Breastmilk is commonly referred to as "liquid gold" and every breastfeeding mama I know hates to waste even one drop. When my milk came in I was seriously leaking everywhere. I had to change my breastpads 6 or more times a day for the first 2 months. I would have loved to have known about Milkies Milk-Saver during that time as I'm so curious just how much breastmilk leaked in to my nursing pads.
For any mama dealing with oversupply or a double let down that causes leaking from the breast that is not being nursed on a Milkies Milk-Saver is an awesome way to save that liquid gold!
It is so simple to use and does not get in the way like a pumping flange. Plus, if you are already dealing with oversupply it won't stimulate more milk production like a pump because there is no suction and it just catches what is already leaking out. The Milk-Saver very easily slides right in to your bra to collect the milk and stays put within your bra cup. It will hold roughly 2 ounces of milk.
The Milk-Saver is very slim and discreet. It comes with a carry case so that it is easily portable for nursing on the go. The carry case also doubles as a stand so after you have filled up the Milk-Saver there are no worries about any spilling after you set it down to tend to baby.
To avoid embarrassing wet milk leaks on your shirt, constantly changing nursing pads, and wasting that precious breastmilk the Milkies Milk-Saver is a must-have item!
The Milkies Milk-Saver can be purchased from Fairhaven Health for $27.95. Fairhaven Health also carries a large range of fertility, pregnancy, and nursing products including vitamins, supplements, teas, and much more.
Be sure to visit the Fairhaven Health website to see their full line of fertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding products.

South Africa's widespread occurrence of absent fathers has a negative effect on children and how they develop through various stages of their lives.
This is backed up by research conducted by the Centre for Social Development in Africa and the Sonke Gender Justice Project. The studies explored what fatherhood means, and the causes and consequences of absent fathers,both on fathers themselves as well as their children.
As the country just celebrated Father's Day, 702's Azania Mosaka invited listeners to share their thoughts about father's and children who were not able to be together on this special day.
Listen to the conversation below:
What affects the relationship with any child is the acrimonious legal system that children get dragged into that result in traumatic separations.— Keleme, caller in Joburg
It's something that we need to deal with as a community. In some instances, you find that fathers want to be part of the upbringing of the young one but mothers don't want to.— Moshere, caller in Pretoria
I grew up without my father...It used to be so painful and I think it has affected me. Now I have my son and the father doesn't want to be pat of his life. I don't want him to feel the pain I went through.— Evidoa, caller in Springs

You are currently browsing the daily archive for January 13, 2009.
Note: This is the second of a series of posts I am writing about online dating. If you missed the first one, be sure to check out it before reading this one.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the rules that apply to offline dating is equally applicable to online dating. Just because meeting people online is different and more efficient, doesn't mean that it is governed by a new set of rules of engagement. For that reason, first impression is just as critical even if the medium of exchange is casual.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, it is worthwhile to mention that men are more visual whereas women are more verbal. That is not to say men are not attracted to women who write well or that women are not attracted to nice looking gentlemen. But as a rule of thumb, women are more attracted to men who have a way with their words, while men tend to gravitate towards women they find good looking.
Having said, that, I've confirmed the following with my small sample of friends: more often than not, the way a woman judges whether a profile is worth the pursue is how much information she can gather from the words on the page. In general, the more the merrier. So if you have a choice of writing one paragraph versus four, write four. But simply having more words won't cut it. The point is how well can a guy convey who he is in the space he was allotted to talk about himself, not how verbose he needs to be to get his points across.
Rather than talk about it, I thought I would show an example of a rich profile (note the number of words as well as the language this person used to describe himself — every word is deeply meaningful):
"Life for me is all about balance, being open-minded and trying everything once. You're just as likely to find me at the theater, symphony or opera as at a crowded live show up front with ear plugs in. You might see me sipping Pinot at a gallery downtown, and then run into me gawking at fire-spewing art cars on the playa at Burning Man.
"I relish the comforts of home, but have been known to travel for months at a time with only my backpack, my camera, and antimalarial pills. I'm mostly a city boy, but love skiing off steeps, diving into bodies of water, and feeling sand on my skin.
"I can be cynical and sarcastic with the best of them, but those who know me well think of me as a romantic idealist with a soft gooey center. I can be independent and reflective, but have a wild side that comes out to play hard when the mood strikes."
On the other hand, here is a profile that is sorely lacking in substance:
"i'm a pretty well-rounded guy – smart, athletic, and artistic. i'm into the outdoors. i can re-model a house.
i try to be conscious of how i live my life and how i treat people. i try to spread happiness when i can."
The difference between the two profiles is how concrete a picture they each painted. The first profile provided visuals using words; instead of just describing who he is with adjectives, he painted the kind of person he is with what he likes to do. After reading the profile, I immediately got a sense of who he is without ever meeting him. On the other hand, the second profile not only used very few words to describe himself, his description is hardly memorable or differentiating from most of the profiles out there.
Another aspect of first impression is how you choose to present yourself. I've seen too many pictures of men drinking beer in wild party settings. There's absolutely nothing wrong with posting pictures like that, but know that those kinds of pictures are mostly attractive to people who are like that themselves. If that's the kind of person you hope to attract, then by all means. Since I am not a party girl myself, I tend to stay away from profiles blasted with party photos. It's simply not my cup of tea!
Finally, if the online dating sites allow you to choose your handle name, choose the name wisely. Avoid words that convey pretentiousness or larger than life sentiment unless, of course, you are trying to attract people who like those qualities in a mate. For example, calling yourself a "Prince" or a "SuperStar" is a big no-no, as is describing yourself as "sexy", "freak" or "angry".
Have more to add? Please post them in the comment section!

