When I became pregnant with our first child breastfeeding seemed like the obvious choice. For me it wasn't even really a choice it's just how you feed a baby. I have since learned that for some it isn't so simple. There can be issues with milk supply, improper latch... and for some the biggest challenge is going back to work. Any mom can benefit from having a good quality breast pump, but for mom's who have these struggles, a breast pump can be essential. For me it is about having the luxury to spend an evening out with my husband and occasionally lunch with a friend. All of these things brings me to the whole point of this post. Lansinoh is one of the leading companies in breastfeeding products. They sell disposable nursing pads, soothing gel breast pads, nipple cream, baby products, breast pumps to suit whatever your needs are and much more.
I was thrilled when Lansinoh offered to send me their new Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump. Check out these awesome features:
- Custom Expression TM Technology for maximum milk flow
- Guaranteed to prevent milk backup in tubing & pump
- One-touch let-down button
- ComfortFit TM breast flanges for a soft, secure fit
- Easy to use - easy to clean
- Adjustable cycle & suction
- Designed for everyday long term use at home or away
- Built-in bottle holders to help prevent spills
- AC adaptor or battery operated (6 AA batteries not included)
- BPA Free
I was more than excited to try it out. I had owned one pump in the past and it left me feeling tender and bruised, my nipples were normally purple when I was finished. Not a very enjoyable experience to say the least! Nor was it very effective. I was pleased (and relieved) to have a completely different experience with Lansinoh's Affinity pump. Here are my favorite things:
Custom Expression: There are 2 settings that ensure you get the most milk possible. First it starts with "Let Down mode" which is a quicker suction to help trigger your let down. After 2 minutes it automatically switches to "Expression mode", if you let down sooner you can hit the let down button and it switches over instantly. This setting is a slightly stronger, longer and slower suction. Think of your babes long gulps after your milk lets down. You can also customize the power of the suction This set up makes for a highly effective breast pump because it replicates a babies natural suction pattern and it is the first time I have seen a pump offer this feature.
Easy: The controls are very easy to understand. There is a set of buttons for each side so you can have different levels of suction for each breast if you need it. The only other buttons are the power and let down buttons and those are easy enough to handle! I particularly love the timer on the screen, I always forget to check either what time I started or what time I finished. This timer turns on and off automatically with the power button. It is simple to switch from pumping with two or one. Simply remove one tube and put the little cap over to prevent suction on the other side.
Any mom who is wanting to breastfeed will find the Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump is a must have! It is very comfortable to use with perfect suction that doesn't leave your breasts feeling tender. It is extremely effective in milk extraction and will be a helper to any mom who wants to store up milk for her little ones.

TAMPA — It's what strangers have volunteered to do that surprised the Hunt family the most.
Larsen Hunt, 25, was gunned down in her Seminole Heights home Oct. 26. Police say her former boyfriend, Jason Skinner, shot her before dying himself in a fiery car crash in St. Petersburg less than two hours later.
The murder left 5-year-old Aidric Hunt without his mom, who had devoted her life to caring for her autistic son.
Three days later, Clear Channel Outdoor called her brother, Matthew Hunt, asking what it could do to help.
The family agreed on billboards advertising a trust fund set up for the boy at Bank of America, said Richard Hunt, Larsen Hunt's father.
The company announced Wednesday that eight billboards in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties will be donated to the Aidric Hunt Assistance Fund.
The locations include the Veterans Expressway, Dale Mabry Highway and Fletcher Avenue.
Richard Hunt said the billboards are the newest in a list of ways the community has reached out to his grieving family.
The gym Larsen Hunt attended offered to donate proceeds of a weight-lifting competition to Aidric's fund. A friend built a website to tell Richard Hunt's daughter's story and collect donations for his grandson. And a Hillsborough High alum started a memorial page on Facebook.
"First and foremost we're hunkering down with Aidric trying to make it as sane as possible for him," Richard Hunt said. "It's just humbling."
The trust's administrator, Bank of America, has set up the fund so money can be withdrawn only with invoices and receipts detailing an expense for Aidric, Hunt said. "It's being done the right way. The money can only be used for Aidric's needs," he said.
Aidric, Hunt and his wife, Susan, have moved back into the home where his daughter died.
"We talked and reminisced as we walked through the house," he said. "And when we went through … the spirit of God just fell on us. There was a healing in the family. We were still hurting."
The family held a funeral Saturday for Larsen Hunt, who worked as a neonatal intensive care unit nurse at Tampa General Hospital. Hospital workers held their own memorial Tuesday in an auditorium. A plaque honoring her will be placed in the new NICU, Richard Hunt said.
Now, the family's focus has turned to Aidric, who needs stability more than ever.
Hunt, 58, owns a cabinet-making business and said business has been tough for the past two years. His wife is a school secretary.
"Not to sound militaristic, but we've dedicated our lives to him," Hunt said.

