*WARNING: This is a long post
Pooping and peeing is your life when you have kids. The moment your sweet one is born, you will start your journey to being a potty expert. You will cheer for poop and pray for enough pees. Last week I read a blog post on The View From Up Here about Potty Training and realized I really should write one too. Check out her blog post for more tips and ideas.
We have 4, almost 5 little ones, so I would say Billy and I have had our fair share of "potty training" experience. I like to put "potty training" in quotes because we don't really "potty train", we just switch our kids right over to the toilet. All of our kids have been different ages for potty training. Payton was a little after 2 years, Tyson was almost 3 years old, Demi was 18 months and Kameron was newly 2 years old. With Kameron I definitely could have done a few months sooner, but I was having my mommy issues and didn't want to let go : )
First I'll go through essentials that are needed to get your kiddo ready and then I'll explain how it all works. Now remember, what works for us, works for us! It may not not work for you, it may not be your style and that's totally fine. But if you want some helpful hints that have worked for our 4 VERY different kiddos, keep reading : )
1. Big kid undies: I am NOT a fan of character anything, but for undies I go with whatever their favorite cartoon character or movie is. You may want to bring them with you to buy them and that's a great idea, but usually I start with my set first and once we have an established routine, they get to pick out the second pack!
2. Time: We have very little time and our weekdays are go go go. I have to choose a Saturday that we aren't going anywhere and just know that's the day we aren't leaving. If you have other kids that you think will make the situation a little crazy, see if you can get a sitter. I just keep mine home because they are helpful and love taking their sibling to the bathroom.
3. Liquids, liquids, liquids: And snacks. Make sure you have plenty of drinks for your kiddo to consume. We are a water and milk kind of family, but I'll get gatorade or apple juice to help in this situation.
4. Treat/Reward: This is optional, but lots of families like to give their kiddo a treat each time they go potty. Or they use a reward chart, which is also a great option. We choose to use praise and big celebrations, to connect good feelings with going potty in the toilet. It's easier for us to give praise then keep treats on hand, especially at night : )
5. Baby Doll: Really just get any character your kiddo likes. My girls loves the baby doll, my son we didn't use anything. (I'll explain the baby doll, the timer and the eyedropper in the steps below)
6. Timer: I use my phone and set the timer to go off every 15 minutes
7. Eyedropper/Medicine Syringe: Basically any little thing that will shoot out water.
8. Potty Seat/Stool: Again, optional! We don't use potty seats, but do use a stool. The stool is great to pull over and use to wash hands at the sink too.
important rules to remember
Of course there are no rules when it comes to potty training, but we have some suggestions that I believe are very important to follow.
make sure your child is ready
If your kiddo is not ready, this will not work. Let me repeat, this will not work. Some signs your kiddo is ready!
– They are telling you immediately that they peed/pooped in their diaper.
– They are showing considerable interest in the toilet.
– They are wanting their diaper off right away after going.
– They are having a lot more dry diapers.
My kiddos all loved going into the bathroom with me and saw that me and their siblings wore underwear. I suggest you talk about the toilet often, or they won't even know what it is : )
get yourself mentally ready
Once your kiddo is ready, you need to get yourself ready. Potty training is a BIG milestone. Your baby is growing up and you may not be as ready as they are. I had trouble with the fact that my daughter Kameron was ready so soon. I waited quite a few months to finally let her use the toilet. I wanted her to stay my baby. Most people do not have this problem. They are praying for the day their kiddo is out of diapers : )
do not get/use pullups
You do not need pullups. They are essentially the same thing as a diaper. That will not help your kiddo understand that they need to potty in the toilet. Undies only from here on out! (Yes, even at night!)
skip the training toilet
Our kids all went straight to the big toilet and were excited to be like mommy, daddy and their siblings. However, it can be VERY scary for some children. In that case I would definitely use a little seat for your child. You would never want them to be scared to go potty.
steps for the big day
Ok so now you have all your items and you know your child is ready! Your day is about to be very repetitive, but hey, it's worth it.
Step 1: In the morning you will take your doll/toy and pretend they need to go potty. Take your dropper and hide it behind the toy's back. With your child watching show the toy pee on the ground (you will use dropper to push water out on to ground). Now your acting skills come into play. Act overly concerned and horrified that the toy peed on the ground!
"Oh my goodness! Dolly peed on the floor! Are we supposed to pee on the floor?"
Hopefully your child will say no, but if not you will.
"No we NEVER pee on the floor! We pee in the toilet!"
Run to the nearby toilet with your child and put the doll/toy on the toilet. Tell the doll/toy that next time they need to pee on the toilet.
Go through scenario again, but have the doll/toy actually pee in the toilet this time. We did step one with our daughters, but not with our son. He was not having it! You'll know what's best for your kiddo.
Step 2: Now you need to ask your child if they want to go potty on the toilet. IF they are ready, they will say yes! In your own words explain that once we are ready to use the toilet we get to use underwear! Hopefully before this moment you have already explained what underwear is and your child has seen you wear them. Now you can show your child the pack of underwear that you got them. They will be super excited and you will put the undies on them. I like to make a big show of announcing that my child is done with diapers and throwing the diaper away. This is an amazing milestone and it's important to celebrate!
Some families prefer to go commando all day because if there is an accident, they don't want wet undies. I don't mind washing a few pairs and I think it helps to have undies on if an accident happens. You can point out how they are all wet and how it feels yucky.
Step 3 – Step 99: Lol, but really! Now comes the repetitive part.
– Take your child to the toilet and help them get on it. If they pee great, if not that's fine.
– Set timer for 15 minutes
– When timer goes off, take your child to the toilet and have them try again.
– Make sure your child is consuming lots of liquids.
– If your child has an accident, don't yell at them! Just say "oh no, we go potty on the toilet", get new undies and move on.
– When your child does go potty, celebrate! This may include giving them a treat or sticker, it's up to you and what works for your child.
– Have fun! You're done with diapers!
night time tips
– Do not put a pullup on at night. Your child is ONLY in undies now.
– There will be an accident, usually. While our older 2 never wet the bed, our younger two definitely did the first 2-3 nights.
– Put a rubber sheet on their mattress because they are not easy to clean.
– Get ready for lots of laundry. Accidents may occur for 5+ nights, but they will stop, I promise! Our doctor said to me, "Would you rather clean the sheets for 6 nights or potty train with pull ups for a year?" We chose the first option.
– Many families choose to wake their child up halfway through the night to have them use the bathroom. We did not try that method and did have some accidents, but it's whatever works for you!
in general reminders
– If your child is not getting the hang of it, they may not be ready. Take a few weeks or months and try again later. This should not be overwhelmingly stressful to you or your child.
– Like I said above, there will be accidents (most likely). Some kids never have a single accident, others do. The accidents usually occur at night or in the car. I know some people like to bring a little toilet in the car in case of an emergency. We choose not to do this. We would rather pull into a store to go.
– ALWAYS remind your child to use the restroom before your leave the house or wherever you are with a bathroom. I continue to remind my child for a few weeks. They are kids, they are busy, they need reminders.
– You do not want your child holding their pee forever. Another good reason to remind them or tell them to just go try in the bathroom. Some kids will realize they can hold it forever and that is just not healthy!
– Some kids do not love the feeling of pooping, but they will adjust. In the beginning I would sit with some of our kids for a good 15 minutes just waiting for the poop to come. When they finally go they will be SO excited. CELEBRATE!
Some children may have bladder issues, sensory issues etc. In those cases I would consult with your pediatrician or occupational therapist for their tips and help.
Again, this is what works for OUR family. Every family is different and every parent has a different philosophy for different situations. I think it is SO important to remember that every single child is different. Try not to let yourself compare to another child or family. Your kiddo is perfect the way they are and will use the toilet when they are good and ready!
Feel free to ask any questions or leave me more tips in the comments. With one more on the way, we still have some more "training" to do!

