A Mother? Or not a Mother? That is the question...
This past Monday, I went to glamour day at a local salon with my bestie from My Life In Purple. This picture is the result of that day. It was brought to my attention by another wonderful lady that went with us, that it was a fitting picture of me at this time in my life, where I am looking up.
Next Sunday is Mother's Day.... Huh. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think I would like to just put a boycott on the entire day.
I have been seeing a grief counsellor who was assigned to our case at the hospital when I delivered Kherrington. At the end of our session last month, she pulled out her schedule to make an appointment for this month. She looked at the calendar and said "How about the week after Mother's day? I think it would be a good idea." I thought, "Okay..if you say so!", thinking that Mother's day will affect me on the same level that her due date did. As just another day on the calendar, that once meant something, but no longer applies to my life.
As the day gets closer, I have mixed opinions. I'm not okay with the fact that Mother's day is no longer a day that is for me. I feel like a mom on one small level. I carried my child, I set up a nursery for my child, I gave "birth" to my child, and I held my child. But that is the end of it, those moments were temporary, and fleeting. After holding my child, I had to give my child back, with only pictures, her ashes, and fading memories to cling to. As each month passes, those days, and my role as a mother, seem farther and farther away. I think of my child daily, wondering what kind of trouble she's getting into, and missing being the one to see her get into that trouble. Part of me wishes that Mother's day would just come and go, without me realizing it. I could just realize on Monday that "Oh, yesterday was Mother's day, fancy that!". But alas, I don't think that will happen.
The topic of Mother's day came up in a conversation I had with my husband last weekend. We talked a bit about our confusing roles as "parents" at this time. We agreed, that if we are going to do anything, we'll plant a tree for Kheri instead. This Sunday (May 2nd) is International Baby Lost Mother's Day, I think that will be a fitting alternative to Mother's day. My child was stillborn, yet she was still born. As I am a Mother on some levels, but not a mother in the physical "reality" sense. Mother's Day, it seems that is just beyond my reach.

I'll make it permanent here on your blog as well:ReplyDelete
You are, right now, and will ALWAYS be, a better mother to Kherrington. You always have her on your mind, you always think of what she would be doing/what she would like/what you would be doing with her.... You GET life, and you understand how precious every moment is. Other women will complain about the things that you WANT to see....and THIS is what makes you a wonderful and beautiful mother.
ALSO, I have this picture up at my desk with my last picture of the two of you.ReplyDelete
The day doesn't have to be Mother's Day, but you can make it Kherrington Day. She was an oddball anyway, she gets several special days :)
From one mom to another. You are and always will be a mom.ReplyDelete

You are a mother she still lives in your heart and memory. Have a wonderful weekend.ReplyDelete
Being a parent isn't something you just suddenly stop being. You had a child, just because you no longer have her doesn't mean you're not a mother.ReplyDelete
I agree with everyone here Mo ...A mother is someone who loves their child no matter where they are or what they are doing. You carried her, worried about what her life would have been like and to this day worry about her still. That is what makes a mother ..There are women that have children but they aren't mothers. Kheri will be in heaven on mothers day sending you her love. Be it rainy , sunny or windy that is what she is sending you so that you know she is there ..The rain, the sun or the wind hitting your face is her and always will be!ReplyDelete
Today we planted a Lavender Chiffon Rose of Sharon in Kherrington's memory.ReplyDelete

You are my daughters mother and I love you both.ReplyDelete

3D bonanza for cinemas but more plot twists on way
THE Irish economy may look like a badly scripted slasher flick come Budget day, but the cinema industry is screaming for joy at a bumper third quarter, with admissions up by over 6 per cent despite a scorcher of a summer.
While the industry had a horrific second quarter because of the World Cup, takings at the box office are up by 8 per cent overall this year with a significant proportion of the upswing due to the surge in more expensive 3D ticket sales. This was well-illustrated by the success of Avatar, which so far has taken more than €2bn at the box-office -- before such spin-offs as DVDs and video games are taken into account. The film cost about €215m to make.
But while this has been welcome news for the studios and for cinema owners, there are still a few plot twists to come, as Warner Bros have scrapped plans to release the first instalment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 3D. The movie will be one of the biggest releases this year, so a happy ending to 2010's script isn't yet guaranteed.

Your body gradually and naturally absorbs the treated tissue over months and even years. This means that an ultrasound may show the fibroid still there. However, an MRI shows that the fibroid has been treated, and your symptoms reflect that improvement.
The majority of women experience significant improvement in the severity of their fibroid-related symptoms within the first few months after focused ultrasound surgery.

Nick Jonas is always up for a challenge so it seems, especially if he has the excuse to strip off. The latest episode of Bear Grylls's celebrity survival show, Running Wild, had Nick teaming up with the outdoor action man to strip down and cross the glacial landscape, diving into polar waters. Removing their clothing ensured the pair would have dry, warm clothing to jump into once they made it across the lake. Nick proved to be very game and took off everything leaving just his tight black Calvin Klein boxers.
Risking frostbite and possible heart attack, the two plunged into the water, wading their way across with encouraging words being shouted by Nick throughout.
At temperatures like that, I imagine his heart must have stopped but the images of him in those boxers definitely set our hearts racing — although this is not the first time Nick has teased us all while posing in his Calvin Kleins:
Jonas is not one to shy away from nudity when it's required for his work, and he feels it's appropriate for the role. In an interview with E!News Nick said:
"If the art required it and it was a role I felt really committed to and like I had to go there with it, I would do whatever it takes to tell the story."
It's fair to say Nick has garnered plenty of experience appearing in the buff on camera, from his work in the TV show Kingdom to the raunchy scenes in Careful What You Wish For, fans have ogled the sexy body of the Jonas brother. It's not just his acting that he'll strip down for either, his latest album has him posing topless too:
Has Nick left you hot under the collar, or does he need to cool it down? Tell us below!
Have we seen too much of Nick Jonas?

She has a case but didn't have it on the phone..Probably wouldn't have much of a difference anyway. Luckily we do have insurance on it so we'll see how much that helps.

The Golf for sunny days is back.
Volkswagen has unveiled a new Cabriolet version of its popular small car, a variant that hasn't been seen in Australia for more than a decade.
The Golf Cabriolet will arrive in Australia at the end of the year again featuring a folding soft-top roof. It will allow the German car maker to elevate its Golf-based Eos hardtop convertible to a more premium position.
VW says the electric-powered roof opens in 9.5 seconds and can be operated on the move up to a speed of 30km/h. Boot space loses 100 litres compared with the Golf hatch, though the 250-litre capacity is the same whether the roof is raised or lowered.
Two passengers can be accommodated in the rear thanks to a wheelbase that is identical to the Eos's despite the Golf Cabrio measuring 208mm shorter at 4.2 metres.
The company says it has modified the car's structure and reinforced window frames for the sake of body rigidity and safety.
There are no surprises with the styling. The front of the Cabriolet matches the look of the Golf hatch, though its windscreen is more steeply raked. The LED tail-lights will be familiar to Australian owners of the Golf R flagship model.
Engine choices are also well known from the current Golf range, with petrol options comprising 77kW 1.2-litre turbo, 90kW 1.4-litre turbo, 118kW 1.4-litre 'twincharger', and the 155kW 2.0-litre turbo engine from the GTI.
Turbo diesels include a 77kW 1.6-litre and 103kW 2.0-litre.
A facelifted version of the VW Eos arrives locally mid-year . The company's range of convertibles will expand further later this year with the introduction of the next-generation Beetle Cabriolet.

