I delivered a bout 10 days ago and since the third day my milk has declined which is making me get worried since i don't want to introduce formula milk to my baby boy,
kindly help.
Congrads on your new little one.
I am so excited to hear that you are breastfeeding, Breast milk is the best possible food to offer your new born baby up to 12 months of age and longer....
A typical newborn baby should breastfeed 10 to 12 times in a 24hr period. Remember to nurse at the first signs of hunger (stirring, hands in mouth) don't wait till baby is crying. That is a late hunger cue. You can not nurse to much in those first few months.
We also look for proper weight gain in the first few weeks. Baby should gain on average 6oz every week after birth.
The best way to check this is to have your baby weigh by a health care practitioner.
Baby should also have 3 to 4 stools per day as well as 6 to 8 wets per day.
This will insure that baby is taking in exactly what he needs in the beginning.
For what ever reason you feel that he is not gaining well, please to seek out professional help from a Lactation Consultant or La Leche League leader.
What sort of signs are you seeing that makes you feel worried?
Please do check back with us if you have any further questions about your baby and nursing.
Thanks for the advice, my worry is because my boobs have shrunk within those days and they are very small right now,so am not sure if they have enough milk for my boy.
Your breast are able to accommodate your babies growing needs. Shape and size will change to meet the growing demands of your baby.
The most important clues, as I mentioned above is how often baby nurses during the day and the wet and soiled diapers per day.
Are you seeing a change in that aspect?
Yes I certainly second sunnymumof5's advice above. Please do get in touch with LLL or your local breastfeeding support group or a lactation consultant. It's really important that the latch is right. If your baby is not latched onto the breast correctly then they will not to be able to effectively and efficiently remove enough breastmilk. Please have a look at this previous forum post where I put together some detailed information and resources on getting a good latch.
Also remember that breastmilk works on a supply and demand basis; you need to put your baby to the breast often enough to feed in order to tell your body to produce enough milk for your baby. Many newborn babies feed every 2 hours in the day and night.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Warm wishes,
Baby should gain on average 6oz every week after birth.

Eyewitnesses to Rebirth in Albania: Seminarians Take Missionary Journey
30 May 2011–11 June 2011 • Off-Campus Event
Three of our seminarians recently traveled to Albania, both to observe the phenomenal "resurrection" of the Orthodox Church since the fall of communism in that country and also to study missiology. Their extraordinary journey included an audience with His Beatitude Anastasios, archbishop of Tirana, Durrës, and All Albania; meetings, bible studies, and social time with university students; tours of churches, church agencies, seminaries, and monasteries; and a visit with Metropolitan John of Korça.
Fr. Ignatius Warren (Class of 2011, and now assigned to St. Elias Church in Sylvania, Ohio), Dn. Timothy Yates (3rd-year student), and Richard Ajalat (2nd-year student) witnessed firsthand the incredible rebirth of the Orthodox Church in Albania since December 1990, when student protestors began to overthrow the religiously repressive government. All three seminarians were there as participants in a 3-credit summer course titled "The Missiology of Archbishop Anastasios (Yannoulatos) and Practical Evangelism." Students in the course analyzed the foundation and calling of missions, studied the resurrection of the Church of Albania over the past 20 years, and examined how well the Church has lived out the missiology of Archbishop Anastasios.
The course and trip were under the supervision of course leader, Fr. Luke Veronis, adjunct professor of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts. The endeavor was partly subsidized by The Missions Institute of Orthodox Christianity and was among the Mission Team 2011 programs offered by the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC). This was the second year in a row that seminarians from St. Vladimir's have participated in a mission trip to Albania.
"It was truly a blessing to witness firsthand the rebirth of faith among the Albanian people," noted Fr. Ignatius. "Archbishop Anastasios is a modern-day Apostle, Evangelist, and Missionary par excellence. The Missions Institute under Fr. Luke Veronis provides a much-needed link between the academic study of missiology and the firsthand witness of mission in the church. In addition, it was a great blessing to be with students from our sister schools, Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Theological School, and St. Tikhon's Seminary."

>Running 101>Favorite running songs?
I know some of you are completely against running with music, but I can't imagine NOT running with it (errr, double negative. Nails on this English teacher's chalkboard)
What are some of your favorite additions to your playlist?
Mine current favs:
Sweet Child O' Mine-Guns N Roses
We are Never, ever getting back together-Taylor Swift

"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it's the fight in the dog. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
Not getting into the songs discussion but you know these two sentences have different meanings:
I can imagine running with music.
I can't imagine not running with music.
English is a little different from math.
For the record, I have difficulty imagining running with music, except what my brain provides.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
In the immortal words of Barbie: "math class is tough, let's go shopping!"

I don't know about listening, but when I'm having a particularly good long run occasionally I'll sing. (I'm sure the people along my running routes think I'm completely sane ) My current favorite for this is 'Grace Under Pressure' by Elbow, especially because it's a repeated anthem that I can sing for as long as I choose.
Forgot another great one;
I bet you look good on the dance floor - The Arctic Monkeys
try it as you attack a hill..

TWO bollards are causing controversy in Slimbridge as some residents believe they are a danger after being badly positioned but one homeowner says it keeps his listed house safe.
Mike Haynes, 79, said the position of the bollards on St John's Road will cause problems and be a danger to those with poor eyesight or with mobility problems like himself.
The retired nuclear power engineer, who has lived in Slimbridge for 32 years, thinks the bollards should never have been put up, calling them a "hazard" and not protecting the area they are supposed to be.
"They have generated a large amount of criticism, there's been a lack of co-ordination," he said.
"What I am anxious to see happen is to get them taken out because it is a danger to people."
However Stuart Fellows, who approached Gloucestershire Highways and appealed to have the bollards placed, said they are needed to keep his home safe from vehicles.
The Old Byre is a listed converted farm building built in the 1860s and Mr Fellows said it has a historical value to the village and its integrity needed to be protected.
"Twice in the past year, my property has been hit by vehicles leaving the village," he said.
"On the first occasion in June 2013, Mike Haynes himself was alert enough to take the registration number of the offending vehicle, and I was able to re-claim the £600 repair costs from the driver's insurers.
"On the second occasion in June this year, no one saw who caused the damage, so the repair costs have been down to me."
No structural damage has been caused to the oak frame of the old building but Mr Fellows is concerned that that it is only a matter of time before serious damage is caused.
Mr Fellows said that although he was anxious not to upset anyone in the village, there were already existing locations where the pavement widths are less than where the new bollards have been placed in Slimbridge.
"I hope Gloucestershire Highways will keep their nerve and not remove the bollards," he said.
"However, if they do, then perhaps the very few people who have objected, will be prepared to pay for the repairs, the next time my property is damaged."
Highways manager Daniel Tiffney said safety was paramount.
"This is why these bollards have been put outside the house as the property had been hit several times by vehicles and needed protecting," he said.
"The bollards are an industry standard used across the country and meet safety requirements. There is over one meter of clear footpath for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs. The black and white design is deliberately striking for people who are visually impaired."

