I just want to say, remember everyone is different. Yes they feel like period pain, and yes braxton hicks are very similar. A lot of people say you will know the difference- NOT TRUE. I didnt know i was in labour because everyone kept saying to me, when it happens it'll be so painful and you'll know the difference between the braxton hicks and the real thing. Well i really didnt think it was that painful, i even told my hubby not to worry about coming home from work. He eventually came home when my mum convinced me to go to the hospital. I was in labour and only at the hospital for 90mins before my little girl was born. Best of luck with your upcoming arrival :)

Like the worst cramps you've ever had, times ten -- or a hundred. I can't remember clearly anymore!

contractions feel like a gas pain but 20x more painful you will get a lot of pressure in your lower back and you will not be able to get comfortable thats when you know
Amy - posted on 02/12/2010
If you can remember the worst menstrual cramps you have ever had just times that by at least 50. It is one of those things that if you prepare you will be ready for and can handle it with certain breathing exercises, etc. Do tons of research before you go into labor and come up with a birth plan. Make sure you know what you want to experience during labor is put in writing and given to your doctor otherwise standard procedure is implemented and you cannot make great decisions when in hard labor. Make sure to have a great birth coach (husband, friend, or doula) with you during labor to help you through. Keep in mind, if you have a high tolerance for pain then you will do fine without anything. If your tolerance is relatively low then research all of the available pain drugs and their risks so that you are prepared. You may be surprised what your body can handle. Good Luck and Congratulations!
Note: A lot of walking in your last 2 months can help shorten labor and practicing kegel exercise helps for during and after.

Well it depends on who you ask and you'll get all kinds of different answers. The main thing to remember is everyone is different. I can honestly say for me I kept in mind what I was going to end up with and that helped. It was the worst pain andit hurts very bad but I did it again so it must be worth it! Take a whole bunch of extremly bad pains.... gas..cramps..backache.. leg aches your rearend hurts from pushing and then multiply your worst pain by about 100 x and you might be there. I don't know about anyone else but the second one was easier and came a lot quicker! My husband amost missed her being born! Ask about the episiotomy. (not sure how it's spelled) but you definitly don't want to tear I've heard horror stories about tearing you definitly want cut I swear you don't even feel it!! (When they cut you) You'll come to love a sitz bath afterward as well.Good luck!!!! Enjoy the ride some only do it once or twice and it may feel like you're pregnant forever but its over too soon. I would give anything to be pregnant again!! I loved it!! Both times!!! Oh and definitly get the epidural if you can it's Heavenly!!! You should breeze through a lot of the contrations!! And don't worry if you get black and blue down there....from all that pushing they say it's normal oh and you'll prob get hemmroids from pushing real hard but it's nothing compared to labor! Good luck!!!

My pain was all in my lower back and butt hole LOL...it was bad, I wanted to die! It's actually becoming a blur now, it's almost nine months later and I can't even remember alot of that pain anymore...I love the epidural!!!
Heidi - posted on 02/15/2010
Mine actually started up high on one side, to me it felt like my lil guy was kicking me. I found out it was contractions when I went in to have him and they hooked me up to the monitor and asked if I've been having any contractions and I said not that I know of and the nurse said well you're having one right now. lol Then it gradually moved down and more to the middle of my tummy, kind of in an L shape. Once they REALLY get going it does feel like a really bad period cramp. Don't be afraid to get the epidural. I wish I would have gotten it sooner, the main reason I waited so long was my Dr said that it slows things down, but I think she was wrong, once I finally got the epidural my lil guy was born about 2 1/2 hours later, I had gone about 8 hours before that with just the meds they can put in your IV.

What they all said and your stomach gets tight...it feels hard when you touch it.
Ceri - posted on 02/14/2010
My contractions came on very quickly. All of my pain was in my lower back, so at the time I didn't associate the pain with labour. After 2 hrs I went to the hospital to have a check up and was told my baby was well on his way. 45 minutes later my baby was born!

Christy - posted on 02/13/2010
I wondered the same thing but you will definitely know when they are labor pains.
They feel like menstrual cramps and will get stronger as you progress they were very uncomfortable but nothing you can't handle it really helps to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. But the epidural is your best friend I didn't feel a thing pushing or anything.

really HARD period cramps. you stomach will tighten up really hard almost like a basketball that hasnt lost any air at all.
Sandra - posted on 02/13/2010
hiya....first of all relax...its not going to be as bad as you think.... i was induced and it started off as a mild period cramp and eventually it got stronger and more requent (i tring to exactly think) and like very bad wind at the same time....but dont worry as soon as u get the epideral..the pain is gone!!!!!!.and if they dont give it straight away ask for the gas its brilliant ..u still feel the pain but dont give a shite lol... good luck;)
Karen - posted on 02/12/2010
it is different for everyone, but there is two things we as women can all agree on...it starts out feeling like menstral cramp dull than more intense, and later/some females sooner it really hurts. There are the back contractions, which I was lucky not to experience a lot of and the frontal experience. The frontal contractions feels like someone who has a big hand (now make it into a fist) and now if that isnt bad enought that fist is going to be turning in circles. Please dont put all your focus on the contractions that your going to have, just think try to think positive things.
In my case it hurts a lot when I experienced it but now thinking back it really wasnt that bad. Just ask all the mom's who now have more than one child.
Megan - posted on 02/12/2010
It's different for every woman. Most people here, like me, had really bad menstral like cramps that were just almost to much to bear. However my sister's contractions feel like a wave. It starts up high and it feels like your entire stomach is dropping almost, it's pushing down, and everything gets really tight. If you're worried call your dr! That's what they're there for. Trust me, they won't make you feel stupid for calling, better be safe than sorry!
Stephanie - posted on 02/12/2010
Really bad cramps!
Theresa - posted on 02/12/2010
Menstral cramps, times 10, then times 50, and at the end times 100! But at least you get something to show for it. When they put that tiny baby in your arms it's worth every times 100 cramp you had. :)
Amanda - posted on 02/12/2010
Like really bad cramps. Then get stronger and stromger with each one.
Jessica - posted on 02/12/2010
like a strong stomach cramp that starts small, peaks, and goes away. But it will keep coming back and get more and more painful. Sorry to say but I compare it to stomach pains when one has an upset tummy - like diarrhea - only worse! You might not know right away you are in labor, but as time goes on and they keep coming - you will figure it out!

Well my contractions started right at my lower back right at the spine came around each side and ended in the middle.

