I think my DH gave me the go ahead to start TTC #2. Although it was super unclear and kind of funny. After I had my first ppaf, he said to me, "I don't know about DTD tonight, you could get pregnant." And I said, ah, not likely since it is day 7 of my cycle (guys, lol). Then I said, I'll buy you some condoms and you can prevent to your heart's content. And he said, no I don't want to use condoms. So, I said, well, we can do NFP, I'll just tell you when I'm fertile and you can make a decision as to what you want to do (since I'm ready to go). And he said, no, I already hear too much about your cycle. So, I said, I could use code like "green light, red light." But, he didn't like that either. So, I said well, what should we do? And he said, I guess there really isn't anything to do. And I said, well then we might get pregnant. And he said, yeah, I know. So, sounds like we are ready to go? I feel pretty comfortable, b/c he would firmly state his opinion if he were against it. I guess I can be moved to the whatever-ing list.
I didn't ovulate before my first ppaf, do you all think I may not ovulate for awhile? Is that something that happens? I can't even say I would have a regular cycle. But, I'm here waiting ....it has to come back sometime, and I'll be ready.
AFM - I'm still around. Waiting to be ready with only 2 months before we're in the clear, so to speak, to ttc. Starting November 1st will no longer have to worry about the "not to enter 24 weeks of gestation" rule imposed by the cruiseline that we will be sailing in April. Annnyway. Last month I went to my ob to see what he'd say about my ridiculously short LP and he prescribed me 1 cycle worth of prometrium (10 days). Knowing that I am waiting to TTC until November I thought it was beyond strange that he'd have me take the one cycle of pills now and not again...Anyway, I had a decent 11 day LP with some spotting though. I hope next month is better. AF is here right now and is crazy heavy. *sigh*
ahhh to be able to think well enough to create a clever signature. someday i will have enough sleep to accomplish this task...

Tourist: my DD was born in January '09 at home too!!
Daisy420--thanks I feel like there is a high probability of a BFP soon I took a couple of hpt that were negative, partly hoping, but mostly I wanted to confirm that I did not get pregnant from the earlier potential ovulation date (I am almost positive that I ovulated around CD24), but wanted to make sure. With my adjusted o-date I am now 12dpo and impatiently waiting. I did take a HPT this morning that was negative But I know that I am not out. I didn't test with DD until about 4 or 5 days past my expected period. I think that my chart might be showing a triphasic pattern, which would be awesome and a good indicator. I'm trying not to obsess too much and plan to test again on Friday.
Here is some to help with ovulation and sticky vibes for us all!

Good luck earth-mama!
AFM, after carrying a tampon in my pocket all day yesterday waiting for AF, I tested on a whim and got a BFP!!! Confirmed it today too.
Now today, I'm nauseous as heck, my sinuses are going nuts, and I have a headache, and heartburn. (These are all early pregnancy signs for me.) It's amazing how fast they come on! I feel terrible and I couldn't be happier about it!
Mom to 5 amazing kids! (DS10, DS8, DD5, DD3 and DS1)
Congrats jr'smom!! How many DPO were you when you got your positive?
AF is supposed to start Sunday and I'm on CD24 today. I tested this morning and BFN. I guess technically I'm not out but I feel like I am! We BD'd CD 14 and 16 (no temping) and I'm guessing I'm about 10dpo today. With my son I got a negative at 10dpo and positive at 12dpo on dollar store tests (didn't test on day 11 somehow!). Since I used a FRER this morning I think it should've shown if I was pg =(.
tourist - the countdown is on, Nov 1 will be here before we know it.
Earth mama - your chart looks amazing! Shall be stalking & can't wait to see your next HPT results
Jr's Mom - CONGRATS!
Nolliesmama - don't lose hope yet. I didn't get a positive, even with an FRER, until much later than that in my first pregnancy. Maybe it's a girl (baby) thing? (I've heard this anecdotally, but don't know whether it's the reason)
I am now 3 DPO, can tell already it's going to be a long 2ww. Thankfully my sister & nieces are coming xcountry for a visit, and I have a client due any day....should keep me distracted for a few days
AFM- 3-6 DPO (FF couldn't pinpoint to one day). I had some major discomfort/pain in my pelvic area (see "Confused..." yesterday. After taking a nap today it's a little better, but I think some pelvic rest may help. IDK when I'm gonna test. I may just wait till I'm nauseous (typical tell-tale sign for me).
Me: DH: DD: DS1: DS2:
Trying for ds was so heartbreaking & bittering (is that a word). I thought it would be different this time - & I guess in a way it is different, but I'm finding each cycle is getting harder & harder. Now all the people I know with 2 year olds are all pregnant or have newborns in their arms & it's constant. Yesterday there were 3 newborns at the drop-in play centre we frequent & 3 pregnant bellies. It's just never ending.
It's strange too 'cause I'm finding more & more I look at ds in amazement that he is even here 'cause it feels so impossible to get pregnant. Sigh.
I'm going to call tomorrow & book a new appt with the dr. to start back on the clomid. I was feeling pretty positive I had o'd but I'm still not getting higher temps so I suspect my body simply tried to o but didn't quite succeed.

Have any of you nursing mamas had a missed period and then cramps begin after a nursing spurt by DC?
I'm trying to nightwean so I can TTC. Have been TTCing last month as well. DS hasn't nursed all night for the past 10 days. I finally gave in to nursing last night at 3am because I am incredibly sleep deprived from his waking all week. Yesterday and last night he had a huge nursing spurt. The cramps started every time he nursed since 4am.
Im not sure when AF was due, but I think I ovulated on Aug 13. I guess if AF was due this week, the cramps would be normal. But is there a reason why they would come during nursing? I thought nursing held off AF... And I was hoping for a potential BFP in 2 days. And wondering if the nursing spurt is causing AF to come and ruin my BFP...
Wife to - Mama to DS 6/08 and DS 9/11
AFM- Temps keep rising. FF gave me crosshairs on CD 18, but I don't agree... CD14-17 I had EWCM, but CD14 was my dip and CD15 I definitely felt O pain. Could the coverline be messed up because I didn't temp till CD12? The pain is down today, I think resting my pelvis (no BD) may have helped. I've decided to not test until I'm nauseous.

