Sorry :/
When you're in bed with a guy. You're all tucked in for the night, under the covers. You're talking about your day and what happened. Then just as you're about to go to bed, you start kissing softly; quickly you bring your bodies together to fill the space between you two. You just want to feel the warmth of their body against yours as your kissing as you drift off to sleep…
When a cheetah runs fast, it uses its tail to help them steer - like the rudder of a boat.
Jaguar means, "A wild beast that can kill it prey with a single pounce."
Sorry, this doesn't happen often and I will not often be posting messages saying this, but I'm so excited and you guys keep me motivated!

There are more insects in 10 square feet of the rain forest than there are people in Manhattan.
A pig's orgasm can last up to 30 minutes.
Thank you thank you thank you everyone for your support! More research is being done so that I can entertain you with more interesting animal facts :)
Thank god I am currently unemployed, because making and producing a blog that has to keep a certain standard is like a job! ….and I love it!
If you have any suggestions, comments, or animals that you want me to find out interesting facts about them, feel free to ask me!
Xx, Taylor

Barolo Collina Rionda 93, B Giacosa
Lightest in color of the initial 3-bottle flight, slightly brown as well. Some mushrooms with the usual tarry undertones, obviously mature fruit to me. Slightly floral with some wet earth as well. Good acids with tannins that are starting to mature, good length with some leathery aftertones, fine balance and obviously (though surprisingly so) caught on top.
Barolo Brunate 89, R Voerzio
Medium deep color with hints of mahogany. Deep nose, very fruity. Very young to taste with pronounced aniseed/liquorice and some flowers, also raspberry and monumental tannins. Good concentration and outstanding length. Caught ten years too early but still amazing.
Barolo Brunate 90, Bricco Rocce
Dense color with some brown. Quite warm nose with tars and strawberries, delicate. But quite light in the mouth, lacks a little stuffing and consequently also lacking slightly in the finish. Some dried, pruney fruits on both nose and taste. Drinks as well as it ever will now I guess.
Barolo Bussia 89, A Conterno
Beautiful nose, sweet, red berries with some vanilla and minerals. Dense with good, red color, "bricky". Monumental tannins, reminds me slightly of the taste of Bird Cherries (prunus padus) with some strawberries as well on the finish. Primary, tight and well structured with well integrated tannins. The big boys in Barolo from the 89 vintage obviously isn't ready for prime time yet. Hope they will achieve a proper balance with additional time.
Barolo Faletto de Serralunga 88, Giacosa
Very light in color. Some liquorice and mushrooms on the nose, but also dried meat. Good balance and mature tannins but nothing to write home about.
Barolo Mentin Ginestra 85, Dom Clerico
Obviously caught on peak. Brigt red with only slight browning. Earthy, slightly tarry, still quite primary on the nose. Mature tannins, glorious fruit and fine balance, raspberry acidic with hints of liquorice/salty sweets on the finish. Ultrafine balance. Though some hints of butterscotch prevents this from being unconditionally superb.
Barbaresco 85, Contratto
Brownish and clear. Good tannins hear, but obviously slightly underfruited compared to the preceding Clerico. Also more liquoricey sweets here. Slightly square and rough tannins too, and I would have preferred more fruit on the finish. Contratto hasn't quite hit the balance in this wine.
Barolo 85, Monchiero
Some mushrooms. Light colour and slightly brown. Some dried fruits and liquorice on the nose. Sweet spices. Very mature tannins that are well melted into the fruit of the wine, good length and seductive balance, slight liquorice on the finish as well. Very good (indeed).
Barbaresco Montefico 78, Produttori
Nice red color. Lots of primary fruit here, red berries, strawberries as well as raspberries. Notes of minerals and aniseed, really excellent acidity. Great fruit and very transparent. Cherries and fruit stones on the finish. Really excellent. I consistently find Montefico among Produttoris 2 or 3 greatest crus.
Barolo Marcenasco 78, Ratti
Slightly red, pure and transparent color. Really intense fruit on the nose, sweet and seductive. Excellent acids, fresh and long aftertaste. Slightly easier and less intense than the Montefico, but still very good wine.
Barolo 71, Fratelli Barale
Bad cork. Good color but slightly dusty nose, some wax on the nose, still some strawberries and fine acids, but probably a damaged bottle.
Barolo Monfortino 74, G Conterno
Intensely red. Also intense, strawberry dominated nose. Quite primary still, transparent fruit. Raspberries in the mouth, some truffles. Amazingly well balanced length with sour cherries and hints of acidic green apples on the finish. Terrific.
Barbaresco 67, Gaja
Light and translucent red. Raspberry, prunes and some rhubarb on the nose. Not much tannins left, but nicely acidic and fresh, slightly light on the taste and though good not to the level of the Montefico 78. But light and elegant with a really nice sweet and sour touch to the finish.
Barolo 64, Pio Cesare
Incredibly light, even for a Nebbiolo as old as this. Fudge and figs on the nose. Have tasted bottles of this with more fruit left than in this bottle. Still some sweet fruits to taste though. Slightly woody and alcoholic finish.
Barolo 64, Serafina
Bad cork. Dark and rich color though with good density. Dark mahogany. Pronounced coffee on the nose though. Acidic and fresh to taste, with wet forest floor aromas. Good length, some earthiness. Excellent fruit on the finish, with hints of dried, tropical fruits. Could have done with less coffee on the nose though.
Barolo 58, Fontanafredda
Light, brown color, though still darker than the Pio Cesare. Have had fruitier bottles of this though. Truffles on the nose, hints of figs, but also some dried meat, but not offputtingly so. Dries figs on the finish as well. Still decent fruit on the finish. And neither of the two 58 Fontanafreddas I've had could stand up to a glorious Fontanafredda 1943 I had in Piemonte in 2005.