Had a pound of hamburger meat with no buns. We did have some white sandwich bread though, so we went with some simple patty melts for tonight's dinner. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.
My pet peeve is a burger that is so thick that it turns into a big meatball that doesn't even fill the bun. I always try to make them on the thin side, and big around, that way you fill the bun and you can bite into it without breaking your jaw. I usually make my patties 1/3 pound each, flatten them out fairly wide and then put a dimple in the middle. But tonight I was making patty melts, and I wanted a double layer of meat so that I could also have a double layer of cheese. So I made these 1/4 pound each, and then used a rolling pin and ziplock bag to flatten them out nice and wide.
After I flattened them out, I seasoned them and put them in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.
They don't take long to grill up this way either...
Topped with some bacon.
I'm usually not one for baked sweet potatoes, but I found tonight that if I season them like I do sweet potato french fries, then they aren't half bad. Seasoned it with some butter, salt and pepper, and shredded parmesan.
The patty melt was awesome. I loved the buttery and crispy bite of grilling it up like a grilled cheese sandwich.
Simple meal, but really good... I think I'll skip picking up buns on a more regular basis. They usually go bad before I can finish them up anyways. And there's nothing like the buttery goodness of a grilled cheese pattymelt.

COLLEGE PARK, Fla. - Orlando officials on Tuesday discussed changing the city's landscaping code to address front yard vegetable gardens after a College Park couple's controversial garden sparked national outrage.
Orlando's Municipal Planning Board presented its recommendations, which include:
• Limiting the area in front of a home where vegetables can be planted to 25 percent.
• Plants cannot be taller than four feet, (i.e. tomato plants in the front yard).
• Planter boxes would have to be three feet from the sidewalk.
[PICS:| READ: City Agenda | MPB recommendations]
Jason Helvenston, of College Park, says the proposed restrictions will make it impossible for his garden to grow.
"(The proposed rules are) basically made by a bunch of people who don't grow vegetable gardens," he said.
One by one, residents voiced their concerns during the public comment period of the meeting.
"The restrictions of 25 percent -- when it's my yard, I own it, I pay taxes on my yard -- are ridiculous. They are infringing on my constitutional rights as an American," an Orlando resident said.
Some, however, support the staff's recommendations.
Gretchen Rivera owns the home next to the Helvenstons and filed the original complaint about the garden.
She's concerned about property values and safety in the neighborhood.
"I passed by last night, and it looks like somebody who wants to have a crime, they can hide between the tomatoes or anything else and that's not good," she said.
In November, Local 6 broke the story about the controversial garden after the city told the Helvenstons their 25-by-25-foot front yard vegetable garden was not in compliance with the city's code.
The city was originally going to fine the couple $500 per day if they didn't comply with the old laws, but that's been placed on hold.

