Cantaloupe Smoothie: Canteloupe Blueberry Banana Smoothie!
My cantaloupe smoothie combines wonderfully with fresh blueberries and banana. I make all my healthy smoothie recipes out of my own kitchen using nothing but ripe delicious fruits:
Try my cantaloupe smoothie for breakfast or for an afternoon snack on a dreary winter day. It will lift your spirits. Beautiful fruits always lift my spirits!
I invented this particular smoothie because so few healthy smoothie recipes incorporate melon. This is their loss, because melons are insanely delicious! The fragrant, juicy cantaloupe is easy to find in grocery stores and is available all year long.
Cantaloupe Blueberry Banana Smoothie:
You can substitute the cantaloupe in this recipe with any other melon you like, and I like them ALL, especially the succulent green honeydew!
Cantaloupe Smoothie Ingredients:
Don't these fruits look amazing? Is your mouth watering yet? 😉
You will need:
- 3 cups of cantaloupe (with skin removed & cut into bite size pieces – see picture above)
- 1 cup of blueberries (fresh not frozen!)
- 2 frozen bananas (simply peel and stick in your freezer before you go to bed at night. In the morning, voila! Make sure the bananas are fully ripened with lots of brown spots before you freeze them).
- First, put the cantaloupe chunks and the cup of fresh blueberries into your blender. Blend until smooth. DO NOT ADD WATER OR ANYTHING ELSE! You may have to stop the blender, remove the pitcher from the base and give it a good shake a couple of times if the cantaloupe chunks become stuck.
- Last, you will add the frozen bananas and blend until very smooth. There should be no chunks!
- Pop in a straw and it's ready to drink!
Super Easy Cantaloupe Blueberry Smoothie
Here, you will find the super easy recipe for the smoothie lover. As ingredients, prepare :

The next step is taking your blender from the cupboard, set your favorite glass, a plate of cookies or whatever yummy in your taste. Fill the blender container with all the ingredients and get it on. Then, blend it until mixed well and looks creamy. Finally, pour the delicious smoothie into your glass. Serving it in cold would even more refreshing.

The directions are also simple. First, simply blend all the ingredients with your blender for about 30 seconds until it smooth and creamy. Then, pour into the glass and enjoy it. As a note, you could substitute water with milk or yogurt for more flavors.
You could also remove the spinach from the ingredients list if you don't like it. Orange juice or other fruits could also be used as substitute of strawberries for different flavors.
Healthy Watermelon Cantaloupe Smoothie

Yunnan province (Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang) is a lot like Disney World – overpriced and overrated, but I still managed to have a decent time by avoiding the crowds and ditching the tourist sites. With that said, please enjoy my top 10 photos of the land of scams, shams, and scallywags.
Anyone who has ever been to Kunming has probably visited the city's most famous park – Stone Forest or Shilin. In addition to a two-hour bus ride to the site, I had the pleasure of spending another hour taking an electric trolley from the bus station to the ticket office and then to the main gate. So, after several hours in transit, I spent 20 minutes at the park, snapped a few photos, and then rushed back to catch the last bus of the day.
After getting vexed with aggressive touts and pricey tours, I decided to go on my own excursion by renting a rickety 10 RMB bike and riding / pushing it up a mountain.
This picture was not altered in Photoshop. The skies overlooking Baisha are indeed that baby blue while the nearby mountains are reminiscent of a Coors Light commercial. While the town didn't have much in the way of entertainment, it did provide just enough serenity for me to keep my sanity.
I couldn't quite understand what this girl was saying as she was speaking in the local Lijiang dialect, but I like to think she's shouting, "Come at me, bro!" (In case you were wondering, yes, she does have another arm.)
While scrambling to pick up some souvenirs, I came across this old lady sewing wallets and other embroideries. As a fan of handmade items, I decided to purchase some of her wares but not before engaging in some Beijing-style, cutthroat negotiating.
While shooting in the "golden hour" just before sunset, I was able to capture the variety of lighting pouring onto Baisha's old-timey streets.
The ominous trees in the background would be perfect for a horror movie.
Boys will be boys. And in the case of Dali, this means juvenile delinquents stealing motorcycles, getting hopped up on rice noodles, and taking joy rides around town.
I stood by this wall for several minutes, waiting for someone to walk by before taking this photo.
This dog has nothing to do with Yunnan in particular, but I thought that it looked so creepy that I had to include it in my top 10 photos of the province. It reminded me of a canine version of Doctor Evil or perhaps a futuristic doggish cyborg sent back from the future in order to assassinate its rebel leader pup.

A homelessness charity is hoping that Hemel Hempstead's part in the final leg of the Aviva Women's Tour has inspired others to get into the saddle.
DENS has launched its own cycle challenge with participants able to chose between 100km and 60km routes over the challenging Chiltern Hills.
There's plenty of time to get fit for the occasion as the fundraising Hemel Hillbuster is not until Sunday, April 24.
The event will start and finish at Gadebridge Park, which was a hive of activity on Sunday when top sportswomen cycled into the town.
There will also be a 10km off road ride for children.
The charity, which runs a purpose built hostel in Redbourn Road, wants to hear from businesses who would like to work with them on the event.
To find out more email email@example.com or call 01442 800268 and for more information about the event visit www.dens.org.uk/cycle.

Home Security System Tips
Post Date:06/29/2018 12:58 PM
Each summer the Police Department sees a sharp increase in false alarm calls. These calls are largely preventable and take away from our public safety resources. Here is what you need to know:
There are a few possible causes of false alarms, especially in the summer:
- Visitors to your home that don't normally use your alarm system.
- Not having regular preventative maintenance performed on your alarm system. Weak batteries can cause alarm problems.
- Windows left open to allow for the nice spring/summer breeze.
- Youth are out of school
You can help reduce these false dispatches with a few simple steps:
- Make sure anyone with a key to your home has been properly and adequately trained in the correct use of your alarm system. They need to know how to work the alarm at the keypad and how to cancel the alarm with the alarm monitoring company.
- Make sure school-aged children understand the importance of using the alarm correctly to avoid false alarms.
- As you leave your home, check to ensure that your home is secured. Open windows may allow a breeze to move window treatments and activate motion sensors. Unsecured doors can also creep open in the breeze to create false alarms.
- Instruct your monitoring company not to dispatch on non-emergency signals. This can include power outages, weather related signals, low battery signals or heat loss sensors.
- Request your monitoring company to use Enhanced Call Verification (ECV), which requires making two calls to a responsible party prior to requesting a law enforcement dispatch. Make sure your responsible party call list is current.
- If you get a new pet, call your alarm company to ensure your new family member is not going to create alarm problems.
- Take care when rearranging your home. Ensure moving items such as balloons, curtains, decorations and plants are not placed in the path of motion detectors.
Taking a few minutes to follow these steps will make a huge difference in reducing the false alarm calls in Sandy.