Day two of the season can be a hard game for anyone. The pomp and circumstance and anticipation of Opening Day have passed and players have to start getting in the mentality of the long grind that is the minor league season. Fortunately the lag was not enough from keeping the Myrtle Beach Pelicans from winning their second game of the season against the Wilmington Blue Rocks.
Starting pitcher Roman Mendez came out on fire, striking out the side. He pitched 6 innings collecting 9 strikeouts. In his start he gave up a mere 3 hits and an unearned run, all of which occurred in the 4th inning after a dropped third strike strikeout allowed Wilmington to mount an offensive charge that ended in the unearned run. In relief came Francisco Mendoza and Ben Rowen who in 3 innings combined for 1 hit, 2 walks and 2 strikeouts.

With just two weeks left in the regular season, the Denver Outlaws have clinched the top spot for the MLL Championship weekend and are chasing history to become the first team in league history to have an undefeated season. Sitting at 12-0, the Outlaws defeated the Chesapeake Bayhawks in a tightly contested game that saw Chesapeake jump out to an early lead only to fall short in the final quarter. In the losing effort, Drew Westervelt scored a game high four goals for the Bayhawks.
The Hamilton Nationals secured their place in the Championship weekend, defeating the Boston Cannons 17-12 and distancing Boston from an opportunity to play in the post-season. The Nationals got plenty of help from Wings players, as Jordan Hall has two goals and Kevin Crowley added one to remain in second place in the scoring race. For the Cannons, Kevin Buchanan contributed two goals and an assist while Paul Rabil had a goal to maintain his lead in the scoring race.
USA lacrosse announced their list of 98 players they will be inviting to try out for the 2014 2014 FIL World Championship which will take place in Denver next year on Labor Day.

The nation keeps learning more about the National Rifle Association. First came the bizarre, animated press conference at which its vice president, Wayne LaPierre, insisted that "good guys" be armed to protect themselves from bad guys with guns. Then, last Sunday, NRA president David Keene blithely vowed to block all progress on gun control in Congress, as if issuing orders to an army of robot congressmen. And now comes an NRA video calling President Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for having Secret Service protection for his daughters while failing to embrace the NRA's demand for armed guards in every school. It's been a lesson that voters shouldn't forget — about the extremism of the NRA's gun advocacy; about the extent to which certain powerful lobbies have twisted feckless politicians around their fingers; and about how crass the NRA can be in attacking those who dare to defy it.
On Tuesday, Obama signed executive orders to tighten the federal background check system, beef up firearms tracing, and study gun violence through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As expected, he urged Congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban, require criminal background checks for all gun sales, and limit the sale of high-capacity clips. All are sensible measures that do little to disrupt any law-abiding person who wishes to buy a gun for hunting, collecting, target practice, or self-protection.

Joseph Yearby, a 5-9, 190-pound All-State running back from state champion Miami Central, switched his nonbinding oral commitment from Florida State to the University of Miami on Tuesday, adding his name to what is becoming a stellar 2014 recruiting class for the Hurricanes.
Yearby, a Seminoles commitment since May 2012, said he flipped to the Canes because of his connection to former Florida State offensive coordinator James Coley, who took over the same job at Miami last month.
Ranked as a four-star prospect by 247Sports.com and ranked the 66th best player in the country in the 2014 class, Yearby ran for 2,160 yards and 24 touchdowns as a sophomore, and had 1,448 yards and 20 touchdowns in leading the Rockets to the state title as a junior in December.
Miami Central coach Telly Lockette, interviewed by UM for its running backs job this month before the team promoted Hurlie Brown to the position, was surprised to learn the news Tuesday. He said he's in Oregon for a coaching convention.
"I was surprised to hear it," Lockette said. "Obviously we all know what a great kid and what a great talent Joe is."
UM now has four touted commitments as part of its 2014 class — and all of them are local. The others: Miami Central offensive tackle Trevor Darling (6-5, 300), Hialeah quarterback Alin Edouard (6-2, 180) and West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman receiver Travis Rudolph (6-1, 185).

ATLANTA (AP) - The youngest daughter of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. hailed the inauguration of the nation's first black president to a new term as one of the achievements made possible by the civil rights struggle her father helped lead decades ago.
Bernice King spoke at an Atlanta service Monday on the federal King holiday, urging Americans to draw inspiration from her slain father's nonviolent campaign after a difficult year of military conflicts abroad and natural disasters at home.
Monday's King holiday coincided with celebrations of President Barack Obama's inauguration to a second term in Washington. Many paused to take stock of the progress made by the country since the 1960s fight to end racial segregation - and of challenges ahead as Obama assumed a second term.

