Cosy liner that keeps him dry Review by Kristen
Price Value Quality We always use liners in our diapers to help with clean up since 'dad' is not interested in swishing or showering our cloth diapers. We use disposables liners a lot of the time. I prefer to use these for overnight, long naps, or any time he will be sitting around in his diaper for an extended period of time. They really do help to keep the moisture off his skin, and cut down on the redness that we're often fighting on his bum. (Posted on 7/13/10)

A great liner Review by Morag
Price Value Quality We use these liners with our prefold diapers. They wick the moisture away wonderfully and keep our son dry which means he can go the whole night without waking due to a wet diaper. These would be even better if they were the same length as the prefold. (Posted on 12/31/10)
Love these liners! Review by Amanda
Price Value Quality Love these liners - I find them so soft, they wash really well with no pilling. I also find that they pull the moisture away from my little guy's skin quite well. (Posted on 1/1/11)
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Use these all the time, so soft and they keep his bum dry. Review by Miranda
Price Value Quality I love using these. After a while my diapers get a little hard after line drying and one of these thrown on top keeps it soft against his bottom. It also keeps him feeling dry so I don't have to change him after every pee. I do wish they were a little longer though. (Posted on 6/12/10)
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
A pretty good liner for being from a store. Review by Mariko
Price Value Quality I use these liners for my daughter, they wick the moisture away so there is less irritation. She has very sensitive skin so I still have to change her after every pee. The main reason I use them is too protect the diaper from her going number 2. I breast feed her but I plan on using these cloth diapers for our second child, as well, and want to keep them in the best condition as possible. Unless you are trying to keep the bulge of the diapers down then this is a good choice. (Posted on 7/3/10)
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Good for long car trips Review by Barbara
Price Value Quality I normally would not have bought these, but they were included in the Bummis kit, so we gave them a try. I like that they are made from recycled materiel. I have found that my son's skin seems to react to polyester, so we don't use them much any more.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
We only use them for long car trips, when we might go a longer stretch between diaper changes, but he can't be overnight in them without getting a rash. (Posted on 1/1/11)

Consumer Reviews of GIBSON heat pumps
It's free, fast and safe
Read more about GIBSON heat pumps
Read reviews of other Heat Pump brands
Location: Alabama
Satisfaction Rating:
My gas heat/ac is barely a year old. I set the temp on 76 - part of the house is 76 and part is 80+. When the unit cuts on, it's very loud and when it cuts off sounds like you threw a hand full of wrenches in it. The best part the guy I bought it from can't be found - he turned his phone off. I tried to contact him through his Mom and he never called back. I need it checked or repaired. His friend (my remodeler) insisted on buying from him saying it was one of the best units, etc. I had a Trane but was too small for the addition I had put on to the house. The Trane was not this loud. With the Gibson, the house is either too cold or too hot. Not happy in Alabama.
Location: Omaha, Nebraska
Years owned: 5
Satisfaction Rating:
"Not Too Pleased"
Live in Omaha, NE. First experience with a heat pump. Had this unit for 4 years. Unit was very quiet and I was pretty satisfied. I noticed this Spring that the unit was running but not cooling. Guess what it is, a bad compressor. Same story as most everyone else here. The thing is, I have emergency electric heat for this unit on the inside so this probably went out during the winter and I did not notice. I am not happy. The installer was my brother who has over 25 yrs experience doing these and he was surprised about the failure. Friends at distributor recommended this unit too. Guess, I should have googled for reviews rather than listen to friends in the industry.
Location: Central Texas
Years owned: 1
Satisfaction Rating:
"Can't deal with the cold"
Just had heat pump installed to replace a 10 year old model that died. This unit stops providing heat when the temp falls below 30 degrees. Thankfully my home has '92 Ruud workhorses that allowed us to stay warm. Want to replace another Ruud unit with an energy efficient model, don't think it will be another Gibson. The jury is still out on how this Gibson will deal with the Central Texas summer.
Location: Columbia, SC
Years owned: 7
Satisfaction Rating:
"Why Gibson lost a customer and what he will tell his friends."
It is July 31st. In Columbia, South Carolina, where I live, the temperature is ninety five degrees. My Gibson heat pump stopped cooling yesterday. The coils were covered in a solid block of ice and I was told that there was a leak and the coil would have to be replaced. Today I was told that the part was not going to be available for four weeks. Four weeks in August in South Carolina. What do you think all of my friends will hear about Gibson from me?

