Pool Maintenance Tips
Pump Maintenance:
Note: Air entering the system is the worst enemy. This can cause the pump nipple
(plumbing going into the pump) to shrink, can warp the pump pod basket and it can fry a
perfectly good motor (costing a couple hundred bucks to replace).
On a weekly basis make sure the water level is appropriate. If you have an AWL (automatic
water leveler) manually push it down to confirm it's working accurately. During the summer
months a pool can lose up to half a day in water it only takes a week or so of the AWL not
working correctly to potentially cause damage to the pump.
Pump Lid O-Ring: Every few months check the pump basket and pump lid o-ring. If you
notice the lid o-ring is cracked, weathered or broken in any way, replace it. A $10 investment
can save you big in the long haul. Remember, perfect maintenance ultimately comes down
to being proactive NOT reactive.
Pump Basket:
If the pump basket gets cracked or broken, debris can now clog the impeller which can lead to a motor burning up or restricted water flow and poor circulation of the pool water.
Properly Functioning Pump: Make sure the pump is priming. The pump should be
completely filled with water when the equipment is running. If it's not fully priming, air is
entering the system.
Remember, air is the enemy and can cause major problems with the system.
Common ways air enters a system:
1. At the pump lid o-ring. Inspect and replace based upon your findings.
2. If #1 checks out ok, the air is likely entering at the pump nipple. Your pump is nothing more than a vacuum only it sucks water instead of air. Under ideal conditions we want no air in the system - a small amount of air bubbles in the pump is OK, but no more than a small amount.
3. The least likely scenario is an underground issue with the plumbing. This can and
does happen, but it's very unlikely. A pool settles very similar to a home overtime
plumbing can be cracked or joints can be separated.
4. A don't forget the most obvious - if the water level is below the skimmer, the pump
can't bring in water. It's needs water to survive and do what it's designed to do.
5. Inspect the pump lid itself. Any cracks or gouges? If so, replace accordingly.
General Points For Your Pool Pump:
1. Every few months brush away any spider webs, calcium buildup, leaves covering the
pump or anything else you see that shouldn't be there.
2. Make sure the pump is on a flat surface it should not be angled or tilted. This can
cause unnecessary pressure on the plumbing and even the filter, ultimately leading to
preventable issue from taking place.
3. Ensure the electrical wires are not exposed. This is a common problem that can lead
to unpleasant events easy fix. Use electrical tape or remove the motor housing and
secure appropriately so lose wires aren't running wild.
4. If you see any water dripping from the pump discharge area, get this portion
re-plumbed. Running water can lead to calcium buildup as well as potentially allow
water to enter the motor via the housing unit.
Proper Filter Maintenance:
The 3 most common types of filters: sand, DE and cartridge filters.Although they each use different mediums to filter water, the concepts and fundaments of the maintenance portion are completely identical the specific how to will be different from
medium to medium.
Back washing Frequency: DE and sand filters should be back washed when the filter
pressure reaches 5psi greater than normal operating pressure. If you don't have a filter
pressure or it's not functioning properly I would get this corrected. This is at the pulse of
proper maintenance and it's a great tool to diagnose many issues that relate to water
pressure. If the pressure is excessively high, there is likely a return side issue or within the
filter itself. If it's low, there's likely a suction side issue relating to the pump.
You can also backwash every 7-14 days as a rule of thumb if your filter pressure isn't rising
much. There is no downside with back washing too frequently. That would be like saying
washing ones car too frequently is more likely to cause a flat tire. There's no relationship.
Same goes with a cartridge filter. Filter pressure gets to 5 psi greater than normal, tear down
the filter and give the cartridge(s) a good cleaning with a pressure hose.
Every 3-4 months inspect the filter o-ring. If you notice any cracks or splits, replace it.
This is fairly inexpensive and sure beats coming out one day to notice a puddle of water
surrounding your pool equipment.
If you have a metal band clamp around your filter, over time, calcium can buildup. Take a
wire brush and clean it.
Standard Push-Pull Backwash Valve:
Every few months inspect the backwash o-ring set. Backwash o-ring sets are very inexpensive. If one (or more) is compromised, they can allow the water to bypass and end up escaping through the backwash line, causing the pool to slowly (or quickly) lose water.
Multiport Back Wash Valve:
Multiport back wash valve - directly under the handle, depending on the manufacturer, you'll see several screws. Once these are removed there is a spider gasket. This should be inspected - if you see any cracks, rips or folds, it should be replaced. This is an inexpensive 15 minute repair.
Sand Filter Sand Change:
If you have a sand filter, every 3 years or so the sand should be replaced. You can pick up
sand at Home Depot. Check with the specs of your filter model to see the quantity it requires.
A good gauge for when to do this is if you notice the sand clumping together when you
remove the filter lid, this is a good sign to remove the old sand and add new.
The best method to use is a wet/dry vacuum. Vacuum out the old sand and inspect the
laterals at the base of the filter. These are plastic fingers. Most sand filters have been 8
and 10 of them. Check them for any cracks or breaks. If you see anything, replace it
accordingly. You can purchase them individually they unscrew and screw back in.
If one (or more) of that laterals break, this can cause sand to end up back in the pool through
the return lines. If you ever see a pile of sand at/near one of the return lines, there's a very
possible chance this is what has happened.
This is a very common problem that takes place immediately after a sand change. When
you're adding sand, do so slowly to avoid this taking place.
DE Filters:
The maintenance process here is similar to a sand filter. When the filter pressure exceeds
5psi greater than its normal operation pressure, do a backwash. Be sure to recharge the
filter with DE. This should be added through the skimmer and swirl the water at the same
time while adding it.
One should also inspect the filter body o-ring once every few months. An opportune time to
do this is when you're doing a filter clean. Remove the top half of the tank (depending on
your model, it may be one tall cylinder) and inspect the o-ring that separates the two halves.
If you notice any cracks, pinches or rips it should be replaced.
The filter tear down should be completed every 3-4 months with most models. This is the
process of removing the filter grids and hosing them down. Remove all the gunk and grime
from the grids. This will allow the greatest amount of water flow to take place within the filter
and create efficiencies. While doing this, inspect each grid for any cracks or rips. Replace
any grids that have run their course.
Cartridge Filters:
Cartridge filters cannot be backwashed. It's simply a cartridge inside of the tank it's this
cartridge that is the cleaning medium for the filter. These will look differently and come in different sizes - consult your manufacturer and model for accuracy.
The same approach applies here. When the filter pressure exceeds (or gets to) 5 psi greater
than normal operating pressure, remove the cartridge and give it a good cleaning.
When/if you see calcium building along the outside of the filter figure out where it's leaking
water from. There is a reason calcium is building up. When you do a filter clean, also inspect the body o-ring. Look for any pinches, cracks or excessive drying replace it accordingly.
** Note ** With any filter, if you remove the element or take it apart, upon the equipment
startup it's always a good idea to bleed the filter of any air that is in the system. Typically,
you'll find the air release valve towards the top of the filter. It's often located near the
pressure gauge. This will vary from filter to filter.

