text: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss TLC Program for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss We recognize that each patient is unique, as are her cause(s) for miscarriage. That's why we offer the TLC Program for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL). As one of the few RPL programs in the country, we approach this illness from the perspective of the whole patient using scientifically based evaluation and treatment for recurrent miscarriage. We recognize this is an emotionally trying diagnosis, and we provide compassionate care with the supportive environment necessary to pursue your next pregnancy. We provide a full range of services within the TLC program, including: Evaluation for recurrent pregnancy loss Fertility evaluation Ovulation induction Intrauterine insemination (IUI) In vitro fertilization (IVF) Minimally invasive surgical techniques Genetic testing of miscarriage tissues Preimplantation genetic diagnosis Egg and sperm donation Gestational carrier Mind/Body therapy Definition of recurrent pregnancy loss Miscarriage is the most common complication of pregnancy. While this is a private matter for most, it is quite common, as 15% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Recurrent pregnancy loss, defined as the miscarriage of two or more consecutive clinical pregnancies, impacts up to 5% of all couples. We realize the emotional toll that this diagnosis takes on a couple and we are here to help you achieve a healthy pregnancy. Causes and treatment of recurrent pregnancy loss After a complete evaluation, causes may include the following: genetic, anatomic, immune, blood clotting, hormonal or infectious. There are many causes of RPL, and treatment must be tailored to your specific causes. Even if no known cause is found, treatments are available to increase your chance of successful pregnancy. Our philosophy to recurrent miscarriage involves treating the entire patient. We use an evidence-based approach to medical treatment after testing is completed to improve your prognosis. Medical treatment is prescribed in a supportive environment. In fact, supportive emotional care has been shown to dramatically increase your probability of live birth. Our experienced physicians, embryologists, laboratory personnel and nurses are ready to help you overcome RPL and achieve your dream of having a child. We understand this is an overwhelming process and for this reason have Mind/Body therapy available. Nurse Judy Gay, the director of our mind-body program, has experience both with infertility and RPL to help alleviate your anxiety. This along with frequent monitoring in early pregnancy will help you realize your dream of delivering a healthy baby. Mind/Body program Have you ever wondered "Why does this happen? Does anyone know how I feel?" When you feel lost and do not know where to turn, let us help. We are here to help you find answers for a complicated diagnosis and to help you find your way on your journey to grow your family. Our Mind/Body program will help decrease your stress and calm your mind. Through tools such as meditation, developing coping skills and counseling, we are here to support and guide you. Success with the TLC Program Treatment and evaluation of miscarriages can be an overwhelming process emotionally and physically. Each couple has unique causes for recurrent losses, and therefore the approach to care must be individualized. We are a team of experts here to support you through this complex process. For those facing recurrent miscarriage, having the emotional strength to pursue another pregnancy can be very difficult. However, depending upon your cause of RPL and history of miscarriage, the probability of your next pregnancy resulting in a live birth may be as high as 90%.

The innovative builder Suffolk is planning to open a Smart Lab in Tampa that will help clients visualize construction projects using virtual reality. The construction firm, which already has opened a similar lab in New York City and San Francisco, currently is building the Tampa Smart Lab adjacent to its Channelside office.
"We are looking to open early in 2018, hopefully in January or February," says Josh Christensen, VP for the Suffolk's West Coast Operations in Florida.
The Smart Lab features a virtual reality cave, which simulates what it will be like inside a building that has not been constructed yet. "We call it a lab for a reason. We're testing things," he says. "You don't have to go build in the field to see if you like it."
Models will be technically accurate. "It's a working model, not just a cartoon," Christensen says.
A whole wall will be a touch screen for interactive planning and collaboration. "We used to do with sticky notes back in the day," Christensen explains. "Now you do it all virtually, and all by touching."
Another wall, for data, includes live camera feeds of the jobs.
The company has been relying upon virtual reality goggles, which limits the experience to one or two people instead of about six to a room. "Most people don't love putting the goggles on," he says.
Suffolk is adding an additional 2,200 square feet, 1,500 for the lab, to its office at 615 Channelside Drive, Suite 102. The office, which opened last spring, will now be 6,600 square feet. Cost figures weren't released.
"We're in an existing building, We just took it back to the studs," he explains.
The Smart Lab will primarily be staffed with existing workers.
Suffolk's Smart Labs are expected to facilitate brainstorming in ways that can significantly alter project designs. For the industry, it may mean changing the way buildings are designed and built.
Its emphasis on innovation meshes well with the "entrepreneurial spirit" in Tampa, Christensen says.
"We have some challenging, logistically complex jobs, and it will really help us," he adds.
More Smart Labs are to open in Boston, Miami and Los Angeles on varying schedules.
The national building contractor generates some $2.9 billion in revenue annually serving clients in healthcare, science and technology, education, federal government, gaming, aviation and commercial sectors.

