Top 10 Sleep Secrets:
The secret to a good night's sleep begins with what you do at bedtime. We call this your bedtime ritual. Here for the first time is a list of gentle suggestions with more on the way, just for you, made by us, the First Ladies of Sleep.
Well yet everyone know that how long does cialis 20mg last found with ease in the Internet. In specific on our website it is full of it. But you forget and constantly you ask.
1. Take a warm shower or bath.
We like Dr. Bronner's liquid soap in lavender. The aromatherapeutic aspects of nature's tranquillity flower will settle your senses while the pure castile soap caresses your skin. A warm bath before bedtime not only warms your body and soul, but gives your brain a signal that sleep is nigh. There's no escaping now...
2. Slip into some cozy socks.
Socks may not seem so sexy, but neither are cold feet. They can keep you up. Rub those cold tootsies up against your partner and you might make a fast enemy. We say, try the extra layer of warmth. It works, even in the summertime. It's also a favorite sleep secret of fitness guru and creator of Bedtime Network's "Night Moves," Elisabeth Halfpapp.
3. Start "Happy Hour" earlier
Start your "Happy Hour" a little earlier so that you're not having that cocktail too close to bedtime.
Alcohol is a stimulant that will relax you first (and wake you later!). Shaken or stirred, don't let your good times interfere with your zzzs.
4. Chillax with music
Chillax with fifteen minutes every night of our musical sleep solution, Bedtime Beats – The Secret to Sleep. This may sound self-serving (!), but it really works. Just 15 minutes of classical or jazz music has been proven to make a difference in your sleep quality. For ultimate sound and comfort, we also recommend Bedphones, perfect for undercover listening enjoyment!
5. Grandma's tea time remedy is still a goodie.
Try a warm cup of chamomile with your quiet meditation and just try and tell us that it doesn't make a difference! Our favorite sleep doctors recommend that you limit your caffeine intake (try to avoid the stuff after noon). Of course, it's not just chamomile. Mix it up with other flavors. We like Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Vanilla, Peppermint and David's Tea (Organic Mother's Little Helper blend)
6. Develop a wardrobe of sleep masks.
The "First Ladies of Sleep" dress like "bedtime super heroes," according to their husband (and who doesn't want to be a bedtime superhero?) Sleep masks can be very sexy, you know. Silky and sexy, we love these masks by Chris Notti also available at Madison Avenue's chic emporium, Zitomer.
7. Try a "His and Her" foot massage!
Take a load off your tootsies and those of your loved ones by rubbing out the day's woes. Got no one to share the experience with? That's ok. This is one bedtime ritual that you can also practice alone. Our favorite cream? We like rich, winter friendly quality of Nuxe's "Reve de miel."
8. Party like a rock star...well sort of...
We're talking about wearing some low blue light glasses. They have been found to increase melatonin production before bedtime by blocking out blue light. Where does blue light come from? Umm....well, for starters, it comes from the sun, but it's also coming off your computer screen, television, iPhone, iPad, and basically any backlit device. Limiting blue light before bedtime is critical to a good night's sleep. You might look a little freaky, but you'll be sleeping like a baby before everyone else, and that's no con job.
9. Sex at bedtime.
A well-known secret to men and Cosmo's Helen Gurley Brown (!), we recommend more women come around to this true sleep enhancer.
10. Dial into your diary.
If an unquiet brain won't let you rest, we suggest a diary at your bedside. Write it down, take a deep breath, close the lights and put your head back down on the pillow. Moleskin notebooks are discreet and portable. No one will suspect that this is your book of bedtime secrets. (Slips easily it into your handbag too!).