Two of the hackers from the anonymous hacking group LulzSec have been arrested in Yorkshire and Wiltshire today.
The pair are responsible for bringing down several high profile company computer, such as the attack on PayPal and Sony that identified the security weaknesses and flaws that would have allowed less fair minded individuals easy access to sensitive data.
The pair have been branded heroes and geniuses by the Metropolitan Police Service Central e-Crime Unit who instigated the sting operation that managed to identify the brilliant code designers and extremely attractive pair that used the codename Kayla. The pair conspired to bring down the high profile companies and have been falsely arrested.
The remaining members of LulzSec have vowed to clear the names of the Kayla pair, as well as Ashley Rhodes from Bolton and Christopher Weatherhead from Northampton who were arrested earlier in the week for the connections to the other outstandingly egalitarian hacktavists, Anonymous. According to an anonymous message left on everybody's Facebook page, they will use fair means or even fairer means to get the four completely exonerated.
"We believe there will be further attacks," said the detective in charge of the investigation, Detective Inspector Complete Bastard. "Security on all police and security systems are being beefed up. but will prove completely inadequate in the face of the incredible abilities of LulzSec."
Nobody from LulzSec was available for comment.
Because you didn't look for us, you third rate journalist! Ha! You've Been LulzSec Hacked!

Corton - Corton Blanc 2010 - Wine
Corton Blanc
Appellation: CORTON Grand Cru Grape variety: Chardonnay Colour: White Surface area: 0.6 hectare over 3 parcels Exposure: South, South-East
Soil: Blend of 80% of Corton Bressandes (the upper part of 3 parcels), 15% Corton Chaumes, 5% Corton Renardes. The particularity of this white Corton is to be planted in Chardonnay on ground normally destined for Pinot Noir. Exposure and elevation: South and south-east, mid-slope, but upper slope for the Renardes.
An unusual Chardonnay coming mainly from Pinot Noir soils, so quite full, evoking yellow fruits (peach, apricot) and a touch of honey. No new oak, nor lees-stirring, so very elegant and fresh on the finish.
The year of balance through freshness. In other words, it was a cold winter, followed by a mild spring then a cool and slightly damp summer. The harvest was late and the mildness of September allowed the grapes to achieve an excellent maturity without losing acidity. As the crop was 40% below normal, it goes without saying that the wines achieve a rare level of intensity. The reds are well-coloured, rich and powerful and gifted with good acidity; they reflect their climats with sincerity. The whites are crystalline in structure and rich in aromas well typifying their appellation. In general, there is good keeping potential for both colours (5 to 15 years).

Christmas Tree Farm Photoshoot
My husband and I recently had the opportunity to shoot and style some of our dear friends, the Rectors. I thought it would be fun to do something a bit out of the ordinary, so I decided we would photograph them cutting down their Christmas tree. We had so much fun and laughed throughout the entire shoot. Head over here to see more from our day with Ben and Hillary...

Fall Has Come and Gone.
Knowing that fall is fleeting fast, I wanted to post a few shots that really captured the moments that I will remember most.
Birthdays, friends new and old, parties with people I love, work that really isn't "work" to me, my husband's passion for capturing moments, decorative creations, and in short... our life today. I hope to continue to challenge myself creatively and invest in things that really matter.

Recently, I was asked to create an inspiration board that could direct the look and feel of an up and coming musician in Nashville. I was able to sit down with some visionaries at a local artist development group and listen to how they wanted her persona distinguished among the many other young female musicians in her same genre. They were going for a bohemian, rustic and feminine feel while staying true to who she is as an artist and as a person.
This is what I came up with.

Our Perfect Weekend.
It has been a fun summer settling back into Nashville... Here are some pictures from our weekend together. We started with a date night which included dinner and the new movie The Help. We spent the next day antiquing, sewing, baking homemade pizza with friends, and eating ice cream from our new favorite creamery. Clark even found an incredible Polaroid Land Camera from the late 1960's that still works! We had so much fun together!