Construction of the new University of Kentucky College of Medicine-Bowling Green campus will be completed in mid-September to welcome the inaugural class of 30 medical students.
The Bowling Green facility is UK's first four-year regional campus to open that will utilize the same curriculum as UK's main campus in Lexington. Dean of the UK College of Medicine Robert DiPaola said building this regional campus will help address the shortage of healthcare workers in Kentucky and across the nation.
"We know that students might choose different specialties and so forth, there is at least a strong desire as we see it in talking to many of these student applicants to want to do primary care and even many of them serve in various communities, some of them even more rural communities," DiPaolo said.
DiPaola said the need for physicians in the state is so urgent that graduates will likely find plenty of opportunity to practice medicine in the south central region. Todd Cheever is the new associate dean at the UK College of Medicine's Bowling Green campus. He said the regional campus will allow the state to train more physicians and provide more accessible healthcare for Kentuckians.
"The thinking is that if folks come to medical school here and they do their training here they'll be more likely to stay in this area and practice medicine," Cheever said.
Cheever said people who wanted to go to medical school but didn't want to leave home in south central Kentucky will now have the opportunity to pursue that career. In 2016 the UK College of Medicine announced plans for regional campuses in Bowling Green, Morehead and Northern Kentucky. The Bowling Green campus is the first one to open and will be a complete medical school program.

I Won't Date a Vegetarian. Does That Make Me a Bad Person?
- Culture
- Life
Just before it falls apart, the sauces and warm juices from the beef patty slide down your chin. You attempt to lick everything up before messily swiping a serviette across your mouth. You force yourself to take your time chewing, both wanting the moment to last and looking forward to the next tender mouthful.
Any meat lover can deeply relate to the religious experience I just described. Few, on the other hand, are able to empathise with the reluctance to enter a romantic relationship with a vegetarian (or vegan) simply as a result of loving meat so much.
"It's just food," these people might say.
"Why should it affect the other more important aspects of a relationship like trust, respect, and loyalty?"
"If you want to be with each other enough, there's nothing you can't overcome."
"Live, love, laugh!"
It's a specific kind of loneliness when you can't dig heartily into the same platter of food with your partner. Not only do you spend a great deal of energy thinking of the 'right' place to eat for each date and accommodating to your partner's needs, this tension is reinforced when the relationship goes through rough times.
At that point, not being interested in the same food can be the sole catalyst to call it quits.
An article on The Guardian, tackling the importance of sharing meals in a relationship, explains, "In every relationship there's a mutual diet that evolves (or doesn't), modified by allergies and preferences and begrudging compromises, and a set of behaviours that accompany it. And inside of all this, a very readable code about who we are to each other, and what kind of unit we become or fail to remain."
Similar tastes in food may not break a relationship. But it does guide and ground a friendship, which then forms the foundation for becoming better lovers.
To them, it's a lofty aspiration to hope that food be as orgasmic as it is filling, and an even more unrealistic one that your partner would find equal joy in the same gastronomical delights you do.
On the other hand, I know many who declare they would never date a vegetarian or vegan because they know they "just won't get along". For them, it's not so much different food preferences, but the impossible moral standards that vegetarians/vegans seem to impress upon the world, that rub them the wrong way.
For instance, a friend shares that an AirBnB host once chided her for digging into a steak by recounting sad stories about slaughtered pigs. This same friend was once pescatarian, and admits that she used to be equally sanctimonious when she adopted that lifestyle.
"Vegetarians are advertising a particular lifestyle: that they are high-maintenance. Their needs require others to bend—even if their philosophy may be a healthy philosophy," says biological anthropologist Dr Helen Fisher.
So, while cutting out meat from one's diet to accommodate a partner may be painful, it's nothing compared to being pressured to re-evaluate how good or bad we are simply for our dietary choices. Our individual relationships with food are highly personal, and it's unlikely that these perspectives would drastically change.
After all, we can't all be saints, and neither do we want to.
For those who believe in addressing the tension between meat lovers and vegetarians/vegans from a philosophical standpoint, perhaps the key is to "treat [vegetarianism/veganism] the way religious traditions treat virtues". In other words, "we should strive to do better by animals, but that doesn't mean we should condemn ourselves for eating meat".
Frankly speaking, however, meat lovers are mostly straightforward creatures. Ultimately, we just want to be able to indulge in an overflowing double-patty burger without guilt. Unfortunately for ethical and clean eaters, we love animals in the way most of them don't: when they're fried, roasted, braised, broiled, sautéed, or grilled.
Essentially, what all this means is this: if you discover early on while dating someone that they don't enjoy the food you cannot live without, break it off.
After everything else fades away, you still need to eat. A gastronomically incompatible partner is a burden we must resist inflicting upon ourselves.

