Where's best for HD TV?
MORE than three quarters of UK homes own an HD-ready TV according to Ofcom's 2015 Communications Market Review, just behind the 78% of us who have broadband at home.
But just because we have HD-ready TVs, that doesn't mean we're watching HD programming: while even the most basic TVs on sale are HD-ready these days, Ofcom say just 57% of households are signed up to a proper HD TV package.
There's a degree of chicken and egg to this issue, however: many people are waiting for HD to really take off before committing to a package, but broadcasters and providers need us to watch to justify further investment.
Not that we're all that limited for viewing: since the BBC started broadcasting in HD in 2006, the number of HD channels has grown to more than 90.
Who's best for HD TV?
Sky is arguably the best provider for HD TV, although Virgin Media really aren't that far behind anymore.
For quick comparison, here are the TV packages offering the most HD channels as standard from each provider:
Sky offer the joint largest number of HD channels, providing 50 to their Box Sets Bundle customers. Original and Variety Bundle customers can access 11 HD channels as long as they have one of the provider's HD-capable boxes.
Only those who've been with Sky for a very long time and have never updated their set top box are likely to miss out, as the standard Sky+ box, and the multiroom box are both HD-capable - and one of the Sky Q boxes is Ultra HD-compatible as well.
Virgin Media now also offer 50 HD channels, although it's taken them a while to get there - and the selection does differ slightly. Again, only those with the top tier TV deal will get all 50: that's Full House TV for new or upgrading customers, and what older customers might know as TV XL.
Among the HD channels available to Virgin Media customers are those from BT Sport. Full House / TV XL customers will find that they get both SD and HD versions included in their subscriptions.
Both Sky and Virgin Media customers can add more HD channels if they subscribe to one of the premium Sky channel packs - Sky Cinema or Sky Sports.
Those subscribing to Sky Cinema will get both the SD and HD versions of all 11 live channels as standard, but those wanting Sky Sports will need to add a separate HD pack - and if they're with Sky, they can only get that by upgrading to the Box Sets Bundle first.
Youview from TalkTalk only offers the 12 HD channels it's possible to get with Freeview; the basic Youview packages from BT and Plusnet are the same.
BT and Plusnet offer HD packs including at least another 13 channels for a little extra per month - customers who also take BT Sport will get those four channels in HD as well. That makes a grand total of 29 HD channels.
BT do also offer Sky Sports 1 and 2 in HD, for an extra £5 a month - but no one with Youview can get Sky Cinema in HD.
About this time last year, however, BT raised the game with the launch of BT Sport Ultra HD.
We go into Ultra HD in more detail below - but here it's enough to say that people with BT's Total Entertainment TV package get this channel plus the other 29 HD channels.
Why HD?
Sky have done a great job of driving demand for HD - across all providers - with their sports channels.
It's somewhat arguable that people who want to watch movies in HD are more likely to seek out blu-ray discs than view them on TV.
That's because, depending on whether we have HD-ready or "true HD" TV, we may only be seeing pictures with a resolution of 720p, whereas blu-ray operates at 1080p - and blu-ray players can "upscale" SD DVDs to make them appear sharper.
Sport, on the other hand, kind of needs to be live.
Sky isn't the cheapest way to get Sky Sports, but it's often argued to be the best place to go: they have the most sports channels, and they're all available in HD too.
HD Equipment
In January 2010, the BVA released research that showed 6.5 million of us hoping to catch the World Cup in HD weren't actually viewing high definition content; we just thought we were. That's one in 10 of us.
Back in 2007 Ofcom released similar findings when their Mystery Shopping report into the sale of HD-ready TVs found that 41% of people buying a HD-ready TV were being given potentially misleading advice about what the set could do.
HD-ready versus "true HD"
For those who want HD TV, the obvious place to start is an HD or HD-ready TV set. As mentioned above, almost all TVs sold these days are at least HD ready - which means they have a resolution of 720p. For now that might well be enough.
That's because most HD TV channels are broadcast in 1020i - a little short of the "true HD" standard of 1080p. The "i" stands for "interlaced scan", the "p" for "progressive scan".
When 1080i channels are broadcast, we're actually seeing two sets of images alternating rapidly - first the odd numbered columns of pixels, then the even numbered columns, and back again. It's done too quickly for our eyes to detect, but it is noticeable - think about how TV screens and computer monitors appear to flicker when seen on TV.
By comparison, 1080p TVs show every line of pixels simultaneously. It doesn't look much different to us as viewers, but broadcasting in 1080p takes far more data. In fact, it's been suggested that it's highly unlikely that cable and satellite TV providers will ever send 1080p over the air.
So "true HD" TVs, able to display 1080p, are likely to only ever fulfil their potential with a blu-ray player, or certain games consoles.
There's more on what to look for in a new TV in our buyer's guide.
Other HD requirements
For anything more than the Freeview HD channels available through the TV, viewers will also need a set top box that can receive HD content. Most can these days, but there are still SD-only Freeview boxes on sale, and those who still have older Sky+ boxes will be left frustrated.
Lastly, almost all the pay TV providers charge for extra HD services. We've already mentioned the BT and Plusnet HD packs, but to get the most HD channels on Sky and Virgin means signing up to their most expensive TV packages - and spending even more on top of that for Sky Sports in HD.
Freeview only requires an HD capable set top box, but those who already have a satellite dish can always use that to get HD content via Freesat. Our guide to these platforms goes into more detail on the services they offer.
What's next
HD TV has seen a relatively slow take up, perhaps mostly as a result of to the limited number of channels being made available.
While Sky Sports - and now BT Sport - are clearly the main attraction, a huge number of people aren't that interested in sports coverage and to get them on board a much wider variety of HD channels will be needed.
It's been the case until now that the competition between Sky and Virgin has been responsible for pushing up the amount of HD content on offer.
In 2012 for example, Sky rolled out Sky Sports F1 in HD, as well as doubling the amount of HD content available via what was then known as their Anytime+ service.
Since 2013, Virgin Media have largely relied on Sky and BT Sport to boost the number of HD channels they can offer, but in the past year they've added a couple more entertainment channels to their HD line up as well.
At the time of this update, however, we're also seeing the first stirrings of competition in the Ultra HD arena.
Ultra HD, or 4K TV, is so called because it offers four times the detail of HD, with a frame rate of 50 frames per second (fps) compared to the 25fps of SD and HD.
As mentioned above, in summer 2015, BT launched the UK's first Ultra HD channelbeating Sky to the punch.
But Sky were biding their time for a reason, as when they launched their Sky Q service in February 2016, they made a point of telling us that the 2TB version of the new boxes was Ultra HD-ready.
In August, they started broadcasting their own Ultra HD content: Sky Multiscreen 2TB subscribers should all be able to access a growing range of entertainment programmes and documentaries on demand.
Those with Sky Cinema (once Sky Movies) will also find between 70 and 100 films available to view on demand in Ultra HD; those with Sky Sports will be able to watch 124 Premier League fixtures live (or record them) in 4K HD.
That puts BT's efforts slightly to shame.
They win points for getting there first, and for offering live sport in Ultra HD - but even with the BT Sport Ultra HD, they can only offer 30 better-than-SD channels in total - and only those willing to subscribe to the Ultra HD service get them included.
What happened to 3D TV?
3D TV launched in 2010. Initial interest was good: there were 700,000 3D-ready TV sets sold in 2011. But by 2013, Sky said just 400,000 subscribers were accessing their 3D channel - less than 8% of their HD subscribers.
The timing of HD was fortunate too, coming as it did at the same time as the boom in flat screen TVs. It was easy enough to upgrade to an HD-ready TV when getting rid of the bulky old set - but not many people have been willing to upgrade quite so soon again in order to get a 3D-compatible TV.
Virgin Media offer 3D content on demand - mostly movies - and their basic V HD Box is capable of receiving 3D content. All viewers need is a 3D-ready TV and some specs.
In May 2015, Barb - the organisation that records and researches British TV viewing habits - said they believed 3D TV was all but dead. The BBC stopped producing content in 3D in 2013, and in autumn 2014 Sky said they were no longer going to offer Premier League games in 3D.
As we've already seen, sport is key to pushing new services and ways of watching - so although Sky still offer 3D on demand content, Barb concluded that "the party is essentially over".
Most TV manufacturers have concluded similar, moving their focus to other developments like the aforementioned Ultra HD, and OLED screens.
Still no UK cable company broadcasting in HD (1080p)!!! Pointless buying any TV higher then 720p.
Ofcom need to start pressurising the likes of Sky, Virgin et.el.
It's ridiculous. HD is 10 years old now. You can't buy a non-HD TV anymore. HD channels should now be standard but the TV companies still insist on charging a premium for them where they even exist.

