General FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions - General
- What is PXE?
- What are the general symptoms of PXE?
- What are the best treatments for PXE?
- Is an annual exam sufficient monitoring for an otherwise healthy individual with PXE?
- Can you help me find a doctor in my area who is knowledgable about PXE?
- How can I educate my doctor about PXE?
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum, PXE, is an inherited disorder that affects selected connective tissue in some parts of the body. Some elastic tissue in the body becomes mineralized, that is, calcium and other minerals are deposited in some tissue. This can result in changes in the skin, eyes, cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal system. Read more about PXE signs, effects and medical care in the PXE General Bulletin. [March 2006]
2. What are the general symptoms of PXE?
Peau d'orange, angioid streaks, retinal hemorrhage and wrinkly skin are the general symptoms of PXE. Any other symptoms should be examined and treated just as it would in the general population. Remember that people with PXE get all the same things other people get, including, but not limited to: flashes and floaters, arthritis, cancer, back pain, joint pain, and so on. If you are concerned about a symptom, bring it to the attention of your physician or the physician's nurse rather than assuming it is caused by PXE and perhaps missing an important problem that is not related to PXE. [January 2008]
3. What are the best treatments for PXE?
Symptoms of and treatments for PXE are discussed in detail in the specific medical bulletins published by PXE International for affected individuals and their physicians and are available on this site. Research in PXE is ongoing and new treatments are being tested. PXE International provides important news about treatments and the latest interventions through our Announcement email list and our newsletter, the MemberGram. [March 2006]
4. Is an annual exam sufficient monitoring for an otherwise healthy individual with PXE?
Annual examination of a stable, asymptomatic individual with PXE is sufficient for primary care. Individuals with PXE should also have regular visits with an ophthalmologist/retina specialist. It is recommended that people with PXE be monitored for risk factors for atherosclerosis and that they use eye protection such as goggles against eye injury during contact or racquet sports. They should also avoid aspirin and NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. [March 2006]
5. Can you help me find a doctor in my area who is knowledgable about PXE?
Unfortunately, we cannot recommend a doctor who is familiar with PXE, unless you are looking for an ophthalmologist or dermatologist. Since there are more than 6000 rare diseases, doctors cannot be familiar with all of these diseases. Furthermore, you might find a general practitioner or cardiologist who has seen a PXE patient or two, but every person is different and you would not want a doctor to base your case on the few other cases he or she has seen.
Fortunately the effects of PXE on the various organ systems of the body are similar to those produced by much more common conditions - so you need to find a doctor who is caring and listens and takes the time to become educated about PXE. He or she can read our medical bulletins, and learn how to care for you. He or she can also consult us (we have gathered data on over 600 affected individuals) if necessary.
If you need to see another specialist, we recommend you see the best in the field (ask around for this), then bring our materials to that person. [July 2009]
6. How can I educate my doctor about PXE?
You need to find a doctor who is caring and listens and takes the time to become educated about PXE. He or she can read our medical bulletins or visit our website. Your doctor can also consult us if necessary.
Here are three resources to print and take to each one of your doctors:
PXE General Bulletin: PXE signs, symptoms, effects and medical care
PXE and the Primary Care Physician: A bulletin to educate doctors about how people with PXE should be followed
GeneClinics Review of PXE: A thorough clinical description of PXE for the health care provider. [March 2009]
These are replies to general and specific questions which have been submitted to us in the past. Our responses may not apply to any particular individual´s situation and are not a substitute for medical advice given by a physician who is familiar with the individual´s case and who has examined the patient. In addition, the responses are updated on a periodic basis but may not be current.

text: Since 1989, Carole Shiber's spirited line of shaped and hand-painted placemats have been inviting us to have more fun at the table; to celebrate everyday moments, like lunch ~ to bringing even more beauty to such special occasions as weddings. Her intuitively pleasing placemats are beautiful and balanced set on their own, while made to interlock and layer, naturally creating botanic runners and centerpieces. Hand-made in Kingston, New York, each piece is individually hand-painted on re-purposed automotive upholstery, and comes with Bill's techno-know-how (that's Carole's creative collaborator and husband). Feel free to dine heartilly with these otherwise fine works of art, as they're as functional as they are fun. Just watch how gracefully each of these placemats dance with one another ~ then simply sponge clean, never having to leave the table.

Entries from our www.gaardsferie.com guestbook:
27th of July, 2011.
«A thousand thank you`s! It was an unforgettable visit at your farm. I enjoyed the unusually beautiful views from your farm, the fresh air, the sounds of cow bells, fresh milk and all your animals. I warmly recommend a stay at Paulsrud farm. As soon as we have time I would love to come back!» J.B Ommunsen.
2nd of August, 2011.
«Paulsrud is absolutely indescribable! Fantastic hospitality for on a sunny summer day! What a view you have on your Mountain farm. Ingeborg-stua was my favorite room. The feeling from the walls and floors painted in light colors is a salve for the soul. The oldtime feeling on the farm is easy to enjoy and believe brought up good memories from my grandmothers time. Thank you for the hard work you have done to bring out and show the farmers experience both in and out. The cow bells, the fresh milk, first class service and food, everything was just amazing! I hope that guests from both Norway and abroad decide to experience Paulsrud.»

