Barrington Irving Says Anything Is Possible to Students at NBAA2012 Career Day
November 1, 2012
On the morning of Nov. 1, the day when aviation pioneer Barrington Irving was to present at Career Day at NBAA2012, a pileup stopped traffic on Orlando's I-4, stranding students traveling to the event. While half of the students expected had already arrived at the Orange County Convention Center, the other half still were nearly two hours away, so Irving gave his presentation twice – evidence of Irving's dedication to these aspiring aviators and his passion for aviation.
When Irving told how he became the youngest pilot, and the first African American, to fly solo around the world, the lesson he wanted students to take away was that success depends on "how bad you want it."
Irving Inspires Students With Personal Story
Growing up in one of Miami's toughest neighborhoods, Irving didn't want much for his life until he was 15, when a United Airlines captain walked into his parents' store and asked Irving if he'd considered being a pilot. Irving said only, "I don't think I'm smart enough to fly an airplane." But soon, Irving came to believe he could, giving up a football scholarship to the University of Florida to take flight lessons. Not long after, he believed he could fly around the world.
Once he had that dream, he never stopped striving for it. Unable to afford an airplane, he asked manufacturers to donate the parts. It took two-and-a-half years of hitting the pavement before securing his first sponsor. "I drove all the way from Miami to Mobile, AL, eating one sandwich a day. I brought plenty of deodorant, because I didn't have enough money to stay in a motel."
At 23, he embarked on his 97-day journey, flying through sandstorms and monsoons, and running into language barriers and technical challenges. "In life, everything is not going to be perfect, out on a silver platter," Irving said. "How bad do you want to succeed? Are you willing to work hard?"
For most of the students at Career Day, the answer was "yes," because they shared Irving's passion for aviation. "I think it's pretty awesome, the adventures he's had flying around the world," said one 16-year-old from the local chapter of the Civil Air Patrol. The student said that Irving's presentation showed him that "aviation is a good way to travel the world and impact people's lives."
Students Encouraged to Pursue Math and Science
Irving encouraged the students to take advantage of NBAA's Convention the way he did at 22. "One of my first life-changing experiences happened here, during an NBAA Convention," said Irving. "This is a place to ask questions, ask for business cards. I came here back in 2005 and picked up four sponsors for my solo flight," he said. "I haven't missed an NBAA Convention since."
During the Q&A, a young woman from First Coast High School in Jacksonville, FL, asked Irving simply, "Are there any women in aviation?" The high school junior and her class had driven three hours to the Convention. She wanted to join the U.S. Air Force and become a civil engineer but worried about pursuing a career in math and science-related fields, currently both male-dominated fields. Irving told her there are women in aviation, but not enough, so there are plenty of opportunities.
In fact, the other lesson Irving had for the students – and one he tries to instill through his Experience Aviation program – is "Everything I've done, I've only been able to do because of math and science."

New Delhi: The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) will seek response from CBI on the issue of missing files related to multi-crore coal blocks allocation scam being probed by the investigating agency.
The Commission will ask the CBI to give details on the issue of missing files related to the coal scam and also on whether or not it was hampering or going to hamper its investigation, official sources said.
They said the CVC may also seek details from Ministry of Coal on the matter.
The CVC, which exercises superintendence over CBI to oversee corruption cases probe, had in May last year asked the the agency to look into matter of coal blocks allocated to private companies between 2006 and 2009. The CBI is looking into the allocation of coal mines post-1993 to ascertain any wrongdoing during the NDA regime.
The CBI has registered three preliminary inquiry and 13 FIRs so far in the case.
The move came up after Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal on August 17 had said that some files related to coal block allocations were missing.
Following Jaiswal`s remarks, BJP has targeted the government and paralysed Parliament over the issue and demanded a statement by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The Coal Ministry had then hurriedly formed a committee to look into the matter.
Bowing down to the demands of an agitated and dissatisfied opposition, the Coal Minister had on Friday made a detailed statement in Rajya Sabha over the issue and said that "it would be wrong to classify any file or document as missing at this stage when an inter-ministerial committee is actively engaged in locating these papers".