While You Were Sleeping
Sometime -- perhaps while you were sleeping -- you unknowingly joined the class. The original Authors Guild lawsuit against Google was brought on behalf of all persons who owned copyright in a book that was in the University of Michigan library. That class certification may not have affected you -- you would have to check the UM card catalogue. But when Google negotiated the proposed settlement in October 2008, the parties managed to "grow" the class to include anybody with "a U.S. copyright interest in one or more books." That's one of the reasons the Google settlement has become so controversial -- it is, as one writer put it, "a compulsory license to all books in copyright throughout the world forever."
If You Opt Out ...
Members of a class are given the choice to "opt out" of the proceedings and pursue claims on their own. In other words, you are free to notify the court that you would like to take on Google all by yourself in a separate lawsuit. You may be thinking, what if I don't want to be in the class, and I don't want to take on Google? In other words, 'Why can't everybody just leave me alone?' Unfortunately that option is not available. However, many others are challenging the settlement, and the validity of the class.
Why We Liked the 'Class Action' Movie
We love that this movie was actually filmed in San Francisco and shows City Hall before the renovation (and we love the document delivery scene on Bush Street -- or we think it was Bush). But most of all we love that the crew renovated the Beach Chalet (before it was officially renovated) and shot the bar scenes-- including one with a musical performance by Dan Hicks -- in the beautiful muraled lobby across from the Pacfic.
PS. For those of you who were stirred up by our recent response to the question, 'Does Every Product Have a Trademark?' we'll try to provide further clarification next week.

Symantec researchers have uncovered a Trojan that targets a previously patched Microsoft Office security flaw.
"The exploit, which is being used in targeted attacks, arrives as an email that contains a Microsoft Word file and a separate DLL file, a rare combination considering DLL files are not typically sent over email," writes SC Magazine's Dan Kaplan.
"The trojan, dubbed 'Activehijack' by Symantec, takes advantage of a vulnerability rated 'important' that was patched by Microsoft in September with bulletin MS11-073," Kaplan writes.
Go to "Trojan appears that leverages patched Microsoft Office flaw" to read the details.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204660766;s=9477;x=7936;f=201812281312070;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20392931;e=i

Great post! Just wanted to also suggest for the kids. . .we have an "A", "B", and "C" chore list. "A" chores are regular everyday chores (that quickly get boring). "B" chores - a little more regular. And "C" chores are "once every couple of months chores" like washing windows.
Our deal is that we tell our son, "Go do 3 chores on the C list" and he can pick whatever he wants. So he's not always doing A chores. I guess you can say that it adds some variety. He likes it because he can pick from a long list (and he's picks the easiest stuff). I like it because I got to dream up each list and the C list was the most fun ("hmmmm...it'd be fun to have a clean front door every once in awhile and a clean window or maybe even a clean ceiling fan!!"). And I like it because I do ACTUALLY get things on the C list! (We don't make him clean ALL the windows - usually only 1 or 2 at a time.)
It's been working for us.

I have always wanted to implement a plan like this but never seem to find a way to create the actual list, could you share yours? Thanks!
- September 25, 2010 at 3:07 PM
Why would "reading scriptures" be on this list?
- September 27, 2010 at 9:24 AM
- Robin {keephomesimple} said...
I try and read my scriptures (bible/book of mormon) everyday. Somedays get really busy though and I just need a little reminder so I remember to do that. It keeps me close to my Savior and helps me be a better mom/wife/woman.
This household schedule is great because you can put anything you want on it. Anything that your own household needs/wants to get done. "Read Scriptures" is just something that our family tries to do everyday.
- September 27, 2010 at 11:55 AM
- Robin {keephomesimple} said...
Just wanted to add...I know reading scriptures is not something that needs to be cleaned around the house. LOL! Sorry for the confusion.
Just make your list personal.

Authenticity isn't something that can be manufactured in a studio. It's not a craft that can be learned or artfully practiced. It comes from living life. It's the byproduct of blood, sweat and tears and as the foundation for music, it elevates mere entertainment to compelling art. Every note, every word on the Randy Rogers Band's new album Nothing Shines Like Neon rings with authenticity that makes each song linger with the listener long after the music fades.

text: Eleven well permits were reported in the Caller's Oil & Gas Report. The most significant of those are two 21,000 ft permits by Pioneer Natural Resources. Both wells were permitted in Live Oak County, with one in the Sugarkane field and one in the Eagleville field. Longer laterals are the trend in shale plays. Drilling an extra foot or thousands of feet is much more efficient than drilling multiple wells. Of course, there is a point of diminishing returns due to technical limitations, but operators are routinely drilling 10,000 ft laterals in other shale plays.

One Perfect Brick At A Time
The foundation of a skyscraper is very different from that of a single story home. The kind of success and end result you desire must be equivalent to the foundation you lay. Artists, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and all around successful individuals invest in a solid foundation to build what results in not just immediate success, but in the kind of success that is lasting.
At Klein Epstein and Parker, we believe that every individual holds within themselves a boundless potential to be successful and leave a legacy worth remembering. It is very much in part why we do what we do. A driving factor behind our unique Made to Measure process is that we recognize the significance of laying a solid foundation to embody one's unique story and talents. Furthermore, beyond simply recognizing your unique story, we'd like to be the force of empowerment to tell that story boldly. In a world that is constantly trying to narrate what we should be and look like, we are firmly committed to putting the power back in your hands. Allowing you to fashion one of a kind garments that bring to life your legacy into the here and now.
We recognize laying down a solid foundation begins with laying down one perfect brick at a time. Thus we challenge you to think through what you want to 'build'. Visualize the possibilities of the success you desire. If you have big dreams, then you should have a strong foundation. In the word's of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.'
Follow Your Heart. Be A Rebel.

