Our strategy
Address complex natural resource and climate change adaptation issues, with a focus on increasing resiliency in the face of drought and other external shocks.
The context
Poverty is widespread. Frequent drought, unpredictable harvests and sporadic conflicts put families and rural traditions at risk. Millions are still in urgent need of assistance after the worst drought the region has seen for 60 years.
Our work
- Emergency response: Treating malnourished children with mobile health units, distributing water, vaccinating livestock, and providing work rebuilding community assets
- Agriculture & Food: Improving crop yields and income generation of pastoral and farming households
- Water: Building reservoirs and improving wells in drought-prone communities
- Women & Gender: Providing scholarships for girls to continue in secondary school and vocational training to their mothers to generate more income

Ethiopia: A nomadic life inspires mobile health work September 24, 2012
Mohamed Shariff Ali ("Mali") works around the clock these days overseeing Mercy Corps health and resilience programs in Ethiopia. But when he was growing up, he remembers life revolving around three things: the animals, the weather and the seasons.
Ethiopia: One year later, helping children survive in the Horn of Africa July 25, 2012
You might hear it called a "slow onset" emergency because, unlike the sudden strike of an earthquake, drought builds gradually. But don't bother telling that to the mothers whose children are hanging on by a thread; slow isn't the word they would choose. Grueling, they might say. Nerve-wracking.
Ethiopia: Women transform small loans into progress and purpose May 17, 2012
Like clockwork, every time I visit the Addis Ababa, Ethiopia-based Women in Self Employment (WISE) organization, my very first impressions are of the wonderful hospitality of the Ethiopian people.
Ethiopia: Rebuilding a community water source May 8, 2012
Emergency response program manager Kaja Wislinska speaks to community members who are repairing a pond too damaged to hold water. It is now a working water source for the 400 households in Ada Olaa village.
Ethiopia: Dowries to degrees: An education for Ethiopia's young women March 8, 2012
Mercy Corps is helping girls in one of Ethiopia's most remote regions explore a future full of new possibilities by providing them with scholarships to complete secondary school.
Ethiopia: Grain storage bags make a big impact for Ethiopia's farmers January 27, 2012
Ethiopia: A simple solution makes a big impact for Ethiopia's farming families January 27, 2012
When drought hits and families are struggling to survive, the solutions don't always have to be complicated or expensive. As I learnt from our team in Ethiopia last year, something as simple as a sack can mean the difference between hunger and happiness for a farming family.
Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia: Horn of Africa crisis update January 26, 2012
Ethiopia: Just being women puts them at risk December 30, 2011
In many places around the world, women have less visibility, power and status in their communities than do men — an imbalance that makes women more vulnerable to threats, coercion and abuse. Violence against women can be sexual, physical, emotional or economic.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition review: classic reborn
A woman in Spain made headlines when she "restored" a 19th century art fresco of Jesus. While good-intended, the amateurish result was hardly recognizable. Messing with a classic can go horribly wrong if you don't know what you are doing, something I recalled as I started to review Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. Changing a beloved game invites increased scrutiny from fans, even more so when adding to it.
Although publisher Beamdog is a newcomer to the gaming landscape, many on the team helped lovingly craft the original RPG as part of BioWare back in 1998. It's clear that they've managed to keep the classic--this time coupled with the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion--intact.
Beamdog did not mess with the original's story or art; it is a remastered vision for today's higher resolutions and bigger screens. Barring tweaks to the basic character and menu screens, there are otherwise no noticeable modifications in the gameplay or classic isometric look of the original. The AI can still be brutal and you'll still have to quick save often. Good news for fans, indeed.
Cutscenes have been modified to offer a bit more of an artistic comic-book style, but they neither add or detract from the overall goal of imparting the basic story. The game also combines the best mechanics, kits and items utilized in Baldur's Gate 2 and the Throne of Bhaal expansion to make a more complete experience. Still using the Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition rule-set, players can now start the game as a wider variety of specialized characters, such as a sorcerer or archer, instead of just the generic base classes. You can also use the Tab key to highlight hidden areas, a welcome addition for the hard-to-find caches of goodies.
The success of BG:EE can be measured by how well its new content integrates into the experience. The monk Rasaad, wild mage Neera, and Blackguard Dorn are now part of the game, each with their own quest and backstory. I had all three in my party at one time or another, and their abilities only enhance what was already a strong and varied cast of characters. It is a testament to Beamdog's understanding of the spirit of the original game that makes these characters meld so nicely into the overall experience.
A new standalone combat arena known as the Black Pits proves to be a worthwhile addition to the game. Using six characters, players face off against an array of foes thrown at you by the drow Baeloth. As with other horde modes, the premise is thin: you have been kidnapped and only by winning these battles can you earn your freedom. Being able to quickly test strategies and builds against tough groups of opponents in this standalone mode is appreciated, but otherwise leaves little reason to come back once you have waded through all 15 fights once.
BG:EE does have a few blemishes. I had an occasional crash to desktop while in the Black Pits, and pathfinding still can be a bit odd, with characters getting hung up on trees or taking the long way to a battle instead of taking a more direct route. I was also frustrated by ranged characters swapping to melee weapons when they ran out of ammo in one slot, instead of automatically switching to a second full ammo slot, especially mages.
In the end, though, the game is still Baldur's Gate--a great RPG with new content and characters that hold true to the spirit and style of the original. The game is what the name implies: a truly enhanced version of a classic game.
This Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition review was based on a digital PC press build provided by the publisher. Direct IP multiplayer could not be tested because of limited distribution of the press build. Cross-platform play also could not be tested as the iOS version has been delayed pending Apple's approval. The game launches today on PC.