I remember playtesting this a while back, I'm glad to see it progressed a little bit. Here are my thoughts:-Level 10: https://i.imgur.com/w4M9RCU.jpg I still think this telesync setup is wonky, since you keep your momentum while walking through the door. I think a teleporter you touch by jumping would be a lot easier to use. Also maybe have a faster way back up, like you have on the other sync level. The height feels good though.-Level 12: https://i.imgur.com/bXXuuwH.jpg Are the blue lines supposed to indicate where to go? If so I think a wider shape would make more sense and would catch the eye better.-Level 13: https://i.imgur.com/zUiuIDw.png I still hate how you cant see that the top part of this glass wall is actually pretty wide, it's super misleading, which sucks considering its the last jump of a longer sequence.-Level 14: https://i.imgur.com/n3ExA9P.jpg The layout of that whole room just feels weird. I'm sure there's a better way to structure the whole thing while keeping the same jump idea.-Level 15: https://i.imgur.com/CRTaAue.jpg Your flare should be able to go through the glass wall, the arc of the flare can be a bit dumb to work with.Overall, the map is ugly and has terrible lighting, but I'm guessing this is gonna be addressed once the levels are done. Nice jumps though.
Also, we are already friends on Steam so we can talk about this there.
I am going for a very jump_quba-esque style of mapping because this is meant to be an exploration of the possibilities of the detonator more than a flowing map if you know what I mean by that.

A 25-minute boat ride from Portland, Maine, this estate on Casco Bay comes with more than just a three-bedroom, six-bathroom, 11,000-square-foot-plus main house.
Its $7,950,000 price tag also includes the 86-acre island on which it sits — Hope Island — along with a boathouse with an apartment; a barn with apartments; a carriage house; a tavern; a chapel; a stable; and a variety of other buildings. As you might assume, the home boasts some pretty incredible water views.
According to the Portland Press Herald, a developer named John Cacoulidis is the owner and purchased the property in in 1993 for $1.3 million, spending 24 years turning the island into its current state.
The island, with 11,050 feet of water frontage, has a rocky coastline, as well as sand beaches, a deepwater pier, and eight ponds.
In the main house, you'll find two full stories and an unfinished basement. The kitchen

Chargers decide to release oft-injured linebacker Larry English
The San Diego Chargers have released outside linebacker Larry English, a former first-round pick.
San Diego parted ways with English on Tuesday. He was limited to nine games last year, including five starts in place of Dwight Freeney, because of a pectoral injury he had after sacking Peyton Manning in a loss to Denver.
Article continues below ...
The Chargers drafted him 16th overall in 2009 and he played in all 16 games as a rookie. He played in just 13 games over the next two years because of foot injuries. English has 11 career sacks in 52 games, nine starts, over his five-year career.
Chargers general manager Tom Telesco says English gave everything he had on the field and made "significant contributions" in the community.

Morgan Schneiderlin arrives for Everton medical ahead of Manchester United move
Schneiderlin to Everton
Manchester United's squad is quite possibly the biggest in the Premier League, and it's seriously overbooked in midfield.
They're particularly well stocked in central midfield; a lot was made of Mourinho's banishment of Bastian Schweinsteiger, but Schneiderlin has barely featured all season either.
Jose Mourinho confirmed recently that the Frenchman had asked to leave, and that he wouldn't stand in his way if a sufficient offer comes in.
Everton quickly emerged as a suitor; they're also keen on Memphis Depay.
The Toffees reportedly had an initial bid rejected as it wasn't up to United's valuation, but they've now come back with a second bid which has been accepted.
The Telegraph report that Everton and United have reached a 22m pound agreement for the French midfielder, who has only played 32 league games in his season and a half at the club – and Mourinho confirmed it was happening last night.
United paid 24m for him, meaning they've essentially made their money back (the deal could rise to 24m).
Medical at Finch Farm
So with a fee agreed, the next step is for Schneiderlin to undergo a medical, and he arrived at Finch Farm earlier this afternoon.
Presuming all goes well with the medical, Everton will probably announce the signing in the coming days.

Review for Roberson RV
Steve K. on 02/08/2013
Steve said he had a very good experience. He said he had trouble with the business where he purchased the vehicle, so he called Winnebago and they referred him to this business. He said the vehicle is fairly new and this business did everything that was asked of them. Everything was fixed. He said the other business would tell him everything had been fixed when they had only taken care of some of the issues and this was the first time he has had an experience where a business has fixed all of his issues. He said this business stuck with the work until they could replicate the problems his vehicle was having and then they did the work. He said Duane was very nice. This business worked with him and they did a fine job. He said the most important thing to him is the communication and this business did a great job. They should keep up the good work. He said he really appreciated that they gave him feedback and explained things.

