How to Achieve Emotional & Mental Balance Through Exercise
Most of us exercise to lose weight, gain muscle or to prevent diseases and other complications with our bodies. But, have you thought about sweating to better our mind and soul? I think it's safe to say we are all aware of the many physical benefits we get through exercise, but sometimes we forget how beneficial it can be for our emotional and mental health as well. There is not a specific exercise that will target stress relief or improve your mood, but the best way to achieve emotional and mental balance is by doing exercises that you really enjoy. Once you are able to get into a fitness routine that you love, you will be able to enjoy the multiple benefits it can provide for your mind!
Relieves Depression
Exercise releases powerful chemicals in the brain that energizes your spirit. These chemicals are called endorphins. When we are depressed, sometimes people may find themselves coping with it in unhealthy ways (drugs, alcohol, etc.). Working out helps us to cope with depression in a healthy way by naturally lifting your mood.
Reduces Stress
Are there a lot of things going on in your head? I know the feeling. Just thinking of everything in the house that needs to be cleaned stresses me out. Did you know that exercising can reduce your everyday stress and helps to clear your mind? Going for a run won't sweep away all life's troubles, but maintaining a regular fitness routine can help you take control of your anxiety and ease your frustrations.
Improves Learning
The endorphins released through physical activity not only makes you feel better, but it also helps you concentrate and stay mentally focused for the many tasks you may have at hand. Exercise also increases the level of brain chemicals, which aides in building brain cells.
Boosts Self-Confidence
When you exercise regularly, you will normally begin to feel better about your body. This can lead to improving the way you think about yourself, which increases your self-confidence. If you are consistent with your strength training and cardio routine, you will reach your fitness goals in no time. Reaching your fitness goals and being able to physically see your body progress is a surefire way to boost your self-esteem!
Sleep Better
Exercise can help your body feel more relaxed at night, which can aid in getting some good sleep. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise can help regulate your sleeping patterns. Have you ever had a great workout and laid down on the bed or couch a few hours later? I can feel all of my muscles relaxing and my mind is at ease, which tells me that my body is prepared for a nice sleep. Even if you only have time for a quick workout at night, you can try some relaxing exercises to help you sleep better (for example; stretching or yoga).
Social Benefits
As your self-confidence increases you may become more comfortable reaching out to others and become more social. Taking classes or going to a gym that offers a fun, energetic workout can introduce you to new people. When I started noticing positive changes in my body, I felt more comfortable going out and socializing with others.
A regular exercise routine can help you look, feel, and think better! 9Round is my choice of exercise to help me reach my fitness goals. Not only am I getting a full body workout in just 30 minutes, but punching and kicking bags can be such an amazing feeling!

The Arab Spring: pro-democracy uprisings currently sweeping the Middle East and North Africa.
This wave of "revolutions" was said to be sparked by the self-immolation of now famed Mohammed Bouazizi, who was crashed by the seizure of his fruit cart and ill-treatment by a municipal official in his native Sidi Bouzid, after his computer science degree could not bring his many dreams to life in Tunisia. According to experts, his sad story angered many, fuelling protests on the streets of Sidi Bouzid, Tunis and elsewhere in the North African country. Almost suddenly, Tunisians' eyes were opened to the prevailing ambiance of corruption, social stagnation and dictatorship, which pushed Mohammed to end his young life. The protests boiled on and persisted, against hardline measures by security officials, until the erstwhile president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, a man who has been at the summit of power for 23 years, stepped down. The heroics of the Tunisian people were told, replayed and propagated by the powerful Western media, Al-Jazeera and social media. Soon citizens of countries in the region: Egypt, Libya, Jordan, Syria, Morrocco, among others started their own protests, giving birth to what academics and journalists called the Arab Spring.
Granted that conditions similar to what precipitated the Arab spring persist in Africa, south of the Sahara, the question has been posed by the BBC in its Africa Debate "is an African spring necessary?" Is an "African spring" looming on the 2012 horizon?
My honest answer is no. The violence, deaths and destructions resulting from protests are not what Africa needs at this moment. In fact, Africa has had its fair share of coups and realignments in its social order, some of which it has not recovered from yet. Malawian academic Jimmy Kainja expresses this thought better:
African Spring in the exact fashion of the Arab Spring would signify a step backwards - not a step forward.
In fact, it would make a mockery of all that the majority of African countries achieved in the late 1980s and the early 1990s - when they did away with dictators and presidents-for-life in favour of multiparty democracies.
It is commonly held that "a problem, once identified is half solved." What needs to be done in Africa is refinement of our democratic systems so as to get them to work in the way we want. In many African countries, government goes and government comes, but still the people see no change. Protests and wars, resulting in deaths, injuries and destruction of valuable national assets will not bring immediate solutions to our socio-economic problems. I don't see the change whatever government any uprising raises will bring. However, if we continue setting up governance structures, going after corrupt officials, voting out incompetent governments, cutting down on discrimination in its many forms, building patriotic consciousness and collaborating meaningfully with the larger world, we stand a better chance at progress.
And while angry citizens are calming down, looking for alternate paths towards socio-economic development and fulfillment, those in authority should be reminded that whatever offices they occupy should be in the service of the people. It will take only time for pent-up feelings and frustrations of deprived souls to reach that critical mass to explode Arab spring style. Institutional renewal should be catalysed immediately through governance reforms that would bring efficiency and results to the people.
Youth development, starting with our educational systems, should be at the centre of any strategy to pave the way forward. The youth themselves are taking many initiatives to bring change to their communities and beyond. Their efforts must be supported through the creation of jobs, scholarship opportunities, skills training, funding among others. The youth are our future, they hold the key to the Africa we want to see. The blood of the likes of Mohammed should not be on our heads.