text: Some competitors were thrown for a loop during Thursday's All-American Triathlon at Wooton Park in Tavares. Jeff Cuddeback of Orlando, the apparent winner after crossing the finish line first, was disqualified after he admitted failing to navigate one of the mile loops in the bike course. Jayne Surdyka of Maitland, the top woman finisher, said that she went an extra mile by going through one loop twice because there was no one to tell them where to turn. Race director Gena Swartz defended the course saying that there were plenty of pylons and arrows to direct the racers. ''Two people might have had trouble, but 256 didn't.'' Jim Calhoun of Orlando, Cuddeback's roomate, was awarded first place out of 230 finishers with a time of 49 mintues, 13 seconds for the 5K run, 15K bike course and 500-meter swim. Local age group top finishers included Dick Thieler of Clermont who won the 40-44 age group and finished 11th overall in 53:19. Scott Colburn of Eustis finished second in the 14 and under category (60:47) and Kevin Long who finished third (62:42). Angie Turza of Altoona won the women's 15-19 age group (88:09) and Rissie Thieler of Clermont finished second in women's 35-39 (63:33).

The white pills with brown flecks looked like Ecstasy to the undercover officer who bought them at a Schaumburg nightclub. But police were surprised when lab results indicated they had confiscated 2C-B, or Nexus, a more potent party pill surfacing in the Chicago area.
Considered an emerging club party drug, 2C-B has been increasingly sighted in the U.S. in the past three years. The confiscation of two tablets in Schaumburg in July came after the seizure of about 8,200 capsules of 2C-B during an operation in March 2000 in Chicago, police said.

Google has made a solid commitment to chase the 4K HDR crowd with the Chromecast Ultra. Meet the wafer-sized streaming device that can receive 4K HDR signal from any mobile device that's on your network.
It may be a small device with big promises, but what makes this version of Google's tiny streaming device so special?
First up, it's 'Ultra' not only because it's capable of 4K playback and HDR video. It also has an ethernet port, as well as improved internal components, which means that videos load faster and are less prone to slow down.
Those features help Google's latest iteration of the streamer feel more premium than its predecessor without necessarily offering a major departure in terms of form factor or available content.
For 1080p TV owners that means the current $69 (£69 or about AU$90) Chromecast is more of an expensive half-step upgrade rather than a massive leap up. But, for those who recently picked up a 4K TV and can't stand its built-in smart software, making the jump to Chromecast Ultra is an easy decision.
Before we dive into what makes the Chromecast Ultra worthy of its superlative title (and trust us, it's very well-deserving), let's talk about its two major shortcomings: the lack of a remote and the Chromecast's inability to pool content on your TV screen due to the lack of a standard user interface.
You can find the best Chromecast Ultra deals below.
Not having a place on the TV to find fresh videos can be annoying for some folks used to flipping through television stations, and downright confusing for anyone who can't wrap their head around sending content from their phone, laptop or tablet the TV.
Chromecast Ultra, therefore, is perfect for tech-savvy people who can use their phone or tablet to send video to the big screen, and who don't necessarily need a user interface to surface content for them to watch. But buying it as a gift for someone who might not know their Google Cast from their Bluetooth might not go over as well.
OK, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk dive into what makes this Chromecast a solid option for some 4K HDR owners.
- Similar puck shape to the original Chromecast
- Adds an ethernet port to the power cable
- Only available in one color
Not much has changed in the design of the Chromecast Ultra – it's more or less the same puck-shape that we saw from the original Chromecast. And that's a very good thing considering that the last one was definitely one the sleekest, most minimalistic streaming devices on the planet.
An HDMI cable still juts out of one end of the disc while the other hosts a microUSB port used for charging – that charging cable, by the way, now needs to be plugged into a wall outlet via the included adapter, and can no longer be charged by a USB port on your TV – but the layman would be hard-pressed to pick out one from the other.
That said, to the trained eye there are three major differences and one minor one in the design department. The first is that, circumference-wise, the Ultra is just a hair bigger than the 2015 Chromecast. It's 58.20 mm in length now versus 51.81 mm on last year's model. It's not a big difference, though, and the Ultra still hides behind the TV with relative ease despite the gain.
The minor tweak is that the Ultra is currently only available in a single color, black, unlike the original version, which came in fun, eye-popping colors like coral and lemonade. Few will likely mourn the passing of these color options, admittedly, but it seemed like a nice option for the few who took advantage of it. Regardless, your color options here are more limited and it's something that might not change for some time.
Another major alteration Google's design team made, and the only one that will actually impact performance, is the addition of an ethernet port to the charging cable that plugs into the wall. For anyone who has a router close enough to the Chromecast, this would allow faster, more consistent streams over a wired connection, though you won't necessarily need to connect it via wires to get the speeds necessary for 4K.
Finally – and at this point we're just splitting hairs – instead of an engraved Chrome logo on the top face, you'll find a simple G. Why exactly that's changed is anyone's guess, however it seems to us that Google's prerogative is to disassociate the device with the browser and instead focus on how it interacts with other Google products such as the Home, something we'll discuss later on in the review.
Beyond those four noteworthy changes, though, everything else is exactly how you remember it. There's the coiled 802.11ac (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) Wi-Fi antenna tucked inside the casing for high-performance streaming and reset button along the outer rim that you can use to restart the system should it start acting up.
- There isn't one really
- But setup is quick and dead-simple
- You'll need to use the Google Home app
Once you run the included five-foot power cable into a wall outlet with the included adapter and plug in the ethernet cable, it'll be time to run through the new Chromecast's quick and easy setup process.
The process takes all of five minutes, most of which are spent actually downloading the Chromecast app from either the Google Play Store or iOS App Store and giving the Ultra minute to download the latest firmware.
You'll be asked to connect the Chromecast to your home wireless network (unless you're using a wired connection, of course) and finally you'll be met with a settings screen that will let you to choose to enable Guest Mode and wallpapers.
When you're not actively streaming something to the Chromecast, it will enter a screensaver mode that can display images from Google Photos, Facebook, Flickr, curated artwork, the weather and even headlines from top news sources.
Unlike the Apple TV or Telstra TV, there's no central hub for apps that you can browse on the TV itself. Chromecast is either taking content from your phone, tablet or PC, or simply displays pretty pictures until it's told to do otherwise.
That said, the Google Chromecast app – now rebranded as Google Home and discussed at length on the next page – serves as the main spot for checking out what content is available to stream and which apps you already have installed that work with your new streaming dongle.

