Feeling in control plays an important role in the decision to adopt connected technology, according to a new Finn Futures™ survey conducted by Finn Partners' global technology practice (LANE is a Finn Partners company). The national poll looked at consumer sentiment toward smart homes, devices, and self-driving cars, and found varying levels of excitement and concern for these technologies.
"Emotion plays an important role when it comes to consumers' willingness to adopt connected technology," said Sabrina Horn, managing partner, U.S. technology practice, Finn Partners. "People want to feel in control of their lives and of their loved ones' well-being, so it isn't surprising that we always see peace-of-mind as the top motivator in smart home adoption. Communications professionals need to help brands and other connected technology sectors tap into this finding with more visually-oriented and multi-faceted market awareness campaigns."
Driverless car or "driverless" vacuum cleaner?
While autonomous vehicles are creating a lot of news right now, consumers are not fully on board with the concept yet.
Concern over nascent technology
"Nascent technology – like autonomous vehicles – can evoke feelings of risk and loss of control, so it's not surprising to see that privacy and security are top concerns," said Horn. "Marketers need to take a measured approach to reaching potential customers simply because of the degree to which these new technologies can change how people live. For example, communicators should avoid fear-based or threat-centered campaigns and opt for more positive messages of safety and well-being as consumers adjust to the new normal."
Connected technology is not one-size-fits-all or even dependent on age when it comes to challenges faced. When asked about concerns:
People are highly interested in giving doctors direct online access to health information
Consumers are interested (70 percent) in allowing their doctors to monitor their health remotely, a trend that increases among younger Americans.
Overall, smart home is no longer a futuristic concept
Smart home has come a long way in a few short years. In 2014, a white paper from the Consumer Electronics Association and Park Associates reported that two-thirds of consumers with broadband are not very familiar with smart home services or products or where to buy them. The Finn Futures survey showed that 86 percent of consumers "are confident they know what it means when someone says they have a smart home" – a huge leap in awareness over the last three years.
About the Survey
The Finn Futures survey, from Finn Partners, was conducted online recently among a representative sample of 1,000 Americans, and is part of an ongoing initiative by the company to assess attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors in public affairs and other areas of critical importance to consumers. The data was weighed slightly to ensure it was representative of the U.S. adult population. Full results of the survey are available upon request.

Jamie Donaldson of Wales made 11 birdies for a second-round 61 Friday at the Volvo China Open, soaring to the top of the leaderboard of the European Tour event.
Donaldson is one stroke ahead of seven players tied at 12 under at the Luxehills International Country Club in Chengdu, the capital of China's Sichuan province. His scintillating performance lifted him 57 places after a 2-under 70 in the first round.
Sergio Garcia of Spain was two shots back, alongside four others, after a round of 67. Garcia has yet to make a bogey this week.
Chinese star Liang Wen-chong followed his 68 with a 66 on Friday and is three shots behind the leader as 20 players lie within three shots of the lead heading into the weekend.
Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington (73) and defending champion Y.E. Yang (75) missed the cut. Despite opening the round with an eagle, Yang had five bogeys and a double bogey at the 18th.
Frenchman Gregory Havret, South African Keith Horne, Denmark's Jeppe Huldahl and Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium were among those tied for second at 12 under, and were joined later in the day by Irishman Peter Lawrie, Jeev Milkha Singh of India and Ulsterman Gareth Maybin.
"I had a good round. I birdied 16, 17, 18 then 1 and 3, so 5 under for six holes was the key," said Havret, the 2010 U.S. Open runner-up, who completed a second consecutive round of 66.
"I've not played badly this year -- a couple of top-20s in the Middle East and a third in India, and I was a bit disappointed to miss the cut at the Masters," he explained. "The game is pretty much there. I just need to get some iron shots going and I did that today."
Storm halts Westwood's charge in Indonesian Masters
JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Lee Westwood moved into a tie for the lead at the Asian Tour's Indonesian Masters Friday before the second round was suspended by thunder and lightning at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club.
The No. 2-ranked Westwood rolled in four straight birdies to begin his round and holed a seventh at the 16th to move to 9 under for the tournament before he was forced off the course. Play will resume early at 6:30 a.m. Saturday, with Westwood having to play the last two holes.
Shaaban Hussin of Malaysia and Park Hyun-bin of South Korea were already in the clubhouse on 9 under.
"Good day on the links," Westwood wrote on his Twitter feed. "Opened with 4 straight birdies but got to say I hate not finishing!"
Westwood will reclaim the top ranking from Martin Kaymer this week if he wins and Luke Donald doesn't win the Heritage on the PGA Tour.
Shaaban Hussin and Park Hyun-bin claimed the clubhouse lead at the Indonesian Masters as Lee Westwood's charge came to a halt when the second round was suspended due to lightning on Friday.
Thailand's Thitiphun Chuayprakong (68) is one shot behind the leaders, while Pariya Junhasavasdikul, who shot the best round of the week so far with a 65, is another stroke back on 7 under in the clubhouse alongside three other players.
A total of 47 players have yet to complete their second rounds. Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee was 8 under with two to play.
Westwood, who reverted to a conventional putter Friday, birdied his opening four holes before making the turn in 32. He added a birdie and bogey on holes 12 and 13 respectively and birdied the 16th just before play was suspended.
"Obviously I'm disappointed because I had two more holes to play," he said. "I'm still in contention and have to see how things go in the next two days."