The economic crisis has taken a toll on young Europeans - especially in France, where nearly one in four French between the ages of 15 and 25 is unemployed. Now a group of young Parisians has found an imaginative way to publicize their plight - by taking over one of the city's most elegant addresses.
Tourists often pause before the 17th-century stone mansion across from the Place des Vosges. It was once home to the Marquise de Sevigne, a witty French socialite during the days of Louis XIV. More recently it stood unoccupied - until a group of young squatters moved in two weeks ago, to protest the lack of jobs and affordable housing in France.
Thirty-year-old Laurent Dubouchet shows a visitor around the mansion. He is a painter and one of the oldest in the group. The rest - about 40 of them - are students and workers in their twenties. The first squatters began moving in two weeks ago. They're still arriving - along with a couple of cats, which prowl in the courtyard.
Many of them have part time jobs - but they can't live on their wages. Dubouchet says finding a full-time job is very difficult.
"I look for jobs. Everybody here is looking for jobs, part-time jobs, any kind of thing," said Laurent Dubouchet.
BRYANT: "What do people tell you?
DUBOUCHET: "There is no job. That is what people tell me. There is no job."
The group calls itself Black Thursday, in memory of the 1929 stock market crash in the United States. But this latest financial crisis has wreaked havoc on economies worldwide - including in France, where the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development estimates that 10 percent of the population is unemployed. That is one of the highest rates in Europe. Young French are even harder hit - 24 percent of them cannot find work.
Anne Sonnet is an OECD economist specializing in the youth labor market. She says there are a number of factors explaining high youth unemployment here.
"It's partly because of education qualifications," said Anne Sonnet. "Very often they are not well prepared for the labor market mix. And often it's because of the barriers in the labor market. There are many barriers concerning the relatively high minimum wage. The minimum wage is relatively high compared to the [average] wage in France so it's a barrier when you don't have any qualifications and when you start your career."
Sonnet says young people coming from poor and immigrant families are particularly disadvantaged. France is not the only country where young people are having a hard time. The OECD reports more than one in three young Spaniards is unemployed. Youth unemployment in Italy, Greece, Sweden and Slovakia is also high.
In France, the government is pushing a raft of measures to help young people find jobs, including emphasizing apprenticeships. But the young squatters at Place des Voges say they have little faith in the government. Meanwhile, they say, they have gotten support from their rich neighbors -- some of whom have dropped with food. Even the owner of the mansion they are squatting in has shown some sympathy for their cause.
But one local resident, who gives her name as Nadja, says the young people have no right to squat.
Nadja says that squatting is not going to solve France's unemployment problem.
For their part, the squatters hope to take advantage of a French law preventing authorities from evicting tenants during the winter months. So far, they say, the local police have been very helpful and friendly.

Now when you say "micro penis" do you mean like a female with a large clit or do you mean an actual male with a micro penis?
I mean a born shemale
It's not her fault for being intersexed. If I really, really liked her I'd probably stay with her, especially if she's my "dream girl" otherwise; plus there's always anal and reconstructive surgery.
Man, if I wasn't REALLY feeling her though, I'm not sure I could do it.

Shoot or No Shoot?
There are many threads here about shooting wild animals for self defense. There are threads about animal attacks and maulings. We somethimes wonder why the victim wasn't armed. I know I carry a gun when I take nature walks. I have yet to encounter any creature that would pose a danger to me. If I do, I hope I have the witts about me to take appropriate action. But, what is appropriate action?
If I spot a mountain lion fifty yards away and he doesn't seem to notice me, could I, or rather should I shoot it? I see a bear crossing a meadow a hundred yards away. She could care less about me, do I shoot? In other words, I wonder when would I shoot a dangerous creature? I am not talking about game laws or regulations, just the morality of it.
For self-defense, I have absolutely no qualms about shooting any animal. I also do not want to kill anything needlessly. I am not some sort of environmental whacko, far from it, but blasting away critters for no purpose at all is not cool to me.
Has anyone here ever thought about this? At what point would you pull the trigger on a dangerous animal? Is it on sight regardless of the circumstances? Do you wait for some sort of aggressive behavior directed at you? Is distance the deciding factor? Is shooting you first or last reaction?
I just hope I will make the right decision when I am faced with it.

If I am fortunate enough to spot a large predator before it sees me I will freeze and stand very still. I will stay in that position as long as I have sight of the predator.
I would consider myself very lucky to have this situation.
If the animal noticed me and started moving towards me I would get in ready mode with gun in hands. First shot would be in the ground if it continued to come at me. Chances are this would be enough to scare it away.
Once it comes within 50 yards and shows no sign of stopping it's advance then all bets are off.

Agreed except for the warning shot, that is wasted ammunition. I have had a mountain lion cross in front of me no more that 50 yards away and she paid no more attention to me than if I had been another cholla plant. Half that distance from black bears, I just stand very still and they do what they do and then move along. Not unless they are looking at me and coming towards me would I ever consider using my gun.
Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern will, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

At 100 yds or even 50 I wouldn't shoot a predator animal unless I noticed strange behavior on it's part (signs of rabies, etc) or it seemed to be taking an unhealthy interest in me. I have seen bears and a mountain lion up close and they took no more interst in me than anything else.

