New Orleans L&D Staffing
Separate from the VBAC experience, I wanted to comment on the dearth of personnel at the hospital in which my client birthed.
The doctor, nurse and an LPN (who was only present for the birth and postpartum) were the only folks in the room from the time we entered until I left an hour postpartum.
A short visit from an anesthesiologist in ironed shorts, white Polo shirt, and Nike tennis shoes allowed my mom to have the epidural she desired. Having been called in specifically for my client and another woman in labor, he never gowned. He didn't have an epidural cart, either. The nurse got the "epidural kit" without a pump - I kept blinking at how different this was compared to women receiving epidurals in other areas I've worked in. It took less than 5 minutes for a well-placed and painless insertion of a 2-hour long epidural (not a spinal; I asked) - an enormous difference from mom's last excruciating epidural experience.
As the doctor was gowning, the baby's heart tones began dropping, down into the 80's, so the doctor asked the nurse to find someone from Peds to come in for the birth. As she was walking out, another nurse breathlessly ran in asking for the OB to come for a stat section (I don't use that term - I use cesarean - a grapefruit is sectioned, not a woman). The doctor continued gowning and calmly said they'd have to get someone else. "This is important, too," she said. The undertones screamed, "I can't leave!! This baby needs me as much as the other doctor does."
The nurse continued out the door to alert Peds, but came back saying, in nurse-speak, "They'll be in after the section." Translation: We're alone here.
Our nurse was asked to bring in forceps and she once again left, coming back with a set. They weren't on the table already? Under the table? No vacuum nearby, either? I learned they are not routinely set on delivery tables because of their scarcity. Wow.
Heart tones continued dropping inbetween contractions and we all readied for a depressed baby and as she was born, she was, in fact, depressed.
As she lay on mom's (un-cut) belly, the nurse took the oxygen off mom and gave me the mask to use as blow-by for the baby - I kept the mask close, careful to avoid the eyes.
She needed stimulation - lots of it - and after about 2 minutes (we'd already done and passed the first Apgar), I was asked to carry her over to the warmer to be suctioned. I lifted the flaccid child who'd made cursory tries at breathing, yet who had decent heart tones (yay!) and carried her to the warmer (which I'd turned on as the doctor readied the forceps). The nurse and I stimulated the baby, I attached the suction machine and got it turned on and changed the blankets as she began suctioning. (There was loads of terminal meconium and copious fluid in her stomach and throat.)
I kept expecting the doors to open and a slew of Pediatric nurses or even a neonatologist to come in to check the baby, but no one came. I learned there was no one to come. There was one small team that was needed with the baby in the crash cesarean birth. My client's baby was not the urgent priority.
"Welcome to Third World obstetrics," I was told more than once.
What initially could have been tragic if my client's baby needed a lot more help (we there could have resuscitated to a point) became the newborn's luck in not being removed from mom earlier or removed from the room at all. I know the baby would have been severely roughed up and manipulated had she been born almost anywhere else. Instead, she had her loving midwife and a kind nurse tending to her needs.
What I witnessed was the prioritizing of critical patients. Nurses and doctors learned this skill all too acutely not quite a year ago during Katrina. Their knowledge and experience remains in the forefront of their minds. It was exquisite to watch.
Perhaps if you are a travelling nurse, you might consider a stint in New Orleans. They could use the help.

Hi, section 7.1 defines the UPDATE semantics checked-in resources: "The UPDATE method modifies the content and dead properties of a checked-in version-controlled resource (the "update target") to be those of a specified version (the "update source") from the version history of that version-controlled resource." So is the behaviour for checked-out resources just undefined (intentionally)? I would have expected that DAV:must-be-checked-in is an explicit precondition for this method...

HOUSTON — Congressional campaign contributions from the hydraulic fracturing industry have soared with the shale energy boom, jumping nearly 180 percent between the 2004 and 2012 campaign cycles, according to a new report by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
The hydraulic fracturing industry, defined as trade groups that support fracturing and companies that operate fractured wells, contributed nearly $12 million to House and Senate candidates during the 2012 election cycle, according to the report released this week. That grew from $4.3 million eight years earlier.
Legislators from districts and states that have fracturing activity, including many in Texas, were the biggest beneficiaries of the growing flood of dollars into D.C. Those candidates received $6.9 million during the 2012 campaign cycle, compared to $2.1 for the 2004 cycle.
"Like many industries under increasing scrutiny, the fracking industry has responded by ratcheting up campaign donations to help make new friends in Congress," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, in a written statement. "As CREW's report shows, the fracking boom isn't just good for the industry, but also for congressional candidates in fracking districts."
Dividing Democrats: House passes bill to thwart federal fracturing rules
The report, called Natural Cash: How the Fracking Industry Fuels Congress, says 80 percent of campaign contributions from the fracturing industry went to Republican candidates.
Still, one of the 10 largest recipients is a Democrat. Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana received $285,000 between the 2004 and 2012 campaign cycles.
In total, Democratic candidates from districts with fracturing activity received $850,000 in the 2012 campaign cycle. Republican candidates received $6.1 million, according to the report.
The hydraulic fracturing industry contributed nearly $2 million to all Texas congressional candidates in the 2012 campaign cycle, a 169 percent increase over the 2006 campaign cycle.
The report is based on data by MapLight, a research organization that tracks data on campaign contributions, legislative votes and other political activity.
Above, see which senators and representatives received the largest campaign contributions from the hydraulic fracturing industry during the 2004 and 2012 campaign cycles, and find out which Texas representative ranks No. 1.