Looks like it could be nice, but it's not working for me on my Android phone. Just sits there at "loading" after logging in.
Will there be some way to get to the full interface if we need to? Is this a limited interface or can we do everything we can in the full interface with this? I do occasionally need to really get in there from wherever I happen to be and make a substantive change to my store or a product while on the go.
August 09 2011, 07:25PM
It's gimped on my Android too. All dates fail as well. We display dates in the correct order in Australia… DD/MM/YY
August 09 2011, 09:22PM
Bummer for you guys, it's pretty cool on my iPhone and iPad. Thanks Shopify peeps
August 10 2011, 09:29AM
@Jeff and @Louis
That's quite strange, since I've done much of the development against a Nexus One.
If you logged into your shop before this announcement there may be a strange caching issue going on. Clearing your browser cache should fix it.
August 10 2011, 12:50PM
The mobile worked on my iPhone for a couple of days, however for the last 4 days it won't load. iPhone calls my the browser page. I have both the browser and the On the Go published.
(However, when it was working it was a beautiful thing. Any ideas on what we need to do to get it running.
The only big issue I see is the mobile interface calls for the product list, this creates a hugh usability problem as large product list return too much data. The option to return collections would be a winning solution!
August 11 2011, 03:01AM
I am glad it is available to Android users, but when will you guys put out a working app for the iphone?
August 17 2011, 06:50PM
Can you still access the "old" admin someway? The mobile app isn't usable for my store because the fulfill action causes an email to be sent to the customer saying their product has shipped, when it's actually only been fulfilled to the factory and won't ship for a week or so (products are custom made to order). There's no way to disable sending the shipped email to the customer like there is on the regular web admin. Does the web mobile have the same limitation?
August 19 2011, 03:30PM
Currently the mobile admin offers read-only to much of it, with the ability to modify product information (tags, inventory, etc).
You can still access the standard admin interface by clicking on the "More" button on the bottom of the mobile admin screen. From there you'll see a "Use Regular Admin" button.
We reduced the number of items returned all the pageable items down to 50 per request. You'll need to make more requests to get your products, but they should respond much faster.
August 22 2011, 03:11PM
Great – thank you for keeping the link to the full admin around. It's the best of both worlds to use the mobile admin for simple stuff and regular admin for more complex interactions.
August 25 2011, 12:48PM
it's not working at all on opera mini + blackberry bold.
September 08 2011, 06:19PM
also not working on iPod Touch 1st G.
September 08 2011, 06:20PM
on iPod touch the screen stays white and it is also not posible to access the old admin.

ios5 has killed the shopify app on iPhone guys. it was a bit flaky before but now it crashes more often than not & no traffic data is being pulled through.
October 26 2011, 08:13AM
Me too. Can't do anything now with OS5.
October 27 2011, 10:57AM
Same for me iOS 5 has killed it completely no traffic data, un reliable inventory data and orders don't get pulled through. Never once got push notifications for orders also which was annoying!
Sort it out Shopify especially as you pride yourselves on great customer service.
May 28 2012, 09:07AM
I can't see a Blackberry App anywhere for this?…
January 30 2013, 03:17PM
I'm using a Nexus. I've cleared the cache – still nothing.
Have you given up on this app? Please try, it would be so useful. Thanks,
February 25 2013, 04:47PM

aaamaretto needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 92 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
I'm a designer looking for some creative help for logo design.
Pet lovers of all ages, mainly from USA.
I would like to see a unique logo with minimal color usage (ideal for print) (2-4 colors) that would look great on a website, decal or tshirt/hat. I would like people to feel proud to wear this logo on clothing or hats because of it's appearance and because it's a meaningful organization.
The logo really needs to be simple yet create an impact. It is a "pet" oriented site but mostly focusing on dogs and cats.
FYI - the website will be redesigned with a red white blue and tan color scheme

Shrek Kart Review
When it rains, it pours. It took a while for kart racers to speed onto the iPhone, but now that they're here, they're coming in droves. And what would Gameloft be if it did not capitalize on this and further secure their rising dominance of the platform? Like every other game from the publisher, this one sparkles and shines with lots of visual finesse (minus a few frame rate speed bumps), but the kart racing formula has not evolved much in the 17 years since the debut of the original Mario Kart. Shrek Kart does little to further that evolution, and your affection for (or tolerance of) the game may depend on your love of the Shrek franchise.
Whereas your racing sims such as Forza and Gran Turismo are all about the cars, kart racers are all about the tracks. Sure, the karts (and their drivers) have a few handling differences, but nothing that is going to severely overpower the rubber band AI so typical of these games. No matter how well you do, expect a few opponents to miraculously ride your tail the whole time.
There are 10 racers in all, all notable characters from the movies, and as expected, you'll have to unlock the bulk of them by playing through the game's various modes (four in all, including Tournament and Arena) and winning challenges. 11 power-ups litter the courses, ranging from turning your opponent into a pumpkin or shielding yourself with, you guessed it, shields; most of these are just rebranded weapons or defenses we've seen before.
Cat in a hot lava cave.
The tracks are the game's biggest draw. Those familiar with the films will easily recognize Shrek's swamp and the castle and village of Far, Far Away. Others in the lineup of 15 tracks are less noteworthy from a nostalgia standpoint but are nicely themed, nonetheless. The tracks are not completely flat, and there are enough ramps and hairpin turns to keep the driving interesting. Still, none of them are quite on par with some of, say, Mario Kart's best tracks. Considering that we'll never see that gem ported to the iPhone, we'll take what we can get.
As previously mentioned, your ultimate take on the game will depend on how you feel about the movies (we personally stopped caring after the second film). Shrek Kart offers a lot to do for those who are somewhat invested in the characters and locales, but if that isn't the case for you, expect to get bored with retreading old ground again and again to earn better lap records. Local wifi play with up to six others is an appreciated addition, and it works well enough to be worth your time. Playing against others is always more fun than against shoddy AI.
Shrek Kart is not perfect, and there are some viable contenders out there for the kart-racing crown, even if this game in particular stands out visually among the crowd. Visual polish can only get you so far, though, and we would have liked to have seen more upgrades to the formula rather than just a new coat of paint. Even if its a bit derivative, Shrek Kart doesn't do a whole lot wrong, and kart racing done right is fun even if it is a bit unoriginal.

