we'll frame our laughter
next to nana's bed
we'll show you the world
from the top of Lion's head
we'll giggle at penguins
fly kites on the beach
there's so much to learn, my little one,
there's so much to teach
and there'll be candles at birthdays
and ducks in the bath
a night light and Lego
and picnics and parties
and ice cream
if only you'd stay with me
it would be so much fun, you'd see
us three
your daddy, me
and you
The scan showed 5 promising follies: 2x 18mm, 1x 19mm, 1x 21mm and 1x giant of 27mm. So three excellent ones and two more that wants to play with. Lining is just over 7mm, which should be good enough.
Considering my age, endo and history, the FS says to go for it! So Ovidrel tonight and we'll be trying to nail one (and hopefully only one, maybe two) of those follies with IUI on Friday.
Second time lucky would be bestest Christmas prezzie ever.
The good news is that 50 mg of Clomid was once again enough to make me fire off loads of follies.
Problem is that there seems to be 5 in the running this month, not counting a 24 mm 'follie' that is more likely a cyst. Things might change between now and Friday, but the FS won't do IUI if there's 5 or more follies and also wouldn't want us to try on our own.
We could switch to IVF, but it seems like lots of effort and cost for 'only' 5 follies? – not wanting to sound ungrateful, of course. We'll save about R10K on stimming meds, but the rest of the cost and effort is still the same.
The excellent news is that 100 mg of Clomid might be enough stims for me if we want to do IVF next cycle. The less good news is that I'm maybe a bit too hyper for us to try more Clomid IUIs in future.
Homework question to me and DH is whether to switch to IVF this month if there's 5 Clomid follies at Wednesday's scan? So we've got to ask ourselves: are you feeling lucky?
Someone sent me this poem today and I've been laughing ever since 😀
A Woman's Poem
He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake,
He said my biscuits were too hard
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned and
smacked the s#!t out of him…
Like his mother used to do.
I started Clomid on Monday, seeing the FS next Monday for CD10 scan. IUI should be around 20 November – if all the right 'stars line up' nicely (figure of speech, not a true belief) for me and DH this month.
Exam went well!
By 3 am the morning before, I've crammed through the important material and exercises and felt calm. Fortunately, nothing focuses me like the blind panic the day before an exam. It was also the first time in months I managed to forget for a few waking hours that I'm not pregnant (yet) – which was almost cool.
Studying an undergraduate degree part-time at 35 while working full-time is a penalty I'm paying for making a career change a few years ago. This was the 26th subject out of 30. The 4 that's left is mostly programming and computer sciency stuff. I'm not sure how I'll manage when I (hopefully soon) fall pregnant, but guess it's best to only worry once it happens.
Had a lovely sleep yesterday afternoon and am feeling so much better today. 🙂
A dark and frantic night is looming ahead! I'm writing exam tomorrow at 8 am and simply couldn't and can't focus my scattered ttc brain on the study material. So here I am busy with a final monumental effort to try and cram the semester's work into a brain that can't be bothered during one night. 😯
Sheesh, I can't remember the last time I've been forced to pull an all-nighter. I tend to be more organised and better prepared (i.e. more nerdy). Since I'm not preggy, I plan to at least overdose on coffee to my heart's delight.
And my sister just called. She's trying hard to be supportive and it's not that I don't appreciate it. But I'm starting to think the one thing that would make me relax on this ttc journey, is if I could shove a textbook on Stage 4 endo up the ass of everyone telling me to 'just relax'!
Sorry about this vent – I'm feeling terribly grumpy and slightly jittery from the caffeine already. And this bad mood can only get badder during the night that stretches ahead.. 😦
PS: I promise to be nicer again tomorrow once the dust has settled on my side! Phew, what a whiny post that one is and I can surely only blame myself for not getting my rear in gear sooner.. 😐

WASHINGTON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - A California free speech group whose board of directors includes Google (GOOG.O) and Yahoo YHOO.O said on Monday it had asked U.S. trade officials to challenge China's Internet restrictions as a violation of global trade rules.
The issue threatens to further strain U.S.-China trade relations if the U.S. Trade Representative's office decides to take on the case. With China already the world's second-largest Internet market with over 162 million Web users, the commercial stakes are huge.
"China's censorship of the Internet, while fundamentally an issue of free speech and individual liberty, is also a significant barrier to U.S.-China commerce, and therefore, very much a trade issue," Peter Scheer, executive director of the California First Amendment Coalition, said in a statement that came as top U.S. officials were in Beijing for economic talks.
"In infringing the rights of its 1.2 billion citizens, China is also infringing the rights of American companies to sell goods and services to consumers in China, via the Internet," he said.
Internet giants Google and Yahoo have seats on the coalition's board of directors, but the bulk of the public interest group's members are West Coast newspapers and other traditional media companies, Scheer said in an interview.
"All media that has an interest in being read in China are subject to censorship, or at risk of censorship," Scheer said.
A recent report by Reporters Without Borders and the group China Human Rights Defenders said China's Internet censors were becoming more systematic and sophisticated in how they monitor the Web and eradicate content deemed sensitive.
Yahoo has been heavily criticized for helping identify a Chinese dissident who was later imprisoned by the government. At U.S. congressional hearing last month, the company's CEO apologized and said Yahoo was doing what it could to get the dissident, Shi Tao, released.
Tuesday marks the sixth anniversary of China's entry in the World Trade Organization, as well as the start of three days of U.S.-China trade and economic talks in Beijing.
Those discussions are expected to be dominated by more traditional market-access issues, as well as the United States' desire for Beijing to move more quickly to a more flexible, market-based currency exchange rate.
Scheer said he was encouraged by the interest the U.S. Trade Representative's office displayed in the coalition's case when he discussed it with them in late November.
"They asked the kind of questions that made it clear they were very engaged," Scheer said.
The case relies on a legal theory developed by Columbia University Law Professor Timothy Wu, who argued in a law review article last year that WTO agreements on goods and services could be used to challenge government censorship of the Internet.