Each animal is given a chance to perform its talent and is judged by three celebrity judges who use a simple scale of 1 to 10, from 1 being bad to 10 being good, for a maximum total of 30. The top three highest scorers are then decided by an audience vote near the end of the show.

As much as I enjoyed making fun of Samsung for the train-wreck of a media event they held in March to announce the new Galaxy smartphone, I have to admit that for a while now, the Galaxy line has easily outperformed virtually every other Android device on the market. I liked the S3 a lot better than the iPhone 5 and the BlackBerry Z10. Even the Samsung Note, which I had a hard time taking seriously at first because it is, without hyperbole, the size of a living room table, eventually grew on me.
That's why I can't recommend the Galaxy S4 without reservation. It is a great phone – the best all-round Android phone on the market right now. But it is great only because the S3 was terrific, and Samsung, in building the S3's successor, pulled off one of the all-time achievements in not rocking the boat. The majority of new features on the S4 are either rushed, arbitrary or graduates of the Siri School Of Cool-Sounding But Ultimately Useless Gimmickry. If you want an Android phone, you should absolutely buy a Samsung Galaxy – by which I mean you should wait till the S4 comes out and then try to get an S3 at a discount.
Visually, the S4 looks like a fusion of the S3 and the Note II. Like the vast majority of touchscreen phones, it is a flat pane of glass (if you're the sort of person whose purchasing decisions are influenced by this sort of thing, you should know the S4 has curved corners and a smooth steel border). The phone's back cover – and, indeed, the entire phone – feels a lot sturdier than previous Galaxys, although I'm too scared of breaking my review unit to really smash it against the concrete. It did survive one five-foot fall onto the hardwood, and a couple of trips to the climbing gym, for what that's worth.
The button setup is largely unchanged, with a physical home button at the bottom of the screen, a physical power button on the right border and volume controls on the left. The back and settings buttons, on either side of the home button, are virtual and hidden, only lighting up and buzzing when you touch them – this is something I find annoying, but you'd probably get used to it pretty quickly if you actually owned one of these devices and used those buttons all the time.
Because it is one of those areas where nobody really objects if you crank everything up to 11, Samsung has loaded the S4 with superlative processing power and other hardware specs. The Gorilla-Glass-protected, five-inch HD screen is as sharp as anything else out there (although I'd still take the Note II for watching movies, not only because the screen is bigger, but because the widescreen format feels far less wonky on the Note's dimensions). The 1.9-gigahertz, quad-core processor is, to be honest, overkill. But the good news is that there's probably not much you can do to make the S4 feel sluggish – for all intents and purposes, the bottleneck now becomes your network connection speeds. The S4, oddly, also packs a well-made on-board speaker. I don't know anybody who listens to anything on their smartphones without using headphones, but if you are that person, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the S4.
Of all the hardware upgrades, the new, larger battery was the most welcome. Like the iPhone, the S4 will still conk out after two-thirds of a day of heavy usage (give or take, obviously), but with light usage, you'll get a lot more out of it than you'd expect for such a burly, fuel-hungry processor.Report Typo/Error

