Aluminum links and leaf components on the earwire of your choosing.
This listing is for a BOLD PEACOCK mix featuring various shades of bright lime, violet, purple, turquoise. The design can be custom made in a variety of colors including solid-gold or solid silver color - check out the color inspiration chart in the listing for ideas.
NOTE ABOUT COLORS: Due to dye lots as well as different computer screen settings, the color of your piece may vary slightly from what you see in the photo. This is part of the charm of lovingly handcrafted items, and it makes each piece unique. :-) Please message me before purchasing if you are looking to match a very specific color

We have reproduced some antique beads in our own collection. These copal beads have hand carved caps with elegent tibetan designs. Each bead is hand made in Kathmandu Nepal.
Copal is natural tree sap that that hardens like amber and is traditional in Nepal and India to create traditional jewelry.
2 inches long
I bought two of these Gorgeous red copal beads to go on either side of the red coral Ganesh alter pendant that I had previously purchased from here. STUNNING!!! Simply stunning!!! They are larger than I had imagined, & they feel so good! They truly are lovelier in person than in the photo. One is slightly larger than the other, but that only adds to their beauty, in my opinion. And they are PERFECT with the red coral Ganesh altar pendant!!! After receiving these beads, I'm seriously considering ordering the small round red copal beads, too!!
I purchased two of these copal beads to go with my red coral Ganesha altar pendant (also from here!). When I opened the package, I was really surprised by how large they were. One is slightly larger than the other, but it only adds to their beauty, in my opinion. The copal is very lovely in the light & feels so smooth! The metal tips are gorgeous & add substantial weight to them. Just an FYI, they look INCREDIBLE with the red coral Ganesh altar pendant!!!

Roman imports in the Geto-Dacian settlement at Cetăţeni and their implication for the final habitation chronology
Autor: Dragoş Măndescu
The remarkable development and prosperity of Geto-Dacian settlement at Cetăţeni (Argeş county) must be argued especially through the control of the ancient route (commercial at first), which follow the course of the Dâmboviţa River. In a greater amount than in the autochthonous contemporary settlements, certifying the station's profile, at Cetăţeni are present the importated wares, reflecting relationships especially with the southern side, Greek and Macedonian world, as well as with the Celtic and Roman, too.
The ensemble of Roman importation wares at Cetăţeni covers a time period equivalent with almost one and half century. The oldest Roman artifacts are the coins from the hoard found in 1960, echelonated between the second half of the 2nd century and the end of the 1st century B. C. To the period of Augustus belonged a bronze fibula of Jezerine type. In the first half of the 1st century A. D. is dated a bronze fibula of Almgren 236 type (Doppelknopffibel). The middle and second half of the 1st century A. D. are surprisingly well-equipped in Roman imports: an sestert from the emperor Claudius the 1st, an lorica segmentata bronze tie hook, a pair of fragmental compasses and, finally, a denarium from the emperor Trajan.
The Geto-Dacians were the inhabitants of the Cetăţeni settlement certainly until the second half of the 1st century A. D., whether not even until at the side of the emperor Trajan's Dacian wars.

Celebrating 25 years
The 25th Anniversary GTI, released in 2002 to coincide with the 25th Anniversary of the release of the original Mk1 GTI, has gone on to become one of the MK4's most sought after models. Due in part to the limited production run of 1800 models, split evenly into 900 petrol and 900 diesel models, it has caused solid residuals and a good base of owners to be formed.
Only three colours were available when the car was produced; Relfex Silver, Tornado Red and Black Magic Pearl. The car was also only available a three door. Special edition seats, equipment and body kit made sure the Anniversary model stood out from the crowd.
18-inch BBS alloy wheels, Recaro sports seats and a great many more technical details which make this model yet another highlight in the history of the GTI.
With its new appearance, the special model Golf GTI is a real eye-opener. The modified bumpers at the front and rear, the large alloy wheels with 225/40 R18 tyres, the widened sills, the rear spoiler and rear apron all combine to give a sporty overall impression
A glance at the interior reveals aluminium-coloured sill panel trims, complete with GTI logo, and ergonomically shaped Recaro sports seats. These also bear the brilliant red GTI logo, as does the backrest of the split rear seat.
The instrument cluster consists of round dials with a modern, aluminium look – a large speedometer and rev counter and smaller coolant temperature and fuel gauges. The centre console and interior door handles are finished with decorative trims made of brushed aluminium. With their perforated leather and red stitching, the steering wheel, the handbrake and the gear lever gaiter all hark back to the original GTI of 1976, as does the gear lever knob in the design of a golf ball.

5 Uses For Experts
Finding The Best Emergency Locksmith Service
You may have lost your keys during a snowboard vacation or you may have simply gotten locked out of your own car or house – for such cases, you'll surely be in need of the best emergency locksmith services. With the plenty of just-in-case moments that may happen sooner than later, it is vital to make sure that you are always prepared, making it important to have the contact numbers of services you could call at a moment's notice.
It is vital though, that you do not do things halfheartedly – make sure that you take into account several important aspects to make sure that you find the most optimal decision for you. Choosing the best will allow you to save money and time in the process but more importantly, it would be the key that will enable you to get out of that sticky situation with minimal amount of stress.
You should first pay attention to whether the locksmith service have a call-out fee in the list of things you'd have to pay. There are some out there who'd have a considerable amount of fee just by calling them out for emergencies but those greater ones would surely be going to your help with no call-out fee at all. In the case that you pick a company with a call-out fee, just make sure that you are aware of it so you wouldn't be taken by surprise.
One of the most important thing for you to note though, is if the emergency locksmith service always open throughout the day. The last thing that you'd want to happen is getting a locksmith service who isn't available when you direly need them, making it vital to double check their schedule just to put yourself at ease
You should also look into the locations which their service covers. Make sure that they would be able to cover most places where you often see yourself travelling to, especially the area where you live. Make sure that you get few outstanding locksmith services added on your list, especially those locksmiths which have their operation available on areas you frequently visit as this move will act as a layer of protection for you and your family in those just-in-case scenarios.
Response time or how quick they'll be able to get to you is also very important for you to consider. Making sure that you pick a service who could go to your location as fast as 30 minutes would surely be a big difference to your experience, as this will make sure that you'll be able to solve the problem as soon as possible.