Jess' Underground Kitchen started around my kitchen table. A friend was devouring one of my weeknight dinners and made a flippant comment: "I'd love to pay you to cook my meals during the week." It seemed like an interesting challenge!
We've come a long way since JUK's first Thai green chicken curry back in February 2013, when customers used to pick up from the pink house in Ponsonby. It grew organically, by word of mouth... a delicious secret club.
It didn't take long to realise that there was a gap in the market for freshly cooked, healthy convenience food. I never set out to fill it; I was just cooking the food I'd always cooked.
My week night dinners, but for hundreds instead of one.
Today, it's more of an overground kitchen! My first cookbook, My Underground Kitchen, was published in April 2015, and contains over 80 mouthwatering recipes for home cooks - including many of the meals that feature on the Underground Kitchen menu. My second cookbook, My Underground Deli, hit bookshelves in April 2017 and showcases 100 of our favourite recipes from the JUK delis.
In February 2016 I opened the doors to my flagship store - JUK Herne Bay. We serve up home cooking at its best - ready-to-heat meals, baking, seasonal salads and cabinet food, artisan deli goods and, of course, good coffee. Drop in and say hello!
We've also recently opened our second deli - JUK Remuera. On the corner of Bassett Road & Remuera Road, our light & breezy space is full of more Jess deliciousness and the home of our production kitchen.
What do guests remember most the day after? How good the food was!
From weddings and birthdays to corporate functions and office events, we'll work with you to create a custom menu packed with flavour that will set your special event apart from the rest.

One of the iconic focal points of the United Kingdom, Buckingham
Palace is the principal official residence of the British monarch.
The original building on the site was constructed in 1705, and was
named Buckingham House, before being bought by George III as a
private residence for his queen. Redeveloped extensively in the
19th century, it became the official residence of the British
monarch at the accession of Queen Victoria. Buckingham Palace is
used to host foreign dignitaries and lavish state banquets in the
state rooms, and these open annually for the public to visit during
August and September.
In Sherlock, the interiors of Buckingham Palace were actually
shot in the Drawing Room of Goldsmiths' Hall, home of The
Goldsmiths Company - the royally chartered craftsmen responsible
for testing the quality of gold, silver and platinum. Opened in
1835, the current Goldsmiths' Hall is the third building the
organisation has called home.
For Buckingham Palace: The nearest tube is St James' Park
[Circle, District]. On the roundabout, walk north up Queen Anne's
Gate until you emerge on Birdcage Walk. Turn left and proceed up
the road until you see Buckingham Palace on your right.
For Goldsmiths' Hall: The nearest tube is St Pauls' [Central].
Walk east down Cheapside, crossing over the intersection of New
Change. Turn into the first left onto Foster Lane, and Goldsmiths'
Hall will be visible on your right, on the junction of Foster Lane
and Carey Lane.