like his 'mon oncle' jon
call any time!
first day of classes
I just wanted to send a quick update as today was really the first full day for the new and returning students here at New Tribes Bible Institute. There was really a buzz of energy that you could feel as the students roamed the hall. Many are excited to be back and to complete this time of training that the Lord has brought them here for but still many more, brand new freshman are wandering the campus, probably wondering what comes next as they embark on what will surely be an epic journey. I was talking with some students last night, upperclassmen, about how freshman are always so eager to find their place amongst the student body. That desire leads to all kinds of behavior, some good, some not so good and some infamous. So far, mostly harmless.
Bethany and I are so grateful that what we get to call our job and career and ministry is to be a part of these students lives for the time they spend here. These students are our next set of missionaries, potentially the next set of tribal church planters, or support workers, or pastors in local churches or mature lay people in their communities. Some could even be martys or give their lives like a recent mission airplane pilot back in our adopted country of Indonesia did! It's sobering to realize all of those possibilities.
I had the chance to meet the musical worship team that I'll be workign with and discipling for the next year, this past weekend and this morning to kick off the day, we played our first set of praise music together. Again, that I get to do that and call it my job is incredible! They're a great group of students and I look forward to filling you in on what our God will do in their lives. As these next weeks go by, my role in the evangelism aspect here will also increase as I work along with another teacher, Chris Darland, to equip these students to effectively communicate the true Gospel to a world who increasingly knows less and less about God and sin and the basic concepts that we who have grown up in solid churches understand.
I can't wait to communicate more as the semester goes by. I know there'll be many tired and frustrating times still to come, but today I'm grateful for what God has us doing. Thank you for standing with us the way you do! Please keep praying for us and for the students we serve here.Also, some co-workers here have lent us an extra camera (ours broke in Indo) so we hope to communicate through some images as well. Look for more of those soon!

Joel and I have attempted to keep dating in our married life these past five years. At first, before kids, it wasn't too hard to fit in a date every week or so, but then after kids, it became more complicated. Well, then you add in the number of moves we've had this year alone and well, dates have become few and far between.
A few weeks ago, some frineds here offered to watch the boys for us if we wanted to go out on a date! We were so excited but at the time, money, or lack there of really hinered us having more than just coffee together. Then this week, God provided several gifts that enabled us to meet our budget needs for the month, including a date! So today we get to go on a real date and we are so excited. You'd think it was Christmas morning or something as we anticipate an adult day out as a couple, sans kids! Thank you to JP and Sue and your generosity to care for our boys so we can get this much needed break. We love you guys and are so thankful to be serving here with you again.
I have to also mention my friend Denise who watched the boys a week or so ago so we could go grocery shopping. Although the day was a bit different than we planned, having that time together was really important. Thank you for your sensitivity!

the calm...
here at NTBI, it's only a matter of days till this place is flooded with new students eager (mostly) to see what God has in store for them. we're so excited to be a part of that work of God in their lives and we so need your prayers as we begin this new ministry!

summer days and nights
It was a week where we saw God's provision of our 'daily bread' like we've never before seen it!
Praise our God!
It was a week with alot of ups and downs...
But, our God gave the strength for it!
And after it all, we were able to get to Dairy Queen last night to maybe celebrate a bit or just enhance the warm summer evening. Much fun!
These next two weeks will be very busy as the students will be returning during that time. I (Joel) still have much to do to prepare for their return. The musical worship team that I'll be working with hasn't had alot of interaction with leadership up to this point and I'm ambitious to really get to know them. But at the same I must be careful to not overdo it. It's our first semester here as a family on staff and I know my tendency to have way too high of expectations. Please be praying for me to be aware of that tendency and to make conscious choices to not take on more than I should.
Thanks for your prayers for us last week. They were evident. And it goes without saying, we still need them this week.
Please do keep praying for the Lord to increase our financial support base. I know that many missionaries around the world are facing similar support decreases and some even have to return from their vital ministries overseas just to raise more support. Please be asking the Lord to faithfully provide for His work here on this earth of ours. Many of us are looking to Him to do that.
And if you have time today, maybe check out our school's website New Tribes Bible Institute.

Customized Matchless DC plus Super Hard-On in one damn fine enclosure.
It's an emulator of the infamous boutique amp Matchless DC 30 used by Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam), Kings Of Leon, Elvis Costello, Lenny Kravitz ... and even Jimmy Page and Brian May are said to own at least six of them. This beautifully looking "Amp-in-a-box" inhabits underneath its snakeskin only high quality components constructed and wired in top notch workmanship.
It ranges from fuzzy gain to smooth and sweet overdrive highly usable for both humbuckers and single-coils. Along with the added super hard-on booster this hot-modded stompbox becomes even more versatile and flexible allowing to go from "Axis: Bold as Love" to "Led Zep II". Even if used just as a booster it will blow your average Klon Centaur off your board. Of course we are taking of true bypass here, so the clean signal sounds great and rich. A centerpiece in anybody's stompbox collection.

