but when it pulls additional data from a traditional database, he says, it feels the need to use flash. "When a request gets to the database tier," he says. "We want to be able to serve it up really, really quickly. PCI-based flash gives us really high performance on requests…It's a significant improvement on that overall round-trip time to the user."
"Spinning disks are the highest-failure item in everybody's data center, because they're mechanical. Things that move tend to fail. We want to eliminate some of these failures."
Frankovsky says that Facebook is also considering flash as a way of merely booting its servers, so this task doesn't fall on the hard drives. Bergman did something similar at Wikia. "Spinning disks are the highest-failure item in everybody's data center, because they're mechanical. Things that move tend to fail," he says. "We want to eliminate some of these failures."
In this case, Facebook may use something akin to a USB stick or use a separate pool of flash drives that connects to all web servers in a rack of machines or row of racks in the data center. "The discussions have really picked up a lot, and that's because it's becoming that much more within reach from a cost per gigabyte perspective," Frankovsky says. "As they become more and more affordable, you'll continue to find new use cases for it. It's really cool technology. It's just a matter of getting the economics right."
Calligo — a cloud service meant specifically for off-shore companies — has already setup this sort of collective flash storage pool inside its new data centers in the Channel Islands, using hardware from a Colorado startup called SolidFire. "I can give oodles of performance to hundreds of thousands of virtual machines, without having to worry about the physical limitations of other storage," says Calligo founder and CEO Julian Box.
According to research analyst Jim Handy, the market for this sort of storage device is also on the rise. Separate from the market for serial ATA drives, sales of devices that connect to servers in other ways topped 38,000 units in 2011 and $581 million in revenues. He expects this will grow to 77,000 units and $902 million this year.
Flash in the Heavens
In using a cloud service like Calligo, you can benefit from SSDs without actually installing your own. And Calligo isn't your only option. Amazon — whose cloud service is now running an estimated one percent of the internet — is using SSDs to underpin its new DynamoDB online database, and Microsoft using them to on the latest incarnation of Microsoft Azure, unveiled just last week.
Amazon says it's using only SSDs with DynamoDB, but hard drives still under pin its other services. And in similar fashion, Microsoft tells us that it's using both SSDs and spinning disks inside its Azure data centers. In other words, they're doing what a lot of people are doing.
Artur Bergman laments that SSDs aren't more widely used in the proverbial cloud.

David W Davis Memorial Internship
David W. Davis was the longest-serving Executive Director in the 53-year history of the Massachusetts Port Authority, leading Massport from 1975 until 1990.
During his tenure Davis more than quadrupled Massport's gross revenues, raised Massport's credit rating to one of the highest in airport industry, rebuilt Massport's passenger and cargo terminals, and created a small business export program that became a national model. Helping to build a new Boston, Davis created a $500 million development program in partnership with private developers to reuse various waterfront properties.
Demonstrating a commitment to Massport's neighbors as well as to its customers, Davis developed one of the very first residential soundproofing programs in the country as well as a path-breaking peak hour pricing program that Massport later adopted to ease airport congestion. "Kidport" was another airport industry first that Davis unveiled at Boston Logan International Airport in 1987 as the nation's first airport-based children's play area. It was also under Davis's leadership that Massport established its own employee retirement system, which Davis later joined when Massport's employees elected Davis to be their representative on the retirement board in 1996.
See criteria and submission information for the David W. Davis Memorial Internship. Please contact Alaina Coppola in Massport's Community Relations Department at (617) 568-3711 with any questions.

I am at school today so will be posting sporadically. OK! Magazine wrote up a little article that includes hints at song choices. I don't consider it a spoiler because there wasn't nearly enough information to figure out which songs the contestants chose but they did let you know who picked a ballad or more uptempo song.

Colin Heacock, Attack, Boys' Latin (Md.) - Heacock racked up eight points through Boys' Latin's first two games of the season.

Anderson's points were split between eight goals and two assists, including the eventual game-winning goal.