State shifts broadband responsibilityThe Associated Press | January 23,2013MONTPELIER A decision to fold a state office dedicated to expanding broadband Internet services to the most remote parts of Vermont into the Agency of Commerce and Community Development was made after the head of the office decided to take a job with one of the states telecommunications companies, the head of that agency said Tuesday.
Commerce Secretary Lawrence Miller said the decision to have his agency assume the duties of Connect Vermont would likely have taken place anyway, but it didnt make sense to hire another person to lead the office after Karen Marshall decided to go to work for the data network of the Springfield-based telecommunications company known as VTel.
When the administration looked at the status of all the projects, so much is on track, refilling Karens position just didnt make sense, Miller said Tuesday. It would have come over to us in time. This isnt a snap judgment.
Miller said it made the most sense for his agency to assume the duties off Connect Vermont and his office will track progress and assist providers as they continue to bring broadband service to every corner of the state.
Gov. Peter Shumlin has committed the state to expanding broadband coverage to every corner of Vermont by the end of this year, and making that happen had been the responsibility of Connect Vermont. Hes also pushing for the expansion of mobile communications but has said it would be possible to cover the entire state by the end of the year.
Commerce Agency Senior Project Manager Kiersten Bourgeois will become responsible for the broadband expansion.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Ask Peter Shumlin to track the origins of his fiscal policy, and hell tell you...

Mia Carpenter: "... what a wonderful thing drawing is."
Mia writes, "I studied at Art Center College of Design with Jack Potter, one of the greats of 1950s - '60s illustration. He taught fashion illustration and was a great influence. He so excited his students about his subject and made it possible for us to experience what a wonderful thing drawing is."
"The Impressionist painters were working their way into the public interest in the arts. My first art books were of their work and later the work of Bonnard, Vuillard, and Matisse."
"Graduated from Art Center College of Design 1956, married a month later to an ACCD design major. Moved to New York that August and continued to work and live there for the next 11 years. In NY there was an endless list of influences... Robert Weaver, Lorraine Fox, the fashion illustrators Eric (Carl Erikson), Sylvia Braverman, Evaline Ness, too many to list. As for illustrators that were personal friends... my closest friend was Miyo Endo who did a lot of work for Redbook. Robert Quackenbush was a buddy from AC who went on to be a noted children's book illustrator."
"My artist's representative was Joan Chasson who I could not have done without. Sarah Reader was my model for most years in Manhattan. I did a lot of work relating to kids. She could model for ages over 10 yrs. to the most sophisticated women with her slim agile body and ability to hold a pose. We did do photo reference but mainly did drawing from the live model for fashion as well as other kinds of illustration."
"Sometimes the drawings done directly from the model suficed as finished work. Sometimes, especially with story illustration, using tempera and acrylic painting and pastel work, I would start with drawings from the model sketches or from photos and always drew environments, perspectives, accessories etc. from reference. With the painted and pastel work I would incorporate the sketches and backgrounds and transfer them to board of some kind and then finish with the appropriate medium."
"Moved to Paris for 1 1/2 years where I cared for our daughter and John Hoernle, my ex husband, worked with a friend to start a small ad agency. We moved from Paris to Los Angeles and I have continued living and working in this city. I first worked in retail fashion illust. as I also had done in NY and when the bottom fell out of that field... started doing sketching for entertainment ad agencies."
"During the years of doing entertainment sketching it was often vital to draw from memory because of the deadlines. I grew to appreciate that approach having to constantly examine and trust what I thought I knew and could reproduce visually. "
"I have been very fortunate in my career to have worked steadily from the early NY days to retirement (around 2004), moving from LA to NY where illustration was flourishing in so many more areas than just story illustration. Every step in the almost 50 years of making a living that I loved involved really lucky timing. It goes without saying that being willing to work ceaselessly with difficult people and new challenges was a must while, in my case, being frightened of failure for more years than I'd like to admit."

These are wonderful, and so 'of the period'.
- Laurie said...
Wish you were able to publish some of her fashion drawings. I was fortunate enough to take a class with her back in the 80s when she was illustrating for...am I remembering correctly...May Co.? Anyway, she had the most curious approach to drawing a model. She would start on a blank page by drawing one eye, then the other, then the face and onto the figure. That's genius.

At ACCD Mia taught me how to simplify the lines and add life to my drawings. This is the first time I see any of her editorial works.

Another great post- as always! Thanks for the continuing education and inspiration.

The fear of failure".. I can relate to that! Maybe that's a good thing, though. It is a strong motivator, indeed. And, it's refreshing that Mia Carpenter, a very talented and successful illustrator, does not hesitate to mention her fear of failure. Norman Rockwell had a lifetime of insecurity and fear of failure, as an illustrator. Maybe even the seemingly extremely confident and boastful illustrators, had some nagging fear of failure, also.
I have not seen these samples of Mia Carpenter's work before. Wonderful color, and they have a charming unique quality. I admire her for continuing to find work, as it became harder and harder to find traditional illustration assignments. Bravo and much kudos!

Interesting that she studied with Jack Potter. I'd be curious to know more about her time taking classes with him.
Sounds like she had a great career. I'll have to look for her fashion drawings. - 6:36 PM

It is amazing how such a small investment can bring such a large return! If you decided to create three to four designs a day, it would probably only take you half a day. Working five days per week,

Bedrooms interior decorating are generally the ones on which the most money is spent. But getting a decent and good looking bedroom interior decorating is not all about money; it is the creativity of the designer which should focus on getting the bedroom interior decorating with the least number of things. And it also demands that most of the things are from ordinary walks of life and not overly extravagant or exquisite. Using plain shades or wallpapers along with designer ones in contrast is a fairly good idea. It would add a touch of styling at the same time keep it simple. Over bedroom interior decorating tends to create a sense of being congested as well as creates an uneasy feeling. Keeping places open, where one can walk around and using lighter colors and even lighter bedroom interior decorating is the best way to create that atmosphere in which one can unwind.