Triples and Blinds
I've signed Laddie up for his first Master Hunt Test on October 29, 2010, in Manorville, NY. Therefore, I've temporarily stopped running Laddie on long set-ups in our private practice. At least until the test, I plan to set up HT-scale triples combined with the most difficult blinds I can come up with. For the triples, I use my two BBs and one RL with a weighted streamer and a pre-positioned WB.
When I began that pattern a few sessions ago, Laddie nailed the go-bird and first memory-bird, but had a long hunt on the final memory-bird (that is, the first bird thrown) on all four series. In our next series the following day, he followed the identical pattern on another four series, no matter how easy I tried to make the final memory-bird.
However, today I set up two more easy triples with big blinds. He still had more difficulty than I expected on the final memory-bird marks.
I've concluded that after years of training on doubles, Laddie hasn't had enough triples in his experience, and has developed an internal rhythm that cadences with the second mark.
So this afternoon, in two separate sessions, we went to a small field near work and I threw poorman triples, quads, and even quints with WBs. These were quick series, where I'd sit Laddie at the SL, walk out a short distance and throw the WBs in various directions and distances, then come back and let him get quickly into action. At first, every fall was visible, and Laddie still required small hunts after the first two marks. But soon, he was nailing every one. After that, I used the slope of the land to throw an early mark out of sight. That required Laddie to hunt again the first couple of times, but once again, he soon adjusted and was taking a good line to the hidden falls as well. These fast-paced drills seemed to be great fun for Laddie.
In our next session, I'll run another poorman triple or two, then try using the BBs and RL for another more event-like triple, and see whether the poorman drills have helped prepare Laddie for more success with his final memory-bird mark.
"Just Watch"
I'm afraid that Laddie's most vulnerable area for the Master test will be whether he can honor a flyer, and unfortunately, I have not been able to arrange for us to practice with live birds. At most, Laddie has seen one or two flyers, if any, since his last Senior test in the spring.
The best I've been able to come up with is to run Laddie on his series, and then have him sit at the side in an honor location while I run Lumi on a similar series. Because of Lumi's limited soundness, she doesn't seem to enjoy long retrieves, and she's often very slow on her returns. However, I walk over to Laddie, say very distinctly "Just watch" (our honor cue), and then I leave his side and go over to run Lumi on her series. I try to use maximum excitement for Lumi's throws — hey-heys, duck calls, high throws, gunshots — I often make them very short, and I position Laddie so that Lumi will run right in front of him for her go-bird.
So far, Laddie has never broken in those situations. If he stands up to him, I walk over to him and clearly say, "Sit!" But if he stays rock steady, as he usually does, I throw a bumper for him. I've also begun bringing out a jar of PB, and if he's steady, I give him a taste of that as an additional treat.
I don't know how beneficial this procedure will be in preparing him to honor flyers. The sequence should help — first you run your series, then you watch the next dog — and hopefully the fact that I'll be standing next to him in an event will make honoring easier for him than having me standing five yards away running another dog. But I can't duplicate the level of ambient excitement of an event, I can't duplicate the excitement of a live bird being shot with a real shotgun, and the different context of me running Lumi, rather than standing with Laddie, may actually be disadvantageous in preparing Laddie for a particular response to a particular set of stimuli.
However, it's the best preparation I've been able to arrange for. Hopefully, on top of previous preparation that got Laddie thru his Senior tests, it will be enough.

I normally feel a little guilty cooking this because of the Salted Veges (The Xien Chai/Humchoy). I always feel that preserved items from China are hmm.. how should i put it...not very comfortable. My father-in-law always tells scary stories about preserved stuff with overloaded chemicals. So I was really excited when Aunty Terri blogged about her Xien Chai recipe. I tried it and it turn out really good. I dont think i will ever buy any Xien Chai outside again.
Here's what you need to do:
1 no of small duck (approx 1.5kg or so), cleaned with salt and chopped to pieces
1.5 litre of water
2 medium stalks of homemade Xien Chai, cut in 3 parts
2-3 no of local tomatos, sliced
1/2 bulb of garlic, washed and leave as whole
1 small pc of ginger (about thumb size), scraped skin and smashed
3-4 pcs of sour plums (more if you like it more sour)
1) Boil water. Add garlic, ginger, sour plums and Xien Chai to boiling water.
2) Add duck to boiling water. Let it boiled. Then turn to simmer til duck meat are soft but still in intact.
3) Add tomatos right before serving and let it simmer for at least 20 minutes for flavours to release
4) You can place soup mixture in claypots and boil it over fire if you want to keep it warm for longer. And it looks better as well. I dont add any salt, msg or pepper.
Nice and warm on rainy and chilly days. It has been raining non-stop everyday in Kuching now. Rainy season has arrived! Well, come to think of it, it has been a weird year. It has practically been raining the whole year.
My Xien Chai (Aunty Terri, Pass or not?!)
4-5 bunches of leafy mustard green or Kua Chai
Some Salt
Water used for washing rice
1) Wash and clean Kua Chai well and wipe dry. Sun dry for two days or so.
3) When it is ready, i just wash it a little and place in a clean covered bowl and store in refridgerator.

Using only one flavor at a time, place one tablespoon of cake batter in each muffin tin, being sure the batter is even and reaches the edges.
When done, carefully place one tablespoon of the second flavor in each tin, again making an effort to spread the batter evenly and to the edges.
Repeat as often as you are able, filling each tin 2/3 full.
Bake until done, according to cake recipe directions.
Allow cupcakes to cool, then decorate with white frosting drizzled with chocolate – or the other way around!
Devour and enjoy!
As you might imagine, the completion of this Challenge is just the beginning of a fresh, new year for this and my other two blogs
Creatzart.com and DiscoveringHome.com
and like you, I am impatient to get underway and looking forward to many more shared culinary adventures!
Thank you.