I picked up their Pineapple Recording Sessions CD at the gig and enjoyed their infectious classic California blend. They fill up the speakers with a fuzzy warm sound, that's just cocky enough to rock, yet sincere and sorrowful in the right places. Imagine the Beach Boys & Big Star both Exiled on Main Street and doing time at The Hotel California. Convoy exuded a sonic glow that shone brightly from the lo-fi confines of their home studio in Jamul on the Cal-exico border. Apparently singer Jason Hill has a 7,000 album plus collection of "Black Licorice" ( the family nickname for LPs).
They later tried to slick up the sound, signed to a major, and even went on the road even getting some gigs with Aerosmith. I kept checking them out whenever they rode through town for a couple years but lost track of 'em as they attempted to claim the rock stardom mantle & sought a larger demographic.
Even when its indie album went nowhere, Convoy was always moving somewhere.
I don't know what exactly happenend to that hep but low key combo, but somewhere along the way they lost a couple members and became the much hyped Louis XIV who put out a decidely Spinal Tap like album cover this year.
I guess what can ya expect from some grebos from Jamul anyhow... here 's a few tracks from the radio ready Louis XIV repertoire and some Convoy chestnuts that show where the band actually came from...
Basically Louis XIV features ex-Convoy front boys Brian Karscig and Jason Hill with drummer Mark Maeggart and some new recruits. I'd blather on if I had anything to add, but I gotta go to work slinging drinks... enjoy.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A number of banged-up players are planning to return to the field for the NFC East showdown between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles.
New York center Shaun O'Hara, who has missed the past six games with a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot, said Friday afternoon that he expects to play Sunday afternoon at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
"Something about playing the Eagles makes you feel better all over," O'Hara said.
Philadelphia (9-4) listed Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel (knee) and Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson (toe) as questionable for Sunday's game, which officially means they have a 50 percent chance to play.
"They both practiced and they both feel better," coach Andy Reid said. "They got more work today and that's a plus. I just want to see how they feel tonight and tomorrow."
But after going through Friday's indoor practice, both are expected to play in a battle for first place.
O'Hara is officially listed as probable by the Giants. He has been limited to just four games this season due to multiple injuries.
O'Hara missed three games earlier in the year with a left ankle and left Achillies injury he suffered during training camp.
The Giants have been decimated by injuries on the offensive line. They have started six different combinations of linemen this season. If O'Hara plays, Sunday will mark the first time the original five have started together since Week 7 against the Cowboys. Tackle Shawn Andrews, who has practiced on a limited basis all week due to a back injury, is questionable for Sunday's game.
Even with a depleted offensive line, the Giants have 410 rushing yards in the last two games.
"I really think it's a tribute to guys like Rich [Seubert]," O'Hara said of the Giants left guard who has filled in at center this season. 'He's really been our MVP."
Additionally, O'Hara said on Friday that his foot injury hasn't fully healed but he feels healthy enough to play 60 minutes on Sunday.
Samuel was listed as questionable the past two weeks and did not play. But Reid sounded much more optimistic Friday. Samuel suffered the MCL sprain in the Eagles' last game against the Giants, a 27-17 win on Nov. 21.
"I'm feeling good. I'm pretty excited," said Samuel, who has missed four games this season. "Every day, I'm feeling better. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and the next day."
That would be Sunday, when the Eagles and Giants vie for control of the NFC East at New Meadowlands Stadium.
"You have an MCL sprain, you know what comes from that," Samuel said. "But nobody is 100 percent this time of the year. You just have to deal with it and overcome it. Not being out there and not being able to perform and play with the confidence that you normally would, that gets a little frustrating. But I'm making strides."
Jackson, who rarely lacks confidence -- please see his touchdown reception versus Dallas on Sunday night -- also plans to be on the field for what has turned into the biggest game of the season for both teams.
"I still got two days to get ready, so I should be fine," said Jackson, who had 215 receiving yards last week. "At practice today, I did some things. It felt pretty good. I did a lot more today than I did yesterday. I don't think it's that serious to hold me out for a long time. So we should be good and smooth. I'm really not into sitting out games."