Friend says Menken was willing participant in blackmail scheme
Menken Trial
Byline info is not available
Andrew Menken testifies at his extortion trial in Sac City this morning that he had no part of the blackmail scheme for which he faces three felonies. He has repeatedly said that a friend planned the scheme, and that when the friend asked whether Menken wanted to take part, Menken immediately declined.
Jason Heffelmeier, the former best friend of Andrew Menken who engineered the scheme to blackmail a Lake View farmer for more than $55,000, testifies today that Menken was a willing participant on April 13 when they tried to collect a cash payment from the farmer. Sac County attorney Ben Smith (right) shares evidence of text messages sent to Randy Aschinger as part of the scheme.
January 29, 2014
Sac City
Andrew Menken did not know about his best friend's scheme to blackmail a Lake View farmer until the night the farmer was set to make a cash payment, the friend confirmed today in court during the second day of Menken's felony extortion trial.
But what the jury determines happened next on that April 2013 night will likely decide the case.
Menken and his defense attorney contend that Menken, 37, of Carroll, immediately declined to take part in the scheme. But the friend, Jason Heffelmeier, 39, of Buckingham, said Menken helped Heffelmeier plan and execute it.
"He was surprised," Heffelmeier testified about Menken's response that night. "Then he started asking me some details about it. ... After that, we started talking about what we were going to do in Boone."
Sac County Attorney Ben Smith's witnesses have laid out in the past two days how the extortion scheme played out in April 2013.
Randy Aschinger testified Tuesday about his four-year-long sex affair with Elizabeth Aschinger that ended in 2011 before she married his son, Steve.
"It was a mutual agreement," Randy Aschinger said. "My son and her were going to be married, and we decided it just wasn't right."
But then, Aschinger testified, his daughter-in-law began demanding thousands of dollars to keep her from revealing the relationship to his wife.
He paid her $5,000 cash at one point to keep quiet, but when she asked for more money in March 2013, he said he declined.
"I said this has got to end," Randy Aschinger testified he told Elizabeth Aschinger. "I said there is going to be no more threats, no more money. I said I'm done with this."
And then a couple of weeks later on April 8 he got a call from a man with a deep voice who claimed to be a neighboring farmer named Bob.
The man - later identified as Heffelmeier - said:
"You listen, and you listen good. I know what you've been doing or what you're trying to do with your daughter-in-law. I have your phone messages. I can monitor your phone and her phone. How much do you think it would be worth to not have those messages seen by your wife?"
Aschinger demurred.
"Well," the man continued, "I like the number 'five.' ... I like, five, five, five, five, five."
Heffelmeier testified this morning that he tricked Elizabeth Aschinger into revealing her father-in-law's phone number by posing on the phone as a crop-seed salesman. Heffelmeier and Menken had previously discussed harassing Randy Aschinger anonymously about the affair using a pre-paid cellphone, but Heffelmeier initially acted alone, he testified.
After the initial threatening phone call, Aschinger tried to call his daughter-in-law. And then there was a text message from Bob:
"Don't (explicit) with me, Randy. It'll cost you $5,000 more if you do."
Aschinger drove to see his wife at work and confessed the affair, and the pair went to the Sac County sheriff to get help.
Sheriff Ken McClure testified later on Tuesday that he put a covert voice-recording device on Randy Aschinger and told him to talk to Elizabeth Aschinger at Anytime Fitness, the Carroll gym she co-owned and managed.
Elizabeth Aschinger denied any involvement and said to "get the hell out of my office." But later, she called and said she wanted to meet again.
Randy Aschinger again went to Anytime Fitness, where Menken was exercising at the time, and Elizabeth Aschinger asked to see the threatening text messages on her father-in-law's phone. She began deleting them without his knowledge and accused him of "trying to pin this on me," Randy Aschinger testified.
Menken sent a text message to Heffelmeier to tell him about the Aschingers' argument.
McClure, having heard the argument, interviewed Randy Aschinger further about the blackmail scheme, wondering whether he indeed had tried to implicate his daughter-in-law in a false scheme that he concocted. Aschinger had previously told McClure that he suspected Menken had a sexual relationship with the daughter-in-law, which Menken denies but Heffelmeier testified today was true. Aschinger might be jealous, McClure thought.
But during that interview, Aschinger received another threatening text message, which wiped away McClure's suspicion.
The man who called himself Bob later told Aschinger to get some cash to deliver on that Saturday - April 13, 2013. McClure put together a team of law officers and a plane for aerial surveillance to nab the extortionist.
The April 13 money drop is where stories diverge.
Smith, who is prosecuting the case, alleges that Menken was a willing participant, that he was the driver who dropped his friend Heffelmeier at a city park in Boone to grab the money. Menken said in a videotaped interview with the sheriff - which was replayed in court Tuesday afternoon - and in testimony this morning that he was an unwitting accomplice who, when he learned of the scheme, immediately declined to participate.
"This is really the first time that Andy gets any indication that there is a plot afoot to extort Randy Aschinger," Menken's attorney Charles Schulte said in his opening remarks Tuesday morning.
Aschinger said he received a text message that told him to take a cash payment to Boone. He drove to the spot, in Herman Park, and dropped a bag with the cash alongside a road. The bag had a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking device in it.
Earlier that day, Menken traveled to Des Moines with his ex-wife and children. On the way back, they stopped in Ames where Menken ate dinner with his family and Heffelmeier. The two had planned to watch a fight on TV that night, as the friends often did.
After dinner when Menken got into Heffelmeier's car, Heffelmeier revealed the scheme to Menken.
"This is going to point to me," Menken testified that he told Heffelmeier at the time. "There's no way this is going to look good. This is crap."
But Heffelmeier said Menken agreed to help and the two drove to Boone to find a place for Aschinger to drop the money. They drove around Boone for about 30 minutes before they found the spot in Herman Park, he said. Heffelmeier called Aschinger and gave him the location for the money drop.
Heffelmeier said Menken later drove Heffelmeier's car and dropped him in the park so that he could get the cash.
Heffelmeier retrieved the cash bag but ditched it when he saw a police car speeding toward the location of the drop. Heffelmeier fled and, in a cellphone call with Menken, arranged to meet him in a nearby apartment complex, he said, and together they drove back to Ames.
"We talked about what happened, what might happen," Heffelmeier testified. "We talked about if there was any idea they knew it was us."
Heffelmeier said Menken left and that Heffelmeier went back to Boone, hoping to find the cash but couldn't. Then he drove home to eastern Iowa.
In Menken's videotaped interview with McClure - which was recorded weeks after the incident after McClure obtained cellphone records that indicated Menken was in the area when the money drop happened and that Menken's personal cellphone had dialed Randy Aschinger's cellphone earlier in April - Menken initially said he spent the day with his ex-wife and children in Des Moines, that she dropped him off at his car that was parked in Ames, and that Menken drove home to Carroll.
McClure, who knew Menken because he was the juvenile court officer for Sac and Carroll counties, took him to task on the apparent lie.
"I'm not bull-(explict) you," McClure said in the interview. "I don't want you digging yourself into a (explict) hole. You're my friend. This is very uncomfortable for both of us.
"Our investigation clearly shows that you are the one who extorted Randy."
That led to this exchange:
McClure: "You (explicit) up. You (explicit) up."
Menken: "I didn't do anything."
McClure: "You did things you wouldn't normally do."
Menken: "I didn't do anything."
McClure: "Our evidence shows what you did."
Menken: "Your evidence is wrong."
Menken eventually recanted his previous story but said he was duped into participating briefly in the blackmail scheme. He claimed that Heffelmeier had gone behind his back with information about the Aschingers' affair that Menken had divulged in confidence.
In the interview, Menken said that in the two years he exercised at Anytime Fitness in Carroll, he befriended Elizabeth Aschinger, who told him about the affair and how she was unhappy in her marriage to Steve Aschinger. She allegedly told him about her bouts of anxiety and depression, and Menken said in the interview that he took Aschinger to a hospital three times when she was suicidal.
Elizabeth Aschinger was expected to testify today in defense of Menken.
Menken said he told Heffelmeier about the situation because Heffelmeier was his best friend, and that Heffelmeier, who was newly married and needed money, acted alone when he tried to blackmail Randy Aschinger.
"I'm going to (explicit) my best friend," Menken told McClure in the interview when he changed his story, "so take notes."
Menken said in the videotaped interview that Heffelmeier took him to his car in Ames after he declined to take part in the scheme and that Menken drove home. He drove on Iowa Highway 141, a route that is at least 30 miles longer than if he drove on U.S. Highway 30, because he was afraid of being stopped by a law officer and implicated in the scheme, he said.
That story apparently conflicts with the one Menken's attorney laid out in his opening remarks Tuesday, in which the attorney, Schulte, said Menken drove Heffelmeier to the park but got a call from his work and left.
Schulte said Heffelmeier later met him at a restaurant parking lot in Boone and revealed that the money drop was under surveillance by law officers.
"Andy decides to go home," Schulte said. "He had to go home. The evening, as far as he was concerned, is shot."
Smith contested Menken's story about that night because he said the timeline doesn't jibe with the timeline he reconstructed from cellphone records.
Menken is charged with three felonies for conspiracy to commit extortion, extortion and theft. All three are punishable by up to five years in prison.
Menken said in court today that he didn't report the crime before he was questioned by the sheriff - and that he initially lied to the sheriff - because he was trying to protect Heffelmeier.
"He was my best friend," Menken said today.
Testimony was expected to conclude in Sac City today, after which a jury of 12 Sac County residents will decide whether Menken is guilty of charges against him, or of other, lesser charges.

so are you guys not able to continue it when the 2nd season comes out?
What a shame it was an awesome anime too one of the firsts I watched when I joined CR. For those who haven't seen it its worth watching.