*** Total epic fail, I wrote most of this post last night, but got called away and forgot to post it! So here it is, slightly amended, and slightly late!***
Pic: Sam with a great big cheesy grin as he cut his cake!Yesterday was Mr. Sam's 6th birthday. It's hard to believe he's 6 already. He's done so much maturing over the last year and has really made the leap from little boy, to big kid. He started the day off with his card from me & dad, complete with accompanying Captain Jack Sparrow birthday badge hehehe and pancakes for breaky.
The boys decided to dive into schoolwork to make the day go faster, as they knew there were presents for Sam and Nan was coming over after dinner for cake! Well that failed, because by 10am they were done lol. Sam & Frodo hatched another plan, CLEAN! They announced they were going to clean a few rooms up, so that by the time they finished it would be lunch time, dad would be home, and presents could be opened! Fabulous, have at it boys! I'll just make a cuppa and locate some bon bons LOL.
Amazingly enough, their timing was spot on too. They tidied both kid bedrooms, the toys out of the family room and pottered around the lounge for a few minutes when they heard the door & saw Dad's very noticeable orange (high visibility) shirt through the sidelight at the front door. They went NUTS! Presents were opened like almost immediately. LEGO!!!! Atlantis theme lego at that... very cool under sea vehicle and a funky shark thingy. There's even King Neptune and divers.. WICKED.
I totally amazed myself, by putting together a particularly difficult looking kit. Faster than dh got the one he was assigned put together. Normally the kids would help, but the spaz levels were just too high for sitting down long enough to do that! So we adults cranked them out.
After dinner, Sams VERY favourite fried ride & yum cha, Nanny & grandpa rocked up with cousin L in tow :) Coffee was drunk, cake & ice cream consumed (NOM was the raspberry swirl cake I baked!) And MORE lego were opened lol. Nan got him an undersea diving game for the Wii, as well as a little lego kit from the Toy Story collection. It's a little Jeep with 4 'little green army soldiers' like out of the movie. They totally rock too. Sam & Frodo were stoked at being told they could stay up as late as they wanted... and they made it till 855pm before asking to go to bed LOL. Not that they really wanted to SLEEP or anything, but Nan also brought them very cool giant (like 3 inches tall) lego men.. when you squeeze their middle, their feet light up. Lego man torches.. is there much cooler in a 6yo's mind or what? Not likely!
There was much giggling and silliness for at least another hour after they went to bed but eventually, silence! Hubby & I watched a cheesy romance movie and just generally enjoyed a nice quiet couple of hours to wind the day up.
Next birthday up.. The Teen!! But his is the end of April, so I've got a wee bit of time!

Lowe's to Settle Misclassification Lawsuit with Installation Workers for $2.85MM
Lowe's has agreed to a $2.85 million settlement with installation workers who previously filed a class action lawsuit in New Jersey federal court, claiming they were denied benefits and misclassified as independent contractors rather than employees. The settlement payout will benefit approximately 450 installation workers and companies who provided services to Lowe's customers in New Jersey. The lawsuit alleged that Lowe's misclassified these workers and companies as independent contractors, which prevented them from access to benefits such as liability insurance coverage, workers compensation, temporary disability and health insurance, as well as eligibility for Social Security and Medicare. One of the installation workers alleged that although he worked 80 hours a week on jobs for Lowe's, he didn't get benefits and was required to pay self-employment tax on all income he earned from those jobs. The lawsuit claimed that installation workers should be classified as Lowe's employees because the work they performed was controlled by the company, including scheduling the installations, inspecting the work done by the employees, and requiring the customer to pay Lowe's for the services directly. The suit also alleged Lowe's required the installation workers to undergo background checks and to wear Lowe's company shirts and hats while on the job.

