1. Bumpil Pillow:
I tried the pillow from Target (the snoogle I think it's called) which I think is the most popular one but I hated it. It felt so lumpy and uncomfortable. Well I went shopping around Valdosta and saw this one! Yes, it's expensive (like $65) but totally worth every penny! I have used it every night since the first trimester and it's a lifesaver. It does take up a LOT of room in our queen bed but it is so comfortable and helps me sleep on that dreaded left side!

Felicity Ashton is about to attempt to be the first woman to cross the Antarctic alone - weather permitting.
The 33-year-old British explorer is about to embark on a gruelling 1,700km, 65-day ski journey, though she is currently stranded at base camp at Union Glacier, waiting for the adverse weather conditions to improve before she can set off.
Using only muscle power to fuel her voyage, Ashton will begin her mission by flying to the Ross Ice Shelf at the foot of the Leverett Glacier. She will ski up the glacier, go through the Transantarctic Mountains and climb onto the Polar Plateau. When she reaches the South Pole, she'll collect a new supply of food and fuel before continuing across the plateau, finishing her journey at Hercules Inlet.
If she is successful, the Kent-born adventurer will also take the title as the first ever British woman to cross the entirety of the Antarctic.
It's a mental challenge as well as a physical one. Ashton has had to prepare herself, with the help of a doctor, for the months of mental strain, endless seclusion, and the featureless horizon. 'I'm looking forward to finding out what it will be like to go that length of time without seeing anyone,' she says. 'There's a definite appeal to just getting going, and seeing how simple life becomes when all you have to worry about is eating, sleeping and skiing.'
One upside to the arduous conditions: she'll be able to indulge in a sizeable amount of chocolate-eating. 'I get to eat chocolate all day and I still manage to lose weight,' she says. 'So that's a bonus.'

What with winter drawing near I quite fancy building up a do it all hardtail to use in bad conditions, commute to work, play on it the woods in the summer etc...
I have always wanted a Santa Cruz Chameleon frame are there another similar frames? I like the idea of a pre 2007 chameleon as I can run V's on it should I want, but surely there are other options from other manufacturers.
Being a gigantic 5'6 I would be looking for a medium or small size frame (21.5-22 inch TT is a good starting point). I did have an Orange Sub Zero for a few years and that was great I would like something a bit less ugly!!
If anyone has anything lying around they are no longer using then get in touch.

State-owned gas utility GAIL India Ltd today commissioned a Rs 4,500 crore pipeline carrying gas from the just operationalised Dabhol LNG terminal into Bengaluru that promises to change the energy landscape of the region.
State-owned gas utility GAIL India Ltd today commissioned a Rs 4,500 crore pipeline carrying gas from the just operationalised Dabhol LNG terminal into Bengaluru that promises to change the energy landscape of the region.
The 1,000-km pipeline will feed industries at Belgaum, Dharwad, Gadag, Bellary, Davanagere, Chitradurga, Tumkuyr, Ramanagaram and Bengaluru who have till now been using costlier and polluting liquid fuels like naphtha and diesel as feedstock.

"With gas coming in, the devil of pollution will disappear from the City of Gardens," Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily said after inaugurating the pipeline. Gas will help the state power generation utility save Rs 800 crore annually by reducing cost, improving efficiency and drastically cutting down pollution caused by using liquid fuels.
The pipeline, he said, will be extended to Mangalore this year and further to Kochi in Kerala by end of next year. Gas in its liquid form, or liquefied natural gas (LNG), imported at the just commissioned Dabhol terminal in Maharasthra would fire industries in Karnataka. GAIL commenced supply of gas through the line to its first customer Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts Pvt Ltd.
The Dabhol-Bengaluru pipeline has a capacity to carry 16 million standard cubic meters of gas per day, he said, adding 73-km of line have been laid in Bengaluru city that would help in beginning CNG supplies to automobiles as well as piped cooking gas to households.
"We will work to give GAIL the licence for operating city gas in Bengaluru and may be in two months, we will see the first CNG station in the city," he said. GAIL also signed an agreement to supply 0.6 million tones of LNG to Karnataka Power Corp Ltd's proposed 1,400 MW Bidadi power plant.
KPCL Managing Director M R Kamble said the first phase of 750 MW would now be built in next two to two-and-half years at an estimated cost of Rs 2,800 crore. 170 acres of land for the project has already been acquired and all clearances obtained.
Also, there is possibility of the 350 MW Yelahanka power plant switching over from diesel to gas to save cost, he said. Together with 1,400 MW Bidadi power plants, Bengaluru would have 1,750 MW of generation capacity against a demand of 1,500 MW.
GAIL Chairman and Managing Director B C Tripathi said the company had imported two shiploads of LNG at Dabhol and a third would be imported in next week to 10 days.
The firm is planning a massive expansion of its 10,000 km of pipeline network with 3,000 km of lines under execution and another 2,000 km on drawing board, which would take up the transmission capacity to 350-400 million standard cubic meters per day. Gas, he said, would help power generation utilities save Rs 700 to 800 crore in fuel cost.