Best Buy starts accepting pre-orders for Verizon, AT&T and Sprint branded Motorola Moto X
0. phoneArena posted on 03 Aug 2013, 16:17
Those interested in the Motorola Moto X can reserve their phone right now from Best Buy; the big box retailer is accepting pre-orders for the Verizon, Sprint and AT&T version of the handset. The 16GB variant of the phone will cost you $199.99 with a signed two-year pact. As we've told you before, the version of the Moto X that is being offered by the carriers is not the customized model that can be designed by the buyer...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. PootisMan (Posts: 260; Member since: 02 Aug 2013)
I just really hope they release a Google Play edition version for a good price. This phone will be a huge success if they manage to pull that off.
3. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
I assume by good price you mean $199 off-contract like some hopeless people thought the Moto X would be priced at? (yes, some actually believed that... sigh)
It'll probably be around $550 for 16gb as usual. I don't know why anyone would even want to get it at that point, though. Since it is stock, it'll lose the cool features like Active Display and Touchless Control. Yeah, you'll have an unlocked bootloader, full access etc. But you can already find ways to bypass them for carrier versions.
The Galaxy S4 Google Edition will have all the sensors sitting there rotting, and for what? I can't understand why people want that. Just get a plain jane high spec monster with stock Android. These specialized phones with stock Android is just wasted hardware and potential.
4. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Actually the rumor was $300-$400 off contract. nobody was expecting $550 because this is considered a midrange device.
Sony, well known for over priced phones, has the Xperia SP which is one of the closest specs wise to this phone and it cost $350-$400 off contract brand new. The SP also has a micro sd slot.
5. Captain_Doug (Posts: 1035; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Exactly this. I'd price the Moto X at around $350-400. IF Google Play can match that it's a no brainer. I'll probably still but it if it's more but I'd feel a little bummed.
14. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
One of the articles that PA posted on the heels of the X's release was that a Play edition for the major carriers would be available toward the end of 2013. That kind of tracks to when the major carriers would start to cut the subsidized price to clear out their stock of X phones. Only issue is whether the X is worth waiting for 3 to 4 months for the Play edition?
7. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
This is what is so funny to me. People hear an unrealistic rumor, buy into it with fervor, then blame Motorola and even Google when the rumor some d-bag spread was wrong. Do I think $550 is high? Yes, personally, I really do. That isn't the same as raging on about it though.
Now with a new assembly plant in Forth Worth there will be higher overhead from American labor as well as customizable parts. If you want that lower price, you better hop on a plane to China and start cracking that whip that many people apparently 'oppose'... So I guess slave labor is bad until it makes your smartphones more expensive, then it's ok again? 'Geev uz er jerbz agen!' but when costs elevate accordingly, it's not fair?
Google promised Motorola to be run independently in certain ways, because they had to. That means Google, who has a lot of extra cash and is affluent, cannot subsidize ANYTHING without severe repercussions. It's been mentioned countless times but people still don't get it.

After import fees and the continuing rise of Chinese workers demanding higher pay it barley cost anything more to make in USA.
11. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
It's true, the Chinese cannot suppress the Yuan forever, and it's starting to show.
That doesn't change anything though -- they can just move production to Vietnam, Indonesia, etc. They're far from out of options.
Think about this: even after these so called import fees, with the currently 'higher wages' the Chinese workers are getting, they still work out a bigger profit AND a lower price point that we Americans are used to comparatively.
Lets face it -- the public speaks out against sweatshop labor and taking local jobs away, but that is not what their actions reflect.

I got this from another tech site, "the full price for the Moto X is listed as $699.99 by Best Buy." Apparently, it's a top of the line, high-end device(according to one of the PA authors anyways), and priced like it.

Just because it doesnt have 1080p display and quadcore cou, doesnt make it mid range, the X8 has first the best gpu a dual core clocked at 1.7ghz and yes you would think it would lag, but with the context computing core and language core I think performance might be up to par with any high end phone, if it performs like the HTC One and give me touchless voice controls, with a decent camera why not? I think the way you access google now on the moto x, is the way it should have been done in the first place.
21. jdoee100 (Posts: 334; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
If display, cpu, camera, and battery(four main components of smartphone) are not enough to convince you, then read other tech site's reviews. Most tech sites, analysts and reviewers think this is mid range device. WSJ is disappointed with this device because of price and spec. Read comments, majority of commenters think this is mid-range. Victor from this site think this is mid-range. If you think all these reviewers, commenters, and tech sites are wrong, then I have nothing more to add.
22. jdoee100 (Posts: 334; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
I probably won't object as much, if people claimed Moto X is a superior device because of usability, practicality, and its new features. Focus on its strengths, and stop trying to compare it spec for spec because it's going to lose. Moto X is just not a high-end device in terms hardware or overall performance(speed wise).
23. sniper1087 (Posts: 532; Member since: 31 Dec 2011)
what? the only thing that has validity is the display, camera requires more testing, and some pics look very similar to the lumia 1020 in how it handles color, battery nobody has tested it, but moto claims 24 hours with everything on which is great, cpu might not be huge, but it might not require that much to run smooth, remember they have 2 other cores taking care of some of the functions if thats the case and can run a smooth as the HTC One people will be happy with it, I agree the display could have been better but most people are fine with 720p counting me which I used both, while you can see the difference side by side, but is not a deal breaker, no tech site has validity when they had the phone for less than 24 hours, nobody should be mentioning battery life until they have gone through a full charge cycle.