UPDATE: Judge Sell rules the $350,000 bond for Richard Manning is reasonable, and has said that Manning's family may now visit him at Erlanger
Richard Manning, the man charged with criminal homicide in a shooting last week, has been hospitalized since Friday and missed his first court appearance Monday.
Manning's son spoke to Judge Christine Sell Monday morning about his hospitalized father, saying "He's a good man and has always been law-abiding."
PREVIOUS STORY | Man charged in apparent road rage shooting
Sheriff Hammond says Richard Manning is currently in "serious condition" at Erlanger. He is under the watch of an armed guard."It's very expensive for us to have any prisoner at a hospital. It is our obligation to keep him in custody." said Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Hammond.
Manning's brother told the court Richard has a history of health problems including multiple strokes and at least two heart attacks.
Judge Sells heard both sides Monday with testimony from the Manning family and the victim's fiance.
"I ask prayers for Richard's family and the family of this young man and that justice will be done," said Father Nathan Brooks.
Father Nathan Brooks is Manning's best friend of 30 years said he's praying for justice.
But does justice have a chance?
Manning's family said he could be near death.
"Mr. Manning's at Erlanger and I'd be surprised if he left the hospital so they can at least visit with him. They haven't seen him since Thursday," said Llyod Levitt.
Attorney Llyod Levitt called Monday's hearing an overall win for the Manning family.
A preliminary hearing is set for January 28.
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

The New York Mets and free-agent Curtis Granderson have agreed on a four-year deal, sources tell FOX 5 News.
The now former NY Yankees outfielder will reportedly be paid $60M.
Granderson, 32, suffered a broken forearm and pinkie injury limiting his play during the 2013 season.
Word of Granderson's deal comes on the same day as free-agent and second baseman Robinson Cano, 30, agreed to a 10-year deal with the Seattle Mariners worth $240M.

MEMO: Office Microwave Is A Mess
Microwave ovens are a breeding ground for bacteria -- how can you clean yours up?
Jeanie Lerche Davis
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD
Miss Manners, why do people let our office microwave oven get so filthy?
Go ahead; heat your lunch -- if you dare. All that muck and mire stuck to the microwave oven is enough make anyone a raw food fanatic.
One friend, now a work-at-home mother, remembers well the microwave at her former job. "It was disgusting, and what's more, it smelled, and that's really unappetizing. There were fingerprints all over it, and the pushbuttons were filthy."
In fact, "if the health inspector came to your house or office, I doubt it would pass ... a microwave can get pretty disgusting," says Beth Kitchin, MS, RD, professor of nutrition sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, tells WebMD.
"People are so afraid of food poisoning in restaurants, but studies have shown that our own kitchens are much worse than any restaurant," she says.
Not that the crusty stuff inside a microwave will poison you. When you blast something in the microwave oven, you do kill bacteria, says Kitchin. "Cooking is one of the best ways tokill bacteria. I've seen reports that 70% of raw chicken has campylobactor bacteria. When you cook it thoroughly, it's unlikely that bacteria would survive."
Some tips:
To prevent splatters, don't forget to cover your food, advises Laura Molseed, RD, a dietitian with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center:

Usher's "cutting you loose via legal document" comeback single "Papers" was pretty awesome, an incendiary throw-down that was right back in Confessions mode. Unfortunately, for the follow-up single, he's enlisted the knob-twiddler RedOne, who is fresh off assisting in the ruination of the Sugababes—and, well, the results are predictably ugh-worthy. "Rock Band," which unfortunately does use the ever-stale "rock" as a verb describing his bedroom technique (over and over and over again) feels like a step back to the worst parts of his previous album, the sorta-floppy Here I Stand, with its inert production and cliched lyrics that compare his prowess to the stylings of Jimmy Page ("on the guitar") and Mick Jagger ("on the mic"). Not to mention—if you're going to talk about your oral technique in big-name musician terms, shouldn't you be comparing yourself to Gene Simmons? [RedOne]

I purchased this light as a replacement for the one stolen from my car. It worked just fine out of the box.
This was a Christmas present for our son. He was quite pleased with it and showed us its power this evening. We could see clearly for a long distance. Thanks
Upon opening the light installing batteries the light did not function at all and in the process of beinng returned
It works, but its not a replacement for the guidegear light I was hoping to replace with it. This thing was 20 bucks less and I only got it because I cant get the guidegear light they used to sell here on SG. But any way, its a decent light but there is no way its actually 800 lumins. I just got a 500 lumin light at costco and it is significantly brighter, I got 2 for 25 bucks..... I will not be buying another one of these, but its not so bad that ill send it back.
Now this is a nice flashlight. I love the dimmer adjustment on the flashlight. The flashlight adjust for 800 lumen to 400 lumen with the press of a button.

This group was involved in the creation of the Utah Compact in 2010, which fought against state-based enforcement legislation in favor of a federal reform. And on Wednesday, they said the time is ripe in part because of the last presidential election, where Obama received 71 percent of the Latino vote.
"It has been my party, Republicans and conservatives, who killed this effort last time," Shurtleff said. "We can no longer let those shrill voices be the voices of the Republican Party."