It's been a great base to explore all the lovely coastline from. The views from the headland at Mwnt were breathtaking. There's something quite mysterious and imposing about the Stone-age structure at Pentre Ifan. And the Ferry Inn at St Dogmaels hit the spot with fish 'n' chips and a pint of Brains SA."

"Thank you very much for this perfect stay, Yvonne & David. When we came here we were quite sure to find a nice location - as seen in the internet.

Also the walks through the garden and all the time I was likely to have talks with you about this very special place will be in my memories. Thank you very much for everything. P.S.

"Our second stay... and despite the apparent summer weather trying to put a dampener on things, we had an amazing time. This place is a little gem and the setting just gets better and better. We loved the cycling all around Pembrokeshire and returning to the cosy cottage to recover and tell David & Yvonne about our adventures. You couldn't wish for nicer hosts. Always welcoming and always helpful, especially when you arrive with woefully inadequate footwear and no maps!! We will definitely return, not only to see the wonderful area but also these awesome people! We will miss you both - come visit us soon. Lots of love. xxx" K & C, Somerset, July 2015

ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
Ever since I went to my first convention back in 1998 (Comic Con), I fell in love with the idea of cosplaying. I first started cosplaying in 2000 with a very horribly put together (thrift store bought and put together) Miaka costume for Anime Expo. Since then I have had costumes commissioned for me and have taken up to sewing some of my own costumes. Besides enjoying anime and Japanese culture, I'm passionate about music and its currently what I'm working towards getting my Bachelor's degree. I'm also of Christian faith. ^_^

More than 800 law enforcement officers cracked down on gangs throughout San Diego County over the weekend as part of an operation to disrupt the flow of drugs, weapons and money between local gangs and Mexico's drug cartels.
Operation Allied Shield II
By the numbers
Arrests: 307
Citations: 310
Field interviews: 710
Documented gang members identified: 147
Documented gang members arrested: 52
Warrants cleared: 38
DUIs: 19
Drug seizures: 77
Source: San Diego Sheriff's Department
The multiagency effort, dubbed "Operation Allied Shield II," concluded early Sunday with 307 arrests, 310 citations and 77 drug seizures.
Weapons, ammunition, bullet-resistant vests and vehicles were also seized during the operation, as well as nearly 4 pounds of marijuana, 87 pot plants and 228 grams of cocaine.
Officers also believe they may have prevented a possible assault or murder of a gang member by a rival gang during the sweep.
"Since the '90s, gangs in San Diego County have supported the drug distribution networks and acted as enforcers for cartels in Mexico," San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said at a news conference Monday.
"The more we put pressure on the gangs, the safer we can keep San Diego County."
Local, state and federal law enforcement spread out in neighborhoods known for gang activity throughout the region, following up on outstanding warrants, investigating tips from sources and contacting gang members and associates. Arrests were made for parole and probation violations, drug activity, weapons possession and drunken driving.
There are about 200 documented gangs in the county, authorities said.
The operation was funded through the federal Stonegarden Grant, which in the past three years has funneled about $28 million to law enforcement in the county to combat border-related crime. The money has paid for overtime and technology, such as surveillance cameras and license plate readers.
Law enforcement conducted a similar sweep in April, making 282 arrests and writing 221 citations.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