Oh dear.
Alright, who do you reckon this is supposed to be?
If you're anything like us, you'd think it was a sassy Sim someone spent a good half-an-hour creating to fit in with their The Real Housewives of Simtown dream.
Buuuuut it's not.
It's actually supposed to be a celebrity.
This slightly off-looking figure is an exhibit in a Niagara Falls wax museum and she's going viral for looking nothing like she's supposed to look.
We've blurred out the name tag on her dress to give you a chance to guess who you think she is.
Any ideas?
[Image via Twitter/@amascriver]
"According to the curators of the wax museum in Niagara Falls, this is Beyoncé," writer Ama Scriver said on Twitter.
Just let that sink in.
[Image via Twitter/@amascriver]
Now that you can see the nametag with the face, does it finally make sense?
Nah, we didn't think so either.
This figure is so dodgy that people are taking to social media to vent about it, with the observation being made into an official Twitter Moment.
And it's not the only wax figure cock up in the Niagara Falls area.
[Image via Twitter/@amascriver and Getty]
Check out this sad excuse for a Pam Am, pointed out by writer Jessica Bloom.
[Image via Twitter/@jess__bloom]
And cop an eyeful of this waxy abomination, which is apparently supposed to be Celine Dion.
What an insult to the woman responsible for the only other song people can play on the recorder besides Hot Cross Buns and Advance Australia Fair.
[Image via Twitter/@jess__bloom]
Oh, and have a go at what they did to poor Hoges.
That's not a Mick Dundee, that's a disgrace.
[Image via Twitter/@Ally1775]
But this about more than dodgy wax figures.
Because look what keeps happening to Beyoncé, as pointed out by Twitter user @finah.
We don't even know where to start with this one.
So we're just going to point out one hilarious reply that speaks volumes:
"Lindsay Lohan stars in Lifetime's 'Sasha Fierce: A Child Of Destiny' this fall," @Kno said on Twitter.
[Image via Twitter/@finah]
We don't understand how this happens.
We haven't seen such a dodgy colour match since we tried a free sample of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation at 13-years-old.
[Image via Twitter/@finah]
On one hand, the crappy, crappy remakes of Beyoncé just reaffirm how irreplaceable and unfakeable she is.
Replicating perfection would be tricky and we get that.
But as people pointed out on Twitter, the seemingly constant whitewashing of the pop icon is a little hard to ignore.
"THAT IS NOT OUR QUEEN," @stillmscrain tweeted, along with the Black History Month hashtag and a Gif of Beyoncé looking fabulous, walking away from an explosion.
"Who's gonna tell 'em???? #BeyonceISBLACK," Tonya Riddick said.
We reckon this GIF from Avery Francis sums things up nicely.
Do better, wax makers.

Snap Shots: Pens 4, Jets 3 (OT)by Sam Kasan @PensInsideScoop / Pittsburgh Penguins
Thoughts, musings and observations from the Pens' 4-3 overtime win against the Winnipeg Jets at PPG Paints Arena.
*The Pens may have defeated the Jets, 4-3, but the story of this game is obviously captain Sidney Crosby reaching the 1,000-point mark in his career with a first-period assist on a Chris Kunitz goal.
There is plenty of coverage of this memorable night for Crosby, so if you want to read our extensive coverage please click here.
But that being said, it was a historic moment and incredible accomplishment. The hometown crowd was treated to a once-in-a-lifetime event and the captain, as he typically does, delivered.
The crowd erupted and gave Crosby a lengthy standing ovation, to which he returned an appreciative salute with a raised stick.
*Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury made his first home start since Jan. 8 and he continued his recent run of home success. Fleury made 44 saves to improve to 27-5-2 in his last 34 home decisions.
Fleury was at his best in the first period while flashing the glove. First he snagged a shot by Blake Wheeler from the circle while the Jets were on a power play. Late in the opening frame he made a demonstrative 360 degree catch of a hard snap shot by rookie sensation Patrik Laine coming down the center lane. Fleury made an aggressive poke check on a Nikolaj Ehlers breakaway late in the third period to keep it a 3-3 game. He made one final dramatic stop on Ehlers on a breakaway in overtime to salvage the victory.
*The fans certainly got their moneys worth. Pittsburgh tied the game late in the 3rd period with a Phil Kessel power-play snipe. Then Evgeni Malkin deked through a Jets defender to setup Crosby for the game-winner in OT. It was a dramatic finish and the perfect end to a perfect night.
*The Jets like to play a heavy game and really lay out the body. The Pens were the victims of a few solid hits. Three Pens' players had to leave the game following such collisions: Justin Schultz, Carter Rowney and Olli Maatta. Though Rowney returned, Pittsburgh had to play half of the game with just 4 blueliners.
*Speaking of those 4 blueliners, they did a fabulous job in a tough circumstance. Of course, it helps when you have Kris Letang. The Pens' top D-man shouldered the bulk of the load with 31:07 minutes of ice time. The group banded together well with short shifts and help preserve the victory.
*Also, there was another milestone tonight lost in the shuffle of Crosby's 1,000th point. That would be Letang's 600th career game. Congratulations Kris.