OH NO!!! There are wild animals out here!!!!! KillII Kill!! Kill!! Oh, sorry Mr Ranger, I was just defending myself from the bear and the lion.
If that sounds plausible to you, go ahead. I hear state prisons are very nice. But seriously, if you are out in "the wilds" and you happen to see a predatory animal (bear, wolf, lion, etc), and that animal is not threatening you in any way, why on earth would you think it's OK to shoot? Both of the animals you mentioned are controlled species, meaning you have to have a license and tags to take them legally unless they pose an imminent threat to you or your property. As far as being a threat to you, be serious. You have a better chance of a McDonalds 1/4 Pounder killing you than a cougar or a bear. This is just like the old nursery rhyme: "Leave them alone and they'll go home, wagging their tails behind them".
Never try to educate someone who resists knowledge at all costs.
But what do I know?

Here in the Rockies, Johnny Law has gotten very good, and very intent on reading the layout of your "attack" and whether or not your shoot is justified. Many people have found their way to the county confines shouting his innocence. No serilously, you have to have fairly decent evidence that you were under attack for it to be justified. 100yd=meet Bubba

Using common sense when walking/hiking in predator habitat goes a long way. I hike in cougar/timber wolf/black bear/grizzly bear habitat on an almost daily basis for my job. Chances are, unless you are deliberately stalking a wild animal, it will know you are there long before you know it's there, if you ever even see it, especially cougars and wolves (but generally the average person has very little to fear from them under normal circumstances.) Bears can be stumbled upon occasionally, in a situation where both parties are surprised, but this is where common sense should prevail. They are generally either timid or at worst indifferent to your presence. They are normally only aggressive under a handful of scenarios: they feel you are threatening to steal their meal, they feel you are threatening to harm their cubs, or they feel you are threatening to harm them. I have had numerous bear encounters (excluding the practically domesticated ones at the local dump) and in all but one of them, the bears have been of the timid variety and took off running immediately upon spotting me (or my trusty hound bearing down on them.) One encounter involved an 'indifferent' bear. He wasn't aggressive at all, but no amount of shouting, arm waving or rock throwing would dissuade him from going about his business in a very nonchalant, leisurely manner. In fact, he almost seemed mildly amused at the crazy shirtless human carrying on and making a fuss. After a few minutes, he trundled on his way and didn't return.
Also, sometimes even when they seem aggressive, they are just 'bluffing.' They may go so far as to charge, but will stop short, stomping the ground, swiping their paws and chuffing and snapping their jaws. I have a friend who recently had a run-in with an aggressive bear that did exactly that. He had wrecked his truck 30 km from his camp and was walking back. He could hear a bear in the bush stalking him for some time before it ran out and charged him. He didn't have a firearm with him so he picked up a big rock, stood his ground and luckily the bear stopped about 10 feet from him and put on the aforementioned aggressive display before my friend threw the rock at it and it turned tail and ran. Now, I'm not suggesting that I would let an encounter get that far if I had a firearm, but it just goes to show that, just seeing a predator or any other potentially dangerous wild animal is certainly in no way an excuse to fire at it. You should be reasonably certain that it intends to do you harm. I carry a firearm with me on hikes, but I hope that I never have to use it to kill a wild animal in self defence.

Reading your post (OP), I think you're confusing hunting with self defense.
If an animal poses no immediate threat to you (mt lion or bear passing by, no matter whether that's at 100 yard or 3 feet), but you kill it, then you were hunting. In that case here in the US, you better have the proper hunting licenses and/or tags, and the season better be open. If not, then you'd be committing an illegal act and would be considereed a criminal by law.
In that case, you would be the aggressor (hunter), and shot the animal without it posing an immediate threat to you.
Sorta like if you shot another hiker because you thought he MIGHT attack you. That'd be murder. But if the other hiker had a weapon, and was threatening or trying to kill you, then that would be considered self defense in most states.
An animal is no different. In general, if a "reasonable person" would think that the animal was attacking you, then you'd be justified in shooting it in self defense.
If the animal is attacking you, then the animal is the aggressor instead of you.
Bears are known to "false charge" at times. It's a bluff meant to scare you away. You've no way of knowing it's intention when it charges though, and some have killed people. So, if it's charging at you, and is close enough to pose a threat to your life and/or well being, then shoot it if you can. If it's not threatening you, then let it pass and be on your way.
A mt lion that's passing by you doesn't necessarily pose a threat. One that's stalking you very well might. There's the difference.
And no, I've never really thought about such things when it comes to animals. To me, the answer seems rather obvious. Not that all situations will be cut and dried one way or the other, but in general if you don't feel threatened, then don't shoot unless you're actually hunting that animal.

Start shooting instantly and your relatives can come visit you every Sunday in the crossbar hotel. Just because you see a large predator doesnt mean they will attack you. I fortunately live in an area that has many of both species and I see bears many times a years and an occasional cat. I have never been charged by either but I have been challenged and a quick route change elimanated the threat. However just last year on my property a female forest ranger was stalked by a lion unknown by her and witness by my neighbor that frightened it away, so it does happen. You will know when it is time to shoot.

Wear lots of bells, that way the next hiker will hear the bear jingling.
The odds are pretty good you won't see a bear or a cougar.

We see Mt. Lions in the American River Parkway right here in town but we haven't had to shoot one too many deer to eat so they are happy.

As always hogdogs, a most adequate post. Thanks for the laugh! The only thing I`ve ever shot in the woods, other than what I was hunting, was four dogs that were in a pack of about eight. I came out of a thicket and they had a deer down. Two rather large dogs attacked, they were the first to go. The blast scared the rest and they ran. Wished I`d had gotten all of them.