Just a few highlights from our homeschooling experience in September. I'd like to blog more soon about the curriculum we're using this year and our schedule and rhythm...hmmmm....yes, I would like to do that. In the meanwhile, there are also a few more pictures over at Flickr too.
Math fun with shapes. (I think what they actually enjoy most about these is when the elastics on the Geoboards "accidentally" spring off the board and fly randomly across the room.)
Alexa's watercolor of fall from our Art Class.
Second Grade copywork.
Alexa's drawing from our monthly Book Club. We read Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin and we loved it!
Nick's Roman Legion Signum from History Class.
Checking the rain fall on our Science class rain gauges.
Dragon Lion Bread. Well, we had every intention of celebrating Michaelmas again this year by making Dragon Bread but when the 29th of September rolled around, we were so deeply into next month's Book Club selection, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, that it turned into Lion Bread instead. Well. at least we got our dragon fix earlier in the month with Where the Mountain Meets the Moon.
September would not be complete without an apple picking trip! (Although this looks more like pumpkin picking, doesn't it? Many of you know that I hold back a lot of apple picking pictures each year in case some of them make it onto the Christmas card so it will be a surprise. So... I am sharing the apple-picking-picture-of-the-pumpkin-tree. We loved Tougas Farm, by the way.)
It has been a really great start to our homeschooling year here and I'm so glad I took a few minutes to look back and blog about it. It helps put the month in perspective for me. I spend a lot of time reviewing what we've done, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't and make changes where we need to. Sometimes that means I am caught up quite a bit in the details. But taking a look at the month as a whole and sharing some of it here helps me see the bigger picture and helps me realize that, yes, it was a really great month! We're off to a good start.

In the early morning sun, a Western Meadowlark was singing its lungs out.
At Market Lake WMA, the Great-horned owl has hatched the chicks, but hides them under her wings when we come around.
A Great Blue heron leaves as I pull up to watch him fish.
An American Avocet flies over and is just one of about a hundred working the shallows at Market Lake.
On the way home, I stopped by the Texas Slough and found large numbers of Willets and Greater Yellow-legs. Here a pair of each compete for hidden food.
And finally my first Osprey of the season. The male was helping the female remodel and spring clean their house.
A great way to spend another Wild Day in Idaho.

If you're a car buff, chances are you've heard about the next chapter in the Fast and Furious franchise that's scheduled for release in theaters towards the end of April. Being that the movie series is popular among car enthusiasts, the Chrysler Group decided to team up with Universal Pictures for a multi-tiered partnership. Aside from providing 2010 and 2011 model year Dodge Charger vehicles used in numerous chase scenes throughout the Fast Five movie, the Detroit automaker is also sponsoring a Dodge/Fast Five advertisement that will air for the first time on Saturday, April 2 during the Final Four basketball tournaments. However, you can get a sneak peak right after the jump.
"The Dodge brand is proud to partner with Universal Pictures on Fast Five. We enjoyed being a part of the production process and working with the cast and crew, and it clearly comes through in the film," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO, Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC.
"The chase scenes in this installment of Fast Five are over-the-top and adrenaline-filled, and Dodge fans will be thrilled by the performance of the Dodge Charger."
The new ad, which you can check out below, stars an Elizabethan-era mother in the 2011 Charger lecturing her daughter about ruining the family name by carrying on in a relationship with Cornelius, a son of a blacksmith's apprentice, driving Vin Diesel's 1970s classic Charger.

|Re: using build profiles for WAR plugin [maven-eclipse-plugin]
|Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:19:35 GMT
Hi, You don't understand how Eclipse IDE works. Eclipse does not have different classpaths for testing and actual runtime. So Eclipse basic design is faulty. There is bug open since 2008 to provide means to tell Eclipse that which are test sources and not include them to runtime classpath. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=224708 So everything under src/test goes also into GlassFish server if you deploy application in Eclipse. That causes that those unit test properties and configuration and classes are picked first and they are effective and application does not work. Even worst if you have multi-module project and B module is dependent from A and A project defines SPI interface and has in src/test/java test implementation for that and of course in src/test/resources/META-INF/services SPI file for exposing that test SPI implementation then if B implements also that SPI interface and put SPI file in src/main/resources/META-INF/services, you cannot test you implementation via ServiceLoader because it pick's that module A test implementation. Same goes for properties and everything else. Of course NetBeans and IntelliJ has correct way to do things but they are not an option.

Changing Names with the DVLA
For residents of England, Scotland and Wales, notify the DVLA as a priority after changing names. You need to complete form D1 'Application for a Driving Licence.' This form can be ordered online, or else pick one up from most post offices.
What documents do I send in?
Return the completed form plus your current photocard driving licence and paper counterpart. You also need to provide an original document as proof of your name change. The exact document you provide can vary depending on your reason for changing names. Anyone changing names from marriage should include their marriage certificate, divorcees can provide their decree absolute, separation name change requires marriage and birth certificates. All other name changes need a deed poll. (Cont...)
More information
A photo is not necessary if you have a photocard licence. If you have a paper driving licence you must also include a passport style photo. Name changes take up to three weeks to be processed. Your updated license is mailed separately from your proof documents. The form explains what to do if you can't return your current licence with your application. You may also take your current licence and proof of name change in person to a DVLA office.