Your first 'hello' can make or break a job search
As employers try to whittle down what can be hundreds of applicants vying for one job, they're turning more to phone interviews to screen candidates and streamline the process.
Unfortunately, some applicants are not taking these contacts via phone as seriously as they should, wrecking their job chances with the first "hello," a phone interview expert says.
"People are answering the phone with a 'Hey, how ya doin'?' and crazy music playing in the background," Paul J. Bailo says. "What kind of message is this?"
Not the right one, says Bailo, founder and chief executive of Phone Interview Pro.
He contends that any phone contact is a way to build a relationship and never should be taken lightly.
"In a job search, everything you do or say matters," he says.
After research of what employers like and don't like in phone conversations, Bailo has developed advice that he believes will make the best impression and help you score a job. He advises job seekers to:
• Ditch the cellphone. Dropped calls, weird noises, feedback and a host of other problems mean you always should talk to employers on a land line.
If you don't have one, invest in one for your job search, he says.
Also, don't use a headset, which often can make it difficult for an interviewer to hear you clearly. If an employer calls, let your cellphone voice mail pick up, then call back on a land line.
• Don't multitask. When talking to an employer, don't tap away on your keyboard, fiddle with a pen or wash dishes.
An interviewer can pick up any of those sounds, and your tone will convey your distraction. Make sure it's clear that the conversation is your priority.
• Make a great first impression. The first 15 seconds can make or break a phone conversation, Bailo says.
Don't answer on the first ring. Let it go two or three rings before answering with a professional "Hello." Never say "Hi," which sounds too casual, or just state your name, which seems unfriendly.
• Be prepared. If you know an interviewer is going to call, make sure you've done your homework on the company and the interviewer.
Read the day's headlines so you're prepared to talk about current events if they're brought up. Have a cough drop or glass of water nearby in case you need them. While it should go without saying, Bailo says many people forget to visit the restroom before a phone interview, so he advises taking care of such personal needs beforehand.
• Shut out distractions. Get a babysitter for your children, post a sign on the door to not ring the doorbell and lock the dog out of the room.
You want quiet so you can concentrate and the interviewer isn't distracted with the sound of a howling child.
• Don't be too eager. When an interviewer asks to set up a time for a phone chat, don't jump at the first time offered, Bailo says.
"Tell the person you're not available then, but then give another time the next day. This shows you're in demand with other things. Remember, people like things they can't have," he says.
At the same time, he advises not answering the phone but letting voice mail pick up if an interviewer calls more than 15 minutes late. You then can call the interviewer to reschedule.
• Have a checklist. Make sure that throughout the interview you say things like "I am very excited about this position" or "I would be happy to be part of your organization," he says.
This eliminates any confusion that can come from not having a face-to-face conversation.
For more information on phone interviews, check out Bailo's book, The Essential Phone Interview Handbook (Career Press, $13.99).

I'm been thinking of taking an online TEFL course and I've narrowed it down to TEFL Online and American TESOL Institute.
TEFLOnline.com (Bridge TEFL) is offered by Bridge Linguatec, which is accredited by ACCET and University of Cambridge. The online program itself however, is only accredited by ACCET.
American TESOL Institute offers an actual certificate for completion, plus guaranteed job placement.
Does anyone have any experience with either one? They don't seem to be on the Blacklist, so I guess they're okay :/