Great question, one I have often pondered. I came close to such a decision a couple of years ago.
I was hunting this area with my dog. She was on the other side of a ditch. She was an area that was covered in short grass and light scrub. Anyway, she all of sudden came to a stop. There was something in her path, the way she acted, it was something unfamiliar to her. I decided to cross the ditch to see.
What I saw was a shock. No more then a twenty feet in front of her was a badger laying up next to some brush. All I had was my 20 gauge loaded with 8-shot. Yes, at that range I konw a blast of bird shot should do a critter in. I did raise the gun and point it at the badger. The badger was completely frozen, I know that they can quickly change attitudes with dire consequences to both man and dog. Then another thought crossed my mind.
What if I shoot and the shot isn't immediately fatal? My dog might rush in and then I would be rushing my dog to the vet' if it survived. I backed myself and the dog up slowly. I have no idea where that creature went and I don't care.
I still wonder to this day what prevented that badger from attacking my dog. I am grateful my dog had the sense not to attack it.

My area is bum-deep in lion poop, but outside of Big Bend National Park nobody's ever been seriously messed with by a lion. Followed, yeah, but apparently just out of curiosity. We have the occasional bear, but very, very rarely.
So, I've never really worried. I generally have some sort of adequate gun with me whether deer hunting or quail hunting; or maybe my Redhawk for my favorite military officer, "General Principles".
Anything not headed for me in a hostile manner? I'll just watch and enjoy.
Badgers? We have a few. They don't bother anything. They're fun to tease. Poke 'em with a stick, they get all growly and go humping and harumphing off toward the brush in high dudgeon. They can't run fast enough to matter.

Walking in woods near towns and cities you're more likely, I think, to be threatened by a pack of feral dogs. I have no qualms about shooting them if they're aggressive towards people.
Most wild critters are wary of humans and will do the same things we do. Keep a watch on the target and avoid approaching. Only when they start closing in should you start getting worried. I've had a mt. lion watch me from less than 50 yards, but I think s/he was more curious than anything. Or waiting for me to leave before crossing the road I was on.
The one rule of thumb I have is that if I come across the young of a predator (bear, mt. lion, wolf, even pigs) then I will immediately backtrack to avoid meeting mama.

Jones Lang LaSalle in Australia follows in the footsteps of its UK and US businesses to establish a presence in this sector of the market which is set to grow over the next 5 years
AUSTRALIA, 6 AUGUST 2012 – With demand for purpose-built student accommodation growing across Australia as student numbers increase consistently year-on-year, global investors, developers and operators are keenly looking at this sector of the market.
Australia's largest real estate services firm, Jones Lang LaSalle has established a Student Accommodation Services business to assist clients and investors in the expected growth in investment opportunities in this sector.
Stephen Conry, CEO of Jones Lang LaSalle Australia said the firm had made the decision to specialise in this area to assist an increasing number of clients in this sector and off the back of the global growth in this investment class.
"Jones Lang LaSalle in Australia already has a strong focus on 'social infrastructure' services which includes sectors such as retirement living, health and aged care, social and affordable housing and child care.
"We see student accommodation as another sector which naturally fits under this wider umbrella of social infrastructure and we believe that our clients will be seeking to invest in funds or assets of this nature to further diversify their portfolios," said Mr Conry.
Jones Lang LaSalle's focus on social infrastructure is led by National Director Noral Rich. Noral re-joined the firm in 2011, following 9 years' experience in the social infrastructure industry at Ernst and Young.
Ms Rich said, "The student accommodation model has become significantly more sophisticated in recent years and Australia is now beginning to see the 'real' student accommodation model take presence.
"Our new Student Accommodation Services team will work with our global colleagues to assess investment opportunities for our global clients seeking to expand and grow in the Australian market.
"The student accommodation sector has come a long way from the days of selling off small residential units on guaranteed returns through leases to students. The model now is a much more sophisticated product that includes both the physical asset and the operational business. Despite a traditional reluctance by super funds and institutional investors to invest in the 'residential' asset class, the student accommodation model is now attractive to these groups due to higher yields and security of income," concluded Ms Rich.

My Day. My Life.: Blake Jenner
Life has been pretty crazy for Blake Jenner since he won The Glee Project back in March. In addition to his first appearance on the show (which you can watch next week!), he's been doing tons of interviews, and has even managed to create quite the fan base. With a sweet personality like his, combined with his amazing singing and acting skills, we have a feeling life will only get more chaotic for him from here on out! Blake was nice enough to take a flip cam and record himself throughout the day, so we could get a good look into his every day life. Though at times it's not the most glamorous (cereal and Golden Girl marathons, any one?), it's real, and that's what we like to see!

I am looking for an efficient way to generate html files out of several php files that are set up to behave differently depending on the value of passed URL variables. I have about 200 pages on the site, which I make from 2-3 php files, and I had to generate a separate 'download' page that had all the information to insert into a batch file for DOS, which used Url2file, a small program that takes complete URL string as the first parameter and physical document name to save to as the second. I know one can use Wget on Linux/Unix. But I am sure there is a better mechanism for doing this, such as making a for-loop that would write to disk and generate document names on the fly (they file names depend on the value of passed variables, so the for-script would cope).
If someone has ideas or figured out how to do it, please help.
Thank you very much in advance,