Maybe I will join this thread in the next few cycles. I have been lurking here for months, but didn't want to get too obsessive about TTC... Well, I think I already have, so you may see me here in a few weeks...

lifeguard - Hang in there, it will happen again for you
Well, I had my appointment with the OBGYN yesterday. She wants me to start using a OPK and then when I get the +, she wants me to go 6 days later and get a progesterone level, a prolactin level and my thyroid checked. If the progesterone level is not great then, she wants me to repeat it 2 days later (so 8 days after I get a + on the OPK) She doesn't think that the amount I nurse would have any effect on my chances conceiving.
If my progesterone levels are nto up to par, she said she would prescribe prometrium. Im not sure how I feel about taking pharmaceuticals. I am a very naturally minded mama, and pretty much hate drugs of all kinds. I asked her about the bioidentical creams as I would feel much better about that than taking drugs, but she said they do not maintain serum levels and in short, doesn't think they are very effective at all. I guess I just I don't know how far I'm willing to go to have another LO. Still working that out in my head. I told her I was taking vitex and she just shrugged and said ok, it may help, it may not. Same with the B6.
Do any of you ladies use OPK? I'm trying not to get too ahead of myself and just take this 1 step at a time. SIGH

Marnica~So sorry ur going through this, and I hope that these tests will shed some light for you and get you on ur way to a bfp!!!
As for those in the 2ww, becca, peaches'mom, nolliesmama, becky, lifeguard, and those I missed..........I'm willing a to all of you and myself of course hehehehehe .
lifeguard~Sorry ur feeling down right now, and I'm sure its hard on you with all those newborns and pg bellies around I hope the clomid will do the trick for you next cycle, that is if ur not pg now .
FF puts me at 3 dpo!!! so please move me to 2ww please...I'll be testing sept 3rd I believe if no af by then since I only have 1 hpt in the house. I'll be 12 dpo.
Marnica - I use the opk. I do find it nice to get back up to the other tracking methods I'm using. Somehow it seems a little more definitive than checking my cervix.

I am trying really hard not to go crazy about ttc but it is soooo hard to not....
Jr'smom~YAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!! Big congrats to you!!!! How old is your LO (I see u said one year, but just curious?)
Our first two are 19 months apart, then 2 1/2 years before the third came along, so this one will be just slightly less of a gap.

South African Airways won "Airline of the Year" award, as well as "Best Airline to Africa" and "Best Business Class White Wine", at Global Traveler magazine's annual awards gala in Los Angeles last week.
The magazine cited SAA as a "perennial favorite" among its readers and the "perfect representative of South AfricaÂ's personality, promise and culture".
It also added that SAA "is a standout in all aspects of the industry".
Executive Vice President of North America Todd Neuman was joined by fellow SAA executives, as well as a representative from the Consulate General of South Africa and key travel industry and corporate partners to receive the award.
"South African Airways would like to thank the Global Traveler Year Committee for the great honour of being named "Airline of the Year". We would also like to thank the readers of the magazine for voting SAA as "Best Airline in Africa"," Neuman said.
"These awards, plus the "Best White Wine International Business Class" are indicative that our efforts are working."
Enhancements to onboard products
Global TravelerÂ's recognition of SAA as "Best White Wine International Business Class" was for the Driehoek Sauvignon Blanc 2011, chosen by SAA and a panel of international judges during the airlineÂ's annual comprehensive wine selection process, which is meant to showcase South African wines throughout the globe.
"Enhancements have been made to our onboard product for Premium Business Class customers, with added comfort to our flat-bed Premium Business Class seats, new menu choices from South African star chefs, expanded entertainment options and our award-winning South African wine cellar in the sky," Neuman said.
"Our enhancements in these areas will continue, as we strive to offer the fastest, most convenient and comfortable service to Africa for both business and leisure customers."
South African Airways has also introduced new service to cities such as Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo, Abidjan in Ivory Coast and Cotonou in Benin, among other cities that it has added to its already-extensive route network on the African continent.
It is also featuring meal selections from South African star chefs, first with Chef Reuben Riffel, and now with Chef Benny Masekwameng, a judge on South AfricaÂ's Master Chef TV series.
"Congratulations to South African Airways for being named 2012 Airline of the Year," said Globe Traveler's publisher and chief executive officer, Francis X. Gallagher.
"I couldn't agree more with the decision of our Advisory Board in selecting the airline.
"The product, service and onboard amenities are among the best in the industry and the award-winning South African Airways is absolutely a leader in the marketplace," he said.

Jeanette Hopkins has been a classroom and environmental educator for over twenty years. She began her teaching career in a class one (rural) school and most recently taught at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. She is a past member of the Iowa Writing Project Advisory Board and is a Nationally Board Certified Teacher in the area of Middle Childhood Generalist. She has a keen appreciation for the delight young readers have for rhythm and rhyme and hopes that readers of all ages will find the music in The LadyBug Waltz and the magic in The Juggler.
The LadyBug Waltz came about as Jeanette sat with her granddaughter, Chloe, as she was undergoing one of five open heart surgeries. Jeanette sang the song to Chloe every night as an assurance to the next day. The Juggler was created when Jeanette purchased a print of a colorful juggler in Outside the Lines Art Gallery in Dubuque, Iowa. The artist, Stormy Mochal, was the co-owner of the store and had created wonderful and whimsical drawings of magical people. Jeanette began writing the story and within a few months, contacted Stormy and their relationship began!
Jeanette and her husband are environmental writers and enjoy "day tripping" throughout the states. In past few years, they have developed a series of road trips, where young grandchildren have learned to appreciate nature and develop a respect for the natural world. Jeanette's husband, Bruce, is currently writing a book centered on those day trips. They share environmental experiences with teachers and environmental educators in workshops throughout the United States.
Since 2009, Jeanette and her husband have been available for classroom presentations and have shared writing experiences with children in classrooms of all ages. They have traveled throughout the United States, worked with over 25,000 students and in over 140 schools. During the 2011-2012 school year, the original illustrations for The Juggler will be matted and framed for special exhibits throughout Iowa.
Jeanette states on both books, "The rhythm in each book assists in reading development. I'd really like to see experience, rhythm and rhyme back in the daily routine of the classroom…I read in classrooms and try to select books that immediately engage the children and allow them to be part of the experience…..very transactional." Both books utilize integrated language structures such as alliteration and personification. Teachers can implement mini-lessons centered around the format of each book.