Good Friday saw the Portsmouth Dreadnoughts Women's Team gather for their Awards meal following the end of the Sapphire Series. Each player was congratulated for their participation that led the Dreadnoughts to 2nd place in the South & East Division.
The coaches had five awards to give out, alongside players' player chosen by the team.
Overall MVP was awarded to Iiona Sennett. As starting quarterback, Iiona led the Dreadnoughts throughout the season. IIona shredded defences with her pinpoint accuracy and was a key reason for the teams success. She also added "The thing I love about Dreadnoughts is the support and praise that the coaches and team give to one another. Getting MVP is really awesome."
Offensive MVP was given to WR Lucy Moss. Scoring the most TDs during Sapphire, Lucy made an outstanding contribution to the Offense via her running the ball and as an outside threat at receiver.
Defensive MVP was awarded to DB Ashleigh Madgwick. Ashleigh's talent for the game and reliability made this as easy choice for Defensive MVP. She suffered with injuries throughout but never let that impact her performance on the field.
Most Improved was awarded to RB Izzie Clay. Izzie developed throughout Sapphire at an extraordinary pace, and by the end of it was a key part of the offense.
Best Rookie was given to DL Emma Harvey. Emma's contribution to defense did not go unrecognised as she threatened Centers at D Line, constantly getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Last but by no means least, Players' Player was awarded to RB Marie Leather. Marie stood out in every game, and it did not go unnoticed from the rest of the players. She was a threat to score a touchdown every time she touched the ball, combining a balance of speed and strength to terrify opposing defenses.

Hughes sweeps hat trick glory
Conor Hughes was on top form in the Brisca F2 Stock Cars where he bagged the honours in both the heats as well as the Gold Cup final. Hughes has had something of a roller coaster season, showing bursts of fantastic pace followed by spells of rotten luck which has contributed to his blue roof status in the current period. The Flying Antrim man open his winning account for the evening with a run away victory ahead of Bradley McKinstry in heat one, new comer Martin Conlon looked as though he could do the business in heat two but Hughes had other ideas blasting through to record his second win. Star Man Chris Kincaid tried his level best to unsettle Hughes in the Gold Cup showdown but it wasn't to be with Hughes registering another comfortable victory, Kincaid was the gallant runner up with Dean McCrory in third. Kincaid was the clear winner of the Grand National with Willie Murray in second and McKinstry third.
Three in the bag for Daniel
Ballymena man Daniel Rodgers went through the meeting undefeated in the Group 2 Lightning Rods bagging the coveted King of Nutts Corner title in the process. The recent returnee highlighted his blistering pace with wins in both the qualifying heats which parked him on pole position for the title race. As the green flag dropped it was clear that Rodgers had everything under control and he went on to take the flag ahead of Nigel Doherty and Jason Clyde.
Antony denies Shannon trio of wins.
Young lady racer Shannon Morrow showed the boys the way round Nutts Corner Raceway on Wednesday night when she collected the silverware in both the heats. Shannon went into the final looking for the perfect hat trick but it wasn't to be as a flat tyre ruled the Glenarm lass out of contention. Morrow's troubles was a welcome sight for Antony Kincaid and it wasn't long before he stamped his authority on proceedings. Kincaid took the win well clear Joshua McKinstry and former Ninja Kart star Cole McFall.
McCammon to the double
There was another disappointing showing of only four 2L Saloons in attendance which soon become three after the Irish Champion Ryan Wrights night ended with engine problems on 1 lap into the first heat. Newcomer to the formula Robert Mawhinney took the win in heat one before Stuart McCammon from Armagh dominated the remainder of the meeting with wins in the remaining heat and the final.
We have a championship bonanza at our next meeting on Sunday 20th September 2015 @ 2.00pm with the BriSCA F2 Stock Cars (2015 Irish Closed Championship), 2L Saloon Stock Cars ( 2015 Irish Closed Championship), 1300 Stock Cars ( Irish Open Championship), Euro Stocks (Golden Helmet), Stock Rods (2015 NCR Stadium Championship) and Junior F2's on all the busy race schedule.