Our intensive six-week summer program includes four academic classes each weekday morning, afternoon elective classes, and educational field trips that take advantage of the City's resources. The students begin their day with classes in language arts, math, science and social studies every morning. In the afternoons, students take two classes--one academic elective, such as Spanish, French or debate, and one non-academic elective, such as journalism, gymnastics or a team sport. Our students complete between one and two hours of homework every night. On average, the student to teacher ratio is 4:1, which provides each student with the necessary guidance to flourish. The summer session generates enthusiasm for learning, develops essential study skills, and provides visions of college, careers and a positive future. The teachers and tutors are talented high school and college students recruited locally and nationally. They participate in six days of intensive teacher training prior to the start of the program, and they have full responsibility for curriculum development, classroom teaching, student evaluation, workshop design and leadership of clubs and advisories during the six-week program. Summerbridge's success as a teacher-training program and in particular, its success in drawing students of color into the field of teaching has earned national acclaim.

"UE4 The Corridor Project" was created out of need.
A need for a full step-by-step workflow on how to construct an environment from start to finish using Unreal Engine 4.
Prior to launch of "UE4 The Corridor Project", I released a 30+ minute video detailing an overview of how the environment was constructed. As of now (May 26, 2016) the video has been viewed 73,000+ times and liked over 1,100+ times. It is on its way to be the most popular video I ever put out.
But this isn't about the video.
It is about YOU - the WoLD tribe, who continues to watch the videos, reading the tutorials and learning more to become the best level designers and game environment artists.
Now, I want to share some of the submitted work from The Corridor Project as completed by you!
I really appreciate everyone who submitted their work. I am very thankful for your support. You make WoLD possible and it is why I spend so much on the website and on each tutorial. It is also why I will continue to do so!
I am very pleasantly surprised how much variety there is. I'm also a bit envious of some changes and additions I wish I came up myself at the time of creation.
All screenshots below were submitted by artists who have completed "UE4 The Corridor Project. List below is not presented in any specific order.
1. Jerry P.
Jerry took the Corridor to a whole new level. Image sharpness and addition of new complimentary color scheme (red and green) really makes this stand out and pop.
March 5, 2016
Jerry also shared a video fly-through with additional changes to geometry, lighting and atmosphere to make it unique.
2. Filipe G
Amazing work by Filipe. I was blown away when I saw this. Filipe took the "UE4 Corridor" assets and went beyond to create a "Research Facility" with additional custom assets of his own.
Research Facility - UE4 from Filipe Gonçalves:
3. Damin Design
I think Damian had a lot of fun with trying different spaces and layouts for the Corridor. Damian even added custom decal room numbers on each door as explained in UE4 Decals tutorial series.
Hello all :),— Damian Sobczyk (@DaminDesign) March 13, 2016
I public another great Project Storey Building ;).
Enjoy and like it :).
DaminDesign. pic.twitter.com/Rk3VVPLedz
4. Alex S.
Alex made the Corridor more spacious by extending the walls, columns and windows up. It makes the space open and creates the illusion that there is a lot more to this environment than what we see.
Makes me want to explore.
5. Adam B.