I get asked pretty often what is the right software for organizing pictures. I usually answer with: it depends. It truly does depend. It depends on what you are are hoping to achieve. I tend to recommend free software first, depending how far the person has gone on the picture organization path. If specific commercial goals are in mind, then I recommend powerful commercial software that go beyond what a home user needs. So, what is the right software for organizing your pictures? Read on to find out how I think about this issue.
Determine where you are on the picture organization path
Most people who ask me about software, are really at the very beginning of organizing their pictures, namely they start with their folders. Well, everyone should start there. I usually ask how will they be searching for their pictures to determine if they really needs tags or just folders will be enough.
I already can sense that some of you reading this will immediately say, of course you need tags. However, it has been my experience that people, home users, rarely have the time and patience to actually add tags to the pictures they transfer from their camera to their computer.
So, if they tell me that they would really like to use tags, I ask them if they are able to put the time and dilligence required to add tags to their pictures. Yes, I know that they don't have to add tags to everything, and that the tags can be pretty loose. But I also try to educate them that in order to make effective use of tags, there has to be some thought about how and when tags will be applied to the images.
If however, you would want to get into stock photography or any type of selling of images through image library web sites, you definitely need something else. And the something else is usually a software program that goes beyond just folders and tags. You need software that can write at a minimum IPTC image captions, copyright information, geolocation tags. The volume of pictures is also important in determining what software to choose. So, as you can see, it really depends on what you're trying to do.
Recommended free software for organizing your pictures
If folders will be enough for you, at least for the beginning I always recommend FastStone Image Viewer as the start. This is a very fast and simple image viewer that also has basic image editing and a very easy interface. FastStone Image Viewer has an excellend picture importing feature that allows you to rename your pictures at transfer time according to many preset formulas (i.e. a regular expression like
If tags are really part of your goal, but only tags, then I recommend Picasa (Read my articles about organizing your pictures with Picasa). Picasa is probably the most popular program for organizing and editing pictures. When it comes to managing folders, tags and geotags, the Picasa interaface is by far the nicest to use. In addition, Picasa has great image editing capabilities and lots of really cool effects if you really have the time to play with them. So, if folders and tags are what you need, then give Picasa a try. It will do what you need and more.
If however you want to get into selling pictures, then you need to be able to write all the IPCT fields, because all the online image libraries require IPTC fields to be written in when you submit your pictures. Most online libraries require copyright information, image caption, image keywords, geolocation tags, category and maybe more, so you have to deliver the images with the metadata they need. For this reason, you need XnView because you can edit all the IPTC fields and it can produce XMP metadata as well along with IPTC. XnView is free for home use so this is a great advantage.
Recommended commercial software for organizing your pictures
If your living depends on the pictures you sell and in addition you need to edit your pictures a lot as well, then you need some professional software that will produce professional results. The software that always impresses me in the way it deals with RAW format pictures is Adobe Lightroom. The main drawback is that Lighroom is not cheap. It usually sells for $299 (Get $70 OFF on Adobe Lightroom 3.0) but it works amazingly well with the pixels themselves. In addition to processing pictures, Lightroom manages tags and all the IPTC fields that you need. It is an all around photo management tool.
If you situation is even more complicated because you travel and take pictures then you also need something different. You need an easy and fast way to download and tag your pictures…or in other words you Photo Mechanic. Photo Mechanic is specifically designed for importing lots of pictures, tagging them, renaming them, resizing them all when you import them. You can import and transform your pictures and place them in multiple locations at the same time. Photo Mechaninc also gives you access to all the IPTC fields. You only get limited photo editing tools. You can only resize and crop your pictures but no pixel changing.How to choose the right software for organizing your pictures

Green living isn't just a conscious effort to be healthier. It is a way of life, where the eco-friendly individual shares their love for the world they live in. The following post is an interview of the well-deserved blogger who not only lives the green and eco-friendly lifestyle, but helps us understand that living green can actually be easy and even cost-effective. So we dare you to read on if you're ready to be inspired!
Please turn your attention to Madeleine from nzECOchick our Top Green and Eco-Friendly Blogger of 2014.
1. What is the main reason you chose to live a green life?
My main reason for choosing to live a green life is to reduce my family's environmental footprint and the rubbish that we leave behind on the earth. I get a total kick out of recycling, fixing and re-purposing items and seeing how little rubbish we can create and finding new ways to reduce our lives (by de-cluttering and eating wholefoods) even further. I also like to be green to reduce our consumerism and staying out of the rat race. I guess I never was very good at being "normal" nor would I want to be!
2. Have you always been vegetarian? If not, what made you decide to be?
I became vegetarian when I was 15. I always said I would be vegetarian as a child and my folks used to laugh as I used to loved chicken and seafood but after reading an article in a teenage magazine about the horrific testing done by the cosmetic world on animals. I decided to never buy another product that tests on animals and shortly after I became vegetarian. Both practices which I still stick to all these years later.
3. Have you ever been pressured to eat meat since you've become a vegetarian?
No never. My family was very supportive of my choice and my mum was amazing in making wholefood vegetarian meals as in though days there was nothing premade. My husband has been fantastic and is a meat minimalist and at home is pretty much a vegetarian too. I've done two vegetarian pregnancies and found midwives who supported my higher iron needs.
4. What do you love most about being green?
I get a total kick out of being green. I love reducing/ removing plastic and toxins from our lives and that being green saves us heaps of money. I love that a part of being green is having a fantastic garden and eating wholefoods that we cook from scratch. Being green doesn't just stop at not buying plastic or what products you use in your home but also includes what we put in our mouths and how we treat those around us.
5. What is your favorite meal?
I have two favourite meals they both have lentils in them which I just love. One is a silverbeet spinach, lentils and free range eggs meal and chachouka Oh and I love chickpeas and quinoa; they are so versatile!
6. What are your kids' favorite meals?
My boys both love their fruit and veggies and eat everything put in front of them (sometimes with a little extra encouragement). My one year old just loves bananas and dhal and my three year's favourite meal is homemade sushi he even requested this for this third birthday family meal. They both also love smoothies which we eat for breakfast almost every day.
7. What is your favorite post?
I don't personally have a favourite post I have several that I am very passionate about and am glad that I wrote them like my motherhood truths post and my post on depression. I asked my readers what their favourite post was and most people said my reduce your waste series.
8. Do you belong to any green blogging communities? If so, how do you like it?
I'm not actually part of any green blogging communities but I read of a lot other green blogs.
9. What is the most encouraging quote you can give to others to inspire them to go green?
This is an oldie but a goodie and I think we should all live our lives by this quote not just with regards to being green but how we treat our world and each other
"Be the change you want to see in the world." ― Mahatma Gandhi

