Jackson Browne Concert Tickets |
Jackson Browne, the sweet-sounding voice of California rock music, is a talented songwriter, guitarist, and pianist, and now he's hitting the road once again! Jackson Brown tickets are nostalgia and present all rolled into one, and the introspective nature of his message cements a firm link back to the late 1960s and early 1970s, when people actually cared about life. When you buy Jackson Browne tickets you will be ringside when "The Pretender" does his thing. Brown's album of that name, released in 1976 in the aftermath of immense personal trials, is loaded with a dark but solid acceptance of life's heartless destinies, and the pain we are left with when loved ones slip away, never to return. The Pretender forms the backbone of the Browne catalog, and concert tickets to Jackson Browne will bring that angst and deep reasoning all alive once more. When people first told me that Jackson Browne tickets were onsale, I was shocked; I'd actually resigned myself to the loss of Browne as a live performer in these jaded and superficial times, so a jackson Brown ticket will be in my hands very soon. If you want to buy tickets to Jackson Browne do it now, because there's a legion of soulful people out there who love the guy and his music. Jackson Browne tickets are what life is all about right now. |

ooooh ewwwww
If those chickens had lips I bet they'd kiss you. - December 27, 2010 at 7:19 PM

Oh no! I'm sorry but we did have a good laugh at this! Our chicken coup is resembling something similar to yours. This annoying rain! I bet those chickens are very grateful. :)

Oh my gosh what a story and you are quite the savior. Chicken before yourself, winding up in the muck. They are very lucky chickens to have you as their caretaker. Hope they reward you with plenty of eggs.

- Mark Willis said...
Hooray Ali, you deserve a medal! I bet those chickens were pretty glad to see you. It's a shame though (for us at least) that no-one was there with you to record the event photographically...

- Esther Montgomery said...
Oh but what a pretty and contented scene to close the story with.

I'm sure she appreciated it... just as you must have appreciated that shower. Very funny.
- December 28, 2010 at 6:15 AM
- Ali said...
lol the so didn't appreciate it, they did stay out of the rain for the rest of the day, but when I went out a bit later, there they were, roosted in the rain.
It doesn't matter though, in my mind I looked after them which makes me feel like a Responsible Pet Owner.
Thanks for enjoying my story :) - December 28, 2010 at 7:29 AM
- Jacqui said...
ha ha ha you are my chero(chicken hero!)
I myself have been armpit deep in sloshy chicken poo these last few days - welcome to chicken owning!! Im not sure if I could ever recover from getting that up close and personal - maybe you need to keep bees? not a lot of mess there - and you do like honey... - December 28, 2010 at 12:02 PM
- Ali said...
Lol, your chero? That's a bit fabulous Jacqui, I like it a lot. You haven't had a very good intro, have you, although perhaps chicken manure does something for the complexion that we just don't know about yet.
Bees are the most fabulous idea, I have looked into getting the stingless sort, a bee without sting is my kind of bee.
Hope you and your chickens are hale and hearty, I'm waiting to see them on your blog :) - December 28, 2010 at 12:21 PM
Edna the bantam does look slightly put out but her friends are wondering what all the fuss was about, talk about chicken brains. Well done on your chicken mission, alls well that ends well. Maybe we can find another shed??? m
- December 28, 2010 at 2:12 PM
- Ali said...
There's one at Bunnings for $179 at the moment, I thought about it, but then couldn't bring myself to spend all that money on the chickens!
- December 28, 2010 at 3:22 PM
- Hazel said...
A business opportunity? If, upon examining your complexion over the next few days, you find that it is smoother, younger looking and more radiant, perhaps you could bottle the muck and sell it. Some people will buy anything and with the right marketing campaign you may never have to work again. Want a partner? I won't be a silent one though.
- December 28, 2010 at 5:23 PM
- Ali said...
Hazel, if I find out that plunging your face into a pile of aged, wet manure has unexpected skin benefits, I am cashing in and keeping it ALL to myself.
You could always try it yourself if you'd like to give me a bit of competition? - December 28, 2010 at 7:18 PM
- Laura @ Darroch Cottage said...
ew ew ew! the things we do for our chickens! Oh how we love the wee pecky things.
The day before we were going on holiday I was worried mine might escape from their run and give the house sitters a hard time so even though I had a list as long as my arm I decided to trim/hack a tree in their run so that they couldn't fly off it and escape. I ended up with chook poop in my eye but still I carried on - it was poo in every sense of the word. BUt my wee lambs were worth it :) - December 29, 2010 at 6:39 AM
- Eliza @ Appalachian Feet said...
That was hilarious (and pretty touching). I think you've more than proven your blog deserves the title "Mud Pie" now. I'm almost glad we have regular droughts as I contemplate the purchase of my own chickens...

Oh thanks Eliza, I'll go and take a look :).
Oh Laura, if I had to choose manure, I'm so glad I got horse and cow in the face. Chicken poo does not do it for me! - December 30, 2010 at 6:00 PM

Amid the extravaganza that is Google I/O, the folks from Mountain View quietly pushed out an update to one of their applications that finally catches up with the times. Google Play Books has never quite matched iBooks or Amazon's Kindle, but the latest update to their iOS app finally adds support for PDF files and ePUB books bought from other sources.