Jess Vice/
I was struck by the keen sense of humor in content you've written. Would you agree that's essential for anyone in this field?
I think a sense of humor is an essential trait in general right now. But in content strategy and UX, yes, absolutely! Humor helps us keep our humanity in mind and connect more authentically with the people we're building for. It helps us think less of ourselves and listen to others. And when all else fails, humor is the first to reach for the Nutella and a spoon.
How did you initially get into content strategy and why have you moved into UX and user testing? Does content strategy inform any of what you're doing now, or vice versa?
I shifted from copywriting to content strategy in 2010 after Kristina Halvorson's book came out, and she started talking about a big, clear direction for CS. It felt like a natural next move for me: like taking a few steps back from writing the content into planning how the content campaigns and website should be pieced together. With a degree in English and writing, it made sense to look at the broader story lines and start considering the experience a user might have from end to end rather than the day-to-day craft of putting words together.
As I spent more and more time up to my eyeballs in CS, I kept talking about users and advocating for users and then wondering, "Who are our users and what do they actually think about our site? And how can we go beyond content to improve this experience?" I started reading everything I could on UX and talking about it to anyone who would listen. In content strategy, a lot of the research we do starts to bleed into user research - if you really want to know what people think about your brand, your site, your content, you have to talk to them directly. That's user research. And I had so many ideas for how to present information or smooth the experience for users that it made logical sense to step from high-level site strategy into experience mapping, user research, prototyping and user testing.
I think the progression from copy to content strategy to user experience has been very beneficial in building a systems thinking mindset. In the copy phase, I learned all the pieces and people that make a site or brand work, and I learned to talk to them in their languages. In content strategy, I learned to plan how those pieces and people interacted and to coordinate their efforts into work that was beneficial to users. Now, in UX, I find myself remembering all the things I wished I'd known about users as a content strategist, and trying to deliver insights and data that help content strategists, SEOs, and more as they plan sites and campaigns.
In your article, "Where do we go from mobile first," you say user-first thinking requires a shift in thinking about user context and how to meet their immediate needs regardless of platform. Can you give an example of how you've done that?
Of course! In content strategy, when we're planning site structure and looking at existing user flows, we talk a lot about continuity and pathing. Sometimes we talk about tasks, sometimes not. I've been working from the UX side to help shift our priorities toward task-based planning: what does a person want to DO when they come to our site? Are we facilitating that task or obscuring that task? How complicated is that task currently, and how could we make it simpler? That way I'm working with content strategists who are building for action-oriented sites, and the tests that I run can help determine priority, ease, and user needs around those actions. Tasks can be active in signing up, purchasing, or customizing, or active in education, research, and comparison. Gerry McGovern has been doing a ton of work and research in task-based user testing. I got to see him speak at An Event Apart last year, and I was jumping out of my skin to get back to work and focus my tests more clearly.
What do you see a lot of clients getting wrong or not understanding about UX or content strategy?
I'm still seeing a widespread trend of "We need [UX or Content Strategy]!" without understanding what the two disciplines are, what they offer, and how to empower them to success in individual organizations. In a lot of places, CS is still essentially blog management and content calendaring when it has the space and potential to offer so much insight into what works for an audience, why it works, and how to build on that success. UX is in a similar boat. It's often still an afterthought - "Oh, hey, we finished building our landing page. Would you look it over for UX?" (One of my favorite articles right now is "Hey can you 'do the UX' for us?" by Fabricio Teixeira.) I absolutely love that C-levels are aware of CS and UX and asking or advocating for them in their organizations. That's a huge first step! But I think there's still a lot of education left to do - at least once a week I have a conversation with a peer that ends with, "You can do that or find that out? That's amazing! How come I didn't know?"
There's also an upper limit we haven't hit yet in content strategy and user experience - we're still testing small, worrying over details. There are so many times I get a test request and just ask, "Do you think this is a better experience than what you have on your site right now?" If the answer is yes, we don't bother testing - implement the better ideas and test into the new functionalities, the new flows, the "crazy" ideas that keep you awake at night. The internet has been kind of the same for the last eight-ish years (from a user's perspective). What's next? How do we get there? How do we keep leveling the playing field until we get a fast, intuitive, user-centric, device-agnostic internet?
The amount of available content about content strategy and UX is overwhelming—how do you manage to sift through it?
My boss jokes that I've already read all the articles on the internet, but my bookmarks folders and Medium account and Twitter lists are still overflowing with things I haven't read yet. It's tough! Especially now that I'm in implementation and not as much research, there's very little time for reading. I've started subscribing to a few newsletters that aggregate good articles and news bullets in the industry. And I've been really careful with curating Twitter lists of highly relevant folks who specialize in UX, SEO, content strategy, interaction design, information architecture, testing and data, etc. I still feel like, even on a good week with a couple hours of reading, I'm about two years behind!
Where do you see experience design and research going in the next few years?
I think the trends we're seeing in experience design will continue: voice activated, touch or gesture controlled, faster, more mobile-centric. Those are all in the works and still being refined. But I think we're also going to see a huge emphasis on accessibility in the next year or two. Google's already monitoring mobile experiences and pushing for building things "users first." The next logical frontier is "all users" - no matter where in the world they are, what devices they have access to, or what abilities they do or do not have. And I think that's going to suddenly bring the internet into a new age - there will be legal changes and requirements around accessibility, net neutrality is going to continue being more and more talked over, and the digital is going to run smack up against the tangible. I know this sounds kind of ominous and grand, but I think it won't be so much a revolution as a continuous honing of the internet as a tool to build a global community.
What gives you the most satisfaction from what you're doing and why?
I love finding answers for people - in test results, in case studies, in articles and research. I love a good challenge and being left a bit to my own devices to solve that challenge. User testing is just that, all bundled up together. I'm offered a problem from a marketing team, given the space to develop multiple solutions and do research around what others have already tried, and given the tools to test each experience thoroughly. Then I get to sit with the team and go over the results, talk through their ideas and insights, and set a plan to move forward. It's so many parts people, strategy, users, and research - I love coming to work every day. It doesn't hurt that the CRO team I sit on is some of the smartest, funniest people I've ever had the privilege to work with.