{3:06 minutes to read}
For couples who have children and are divorcing, there's no more important subject to discuss than their parenting arrangements post-divorce.
As we are working in mediation, my couples sometimes ask if there is a best parenting plan that they should adopt and follow. The short answer to that question is no. The slightly longer answer is – no, because so much depends on the unique circumstances and needs of your specific family and its members.
Here are just a few of the many issues that have to be addressed when a couple is putting together their parenting plan:
- the age of the children and their developmental needs;
- the children's school schedules and extracurricular activities;
- the parents' work schedules;
- scheduling for holidays and summer vacations;
- the distance of the non-residential parent's home from the children; and
- any special needs of the children (such as disabilities or health issues).
When creating the plan:
Be Specific
Typically, it's best for a parenting plan to be as specific as possible. For example, both the routine weekly/monthly schedule, as well as the specific holiday schedules, should give the exact times for pickup and return of the children, as well as where the exchange will take place (at a parent's home or in a neutral location, etc.).
Of course, if a couple gets along well and can accommodate each other comfortably, they may not need to follow the parenting plan to a "T." But in the majority of cases, there is some degree of friction, so specificity definitely works best.
Build in a Review Process
Provide a mechanism for periodic review/re-evaluation of the plan. This is especially important if the children are young. One of my couples, with a two-and-a-half-year-old, chose to schedule a review right before the child entered kindergarten. For other couples, it might be sufficient to include a provision (which is standard in my agreements) that they will return to mediation if circumstances change and parenting issues arise.
Use Mediation
A major benefit of working with parents who have chosen the mediation setting for resolving their differences (as opposed to a contentious litigation process) is that they are more willing to work out an agreement and parenting plan that is fair and that best meets the needs of their children. Additionally, research shows that post-divorce, couples are much more likely to comply with an agreement that they have worked on together through mediation.

The Sales Signals We're Ignoring Could Be Worth Millions
We've all heard the line, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" It typically leads to discussion on observations and perception, and the idea that if something is not heard, is it even there?
Now, let's apply it to sales. "If data about your customers and prospects isn't entered into your CRM, does it even exist?"
I asked this question recently to a handful of sales executives and the answer was, "we have mandated that all info needs to be entered into the CRM, but quite frankly, the reps aren't doing it." But that was far from the end of the conversation. What quickly evolved was a deeper conversation about how ineffective the CRM insights are if all the info and activity captured isn't understood and utilized.
Getting More Out of Your Tools and Processes
If you're like most enterprise sales organizations you've invested in processes, tools, personnel, market research….and that's just the start. You likely have 10+ SalesTech apps your sales team is balancing. Even more if you include email, calendars, text messages, phone, etc.
All of these tools — the ones mentioned above, as well as automated emails, dialers, content management systems, help desk apps, you name it — are producing a massive amount of "digital exhaust." Data and insights. Reactions and responses that are sometimes quick, sometimes delayed, and at times, non existent.
We've always tracked "Records" using traditional, structured databases. But today with emerging Systems of Intelligence, we can move beyond these simple static data points (was an emailed opened or did they register for a webinar) to gather deep insights that are being referred to as "Signals" (that digital exhaust I mentioned). We can now analyze, measure, and monitor — everything from intent to speed, sentiment to intensity, and so much more.
Each of these "Sales Signals" can impact your sales cycle. They are critical to understanding the buyer's journey as well as a prospect's buying intentions. And they can help you weed out the bad leads, know where to focus your time and ultimately close deals faster.
Here are three ways to get the most out of your Sales Signals:
- Understand what digital Signals are being produced. Every Signal. From every sales and marketing application. And even better, understand those signals sent from IT support, finance, or other divisions in your company that may be communicating with your prospects. Yes they downloaded that white paper, but NO that does not automatically mean they want a phone call and to be put into a cadence for email outreach campaigns. The intent matters. And ignoring it can lead to a very negative customer experience.
- Automate signal and data capture. For decades, we've required reps to manually enter in the details of their deal engagements. And it hasn't worked. They do it reluctantly, entering the bare minimum. The result is sales management has limited visibility into the pipeline. Get your reps out of the data clerk business using the many automated tools available and finally fill your CRM with complete and accurate customer information.
- Know how each signal, and the combination of multiple signals, impact pipeline movement. Each customer journey is different. Just because two prospects end up at the same point, does not make them the same. They likely made the purchasing decision at different stages, with different budgets, different decision makers, and were motivated by different triggers. And yet, we've always grouped them as the same — simply as WINS or LOSSES. With Signals, we can finally piece together each individual puzzle to take the right action at the right time.
Just like the trees falling in the forest, "Sales Signals" are happening — whether someone is there to hear them or not. Innovative sales organizations are putting strategies in place to capture and understand them, and they are being rewarded. The results are not only increased pipeline velocity and improved quota attainment, but also an overall better customer experience which will deliver returns for many years to come.
This week's post is by guest author, Larry Warnock, President and CEO of Olono, your sales sidekick. A SaaS-based solution, Olono changes the way sales professionals work, combining universal data integration, big data, machine learning, and predictive analytics to analyze every touch point related to the sales process.