Apple's handling of location data has made its way back into headlines recently due to a tool written by security researcher Hubert Seiwert. Seiwert presented the iSniff GPS tool, which makes it easy to capture potentially sensitive iPhone user data, last July at the Blackhat USA security conference and posted the source code to Github a month later. While the tool isn't particularly new, it has been the recipient of some media attention after being covered earlier this month by SC Magazine. While the disclosure of the sensitive information by iPhones was previously known, iSniff makes the information more easily accessible and is worth a closer look to determine if users need to worry.
Legendary game designer Jordan Mechner went back to his roots in 2012 with a reimagined Karateka, a brand new game based on his original 1984 Apple II hit (it would eventually make its way to just about every other common home computer platform of the day). Now the original has returned in all its eight-bit glory.
During the 2013 Oslo Freedom Forum, an annual conference focused on human rights, a new piece of spyware was discovered on an attendee's Mac. The spyware, which was discovered by security researcher Jacob Appelbaum, is currently being analyzed by F-Secure to fully understand what it does.
Some parts have been posted online that purport to belong to the iPhone 5S, or whatever Apple calls their next generation phone. While the iPhone 5 might continue the tradition of keeping the previous year's form factor, that doesn't mean the internals can't change. If these parts are genuine, they show updates to the vibrator assembly, earpiece and speaker brackets, and more. Here's the image from BGR:
John P. of GeekBeat.tv, Christina Warren of Mashable, and Kevin Michaluk of CrackBerry join Rene live from BlackBerry Live in Orlando to talk BBM for iOS, the new Google Hangouts, Google Maps for iPad, and a look ahead to WWDC 2013.
Apple has released a statement concerning their recent 50 billion app downloads, and in it, they completely bury the lede. From Apple PR
50 billion unique downloads excluding re-downloads and updates.
The form-fit ShellCase is impact resistant for complete protection of your iPhone 5 and quickly slides in and out of the holster for instant phone access. The holster is lined with a soft fabric for a scratch free device and the 180 degree swiveling belt blip doubles as an adjustable clip stand, perfect for displaying or media viewing.

iPhone owners who need a little extra battery power to see them through have been turning to Mophie for many years now. The current lineup for the iPhone 5 includes the Juice Pack Helium and the Juice Pack Air, and now they're back with this, the Juice Pack Plus.

Comment posted Question: How can we license fracking when we have permanent drought? by Robert Wakeham.
Ken, although I'm no great fan of PFI I can't imagine many projects quite as disastrously managed as a very large hospital that suffers from a 'fail dangerous' power supply where the emergency generators have repeatedly failed to kick in when needed – ever since the hospital first opened.
Robert Wakeham also commented
- It'll be very interesting to see how the marine turbine array in the sound of Islay interacts with shipping, and also the larger marine life from seals to basking sharks etc.
- If someone could invent a way of ensuring that ruminants got a regular glug of red wine the value added for a barbecue product could be a winner.
- '…Free-Thinkers and Open-Minded folk….evidently spurious…' Your arguments seem frequently to be the reverse of open minded, W.S.
- That explains why I've never heard a cow fart, but I can assure you that it's the reverse with goats – at least, if they're feeding on typical mediterranean scrub. And there are plenty of goats in the world.
- To cut to the nitty gritty, if we were to take the subject of atmospheric damage really seriously, should we be debating how to stop cows farting?

I wonder if there's scope for WCM to extend any bus routes that could be deemed to 'connect' to the ferry terminal – the current (traditional) Campbeltown bus terminal seems to be conveniently located for the buses but less so for many of the passengers, let alone anyone using the new Ardrossan / Arran ferry link.. - Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
Surely party politics are national politics, dealing with national issues, and as such can often get in the way of resolving the local authority issues that councillors are elected to deal with. - Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll

Without a deal, the measures known as the "fiscal cliff" will take effect in January.
Bernanke also said Congress must raise the federal debt limit to prevent the government from defaulting on Treasurys debt. Failure to do so would impose heavy costs on the economy, he said. Bernanke said Congress also needs to reduce the federal debt over the long run to ensure economic growth and stability.
Uncertainty about all these issues is likely holding back spending and investment and troubling investors, the Fed chairman said in a speech to the Economic Club of New York.
Resolving the fiscal crisis would prevent a sudden and severe shock to the economy, help drive down unemployment and strengthen growth, he said.
"A stronger economy will, in turn, reduce the deficit and contribute to achieving long-term fiscal sustainability," Bernanke told the group.
Bernanke also said the severity of the Great Recession may have reduced the economy's potential growth rate. He didn't say by how much or how long slower-than-normal growth might persist.
Over the long run, the U.S. economy has grown an average of about 2.5 percent each year. Economists predict growth in the July-September quarter will be revised up to an annual rate of around 3 percent, higher than the government's initial 2 percent growth estimate. But they think the economy is slowing to an annual growth rate below 2 percent in the October-December quarter.
Annual growth below 2 percent is too slow to make a significant dent in unemployment.
Bernanke said several factors have weighed on growth: Long-term unemployment has reduced many workers' skills and led some who have lost jobs to stop looking for one.
Companies have spent less on machinery, computers and other goods, reducing their production capacity. Stricter lending rules and uncertainty about the economy may have discouraged would-be entrepreneurs from starting more companies, the Fed chairman said.
Even assuming that the economy's potential growth has declined, Bernanke said that unemployment, now at 7.9 percent, remains abnormally high.
Bernanke suggested, though, that the drags on economic growth should fade as the economy heals.
It's unclear what, if anything, the Fed could do to cushion the economic impact of the fiscal cliff beyond the bond purchases it's already making to try to lower long-term borrowing rates and stimulate spending.
The minutes of the Fed's last policy meeting suggest that it will likely unveil a bond buying program in December to try to drive down long-term rates. The new purchases would replace a bond-buying program that expires at year's end.
But the minutes also noted that "several' Fed policymakers questioned whether additional bond buying would be needed and that "a couple" worried that keeping rates too low for too long could drive up inflation.
A new bond buying program would come on top of a program the Fed launched in September to buy $40 billion a month in mortgage bonds to try to reduce long-term interest rates and make home buying more affordable. That program represented the Fed's third round of major bond purchases to expand its holdings.
Fed officials also announced at the September meeting that they planned to keep the Fed's benchmark short-term interest rate near zero through mid-2015. This rate for overnight loans has been at a record low since December 2008.

