Hey guys,
This picture is from a great morning session at Wasserski Langenfeld in western Germany shooting the 2016 Liquid Force Stuff earlier this year. Just want to blog this picture now, because I am currently missing riding so bad. All cable parks in Germany are shut down now and there is no way for me to ride at the moment. The weather is getting colder and colder, as well as the nights are getting longer and longer… I really have to say. I hate Winter haha! During the cold days I am going to the gym often to keep my body fit and prepared for the new season. Anyway, it is especially hard for me seeing a lot of my good mates flying to other countries to extend their seasons with some warm weather laps, while I am sitting in cold Germany having to keep up with my studies. But of course school is important, too! At this point I really want to wish one of my best friends Ryan Peacock, who is also part of the United Wakers crew a safe winter trip and a lot of fun. I also hope everyone has a quick winter so we can get on our wakeboards soon again and shred!

Schmear long and prosper!
Now it's confirmed, the new Star Trek movie is AWESOME! J.J. Abrams did a great job making it a movie for both fans and non-trekkies to enjoy. If Star Trek TOS had been made today this is probably what it would have looked like.
The story made it feel like a true Star Trek movie, an angry romulan (Nero, played by Eric Bana) wants to destroy the Federation, but more to the point the story is about how the crew of the Enterprise from TOS was gathered, with a focus on the lifes of Kirk and Spock.
The general feeling of the movie was truly Star Trek, and the technology fits right in the timeline. The actors also did a great job bringin back all the characters we all love (my favorite beeing Karl Urban as Leonard McCoy obviously). One could recognize the characters before they said their names just from their behaviour and the way they talked. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto were great as Kirk and Spock. Loved it!
Also, I loved the referens to Enterprise, my favorite of the Star Trek series.
Overall this was a great movie, probably the best movie this year (no way Transformers 2 can beat it). And as I said, you don't have to be a hard-core fan to enjoy it. Hopefully this will bring a new generation of fans, and a new series! One thing is sure, Star Trek is not dead even though it's been 43 years since we first met the crew of the Federation Starship Enterprise. Keep 'em coming!

When I moved to Calgary to work as a goldsmith and jewellery designer, I predominately created engagement and wedding jewellery. When the opportunity to start my own company came around, I wanted to incorporate fashion jewellery, accessories as well as silverware. I wanted introduce Calgary to the classical silversmithing I had practiced during my training, as well as incorporate non-precious materials for big and bold statements.
I love the variety of work that I get to create. I find creating in different mediums pushes boundaries in all categories.
I also love that most of my clients seek me out for my contemporary aesthetic: chunky, heavy and well-made fine jewellery with clean lines.
Calgary is great at being excited and supportive of its own. It's often said that Calgary is a small town in a big city—that also works as an advantage when it comes to community building and support.
We've grown into being a really interesting city that is colourful, trying out new things and breaking out of comfort zones. That's not to say there isn't room to grow and evolve further, but I think we are really starting to see a vibrancy in the city. The food scene is excellent, in comparison to where it was at 13 years ago when I moved here. There's more independent art, in both galleries and on the streets, making for exciting and individual neighbourhoods. There's a vibrant entrepreneur atmosphere in the city as well, which ultimately makes for a more innovative culture and experience.
I'm an Inglewood girl! I've lived there for the majority of my time in Calgary and around the inner city, and Inglewood is that one community that for me that has individuality and character. I love the lack of big-box stores. I love the character of the nearby neighbourhoods of Ramsay to the East Village. The coffee scene is strong, there are some excellent family-operated restaurants and music venues within walking distance and an abundance of nature walks and pathways only a few minutes from the core. There's also an abundance of small businesses that offer all the best everyday luxuries—from specialty food, world-class wine and craft-beer selection to art and design and quirky details for body and soul!
I come from a culture where jewellers and silver/goldsmiths are all connected and share experiences on a regular basis. It was a real community that built each other up, rather than take the approach of competing.
By sharing and having a supportive network we get stronger. My industry in itself is very small in Calgary so I may never be able to have that network community here, but I feel that all small business owners face many similar challenges. "I support you, you support me," goes a long way.
I'd love to create a high-end custom silver cocktail utensil set or sterling silver tableware, from napkin holders to cutlery. It's tricky because of the price point when it comes to precious metals—it may require that one specific client, rather than a business. But if there is a restaurant out there that would like a custom napkin holder, even in a non-precious metal, or a stylized weight for their bill tray, I would love to talk!
I love the blank canvas. Nature is always going to offer a solace and that room to breathe. I grew up on the coast in Finland, so I have always found my pulse by water. In Calgary that looks a little bit different because we are in a prairie and mountain province, but being a member of the Calgary Rowing Club and getting to practice sculling on the reservoir up to three times a week, six months of the year, has turned into a big refuge for me. Being able to do something completely unconnected to my art helps me switch off and back on again any time I face a challenge. It's a real reboot for me.

I'm supposed to be using this blog to draw a worded portrait of interesting places, currently the lovely island-baby-nation of Timor Leste. But allow me one more moment of frustration in my sojourn, seeing America from the other side of the world.
I follow several publishing blogs, and in the last week two of them, by agents whom I generally greatly respect, have recent posts that make me want to cry in frustration.
The first, which I actually only read today, was on the occasion of September 11. It's been 8 years since that day that changed the world, already!
In the blog, she asked her readers to share memories of that day. The comments were mostly very bittersweet memories of how difficult that day and the days that followed were. It was a good reminder of the emotions that Americans went through surrounding the events of 9/11/01. For me, it was life-changing, since I moved to the Arab world one week after it happened. The Middle East has now become my home, but of course my roots are back in America, and relations between those two regions were forever altered after that day. To me, though, remembering 9/11 is about thinking of all the death and hatred that has run amok since then, how many families have lost loved ones, how many broken relationships have become irreparable. That day was difficult for the U.S., I well know, but it was a heart-wrenching tragedy for the world at large.
What disturbed me about the comments on the blog, though, was that anything other than 100% support for America drew fierce and bitter criticism. One person's comment was deleted because it conjured ideas that maybe America wasn't perfect - I didn't get to read his comment, but I did think it odd that the responses criticising his criticism were left intact. The comment that saddened me the most, though, was by someone who was abroad when it happened. She talked about how pained she was that the lives of the people around her went on, how it was little more than a media event to the citizens of the country where she was on that day - couldn't they see how tragic this was?
She makes a good point, but we all do this every day. And perhaps Americans are more guilty than others of not suffering in solidarity with humanity. How many of us gave pause during the last year when Georgians, residents of Gaza, or Congolese were killed in the thousands?
Moving on to the second blog, which I read last week: this blog was about piracy of books, through the easy sharing of ebooks on the Internet. There was a fiery and emotional debate in the comments section, largely related to money and industry protection strategies (Digital Rights Management). We all believe a writer deserves his/her fair pay, but how much inconvenience should the average consumer have to put up with in order for this to happen?
I commented, trying to bring the conversation to a new focus, but was disappointed that my perspective didn't even get a nod from any of the other commentors. In fact, I think my comment was deleted by the moderator!
It's probably because I said that I have a really hard time accepting a debate about who makes money when that debate doesn't acknowledge that the largest number of people who pirate books/movies/music in this world simply do not have access to originals. The U.S. industries are so busy limiting opportunities to buy electronic media in a legal way, that those of us who live outside the U.S. (and sometimes, but not always, Europe) find ourselves having the choice between piracy or not-at-all. And, when this means getting more information into the hands of the less-privileged, then I am all for it, and yes, I do think that people who dismiss that way of thinking (which apparently were the readers, or at least the moderator, of that blog) are practising a modern form of imperialism.