For me it felt like really bad cramps b ut twenty times worse. And if you have really bad gas and have to go diearia that is how bad it is or was for me. But, in time it did get stronger and a lot harder. Epideral, Epideral.

It's different for every woman. For yourself if you have had period pains it is likely that's where you will feel your contractions. I have been through labour 4 times and each time was different. My first baby I felt the contractions in my lower back and across my stomach (mostly my stomach), with the next 3 babies the contractions were mostly my lower back and hips. The pain is like period pain only much more intense, increases in intensity and comes in waves that peak and then tail off, then gets longer and stronger next time. Honestly I felt like my body was being ripped apart sometimes. I have very quick labours though, I have been told and suspect it may be true that that makes it more intense. I go from 3cm to pushing out the baby in less than 2 hours, which makes for alot of hard work in a very short time.

you'll feel your stomach muscles and lower abdoman uscles tighten like a ball...(you tummy should feel pretty hard when this happens...and then they will release
Dawn - posted on 02/11/2010
They are different for every person, and every baby. I have had four, and they were different every time. My mom vomited every five minutes with my older sister, but had no pain. My first was very gentle... felt like I was doing crunches (she took two days to come). My boys were both like getting stuck in the middle of my 50th situp... but felt in my hips and back too... (they came in about 3 hours, start to finish). Best guideline, if you are uncertain... you have time. My midwife told me this: If they are the same whether walking, sitting, or laying down, if no change in activity slows them down, they are regular and less than 10 mins apart you are getting ready. She also said if you feel like you may be going into labor, try to sleep. Sounds silly, but if you are really going into labor, you will need the sleep and you will wake up in time to have the baby! :)
Meagan - posted on 02/11/2010
When I went in to be induced the nurse told me I was having contractions 15 minutes apart and I had no idea. They where not intense until after my water broke! But like the other replies have stated, Oh you will know! Especially when they get close!
Krystal - posted on 02/11/2010
my contractions were very mild at first just like period pains but once they poped my waters it HURT alot, i felt alot of pressure and pain in my bum to, which is normal. and i had some back pain to. when you have a contraction your whole stomach tightens (contracts) and then releases when the contraction goes. i only used gas and air for the last hour of my labour ( was in labour for 2 and half days) and i could still feel my contractions it just helped take the edge of it, i used mostly breathing and it helped me concentrate on what i was doin. i had a really good first time experience and my labour and birth wasnt actually that bad and i would do it all over again. my braxton hicks were nearly as painful as my real contractions, baby was turning and movin into my pelvis and they lasted for a week, me being 18 when i was pregnant i thought i wouldnt know if i was or not, but once i lost my plug i knew i was gonna get contractions soon and about 2 hours later i got my contractions, they can be irregular at first to but they will get regular and more painful. Other signs are also loosing the pluggy mucus or having a show or your waters breaking. some women go through these first before even havin contractions, i lost my plug of mucus first then i had my contractions then the rest followed. Amy Kruse is right even though it hurts so bad, it does feel good to push, and it is such a massive relief to have baby out the only bit that hurt for me while i was pushin was when the head was crownin it feels like a burning/stingin sensation. once you hold that beautiful baby in ur arms you forget all the pain youv just gone through. well thats how i felt anyway. let your body tell you what to do and youll be fine. let the pain go and keep yourself calm, if you fight the pain it will make it alot worse. hope everthing goes well for you and you baby. good luck and best wishes :)
Geraldine - posted on 02/11/2010
My contractions started off as like a mild period pain and as they got closer, the pain became far more intense in my lower abs and lower back.
As everyone else has said, when you have the contraction, you will know you are having a contraction!
Amy - posted on 02/11/2010
REALLY killer period cramps that will actually stop you in your tracks if you're trying to walk. i'm gonna go opposite of the epidural suggestion. i got it, my back KILLS all the time now and it didn't even take. I did it with basically no meds since it didn't take. It was not that bad. as soon as you start to think, omg i'm gonna die, this hurts so much, you're pushing, and it helps to FEEL the contractions to get kiddo out faster. plus it feels so good to push. huge relief.
Joanne - posted on 02/11/2010
mine just felt like period pains until they were about 5minutes apart, then they got more & more intense. As my baby was back to back with me (which the midwife so nicely told me is 'back labour') I had pain all up my back & through my sholder blades & down my legs which was AWFUL!!!! I managed 29hrs of active labour without pain relief then gave in & had epidural - which was a god send! I recommended it to my friend & she also found it amazing, as she said "no one gives you a medal for doing it without pain relief" lol
Angelique - posted on 02/11/2010
Braxton Hicks feel like subdued period pains that come and go and may last days or months but are not regular or do not become more intense and closer together. This is a common thing during pregnancy so do not worry too much. Real labour/contractions are very severe pains that resemble period cramps just much more intense and they can radiate to your back and legs and these become more intense especially after your water has broken and adapt a pattern such as 5 minutes apart....then maybe 3 minutes apart....get to the hospital....soon!!!
Stephanie - posted on 02/10/2010
they feel like if someone had their hands inside your stomach and just started twisting your insides from your stomach to your back..and yes when it gets closer to time to have baby it feels like you have to go #2 really bad! my first child was all natural because the ep didnt take, my second child i stood the contractions as long as i could then when i got the ep it was like a piece of cake! we were watching tv and conversating with my doc and hospital staff in between pushing! lol!
Jane - posted on 02/10/2010
go for the epidural as early as possible.
Brenda - posted on 02/10/2010
From my experience, I can say it hurts like nothing you have ever felt before but it probably isn't going to be as bad as your fearing it will. My water broke at 5am with no sing of contractions and I was told when I got to the hospital to get ready for a long wait. By 11:30 I was getting uncomfortable and when noon hit and I was moaning in pain I thought I was a wimp and that things were going to get real bad soon. Turns out I was fully dialated and ready to start moving baby down. She was born at 1:57pm. None of it mattered anyway. As soon as I saw her all was forgiven and I would have done it all over again. Have faith in your body, it knows what to do. Good luck!