Lee S necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 134 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
PeachyMom.com | Daily Deals at Peachy Prices!
peachymom.com is a new discount product site for moms! it is a wordpress based site (very web 2.0) featuring a new product each day, as well as other cool video features.
demographic: women ages 25-55
they buy online, they like finding "finds" or good deals, they're sophisticated, but not too upscale.
the color scheme for the site is not yet set and might be based on the logo colors, but i have attached an image that shows a number of possible color combinations for the site that i like.
i am not interested in the image of an actual peach (the fruit). rather, i would like to see some caricatures of women with their cheeks sporting a nice peachy color! i would like to see either 1 woman or several women together, looking happy and social, and interactive. if you can fit in a woman or women engaging in activities that are mommy-oriented, that would be great. (a woman pushing a stroller or holding a child, a woman shopping for groceries or clothes, a woman working on an arts & crafts project.)
i would love to see a fresh and unique type of caricature for these women.
as i mentioned, it can be 1 woman doing something, or a line of women engaged in different activities (a horizontal type logo). the name of the company needs to be a part of the logo + the tagline.
if possible, i would like to see the ".com" part featured as an exclamation point, as in: "PeachyMom ! com" -- i'm not sure if this can translate aesthetically, so don't sweat it too much if it's not working. above all, it does need to read as PeachyMom.com (in other words, ".com" is part of the name). i'm open to all lower case, all upper, or combination. font: clear & readable.

Scientific American presents Tech Talker by Quick & Dirty Tips. Scientific American and Quick & Dirty Tips are both Macmillan companies.
In this week's episode I'll explore file syncing services. File syncing services or programs do exactly what they sound like: They sync your files across multiple devices. This can be particularly useful if you go between multiple computers or mobile devices in any given day and need all of your files to be up to date.
As of right now there are a handful of these services available, each with its pros and cons.
Why do You Need File Syncing?
If you don't already use one of these file syncing services, let me give you an example of why you might want to start. Say you're working on a file on your desktop computer at home, but your family insists you go with them to the family reunion in another state. You can take a copy of the file with you on a flash drive, edit the document on a laptop, resave it to your flash drive, and put it back on your desktop when you get home. Or you can save yourself all these steps and simply keep everything up to date with one click. A file syncing program will create a folder on your desktop and everything you put into that folder will be synced across your devices via the internet. So when you access that folder later on another device, it will appear exactly as it is on the computer you last worked on it. No extra work or transferring or different versions to worry about whatsoever!

Guardiola 'won't decide future until early 2013'
Former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, linked in the media with the Chelsea job after the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo, will not make any decision on his future until early next year, his agent said on Wednesday.
"I was with him 15 days ago and he told me that before January or February he won't decide which club he will coach or if he will be sitting on any bench next season," agent Josep Maria Orobitg was quoted as saying by Brazilian sports newspaper Lance.
"It doesn't matter what happens, before that time he will not take any decision with any club or national team," Orobitg added.
"He alone will decide his future because he has a lot of personality.
"Right now he is with his family, resting, reading, watching football. In January he'll start thinking about which team he will coach next season."
Guardiola led Barca, the club where he began his playing career, to 14 trophies in the 19 competitions he contested during his four-year stint in charge, including two Champions League crowns and three La Liga titles.
The 41-year-old former Spain midfielder quit at the end of last season saying he wanted a rest from football and is currently living in New York with his family.
Italian Di Matteo was sacked earlier on Wednesday despite leading Chelsea to their first Champions League title last season.
The Premier League club lost 3-0 at Juventus on Tuesday, leaving them on the brink of elimination from Europe's elite club competition.

text: I recently had a new Kitchenaid side by side refrigerator come through my shop that caught my attention because of the new look of the dispenser. I had run across the service update covering these new changes on the Whirlpool and Kitchenaid products some time ago, so it was nice to finally get my hands into one. And with my camera at the ready, I took a few photos to share in this article and thought I would add a few comments 0n things I noticed along the way. Ready or not, lets take a look at the 2008 offering from Whirlpool.Looking InsideI think overall the new look of this dispenser is a welcome change to the push button design of old, and the addition of a new graphical display (and temperature control on the Iconic LCD version) is a nice touch. And really the best part of it all is you remove the panels just like the old style so the learning curve should be very short. The most notable change to me was the new low voltage display and control board mounted to the back of the dispenser panel. There are three versions of this display as outlined in the update above depending on which of the products you are working on, and the features and functions will change along with these boards. This board (code named Puma) is the heart of the dispenser taking in all control inputs from the user buttons along with the water and ice paddle switch inputs.A New Dispenser Board....The Puma board, then interprets and communicates these inputs directly to the appropriate control board (code named Taurus or Gemini) which will then control each of the individual load components. This is a departure from the AC voltage buttons and switches we are familiar with that provide direct control of these machine functions. So the good news is there is no high voltage AC in the dispenser area anymore, and even the lighting has been replaced by a small LED board. The bad news, if I could find any, is all the functions we are used to being controlled from the dispenser (such as the water valve and ice auger direction) are all controlled from the main board, so you will need to be aware of these differences when encountering dispenser related service calls.....And Control BoardThese changes can be seen on the new tech sheet for these units and in usual manufacture fashion, you may notice no pin out voltage or function labels on the boards. So we are left in the dark as to what these wires are used for and what (if any) voltage measurements we should be reading. But because all the operations are being performed on just these two boards, it shouldn't be difficult to diagnose which one is having the problem and get it replaced. Also, along with the usual diagnostic instructions for the refrigerator located on the tech sheet, a series of new dispenser diagnostics has been added that looked interesting, but when I accessed them, I found it to be a neat way to turn on all the display indicators and lights, but that is about it. I guess if something is not working, replace the board.Overall I liked the look of this new display and the fact of it being just as easy to get to doesn't hurt either. My trouble shooting thinking will need to be modified for this new setup, but as of late, that seems to be a common occurrence as these new models and changes enter the market. If you don't have a chance to see one of these unit anytime soon, here is a link to a simulator that highlights the features of the new LCD display (let me know if you ever get the glass filled with ice) and gives you a chance interact from the comfort of your desk. Now if I could just fix them from here too.