The plants are starting to bloom! Pictured above is one of our tree peonies. The blooms are so big! Then there is our lungwort with the wild ginger behind it. Next is our False Indigo in her pretty shade of yellow. We also have 2 purple ones. Another tree peoney is next. This one was only about 3 inches tall when I bought it about 5 years ago. It is a very lovely shade of purple. I can't forget our new yellow iris. It really is a nice compliment to the orchid coloered ones behind it. Then our fushia, now if only the hummingbirds would find it. Every year we buy a new piece of art, etc for the gardens. This year is our lovely hummingbird. I just love it! We went out again to a nursery we like about 2 hours away from us. We did manage to find a few new plants, but it is getting harder to find things that we don't already have or that will fit into any of our gardens. But of course if we do like a plant ( and I don't know of many that we don't like... LOL) we always find a place for it. I really need to go out and count all the different plants we have. We don't have many duplicates. We have at least 45 daylillies and 35 Hostas but none that are the excact same plant. So that is 80 plants alone with just these 2 families of plants. Have I said that I LOVE plants?? We still have to plant the ones we bought on saturday, but at 90 degrees I will wait until the weekend when it is suppose to be cooler. Anyway this is a small look at our gardens. Hugs, Teresa

I LOVE the first paeony, wonderful colour! Here in Finland you have to protect them so much from cold weather, that I don't have them in my garden, just the normal ones, I have around 40 of them in my garden :) In addition to the paeonies, I love roses, irises, daylilies, lilys and hostas :)ReplyDelete

Every time I see a cake design I like I make a note. I have a long list saved on my iPad. When I am ready to make a cake I check my list to find the decoration I will try next. For my birthday I chose this design because it was similar to my husband's cake but had a new twist to it. The real change was in the design made by the colors.

(Post about the season 2 premiere is here, and the post about S2E2 is here)
You may have noticed that I didn't blog about the last episode "Just Say No" this past week. That's because I felt like there wasn't any cautionary tale out of it besides DON'T DO COKE, SERIOUSLY.
If you totally were bummed out by that, here's this awesome Spotify playlist I found that features every single song featured on the show in chronological order.
Back to this #13 "It's A Shame About Ray" episode. I have to say this was the most emotionally intense one so far. I cried during the subway scene because it was SO REAL. And I was depressed for about an hour after the show.
I knew that Jessa and Thomas-John's marriage was doomed from the beginning but their fight was so vicious, and to witness Jessa, who seems to walk through life with a "eh, whatever ha!" attitude, break down so completely was heartbreaking. Hindsight is always 20-20 and I felt that she really thought this could work and it was the best thing to happen to her ever in her life, but now, she has to start all over again, and that sucks.
ANYWAY, onto the "lessons":
- Don't invite people to a party whom you know would have potential conflicts– Come on, Hannah. Exes don't mix well especially with the current partner involved. Anyone with half a brain can tell there are still a lot of remaining feelings between Marnie and Charlie, and his new girlfriend is very volatile.
- Don't invite unwanted people to events "out of politeness"- It's your own goddamn party and they might just show up with your permission.
- The more you explain about a lie, the less likely people are to believe it– I love you, Shosh, but you are not good at pretending. Stick to one-liner excuses only!
- It's important to master the art of backhanded compliments and subtle insults– Don't lie. You enjoyed watching the catty exchange between Marnie and Charlie's GF, too. (It reminded me of the reading scene in Pride & Prejudice where Lizzie artfully made it clear to Mr. Darcy that Caroline Bingley is a pretentious cow.) Occasionally in life, we need to throw some shade to stand up for ourselves, something, or someone else. Remember that in an argument, the person who appears less mad is the winner, so work on your poker face and thinking quick on your feet to create incognito offenses such as "So where did you get your headband?" as in because that's the only interesting thing about you.
- Choose conversation topics wisely and appropriately for the occasion, time, place, and participants– When in doubt, avoid the following because they're controversial: sex, drugs, violence, religion, politics, and the right way to raise children. Jessa and Hannah covered most of these at the dinner tables.
- There's no clear universally-acknowledged definition of how a person suddenly becomes an "adult" so stop saying that because it makes you sound immature– We live in a world of teen moms, man-childs, and middle-aged women with Princess Syndrome. No one really knows what "being an adult" means anymore and that can be liberating. However, Hannah, just because you can cook for a small group of people does not make you a grown up, but yes, you should definitely learn on how to write a check properly.
- Cohabitating with a girlfriend or boyfriend is a serious step to take and it's a decision that should be discussed properly and made together.- Oh Ray. Moving in with someone should never be out of convenience. It's a huge progress in a relationship. It shouldn't be done JUST to save money.
- No one can tell you what you need to do for yourself. It's your life. No one can decide for you because you're the one who has to live it. – I really do relate to how Type A Marnie is. Go read some books on quarterlife crisis, honey.
- Just like a lot of people end up with the types of partners they never thought they would like, it is entirely possible that you fall in love with a "loser."– Don't forget that Ray is Shoshanna's first serious boyfriend. She's figuring out this whole dating thing as she goes.
10. In times of need, people would still stand up for those who used to be close but have hurt or betrayed them. – After Charlie kissed Marnie and she told him she's seeing Jonathan Booth, Charlie called her a cunt in front of Hannah who swiftly came to her defense even though she fully acknowledges that they're both jerks.
11. It's tempting to lash out and verbally abuse someone as much as possible in a heated argument, but remember that physical wounds heal eventually yet words remain hurtful a lot longer.– Jessa was offended by Thomas-John and his mom so she decided to just say the meanest things possible out of pure spite. This only made him want to escalate as well and called her "a whore with bad work ethic." I'm sure years later, they wouldn't even remember how much the alimony was, but they sure as hell can recall those hateful remarks.
12. Most likely not a good idea to date a guy who pays prostitutes for their services often. – Oh Thomas-John. True story: I actually went on one horrendous date with a man who turned out to be a frequent customer of hookers unknowingly. Yes, in real life. When I heard that after the fact through the grapevine, I was like "Oh that makes so much sense!"
Ugh, I'm so over Charlie and Marnie. Aren't you?