My little girl was what they call "sunny side up" (facing the wrong way), so I had horrible back pain. But to tell you the truth, I have been in worse pain in my life. I do have a high pain tolerance though, and i didn't need an epidural. Every one told me that i "would know" when i was really in labor, and i thought they were retarded.... but they were right. After about 15 minutes of real contractions, I just knew that it was time....it was weird. Just keep in mind that it really is different to every one...goodluck to you!!!

they do feel like everyone said very similar to period cramp but alot more painful just remember to breath through them or they hurt so much worse trust me!
Jenna - posted on 02/09/2010
yes braxton hicks are in the same place and not as strong as contractions. Sounds like your having braxton hicks! I have high tolerance for pain so contractions for me are like bad period cramps. Contractions start on the sides of your stomach and work there way to the middle and can be in your back too.
Krista - posted on 02/09/2010
so is it just your lower stomach like period cramps, or you're whole stomach? cuz yesterday i had cramps in my whole stomach and it was hard, didnt last very long n then went away. so i think that was braxton hicks.. are they the same place as contractions and just not as painful?
Tamara - posted on 02/09/2010
Contractions are the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. If you have to ask then you probably are not having them. That might be a braxton hick or false labor contraction. If you are experiencing pain so strong that you have crawled into a fetal position then that is definately a contraction.
Michelle - posted on 02/09/2010
They feel as if you've taken a whole container of laxatives...first they're mild and about 5 minutes apart, and then they come quicker, harder, and longer. Get the epideral!!
[deleted account]
My labor was induced which I have heard makes them worse. At first they felt like severe cramping that gradually became more intense. Then they started feeling like a sharp, stabbing pain and that's when I begged for the epideral.
[deleted account]
i was always saying "how will i know?" and everyone kept saying "you will know when it happens" and that wasnt good enough for me...i needed to know, because what IF i didnt know?
well i think they are different for everyone. I was screaming in pain with each contraction (and i have a very high pain tolerance, eg..a cadallac escalade ran over my foot and i went to work the same day) But i couldnt stand the pain from contractions..other women at the hospital seemed to be fine with them...we were all pacing the hospital corridors ...some were breathing through them, i was screaming through them.
To me it felt like a mix between 100x worse than period cramps, horrible gas pains and even reminded me of when i had gall bladder attacks...for 42 hours my contractions were coming strong...it also felt like A LOT of pressure on my pelvic bone area.
the pushing wasnt the hard part for me. it was the contractions...the pushing took me about an hour, with an episiotomy and help from a vacuum (poor girl got stuck in the birth canal)
when it is all over you will say "it was worth it" good luck
Natalie - posted on 02/09/2010
Have you every had bad stomach craps from your cycle?
Well, kinda like that just 100x stronger... well, it is different for every woman so it really depends on how your pain tolerance is... mine isn't too bad but my cousin has a very low one...
At the beginning it's not so bad but towards the end of labor it's very painful... then the urge to push was easy to me anyways. It didn't really hurt anymore but it was exhausting and it was just a really intense feeling
Angie - posted on 02/09/2010
Think of the worst stomach and gas pains you have ever had. That is about what they feel like and they come in waves. Anything lighter then that may be Braxton hicks.
[deleted account]
low cramps start out like period pain but progress... back pain involved... just remember you get to see your sweet babe when ur done!!
Renae - posted on 02/09/2010
You are smart to ask this question. I was having a planned c-section so I did not attend any birthing classes and knew nothing about contractions. I had read about braxton hicks and when I was having contractions 5 minutes apart, I thought they were braxton hicks because I expected real contractions to hurt more, I thought it would be like screaming pain not just screw your face up pain.
Ok I never had really full on contractions 30 seconds apart because as I said I had a c-section, but the 5 minute apart ones feel like really bad period pain. My lower back also really hurt like someone had kicked me in the back.

BRASILIA (Reuters) - Another embarrassing incident surfaced involving U.S. personnel and prostitution in Latin America on Tuesday, as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that Marines had been punished after allegedly injuring a prostitute in Brazil in December.
Panetta told reporters during a visit to Brasilia that the incident was fully investigated and the military personnel involved had been "severely punished," demoted and withdrawn from Brazil.
The incident follows a separate scandal earlier this month that saw Secret Service members implicated in a night of partying with prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia, shortly before President Barack Obama arrived for a summit there.
A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the incident in Brazil involved three Marine security guards assigned to the U.S. embassy in Brasilia and one embassy staffer.
O Globo, Brazil's biggest TV network, broadcast an interview with a woman who identified herself as the victim. She said the incident began when she, a few other women and a group of Americans were leaving a Brasilia nightclub, and then she began to argue with the men's driver.
She said that one of the Americans pushed her out of the car. She said she tried to hold onto the door, but then fell, hit her head on the ground and passed out.
"I felt my leg burning," the woman said. "I couldn't take it, I let go and I fell underneath the van. I hit my head and I passed out," she said.
One U.S. official had earlier said the woman had broken her collarbone but the defense official could not confirm the nature of her injuries or whether there had been an argument over money. No charges have been filed by Brazilian authorities, the official said.
In the Colombia episode, eight Secret Service employees have left their jobs after being implicated in a night of partying and carousing with prostitutes that overshadowed Obama's participation in the Summit of the Americas.
Twelve U.S. military personnel remain under investigation over that affair, in which the men are alleged to have taken as many as 21 prostitutes back to their beachfront hotel in Cartagena on the night of April 11-12.
The Secret Service is moving to permanently revoke the security clearance of another employee over the incident while three others have been cleared of serious misconduct.
"What these guys were thinking, I don't know. That's why they're not there anymore," Obama said on Tuesday.
After the Brazil incident, all three Marines involved were disciplined, two were demoted, and one was not allowed to re-enlist. The embassy staffer was removed from his post.
Panetta said such behavior was not acceptable.
"They were severely punished," Panetta said.
"I have no tolerance for that kind of conduct. Not here or anyplace in the world. And where it takes place, you can be assured that we will act to make sure that they are punished."

text: Since the Galaxy S4's launch, Samsung's been eager to make security one of the device's stronger selling points. Through its partnership with Absolute Software, makers of LoJack for Laptops, Samsung will soon embed a theft recovery system right into the the phone's firmware. LoJack for Android smartphones, launching exclusively on the Galaxy S4, joins SAFE for Knox in Samsung's quest to develop "the most comprehensive mobile security solution" on the market. While there are plenty of apps that can locate misplaced phones via GPS and wipe their contents, the hope of retrieving a stolen phone is slim to none. In addition to content-clearing software, LoJack will offer a service in which "recovery specialists" attempt to return lost phones to their owners. There's no guarantee that said recovery specialists will be able to successfully track down thieves and reclaim stolen devices, but it's nice to dream. Subscriptions for LoJack for Android will start at $29.99 a year, though there's no official word yet on a release date.