Catholic-Jewish Ties Hit Choppy Waters
The Vatican's top liaison to Jews has strongly criticized "Jewish agencies" for damaging Catholic-Jewish relations with "aggressive attitudes" against the Church, and has declared that the premier Jewish international interfaith umbrella group is dead.
Edward Cardinal Cassidy, president of the Vatican's Commission on Religious Relations with the Jews, directed his most forceful criticism at one of the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultation's "largest members," charging the group with being "involved in a systematic campaign to denigrate the Catholic Church."
An American Church spokesman told The Jewish Week that Cardinal Cassidy was referring to the World Jewish Congress, the feisty organization led by billionaire liquor manufacturer Edward Bronfman Sr., best known for leading the Swiss-Nazi gold restitution effort.
"It's specific to the World Jewish Congress," said Dr. Eugene Fisher, director of Catholic-Jewish relations for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Fisher accused the WJC of issuing a series of "nasty and false" pamphlets in recent months that he says casts aspersions on the Vatican and Pope John Paul II.
The Catholic-Jewish dispute comes even as preparations are being made for John Paul II to visit Jerusalem next year for the first time as Pope as part of a millennium celebration.
Cardinal Cassidy's dismissal of IJCIC, a 30-year-old group comprised of the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, the WJC, and the congregational and rabbinic arms of Judaism's three major denominations, is also shedding light on the internal fractures in the Jewish interfaith effort as its leaders are disagreeing over the need to continue IJCIC.
The rift is expected to grow larger as Cardinal Cassidy and some Jewish interfaith experts are calling for new theological interfaith discussions — an activity from which Orthodox Jews are prohibited.
Fisher expounded on Cardinal Cassidy's attack against the WJC, which has been vocal in recent weeks in calling for the Vatican to open its World War II archives to determine the Catholic Church's actions during and after the Holocaust.
The WJC's recent publications, Fisher said, falsely claims the Church was involved in conspiracies after World War II to help Nazis escape Europe, criticizes the Vatican's 1998 "We Remember" document on the Shoah and wrongly attacks Pope John Paul II.
"It's canard after canard, attack after attack, falsehood after falsehood," he said. "Cardinal Cassidy sees this as a campaign to vilify the Roman Catholic Church and this Pope," referring to John Paul II, who most experts agree has taken historic steps to improve Catholic-Jewish relations during his 20-year reign.
"I think Cardinal Cassidy is quite rightly pointing out that this has gone beyond civil discourse, with these attacks on the motivations and intentions of John Paul II," Fisher said of Cardinal Cassidy's speech, delivered at an interfaith forum in Baltimore last month sponsored by the AJCommittee, the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
(Cardinal Cassidy could not attend the Feb. 17 conference due to illness. The speech was presented by a Vatican official, Monsignor John Radano.)
But WJC executive director Elan Steinberg questioned Fisher's identification of his group as the one Cardinal Cassidy meant.
"I certainly don't know who Cardinal Cassidy was referring to. I think the remarks of Mr. Fisher are meant to be a provocation," Steinberg said.
"Mr. Fisher has made specific accusations that we are engaged in a campaign to denigrate, that our policy papers are hate literature. These are shocking pronouncements from somebody charged with fostering Catholic-Jewish relations."
Steinberg said the only campaign his organization is engaged in "is one for historical truth."
"We are on a campaign for laying out all the facts of the Holocaust, and we are repeating the call of the Jewish world for the Vatican to open up its archives to independent scholarly inspection," he said.
Besides naming the WJC, Fisher was not able to identify which other "Jewish agencies" Cardinal Cassidy was referring to in the speech when he wrote: "The reaction within the Catholic community to recent aggressive attitudes manifested in our regard by certain Jewish agencies is the cause of my concern."
Cardinal Cassidy added: "Jewish responses to what we seek to do to improve our relationship are often so negative that some now hesitate to do anything at all for fear of making the situation worse."
Cardinal Cassidy could not be reached for clarification about which groups he meant.
But Father Remi Hoeckman, secretary of Cardinal Cassidy's Vatican commission, headquartered in Vatican City, told The Jewish Week: "The organizations which the cardinal had in mind have very well understood whom he was referring to."
Jewish defense groups reacted strongly, but in different ways, to Cardinal Cassidy's remarks.
Abraham Foxman, national director of the ADL, said he was "flabbergasted" by Cardinal Cassidy's accusations.
"I don't know where he comes to these judgments and conclusions," Foxman said.
He retorted that the Vatican is "hypersensitive" and "overreactive" to Jewish criticism of such recent actions as the canonization of Jewish-born nun Edith Stein, its Holocaust document or plans to bring several key World War II-era Catholic figures — including Pope Pius XII — into sainthood.
"We have a right to ask questions. We respect the fact that the Pope is infallible to the Church, but he is not in the Jewish community," Foxman said.
Rabbi A. James Rudin, head of interreligious affairs for the AJCommittee, said he is very concerned about Cardinal Cassidy's charges and is calling a summit of Jewish interfaith experts next month to discuss them.
In his speech, Cardinal Cassidy said he is sounding "a signal of alarm for Catholic-Jewish relations," said Rabbi Rudin. He added that Catholics involved in interfaith affairs are fed up with "negative" Jewish responses to Church actions.
"Catholics who for many years have been engaged in promoting Jewish-Catholic relations have come to me to express their dismay at what is happening and their loss of interest in continuing along this chosen and I believe blessed path," Rabbi Rudin said.
Perhaps most stunning was Cardinal Cassidy's declaration that IJCIC was dead.
"Our partner in dialogue for so many years, the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultation is no longer in existence," Cardinal Cassidy announced.
Seemingly explaining the cause of its demise — the barbs from the WJC — Cardinal Cassidy added: "One of [IJCIC's] largest members is involved in a systematic campaign to denigrate the Catholic Church."
Rabbi Rudin said he agreed in principle with Cardinal Cassidy. "De facto, he's right — it's very, very moribund," he said.
Both Rabbi Rudin and Foxman agreed that IJCIC has outlived its usefulness.
"It's not necessary," Foxman said. "I don't care about it." He added that the ADL and other groups can fill the gap individually.
The WJC's Steinberg, however, disputed Cardinal Cassidy's pronouncement. "That's news to me and it's an insulting remark. WJC is a member of IJCIC and as far as I know, they and other members also retain their standing in this body."
Cardinal Cassidy in his speech said he was not happy about going public with the Vatican's concerns, which have been discussed privately for many months, but felt it crucial.
"We expect and hope that the Jewish partner will at least show us respect. You can hardly claim to respect someone if at every possible opportunity you are ready to criticize that person," he said, "even without making a real effort to understand or appreciate the position of that other partner."
Foxman said the Vatican dialogue is in more serious trouble than he thought.

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, you can rob certain stores simply by pointing a gun at the store owner. Robbing stores is required for 100% completion, but it allows give you a nice amount of money, especially if you're just starting off in the game.
1Obtain a gun with a lock-on target mechanism. Suitable guns include pistols, sub-machine guns, or shotguns.
2Drive to a store that can be robbed. There are 15 stores to be robbed. See the next section for a detailed list of available stores.
3Walk into the store and find the store owner. He is usually wearing a brown shirt and glasses and found behind the checkout counter.
4Aim your gun at him but do not shoot. He will raise his hands in fear. A glowing stack of money will appear on the counter. The longer you keep aiming at him, the more money you'll get. However, you'll also get a wanted level. One stack won't do anything. Two will give you a one-star wanted level. Three stacks will give you two stars, and finally four stacks (the most) will result in a three-star wanted level.
5Collect the money and quickly leave the store. You only have to take one stack for it to count on your stats, but you can get away with $1000 if you're able to shake off your three-star wanted level.
6Get rid of your wanted level. You can visit a Pay 'n Spray, find police bribes, change your clothes, or just wait it off (if it's only one star).Advertisement

Campaign Experiments in Google AdWords: The Easy Way to Test
Need a quick and easy way to conduct a test in one of your online campaigns – a landing page, bidding strategy or keywords? AdWords campaign experiments are simple to set up, fast, and best of all — free. No need to pay for external software or services.
Here's how it works – select the campaign you want to run an experiment on. On the top right, select "Create new" from the "Drafts" drop down menu.
Create a draft, setting up the variables you want to test. For example, one of our clients is currently testing a landing page design, to try to boost conversions. In this case (as in most testing), the ads, keywords, bidding strategy, basically everything in the draft stays the same as the control. The only variable is the link to the new landing page.
Name your draft:
This creates a copy of your original campaign. You can then make changes in the draft to the variables that you want to test.
Once you've made changes to your draft and everything's set up the way you want, you can then create your campaign experiment. Click on the blue "Apply" button and then select "Run an experiment."
On the next screen, you decide how long you want it to run – start and stop dates. You can also decide what percentage of traffic you want to go to the experiment. In our case, we're splitting the traffic 50/50 between the experiment and the control. But there may be cases where you want a higher percentage to go to the control or test. You can decide.
Creating an AdWords campaign experiment
Once you have your settings, click "Create" and let the experiment begin!
To view the results of your campaign experiment in adwords, select it from the campaign menu on the left side bar:
Here's what your results will look like:
After you've decided on a winner of your campaign experiment, it's simple to apply the result to the entire campaign. If your control is the winner, you simply turn off the experiment, pushing all traffic back to the control. If the test wins, you can click the "Apply" button and the experiment settings will be applied to the entire campaign. Voila!
Side note – you may not see the traffic split exactly the way you designate. For example, in our landing page test, even though we set it up to split traffic evenly, the control portion received a higher percentage of impressions. Here's the explanation from our trusty Google reps:
"When you setup a 50/50 split, or 'even ad rotation' in a Campaign settings, this only assures that you are going to enter the same number of auctions. If you run a campaign experiment in adwords and are not seeing even serving between the control and experiment, that means that the one with the higher volume is simply doing better. Typically this is reflected by a higher CTR in the portion that is winning more auctions (as we see here). What we can assure you is that we are entering the experiment and control into the same number of auctions and what happens after that shows them how effective their test was."
So keep that in mind as you're evaluating your campaign experiment results. For help setting up campaign experiments in AdWords, or any other online marketing testing, feel free to get in touch with me, or any other AIM team member.