itopia offers you a module to configure the VPN for your deployments, you can easily setup site to site VPN.
When it comes to limitations, Google supports IPsec VPN. Learn more about the features/settings that are compatible for the Google vpn here.
itopia doesn't charge for using VPN, the cost would only be on GCP end. You can check the pricing details here.
Go to Cloud Manager sections and click on the green + sign in the top right corner to configure new VPN
Populate the Name (e.g. vpn-1 or v1) and Description field and click on the green + sign to add a new tunnel:
You will get a screen to insert Remote peer IP address which would be your client's public IP. You can only use static IPs.
IKE version: IKEv2 is preferred, but IKEv1 is supported if that is all the peer gateway can manage. You can learn more here.
Shared secret: a unique key will be generated and should be copied for your records since you will not be able to retrieve it later.
Remote network IP ranges: The range, or ranges, of the peer network, which is the network on the other side of the tunnel from the Cloud VPN gateway you are currently configuring
Local IP ranges: Specifies which IP ranges will be routed through the tunnel and the field is already populated for you according to your Internal IP subnet
The rest of the configuration may vary, below is an example of edge router CLI output (IKEv1):
vpn {
ipsec {
auto-firewall-nat-exclude disable
esp-group FOO0 {
proposal 1 {
encryption aes128
hash sha1
ike-group FOO0 {
proposal 1 {
dh-group 2

ike-group FOO0
local-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
tunnel 1 {
esp-group FOO0
local {
prefix xxx.xxx.x.x/xx
remote {
prefix xxx.xxx.x.x/xx
IKEv2 Phase 1 and 2 settings below:
IKE (Phase 1) Proposal
Exhange - IKEv2
DH Group: Group 2
Encryption: AES-128
Auth: SHA1
28800 Lifetime
IPSEc Phase 2
Protocol - ESP
Encryption - AES-128
Auth- SHA1
Lifetime: 28800
Once saved, it can take from 5 to 15 minutes for the VPN tunnel to get created. In the meantime the VPN will appear as "Pending update" in itopia CAS.
Note1: The process does not open up any firewall rules between your on-prem network and the Google Cloud network. To manage firewall rules, follow our VPN guide for Firewall rules.
Note2: When deleting a deployment, our system will delete all the VPNs inside the related GCP project that were created by CAS (those that have a name starting with "VPN-clientcode"). VPNs created in CAS prior to 7/26/2019 will need to be deleted manually when deleting the deployment/ project.

Smile When You Say Free Trade
It has come to my ears that some Earthsharing readers might be a wee bit skeptical about the efficacy and decency of Free Trade. Seriously? No, it's true, "free trade" is a dicey thing to advocate these days. Many have said that the most eloquent defense of it ever written was Henry George's 1886 book … Read more

Sometimes all it takes to calm your fears are a few words.
"I couldn't have done this without you," someone says.
"This is a dream come true!"
"I never even imagined something this good."
These are just some of the messages we've received from writers and publishers since we introduced AUTHORS.me in a limited roll out a few months ago. When I spent sleepless nights worrying, "Are they really going to like this?" These phone calls and emails have sustained me through the months of building that can so often feel like an echo chamber of ideas.
We saw two sides of the book industry treating each other like adversaries and wanted to change that. We believe the solution is one which helps everyone. That seems almost too obvious, but up until now, it just hasn't happened. Ultimately, there are not two opposite sides — writer versus agent–or–writer versus publisher–though it sometimes feels that way. Any solution that truly helps both sides is good for everyone, and that's our goal for AUTHORS.
It takes all sorts of skills to create, launch, and run a successful company. Beyond skills and experience, there's another crucial ingredient- and it's this ingredient that ultimately makes or breaks a business. And that's passion.
The passion that we have at AUTHORS.me is two-fold: a love of technology, and a love of stories. Tying this all together is a strong desire to help the people that create amazing books that we all enjoy.
When we first thought about this idea, we looked through the landscape of companies and support for writers, agents, and publishers. There is a lot of help available! Writers need that help, because finding an agent or publisher is a hurdle so high that few writers actually clear it.
But this helpful landscape is so often one-sided. We saw frameworks and training for writers and form-builders for agents and publishers. We found hundreds of blogs giving great advice and plenty of self-help books. But we wanted to approach this differently, and develop a panacea for the whole process, not just create another Advil or Band-Aid for one small part of it.
We believe in our company. With a team built of knowledgeable programmers, writers, publishers, marketers and more, we're uniquely positioned to deliver on this promise. Together, we have a thorough knowledge of complex technology and matching algorithms, as well as a business sense of what writers, agents, and publishers need to take a manuscript to production.
Most of all, we have you, our users, who have been our biggest inspiration and encouragement.
And here we are—ready to step out into the world. So with excitement and a little trepidation, we launch our new site and welcome our first agent and publisher relationships.
Keep the emails and conversation going!