American Idol
Jennifer Hudson Shows Off Her Slim Figure on the February 2012 Cover of Good Housekeeping
Talk about an inspiration!
Jennifer Hudson, who has dropped — and kept off — a whopping 80 pounds via Weight Watchers, is lookin' damn good as Good Housekeeping's February 2012 cover girl.
In an interview with the ladies mag, the 30-year-old American Idol alum gushed about her new figure: "I feel like a doll that I get to dress up! It's crazy. They have to drag me off the red carpet! Because now it's like, 'You're going to take a picture of what I'm wearing? You're looking at me?' I live for it."
But what finally kicked Jennifer off the couch and into high gear? Giving birth to her son, David Jr., in 2009. "Motherhood brought tremendous responsibilities — but none greater than the obligation I felt to get healthy and be there for my son," she explained. "David deserved to have a mama who could run after him without getting winded or getting tired, to have a role model who could teach him to make healthy food choices."
She continued, "What's funny is that [David Jr. has] never known me overweight. If he sees a clip of the old Jennifer from Dreamgirls, he doesn't know who it is." Kid, that's your mom — she killed it as Effie!
For more on Jennifer's weight-loss battle, pick up her new book: I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down.

Flt. Capt. George Mike Mukula is a rock star politician. The Soroti Municipality MP is flamboyant in dress and lifestyle, in good and in tough times and his recent conviction by the Anti-corruption Court, which has generated so much debate and attracted opinions from all corners, is not about to change that.
Mukula was the only suspect found guilty after a seven year court process involving the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) funds scandal.
His conviction has attracted criticism for the trial magistrate for alleged "selective judgment". This accusation is mainly based on Mukula's three co-accused; former minister of Health Jim Muhwezi, former minister of State for Health Alex Kamugisha, and former State House employee, Alice Kaboyo, being let off.
Court found that Muhwezi and Kamugisha "have no case to answer", whereas Kaboyo, who pleaded guilty to the charges of making an official document without authorisation, abuse office and uttering a false document, was fined Shs 20 million.
Inspector General of Government (IGG) lawyer Sydney Asubo, who led the prosecution, told The Independent that allegations of selective judgment are "an absolutely baseless and irritating accusation".
"Mukula was also found to have no case to answer in respect of offences he was jointly charged with the others," Asubo said adding that this point has been missed by some who are criticising the judgment.
Mukula was convicted of embezzlement and found to have no case to answer in respect of two counts; abuse of office and causing financial loss.
Asubo told The Independent: "Mukula confessed to the crime but then he thinks just because he handed over the money, the court should forgive him or the Chief Magistrate should be lenient with him and reduce on the sentence, like they did for Alice Kaboyo. Under the law of embezzlement when convicted of the punishment has to be more than 10 years but the chief Magistrate Irene Akankwasa has been lenient with him to give him four years that is because when the suspect convicted pays back the money he / she should be given three or four years of imprisonment".
Mukula, a former state minister for health, was found guilty of having wrongly received and misappropriated Shs 210 million meant for government projects under GAVI.
The prosecution led by Asubo told court: "Under the law misusing money meant for official government business is equivalent to stealing, which I highly believe Mukula did."
Asubo told court that at the start of the investigations in 2006 evidence pointed to Mukula having received and used the money for purposes other than those for which he said he requisitioned it for.
Details of the case were that sometime in 2004 during an HIV/AIDS workshop in Entebbe, the First Lady Janet Museveni pledged money to her audience to fund HIV/AIDS sensitisation workshops or conferences in various districts.
Mukula, who was then-minister of State for Health told her that she could get money from the GAVI funds.
Mukula and then-minister of Health Jim Muhwezi were involved in the authorisation of the money. Mukula, according to documents presented in court, signed for Shs 263,855,000. The documents also showed that Muhwezi received Shs 54 million of this money from Mukula for the Office of the First Lady. Mukula, the prosecution said, retained Shs 210 million.
Asubo told court: "(When) asked where he kept the Shs 210 million he (Mukula) never responds to the question".
Defense Witness Lydia Nalwadda told court that Mukula signed for the money but he and Muhwezi did not receive it. She said she kept the Shs 210 million in "the safe in office" and did not say in whose office and who had the keys to the safe.
Nalwadda told court that they later re-banked the money in four installments over a year from the time the Inspector General of Government (IGG) initiated investigations into the GAVI funds and some of the banking were made Mukula's personal assistant.
"It is a contradiction Hon. Mukula and his witnesses cannot explain. Their action contradicts their testimony that he did not receive any money but signed for it, when asked in court why he was re- banking the money in installments he still did not respond to the question, which leads to only one reasonable conclusion that he stole or embezzled the money."
Mukula has appealed his conviction in the High Court and a ruling has been set for March 13.
Whether his conviction is upheld or not, top lawyers that spoke to The Independent say Mukula's woes are partly results of legal technicalities and political machinations.
A senior lawyer who declined to be named told The Independent that, as a rule, "the government will continue to lose corruption cases as long as the witnesses that come to testify are junior to the accused". "Did you expect those junior officers from the Ministry of health to take the stand and pin their former bosses who are still holding influential positions in the ruling government? That is an illusion."
As the National Vice Chairman (Eastern Region) of the ruling NRM party, Mukula is also a top official. So why was he convicted?
Some critics blame the cross-examining strategy of Mukula's defense team.
"They were quarrelling with and annoying witnesses," one lawyer told The Independent," Some of the witnesses that pinned Mukula were those that were rattled by his lawyers."
Asked how he managed to keep his client from being sent to prison, Kaboyo's lawyer, Bob Kasango, told The Independent "the court doesn't always have to send all convicted persons to jail."
"The circumstances of each case have to been taken into account. In this case, we engaged in extensive and comprehensive plea bargaining over a period of over one year. Plea bargaining is not a common element of criminal trials in Uganda and so it is understandable that some sections of the public do not appreciate the sentence.
"We went through the prosecution case and our own case. We went through the hundreds of pages of evidence and evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of either side and came to the conclusion that the IGG would not succeed on some charges. We agreed to drop the charges we found were not supported by evidence and pleaded guilty to those that were very strong against us.
"It is against this background that Ms. Kaboyo pleaded guilty and it was another uphill task convincing the trial magistrate not to prefer a custodial sentence. We had to make a very strong case that I believe we did. It was that transparent and there was no involvement of any external forces or third party influence as has been intimated".
But the accusations of political interference in Mukula's case refuse to go away.
Nuwe Amanya Mushega, former senior cabinet minister and bush war veteran, now senior opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party official says "in Uganda, there is a problem of selective prosecution and selective protection."
"For things to work out the politics should first of all be sorted out because it has influenced a lot in everyday social affairs".
"No one is not pressured by the politics going on, which contradicts with a person's integrity whether they succumb to it or not," Mushega said.
"I don't support corruption but I would defend Mukula in court, because I don't want him to be used as a sacrificial lamb, yet the others in the same case were left to go scot free,|" says MP Odonga Otto (Aruu county, Pader district). Odonga Otto says Mukula needs political lawyers to defend him.