Infections caused by microbes are harmful to health and expensive, with absenteeism caused by sickness costing individuals and businesses. However, door contact surfaces can be protected from microbes. ABLOY ACTIVE is an infection-reducing antimicrobial solution for door accessories such as handles, pulls, panic bars and cylinders. Active destroys 99 percent of harmful bacteria, including the MRSA hospital bacteria, Listeria and Salmonella, and is 100 percent safe for the user. The highest level of microbial protection can be achieved by combining Abloy Active and door automatics, which provides a hands-free door opening solution. The power of antimicrobial silver ABLOY ACTIVE – Silver particles in the paint applied to the door fittings create the antimicrobial barrier. Silver is nature's own active bacteria-killing substance, and its antimicrobial properties have been known since the Middle Ages. Silver is proven and established as a safe and effective substance used in coating materials. The active antimicrobial particles are added during the manufacture of the paint and it remains active as long as the paint lasts on the door fittings – both on the outer surface and the inner surface where scratches occur. ACTIVE – the coating remains antimicrobial and hygienically protective, regardless of cleaning cycles.

Did you know, it is optimal to prune trees while they are dormant?
- We prefer to prune tree during the optimal time of year; December through February. We are currently full for the winter. –Certainly, there is some wiggle room throughout the year.
What to look for, to determine if your tree should be pruned, or if it is in decline (dying):
- Trees that are 30% in decline (leafless), are terminal. It would be a waste of money to prune a dying tree.
- Tip die-back, is known as "flagging". Flagging is a sign that the vascular system has been compromised. It is a major sign a tree is severely stressed.
What is the difference between an estimate, a quote, and consultation?
- An estimate can be a broad range of cost. We usually only give estimates if a customer is in a real hurry or simply doing some long-term planning. People seeking estimates may not have a serious or urgent need for services. An estimate is usually done with little-to-no time to factor in variables that can determine a real cost. An estimate is typically provided without an onsite visit.
- A quote is a fixed rate for services proposed, and negotiated, between the contractor and customer. We prefer to provide quotes to customers that are in the position to use our services, in the near future.
- When a free onsite appointment is scheduled the primary objective of discussion is about the immediate need a customer has. We like to stay on topic, so way we can respect your valuable time and not cause you to fall behind in your schedule.
- A consultation is a customer seeking advice, information, and/or opinion from a professional relevant to his/her expertise.
- As much as I would like to donate free time towards consultations, I can no longer afford to do so.
- I can offer remote/online consultations at a cost. This is the easiest way to meet your needs and keep up with the demand for advice, information, long-term planning, etc…
- Onsite consultations are more thorough and insightful. We can typically cover a lot of different topics in a short period of time.
- Ask for our rates for remote/online consultation versus onsite consultations.
Here are a few stressors that are common in Longmont trees:
- Squirrel Damage. Squirrels chew the bark and cut off the vascular system in trees, and can kill trees
- Fungal and bacterial growth in the cambium of a tree clog up the flow of water and food to the tree, thus kill trees
- Any oozing, dark or light colored spots, blistered bark, or smelly branches are an indicator that the tree has a pathogen, that will likely kill the tree.
- Insect Damage. Certain insects chew inside of the tree and cut off the vascular system of the tree (i.e. Emerald Ash Borer).
- Let's not forget about pale yellow/green trees. A tree in a state of chlorosis is a dying tree. The tree is losing the ability to produce chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is there to capture sunlight to convert energy into food. Alkaline soil is the true problem. Alkaline soil binds up the available nutrients to the tree. No matter how much product or human intervention has been done for chlorotic trees, I have see 100% of them die. Because there is human intervention it delays the death of the tree; yes. But, the tree still dies. If your tree can no longer produce chlorophyll and the leaves are wilted, and are falling off; the tree cannot come back. It is dead.
Cost Benefit Analysis; Pruning versus Removal/Replacement:
- Save yourself money. Do not prune a tree that is severely stressed. You will pay out nearly 100% the amount you would, if you simply removed the tree in the first place.
- Pruning out large portions of a dying/diseased tree will not slow down the rate of decline, nor will it reverse symptoms. In most situations, pruning out large dead branches can require technical skill and labor to be accomplished. This type of work is expensive… and still will require the tree to be removed.

By Lee Rasizer, Public Relations Coordinator
Baking got a rise out of Paula Richard for many years, not the other way around.
Experiments in dough were replete with woe. A lopsided cake here. A lopsided cake there.
Her culinary coach – young grandson Kaleo – wouldn't let her get down, even as these failures in years spanned nearly a half-dozen.
Early on, Kaleo would say things like, "No, Grandma …" or "Doesn't taste good …"
He even uttered, "Bad, Grandma," after some taste tests.
Undeterred, Richard kept at it, keeping her cool with the oven humming 350 degrees
She did so, in part, by focusing on one of little Kaleo's favorite slogans, which accentuated the positive:
"Try again. Try again. Try again"
She did, and now, Richard owns a small pastry business that she runs out of her home, called, to no one's surprise, 'Kaleo's Kitchen.'
It's a start-up. Richard bakes "when the spirit moves me," something that is happening less frequently while aggressively pursuing a degree at age 49 at Community College of Aurora.
Her first large-scale public venture in the baking world will be as a vendor at the Small Business BIG IMPACT Expo at the Adams County Fairgrounds in Brighton on Dec. 14.
"It's exciting, scary for Richard, but she says, "I'm delighted to be doing it."
And, like many of the pursuits that have filled her nearly five decades, it took dogged perseverance to get to that high-minded state.
Try again? Richard doesn't know where she would be without doing just that, not just in baking, but in life.
She once was a teen mom, lost in the world after her mother's death. Back then, she didn't even know how to pay a bill, much less be a mom on her own. The chain reaction was a common one: drugs, bad crowds. But Shayla, that little girl she had as a little girl, and the love of her sister, aunt and others pulled her through that, and worse to come.
Dog tired after 15 years as a Certified Nursing Assistant, Paula Richard searched for a new path in 2003 by enrolling at CCA for the first time.. She had a Criminal Justice degree in mind. Yet life, once again, got in the way.
Her young son, now 15, took her to hell and back. She was with him every step of the way, attempting to change a path of inexplicable, out-of-control behavior. He would run off. Set things on fire. Hit other children in class. Richard ended her scholarly pursuits cold turkey to seek answers and deal with the fallout. It went on this way for more than 10 years.
"You know how they say it takes a village to raise a child?" Richard asked. "It's taken a whole city to raise that kid."
Her son was later diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He's now attending Montbello High School and doing much better with medication, therapy, and knowledge about the illness. It also took the help of Paula's older sister Pam and an aunt, but Paula endured.
"We lost a lot of stuff, material things, because I didn't have a job and had to end up selling things to make ends meet. We had to relocate. There were a lot of painful things that transpired out of it, but in the long run, it was worth it, because he's a pretty healthy kid these days."
Richard herself has a pretty healthy outlook these days, too.
With her home life having calmed down – daughter Shayla is pursing a singing career after graduating from the University of Denver -- she recently re-enrolled at CCA for a second time and credits the business courses she's taken for helping her start Kaleo's Kitchen.
Sure, Math has been a bear. It always has been as far as she can remember. She's even had to face failure in the subject. But she keeps trying again, has an associates and eventually bachelor's degree directly in her sights.
"She doesn't give up. She wants her college degree and she wants to graduate from CCA so badly that she's just willing to do anything to get there," Richard's TRiO academic advisor, Eileen Blasius, said. "She's already survived in life. And now she's at this point, and she's still a fighter."
As Richard put it, "I never stop," adding, "I've just learned to hang in there."
She was so moved by the college's help in this phase of her life that during a recent 'Pizza With The President' event at CentreTech campus, Richard broke down in tears of joy relating her story to college Interim President Betsy Oudenhoven.
"First of all, CCA just embraced me," Richard explained. "They weren't biased, prejudiced or any of those negative things. They welcomed me, and they allowed me to learn. The business classes I take, I learned how to do a business plan and establish Kaleo's. Those classes are why I have a business. I don't think if it was for my instructors I would have come this far. They have helped me so much."
The long-term future for Richard's small business is uncertain as she concentrates mainly on academics.
"I like being in the kitchen, making things taste good," she said.
On the other hand, she added with a laugh that meeting her degree goals that would pull her even with daughter Shayla is something that's important to her on a competitive level. She won't let herself fail, that much is clear. But if she stumbles, she'll keep Kaleo's advice in her heart.
Try again. Try again.
"That's it," she responded. "That's it."