University Baptist in Hattiesburg, MS. The four banners were hung for the first Sunday of Advent, November 30, and were warmly received by the congregation. Many people wanted to know how these came about, so here is their story.
A Cut Above, by Sarah Brogdon, featured cut-away felt banners in many designs. I had never made anything like this but thought the project looked possible and agreed to lead it. We ordered four patterns, royal blue felt, and netting and I enlisted several people to help in the construction. Since the only sewing involved was one line of stitching at the top and bottom to create rod pockets, anyone who could cut accurately with scissors and/or a rotary cutter could help. Workers were Kat Spangler, Joy Dunbar, Connie Benedict, Nancy Ratliff, Ellen Hall, Rosanne Crockett, and Rusty Edwards. Yes, Rusty used a rotary cutter as well as a glue gun.
|Ellen, Martha, Kat
This was definitely a team effort and if work can be enjoyed, this certainly was. We had four workdays with three or four people working around my large dining room table, which had been covered with a gridded cardboard pattern board and self-healing mats. We used rotary cutters for straight lines; sharp scissors were essential for tight curves. Since none of us had done this before, we frequently consulted the directions to be sure we were proceeding correctly.
The patterns were for wall hangings 24" x 36" and we enlarged them to 48" x 72" for the outside ones (angel and kings) and 48" x 96" for the center ones (shepherds and family). After cutting the felt, netting was secured to the back with hot glue guns. The netting is what holds the shape of the banner. Between workdays it was necessary to keep the work area covered with a sheet to protect from kitty paws, but Rah-Rah managed to find a finished folded up banner for a brief nap.

Have you ever used Dropbox? Then you have a fair idea of how file transfer sites work. Well, there is a new kid in town and it's called Any Send. It uses a similar concept as the Dropbox, where you can drag and drop your file(s). So there is nothing new there. What AnySend does have going for it is the fact that it does have a desktop application for Windows or MacOS X using which you can just drag and drop your file(s). It also has an easy to use app (for Android and iOS) as well. And the best thing is that while using the desktop application, there is no limit on the size of the files that can be transferred. We doubt this will last as the product picks on, but for now, this does give it an edge over the more established players. It is still in the Beta phase so there might be a few kinks in it's armor, but all things considered, it is still a good alternative to some of the other heavier sites out there.
The concept and execution of Any Send works with more platforms. Once you have the app installed on multiple devices on the same Wi-Fi network, just copy a file to the clipboard, or open it in the mobile app, then click the name of the device you want to send it to. Within seconds, the file will appear on the target device. The concept is simple, but the execution is pretty much flawless.
Included below is a video that gives a brief overview of Any Send.