Luke Bryan, 'Spring Break 4 … Suntan City' EP – Album Review
Luke Bryan's new EP 'Spring Break 4 … Suntan City' is like a good speed boat. Owning one is pretty cool, but borrowing your buddy's whenever you need it is even better.
Bryan has recorded four Panama City-flavored country songs that take on all of the cliche moments of Spring Break — the hook-up, the break-up, the sun and the surf. For some, it will play like a soundtrack to a wild week from many years ago. For others, it will be a reminder of how uncool they were in high school and college.
The steamy 'Shake the Sand' is a highlight amongst the bunch. "Let's shake the sand of the sheets / Take the shoes of your feet / Slide the door on open / Listen to the waves on the beach," Bryan sings during this love song.
This follows the mini-album's low point, 'Little Bit Later On,' which sounds like it came from skit night at summer camp.
If you've got spring break plans that involve suntan lotion and sexy strangers willing to rub it in, Bryan has your soundtrack. The truth is, most people stay home and work or hang out with family over the spring break vacation. Play this album into any other from the singer's catalog — like his most recent project 'Tailgates and Tanlines' — and it becomes obvious the recording was tossed together quickly. It that way, it is sort of like Spring Break.

Dan C. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 327 diseños de 89 diseñadores freelance.
We are a remedial massage practice in the process of creating a unique online platform for therapists Australia wide with the potential for international expansion.
As our clients will be remedial massage therapists eligible to offer health rebates for their treatments we are not looking for a light and fuzzy kind of logo that you may see related to a beauty clinic style massage.
It needs to be strong but fun, medical but not sterile and have a subtle IT/techy feel to it.
Y gens & X gens, male and female remedial massage therapists.
Predominantly between the ages of 18yrs to 35yrs.
Massage therapists are generally people who have chosen this profession because they get a certain satisfaction from helping people, so they are a bit more easy going than doctors or physiotherapists.
We require a logo concept that will be used predominantly in a website we are developing. Therapists will be looking at our website regularly throughout the day and we would like them to feel comfortable and a sense of pride being related to our brand.
A few points to consider include:
- Relatively soothing to the eye due to frequency of website interaction (low irritability).
- No soft colours such as lavendar or lemon.
- No drawings/pictures of hands, bodies or leafs in the logo (far too common for company logos in our industry)
- Nothing light and fluffy..the target audience are medical professionals.
- The logo will be predominantly on the website but will also occasionaly be transfered to offline marketing collateral such as biz cards, print media, shirts.
- It would be good if you could have your logo design set against 3 different coloured backgrounds on the one sheet for comparison purposes. Preferably green, white and dark steely grey.
- We envisage the logo would be rectangular in shape (horizontally) rather than square.
- Combinations of emassage, e-massage, e massage will be considered.
UPDATE: N.B - Many of the designs received to date (as of 26/11) have been of a similar vein. The majority of designs have met the brief which is great, however, it would be nice to see a few riskier designs that break the current trend. It might just pay dividends in the countdown to prize day!
Thanks and good luck!

Busch Gardens will offer a Christmas Town Fun Card for $30 this season.
Like park "Fun Cards" during other seasons, the card will allow visitors to pay for a single-day visit and return an unlimited number of times during the holiday season.
In September, Busch Gardens announced a Christmas Town annual pass add-on for annual pass members. The add-on, which offers unlimited admission to Christmas Town along with general pass member benefits like free parking and in-park discounts, also costs $30.
Single-day tickets increased by $3 this year over 2012 prices.
The passes will be available for purchase at www.christmastown.com/va around 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 1.
The pass member add-on was offered at a discounted $25 rate through Oct. 31. That offer has expired.
In past years, Busch Gardens has offered deeply discounted tickets through announcements on Twitter. Such offers will not be available this year, spokesman Kevin Crossett says.
A press release announcing the 2013 Fun Card and pass add-on says this:
"The Christmas Town Pass is the best deal available for active Annual Pass members."
"This is meant to ensure pass members that they are getting the best deal that is available," Crossett says.
An annual pass costs $120.
UPDATE: Coupons for $5 off single-day tickets (making them $25) are available at Farm Fresh, Papa John's Pizza, and Chick-fil-A. Wendy's restaurants in the Washington DC and Maryland area will offer coupons for $10 off (or $20 off using an online promo code) for a multi-day flex ticket.
Christmas Town will open on Nov. 22, about a week earlier than scheduled dates in past years. It will be open to the public on select dates through Dec. 31.

The Arctic: A History
A. Sutton, 1994 - History - 340 pages
This book provides a unique and thoroughly researched history of the lands and seas lying north of the Arctic Circle, from their earliest occupation around 12,000 years ago to the present day. Geographically, it embraces all the truly Arctic countries: the northern shores of Russia extend approximately halfway round the northern hemisphere; the United States, Canada and Denmark had their stakes in the Arctic too, and much exploration was undertaken there by Britain. As well as describing the explorers and colonists of the Arctic and the various and thwarted attempts to forge a trade route through the North-West or North-East Passages - including those by the great sixteenth-century explorer Willem Barentsz, and by Henry Hudson, who died after a mutiny and whose name lives on in Hudson Bay - the book also studies the region's indigenous inhabitants, in particular the Inuit and Samoyed peoples. Archaeological evidence of early habitation is considered, including the remarkable Whale Alley on Yttygran Island in Russia's Far East, an Arctic 'Stonehenge'. Later chapters cover the history of whaling, of the Hudson's Bay Company and other fur traders, and of the exploitation of the Arctic's natural resources. In the twentieth century exploration for the purposes of scientific research began and conservation became an important issue. The final chapters consider the survival of the indigenous peoples of the Arctic today, and the strategic and scientific significance of the region. Illustrated with contemporary illustrations, photographs and maps, The Arctic. A History is the only account of the history of the area, and will also appeal to anyone interested in its geography and anthropology.