Welcome to Kavanaugh Art Gallery
After a lifetime of collecting for the pure joy of it, Dan and Carole Kavanaugh have been offering a wide variety of quality fine art to the general public, the corporate community and collectors as a labor of love since 1989. They pride themselves on having the sort of extraordinary fine arts gallery that you might expect to find on one of the coasts nestled in the heart of Iowa.
Kavanaugh Gallery has a world-class collection of fine art from around the globe with none of the overhead often associated with other locales. In addition to our personal service, perhaps that's one reason why so many of our customers contact us from all across the country for their art purchases. We are almost always able to ship artwork to any location. You may have seen it in Vegas or Hawaii, San Francisco or New York, Santa Fe or Singapore, London or Palm Springs, but when it comes time to purchase that special piece of art by an artist with whom you have fallen in love, we hope you'll want to actually get it from us!
The 9500 square foot Gallery is located along Gallery Row in the historic Valley Junction shopping district in the "old town" section of West Des Moines, Iowa, a community that has seen meteoric growth in the last two decades. Kavanaugh Art Gallery carries investment quality original paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel and mixed media. The Gallery has an extensive selection of sculpture, including one-of-a-kind mobiles. Kavanaugh Art Gallery is also home to many fine limited edition prints, Giclée's, and serigraphs, as well as antique and reproduction prints and posters, including early works on paper.
Kavanaugh Art Gallery maintains an inventory of some 4000 fine art pieces, including over 150 stationary and kinetic sculptures in bronze, wood and stone. The Gallery and its experienced staff assist, recommend and consult both in-home and on-premises whenever or wherever needed or desired. Kavanaugh Art Gallery provides complete fine art services, including appraisals, restoration, conservation framing, installation and lighting, and other services as requested by our clientele.
We also specialize in the purchase and sale of estate art collections and in acquiring artwork for our Gallery's customers. Our clients have learned over the years that if we do not have it -- and we probably do -- we can certainly get it. We routinely participate in art auctions throughout the country and carry works from some of the world's finest artists. Museum quality framing is our specialty and is done on-site.
Our location makes us uniquely and easily accessible from both Interstate 35 and Interstate 80 and our clientele includes many collectors who routinely make the trip from out-of-state to visit our collection in person. We professionally ship anywhere in the world, and children are always welcome (we'll even set them up with crayons so that they can create a work of art while you browse our collection at your leisure).
We invite you stop in and see why Kavanaugh Art Gallery is Iowa's premiere fine arts gallery, share in our passion for fine art, and experience for yourself one of the best kept open secrets in the art community!

I don't know that titles play the number one role in helping readers select their material, but I do know that often, publishers point out changes that might better fit the contents. I've never had an actual original title changed, but I enjoyed a recent article in Reader's Digest that shares the "almost" names of some classic books I'm sure we've all heard of or read. So, how would the original title have affected your choices?
The Strike.......................................became Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
The High-Bouncing Lover.............became The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Atticus............................................became To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Last Man in Europe ................became 1984 by George Orwell
Fiesta .............................................became The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
First Impressions ...........................became Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Catch-11 ........................................became Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
Mistress Mary .................................became The Secret Garden by Frances Burnett
If you want another surprise, go to Amazon and see how the covers have changed over they years and the different versions available. Pretty amazing