Two symposia presented by The City College of New York Department of Sociology, April 8 and April 15, will examine sociological and scientific perspectives on race.
The first symposium, 2 p.m. Friday, April 8, titled, "Race and Science: New Findings and Challenges," focuses on questions of race and science and how increasingly scientific views of race challenge the sociological notions of race as "non scientific."
The second meeting, "Race and Categorization: Changing Terrains," 2 p.m. Friday, April 15, concentrates on the 2010 Census and the many questions it has raised about race.
Both symposia are free and open to the public. They take place in the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute library, Room 2/202 in the North Academic Center on the CCNY campus, located at 160 Convent Avenue, New York. The programs are made possible by a grant from the Office of CCNY President Lisa Staiano-Coico. Speakers for each event follow:
Friday, April 8 – "Race and Science: New Findings and Challenges"
Dr. Alondra Nelson, associate professor of sociology, Columbia University.

In this week's Cornish Guardian, my article focussed on the crisis affecting dairy farmers. It was as follows:
Well done to all those farmers who, last week, staged imaginative protests against a number of large supermarkets, which have not been paying producers a fair price for their milk.
It must have been quite a sight to see a couple of cows being led through one of Asda's stores in the Midlands.
There have been numerous reports that some of the supermarkets have "bowed to pressure" and agreed that the farmers, in future, would be paid more.
I understand that Aldi, Lidl and Asda have promised to pay a minimum of 28p a litre, while Morrison has pledged a figure of 26p a litre.
This may be better than the average price paid to farmers – reported in numerous newspapers of 23.66p –but it is a disgrace that the payments are below the average production costs of 30p for a litre of milk.
The Government does have a Supermarket Ombudsman within the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills – otherwise known as the Groceries Code Adjudicator – to regulate the relationship between supermarkets and their suppliers.
But this is just one person and the "adjudicator" is plainly failing to combat the dominance of the supermarkets.
This situation is still untenable. Dairy farmers and other primary producers need Cameron and his Ministers to intervene and to regulate the big supermarkets, to stop them forcing down farm prices to uneconomic levels.
The situation is dire and the NFU is doing a fantastic job in pointing out the precarious nature of future food production in the UK and the impact on the wider countryside.
As they recently told politicians; "Plummeting farm gate prices, a continued downward trend in global markets for household essentials like milk; and supermarkets continuing to devalue food have all highlighted the dire situation many British farmers are facing."
They have also released figures showing that the United Kingdom only produces 62% of the food we consume. Or as they put it: "August 14 marks the day in the calendar when the British larder would run bare if we fed the nation British food from January 1."
The NFU President Meurig Raymond has rightly described this as a "wake-up call" and demanded that the farming sector is "recognised not just as producers of quality food, but also for the value added to the economy, employment and our beautiful and diverse countryside."
I just hope that the Government is listening.

Whether it's a meal you cook for yourself in your apartment, a family dinner at a reunion, or a meal you are sharing with your friend, make it extra special by savoring it and enjoying it for the wonderful and fulfilling experience that it truly is.
1Eat slowly. Whatever you're eating, be it ramen, spaghetti, chicken Kiev or any other dish, take a slow and calm approach so as to fully enjoy it. Put down your fork, knife, chopstick or other utensil between bites and allow yourself time to chew and swallow correctly.
2Savor each bite. This step comes naturally. Take a moment to make a mental note of the flavor, the smell and the texture of what you're eating. That memory will stay with you and remind you of how good the meal was.
3Eat moderately, without overeating. Eating too much will give you that sick, bloated feeling you get when you are full. Keep this good meal, by eating just enough and no more.
4Be adventurous. If something extra is on your dish, such as a condiment/side order that you don't normally eat, or a different dish altogether you haven't tried yet is available, go for it! Often a meal won't feel complete if you haven't tried a little of everything on your plate.
5Modify your dish. From the very beginning, recipes were made to be altered and tampered with, to make new and exciting ones. Picture this––an ancient Chinese man eating some bland and dry chicken with rice adds a little sauce with some pineapple and tomato, and what does he get? Sweet and sour chicken: a delicious Chinese dish. Even now, that dish is still being modified. Try to alter your meal with some different sauces, and aim to get the ratio of flavor varieties right. Eventually you'll end up with your own personal meal that you fine-tuned to your own taste buds.Advertisement

How to Fix Sony Xperia S Problem While Connecting to PC
I think the Sony Xperia S is very good looking and easy to use smartphone, but there are also many bads on it in my experience. When I first time tried to connect my Sony Xperia S to PC (Windows 7 OS) via USB cable, my PC couldn't detect my Sony Xperia S even after having installed the PC Companion. Finally I found two methods to solve this problem.
Method 1: Clear MTP App
After clearing the data stored by MTP App on internal memory, suddenly Sony Xperia can connect to PC and works good. The steps are below:
(1) Disconnect the Sony Xperia S from the PC.
Unplug the USB cable from the computer or the smartphone.
(2) Clear data for the MTP App.
Goto Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Click on All (1), click on MTP extension service (2) (the App's name might be different to yours, but must have a MTP word in its name)
Click on Clear data (3), and then reconnect Sony Xperia S to your computer. PC Companion will successfully detect your phone as expected. But you will to repeat this method (Clear the MTP data in the phone) when you try to connect your Sony Xperia S to your computer everytime.
Method 2: Software update
Goto Settings -> About phone -> Software update.
Update the Sofeware and System to the last version, and then this problem will be solved automatically.
Only useful comments will be allowed.