To Juice or Not to Juice?
A Juice Cleanse is your ticket to health! Or is it?
Over the last couple of years juicing has become very popular. Everywhere you look someone is talking about the life-changing effects of juicing. Recently, I even received a two day juice cleanse deal from Living Social! I won't name names but the company offering the deal advertises "lose 12 pounds in 2 days!" Now, come on. Does anyone still believe that? While juicing has many benefits, it is not a cure-all as many people seem to believe. So, assuming you are not looking to lose weight so much as feeling more energetic and clear-minded, would a juice cleanse be beneficial for you? Maybe. Maybe not!
Ayurveda's Take On Juicing
Ayurveda is clear on one thing: nothing is all good or all bad for anybody all of the time. And so it is with juicing. Juices by their very nature are cold, light and dry (no fat). Depending on whether you have more air (vata), fire (pitta), or earth (kapha) in you, those qualities may or may not agree with you.
In terms of energetic effects, juicing is:
- Lightening
- Cooling
- Clearing
- Energizing (at least initially)
But are those the qualities you are in need of? If you are feeling congested, mucous-y, foggy and uninspired, then most likely yes. But if you are like me and need more grounding, warming, nourishing foods to feel good, proceed with caution. Done for too long, juicing can easily be depleting because of the absence of protein and fats in juices.
In my late twenties I experimented with juicing. I started to feel SO energized, SO light and SO clear that I only needed 5 hours of sleep and didn't know how to occupy all my waking hours! I also lost a lot of weight (which I didn't need to lose) and I still remember vividly this feeling in my body that I could almost levitate, so light and buoyant I felt! I also started to feel spacey, chilly and unable to concentrate for long. Those attempts at juicing were inevitably followed by me binging on all the dense, starchy, fatty foods I could get my hands on, to compensate for the depletion that had occurred. These days I know better. I won't have a juice (I don't even feel like it) unless it's 85 F or above. And if it's humid all the better. The heat and moisture in the atmosphere is what my (mostly vata) constitution needs in order to benefit from the lightening and clearing qualities of juices.
Juicing and YOU
If you don't already know your mind/body type, take this quiz to find out. If your constitution is Vata or you are experiencing several of the following symptoms: restlessness, fatigue, anxiety, dry skin/nails/hair, constipation, difficulty falling asleep at night…. Then juicing is not for you right now. Wait until the weather really warms up. And even then, I suggest no more than one juice a day with two solid food meals.
If your constitution is Pitta or you are experiencing several of the following symptoms: heartburn, any type of inflammatory condition (skin, gut, eyes, joints), anger, profuse sweating, bad breath, loose stool…You'll benefit from juicing in moderation. Your constitution will likely welcome the cooling effect of juices but you still have to be moderate. Pitta types tend to have excellent digestion and a fast metabolism. Going on a "liquids only" diet can leave this type feeling ravenous and extremely irritable! Two juices a day with one large solid food meal should keep you satiated and pleasant to be around!
If your constitution is Kapha or you are experiencing several of the following symptoms: recurring colds and sinus congestion, fluid retention, feeling foggy and uninspired, excessively oily hair and skin, difficulty waking up in the morning even after a full night sleep… Bingo! You are the best candidate for a juice cleanse. A 2 to 5 day juice-only diet should perk you up nicely.
Those are general guidelines. Try juicing if you are so inclined and pay close attention to how your body and mind respond. Trust what you feel and become the expert of yourself. Don't just follow the trend! Only by investigating honestly with an open mind can you figure out how much juice (if any) you can enjoy without upsetting your internal balance.