'Neighbors 2' Red Band Trailer: Drugs, Parties and Sex Toys

Seth Rogen, Jake Gyllenhaal or Paul Dano: See which actor best convinces you that we should "party with the Haitians."
When last we saw Mac and Kelly Radner (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) things were finally starting to calm down for them and their newborn daughter. But calm doesn't make good material for a sequel, and so for the upcoming Neighbors 2 (subtitled Sorority Rising, apparently), things are about to get rowdy again. At least according to Wikipedia's plot synopsis. And Wikipedia is never wrong:
We weren't sure what to think about Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs biopic after the first trailer. Yes, it seemed dramatic and fascinating, but also highlighted a performance by Michael Fassbender as the former Apple CEO that didn't really look or sound at all like Steve Jobs. Could the film overcome that hurdle? After the film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival earlier this month to rave reviews — specifically calling out Fassbender's "enthralling" and "stunning" — it may be time to fully buy in to this project. If you're left doubting, a brand new trailer has arrived to help convince you.
There is a lot to love in the new red band trailer for The Night Before, which feels like someone took a long look at the career of Seth Rogen thus far, selected everything about his work that people enjoy, and assembled it into one crazy package. This trailer has everything you'd come to expect from a Seth Rogen movie in the year 2015: drugs jokes, fear-of-growing-up jokes, bromance jokes, relationship jokes, unexpected sentimentality, and, of course, a cast that includes a whole bunch of people you really like.
All right, so Steve Jobs has nothing to do with Jobs, the Ashton Kutcher biopic about late Apple cofounder and CEO Steve Jobs — except for the fake that they're about the same person. The twist, supposedly, for this new Jobs biopic, which is directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin, is that the whole film is set at and around three different Apple product launches. (Kutcher's version featured a more traditional biopic structure).
This is sort of a surprising-not-surprising news item. Universal is readying a sequel to last year's phenomenally successful comedy 'Neighbors,' which starred Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne as married thirtysomethings whose suburban bliss with their newborn baby is spoiled by the arrival of a rowdy frat house next door. The first movie didn't exactly leave a bunch of loose ends for Rogen, Byrne, and Efron to continue into another film, and comedy sequels don't have a great track record. But the first movie did gross over $268 million worldwide against an $18 million budget. Hence the not-surprising part: Universal's announcement that they're working on a 'Neighbors 2,' which they hope to have in theaters by next summer.
If you haven't watched Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's 'The Interview' yet, either because you're too cheap to spend $6 to rent it online, or you were worried North Korean hackers would catch you buying it and share your private emails slagging your boss with the world (I'm sorry Mike! When I called you "a giant goober," I meant that in an affectionate way, like Goobers candy! Which everyone loves!) you are in luck. As part of their quarterly letter to shareholders, Netflix announced that they will "exclusively" offer the comedy to its U.S. and Canadian customers starting this Saturday, January 24. Sorry Netflix Netherlands! You're out of luck for now.
I know one reaction I've had to the (allegedly) North Korean hackers and their attack on Sony and their movie 'The Interview' is "Why now?" Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are not the first American filmmakers to make fun of North Korea, or even its real-life leaders. 'Team America: World Police,' for example, featured a marionette-version of late North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, who wants to destroy Western Civilization (but is also very lonely); the 2012 'Red Dawn' remake actually changed its Asian invaders from Chinese to North Koreans in post-production because at the time that seemed like the more politically and financially safe choice. That's not going to happen again anytime soon.
Actor Seth Rogen, 29, and his girlfriend of seven years, Lauren Miller, 30, finally made it official on Sunday when they swapped vows in California's wine country.
A female rabbi presided over the service, which was attended by celebrities like Adam Sandler, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, and director-producer Judd Apatow and his wife, actress Leslie Mann.

Favorite baby stuff
What's your most favorite outfit out of everything you have for baby so far? Post pics!
How about your favorite toy/plushie?
Favorite practical item?
Favorite decorative thing (including furniture)?
Re: Favorite baby stuff
Outfit would have to be her pink sailor dress. I'll have to find a picture of it.
I dont have any toys or plushes for her yet.
Practical item is her mamaroo and we dont have much furniture for her. She will get Everett's crib when he goes into a toddler bed.
Re: Favorite baby stuff
I love my little guy's nursery. It's so pretty and calming in there, and it's full of things that make me happy. I had a hard time narrowing down what my favourite aspects are.
Outfit(s): The first is one that I bought, and I think is cute and funny, the second is a gift from my grandmother. She made the same thing for DD in purple when she was born.
http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1368555402 http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/...1368555474?521
Toy/Plushie: I couldn't pick just one because they all go together. I've been collecting little woodland animals whenever I see them and I think they look so sweet all together. The little red and white toadstool is actually a rattle, that I made myself out of felt.
Practical Item(s): I love the crib that we got. I love that it's a crib/changer combo with storage, and that it converts into a toddler and then double bed, and I love that I got it on sale for less than $200. I also love my rocker/recliner. It's so much more comfortable than the wooden glider that we had when DD was a baby.
http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/...1368555552?327 http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/...1368555578?544
Decorative: Hands down, I love my birch tree wall decal the best. It ties the whole room together, and just makes it serene in there.
Re: Favorite baby stuff
I haven't been thru most of the baby's stuff yet. It sounds weird but my mother in law had been goinginsane shopping at mostly rummage sales. My husband brought the second load home Sunday and I haven't been able to go thru it yet. There is no reason for me to buy clothes because she has purchased a ton I just have to see what I have for what size.
The favorite thing I have ( or will have) is something I bought my sister for ky now almost 12 yr old niece. It's like a travel screen dome. I don't see them anymore and they are perfect for a baby that doesn't crawl yet to go to outdoor places like parks, ball games, etc. We have passed it back and forth.
I'm going to have a pity party right now. I have some clothes but nothing that really stands out. It was just stuff that I could tolerate. I have no toys that are really for him. Practical item- well I did get pretty blue fabric so that I can use it as a Moby wrap. The only thing that is really special right now is a crochet baby blanket that a friend gave me. She had her aunt make it and it is so soft.

Paul Thomas Anderson's sixth directed film "The Master" is among the films in September, with a chilling depiction of the start of a cult-like religion, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as a charlatan at the center and Joaquin Phoenix as his right hand man. The film also stars Amy Adams, and is said to be based on the founding of Scientology. Also opening in September in the United Kingdom and November in the United States, "Anna Karenina" starring Kiera Knightley. It's the thirteenth big screen adaptation of the classic Russian novel by Leo Tolstoy, about a 19th-century Russian aristocratic woman who enters into a life-changing and brow-raising affair with an affluent count. The film also stars Jude Law and Emily Watson. Opening November 2, "Flight" stars two-time Oscar-winner Denzel Washington as an airline pilot who miraculously lands a plane that malfunctions mid-flight, only to have his heroism challenged with the revelation that he had alcohol in his blood. The Steven Spielberg-directed biopic "Lincoln, " opens in November, with two-time Academy Award-winning actor Daniel Day Lewis, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the 16th U.S. President taking on the role. 007 is also back in November with the 23rd film in the James Bond spy series, starring Daniel Craig as Bond and Dame Judi Dench as his boss, M, as the pair try to figure out a plot to kill undercover MI6 agents. Opening November 16th, the fifth and final film in its series, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" is the epic conclusion to the megalith franchise that has so far grossed over 4 billion dollars in box office sales. The film stars recently broken-up couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. "Django Unchained" has a Christmas day release date. The film, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, stars Leonardo Dicaprio and Jamie Foxx telling the story of a slave-turned-bounty hunter. © DailyMotion - Wednesday, August 29, 2012

STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS -- (Senate - June 12, 2007)
By Mr. VITTER:
S. 1597. A bill to preserve open competition and Federal Government neutrality towards the labor relations of Federal Government contractors on Federal and federally funded construction projects; to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, I am pleased to introduce today a bill that would go a long way toward ensuring that Federal contracting remains a process of equal opportunity and open competition. Specifically, my legislation would prohibit the practice of attaching restrictive union-only project labor agreements, or PLAs, to Federal contracts.
In short, any contractor or subcontractor who is bidding on a construction project that includes a union-only PLA must agree to recognize unions as the representatives of the employees on that job; use the union hiring hall to obtain workers and apprentices; pay union wages and benefits; and follow the union's restrictive rules, job classifications, and arbitration procedures.
These restrictions would apply at the expense of a contractor's or subcontractor's usual team of workers. They would apply in States that may have low numbers of unionized construction workers, even if it meant denying jobs to local, in-State workers and required bringing in employees from out of State. Finally, the restrictions in a union-only PLA would apply even though only 13 percent of our private construction workforce belongs to a construction labor union, and therefore effectively locking out almost nine of every 10 able, qualified workers.
In my home State of Louisiana, just 7.4 percent of private construction workers belong to a construction labor union. Yet, for example, if union-only PLAs are attached to the Federal construction projects helping rebuild Louisiana after the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Louisianans will be locked out of this important rebuilding process, making it difficult to find work and earn a decent wage; the same jobs and wages that would enable Louisiana families to return to the hurricane-affected areas and rebuild their lives in these communities. Yet, instead of enabling local folks and businesses to come together and participate in their community's renewal, PLAs will ensure that these valuable jobs will go to just a select few, mostly out-of-State union workers. It is inexcusable that local Louisiana firms and their workers would be barred from freely bidding on construction projects in their own town or parish. And this is just one example of the harmful consequences associated with PLAs.
In sum, the Federal Government should not be in the business of taking taxpayers' money to fund projects that exclude more than four out of five workers, making these projects discriminatory, anticompetitive, and unnecessarily expensive. At the very least, taxpayers should be able to bid and work on projects that they are funding with their own hard-earned dollars. Construction workers should have the opportunity to work on projects that benefit their own communities regardless of their union affiliation. The Federal Government should maintain a neutral position and encourage full and open competition in the Federal contracting process.
Contracts should be awarded based on sound, commonsense criteria, such as quality of work, experience, and cost. Union affiliation has no place within the criteria for considering a contract bid. The best bid, by the most qualified contractor or subcontractor, should always be the winning bid.
I urge my colleagues to support this important legislation and to oppose attempts to attach union-only project labor agreements to Federal projects.
I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the Record

Unanswered: User in multiple categories
I'm building a site that has a section with a directory listing of people that can be viewed by category. When people register, I want them to be able to check ALL categories that apply, not simply choose one or a fixed amount.
In my database, I have a Categories table that has a CategoryID field as the primary key, and a CategoryName varchar field.
What's the best way to associate a user with a variable and unlimited number of categories? I want to be able to send a query to the database that returns all the users that are in a particular category, regardless of whether they are in other categories also.

use an intersection table
the intersection table contains the primary keys of the two referenced tables.. the user and the category (and if relevant other information pertinent to that intersection.. which doesnt' apply here). I'd suggest you use the PK fo the user and categories table as a composite PK in the intersection table, so one user can only have one instance of a specific category.I'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

HKRFU boss Trevor Gregory is certain tickets for Lions game will sell
HKRFU chief says the unique match against the Barbarians will see a full stadium
Related topics
Rugby bosses are confident they will sell 25,000 tickets to local residents for next summer's historic encounter between the British and Irish Lions and the British Barbarians at Hong Kong Stadium.
"We are confident demand will be high," Hong Kong Rugby Football Union chairman Trevor Gregory said. "This will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the best of the Northern Hemisphere take on the best of the rest. It is a unique game and we are very excited and hopeful the stadium will be full."
Organisers are mindful of the last Bledisloe Cup encounter in Hong Kong in 2010 when only 26,210 fans paid to watch the All Blacks take on the Wallabies at the 40,000-capacity stadium, resulting in the HKRFU losing millions of dollars.
More than 25,000 tickets will be available for Hong Kong residents for the June 1 showdown when the Lions will make their first offshore visit in 125 years to a city other than the traditional touring countries of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Organisers expect around 10,000 travelling fans.
Public sales will start next month online with around 10,000 tickets up for grabs. Another 15,000 tickets have been made available for local rugby clubs. Tickets are priced at HK$1,290 (gold), HK$1,000 (silver) and HK$750 (bronze). In addition, tickets for the Lions den - the South Stand - will cost HK$1,100. "We looked at the ticket prices very carefully and there is a good spread [of pricing]," Gregory said. We are confident we will be able to sell all the tickets."
Only 4,000 tickets were available for the public for this year's Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, with the allocation for local clubs at the Sevens usually between 12,000 and 16,000 tickets.
"There will be a larger percentage of tickets available for the Hong Kong public than there was at the Hong Kong Sevens," said Jacqui Donaldson, a spokeswoman for the Lions. "The Hong Kong clubs have been given an exclusive window to reserve an allocation of tickets for their members and depending on that demand we might have more available for the public."
But some fans said the tickets were too costly.
"It is steep when you think of the price for the Hong Kong Sevens (HK$1,500 for a three-day ticket)," said Chee Sing Chan, a longtime Sevens fan. "But it seems this pricing is typical now for these big, one-off sports events. However, I would still buy a HK$750 ticket. It's the Lions and this only happens every four years and for the first time in Asia. They may never come again, hell yeah, I'll pay even the HK$1,290,"
Garry Coley from Sham Tseng said: "They are a bit on the high side. Sure it's a one-off event, with a good selection of world-class players, but at the end of the day the 'edge' isn't there as a competitive event. I guess it might be priced at what an Elton John concert ticket might cost in December. I am not comparing apples with apples, but my preference at this moment would be to see Elton John at those prices. Even breaking the Sevens down to daily it is HK$500, and that represents better value."

"Lack of nurses"
About: Royal Bournemouth General Hospital / Vascular surgery Royal Bournemouth General Hospital Vascular surgery BH7 7DW
Posted via NHS Choices
I was admitted to the surgical ward 18 for a blood clot in my arm on the evening of14th Sept and operated on very quickly by the consultant with the help of a wonderful registrar and an amazing theatre staff and recovery nurses.It was the after care that was abysmal. The next day I even rang my daughter in Salisbury to try to get help,for at least 3/4 of an hour no one came to help me when I was in agony.
Even when I went to the nursing station I was told to go back to bed and someone would come( eventually some one did.)
The next day I was moved to ward 14 all the helpers there were great especially the lovely people bringing the tea etc.But I can honestly say that I did not see one nurse until I asked about having my arm dressed before I left in the evening. When I went to wash in the morning I came back to a lovely clean bed but also 2 pain killers left on my table but not a nurse in sight.I know this is wrong no nurse asked me any questions about what I needed to take or if I required anything. It seems to me that the hospital needs to look into its procedure regarding nursing staff reposbilities before there is a big problem.Just a hello or a good morning would be a start. Christine McManus
Response from Royal Bournemouth General Hospital 13 months ago
Dear Ms Mcmanus
Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience of our surgical department and we are sorry to hear it did not attain the high standards we aspire to and you would expect to receive.
Thank you for highlighting that the care you had during surgery and recovery was very good but we are concerned that you felt compelled to call your daughter for help during your stay on Ward 18 and felt that no registered nurse attended to you.
I have raised your concerns with the Ward Sisters and also the Matron who have asked me to pass on their apologies and assured me they would investigate and monitor the situation on both wards.
Staff administering medications will be reminded to check patient details before dispensing any medication and we are sorry this did not appear to happen on this occasion. We will ensure an incident form is completed and is presented as part of our corporate medicine governance meeting by the meeting for shared learning.
If you would like to discuss any of the concerns you have raised in more detail please contact us through our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALs) on 01202 704886.
We hope that you are now recovering well from your surgery and wish you well for the future.