Five Facts About Manatees for National Manatee Day
Florida has spent the last three decades trying to increase the number of manatees that live in the waters just off the coast of the state. Back in the early 1990s, there were only about 1,300 of them. It's why federal wildlife officials eventually placed them on the endangered species list. But in 2016, the… Read more »

Can the Tax Cut Boost Stocks?
Stocks are already expensive and a tax-cut profit boost won't change that much
Businesses stand to get a profit windfall from the Republican tax bill, but after this year's stock market rally, the gains won't make their shares look cheap.
Stocks have risen sharply this year, and valuations have become increasingly stretched as a result. After climbing 19%, the S&P 500 now trades at 18.4 times expected earnings versus a forward price-earnings ratio of 16.8 at the outset of the year, according to FactSet. That is the richest it has been in 15 years. The cyclically adjusted P/E ratio popularized by economist Robert Shiller stands at 32.3, a level only exceeded just before the 1929 crash and during the dot-com bubble.
But this year's stock market gains have been based in part on an expectation that congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump would pass a significant corporate tax cut. With House and Senate Republicans working on Friday toward a final version of the tax bill, passage looks increasingly certain.
The question now is how much of the profit windfall has already been priced into the market. In a preliminary analysis of the tax plan's effect, based on the tax plans the House and Senate separately passed last month, Goldman Sachs strategists found that S&P 500 profits would get a 5% boost. The final tax plan doesn't appear quite so generous—the corporate tax rate is set, for now, at 21% rather than the 20% congressional Republicans initially aimed for—but a ballpark figure of 5% still seems reasonable.
While investors have priced in at least some portion of a tax cut into stocks, analysts don't appear to have incorporated the profit gains into their estimates for 2018 earnings. A 5% boost in earnings would lower the forward P/E ratio to 17.6, making the market slightly cheaper than it is today. (The forward P/E includes this year's fourth quarter which will be unaffected by the tax cut.) That is still above where it was at the start of the year, when stocks were already looking expensive. Make the same 5% adjustment to Mr. Shiller's measure, and it falls to 30.8—still lagging only the period before the 1929 crash and during the dot-com bubble.
Of course, it is possible that the tax plan boosts economic growth, which would add even more oomph to earnings than is readily apparent. As for Mr. Shiller's measure, it may be elevated, in part, for technical reasons, making stocks appear somewhat more expensive than they actually are.
Still, stocks are finishing the year with steep valuations. The only way the market can go higher in 2018 will be if earnings surge, or if valuations go steeper still.

Happy Thanksgiving!
To all my USA based friends,
Yesterday I took my husband to the doctor once again. This time they removed the brace and put on a cast.
Oh wait, I did say I wouldn't say anymore about my husband's leg. I'm sorry, I lied. I didn't mean to, but I did. I just really want to share this process!
I asked if could take pictures. The doctor said "Yes".
Here's the process.
First, wrap the leg in a soft bandage - in this case it took three packs of bandages. This is going to be a long cast!
Then, once it all gets wrapped up, start putting on some of the cast material itself. Dip it in water and let it harden, rubbing the material to itself to form a nice hard shell.
And here he is - cast and all! Now it's something new to get used to!
So, today we are thankful for the cast.
I was also thinking about living back in Bible days. I wonder how people who got a broken leg survived then. Especially the children of Israel as they wandered around the wilderness for 40 years. That would have been tough. I suppose people just carried them around til they were well.
It made me thankful I live nowadays!
For those of you who are curious, this is what it cost -
Doctor's visit - 250 zl or $70 USD
x rays - 80 zl or $22 USD
supplies for cast - 330 zl or $93 USD
putting on the cast itself - 288 zl or $81 USD
medicine - 411 zl or $116 USD
So, all in all, it was a kind of expensive day at the doctor.
We are to go back December 13 to get the cast off .
Have a great day no matter where you are!
Don't forget - my sis has a Black Friday Special coming for you over in the shop area!