You, as a vigorous computer user, might be having a nice water-cooled PC with a CPU as well as GPU of high specifications; however you may be wasting your money in them in case you do not have the perfect monitor for display. Traditional technology of displaying pictures was never poor, but the latest ways for doing the same have been taking the market by storm. Say if you want a good monitor with great display features, you must put your money in a monitor which has a refresh rate much greater than 60Hz. This will help you in taking advantage from the extra frames. Additionally, you may invest in buying a monitor specially intended for producing high standard of colour accuracy.
Size and Resolution to prefer while selecting a monitor:
Always remember that it's not necessary for a bigger item to turn out as a better one. On must purchase a monitor according to the size of their desk and workstation. A 30 inch might be too big and a 20 inch monitor might be too small for your desk. Monitors ranging from 23inches to 24 inches are neither considered very small nor very big. These monitors offer enough area to view graphics with sharp pictures of 1080 pixels. So ensure that whichever monitor you purchase is bigger than 20 inches and should support a resolution of minimum 1920×1080. In case the monitor is 27 inches or even bigger, the perfect resolution would be 2560×1440.
Significance of Panel Technology:
One needs to seriously consider the panel type they are going for as it impacts the display quality immensely. It has huge effects on colour accuracy, brightness, pixel response time, and viewing angle. The prime four kinds of leading panels commonly used in the present time are VA, TN, IPS, and PLS panels. If you're a lot into gaming and consider frame rates a very important factor, you must look for a monitor piece that supports a TN panel. However, if you are more concerned about the image quality, then you must go for a PLS monitor.
Try and test before you order the product:
Keeping all these considerations in mind, you will experience a convenient time in picking the monitor that fits your needs perfectly. However, we strongly recommend you to try the monitor in real before you make the payment and order it. It's obvious that it is not an easy alternative when you shop for a product online, but there is definitely no idea that can deny you from trying monitors at retail shops before you buy. It's a fact that when you use a computer, you look at the monitor and then at the keyboard. So choose monitors for your rig wisely and if possible, gather reviews and feedbacks from trustworthy sources before investing the money in these devices.

I've been running this program for about 4 months now. Last week was my deload week and I'm about to start back up in the morning. I figured this would be a good time for me to introduce this method to those of you who are interested, explain the proper method to developing your program around it, and why I like it and think it works.
5/3/1 – The Basics
5/3/1 is based on the four core lifts: squat, deadlift, bench press, and overhead press. Each cycle of the 5/3/1 program lasts 4 weeks. I train four days a week with each day focused on one of these core lifts. The rudimentary schedule looks like this:
- Week 1: 3 sets of 5
- Week 2: 3 sets of 3
- Week 3: 1 set of 5, 1 set of 3, 1 set of 1
- Week 4: Deload week
The foundation for this method is using percentages of your 1RM (one rep max). Jim Wendler, the creator of 5/3/1, recommends taking 90% of your 1RM to calculate the amount you'll be lifting for the core lifts instead of working directly off your 1RM. I have to agree with him for a couple reasons:
- People grossly overestimate how much their 1RM truly is;
- And you can get burnt-out on this program quickly if you run it for a long time based off your 1RM. You increase your 1RM for squats and deadlifts by 10 pounds and your bench and overhead press by 5 pounds after each cycle; within a couple cycles you'll be training past your 1RM and will have the conditioning to support it.
Because the worksets are based off a 1RM, it's helpful to already know what your 1RM is for each of the lifts. If you don't, don't sweat it – just head over to this training calculator and follow the instructions. Once you have your 1RM, multiply it by .9 to find your Training Max. From there, the rest of your percentages are taken from your Training Max and the program should look like this:
For example, my current 1RM for squat is 365lbs. My 5/3/1 cycle for that one lift would look like this:
On each day, you're going to increase the amount of each set by 10%. Then, on the last set, "+" means you are to do as many reps as possible. At the end of the entire cycle, you add 10 pounds to your Training Max for squat and deadlift and 5 pounds to your Training Max for bench and overhead press – not your 1RM.
Many people often get confused about deload weeks in general; for 5/3/1 it's fairly simple. You still complete the four core lifts and follow your percentages, but it's also a time to recover and focus on muscle imbalances and weaknesses. For example, if you have poor shoulder mobility, then using light resistance bands for raises and stretching may be a part of your workout for your military press day. Or, if you struggle at lockout for your deadlift, it may be helpful to throw in some rack pulls. Deload weeks are not a time to hit PR's, overload your CNS, or exhaust yourself with cardio. It's a week of rolling out, isolation exercises, stretching, and making sure you're ready to increase your weights next week.
Accessory Work
Another common issue for weightlifting and 5/3/1, specifically, is not knowing what accessory work to mix in with each day. My general rule of thumb is that the accompanying accessory work always supplements the core lift (i.e., don't curl on a squat day). Accessory work is meant to be higher reps, lighter weights, and less rest time. If you enjoy circuits, complexes, and supersets, this is your chance to throw them into your workout. Accessory work is the part for you to get a little creative with your workouts. In the past, I have followed 5/3/1 and then implemented a bastardized version of the GZCL Method for my accessory work. My bastardized version looks something like this:
Note: "Tier 2" and "Tier 3" are terms found in the GZCL method; it's enough just know that the higher the tier number the further into the workout you are and the exercises become more isolated for a specific muscle group.
Essentially, I take the rep range from the previous week and use that as my baseline rep scheme for my accessory work. It's important to note that my accessory work changes week-to-week. I may do incline dumbell press right after I bench press during Week 1 but I may do heavy floor presses during Week 2 instead. Knowing what accessory work to incorporate into each training session requires you to pay attention to your body, realize where your weak points are, and adjusting to address them. My explosiveness while deadlifting became a problem during my last cycle of 5/3/1 so I incorporated heavy power cleans into my routine to address the issue. A flexible training program is necessary for making well-rounded strength and size gains and that's the main reason I enjoy 5/3/1 and think it is one of the best programs available. I get to lift heavy with accessory work that helps my big lifts and physique.
I've posted my upcoming 5/3/1 Cycle over at My Workout Log. After each training session, I will update it with my accessory work and general notes.
If you're interested in learning even more about this program, I suggest you check out Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 book and his other works.