I believe we all have sweet memories of the times when our only way to get on the World-Wide-Web was a dial-up Internet service. Oh, this was the time of the first humble steps of internet. I will ever remember the time when I used this dial-up Internet service. I think I'll miss very much the nice angelic tune my computer played when I was attempting to log on. Here I must emphasize on attempting. In fact, this was the bare truth. Most of the time I was attempting to get on the internet but it was usually very hard.
Come on, I'm not lying. I hated that noise which came out when I pressed that connect button. It was so annoying for me because I knew that I would not be able to connect after that. However, now we will talk about something more pleasant than the annoying sound of the dial-up connection. We all live in a computer age so we have the opportunity to enjoy better Internet speed and connection. Let me say MUCH better speed and connection. Nowadays, cyberspace is much more approachable with this cable high-speed access available. If you want to have full access to the internet, you'd better contact a wireless Internet service provider. A wireless Internet service provider will offer you the best internet services you can find at this time.
Let me ask you, who is responsible for your connection to the Internet?
Do you still rely on the old-fashioned type of dial-up connection? Or maybe you have made the right choice to rely on a wireless Internet service provider. If your answer is yeas, are you satisfied with your wireless Internet service provider? I guess you are satisfied otherwise why would you persist on it if you do not like it? I am just asking because I think that the wireless Internet service provider can offer you the most satisfactory Internet service possible. I mean I expect a lot of my wireless Internet service provider. To be more specific I expect from my wireless Internet service provider a low monthly bill, access to the Internet 24/7 and no, I repeat no, cut-offs.
If your wireless Internet service provider is able to provide such irreproachable service than you have to be glad. If you do not receive these basics, then you have to search for another wireless Internet service provider. After all, nobody wants to pay for something that does not work. If you have too many cut-offs you should ask them to reduce the monthly bill. Will they do it? NO! Of course, they won't reduce your bill. So why should you pay them? Do not worry; many wireless Internet service providers will give you what you want.
If you are wondering where you are able to learn more about which is the most improved wireless Internet service provider, then I recommend you get online. Internet is the ideal place to find out that perfect deal.

Silk's Post #101 — In his last post, 5writer Joe shared some valuable advice from experts in self-publishing, compiled by Betty Kelly Sargent, founder of BookWorks, in a Publishers Weekly article. It all sounds eminently sensible and business like. Calm. Reasoned. Soothing, almost.
Oh, except for the number bomb dropped into the introduction, which activated my morbid fascination with "arithmetic for writers". Sargent did some Googling, and found 54,400,000 results when she searched "self-publishing an e-book". Although I'm grateful to her for reducing this Niagara Falls of advice to a mini-fount of wisdom, there's nothing calming about the depth and breadth of self-publishing chatter out there. It's terrifying.
If you immerse yourself in this conversation, it's easy to see exclamation points (my favourite abandoned punctuation mark!) where none need exist: You must know this! You better not do that! Hurry up! Slow down! Self-publishing is a dead end! Self-publishing is the future! Don't even think about self-publishing without reading (listening to, attending, buying) this important book (article, conference, workshop, guide)! Sargent opens her Publishers Weekly piece on this cautionary note: "It can be a jungle out there for self-publishers."
No kidding.
The only possible responses are: a) to face one's fears and put it into perspective, or b) to curl up in a ball and whimper like a baby. So let's break it down.
First: How did this daunting body of knowledge and advice about self-publishing and e-books get so big, so fast?
My theory: this is a whole new business model for a centuries-old industry. A revolution. And in a revolution, chaos tends to reign. Lots of people are running around the public square and up blind alleys, trying to figure out where to go, what to do, who all the other people are, and whether one should follow them or run away from them. Everything is, to at least some degree, experimental. Everyone is coming up with their own thoughts and theories and recipes for success, from authors who want to be published, to publishing industry folks who want to keep (or get) a paying gig in this brave new world. Everyone's trying to read the bones and get a lock on the future, but it's a complex and fluid situation. There's a lot of re-invention going on here, a lot of pathfinding.
And since we're all writers, we are, of course, writing about it. Endlessly.
Not only that, but – as you no doubt have noticed – the Internet is a gigantic echo chamber. Of those 54,400,000 hits on the "self-publishing an e-book" search, what percentage of them are truly original and substantive? How much of all this verbiage is derivative, recycled or simply repeated in an endless game of "telephone"?
Okay, whew. That cuts it down to size neatly. I feel better already.
Second: How – and when – does a potential indie author need to learn about self-publishing to be successful?
Writing a novel and publishing a novel are two completely different enterprises (whether as an e-book, or in print, with or without a traditional publisher). That may seem self-evident, but it's worth thinking about the implications at a personal level.
These two processes do not use the same brain cells, or at least they don't use them in the same way. They're entirely separate challenges, and require different skill sets, knowledge, methodologies and mindsets. For me, and probably for many novelists, the writing part is what I love and the business side is something of a necessary evil.
I've been here before in another life.
When I started my graphic design business many years ago as a freelancer working from a tiny home office, it was my love of design and copywriting that drove me to take the plunge. I had just lost my job as a designer in a small studio, which was the psychological equivalent of about 100 rejection letters. Yeah, okay, I was fired. For being too "headstrong". I had no formal training and little experience and – like an unpublished novelist who believes in her own talent even when no one else is willing to take a chance on her – I knew if I wanted to get into the field, I was going to have to create the opportunity myself.
Not only was I a novice designer, I knew virtually nothing about running a business. I just jumped in with both feet, blissfully ignorant but confident that I'd figure it out.
Fortunately, I did.
Every day I learned what I needed to know. It was pure, hands-on, real-world, just-in-time training, and a ridiculous amount of hard work. My modus operandi was to make it up as I went along. That meant being constantly on the alert for opportunities and pitfalls, and learning from my mistakes (of omission as well as commission). Since I wasn't part of the "establishment" I had to be inventive – and build a great team of collaborators – to survive.
The good news was that we not only survived, we thrived. The venture turned into a 35-year career, a sometimes crazy roller-coaster ride, and a successful, award-winning agency in an industry not known for longevity. Still, I always viewed the business side of it as the price I had to pay to get the chance to do the creative work.
(Eventually, I became the "establishment", which, ironically perhaps, took a lot of the fun out of it for me.)
This experience taught me that you don't need to know everything at the beginning of a venture that you'll eventually have to know in order to make it successful. In fact, I believe that you can only learn things when you're ready for them. And what makes you "ready" is usually the necessity to act – the point in your journey when you simply have to move forward or fall back.
It also taught me that when you do get to that tipping point, you need to get out of your comfort zone, do your homework, figure out a plan (even if you change it later), rev yourself up for hard work and commitment, and forge ahead without fear. Mindset is everything. Even if you fail to reach the goal you hoped for, you won't fail to learn – and that new expertise will propel you to a new goal.
This is the nature of risk-taking, and business is all about risk. For that matter, so is writing. Sometimes we have to take a leap of faith.
Third: Who do you listen to when you need to figure out how to navigate the swirling waters of this emerging self-publishing industry?
Clearly, there is no shortage of advice. While some of it may be conflicting, and trends and opportunities are continually shifting, it just can't be that hard to find some models of success to emulate. Find them, study them, then tune them to fit your own circumstances.
Because the short answer to this question is that, in the end, you have to listen to yourself.
Yes, you. The novice. The "non-establishment" (and likely unpublished) writer. Because you're the person who's going to have to do all the work, make and learn from your mistakes, and think on your feet.
The advice Sargent curated in her Publishers Weekly article – based on industry experts' "single, most important piece of advice" to aspiring authors – focused on the themes of "knowing what your want" and "being patient". We're told to:
- Take enough time to produce a product that's worth our readers' time and money.
- Know our goals and be absolutely clear about what they are and how we plan to achieve them.
- Be patient and not worry about how the work sells out of the gate.
- Make our books as widely available as possible in the networked world.
- Avoid premature distribution by starting small, publishing beta versions and growing our "author platform".
- Write every day and hire an editor.
- Treat self-publishing as a business, including doing competitive research and having a business plan and marketing plan in place.
All good advice. But it doesn't really get us there, does it?
And that's the problem with everything I've read to date on self-publishing. It tends to be either at the level of platitudes, or at the level of step-by-step prescriptions. Yes, I think it's critical to take all this on board, but knowing stuff isn't the same as doing stuff.
If Sargent had asked me her question – "If you could give someone starting out in self-publishing only one piece of advice, what would it be?" (and there's no reason anyone would really want to ask me, a total novice, so consider the source) – I would have had a contrarian answer:
Before you consider self-publishing, look into your own heart and ask yourself whether you're willing to do what's necessary to take on a completely new business enterprise without knowing everything you need to know at the outset, or being guaranteed of a formula for success. Whatever other advice you follow, it won't magically get you there.
Only you can get yourself there, under your own power.
You are a writer. You know how to research. You plan your books (maybe by outlining or maybe organically). You invent stories. You innovate. You improvise. Are you prepared to embark on the journey of adapting these skills to a business venture – as opposed to an artistic one?
I do believe self-publishing is a do-it-yourself extension to the modern writer's journey. But make no mistake, it requires one to become an entrepreneur – with all the challenges (and rewards) that entails. In many ways, self-publishing should be treated as a kind of small business start-up. I believe that it's impossible for those who've never been down this road before to know whether they'll really take to it – or not – until they try it.
But look at it this way: you have nothing to lose but your literary anonymity!