We launched our 2012 Devops Survey back in December, in collaboration with Gene Kim and Jez Humble. It was our intent to gain better understanding of the state of DevOps today and share it with the world.
We wanted to see whether people cared about DevOps, and what they were doing about it. Our goal was to benchmark the performance, benefits & barriers, demographics, tooling and community across the spectrum of Devops adoption.
While we're still crunching some of the more advanced (and more interesting) data, we wanted to share some of the demographics of the survey population. At the end of this post, we'll share some a sneak peak of some of the analysis, and you'll have some idea of why Gene, Jez and I are jumping up and down with excitement.
Who took the survey?
Your response to the survey was astonishing, with nearly 6x the number of respondents we saw in 2011, from over 90 countries. In fact, this is the largest DevOps survey ever conducted, with responses from over 4,000 IT Operations and Engineering professionals.
While we did a pretty good job getting a lot of operations and development professionals surveyed, we're already thinking of ways to survey more QA folks in the future.
As you can see, the vast majority of respondents were hands-on technical people, which is great! Most of the DevOps practices we asked about are performed by the team member, not the C-level executive.
We set out to include a wide variety of organizations, from tiny start-ups to established companies. We also wanted to learn about a good cross-section of team sizes.
Design of the Survey
When conducting a benchmark or survey like this, there are two primary phases: survey design and survey analysis. In the design phase, we create a survey instrument based on the question we want to answer or the hypothesis we want to test. In the analysis phase, we use tools like SPSS, R and Google Refine to tabulate the data, analyze it and prove or disprove the hypothesis.
The DevOps Survey Of Practice was modeled after many of the techniques that Gene used in his 5+ years of benchmarking over 1300 IT organizations with the IT Process Institute. You can read more about the methodology and results in this blog post.
Our survey design goals were to better understand:
- The cultural perceptions and organizational penetration of the DevOps movement
- The relationship between DevOps practices and business performance
- The requisite skills and tools for DevOps implementation
We'll discuss how we measured #2, as it was Jez and Gene's primary area of interest. What are the high performing DevOps shops doing, and what were they doing that differentiated their performance?
We created two sets of questions. The first were the independent variables—these were the DevOps behaviors, processes and practices that we hypothesized would correlate with performance.
- Who performs code deployments? (Dev, Ops, or both?)
- Who is on the hook for production support (i.e., when something goes wrong during or post deployment, who gets paged)?
- Are environment and infrastructure changes (everything except for code) checked into revision control?
- Is there an automated process to deploy environment and infrastructure changes?
- Does some compliance requirement (e.g., regulatory, security) restrict your ability to make changes more frequently?
The other set of questions were the dependent variables, which are performance measures that we believe are dependent on the behaviors, processes and practices. They are listed below:
- How often does your organization deploy code? (Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly?)
- What percentage of your changes require rollbacks or hotfixes?
- How long does it take to restore service when something goes wrong?
- What is your lead time for changes (i.e., how long does it take to go from code committed to code successfully running in production)?
Gene and I have been using R to analyze the data, and holy crap! There's signal! There's definitely early indications that there is strong correlation between specific DevOps practices and improved performance!
Here's a sneak peek at a (deliberately blurry) diagram that we'll explain in the next article:
Here's how Gene, Jez and I felt about it:
And we're looking forward to sharing the information with you! We'll be back on the blog sometime next month with our more robust results.

One issue in the case is whether the jury should be allowed to hear a recording of Wolfe's piece by his band.
The trial judge in the 2016 trial did not allow jurors to hear the original recordings because copyright law in 1967 covered only written sheet music and not music recordings. Instead, the jurors listened to a later partial reconstruction based on the sheet music.
A second issue is establishing the correct jury instructions on exactly which elements or arrangements of elements of music are protected by copyright.
Chief Circuit Judge Sidney Thomas said in an order that the 11-judge panel will hear arguments on the case in San Francisco during the week of Sept. 23.

In 2008, architecture firms lined up for the opportunity to pitch their plans to build a new iconic baseball stadium in the heart of Miami's Little Havana neighborhood. It was a dream contract, and firms clambered to win it.
While many of the pitches focused on design elements and amenities like a retractable roof, new-age materials, luxury boxes, enhanced concession stands, club seating, and other revenue producing features, one architecture firm took a different approach. One firm took a winning approach.
Populous, a global architecture firm, began by doing their research. And while their exploration inevitably included understanding the site, the city, the team, and attributes of state-of-the-art stadiums, it also included a critical yet often overlooked subject--their audience.
At the time of the pitch the Miami Marlins were owned by Jeffrey Loria, a distinguished art collector and gallery owner in New York City. This was the boss. This was the decision maker. And understanding that this was their audience led Populous to develop the winning approach.
Instead of framing the pitch around their innovative design elements, aesthetic vision, credentials, or past projects, Populous elected to frame the pitch in the language and ideas their audience loved; they elected to talk about art with Jeffrey Loria.
Populous focused on the stadium as "a piece of art." They said, "For the first time, you can embrace art and architecture and baseball in one building form. It's not just the art in the building, but the building itself is a piece of art." They advanced the idea by likening the Little Havana neighborhood to a gallery where the new stadium would form the "gallery walls." Finally, they crafted the memorable moniker, "Pure Art! Pure Color! Pure Baseball!" to define their approach.
By doing their research and taking time to learn about the Marlin's owner, Populous spoke his language, framed their pitch around his passion, told him what he needed to hear, and ultimately won the contract.
What Populous did is what we at The Professional Communicators call an 'audience audit,' and it is a critical lesson to anyone trying to convince someone of something.
Whether you're giving a sales pitch, conducting a client retention call, energizing your team, coordinating collaborators, persuading leadership to run with your vision, or inspiring potential investors, it's essential that you understand your audience, carefully catalog their attributes, and deliver what they need to hear. You need to perform an audience audit.
While some speakers will short-cut this process and simply characterize their audience in generic terms--doctors, professors, company executives, regulators, potential investors, etc.--you should delve deeper. Take time to formally assess who they are, how they think, and what they believe. Research their background, biases, motivations, passions, and reason for being in your audience.
In a nutshell, your audience audit should:
List the common characteristics of your audience, including, age, education, gender, ethnicity, etc;
Catalog your audience's common and collective interests and objectives;
Investigate whether your audience has any shared ideological or political ideals;
Define each audience member's motivation for listening to you. Is there a common motivation or is it different for different people?
Identify subjects, catchphrases, terminology, and/or examples that are particularly poignant to your audience;
Understand your audience's anxieties, fears, pressure points, and struggles, and contrast those with your audience's hopes, aspirations, and shining visions. Define how you can alleviate the former and realize the latter.
Doing the investigative leg work on your audience and formally writing down the result will give you the understanding you need to speak their language, win their hearts, convince their minds, connect with them, and deliver a resonate message.
Populous used the audience audit to talk art, hit a homerun, and win a contract for a $515 million dollar baseball stadium. Now it's your turn at the plate. What will an audience audit do for you?