Happy 4th of July Everyone!
Today in between the fireworks and hot dogs, I want you guys to check out this amazing website! I thought today (our nation's birthday) would be the perfect day to tell you about this apparel company Aphillyated Apparel! You all know that I'm a Philly girl and I love to rep my city! And yes fellas....they have a ton of stuff for you too :)
Here's my take:
The company is the brainchild of brothers- Nicholas & Vincent Sannuti. It's true urban fabulousness, there's hoodies, t-shirts, and tanks. Tons of Philly celebs like Jimmy Rollins and Questlove are rocking this apparel line. Everything is reasonably priced! T-shirts will run you $22 and the hoodies/sweatshirts range from 35 and up.
Now let's start off with my favorites things for the fellas! I love the Philly Baller hoodies for the guys...I have to get one for the hubby, since he is a basketball fanatic! The Ben Franklin Jammin' T-shirt is awesome too, especially the green and black one! Oh and who doesn't need a Rocky Statue t-shirt?! Finally my absolute favorite item for the guys is the Ben Franklin Bridge T-shirt in the black with red and white detailing. This shirt will look awesome with anything, a pair of nice dark jeans or camouflage cargo shorts!
Oh Ladies....check out my pics to the right! Clearly you can tell I'm obsessed with these shirts LOL! I think I own just about every style! In these photos I'm rocking my "Knock Out" shirt and the "Philly Skyline." I also have the Ben Jammin' tank and the LOVE v-neck shirt both look great with a pair of denim cut-offs or skinny jeans! Oh and I forgot to mention---all the LOVE items have the names of all the Philly neighborhoods! Seriously guys, go check out this site! The guys also tell me they are working on opening a store in the near future.
Have a great holiday and let's celebrate the birthplace of our nation..PHILADELPHIA!
Xoxo :)