Strategy after Deterrence
Strategy after Deterrence
The year 1989 was one of profound political change in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe. Communist governments in Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary fell altogether or were forced into reluctant partnership with noncommunist opposition. The way for these developments in Eastern Europe was prepared in Moscow. Following the accession of Mikhail Gorbachev to the position of general secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR, the leadership of the Soviet Union embarked on a restructuring -- perestroika -- of its economy that had equally significant implications for political participation. Having argued that democratization was imperative in the citadel of world communism, the Soviet leadership could hardly reimpose the Brezhnev doctrine (Soviet military intervention to prevent the overthrow of existing communist regimes) on Eastern Europe. Quite the opposite was implied by the movement toward "reasonable sufficiency" and other manifestations of defensive military doctrine: The Politburo would no longer use the Red Army as a gendarmerie to bail out those rulers in Eastern Europe who were too incompetent to rule by consent or by coercion.
Obviously, U.S. and NATO strategy would be affected by all these developments. Most dramatically, the destruction of the Berlin Wall, which had stood since 1961 as a symbol of the division of Germany, now opened the door to a large political debate on the future of Germany: one or two? Military strategy in Washington, Brussels, and Moscow would, of necessity, be influenced strongly by the political upheavals taking place in Eastern Europe and in the Soviet Union from 1985 through 1989.

Because I've been asked to do so, today I have a comparison of Essence's nail polish 01 I'm The Moss from their current Guerilla Gardening LE to show you.
The closest color I could come up with is China Glaze - Starboard. It came out in Spring 2010 as a part of the Anchors Away Collection, and it is a medium grassy green creme.

Neil Simon's Plaza Suite
February 8th – 16th
Tickets on Sale Soon
Directed by Colleen Bishop, Charlotte Loeppky, Tanya Wolff
Produced by Lucie Britton
Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, "I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!"

January nail art challenge: Circles
Guess what? I'm late with challenge posts once again. This time I have them prepared so hopefully I will post each every day :) This one's theme was Circles. Very simple, blue and white mani.
I used China Glaze Snow, Maybelline Superpower Blue, Sinful Colors Athens and Maybelline Party Blue.

Maybelline BB Dream Fresh
I'm always on the watch for foundations / bb creams that can give me natural look with little bit of coverage. When I'm out running errands or just groceries shopping I don't want heavy makeup but I do want something to cover up my often tired face and pale skin. Something that can be good if I need a little help to look refreshed and something I can apply quickly. Most of the time I like to use my regular liquid foundation but I don't always have time to apply a lot of makeup and sometimes I prefer something subtle. With that being said I decided to try Maybelline BB Dream Fresh. I've been using it for a while and most of the time I don't like it very much. I don't hate it but honestly it is not a product I would repurchase. After I use it up I will move on and forget about it.
On the photo above ( click to enlarge ) you can see 8 benefits this BB cream should give you but to tell you the truth most of the time when I have BB Dream Fresh on my face I don't even see the difference with and without it. Not even that "my face but better " effect which is all I ask for. Mostly it looks like I applied moisturizer. The reason why I didn't put this product aside is that sometimes...I guess when I have a really bad day my face does look little bit better. On normal day it doesn't do anything, I have to mention that I don't have any major skin problems except dark dark circles under my eyes and pale skin. I have Light Skin tone which matches with my skin tone perfectly, too perfect I would say if I can't even see it on my face. This is definitely the first time that I have something like this, something with such small effect. You can look at the swatch bellow...if you can tell on the right side I blended the product...now you can see what I'm talking about.
Application is easy, you can blend the product without problem. Durability? Well I'm not sure what to say...if it doesn't make any difference on my face then it doesn't matter, right? The coverage is very light while the texture and smell are nice. It comes in a tube and it is easy to use it, there is 30 ml of product.
In the end all I can say is Next please!

January nail art challenge: Home Decor Inspired
The theme for today's challenge is Home Decor Inspired. I was inspired with zig zag pattern you can see everywhere these days...on carpets, pillows, curtains... I like the pattern but I also wanted to use my new stickers for the guide because I didn't tried them yet :) I used neutral colors because that is what you could see if you come to my house. I only wish my nails were longer and I could add another zig zag line.
I used: Golden Rose 330 and Essence The Only Chance!

January nail art challenge: Animals
For the first time ever I'm early with my challenge manicure. There is reason for that... I did this one before the turn, before Silver theme. I just painted my nails and afterwords decided that I want to start the challenge right away. Since I wanted to do silver & black combo I went with third theme: Animal. I had pink base on my nails and I took Essence image plate and stamped black cats, I also did accent saran nail. This is the first time I used this cat design and I like it, especially on my long nails...which are short once again right now.
I used Essence Santa Baby and Malena 2

January nail art challenge: Silver
I'm back with nail challenge. I skipped the first challenge which was nail vinyls because I dont have them. I was looking at them on ebay recently but I didn't order them. But they are something I want to try soon. Now I'm already on 2nd theme which is Silver. I was inspired with Mickey Mouse, probably because my daughter loooves Micky and Minnie. I like the way it turned out and it is easiest mani to do. I applied silver base and added different size dots for Mickey and just random dots on my other nails.
I used Malena 2 and Essence Stamp Me! Silver
Here is the rest of the challenge and a link where you can find it.

The hyperbole about Buddy Rich can get pretty deep. He's commonly referred to as the best drummer ever. This is much like granting Sinatra King of Crooners status - for many this brash supremism is based on a standard of style and sensibility we don't find so pretty. It's like saying the steamroller is the greatest wheeled vehicle of all time. That's true maybe, if what you value most is the ability to flatten things. Buddy Rich was a steamroller and is reputed to have rolled over more than a couple of his bandmembers, but that's neither here nor there. If you're looking for a visual document of this locomotive of a drummer in his late prime, The Lost Tapes should do you nicely.
The film is taken from a single set at a single gig in 1985, late in Rich's career, when he was touring but not recording. Rich and band start with a bang, cranking through two up-tempo numbers, then delivering a less than sedate handling of "'Round Midnight . This was the second set and Rich sometimes looks just slightly winded in the short breaks between the first tunes. Later he seems to have gotten a second wind and is seen in close-up doing a silly dance on his stool. Once the tunes are launched, he never flags and his bombastic, propulsive abilities are in fine fettle. The band is probably filled with first rate jazz soloists, but the lion's share of solo time goes to the lions: Rich and his right hand man, tenorist Steve Marcus. These two show how unhesitant, straight ahead blowing, calculated for maximum wows, ought to be done.
Among the DVD's extras are commentary from the man himself, members of his family and others, including drummer Dave Weckl. There are also solo highlights, one of which could be used as exhibit A for the "greatest drummer legal team.
Personnel: Buddy Rich: drums, leader; Steve Marcus: tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone; Mark Pinto, Bob Bowlby: alto saxophone; Brian Sjoerdinga: tenor saxophone, flute; Jay Craig: baritone saxophone; Scott Bliege, Mike Davis: trombone; James Martin: bass trombone; Paul Phillips, Eric Miyashiro, Michael Lewis, Joe Kaminski: trumpet; Bill Cunliffe: piano; Dave Carpenter: electric bass.
Tracks: Mexicali Nose; Willowcrest; 'Round Midnight; Cotton Tail; New Blues; Tee Bag; The Red Snapper; West Side Story (Overture and Medley).
Program Notes: Directed by Scott Ross; Approximate running time 115 minutes.

