If there could ever be a place on this earth that you could visit and call paradise it would be the Ko Phi Phi Islands in the Andaman Sea, where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. As the ferry brings you to the islands from Phuket, all you can see are giant limestone cliffs draping over the aqua blue water, with caves and long white sandy beaches. The island has no motorized traffic and the only way to get around is to walk or take a long tail boat. This island has a vibe like no other place. You know when you go somewhere and it just feels good…well that is what Phi Phi is like. All of our guests will have the opportunity to visit this place!
"The Beach" – Ko Phi Phi Islands – Paradise
TV Show "The Bachelorette" in Phuket, Thailand?
Yeah, I am not a huge fan of the show "The Bachelorette" but they recently aired an episode where they were in Phuket, Thailand. The footage from the preview below shows several of the areas that we will be taking our guests for the Fight Flights Thailand Experience. So, not only will you be training Muay Thai, getting in awesome shape, eating amazing food but you will also be able to experience the magnificent beauty and culture of Thailand. Check it out:
MMA Fight Flights Guest Testimonial: Chris Snyder, U.S. Army Training Muay Thai in Thailand
Chris Snyder with the U.S. Army joined us last fall for his first MMA Fight Flights experience. Having never been to Thailand before and never trained Muay Thai or any martial arts, he had the time of his life. He was able to experience the Thai culture, live an adventure, learn the martial art of Muay Thai, get in great shape and meet people from all over the world. So…what are YOU waiting for? Don't take my word for it, watch Chris's video below:
What is the big deal about Training Muay Thai in Thailand?
So you were next to the lockers today, listening to Mike and Chad, comparing stories about training in Phuket. Sure, it sounded amazing, but seriously, what's the big deal about training Muay Thai in Thailand? You could get the same results by taking a couple Muay Thai or MMA privates over a few months, right?
Take a look at your hometown. Do TV channels in your city broadcast Muay Thai fights every day? How many people in your gym have been training Muay Thai since the age of five? Is there anywhere you can get away from the "distractions" of your life to focus on training? Will you be able to get away from the draw backs of Western life (diet, distractions of technology, a sedentary lifestyle)? Is there anywhere you can train eight hours a day?
I didn't think so. Train in Thailand and it's almost guaranteed that you'll walk away with…
…a deeper understanding of Muay Thai
…a faster, cleaner, more technical game
…better dietary habits and the tools to continue them once you get home
…increased overall health
…relationships with fighters from all over the world
Let's be straight up. There are some aspects of your game that you can only develop with intense focus and isolation. Come to Thailand to train and find out how far you can go.

Muay Thai Training in Thailand: Do you have to be in great shape or have experience?
They all look like they're in WAY better shape than you, don't they? You know who I mean…the Muay Thai fighters you see training in Thailand.
Not gonna lie…a lot of them are. BUT…that doesn't mean that we can't customize a program specifically for you. We have programs that work for beginners (and that means a complete beginner, not just new to Muay Thai) to advanced fighters that are already incredibly conditioned with a strong background in training. Everyone will be challenged, everyone will make leaps and bounds toward their personal best regardless of their starting point.
Muay Thai is a total body discipline and you need to be at your best the entire time you're in the ring…so you won't just be learning technique, you'll be focusing on maximizing your personal conditioning, speed and skill through activities like running, shadowboxing, resistance training and a healthy diet of delicious, native Thai food.
Long story short, you don't have to be in amazing shape to train at a Muay Thai training camp in Thailand, but whatever shape you want to be in, we can get you there. Wanna know how? Click away…
Is Muay Thai training the best striking art for an MMA fighter?
Is Muay Thai training the best striking art for an MMA fighter?
No. Ninjitsu is.
Kidding. You probably hear that "it depends on the fighter, not the art", which is true, but if you have two evenly matched opponents, Muay Thai offers some distinct advantages.
- It's efficient: No katas to memorize or special death touches to figure out.
- The clinch: Mastering it opens up a world of takedowns, throws and paths to taking the fight to the ground or controlling while staying on your feet.
- It's versatile: It's called "The art of eight limbs" for a reason. You have four more options than most stand up fighters and six more than Western boxers. You do the math.
- Many issues you run into in Western boxing are nullified: For example, a short fighter can tuck his chin to defend against the blows of a taller boxer. There's no hiding from the knees.
So of course, the individual practitioner makes a difference, but fighters that have Muay Thai training have seen proven success in sanctioned MMA fights. If you're looking for some examples of guys that have put Muay Thai to the test in the ring, check out Terry Etim, Kenny Florian, Orlando Weit (for a UFC throwback) and more recently, Anderson Silva.
So you want to get started? What better place than a Muay Thai training camp in the motherland of Thailand itself?
Fight Flights Sponsors MMA Fight
Fight Flights along with Namman Muay sponsored Alpha Fights and Fight Time Promotions Amateur MMA fights last Friday in Ft. Lauderdale. The night was filled with exciting fights, with several South Florida MMA camps represented and a lot of up-and-coming talent. UFC superstar Thiago Silva also stopped by our booth!
Traditional Thai Liniment Oil
Fight Flights has partnered with Namman Muay. Namman Muay is the traditional Thai liniment used as a warming agent during PRE-training and competition. It serves to warm and loosen the muscles, while it's natural active ingredients reduce inflammation and increase blood circulation helping with injury prevention and recovery. It's used daily by Muay Thai practitioners and some of the world's most extreme athletes.
Fight Flights and Namman Muay share the same vision of promoting Muay Thai and MMA in Thailand. Anyone who has been to Thailand and has trained at any of the Muay Thai training camps will tell you all about Namman Muay- everyone uses it! The good news is that you can now buy it in the US from the only approved North American distributor at http://www.competitiveace.com/

Brendan Rodgers plotting Sneijder wager at Liverpool
LIVERPOOL will make a sales pitch to Wesley Sneijder if the Inter Milan playmaker is serious about accepting a drop in his colossal wages.
Sneijder, 28, currently earns £6.5million a year after tax and has been frozen out by the Italian club after he was asked to take a pay cut as a condition of a new deal.
The breakdown in relations means he will leave the San Siro before the transfer window closes. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring in his experience, providing what would be a complex agreement can be reached on his personal terms.
Holland midfielder Sneijder is currently stalling on a move to Galatasaray, who have agreed a £6.3m deal with Inter and will wait until next week to discover whether the player will sign a £100,000-a-week contract which is also after tax.
It's not a question of money. Like all the players who have to decide what to do before January 31, I have that time. I won't be rushed
Sneijder has publicly stated that money is not the motivating factor in his career plans and that stance, together with his apparent reluctance to move to Turkey, has encouraged Rodgers.
"It's not a question of money," said Sneijder. "Like all the players who have to decide what to do before January 31, I have that time. I won't be rushed."