Dr. Atkins Death Debate Resurrected
Dr. Joel Fuhrman digging up the grave of the late Dr. Atkins...AGAIN!
I've been reading a couple of books by a health and nutrition author named Dr. Joel Fuhrman recently that I will be writing a review of at my blog in the next couple of weeks.
But after reading what Dr. Fuhrman wrote in this recent post on his DiseaseProof blog last week regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of the creator of the Atkins diet, Dr. Robert C. Atkins, I felt strongly compelled to respond.
In his post entitled "Examining Dr. Atkins' Death," Dr. Fuhrman said the whitewashing by certain people of how and why Dr. Atkins died over two years ago is "distorting the facts" about what really happened.
"Before Dr. Atkins was hospitalized near the end of his life, he weighed about 200 pounds. Atkins' medical record showed he had atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, had suffered from a previous heart attack, and had high blood pressure. However, many would have you believe he was merely a healthy guy who died after slipping on a patch of ice."
Can you still believe this is such a heated subject of controversy in the year 2006 -- 27 months after it happened?
NEWSFLASH, Dr. Fuhrman: Dr. Atkins has passed on to meet his Creator and cannot stand up against people like you who continue to run his name and reputation through the dirt just because you don't agree with his dietary principles. Since he is no longer around to defend his good name, I will be MORE THAN HAPPY to stand up for him!
How insulting is it for the condition of his health and tragic death of Dr. Atkins being discussed in such a derogatory manner when he's been dead now for over two years?! CAN'T YOU JUST LET THE MAN REST IN PEACE ALREADY!!!
Okay, now that I've got that off my chest, let's address this issue of Dr. Atkins and his health at the time of his death. The fact that the personal medical records of Dr. Atkins were illegally distributed to the media within hours of his death who gladly released them to the public almost immediately without the permission of his grieving wife was utterly despicable!
"I am sure that any one of you would be offended and perhaps even horrified to have complete strangers intrude into your personal family matters, especially with regard to something as intimate as your medical records or those of your loved one," Mrs. Veronica Atkins said in a statement just days after her husband died after suffering complications from a slip and fall accident in New York City.
Mrs. Atkins explains in that statement about her late husband's weakened heart that it was due to an infection, not his diet. Several medical professionals and cardiologists confirmed that the diet promoted and engaged in by Dr. Atkins was NOT the source of his condition. PERIOD! End of story! Why must this question keep coming up when it's already been settled?
"I look forward to the day when Dr. Atkins' soul can rest in peace and I can grieve uninterrupted," Mrs. Atkins wrote at the end of her statement on February 9, 2004.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Atkins we've got imbecils like Dr. Fuhrman who refuse to let it go because he's so deeply in bed with the radical anti-Atkins diet group Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM), an offspring of the extreme animal rights/vegan movement group People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
You might recall this is the same group that is supporting opportunist Jody Gorran's frivilous lawsuit against Atkins Nutritionals. Are you seeing the connection here? Dr. Fuhrman supports the work of PCRM who backs Gorran who is opposed to Atkins -- ERGO, Dr. Fuhrman must be against Dr. Atkins and everything he stood for as well. Ding ding ding, I think we have a winner here!
Want more evidence? Just take a look at who PCRM has listed as a "member physician" in their organization. GASP! What a surprise?! NOT! Hmm, do ya think Dr. Fuhrman's got some friends in PCRM he's trying to impress with his negative comments about Dr. Atkins? Me thinks he does!
In my review of his books so far, Dr. Fuhrman describes the Atkins diet, The Zone diet by Dr. Barry Sears and The Protein Power diet by Drs. Michael and Mary Eades as "the most dangerous" ones for people to follow. Oh yeah, this vegetarian nut is gonna be unbiased in his opinions about Dr. Atkins, isn't he?! Sheeeeeez! And he actually expects us to take him seriously? Ha!
Now that you know where Dr. Fuhrman is coming from, keep that in mind with the rest of his comments about Dr. Atkins and the Atkins diet.
Claiming he had a patient who was a friend of Dr. Atkins and suffered from "severe coronary artery disease which he developed on the Atkins diet," Dr. Fuhrman said he cured this patient by taking him off of low-carb and putting him on a plant-based diet.
Sharing suspicious third-party information from this patient who just conveniently happened to have the same cardiologist as Dr. Atkins, Dr. Fuhrman said his patient told him that his cardiologist revealed that Dr. Atkins actually had a heart attack which caused his fall on the ice. He said, she said, that he said...say what?!
Have you ever heard of the phrase "grasping at straws?" Do ya think Dr. Fuhrman and his "patient" are reaching hard for something bad to say about Dr. Atkins?! Give me a break, Dr. Fuhrman! Is that REALLY the best you can come up with?!
Claiming that Mrs. Atkins "quickly switched cardiologists to find one who would aid in the cover-up," Dr. Fuhrman continued his fantasyland rant about how awful it is for people to be eating a meat-based diet because look what it did to the guy who came up with that kind of a diet.
"The only point to be made here is these guys advocating a high meat diet are unfortunately hurting themselves too, not just their followers, but it is a shame that people have to suffer and even die needlessly from the advice of these high-meat advocates."
If the premise of Dr. Fuhrman's comments wasn't so laughable it would be quickly dismissed without comment. But for him to make the giant leap that the death of Dr. Atkins proves his diet is no longer viable for people to follow for weight loss and health is like saying the passing of Johnny Cash means country music has run its course and people should only listen to rock & roll now.
Preposterous! Idiotic! Nonsensical!
Hey Dr. Fuhrman, I've got some news for you. There are lots of real life examples living out here in the real world who are more than willing to tell you how much our lives have been changed by that same Dr. Atkins you so willfully malign with your ignorant statements against him and his diet.
I've got news for you, buster! If it wasn't for the great work conducted by Dr. Robert C. Atkins on the low-carb lifestyle, then I would have NEVER been able to lose nearly 200 pounds like I did two years ago and then keep it off by continuing to apply the principles that this intelligent man laid out in his books.
Where would I be today without the Atkins diet? High blood pressure, high cholesterol, breathing problems, diabetes, weighing over 500 pounds, no sex life, no social life, sitting in front of a television moping about my health, feeling depressed that I haven't been able to find a way to lose weight, suicidal, or even six feet under in a premature death due to my morbid obesity. ALL OF THAT WAS AVOIDED BECAUSE I WENT ON THE ATKINS DIET, DR. FUHRMAN!!!
While it is obvious to everyone that you personally dislike the healthy nutritional approach advocated by Dr. Atkins, it is simply reprehensible for people like you to resort to such vile and vicious personal attacks against a man who will forever be remembered and revered as a maverick revolutionary in the field of diet and nutrition. As long as I have breath to breathe and continue to enjoy the outstanding health that I now have thanks to the Atkins diet, I will say it loud and say it proud that the Atkins way of life is a healthy alternative to the failed low-fat diet approach we have been LIED TO about for decades.
Livin' la vida low-carb worked for me and I'll never be the same again because of it. Neglecting to point out the countless positive success stories of the Atkins Nutritional Approach like mine that exist in the world today, Dr. Fuhrman, is short-sighted and narrow-minded. Perhaps you should do just a little more research on the subject the next time you decide to go off on a tangent on something you obviously know little to nothing about.
Dr. Joel Fuhrman does not have a direct e-mail address, but you can get an e-mail to him at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or, you can contact him at this contact page from his web site with his address and telephone number if you wish to share with him your feedback about his comments against Dr. Atkins and the Atkins diet.
I think Dr. Fuhrman will be in for a rude awakening about the number of people like me who have been changed for the better because of one Dr. Robert C. Atkins. God rest his soul and may he FINALLY rest in peace!