Former Miss Kentucky & Miss America Top 10 Finalist Comes Out Of The Closet
The pageant world is notorious for being slow to accept beauty queens who don't fit squarely under the "heterosexual" label. Homophobia has poured forth from the industry's biggest stars on many occasions, with reactions to Canadian trans queen Jenna Talackova most recently piercing the pop culture bubble. Thankfully, the pageant industry has found its long overdue and much needed gay pioneer from the national stage: former Miss Kentucky 2010 (and previous Miss America Top 10 Finalist) Djuan Trent has come out of the closet.
In a post published on her personal blog "Life In 27," Trent writes:
For months, I have been contemplating how I would write this post, how I would position it, when would be the right time to post it. Should I make it funny? Should I make it mysterious? Should I make it serious? Should I pick a special date to do it? Should I build some kind of anticipation around it? Hmmm...ain't nobody got time for that. I have written and re-written and deleted and restarted this post more times than I care to share, and after all of that I have finally realized: "There ain't nothin' to it, but to do it." So, here we go folks...
I am queer.
Well, that was easy! But wait- was it really? Sure, it was easy to type up that three word sentence, sure. But that doesn't discount the fact that my armpits are sweating, my mind is racing, and my hands are shaking just a bit. I can't control the sweaty pits, racing mind, and jittery hands, so I'll just keep writing.
I could write about what it was like to come out to my mom for the third and final time at the age of 26 (the first time was when I was in the 4th grade and the second time was in college). I could write about the years I spent praying to a God whom I wanted so badly to serve with all of my heart, but couldn't understand why this God made me "wrong". I could write about all the times that people have asked me if I have a boyfriend and I've purposely chosen to just say "no" with no further explanation. I could write about all the reasons I have been told I shouldn't be gay (that's an interesting list). I could write about all the times I talked about how gross it was when a girl had a crush on me, even though I may have secretly liked her too. I could write about how scared I have felt that I would have to watch friends and family members walk out of my life if I ever decided to come out. I could write about how disappointed I have been in myself for being an open supporter by day, and living it up in the safety of the closet by night. I could write books about all of those things...but what has really fueled my passion in writing today, has been this...
Trent goes on to explain that the federal judge's ruling that struck down Kentucky's refusal to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states is what inspired her to come out and tell her story.
Congratulations, Djuan! Your muffin basket and Homosexual Agenda for 2014 are in the post.
Nit pick the hell out of everything people do... SHE came out her OWN way, her choice of words should be the least of our concerns...Where is the support people? We are changing a NATION one person at a time. We are on the cusp of EQUALITY but people like you nay sayers will always have to have something to bitch and moan about. You should be ashamed. IM QUEER! IM GAY! bla bla get over your labels. I came here to look for good news. I will not be back. Will continue my search for a totally positive place to share triumphs and joy.
Depending on your age, where you grew up, and probably many other factors, the word "queer" is offensive to a lot of gay folks. I am 57, grew up in the South, and I am not in favor of using that word to describe my "gayness." I have talked to many who are not bothered in the slightest by that descriptor. So, I guess that it is one of those words that will never have universal use in the Gay Community.

seraphina shawl
I thought the hard part was going to be choosing the yarn. The pattern calls for a 10 ply/worsted weight yarn and a 6.0mm hook. But I didn't want a shawl which would be chunky and bulky and heavy... so I knew I would need to use a lighter weight of yarn...
But what? I'm not a fancy girl, by any means... and I definitely didn't want a fancy shawl. Casual suits me perfectly. In fact, I'll more than likely be teaming the shawl with a pair of jeans!
I ummm-ed and ahhh-ed for the longest time, before finally making my decision...
I'm combining these two lightweight yarns. The blue is a denim kind of colour, and is made up of two strands... one slightly darker than the other. It's a cotton which I recycled from a men's jumper. The variegated purple is a lightweight wool, which I bought second hand from a charity store. Worked together, they form approximately an 8ply/DK weight cotton/wool blend. Using the 6.0mm hook, it offers a nice drape.
Now... listen carefully...
IF you are interested in making this shawl, here is the original pattern
BUT I highly recommend... actually, NO... I INSIST that you click here and go over to Crochetville, before you pick up your hook.
Many crafters have made this shawl before, and many have struggled with the original pattern. The nice people over at Crochetville have re-worded the pattern in a couple of different formats. Scroll down the page when you are over there, and you will see there are a number of different 'versions' of the pattern. The first post is a very wordy (but informative) description of the steps involved. Then in the next post there is a chart for those of you who prefer to work with a diagram. Thirdly, there is a basic description of how the pattern works.
Would I recommend this pattern to others?
Yes... BUT... be prepared... the first 10 rows are a struggle. You are setting up the pattern for the rest of the shawl, but it seems fiddly at this point, and nothing seems to 'flow' or make sense. You need to lock yourself away, with no distractions for this stage. It's stitch-by-stitch work in the beginning, but once you get into the flow... MUCH EASIER!
Over at Ravelry, 485 people have made this shawl... so it is DO-able...
Have you tried it yet?

It does look very wearable. I've stuck to very simple patterns as well, so far, so it would be another challenge.
But the colours of your shawl... *(jealous)sigh*. I need to find some more yarn I actually LIKE before I start something complicated ;-)
I shall be following your progress :-)

I agree with you Purple, the first 10 rows are difficult, but once you have jumped over that hurdle it is a dream. I like what you are doing with your's, nice and light weight.