Mountain Light Darkened
Galen Rowell had a dizzying travel schedule. Nepal, Tibet, China, Pakistan. The Arctic and Antarctica. Patagonia. Africa. It seemed like I was always running into him in Alaska or the Himalaya-but wherever it was, his bonhomie was a welcome antidote to life on the road.
Galen was a superb all-around alpinist and wilderness traveler. Many of his best trips involved skiing: Among them were a 285-mile winter ski traverse of the Karakoram and a climb of 24,757-foot Mustagh Ata, perhaps the highest ascent and descent yet performed entirely on skis.
In the wee hours of August 11, 2002, Galen, his wife, Barbara, and another passenger were riding in a Cessna piloted by a close friend. Two miles south of their home runway in Bishop, California, the plane crashed for reasons unknown as of this writing. Everyone aboard died on impact.
Though Galen was the one most often mentioned in the news, it is impossible to understand him without considering Barbara. Their lives were entwined.
Still in his 20s and working as a car mechanic, Galen decided to leverage his considerable talents as a rock climber in Yosemite and become a photographer of mountains. Barbara was a self-described gypsy: She loved wandering, flying her airplanes, and seeing sublime landscapes. At one point, while doing marketing work for The North Face, she hired Galen to write about and photograph a backpack. Love followed.
Barbara soon ran the couple's photography business, Mountain Light, and was a frequent companion on Galen's trips. She often produced, by her husband's own admission, a sizable portion of the best images in the picture file.
Galen's photography celebrated the 19th-century romantic notion that landscapes untouched by human hands are the repository of the pure and holy. From this perspective, another sunrise over the Sierra was always worth shooting. And the mass market loved it: In 25 years, he published 18 books and countless magazine articles, and hosted workshops in far-flung corners of the planet. Ironically and sadly, lives that had been so much about traveling the world came to an end so close to home.
Wildlife photographer James Balog is the author of five books, and his images have appeared in dozens of international art collections. In 1996, he was the first photographer ever commissioned to create stamps for the U.S. Postal Service.

In the beginning; you! "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1, NIV). "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1, NIV). Dare I say again, in the beginning; you. You have been with God and you are of God, you were amongst the creation of the heavens and the earth. This is a truly beautiful and powerful statement if you take into consideration what this means for your identity.
With so much going on in the world it is easy to get become mentally overwhelmed. It's easy to lose sight of our spirituality. We see divided lines that separate us by religion and even within our own religions often even deeper trenches of division. We can easily forget who we are in the universe. This lack of identity is the cause of much of the negativity that is taking place in the world.
We do not have to try to understand God, we are God. It is our birthright. The angels have looked upon us with envy. We are given the keys to the kingdom, but often have forgotten how to use them. Taking hold of our birthright, waking up as Christ on earth is the ultimate in self-realization. This will also take an extraordinary amount of faith.
Faith is the power of the universe; it is the action that creates. Faith declares what exist before manifestation. "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see," (Hebrews 11:1, NIV). "The God who gives life to death and calls into being things that was not." (Romans 4:17, NIV). These are powerful verses of the creating power of God; your creating power. You are only limited by your doubt.
What is then the beginning if there is no end? There is then beginning and only landmarks that light the path of eternity. You are this, and this is you. We are often blinded by the constantly growing scales of doubt and deception. It is not easy being assigned to live within these bodies; we long for our redemption. Yet as a fresh seed planted must go through the stages until death in order to be rebirthed to greater life. Hold to the faith; create a life for the benefit of others, and accept no limitations.

While Ariana Smith's parents sat and explained why a sick little girl, who's video was posted on the internet, didn't have any hair, the 3-year-old quickly responded, "Oh, she can have some of mine."
After explaining just why the girl had no hair, the little one decided to donte her own.
Her mom and dad made the decision to donate heir daughter's hair to Locks of Love, which is a nonprofit organization that provides hair for the disadvantaged afflicted with health-related hair loss. Smith, 33, stated that Ariana was close to a couple of older people with cancer, and once she discovered the little girl, she had a difficult time understanding that kids can have it as well.
"When she offered to donate her hair to the 'sick young girl,' we just naturally kind of agreed on and also encouraged it," he stated.
The 3-year-old was very eager about cutting off her hair that it was all she talked about for some time leading up to it, Smith noted. They carried Ariana to the hairdresser for her first (ever) haircut. Smith shared that his daughter had previously been fighting a haircut for some time. She was possibly far too fearful of the unknown or perhaps so attached to her hair, he explained. Smith said that while his daughter's understanding of life and the world is limited, she understands the significance of her donation.
Nonetheless, as soon as the little girl made up her mind, "We never had to reinforce the donation or even talk her into carrying it out," Smith explained.
The hairdresser chopped off 10 inches of Ariana's hair. Smith said that while his daughter's understanding of life and the world is limited, she understands the significance of her gift.