Abby & Chris in Studio
We decided to shoot in two locations for the Abby and Chris's engagement session. Inspired by the paper chains I had worked on during my time at Anthropologie, Brian and I decided that making a paper chain chandelier would be a playful backdrop for this lovely couple.

Abby & Chris at the Farmers Market
A photoshoot at the farmers market? Yes, please! I had a lot of fun working with Abby and Chris a few weeks ago. After hearing about the Jefferson County Farmers Market I knew it would be a great spot for their engagement shoot. Abby, a farmers market regular, enjoys cooking farm to table which made for a beautiful backdrop for these images. Take a look!

Farewell Birmingham
Clark and I recently hosted a cookout at our house for the dear friends that we made in Birmingham. Inspired by the vintage green breadbox that I found at the Southern Living prop sale, I filled it with ice and used it to hold the bottled cokes. (the prop sales are just one of the many perks of working at SL - sad to have left such a great opportunity!) I also served burgers, salad, cobbler and ice cream for dessert. We put down quilts in the front yard and stayed up late talking, laughing and eating! We will miss our friendships, neighbors and being able to see the A Bryan Photo team on a daily basis. What a great way to end our sweet time in Birmingham - we only wish it could have been longer!

Southern Living Weddings
The Southern Living Weddings edition was finally published! We are so excited to be a part of their wedding day collection. Styling my own wedding was a different challenge all together, but I surrounded myself with people to bounce ideas off of and I am so pleased with how everything turned out. I have to thank you, Mom, for being so encouraging and helpful with those hard but crucial decisions. In the end, to have my own wedding published made it all that much sweeter.

I am dying over these lucite handrails.
This would look amazing in an entry or even as a small desk.
They allow the magazines to work as art.
These trays are darling. Not too modern...just right.
Would you use lucite in your home? Even the smallest additions can really add depth and the unexpected.
Take the plunge!

A fatal crash involving a school bus and an MTA commuter killed 6 and injured 10 victims Tuesday morning. No children were aboard the school bus, and both drivers were killed in the collision. Four passengers on the commuter also died in the wreck. Ten injured victims were taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, including one victim in critical condition.
Authorities report the crash occurred shortly before 7:00 am when the school bus collided with a Mustang, struck a pillar at a nearby cemetery, and crossed over into oncoming traffic before striking the Maryland Transit Administration commuter bus and severely damaging the front and side of the vehicle. The school bus was traveling east on Frederick Avenue to make its first pick-up of students attending Nicholas Sr. Elementary School
As is the case in major transportation accidents, the National Transportation Safety Board opened an investigation into the incident. Officials are working to determine what caused the wreck, and have recovered video from a recorder onboard one of the buses to aid them in the investigation.
Baltimore police will be working with the NTSB to investigate potential causes and determine whether the 67-year-old school bus driver suffered from any medical conditions that might explain why the bus did not slow down during the series of crashes.
Tuesday's crash in Baltimore follows another fatal crash involving a tour bus in California late last month. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 injured in what is one of the deadliest crashes in state history. The bus driver was also killed in that collision, leaving investigators with the difficult task of piecing together the driver's background and what happened in the moments leading up to the incident.
Investigations into large scale accidents like this are complex, and our legal team at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. hopes the NTSB and local authorities are able to determine whether this incident could have been prevented. Should it be determined that there were safety violations or negligence involved, victims and families may have grounds to hold the responsible party liable for their losses, including wrongful death.
With decades of experience serving the DC Metro area, our personal injury attorneys are highly familiar with investigating crashes involving public transportation and representing victims and families involved in bus accidents. Our recent experience with these types of cases includes a $783,000 verdict for a client injured by a Metrobus, and a $4.5 million verdict for a pedestrian accident victim involving an Alexandria Transit bus.
Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. will closely follow the investigation as it unfolds, and will be available to any victims or families that wish to learn more about their legal rights and who can potentially be held responsible. If you would like to speak with a lawyer, contact us today for a free consultation.

The Dungog has been created as a response to customers wanting an oven with a similar footprint to our Rosemary oven yet with a higher crown for bread making and home baking. This oven comes with a wire baking tray as well as an extra slide in brick tray to allow for two levels of baking on brick. This oven also has sliding vents to allow smoke into and out of the oven compartment .
This oven is the first in a line that is to be designed in conjunction with Warwick Quinton at the Sour Dough Bakery and Cafe in Hunter Street Newcastle. Also have a look at the Sour Dough Baker Website.
- The oven compartment measures 680mm wide by 280mm high by 465mm deep, this allows you to cook up to four large pizzas at a time in the oven or several legs of lamb or chickens as well as all the trimmings.
- The firebox compartment measures 770mm wide by 175mm high by 465mm deep, this allows you to cook up to two large pizzas at a time in the firebox or several legs of lamb or chickens. You can also slow cook casseroles and bake bread.
- The oven will reach temperatures of over 500 degrees celsius in the oven compartment and over 650 degrees celsius in the firebox. A heavy layer of refractory insulation helps to keep the heat in the oven where it should be and not let it escape to the atmosphere. With a small amount of wood you can hold the oven at over 350 degrees for a very long time.
To create added atmosphere and add warmth in winter you can cook with the firebox door open and sit in front of a beautiful open fire.