South Sudan Conflict Narrative
May 2, 2014
The country of Sudan (which gained independence from Britain and Egypt in 1956) was wracked by two civil wars spanning 1955 to 2005, where Southerners were fighting for a secular government (end to sharia law), and the right to self-determination. The 2005 peace agreement was brokered with the help of the US, UK, and Norway. A regional government of Southern Sudan was formed following the 2005 peace agreement, which became the Republic of South Sudan after the referendum, where 99% voted in favor of independence in 2011.
The north still retains the name The Republic of Sudan. It is lead by a fundamentalist Islamist government that persecutes the Episcopal Church, and other Christians. Sudan has been embroiled in internal conflicts since fighting began in Darfur in 2003. Since June of 2011 the government of Sudan is in active combat with rebels, and against civilians in all of its states which border South Sudan (Darfur, South Kordofan, Blue Nile), where people are also fighting for self-determination. More than 400,000 people have been displaced by that conflict, many of them sheltering in the regions of South Sudan now in conflict.
The Government of South Sudan faced many challenges starting up: the ability of the government to enact and enforce laws, charges of corruption and mismanagement, as well as small rebel groups and bandits including the LRA, engaging in conflict. President Kiir dismissed his Vice President and ministers in July 2013, showing division in the ruling party. This divide between the President and Vice President boiled over into violence on December 15, 2013, when a disagreement broke out amongst soldiers in the capitol, Juba, which quickly spread through the military in Juba. Some of the killing that went on was along tribal lines, and quickly spread to regions outside the capitol.
The conflict has been going on for five months now. Several different rebel groups are fighting against the Government of South Sudan for control of rural areas and key cities. There is evidence that Sudan is arming these rebels to de-stabilize the South. The state capitols of Bor, Malakal, and Bentiu have switched hands several times and suffered terrible destruction and massacre. Tens of thousands have been killed. 1.2 million people have been displaced. There are 4.9 million people in dire need of humanitarian assistance, and because the conflict is increasing during the planting season, there is real danger or widespread famine affecting 7 million people.
The Episcopal Church of Sudan and South Sudan, remains a united member church of the Anglican Communion, with 31 dioceses, and over 2 million members. ECSSS as well as the Sudan Council of Churches were an instrumental part of bringing about the peace agreement in 2005. The church is one of the only credible institutions left standing during this conflict. Already ECSSS has played a role in the relief effort, bringing life-saving assistance to tens of thousands of displaced people, as well as offering them a place to shelter. The church is planning an ambitious peace program, and needs the support of partners around the world to fund their work, and support them in advocacy. If the church is going to play the crucial role in changing the culture of war into one of peace in South Sudan, it must be adequately funded to do so.

Hi all, My names Steve, and am a Star Wars fan. If I wasn't i would not be here I bet your thinking!
Am 21 and always been into Star Wars as far as I can remember. I got alot of figers, ships and just about everything else. Now the one thing about Star Wars that has always stuck out for me is "Boba Fett" Yes the big man himself. So my girlfriend is going to buy me a Boba Fett helmet for Christmas! Yay She left it up to me to find one I like and she will buy it. Now that started it all off for me. My big plan is to get the whole suit. Now buying a suit all painted and ready would be nice but it would be no fun. So painting and building in my future I see.

The little things cadillac could and should have done
Ok- I will start off by saying that I love how my 2013 awd coupe rides and overall am very happy with the car (except the paint). This is a list of minor things cadillac imo should have done to make the car almost perfect.
1-power folding mirrors when you shut the car off-if kia can have them cadillac definitely should. Ok so I just get out of the car and fold the mirrors in-really at $50k?
2-lighting for the shifter on the console-I find looking down at my shifter in the dark and not seeing the prnd illuminated is weird Ok-so now I learn to look at the dash, but it's dumb.
3-real fog lamps-there is virtually no difference between the fog lights being on and off in terms of seeing the road better. I guess they are more for looks and to make you feel as if you got something for paying the extra for that option package.
4-a rear back up camera that has yellow directional lines to direct you in reverse. This is the only back up camera I have seen with no guidance lines. I have nearly crashed my rear quarter twice because I couldn't judge the distance of objects in back and to the sides. I rely now on the mirrors.
5-dual zone heating and cooling with dual blower fan settings as well as dual temp. controls. I find it annoying when my wife wants the heat set on 80 degrees or more on high fan and I have to have my temp set at 60 and am stuck with the same fan setting. And yes -she will win this argument every time.
6-an instruction manual for loading music into the hard drive that actually does what the directions state they should. Guess the person who wrote the instructions for the manual never talked to the person who made the hard drive to find out how it would work.
Ok- now before you all tell me to just enjoy the car for what it is- I do and I may even buy the car after my lease is up. But these are my opinions on what cadillac should have done with the car and maybe it will make the next gen that much better.

Re: The little things cadillac could and should have done
Interesting comments.
My thoughts
1. I have never folded in a mirror or found a need to. I think it's a gimmick.
2. Is the gear shift positions on the dash? I tend to not look at either, it's just a feel position, guess from driving straight shifts all my life.
3. I will give you that one, I lowered the angle a little and that seems to help but still poor compared to say my GMC truck.
4. I have yellow guide lines but I find the whole experience odd I favor the outside mirrors and when I get close to stopping I look at camera. I tend to feel if you are watching the camera your forgetting what the front/sides of the car is doing.
5. I can see that. Does anyone offer that level of independent control.
6. No experience
Again my opinions.
Re: The little things cadillac could and should have done
I am happy to hear that you are overall very happy with your CTS! Thank you for your input concerning some of your opinions that would have made the vehicle better. I will document them for you and make sure that they are passed on to the correct group. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your vehicle, feel free to message us privately so we can look into the situation for you. Thank you very much for your time and enjoy your CTS!