U Miami's MBA En Español Students Voice Fears, Hopes About Trump, Latin America By Tim Padgett • May 15, 2017 Tim Padgett / WLRN.org Listen Listening... / 4:45 OAS Chief: Venezuela Regime's Behavior Is 'Criminal – Everything Is Collapsed' By Tim Padgett • Apr 24, 2017 Emily Michot / Miami Herald Listen Listening... / 4:45 Venezuela is in its fourth week of massive anti-government demonstrations – and so far 21 people have been killed in the unrest. U.N. Peacekeepers To Leave Haiti – But Few Haitians Sad To See Them Go By Tim Padgett • Apr 14, 2017 Ariana Cubillos / AP via Miami Herald On Thursday, the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to pull its peacekeeping troops out of Haiti. But it seems few Haitians will be sad to see them go. The U.N. peacekeepers arrived in Haiti in 2004 to bring order to violent chaos after the overthrow of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. And for a while, the more than 2,000 U.N. soldiers did that. Venezuela: Nicolás And His Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Semana Santa By Tim Padgett • Apr 12, 2017 YouTube COMMENTARY How much do Venezuelans hate President Nicolás Maduro? Apparently they revile him so much that – in a country where food shortages are so acute the average adult lost almost 20 pounds last year – they're willing to throw eggs at him. This is Semana Santa, the Easter Holy Week, a time when Maduro hoped most Venezuelans would pause their angry anti-government protests and head to the beach. Instead they pelted him with stones and eggs as his open car moved through Ciudad Guayana on Tuesday. Trump And TPS: Will He Extend Haitians' Stay Here Or Send Them Back? By Tim Padgett • Apr 10, 2017 Tim Padgett / WLRN.org Listen Listening... / 4:45 Farah Larrieux is a Haitian who for the past dozen years has built a tele-life in South Florida. She's hosted the public affairs program "Haiti Journal" on PBS channel WPBT. She has a TV production company. Let Me Get This Straight: Miami Is Terrified Of Airbnb, But Havana Isn't? By Tim Padgett • Apr 5, 2017 C.M. Guerrero / Miami Herald COMMENTARY Its economy relies to an absurd extent on the low-wage tourism sector. Because it lacks higher-wage, tech-oriented jobs, its average citizens struggle to bridge the chasm between their incomes and their exorbitant living costs. But so what? It's a sunny town on a bay with muy caliente Latin flavor. The visitors and their money will keep coming and keep the place afloat. Besides, it's got more important things to worry about – like a mortal political enemy 90 miles away. Colombian Ambassador: We Have To Make Our Peace Case To Trump, U.S. Congress By Tim Padgett • Apr 3, 2017 Pedro Portal / Miami Herald Listen Listening... / 4:45 Last fall Colombia was being called "the Brexit of the Americas." That's because, in stunning Brexit fashion, voters there had just rejected a peace agreement to end the country's half-century-long civil war. Most Colombians felt the accord was too lenient toward the Marxist guerrillas known as the FARC. Venezuela's Maduro Is The Caracas Kim – The North Korean One (Er, Un) By Tim Padgett • Mar 29, 2017 South Florida Lawyers Fear Trump Administration Squeezing Asylum Seekers By Tim Padgett • Mar 28, 2017 Roberto Koltun / Miami Herald Listen Listening... / 4:39 Typically, when people are in the court system they want their cases heard as quickly as possible. But asylum requests are different. NY Festival's Ban Of Cuba Film Feels Like Miami Schools' Ban Of Cuba Book By Tim Padgett • Mar 22, 2017 Courtesy COMMENTARY If you've lived in Miami long enough, you're used to seeing all things Cuban – all things – refracted through a political prism. Music. Art. Baseball. Rum. Animal rights activists in lettuce bikinis promoting veganism in Havana. (Yeah, see the angry comments on my report about that last month.) Puerto Rico Governor In Miami To Leverage Reform – And South Florida's Puerto Ricans By Tim Padgett • Mar 21, 2017 Tim Padgett / WLRN.org Puerto Rico is still mired in one of the worst economic crises in the island's history. Its new young governor, Ricardo Rosselló, is on a campaign to turn things around - and he's betting an important ally will be South Florida's booming Puerto Rican diaspora. Rosselló is only 38 years old. But he's leveraging his youthful energy in an effort not only to reform the U.S. territory's disastrous finances but to change the often dysfunctional relationship between the U.S. government and Puerto Rico – whose residents are U.S. citizens. From Water Cannons To Cancellations: U.S. Airlines Cut Back Flights To Cuba By Tim Padgett • Mar 13, 2017 Carl Juste / Miami Herald Listen Listening... / 1:00 Last summer the first U.S. commercial flights to Cuba in more than half a century took off to jubilant fanfare - and landed to cheers and water cannon salutes. U.S. airlines were giddy about resuming commercial flights to the communist island. Maybe too giddy. FIU Conference Makes Clear U.S. Needs More Hemispheric Strategy Than A Wall By Tim Padgett • Mar 10, 2017 Tim Padgett / WLRN.org President Trump's rough rhetoric toward Mexico suggests his relationship with Latin America could be rocky. But the security challenges there remain daunting. That was the subject of a major Florida International University gathering on Thursday - a conference that made it clear the U.S. will need to summon a more involved hemispheric strategy than just building a wall. Latinos For Trump: What Were You Thinking? By Tim Padgett • Mar 8, 2017 Roberto Koltun / Miami Herald COMMENTARY South Miami teacher Jorge Cast has his enemies of the people all neatly figured out – including the mainstream media. "My family came from Cuba, and they taught me something very basic," Cast told WLRN last Saturday at a rally in Tropical Park in support of President Trump. "When the media tells you something is white, you believe it's black. When they tell you it's right, you believe it's wrong." Pages« first ‹ previous … 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 … next › last »