Believe it or not I picked up a few complainers re my October WP7 Loadfests in Florida post that there was NO LOADFEST IN ORLANDO. (yes jdb i know you're out there). I stand shamed.
Sooo, ONETUG leader Esteban Garcia, and Startup Evangelist Brian Johnson have teamed up with me to run a BizSpark Windows Phone 7 "Learn, Build, Do" type event.
The morning will lecture style with sessions on WP7 Overview and Design, Silverlight Dev with WP7, XNA Dev with WP7, and Monetizing Yourself.
The afternoon will offer a LoadFest style event if you want to load your app on a WP7 Device, as well as a guided "build an app" with me session, instructor-led.
Time schedule is on Saturday, November 6th, 2010 from 830A to 500P at Devry in Orlando.
Event registration and such are here.
What should you expect from a loadfest
You give me your drivers license, I loan you a phone in a 2 hour chunk. You give me the phone back, you get your drivers license back.
What do I need
BRING A LAPTOP loaded with the Windows Phone Developer Tools and the latest Zune Software. You get to sit there and debug and/or test run your app on a physical phone. That's pretty much it.

There are times where we just want to purchase a new air conditioner probably because we can finally adjust our budget towards higher electric bills, if we need to replace our old one, or maybe because it's ridiculously hot during the summer. Air conditioning systems are known to be valuable to a lot of residents nowadays, and it's also considered as a must to have in some areas.
However, we need to check out some important factors to consider before we proceed in purchasing that new model you saw in the mall last time. With these factors to keep in mind before making a purchase, rest assured that hiring air conditioning Brisbane will be able to wisely save you from buying a new air conditioning unit. But if you really want to replace the old one and buy a new unit, here are the following things to consider:
Purchase or Not?
This is the first thing that you need to note because your old air conditioning unit might perform at peak condition if repaired. If you haven't considered undergoing air conditioning repair, it's best to seek the help of a specialist who can do it. Otherwise, if you already asked for help, then it's time to finally get your old unit replaced with a brand new one instead.
Check the BTU
The British Thermal Units is an extremely important part when getting the perfect unit for your needs. Make sure that it matches the amount of square feet inside your house so then you can say that the unit can affect all of the area where it will be installed.
The space of your desired room is extremely important because we also want you to save some energy. If you're going to use an air conditioning unit on a small bedroom, be sure to purchase a small unit only as it will provide enough coolness in the room already.
The air conditioning unit that you will purchase must provide efficiency in all means necessary. It's because these units are proven to be expensive for your electric bills in the long run, and it's an inevitable fact. Gladly, you can at least find one that will provide efficiency to your energy usage. Look at the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio on the device – where above 15 is the best. Units that have SEER ratings of below 15 can cause you a lot of money in your electric bills – especially on older models.
Price and Warranty
The price and warranty always matter when it getting the right product. Imagine the fact that electric bills will surely go up with the use of an air conditioner. That's why you should canvass wisely for the right unit, and at the same time look if the warranty will also last long. Warranty matters for it can save you from air conditioning repair costs.
Shutters can help provide air ventilation in your home.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Their names will be linked in Orlando sports lore forever, former Magic superstar center Dwight Howard and former Magic coach Stan Van Gundy.
But it won't always be about their messy divorce and departure from the Magic. On at least one account, the former player and coach will come together to help bolster the future for students in the Orlando area, the Seminole County School system to be exact.
It turns out that Howard and Van Gundy do have a common interest outside of winning a Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Diametrically opposed on so many issues, Howard and Van Gundy are political allies (the combatants in contests across the nation in this election year need to take notice) when it comes to helping preserve the property tax base that helps fund the school system.
Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel informed us all of this rather intriguing arrangement between these two men:
If you read my column last week, you know Van Gundy is the chairman of a political group in Seminole County called Citizens for Preservation of Property Values. The goal of the group is to increase property taxes in Seminole County to help preserve the area's traditionally strong public school system — a system that has been decimated by $73 million in budget cuts over the past five years. In the Nov. 6 general election, Seminole voters will decide whether to approve a 1-mill increase in property taxes for four years beginning a year from now. The increase would bring in as much as $25 million annually to the school district.
Van Gundy says Dwight, who was recently traded to the Lakers, is going to lend some financial backing to the cause.
"Dwight has pledged his support," Van Gundy said Monday during an interview on our Open Mike radio show on 740 The Game. "He's a resident of Seminole County, and he's keeping his house here. I think his history will show that he's had great concern for kids in the Central Florida community. With him still living here, we asked him to help and he didn't hesitate."
Surprisingly to some, both Stan and Dwight say they are on good terms and have been communicating regularly over the last several weeks. Van Gundy even texted Howard and wished him good luck after he was traded to L.A.
"We are on good terms and always were," Van Gundy says. "Whatever our disagreements happened to be, they were on the professional level — they were about basketball and our jobs. Personally, we never had a problem. We liked each other. I have great admiration for the things Dwight did in the community and for the way he involved himself with kids. I really do want the best for him, and I think that's mutual."
Howard, in a recent interview with ESPN's Ric Bucher, echoed those sentiments.
"To this day, Stan and I talk and we have a relationship, and I'm happy about that," Dwight said. "We have a mutal respect for each other. We had five great years together. It didn't end right and it didn't end well, but we've moved on and we're happy for each other."
If Howard and Van Gundy can find a way to come together and fight on common ground, we have to believe there is hope for all of the peculiar political bedfellows out there.
Who'll be next?
Maybe it'll be the Republicans and Democrats, the global warming crowd and their haters or maybe even the Lakers and Celtics … ah, never mind!
All jokes aside, kudos to both Howard and Van Gundy for the work they'll do for the students of Seminole County.

The Law of Ueki Scans
Ephemeral-Garden's The Law of Ueki Tv Review
High quality. Supernatural power-concentrated anime with fresh way of power using, with excellent artwork and high quality voice actings and OSTs, OPs and EDs superbly performed to suit the overall mood of the anime, The Law of Ueki is what you get. Seriously, in my opinion, this anime should be at the top 10 on the charts but I really wonder why it's not there. It's very nicely introduced to the audience and it has got me hooked from the beginning till the end. I really have nothing to be complaining about and yes, I'm very satisfied with Studio Deen for completing this anime with such top notch effort noticeable to all Law of Ueki's fans.
But unlike to most anime, romance is very much not available in this series.