A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
Proverbs 31:10, 26
Have you met such a woman? Do you know someone that epitomizes the Proverbs 31 woman?
I did…Earlier this year I wrote this about my dear friend Alice. This week she went on to be with the Lord. We are on the way to her service this afternoon…and I had to repost this in honor of this wonderful lady.
I met Alice over 30 years ago. Her son went to high school with my husband and myself.
Originally, we actually knew her husband better. He had played pro-ball in his younger years and loved to watch our boys play baseball when they were growing up. We would stop by their home, chat and then take Charlie to one of the kid's ballgames.
Charlie also loved to fish. The perfect combo for my husband – fishing and baseball.
Charlie went to be with the Lord several years ago.
I really did not get to know Alice until just a few years ago when I changed churches. I can truthfully say that I have never met such a prayer warrior, devoted woman of God… she is the wife of noble character…a godly woman.
I remember the first time I spoke to her about a situation I was having with another person…I was whining. With such poise and loving tenderness she responded, "We need to pray for ____." My brain screamed, "Pray for her? I didn't want that response, I wanted you to commiserate with me!!" But I knew she was right.
Many times when I begin to whine, I remember Alice's response…and I remind myself to pray and stop my whining.
Alice's health has declined over the years. A few months ago when I called her she was so excited that she could still do her volunteer work…from her home. The church was bringing her clothes for the Thrift Store for her to fold…and she felt so blessed to be able to continue this ministry. Can you imagine? A true servant's heart!
She can no longer go to the church every Tuesday to be a part of the Prayer Team, but she prays without ceasing from her living room.
This past Wednesday I was able to go to our church's small group. While I was there Alice called our house to inquire on my health; she had heard I had been hospitalized with pneumonia. I was overwhelmed when I returned home and learned she had called. Alice now weighs less than 100 pounds, uses a walker, is confined to her home…and she was concerned about me!!
Many women do noble things, but Alice surpasses them all!
I feel blessed and honored to be considered one of her friends. Titus instructs the older women to be reverent in how they live, to teach what is good, to be self-controlled and to train the younger women to show love to their husbands and children.
I thank Alice for teaching me these things and making me accountable for my actions.
Alice has been a model Christian for many women in our church and community.
Who is modeling your behavior? Are your actions noble and full of grace? When someone reads Proverbs 31, does your face come to mind?
Prayer:Lord, show me where I need to improve, to live a reverent life and for my actions to noble and full of grace.
I will miss Alice…she was such a saintly woman…it was an honor to have been her friend.
Blessings, Susan

Signed up on Jan 05, charged immediately. On Jan 10 was charged again for another box, no idea why? Thought this would be a great subscription but really don't appreciate the shady practice.
MamaLandon 1/10/2017
Great feedback, I was interested in subscribing but I will pass after all these reviews.
Mollyon 1/21/2016
AWFUL! I asked to CANCEL my happy box and get the messy box. In the cancel email I wrote that maybe I should just switch. I immediately signed up for the more expensive box. Four months later I'm still getting double charged. I'm pretty sure I can do a charge back which I hate to do- but how hard would it be to give me a couple of free months. Or, gasp. apologize. I am so mad because I liked this box. They're just too shady to trust with credit cards.
Chrison 7/10/2015
The cancelling process is really difficult. Even worse than Arcade Block, and I thought that was pretty bad... Customer Service is slow to respond. Plus if you do cancel, the refund is not pro-rated fairly. I would love this sub so much more if they just made it easier to cancel (or at least opt out of certain months), like say Wantable or CitrusLane.
Jessviion 5/22/2015
I love this box! I only started last month, but it's so cute and the value is amazing! The quality of the cards is amazing and they are so unique. Not only do you get a set of cards each month, but you also get a few "special items" like stickers or a notepad. Try it out. You won't be disappointed!
Jennon 5/16/2015
I wanted so much to love this box. I'm a subcribtion junkie and when I saw that this box was coming out I was all for it. I've been reading the blog and even bought their books. Well so far I haven't used ONE card yet or anything in the box for that matter! Such a disappointment. I would suggest paying the $20 and trying it out first and pass on the yearly subcription!
Sheritaon 2/28/2015
Just got my first. I like it-it's got me to send cards to a few people who I know will enjoy them. Although, I probably need a few more friends-because I sent them to most of them with one box. I like it, but I do not like things laying around my house. Next month will be a better barometer.
Chrison 2/25/2015
Meh. Not so thrilled, every card I got was a flat card or postcard, three of them are the same, small, flat black and white cards with "This card is for:" and about 5 checkboxes on it, the checkboxes are simple, like, "your baby" is one and another is "your wedding" it's so incredibly generic I would feel cheap using them. I like people to think I put some thought into what I send or enclose. A cheap white checkbox card is not going to do it. That being said, I did get 2 cards I liked and a nice print that I intend to use. I am in the process of cancelling, it's an annoying process, first you have to e-mail them, wait for a reply and pretty much beg them to stop. And, if for some reason the process takes longer than the 25th of the month, they charge you a cancellation fee of $15 and you don't get a package for it. You just have to pay them to stop.
Teresaon 2/17/2015
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Cute cards, awesome quality, great packaging, huge variety --everything about this is incredible. The only downside is the cards are too cute to use and I just hoard them all!