View Larger Map
This entry is by guest Blogger Kyle Courtaway. Kyle has extensive backpacking, canoeing, and camping experience. He lives in Illinois and ventures to the Boundary Waters as often as he can.
People travel in the wilderness to, among other things, feel a sense of space apart from other humans. It is one aspect of being in the Boundary Waters that I have always valued.
I brought a satellite phone during my first canoe solo trip in case there were any emergencies and to put a call into my wife halfway through. While I felt like it was a smart decision, it also felt like a very large connection back to civilization. Personally, it felt like there was always a "crutch" in case I felt uncomfortable. Also the act of dialing a phone and speaking to someone back at home can have the effect of taking you out of the wilderness. The reality is that whether traveling alone or with a group it is important to have a method of communication in case something unexpected occurs.
On my solo trip this month, I took along the Satellite Personal Tracker (SPoT). The SPoT is a device that, similar to a sat phone, uses satellites as a method of communication (as opposed to mobile phones that are still spotty in the BW).
However, it is the differences between the SPoT and the satellite phone that, I believe, make it a great alternative to the sat phone for wilderness travel.
Construction: The first thing that you notice is that the SPoT is half the size of the sat phone. This makes it easier to carry in the day/fanny pack leaving it closer to you in case of emergency.
Durability and Portability: The SPoT is both durable (hard plastic shell) and waterproof. The sat phone requires it's own waterproof case. This gives the sat phone a bulky profile to carry with you and generally leaves it sitting in a portage pack.
Communication: This is really where the SPoT is the optimal choice. The SPoT interface has three function buttons:
- 911: Sends a rescue signal and alerts the first responders to your location.
- Ask for Help: Sends a SMS text or email message to family and friends for their help at your location (obviously this is a non-life threatening emergency).
- OK: This button sends a pre-programmed SMS text or email message to family and friends and includes a link to Google Maps so they can see your location.
While the first two function buttons are critical, it's the OK button that I found to be the best of part of the SPoT. This button allowed me to let my wife and family know I was ok as well as give them a picture of where I was without mentally leaving the wilderness to do it. In the "OK" email, SPoT provided a link to Google Maps showing my location. The above Google map is a sample from my trip. The SPoT also provided a set of satellite waypoints so I could review my route post-trip. Using the SPoT is unobtrusive; I would send my OK message when I was preparing dinner at night and put it away. Luckily, I can only give a first-hand review of the OK function and will have to leave the 911 and Ask for Help buttons for another trip!
Finally, the rental rate was half of what a satellite phone would have cost. For those who spend a great deal of time in the wilderness, it is still a significantly cheaper purchase than a sat phone and service. I also found the SPoT to be more reliable than the sat phone, which could take a long time to acquire satellites and sometimes didn't work at all. As a safety and communication option for the wilderness, I would definitely recommend the SPoT for a BWCA trip.

MPs' expenses, the Conservatives' fiddling of crime stats, the Lord Chief Justice's calls for the scrapping of fines for serious offences, N. Ireland and Obama.
Sign up to receive this daily email by 9am every morning.
All the papers lead on what The Times calls a "day of reckoning" for expenses-fiddling MPs, with Sir Thomas Legg delivering his "final damning verdict" says The Independent. 350 MPs will be ordered to pay back more than £1 million, an average of £2,850 reports The Guardian, though individual amounts vary wildly. The Express believes "fiddling MPs will get away with it", while the Standard says all 350 involved will be named, as will all those who have handed back money since the scandal was uncovered. The Telegraph, the paper which broke the story last spring, says Sir Thomas will criticise MPs for establishing a "culture of deference" that allowed abuses to flourish, and make it clear he believes "the entire system was corrupt". The Times, however, reports that the expenses crackdown "may leave MPs better off", with only those living within Zone 6 barred from claiming overnight expenses.
The Times reports on the Conservatives' "fiddling" of violent crime statistics, for which Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling was heavily criticised yesterday after sending violent crime figures between 1999 and 2008 to every Tory candidate in England and Wales – described by official statisticians as "misleading" because the method of collecting data changed in 2002; "the effect was to force up recorded violence by an estimated 35 per cent in the first year," adds the report. The Guardian, meanwhile, says the figures "omitted Home Office caveats about use of crime statistics". Yesterday, Left Foot Forward reported further inaccuracies in Grayling's claims, namely his claim under-16s weren't included in the British Crime Survey – their experiences have been included since 2009.
The Lord Chief Justice has called for the scrapping of fines for serious offences, reports the Telegraph, expressing concern over the use of on-the-spot fines and cautions, saying he was "troubled" by their increased use. In his first report since becoming head of the judiciary, Lord Judge says: "I have said publicly that any assault which causes injury should be dealt with by a court. I welcome the review launched by the Lord Chancellor (Jack Straw) and I hope that it will lead to material changes in the way fixed penalty notices, cautions and conditional cautions are used." Of the 1.3 million crimes solved each year, adds the report, one in four is dealt with by a caution including serious assaults and even some rapes.
Peter Robinson's return as Northern Ireland First Minister is reported by The Guardian. The Democratic Unionist Party leader stepped down on January 11th to clear his name following allegations of financial misconduct in the wake of revelations about his wife's private life. His return comes amid another row over policing, with the Hillsborough Castle talks between the DUP and Sinn Fein showing no signs of a successful resolution – after nearly two weeks of discussion. The Prime Minister yesterday stepped up the pressure on the unionists, warning them that the government would call a "snap assembly election" if the two sides fail to reach a deal.
And, one year into his presidency, The Financial Times profiles Barack Obama's team of closest advisers, dubbed the "fearsome foursome". They are: senior adviser David Axelrod, Obama's longest-standing mentor, from his days in Chicago politics, he is the chief defender of the Obama brand; communications chief Robert Gibbs, who delivers the White House daily briefings, described as the "least likely member of the circle", a former Democrat press officer who worked on John Kerry's 2004 camapaign, seen as a "keeper of the flame"; Rahm Emanuel, chief of staff, the least honey-tongued politician in Washington, and one of the most effective, he may well achieve his aim of becoming the first Jewish speaker of the House of Representatives; and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, an old friend of the Obamas – briefly considered as a candidate to fill Obama's Senate seat, she was part of the circle he consulted before running for president.