Member Opinions
My TOP 1 anime series!
From the anime titles I've seen and heard so far, there isn't another protagonist who's like Ueki Kosuke --- somebody who seems like he doesn't give a mopping over Justice and cleaning and mostly, friends, with his bland face and all. Aside from my initial impression of the whole changing-of-trash-into-trees concept I saw in its first TV commercial on Animax back in '06 (I need it complete), it's what makes this series highly appealing to my taste. Having seen this anime made me like the color green more and more (with Ueki's haircolor + the trees and all) till blue wasn't my favorite color anymore! That impact. That creatively colorful, straightforward innocence about justice and friendship and a bit of family; it was so out-of-the-box, driven by fun humor. And no romance at all! Except for Rinko's little crush. (Not that I prefer stories without it.) Which isn't really a surprise. I'm glad I got to even think about trying The Law of Ueki after seeing FMA's awesomeness.
My favorite character is Sano Seiichiro, btw. He's just so cool in his eccentric outfit, especially with his Level 2
power!!! lol. Plus, a smart guy. And that scar on his face marks it all.
Kosuke is already given, haha. I love his character. To. Bits.
Can't say that the art is above excellent because of the usual inconsistency in the production, but it was good most of the time, esp the backgrounds. The animation quality was well-balanced with the theme, in my opinion. Soundtrack was cool for me, although the usual feedback I've read about LoU's OP and ED themes was that the only one most viewers liked was the first ending. I liked them all esp both opening themes and the 1st, 3rd and 5th ending themes. Of course that super catchy battle theme as well, and apparently, it's called "Rinko Jerard no Theme" (Rinko's Theme). Idk why it's used as one of the usual BGMs during battles. It's the only thing in the whole LoU that confuses me. Haha.
Gonna be re-watching this for the 3rd time some time soon I think.
I just finished this anime, And it is awesome, I just notice that they did not use bloods while fighting all are just scratches, but that is good specially when the whole family is watching it O_O?.. The charaters are great, the plot is also great, but there are some moments that is boring. Even so its a great anime and it is really funny.. It's cool and it enlightens my mood. Good anime overall.
This is one funny anime from the start it was kinda crazy, god contestants, that's one freaking idea to come up with.
One thing about this anime I really like is that when the main characters are at the point of losing their fights and the situation is like if you don't win you're friends will die situation, even then they don't get that power boost from nowhere, they lose. That's the part I really like about the anime, the fights are really awesome and their talents that's quite a cool idea though some can be really funny which adds to the comedy of the anime. I really like all the ten gifts of the heavenly beings, wish I can have one.
Heck, who would have thought this will end up as one of my favorite anime? *sweating*
It's impossible but having a hero with great sense of justice as Ueki really are refreshing. To top thins up, he's pretty simple minded guy and I always, always love it when he never show sign of giving up and continue to stand no matter how bad the situation is. I just love Ueki, but he seems the type of guy who wouldn't even understand if you say 'Suki desu' straight to his face. XD Ah well, he's still painfully lovable.
Overall, having Ueki as the main hero really add the spice in the series, since the story itself was pretty sturdy and good. It got lots of great characters and some of it are so hard to hate. XD
Well, we the 'Anime Sibs' (me, my 2nd bro, 3rd bro and younger bro) always sat down before the TV, 'destroying' any obstruction before us (in this case, our father XD) that try to take over the TV and gain victory, watching the series. And that's just show how much we enjoyed this series.
Okay, I think the character might be very dense but he's got a good sense of justice. That's what I like in this series. This is one of my favorites when talking about fantasy anime. I really like the ending but I wished there's a sequel. I'm okay with the ending but I really wish for more. I like the characters as well as the plot.
Lol. Never before had I had so many laughs while watching a moderately lengthy series (and yes, 50+ episodes is about twice the amount of episodes in a series that I normally watch). And quite frankly, the fact that there wasn't a character I thoroughly wanted to just erase makes it even more enjoyable. Robert Hadyn is made of love. Haha...so is Sano and Wanko. =D

Trending now: Green
Re-emergence of Green
Green is one of those polarising colours that definitely doesn't tickle every interior enthusiast's fancy. Since its re-emergence in 2013 with "Emerald" crowned Pantone's colour of the year and again with the top spot going to "Greenery" in 2017, the use of green in interior design has certainly increased in popularity.
A sense of harmony
If you want to delve a little deeper, when it comes to the psychological properties of Emerald Green it's reported that the colour promotes balance, harmony and the feeling of being connected to nature. While Greenery is a refreshing and revitalizing shade, symbolic of new beginnings. And if that doesn't appeal to your holistic side, green communicates luxury and elegance, as in the jewel (emerald).
Accessorise with green
Be aware if you are using greens with blue undertones in a room that receives little natural light it may make the room feel a little cold. If a green paint scheme feels a little too risky for you, adding plants or a few green cushions and accessories can produce a similar result without the commitment.
Sense of luxury
Are there any rooms in the house that particularly lend themselves to the regal tones of Emerald Green? Any room in which you would like to create an atmosphere of sophistication, luxury or elegance, and that doesn't mean you need to own a castle! If you have a library or a reading nook, green paint or wall paper creates a sense of calm and cosiness.