One hundred and forty men from across Australia gathered at the Collaroy Centre in Northern Sydney for the 6th National 'Young Men of God' conference.
The weekend was held between 14-16 October with men from all walks of life attending, and of all ages – the youngest being 16-years. Seventeen men from the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne attended.
The theme of the conference was 'Don't be afraid to be a witness to Christ', with the men enjoying daily praise and worship, Mass, adoration, prayer ministry and a series of talks and workshops.
Some of the guest speakers included Fr Chris Ryan MGL, Sam Clear, who walked around the world for 18 months for Christian Unity, authors and international speakers from Choicez Media Jonathon and Karen Doyle, Shayne Bennett, founder of NET Ministries and leader of Emmanuel community in Brisbane and Fr Ken Barker MGL, who founded the movement in 2000. There was also plenty of time for sports and social activities down by the nearby beach.
YMG is a movement of 16-35 year-old Catholic men committed to being transformed by God's Word and empowered by the Spirit to courageously stand up and be men of example and influence within their family, workplace, community, country and the world.
Father Ken has a strong conviction that God has a plan for young men to rise up in the Church today with a deep faith, purity of heart and strength of character and to become leaders for the future.
Melbourne-based member Luke O'Connor said, "The Young Men of God movement is about a brotherhood of men walking together in faith".
"Our mission is to re-ignite men throughout our country, to help them reach their God-given potential, to be heralds of the truth for future generations and to empower others to realise their immense value and purpose as children of God."
"YMG is a valuable resource for empowering men to be leaders in their respective parishes and communities and in the world. We achieve this through conferences, weekends away, regular small groups and fellowship.
"One of the major things for YMG is that we are for all men from all walks of life no matter where they are on their faith journey. We have guys who are in RCIA through to consecrated and Priests, married and lay single men."
Ben O'Heir from Canberra is married with two children and one on the way. He said: "We need good men to stand up and be counted and we need to support our men for the future of the country.
"When you look back on your life at 70, what legacy are you going to leave? Young Men Of God is a resource for the Catholic Church."
James McAlpin, from Melbourne, first heard about the conference through a close friend of his who had participated in the 'Sisterhood' national conference also held at the Collaroy Centre.
"When I think about the weekend and past experiences in my life, this has to be up there with the best of them," he said. "I have been involved in many football trips and weekends away, but none of these weekends compare to the richness and constant 'golden' offerings that have been provided here."
"Speaking to all the lads, who have their own unique stories to tell, was a highlight, as were the talks, the games and even the food. The many hours I spent with the Lord in quiet prayer and adoration was also a highlight."
YMG is currently based in Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide. In Melbourne, YMG runs a fortnightly 'Connect night' for men. For more information, seewww.ymgmovement.org

Professor Hilary Thomas looks at the coming together of community services and the movement of cash flow.
Last week we focused on the movement of data in community services. While that is critical for the coming together of community services, perhaps even more fundamental is the need for money and financial incentives to align, ensuring community services reduce the burden on the hospital front door.
It isn't a huge leap to move from discussions about the movement of data to that of cash flow as many of the principles outlined in relation to data also apply to the movement of money around the system. After all, a common taxonomy and agreed way to record information will both be required for the money to follow the patient and incentivise the right changes. As justifiable as it was to paraphrase Bill Clinton's campaign phrase when discussing data, the same should be said for cash flow: "It's the system, stupid".
Of course, one of the big question is how money flows between health and social care. Writing in HSJ in May, Thomas Hughes-Hallett, the outgoing chief executive of Marie Curie commented that "the lack of integration between health and social care services can restrict innovation, but innovations in social care can realise savings in healthcare and vice versa". His point should not be lost because unlocking this challenge is critical for the transformational changes many community services will require.
It isn't just about using social care staff more effectively to make a step change in skill-mixes; what also counts is enabling community staff to be more effectively leveraged, so they are able to supervise larger groups of patients. You only have to look at the effect had when Marie Curie work with forward looking commissioners. They seem able to overcome this challenge to enable more people to move from hospital to home to receive end of life care where they want it.
Technology is a further powerful enabler that we have been woefully inadequate at using as we can't seem to spend the money in an effective way to change the way the service wraps around the patient. Some health economies, for example, have purchased kit but have not effected the service redesign and change management to capitalise on it.
The real challenge in making this work is in designing pathways around patients, end-to-end, and working with staff and patients to ensure these new pathways are adopted and diffused - the two biggest challenges to any innovation. From the patient's perspective care should be seamless, irrespective of the organisational forms involved and should be based around clinical leadership. Of course, the clinical leadership need not rest within the organisation which takes the lead on the pathway.
Yet it's not all bad. Where the system, as a complete entity, really works well it seems that strong relationships exists on the ground across multiple organisations. Without breaking them, the teams on the ground overcome any issues created by the rules and regulations to simply do the best for the patient. This is further helped by co-location - and the adaptation of many of our tired, community facilities to offer fit for purpose 21st century care will be key to ensure success.
Put simply, if emerging commissioners are unable to move money around the system to make this happen smoothly and motivate all parties to cooperate, change will only happen in pockets and be less effective than anyone would hope - or expect - to see.
And it is at this point that strong leadership really matters. Leaders will be important in agreeing how bundles of care, rather than interventions, can be supported - removing the historical pull of the hospital. It won't be easy because to achieve this will require a culture shift - not only for social or community care, but also for the health professionals in the system.
Individuals characteristically default to being loyal to their employing organisation so some investment in working out how money needs to flow through the system to support the patient but also, ultimately, to do more with less, is more than necessary. It must happen so we can genuinely move away from a system which is focused on payment for activity to one which looks at outcomes - and it will require starting small pilots, which can then be grown.
That's not to say we should be starting from scratch as there are already models of integrated care emerging around the country. Some have been fostered by pooling resources and ensuring hospitals are supported during the transition. However, strong personal leadership by hospital-based clinicians is also essential to oversee community delivered models - and where this exists already, there are some very good news stories. The unfortunate thing, now though, is that this often happens in spite of the way money flows and to make it real across wider geographies will require a leap of faith and some bold changes to the way care is commissioned.
Perhaps some particularly courageous localities will be able to develop from personalised budgets to delivering models of care where patients themselves can help to innovate. The self-care model of renal dialysis in Jonkoping was designed by a patient and, at Guy's, home dialysis at night grew thanks to motivated patients. That principle could be extended in community services. Indeed I suspect most renal dialysis will be delivered in community-based settings within a decade.
If the cash doesn't flow smoothly to enable this to happen services in the UK will fall behind those of other European nations. We cannot afford to let that happen and some disruptive innovation will be required in community services to really transform the type of care and how it is delivered. Success will need brave commissioners, leadership and vision. Getting it right could make patient's lives better and greatly enhance the job satisfaction of those delivering care.