ARTICLE : Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Yesterday you were born. One moment you were unawarely existing in a small, dark place and suddenly a bright light appeared before you. You learned how to breathe and in seconds you opened your eyes to the world. You moved every inch of your body. You learned how to speak, think and listen. By the end of the day, you could walk.
Today, you're young. You started off running and jumping and you even learned how to dance. Every hour you change a little bit because you're learning something new every minute. You're told you're insatiable, and almost no one can keep up with you. You are an unstoppable force of nature, you feel invincible, immortal.
But then you tripped. You look at the clock —it's 11:58pm. So what happens now?
Tomorrow is defined by the decision at hand. You've never tripped before, you don't really know what just happened.
Are you hurt? Everything OK? What's the plan?
Everyone gathers around you. You can't really see them because you're facing the floor but you know they're standing right next to you, looking down on you. You're hoping someone will lend you a hand, but eventually you realize that's not going to happen. The floor gets colder, you can't really explain it but you're feeling something pulling you closer to the ground. Is your own body betraying you?Are you actually sinking or is that your imagination?
What are you going to do now?
It's 11:59pm.
When you're young, you're invincible. You're immortal —or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless. You're inventing the future.
At some point, you have to learn that sometimes you do everything in your power to succeed and it still doesn't happen.
Right now, you have to look at the bigger picture. You've learned so much this far, this is all just a small complication. So you fell, that's okay. You're not just the mistakes you make, you're also all the times you recovered from them.
Tripping is an accident, standing back up is a decision. And the power it takes to come back from that is outstanding, but no one can make the decision for you.
You also have to know that simply deciding to get off the floor doesn't mean you will. Still, that doesn't mean you can't keep trying until you do.
Tomorrow, you could learn how to fly. You could swim in the ocean, climb the tallest mountain or discover a new galaxy.
And I know these are all simple possibilities, that there is no certainty that they will come true, but how would you know if you never stand up?
I know tomorrow seems difficult, but the possibilities that the future brings make it wonderful.
Tomorrow, you will be old. By midnight, you'll be too tired to move your fingers. What you see now could very well be the last thing you'll ever see. Do you want to spend tomorrow's last minutes facing the ground, or would you rather look at the stars?
It's up to nobody but you.
It's midnight. What did you do?

The pattern of multilateral engagement and unilateral retrenchment in American foreign policy from the Cold War through the Clinton, Bush, and Obama years presents a puzzle. What accounts for the unilateralist turn? Is it a passing aberration attributable to the neoconservative ideology of the Bush administration? What then of the disengagement evident earlier during Clinton's presidency, or its continuation under Obama? Was the U.S. investment in multilateral institutions following World War II an anomaly? Or is the more recent retreat from international institutions the irregularity?
Skidmore traces U.S. unilateralism to the structural effects of the end of the Cold War, both domestically and abroad, to argue that the United States was more hegemonic than multilateralist—a rule-maker, not a rule-taker. An "institutional bargain" existed under the Cold War threat from the Soviets, but absent those imperatives the United States has been less willing to provide collective goods through strong international institutions and other states are less willing to defer to U.S. exemptions. On the home front, the post-Cold War political environment has made it more difficult for presidents to resist the appeals of powerful interests who are threatened by multilateral commitments.
This book demonstrates that American unilateralism has deeper roots and more resilience than many expect. The unilateral temptation can only be overcome through new political bargains domestically and internationally that permit multilateral engagement, even the absence of great power rivalry.

My recent article "Of The Top 10 Causes of Malpractice & Grievances – 8 Are Sloppy Housekeeping!" has been reverberating around the web thru LinkedIn, Twitter and e-mail at a far greater volume than I ever expected, especially my comment on the all-too-typical lack of control of open files. I've lost count of the times I have forwarded my Case Manager Form to worried attorneys.
So I've decided to follow up in three ways. First, I will deconstruct the half-day seminar I have been conducting around the country,Ethics and Managing Risk in the Law Firm into small bites, and post them right here over the next few weeks.
Second, I will offer a free 30-minute coaching call on key areas of concern to the first 10 people who send an e-mail request to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Third, I will again offer my Case Manager form, which provides a simple way for attorneys to track & manage the work, to anyone. Just e-mail me a request to the above address.
And stay tuned. If you're not one of the first 10 requests, I'll extend the offer again with each bite of my risk management program, so try again next time.