Hall to Nowhere
June 22, 2013 § Leave a comment
I disappeared for the last few weeks. It's always been my favorite thing to do. Growing up, we'd have big cleaning days, maybe quarterly, that the whole family was supposed to take part in. Our house was big and incredibly messy. Five girls wear a lot of clothes(or try them on and discard them) and use a lot of dishes. No house needs six and a half bathrooms if you have to clean them yourself. The "laundry room" was really a closet, so the dirty clothes gushed out in waves across the hallway. We just waded through them. There was a useless hallway to the basement we called "the hall to nowhere." It was littered with naked, haircut Barbies, toys, and anything Mom told us to put away. We lived out in the country (at least it used to be the country), so no one really stopped by. My mother gave up most of the time. I can't imagine the energy it would have taken to get us all to pick up after ourselves. Instead, she took off in the car, usually to the grocery, the liquor store, or to pick up a kid, but mostly to escape the rural isolation that she hated, and I came to love.
The whole messy order of our house was turned upside down whenever my parents threw a party. I'm sure this is why having a party throws me into fits of anxiety to this day. Mom would shop for mini quiches, smoked oysters, and plenty of alcohol. The rest of us were on clean up duty. My dad's impressive baritone voice was employed. It echoed through the house: all hands were supposed to be on deck; the walls shook like some unsteady ship. The months of neglect, the waves and waves of dirty clothes, all of it was overwhelming. We'd begin, like conscripted soldiers, wary of punishment for the least sign of defiance. After a while though, when my dad got tired of supervising, I'd slip off to my room with its apple green shag carpet, hide and read. My room, compared to the rest of the house, was an oasis of calm and order. I arranged my stuffed animals in rows on my yellow beanbag chair. I made my bed, just to see the geometry of the butterfly quilt spread smoothly across. This was cleaning, I reasoned. If they saw me go into my room, I'd slip into the hall to nowhere instead. It would sometimes take hours for anyone to notice I was missing. I was often assumed lost.
Recently, I threw a birthday party for my son, and I was predictably anxious. "Twelve year old boys don't care if it's messy," Jeff says, but I care. I hear my dad's voice calling us to order every time. There is no green-carpeted room to hide in, so I have to be in charge.
Two days later though, my boys and I ran away. Actually, we took off in boats, like some kind of lost boys, and paddled to an island, where we camped with friends for five days. There is very little on this island, just a bathhouse for day-trippers. We get as far away from that as we can. We catch some of what we eat. At night and early in the morning, the island appears to be ours. One morning, after a storm, I walk out to the water, look left and right: I am the only one on the bare beach. Not even a dolphin. There is a natural order to the water and the patterned sand, even to the glaring rays of the sun. I have slipped through a portal, like some hall to nowhere, an oasis where there is little laundry and plenty of time to read. I am assumed lost.
No Matter Where You Go
June 1, 2013 § 1 Comment
I'm driving Jack Henry to school when he realizes that time goes by fast. "I feel like it's just the beginning of the school year," he says. "But not, too." His first year of middle school is flat out gone.
"It only gets worse as you get older," I say. There is silence in the back seat as he contemplates this. I glance in the rearview and catch the worry on his face. "It's because you get to do so much," I back pedal, but he is no dummy. He has crossed the line from time being limitless, something to ignore, to something that is measured and marked. I think this is the first check point between childhood and the long narrowing road to adulthood. He will be twelve in a few weeks, but he is still on the bright side of that number, and given his personality, he will probably always see a little more sunlight on the world than I do.
That's something that still awes me about the whole parenting experiment. For those of us who have no idea how parenting is done, we have to make it up each day, and it all feels like a story. Crazy fact: kids believe what you say, positive or negative. Blows my mind every time. They believe what you say about how to spend time too. No matter where you go, there you are, my dad used to say, as a joke, but I believed it.
It is twelve days before Jack Henry turns twelve. We are on the water, in kayaks Jeff has spent hours searching for on Craigslist because time is money, after all. We are cutting across the glass of the lake, afternoon sun on our shoulders. It is maybe 8o degrees from where I sit. Sundown will be late; it's near the solstice. A few families from around the world splash at the banks. Our friends Eric and Joaquin drift away in their canoe. My shoulders sink an inch or two. Jack Henry glides across the lake in a perfect, fast line. Point A to Point B. No time wasted. I have been in this day many times. I have no idea what time it is.
I have noticed lately that I have lost a year or two in the last few years after my parents' deaths. No idea where they went. I just know I was not in this part of the world for a while, and now I am back. Sometimes that makes me feel behind, but I know the time is stored for days like this, when I can stretch time. Maybe that hinge from childhood to adulthood can flip back in the other direction, and the speed of the day is up to us.

Choosing your frames online can be a daunting task; with the main question being "will they suit me?". At Direct Specs we're aware of this issue, which is why we've put together this handy guide to choosing the right frames for your look.
Remember, there are no set-in-stone rules as to which glasses suit which faces, it's all down to personal preference! However, this can help you get a feel for what will really make your shiny, new specs stand out.
For auburn/red hair, we recommend going for frames with colours ranging from browns, golds, bronzes and tortoise-shell types as these shades compliment your hair colour well. The general rule is any colour will work, but never have yellow frames with hair that has reddish tones, as this will have a dulling effect on your luscious fiery locks!
Black hair means you can pretty much wear any colour frames... and your glasses will look great! However, we recommend going for metallic or bright colours if you want your frames to stand out, or darker colours if you'd prefer something more blended in.
Blonde hair and pastel glasses go hand-in-hand. Pink, lilac and blue pastel frames work amazingly with a golden hair colour. We recommend staying away from heavier frames with shades such as navy blues and dark greens. Thinner black frames seem to work really well too!
For darker brown hair, dark reds such as maroon and burgundy work really well with your hair colour! Perhaps if you have lighter hair you might want to opt for frames with a lighter colour too; perhaps bronzes or metallic silvers.
Silvery hair tones mean brighter frames tend to compliment your hair colour the most. Reds, browns and tortoise-shell colours in either plastic or metallic frames are fantastic choices for this hair colour. We would avoid frames that are too heavy and dark, though!