Aye, what a tumultuous weekend!
It all began on Thursday, the day of our exam. My classmates and I agreed that this one was a doozie, and we left feeling exhausted and fried. There was no time to rest since we only had two hours to pack and maneuver our way through downtown to get to our bus station. Fortunately, we timed everything correctly and made it to our bus with plenty of time to spare. We were on our way to Puerto Viejo!
I had little part or say in the planning of this weekend's trip, but I don't think it could have been planned any better. The majority of our group stayed in a hostel (yes, a hostel, scaaarrryyy) called Rocking J's. Not only did we read commendable reviews online, we also heard many great things about the place, and when we arrived, we could see why.
For starters, English. I know I'm on a study abroad trip, but you don't value your native tongue until it's spoken to you for the first time in two weeks. Most of the employees at RJ's either came from the U.S./an English-speaking country, or they managed to learn a good bit from their customers.
Also, it was so clean. Granted, hostels are not supposed to be a five-star experience, but ours was pretty clean compared to the ones our other friends stayed in. There were no cockroaches or litter in the rooms, and the hostel had strict behavior codes that they heavily enforced. I'm not big on the hippie/surfer vibe, but it grew on me a little bit during my stay. There's funky artwork and thoughtful poetry painted everywhere amidst the mosaic tile work and swinging hammocks.
You read that correctly. Hammocks.
Now, my roommates and I opted for bunk beds, and others chose twin beds. But I can't knock the hammocks because they're just so comfy. If you opt for a hammock or a room with no lock, you are given a fairly large locker to stash your stuff throughout the day.
And I almost forgot the food. My gosh, I haven't had pancakes that good even in the states! I was extremely reluctant to dine anywhere else. In fact, I don't think I did…
I sort of lost track of time during that weekend, By day, we were either at the beach (no sunburn this time) or meandering through Puerto Viejo, which is a touristy yet charming town that definitely appeals to Americans.
I don't think I've seen darker sand…
At night, we were stupid exhausted, so we'd trudge back to the hostel and eat a late dinner. If we felt up to it, we'd stay up and watch a soccer game with some of the other people staying there. I met an incredible range of folks, from Canada to Germany, Seattle to New Zealand. I enjoyed those nights of sitting in a group at a picnic table, just getting to know each other (and bumming bug spray from each other. My gosh, the mosquitos are terrible in PV!). Sometimes, RJ hosted some fun events, such as a fire show:
That was fantastic.
It seemed as though time had stopped in Puerto Viejo. Now that I think about it, Puerto Viejo is the closest thing to Neverland you'll find outside a book. Everyone of all ages and backgrounds was there, but no one was progressing. Divorcees, high school drop outs, baristas, lawyers, and more had fled there to escape the curse that we call "growing up." Was that a bad thing? Not necessarily. But all children must grow up, so on Saturday afternoon, we packed our things and journeyed home to San José.
Because we hadn't had a "lazy" day yet, my roommates and I decided to separate ourselves and veg out on snacks and Netflix. We only moved from our beds for meals, and that was totally fine by me. This picture of my bestie sums up our day:
Oh yeah, we reached that level of laziness.
Monday came, and we got our test scores back. We were all pleasantly surpassed with A's, but we have our suspicions that our professor took great pity on us. As I sat at my desk and pretended to understand the imperative verbs she kept throwing at us, my mind wondered back to Puerto Viejo, a land of never's. You would never grow up, you were never be bored, you never knew the time…
And you would never let your fears stop you from an adventure.
Be back soon!

Is your Nexus rebooting or losing Wi-Fi connection? This could be why
A security researcher by the name of Bogdan Alecu may have found the cause behind some Nexus devices rebooting or losing Wi-Fi connectivity lately: an SMS vulnerability. The issue, where Nexus devices either reboot or lose Wi-Fi connectivity after receiving a special type of SMS, is caused by a denial-of-service attack contained in the message, the same kind that networks occasionally use to send important alerts direct to the user.
Interestingly enough, Alecu also has a proof of concept app available that protects Nexus devices from this kind of attack, but the issue is a worrying one regardless. The problem lies with Flash SMS, also known as Class 0 SMS, that pop up on the device's screen without being stored in the inbox first. There's several apps available to send these pop-up messages, including one made by the researcher at the heart of all this, which is probably how he discovered the bug. Here's a video that demonstrates the problem in action:
When several of these messages are sent to a Nexus device, the system will often reboot, freeze or crash, or sometimes just switch off entirely. Upon rebooting, the Nexus device may lose connectivity to the Wi-Fi network if it is PIN-protected. The Flash SMS may also cause the Wi-Fi connection to be lost without rebooting or crashing the device, meaning the user won't notice anything is astray until they check their phone's connection status. Restarting usually solves these problems, but a double reboot may be required if Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect on the first try.
According to Alecu, all Nexus devices on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or newer, including the brand new Nexus 5, are exposed to this kind of SMS attack, even if it is relatively unlikely to affect you. Of course, by notifying you of the problem we're also advertising the vulnerability to any pranksters with too much time on their hands. To protect yourself against this kind of attack, you can go and download Alecu's app and complete the self-fulfilling circle. Google were apparently notified a year ago of the problem, but have now said they are looking into it.
Have you experienced this kind of bug on your Nexus? Do you think it's a harmless prank or a serious security flaw?

*What do you do when it feels like no one is supporting you? simple. Go find someone to support. You will reap what you sow…
"To be able to lead others, a man must be willing to go forward alone." – Harry Truman
BONUS: It is really a great encouragement when we know we have the support of our peers and elders. Isn't it? Have you found that to be true?
BUMMER: It is much more difficult when our elders and peers are distant and…or, even more so crushing, …they are disapproving and vocally unsupportive. Have you ever experienced this? ouch. tough place.
If it's gonna be, It's up to me
When you know you are supposed to do something DO IT. Please do not expect someone to do it for you. It is your responsibility to make sure it happens …otherwise, it won't ….at least not thru you. Someone else will do it and you'll be left in the dust of remorse and regret. You will see with your own eyes someone else taking your dream and vision and running with it…..that is because the vision really belongs to God. He is looking and searching for leaders!
The opinions of others should never keep you from being who you are. The opinions of others should never keep you from doing what you know you are supposed to do.
I like what motivational speaker and author Les Brown says about you, "Don't let someone's opinion of you become your reality."
What an empowering and liberating thought!
You are NEVER alone!
If you feel alone you are not. You are never really alone. NEVER. You may think no one will follow you, but if you live out your passions people will follow you. This is because people are so attracted to passion. Passion attracts. Passion attracts the right people. Your passion attracts those who will follow….and btw, that is NOT supposed to be everyone. Joshua only led the nation of Israel. Joshua only leads his people…and You will only lead yours. Make your voice heard so people will hear you and follow.
Joshua had a passion for the Lord. Joshua loved the Lord. Joshua looked first for God. He pursued God's Kingdom first.
How do I know? simple. …so glad you asked. Joshua was successful. Joshua's success is proof that he obeyed the commands of the LORD I have been sharing with you….the commands found in the very first verses of The Book of Joshua!
Joshua would not have been successful had he not been strong and very courageous. It took repetition to infuse this all-important message of confidence and achievement into Joshua…from more than one source…But Joshua did the deal. He didn't just sit around and think about! He had action. He could have sat around and made a bunch of excuses about how his leader was now gone….now what? what can I do? but no! Joshua was smart enough to be able to receive the word of the Lord…to take the word in. ..to meditate on it day and night. Are you?
If you want to experience victory, success, and fulfillment you too must have the passion for the Lord. I recently explained the importance of confirmation and endorsement from man.
BUT, what if there is no man to endorse you? Are you going to sit and wait for someone to come around and make you happy, make you feel loved, make you feel inspired? As business philosopher Jim Rohn says, "What if they don't show up?!"
"What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be." – Ellen Burstyn
You must be like the man David and powerful and gifted leaders found the life-giving pages of the scriptures. You must speak out to yourself.
- Wake up!
- Get up!
- Now!
- Find rest in God!
- God will never leave you or abandon you! Yoo are NOT alone!
- Remember all the benefits of God!
- Remember God's mercies!
- Remember God's Goodness!
- SING of his Power, Might, and Greatness!
- Do not remain silent!
- Do not hide. no.no. no.
- What's with the sadness? Do you not the plans and future The LORD has for you?
- Put all your hope in God.
- God is the one.
- It is not by might, not by power, but the Spirit of GOOOOODDDDDDD!!"
You must make God's words your words….like Jesus did.
When all HELL seems to break out against you, you must find that place in God where you know you are not alone. You must use the faith God has given to you. You must trust God. You cannot base your joy, happiness, and fulfillment on what you see in the circumstances around you. You've got to walk your journey by the empowering and life-giving faith God has so graciously given to you Do not journey by what you natural eyes see. You are of a different world. A different kingdom.There is a deeper level at work. There is an unseen realm where the angels of the Lord are warring for your goodwill.
There is a deeper level at work. There is an unseen realm where the angels of the Lord are warring for your goodwill. Do not be afraid. Be strong and very courageous.
Quotes About Feeling Alone
"The sequence is suffering, insight, will, action, change." -Allen Wheelis
"We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone." – Orson Welles
"If you want to be happy, learn to be alone without being lonely. Learn that being alone does not mean being unhappy. The world is full of plenty of interesting and enjoyable things to do and people who can enrich your life." – Michael Josephson