Similar folks here in the States now are insisting that prep is Godly, wise, essential . . . particularly spiritual prep. . . . but also food and financial to the extent workable—not in a panic or fear . . . in wisdom and trusting in God to fill in the gaps beyond what individuals cannot do.
I believe that WHEN God says prepare and/or move
and folks resist, there will be costly consequences.

Checkout the results of my two months spent in Kamanggih evaluating IBEKA's impact on community empowerment. Click here.
How I Got Here
Thanks to the work of Duke Engage and a team of Duke professors, administrators, graduate and undergraduate students, I find myself on the other side of the world with Connor Guest, a Duke senior studying mechanical engineering, as my partner for 5 weeks. A Bass Connections team spent the year looking at ways for Duke to become more involved in Energy Access across the world. With their help, I received funding and assistance from the Duke Engage Independent Program. The goal is to help IBEKA, an Indonesian NGO that works to empower communities through the provision of renewable electricity, measure their impact and create a tool for consistent analysis of their work. After spending a week in Jakarta getting to know the people, work, and language of IBEKA, we head to Kamanggih Village on Sumba Island in South East Indonesia.
The Challenge: Measuring and conveying Community Empowerment
Many of the impacts of IBEKA's work are already known. The provision of consistent and affordable electricity has been shown to produce results worth celebrating. The prevalence respiratory issues, headache, burning throat decline along with spending on health as kerosene lamps are replaced with light bulbs. Expenses for kerosene and flashlights drop to nearly zero. While modest, some households see gains in income as craftwork can be continued past dusk. Children study longer and reach higher grade levels with the ability to work at night. Schools can utilize electronic teaching tools and remain open after dark. IBEKA also helps communities organize cooperatives to manage the micro-hydro power plants sustainably and use the income generated from electricity sales to provide community assistance in the forms of loans, educational stipends, and infrastructure projects. Overall, households experience improved health, greater economic opportunities, and higher educational achievement. Of course we see all of these impacts as positive changes, but do they constitute community empowerment?
In speaking with Pak Adi, Program Director for IBEKA, we learned about IBEKA's challenges in trying to accurately measure the effects of their work and convey these effects with donors and the public who can be narrowly concerned with parameters commonly assumed to be linked to "progress". Sure, improved health almost always constitutes progress. But does greater wealth and educational achievement among individuals in a community lead to a more cohesive, functional, and supportive community? Not necessarily.
IBEKA is wary of its ability to create conflict. By dividing groups between electrified and non electrified, tensions can arise. Without proper management of the cooperatives, individuals can become scapegoats for the community's inability to hold itself accountable. After electrification, some villages experience covetous races to accumulate appliances and the status they represent. If the aim is to empower communities, traditional measurements of development can become meaningless.
The Plan
Figure it out along the way.
Community Empowerment is rarely uniform in every community. What constitutes empowerment in your neighborhood, school, or workplace is of course different than what constitutes empowerment in a poor rural village in Indonesia. More relevant, what constitutes community empowerment in two poor rural villages in Indonesia may be completely different despite the villages having the same demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
As we quickly learned from our first couple days in Jakarta, it's not always best to have a plan. While we know at the very least we will be conducting a survey of different households at some point, it is almost impossible to know if the questions we think are important will have real meaning until we arrive in Kamanggih. We also hope to tell the story of the Kamanggih community through a series of videos.
We finished our first week in Kamanggih getting to know the people and how they use electricity. Check out my blog post for more.
Week 3 begins tomorrow with our translator coming to help us with interviews.

The group has been demonstrating all week, and plan a 2,000-vehicle rally in the city on Saturday.
Leaders of the "Red Shirt" protesters, who want Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to call new elections, have said they would scale back the size of their demonstrations in order to conserve energy and resources.
The decision to stay encamped in Bangkok is meant to keep up the pressure on Mr Abhisit, who already has rejected several of the protesters' deadlines to dissolve Parliament and call new elections.
"It is the beginning of class war," said Natthawut Saikua, one of the protest leaders. The Red Shirts have increasingly portrayed the demonstrations as a struggle between Thailand's impoverished, mainly rural masses and a Bangkok-based elite impervious to their plight.
The protesters also consist of supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by a 2006 military coup for alleged corruption, and pro-democracy activists who opposed the army takeover. They believe Mr Abhisit came to power illegitimately with the connivance of the military and other parts of the traditional ruling class and that only new elections can restore integrity to Thai democracy.
"I'm asking you to be patient for one more week. We will achieve true democracy and better lives for Thais all over the country. I understand that you must be tired, hot and hungry. Be patient for another seven days for our children's future," Mr Thaksin told his supporters via a video link.
More than 100,000 demonstrators converged on the capital on Sunday, and organisers boasted that they would topple the government within days. But the crowd had shrunk to around 40,000 by Wednesday, according to Maj. Gen. Vichai Sangparpai, a metropolitan police commander.
After a strategy meeting, the Red Shirt leaders said they would keep up their presence in an old part of Bangkok that is a traditional venue for political demonstrations.
The group also reaffirmed its commitment to nonviolence, and announced it is breaking ties with allies who had made high-profile threats of attacks on government officials and institutions.