Little-known fact: Lightning is more likely to strike in a campground in the Outaouais region, between a Thursday and a Sunday in July.
The Outaouais is the most lightning-prone region in Quebec, followed by Greater Montréal and the Montérégie region. "That's because those areas are very hot and humid, conditions that tend to bring on thunderstorms. And of course thunderstorms mean lightning," explains Amélie Bertrand, a meteorologist in charge of weather alerts at Environment and Climate Change Canada.
While the federal department doesn't keep precise statistics for Quebec, it still records 150 injuries and up to 10 fatalities every year caused by lightning across the country. And 65% of these cases are related to outdoor recreational activities, most of them involving camping.
Since people are more likely to head outdoors on weekends and generally take their holidays in July, often a hot and humid month, this is peak time for lightning.Even though the risk of being hit by lightning is about 1 in 250,000, you still need to be very careful. A lightning bolt could miss you, but strike a tree next to you, split it and topple it over. Lightning can also cause a shock wave with ground currents that can travel underground for dozens of metres or through tree roots and electrocute people.
The worst thing to do when lightning threatens is to lie down on the ground in your tent, since it offers no protection from above or below. As soon as you hear thunder, you're best to take shelter in a building or a vehicle, if possible, or under a canoe, and stay there until about 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder.
"There's no shelter that's 100% safe, but it's important to put as many barriers as possible between you and the lightning, for the most protection," explains Bertrand. "If there is something solid over your head it can offer you a bit more protection from a falling branch or tree."
In fact, you should keep lightning hazards in mind when choosing your campsite. Beneath an isolated tree or the tallest tree around, next to a metal fence or at the top of a hill – they might seem like ideal spots, but in fact you should avoid them.
People in a mobile home or RV will be safe in a thunderstorm, provided that they don't touch any parts in contact with the vehicle's metal shell. An RV can be struck by lightning if it is connected to an electrical network or if its levelling jacks are in contact with the ground.
In the back country, you are best to stay away from risky locations like peaks, ridges and high ground, as these are places most likely to be hit by lightning. "A lightning bolt always takes the shortest route to reach the ground," explains Bertrand.
Environment Canada also suggests that you avoid open areas larger than 100 metres, and look for a downslope or a ravine to take shelter. Groups should split up, to prevent multiple injuries if lightning does strike. You can also consult the Canadian Lightning Danger Map on your mobile device and take shelter if you're in one of the danger zones marked in red.

Turbine released the concept art for one of its major bosses from the upcoming Rise of Isengard expansion: Draigoch. With it came a number of appropriate "oohs" and "ahhs," and no doubt raiders began thinking up uses for a giant dragon skull in their homes. But there was also a crowd that popped out to cry foul about lore molestation -- that this was a blatant example of Turbine pandering to MMO players by including the expected dragons even when the lore shouldn't support it.
A couple examples of quotes, first. "Yet whatever way you cut this idea, how can you integrate another dragon into the story? Smaug was the last one of his kind," Contains Moderate Peril complains. A commenter on our article sniped, "So Turbine's decided to entirely drop the pretense of sticking to the lore, then?"
As much as I am totally not attached to MMO lore in general, I feel like this might be a good time to both address this particular argument and also the larger one of Turbine's approach to Tolkien's world. Are giant dragons lore-breaking? Does Turbine simply not care about remaining faithful to source material? Do you have my decaf light mocha with cinnamon sprinkles?

Sky ...
All of my papers are from Oscraps.
We've had some great spring weather down here in Australia, my two were ocean swimming on this day and I'm sure you'll see a page about that soon too .... this event sort of took over that day though!

gorgeous colours in the sky Amy, sometimes its hard to translate that onto the camera! what an exciting day at the beach (I was driving at Mission Beach and nearly went off the road busy watching paragliders as well!)ReplyDelete
Wow. That looks amazing! I am so busting to print some enlargements (boy that word shows my age!) and do a whole heap of versions of that layout. I really like that aqua and the blue together!ReplyDelete
Hi Sharon, we must have been typing at precisely the same time!ReplyDelete

Love your colours you have chosen to go with the photo.ReplyDelete
So does that mean you didn't get to talk to them and see the chute up close and be a part of it all? (I mean other than almost being landed upon). And hey, they have some steering capability with those chutes... you think they landed on top of you purposefully???ReplyDelete
That's a beautiful photo. And your story reminds me of my friend who used to paraglide. She loved it but was not overly adept at landing. One time she too landed in someone's picnic.ReplyDelete
Eventually she was forced to quit her sport on her Dr's advice - one more bad landing and she risked never walking again. Calm, peaceful, beautiful yes, but also dangerous.
Great LO Amy....and glad you took the time (hey! you're a scrapbooker- of course you would!) to get that great shot!ReplyDelete
Alison xx
Great shot! I love the way you've used that block of pink, it works so well, but it would never have occurred to me!ReplyDelete
Perfect for that big beautiful photographReplyDelete
Love this layout and the mauve(?)to mat the journaling really makes it hold it's own agt that gorgeous blue sky.ReplyDelete
Amy, this is gorgeous :) That sky!! And I love Nicole's sketch, I must do something with it myself :)ReplyDelete