12 April - New Commander but Bexley police as bad as ever
In recent years Bexley has not been blessed with totally honest senior police officers.
We have had a Commander who took long dinners with the council leader and when that leader was discovered with his hand in the expenses till falsely claimed he was not permitted to accept a crime report that did not come from Bexley council. Bexley council's first priority is always to protect their own, so that never happened.
Then there was another who twice issued harassment warnings against Bexley residents for no other reason than the equally dishonest Teresa O'Neill told them to. There was no investigation and the police had no evidence and it took IPCC intervention before they accepted that they had stepped well outside the law.
When Bexley council was caught up in criminal activities that same Commander at first claimed there was no evidence on which to proceed with an investigation and when that claim was shown to be false there were continuing discussions about whether they might be able to pull the same trick again. They sat on the damning evidence against a Bexley councillor for at least six and possibly eight months doing nothing apart from giving the suspect time to cover his tracks.
That Commander's replacement came up with an excuse for his predecessor's neglect which could not possibly be true and his Detective Sergeant said the reason was "political interference".
When that Commander left the borough he was replaced by one who allowed two of his police constables to make up stories at the request of Bexley council which once again could not possibly be true. He may even have directed them to do so. All are still under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department of Professional Standards although given that the oldest of the complaints is very nearly three years old you may decide to assume that they are having difficulty in coming up with a defence that holds water.
Bexley acquired yet another Police Commander last month and it will be interesting to see if he is as ready to be manipulated as his predecessors were. Early indications are not particularly encouraging.
It concerns the lady who was charged with common assault and arrested at Heathrow Airport perhaps because the police believed over-reacting to that extent might be good for a laugh. The complainant was a member of police staff so the case was being pursued with the sort of vigour others might never see.
The lady was found not guilty at Bromley Magistrate's Court and she complained about the way that Bexley police had dealt with her case. The officers involved agreed among themselves that each of them had behaved impeccably. Apparently dragging passengers from aeroplanes is not unusual in cases of common assault especially when they are heading home to Bexleyheath.
Their victim complained to various places including her MP, David Evennett, and the police assured him that every officer is innocent. The letter was signed by the new Borough Commander Jeff Boothe.
This is an extract from his letter…
Chief Superintendent Boothe cannot know if all his statements are correct but like all his predecessors his priority would appear to be protecting his officers rather than ensuring the law is upheld. Click it to read it all.
If I am asked for comment or advice on letters such as that it takes me well outside my comfort zone so I send them to Mick Barnbrook (retired Bexleyheath Police Inspector) who knows a thing or two about bringing down bent officialdom. As I had hoped he was able to pick more holes in the new Commander's letter to David Evennett than I could ever hope to do.
My gut feeling is that DI Noble put the letter together and Boothe signed it, without knowing or being shown all the facts.
How can Boothe say that the Magistrate did not make any comments about the validity of the witness statements if no police officers were at court and there are no transcripts of the case?
The Magistrate may not have made comments in open court, but that does not mean that he did not have reservations about the evidence being presented by the prosecution, in the form of the three witness statements.
As Boothe is only assuming that the Magistrate did not make any comments or have reservations about the quality of the prosecution evidence he should not use that subjective assumption to reach the conclusion that there is insufficient evidence to substantiate any allegation.
He cannot say that there is insufficient evidence. The evidence to substantiate your allegation is the three witness statements about which the Magistrate appears to have had concerns.
As you are making a serious allegation, I would have thought it perfectly reasonable for the police to contact the Magistrate to find out if he did have doubts about the three witness statements.
In his letter Boothe states that you are unhappy with the investigation into your allegation. The reason that you are unhappy is due to the fact that there has not been any investigation.
Boothe also states in the letter that "the burden of proof remains on the prosecution to prove matters beyond reasonable doubt and is rightly a high standard of proof".
The fact that you were found Not Guilty is in itself evidence that the burden of proof was not good enough and the Magistrate could have only reached that decision based on the three witness statements.
Noble found that the Common Assault allegation was correctly reviewed by an Evidence Review Officer. Surely Noble didn't expect Betez to go against his own original decision, when reviewing the evidence.
Why, when the matter was passed to Betez to investigate, did he not tell a supervising officer that he was not independent and on that basis, have no further involvement in the matter?
Both the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service assumed that the three witnesses were telling the truth when they made their statements and signed the declarations on the statement forms. As the case was thrown out, based on those statements, the Magistrate obviously did not believe the witnesses.
He may have reached that decision on the basis that the witnesses did not corroborate each other. That would be good enough reason to carry out an investigation.
This case was not thrown out on a technical matter. In any case where there is a Not Guilty plea, one side or the other cannot be telling the truth. The Magistrate chose to believe your version of the facts, meaning that he did not believe the prosecution witnesses.
Is it any wonder therefore that the police do not want to investigate their own witnesses?
Now that Boothe has got himself involved, you should write to him and make him aware of all the facts, including the fact that Mrs. M was involved with your husband, together with the fact that the police seriously over reacted by dragging you off of a plane and keeping you in custody for a minor offence, when your address was known and there was no likelihood of you absconding.
Boothe has transferred from The British Transport Police and may not have dealt with this type of complaint before.
Other documents suggests that Bexley police's claimed review of evidence failed to include the witness statements. The accused lady believes that those witness statements were inconsistent. Presumably the Magistrate agreed with her.
Once again we see Bexley police investigating themselves and individual officers being asked to review their own decisions. This case is obviously far from coming to an end so another of BiB's blog indices has been created.