i don't see this phone doing great, good maybe, but not great. Its a game changer for sure, but Motorola is gonna have to find a very clever way of convincing people its not all about the specs with Android anymore...
8. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
If they would of used a 1080p screen and quad core cpu nobody would of questioned the price.
9. roscuthiii (Posts: 2241; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
Yep... wouldn't even have to be S600 for me. A quad-core of their custom S4 Pro would have been fine. But as this phone ages I can't help but feel it will be getting a little longer in the tooth then its contemporaries. After two years I *like* to upgrade my phone, I don't want to *have to* upgrade it.
That's a little bit of a tall order considering the pace of consumer technology advancement, but as it is I think I'l wait for the Moto X 2.
Maybe the 32GB Developer Edition will be reasonable enough to sway me back though.
13. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
If this phone is a success, ill be waiting for Samsung to get "inspired" and start putting some kind of similar feature as the voice commands on the X, on their galaxies....... :(
lol sorry for trolling
16. scsa852k (Posts: 331; Member since: 16 Oct 2012)
T-Mo used to have Nexus 4 for $199.99 for 2-yr pact for some odd reason.
So I think Moto X could be around $350~450 for GPE.
18. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Tmobile charged MSRP for the nexus 4 I think it was $500 off contract for the 8GB, its still like $400 and its almost a year later.
24. TechBlue (Posts: 80; Member since: 06 May 2010)
from my perspective any phone with a non-removable battery is a disposable phone. anything goes wrong with the battery, and they got your $.....epic fail on these kinds of phones

Fantasy Beat
Hot Spots: Outfield
The big news in the Cubs outfield this spring isn't on the radar (or Heater's Radar Tracker) yet, and that's because former first-round pick Tyler Colvin is still a longshot to make the opening-day roster. PECOTA forecasts him hitting .231/.289/.400 if given playing time, which seems somewhat pessimistic, given his .300/.334/.524 performance at AA last year with a reasonable .328 BABIP. Manager Lou Piniella is tempted, however, since Xavier Nady won't be able to throw well enough to play the outfield until June.
That turns the outfield spotlight on Sam Fuld. Fuld is a good defensive centerfielder. He bats lefty with enough of a platoon advantage that he could probably survive as a platoon leadoff hitter (his career minor-league OBP is .370 and he's hit righties with a typical platoon split) and could almost certainly play frequently as fourth outfielder for a team overloaded with righty bats. Despite his age, he's risen through the minors at a good pace after making his professional debut in 2006 at high-A ball. Obviously, hitting .150 in spring training so far is undermining his chances to grab the available playing time.
Don't expect to see both Fuld and Colvin on the roster, as the winner of the Chad Tracy/Micah Hoffpauir battle will be expected to be the 5th outfielder until Nady returns. Soriano appears to be healthy, but he's averaged just 120 games played the past three years, and either Byrd or Fuld will have to spell him more often than the Cubs would like.
* = Range stats not available, or from alternate position
Mat Gamel's right shoulder injury isn't considered serious, but it's kept him out of the lineup for a few days and has gotten him scratched from the outfield depth chart. Since he throws right-handed, his effectiveness at any fielding position may be in doubt, and he'd be a prime candidate to return to the minors if Casey McGehee wasn't floundering at the plate.
Carlos Gomez was never in a battle for playing time, with the expectation being that he'd play as often as he could stay healthy, but he's worth a note for the fact that he already has seven (7) steals in the spring. Gomez is 59-21 in stealing in his 1102 career plate appearances. While Speed Score takes stolen base percentage into account, he's still managed a 7.5 career mark and is widely regarded as one of the faster players in the game despite the fact that his steal totals aren't overwhelming and he gets caught a lot. Going on age 24 and coming to the easier league, Gomez has a great chance to exceed his PECOTA forecast of .249/.310/.369 with 30 SB.
Both Jim Edmonds and Joe Inglett are in camp for the Brewers, and while there's no indication that either has made the roster, Edmonds is hitting .316/.409/.579 so far. Inglett's value will be determined by whether he can convince Ken Macha that he's able to play the infield still, but with Craig Counsell, Mat Gamel, Jody Gerut, and Jim Edmonds all batting left-handed as well , his chances aren't good.
* = Range stats not available, or from alternate position
Quoting Brian La Shier, the Heater team expert, "Russell Branyan missed his ST debut due to a herniated disc in his lower back. Cleveland still views Branyan's cranky back as a "manageable" issue, so expect plenty of rest for the 34-year-old slugger this year." Shelley Duncan, meanwhile has hit just .169/.239/.354 against righties in his almost non-existant career though he's been able to torch minor-league righties as well as lefties. His projection isn't bad at all, and fantasy owners who have Branyan may want to consider "handcuffing" their position with Duncan. His top comparables (from PECOTA) are:
Even the good players on this list declined rapidly, so view him as a very high-risk player.
Added last on the above table, without any playing time projected, and out of alphabetical order, is Michael Brantley. Though he probably won't get the Carte Blanche green light under Manny Acta that he did under Eric Wedge in September, Brantley is going to be a good source of stolen bases when opportunity knocks for him to start in left field. He can be expected to add enough runs with his fielding and his baserunning to make up for his limited slugging percentage. He's taking care of business by getting on base more then 40% of the time in spring training. That will keep him on Acta's mind if LaPorta's injuries act up again, or Branyan can't play full-time.