Global Cooling or Heating? Man-Made Climate Change is A Reality But So What?
In response to the above UPI article, titled "Antarctic sea ice shows record growth, climate change likely cause" that I shared and commented on my Facebook profile I received this response from a friend who very obviously cares for the planet and is way smarter than I about these issue:
The article says: "Antarctic sea ice is seeing a rapid period of growth this year". The key phrase is "this year". You must have seen measurements that indicate ice cap reduction, year after year. These are the extreme weather conditions that are described as part of climate change.
So Scott, if you don't believe there's anthropogenic climate change (not "global warming") you should explain the processes that are absorbing or neutralizing the pollutants going into the sea, air and land, or why these "unnatural contaminants" have no effect on environmental conditions, when everything else does. Also you can discuss what you think is motivating the absolute majority of scientist to support a "theory" that is total bullshit. What is the payback? In science there are always opposing views for every "accepted fact", but to be valid the opposing view needs to have some basic observable facts that can support it. I've seen many arguments against all the talking points related to anthropogenic climate change but I haven't seen the facts that support the possibility of a perfectly natural process that is part of "global evolution".
I honestly would like to hear your explanation because I consider you a very intelligent person. That's the reason I left this off the comments on your post.
And if after reading this you have any doubt of what I think of you, re-read the last message on your Inbox, just above this one. Even though I believe you're a true Pirate, that opinion still holds.
I responded thusly, perhaps waxing on just a bit too much:
First, please understand that my comments in that specific post were meant to highlight the parody of the argument about climate change – but more, specifically, global warming vs. global cooling.
Man made climate change is in fact a reality, but let's not get into the semantics about whether the globe is cooling or warming.
Our existence on Earth has most definitely precipitated an evolutionary change; one which we cannot fully describe or quantify – and perhaps most unsettling, one that doesn't have an outcome. The only way to qualify or quantify an outcome is to measure or describe it at a specific time. Because the earth will be here far longer than we, it is immeasurable (by us anyway) thus anything other than the very certain cosmic ending to our planet is only a stage of development. Call it the evolution of Earth.
Sad? Some might think so. I certain abhor much of the negative results that we can in fact realistically control – but I'm also mindful that humans are temporary. We will be long gone before this planet dies from "natural causes" (in the greater sense of its existence in the cosmos) and when we are gone a new reality will have replaced us. What that will look like is beyond the scope of my imagination.
Let me also add that I am not a nihilist; just because we may not be here 10,000 years from now, does not mean that we don't have a duty to leave this place in a better condition that we found it for our children. On a much grander scale, we also have a duty to be good steward of the **living and breathing** planet on which live, regardless for how long.
My post was not necessarily meant to be "intellectually honest" and that many times I do, admittedly, pander to some segments of my social media audience. I mean c'mon look at how I addressed germ warfare and the 5 second rule of food dropping on the ground…
As there is no doubt that we have caused climate change it is also undeniable that the Earth has gone through geologic periods of massive atmospheric and climate upheaval during which would not have otherwise supported human life… undoubtedly she will go through many of these periods in her future. Extinction events happen (there have essentially been 5 so far) and humans cannot escape that reality – whether it happens next week or next year or 10,000 years from now.
As of a few moments ago, it looks like it might happen sooner rather than later:

— L. Scott Harrell (@lscottharrell) October 17, 2014
I'm not that guy that will point blank say, "Who cares? We're doomed as a species anyway." but taking our social ethics and responsibility to many future generations out of the equation (let's hope that we don't cause our own demise), who is to say that any outcome of our climate change is positive or negative? Do we, as humans, feel better for having someone or something to blame? I think so. As a species that unequivocally must live a life fully aware of our own impending demise but, as a whole, never fully appreciate that life ends, we must blame someone or something to rationalize our fear of death and dying.
A lot of people forget that the mess we're in now is as a direct result of our eternal quest to prolong our own lives and making ourselves more comfortable while we are here. Put bluntly, "anthropogenic climate change" is a direct cause of humans doing what we do best, what we're programmed to do:
Avoid pain and move towards pleasure.
Is it not?
So, in light of climate change and its deleterious effects on us NOW, we again (predictably) must avoid the pain and find a way to change it. We want to REVERSE climate change because we know what it used to be like (we lived), which of course is better than the unknown (though I am not using the phrase "unknown outcome").
Funny how we're just now coming to that conclusion – AGAIN.
People have been creating environmental and atmospheric change for as long as we've recorded history – using the natural resources within reach unavoidably causes a ripple in the **current** (geologic time) homogeny nature has developed. We require Earth's resources to live. We cannot be so sensitive that we cannot justify living.
Through experience comes knowledge. We KNOW now that there is a better way. We know that, to some extent, we can reduce our impact on nature. Those resources of which we are most in need, water, food, energy can be managed in a massively more sustainable way. In many cases we can repair the damage which we've caused, too.
The conclusion is this: The real problem is not recognizing or even admitting climate change, it is about finding the ETHOS on a human scale to do something about it.
That, however, comes with change. Change is uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable is a state of being that humans instinctively move away from.
Our ethos is not aligned with our pathos, despite the logos, and, as a result, our existence is on an unmanageable trajectory that we cannot (will not) alter because we cannot even define when or where it will take us.
The pain of here and now is way more REAL than the circumstances of even a lifetime away in which we won't even exist.