Holy mackarel, this is a tour de force this morning, Alex! I am trying to convince my wife, who is an excellent baker, to make the Food52 version, even though I'm not a big meringue fan. I'm guessing I'll have to wait for the holidays.
It's just a staggering-looking thing, ain't it?

The conference is Oct. 1 and 2.
"The Universe at Its Limits" is the theme of this 49th annual Nobel Conference put on by Gustavus.
The Nobel winners, who will receive honorary degrees from the college, are:
- Samuel C.C. Ting of MIT, 1976 Nobel laureate in physics
- Frank Wilczek of MIT, 2004 Nobel laureate in physics
- George Smoot of UC-Berkeley and Paris Diderot University, 2006 Nobel laureate in physics
Other speakers include:
- Tara Shears, particle physicist, University of Liverpool
- Lawrence Krauss, physicist and astronomer at Arizona State University
- S. James Gates Jr., string and particle theorist, University of Maryland
- Alexei Filippenko, astrophysicist and supernovae researcher at the University of California, Berkeley
- Fr. George Coyne, SJ, former director of the Vatican Observatory and head of the observatory's research group based at the University of Arizona.
Steve Mellema, Nobel Conference chair and professor of physics at Gustavus, said the conference will look at the state of the universe, as we know it:
"We live at a remarkable moment in the understanding of the most fundamental questions of science: What is the Universe made of? Where did it come from? Where is it going?
"At this year's Nobel Conference we will explore these questions in the light of recent discoveries and spend time contemplating both their scientific and their philosophical implications."

Steve Jobs and Drugs
Posted Under: Letters to the Editor
Letter to the Editor
In this time of mourning over the passing of Steve Jobs it is important to understand what made him such and outstanding individual. And although it is an inconvenient truth to some people, his success was due to using LSD. That is what Apple's trademark phrase "Think Differently" is referring to.
In his own words, Jobs said that taking LSD was "one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life." This is what Steve Jobs himself believed was his advantage over Microsoft Windows, saying of Bill Gates, "He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger."
Although it is generally good to teach our children to "say no to drugs" not all drugs are the same. Kids should definitely say no to drugs like cigarettes, excessive alcohol, cocaine, and methamphetamine. But when it come to the psychedelic drugs like marijuana, mescalin, and LSD one has to appreciate that when used properly these drugs can have a profound and permanent positive effect transforming the individual in a way that allows someone to "Think Differently" and be the forefront of computer development like Steve Jobs was.
So when you sit down in front of your Mac computer, your iPod, iPad, iPhone, and listen to you music on iTunes, think of Steve Jobs and wonder where the world would be today if not for the people who "Think Differently" that create all this wonderful technology we enjoy.

5 Fandom Friday is a weekly prompt challenge hosted by The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick. I got really excited when I saw this week's #5FandomFriday topic - Make-Up Friday! I decided to do the first-ever #5FF prompt, "Gateway Fandoms that Made Me Who I Am Today." Let's do this!
Fairies - The first oddbeat thing I can remember being obsessed with is fairies; when I was a kid I had a set of books that were hand-me-downs from my cousin and the one for beginning readers had a whole section of poems about fairies and pixies and such. Two of my favorite movies were Thumbelina and Fern Gully and my favorite book was Lynne Reid Banks' The Fairy Rebel. My best friend and I made up an elaborate game for our classmates around the premise that there were fairies living in the woods beside our school playground and a series of tasks had to be completed to save them - basically, at the age of eight I was already a fantasy writer in training. Unfortunately, our ongoing story came to an end when we came back to school one Monday and the tree where the fairies lived had been struck by lightning overnight.
Titanic - It sounds strange to call a tragic historical disaster a fandom, but hear me out! In December 1997, my friend's parents dropped us off at a G-rated move so they could see Titanic. After about 15 minutes of Flubber or something, my friend and I were in the back row of Titanic feeling like the baddest 12-year-old chicks in town. We were found out when her parents found us sobbing as the credits rolled. I became obsessed not only with Leonardo Di Caprio (you'll always be my first love, Leo), but with the ship, its wreckage, and explorer Robert Ballard. I was so psyched to find out my sister-in-law shares my love of all things Titanic - we went to see the movie together when it was released in 3D, and she and I forced our family to endure the Titanic Museum Exhibition on our vacation to Tennessee.
Arthurian Legend/Medieval Everything - My mom can attest that medieval lore was one of my first fandoms; when I was three and four all I wanted to draw was castles. When I was in eighth grade, two things led to my medieval obsession: the TV movie Merlin and Brian Jacques' Redwall books (I can thank my local librarian for that literary gateway drug). In the early days of AOL, I stumbled upon a chat-based RPG about a castle, and started writing stories a character named Duchess Isabella (my name from Spanish class, super creative obviously) who was basically a Mary Sue version of Morgan Le Fay who used dark magic to save unicorns and such. I'm sure our stories were horrible, but I had found a community of people who loved the thing I loved, and 5 years later I'd be studying Edmund Spenser and Geoffery Chaucer in college. My trip to Ireland to study literature was a dream come true because I got to see actual medieval things, real ruins of castles and The Book of Kells, and I'm still obsessed with all things medieval.
Star Wars - I resisted Star Wars - when I was a kiddo, my dad kept trying to convince me to watch the trilogy via his battered set of VHS tapes and I refused every time because it was a "boy movie" (there were no horses, so he couldn't trick me into watching it the way he did his favorite Westerns). When I saw some of the cool guys in my class playing with Star Wars action figures, one of which was shaped like AN ADORABLE BEAR, I was like, okay, Dad, let's do this thing. The next three weekends held probably three of the most significant Friday nights of my life! With the release of The Phantom Menace in 1999, my gang of online medieval writing geeks realized we all loved Star Wars and AOL created a spin-off universe for us to play in. I created a science fiction character that I still love and write about. This year, watching The Force Awakens, I couldn't help but feel like my dad was there with me.
Harry Potter - The fandom that is closest to my heart. My first year of college, I made one of my best friends in the whole world through our mutual love of Harry Potter. Not only is it practically my religion, HP has made being a geek cool. This week, when one of my coworkers recommended a book to me and another teacher said, "Is there a wand in it?" I am definitely the resident genre fiction expert on the eighth grade English hallway and I love nurturing my baby geeks by putting Harry Potter, Redwall, Ender's Game, and comic books into their hands.
What were your first fandoms and obsessions?