SLATE: How Ze Frank became a Web video star
"YouTube hadn't really caught on. There were a handful of aggressive video blogs. No one was harnessing the conversational energy." That was the genius insight: Ze conceived of his project as a conversation. Most writing and art says, "Look at me." Ze said, "Talk to me."
I'm sorry, but that's a steaming pile of bullshit. Videoblogging was about conversation from the start. Ian Mills spent a year interacting with his audience via The 05 Project (original site offline). Ryan Hodson posted No Answers in Jan. 2005, inviting people to enter into a conversation with her about religion. Michael Verdi's Vlog Anarchy lit a firestorm of conversation and video responses. The list goes on and on.
Ze Frank is a talented guy, and he took audience interaction to new heights. Earth sandwich is freaking brilliant. But Ze Frank did not invent the concept of "harnessing conversational energy" in a videoblog. I'd argue nobody did. It's simply a natural outgrowth of our human desire to communicate.

Absolutely. I'm not sure who invented conversations through art, but I assume it happened in some cave on a wall somewhere in Sumaria.

The sooner Vloggers move beyond who was first, the better.
When I was in that crowd that was always the second topic behind the first, which was what is a Vlog.
Ya know?

and it's totally weird that i wrote that
because it's exactly what jay was doing in this video way back when:
i think it's ok to have this conversation and talk about the history of things. why not? there were people before ze frank and way before youtube and i think that's important. there was some really potent stuff happening around here that led to the creation of both YT and Ze's show... i think it's good to go look at those things and not forget. hell it's all on our archives eh?
Posted by: ryanne at Apr 2, 2007 10:45:14 AM
i definitely want to acknowledge our history and fact-check hyperbole like this.
not so interested in arguing about the details endlessly which i think is what ZuDfunck was probably referring to. i feel like we're beyond that though, hopefully.
Posted by: chuck at Apr 2, 2007 5:36:11 PM
I was just wondering if someone could please tell me definitively what a vlog is......
Posted by: Tim at Apr 6, 2007 9:19:13 PM
it all makes me wish a few things...
wish i'd done more with audience participation, followed along more and seen ze frank earlier, wish i'd gotten some of the places apparently ze is going! but alas, i'd chosen a different path...
i thought Falco invented rap music?

NEW DELHI, Nov 10 (Agencies): The GST Council on Friday decided to cut tax rate on a wide range of daily-use items - from chewing gums to detergents -- to 18 percent while keeping only 50 items, mostly demerit, sin and luxury goods in top 28 percent bracket, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi said.The all-powerful Council pruned the list of items attracting the top 28 percent tax rate to just 50 from 227 previously. In effect, the Council, in its 23rd meet today, cut rates on 177 goods."There were 227 items in the 28 percent slab. The fitment committee had recommended that it should be pruned to 62 items. But the GST Council has further pruned 12 more items," Sushil Modi told reporters on the sidelines of the ongoing Council meeting.He said all types of chewing gum, chocolates, preparation for facial make-up, shaving and after-shave items, shampoo deodorants, washing powder detergent and granite and marble will attract lower 18 percent tax rate."There was unanimity that in 28 percent category there should be only sin and demerit goods.So, today the GST Council took a historic decision, that in the 28 percent slab there will be only 50 items and the remaining items have been brought down to 18 percent," he said.Paints and cement have been retained in the 28 percent tax bracket, he said. "Luxury goods like washing machines and air conditioners have been retained at 28 percent."The decision taken by the GST Council will have a revenue implication of Rs 20,000 crore annually.The GoM had earlier suggested slashing tax rate to 1 percent for manufacturers and restaurants opting for the scheme from 2 percent and 5 percent, respectively.It was in favour of doing away with the tax rate distinction between AC and non-AC restaurants, those which are not covered under the composition scheme and tax them at a flat 12 percent.Currently, non-AC restaurants are taxed at 18 percent.It also suggested that eating out at hotels that have room tariff of more than Rs 7,500 should attract a uniform 18 percent rate instead of any separate category for 5-star hotel, which currently falls under the 28 percent bracket.

Deadly – Circus with Bite.October 26, 2010 at 2:13 am | Posted in Show Review | Leave a comment
Tags: circus, Deadly, Deb Pope, Downstage, Rodrigo Osis, Theatre, Virginia Molina
The other night, I went to see Downstage and Awkward's joint production of Deadly. Deb Pope revives a work she created and performed 10 years ago.
There isn't much physical theatre in Wellington, and Deb is clearly building on the momentum/interest created by Adagio. This is a piece for a more mature audience – there is no swearing, but some of the violent interplay between the two performers was a bit disturbing.
Deadly, is short for the Seven Deadly Sins. The performers take us through them, interacting with each other, a swinging trapeze, a static trapeze, and a circus pole.
I liked greed the most: Virginia Molina swings backwards and forwards hanging by the backs of her knees, through a hail of gold leaf; while Rodrigo Osis tries to gather up as much as he can.
The stage is bare; Deb uses light and shadows to frame the various sins.
Not knowling all of the sins, I got lost at times and just admired Osis and Molina's circus skills. Perhaps, the next production could have a prolog – to introduce the sins in order.
Worth going to see.

I went to Inside Out in the weekend, put on by Sweden's Cirkus Cirkör (circus troupe), at the Opera House.
Great show, with live music provided by Irya's Playground (alos from Sweden).
Even though it was on stage, there was a trained goldfish and a flying horse ! – go see it to see how its is done.
The custome written music works well with the journey through life theme of the show, and all of the circus techniques on display was well worked in.
There was great static trapeze act; an amazing juggler; great tumbling; and a man inside a ring.
I haven't seen juggling of this standard in the flesh; at times: he had 5 clubs in the air; 8-maybe-9 thuds; and 7-maybe-8 rings ! Just a delight to watch his compusre and hand speed.
The man in a roye-cyr, might best be described as a german wheel with only one ring ! Yet doing man of the tricks you do with a two ring wheel. It was a true ring – there were no hand holds. Just incredible.
Weber Brothers Circus – La JesterMay 6, 2008 at 1:21 am | Posted in Show Review | Leave a comment