There's been a lot of speculation about who presumed Republican nominee John McCain will choose for his running mate. Our own Gov. Mark Sanford has been mentioned as a possibility, along with several others. But I'm going to suggest a bolder move, one that would seize the banner of change from the Democrats - Joe Lieberman.
SLED's election roadblock
Has anyone running for office this year been convicted of a crime?
Good question. It's one reporters often look into when candidates file for office. But lately, the State Law Enforcement Division - the keepers of criminal records in South Carolina - has made that more costly and, in effect, more difficult to answer.
Anyone can check a person's criminal history if you have that person's name and date of birth. And $25. SLED typically waives the fee for reporters seeking a criminal background check on a person involved in a crime story. They call it a "courtesy." I call it turning over public information that should be free in the first place. Either way, we're eternally grateful.
Not long ago, newspapers were simply limited to a few free criminal record checks a day - a nice arrangement. But sometime over the last year, the public information office began asking why we wanted a criminal record check. Most of the time, if we're working on a crime story, it's fine. Otherwise, that'll be $25. And that's the problem.

I have to give Simon Cowell props for not making fun of Abdul. It was a good performance, but it wasn't worth Abdul foaming at the mouth.

By Beth d'Aoust
VANCOUVER — Darcy Michael may be racking up film and television credits and relishing the success of his recent comedy album, Family Highs, which shot to #1 on iTunes shortly after its release this past spring, but as we chat on this blustery morning, he's tidying his office and cleaning his cats' litter boxes – activities he claims keep him humble. A family man, recently appreciating some downtime at home with his husband and daughter in Ladner after years of non-stop travel to Toronto and L.A. for work, Michael is enjoying a bit of domestic bliss. "I secretly just want to make enough money that I can be a comfortable housewife," Michael jokes. "Cleaning the litter box and making homemade ginger juice and burning sage, that's my shit."
This recent change in pace is only temporary, however, as Michael has been hard at work writing scripts for Darcy — a show in development for CTV, based on Michael and his husband Jeremy's experiences as a gay couple raising their daughter in a small town. "The way I sold the show originally was I wanted to make a gay Roseanne," laughs Michael. "Because, you know, it's about a blue collar, kind of not rich family making ends meet. And that's kind of how Jer and Grace and I started." It's no surprise that Michael has gravitated toward this fresh take on a familiar premise, given his description of his own upbringing in a loving, unpretentious household in small town Ontario. "My parents definitely shaped who I am as a comedian. And my whole family. Most of the memories that I still have from being a kid are of us laughing or doing something stupid. […] Food fights are still a big thing in our family […] Handful of spaghetti across the room? Let's dance!"
Considering the marital bliss Michael has enjoyed for over a decade here in Canada, we couldn't help but digress to the topic of recent political affairs south of the border. As an artist considerably invested in politics and social justice, Michael is a tad deflated. "It's a nightmare. I guess we all now know how racists felt when Obama got elected." Determined to look for a positive, however, he adds that "repression breeds art. Fear breeds art. The silver lining is that we're going to create some amazing protest art over the next four years." And we look forward to the birth of Michael's particularly irreverent breed of protest art in years to come.
It's been a while since Michael's schedule has allowed him to perform in his home clubs, so he looks forward to reuniting with long time friend and fellow comedian, Ivan Decker, for their upcoming New Year's Eve show. "Ivan's my comedy brother, we started together. Well…" quips Michael, "I'd prefer if we were comedy boyfriends, but he's pretty dead set on staying straight." To experience Michael's unapologetic sass and good-natured ribbing of fellow comedians in person, head down to The Comedy Mix on New Year's Eve.
Darcy Michael headlines The Comedy Mix December 29-30. On December 31, Darcy performs in a Triple Header with Ivan Decker, Chris James and host, Kevin Banner.