Washington : A new study has shed some light on the charismatic speaking strategies of the presidential candidates.
The UCLA researchers examined the speech patterns of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina in a variety of settings to determine whether the presidential candidates followed the same voice modulation strategies. They researchers found that despite the politicians' varied messages, their vocal delivery remains the same.
"Our hypothesis is that persuasive goals change when you address a different audience, and this change is reflected in voice acoustics," said researcher Rosario Signorello.
The researchers examined the fundamental frequency, also known as pitch, or F0, of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and Carly Fiorina in three different settings – political rallies, meetings with other political figures, and nonpolitical talk show interviews.
They found that in large venues filled with voters, all four figures employed a very wide fundamental frequency range, a method Signorello and his colleagues previously demonstrated as key to being perceived as charismatic.
When the four politicians were formally addressing other leaders, Clinton addressing the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, Sanders speaking to the U.S. Senate and Trump and Fiorina appearing at a New Hampshire Leadership Summit, the researchers found that the speakers varied their pitch from very low to medium, eschewing high frequencies altogether. This pattern of use is also found among other mammals, where lower frequency voices often reflect physical size, power, or dominance.
"This vocal profile seems to reflect leaders' use of vocalizations to display dominance while addressing speakers of the same social status," Signorello said. "They use voice to convey their authoritarian charisma."
Signorello and his colleagues also examined the vocal profiles of Clinton, Sanders, Trump and Fiorina in more casual, nonpolitical settings, such as late night talk shows, finding that they use a "healthy" voice or the normal, non-varying voice they use to speak with their families.
"We found that the leaders, both Democratic and Republican, both genders – have a similar voice profile which is completely different than the other voice profiles in the other [rally and peer] communication contexts," Signorello said.
Signorello and his colleagues currently plan to further investigate the biological basis of charismatic speech in social structures by examining vocal patterns in nonhuman primates. "The goal of this research is to find a link between species, to demonstrate that the similarities in vocalizations between male and female charismatic speakers, in different languages and cultures, are the result of an evolved way of using vocalization by a group's leaders."
The study has been presented at 171st meeting of the Acoustical Society of America. (ANI)

Synopsis Standing on the fringes of life... offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up. ;;My absolute favorite book of all time. Without a doubt.