CanWest counts on Ten Network for increased profit
CanWest Global Communications, Canada's largest media company, said third-quarter earnings rose fourfold, fuelled by higher profit at its Australian television business and lower interest expenses.
The company said net income was $C54.3 million ($56.7 million) in the quarter ended May 31, up from $C12.5 million a year earlier. Sales rose 1.1 per cent to $C564.6 million from C$558.5 million.
CanWest's stake in Ten Network helped compensate for stagnant Canadian TV and newspaper sales. Interest expenses declined after CanWest refinanced bank debt.
"The only negative was Canadian broadcasting," said Benoit Dube, an analyst at CTI Capital in Montreal, who has a "market overweight" rating on CanWest. "There's a lot of work to do," he said.
Ten Network contributed profit of $C20.6 million in the quarter, up 66 per cent from $C12.4 million a year ago. CanWest controls Ten Network with a 57 per cent stake.
Ten last month reported that its third-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation rose 40 per cent as higher audience ratings boosted advertising sales. Ten has said sales may be hurt this quarter by Seven Network's broadcast rights to the Olympics Games in Athens.
CanWest's chief executive, Leonard Asper, is reacting to slowing newspaper revenue by cutting costs. Sales at CanWest's newspapers fell to $C299.7 million from $C300.6 million, but earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 3.5 per cent to $C74.3 million.
The Canadian TV business's revenue fell to $C207.5 million from $C207.6 million. Its EBITDA fell 26 per cent to $C61.3 million, paring the margin to 29.5 per cent.
"The Canadian TV business was fairly disappointing on the margin side," said Anthony Hammill, from AIC, which held nearly 10.6 million CanWest shares as of March.
CanWest's Global Television Network is trailing BCE's CTV in audience ratings, on BBM Canada data.
Mr Asper said in an interview in April that he planned to spend more in fiscal 2005 to develop shows for the Canadian TV stations in an effort to revive sales. He said CanWest would have a "stronger" schedule in fiscal 2005.
CanWest has been selling assets to reduce $C3.2 billion in debt that it took on when it bought 140 newspapers from Hollinger in 2000.
Earlier this month it sold 30 per cent of its New Zealand radio and television unit in an initial public offering. EBITDA at its NZ business, CanWest MediaWorks (NZ), rose 60 per cent in the nine months ended May 31.