Five Ways to Improve Your Sleep with Chinese Medicine
Ask someone from a western culture to show you the location of their mind and the finger goes right to the head. Ask someone from China or Tibet and the hand goes to the center of the chest: the heart.
From the western medical perspective, we are all familiar with the circulatory functions of the heart. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the organs and the tissues of the body.
You may have heard your acupuncturist talking about "heat in the Heart" or "Heart Blood deficiency," two common Chinese diagnoses that can cause insomnia as well as anxiety. These imbalances can be corrected using Chinese medicine, but what do they mean and how do they manifest?
Suffering from insomnia or anxiety can mean different things. Some people have trouble falling asleep, but once they do, they sleep the rest of the night. Others may fall asleep right away, but wake up multiple times throughout the night. In worst cases, they can't fall asleep or stay asleep. What causes this?
From the Chinese medical perspective, the Heart is the residence of the mind or the shen. In Chinese, the word shen can be translated as mind, spirit, soul, etc.
Here is a metaphor to help explain this concept of the Heart's shen and how it affects our sleep. Imagine that our shen, or spirit, needs a place to reside at night just as our bodies need a bed in a quiet dark room. The Heart is that bed in a quiet dark room for the shen to sleep in. But our Heart needs to be in balance before it can be a place of refuge for our spirit.
Imagine the Heart as a warm moist box with a lid on it. During the day, the lid is open and our spirit is out of that box expending energy and interacting with the outside world. But come nighttime, the spirit needs to rest just as our bodies do. Our body goes to bed in a quiet dark room and our shen goes to the warm moist box of the Heart and the lid closes. In the morning when it is time to interact with the world again, the lid opens and the shen emerges.
If you can't fall asleep and your mind is racing, it is likely that your shen is not coming back to reside in the Heart, but is staying on the exterior surface of the body as it does during the day thereby allowing the mind to race. If there is heat in the Heart, that agitates the shen, just as our emotions get agitated on those hot sweaty days of a summer heat wave. The heart's function of housing the mind depends on enough nourishment from the blood. If the Heart is blood deficient, it can't keep that box moist enough for the shen to want to stay, resulting in dream-disturbed sleep. It's like trying to fall asleep with bright lights on, no covers, and your front door wide open.
Regardless of your imbalance, here are five ways to improve your sleep:
1. Engage in anxiety and stress-relief activities. Try meditation, deep breathing, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, restorative yoga, talk therapy or anything else that relieves your anxiety.
2. Eat blood nourishing foods: small frequent portions of red meat (the size of a deck of cards two to three times a week), bone marrow broths, black beans, red grapes, leafy greens,
3. Avoid bright lights and technology for an hour before bed. This includes computer, radio, television, music (unless it is relaxing) and telephone. Do not use these technologies in bed.
4. Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 4 to 6 hours before bed. Exercise daily in the morning or mid-day.
5. Get regular acupuncture treatments & Chinese herbal therapy from a qualified practitioner.
The Heart is not the only organ that affects sleep or anxiety, according to Chinese Medicine. Sleep patterns can also be affected by imbalances in the Spleen, Liver, and Kidneys.

Ready for Baby? Fertility Advice for Every Woman
The First Three Steps of a Good Pre-Conception Program
Once deciding to start a family, many women believe that once they stop using the birth control pill that they will fall pregnant. However, with infertility rates increasing and couples starting a family later in life, it is crucial that women follow these three steps when embarking on the fertility path. Don't make the mistake of just "trying" for a year and then decide to see assistance. Finding out if there is a functional problem with either the male or female reproductive system is a prudent first step.
The Three Crucial Functional Tests
Testing the function of the reproductive system just makes sense. If you haven't driven a car for 20 to 30 years, you want to make sure that all of the parts are working. Also, when women put off starting a family until their 30′s and 40′s and they have been on hormone altering medications for a long period of time, the body's hormones can take a while to balance out again. I recommend that men get a semen analysis from the get go. It's a non-invasive test and it's smart to know in advance that the sperm count is sufficient and the swimmers are strong.
For women, I recommend getting an HSG (hysto-salpingogram) to make sure that your fallopian tubes are free from obstruction. This is a critical first test to get, because if there is something blocking the tubes, the sperm and egg can not meet. Secondly, I recommend a sono-hystogram, which is a saline vaginal ultrasound. This checks the uterus for abnormal structures, fibroids or polyps. Any of these issues can prevent a successful implantation and may even cause a miscarriage, so it's prudent to make sure the uterus is in good shape to support a pregnancy.
A Smart Fertility Diet
A smart fertility diet doesn't need to be complicated or difficult. You basically want to be smart in your food and drink choices. Avoiding toxins and consuming only nourishing foods is the most expedient path to preparing your body for pregnancy. Be smart! Don't drink coffee, alcohol or sugar laden drinks. All that you really need is water. Really!
Smart women realize that preparing their bodies with a nourishing diet before conceiving gives both them and their babies a strong start. Women who eat well for a year before conceiving have better pregnancies with less complications. Also, we see less gestational diabetes, better birth weights and healthier babies overall.
Eat real foods that nourish your tissues and your hard working endocrine glands. Real Foods consist of organic, pasture raised animal protein, plenty of organic vegetables, full fat, organic dairy and healthy fats. Minimizing or eliminating grains and being mindful of stable blood sugar will reduce inflammation, keep moods stable and reduce cravings for sweets and junk food.
If you can imagine harvesting, slaughtering or catching your food in the wild, it's Real. If your food comes in any sort of packaging with a long ingredient list, it's not Real. Eating smart fertility diet isn't difficult. Just trust your instincts.
Take Advantage of the Benefits of Acupuncture
Getting regular acupuncture is one of the most effective ways of preparing your body for pregnancy. Acupuncture has been found to help with fertility issues because it calms the mind, increases blood circulation to the reproductive organs and helps improve the function of the endocrine system.
Acupuncturists today enjoy a plethora of conferences, seminars and high level research focusing on fertility acupuncture. This makes choosing a fertility acupuncturist a wise decision when preparing your body for pregnancy. Finding an acupuncturist that specializes in fertility issues is easier now, than it was 10 years ago.
If you live in a metropolitan city, you will probably have the leisure of choosing between a number of well qualified acupuncturists. Ideally, you'll find someone that is not only knowledgeable, but has a warm and supportive bedside manner. Finding an acupuncturist that you trust and are comfortable with will remove a lot of stress from the process and that can only be beneficial in helping you get pregnant.
Be Smart from the Start
Many of the women that I see in the clinic have been trying to conceive for over three years. Many of them have already done multiple rounds of Clomid, injectable drugs and IVF cycles. Unfortunately, very few of them have a diagnosis or a reason given for their infertility. If I could turn back the clock, I would encourage each of these women to be smart from the start and follow these three steps when first trying to conceive. Just moving forward without knowledge or information is a very disempowering pathway that often leads to more stress, confusion and frustration.
I don't want to meet you after three years of trying in this fashion. Take my advice and seek your answers early and start preparing your body from the get go. Your baby will thank you someday for your wisdom in preparing your body for conception.