7-inch (Item 572008) Decca, 1968 — Condition: New Copy
The classic, classic CLASSIC theme song by that most beloved of late 60s American children's television – the fuzzy, colorful and endearing to this day Banana Splits!

2. This shows how far UofM has come in basketball in terms of how other teams view us.
Losing to a completely unathletic stale BBall team like that is horrible. The inability to foul at the end was inexcusable but it shouldnt even come to that. Play freaking ball and make layups...
I'm okay with the pope thing staying, but this I take offense to!
Touchdown Michigan!
Correction, this is the worst fucking thread so far today.
This is exactly why Youtube videos in opening posts shouldn't be able to embed.
I thought the attempt at dancing would bring joy after a sorrowful weekend
3-3-5 til the day I die y'all
Big win against the possible National Champs, you'd be jacked as well.
Nice marathon you guys had this weekend, too.
The Team, The Team, The Team
False. Rushing the court during a regular season game is bush league. Act like you've been there before, Wisconsin. You made yourselves look stupid.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
Err false what? If you watched the OPs video you would note that this is in the locker room. I am surprised no one made any cracks at the white kids dancing to Ke$ha. Haha.
Well, I didn't watch the video so sue me. I'm a very busy and important person and I only read portions of posts and try to make up the rest of the content based on what I want to say.
/saves face
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
why are you telling college students how to celebrate a win
actually who cares, no one is actually going to listen to you anyway.
You clearly did not read my comment above so I'll repeat. I'm a very important person and, as such, people obviously listen to me. My people just ran the numbers and they expect the amount of court-rushers to decrease by 56.6666% over the next five years just from my statement above.
(FYI - on message boards, people post thoughts and opinions. I don't think anyone here expects to really change how others operate on a day-to-day basis.)
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
still why are you against rushing the court after big wins
***Logical inconsistency detector at peak levels!***
Why be for it? What good comes from it? Getting to touch the court? Big deal. Getting to be near the players? Big deal? Getting to cheer and dance around with your friends? You can do the same thing in the stands. I just don't get the draw of it, and I've been to some pretty epic games in my lifetime. But I guess different strokes for different folks. That is, until people get hurt.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
It can be a dangerous pratice. I was actually a little worried for our players Saturday.
But why "during a regular season game?" I mean, if you don't during the regular season, when can you rush the court? During the Tournament made up of fans of other teams?
"I love him, he's a great coach, he's a great mentor, he's a great friend. He's every single thing you want a college coach to be, and he does it flawlessly." -David Molk
That language is superfluous but I used it in the hypothetical chance that it was possible to rush the court after a championship game. Of course, it'd probably never happen. But it might. Someday. Potentially. Hypothetically. But probably not.
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!
We lost, but then again, when people celebrate like that after beating Michigan, it means we are important again, would they have celebrated like this 3-5 years ago? Not saying I want to continue to see this happen, but just saying...GO BLUE!
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!
Ya I agree. I had to have a tiny glimmer of happiness when they rushed the court. They rushed the court for beating Michigan basketball. I mean before the inexorable upward march that followed the anurism of leadership wou would have ever thought that was possible?
"I just hope Tressel doesn't fire me"
-Gordon Gee
I normally shake off losses and do not let them affect my life. However, I still feel the sting from this one.
I am dreaming so I can pretty much say anything and get away with it. So, I think I'll say, from my heart, kiss my ass....Eddie Murphy
UM would celebrate that much if they were unranked and beat a top 5 Wisconsin team in OT at home.
that is not going to happen any time soon, since Wisconsin is allergic to top rankings
Even if we had beaten said team on our court 14 years & running? I hope not.
if you think the spartans won't do the same, you are kidding yourself.
and if you think that nick stauskas should act really reserved because the last time something happened was when daniel horton was on the team, you have forgetten 18.
Are they dancing to Beyonce?
"I recently heard from fans and friends that Michigan will be great again one day. In my opinion, Michigan never stopped being great." --Zac Ciullo
i didnt watch the video...and I dont wanna watch it either...
still not over the loss.
This board is a tire fire this morning. Someone make it stop.
Oh, I wanted salt in my wound and kicked in the dick again... All to go along with my Monday morning.
Edit: Just to be clear, that's salt into a dick wound, then kicked in aforementioned dick.
Levert leveret whatever his name is gave away 2 critical 3s why was he in the game at all
guys, if Wisconsin won by like 7 or 8, you wouldn't see this celebration. the celebration is mostly because they stole a win with a half court shot. you are placing too much emphasis on michigan here.
OP, did you wake up this morning and say, "I don't have any videos of dudes banging mgobloggers wives, so how can I be an piss off everyone today? I know, I'll post a video of Wisconsin celebrating their win against Michigan!!! That'll do it....Bwah ha ha ha ha."
"[The University of Michigan] was, in short, the testing ground for all my prejudices, my beliefs and my ignorance, and it helped to lay out the boundaries of my life."--Arthur Miller
Get over the loss. Time to BEAT STATE. I understand you live on every single Michigan Basketball game and Football game...but you should probably sack up. The guy banging MGoBloggers' wives sure did.
3-3-5 til the day I die y'all
I thought I was obviously kidding...I do give you points for the sacking up comment. That is funny.
"[The University of Michigan] was, in short, the testing ground for all my prejudices, my beliefs and my ignorance, and it helped to lay out the boundaries of my life."--Arthur Miller
The feeling of subjecting myself to this is probably how Russell Brand felt seeing Katy Perry's boobs last night.
to people who say that this doesnt matter ....this loss makes big ten championsip that much tougher....?
if this was not an imp game and we lost it in the same way ...i wud be ok.
we shud have fouled .....up by 3 with 2.4 secs left............................................
I am ashamed of how butthurt our fan base is...do any of you realize the biggest game of the season is TOMORROW? I understand Saturday sucked but all is not lost.
3-3-5 til the day I die y'all
at IU. The most important remaining road game of the season is tomorrow. And I think u need to give people some slack...to steal a road game in BIG this season against one of the top 5 teams in the league would have been huge. To lose, in OT, with some questionable calls...is tough. To know that u lost to a team that celebrates listening to Kesha...well that just plain wrong.
If we win out we win the BIG...Again, I know Saturday sucked but 3-4 losses were expected but if we take care of business at home and win tomorrow we should be OK
3-3-5 til the day I die y'all
You just contradicted yourself. If Michigan has to win out to win the B1G, how is the biggest game of the season tomorrow? Or are you going for the "every game is the biggest game of the season" route?
Disgruntled former moderator. I got a lot of problems with you people!