"Wound RN Rates TOPS"
Being a certified wound nurse...this stuff is the best I've used from snakebites, lacerations, exposed bone & tendon wounds...on my horses & my family...I've used hundreds of products in over 20 yrs...horseowners should have 3 things in their first aid kits...1)Banixx, betadine ointment & Granulex!!!
"Awesome stuff!!"
This product is awesome for any fungus or cuts!! We have a paint horse that has Scratches really bad every spring and this product cleared it right up without having to do as much painful scrubbing. Another horse we have cut her leg while out to pasture and this product is working great to help it heal. We love that Banixx is just like the other product everyone is using but at half the cost! Highly recommend everyone try it.
"Love it"
I use it on my horse's feet whenever a little thrush starts showing up. It is gone within a couple of days!
"Works great on thrush"
I have been keeping this on hand and using on my horses who develop thrush. Last year I rescued an old gelding who had rain rot, and it cleared up great.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with twins and I am feeling huge! I think at this point I'm as big or close to as big as I ever got with Mia. I am going to have to go out and get some new maternity shirts in the next size up pretty soon.
So far this pregnancy hasn't been too bad. It's been different and I've been more uncomfortable, but there haven't been any serious issues. I am hoping it stays that way. I don't want to have these babies early. And I don't want to go on bed rest.
My doctor says that he won't put me on bed rest unless there is really something wrong because he says bed rest can lead to other problems, mainly blood clots. So I am going to keep going the way I have been until I'm told otherwise. I am taking it easier than I normally would though to make sure things continue to go smoothly.
Dr. Keegan, my OB said that we'll have ultrasounds every 3 to 4 weeks maybe more as we get closer to meeting our babies. These ultrasounds are to keep track of the babies' weight. If they detect Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), which is one twin stealing blood and nutrients from the other so one twin is significantly bigger than the other, they have to take the twins early to try to save them both. They also want to keep track of how the twins are growing to determine the best time to do the c-section because they don't want to do it too early if everything is going smoothly.
Dr. Keegan doesn't want to schedule the c-section any earlier than 37 or 38 weeks even though he's pretty confident I'll go into labor before then. On average twins arrive between 35 and 36 weeks. It sounds so far away! I can't imagine how much bigger I will be 10 weeks from now, but the longer the twins bake the better.

Slow Cooked Pork Belly
Grub is now open for lunch on weekday 11am - 3pm
For full review and photos, click HEREThe last time I came to GRUB was about 11 months ago for dinner. I am back at GRUB again for the weekend brunch. Located at Bishan Park, it is actually quite rare to have such dining place surrounded by beautiful greenery. GRUB still adopts a non reservation policy and hence one still needs to take their chance and queue up for a seat if you want to dine at GRUB. The good news is GRUB is now opened for lunch Tuesday to Friday from 11am to 3pm.Kick starting the weekend brunch is the Truffled Egg Cocotte ($7) which the soft boiled eggs are perfumed with truffle and crispy parma ham served with toasted focaccia at the side. I called it a fancy interpretation of our local favourite of soft boiled eggs and toast.For me truffle fries is already too mainstream. I applauded GRUB for not going down the path but introduced theMentaiko Fries ($9) on their menu instead. Topped with nori seaweed, the mentaiko aioli sauce goes with the fries very well. This is really addictive.The French Toast ($12) at GRUB comes with in a combination of sweet and savoury. The french toast is drizzled with maple syrup and topped with a garlic thyme pork sausage, freshly cut strawberries and sour cream. I am not a big fan of such combination but it seems like the younger generations are more adventurous with their taste buds.Looking for a more substantial brunch, how about GRUB Double Cheeseburger ($18) with Monterey Jack cheese? The 100% freshly minced beef patty was juicy and flavourful. The melted flowy cheese simply melted my heart as I love my burger to be very cheesy and messy. The beef patty was also juicy, moist and flavoursome.I tried the Slow Cooked Pork Belly ($17) during my previous visit and I have enjoyed it. GRUB has since made some improvement to the dish. Gone is the potato mash drenched in a mango sauce and cherry tomato salsa. This is substituted with sweet potato mash which is cleaner in presentation, better colour contrast and still giving the dish that sweet element to complement the meaty taste. The sou vide pork belly used to be pan fried to a golden brown but now it is lightly seared allowing the flavoursome and succulent pork belly to standout more. By the way, this dish is only available for dinner.New in the menu is the Sakura Ebi Pasta ($17). The linguine is served with sakura ebi, prawns and comes with a hint of mentaiko. The new creation is a good change from the classic tomato and cream base sauce. The sakura ebi gave the pasta a lift in both flavour and texture. I actually went back a second time for this dish but it turned out that the garlic taste was a bit stronger than previous covering the sweetness of sakura ebi. I think it lacked a bit of consistency but it still tasted as good. However I still prefer the version that allows the sweetness of the sakura ebi to shine. The Sakura Ebi Pasta is available for both lunch and dinner menu only.Read More24 May 2014 12:42 AM