Salt Lake Chamber President Lane Beattie recently blasted Hatch and Lee for signing a letter demanding a lengthy legislative process with numerous hearings, suggesting it might be time to replace them.
Hatch did sign that letter in late March and almost immediately backed away from it, saying even before Beattie's criticisms that what he wants is for the bill to follow normal congressional procedures.
The bill is going through normal procedures. Hearings are slated for Friday and Monday and the committee will debate amendments to the bill throughout May. Lee still considers the process rushed and warned that doing so could lead to unintended consequences.
Beattie took a more conciliatory tone Wednesday, saying he has been in conversation with the senators' staffs and understands they are engaged in the issue. But he also said it's the job of reform supporters to keep the pressure on Utah's congressional delegation, none of whom have supported comprehensive reform.
"This is the time to step forward and help us as a community and certainly as a state to move this thing forward," he said.
But many Republicans in Utah remain unconvinced the nation should support an immigration bill that doesn't require people here illegally to leave before reentering through regular channels.
Former state Rep. Carl Wimmer said he would oppose the compromise and hopes that Utah's federal lawmakers do too.
"For adults who chose to come here illegally and take advantage of the welfare system of this country, I'm not a fan of any time of legal status or pathway to citizenship," he said.

Royce da 5'9" - Street Hop
Production: Carlos Broady, Denaun Porter, DJ Premier, Emile, Frequency, Nottz, Quincy Tones, Raf Moses, Streetrunners
Lead Single: Shake This
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 11 total votes )
If there's one thing you can depend on in the music industry, it's that every album will get pushed back. Nothing ever gets released when the labels first say, but there's a specific type of album that's so delayed, so "long-awaited," that it takes on a life of its own, becoming almost mythological, like Bigfoot or a top-ten Fat Joe record. These albums are, as I like to call them, historically delayed. And not just any album gets to call itself historically delayed. Sure we've been waiting for the Clipse's Till the Casket Drops for …
DJBooth Album Review
Seven years since the release of his first album and four years since his last, Royce is finally back in full force with the release of Street Hop, a project fans of the concrete hard Detroit MC have been waiting for anxiously. Street Hop is the work of a man who, when he finally gets in front of the mic, deserves to be one of the most feared MCs in the game. Unless Street Hop suddenly morphs into Salma Hayek and starts giving me a backrub, it's hard for me to say the four years was worth the wait, but I can say that no one will walk away from Street Hop disappointed. And after all this time, that's really more than enough.
If we're going to start at the beginning we really need to start with Shake This, an ill track that has to be considered the album's lead single even though it dropped almost a year ago. Regardless, Shake This is a perfect track to set the stage for Street Hop. Over a beautifully constructed beat from DJ Premier, Royce addresses his inner demons head on, laying out his battle with alcoholism and his recent incarceration. Now Royce may be the only rapper in history to make a track titled Shake This that wasn't about booty, but more importantly, Shake This shows that while Royce rightfully deserves to be called a battle rapper, he's got some legit story telling skill as well. Shake This isn't the album's only moment of vulnerability, but it's close. On The Run is a deeply cinematic tale that's captivating, and Part of Me might just be the closest thing he's ever done to a serious love song, a topic he frankly doesn't do particularly well. The moments on Street Hop where we get to see the man behind the rapper are rare, but they're easily the album's most fascinating. If only there were more of them.
Tracks like Shake This and On the Run are much more the exception than the rule on Street Hop. The rule? Outright aggression. Just take Gun Harmonizing, a track that's been tearing up the internet thanks to Royce's automatic weapon vocal effects and equally high caliber rhymes. Actually, come to think of it Gun Harmonizing isn't nearly the album's hardest track (it does have a piano and flute on the beat). Dinner Time is probably a much better example of Royce's verbal aggression; just check his sharply precise flow driven by the kinetic energy of Quincey Tones' production. Still, Dinner Time is only a hint at how hard Street Hop can get. You know what? Let's stop messing around and just get to The Warriors, a banger that brings on his Slaughterhouse fam for a unrelenting but still lyrically deep track that's an absolute monster. Royce da 5'9" has repeatedly said he is not to be f**ked with, and Street Hop is his proof that such boasts aren't threats, they're promises.
Given how long Street Hop took to put together it's not surprising that the album lacks a sense of cohesion (I'm still cringing after the painful Thing For Your Girlfriend and the forced Bad Boy), but on the whole hip-hop should welcome Street Hop with open arms. Let's just hope the next time around we don't have to wait so long. The game needs Royce da 5'9" now, not later. One historically delayed album was enough.

|"You're So Gay!": Do Different Forms of Bullying Matter for Adolescent Males?
|Swearer, Susan M.; Turner, Rhonda K.; Givens, Jami E.; Pollack, William S.
This study examined effects of adolescent males' perceptions of being bullied because of verbal taunts related to gender nonconformity (i.e., "They say I'm gay"). Participants included 251 ninth- (n = 77), tenth- (n = 96), and eleventh- (n = 78) grade students in a private, all-male college preparatory school. Participants were divided into two groups based on whether they were bullied by being called gay. Out of the 251 participants, 121 (48%) reported having been bullied and 127 (50%) stated that they had not been bullied during the past year (2% did not report). Of the 121 participants who had been bullied, 32 (26%) reported that they had been bullied because others called them gay (Group 1) and 89 (74%) reported that they had been bullied for other reasons, exclusive of being called gay (Group 2). Consistent with predictions, the boys who were bullied because they were called gay experienced greater psychological distress, greater verbal and physical bullying, and more negative perceptions of their school experiences than boys who were bullied for other reasons. Implications for school-based intervention services for bullying are discussed.