Fred's (YUM).
Oh hi yummiest place in Ann Arbor...
We recently took a trip to Ann Arbor to do a collaboration with Graduate Ann Arbor. We had the opportunity to hang out in one of Michigan's cutest cities and try some of the local hot spots. We kept hearing that we should be trying Fred's so we head over there for brunch. It's one of the most visually beautiful restaurants I have ever been to. It's everything lovely/boho chic that you could hope for. Since we are all Instagram nerds, we went hard in the paint taking photos. As if that wasn't enough, add in some acai bowls, smoothies, and avocado toast...YEAS.
If you find yourself in Ann Arbor (or within reasonable driving distance) add this little gem to your route. And then order the avo toast...thank me later. Follow along with them @fredslol on Instagram.

Navy Has a New Way to Detect Enemy Ships in the Pacific
The U.S. Navy will be sending a new high-tech sea drone to detect enemy ships and other targets at sea in the Pacific.
The Navy has been working with Northrup Grumman to develop the Triton unmanned aircraft system. Northrup Grumman said in a statement the drone, called the MQ-4C, will provide real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over vast ocean and coastal regions.
The Triton Program Manager told Scout Warrior, "Triton is tracking with its baseline configuration which will be used for an initial operational employment in spring 2018."
Northrup Grumman said the Triton drone will be supported by land-based command and control mission planner and sensor operators. The Triton will be equipped with a mission sensor suite that provides a 360-degree coverage on all sensors, "providing unprecedented maritime domain awareness for the U.S. Navy."

Ministers rush to support Boris Johnson over jailed aid worker
The foreign secretary was backed by fellow Leavers David Davies and Michael Gove
British ministers have rallied around the embattled foreign secretary Boris Johnson throughout Sunday, claiming that he was doing a "great job" and that despite his ill-considered remarks about the jailed Iranian-British aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe which have potentially increased her sentence he should not resign.
The coordinated defence is part of attempts to shore up the government of prime minister Theresa May, weakened by a series of scandals and gaffes involving her top team of ministers as she negotiates Britain's departure from the European Union. The Sunday Times reported that 40 of her own MPs were now calling for her to step down.
Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn called on May to sack Johnson, writing in The Observer newspaper on Sunday that "we've put up with him embarrassing and undermining our country through his incompetence ... for long enough. It's time for Boris Johnson to go."
Corbyn, and fellow Labourite Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, said Johnson had offended states and religions before "bungling" the case of Iranian-British aid worker Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who is serving five years in an Iranian prison after being convicted of plotting to overthrow Iran's clerical establishment. She denies the charges.

UK foreign secretary shrugs off resignation call after Iran blunder
Two of Mr Johnson's allies, Brexit minister David Davis and environment minister Michael Gove, defended the foreign secretary, who last week said he could have been clearer in his remark that Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe had been teaching people journalism before her arrest in April 2016.
Her employer, the Thomson Reuters Foundation, said Johnson's comment made on November 1 was incorrect, while opposition MPs said the remarks could land the aid worker a longer term in jail.
"Why would you want to sack him? He's a good foreign secretary," Mr Davis told Sky News.
Mr Gove urged critics to stop focusing on Johnson's role in the case and instead to question the motivation of what he called "the Iranian regime" in jailing Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
"There is no reason, no excuse and no justification for her detention and she should be released," he told Andrew Marr on the BBC.
Later, Sky News cited sources as saying Johnson had held a "constructive" phone call with her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, who has called on the minister to visit his wife in jail.

Reap What You Sew seed wallet
I am back home after 11 days at Westmead Children's Hospital with my daughter. We have returned with new medications to try, and a diagnosis of Chronic Daily Headache. The bottom line is that we have long term chronic pain to contend with, and that there are no quick fixes. We are worn out with it all, but determined for recovery, however long it takes.
The last few months have seen very little stitching from me. However, the companion project to my garden apron has just been published in Australian Homespun magazine.
I made a fold-up wallet for storing seed packets. It can be hung in the garden shed for easy access, or stored folded.
There are four sets of pockets, one set for each season. My idea is to store seeds according to the season they should be sown. When that season rolls around, I can quickly find the appropriate seeds and get them into the garden. That's the theory anyway :)
Below the pockets, there are 5 small elasticised keepers for storing pens and pencils, and a larger keeper for a garden notebook.
The weather is slowly warming here in Australia, and with it, the incentive to get out in the garden is building.
The stress of caring for my daughter has taken its toll on my enthusiasm for stitching, gardening and even blogging over the past few months. But the concern and warm support expressed to us through this blog have sustained me, and I'm sure my mojo will return soon! Love to you, Bloom x