Delphi Introduces New Realm of Safety & Convenience
LAS VEGAS- Using human machine interface (HMI), Delphi Corpo, automotivve safety system developer, has implemented several in-vehicle features that provide safety and convenience. The company demonstrated these features at CES on Monday in its Information, Convenience and Protection vehicle. As a simulator the vehicle shows that the driver can perform all the necessary tasks of driving while also remaining safe and alert.
Delphi's ICP vehicle places controls that require driver attention all within a 20-degree forward field of view. Government and University research shows that when a driver's attention can remain focused on the road within this 20-degree field of view, the number of accidents due to distraction can be reduced.
Technologies on the ICP vehicle's instrument panel include:


text: Urine urea nitrogenUrine urea nitrogen is a test that measures the amount of urea in the urine. Urea nitrogen is a waste product resulting from the breakdown of protein in the body.A 24-hour urine sample is often needed. You will need to collect your urine over 24 hours. Your health care provider will tell you how to do this. Follow instructions exactly to ensure accurate results. How to Prepare for the Test No special preparation is needed. How the Test will Feel The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort. Why the Test is Performed This test is mainly used to check a person's protein balance and the amount of food protein needed by severely ill people. It is also used to determine how much protein a person takes in.Urea is excreted by the kidneys. The test measures the amount of urea the kidneys excrete. The result can show how well the kidneys are working. Normal Results Normal values range from 12 to 20 grams per 24 hours (428.4 to 714 mmol/day).Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your provider about the meaning of your specific test results. What Abnormal Results Mean Low levels usually indicate:Kidney problemsMalnutrition (inadequate protein in diet) High levels usually indicate:Increased protein breakdown in the bodyToo much protein intake Risks There are no risks with this test.ReferencesAgarwal R.

Film photography can be a little complicated. Using a flashlight is even more difficult, but possible. Learn how to do this in the article.
When trying to shoot a film, there's always a temptation to try to do your own thing uniquely. And one way to achieve this is by shooting with the use of a flashlight. Yes, shooting with a flashlight would give you different results that when compared with normal gear but it's worth the try. Shooting your film with a flash can be a whole lot different because there's no much feedback. However, by taking a look at a few tips, the task then becomes less difficult.
Getting this right is going to be great for you. In fact, you're going to get much better results than when you try to edit the picture after filming. Take note that when you shoot the film as separate shots, it's good to make the lighting as consistent as possible. Visible differences in lighting and coloring may cause the movie to appear as if it has been shot in different locations.
Camera and Lights
Regardless of the type of camera which you'll be using, you must get enough light into your shot. The right also has to appear in the right place and not provide too much contrast. Low-model cameras may need some special settings to accommodate this type of light but bigger cameras such as the DSLRs have better capacity at handling low light such as that from a flashlight. It would be better for you to set the camera to manual exposure rather than relying on automatic exposure.
Small or hard lights (such as bare bulbs, flashlight or direct sun, cast harsh shadows. It would be necessary to soften them with the use of a diffuser. This would help you eliminate any shadows. There could either be another light or reflector. Big soft lights such as that from a cloudy white sky or light which is reflected from a white wall are usually the best choice. They offer even lighting but don't have much atmosphere. This means that the whole image will be covered evenly with the same amount of light without leaving any part darker than the other. They are usually the easiest types of lights to use and are great for shooting scenes with a lot of details or group shots. Medium-sized lights such as those from a window or a Chinese paper lantern is small but large enough to be atmospheric.
When shooting, avoid applying your light from directly in front of the character. By doing this, the image, shoot or film may appear flat and without any features. It could also dazzle the character when you have a flashlight pointing directly in their face. However, it may be a great choice for you if you're making a camera that can't handle much contrast. The normal place to set up your flashlight would be as a three-quarter light. This would mean that you place the light at a 45-degree angle in front of the subject. This type of setup helps to add depth to the image you're filming.
Shooting with a flashlight from the side can add a lot of atmosphere to your image but it's a tricky setup to use. If you're shooting against a dark background, it may end up creating a moody low-key effect. You would most likely have to adjust the exposure of the camera to keep the skin tone from appearing too bright. With a flashlight, avoid positioning the light from below unless you're doing a horror shoot. It would make the character appear scary. Also, you should usually avoid shooting into the light unless you're aiming for a silhouette effect. The rim light technique can be a great way to make the character stand out from the background.
Avoid big contrasts
When making use of a flashlight in filming, it's better to have shots that are too flat rather than those with too much controversy. Phone cameras and contrast cameras may not give you the desired effects which you may want. They usually fail at handling scenes with low or high contrast.
If it's possible to adjust the contrast of your camera, do your best to reduce it. Also, try to reduce color saturation. It's possible to boost them during editing but it's much harder to reduce them. Certain cameras even give you the option of filming in a special flat or 'log' modes and they are useful for dealing with contrast. Yes, the footage may appear dull at first but all of this can be corrected during editing.
Three-point lighting
This is the traditional way to shoot movie scenes. It involves the use of the main light, fill light and rim light. You can make use of a flashlight as the main light, the fill light will eliminate any shadows and a rim light will make the object stand out from the background. The main light is usually at the front of the object or character but to one side. Keeping it to the face will help to add more depth to the image and make its features more visible. Adjust how far you put the light to maintain a high-quality image. If the flashlight is too far, it may end up blurring the facial features.
To deal with any shadows, you need to add a fill light. This would be in the opposite direction to the key light and shouldn't be as bright as the main light. It's possible to add a reflector in place of fill light. Next, add a rim light for the backlight. This is usually behind the subject, but out of shot, to make the edges of the subject stand out from the background.
Extra lights that could be included to boost the effect of the flashlight would include a small catchlight. It would add some reflection into the character's eyes.
Don't forget that you're making use of a flashlight and it's your job to make sure that this isn't obvious to the viewer of the film. That's what makes all the extra lighting and setups important.