In February 2006 the editors of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo met to discuss a matter of what turned out to be deadly consequence: Would they publish a satirical image of Muhammad on their cover? We were making a documentary about Jean Cabut, known as Cabu, one of the most famous cartoonists in France. So we were there, filming his conversation with his colleagues as they chose the cover. The issue that came out of this meeting — with a Cabu cartoon on the cover and the images they discussed here — turned out to be one of the most popular in the magazine's history. Almost nine years later, gunmen stormed this very meeting and killed 10 editors and cartoonists, including three of the people in this film: Cabu, Bernard Verlhac (known as Tignous) and Georges Wolinski.
Beyond his talent as an artist, our friend Cabu was a formidable character — his Joan of Arc haircut and John Lennon-style round glasses were inimitable. A former children's television host, he was goofy, kind, sweet. We loved him. But what Cabu loved was provocation and bad taste: a very French — political and vulgar, yet sharp — type of irony. He was right at home at Charlie Hebdo, where he could take uncompromising stands on institutions and leaders of all stripes: politicians, bankers, cops … and men of God.
In this case, Cabu was supporting cartoonists in Denmark who had just grappled with the same issue in September 2005. The Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten had published 12 cartoons considered blasphemous by many followers of Islam. Arab governments protested officially; there were clashes at protests and demonstrations around the world, leading to more than 200 deaths. Charlie Hebdo had decided to reproduce the complete set of cartoons for its Feb. 8 issue.
In filming Cabu's now historic meeting with his editor in chief and fellow cartoonists and editorialists, we could not know that we were capturing on camera such an important moment. We were just amazed by the collaborative, creative, joyful process that led to the cover and caption, Cabu's drawing of the Prophet Muhammad, cleverly hiding his face with his hands to avoid breaking outright prohibitions on showing the prophet's likeness, but still provocative. Provocative enough to apparently serve as the root of this week's attack.
As the cartoon was published, police officers were assigned for Cabu's protection. As the death threats against him soon poured in, his humor and high spirits remained intact. Our friend Cabu was murdered. Today, we miss him.

CBLDF Streams Documentary Short About Ryan Matheson Case
posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) began streaming a nearly 13-minute "Defending Manga: The Ryan Matheson Story" documentary short on Tuesday. CBLDF notes that the documentary was made possible by a contribution from the Neil Gaiman Foundation.
The video focuses on the legal case of Ryan Matheson, who was charged in April 2010 with possessing and importing child pornography by Canadian Customs after his bag and laptop were searched while crossing the Canadian border. The customs officer characterized manga found on his computer as child pornography. Matheson's charges were dropped in March 2012. Matheson's legal costs in the case totaled more than US$75,000.
Since the charges were dropped, Matheson has been appearing at various CBLDF panels at conventions to discuss his case.

Serves 2 people. Simply double the quantities to serve 4 people.
- 9oz (250g) minced beef
- 1tbsp olive oil
- ½ small white onion, finely chopped
- 1 small carrot, finely chopped
- 1/3 pint (200ml) beef stock
- tomato ketchup to taste
- Worcestershire Sauce to taste
- pinch of salt and pepper to season
- 2 large white potatoes
- knob of butter and splash of milk for the mash
- grated Cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5
- Cut the potatoes into small chunks and boil until soft
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan then add the beef and brown
- When the beef is browned, add the onion and fry for a minute before adding the carrot
- Add the tomato ketchup and Worcestershire Sauce and mix in. You can use tomato purée rather than ketchup, but I think that the ketchup gives a richer taste
- Pour over the beef stock and seasoning and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. There should be enough stock so that it nearly all reduces down after 10 minutes of simmering
- Mash the potatoes with the butter and milk until creamy. Add a bit of grated cheese if you want to make the mash a bit cheesy
- Put the beef in a small cassarole dish and add the mashed potato on top. Make sure that the potato covers the beef completely and right to the edge of the dish. Pattern the top with the back of a fork. Sprinkle some grated cheese on the top
- Bake in the oven for around 20 minutes. To brown the top, place under a high grill for just a minute or two
- Serve with a selection of seasonal vegetables

Oklahoma higher education FY2017 budget preview
Vicky Smith
Managing Editor
Cameron University faculty and staff are preparing for state budget allocation deductions for FY2017, which begins July 1.
Cameron President Dr. John McArthur said the state legislature allocates a budget of seven billion dollars, and higher education is allotted about one seventh of the budget.
"Higher ed receives about a billion," McArthur said. "If that proportion of the budget is distributed equally to all the state agencies – corrections, transportation, common education [and] career tech. … Cameron's share of that reduction would be between 1.5 and three million dollars."
McArthur said the state budget is likely to decrease because of the anticipated state revenue shortfall.
"The revenue shortfall, primarily due to oil and gas revenue declines," McArthur said, "[is] between 500 million and 1.2 billion dollars."
To prepare the university to absorb the reductions, McArthur said he has a plan in progress.
"I want to create a list that has twice the dollar amount on the list of what we expect for a reduction," he said. "We're expecting a reduction of three million dollars, so I would like to have a six million dollar planning list for increased revenue or reduced services."
McArthur said he plans to create the list between now and the end of December. When students, faculty and staff return from winter break, he would like to distribute the list around campus in order to facilitate discussion regarding the pro and cons of each item on the list.
"About the first of March," McArthur said, "I'll need to make a decision [and] prioritize that list.
"Then, when we know what our budget's going to be [in early June], we'll work down that list to meet that reduction amount."
According to McArthur, the state allocation money is only a portion of the funds used to operate the university.
For this year, he said 42 percent of revenue has come from the state, 56 percent has come from student tuition and fees, and two percent has come from gifts, grants and other funding sources.
However, for the university to adjust to the reduced percent of revenue from the state, McArthur said there are two main options.
"Our choices are we can increase our revenue from other sources," he said, "we can reduce our services in some areas, or more than likely, it will be a combination of the two."
McArthur said he and faculty members will review the extracurricular and co-curricular activities, as well as degree programs, for potential reductions.
"The degree programs that we offered when I was a student may not be the degree programs that we need for your future," he said. "[But] preserving your opportunity to pursue the degree of your choice is going to be among one of our highest priorities, so I don't think you need to worry about a degree program or a course going away that you need to graduate."
McArthur said to increase the university's revenue, he and faculty members can start with outside funding sources.
"We're certainly going to work very hard on the external gifts and grants," he said. "Then we will consider tuition and fees as well."
According to McArthur, the last time the university underwent major state budget reductions was in FY2003.
"That next year," he said, "Cameron raised its tuition 20 percent. I don't think we're looking at that kind of increase, and the reason I say not is for the last few years, as we've increased tuition, enrollment has gone down a corresponding amount."
McArthur said he and faculty members will look very hard before increasing tuition and fees.
"We want you in school," he said, "so we don't want to price Cameron out of the market of serving high school graduates from Southwest Oklahoma so they can go to college … but it is certainly possible we could increase tuition and fees."
McArthur said he will be happy to talk to any student groups about the anticipated budget deductions.
"This budget situation is serious," he said, "and it's going to be serious enough without rumors and panic. … Right now, we have time to plan and then think about really what we expect to see in the future."