The Heart of the Matter – How our Hearts Hold the Key to Health
Modern science is coming to the same conclusion as our wise ancestors: our hearts hold the key to our happiness, health and harmonious relationships.
Bodies under Stress:
A definition of stress could be "emotional unease." It is not a particular event which causes stress, it is our reactions to or feelings about the event. In a stress response, we have over 1,400 biochemical reactions in the body. Cortisol levels (stress hormones) increase and DHEA levels (vitality, anti-aging hormone) decrease. High cortisol levels increase our blood pressure and sugar levels, they age us, diminish our memories and accumulate fat around our midsections and thighs. Think of the times during that day that your buttons get pushed! This is the stress response (survival physiology), which drains our energy! What if you could transform this stress response in the moment? You would think better, feel better and perform optimally.
Heart-Brain Relationship:
We are taught the brain is our power center, and in many ways it is. Research at the Institute of HeartMath has proven that there are more neural pathways from the heart up to the brain than from the brain to the heart. The heart can perceive things (intuition) before the head can think them. Ever walk into a room and feel a vibe of tension? That perception is from your heart! When your heart is in a smooth rhythm pattern, the higher centers of the brain function optimally, coming out of our survival brains and creating new neural pathways!
Heart Rate Variability:
Heart rate variability is the beat-to-beat change in our hearts. Doctors look at this to see the health of our nervous system and the heart-brain interaction. Emotions influence this pattern! When we feel anger, worry, frustration, anxiety, disappointment, etc, a pattern is sent to the brain to minimize our higher brain centers (creativity, planning, impulse control). However, when we feel love, care, compassion and gratitude the heart sends a different pattern, and these centers function well. Have you ever been angry and said something you wished you had not? Yes, anger makes us stupid!
Heart Power
The heart has the ability to train our brain, respiration, digestion, immune, hormone and most other systems to work harmoniously. The heart is 5,000 times more powerful than the brain magnetically.This magnetic field around the heart radiates out 5 feet, and influences others. We can influence the energy around us and inside of us by feeling "heart" emotions. Feeling these emotions stops the stress response and the damage it inflicts!
Making the Shift:
Next time you feel stressed try this: focus on the area around your heart, breathe deeply into your heart and shift to feelings of love and appreciation. Doing this consistently in life changes your health, performance and relationships! Every time we do this we are influencing the energy within and around us! We co-create with spirit from the authentic self….our Hearts.

Pilates Packs a Big Punch for New Mothers
The postpartum period is an emotional time in a woman's life. Between the joy of a new baby and the personal physical and hormonal changes, it can be challenging for mothers to have enough time in the day to take care of themselves while caring for their little one. However, it is vital for new moms to devote some precious moments to their health and well-being and reconnect with their own mind and body. Postnatal pilates offers a safe, effective and progressive means of reforming the body in just a matter of minutes.
The Pilates Method is a popular way to gain stability and flexibility. Core stabilization
involves training the deepest muscles of the abdomen, spine and pelvis to support the
trunk during movement and make the body more resilient to injury. Pregnancy and
delivery weakens each of these muscles and makes mothers especially vulnerable to
low back and pelvic pain and pathology. Thus, reactivating these muscles and
reconnecting the abdominal walls with the pelvic floor should be a priority in the early
stages of motherhood. Pilates promotes flexibility by encouraging the spine to move in
all planes of motion and the all muscles to lengthen and stretch with proper biomechanics within safe and appropriate range of motion. Over the course of a forty week gestation, a healthy weight gain can create postural misalignment that impacts flexibility and mobility. Muscle groups that often benefit from stretching due to childbearing include the iliopsoas, paraspinals, piriformis, gastrocsoleus complex, pectorals, and upper trapezius.
Despite its popularity for stretching and stabilization, Pilates follows several principles
that are often overlooked and offer significant benefits for postpartum women:
• Alignment: postural deviations occur in the upper and lower body as a result of the natural changes in the body during pregnancy and positions related to childcare. While expecting, elevated relaxin hormone levels increase laxity in the musculoskeletal system and causes changes such as increased lumbar lordosis and sacroiliac joint hypermobility. While caring for baby, mothers often tend to round their shoulders and place the head and neck in compromising positions while nursing, picking up the baby and pushing strollers. The forward posture becomes such a comfortable and routine position that moms don't realize they have developed an abnormal change in musculoskeletal alignment! Pilates is a wonderful place to start addressing improper movement patterns and improving posture.
• Breath: Breathing promotes relaxation, reduction of muscle tension, and proper neuromuscular activation of the deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Most importantly, it is amazingly easy to add into one's daily routine because it should be employed with all movement!
• Whole Body Conditioning: With proper instruction, each Pilates exercise should require full attention from the brain and control of all body parts, while each session should train the mind, body and spirit as an integrated whole in order to be evenly conditioned. Postnatal Pilates workouts will train the upper and lower body to coordinate with the trunk in a functional manner to enable moms to love, nurture and play with their growing baby without muscle strain and joint pain.
Overall, Pilates is an incredible practice for the postnatal population by providing cleansing breath, promoting circulation, stimulating the neuromuscular system and rejuvenating the body with endorphins. Postnatal women will gain confidence, energy and stamina that they need to embrace modern day motherhood. Mothers typically return to exercise after a six week postnatal checkup, or later if baby was delivered via Cesarean. It is recommended that women receive a doctor's prescription and work with a physical therapist specializing in Pilates. Specialized therapists are highly skilled in observing movement, offering tactile feedback, teaching modifications and progressing programs for safety and effectiveness.