… You need to have your own lane…
This is both funny and sad at the same time. I am all for multi-tasking, but not to this extreme!
Lead Generation Tips And Ideas For Small Business Owners
… You need to have your own lane…
This is both funny and sad at the same time. I am all for multi-tasking, but not to this extreme!
Have a quick look at this interesting perspective on the state of cyber crime.
Boaz Fischer is a graduate of our Platinum Program.
Since the Internet arrived in our lives in the 1990s, few would have realised then how far it would eventually infiltrate our daily activities.
And whilst it has undoubtedly provided many convenient functions by allowing us to socialise with friends, and shop for products in a digital environment, many are concerned that the time we spend online might be having a negative effect on how we live our lives.
According to a report made by research company Nielsen in 2013, it seems that the average Australian is spending more and more time online. In fact, it is thought that it is commonplace to find that many users now spend the equivalent of one day per week on the Internet.
This figure is mirrored by the fact that laptop ownership in Australia has significantly increased from 33% to 77% in the past ten years.
And although the use of desktop computers has decreased slightly from 80% to 72%, it is thought that there is now a growing trend for 'dual-screening', where people now use mobile devices in conjunction with the more traditional computer interfaces.
The increased use of technology has mirrored the massively expanded range of applications that now exist within the digital domain.
One of the most notable trends in the past decade is the rise of social media sites. Research shows that seven out of ten Australians are now actively engaged in social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
The rise of social applications for entertainment is equalled by the huge growth in gaming sites that now offer a convenient way for people to spend their time. Now mobile users can play complex strategy games like Minecraft from just about any location, and likewise the incredible rise of online gambling sites like www.spinpalace.com have facilitated an entire new industry to blossom out of our desire to play a variety of games from the comfort of our mobile device.
Whilst the massive range of online options from researching travel options to purchasing the latest products with a click of a button may have many instantly identifiable benefits, there are a few warnings to consider too.
News stories like those published on news.com.au point to the fact that the increased time spent online can lead to a variety of sleeping disorders, low self-esteem and depression. Furthermore, the potential exposure to pornography can disturb normal sexual development in children in alarming ways.
So like any other activity, the overruling guidelines for internet use should be to participate sensibly, and in moderation.
Just when you thought you were getting on top of your SEO, rankings… Google changes the rules yet again.
This time it's to optimise search for mobile devices.

I have talked about Privacy Pirates before…
This video is worth the 3 minutes – but I have to warn you, it's more than a little upsetting what THEY KNOW…
Knowing what the best practices are when it comes to creating effective mobile marketing can seem incredibly complicated and rather daunting to a newcomer. This is especially true if you're someone who runs a small business and can't afford to hire a person to take care of it all for you. What are the dos and don'ts of mobile marketing?
Knowing the recipient of your mobile marketing is crucial to generate engagement. Make metrics and analytics your BFFs. They will tell you a lot about a person from some very basic data collection. More than ever, the same tools you use for mass marketing can now give you detailed information about the demographics of individual recipients.
For example, thanks to developments in SMS technology, companies that deliver mobile marketing tools (see the SMSGlobal website for an example) can now provide you details about who is reading (or ignoring) your messages.
Using the SMS data might tell you that the vast percentage of your online customers are using a particular smartphone or mobile browser to browse and purchase your products. You should definitely use that information to create a user experience that makes using your site or app much easier on those specific devices or browsers. The smoother the experience, the more likely it is customers will return.
A startling amount of people don't really understand the difference between apps and mobile websites. These are very different ways of solving a specific problem. Creating an app for your mobile marketing allows you to target customers using very specific platforms and refining the experience for those devices.
Mobile websites are exactly that: sites that have been designed for use on a smartphone. In both cases, text should be kept to a minimum – communicate in short, clear phrases. You want to get the message across FAST.
81% Of all purchases made on a smartphone or mobile device are driven by spontaneity. That means, if your marketing's call-to-action can tempt a customer into looking at the item on your online store, your interface needs to lead naturally and quickly to the checkout screen (shopping cart). Reducing as many steps in the purchasing process is a great way to increase sales.
When you think about receiving marketing yourself, what's your least favourite thing about it?
Many people hate the invasiveness of certain kinds of marketing. Mobile marketing can certainly be classed as invasive. You're muscling your way onto someone's private phone screen. If you want them to take time out of their day to pay attention to your message, you have to be respectful and value-driven.
When in doubt, always err on the side of a conservative approach. The last thing you want is to stir up a dust storm of controversy on social media sites!

If you've got your own business, you'll know by now the importance of maintaining relationships with your customers. You may feel it's a challenge to devote time to each customer as your client base increases as your company grows, yet you still need to effectively communicate and respond to all their needs.
You are not alone. Every business struggles with this dilemma. Luckily, technology most likely has a solution to help re-connect you with your clients.
Here are some tips on using technology to improve customer/client relationships.
There's a perception that phones are no longer trendy. Many small businesses think the only way to reduce costs is to spend as little as possible on phone systems, forgetting that a good system is essential to their business. There are so many options: Multi-channel phone systems, call/contact centre technology, mobile and tablet video conferencing, VoIP… there's definitely something that suits your needs and fits your budget.
To get the best advice about what system would work for your business, it's best to speak with a company that specialises in small business phone systems, such as Com2.
Many companies make the common mistake of using technology or software, to try to create a NEW customer experience, rather than enhance or improve an existing one. Often, the focus is on the technology instead of making the customer's experience better.
First, you need to define what your 'customer experience' is (this is a lot harder than it sounds!) then identify the tools and/or software you need to make it better. Don't fall into the common trap of moulding your strategy around the latest technological fad.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools are a great way to manage all communications and data involving your customers. A CRM will enable you to analyse your customers so you can target them more precisely in your marketing campaigns. This will save you time and money and improve your results. If you don't have a CRM system in place, you are about a decade behind… Literally stuck in the 1990′s.
I doubt you can survive the remainder of this decade without a CRM. Sorry, but that's the way of the world – innovate or perish. There is no excuse – CRM systems are affordable and web-based, so technologically easy to implement.
There are many ways to create interactivity on your website. One option is to have online survey tools to solicit input and feedback that can help you enhance your customer experience. You can send e-newsletters, provide feedback forms and keep your list of FAQs current with audio and video explanations.
Everyone's going social these days, so why don't you? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest are all free (unless you wish to pay to advertise through them), accessible and widely relied upon by the majority of the population. If you have a consumer client base it would be unwise not to use them. With social media you can easily keep people up to date and inform them of new products, recent achievements and upcoming events. Many businesses also use these networks as a base for promotions or competitions that keep their customers coming back for more.
Customers expect a high level of service. By staying current and utilising these various technologies, you'll be able to personalise your service to each customer, thus creating a meaningful relationship that will keep them loyal on a long term basis.