Library staff can conduct sessions with your class tailored to a variety of courses and assignments.
Requesting a Session
Library Instruction Request Form
Please allow us at least two week's notice to prepare for your class instruction. Prior to the session we will review relevant course materials, prepare a class plan, and go over the class content and format with you. We encourage you to schedule sessions around the time you distribute an assignment to increase student motivation and learning. Plan to be present at the instruction session. Your input stresses the importance of research instruction and enhances the session.
Session Basics
With your input, library staff will design instruction sessions to support course objectives, incorporate information literacy competency standards, complement the syllabus, and prepare students for written or studio research assignments. Successful sessions are usually linked to a specific assignment at the time your students begin their research. Sessions are held in your classroom, so that we may use the overhead projector. We ask you to encourge students to bring their own mobile devices the day of the session (laptops, tablets, or smartphones). Depending on the topic covered, sessions can take from 15-90 minutes. Below are some sample sessions to provide ideas about what can be covered and the length of time needed.
Librarians are also available to consult with a faculty member on the development of research assignments in order to clarify possible information sources or potential roadblocks.
Sample Sessions

- An overview of the Library's collections
- Points of service, e.g., borrowing material, information desk, course reserves, photocopying and scanning
- An overview of the Library's website contents, e.g., online catalog, research and images databases, virtual reference services
- Interpreting call numbers to find material
Introduction to Research
These sessions can be a basic introduction to library research or can be tailored to meet the needs of a specific project or class. At least 60 minutes should be alloted for these sessions which can include:
- Advanced searching strategies in the Corcoran Library Online Catalog
- Using subscription databases such as JSTOR and Art Full Text effectively
- How to evaluate websites and other free online resources
- Group exercises to gain experience using library resources (requires students to bring their own mobile devices)
Image Resource Instruction
An in-depth look at how to find images using both print and web-based resources. These 60 minute or longer sessions can include:
- Locating images in print based materials

How much of a right do students have to questioning and independent thinking?
What is your opinion on how much students should be allowed to question? Do they have the right to question if they may see a logical fallacy? If so, how far are they allowed to question it? Why?
In addition: I understand teachers try to allow students to question, but sometimes are limited by the administration (and/or bureaucracy). Why is this?

Jan 14 2013: As an educator, I believe students have all the right to question and to make logical conclusions. This type of thinking is how our country got out of tyranny and became independent from the British Empire. This type of thinking gave us the Bill of Rights, the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, and acts that were made law to help us in our quest for understanding. Students need to question everything so they can decide what is ethical and what is not. This is how they learn and become independent thinkers in this society.

The Mamas & Papas Skate Combination is a pram and pushchair you can switch around with ease
Mamas & Papas Skate Combination
In action
Although the Skate looks big, its aluminium body and the suspension and pneumatic bounce in the rear wheels make it super-easy to move around. Admittedly, petite women may find it a bit of a handful, but for those looking for a combination that can be used as a travel system, this is much less heavy and far more easy to manoeuvre than many other models on the market. The handlebar having a soft-grip finish and being a single bar across the back also help make it easier to handle.
We like the fact that the pram body converts to the pushchair seat without having to remove bits and pieces and the fact that in both modes it can be used with your child facing you or facing forward. (In early months parent-facing is strongly recommended, but as your child grows he or she will want to look ahead in the direction of travel.)
The pram, pushchair and even in travel system setting with the Primo Viaggio can all be adjusted to sit higher or lower on the chassis which we also really like. Too often you see parents with other makes of pram with their baby down at car-fumes level or older children being pushed around facing forward but so high they look like they are in a shopping trolley!
It's a bit disappointing that this combination doesn't come with a fully-formed basket, but the net under the pram or pushchair is useful for containing your own bags and there is plenty of room here to get quite a lot of stuff stashed away. This is really useful in the early months when new babies require all kinds of changing paraphernalia to be kept to hand at all times.
Being able to use this Combination as a pram or pushchair without having to take off or add extra bits makes this a great model for traveling (if you have the boot space in your car). Also, though you can store the Skate really small by removing the wheels etc, you can collapse it easily with the seat in it and it's free-standing when folded which is great for putting it away in the cupboard.
Being able to recline the seat into three positions makes it useful from birth until around three years (max weight of child should be 15kg), to suit all sizes and needs.
Nice little touches also include the gate-opening style of the bumper across the front of the pushchair which can make it easier to get your child in and out.
At £580 this is not a cheap option. However, for this end of the market, this is a flexible model that you may well find more useful for longer than other travel systems or combinations available.
For some people, pneumatic tyres make it a comfortable ride for their child and an easy push, but some people prefer solid wheels so they don't have the faff of pumping the tyres up. This is something to consider before you make your choice and is down to personal preference.
Colours and accessories
The Skate comes with a zip-on raincover, a pump for the rear tyres, and fittings for the (optional) car seat all included. You can buy the Primo Viaggio IP car seat (£110) which is compatible with the Skate to create a travel system. The Primo Viaggio IP weighs 4.5kg.
The Skate comes in three colourways: Lime or Mandarin (which is black with a bright green or bright orange interior), or Indigo Denim (which has a denim exterior and a stripy interior). The denim or ebony changing bags are available at £50 each to go with both Skate exterior colours.
The ThinkBaby verdict
I really like the concept of this pushchair but my main concern is the storage space. The price is quite high but the pushchair will last for a while.