Complaint, Human rights,
Have you found that, quite often, when you try to do something, you find yourself in a state of inconvenience and you don't know what to do? When this happens, do you sit back and accept it or, do you take action and fight against it?
Well father of seven, Chris Fawcett, decided to fight back because he was tired of his local roads being used as shortcuts. He took matters into his own hands after motorists who have no association with his village, began using the roads in Wiltshire as a short cut to ancient attractions. This caused the traffic on the roads to become hazardous to the safety of locals.
In 2014, he built a dummy speed camera, made of wood to stop drivers hurtling through the village, but a mystery vandal burnt it down. He then built another one, but had to take it down, after Wiltshire council threatened him with legal action.
He stated that he 'could not understand why his homemade camera bothered Wiltshire Council, adding that if someone is doing good surely, it should be praised and not put down'. However, he mentioned that he was 'not concerned about being praised but that something needs to be done'.
For the third time, Mr Fawcett built another camera but, this time, a much stronger one, which was made from a steel cabinet and painted yellow. He said, once again, the council asked him to take it down but he refused to do so. And hoped that the camera would put pressure on the authorities to do something about the speeding threat.
Have you been put at an inconvenience? Are you the kind of person who chooses to stand up for what you believe in? In any case, come and receive the strength that you need to stand up for what has been a hindrance in your life, by engaging in our weekly Chain Of Prayer.

How It All Started
Joe Paiano is renowned for creating premium cabinetry, and has humble beginnings working out of his father Rocco's garage. Joe's reputation as a quality cabinetmaker spread and soon led to a business that has gone from strength to strength.
First trading in 1984 as Bulli Custom Cabinets, Joe and Bev Paiano created the foundations for a great kitchen design business. Our first showroom was located on the Princes Highway in Bulli right next to Bev's parent's business, "Hammer & Chisel Hardware". It's been a family business right from the start. Our hardworking parents instilled a strong work ethic in both of us, which is evident in everything that we do.
Before long, we realised we needed larger premises to keep up with the needs of our customers. This sparked the move to Corrimal in 2001 and later, in 2003, we started trading as Paiano Custom Kitchens to better reflect what we are all about - designing and manufacturing premium-grade custom kitchens. We've now been in operation for more than 30 years.
Why Are We So Unique?
A great business requires great staff. At Paiano Custom Kitchens we work together to make the new kitchen process as easy as possible. This helps every aspect of our business. Our friendly, welcoming attitude is infectious, which makes work an extension of our family experience.

Stress is a normal part of life for any animal. For example, hunger is a form of stress that reminds us to eat, fear is a stress-related emotion that helps us avoid potentially harmful sitautions. However, when we put our dogs in stressful situations that they cannot escape, problems can occur.
Few dog owners recognize the most common signs of stress and anxiety in their dogs before it is too late. Learning to recognize these common signals can help you prevent serious problems.
NOTE: Context is important! Your dog may yawn when they first wake up, shake off after a bath, or pant on a hot day. But if your dog is in a new or difficult environment and you see these behaviors together, either as a group or in a sequence, and they happen repeatedly, they are very likely an indication that your dog is experiencing stress or anxiety.
This type of licking looks very different than when you feed your dog a spoonful of peanut butter and, like all of the signs, are usually accompanied or followed by other signs of stress listed below.
This usually happens repeatedly in stressful situations, and is done with more intensity than a "sleepy" yawn.
Sparky really doesn't like the camera and will often look away, close his eyes and yawn whenever the lens was pointed in his direction.
Yes, dogs pant. But if it is a cool day and your dog has not been engaging in much physical activity and is panting as if she just ran a few miles, this is likely a sign of stress.
In this image, the dog is uncomfortable with my camera. It is a cool, November day (Thanksgiving) and we had not yet taken the dogs out to run. You will also notice the tension in her mouth and around her eyes and her ears are pinned back and low.
When a dog showing signs of stress suddenly stops panting and closes their mouth, that's a warning! Dogs often close their mouths shortly before they escalate to a snap or bite.
Dogs' ears vary greatly by breed. Some stand up, some hang low and some are artificially altered to achieve a specific look. But no matter what type of ears your dog has, if they pin their ears back against their head, it could be a sign of stress.
Deveron wasn't enjoying posing for the camera and pinned his ears back to show his discomfort.
In contrast, Arrow LOVED the attention of the camera and although his ears are pinned back, you see that his eyes and mouth are open and relaxed.
The difference in the expression of the two dogs makes it easier to see which is stress-related and which one is not. Context is everything!
Avoidance can look like many things. Common types of avoidance include:
Basically, if your dog is in any way avoiding interacting with people or other dogs, he is showing you he is uncomfortable. Avoidance is always a better choice than aggression. If your dog is avoiding interaction with anyone, human or canine, respect that choice. Don't force your dog to interact if they don't want to.
Adam, a newly-rescued dog, avoids a hand reaching out to pet his head.
This Doberman was not enjoying the attention of these two German Shepherds and is trying to avoid interacting with them. In addition to the lowered head and body, notice the pinned back ears.
Here, Sparky turns away from the camera (in addition to licking his nose).
Avoidance means the dog wishes to discontinue the interaction. They are letting you know in the most polite way possible that they want you to stop what you are doing.
Dogs will shake their bodies for a variety of reasons, when they are wet or when they first wake up from a nap. But stress-related shaking off almost always follows something the dog finds unpleasant. For example, many dogs shake off right after a veterinary exam.
This is easier to see in some breeds of dogs, than others, obviously. It won't be as easy to spot in a dog that has a docked tail, for example.
Many people are familiar with the idea that a "tail between the legs" is a sign of fear. But sometimes the tail gives less obvious signals.
Here, the base of this dog's tail is mid-range, probably the normal position for this dog.
As other dogs approach, however, the base of the tail drops. Also notice her ears and the tension around her mouth.
These signs don't necessarily come across in photos, but are also common signs of stress.
This Rottweiler looks tense, and her ears are pinned back. She has a lot of tension around her eyes and mouth, as well.
Closed mouth, pinned ears and looking away.
This Border Collie's ears are forward, indicating it is alert to something in the environment, but the tail is low, the mouth is closed and tense and the dog is leaning backward.
The dog is leaning backward, ears are pinned back and tail is low. Add the dog's inability to get away because it is chained, and this is a recipe for a bite!
This dog shows signs of extreme tension around the eyes and mouth. Her mouth is closed, her ears are back and her pupils are very dilated.
Not all dogs will exhibit all of these signs. The better you get at recognizing your dog's signs, the better you can help him avoid situations that could cause serious problems, while working with a qualified trainer to learn how to help your dog form better associations in stressful environments.
These books and DVD's are some of the best available on learning body language in dogs.
What is your dog saying to you and to other dogs? How can you tell when play turns to aggression? How do dogs show friendliness, fear, or stress? This educational video features a presentation and extensive footage of a variety of breeds showing hundreds of examples of canine behavior and body language. Behaviorist Sarah Kalnajs teaches you how to read these signals so that you can develop a better understanding of what's really going on in the canine world. Perfect for dog owners or anyone who handles dogs or encounters them regularly while on the job. A 4Paws favorite and required viewing for our staff!
Norwegian dog trainer and behaviorist Turid Rugaas is a noted expert on canine body language, notably "calming signals," which are signals dogs use to avoid conflict, invite play, and communicate a wide range of information to other dogs and people. These are the dogs' attempt to defuse situations that otherwise might result in fights or aggression.