We want to be a community of Christians who give generously of our time, abilities and money.
As a church we encourage each other to give:
- generously – the Bible gives 10% of our income as a benchmark figure to seriously consider (although this shouldn't stop us giving more than that!).
- to the church – we believe the Bible teaches that this 10% should go to specifically Christian causes and that giving to secular charities should be on top of this. We also believe the New Testament places a high priority on the local church and that therefore the majority, if not all, of this tithe should go to the local church, with the local church then supporting other causes. At St Mungo's we give 15-20% of our church income away to support the worldwide church in mission and caring for the poor, in addition to our contribution to the Scottish Episcopal Church.
- regularly – it is biblical and makes sense to give weekly or monthly. Using a Standing Order makes this very easy.
- joyfully – we want to give out of gratitude to God and because we enjoy doing so, not because we feel we must.
- wisely – which involves giving tax efficiently. If we are tax payers, completing a gift aid declaration enables the church to reclaim the tax paid on the money we give, which increases the value of our giving by 25%.
But just as you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us – see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
2 Corinthians 8 v 7
You can give easily via give.net, but please note that a standing order and a gift aid declaration is the most helpful.
Useful to know
Virtually all St Mungo's income comes from our congregation. We receive no central funding.
If you count St Mungo's as your church, please consider prayerfully and carefully how much you will give this year. Your contribution really counts.

96 racers lined up for the 10 am Master's 3/4 race at the Lilypons Water Gardens yesterday. With heavy rain on the drive out, everyone anticipated a sloppy course. Just before start time, things started to dry up, and reports were coming in that it was fast and dry. Todd Bickling and Steve Fife lined up in the first few rows after call ups. In the chaos of the first lap, Steve managed to get into the front group, while Todd worked his way into the chasing group. Over the next 3 of 5 laps, the lead group whittled down to just 4 including Steve. By 2 to go, it was down to two with just Steve and Kenneth Morris from Winchester Wheelmen on the front, with a small chase group of about four following. Steve lead through the lily ponds on the final lap up until the gravel section, where he happily let Morris take the lead (and the wind) for a breather before attacking through the last section before the Beer tent and the top of the hill. From there, Steve maintained his margin to cross the line solo for his first cross win in 4 years. Todd rolled in for 8th on the day for two Bike Doctor's in the top 10!

Music is the only medium by which you can directly affect another person's emotions and behavior. It is a powerful force, a key party tool, and should be respected as such! Music can change your entire party for better or worse! Apart from lighting, it is the music that sets the tone and ambiance for your entire event. When hosting an event, music is one of the first things to be considered. Colorado Party Rentals has everything you need to throw the perfect party with event equipment rental, tents, linens, and everything in between. However, when it comes to music choice, the host is privileged to provide this element! Below are a few ideas on choosing the best music for your event!
Guest List
Look at your guest list and check who is coming to your party to figure out what kind of music will set the stage. Is the audience older or younger? If they are older, are they young at heart? Will they dance and let loose? Think in terms of your guests and what genre of music would help put them at ease and make them feel most comfortable.
What Kind of Party Will It Be?
If you are having a dinner party, the music should be gentle and soft, as in background music. If your event is intimate, with a few people, the music should not be louder than conversational level. The music you incorporate into a party should enhance the event to create the atmosphere you want.
Choose a Theme
You will want the theme to correspond with your music. If you have a 70s-themed party, your music could be disco music from the time period. If you are hosting an anniversary celebration for a couple, the music could be that of the year they were married. If hosting an intimate dinner party, think of something soothing yet soulful – depending on the age of guests, you could range from Michael Buble to Tony Bennett.
Timing is Key!
Time the best songs for the peak of the party – a little after start time, but before everyone is winding down. Don't play the music too loud while the guests are arriving; you can turn it up later during the party. Music should be played at a level where guests can converse when they first arrive, and later, play music at its loudest during the peak of the event. When you want people to leave, it would be the time to play slower songs or something of a more contemplative nature.
Call Colorado Party Rentals Today To Book Your Next Event!
From the moment we answer the phone, you will receive assistance in planning and creating your order to achieve the look that you want. No event is too big or too small for personalized attention, and we will work with you over the phone or on-site to provide you with your choice of the broadest range of equipment in the region, from specialty linens, tables, chairs, and china to tents and tent structures. Looking for something you do not see on our website? Just ask. Our inventory is constantly being updated to reflect the requests of our customers and the newest trends.

AcupuncturePosted by Dr F Scott Villines
Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of treatment in recorded history. The use of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) dates back at least 2500 years and there is some evidence suggesting its use 4000 years ago.
In acupuncture there are certain points on the body associated with channels of energy known as "meridians". These points can be stimulated by any number of means, such as needles, electric stimulation, lasers, metal non-piercing needles and direct pressure just to name a few.
The classical theory behind acupuncture treatment in TCM is that meridians are channels of energy that connect the skin with the underlying organs and structures of the body. A disruption of this energy flow can cause disease or symptoms to occur. Stimulation of these points is thought to restore the balance or energy flowing through the points and channels. Due to the broad ranging implications of this theory, acupuncture is one of the primary forms of therapy in TCM and is still in wide use in China and many other countries.
Studies done by traditional western medicine have shown that acupuncture points (1) effect the release of the bodies natural pain relievers and immune system cells (2) are more electrically conductive than the surrounding tissue and therefore send signals to the brain at a higher rate and (3) can alter the chemical output of the brain itself (neurotransmitters and neurohormones).
One of the most appealing things about acupuncture treatment is safety. The complications from acupuncture are extremely rare and usually associated with poor needle technique. The main concerns of adverse reactions come from poor sterile technique which is rare in the U.S. due to the high use of disposable needles. The second concern is the possibility of puncturing an organ due to improper placement of a needle during treatment again this is a very rare complication. The more common side effects are mild discomfort or mild swelling and redness following needle insertion. Side effects are rare but possible. Using only a certified acupuncturist will reduce the chances of complications.
If there is a fear of needles or these rare complications the use of non-needle techniques like electroacupuncture, lasers or acupressure completely eliminate these worries.
The needles I use in my office are Japanese style disposable; these are very small diameter, shallow insertion needles. This greatly decreases the likelihood of any complication due to the single use and the very shallow depth of insertion. The small diameter makes the treatment more comfortable and often completely painless. This again is due to the solid structure and size of the needle which is very different from the hollow hypodermic needles most of us are familiar with.
My training in acupuncture was a certification through Parker Chiropractic College in a course taught by Dr. Richard Yennie. Dr Yennie is considered one of the pioneers of acupuncture in the United States.
If you have any questions regarding acupuncture or chiropractic care please call my office (972-424-4266) for a free consultation.