Grandma's Marathon entertainment will have a new look this year
Tent revelers will see a Boston-based rap-rock duo perform in Canal Park during Grandma's Marathon weekend.
In: Aer, Pop Rocks, Rhino and Love and Theft with special guest Ashley Monroe. Out: GB Leighton.
"We wanted to change it up and we're excited about the new direction that we're going," said Linda Hanson, the marathon's finance and operations director. "We appreciate all the years and great performances (GB Leighton) gave."
Minneapolis-based GB Leighton, fronted by Brian Leighton, had a 17-year stand during Grandma's Marathon weekend, which this year is June 20-21.
The fun-time sing-along band gained entry in the 1990s with a reference from the Hayward band Molly and the Haymakers. GB Leighton also opened for Jonny Lang one year before taking over headlining duties.
Leighton found out about the lineup change from his agent, he said.
"It was kind of sad," Leighton said. "It's been a staple for my audience to go up there every year, even if they didn't run. I have no hard feelings against them at all. They've always been great to us. If they want to try something different, it's all good."
Hanson said marathon staff and the board of directors made the decision to find new entertainment.
"We listened to our runners and our weekend supporters and we're thrilled to offer them something completely different than before," she said. "We've got a genre for everybody. If you like country, we've got it. If you like hip hop, we've got it."
Aer (pronounced Air) is Carter Schultz and David van Mering, a duo that combines rap, reggae, pop and indie rock. The band's 2012 album "The Bright Side" was No. 1 on the iTunes Albums chart and landed on the Billboard 200. Aer's music has been featured on MTV's "The Real World." They released a self-titled album earlier this year.
Pop Rocks is a regional pop tribute act that incorporates costume changes and has been featured during Spirit Valley Days. Rhino, a Twin Cities-based act, covers modern, alternative, 80s and classic rock.
Love and Theft is a country duo that was nominated for the CMA's New Artist of the Year award in 2012. Ashley Monroe, a Hot Country charter and member of Pistol Annies, will share the stage.
Leighton told the News Tribune in 2010 that he used his Grandma's Marathon gigs to mentally prepare for other shows.
"It always makes me feel like a star, almost," he said at the time. "It's one of those set-ups: big stage, big tents, thousands of people and they sing along all the words. In my mind, that's why the show is important to me."
Leighton said that still stands.
"It's one of my favorite shows," he said Friday. "I hate to see it leave, but I can understand. Seventeen years is a long run."
Meanwhile, Leighton still will be in Duluth during Grandma's Marathon weekend. The band has a show June 20 at Clyde Iron Works.

HONOLULU – Students from the University of Hawai`i's William S. Richardson School of Law successfully defended their title and won second place again at the National Native American Law Students Association's Moot Court Competition. More than 40 teams from 17 law schools across the United States competed. This marks the third year in a row that a University of Hawai`i Law School team competed in the final round.
"Once again our students worked very hard and did an outstanding job in this intense national competition," said Avi Soifer, Dean of the Law School. "We are very proud of all these students and very grateful to all the members of the legal community who helped them prepare so well for the national competition."
The 17th annual National Native American Law Students Association's Moot Court Competition was hosted this year by the law schools at the University of Colorado and Denver University. Law students compete by arguing both sides of a simulated appeals court case both orally and in writing.
Third year law student Ann Otteman and second year law student Jesse Smith completed five oral argument rounds before reaching the final round. Otteman and Smith took second place in the Best Advocates category, while a team from Columbia Law School finished in First Place. This category represents the top team of competitors in the oral argument portion of the competition.
Other students who competed included third year law students Rafael Renteria, Christopher Santos, and Terrence Thornburgh, and second year law students Lahela Hite, Chasid Sapolu, Scott Shishido, Ka`upena Soon, and Kau`i Yamane. Six of these students also reached the top 16 team bracket. These Hawai'i law students were accompanied by Joni Domingues and Uilisone Tua.
Hawai`i judges, attorneys, and law professors helped to prepare Hawai`i's teams. The judges included federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Richard Clifton, District Court Judges David Ezra and Michael Seabright, and Magistrate Judge Leslie Kobayashi.
The Honolulu Advertiser also had an article on this.

These passages are segments of the novel that best demonstrate themes and lessons to be learned when reading Demian. They are a couple of the central ideas and morals of the book.
- "Der Vogel kämpft sich aus dem Ei. Das Ei ist die Welt. Wer geboren werden will, muß eine Welt zerstören. Der Vogel fliegt zu Gott. Der Gott heißt Abraxas."
- (The bird struggles out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird then flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas.)
- "Schicksal und Gemüt sind Namen eines Begriffs." Das hatte ich nun verstanden.
- ("Fate and temperament are two words for one and the same concept." That was clear to me now.)
- "Ich habe nichts dagegen, daß man diesen Gott Jehova verehrt, nicht das mindeste. Aber ich meine, wir sollen Alles verehren und heilig halten, die ganze Welt, nicht bloß diese künstlich abgetrennte, offizielle Hälfte! Also müssen wir dann neben dem Gottesdienst auch einen Teufelsdienst haben."
- ("I have no objection to worshiping this God Jehovah, far from it. But I mean we ought to consider everything sacred, the entire world, not merely the artificially separated half! Thus alongside the divine service we should also have a service for the devil.")
- "If today you had to choose one of the two thieves as a friend or think about which of the two you could sooner put your trust in, it's certainly not that whimpering convert. No, it's the other one, he's a real man with character. He doesn't give a hoot about converting, which in his situation can only be pretty speechifying; he travels his path to the end, and doesn't act like a coward at the last minute, renouncing the Devil, who must have helped him up until then. He's a man of character, and people of character generally get short shrift in Bible stories. Maybe he's a descendant of Cain. Don't you think so?"