Ya knoooooooooooooooooow, I want to make everything you show. UGH! I also think that I started this some time ago and stopped, probably because I couldn't "get" the pattern. Thanks for the tip about Crochetville. Oh, and I love love love the colors. I've been really looking at sweaters since "meeting you" and, someday, I'm going to try to take one apart. I really think you need to fly to Florida and show me in person. I've got a guest room! :) Blessings, Leslie

Hi I am crocheting my 4rth Seraphina's Shawl. It is so cozy, looks so well, and warm during the winter. As I am not an english speaking person, I thought I was the only one struggling with the firsts rows. Even though I love the shawl. I had use a H8 5mm hook, with wool and acrylic blend yarn. After you survive the firsts rows it is so easy and relaxing crochet. I recommend it. Nice and classy.

|Tara Labs Raided - Over 42,000 Cables Seized
|Monday, 13 September 2004
raided the offices and warehouse of Ashland, Oregon-based high-end
audio cable company Tara Labs last week, according to news sources. The
raid is reportedly due to the company falsely claiming to make their
cables in the United States when they were outsourcing the
manufacturing overseas.
Mathew Bond, the founder of Tara Labs, denies knowing of the infraction
and claims, "These mistakes were rectified and won't happen here
again." That might not be good enough for Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), which has been tracking the alleged violations since
The raids come just days before the CEDIA trade show that highlights the best in audio/video targeting the custom installer market. Tara Labs was not in attendance at the show.
Other high-end cable manufacturers spoke out about the scandal, suggesting that there may be more cable companies that do worse than repackage cable from China. This scandal and any potential conviction could do great harm to the high-end cable business. AV industry icons like Noel Lee, founder of Monster Cable, and Karen Sumner, president of Transparent cable, along with others, have spent millions marketing and teaching the importance of cables for mid-to-high-level AV systems. Critics say cables make no difference in an AV system, but they are wrong. Hopefully, the Tara Labs scandal will not taint the consumers' view on the need for high-performance cables in home theater systems.

Ron Schwartau, Board Member at Minnesota Rural Electric Association, gave an interesting counterpoint to the "Time to Consider Solar (Mar. issue)," in which we reported on the recent interest in solar panels due to a drop in system pricing. Schwartau writes:
"Time to Consider Solar" was interesting but not entirely accurate in portrayal of solar and other renewable energy.
The mistake is in stating that "the additional energy created...is fed into the utility grid and stored there to provide backup supply when needed." The wires don't store energy for use later. The only ways to currently store the power for use later are with very expensive battery systems or pumped air/water storage,( which then has to be run through a generator again).
These systems are expensive and add to the overall cost of power for the eventual consumer.

Some people criticize our rural electric cooperatives and other utilities as not being supportive of distributed renewable generation. But that is not the case. Even our rural electric systems are engaged in renewable power.
Our cooperative, for example, owns a large wind turbine and will in the near future install some PV solar as well. Where we really run into problems is when governments require utilities to pay retail price for power generated by distributed generation, such as PV and wind owned by consumers or members, with little regard to the cost of providing the distribution of backup power to those facilities. These costs are then being shifted to other consumer/members. If distributed generation becomes the norm, some means of recovering the costs of our current transmission and distribution costs will have to become part of the equation. And the same can be said of generation. If wind suddenly stops or the sun sets( which it seems to do every day) and we have not developed affordable storage systems for excess distributed generation, then base load generation is required to provide those consumers with power. Those generation facilities take time to spin up to meet demand if there is a sudden shift on the grid. Additionally, those generation facilities cannot exist without a financial model which recovers their costs.
As you can see it is not a simple problem, or as simple as some people seem to think.

Want to erase those annoying wrinkles around your mouth and nose? Desire smoother, more youthful skin? You've come to the right place. LaserAway North Dallas now offers Juvéderm, a revolutionary dermal filler that instantly banishes wrinkles around the mouth and nose.
Juvéderm is so powerful that its results can last up to a year—and after only a single treatment. Because Juvéderm's dermal gel is smooth rather than granular, a single injection of it makes skin look smooth, natural, and youthful. This is because the unique formulation of Juvéderm's gel promotes hydration of the skin as well as restores volume to the skin and its underlying structures. Juvéderm is so powerful it can even treat acne scars and augment lips!
Juvéderm leaves other dermal fillers in the dust. It's far superior in both consistency and results, and it's the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of color.
We are proud to offer North Dallas this innovative medical spa treatment. To ensure our clients have the best experience possible, we hire top medical professionals to administer our Juvéderm treatments, meaning you're always in good hands when you chose LaserAway.
The treatment itself is simple. Before applying the Juvéderm injections, our medical professionals will mark strategic points on your face as guides to the appropriate injection sites for the filler. Then they will clean the injection sites with antibacterial soap and administer a topical anesthetic to numb the area. The actual injections take only a few minutes. Afterwards, all marks are cleaned and an ice pack is applied to the treatment site.

One of the single-biggest reasons behind the continued strength of retail real estate has been that despite a series of shocks to the system–wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the housing, exploding gas prices, deadly hurricanes, and on and on–Americans have kept shopping. Consumer spending seemed to whether every storm despite warnings from many quarters that a demise was imminent.
So when the same-store figures for April came in showing it had been the worst month in the nearly 40 years that same-store sales stats have been tracked, one had to wonder if it was a momentary hiccup or the beginning of the oft-predicted death knell of the American consumer.
At the ICSC Convention, most seem to be voting for the former. The combination of it being the coldest April in a decade, high gas prices and the April shift that pushed more Easter-related sales into March laid the groundwork for one bad month. But everyone seems to have put that behind now.
"Retailers aren't looking at April," says Greg Maloney, president and CEO of retail for Jones Lang LaSalle. "Every single retailer I talk to says they're looking at the first four months together." And from that view, they like what they see, he says.
One professional who is a bit more worried is to Eric Lutz, principal of Farmington Hills, Mich.-based Lutz Real Estate Investments, who says April sales were a preview of what's to come, primarily laying the blame on the troubles in the single-family housing market. "So many people have gotten variable rate loans, plus another factor is the halo effect — if you thought your house was worth $100,000, and now you realize it's worth only $30,000, you are more hesitant to go to the mall," Lutz says.
Timothy W. Murnane, senior vice President and general manager of real estate development with Opus, says he thinks troubles have to do with particular sectors rather then there being across the board problems.
"Some retail such as home improvement may be going through a rough period whereas others like Target and JCPenney are picking up the slack," he says.