A second season is unlikely, due to the poor DVD/BD sales in Japan.
That said, if there were another series, CR would very likely have it. For example, although Funimation had already licensed Sora no Otoshimono when Sora no Otoshimono: Forte came out, CR still had the simulcast (although in that case, Funimation did as well). Although Funimation had already licensed Strike Witches, CR still had the simulcast of Strike Witches 2. In both cases, the key was that CR had the simulcast of the original series. In both cases the second series, was later removed, as it was licensed by Funimation, just as with Deadman Wonderland.
The only complication going forward is Kadokawa's relationship with NicoNico.com. This season, this has resulted in that site being given exclusivity for the first week. That could have further consequences in the future for series Kadokawa handles (which would no doubt include any Deadman Wonderland sequel series).
Yes, that's my real age

The only reason this didn't sell well in Japan was because of its release timing. Like RIGHT after the big earthquake... I doubt they wanted to watch something with this much gore. Give it another year and this will sell big in Japan.
ur right since the story takes place ten years aftera earthquake ruined tokyo i guess it must be a sore topic
]CABarrett Pure ignorance, please understand when I say "big earthquake" I mean the one that occurred in east Japan, not a fictional earthquake. I was speaking along the terms of it having gore and depictions of blood which, if you know anything about Japanese culture, is pushing the bounds of what they consider political correctness... Really is common sense though, would YOU want to be hit with dozens of depictions of people being blown up a few weeks after 9/11 occurred? Get real guy...
??? thats what i said its a sore topic, and all i was saying it was sore topic of that earthquake they had and the earthquake in the story both took place in japan. ergo not to many people would want to relive the horros by reading something that was about such a terible event.
My 2 concerns are 1 ) will funimation try to get the second season of this running 2 ) will funimation push out the deadman wonderland manga like reprint the first 5 volumes since tokyopop is down
That's completely different to what you said the first time. The first time, you implied that you do rewatch series, so Crunchyroll will be losing your repeat views to leech streaming sites (or Funimation).

Surely you don't mean watching it on one of those bootleg leech streaming sites that illegally upload bootlegs to places like Veoh, MySpace or Megavideo and then leech of those free streams. The video quality of the free streaming services that they leech off of suck.
People who want to watch Stein's Gate on Crunchyroll shouldn't let grass grow under their feet either, its also been licensed by Funimation, so the streaming licensed could well expire 30 days after the end of the current season.
Once I watch something, it no longer matters to me if i've paid for it or not, because i'm done watching it. I own "1" dvd, I watched it once, and it's sat there on my shelf since.
That's my point, take it how you like.
Now you say that after you're done watching it, you're done. So what difference does it make where it is after it leaves Crunchyroll? It was on Crunchyroll as a simulcast during the entire season, and stayed up for a second full season after the season finished. That's plenty of time to see it, in higher quality than the leech streaming sites.
Funimation have picked up very few streams, and so far Crunchyroll has obtained second seasons after they had the first season, even when Funimation had already acquired the first season ~ remember Strike Witches.

Funimation will almost certainly not do anything with the manga. You'll have to look for a surviving manga publisher to pick it up.
8 years as a premium member, but no more
Have you check DVD sales in the untied states, when it comes to anime? They are pretty pathetic to say the least. Meaning, the fan base talks a big game when it comes to buying DVD's, but in the end it is all talk, since the sale figures prove most fans rather watch anime for free.
I just started watching that anime on toonami . it seems to be really interesting.
What happened?.....
DeadMan WounderLand FTW!!!!
I know this is an old post, but maybe with it now showing on Toonami (in Dub) this show will get alot more attention. So far with what i have seen on there, this looks like a realy good show.

MIAMI - The BCS Championship game Monday night pits the Alabama Crimson Tide against Notre Dame's Fighting Irish. For college football purists, it's a dream match up and ticket prices for the game are pretty hefty.
"Currently they're trading between a thousand and twenty five hundred a piece for the game at the Sun Life Stadium. You'll be lucky to find one under $1,000," said ticket broker Mike Lipman.
Tens of thousands of fans are expected to fly into Miami hoping to score a ticket. And many know they will end up hunkering down in one of many sports bars or stadium fan zones.
"I'm kind of cheap, so I'm probably only going to pay $500." said Mike Knight who is an Alabama fan.
The average air fare cost to Miami is $687 round trip and a two night stay in Miami will put you out around $500. With that said fans could pay more than $3,000 for the historic experience.
"Little expensive, little expensive, but we had to do it, we had to do it. Can't miss it. Yeah, definitely worth it." said Alabama fan Taylor Guzy.
"It cost a lot of money to have fun down here, but it's worth it," said Notre Dame fan John Bacon.
"You don't get many chances to see Alabama play for the national championship," said Alabama fan Kayo Penson.
Both teams claim more than 10 national championships and are two of the most stories programs in college football history. The teams have met six times, with Notre Dame coming out ahead five of those times. But the teams haven't met in more than a decade.

Life — July 2003
|An experienced cruiser offers some hints on accommodating older passengers.
Last fall my wife Nancy's parents joined us on a three-week cruise from Algonac, Michigan, to Baltimore, Maryland, during which her father celebrated his 90th birthday in Atlantic City, the same city where he and Nancy's mother (age a secret) spent their honeymoon many years before. During the voyage the four of us shared some really special moments: reminiscing, enjoying the scenery, and just plain being together. Nancy and I also learned about the ins and outs of cruising with older folks.
Our most important realization was that older folks are often less agile and more fragile than younger passengers. Diminished eyesight, hearing loss, and sometimes unsure balance are often the natural result of passing years. While kids often ricochet to their feet, uninjured from a seemingly horrendous fall, a shipboard fall can be pretty serious stuff to a golden-ager.
Consequently, boaters need to give greater-than-normal attention to tripping and falling hazards. Dock lines, power cords, water hoses, cleats, and loose items on deck are especially hazardous for people with diminished sight, balance, and agility. You may want to make regular tours around the boat to look for such hazards. And remember that docks can present challenges, too, and the hazards can be at eye-level (a protruding anchor pulpit) as well as foot level.
Underway, the normal motion of a boat can present special balancing difficulties for seniors—rough water even more so. That's why elders always need a comfortable seat and should be urged to use it when the boat is underway. If they must move underway, simply having a helping hand available will put them at ease. And if conditions are rough, don't hesitate to suggest the "sit and skootch" method.
Make sure your older, inexperienced passengers understand that life on a boat requires special equipment: hats, sunscreen, deck-gripping shoes, and clothing to protect against heat, cold, and moisture. Moreover, urge them to inform their friends and relatives that they'll be away from home and perhaps out of contact. Offer them your cellphone number to distribute, as well as copies of your float plan, including contact information for the marinas you plan to visit.
Medical issues also require special attention. On an extended cruise, older passengers need an ample supply—more than just for the duration of the trip—of any medicine they require. Be certain their medicines and your seasickness remedies are compatible; any pharmacist can point out possible conflicts and suggest alternatives. And make sure your get the names and telephone numbers of their physicians.

Sometimes when I have some chicken (parts or whole) to grill, I don't feel like or have time to make a rub for it. I used Old Bay Seasoning at one of these times and it has become one of our favorite rubs. I put a generous coating on the skin and on the meat side of parts, and on and under the skin of a whole chicken. Delicious!
I also use Emeril's Essence as a rub. It's easy for me because I always keep some around for other dishes. Don't buy it, make your own from the recipie available with almost all of Emeril's recipies on www.foodtv.com or on www.emeril.com.

Alright so I have saved up some money here in the past couple months to buy some accessories that I have yet to have.
Currently have a Cast Iron and Pizza stone as my biggest accessories...
What I'm desiring is something to create more cooking space (so any input on useful items and or links would be great) and then any other ideas you all have would be so appreciated!
Thanks so much!