On the same day it posted a loss of $10.4 million (around £5.7 million) for the first quarter of 2004, RealNetworks also announced its president, Lawrence Jacobson had resigned, effective immediately.
After working for the Seattle-based digital media company for three years, Jacobson served his notice "to pursue other opportunities and spend more time with his family," RealNetworks said in a statement. Jacobson will continue to work temporarily for the company as a strategic adviser, and RealNetworks has no plans to fill the position of president at this time, it said.
Assuming Jacobson's responsibility for running the company's international operations, RealNetworks promoted Dan Sheeran from senior vice president of marketing to senior vice president international.
On the financial side, RealNetworks' $10.4 million net loss for the quarter ended March 31 - equal to a loss of $0.06 per share - was almost double its net loss of $5.3 million or $0.03 per share in the fourth quarter of 2003. On a year-on-year basis, in the first quarter of 2003 the company posted a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.02 per share.
The company said the lion's share of its losses in the first quarter was due to expenses related to the removal of PGA Tour. content from its subscription services (a loss of $4.9 million) and the costs of RealNetworks' antitrust litigation ($2.3 million). Excluding those expenses, the net loss was $3.2 million or $0.02 per share, it said.
RealNetworks lodged a private suit against Microsoft last year, accusing the software giant of using its monopoly powers to control the digital media market.
On a brighter note, revenue for the quarter was $60.4 million, up 29 percent from the first quarter of 2003 and an increase of 12 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2003, the company said.
RealNetworks credited the growth in revenue to robust consumer services, particularly in music and games. The company said it currently has over 450,000 subscribers to its digital music services.
Additionally, the company's first quarter results include approximately $2 million of revenue associated with the acquisition of GameHouse in January, it said.
RealNetworks expects its momentum to continue and forecast a return to quarterly profitability by the end of 2004, excluding antitrust litigation expenses.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police and FBI officials say a fugitive shot and killed by police and a federal agent as he stood on a rooftop was not armed, despite initial reports that he not only had a gun but fired it.
Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said Wednesday that officers believed 27-year-old double-murder suspect Frank Martinez had a gun in his pocket and discharged it, but the investigation has shown no evidence of that.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said both agencies were looking to correct the record quickly.
Neither would give a reason why Martinez was thought to have a gun, saying the investigation would be long and far-reaching.
A police-FBI task force cornered Martinez Thursday at a La Mirada home. He climbed on the roof of the garage and was shot.

We've posted about our experiences blogging and tricks we've learned, but neither of us will pretend to be a blogging expert. We learn something new EVERY day. This week, we asked our friend Kas from Southern Bellas Ways to Save to share about Stumble with you all. Amee and I are just learning to Stumble, so this post is to our benefit as well as yours.
1. First things first make sure you have a Stumble Upon Account
2. Set up your interests. I personally clicked things that would most interest me. These are the types of sites that will come up when you click the blog stumble button on your toolbar.
3. Download the browser toolbar (I use FF)
4. On your toolbar you will see: STUMBLE> ALL> I LIKE IT (THUMBS UP)> THUMBS DOWNS> TAG BUTTON> FACEBOOK SHARE BUTTON> INFO> FAVORITES> STUMBLERS> TOOLS
5. Throughout the day I click the Stumble button and see lots of random websites. Even some blogs I frequent. I click the thumbs up/thumbs down accordingly. If you REALLY want a post to take off you should click the INFO button and leave a review of the site or post you are stumbling. Make sure you choose the right tags as well. IF it's a recipe don't write shopping etc.
What makes Stumble Upon work is that you are discovering other posts/sites not just your own. So for every 10-20 then stumble your own. It takes time to build your stumbles, but once you do your rating gets bumped up and it will benefit the person you stumble.
*Please note: You can't stumble giveaways