Local dog's death underscores dangers of leaving animals in hot cars
National initiative gives residents tools to avoid further tragedies
Jacksonville, FL — The Animal Protection Institute (API), a national non-profit animal welfare group, today asked Jacksonville area residents to join its summer initiative, "My Dog is Cool", and help save dogs from dying in hot cars. Educational information, lifesaving tips, and specifics on what people can do to help animals in hot cars can be found on the web site www.MyDogIsCool.com.
API's request to the Jacksonville community is spurred by the recent deaths of three puppies left inside a car while their owner reportedly attended a baseball game. The owner is now facing animal cruelty charges.
"As the summer heats up, it's important once again that people be made aware of the dangers of leaving companion and service animals inside hot cars," says API's Chief Executive Officer Michelle Thew. "People mean well by taking their dog along with them while they work, shop, or run errands, but warm weather can literally turn a comfortable car into a death trap for dogs."
Every year, countless dogs die after being locked inside cars while their guardians leave them, often for "just a few minutes." These deaths are tragedies that occur with alarming frequency, yet are completely preventable.
A Stanford University test found that, even if it's only 72 degrees outside, a car's internal temperature can rocket to 116 degrees within an hour. Hundreds of beloved canine companions are unintentionally killed or injured each year by being left in hot cars, even with windows cracked and only for a short time.
In most cities and states, laws don't exist to explicitly prohibit an animal from being kept in a hot car. API is also working through legislative avenues to address this issue directly including introducing legislation in the state of California that would make it unlawful to leave a companion animal unattended in a motor vehicle under conditions that could endanger the animal's health. This bill has passed the California Senate and has broad base legislative support.
The Animal Protection Institute is a national nonprofit animal advocacy organization working to end animal cruelty and exploitation through legislation, litigation and public education. API's national My Dog Is Cool initiative is backed by Nissan and Better World Club, both companies with track records of caring for animals who accompany their drivers. Nissan and Better World Club are working with API to spread the message about the dangers of leaving dogs in hot cars and encourage other car manufacturers and traveler's services companies to join the My Dog Is Cool initiative.

The Power of Active Listening in Family Relationships
Want a powerful way to boost your family relationships? Try listening! See what constitutes a good listener and how to foster great communication with your children.
Listen Up!
Some of my most treasured memories center around family meals, with my father presiding at the head of the table, my mom to his right and my grandfather, who lived with us, enriching our lives with his gentle humor and wisdom, to his left. The four children brought up the "rear," doing our share of squabbling, under-the-table kicking, and spilling drinks, yet being honored with the best gift our parents could ever give us: active listening.
Skillfully, my parents would steer the conversation to each person's activities, asking insightful questions about their day and stimulating discussions. This occasioned much laughter as we tried to outdo each other in making anecdotes of mundane events, soul-searching, when forks in life that required big decisions were reached, and sometimes tears, when emotions knifed their way to our dinner table.
Family meals were not the only time for conversation, but yes, they were a daily event that I took for granted until I had my own family and realized the amount of love and effort it took for my parents to create and sustain that atmosphere in my childhood home. Now it's my turn to keep up the tradition with my husband and our own four children.
What Constitutes Good Listening?
When I interviewed children for an answer to that question, all agreed on a simple, basic truth: listening is paying attention and not interrupting. Distinguished from the passive activity of hearing, listening involves focusing intent attention on the speaker, and concentrating on correctly interpreting what is being said.
Harvey Mackay, author of Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive, in his article "Listening is the Hardest of the 'Easy' Tasks," defines good listening as, "Paying attention to context as well as content. A listener who can paraphrase what you've said without changing your meaning is a great listener. A listener who merely can repeat your words is a parrot."
Family Communication and Relationships
Parents often wonder why their children will not talk to them and what they can do to improve their relationships with their kids. The comment they frequently make to express their bewilderment at a non-communicative relationship is: "But I gave them everything!"
Yet what this often means is: "I bought them everything money could buy…" And the one thing that cannot be bought is time. For parents, time alone with their children means a chance to listen to their needs and concerns, and respond.
Creating Opportunities
Although the best conversations may come about spontaneously, a little careful planning and engineering can create help create opportunities for good conversations.
The casual dinner (or lunch, if that's when your family eats the main meal of the day) is great, but if you want to start it off with a game to give it a little boost, try writing individual questions on pieces of paper (or draw a picture for little children), folding them up, then passing them around in a plate for each person to pick out a question and take turns answering or discussing. If your kids are old enough, each person can "lead" the family discussion or conversation by taking turns writing the questions. One rule that can be made is to avoid "yes" or "no" questions, focusing instead on ones that will require elaboration.
When I lived in Paradise, California, I tried to take my boys individually on Saturday morning outings, when my husband was available to do something special with the son whose turn it was to stay with him. We'd start out at a coffee shop for doughnuts and a drink, "hang out" and chat for a while about whatever came to mind, then go browsing at the library, used book stores, or garage sale specials. Nothing extraordinary in itself, yet what was truly extraordinary was what those moments alone did for our relationship. I don't know who treasured those one-on-one moments more, my sons or me.
Bryan Bell, author of Lessons in Lifemanship followed a similar practice of taking one of his five children out to dinner each week on a rotating basis. "It provided a very different kind of relationship than when I was the referee at the dining room table trying to stop the kicking under the table and all those peculiar activities that siblings seem to find necessary."
Another enjoyable activity Bell engaged in was to use a tape recorder to interview his kids for the "radio audience," asking his young children for their opinions on a wide range of topics ranging from global warming to world peace prospects. Responding to the delight and amazement that the youngsters' responses illicited in their parent, the kids said: "Nobody ever asked them for their opinions before on such serious matters."
As normal as most of the distracting, bickering activities between siblings are, they can effectively inhibit family communication, more so in large families where each child subconsciously vies for the parent's attention using every gimmick ever invented.