Last week the coroner in the Gareth Williams case delivered a damning verdict, highly critical both of the Metropolitan police's counter-terrorism branch and MI6
Dr Fiona Wilcox levelled excoriating criticism at Williams's employers at MI6 who failed to report him missing for seven days when he did not turn up for work. It took Williams's sister, not his workmates, to call the alarm. Wilcox detailed what can only be interpreted as incompetence or callousness by his employers in respect of one of their young high fliers.

We are offering for your consideration a 1930's wind up dancing sweeping bear made by Kuramochi CK in Japan . The bear is made of tin, it has lead feet, glass eyes and is covered with a fabric that looks much like Mohair. When wound the bear has a hysterical action raising and lowering his torso causing a swaying and sweeping motion. The bear will vibrate so rapidly on his lead feet that when he's on a smooth surface he circle's quickly to his right while he "sweeps" away. This bear is in very nice played with condition and there is some play wear to the fabric covering (a little thread bare in places). We researched this bear for the maker and found it is often incorrectly referred to as being a German toy. We were able to locate a photo of a similar bear in a book that we had in our own library. The reference we used is on page 177 of THE TEDDY BEAR COMPANION VOL. I by DEE HOCKENBERRY. The author refers to the bear as being manufactured by CK aka Kuramochi of Japan and actually had the original box for positive ID in the photo. We were able to locate only one bear that had the complete broom in it's hands the others were just a handle or it was missing altogether. This bear came to us empty handed so we created an identical broom to the one we had located. This Japanese tin wind up mohair covered sweeping bear measures about 6 1/2" tall. This is a rare toy that will make a fine addition to any early Japanese tin wind up toy collection. PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND USE THE ENLARGE AND ZOOM FEATURES FOR THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF THIS ADORABLE LITTLE TEDDY BEAR.

Laundry Detergent Pods, a Concern for Kids, Can Harm Pets Too
Most soaps and detergents contain chemicals called ionic and anionic surfactants. When pets ingest a small amount of such products, it's possible for them to respond to the unpleasant taste or to have mild, self-limiting gastrointestinal upset (drooling, vomiting and diarrhea).

13 Amp Electric 20" Lawn Mower (Discontinued) is rated out of 5 by 90.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Evelina from easy turning, especially for older ladies have this for a year. Its been a year now that I do not have to ask a male friend to pull start my old gas powered mower. For me, at over 80 it is my best friend and the easiest mower I have ever owned. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Rated 5 out of 5 by DanielBg from Good little mower I use this one for 3rd year. I need the maneuverability, the ability to lock wheels and mow perpendicular or parallel to an incline and at the same time lightweight enough so that I (or my wife) can push it. I wished there were self propelled feature, but it is not a big thing on a level surface. I really need and hope that worx can design a tool that is dethatcher, mower, tiler, cultivator, spreader, etc in one. Pushing it may be hard on you, if you have several levels like me and dealing with the cable is an issue of its own, especially when you have to deal with emptying the bag. Sometimes it feels underpowered so mulching is not tremendously nice but just effective. It gets clogged up with high grass easily. But... it is so easy to maneuver, no smell of gas, can be stored upright so my already tight garage space is not eaten by a mower. It has Plenty of power for cutting. I didn't like the nut in the middle that tightens the blade, could be a better design/material, now it is too shallow, and the switch needs to be made sturdier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GoGlo1406 from 70 yr. old grandma mows lawn for first time! I lost my regular gardener and needed to find another or do it myself. Then I thought about going electric. I did a lot of research on the internet and decided to go with WORX 13 Amp Electric 20" Lawn Mower. I didn't want to deal with a gas mower and the maintenance that comes with it. Spark plugs, gas, etc. I am a single 70 yr. old grandma with no mowing experience. The WORX Electric Mower is easy to use and efficient. I set the wheels at "4" for height but think I'll try "3" next time. The mower is not too heavy for me to get out and about. I like that the grass clippings bag is easy to take off and dump in the recycle bin. I bought a paint brush for a buck at the dollar store and used that to clean the underside where the blade is. I also used a wooden paint stick to remove the stuck on clippings. So, I am happy with the ease of operation and the job this mower does. So proud of myself that I did it myself!

Rated 5 out of 5 by WMNVET from Perfect for us! After reviewing multiple lawnmowers we finally decided upon this one. Im a veteran with bad shoulder and my partner is a cancer survivor who cannot tolerate heat or heavy physical activity. The old lawnmower we had was hard to start and messy to deal with maintenance wise. We have a medium sized yard with a mix of thick clover and grass. This lawnmower was perfect! It was light enough for either of us to push and easy to start. The cord took a min to get use to but I ended up kinda tying it around me out of the way. I haven't used the mulch feature but it was just what we needed for mowing the lawn. Easy to clean. Only complaint I guess is sometimes the bag was a bit difficult to remove.