DENVER -- Longmont discovered her; the community always has that.
Emma Wallingford now lives in Denver, where she's a music student at the University of Colorado's Auraria campus. But the Silver Creek High School graduate made her mark in 2008, when she sang her way to the top spot in the first-ever Longmont Idol competition.
That experience -- going from a nervous teen performer, unsure of her abilities, to stepping on stage and earning the Idol title -- helped propel her to where she is now.
She credits Longmont Idol for her achievements.
"I feel like that was one of the main factors of (my) coming into my own as a performer," she said. The Idol contestants bonded through the slate of competitions, and taught her much about her identity as a performer.
Today, she's a member of CU-Denver's elite a cappella ensemble Mix, which recently came in second place at SoJam, one of the biggest a cappella competitions in the country. The eight-member Mix has qualified for the quarterfinals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella and has appeared on a couple of local television stations' morning news shows.
Wallingford also is making a mark as the singer for Drop Switch, a rock and hip-hop act that performs in Denver venues and has opened for Asher Roth.
Drop Switch integrates two vocalists, Wallingford and a rapper, and one of her main musical interests nowadays is hip-hop. She doesn't herself rap, however, though she said, "I wish I could."
Wallingford, whose style recalls Adele and Lauryn Hill, has a powerful, bluesy voice. It booms at times. At others it quivers with emotion.
A junior, Wallingford studies music performance and music business. She is committed to a life in music.
"I've really come into the fact that I'm a singer," she said, "and that's what I'll do for a career."

About Me
Sylvia Eng
Hi I am Sylvia!
I was inspired to learn the art photography when I adopted my second child. She has albinism and is very photo-phobic. My point and shoot flash was hurting her eyes and I was missing out on precious memories because I needed specialized skills and equipment to capture her in photos. Because of her my style has developed to photograph completely flash free. My children were my inspiration to learn this craft so I named my business after them (Squeaker and Yoyo are their nicknames).
Although this is a newer artistic medium for me, I have studied visual arts my whole life and graduated with a degree in digital media. Before that I was a fashion model, so images and photography have always been a passion of mine.
I know what it is like to be on both sides of the lens. My goal as your photographer is to use my experience as a model to coach you though the shoot to ensure you look your very best. I consider the style I provide to be an art form, taking your image and adding a touch of digital magic. Sprinkling your images with creativity, imagination and just a tiny bit of faerie dust. The result is always a relaxed and beautiful experience.
I photograph in the greater Toronto area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Milton, Oakville, Orangeville, Acton, Georgetown and Caledon. I look forward to working with you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

But she is helping educate the world about the risks of the HPV vaccine and its potential to cause mental retardation! She's not a doctor, but someone told her about this so it must be true.

I'm back now from Ohio. The showing of the rough cut of my documentary went really well. It was held at a bar in Parma, Ohio called the Jigsaw Saloon. I was amazed to see that most of the folks who showed up early for the film, and there were quite a lot of them, actually watched the thing. They seemed to enjoy it a lot and I received a lot of compliments afterwards. While I was in Ohio, I taped a bunch more interviews for inclusion in the final version, which means I'm gonna have to get to work on that pretty soon.
One of the best things about the visit was getting to meet my friend Fraser "Suicyde" Sims again for the first time in 23 years. Fraser was the leader of a band called Starvation Army. I talked to him and his wife and found out they're both really interested in Buddhism. So, at one point while I was talking to them, Mrs. Suicyde says, "You don't seem very Zen."
I took that as a great compliment. I have very little patience with people who seem "Zen." If the only representatives of Buddhism I'd ever met were "Zen" seeming people, I would certainly never have developed any interest in the philosophy and practice of Buddhism. I'm really thankful I got to meet Tim McCarthy and Gudo Nishijima, neither of whom seem very "Zen" at all.
Basically I hate talking "Zen." I'd much rather discuss just about anything at all other than Zen. This is because most people who want to talk Zen have no real interest in the subject. They're not serious at all. They'd never even consider sitting on a cushion for an hour every day facing themselves down the way you'd face down an angry Rottwieller intent on making mincemeat out of your internal organs. I'm not interested in discussing Zen the way you might discuss whether the Lakers are better than the Celtics or whether Emo is cooler than Screamo or whether Elmo is cooler than the Cookie Monster or whatever. On the other hand, if a person is truly serious about the subject, I'm always available.
Screw it anyway. You don't care...

Brain Teasers
Ice it Up
Bob, an orange grower new to the industry, heard on the news that there was a forecast of freezing temperature for the low next morning. He hadn't picked his oranges yet because it was too early in the season and he was worried that he would lose everything. It seemed that he was doomed. John, a worker of his who was still in high school, came up with a plan. He told Bob that he learned of a way to protect his crops from freezing. All he needed was access to the watering hose. What did John do?
HintWhat is released when water freezes?
AnswerJohn sprayed the oranges with water and kept doing it throughout the night. The first thing that would freeze would be the water on the orange's surface. When this happens, it releases latent heat that will keep the orange from freezing. Also the layer of ice would insulate the orange from the atmosphere. The ice would melt as soon as the sun rises and brings the temperatures above freezing. Thus the oranges were saved.