Governor beams over workers' comp overhaul
2004-04-17 04:00:00 PDT Sacramento -- The Legislature, with little dissent, sent an overhaul of California's workers' compensation system Friday to a beaming Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who declared it evidence of a growing bipartisan spirit flourishing under his leadership.
"When I came to Sacramento in November, the first thing I heard was that it can't be done," the governor said at a Capitol news conference shortly after receiving the bill he helped negotiate. "By working together, we have shown that we are bigger than our problems, that everything is possible. And I have to say it is a big change that is taking place in this building."
Appearing separately, Senate Pro Tem John Burton, D-San Francisco, summarized weeks of tedious negotiations that numbed even the most enthusiastic policy wonks.
"This is the first moment in the last 10 days I haven't had a goddamn headache," he said jovially.
SB899, which passed the Assembly 47-32 and the Senate 33-3, will take effect when Schwarzenegger signs it Monday in Long Beach and soon will trigger widespread changes in how California treats claims of injured employees.
The overhaul guarantees immediate treatment for workers and a new, HMO- style system of doctor selection. In addition, lawmakers hope -- but have little assurance -- that it will save billions, entice more insurance firms to the state and drive down high premiums.
Backers of an alternative ballot measure that called for more far- reaching changes in the system said Friday they would not turn in more than 1 million signatures Schwarzenegger helped them gather, avoiding a costly ballot fight that both parties feared.
Critics of the bill included some legislators who felt its complicated provisions were given far too little public scrutiny, having passed committee at about 4 a.m. Thursday after about an hour of discussion. "No one has mentioned so far that we are voting on this with a gun to our heads," said Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Los Angeles, shortly before voting in favor of the bill.
Some Democrats also cited concern that savings would not be realized without some type of insurance industry regulation.
"I'm deeply saddened that we didn't finish the project by making sure that the insurance companies have to pass the savings on," said Sen. Richard Alarcon, D-Los Angeles, one of three senators who voted against the bill. "Somebody has to stand up and say that the insurance companies have to be held accountable."
On a largely party-line vote, the Democratic-controlled Assembly also passed a bill Friday that would set parameters for rates. The bill faces a likely veto if it reaches Schwarzenegger, but the proposal illustrates how close the insurance industry came to being regulated.
"I told (Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez) that I don't mind looking into the whole idea of rate regulation, because I'm open-minded about anything," Schwarzenegger said. "Finally, a few days ago, (Nunez) sent me some papers (about it). I said, look, this is not going to work. It always had a negative impact on business, and it chased away insurance companies."
He recounted telling Nunez pragmatically: "The Republicans are not going to go for it. If you want this bill to pass, drop it. And he did."
But Schwarzenegger, who repeatedly cited high premiums as "poison" to the state's business climate, said he would reconsider government intervention if rates didn't decline even after an anticipated return of competitiveness among insurance firms.
Regardless of their eventual impact, the purported reforms were seen Friday even among Democrats as a product of the governor's commanding presence and sensibilities.
While calling the now-defunct initiative drive "mean-spirited" and denying his party had caved in to the looming threat it provided, Nunez said legislators "ought to applaud (Schwarzenegger) for his steadfast efforts."
Schwarzenegger made an overhaul of workers' compensation a centerpiece of his recall campaign. In his State of the State address, he set a March 1 deadline -- the first of many -- for a bill to reach him and then began campaigning separately for a ballot initiative on the issue as talks moved slowly forward.
The message Friday was clear: His populist-themed, pass-it-or-else style is working and will continue.
"I like the idea of using the stick, and I like the idea of using deadlines," Schwarzenegger said. "Why would we hang here for the next two years to negotiate and debate over this issue?"
"I knew that March 1 was not a realistic deadline," he said, but "it made (legislators) serious. Immediately, the next day, they started to negotiate."
Ensuing talks brought the governor deep into Sacramento's world of secret closed-door talks, lobbyist-clogged hallways and 3 a.m. calls to the former actor's hotel suite to square away complex bill language, the flavor of which ran against his promise of open government.
"It's a very good point," Schwarzenegger said Friday. "I always did campaign saying let the sun shine in. The only thing is ... that sometimes you are on such deadlines. We had to make decisions very quickly. That's why there were no hearings."
Watchdog groups wondered how many lawmakers knew much of what they had sped into law. After the bill emerged Thursday, the nonpartisan Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights gave each legislator a statement that, along with a 12-question quiz, asked them to declare they had in fact read the bill.
None was returned Friday, said spokesman Douglas Heller. But the advocacy group received a call from Sen. Jackie Goldberg, D-Los Angeles, who told them she had made it through every last line of the 101-page bill.
She voted against it.

E-40: "'Dusted' is really a word we use like, 'Man that boy got dusted' or 'Somebody got dusted last night.' Like got smoked, got melted, got killed. Shit like that. I said I wanted to make a title called that and Mike Mosley had this one beat. He came over with Sam Bostic and he was like, 'You scared of this beat.' That's how we used to talk to each other to build up our confidence—we liked to challenge each other.
"He'd tell me, '40 you ain't gone smoke that beat, you ain't gone gas that beat. You ain't gone do a good job.' I'd be like, 'Yeah, thanks for the confidence. I'm gon' tear it up just cause you said I can't.' So he came over and forced it on me. He was like, 'This beat raw, you scared of it, you scared of it!' I said, 'You know how I am, Mike, you know I'm gonna tear this shit up. Watch!' So, we got up in the studio, we were in L.A. Pac came down to the studio, we had the beat already on deck. I had already did the concept. I knew who I was going to put on there, that shit was so local.
"But this is one of my great memories, Pac came out to the studio—I think it was Larrabee Studios—and the hook was already on there. I think Spice 1 had already did his verse. Pac was down at the studio and Pac said, 'Let me hear that shit.' I let him hear it. Pac said, 'That shit hard!' So Pac sat down, rolled him up one of them motherfucking swishers, had a pen and paper, and he wrote that shit so quick. It was like ten minutes, for real. And we gassed that motherfucker. We was drinking and shit right before that. Getting right."

In this article, you'll learn how to switch your campaign template.
Before You Start
Here are some things to know before you begin this process.
- We recommend that you save your original content as a template, or replicate it as a backup. Occasionally, we're unable to transfer all your content from one template to another.
- To help us move your content when switching templates, we recommend you make a minor edit, such as an added space, to each content block that has text.
- Depending on your plan, you may not have access to all of the template options. To find out what features are included in each plan, check out our pricing page.
Switch Templates
To switch your template in the Campaign Builder, follow these steps.
- In the Content section, click Edit Design.
- On the Template step, choose from the Layouts, Themes, Saved templates, or Campaigns tabs. Code your own templates don't preserve content during a switch.
- Select the template you want to use in the email campaign.
- In the About switching templates pop-up modal, click Change Template.
We'll do our best to place your original template's content in the new template of your choice.