Abuja — Coach Samson Siasia named his 21-man team yesterday for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt, with Kano Pillars midfielder Muhammed Shagari, Rabiu Ibrahim and former Golden Eaglets captain Lukman Haruna making the team.
The list made available to reporters yesterday also has 2007 FIFA U-17 wining-goalkeepers Oladele Ajiboye and Uche Okafor with Olateru Oladapo to vie for the team's safe hand position.
In defence are Oluwasina Abe, Nurudeen Orelesi, Obiora Nwankwo, Ibok Edet, Raheen Lawal, Daniel Adejo; while King Osanga, Yakubu Alfa, Ikande Harmony are the other midfielders.
The team's marksmen are Odion Ighalo, Kehinde Fatai, Danny Uchechi, Omatsone Aluko, Stanley Ohawuchi and Gbolahan Salami. The Flying Eagles are to fly out of Spain tomorrow to challenge for the ultimate marble at the 17th FIFA U-20 World Cup taking place in Egypt from 24th September to 16th October.
Runners -up in 1989 and 2005, Nigeria are lumped in Group B of this year's tournament alongside Spain, Venezuela and Tahiti.
Nigeria's Head Coach, Samson Siasia, who coached the class of 2005 that lost in the final to Argentina, and also led the U-23 team to Olympic silver in Beijing last year looks to go all the way in the three-week soccer fiesta.
"We have confidence and we have the players to do us proud. The training camps in Qatar and Spain have helped the team greatly and we are heading to Egypt believing we can conquer", said Siasia, a former World Cup star. The Flying Eagles have spent the last 18 days in a training camp in Mallorca, Spain and on Saturday forced Honduras U-20 team to a 1-1 draw in a friendly game in Alicante. Nigeria's first match is against Venezuela at the Al Salam Stadium, Cairo on September 25, before they play Spain on September 28. Their final group phase game is against Tahiti, the Oceania champions at the expansive Cairo International Stadium on Nigeria's Independence Day.

Potatoes are a common addition to many dishes and they are perhaps one of a few vegetables that are most commonly prepared in the kitchen. The preparation technique for potatoes is fairly simple and generally begins with a peeler, but completing this task quickly and efficiently can depend on the style and type of peeler that you have.
At Gourmet Kitchenware we offer a range of peelers to suit your needs and budget range. We also offer a range of styles from the traditional long and thin style to a Y peeler and even a swivel peeler which can be bought in both right and left handed designs.
Our traditional peelers can be used on a whole range of vegetables including potatoes, carrots, suedes and many more. In addition our good grips range is make from a durable rubber material which helps to ensure that your grip does not slip and potentially injure you during the peeling process.

Renewed skirmishing in the battle over the state of British science broke out in Southampton this week. Ben Martin of the University of Sussex, who has been charting a decline in British science, remains as far as ever from agreement with his fiercest critic, Terence Kealey.
Kealey, a biochemist at the University of Cambridge, maintained that British research was doing well, held back only by too much government spending on science. 'The UK should not imitate the science policies of discredited regimes such as those of Hitler and Stalin,' he said.
Meanwhile, Martin countered that Kealey's arguments were selective, misleading and in places defied belief. Government funding for science is lower in Britain than in other European countries. 'The great weight of evidence points to a relative decline in British science,' he said.
Martin first raised the alarm in 1984 when he found that papers published by British researchers had ...

These are the most comfortable and durable socks I have ever purchased.