A Captain Renault post: Today I am posting another of those entertaining, interesting, and well researched missives that an unknown author has been sending to members of the Democratic caucus for months. Whoever the author is, he/she sure does his/her homework and always makes some compelling points backed up by facts and cited newspaper articles.
Read the entire epistle here. It is enlightening and on target.
Corbett has bungled the Bonusgate investigation so bad he now has to beg a judge to make the Republicans comply with subpoenas. What a disgrace. Corbett spent all of his time investigating the House Democrats, indicted Democrats before the election, and now has been walking backwards rapidly on whether or not he will charge Republicans.
In the meantime, the House Republicans took the cue from Corbett and destroyed all of the hard drives before Corbett could politely and belatedly ask for them. Corbett has reaped what he sowed.
In an even more amazing and hypocritical example of Corbett's best use of his double standard two-step, Corbett has yet to even lay a glove on the Senate Republicans. this is despite the fact that the Senate Rs had issued some of the largest bonuses to staff who were widely known to be very politically active.

Chief information officers today have easier jobs than ever before. Thanks to the recent boom in technical solutions that add to office efficiency, companies are now running their operations smoothly and effectively. The old days of paper jams and locked-up computers are mostly over – nowadays, technology works better and runs faster, enabling people to get their work done with ease.
Then again, technological innovation is a double-edged sword. More invention may make CIOs' jobs easier, but it makes them harder as well. There are so many new technologies out there that it becomes difficult for an IT department to understand them all – and just when you think you've got everything figured out, more innovation comes along to change everything.
Being a CIO nowadays is a demanding position, as learning new technology is a relentless pursuit. Companies are always being forced to adapt. Here's a look at the top three IT trends that have changed the game.
The cloud
Now that companies are able to store their data online in the cloud rather than using in-house servers, they're able to stockpile more information and share it with ease. According to Information Management, the cloud has risen to prominence over the last five years. Mark Smith, CEO of Ventana Research, writes that times have changed dramatically.
"Our latest research into technology innovations for business found a significant shift toward the use of on-demand and cloud computing approaches," Smith wrote. "No more than five years ago, the preferred approach was to have IT buy and install all technology. Times have changed, and business is now using what it needs to be more productive and drive the most effective results."
Smith found a variety of reasons why businesses have made the move to the cloud – 40 percent say it's helped them lower costs, 39 percent cite improved efficiency and 34 percent said it's made applications and information more available.
The mobile revolution
Now that workers have all this information stored online, the next thing they need is a convenient way to access it all. That's where mobile devices come in. Companies are working rapidly not only to use more tablets and smartphones, but also to design more personalized apps that will help their employees work more efficiently.
Jeff Findlay, a mobile architect at Borland, told IT Wire that he predicts a 50 percent increase in the number of business apps accessible on mobile devices in the next three years. With this growth comes a need for more skilled engineers to design apps.
"Mobile apps play a critical role in every organization's business strategy today," Findlay said. "But the consumer in all of us is demanding more, and companies are under increasing pressure to release higher quality mobile apps faster and more often than ever before."
Big data
The third area of rapid expansion in IT is big data. Now that companies have so much capacity to store information, they're collecting truckloads of it, looking to process it all and make more sense of the world around them. Economic data, financial data about competing businesses, demographic data about their customers – it's all fair game.
The amount of data out there is growing so quickly, companies aren't even sure what to do with it all. They literally don't have the manpower to keep up. According to an estimate from McKinsey and Company, there's a major shortage of big data analysts on the horizon – the United States will have a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 workers with analytical skills, plus 1.5 million managers.
IT is moving so quickly that even the head honchos aren't sure how to keep it under control. CIOs have their work cut out for them in the years ahead.