Coming in at number 10 on the list of most frequently challenged books of 2007 is this novel composed as a series of letters written by high school freshman Charlie. Charlie's life is drama-laden and he indulges in it as only a sensitive adolescent can. There's not an issue that doesn't come up, creating lots of stuff for people to object to: language, sex, and homosexuality among them.

Our Kitchen Garden competition (August 27) in which readers shared memories of their fathers and male mentors was a great success. The winner of Josh Byrne's book Small Space Organics and a bag of Yates products was Annette Sainsbury of Pearce.
Here is her story:
"I have chosen to write about my son-in-law. The first time I met him he reminded me of the lean, lanky, laconic bushmen in a Russell Drysdale painting, It's probably no coincidence Drysdale is his favourite artist. He has the Australian soil in his blood, and while his soil is that of the Riverina, he now loves the land of the ACT and its surrounds.
"His new son Liam was introduced to the Canberra bush in his first week and the family continues to enjoy the local hills and pathways. He loved to take 'the boy' roo spotting. He's been known to come home with a blue tongue lizard snuggled inside his motorcycle jacket, saved from the hot Hindmarsh Drive speedway.
"His understanding of the soil in Canberra backyards has taken some hard work, though that is something he is never afraid of. He would phone me excitedly at odd hours of the day and night for composting tips and then proceed to tell me enthusiastically about his latest theory or source of compost food, from mountains of coffee grounds from a cafeteria to cow and horse manure from the local paddocks.
"The king of compost then began researching seriously. The result was a veritable ziggurat of hay bales which reduced garden and kitchen waste to a black worm-infested product in a matter of weeks, just as Google had predicted, to be envied by the less adventurous. Onecold winter's night the phone call came to go and see 'something' in the backyard. It was the glowing, steaming compost heap, more like an iron furnace, with a life of its own. Every three weeks the invitation come again to look and admire the natural wonder of that construction and examine the latest successful result.
"The king has grown some mighty vegetables, fed by that compost. Unfortunately the neighbourhood predator possums and rats have bookmarked his backyard, feasting on the corn, tomatoes and pumpkins. I have no doubt he will come up with a solution for this season."
So Food and Wine caught up with Rodger Gorey, of Torrens, who is the king of compost, and is Annette Sainsbury's son-in-law. His worm-wriggling compost is the best I have seen in decades of garden writing for The Canberra Times.
We met on a hill in Woden among boulders where blue-tongue lizards live in the crevices and our CT photographer, Jay Cronan, caught a glimpse of one. Gorey had a trailer-load of compost goodies.
Among the brown elements there was a grand collection of faggots and larger branches from autumn cuttings, bags of leaves from Gorey's neighbour's garden and his own, broken down lucerne bales that had a plentiful supply of worms from last season's hot composting, and lucerne 'biscuits' that he uses currently to cover a garden bed. He also was lucky to receive a free dumping of coarse mulch from a local tree prune, about three metres square.
Green/protein compost ingredients he uses include home vegie scraps in a sealed compost tumbler, coffee grounds from commercial areas (City edge cafe in Civic and HOZ Express cafe in Woden). He also gathers vegetable scraps from commercial waste bins and City Edge, where they separate their vegie scraps.
Gorey says he really likes recycling carbon and green materials to produce organic crops. His wife Kathryn Sainsbury and her mother are great at growing from seeds, seedlings and striking plants and spring plantings include carrot, spinach, lettuce , rocket, corn, tomatoes and eggplant. They also have young apricot, lemon and peach trees. His role is to provide the soil in which to grow.
He enjoys the time and energy it takes, collecting, lifting, moving, mulching and the rotation of materials.
The use of personal gardening tools also reminds him of times on the farm in Leeton, watering, using a shovel and comparing one tool against another for different jobs. Gorey says it is the best way to spend a day off.
The cooking role is shared in his household using a blend of recipes that are family-based and from books. They use quick links to online sites for impromptu cooking but also have a collection of cookbooks stored by author's name as well as country of origin.
Susan Parsons is a Canberra writer.

Floor preparation was unparalleled - after 4 previous floor disasters, I've got a good understanding of how this all works. To ensure a level floor, they ground down high bits and used a self-leveller to bring up the low bits. They worked late when necessary to get it finished in time - and I mean late - 10 or 11pm. They cleaned up after themselves and we had a team here every day until the job was complete. Excellent job!