I'm a great believer in trying to have plenty of 'reality' in Fantasy. Some of the underlying ideas are so inherently unbelievable that I feel a good dose of hard, detailed, reality is necessary to ensure the reader finds it easy to suspend their disbelief. It was Fritz Leiber who said "Fantasy must be fertilized—yes, watered and manured—from the real world".
So how do I tackle this? Firstly combat is inherently dangerous. People are swinging sharpened steel bars about. If you get it only slightly wrong you could end up dead, or what is perhaps worse, maimed for life. So you aren't going to take unnecessary risks.
But the definition of unnecessary might come up for sudden redefinition. An opening which allows you to get a killing blow in might well be risky, but is it more or less risky than playing it safe?
Finally the combatants are husbanding their reserves. They are high on adrenaline. They are under stress and they will get tired very quickly. Anyone who has taken part in 'friendly' martial arts sparring sessions will know how quickly you will become tired.
When it comes to the detail of the fight, I do try and play out the scene in my head, checking when the combatant will have his weight, how he will move and how his opponent will react.
Where I don't dwell on the detail is in the result of the blows. I don't go in for graphic wound descriptions. Or perhaps I ought to say, I don't often go in for graphic would descriptions.
Why should I? It's not cinema where the director has to arrange every detail. I'm projecting my story onto the imagination of the reader. Their imagination is more vivid, more colourful than anything I can write. If I go in for gratuitous detail, I'll limit the reader's imagination.
But, occasionally, just occasionally, I do allow a little detail to creep in. Because there isn't a lot of gore, the little bit of gore I do use stands out and is more vivid. Also it acts as a benchmark against which the reader can calibrate their imagination.
The first example comes from 'Swords for a Dead Lady.'
Benor came round the next corner and found himself looking down on the melee. It looked as if Yallou, Kirisch and Rothred had been hit from front and rear as they walked down the alley.
Kirisch was in the middle, leaning against the wall below him, obviously holding his left arm tightly against his left side, and with his right hand holding his sword in a guard position. Rothred was covering his right and
Yallou his left.
There were at least a dozen attackers but only two facing Rothred on the right; there were two bodies already sprawled there – Rothred had obviously been busy.
One of the attackers charged in at Rothred, sword raised to cut. Rothred stepped forward with his blade up to parry. Benor dropped his sword on the wall-walk and pulled at a loose coping stone. It came away from the wall and he dropped it on Rothred's attacker.
It caught him on the shoulder, knocking him sideways. Rothred brought his sword down on the man's neck and shoulder, dropping him in a spray of blood.
Benor threw the next coping stone at the last man to Rothred's right, but he saw it coming and skipped sideways to avoid it – but at least this meant the three men were no longer surrounded. Benor dropped his sword over the wall, swung himself over and dropped next to Rothred. Rothred passed him the sword and they moved to form a line across the alley.
Benor saw three men move together to attack Yallou. He shouted a warning but was suddenly too busy parrying a series of blows from a fourth man who had attacked him. Kirisch saw an opening and slashed sideways with his sword cutting the man's leg. As the man half turned to parry Kirisch, Benor stepped forward smashing the man in the face with the clenched fist of his sword hand, the man reeled back and Kirisch took him in the side, putting him down.
Benor stepped forward to cover Kirisch and support Yallou. Yallou stepped left into the foremost of his attackers, the middle one, sweeping his sword upwards, driving his attacker's sword arm outwards, whilst using his left hand to drive his dagger into the man's throat. Leaving his dagger in the collapsing corpse Yallou put his weight behind his sword, continuing the stroke but now angling it down, smashing down the guard of the next assailant. Stepping right he struck the man with his hip knocking him off balance and sprawling, whilst he brought his left hand to his sword hilt and with a double handed grip he scythed across to the third assailant, who – caught off guard and entangled in the body of his dead companion – tried to leap back, but the tip of the blade slashed his stomach open.
Recovering from the swing Yallou reversed his grip and stepped right again to strike the still unbalanced second man. At this moment his once shattered leg failed him and buckled. As he tried to recover, his opponent thrust out with a despairing blow which slid upwards under Yallou's ribs and he dropped without a sound. Benor's sword struck Yallou's killer on the head, killing him instantly and Rothred stepped forward to cover his right hand side.
"Don't anyone move."
Benor stopped and looked. Kloft was standing in the Alley, at least a dozen watchmen with him, at least half of them Urlan and two with arrows already nocked in their bows. Kloft had no weapon drawn but stood with his thumbs hooked in his belt.
One of the rearmost attackers swung his sword. Whether he felt killing Kloft would break the watchmen, or whether he had some thoughts about holding him hostage no-one would ever know, the first arrow took him in the throat, the second in the chest.
"I said, don't anyone move."
Here is another example, it's from 'The Flames of the City'
Coming down the slope towards them were two Ranger scouts, riding for their lives. Cresting the ridge behind them was a black wedge of nomad cavalry. At the same time he heard Kloft shout, "Infantry, Halt!"
"Infantry, right face!"
Freelor tapped Karadan the Pimp on the shoulder.
"You stand at the back and kill anyone who turns to run; I'll take your place in the front line."
The Scar were nearer now, there was going to be no time for crossbow fire.
Freelor grasped his shield firmly.
"Front rank, brace yourselves; other ranks, close up!"
Freelor felt the shield of the man behind him firm in his back. From behind him he heard Bloggin Flor shouting to his crossbowmen to brace the spearmen. Freelor grinned mirthlessly to himself – whatever happened, none
of his Meor me were going to get a chance to run away.