Rated 5 out of 5 by timbond48076 from No Gas, No Oil, I love it!! I have had the mower a few weeks and it works great. Now your grass must be dry because it does not cut wet or damp grass and it does take longer dragging around a cord, but if you hate the smell of gas and messy oil, then this is the mower for you. It is lightweight which is a plus but be careful about running into objects because it will dent easily, but if you take your time, dry grass and remove all objects you can, the mower can run perfectly. I have a large lawn and still starts up right away everytime.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ona44 from Powerful and well built! I bought this lawn mower because of the quality I have seen in the other tools from WORX I have purchased. My front and side lawns were being recreated as part of a neighborhood beautification project and I wanted a dependable mower to help keep it at it's best. No more gas mowers for me (been there done that) and my battery mower just didn't have the strength to do the job. When I saw this mower on line - and it was on sale - it seemed like the best solution and I have not been disappointed!!! Now my lawn is the best on out street. Thank you!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ran P from Powerful like Gas mower After using gas powered lawn mowers for decades and tired of the high maintenance demands of a gas mower, I decided to try either battery powered or corded electric. I initially purchased a Big-store brand battery powered lawn mower and after first use realized that battery powered lawn mower could not meet the demands (i.e. battery life, and power required to cut grass) for my 0.5acre yard with some slopes/small-hills, the battery powered mowers are made mostly of plastic (including the deck) and hence very flimsy ; I returned the battery powered lawn mower the very next day. After reviewing the Worx corded lawn mower, I was a bit skeptical that other reviews compared the performance of this corded electric lawn mower to a gas powered lawn mower. I purchased the 13Amp corded Worx mower and put it to test the same evening I received it. I was utterly surprised how powerful and efficient this mower performed. It cut though grass over 3 inches tall with no problem, mulched some leaves, and did the job effortlessly. As long as you can manage the electric cord, which is not that difficult if you cut grass in straight paths, this mower is a great choice. The deck is made of steel like a gas mower and its strong and durable. Cons: I give this mower a 5 start review overall, however, I do have one concern. When the mower is used in mulch mode, that is, not discharged in the side or bagged, rather drop the grass cutting on the lawn as you cut, the grass cuttings tend to accumulate in the steel deck above the blade and cause the mower blade to stall hence requiring very frequent (every 5min) cleaning of the deck to remove grass clippings. Perhaps the blade requires to be flipped, so the cutting discharge will drop down rather than discharge up towards the deck. However, once I switched to the "side discharge" mode by attaching the plastic shoot, the mower was flawless. Nevertheless, this mower is highly powerful, durable and excellent choice for anyone that does not want to own a gas mower.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CHSguy from Well Built I bought this in July for my small back yard in Texas. Shipping was very quick, well packed and easy to set up. Have only used it once but it cuts great. used the mulching feature. It took a little getting used to the cord but seems easy enough. This is the first electric (corded) mower I've owned. Now I don't have to worry about storing gasoline anymore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WVRich from Good mower My gas mower is getting old, so I was on the lookout for a new one - or an alternative. I have a small yard, and lots of outside outlets, so this mower would work for me. Setup was easy, and the test mowing showed no problems. Maneuvering was very easy, especially with the front wheels unlocked. Next test is with the front wheels locked. Good job of mowing, and chopped up bush trimmings easily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by irspud from Excellent Lawn Mower I have had this mower for a week and a half. This mower does an fantastic job of cutting. It sounds like a gas mower but even at that the cut is perfect. It has a very good turn radius. The mulching is one of the best in mowers that I have ever used. I am very happy I bought this mower.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JBKEEFER from Powerful, agile, & lightweight! Pros: - Powerful 14 Amp Electric Motor: Cuts high grass with ease. - Lightweight: Heavy duty enough to mulch, but light enough for my 100 lb. wife to use with little effort. - Reliable: Plug and play! No complex gas engine = No breakdowns, oil changes, filters and/or other maintenance. - Ergonomically designed handle makes it easy to use. - Agile: Rotating front wheels make it super easy to make tight turns. They also lock for long straight lines. - Quiet: You don't need to use hearing protection, but I do anyway. - Price: Reasonable initial cost, plus the savings on gas and maintenance is a plus. - The quality of cut is beautiful. Much nicer than my previous riding mower. Cons: - No headlight: An LED light on the front would be a nice feature to help during dusk. - The plastic start button feels a little cheaply made. - Grass tends to build up easily under mower even using the side discharge method. The grass needs to be cleaned out periodically during mowing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by isoenzyme from Effective Lawn Mower - Great Mulcher! I've used this mower for about a month (on new sod) and it works great. After reading some of the reviews I was worried that it wouldn't be a good choice for mulching but it performs that task admirably. Lots of power and it lasts beyond when the batteries are full. I'm happy with this WORX purchase. If it were self-powered it would be the perfect mower.

Scams alert from Devon, Somerset and Torbay Trading Standards
Posted on: 22 June 2018
Devon, Somerset and Torbay Trading Standards is issuing a warning for people to be aware of a spate of investment scams.
The Trading Standards service has received a number of complaints from people who have fallen for the scams, which claimed a high level of return for a minimal risk.
In fact, victims typically lost tens of thousands of pounds.
Trading Standards wants people to know that there are many types of investment scams to look out for, and that scams are continuously evolving.
Someone could be asked to invest in unusual products, such as carbon credits, bitcoin, or plots of land. Or they could be asked to become a member of a pyramid scheme, invest in offshore schemes, or to trade in binary options.
"There are things that people can do to avoid falling for a scam," says Steve Gardiner, Interventions Manager, Devon, Somerset and Torbay Trading Standards.
"Ask yourself, was the offer unsolicited and is the offer and company legitimate? Don't provide any financial or personal information before establishing whether the company's legitimate.
"Do you fully understand how the investment works? And ask for confirmation in writing before committing to it.
"Don't be pressured into making a decision. Take your time.
"And of course, is it too good to be true?"
Companies can only offer financial products and services if they're properly authorised, registered and/or approved, unless they're specifically exempt from doing so.
The Financial Conduct Authority publishes a warning list of companies known to scam people, at www.fca.org.uk/scamsmart. Legitimate companies should also be listed on the financial services register, at https://register.fca.org.uk
Other checks include carrying out a "who is" search on the internet, which can identify who and where a website is registered.
Companies are often based outside the UK. If they're based within Europe, consumer advice can be obtained from European Consumer Centre, tel: 01268 886690.
Complaints can be reported to Trading Standards on 03454 040506, and to Action Fraud (the UK's national fraud and cyber crime reporting centre) on 0300 1232040
Mr Gardiner said, "These pernicious and persistent approaches are designed to steal your money or your personal information.
"Always remember, if an offer sounds like it's too good to be true, bear in mind that it probably is."