Beautiful Taiwan out of the train window.
Dear everyone,
We just got move calls and me and Chen Jiemei are staying together here for another transfer and I am so stoked!
Our brand new convert, Zhong Shi Ying, is just doing so good. She's totally changed since baptism - like a week ago. She's just so happy and she said she feels like since her baptism, she has more self-esteem. Wah, it's so cool to see.
Also, Dong Jiemei got baptized on Saturday, and confirmed yesterday and wah, I'm just so happy that she got baptized and I love her so much. Listen to how precious she is - we told her she needed to prepare a small spiritual thought to share after her baptism. She was a little bit nervous, but when she got up to give her talk, she held up this little sign (attached to a stick) that she had made that had all her favorite scripture references on it. She talked about all the scriptures and why she liked them and then talked about how her favorite commandment is the Word of Wisdom. (I love that she has a favorite commandment.) She is so cute and great! Also, the other day, in a lesson, I said like, "I know that what my companion said is true" and Dong Jiemei started cracking up, so I was like, "What??" And she was like, "You should make signs that say, "I know what they said is true" so that during church, if you agree with the speaker, you can just hold up that sign. I bet a lot more people would come to church." Wah, I was cracking up when she said that.
My dear friend Analyn sent me this super beautiful poem this week as part of her letter to me, and I've been thinking about it a lot. It's about how God wants us to be happy despite of our trials and hard things. It's called A Brief for the Defense by Jack Gilbert. You should all go look it up, because it's just so good, and I can't read poetry right now and you all can, so, go read some poetry for me. Anyway, the last line of the poem is, "To hear the faint sound of oars in the silence as a rowboat/ comes slowly out and then goes back is truly worth/ all the years of sorrow that are to come." I really love that line, and I feel like that's how the Spirit feels. Lately, when I feel the Spirit really strong, it's like this feeling of all my happy, peaceful, content feelings I've had or moments I've experienced all compacted in one feeling. And I think when we feel the Spirit, it's enough to sustain through the hard times - knowing that there really is a God, our Heavenly Father, who loves us and that when we die, we can all live with our families together forever and eternally improve and progress.
Hm, can't think of what else to say. My English class is still awesome and funny. Last week, I described a bunch of funny youtube videos to them and they were cracking up. I love my English class. The elders make fun of me because we use 90% of our English meeting planning my English class.
Love you all so much! Thanks for all your letters and pictures!
Love, Natalie
Analyn, obviously loved the poem and your letters! Thank you! So good to hear from you. I loved the update on your family also.
KC Childs: Do you still read my blog? I miss you! Write me, HINT HINT. ha.
Coryn: Wah, you're home! Sent you a letter!
Emily Larsen: Do you know how much I love your juicy provo updates? Slash your letters are always so funny, I wanna die. Also, thank you for the pictures. You are looking so cutie cute.
I eat so much meat here.
Me and Zhong Shi Ying, with her freaky red contacts, cutie short hair cut, and Sister Chen's missionary badge. We were talking with her about going on a mission and she was pretending to be a missionary and it was hilarious.
Dong Jiemei's baptism!!
Me and Sister Chen made a sign that said, "I know what she said is true" so we could take pictures and give them to Dong Jiemei. This one got cut off, but I think it's so cute.

A week from today I'll be hitting the road with my coworker Bob, bound for Madison and the Wisconsin Careers Conference. This will be my first time at this conference (nay, my first time to even set foot in the state), even though it's been buzzing along happily without my presence for the last 24 years.
The thought of heading north in January has always made me seize up. But ever since I took over our workbooks a couple of years ago, I have felt that I wasn't quite in touch with the people who use those books. This conference is aimed at K-14 teachers, HR professionals, counselors and guidance staff, college and university educators and advisors, career counselors, career center personnel, and many others. So this is a great opportunity to immerse myself in their community.
JIST will be well represented there in addition to Bob in the booth and me in the sessions. Coworker/author Laurence Shatkin will be one of the featured speakers, sharing his research on the Best Jobs for Renewing America. Author Richard Deems will be leading a roundtable on his Job Loss Reaction Cycle (which is featured in his book, Make Job Loss Work for You). Our assessment guru, John Liptak, is hosting a roundtable on integrating spirituality into career counseling. And authors Bob Orndorff and Dick Gaither will be presenting preconference workshops. I'm looking forward to taking them all to dinner or lunch at some point in the conference.
I'm planning to bring along my laptop and tweet up a storm about what I'm learning. So look for me on Twitter next Tuesday and Wednesday (@loricateshand).

President Obama's campaign has bought air time in Minnesota -- $511,000 on broadcast in Minneapolis for 12 days, according to a Republican source.
The buy follows a small one from Mitt Romney's campaign in the same market -- only $30,000.
Twin Cities stations air in western Wisconsin, which is where Obama's team says the 60-second spot is being aimed.