Adam created a tight hotel style Corridor with low-key lighting. There is a nice repeating lighting pattern of spot lights along the floor guiding you to the focal point - elevator doors.
I wanted to give you guys a fly through of the finished build, but this will have to do for now. Its completed tho. pic.twitter.com/qVKjUkmV3Q— Adam Blevins (@2hatersinc) January 15, 2016
6. Rocky3D
Rocky followed the specs of The Corridor, precisely. I find it harder to re-create something exactly as being shown than take artistic liberties. Scale and dimensions have to be exact. Great work by Rocky.
Final renders from corridor project, @GameLevelDesign learnt so much! #gameart #unreal4 ..happy with the results :) pic.twitter.com/snAo1rQpmL— Rocky (@rock3D_) February 26, 2016
7. Ketul M.
Ketul created wider space in the Corridor, horizontally.
You can see how changing different spatial aspects of your environment creates a different "feel".
'The Corridor Project'. Created using Unreal Engine 4. @GameLevelDesign @EpicGames pic.twitter.com/kpPr3rZjNY— Ketul Majmudar (@ketul1776) December 24, 2015
8. Marta N.
Marta created a great looking Corridor with very tight lighting, lots of colors and contrast that draws your eye in and makes you want to explore. Makes each image pop.
My final #UE4 renders based on tutorial from World of Level Design @GameLevelDesign Really fun learning experience. pic.twitter.com/6NqiskQnDt— Marta Niemczynska (@carabea3d) March 9, 2016
And some bigger Day/Night versions. Loving #UE4 @GameLevelDesign pic.twitter.com/PkYYWtXWxk— Marta Niemczynska (@carabea3d) March 9, 2016
9. Ricardo G.
Ricardo followed the specs yet still added lighting and geometry variation to make it unique. Just the right amount of lighting contrast to make the Corridor stand out. Great work from amazing concept artist.
10. Gerbilho
Gerbilho shared a video fly-through. In hour 10 of the video series we focus on creating a Matinee fly-through using 2 camera set-up. I love the tight and professional camera work Gerbilho added with addition of a moody soundtrack to up the atmosphere.
11. Justin C.
Justin followed the series and expanded to widen the Corridor. The final corridor and fly-through is very "tight" and "crisp". The camera work is great, especially at the end of the video where it goes up to the second floor and smoothly turns around.
WoLD Corridor - Justin Carlson Variation from Justin C:
12. Heheming
Heheming expand the corridor to be a bit wider. The lighting looks great for both interior and exterior shots.
13. Philipp L.
Philipp did a great job on the Corridor. Adding custom decals on the doors and a flickering light that can be seen in the video. Both add a nice and unique touch to the project.
14. Pigggglet
Great lighting and nice tight camera work from this project study by Pigggglet.
15. Steven F.
Steven followed the tutorial series and even included additional static meshes from Epic's "Infiltrator Demo". Watch the video fly-through for "Infiltrator Demo" asset to make an appearance.
16. Jon Von S.
Jon started blocking in The Corridor prior to the release. The addition of second floor is something I really liked and wished I did that in the series. Of course, you could add it in yourself after going through the series.
Jon also used his own character model reference and developer textures.
17. Bonus: Zaac S.
The list wouldn't be complete without showing the set up Zaac used while watching the videos.
Currently working through the UE4 Corridor Project, so far so good @GameLevelDesign #UnrealEngine4 pic.twitter.com/FpCSVGfo8A— Zaac Smart (@ZaacSmart) January 10, 2016
Thank You and Submit Your Project
I want to thank again to everybody who submitted and shared their work.
If you have completed The Corridor Project, email me final screenshots, tweet at WoLD or share on WoLD Facebook. I will share them with WoLD fans and add the work to this page with credit to you and a link back to your website, Twitter page or Facebook page.