The E-Factor Diet – A Comprehensive Overview
Product: The E-Factor Diet
Website: www.efactordiet.com
Price: $47
Creator: John Rowley
Overall Rank: 50/100
My E-Factor Diet review is structured in a way that will provide you with an overview of what the product is followed by my views on it.
Short Review
The E-Factor Diet is a very well marketed product that has managed to develop a lot of hype.
There is nothing special about it and you'd do better spending your money elsewhere.
Either way, I have provided a detailed overview of each section of the E-Factor Diet for those of you who are curious to know what it is all about.
Check out these free resources that will provide you with the same, if not more, value than the E-Factor Diet.
About The Author
John Rowley is a bestselling health and fitness author.
He is the mind behind other popular health products as well. (Old School New Body is one such example).
Rowley claims to have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, SmartMoney, and Martha Stewart but I was not able to find any record of this online.
He is not an accredited professional.
The Product
"The secrets of fat loss used by celebrities and athletes have finally been revealed. With just one small payment of $47 you will get access to a program that will provide you with a revolutionary technique to lose 20 pounds, become ripped, and feel 10 years younger! All in just 3 short weeks!"
Sound familiar?
Marketers make exaggerated claims because they seem to sell.
You are probably thinking:
"I would never fall for that BS."
You may not, but there are millions of lazy people who do.
We are a generation obsessed with instant gratification. We want success with minimal effort.
The truth is that the E-Factor Diet will not provide you with any "groundbreaking tips".
What the E-Factor Diet will provide you with are guidelines for eating healthy broken down into a straightforward process.
What Does The E-Factor Diet Include?
After purchase you get access to a total of 6 modules:
- The E-Factor Diet
- Quick Start Guide
- Weight Loss Handbook
- Grocery Guide
- Meal Planning Blueprint
- Cheat Your Way To Trim
You also get access to 5 additional bonuses:
- Fast Food Guide
- Smoothie Shop
- All-Day Energy Secrets
- Joint Recovery Workshop
- Elite Support Community
For the price, you get access to a whole lot.
I will provide an overview of each of these components to reveal what they include.
1. The E-Factor Diet
This is a 106 page eBook which lays down the foundations for the program.
The program requires that you follow 4 simple rules:
- Eat as much protein as you want.
- Eat as many vegetables as you want.
- Drink all the water you want.
- Stay away from foods to which you are intolerant.
The E-Factor Diet gets its name from the 4 E's:
- Energetic Foods
- Endothermic Foods
- Enzymatic Foods
- Enjoy Every Meal
Energetic Foods
John starts off by mentioning that a traditional diet will have your energy levels drop drastically. The E-Factor diet has you eating foods that will sustain your energy levels as well as have your body prioritizing to use fat for fuel.
Endothermic Foods
Endo refers to the endocrine system, i.e. hormone producing glands.
Thermic refers to fat burning.
John claims that by consuming endothermic foods, fat burning hormones are initiated and your body burns more calories during digestion.
Enzymatic Foods
Enzymes are substances that aid your body in digestion.
Apparently, enzymatic foods help your body fully utilize the nutrients in the foods you eat.
John mentions that enzymatic foods will be your best friend when it comes to losing weight.
Enjoy Every Meal
The final 'E' is just what it sounds like.
John claims that with the E-Factor diet will not be forcing you to eat foods that you don't enjoy.
Now, you might be wondering:
What are actual examples of these types of foods?
The specific types of foods in the E-Factor Diet are mentioned in the Grocery Guide and the Meal Planning Blue Print.
The rest of the book is a mix of motivation and information.
John writes about his story and how he got started in the health industry, about the power of habit, about lessons he learned in life, etc.
In between he gives some examples of energetic, endothermic and enzymatic foods. He writes about how your body responds to them and why they will help you get to your goals.
2. Quick Start Guide
The Quick Start Guide is a 15 page eBook.
It starts off with a to-do list of actions that you must complete.
Some actions include:
- Writing out your short and long-term goals.
- Why you want to achieve those goals
- Planning out meals for the week
The rest of the book outlines when, what, and how much to eat, along with some sample meal plans at the end.
3. Weight Loss Handbook
The Weight Loss Handbook is a very short 5 page eBook.
Main takeaway:
Fat cannot be lost, it has to be used.
He explains that the body prefers using glucose to body fat and that the most important principle of fat loss is to control carbohydrate intake.
4. Grocery Guide
The Grocery Guide is a short list of approved sources of protein, vegetables, fruit, carbohydrates, fats, and condiments that you can consume through The E-Factor Diet .
You are also provided with a list of foods to be cautious off.
5. Meal Planning Blueprint
The Meal Planning Blueprint breaks down the macronutrients of what you will be eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
How much percent of your meals will consist of fat, protein, and carbohydrates.
For example:
John breaks down that your morning meals should be high protein, moderate fats, very low carbs, and should include an enzymatic food or supplement.
He does this for each of midday and nighttime meals.
Next, you are provided with methods of how you should calculate your daily macronutrient intake
The final part of the Meal Planning Blueprint lays out a couple of sample meal plans.
6. Cheat Your Way To Trim
Storing body fat is a survival mechanism.
It helped our ancestors live longer in times without food.
When you are dieting, your body begins to adjust and you can experience fat loss plateaus.
This is where cheat meals come in.
Going all out once a week while dieting will maintain your metabolism and help you to avoid fat loss plateaus.
The Cheat Your Way To Trim eBook provides guidelines for effective cheat days.
- The Fast Food Guide provides a list of approved meal choices from popular fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Subway, Wendy's, Starbucks, KFC, and more.
- Smoothie Shop provides a list of over 40 smoothie recipes that help satisfy your sweet tooth.
- All Day Energy Secrets provides a list of habits that you can pick up to boost energy levels throughout the day.
- Joint Recovery Workshop is a 1-hour talk by John Rowely. In it he talks about some exercises that ease joint pain.
- Elite Support Community is a facebook group where the customers and creators of the E-Factor Diet come together to discuss goals and motivate each other.
My Final Word on The E-Factor Diet
All the information offered in the E-Factor diet can be found for free online. This program is not revolutionary. All this referral to endothermic and enzymatic foods is mainly for marketing. My rating of the product is based on the value of materials you get access to.
The community aspect can prove beneficial.
The "Smoothie Shop" with its 40+ recipes provided me with the most value.
I will be making these smoothies for some time to come.
Here are some free resources you can check out which will deliver as much, if not, more value than the E-Factor Diet:
- 25 Best Diet Tips of All Time
- Definitive Guide To Meal Planning
- Best Diet Tips – 22 Ways To Stay On Track
Or read about:
The E-Factor Diet At A Glance
Product: The E-Factor Diet

Price: $47
Creator: John Rowley
Overall Rank: 50/100
VERDICT: If you are too lazy to do online research and have the extra cash, then The E-Factor Diet might be the right purchase for you.
Have you had an experience with the E-Factor Diet? If so, I would love to hear about how it went for you.
Please leave some words about your experience below, the more detailed you can be, the better.
I hope my E-Factor Diet review provided you with the information to help make an informed decision.

Vigan: A picturesque stroll through memory lane
If ever there is a place in the Philippines that could look like a place right out of a history book, it's Vigan. This town is one of the oldest in the country and is known for being a place frozen in the Spanish-colonial era. With its streets of cobblestone and darkwood establishment that you can roam around riding horse-drawn carriages (locally called kalesa), Vigan is definitely a place to see if you want to experience the Filipino history the right way.
The capital city of the province of Ilocos Sur is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a town where Hispanic-inspired structures were able to survive time and again. Architectural aesthetics is something you can appreciate in Vigan as it shows the unique and beautiful fusion of both the Filipino and European designs.
Besides being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vigan is also officially recognized as one of the New7Wonders Cities of the world.

It's been one of those days where you come up at the end of it feeling rather exhausted. I keep getting this picture in my mind of the swirling ocean with water as deep and dark as the night sky traced with clouds of foam, and I've just surfaced after a long plunge beneath the waves.
Even as I write this my thoughts are wandering about my head, wondering how the pressures in my lungs would change if I took such a dive, and what impact this would have on the respiratory control centers in my body. I'm guessing this is a side effect of studying for today's Human Health and Disease exam on the respiratory system (and antibiotics and neoplasia). We just finished the exam this morning, and although it was intense, I'm happy to have made it through.
I wish I had something more original or profound to say at the moment, but since I'm pretty tired I'll instead comment on two quotes which help me to find perspective when I need it most.
The first quote I've known for a long time, and it holds a special place in my life. My mom taught it to me years ago and it's been a part of me ever since:
Mistakes are opportunities to learn.
For example, I've been tempted to get tangled up in frustration with myself for not planning my studying better. (I can now empathize with bacteria a bit more, as I've finally found common ground with them. We both underestimated the power of antibiotics.) The antibiotics are more challenging to learn than I had thought/hoped, and looking back, I should've started memorizing the information about them earlier than I did. Lesson learned: make flashcards promptly.
The second quote I just came across yesterday, and it was a great encouragement to me. These words by Winston Churchill capture the essence of the perspective I need at this stage in my life:
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.
These words remind me that this is a journey, a process. It's a continuum of sorts, and things change.
In a way, this is the same perspective that the seasons give. Springtime is not final, for blossoms must mature into fruit that ripens and eventually falls from the tree. Winter is not fatal, for the tree blooms again. What counts is that the tree sends its roots down into both the warm, rich soil and the cold, frozen earth, that it stretches its branches heavenward in both the bright sunshine and in the slanting rain.
Trees, I think, could be called courageous.
While I know there are times in life when failure literally can be fatal, I am reminded in moments like these to also step back and see the bigger picture. And then, with the ocean before me, to find the courage to plunge in once again and swim.