Health Information
Hot Flashes and Menopause
Topic Overview
A hot flash is a sudden sensation of intense body heat, often with profuse sweating and reddening of the head, neck, and chest. These symptoms can occur with mild to severe heart palpitations, anxiety, irritability and, rarely, panic. Hot flashes are the most common symptom of a woman's changing estrogen levels around the time of her last menstrual period (Reference menopause Opens New Window).
The biochemical cause of hot flashes is not well understood. Hot flashes are more common at night than during the day and are a common cause of sleep problems for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
While some women will never experience hot flashes, others begin having them in their 30s. Hot flashes are most frequent and intense during the first 2 years of Reference postmenopause Opens New Window, when estrogen levels have dropped below a certain point. Sleep patterns usually improve within 6 to 12 months after hot flashes begin.
Tips for managing hot flashes
- Dress in layers, so you can remove clothes as needed.
- Wear natural fabrics, such as cotton and silk.
- Keep the room temperature cool or use a fan. You're more likely to have a hot flash in a warm environment than in a cool one.
- Sleep with fewer blankets.
- Drink cold beverages rather than hot ones.
- Limit your intake of caffeine and alcohol.
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals to avoid the heat generated by digesting large amounts of food.
- Do not smoke.
- Use relaxation techniques, such as breathing-for-relaxation exercises or meditation, yoga, and biofeedback.
- Get regular physical exercise.

God Disciplines With The Flu? How 'Bout With Cancer?
Do you ever wonder if you're being punished by God when you're going through a tough time? Some people blow off the idea that God uses sicknesses and toil to punish us as "Christian Karma," others say those things are a byproduct of living in a fallen world, still others say that God straight out sends us those things to refine our character.
In our forum, mom4him addresses God's disciplinary methods in the thread, Punished By God? :
I visited a new church today. During the sermon on the Lord's Supper (I Corinthians 11:17-34), the preacher said that God would make us sick to discipline us. He said he didn't think illness was always a punishment from God, but that He does use it to discipline us. Do you think God uses illness to punish us? Or do you think He punishes us at all? If so, how?Do you agree with the preacher? How would you answer mom4him?

The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science
What could be more fun for kids than to have the kind of rip-roaring good time that harkens back to pre-video game, pre-computer days? Introducing 64 valuable science experiments that snap, crackle, pop, ooze, crash, boom, and stink! From Marshmallows on Steroids to Home-Made Lightning, the Sandwich Bag Bomb to Giant Air Cannon, The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science awakens kids' curiosity while demonstrating scientific principles like osmosis, air pressure, and Newton's Third Law of Motion.Kids will love performing these experiments, which use common household ingredients and equipment, in front of an audience or for themselves (though many require adult supervision). Entries are categorized into seven chapters according to scientific theme and are written in a simple-to-follow recipe format. each includes a detailed explanation of the scientific principle involved and a "Take Care!" section with special tips. The book's design and illustrations recall the pulp fiction look of science magazines from the days when space travel was still considered sci-fi, while the author's voice is wry and a bit conspiratorial. He assumes his readers are clever and never coddles them. Drop Mentos into a bottle of diet soda and stand back as a geyser erupts! Launch a rocket made from a film canister! Encase your little brother in a giant soap bubble! For young scientists—and the young at heart—this book is a blast. Literally.