Correction Appended
In a case closely watched by critics of online auctions, a California judge has allowed six people to proceed with a lawsuit that strikes at the core of how eBay runs its business.
The ruling, last Wednesday, involves a lawsuit filed by people who say they bought autographed sports memorabilia later found to be fake. The lawsuit asserts that eBay, the largest online auction operator, has a responsibility to ensure the authenticity of the sports memorabilia sold through its World Wide Web site.
EBay, which lists about four million items for sale daily, has repeatedly argued that it merely operates a venue for sales and cannot be held liable for fraudulent transactions. Company officials have said that if eBay were forced to verify every piece of listed merchandise -- or even only sports memorabilia -- eBay would not be able to offer consumers such a large marketplace.
Last week's ruling came from Judge Linda B. Quinn of Superior Court in San Diego County, where the lawsuit was filed in April. The ruling was a preliminary response to eBay's assertion that the case should be dismissed.
Though she did not grant a dismissal, Judge Quinn sided with eBay on several points and told the plaintiffs to restate their case in terms that would more specifically rebut eBay's arguments.Continue reading the main story
The case is based in part on a California law governing the sale of sports memorabilia. EBay is based in San Jose, Calif.
Legal experts say they are watching the case because while several states have laws intended to protect consumers from fraudulent auctions, most of them were written before the Internet made online auctions possible.
''It is definitely an open issue as to whether online auctions like this should be regulated under those state auction statutes,'' said Thomas Bell, a lawyer in Seattle who specializes in Internet law.
In the California case, six eBay users filed the complaint after discovering that several autographed baseballs and other sports items carried what law-enforcement officials said were forged signatures. Also included as defendants in the suit are nine sellers and authenticators of sports memorabilia, most of whom live in San Diego and who have been investigated or indicted by federal officials for their roles in what the Federal Bureau of Investigation says is a nationwide swindle.
James C. Krause, the plaintiffs' lawyer, said his clients wanted to recoup the $1,100 they spent on the items, and to stop eBay from providing what they said was a channel for the sale of fake merchandise. Mr. Krause has requested class-action status for the lawsuit, which could turn the case into a multimillion-dollar complaint including anyone who can prove that they have unwittingly bought counterfeit sports memorabilia on eBay.
The judge is scheduled to begin considering the request for class-action certification on Nov. 17. Lawyers on both sides say a final judgment on the case will probably not come until next year.
The case may hinge on how the judge interprets a section of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The law says that Internet service providers are not liable for the material that is sent out over their networks.
EBay declined to comment on last week's ruling, but in court documents, it has said it is not an auctioneer since it does not list the items for sale, does not write the descriptions of the items and does not have the items in its possession at any time. As a result, eBay's lawyers say, the California law on sports memorabilia dealers does not apply to eBay.
Mr. Krause said he intended to argue that eBay was a ''content provider,'' rather than a service provider.
The lead plaintiff is Lars Gentry, an Illinois resident who used eBay to buy four baseballs whose signatures were found to be forged. He also bought a couple of ''cuts'' -- documents that feature the autographs of famous sports figures -- that were found to be forged.
Mr. Krause is using the California law, adopted in 1992, to support several key parts of the case. The law forbids dealers -- including auctioneers -- to represent items as collectibles if they include forged signatures. It also requires dealers to certify that items are authentic. Under the law, people who have been misled by dealers are entitled to recover 10 times the sales price of the items purchased. Mr. Krause says the law applies to eBay because the company is essentially an auctioneer.
''The statute is there for the people to rely upon,'' said Mr. Krause, adding that eBay was 'not doing a good job of protecting the public.''
The lawsuit also accuses eBay of not revoking the privileges of the sellers after receiving complaints from other users who asserted that the goods were fraudulent. EBay has said that it makes a good-faith effort to protect its users, and the company has taken a few steps recently to deter fraud, including an announcement in July telling its users that some sellers of sporting items had used fake certificates of authority to entice buyers.
EBay has said it would no longer list items that featured those certificates. The eBay users who were named in the F.B.I.'s indictment are facing probation or suspension from the Web site, according to Kevin Pursglove, eBay's spokesman.
Meg Smith, a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, said the lawsuit illustrated the dilemmas that face online auction services. ''EBay is caught in the cross-fire here,'' she said. If the providers of the service make no effort to protect its users, ''they look like a bad corporate citizens,'' she said. ''But the more responsibility they take, the more they look like an auctioneer and the less they look like they are just a forum.''
Correction: October 18, 2000, Wednesday An article in Business Day on Monday and a related article yesterday about a lawsuit against eBay referred imprecisely to a preliminary ruling in the case. In that ruling, which was made last Wednesday, the judge granted eBay's request to dismiss the complaints in their current form. But she let the plaintiffs refile the case with more specific arguments, accusing eBay of neglecting to protect consumers from sales of forged sports memorabilia in its online auctions. The judge did not support eBay's motion to dismiss the case itself. On Monday, the plaintiffs responded by refiling.Continue reading the main story

parting with some pots

These are great looking! I know about letting go...but it is so sad too! You can be like me and just break them! Saturday I was carrying a moderately big piece of pottery to the garage from deck. It has done its service. Handle broke and piece fell on my toes before hitting concrete and shattering. I have a real purple big toe for Easter!!!ReplyDelete
Oh, no! And it's amazing how much the big toe is involved in one's life. We take it for granted until it is smashed! Have you Easter plans? Ours will be simple. Quite low key...ReplyDelete
Oh, I love enamelware. I think I would have kept them and used them as planters.ReplyDeleteReplies
Judging from all the requests I got for these pots, I think I listed them WAY too cheaply and should have held on to them for an INVESTMENT! LOL!Delete
Have you thought about making them into planters for your garden xxxReplyDeleteReplies
Great minds, indeed! Yes, the thought entered my mind, but I know my limits. A successful gardener-in-pots I am not.Delete
Just read Tammys comment lol , Great minds think alike , I did it with a few of my kitchen pots xxxReplyDelete
Enamelware is so popular now. I hope you do/did well with the sales. xoReplyDeleteReplies
I'm sure I sold it below market price :)Delete
I had all KINDS of takers waiting in line.
I still have a few pieces in reserve but maybe should have considered a higher asking price. Oh, well...
Don't even think about it, Rebecca. It all seems to wash out in the end. And now you can move on to something more exciting. :-)Delete

Logical fallacies. * Take notes where the asterisk appears *. What is a logical fallacy?.