There are rumors that three people are talking about regarding Apple. The first is the possibility that Apple will launch a TV market, the second speaks of a smart watch that has been dubbed iWatch and the third and perhaps the most recurrent is the possibility that Apple provide a low cost iPhone.
Perhaps the rumor that most talked about in recent months and that perhaps has more strength and acceptance is the possibility that Apple iPhone launch to the market a low cost. The sources for this rumor are several and they all agree that is the way forward for Apple, but the company itself has refused on more than one occasion.
Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray is one of the greatest analyst who focuses on Apple and its business. This analyst has hit countless times in his predictions about the world and it seems that Apple is willing to continue claiming that the company is developing a low-cost iPhone.
Gene said:
"We believe a lower priced iPhone would be a positive for Apple shares for two reasons. First, despite the lower profit margin, Apple should accelerate the growth of their gross profits and the low-end market is a market of 135 billion dollars. Second, investors have historically bought Apple stock just before the launch of new products. "
Gene Munster believes that Apple could release a cheaper iPhone to compete in a market of 135 billion
Clearly, Apple's stock to be a very good thing that the company was encouraged to launch a low-end terminal, but Apple has said on more than one occasion that it is not that. Apple seeks not only the maximum amount of money possible, but seeks to make the best products on the market (and indeed has not gone wrong so far).
In some countries such as Germany, UK, France, China, India or Brazil, Apple is selling the iPhone 4 like hotcakes and still is a terminal 133% more expensive than the global average low-end smartphones, so Apple could make a lot more money and could adjust prices to regain some of the market share it has lost to other competitors such as Samsung.
Certainly a market of 135 billion dollars is a very interesting market, but Apple has insisted more than once that they would launch a low cost phone. Furthermore, the Cupertino company has hit a major downturn in the stock market, something that does not please shareholders and could bring more of a headache. Do you think the Apple Tim Cook will be able to launch a low-cost iPhone to please shareholders? Do you end up confirming rumors?

Thankfully you can shield your grimacing eyes with the Tifosi Optics Tyrant 2.0 Photochromic Polarized Sunglasses. Crafted to transition easily between light and dark, the Tyrant 2.0 easily waffles between the shade and bright terrain with ease. You know, just in case you have to go fishing for golf balls for the millionth time.

The Tifosi polycarbonate lenses protect you against harmful UVA/UVB rays with its true polarization that's embedded into the material itself rather than simply coated with a thin layer of polarization treatment.

Holistic Aromatherapy (Non-Massage)
Holistic Aromatherapy (Non-Massage)
(Accredited by the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists, IFPA, UK)
The IFPA Level 4/5 Holistic Aromatherapy (Non-Massage) comprises of the following units:
– Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology (Distance learning with support)
– Professional Conduct and Business Awareness
– Aromatherapy Theory
The main aim of the IFPA (International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists – UK) is to enable candidates to provide professional Holistic treatments for the purpose of stress release. It uses blending of essential oils for relaxation and treating other ailments.
Holistic Aromatherapy includes the study of 66 essential oils, 20 base oils and 4 herb oils, along with the chemical constituents, contraindications and safety data of each oil.
In the Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology unit, the candidates will self-study the human body systems and diseases. Support will be provided throughout the program with on line tests, assignments and homework. The Professional Conduct and Business awareness module will cover the practitioner's code of conduct and ethics, as well as the business acumen necessary to suit a professional career.
Successful completion of this certificate is determined by case studies carried out by the candidate amounting to 160 hours of making blends (20 clients x 8 blends each- this applies to the non-massage classification). For the certification with massage case studies of (10 clients x 6 sessions EACH for Therapeutic massage and Aromatherapy massage – i.e. total 140 hours) as well as by a written theory exam for all 3 modules. Candidates doing the course with massage will have 4 written theory exams and 1 Therapeutic Massage Practical and 1 Aromatherapy Practical evaluation.
Aromatherapy is a treatment designed to help maintain physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing by the correct application of pure essential oils. The word 'aroma' means a fragrance or sweet smell and the word therapy simply means a treatment designed to bring about a positive change in an individual.
Since an aromatherapy treatment is concerned with creating balance and equilibrium within a person, its primary uses are to calm, uplift, detoxify, de-stress and invigorate – in others words, to help the body to help itself to regain health or wellbeing.
Although many people assume that aromatherapy is simply a fragrant massage, the real effects of clinical aromatherapy treatments can be deeper and more therapeutic than this.
Aromatherapy is not always integrated with massage – there are many ways that essential oils can be used to positive effect. Other methods include:
• Inhalation
• Bathing
• Lotions/Creams
• Compress
A professional Aromatherapist will be able to advise you on the right dosage for each method, and the best way for you to incorporate essential oils into your daily routine.
Graduates can gain employment in salons, spas, cruise liners, NHS trust and various aspect of Healthcare industry.