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
Game of the Week
No. 1 Helix (2-0) at No. 7 Cathedral Catholic (1-1) Friday 7 p.m.
Defending state champion Helix hasn't missed a beat so far this season, as the Highlanders have beaten their first two opponents by an average of 29.5 points. Senior running back Michael Adkins (237 yards, six touchdowns) leads a Helix offense quarterbacked by junior Josh Harris (431 yards, three touchdowns), and the top-ranked Highlanders have been stout on defense. Helix faces a tough test when it travels to face seventh-ranked Cathedral Catholic, who dropped in the rankings after a surprising loss to rival Torrey Pines last week. The Dons have talent and experience on both sides of the ball, and will be looking to bounce back in the only regular season matchup between 2011 section champions. Helix and Cathedral Catholic met in La Mesa last season, a 48-14 Highlanders' victory that propelled both teams to section crowns.
Best of the Rest
No. 10 El Camino (2-0) at Olympian (2-0) Friday 7 p.m.
El Camino and Olympian have quietly gotten off to quick starts this season, and one team will be perfect through three weeks after this North County-South Bay matchup. Led by senior two-way star Justin Williams, the Wildcats opened the season with decisive wins over San Diego and Mira Mesa and are aiming to start 3-0 for the first time in 11 seasons. Olympian has rolled to victories over Point Loma and Hilltop to open the season, and the Division III runner-up from last season has impressed early on in 2012.
No. 8 St. Augustine (2-0) at Mater Dei (2-0) Friday 7 p.m.
The winner of this Catholic school clash in Chula Vista will continue an undefeated start to the season and establish itself as a title contender in Division IV. Eighth-ranked St. Augustine has a balanced offensive attack led by junior quarterback JoJo Hudson (350 yards) and junior running back Tyler Herburger (275 yards, four touchdowns), and the Saints' defense has only allowed one second-half touchdown in its first two games. Mater Dei has beaten its first two opponents by an average of 31 points, but faces its toughest test of the early season against St. Augustine. The Saints have won six meetings in a row against the Monarchs dating back to 2006, including a 38-13 win last season.
Christian (2-0) at El Cajon Valley (2-0) Friday 7 p.m.
Defending Division V champion Christian is off to an undefeated start, but faces a challenge against big school and fellow unbeaten El Cajon Valley. Christian has won its first two games by an average of 36 points, fueled by the passing of junior Michael Carrillo (484 yards, seven touchdowns). After winning four games over the last three seasons, El Cajon Valley is one of surprising early unbeatens in 2012. The Braves have a run-heavy attack led by senior back Antoine White (208 yards, three touchdowns) and have held opponents to 10 points per game in their first two contests. Less than three miles separate these East County schools, and this game could be just as close on the scoreboard.
Westview (2-0) vs. Santa Fe Christian (1-1) Friday 7 p.m. at Del Norte High
Santa Fe Christian is one of the top small schools in the section this season, and the Eagles continue a challenging preseason slate against undefeated Westview. The Eagles bounced back from a season-opening loss by blowing out Coronado last week, a 35-0 win in which they forced five turnovers. Of all the undefeated teams in the section, no team has done so in narrower fashion than Westview. The Wolverines won their first two games by a combined six points, and scored 22 points in the fourth quarter to defeat Rancho Buena Vista 39-35 last week. These two teams met in the opening week of the 2011 season, with the Wolverines prevailing 21-0.
In the Red Zone
Clairemont (2-0) at Mission Bay (2-0) Friday 3 p.m.
A pair of city unbeatens meet in the Red Zone's Friday matinee in Pacific Beach. Mission Bay has won its first two games with a playmaking defense and a quarterback rotation of junior Nick Plum and sophomore Devon Johnson, while Clairemont is off to its best start in a long time. Which team can keep its hot start going?

Nice upgrade over Interlink 400!
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I bought this because I have been very pleased with the improvement an M850I interconnect had made over a Gold Series and the M650i was one third of what I had paid for the M850i. I installed it in place of a Monster Cable Interlink 400 and did not expect much difference, but it proved to be a major improvement in clarity and detail overall, and tautness of bass in particular. I am very pleased and would highly recommend it if you can get it at a reasonable price. I haven't compared it directly to the M850i, but I'm pretty sure they would sound quite similar. The M650i falls short of the refined sound of my more exotic interconnects which use gold-plated OCC or silver-plated OFC conductors.
Pros: Nice build quality and connectors. Very good sound quality at an extremely reasonable price. Crutchfield shipped quickly and packaged well, so it arrived in perfect condition.
Cons: None at this price point.