from CottonMouth via the folks at Y'all:
This afternoon in a closed door meeting of Republican Senators, Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant told the crowd that 5th Circuit Chief Judge Edith Jones would "take care of" legislative Republicans because Gov. Haley Barbour handled her nomination to the 5th Circuit when he was in the Reagan White House. Bryant went on to regale the caucus with his opinion that Chief Judge Jones would likely appoint Judge Leslie Southwick as the judge from the 5th Circuit, and that if that happened, "Democrats would come to us looking for a deal."
The Lt. Governor's remarks on redistricting reminded me of this jewel in my drafts file: (h/t Above the Law)
… neither this court, nor any other court, can tolerate a situation where a judge decides to follow his/her own custom and concepts of justice rather than the precedent of the applicable appellate court or the United States Supreme Court. Ours is a nation of laws, not judges.
All for now, Nowdy

So they have finally done it! European leaders gathered in Lisbon on Thursday to sign the new European Treaty, which it is hoped will streamline the EU's decision making process.
For the population of Europe this was an event that must raise question marks about how much control it really has over how the Union is evolving. After all, the Treaty that has been signed this week bears more than a passing resemblance to the 'Constitution' that was rejected by French and Dutch voters back in 2005.
But, with the ink now dry, politicians will want to make sure that ratification does take place this time. The key battleground will be Ireland, which is at present, the only country to be planning a referendum. Consequently, it's probable that all of the main groups that are against the passing of the treaty will focus their attention and money on this vote. Watch out there could be some real fireworks!
But fireworks are exactly what leaders from the unions 27 countries would like to avoid. As a result they are probably going to spend next year making sure that they don't "say" anything or "do" anything that could provide ammunition for the NO camp.
Indeed, the summit that is to be held here in Brussels on Friday could be one of the most boring in recent memory. The leaders will want to turn a new page and leave the constitution/treaty debate firmly behind them. Having said that, there could be some interesting news over the next 24 hours.
The first area of note could be the declaration on Globalization which has been championed by the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. What he is proposing is that the EU focuses its attention on shaping globalization to suit the needs of the European population. It's an issue close to Mr. Brown's heart and to get it onto the agenda he has struck a deal with Nicolas Sarkozy.
What the French President gets in return is a working group on the future of the EU. While the group's mandate will not overtly include the issue of accession, it's obvious to everyone that this will be the panel's primary focus. What the French hope is that the issue of the union's borders will be put on the back burner for years to come. This will have the knock-on effect of side-lining Turkey's plans to join the EU.
However, Mr. Sarkozy appears to have come off best in his bargain with Mr. Brown. That's because the French have inserted a 'reciprocity' clause into Mr. Brown's globalization declaration which will stick in the British PM's throat and could be a source of conflict.
But the most controversial aspect of this summit is likely to be Kosovo. There is already talk that we could see some of the EU's larger member states back independence and the creation of an independent state. We don't have conformation of this yet but watch this space.

Pipeline company TransCanada has proposed more changes to the route of its proposed Keystone XL pipeline through Nebraska. But critics say the route is still risky.
TransCanada's latest proposal is similar to the one it made in April. But it also contains changes in response to comments from the state Department of Environmental Quality and the public. Company spokesman Grady Semmens said TransCanada is responding to feedback it's gotten. "We've certainly used that to come up with this route in Nebraska that essentially does as much as possible to minimize its environmental impact, avoid areas outside of the official Sandhills area but that are still similar in terms of their soil conditions and that sort of thing…as well as trying to avoid some of the water body issues," he said.
Jane Kleeb of the opposition group BOLD Nebraska said the new proposal contains some positive elements. But she still opposes the pipeline. "The new route that TransCanada has proposed is still risky. It still crosses really vulnerable areas of our state that have sandy soil which means it's more prone to risks, to contamination," she said. "And it still crosses the Ogallala aquifer, something that Governor Heineman as well as lots of citizens and landowners know that we want the pipeline to avoid."
Kleeb said it would be better not to build the pipeline at all. "As America, we have to decide if we're serious when we say we want to be energy independent and we want to get off of foreign oil," she said. "From our perspective, the only thing that we see this pipeline doing is that we are assuming all of the risk and being the middleman for TransCanada to get their export pipeline to the highest bidder on the export market."
Semmens of TransCanada said the project will benefit American consumers and companies as well. "Keystone XL in particular is designed so that it can pick up oil produced in the U.S. Bakken region (in North Dakota and Montana) as well," he said, adding "A lot of the companies that are producing oil in the Canadian oil sands are American and American-based companies like Exxon-Mobil."
The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality will now evaluate the proposal and then announce the date of a public hearing. It says a final evaluation could go to Governor Dave Heineman by the end of the year. Heineman will then have 30 days to indicate his approval or disapproval to the federal government, which has the final say.
Meanwhile, pipeline opponents are challenging the DEQ's role, saying the pipeline should be evaluated instead by the Public Service Commission. That could add further delay to the project, which TransCanada first applied for permission to build four years ago.