Re: The little things cadillac could and should have done
I'd have to agree with most of what rspreng said, but would add a couple additional observations. It would be nice if the mirrors folded downwards when backing up. It's nice to avoid curb rash and just generally how close you are to your surroundings. I would also note that I followed the directions and have put 30gb of music on my HDD. Admittedly, it was slow by putting in 200 CDs of music but it got the job done. While a thumb drive would have been much faster, I never could find a way to organize it the way I like. Don't know of a car that has separate fans. I'm sure they exist but I'm also sure the price would be high. And I also have yellow lines in my backup camera so I'm not sure what is going on in your car.
A couple other things since suggestions are being offered. Steering wheel that automatically goes to the highest position when turning the car off for easy exit and then automatically back to its position after turning the vehicle on. One touch rear seat entry (for the coupes this should be a must). Simpler layout for the steering wheel buttons i.e., less of them with possible dials or levers. I've had my car for nearly 1.5 years now and I still have to look down at the steering wheel to make sure I have the right button. It should be able to be done by feel alone so that one doesn't have to take your eyes off the road. Cupholders in the doors should be an inexpensive fix. And the last thing I can think of is those damn trunk arms. To me, and only IMHO, not having hidden trunk arms is what makes the CTS looks cheap. Not raggin. The CTS is still the best car out there for the money, but NO CAR is 100% perfect. I can live with 98% perfect and be VERY happy.

2. Thought that too initially, but really don't miss it.
3. Agree that the fogs are worthless. I never use them.
4. Meh. Our X5 has the lines along with the birds eye view with the cameras around the car. I don't really miss the guide lines when getting out of the X5 and going into the CTs, but I do like the bird's eye view.
6. I didn't have an issue

Re: The little things cadillac could and should have done
Never had a problem noticing the fog lights being on and providing better visibility even before the higher lumens phillips vision plus were put in my car.
All of the other stuff doesn't bother me it only takes me 2 seconds to fold the mirror in lol
For me the biggest detractor is the silver plastic on the center console looks tacky as hell but the new CTS has more material wrapping on it so it looks like they addressed it.
Except I hate seeing all of the finger prints in the new glossy black plastic that Gm is using on the ATS & 2014 CTS center consoles.

Agree about the one touch access for the back
Re: The little things cadillac could and should have done
Now for me would be the lack of usuable cubby holes and just general cabin storage. Oh and the creaky seats...

Re: The little things cadillac could and should have done
I for the life of me figure out wht they used those hinges on the trunk and not the pistons the sedan has. When I first got the car I had to go away, (I had the sedan prior to this car), loaded up the trunk and couldn't close it. Had to take everything out and reposition it. It was ridiculous how little usable room there actually was because of those hinges.
The front seats should have a quick forward position for access to the back seat.
I had a STS and you could set the seat and steering wheel exit position to exactly where you wanted it. When I got the sedan I was suprised that they went to the one position only exit position. Why go backwards with technology? In the sedan I actually had to turn the exit feature off because it was more uncomfortable getting out from the exit position than the driving position. In my coupe at least I can use it but it's not where I would prefer it. It just irritates me that they had it perfect and screwed it up.
As far as backing up, I notice a lot of cars have sensors on the side of the bumpers to catch cars approaching better.
So,HGK2, thats my 2 cents worth on your post. Some people might say we're nitpicking but you're right, if you say something maybe things can change for the better. Sometimes a person can be on the fence about 2 cars and a few of the little things decide the car they pick.
The gearshift should be lit up more. I think that there is a light in the roof that shines on it but if there is it doesn't do a very good job. On the plus side of that though I do like the gear you're in showing in the DIC so when I'm shifting manually I don't have to take my eyes away fron the windshield for long.