Physics is the study of the physical universe. In physics, students learn to solve theoretical and practical problems using fundamental principles and to effectively communicate those solutions. This study provides preparation for graduate studies in engineering and other physical sciences and professional schools, as well as preparation for positions in industry.
The various disciplines represented within the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science are united by their reliance upon:
- methods for discovering and demonstrating patterns, and for constructing structures that exhibit, unify and illuminate these patterns;
- application of these structures to model a wide variety of phenomena in mathematics and the sciences;
- precise language as a means to express patterns and describe structures.
Accordingly, graduates of the Math/Physics/Computer Science department will:
- demonstrate knowledge of basic content appropriate to the chosen major;

A Winning Week at Camp Sunshine
Thanks to our generous donors, we were again able to send 40 kids with lupus and their families for a week at Camp Sunshine -- where kids get to be like all the other kids, playing under medical supervision, and along with their families find they are not alone with lupus.
This year, we were able to bring extra inspiration in the form of NBA rookie Dwayne Davis. The 23-year old lost his mom to lupus when he was just 13 and had little time for fun caring for his young siblings. Along with teaching campers some basketball skills, Dwayne also imparted important life lessons – to keep going after your dreams no matter what. We vote Dwayne MVP on Team Life Without Lupus!
What this one week out of 52 means is best expressed by the kids, their siblings, their parents and the staff who make it all happen!
The Kids
Camp Sunshine is an amazing place where kids can go to forget about all of their medical troubles and be happy alongside other kids who understand the day-to-day struggles of living with lupus.
I want to give back to others what was given to me and my family. This week I was able to help out two new members. I was very proud of being able to give these two young girls the same age as me support. Because in lupus week, there is no such thing as leaving someone out.
Camp Sunshine is the place where you feel like you are at home, where all hope that was gone is found again, where you can reach out to someone because that someone will be there waiting to support you. This is the place where we show emotion, where we all cry, laugh, smile together, where there is no such thing as hate and disrespect. It's all about love, care and support.
Everybody makes you feel like family and there's other people here who are just like you, and they, like, bring your self-esteem up and you just feel better with them and, it's fun.
I came back because I get a lot of support here and it's very fun to meet new people that go through the same stuff I do, and I know that they have to take a lot of medicines just like I do, so, I support them, too.
Sometimes people think that you're lying when you have pain or something, 'cause they think you don't want to do something. Some people don't understand what you're going through. It makes me feel like I'm not alone; there's always someone in the world that will understand me.
Thanks for letting me share time with kids like me who have siblings with lupus. This helped me understand and support my big sister.
The Parents
Thank you for showing Danielle that she's not alone.
Meeting college kids with lupus shows us that a person can grow and thrive after such a devastating diagnosis. Camp Sunshine gave us hope for a future.
Coming to Camp has allowed us to get our batteries recharged. We have seen Jasmine's confidence grow this week and have seen her truly relax and have fun! This is an amazing gift to our family.
The Staff
If you're living through something and you feel like you're alone and you find somebody else who's going through the same thing, then you immediately kind of know each other. So to get30 or 40 families together, there's just this synergy that happens and very quickly and when they talk about the magic of Camp Sunshine but that's exactly what it is.
It's astounding how much these connections enables each member of the family to get something to help them through, through the rest of the year, and how much they then look forward to coming back the next year.
One of the things that happens with lupus is that you feel alone in the world, you feel isolated, you feel like you can't do what other people do. So, it's really important when you get here, you don't feel isolated, you feel connected and you feel like there are a million activities you can do, because everybody around you is doing them at the pace that you can do them at.
We thank all our donors for the contributions that made this week possible, particularly The Joseph LeRoy and Ann C. Warner Fund, Inc., and ask for your continued support towards affording more children and families the same opportunity next summer.

She lives out-of-state. She's in middle school. She's overweight. On her first day at school, she's bullied and taunted for her weight. She wants out.
This girl is a real girl; a girl I've met. But it could just as easily be any girl, any boy, in any school, in any town.
This is a rough way to start a school year.
When I was told about this girl's first day back at school, it felt like a kick in the stomach to me. No one should be punched around physically or emotionally, much less a child who has already experienced enough heartaches and challenges to buckle many of us to our knees. I can't imagine her discouragement, her fear, maybe anger.
There's nothing I could do to help this girl. I don't know the family that well to offer any kind of comfort or a listening ear.
But still, I can't let her story slip through my hands like it never happened.
Maybe this isn't the wisest time to bring up the topic of bullying, especially with the school year only a few days old. Kids and staff are just getting settled into a routine. It's too soon for anyone to get bored or to feel superior to others and to make fun of whomever they feel is a worthy target. Or is it?
Maybe now is the best time to talk about bullying before it happens or before it becomes a pattern.
Bullying has got to be one of the biggest mysteries in life to me. It's hard to comprehend why someone would be deliberately cruel to someone else.
Trying to get inside the bully's mind — is it an attempt to make the other, thought-to-be "weaker," person look or feel bad, so the bully will feel better about himself/herself? Or is because the bully somehow truly perceives himself/herself to be smarter or stronger than others and therefore above consequences for their actions?
The problem of bullying is there, not just in schools, but also in workplaces, even in some families.
But I do believe there are some answers to be found.
I was really encouraged at Monday's meeting of the Princeton Elementary School Board when Logan Junior High School Principal J.D. Orwig announced the school is bringing an anti-bullying program, "Rachel's Challenge," to the school on Sept. 18. The program focuses not just on the anti-bullying message but also encourages a "random acts of kindness" kind of lifestyle, Orwig said.
The Sept. 18 program will include assemblies with the Logan student body and the Reagan Middle School student body. A training session will be held with 30 to 50 Logan students. In the evening, there will be a special program for the parents and community.
I can't imagine a better way to spend a couple hours on Sept. 18.
I'm sure there are many other schools around Bureau County who are also beginning their school year with their own anti-bullying programs and plans.
All things considered, the best I understand it, we are all in this thing called life together. We can make it easier for each other ... or harder.
And, from what I've seen and experienced, the more we help others and build into others in a positive way, the stronger we become ourselves.