I went to the Weber Brothers Circus 2008 (touring) show.
Circus Hanger
New Zealand
This time, unlike two years ago, there were no workshops for children – no flying trapeze and no tightrope walkers. This time I actually noticed the midway, as I went into the big-top tent: a teacup ride, a stall with rotating clown figure, popcorn-&-hotdog stand and people selling light toys.
The show has a theme: the Black Knight has stolen the laugther from the Kingdom and the Jester is charged by the king to get it back! As the Jester journeys through his quest, we are introduced to the various acts. Only there is a problem: the main act obviously comes from Asian and they never quite get with the theme! Still, while the theme does not go exactly as well as it could, the individal acts weren't too bad.
I wonder if the Asian troup, when they were training to be circus perfomers, ever thought they would end up on the farside of the world.
I enjoyed boo-ing, along with everyone else, the Black Knight whenever he rode into the arena. The Asians were impressive- tissu, tumbling, double poi, chair balancing, and juggle using the feet. Good to see some traditional juggling – clubs and rings; I was surprised by how entertaining 3 clubs (then 4 then 5) could be – having got use to Cirque-du-Soleil style juggling.
The slapstick sketch harking back to a much early era of Circus acts – four prisoners in stripped garb, a keystone cop character and a character who was a wife of one of the prisoners – made me think twice. It was based around a traditional vaulting box, and everyone vaulting in clever ways, while the chase took place. When family violence is recognised a major issue for society, maybe the violence in the sketch could have been focussed in different ways, but definitely away from the 'wife'.
The finale was three motocycles riding inside a metal sphere ! The sphere looked like it was three motocycle lengths in diameter. The motocycles did go inverted! I thought the women balancing a a stack of chairs was 'brave', but the young women who got into the sphere while two motocycles orbiting took 'brave' to another level – The riders had leathers and body armour; she had a bikini !
The show was definitely worth the price of admission.
The Weber Brothers Circus website is good enough to offer two experiences – those with dial-up and those with broadband. The broadband version is very garish!!

It was amazing. This seems to be the direction of modern circus: amazing moves woven into dance, the latter all fitting loosely into a theme with appropriate music. These guys danced, sang, played the piano, and did some great acrobats and juggling.
There was a very nice tribute to Fred Astaire – involving skateboards instead of walking canes!
The juggling was low key no showers of 7-9 objects in the air. Instead as people danced about the stage, the chair of basket ball was constantly in motion – just as the ball or chair or person was about to fall to the ground, someone would step up and catch them.
It looked like they could all play the piano and did a solo piece accompanying what every was going on behind them. One of them even sang to the audience, accompanying himself on the guitar!!
The Chinese nolonger have a monoploy on pole aerials. The 'Fingers' did some petty amazing stuff. My pick was the vertical back flick from the pole then back to the pole, and the lady who falls from the top to be caught by her companions – amazing body control and trust!
The acrobats was spectacular. My pick was the standing back tucked somersault, from a position of standing on top of someones raised hands back to the same raised hands! There was also a nice slow semi-comic stretch and flexibility solo – by the same woman who fell from the pole.
These guys are worth seeing – everytime.
The only question is: where were the other two fingers ? there were only five performers!
They were so popular, that they opened the 'Gods' – the Gallery – in the Opera House. They had to: my session was near full to capacity – well over 1000 people.
Cirque Ici : performance artMarch 14, 2008 at 8:30 pm | Posted in Play Review | 2 Comments

I went to see Cirque Ici at the Arts Festival. I was expecting a modern circus show; I got something quite different – but just as entertaining.
Film Hanger
New Zealand
This is a one-man play about … a circus performance. What a circus though – there are animals, machines, jugggling, balancing and knife swallowing.
The first Act is the animal tamer, but being a one-man play – there are no animals. Instead there is a series of fur covered geometric shapes that pop open and shut, swallow the animal tamer, and a wire cylinder that splits open and sits up when commaned to ! There is the tubular animal – a 4-meter long metal rod that after bending to the handlers' will spirals back-and-forth and sits up!
The middle Acts blurred together: counter rotating wheels sharing a common axle, rolling itself with candles across the ciecle; meat cleaver tossing and knife swallowing – at least it seemed that way; a paper falcon; a metal horse with many legs; a human arch; and a tame whirlwind!
The finale was a spiral, made of 2″ by 8″ by 120″ interlocking planks and some rope. The rope was used to stop the planks from popping out, the latest piece was always 'inserted' will the performer stood on th end of the previous plank ! By the time he was finished, he was able to hand by his finger tips – and his feet did not touch the ground.
It was fitting that at the other end of Frank Kitts Park stood the Len Lye water sculpture. Surely, if the spirit of the late Len was present he would have approved heartily.
All of the acts looked like they were choreographed by da Vinci for Marceau Marcel- there was a huge amount of science on display in a Renassance kind of way and Johann did not speak at all, though he did make rasping sounds for emphasis.
The horse was an upside down bed of nails, with close 1-metre long nails. It supported Johann's weight, and it moved across the – round – stage when he rocked backwards and forwards when setted atop of it.
The trained bird that returned to his hand, was a very well folded paper aeroplane!
The human arch was an archway made from a set of encylopedias, with Johann acting as the keystone. The showmanship as he stacked the books was superb – keeping the audience gripped, watching, what might otherwise have been a mundane task.
The whirlwind was just some smoke held captive by four planar blowers.
While I have classified the performance as a one-man play, I might also have classified it as performance art. If my lounge was big enough, and it was for sale, I would have tried to purchase the wooden spiral.
This work – with a commentary -could be presented to school children to educate them about physics.