Kundalini Anyone?

Ok Rick....I'll go!
I have had several distinct Kundalini experiences and also more frequent, milder variations of it.
The first one when I was about 10 years old. Of course I did not know what it was when I was 10, but looking back on that experience after having some more intense ones in adulthood I think that that was probably when it first awakened.
For me the more mild movement is a gentle and involuntary rocking.....it seems to be forward and backward...not side to side. That happens often in my meditations.
The more extreme is the slight rocking followed by a burning sensation going up the spine. It actually does hurt or more like it is uncomfortable but with that comes feelings of unconditional love and euphoria. That is when the visions come of beings in white light. Also, the first time that happened I had energy centers in the front of my ankles open just before the burning in the spinal column. By that time I had felt every one of my Chakras open, during meditations or when giving readings, including some that most people don't work with, but I had no idea that we even had energy centers in the front of the ankles, so that was a surprise.
The burning sensation will last for about 1/2 hour or so, but the euphoria can last 24 hours. Everytime you take a breath in through your nose it is bliss. Also, usually everything in my vision...with my two eyes, not my third eye... is heightened. All the colors are more vivid and everything is sharper.
AND I swear...no drugs involved!! LOL

We interrupt the defensive coordinator discussion to bring you a basketball blog. Hey, it's how we roll. And I'll be brief, since I'm about to pack it up from Richmond and drive down to Raleigh-Durham area this lovely Friday afternoon.
Oops, I suppose I should say Chapel Hill.
In the meantime, I'll use this cyberspace to throw out a few things I think Tech needs to do to beat Carolina. Granted, Tech hasn't won at UNC since 1996, having lost the last 12 in the home of baby blue. And last year the Yellow Jackets got blown out 104-74.
But this isn't quite your national championship caliber Tar Heel team. Gone are Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, and Danny Green – they took 430 career starts and some 8,000 points with them. But the ACC writers group still picked UNC and Duke to finish in a tie for first place in the ACC.
NC news outlets just reported today that UNC backup forward Tyler Zeller is out four to six weeks with a stress fracture in his right foot. He didn't play against Clemson. His absence gives Gani Lawal and Derrick Favors that much more room to maneuver inside, though with both Ed Davis and Deon Thompson lurking in the paint, Tech is still going to have its best interior matchup Saturday since the Florida State game.
The Seminoles neutralized Tech's inside game on Dec. 20. In case you don't remember it right off, that's the game when Favors was limited to eight points on 4-for-8 shooting and Lawal had only four points on 1-for-7 shooting. Both of those guys, especially Lawal, is playing at a different level right now. Lawal has ranged out to about 15 feet, not afraid to try the turnaround jumper, when things get crowded in the low post. And more often than not he's hitting it. He needs to get back right at the free throw line tomorrow.
And Derrick Favors needs to be as involved in Tech's offense as he was in the first half against Virginia. He scored 10 points in the first half, dunking two or three times, finding that backside rebound and putting it to good use.
As always it's guard play that will be the key to taking advantage of those two guys inside. Mfon Udofia and Iman Shumpert played better floor games against Virginia but were both quick to fire up 3s late in the game when Paul Hewitt wanted them to work the ball around, and at least have it kicked back out to them before they launched it up.
It might be a nice idea for Tech to come into this game tomorrow and press early and often: it worked against Duke, if for no other reason than it got Tech playing with energy right from the start. Carolina is young on the perimeter and coming off a game in which it committed 26 turnovers at Clemson.
There you have it. I gotta hit the road. More tomorrow from the Dean Dome.

lets go tech! beat UNC!

You can talk about all of the strategy in the world when these two teams match up. In truth, take the time over the last 4 years and just examine the record on the road for Hewitt's Jackets. The words are: dreadful, unprepared, soft, sloppy, inconsistent, and poorly coached. The season is so entirely predictable! Win one at home, lose to a lesser team at home, win a big one, and then lose to another poor team. All the people need to see is what the hiring of a good coach {PJ} can do to create winning and enthusiasm. When was the last home game at GT that really mattered? When was the last home game at GT where a championship was on the line?
January 15th, 2010
3:20 pm
I predict 26 turnovers, 2 for 10 from 3 point land, 8 for 30 from the line. No time outs left with 2:45 left in the game. Trouble inbounding the ball will account for 2 of the timeouts.
UNC by 25.

What Hewitt magic in the last 5 years convinces me that he can win consistenly? Hmmmm… I was actually surprised that we beat Duke a week ago because this is still a Hewitt-coached team. We'll go 7-9 in the ACC this year a be a "bubble" team, even with all the talent we have simply because we have an idiot for a coach. And then next year, CPH will have another built-in excuse for losing because most of the talent will leave after this season…oh well.