Owl Paintings: Our beautiful Snowy Owl paintings from our 4CatsArtStudio Field trip are being sent home Monday. I hope you are as pleased with them as I was. The studio tells me if you'd like to have them framed, they will happily stretch the canvas and frame it properly on wood. They look very nice that way! This does cost $30 and they can usually do it in a day.
Christmas Concert: Students are already hard at work learning their song for the Christmas concert. This year our concert is titled Santa Goes Green. Our class will be performing with Ms. Erichuk's gr.5/6 class, a song titled "Recycle the Fruitcake." In addition to this, we will be singing with the Primary choir in the start of the concert. We will also sing a song at the end of the concert as a whole school. We are just starting to talk about what students should wear. We will definitely need to wear a solid green top but I will let you know about additional props etc. Our concert is on Thursday Dec. 13 at 10:30 am (tentative) and again at 1:00 pm. We hope you can join us!
Christmas Craft: We will soon be making Christmas gifts for families. I am asking each student to bring $2 to help pay for the cost for these projects. Thank-you in advance for this!
Skating: It is tradition that classes go skating at Parkcrest. We are lucky to have Brock Arena so close by! We will walk over (weather depending) however, I usually ask for a couple of parents to walk with us and one to drive our skates and equipment over for us. We always need extra parents as well to tie laces. Students are allowed to bring hockey sticks and soft pucks. Our dates for skating are : Dec.17, Feb.21, Feb28. Time to find those skates! Please let me know right away if your child does not have skates- we do have some here at the school that students can use. I will need a parent helper to come and help sort through our school skates to help these students find a pair to wear. If you are able to help with any of these things, I would greatly appreciate it! Permission slips will be sent home soon.
Report Cards are coming soon: I have been busy gathering data and testing our students in math, reading and writing. I will continue to do reading and science tests with students this week as well. Report cards will be sent home on Nov. 30th. Remember Dec.7th is an Early Closure date for parent/ teacher interviews so if you would like to meet with me regarding your child's report card, please send me a note with the report card envelope. Otherwise I will only be contacting families that I feel a need to meet with.
Homereading: I am concerned some students are becoming slack with their home reading and having agendas signed. Each day I check agendas and ask the students one by one to exchange their books. I have been hearing a lot of "I didn't read it last night" or "We didn't have time." Please ensure your child is reading each and every night. Without this extra home reading, your child will not progress at the same speed as his/her peers. It makes a huge difference! I am now asking students to record how long they read as well to help track their reading. You'll notice in their agenda tonight it says
Read ____ min. Please record the number of minutes and initial beside. .I will be awarding students with the top amount of minutes at Christmas break for their excellent commitment to reading. Thank-you for your help with this!
Book Fair: This week is Book Fair week. Students will be allowed a sneak peak on Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, the book fair will be open for students wishing to buy books. We have been given time each day for students with money to go and shop. If you would like to send your child with money, Tues and Wed are the days to do so. Mrs. Gorman will also have the Book Fair open after school for families wishing to come.
Games Day: This Friday at lunch, student's council is sponsoring "Games Day." They are asking any students that are able, to bring a board game to play with other students. At 12:20, primary and intermediate students are then allowed to go to the gym and play games together. There will be a primary side and an intermediate side. Students do not have to bring a game to be allowed to go.
Movember: We are doing a school fundraiser for prostrate cancer as this in now "Movember." You may have noticed Mr. Aziz and Mr. Daliwahl are growing moustaches. They will be shaving them off for the school on November 30th. Admission will be $1 and all proceed will be donated to this worthy cause.
Reminder : Inservice Day: Monday Dec 3
Class Themes Right Now:
Reading: We have been reading Owl stories and discussing who, what, where. Last week we started to look at what happens in the beginning, middle and end of the story. We started a reader's theatre script last week about a character named Mr. Owl. Students are in the midst of making puppets to act this play out. We will work on this some more this week.
Phonics: We are currently learning the rule "If two vowels go walking the first one does the talking and says its own name" rule. Words like: moan, treat, street, rain. Please remind your child of this rule when they read each night.
Science: We are continuing to learn about Owls.
Socials: We are learning about what makes up a community and the differences between rural communities and urban communities.
Math: We are currently learning place value with double digit addition and subtraction. Please note we did not do a math quiz last week. Only spelling tests will be coming home tonight. I apologize that I've been slow to send home our weekly quizzes, I am writing report cards and using information for this purpose. Thank-you for your understanding.
Writing: We are still working on our writing skills. I am insisting students use capitals and end punctuation at the end of sentences. Students are now expected to write a minimum of 5-6 solid sentences during writing time (many are writing more!!!)
Student Teachers: We have been enjoying our student teachers this month. They will be with us until the end of November. They have been teaching us lessons in reading and writing. We wish them all the best as they will continue in the BEd program at TRU and begin a new practicum in the spring at a different school.
Final Thoughts: Wow, I think there was a lot of news to communicate. Once again thank-you so much for your efforts and support. I am enjoying teaching your children this year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school or email me firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm happy to help!
Mrs. J. Latta

Public Schools should allow religion class?
I'm not talking about forcing people into it or anything, but it would make people more understanding of each others beliefs. We had to study religion for geography class, and i learned a whole lot of things that i didn't know. I mean, we have to say the pledge to flag we may or may not want pledge allegiance to, American money has in God we trust, and the pledge says "one nation under God." We're already doing and saying things we might not agree with already, so what's the big deal?
and yes, i mean ALL religions

It's a good idea; there's a lot that can be learned from religions, and many people are sorely uneducated in religious matters. As most social studies classes include a bit of religion in them, I think a religious class should be an optional Grade 11/12 course (there would be a lot of fighting over whether or not a school could put a full religious course in the required curriculum...).
If nothing else, religion is interesting. I'm a Christian, and I thoroughly enjoy studying my own religion as well as others, as do many of my atheist acquaintances. Learning how various religions work, what the evidence for them is, and how they shaped our culture would be very interesting for many people.

A school is not a church. Religion has nothing to do with geography. We pledge allegiance to America because we live in America. We do it because we are proud to live in this country and that has nothing to do with God. I will be happy when the day comes when God is taken out of the pledge and off of our money, which is used by people from all types of religions. It is not a big deal to you because you don't mind, it is a big deal to me because I do.

Well, many schools DO offer religion class; that should mean, though, that it isn't strictly devoted to teaching Christianity, but teaching all sorts of religions. I took it for a social studies requirement in middle school and high school. I learned a lot about Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism.
And I don't know about you, but WE didn't have to do the pledge of allegiance.
It's not the idea of teaching any religion in schools; it's about preaching it, as opposed to teaching the facts about it. When you start preaching a religion in a federally-sponsored institution, then it gets unconstitutional.

People should within reason be allowed to practice their religion at public school. Personal prayer should be allowed for meals and before tests. Those who believe that they should wear head coverings or hats should be allowed to do so. Those who believe that they should not wear such
As long as a school is not endorsing a religion, the free exercise of religion should be allowed. Religion can be taught as a part of culture in the context of sharing information. But not endorsed as anything more than a part of the local culture. It's like teaching about a foreign culture.

No. I will say this again: NO.
It is PUBLIC SCHOOL. Religion has no place in school. If you want to learn about religion, go to a church, mosque or synagogue.
The pledge added "Under God" into it in the 1950s because America was afraid of Communists. The USA is not at its roots a Christian nation.