- Page 1 BenQ CP120 Wireless Projector Review
- Page 2 BenQ CP120 Wireless Projector Review
- Page 3 Feature Table Review
On top of all that, the CP120 boasts a feature called quick cool. This lets you to switch it off, unplug it and pack it away at the end of your presentation all in around thirty seconds. This might not sound like much but most compact projectors need at least a two or three minute cool down period, during which you can't disconnect from the mains without doing damage to the bulb. If your small-talk skills aren't up to scratch it could help you to avoid a few uncomfortable silences at the end of meetings. In fact one of the only impractical features of the CP120 is the control panel. Though it looks rather fetching with its blue backlit buttons, they're fiddly and set far too close together.
Under the hood it's pretty much what you'd expect from a modern portable projector. Picture is generation is driven by Texas Instruments' ubiquitous DLP technology and a 132W user-replaceable lamp. What you get from this a native resolution of 1,024 x 768 and an impressive brightness rating of 1,500 ANSI lumens – 500 up on the Infocus LP120 and on a par with Dell's impressive 3400MP. Contrast is rated at 2000:1 – again an impressive figure – and all of this is coupled with optics from famed lens manufacturer, Carl Zeiss.
The result is a quality picture but not an exceptional one. Whether you connect a laptop to the CP120 via the D-sub input or a video source via the S-Video connection (component video connection is also available with a special VGA cable) the projected image is both consistently bright, and well-focussed across the screen. The contrast didn't seem quite as good as that produced by the Dell 3400MP however. Colours looked dull and a little washed out in comparison and video wasn't as crisp either, which is probably down to the CP120's lack of advanced de-interlacing and motion compensation image processing.
That said you could quite happily use this projector as a presentation workhorse during the day and a movie projector during the evening. Overall it's still a better performer than the InFocus LP120, and the five-segment colour wheel keeps the rainbow effect at bay remarkably effectively too.
I am yet to be convinced that wireless projection is anything more than a tickbox feature. It seems a lot of hassle just for the sake of not carrying a VGA cable around, but at least the BenQ doesn't charge a King's ransom for the privilege – £1,048 is about average for a portable projector of this specification.
In other areas, however, the CP120 is a very clever piece of kit. It can't quite match the best portable projector around in terms of picture quality (Dell's 3400MP). It's not as portable as the InFocus LP120. But it has been designed with business travellers in mind and those thoughtful touches – such as the real-time automatic keystone adjustment and quick cooling – may well be enough to persuade them to opt for a CP120 instead.

We have many satisfied customers in Dingmans Ferry. It is an unincorporated community in Delaware Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania.

Dingmans Ferry PA Facts
Dingmans Ferry was originally right on the Delaware River in an area that's now included in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area but the Army Corps of Engineers acquired the land in the mid-20th century for the creation of the Tock Island dam project and that is why Dingmans ferry is now further up the hill and away from the river.
An interesting fact about this is that the Dingmans Ferry Bridge in Dingmans Ferry is one of the few remaining privately owned toll bridges in America. It will cost you the same as traveling over the Milford bridge which costs one dollar.
This is a beautiful area with several communities within such as Birchwood Lakes, Pocono Mountain Water Forest, Hemlock Farms, Hideout Property Association, Marcel Lakes Estates, and Wild Acres Homeowners Association. It is a small town and as of 2014 and only has about 7500 people living there. If you're looking for privacy, being able to commune with nature, enjoy hiking, swimming, hunting, fishing and camping this is certainly a great place to live

Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs B from Bristol
Just magical
On this trip, I visited Tanzania between 24-Jan-2009 and 1-Feb-2009 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We had such a great time, this was our first experience of Africa, and we now know what the fuss is about.
The people, the climate and the landscape made our time there magical and one day we will go back.
Suggestions for improvement:
We suggest that guests book a day room at The Slipway at Dar on arrival and prior to transfer to Mafia.
We wished we had done this as when we arrived the shops etc were shut at first (it was early on a Sunday morning) and we were exhausted and needed a bed & a shower!
I stayed at and have reviewed:

Undocumented Activists Deplore Obama's Decision to Delay Deportation Relief
President Barack Obama's decision to delay administrative relief for immigrants facing deportation until August demonstrates that the President continues to be willing to separate families and persecute immigrant communities for short-term political gain. The Obama administration has already deported more than 2 million immigrants since 2008 and is projected to deport at least 97,000 more immigrants before the White House acts.
"Families like mine cannot wait for relief. My father could be deported in the next few months and the President continues to play political games with our lives. We will hold the President and other politicians accountable for the harm they have inflicted on our communities. We will continue to take action to demand that the President provide immediate relief from deportations," explains Gabriela Benitez, an organizer with the Immigrant Youth Justice League whose father Daniel Marquez is currently in deportation proceedings.
The President's announcement is an attempt to shift attention away from his own cruel deportation policies that have been challenged by immigrant rights groups, including the Immigrant Youth Justice League, Undocumented Illinois and other members of the national Not1More campaign. The prospects of any comprehensive immigration legislation passing in the House this Congress are extremely unlikely. More importanly,we know that any proposed legislation will ultimately provide more harm our immigrant communities than any relief. Organizations that have provided political cover for the President's political maneuver by asking him to delay relief have demonstrated their lack of commitment to immigrant communities and their willingness to use the suffering of these communities for their own gain. Our communities cannot wait until August. President Obama needs to act now and stop deportations.
Media inquiries: Sean McClellan, Immigrant Youth Justice League, email@example.com, 630.338.2169
For interviews, please contact Gabriela Benitez at 901.690.5786 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Immigrant Youth Justice League (IYJL) is a Chicago-based organization led by undocumented organizers working towards full recognition of the rights and contributions of all immigrants through education, leadership development, policy advocacy, resource gathering, and mobilization.