interviewBy Nahimah Ajikanle Nurudeen
Lagos — Dr. Emmanuel Ekuwem is the Chairman of Teledom Group, an indigenous Information and Communication Technology company. He is a former President of the Association of Telecommunications Company of Nigeria (ATCON). In this interview, he spoke on how ICT could be used to tame insurgency in the country as well as advance the overall economic fortune of the people. Excerpts
There is clamour for ubiquitous broadband access. In what ways do you think Nigeria can develop beneficial digital local contents?
We must create content within the broadband pipes. This is very important. We cannot just be downloading all the time, we must also be uploading. We must have a cultural presence on the net. Excessive downloading without commensurate uploading can lead to cultural imperialism and digital colonies. We cannot afford that. Applications will create demand for broadband. We have tele-medicine and tele-health, we have video-conferencing, we have tele-education/distance learning and we have the need to automate teaching and learning processes in the academic institutions in Nigeria. How many classrooms in our educational institutions are smart? Have we made teaching and learning exciting, using ICT?
How can ICT/broadband improve security in Nigeria? We can have ICT-based automation of processes in the Nigeria Police Force, Army, Navy, Air Force, Customs, Immigration, NDLEA, Prisons, State Security Service, Road safety, and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence, among others. Have you ever seen a Nigerian Policeman bend over his laptop to have access to a criminal database to know whether the suspect is a serial offender? Do we have Gamma ray-based scanning of vehicles, VACIS, on our roads and highways to detect bombs, explosives, arms, ammunitions, light weapons and dangerous chemicals with local and remote display of scan outputs using broadband? All these acts of terrorism in our country are perpetrated by human beings who transport their terrorist equipment and tools with impunity undetected.
A good deal of citizen-to-government and government-to-citizen interactions can be done online. We are still having government-to-government, government-to-business and business-to-government interactions being done via time-consuming paper pushing. The Nigerian Communications Commission has to tidy up its broadband penetration model for public presentation in the first quarter of this year.
So, what can government do to increase ICT penetration in 2013 and beyond?
I guess by ICT penetration you mean both ICT infrastructure and ICT services. The question is what kind of services? I am sure you mean broadband services. Broadband services will flow through broadband infrastructure. What do we do to ensure rapid broadband infrastructure penetration of every nook and cranny of Nigeria so that broadband services can flow through? We need massive broadband infrastructure roll out across the entire length and breadth of Nigeria. We have Main One Cable's 1.92 terabits/sec broadband as well as those of Glo One, SAT3 and WASC at the coast. We must get these to the hinterland of Nigeria. We need massive roll out of fibre optic cables, broadband wireless (radio and light-laser) and broadband VSAT to carry terabits/sec broadband capacity from the coast into the hinterland. We cannot afford digital divides in Nigeria. There is a very close correlation between broadband capacity available to a nation, a people, a state and the level of their economic activities and productivity. The World Bank has established the fact that broadband penetration increases GDP of nations much higher than narrowband (like voice). Our voice-centric telecoms revolution has impacted positively on many lives in Nigeria and has given a boost to economic growth rate. You can imagine what will happen when we go broadband in full blast.
We need what I call secondary and tertiary fibre-based broadband backbone across the country. Let the secondary connect the state capitals to Main One, and Glo One, among others, and let the tertiary connect the local government headquarters to the state capitals. A lot of resources will be required to do that. We must have fibre to the buildings and fibre to the homes. We must have city-wide and town-wide WiFi coverage. All schools, colleges, polytechnics, universities, hospitals, hotels, airports, stadia, places of worship (churches and mosques), government offices, and military establishments, among others must have broadband Internet. We must create demand for broadband services.
What direction do you see the ICT industry to take in the New Year?
I can say that 2012 was a year of talk, talk and talk. By 'talk' here I mean very good talk. In 2013 we must begin to walk the talk. We had many stakeholders' fora on the ICT policy. The Presidential Committee on Broadband was constituted and inaugurated by the president. We had the e-Nigeria Conference and Exhibition on local content development in Nigeria. It is time to act on decisions arrived at in those events. We must launch the ICT policy as well as have the report of the Presidential Committee on Broadband released. We will deliberate on the report and have same updated for action by the presidency and the relevant agencies of government and the ICT industry. In summary, in 2013 we must go the way of use and deployment of Nigerian content in the ICT industry. We need an enabling act like the Local Content Bill of the Petroleum industry. We must aggressively pursue rapid broadband infrastructure penetration of Nigeria as well as generation of demand for broadband service delivery. We must create content. We must develop applications in all sectors of the economy such as education, health, agriculture, defence, national security, law enforcement, government, electoral processes, population, transportation, hospitality and entertainment, among others.
We have had a narrowband voice revolution from 2000/2001 to date. The next revolution, that will make a child's play out of the voice, is broadband revolution. This will accelerate our economic growth and development as well as increase our Gross Domestic Product.
How best can government increase the lot of telecom operators in the country?
By government, I guess you mean the Federal Government. In fact all governments should encourage the telecoms operators to provide good quality of service. First, we need constant electric power supply in our country. Telecoms business is not that of energy generation. We spend a hell of time, money and energy to generate electricity for our operations in the industry. It makes business not sufficiently profitable. Government should do its bit and allow us concentrate on our niche which is telecoms service delivery. Epileptic power supply negatively affects quality of service. Federal, State and Local governments must work in concert to eliminate multiple taxation, which operators suffer from. Access to telecoms cell sites in some parts of the country is nightmarish, as there are serious security challenges. Cell sites are vandalised in some parts of the country. There are right of way issues in some states where the fees are terribly exorbitant. I would prefer the states do a perpetual charge regime in which an operator pays annually to renew the right-of-way. The fee in such a situation is very little. That reduces the capital outlay needed by an operator to start or expand business in the state concerned. This augurs well for network expansion, increase in capacity to reduce congestion and sundry issues that impair quality of service. This regime is better, in the long term, than the one time high fees charged by the governments. This brings them perpetual revenue while aiding ICT development in their states.
We need a Broadband Development Fund to build what I had earlier referred to as secondary and tertiary fibre backbone. NigComSat has to quickly roll-out its broadband network across Nigeria. In fact, I expect NigComSat to give this a priority attention this year.

He writes: "The concept is of a game that teaches principles of robotics but with a twist- you will learn to program robots but you will also have the use of tools that literally evolve the software. Using evolution to sort out and improve programs through natural selection is something that has been done only on a limited scale so far. I have written a program that allows anyone to try their hand at it." More info here.

I am soon going to be starting to do YouTube videos and things like that. Most of the time I will be using my Vlog camera so it's not an issue.
Though sometimes, I will want to use my Logitech HD C920 webcam to do recordings. What is the best free recording software, and the best paid software?
I don't need anything special, just record in full HD quality.
Though in the future I may want to do live streams (way down the road though) so if that software can incorporate those options as well, that would be nice.

Montana State Trooper
In most of the United States there is a policy of
checking on any stalled vehicles on the highway when
temperatures drop to single digits or below. About
3am one very cold morning, a Montana State Trooper
responded to a call there was a car off the shoulder
of the road. He located the car, stuck deep in the
snow with the engine still running. Pulling in behind
the car with his emergency lights on, the trooper walked
to the drivers door to find an older man passed out
behind the wheel with a nearly half empty bottle
of vodka on the seat beside him. The driver came awake
when the trooper tapped on the window. Seeing the
rotating lights in his mirror, and the trooper standing
next to his car, the man panicked. He jerked the gear-
shift into 'drive' and hit the gas.
The car speedometer was showing 20-30-40 and then
50 MPH, but it was still stuck in the snow, wheels
spinning. The trooper, Having a sense of humor, began
running in place next to the speeding (but stationary)
car. The driver was totally freaked out. This goes on
for about 30 seconds, then the trooper yelled "PULL OVER"
The man nodded, turned his wheel and and stopped his
engine. Needless to say, the man was arrested and is
probably still shaking his head over the state Trooper
in Montana who could run 50MPH.
Who says troopers don't have a sense of humor?
Have a great weekend Michele, and stay safe!

Artisan Bread Recipes (in a day)
I originally was looking for a roasted garlic & rosemary bread recipe (not garlic bread - bread bread :-) for a pot luck tomorrow night. Haven't found one. I tried a basic bread recipe today and it wasn't right.
Anyone have a good EASY recipe (dbcurrie?). I am NOT a bread maker!
If not, I think I'm going to make this one from dbcurrie which looks good too.