UNC won't win by 25. They'll win by 15, but not 25.
82-67 UNC….or worse. They are going to squeeze us back into the paint and make us chuck from the cheap seats.
January 15th, 2010
7:21 pm
I used to defend Hewitt…I was ready to fight two knuckleheads at the bar while standing up for him three years ago. But…no more. Hewitt obviously has not adequately worked on his chosen craft of coaching. How do I know he hasn't? Check the scoreboard. Check the standings. Check his won-loss record after this season. I can no longer make excuses for the man. He does not spend the time studying and learning how to be a better coach that is required of the leader of a proud team. Watching him turn GT basketball into a team of losers makes me vomit in mouth. They lose close games. They lose blowouts. And not that race has anything to do with it…but I'm a proud Black Man. But…there ain't not nationalism in sports. I don't care if you are my blood brother. If you are turning my team into a bunch of candy-assed losers, you gotta go. Either win Coach Hewitt, or leave so a winner can take your job.

Hewitt is such a poor coach, he could lose to UNC, trade teams with Coach Roy, and lose again.
January 16th, 2010
12:13 pm
GT basketball has become Chan Gailyish and will only be mired in mediocrity for the remainder of Paul Hewitt's time under the Big T-t. I too have been a big CPH admirer and supporter and felt that THIS season would be a huge turn around in the annuls of GT basketball with all the talent this man has amassed. Again, "ain't gona happen" and I agree with Woodstock Dave that Roy Williams could take our talent, teach/coach them his system and take them to the highest levels of collegiate basketball.

What's the point?
First things first, think about why you want to hold a press event. Highlight why it can't be done via your usual press release or a conference call, and ensure there is a newsworthy cause to guarantee interest from those you want to attend. Then set a target of how many media representatives you would like to attend. Now consider how many of those will realistically turn up. If you want journalists, bloggers, local council, businesses attending, think about the ratio of your attendees. It's a good idea to have a goal for what coverage you want to gain from the exercise.
Timing & Catering
The time of day will depend on how you can envisage the event running. If it's an informal briefing why not do over coffee and pastries at breakfast, or a light buffet lunch. If it'll be a short high-profile press conference then tea, coffee, water late morning may be all you need. If you are having a launch event of your new cocktail bar to showcase your drinks menu then breakfast possibly isn't the best time. It's not always necessary to wine and dine attendees but a beverage of some sort is a must.
It's important to have a budget in mind for any event, so if you're looking to wine and dine influential media representatives then you need to know how much you can spend. You don't have to spend a fortune, pick a time and day of the week that not only will people attend but is cost-effective for you as well. Your budget will go alongside your initial planning.
Depending on the reason behind your event, it can be a great way of gaining extra exposure by hosting the event on site at the company you are having the event for. If this just isn't an option as you don't have the capacity for this, then create a good relationship with a local hotel, conference centre, restaurant, wine bar, anywhere that represents your company in the best way. Venues may even agree a contra-deal and offer a discount on room hire or the catering as they will also gain media exposure from hosting the event.
Guest list
As mentioned, you need to be realistic as to how many attendees you will have, you will never get 100% of the people invited come on the day, so be sure to invite more people than your ideal guest number. Do ask for confirmation that those invited are attending, you'll need a rough idea for your caterers and venue set up (and to put your mind at rest people are actually coming!), but do leave it open to some as some people will never commit just in case something else comes up, so you don't want to put them off by being too pushy.
For those that say they will attend and aren't able to make it on the day, why not send a 'sorry you couldn't make it' email with the press release and any info they missed, they're still an opportunity for exposure.
Think about your audience
Who are you looking to invite, or rather, who is it that will attend? If you want a room full of newspaper journalists, then try to have a vague idea of when their deadlines are, so your event not only doesn't clash with their deadlines, but your event will then make the deadline and hopefully your story will be covered.
Press packs
It's always a good idea to have a pack for the attendees to receive upon arrival, so they can peruse through the event and also take away all the information with them. Make sure to include your company bio, event agenda, press release (even if you think they may have already seen it), yours or your relevant media relations contact information, plus anything else you think they would need for their write up.
Social media
Unless your event is super super secret, use social media to your advantage and tweet/post about the event before, during and afterwards. Before the event, use it as a marketing tool to shout about the event and gain additional interest from journalists, bloggers etc. During the event, you could tweet/post images of the speakers and say how well it's going. Post event you could thank people for attending, include feedback comments from attendees, the host venue, organisers, or favourite quotes from those that spoke.
For the keen tweeters, you could create a hashtag, for example, #MyEvent2013, so those that are attending, and even those that aren't can discuss the event and see what others are saying about it, which only adds to the buzz around it.
The follow up
It's imperative that you measure how successful the event was, so ensure you knew who turned up to the event and track what media coverage you then received as a result. After all, that was the whole point of organising the event!
If you're looking to host a media event and aren't sure how to go about it, get in touch with me here and I'll be happy to discuss with you.

Give your company the personal interaction and communication
edge without the hassle and expense of travel.
Travel is expensive yet conference calls don't always get the job done. What's a business to do? Everyone knows that face-to-face is the most effective way to communicate. But it's also the most expensive method when you have remote employees, multiple offices and customers all over who need the very best personalized service and attention you can give them.
Video conferencing gives you the personal interaction and communication edge you need to:
But you're probably thinking: Video conferencing is expensive. It's for ivory towers and board rooms with high-end equipment and big-budget conferencing systems. Not anymore.