"IF YOU don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; but if you read it, you are misinformed" — American writer Samuel Langhorne Clemens aka Mark Twain (1835 — 1910).
In this era of Twitter and other social media platforms, many give little interest to articles in newspapers. This is because social media platforms take up huge margin of people's interests, especially since news are published on these platforms within a second if not a minute. After few minutes of its emergence, it is followed by scores of analysis and comments over a single piece of news and even live photos from the incident. No doubt, this represents a huge development.
Sometimes, instead of writing an article of more than 400 words, you only need 140 words (number of characters in Twitter). At times, such "tweet" provides enough information that would render readers not to refer to a newspaper article in this regard. Such a development falls under the concept of "Using least number of words with the most clarity is the best form of expression".
Columnists cover many events and each of these events need a comment of not more than a sentence that contains description and high-sense analysis. This is usually sufficient enough if articulated properly, even though concise words might fail to convey the experience of an event as a whole, and the writer of concise analysis or even report needs to master the tools of writing.
Without proper tools of writing, a columnist will face difficulties in writing articles that can convey the idea in a reasonable manner.
Because of this, many have read or listened to a poem that consists more than twenty verses; however, only one verse or a stanza from it becomes famous. That is the undisputed reality.
The quote at the beginning of this article focuses on the so-called "press credibility". I believe such credibility applies also on the social media platforms including Twitter.
The principles that today apply on press and journalism also apply on many Twitter users who are involved in politics, human intellectual and academics. Credibility is the most important aspect of all aspects, most of all when it comes to writing either for a newspaper or on Twitter.
Nonetheless, it is important for readers to distinguish between a credible writer and a fake one in any given writing aspect. This is due to the fact that writing represents depicting with words what is in people's minds for the readers.

Reaction to Michael Jackson's death is naturally dominating the newspapers today (June 29).
There are various claims, rumours, gossip and stories about the singer, his death, his life and the aftermath filling the tabloids. Here is a round-up of what is being said about Jackson.
Singer's doctor denies prescribing painkillers as family call for investigation
The singer's family are demanding a detailed account of the singer's death from his doctor Conrad Murray – however, the physician has denied that he administered a painkilling injection an hour before Jackson died or that he prescribed him the drugs Demerol or OxyContin. His lawyer said the claims were "absolutely false" and that the doctor had tried to revive the singer with CPR. The family are concerned, however, that Dr Murray apparently went "missing" after the death, did not sign the death certificate, and, when he finally emerged, he did so through legal representation.

"The relative said 'Grace, you remember Michael used to hide cash at the house? I'm here. Where can it be?'," the nanny is quoted as saying. "I told them to look in the garbage bags and under the carpets. But can you believe that?"
Daily Mirror
Jackson's children
Jackson's eldest son Prince apparently watched his father die in a "trance-like" state. "Prince was stunned – in a trance – just watching. There was no movement, just looking around and not really processing what was really happening," claims Jackson's biographer Stacy Brown.

Max Landis Has a 'Wonder Woman' Pitch in the Works
Max Landis may not be writing the second Chronicle movie, but that doesn't mean he has lost his taste for superhero movies. In fact, he'd like to tackle one of the most controversial comic characters of all: Wonder Woman -- as long as it's not the current incarnation of the character.
Landis has been answering questions on Reddit on, as he put it, "writing, directing, the business, my YouTube stuff, comics, movies, relationship advice, my dad, my genius mom, my cat, Chronicle 2, WHATEVER." Among those questions was one about what superhero movie he would write, given the opportunity. His answer: "Either a version of Green Lantern that played like ET meets Stand By Me using the goth/punk [scene] and Kyle Rayner, or Wonder Woman using a pitch that I intend to make to WB."
Heat Vision breakdown
RELATED: Max Landis Reveals What He'd Originally Planned for 'Chronicle 2'
Of course, were a Wonder Woman project to go ahead, Landis may have to curb his ire toward the current state of DC Comics. Asked what he would erase from comics if he could, he answered, "The New 52" (DC's reboot of continuity from September 2011). When asked about any future comics plans from the publisher -- he wrote a story that appeared in last year's Action Comics Annual, his answer was, "I dunno, man. I was working on something with [comic artist] Jock, but … I dunno. DC is … DC."
So much for those rumors that Landis would co-write a weekly Superman comic for the publisher starting next March.

A coordinator for the Army's sexual assault prevention program in Fort Hood has been accused of "abusive sexual contact, sexual assault, and pandering," according to USA Today.
The Pentagon said in a statement that the Army was investigating allegations of abusive sexual contact and assault against the sergeant, who had served as a coordinator for an anti-sexual-harassment program, according to Bloomberg's Michael Shepard.
The sergeant first class, who was not named, was also accused of forcing at least one subordinate into prostitution, according to USA Today.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel learned about the allegations earlier today and ordered a full review of the matter, according to Bloomberg. The sergeant has been removed from duty, reports the AP.
Earlier this month, the Air Force's top officer in charge of preventing sexual assault was arrested under suspicion of sexual battery. The officer, Lt. Col. Jeff Krusinski, was allegedly inebriated and groped a woman in a parking lot, who managed to fight him off.

While many people hanker after a cottage in the country, for others there is only one place to live - in the city.
They much prefer the buzz of an address in town to roses round the door.
Urban living saves them the time, hassle and expense of commuting.
And away from work shopping, sports and leisure amenities, restaurants, bars, cinemas and theatres are all on the doorstep.
Over recent years housebuilders Barratt have created thousands of new homes in the towns and cities throughout the North to meet increasing demand from buyers.
"The regeneration of urban areas with new housing and mixed use developments has changed the appearance and enhanced the appeal of scores of towns and cities," said Steven Boyes, Barratt northern regional chairman.
"Many buyers don't want to drive miles to work or be held up in traffic crawling along at a snail's pace.
"Instead they are looking for well-built and well-located apartments or houses close to where they work and we are helping to meet that demand.
"At Barratt we have successfully recycled scores of sites in line with the main thrust of the Government's housing policy towards urban redevelopment," he said.
Barratt are building on more than 40 developments throughout the North, providing a wide range of new homes from one bedroom apartments to five bedroom houses at prices from under £60,000 up to £400,000.
For further information call the Barratt Hot Line on 0845 60 80 100.