There are religious schools for this sort of thing, so no.
By the way, if you want religious classes in school, which religion? You need to have ALL of the religions or people get pissed because one religion or another is left out.
If you discriminate against other religions by not having one class for that religion, it's a waste of time.(By the way, there are thousands of religions, so you wouldn't be able to do that)
Also, the one nation under god was added long after our four fathers. Our government got religious so they decided it was one nation under god. It's not, we have freedom of and from religion.

A comparative history class, taught as an elective and as a subject of study - not as something to think is true - seems reasonable. Even giving more time to the Bible is reasonable, since it has had more influence in the West. If people are educated about the similarities and the many changes all religions have undergone, a lot less will think these are divine revelations. Sounds good to me.

Sure, teach the history of religions, including how they have changed over time. Seems like the best way to show people that all religions are man made.
As for the pledge and money, those things should be changed.

I do not see a problem with a class that teaches ABOUT religion, as long as it does not take a position on any religions or the lack their of. I think it would be a good idea and could be good for most students

Some think that Mimi might be the "missing link," a sign of how life first evolved on our planet and in particular how cells with a nucleus might have originally evolved, leading eventually to human beings. It's possible that in Earth's early oceans, the virus was the dominant form of life and existed on its own, only later developing the ability to be parasitic on the cellular life which evolved afterwards. Most of the human genome is made up from viral DNA, and the same is true for most of the rest of animal and plant life.
It sounds odd to think of the virus being the beginning of life, but we have to get past our prejudice against viruses as being parasitic and harmful. The virus is, if nothing else, a survivor. Viruses survive against all odds and in all environments. Viruses replicate and adapt at a remarkable rate, making it very difficult for us humans to defend against or kill them. Such adaptability and survivability would have been very helpful in Earth's primordial environment.
Christians look to heaven for signs of their Creator; perhaps they should pay more attention to what happens when they blow their nose.
This is but one type of belief that is actually based on something you can test to see if there's any sense to it..?

This is such an adorable set - and such a perfect one to have for all your Easter crafting needs! I can see using this on cards, scrapbooks, Project Life cards (I love using the sentiments from the Pretty Cute Stamps sets in my pocket pages!), and Easter treats for the classroom. Oh, and of course you know I'll be making lunch box notes for my girl with this awesome set!
For my project today I created a cute Easter card and two matching tags.
I used the round Distress Ink sponge and smooshed on several colours of Distress Inks in a circular motion to create my colourful background. Then I layered over my 'Easter Cuties' (perfectly named!) along with their eggs and baskets that I coloured with Prismacolour Markers. I added some Stickles for shimmer and stamped on a sentiment inside a speech bubble from the Let's Talk set.
Inside - I used a Kaleidoscope ink pad and the border from the Celebrate Today stamp set and the Happy Easter from Easter Cuties. I can't wait till you can see all the cute sentiments that come with this set in the release tomorrow!
For the background on the tags I swiped Distress Stains across a piece of watercolour paper and then sprayed it with Perfect Pearls mist to blend the colours and add shimmer. After drying I stencilled overtop with the Tim Holtz flower doily stencil and purple ink and then again with a circular stencil and white ink. I stamped a cute sentiment over each little Easter animal and used pop dots to raise the basket and a couple eggs.
I even stamped some seam binding ribbon with Making Memories ink before adding more Distress Stain and crinkling it up while I dried it. Just love this technique!
Thanks so much for joining me today!! Be sure to head over to the Pretty Cute Stamps blog to see all the other sneak peeks from yesterday and today - and there's an awesome free download for you when you get there (one day only though)! Make sure to mark your calendars, because tomorrow is the big February Release Blog Hop - where you'll get to see all the stamp sets and more amazing projects from each member of the Design Team, and of course you'll be able to pick up all your favourite sets at the Pretty Cute Stamps Store!

Purebred Boston Terrier Puppies
Sorry, we are no longer breeding Boston Terrier or Boston Terrier Crosses
Boston Terrier puppies are extremely adorable as both puppies and adults. They are known for being happy, friendly and gentle dogs. They are easily trained by a patient owner and they are also very protective of their families. Boston Terriers should weigh between 10-25lbs full grown according to breed standards and should be marked with white in proportion to either black, brindle, seal, or a combination of the three. They have a short muzzle, erect ears and a short tail. They are not known to be barking dogs, which makes them excellent choices for those in apartments. Having been bred as a companion dog, they love to be around people, and when properly socialized at a young age, they get along well with children, the elderly, other dogs and other pets.
When looking for Boston Terrier puppies for sale, it is important to ask a few questions before visiting, as they have such a sweet temperament that you will easily fall in love! They should always be well socialized, had proper vet care at age appropriate times, and not be fearful or cowering. The Boston Terrier puppy should be very friendly and out-going, and should never be rehomed before the age of 8 weeks minimum. Boston Terriers have incredibly amazing personalities and will need lots of attention whether from family members or another pet. They will not enjoy overly large amounts of time left alone.
Boston Terrier Crosses/Mixes
Boston Terrier x Beagle:
There are a few popular Boston Terrier cross or mix puppies that also make amazing pets. Our family personally has a Boston Terrier x Beagle dog, Buster, who was born in 2007 and has been a wonderful addition to our home. He's "Uncle Buster" to the puppies we have here and does a great job of socializing them with older/larger dogs and teaching them what's acceptable and what's not! The Boston Terrier x Beagle, also known as a boggle or boglen, is a wonderful family pet, very alert and active and needing regular exercise and attention. They are extremely sociable and loving and will take as much love and attention as they can get!
Boston Terrier x Pug:
The Boston Terrier x pug dog, also known as a Bugg, is also a really fun-loving dog, with great personality! The Boston Terrier is already such an amazing dog, and then add the funny temperament of a pug, and you have a great mix! The Bugg can be a variety of colours and varies from small to a heavier dog, depending on which parent it takes after the most. They should also be well socialized from a young age, never rehomed before 8 weeks old, always have all vet care up to date, and be loved, loved, LOVED! This will make for a perfect addition to your home. The only downside, if you can call it one, is that they do shed and are not considered to be hypo-allergenic, so they would not be suitable for allergy sufferers. But if you are looking for a little more life, excitement and/or laughter in your home, a Boston Terrier x pug may be the perfect choice for you!
Bringing Home a Boston Terrier or Boston Terrier Mix Puppy
Though all puppies are extremely cute, make sure your choice of puppy is a well thought out decision as your new family member will be with you for 10+ years! We always want our Boston Terrier or Boston Terrier cross puppies, or any puppy adopted, to be in their forever home from the start, so please consider everything you need to know ahead of time. Never buy a Boston Terrier (or cross) puppy as a gift or surprise from someone, and those advertising Valentine's Surprises, Christmas surprise or birthday surprises are not likely having the best for their puppies in mind. Also make sure you always receive the original vet paperwork with needle(s), deworming names and dates, as well as a written health guarantee with all contact information from the original owner before leaving. We never recommend you meet someone 'halfway', in an apartment lobby, parking lot, or anywhere else that is not a home location. This can be dangerous for you, and is a good sign the puppy has not been well bred and/or cared for. Do your research, be safe, and give your new Boston Terrier or Boston Terrier cross puppy the best home ever!