We hope we have made your stay as comfortable as possible. Our aim is to get you home as soon as you are well enough. If you need further treatment this can be done in the comfort of your own home or a community hospital; this then helps us to free up beds for the most seriously ill patients.
Community hospitals often act as a bridge between hospital and home, particularly for elderly patients who may need rehabilitation to help them regain their independence as they recover from an illness.
The number of inpatient beds each community hospital provides varies, as does the range of services they offer.
Many community hospitals also provide day services, outpatient clinics, and therapy services. Some also provide Minor Injury Units.
There are a number of community hospitals in Oxfordshire :
Community hospitals - Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust
The Home Assessment Reablement Team (HART) provides a short period of care and support to patients as they regain their independence.
Home Assessment Reablement Team (HART)
If you had a care package paid for by your local council before coming into hospital, please bring all carer or care package details, including contact name and number.
If you need further care once you leave hospital, a social worker will determine how much help you will receive to pay for your personal care.
Depending on your financial situation, you may have to contribute to the cost of your care. Your social worker will ask you to complete a financial assessment form. You have seven working days to do this – ask your social worker if you need help to fill it in.
Sometimes living at home is no longer a practical option. We will work with you to decide the best course of action and transfer you to a community hospital bed so that you are able to reach your full potential. From there a team of nurses, social workers and therapists will discuss your future needs.
Self Directed Support (SDS) is the process by which a person has choice and control over the support that they need in order to go about their daily lives. It is about arranging care to suit a person's individual preferences, such as staying in their own home. It allows greater flexibility and creativity to meet individual needs.
If you have Self Directed Support in place, you are responsible for re-starting the care, and a referral to social services is not required. If an increase is required it may be that there is enough in your budget to arrange extra support for a short period. If this is the case, you and the ward staff will discuss options for your care with the hospital social work team.
Continuing Healthcare is a scheme which provides NHS-funded care, for people with complex and unpredictable needs. Depending on your situation and the level of care required, this can be provided at home, in a nursing home or in a NHS-funded bed.
There is specific national guidance on who qualifies for Continuing Healthcare. The ward team caring for you will complete an assessment if they think you might qualify. For more information about Continuing Healthcare, please ask for the information leaflet 'NHS continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care' or download it from the Department of Health website.
We will expect you to be fully involved in planning your own discharge, together with a relative, carer or friend as appropriate.
We expect you to arrange your own transport home. However, make sure you speak to ward staff about when your relative and/or carer should arrive, as often the hospital will need to organise medication and appointments etc.
Hospital transport is for people with a medical need only.
Medication which you brought into hospital, and still need, will be returned to you. If you have started new medication, you will be given a supply to take home. Your GP will then prescribe more if required.
We will explain your medication before discharge. There are also written instructions on the packaging and an information sheet will be provided.
For further information about your medication please call:
Patient Medications Helpline: 01865 228906
Monday to Friday 9.00am - 1.00pm
We will aim to get you 'Home for Lunch' on your day of discharge wherever possible. We will ask you to move from your bed space to the Transfer Lounge or day room early in the day. This way we will be able to admit another patient and begin their treatment. The Transfer Lounge is staffed by qualified nurses and will provide drinks and meals; here you can wait in comfort for your medication and your transport home.
We will give you:
We will send a discharge letter to your GP explaining the reason for your hospital stay and giving details of your medication.
If you need a follow-up appointment or further investigations, we will arrange this before you leave, or you will receive a letter after discharge from hospital.
If you and your team agree you need help at home, a discharge letter detailing support services will be sent to your GP. The support services will be arranged before your discharge. If you require equipment at home, arrangements will be agreed with you.
If you have any concerns once you are at home, please either contact your GP, or the Social and Health Care Team.
Social and Health Care Team: 0845 050 7666

The success and efficiency of a good interpreter lies in how correctly and quickly he has interpreted the message, lecture or speech of a speaker from source language to target language, remaining as near as possible to the meaning and contents of originality without deviating from the original text of the speech. Here is how to train effectively.
1Understand that interpreting is all about accuracy. What is being presented in the target language must preserve the exact meaning and tone of what is uttered in the source language, whether done simultaneously or consecutively.
2Recognize what is expected of you as an interpreter. All interpreters find this profession demanding and challenging. When an interpreter is working, he or she cannot afford to have a bad day. One bad interpreter can ruin a conference.
3Have the right skills. Strong research and analytical skills, mental dexterity, and an exceptional memory are important for a good and efficient interpreter. A good interpreter needs a good short-term memory to retain what he or she has just heard and good long-term memory to put the information into context. Ability to concentrate is a factor as is the ability to analyze and process what is heard.
4Be persistent. A strong base is required to be a good and efficient interpreter. So many aspirants join this race, but very few make it to the top. The main aspect that differentiates is Training, effort, intelligence, presence of mind and some of your own inner latent talents and initiatives.
5Train well. Training is a very crucial stage in the career of any interpreter. An interpreter aspiring for a good career in this field has to reap the benefits of training through others' experience. The basics should be very solid and strong. This is a big side of the effort. The other side of the coin is type and level of training imparted to the trainee.
6Stay on top of your languages. Human language is a fluid entity---languages and dialects constantly evolve and change. If you miss a nuance or meaning, you risk mistranslation. Maintain your language skills by traveling, watching films, news, and television, listening to music, reading novels, newspapers, and comic strips, etc.
7Make note of the following:
- Interpretation should always be in a target language. A person feels very comfortable in his own mother tongue or that language where he has got good command over it. A trainee should understand what is being said in the training and he should also express his thoughts during discussions. Grasping the content is much easier in a mother tongue. Since his birth, a person speaks, writes, and expresses in his own language—be it in Hindi or Urdu or Spanish or French, all of a sudden, he lands up in training conducted in English, as a source language. He will be totally uncomfortable and uneasy. The basic purpose of training is defeated.
- Interpretation through target language helps in better understanding of the subject by the trainees in much less time. The participation of trainees, as well as persons who are conducting the training, is at the maximum. The result is much better and good.
- Interpretation in target language helps trainees to understand difficult words, contexts, cultures etc. of other people and countries in a better and long lasting manner. They can add their own contents to the inputs of the training.
- Certain professional subjects require in-depth knowledge. Thorough and sound knowledge helps the interpreters to build their own vocabulary and a better understanding of the subject. This becomes a solid base for the interpreter in the future days. This is only possible when training is imparted in the target language.
- The trainee is in a better position to contribute his inputs in his own language after hearing in his own language.
- By imparting training in the target language, a trainee is able to understand and achieves knowledge of higher levels of other countries of various subjects for which he will do interpreting at a future date.
Community Q&A
QuestionIs the word "persistent" related to the interpreting profession?Community AnswerNo, persistent means "continuing firmly or obstinately in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition." An interpreter interprets words into different meanings or languages. Of course, becoming an interpreter requires that you be persistent with your studies and work.
QuestionShould you be fully bilingual to become an interpreter?Community AnswerDefinitely. You should be able to think in a second language and learning even more wouldn't hurt.