Freshmen post pair of third-place finishes. USC fourth overall.
No. 5 USC Set To Defend Conference Crown At Pac-12 Championships
Action set for Wednesday to Saturday; men's diving championships to be held concurrently with women's meet.
THIS SEASON: Olympian, World Championship gold medalist, three-time NCAA title winner and 13-time All-American Katinka Hosszu, a 2012 senior co-captain from Hungary, is one of the most versatile swimmers in the NCAA and a threat to win any race she's in. A four-time Pac-10 champion, she owns USC records in the 200y/scm IM, 200y/scm fly, 400y IM, 200y free and in three relays ... Weeks before her senior year started, she competed at the 2011 World Championships, where she finished sixth in the 200m IM (2:11.24), 15th in the 400m IM (4:42.96), 19th in the 200m fly (2:10.06) and was on Hungary's 800m free relay.
2011: Hosszu had one of the finest seasons in school history as a 2011 junior, winning three NCAA and Pac-10 titles en route to earning the Honda Sports Award for swimming as the nation's top women's swimmer ... She won NCAA titles in the 200y IM (1:53.39), 400y IM (3:59.75) and the 200y fly (1:51.69) and was a slam dunk as NCAA Swimmer of the Meet ... Just the second Trojan woman to win three NCAA titles in one year (Kristine Quance did it in 1994 and 1996), she became just the second woman to go under four minutes during her 400y IM title swim while her winning time in the 200y IM was also a school record. Hosszu, Troy's first-ever 200y fly winner, also earned All-American honors as part of USC's second-place 400y medley relay and eighth-place 800y free relay ... A three-time Pac-10 winner in the same events as a the NCAAs (she was named Pac-10 Swimmer of the Meet), Hosszu's season was so strong that she was nominated for ESPN's ESPY Awards for Best Female College Athlete. Her Pac-10 wins in the 200y IM (1:53.53), 400y IM (4:00.04) and the 200y fly (1:51.85) made her the first Trojan to win three Pac-10 titles in the same year since Kaitlin Sandeno and Blythe Hartley did it in 2003 ... She was a three-time champion at the 2010 U.S. Short Course Nationals in the 200y and 400y IM and the 200y fly and helped USC to relay wins in the 400y medley and 800y free. That effort was good enough to earn Counsilman-Hunsaker National Collegiate Division I Swimmer-of-the-Week honors ... At the 2010 Short Course World Championships, she was fourth in both the 200m fly (2:04.56) and the 200m IM (2:06.88).
2010: Hosszu was a four-time All-American as a 2010 sophomore, finishing second at the NCAA Championships in the 200y fly (1:52.52) and third in the 400y IM (4:03.65) ... Her time in the 200y fly broke Sandeno's school record. Hosszu anchored USC's sixth-place 400y medley relay and led off USC's seventh-place 800y free relay. She also won the consolation final of the 500y free (4:38.94) ... At the 2010 Pac-10 Championships, she won her first Pac-10 crown, claiming the 200y fly in 1:52.71 (USC's first win in the race since 2004). Hosszu also anchored USC's Pac-10 title-winning and school-record setting 800y free relay. Additionally, she was second in the 200y IM in a then-school-record 1:55.49 and second in the 400y IM (4:04.86), giving her six top 3 finishes in as many events in two years at the Pac-10s ... She was named the 2009 Hungarian Female Athlete of the Year in December ... She posted four top 3 performances at the 2009 U.S. Short Course National Championships in December, including a title in the 200y fly. Her other top three marks came in the 200y and 400y IM and the 500y free ... She won two gold medals at the 2010 European Short Course Championships in front of hometown fans in Budapest, Hungary. She won titles in the 200m fly and the 200m IM and claimed a silver in the 400m IM. She also won gold as part of Hungary's 4x200m relay team.
2009: Hosszu became an immediate force for the Trojans and one of the top swimmers in the Pac-10 and the NCAAs as a 2009 freshman ... At the 2009 NCAA Championships, she was a three-time finalist and a four-time All-American after finishing eighth in the 500y free (4:40.20) second in the 400y IM (4:01.49, USC record) and third in the 200y fly (1:53.45) while helping USC to third in the 400y medley relay (prelim time of 3:30.59 was a school record) ... At the 2009 Pac-10 Championships, she posted three top 3 finishes, was part of one relay title and set two individual records and two relay records ... She was second in the 400y IM (4:03.60, a then-school record) and was third in both the 500y free (4:39.34) and the 200y fly (1:54.01). She also led off USC's record-setting 800y free relay (7:07.59), her first 200 yards (1:45.22) of the race eclipsing a 25-year-old school record ... Swimming the fly leg, she helped USC's 400y medley relay capture a Pac-10 Championship in a then-school-record 3:31.75 ... Competing for Hungary at the 2009 World Championships, Hosszu won a gold medal in the 400m IM (4:30.31) and earned bronze medals in the 200m IM (2:07.46)and the 200m fly (2:04.28). Both times in the IM were the third-fastest in history. Hosszu also swam the anchor leg of Hungary's 4x200m free relay in the final, which finished sixth ... Hosszu was named Hungary's 2009 Female Athlete of the Year.
HIGH SCHOOL: An eight-year Hungarian National team member, Hosszu raced in two events at the 2008 Olympics, taking 12th in the 400m IM and 17th in the 200m IM. She was also a 2004 Olympian, finishing 31st in the 200m free ... She was a silver medalist in the 400m IM (4:37.43) at the 2008 European Championships and took sixth in the 200m IM (2:15.23) ... At the 2007 European Short Course World Championships, she was fourth in the 200m IM (2:09.99) and fifth in the 400m IM (4:32.10) ...