You want to receive data from wifi with your Netbook, Tablet or Android phone, that's easy!!!
Here is a demo on youtube:
You only need a 5 steps flowcode program and a ready to use software on your windows or android terminal.
Here is the flowcode program!:
Here are the steps
Step1: EBlock Hardware
Connect a wifi E-block to a HP488 board. Wire +V and +14V
If you use 16F887, connect the EB069 to port C
Step2: Windows sofware and harware
You can use any windows hardware(tablet, laptop ect...) The only requirement is wifi. I will use the term netbook for the following steps.
Download netstuff here(tested ok with xp and w7):
Step3:Download the following 5 steps Flowcode program:
Step4: Configure your EB069 wifi E-Block(not necessary if you use TCP)
Connect your Netbook wifi to the Eblock:
In ethernet explorer, write:"192.168.0.2"
user: admin - pass: admin
In serial setting/protocol, change to UDP.
Run Netstuff
UDP Client: 192.168.0.2 Port 5000
Send the datas you want (unselect send\r\n after data + select send hex data: that's easier)
Each data received will be send on the LEDs
If you want to use your Android device:
If you are a student at INSALyon, ask for "packet injection" por android devices. It's a netsuff like for android. It was spécialy developped to be used on the eb069.
If you are not at INSAlyon, use Easy Packet Blast:
https://market.android.com/details?id=c ... rch_result
I use a HP488 EBlock+PIC16F887 for the demo but a 16F88+EB006 main board+LED board can be used.
If you are a student at INSALyon, ask for "packet injection" por android devices. It is spécialy developped for use on the eb069 eblock.
It is possible to do much more complex systems. Here are some examples:

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - People who live in the Nelmar Terrace neighborhood of St. Augustine have always dealt with traffic in their quaint neighborhood.
Now they fear it will only get worse because a proposed 7-Eleven could be built around the corner.
"Our biggest concern for it would be the traffic that's inevitably going to be diverted on our nice quiet historic neighborhood," resident Jeanette Booth said.
She's not the only neighbor worried about traffic.
"It's going to be a right turn in only and a right turn out on San Marco (Avenue) only," resident Debbi Sauls said.
7-Eleven is eyeing the vacant corner of May Street and San Marco across from the carousel. The store and gas station would sit on the edge of the historic Nelmar Terrace neighborhood, near the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind.
"I would hope that they would consider another location for the gas station and then for that corner something that is more appropriate for the neighborhood," Booth said.
"It's going to be (open) 24 hours, which we're not real thrilled about," Sauls said. "But again, with that said, the property is zoned for that, so there's not a lot of what we can do but appeal to them."
The city still needs to approve two elements to the project. George McClure, who represents 7-Eleven locally, said the city will likely approve the project regardless of the complaints.
"I don't know what this really is about because the story that I heard was, when the neighbors heard it was going to be a Starbucks, everybody was thrilled, but they don't like a 7-Eleven," McClure said.
Although neighbors may not like the idea, some say they will go to the store if it's built.
"If it's there, I'm going to use it because it will be convenient," Sauls said.
If the city grants approval for the entry, corridor guidelines and the tree removal construction will begin in six to seven months.

Preventionista: Unplugged
I've been thinking a bit more about self-care lately (see earlier blog post related to self-care). And I'm feeling rather, well…stuck. So I'm hoping you can help me out.
I just returned from a week-long vacation. A stay-cation, really. It was seven days of doing whatever I wanted. I went to the lake, I went to an amusement park with my nieces and nephew, I picnicked and hammocked…overall, it was a relaxing time. One thing I did NOT do was unplug. I've always wanted to try going without social media for a week, but unfortunately my iPhone has become like an extra appendage. So, as I was scrolling through my Facebook feed one day I was struck by how overwhelmed and depressed I became as I realized that the majority of the stories and statuses on my news feed were related to anti-sexual violence work. I found myself becoming angry that instead of posts about what my friends were eating for lunch, I was staring at a barrage of work-related posts.
And then I felt guilty. Guilty for feeling angry about articles and status posts that on any other day would have spurred me to action, but on my vacation day made me want to run away from the work. I mean, as preventionists, shouldn't we care about social justice, anti-violence, and anti-oppression work 24/7, 365 days a year? I really struggled with those feelings that day, and am still not sure that I handled it appropriately. But what I do know is that I immediately recognized that feeling of being overwhelmed and needing to take care of myself. And for me, that was "unplugging" from the work for the rest of my vacation. It wasn't that I didn't care; I just needed a break.
Have you ever "unplugged" from prevention work? If so, how did it make you feel? I'd like to think I am not alone on this one, so let me know by commenting below.
A picture of my unplugging place - no cell reception here!

Hello everyone, my new baby has been diagnosed with an allergy to lactose. I have been struggling to breastfeed and wondered if the two could be linked.
Printable View
Hello everyone, my new baby has been diagnosed with an allergy to lactose. I have been struggling to breastfeed and wondered if the two could be linked.
Here is some information pulled from La Leche Leagues website...they offer a great amount of educational information to breastfeeding mothers.....
Signs and symptoms of lactose intolerance, diarrhea, and allergy may occur in exclusively breastfed infants. These problems may be the result of sensitivity, intolerance, or allergy, terms not always defined correctly in the literature.
An adverse reaction is any abnormal reaction to food or additives; food intolerance is any abnormal physiologic response to ingested food; and food hypersensitivity (true allergy) involves an immune reaction to ingested substances, often synonymous with IgE-mediated reactions. Immune reactions to ingested substances are classified into two broad types: IgE, with involvement of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and/or skin; and milk protein enterocolitis, limited to gastrointestinal involvement.
The top three food antigens are cow's milk protein (mostly the beta-lactoglobulin component), soy bean protein, and egg white, followed by peanuts, meat, and fish, especially cod. About 50 percent of infants allergic to cow's milk protein will also be allergic to soy bean protein, and soy is virtually everywhere in processed foods. Allergens can be hidden in minute amounts, even occurring as cross contamination during food processing.
Research has shown that foreign proteins do pass into breast milk and can cause allergy. There are case reports in the literature of cow's milk protein in breast milk causing anaphylactic shock in infants. The possibility of allergic disease should be considered when a breastfeeding baby is not acting quite right, especially if the baby is not growing well.
In diagnosing allergy, a complete history, including information about the baby's behavior, is important. Sleeping patterns, colicky behavior, and crabbiness may be signs of allergy. A complete physical is also important. Sometimes it is helpful to examine a baby just after a feeding because some babies will react immediately, providing clues to the practitioner.
If the only symptom is colicky behavior, fussiness, gas, and/or loose stools, it can be helpful to examine the feeding pattern before starting an elimination diet.
If an elimination diet is necessary, it should begin with the top offender, cow's milk protein. Once the mother's elimination diet has started, it can take anywhere from a few days to six weeks for an infant to show improvement, making it difficult to use elimination as a "test" to prove or disprove allergy to a particular protein. Many infants will outgrow their allergies by about 6 to 18 months. After a period of elimination, infants should be rechallenged with the offending protein to determine the need to continue with the diet.
As you can see a true lactose allergy is very complex.
Im curious as to how your baby was diagnosied and what came about to get him tested.
It would be nice if you could share your babies age as well.
I do hope that this helps you understand more about your babies condition.
Thank you for replying and for gathering so much information for us.
My baby is 11 months old now and his lactose allergy, along with a number of other food allergies, has only just been diagnosed. He was born with a low birth weight despite being very long and had problems feeding from day 1. Initially he refused to breastfeed and would become very distressed whenever we tried. Because of his refusal to take the breast or the bottle we were in hospital for two weeks, with him at one stage having a feeding tube, before he eventually began to take anything. When we got home he continued to struggle to feed and because of his weight we decided to supplement with formula. The pattern was that he would take a bottle or breast feed early morning and was then violently ill, he would then refuse to take any more food until he was absolutely starving, sometimes 10-12 hours later. He has never been a fussy baby and other than when we feed him he is actually a very happy baby.
His physical symptoms were very low weight, vomitting on average 15 - 20 times a day, diarhea approx 8 - 10 times a day. Later on he began to struggle with very thick mucus when he was sick which would cause him to choke.
After many visits to baby clinic we eventually met a new midwife who suggested lactose could be the problem and we removed it from his diet, he improved greatly but still had some problems so he was given a full spectrum of allergy tests. Thankfully we know now what to avoid but he has still occasionally having problems that we haven't been able to isolate the source of. He likes to breastfeed occasionally still as a comfort and I was worried that it may be the culprit.
I will remove all foods from my diet that he is allergic to and hopefully he can carry on feeding as he asks.
Thank you again
Ok, so your baby is much older, I originally though he was a new born.
I am so sorry that you are going through all of this.
I highly suggest that you research everything you can get your hands on about this issue and start a elimination diet for your self and your son. Formula being number one to go...since it is full of this triggers for your son.
Breastmilk will be the BEST food for your baby right now. The more breastmilk you can get into him the better. Also high fatty foods can help him gain weight, coconut oil is a great additive to increase fatty substance as well as avocado.
Do let us know how he is doing.