Scientologists at War
Reblogged from Moving on Up a Little Higher
A Roast Beef Productions presentation aired on channel 4 in the United Kingdom tonight. Don't know how long it will be up on You Tube (courtesy apparently of WWP) so you may want to watch it soon if you are interested.
Well done documentary of the Cult of Scientology's attempts to intimidate Marty Rathbun.
Thank you Marty for not going away quietly but standing up to David Miscavige and exposing him, through his own actions, for the sociopath that he is.
And for exposing Scientology Inc. for the cult that it is.
What Is Wrong With Scientology? Is Now Available
Buy and read this book.
Marty, in his simple and straightforward style, presents the differences between a philosophy of individual Self-Determinism and a
CultC hurchCorporation gone mad, Hell-bent on domination and control.
Order your copy at Amazon Books here: What Is Wrong With Scientology?
Excerpt from Chapter Seven – Confessional:
In this wise, a new moral code is imposed upon individuals, covertly and against their own determinisms. It is exacerbated by repeated questioning about the individual's failure to report on other Scientologists. After a while, a corporate Scientologist modifies her behavior accordingly, in order to avoid more security checks. She not only edits her own behavior and thoughts, she attempts to do the same with Scientologist friends and family members, so that she does not get into trouble for overlooking such transgressions of others. Thus, a process that was originally intended to free a person from the self-imposed mental prison she has created by her own inability to live up to what she considers right and ethical conduct becomes reversed. The preclear is instead forced to agree to a new mental prison…

- Abstract
- Nearest neighbour search is a core process in many data mining algorithms. Finding reliable closest matches of a query in a high dimensional space is still a challenging task. This is because the effectiveness of many dissimilarity measures, that are based on a geometric model, such as lp-norm, decreases as the number of dimensions increases. In this paper, we examine how the data distribution can be exploited to measure dissimilarity between two instances and propose a new data dependent dissimilarity measure called 'mp-dissimilarity'. Rather than relying on geometric distance, it measures the dissimilarity between two instances in each dimension as a probability mass in a region that encloses the two instances. It deems the two instances in a sparse region to be more similar than two instances in a dense region, though these two pairs of instances have the same geometric distance. Our empirical results show that the proposed dissimilarity measure indeed provides a reliable nearest neighbour search in high dimensional spaces, particularly in sparse data. Mp-dissimilarity produced better task specific performance than lp-norm and cosine distance in classification and information retrieval tasks.

Between literary, jury charge, and Q&A dictation, the literary was always my favorite leg in school. I loved the challenge of tackling dense material. And since it was favored by me, I tended to do well on my literary tests.
I remember consciously making an effort to include literary practice from a book. Sometimes taking a break from dictation on tape is a welcomed change. I had a medical textbook put out by NCRA back then which included chapters on each system in the body: skeletal, nervous, respiratory, digestive, muscular, cardiovascular, etc. I would write from each chapter, concentrating on correct fingering, not on speed. If I had trouble with a certain word or group of words, I would practice them until I could write them without error. I would read my notes to see if there were any flaws or mistakes. As time went on, I could write the chapter quite comfortably. Because of this, when I was presented with nontechnical literary for testing purposes, it did not seem as difficult.
If you do not have such a book, there is plenty of material on line for you to use. Just print up a few articles and write away. Besides medical material, choose material in other subjects as well, such as chemical, engineering, or environmental. The supply is endless! If you can concentrate on one full article a month in a different subject area, think of all the new vocabulary words you will be able to add to your dictionary, not to mention the exposure you will have to the many disciplines you will most likely encounter in your court reporting career.
As an example, I found the article "Wiping Out Gut Bugs Stops Obesity" by Kerry Grens in the November 16, 2015, issue of The Scientist from a simple Google search and found this sentence: "Inhibition of this signaling impairs antibiotic-induced subcutaneous-fat browning, and it suppresses the glucose phenotype of the microbiota-depleted mice." This is obviously a difficult passage. If it is way beyond your abilities, look for material that is less dense and more manageable. The main point is that there is great free practice material out there for whatever level you are at.
To get you started, email me at email@example.com, and I will send you some medical chapters from the NCRA textbook, now sadly out of print, for you to practice. They are not as difficult as the example above, but you will still find them challenging and very interesting.
Another hint: You can also carry the articles with you so that if you have spare time – in a doctor's waiting room, for example, or on the commuter train – you can practice the fingering without your machine. Though not as effective, it is still a good way to forge new pathways between your brain and fingers, new pathways that will soon become part of your everyday writing arsenal.
Try including this method of practice in your routine and see if it brings you success. In any event, it is far better to test your writing abilities during your quiet study sessions than when you come face to face with an expert witness some day.

A quick welcome to my blog.
I have been involved in the management of organic wastes for 25 years, starting with the management of composting facilities and continuing with the provision of consulting services.
After some time of reflection, I started my PhD in Western University's Department of Geography. I had grown a bit tired of managing food after it had become a waste and wondered if there was something I could do to better manage this resource. Thus, I am using my PhD research to better quantify and develop interventions to reduce the amount of food that becomes waste.
This blog then is about ideas on how to better quantify and reduce the wasting of food. It includes everything from summaries and reviews of articles that I have read, ideas, and what is happening in other countries as well as our own.
I hope you will be able to come back from time to time.
I would be grateful if you would consider following me on twitter @allfoodisfood At its simplest this is a mini version of my blog, populated daily with the various goings on of food waste reduction activities.
Finally, I am pleased to announce the upcoming (May) publication of my first peer-reviewed paper "A systematic review of food losses and food waste generation in developed countries" in the journal Waste and Resource Management. This paper summarizes scholarly and other research into the quantification of food waste along the food supply chain. The article will be open source and freely available to everyone.

If that photo is true I'll agree with you that he's a fat slob. But it came from a liberal source so there's no way we can be sure.

A Blairite Welsh Labour source told Wales Online:
"These comments are beyond tasteless. Darren Williams appears to be advocating the death of Tony Blair. Mr Williams holds a position of considerable responsibility within the Labour Party as a member of the National Policy Forum… Clearly, people will ask how someone who holds such extreme and offensive views can adequately represent the views of mainstream members in developing party policy. Frankly, if he doesn't issue a full and unreserved apology and withdraw his remarks his continued membership of the Labour Party should be called into question."
Meanwhile elsewhere Clive Lewis, the Labour PPC for Norwich South was extending his charm to Wes Streeting, the well known Blairite careerist active in the Progress faction:
Labour's left are a pretty nasty bunch…