5 Safest Standalone vs Doorway Baby Bouncer Activity Jumpers 2015
Babies have short attention spans and therefore often require changes in activity to keep them entertained, occupied, and learning.
I always enjoyed having a few different stations in my house to put my baby into when she would get bored with one or the other.
A baby jumper is a great way to give your baby some movement, entertainment, and education all at the same time.
Stationary baby jumpers are more of activity centers than they are actual jumpers.
You might confuse them with the kind that hang in a doorway and allow your baby to get more physical motion.
However, stationary jumpers often come with a range of activities to keep your baby occupied.
These are made with support posts that include springs to give your baby a bit of motion, though not a lot. The seat is suspended with these comfort springs.
Which Kind of Jumper is Best for You Standalone vs. Doorway?
It is true that doorway jumpers give your baby a lot more bounce and can be more physically engaging.
However, standalone jumpers have been proven to be safer.
With a standalone jumper you do not need to worry about your baby swinging or bouncing into a door frame.
Also, not having your baby in the middle of the doorway will make it easier for people to get into and out of the room.
Stationary jumpers also come with toys whereas doorway jumpers do not.
Stationary jumpers are more costly than doorway jumpers, however it has always been worth it to me.
Finding the Right Features for Baby Bouncers
I highly recommend finding a stationary jumper that has different height adjustments so your baby can continue to enjoy it as she grows.
I don't think I've ever found one that doesn't come with a washable or a removable seat cover.
Even though cloth covers have to be put in the washing machine, I tend to prefer those because they are softer against baby's skin than those made of vinyl or plastic.
Make sure you find a jumper to that has spring covers. These will protect your baby's little fingers from getting pinched.
Many of them fold down for easier storage and portability. If you have a small space or travel a lot, this is a feature that is essential for you.
Stationary jumpers that offer more toys with lights and sounds will cost you more than those that don't.
However, it is nice to have an excess of toys so you can remove some and then replace them with others when your child gets bored.
Make sure to check the weight restrictions so you know if it is safe for your child. Most of them have limits of around 25 pounds.
Make sure to inspect each toy that comes on your baby jumper.
Though most manufacturers make these devices to be safe, there can often be small design flaws that could harm your baby.
For instance, on one activity center we had for our baby, there was one toy that would bend back and forth.
However, if she was bending it with one hand and had her other wrapped around the stem of that toy, it would pinch her skin.
Would you recommend getting a activity bouncer?
Weighing the Advantages & Disadvantages of Activity Jumpers
Toys like this help your baby develop their motor skills while they identify sounds, as well as stimulating their brains.
When a child is born the nerve cells in their brain are not very well connected.
Over the first year of life the brain gets input from all five of their senses.
This stimulation causes their nerve cells to multiply and form many different connections with other nerve cells.
Visual stimulation is probably the most crucial, although when you add touch stimulation as well as audio, you are helping your baby's brain develop.
Baby jumpers also help develop leg movement. It gives them an opportunity to mimic others that they see in an upright position.
This kind of toy allows you to get some things done. I always enjoyed putting my baby in her jumper while why did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.
They are often fairly lightweight and very portable so you can take them from room to room.
Stationary jumpers are also considered to be safer than walkers because there are no wheels that allow your child to move from room to room on their own and possibly unsupervised.
Keep in mind that it is best to have your baby in this type of equipment for only about 30 minutes max. Too long can put stress on their joints and bones that is not healthy.
Since your baby is in an upright position, if you have them too close to other surfaces, they could reach items that you do not want them to get into.
If you put your baby in it when they are too young there will be too much stress put on their neck muscles.
Buying the Right Baby Jumper for You
This Fisher-Price Luv U Zoo Jumperoo is full of bright colors, music, and sounds.
I like being able to turn off all of the sounds and lights when needed.
This device can also be removed from the base so it is easier for transportation.
It is also really lightweight at only 15 pounds.
You might like this Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper that gives your baby 12 different activities to keep him occupied.
I like that the seat rotates 360°which seems to be my baby's favorite - turning around and around in a circle.
There are six classical music melodies with three different modes of play and parents have access to the volume control.
It comes with non-skid feet and a fold down design which can easily fit under a bed.
This Evenflo Exersaucer Triple Fun Active Learning Center is less of a jumper and more of an activity center.
There are 11 different toys that are accompanied with pleasant music to help your baby develop.
There are also three different positions so you get the best fit for your baby as she grows.
You might also like this Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Jumperoo that features a 360° rotating seat and tends to get a bit more bounce than some of the others I've tried.
It also comes with various toys, lights, sounds, and music.
The Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Jumperoo It comes with a farm theme with a shape sorting garden, a flip book, rattling toys, and a horse that plays peekaboo.
It also has an adjustable seat and folds down for easier storage.

THE STATE prosecutor slammed Joseph A. De Francis last week for giving $12,000 in other people's names to Gov. Parris N. Glendening's campaign effort in 1994.
De Francis, the majority owner of the Pimlico and Laurel racecourses, admits that he sent the money to his grandmother, aunt and uncle -- all residents of Buffalo, N.Y. -- to cover their contributions to Glendening and his running mate, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
He maintains, however, that he did not believe it was illegal, as asserted by State Prosecutor Stephen Montanarelli in the document charging DeFrancis with one misdemeanor count of violating state election law.

Many personal injury cases settle before trial. View a sample listing of settlements
Gym Class Accident - $200,000
Following the liability verdict, the case settled for $200,000.00. The jury
returned a 100% liability verdict against the defendants in this matter
after a two day trial in Supreme Court, Kings County.
Plaintiff, a female 16 year old junior at Edward R. Murrow High School in
Brooklyn, sustained a left elbow injury during wrestling class.Plaintiff had
signed up for the wrestling class along with another female student. On the
day of the accident, the other female student was late for school, so the
wrestling instructor matched Plaintiff up with a heavier, stronger, male
student. Plaintiff was positioned on top of the male student and instructed
to try and take him down, which she could not do. The gym teacher then
instructed them to switch positions, at which time the male student took
Plaintiff down very quickly and forcefully, slamming her left elbow into the
mat.Plaintiff sustained a nerve injury to her left elbow called a cubital
tunnel syndrome.
John Bonina, Jr. successfully argued to the jury that
pairing a female wrestling student with a larger, stronger, male student
created a mismatch, and was thus negligent. He also defeated the defendants'
claims that Plaintiff assumed the risks involved in wrestling by enrolling
in the gym class in the first place. Following the liability verdict, this
case settled for $200,000.00.
Snow & Ice - Pedestrian - Trimalleolar Fracture of Left Ankle - $150,000

she stepped on water and ice, slipping and sustaining a trimalleolar
fracture of her left ankle.She developed traumatic arthritis, and her
orthopedic surgeon recommended future corrective surgery.Deborah Trerotola
demonstrated to the jury that plaintiff fell due to a broken curb, which was
obscured by a puddle of water that had accumulated by the sewer. Ms.
Trerotola proved that the defendant City had prior written notice of the
defective curb, as well as the sewer backups. She successfully argued that
the plaintiff was unable to see the broken curb because of the accumulation
of water by the overflowing sewer.