Three Myths About Massage Therapy
Let me begin by saying that it's reason enough to get a massage simply because it feels good. Extensive scientific research has proven that massage does perform a number of wonderful, therapeutic services for your body including:
• alleviates muscle spasm and soreness
• diminishes chronic pain
• increases flexibility and range of motion
• calms the nervous system
• lowers blood pressure and heart rate
• increases immune system activity
• reduces tension headaches
• improves concentration
• promotes restorative sleep and mental relaxation.
The therapeutic benefits of massage are many and certainly worth knowing. It is equally as important to know and understand the limitations of massage therapy before signing up for a session. Informed choice is always best. That being said, there are some serious myth-conceptions out there regarding the benefits of massage. I believe a brief debunking is in order.
MYTH #1: Massage releases and helps eliminate toxins from the body.
I have never encountered even one massage therapist who could give me the name of any specific toxin that massage helps eliminate from the body. It is a fact that the human body does store POPs (persistent organic pollutants) in fatty tissues and heavy metals in our bones, but there is no conclusive proof or research figures to support the idea that the mechanical pressure of even a deep tissue massage can release these toxins for elimination. I would however, suggest cutting down on the lead paint chips — and those preservative-filled snack cakes.
MYTH #2: It is important to drink water immediately following a massage.
My fellow massage therapists may not want you to know this, but as long as you are not suffering from respiratory failure, liver, or kidney disease, your body removes the wastes from normal everyday cellular metabolism just fine. Every minute your heart beats, your blood volume circulates through the lungs, liver, and kidneys. These organs, located deep enough in the body to be isolated from the mechanical pressure of massage, were marvelously designed to eliminate the by-products of metabolism — carbon dioxide, urea, and mineral salts. There is no immediate need to drink water after a massage in order to dilute these compounds. If you truly have an accumulation of these compounds in your body, you have bigger problems than a tall glass of water and a day at the spa will fix.
MYTH #3: Massage flushes out lactic acid and therefore alleviates post exercise muscle soreness.
I feel so sorry for this much-maligned wonder of biochemistry. Lactic acid is a key player in glucose metabolism. The body uses the energy from the breakdown of glucose to form ATP, which is the spark that sets off muscle contraction. It is actually the hydrogen ion (cleaved from adenosine triphosphate during extreme physical exertion) that is responsible for the burning sensation in the muscles. The production of hydrogen ions at such a high rate dissipates immediately after the exertion. Hydrogen ions do not build up and then hang around for days waiting for the massage therapists to wring them out of your body. The soreness you feel 24 to 48 hours after a workout is due to micro-trauma to the muscle fibers and the resultant inflammation. Important to note: Massage has been shown to help reduce inflammation response and promote the feeling of recovery from a hard workout.
There are many reasons to have a massage (list above). Who benefits from massage therapy? Anyone who routinely and/or strenuously stretches their physical limits through movement — running, cycling, swimming, hiking, dancing, tennis, strength training. Anyone with sore, strained or muscles that spasm. Anyone who is under stress. Anyone who suffers from tension headaches or high blood pressure or chronic pain. Anyone. Everyone. The absolute best reason to get a massage? Because it feels good.

Prevent Pain with Body Awareness
Posture, alignment and corrective exercise are hot topics in the health and wellness field. It is important to understand what it means when we tell someone that their posture needs some work, their body is out of alignment or they need special exercises to correct the problem areas. Most people understand that if they sit slumped in their chair for 8 to 10 hours a day, rarely take a break, and don't do enough general exercise, they will sooner or later have pain. It is more difficult when someone who is fit, active and exhibits generally good posture begins to feel tightness or pain. What do we blame it on?
Good, natural alignment of the body is relative. Perfect posture does not exist. Health professionals are taught that when a person is standing, if their ear sits over their shoulder, shoulder over the hip, hip over the knee and knee over the ankle, that that is perfect alignment. But for who? Only for the person standing perfectly still. Bodies, even those that are standing and sitting for periods of time are generally in some kind of movement. If a person sits in perfect posture at their desk, with their feet on the floor, hips slightly higher than the knees, low back supported by a perfectly sized lumbar roll, chin tucked, shoulders relaxed, wrists, forearms, and elbows in neutral positions, they are usually also typing, reading, mousing, talking on the phone, and don't forget breathing. These perfectly positioned people can still have pain. There are many other factors involved, like whether or not the person takes proper breaks, exercises on a regular basis, what their stress levels are and how they cope with life in general. There can also be underlying asymmetries in the body due to past injuries, surgeries or trauma that can create tightness or tension, even when someone is in good postural alignment. Let's explore this last idea.
Poor posture is only one cause of imbalance in the body. If you slouched your way through high school and college and then on into your first desk job, you may be one of these people. The front of you is tight and the back of you is stretched out. Muscles that remain in shortened, tight positions over time, yep just like mom said, they stick that way and get weak. The stress on the body, including joints and even organs, increases, and pain or injury may develop as a result. A person can be taught exercises to correct the short, tight muscles in the front, and the stretched out weaker ones in the back as well as how to sit properly to decrease postural strain.
Asymmetries and alignment issues can also be caused by things like injuries, surgeries, illnesses and stress. The body, in its attempt to heal itself, will tighten and immobilize an area of injury, causing the connective tissue to adhere, shorten and dehydrate. The body can be left with areas that stop being able to contribute to normal movement causing other areas to compensate, leading to abnormal strain on muscles, joints and organs. You can sit up as straight as you want for the rest of your life but you will not fix this kind of alignment issue with perfect posture.
When the connective tissue (fascia) tightens, adheres and dehydrates in response to an injury, surgery or other trauma, the problem can be more significant than a cause that is simply postural. In this instance, corrective exercises are prescribed for part of the body that, compared to the other side, is restricted, tight, or painful, causing asymmetries, imbalance and poor alignment. The body is evaluated by a personal trainer, physical therapist or other trained professional and then the client is taught how to test themselves for asymmetries and use specific corrective exercises to balance them out. These exercises are done on one side of the body only, to help correct or balance the system.
How do I know I need this kind of specific corrective exercise? Most of us know when we have pain or dysfunction, but have trouble noticing before that. Most people live in this fashion, meaning that we only know we need help after something starts to hurt (the red flag). Which brings me to one of the most important pieces of health, wellness and healing; awareness. Practicing body awareness will help you to pay attention at the yellow flag stage. If you can catch a problem earlier, when it is just a slight tightness, strain or pull, you will be able to regain balance, symmetry and alignment with a few simple exercises. By using your awareness, checking in with your body and the way it feels as you move, breathe and exercise, you will find the flags before they are red, and go a long way toward preventing injury.
So yes, listen to mom and sit up straight, exercise more and manage your stress, but even more importantly, practice body awareness by paying attention to the body's signals when they are mild. Ask your health and wellness professional to help you find and treat asymmetries with a few corrective exercises before you have pain and you will have the preventive tools for a lifetime.

After toying around with the Argus Bean for a while, I had the perfect opportunity to have it tested to it's best ability. A two year old.
Subject (in the best sense of the word): Carter
He is always around cameras and will pretty much only come near me when I let him play with one of my cameras (which is more than his mom lets him do!) I didn't see any reason to not let him try it out, seeing as though it seems like that's the target audience for this type of camera. They are slightly rubberized around the outside, built to take a beating from a child and the button is large enough for someone with small fingers to find no matter what. There is a carabiner clip built into the camera design. Which makes it perfect for clipping on to your belt, or a stroller when a child isn't using it at that exact moment.
This particular version of the Argus Bean that I was given was 3 megapixels. Which means it's doesn't get the best size photos to print and I would never use this as my MAIN camera, but for Carter, or any child, this is defiantly a way to figure out what they find is "important" and to get a view of what they see. And what better place to give them that freedom than at a theme park!
There is 16 megabytes of built in memory and also a SD card slot. So, I put a 4 gigabyte SD card in the camera and gave him full reign of the Bean. Between three adults and Carter's 13 year old sister, we tried to help him out and show him how to use the camera. Telling a 2 year old to "Look at the screen" (which is a 1.5 inch LCD screen) when he's taking pictures seemed like it would be a waste of time, but as we were watching him take the pictures, he seemed to understand that he could actually see what he was taking when he looked at it.
Throughout the 6 hour day at Animal Kingdom, he took over 150 pictures, given most of them were other people's feet or his stroller, or my personal favorites: pictures of him because he had the camera turned the wrong way. (See example below.)
There was a point where we were in a petting zoo area. Let's just say, Carter was following a goat, got sidetracked and took a spill. He and the camera went sliding. Carter had some scrapes and so did the Bean. After making sure Carter was alright, I went to clean off the camera and make sure that it would survive as well. I cleaned it off with a wipey thingy that parents use on kids to clean them. That was about half way through the day and we have pictures from the rest of the day, so the Bean survived!
I took pictures, of him taking pictures.
Here are some of the pictures from our day at Animal Kingdom, through the eyes of my favorite 2 year old photographer, Carter.
As you can see, having the white balance on "auto" didn't help out much. A lot of the pictures are blown out. He didn't need the flash since we were out in the sun for the most part. However, when we were in some of the queues, I would turn on the flash and like any camera, getting too close to something, does NOT help out. At all. The flash is very over powering and has quite a bit of a delay.
The battery is rechargeable through the USB port on the computer. The battery lasted all day long, even though it was left on and clipped onto the stroller for 30 minutes or so.
Overall I would take this camera with me to places where I didn't feel it was "safe" to carry my big cameras, ie. water parks, near water, rainy days. So, water. I haven't tried the camera out in any water yet, but I believe it would survive more than my Canons would. Plus, this would be a great gift for any child, which is why our 5 year old received one as a birthday gift in July! Haven't heard if he uses it a lot, but I'm sure he's loving it!
Picture of and specs from the camera that I was given:
A huge thanks to Argus Bean (@ArgusBean) for giving me this camera to review. You've made one child's mother very happy seeing as though she can treasure these pictures forever and not have to worry about HER camera being broke. As for me, I had a great time watching my friend's child playing with this camera and enjoy taking LOTS of pictures. Looks like he needs a Bean Sprout for himself now!
You can find Bean and Bean Sprouts at all different types of retail stores.