Newt Gingrich isn't the only Republican who wants to relax U.S. laws that have restricted work by children for more than seven decades.
Republican governors and state lawmakers, who succeeded this year in curbing union powers, are pushing to revise their child-labor laws to help companies such as groceries get workers. Wisconsin will let employers treat teenagers as adults in pay and hours, and Maine lawmakers want to let companies keep teens working longer hours.
The moves pose a challenge to child-labor laws, established at the federal level in 1938 to protect youths from working long hours on dangerous machinery instead of going to school. Republicans and businesses that share Gingrich's view see easing the restrictions as part of their effort to cut back government regulation while giving teenagers a chance to learn valuable work habits.
"How come it's OK, even exemplary, for teenagers to spend 40 hours a week in sports, glee club, chorus, debate society, or any other select activity sanctioned by the social elite, but if you are a teenager who wants to work or needs to work, there are limits?" Dick Grotton, president of the Maine Restaurant Association, based in Augusta, said in an interview. "Kids working is not a bad thing."
The U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act sets a minimum age of 14 for most work and bars children under 18 from hazardous jobs. The law remained intact after the Supreme Court knocked down a challenge in 1941, and its champions say Gingrich is leading an effort to undermine it. Some states such as Maine have laws that exceed federal requirements, and Republican legislators are targeting the state regulations.
"This is part of a coordinated effort by conservatives across the country to use the economic crisis to shred critical worker protections," Anne Thompson, a policy analyst at the National Employment Law Project, a Washington-based group that advocates for worker rights, said in an interview.
Gingrich, leading in polls among candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, used a speech at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., last month to depict the restrictions as undermining opportunities for the poor.
"It is tragic what we do in the poorest neighborhoods, entrapping children in, first of all, child laws, which are truly stupid," the former House speaker said.
He reaffirmed the position during a Dec. 10 debate among the Republican candidates in Iowa, suggesting children replace union janitors in New York's public schools.
"You give lots of poor kids a work experience in the cafeteria, in the school library, in the front office," Gingrich said. "I'll stand by the idea young people ought to learn how to work. Middle-class kids do it routinely. We should give poor kids the same chance to pursue happiness."
Gingrich's comments haven't been embraced universally among his fellow Republicans or business groups.
"To have kids work in the library and to help out in school and to clean the blackboards does not require changing our child-labor laws," Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who is also seeking the Republican nomination, said during the Iowa debate.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's largest business lobbying group, declined to comment on the issue. "We don't get involved in presidential politics, and therefore we don't weigh in on candidates' proposals," said Blair Latoff, a Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman.
Easing child-labor laws would most benefit companies that employ low-wage workers, including retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and operators of fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's Corp., according to Thompson of the National Employment Law Project.
Greg Rossiter, a spokesman for Wal-Mart, declined to comment. Danya Proud, a spokeswoman for McDonald's, didn't respond to phone and e-mail requests for comment.
Representative George Miller of California, the top Democrat on the House Labor and Workforce Committee, said in an interview that attacks on child-labor laws are about "demonizing the poor."
"A kid with a parent working two low-wage jobs to pay the rent knows what a work ethic is," he said. "She doesn't need any more hard knocks from the likes of Newt Gingrich. What she needs is access to great education and her parents need a vibrant job market. You get neither when you repeal child-labor laws and replace Mom and Dad with underage children."
While Gingrich's comments may appeal to conservatives in Republican primaries, they would hurt him in a contest against President Barack Obama, Tobe Berkovitz, a political communications professor at Boston University, said.
"It adds to his baggage if he needed to slink to the middle in a general election," he said in an interview. "That's one of the charms and one of the foibles of Newt Gingrich. What was meant to be a comment on developing a work ethic now looks like he is stepping over the line into trashing protections for young people."
In Maine, Republicans lawmakers rolled back child-labor laws this year, with backing from Governor Paul LePage. Legislation increased the number of hours teenagers could work and let companies pay them a "training wage." Under the pay measure, workers younger than 20 would earn $5.25 an hour, less than the state's $7.50 an hour minimum wage.
"I don't see why kids can't go to work when they are 14 or 15 -- it makes no sense to me," LePage said in an October interview with the Augusta-based Capitol News Service.
Wisconsin rolled back state laws this year limiting the hours 16- and 17-year-olds can work.
Wisconsin and Maine changed their laws in response to lobbying by groups representing restaurants and grocery stores, which said restricting teenage labor burdened businesses with cumbersome paperwork.
"It wasn't like they were trying to overwork these kids or create a sweatshop," said Michelle Kussow, a lobbyist for the Wisconsin Grocers Association. "They just want to give kids that great first opportunity you get in a grocery store."
James Sherk, a labor-policy analyst at the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, which advocates for free markets, said Gingrich's position goes beyond the Republican mainstream.
"There is quite a difference between child labor and teenage labor," Sherk said in an interview. "Policies focusing on teenage labor allows them to get work experience, teaches them to wake up in the morning on a Saturday."
Some Republican lawmakers would go as far as Gingrich. In Missouri, Republican State Sen. Jane Cunningham sought unsuccessfully this year to eliminate a ban on employment of children younger than 14. She doesn't plan to try again, according to Kit Crancer, Cunningham's chief of staff.
In Utah, first-term Republican U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, who is supported by groups affiliated with the Tea Party, posted a video on his YouTube channel, saying the federal child-labor law violates the Constitution.
The federal law is "an interference with how parents chose to raise their kids," he said.

Indore: Manav Thakkar, Varuni Jaiswal and Ishhita Gupta helped India wrest the initiative and win three singles gold medals, apart from the Junior Boys doubles gold, to lift the sagging morale of the hosts in ITTF 2016 India Junior and Cadet Open Table Tennis Championships.
India won four gold medals to Taipei's five, including four in team events, to be second in the medal chart. India also won one silver and five bronze medals.
Manav, who helped himself to a double gold, defeated Tai Ming-Wei 4-3 in the Junior Boys singles final playing a percentage game. The lead kept changing hands, but Manav had the upper hand in the last two games. His win in the crucial sixth game helped him gain confidence which he carried on in the decider as he demolished his Taipei opponent.
In Junior Girls, Varuni was trailing 0-3 and then 3-7 the decider. If a timeout at the wrong time by Taipei girl, induced by her coach, helped the Indian after she got her fourth point, Varuni was also aided by the red card to Taipei coach Yang Chia En—he was shown a yellow in the second game—for repeat offence of illegal advice. From there, egged on by the crowd, Varuni systematically went about accomplishing the golden feat for the first time with a cool head.
"Timeout was the turning point," admitted Varuni. "I knew I was very much in the game and I told myself that I should win the medal for the country," she added. Indeed, the little girl from Hyderabad did precisely that after being down 1-3 to outplay her opponent in the last three games to take the match.
In Cadet Girls, Ishita Gutpa defeated Huang Yu-Jie 11-9, 6-11, 11-9, 7-11, 11-9 for her maiden international title and the win was worth more than the gold she won. The Delhi girl, who has a couple of zonal titles to her credit, surged ahead with a 2-1 lead only to let her opponent off the hook in the fourth game.
This allowed Taipei's Huang stage a fine recovery and take the issue to the decider. In the decider, Ishita capitalized on her rival's mistake and converted some good winners despite a solid showing from Huang.
Apart from the Cadet Girls singles title, India also won the Junior Boys doubles gold when Thakkar and Ananth Devarajan combined to outwit Taipei's Lai Chi-Chien andTai Ming-Wei 11-7, 7-11, 11-7, 8-11, 12-10.
Thakkar was the lone Indian who played with authority to beat Taipei rival Lai Chi-Chien in straight games. The latter made a late surge in the fourth game but it was too late and too little in the day as Manav after three deuces pulled it off for a meeting with Tai Min-Wei, who beat Anirban Ghosh, in Junior Boys final.
Sreeja Akula, despite better seeding, struggled in the face of a stiff resistance from Varuna Jaiswal and ultimately gave in to the guile of a better prepared Varuni on the day. The two, hailing from Telangana and knowing each other too well, exploited weak links with Varuni winning crucial points for the 4-3 triumph.
In Cadet Boys, Manush Shah made it to the final beating Huang Hung-Chou 3-2 while Tai, who also reached the Junior Boys final, beat compatriot Huang Yan-Cheng 3-1. Ishita Gupta struggled to overcome Manushree Patil 3-2 in Cadet Girls' semifinal. But Yuang Yu-Jie disposed of Chien 3-0 in the other match.