Well, here's the first big irony of a month's worth of advice on balancing your work and life. I'm actually 2 weeks late posting my first article, so off-whack has August thrown me.
I don't know how it works in other parts of the world, but in the UK we effectively, but very secretly close down for the summer. In France, it's customary for most businesses to close in August so everyone can go on holiday at the same time. In the UK, we pretend this isn't the case and soldier on regardless; pretending to be in the office when we're actually on the beach.
I have no idea why we do this. It is a terrible way to work.
Earning a living, no matter how meagre, from your creativity is wonderful feeling. But let's not be under any impression that this work is physically or emotionally taxing. We are blessed in ways construction workers and HR manager will never comprehend. Ironically, knowing we are blessed has a tendency to infect our work, making it emotionally and physically taxing.
Let me explain.
If you know you are lucky, you'll do everything possible to hold onto that luck. We all know those talented creatives who can't catch a break. We see waves of graduates grinding through unpaid internships, knowing only too well how precariously our own client base can be built; and destroyed.
So we work hard and we work relentlessly. We say yes to, and over deliver on every job. We work day and night to fulfill the promises we make to our clients. We give more of our talent and our time than is good for us.
The UK's working time directive makes it illegal to work more than 48 hours a week, although we tend, on average to clock up somewhere around 42.5. In France, it's 35 hours while the average American clocks up 47 hours in work a week.
How many of you are thinking, wow only 47 hours? I work double that. Because being your own boss means never having to say Stop Working And Go Home! In a bid to stay solvent, creative entrepreneurs are risking their health to rack up the hours. One study found workers regularly putting in just 3 hours overtime a week raised their likelihood of heart disease by 60%.
It's not just the business owners putting their health at risk. They pass these bad habits onto their employees, who labour under the expectation that they too should tot up these ludicrous hours.
'Pulling an all nighter' has become a badge of honour. A symptom of our apparently need to prove we're as hard core as law, finance or architecture; industries known for their burnout working hours.
But we are not law, we are not finance. We are the creative industries. We're not just founded on creativity, we're nothing without it. Ironic given how long stressful working weeks tend to crush all creativity.
Long days spent staring at a screen, working on a handful of projects for a handful of clients degrades creativity. Chronic stress makes it harder for creative workers to conjure up the big ideas their client base is reliant on. Fewer ideas entice fewer clients, resulting in heightened stress levels. It's a vicious cycle that destroys creative businesses.
A healthy work life balance isn't something we aspire to. It's a skill we must invest in much the same as our Illustration or web development skills. We must learn to, and continually improve our balancing skills. It's not something we do one month and ignore the next. It's as important to a project as the first brief and the final invoice.
This month, only two weeks later than planned, I shall be looking at the ways balance is won and lost in the creative industries.

Just saw in Matt Asay's blog (where he cites this article) that about 24% of all software purchases in the last year were for open source of some kind. Not bad, considering the same IDC report last year noted only 10% of purchases going towards OSS.
People have talked about the "perfect storm" for open source: the recession, the limited options following prolonged M&A in some tech sectors, and the continued maturity of OSS solutions equating to the sharp growth.
I'd like to think it is a little of those things, but also would like to think it is simply the fact that IT decision makers are inspecting open source code, and simply seeing that it is a better deal for the long haul.

The inverted samosa and other Indian jokes
The ancient Sumerians stole humour from the Indians, then the Romans stole it from the Sumerians, and finally the Brits took it from the Romans and, like everything else, they took, they kept it and didn't give it back
More From Opinion »
A common perception among non-Indians and other such foreigners is that Indians, at best, have no sense of humour. At worst, they cannot tolerate anyone who does. This, of course, is a dreadful canard spread by anti-national elements and foreigners. Because, Indians do have a sense of humour—it's just that no one else gets it. It's that sophisticated is what I mean, and I'll prove it to you.
Indeed, jokes may well have begun in India. Around 7,000 years ago. That's because pretty much everything—everything good that is, you can keep your valentine cards—began in India around 7,000 years ago. A year later, the West stole it all. And put our humour in comedy routines. And now their stand-up comedians are making money out of it.
Dreadful business comedy—we should have copyrighted humour. We wouldn't have had to work so hard at our growth rate then, just to keep the lazy West in business. That's economic growth rate. Population's sorted.
Now, there's another canard doing the rounds: apparently—and this is serious stuff, mind you (wars have been fought over less)—the world's first joke was cracked not in India, but in Iraq. Iraqis? Were they even around at the dawn of Indian civilization?
Every Indian knows they stole the idea of ziggurats from India. Because they are basically half-built pyramids (must have run out of sand). And, as every Indian knows, the idea of pyramids was stolen by the Egyptians from the Indian samosa. Inverted, of course (which is also the basis of how we journalists are taught to craft our stories—another idea stolen from India, this time by the dreadful Americans).
At any rate, according to the BBC (that would be the British Broadcasting Corp., what did you expect?), the world's oldest recorded joke caused guffaws and chortles in southern Iraq in 1900 BC (1956 or so Vikram Samvat, the Indian calendar that's 56.7 years ahead of the Gregorian—we have always been ahead of the rest of the world).
The joke goes like this: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap." You may have noticed that the joke basically rests on the concept of a double negative, which clearly was stolen from the ancient Indian Neti Neti (not this, not this).
The ancient Sumerians stole humour from the (even more ancient) Indians, then the Romans stole it from the Sumerians, and finally the Brits took it from the Romans and, like everything else, they took (especially curry), they kept it and didn't give it back.
That is the origin of comedy as we know it now in India. It has come back recycled. And that is what allowed the comedian Tanmay Bhat to poke fun at the diva of yesteryears, Lata Mangeshkar, calling her 5,000 years old.
And at Sachin Tendulkar, by imitating him and comparing him with some Kohli, who is supposed to be an even greater batsman. And so it was entirely understandable that such towering nationalists as film censor board chief Pahlaj Nihalani would tell NDTV this week, "Tanmay Bhat is a repeat offender, he deserves no freedom. He has insulted the mother of music."
And actor Anupam Kher, a supreme Indian nationalist, would tweet, "I am 9 times winner of #BestComicActor. Have a great sense of humor. But This's NOT humor. #Disgusting&Disrespectful"
What a lot of foreigners who have stolen Indian humour don't realize is the subtlety of Indian humour: that in keeping with the finest Indian tradition, both Nihalani and Kher are having you on. They don't mean it, it's a laugh!
So you can't blame them for the fact that leaders of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena party (MNS—Marks and Spencer stole the acronym, the blighters) have filed a police complaint against Bhat. It's all a joke.
You think India is humourless? Sample these two stanzas from The Billy Hawk Calf (Ramgorur Chhana), a very funny poem by Sukumar Ray from his Bengali book Abol Tabol (English translation by Sampurna Chattarji):
The Billy Hawk Calf
Is forbidden to laugh
Crack a joke and he says
'No way, not by half!'
Billy Hawk's nest
Has no room for jest
There laughter is not allowed
Not even as a guest.
As you may have noticed by now, this column does not follow the stolen concept of the Inverted Samosa. Indeed, we have cleverly strewn the where, what, when and how of what you call the inverted pyramid all over this piece. We now know where humour began and when. We know what it looked like way back then (a samosa). And we know how humour was stolen from India.
It's the why that needs figuring out. We are on the job. Keep smiling, have a samosa.