Obama Budget Proposes Cuts in Social Security
Disappointment and anger were the responses of many in UE to the news that President Obama will proposed a federal budget that would cut Social Security and Medicare benefits.
Disappointment and anger were the responses of many in UE to the news that President Obama will proposed a federal budget that would cut Social Security and Medicare benefits.
The sequester. It's kind of a nonsensical name, and maybe it should be, because the policy now being called "sequestration" or "the sequester" makes no sense at all. It officially went into effect on Friday, March 1, and unless Congress agrees to do something different, it will mean indiscriminate across-the-board cuts in most federal programs, although Social Security, Medicaid, and a few other programs were exempted.
Pennsylvania may be the next battlefield in big business' war on the working class. Republican Governor Corbett -- his popularity at an all-time low -- and his allies in the state legislature may be about to ram through union-busting "right-to-work" (RTW) legislation.
Leaders and activists from UE Locals 1177 and1110, UE Western Region and Warehouse Workers for Justice (WWJ) protested outside the office of Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) in downtown Chicago on Monday, December 10, demanding that, in the so-called "Fiscal Cliff" negotiations, he oppose any cuts in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or other important social safety net programs and instead impose higher tax rates on the rich. They joined protestors organized by Stand Up Chicago, MoveOn.org, and Chicago Jobs with Justice in delivering postcards signed by over 5,000 individuals.
In response to the "fiscal cliff" negotiations between President Obama and Republicans in Congress, U.S. Labor Against the War (USLAW), of which UE is a member organization, is promoting a rational, people-first solution to the federal budget.
A group of progressive Senators and Representatives, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) held a press conference on Thursday, November 15 to call for protecting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in any deficit reduction deal. See a video clip of their press event here.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders appeared on MSNBC's The Ed Show with Ed Schultz on Nov. 8 to rally resistance to any fiscal deal that "balances the budget on the backs of the elderly, the sick and the poor." Sanders urged Pres. Obama to visit every one of the 50 states "no matter how conservative" and ask the people, "Do you really believe we should give tax breaks to billionaires and cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?"
Mitt Romney has been deliberately sketchy about what the federal budget will look like if he wins the election, but what we know about his plans is not good. Congressman Paul Ryan, Romney's running mate, has had a lot more to say about the budget, and it's even scarier.
When Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running mate, he not only aligned himself with the extremist budget proposals put forward over the past two years by Ryan and the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives. Romney also enlisted in the "War on Women" that many Republican politicians - including Ryan - have been waging.
Mitt Romney is urging employers to tell their workers how to vote. Labor journalist Mike Elk has reported on a June 6 conference call, which was posted on the website of the National Federation of Independent Business, in which Romney told his listeners that President Obama has been bad for business, and then added:

Country of residence of entrepreneur
Tell us about your personal background. Why are you passionate about this issue? Making an idea a reality takes innovation, dedication and strong leadership. Do you have the necessary entrepreneurial skills to realize your vision?
I've always been passionate about the environment and dedicated to pursuing a career in sustainability. Whilst I had never dreamt of running my own business, I absolutely love it.
I studied an MSc in Environmental Technology at Imperial College, London, with the aim of going into corporate environmental policy. But towards the end of this course I came up with a truly innovative idea that motivated 216 friends to start living more sustainably, and I couldn't let the idea die.
I had decided to take on the challenge of cycling from London to Morocco, and I was determined to use the opportunity to raise support for the cause I am passionate about: sustainability. However, I didn't like asking friends for money, and I knew that the environment needed people's action more than cash. Thus was born the concept of The DoNation.
I combined expertise from my MSc thesis on behaviour change and pledge schemes with practical and business skills, demonstrating innovation in conceiving the idea and overcoming the numerous hurdles that we've faced along the way. I have shown great dedication and passion not only in cycling from London to Morocco, but also through spending the last 2 1/2 years determinedly building The DoNation. I have developed and strengthened my leadership and entrepreneurial skills, as evidenced by the great 'Do' team and extensive support network that we've built up. The fact that we have not only survived, but managed to significantly grow as an organisation throughout a tough economic climate is further testament to this.
Since starting The DoNation in 2010, I have been named as one of the Future 100 social entrepreneurs, a Shell LiveWire Hot 40 Young Entrepreneur, and as Jaqueline Gold's 'Woman of the Week'. I have also been nominated as a fellow of the RSA and chosen as one of their first Social Enterprise Spotlight participants. Finally, I have been awarded a place on the UnLtd Futures program, offering invaluable training and development for game-changing social entrepreneurs.

Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
1 Behaviour change
If everyone in the world were to live like us, we'd need 3 planets; our lifestyles threaten environmental, social & financial wellbeing, yet mobilising behaviour change is notoriously tough. People are more effectively influenced by their friends than distant organisation's campaigns, but there are few tools to help people positively & proactively engage others.
2 Fundraising fatigue
In the UK, the model of fundraising for causes through sponsorship is hugely effective & popular, but people are getting tired of being asked for money.
3 Disconnection
By simply donating money to a charity, donors build no connection to the cause & their contribution is short lived. Cash isn't always the best solution, especially when behaviour change is at the root of the problem.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Our solution is to put a big twist on the traditional model of sponsorship by replacing cash with action, enabling people to actively & directly engage friends in living sustainably. Instead of asking people to donate money when you run a marathon (for example), through The DoNation you ask them to do something – a DoAction.
By making the site social & upbeat, building it on a model that people are already well accustomed to, we can reach far wider audiences than traditional campaigns. People raising sponsorship do the hard 'campaigning' and outreach for us – making it far more effective and low cost than if we were to do it ourselves.
We provide information & advice on each DoAction, but Doers make pledges to support a friend, not us. This personal connection means that 84% of Doers feel more committed to their pledge and 80% say they were more honest about it.
The current focus is on environmental actions, but we plan to expand it to incorporate broader social actions too.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
The DoNation is an online sponsorship platform that works much like JustGiving or VirginMoneyGiving, with the simple difference being that there's no money involved.
People can use it for all sorts of events or challenges, from marathons and expeditions to knit-a-thons and wedding gift lists. For example, a team from Forum for the Future signed up to a triathlon and created a sponsorship page on The DoNation (http://ow.ly/9qOTO), outlining what they were doing & why they wanted support. They set a target of saving 10,000 kgCO2, and then asked their friends and colleagues to sponsor them, sharing the page via online and offline media channels.
Their friends read about their challenge and browsed the DoActions, which range from eating local seasonal food or cycling to work, to using less plastic packaging or installing solar panels, and chose ones to Do. They answered a few simple questions so that the impact of their pledge can be calculated, currently measured in kgCO2 saved over two months. Their pledges were then published on the sponsorship page, and their carbon savings added to the triathletes' sponsorship total. This allowed them to see how much they were contributing, helping them to see how all the small actions add up to make a big difference.
Their sponsors received a few reminder emails over the two-month sponsorship period, with helpful info & advice. At the end of the 2 months they returned to the site to confirm how they got on.
Overall, 88 people sponsored them saving almost 15,000 kgCO2.
Sue Armstrong, one of the triathlete's mothers, sponsored them by starting to cycle to work. As a result, she cycled 480 miles, saved £93 in train fairs, felt happier & fitter, lost ½ stone, and six months later is still cycling to work. She's even persuaded two colleagues to join her! Three of their sponsors are now also raising sponsorship of their own.
Le marché : qui sont vos collègues et vos concurrents ? Identifiez les autres personnes qui travaillent à répondre au même besoin et indiquez ce qui vous différencie d'elles. Comment ces concurrents pourraient-ils influencer votre réussite ou votre croissance ?
Our competition comes from three main areas outlined below. However, their approaches are so different that they pose only indirect competition, or in fact often offer strong opportunities to collaborate.
1. Sponsorship tools: JustGiving dominates the fundraising arena, but less than 1% of funds raised through it are for environmental charities. This model of fundraising doesn't work so well for environmental causes as health charities because the beneficiaries are less tangible.
2. Environmental campaigns (e.g. 10:10, Do The Green Thing & WWF) tackle the same problem using very different means – none use our model of scalable social action.
3. Employee engagement tools will compete for CSR budgets, although none use the same interactive and socially driven approach as the DoNation.