The Collection DepartmentThe Collection Department supervises objects in the museum´s collection. It receives items, catalogues them and places them in the appropriate storage.Many people donate objects to the museum on their own initiative every year, and the museum organises collection drives when its resources allow.In recent years, increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining objects relating to work and industry. The department´s purpose is to preserve tangible evidence of the city´s history. Objects are used for various kinds of research, exhibited and utilised in educational work.
Department of Public programmesDepartment of Public programmes supervises educational programmes for schoolchildren, the training of guides and general instruction.This includes the teaching conducted at the museum year-round as well as the organisation of summer instruction at Arbaer Museum.Efforts are made to provide projects for pupils of all ages during exhibitions at the museum.The Department sets up exhibits of selected aspects of Reykjavik´s history, using the museum´s collection. It also organises events and workshops, and as Arbaer is an open-air museum there are many opportunities for instruction in the customs and work methods of previous generations.The exhibitions undertaken by the Reykjavik City museum are not limited to the museum buildings and grounds.It has taken part in various exhibitions held elsewhere, both inside the city limits and outside, in collaboration with various parties.
The architecture department of the Reykjavik City MuseumThe architecture department of the Reykjavik City Museum conducts research on the architectural history of Reykjavik and makes studies of individual houses and parts of the city for the City Planning Office and other municipal committees and for private individuals as well. One project has been the compiling of a comprehensive building register for the museum´s database, which includes details relating to the architectural history of all the buildings in Reykjavik.This register is the basis for preserving the city´s architectural heritage and information is available to those requesting it. Service to institutions and individuals has been greatly increased in recent years. This applies both to the renovation of individual buildings and studies of buildings in whole areas of the city.
The Archaeological Research DepartmentThere are over one hundred sites within the city limits where archaeological finds have been registered with the department.Its task is to see that these sites are not disturbed during construction and to provide advice on design. The department supervises construction on historical sites in the city, including Kjalarnes. Extensive archaeological research has been undertaken at several locations in Reykjavik, on Videy island, Arnarholl and Adalstraeti 12 where the Settlement Exhibition Reykjavik 871 is now open.

Extensions of My Living Room
Do you have a lot of play dates at your house? I had one at my apartment this week, and I was so stressed about getting it clean. I love meet-ups so much more. Luckily the city gives options that feel like extensions of my living room. I've recently had a play date at the children's floor at the Hudson Park Library and another one upstairs at Whole Foods. These places are usually empty, have a few toys for the kids, contained, and always free!
Yesterday I took the kids to MoMA. Friday nights are free (4-8pm!), so I was shocked to see the children's wing so empty. We stayed in this room for over three hours! I chatted briefly with a new mom and my kids made a new friend. The books were good, all the toys were organized neatly in bins, and there were enough computers (4!) for all my kids to use. I would love to make this a Friday night tradition, but I know I probably won't.
Weigh in: Play dates at the house vs. play dates at public places vs. no play dates at all. I didn't have twins for nothing! The least they could do would be PLAY together. ha

Omg I had no idea that Moma had a children's wing!!! Let's go one Friday soon!!!

We love having playdates at home. Its ok if your house does not look like Ikea magazine ;)
ReplyDelete Play dates in my house sometimes stress me out b/c, well, my 4yo doesn't like to share his toys. Probably b/c I'm such a bad mom and host so few play dates. I like play dates in my back yard, play dates at other people's houses (although, you know, that may require reciprocation), and park play dates. Love those fridge photos, btw.
ReplyDelete- JeannineMarch 30, 2012 at 6:38 PM
I'd have to have friends with young kids to have play dates. ha! Seriously though, for some reason I just mesh well with women who have older kids or whose kids are grown up. Besides you and Christine, I get nervous around woman my age for some reason. Strange, huh??

looks good. I've always liked the thermaltake xaser dcases too, just a shame about their prices
I got me a Thermaltake Xaser case :D They rock ^_^
I agree to all auction Guidlines. Still.
apple computer g5 cases have multi puposes. We couldnt find kritens cheese grater and well... ill let you draw the conclusion :P it worked well for a little but the holes were too blunt :P
Get either tha Lian Li PC case that looks like a G5 but better OR my personal favorite:
if someone offer PC case similar to those Apple Cube design I will be the first in line... and matching ice keyboard and mice... :p
Are you talking about mine?? If you're not, by the looks of his picture, it takes 2 front 80mm fans, two of the same in the back and one on the side.Originally Posted by Metal_4evr
As for mine, only two 120mm fans connected to a 2channel 5 speed fan controller :). My PC is quieter than my old one which had 5 80mm fans. Except this one moves just as much air but with only 2 fans. I call mine the silent monster or "monolith" from the Space Odyssey 2001.
Actually its got suport for 1 in front, 1 at the back and get this.. 3 on the side ( see pic of side panel)
So you're going to have 4 intakes and 2 out takes? You're going to have to mod the case and either add a fan on top of the case to suck out any excess warm air that is lingering or just put a vent there to let the warm air linger out.
dont like it... prefer shuttle cases....

bah, shuttle suck coz they dont have enuff space for hd and crap blah
Never seen a case with 3 side panel fan locations... I would just use one of them depending on the layout of the MOBO. Are front and rearOriginally Posted by Dbeau
locations 120mm or just 80mm?
Get this case instead!!