After 8 years in the US Navy, I left in 1968 and began working for a government subcontractor on military projects. One of my first tasks was installing new communications gear at the Naval Communications Station San Francisco (physically in Stockton, CA). The original of a similar copy of this message (received by all NCS units 5 minutes after the initial attack) was framed on the wall of the Commanding Officer's office. I can still remember seeing it for the first time and the emotions it stirred within me. My father and four of his brothers served in the ensuing global conflict
The act, 5 minutes before, that triggered this message began a period in which the American people and their leaders, for the most part, displayed the true strength of character with which we used to be imbued. I was born early in this period (June 1942) and was nurtured by those people. Many of the senior people steering our corporations and governments today also matured during this period.
What happened along the way to turn us into such churlish, avaricious, self-serving antitheses of responsible human beings?
This has to change or we will succeed in doing to ourselves and our country what the Axis Powers never could. This is no drill!

President Trump deputized his chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow and his top trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer to take a fresh look at at re-entering Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, a source with knowledge of the meeting confirmed to Axios. Sen. Ben Sasse told reporters about the meeting earlier today.
Flashback: TPP was spearheaded by Barack Obama and designed in part to counter the rise of China. Trump signed an executive order pulling the U.S. out of the deal in January 2017, and the 11 remaining signatories came to a new agreement in March.

Yesterday, I came across a Flickr page maintained by Justin Cozart, who's been uploading in recent days photos of a Dallas that no longer exists -- as you can tell by the photo of the Baker Hotel above, taken as it was being imploded in June 1980. But not all of Cozart's photos are of long-gone structures: Among his treasures are conceptual renderings for downtown skyscrapers planned but never built, including fascinating what-ifs sketched out by the likes of I.M. Pei and even Frank Lloyd Wright.

When contacted by Unfair Park, Cozart, a fifth-generation Dallasite who works for Mapsco, wrote that the photos and drawings came out of a "big mysterious box that my grandfather had." His reason for sorting through and posting the pictures? Dallas, he says, has "always been a place that has been fairly important to me. Even if it is soulless and corporate, it's my soulless and corporate. I thought it would be fun to post stuff that not a lot of people get to see. It turns out all history books stop after [World War II], you know?" And he promises there's much, much more to come: "I still have, like, eight boxes ... to sort through!" We'll gladly help. --Robert Wilonsky


text: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are an indie/punk band, with roots in traditional rock. They formed while Leo was living in Washington, DC, but now have members based around the northeast United States. Leo came from Bloomfield, New Jersey. The band consists of singer-songwriter and guitarist Ted Leo, guitarist James Canty, bassist Marty 'Violence' Key, and drummer Chris Wilson. After his previous band, Chisel, broke up in the late 1990s, Ted recorded the Tej Leo(?) Rx Pharmacists [sic] album in 1999, followed by the Treble in Trouble EP in 2000. His next album, 2001's The Tyranny of Distance, quickly gained him a cult following and critical praise. Dave Lerner and Chris Wilson became permanent members of the band during the tour that year, as did keyboard player Dorien Garry. James Canty (ex-Nation of Ulysses, Make-Up, etc.) also played with the band during this time. The album Hearts of Oak followed in 2003, which also saw the release of the concert film Dirty Old Town and the Tell Balgeary, Balgury is Dead EP. Garry left the band before the recording of 2004's Shake the Sheets, which has led them into their current setup as a power trio. The new record featured fewer obscure references and more overt political content than his previous releases did, though his music has always been known for its engagement with politics. The band tours extensively around North America. Leo is a strict vegan. His brother Chris Leo is also a singer/songwriter and a member of The Lapse. Ted Leo graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1994 with a degree in English. Read more on Last.fm.

Do you know what Riepl's Law is?
By David Terrar on November 20, 2016
Do you know what Riepl's Law is? Let me explain with a story that threads through my digital life. A couple of week's ago I was listening to BBC 6 Musicon my DAB radio in the jeep while I was picking up my son Rhys from the station. He is 21, just started his first […]

The snow that made a mess of Tuesday morning's commute has turned to sleet and freezing rain, which made for a rough evening commute as well.
Snow will continue to fall, and accumulate, during the evening commute in parts of northern Vermont, northern New Hampshire, and much of Maine. That's where air temperatures will remain well below freezing.
In parts of southern New Hampshire, southern Maine, and areas north and west of Boston in Massachusetts, temperatures will be falling back below freezing. That means anything that melted during the day or fell as rain will re-freeze and create very slick travel during the evening drive.
Track your commute with our traffic map here.
Some freezing drizzle is also likely, adding even more slick areas. Expect similar conditions in parts of northern Connecticut.
Spotty showers will turn to drizzle south and east of Boston, but temperatures there will remain a bit above freezing during the evening commute.
No major problems were reported earlier Tuesday despite the sloppy mix of snow, slush and freezing rain that fell during the morning commute.
Massachusetts State Police reported several accidents, including two jack-knifed tractor-trailers on Interstate 495 in Chelmsford and several minor accidents on Route 24 in the Brockton/West Bridgewater area.
Traffic was slow on major highways, but volume was light because it is school Christmas vacation week.
The chief of the MBTA says the mass transit system is running as normal after one early-morning switch problem was resolved.
There are no major power outages. Some flights at Logan Airport were cancelled.
The National Weather Service says areas west and north of the city could get up to four inches of snow.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker called it a "tier 1" storm, the lowest on a 5-tier scale.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is asking residents and commuters to be careful during the evening commute.
"While we have made unprecedented preparations for this winter, I ask for everyone to be extremely cautious if they need to drive this evening," he said in a statement.

Virginia crews working overtime repairing highway signs after a sign came crashing down on Interstate 66.
"I was surprised that the sign structure on 66 had fallen because we are out there inspecting them frequently," said Nick Roper. He's in charge of sign inspections in our area for the Virginia Department of Transportation. "We've been doing quality insurance inspections of all of our cantilever structures since that failure."
They still don't know why it fell, but inspectors are focused on the anchor bolts, Roper said.
Inspections showed it was in good shape, he said, and workers inspected more than 500 similar cantilever signs.
But we wanted to know about all of the signs in our area.
After weeks of negotiations, VDOT released its inspection records for northern Virginia to the News4 I-Team.
Internal records show an estimated 8 percent of cantilever and overhead signs are in "poor condition."
But records show the very tall lights called "high mast" light poles have the most problems.
Inspectors look for very specific things. For instance, on a high mast pole near the intersection of Interstate 495 and US 50 in Fairfax County, inspectors noted there's no cover on the electronics panel and the system holding up the lights. Down below, they focused on the anchor bolts, which are covered in rust. Those are what hold the pole to the groun,d and inspectors noted they have too much space, they don't have washers and there's no clearance underneath.
VDOT's internal records show as many of these high mast poles are in "poor" or "serious" condition.
But Roper cautioned the records are out of date and the number is closer to 15 percent.
"Pulling a sample of reports," he explained, "I noted that about half of those pulled had had those deficiencies corrected."
We found many have been repaired or replaced.
The News4 I-Team went up and down northern Virginia highways checking out some of the worst rated.
Near Gallows Road -- a rusty pole, corroded bolts, a cracked foundation.
On I-66 near Rosslyn -- washers and nuts coming off. Duct tape holding broken parts together.
But Roper cautioned, "If the public can see corrosion on a bridge beam or a sign or a pole, that doesn't necessarily mean they need to be concerned that the structure is in danger of falling."
He said the structures are safe because they're inspected every five years.
But Henry Jasny with Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety said the signs should be inspected every two years.
"They're massive and they're heavy," Jasny said. "There's always a risk if they're not in good repair."
Back on I-66 near Arlington, inspectors noted missing bolts on a heavy crossbeam more than three years ago.
News4 found, there's only one bolt holding it on now -- over a lane of traffic.
After we told VDOT about what we found, the state took the entire sign down.
Next, we expand our investigation into Maryland and D.C. Find out why there's isn't a consistent inspection policy for highway signs and why it's allowed some signs in our area to go decades without being inspected. Catch it tomorrow night on News4 at 11 p.m.