Impact social
What is the social impact you have had to date and how you measure it?
138 challenges have used The DoNation to raise sponsorship. The main benefits to them are increased motivation and greater engagement & ability to engage others in green issues.
1251 people have supported these challenges with 1779 pledges. Eg. 210 meat-eaters have eaten 9104 vegetarian meals and 121 people cycled 42031 miles. 71% returned to confirm that they successfully completed their pledge.
The CO2 saved over the 2 months is automatically calculated: currently it's 170 tCO2. However, the real impact is far broader & longer lasting: 85% of Doers continue their action in the long term; 65% feel better about themselves; 34% save money; 18% improve health & fitness.
There is also qualitative evidence of positive attitude changes towards sustainability and philanthropy.
How does your model address financial, social, and environmental sustainability?
The DoNation's core aim is to engage the wider population in social & environmental sustainability. To ensure long-term success, we recognise we must do this in a financially self-sustaining way.
- Costs kept low thanks to extensive pro-bono support and network of ambassadors & partners, and the inherently viral sponsorship model, whereby Doers do critical marketing for us
- We're only seeking grants to cover start up costs, enabling us to develop our main revenue streams: affiliate marketing & subscription packs
- We're currently piloting the subscription packs with several companies & schools, who value it as a powerful tool to actively engage & educate their stakeholders in sustainability in a measurable and social way
- All DoActions have environmental benefits: they reduce CO2 emissions, save water, reduce waste, conserve resources, and/or biodiversity
- Shifts attitudes, bringing sustainability into everyday discourse in a positive and proactive way
- Most DoActions also have social benefits: they improve health & wellbeing, save money & time, and support communities
- Creates an inclusive method of giving, available to all irrespective of wealth or status
- Empowers people, enabling them to raise and give direct support and build stronger connections to the cause
- School & charity subscription pack costs will be subsidised by corporate packs
Awareness & learning
How do you see social entrepreneurship contributing to the improvement of developing countries?
Tackling social problems faced in developing countries from an entrepreneurial approach will help to break the cycle of dependency on aid, enabling them to create jobs in a sustainable way that they can take real pride in. To use the old cliché: it's better to give a hand up than a hand out.
Entrepreneurship allows for greater innovation & flexibility, so that solutions can be shaped by the local people to address the local needs, and evolve rapidly as these needs change. This is in contrast to traditional aid, where bureaucracy often hinders flexibility of programs on the ground.
Social entrepreneurship provides a fantastic opportunity for developing countries to learn from the mistakes of developed countries: that businesses need to incorporate environmental and social sustainability into the core of their business models from the outset. They should embed this notion into their economy whilst it's still developing.
What aspects of your stay in Uganda as part of the competition do you think you will find most challenging and rewarding?
Bringing together such a range of people from across Europe and Uganda will create a hotbed of innovation and learning which everyone involved will gain huge value from.
Seeing the real change that the people of Uganda are making to their communities, despite such limited resources, should be incredibly inspirational. It will also put our apparent struggles in stark perspective, and motivate us to continue making the most out of every opportunity given to us.
To be in a country that is already suffering from climate change, and that has a very different outlook on sustainability and climate change will challenge our current Western perspective, bringing into question the scale of our work and impact. No doubt, I will find this challenging, but it will hopefully only help to drive us to be even more ambitious and scale our impacts far faster.
We may well also be introduced to some great new solutions to incorporate into The DoNation.

Redirected from Prismatic Socket
A socket is a special slot on an item into which gems can be inserted to provide bonuses similar to those gained from enchanting. Items with sockets and the gems to put in them were introduced in the expansion.
There is currently no way to remove a gem once it has been placed into a socket. You can place another gem in the same socket, but doing so will destroy the existing gem (much like overwriting enchants).
Contents |
Placing gems in sockets
Gems can be added to sockets in the "Item Socketing" window, which can be opened by holding shift and right clicking on a socketed item. The gems are then dragged into the slots, and the "Socket Gems" button is pressed to apply the gems.
Socket types
Sockets are separated into 3 types:
- Colored Sockets
- Meta Sockets -
Prismatic (or uncolored) Sockets - -
Cogwheel (or engineering) Sockets - - Template:Mop-inline Hydraulic (underwater?) Sockets -
Gems may be placed by anyone into a socketed item via a drag-and-drop interface, invoked by shift-right-clicking the weapon or piece of armor you want socketed.
Colored sockets
The majority of sockets found on equipment are
With the exception of meta gems (and Cogwheel/Hydraulic "gems"), all gems match one or more of these colors.
- Primary-color gems — red, yellow, and blue — will only match into the specific sockets for their color.
- Secondary-color gems — green, orange, and purple — will match into either of the two slots that correspond to their color: green =
yellow + blue sockets; orange = yellow + red sockets; and purple = blue + red sockets - Prismatic gems will match any of the three socket colors.
Uncolored sockets
Uncolored sockets, and any gems they may have, do not count towards any socket bonus an item may have. However, they will count towards any requirements of a meta gem.
Meta sockets
- Main article: Meta gem
In addition, if the meta gem's requirements are not met, that meta gem will not be activated, and you will receive neither the meta gem's bonuses nor any socket bonus from the item containing the meta gem. You can socket the meta gem without meeting the requirements, but the meta gem will remain inactive until you do meet its requirements (which can be done either by socketing new gems, or equipping new items containing the required gems).
A meta gem requires you to have currently equipped items socketed with a certain number and color of other gems. These colors can be as either primary or secondary colors (see below) and secondary gems count for both colors. For example, an item with a meta gem socket that requires 2 blue and 1 red gem in order to become active, could be activated by having 2 purple gems or 2 blue and an orange gem.
Cogwheel sockets
Only cogwheels can be put in these
As of the end of
Hydraulic sockets
Introduced early in
New legendary jewels will fit in these sockets, like the following:[2]
- [Crystallized Dread] - +500 Agility gem
- [Crystallized Horror] - +500 Intellect gem
- [Crystallized Terror] - +500 Strength gem
Sockets were introduced in the Burning Crusade expansion and modelled after a similar concept using runes in Diablo II, though the method of replacing them is different.[3] The rune word system, which added additional bonuses if a particular set of runes was inserted in a particular order, has not been replicated in WoW — special combinations of gems do not confer any bonuses except the item's pre-defined socket bonus, unless using a meta gem.
As of patch 3.0.2, Blacksmiths are able to permanently place a (additional) socket on a bracer or glove, making the socketed item soulbound.[4][5] Blacksmiths were originally given the ability to socket one-handed weapons, but this appears to not have been implemented in a patch release (although it is referenced in the game files).
A blacksmith can make an