Tips from Honeybee Gardens:
Here are some general rules for how long to keep cosmetic items after they have been opened for the first time:
Think of your make up a bit like you do your food. If it smells weird, develops a film, or has a mold-green tint to it, it's gone bad and needs to be tossed out.
Using clean brushes and sponges will help lengthen the life of your cosmetics. Be sure and wash or replace your applicators frequently.
A Bit Of History
Honeybee Gardens was created in 1995 by author and herbalist Melissa J. Hertzler. Years of herbal study prompted Ms. Hertzler to create natural personal care products for her and her family. What began as kitchen cosmetics soon turned into a profitable enterprise. Honeybee Gardens products are now distributed in the US by such companies as Frontier Natural Products Co-op, Lotus Light, Mountain Peoples Warehouse, All Natural Distributors and Select Nutrition/UNFI. You will find Honeybee Gardens products in health food stores, pharmacies, on-line stores, herb shops, specialty and gift stores.
Natural is Better
Honeybee Gardens products are created entirely of natural materials. You can actually pronounce our ingredients! They reuse and recycle as much as possible and, perhaps most importantly, DO NOT test ANY of our products on animals (those are strict orders from our dachshund 'Ginger', ten pussycats, 'Pekoe' the lovebird, 'Tortuga' the turtle and 'Dim Sum' the Chinese hamster)!
They take great pride in providing customers with the finest herbal products and customer service. They sincerely welcome comments and opinions, and are available to help with any questions. So try their all-natural herbal body care products and experience nature's supremacy.
Honeybee Gardens Mission
Since 1995, Honeybee Gardens, Inc. has operated under one simple concept, "Create pure, all-natural bath and body care products made from only the finest organic ingredients, offer them at a reasonable price, and treat every customer like a friend." Along the way, they've managed to do some things they're very proud of. For starters, under no circumstances do they do animal testing, their packaging is made from 100% recyclable materials, and their raw material suppliers practice responsible harvesting.
But Honeybee Gardens, Inc. also takes pride in the communities in which they operate. They contract with a retail order fulfillment center that provides jobs to the physically challenged. One of their contract packagers provides jobs to mentally challenged individuals. Honeybee Garden's soap company in Western Pennsylvania provides sample and production overruns to area charities and shelters for abused women and children, as well as the homeless. Profits on sales from their new "Cherokee" lipstick color go to support Native American festivals and charities. And since Honeybee Gardens, Inc. contracts with manufacturing facilities across the entire US, their growth (roughly 300% annually for the past three years) helps provide jobs and supports local economies nationwide.
Honeybee Gardens is not your typical cosmetics company. They don't make products that follow the hottest new trends. They don't make false advertising claims or try to convince customers that their products can perform miracles. All they do is make really good products made from really good ingredients that really work. That's it. They try to satisfy the real needs of real people. Oh yeah, they have really great customer service too.
Their GuaranteeHoneybee Gardens stand by our products. They use natural, wholesome ingredients, and we want customers to be satisfied with what they purchase from Honeybee Gardens.
DisclaimerPeople can be allergic to anything. Honeybee Gardens recommends that you patch test your skin the first time you use any products. If any adverse reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately. Their body care products are for external use only. No medical claims are implied in this catalog, and the information herein is not intended be used for self diagnosis or self treatment of any condition.
Patch Test?It's always a good idea to test your skin to check for a reaction from any new products that you are going to use on your skin. Apply a small amount of the new product to clean skin on the inside of your elbow. Cover with a bandage and leave for 24 hours. If a rash or redness appears, do not use this product. If any of our products get into your eyes, flush with water immediately. If any irritation occurs, consult a physician immediately. Do not take any products internally.

Sheriff's Office investigating alleged school assault
The incident happened about 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Jackson Middle School.
The victim told officers he was sitting on the bleachers in the gym, holding his girlfriend's hand when her stepfather walked up to him and told him to stop touching her, according to the report.
The suspect began to push the 14-year-old victim into the bleachers and choke him with his hands, according to the report.
An officer spoke to a third party who confirmed the victim's story and also obtained statements from school staff.
The officer observed no injuries on the victim. The suspect and his stepdaughter reportedly left the scene before officers arrived.
The report did not indicate what was going on at the school on a Saturday afternoon.