AppAbove Releases Chip Chain For AndroidFiled under News by Adam on March 7, 2013 at 4:05 PM
After a brief four-month stint as an iOS-only app, Chip Chain has finally been released on Google's Android platform, bringing the incredibly popular matching game to the most popular mobile platform in the world.
Since its release in November of 2012, Chip Chain has been downloaded over 160,000 times by iOS users. This is according to AppAbove, the developer who made the game – and who is very excited to be releasing another version of its popular free-to-play game alongside its existing iOS versions.
As was already mentioned, Chip Chain is a free-to-play game, with in-app purchases being available for those who want to take the game just a bit further.
If you're interested in playing a hit puzzle game without breaking the bank, you can find the Android download link below the press release.
[press]Match-3 Meets Strategy in AppAbove's Chip Chain, Just Released for Android
Unexpectedly addictive matching game can be downloaded for free from Google Play
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – March 7, 2013 – AppAbove Games, a developer and publisher of bestselling mobile games, has released their fan-favorite, free-to-play matching game Chip Chain for Android phones and tablets. The Android version joins a well-received iPhone / iPad version that has been played a whopping 6.5M times by iOS users around the globe since its November 2012 debut. Android users can join in the fun by downloading Chip Chain for free from Google Play:
Chip Chain may look like a basic match-3 game—but looks can be deceiving! The gameplay starts out familiar: simply place three or more chips of the same value next to each other to create a chain and earn a new chip with a higher value. But Chip Chain quickly evolves from a simple matching game to an addictive, strategic puzzler thanks to four game modes, cards that can be played to move chips or change their values, and a dealer who tosses down his own chips to get in the way. Players can make mega-chains for a higher score, find ways to use the dealer's chips to their advantage, and stay in the game as long as they can.
This more-than-meets-the-eye
"Our goal for Chip Chain was to make a highly-polished puzzle game that was very easy to learn but had enough depth to keep experienced gamers playing for hours. Hearing all the great compliments from users of all ages shows that we succeeded," says Aaron Isaksen, Chip Chain's lead designer and cofounder of AppAbove Games. "Now we are very excited share this game with the ever expanding group of people with Android tablets and phones."
Chip Chain's four game modes rotate daily, so players always have something new to try. Though some content can be unlocked with reasonably priced in-app purchases, Chip Chain also offers a huge amount of gameplay absolutely free.

My friend Jerry
I first met Jerry at a poker tournament. He had checked in with a mini-trampoline. For Jerry, exercise means to keep fit. In addition Jerry rides a bike. Jerry likes to think about poker, running over past hands or studying his past opponents.
What is the highlight of Jerry's seven year poker career? There is no hesitation in his answer at all: "My breakthrough weekend at a Casino Regina Poker Classic in which in four tournaments I took a first, second, and third and won best overall." Indeed, Jerry is the number one money winner in the seven year history of Casino Regina Poker Classics with slightly over $100,000 in prize money. In fact, in statistics compiled by Edmonton pro Dave Klassen, Jerry is the number one money winner in Canadian poker tournament history with a total of $112,432 in prize money (won at Casino Regina, Cash Casino Calgary, and Casino Yellowhead Edmonton).
It is easy to understand why Jerry says that tournaments generally, and no-limit hold'em tournaments specifically, are his favorite form of poker. In ring games he prefers pot-limit Omaha in which he has frequently won or lost $5,000 to $10,000 in a single evening. But as Jerry says, "Nothing beats the feeling of making the final table of a big poker tournament and playing for twenty or thirty thousand."
If there is a poker highlight there must also be a lowlight. At the 2003 World Series of Poker Jerry was the chip leader to start the final table in consecutive super satellites. Seven times he held Big Slick and failed to convert even one of them into a winner. He was very disappointed. In one of the two super-satellites he had over thirty percent of the chips in play but Big Slick did him in.
Is poker all that Jerry does? No. He professes a love of the outdoors. In keeping with a healthy lifestyle and plenty of exercise, hiking is a favorite and relaxing pursuit. His other passion is harness racing. While most poker players will place the occasional sports or horse racing wager, Jerry has gone beyond that. Not too long ago he used to own harness racing horses. He likes challenges and owning harness racing horses was a challenge.
In fact, that is precisely what Jerry loves about poker, It is a very complex game that no one can completely master. He cannot imagine what he could replace poker with. He intend to die playing poker. For him, it is the fountain of youth. He rides his exercise bike to keep his body young. He play poker to keep his mind young.
Certainly Jerry is known for his youthful demeanor and sense of fun. He is not hard to pick out of a poker crowd with his distinctive hat and gentlemanly countenance. In Casino Regina Poker Classics his side bets with Edmonton some poker players are something of legend. They frequently have more riding on their last-longer bet than they have invested in the tournament and their mutual teasing and kibitzing adds to the fun.
It should also be noted that Jerry is known for his aggressive style. It is no fun to find your seat in a tournament and discover that you have him sitting on your immediate left. There will be two things you can be sure of: Jerry is going to put you to a lot of tough decisions; and you are going to have a lot of trouble putting him on a hand. Good luck. You will need it.

Unanswered: REFRESH DEFERRED (SUMMARY) MQTs
If I have a GUI tool which will eventually be querying the base tables and I want to ensure that the "DEFERRED" MQT will be used, and there's no way that the tool will issue a SET CURRENT REFRESH AGE ANY, how do I tell DB2 to use the MQT without going directly against the MQT table in the query?

Simplest answer would be to issue an update db cfg for "dbalias" using DFT_REFRESH_AGE ANY.
I think that another solution might be to update the workstation using the GUI in its db2cli.ini CurrentRefreshAge=ANY .

Entertainment is usually provided by local and national talent including the Charles Town Maroon Drummers and Dancers. Traditional Jamaican food such as jerk pork, bussoo soup, ital stew, dukoono and chocolate tea prepared by local community members including the Bowden Pen Farmers Association.
ALL proceeds from Misty Bliss are used by the JCDT for management of the BJCMNP. In addition, the event benefits local community businesses and raises awareness about the BJCMNP.
Misty Bliss 2015 will be held on Sunday, 29th November to celebrate the inscription of the Blue and John Crow Mountains on the UNESCO World Heritage List confirming the outstanding universal value of both the cultural and natural heritage of the site.
The event's entertainment will feature "Mr Festival" - Roy Rayon, the Jamaican Folk Singers and the Charles Town Maroon Drummers and Dancers. The food will be traditional, old time Jamaican cooking - tasty and hearty. The Bowden Pen Farmers Association will be there with their usual Maroon cuisine. There will be activities for children of all ages including Treasure Hunt and Guided Tours. An educational exhibit will be mounted about the Blue and John Crow Mountains cultural and natural heritage.