- Burgess Quarterly Sales Market Report (Q1 2013)
Market movement
Q1 of 2013 has seen 30 yachts new to market in the 40m+ sector, 77 price reductions and 21 yachts sold. The start of the year has been busy, with the majority of transactions occurring in the 40-50m sector.
The number of new yachts brought to market this quarter has increased notably on the last quarter of 2012, 30 versus 18. A notable new yacht to market is the 88.8m ILLUSION currently under construction in China. Although there is still a large disparity between new build and brokerage prices, as the inventory in the larger sizes starts to thin out, the more attractive these new builds will become.
There has been no real let up in the number of price reductions however the market is moving and yachts are selling, although at reduced prices. The busiest sector by far is the 40-50m with 15 sales out of the total of 21 for the quarter. Encouragingly, 5 yachts were sold in the 50-65m sector as opposed to just 8 coming on to the market. Again though, the number of yachts new to the market is still outpacing those being sold.
Motor yacht price reductions
Price reductions are still a major feature of the current market with 77 reductions being made this quarter, an increase of 25 over Q1 2012.
Although the 40-50m sector saw the most by number, this only equated to 17% of the sales fleet in this size range being discounted. The 50-65m sector also had 17% of the sales fleet reduced in price, the 65-85m sector of the market by comparison, saw 30% of the current sales fleet receiving a price reduction. Unusually, 2 yachts in the 85m+ sector were also reduced in price this quarter.
2013 looks like it will follow the pattern of 2012, with price reductions and the sellers willingness to negotiate on price being the key factors influencing the brokerage market. That said, as the number of quality yachts available starts to thin out in the 65m plus sector of the market, the prices here may start to harden slightly. Still, at present, yachts are selling at a considerable reduction from the asking price across the size ranges, with buyers firmly in control.
Sailing yachts
There continues to be an appetite for very large sailing yachts with four 80m+ under construction. Two notable 60m yachts have been added to the Burgess sales fleet and there appears to be a renewed interest in this sector of the market. The mid-range 40-50m sector still remains challenging although there are some fantastic deals to be had. Burgess sees the launch of the 43m Royal Huisman sloop BLUE PAPILLON from the sheds at the end of this month.
Q2 so far
In an update to Burgess' first quarter Market Report (download via the link below), April and May have seen a reasonable level of activity. For the first time this year the number of yachts sold (11) has out-paced the number coming to market (5).
In a relatively unusual event, the largest yacht sold this year, LONE RANGER, was sold at auction to a Burgess client. Other notable recent sales were the 68m Nobiskrug TRIPLE SEVEN, the 55m Heesen QUINTA ESSENTIA and the 47m Delta ROCHADE.
The start of 2013 has seen an uptick in the level of interest in new build enquiries and it has been encouraging to see clients looking to the shipyards for their future yachts.
Whilst there is still plenty of inventory on the market, there are definite signs of activity across the size ranges and Burgess continues to experience a busy second quarter.