Good Morning, I guess. It is a new day and I have my health and my family and my home and I do not have to work for a living. I have many things to be thankful for.
Yesterday was a good day, but I feel like I pushed Mari too much. I really feel like I backslid with my codependency. I want to take pictures, but I want them perfect. I am also selfish, as I want to do what I want to do or take pictures of what I want to take pictures of. I feel I am not happy with anything. Rory wants me to take care of him and I want somebody to take care of me. I know God is doing that and I do see it, but I am tired of the one doing everything and everyone else is happy and I am not happy with anything. I feel like I would rather live by myself, then I would still be unhappy.
On to other things. Today, I start the PICS ministry. I am not sure where that is going to go, but we will see. The rest of the day is open.

According to a recent article in US News & World Report, there is somewhere in the ballpark of 27 million people in the U.S. suffering from osteoarthritis (OA) and a large number with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These two types of joint pain require different remedies for the achy, swollen feeling they cause.
Nothing is going to cure arthritis in patients, but heat or cold therapy may help lessen their pain, allow for better range of motion, and get them back into their daily routines and exercise regiments.
Here's a quick and dirty guide for helping patients to decide between hot and cold therapy:
The article also suggests the use of a gel pack instead of the typical ice packs found in lunch boxes. Fleet Feet Sports, Syracuse carries Therapearl. These reusable gel packs that can be either frozen for cold therapy or microwaved for heat and easily contour to the targeted area of the body.

Why retail leaders should watch 'Rotten'
A new Netflix documentary series, "Rotten," alleges widespread corruption and fraud in the food supply chain.
Each of the six episodes tackles controversies of different food sectors, and takes Big Food, and some retailers, to task for not being upfront with consumers about their supply chain practices.
The series' explosive allegations regarding what it calls dishonest food companies, flawed government regulations and the consequences of questionable international trade practices are generating tremendous amounts of publicity and food suppliers and retailers have been bearing the brunt of complaints from consumers.
One of the largest companies criticized in the series is Christopher Ranch, a California garlic supplier to retailers around the world. Christopher Ranch garlic is sold at Costco nad many other retailers.
Ken Christopher, a third generation farmer and Christopher Ranch's executive vice president, told a California newspaper that the company's lawyers have demanded a retraction.
"We felt like our reputation has been dragged completely through the mud for the sake of entertainment," Christopher said, adding his company is proud of its commitment to its customers and community to be both ethical and transparent regarding our business operations.
The show's producer, Zero Point Zero, based in New York, said in a statement: "The series was created to hold the food industry accountable, and we stand by the reporting in the episode and in the series."
Christopher Ranch is not the only company and industry made to look like bad guys in the documentary, which has been widely praised and favorably reviewed by the mainstream media.
Among the series' other allegations:
- More than 20 percent of American chickens are owned by a corporation in Brazil whose proprietors have been charged with bribery and insider trading
- Most of the nearly 50 billion pounds of garlic the world eats each year comes from China, and much of it is peeled by inmates
- Twenty-five percent of the groundfish quotas in New England are owned by a man who is currently serving a 46-month sentence for conspiracy and false labeling
- Most honey sold in the United States is fake

Finding a new dentist is a great first step towards protecting your dental health. Every tooth in your mouth will appreciate receiving the best dental care!
Thinking about your baby and prenatal care is normal during pregnancy; however, thinking about your oral health and dental care may not be forefront on your mind, but dentistry is still very important. Women need to pay special attention to their teeth and gums especially during pregnancy to avoid the increased risk of dental problems.
Pregnancy brings a change in oral health and hormones, especially increased levels of estrogen and progesterone, which are linked to plaque buildup on teeth. Plaque that is not removed can cause gingivitis and swollen gums that are tender and prone to bleed. Most pregnant women experience gingivitis to some degree, but it doesn't usually surface until the second trimester.
If you had gingivitis before becoming pregnant, your condition will likely be aggravated; untreated gingivitis can lead to a more serious problem -- periodontal disease. Swollen gums that become irritated can also lead to pregnancy tumors, benign growths that will usually shrink and disappear without treatment. However, if the tumor causes discomfort or interferes with chewing or brushing, the dentist may suggest removing it.
If you experience dental emergencies causing pain, you can be treated at any time; however, consult your doctor if anesthesia is required or a medication is prescribed to you. Avoid X-rays during pregnancy, unless they are critical to emergency treatment.
It is recommended to schedule elective procedures after your baby's birth. While you're expecting, have great expectations for maintaining good oral health. By doing so, you'll keep your beautiful smile and share it with your baby!

Difference between mother and wife
Two females who can change a person's life that is Wife and Mother. There is a never ending debate on the topic as to who is more important in a family and shown more respect between the two. It is a fact that both of them have different roles and responsibilities which are most important for the growth of the family.
A wife takes care of all the basic needs of her spouse. Wife takes care of her partner when he returns from his work. Wife is a multi-tasker wherein she has to act as an associate, minister and servant depending on the situation. A mother on the other hand is a highly respected person in the family who naturally loves her children. She takes care of their education, nourishes them properly and guides them to be successful in life.
A wife is a companion to a husband while a mother is like a teacher to her children. Mother is like a teacher since she teaches her children with kindness and compassion how to be successful in life from the day he is born. Mother also forgives her children for any mistakes that they commit. On the other hand a wife accompanies her husband at a later stage in life and may not forgive all kind of mistakes or blemishes on the part of the husband. This is one of the most important reasons why many husbands and wives are getting separated after marriage.
The relationship between a wife and a husband is more of faith and trust which at times may be broken due to misunderstanding. On the other hand there is no chance for any kind of misunderstanding between a mother and child as love showed by mother on its children is universal.
It is a pretty difficult task when it comes to the selection of the better of the two. It is quite natural that people have been facing a lot of problem these days when it comes to choosing between the two as both of them have different roles & responsibilities which cannot be used to judge as to who is more important. Whenever people have tried to judge the important from the two based on their roles & responsibilities they have ended up in conflicts which is one of the reason why the number of homes for the aged is on the rise for sure.