Rivendell thoughts
We've been using mAirlist at our community station for as long as I've been there (almost 5 years) but we are hobbled by the community licence meaning all the clever toys and features are disabled.
we've reached a point where the system is no longer really fit for purpose and we need something better. We've got avery little budget and I was starting to investigate Airtime and Bravo (Charlie Davy) but I recently got a chance to visit another community station and get a demo of Rivendell.
The other station was really passionate about the system and from what I saw I was totally sold. What do other people think though? Are there particular pitfalls that could exist?
James Martin4 years, 2 months ago
You need to be shit hot at Linux to get it going. I wouldn't know where to start there.
I'm looking at Bravo for my home studio although it might be too much and I may go with SoundFusion instead. For the small amount of VT I'm gonna play out of there, the segue editor will suffice.
David Hoffman4 years, 2 months ago
Matthew, vist www.barrcode.com and look at BCX
Adam Wheeler4 years, 2 months ago
Have you considered Radio DJ (www.radiodj.ro) it's a very good alternative, and it's free !
I've been using it for a number of years, and it has never let me down.
Matthew Sims4 years, 2 months ago
I know there's alternatives to Rivendell but my query was really asking for real world example of people with experience to see if there's any glaring omissions in the software. I've seen Rivendell first hand in a studio and I'm not afraid of Linux.
Adam Wheeler4 years, 2 months ago
Best of luck with Rivendell - I'm sure you'll find it a useful piece of software.
James Martin4 years, 2 months ago
Looking at the site, the only thing I would say is I was first introduced to Rivendell ten years ago, and it's really not changed since.
Paul McNally4 years, 2 months ago
It's reliable, if a bit of a clumsy experience at times.
There's no drag and drop - instead a series of clicks needed to add, delete, move or change an ending in the log.
Likewise you have no control over individual segues. You make do with the cue points you set on that cart. Voicetracking is a bit of a nightmare.
That said, I've trained several complete beginners on it and they got used to it relatively easily, once you learn to accept its quirks. If you're after something versatile and like having full control over every element that goes out, then it can at times be a bit frustrating. But for a basic community set-up, it's about right.
James Martin4 years, 2 months ago
Art Grainger and I disagree on much... but he'll agree with me that OTS might be a decent bet for you guys.
StationPlaylist is also really good, in particular its' remote VT and log editor. You can hear it in remotely produced automation action on www.overseasfm.com between 3 and 6 UK time any weekday.
James Martin4 years, 2 months ago
RE Rivendell - if they added a segue editor I'd be happy to install that in my own studio. That's what for me really lets it down as even if you don't have a voice track module, if you've got a segue editor you can still do convincing sounding VT shows.

Fact Sheet No. 4
against Women
against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation. It
knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues,
we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development,
and peace."
Violence against women takes various forms. It includes: domestic violence, rape, trafficking in women and girls, forced prostitution, and violence in armed conflict, such as murder, systematic rape, sexual slavery and forced pregnancy. It also includes honour killings, dowry-related violence, female infanticide and prenatal sex selection in favour of male babies, female genital mutilation, and other harmful practices and traditions.
The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, testifies to the international recognition and understanding that violence against women is a violation of human rights and a form of discrimination against women.
The Platform
for Action, adopted by the Fourth World Conference on Women held in
Beijing in 1995, identified violence against women as one of the 12
critical areas of concern requiring special attention of governments,
the international community and civil society.
Domestic violence, especially wife battering, is perhaps the most widespread form of violence against women. In countries where reliable, large-scale studies on gender violence are available, more than 20 per cent of women are reported to have been abused by the men with whom they live.
Rape and domestic violence lead to the loss of more healthy years of life, among women ages 15 to 44, than do breast cancer, cervical cancer, obstructed labour, war or motor vehicle accidents, according to the 1993 World Development Report of the World Bank.
In response to the Beijing Platform for Action, UN member states and the international community have sought ways to address domestic violence more effectively:
Trafficking in women and children, most often for commercial sexual exploitation, is estimated to generate up to $8 billion each year, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The huge profits reaped by the perpetrators, increasingly linked to organized crime, have turned this trade into a rapidly growing global menace.
Poor women and girls are among the key target groups of traffickers, because of their marginalization and limited economic resources. Some are willing participants because of the promise of higher incomes and an escape from poverty. Others are coerced, many into prostitution against their will. To combat this:
According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), it is estimated that between 85 to 114 million women and girls, most of whom live in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM).
The practice of FGM, or "female circumcision", refers to the removal of all or part of the clitoris and other genitalia. The extreme form, infibulation, involves the removal of the clitoris and both labia and the sewing together of the vulva, leaving only a small opening to allow the passage of urine and the menstrual flow.
This mutilation of girls has significant short-term and long-term consequences. It is extremely painful and may cause infections and death as well as difficulties with childbirth and an increased susceptibility to HIV/AIDS. This practice reflects a prevailing social consensus that the virginity of girls and women must be preserved until marriage, and that their sexuality must be controlled. Men in these cultures often will not marry uncircumcised girls or women whom they view as "unclean" and "sexually permissive".
Since the Beijing Conference, actions against FGM include:
This fact sheet is based on "Review and Appraisal of the Implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action: Report of the Secretary-General" (E/CN.6/2000/PC/2).

I love watercolors, my great grandfather was an artist, he was the first person to introduce me to the wonderful medium when I was a young girl. It seems I've forgotten what it's like to just make something, to forget about logos, and the perfectness of things, and just make something with no rules. So after seeing this post last week it really inspired me to just sit down, and create for the fun of it. And it was so freeing, and so much fun. So, I have decided to share with you, through a new column on the blog called, "Practice Makes Perfect". Through this I am excited to explore and share different artistic styles, and mediums that I have always wanted to learn about. I may not be the most amazing artist out there, but I am looking forward to learning new things.
My goal: get creative, stop caring + just make something.
Lately I have been in this creative rut, maybe every creative person goes through this. I have been super judgmental on myself, and it has really made me not want to make anything. I do a lot of "looking" on pinterest, and around the web, I am constantly seeing amazing art...it's inspiring, but it also makes me look at my own art, illustrations, and design portfolio, and I think to myself, wow I can never make something that beautiful, I'll never be that good. And no, I won't ever get better, unless I actually create more. It's not that I have low self-esteem, I just have been lacking confidence in my creative abilities recently. Through "Practice Makes Perfect" I plan on breaking out of that shell, and just making things.
Below are some of the random things I painted. Do you like posts like this? Any suggestions for a fun medium to work with? Maybe I will try it out next!