Gregory Alan Elliott has over 35 years experience as an art director, graphic designer, illustrator, and writer... in advertising, television, and the public sector.
Gregory Alan Elliott has been a professional illustrator since he was young.
He sold his first illustration when he was 10 years old to Bic Canada to promote their new line of Bic Banana felt markers.
Here's a small sample of his illustrations over the years.
As an experimental artist, Gregory Alan Elliott works with many, varied materials.
This collection was created using hardware store paint chip samples, cut and glued into patterns.
Between 2001 and 2011, GAE made over 130+ paint chip paintings.
You can view prices for them in his Etsy shop - The GAE Studio.
Since 2008, 5,000+ smiling hearts have been posted all over Southern Ontario with the goal of putting a smile on the hearts of all who stumble across them. Many have been posted by Greg, but many have also been posted by friends, fans, and strangers.
When many strangers over the years would tell Greg about his hearts' positive impact on them, it inspired him to keep making more.
During his court case, the smiling heart became a symbol of solidarity that many supporters added to their profile pics on social media.
Today, it's his personal brand image.
Since the early 90's, GAE has made unique designs using a classic material called 'Rubylith'.
Here's a small sample of the designs he's made over the years with this material.
Gregory Alan Elliott has been doing great designs for great causes since the early 1980s.
Each year, Elliott has taken on a limited number of clients at no charge if their initiatives and projects are for the public good.
After 35 years writing for advertising, corporate branding, and graphic design, creating original one-liners comes naturally to Elliott.
He preferred Twitter as his go-to social media platform because of the brevity of the 140 character limit.
Of the thousands of micro poems in his journal, here's just a few he painted on canvas.
You can view prices for them in his Etsy shop - The GAE Studio.
Gregory Alan Elliott experiments. With everything. Here's a small sample of the some of the experimental art he's created over the years.
The small Occupy Toronto trailer, made from scraps and old elections signs was created for a protest, but ended up finding other uses for itself around Toronto for years after the protest.
Gregory Alan Elliott coined the artform known as "snoetry" in 2008. Snoetry can be any image or phrase drawn in the snow.
Whether it's a heart on a snowy windshield, or a poem that covers an entire soccer field, it is snoetry.
Spontaneous, and by nature temporary, snoetry is fully editable by any passerby. It is also environmentally-friendly graffiti.
Elliott created a rough entry page for his website back in 2008.
Gregory Alan Elliott volunteered to create Kensington Market's Garden Car. It is the second Garden Car, as the first was retired to a community garden in the north end of Toronto.
These photos document the building of the car, the repair of vandalism to the front windshield, and the creative use of excess rolls of lawn grass. The photos also show the many different paint designs the car has sported over the past few years.
Gregory Alan Elliott would like to thank project lead Yvonne Bambrick for allowing him to volunteer in the creation of this treasured Toronto landmark.
Over the decades, Elliott has built tiny homes and greenhouses around Ontario.
The greenhouse featured here implemented a metre (4 feet) deep gravel bed that acts as a storage mass which gathers heat during the day for release overnight.

Burn Calories
Author: Gina Aliotti - IFBB Figure Professional / for Models Observer
June 2006
* A. Calorie Intake - Women
1. Recommended number of meals per day?
6-7 meals per day.
2. Spaces between each meal?
Every 2 ½ -3 hours (3 being the max).
3. Meals contents - what do you recommend eating and drinking in the meals?
Depending on one's goals, i.e. building or burning, most meals should consist of protein and fibrous complex carbohydrates and tons of veggies. Each meal should be accompanied by lots of water.
Calories vary depending on your workout goals but vary from 150 calories to about 300 calories per meal.
4. What foods and drinks should they avoid, and why?
To keep it simple, I recommend staying away from any white foods including sugar! Sodas and sugary drinks are also a big NO NO.
* B. Training - Women
1. What kind of activity is most efficient for losing fats and building a solid body?
Losing fats and building a solid body takes a combination of weight training with a fair amount of cardiovascular activity.
What should be its frequency?
I recommend weight training 4-5 times a week with cardio 5-7 depending on ones goals.
2. Differences between aerobics, spinning and the gym.
Aerobics and spinning are both group classes that can be great for burning calories and getting your hear rate up. The gym is great for building dense muscle, which will inevitably increase your metabolism and therefore help you burn fat.
3. Shaping the abdomen - what are the recommended instruments and exercises?
This tends to be every woman's favorite question and main concern. Shaping the abdomen comes from burning the fat that lies on the surface! I recommend doing abdomen work 2-3 times a week and focusing more on the diet to shape the abdomen.
4. Shaping the arms:
Basic dumbbell exercises have been successful for me and what I think are most effective for arm work.
5. Shaping the butt:
I recommend straight leg dead lifts, butt blaster, cable kickbacks and making sure to focus on squeezing with each exercise. It is all about the burn!
6. Shaping the legs:
I like to do light weights with high reps for legs. Sprint work and track workouts with complex movements also help shape the legs.
7. Recommended space/rest between the meal and the training.
I like to wait at least 45 minutes before working out, after a meal but I eat immediately following my workout.
C. Myths and Reality
What common myths/wrong assumptions about shaping the body you've noticed so far?
Gina Aliotti: People tend to focus their attention on cardio, cardio, cardio, for loosing fat. People are afraid to lift weights, thinking they are going to put on too much muscle and get "too big". This is a complete myth because the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn and the more calories are burned throughout the day. Also people tend to think that depriving themselves of food will help them loose weight when in reality, our bodies are like furnaces and we need to keep feeding it "coals" -- i.e. food -- to keep it burning!
* D. Men
Any recommendations for men who wish to build massive muscle mass.
Gina Aliotti: Men tend to want to put on massive muscle mass fast. They have always been told that they need to train heavy and eat massive amount of calories. This is true, in a sense, but the key is to train hard and heavy and feed the body good calories, i.e. complex carbs, lean proteins and dark leafy greens!! Calories are essential component in putting on muscle mass but the key is to increase the amount of calories slowly and with the right type of foods! Another key factor is Patience! It takes time to sculpt the body and increase its muscle mass. The key is to stick to a solid program and give it time to see the results.