We have launched the #Belfie Challenge. We have shaken our booties to Mark MK's "PYB (Protect Ya Butt)" in Central Park. And now we are thrilled to announce that our campaign website, ProtectYourButt.com, is now live!
The Protect Your Butt campaign is going to reach hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions!) of people and we can't wait for our community to be a part of it. Read on to find out exactly what we're up to (and what is UP with that butt in the headset?!) and how you can be a part of this fun, funny, ground-breaking campaign.
What is Protect Your Butt?
Protect Your Butt is an initiative of the Colon Cancer Challenge Foundation. Our mission is to raise awareness of colorectal cancer in a new and innovative way, reaching more people than ever before.
How are we promoting PYB?
We will accomplish our mission via events like the World's Largest Booty Shake and the Colon Cancer Challenge; social media initiatives like the #BelfieChallenge; and launching the Butt Dial. What is the Butt Dial? If you are among the lucky ones on our call list, you'll soon find out for yourself! Chad and his team of butts will be hard at work, making phone calls to help spread the word that colorectal cancer is treatable and beatable if caught early. And, critically, if you know someone who has been putting off getting a colonoscopy or ignoring serious symptoms, you can nominate him or her to get a call from Chad or one of his colleagues! You can also share your own cancer butt-kicking story and help inspire others to join our cause.
What do we hope to accomplish with this bonkers approach?
Cold-calling butts? Really?
Yes. Really. Because colorectal cancer is still the second-leading cause of cancer death in this and many other countries. Because, if caught early, colorectal cancer is treatable and beatable. Because the dramatic rise in early-age onset colorectal cancer is alarming and ridiculous. Because people are still not talking about this disease enough.
But maybe people will talk about a fuzzy butt wearing a headset and blue jeans.
And that is where we start.
We hope you will join us. Click here to Protect Your Butt!