You can't keep (former) GOOD staffers down
Less than a week after losing their jobs, a group of former employees at GOOD Magazine announced their intention to put together a new magazine, Tomorrow.
"It's going to be about what's next, what's on the cusp," the group said in a statement on Tumblr Tuesday. "We want to get out of our comfort zone and push others to do the same. We want to meet and introduce you to great people."
According to LA Weekly, the budding new team includes former executive editor Ann Friedman and ex-staffers Cord Jefferson (senior editor), Megan Greenwell (managing editor), Tim Fernholz (business editor), Amanda Hess (lifestyle editor) and former associate editor Nona Willis Aronowitz, as well as former editorial design director Dylan C. Lathrop and former assistant editor Zak Stone. Stone and Lathrop reportedly resigned from GOOD on Monday.
The Atlantic Wire reported that the firings did not come as a surprise, and that they were not due to financial concerns.
"I'm reclaiming 'firing,'" Greenwell told The Wire. "They decided they did not want us, and it wasn't that they couldn't afford us." Aronowitz added, "It's definitely fired for creative differences."
When GOOD debuted six years ago, the magazine's founder, Ben Goldhirsh declared it "a free press for the critical idealist." This week, a new beta version of GOOD's website went live with a different billing: "the platform for 21st Century citizenship."

About The Restaurant
There is a sweet little Auberge de Terroir in Normandy with a half dozen bedrooms, which we discovered a few years ago, where Monsieur is a superb chef and Madame is front of house. Arriving in to the dining room one evening, we noticed a couple already well ensconced at a table with their French Poodle. Madame told us they had been there since lunchtime. Apparently, they were regulars from Paris and they spent each day of their stay sitting at the dining table, with dog patiently at their feet, from lunchtime onwards, waiting for the next of Monsieur's delicious dinners.
I could just see this sort of thing happening at The Olde Post Inn, where Gearoid's food is so delicious and the ambiance so delightful that you would sit around all day, if you could waiting, for the next delicious meal to be served up. On first opening, a dozen or so years ago, Gearoid and Tara Lynch immediately attracted a very loyal and regular clientele of foodies who travel regularly to their delightful Olde Post Inn in eager anticipation of cracking food and hospitality. Another great attraction is that you can also stay the night there for they have six delightful bedrooms at the Olde Post Inn with wonderful views over the gardens.
Gearoid is a Eurotoque chef with a top notch pedigree and his cooking bears strong classical French influences with eclectic contemporary twists. Beautifully presented, you will never be disappointed here. I very much like his food pairings such as a starter of scallops with cauliflower puree and coral cream. Delicious Corleggy goat's cheese has feather light Kataiffi pastry, beetroot, guacamole and toasted seeds, whilst Clare Island Salmon is given a Swedish twist, being Gravalax style with dill mayonnaise, Carlingford crab cake and organic leaves. Tamworth bacon comes as a bacon and cabbage terrine with a leek cream, whilst superb Dublin Bay prawns are wrapped in Kataiffi pastry and served with red onion marmalade and mango mayonnaise. Lynch also does a delicious starter of chargrilled aubergine with goat's cheese, one of my favourite combinations, with a tomato concasse and a Balsamic reduction.
Don't over indulge before you get there because the dinner menu includes a middle course; a choice of soup of the evening, mango and passion fruit sorbet or organic salad with bacon, pine kernels, Parmesan and croutons. The menu changes seasonally but typical main courses would have monkfish with bacon and cabbage cream or herb crusted wild Irish venison loin with herb gnocchi and rich Valrhona chocolate sauce. We all love duck, well I do anyway, and at the Olde Post Inn, Skeaghnore free range duck breast is given an oriental twist with orange and Star Anise and served with red cabbage and celeriac. For the true carnivore - a tender, succulent sirloin steak is always on the menu with Béarnaise sauce or peppercorn and thyme jus as well as crispy onions. They also do a fab fillet of beef served with Colcannon and roasted shallot jus, whilst one of their stalwart dishes is free range breast of chicken with potato apple, herbs, bacon and Irish whiskey sauce, which reflects Gearoid's time at the legendary Dublin restaurant Le Coq Hardi.
Leave room for puds because they are superb. They do a great bread and butter pudding with crème Anglaise and also a great Tiramisu. Fig and almond tart is the one for me with banana and poppy seed ice-cream, whilst chocoholics will love the Black Forest Chocolate Fondant with cherry ice-cream.
Give yourself a treat and head for the Olde Post Inn.

Attention: For textbook, access codes and supplements are not guaranteed with used items.
Although the vast majority of law students take a corporations or basic business organizations course, there are surprisingly few attempts to systematically organize the most important doctrine and theories covered. Of the few books that track the basic business law course, even fewer still are of recent vintage. This book attempts to fill those lacunas by giving the reader a sense of the theory and history of business law along with providing a thorough review of doctrine. Mastering Corporations and Other Business Entities is intended to reach students in the basic Corporations or Business Organizations courses. This concise book attempts to make the core coverage of these courses agency principles, partnership law, fiduciary duties, securities fraud, and changes in corporate control as easy and straightforward as possible. Additionally, this book would be a useful resource to students in related law school courses, such as Agency and Partnership, Closely-Held Firms, Mergers and Acquisitions, and Securities Regulation. Mastering Corporations and Other Business Entities may also be helpful to both the graduate student in business administration who is enrolled in a basic business law course and the newly-minted corporate attorney who wants a refresher text.

just to finish on the island a surprise addition on a small car show on the jetty leading to the Lifeboat, this might appeal to some of the Motor Caravanners' Club.
This1968 Commer Campervan just been restored costing over £2,000 to fix the rust alone. Looks like an original Highwayman at £1094 then new although the interior is different. You could also have had an optional refrigerator fitted.
Inside was well kitted out although not original according to one of the group I spoke to.
Couple of MG cars being guarded by the owners, lovely to chat to them as well.
This Thames Truck and in great condition and coming all the way from Eastchurch on the island.
Lastly a yacht returning to its moorings after a day out. Thanks for looking, Mike

Okra Pepsin E3 is promoted as a dietary supplement which aims to support intestinal functions by providing bowel cleansing and supporting bowel functions. It is currently manufactured and sold by a company named Standard Process.
Founded in 1929 by Dr. Royal Lee, this company has had a fair share of positive reviews from people who have tried their products. Its founder was nicknamed the "Einstein of nutrition" and based his business on the idea that the source of an ingredient is of higher importance than the amount used in any nutritional remedy. Because of this, he thinks that even a small quantity of a whole food supplement, for example, can make a difference for the individual who is following that specific treatment. A particular feature of the company is the fact that their products were divided into three categories which are MediHerb, Whole Food Supplements, and Veterinary Products.
The manufacturer claims that degreed chemists and microbiologist are regularly conducting analytical and bacterial tests on the raw materials to the finished supplement, thus ensuring quality as well as safety. Furthermore, the nutrients haven't been disassociated into separate components. Thus they should have been kept complete and intact nutritional compounds. For the nutritional potential and enzymatic vitality to be preserved, there were only high-vacuum drying and low-temperature techniques used.