Squidhat '77 - A Las Vegas Punk Rock Tribute to 1977
Most of the bands here are modern Vegas punk bands, though there are some variations on the theme. Of course, 1977 is the year that punk rock broke, so it was highly influential to most everyone who is playing today. But, covering 1977 punk can be difficult since a lot of groups are using that basic sound to this day. Case in point - the Gashers covering the Sex Pistols - a little snottier (if you can believe it) but basically a stock cover version of "No Feelings". Japan's The Heiz (they play Vegas often enough to almost be considered a local band) pull out an unexpected Shaun Cassidy number, "That's Rock'n'Roll", but are successful with it, as they pull their influences from the 50's through the present and blend it up to make their own sound with anything that they do.
The Civilians do a pretty damn spot-on cover of Thin Lizzy's "Bad Reputation", complete with harmony leads, which is impressive. Considering their expertise with vocal harmonies, it makes sense that Franks and Deans covers ELO's "Turn to Stone" (not the great Joe Walsh number), Guily by Association does a punk rock take on "We Are the Champions" which is funny, the Dammit Jims have the challenging task of covering the Ramones "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment", which is pretty straight-forward, and the Quitters are equally ambitious as they tackle the immediately identifiable "Lust For Life" and do their best to make it their own.
My pals, the Psyatics picked Pink Floyd's "Pigs", not something that I would expect from them, and not a particularly memorable number to start with. Of course, they twist'n'turn it into a post-punk, staccato, noisey rocker, as they do. New Cold War turn Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" into a heavy metal/grunge tune, which makes it stand out here, the Hard Pipe Hitters' "Sonic Reducer" is a pretty standard take on this much-covered number, and the Negative Nancys add some changes to the Buzzcocks' "Boredom" and Rayner goes for the goofiness of "Margaritaville".
Another ambitious undertaking is the Scoundrels taking on Television's "Friction", but they do it justice - keeping enough of the original but adding their own bits'n'pieces - impressive. The Dirty Panties also do a good job with "Psycho Killer" and the Bloodcocks UK knock it out of the park with an incredible "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll" (Ian Dury) - since they never play in Vegas (only Japan), I wasn't sure what to expect but this is amazing! Showing off their nerd credentials, the Classifieds do Star Wars' "Imperial March", having never been much of a reggae fan, I didn't recognize Go Bold's punk rock take on Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" or the Pluralses growling version of Meatloaf's "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad".
Unbelievably, I have yet to see the New Waves, Vegas' instro band that reinvents 80's songs as surf numbers, but their "I Want You To Want Me" is pretty damn cool, Joy Division as thrash punk as Unfair Fight does with "Warsaw" isn't my thing though the Squidhat All Stars doing "Brick House" is pretty amusing, and while the Clash's "1977" is the appropriate closer, the Civilians and Friends stock interpretation doesn't add anything - not bad, but nothing that stands out, either.
As I said, comps can be hit'r'miss, but this is pretty fun overall.

A building company's staff is laying the foundations for a
successful KC Hull 10K Corporate
Thirty employees at Hull-based MKM Building Supplies have grand designs on being the fastest firm in the city by taking part in this year's KC Hull Corporate Challenge on Sunday 19th May.
The competition - part of the popular Asda Foundation Run For All Hull 10K - is one of the biggest corporate challenges in the region and this year, with exactly a month to go until race day, more than 300 businessmen and women have already signed up to take part.
As well as trying to secure bragging rights, MKM will be raising money for the Jane Tomlinson Appeal.
Mark Smith, Financial Director at MKM, said: "We're proud of our Yorkshire roots and one of our core values is supporting local and regional charities.
"The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is really close to our hearts as it was born out of the legacy of an incredibly inspiring Yorkshirewoman who showed some of the amazing grit the county is famous for.
"The events held in her name now continue to inspire others and thousands have so far taken part in the Hull 10K.
"We're thrilled to be among them. It's a fantastic event that
brings the whole of Hull together, whatever their backgrounds, many
of whom are taking part because they have been touched by a
devastating illness themselves."
Teams who take part in the KC Hull 10K Corporate Challenge, will not only challenge each other to be first past the finishing post in this year's Hull 10K on May 19, they will also use their brain and brawns to be crowned winners of a Cryptic Quest event at a special pre-race networking night.
The event is sponsored by KC which, along with dozens of other
businesses, will be trying to beat MKM to the finishers' tape. This
year KC has a team of 32 runners - one of the biggest in the
Anna Millar, KC's Community Relations Manager, said: "We've entered a team into the Corporate Challenge every year and our team grows each year. It's a brilliant event to bring companies together, it builds team spirit and it's great for building a bit of friendly rivalry with other local businesses. It's also a great way for colleagues to get to know each other at both the event and the networking evening beforehand.
"Most importantly, it's also a great way to raise money for charity. "
A corporate team entry for 10 costs £550, while smaller firms can enter a team of five for £275. The price includes the networking evening. To enter or for more information go to www.forallevents.co.uk/run-for-all
General entries are also open for the 2013 Hull 10K to be held on Sunday, May 19. Visit www.forallevents.co.uk/run-for-all for more details