Campbell official won't accept debate invites
Four months before the November election, Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery – the county's top leader – remains noncommittal to repeated requests for more debates this fall with his Democratic opponent Ken Rechtin.
Rechtin has twice asked Pendery to work with him in seeking sponsors for three debates held in the north, south and central parts of the county on topics that range from economic development and heroin use and addiction to the responsibilities of the judge-executive and the role of government in private markets.
"It's early to be worrying about something like this," Pendery said when reached by phone Friday, a week after Rechtin's second request.
"There will be at least two (debates)," Pendery continued, "and that's probably enough."
Both candidates have a long history of community service in elected office.
Pendery has been re-elected to judge-executive four times and is completing his 16th year on the Campbell County Fiscal Court. He co-owns an insurance company with his brother.
Rechtin, who recently stepped down after two years as interim executive director for Senior Services of Northern Kentucky, has been an elected commissioner on the Fiscal Court for 12 years, where the two men have sparred on issues including the 911 tax, which Pendery voted for and Rechtin voted against.
When challenged before, Pendery has won easily, earning nearly twice as many votes as Democrat Andrea Janovic in 2010, according to the Kentucky State Board of Elections.
Rechtin admits it will be difficult to unseat the longtime incumbent, but calls the feat "doable."
The Democrat has begun talking to mayors in Campbell County's various cities to see if they might help host the debates.
Rechtin is grateful the Independent Business Association of Northern Kentucky and the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee plan to hold forums this fall, but he has some concern that the groups mostly engage with the business community.
"They need to have their debates, but we definitely need to have a debate focused on government services, open and free to the public," Rechtin said.

Well, this might explain why I've been so hungry the past few days. According to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition sleep restriction could factor into obesity. Researchers found that normal-weight young men took in 22 percent more calories when they'd gotten four hours of sleep the night before compared to when they slept a full night. To investigate, scientists studied sleep, eating, and energy expenditure in 12 healthy young men across two 48-hour sessions. After the night of short sleep, the researchers discovered that the men took in 22 percent more calories, on average, than when they were allowed to sleep for eight hours. The average calorie increase was about 560. Researchers said the findings prove that people need to do their best to get an adequate amount of sleep so their bodies can function properly.
It's perhaps interesting to note that I've been craving a lot of sweet treats and salty chips in recent weeks, which is about the same amount of time that I've spent several sleepless nights tossing and turning due to pollen-related allergies and/or stress. But if you're like me, it's hard to force myself back into bed when I'm feeling wired. Fortunately, Mayo Clinic has a list of tips to help rock us all back to sleep.
* Go to bed and get up at about the same time every day, even on the weekends. Sticking to a schedule helps reinforce your body's sleep-wake cycle and can help you fall asleep more easily at night.
* Don't eat or drink large amounts before bedtime. Eat a light dinner at least two hours before sleeping. If you're prone to heartburn, avoid spicy or fatty foods, which can make your heartburn flare and prevent a restful sleep. Also, limit how much you drink before bed. Too much liquid can cause you to wake up repeatedly during the night for trips to the toilet.
* Avoid nicotine, caffeine and alcohol in the evening. These are stimulants that can keep you awake. Smokers often experience withdrawal symptoms at night, and smoking in bed is dangerous. Avoid caffeine for eight hours before your planned bedtime. Your body doesn't store caffeine, but it takes many hours to eliminate the stimulant and its effects. And although often believed to be a sedative, alcohol actually disrupts sleep.
* Exercise regularly. Regular physical activity, especially aerobic exercise, can help you fall asleep faster and make your sleep more restful. However, for some people, exercising right before bed may make getting to sleep more difficult.
* Make your bedroom cool, dark, quiet and comfortable. Create a room that's ideal for sleeping. Adjust the lighting, temperature, humidity and noise level to your preferences. Use blackout curtains, eye covers, earplugs, extra blankets, a fan or white-noise generator, a humidifier or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs.
* Sleep primarily at night. Daytime naps may steal hours from nighttime slumber. Limit daytime sleep to about a half-hour and make it during midafternoon. If you work nights, keep your window coverings closed so that sunlight, which adjusts the body's internal clock, doesn't interrupt your sleep. If you have a day job and sleep at night, but still have trouble waking up, leave the window coverings open and let the sunlight help awaken you.
* Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow. Features of a good bed are subjective and differ for each person. But make sure you have a bed that's comfortable. If you share your bed, make sure there's enough room for two. Children and pets are often disruptive, so you may need to set limits on how often they sleep in bed with you.
* Start a relaxing bedtime routine. Do the same things each night to tell your body it's time to wind down. This may include taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book, or listening to soothing music. Relaxing activities done with lowered lights can help ease the transition between wakefulness and sleepiness.
* Go to bed when you're tired and turn out the lights. If you don't fall asleep within 15 to 20 minutes, get up and do something else. Go back to bed when you're tired. Don't agonize over falling asleep. The stress will only prevent sleep.
* Use sleeping pills only as a last resort. Check with your doctor before taking any sleep medications. He or she can make sure the pills won't interact with your other medications or with an existing medical condition. Your doctor can also help you determine the best dosage. If you do take a sleep medication, reduce the dosage gradually when you want to quit, and never mix alcohol and sleeping pills. If you feel sleepy or dizzy during the day, talk to your doctor about changing the dosage or discontinuing the pills.
Nearly everyone has occasional sleepless nights. But if you have trouble sleeping on a regular or frequent basis, see your doctor. You could have a sleep disorder, such as obstructive sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome. Identifying and treating the cause of your sleep disturbance can help get you back on the road to a good night's sleep.
Good luck getting that shut-eye and here's to sweet dreams tonight!