Sony Xperia J ST26i is another ICS powered smartphone from sony release in 2012. Sony Xperia J comes with 4 inches screen, single core 1 Ghz CPU, Adreno 200 GPU, and very unique design. Actually from the price range and hardware specs, Sony Xperia J is the equal match for LG Optimus L7. In this article we're going to review Sony Xperia J and find out the performance of this smartphone.
As you can see Sony Xperia J has a very unique curve shape on the back, this curve shape makes your hand feels very comfortable when you holding it, and also makes the phone looks super stylish.
Sony Xperia J measures 124 mm of height, 61 mm width, and 9.2 mm of thickness. From the size Sony Xperia J is a lot bigger than Xperia Miro, so probably won't fit well on your small pocket.
The weight of Sony Xperia J is 124 grams, it is little bit heavier than Sony Xperia Miro. But from the side Xperia J is actually slimmer than Xperia Miro. Here's the measurement table of Sony Xperia J.
|Sony Xperia J
|124.3 mm
|61.2 mm
|9.2 mm
|124 grams
Just like Xperia Miro, Xperia J also has two LED light notification, one at the top left near the earpiece, and the other is at the bottom (the silver bezel). The bottom LED light notification will blink when there's social networking activity, for example some one comment on your facebook status.
There are seven colours of light you can choose for this LED light notification based on the selected Xperia theme. The LED light notification is really nice feature, it will alert you for social networking activity (facebook, twitter, instagram, etc).
Sony Xperia J comes with 4 inches touch screen, and the resolution is FWVGA 854 x 480 pixels. The pixel density is quite high, 245 ppi, that means the screen is very bright and the viewing angle also very good.
The display of Xperia J not only bright and shinny but also equipped with anti-scratch technology, Corning gorilla glass. So you don't have to worry the that touch screen will get ugly scratch marks.
|Sony Xperia J
|Screen size
|4 inches
|Screen type
|TFT LCD capacitive
|Screen resolution
|854 x 480 pixels
|Pixel density
|245 ppi
|16 Million colours
|Gorilla glass
Sony Xperia J still using the same single core cortex A5 CPU just like Xperia Miro and Tipo, but with different clock speed. It's 1000 mhz (1 Ghz) on Xperia J, where on Xperia Miro and Tipo, it's only 800 mhz.
For graphics, RAM, and ROM, there's nothing change. Xperia J using Adreno 200 GPU, 512 mb of RAM, and total 4 GB of internal memory (ROM), with 2.2 GB is the actual user available space.
So it's only the processor speed that's changed from Miro. That's makes me wonder is it possible to overclock the CPU speed on Miro or Tipo to 1 ghz? Well, it would be outside the scope of this article.
Besides the CPU speed, battery capacity also upgraded from Miro/Tipo. Xperia J has 1700 mAh battery, compared with 1500 mAh on Miro/Tipo.
|Sony Xperia J
|Cortex A5 speed 1000 mhz
|Adreno 200 (enhanced)
|Qualcomm MSM7225A
|2.2 GB user available (4 GB total)
Sony Xperia J comes with android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 and Sony Timescape UI, just like Xperia Tipo and Miro. You will get 5 fix home screen (means you can't add or remove) where you can put whatever widget you want on your phone.
There's also overview mode where you can see all of your widget floating, and you can select one of them to get quick access. You can activate the overview mode by doing pinch on any of the five home screen.
Just like Xperia Miro and Tipo, Xperia J also has seven different themes that you can choose. These seven themes are; silk(white), turquoise (light blue), emerald (green), sapphire (blue), gold (yellow), rubby (pink), amethyst(purple).
Which themes you choose determine the colour of the LED light notification on the bottom (the silver bezel) of Xperia J. The LED light notification will blink when there is social networking activity.
For music player, just like Xperia Miro, Xperia J also comes with the Walkman music player. The music player is very smooth, there's no lag issue like we found on Xperia Miro.
Besides the Walkman application, there's also TrackID application which allow you to identify information about any song/music you play. It's the same concept as Shazam application. TrackID also available on Xperia Miro and Tipo.
The hardware of Xperia J are not so powerful, but it is little bit better than Xperia Miro. And the benchmark result also show that Xperia J is slightly higher than Xperia Miro. Here's the benchmark result table of Sony Xperia J.
|Sony Xperia J
|Antutu Benchmark
|3427 points
|Quadrant Standard Benchmark
|2034 points
|Nenamark 1 Benchmark
|56 fps
|Nenamark 2 Benchmark
|19.3 fps
Sony Xperia J equipped with 5 megapixels camera on the back and 0.3 mega pixels (VGA) camera on the front. The 5 megapixels camera comes with LED flash and autofocus feature. You can zoom up to 4 times (digital zoom).
The quality of the camera is very good i must say, both for indoor and outdoor photo shoot. But for video recording the maximum resolution is only in VGA. The LED flash could also be use in video recording, so the video result would be bright.
|Sony Xperia J
|Rear camera
|5 mega pixels
|LED flash
|Video record
|VGA resolution at 30 fps
|Front camera
|0.3 mega pixels
Sony always makes beautiful and stylish phones, and that includes Sony Xperia J. The super stylish design is the main attraction of Sony Xperia J. It's probably the reason why you buy this phone.
Unfortunately inside this beautiful phones, the hardware are not so powerful, cortex A5 single core 1 Ghz (snapdragon S1) + Adreno 200 graphics. You won't be able to enjoy your favorite HD movies with these kind of hardware specs (H/W rendering).
But for gaming you don't have to worry, Sony Xperia J will be able to play most of HD games available on the Google Play Store. Because there are many games actually support Adreno 200 graphics.
Other phones you want to consider is LG Optimus L7, it has similar hardware but bigger screen 4.3 inches + NFC (the P705 model). For relativly same price you could also get Xperia Sola which has dual core CPU + Mali 400 GPU + NFC, but still running gingerbread (ICS available as update).

The Equitable Life trial grew more complicated last week as Equitable's legal team decided against amending its claim for a sixth time, instead deciding to pursue the majority of the £2.6bn action.
Last Monday (27 June) Equitable's counsel, 20 Essex Street head Iain Milligan QC, dropped an application for amendment. The society has already amended its negligence claim against former auditor Ernst & Young (E&Y) five times since the trial began in April.
The drama in Court 76 continued last Wednesday (29 June), when Milligan announced that Equitable was pursuing its "lost sale" claim against E&Y, accounting for £2bn of the total monetary value claimed. Equitable contends that E&Y breached its duty as auditor, and so caused the society considerable losses.
E&Y's lead counsel Mark Hapgood QC of Brick Court Chambers hit back at Equitable's decision. He told the court: "It is only the lost sale claim that enables the society to go on saying to the press, week after week, that they are claiming and inferentially may recover £2,000m [sic] from Ernst & Young, and it is quite probably the thought of the embarrassment of having to climb down from that figure that is keeping the case alive."
Hapgood added that E&Y will seek indemnity costs if it successfully defends the action.
Herbert Smith partner Charles Plant is acting for Equitable, while Barlow Lyde & Gilbert's Clare Canning represents E&Y.
The trial continues.