Doug Martin had 8 carries for 31 yards heading into halftime of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 42-32 win over the Oakland Raiders. In the second half, the rookie out of Boise State carried the ball 17 times for 220 yards and 4 touchdowns, in what is one of the most ridiculous non-QB fantasy football performances of all-time. I bring this up not to celebrate the rookie of the year frontrunner, but to bitch about him instead. Welcome to my new Monday feature – the With Leather Fantasy Football Support Group.
Years ago, when MySpace was a thing and not a Justin Timberlake paycheck, I used to have a group for my friends in which we would ask each other advice about trades, bye week pick-ups, whose mom had the hottest cans, etc. and I always meant to bring that here, I just forgot because I'm an idiot. But that ends today, because each Monday I'm going to reach out to people who have been scorned and destroyed by the biggest fantasy football performances of the week. It starts with Doug Martin, because I traded him two weeks ago and yesterday that bro's team tore my balls off and used them as a hackey sack.

Getting enough sleep is important, but difficult to manage. No matter how old you are theres always something that gets in the way.
As a child its often the imagination - drumming up images of monsters under the bed - that can prevent little ones from falling asleep. When youre in college, fun and midterm exams make sleep a low priority. As a working adult it could be any number of things, a new baby, for example. My daughter was sleeping through the night at 9 weeks, but our son was probably a toddler before he gave in to the sandman. I know it was long after my maternity leave expired.
Every time I attend a baby shower I share one of my stories -- like the time I showed up at work wearing two different color shoes. They were the same style, only one was navy and the other was black. Another time I was so exhausted that I went home an hour early thinking I was done for the day. And dont think just because youre retired and have all the time in the world that youll be sleeping in until noon. My in-laws are retired and they rise with the sun.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, the average American sleeps about six hours and 55 minutes per night during the week. Fifteen percent of adults sleep less than six hour per night. Yet sleep is one of the simplest things we can do for our health.
Lack of sleep can take a significant toll on your overall health and interfere with some of your daily activities, said Dr. Michael Thorpy, director of the Sleep-Wake Disorders Center at the Montfiore Medical Center in New York.
Everyone has trouble sleeping now and then. Worrying about things that happened during the day or what might be happening the next morning and eating something that disagrees with you are among normal factors contributing to a restless night. Other more consistent problems may be signs of insomnia.
Insomnia can affect people in different ways, according to the NSF. Some sufferers have trouble initially getting to sleep, while others wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling back to sleep.
Below are a few ideas recommended by Thorpy and other experts to help us all get a little more sleep:
* Theres a reason parents establish a regular bedtime and wake time. The body likes to be on a schedule, so set one and stick to it.
* Never go to bed with something weighing on your mind. If you go to bed at 11 p.m. set aside 10 minutes at night to wind down. Grab a book and read a few pages. I inherited this habit from my parents and passed it along to my children. Watching TV or using the computer right before bedtime can make it difficult to fall asleep unless its a really boring show.
* Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed, said Thorpy. While it might seem to help, alcohol can have a negative effect on what scientists refer to as sleep architecture. Thats the pattern of sleep and brain waves that leave us feeling refreshed in the morning. Alcohol can also cause dehydration.
* Who can sleep with a spring in their back? Consider investing (and a good mattress is a good investment) in a quality mattress or at the very least, a new mattress cover.
* Remember how exhausted you were as a kid after a day of playing outdoors or as an adult after mowing the lawn? Exercise is important to getting a good nights sleep. That does not mean doing jumping jacks before going to bed. Create a regular routine and possibly check with your doctor before starting an exercise regimen.
* My biggest problem when I wake up in the middle of the night is the clock. I see what time it is and if I dont fall asleep, I immediately spend the rest of the night watching the hours tick away. Try to avoid looking at the clock. Whatever you do, dont turn on the TV or computer because these technologies stimulate the brain, making it tougher to fall back to sleep, said Thorpy.
If these tips dont help, speak with your healthcare professional to help determine if you are suffering from insomnia and require treatment, Thorpy said.

Kim Kardashian is already getting into the spirit of summer by making an appearance at a pool party in Las Vegas! The busty celebrity babe was wearing a summer dress by designer Mara Hoffman and some red high heels. The party was for the launch of the new "Wet Republic" bar and pool at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas.
Fans took hundreds of photos of Kardashian and a lucky few got the chance to talk to her and get an autograph. Swimming superstar Michael Phelps was also in attendance at the party with hundreds of fans taking pics.
Kardashian also took the opportunity to deny a few rumors which had recently been spread about her – she is not pregnant, she is not getting married and most definitely not moving to New York to live with Kris Humphries.
Kim said: "L.A. is my home, and I will always live there, They're all rumors. I don't know where they come from. … You're getting married, breaking up or having a baby."