General Assembly: Statement by Ambassador Wittig on the Situation in Afghanistan
(Statement as prepared for delivery by Ambassador Peter Wittig at the introduction of the General Assembly Resolution on "The Situation in Afghanistan", facilitated by Germany:)
"Mr. President, distinguished colleagues,
It is an honor for my country to introduce this year's draft resolution on the "Situation in Afghanistan."
Transition in the areas of security, politics and economics have progressed remarkably this past year under a strong Afghan leadership. 2014 will once again be a year marked by pivotal events such as the presidential elections in April and the termination of the International Security Assistance Force at the end of next year.
As we are approaching these watershed moments, the long-term partnership between Afghanistan and the international community is evolving. It is essential to understand, however, that redefining this very relationship should reinforce it. This is also the core message of the resolution before us today.
Mr. President,
allow me to briefly highlight five core elements of the draft resolution.
First, transition in the area of security. On 18 June 2013, President Karzai announced the final tranche of the transition process. Afghan security forces (ANSF) are now in the lead to provide security throughout the country. Since the inception of the transition process, the Afghan National Army and Police have continuously improved their capacities. Yet, challenges remain and the achievements made so far remain fragile.
The resolution therefore underlines the international community's resolve to support the Afghan security forces during the transition and beyond, and reiterates the commitment made at the Chicago Summit in 2012 to sustain international support for the ANSF beyond 2014.
We welcome the convening of a Loya Jirga to decide about a security agreement with the United States. This agreement will constitute a cornerstone in the architecture of international support to Afghanistan in the years to come.
The German Government has offered to continue supporting the Afghan security forces in their challenging effort to provide security for the Afghan people. And we are looking forward to working with our Afghan partners to set the legal and practical framework for this involvement in the coming months. In accordance with the Chicago Joint Summit Declaration, Germany will work towards a sound legal basis for our future cooperation, aiming at a Security Council resolution.
Secondly, the draft resolution is about the long-term commitment of the international community throughout the Transformation Decade.
This commitment declared by the Government of Afghanistan and its international partners at the Bonn Conference of 2011 and reaffirmed at the Tokyo Conference in 2012 rests firmly on the principle of mutuality.
Building on this unique framework, the international community has pledged 16 billion US dollars through 2015 in support of the economic and political stabilization of Afghanistan. And it has committed itself to sustain its support at or near levels of the past decade through 2017, in line with the principles of aid effectiveness. The Afghan Government, in return, has committed itself to achieving its governance and development goals in a determined manner.
During the past decade, Afghanistan has, indeed, achieved remarkable progress in a variety of areas, including health, education and infrastructure. However, continued efforts are of paramount importance to protect and advance the gains made in past years. In this context I welcome the resolve of the Government of Afghanistan to fulfil its commitments within an accelerated timeframe.
Third, the draft resolution expresses our appreciation about recent progress made in the preparation of presidential and provincial council elections. We particularly welcome the adoption of a legislative framework and the appointment of new members of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) and the Independent Electoral Complaints Commission (IECC). A broad range of political leaders have announced their candidacy to run in these historic elections. It is key that the exemplary work of the Afghan authorities results in a legitimate outcome and that widely accepted election results yield a peaceful transfer of power.
The electoral process is just one example of empowerment and leadership of Afghan institutions. We expect to see similar ownership and dedication by the Government in maintaining the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission as an effective institution for the protection and promotion of human rights. As reflected in the resolution, preserving and consolidating gains in the protection and promotion of human rights and the equal participation of all members of society, especially women, in all spheres of Afghan life remains critical.
Fourth, the draft resolution reiterates the importance of the Afghan-owned and Afghan-led peace and reconciliation process. For this process to yield sustainable results it needs to be inclusive. In this context, respect for the Afghan Constitution and its human rights provisions -and the rights of women in particular- is essential. The resolution expresses appreciation for the efforts of the Government of Afghanistan in advancing this process and reaffirms the continued support of the international community in this regard.
Finally, the Heart of Asia Process, aiming to enhance regional cooperation and dialogue, is another pillar for a peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan. We call on all partners and supporters to accelerate implementation of the agreed confidence building measures in the coming months. We commend China for hosting the next Ministerial meeting of the Heart of Asia process in 2014 and are looking forward to the process gaining renewed momentum.
To conclude, I would like to express my gratitude to all delegations who participated in this year's informal consultations and in particular to my distinguished colleague, Ambassador Tanin, and his team for their dedication and close cooperation.
By adopting this resolution once again by consensus, today, the General Assembly will reaffirm its commitment to a prosperous and peaceful future of Afghanistan and send a strong message of support to the Afghan Government and people.
Thank you very much."