Tuesday, 1/22/08, I ate...
6oz berry smoothie
24oz raw body shake
12oz banana and romaine lettuce smoothie
2 bowls raw tomato soup (yum, yum)
3-4 handfuls raw corn chips (dipped in my soup)
2 handfuls nuts
1 gala apple
5 carob brownies (very good)
and lots and lots of water
Wednesday, 1/23/08, I ate...
6oz berry smoothie
24oz raw body shake
12oz mango, parsley, and romaine lettuce smoothie
2 handfuls mixed nuts
5 dates
3 carob brownies
1 apple
1 banana
handful of raw coconut meat
1 smart monkey bar
1 raw vegan bar
1 cup raw coconut water
2 1/2 raw almond butter nut cookies
lots and lots and lots of water
(I was in a lot of pain more than usual. Since I had to take pain meds, and because I didn't eat enough, I was a little nauseous for a while. I have to learn to eat more calories when I'm going through this "pain" issue).
Today, Thursday, 1/24/08
6oz berry smoothie
24oz raw body shake
12oz raw green juice feast (tomato, cucumber, romaine lettuce, parsley, apple, and water)
2 carob brownies
1/2 cup raw cacao, coconut, macadamia nut iced cream
1 smart monkey carob bar
5 raw veggie rolls (cauliflower, carrot, cucumber, celery, parsley, red bell pepper, mushrooms, sesame seeds, avocado, nama shoyu, sea salt, raw nori sheets)
1 banana
3 dates
handful raw almonds
lots and lots and lots of water
Well that puts me up to date with my daily raw. Now for today's update on me...
I'm still dealing with my chronic pain, and looking forward to making arrangements with the chiropractor, and seeing my doctor. Fortunately, my friend at work is a masseuse, and has been giving me massages to work the painful areas during our breaks at work. I'm grateful for that.
Today I tried to take it easy at work, and at home. The only thing I pushed was making my veggie rolls...which were delicious! I was inspired once again by another recipe found at the sunny raw kitchen site. Carmella has great stuff!
Anyway, tomorrow I plan to make my girlfriend some carob brownies. She is allergic to cacao, but likes sweet things. I'm trying to help convert her to raw...at least vegan...then hopefully, maybe raw. She and her daughter are already vegetarian, and trying to make changes in their diet. I know she's looking forward to the brownies. She's always interested in trying my goodies -- as most of my friends and co-workers are...lol.
I also plan to finish up my graphics art assignment over the weekend. No need to drag it out any longer. Then if time permits, I'll try to catch up on my participation in the internship program. Other than that, I need to just do what I can, and not try to do it all at the same time. Well, I think I'll turn in for tonight. I'll have more tomorrow. It's Friday you know!
Have a great night, and a great tomorrow!
ttfn - Debbie :)

text: Wynwood has been a huge inspiration to me and the pieces all over the walls there are from some of my absolute favorite artists. Painting there for the first time was a little nerve wracking since I'm generally full of doubt about my work, especially when it's surrounded by work from masters. The support and enthusiasm from everyone as I was painting quickly made that nervous feeling go away and made the experience something I will never forget!! This is right across from Panther Coffee in Wynwood - on NW 2ne Ave, just before 24th St.

Treatment for squints
There are four common treatments for a squint:
Glasses can help a squint if it is caused by a problem with the child's eyesight, such as myopia (short sight).
Eye exercises for muscle control can help the eyes work together.
Surgery might be an option in the event that glasses aren't helping to resolve a squint. The surgery involves moving the muscles that control the eye so that it can line up as it should.
Injections into the eye muscle can also help in the short term by weakening the muscles so that the eye can align itself.
Some children may have a lazy eye as a result of the squint, which may need to be treated first.
Types of squint and diagnosis
There are several types of squints, based on which way the eye with the squint is looking.
- Exotropia – when the eye is directed outwards
- Esotropia – when the eye is directed inwards
- Hypertropia – when the eye is directed upwards
- Hypotropia – when the eye is directed downwards
- Cyclotropia – combination of the above
Did you know an eye test could save your life?
For some of our customers, an appointment with Specsavers has not only saved their vision but in some cases it has saved their lives.
We're working with Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to help end avoidable sight loss and transform the nation's eye health.

We have noticed a new test being rolled out by Google this week, giving the option of filling out a second description field in extended text ads.
This second field also allows up to 80 characters and could potentially dramatically increase the on page real-estate the ads take up.
According to Search Engine Land's Ginny Marvin, when asked about the change a Google spokesperson said only that, "Google is constantly testing out new products and features to improve user and advertiser experience."
It is no surprise that Google is testing larger ads as search still pays most of the bills and is a critical revenue stream for the company.
Why should you care?
Location, Location, Location. If it is all about prime real-estate then increasing the size of AdWords text ads can potentially push other search results lower down the page.
More is not always better however so we will be monitoring and testing to see the impact the new format has on results and making well-balanced, informed decisions based on performance data.
Note: All AdWords users should now be running Extended Text Ads as, while the old standard text ads are still able to run, you can no longer create text ads in the old short format.