Last Memorial Day, on a beach trip to Indian Shores, we kept hearing about the famous Conch Republic. We decided to stop by one day for lunch to check it out. We shared a seafood platter with shrimp, scallops, and grouper. We loved it so much, we went back the same night for dinner, and we have been going back ever since.
The Conch Republic Grill is located at 16699 Gulf Boulevard on North Redington Beach. If you visit during peak hours, the parking lot will be full, but street parking is available. There is a small outside bar with a few outside tables. If you want the full Key West effect, venture inside.
Conch Republic has a fun and casual atmosphere. Key West pictures and fun memorable surround you as island crooners like Jimmy Buffett serenade you through the overhead speakers. Grab a strawberry daiquiri or pina colada from the bar, and embark on your temporary island vacation.
The stars of the menu at Conch are obviously the fresh seafood. Near the hostess stand you will see a cooler proudly displaying fresh fish on ice. You will also see a chalkboard filled with the daily specials. While seafood draws the people in, the menu is abundant for those who prefer their protein to come from land (or no meat at all). Enjoy a greek salad, a Cuban sandwich, a hamburger, or a juicy steak.
I am a "carbivore", so I judge a place highly on the bread served before a meal. The rolls at Conch are always fresh out of the oven, and served with real butter packets on the side. Order an appetizer of conch fritters, fish spread, cracker shrimp (think "Bang Bang"), calamari, or oysters, and you are off to a fabulous start! We typically opt for the potato skins since they are harder and harder to find at restaurants. Thick cut potatoes, fried and topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, and scallions. Need I say more?
On my most recent visit, we tried the fried group sandwich and ribeye steak. The grouper was fresh and crispy. This is served on an onion roll, and I got the "secret sauce" on the side. I always pick the black beans and rice for my side item at Conch - this is topped with fresh diced tomatoes and white onions. The ribeye was grilled well, and served with a loaded baked potato.
As you are eating, I am sure you will smell the aroma of cinnamon at some point, wafting from the Bananas Foster preparation at a nearby table. If you have any room left for dessert, try the Bananas Foster, daily cheesecake special (Butterfinger on this visit), or Key Lime Pie.
Conch Republic also has a wide variety of rums available. Flights are available at a reasonable price. Hey, you're on vacation, or at least pretending to be!
On your way out, pick up some Mussels Diablo sauce and a souvenir t-shirt. When you're reminiscing about your beach vacation, put on your shirt and recreate your visit to Conch Republic.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. It's not just the United States that's getting into crowdfunding for startups. UK-based Funding Circle has raised a $16 million second round of funding to facilitate crowd investments for startups from anyone, not just accredited investors. Under the recently passed JOBS Act, also know as the crowdfunding bill, startups in America will be able to get funding from anyone, whether its random strangers, friends, or parents. But before crowdfunding was first uttered in the U.S. Congress, people across the pond were crowd investing money into startups with Funding Circle. Since the company's founding in 2009, it's lent £28 million ($45 million) to small business in the UK. Funding Circle now boasts that it handles £1 million ($1.6 million) per week in investments. The company runs small businesses through risk and credit evaluations, and only "established businesses" are eligible to receive funding. Investors choose which business they want to invest in, negotiate how much interest they'll be paid, and spread their total funding out to lower the risk that a single company will lose them large amounts of money. Funding Circle is the go-between to make sure the businesses get their money and the investors are paid back. For now, the company serves only UK-based businesses, but it may make its way across the Atlantic if and when the JOBS Act is signed into law. Stateside, the company would compete with WeFund and MicroVentures, two crowd investing companies that sprung up before the crowdfunding bill went before Congress. Index Ventures and US-based Union Square Ventures led the round, which will be used to grow the company. Funding Circle getting money from USV could be strategic move that may eventually grow the business into the United States. Funding Circle is based in London and was founded in 2009. The company has raised a total of £13.2 million ($21 million) in funding.

Doctors at Lenox Hill Hospital are the first in the New York Metropolitan area to use a catheter-free method to test for acid reflux disease. Recent studies have shown this method to be better tolerated by patients being diagnosed for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and that the results are diagnostically more reliable than traditional 24-hour measures.
GERD, occurs when acid backs up from the stomach into the esophagus. It is a widespread problem that causes symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, respiratory symptoms such as cough and asthma, and throat symptoms. Over years, it can lead to an increased risk of esophageal cancer and scarring of the lungs and vocal cords. An accurate diagnosis of GERD with pH monitoring can help to reduce long-term medical costs associated with expensive drug therapy and the possible serious effects of not treating the disease, including Barrett's esophagus, a precursor to cancer.
"Ambulatory pH monitoring is the gold standard for diagnosing GERD, but is not used as often as it might be, because the traditional test using a nasal catheter is complicated and uncomfortable for the patient," said Albert Harary, MD, a gastroenterologist at Lenox Hill Hospital. "With a more patient-acceptable way to monitor acid, this new capsule pH test will be used more routinely, resulting in better GERD diagnosis and treatment."
The new diagnostic test, consists of a small capsule (about the size of a vitamin tablet) that is temporarily attached to the wall of the esophagus. The capsule transmits pH data to a pager-sized radio receiver worn by the patient. Data is later downloaded for computer analysis. The capsule detaches and passes harmlessly through the digestive tract after several days.
"Since patients are more active than they would be with a nasal catheter, the test is more reliable in identifying reflux that could otherwise be missed," added Dr. Harary.
Lenox Hill Hospital is a center for advanced gastrointestinal techniques and is a leader in new diagnostic tests and treatments for reflux and many other gastrointestinal disorders.
To learn more, contact Lenox Hill Hospital's Gastroenterology Division at (212) 434-2158.
Members of the press seeking information about Lenox Hill Hospital should call the Public Relations Department at (212) 434-2400.