|Rotel RMB-1077 Multi-channel Power Amplifier
|Saturday, 01 April 2006
Page 2 of 3
Television and Movies
After being patient with the amp, allowing it a chance to properly break in over a few days, I popped in Maxwell's Embrya (Columbia). In "Everwanting To Want You To Want," I quickly discovered that there was a vast collection of instruments to be identified in the recording that past listening sessions had not informed me about. Despite all the unique instrument sounds quickly entering and leaving the song, the imaging remained solid. The soundstage had a great feeling of openness. The bongos could be found in a precise location just five feet above the left speaker without difficulty. The high end was detailed, with subtle bell sounds from the foreground and cleverly dispersed cricket sounds surrounding the listener. The smooth alto voice of Maxwell, supported by a mix of male and female background singers, dazzled in the midrange. As with any Maxwell track, it is rich in bass, pumping at your chest and feet, and the Rotel RMB 1077 didn't disappoint. It provided solid impactful bass that had me dancing around my room like a fool.
"I'm You: You Are Me And We Are You" sounds complicated in title, but wait until you hear all the distinct instruments blended together. The liquid-sounding waterfall chimes, the long decay of a wood block being struck and those crazy crickets again dance amongst the treble sounds. There are trumpets, organs, violins, and no party would be complete without a Spanish guitar. I felt the highs were a little rolled-off compared to the performance of the Anthem A5, but still felt the RMB-1077 was very musical and imaged well. The Rotel RMB-1077 did an exemplary job in detail, impact and instrument separation.
Since the RMB-1077 is a multi-channel amp, I opted to try out the Out There SACD (New Jazz) by Eric Dolphy. The multifaceted talents of Dolphy on both the clarinet and the flute are demonstrated throughout this recording. In "Serene," Dolphy's playing mesmerized me with his ability to make sounds I never thought possible from a clarinet. The machine gun-like shuttering effects and the rapid progressions from the low to high end of the frequency range were all beautifully captured by the RMB-1077. Forever gone are my memories of the instrument that sounded like a broken clown nose, that only the dorkiest kids in elementary school would play. The clarinet sounds were forward in presentation, but never to the point of being harsh to the listener. The recording, with all its weaknesses, sounded remarkably tight and had great detail. The bass, which typically sounds a bit muffled in this example, had a tight and punchy sound.
The song "17 West" switched focus to the flute as the centerpiece instrument. Details such as quick gasps for breath in between notes and the rattling of the snare wires under the drum could all be pinpointed with ease. As I listened to this track, I could not help but envision the scene in "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" as Will Ferrell's character slurps up the vodka through the flute and shoots fireballs out of it while stepping on tables. Somehow, I think Dolphy had a slightly tamer performance when he played the flute at a small club.
After having a spiritual experience watching the summer Olympics two years back in high definition, I could not wait for the winter Olympics this year. Having 1080i video clarity and 5.1 surround sound is the only way to watch sports. I began by watching the women's Alpine downhill. The beeps of the electronic starter gates and the chatter of the coaches giving last-minute tips as the skiers shot out of the gates filled me with a sense of the reality of the environment. Cowbells and air horns were dispersed in the surrounding corners of the room behind me. The commentators dominated the center channel, while the screeching of the skis across the icy slopes glided from the left to right front speakers smoothly. Although television broadcast isn't the fidelity standard for which to exclusively evaluate electronics, I felt that this even warranted a look, as it's what people really watch. The subtle details were captured nicely and had all the necessary impact to bring this event right into your home. The RMB-1077 did a great job providing a clear and impactful experience.
"Last Action Hero" (Columbia/TriStar Home Entertainment) has everything you could ever ask for in an action film. With guns, a high body count, lots of one-liners and Arnold Schwarzenegger, this film is full of surprises. With Arnold, one can safely assume that this film has an abundance of explosions and machine gun fire. Staying true to that statement, the opening scene features a psychotic killer who fires on panicked police and then Jack Slater (Schwarzenegger) appears to save the day (the opposite of his performance as California governor). As Jack makes his entrance, he walks on the roofs of the squad cars up to where the police chief is commanding the scene. The bending and warping of metal and the crushing of glass as he walks sounded real and was placed perfectly in my room. The liquid sounds of the effects as interpreted by the RMB-1077 had clearly brought me into the moment of the movie. The scene where the villain's truck plays chicken with Jack featured a monstrous series of explosions, then a quiet section of soft dialogue followed by more explosions. The transition from big pounding bass to silence, then back to pounding bass is a lot to ask from many amps, but the RMB-1077 appeared unaffected by the sudden changes in the power demands of the scene. Rotel had exactly these types of situations in mind when they designed this digital amp with the ability to supply lots of power whether in bursts or continuously.

For high school students nationwide, the prom is more than just the most exciting night of the year -- it's become a bonafide rite-of-passage.
However, prom night can have its obvious challenges for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) teens. With instances of anti-gay bullying among teenagers seemingly on the upswing, attending a formal event on the arm of a same-sex date is a risky move -- or, in some schools, simply out of the question.
Still, some teens are taking the risk -- and, in most cases, it's paying off in their favor. In fact, many say that they were one of the first in their respective high schools to attend with a same-sex date. "The dance was a memory that I will live with forever," one lesbian teen tells us. "Not only was it a great experience, but I got to show my pride and take my girlfriend." Prom can be a milestone of its own for other reasons, too -- one teen proclaims he "was finally accepted" after his classmates saw him dancing with his boyfriend.
Yet another gay man had to wait a few extra years after high school, but his dream finally came true through alternative means: "It took me till I was almost 29 but I finally got my prom night! My first prom in general and to take the man I love: priceless."
In honor of prom season, HuffPost Gay Voices is saluting those brave couples who took that risk, either at their own high school dances or at alternative events, with 20 great photos from our readers.
Check out the photos below:

Karl, Nuggets brace for 'doubly important' game tonight against Utah
SALT LAKE CITY – Of all of the stops on the Nuggets' current seven-game road trip, the first game – tonight at Utah – might just be the most important.
The Nuggets and Jazz are separated by one game in the Western Conference standings. That one game difference – Denver is 26-21, Utah is 25-22 – also represents the difference between being in seventh or ninth place in the conference.
Right now, Utah is on the outside of the playoffs, looking-in. A win, however, pulls them even with the Nuggets and would give them the tiebreaker as the winner of the season series. This is the last of three matchups between the two in a series tied at one. The first two games were in Denver. Now, Utah gets the home court advantage.
"I think both teams are kind of in a mode that we know that every game is important," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "For us it's doubly important because it's a road game and a tiebreaker game." Read more…

"Life is deep and simple. Society has made it shallow and complicated."
-Mr. Rogers
I envy my mother's childhood. Growing up in the orchards of East Kelowna, she had one of those childhoods where the kids would hit the countryside shortly after breakfast and stay out until lunch – or maybe supper – or at least until the hunger pangs brought them home. They had no TV, and only a few toys, and occupied themselves inventing games and stories or adventuring.
I grew up in the middle of town, at a time when parents were starting to feel the need to be protective. Not as protective as today, but we certainly couldn't go romping for miles around unaccompanied. And we had a television, which absorbed way too many of our hours than I care to admit. It was a good childhood, overall, but not what one would call enchanted.
Now that I have children of my own, I know I'd like for them to live something – if not comparable to my mother (after all, it is a different time and different part of town), at least something with elements of enchantment. Something heavier on the imagination and adventure filled parts and lighter on the TV/video game/toys-that-do-it-all-for-you parts.
It's why I have a real fondness for a business I discovered about a year ago, called Ellie Bellie Kids. They're an American business that sells kids toys and gear – most hand crafted – that, according to their website, "nurture creativity and independent play."
I learned of them when friend of mine posted on her Facebook page that they were holding a give-away for a superhero cape. I entered. I won.
My son has been wearing it for the last year, and exercising his imagination as he does. In addition to superherodom, it transforms him into royalty, magicianship and, most recently, a butterfly. It has also been a blanket for a stuffed toy picnic. I love that it can be anything and everything. It lets him decide. Not enough toys these days do that.
Recently, Ellie Belly held another giveaway. I entered. I won. This time, my prize was a tutu – just the thing for my daughter. While she's too small still to make the call, I see in her a ballerina, a princess, a flower fairy in her layers of pink and purple tulle.
Today we headed out to save the day in Kelowna's "Cultural District." I brought my camera. We scaled some walls, leapt over some (very small) boulders in a single bound, and generally celebrated being young.
Ellie Bellie Kids might not be a familiar brand here in the Okanagan, but their cape and tutu are very much at home.

Every girl loves make-ups. We all do! I bet in every girl's bag, there is that kit filled with make-ups and other personal hygiene essentials. We can't leave the house without it. And we can't face other people, especially boys, when we do not put something in our face.
Here are the things i put in my make-up kit.
1. Lip stick
Of course, who will leave the house without putting a lip stick? It's crazy if you do! Even if it is just a tint, we love putting something on our dried and boring lips.
2. Mascara
Putting a volume in your eyes will do wonders with a mascara. I suggest you invest in a nice brand and you're good to go!
3. Foundation
Invest in here too. This is the most important of all. One bloggers said that you should invest money on this and even if you have cheaper make-ups, it is okay. The vital thing is, you have a nice foundation.
4. Blush on
Bring that rosy cheeks out! have a nice blush on which complements you skin color.
You can actually buy these in different stores in malls or just check out small business websites who cater to women fashion, clothes, and make-up.