Sydney Bioinformatics Research Symposium 2014
We're gearing up for SBRS 2014, the 4th exciting Bioinformatics Research Symposium for bioinformaticians and bioscientists in the Sydney region which will be held on Friday 7 November at the Charles Perkins Centre, The University of Sydney.
- We are thrilled that we will be hearing from systems biologist and freshly minted EMBL Australia Group Leader, Dr Ville-Petteri Makinen from SAHMRI (the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute)
- Due to popular demand (which, in itself, is a reflection of the high standard of presentations in previous years), we will be running a 1 hour Fast Forward session prior to lunch. We suspect that we'll have more applications than we can run in an hour and will be accepting them on a first-come, first-served basis. Anyone not making the cut will still be able to present their poster
- We are keeping presentation slots for early career researchers (within 5 years of PhD) and welcome your abstract submissions by Friday October 17. We aim to have several ECR talks, of at least 7 mins, the exact number and length of talk to be decided based on demand. As for the review process: the Organisers will be making selecting the presentations based on what is likely to be most engaging, enlightening and enjoyable AND most complementary to the rest of the days' presentations.
There are some more details below and these will be updated as speakers are confirmed.
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you. Please register below so we can ensure there are enough cucumber sandwiches and cups of tea!
All the best from the Sydney Bioinformatics Symposium Organisers
- Nicola Armstrong (University of Sydney/Garvan Institute)
- Joshua Ho (Victor Chang Institute)
- David Lovell (CSIRO/Australian Bioinformatics Network)
- Marc Wilkins (University of New South Wales)
- Jean Yang (University of Sydney)
Proudly supported by...
Program Outline
Now with added COMBINE goodness!
Students and early career researchers (and anyone else keen to join in!) are invited to join COMBINE for a fun night of bioinformatics trivia following the Symposium. Test your knowledge of bioinformatics, science and much more! Teams will be formed on the night, so your team will have a diverse range of backgrounds, just like working in real life. Points are on offer for both correct and hilariously incorrect answers with prizes at the end.
The event will run from 6pm at The Hampshire Hotel, 91 Paramatta Road, Camperdown. Please RSVP via this link by November 5 if you plan to attend.
What is a "Fast-forward" Poster Session?
Immediately before the poster session proper, "Fast-forward" is a way for the audience to find out more about the posters on show, and for the presenters to hone their skills in putting their points across in an interesting and engaging (and speedy!) way.
Based on previous years feedback, we provide the following detail
- Presenters have exactly 120 seconds to pitch their work to the audience
- Presenters can use any kind of presentation to do that
- In previous years, we had limited folks to one slide but, based on feedback, we're going to see how it works if we give folks more freedom
- If folks want to project PowerPoints or PDFs they can either provide them in advance (via DropBox) to be run on a Windows 7 machine, or spend some of their 120 seconds plugging in their own computer
- Presentations must be under 15Mb
- More than one presenter can speak, but the time limit remains the same
- As with last year, we will ask our three guest speakers to judge the best content, and best delivery
The prizes will again be truly awesome (quite possibly T-shirts) but honestly, the thrill is in participating and getting your work "out there".

The NSPCC is an independent charity. It means we can push for change when others can't, but it also means we rely on voluntary donations from the public.
We're always finding new and innovative ways to raise money – from Big Board Game Day to Go Green for Halloween, marathon runners to bake sales – it all adds up to help continue to fight for every childhood.
Here's how just some of the money raised can be spent:
- £25 could pay for a dolls house which children can use during counselling sessions to explain how they're feeling
- £150 could pay for us to answer 30 calls from adults and parents who phone the NSPCC helpline when they are worried about a child
- £400 could pay for a Childline counsellor to answer 100 calls from children who need us
It was an NSPCC TV advert when I had my first child that made me realise that not all children get the start in life that they deserve.
I am now very proud and privileged to be the NSPCC community fundraising manager and know that together we can make a change to the lives of children not just in Gloucestershire, but everywhere.
We can work together as a community to make sure every child in our area is cared for in the way they should be.
Childline is there for children and young people whatever their worry, whenever they need us. Childline is now available by phone, email, live chat and an app.
A child contacts Childline every 25 seconds and, right now, we can only respond to three out of every four children who need our help. This 30 year old service is needed now more than ever.
Together we can answer every call to the NSPCC helplines.
More and more people are spotting the signs of abuse and calling the adult helpline, so we can't afford to miss a single call. Our trained helpline practitioners are available 24/7 to do whatever it takes to protect children.
We can protect a generation of children through our Speak Out Stay Safe programme. Our workshops and assemblies deliver difficult information to children aged 4-11 in a way that's age-appropriate. Children may not know what's happening to them is wrong and that it is never their fault.
Without the support of our volunteers and the public, these services could not continue.
Volunteering for the NSPCC or joining a local group can be a lot of fun and you can make new friends in the process.
Chris Paisley, a community fundraising volunteer with the West Gloucestershire branch of the NSPCC, has been volunteering for more than 25 years. He said…
"I became involved with the NSPCC through my wife, who has been a long-standing supporter of the charity.
During that time I have been treasurer of the branch (eight years) and subsequently chairman of the branch (six years). I'm also the treasurer of the West Gloucestershire special events committee – a team that organises large, high income fundraising events.
Currently, while I'm still a volunteer, I'm also NSPCC divisional vice president for the South West and Channel Islands Region. These duties involve me supporting, encouraging and assisting fundraising volunteers throughout the region.
I am also chairman of the regional forum, which is an organisation representing the voice of local volunteers, forwarding issues and concerns to the board of trustees and receiving and broadcasting information from the board down to volunteers.
I feel passionately for the NSPCC and Childline's causes and aims, and the way we are able to help and protect children.
The work of the services centres and practitioners is second to none, and to hear survivors of abuse talk of the help and support they have received only makes me feel more passionate to raise funds."
The local branch is most active in organising fundraising events and in the near future we have these events coming up:
- Lydney Park Open Gardens – 9 April
- Music concert evening at St Lawrence Church, Barnwood, Gloucester – 7 July
- Queen tribute band at Highnam Court, Highnam, Gloucester – 15 July
- Bluebird Ball at The Pump Room in Cheltenham – 25 November
For details go to www.nspcc.org.uk or call the support office on 02920 108133.
Anyone interested in fundraising or volunteering can email Caroline on firstname.lastname@example.com.