Oscar Pistorius awarded bail
South African athlete Oscar Pistorius was awarded bail on Friday after being accused of murdering his girlfriend.
A South African court granted bail on Friday to Oscar Pistorius, charged with the murder of his girlfriend on Valentine's Day, after his lawyers argued the "Blade Runner" was too famous to flee justice.
The decision by Magistrate Desmond Nair drew cheers from the Paralympics star's family and supporters. Pistorius himself was unmoved, in marked contrast to the rest of the week-long hearing when he repeatedly broke down in tears.
Nair set bail at 1 million rand ($113,000) and postponed the case until June 4. Pistorius would be released only when the court receives 100,000 rand in cash, he added.
Less than an hour later, a silver Land Rover believed to be carrying Pistorius left the court compound and sped off through the capital, pursued by members of the media on motorcycles.
Pistorius, 26, was also ordered to hand over firearms and his two South African passports, avoid his home and all witnesses in the case, report to a police station twice a week and to abstain from drinking alcohol.
The decision followed a week of dramatic testimony about how the athlete shot dead model and law graduate Reeva Steenkamp at his luxury home near Pretoria in the early hours of February 14.
Prosecutors said Pistorius committed premeditated murder when he fired four shots into a locked toilet door, hitting his girlfriend cowering on the other side. Steenkamp, 29, suffered gunshot wounds to her head, hip and arm.
Pistorius said the killing was a tragic mistake, saying he had mistaken Steenkamp for an intruder - a possibility in crime-ridden South Africa - and opened fire in a blind panic.
However, in delivering his nearly two-hour bail ruling, Nair said there were a number of "improbabilities" in Pistorius's version of events, read out to the court in an affidavit by his lawyer, Barry Roux.
"I have difficulty in appreciating why the accused would not seek to ascertain who exactly was in the toilet," Nair said. "I also have difficulty in appreciating why the deceased would not have screamed back from the toilet."
By local standards, the bail conditions are onerous but it remains to be seen if they appease opposition to the decision from groups campaigning against the violence against women that is endemic in South Africa.
"We are saddened because women are being killed in this country," said Jacqui Mofokeng, a spokeswoman for the ruling African National Congress' Women's League, whose members stood outside the court this week with banners saying "Rot in jail".
However, Nair said he was ultimately making his decision in the "interests of justice" and that the prosecution, who suffered a setback when the lead investigator withered under cross-examination by Roux, had failed to show Pistorius was either a flight risk or a threat to the public.
Roux stressed that the Olympic and Paralympic runner's global fame made it impossible for him to evade justice by skipping bail and leaving the country.
"He can never go anywhere unnoticed," Roux told the court.
Pistorius, whose lower legs were amputated in infancy forcing him to race on carbon fiber "blades", faces life in prison if convicted of premeditated murder.
Prosecutors had portrayed him as a cold-blooded killer and said they were confident that their case, which will have to rely heavily on forensics, would stand up to scrutiny at a full trial.
"We are going to make sure that we get enough evidence to get through this case during trial time," a spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority told reporters.
In court, lead prosecutor Gerrie Nel was scornful of Pistorius's inability to contain his emotions. "I shoot and I think my career is over and I cry. I come to court and I cry because I feel sorry for myself," Nel said.
In his affidavit, Pistorius said he was "deeply in love" with Steenkamp, and Roux said his client had no motive for the killing.
Pistorius contends he reached for a 9-mm pistol under his bed because he felt particularly vulnerable without his prosthetic limbs.
According to police, witnesses heard gunshots and screams from the athlete's home. The community is surrounded by 3-m- (yard-) high stone walls and topped with an electric fence.
In a magazine interview a week before her death, published on Friday, Steenkamp spoke about her three-month-old relationship with Pistorius.
"I absolutely adore Oscar. I respect and admire him so much," she told celebrity gossip magazine Heat. "I don't want anything to come in the way of his career."
Police pulled their lead detective off the case on Thursday after it was revealed he himself faces attempted murder charges for shooting at a minibus. He has been replaced by South Africa's top detective.
The arrest of Pistorius last week shocked those who had watched in awe last year as he reached the semi-final of the 400 meters race in the London Olympics.
The impact has been greatest in South Africa, where Pistorius was seen as a rare hero who commanded respect from both black and white people, transcending the racial divides that persist 19 years after the end of apartheid.

I am a online marketer, and love to show others how to brand their personal names on the search engines as well as the business names to dominate on search engines but especially google. I have had this business name and domain for about a year and decided it was time to use it. I have been a entrepreneur my entire life, owning and operating over 11 successful small businesses. I am solely focused on online marketing and the creation of Multiple streams of income, with most of my time and effort in building a very successful Beach Body Coaching Business.
Web viewers and online audience as well as eye catching logo for business cards. Best of luck and lets make this fun and exciting for all.
Thanks a lot to you all in advance!
I do like the navy blue color, or dark blues with either some grey and white, but I am open to see what you can come up with. My color scheme could change if someone designs something based on the name of the business that catches my eye. Would like to use "logo" for header on websites as well as business cards. Would also like to be able to reverse the color scheme and use for embroidery etc. for promotional items. I am not the creative person here, so I am going to leave it to the professionals. I do like blue a lot and hope to find some thing with the dark blue, grey, or white in it as I stated earlier, but can be swayed away from that.

The Lindoe Offshore Renewables Center (LORC) and Vestas have signed a contract to test the turbine maker's nacelles at a new facility in Denmark.
Vestas will be the first customer when the indoor LORC Nacelle Testing facility, located at the former shipyard in Lindo Industrial Park, is finished by next summer. According to LORC, the test center will have two different test docks, one performing mechanical lifetime tests and the other testing nacelle functionality under extreme stresses. Vestas has contracted to use the latter, the Function Tester.
At LORC, Vestas will test larger wind turbines, such as the new V164-8.0 MW unit. LORC notes the new center will have the capacity to test nacelles of up to 10 MW.
'For Vestas, LORC's testing means, in lay language, that we can test nacelles in a very realistic way without having to wait for the wind to blow,' comments Anders Vedel, chief technology officer at Vestas.
The contract between Vestas and LORC will initially run for two and a half years beginning in summer 2014.