Teeth Whitening
One of the most common cosmetic dental problems people face are teeth that are stained, yellow, or discolored. Because tooth discoloration can be brought about by issues as diverse as aging and lifestyle choices, it is a problem that impacts nearly everyone at some time in their life.
Due to the ease with which teeth can stain, the over-the-counter teeth whitening industry has exploded in recent years. Sadly, most store-bought whitening kits are inconsistent at best and may even lead to significant irritation when used regularly. Oftentimes, patients find the most effective, fastest results come from professional tooth whitening performed by a dentist.
Tooth Whitening Options
Dr. Kasun offers both in-office and take-home tooth whitening options. What is best for your smile can be determined during your consultation.
For in-office whitening, Dr. Kasun will carefully apply a professional strength bleaching solution to your teeth, taking great care to avoid your gums and sensitive oral tissue. The solution is then activated with a special light, allowing it to lighten your teeth up to ten shades in as little as one hour. Dr. Kasun will supply you with a take-home kit after this treatment to enhance or help maintain results.
Our take-home kits have three distinct advantages over those purchased at a store:
- They come with a customized application tray.
- The bleaching solution is more powerful.
- Your treatment is overseen by an experienced dentist.
The customized application tray is essential for consistent whitening of all of your teeth. It also helps keep bleaching solution off of your gums, which may reduce your chances of tooth sensitivity. Having your tooth whitening overseen by Dr. Kasun helps ensure both your safety and satisfaction.
During your consultation, Dr. Kasun can assess your teeth, answer any tooth whitening questions you may have, and help you determine which option will best brighten and enhance your smile.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Mr. Howard Kelly, President of Sally Corporation, a worldwide leader in the entertainment and Dark Ride field. Here are some highlights of our conversation for those of you wanting to know more about the companys past, present and future:
Laff: When did "Sally Corporation" begin and who founded the company?
Mr. Kelly: Rides began in 1977 as a hobby for a local Jacksonville FL dentist. His hobby soon developed into a small animatronic company that was attempting to seize the opportunity being created by the Disney Company and pizza restaurant craze of the time. Restaurants using animatronics moderated very quickly but the use of animatronics in theme park entertainment and museums began to grow rapidly. What started with animated animal bands graduated to sophisticated interactive dark rides. Today, more than half of our work are dark rides and more than half of our work is international.
Laff: What is your personal background in the amusement industry?
Mr. Kelly: I joined the company as President in 1985, after 21 years in the television industry. While general manager of a network affiliate station, I also served on the Board of Directors of Sally. Sally Corporation is owned by nearly 80 stockholders. My TV entertainment experience was a natural connection for Sally. Sally does not see itself in the animatronics business. We view ourselves as being in the entertainment business.
Laff: What was the companys first ride refurbishment project and where was it located?
Mr. Kelly: Our first refurbishment project of any size was the revamping of one of Europes finest childrens water rides at Alton Towers, England. "Around The World In 80 Days" was in many ways Europes response to Disneys "Small, Small World".
Laff: Where was your first new dark ride installed?
Mr. Kelly: For more than 10 years we have been known for refurbishing existing rides around the world. But during this time we contributed animatronics and special effects to a variety of dark rides at MGM theme park in Las Vegas, Future World in Hangzhou China and a variety of water based dark rides in the States.
Laff: Interesting, are there any other, less noted installations not yet discovered by enthusiasts?
Mr. Kelly: Our dark rides are well known around the world. However, our newest creation will be a hallmark in the industry! We are currently developing the "Labyrinth of the Minotaur" for the new Terra Mitica theme park in Benidorm Spain. This will be Europes largest interactive ride featuring 76 animatronic figures out of Greek Mythology. The dark ride is designed as a true labyrinth. There are nearly 200 targets within the ride and as the six-passenger vehicles travel through the labyrinth, the combined score of all the riders will determine if the riders can go on to complete the ride or whether they will be forced out one of the exit tunnels.
Laff: Wow! That sounds really different! Id like to try that one myself. Please tell us about your companys animatronics division, who are some of the most noted designers and who is the main developer?
Mr. Kelly: The animatronics division has more than 60 artists, sculptors, mechanical and electronics technicians. The design team is lead by Vice President of Design Peter Dalsgaard. Peter heads a four person design staff, which includes Drew Hunter, our design director for Haunted Attractions.
Laff: Outstanding! I know Mr. Hunter was very proud of the ride that Sally did in Conn. At Lake Compounce, "Ghost Hunt", one of my favorites. In your opinion, why do you think dark rides are making a huge "comeback" in the 1990s?
Mr. Kelly: There are a number of reasons not the least, of which are the audiences need for a "high tech feel" in a high tech world. I also believe that the older skewing demographics of our attractions, parks can physically deal with a dark ride easier than the thrill rides. Dark rides are also a sharing experience. Parents and grandparents can share the encounter with children. This is truer with the interactive ride.
Laff: Good point, but by the same token, besides a well known theme park haunted house fire, why the demise of the older "Traditional" dark rides and fun houses from the past?
Mr. Kelly: Realism is more important than in the past. The old haunted rides with their cut our ghosts and rattling chains are no measure for the three-dimensional look and feel that we produce.
Laff: Ok, but that being said then, is the "Laser Gun" and scoring challenge the savior of the dark ride into the next century?
Mr. Kelly: No, the laser gun is only the first and easiest step to introducing interactivity into the dark ride. The real challenge for dark ride designers is to find a way to increase and vary interactive components without taking the "easy way" out, i.e., reliance on "guns" as an interactive device. I believe the market will demand less-violent interactivity. Our industry must be smarter and wiser than the video game industry.
Laff: I agree. The video gaming industry seems to have its ups and downs all the time. Here is truly an enthusiasts question: What kinds of voltage do your current cars run on and how do they relate to the high voltages that cars from the past ran?
Mr. Kelly: There is no set answer to this question. The theme park industry is international; therefore the voltages vary according to the country of installation. You can no longer think that the U.S. is the dark ride Mecca of the industry. It is just another country that represents the marketplace. In fact, some of the largest and most inventive rides are in Asia and Europe.
Laff: Interesting to say the least. Who manufactures the ride cars and are they of a fiberglass construction?
Mr. Kelly: Our small system ride cars are constructed by Barbisan of Italy. The ride system for the Labyrinth of the Minotaur in Spain is being developed by ETF of Holland. These six-passenger cars are totally battery operated and are trackless. The ride cars follow a thin wire buried in the floor of the ride. The batteries will power the ride car for about 14 hours without the need for recharging.
Laff: That is certainly new and different from past ride systems! From an initial response and inquiry for a new ride, what is the average time frame for completion on a ride?
Mr. Kelly: Our smaller interactive dark rides usually take about 5 months. Newer designs will take around 7 months. The large Labyrinth of the Minotaur will take about 14 months.
Laff: What exactly does the company supply when providing a new attraction?
Mr. Kelly: Our Company is capable for supplying a turnkey project. In other words, we offer to do everything except construct the building and its infrastructure. However, many clients prefer to deal directly with the ride system manufacturer leaving the animatronics, special effects and sets to us.
Laff: How do you personally feel about the "dynasty" so to speak of the dark rides that Pretzel built for so many years?
Mr. Kelly: Times are changing. There are few dynasties left in the world.
Laff: Are there any other former companies whose animatronics or dark ride work that you have respected, and what about the other current dark rides? Any that you find as nice work?
Mr. Kelly: Disney and Universal have set the modern day mark in many ways. Warner Bros./Six Flags have impressive rides also. In Europe, the classic dark rides can be found at De Eftling Park in Holland Parc Asterix in Paris.
Laff: I personally love the new "Ghost Hunt" in Conn., with its blacklighting and "Horror-Theme". Are there any plans to do a "Horror" walk-thru if business warrants so?
Mr. Kelly: None at this time.
Laff: Did you feel confident that the now defunct Dinosaur Beach dark ride from Wildwood NJ was a good concept and do you think it would have had a better chance in a different park to work?
Mr. Kelly: Dinosaur Beach was a solid concept. We have seen that dinosaurs are enduring in more ways than one. Dinosaurs are perhaps the oldest living fad.
Laff: Where do you see dark rides and your own company 10 years from now?
Mr. Kelly: More dark rides, but not necessarily bigger ones. More interactivity but not necessarily relying on violence and guns. The dark rides resurgence is far from reaching its peak.
Laff: If in fact, we could go forward in time 10 years, will Sally Corporation have a dark ride legacy also?
Mr. Kelly: Yes, I think our "Pistolero" style interactivity mini-dark ride is going to be regarded as our legacy. We broke open many markets with this concept thus bringing highly entertaining and affordable dark rides to an element of the attractions industry that would not have been able to include this form of entertainment into their attractions mix.
Laff: Any final thoughts or words for all the dark ride fans out there?
Mr. Kelly: Ride and Enjoy!
Laff-In-The-Dark would like to thank Mr. Howard Kelly and all the fine folks at Sally Corporation for taking the time for this inside look at the worldwide leader in animatronics and dark rides and an insight into the current state of the dark ride in the amusement industry.