Why YOU Need a WSI Internet Consultant
Want to learn more about WSI, our Internet Consultants and how they can help your business? Please read our "Top 10 Questions" and understand the WSI Advantage.
Q: Who is WSI?
Answer: We're Internet Innovators: WSI Internet Consulting & Education has been developing profitable Internet Solutions for businesses since the mid 1990s. Recognizing that a website offered little value if no one could find it, we deployed a comprehensive directory system that drove targeted leads to our clients' websites. This was a significant advantage in those days, long before the arrival of search engine marketing or the other advanced Internet marketing techniques available today. It was also one of the first examples of the unique benefits a business received by partnering with one of our local Internet Consultants.
Proven Experience Working for You: Over the years, we've seen the rise of the website as a service and distribution channel, the fall of the dot-coms and the explosive growth of e-Commerce. As the Internet continues to evolve, so do our systems, our products and our services. Today, emerging Web technologies allow our Internet Consultants to take their clients' Internet presence to the next level, while never losing focus of our key goal—increasing a company's profitability by building Internet Solutions that work.
Q: What is an "Internet Consultant" and why do I need one for my business?
Answer: Your Trusted Expert: Our Internet Consultants are the new breed of business advisors. Like your lawyer, your accountant, your stock broker—each a trusted business partner whose expertise you rely on to succeed—an Internet Consultant is in your local community to ensure your business realizes the full profit potential offered by Internet technologies. In a nutshell, they are specially trained and certified Internet business experts ready to deliver Internet products and services that best meet your business needs and your budget.
We Show Businesses How to Grow Online: It's important not to confuse our Internet Consultants with Web Designers as they don't simply design websites; they also build profitable, customized Internet Solutions that work for your business. They understand the needs and motivations of a business owner because they're business owners themselves. It's their job to look for opportunities to reduce operating costs, increase your revenues and build your customer base by introducing cost-effective new e-Business tools to your business. For example:
e-Commerce: selling your products and services online is like having a shop that's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round.
e-Business: Save on daily expenses by using the Internet to communicate more efficiently with customers and vendors and gain a better understanding of your market.
Internet Marketing: Target more customers and expand your market without having to open additional locations.
Over the years our Internet Consultants have helped thousands of businesses around the world to grow and prosper online and they're ready to help your business too.
Q: Why should I buy my website from WSI instead of any other Internet Solution provider?
Answer: Apples to Oranges: Before you choose a website package for your business stop and take a moment to see what you're really getting. Off the shelf website packages and do-it-yourself site builders are usually shortcuts that just end up costing you money and leave you with little to no real support after installation. Our Internet Consultants provide you with the ongoing support and measurement tools needed to ensure your website is working for your business.
Internet Business Plan: Our years of experience in this industry have shown that an effective, profitable Internet Solution is the result of careful planning, informed development and ongoing support. Yes, there are countless companies that are capable of building you a website, but if you're truly serious about online success for your business then you deserve our total-service approach. We call it the Internet Solutions Lifecycle™, a proven, six-phased development plan that has produced thousands of successful Internet Solutions for businesses of all sizes worldwide.
Your Bottom Line: When all is said and done, your website should not end up costing you anything, it should produce a measurable return on your investment. Our Internet Solutions Lifecycle™ does just that (phase 6, in case you were wondering), something you won't get with do-it-yourself site builders or standard website packages.
Q: What is an e-Solution?
Answer: You may have heard of the term "e-Business". It was coined by IBM to describe using the Internet in some way to improve the operating efficiencies of a business. E-Solutions (or Internet Solutions as we call them) are simply a set of integrated online tools that enable e-Business. This can include customer service functions, document sharing and management, streamlined communications, and of course, online sales. In fact, many common to complex business functions have e-volved to the Internet.
e-Business for any business: Clearly IBM's concept of e-Business was sound, however their e-Solutions were priced far out of reach of the average business owner. Our Internet Solutions take the same e-Business principle pioneered by IBM and make it accessible to small- and medium-sized businesses worldwide. We do that by leveraging economies of scale created by our production network and our unique distribution channel: our Internet Consultants.
Q: How will implementing a WSI Internet Solution be a benefit to my business?
Answer: Fish Where the Fish Are: More and more consumers are turning to the Internet as their primary method of research for the products and services they buy everyday. Worldwide online shopping numbers continue to climb year after year, and if consumers can't find you online, it's a safe bet they will find your competition. Can you afford to lose that business? It's an important consideration, and an Internet Solution can help you remain competitive in this changing market. Even the Yellow Pages phone directory people now have a website—they know the writing's not on the wall, it's online.
But Wait, There's More: There are many other benefits to a WSI Internet Solution besides reaching more customers and increasing sales (as if that isn't enough!) Your Internet Consultant can offer you a wide range of products and services that make doing business easier and more cost-effective, no matter which industry you're in. From an online restaurant reservation system to a full-service online employment agency and beyond, these are real solutions for real businesses.
Q: What time and resources are required from me, the end-user?
Answer: Save Time, Save Money: Working with an Internet Consultant will actually cost you less time than if you were to attempt a do-it-yourself website, or tried to figure out how to customize a ready-made package. At the onset, your Internet Consultant will want to spend time with you at your place of business to conduct an Internet Business Analysis™, our patent-pending business evaluation tool. After this question and answer period, your Internet Consultant will have enough information to create a unique Internet Solution proposal for you.
Your Input: As you move forward in the process, you'll have the opportunity to review customized design concepts and provide the content for your site. This is the fun stuff, and your Internet Consultant will ensure your website's design is something you'll be proud to show your customers. Everything else is done by your Internet Consultant and our production facilities until it's time for you to test the new site. It's an easy process and your Internet Consultant will always be on hand to offer experienced advice and guidance.
Q: How does the development process work? Will the process be customized for my business? How will the Internet Solution be adapted to my industry?
Answer:Once your Internet Consultant has conducted the Internet Business Analysis™ and you approve the customized Internet Solution proposal, your specific requirements are assigned to one of our many production facilities for development. Your Internet Consultant works with the production facility to ensure that your Internet Solution meets all of your business' needs and provides your site's visitors with an enjoyable experience. Because we've been doing this for so long, our production facilities have likely already created a website for others in your industry—experience that you directly benefit from.
Q: Are the services provided with a guarantee?
Answer:Your satisfaction is important to us and you can always expect personal and professional service from your Internet Consultant. The following highlights our technical support system:
Our hosting systems are housed in secure facilities and monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week by highly trained certified support staff.
Q: How will my business and customer base grow as a result of my association with a WSI Internet Consultant?
Answer:By developing a customized Internet Solution for your business, your Internet Consultant would have identified key areas of opportunity to increase sales and reduce operating costs. Think of the savings you could achieve by replacing postal mail advertising with a targeted email campaign; replacing your traditional training processes with e-Learning; replacing your printed catalogs with full-color images online that can be updated anytime. These are significant savings you can reinvest in making your business grow. Introducing new Internet marketing strategies can help you reach more interested customers than you ever thought possible and give you unique ways of always keeping your business fresh in their minds.
Q: What is going to be my return on investment? (ROI) Answer:This depends on what type of Internet Solution you decide to invest in. Even a smaller-scale customized Internet Solution will help you realize cost savings and can increase sales. Think about what the added revenue generated by a steady stream of new customers to your website alone could mean to your bottom line.
It is not uncommon for business owners to begin with a basic solution and then upgrade over time, adding additional features and expanding on marketing efforts. WSI Internet Consultants want to develop a long-term business relationship with you, and because their office is in your local community, they'll be there to support you as your needs change and as your business grows.

The internet has been abuzz with talk of the newest Star Wars movie. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, tells the story of how the Rebellion so desperately stole the plans for the ultimate battle station, the Death Star, that Luke and company destroyed in 1977's Star Wars IV: A New Hope.
Proceed with caution, because there are movie spoilers below! If you haven't seen Rogue One and don't want to be spoiled, bookmark this page and come back after viewing! Now that you've been sufficiently warned, we can continue.
Well, what exactly does Star Wars have to do with Strategy Deployment you ask? I wasn't sure there was a connection either, at least until I read "The Connection Between Catchball and Culture" the other day.
Hoping for the Best
In the post, KaiNexus' own Maggie Millard discusses that hope is not an effective tactic for strategy deployment. She says "When people are involved in the process of strategy deployment, they are much more emotionally invested in achieving the objectives and highly likely to become engaged, instead of simply announcing the goals and hoping for the best"
Being a huge Star Wars fan and seeing Rogue One on opening night, this discussion of hope got me thinking. In the film, as the audience gets to know the protagonist, Jyn Erso (played by Felicity Jones), we find out that she struggles to find purpose and believe in the cause of the rebellion. We also see hope as one of the recurring themes in the film.
Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) tells her that "Rebellions are built on hope". Later on, Jyn states the same thing during a High Council meeting of the Rebel Alliance, hoping to gain enough support for an attack on an Imperial Base to steal the Death Star plans. Despite her impassioned plea, the council is split and filled with indecision, unable to move forward with the attack. As the audience, we know that these plans are crucial and without them, the Rebellion is doomed to fail.
The same could be said for the leaders of a Lean organization. By wavering on commitment and failing to commit to a strategy, an organization will stay stagnant. A half-hearted measure without strong leadership commitment, whether an attack on the Empire or a commitment to Strategy Deployment, is doomed to fail.
The Difference a Leader Can Make
In the aforementioned post, Maggie wrote that "When people are involved in the process of strategy deployment, they are much more emotionally invested in achieving the objectives." This isn't just about buy-in at the executive level. Leaders throughout the organization need to believe in the strategy as well.
In the film, we see that enough soldiers agree with Jyn that they are able to steal a transport and sneak onto the Imperial-occupied planet. With our heroine leading the way, everyone is determined to either complete the mission or die trying. Through their impassioned leader Jyn, the team is invested in their own success, giving that extra effort at every step of the way. One by one, Rebel soldiers fall, but not before completing their objectives. Jyn and company's selfless and possibly suicidal acts were even enough to get the entire Rebel fleet involved.
Strategy deployment throughout an organization may not hold the same stakes, but a skilled and invested leader can engage their employees and push them to do better, generating ideas and building them toward a great purpose.
In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, hope was the catalyst that gave Jyn purpose in her life and brought a fractured group together toward a common objective.
Search your feelings (and your organization) to find your own catalyst that can give your organization the boost it needs to succeed.