An arrow thudded into his shield; he ducked his head down, so that only his eyes were over the shield rim. He wondered briefly if the nomads were going to hold off and pepper them with arrows, but instead the enemy horsemen came on, the front rank at least with lances lowered, and some of them on horses rather than ponies.
Freelor, his spear butt jammed into the ground, pointed his spearhead at the chest of the horse charging at him. At the last moment the horse tried to swerve right to avoid the spearhead, but Freelor brought the spearhead across to try and match the movement of the horse, and caught the animal in the shoulder. The horse's momentum drove it onto the spear and it swerved even further right, crashing into the horse next to it. They both went down in a tangle of flailing legs and hooves. This tore the spear from Freelor's grasp and he drew his sword. Another horseman had appeared in front of him, this one drove his lance at Freelor, who caught the point with his shield boss, and guided the lance past him to his left. The horseman pushed on, aiming to ride between Freelor and Griftok the Hookman on Freelor's left. Griftok thrust his spear at the rider's chest, the Scar warrior brought his shield across to block the blow, and then a spear from the man behind Freelor struck the horse below the eye, and continued onwards to leave a gash on the side of the horse's neck. The horse reared back and Freelor stepped forward and stabbed the rider in the thigh. The horse as still trying to turn but came down on the two fallen horses to its right, lost its balance and threw its rider. From the second rank another spear stabbed out, hitting the horse again. It struggled to its feet and crashed into the horse of a rider trying to get through to strike the infantry. Freelor took the opportunity offered to pick up his spear again, Griftok speared the fallen rider and the two of them fell back a half step into the line.
Freelor took the chance to look round.
Where he stood, the charge had been halted. Dead or dying men and horses prevented the Scar getting to hand blows with them, but further to the right where Kloft was, things seemed to be going less well. There the line seemed to be buckling, and behind him Freelor could hear more shouts and screams – it sounded as if the infantry on the other side of the wagons had also been hit. He just hoped they would hold. An arrow ricocheted off his helmet; he ducked behind his shield again and shouted, "Keep them shields up!"
He risked a glance behind him, but could see nothing but the men of the next rank, one of whom grinned at him and gestured with his head to the left.
"There's summat happening over there."
Freelor nodded, feeling that as a sergeant he ought to know what was going on. He risked another look to the right, things seemed to be getting dangerous along there, but he could see little. Then further right still he could hear the sharp crack of scatterguns. Then to the left came a shout of "Infantry brace!" Freelor took up the cry, "Straighten this line out and brace yourselves!"
In front of him a second line of Scar were attacking. Where the ground was obstructed they merely halted on the other side of the obstruction and poured arrows into the infantry line as fast as they could. Where there were no obstructions they hurled their horses into the line. This time, with front rank spearmen wounded, more of the horsemen made contact. An arrow struck Freelor's shield, penetrating it and grazing his arm.
Instinctively he glanced down to see what had hit him and his spearhead drifted left with the rest of his body. A nomad pony struck the side of his spear, forcing it further left and the rider struck down at him with a sword. Freelor tried to bring his shield up but it was too slow and he ducked, the sword striking the top of his helmet and shearing off the plume. Freelor dropped to his knees, stunned and the horse was past him. A second horse was bearing down on him and groggily he threw himself down and pulled his shield over him. The pony stood on the shield and Freelor stabbed upwards with his sword, hitting something, then the horse reared up and Freelor scrambled away keeping the shield between him and the enemy. He found a gap and stood up. In front of him was a Scar warrior trying to push through to join the melee. He swung at Freelor who raised his shield and blocked the blow, then thrust his sword into the man's unguarded thigh. The Scar brought his sword down again, and this time Freelor ducked and brought the shield edge up to catch his opponent's wrist. He continued to swing his shield, the edge driving the Scar warrior's arm further to Freelor's left and Freelor brought his sword up and stabbed the man in the stomach. The Scar collapsed forward and the pony, spotting a gap in the press of men and horses, surged into it, taking its dying master out of the combat. Freelor turned and saw Griftok beckoning to him. He stumbled back to the line and resumed his place. Griftok was trying to bind the wound of an infantryman Freelor knew but just couldn't put a name to. The noise was now deafening, and Griftok pointed right. A line of Brontotheres, the sun glinting on their armour, crashed into the flank of the Scar. As he watched, the Scar horsemen, as they realised what was happening, turned their mounts round to flee. But securing the right flank of the Brontotheres were Ranger cavalry, and they were shooting into the panicking mass of Scar trying to escape the Brontotheres.
Freelor bent down to pick up a spear from off the floor. From behind him he heard a shout of `Crossbowmen to the front!' and almost immediately the crossbowmen pushed between the files, spanning their crossbows as they came. Freelor turned to face his men.
"Let them through lads, we've had our fun, it's their turn now."
A water bottle appeared in front of him. Freelor reached for it and drank before passing it on to Griftok. Griftok took a mouthful and grinned.
"Thought we'd lost you back there."
"I thought I'd lost me back there as well."
Freelor looked back towards the Scar, but now all he could see was crossbowmen loading and firing as fast as they could. He heard Bloggin Flor shout, ordering them to cease fire, and Freelor pushed through their ranks to the front to see what was happening. The Scar were fleeing, and it was no longer possible to shoot them without hitting Rangers or Brontotheres. Gingerly, Freelor took off his helmet. Bloggin walked across to join him and they stood watching the pursuit. Freelor rearranged his helmet liner and put a scarf in as extra padding before putting his helmet back on again. "What happened behind us?"
Bloggin shrugged. "As far as I can tell, pretty much the same as happened to the front, but most of the Scar hit this side."