"Argo" is more tone-deaf to the Middle East than "Zero Dark Thirty."
Posts Tagged: Argo
Appealing to jingoism is certainly easier than prompting national introspection, but is priming an audience for blood what we call art today?
While well-intentioned, "Argo" falls into the common Hollywood trap of making Muslims into a monolithic Green Menace.

Interview from Italian PC-Gaming.it Site
Before we begin, please introduce yourselves to our readers.
My name is Wojciech Pazdur and I'm Lead Designer of Get Even Project. I'm helping all those great guys (and gals) at The Farm 51 to shape the story and gameplay into a game that's my most unusual professional experience since I started to work in industry 14 years ago.
-How do you linked single-player and multiplayer ? will be competitive ?
"Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer" - wise man says. Although storyline of Get Even presents the tragic conflict of two ultimate foes and the game naturally flows into competitive scheme, we're moving outside of "kill'em'all" scenario. Most of interactions between players are combat related, but basically it's the story driven game where other people enter your world, and besides of placing obstacles on your way, some of their goals can be common with yours.
-Get Even will be linear ?
Get Even will be very non-linear...

She puts the final touches on her makeup and stands to pick up a breathing machine and a purple vest with black straps. After four breathing treatments, she puts on the vest and plugs it into the machine behind her. It begins to shake her chest, and she giggles as the vest causes her voice to quiver. As many other college students are leaving for class, she approaches her dresser and pours 20 pills into her hand. She sits down on her bed and lines up the pills by color to decide which ones she wants to take first, adding a little excitement to her tiring morning routine. After taking her pills, Libby Hankins grabs her backpack and leaves for class.
Hankins has cystic fibrosis, a disease caused by a genetic defect that causes thick and sticky mucus to build up in her organs causing them to quit working properly. This disease has no cure, but Hankins does not let this stop her. She is a University of West Alabama cheerleader, a member of Phi Mu Fraternity, an ambassador and even the UWA homecoming queen.
Her morning routine is just the beginning of what Hankins must face every single day. She uses several inhalers throughout the day, takes pancreatic enzymes to help digest her food, wears hearing aids because she has little hearing and does an antibody infusion once a week to boost her immune system. Many times, Hankins avoids hospital visits by giving herself IVs through a port in her chest. Other times, infection can cause a significantly lowered lung function, and she has to be hospitalized. However, this is nothing new for Hankins.
"She hardly ever complains, even if she is exhausted from being a full-time student, cheerleader and doing all of her treatments for CF," said Sheridan Galyon, Hankins' best friend, sorority sister, and junior majoring in exercise science. "Most people in Libby's situation would've given up by now, but Libby isn't like that. She will never quit fighting."
Since being diagnosed at the age of two, Hankins has had 17 surgeries to help her fight the disease. Through all of her experiences, she has stayed positive with the help of one special woman — her mom.
"My biggest supporter would absolutely be my mom. She has always taught me that I have to be tougher than it is," Hankins said. "The last time I was in the hospital, I was too sick for her to lie down beside me, which is what we have done for years. Every night, she would pull her bed beside mine and we would fall asleep holding hands. Some people may think that this is silly or childish, but I don't. That woman has saved me."
According to Hankins, her parents always treated CF as a part of her life, not her whole life, even if it was hard to grow up with a disease that kept her from participating in many things that normal teenagers are able to do.
"If I ever started to pity myself, my mom was quick to remind me to count my blessings," Hankins said. "There really is something good in every day if you just look for it."
"Her positive attitude and determination are two of the qualities that make Libby an inspiration on the UWA campus," said Jason Gardner, UWA cheerleading sponsor.
Hankins said she knew she wanted to attend UWA from her very first tour because everyone was so friendly and "it felt like home." Attending college was her first step dealing with CF outside of her small high school.
At UWA, Hankins knew that she fit in perfectly. She spends her time in many organizations on campus including the UWA cheerleading squad, Phi Mu Fraternity and the Office of Admissions. Hankins' involvement and radiant personality has caused many people on the UWA campus to get involved with CF awareness.
"The cheerleading squad, my Phi Mu sisters, the Exercise Science Club, and the UWA tennis team have all sponsored events to spread awareness," Hankins said. "Their willingness to take on this cause leaves me speechless with appreciation."
As a member of the cheerleading squad, Hankins is able to stay active and healthier than she has ever been. The exercise helps clear mucus from her lungs, which makes it easier to breathe. Staying active slows the rate of decline in lung function and keeps her body strong enough to more easily fight off infection.
"Mentally, cheerleading has given me a focus," Hankins said. "I love every part of it, and it is something that CF can't take away from me. It's my chance to be just like everyone else."
According to Gardner, she figures out how to overcome all challenges to make a positive out of it, and she works extremely hard to get where she is. He said they all know how hard she works to be a part of their family, and she never uses her disease as an excuse to miss out on anything.
"Libby was born a fighter and has fought for the things that many of us take for granted. She fights for every breath she takes," said Bethany Brakefield, UWA alumna and former member of the UWA cheerleading squad.
According to Brakefield, there was one specific day of practice where they had pushed with everything they had. Everyone was about to give up, except for Hankins.
"It made everyone realize that our sickest teammate was by far our strongest. Of course Libby was exhausted. We all were, but she wasn't about to give up," Brakefield said.
According to Libby, cheerleading is her "happy place." It is so easy for her to get overwhelmed and frustrated with everything that she has to deal with, but cheerleading allows her to forget all of that for a little while.
"When I am with them, I am not the girl with the disease. I'm just Libby," Hankins said.
However, she is not the only one that feels this way. The members of the cheerleading squad, the coach and sponsor feel the same.
"We don't look at Libby like she is a CF patient that is a cheerleader. She is a cheerleader that just happens to have CF. Cheerleading is first," Gardner said.
Despite her time spent cheering, Hankins also works as a UWA ambassador giving campus tours to prospective students. The Admissions office loves having her as a part of their team, according to Danielle Buckalew, admissions counselor. Her involvement on campus and her experience and knowledge of UWA makes her a vital part of the ambassador team.
"One great aspect of having her work with us is the opportunity for her to share her story, not just with our office but with other prospective students and their families," Buckalew said. "Libby is our 'rock star', our own campus celebrity, and she has become the face of CF for many of us."
Despite all of her involvement and struggles with CF, Hankins can still light up the darkest room, according to Brakefield. She is always in a cheerful mood, and no one would ever know that she fights for every breath. Although her battle with CF is difficult, she has lived with it much easier than many people who have struggled with the same disease.
"I don't have a good answer for why I am still here and others are not. I feel both blessed and guilty at the same time," Hankins said. "I don't in any way feel that I am more deserving of my life than any other person with CF. All I can do is focus on staying as healthy as I can and making every day count."