* Take notes where the asterisk appears *
This fallacy suggests that since no one has ever proved a particular claim, it must be false. Appeals to ignorance unfairly shift the burden of proof onto someone else.*
This fallacy attempts to persuade using emotion rather than evidence. Such appeals are fallacious because emotional responses are not always a good guide to truth; emotions can cloud, rather than clarify, issues.*
The bandwagon fallacy cites the growing popularity of an idea as a reason for accepting it as true. This reasoning is faulty because it ignores other reasons that an idea might be popular, such as peer pressure or mass misunderstanding.*
This fallacy applies a general statement too broadly. One commits the broad generalization fallacy by taking a general rule and applying it to a case in which the rule, due to the specifics of the cause, does no apply. The opposite of a broad generalization is a hasty generalization, which infers a general rule from the specifics of the case.*
Circular thinking involves assuming, in an argument, the very point one is trying to make. A circular argument fails because only those who already accept the conclusion will judge the reasoning of the argument to be sound. Be sure not to confuse the circular thinking fallacy with the more common usage of the phrase "begs the question," which refers to raising or referring to a question.*
Either-or thinking presents a false dilemma by reducing a solution to only two possible extremes. This line of reasoning is a fallacy because it ignores every possible solution that falls between those extremes.*
An argument built on only part of the truth leaves out the "rest of the story." This is a fallacy in contexts in which the listener has a right to demand objectivity, such as news stories or scholarly writing.*
Oversimplification falsely reduces a complex issue down to overly limited terms.*
This fallacy assumes causation too easily on the basis of the mere succession of time.*
This fallacy distracts the listener by introducing an irrelevant or secondary subject in order to divert attention from the primary issue. A red herring is typically a subject about which people have strong feelings, and so nobody notices how their attention is being misled.*
Using words that carry strong positive or negative feelings can distract an audience, leading them away from the valid arguments one is making.*
A testimonial is fallacious when it comes from someone who is not a recognized authority in a relevant field. Even when testimonials do come from an expert in a relevant field, appeals to authority are problematic when direct observation or evidence can more accurately prove the argument, when the expert is biased, or when the expert's opinion is unrepresentative of his or her field.*
In the same groups for the Atticus Finch speech, refer back to the Logical Fallacies we just went over & provide some examples for any that apply. Examples can be from:
Explain why each one would be an incorrect, or deceitful, fallacy or argument.

The 21st annual Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) Stallion Season Auction raised a gross amount of nearly $1.7 million during a three-day telephone auction and a live auction held Jan. 8 at the Keeneland Entertainment Center.
Almost 300 people attended the live auction sponsored by Brushwood Stable, CandyLand Farm, Lael Stables, PBI Bank, and Rosenberg Thoroughbred Consulting while volunteers from Fasig-Tipton were on-hand to conduct the auction. The majority of the stallion seasons were sold during the telephone auction, however 32 seasons including Arch (sire of 2010 Breeders' Cup Classic winner Blame), Bernardini, Giant's Causeway, Medaglia D'Oro (sire of Rachel Alexandra), Street Cry (sire of Zenyatta), and Tiznow were included in the live auction.
"It is wonderful to see our industry come together to raise money for the welfare of horses and the people who work with them," said Dan Rosenberg, president of TCA. "I would like to thank the donors, sponsors and advertisers, bidders, attendees, and volunteers who make it possible for Thoroughbred Charities of America to support so many worthy organizations around the country. And a special thanks to the volunteers working for all our grantees caring for and finding new careers for horses."
The TCA also presented a few awards to horse industry members during the auction. Darley was presented with the 2010 TCA Leadership Award, while Lori Neagle of the Kentucky Equine Humane Center, in Nicholasville, Ky., was presented with the TCA Industry Service Award. Nicole Pieratt of Sallee Horses was recognized for the assistance her organization provides to numerous Thoroughbred rescue organizations.
TCA was formed in 1990 to raise and distribute funds for charities in the Thoroughbred industry which provide a better life for Thoroughbreds both during and after their racing careers by supporting retirement, rescue, research, and by helping the people who work with them. TCA is the charitable arm of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association.

So exciting seeing everyone getting into the preparations to welcome our babies home!! Did you know that this time next week, everyone in the thread will be at least halfway through?
Got a good start on painting the nursery over the weekend - going to Bunnings after work to get a tin of paint to do the walls. I was impressed that I managed to do all the corner cut ins and all along the base of the wall with the sample pot, so DH just has to do his bit with the roller I'm hoping that we'll get the painting finished over the next couple of nights, then we can start getting the furniture all set up!!
DH called his mum on the weekend and he continues to be amazed how much she is looking forward to her granddaughter's arrival. She's currently filling a washing basket full of embroidered sheets and other linen for bub
A bit peeved at myself I forgot to pick up the baby shower invites from the coffee table this morning, so I won't be able to post them until tomorrow now
Has anyone been thinking about breast pumps much?? I plan on BF, but would like to express for DH to be able to feed bub as well, but I can't get over the expense of them! I'd like to get an electric one because I don't think my wrists would deal too well with constantly pumping a manual. I was thinking to wait until after birth to see how we go with feeding first, but not sure if it would be better to have on hand to start with??