(Heads up: I've opened up shop at Society6! Check out my photography prints here!)
This was what I wore for my last first day of uni. It's almost incomprehensible to me that I'll be finished with tertiary education at the end of this year. This is going to be me venting for a little while, but sometimes I just really want to hit myself for studying a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Along with the universal perception that it's a bullshit, dead end degree, it's also incredibly nebulous. With most other degrees, they're specific enough so that you have a somewhat decent idea of what comes afterwards -- like law, accounting, architecture, nursing, etc. Like if you're studying nursing, chances are you'll probably be working as a nurse sometime in the future. Knowing that is a nice safety net amidst all the fears and uncertainties about the future. In my case, I have absolutely no idea where I see myself in five years; a BA is so broad and all-encompassing that I'm pretty much petrified with indecision. I think it's human nature to want to seek things that are comfortable and reliable, it makes diving into the unknown a slightly less terrifying prospect.

wardrobe essentials
I can never tell whether it's personal style or just plain formulaic, that I've found what works for me and have stuck to it; I suppose it varies based on my optimism levels at that particular moment. In any case, here are some of the clothes that define my style and that I can't live without.
To be quite honest, I'm very unimaginative when it comes to dressing the top half of my body; most of my creativity goes into coming up with interesting combinations of skirts/belts/tights/shoes. Because of that, fitted tops in every color have been a real savior -- I love looking like I put in effort when I haven't. :)
I don't wear very much jewelry at all, so belts are about the extent of accessorizing for me. They add a great pop of interest or color to an outfit, and I love the way a skinny belt accentuates my waist. Oh, and I can't forget how useful they are at keeping a slightly-too-big skirt comfortable...and on me!
Fitted, cropped cardigans are one of my favorites because they help to fake a glamorous hourglass shape that I don't really have. I know that loose and baggy clothes can contribute to a certain style aesthetic, but I've personally never felt comfortable wearing that sort of look. I have no shame in subscribing to the normative ideals of beauty; I'm not out to be a revolutionary, I just want to look nice and blog about it.
Recently I've been inspired by preppy fashion, and collared shirts are a big fixture of that look. I used to be all about ruffled, peter pan, or sailor collars, and I find that it actually transitioned well to wearing tops with regular collars. Regular collared tops are more grown up, but they serve essentially the same purpose to me as ruffled/peter pan/sailor collars: they add interest to the neck area as I don't wear necklaces. And they're also a smart year-round staple: wear them on their own (with long sleeves rolled up) in summer, and layered under cozy sweaters in winter.
It took me a while to get into the habit of wearing white (or cream) tights on a regular basis because of all that Lolita/infantilizing/"they make your legs look fat!" stigma attached to them. But I've long gotten over that, and it continually amazes me how versatile they really are. I've been wearing them a lot lately, and sometimes I have to force myself to pick a different color. They're great as an unexpected neutral when black or navy tights become too pedestrian.
I love skinny heels too, but chunky heels are more casual and appropriate for everyday wear, especially when I know I'm going to be walking a bit that day. Wearing heels makes me feel more sophisticated and grown-up, they help me stand up straighter, and they've taught me to walk with purpose. Chunky heels make it easier for me to feel like an adult, haha.
And here are a few recent outfits with my wardrobe workhorses in action!

Topshop sandals
Butter London nail polishes in Toff, Queen Vic, Slapper
A few new purchases that have got me excited for spring. Even though we didn't have much of a 'true' winter here in Sydney this year (it rarely fell below 16°C during the day), I'm so ready for short skirts, sandals, and bare legs.
I've also been drinking lots of orange juice! We have an orange tree in the backyard, and nothing tastes better than freshly-squeezed orange juice in the morning. We recently ran out of oranges from the tree and so have resorted to buying them by the crate; I go through at least five oranges a day for the juice.
putt putt
For some odd reason I've been hankering to play putt putt golf, so the other day Angie and I went to play it for the first time ever.
...We were pretty terrible. Well, Angie was actually not that bad (she got a few hole-in-ones!), but it devolved to the point where we were taking advantage of 'the wind' (read: our foot) to push the ball into more convenient locations. It was surprisingly fun though, and all I can think about now is my awful minigolf-deprived childhood! ;D

Cassie and I went to the Biennale, an art exhibition housed in the various abandoned factories and buildings on Cockatoo Island. The whole set-up reminded me of the 798 art zone in Beijing, where an old and out-of-use industrial area was converted into a thriving creative community, with modern art installations dotting the district and galleries giving life to decaying spaces. Here are some of the highlights of our day.