I love treating digestive problems! It gives me the greatest satisfaction. That is because I know that when the digestive system is functioning properly, we have the opportunity to heal many other systems as well. I have studied many different forms of alternative medicine. The common denominator amongst all is that "if the digestive system is not working well, nothing else will".
Poor digestion can also affect many parts of a person's life. Patients with IBS or Crohn's disease, for instance, know where every bathroom from home to destination is located. They have to carry backpacks in their car or with them at all times in case they "have to run". It's a miserable existence!
People suffering with heartburn, reflux, diverticulitis and other problems have their own set of adaptations they make to endure from day to day.
When confronted with digestive symptoms, most people assume that drugs are their only option. However, with drugs, such as acid-stopping medications, digestion is compromised. That means that they only benefit marginally from the foods they eat, since digestion is effectively stopped. All the organs and glands which are dependent upon proper nutrition to function well (which is pretty much all of them!), have to settle for miniscule nutritional support. As a result, their function diminishes. But in the world of drugs, that means you just have to take another drug to manage that problem! It can become an endless cycle.
Drugs are not the only option in addressing digestive problems. There is a lot that can be done to recover proper digestive function without resorting to drugs. Restoring digestive function is key to restoring health anywhere in the body. That is why I like treating digestive problems so much. I can do much to restore health of other systems when I get a person digesting well!
Before coming to see Dr. Carling, I had been suffering for 16 years. I had severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, irritable bladder, poor sleep, thyroid issues and was experiencing irritability and depression. I couldn't stand to be touched, even to breastfeed. My joints ached. I couldn't stand up for more than 5 minutes (couldn't even wash the dishes without pain). I was experiencing incredible excessive fatigue, "fibro-fog", short term memory loss, and I had gained weight as a result of the depression medications I was taking.
The burden on my family was enormous. My health challenges didn't allow me to have as many children as I would have liked. I had to raise my children to deal with how things were on the bad days. We were in chaos. There was no predictability. We couldn't plan on going anywhere or doing anything because my health challenges might make it impossible. I was worried my children didn't understand. I felt very alone. I felt such guilt. I felt like there was such a wall between me and others. I felt such pressure to pretend that I was not sick. I felt like those around me were subconsciously screaming at me to "do better"!
I had tried a variety of treatments, including anti-depressants, Guaifenesin treatment, tranquilizers, sleep medications, and exercise. When I exercised, it knocked me off my feet for the rest of the day. I simply couldn't function after exercising. Nothing was helping, and some of the medications were making my problems worse.
It was my IBS that intensified everything and drove me into Dr. Carling's office. I was absolutely scared to death to do acupuncture – but I was desperate. I was surprised how quickly I responded with the acupuncture – for me it was painless. After my first acupuncture treatment the constant diarrhea was gone. The morning after taking Min-Tran for the first time, I woke up feeling refreshed. I learned that the acupuncture and nutrition were more powerful in combination.
Now, I am able to exercise when I want without sacrificing the rest of my day. I look forward to sound sleep, and no longer wake up feeling like I was run over by a truck. I feel alert when I wake in the morning and am able to plan my mornings. Things are no longer piling up in my life. I am able to keep up with my household, my work, and then exercise at the end of the day. I am able to do threefold what I was able to do before.
Dr. Carling has been a tremendous resource. She is able to understand the implications of being as sick as I was. It's not just compassion. There is a difference between empathy and sympathy. She has empathy. There was no high pressure. She was so encouraging and supportive. She knew how I was feeling and understood why I was feeling that way – it took away some of the guilt. When she says something – she knows it – it's no guesswork. She is very accurate because of her dedication to constant learning. I don't know any other practitioner who has the well rounded education in both conventional and alternative medicine that Dr. Carling has. With Dr. Carling's help I was able to take this big pool of symptoms, identify the source of each and resolve them. It was like peeling away the layers on an onion.
My advice to other patients is to keep moving forward to resolve your health challenges, a layer at a time. When you are feeling discouraged, remember how long it's taken for your health to get where it is, and remember that it takes time to get well. Re-read the literature and testimonials Dr. Carling provided you with. They will re-set you and keep you encouraged. Remember that you are worth it! - Melissa

Research Handbook On EU Legal Legislation
Being an executor isn't straightforward. But not all lawyers are certified to deal with critical fees. Unless a criminal offense is a strict liability crime (which means that no particular mental state is required), statutes sometimes break crimes down into two components: an act (the actus reus") and a psychological state (mens rea"), equivalent to knowingly or recklessly.
EU prison legislation helps to forestall and punish serious offences towards EU law in sure policy areas, such because the protection of the surroundings. A felony, typically called a "high crime," involves critical misconduct that is punishable by dying or by imprisonment of over one 12 months (though the punishment could be lower than one 12 months on the decide's discretion).
In juvenile courts, prison fees result in an adjudication somewhat than prosecution, because the aim of juvenile courts is to rehabilitate, moderately than to punish. Crimes that do not amount to felonies are sometimes referred to as misdemeanors. In virtually each state within the U.S., felonies carry a penalty of one year or more, depending upon the actual nature of the offense and the jurisdiction the place the felony crime was dedicated.
In addition to required courses in Criminal Legislation and Evidence, Colorado Legislation affords a wide range of electives from criminal process to advanced programs in white collar crime, pc crime, and different matters. In distinction, felony crimes involve extra serious offenses.
This meant that the accused couldn't be charged with both crimes. To forestall criminals from misusing those EU nations with essentially the most lenient authorized systems and 'safe havens' from appearing, a certain approximation of national laws could be crucial.

When we visit some place new we want to enjoy that trip by having fun. Even when we visit a place we have visited before we want to make sure that visit is enjoyable by doing something fun. Sure, not all of us may want to have fun as in going to places or engaging in some fun activities such as having some amazing sea rides. However, sometimes, even when we want to engage in such activities we are unable to as we do not have enough money to spend on those adventures.
Nevertheless, with great Dubai attractions deals that are available to anyone who knows where to look one can now actually enjoy themselves in Dubai by taking part in a number of sea activities.
Those of who would like to have an adventure time by spending some time working the muscles in the sea can go for Kayaking. If you want to just kayak and enjoy the view you can take part in some light hearted Kayaking at Jumeirah beach. If you are more for something that is more rigorous and demanding you can join a two hour guided Kayak tour. Such a trip is for those who find happiness in engaging in some activity that can tire them.
Then, there are Dubai scuba diving deals which let two people enjoy a peek at the sea life, underwater, in the Arabian Gulf, at the price of one. We all know the underwater experience in sea is much different from swimming on the surface. While you will be lolling or fighting against waves on the surface, underwater you will not have to fight with waves all the time. You will be able to enter a serene world with the right equipment and the guidance of someone who knows the art of going underwater.
Cruises and Fishing
For those who just want to have some fun on a boat without swimming in the sea or going for any adventure time, a cruise of Dubai is a wonderful opportunity. You can engage in such a two hour shared cruise of seeing iconic landmarks in Dubai if you have chosen the right offer. At the same time, those who want to enjoy some peaceful time fishing can engage in a four hour shared fishing trip with another friend or a family member just for the price of one.