Yesterday we had our 3 month follow-up/check-up since we've been back on the MTX. Overall I'd say Bev's been doing well, no side effects from the meds, althou she has NOT handled having to start the injections again well. When we got her labs last week, all her numbers were normal, which was great to see!
Everything looked good, except her knees still have some fluid in them. When we started back on the MTX we went straight to .4, but she could be up to .7 based on her weight. So we're going to go up to .5 for about 6-12 weeks and see if that helps (and how she handles it) and then if it doesn't help and she handles it well, we will go to .6 and see if we can get this fluid to go away.
Dr. R mentioned knee injections, but he would like to avoid those if possible. Plus Bev has always done well on the MTX so far so we are going to go as far as we can on that until it proves it isn't helping her anymore.
The one thing that has always been difficult with Bev is that whether her knees are swollen or not or they have fluid or not…that girl never complains. Dr. R was moving her knees every which way possible and Bev was staring off into lala land just smiling away. Dr. R was asking her if that hurt her and her response "nope". Even he was surprised that she wasn't phased by any of it. I definitely think that is the difference when you have JA since you were a baby/toddler and you are diagnosed with it as a kid/older child. When you've had it since you were a baby/toddler I don't think you know anything different; it's like low level pain is just the every day norm so it's just not even painful anymore. So when she does complain, I know it must be bad.
BTW, Miss Bev had a 5th birthday on Monday of this week, so our little JA hero is now the BIG 5 years old!!!

Did you know?
Plettenberg Bay was originally called Bahia Formosa, or beautiful bay, by Portuguese explorers.
Plettenberg Bay is a major attraction on the Garden Route. Its location on the Indian Ocean coast makes it one of the top visitor destinations in South Africa. Prepare to explore miles of sweeping, unspoilt golden beaches, a dramatic rocky peninsula, intriguing lagoons and estuaries, towering indigenous forests and unpolluted rivers and sea.
From Keurboomstrand to the Robberg Peninsula there are 15 kilometers of beaches interrupted only by a river mouth and Plett's iconic island.
Understandably, with these abundant natural resources, there's plenty to do in the charming seaside town. Popular Plettenberg Bay activities include exploring the bay by boat, fishing, canoeing its waterways, dolphin and seal spotting, and – in season – taking a whale watching excursion, when southern right whales come into the bay to calve.
The nearby rural hamlet of Wittedrift is a bird- and nature-lover's haven, while further afield, 20km from Plettenberg Bay, the Cruise the Crags route is ideal for wildlife viewing and browsing for arts and crafts. Another 10km along in Bitou you'll come upon Nature's Valley, a pristine indigenous forest fringed with unspoilt coastal bush.
At the base of the soaring Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains lies Storms River. Here teeming birdlife, Cape flora, wetlands and lagoons and ancient trees are a real find for nature lovers, while adrenalin-seekers will delight in the world's highest bungee jump and zipline tours.
Plett is also renowned as an adventure destination, with dozens of heart-stopping experiences to be found. Whether it's a canopy tour through the stunning Tsitsikamma forest, some 30m up or skydiving from the blue, each offers an exhilarating way to take in the bay and coastline from the air.
The town also boasts a number of wilderness experiences, including several walks and hikes through the forest, indigenous fynbos, gorges and mountains.
Game drives and horseback safaris may be enjoyed in the Plett Game Reserve, which boasts four of the Big Five. For a personal wildlife encounter, visit the Tenikwa Widlife Centre and take a once-in-a-lifetime walk with resident cheetah.
Plettenberg Bay is also home to a thriving arts community. Visit the nearby Simunye Community Centre for a fantastic selection of locally produced arts and crafts, including wood, metal and beadwork. You can also do the Cruise the Crags route, which includes a number of artists' workshops and farm stalls.
Take a break from the action with a relaxing stroll on the beach, a round of golf at any of the prized courses in the area or a visit to Plett's own wine estate.

After a stuttering first week, Brentford got their league season off to a flying start with a resounding 5-1 win over Crewe Alexandra at Griffin Park on Saturday.
Despite a burst of heavy rain, thunder and lightning doing its best to disrupt the match, the Bees turned in an impressive showing, one which saw both strikers notch doubles and captain Kevin O'Connor turn in a commanding performance at the heart of the midfield 'diamond'.
Clayton Donaldson opened the scoring when he controlled a Farid El Alagui cross from the right and struck a shot across goal and in off the left hand post.
Striker partner El Alagui doubled the advantage seven minutes later when he took advantage of slack control by Mark Ellis and fired past Alan Martin.
Sam Saunders tried his luck with a free kick from 25 yards, which had keeper Martin at full stretch to palm away.
Crewe threatened when Ajay Leitch-Smith latched onto a knock-down, but Simon Moore raced to the edge of his box to clear just ahead of the striker, while Mark headed wide at the back post from a
free kick on the right.
El Alagui extended Brentford's lead on the stroke of half time, firing home a cross from Shaleum Logan from ten yards out.
Crewe pulled one back almost immediately after the break, when Byron Moore broke down the right and cross for Mathias Pogba to steer the ball past Moore.
Yet despite Brentford inevitably slowly their furious tempo slightly during the second half, they weren't going to let their opponents back into the game.
They wrapped things up with two goals in the final six minutes, with first Harlee Dean heading home an excellent Saunders cross from the right and then Donaldson grabbing his second against his former side when he broke down the right side of the box and saw his shot deflected past Martin.
Brentford: Moore, Logan, Craig, Dean, Barron (sub Legge 73); O'Connor, Douglas, Diagouraga, Saunders (sub Forrester 85); El Alagui (sub Hayes 68), Donaldson
Subs (not used): Lee, Dallas, Fredericks, Redwood
Attendance: 4858
Man of the Match: Kevin O'Connor
Goals: Donaldson 13, 89; El Alagui 20,45; Dean 84

Second of three in a row on the road. Ya boys having lost two in a row and four of the last six (one of those in a breakaway contest they held after the hockey game ended).
Big emotional reunion for the Rangers and Michal Rozsival, Derek Morris, Lauri Korpikoski and Jason LaBarbera. Seriously, though, would you rather have Rozsival than Wojtek Wolski? I would.
Mike Rupp returns to the lineup tonight, but John Tortorella wouldn't say who comes out, and said there was a reason for that, but that he wouldn't say what it was. Interesting.
But we know Sean Avery is going to be prucha'd again.
And that Martin Biron starts in goal.
UPDATE: Apparently Artem Anisimov is ill and will not play tonight.
Also, be ready to be bombarded by these anti-Time Warner Cable ads tonight.

Tesco is officially declaring its U.S. Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market store experiment a failure.
Fresh & Easy's United Kingdom-based parent company issued a news release April 17 detailing preliminary results for Tesco's 2012-13 fiscal year, which ended Feb. 23.
"Based on our progress so far with our strategic review of Fresh & Easy, including the indications of interest received from third parties, we have confirmed that the outcome of the review will be an exit from the United States," Tesco officials stated in the release. "As such, Fresh & Easy has been treated as a discontinued operation within these results.
"Whilst the process is ongoing, and as such the form and final financial impact of the exit is still to be determined, we have written down the assets of the business and booked a provision for ongoing liabilities."
The largest British grocer, Tesco launched Fresh & Easy in 2007 and operated 200 small-format stores in California, Nevada and Arizona.