20 We are Christ's ambassadors. God is using us to speak to
you: we beg you, as though Christ himself were here pleading
with you, receive the love he offers you–be reconciled to God.
An ambassador is a resident representative for the head of state
of their own country.
As citizens of Heaven, we are authorized to represent our King,
the Lord Jesus Christ, here on Earth.
An ambassador is a very important person. Unless they do their
job correctly, misunderstanding can easily develop — and
possibly even war.
This is Heaven's problem. Its ambassadors have not always
clearly communicated the correct message to Earth's
inhabitants. That is why so many people are "at war with God"
instead of enjoying the blessings of peace with God.
The problem comes from people misunderstanding God, and not
realizing the sin problem has already been dealt with in
21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering
for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through
The logic supporting the plea in verse 20, to be reconciled to
God, is found in verse 21: the sin separating us from God has
been dealt with through Christ. So we no longer need to hide
from God, or fear His judgment. Instead, we can enjoy His gift
of being made right with Him.
A good ambassador for Heaven must know the message of God, and
speak His message — accurately.
One way of determining the accurate message of Jesus Christ is
found in John 8:31-32. Jesus said His message would make people
free — not beat them down or put them in bondage.
God has a message that He desires for every person to hear: He
loves them, and will help them, if they will only turn to Him.
We must communicate that message clearly.
This message of God's love for mankind was displayed in and
through a person: Jesus of Nazareth. We learn of Him, and His
message, through a book — the Holy Bible.
Actually, Jesus Himself was, and is, God's message. We need
only present Jesus to people as He truly was, and is — and
they will be drawn to Him, because there is no fault in Him.
An ambassador does not speak for himself — he speaks the
official policy and message of the country he represents.
So we are not here to give our opinion, but to proclaim what
God has said in His written Word, the Bible — Heaven's
official message.

For the second consecutive year, the Indie Memphis Film Festival drew more than 10,000 movie fans to its four-day event as this year's attendance totaled 10,035 according to final figures released today.
"We're obviously very pleased with the continued growth and popularity of the event," said Erik Jambor, executive director of Indie Memphis. "It is exciting to watch our grown match the impressive evolution of Overton Square. With the completion of the new Hattiloo Theater next year, 2014 should be even better."
Nationally-ranked as one of the "25 Coolest Film Festivals" by MovieMaker magazine and named a "Top 20 Event" by the Southeast Tourism Society, this year's 16th annual edition screened about 140 features, shorts and documentaries.
"We were delighted with the turnout for the film and music programs this year," said Iddo Patt, president, board of directors of Indie Memphis. "There were more venues at, near (and sometimes over) capacity than ever before. It was a real thrill to see the community respond so eagerly to the terrific programming Erik pulled together."
Part of the appeal of the festival is that attendees have the opportunity to participate in question-and-answer sessions with filmmakers and special guests following many of the showings and panel discussions. Among the large number of special guests were actor Harry Lennix (Man of Steel, NBC's The Black List) and noted horror film director Ti West (The Sacrament, The House of the Devil).
The event, presented by Duncan-Williams, Inc., an investment banking firm headquartered in Memphis, again offered Innovation Conversations, a programming segment that focused on innovation.
This year's Innovation Conversations segment focused on "The Art and Science of Storytelling," and was integrated into the regular programming of the festival, complementing the independent and creative spirit of the established Memphis festival.
One of Innovation's biggest draws was Mike McAvoy, president of multimedia news organization Onion Inc., who discussed The Onion's varied and complimentary channels of satire, entertainment news via The AV Club, and branded content. The entire Innovation program was free to the public.
The 2012 festival drew 11,028 attendees, shattering the previous attendance record of 8,000 set in 2011. With this year's Innovation Conversations more closely integrated into festival programming, audience capacity was reduced and caused a slight dip in overall festival attendance.
New this year was a night of free movies – a Friday evening double-feature shown outdoors in Overton Square's new Tower Courtyard, which drew a large audience despite heavy rains which brought an early end to the evening.
Cash awards totaling $6,000 and other prizes were presented at Sunday's award ceremony that wrapped up the festival. A trio of women filmmakers captured two of the top awards as Eliza Hittman won the jury award for Best Narrative Feature with It Felt Like Love and directors Katherine Dohan and Alanna Stewart won the Special Jury Award for Emerging Artist Award with their debut feature, What I Love About Concrete.