BALTIMORE - After reviewing Monday's fiery argument between Joe Girardi and Orioles manager Buck Showalter, Major League Baseball has determined that neither skipper will face discipline for the flap.
Showalter was enraged when he saw Girardi chirping at Baltimore third-base coach Bobby Dickerson in the first inning of Monday's series opener at Camden Yards. Girardi suspected the Orioles of stealing signs.
After the inning, Showalter came charging out of the O's dugout and made a throat-slash gesture while also telling Girardi to talk to him, not his third-base coach. Umpires got in front of both Showalter and Girardi and players from both sides came out of the dugouts, too. Umps also warned both teams.
Girardi hasn't said much about the incident since. "It was something that I saw," Girardi said after Monday's game. "I'm going to leave it at that."
Some feel that baserunners or base coaches giving away pitch type or pitch location is cheating, though others believe it's a part of the game.

It's been a while since I've checked my credit history so today I decided to get my free credit report from annualcreditreport.com®. For those not familiar with it, it's a website that the three credit reporting agencies (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) have set up based on a requirement from the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Using this website, you can link to the three agencies and get a free copy of your credit report from them once a year.
Bear in mind that once you link to one of the agencies, they will try everything in their power to entice you to spend money for other products (credit score, customized reports, etc.). You don't have to do any of this. Stay focused. Just keep following the small links to get your free report. I always save the report as a pdf file. If you don't have adobe creator then just copy and paste the html page to a Word (.doc) or Text (.txt) file.
Beware of Unofficial Websites Like FreeCreditReport.Com
As you're probably aware of, there are many website out there that will sell you your credit report. Here's a word from the Federal Trade Commission on these unofficial sites:
"Many other websites claim to offer "free credit reports," "free credit scores," or "free credit monitoring." But, be careful. These sites are not part of the official annual free credit report program. And in some cases, the "free" product comes with strings attached. For example, some sites sign you up for a supposedly "free" service that converts to one you have to pay for after a trial period ends. If you don't cancel during the trial period, you may be agreeing to let the company start charging fees to your credit card.
These sites often look like the official site at annualcreditreport.com®. Some use terms like "free report" in their names; others have website names that purposely misspell annualcreditreport.com® in the hope that you will mistype the name of the official site. Some of these "imposter" sites direct you to other sites that try to sell you something or collect your personal information."
Get Your Credit Report Three Times a Year for Free From AnnualCreditReport.Com®
Since the three nationwide consumer reporting agencies are all required to provide you with a free copy every year, it's a good idea not to pull them all at once.* Instead, it might be best to get your free report from each of the agencies at varying times during the year. For instance, you could pull one in late January (shortly after the holiday season), another in July (after returning from a vacation), and the last sometime in the fall (just for kicks).
*If this is your first credit history check or you are about to apply for a mortgage or you suspect fraud in your credit history then you will want to get all three at once. The three times a year method is just for general monitoring purposes.
So, what about your credit score? Can you get that for free? Learn how by visiting our free credit score providers page.

A new study, soon to be published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, shows that a mama's mood swings during and after pregnancy can continue to affect how her baby develops after it's born. Over the years, research has proven more and more how important a healthy womb environment is. Babies, yet to be born, can still form food preferences in the womb and brain structure can be altered, based on what their mother eats. BPA crosses the placenta, affecting babies in the womb, and of course we've known for a long while about how the effects of smoking, drinking alcohol and taking other drugs can cause harmful developmental problems. But the research on how depression affects babies is still in the early stages. There hasn't been a ton of clear-cut evidence about mother depression and how it may affect babies. During this new study, researchers recruited pregnant women and checked them for depression before and after they gave birth. After the babies were born, the researchers further tested the babies to see how they were developing. What the study found is that pregnant mother depression did affect babies, but not as much as if the babies' environment was consistent before and after birth. In other word, babies who developed the best, had mamas who were healthy during pregnancy and after birth and babies whose mothers were depressed before birth and stayed depressed afterward, which is unexpected. The babies who experienced slower development had environments consisting of changing conditions. For example if a mother wasn't depressed during pregnancy but became depressed after or if a mother went from depressed during pregnancy to not depressed after, the babies had slower development. These are obviously strange findings, because how one might read them is that if a mother is depressed during pregnancy, she better stay that way after the baby arrives in order to allow for proper development. However, Curt A. Sandman of the University of California-Irvine study notes:
"A more reasonable approach would be, to treat women who present with prenatal depression. We know how to deal with depression. The problem is, women are rarely screened for depression before birth. In the long term, having a depressed mother could lead to neurological problems and psychiatric disorders."This isn't the final word. According to researchers, it will take years of research to figure out exactly what having a depressed mother means to a child's long-term health. Right now though, you can learn more about what causes depression in mothers and how to prevent it. Read the following for tips... Most important: Don't leave your moods up to your health care provider. Studies show that far too many health care providers DO NOT screen for depression. If you feel stressed or depressed, talk to your doctor or midwife about it.