A struggle to survive the death throes of middle class values in a small Pennsylvania steel town forms the backdrop for Director Scott Cooper's gritty drama Out of the Furnace.
The film stars Christian Bale as Russell Baze, a blue collar worker in a local steel mill, who just can't seem to catch a break. His father is terminally ill, his younger brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) is having difficulty readapting to civilian life after seeing duty in Iraq, and a twist of fate lands Russell in prison. Upon his release, Russell tries to pick up the pieces of his life but finds things complicated, especially after Rodney ‑ who was lured into the underground world of street fighting by a vicious crime ring ‑ mysteriously disappears.

There was no press release, no formal announcement. Without fanfare the mayor of New York launched a $2 million initiative this spring to encourage breastfeeding, first by banning the maternity ward ritual of handing out free baby formula samples to mothers. I only caught wind of the plan because Jennifer Zajfe got offended by it.
"Hospitals are no longer mom-friendly," Zajfe proclaims in a recent New York Times op-ed. After her cesarean, the free samples were a "godsend," she writes, and furthermore, "neither the government nor the medical establishment should try to manipulate a woman's decision" to bottle or breastfeed by withholding a formula company's "gift."
But gifting isn't what's really going on here. Bloomberg is right: breast is best. Nothing in a can comes close -- the research is very clear on that. And if the baby doesn't "latch" early on, the milk won't keep coming. The CDC calls this a "time sensitive" relationship.
Formula companies make their profit by interrupting, coming between baby and breast. And only in the U.S. do we invite these companies into the hospital, right up to the postpartum ward, directly onto woman's laps, where we lay a "gift" bag full of freebies, coupons, and glossy literature, all stamped with the company logo. The heaviest thing in the tote is of course a six-pack of formula -- just enough so that when baby finishes it, mom's milk has dried up.
That's why UNICEF and the World Health Organization require that "Baby Friendly" hospitals and birth centers have zero tolerance for this marketing tactic. Anne Merewood, a professor at Boston University Medical School and co-chair of the Ban the Bags campaign explains: "The formula companies are doing two things: undermining breastfeeding and trying to promote their brand," and doing this in a hospital lends the product medical validity. "It's just unethical," she says.
Women who can't or choose not to breastfeed, rest assured: "There will always be formula in the hospitals," a spokeswoman at the NYC department of health told me. But Bloomberg's plan is to give out freebies like ice packs (to keep pumped milk cold) rather than corporate swag. Otherwise, public health agencies, which recommend that women breastfeed exclusively for the first six months, and hospitals are working at cross-purposes.
Women like Jennifer Zajfe are sick of these mixed messages, and they're sick of being branded "lazy" for bottle-feeding. "I fully expected to breast-feed my baby," writes Zajfe, "but, as I soon discovered, Caesarean deliveries often delay milk production. By Day 4 in the hospital, I was a wreck from the pain of the C-section and from trying to nurse with cracked, bleeding nipples that weren't producing milk....Mine is just one story. With Caesarean rates skyrocketing in New York City (some hospitals have a nearly 40 percent rate of Caesarean delivery), formula often becomes a necessary part of the equation."
Here's the bigger problem: the C-section rate. Surgery not only delays mother's milk, but mother and baby are usually separated for several hours postpartum. The WHO and UNICEF recommend immediate skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding initiation within the first *half hour* following birth, and the most common reason it doesn't happen is the cesarean. Even after a simple vaginal delivery, babies are typically swooshed away from their mothers, wrapped up in blankets, and presented like a bottle of wine at the bedside dozens of minutes after the birth. With a cesarean, it's often three hours before mother and baby reunite.
The fact is that typical American maternity care does not promote breastfeeding (I explore this in my new book, Pushed. As a result, only 55 hospitals nationwide meet the international Baby-Friendly standard -- as opposed to 15,000 centers across the globe -- and not one is in the New York metro area.
I don't blame Zajfe for defending her choice and demanding her free formula. These public health initiatives annoyingly put the onus entirely on women to get their act together -- Bloomberg's $4.5 million umbrella plan is called the Take Good Care of Your Baby campaign, as if women need to be told. Bloomberg could throw another few mil at a Take Better Care of Our Mothers campaign to promote best practices on maternity wards. For now, though, the ice packs are a good start.