fluffy omelet from 1912 kids cookbook!
We really liked this recipe. I added a bit of cheddar to it. Below is a picture of it while it is cooking:
We cut it in half to serve on the plates:
and below is a photo of the cute book from which I obtained the recipe--it is available at Amazon:
How to:
[I used 4 eggs]
1. Separate yolks and whites, putting them into different bowls.
2. Add dash of salt to whites , and dash of salt and white pepper to yolks.
3. Add cold water to whites, allowing 1 teaspoon to each.
4. Add cold water to yolks, allowing 1 tablespoon each [I did less]
5. Beat both very lightly.[I actually decided to really whip them both--this is why the whites are so airy in my omelet---but some time I will try it the way it is described here]
6.Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in frying pan (I used my ceramic pan)
7. Pour in yolks. Let cook a moment.
8. Spread whites over yolks, making a little hole in the center for steam to escape.
9. Cook SLOWLY for 5 minutes, or until the puffed up whites look dry. [I covered my pan--and I also sprinkled some cheddar over the whites]
10. Fold one half over the other.
11. Turn out on a warm platter.
12. Trim with parsley [if desired] and serve at once.
This books is so much fun--it has a book within a book and the pots and pans talk to the child.

As I sat reading the latest Economist magazine and all of the injustices spouted off by the Occupy folks, I wondered if we all are as helpless as they portray us to be. In their worldview, we are all pawns of the "wealthiest 1 percent."
Sorry, but I don't believe that. We (the collective "we") have more power than they imagine. Here is a simple plan that would a) sock it to the wealthy and b) improve the security of your balance sheet all at the same time.
Step 1: If you earn less than $200,000, sell 10 percent of all your stock-holdings (401k, IRA, day-trading, etc.) over the next year. This sell-off would put downward pressure on stock prices in the stock-market. Whooaa, won't that be bad?
Well, if you're concerned with socking it to the wealthy, the drop in the stock-market will primarily hit them. As shown in the chart below, for folks making more than $200,000 net capital gains (gains minus losses) account for 10 percent of their income. For those folks earning less than $200,000, capital gains rarely break 1 percent of income.
It gets even more skewed as you dissect the data even further. For folks with incomes over $10 million or more their reliance on net capitals gains is a whopping 34 percent!
Overall, 84 percent of all net capital gains income is accrued to those earning more than $200,000.
Step 2: Take the money from selling your stock and use it to either pay down debt (that includes your mortgage) or if you have no debt put it into a traditional savings account. This will increase your own personal financial security as well as buttress the overall economy from future debt-fueled financial shocks.
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 next year, and the year after, etc. until you have completely removed yourself from the stock-market. If you are trapped in a 401k, move your money into a bond fund (preferably Treasuries).
So to the Occupy folks . . . no, we don't need higher taxes or more government spending to fix the economy. We just need to recognize that the stock-market was never designed as place to passively park your life-time savings. The stock-market is meant to manage the flow of capital to the most economically efficient companies.
And yet . . . the stock-market has been rigged against you, but not in the way touted by the Occupy folks. Inflating the stock-market with retirement funds has transformed the market into a casino and less of an exchange. Since the wealthy had/have more of their wealth invested in the stock-market, it's no surprise that this inflation has benefited them the most. Of course, the opposite (deflation) is true as well.
As an added benefit, unlike capital gains, paying down debt is non-taxable. For instance, if you have a $200 credit card payment, you will need to earn $250 to $300 (depending on your federal tax bracket and the tax burden where you live) in order to pay that bill. Paying off your credit card means you no longer need to earn money to pay it . . . unearned money is untaxed money 🙂
And just maybe these actions will also help prevent the decapitalization of America.

Now that my second child is 3.5 (going on 16), I find myself itching with baby fever. I thought that I would already have had a third baby by now, but we haven't started trying yet—the timing just hasn't been right. So I find myself in a state of remembrance. Recalling what it was like to have a growing baby in my tummy. The feel of a baby kicking and flipping around in there. (My memory conveniently glosses over the morning sickness and discomfort.) I think about the smell of a newborn's head, the tiny little fingers that clasp your own, the footed pajamas and onesies, ever so tiny. And I think about breastfeeding.
With my firstborn, I was determined to breastfeed because everything I had read said it was the right thing to do. Except it didn't work for us. He couldn't latch; I didn't know what I was doing: he didn't know what he was doing. All that happened was extreme pain and frustration. I had major engorgement and thrush and I truly hated doing it. What was worse, the struggle to breastfeed made me begin to resent him, because I could never leave his side. Whenever I heard him cry I grimaced, knowing the pain that I was about to experience.
Everything I had read told me to keep at it for two weeks before giving up, and that if I could make it that long breastfeeding would get easier. It sounded easy enough—two weeks, fourteen days, three hundred and thirty six hours. Wrong. Those two weeks were torturous, and I wasn't bonding with my son. So I stopped breastfeeding and I exclusively pumped for a whole year. I had the milk supply, so I had enough time to build up a good frozen stash before I had to go back to work after 12 weeks., My wonderful husband would get up and feed our son a bottle while I would get up and pump at the same time. It worked for us.
READ: Yes, I Love Public Breastfeeding
When I got pregnant for the second time I was terrified to try breastfeeding again. I considered going straight to exclusively pumping. I was afraid of the pain and of not bonding with my daughter. I was afraid of not having those moments you read about, where the mother lovingly looks at the baby in her arms. But I did try, and this time, it was like those moments. Breastfeeding my second child was effortless in comparison. We had no problems latching and since she latched correctly it was never painful. I didn't have thrush or engorgement and I was able to keep up with her and pump enough to freeze for when I would go back to work. It almost felt like I had suffered enough the first time that the second time was a consolation prize.
One of my favorite rituals was when I would get up at night to nurse my daughter and my then three and a half year-old son would wake up too, and he would come into the nursery and lay on the floor and pretend to nurse a teddy bear, or just stay there and be with me. I felt like I was bonding with my daughter and my toddler. We were all doing this together.
The thing that I learned from my experience is that no two children are alike. My pregnancies were different, breastfeeding was different, and my son and daughter have personalities as different as night and day. I had incorrectly assumed that it would always be one way and I'm glad that I didn't stand in my own way, and instead tried. With the next one (whenever it does happen) I don't know what the experience will be like, but I'm ready.