Beautiful I ordered 12 of these for gifts to put a gift inside. They were all so beautiful. One ornament, the train, broke when I opened it to place the gift inside. It was a problem with production because you could see where the glue removed the latch when opened. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of the other 11 ornaments. December 31, 2013
Very disappointed with the quality I have given these surprise ornaments to my sons for the last 10 years and this is the first time I have had to return one due to poor quality/craftsmanship. I actually returned a total of 3 ornaments out of 6 that I ordered due to misalignment of parts, incomplete paint and general poor quality. I ultimately acquired the three that I needed but having to return bad merchandise not once but twice was a lot of aggravation on top of the regular holiday madness. December 28, 2013
A clever way to give cash I have gotten similar ornaments in the past. This product is larger inside the box so it was much easier to get money in it. December 27, 2013
Fun Little Gift Have a special 17 yo guy with a custom truck that is exactly the same as this delightful ornament. Made a great surprise with a $$ folded in the trunk that opens. December 27, 2013
Christmas ornaments I just love these ceramic ornaments . Have ordered them for 2 years. There are 5 grandchildren. Always put a gift of money inside. They can then hang them of their trees. So year after year they can start their own collection. Hopefully someday they will take them with them. And be reminded of Christmas many years ago! December 21, 2013
Porcelain Ornaments Bought these as 'Stocking Stuffers' for my 'kids'~ both actual grown-ups but still my 'kids'. Will add to the 'allure' & value by adding a bank crisp $50 bill to each. Will be fun to see if kids notice/figure out that these ornaments actually open & may contain a hidden treasure. The choices of ornament design were perfect for me! I think my boys will really like them &, hopefulIy, I can use them for many years to come with new/different treasures added each year. December 21, 2013
Just darling Very nice containers for small jewelry, or other little treasures. December 18, 2013
Best of the Bunch We ordered these ornaments from three different places so that grandma could give a different and unique one to each of the grandchildren. The ornaments from the Improvements catalog were by far the best of the three. They come in a little crushed velvet bag (the others did not). They were the largest of the three companies (so grandma could add a treat inside) and the highest quality. Would definitely purchase again! December 17, 2013
Porcelain Opening Ornaments Perfect for little grand kids!! Glad you gave me chance to comment. December 17, 2013
Christmas Box Ornament Darling Ornament even nicer in person. All of the ornaments of this type I've ordered for the last 2-3 years have been very nice quality and a delightful gift to give and receive. December 17, 2013
Great little gifts I purchased 7 of the porcelain ornaments and each is very well made, easy to open, and the finish is perfect. I had one that had the ribbon hanger broken, I called and had a replacement within a week. Their customer service can't be beat. These are gifts for our cousins, and I will put a $10.00 inside each one. What a great gift, and it will be fun to watch when they open them.. Thank you Improvements. We will definitely purchase from you again. December 8, 2013
Porcelain Ornaments are great I chose these ornaments for my grandchildren who are in their teens. I will use them to put money in and since I get them an ornament every year, they will do double duty. These ornaments are very pretty and priced right. I will put the date on the bottoms with a gold pen. Thank you, Improvements! December 7, 2013
Tea ornament Very nice product, size was bigger then I expected but pleased with item. Nice porcelain finish. December 5, 2013
Cute but not durable You have to be very careful when you open each of the boxes. The metal frame is not adequately glued to the body of the ornament. December 4, 2013
Great little gift ornament This Christmas ornament is very pretty and colorful and is an ideal way to give money, candy, etc. It is well made and looks to be of good quality. Was very pleased when I received it in the mail. December 4, 2013
Gift Boxes Out of the 12 boxes I ordered - two were defective. One didn't have the hinge attached, the other the paint was chipping. Overall they are great 'little' gifts -- this is the 4th year I've purchased them because of the wide selection of themes. November 27, 2013
25thgift I get these every year for my kids. They love trying to figure out which one is new for the year on the tree and even better to see what's inside. November 23, 2013
The ornaments were great presents I wish they had more styles, but these are very cute on my tree or as presents. Last year they had the football ones, but those are gone now. I wish they would bring back all the styles. November 23, 2013
Great Package Embellishments I bake Christmas cookies for many of my friends and will attach the Cookie Ornament to the package as an embellishment. I've been told that everyone really loves my cookies so the ornament will be a reminder too. The ornaments were well packed, arrived timely and they look wonderful. I would definitely order again. November 22, 2013
ornaments very handsomely done and will make great stocking stuffers!!! November 21, 2013
Took A While It was just like Christmas, opening every box to check them. I am very happy with most and was surprised that the sizes were so different. The people who are getting them will be thrilled. November 19, 2013
The perfect "keepsake" and gift receptacle.... My children and grandchildren are older and live about 1,000 miles away...and individually gift shopping for them is extremely difficult...who has what?...who wants what?...who needs what? For several years I have purchased your hinged ornaments...and rolled up $$$ and placed them inside for their Christmas gifts! They love them! I love them! This makes the perfect present!...something they want, something they need, the right size, the right color...and a keepsake tree ornament to boot! Thank you! November 19, 2013
beautiful items They will look good hanging on a tree or placed elsewhere for decorations. Some of the catches are very hard to open, and some seem to barely catch--the only flaw. November 12, 2013
"An excellent rememberance" This has been my choice for remembering younger grandchildren and great grandchildren...the opening special for each recipient and easy to ship. November 12, 2013
starting a new Christmas tradition So excited about using these boxes to surprise my family with special little gifts! November 12, 2013
Nice ornaments for the price These ornaments are very cute and different. I give out approximately 40 ornaments each year and these are always unique. Fortunately, they seem to come out with a few new styles each year. Usually they come in an individual plain box, but this year they came in a little sack, with a draw string, just like Santa's sack! (And still boxed.) Worth it for the money. November 12, 2013