Post Edited By Moderator (FamilyGuy) : 6/6/2008 1:54:50 PM (GMT-6)
Thank you all so much for your replies (and prayers and good wishes) we really all need those.Just an update, I have finished my flagyl and cipro treatment and am now just on the pred 60mg.I called the Dr yesterday and he told me stop the anti-biotics,even though I still have the pain in the ass,though not as bad as before. He also told me that once things are settled ,to do a colonoscopy in 4-5 months time.He told me that the pred would clear the inflamed area.I'm just concerned that without the anti-biotics the abscess will start acting up again.
I've been on the pred for 2 weeks now and my appetite is back and i'm eating a lot more,but it is not reflected on the scale, I still weigh the same as when I started the pred (60 kg).
This is such a great place for all of us ,the support is amazing,just to know there are people out there sharing similar experiences makes the burden bearable.
Thank you all so much

Using a wealth of business know-how to make lives better
Social entrepreneurs are supporting a growing number of business people in trying to improve social conditions
YOU ARE successful. You want to use your business skills for a new challenge and you have some sort of pet project to help people; you're on your way to being a social entrepreneur.
While most people understand the ideas behind philanthropy there is still a lot of confusion around the concept of a social entrepreneur, which is a shame because this rather cumbersome term describes a process which many people from the business world understand well.
"Social entrepreneurs are people with ideas, gumption and the ability to execute," says Annalisa O'Carroll of Social Entrepreneurs Ireland, an organisation funded by the reclusive 46-year-old philanthropist and Ryanair heir Declan Ryan.
The organisation helps business-minded people to build charitable organisations that apply the best elements of the business world to improve social conditions. While the ideas must come from individuals, Social Entrepreneurs Ireland offers help on issues such as finance, marketing, structure and HR policies.
"While many existing charities exist to help people, social entrepreneurs are typically impatient with the way they are run and their often bureaucratic nature," says Social Entrepreneurs Ireland's O'Carroll, a former technology entrepreneur who decided to switch to charity after doing an MBA at the Smurfit Business School.
"A lot of existing charities don't communicate very well and then there are charities that are just not very well run," she adds.
Poster boy
The poster boy for social entrepreneurs is Mohammed Yunus, a Bangladeshi banker and economist who developed the concept of micro credit or small loans to entrepreneurs, often women, too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans.
Yunus, who won the 2006 Nobel Prize for his efforts was one of the first people to understand the seeming paradox that the poor are often a better credit risk than the rich and used a small grant from the US-based Ford Foundation to found a bank which proves his point.
Here in Ireland, the number of social entrepreneurs is surging. One of them is Dubliner Victoria MacKechnie who left behind the world of finance and wealth management, including a stint in Anglo Irish Bank, to start Kids in the Kitchen, which teaches children to cook healthy meals.
She came across the idea while living in Australia but only acted on it when she was made redundant in November 2008. While teaching children about the importance of good food may seem a long way from finance, she says her experience in the financial world was a big help.
"Given my background, I had an appreciation of the importance of good house keeping and I didn't need an accountant," she remembers. While much of her salary comes from teaching her skills in private schools, her charitable mission extends to disadvantaged areas where the need for knowledge is greatest. Today, she says there is "no comparison" between her life in the financial sector and as a social entrepreneur. "I know it sounds like a cliche but I really enjoy what I'm doing now. It used to be a long slog from Monday to Friday. It's not like that anymore."
While many social entrepreneurs devote their waking hours to creating a new charity with a razor-sharp business focus, some business people use their knowledge to help other social entrepreneurs while staying in their existing jobs.
One of them is Keith Mangan, group head of risk at energy and waste company NTR. Mangan has been working for the past six months with Bike Pure, a business set up by competitive cyclist Myles McCorry to try and stamp out the doping scandals that seem to regularly bedevil cycling.
While the 36-year-old Mangan has little interest in cycling, he is interested in helping a business at the early stage and fascinated by Bike Pure's potential to spread to other countries and become a global player in the fight to keep cycling clean.
"You're helping somebody develop their dream, their business," says Mangan who attends about four two-hour board meetings a year and has some email correspondence with Bike Pure in between.
"You're acting as their adviser, you're going in as an outsider, giving your experience." Mangan is lucky; his employer NTR is an active supporter of Social Entrepreneurs Ireland both financially and by encouraging its staff to mentor social entrepreneurs but he would recommend anybody in business to consider doing something similar.
"You can add a lot to their business and get a lot from it," he says. "It's beyond charity. You are trying to develop a self-sufficient company providing a service."
While Social Entrepreneurs Ireland is based in a beautifully restored building on St Stephen's Green, Business in the Community Ireland operates out of grittier offices next door to sex toy shop Ann Summers on the capital's O'Connell Street.
"Our purpose is to inspire, engage, support and challenge companies to continually improve the impact they have on society, specifically in the community, environment, marketplace and workplace," says founder and chief executive Tina Roche, a former financial controller at the 'Sunday Tribune' newspaper.
The non-profit works with hundreds of companies nationwide through social inclusion programmes, which include a Schools-Business Partnership that links schools and business nationwide, an employment and training programme for criminals who have served their time and an employment and training programme for homeless people.
It also sponsors the Philanthropist of the Year Awards, which have been won previously by Declan Ryan, Limerick currency speculator and gambler JP McManus, and Kilkenny-based developer Niall Mellon whose foundation builds houses in South Africa.
While awards such as this highlight large-scale giving, Ms Roche's organisation spends much of its time helping families and individuals to give money effectively. She mentions a family that Business in the Community Ireland recently helped when the five members decided to set up a €7m foundation.
Business in the Community helps the individual family members to pick worthy recipients for the money which reflect each family member's interests.
The youngest child is interested in sports while the mother has a particular interest in autism, she says. The donations mirror this. "A lot of people want to ensure that their children are not too materialistic," she says. "They don't want to raise a Paris Hilton."
While foundations such as these are bolstering the level of giving in Ireland, philanthropy remains at an embryonic stage in Ireland and the wind-down of two great foundations, the Declan Ryan's One Foundation and Chuck Feeney's Atlantic Philanthropies by 2020 could leave the country with even fewer big private donors although the Iris O'Brien foundation will remain significant, Ms Roche says.
While the world of foundations and social entrepreneurs is important, it is far removed from the lives of many people who would like to give something back to their community.
Ms Roche believes the best approach remains the same even if the scale of giving is different. "Don't wait for somebody to approach you in the street," she advises.
"Take a look around your town or village and see what needs to be done. Perhaps it is footballs for your local youth club or flowers to spruce up your village. How many times have you walked past something and thought it needs help or improvement?"