Caitlin Moran made me realise why blogs are so popular/
I had an epiphany while in the shower late last night. Actually I had two, but for now I'll save the second one for another time. Earlier in the day, whilst dog walking I listened to a podcast interviewing Caitlin Moran (Nerdette talks to Caitlin) where she talked about her realisation that we need to celebrate and harness the power of pop culture to lead social change.
She gave the example of a Doctor Who episode (please excuse my summarisation as I've never actually seen any of the show). It seems there was a bisexual character who kisses the infamous Doctor. The next morning brings tales from the playground of Caitlin's child's school of boys arguing to play the character. She exclaims that no amount of policy making or political campaigning has the immediate impact of pop culture.
Caitlin also discusses her new book where each chapter is a topic women try and keep secret. She says the world sees 'maleness' as normal, and female specific experiences as 'abnormal'. For example we're allowed to see copious amounts of blood on screen if someone is being shot in the head, but showing a man's finger with period blood on it (in Girls) is deemed shocking.
Just prior to my shower I'd watched Caitlin interview Lena Dunham , and Caitlin said that what Lena had powerfully done with her tv show Girls was to normalise female experiences.
In a way, Lena tried to reclaim the word normal from the media. Lena said she wrote the show because she didn't see herself on TV and its crucial that we can all see ourselves in media. I watched (or read) something once, but for the life of me can't find it, about a newsreader with a Chinese background. She said that as a child she'd literally never considered that she could be on TV as she'd never seen anyone like her on the screen. This stuff matters people; we need to see and hear our own voices.
We have been raised to not discuss female things. Abortion, periods, rape, female body hair etc. We are not allowed to say things like, "Shit, I need to take my tampon out.". Men things are normal, female things are not.
With all of these ideas and dialogues in my mind, back to my shower epiphany. These things explain why blogs are so popular, in particular why lifestyle blogs are so popular with women. We're crying out to see and hear voices the same as ours. We can't find them on TV or in magazines, and so we've turned to the millions of self-published voices to find ourselves in them.
It also confirms the power and weight that bloggers with influence hold. In the same way that Lena and Caitlin don't owe feminism a perfect solution, influencers don't owe their readers a moral obligation to be a trailblazer for a cause. However, collectively our power is that we get to be the voice we didn't hear, the images we didn't see when we were growing up. We get to widen the landscape of what it means to be a woman, one blog at a time.
Fuck me, isn't that glorious? We get to reduce the shame and embarrassment, anxiety and fear that often silently connects women. We get to start and join in with conversations that end with a collective, "Gosh, me too!" which can instantly lift the weight of femaleness we carry. Never has sharing the everyday been so powerful.

The mobile & local intent eureka moment
In 2012 our team has been blogging a great deal about mobile search as this digital medium continues to evolve. We've told you the statistics, to help you understand how device usage is changing and validate the growth in digital devices. We've shared with you how your business can maximise your mobile website usability. We developed an infographic to explore the advent and historical evolution of location based marketing.
I had a eureka moment thinking about the relationship between mobile search and local intent, which I am going to share with you below.
Since the early 1900s when the first Yellow Pages directories were first introduced, this is the tool we used when we had a local need. Need a plumber, check the directory. Need a dentist, check the directory. Our local services were all jam packed into a large book that served our local requirements.
Different, but the same
Today, when we have a local need, it's not the fundamental behaviour that has changed, but rather the medium we use to make local searches. We're in effect, still using a directory, the difference is that the information which was previously packed into a book, is now available to us at our fingertips, on our digital devices and smartphones.
The directory has expanded into multiple search engines and search tools like Yelp.ca, RedFlagDeals, GooglePlaces, Urbanspoon, Facebook, but, in effect it's as if we're still tapping into that original Yellow Pages directory.
One fundamental advantage we have today is that we can carry our directory around with us wherever we go. Imagine carrying a Yellow Pages directory with you everywhere, you can't! BUT your mobile phone, it's your 24/7 companion and is with you, in real time, for every situation of local need in your day.
Businesses – Read this part
The logic goes to show that if people are searching locally, on the go, in real time, when they require any type of local service, in order for your business to COMPETE for that business, your business listing will need to appear on mobile devices for local searches.
Think Mobile. Think Local. Drive Local Business!
Get your business on Google mobile search, leverage mobile display advertising, determine the basket of online local resources, relevant to your business and make sure that your ad shows up when local searchers are trying to find a solution to their problem.
Remember, 9 out of 10 local searches result in an action. It's up to you whether that action results in business for you or for your competitors.
In the spirit of the Olympic Games, giving your competitors free local business by not competing where searchers are looking for your product; would be like being Michael Phelps giving away Olympic Medals to his competitors by not swimming.