Africa is the last frontier of a plundered planet, as argued by Oxford economist and Africa expert Paul Collier.
When compared with almost all other regions of the world that have already been explored and had much of their resources extracted, Africa is still virgin and so is now receiving greater attention from all regions, especially China.
And yet the emergence of many multinationals from the West and China in Africa has done little to stem Africa's large youth unemployment problem.
Some 60% of Africa's population consists of people aged 15 to 25. This bracket accounts for 45% of Africa's total labour force and unlike other developing regions, Africa, particularly the Sub Saharan region, is growing continuously more youthful. By 2015 this demographic is projected to be at over 75%.
Of critical importance is whether and how this vibrant, energetic and secure source of labour, critical to the strategic economic development of Africa, is currently being tapped. Sadly, the level of economic engagement of African youth is pitiful, leaving many young people dejected and severely underutilised.
Whether the extensive presence of multinationals in Africa generates enough employment for Africans is a debate worth exploring. Youth unemployment in most of African countries, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa stands at around 20%. This percentage grows exponentially when one delves into the nation-to-nation projections of unemployment. Worse still, the situation gets depressing when the poor outlook of rural unemployment is considered.
The multinationals undertaking many major projects in Africa at the moment could do more to absorb local African labour.
Matching skills with work
Various theories have been put forward as to why multinational corporations investing in Africa do very little to employ local Africans. Over 50% of African youth are illiterate and have limited skills required for the emerging business economy. Those with some form of education more often possess irrelevant skills to those demanded in the current labour market.
The young require vocational training to update and acquire new sets of skill to be able to adapt and re-adapt to the ever flexible and constantly changing labour market. Additionally a key focus should target basic knowledge, literacy and lifelong learning skills. Vocational training should be aimed at improving specific skills related to new technologies combined with on-the-job training.
Even when they find employment, young workers are the most vulnerable to layoffs when economic growth falters. This is compounded by the limited attention to job creation by African governments, the youth obsession with unrealistic wage expectations, and negative employer attitudes towards inexperienced young people. Finally there are the pervasive and compounding labour market disadvantages of poverty.
Cracking corruption
The misplaced priorities of the leaderships of many of the governments of Africa, and of the political elites, undermine any sustained effort towards the remedy of youth unemployment. Widespread corruption is concealed by hubris.
For example, in 2009, Transparency International filed a lawsuit accusing Presidents Omar Bongo of Gabon, Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo and Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of the Equatorial Guinea of buying luxury homes with state funds. It was alleged that Nguesso owned 24 estates and was running 112 bank accounts in France. Bongo and his relatives allegedly owned over 30 luxurious estates on the French Riviera and in Paris.
This untrammelled level of greed for personal and private wealth accumulation robs African economies of the impetus to germinate and nurture widespread economic activity.
Finally, in relation to African management of Africa resources and the systematic alienation of Africans from it benefits, Kofi Annan in the African Progress Report 2013, on behalf of the executive team, insisted:
Success will require leadership, transparency, and accountability, too. There is no substitute for public scrutiny in developing effective and equitable policies. African governments must rise to the challenges posed by fiscal policy, tax reform and the development of industrial policies. They must manage their countries' oil, gas and mining resources efficiently and share revenues fairly. We therefore call on African governments to set out a bold national agenda for strengthening transparency and accountability to their citizens. For too long, African governments have been responding to externally driven transparency agendas. They have been following, not leading. And it is time to change this pattern.
In the end, it is Africans' responsibility to manage and address challenges that come with its increasing youthful population. Educate and equip the young with necessary skills required in the current labour market, but most importantly, government leaders and African elites should strive to not only abandon their corrupt ways but also enforce systems that uphold transparency and accountability across the board.
Avoiding Dutch disease
There is in sight an escape for Africa from the tragedy of mass youth unemployment. With its rich natural resources and promising level of economic growth Africa can engage in structural transformation.
Building a framework of education and infrastructure, optimising the revenues from natural resources, and investing them strategically, enhancing agricultural production and promoting economic linkages between the resources sector and the economy as a whole.
As the graph illustrates there need be no inevitability of the Dutch disease as resources wealth wipes out all other forms of economic activity. Used intelligently resources development can encourage other forms of high technology use. Revenues generated from resources can be extensively invested in human capital development, creating further opportunities for business diversification. Over time resources can become less important as a capability economy takes over.
This leap from a resources economy to a capability based economy (which strangely enough Australia is also attempting presently) requires imagination and determination. The tendency to squander the apparently easy profits from resources businesses on consumption must be resisted. These funds need to be invested in the skills and businesses that will provide a future.
African youth, fascinated by the digital world, needs access to it in the form of affordable equipment and broadband access if they are to progress.
There is a future for Africa, and this can be released if the energy, intelligence and idealism of its young people can be given a chance.