Our Winery
From the historical town of Jera, in Tuscany, Italy, John Vicini brought with him the passion and love of wine that were handed from one generation to another for over 150 years. Now living and working with Cathy, his wife, and David, their son, they bring to you exceptional wines from the gently rolling vineyard covered hills of Sonoma County, the Russian River, and the Dry Creek Valley. Starting in 1994, John and Cathy grew and sold their own premium Russian River grapes. In 1999 they expanded their family's business to developing and introducing their own label Trecini, representing the three Vicini's (John, Cathy, and David).
With the help of David, Trecini has grown from a premium grape grower to a premium wine company offering five award winning varietals, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Merlot, Merlot Rosé, and a Zinfandel.


text: Prominent literary theorist and New York Times columnist Stanley Fish to lecture at UAH MAR 17, 2014 HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (March 17, 2014) — American literary theorist, legal scholar, author, and distinguished professor, Stanley E. Fish will give two public talks at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) next month. Fish's visit to campus on Friday, April 11, is sponsored by the UAH Humanities Center, and co-sponsored by the UAH Department of Communication Arts. The talks are free and open to the public. "Dr. Fish is the most important scholar in the humanities we've ever hosted at UAH. His work on literary interpretation and legal rhetoric is legendary. His take on the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision on the Second Amendment in 2008 should be quite enlightening," said Dr. Clarke Rountree, chair and professor of Communication Arts. At 1 p.m., Fish will lecture to UAH students and interested faculty and staff in Morton Hall (room 200). His talk is entitled, "Can Holocaust Denial Be Stopped." Later in the evening at 7:30 p.m., in the Shelby Center for Science and Technology (room 107), Fish will lecture and lead a discussion on "Rhetoric, Grammar, and Intention in the District of Columbia. vs. Heller." The principal party in the landmark Second Amendment case of 2008, was Dick Heller, a police officer who lived in the District of Columbia (D.C.). The law prohibited homeowners the right to register and own firearms in D.C. Heller filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court on Second Amendment grounds. He sought an injunction against the law banning hand gun registration in D. C. The District Court dismissed Heller's complaint, but The Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, reversed the decision. The Court of Appeals viewed Heller's complaint as seeking the right to operate and carry a firearm in his home when necessary for self defense, and held that the total ban on handguns violated the individual right to possess firearms under the Second Amendment. And, on June 26, 2008, The Supreme Court upheld the decision 5 to 4. Essentially, The Supreme Court struck down provisions of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975 as unconstitutional. Prior to this ruling the Firearms Control Regulations Act, also restricted residents from owning guns except under certain conditions. Stanley E. Fish is the Davidson-Kahn Distinguished University Professor and a professor of law at Florida International University, in Miami, and dean emeritus of the College of Liberal Arts and Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). He has taught at the University of California at Berkeley, Johns Hopkins and Duke University, in Durham, N.C. During his tenure at UIC he recruited well-respected professors in the academic community and earned the university a lot of recognition. Fish resigned as dean from UIC in a public dispute with the State of Illinois over university funding. In 2010, he joined the Board of Visitors of Ralston College, a start-up institution in Savannah, Georgia. Fish is the author of numerous books, including "How Milton Works," 'The Trouble With Principle," "Professional Correctness: Literary Studies and Political Change," and 'There's No Such Thing as Free Speech, and It's a Good Thing, Too." His essays and articles have appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Harper's Magazine, Esquire, The Atlantic and The New York TImes. Additional sponsors for Fish's visit to the UAH campus include The Stetson University College of Law, the UAH Office of the Provost, and the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts.

Victorinox offers try-on-a-watch iPhone app
Victorinox Swiss Army claims to be the first watch company to introduce its timepieces interactively on the iPhone.
The company is offering a free iPhone application that will let owners of the Apple mobile and the iPod touch "try on the timepieces virtually" by holding their device up to their wrists.
This comedy feature aside, the app will also provide info on the Victorinox's watch range, the history of the company, GPS-linked directions to stockists and a newsletter.
The "3D Timepiece" function will allow you to visualise the Chrono Classic XLS Multi-Task from every angle as well as interactively test the functions.
In addition to the iPhone app a WAP site is also being developed for other phone owners, although we're not sure how the virtual trying on thing will work with that.

4 Key Revenge Episodes to Re-Air Leading Up to Sept. 30 Season 2 Premiere
We are now exactly 31 days away from the Season 2 premiere of Revenge, and we're more excited than Emily Thorne at a Sharpie sale.
To help us get pumped up (not that we need help) for the Sept. 30 premiere, ABC is re-airing pivotal episodes of our favorite drama in the upcoming month.
First on the list is Episode 13, "Commitment." In case you've forgotten, this is the episode in which young Daniel Grayson proposed to his lady love Emily Thorne on a million-dollar yacht, while a live orchestra played in the background, after knowing her a only a couple months. It's casual.
After this romantic (and expensive) display, ABC is sharing Revenge's "Pilot" episode in which Emily Thorne arrived on the Hamptons scene, uncovered Lydia Davis's affair with Conrad, and charmed Daniel Grayson for the first time — all without breaking a sweat (or any necks). This episode will air on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. ET.
And that's only the beginning of the night! Directly following the pilot, ABC is airing "Chaos," the infamous episode in which Tyler is murdered on the beach and Daniel is arrested, at 9 p.m. ET. There will be cocktails, red dresses, and matching gunshot wounds!
To cap off the evening, the show's "explosive" finale episode, "Reckoning," will air at 10 p.m. ET, just in time for you to stay up all night rehashing the same burning questions you had back in May when it originally aired. The same drama-filled episode will also air on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 10 p.m. ET just in case you missed the old time slot.
Will you rewatch these episodes? Tell us below!
Revenge Season 2 premiere on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Houston motorcycle officer sent to hospital after collision
By Mike Glenn | April 15, 2013 | Updated: April 15, 2013 7:29pm
A Houston police officer on a motorcycle collided with a car on Monday, sending him to the hospital, authorities said.
The officer was off-duty but in uniform about 2 p.m. when a Honda sport utility vehicle struck him in the 100 block of Franklin, just west of the Gulf Freeway, Houston police said.
The officer was knocked off the HPD motorcycle, which then struck a pickup truck at the scene.
He was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital with leg injuries.
There were no other injuries, police said.
The driver of the car was questioned at the scene.
The investigation into the wreck is continuing, police said.

Shabbat Menu – Chicken with Golden Raisins and Green Olives
1 comment | Leave Comment
Gold and silver can be used to make things more beautiful, to show our love and appreciation, like a wedding ring or a special piece of jewelry. Or gold can blind us with the idolatry of wealth. In this week's Parsha, we have a little of both. B'nai Yisrael are each commanded to each give a half-shekel of silver to help build the Mishkan. It is a gift from individuals for a holy communal purpose. But when Moses does not descend from Mount Sinai as fast as the Children of Israel are expecting, the people create a golden calf to worship. It is a corruption of the very generosity that began our parsha. Gold can also be the centerpiece of a magnificent Friday night dinner, like our Chicken with Golden Raisins, Green Olives and Lemon recipe.