The murdered women are prostitutes - except the most recent victim; a brilliant young musician from the East Coast, employed by a wealthy family to tutor a musical prodigy, Selena Bass seems out of place in the marsh's grim tableau.
Conveniently - perhaps ominously - Selena's blueblood employers are nowhere to be found, and their estate's jittery caretaker raises hackles. But Milo's instincts and Alex's insight are too well-honed to settle for easy answers, even given the dark secrets in this troubled man's past. Their investigation unearths disturbing layers - about victims, potential victims, and suspects alike - plunging even deeper into the murky marsh's enigmatic depths.
Bizarre details of the crimes suggest a devilish serial killer prowling L.A.'s gritty streets. But when a new murder deviates from the pattern, derailing a possible profile, Alex and Milo must look beyond the suspicion of madness and consider an even more sinister mind at work. Answers don't come easy, but the darkest of drives and desires may fuel the most devious of foes.
Bones is classic Kellerman - relentlessly peeling back the skin and psyches of its characters and revealing the shadows and sins of the souls beneath. With jolt after jolt of galvanizing suspense, it drives the reader through its twists and turns toward a climax as satisfying as it is shattering.
Psyched? Listen to all of Jonathan Kellerman's Dr. Alex Delaware thrillers.
©2008 Jonathan Kellerman; (P)2008 Random House
"The comfortable banter that has helped make Delaware and Sturgis such durable crime-story heroes is as rapid-fire, keen, and wryly funny as ever, and the mystery they aim to solve is certainly not routine." (Booklist)
Tell us about yourself! I practice criminal law. Love books like everyone who uses this site.
"Deja Vue"
In this novel, Mr. Kellerman reworks the plot of one of his most recent novels. The original is better.
Mr. Kellerman is a favorite writer of mine. There is little he's written that I haven't read, so I don't make these statements lightly. What has happened to our best mystery/thriller writers?
"Vulgarity is a sure sign of a dim imagination"
Mr Kellerman proves the point very well that "People with a limited imagination often find themselves resorting to vulgarity". I can't tell you whether the plot ever got anywhere because the first 20 minutes was a combination of confused plot jumps and language that would make a sailor blush. Having grown up in New York and spending three years in the Army, I am no prude. I have heard and used my fair share of salty language. But the way the author used it in this book only served to ruin the content. It was so bad I simply quit listening altogether. Too bad because I have heard he does decent stuff but I won't waste my time on him again.
Jonathon Kellerman is one of my favorite authors and I was interested in this book because of the location--the marsh, protected land, etc. It was just okay--I still love, Milo, Alex, Robin and Blanche, but this story needed more....something....it was lacking somehow and very predictable. Maybe I have read too many of his books (all of them, in fact), so I can predict the endings. It was an okay read...just not great. I look forward to the next one in the anticipation that it will deliver the usual Kellerman twists and turns.
Book Lover
"Still a good writer"
I have read all of his books. This one was not as scary as some others but all in all a good listen. At first, was hard to tell one character from another. But got better as the book unfolded.
Lehua of Pacifica
"Deliciously spooky"
I love it when they take something sweet and charming and reveal it as macabre. In this case, it's a lovely little wetlands-restoration. As the book progresses, the premise gets less and less believable, but it remains fun due to the author's always-wonderful ensemble. Milo, in particular, really shines in this one, and displays his ongoing evolution.
AUDIO: Better than most.
"Kellerman Always worth listening too!"
Both of the Kellerman's are wonderful writers. This lastest by Jonathan is in the tradition of all his Alex and Milo mysteries. Good story and worth reading or listening too.
"Not the best Alex Delaware."
Disappointing. Story hard to follow. Too many characters. lost interest. not sure ill listen to any more Kellerman for awhile.
"I am enjoying reading all the Alex Delaware books in order."
The books as a whole are well constructed . I listen to all of them and lover the reader who is the same for all. Over all I really enjoy the books I recommend the books to anyone who like reading series and likes a good detective story.
"always great read"
liked it and rhe choice of reader makes it work. will follow up with next book rigb t away.
Thanks audible I love this way of "listening to good books and great authors."
"Waste Of My Money"
I would try other books by this author. I do not know about the performance. Why does he think that this narration has to be as a tough guy. I could not get past the sarcasm in his voice and the hard ass impression. Tried to listen to this book twice and just could not get past a few chapters.
Not sure. The tone and impression is so very important. I do not know if he was trying to be a tough guy, gum shoe or what. Just a big turn off.
I did not finish the book. I will need to read the book for a third try.