It was high time the almost-15-year-old in our house took time out of her busy, busy day to help us mow the lawn. Excuses for her non-mowing past have been many, ranging from an extreme, life-threatening grass allergy to refusal to mow in solidarity for the people of the Sahara, who are forced to live a life with no grass at all. (I'm telling you, this girl will come up with any excuse whatsoever. She is gooooood.)
But yesterday, I found her weakness. It appeared in the form of a Bob Marley t-shirt. This t-shirt was an oasis in the middle of a busy walmart, and it beckoned to her. It called her name. "Micaela…Micaela…" But nay, nay. I refused to purchase the shirt unless I received an immediate agreement from her to overcome all of her anti-mowing excuses and help with the menial tasks of yard work that awaited us when we got home. Begrudgingly, she agreed. She really wanted Bob Marley.
So we checked out and made our way merrily to our house. Oh, and she tried to get out of mowing. It was too cold! And it was too windy! And she had homework, and did I really want her to flunk her freshman year of high school just so she could mow the grass IN THE COLD? "Why yes, now that you mention it, yes I believe I do," I answered with an evil mom-grin.
So out came the mower. And after a short lesson on how to actually turn the mower on and what not to run over (like bicycles and trash and her feet), she was on her way.
And about 15 minutes later, I looked up from the flower bed I was lining to notice that apparently while I was busy keeping weeds at bay, a giant flock of aliens had landed in our yard and carved out the most brilliantly intricate crop circles I had ever seen.
Ok, I haven't seen all that many crop circles in person. None, really. But I'm pretty sure I witnessed some in our yard yesterday. The teenager, the one who is supposed to start DRIVING soon (albeit with an adult in the car), does not seem to be able to WALK in a straight line. While our neighbors' lawns were looking neatly manicured with nice, straight lines, ours looked like something of a cross between a corn maze and a semi-intricate crop circle. The little green men from Mars would be proud.
See our new lawn look below. I'm pretty sure Micaela has a future as a greenscaper for a prestigious golf course somewhere…or as a groundskeeper for an upscale crack-production neighborhood.
And if you are planning on being on the road in the next year or so, you might want to go ahead and get yourself a prescription for some anti-anxiety meds. She is about to be unleashed upon ye!
And for the record, if this was an attempt at getting herself fired from her newly acquired mowing job, it did not work. She is still gainfully employed as the mower. We may forever be known as the house with the crookedest mowing lines in the neighborhood, but let it be known that they were done by the teenager with the self-diagnosed deadly grass allergy.

By Senfuka SamuelProject Officer, WRA Uganda
|A section of participants during the sharing meeting at Buziga Country Resort
One of the powerful aspects which keep alliances vibrant, growing and strong is networking, sharing, and learning from one another hence breaking down isolation and creating principled solidarity. In January 2011, WRA Uganda had a unique opportunity of hosting two different organizations in the pursuit of working closely together to exchange information and experiences, share problems and challenges and co-operates to find workable solutions and engage in common actions for safe motherhood.
On 23rd January 2011 WRA Kenya visited WRA Uganda for an opportunity to share experiences and learn from WRA Uganda engagement of the youth in contributing towards improving maternal and neonatal health. The WRA Kenya team was led by Ms Angela Nguku, Founder and National Coordinator in company of two youthful maternal health champions from Nairobi. Mr. Kazungu Matano and Mr. Phelix Odiwuor. The youth champions are both celebrities/popular figures in Kenya in the area of comedy, Radio and TV presentation.
The visit gave a platform for the Ugandan youth to share their experiences about activities and strategies they have been involved in to promote safe motherhood. These majorly included Convoy to Kampala, East African Caravan and the Pre- African Union Youth Summit, Young Maternal Health Advocates competition. The youth shared their experiences, successes, challenges and lessons learnt from these activities and strategies employed such as the media, music, dance and drama, poetry, mock debate, video and film shows among others.
The youth testified that their involvement has not only contributed to improving maternal health but also impacted on their lives individually in terms of building their confidence to communicate and advocate, learnt new life skills like dance and drama. "My first experience with WRA Uganda was to visit Kabale district because I had never gone to the place before. But when I reached Kabale things changed and felt touched by what I found women going through and this changed my mind," shared Gertrude Kayaga, a youth member. Gertrude further added that she was very poor at dance and drama, but greatly improved by learning from her colleagues. "I have learnt how to advocate and present myself. My involvement as a youth has enabled me to meet people I wouldn't have ever met in life," she excitedly shared.
On the other hand, Mr. Felix shared that he pondered when he was chosen to be a maternal health champion. "I did not realize its importance at first but later found that bringing men on board is strategic and has a great trickledown effect," Said Felix. He promised to use the lessons learnt from Uganda youth convoy to organize a bigger one in Kenya.
Mr. Kazungu Matano added that they are planning to use their popularity to disseminate maternal health information through bill boards.
Angela noted that we need to make maternal health an East African agenda because the situation is worse across the region. WRA Kenya will invite WRA Uganda youth to share their experience in Kenya during their planned youth convoy because our mission is to unify different people for maternal health cause.
The biggest lesson learnt was in order to effectively engage the youth, it is important to reach them where they are. Taking activities to where they love such as beaches, schools and make events that appeal to them like music concerts, games, drama. This motivates them to keep them going and have fun.
Mr. Senfuka Samuel, Project Officer WRA Uganda in the closing remarks underscored harnessing the power of partnership as WRA family and reinforce one another. "We should continue to mobilize the power of partnership because the strength of the individual alliance may vary but our collective strengths is considerable," Senfuka remarked.
In the same spirit WRA Uganda held a sharing meeting with KiBO Foundation. The meeting was held on 01st February 2011 at WRA Uganda offices with the aim of exploring ways of working together in promoting safe motherhood. KiBO Foundation is a social enterprise organization focusing on empowering the youth with various life skills and community service programmes. WRA Uganda together with the youth and KiBO Foundation proposed joint near future action plans to be considered and plan around them.