My career has been guided by one simple philosophy: The words we choose matter.
Whether creating media strategies, editing textbooks or tackling freelance writing assignments,
this is the philosophy I lean on to guide my efforts.
I spent the last 25 years as a freelance writer. I have worked for some of the largest companies in
the country, like IBM, Comcast and Sprint, and for some of the smallest, like Honey Creek Creamery
and Nature's Helper. My clients represent a true cross section of industries, represented by companies
such as Science of Mind magazine, Kansas City Power & Light, American Century Investments,
Market Growth Consulting, 4INFO and HNTB.
My consulting work includes every aspect of organizational communications, whether outreach to shareholders or employees, customers or the general public. I bring that content expertise to social media strategies for small business owners, nonprofit organizations and public information efforts.
Still today, my belief is that words matter.

The True Inspiration Award recipients were announced in January and include nonprofit organizations across the country. Each recipient organization received a grant ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 to further their local community impact in three categories:
- Emerging Leader Development: Organizations focused on character development, positive community and cultural involvement and effective civic engagement
- Youth Entrepreneurship: Organizations committed to developing business knowledge, entrepreneurial skills and financial literacy
- Innovative Education: Organizations dedicated to improving teaching and learning through ground-breaking practices and visionary leadership
"These inspirational organizations not only align with the Chick-fil-A Foundation's mission to support youth, they are also improving teaching and learning through ground-breaking practices and visionary leadership," said Rodney Bullard, executive director of the Chick-fil-A Foundation. "This inaugural event is our chance to celebrate these unsung heroes who are making a difference in their communities every day."
The True Inspiration Awards were inspired by the generosity of Chick-fil-A's late founder, S. Truett Cathy, who was focused both on the development of youth and entrepreneurship throughout his life of service. Organizations either applied or were nominated by local Chick-fil-A franchise restaurant operators. The next recipients of the True Inspiration Awards will be announced this fall.

Family Portraits with Cherry Blossoms
Aaahh...it's spring in Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. and that means it's time for Cherry Blossoms. Spring is definitely one of my favorite times of the year because I get to photograph beautiful families and their contagious smiles.
If you've visited Washington D.C. during the peak bloom of the Cherry Blossoms, you know the Tidal Basin quickly fills up with visitors wanting to photograph the beautiful petals of the blossoms. So we opted for a less occupied area - Hains Point. Hains point is a great location for portraits because the streets are lined with Cherry Blossom trees and the people traffic is minimal compared to the hustle and bustle of the Basin.
What a great decision! It was such a beautiful morning for family portraits. It truly was a spring morning. The temperature was in the low 70°. While we photographed, the soft breeze blew. There's nothing like a pretty girl in pink holding cherry blossoms.
This is one of my favorite portraits for 2017. It just screams it's spring time.
Although this year's cherry blossom were threatened and wasn't as full as previous years, they still were beautiful and magnificent.
It's not to late to schedule your family's spring portraits. Schedule your session today by calling (571) 250-5073 or sending an email to email@example.com.

- Zucchini 1 large, peeled and roughly grated
- Mozzarella cheese 1 cup, coarsely grated
- Bread crumbs 1/2 cup
- Refined flour 2 tbsps
- Red onion 1/2 large, finely chopped
- Basil leaves 4 fresh, finely chopped
- Dried oregano 1/2 tsp
- Egg 1 medium • 130 kcal
- Salt 1/4 tsp • 1 kcal
- Black pepper powder 1/4 tsp
- Vegetable Oil 1/2 cup
Try out this amazing dish to relish the nutritive benefits of mighty healthy zucchini. A good source of vitamin C, zucchini is very low in calories and has very mild flavors of itself, which makes it very convenient to use. Just choose the herbs correctly and you can stir up a delicious zucchini preparation yourself!
Zucchini patties can be enjoyed as a great snack alternative to the unhealthy crisps and sugary beverages. To make the recipe healthier you may bake the zucchini batter dollops on a butter paper lined baking tray and bake it until the patties turn golden brown on all sides.
- Grate the zucchini in a bowl. Now, squeeze out the excess water from the grated zucchini.
- Transfer the squeezed and grated zucchini in to a large bowl.
- Add the cheese, bread crumbs, flour, onion, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper powder, and egg to the zucchini.
- Mix everything well until evenly combined. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Make small even sized patties of the zucchini mixture.
- Cook the patties on both sides until golden brown in color and crisp in texture. S
- Serve the hot zucchini patties with the dip of your choice and enjoy!
- The onions should be chopped really fine and there should not be any big piece of onion bit added to the zucchini mixture, else the cutlet might break open while cooking in the pan.
- Crack open the egg very carefully in to the mixture so that no piece of shell is added to the mixture.
- If you are not too sure of breaking it open perfectly directly in to the mixture then you may consider breaking the egg open in to another bowl first and then transferring it to the zucchini mixture.
- You may even prepare this recipe until step 2 up to a day in advance and then resume from step 3 before you plan to serve.
- If you do so just not add salt to the recipe until you start to prepare it.