Hi ladies
Lovely to hear about everyone feeling movement now and how busy you all are with nursery preparations! Exciting. Great to share all the info on baby sales. I will definitely be checking out Target for the newborn nappies. Hopefully I can still get some at that price.
Jay, you are so organised! You have given me lots to think about!
Spidery, love the blanket. Very cute.
AFM had OB appointment today and got to see our little one again. OB is happy with how everything looks. I will see OB every 2 weeks from now on.
Regarding breast pumps, if you are intending to BF I would suggest trying to get one organised for when baby arrives. The reason being it really helped me get my supply up when DS was born. Hospitals will usually have a double pump available for use there and they may hire as well. With DS I used the hospital's pump and when I got home I was able to borrow a Medela Swing. This time I'm fortunate enough to have the Medela Freestyle double pump. The lactation consultants at the hospitals are really helpful. The first two weeks of getting BF established can be tough (not for everyone) but it is SO worth it to persevere if BF is what you want to do.
Hi to everyone else.

Hey ladies,
We are having our baby shower this weekend. Holding it at a family members house, with my sis doing the games, but we have organised everything else cos no one else seemed too keen to put their hands up. Bit sad cos I know it would have been Mum had she been here.
We went shopping yday for carpet for the babies room, and ended up putting a bit layby on at target, including an electric breast pump. DP wants to be involved too, once we have established a good breastfeeding routine, and we also have some events planned so I want to build a freezer bank pretty well straight away.
Only a tiny bit of painting left on the cot.... but you can see what it looked like before....
before cot.jpg
And it looks like this now.... almost there :-)
cot after.jpg
DP started on the nursery floor prep last night, and we should have carpet in a few weeks, so hopefully by the end of feb I can start setting the nursery up :-) Have to order some fabrics for the linen (yay can fuel my etsy love) and some curtains for the window and doors.
So exciting to think we are all edging that much closer to having bubs with us on the outside, and that everyone has nearly passed that halfway hump.
Me today at 31wks

Hi all,
So nice to hear how all you lovely ladies are going. I have been reading along with you and love all the baby bump and nursery pics. I feel like I have ages to go compared to most of you but I'm getting there. My 20 weeks scan is next Wednesday. I'm considering myself already halfway there as I am having a csection at around 39 weeks.
I'm 19 weeks today and felt bubs popping round in there over the weekend. Well I hope it was bubs and not severe gas haha
I haven't bought anything yet but sorta know what I want. My lovely friend is lending me a few things such as her medela breast pump as I want to express a bit to allow DH to feed as well. Can anyone recommend a website that has a check list of must haves I could look at as a starting point? It can be overwhelming and I like to be organised. I might have to pop into target this week and start stocking up on nappies. That's if there are any left in stock with all these preggo women snapping them up.
Did anyone else get really sore hips when sleeping on one side too long? I think my mattress is too hard might need to invest in a foam topper.
Have a lovely day

Oops I forgot to says congratulations to Berra for team blue! And Annerley for a sweet baby girl! Looks like the numbers are going to even out.

Hello lovely ladies - so glad to read about all the great scans and excellent shopping efforts!!!
With DS I expressed daily for over 6 months as DH would do the before bed feed to give me a break.
I borrowed the Medela swing off a friend and it was great. The thought of a manual pump makes me want to shoot myself - particularly if pumping semi regularly!! This time (if I can't borrow the Medela Swing) I am going to hire a hospital grade double pump (can hire from most chemists). Just so much faster to empty a breast plus the added bonus of doing 2 at once. The pumps at the hospital are awesome!!
Jay - my hospital provides all the essentials for baby like nappies, creams, bottles if needed etc, as well as stuff for mum like breast pumps etc. Might be worth checking to save lugging in a heap of stuff you don't need to.
I am going very light on this time around. Just need a bassinet, borrow/hire pump, car seat for DS (bub will get the hand me down), more cot sheets (as will have 2 in cots) and a sterilizer.
Last time I used a borrowed electric at home and microwave at mums, and much preferred the electric - particularly as I was using it all the time given daily pumping. Also, we heated milk daily and just popped the bottle in a jug of hot water out of the tap - was just as easy as a warmer but much cheaper!!
I got a box of Huggies newborn nappies (def the best!) and some maternity pads. I didn't need breast pads last time so will wait to see if I leak before buying any.
Our nursery is set up with the change table and cot with mattress, and we will use our existing pram. I just need to put sheets on the cot closer the the date and move some stuff from DS's room to the nursery (wipes, lotions, potions and all sorts of things I bought for DS but only used once or twice!!!).
We have booked in our C-section for 38 weeks and I am 27 weeks today so only 11 weeks to go!

Arlais - im going to wait and get things like breast pumps after the birth, if I need them. One of my friends said she didn't need one at all as she breast fed the whole time. Ive been a bit hesitant about getting everything before the birth and have decided to get just the essential items to begin with. I can send dh and family members out to get me anything if Im desperate.We have bought the pram, I will hire a capsule, Ive been given a change table, moses basket and bath. All the other essential items like nappies, breast pads, grow suits etc I will get them when I am closer to the birth and in my maternity leave. I know I'll be getting a lot of things as presents after baby is born and Im not having a baby shower so will wait and see. Im sure Ill be back scrolling through these pages to see what everyone was buying. Riss I used Bub Hub to start my list of essential and non essential items, you can find a list if you go to the first page. Then I modified it with my mum who use to be in the baby wear business so it was good to get her opinion too. Regarding sore hips I get do get a lot of pains in my legs, I think its just going to get worse to tell you the truth.

Produced by the International Social Science Council (ISSC) and UNESCO, and published by the OECD, the 2013 World Social Science Report represents a comprehensive overview of the field gathering the thoughts and expertise of hundreds of social scientists from around the world.
This edition focuses on the transformative role of the social sciences in confronting climate and broader processes of environmental change, and in addressing priority problems from energy and water, biodiversity and land use, to urbanisation, migration and education.
The report includes 100 articles written by 150 authors from 41 countries all over the world. Authors represent some 24 disciplines, mainly in the social sciences.
The contributions highlight the central importance of social science knowledge for environmental change research, as a means of understanding changing environments in terms of social processes and as framework for finding concrete solutions towards sustainability.