Baby Gates Responsible for Almost 2000 ER Visits
You install baby gates to keep your little one from falling down stairs or away from areas in the house that are not baby-proofed. But baby gates do not always prove to be safe. In fact, the number of children treated in emergency rooms for injuries related to baby gates has quadrupled since 1990.
A new study, conducted by researchers in the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital, has found gates can lead to injury if used incorrectly.
From 1990 through 2010, ERs treated an estimated 37,673 children under the age of seven for baby gate –related injuries.
The study used data obtained from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), which is operated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The researchers found that more than 60 percent of the children injured were younger than two years old, and they were most often injured by falls down stairs after a gate collapsed or when it was left open. Injuries caused by these accidents lead to soft tissue injuries, such as sprains and strains, and traumatic brain injuries, said the researchers.
Cuts were the main injury for 2 to 6 years-olds from climbing on the gate.
The most common injuries were bumps, bruises, cuts and lacerations. However, over 16 percent were traumatic brain injuries, Lara McKenzie, Ph.D., the senior and corresponding author and associate professor of Pediatrics, Center for Injury Research and Policy at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, told Healthline.
McKenzie offered this advice to parents, "Gates are a common, if not essential, safety device in homes to prevent young children from potentially hazardous stairways, and to limit access to restricted areas — for example, the kitchen when you are cooking. Current recommendations suggest that gates be installed in stairways and between rooms in homes with children between six months and two years of age, or until the child has learned how to open the gate or when the child is able to climb over the gate."
Parents are not the only ones that need to be aware of these guidelines. Grandparents and caregivers should also know about the recommendations.
"When your grandkids come to visit, it is essential to have the correct types of gates in place to keep your grandkids safe in your home. You can be strategic in limiting children's access to dangerous areas by installing gates at the top and bottom of stairs and between rooms. Also, do not use the old accordion-style gates. The sale of these gates was banned because of the risk of strangulation. Make sure any gates you use meet current safety guidelines," said McKenzie.
The researchers offered these baby gate safety tips:
- Use hardware-mounted baby gates at the top of stairways.
- Gates that only press against walls, called pressure-mounted gates, are not secure enough to prevent falls.
- Install gates in homes with children between six months and two years of age.
- If possible, remove the gates when the child turns two, or when the child has learned to open the gate or climb over it.
- If you can't remove a gate because of other children in the home, use a gate without notches or gaps that could be used for climbing.
The study was published in Academic Pediatrics.

Recently, I had a discussion with my colleague Andrew McInnes about the role market insights (MI) can play for customer experience departments, and why so many customer experience (CX) teams are doing research themselves instead of collaborating with their MI counterparts. In this talk we came up with the term "shadow MI."
Shadow MI: research commissioned or executed OUTSIDE of the MI department. It applies to all research done by a person or group inside the company without the approval or involvement of market insights.
Shadow MI is not good for the company or MI stakeholders. Key risks in shadow MI include:
