Here's an excerpt of the second story in our series "For the Love of Tattooing, the Transformative Tattoo", that we are presenting with our good friends over at openoureyes.org. To learn more about this series, check out our introduction blog here. To read this full story, click here. We hope you enjoy!
-Sean Herman
Anyone who has suffered with bouts of anxiety, panic attacks, or depression can tell you that it can be physically crippling. Imagine being in a situation, one that you should be familiar with, but nothing about it feels familiar. Something you have done everyday now becomes foreign and unreal. Your brain begins racing, spinning, your pulse quickens, your breathing is labored, and the obsessive thoughts begin. "Did I lock the door, did I turn off the oven, did I offend someone and say something wrong" and now the world is slowly crumbling. Your vantage point is lost, your anchor is lost, and you are floating around, reality becoming harder and harder to hold onto. From my experience, social interactions become less and less, and isolation becomes the norm. Sleep is a hard thing to find, and time becomes a hard thing to judge. Without having a strong foundation to stand on, we lose sense of who we are, what's going on, and what reality truly is. The spinning brain becomes enemy number one, and the hopes of overcoming slowly evaporate into the fog. To make it through that haze, the best thing we can do is to relate, to find a common bond that can facilitate understanding, to eventually realize that we are not alone.
As a tattooer, I am extremely fortunate to tattoo people everyday, people that are from all walks of life, coming from all kinds of different places. Once in a while, after tattooing someone a few times, I get a chance to connect with them and share things that we both are challenged with and struggle with; I find a kindred spirit in hope. I was fortunate to start tattooing Jason Taylor years ago, when I was in a much more difficult place, one that we both could identify with. In Jason, I felt like I was less crazy and alone, and I began to realize that maybe there was something else out there besides the fog I had been in. I really looked forward to his appointments, and it was during one of these that we came up with the idea of tattooing a little brain monster on him, representing that place we both found ourselves lost in. Overcoming that brain became just as important to me, and I was lucky to watch Jason take the steps to achieve this, and his example gave me hope. As tattooers we get called therapist, but in this situation with Jason, I found myself being the one finding hope in change.

Global car hire, airport or city
Airportrentals.com has expanded its car-rental offering, now incorporating over 25,000 city depots around the world. So, whether you are looking for a straightforward car hire direct from the airport or within a city, we now have the option for you. With our easy-to use website, you can 'Search by City pick up', as well as 'Search by Airport pick up'. For example, if you enter London as your city pick-up location, a list including the likes of Barnet, Wandsworth, Croydon and Enfield will appear. London's a big place, but not when it comes to finding a car rental. We make it easy, so you can pick-up at a convenient location.
The advantages of a city pick-up
While an airport collection is convenient, this idea may not fit in with your travel plans. Perhaps your flight is getting in late and you just want to catch a cab to your hotel after you land? In this case, you can book a car-rental pick-up in the city with airportrentals.com. This could be closer to your accommodation for the next day. You can also compare deals - perhaps you can save money with a city booking, instead of picking up at the airport. Have you had car trouble and need a last-minute rental? Again, our easy-to-use city option will solve that problem for you. From local to international brands, airportrentals.com has you covered for a variety of vehicles, from standard economy two-doors, to luxury SUVs, Jeeps and minivans. Filter by size, class and even age.
A comprehensive selection of cities
There is now only one site for all of your car rental needs. Whether you are travelling for work or leisure, airportrentals.com allows you to compare all of the deals on offer so you can make an informed decision. From the cheapest to the biggest, or perhaps you're looking for a particular type of vehicle. Whether it's Vancouver or Vienna, Barcelona or Bariloche, whatever location you're visiting, we will have a car rental deal for you. Our flexibility and customer service standards are still the same, you just have even more car hire options to choose from.

TEL AVIV (Jun. 11)
Ireland's Foreign Minister Garret Fitzgerald said today that he sees no difficulties in carrying out the trade agreement between Israel and the European Economic Community. Fitzgerald, who was chairman of the EEC's Ministerial Council when the treaty was signed last month, admitted that the Arab states had objected to approval of the treaty with Israel before treaties had been negotiated with the Arab countries. But Fitzgerald said he believed these problems were ironed out during his recent visit to four Arab countries.
Fitzgerald made his comments at Ben Gurion Airport as he ended a three-day visit to Israel. He said he found in Israel and the Arab countries a keen desire for peace and felt the chances for a settlement were better than ever before. Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, who saw Fitzgerald off, said the visit had contributed to improving the ties between Israel and Ireland.

Ahhhh memory games, they used to be so much fun when we were younger right?! Well, I'll let you in on a little secret my friend…they're still pretty dam fun! Today we're sharing our very own memory game that we've designed for a bridal shower (even kids can get involved!) and the great news is you can download it for free right here!
A Printer // White paper or card // Colourful card // Craft glue // Printable bridal shower game //
Making this game is SUPER easy, I'm not even sure it warrants naming any 'steps'. All you need to do is download the template above and print the squares out onto white paper or card then cut them out. If you want the make the game a little more colourful or tie it in with a theme you can glue the squares onto some coloured card (I used pink) so that when they're turned over they look super pretty! Job done!
The best news is that this game matches our bridal shower photo booth props PERFECTLY so if you want to create a bridal shower that all ties in nicely together (whilst also getting some super fun photos of your gal pals!) then you can download our props below!
So if you're not familiar with memory games then here's the low down. Once you've got the cards ready you need to mix them up and arrange them face down on the table. Then, turn two cards at a time to see if they match. If they do match then you can leave them facing up or take them away, if not turn them back over and keep going!

A Parliamentary Committee, examining the Bill on raising the FDI cap in insurance sector to 49 percent, will be presenting its report on December 8. Latest News from Business News Desk
India could become an insurance hub if the government proposal on FDI hike in the key sector comes through and it comes out with right regulation and infrastructure, they said.
"In economic terms, India is at a turning point in its history, experiencing a renaissance politically, commercially, culturally. While GDP globally is flat, the IMF recently has revised India's forecasts upwards to 5.6 percent," Lloyd's Chairman John Nelson has said.
He was speaking at the first-ever Indian International Insurance Summit at London organized recently by Asia Insurance Post and Indian Merchants' Chambers.
"Most importantly, the new government has already demonstrated that it is open to economic reform to encourage business to become outward looking and to modernize itself," he said.
Significant Indian risks include earthquake, drought, storm and flood, and this year we have recently witnessed devastating flood events in Kashmir and Jammu, followed by severe losses from Cyclones Hudhud and Nilofer, Nelson said.
"Putting this in numerical terms, our research shows a 1 percent rise in insurance penetration translates into a 13 percent reduction in uninsured losses - a 22 percent reduction in the taxpayer contribution following a disaster and increased investment equivalent of 2 percent of national GDP. We see examples of this virtuous circle played out in many economies," he explained.
At present, non-life insurance penetration in India is under 1 percent of GDP (0.8 percent).
GIC Re General Manager Alice Vaidyan said India has potential to emerge as a regional insurance hub.
"The Indian markets have been the top performers in Asia Pacific region."
"India could benefit from the expertise of the London insurance industry," New India Assurance Director and General Manager Sanath Kumar said at the summit.
Swiss Re Global Partnerships Chairman Martyn Parker said theIndian Government should allow opening of local branches of international re-insurers.

WASHINGTON — The common ground between the U.S. and Russia — and Presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin — has been shrinking steadily in spite of the much-touted "reset" of relations between the old Cold War foes. And it just got even smaller. The latest blow to improving relations came Wednesday when Obama, annoyed with Putin's decision to grant temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, canceled a face-to-face summit with the Russian leader. While U.S. and Russian foreign and defense ministers will sit down in Washington later this week, Obama won't be going to Moscow next month. By Matthew Lee and Deb Riechmann.

FORT HOOD, Texas — A U.S. military judge could decide Thursday whether the soldier accused in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood is trying to guarantee himself a death sentence. Defense attorneys ordered to help Maj. Nidal Hasan as he represents himself during his murder trial said they believe he is trying to convince jurors to convict him. After only one day of testimony, the lawyers said, they couldn't watch him fulfill a death wish. By Nomaan Merchant and Paul J. Weber.

TORONTO — The mother of two small boys strangled by a 100-pound (45-kilogram) python in their sleep earlier this week in Canada had posted photos on Facebook last year of the boys playing in and cleaning her neighbor's snake enclosure. Mandy Trecartin's Facebook page has hundreds of photos of her sons, including a few showing Noah Barthe, 4, and Connor Barthe, 6, happily scrubbing the glass enclosure, which she identified as an anaconda habitat. It was not clear whether the enclosure is the one that held the python. By Rob Gillies.

|Why Buy Our Truck Tents:
Truck Tent Photos
Truck tents are quickly becoming a popular accessory for truck and car owners who love to camp, and who would rather take advantage of the space and comfort afforded to them by their existing vehicle, rather than hassle with the often cumbersome and uncomfortable task of setting up and sleeping in a traditional tent.
Truck tents are available in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on your vehicle type, size, and your personal camping preferences. For roughly the price of a hotel room, you can purchase a truck tent that can be used almost anywhere, anytime and can usually be set up in less than 20 minutes!
Truck Tent Options
The traditional truck tent, designed for pickups, provides additional warmth and protection from moisture than the traditional tent because it slides over the edge of the truck bed and allows campers to sleep off the ground.
The SUV/van tent wraps around the entire cargo area of the SUV/van allowing extra space for even more sleepers and easy access to rear of the SUV or van.
Models are also available for vehicles in just about any car class; they attach not to a traditional cargo area, but to after-market roof racks (rather than the actual roof of your vehicle). Once attached, they can be opened in minutes by cranking a simple handle.
Truck tents also come in simpler models that attach to sport vehicles with a rear lift-gate that already has an enclosed roof. The tents provide a weather-protected rear vestibule area to allow campers to take advantage of the excess space an open rear lift-gate provides.
Truck Tent Cost
Prices on all tents range from roughly $150 to $600 or more; depending on size, as well as features like hinged awnings and detachable tent portions that can be left at the campsite while campers venture out in their vehicles. Because of increasing popularity, prices also vary by vendor, so it pays to shop around.
Before you buy, there are several key features to consider.
- Poles: Older models require poles both inside and outside the tent. Better designs have fewer poles and pole sleeves are color coordinated to make set-up easier.
- Ventilation: Look for top ventilation to let out moisture and provide better lighting during the day.
- Floors: Some truck tents have sewn-in floors. Others have no floors or an optional/zip-out tent floor. Chose the type that's best for you.
- Truck size: Know the length of your bed, and measure the bed with the tailgate up; many of the same truck models have different size bed.

Cross Join joins the two tables.
In this section we will read about how the two tables can be joined using cross join in MySQL. Here we will see cross joining using a simple example.
Cross Join in SQL joins two tables. These two tables are joined in such a way that the each row of first table is joined with the each row of second table. After cross joining the tables it produces the total rows as number of rows in first table * number of rows in second table.
You may use the cross join using SQL SELECT query. This query returns the products of rows or records from the two tables.
SELECT * FROM table1 CROSS JOIN table2;
An image given below demonstrate you the cross joining of two tables in graphical way.
Here an example is being given which will demonstrate you how to do cross join in Java using MySQL. In this example we will first create two different tables and then we will insert some bulk values in both tables and then we will create a Java class where will write the code for database connectivity and execute the SQL query. We will execute the SQL query for cross joining of two tables.
Create table 'country'
CREATE TABLE `country` ( `countryName` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
After inserting the value in the table 'country' table is look like as follows :
Create table 'fruitorder'
CREATE TABLE `fruitorder` ( `fruitName` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
After inserting the value into the table 'fruitorder' table is look like as follows :
import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.PreparedStatement; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; public class CrossJoinExample { public static void main(String args[]) { Connection con = null; PreparedStatement ps = null; ResultSet rs = null; String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; String user = "root"; String password = "root"; String url ="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/record"; String sql = "select * from fruitorder cross join country"; try{ Class.forName(driver); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password); ps = con.prepareStatement(sql); rs = ps.executeQuery(); System.out.println("fruitName\tcountryName"); while(rs.next()) { String fruit = rs.getString("fruitName"); String country = rs.getString("countryName"); System.out.println(fruit+" \t "+country); } } catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) { cnfe.printStackTrace(); } catch(SQLException sqle) { sqle.printStackTrace(); } } }
When you will compile and execute the above example you will get the output as follows :

Looking for a sweet, filling and healthy breakfast? Try this Paleo Caramel Sweet Potato Casserole Baked Pancake! It's made with only 8 ingredients and made in the blender!
Can I get an amen for tasty breakfast recipes that get your day started off on the right note? Seriously, think back to the last time you either forgot or didn't have time to eat breafast. Was your day full of peace and joy? Or did you want to punch everyone in the face? I'll assume that you weren't a happy camper!
When I don't get to eat breakfast in the morning, I get hungry, then angry, then HANGRY. But when I do have time to make a delicious and hearty breakfast, I usually have a pretty fantastic day. Maybe that's why they say breakfast is the "most important meal of the day." It basically sets the tone (and your mood) for the day. I guess that doesn't matter if you're not used to eating breakfast though, then you should disregard my last few sentences and help me understand why you don't like breakfast!?
If you're like me, you could you breakfast for every meal of the day and not get bored of it. I could also probably write a novel about breakfast, but I don't want to bore you. So let's get to talking about this recipe. Who likes sweet potato casserole? It's my favorite Thanksgiving side dish because it basically tastes like dessert and since I love eating dessert for breakfast, I am certain that I would eat it for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving if there was any left (which there never is!).
This thick, dense, baked pancake tastes exactly like sweet potato casserole. If you also love the classic Thanksgiving side dish, I am 100% sure that you'll love it too.
It's made from only 8 ingredients and mixed in the blender! Here are the ingredients:
sweet potato
coconut flour

Some things aren't all that funny.
Winner of the 2003 Erma Bombeck Award.
The other day I dropped off my son's little bike at the church rummage sale.
This is the little bike with special knurled steel pegs sticking out of the front axle, pegs my son could stand on so he could, for reasons obvious only to him, bounce and pirouette the bike on its front wheel.
This is the little bike that had no kickstand, and no fenders, and no trim of any kind, because these things would add weight, and weight is to be avoided at all costs when the whole idea of a little bike is to defy the laws of physics.
We don't know their stories, but each girl has one. They are tall and short, thin and not-so-thin, brash and reserved. Some of them show a sadness in their eyes deeper than you want to imagine, and others wear a mask that most of the world will never penetrate.
And they are children.
These are the young women living at Vista Maria, a foster care facility for at-risk girls in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. Most of them are there to escape lives of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Some of them were rescued from human trafficking operations – which is a twenty-first century euphemism for slavery. They range in age from eleven to eighteen, but the average is about fourteen.
Let's put that into perspective. When I was fourteen years old, the girl I liked "went out" with me on our first "real" date. Her mom dropped us off at a theater to see a movie. I think it was The Great Race, because we were not allowed to go to the racy new Bond film, Thunderball. Then her dad picked us up and sat by himself at another table while I bought her a root beer float at A&W.
Sadly, these girls have lived in a very different world. And now they find themselves in the sanctuary of Vista Maria, getting the help they need as they try to rebuild lives that should be way too new and pure to need rebuilding. Last week, thanks to funding from NorthRidge Church in Plymouth, MI, my Lost Voices team had the incredible privilege to join in that effort.
When I was a kid I had a sort-of girlfriend called Catnip Catie. Her name came from the fact that she always kept her personal supply of Whacky Wonder Weed hidden in her cat's toys. Mind you, this was back in the olden days, before you could get a Prescription for legal Whacky Wonder Weed to treat your case of Restless Leg Syndrome.
I met Catie working in the hospital, where she was a Licensed Practical Nurse and I was a Certified Bedpan Technologist. She was also an artist, so she painted peace signs, and flowers, and variations on those cool Keep On Truckin' cartoon guys on my guitar. She lived in a very colorful little Catie-decorated house trailer parked out in a field behind an old gas station.
Catie didn't turn out to be a huge part of my life. I knew her for a couple of years, then we drifted our separate ways. But sometimes, forty years later, I like to just shut my eyes, and drift back, and hang out for a while in Catie's trailer, inhaling the scent of her patchouli, and her paint, and fresh coffee, and last week's bacon, all laced with just a hint of Whacky Wonder Weed and kitty litter.

Security company Websense has warned of adult videos on MySpace pages which look as if they come from YouTube. In fact the films are hosted by the website yootube.info. When they are played the videos try to get the user to install the "Zango Cash Toolbar" adware program via a Windows Media Player dialogue box. The video can only be viewed if the user agrees to the installation.
The trust that many users have in MySpace and YouTube is being exploited by the misleading domain yootube.info to install unwanted software onto their computers. This appears to represent a new trend. Wikipedia's reputation is also currently being exploited by criminals to infiltrate malware.
It is to be anticipated that fraudulent websites will increasingly utilise such social engineering approaches to attract their victims and infiltrate not just adware, but also spyware and trojans. The "Zango Cash Toolbar" adware program installed in this case - formally known as 180Solutions - is of the more harmless variety. It merely opens a number of popups each day. The website operators responsible for the toolbar installation receive money from Zango based on the number of installations.
The company was recently ordered to pay a 3 million US dollar fine for distributing adware. From now on, Zango can only install its program with the user's express consent. This consent is apparently now to be obtained using the support of the porn industry.

President Bashar al-Assad's interview with Le Figaro
President Bashar al-Assad gave an interview to the French daily Le Figaro. Following is the full text:
Malbrunot: Mr. President, the Americans and the French have accused you of perpetrating a chemical attack on the 21st of August in Ghouta, which led to the death of hundreds. Do you have evidence to suggest that your army did not launch the attack?
The situation on the ground is much better now than it was a year ago
President al-Assad: First of all, anyone making such an accusation is also responsible for providing the evidence to substantiate the allegation. We have challenged them to present a shred of legitimate evidence, which they have not been able to do. Since their foreign policy should be tailored to suit the interests of their own people, we have challenged them to present legitimate evidence to their own public opinion to substantiate their claims; again they have not done so.
Secondly, where is the logic in us carrying out an attack of this nature: two years into the crisis I can confidently state that the situation on the ground is much better now than it was a year ago; how is it conceivable then that an army making significant advancements on the ground through conventional armament would resort to using weapons of mass destruction?
I am neither confirming nor denying that we possess such weapons – this is not a matter for discussion. For the sake of argument, if the army had such weapons and decided to use them, is it conceivable that it would use them in areas where its own troops are deployed? Where is the logic in that? Additionally is it really plausible that the use of these weapons in a heavily populated area in the suburbs of the capital did not kill tens of thousands; these substances travel in the air.
Malbrunot: President Obama has postponed a military strike on Syria, how do you explain this?
President al-Assad: Some have seen Obama as weak because of his decision to withdraw or delay a possible strike by days or weeks; by waging a war on Syria, others have seen him as a strong leader of a powerful country.
From my perspective, power lies in your ability to prevent wars not in igniting them. If Obama was strong, he would have stood up and said that there is no evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons, he would have stood up and said that the right way forward is to wait for the results of the UN investigations and work through the UN Security Council. However, as I see it, he is weak because he succumbed to internal pressure and threatened military action. As I said strong leaders are those who prevent wars not those who inflame them.

I don't remember getting that vibe when I tried it.
Thread: gingerbread cologne?
Looking for a gingerbread cookie vibe kind of cologne, thing surge lutes 5 o clock will accomplish the task?
I don't remember getting that vibe when I tried it.
Any recommendations? I'm looking for fall/winter. Leaning towards masculine, and preferably decent projection.
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Winter Delice
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
Cartier Declaration
Thanks I love guerlain. Tonka imperial is a favorite of mine.
L'Artisan's Tea for Two, perfect for winter and with a delicious pain d'épices note.
I smelled tea for two but I get more of a dark tea feeling from it.
Yes, I think you will need to give 5 O' Clock a try. It's a nice frag, and of course, a Lutens.
One other worth a sniff in this area could be Caron's L'Anarchist.
Both of these have better than average projection, at least for me.
Noel au Balcon by Etat Libre d'Orange has a gingerbread cookie vibe.
Current Top Five:
1. Bois des Iles--Chanel
2. George Sand--Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier
3. L'Ame Soeur--Divine
4. Violet Blonde--Tom Ford
5. Santal Blush--Tom Ford
Try Theorema by Fendi if you can find it. It's rich, comforting and gingerbread-y to some extent.
I may also suggest Ginger Musk by Montale, but you really have to try it on your skin. It smells like candied ginger on me.
Bois des Iles (Chanel) is a classic sandalwood with a reputed 'gingerbread note' inside it. EDT or Extrait both good.
Parfumerie Generale "Un Crime Exotique" - this one is liquid gingerbread. Check out if you dare to wear it.

Max TabsTuesday, December 4th, 2012
Here's the second of several Chrome and Chromium browser extensions I've recently written. Earlier, I posted some of the background motivation in Alternate browsing realities.
After installing Max Tabs, your browser will not allow you to have more than 15 tabs open at once. Any time you try to open more tabs, it will automatically close existing tabs to keep you at the limit. If you later close some tabs and go below the limit, tabs will be reopened to show URLs that were previously automatically closed. I.e., the URLs in tabs that are closed are not forgotten, they're stored until you're down to a reasonable number of tabs. (The URLs are not stored across browser sessions, though they easily could be.)
The main idea here is to limit the amount of memory Chrome consumes in keeping tabs open for you. I regularly have about 50 tabs open, sometimes for weeks or even months, on pages I'm planning to read. My laptop gets bogged down as Chrome consumes more and more memory. I've long wanted something to limit my tab habit. I didn't really like any of the options I found in the Chrome Store, so I wrote my own. In case you're wondering, the extension closes your rightmost open tabs.
Max Tabs installs a context menu item that shows you the number of URLs it has closed. If you click the context menu item, you can disable the extension, at which point it will immediately open tabs for all URLs it automatically closed.
Note that the extension starts out disabled. I set it up that way so it would be less alarming on installation (if you have over 15 tabs open when you install it, it will immediately close as many tabs as needed). Enable it via the context menu.
The extension is not in the Chrome Web Store yet. It's still very easy to install: just click here to download the extension, then follow these instructions.
If you're a programmer, or just curious about how to build Chrome extensions, the source code is available on Github. For info on what URLs the extension has closed tabs for, you can look in the console of its background page, accessible from chrome://extensions.

The statement "it doesn't really have to wait until that is actually do-able, just theoretically do-able and under development" is not consistent with a recent conference call discussion about how the WCAG guidelines are used as a guide for government regulations. I agree that we should focus on potential solutions, but I also think we ultimately have to make the guidelines feasible to implement, from a technical and a business standpoint. Wording we've considered, such as "as appropriate to the audience and content" gives us a forum to present the techniques, but not require it for every site. Annuska -----Original Message----- From: Anne Pemberton [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 4:47 PM To: Matt May; Jonathan Chetwynd; Bailey, Bruce; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Green Fingers Matt, The guidelines, especially Version 1, including a lot of things that were simply not do-able yet, so if a version of the guidelines comes out advocating use of a symbolic version, it doesn't really have to wait until that is actually do-able, just theoretically do-able and under development. Look again at my sample ideal pages, especially the one with checkpoint 3.2 ... what is missing that is needed? What is there that shouldn't be? The question isn't whether my research is better than your research, the question is how to fix it. The WCAG promises that the guidelines will result in pages usable by disabled persons, so if the flashy stuff is needed by some disabled people, the promise isn't fulfilled. The WCAG promise that the income of disabled persons will flow to those who follow the guidelines is broken if the guidelines even hint that a site should NOT include stuff needed by Jonathon's folks.

Welcome to the Adivasi Arts Trust, an organisation that promotes awareness of Indian tribal culture, and works with the tribes involving them in digital media projects to make their arts more widely accessible.
Through the activities of the Adivasi Arts Trust, tribal artists gain from increased exposure and a new appreciation of their artistic traditions.
Adivasi literally means "original inhabitants", or indigenous people. Adivasi culture has been passed on from one generation to another in the form of oral tradition, but with the impact of modern Westernized civilization in India, this practice is disappearing. By encouraging the use of Indian tribal languages, oral tradition and story telling is kept alive for future generations and the integrity of the tribes is maintained.
Difficulties faced by tribal artists include lack of materials, psychological demoralization, a sense of inferiority in the face of commercial products and the absence of patronage. It is important to promote tribal arts so that artists and artisans will be able to sustain themselves and continue their work, and it will also encourage cultural pride and well being within the tribal communities.

"Among the routes of human exposure to estrogens, we are mostly concerned about cow's milk, which contains considerable amounts of female sex hormones," Ganmaa told her audience. Dairy, she added, accounts for 60 percent to 80 percent of estrogens consumed.
Part of the problem seems to be milk from modern dairy farms, where cows are milked about 300 days a year. For much of that time, the cows are pregnant. The later in pregnancy a cow is, the more hormones appear in her milk.
One study compared diet and cancer rates in 42 counties. It showed that milk and cheese consumption are stron

I have to be honest I'm not convinced.
Most adult males drink one maybe two glasses of milk a day, many not even that. A bit of cheese here and there, cheese actually might be what a man will eat more of, but I do not see the amount to be enough to be injesting enough female hormones to loose their manliness.
You will have to offer up proof there is a serious corolation between a minimal amount of dairy products and loss of a mans manhood.

Believe me, I feel lucky. It is one of the few good things I can say about living in Ca. we can still buy and sell raw milk.
The added hormones the put in factory farmed milk is scary. You are 100% right about soy as well.

I guarantee that you will get more wholesome, pure milk from a lactating male pumped full of estrogen than you will get from a modern day cow from a dairy farm.
Please, do the tests to prove me wrong, and send the results to FOX news and the others.
I know men who are more feminine than women, and vice versa... but the BPA pumping through the men will lactate far more than the masculine women, and the nutrition will be far more healthier than cows' milk.
You've heard of them before.. they're called the "Milk Men."

Wait, so organic female cows do not contain female hormones? They are still pregnant when milked right? I'm not buying that, perhaps it has less, but certainly not zero! I still don't think drinking the milk of animals is good whether it be organic or not. Would you drink cat milk? Or rat milk? Why cow milk? Cow milk is for cows right?
Originally posted by Logman
Your raw milk has the same hormones as regular milk. Farmers are not adding the hormones, it's because the cows are pregnant.
There is no connection between milk and gayness, how ridiculous. I drink copious amounts of milk and I can assure you I'm a regular hot-blooded male. I work out, box (and beat people half my age in da gym), have black belts in multiple martial arts, married, with 3 kids and could kick most people's ass to the curb quite easily. And I feel like I want to all the time, lol.
Metrosexuality is a societal thing. It's the result of upbringing, media, community, how sexuality is perceived in society.
Not milk, trolololol.

The art of possibility.
At Mosaic Learning Center, we create meaningful and vibrant programs for students with developmental disabilities, (ADHD, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Trauma, Intellectual Disabilities and other complex diagnosis). As a place of learning and a community partner, we seek to create purposeful experiences and educational opportunities that provide maximum benefit for our students and their families.
We have a deep respect for our students, and for the value of understanding their individual journeys and strengths. Through the discovery and alignment of each student's unique abilities, we are able to create dynamic instruction that engages more meaningful learning.
Learning for life.
Students at Mosaic explore opportunities for new learning in group, individual, and community settings. Through a combination of teaching techniques, students learn strategies for self-regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal relationships that enhance their ability to learn academic skills. Each student receives instruction based on the principals of applied behavior analysis (ABA) from our experienced, caring staff.
Who is the staff at Mosaic? We're special educators, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, behaviorists, and instructors. We develop individualized programs that capitalize on our student's strengths, addressing areas of challenge, and creating opportunities for meaningful growth.
Many parts. One purpose.
Our approach is similar to the way a mosaic comes together. Understanding the many components that contribute to a student's growth as a whole, we create a community partnership, continually strengthening the collaboration between our program, community providers, and public schools. The result is more than the sum of its parts: a student who enjoys the process of learning and achieves more than anyone would have dreamed.