Comments On Oct 12, 2012:Great product to change your tires quickly work awesome I recommend buying 3 to make the job simple and easy and if your worried about scratching your rims use rim protectors because you should never use bare metal against painted rims and if you scratch them your doing something wrong. These are very good levers especially for the price you should never bend one as long as you make sure you break the bead on the tire and keep the tire in the drop center of the rim, Remember tire lube is your friend and don't use soap as this can cause the tire to spin on the rim and destroy your tubes and don't use them as pry bars or a hammer these are a specialty tool with clear purpose use the right tool for the right job simple as that. -Off road racer with 10 years experience and currently apprenticing to be a journeyman motorcycle mechanic.

UConn junior Shabazz Napier will be in the starting lineup today for the season finale against Providence.
Napier, the team's leading scorer, has been sidelined the last two games with a right foot injury. He hasn't practiced since last week.
Freshman Omar Calhoun (sore right wrist) will sit out today's game. He's struggled in the last two games, converting just 2-of-21 field goal attempts.
The starting lineup looks like this: Napier, Ryan Boatright, R.J. Evans, DeAndre Daniels and Phil Nolan.
It is Nolan's first career start. A 6-foot-9 freshman forward, he's replacing injured Tyler Olander in the starting lineup.
Olander is on crutches. He's expected to have surgery on his left foot in a couple of weeks. He'll need about six to eight weeks of rehab after that.
More later after the game.

Yesterday's 9.2" of snow at O'Hare not only ranks as the 4th biggest March calendar day snowfall on record, but the first 6" snow since the Groundhog's Day Blizzard of 2011.
March snowfall is not that uncommon for northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana. In Chicago, the normal March snowfall is 5.6 inches and the seasonal normal is 36.7 inches. So about 15 percent of Chicago's snow falls in March.
In Chicago, there have been 45 snow storms that produced at least 10 inches of snow, since snowfall records began in 1886. Six of them, or 13 percent, were in March. The largest March snowstorm in Chicago history was 19.2 inches on March 25 and 26, 1930. It was the 5th biggest snowstorm in Chicago history.
We have come a long way in a short period of time in terms of adding to our snowfall totals for the season. The total snowfall of this season on January 31st was only 3.5". Since then, it's been a completely different ball game.
February went down as the 16th snowiest on record for Chicago with 16.1" of snow.
So far this March has produced 9.9" of snow. That's the most snowfall in March since 11.2" of snow fell in March of 2002.
The forecast calls for much warmer and wetter weather by the weekend. The 8-14 day outlook (March 14th-20th) calls for below normal temperatures with near normal precipitation.
A recap of yesterday's snowstorm around the Chicago area.

Lately, I've been drinking a lot of water. I'm trying to break free from the diet soda. I know you can drink too much water. So is drinking the eight glasses of water a day the right thing to do? Is drinking water as beneficial as what I've been told by so many? I found these myths both a little depressing and confusing.
I found this article on Netdoctor and you can read more about it.