Well, I tried the Anti-Aging Cream a few years ago and didn't like it. It just didn't work for me then. But my friend Cayce recently reminded me of Raw Food Advocate, Tonya Zavasta's, Beautiful on Raw Products after she tried the Multi-Herbal Green Clay Mask. Cayce said she absolutely loved it.
So, I decided to give it another try recently and was really surprised because it works! Apparently, just this year, Tonya tripled the amount of sea buckthorn fruit extract in her cream… and it has made a big difference! My skin feels wonderfully hydrated during the day and night. In fact, in my vain search for Vegan cosmetics, I think among the moisturizers, Your Right to Be Beautiful Facial Cream has given me the best results so far in hydrating my skin and for lessening my wrinkles. Yes, in my opinion, even better than Acure's moisturizers!
I also decided to try the Volumizing Shampoo and was surprised again by Tonya's products. The shampoo lathers very well. Although every time I use it I feel like the suds are stripping my hair of its natural oils as I rinse, but my hair is always easy to comb afterwards and as it dries, I find my hair just 'falls' well. I'm wearing my hair down again without doing anything to it. My son, who has had a fetish for his Mama's hair since he was born, exclaimed as soon as he touched my dry hair after I used this shampoo, "Mama! You've never had softer hair! It's like baby hair!" And this is true, I haven't had softer hair since using 'healthier' shampoos.
I am truly surprised by the quality of Tonya's cream and shampoo! To me, her website seems a little dull and old compared to the more updated websites of Acure, Suki or even 100% Pure. The packaging of the Your Right To Be Beautiful products also looks cheaper. The woman I was e-mailing at her company didn't know how to entertain the idea of sending me samples to review. She didn't. And in fact, she stopped responding to me, so I had to buy the cream and the shampoo for this review from my health food store. Judging from the website and my communication with its representative, this company does not seem like it would have quality products… but they do! The cream and shampoo are definitely worth a try!
Now I want to get her facial brush and start dry brushing my face!
Did it pass my cosmetics criteria? Absolutely!
1. smell – I love the smell of the cream. It smells luxurious. I'm not crazy about the Lotus Flower smell of the shampoo, but it smells… 'clean'.
2. sensitivities – none. It says it is safe for very sensitive skin.
3. taste – no adverse taste when I drink water right after the application of the cream.
4. moisturize – Yes it does (cream and shampoo)!
5. everyday comfort – Yes. An all-in-one cream that works is a wonderful product for a busy Mama who just wants results with minimal work. As for the shampoo, it softens and at the same time adds volume to my thin and fine hair!
6. lasting effect – According to the website: "Your Right to Be Beautiful Facial Cream contains sea buckthorn oil, known for its amazing nourishing, regenerative and restorative actions. Coconut oil, aloe vera leaf extract and avocado oil add soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Mango seed butter helps to protect your skin from dryness. The cream is suitable for every skin type, including sensitive skin and can be used as a daily moisturizer or as an enriching night cream. You can apply the cream under makeup foundation or as a soothing aftershave." As for the Volumizing Shampoo, "You'll notice my shampoo and conditioner contain more ingredients than the average similar products. Why? Because I wanted these products to include everything known to deliver shine, volume, softness and manageability to hair while still being as pure and natural as humanly possible."
7. eco-friendly – The ingredients are Vegan and a handful are Certified Organic. Not exactly completely RAW like Bee Yummy's products, but, as a Raw Foodie, Tonya says she keeps the quality of her beauty products as high as she can too. She sources the best ingredients that she can for the products that she personally uses and sells.

Ahhhhh! The smell of dirty laundry. Well, maybe not ahhhhhh
maybe ewwwwww. But we all have dirty laundry now, don't we?
I often speak about morals and doing the right thing, and I talk about the difference between survival and living. Another way to put it is survival vs ethics. I want to express that it is a tough process after living only to survive to switch to living for the joy of living and switching from doing what it takes no matter what to getting in touch with the humanity inside of you, and I am speaking from personal experience. This can be at various levels right now I talk about personal character failures, messing up, and making mistakes. These can stem from:
Incest and abuse survivors will benefit from learning how to forgive themselves
and to stop their patterns.
Sometimes you can have deep remorse and feel ashamed of your past mistakes
and sometimes it can impact your sense of worth. It is very important to forgive one self, and to move on with the intention to do better next time. Just because, say for example, you did drugs doesn't mean that you are doomed to use drugs forever. You can choose a better way. Or if you did something to hurt yourself because you were so depressed, you don't have to continue with that behavior. You can choose to stop. If you were promiscuous before, you don't have to continue
you can stop!
Just because you messed up doesn't mean that you can't grow emotionally, and develop stronger character and stronger morals. Sometimes mistakes become very valuable incentive for change so that you dont end up in the same old mess again.
If you have a history of poor judgement then you can turn to your counselor or others to help you learn what to look for in making a good decision vs making a bad decision.
Another aspect of this is the asking vs manipulating. See you can learn to ask for what you need or want rather than lieing or manipulating or bullying or scaring or begging or stealing. Ask for what you need and often times you will be surprised at getting a yes without scheming and manipulation. Sometimes yes isn't possible at all. Accept that. Sometimes yes isn't possible right then and there but can be later on. Accept that. Understand that sometimes abuse triggers feelings of entitlement and this is also unhealthy and can become a trap for many people. I have been around people with entitlement issues. Justifying thier actions by the fact that they feel entitled to it. Its scarey.
We have many choices ahead of us and developing stronger morals. Better decision making skills and ethics over situational ethics leads to a healthier life and can propel you forward out of surviving into living. I believe surviving is not the prize I believe living is the prize. I believe that we can be overly hard on ourselves at times and at times not enough pressure to do better.
So give yourself permission to learn from your past failures and past mistakes, and give yourself permission to grow and become a better person become more in tune with your humanity and living.
Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, you will rise up again whole and renewed!