RICHMOND — Gov. Robert F. McDonnell on Friday reappointed Helen E. Dragas to a second four-year term on the University of Virginia's governing board, saying that the embattled board leader could help the school move past its recent leadership crisis.
Dragas drew fierce criticism this month for orchestrating the ouster of the school's popular president, Teresa Sullivan. On Tuesday, Dragas reversed course and voted as part of a unanimous Board of Visitors to reinstate Sullivan. As the board chairman, Dragas holds the title of rector.
Her reappointment could raise questions about whether board rifts that opened up during the leadership crisis could reemerge in coming years, whether Sullivan would be able to work with Dragas after all that had transpired and how those dynamics would affect the university's efforts to face long-term challenges.
McDonnell (R) and Sullivan brushed aside those questions.
"I am . . . concerned that the first female rector seemed to become the sole target of recent criticism,'' the governor said in a statement. "While there is no doubt that the board made several mistakes in its actions, which it has publicly admitted, this is not a time for recrimination. It's a time for reconciliation."
Aside from Dragas, McDonnell largely remade the board Friday when he appointed five new members — nearly a third of the 17-member board that oversees the state's flagship university.
"Governor McDonnell used great wisdom in appointing these members to the university's board," Sullivan said in a statement, "and I am grateful for his understanding of the challenges facing higher education. This is a group of distinguished individuals — from higher education and technology to government and health care — who will be able to hit the ground running."
Sullivan's statement did not mention Dragas, but the president sent the rector a bouquet and congratulatory note Friday morning.
Dragas, a Virginia Beach developer, was appointed to the board in 2008 by McDonnell's Democratic predecessor, Timothy M. Kaine. Many Sullivan supporters had been demanding that Dragas step down or McDonnell not reappoint her.
McDonnell's appointments take effect Sunday, but the General Assembly is required to hold a confirmation vote in January. Some lawmakers question whether Dragas could secure enough votes.
Dragas was named rector in 2011, a position the board bestowed on her. She will hold the title for another year.
Friday's announcement drew swift condemnation from some quarters.
"I can't understand why anybody would think this is a good idea'' economics professor James Harrigan said. "I can't understand why Helen Dragas would think this is a good idea."
"I'm absolutely shocked," said Joel Voss, 31, a graduate student in politics who helped coordinate the campaign for Sullivan's reinstatement. "It's clear that the University of Virginia community does not have confidence in her. . . . I don't think we can forgive and forget."
But some of the anger toward Dragas and her allies on the board subsided this week after the board rescinded the forced resignation of Sullivan.
"The most important thing was to get Terry back," said John Simon, the university provost, who is Sullivan's top academic deputy.
In a statement issued Friday, Dragas thanked McDonnell.
"Each of us on the board looks forward to working in a constructive and inclusive way with President Sullivan, along with students, faculty, alumni, and staff on tackling the broad challenges that face the university,'' she wrote. "Together, I'm confident that we can preserve and enhance U-Va.'s greatness for present and future generations."
The board has drawn intense scrutiny in recent weeks after the surprise removal of Sullivan — and the even more surprising reinstatement after protests on the historic campus in Charlottesville.
Governors generally appoint supporters and donors to fill about 200 seats on the governing boards that oversee the state's universities — among the most coveted seats they can offer.
Friday's names included friends but also educators, marking a change for the board.
McDonnell appointed Frank B. Atkinson, a longtime lobbyist and Republican activist, and Bobbie Kilberg, chief executive of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, who serves as a top donation bundler for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Both are McDonnell advisers who have donated tens of thousands of dollars to the governor, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonpartisan tracker of money in politics.
He also appointed Linwood Rose, outgoing president of James Madison University; Edward Miller, an ex-officio U-Va. board member and former chief executive of Johns Hopkins Medicine; and Victoria Harker, chief financial officer for Gannett and chairman of the U-Va. Alumni Association.
Members, who may serve no more than two four-year terms, are not paid.
State university boards wield enormous power in hiring and firing the president, setting tuition rates, managing finances and approving faculty tenure.
Two members — medical executive W. Heywood Fralin, who helped organize Sullivan's reinstatement, and lawyer Glynn D. Key — were not eligible for reappointment. Investor Robert D. Hardie was not reappointed to a second term.
McDonnell also filled the remainder of Mark J. Kington's term after the vice rector resigned from the board last week, and a new board seat was created by the General Assembly.
McDonnell has said he looks for board members who share his goals of reducing college costs, increasing slots for in-state students and making schools more efficient. He has not generally reappointed board members selected by Kaine, but Dragas is an exception.
He had threatened to fire the entire board last week if it did not resolve the turmoil at the school, using a rarely used state law. Days later, the board reinstated Sullivan.
The board will meet to pick a new vice rector at its next meeting, likely at a retreat scheduled for mid-July.
McDonnell also asked Leonard Sandridge, a former U-Va. vice president, and Bill Goodwin, a former board member, to serve as senior advisers to the board.
Daniel de Vise and Jenna Johnson contributed to this report.