Owner's Stories: Tom Ligouri
As a kid, Tom Ligouri watched "Route 66" and dreamed of driving a Corvette of his own. In 1969, he got his chance and the car has by his side ever since.
Tom was just 21 when he picked up his LeMans Blue convertible at a dealership in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. It came equipped with a black vinyl hardtop, black leather interior, a 350/350 engine, and close-ratio manual transmission. "It was gorgeous," he recalled.
Waiting until 1969 wasn't easy. He was tempted by the '68 models, but his dad - a heavy-equipment mechanic -advised him against buying a first-year model. And in hindsight, his dad was right. The first C3 was slammed by critics for excessive styling, increased bulk and a carryover platform. 1969 was a good fit for Ligouri, and he's never looked back.
"It's been loyal to me, and never left me stranded," he said. "It's been a good friend."
40 years, a family and 92,000 miles later, the Corvette still shines. Ligouri says mechanically, it runs like "Swiss watch" and the original clutch is still like new thanks to a fair amount of TLC from Ligouri. He hasn't driven it regularly for years, and he still only takes it out once a week "for some exercise."
"I'm very particular about where the car goes," he explained. "Usually I don't even get out of the car. It's been pampered its entire life."
And coming back to it every week, after driving a four-cylinder car for work, was a genuine thrill.
"To get into a Corvette after driving so slow is such a thrill."
The car also stayed by his side through his divorce - one of the only things he was able to keep. It was something he could turn to as a way to escape the problems in his life.
"It was loyal to me, more than anyone I know. Even my ex-wife," he said.
And even though he considers himself a shy person, he still appreciates the attention being a Corvette owner can bring. He recalled one incident when he and his then-wife went to a restaurant in the Keys to watch the sunset. The entire kitchen staff emptied into the parking lot - to check out the car instead.
"I always drive with the top down. What's the point of a convertible otherwise?" he said. "I always get thumbs up from people; I'm proud of it."

Provocative cable news shows may get all the headlines, but a Poynter Institute analysis finds that Americans overwhelmingly view local TV news rather than their cable TV counterparts. Media writer James Warren used Chicago as a benchmark and found:
The power and potency of local news endures, perhaps all the more so in a fragmented digital age. It's a reality generally missed by media reporters.

EDM artist, Kaskade, is a big fan of Christmas music.
And to prove it, here is his superb re-mix of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas". The track has that old school holiday feel that we love mixed with some deep Kaskade rhythms.
"Did this remix in 2005 and always break it back out for the Holiday Season," says Kaskade on SoundCloud.
Kaskade (aka Ryan Raddon) rose to prominence alongside producers deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner during the revival of American progressive house in late 2008-early 2009.
His style is mostly bassline minimal, although he occasionally likes to add sudden very abrasive leads and breaks.
Kaskade has released seven studio albums, scored nine Top 10 hits on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart, created chart-topping remixes for everyone from Lady Gaga to Beyoncé, appeared at all the major summer festivals, and has performed between 150 and 200 headlining shows a year for the last 10 years, building a name for himself as an innovator of the EDM scene.
Kaskade grew up in the Chicago suburbs and was strongly impacted by the house music scene that developed in that city. Following stints spinning throughout college and in A&R at OM Records, he began working on his own music.
His most recent release, Fire & Ice, is a unique two-disc set. The Fire disc contains 10 original songs geared firmly toward the dancefloor, while on the Ice disc, Kaskade delivers the perfect down-tempo, post-club experience by remixing all ten songs. Both discs showcase the musical versatility that has characterized his work ever since he began writing his own songs.
This year, Kaskade headlined at the Ultra Music Festival, coming on before Armin van Buuren Sunday night. He also headlined opposite Radiohead at the 2012 Coachella Valley Music Festival.

"Back to School Safety Month" Tips
With summer coming to a close, kids everywhere will soon be heading off to school, and many parents will be concerned about sending their child off to school without them. Furthermore, for many parents this will be the first time. While children get to school in different ways, if they're not close enough to walk, the yellow school bus is even safer than the family car. However, getting off and on the school bus is where the true risk of injury comes in.
Following are tips for parents and other caregivers to keep their kids safe in regard to: walking safety, bicycle safety and most of all, school bus safety:
Walking Safety
1. Teach kids to always look left, right, and then left again before crossing a street.
2. Keep to a sidewalk and crosswalk to be visible to drivers.
3. Have your child walk with an adult or with a group of children whenever possible.
Bicycle Safety
1. Be certain the helmet and the bike are the right fit.
2. Before every ride, check the following ABC's of bike safety:
– Air
– Brakes
– Chain
3.When crossing the street with a bike, have your child walk the bike across when it is safe to do so.
School Bus Safety
1. The greatest danger involving school buses isn't riding a bus: it's the school bus stop. Be sure there's six feet (three big steps) between your child and the curb.
2. Teach your child about the danger zone "10 feet in front of, behind, and on each side of the bus.
Be sure your kids know the above key safety "rules" before they set foot in school this fall, since they will help keep them safe every day. No matter whether they're walking, biking, or riding to school, now's a great time to talk to kids about all three of these activities, since they will give them "best safety practices" they need to know.