Hi guys,
My OB & MFM told me if I lose weight appox 40-50lbs I would reduce my risk of getting PE in my second pregnancy. I know that obesity is a risk factor especially after not having PE run in the family and no other additional risk factors. My doctors are thinking if I lose the weight, I will have a better chance at having a healthy non-PE pregnacy, so I am on a mission to drop the weight before we get pregnant with baby #2. I am not a terribly heavy woman - size 14 but he said if I can get down to a healthy BMI, I would have less of a chance developing PE again. I know that there are women who are at a healthy weight and still develop PE, but my doc's concerns are more around being a higher risk for PE because of my weight.
My question is... Did any of you ladies, lose weight before getting pregnant and then not have PE again? I was just curious to find out if someone did lose the weight and have a better outcome because they were at a healthier weight.
Thanks so much, Ladies!!

Recently, a popular blogger on Tumblr had their account deleted because they used copyrighted images.
As a guy who does a fair bit of blogging, and is more than a little familiar with Copyright law, I thought I'd help my fellow bloggers learn how to use images without violating said law.
WARNING! I am not an attorney! I am simply a guy who has done quite a bit of research in Copyright law due to my work as a Copywriter. I've saved my clients tens of thousands of dollars in lawsuits by keeping them from violating the law!
If you're going to use photos in your blog, you need to have Creative Commons bookmarked in your favorite browser.
Meet the website that will save your @$$
Once you're there, type in the name of whatever it is you're searching for into the search window. Then, select the spot from which you wish to grab photos.
I prefer Wikimedia Commons as they tend to have the best stuff. Flickr 's pretty decent too.
For the purpose of this exercise, I'm going to search for a photo of one of my favorite new bands, Ghost (B.C.).
Once I find a photo that I like, I click it and scroll down a bit to check the Permissions as displayed below:
According to the Permissions on this photo, I can share it (post it on my blog) and remix it (add after-effects, crop it, etc.).
It also says that I must include attribution (credit the creator of the photo) and share alike (be willing to share my version of the image with others).
If the photo you want doesn't give you permission to share it, you can't use it. Period.
Once you're sure you have permission to post the photo on you blog, do it. Once it's there, you need to post attribution.
See where it says "Use This File on the Web" to the right of the photo?
Click that.
A pop-up will appear. Inside that pop-up you'll see several lines of info. The one you're looking for is "Attribution".
Now, just copy and paste the text of that "Attribution" below your photo on your blog, and you're all set. I also link back to the source of the photo.
PHOTO CREDIT: By Scott Penner (Flickr: Papa Emeritus II - Coachella 2013) [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
See how easy that was?
Now you might be wondering, "What's the worst that could happen if I just post whatever photos I want?"
Well, if you use Tumblr or some other social networking/blogging type site, you can have your account deleted.
If you're a blogger for a for-profit company like a radio station, television station, or some other media outlet, your company can get anything from a Cease and Desist Letter to a lawsuit costing them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Play it safe. Respect the Copyrights of photographers online.
Also, check out Ghost (B.C.). They're awesome.
If you want to learn more about the ins and outs of U.S. Copyright Law, Fair Use and the like, YouTube has some excellent videos on the subject:
You should really read this piece regarding what is and what isn't Fair Use .
I also highly recommend the book "Getting Permission ".
Thanks for reading!
In addition to being pretty savvy with U.S. Copyright Law, Terry Stevens is a professional radio advertising copywriter and radio host for Midwest Communications in Wausau, Wisconsin.

On Wednesday of this week, we here at Midwest Communications - Duluth hosted a toy and gift drive for The Boys and Girls Club of The Northland. And once again, it was a resounding success thanks to our awesome listeners. But this opportunity also provided something at the homefront that I think we can all learn from. A lesson in giving.
My fiance' has a four year old son, and we're trying to teach him some of the lessons of life. Like the lesson of giving to people who my otherwise have to do without. Now remember - he's FOUR!!
We went to the store on Tuesday and went straight to the toy department explaining that yes we were buying toys, but that they were for other kids and not him. We talked about the fact that some little boys and girls just don't have toys because maybe their parents lost their job, or whatever reason for there being no money for toys and games.
He understood finally, and was one of the first at the event with a bag of toys and gifts for other kids.
Lesson learned......
Oh, and we had cheerleaders too.....which didn't hurt!

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