Fascinating. When Amazon was running its $30/$99 diaper promotions, where they gave Amazon gift certificates a month or so following a large order of baby products, people placed an average of 5-8 orders/day.
[I'm guessing here. Amazon reports what products get purchased through DT links and how much commission it generates--around 5%, btw--but doesn't reveal any info about orders or people at all. So to estimate the number of orders, I just eyeballed the daily Pampers tally and divided by $100 or so.]
Anyway, when Amazon launched their new Amazon Grocery offering last month by offering an immediate $10 discount on a $49 order [including diapers and a bunch of other stuff sold in cases], diaper orders dropped significantly. In July, diaper-related orders dropped to less than 1/day, while grocery-lookin' orders didn't show up at all.
The takeaways, then:
So actually, factoring in the different minumum order ($49 vs $99) and assuming the optimum % discount (20% vs 30%), it would appear that diaper buyers aren't really motivated by price discounts on a percentage basis [comparing $10 saved to, say, the $37 price of a case of Pampers] so much as on a perceived dollar value basis.
Or maybe optimizing that $10 discount by placing multiple orders as close to $49 as possible just isn't worth it: Math is hard! Let's not go shopping!
That $10 off $49 Amazon Grocery orders deal continues through August. [amazon]
Previously: Amazon's new deal: $10 off Pampers + Gummibears

M.I.A. Still Has Nothing on Courtney Love When It Comes to Hating Lynn Hirschberg
Be reminded of Love's hate.
As noted earlier this morning, M.I.A. tweeted the New York Times' Lynn Hirschberg's phone number, by way of saying not-so-much-thanks for Hirschberg's recent takedown of the singer. But if M.I.A hopes to be the pop star who hates Lynn Hirschberg the most, she has her work cut out for her! We take this occasion to remind you of Hirschberg's 1992 Vanity Fair profile of Love, the one that quoted the Hole front woman saying she had gone on a heroin binge while pregnant. In response to this piece, Love (1) left messages on Hirschberg's machine calling her a cunt, (2) released a bootleg song called "Bring Me the Head of Lynn Hirschberg," and (3) tried to bludgeon Hirschberg with Quentin Tarantino's Academy Award at a 1995 Oscar party. Really puts that tweet in perspective.

White Collar Defense
Our white collar defense and investigations attorneys are among the nation's foremost, and Hueston Hennigan is ranked by U.S. News & World Report/Best Lawyers as a Tier 1 Metropolitan White Collar firm. Chambers & Partners recognized Co-Chairs Brian Hennigan and John Hueston as "Leaders in their field for white collar defense in 2016," and The Recorder awarded Hueston Hennigan "Best White Collar Department" in California for 2016. Also, this same department won recognition as one of the three best white collar departments in the United States two years ago.
Our attorneys have an extraordinary track record of obtaining terminations of investigations before they surface publicly or result in charges, as well as of persuading courts to dismiss indicted cases before they reach a jury. We represent clients facing government investigations and criminal and civil enforcement actions in state and federal courts, and before regulatory agencies, across the United States. We approach each matter aggressively and comprehensively, seeking to understand our client and the facts of their case better than the government, and to achieve the earliest and most complete victory possible.
Our team includes three former federal prosecutors and two fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers. John Hueston is a former lead prosecutor for the Enron trial of Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling. He has been repeatedly recognized as a leading "Band 1" white collar attorney by Chambers USA, where he has been described as "hard-driving, insightful and aggressive." Brian Hennigan similarly has been repeatedly listed as a "Band 1" white collar attorney in Chambers USA, where he has been lauded as "perhaps number-one when you're thinking strategy and relationships in the [U.S. Attorney's Office] and in the community," and "a terrific attorney because of his great ability to communicate with judges and juries." Mr. Hennigan has also been named a Los Angeles White Collar Lawyer of the Year by The Best Lawyers in America. Marshall Camp is a former federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, where he handled a wide range of white collar cases, including the successful trial of one of the largest criminal tax cases in U.S. history. Mr. Camp has been listed as one of the top five white collar defense attorneys under the age of 40 in a national ranking by Law360. While at Irell & Manella LLP, John Hueston, Brian Hennigan, Marshall Camp and Alison Plessman were recognized as members of a "White Collar Group of the Year" by Law360, where they were recognized for obtaining pretrial dismissals of two high-profile criminal prosecutions, in Nevada and Texas, in a single year.
Drawing on our reputations as experienced trial lawyers and creative problem solvers, our attorneys handle virtually every type of white collar case, including in the areas of securities fraud and insider trading; the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; False Claims Act and government contractor litigation; criminal tax, antitrust and environmental enforcement; Food, Drug & Cosmetics Act and health care litigation; and many others. Our clients have included leading global corporations in a wide range of industries, business executives and entrepreneurs, educational institutions, medical practices and physicians, lawyers, accountants, professional athletes, and religious leaders. We also have extensive experience conducting internal investigations and formulating corporate compliance programs.
Representative Matters

- Obtained dismissal of all felony federal charges against a subsidiary of Waste Management Inc., America's largest environmental services provider, and two of its managers, on the eve of trial in July 2015.