The Cathlapotle Plankhouse is a full-scale Chinookan Plankhouse located on the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. It was built based on archaeological evidence from the Cathlapotle archaeological site located on the refuge property. This archaeological site is what remains of the town of Cathlapotle, a Chinookan town encountered by Lewis and Clark on their expedition.
The Plankhouse and the objects inside of it offer a tangible link to those who lived here in the past and provides a unique site for the interpretation of the natural and cultural heritage preserved on Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Washington.
The Plankhouse is typically open from Noon to 4:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from April to October, and by special arrangement. As much as we would like to keep the Plankhouse open more, open hours are based on volunteer availability, so please check the calendar before making a trip out. The Plankhouse also offers various programs and workshops, check the calendar for a complete list of upcoming activities. We invite you to explore this web site and come out to the refuge to explore the Plankhouse.

Microwave and Millimeter Wave Electronics Laboratory
Radio Frequency CMOS Design
Despite the challenges presented by low resistivity substrates, sub-optimal active and passive devices, in recent years there has been a tremendous push to implement standard RF circuitry within low-cost digital CMOS processes. Our group is involved in this effort through the design and testing of key RF circuits such as distributed amplifiers and power combiners within standard CMOS. Success in this field requires a strong understanding of device physics, transistor-level design and an appreciation for RF and microwave circuit design concepts.

Our current efforts are focused on developing on-chip stabilization circuitry to control the performance of CMOS active inductors in Wilkinson power dividing applications.
Students involved in RF CMOS design in our group make use of several key pieces of software and test equipment including:
- Cadence, The Advanced Design System, IE3D, HFSS
- Agilent N5230A 20 GHz Four-Port Vector Network Analyzer
- Agilent N5250A 110 GHz Vector Network Analyzer
- Cascade Microtech Precision RF Probe Station
- Agilent E8251A 20 GHz Signal Generator
- An array of standard electronic bench equipment
Waveguide Based Power Combining
Due to a variety of factors, the upper millimeter and submillimeter wave ranges are compelling for implementation of a variety of electronic systems including radar, remote sensing, high capacity covert communications and chemical and biological agent detection. A fundamental challenge in realizing electronic circuitry at these frequencies is the modest output power single solid-state active devices can provide. In many instances, power combining schemes must be implemented that efficiently couple multiple solid-state devices. This research focuses on evaluating waveguide-based combining structures that can be implemented within existing micromachining processes.

In Language Arts the students are exposed to the four main skills in the English language, which are reading, writing, listening and speaking. English instruction is done in a holistic approach. We develop reading skills such as identifying the main idea and supporting details, identifying cause and effect, predicting, inferring and using reading strategies to learn about vocabulary through context. In the early elementary grades children are taught about the relationship between letters and sounds, also comprehension skills are taught by having the students read silently and answer various types of questions. To help our children develop new vocabulary, we usually provide a spelling list or help them identify vocabulary through context. Children learn to develop more writing skills by creating their own stories using the writing process. Writing development progresses from scribbling to invented spelling to short stories and, eventually, to mature writing. Grammar rules are provided so that students use them while developing writing skills. Speaking and listening is taught through fun activities, such as Show and Tell and Talent Shows, where we encourage children to express their ideas and opinions, or through oral expositions and presentations.
Science is taught as a tool to support the English education program. In addition to developing new vocabulary and encouraging children to communicate in English, children learn that science develops new ideas through observing, thinking and experimenting. Our students work with projects, presentations and experiments preventing vocabulary from being mistaken for understanding of science itself. Students build connections with other subjects and daily events.