- Dismissal of a fraud indictment against an heir of former oil magnate H.L.

MIAMI (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic moved one step closer to a fourth Miami title after easing by Spaniard Tommy Robredo 6-3 7-5 on Tuesday to become the first man through to the Sony Open quarter-finals.
It was just the second match of the tournament for Djokovic, who received an opening-round bye and advanced to the last 16 on a walkover when Florian Mayer withdrew with a groin injury, and sets up a potential mouth-watering quarter-final clash with defending champion Andy Murray.
The sixth seeded Scotsman, contesting his first event since splitting with coach Ivan Lendl last week, faces Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga later on Tuesday.
After early morning showers delayed the start of play by 30 minutes, Djokovic, a six-times grand slam winner, went to work under a sunny South Florida sky and wasted no time claiming the only break of the opening set to go up 3-2 on way to a 1-0 lead.
Robredo and the world number two continued to slug it out in the second but it was the Serb once again recording the only break at 6-5 then holding serve to close out the match.

Former Real Housewives of Vancouver star Reiko Mackenzie's ex has moved on. Sun Mackenzie, who has been separated from Reiko for two years now, has been dating 20-something waitress named Ashley Bolton.
Following a string of nasty tweets from Reiko, Ashley deleted her twitter account. Seems Reiko's pretty bitter her ex has a girlfriend while she's still single. In the past few months, details of rocky relationships with both her ex-husband and girlfriend have come to light.
A story about Ashley and Sun was submitted to theDirty.com and I'd bet good money Reiko was the one who sent it. The post revealed some shocking insight into Reiko and Sun's relationship including that Sun is allegedly a drug dealer and sleeps with Reiko occasionally. Here's the whole post:
"Nik, Trashley has kept on the DL since she cancelled her social Media. She may think no one knows her game but we all do. Used to work at Cactus with Ashley Bolton aka Trashley. She acts all sweet to your face but will pretty much sleep with your brother, husband or anyone who is over 50 and appears to have money. She's moved into a upscale hotel with her over the hill bf (Sun Mackenzie) former husband of Reiko Mackenzie. Oh and btw Trashley .. Sun still f$$ks Reiko from time to time.. It makes him feel better about giving the loot up to R. Sun is apparently beyond the law… Besides being a FT thug this guy clearly has some skeletons as he was aquitted of murder. Put these scandalous train wrecks on the blast."

Jang Geun Suk! How could you betray me like that?!
He tweeted the photo of him sharing a blanket with Song Joong Ki. He said that he prefers girls more but is wondering why on earth Joong Ki-hyung is next to him. Lies! You totally know why he's next to you!
I really needed the headline to tell me that it was Song Joong Ki though. Otherwise I would have assumed it was Gong Yoo, because they kinda look alike in this shot. But if it were Gong Yoo, someone is definitely going to get a beating from me!

Party at a Time Like This?
Today was our pre-wedding party, our bachelor and bachelorette party. Most of the guests who will be at the wedding on Sunday came early so they could be at the party. We chose to hold it at a bar, and not separate parties like most people have. Now, more than ever, we needed to be together, especially since this would be our first "public appearance" since the diagnosis, and we needed each other's strength.
As Michel and I got ready for the party, and we were choosing our outfits (jeans and a cheesy Bride and Groom t-shirt, of course), it dawned on me that wearing a bra tonight was not going to happen. Lately, it hurts to wear a bra for longer than an hour or so. I carefully chose an undershirt to wear under the t-shirt and hoped I would be able to keep smiling no matter what.

Began as Midland Sound Recordings but the name was shortened to MSR around 1973 according to this site http://www.7tt77.co.uk/MSR_1.html
"They made many acetates and demos for local bands; it also issued records on its own label from around the mid '60s and throughout the 1970s, presumably as a custom recording service.
An album by the Goodshaw Band, came out in 1979. The label seems to have averaged roughly ten issues a year, which is hardly prolific. The material on offer seems to have been the usual mixture that custom recording operations provided - the few items to which I have seen reference have been Folk, Choral and Pop" Read more on the link above.
